Danny finds out that the king has ultimate power over how the realms work.

People vote for him. He's stuck in the same place.

He tries to get himself impeached by just fucking deleting half their laws.

Half the laws in the Infinite Realms are really fucking stupid. His approval rating is like 98%.

He makes a bunch of NEW laws, because okay. People like fewer laws. Maybe they'll let me leave if I make more.

People like the new laws better. He's the best leader the Infinite Realms has ever had.

Danny decides to find someone vaguely liminal and trick them into beating him in a fight, so they have to deal with this bullshit instead.

He already got rid of the law that means leadership is passed on by right of conquest.

He passes a law saying elected leaders have limited terms.

He finally gets to step down after like 10 years of this bullshit.

Everyone riots. They want Danny back. Nobody else wants to be Ghost President.

There's a coup to reinstate Danny to the throne. He is re-crowned against his will.

what if you lived in a universe where child sidekicks could not die because child sidekicks were intended to be a marketing ploy to attract child readers by presenting a child's power fantasy of "what if i could be the teammate to my favorite superhero (and not get grievously hurt/killed)". so you have a child sidekick because, in a meta sense, there's no actual serious risk of them dying and thus this doesn't really pose any serious ethical questions.

and then changing social norms and a changing media landscape lead to the universe you exist in getting tonally darker; your beloved ward who you've always had a great relationship with is suddenly someone you're arguing with constantly, the crimes are getting more real and less cartoony, the world is becoming scarier and more dangerous. and one day the people who control your universe decide that they want to really drive home this new tonal shift by undoing that most fundamental rule, that child sidekicks cannot die, and they kill your son.

I KNOW HOW MY FILTHY MUTANT ABILITIES UPSET YOU, SCHMIDT. DON’T WORRY–

–YOU WILL DIE PURE. NO MAGNETISM 

Even though he can technically go invisible and should theoretically be the best at stealth and recon, it’s actually ill-advised to take him to the steak out… sometimes he forgets he glows in the dark…

It turns out pretty well.❄️

Jazz: I-

Danny: Don't do it, Jazz! He's a liar. A pretty lair, but a lair nonetheless!

Jazz: You can tell his pretty? With everything covering his face?

Danny: He gives the vibe of a man who has gone through life flying on pretty privilege.

Jazz studying Batman: Yeah, I see what you mean.

Batman: ....Do you want to be rescued or not?

Danny: Not!

Batman: I apologize, I made that sound like you had a choice. I'm saving your lives.

Danny: The the HELL you are!

Jazz: Actually, I would like to get out of the cage the weird clown threw us in.

Danny through clentch teeth: Fine. Save us. But only because Jazz vouched for you.

Batman: Why are you so angry child?

Jazz: He doesn't trust pretty people. They bullied him through middle school and high school.

Red Robin: Wow, he must not trust himself then. After all, he's the prettiest boy I've ever seen~♡

Danny: *Barks and growls at him*

Jazz: Danny!

Danny: That one reeks of pretty privilege. He can not be trusted.

Red Robin: Jokes on you, I'm into this.
