unseriously.

(when michael says she'll protect joshua): "Will I, yeah?" dani says this in such an amused tone that to me it reads like 'i absolutely fucking will not!'

(first zombie killed) "Hah! They can be killed!" i love the way she sounds both surprised, delighted, and bloodthirsty here. like she sounds like the murder felt GOOD

(all zombies killed in tutorial) "Hah! Fuck the lot of yeh! Right. Where was U?" she says 'where was i' in a genuinely confused tone rather than an annoyed one. girl got so caught up in the bloodlust that she forgot about the whole 'helping people' thing.

Not a specific line, but the entire time she's helping Joshua and Angelina she sounds so bored and insincere. the other slayers at least sound like they don't want him to die, dani sounds like she's going through the motions and kinda doesn't give a shit.

(after being bit) "Fuck me! I was trying to help you!" that was almost exactly my thought during that moment, and *my* next thoughts were 'thats the last time i fucking help people for no reason' so im putting that on her. told you we were reaching.

in the context of the last line, dani's stomps feel especially spiteful.

a blanket statement about her absolute *lust* for weaponry. this woman is straight *purring* when she gets a good weapon, she is genuinely obsessed with zombie murder

another blanket statement: for me, one thing ive noticed about myself is i get unreasonably annoyed when thing's don't cater for/work out for me in specific, even if it would be ridiculous and stupid to expect it to be so. whenever dani (all the slayers really) get annoyed about something being locked that has no reason *not* to be locked, like someone's front door, it reminds me of that. like, how dare you impede me? it makes no sense for you not to, i'm the one trying to break in, but i'm still pissed!

(on breaking maglock) "Hitting stuff solves everything." lmao. violence isn't the answer, it's the question, and the answer is yes.

(after opening cuffs) "Fucksake. Everything in this city is fake." it's very rare but Dani occasionally seems to hint that she fuckin' hates this city. this isn't an aspd thing, i think liking LA actually makes you more sociopathic lmao, its just a fun detail.

"That's my cue to get onstage!" she is SO EAGER to go out and murder some more.

third blanket statement: any time someone tells her NOT to do whatever it is she's planned to do, she doesn't even go 'thanks, but nah' she goes 'go fuck yourself i do what i want'

(after sam tells her she's not bite proof) "Neither are they. They're not the only ones who can fight dirty." DAMBUSTER WHY DIDN'T YOU LET DANI BITE THE ZOMBIES. SHE WANTS TO BITE THE ZOMBIES.

(after talking to michael) "On it, sarge." to be clear she also hates being told what to do if it *was* the same thing she'd planned on doing.

(earthquake) "Oh, you fecker!" i ove her irrational anger. like the earthquake wasn't caused by anyone, yet dani is still cursing their name

(talking to curtis) "Who're you calling kid?" dani go five minutes without getting pissed challenge: currently impossible

"Alright then, let's find this bure." zero actual care or concern to be heard. just annoyance.

"Feck. I can't let the old fella die too, now can I?" i dunno dani it sounds a lot like that's what you'd rather do lmao. it sounds like she's annoyed that she has to pretend to care. (or at least, feels like she does. dani you are not immune to masking though you think you are)

dani *does* sound like she's upset when she tells curtis the girl died but based on her pasts lines im gonna assume she's masking lmao. (sam, are you just gonna say everything that disproves this shit is just dani masking. ... Not Everything...)

just bc dani doesn't care if most people die doesn't mean she isn't capable of it. in cases like curtis and ricky, it's being she admires their work and so she values them more (and also wants them to like her and give her things)

"Just call me your guardian angel. An angel who wouldn't say no to a wee thank-you token, mind." THERE. canonically saved old man with the express expectation of being given something in return.

"You want an escort, old fella? I won't be able to sleep at night if you get killed on my watch." she sounds like she knows curtis will refused and is glad for it. laying it on a little thick with that last statement tho, and your tone REALLY doesn't sell it girl

(GOAT pen entrance) "Locked. Time to stage a break-in!" jumping at the opportunity to do crime. my sister just another me.

"Okay, Halperin, you better have squirreled away an army fella or two away for me." For Me. if it has nothing to do with me and my plans who gives a shit. (fuck the military, wanting soldiers dead is the smart thing anyway, but still)

amanda admits that part of the reason she kept running off and doing stupid shit is that it got dani to notice her (and be mean to her)

if you havent noticed amanda is A Brat but her bratting is more putting herself in mortal danger

at this point the whole thing of 'amanda fucks off to somewhere random in HELL-A then makes dani come find her and film content with her' thing is more of a game/flirting thing for them

dani doesn't try very hard to stop it, because amanda's numen anyway. yes, she was capable and clever before that, but now that one wrong mistake won't kill her she doesn't mind as much

she still worries, of course, but it's a background sorta worry

every time they get through with the whole song and dance amanda goes 'okay im jumping down now, catch me bestie!!' and dani is like 'DO NOT' even as amanda Does.

she keeps saying that 'next time' she'll just let amanda eat shit instead of catching her. next time, she swears!

if you just listened to the way dani talks about amanda, you would NOT think she likes her. dani doesn't mean to, but she comes off as very nagging and disparaging toward amanda. amanda loves it because she is a Freak.

on the other hand, amanda is *disturbingly* sappy and affectionate with dani. it makes dani extremely flustered but-

oh fuck dani's a tsundere. god damn it. god. damn it.
