Out of Context Stuff for a Danyal Al Ghul au i haven't posted - Pit Beast Danyal
Damian, 13: Look, Danyal, -- I am so sorry for everything that happened between us in the League, I hope you can forgive me.
Danny, 10 (allegedly): (has been secretly plotting to murder Damian this whole time, is still gonna do it obvs, but is going to make it significantly less painful now)
Danny: I-- of course, older brother. :]
--------
Bruce: what do you have there, Damian?
Damian:
Danny: (a hulking 10ft pit beast standing beside him, growling idly with ram horns gouging out his eyes and a second set of horns jutting into the air, spines down his back, and a long, spiked tail with an animalistic, skull-like face)
Damian, who smuggled him in (they've made amends): a smoothie, father
----------
Damian: this is my little brother Danyal, i murdered him when he was five. He festered in rage for the last half-a decade, took over a League mountain base in Switzerland, murdered everyone inside and then tried to murder me when I went to investigate with Drake.
Danny: hello!
Damian: we're cool now
----------
Damian: thoughts on resurrection
Danny, (a full ghost): i will succeed in murdering you if you try it
Damian: we'll put a pin in it then
----------
Danny (still instilled with League values): why don't we just murder him??
Damian, on patrol (Danny followed him): we don't murder people, Danyal
Danyal:,,,,are you sick, Dami?? Have you been possessed? Why not!?
(There is raucous laughing through the comms)
----------
Danny, five, pre-death: Dami! :D
Danny, dead, vengeful: Older brother (:
Danny, post-forgiveness: Dami! :]
-------
For some actual context: Danny is fully dead in this au, its a result of the classic DPxDC Demon Twins "death duel" trope but instead of Danny getting revived, he stays fully dead. Danny was five, Damian was seven. His ghost lingered though, and due to the proximity of the pits his ghost steadily absorbed the ambient energy it was letting off. The pits are not corrupted ectoplasm in this au, it's just liquid ecto.
Which means Danny's corruption from an angry and hurt little ghost boy to an unrecognizable monster is from his own doing. It's a result of him stewing in his hurt and anger for years, it physically warped him. He's very powerful. Danny can travel between League Bases but chose a small, out-of-the-way base in the Swiss mountains to fester in and then just. Never Left.
His influence steeped into the very foundations of the building, allowing him to transform and warp the rooms and hallways for his own bidding, Meaning he could turn it into a seemingly unending labyrinth if he so wished to, and block the entrance.
Eventually, blinded (both metaphorically and physically) by his own rage, Danny grew powerful enough to appear physically in the living realm and attacked everyone in the base, slaughtering them all and leaving the base abandoned. He attacks anyone who dares enter -- whether that be other league members, or the unfortunate hiker who stumbled across the base. His conscious is steeped into every nook and cranny of the building, there is nowhere you can hide where he can't find. Nobody leaves without his explicit say so. Nobody ever does.
Him appearing as ten years old before Damian in the skits above is his own physical doing. First it was to prevent Damian from being suspicious of him. Damian initially thought Danny was revived with the pits, he was too busy with his own training afterwards to notice that Danny never showed up again, and when he did notice, he assumed it was because Danny was too ashamed of his loss to face him. He'd always forget to ask about him.
Then it becomes a personal choice to appear as ten. It's how old he would've been had he been alive.
danny forgiving Damian is kinda for an offshoot branch of the main au. Whereas the main au takes the form of a ps4 first person horror game where Damian and Tim are investigating the Base for Plot Reasons. There's no sign of the rumored "monster" living inside until the end, where Danny, who was found inside the Base and has been happily "helping" them look around, manages to persuade Damian into splitting off from Tim in order to "show him something."
This something turns out to be Danny revealing that he never really forgave Damian for that fight, and he reveals through a horrifying transformation, that he was the monster the whole time. Which the game subtly hints at throughout as Danny's strange behavior becomes harder to ignore.
First from his insistence to only refer to Damian as "older brother" (when before the duel he always called him Damian or Dami), to him right off the bat denying the existence of a monster when questioned. ("There's no monster here, older brother. It's just me.") To other various things, like his knowledge of the outside world not matching up to modern times or things going on with the league outside of the base, or what happened to the other league members.
This whole idea was inspired by the song "Scylla" from Epic the Musical, with Danyal being the voice of Scylla as well as Odysseus, while Damian stands as Eurylochus. The instrumentals after Scylla says "hello" is him turning into the pit beast, and Scylla's "drown in your sorrow and fears" part is danny, as the pit beast, snarling at Damian while he attacks him.
There's a Good Ending, a Bad Ending, and a True Ending. The Bad Ending results in Damian being killed by Danny, it happens when Damian decides not to question or suspect Danny and treats him kindly. The Bad Ending is a cutscene, where Danny kills Damian quick and painlessly.
Meanwhile the Good Ending is Damian killing Danny. This is a boss fight, and it happens when Damian treats Danny coldly and suspiciously the whole time. Danny as a result, decides to make Damian's death painful as he had planned to, which is why it's a boss fight because it only causes him to double down on his anger.
The True Ending is Damian escapes with Tim. It happens when you treat Danny warmly up until the last minute, where when Danny proposes to Damian that he wants to show him something, Damian goes to talk to Tim and finally, reluctantly agrees that something is off with Danny, and that he'll be careful going in. It starts off with the boss fight until a third through, where it then changes to a cutscene where Tim manages to get the door open and Damian escapes out. It's then a chase scene down a never-ending hallway as the building actively works to keep you trapped inside. But you eventually make it to the exit so long as you avoid all the projectiles and doors.
Remember when I mentioned that Danny only lets people leave when he wants them to? That's where the treating Danny kindly throughout the game comes into play. It causes him to second guess himself and, eventually, reawaken and strengthen the love and admiration he had for Damian prior to his murder. It's why in the Bad Ending he kills Damian quickly -- because by then, he loves him enough that he doesn't want him to suffer, but is still so consumed by his rage and need for vengeance that he kills him anyways. That quiet part is what allows Damian (and Tim) to find the exit, because some part of Danny still loves Damian enough that he wants him to live.
The True Ending ends with a cutscene of Damian and Tim tumbling out into the snow/grass outside of the base. Damian looks up back to the entrance to see Danny standing there. But rather than a ten year old boy, there's a little five year old Danyal Al Ghul instead. He stares at Damian emotionlessly, blood seeping from his chest, staining his clothes, and little, bloody sword in his hands and tearstains on his cheeks, before he turns away and disappears back into the building.

um. danny from in the gloaming headcanons (said like im doing a presentation to the class)
- he and paul had a (fighting the urge to say dachsund) beagle when they were together and his name is frank (full name frank-n-furter). his fav toy was a tennis ball :3
- the first person to suspect danny was gay was actually annie, bc he couldn't help but gossip with her (i take them as twins also?) and she was like i knew i smelt a queer
- he and gary newman(?) (the guy in the photo) were best friends in highschool, but when gary found out he was gay they stoped being friends. im torn between it being a friend turned bully situation or if he just backed away bc he was uncomfortable with it. they could also be exes idk hes only mentioned once
- janet would send over letters in the mail a few times a year with photos from back at home (photos including but not limited to: stuff martin grew in the garden, cool stuff at the museum she works at, photos of johnnie (w/ small notes from annie), and the trees in the fall)
- martin and danny used to go on runs together when he was in highschool, conversations were shallow if present at all
- i honestly dont think danny came out to anyone in his family, MAYBE janet if anyone but even then i doubt it. OH THAT CONNECTS TO THE GARY HC ok he got outed in senior year.
- this isnt a hc actually! danny went to uc berkley for college :-) wait oh my god thats actually not at all okay because this movie takes place in connecticut (i think(edit: thank u matthew n joel it takes place in new york but iiiii. want it to take place in new england so it still will. to me.)) and berkleys across the country ohhhhhhh my god he wanted to get away from everyone ohhhhhghgggghg
- danny likes folk music (and related subgenres) because I SAID SO his fav band was simon & garfunkel but had he made it to the 2000s itd be nickel creek and i dont care that im projecting
- autistic because i want him to be. i dont have reasoning for it beyond that and i dont need to
- had one (1) girlfriend in middle school which lasted maybe 3 months. they went to the movies once, went out to eat once, hugged after school once, and thats it
also ive been imagining 1986 rsl as baby danny and iiiiiii. sniff. whyd they have to include them as kids in the beginning of the movie BANGS ON THE FUCKING WALLS CAN ANYONE HEAR ME
open >>> @cagliostrostart
location: tiger heat club
There was a puff of glitter flying into the air as the rainbow fan clashed with the god-awful looking synthetic wig that the security deemed acceptable to enter the club. It was almost as if it all happened in slow-motion from the moment Danny's patience ran out. And hey, that wasn't too hard to accomplish. He was going to grab the bottle right next to his hand, but somehow his instinct told him that he would have to pay for it if he broke it over the stranger's head. Instead, as he hopped up on the bar with one impressive jump, he took some other club goer's fan and with a worthy weapon in his hand, Danny delivered the Reyes tackle blow no.3, jumping on top of the offender and rapidly hitting them with the fan over and over again.
The next thing he knew, he was plucked away from his victim by a security guard three times his size. "Wait! Wait, wait! Put me down, I'm not done yet!" After being thrown out of the building, Danny landed on his feet almost flawlessly, although he didn't care much about that as he tried to run back inside and practically bounced off the security guard. "Bobby, come on. I FUCKING WORK HERE, BOB! My ciggies are inside, please--?" He groaned as he was met with no reaction whatsoever, rolled his eyes, then turned to walk towards the alleyway, all the while mumbling in spanish. "I gotta break in to do my goddamn job..."
"Do you ever wonder if life is really... better here? Better than home?" Imogen asks, sleepy. The gentle music accompanying the credits of a movie plays on her laptop in the small confines of her apartment. Things always feel very easy with Danny; easy to be honest, and vulnerable. It's late in the evening and she's feeling pensive, in a way she can only really express to Danny.
It's something she often feels guilty for feeling: that this realm is better than the last. It's embarrassing, like admitting that home isn't enough. But it also haunts her, and she rolls onto her tummy where she lies on the bed, chin in her hands, looking earnestly at Danny for an answer. @woodstangled

emmeline had been relieved that danny had noticed she just needed someone to sit with her. she'd always felt lonely, unwanted and now max and ana had given up on her, she felt like she was at a loss. the harder she tried to get them closer to her, the more she ended up messing up. "thank you for coming over, really." a quick nod of the head and she was already looking down. "sorry if i smell a bit. tried to wash my hair in the sink but it was difficult and then i kind of gave up on the rest."
