TRIPLE A and SURVIVING DAY BY DAY

Inspired by this

Danny was tired. It wasn't normal tired, no. It was a core deep emptiness that nothing seems to help.

In desperation, he took melatonin and let Boxy run amok that night, and it still didn't help.

Now facing a boastful Skulker, he's rapidly becoming angry. The GIW fools and his genetic donors are causing damage to his territory, and the ghost isn't listening to Danny's attempts to talk him down.

He blacks out for what seems like a blink, and comes to in the caves below amity.

He's covered in ecto that smells distinctly of Skulker, metal dust and shards embedded into his suit. An innocent looking core sits against the wall opposite him.

Despite the situation, he feels good. He feels better rested than he has in months. The empty ache in his chest is finally filled. The core across the room..

Oh, that's Skulker...

The Hunter is metaphorically curled up on himself at Danny's feet, pleading for mercy, saying he'll leave him alone.

Please just throw me in the zone. Please don't eat me. Please please please...

Oh, is that why he's...

Huh.

It's almost absent-minded, as Danny picks up and pockets the pleading core. He knows he should probably be disgusted, but the purring of his instincts is too satisfied for that.

Luckily, he wasn't missing for too long, and the ghost hunters hadn't witnessed anything incriminating.

danny gets enrolled at hive academy because of vlad, the problem is that he actually likes it there, and if it was closer to his haunt it would actually be the perfect place! like, yeah it’s technically a villain school, but they let him just go after giw bases and petty crime that doesn’t directly hurt innocents, and it’s not like it’s connected to his normal ghost identity, since vlad oh so kindly made the mistake of leaving the description blank allowing him to choose the most wild funny outfit he wanted for his “villain outfit”. now theres just the problem that the new principal is using the school for unrelated bad crime, at least according to the ease dropping he’s done while invisible on the new students who are, pretty clearly at least to him, undercover hero kids. now he has to convince them not to take down his new school in the process of catching this guy.

I have thoughts.

....

Danny's eyes are glowing red beneath the mask. He swishes the Pancho as he walks, the outer guards normie bullets going through him.

Amusingly, they keep firing as he crosses into their ranks. The first man he touches as he passes is through collapses. He pauses...watching with interest as the man writhes uselessly. With a violent tearing sound, icy spikes burst from his flesh from within, leaving a macabre art piece impaled and suspended above the ground.

The other guards stink with delicious fear, desperately increasing their fire as they run. One man's throat explodes in a chunky spray, his head lolling off and hanging by a few scant pieces of shredded skin.

He continues towards the base, energy dancing under his gloves. Vehicles and equipment explode and or are impaled on icy spikes as he passes.

They sealed the main doors, but that isn't much of an obstacle for Danny. He kneels in the wreckage, pressing the focusing snout of the mask to the ground...and he screams.

The earth shakes and tears like wet paper. Deep within in the earth, eardrums shatter, ears leaking brackish blood as they're consumed with hallucinations of being electricuted and torn apart. Chunks of the base land on unfortunate agents and doctors, crushing them into red paste.

With a hum, Danny drops into the dark, ghostly vision taking over. Escaped prisoners are shredding surviving agents with their teeth and claws, howling with relief as the death and destruction heals their tormented forms. An agent blindly runs into him, caught in Danny's unforgiving grip. He starts squeezing the man's skull, feeling the microcracks spread as he pulls the man's head like a grape.

With a few flicks of levers and turns of valves, the generator is set to blow. Danny sends out a wave of power, warning the escaped ghosts to get clear.

He catches a smile that’s a tad too fond, and he’s like ‘oh, they’re dating,’ and when they announce it a few months later, Bruce is unsurprised cause he labeled them as dating forever ago in his database

He doesn’t realize that some relationships are secret and being kept from him, because he naturally finds those things out. He is the world’s greatest detective after all. Any microexpression made in his presence has been analyzed and dissected easily

One of the kids thinks they’re hiding their relationship so well, but Bruce already knows how long they’ve been dating and where their first date was (cause they used his card to pay for everything)

He doesn’t say anything because… well, why would he? As long as there isn’t too much interference with their vigilante life, most of his children are grown adults and can do what they want.

Bruce is only oblivious to his own relationships. Or maybe, he simply chooses to ignore the obvious signs and act oblivious, simply because he believes it’s a better solution

If there’s someone who likes him, he knows it. Of course, he does; he’s been flirted with and hit on his entire life.

But if someone likes him and he also likes them back, then he suddenly can no longer use that big brain of his to tell what the other person is actually feeling

He truly believes he wouldn’t be able to give the other person the kind of love and attention they deserve while he lives his double life, even if this person was also a hero and had their own double life

It’s illogical, so he’ll pretend that he has no idea the object of his attraction also seems to be attracted to him, and he’ll keep them at arm's length. It’s the best he can do for them

Sooner or later, they’ll come to understand that he is nowhere near the wonderful, caring, compassionate, and good person some people see him as. He’s got darkness in him. He’s a monster that is barely being contained by his crusade to make his city a better place

Like his language consists of noises that are simultaneously very simple compared to the overlapping eridian notes, and weird clicking/hard sounds that no one could even begin to try to imitate. To begin with, that's a weird combination.

And there's a popular headcanon going around that Grace can pronounce certain simple words in eridian without his piano thingy, and he would sound like a pebble learning to speak. Let's make it creepy and assume eridians also have a fear of the uncanny valley.

Grace getting better with time at imitating simple words, therefore accidentally making himself sound more and more like a pebble, sounding right enough, but not quite. That shit would be creepy as fuck.

Imagine an alien that can imitate the way the children of your species sound like. At first you'd freak out! Yeah he saved your planet but. It's like a fucking mimic. Then you'd see him trip over nothing and fall face first and you'd calm down.

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs
