TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!
Sometimes when Dicks just too tired to deal with the batfam’s shit he starts encouraging them.
================================
Surrounded by gang members and caught in the crossfire between two gangs
Jason *pulling out a gun* : I’m gonna fucking obliterate all of them
Nightwing: Go right ahead
Jason: .. you serious? I’m not playing Dick I WILL shoot every single one of them in the head
Nightwing: sure.
Jason:
Nightwing: What you want me to start? Okay.
Jason: .. Dick why the fuck do you have a gun? DICK STOP LOADING THE GUN-
================================
At a stakeout waiting for the proof before intervening
Tim: Why can’t we just force a confession instead of waiting for him to crack?
Stephanie: Ooo or threaten him with blackmail so bad he starts crying!
Duke: Guys *eyes point to Dick sitting in a corner*
Stephanie: Right.. party pooper
Nightwing:
Nightwing: Okay got it.
*heads out*
Duke: No Dick wait! We were joking!
Stephanie: drama queen just needs a minute sunshine- wait is that him approaching the target?
Tim *who’s seen this happen before* *panicking knowing what’s gonna go down* : OH SHIT ABORT-
================================
Being stuck with a very annoying henchmen who won’t stop talking
Damian: .. Can we simply shut him up?
Nightwing: whatever you wanna do
Damian *narrows eyes*: I can’t ruin my katanna for this
Nightwing: *hands him knife*
Damian:
Nightwing: And remember, the most effective place to silence someone without causing them excruciating pain and also temporarily depriving them of air is right here *points to a small area on the neck*
Damian: ..
Nightwing: .? Go on?
Damian *putting it away* : .. no..
================================
It works a 1000 times more effectively just because either all of them are bluffing or they’re scared Dick’s not.
maomao is my favorite "not like other girls" style protagonist bc for one shes a girls girl through and through. to the bone. and two she's just a weird little freak. absolute lunatic. they have the whole "omg she's actually beautiful and everyone falls for her when she's all made up" trope but the punchline is that she does not fucking want to look like that. she actively puts dirt on her face every day bc she does not want to be perceived as attractive (mostly out of fear of being used for sex work though at the same time she has the utmost respect for women who do sex work like she grew up in a brothel those are her sisters). she's Sherlock level smart and solves every mystery so fast but goes "well thats none of my business. anyway back to testing poisons on myself" she has the 2nd most powerful guy in the nation head over heels in love with her and is like "man this guy is weird around me what's his deal. I guess he's fine though because he gives me rare medicines and has no dick" fucking ICON i love her. also she once slapped someone so hard they fell on the floor. 10/10
jason: what do you mean i’m too old for the easter bunny??
bruce: jason, and i cannot stress this enough, you’re a 22 year old crime lord who murders people on the regular
jason: okay? where are my colorful fucking eggs?
no offense but the soft uncertain kiss followed by a pause where the people look each other in the eyes and then fucking pull eachother back into a more passionate kiss will always be the most soul destroying trope , catch me lying on the fucking ground sobbing and rewatching The Scene™✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
You know, it’s possible that Danny has more Right to the Throne than just having beaten Pariah Dark.
In episode 13 on Halloween, Danny took the Sword of Pariah Dark’s right hand servant and Knight Fright Knight. Danny’s “I’ll have it back by Midnight.” Could be easily be taken as a challenge. That Danny intends to put Fright Knight back into stasis before midnight Unless Fright Knight can reclaim his sword and defeat him before that time.
Doesn’t matter what Danny’s actual intentions were for the Sword. He freed Fright Knight. stated his terms and left with it.
Fright Knight manages to retrieve Soul Shredder but the fight isn’t over. There’s still time to Midnight which means the Challenge is still in place. They fight, Danny successfully defeats Fright Knight in a battle not just of strength but Will. His aura flairs while they struggle against each other for control of Soul Shredder.
Danny wins and speaks the verse “To cease the storm, To end the fear, The sword must sheathe, In pumpkin near!” Before sheathing Soul Shredder in a ‘pumpkin’ and stating, “Told ya I’d have it back by midnight.” Claiming his victory against The Spirit of Halloween ON the Day/Evening where he’s likely more powerful than usual.
Danny Fenton challenges The Ghost King’s Right Hand, before Vlad makes a move to get the Key. Danny Phantom successfully defeats Fright Knight in 1v1 combat.
Danny Fenton-Phantom threw down his right to duel Pariah with his full self, both as Living and Dead. Without even realizing that’s what was happening bc he’s 14 and well, there’s no one around teaching him that there are rules and a formal process to things.
The Infinite Realms won’t care that Danny came and ‘stole/borrowed’ Soul Shredder’ for some Living Bet, (of which he immediately showed his code of honor in admitting to cheating and accepting the consequence of losing the Bet.) maybe unless an adult intervened but its funnier if he does eat the underwear but unintentionally and on instinct does that intangible trick that happened with that Spork in Public Enemy.
THEN when Dark is released Danny is the one who pulls out the Sword (initially to fight Vlad but ultimately ends up denying surrender thus kickstarting the challenge) and Danny is the one who goes to the castle/keep alone and begins the fight. It took a TEAM of Ancients to put Pariah away the first time. Yet the Ghosts who come to help not only give him a pep talk but refuse to go with him to help in the Duel.
And I think it’s because they either Knew this was a Challenge for the Throne or sensed it Had to be Danny first and Had to be Danny only who fought.
If anything Vlad would be considered his second. Or at most the first choice for a temporary monarch until Danny comes of age to be Crowned. After all Vlad didn’t fight ANYONE at any point in acquiring what was needed to free Pariah. The Behemoth was made to retreat from pursuing Vlad who used Trickery to get the key like a thief, he fled from Pariah Dark rather than face him in anyway and convinced Fright Knight to “work for him” rather than fight him either.
Sure that might seem like a good idea and maybe if Vlad had actually managed to Overthrow Pariah with an uprising he would have some footing to make a claim but he doesn’t have any backing in using Right of Conquest for such a claim.
The Right of Conquest is a right of ownership to land after immediate possession via force of arms. A Force of Arms is defined as “by using Weapons” or “by military action.” The ghosts fighting the army of Skeletons would count as military action and the Exosuit would be considered a Weapon.
By taking this into consideration Vladimir Masters-Plasmius (who by all accounts classifies as a Spy) has no Right to the Throne of The Infinite Realms, and also did everything via his ghost self.
Where Danny Fenton-Phantom was victorious in Two 1v1 Duels against both The Royal Knight and The High King himself. AND is active within the ghostly community with both his Living and Unliving sides. Has shown commitment to the well being and safety of both The Realms and The Living Realms on countless occasions.
So under these observations I have decided Vlad has no substantial claim to the Title or Position of King. Especially after that fucking mess in Kindred Spirits where Danny gave him a fucking beat down.
Anyway those are my thoughts on how Danny actually pulled a fast one on Vlad (unintentionally) who figured it out and instead of trying to defeat or challenge Danny for the Throne actually intended to replace him with a clone that would obey him and Rule or become Ruler that way. Aside from just being a terrible person and ‘Father’ that would likely be a primary factor in his rejection of Elle.
Thank you for coming to my PhanTalk. I will be accepting questions but also vanishing from the net to play Don’t Starve and House Flipper.
