Gotham city news has been reporting it since it was witnessed

A tall red head punching billionaire Bruce Wayne in the face on live television no one knows the reason except the newest wayne adoptee Daniel j Fenton

His sister waited till she was 18 to adopt danny some big shot billionaire isn't gonna change that

I just want jazz fully prepared to deck bruce knowing or not he's batman

And doing it publicly too! I like this. I need a Jazz that is half feral from the stress her parents and baby brother put her through. She is ready to throw down with anyone.

Jason flirts with her but makes the mistake of putting a hand on Dannys head to ruffle his hair.

Next thing he knows he's lying on the grass outside after having been thrown out the window. He only fell harder for her.

Ok so I get it probably didn't happen or isn't possible but imagine when eclipse first went to solars universe he put a backup in solar and he never knew. because the amount of time from when eclipse left the balcony to solar appearing is not that far apart and plus if he teleported out I'm not very familiar with their teleportation but could he have teleported him back to his sleep space and had him wake up unaware of what was going on with his body.

I get that the reason they're not in the same room is because they share the same voice actor. But the angst potential of them torturing eclipse only to reveal it's not just eclipse by swapping with solar. With solar waking up in pain and confused. For him to wake up moon tearing him apart and torturing him. The amount of trauma all around especially for solar if eclipse hurt someone or did something using his body. God the guilt that would tear him apart

Sorry for rambling

I’m kind of… of two minds about today’s SAMS episode.

(Warning for resigned and unhappy ranting below the cut)

The acting was spot-on—especially Moon’s hysterical laughing fit and the way Solar was trying to protect him and keep him from making rash decisions—but I don’t really like that they used Eclipse the way they did to achieve that. It seems almost… not exactly like a plot device, per say, but more of… an unnecessary upping of the stakes, I suppose? The group was already facing threats on five fronts: The constellations, Stitchwraith, Bloodmoon, Ruin’s mystery, and the Creator’s machinations.

And, sure, technically you could separate out the Creator, constellations, and Stitchwraith since their “plotlines” are more intertwined with the Lunar and Earth show and Monty and Foxy show… but considering how often Sun, Moon, and Solar get pulled into that and how Stitchwraith was technically the one who blew up the daycare, they are still fairly intertwined. So adding Eclipse in on top of all of that just feels a little… not great. Especially considering that it sort of ruins that scene he had with Solar Flare as the two of them were dying.

That isn’t to say I can’t see a few ways this could work. For example, Ruin could just be pulling another “Bloodmoon” and basically creating a new Eclipse using old SAMS footage to basically act as a smoke screen and hide whatever he is up to. He could have even used bits of Solar’s programming to do so given that it is pretty likely they were the one to knock Solar out, and there was tons of time to scan him and make blueprints after hiding the camera footage. Or Sun could be right and it could all just be a mean prank from Ruin’s end. Sure, Solar saw him on the camera footage today in the arcade, but since it was more than likely Ruin who edited the footage of Solar getting attacked, they could also very easily edit the footage to make it seem like they never left the arcade when in reality they had come over to mess with Sun and Moon. And they had plenty of time to learn how to disable the defenses and mess with the computer since they used to live in the ballpit, which is extremely close by one of the entrances to reach the computer from Moon’s room.

And it could, in theory, be the original Eclipse from when Sun first threw him out of his mind and messed up the spell and who has only just now managed to fix himself and stayed caught up on what was happening by watching the show—showing that he really did learn from his mistakes when Lunar pointed out how useful the viewers can be at information gathering. Or it could be any number of backups that Old Moon never found before Bloodmoon started being an actual nuisance that first time.

But give the show’s track record for bringing up interesting plot points and ideas only to drop them or otherwise retcon explanations… honestly, my hopes aren’t that high.

Honestly… I feel like I might want to just step away from the show for a while. At least partially—Maybe just focusing more on the gameplay side of the show more than the lore. Like. I still like the show, but I’m not really as excited as I used to be for the theorizing part, and I might be a little burnt out now.

I’m not saying I won’t be interacting with or posting about the show occasionally still, or that I won’t ever come back in full force, but…

I might just need to think about the recent developments for a while first, I guess. Maybe just focus on some other things in general anyways—It’s not like I don’t have stuff that needs attending to offline, after all.

Sorry if this leaves a sour taste in anyone’s mouth, and I’m not trying to dampen anyone else’s joy or excitement about the new developments. I just feel a bit down about the way things are going, and I needed to vent about those feelings a bit.

…I do want to emphasize again how much I loved Moon and Solar’s reaction today, though, because that was really, really excellent.

TW for mild unreality

So in a lot of DP x DC crossovers I notice that everyone instantly makes the connection of infinite realms = ghosts. But what if they didn't? I mean, to most humans ghost equals dead person. Not everyone in the infinite realms is dead.

Instead, what if everyone thought it was a realm similar to the Fae Realms? A place where everything is only as real as you want it to be, where the land itself lives and breathes and changes it's form every which when. Perhaps that's why the Fentons think of ghosts as mischievous semi-sentient tricksters, they misread some older texts talking about them.

And they could be right in a way. What if dead ghosts are actually the souls of people who caught the attention of the realms/someone in them and so the realms grabbed their soul upon death to keep. If liminality means you're a guaranteed ghost then maybe that's the realms' way of keeping track of Interesting People so they know when they're up for grabs (they were patient and let you live out your life without interference, it's only polite).

But then, why are ghosts so quick to jump to fistfights now instead of battles of wit? Well that's because of Pariah Dark. The older kings were all the cleverest, the smartest, and perhaps Pariah was clever in a way (he turned a battle of wits he would surely lose into a battle of power after all, and that takes some wit in and of itself) but he valued power and physical might more and so the realms changed to reflect that. And then Danny came along. A small baby child who beat Pariah AT HIS OWN GAME. A child who employs both might and wit in equal measure because he knows the value of both. That small child, king of Ice and Snow, Little Prince, Boy King, a Strategist, a Warrior, that tiny kid is now the King. And the realms change once more to reflect that.

So when Danny is crowned King the ghost zone goes back to being similar to Faerie, only with more fights because Danny is not afraid to straight up punch someone (he's kinda feral like that).

So on the DC side of things maybe there's a summoning (accidental or cult induced), or Danny ends up in the watchtower/Gotham/important place, or maybe the League decide they have enough time to scout out Amity Park and figure out what's going on. They meet Danny, who calls himself a ghost, and are like "You're not like the other ghosts I've met but I don't know enough to refute that" and eventually it gets back to Constantine about this "ghost" boy, and he FREAKS OUT. This is an Infinite Realms denizen, a people similar to Unseelie Sidhe in all the legends, him being a ghost just means he was (or would be, time likes to wander in the realms. Sometimes the present is the future and that past has Not Yet Occurred) interesting enough to nab when he died! And they've been TALKING to him?? That's how you get their attention! You don't want their attention! It's bad enough that Red Hood has a guaranteed fast track there with the sheer amount of Realms Energy swirling around him ever since his resurrection he doesn't need any more people putting up massive I AM HERE signs willy nilly! Just because most denizens are willing to wait until you die to try and steal you away, that doesn't mean that all of them are. And now that Pariah Dark is gone, and the New King is perfectly willing to entertain wit and humor in his court once more, well. It's free real estate.

TLDR the Infinite Realms are Fae-Adjacent and Constantine is Terrified.

I-

this is just incredible. I have no words. I am in awe.

uhm… pleased to bleat you? 🐑

Nexus makes a Call out on Moon

(snapcube audio fan animatic)

Jazz: so umm... why was I called here to the Lazarus pits?

*Batman points upwards where Danny is floating on the ceiling giggling. Red Hood is perched on a crevice near him trying to bribe him with a cookie*

Jazz: What happened?

Batman: he took one look at the pit cried "I must drink the forbidden kool-aid" and stuck his head in.

Jazz: I would ask why you didn't stop him but he can turn intangible so that's a mout point.

Batman: it's also why we can't get him out of here.

Jazz: so he's just been up there? for how long?

Batman: 8 hours. He has windows of being sober but he keeps drinking from the pit before we can convince him to leave.

Jazz: Why does he have a batarang?

Red Hood: Batman used his dad voice on him the second time he drunk from the pit and he started crying. It was the only thing that got him to stop.

Jazz tired sigh: okay I got this *smiles and uses a tone of voice normal saved for very little kids* Danny!

Danny: Jazz! :D

Jazz: what are doing up there?

Danny: I'm a balloooooon

Jazz: I see. Have you had dinner yet?

Danny: Noooope just some coookies. Red Hood is the bestest hero. He gave me cookies. And, and dis, dis thingy he took from Batman. Batman scary. He's a scary... scary... bat

Jazz: well Nasty burger is going to close soon and you know what happens when Nasty burger closes before you have dinner?

Danny horrified: I have to eat what's at home *turns to Red Hood and gives batarang* I gotta go *starts descending in circles blowing raspberries*

Batman: what is he doing

Jazz: being a balloon

Justice League: *peacefully existing*

Danny:

Captain Marvel:

Danny: wanna see me stop my heart

Captain:

Captain: absolutely

Everyone with enhanced hearing in JL: *very concerned and frightened panic*
