A biiiiig stretch
so i’m sure the remake of a timeless classic that disney is about to roll out is going to be great and all
but here’s another way we could do things:
he’s the beauty
she’s the beast
for a movie who’s central theme is inner beauty, it doesn’t really do anything to support that, you know? so how about this: adam, our prince turned beast, isn’t an inhospitable monster. because this back story doesn’t make any sense – why is the young prince of this land alone, in a castle, only to be caught unaware by a witch?
so how about this – this is pseudo france, right, so these royals do what their real life counterparts did. they flee. the cruel, greedy king and queen flee and leave their young son behind with their staff. their son who is kind and soft hearted and totally unfit to rule any kingdom (never mind that they’re literally running away from their own people). not only that – they trade their son for their freedom, trade their kingdom for their freedom. to the witch.
so the witch comes, and she doesn’t disguise herself as a crone, goes to him looking as lovely and young as her magic keeps her. but our prince adam has a talent, one many cast-aside, neglected children have developed – the ability to see people for who they really are, and he knows this is no kind young woman in need of his help. he refuses to let her in – and there’s this little twist to the magic, that she can only enter the palace grounds and claim her prize if she’s welcomed in a as a guest, and he, the young master of this castle, won’t let her in.

I, honestly, need Jason picking up Bruce's arguments during fights and using them back on him. In the most unexpected moments. Just imagine Bruce getting mad during another of their patrols, and in the middle of the screaming session, Jason just switches and doubles him with his own phrases.
Jason: Okay, that's enough. You are benched from being my side-kick.
Bruce, flabbergasted: Excuse me?
Jason: You heard me. This is unspeakable violence you are displaying here, by the way.
Bruce: ???
Bruce: You are not going to berate me for smashing CRANE to the wall a few times.
Jason: Oh, why not?
Bruce: That was— That is justified.
Jason: Well, who do you think you are to decide what is justified and what is not? Huh, lad?
Bruce:
Bruce: Hood, that's—
Jason: Am I right, boys?
Tim, chewing on the popcorn: Yep, yep. Also hit him with a "What example are you showing to your little brother?" line for me.
Jason: Noted.
Bruce: ???????
Bruce: This is ridiculous. I can't stress enough how—
Jason: I am not your father to deal with this, B.
Bruce: I—
Bruce: Wait, when did I say something like that to you?
Jason: Before I ran away and died? Lol
Bruce: ...
Bruce: Oh. Shit.
Captain Marvel gets kidnapped and put under a magical truth spell except it’s the Marvel & Billy Are Separate People AU so the kidnappers don’t get any info on his (Billy’s) secret identity
Kidnapper: “Alright Marvel! What’s your real name?”
Captain Marvel: “Captain Marvel”
Kidnapper: “what??? No! I mean your real name!”
Cap: “my real name is Captain Marvel”
Kidnapper: “what?! Ugh nevermind. How old are you?”
Cap: “I’m supposed to keep count of that?”
Kidnapper, getting more frustrated by the second: “just- just give me a rough estimate”
Cap: “at least a few million years, though I was asleep for a few thousand”
Kidnapper: “…”
Kidnapper, moving on: “well, where do you live?”
Cap: *shrugs*
Kidnapper: “you can’t just shrug! Where do you live?!?!”
Cap: “the rock, I guess”
Kidnapper: “the rock- WHAT IS THE ROCK?”
Cap: “basically a big cave”
Kidnapper: “YOU LIVE IN A CAVE???”
Dick, tired after another session of being bullied by his own siblings: God, do we even have someone in this family who is accepting?
Tim: Well, not me and Steph, obviously
Damian: I am not in this particular competition. Perhaps Cain?
Stephanie, scoffing: Absolutely not my beautiful Cass. She judges you hard every day in my dms.
Dick, hopeful: Duke?
Damian, who had been shit-talking about others with Duke for a year now: You have a wrong idea in mind, Grayson.
Cassandra, appearing out of nowhere: Jason.
Tim, instantly protesting: No! He is like, professional hater.
Cassandra, shrugging: Does he hate things? Yes. Does he judge? No. Try admitting the most different things to him — you will see.
Everyone: ...
Everyone: On it.
Tim, eying at Jason, who sits in the Batcave during one of the missions: Jason?
Jason: Mhm?
Tim: Urgh... I fucked up. Forgot about Bart's birthday.
Jason: Okay? Just aplogise and gift him stuff.
Tim: ...Okay, wtf, since when you are so understanding?
Jason: Wtf?
Duke: Urgh, Jason?
Jason: What?
Duke: I got in the fight in school.
Jason: Well, you clearly won?
Duke: Yeah, sure.
Jason: Cool. Have fun dealing with the aftermath.
Duke: ...
Duke: ...Thanks?
Stephanie: I eat pineapple pizza and coat my watermelon with Nutella.
Jason:
Jason: ...Okay? Bon appetite?
Stephanie: !!!
Damian: I probably killed someone by the accident.
Jason: Aha. Is that a request for my cleaning services or just an information to keep in mind?
Damian: ...Second one.
Jason: Ok. Have fun.
Dick, a week after: Man, okay, you are clearly not high, I checked. What is the secret of such an angelic level of acceptance while being a hater????
Jason: I follow the Idk+Idc rule. I don't know and I don't care.
Dick: But don't you feel outrageous? At least sometimes? LIKE, MAN, WATERMELON AND NUTELLA?
Jason: I don't know. I don't care.
Jason, after a beat of silence: Unless it is Bruce. Him, I judge.
Dick: ...Of course.
Jason: yo, whatcha doin’? Damian: *arms crossed, glaring out the window* Father forbade me from moving out Jason: well you are like fiv— Damian: is this not called the land of the free? Jason: Damian: how can I be free, held within these walls like a canary in a coal mine? Forbidden from spreading my wings? Jason: bro you ain’t even in middle school yet, turn off the teenage angst and have one of the cookies I brought you Damian: *huffs and petulantly accepts the cookie* Jason: why’d’ya even wanna move out anyway? Damian: Jason: Damian: . . . Father said he would not allow me to house a tiger here, which I find unacceptable Jason: Jason: you. Have a tiger? Damian: *frowning* have I not mentioned this before? You must have seen her during your time in the League, Akhi. She was but a cub then Jason: KID, YOU KNOW I WAS HIGH AS A KITE ON GREEN ANGER JUICE WHILE I WAS RHERE. THE ONLY THINGS I CARED ABOUT WERE YOU, THAT ONE DESSERT MADE IN THE KITCHENS WITH RICE, AND THE EXTREMELY ENTICING IDEA OF BURNING THIS MANOR TO THE GROUND. YOU KNOW MY MEMORY OF THAT TIME IS SPOTTIER THAN DICK’S ABILITY TO ACCEPT PHONE CALLS. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WOULD REMEMBER A FUCKIN CAT? I AINT EVEN A CAT PERSON Damian: *arches brow* really? You were the one to help me bottle feed her. She slept in your lap most nights. Jason: Jason: this is manipulation Damian: 🥺 Jason: Jason: fine. She can stay at my house. But you’re explaining this to Dickie.
The form he's stuck in is a merman form. But it's not, like, a typical merman form.
He'd been trying to see if he could reshape his ecto while he was in human form, and he had! But he'd also gotten overenthusiastic in experimenting, added too many features unique to his ghost form, and now he can't shift into either form.
Human or ghost.
He's stuck.
He's stuck as a merman with his human features, his ghost-form eye color (it glows), his human form hair (tinted with glowing green-ish white), deep blue scales on his tail that fade into that seem glowing greenish white, and fully functional gills.
He also cannot use his ghost powers. He knows that they're there, but for some reason his current form will not allow their usage. Maybe...maybe he's using too much ghost energy to keep up the transformation?
Regardless, he got captured by some sleezeball and thrown into a traveling freakshow. Highly illegal, and he's slowly losing hope that he'll be able to escape, because he just. Can't. Shift. Back!
Then the sleezeball makes a stupid mistake; he puts the freakshow up in Metropolis.
Danny goes to sleep one day closer to a mental breakdown.
Danny wakes up to Superman floating in front of his tank, in the process of restraining Aquaman from quite literally murdering the sleezeball.
