i would like to remind everyone that most disabilities come with comorbidities. what this means is that, most of the time, someone who is disabled does not have just *one* condition that causes them pain or difficulty.
for example, i have crohn's, which is an autoimmune disease primarily affecting the bowels. i also have ehlers-danlos syndrome(eds), which is a connective tissue disorder. eds can make crohn's worse because eds can affect your intestinal lining. crohn's can make eds worse because crohn's can also affect joint inflammation, so loose joints become more inflamed than they otherwise would. both can severely affect fatigue levels.
these are just two things i deal with. there are other comorbidities and complications i deal with, like fibromyalgia, dysautonomia, nerve damage, and more; but eds and crohn's are the easiest to explain how they play off each other.
i don't think abled people realize that most disabled people deal with something like this. i see disabled people online being very open about their multiple diagnoses to raise awareness and understanding - and then i see abled people shitting on them because "there's no way you can have that many things wrong with you."
but this is the truth of the situation: being disabled is almost never a straightforward, one-and-done diagnosis thing. even if it starts as one diagnosis, many people discover or develop other problems as their health changes. or even develop other issues because of medications! the intravenous medication i took for crohn's causes arthritis in a significant number of patients, and is most likely responsible for just how severe my joint inflammation gets.
so if you're abled, and you've ever seen a long diagnosis list and thought maybe someone was exaggerating - please step back and rethink. this is a very common thing. i would dare to guess that more people are multi-diagnosis than single-diagnosis. you are not helping anyone by accusing someone of faking or exaggerating, you are just being ableist.
as a disabled person, it takes immense bravery to speak openly and publicly about how our lives are affected by our disabilities, and we do not deserve to be treated poorly for being honest about our realities. your lack of knowledge or willingness to learn should not become our additional pain.
I like to interpret the Infinite Realms as what the name suggests: truly infinite. It could be the dimension that binds everything together, where everyone from every dimension and universe goes when they perish. Maybe these poor, unfortunate souls become blob ghosts, who knows?
Anyway, the Ghost King is the dude that has power over all of this. Essentially, he’s like the capital G God. Now imagine the other pantheons of gods. Greek, Indian, Egyptian, etc. The Ghost King literally rules over the gods.
When Danny defeated Pariah Dark, he became the Ghost King. It’s now his job to keep everyone under his command in line, keep them from destroying the universe. So, let’s assume the Justice League is fighting Ares (again). All of a sudden, this tiny child glowing green flickers into existence.
The Justice League is understandably concerned. How the hell is the kid flying? Where did he come from? Most importantly, why is he here? They ready themselves for battle.
Then, the child speaks.
“Ares, dude, we talked about this! You can’t try to enslave entire dimensions just because you’re bored, do you know how much paperwork you’ve caused me?!”
The Justice League is floored, even more so when Ares hangs his head and pouts like a toddler, apologizing to the strange glowing child-not-child.

“Sooo, you’re just going to trust him with your car?”
“Yeah.” Danny said in just as disbelieving of a tone as Sam. “I think he genuinely means this as like a payment for saving his butt regardless of, you know, everything.”
“I didn’t think Dash of all people could change.” Tucker chimed in
“Same!” Danny exclaimed, almost flinging his sandwich as his arms came up in emphasis.
“Oh come on, did he really change if he’s just doing this to make himself feel better? He hasn’t even apologized about anything.” Sam countered.
Sam did believe people could change for the better. Or worse even. She just didn’t think Dash made it into this category of person. She believed he was destined to peak in high school, play college football and never shut up about his glory days to his wife and 2.5 kids. To say she was still suspicious was an understatement.
“Honestly Sam,” Danny started, pointing his sandwich at her, “I don’t think I care if it means saving 500 bucks.”
“I can’t argue with that.” Tucker mumbled, having already taken Danny’s side of the whole thing but not wanting to face Sam’s irritation.
She rolled her eyes, “Just don’t expect much of him.”
“I don’t. I just expect him to fix my car.” Danny replied. With a shrug, he continued, “And worse comes to worse, if he messes up my car I can just fly or ride my bike until I save up enough to have a shop fix it.”
“Oh! By the way, Tucker” Danny said, turning to his friend. “I’m not going to be able to give you a ride tomorrow. I don’t want to drive my car right now if I can help it.”
“All good dude.” Tucker responded nonchalantly. “I don’t exactly trust your car right now either.”
“I can take you.” Sam offered.
“Yes please” Tucker accepted. He didn't love getting into a hearse-ever- but it was better than the bus.
The bell rang in the distance, signaling the end of their lunch hour. Danny took the last two bites of his meal as the trio started packing up their bags and headed in to finish out the rest of the school day

Hello!
So this is just a little extra bit for fun. Not much happens, but I felt like it was important to see Danny updating the crew, so you know that Sam and Tucker get kept in the loop (for the most part. Danny's didn't share Dash's gay bit)
Also- the hearse- I was reading a fanfic (I'll try to find it) where the author mentioned Sam drove a hearse and I latched onto that immediately. It's too perfect in my opinion
I have part 5 outlined and 3/4 of the pages paneled out, so I'm still on schedule for getting it up by around tues/wed time
Glad ya'll are still enjoying this silly idea. See ya next week

Still can’t believe the Phandom gaslit ourselves into thinking so much that is headcanon is canon.
Ghost King Danny isn’t a thing, Wes Weston doesn’t exist, Ghost Cores are debatable, Red Huntress isn’t Valerie’s ghost hunter name, Bones is not Youngblood’s parrot’s name. Etc.
It just goes to show how powerful, creative and influential one person’s idea has spread amongst the community, many times, and I love that for us.
I need a whole tv show about Jason todd
It needs to follow him in his crime lord days like from the start all the way to his confrontation with Bruce
It also needs to have flashbacks to his life before (both on the street and at the manor) in like a manic way to emphasise his madness he got from the lazerus pit. (Just imagine him beating the shit out of tim while he has flashbacks to "Robin is magic" days)
And i need it to like be cut off very abrupt when Bruce throws the batarang at his neck, like the moment the blade hits his neck all the lazerus pit madness drains from his body and there is an echo of child Jason yelling "dad" at bruce.
Followed by the explosion and then you just see Jason choking on his blood once again all alone
That's how season 1 ends with perhaps a sneak peak to season 2 where you see Talia's feet walk up to jason
And maybe you here her say "you failed again" before it cuts to black.
Ugh i need this so much (I also need the show to not cut down of the brutality of Jason's life, it's very important😌)

Something I don’t think enough people recognize when it comes to making shows more diverse, there is so much going on behind the scene that you literally can’t “just add them.”
Alex Hirsch had to wait until the end of Gravity Falls to show that Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland were in love so that way the show didn’t get prematurely cancelled. And even still, that was censored in other countries.
________
The Owl House has a bisexual afro Latina protagonist that falls in love with a white lesbian. They kiss several times on screen and say “my awesome girlfriend.” It also has Disney’s first nonbinary character (Raine Whispers), their bisexual love interest (Eda Clawthorne), and an aro/ace woman (Lilith Clawthorne). However, because like five people said that TOH wasn’t the “Disney brand” the show is prematurely cancelled. So even with everything that TOH did, it only won battle but lost the war.
________
The art crew for Encanto had to fight to make Luisa buff. And when they were finally able to make her buff, Disney didn’t make as much Luisa merchandise because they thought little girls would want Mirabel or Isabela’s since they’re more “feminine.” (I think the same thing happened with Namaari when RATLD came out but I’m not sure. So don’t quote me on that.)
*Also, Luisa out preformed. So that’s a win.
________
Bubblegum and Marceline couldn’t kiss until the series finale of Adventure Time because it would’ve been cancelled. So throughout the entire series, the crew always just had to imply undertones about their past. Since HBO produced Obsidian, they were able to kiss on screen.
________
Korra and Asami’s relationship had to tempt down so that way Nick could continue airing the show and they weren’t allowed to kiss until the comics.
________
Turning Red got so much unwarranted criticism because not only did Mei’s mom say “pads” but she showed them on screen. (I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if that made you uncomfortable, that’s a sign that we need to do this more and not less.)
________
Some countries marked She Ra as 18+ because Catra and Adora kissed on screen. (Once again, I’m not sure if this completely true but Nate Stevenson had to fight to actually show them kissing on screen instead of a fade to white.)
________
Steven Universe is the gayest show I’ve ever seen in my life which was both good and bad. It was good for obvious reasons. Example being that it was the first show that introduced to me nonbinary people in a way that wasn’t “haha, look, she uses they/them pronouns. She’s so funny and quirky.”
And it’s bad because it put a target on it’s back. SU has been censored so much that it’s honestly a miracle that we got an ending. And in most of the countries that censored SU, they usually portray Ruby as a man. So I can’t imagine how bad the censors were when the wedding happened and Ruby wore a dress and Sapphire wore a suit.
________
Also, you have to remember the outdated idea that gay/trans topics are “too mature” for kids to handle (there’s an episode of Adam Ruins Everything that talks about this). So it’s easier for shows with an older audience (like Arcane) to have queer/trans rep.
Not to mention, if you ever go on Insider’s website to look at the queer/trans characters in cartoons [here], most of the characters are revealed to be queer only online and not in the actual show.
________
All of this BS because God forbid that kids find out that other people exist.
Representation is important but please, just be aware of the actually struggles that go on that you don’t see and be thankful that this is where we are now because even though it might seem like it at times remember that this is actual progress. We need to keep pushing studios to do more. I’m sure that there’s millions of untold stories that would be made if not for this prejudice.
“save young justice!” “bring young justice back for season 5!” NO. give me a comic accurate young justice show. i want punk conner kent. i want robin breaking into government facilities and coming up with ridiculous aliases. i want bart to adopt the super cycle and annoy red tornado into reactivating. where is the tiny clone of lobo or team leader wonder girl. let me see them play baseball for the fate of the planet and illegally invade a country full of supervillains and also kill santa.
