Feels Like It Should Be Common Knowledge That You Don't Ask The Dead How They've Died Especially Considering

Feels like it should be common knowledge that you don't ask the dead how they've died especially considering the fact that in their eyes he might be from Gotham and that means a very traumatic death, also he flinches and that ain't strong enough of a hint? Wtf

DPxDC Prompt

Phantom is new to the Justice League, not much is known about him, except ONE thing.

That he's dead. A ghost.

It is pretty heartbreaking to think about, especially for heroes. But also, they can't help but be curious. How did the kid die…

Danny has to walk away the first time he's asked, he flinches the next time, the third time he has had enough. He says the first scenario that comes to mind, it works, it gets the hero to leave him alone, even if they went strangely pale.

Next several times he's asked he does the same, recites the first thing that comes to mind, a different thing every time. When the heroes go ghost white, deathly quiet or excuse themselves? well they shouldn't have asked in Danny's opinion!

What he doesn't realize is he has been reciting the heroes own near death experiences back to them, which is why each and every one of them has backed off after getting their answer.

lucifer's never gonna recover from this

Fun fact: Stella has killed more people than Rayla

Do I have proof? No

Do I have doubts? No

• Bolivia has severed diplomatic ties with Israel, citing the latter's "crimes against humanity".

• The three major trade unions in Belgium—comprising over 3 million members—announced that they will refuse to transport weapons, by plane or sea, going to the zionist entity, citing the zionist genocide in Palestine and calling out the hypocrisy of the Belgian government.

So I haven’t talked about this on main before, but the situation in South Gaza has gotten so horrifying that I’m p much throwing caution to the wind to desperately plead for eyes on this. I’m raising awareness about stories from activists in Gaza right now, including one of our own.

My lovely, wonderful friend Swin (aka tumblr user @combaticon) was deployed as a volunteer medic to a Gaza hospital on the 9th.

When the bloodshed started, she heard they needed extra hands in Gaza, she spoke Arabic and had the training, and she went.

I’ve been in contact with her throughout. She’s so incredibly brave it takes my breath away. My heart bleeds for these children she’s taking care of and how resilient they are is… astonishing.

Swin and these poor people have been under siege for so long, and they’re in desperate need of critical supplies. They have to filter water through their clothes, and it’s getting dangerously cold. Foods finally been getting through, but there’s not enough blankets and jackets to go around and there’s no fuel for the generators.

Their comrades in the West Bank have been completely pushed out by settler thugs. It’s incredibly unsafe to even be doing humanitarian work for Palestinians. Remember this the next time a Zionist tells you they’re doing this to ‘feel safe’. The IOF is arming lynch mobs.

On a personal note, this has been the most gut-wrenching week of my life. Every day when I wake up without a text from her I feel so much fear. I fight back the grief but I don’t know how to help or what to do. It’s terrifying.

Swin has asked for nothing, absolutely nothing other than something it can show the people around it to make them feel like they’re not going to be abandoned. To make sure they’re not forgotten in some pit praying Rafah opens before Israel decides to slaughter them all.

Today was a bad day. She’s alive but beyond worrying about her privacy now; she’s asked me to share this and to beg that we not lose steam and forget about them. Please share this, and please keep being fucking annoying and loud and digging your heels in with fury because we cannot let these people die silently.
