Wing Tier List - Primarch Version

So, because my partners encouraged me to write this and there seems to be a few mutuals who are interested, I’ve compiled my Wing Tier List for the Primarchs. This is inspired by this post about an exchange between Jaghatai Khan and Mortarion shortly after Mortarion ascended to be a Daemon Primarch. I am in no way an expert in 40k tabletop rules or lore - these rulings were made mostly off of Vibes with a dash of the lore that I know - or of wings on fictional characters. I’m just someone who has spent way too much time thinking about this.

I should also mention that, while it is impossible for me to be Normal about liking Sanguinius, this did not influence the actual rankings.

(I’m going to try to use official art as best I can.)

So, let’s get to it!

Contender: Sanguinius of the Blood Angels

Because to start off with anyone else would be heresy. His wings are so well-known that he carries the nickname “the Angel” among his brothers as well as the other Legions. Jokingly and lovingly called Hawk-Boy by fandom. Commonly-known in canon as one of the two most prettiest primarchs. Wings so significant that when I went to google “which primarchs have wings” to make sure I wasn’t missing someone Obvious, I got this:

Yeah, I didn’t even say Sanguinius in my search, but Google just Knew. (And also, thank you so much to @plagueplanethq for helping me fact-check how many Primarchs actually have wings.)

Anyways. Sanguinius is first to be evaluated because he’s the OG winged-primarch. He’s also happens to be the only Loyalist on this list.

Analysis: When setting out to do the look for Sanguinius, the original artists leaned in super hard to the “Angel” keyword and not so much the “vampire” part. If you showed me a picture of Sanguinius before I was into 40k and asked me what he is, I would have never guessed “vampire.” I have seen these sorts of wings hundreds of times. Are they nicely done? Oh definitely. Does he make it look good? Absolutely. How unique is it? ...not really? He’s an angel, and has white wings. The artists understood the assignment and did a great job, but this isn’t exactly new:

7 / 10

Contender: Angron of the World Eaters

Analysis: When a dude has a nickname like “the Red Angel,” well, of course he’ll eventually get wings. I was a little worried at first that this was going to be too much “traditional demon or devil” wings, but I do like some of the detail on the model! Doing skin and/or scales for the wings also feels more practical for someone pledged to Khorne, because it feels like a chance of less maintenance than if feathers get all messy. (IRL birds will go take baths and such when they need it, but is Angron going to bother? That’s up for debate.) The spikes are very nice, and the few holes in the wings add some personality. It’s also a good reminder that they’re flying because magic and because the Warp laughs in the face of science. Consider me pleasantly surprised:

7 / 10

Contender: Magnus the Red of the Thousand Sons

Analysis: Feathers make sense for the guy pledged to a god who has birb motifs going on. I really appreciate the fact that these feathers are distinct, and have a bit of character. Also, honorable mention to hexygoblin‘s paint job here, which is stunning. He’s definitely got the best feathers on wings. I also feel like Tzeentch would appreciate a bit of style:

8 / 10

Contender: Fulgrim of the Emperor’s Children

Analysis: It is truly a shame that we don’t have a more current model for Daemon Primarch Fulgrim. I am forced to go off of the vibe of the model and that first image of him screaming to try to make a wing assessment. This looks fairly standard for what one might think of demons or devils, and I gotta say, I’m not impressed? The second drawing suggests feathers, which would make sense for the Phoenix. Mostly, I would expect the primarch who pledged themself to the Lord of Excess to be more... excessive? I’ve seen some cool fanart for different wing interpretations for Fulgrim, but I’m trying to go off of ‘canon’ as much as I can here:

5 / 10

(I will have to reassess one day when he gets a new Daemon Primarch model. Maybe we don'thave one yet because it isn't perfect.)

Contender: Mortarion of the Death Guard

Analysis: I’m definitely getting moth vibes from the way the wings are done on the model. This model was also designed a bit more naturally to look like he’s flying. Artist took the prompt of “decay, so probably flies” and gave him flies on the model, which means bonus wings. But this isn’t a “how many wings” contest, this is for “coolest wings.” (Mortarion would win for sheer quantity of wings because of all of the flies.) There’s no way he’s flying with those wings without Warp Shenanigans. I feel like these are the most unique out of all of them. The paint job and also how the wings looks like they’re trying to be tatters also suggests the futile fight against entropy, which is the Lord of Decay’s bag:

9 / 10

Honorable mention (since he’s not a primarch) is Vashtorr, because I wanted a 10 / 10 on this list:

Coolest wings, for sure. Should they be able to fly? Absolutely not. But Chaos Gods don’t care what you think is logical.

10 / 10

*drumroll* WINNER OF THE [PRIMARCH] TIER LIST IS...........

MORTARION!

#sanguinius #angron #magnus the red #fulgrim #mortarion #primarch #40k shitposting #please do not take this seriously #also Daemon Primarch Fulgrim model WHEN???#i saw so many kitbashes when trying to google primarchs with wings

Your work gives me the purest and sincerest form of serotonin that directly reaches my mind, and I genuinely, desperately wish to consume the masterpieces you post upon this humble web forum we mortals refer to as "fanart", when we all are well aware it is beyond such foolish levels./Silly

No, but fr, I fucking love your art, man; it makes me giggle, kick my feet and twirl my hair everytime appears on my dash, and I look forward to it so badly. I'd actually kill to see a Frankenstein web comic or something in this style. :]

Holy fuck dude thank you soso much this is unbelievably sweet

If you are still doing the fandom asks:

6. something you see in art a lot and love

and/or

16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

Hi Silver, oh I am thank you! You made my day with these ones! :D

6. Phewww, basically what makes me reblog a piece of fanart? If an expression is true to the character. GREAT LIGHTING. Abstract use of color and texture, lately. Creative outfits. Lighting. If you want the short answer, it'll always be great lighting, I think.

For what I'd call "expressive clarity", my favorite artworks on Tumblr have always been by @/itistimetodisappear, @/monoflaxart, @/dreamsoffools, and @/jackthevulture. They all did lots of Httyd art back in the day, even though each of them has moved on from it now and it would be hard to track down anything of their work if one is not willing to do a deep dive into their archives or whatever.

For the background grunge that I so crave more of, I've been paying attention to @/alouavic and @/yusufart. @/snekky-arts too, but you know that one ;)

As for motives that I love seeing...dragons? Any flying creatures? Well made, fleshed out character designs? Architecture? Dunno, could be anything - if it's my style, I'll put it on my blog! Sorry, that was an unnecessarily long answer now, but I kind of found it a hard question!

16. A detail in the Httyd canon that I appreciate A LOT are just Hiccup's outfits!!! They are BORING!!! (Mainly talking about 1 and 3 here) I LOVE THEM SO MUCH YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW they are not hyper-overdone, they look functional, comfortable, appropriate, and they put the focus on Hiccup's character rather than his appearance. My dude is wearing simple greens and browns. What. And I didn't like his Httyd2 outfit, but it was clever and looked absolutely silly on him. It was so so cool but at the same time, you know, nothing to brag about, like a swimming champion in a speedo and goggles. It makes him amazing at what he does, but it's not conventionally attractive, if you get the gist??? It's fantastic.

A detail in Tales of Arcadia that I love is the way shadow magic works and the way Claire manages to master it. It's generally a less trafficked road to go, an introvert's realm if you like, away from the noise of changelings invading schools and the like, ...so she gets to experiment with it and makes it hers. Nice.

A detail in Narnia that I love is the sea of lilies that the party encounters at the end of the world in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

And a very neat detail in Trigun Stampede is the way Vash's glasses reflect light, sometimes obscuring his eyes or suddenly making them visible, which is an AWESOME feature to make the viewer guess his thoughts. You should give it a watch, maybe only the first episode! I wouldn't know if you like it, but there's a certain tenderness about Vash that you might appreciate as well :)

Sorry, my answers to this ask are a little all over the place. It's very late and I should go to bed lol, also life is lifing and I can't forget to put the snails into my fish tank before I turn off the light--

Lots of love to you, friend, it's nice seeing you on my dash! <3 Been missing you!

Reddie

Taking a moment out of my study time to share some ways to help u feel more comfortable an confident when drawing characters :>

1. Try drawing characters from memory: no one wants to draw a character wrong, but sometimes you gotta see what parts of their design really stick with you and which ones kinda fade away. When u always check a reference you may subconsciously just redo the same thing over and over, and that can make every drawing just seem like a copy paste of the original. I promise no one is going to kill you for forgetting a detail or 10 lol so just wing it every once in a while

2. Try drawing at a different size than what you normally do: something I found can help is drawing either bigger or smaller than your normal drawing size. Having to compress or enlarge proportions can actually be very enlightening as to how you draw specific things (when I draw smaller I tend to make facial features bigger, and I do the opposite when I draw bigger). You may even find that you actually LIKE drawing at a different size, so it’s good to try at least once lol

3. Purposely make characters with traits or body types you need practice drawing: speaking from experience here when I say that nothing makes you wanna better yourself more than a guy you love but can’t draw lmfao. This also goes for things you don’t even necessarily LIKE drawing. Give characters what some deem as “ugly” features, it’s actually the best thing ever and I love it and I will fight someone over it (crooked teeth and overbites and big ears and fat all over and body hair and fucked up hairlines I am kissing it all with my mouth)

4. Draw existing characters/others characters: am I telling you to make fanart? Yes. Draw that character from your childhood cartoon, draw the dude from the comic you like, draw that pretty handsome lady oc you saw cross your dash. Even if you end up not sharing it, the practice with drawing something NOT from your own brain actually helps quite a lot with figuring things out that ARE in your brain

5. Just get fucky with it: ok so pretty much, just go ham. Draw fast and loose, draw rigid and dark. Try different line weights, make em scratchy, make em clean. Just try every possible thing you can (maybe not all at once, or do. That’s fun too LMAO) and hold nothing back. Try something you have NO practice in at all just to see how it goes. Try to add shading, try making everything flat, try adding color, try adding different filters. Worst case scenario you don’t like how it looks, best case scenario you LOVE it. I know this point is kinda vague or whatever, but really doing just whatever without rules is so fun! I didn’t like making digital color things until I fucked around and did smth I liked, and now I color things a lot more. Really truly, just try things!!

#random post #that’s all I got lol this is stuff I use sometimes and I found it helps :>#ESPECIALLY if you aren’t trying to spend hours of your day drawing figure study 1237272. and figure studies are helpful don’t get me wrong #but some ppl view that sort of thing as more of a chore than smth fun. so this is my way of having an enjoyable experience #while still getting practice in!!!

your works have me curious, what else do ya headcanon for our boy victor? :o (and other chars too! i'm just esp interested in how you filled out his blank slate)

Ohh this is a good one. Since I only played Sword for the first time starting in January, I'm still very much in my formative phase for headcanons and stuff. For most of the characters I can't even say I consciously headcanoned yet, even with all my thinking about everyone and saying "the whole of swsh is my blorbo" (admittedly with most of my focus on Victor and Hop because they're my number one favourites and OTP lol so there are definitely also ship headcanons in here, hope you don't mind! ^^"). I'll put it under a readmore since it kinda got a bit long ^^"

So here's my personal "fixed"/"core" headcanons for Victor when it comes to my own stuff:

he's transmasc and gay (this one was probably obvious since I've made on-text trans references in all but like, two fanfics haha)

he's the one who becomes Champion and is chosen by Zacian

Corviknight, Sylveon, Obstagoon and Toxtricity (evolved from the babby Toxel you get as a gift at the daycare) on the team

Fairy type association

He and Hop won the inaugural Galarian Star Tournament together and are the dream team everyone wants to battle but knows will be tough to beat (Hop calling them "Postwick dream team" is a canon thing, so!)

a short king

Now for personality and other random things? I'm open for so many things lol I did start out (even before I played) with the timid/soft-spoken/shy headcanon and I'm still so very fond of him being timid initially (and that's why Sobble as a starter + the Isle of Armor Kubfu are a perfect fit lol) — whether it's only when he's younger or still at the start of the game but growing confident once he gets his starter from Leon and finds he's pretty good at battling (the fact that he got it as a gift from Leon aka the Champion he admires + big bro of his best friend when Leon met him for the first time combined with Leon just being such a sweet and encouraging dude probably helped with that)

But yeah I'm open for many other headcanons/portrayals in that regard lol cool and confident? bless all the fanart. Easily flustered? sweet. On the oblivious side? heck yes. Sunshine boy? Absolutely, he is a whole sunshine boy 10000000000000%! Just give me all the positive Victor content and I'll probably soak it up happily and cry and have it fuel me lmao thank you for my life.

As for his starter, god I simply cannot decide. I picked Grookey in my game (I really wanted Sobble but joked I was obligated to pick Scorbunny because I like football and then GMax Rillaboom came and said "hi" lol) but as mentioned above I'm so fond of Victor with Sobble. But Scorbunny is also a perfect fit so I've just been rotating around for a bit between my fics (though I think I've yet to actually write him with Scorbunny???). Maybe one of these days I can make up my mind for both him and Hop which starter they choose ^^" in any case: I also live for the whole "they gift each other eggs of their starters and some of their 'mons are partners" thing so there's that (in fact it might've been easy to guess that in my world of things their Corviknight are a partners for sure)

Speaking of Hop, it's my headcanon that Victor has a crush on him pretty much since they're kids/since they first met, and is very much aware of it being a crush that just never leaves and his feelings grow stronger as they grow up. Meanwhile Hop also has a crush all along but is a bit oblivious about how to interpret his own feelings until along on the main story (Leon, meanwhile, guesses pretty easily that his little bro has a giant crush on that friend he keeps talking about all the time and lightly teases him for it, cue denial lol). So much potential for both fluff and a dash of angst... mmmm. By the post-credits story lines Hop definitely had that "Oh." moment and then is even more loud about his crush.

Based on me associating Victor with the fairy type, I have the silly little headcanon that at first he just thinks Bede is kinda funny, then it gets personal when Bede very largely contributes to Hop's mid-story crisis, and then Opal rejects him as a successor candidate only to later scout/adopt Bede in front of him. Cue him solo-ing battles against him with just his Corviknight (ok I admit this last part is also based on how it goes in my game lmao Bede is far too easy to beat... both as an opponent and if I team up with him)

Recently I've really been into the idea that Victor is asked to take over the Flying type Gym a couple of years after becoming Champion and then he's both Champion and also becomes strongest ranked Gym Leader (this is me guessing that since Gym Leaders can win the Championship, it's possible to be a parallel thing/Champions in general have a side thing they're doing rather than just being fulltime Champ, idk lol also, he totally beats Mustard's record for a reigning streak). His ace as a Gym Leader is Corviknight! (because what else would you expect from me, I adore Corviknight hahaha)

Now for "where's his family from" I am not sure if I have a "proper" headcanon yet. I've seen the headcanon that the protagonist's family is from Sinnoh and I like that hc, so I adopted that for the meet-cute drabble I wrote earlier this week but with a spin where I kinda combined it with some inspo from Elio|Selene (i.e. Dad's still working in Sinnoh/often away for work + combined with the headcanon I've seen for Elio|Selene's mom that she does have an Alolan background. unrelated sidenote, I'm really fond of the Alola protags' mom lol she's sweet). So basically like with all these other things I'm just having fun playing around with different possibilities at this point!

I'm also so very fond of flower boi Victor and it's one of my headcanons that he loves exploring and really loved the Crown Tundra adventures (and didn't mind that Sonia asked him to do all the work finding the Swords of Justice + was happy about the praise). He really enjoys tagging along with Hop and/or Sonia for fieldwork, and the two make it a habit to invite him along since they value his input and also want to make sure he gets breaks to destress from everything that comes along with being the reigning Champion, especially as the one who caught Eternatus + gained the title when he beat Leon. Especially Hop invites him along since that also doubles as more time together when they're both often busy with their career paths. Also on that note, Leon and Sonia being Victor and Hop's mentor figures just makes me so soft 🥺 the Leon being Victor's mentor doubly so with the headcanon that Leon is transmasc too (which unlike transmasc Victor I can't say is a "fixed" hc yet but I'm very fond of the idea)

(also, while I'm now all on the "Victor is a total career Champ/Gym Leader and thriving" train at this point, I still live for the type of angst where he gets a little bit of selfdoubt crisis — in the early years somewhat more subtle and like a case of stagefright like in my drabble "Believe", then a bit more into the future it's like "oh god what do I even do when I inevitably lose the Championship, can I even continue as a Gym Leader if I lose my title, this is kind of all I have going for me what do I do" but he gets through it since he has such a supportive network of loved ones and friends. Also another tangent here, I also love the idea of Victor as a (part-time) model so lol he definitely has a lot more than just a fulltime battle career)

He likes hanging out in Spikemuth with Marnie, Piers, and Team Yell, and especially Obstagoon and Toxtricity really have fun when they do. On a related note, I like the idea that Team Yell kind of become Victor stans too because Marnie thinks highly of him, so they cheer for him together with her (whenever she's not the one battling him in a match, obviously lol)

I've already rambled so much about various aspects I could think of ahaha so now since I've already talked about Hop + this is a trainshipping zone, I'll add some of my "core" headcanons for him!

is gay (or not clearly labeled but definitely likes boys. this is coming from someone who's very "???" about labels re: my own orientation but definitely is a boy-liker lol so please excuse the bit of vaguess here despite listing it in my core hcs hahaha)

chosen by Zamazenta (easy to guess when Vic is chosen by Zacian)

he's so supportive of Victor's transition, regardless of whether or not Leon is also trans, but it's a bonus when he already grew up with a trans big bro and then his best friend/crush is trans too and that's his two most favourite people in the world so of course he'll do anything to be supportive

fighting type association

he grows tall like Leon

He'd often ramble to Victor about what he's studying and Victor is always happy to listen and loves when he's so excited, so it basically turns into Victor helping him study. Also, they both make sure the other gets enough rest and destresses, already through their teens but especially when they're both grown up and Victor is still Champion (+ a Gym Leader) while Hop is now a fully fledged Professor. Even way into the future it remains a Thing that Hop excitedly rambles about his research or rants when he's stuck on something, and Victor is happy to listen and try to help him get unstuck (and Hop gives him a big smooch in thanks even if all Vic did was just listen and ask questions to hear more).

Most random thing but I so love the idea of either (or both) of them having freckles and same for glasses... bless all the fanarts with glasses for either of them. And while I also love fanart of Prof Hop wearing a more formal look, it's my wholehearted believe that he'll still wear the signature trackies look just with a labcoat now (and — you guessed it — Vic hogs his jackets. Nevermind that he has all the hoodies and fancy jackets and everything, the boyfriend jacket is so much comfier than anything else).

And I'm going to end this looooong ramble to mention that I've been developing fankids for them too! I already talked about them over on twitter and I'll probably talk about them here eventually too haha

Thank you so much for sending this ask, I was "!!!" when I saw it last night and couldn't help myself from rambling on forever lol. I kept the focus exclusively on Victor featuring Hop & them as a couple since they're my main focus so I have a lot more concrete thoughts about them than for any of the other characters (or ships bc I don't quite actively have side ships). But maybe I'll talk a little about others at another opportunity haha.

#frillishtxt #boyfrillish writing tag #hopvic #I still dunno how to tag headcanons/scenarios and stuff so my apologies to anyone who might look at my writing tag for my fics in one place #only to also find multiple more rambly posts like this without proper eloquence/isn't fanfic adgsddgsdg maybe another time I figure sth out #and filing under hopvic since there's ship headcanons here too bc them being in love & happy together is a very fixed core for me lolol #thank you so much again!! I really appreciate your comments and the asks you've sent so far. thank you for the opportunity to ramble lol #also thank you for dealing with the various sidenotes/tangents up there hahaha good old adhd/neurodivergent brain #and again hope you don't mind that there's a lot of ship headcanons here ^^" got way too excited and sat on this for like 2+ hours

ranting about the dragon prince under cut (and by ranting i mean. criticizing it)

Season 5 of the dragon prince comes out soon. and I'm gonna watch it, bc I'm genuinely interested in the story and (some) of the characters but Bro.

This show could have been SOOOO GOOD and in my opinion it is just so. so held back by all these weird avoidable flaws

like, the extremely childish humor. like bad

the weird writing, the odd pacing, the strange focus on humor bits that aren't funny and literally take away precious time from the VERY INTRICATE PLOT THEYRE TRYING TO TELL BUT NO LOOK AT THESE PASTRIES GETTING ON PEOPLE'S FACES HEHEHE FART JOKE AS WELL

and the conflicts are Extremely Obvious and on the nose. like that episode between the sun elves and the human camp

I know this show is inspired by avatar but that's like the perfect example of how to make a show for kids that isn't excessively Childish. they've made like 4 kinda tryhard avatar references so LEARN FROM THE SHOW U KEEP TALKING ABT BRO 😭😭

now that I think about it the entirety of the dragon prince feels like of all of atla was under the same writing vibes as the great divide episode. like epic plot, epic characters (aaravos, the dragons, rayla and the moonshadow elves, viren, ezran as a child king!) But then they have the most threatening character in the entire show do shit like nose booping for a funny haha. but it's so cringe

or when they made that weird joke about claudia loving the smell of her boyfriends farts bc they smell like petrichor?? HELLO????

I could also mention the elephant in the room of how aaron eehasz got allegations for having a semi-abusive work environment (especially towards women) during like seasons 1 and 2 I think?? Idk where that went cause its been such a long time and I don't follow anything about the show aside from watching it

And this is less of a thing about the actual show but. The Fandom. Is so.

I feel bad saying this cause they aren't even problematic necessarily its just very weird and annoying and kinda. Kinda dumb

I see so many tdp posts on my dash just from following the tag of people obsessing over rayla and callum like its the deepest het ship in existence when its two teenagers who have known each other for like a year and have very basic chemistry

and it follows the same weird Fandom phenomenon that royai does where you have a perfectly healthy and equal het ship and the fandom takes it and goes OOOH LETS PUT GENDER ROLES ON IT AND CALL IT CUTE <333

also people commenting about how deep the show is when it's really?? Not?? They paint it with flowery language and dramatics in these pretentious tumblr posts about the show and then it's really not that at all? like don't get me wrong the world building is obviously intricate and you can tell they went full in and had fun with it (behind the scenes) but how much of it really made it into the show. and also...worldbuilding =/= emotional depth.

there ARE really good moments and the coin thing with raylas family is cool and so it claudia's journey but even some of these are cut down by the random shitty humor that's always ruining everything including tense scenes, moods, and screentime

also the other day someone posted an AI generated image of a dude who barely looked like callum with actual random circles on his face from AI distortion, tagged it, paraded it off as fanart, and there were like FORTY PEOPLE IN THE NOTES SAYING LIKE "great fanart :3" "love the idea!" "nice art!" And I commented that it was AI and they blocked me like YOU GUYS ARE SO....STUPID

kay im done sorry

#microphone effect #not tagging this cause no need to just complain about it in the tag lmao. this is just my personal opinion But I Stand By It

wait a fucking second. chuuya is the long haired dude i keep mistaking for akechi whenever he's on my dash? this man is just begging to be my new blorbo..

i mean he IS long haired but i find it weird you'd mistake him for akechi 🤔 he's just very brightly colored (in the anime at least, red haired and blue eyed) and normally wears a hat so visually there's not much in common there except maybe fanart of his younger self. i find it more likely you mixed dazai up with akechi maybe?? (similar hair style, both wear beige, use guns sometimes?)

either way i think both have blorbo potential for you 👀👀👀

#I'm really curious to know if there are particular chuuya posts where he looks like akechi send them my way if you run into it 👀#or like tell me what post triggered this ask hehe #update: i think i know what post you meant and yep that's young chuuya so this might explain it

//the same people who have ‘William Aft*n stans dni’ in their bios are the same people who had crushes on an SCP or Creepypasta character growing up so like, ignore them and their really strange obsession with keeping a fandom high horse, they’re party poopers and you’re doing nothing wrong by liking a fictional villain. if we really canceled people for that, entertainment and media would be a lot different than it is. you’re not wrong for liking a fictional villain. don’t let your favorite tumblr blogs or artists make you think otherwise.

#ixi-mun #ooc #//your morals aren’t messed up #//you’re not ‘ignoring toxicity’#//it’s Nothing More than a character on the internet #//the early days of fnaf would have been SO much different if it were as bad as people make it seem #//the same people who made Vincent fanart off of anime bases are the same people shaming you for liking William so like....... just have fun #//and if you disagree: please Actually think about it and learn to grow #//either do that or Grow Up. it’s not that deep #//put all that negative energy into something else #//I’ve seen like 8 William shaming posts on my dash and the responses to people saying ‘so?’ are So Sad.#//like dude get over yourself #//you got big off of Scott’s creation not even yours #//you don’t get to dictate what people like just cause he’s the bad guy #//yeah I am pressed about this cause it’s dumb as hell

i’ve been thinking about this fanart lately

The kids of Casper High knew that not all ghosts were evil. Well, most of them. A few of the students were slow on the uptake, or just too stubborn to admit that Phantom did good for the town. The most notorious defender of the Fentons’ school of thought was Valerie Gray, who vehemently protested Phantom’s praise. Another was Wes Weston, who insisted that Phantom was deceiving them all, that he was really just the Fentons’ son fishing for attention. And then the Fentons’ son, Danny, well he agreed with his parents through and through. Many had tried to change his mind, but he stayed firm with his parents’ beliefs.

“I was thinking,” Paulina posed in English class one morning, “our class should put together a memorial or appreciation event for Phantom! He’s done so much for the town and for us.”

“Yeah, that makes total sense! He never gets the appreciation he deserves!” Dash agreed.

Paulina stood from her desk. “So, if we do this, we’re all down to make it happen, right?”

Around the room, there were affirmations of agreement. Sam Manson and Tucker Foley beamed from ear to ear, and even Lancer nodded his head in agreement.

Danny Fenton scoffed. “And what does a thing like that deserve?”

Paulina’s smile wavered. “He puts his life on the line for us, every day. I’d say that warrants some recognition. Even if you don’t think he’s sentient or has feelings, doesn’t mean we don’t.”

“Well, you’re wrong.” Danny glared. “It’s just an unfeeling remnant of what was once human consciousness, slave to the whims of its obsession. If any of you cared to pick up a book or look at my parents’ research, you’d know that.”

“Well, maybe we don’t need to read to know that Phantom’s a good guy, Fenturd!” Dash snapped. “His actions tell us all we need to know, even if he does have an obsession.”

“Phantom’s a hero!” Kwan agreed.

The rest of the class chimed in agreement.

“Ugh, whatever.” Danny trained his eyes on his desk. “Just don’t get your hopes up if he doesn’t show.”

“Hmph. I’m sure he will,” Paulina dismissed. “Now, I was thinking we could hold the memorial at the park—“

Kwan found Danny Fenton staring at his reflection in the restroom. All the lights were off, and the only light in the room was from the narrow window near the ceiling. Even when Kwan moved from one side of the room to the other, Danny didn’t move.

It was strange, to say the least.

“Hey, Fenton,” Kwan said. “You good there?”

Danny broke from his stupor.

“Kwan?”

“Yeah, man. You were just staring off into space there.”

Fenton blinked. “Ah. I was just thinking.” He reached down to grab his bag. “See ya.”

Kwan surprised himself by placing his hand on Danny’s shoulder. “Wait.”

Danny turned his eyes to Kwan’s and he felt his insides freeze. In the dim light of the restroom, Danny’s eyes had almost appeared green for a moment. It must have been a trick of the light because when Kwan looked again they’d returned back to their dull blue.

“I was wondering,” he started, “why you put so much faith in your parents’ research when you’ve seen Phantom’s good deeds, just like all of us. You were there when we took back that ghost ship trapping our parents, you must have seen Phantom! Isn’t that enough?”

“What I saw then, was a ghost,” Danny said coldly. “Unlike the rest of you, I know what ghosts are. I’m not so keen to forget because some ghosts have charisma, or whatever you think Phantom has.”

“We don’t trust him because of his charisma, we trust him because he’s a good dude! He saves people."

“So? Maybe he saves people, but that doesn’t change the truth. Phantom isn’t what you think he is.” Danny threw his backpack over his shoulder and moved to leave. The sudden motion made the hairs on Kwan’s arm stand on end. “He’s a monster.”

The bathroom door shut with a resounding slam.
