AU where Danny never tells Sam and Tucker about the portal accident but they eventually put together the pieces after Danny starts acting hella weird. Especially around his parents.

They eventually figure it out but can't seem to decide whether their friend is actually dead or if there's something else going on. They inadvertently become ghost experts while playing detective, while also simultaneously trying their best to help Danny from the shadows without him finding out that they found out.

Bonus points if they have to fend off Jazz with a stick cause she knows something's up and she knows that Sam and Tucker know but Sam and Tucker keep covering their tracks and doing their best to throw her off the scent.

Bonus, bonus points if Jazz knows that there's something very messed up going on and desperately wants to know what happened to her brother but Sam and Tucker think she's on her parent's side and are convinced that she'll just report back to them if she ever finds out.

Bonus, bonus, bonus points! if Jazz just has this deep, gut-wrenching feeling that she can't tell her parents about her suspicions and that there's something increasingly disturbing about both her parents and Danny's behaviour as well as how the three of them interact after the portal got turned on. She does her best to keep her parent's attention off of Danny, which kinda helps but also inadvertently gets in the way of Sam and Tucker's helping.

Bonus, bonus, bonus, bonus points!!!!! if Maddie and Jack have acquired some very mild ecto contamination from being in such close proximity with the portal on a daily basis and their continued exposure is making them slowly exhibit Obsession-like behaviours about their work and research, which consequentially results in their attitudes/behaviours becoming increasingly more disturbing and concerning from an outside perspective.

i can’t think about jack marston without nearly crying over just how sorry i feel for him. like, i’m sorry you were only four years old when the admittedly unstable support system you had fell apart. i’m sorry you didn’t have a real, permanent home until you were twelve, and i’m sorry you only got four years before that too was ripped away from you. i’m sorry you felt that you had to prove yourself otherwise your father would leave again like he’s done multiple times before. i’m sorry you felt so inferior you were unable to believe that your parents loved you so much and would have done anything for you. i’m sorry you had to pick up a gun and shoot at people at sixteen and kill a man for the first time at nineteen. i’m sorry you watched uncle die then watched your mother lose herself to grief over your father’s corpse, riddled with bullets in front of your home. i’m sorry you had to bury your mother only three years later. i’m sorry you lost your family and yourself and willingly threw your life away so young in the name of revenge no one wanted you to seek. i’m sorry you ended up all alone and grew up to be exactly the man your family did everything to save you from becoming. i’m so sorry jack marston.

Eidolon is honestly one of my favorite incredibly tragic tertiary characters in worm. Clearly raised his whole life getting the message that your life only has any value whatsoever if you're useful (and that he equally clearly did not meet the bar), to the point that when Cauldron found him he was about to kill himself after getting rejected by the army.

And then absolutely never outgrew that bone-deep belief, just now he has enough power to be useful - the most useful, even! And the idea of that slipping away as the booster shots grow less effective is driving him to the brink even before he learns just how far his power had gone to make him essential.

the clock is ticking down and you’re dizzy on cheap champagne , the bubbles working their way up into the arteries of your heart as they fizz and pop .

you feel light , nearly high despite the lack of substances you’ve consumed , and the party around you is thrumming . all of your friends have coupled off , of course , having boyfriends and girlfriends to ring in the new year with . and you don’t mind , really ! being single for yet another year is fine .

there’s a minute til midnight , and suddenly , a familiar arm is slung around your shoulder , the impish grin of your best friend jack staring back at you . his cheeks are flushed , rosy , his light hair a little damp with sweat yet hanging around his face like a halo .

“you found anyone?” he shouts , and your face scrunches up in confusion .

“what?”

“new years,” he clarifies , as though it’s obvious . “gotta have a kiss to ring in the new year.”

as he speaks , his eyes drop to your lips , as though it’s nothing . just tradition , obviously . and maybe it’s the alcohol , the cheap buzz clouding your mind , but your eyes drop down , too .

because really , what’s a kiss between friends ?

the silent conversation seems to last , as before you know it , the crowd around you begins to chant .

ten!

jack’s eyes are on your lips .

nine!

your eyes meet his .

eight!

an arm snakes tentatively around your waist , fingers dancing over your hip .

seven!

a furrow of brows , quick enough to be a silent question , a confirmation of what you suspect to be happening .

six!

a nod , barely there , a confirmation .

five!

a head , dropped to your height , a cheesy smile across lips that barely brush your own .

four!

you melt into jack’s hold , shaking your head in amusement at his actions , because only he would come up with a plan like this .

three!

it’s just new year’s , you tell yourself . a tradition , nothing more .

two!

but maybe not . because jack’s gaze has softened , his eyes are fond , and this doesn’t feel like one of his usual drunken whims . you know the face he gets when he’s intoxicated and looking for mischief , but this ? this is far more sincere .

one!

he’s a breath away . a gentle squeeze is delivered to your waist .

happy new year!

lips are on yours , soft yes passionate . much more than a peck , for sure . his lips work once , twice , and his tongue brushes your lower lip before he pulls away , dazed .

“happy new year, y/n,” he mumbles , almost dreamily . his eyes drop once more , another kiss delivered to your lips .

“happy new year, jack,” you return , tucking yourself into his side .

you fit . he smiles . and with the new year comes something else new .

That devil-may-care attitude. That nonchalant nap he decides to take.

Everything about the way Chase lies back and takes a nap in the Sphere of Yun is mimicing Dashi, from the arms pillowed behind his head, right down to crossing his left leg over his right in the exact same pose and position.

There are little habits Chase seemed to have learned from or at least picked up from Dashi in their time together.

Like how a few of the ways that Chase interacts with Omi are similar to the ways Dashi interacted with Omi in the brief time they got together.

Chase's playful demeanor when he's up against Omi in a match,

And some of the little bits of the way Dashi displays physical affection too.

(Though everything Chase picked up from Dashi, Chase does add his own smug flair to. Which probably makes it work even better with Omi.)

But in this case, I think Chase is emulating Dashi specifically because he's trying to be as irreverent and irritating as Chase always found Dashi at times like this. But it's also just an effective way of ending a conversation.

Chase's reaction to it back in the day was definitely something akin to Omi's.

Unfortunately for Chase, it's not as effective at getting on Jack's nerves as it is when Dashi was using it to get on Omi and Chase's nerves.

But it's cute that Chase's invoking his old friend at all here.

Vlad: Would you like to form an alliance... with me?

Ghost writer: Absolutely. Absolutely, I do.

Now, Vlad should know better than to ally himself with someone who broke the Christmas truce, buuuut. The call for DnD is so tempting that he just had to do it.

He then dragged Daniel and his friends into it as well. Daniel dragged his sister along and then the Fenton parents found out and, well.

It suddenly became a thing.

Oh well, both Vlad and Ghost Writer sculpt up some lore from each of their character sheets, weave a world from words and then drag a random number of people to act as their 'players.'

It was supposed to be people from Amity Park, but there was a miscalculation on that part, and honestly you can't even blame them because they've been weaving nonstop and Vlad ignored quite a bit of sleep to try and make this perfect as he could.

So instead of civilians they dragged in a few members of the Justice League and, well.

As long as they play by the rules nothing would hopefully go wrong...?

i will forever admire tom pye's work on gentleman jack. every look a. walker appears in is an absolute treat for the eyes and mostly period accurate afaik. the soft pastels and silhouettes and ringlets of a. walker's outfits next to a. lister's harsh lines and deep hues and top hats will never ever ever disappoint.

seward's callousness in the face of renfield begging to be let go always breaks my heart. even if he can't see that renfield is not having a delusional fit (and honestly he should have picked up on his change in affect), he could have at least have treated him with empathy and gentleness instead of in the cold, harsh manner that he does, both in thought and in deed. the others all feel sorry for renfield and also question seward's decision, but defer to him because they assume he knows best since this is his field of expertise. seward's narration of the incident however shows no pity at all. and his judgement is, of course, proven mistaken.

Seward is a good narrator for a horror story because he is relatively cold and detached compared to the other characters. But god, is he infuriating sometimes. And he is so consistently wrong. I do like how the narrative so often immediately disproves his biases. Like when he assumes upon first meeting Mina that as a woman she would be overwhelmed with fear and horror if she knew about the Count...and then of course it turns out she already knows and has taken the whole thing much better than Seward himself has. the characters and the whole story are so interesting and complex in a way the movies entirely miss.

i saw this and thought of you & dad!quinn/bug 😭

LMAOOO in my head this is exactly how i imagine jack hearing quinn call baby buggy “bug” for the first time goes and him immediately being like, “wait, wait, hold on — where the hell did that even come from?” quinn, in his usual calm-but-slightly-done tone, just says, “because she’s snug as a bug,” like it’s the most obvious thing in the world and he can’t believe jack even has to ask. but of course jack, being jack, can’t let it go, unconvinced, because what tf does that even mean????? “snug as a bug? what’s so snug about a bug? that makes no sense, dude.” and quinn just sighs, gives him that long-suffering, how am i related to you? look, and says, “because the bug is in a rug. that’s literally the saying.” and then there’s this perfect beat of silence while jack just stares at him, processing, before he goes, “…oh yeah. i forgot about the rug." 😭😭

a lot of people are annoyed by jack, especially in rdr1— and to a degree i understand that. but at the same time, he was a kid. he had every right to be a little shit and irritate people to no end doing reckless, spiteful things, because he was a child. and it breaks my heart that he loses that sometime between john’s death and when we see him again during the epilogue.

i miss when he was able to snark at his parents. i miss seeing him interact with abigail, uncle, and charles around beecher’s hope. i miss when jack could just be a kid without having the crushing weight of grief on his shoulders at all times. we get to see him start out distant with john and very slowly get closer to him multiple times, healing their relationship after everything they’ve been through, only for that to be brutally ripped away when he’s sixteen.

when we meet jack again at nineteen, he’s much more jaded. he’s angry, and aggressive, and he’s lost everything. he’s almost unrecognizable as that little boy that made a flower necklace for his momma, or read passages from his books aloud when she asked, or sat by the campfire loudly singing along with his family— and it hurts, watching him lose that innocence and the ability to just be a kid along the way. he was so young, and he didn’t deserve any of that.
