Thinking about a version of Danny who actually has the good sense to hide his identity. He has an astronaut helmet with stars reflected on the screen and a spirit box on his hip that acts as a kind of voice modulator; he only goes by Phantom rather than Danny Phantom and he actually puts some effort into lying.
#danny phantom#a spirit box is a small device that flips rapidly through radio frequencies to help contact ghosts#the sound is rather unique#Danny has a kind of ghostly aura similar to a fey glamor which keeps people from looking at him too closely#basically it's just easier not to question him and unless you set out to do so with some intention#the stronger he gets the harder it gets to investigate him#even his lying gets harder to detect#even if he isn't all that convincing

love the idea that stan, pre-realisation, would just put any “my brother-“ thoughts that popped up into the ‘shermie’ category into his head
my brother… the genius … always won the spelling bee… we were so close… i learnt to fight because i was uh. protecting my…. (much??) older brother? damn was he a wimp or something
stan, calling shermie up post everything: do you happen to remember like. a flying dinosaur from our childhood or is this another ‘wrong brother’ situation
shermie, who was very much not there: what.
aksdjfhsd yeah!! also I imagine there being a ton of angst potential because Stan remembers ("remembers" my ass, he doesn't remember shit) himself and Shermie as being fairly close as kids, because everything involving "my brother" is conflated with Shermie, until the Mystery Incident got him kicked out. But Shermie wasn't super close with either of his brothers because of the age difference, and also because I hc him as not being home very often and getting the hell outta dodge as soon as he was old enough. So poor Stan has an imagined closer brotherly dynamic with Shermie, who isn't maintaining this dynamic into adulthood because to him Stan is his younger brother who dropped off the face of the earth (sad) at age 17, popped up a few times in newspapers to get arrested and/or scam people, and then dropped off the face of the earth again at 27.
#i should make an ask tag#stan (singular) au#stan: i wonder why shermie never tried to contact me in those ten years i was wandering around homeless#shermie: oh god yeah i forget i have brothers sometimes lol. lets not think about that too hard#SHERMIE ALSO HAS ISSUES TRUTHER#i hc that he joined the army as soon as he turned 18#went to war. got fucked up. possibly got injured. came home. got a girl pregnant. girl left him. has to raise baby alone.#got a tiny bit of support from parents (somewhere in here his brother got kicked out???? busy dealing with ptsd+injury+newborn). left for#left for california as soon as he had the money to do so#didn't look back for Years#dad died. went to funeral. continued raising son. occasionally called the brother who did not get kicked out of the house. brother visited#him and his kid a few times until said brother went off the deep end and started accusing everyone of being a demon before going radio sile#for like 30 fucking years#eventually gave up trying to connect with brother because good lord this family is fucked up#has not thought about stan other than 'man i hope he's doing alright because god knows none of the rest of US are'#uh. anyways#im a little incoherent from that hiking trip i was talking about

sorry if idk this but what do you think about Wordgirl now in 2024 do you still like it do you still want to make art or talk about it or are you just done with all of it forever and plus i seen that you haven't made art of it since 2022 so you just done with all of it oh yeah and what about The Magnus Archives + Wordgirl ao3 fic too like is that just going to be and i know that your working on 2 au's now just wanting to know that's all
My interests tend to come in intense bursts and then fade. Unless something like, big happens like it gets a reboot its unlikely I'll be coming back to it anytime soon. As for the fic I don't have any current plans to finish it unfortunately.
#Its so shocking whenever anybody mentions that fic to me#like its just such a specific combo of interests how are there this many people interested in it...#I have some fragments of unfinished chapters for it laying around but I was struggling to get them to work#and I definitely dont have the motivation to finish them now#If youre curious the chapters were going to be Slaughter avatar miss Power and Web avatar Mr Big#and possibly Flesh avatar Butcher but I never got around to starting that one#The Miss Power chapter was basically going to be about her having kind of lost her thread#I wanted to leave a lot of ambiguity as to what happened with her home planet#but she hadnt been in contact with them for agessssss and her radio is damaged and her ship is in bad shape#the chapter was just going to be her being like 'pfff I dont interpersonal connection Im doing great out here. Murdering. All on my own'#Well she has her little squirl thing but she treats him like an animal#mr giggle cheeks or whatever#anyway I wanted it to imply that whatever happened her bloodthirst was destroying her#The Mr Big chapter was from Lesley's perspective#She would have been one in a long long line of assistants that Mr Big went through like candy#Lesley is his favorite though because. while she is terrified of him. shes still willing to push him. to be honest with him#but she also knows exactly when to step off. when to lie to appease him#( its always a tossup as to whether he wants a sweet lie or the harsh truth that day. He can always tell either way#its a gamble he does to be cruel. She always picks right though. or maybe he's more lenient with her than he should be)#He likes that she knows exactly how to push him without ever stepping over the line#He likes that her guilt and revulsion are slowly eating her up inside but shes too selfish to leave#She likes being special. She likes the idea of ruling the world alongside him#She'll always be second in command but shell be so much higher than everyone else#and shes willing to do anything to get that#Mr big doesnt think shell ever make it that far#but he likes her anyway#shes the one assistant he'll be sad about dying#OK damn apparently I did still have things to say about this old fic DAMN#still not gonna finish it tho. they call me the struggler becaus.e writing is a struggle...

aye can i get a fuckin uuuhhhh
break. on my burger
#shit chat#family cw#got sicker than i have been in years my bank closed my checking account on accident work is nightmarishly busy#and my mother is sending strings of long voice memos in the family group chat again#i simply will not be listening to them. at most i'll ask my dad or brother for the sparknotes version#bc her pattern for the better part of this year has been radio silence. no attempt at communication whatsoever#and then BAM like 5-10 min worth of voice memos screaming crying sobbing shaking#I DON'T KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET MY CHILDREN TO FORGIVE ME. I'M CRAWLING ON MY KNEES ON THE DESERT FOR A HUNDRED YEARS REPENTING#WHAT THE FUCK IS FAMILY FOR YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING AND I'M SUFFERING SO MUCH AND I'M ALONE BECAUSE#MY FAMILY ABANDONED ME. I HAVE NO ONE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID BUT I'M BEGGING. I NEED HELP I NEED MY KIDDOS AROUND ME PLEASE I'M DYING#followed by several minutes of sordid updates on her shitty miserable life#which is tbf pretty shitty & miserable. she's extremely physically disabled & mentally ill#her partner had a severe stroke a couple months ago and is still recovering. they've both been in & out of hospital#neither working. partner's adult son who lives with them is the only income in the household#partner's permanently disabled mother also lives with them. plus 2 large dogs 6 cats and 3 each of chickens & ducks#they're in court suing their landlord bc he's trying to evict them but the property is an uninhabitable shithole to begin with#but like. whenever i do make the mistake of responding to one of her groupchat tantrums#she's just like 'oh you know me im a survivor :) i just miss yous is all :) now that you're here i'm gonna bitch about my life for an hour#and ignore everything you have to say and show active disdain & boredom whenever you tell me anything about yourself or your life :)'#and if i offer help she refuses it#like it's just a bid for attention. expecting unconditional love and absolution and salvation from us bc That's What Families Do#she doesn't actually seem to give a shit about any of us as real people. just this ironclad delusion of unconditional family support#that she frankly has not earned#my brother actually did go visit her in the hospital on thanksgiving. driving 2hrs out of his way to do so#and she was a raging passive aggressive bitch to him and threw the gift he'd brought her back in his face#ma'am i know you're Going Through It but so are the rest of us & frankly you've given me zero reason to want to interact w/ ur caustic ass#plus this is petty but yet another way in which she doesn't listen to me & makes no attempt whatsoever at genuine relationship#i've told her numerous times that responding to groupchat voice memos is hard for me. that i love & miss her#and if she wants to see me or needs help or whatever to please contact me one on one either by call or text#nope. refuses to respond to/initiate individual contact. ONLY traumadumping in the fam chat. TLDR MY MOM IS A DISFUNCTIONAL TOXIC NIGHTMARE.

Qualia sisters designs GO (ft shitty mockups of their donut designs)
#i wanted to do more with the comic thingie but i soooo eepyyyy#adhoc labs#fandroid#melody qualia#harmony qualia#rhythm qualia#treble qualia#i randomly started thinking about them and now i need to develop all of them and their relationships#harmony is the eldest and falls into the trap of becoming really overprotective and overbearing#especially after humanity collapsed or whatever the fuck happened in the timeskip#she knows melody had been sneaking off to adhoc for a while and was NOT happy about it#but melody is a slippery one and kept sneaking out anyway#after or sometime during the timeskip she started to spend more and more time at adhoc waiting for fandroid to wake up#harmony couldn't leave qualia because. shes the eldest. she's got rhythm and treble to watch after her.#harmony argues with beepo to let her call through adhoc for a while before he lets her#and melody isnt happy about this (on top of the whole my best friend is in a coma deal)#she gets into a nasty fucking argument with harmony that ends in tears and a blocked contact#after a while the radio silence from melody DOES start to get to her#but beepo won't let her back in as per melody's request#(i also hc melody and bpo friendship real during the timeskip hehehaha)#and when 404 starts being 404#beepo cant even deny her requests to access because hes too focused on the bot raising hell#which starts to freak harmony out AGAIN because now shes getting radio silence from basically the embodiment of adhoc#i just think this character with little to no canonical content is neat#together they can make wonderful music but melody doesn't need them because fandroid can compose just fine#but the other three can't without melody#a choir never complete#anyway treble is transfem aaaand post

the funniest thing about fcg using the coin as a proxy for the changebringer talking to him is if it IS connected to The Changebringer, but not all the time. Like she goes for a coffee break and she'll come back to F.C.G in some incomprehensible position, buzzsaw whirring, as he yells "I AM FOLLOWING YOUR BIDDING, CHANGEBRINGER" and has to use the coin to somehow convey "Hey What The FUCK Is Going On Buddy???????? What did I miss????????????"
#critical role#cr spoilers#c3e49#cr liveblogging#you leave a contact with a spy radio but forget to give them the code and you come back to them crafting history out of the static#theres some layers to the joke here if i felt ljke refining it but its fiiiine#shitpost#fcg#the changebringer

This last race hurts so much cause Lance didn't fuck it up himself (a poorly judged move on Kevin aside - nothing bad came of it) the q2 exit was because of damage, comparing his lap telemetry to Nando's they were on par with less than a tenth in it until the debris damaged his floor.
Then during the race he was on for a good start, had made up a couple places only to get whacked from behind by Hulk and had to nurse a brake issue for the rest of the race. Not that anyone picked up on it cause he was doing such a stellar job until the rain came and well you need your brakes to work in the rain, and it certainly didn't help that Monaco is so hilly, his car became a pinball down into the hairpin.
Basically it's just annoying that people will look at the result and think 'lmao dumb pay driver' when that was not the case at all :/
#lance stroll#Nothing to see here folks just me lamenting over the bad luck Lance had at the weekend#Doesn't help that the team buried any mention of the damage he had near the bottom of a page of text that 90% of people won't read anyways#“contact at the hairpin resulted in a dnf”#Cool whyd he have the contact huh?#Cause the fucking brakes broke assholes#Kind of important information no?#Ugh#I'm just tired of seeing lance suffer through no fault of his own while nando gets podium after podium#When will the luck come his way#He's already had 2 dnfs cause shit failed on his car#2 stellar races#But they get ignored#And Miami was like they forgot he was out there#Wtf was that strategy Lance even called it out during the race and at the end and that is very unlike him on the radio#Anyways I'm in shit place at the moment & I really would like to have some peace with f1 but no#The universe said absolutely get fucked you will be miserable

remembered that human Alastor wore glasses and I'm kinda thinking that's the fic I should write, just a serial killer going to the optometrist 😍
#rave ramblees#hazbin hotel#idk why but that's just so funny to me#I feel like he'd just deny having vision problems for years before finally giving in#surprised he's not a contacts person... though idk if contacts existed at the time#I wonder what his prescription is#I hc him to be extremely blind. like worse than my eyes#even in hell he's at the same prescription#but he just uses the monocle and if he ever lost that he's toast#maybe in private he'll pull out some reading glasses but nobody must ever see him do that!!!#I bet he read every letter on the board in a radio announcer voice#(gets them all wrong) (he can't see shit)#ugh I just love having really powerful extreme characters put in absurdly mundane situations#put his ass in the optometry office‼️

Me: *experiences unpleasant things from People Being Crazy*
My inner whump writer: *takes notes about the feelings for more accurate future writing*
#whump#whump writing#whump humor#someone went really nuts on me and i set a boundary and now they have cut all contact#i dont regret it#my mental health has to come first#a guy put me in the girlfriend zone#i firmly said i didnt want a romantic relationship#i thought we'd be ok just being friends#but he kept pushing for more interaction even when i said i didnt have the spoons#and he basically threatened me with his own mental health to get me to respond#which is Extremely Not Okay#i told him in the nicest terms possible to cut that shit out#because it was triggering me (and i dont say that lightly)#and now its radio silence and he deleted all the previous messages he ever setn#which is LITERAL MONTHS OF MESSAGES#and the whole thing was this surreal mess of slowly sinking further into my time being absorbed by him#whether it was intentional or not is pretty much irrelevant at that point#he was really messing w my head#and if he takes me nicely setting a boundary as a reason to cut contact? then NO CONTACT#and yeah. i have more ideas of how bailey got in so deep w supervillain now#it didnt feel like a slippery slope until i was looking back at where i came from#essay in tags

Hey Quil do you have advice for what to do when you start your blog? I’m trying to figure this out and I’d really appreciate it.
I hope you’re doing well and that your class schedule sorts itself out! - Amethyst
Hi, Amethyst! Sure thing! Also still working on that schedule stuff--I have a few suspicions for what's causing the problem.
I think the main thing is to find people to follow and reblog what you like. You can follow tags and look through them, but it's quite detached and impersonal--a dash full of other people you've specifically curated is one of the big draws of the site. Tumblr's all about finding your people!!
Another is to block tags you don't want to see--which can be found by going to settings, general, filters, and then just typing in whatever you don't like (you can filter both tags and key words). And it doesn't have to be triggers (of which the most common formatting is "tw [thing]" or "[thing] tw"), but even just a show someone posts about you don't care about (I blocked ted lasso for that reason).
Also block people as much as you like--and again, not just if they're being genuinely shitty, even if they just have a character interpretation you don't like. This is YOUR blog and YOUR online space, tailor it to YOU.
Building a circle of people and finding what tags/people you want to block can take some time, so don't rush it. You'll get there! The main goal is to have fun!
Another thing you can do that might not be immediately applicable: some people have personalized tags for what they post. For example, all my asks are under "quil's queries", my art/writing under "quil's quill", and stuff about me/my life under "quil lore" or "quil's unholy underworld." You can come up with tags of your own--for those things, or for the queue if you use it, or anything else.
But that's optional! Really it boils down to post what you like, follow people you like, reblog what you like, and just engage! Send asks, compliment and share things, and have fun!
If there's anything specific you have questions about or don't understand, feel free to ask :)
#quil's queries#rosy-cozy-radio#there may be a learning curve but I'm confident you'll be fine#and I know you've got good intentions so any blips will also be fine#also regarding that schedule thing#i think it's 1. that I need to take another english class so the system thinks i'm progressing fast enough#2. i need to submit a form to be like actually i don't need to take another english class. the system's wrong#3. i need to figure out who to contact so i'm not listed as a 4th year senior. since I am. a sophomore#and being a 4th year senior in the system without being like 1-2 semesters from finishing my degree might be making things look weird#alas. i'm simply too good of a student it can't handle me </3#but anyway! welcome to tumblr! go wild!!

Does anyone know why rpgmaker.net is down? The only explanation they give is a link to their discord and its very irritating to be forced to join a discord in order to find the answer to something as minor as "why is the website down."
I haven't found any explanation anywhere else (their official twitter page doesn't show their most recent posts and I'm not making a twitter just for this, either, reddit doesn't have anything, etc) and I'm only going to join the discord if there's literally no other option to finding out what happened, so if anyone has any info, I'm all ears.
#phoenix says boring stuff#rpgmaker#rpgmaker.net#rpgmkr#rpgmaker dot net#its been two days now hence why I'm bothering to make a post#and its frustrating having only radio silence because no other major rpgmaker community seems to know/care that the site exists#like im sorry but im not joining the discord of a website i dont have an account on & only ever use 2 either download games#or read tutorials just to find out why your fucking site is down#the replacing of any other contact/communication method with discord is a plague upon the internet and its so fucking annoying#esp when it comes to (relatively) niche communities like this#sorry if my tone is really tense here but this is one thing tht infuriates me 2 no end when it comes 2 trying 2 find info on something

5 years ago today I was the sole employee working at a small airport on labor day. So of course that had to be the day a plane crashed
#no one was hurt it was just a really rough landing that wrecked the plane#but the pilots radio went out so i didn't know that and had to assume the worst#and then while i was trying to contact someone to issue a closed runway notam#some guy started arguing with me because he wanted to land and wouldn't take no for an answer#like. fucker. im dealing with a plane crash on a holiday#every emergency vehicle on the island is on the runway#im trying to make some very important calls right now#go land on the mainland its literally 5 miles away#(thank god for the other airport overhearing and stepping in for me)

I currently have to write a thesis, work on the biggest project in my entire study programme and will have to start preparing for my bachelor's exam at some point, and my brain thinks now it's a good time to get back into Red Dead Redemption 2👍
#I bought the game last summer but I'm still only at the very start of chapter 3 because I'm slow as fuck with making progress in the story#tbh I think it's bcI've spent the majority of my playing time so far with just admiring the beautiful landscape and taming cute horsies🐴#this game really brings out my inner horse girl again😭 I'd actually love taking riding lessons irl again once uni stuff is over -#but I'm gonna feel really awkward contacting my riding instructor again after such a long (unintentional) radio silence#like 'hello I got consumed with body and soul by university for one and a half years but here I am again do you still do lessons?'#also aside that I'm just really blown away by this game from a game dev perspective#I read that Rockstar used their own engine to make it so I don't have as much of an idea how they do stuff#but based on all the interactions you can do and things you can discover in the game -#my brain is imploding just trying to comprehend the internal structure of how like objects and their states are managed#and how it keeps track of everything and all that#I'm pretty sure it's not possible with a game like this since it's a company secret but I'd love to just get to look at the code#I probably won't even understand shit but it would still be absolutely fascinating#selnia talks

Dealing with bands’ publicists is so funny. They’ll send one of their corporate-y messages. I’ll bristle and respond with a polite version of ‘I don’t work for you, bitch’ (we’re volunteers) and then the next message will immediately be an effusively friendly and apologetic email from the artist themselves. I am always amazed me what different planets artists and agents live on lmao
#Artists: nicest people ever! Publicists: for someone whose job is communicating they sure have 0 tact ever#Music#musicians#I guess a tip from a radio station gal: you want friends in these places; not business partners lol#You’ll get much further with someone you establish rapport with because I promise you: PR is EXPENSIVE#but having someone in media (print/online/TV/radio/social) who loves you is like. Free.#Have you seen that infographic Los Campensinos! put out recently?#They spent $0 on press and PR this album. They got all their radio airplay from the fact that#Huw Stevens loves them and keeps spinning them on 6#I could make a whole post about that. Having had someone see you as a person goes WAY further than any amount of ads#So. You want us as your friends. You want us crowing LOUDLY about you. Because we will and we’ll tell every one of our contacts#Chr*s Moyles will not.#Musicians#music industry
