Prompt 264
Danny squints at his tiny hands, eyes narrowing as Clockwork hums in the kitchen. Which he wasn’t even aware of having been in LongNow. Maybe it wasn’t. He huffed, voice too squeaky for him to continue complaining. Stupid time accidents.
Which wasn’t even starting on the other figure awkwardly sitting at the table.
He glowered at the Ghost King, who kept glancing at him with an unreadable look in their eyes, then looked back towards where Clockwork was. His scowl deepened over his cup of tea- which wasn’t fair, he wanted coffee but nooo, that’s not healthy for ‘little ghostlings’. Ugh.
Sometimes he wished he was fully ghost so he didn’t have to apparently worry about his living body having to grow back up.
#Prompts#Danny Phantom#Pariah Dark x Clockwork#Pariah looking at tiny ghostling with his pale skin & clockwork’s white hair: Oh no#Pariah looking at his fiance who helped lock him in a sarcophagus: Well I can’t Not marry him now#When you stop attempting to conquer the worlds to seduce your ex-fiance#and try to bond with your maybe-son#Danny had a time accident & being immune to CW’s power means he is stuck like this#And THEN Vlad decided to be an IDIOT and release this GHOST KING ASSHOLE#Who keeps FLIRTING with his CLOCKPA-#Oh Ancients he’s acting like a child oh no#Space Core Danny#Time Core Clockwork#Dark Core Pariah#Pariah & Fright Knight are brothers & PK keeps rambling to him#If you want to make this a crossover go for it#DCxDP#DPxDC#JL Dark gets word that someone let out a reality destroying king of infinity#dp x marvel#The heroes who time travelled are going to get yelled at by Clockwork for destroying their entire reality#Only interrupted by Pariah and tiny child who keeps biting him#“Clockwork who taught the child swears-”#Heck could do multiple crossovers#DC heroes arrive to this chaos

(crash) landing in scala
#one of these days i'll learn how architecture works instead of seeing a screencap and going “okay let's use this exact angle as reference”#really manifesting mickey's scala trip to end up like this#strand this rat in the past and give brain the opportunity to learn about the future !!!!#okay i was gonna make a point about how donald and goofy are there in that one khux quest bc their gummi ship crash lands there#and i was about to be all like “surely mickey can do the same thing and just land in a different era instead”#but i just went back to that set of cutscenes and mickey is ALSO there. but not in his kh3 outfit. mickey why are u there#why are you like “so it wasn't the star shard that brought me here...”#did you not arrive with d&g??? chip and dale?????#“what in the world is going on?” me too mouseboy genius me too#kh#kh brain#kh mickey#my art#sketch#edit: okay no i skimmed the cutscenes wrong lmfao. mickey shows up with a star shard into the same time and general place as d&g#knowing they would've landed from the sky just like him#why were you guys traveling separately in the first place...... interesting to think on#kingdom hearts

I've been re-reading Worm and God the part starting with Coil bombing the mayoral debate and ending with the heroes coming for Taylor in school (or Noelle's death, if you're picky) is such an insane run of arcs. Just banger after banger after banger.
It's got everything; Taylor being blinded, Coil pretending to free Dinah, Taylor fighting her way out of Coil's trap, the Undersiders thinking she betrayed them, Coil finally biting the bullet and Dinah going home, and then boom! Noelle time, and everything that comes with it!
It's by far my favourite part of the book. I honestly think Gold Morning is the only thing that can compare to it. It's an absolutely insane decision to have the two cathartic things we've been building to since before Leviathan (Dinah being freed and Coil exiting stage right) happen in the middle of that shitstorm, and even more insane to make them work so well.
#worm#parahumans#there's so many little things that stuck with me for years between reads#the visual of Taylor half-dead and fully blind driving the truck she stole from one of Coil's mercs.#Raymancer getting hit with radioactive dust from a Vista clone and going Oh. I'm going to die.#Wanton having to hold his breaker form until a decontamination team arrives. His record is twelve minutes and they'll arrive in fifteen.#Imp killing the Leet clone half a second before Eidolon crushed the entire building#The Faultline interlude where Contessa happens. The Travellers Isekai arc. Taylor telling Sundancer no one else was stuck in Noelle.

Question: In the last SBS you can see Zeff next to Sanji and I was wondering if he or other cooks maybe joined the Strawhats?? Since the Katakuri and Pudding comic I just really like more people being part of the Strawhats!! (It would be really cute to see father and son bonding time (^▽^))
Ah... Unfortunately Red Leg Zeff has already had his due time on the Grand Line u - u Actually this is set maybe like a couple of days or a week after the crew time travelled.
The Strawhats planned out the general route for their speedrun so they could OPTIMISE their run obviously- so what happens is Luffy hitches a ride on the sea king all the way to Cocoyashi and meets up with Nami, and then the two of em beat up Arlong. Simultaneously, what's SUPPOSED to happen, is that Zoro tries to find a den den mushi he can use to call the Baratie and then STAYS PUT so Sanji can pick him up XD (I mean,,, Zoro getting lost is basically a run killer, better not risk moving around too much). Luckily the RNG is really good for this run so it just so happens that the place the Baratie lands at to restock for supplies is where ZORO is at!!!
Anyways, that's why Zeff is there, cause he's out shopping with the rest of em LOL.
#time travel au#speedrun au#one piece#ask#The crew all meet up at syrup village to take the merry to the grandline!#hahaha lucky usopp can just kick back and relax and tell stories while he waits for the others to arrive#well he kicks kuro's butt too ig

fellas is it gay to cross dimensional barriers in order to get to the person you were willing to sacrifice your life for and then arrive at his doorstep with tears on your face as you confess how much you've missed him??? asking for a friend
#tged#the greatest estate developer#lloyd frontera#javier asrahan#llojavi#kim suho#tged fanart#fanart#my art#tged spoilers#<- HA. i wish. but still just in case lmaoooo#the fact there's speckles of berkis' magic still clinging to javier in the illustration of ch 401#means that either javier was transported directly in front of suho's door or that he ran so fast to get to him the magic didn't even get#the chance to dissipate before he arrived there. and considering we've seen how imprecise dimensional travel magic is in other arcs#i for one thing it was the second option <333#and also i just don't care i like making little speckles of light to my art i think it looks funky :3

MiqoMarch Day 30 - Of The Seventh Dawn
"When I was very young, my aunt would often put me to bed with stories of her adventures with my late parents. They explored nearly all of Aldenard together, just the three of them; getting through every obstacle as a team, and caring for one another like family along the way. As I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep, the same question echoed in my mind: "Would tomorrow's dawn bring someone with whom I can do the same?" After so many lonely years I had but nearly given up on finding such things for myself. How lucky am I, that at the very last moment I was finally given an answer."
#miqomarch#miqomarch2024#ffxiv#ffxiv gpose#y'shtola rhul#g'raha tia#alisaie leveilleur#alphinaud leveilleur#thancred waters#urianger augurelt#estinien varlineau#krile mayer baldesion#Arsay Nun#scions of the seventh dawn#i wanted to focus on just the trust members this time im sorry tataru >w<#Another collage!!#not as ambitious this time but it funny enough took me roughly the same amount of time#mostly cause i had less of an idea of how i wanted to compose this#but I was going with the inspo of dawntrail and the rainbow motifs they seem to have#and also like an actual dawn on the horizon#but with the beams shooting sideways it kinda looks like a meteor too#im just assuming krile will be a trust member in 7.0#as a kid that someone arsay hoped would arrive at dawn was her parents of course#coming back to fetch her so they can continue their travels with her#or maybe the post man who was delivering a letter from them#whoever it would be she would insist that they take her to them#but that never happened#so later it just became anyone new to the island#someone who had yet to form an opinion about her#when she was convinced to work with that merchant she thought she found what she was looking for but was sorely mistaken

so with echoes of wisdom .. i havent watched any of the trailers beyond the very first one and the thumbnails/screenshots and what others have said about it-
but with the world inside the rift being called "Welt des Nichts" aka "world of nothing/void" in german ('still' in english, for some reason) and demises title in french being "avatar of nothing" ... yeah my anxiety is shooting through the roof again
(hopefully you can be a little more forgiving for me being anxious/weird about it bc demise is my blorbo)
i had similar worries with totk, that werent proven true thankfully, but the darn book is making it all worse again with all those weird lore things the game doesnt even so much as hint at AND potential retcons- im in for a really rough time huh, not just stress in real life (more in tags.. its alot) but now about my specific hyperfixation from two things even (AND artblock still..)
weird as it may sound, i dont want demise to get more lore, partly bc i dont believe theyd do anything with him that i would like (given their track record) but much more importantly- the fact that he has this little lore about him is precisely one of the reasons why i fell in love with him, i tend to like characters that are neglected by the narrative, and his story being both so flat and already done meant i can be very creative with what i come up with for him without necessarily contradicting anything in canon (which is ... or was a big point of how i wrote destiny's story and lore, working with canon in a way that reframes it all without straight up ignoring it ... but i suppose i urgently need to let go of that and accept i spend alot of time working things that will go to waste :( ) AND not having to worry that there will be more stuff with him that would massively change not only what im writing but also potentially how i feel about him since the game he was briefly in was the oldest chronologically and ended with his death- i didnt expect them to mess with anything that far back and thought theyd just go forward and leave the timeline behind and wouldnt mess with it again, given how botw seemed to be a sort of 'fresh start' that seemingly regarded the past as the past that needs to rest and that the timeline was finally no longer a discussion if everythings unified through botw and one thing going forward
but i suppose i was very wrong with that .__.
right now the only thing that motivates me still is the left over determination and spite to work on my zelda comic, since i have never gotten this far and really want to get something done for once, but i cant lie that im feeling like i should pause all work on it too to wait and see waht the book and the new game will do .. either to determine if i still have the will to keep working on it after those things are out (my love for tloz has been taking alot of hits lately ..) or if i have to change stuff (mostly bc of my lore problem trying to not ignore it ..)
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#ganondoodles rants#sorta#suicide attempt mention in the IRL stuff im talking about in the following tags btw#theres some construction stuff on our house going on#and my father is extremely stressed about it#he used to be very explosive- being silent and then exploding out of nowhere .. probably left me with lasting damage yippie-#but now he much more lets it eat at himself bc hes old and feels bad for the past stuff so now it makes him irritated and depressed#my older brother is the most normal cis straight guy you can imagine and incredibly impatient and bossy (you CANNOT talk with him)#(brother doesnt live in our house)#and while hes helping out hes doing it exactly how my father doesnt like and since you cant talk to the guy (explosive +200) it stresses hi#to the point of my father yesterday saying that “it would have been better if i had just died back in the day”#likely referring to the time when he was drafted for the military against his will and tried to kill himself#which i learned only like .. a year ago- theres so little my parents tell me ....#its like my mother telling me- while my father was in hospital for heart surgery- that she not only almost died back when i was a young tee#and only survived bc of some incredibly unebelievable lucky coincidences (medics on a travel being there that knew what she had-#-while our local doctors said welp- nothing we can do lady AND them beign there with a helicopter and emergency transferring her#to antoher bigger hospital while giving her immediate treatment our local one didnt do- AND at the big one just so happened to have-#-an expert on that illness in the facility when she arrived who was able to narrrowly save her life#BUT ALSO while she was recovering and weak and frail as a dust bunny witnessing someone stealing hospital surplies-#not noticing she was in the room at first (which .. the nurses left her in the nurse room while going on break ... which uhm .. yeah cool)#and if my mother hadnt acted in time like she was fully asleep and the lady stealing stuff beign in hurry- she might have killed her#without my mother being able to fight back bc she could barely even talk (the nurses didnt want to believe her when they got back either)#ANYWAY that comment from my father brough me to tears#and my mom is trying out more ... other medication shes not prescribed in hopes of it helping agaisnt her many pains#but i worry it will interact with the other stuff shes on ...#and i worry so much about both of their mental and physical well being#always trying to be the one to calm them down or help with communication bc that is a big problem in this houesehold#but i myself am also a very much not normal and not medicated shut in who has trouble dealing even with my own feelings

Becoming deeply radicalized against the idea of crewed Mars missions, y'know how the Rovers keep sending back better and better data what if instead of that we made an even bigger one and devoted nearly 90% of its capacity to holding a guy in a bubble on top of it instead of sending back useful data, but wait! They'll eliminate like a half hour of latency and also almost certainly contaminate the landing site and possibly the entire planet, so it's not all downside.
#At least in the near term it's fucking pointless and the downsides are very large and very big#Quite frankly it is extraordinarily likely that the first people to arrive at mars will do so dead#Because they will have been sent by fucking idiots willing to take too large risks#But the good news is that the wreck will spread across and contaminate huge amounts of the martian biosphere#To the point that we will quite possibly never be able to discern the history of life on mars#But if they live at least they'll get to slightly reduce the latency on our telerobotic fleet!#And travel home with the samples I guess#Good thing Percy's tagging and bagging rocks that we just canceled the return trips for#At least once we fuck up the rest of the planet those will be sterile#Kinda still excited about Aritimis but also kinda becoming anti-human spaceflight in general#We should consider not doing that for a while and at most focus specifically on living on the moon in a controlled and limited fashion#Ground the whole fucking commercial fleet who gives a shit those capsules are both gonna get someone killed sooner rather than later#And it's not like we're learning a whole lot by having people on hand up there#They spend most of their time trying to keep the machines from falling apart#Which is the main thing people would be doing for three continuous years on the shortest possible mars mission#Like you could send a dozen rovers for the price of one crewed mission both mass and money-wise#And that's probably a lowball estimate even assuming more and more advances in rover technology#Which are happening a lot faster than the advances in life support technology#Right now we do not even have enough functioning space capsules at our low earth orbit space station#Starship HLS is a fucking joke#The whole thing reeks let's just stop sending people into space for a while what were we really getting out of it

Time was at a standstill. Vegas was holding his breath without noticing, and continued to hold it when he did - he was afraid of what would happen if he exhaled loudly enough to draw attention to himself. His gaze was shifting between Pete and the man who was standing before them in the doorway, blocking their entrance. Vegas had never seen him before, but even so, he recognized Pete in him enough to know who he was. A dangerous aura surrounded him. There was an edge to his presence that Vegas would only come across people of certain circles. He was a fighter. A muay khao. Pete's father. Shame coursed through Vegas' body, smearing his skin, settling in his lungs, rendering him speechless. I thought he was dead, he wanted to tell Pete if he could. He wanted to scream at him, I thought you killed him. Pete was the one who broke the stillness. As if awakened by something, he took a half-step back and made a motion with his arms, almost raising them to his chest, but not quite. In an instant, Pete reverted into the pet Vegas had been keeping at the safehouse, bound by handcuffs and afraid of his belt hitting flesh and drawing blood. A lump formed in Vegas' throat. "Have you stopped practicing? Your form is off." The uncanny similarities between Pete and his father appearance-wise didn't mean a thing when it came to their voices. Vegas shivered. Was this what Pete would sound like in a few decades? (Were these the condescending words he'd choose to spew? Was Pete going to embody his father? Was Vegas embodying his?) "What are you doing here?" Pete whispered. "They let me out for a few days, so I came here to collect some money. Imagine my surprise when I found out my offspring left the job someone found him worthy enough of doing to... do what exactly? Yaai didn't want to tell me." He crossed his arms, waiting for an answer. Vegas didn't know what he was allowed to say. If he was allowed to say anything at all. "It's none of your business." "I'd say it very much is my business, as well as yaai's business who was dependent on the money you were making being some rich asshole's human shield." A choked sound scratched Vegas' throat. He didn't like getting reminded of Pete being the main family's bodyguard, even though he stopped being one mere months ago. Especially like this. That was the first time Pete's father stopped looking at his son and turned his head to look at Vegas. For a moment, there seemed to be recognition in his eyes. Did he know who Vegas was? Did he care? A snort came out of his mouth. He leaned on the door. "Oh, I see how it is." He laughed, scratched his neck. "I never expected you to whore yourself out for money. Tell me, is it preferable to the path I carved out for you?" Vegas could sense the disgust in his voice. He could also see it on Pete's face. He was too astonished to share it, but not enough to be unable to speak. "Khun, there has been some misunderstanding-" "Don't bother. I can recognize a faggot when I see one." Pete's movements were too fast for Vegas to stop him. A direct jab to the nose; his father fell like a pack of cards, groaning like a wounded animal. Surprisingly, no blood - Pete held back. Vegas didn't know what to think about that. "That was a pathetic attack, even for you." "Get up." "We're not in the ring, son." Pete growled. Vegas could see his hands trembling as he was keeping them in the air, maintaining an offensive stance. "That never stopped you before." "You were too young to understand what I was doing back then. What I was preparing you for." Pete was silent. "The world isn't kind. It'll fuck you over one way or another." He got up, spat on the ground. "You still haven't learned a thing. You're too old to afford being naive." He turned around, and without sparing a look at Pete again, said: "Now get the fuck out of my house." (For @musictooth, whose posts about Pete's father have reignited my passion for this specific concept and for @wretchedamaranth, whose comments on my writing are always lovely and precious ❤️)
#tw slur#vegaspete#pete saengtham#snippet#yu is writing#I started writing this today while waiting for my bus to arrive and wrote most of it on public transport <33#(hopefully it doesn't show lol)#there's a lot of context missing here but basically: VP visit yaai and a wild father appears#I didn't have space to include her unfortunately but just imagine her in the background with a sad look on her face#which is mostly fixed on Vegas :))#for no reason at all :))#due to a certain someone who I won't name (😤) I mayyy turn this into a fic? Maybe?#because 1. I did have a similar idea a year or so ago but never did anything with it and 2. this concept NEEDS to be explored more come on#because in my mind Vegas and Pete can't go to yaai's house until/unless Pete's father leaves#all their stuff is in her house#and they only have Vegas' car with which they traveled there#and Bangkok is too far away to go back now in the middle of the night (yes this happens at night time)#so basically what I'm saying is: VP will spend their night in the car :)#I'm sure the combination of an agitated Pete and a tired Vegas who's also equating Pete with his father due to their external similarities#will be a delightful experience for them both#I'm vibrating out of my skin just thinking about it#can I promise I'll write it and put it out there? Hell no#can I still get excited by the prospect of it happening? Hell yes#sorry I'm rambling a little too much over here#I just haven't felt this good writing in MONTHS#thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it <3333
