#YOURE NOT THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS TYPE OF CROSSOVER OP

[itshype]

Kingmaker, Kingbreaker, Crowntaker, Realmshaker (DC x DP)

Idk how many people who follow me know but I love my notfics so here...

A Kingmaker Danny Phantom where he's not (technically) king after defeating Pariah Dark because he's still uhm… a child (who is untrained in diplomacy and barely knows anything about Ghost Culture), but whoever replaces Pariah is fully aware than Danny could at any time beat them up and install someone else in their place. Maybe it's not even explicit and Danny doesn't know.

Pandora tells him: "Oh, we got a new king of the ghost zone, nah, you don't know her but she's tight with me and Frostbite. But we're not really having her use the crown and ring, they're going to be for emergencies only." and Danny is like "oh cool, my buddies approve of the new king, I don't need to be further involved!" but because of this assumption, he doesn't go to the coronation, and it turns into a huge source of tension because like:

"Why should we be concerned about any decrees given by the new king, when at literally any moment, Danny Phantom, the BAMF, the myth, the legend, is probably going to show up and give a legendary smackdown and make this ghost Pariah's new roomie?" Then some of Danny's long-time foes start to play very nice with him, in the hopes that when (not if) Danny decides to replace the new king that they might be in the running for a minor barony or something under the new regime. Danny does not think this about-face through, just thinking 'oh this is neat! how convenient that everyone wants to be my friend now!' Ghosts often refer to him as 'ghost child' and I love the idea of him being the little brother of the entirety of the amity park-adjacent section of the infinity realms. Johnny could teach him how to ride a motorbike, skulker could teach him some ghost engineering (assuming he is involved in the construction of his own suit) etc. These rumours of the upcoming 'next king' who doesn't even exist, of course gets back to the new king and she's like

"idk what I have done to anger Kingbreaker Danny, he hasn't even given me a chance!" SO!!! She decides to reach out to some humans she knows for advice on how to win over a little boy (her creepy insinuation very much unintended on her part). Here are some options of varying hilarity for how she could go because I couldn't pick just one!

Vlad!: Your standard, non-crossover option. I personally love redeemed Vlad content (maybe Maddy crosses a line and his Obsession with her snaps), and this could be amusing if the king doesn't give many details so he doesn't realise it's Danny, and then when he does realise, freaks out about having adoptive parent competition.

Constantine/Zatanna: Both magic-y people, they could have summoned her at one point before or after her coronation.

Wonder Woman!!: If the king knows Pandora maybe Pandora referred her as an old buddy of some of the gods or other amazons. The king could just say they need to talk to a human expert not connected to Danny without giving more detail and pandora could say "oh yeah, the gods who created me have some human-ish relatives and one of them even lives with other humans. she's basically my cousin!" meanwhile Diana has never met pandora and doesn't know anything about her outside of the OG myth.

Superman: Danny shares a lot of superman's powers, plus they both have that OP vibe, PLUS share the "one foot in each world" type of thing that could lead the king to think he was the best option. Unsure why they would've met so reaching out as a stranger would add a different vibe.

The Flash: his speed powers canonically come from another dimension that he calls the speed force. do you know what is also another dimension? the ghost zone. The flash is that annoying neighbour who occasionally dangles an extension cord over your fence to use your electricity, and will not stop using your Wi-Fi because it runs faster than his. The king figures he owes her and if he won't then she'll change the speed force Wi-Fi password...metaphorically.

Actually, you know what, ghost king threatening all speedsters on Earth if they don't help her woo a teenager is the funniest option. So, we’re continuing with that. Obviously, the flash doesn't want to lose his abilities! But also, this smacks of a creepy grooming situation. The flash then has to awkwardly explain to the entire justice league that his speed is being held hostage by a dead cougar who wants to seduce a human teenage boy for reasons that may be illicit but are jenky at the very least. There are hundreds of Danny joins the batfam fics so I don't think this story needs to go in that direction, but batman would probably have to be involved at this point just to figure out who the "teenage victim" is. That is how Danny Fenton meets most of the main justice league with them not even having an inkling he's dead/secretly a ghost hero. Most batpham fics I've read where the batclan figures out Phantom's identity, they see him fight ghosts and look up ghost experts, find his parents, see a family photo and then make the visual connection. Like superman, Danny's identity is mostly in the clear because no one would think that a ghost would even have a secret identity - he's dead (and thanks to the time travel he's done appears to have been dead for centuries), who would he need to be protecting?? But this time, the ghosts are all playing buddy-buddy with Danny so phantom hasn't necessarily had any super public fights recently that would make investigating protections against ghost attacks a priority for the bats that would lead them to holding up a picture of Danny next to a picture of phantom. Mostly, Danny goes ghost to play with cujo (I love cujo), or visit the ghost zone. Casper high students are BAFFLED at Fenton's eclectic friend group btw, though considering his parents the ghost dog totally tracks for them. *GASP* service dog Cujo....but that's another post for another time. Jasmine Fenton is not impressed. This could also be Sam or Tucker, or any of Danny's newest ghost buddies if you like but as an oldest sibling I have OPINIONS. She thinks Danny is safest taking this perv ghost on himself and not risking a possessed/overshadowed justice league or even just the justice league themselves. That's right kids, the justice league is often in canon closely associated with the USA government - the same government who put the anti-ecto acts into place. NOW! a lot of crossover fics have the justice league completely clueless about the anti-ecto laws and GIW. I don't always find that realistic. The entirety of the justice league dark is pretty closely involved with the dead and ghosts (deadman IS a ghost), clark is an investigative journalist married/dating/besties with another, award winning investigative journalist, Bruce is the most paranoid and well informed man alive with two sons plus one batgirl who have died and been brought back through mystical or scientific means, Diana is (in some canons) meant to be an ambassador representing her people to the entirety of mankind. So, none of them even being vaguely aware of this new law does NOT track for me. I think a few possibilities are...possible: - They know about the laws, read a few scientific papers on ecto-entities written by "experts" which would include the Fenton parents and pre-redemption Vlad, and think 'yeah that checks out no reason to fight this' - They know but as they rarely deal with the national justice system as a team, and therefore don't think about it as a positive or negative thing. It doesn't apply to their lives. Think about how much you know about your local laws, let alone obscure federal ones (in some parts of Australia it’s illegal to be holding more than 50kg of potatoes, just as a random example!). - Some of them agree with the "experts" or don't even know about the laws, whereas Batman, John Constantine and Martian Manhunter know they're a crock of shit but themselves lack the political capital to fight them without leverage and can't justify it without an emergency.

Danny's ghost buddies are told that apparently some ghost is threatening the justice league to get to Danny and go back into the zone to investigate. I genuinely think once their obsessions are no longer at cross purposes, Danny could totally help ghosts to fulfil their obsessions in ways they hadn't considered, and they could be buddies for real now. Think Tucker setting Ember up with a YouTube or streaming account, playing paintball with Skulker, introducing Walker to one of those uber-elaborate RPG or tabletop games with massive amounts of rules and letting him be like Matt Mercer in the Rules Lawyer round of Um, Actually. There’s an entire separate fic here I swear.

Either way! Jazz is trying to warn her brother away from the justice league while he and probably Tucker are all 🤩. Danny knows it's dangerous for him personally but his Obsession with protecting the town knows that Amity has never been safer with all these heroes milling about so it's hard for him not to be over eager and relaxed. The flash is explaining how his powers could be removed if he doesn’t comply and Danny says, “oh then just tell her?” and the league is like “oh no, not another self-sacrificing teen.” Unfortunately for everyone involved, Superman has super hearing. He heard Jazz telling Danny to kick the Justice League to the curb. Now the Justice League thinks there's something foul in the Fenton household, but they think it's Jazz instead of Danny.

You know what? How is your new hyperfix? I hope you’re having a bunch of fun with Spec Ops! I might not get it but it’s nice to know your doing great.

Btw I’ve been there.

Who’s your favorite character so far?

Omg that's so kind Sphny ｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡

I'm having soso much fun with Spec Ops: The Line! Tho tbh the fandom might as well be me, myself and I, I haven't seen any people my age interested in it (except a very nice fic writer that wrote the only non-crossover fic in the tag).

But the story is so cautivating and the characters are so well developed but at the same type have perfect blank spaces to fill right in with your own perception of them!! (Hcs,,, basically)

As for my fave character,,, The main three protagonist are my favs but the one I like the most out of all of them is probably Lugo x3!!

He's a Staff Sergeant and is really funny at the first half of the game! Some highlights include saying "I love this song!" When they're being chased by a helicopter blasting at them and this convo

"Well, for further reference I prefer my beaches with a 3:1 sexy ladies to dead bodies ratio"

"Lugo, do you ever hear the shit that comes out of your mouth?"

"No sir, I find that it messes with my rhythm (´ . .̫ . `)"

He's so cool,,,, he also can speak 6 lenguages and comes with a funny hat *waves him around like a barbie doll*

I recently completed the game with all his achievements as well :3c thank you for asking me about Spec Ops!! <3

Pokémon and Hunter x Hunter

So on Ao3 their are about 3 decent fics about this crossover, but none of them have made Pokémon into a Nen power and I think that's a waste.

In greed island Ging and his friends make NPCs and magic monsters that have powers. Like you could just replace Greed Island with Pokémon island and say that whoever becomes the champion gets to take a team of 6 Pokémon out of the game. Some Pokémon have healing powers so you could do everything the same from how you get into the game to that rich dude trying to save his lover.

You get a pokedex instead of a ring. The island is now Kanto. The gym leaders are the NPCs. Boom easy story.

But it isn't the story I think would be the most fun to write. I think it's a perfect power for an Isekai into Hunter X Hunter.

Huge Pokémon fan from our world dies and is reborn in a place where your nen ability is strongest when it's something that's important to you or you have a lot of experience with.

Interestingly enough I think the best way to make this person OP without being a Mary Sue is to make then be reborn as Neon.

She has the perfect backstory. Become a very powerful specialist because of an interest of hers and has a very indulgent father that is smart enough to turn her talent into wealth.

So you could make the power in a lot of different ways, but since this person knows Pokémon and would miss it. I'll go with they are around 5 when they have a vivid dream of being a Pokémon trainer and holding their own pokedex.

They wake up with the feeling of the pokedex in still in their hand and find that their nen has in fact created one.

When they turn it on however their is only a blank pokedex entry. Naturally they fill the entry with everything they can remember about the first pokemon Bulbasaur. Maybe they have to get everything exactly right. Maybe this only works because they could draw the pokemon correctly, and had the correct weight/height and remembered word for word information about the pokemon, but regardless once the entry is done a light shines from the pokedex as if trying to scan something and from that light appears a Bulbasaur.

Now you could make so that either your entry has to be that exact, or you can scan a plant bulb and then the plant turns into a Bulbasaur. I think it's fair that if you can find the real world equivalent of a Pokémon just basic information about them should be fine.

Now that we have a good reason to randomly get a specialist ability let's make you super rich, by using sleep powder, poison powder, and stun spore into boxes so your dad can sell these cool new drugs.

Nice. So I'd say the pokemon wouldn't listen to you at first. You will have to befriend it or create a pokeball which would be harder to do, but your 5 when you get the starting ability so a few years to learn it won't matter much.

Also your dad be giving you anything you want so Nen teacher? Why not?

You could go into tech and make actual Pokémon games and shows to sell which could become a big thing and realistically Milluki would be into it so you could use that connection if you wanted.

You could be on a journey to fill your pokedex meaning you want to scan things to make more pokemon. When it comes to ghost and dark types your gonna need stuff like corpses that had a violent end. Hey there Kurapika let's go to that auction shall we?

You could decide that you want an island to make a safe environment for your pokemon and your dad who is rich as fuck after your housecat turned into a meowth that can use pay day buys you one or better yet rents out half of Whale island for your use. Sup Gon?

You could decide that Greed Island needs some competition so you out bid that guy for one of the games so you can go into it and learn how to make your own. Kurapika could come as your body guard and you could befriend Gon and Killua on your way.

There's like a dozens of fanfics that could be made with this kind of thing. Feel free to use these ideas if you want. I'm too busy with my Wip to write any of them properly.

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @zyrafowe-sny, thank you!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

21 at this point (and I’m sure glad you’re not asking about older platforms because uhhhh. My FFN era was terrifying)

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

257,205. Huh.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Welp, Re-Animator, currently. But the majority of my works is a result of a powerful The Owl House obsession, and I do have another TOH fic in the making. Star Trek, though it’s really odd how little Trek fic there is on my account – I guess that’s because most of my hyperfixation went into the papers I published on the franchise.

Terra Ignota my beloved, but the books are so incredibly well-written, I get scared whenever I want to write anything about those characters. Everything I do is going to suck in comparison (and the one fic I did write indeed sucks balls). I had some flings with Sonic (kek), Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, and before that, Phineas and Ferb. In the pre-AO3 era, The Penguins of Madagscar (a fic after which I stopped writing for almost a decade), Discworld, Kick-Ass (my first English-language fic; what a trainwreck), Invader Zim, Storm Hawks (oh boy), Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Sherlock Holmes (the original, ACD one), Teen Titans, and some insane amounts of insanely bad, angsty Xiaolin Showdown fics with insane ships and insanely bad characterization. Look, I was 15. I’m pretty sure there was even more, and I can only be grateful that I don’t remember.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Oddly enough, Inhale, Hold, Exhale with over 1,1k, even though it was just an ultimate traumadump. Then, A Silver Platter (992), A Comparative Study in Redemption Arcs (789), The Matter at Hand (778), and The Deal (718).

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do! First, they make me happy and I’m grateful for them. But it’s also just a polite thing to do, and honestly? when I want to comment under a fic and I see OP doesn’t respond to comments, sometimes I shrug and decide kudos will suffice (not proud of myself for doing that, but oh well).

There were some comments I left unanswered, but those were from people I know IRL and I answered them somewhere else, or they were hate comments. Aaaand some comments I left unanswered back when I didn’t know it was possible to answer on AO3, and now answering them would be too awkward.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I write almost exclusively angst, so it’s more of a question about the specific flavor. I guess the biggest number of characters suffer miserably in a very mundane way in A Potter’s Field. In The Deal, the main character suffers in a very mundane way to such an extent, he willingly chooses to be possessed just to feel useful, so there’s that. Both stories have been bookmarked by people with notes such as “jesus fucking christ dude” or just “JESUS CHRIST,” and thus, I consider my mission accomplished and people's days ruined.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

The Red Crayon. Even I couldn’t write angst about Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus. Like, come on.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

YEAH BABEY. And I don’t mean the ‘I liked the fic, but there’s this thing I disagree with’ kind of comments, I mean the ‘this fic is terrible, have you ever watched the show?’ type of comments. The first time I got one like this, I was crying hysterically for two days.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Not sure? This year, I did write some sex scenes or almost-sex-scenes, but the thing is, they were about everything but sex. And one of them was very, very awkward.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Nnnope, and I hate those. But at one point, when I was very much into French Revolution, I had some grand plans for a Doctor Who fanfic in which Ten would meet Robespierre and realize he was a good guy.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don’t think so? I had my fanart and my photos stolen, yeah, but not fanfic.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, though there was one person who asked if they could do that (I think they lost interest/didn’t have the time).

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yeah, back in middle school me and my friend ran a blog nobody read, and it was about two Discworld OCs. It was horrible.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Spones (Spock/Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy). I will go down with it. I’m married to it. I’ve been happily married to it for half of my lifetime (and the entirety of my adult life).

I like other ships in other fandoms, especially the ones with a similar dynamic. Spones, though, is the archetype.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

A Star Trek fic about Spock being unable to fully process the death of his pet sehlat, and that fact influencing his approach to animals in the years to come. I’m quite happy with what I have – for instance, there are five pages of Spock and McCoy arguing over the factors that make animals cute, with Spock being super scientific and judgemental, and McCoy having a gotcha! moment when Spock says axolotls are not cute.

I started writing it when I learned about my beloved cat’s diabetis. Then he died, I had a massive depressive episode, and now it’s been almost two years and I still cry because I miss him and he deserved so much better. And perhaps I would be able to finish the fic, given that half of my fics are traumadumps anyway, but I have no idea how this thing is even supposed to end.

16. What are your writing strengths?

POV and characters not knowing things that the audience knows

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Getting to the point. Or, like, having any point.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Erm. Everything I write is in another language. English is not my native language, I never had private lessons, I still don’t understand how the tenses or the punctuation work. But in case of Luz and Camila, I do tend to use Spanish words or expressions from time to time.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Okay, so back when I was 7, I had no idea fanfic existed or that you could just use the names and locations somebody else created, so I was writing stuff that was very much the terf-created wizard boy and very much Lord of the Rings, but like. With different names. The headmaster of the magical school was named fucking Ambli Dimbli. The first fanfic that I knew that was a fanfic, though, was for Terry Pratchett’s Discworld.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

The Matter at Hand. It’s not my most popular fic, it doesn’t have my favorite TOH character in it, but it’s about politics and scapegoating, and it has puns in it. And I’m really proud of how everyone in this story sucks. I like it when characters suck.

[alolanratttatas]

My name is Josephine, or just Josie. She/her. I've lived in Unova, Alola, Galar, and (briefly) Kalos. If you think you know me, no you don't.

I currently work for the Aether Foundation as a field op. No, we're not affiliated with Lusamine anymore. Yes, I was here while she was in charge, and no, I didn't know what she was doing. I actually quit after that, and only recently returned after Aether's extensive efforts to prove nothing like that would happen again (and after things went south at my job in Galar). Yes, I've worked with Ultra Beasts, although not frequently. No, you can't pet them.

Stormy the Rattata is my partner Pokémon, but she doesn't battle. My field team are Exeggutor and Cubone and. I guess a wingull now. If you call her dirty or disgusting I'll block you. Actually the others too but that's mostly a thing that comes up with rattata.

Active Team Plasma members DNI. Macro Cosmos fanboys DNI. Lusamine supporters DNI. Rattata haters DNI.

OOC:

Alright so this post proposed the idea for a blog for that one Aether employee who's implied to have been a Plasma grunt, and I happened to have already come up with a name and design for that character, and...

anyway. nother blog by @oncillaphoenix, mod of @lovenpeace-pkmn. mod is an adult and also uses she/her.

Pelipper mail/malice/unmail is on; magic anons are off but may be turned on later; Musharna mail/malice is off.

I am afflicted with the Curse (long covid) and have chronic brain fog and fatigue because of it. I may be slow to respond to things due to this.

in the same timeline as @lovenpeace-pkmn; set ~10 years after the events of BW. More SUMO based than USUM

Josie prefers not to talk about her Team Plasma involvement but feel free to poke her about that--just keep it kinda plausible, she hasn't openly mentioned it yet

generally ranges from low stakes through drama stakes (as described here); may occasionally comment on higher-stakes events but will probably not get heavily involved as i don't often have the energy to keep up with that

will engage with: sapient pokemon, including legendaries and mythicals; fallers; crossover blogs (but keep in mind that i probably don't know your source material at all ^-^')

will not engage with: anything involving glitches or "the world is a game"-type things; events featuring character death or extensive pokemon harm (may interact a little bit at my own discretion but don't count on it. canon character death or deaths in backstories are fine as long as they're not in too much detail); anything involving cannibalism

please no nsfw asks! keep it PG-13.

no transphobia, even in-character. mod is cis and not confident in her ability to portray that respectfully

[rainybyday]

Tag 3 people in a post that just says "I love you".

(Ok, so, no joke, I forgot about the anonymous ask and found I had a pile of them. .....yeah this is on me honestly.)

I love physical love langue and I use it every day with a very much blunt "I love you" to my friends and family but I do not know how to verbally describe how I love a person that is amazing or precious to me. But I will try my damnest to make a post that screams I love you and your amazing work!

So, with that being said.... I can’t pick 3 people.

Let me rephrase that, I think having only 3 people is too little. 

If I were to really say three people with would be @kettlefire, @stormikitty, and @impyssadobsessions but I have so much to say yet so little words to describe how to write this down so go easy on me.

Kettlefire is a personal love for me because they not only make incredible post of ideas that add into the dc x dp fandom that I adore but that they also wrote a fic about one of my favorite ideas yet. I understand the feeling about having someone write a fic with one your ideas before, with both a different fandom and with the blob ghost one shot i saw in a mix of other dcxdp ideas, but it's very heartwarming for someone to take one of the ideas that your personal love and give it life. It says something about the content that you make of yourself to see someone loves something that you love just as much, if not, more, and create something out of it. So yeah, personal love for Kettlefire.

Stormykitty is also another form of personal love for me since they are the ones that lead me to the dcxdp fandom. It was one of their fics about Damian and Danny being brothers and Damian finding him on a picture on the social media and I just became invested into that story even when I had no idea what was Danny Phantom, other than the op intro I saw for the cartoon. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew was that I created a Tumblr account, started writing au ideas and BOOM! Here we are. Honestly, everyone has a fanfic or fanart that makes them all invested into a crossover fandom every time and for me, that person was Stormykitty. 

Finally, we have Impy. If Stormy was the reason that I started to become interested into the the dcxdp fantom, or more like the Batphamdom, then its Impy that only pushed me to love it even more. The fan art! The fanfics! The ideas!?! Hello?!?!? Every single thing that I read and see from Impy’s page is just amazing and I fall in love for every single time! Gosh, you have no idea how much joy I have when I go back day after day to see what else Impy has to show and create to share, and I have never loved a fandom even more. 

In fact, just being a part of the fandom and reading everyone's au ideas, looking at fanart, fanfics, and honestly every little thing I can see for this fandom only makes me love it even more every single time. I love this fandom and that's all I can say. 

(A;so i keep typing phandom and not fandom so many times I can’t even- look what the phan-er fandom has done to me!?)

[homocidal-invader]

ok. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40

Well dang :V

1: What was the first episode you’ve seen? Episode 1 because I intentionally looked for the show to watch it after seeing clips of it online.

2: What’s your favorite episode? Episode 1. It's one of my favorite first episodes of a show ever and I really like how well it introduces everything. I love other episodes of the show of course I just think the first episode did a great job and should get more praise for that!

3: Favorite Irken? I like the main character a lot but if I had to choose a second favorite uhhh the Tallests as 1 entity I can't choose one over the other

4: Favorite Human? I like the other main character a lot also but as a second Professor Membrane bc he's funny and I had a mental image of him before watching the show

5: Favorite Other Race? There aren't really a lot of those to pick from :V

6: Any fan characters? Yesssss a few but this particular one I made several comics about

7: Favorite fanfiction? It's NSFW and I haven't actually finished the full series because it's long and I suck at reading! I might consider linking it at another point :V Favorite bc I took some inspiration from it for Est and I enjoy NSFW fics lol.

8: Favorite fanart?

I've got a few really inspirational ones on my computer! I recently made a long comment on the Irken propoganda poster fanart (and made my own fanart based off of it), I like the Corrupted Data 99% one (and made my own fanart based off of it), I like this sketch dump of Tallest Zims bc it's cool and bc of the comment "all I do is lie to myself" which I quote all the time now, this FnF song video that I keep trying to do a full version of because the OP said I could but haven't gotten around to it yet, and a bunch more I don't feel like tracking down lol.

9: Do you write for the fandom? Well I make comics but for fanfiction I've made one, short ZaDr fic but in character somehow

10: Do you draw for the fandom? Yes, here's my art tag for this blog and here's my askblog

11: Would you be scared if Jhonen found your art/fanfics/blog? I've watched his Twitch streams (he might still be doing that every Monday?) and sometimes when he searches stuff up he ends up scrolling past fanart and doesn't acknowledge it lol. So not really, he's not as mean a guy as the fandom seems to demonize him wrongly as. I actually think meeting him would be pretty cool!

12: Do you like pairings? If so, which? I mean aside from ZaDr I like RaPr and basically am open to any if ppl write it in a way I like. Those two I just enjoy in particular.

13: Do you believe there are any canon pairings? Like, intended by the writers? I don't remember any prominent characters dating canonically no lol.

14: OTP? ZaDr. I watched episode 1 and shipped it immedietely after their first interaction XD If that's not a "One True Pairing" I'm not sure what is.

15: Favorite enemies? (Tak and Zim or Zim and Dib… etc) Does enemies to lovers count? Idk I am more of a HELPLESS ROMANTIC type I am only into enemies if it's charged in some way XD Otherwise it sticks out to me less so nothing really comes to mind that easily.

16: Favorite Tallest of the four? I can't choose Red or Purple it changes every day! I like Miyuki and Spork but come on they don't have that much screentime and Red and Purple have far more changes to be funny lol

17: Favorite thing about Invader Zim? ADHD and artstyle

18: Least favorite thing about Invader Zim? that's hard. Even when the show disturbs me I take it as a positive. Uhhh. when ppl in the fandom are judgemental about other people's headcanons in a mean way lol

19: Do you have any blocked tags, relating to the fandom? probably but finding out would mean I'd have to look through my blocked tags! I frequently block people though.

20: Do you ever do crossovers? I had some Gravity Falls crossover sketches back in 2021, and I've done a few crossovers between characters in my own discord servers sometimes, but nothing large/prominent.

...Unless crossovers between zim askblogs count.

21: Any parts of show that actually scare you? Probably not scare but definitely disturb me. I'd need to rewatch it to remember.

22: Any parts of the fandom that actually scare you? I'm very sensitive as a person and have anxiety so people scare me easily!

23: Part that made you laugh the hardest… I'd need to go clip hunting for that! Good news though I recorded myself watching IZ with a friend in 2021 and am slowly editing the clips so I'll find out eventually.

24: Part that you could relate to… Zim very ADHD

25: Least favorite episode? I like all the episodes and I see grossing me out as a bonus bc rarely do things disturb me and it means that it succeeded but uhhhhhh I mean least likely to rewatch probably rise of the zitboy lol

26: Least favorite scene? Sometimes there's fatphobia in the show and that sucks :V

27: Do you like G.I.R.? YES I don't draw him as often as other characters but if you look around my askblog he makes it into tons of the posts lol

28: If you could be anyone from the show, you would choose….. Trying to send me to hell??? Rude.

29: Are the Tallest intelligent or not? Yeah they just don't care lol

30: What do you think an Irkens blood color is? I like it when it's either pink or matches their eye color. I want a rainbow blood smear of irkens after war. imagine it.

31: If you could write an episode, what would happen? I've thought of several fake episode scripts, like where Dib gets suspended for pushing Zim at school and goes to a better nicer school, then ends up back at normal school at the end of the episode because the world is built to hurt Dib, or an episode where Zim gets stuck in his elevator and can't get out bc his PAK legs are too long and his rockets are useless and GIR is useless.

If I could write an episode though it'd probably end up being gay shit tho ngl

32: If all the voice actors and artists were different, would you still want Invader Zim to come back? Well if the writers are the same... hmm, though a lot of what was good about IZ was the synnergy between all the writers, artists, and VAs, like Rikki who voiced GIR also being a background artist, and somehow a bunch of these ppl are still friends 20 years later.

I think it'd be fun to see it even if they totally and completely fuck it up though because then the fandom would tear it apart and it'd be funny

33: Do you consider any of the characters your ‘babies’? Depends on the day but I do love random navigator drone from Florpus. Baby bc Evv is totally based off of them XD Adopted!

34: Do you have any fancharacters that are the result of two canon characters getting together? Fankids? I'd say Wur, even though it's not Dib's biological kid he's still its dad XD

35: If you could meet any of the characters, who would it be and what would you say? Dib's insufferable but I think he just wants someone to listen to him lol

36: If you could meet any of the voice actors, who would it be and what would you say? Probably Richard bc I've seen lots of interviews with him and he just seems really friendly and nice to talk to!

37: Other than Zim, who is your favorite Irken Invader? Damn :V Well we don't really get to meet the other invaders much, do we? Like it's either Skoodge or you just REALLY like a background character lol

38: Professor Membrane: a good daddy or a neglectful cold father? I'd like him to be good but yk all the times he's good it could just be argued it's because his kids are science experiments XD When I write him he's neglectful and cold but more on accident than intentional abuse. He wants the best for his kids but he's just not equipped to deal with their emotions.

39: Favorite quote? I'd need to rewatch the show there's too many good ones lol

40: Zim’s taken over the planet… Now what? Calls the Tallests to tell them about it and they're like..... We're not flying over there!!! Uh... we told you to watch it not take it over!!! uhhhh whatever, good job [disconnects].

Zim would have his fun being king for a day then things get back to normal by the end of the episode lol

[black-salt-cage]

Hello again I am back and I have more questions. Sorry in advance for all of my questions.

I was reading your card-

Do you guys accept cross overs?

If so, what if one of the fandoms isn’t on your whitelist or blacklist?

And what if I provide you with character gifs/stims by link in the ask so all you have to do is copy and paste?

Would you be comfortable tagging kin? What about clicker (isn’t necessary though)?

Do you have a limit on how many requests a person can ask? (Like on HazyAltCare a person/Alter-Human can only send in 5 requests within a 24hr period or we, the mods, will get overwhelmed)

Are you ok with at-ing/tagging/pinging blogs?

I appreciate you asking instead of assuming actually, it's very considerate! 😊

1. Crossovers are completely fine, we've posted plenty of that before!

2. For fandoms neither on the whitelist nor blacklist I actually included in that you can still send in requests for unlisted media, it'll just be dealt with case by case. I'm sure to have forgotten something for the whitelist since we have an interest in so many things, or didn't consider something we wouldn't be comfortable doing. So depending on whether the request is approved or disapproved it'll be added to one list or another. So please feel free! Just no offense if we can't do said subject/topic/fandom/etc. :)

3. That would also be case by case, since depending on the person who posted said gif may have a dni we apply to. I'd say your best bet for that to work is just to make sure the op is safe for us, or that it comes from a source not affiliated with the community

4. Kin content is perfectly fine, just be sure to specify it's kin related! As for clicker, do you mean the clickers from the last of us? Because if it isn't in the whitelist then it should be and that's a perfectly acceptable request topic

5. I haven't had to set an exact limit, but that's a good idea I should include in. I'd say no more than 3 requests per person, and that I would probably ask you not send any more until all of them are completed. We get requests here pretty fast as of late so don't be offended if you send in the three and find requests are closed shortly after, it won't be related to anyone who's sent in the limit

6. Tagging is perfectly fine so long as the selected blogs don't mind/approve (I'd hate to be a bother to someone's notifs lol)

Anyway yeah if anyone has any questions about the carrd or our terms please let us know! I had to go back and make it super specific because we kept getting requests for topics that were in our blacklist or some that were just genuinely triggering or not appropriate for this type of acc (imo) so you guys showing you want to get it right means very much to us! I'll probably update the carrd soon to reflect these new questions and answers. But we won't ever bite on this, the worst we'll do is give you an answer you don't prefer 😅

[kokocharm]

HEY OP? I'M STARING AT YOU AFTER SEEING THAT HOLLOW KNIGHT AND SONIC CROSSOVER POST. STARING INTENTLY

I would LOVE to hear you talk about it

MY MY MY DEAR ANON, HOW I LOVE YOU FOR THIS QUESTION!!!!

This is an rp with my partner that we called "Ghost is an Evil Henchman" as a placeholder name, before it stuck. (Henchman in a gender neutral type of way, all the vessels are genderless)

The RP mainly follows Quirrel and Hornet after they crashland on the beach. The rp is set in strictly the Sonic Boom universe, since thats the only one i watched and i think at the time the one my partner liked the most. This rp is based around a LOT of my fanon so if you want an explanation on that, you know where to ask ^_^ !

Sonic and Sticks finds the two of them. Quirrel and Tails IMMEDIATELY become bffs and make silly inventions together i love them. Meanwhile Hornet is having a lot of anger issues, especially directed at Quirrel. Shes pissed because shes crazily worried about her only living siblings (which will be Ghost, the mc of the game, Hollow, and Lost, whos been reanimated by lifeblood). But her anger at Quirrel also runs way deeper, from a LOONg time ago

(Hornet and Quirrel had an argument about the Dreamers. Quirrel told her that the sacrifices are for nothing, that even Monomon agreed, and Hornet has been furious about it ever since. She doesnt want to think that her mothers death was for nothing.)

Eggman attacks and they have to stop Hornet from literally beheading him which i think its rlly funny

Anyways, wheres Ghost??

Freaking the fuck out. Because they are in a cage. Instead of appearing with their sister and Quirrel, they instead popped into Eggmans lair

Now. I dont think me or mel ever talked about HOW they got there. Quirrel and Tails tried to question it, but never got rlly far and were just focused on how to get back.

So anyways. Ghost has a lot of issues that they cover up because they are "the Savior of Hallownest" and their sister needs help as the new queen with the survivors of the infection to build from the ground up again

Eggman, unintentionally, pushes on Ghosts insecurities that their sister doesnt truly like them. So they work for Eggman. And that almost spells out Sonics fate because its nearly canon that there is no enemy too powerful for Ghost. They are literally a God.

From what I remember, a bit happens after that. Quirrel finally breaks after Hornet yells at him again, calling her out because "You're not the only one who lost everything. You're not the only one who has had to kill your family. You are not the only survivor of the infection." My Quirrel fanon (aka, singed!quirrel) is one of my favorite side stories of mine. It has to do with his antennas, getting burned, almost assassinated.. yeah theres a lot

We kind of faded out of this rp, the last response to it was a hell of a while ago. We had plans such as meeting Hollow and Lost, and even having a fight between Shadow and Ghost where Shadow gets his ass handed to him and is like "okay, this is a problem." We had a scene planned where Ghost actually managed to stab Sonic, which finally made him realize Ghost was a genuine threat. I even secretly had an idea where Quirrel and Tails get kidnapped and Quirrel is trying to convince Ghost that Hornet still does love them and will not, in fact, murder them on sight (he is not successful)

In a new rp called Reflecting the Light, where both Hollow Knight and Sonic characters are present, we do occasionally get a conversation between Shadow and some of the vessels. Im pretty sure Shadow and The Hollow Knight talked at one point, but im not entirely sure.

All in all, Hollow Knight is a beautiful yet heartbreaking game. It's really hard, I still havent done the Path of Pain vecause i spent 5 hours on the White Palace and i am not emotionally ready to suffer through PoP. I havent even beaten NKG. But i hope this helps ^_^ if you like hollow knight and/or sonic PLEASE let me know and ill talk about them in reflecting the light!!! I love that rp from the bottom of my heart

Anyways. Its 11pm, I have school tomorrow. Leo, out (⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠)💛🌙

[kalicofox]

Heyyy, friendo! I recognise some of those fics (*winces at The Spare*) so how's about In the Interest of Change and/or Returners, for this ask game? (Good luck with all the WIPs, by the way. I feel that in my *soul*.)

Oh jesus... Um... okay, so In the Interest of Change was a PokemonxHarry Potter crossover, wherein everybody in the world ended up becoming half pokemon. I had ideas for it including every horcrux of Voldemort's ending up getting their own ghost-type form and body, and all of them fighting amongst themselves to determine who was The One True Voldemort. It was hilarious, and then JKR did... well. What JKR does, apparently, and I kinda just. Stopped. This was also right about the time I was being harrassed through reviews on FF.net, and ended up nuking my account there, so there's no surviving copy of the story online anymore, afaik, and honestly that's probably a good thing.

Returners, on the other hand, is a cool story that I like a lot. It's an original work that jumps on the whole 'Gates to a different world letting monsters into this one' bandwagon, with a side of reluctant hero, and a lot of OP main cast. I love it so much, and I want to work more on it, but I'm working on Footsteps almost obsessively right now, so it'll have to wait.

Here's a snippet, though!

There was, Irina noticed to her private dismay, a bulging duffel bag behind the girl’s feet.

“It’s not Jo’s fault.” The newbie- Cee, apparently, said as firmly as she could with her face as white as a sheet. “I should have tried harder, I—”

“Is this why you were here early?” Irina interrupted her, “To help her hide?”

“No!” The girl, Jo, cried. “Cee didn’t know I was here! I don’t even know how she found me!”

“I was looking for Jo.” ‘Cee’ said. “I was going to try to get her out of here before the gate opened, but then you found me, and then the gate opened, and I couldn’t find her anywhere until I figured out how to echolocate and saw her here, and then I saw the monster and I had to get it before it got her, and then I was here and I was gonna try to get her out of the way until the gate was shut and—”

“Enough!” Irina cut off the stream of distressed babbling with a sharp motion of her hand. “So you knew there was going to be a civilian present, and instead of informing anyone who might have been able to help locate her, you kept it a secret and tried to handle it yourself. On your first Gate. When you’ve been licensed as a Hunter for three days.”

‘Cee’ trembled. “Yes?”

“You’re a moron.” Irina said bluntly, and turned her attention onto the younger girl. “And you. Let me guess. Your home life is some shade of unbearable, so you decided to risk your life to try to Awaken so that the Centers would keep you from having to go home again, correct?”

Jo’s eyes went huge, and she looked down, nodding silently.

“You are also a moron.” Irina announced. “But in your case it is understandable. This happens often enough that there are protocols in place. You will accompany one of the Hunters here back to the closest Awakened Center, and you will stay there for two weeks. Your parents will be notified of your location. If you Awaken in that time period, then there are further steps that will be taken accordingly. If you do not, then there will be an investigation into your home life and you may or may not have to return. Do you understand?”

Jo looked up at Irina, hope dawning in her eyes, and nodded. “I understand.”

“As for you!” Irina turned on ‘Cee’, who had been looking far too relaxed for her liking. “Give me your registration card. I’m sending you back to your Center and if I see you at a Gate before you’ve taken the full set of training courses, I will have you removed from the registry as an active Hunter, do you understand?”

Big pink eyes blinked at Irina, and ‘Cee’ ducked her head, then nodded.

“I understand.”

“Good.” Irina said sharply. “Card.”

It only took the woman a moment to pull out her wallet and retrieve the plastic card, and Irina took it impatiently, carelessly glancing down at it as she built up the magic that Mateo had designed for the Eight to be able to interact with the cards in her fingertips.

She froze.

She’d been expecting the blue of an A rank hunter, or the green of a B.

But the card in her hand was neither of those. Nor was it the gold of an S rank hunter.

No.

This was worse.

Far, far worse.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks for the tag, @celestemagnoliathewriter

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

42

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

336,066

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Harry Potter

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Toujours Vivant (457 kudos)

The Enemy of My Enemy (308 kudos)

Reborn from the Ashes (203 kudos)

May These Memories Break Our Fall (117 kudos)

The Disowned Heir (86 kudos)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Sometimes. I try to, but a lot of the time I don't get around to it or can't think of what to say. I do always respond if someone asks a question, though.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I've written a lot of angst, but probably Midnight Rain or The Auror's Wife. Both are canon compliant Alice Longbottom fics, and it's hard to get angstier than that.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably Something Borrowed. It's ... not unambiguously happy: it's in the middle of the war, Lily's parents are dead, her relationship with Petunia is not in a great place, and canonically she and James will both be dead in another couple of years. But it's mostly a fluffy wedding fic, and it ends on a very sweet and happy note.

(I would say I'd Marry You With Paper Rings, but that's a 96 word drabble and more of a snapshot of a single moment than a story with an ending).

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet, thankfully

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No. I've done a couple of fade to black and waking up in bed together type scenes, but that's the closest I've gotten.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I'm pretty sure I did a long time ago, but not recently/under this pen name

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

No

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

My favorite HP ships are Tedromeda and Jily, but I'm not sure if I'd call either of them my all-time favorites. I'm coming up blank on what else I've shipped. You know how, when someone asks you what you want for Christmas, all of a sudden you can't think of a single thing? It's like that.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I've got an outline and some notes for a multi-chapter Dorlene-centric fic that takes place toward the end of the first war. I'd like to write it at some point, but it's really not a priority right now. I like the ship and the characters, but I probably don't love them enough to carry me through a longer fic, and I have too many other ideas that I'm more excited about.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm pretty good at capturing emotions and character motivations in my writing.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Getting distracted by shiny new ideas at the expense of my current WIPs. Also, I usually struggle to describe the setting.

18. Thought on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I've used small bits of French, which is the only other language I know well enough to write in. I would be hesitant to use something like Google Translate for a language I'm not familiar with, because it does make mistakes that I wouldn't be able to catch, which could be distracting for someone who actually speaks the language. I have looked up Latin words for new spells, though.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I don't even know. As a kid, I used to make up new stories about shows and books I liked all the time, without even knowing what fanfic was. And then I went through a period of writing stuff down, but not showing it to anyone else or sharing it anywhere. So even if I still had the FFN account I used as a teenager (which I don't), looking at that wouldn't even tell me where I really started.

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

Toujours Vivant. This is the idea I couldn't get out of my head that pulled me back from my "I'm an adult, I don't do fandom anymore" phase, and I love it for that.

Open tag for anyone who wants to do this!

[r-ate-9]

Regarding a fanfic I posted 11 years ago... a rant.

The fanfic in question, hyperlinked: Dead or Alive?

I just reread everything I have written and posted for the much-loved “Dead or Alive?” …I’m not really sure why it was so loved.

I like my idea. I like my plot. I think it’s possible that the Temujai’i would use poisons unknown to the Rangers.

John Flanagan’s Rangers tend to feel a little too overpowered, if you catch my drift. Regardless of their information-gathering skills, they’re not defined as spies (right?). Instead, Rangers are defenders of the kingdom, from internal affairs, mainly. They are the most senior member in a fife and report directly to their Commandant, who in turn directs directly to the King. One could even say they are internal spies… Big Brother, maybe?

I digress. My point being that it’s not unlikely for the Temujai’i to use a poison that renders their enemies entirely defenseless in the midst of battle, but not dead.

But then our Rangers aren’t aware of this type of warfare. When Will gets hit and shows no obvious signs of life, there’s only one solution… a funeral. With the bodies piling up (and the ground still solid from the recent winter), a typical Skandian funeral is reasonable. True warriors get sent to Valhalla via burning ships, food for their journeys, weapons they once carried, and a proper farewell.

In Araluen, we’re never told how bodies are disposed, but I’m assuming they’re buried (or placed in tombs for important people). In Halt, Horace & Cassandra’s minds, burning a body is only intended for one’s enemies and to do so to a former comrade (family) would be incredibly dishonorable.

Subsequently, they come to the agreement to send him off, without the fiery bit.

And so the story begins.

So much potential!

I don’t like how I executed it. :/

Granted, I started writing “Dead or Alive?” in 2011… so I was 14. In 2018 I rewrote the prologue, and got no further (the writing is noticeably different between the new prologue and ch. 1).

I’m about to turn 26, in 20 days, actually. I’d like to think my writing has since improved.

Honestly? I couldn’t tell you how I planned to finish this fic. Though I have thought about it quite a lot in passing, these last few years.

In either 2018 or 2019, I wrote a new chapter for the fanfic, well, rewrote one I’d written sometime earlier in a notebook.

Simply put, eleven years later, I can’t stand how I wrote this plotline. I hate Will’s new name “Panthera”. I hate that I made him into a Mary Sue, he’s OP, has a giant black panther as a companion… which is 100% lifted from R.A. Salvatore’s Legend of Drizzt series. So, there’s a blatant crossover. I hate how bad I was (still am) at naming characters…

I’ve tried editing, continuing it, altering it… but I get filled with so much cringe and then throw it back on the shelf and ignore it for another year.

But I keep coming back because I don’t like when I find a plotline, fic, author that I love, and then they don’t complete their works!

Because of this, I am marking “Dead or Alive?” as: COMPLETE. It’s over, it’s done.

I’m not content with the ending. Ideally, I’d rewrite the entire story. I won’t delete this one, regardless of my feelings.

I think, ultimately, it’s important to keep all of your writings for a few reasons:

1.       2011 was when I started writing, legitimately. Without DoA, I wouldn’t have 11 years of writing under my belt.

2.       It’s important to know where I started at, to be able to compare myself to my past, to see my development.

3.       I believe every author is allowed to decide whether they want to delete their content or not. But I also think it’s important to consider the reviewers, and according to DoA’s stats:

a.       There are 81 followers

b.       Since 2011 over 27,400 people have viewed it

c.       It has 175 reviews, which amounts to 41% of my account’s total reviews

d.       It’s my longest fic at 38,000+ words

e.       58 people have favorited it

f.        These stats prove to me, that at some point, my reader-base has appreciated this fic, therefore it will stay available

Thank you to anyone and everyone who is still around. Thank you to any new readers who stop by in the future.

[narwhalsarefalling]

Fandoms: Danny Phantom (DP) / DC universe

Summary:  THIS IS A CROSSOVER A  contact for the Batfamily passed along a rumor that the League of  Assassins were investigating a small city called Amity Park. The old man  and Tim managed to find evidence of unusual paranormal activity in the  town. While they weren’t entirely certain it wasn’t just infested with  metas, the locals believed the entities that haunted, for lack of a  better word, the town were actual ghosts. If there was one thing Ra’s al  Ghul didn’t need to get his grubby hands on, it was ghosts.That’s  probably why Jason was doing this. He had the unfortunate luck to experience both death and resurrection in a way he’d never recommend to  anyone else.

Warnings: rated T for violence, mentions of death, and questionable mental health

Parings: none

The Ops Center was very similar to mission control rooms Jason saw throughout his journeys after his resurrection. Parts of it were even like the main computer of the Batcave, and Jazz explained that it had the ability to switch between a plane, blimp, and car forms. Jack and Maddie really were giving Wayne Industries R&D department a run for their money. The only thing that struck him as odd was the working refrigerator Danny off-handily mentioned was filled with emergency ham.

“Before we talk about anything, I want to make sure this room isn’t bugged.” Maintaining secrecy was a core part of Batman’s training. Sure, he was still technically legally dead, but he had been seen enough times recently that he needed to remember to keep up his civilian façade.

Danny raised a questioning eyebrow before smacking himself in the forehead. “That’s right. You overheard me talking about the Fruitloop’s stupid spy devices.”

“The what now?” Jazz crossed her arms as her eyes narrowed at her brother. “Did you forget to tell me something?”

The teen rubbed the back of his neck. “Vlad sometimes puts these little spy robots in the house. They look like bugs. I haven’t seen any since I destroyed the last couple.”

“Danny! That’s important!”

Chuckling at their antics, Jason pulled out a prototype pair of googles he’d been working on. Since the helmet was a bit conspicuous when he was out and about, he’d been working on an alternative. “Give me a second to run a quick scan.”

They watched in silence as he looked around the room. While there were still some kinks to work out, he did get a couple hits. Walking over to the first one, he found an insect-like machine sitting on top of a few wires. After showing it to an alarmed Danny and Jazz, he crushed it before moving on to the next one. Three more were destroyed before he was comfortable enough to talk.

“How does he keep getting them in here?” Danny wondered as Jazz darkly muttered something about checking the bathrooms.

“If they can fly, they can easily get into an open door, but they’re also small enough to crawl through gaps,” Jason mentioned as he put his goggles away in one of his jacket pockets. He might want to invest in bots like this. They were much more discreet than the devices he currently used.

“I’m going to go through this house and seal up everything I can after this.” Jazz’s scowl softened as she turned her attention back to Jason. “You wanted to know what’s going on with you, right?”

“That’d be nice,” he glanced down at his now normal looking hand. “I have no idea what that was or why that suddenly started. There are others I know who have gone through something similar to me.” When confusion flashed across Danny’s face, Jason elaborated. “They had the same type of exposure I did, but none of them had lasting effects. And, none of them have displayed anything like this.”

“Others?”

“Yeah, you met a few of them recently.” Debating on how much he could safely say, he added, “A regular pain in the ass watches over something similar to your parents’ Portal. He mostly uses it for healing injuries and keeping himself young and insane. Getting exposed to it is an occupational hazard when dealing with him. It’s more like a pool though.” That should be enough information for now.

Danny’s eyes widened in understanding. “Ectoplasm is a weird thing. Exposure to it can cause different effects. Most of my school experienced ghost-like abilities when they were infected by what I can really only describe as a ghost mosquito, but everyone recovered with no lasting effects.”

“Is that what happened?” Jazz shot her brother a look. “I had almost contributed that whole thing to a mass hallucination.”

“It’s probably better to think of it like that. It was one of Spectra’s plans.”

Spectra? That name sounded familiar. “Was that the ghost who impersonated a school counselor?”

“Yep.” The kid grimaced at the thought. “She feeds on misery and is well practiced at getting under people’s skins. Anyways,” he continued with a dismissive wave of the hand, “going back to ectoplasm. For me and Vlad, we both survived accidents with it that should have killed us. I had signs something was wrong almost immediately, but Vlad mentioned his powers came gradually. But, he did get very sick for several years first.”

“So… exposures usually don’t have lasting effects.” That didn’t really help him much.

“What happened to me was a fluke… Due to reasons, I know that the accident could be replicated with the same results if I happened to lose my powers.” His gaze momentarily grew distant before he shivered. “But, we don’t know if I am the only one who would have survived it.” He turned his attention back to Jason and studied him for a moment. “It’s possible since you already are ‘contaminated’, the naturally high levels of ambient ectoplasm could be affecting you.” He glanced at Jazz. “Do you think I should take him to Frostbite?”

“Who?”

“One of Danny’s allies in the Ghost Zone.” Jazz tapped her cheek a few times as she considered it. “That might not be a bad idea. It’s early enough to make the trip and get back in time to get ready for tonight. I guess you’d like me to get our parents out of the house?”

“That’d be great.”

“Fine.” Jazz huffed as Danny shot her an innocent grin. “But you owe me. Make sure to let Sam and Tucker know where you’re going to be in case they need to reach you.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know.” Danny typed something on his phone before showing it to Jason. It was just a message about him going into the Ghost Zone for a bit. There was no mention of the why. “I figured you probably don’t want my friends to know.”

“You’d be correct.” He was probably going to have to check how much Danny may or may not have mentioned to his friends. It was one thing to tell them his secrets, but another to reveal his or his family’s secrets.

…

Their plan was very simple. Once their parents finally came up to the Ops Center, Jazz and Danny would announce they got a report of a ghost all the way across the town to get them out of the house. While Jazz kept an eye on them from the safety of the house, Danny would lead Jason into the Ghost Zone to meet Frostbite.

It was a bit too simplistic for his taste. Who would fall for such a simple rouse? There was also no way Dick would let him go without tagging along. Danny reluctantly agreed that was fine.

Much to his surprised, when Maddie and Jack finally appeared with his brother, who almost looked shell-shocked, Jazz immediately announced that they got a reading about a ghost in one of the parks. Both of them immediately drew weapons from somewhere (he needed to find out exactly how they hid those ecto-weapons on them without them being obvious) before dashing off down the stairs. Moments later, they heard a roaring engine and screeching tired.

Jason stood there in stunned silence as he tried processing exactly what happened. “How… how did that work? That shouldn’t have worked.”

Danny gave him a tired smile. “It works every single time with them.”

“Guns blazing and all?”

“Yep.”

“What exactly did I just watch?” Dick finally asked with obvious confusion coloring his voice.

Jason patted his brother’s shoulder. “That was a distraction, Dickie-bird. Anyways, are you up for a trip?”

…

It took a little bit of coaxing from Danny to get Jason to enter the vehicle he called the Specter Speeder, which was a weird combination of a boat and some of the spaceships he’d seen in the past. Danny explained it was the fastest mode of travel through the Ghost Zone which waited for them on the other side of the Portal. Questionable vehicles he could handle. Going through that Portal, that was another thing.

However, Dick seemed excited about the situation and happily boarded the Speeder. He had removed his civies to reveal his Nightwing costume, much to Danny’s and Jazz’s surprise. Since they didn’t know who or what they’d encounter, it was the best way to protect his identity. While Jason didn’t have his helmet, his prototype goggles and lower mask were worn for the same reason.

“Changing up the look?” Dick just smiled as Jason joined him and Danny in the Speeder.

Jason just rolled his eyes. “Would you rather me carry the helmet, which I should remind you contains explosives, everywhere I go?”

“Point taken.”

Danny, now in his Phantom form, paused from pressing buttons on the control panel to stare at him. “You're willing wear something on your head that can explode?”

He shrugged. “A lot of villains like trying to remove masks or helmets. If a helmet explodes, there’s always a chance it’ll happen again.” One of the cardinal rules of Batman’s teachings was that criminals were a cowardly and superstitious lot, and many of them were. Unfortunately, not all of them.

While Danny continued to stare at him, Dick laughed. “We watched your parents pull weaponry from out of thin air, but you’re shocked by this.”

“But it can…” Danny stopped mid sentence and rubbed his eyes. “You know what? Half of my parents’ inventions explode too. I’m going to stop thinking about it.” He pushed a few more buttons before grabbing the controls.

The Speeder lifted and smoothly drifted forwards. Danny tapped a green earpiece. “Jazz, can you hear me okay?”

Her voice came over a speaker system in the Speeder. “Loud and clear. I’ll do my best to keep Mom and Dad busy while you’re gone. Stay safe!”

“Ready to see the land of the dead?” Danny questioned as Jason and Dick moved forward to get a better view of the windshield. Before either of them could reply, he moved the controls forcing the Speeder forward as it slipped through the Portal.

Jason stiffened as they crossed the threshold. Images of being forced back to life and waking up in a pool of glowing green danced across his vision. Echoes of pain danced across his body. But it vanished almost as quickly as it came.

“Are you okay?” Danny glanced up at him. “I forgot that sometimes you can get an echo of what happened. I’m not sure if I just got used to it or if it stopped happening after a while.”

“Hood?” Dick steady gaze and uneasy tone showed his brotherly concern.

He shook his head. “Bad memories. It’ll pass.”

The Pit whispered, almost gleefully, as they got their first view of the so-called Ghost Zone. Swirling bands of green were only broken up by the site of floating islands and the occasionally floating door. In the distance, Jason could see almost familiar shapes. Were they stairs? Maybe walls? If it wasn’t for how active the Pit was, he might have been in awe.

Unlike the other times the Pit was so active, he wasn’t overcome with the obsessive thoughts. Instead, there was just recognition for something similar, like when he returned to Gotham after his time away.

As they traveled, Danny explained that the islands and doors often were claimed by various ghosts. Each area had become shaped by the influence of the resident ghost. Danny described some of them as they passed them. For example, one island contained a large manor building which Danny explained was a sprawling library owned by a ghost called the Ghost Writer. Apparently, the ghost did not appreciate intruders, especially if they caused any damage to his books. If he was honest, Jason wanted to peek inside. Maybe there were some rare first editions Alfred would like.

Soon, they started approaching what appeared to be a giant block of ice and snow, and the temperature inside the Speeder started to drop. Danny asked Dick to take the controls, “I just need you to keep it straight for a moment,” before disappearing for a few moments. He reemerged carrying two heavy coats.

“You’re going to need these,” he explained as he passed them out and reclaimed the controls. “This is the Realm of the Far Frozen, and it’s just as cold as it sounds. It’s one of the only places in the Ghost Zone where you can find a medical center.”

They touched down what seemed to be a few minutes later. Before he opened the hatch to the Speeder, Danny hesitantly explained, “Ah, you’ll hear Frostbite call me the ‘Great One.’ I might have helped stop the old ghost king from taking over both the Ghost Zone and Earth at one point.”

Jason shared a look with Dick. That was definitely a story he’d like to hear. While Danny didn’t seem too keen to talk about it, but maybe this Frostbite would.

Once they exited the ship, they found themselves surrounded by a group of ghosts Danny only could describe as looking like a cartoonish depiction of the Yeti. The one in center, who was distinguished by an icy arm which contained visible bones, moved forward and happily greeted Danny with a bear hug.

After escaping from the grip, Danny introduced them to the leader, now identified as Frostbite. He then gave a quick explanation as to why they were there. The yeti’s expression grew more and more concerned as Danny spoke.

“That is rather odd. Come,” Frostbite beckoned to Jason and Dick, “I will have my people run a few tests. I would also like to listen to your story. Perhaps that holds some answers.”

After leading them into what originally appeared to be a carved-out cavern in an icy wall, Frostbite led them to an intricately designed door which opened to reveal a sparking medical center. If he hadn’t just come from what appeared to be a frozen wasteland, Jason would have thought he walked into a state-of-the-art hospital. He hadn’t expected to see such technology in this place. It was also a great deal warmer than the icy exterior.

Frostbite instructed a few other of his yetis to get a few things ready before instructing Jason to remove his coat and shirt. With Dick and Danny present, it wasn’t really something he wanted to do. Neither of them needed to see that scar. However, Frostbite explained it would be easier for him to check for certain vitals.

After some encouragement from his brother, Jason just grumbled a bit before finally complying. The feel of the room, which was originally pleasant, turned tense as he heard gasps from those in the rooms. Yeah, it wasn’t normal for living people to have dissection scars.

“What… what happened?” Danny’s voice was barely audible.

“Told ya, kid, I was dead before I came back.” He gestured to the scar. “This is my permanent souvenir.”

“Little wing…” Dick didn’t pay any attention when Danny raised an eyebrow at the nickname. Instead, he moved forward to give a brotherly hug. “None of us knew…”

“And I wanted it that way.”

“I should have been there.”

“Don’t pull this fucking shit!” He snapped as he pushed his brother away. “What happened was my fault. I got duped and went in alone. Don’t you dare blame yourself for my stupidity.” He breathed heavily a few times as the greenish fog in his vision dissipated. Strong emotions were apparently a bad thing in this place. He really didn’t need to fall into a bout of madness in front of people who were trying to help him. “Don’t go telling anyone else. I don’t need anyone else blaming themselves.”

Frostbite politely coughed to remind them he was there. Once making sure everything was okay, he requested for Jason to explain what exactly happened to him. So, he did, with the least amount of detail possible. Danny and Frostbite winced several times while Dick hovered silently.

When the ghost pressed for information about the Pit, he looked to Dick for help. How much should he say? How much could he say? For him, it was the hardest part of the tale to come to terms with, and he still hated talking about it.

Dick seemed to catch the drift and took over in the explanations. He kept it brief. The Pit could both heal the sick and dying but kill the healthy. For most people, it temporarily enhanced their bodies but brought madness. He also talked about the color, that eerie glowing green.

“Being placed in that was how you returned?” Frostbite seemed horrified.

“Yeah.” Memories of coming back to life once again flashed across his vision.

“I have heard of such places,” the Yeti mentioned after some of his people ran a few scans. Jason had been allowed to replace his shirt. “They are pools of ectoplasm that form in areas where areas of the Infinite Realms leak into your world. But they are easily corrupted. I take it there are times where your thoughts and emotions become overwhelming?”

“You could say that.”

Frostbite nodded as one of his assistants handed him what appeared to be a printout. “While I am unsure how your unique situation caused this, I can see there was a permanent bonding between you and the ectoplasm from those waters. However, the corruption of it could cause what I could only imagine to be a type of obsessive madness in humans. Something similar can occur in ghosts if the ectoplasm circulating in their bodies becomes infected or poisoned.”

“I’m following so far.” The explanation made sense. Danny had mentioned exposure to ectoplasm could cause enhance emotions and cause obsessive thoughts. While it felt nice to have some proof his thoughts had been affected, he knew most of the havoc he caused couldn’t be blamed solely on that. “But why am I suddenly more ghostly?”

“I believe the corrupted ectoplasm in your system is slowly being filtered out by the clean ambient ectoplasm in Amity. This is the first time since…” the yeti frowned as he struggled with a word, “Ah… waking up, you’ve been around so much ectoplasm?”

“You can say ‘revived’, ‘returned from the dead’, ‘rose again’, whatever the hell you want.” He hated when people tried to dance around the topic. Sure, he was stingy about certain details, but he wasn’t afraid to say he died and came back. “But, I don’t think I have.”

Frostbite nodded. “For us ghosts, and those in between, like the Great One, being around ectoplasmic rich environments helps strengthen us. You can think of it like…” He frowned for a moment.

“Maybe like how we get nutrients from food?” Dick supplied as he rubbed his stomach.

That reminded him. They needed to get more of those Nasty Burgers before they left town, preferably without Bruce. Who ate burgers with a fork and knife? He guessed that was the one downside of being completely raised by Alfred.

The yeti nodded. “Yes, like that. Being away from places like this can weaken ghosts. The Great One is able to supplement with human food and isn’t affected as severely.”

“Wait, wait, wait! You’re saying I could have trouble if I leave Amity for long periods?” Danny almost sounded panicked.

“It’s a possibility.”

“Why didn’t this get brought up before?”

Frostbite almost seemed puzzled. “You never asked of it before.”

Danny smacked his face. “Of course that’s why.”

He partially tuned out Danny as he tried to piece together what Frostbite was getting at. “So, because I’m around more ectoplasm than usual, it’s accumulating?” he slowly asked.

“Yes!” the yeti replied with a clap. “As a result, you’re experiencing surges as your body grow accustomed to it.”

“Like what happened shortly after my accident?” When the attention turned to him, a greenish tinge came to Danny’s face. Was he blushing? “I fell through things a lot in that first month.”

“Is this going to be permanent?” To Jason, that was the more pressing manner.

“Probably not, but it is a possibility.” Not liking that answer, Jason pressed the ghost for more information. “The way you are now, you should begin to return to your normal once you leave the area.”

“The way I am now?”

“Yes, our scans show that you haven’t formed a core which you can think of as a ghostly heart. As long as that doesn’t form, your situation will improve. And with that corrupted ectoplasm being cleared from your body, it should help make any obsessions or intense emotions easier to control. However, I would recommend having a strong support system with you. Even among ghosts where our emotions and obsessions literally give us our afterlife, having those we trust around us helps prevent us from losing ourselves to it. Having been in contact with so much corrupted ectoplasm, I can’t imagine how intense those could have been.”

Jason nodded once. That also made sense. Having Roy and Kori in his life and slowly reconnecting with his family helped him bring back a clarity he hadn’t had since prior to his death. But, there was one thing about what Frostbite said unsettled him. “How or why would a core form? Would I be like Glowstick here if that happened?”

Frostbite frowned again. “I am unsure. The Great One and Plasmius are the only two halfas we have encountered in the last several centuries. The ones that were whispered about in the past have long since left your world and ours and did not leave any clues about how they came to be. We do know that intense and sudden ectoplasmic exposure created both the Great One’s and Plasmius’, but as you are already in a somewhat in between state, even being in this realm for too long could start that formation.”

That presented an interesting dilemma. Could he eventually become an entity like Danny? Just think of what he could do with those powers! It would be so easy for him to slip into Arkham and finally end the Joker’s reign of terror. By why stop at Joker? He could go after so many other mass murdering shitbags.

No, he needed to stop that train of thought. He wasn’t a good enough person to be able to handle responsibility like that. It would be too much power, too much temptation. He was activity trying to redeem himself, and he would lose everything he gained if he let himself side like that.

“Hood?” Dick’s voice and hesitant hand on his shoulder brought him out of his thoughts.

“I’m good.” He turned to Frostbite as he pulled his borrowed coat on. “Thanks for all your help, but I don’t think you want someone like me joining those ranks. Let’s head back.”

…

Danny didn’t speak after they boarded the Specter Speeder again. He worked in silence as he maneuvered the vehicle back into what seemed to be the Ghost Zone’s equivalent of the air before heading back towards the Portal. His motions almost seemed mechanical suggesting he might be upset about something.

Dick silently suggested that he say something to help. Like what? He wasn’t exactly sure why the kid was upset. Could it be because there weren’t many people like Danny? He had openly mentioned he was curious if Jason was someone like him.

“Are you mad that I don’t want to share your situation?”

Danny didn’t answer him. Instead, his hands tightened on the controls. At least he figured out what was bothering him.

Jason sighed and leaned against the wall. “Danny, I’m not a good person. Giving me that type of power would only end badly, for everyone. You don’t need someone like me ruining your reputation by proxy.”

“You should give yourself more credit.”

Did Dick really just say that to him? “Did you hit your head or something? You and Arsenal are the ones who like to remind me about the eight heads I had in a duffle bag when I began strong arming Black Mask. I also tried, repeatedly, to maim you and the others.” Maim was just a polite way of dancing around the fact he had tried killing is brothers. “You kicked me off a train because of that.”

“I tried to help you, and I said I was sorry!”

“Why? I was trying to kill you.”

“I’m sorry, what?” Danny finally spoke. His eyes danced back and forth between him and Dick. He eventually pointed at Dick. “You kicked your brother off a train, and you,” he turned towards Jason, “had heads in a duffle bag? What the hell?”

He just shrugged. “I needed to get the attention of some crime lords, and it made sense at the time.”

====================================

Notes: In the newer comics, Jason has what look like modified googles and something to cover his mouth as opposed to his tradition helmet. No idea why the change other than it’s probably easier to carry around than a helmet. If you’ve seen Young Justice Season 3 and what’s currently out of season 4, it’s a lot like what he’s wearing there.

Mentioned in the Under the Red Hood comic, Alfred has a collection of first edition novels and had a yearly book exchange which was not commonly known.

In the comics, the Lazarus Pits contain a chemical called Dionesium which is what gives it the restorative properties. However, impure Dionesium can cause the Pit Madness. In the Arrowverse, they say the Pit contains traces of the souls which have bathed in them which contributes to that madness. Both make sense... I personally like the soul concept better, but both explanations work fine in the context of this fic.

Yes, Bruce eats burgers with a fork and knife. That has been shown in the comics. And yes, Dick did kick Jason off a train during the events of "Battle for the Cowl".

[yourfavouritetragedy]

I was adding onto the DSMP Actor AU post, but it turned into Wilbur musician AU, haha rip me, and I only know SBI anyways so here’s a separate post. (It goes back to actor AU at the end.) It’s hypothetically still in the same universe though, and obviously inspired by it. If anything’s phrased weirdly, it’s cuz this was originally an addition to that. 

tbh I kinda adhered to their IRL careers too much compared to the OP but whatever it’s fine. 

Also frick the “Dream SMP” for not having a better title lmaooo

Wilbur is an indie artist really on the come up

Your City Gave Me Asthma was pretty good for a first release, popular with both new fans and fans of his acting.

He had starred in a short mystery/thriller-ish series that started off disguised as a normal sitcom: Chilly in Lincolnshire {Editor Wilbur ARG}

It had a prominent release because of Jack Massey’s involvement and previous fame, but production was abruptly scrapped before it tied everything up with a bow on top, so to speak. It’s still unclear if this was actually planned in order to tell the story the way they way wanted. 

Even before that, critics had mixed reviews, either applauding the storytelling and acting or calling it “irrationally confusing, an amateurish attempt to box unconventional storytelling into a conventional medium.”

Also SootHouse was a sitcom that achieved a cult following during the two seasons it ran before cancellation. Either you’re a fan or you’re never heard of it, and people constantly forget Wilbur was in it. 

(He was a few other old shows on his resume too. Wilbur always focuses on the newest project, so everyone always forgets about what he was in before.) 

Maybe I Was Boring EP was initially just bonus tracks on his website, but his fans liked it so much he gave it a wider release

In between, he had a few comedy songs go viral on youtube. Everybody was so confused when they realized it was the same Wilbur as musician/actor Wilbur. He laughed about it in an interview, saying “How many Wilburs do you know?” 

That’s when it came out that “Wilbur Soot” was actually a stage name. (”Ha, fair, only one.” “Make that zero-- my name’s not really Wilbur.”)

He kinda disappeared after that?? Didn’t do anything, really inactive on social media. It was semi-confirmed that he was both working on his mental health and prepping some stuff (music, auditions).

But anyways he just released a series of singles, combined into Digital Love {E-girl trilogy}-- he’s transformed his image yet again, but this time he does take ownership of all his past ventures.

The release of Digital Love bridges the end of SMP Earth and the beginning Dream SMP. 

But before that there was MCC and the other stuff.

They are shows where celebrities team up do stuff-- you know the type 

but Minecraft Monday is still inexplicably Minecraft Monday. Some Youtuber just managed to get all these up and coming celebrities to play a Minecraft tournament. 

And that’s where the Sleepy Bois (minus Tommy) met IRL so that’s where they meet here. 

SMP Earth, like Minecraft Manhunts, is also a former show they were on. I’m going to call it World Domination. Don’t @ me; I know that’s trash lol. 

They and the Dream Team met up because of their shared fanbases and were even talking a crossover, but it didn’t really work that well for the stories so they scrapped it

They make a non-canon cross over episode anyways {no IRL equivalent, I think}

Everybody loves the cons. Everytime there’s a con, five friendships are made and eight ideas are created. 

Techno backstory time

He’s done a lot of long running, though not exactly popular, serials and sitcoms: Blitz, Survival Games, and Sky Wars. 

Winstreak: 1000 {Bed Wars 1000 winstreak} was so popular they made a second season, but it never got as big as the first. He worked nearly exclusively with Hypixel Studios. 

He was doing lots of random content for their new Sky World universe {Skyblock} -- the small studio was big on experimentation -- , when a fictional documentary, The Great Potato War, went proper viral. 

They made two sequels WHILE he was doing those celebrity team challenge shows and then World Domination, and they were actually good sequels.

Got a reputation for being shallow and a sell-out, but he makes a joke of it so much he gets away with it and constantly self-promos.

Also a kinda scary to work with for the first time because of how single-minded he can get, but once you realize how socially awkward he is it’s okay.  

Now that’s he’s in a lot of stuff with worldbuilding, he practically has the wikis memorized. 

Tommy mainly did limited series and movies before World Domination, where he met the SBI.

He’d had been a fan of Wilbur for a while, and was super star-struck at first, but got over it really quickly in his Tommy style

He still is a total fanboy at concerts and whenever a new music video drops. “I’m friends with the guy! I know him, Wilbur Soot!” “Tommy, you’re famous too.” “Yeah, cuz I’m practically in the video!” “No--” 

Wilbur takes Tommy to one of his concerts and he’s so hyped the entire time, especially to go behind the scenes and on the stage. 

Sometimes he gets stressed about the pressure of being a child star, but Techno, Philza, and Wilbur promise to stand by him and they make him feel protected 

One time Wilbur’s drunk and almost hands Tommy a drink before swearing and going, “You’re a bloody child! You can’t have that! God, what would Philza think?” Tommy’s not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed. 

Philza laughs at the story and actually lets Tommy try a little in a more controlled, responsible situation. Tommy texts his mum first, and then hates the drink anyways. (”This is rubbish! I am a man, but I’m not drinking this!” Techno: “Alcohol is disappointing. I drink orphan’s tears instead.” “Techno WHAT--”)

Philza had been the star of a zombie apocalypse show: Golden Core 

He did canonically die to a child zombie in the movie version. Yes, they made a movie version of the TV show, because the Golden Core franchise actually has had many other shows {other hardcore series}. 

Everybody tries to get the child zombie props near him because of that (they’re puppets)

He’s done a lot of other things, like in the original actor AU post, but none of them came close in popularity. 

He gives the rest of the SBI the knowledge he’s gained from being in the biz for so long. 

There’s also a running joke about SBI meaning “Spy Boys Incorporated” and them starring in a comedy spy movie

The fans would very much actually like this to happen. There’s so many fanons for it (maybe I’ll write one....) 

Back to the DSMP. Maybe I’ll call it Dreamland or smth. 

Wilbur constantly asks Tommy if he’s okay after any difficult scenes

Especially when they were hanging out together a lot in the exile arc.

All the brother scenes were cut because Wilbur kept breaking down and crying in them.

Sometimes people actually ask Techno and Tommy if they’re actually brothers. Tommy tries to go along with it half the time on the basis of “it’s be funny,” so there’s a subset of casual fans that genuinely don’t know. 

After Alivebur was killed off, Wilbur was going to leave the show to concentrate on his music

But he missed the SMP and hanging so much that he just showed up on set one day saying “I’m a ghost now,” and everyone just rolled with it

Alivebur was so popular that, seeing that Wilbur was willing, they decided to bring him back for Season 3. He’s been avoiding doing heavy scenes, but he still seems really invested and like he wants to come back to the show.

Wilbur talks with Techno about writing and lore a lot

it’s one the few times Wilbur actually seems like the older one

Wilbur attempted to get a D&D group going in the cast, but the show was already close enough, with the amount of improvisation they can get by with

Tommy’s Pigstep cover happened, but the background was Philza clapping barely in time with just Wilbur on bass instead (and of course Techno’s “BAHP”s)

It was a charity stream. They had put on their costumes (clothes only) for a previous goal. 

This one was simply called “We rap.”

Some people were almost disappointed that Tommy was the only one actually rapping, but he was so funny it made up for it. 

Okay I spent the whole morning on this and it got way too long but I think I’m finally out of ideas. sorry haha hope you enjoyed! ^_^
