“Still can’t believe how dismal his security is,” Oracle says through Cass’s comms. “It’s suburban normal, but I expected more for a CEO’s house.

“Special tech,” Cass reminded her.

“That hasn’t sent alarms to an outside network. If you’re pinging something, it’s on an unmonitored intarnet.”

Cass hummed. The cold drip down her spine let her know she wasn’t alone, but the longer it stayed and the longer she saw no hint of a person, she convinced herself the house made her paranoid.

The League had been like that – the chance of being watched was so high Cass always assumed she was and acted accordingly. She slipped into the same tense habits in the castle – keeping to the shadows, minimizing time on the floor, staying out of assumed camera views, and suddenly freezing in an effort to trick a follower.

The castle was large, bigger than the manor, with a floor plan that was hard to map with half floors and towers and add-ons over the year. It screamed money, and not in the subtle way of Wayne Manor filled with modern furniture and tasteful décor. More like the old Rocco palaces – full to the brim with furniture and art and embellished crown molding. How much came from the ‘Dairy King’ and how much from Masters was a mystery, but the gallery full of Packer paraphernalia was Masters: jerseys in shadow boxes, twenty framed shares of ownership, a football plated in gold, costers in the shape of Lambeau Field.

Parts of the private living quarters were tamer, more tasteful in style, though Masters’s four-post King bed looked heavy enough to require super strength to move. The room was full of photographs and portraits of a red-haired woman. Cass originally assumed a dead lover, but the more she explored the more she realized that wasn’t the case. Some of the photos were blown up as if taken from a telephone lens. Some of when she was younger but oddly centered. There were a few of Danny too, but all candid and occasionally oddly cropped.

Cass stared at a photo of the woman with her arm around what looked to be a younger Masters. Her opposite arm was stretched out to the side, but the third person wasn’t visible and the frame too thick for Cass to guess anything about them.

“The woman is Madelyne, or Maddie, Fenton. Danny’s mom. Masters and the Fentons were college friends, but it looks like Masters never got over his schoolboy crush. She passed this fall. It’s how Danny ended up with Masters. He had custodial rights in their will.”

“Natural death?” Cass wondered if Masters organized the events leading to his possession of Danny.

“No. Something happened at the house. Danny shouldn’t have survived. Maybe didn’t, not completely.”

Yes, not if Danny could turn into a ghost. Maybe Masters’ had some sort of necromancy powers?

Cass gave one last look at the photo of Maddie and slipped out of the tower to find Masters’ office. All they had right now was guesses; they needed hard proof.

Guys imagine, Roach died, before the creation of 141, but Soap is able to see his ghost. He was originally following Ghost around, really annoyed that he was using his death as an excuse to not get close to anyone, but when he found out Soap could see him and talk to him he started following him around instead.

And they get really close, like two peas in a pod, except they have to be discreet about it because no one else can see or hear Roach, and they'd think Soap was crazy if they saw him talking to no one.

They use that for shenanigans too: Roach will go follow someone else and report back to Soap, Gaz is genuinely starting to believe Soap has superpowers or something. It's really useful on missions as well, and Soap managed to successfully rescue team members thanks to Roach being able to move through walls and everything.

(Roach is not the only ghost Soap is able to see btw, just the only one he's talking to.)

And then Roach is witnessing his past lover trying really hard to not fall in love with Soap, and Soap trying really hard to not do anything about the love he already feels, and he has to try and convince Soap that he is dead. During that conversation he finds out that something else that keeps Soap from doing something is that he feels very confused about everything because he also has feeling for Roach.

So now Roach has to try and convince him that even if he was still alive he wouldn't have a problem with that. He's known for a while that he was polyamorous, but he hadn't really dared talking to Ghost about that because he thinks he's jealous and possessive.

And Soap is like "oh yeah, you want me to go say to Ghost 'don't worry about your dead lover that I'm not supposed to know, he's actually polyamorous and also in love with me, I know because his ghost told me!' ??? I'm sure he's gonna take that well!"

But Roach is nothing if not resourceful and he manages to put Soap in situations where he's forced to interact with Ghost, and eventually they kiss and their relationship is beginning to be something. They're not really sure what.

And Roach is sad, because he has to watch the two men he loves being in love without him, yes, but at least they're both happy, and it makes him feel a bit better. And then during a mission Ghost almost dies.

Because he was alone and Soap and Gaz were together, Roach was following Ghost this time, ready to fly to Soap in an instant if there was any problems. But there was and he didn't have time, so he instinctively grabbed the gun being pointed towards Ghost's head and moved it as the person was shooting, saving Ghost's life, giving him enough time to shoot the enemy himself.

But even as the threat is eliminated, Ghost is still looking up from where he's on the ground, staring right through him, looking shocked. No, not right through him, he realises when he moves to the side and Ghost's eyes follow him. He also realises that he grabbed the gun. He's never grabbed anything before, in all his years of being a ghost.

Then suddenly Ghost's eyes move wildly around, and he figures he disappeared from his view. He can still go through the walls, but he's kept the ability to grab stuff when he wants. It gives him a ton of new possibilities, to fuck with people and, of course, to touch Soap.

"I wish you were actually alive," Soap whispers to him, holding his hands against his face as he's falling asleep.

"What the fuck," comes Ghost's voice the next morning, waking both of them up - wait, since when could Roach sleep?

Soap doesn't understand immediately, because he's always been able to see Roach. But Ghost is standing in the door, looking straight at dead past lover.

Turns out Soap is a necromancer and he had no idea, though the whole 'I can see dead people' should probably have told him sooner that he wasn't normal... The more he wishes Roach is alive, the more he actually is. And they all end up happy and together. And Gaz is very happy to have won the bet that Soap indeed has superpowers.

The day Roach says, in a wondering voice, "I... I think I'm hungry" is the day they understand that something is really happening and he's actually coming back to life.

(Also, Soap has no control at all on his abilities, he has no idea what does what and why, he knows nothing. No one knows.)

[ID: a 10 panel comic featuring characters from the owl house, set after For the Future. The first panel shows Belos being ejected from the body of Raine, who's currently slumped in Eda's arm as she says "Raine, let's have gay sex", and Belos proclaims "EW AHH NO GROSS!!!". The next panel is an incredibly simplified doodle of the hexsquad reacting. The next panel shows Gus looking at Belos (pooled on the floor", before thinking "nows my chance to get inside his head again!". The next four panels show Gus removing the magic amplifier from his ear, drawing a spell circle, followed by close-ups of both his and Belos' eyes as they both glow blue. The next panel shows Gus saying "alright Belos, time to see what you-" before being cut off in the last panel as it's revealed that Gus can see the ghost of Caleb. Gus makes an exaggerated face of surprise, Caleb waves with a smile while Belos says "Caleb stop" from the floor. End ID]

(IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY THIS LOOKS LIKE ASS IT'S BC I SCANNED AND COLOURED IT DIGITALLY 😭 I drew this in my sketchbook at a fever pitch during one of my free periods) this is my only prediction for watching and dreaming, actually. Not realistic, but funny to me specifically

This is interesting... In the above video, the player attacks and kills Fia. A lot of people believe the death rancor spell that typically shows up is evidence that Godwyn is protecting Fia, given that she says "Godwyn, is that you dear?" as she awakes from sleeping. But here, she is awake, and still says this line, and the rancor spell doesn't happen at all.

The real reason Landon didn’t have a coin when he got to limbo is because not all of him was fully dead. His phoenix powers went into the golden arrow when he was stabbed, and since he was born with those powers they are very much a part of him. Therefore there is still technically a piece of him that is still alive. (This is also why he didn’t start dying like Raf did in 3x02 because, like the Necromancer had thought, he hadn’t been truly dead, not even after losing his powers because that part of him was still alive in the arrow.) Hence Landon being unable to pass onto peace, hence him being able to use the arrow to transfer his powers back to himself, hence him now being alive and a phoenix again.

i think its very interesting that most npcs within the wiz story remember the necromancers very well.... they note a trend among death wizards that allows for prejudices to form even though many of them were going through very real and heartbreaking things (i note malistaires death of his wife and his grief specifically & the loss of morganthes brother)

BUT THE SAME IS NOT SAID OF DIVINERS... most notably the villains/antagonists in arc 3 (i think of vanitus and the storm titan specifically) are all diviners or use storm magic. there's something in there about the double standard of these schools but its so interesting to think about

Golden helm of the Death Knights, whose own death masks served as the visards of their armor... The decayed golden wheel that adorns it represents their unbroken loyalty to Godwyn, he who became Prince of Death.
