well tumblr cannibalised my previous attempt at further reblogging THANK YOU VERY MUCH (not)

Jon's in a really tough spot in Metropolis. It had all started at school, when everybody (and he meant everybody) started going crazy over this new rocker girl. And yeah, Jon would admit the music was pretty good

and then it started mind-controlling people

oops. The only thing preventing him, Kon and his Dad from getting mind controlled was their standard issue mind protection tech, but that was only half effective, which meant they were fighting their own urges to join the masses of adoring fans just as much as they were fighting the local supervillains put under the spell of Ember. Worse still, local menace and controversial TikTokker Livewire had also joined the band, making the number of celebrities who were secretly supervillains up to two, which isn' a lot but it it's concerning that it's happened twice (and yes I know there are others but jon doesnt lol)

Just when all hope was lost, a tiny kid in silvery armor rocketed up to where Silver Banshee had pummelled him into the floor. Jon's eyes widened, already calculating flight paths to get the kid out of harm's way despite his injuries, when the kid's back exploded with green smoke, sending him for a collision course right for Silver Banshee. Then, at the last second, two rocket thrusters on the back of the kid's foot exploded, sending his leg careening right into Silver Banshee's face, which had turned around at the noise, knocking her out in one kick

"Huh, not a ghost..." The boy muttered. This close, Jon could see that his helmet visor was electronic, currently displaying a big question mark. "I guess the banshee part of her name is just marketing or something. Oh, wait!"

Before Jon could say anything, the kid snapped a headset onto Jon's ears, and suddenly the persistant pressure to join the mindless horde evaporated. The kid's head tilted and he waved his hand in front of Jon's eyes.

"Hello? Phantom to Superboy? Any lingering feelings of wanting to join the mindless horde of rabid fans of the world's lamest rockstar and her girlfriend?"

Jon shook his head. "No... it's all gone. Thank you. But, who are you? And what are you doing here?"

The kid's helmet turned turned to a grinning cartoonish face. "The name's Phantom, designation JF6290 something something numbers numbers I forgot. I'm an android built to fight ghosts, and," the kid (robot?) turned to look at the masses of mind-controlled people shambling through the streets, "it looks like you guys have a ghost problem."

"Ghosts?" Jon repeated dumbly, still reeling from how peaceful his mind felt at this moment after hours of resisting the control.

"Yeah. This is Ember's work. She's a ghost that gets stronger the more people listen to her music. Normally I have her contained, but this time she managed to sneak out from under my nose, so I guess this is my fault. Sorry about that..." the robot boy's face turned into a crying kaomoji, complete with embarassed blushes.

"Hey, it's not your fault. These things happen. What matters is you've beaten her already, right?'

Phantom's face turned bright again. "Yep! I've got all the latest in ghost hunting tech, but I'm not as good at fighting non-ghosts." He shrugged. If Jon hadn't been told, he'd have thought this was a real human (or metahuman) kid in a suit, with all the extremely casual, laidback mannerisms that Red Tornado rarely exhibited

Jon looked at Silver Banshee, who was sporting a nasty bruise and was still unconscious. "Well, I'm sure we can help you out. The name's Superboy, but you already know that. HOw vulnerable are you to electricity?" he asked, because bringing a kid robot to fight Livewire seemed like a recipe for disaster.

"Welll..." Phantom's face tv screen visor-type deal displayed an O.O emoticon. "I have some tools that might help."

spread his arms out and his chest slit open, revealing a truly implausible number of random gadgets, tools and weapons. "I'm sure at least one of these could help?" Phantom asked

"Do you have more of these headset things?"

"Duh, like twenty?"

"Then let's go! We have to help free my family, then we can deal with Ember and Livevwire."

And that was the beginning of a great partnership and friendship. From then on, Phantom would occasionally pop in to help out with ghost issues, or just to hang out. Sometimes he'd appear in metropolis, but soon he started appearing in Central City, Happy Harbour and other villain hotspots, usually chasing a ghost of some kind, but occasionally he and Jon would just hang out. Then, Damian got wind and basically barged in, demanding answers, only to be disarmed by Phantom's absolute fanboying over him

Danny’s ghost form was harder to hold together the farther away he was from the ghost portal. A solution found by Danny & Tucker was to create a robot body that Danny could possess that stabilized his form. The ectoplasm molding itself into the machine and possession causing Danny to become one with the tech, letting him not only use his ghost powers but also unique weaponry and gadgets built into his robot body.

An added bonus is that no one thinks he’s a ghost or even a human.

i’m reading the vampire chronicles books for some reason and i really like that The Vampire Lestat is just lestat going “my ex boyfriend said i was annoying and whiny and using him for his money in his autobiography so to be totally clear: i also had a bunch of insane adventures i just kind of never told him about. Anyone else kind of want to fuck their mom? Buy my album”

[that-sw-selfshipper]

I tried and failed—

man really cannot go into Ky's or Matt's tags without either A) finding UNTAGGED ship crap or B) missing out on things BECAUSE people tagged it as the ship crap

It's hard being a sw self shipper who doesn't like fanon or canon ships. :')

bonus under the cut:

white mushroom more like “butlershroom.”

anyway. yep! my headcanon is that the mushroom series of heartless were essentially like early versions of ansem. experiments to see if creating a heartless with a will of its own were even possible. (the mushrooms just wanna play charades and go on nice walks! they wont steal your heart because their instincts tell em’ to! they’ll only snatch it if they feel like it <3) how can you make an “immortal” successor if they cant even understand the research you left for them? so thats why they were created!

This. This is what brings me joy.

Happened to my friend Claudia

[juneofbones]

When Jon and Martin's voices popped up the only image in my head was them poured into a computer, Caroline/GLaDOS style. Ideally, things will go better for them.

[thedonutdeliverygirl]

I keep seeing stuff like "Girl math this, boy math that" why's no one talking abt artist math? Like buying the manga instead of the light novel so you have an entire book of reference pictures to look back to when you wanna make fan art meaning you basically just got a 2 for 1 deal

[sarcasticskyway]
