Hi i just discovered your comic and read it through, took a moment to lay prone on the ground and then read it again. It’s so good, the character interactions are so chef’s kiss, I love the art style! The panel where Arthur ponders the video game remote in Merlin’s place is sending me and I love the way you use tiny bits of color to make Aziraphale’s miracles pop! And the rainbow explosion all my homies love the rainbow explosion

Yeah the way everyone called it The Gay Explosion makes me proud xD

Thank you! <3

The “Danny is a chemistry teacher at Gotham academy” post is good but by now it’s so long that every time I come across it my phone lags to a halt and creates a situation where the post is keeping both me and tumblr mobile hostage

Oh no! I have absolutely no clue how to shorten the dang thing at this point so I guess you’ll simply have to be at the whims of the chemistry teacher Danny brainrot

Whats craft beer

OKAY. to be completely upfront i will be focusing my answer mainly around the us, because that’s where i’m from and that’s the scene i’m familiar with, but there are also large craft beer scenes all over the world. alright so. i think it’s easiest to explain this in the context of beer overall. obviously there’s mass market beer - beer that’s sold all over the country. in the us, that’s your budweiser and coors and pabst etc. it can get a liiiiittle murky when it comes to what’s a craft and what’s not (for example, goose island and sam adams are largely considered not craft, whereas i argue that they are, but i digress, and on the other side of things mass market beer is trying to make more artisanal products now to appeal to craft fans), but the three i mentioned definitely aren’t.

now, mass market beer is beer you can walk into pretty much any bar in the country and probably find. it’s also cheaper, because it’s made in large batches with probably smaller amounts of certain high cost ingredients (or just bad ingredients). craft, on the other hand, is beer that’s made usually in small batches with premium ingredients. there’s a lot of small breweries making their own recipes of their beers, often on rotating/seasonal schedules. it tends to be a lot more expensive, because there is a lot more that goes into it and because the people who are making it have a lot less overhead available to them.

think of mass market beer vs craft as being like, any mass market vs craft product, but for argument’s sake let’s use a mcdonalds burger vs an artisanal burger made by your favorite local place that specializes in burgers. you know that one is going to be an objectively better product, and the product’s going to be more expensive because it’s got better ingredients and because it’s being sold at one or a few locations and being made in house. so that’s like, what craft beer is within the overall ‘what is beer’ question

the tldr version is basically this: craft beer is beer that, instead of being made in massive batches and then shipped to every corner of the country, is made in small batches, by people who come up with their own recipes for the product, and then sell it, largely to local consumers. a lot of these breweries have large cult followings, and there’s a lot of people (like me) who are quite passionate about trying different styles and iterations of those styles

ooh as long as you're doing fic recs, can i request a generic, top ten dp fics of your choice? <3

Of course! <3

It was difficult to choose because there’s so many good ones, I tried to pick ones that haven’t been recced before (at least I think so). And because I threw most of my favourite fics at the first rec it’s a bit more difficult. (fics + summaries w/ small review under the cut)

1) Double Discovery by dp-marvel94

After accidentally shooting Phantom with an anti-possession gun, Maddie finds she has a lot to learn about both Danny Phantom and Danny Fenton. Eventual Revelation Story.

My favourite DP fic ever. It has a great build up to the revelation, whilst also giving Maddie character development as she realises the truth about her son.

2) Corpse AU by DarkNymfa

Stand-alone stories based on the same AU; one where Danny leaves behind a corpse after his Accident.

I forgot how the stories connect (been a while since I’ve read them) but this AU is honestly addicting. Leads to a ton of great identity reveals over the course of time, and just in general, big angst factor.

3) A Phantom Christmas Carol by Book117Worm

Valerie Grey did not hate Christmas, but when a mirror image of a former friend comes to warn her of her fate, Valerie is forced to change her anti-Christmas and ghost-hating ways before it's too late... For her and Danny Phantom.

Criminally underrated. As told by the title, a parody of A Christmas Carol, but Danny Phantom style. It’s an excellent read and characterises Valerie really well. There are some really suspenseful moments in this fic. Another similar one is this one by ReconstructWriter, but with Jack and Maddie instead.

4) when i am dead, my dearest by redrobin1989

Valerie knew logically that ghosts were created from the souls of dead people but it was another thing to be confronted with that knowledge from her greatest ghostly enemy. How is she supposed to deal with Phantom knowing he died and no one in his family noticed?

I love fics where characters think about who Phantom was in past life, and this fic delivers just that. There’s a ton of angst between Danny and the growing distance between his family.

5) Dead To The World by goodfish_bowl

There was a hazy time period, right after Danny walked into the portal, and then woke up at his own funeral. Based on that one prompt on Tumblr about Danny waking up at his own funeral, it's popped up a few times and I decided to take it and run away with it. Mine now.

Ahh the feels! Everyone thinking that Danny is dead but then he isn’t, and then Vlad with his schemes that don’t really show up on the surface. Reminds me a little of Corpse AU.

6) Shivers by JadeNoRyuu

When the Fenton parents went to investigate a strange phenomenon, unforeseen consequences began to stir a chain reaction that would lead to injuries, an odd medical issue (impossible for human standards) and the discovery of weird facts. Above all they're unable to call for help. What will they do? Reveal fic.

Nice family development between the Fenton’s as Jack and Maddie progressively learn about Danny’s powers (not finding out he’s Phantom at first). Has some real gripping cliffhangers and leaves you wondering what happens next.

7) Empty Promises by Laora

He is gone...suddenly, nothing matters anymore.

This fic is honestly heartbreaking. Danny dies in this, and everyone has to come to terms with his death. Also an identity reveal, but a devastating one at that.

8) A Ghost Story by Cordria

Happy Halloween! Maddie finds a strange toy airplane in a field, and it leads her to learning some very interesting things about her family. A spooky oneshot to celebrate the dead.

Ohhh boy. What a rollercoaster of angst and emotions. I haven’t been able to return to this fic after I read it for the first time. Prepare a box of tissues. Beautifully written.

9) Study Session by birsima

Madeleine Fenton had captured Danny Phantom. Or rather, persuaded, slightly bribed and with only minimal threats convinced the elusive ghost to come with her to be studied." Maddie observes Phantom to understand his human-like appearance better.

Not just one fic, but followed by Conversations, Huntresses, Encounters and Revelations because I can’t not include them. Great little series to read and follows Maddie’s POV and trying to work out why Phantom is different. There’s lots of unique takes in this, which is why it stands out to me (such as Maddie actually working out that Phantom is a different species of ghost which she calls “portalborn”)

10) Flowers Cultivated In Soils Of Absurdity by Sica520

A Tentative Memoir by Jasmine Fenton.

A work in progress and a project that she had started at an extreamly young age. The childhood diary had become something more serious, imitating the kinds of situations she found herself forced to tackle. She was a Fenton she was used to things out of the ordinary, and had, albiet partially reluctantly, accepted that her life was always going to be filled with abusurdity. But...well sometimes life can surprise even those who thought they were prepared for everything. (AKA The series and more from Jazz's POV)

Okay this is seriously underrated for how good the quality and quantity of each chapter is. It’s still in progress, but it follows Jazz’s POV in the whole series and adds really emotive elements and character development that you wouldn’t see in the show. (E.g - Jack actually feels guilty when mentioning how he and Vlad haven’t talked in over 20 years.)

Hello! I saw your distilling caffeine addition on that one post with with all those coffee + energy drink stories and I was curious how you did it. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to and that's okay, but it'd make a great writing ref if I'd ever get around to it.

Answered Here!!

(Hands you a fist full of thrush neckbones)

When Jason dies, he leaves behind a ghost. It appears in the Manor about a month after his death, a translucent little teen wearing red and yellow and green. The ghost isn’t always there, but he’s there often enough. In the cave, in the kitchen, in the library, sitting on tables and shelves and glass cases, swinging his legs and smiling sadly. Sometimes Jason’s ghost is out in the city, on the rooftops, often by his gargoyle. Bruce is distraught, destroyed by the ghost of the son he couldn’t save, but it’s a comfort as well. He might be gone, but he’s… he’s there. Sometimes Bruce can pretend Jason is still alive, and sometimes he tries to ruffle the ghosts hair. It never works, his hand goes right through the translucent image, and Jason’s ghostly smile gets a little sadder.

This is the new normal Tim carves a place for himself in. Jason looks at him curiously, blank eyes twinkling with something, and glances between him and Bruce. The ghost nods, and goes back to reading a book with pages he can’t turn.

Then Red Hood comes to Gotham. The ghost of the dead Robin meets him by his gargoyle, their gargoyle. Hood yanks his helmet off and comes domino to domino with his own ghost. Whatever plans he had, the turmoil in his mind, all of it stops. That’s him. That’s him. His ghost.

The translucent little Robin- was he really that small?- grins at him excitedly and grabs his hand. Robin pulls Hood along, over the edge of the building, down into a shaded alley where Hood’s bike awaits. Robin perches on it, and silently grinning starts pointing forward. It takes Hood a moment to understand that his ghost wants him to go, and hops onto the bike.

After a few turns, Hood understands where his ghost is leading him. How could he not? The ghost is him, and he knows these streets, and knows where the road ends and the cave begins. He doesn’t want to go, it goes against his plans, but he can’t not go. Not with his own ghost guiding him there.

An engine roars into the Batcave, riding it a helmeted stranger. In front of him sits Jason, all red and green and yellow and translucent as ever but he is beaming, smiling like never before, and drags the stranger off the bike and towards the wary heroes waiting for them. Drags, by the hand, ephemeral little Jason who hasn’t been able to touch a thing since he died. The stranger seems hesitant to come, but little Jason pouts at him, and he comes. Finally, face to face with the bat himself, Red Hood takes off his helmet.

“Jason?”

(Aka, what if Jason left behind a ghost and still came back?)

Ok the way you described Robin!Jason I imagined his figure solely comprised of outlines like a neon sign and I cannot stress it enough how much I adore that.

This concept is so fucking cool if ANYONE wants to add onto this I can and will draw one of my little skelly fellows for you nsjsnwnewjansneb
