Dani, the Shadow: While Danny was MIA, Dani took up the mantle of Phantom. Later, she transferred the title back to Danny but acts as a frequent stand-in for him since they look so much alike.

Tucker, the Shield: The man in the chair can do more than hack. Tucker was the one to lay the groundwork the destruction of Fentonworks and constantly works to protect those dear to him.

Sam, the Sword: She's killed once, and she's willing to do it again for her best friends. Sam is the tip of the spear in their efforts to defend the Realms and the loudest when it comes to violence.

Jazz, the Scepter: Jazz would do anything to ensure Danny's safety and happiness. And she did. Jazz is now Clockwork's apprentice, and while the others are focused on the now, Jazz must be focused on the then.

I had drawn my knees up to my chin, on the bench where one used to dry one's self after bathing, and there I sat in a seeming stolidity at utter variance with my inward temper. I heard Raffles creep forth again and I let him go without a word. -The Spoils of Sacrilege

ok so i have been spending an unhealthy amount of time on a language learning app (i cant really recommend it much lmao). and i just now find out that "전지적 [ ] 시점" (Omniscient [ ]'s Viewpoint) is a popular Korean phrase? like well-used even if not as much now?

and that really surprised me cause I'd only ever heard that phrase in the ORV title. so now i really need someone fluent in korean to tell me. is ORV's korean title really cliched? does it give the vibe of a cliche action story? cause that would be so funny and actually really accurate to the story.

love the thought of espio n silver finally becoming a couple and espio’s like “YES! i’m getting to live out my very own romance novel” while silver’s like “oh fuck what do couples do how do i boyfriend i have no idea what i’m doing oh fuck oh shit oh f”

i've always wanted to write a pokemon ranger: guardian signs long fic where i play with the idea that ben and summer are just. incredibly codependent with each other.

figuring out how i think they first met, and which ranger bases they were stationed at prior to going to oblivia -- why they specifically were picked for the oblivia mission. their relation to past game characters.

i want a purple-prosey look into ben and summer's relationship with the air; being aerial rangers. how they met their initial staraptor partner pokemon. (also probably a look into early underwater training bc so much of that game goes underwater and like...that's not something you Just Do. you gotta be trained for that lol)

a deep dive into summer's time with rand and his family while ben is missing. i want lost of bonding with the whole family, leanne being a large help as summer navigates things. what it's like for the both of them to suddenly be without each other after years of basically being glued to the others side. (and how that played out as area rangers)

i've played with the idea of summer doing voice logs for the union, and so there'd be this block of dialogue where it's summer giving a quick recap of the day, with little confessions and emotional slip-ups in there. the occasional voice log being for ben instead of the union. eventually finding out that ben is no better in that regard, he's doing the same for her. the fear he has that his styler will eventually lose charge. it has a long battery life, but not infinite without the sun. the conditions of being held by the pinchers. i don't think blue eyes would have kept him in total squalor, but he wasn't comfortable, and i imagine it was dark and damp, given it was a submarine hold.

giving a proper timeline to things since as far as i remember, there was only ever one or two moments in the game that indicated a day had passed. making it go on over two or three months, instead of over a long afternoon.

going from a very unhealthy, "i don't know if i could live without you" to, "i lived without you for a while and it wasn't the end of the world. we still came back to each other."

but most importantly: refusing to make murph the constant butt of the joke because i LOVE HIM!!!!! he did nothing wrong!!!!! he's going to be just as much a mentor to summer and ben as any other character nO MORE murph slander!!!!!

Something that irks me when I remember and think about it, is how some movies and or series mess with the already stablished myths and mythologies just so they can fit to their story.

Let me explain further. The problem is not that said movie/serie has their interpretation of the Gods, Goddesses and myths, I myself have my own interpretation about them, BUT it is when they have to just forget about what CANNONICALLY happened because yes or because whatever reason.

And I know sometimes you can't just show the whole truth but like... Is it really necessary to just mess with an already solid story written thousand of years ago?

Because the Gods and Goddesses are always a representation of human nature, due to obviously being written by humans and they already had their personality stablished, so just mess them to create another personality and story for them is just that: A mess.

TL;DR: Watching sometimes mythologies and mythical characters being rewritten into two different people with the same name just so they fit into the story coveniently feels like canon vs fanon.

i love apollo 18 but i have a few problems with it and one of the biggest ones is that i can never just listen to the fucking album because its impossible for me to hear this song without repeating it at least like 4 or 5 times

[goshdangronpa]

The best fanfic trope is "fic/chapter titles derived from song titles/lyrics" and frankly it's not even close

FFXIVWrite 2024 day 4: Reticent

The full thing I had in mind was too ambitious, and then the shortened version I had in mind was still too ambitious because I had a long day yesterday and I'm still recovering. So. I hope to expand on this later, but here's the first taste.

Also, I'd never written Oak as a character before, since they started out more as a vessel for playing the game, and only developed characterization more recently, so uh, enjoy!

snippet below the cut:

The first thing he notices is the raw emotion, roiling and twisting and darkening the air around him. It’s scarily familiar; it settles around him, shaping the air, his gut and he remembers.

He turns. Slowly, cautiously, prolonging the inevitable.

And it’s him. It’s the Doctor. Standing poised at the far end of the field, scanning his surroundings like a trapped rabbit.

He holds his stance for a moment longer, feeling the snowflakes settle on his lashes. And he watches himself, through the warp of too many years.

The brown suit. (He loved that brown suit.) The stupid, stupid tennis shoes. The hair. That resolute, determined, heartbroken expression on his face, like he knows how heavy the world is and has made up his mind to carry it anyway. (He doesn’t know. Not back then.)

The Doctor turns and spots him, and then he’s crossing the field to meet him, vibrating with naked urgency. “You!” the Doctor calls. “Are you from around here, by any chance?”

The air is heavy with resonance, that unnerving double-echo that saturates every encounter with his past selves. He has to answer; he has to engage. It’s what he remembers doing, after all.

heaven's waiting down on the tracks ⛈️💛?? intriguing 👀

my dear, of course!! this one is my current favourite child, and will definitely be the first one finished bc I can't. stop. writing it.

anyway, max and charles and an impromptu Great American Road Trip in which they visit my favourite race tracks and very deliberately don't mention the F word. I would love to pretend this is anything more than 20k of rambling about how much I love motorsport, but that is mostly what it is and I'm not sorry

The night air is warm and sticky. Max takes a deep breath, letting the cool breeze of the air con drift across his skin. He glances at Charles, features flashing neon under the glow of the vending machine. He feels young, like a kid on summer holidays. Long days stretched out ahead of him with nowhere to go; all scabby knees and sweaty skin and tan lines under his t-shirt. It's odd, to feel nostalgic for a childhood he never experienced. Not like that, anyway. He blames it on the movies. There's something strange, either way, about shopping for snacks at 1 am at a gas station in Georgia with Charles Leclerc. He feels like he's stumbled upon an alternate universe, like nothing that happens here is actually real. He grabs three cans of Red Bull and feels Charles' eyes on him. "What?" He wonders, briefly, if it's too on the nose. If chugging cans of Red Bull in the passenger seat might be breaking one of the unwritten rules of this trip. The first rule, he thinks, of the Ferrari-Induced Crisis roadtrip is that we absolutely do not talk about the Ferrari-Induced Crisis. But Charles just laughs and brushes past him, grabbing a full case from the bottom of the fridge. "Three of those will only last you until breakfast, there's room for these in the back."
