#friends through osmosis?

[undecidingfate]

Headmaster Dumbledore is sure that the ghosts of Hogwarts were hiding something. He’d be the first to admit that he’s nosy when it came to things like these, but he simply doesn’t have the time. Whatever that lingered these halls, he’s sure does not mean Hogwarts any harm. The ghosts would not protect it if it did.

Albus Dumbledore Hummer around a lemon drop as his quill scratched over endless parchment paper.

His wand glowed green for a brief second, an acknowledgement, and settled down into its current owner’s hold.

——

Danny Phantom hadn’t thought the castle he found during the summer months in this universe would be… so full of life. Not when there were ghosts, floating around like the castle were their own home.

Magic.

They were ghosts made of magic.

His core struggled, at first, to survive. Then, it took the magic and thrived.

He floated, invisible amongst the glittering candles beneath the imitated night sky, and watched students file in.

Quite different, from his own entrance.

He had floated into the tower, having felt a hint of resistance that he knew now were the castle wards. The ghosts, what he thought were ghosts before he realized ectoplasmic ghosts existed, stopped dead. Hah.

The shades dancing and whirling and conversing froze as he entered the tower. Life and death, and the beings that walked the line, stopped at the arrival of the One Who is the Line. The boy king wreathed in black and green glanced around.

“Hello. I’m Phantom.”

“The High King,” a ghost whispered. “Our king.”

“He’s an American?” Another one asked, scandalized. Danny, surrounded by those who he recognized as his, cracked the first smile he’s had in a while.

“Who cares? He’s…” The knight sunk to his knees, bowing with his ghostly sword in front of him.

The ghosts bowed. Danny floated in further. “Can you tell me where I am?”

“Of course.”

——

Now… he’s watching the children get Sorted. Weird, for a hat to decide your classmates, but whatever.

Harry Potter’s name is called, and the whispers broke out. He doesn’t know why, but Danny couldn’t ask the ghosts. They barely know the current headmaster, as the dead generally care only for their own times.

Danny decides to visit the lake octopus. Lake squid? Something like that. The mer people beneath the waters liked him, the last time he went. The Sorting is put out of Danny’s mind. He’s dead now, too. The only thing he cares about now is to explore the vast halls of Hogwarts and the occasional visit to the kitchen to steal some food for his living body.

(Thank the Ancients he found a house elf who knew what seasoning was.)

(Sometimes, Danny flew to where his home would have been and gets comfort food at the nearest town. He missed it, but he can’t go back.)

The ghosts know by now to call for Phantom should they need something (“I’m American,” he joked at the ghost. “We’re not big on kings. You can just call me Phantom.”)

——

The third year he’s there, Danny feels the effects of Clockwork’s power. When he investigates, it’s the red headed girl he once saw leaving the library, paper clutched in her hand.

She helped save one of his subjects, so he owes her. Plus, if she’s using Clockwork’s powers, this Hermione has potential.

And… she’s using it to study.

She reminds him of Jazz.

——

A wave of ice crackled and froze the fleeing rat and the feral wolf man.

“What?!” Harry screeched to a stop, eyes wide at the ghost child in front of him.

Danny turned, and landed gently on the ground. Snape snarled at him in suspicion. Danny allowed himself to become living again, black hair and blue eyes and tan skin replacing the white, green, black thing his dead form had.

“Who’re you?” The red-headed boy, Ron?, asked him through gritted teeth.

Danny smiled at them, dimples appearing. “A friend.”

Before the trio and co. could say anything, Danny whips his head around, palm coming up.

“Stop.” He orders. The creeping sense of cold and dread shuttered to a stop. “Go over there,” he said, and the dementors, hovering at the edge of his periphery obeyed. Danny turned back to the mildly terrified and flummoxed group.

“Let’s go. You’re all going to catch a cold, if you don’t move it. Especially you, scrawny and greasy.” He pointed at the godfather and Snape.

——

“Hey, Danny?”

“What, Harry?”

“Why’d you help us? I mean, you said you didn’t want to involve yourself in stuff like that.”

Danny hummed, wisped tail curling up against him as he soaked in the sun’s rays. “Because you reminded me of myself. And in the end, you died.”

“You literally brought me back,” Harry deadpanned, remembering the place between life and death, and how the angry Danny was when he stormed onto that train platform. The King had taken him by the scruff of his shirt collar like a particularly incensed mother cat, and dragged him off away from a puzzled Dumbledore.

“You were being stupid. You’re too young to die.”

“Like you?”

Danny snorted. “Nah. I didn’t have a choice.”

I'll just put this here and reblog it again when it's 2029 and I'm proven right

[pillowbugs]

gee chandelure how come gamefreak lets you be the ace of 2 important trainers in the same game (affectionate)

[moe-broey]

I've only read the first volume of Dungeon Meshi but I'm convinced Laios and Marcille are both autistic but two EXTREMELY different flavors of autism, so much so it enables autistic PVP (one sided, Laios is unaware, possibly due to the autism)

[puppetmaster13u]

Batman Au where the Waynes are a Gotham-based branch of the Addams family

[bucklavaa]

He’s an ALLY GUYS

[spaghettiisinmysoul]

Au where everything is the same but wolverine has teeny little legs

OH MYGOD YOU DONT KNOW ABOUTSHORT KING WOLVERINE

Yeah he’s canonically like 5’3” in the comics (which is great for me cause I’m taller than him)

[spursthatjinglejanglejingle]

It fucks me up sooooo badly that Stanley could've very easily hated Mabel and Dipper for being little pests that got in the way while he was trying to get his brother back but he goes out of his way to take them on fishing trips and to diners and shit. Because they're family too.

[transvampireboyfriend]

modern/social media au where Steve is all about instagram and twitter and tiktok and whatever else is mainstream and Eddie is just. Not a Social Media Person ™.

Maybe they meet at a cafe or a party and Steve is immediately head over heels. They follow each other on Instagram and Eddie just likes, like, everything Steve shares some weeks and some others he just doesn't like anything, it drives Steve up the wall.

Eddie comments whatever he thinks on many of Steve's stories and Steve is excited until he realizes Eddie basically does that with everyone. He tries to get Robin's opinion and gets an unhelpful "i think he's just weird".

Eddie DMs him Tumblr posts that Steve does not understand. Eddie's also way too liberal with emojis, Steve does not understand what 🪸🥟🗿🫶🏽 is supposed to mean.

Meanwhile everytime Eddie comments and likes in The Wrong Way™ on Steve's page, you can hear Nancy screaming from her room like "DUDE! HE'LL NEVER DATE YOU LIKE THIS" to wherever Eddie is. Eddie just shrugs, Steve just said yes to lunch with him tomorrow so, whatever.

Completed Fate Stay Night: Fate Route!

My favourites were in order:

Rin Tokiomyevna

Shinji Byakuyich

Kirei

Rinita and Shinjito I liked from the first moment they appeared, but Kirei I was very ambivalent to until the reveals at the end! I thought he was just going to be some run-of-the-mill boring corny found family type father figure (like his scary aura would be subverted by being good at heart or whatever) and was mostly bemused by Emiya’s fear of him. Colour me surprised when he turns out to be the grade A sicko of my dreams! I’m so excited to see all three of them more/learn about them in the following routes, as while Shinji and Kirei have more minor roles, even Rin was largely Ms Exposition and just spent Fate Route taking L after miserable L.

Out of the servants, my favourites were, in order:

Rider

Assassin

Caster

Also: When he was introduced, I started calling Gilgamesh “White Gilgamesh” as a joke, because I was able to immediately clock that he was some kind of ancient Near Eastern guy but didn’t expect to get further in my guessing of his identity than that, and then it ended up actually being him lmfaooo

I’ve also been an arthuriana fan since my mid-teens and I really felt that Saber was a cute and true to spirit adaptation of King Arthur! It also opened my eyes to the fact that Arthur has many Yamato Nadeshiko qualities, much to think about. Obviously Arturia is twisted into a shape to suit the genre and medium, and was certainly not the type of characterisation I would have immediately gone for ( I also feel King Arthur could be a Lancer class too, if you know you know…) but I quite enjoyed her, as well as the preservation of the concept of the Holy Grail being like terrifying and inhuman.

so what i'm putting together from osmosis and the wonderful livebloggers and the incredible arkanis english updates account is something like this

Prefeito Jota: Hello, I'd like to hire you to investigate what happened in my city/island(?)!

Bagi, who was previously "invited" to a mysterious island/city by its elected official, subsequently trapped on the mysterious island/city, investigated the deep mysterious history of the island/city, came to no conclusions, found her brother after years of searching, was separated once again from her brother, gained and lost an adopted daughter (possibly to being kidnapped by the island government, which was evil), gained and lost a demon fiancée (possibly to being dragged back to hell, so there's no way to find her), gained and lost a close demon friend to dubious circumstance (did he die for his children? is he with skeppy in the gas station?), and has had an unknown amount of time to process and/or suppress all of this: Sure! :D

fell in love with one of those spider body plushies i saw of mayoi and i’ve been ill since thinking about it

[salvadorbonaparte]

Moving to the US still feels surreal and there are days where I'm certainly anxious about the election and the gun violence and the general state of the country and even just the far awayness but I also know that I can't let anxiety rule my life
