#he gets it a little bit...

[tubbytarchia]

i think the thing with martyn's react to Flightless, is that so many of the fandom is so hyped for it (as they should be!!! it's an amazing animatic!!!), that they neglect to realize that a lot of its symbolism/references are rooted in the fandom. yes, Martyn is very aware of the fandom, but he's more focused on the 100% life series-centric fandom normally, where as Flightless branches out into Evo, Empires, etc. and connects them all, something I'm not sure many other animatics have done (save for, like, with Hermitcraft). he's not going to be aware of the references/implications like we are, which is why his reaction is a lot more tame than what i think a LOT of people wanted it to be. compare it to his reaction to Evil Anvil's Limited Life song, where martyn gets really hyped up, because he understands what is happening.

i do think he was a bit distracted while watching it, and that can be disappointing, but also, even if he was properly watching it the first time, i doubt his reaction would have been anything more than what it was anyway yknow lol

Nods nods. Even excluding the non-Life SMPs included, it's still just heavy on symbolism and the ideas I implement are from my interpretations that tend to be uncommon in the wider fandom. Past the canary in a vacuum, there was nothing in there that most fandom goers would get just based on prior exposure to it. That said, the fandom specifically is the target audience, not the CCs, because I don't think any of them are interested in putting in enough thought to figure it out, if they'd even realize to. Which is VERY very understandable. And due to the imagery I use, I was scared they'd be put off, and it'd feel even worse if they tried to fake otherwise because they're sweet and reasonably want to retain positive vibes. It's exciting to get ANYTHING you create get reacted to, and I think I'm very privileged in that, but I've always been apprehensive about any CCs reacting to the Flightless animatic for this reason. Martyn being distracted didn't bother me whatsoever because my expectations were already as unfavorable as they could be, so I just found it funny and found honor in the fact that he reacted at all. But I do also appreciate the people who like my work that much and mean no harm in sharing them with the CCs

DP x DC prompt [15]

Danny accepts that because of his half dead status he won't be able to become an astronaut and he has to find a different way to feed his space obsession.

He decides to get really into astromancy (yes, the magic. He already knows everything about astronomy). He gets himself the more spiritual star charts, old surprisingly authentic tomes about the art and divination cards to go with it all and gets to learning.

Tbh he kind of went into this not expecting much but it turns out he had homo magus heritage from his Nightingale roots and he actually manages to call upon the power of the stars.

He figures he can blame the vaporized wall on ghosts.

Meanwhile, a foreboding feeling like cold shivers run down the spines of several magic users that they can only describe as "a child having figured out they need to switch off the safety on their mini nuke launcher in order to fire it"

The JLD is scrambling to locate the source of the surge in magic power before someone with bad intentions can get there.

My favorite thing about Annabeth is her wardrobe.

Cause like, Rick simplifies her clothes in a way a man would, and you can tell.

Cause in EVERY book, from The Lightning Thief to Chalice, she’s in the goddamn CHB shirt. With like some shorts or cargo pants. Nothing more, nothing less.

He’s made improvements over the years, giving her some other clothes. But he’ll always come back to old faithful.

Like, he most definitely did it on accident, but he made her so Adam Sandler and I love it

Danny commits to the Bit a bit too hard...

So! For the first few weeks after his accident, whenever Danny would try to help the people of Amity Park, he would be treated as a Villain.

No matter if he had just defeated the Big Bad of the Week or saved a Cat from a tree, everybody in town only saw him as a Monster or Villain to he feared and hunted down. Danny was really getting sick of trying to get them on his side, until Sam made a suggestion.

"Why not just...play into it?" She said, barely looking up from painting her nails.

It was just an offhand suggestion, but it stuck with Danny. Why shouldn't he lean into it? The people of Amity Park already saw Ghosts as Evil, and they already assumed he was in cahoots with the Ghosts attacking the town. Why shouldn't he just...play into it?

So he does just that.

From that day on, whenever Phantom was spotted he would dramatically monologue about his Evil Plans, or claim that another Rogues attack on the City was his own act of terror.

Box Ghost destroys the towns Warehouses? It was on his orders.

Ember mind controls masses of Teenagers? All part of his Plans somehow.

Every Adult in Town is kidnapped by Young Blood? Danny gave them over to a friend as a Gift.

He crafts an identity for himself as the most Vile and Horrible Ghost that has ever attacked the City, using his own infamy to cement his legend even more firmly. The town only sees a Monsterous Villain, who has eveded capture near effortlessly for months on end, who constantly attacks their City and gets away with it.

Of course he still needs an excuse for how his plans keep getting stopped, and he gets it when his girlfriend Valerie becomes the Red Huntress. Before that, he just claimed infighting or the Fentons getting lucky, but Valerie becoming the Town's Hero meant he had a plausible excuse for how he kept getting "Foiled".

Val was suspicious, because she was not as involved as Phantom painted her to be, but in the end she had no proof of him faking his defeats. And she couldn't come up with any explanations for why he would do that in the first place. I mean, who would fake being a Supervillain? It had to he something else.

This did come back to bite him a while later, when the Justice League decided that enough was enough, and dispatched Justice League Dark to recruit Red Huntress and help Deal with him.

Coincidentally, that was the same day Pariah Dark attacked the Mortal Realm and sucked Amity Park into the Ghost Zone.

And honestly? Danny had spent over a Year proclaiming himself as a Villain who commanded Ghosts to attack the Human Realm, and he had heard about the Right of Conquest being Absolute in the Ghost Zone, so why not make it official? Why not overthrow the Ghost King, become the Ghost King, and cement his identity as a Villain while also forbidding Ghosts from entering the Human Realm without his permission?

He may have gotten a bit carried away and forgotten that the Villain thing was a disguise...but hey! He was still preventing Ghost Attacks! ...mostly. That's got to count for something right?

He may have let the Bit run a bit too far...

One thing about Eliot is he's gonna go so in on a grift. A wedding caterer? Get the fuck outta his way he's got two hundred guests to cook for and these canapes aren't gonna plate themselves. A baseball player? Fuck the con he gets a damn sandwich named after him. A supermarket worker? He's doing his full day of work AND THEN starting a union uprising first chance he gets. Sophie is "the grifter" but Eliot is the one who can match and beat her freak for commiting to a character so hard it becomes your new personality for the next week
