#i think it might have to do smth with the fact that with ghosts i can allow myself to be more loose

[spotsupstuff]

idk how to describe it but ur art style works so well with ghosts and just generally other creepy or haunting (pun intended) figures i love it

thank you! it's been interesting since i had no idea i could be good with That of all stuff jdlgksdcmlgjlk

[arolesbianism]

I <3 transmasc Wendy because it adds another thing to the kid who does not know how to handle anything being thrown into everything pile but instead of a thing like dead sister it's the prospect that he kind of likes having short hair and the idea of being a guy and it still makes him feel like the world is ending until suddenly the ppl around him are just like fine with it and everything is like cool actually and he melts over that too until finally he's just a normal baby trans person and can get back to being bad at coping with his other hashtag issues again

[caruliaa]

deciding if i want my text post about my father for today becuase too many would be whiny to be about how i get very terrifed anytime he raises his voice and thats prob not normal (which i already knew but yk) or a snarky "how come my dads on discord i though that site just pushed and agenda and tricked people into thinking theyre gay? that why i wasnt allowed it right?"

[ohbo-ohno]

i had this idea today- no worries if it’s not your style or if your uncomfortable with it but what about if Johnny and Simon have an established relationship already and have a flat in the city near their base. then bc there rarely actually in the flat they decide to find a flatmate to occupy it and look after it while there away. then they get obsessed with her and create a plan to get her to be a third- just like constantly acting like their both already dating her and eventually she is like “wtf are you guys doing?” and they sorta manipulate her into thinking it’s normal and that’s just how they act. (ofc they manage to seduce her and they become a cheeky lil thrupple)

i know for a FACT that someone on this hellsite has written about obsessive neighbors ghoap before but i cannot find it despite endlessly scrolling the entire ghoap x reader tag so!!

i read a (very soft) marvel fic yearssss ago with basically this premise and it has always always always been one of my favs. an established couple taking one look at someone else and going "we want you"? oh i'll eat it up every time!!

i also love the idea of the reader insert struggling and being Very Very determined to not ask anybody for help. ghost and soap have to find increasingly underhanded ways to like, make her let them fix her sink or smth stupidly simple like that. they (really just ghost, johnny's not so sneaky) disguise their very intense desire to help by just pretending they care about their neighbors

they'll bring you food, help you carry groceries, give you rides to work, like if there's something these two can do to be around you for longer, they're doing it. you cannot catch a break from either of them - when one isn't there, the other is, and most of the time they both manage to sandwich you

(ghost is absolutely the kind of asshole to ask you to watch his dog while he travels for work, only for you to walk into their apartment and see johnny lounging on the couch. when you try to explain the miscommunication johnny just laughs and goes "that bastard, he thinks he's funny. might as well stay now though, huh bonnie?" and you're not leaving that apartment for at least three hours)

[alishaaxo]

ok everyone can ship whatever they want ofc!! but this is just one little thing that lowkey irks me…

how snapes now generally-agreed-upon ship is him and mulciber jr 😭

im all for snape centric fics as i both love and hate him lolol…. but just really mulciber of all ppl 😬

like its not 100 percent canon but its definitely plausible (and smth i headcanon based on canon) that his interaction with mary macdonald can be interpreted as SA and it just makes me despise him!

i get that he was one of snapes only friends… but id rather make avery jr be snapes bf because even tho we have less info…. at least that info doesnt read a rape-coded…. like rather than the cool guys some ppl make “bruce mulciber” out to be, hes like a greyback in my eyes, a rapey creep who ppl only reluctantly hang with

i 100 percent get that other ppl can interpret it in a different way and think mulciber just hexed mary in the same way all slytherins and gryffindors did to each other… but my mind personally is so biased and cannot remove the belief that his actions had sick undertones!

lily also called him creepy and given that she doesnt think of snape a creepy (who would fit in a dark demeanour way) it just makes me think she meant it in a leery creepster way

ESPECIALLY as i just saw that in i think ootp… during karkaroff’s trial spilling secrets its said he specialised in the imperius curse and he must’ve learned that early on and used mary and a test subject to do whatever he wants…. anything :((

id take evan rosier, regulus, etc just anyone but him fr!!

like for example, i vibe w the idea of him and regulus, who he despised based on the fact he was a mini-clone of sirius (and we all know how looks blinds him to the fact that ppl can be different COUGH COUGH HARRY) but eventually reggie gets through to him, cracking him after lily rejects his friendship and they begin bonding over their hatred of the marauders and start delving deep into obsession and glorification of voldie (until they both separately realise he sucks)

and also a pre-DE snape with a secret library friendship-turned-love with charity burbage only for him to then ghost her after lily turned away from him (as hes now turning his own back on all things good and putting all his faith in voldie’s might and power) only for them to slowly bond again when she becomes a teacher like 4-ish years after him and they’re very awkward exes who slowly have a sense of comradery again…. until she gets murdered in front of him!! and her saying “severus please!” definitely implies some sort of familiarity, possibly that goes beyond just teachers.

also…. during canon snape/sirius actually goes SO hard! i dont care much for the ship during hogwarts because sirius literally bullies him, sends him to death almost, and snape despises him….

…but the toxicity of all the marauder characters who didnt die being just a young mentally as the ones who didnt means SO much to me! and like in canon, they didnt really grow beyond childish taunts but fanfics can really make them grow and change so much!! this i love just in general, like regarding remus, sirius, and snape, especially the last two…. like they just stay the same and that makes fics where they actually do change and confront their issues genuinely so intriguing!!

((also snape and sirius comparing their toxic loves that go beyond platonic but also are super friendly and co-dependent regarding lily and james…))

[rodolfoparras]

from the rdr2 ask

r is reader akssjsjs 😭 and rdr2 is like 1899 wild west cowboys set in usa (for context)

I'm thinking r gets up on his horse (who's actually a horse of one of the men he killed), he looks back once again, the white of his eyes standing out in the blood covering his face, and catches gaz's eyes. it's a silent goodbye, but not one on a good note. r gallops away from where the 141 has set camp, not knowing where to go next or even where he's going to get a meal or sleep tonight. honestly he fall asleep right now from how exhausted he is from the fight and the lack of sleep the last few days, but he keeps riding till he's certain no one has followed him, then finds a nice tree to pass out under.

meanwhile, back at the camp, gaz is at a loss of words. people he considered family, people that Are his family lied to him about you. worse than that, they left you out to die, after gaz had been the one to save you. when they first met you, you were apprehensive of tagging along w them, not wanting to be a burden, and gaz reassured you it's okay. and all he can think of now is how you must think that gaz's promises meant nothing. and he knows you'd be right to think so when the people he trusted the most have betrayed him like this. he asks them one simple thing, "why?" he didn't shout or look angry, but everyone knew better than to think he wasn't. he was fuming.

"kyle, you can't expect us to just up and trust some stranger. you know we have plans in motion, plans that we can't risk anyone else getting the wind of..." price spoke up.

"so you left him to die? if that is what we are now, I want no part of it," gaz said, and he could almost see soap's eyes bulge out at the insinuation of leaving. they might be wary of outsiders, but they still love gaz dearly. and gaz loves them too, and deep down he knows he could never really leave them.

"i wasn't going to wait for him to slit our throats in our sleep, yeah?" soap said in frustration and a second later price and ghost had to break gaz's grip on his throat, pushing them apart.

"why do you even care so much, eh? in love w the lad or what?" soap coughs out, and the look on gaz's face says everything. first the knowledge of gaz possibly caring about this stranger sinks in, then comes the dread of what they did to the man gaz cared about, their heads now hanging low. ghost tries to say smth, but it's too late and gaz is storming off, trying to find some place to be alone.

he settles down near the stream, he tells himself he has to accept the fact that he might never see you again. that is if you're alive. he's so worried about you, wondering how you manage the injuries all on your own, just one horse to keep you company, the blood soaked clothes on your back, and not much else. by god, he's so worried about you he could cry. and he knows even if he sees you again, you'll want nothing to do w him. he can't go after you. he can't bear to see the faces of his family, the people he asked you to trust, after they've all but stabbed you in the back. so he sits alone, and thinks and think and thinks.

he thinks about how you must've felt, when left alone in the middle of an already unfair gunfight. he can't imagine what that feeling of being completely alone in the middle of certain death must've felt like. but then he thinks about how you made it out anyways. always fighting death. he thinks of how he's seen you survive against all odds, cheating death twice in the time he's known you. he hopes that you live through the aftermath of the fight too. and he hopes to find you again some time. he hopes he can get the chance to apologize and maybe, just maybe you'll believe him. he wants to hold you, he wants to tell you all the things he wasn't brave enough to in the 10 weeks you travelled w them. he hopes he hasn't missed his chance.

-❕️

SUGAR THIS WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL READ IM BEING SO SERIOUS THIS IS SO WELL WRITTEN I LOVED THIS you can genuinely feel how sad gaz is for reader and how torn he feels being in the position that he is in it’s also very clear he absolutely loves reader please 🧎🏻‍♂️ BUT WHY ANOTHER CLIFF HANGER IM GOING TO SCREAM

[ohmygraves]

let me share a bit of my self insert details for cod, since i figured out i can write smth while i think about how to continue the other wips i have

with callsign "rookie", a first generation immigrant. they're the youngest between all the 141, and was recommended by laswell. still, their rank is definitely under both soap and gaz. a non-binary person, though don't mind any pronouns.

here's a few sketches of them (i made it to my likeness because, y'know, "self" insert)

the change in haircut is intentional as it should reflect my continuously changing hairstyle since my hair is a dumbass who can't make up its mind in how it should present itself.

i made a "relationship chart" to explain the dynamics of rookie with the other members of 141

gaz ⇄ rookie

gaz and rookie i'd imagine to be some kind of the ride or die best friend, which unfortunately often happened because rookie has the worst kind of luck, but just good enough that they get out of danger somehow in the last second. the kind of best friend that you could understand being so close because you'd known eachother really well. it's probably the case of them being quite similar in age (rookie is still younger though), so he took pity of them at first and happily accompany them everywhere. he knows how anxious it can be to be around something so unfamiliar and scary, and he understands how it feels to be frustrated knowing that you can't save everyone (he hopes that rookie can be more mature but for now he'd gladly sigh at their naivety).

soap ⇄ rookie

maybe because i view soap to be slightly older than gaz i feel like soap and rookie are more like siblings? i feel like if soap became best friends with rookie, he'd be too much for the poor lad. soap as best friend is a good trope but he's a wild card that he could show up at your doorstep either with a bong or a shovel, and i'm not sure if rookie can handle all that. he's a good friend, sure, but one that gaz hope that won't influence rookie too much because what is he going to do with not one but two soap at the barracks?

that being said, i think that soap treats rookie like somewhat of a younger sibling that he gets to pick on from time to time, but in a nice way. like he'd wear their stuff that he found on the laundry, strutting a booty shorts (and killing it) while he makes some coffee for himself as rookie hunts his head for sports since all their clothes get stretched because of him. or the one that tells them that price likes spicy in his sandwich causing rookie to witness price choke on a sub slathered with hot sauce, getting them in trouble. he takes advantage of their naivety in a funny way and he teaches them weird things. definitely gets him in trouble with ghost though because of that.

price ⇄ rookie

now don't come at me for being so overrated, but i see price as a father figure. if activision don't want me to commit fatherless behavior, then they probably shouldn't make him so dad material in the first place. that being said, i like to think that when price sees rookie's files and do a small "interview" with the lad, he feels like he was responsible for a new teammate. like mama hen finding a kitten and taking care of it like a chick.

he understands that rookie is very, very new to everything, and that's saying it lightly. being the youngest of the group, an immigrant, not to mention very naive made him pity the newbie, which of course made him go "dad mode" and teach them things from time to time. he has definitely been called "dad" by accident a few times by rookie, but he didn't seem to mind. didn't seem to enjoy the fact that soap's influencing them to act up too at times.

ghost ⇄ rookie

now ghost is my favorite (obviously), so this might be long. in general, ghost didn't like how inexperienced rookie is. they're in 141, working as an sas soldier, and they're going to fumble on their guns like an idiot?

preposterous, why did laswell let them in the team?

it's not like he has any say in it, and unfortunately he had to mentor them and make sure they're doing a good job (read: babysitting, as he would say), and it didn't make him feel better about it. sometimes i want to see him just grab the poor newbie and just scream at their face like "what do you want!? i can't believe someone is this bloody fucking incompetent, you might as well be a sea cucumber!" like this man would not hesitate to insult the newbie to the point that they're crying.

and he should be. he's not going to put his life in the hands of some dumbass who can't shoot right half the time.

of course, it'll take a long, long time for him to acknowledge their skill, even getting a small "passable" from him is worth celebrating. literal years to be close to him, share the fact that they're both fatherless people who used to live in an abusive household and maybe he'll start to acknowledge them (anything that's beside work ofc). little affirmation that they've gotten this far somehow even after such horrible things happening to them.

i only ever pair rookie with ghost and soap (or both of them together as a throuple) romantically, gaz is more platonic and price is more fatherly.

i know this is a different post from what i normally would post but if you're all interested in getting to know rookie more, feel free to interact. my askbox are open for requests or something a bit more casual, don't be shy. i don't bite.

DP x DC Fanfic Idea?

im not interested in writing my own dpxdc fic, i just dont think id write it so well and i wont be able to type for a bit soon, probably, BUT i do have an AU that might b fun? so like different universes, danny's from a universe that doesnt have soulmate marks, batfam member (or whoever else, i just like batfam best!) is from a universe w soul marks. this much ive seen before, ofc, and its not new!! but like, for some reason, the arm that has danny's soul mark (bc im imagining the soulmark as like, either the persons name or they can write on it or smth), doesnt work, like hes never been able to use it, and always has it up in a sling. but anyway, he also notices the soulmark markings like name or writing or w/e, all the time, but doesnt know what to make of it. his parents (A+) assume its haunted but cant do anything to fix it despite putting danny through multiple, traumatizing, ghost procedures to try n draw it out. As he gets older it becomes less frequent, and he wears long sleeves to hide it anyway, to avoid the attention of the bullies who still go after him. bc of all the procedures from his parents, dannys super used to being in the lab, and when he goes in the portal, it was almost out of spite. like, wow look, yet another thing my parents couldnt make work! and during that, he bumps the switch and goes through the accident. and then yknow, smth happens and he leaves his own dimension, either by accident, force, or smth else (maybe dan succeeds, maybe pariah shoves him through a portal to get him outta the way, etc) and he ends up floating around gotham either injured or just grieving or dazed, trying to figure out where he is. and he eventually realizes his arm works here too for some reason, but in human form its still extremely weak bc ofc, hes never used it as a human, so he still doesnt use it much. the muscles are all but atrophied, bc it likely only moves passively, when someone else manipulates it, or danny uses his other arm to do exercises on the limb.

on the other hand, the batfam member doesnt understand y their soulmate never responds and when they do write on their arm, it feels somewhat distant. When they pick up the mantle, they decide its for the best and only occassionally put something down just to check in, after hard battles or big events n stuff until on day, something happens and they feel as though their connection is not so distant. in fact, suddenly, marking on their skin feels almost like static. they find danny and recognize a mark on his arm EXACTLY like what theyd drawn, or their own name or w/e, on this weirdly disoriented kid

and maybe, maybe the reason danny can use his arm in ghost form, is because when he accidentally activated the portal, he bumped his bad arm into the switch. and when he got his scars, the batfam member got a matching set of ecto plasmic green lichtenburg marks all over their matching arm.

11, 13, 19, and 28 for the tav asks! No rush on answering if your brain is mushy 🥰

I got this ask like almost exactly 2 months ago and my brain is mushy but I do want to talk about Majexatli but I also don't remember if I've answered some of these lmao.

11: Weapon of choice?

Technically their weapon of choice is whatever claws/teeth they can get in wildshape.

Outside of wildshape, though, they tend to commonly use a quarterstaff. Interestingly enough, though, of the weapons they use they are the least used to using a quarterstaff at the begninning of the game. They learned how to use one during their druid training, but after leaving their circle, they really didn't use that skill as much and never fought in melee unless they were in wildshape. But both to keep up apperances and appear to be a druid and because they're facing far more melee combat than they're used to, they start using one again after the Nautiloid.

Their other weapons they use are a longbow (fairly straight forward, given they don't like being in melee while humanoid, a longbow allows for fighting at range + good for hunting and stealth), and dagger.

While the dagger might seem a strange choice if they don't like melee combat, they use it for many reasons. One being that they don't want to be defenseless if they're forced into close-quarters combat, another is that daggers can be used for non-combat purposes, and there's also that daggers are easily concealed and do allow for a more personal, intimate, divine killing when needed. The downside to the dagger is that they always have at least one on them and more nearby, but they're also a bit jumpy and hyper-vigilant and dealing with the effects of worshipping a god of hunting and bloodlust, so it means it's not uncommon for them to almost use a dagger on their allies.

Also with daggers, I read a thing that Malarites keep a minimum of 3 daggers on their person which is fun.

13: What are their thoughts on killing? Is it a necessary evil or do they enjoy it?

I think I might have answered smth along these lines, but a very key part of Majexatli's character is their conflict over killing. Because they want to not enjoy it, and they are a genuinely kind and caring person who hates needless cruelty or torture. Where possible, especially early game, they try to avoid combat whenever possible let alone killing people.

But, they do enjoy it. Not callously, they see the sacredness of spilling blood, they often feel there is some divine act in killing. And it frightens them a great deal. Majexatli doesn't fear that like, they'll become evil or heartless. Their killing is almost always for survival or defense, they believe in a better and more hopeful future and know that such a thing can't come about peacefully, and they recognize that death and life are inextricable.

The reason they're concerned is in part just, what was instilled in them. The druid circle they once called home was centered around Silvanus and maintaining the balance, but with a rather extreme interpretation of it. And while it's been so long since they were a part of that circle, being taught those things when they were vulnerable has led to certain things being internalized and they struggle to escape the internal critic in their head that holds all the beliefs of their old circle.

All in all, Majexatli is a kind person who would prefer to not jump to killing, but they also are someone who doesn't necessarily see killing as evil, especially when it's part of their worship. And they can't help but be conflicted over the fact that they don't hate killing.

19: How do you think they'll meet their end?

I mean technically they already have at least once. They were killed by an owlbear when they were 19, and while revived, they don't see themselves as having survived in any meaningful way. Majexatli is already a ghost, perhaps more than once over.

What is Baldur’s Gate, really? So many at camp walks forward in homecoming, as though the city a person who’s warm embrace is synonymous with home. I alone walk knowing I am approaching corpse. It has been 30 years, by my count, since I last saw this place. By the time I left, the Baldurian child I was had already died, now they have long since decayed. The runaway child died too, as did the shy teenage druid, and the young adult with a home and a family. I am 4 lifetimes removed from this place. I am not returning home, this is not my birthplace, this is the place that signed my death certificate before I even left the womb, this is the the birthplace of the first domino that fell and lead to every nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.

I think that they're likely to keep dying, in both literal and metaphorical ways. A living (and dead) Ship of Theseus, where they come back a little bit more wrong each time until they are worlds apart from who they were. And maybe one day they will realize that they're not cursed, but that the nature of life and time is that we all carry with us and are the amalgamation of all the ghosts of who we previously were. And they will perhaps one day realize that the weight in their chest is just their heart, the heaviness of their shoulders is just gravity, the ghosts they see are just memories.

For better or for worse, I think if/when Majexatli meets their end, it will be quiet and mundane, and even as they aren't killed in some blaze of glory or grand tragedy or noble sacrifice they'll realize they will be mourned and missed and loved.

28: Is your character the de facto leader of the party? Or do they consider someone else to be the leader?

This one I do remember I answered, here!

The short version, is they're comfortable taking the role of leader if no one else steps up, but they generally prefer for decisions to be made as a group and allow for others to take charge at times. The others see them as the leader most of the time, and they're fine with that and despite everything they aren't bad at it.

Welcome to your official introduction into the AU/Rewrite of DP known as “Gravewalking.”

This au will be tagged with #gravewalking au

(fun fact I didn’t know that was an actual word until like 2 minutes ago I made it up like 3 months ago as a play on Grimwalkers from TOH)

A little summary of what you’re getting into, at least with season 1 winky face (this is the summary i wrote for when i eventually post this on ao3 or smth): After an accident that leaves Danny with ghostly abilities (because no, there’s no way he’s dead), said creatures seem to be coming out of the woodwork, sometimes quite literally. The 15 year old High School Freshman takes it upon himself to keep the town safe since his accident is the reason they’re getting through. Oh, and he keeps breaking the lights. That’s probably not important.

–

OR; A rewrite of Danny Phantom as a fruity No One Knows AU and I’m changing his powers to electricity based. Homie was electrocuted it makes more sense imo

Basic info you might want: 

The AU itself: This is a no one knows au!!!! Sam and Tucker do not know. While they heard about the accident, in classic nok aus fashion, Danny is refusing to give them details and is pushing them away. In a classic Finch fashion, I made the death of a ghost correspond to their abilities. As such, Danny has electricity-based powers. 

Genre: Superhero, obv, thats what DP is, a little comedy, but mostly HORROR ELEMENTS!!! I love horror. Psychological? Probably. Body? Definitely.

The ghosts: While some ghosts will not make an appearance (most likely at least. Look man i'm still working on it), your favs are going to be completely revamped! Every ghost that will show up I hope to flesh out well :) except maybe one-time villains/cameos. I have created a whole system of ghost typing ranging from Will-o-the-wisps and Shades to Liminals (who are often called, ahem, Gravewalkers) and Lords/Ancients. Each ghost typing has their own abilities and whatnot (think like the ghosts in Phasmophobia). And since some of my typings would BUTCHER a few characters including Danny, ghost types can overlap :D For example, in this au Danny is a liminal banshee, and by the end of the series he’ll be a liminal banshee and [REDACTED]! This mostly applies to higher level ghosts since those are more titular than anything, but it will also apply to a few of the main cast of full ghosts.

The characters: The characters you know and love are back, but a few with a bit more substance. Team Phantom is overall pretty similar, just adjusted to fit headcanons I’ve inserted into the au. Vlad is not an incel anymore and now is taking Daddy Issues to the extreme! This definitely won’t have any negative consequences for Phantom. Oh, hes also like, 5x more manipulative. Danielle is back and BETTER. While I quite liked her in canon, now she makes more sense. Instead of going by “Dani,” she decided to be less confusing and pick a cooler name (her words) and goes by “Elle!” Pronounced like the letter L shes built different (its not because I keep reading “Ellie” wrong or anything). She is also physically the same age as Danny. She also has a dual ghost type, but you can wait for that I’ll do like a proper character intro or smth.

Season 1 (the only season i’m giving you a peak of rn): Season 1 is mostly a learning period for Danny. Unlike canon where the origin story is left to the intro until a retcon in season 2, the Accident is told through flashbacks, Daredevil style. Overall, this season will be the slowest, as it’s more for building the world, establishing characters and motives, and other stuff to make the next seasons flow as well as possible. Think like the Owl House where season 1 has more filler that progressively gets fewer and further between as it continues. This season ends with what very well might be a rewrite of one of everyone’s favourite episodes from canon. You can speculate what one that is.

Hope this sounds interesting. None of it is set in stone atm and if you have any questions about it feel free to ask!!!

VBA - Squiggle effect concepts

Taking a moment away from the Drunk FancyJanuary to post this

So, as you guys might've assumed by the fact there are different "sketchbooks" in VBA such as chalk, charcoal and plenty more, there are different types of squiggles that, due to being incompatible material-wise w/ FPM, will cause him a series of reactions depending on the material and his body's own resistance towards it. Mind you, these squiggle effects aren't permanent, as long as he doesn't succumb to it, his own immune system will release the squiggle out (as if it's drained out or smth, gotta think that one too, oops) he will go back to his normal self, though it will leave short-term sequels that could be washed out with normal squiggles (yes they spawn on these worlds too, just not as multiple as back at home) So I did a small concept list of what they are and how he looks when he's under the effect of each Now, about these effects, let me give you a brief summary regarding each. Though there might be some missing effects (ie. digital squiggles from what i can remember rn), but in the meantime: *Crayon Squiggle Effect: -Hallucinations and tripping +Fluid movement and reflexes, ridiculous enough to give second-hand embarrassment that drops good points of ATK accuracy Basically FPM if he did shrooms, the moment he goes touchy touchy, the guy's gone from this plane of consciousness It's not too bad...as long as it's not a super squiggle(?), too many of these could wreck his psyche a bit too much (though not more than Venos' doing...but whatever that's for another day) *Watercolor Squiggle Effect: -Slowdown effect and weakness in ATK

+Can perform psychic powered attacks (to a tier)

TAROT BONK

The effect is mostly based on the fact watercolor, as a technique, is a pretty…slow material to work with (at least imo)

*Chalk Squiggle Effect: -Weak defense and lower jumping, paralyzation is enhanced if you stand still for too long -"Smoke curtain" + Short-term freezing touch when attacking

Minecraft skeleton husks like

Also Frozono

*Oil Squiggle Effect: -Fleaky mobility,broken aim and lackey balance +Can take grip on solid projectiles (ie. mice ammunition) and retrieve them if force allows it

^Imagine having this on world 3, coming across a mouse and when the guy shoots you go like

grab

S k a d o o s h

yeet

That’d be kinda neat

Kinda shit counter towards the main three problems but eh, you can’t win them all sometimes

*Highlighter Squiggle Effect: -Inner acid outburst, HP drains as a defense mechanism to avoid further, irreversible damage +Can poison anyone that tries to attack him if they get to touch him

One of the worst effects you can get…especially if you’re a no damage try-hard lmao

And boy does it hurt

Don’t wanna imagine what a super squiggle would feel like for this one…yikes *Unstable Graphite Squiggle Effect:

-Physical deformities and clouded judgement

+Slight increase of strength and reaction (can be a – without self-control)

I really need to tone it down with the ManlyBadassHero gameplays, don’t I…

This one’s from the same place that one down there’s from, and if you saw who’s the antagonist back in my old post, you could figure why this one’s the way it is

Still, y’all fucked up Garfield in the Lovecraft machine, why can’t I do the same huh

*Paper Squiggle Effect:

+”Ghost mode” –physical body goes on a ‘catalepsy’ like state (he’s not dead, his vital signals are just harder to detect via simple examination); invisible to any other sketch beings, except for psychics/paper beings

-Cannot attack or get damaged physically; core is exposed to psychic/paper damage

Next level shrooming…nah not really

*Sanguine Squiggle Effect:

-Human torch, HP drains faster if you stand still

+Automatic sprint and jump boosts (can become a – if not controlled properly); any attack towards him will partially backfire onto the perpetuator by lighting him on fire (sparks will fly off him in order to do so)

Not as terrible as the HL squiggle but it’s still pretty painful…so much for getting the SMB fire flower

Also this one design and the next were made beforehand, but I have them in a different sketchdump so…maybe some other day I guess

*Charcoal Squiggle Effect:

-Senses have been swapped; he can now see the noises and hear the figures that come near him based on the speed they come to him –faster, quicker to notice, and the opposite- (remember the drug brownies guy that called 911 cuz he though he was dead and said he could “see sounds” and “hear colors”? Yeah, I took that and made it a legit thing here –mostly was when I revisited it, I was like “wait this is half of how the charcoal effect goes, let’s just make it like this instead” and boom, here we are), but his eyes can’t see the entirety of the environment itself

+Can turn outside attacks into graphite or charcoal HP, kind of like a power drain-conversion sort of situation (the later needs it to ‘taint it’ so to speak, hence the charcoal fumes coming out of him)

Why is this my favorite effect-

I’m considering doing an animation regarding that very 911 call with this guy sometime in the future…but I’m not sure

wait stay by my side is good??? and no one told me??? or maybe i keep confusing stay by side and stay with me lol

as someone who is all caught up on both shows - they're both fun 😄

this ask is from three days ago when I talked about how stay by my side (taiwanese show about a boy who can hear ghosts and the guy who gives him a break through touch) had a very fun sixth episode. i wasn't into the show that much but ep.6 gave me some heart-fluttering moments and cute angst that I neither took seriously nor disliked - it was fun for me because of the execution, the fact I don't take anything happening in the show to heart and because the show is short enough so I sensed a resolution was coming very soon 😁

now ive seen episode 7 as well and I can say 6 is definitely my fave. the conflicts are predictable, theres nothing really new but thats what goves you the safe feeling - you dont risk breaking your heart watching it haha. i'd recommend this in case you want a quick sweet watch with "cute silly boy denying his feelings" and "cold rude guy turned passionate suitor". it's the lightest watch i've seen in a while and it's my palette cleanser these days (everything I watch is angsty apparently and the angst supreme™️ trio of loa, of and dr hasn't even reared its ugly head yet lol)

stay with me (the og title of which I find real cute: "gege, don't run") is as far as I know a remake of addicted - a chinese bl that was Very direct in regards to what it's about and therefore got canceled AND banned and the main actors - banned from interacting with each other on tv or at public events for years; I thought swm would be a story set in the same universe or smth but as I watched the first episode I kept getting deja vu until I realised it's the same plot lol

it's about two teens whose dad and mom, respectively, got together - the boys claim to hate each other before they even meet, then fate brings them together without them recognizing each other and shenanigans ensue. it's about found family, finding common ground with parents you can't communicate with, about forgiveness and acceptance. the characters are very lovable <3 the crew is doing their best fighting censorship so it's very clear that the couple are not just bros. they can't, however, do what addicted did so many might prefer the 2016 show. I, personally, was not a fan of the mains in that - wu bi is too possessive for me in this version but his predecessor was Something Else

it's a very standard modern mainland china show. the reason im mentioning this is because of clips on tt and having not seen a cdrama in a while, i had the impression itd be more like a taiwanese or korean bl. the editing, dubbing, bizarrely cut scenes - nothing new in cdrama land. i was wondering if I would recommend it but I think I would, yes. some coincidences and plot points are just so beyond belief that you'd roll your eyes but it's not smth unheard of when it comes to asian dramas haha and I think you'd get so caught up in the angst, domesticity and hunting down hints spread around like easter eggs that you just won't mind the convenient plots (if you would care bout such a thing in the first place)

I'm doing a bad job at promoting this show but I do want more people to see it. the cast is perfect imo (..except for duo duo, I'm sorry but that bby cannot act..her face and aura suit the character though), the sets are all amazing (I like the school, I like su yu's home, I like the shared space later on etc.etc., all decor is very well picked and pleasant to the eye) and the moral of the story is heartwarming, its execution too.

you get passionate hot-headed athletic rich boy who's crazy for his equally smitten furrow-browed genius humble guy - they both value family and each other very much and are willing to do everything for those close to them. it's very endearing and their dynamic is swoonworthy, they're a complete power couple.

(also, spoiler, you get enemies to friends to lovers which is pretty neat)(the spark is there from day 1 tho)

EDIT: i wrote this before the final two episodes were released so disclaimer - POST FINALE SPOILER: if you don't like open endings, esp distressing ones, i don't advise you watch it now - better wait for a secure second season

[the-blorb-system]

Omg the ghost town sounds like something jexyll described as how dormancy presents in his Sidesystem,, like, and he knows cause he is like the inducer and controller of Dormancy in his group- he's like the Gatekeeper out of all 16 members in his group, most are mostly dormant cause yay they're very dangerous :D

There's the trauma Holder Sidesystem,, we literally know nothing about them and we aren't allowed to check either cause they're so severe,, but I do know one of their members who went by the name 'Hexagon' talked with luna about smth a while ago....🤔.... I wonder what they chatted about considering ✨severely dangerous✨

Our innerworld is like... I can't access shit most of the time because frontsealed, but I have this cool technical ability i call a soul link that attach me to specific alters and I can see their innerworld or the area they're currently in (the soul bond is much more than just that), which present like a daydream to me (I'm very Dissociated at those moments).

But I do know about most areas from most places and most innerworld of each Sidesystem,, cause like I'm a cardinal vein here along with 2 others

There's the front room who looks like a theater,, then the area between Front and the innerworld where there's doors where each main system alter's room get connected to with a door,, then there's a Gatekeeper you need to pass,, then another one,, then there's a gatebridger to help you go back to your Sidesystem if you aren't from the main group,, then I think there's the higher-ups room where luna mostly stays.

Oh I've been in kasen's Dormancy laboratory once as well to meet my father when he still responded

That's fascinating! /gen

Your system definitely functions a little differently from ours, but that's one of the biggest reasons I find plurality so interesting to study.

For us, dormancy isn't something we can really control. It happens more gradually and on its own, kind of like a once-active Tumblr blog might eventually kinda fizzle out then become inactive altogether. But every now and again if something relative enough pops up you might get... one or two new posts before it goes quiet again, ya know?

We also don't really have side-systems, as far as I'm aware, though I know a couple systems who very much do. I think the closest thing, technically, that we have to that is Four, who is a system within the system. But he's very much not separated from the rest of us in any way. In fact he's actually one of the most integrative alters in terms of inner-workings for the system.

Although we do have something kind of similar- we go through... sort of like phases of alters, if that makes sense. Currently, we're a little scattered, but just before that the most active alters were predominantly TMNT fictives. And before that the most active alters were mostly Linked Universe fictives. I'm not really certain about before that because I didn't discover the system until the transition between those two groups of fictives. It's just interesting to me because 5 years ago, I didn't even know rottmnt existed, so it would stand to reason that previous to Linked Universe we likely had groups of alters consisting of fictives from our most influential comfort-hyperfixations, one after another.

Exploring the inner world is also very strange for us. Maybe I'll need to ask for a more thorough definition of what being front-sealed means to you? I haven't seen it (I don't think) listed anywhere with common system terms, and I kind of just assumed it was like what we describe as being forever front-stuck for me.

What I do for the inner world is something I call "Inner World Projection" (or just "Projection"). I actually discovered it by accident. (It's kind of a fun story, actually! But given my habit of long writings (especially when put on the computer instead of my phone), I'll omit it this time XD)

Essentially, I can project a semi-corporeal version of myself to the inner world when I'm focused inward or in a meditative state. The more aligned I am with the concept of a body in the inner world, the more solidly I can interact with it. It's... surprisingly difficult to do.

At first I could only explore the Control Room (which is what we call the room that represents co-consciousness and the connection to Front), then the Forest. Shortly before I discovered the existence of the Ghost Town, I learned, actually... that my system as a whole, and especially the higher ups, don't really trust me very deeply, which is why I physically could not go beyond the Control Room or the Forest.

But! After learning that, Warriors, who sort of acts as the spokesperson between the higher ups and... the rest of us, decided he wanted to trust me and would advocate for me on my behalf, and shortly after I got access to the backyard!! Which was amazing! I got to see the pool, the lawn chairs, the deck, the playground, the yard... I even got to sit down with Amity and Luz as they were having lunch! I hadn't talked to either of them in so long!

Fun things 😄

basically the idea i had is.

nerevar and voryn were childhood friends. nerevar even got a scholarship to go to the fancy private school voryn attended (or at least, nerevar thought it was a scholarship).

around high school one of voryn's shit older brothers (i might have to rework that some are cousins or smth. its not realistic to have like 8 kids in a modern setting. at least not w voryn's background) rudely tells nerevar they know he's in love with voryn. its obnoxious. he's gonna do smth he regrets and ruin voryn's future. all because their mom tried to be nice and spoil voryn by sending nerevar to school with him. and this is how they repay him.

nerevar feels like shit hearing that and its close to graduation. he never gave his romantic feelings towards voryn much thought; they were always friends before anything else, but hearing that and that voryn's family essentially lied and like he now owes them he just feels. angry and miserable about the whole situation. already he was already pretty much always aware of the difference in class between them but this just makes it. worse. he was told he was basically just a childhood toy voryn needed to grow up and leave behind

nerevar would rather leave than be discarded. in fact he's kinda furious about it. he had plans to apply to the same college voryn was going to go to. instead tells a little white lie that he was taking a 'gap year' and just. stops contacting him basically shortly after that. full on ghosting voryn. he used to go to voryn's for the holidays and he doesnt even so much as stop by or say anything.

nerevar doesnt know it but voryn is kind of. destroyed by this. he can't for the life of him figure out if he did anything wrong. if nerevar is in danger. how to get a hold of him so he can confirm if nerevar is safe

nerevar meanwhile is just trying to figure life out on his own. picks up odd jobs. worked as a roadie for a time. traveled for work. was a bartender for a hot minute. anything to keep him busy and make him cash. compared to before his life is kind of shit but. he doesn't want to think about it. at least this his decisions. at least its his own life he's fucking up. voryn's brothers think nerevar is a shithead with no future who would only ruin voryn's life? well fuck it. he might as well ruin his own. its a mixture of running from his problems and his emotions and also likely a bit of self harm

he makes some new friends. weirdly. picked up vivec as a roadie. made friends with a smart guy in charge of tech (sil). met a very rich girl (ayem) while bartending. one way or another his group of friends ends up in the same big ass city he grew up in. by now he thinks voryn probably moved on and doesn't give a shit about nerevar anymore. after all he only tried contacting nerevar for a year after he ghosted him because he felt guilty and it was lingering childish attachment (wrong). ayem has a guest house in the big ass house her family bought her he and sil stay in. vehk stays with her tho bc they are banging. legendary matchmaker nerevar here getting some homeless nb freak a rich gf.

but eventually through one way or another nerevar bumps into voryn. i imagined it as like. nerevar slept w a guy at a fancy hotel and voryn is there for a business conference. nerevar is clearly hung over, clearly looks like shit, and is trying to just leave when he literally bumps into voryn on his way to breakfast. voryn is stunned but nerevar just tries to play it off cool like "woah hey its been a few years huh? nice seeing you. okay bye--" and trying to run off when voryn just grabs him by the arm and is like. no. nope. we arent doing that. explanation. now.

i dont know if i wanna write it. i dont rly have a lot of ideas for it. its just bouncing around in my head rn

i have this idea in my head of a modern nerevoryn au but. it might be ooc and doesnt rly make sense bc the idea is only half formed

[reanimatedgh0ul]

what gets me is the fact that valerie's room looks like this earlier in the ep and that danny later gets to see her room where all of this stuff is still out in the open

in that moment valerie's more concerned abt danny running his mouth abt her having to work as the mascot for nasty burger than him possibly knowing she's hunting ghosts on the side

do you think after danny left did it finally occurred to valerie that oh my god fenton just all of my ghost hunting research and gear lying out in the open like that he better not say anything and then she approached him at school the next day making him swear to not tell anyone like he did before

ik it's popular in fanon for valerie to not come clean abt her identity as red huntress until later on specifically in a reveal fic context but like imagine if she told danny abt her secret earlier on

danny's parents are literally ghost hunters i mean he's kind of the last person who's going to judge her for doing this and prior to this she was carrying around books on ghost hunting and had a sudden expressed interest in the fact that danny's parents hunt ghosts so she might have suspected that he knows smth's up
