Prompt 310

Shadow core Danny? Shadow core Danny with Hazmat AU? Indeed, with a hint of a twist. 

See that hazmat helmet beneath the hood? Yeah that’s erm, that might be his actual face now. It might be able to split open into a proper maw, as he found out during one of the early fights. He thinks it might be a shadow-core thing though, because Fright Knight has something similar, along with the Keeper. Who's apparently a ghost that keeps track of other shadow-ghosts, which, cool. Cool library covered in flesh, nothing spooky there. 

He mentions this? Because apparently even if all ghosts partially feed on emotions, shadow cores need Fear the most. Which, thankfully shadow cores are apparently more rare than he’d expect, so he’s not going to go into a territorial frenzy or something on a bad day, yay! 

But uh, he might… count as a ghostling since he’s only a year dead- in fact he’ll continue to be as such until he’s at least 100 years dead, since he didn’t die as an adult. Which in turn… means he needs even more fear, at least until he’s old enough to generate it on his own. 

So what’s a ghostling to do? Take a trip to one of the most fear-soaked cities in the world, y’know, just a little weekend trip every month. Gotham isn’t that bad, and he can stay invisible- mostly! What’s going to happen, he run into a vigilante? Ha… oh no.

I have a simple fascination and joy in the thought that, for the Ghost King AU, most of the time Danny is literally so normal compared to other ghosts.

Like, he’s a kid. He looks like a kid. Going by canon appearances, he is the most human looking ghost we see (aside from Ellie). Even Plasmius is more inhuman, which is where all the vampire jokes come from. Every single one of this enemies is off even in a human disguise. They’re not human, and people don’t expect them to be.

So aside from the implications of Danny looking like a child ghost, I wonder what other characters would think if they summon the Ghost King, expecting this huge monstrosity worse than anything they’ve ever seen, and getting a totally normal human-looking kid.

I’d be terrified. Because if horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that the most innocent and normal looking people are the worst monsters you’ve ever seen.

Like, what is he hiding??

“The moment Gale was alone he let his illusion drop, the false form melting off like tar.

His journal manifested in his hands, summoned from the ever growing void located in his chest.

It flipped itself open to the last page he had been writing in; notes on the eye and tendrils of Karsite weave that sprouted from his back.

The eye kept freely looking around before the rest of him caught up. At times, it seemed to move without his conscious input. The weave tendrils too, moved around with what seemed to be a will of their own. The charges he was undergoing both equally parts fascinated and frightened him.

What frightened him the most, though, was when the void in his chest communicated with him, overwhelming him with emotions and thoughts that were not his own.

Each time, it demanded to be fed, to be given the chance to grow.”

The Lang brothers really said: “The Cosmic God of Time and Space, a Eldritch Horror who is fuelled by tormenting people - a being capable of driving his lessers into insanity within seconds and able to trap them into a torturous eternity………is a furry”.

And as iconic as that is….huh?

I just needed to say: I LOVE YOUR ART SM

It's great and I am obsessed--!

THANK YOU SO MUCH OTL

My gut tells me you would appreciate this scribble 💚

[slasher-watch]

Can’t wait for when someone asks me how my night/weekend was next so I can lie through my teeth

How am i supposed to tell them I was tweakin on my bedroom over fictional podcast horror gays? No it wasn’t good, babes, I need to get put down actually

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

I want to write poetry

I want to write something profound

I want the blood that falls from me

And the tears I shed

To transform into paint

To drip a masterpiece onto a canvas

I had a dream once

Where I was begging for help

People watched but did nothing

Nothing would move them

Until I put a noose around my neck

I did not want to die

But they could only be moved

Once I kicked the chair out from under me

I want to write poetry

I want to write something profound

But in truth all I want is

For my pain to have meaning

I want there to be a reason

I want the cruelty to have had a purpose

I want people to care about what I’ve gone through

I want people to listen

I want to move people

But people are only moved by my pain

So as I lay bleeding

What I think of is not how to heal

But how to frame my blood

Do you think her eyes sparkle like that last embers of a dying star?

Do you think when her emotions overcome her, the licks of flames dance around her?

Do you think her enemies only see her as a column of fire?

Do you think her loved ones see her as a constellation on earth?

Prompt 172

So the team might be a bit lost. And a bit in danger. And were separated but have at least fixed that. 

But it’s definitely not their fault right? After all, you can’t expect anything when fighting Klarion! But uh, there’s something big approaching through the green and floating things, like big enough to make waves, and no one wants to get anywhere close to whatever it is. 

Danny- newly molted into his adult ghost-form- just wants to say hello to his sort-of cousin’s friends, and would like to also get them away from the deep area of the Zone where the beings would not be afraid to nab a living being for a collection or two.

Oh, oh, I'd love to see a snippet and/or read a summary or explanation of "Now They Are Everyone Else's Problem" ;D

Also, thanks for tagging me <3 <3 <3

No problem :D

“Now they’re everyone else’s problem” is the working title of another cracky angbang oneshot lol. It was one of those ideas that struck at 10 pm and kept me up til 12 writing it, as a lot of my other oneshots are

Basically, the fic is from Gothmog’s perspective as he and Thuringwethil pester torment help Melkor after he makes a fool of himself in front of Mairon. It’s self-indulgent memey crack to the highest degree, and Gothmog is not helping in the slightest :P

It’s like, a quarter finished at this point? Currently Melkor and Mairon’s inability to be normal about each other is pretty self-contained to Angband, but I’m debating on whether or not to extend “everybody else” to the good guys too. Something about Melkor and Mairon making Manwë cringe with the sheer level of their awkwardness gives me life xD

Hmmm, I don’t really have too many good snippets from it since it’s very incomplete, buuuuut….

This pretty much embodies it, I think.

[seph-on-an-irrational-planet]

I’m so so so tired of badass ‘I’m such a big deal, I’m a multi dimensional being. I’m going to shatter the planet in half’ speeches from the Doctor. Don’t get me wrong Ncuti sells it well, but the quintessential thing about time lords is they’re cringefail losers. They’re flesh-and-blood people who invented time travel and are/were so terrified of death and foreigners they did a whole bunch of awful shit and then their whole society collapsed. The all powerful custodians of history is a façade they ruthlessly maintained until it blew up in their faces. The Doctor left because of it!

This includes the Doctor btw. What is the ‘time lord victorious’ if not the doctor embracing Gallifrey’s cringefail ways? Gallifreyans are just people ffs
