There are no more heroes.

Well, okay. Rewind a bit.

Danny has been doing the hero thing for a while now. He’s had a big reveal; everyone has accepted him (including his parents), the GIW disbanded, the Anti-Ecto acts repealed, and generally, everything is going great. Some of the A-Listers are even training as junior ghost hunters to help give him a break from his rogues! (Being Ghost King makes things hectic sometimes, and he just needs the extra help. Sue him!)

The point is, literally nothing is wrong with Danny Phantom’s afterlife.

And then Valerie Gray, the Red Huntress, disappears in front of his eyes.

Danny is baffled! She’s just…gone! Valerie just popped out of existence, like she was never there. But no matter how hard he searches in the Ghost Zone, he can’t find her soul anywhere. His core isn't broken in grief. So she’s not dead. Which is good. So then, where is she?

Some of the others come forward with ideas on how to find her. A few ghosts volunteer to go out into the mortal realm, an area Danny had declared off-limits, to see if she was out there. Danny approves it. He rounds up some of the friendlier (i.e., discreet) ghosts and Amity Parkers and demolishes the outside travel ban.

So everyone spreads out, looking for their dear frenemy and teammate. But it becomes apparent very quickly that something is wrong with the rest of the world.

There are no more heroes.

Every single living superhero on the face of the Earth has just…vanished. Villains are running amok; the countries are in chaos! Some aliens are invading Earth, mythical deities are trying to take over, and society is crumbling to the ground. Everything is on the brink of collapse.

Well, Danny was still there. And so were his people. They were pretty spread out, so could they just…take up the mantles? He also knew where to find the souls of dead heroes in the Zone; surely they wouldn't mind coming out of retirement for a little bit, especially if they couldn't die again. Oh! And that skeleton army leftover from Pariah Dark's reign might be useful in repelling those invading forces.

Honestly, there were more than enough hands to go around! And with the heroes gone, Danny didn't mind letting everyone out for a little break, as long as they followed his rules. They wouldn't stop the search for the other heroes, but hopefully, when they found them, the heroes wouldn't mind Danny's intervention too much. :)

In other words:

Someone fucks up, and all of Earth's living heroes are either wished out of existence or are whisked away to some far-off realm where Danny hasn't checked yet. In the attempt to figure out what's going on, Danny lets the dead run amok over the Earth as they search for clues. The skeleton army repels the invading armies, the souls of dead heroes deal with the world leaders, and his rogues and other Amity Parkers set up shop in place of famous heroes, trying to get the cities under control again.

Basically, they just do their best to keep everything from imploding until the Justice League and others are back.

(And why is it that Danny hasn't disappeared? Well, whatever caused everyone to go poof! only affected living heroes. Anyone heroes that were dead in the first place, or even just half-dead, stayed behind.)

no idea which doodle of sleeping shadow it is of mine, very likely not last. there's something poetic about tough-acting characters allowing themselves to be so vulnerable

and something that looks like you'd find it foraging in your backyard dumpster

it's sometimes so silly to look in the notes of a polyamory art/post and see people like "is this cheating art....?" when the characters in canon are all extremely close friends. i know it's not malicious because most people think of monogamy as the default and anything outside that Must be cheating, but truly i'm always like. guys. guys Please.

please think about this for like 2 seconds.

under what circumstances do we think this non-canon couple might hold hands directly in front of their canon partners. and under what circumstances do we think the canon partners might be okay with this. do we Truly think this is a secret relationship. do we Truly think these guys would sneak around behind their canon partners' backs when all of them are extremely close friends with a high level of trust and commitment to each other.

would assuming that these extremely close friends have actually communicated with one another Exactly The Same Way They Do In The Canon Source Material perhaps cause less despair.....

Why did nobody fucking tell me that the Japanese conversation between Sonic and Silver in TSR was thousands of leagues better than what we got in English??

Screenies taken from video: https://youtu.be/Qku_5yHwWPc?si=y-jQQW2F5Rbjxcui

There is no infantilisation of Silver here! No stupid remarks that he doesn't get "trash talk" of all things! Just Sonic being a lovely friend trying to cheer up his good friend (and won't stop talking about how he hasn't seen him in a while, how cute!)

I'm genuinely angry, what was wrong with this conversation that the localisation team said "oh no, we can't have THAT, it doesn't mischaracterise Silver enough!". The little detail that Silver is a little exasperated by Sonic's unseriousness is also very good.

They fixed Knuckles' writing lately, I can only pray the ENG localisation team wake up and realise Silver has a very tired following.

i applied for a job at a call center, even tho it was the worst job i've ever had when i did it for a year in 2014-2015. but i have no choice, i need a job. here are the steps to get hired. the wage would be between $16 and $18 CAD (minimum wage where i live is $15.75 CAD so it's not even a great wage)

send your resume + cover letter and hope to be selected

first assessment on the phone (conversation of about 15 minutes)

french test of 20 questions (only 60 seconds for each question)

english test of 20 questions (only 60 seconds for each question)

a "PI behavorial assessment" of 2 "there's no good or bad answer, we just wanna get to know you" questions

audio test of four difficult 30-second questions that are real work situations/calls where you have to read, listen, and type at the same time (2 in french, 2 in english)

if all of this works out, there's a 30-minute video interview with HR

and another final video interview with the supervisor

is it just me or its fucking CRAZY for a position that's barely above minimum wage???? like. what the fuck why is it so demanding skdfjbndfsds.

but then the dude also told me they received 250 resumes and there are only looking for 2 people, so i guess they have to filter people out, somehow...

Your little comparison between gays and misanthropists in the misanthropy tag which should be a safe place for misanthropists already proves you are a shit person. And a small portion? You are increadably stupid. The fact trump was elected is all the proof anyone should need that most people suck. Fuck off and stay out of the misanthropy tag you dumb cunt.

an ideology based on hating a group of people for a trait they didn't choose and that isn't inherently harmful doesn't get "safe spaces". that's not how this works.

therefore, to utilize the comparison in the post, which you have not actually addressed or debunked in any way, do you think the tag "homophobia" should be a "safe space" for homophobes? why or why not? if not, I repeat the point made in said post: why is misanthropy different exactly?

why are you saying the trump election is proof of "most people" being anything when ~0.02% of the world's population was involved in that on both sides (~152.2 million votes total out of ~8.2 billion people worldwide). in what world is that proof of anything regarding human nature as a whole.

So i finally got my hands on translations of both the Odysee and Iliad!!!

And despite originally caring more about the story of the Odysee i decided to read the iliad first and I'm so incredibly glad i did!

About 20 pages in and two different women are separately kidnapped and taken hostage, Agamemnon and Achilles are at each others throats, the gods are getting involved, Zeus is threatening to beat up his wife and Apollo is spreading the plaque.

Meanwhile Odysseus is somehow on a peaceful road trip and has a sleep over with the boys after a fun karaoke night.
