#isn't the king such a guy

[radiance1]

Danny wears sunglasses 24/7.

So much so that slowly it's been ingrained into everyone's minds that he's never taken them off. Like, they can't even remember a time where he hasn't worn sunglasses.

It's just like, his thing.

Why does he wear them? Well, because Danny's previous blue eyes changed to a startling, glowing green that he knows the GIW would eat up and use as a reason to force him into their custody.

Solution?

Sunglasses.

His parents? Oh yea they went all in when he they found out why he was wearing them (Reveal gone right au babyy). They made them extremely durable; they can film audio, take pictures, take videos, see through walls and even track down ecto-signatures for whenever he's tracking down a ghost in human form, see through walls and self-cleaning.

(The ectoplasm tracking system is for when they aren't close enough to set off his ghost sense.)

He honestly believes his parents watched a spy movie before they built him these, but it's not like he's going to complain about it. The only time he isn't wearing them is when he goes ghost, you know as a way to not link him to Fenton or whatever.

So, Danny meets John Constantine while the both of them were on the hunt for a ghost who was causing problems in the area. Danny manages to find them first, the ghost in question being an animal who was terrorizing a place because it didn't understand the fact it was dead yet and wanted to protect it's children.

John Constantine comes while Danny is pacifying it. He watches as Danny calms it down enough to get to the babies and sends it to the Ghost Zone after promising it to get them somewhere safe.

John Constantine also saw his eyes, because he pulled his sunglasses off to show them to the ghost as a silent sign to trust him. John Constantine of course asked what he was going to do with the babies, and Danny just sent them over to Sam.

After that he decided to keep an eye on Danny because of his eyes. Which were the eyes of a ghost, and he was genuinely thinking Danny was possessed before that went out the window. So he thinks Danny is a ghost pretending to be human and wasn't able to hide his eyes so he wore sunglasses.

Danny neither confirm nor deny that.

So Danny just kinda followed him around until Constatine eventually made him into a contact whenever he was dealing with ghosts that he could peacefully deal with instead of just forcefully banishing them to the Infinite Realms.

This, eventually, comes to light when Constantine goes "I know a guy." In front of the whole Justice League, bonus points if they somehow come to the conclusion that Danny is Constantine's secret child, sidekick or both.

hold on, I saw the tags of the tattoo post. covid happened in Peter's universe?????

So my Hunt!Peter's fangs are NOT retractable, though @thistleraven's Peter's fangs absolutely are!

Peter has spent over a decade basically keeping his mouth closed. He's (in)famous for his closed-lipped smiles and pursed grins. When he does crack a laugh, it's usually either laughing through his nose or on the extremely rare occasion, behind his hand. When he eats, it's in tiny bites, etc. etc.

When Peter gets excited (adrenaline/arousal/etc.), and his fangs start producing venom, he usually starts talking through his teeth and swallowing a lot.

Most people (including Wade) don't consider the closed-mouth stuff to be anything weird. Some people have tics or quirks that don't mean anything. And Peter knows better than to call attention to it. (He misses COVID -a totally normal thing to say- but wearing a face-mask on the reg is just asking for people to try and peek under it.)

Spidey on the other hand, is MUCH more expressive. Something about the weight of the mask on his head is psychologically freeing. However, sometimes habits bleed through and Spidey ends up doing something that gives Wade extreme deja vu.

i think that majority of the people have the wrong idea about what was going on in sanji's head when he left for wci by himself. you are only partially right if you think it's cause of his bullshit self sacrificial tendencies. what he did IS a sacrifice but way too many people seem to think that one of the reasons he tried to handle it all on his own is 'cause he didn't think luffy could handle fighting two powerhouses/cause he didn't trust luffy. for fuck's sake, this man was by his captain's side when he declared war on the world government. sanji whole-heartedly believes in luffy's downright baffling and almost godlike power. he trusts his captain will win any fight he gets himself into.

he just thinks that he isn't worth fighting for. that he isn't worth getting hurt over.

the thing is, right, he loves luffy. he loves the crew. he knows the crew loves him. but he himself thinks he is fundamentally disposable. this thought is first seen in thriller bark when he tries to stand in front of kuma, calling zoro stupid for abandoning his ambition and throwing away his life and dream instead. he says "i've always been prepared to sacrifice myself for the others." and he says it like, this is all that i am good for. he tells them they have to find a new cook because sanji genuinely, whole heartedly believes he is dispensable. he thinks, that old man ate his leg to save my dream so i will die to save theirs. little does he know that he is so, so wrong. zeff is not some hero who was trying to save a kid he didn't know. zeff isn't a good man. zeff's choice wasn't a sacrifice. it was a choice. he chose to save sanji and bestow him with his dream. he chose to love sanji like his son. but sanji always sees himself as something that zeff or luffy couldn't avoid because they were fundamentally kind people who took in strays and were burdened with him, that he was an obligation they were trying to fulfill. he shoulders all this and thinks, he thought i was worth something when I really was not so maybe, like this, i can be useful.

but zoro knocks him out and he doesn't get that zoro was trying to say that he is indispensable, that he matters to the crew. no, what he hears is the crack of his ribs and feels white-hot shame because of course, what was he thinking, his life isn't worth that much. he isn't worthy of dying for his captain. he is weak and useless and pathetic. and because zoro and sanji are zoro and sanji, they never clear up this neat little misunderstanding.

now at whole cake island, he does the same thing. he knows luffy will come for him, you see, because he knows his foolish captain loves him. but he kicks him and screams obscenities because he thinks himself unworthy of all that love. he thinks himself hollow, a vessel of convenience. there are a million fighters in the grandline and even more cooks and none of them are even half fucked up and selfish and needy as he is. surely luffy will be better off without him. luffy can win this fight, but sanji thinks he shouldn't have to fight because he thinks he isn't worth fighting for.

#i love chill fantasies ouuu#i need more lizel & the king content#LIKE? what is the lore !!#i also need someone pick to pick the novels AURGH#maybe i just aristocratic characters tbhh#jeweler richard im looking at YOUU

ANOTHER POST I MISSED IN THE TAG HELLO

Did I hear Lizel and the king? :3c Did I hear... interest in the novels?

Take my hand. I'm taking this as an excuse to yell about the king.

The first thing you need to know is that Lizel and the king are Categorically Absurd. If you can accept this premise, I will share the lore with you.

NO FOR REAL THEY'RE INSAAAANE but most of that has not been revealed (in translation) yet. We know, of course, that Lizel is the prime minister, second in power to the king. We know that Lizel was the king's tutor and still thinks of him fondly as "his former student", Lizel's go-to way of talking about the king without actually saying "king" and revealing his noble status.

Some other things we know, some of which are easy to miss:

the king is young! He's about Eleven's age, early 20s

the king is the most powerful magician in the history of their kingdom. Teleportation or transfer magic is unique to the royal bloodline, but only Lizel's king can transfer whole armies

on that topic, of course we know that Lizel's gun works via royal bloodline teleportation magic! As a duke, Lizel is related by blood to the royal family from a marriage a couple generations back.

Also yeah, Lizel's position is duke. He's young to take over the position, especially since his dad is still around, but it might have strengthened his position after His Majesty promoted him to prime minister

because yeah that was straight nepotism. His Majesty wasted no time making sure Lizel would be right by his side always

who could forget that His Majesty literally said "This kingdom is worthless without you." (manga vol6, ch29)

literally what condition would their kingdom be in if not for Lizel taming this king??

NEVER FORGET THAT THE KING IS A (FORMER) DELINQUENT

Lizel is probably the only one who thinks "former". The king is very, very good at being a king, but he's still wild

The citizens love the king for being a former delinquent

There are a couple short stories and some events later on that reveal these things about Lizel and the king, but: they both have a sense of justice. It's easy to miss because it's not the grand, shounen protag style sense of justice, but very much the both of them use their authority to help people. They are extremely selfish, like EXTREMELY, but that selfishness is tempered by them truly just caring about other people, and, as nobles, they have a rather broad view of things. For Lizel, we see this in the way he protects and enhances Gil's reputation, something that impacts how he is treated, even going so far as to [redacted for spoilers coming up in vol 11]. For the king, we know that he runs a kingdom! This kingdom is not only his home, it's Lizel's home--it may be worthless without Lizel, but Lizel needs a place to come home to, and there's just a lot one can do with the authority and resources of a kingdom behind you, so the king will be a good king. He will take care of his citizens so that the kingdom can thrive, so that he can do Lizel proud.

Oh yeah and the king can sense where Lizel is via the earrings (THE EARRINGS. ARE SO MUCH. THERE'S A SIDE STORY I NEED TO TRANSLATE)

(Mickey Mouse voice) That's a surprise clue that will help us later! Don't forget the earrings are full to bursting of His Majesty's magic. :3c You'll know we're getting close to Something Incredible when Lizel and co. visit the tropics

grabbing you by the shoulders Lizel can be so at ease in this entirely new world because he trusts the king that much. He's not even surprised when they make first contact. Only one person could do something so absurd as tear a window between worlds and it's his king. THE FAITH LIZEL HAS IN HIS KING

and on the other side, the adoration the king has for Lizel. That's his teacher, his right hand man, the only one who can stop the king's rampages, the only one who can really keep up with him! They mean so so much to each other

Vol 6, the king mentions that he would have Lizel's father executed for interrupting his chat with Lizel if he weren't Lizel's father. As just a little teaser, don't want to spoil... being important to Lizel is a pretty good defense, UNLESS the king perceives someone to be a threat to his relationship with Lizel anyway.

Bonus knowledge: His Majesty is the only character who's NOT an only child

We've only seen a bit of their relationship, but it's one of the best and most fascinating in the series. These two men have shaped each other. No one else is as important.

discovered that a gentle noble's vacation recommendation actually has a fandom so now im binge rereading the entire thing (i forgot how much i enjoyed this series)

Guys, I think I found out why King Boo ups the ante so much in Luigi's Mansion 3

Okay so, Danny is a streamer. A rather small one, actually, but his viewer count is limited to Amity park due to them operating on a different server than the rest of the world.

Now, Danny has been exposed as Phantom, and the reveal went well and by extension, Vlad has been exposed as Plasmius too and they're on somewhat friendly terms.

Most of Danny's streams involves him fighting with ghosts, or exploring the zone (with a device thankfully able to survive in it with both Tucker and his parent's amazing help). Heck, some of it is even just either wandering around Amity Park or involving ghost animals of some kind.

Funny thing is, even though the reveal went good, he's doing all this as a human.

Somehow, his streams get leaked out to the wider world and some havoc is caused for a few individuals.

The Batfamily is so concerned and confused, because there was this kid? Fighting villains??? Then this same kid was also going into some place filled with what looked like some weird strain of Lazarus Water (it isn't Lazarus Water at all, actually, but they don't know that).

Meanwhile, Constantine needs the strongest alcohol available, because he's very, very certain that this kid is fighting with ghosts from the Infinite Realms and stepping into said Realms with no fear for his own life.

"And this here is where the Ghost King sleeps guys! 0/10 would not recommend waking him up, he gets cranky and I barely put him back to sleep last time!"

THIS KID HAS DONE WHAT!?

captiancap asked: I'd like to see any art you have of the Michigan Fleet cast. I do really like them. feral-engineer asked: For art requests: can we get something with trimmer? Maybe a hug, or baby trimmer causing problems on purpose? damnfool-of-a-took asked: for the art prompt request! Michigan Fleet, kid!Trimmer🔪👀?

Y'all are just too kind 🥰 I've been sitting on boatboy sketchbook scans for a WHILE not getting around to them, so here are some folks--some on boats and some not, some from published books and some not! :D

Rich and Trimmer never met each other as kids which is probably for the best because Rich was an impressionable little dumpling and Trimmer was a fast-paced, daring, precocious bump/bruise-magnet, like many fourhands kids lol

▴ THRALLS OF POWER ▾

Episode 1: Time (Teaser Scene)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is with some modicum of pride (and mild terror!!!!) that I present you this very first extract of my The Legend of Zelda animatic project called Thralls of Power, a project I have started about a year ago and I've been working on ever since (except when my computer explodes and then I can't make progress and I'm totally normal about that btw)

The story is set during the Child Timeline (aka: Majora's Mask & Twilight Princess), starting from Ocarina of Time and progressing from there.

Thralls of Power tells the story of a failed coup, of a desperate uprising, of figures of legend reckoning with their own agency in a world haunted by the remnants of the Goddesses who forged it.

While it is first and foremost a sincere homage to this series I adore and accompanied me my entire life, I must warn that this is probably aimed at a slightly more mature audience than the original games, and veers into more complicated moral grayness and realistic portrayals of war and politics than the series generally tends to do, making it closer to dark fantasy than the original games.

The first episode is about 75% complete, and I will be forced to admit defeat and only attempt to promise its release for the first quarter of 2025. The second one is fully storyboarded but quite ambitious, so I'm not even going to hazard a guess!

The full thing is outlined, but I'm not promising I'll actually do the whole story because it's quite ambitious and would probably take me a full decade, and I don't know if I have it in me. But you'll get a good couple of episodes at the very least!

It unfortunately will not feature voice acting, because coordinating voice actors would make this solo project very complicated and also I'm not a native english speaker and every voice actor I know that would be interested would speak English with a French accent if at all and also I do not trust that I can't find a decent Ganondorf and SO MUCH would hinge on a good Ganondorf performance that I think it would be unreasonable to even risk it
