Disgustingly messy and crusty sketch dump but I couldn't get my own terrible theory out of my head and ended up making a bunch of sketches about it. Also at the end a bonus dickbats and Damian doodle bc I was reading an issue of their Batman and Robin run (IDs in Alt)

Interesting Dune thing I caught while doing a re-skim of the first book: Jessica doesn't initially know that the Bene Gesserit have been at work on Arrakis until they get there and she meets Shadout Mapes.

Now, I don't know if this is canon exactly but I've always interpreted Jessica as being somewhat bitter about her BG education. While she always sticks closely to it because obviously, it's basically all she was raised on, it feels to me kind of like her marriage to Leto was more a means of getting away from that than a means towards gaining power for herself on the BG's behalf. Her having a son, while done for her love of Leto, was also something of a rebellion - even if she wasn't intending to create the KH, surely she knew it was a possibility deep down. At the very least she knew it was an act of defiance against them. But it still seems to me like she wanted nothing to do with the BG shit and just have her family and illegal son in peace.

So imagine her knowing her family is going to this hostile planet in a journey that's potentially/probably a trap devised by their enemies to begin with, and then on top of that her weird illegal son might actually be the super being she didn't want him to be-- and then oh fuck that fake religion she's sort of involved with is here too and her weird illegal super being son is also maybe their messiah. There's no escape.

not lestat likening killing nicki to the time he had to put his mare down after it got injured… the one he shot through the heart to make it shut up because he couldn’t bear to witness its pain anymore…

things that are not technically canon but literally supersede the written text by how immeasurably canon they should be: spirit!cole was there the whole time and followed solas and lavellan into that portal

me reading an aggressive comment in my ao3 inbox because someone didn't like how i ended my story:

p.s. dont take me too seriously

[blimbo-buddy]

what are the captain's motivations for crashing the ship in your rewrite? upon rewatching a walkthrough of the mobile game i felt it was implied it had something to do with how no one on the crew besides maybe the nurse seemed to really like or respect him/jim outright bullying him, and since you've given me an excuse to think about these characters in depth i'm curious

I would actually like to keep a bit of that whole “Jim bullying him” & “Nurse seeming to be the only one to really care about him” thing in just a teeny bit. But generally I have a rough idea that for sure I’m going to do a lot of reworking to based on where the story goes

And that’s the idea of tackling the subject matter of how companies refer to themselves like a family and (likely) subsequently tackling the family unit’s endorsed/ignored downsides and criticizing both instances mentioned. I do also want to do this as a tiny jab at the mw fandom's insertion of the characters into family dynamics

For whatever reason, Captain has a lot of attachment to the concept that his Crew is his family, his people to “love and protect and stay together with” . To be their papa bear.

This comes from one of the company’s motto's that, “A crew is like a family, love and help them like it!”

Perhaps he has some horrible attachment issues on top of this

I may also suggest that Earth is having a lot of layoff problems with jobs and the company they work for is no different

Maybe a second predicted great depression but that'll have to be figured out a bit. Life just isn't good back on Earth

In the case for the company though, a mass layoff will ensue that affects thousands of workers. This is what Captain is informed of by HR

Captain doesn’t know who will be laid off, including himself

But… the risk is too high

He doesn’t care if it was just him, but he knows that some, if not all of his crew is at risk of losing their jobs

It’s too many people that are predicted to be fired from the company…He seems them out in the streets. Cold, hungry, scared, alone. Without family.

His crew is at risk, his family will be torn apart. A father in this situation needs to take control.

He was always taking control. No matter how much his crew hated it all, he needed to control it all to keep them safe.

His crew may not like him they may even hate him, but they’d be safe

More importantly, they’d be together

But… he can’t financially support them all. He can’t help them all. God, no. It’s all going wrong; this wasn’t how it was supposed to be. He would do anything for his crew, anything to stay together with them. Forever.

He sees on the screen ahead of him in the cockpit that the ship detects a nearing asteroid belt

It could lead to, at best, horrid injuries and damage. At worst, mass death of the crew

The computer’s autopilot redirects the ship’s course to avoid the belt and ensure they all head back to Earth

.....

Autopilot disengaged

I also have a rough draft idea in mind for this already rough draft character that these anxieties and fears pre-crash are exemplified by someone finding solace in his company and admitting that they never felt very accomplished, that things back on earth aren’t what they’re cracked up to be and they wonder how they’ll keep going in the current state that the world’s heading in.

I don’t know who would be telling Captain this, but it may actually be Nurse because as you mentioned, Nurse is suggested to at least tolerate Captain since she actually wanted to throw the party for him.

Though I would need to figure out how that fits into her character. I have some rough ideas but it’ll be hard when I already have a version of her in my mind that makes her more reserved (which is why she doesn’t share her actual name)

I'd also like to note that, had the song not been about romance, Breezeblocks by Alt-J would have been a perfect song to describe Captain. But alas

I finished my Dr appointment and am planning on not going back to class lmaoooo

Submitted my group assignment too, so I'm soooo over that headache and heartache!!

[mystmesstolemysoul]

Tell me why I'm supposed to be doing Zens route (and kinda succeeding?) but when he calls or texts me I'm like 'meh' but when I get even a snippet of attention from 707 I literally look like this

[transmasccofee]

last ask i promise and apologize hadhsh

referring to that last ask i sent...sure he COULD do that, but I imagine it would be physically and mentally exhausting. not to mention he'd probably never take the prosthetic off and hurt himself worse

oh yeah he’d be miserable, I honestly think he’d just go “fuck it” mode and stop giving a shit about anything at that point

Just finished the show a few days ago, so that's why I'm only just posting this now.

hand on my stupid heart flashbacks

this is a No One Knows AU & Full Hazmat AU where Danny ended up in the Ghost Zone & didn't go back into the human world initially because he thought he was dead. by the time he realized he is, in fact, at least half alive, he'd already been missing for at least 2 weeks. will probs never finish homsh sorry. i wrote this a couple years ago in a haze & just haven't been able to finish it because i can't replicate the style, which i find is what i love about this fic the most. it wouldn't be the same without it. posting the flashback introsーwhich are meant to be read between chapters/the actual plot, starting after chapter 1ーcuz fuck it. excuse typos & shit, i never properly edited it, as i forgot it existed immediately after i wrote it original description of homsh: Danny Fenton has officially been missing for over a year. Maddie & Jack Fenton refuse to give up on their son. Sick and tired of the police running them in circles, and the case getting colder by the day, the Fentons turn to their last resortーPhantom. 800~ words (full unfinished fic is 20k~)

-

When Danny woke up surrounded by thick, green fog, and couldn’t breathe without swallowing heavy air that was more like water than anything, he was sure he was dead. The portal glowed behind him, illuminating the pitch darkness around him in soft, yellow, warm light.

He almost went back.

Almost.

He was dead. His parents were ghost hunters. They had drilled into his head from the moment he was born that he could never, ever panic in death. That he would accept it. That he would not be scared. So he would be prepared to be brave in the face of death and would not become a ghost.

He panicked. He did not accept it. He was terrified. And so he woke up in the Ghost Zone.

-

Danny went back through the portal when he saw some ectopuses acting… strange. Like they had an idea in their heads. Like they had a plan.

Which was weird, with animal ghosts. He had only been in the Ghost Zone��mom and dad called it that, he rememberedーfor a couple weeks. Or, he had already been there for two weeks. Or maybe time worked differently and he was there five minutes, or four years orー

The ectopuses went through the portal and, despite everything, Danny went after them.

While he was busy reeling at being home, the ectopuses immediately attacked dad. Danny was horrified. Jack was overwhelmed. Danny stepped in, in a moment fueled by sheer adrenaline and stupidity, snatching a Fenton Thermos™ off a shelf and releasing his shaky invisibility. The ectopuses didn’t stand a chance. And when they were safely in the Thermos, he slowly turned around to dad, ready for the confrontation. Ready for the “what happened to you?” and the “where have you been?” and the “we’ve missed you”.

Dad scrambled to shoot at him.

Danny fled.

His parents didn’t recognize him.

-

The Lunch Lady attacked when Danny was mourning Halloween.

He’d waited all year. He made a costume that summer. He wouldn’t get to go trick or treating with Sam and Tucker this year. Or any year. For the rest of his lifeーor existence. Whatever.

The Lunch Lady appeared in the school and demanded in straight fury, “Who changed the menu?”

Everyone pointed at Sam.

Danny hadn’t known just how powerful ghosts could be. His parents never told him the specifics. Just that they were dangerous.

This ghost grew and her aura hit him like a hurricane, almost physically pushing him back. It was so strong that the students in the Casper High cafeteria seemed to feel it too.

The Lunch Lady was a much harder opponent than the ectopuses. She levitated meat. She used it as a weapon, and seemed to bring it back to life. She created weird meat creatures that grew sharp teeth and claws out of bones. They were mindless, attacking everything that got too close to the ghost. Danny would have run away without hesitation, if Sam hadn’t been in the crossfire.

Danny fought the Lunch Lady. It was a long struggle, but he caught her in the thermos after over an hour. When he turned to Sam and Tuckerーboth of whom he had to save due to Tucker trying to jump into the fightーall three of them bloody and bruised, he cringed. But a part of him hoped. Desperately.

Surely they would know him on sight.

“Wh-what are you?” Sam gasped at him finally.

Danny flinched as if she had struck him. “J-just… your friendly neighbourhood phantom.”

-

Danny didn’t know what possessed him. Oh. Pun not intended.

He just barely caught the Fentons leaving in the GAV, dragging suitcases behind them. He couldn’t help himself. What on Earth were they doing?

They were going to Vlad Master’s mansion for their college reunion.

It was a whole thing. But something was off. Besides all the adults reminiscing about the 80’s.

Danny sensed ghosts immediately but he couldn’t see anything. Unfortunately for him, Vlad could also sense him. It was two days of Danny staying invisible, and Vladーthe halfa? Is that what Danny is?ーtrying to kill Jack. Somehow, Danny managed to fight off Vlad, not turn back, and without the Fentons getting hurt. His secret intact.

VladーPlasmius, also learned about Phantom. And Vlad hated him. The manーghostーwhatever, seemed to only care about one thingーpossession. Of money. Of things. Of people. He was more ghost than Danny had ever seen. Vlad’s obsession was overwhelming.

Danny couldn’t believe someone so much like himself could be so disturbing.
