Okay, so I know we have a handful of reasons we usually revert to when it comes to ‘moving Danny away from Amity for plot reasons’. While I was about to make lunch I thought of this one and now I have to share it before my brain forgets it.

What if the Observants get fed up? Like Danny has done one too many things against them and they are sick of it? He doesn’t respect them or their authority so he is a threat. But Clockwork is refusing to work for them on this. He’s digging his feet in and not letting the Observants use him, stating it's ‘for the good of the timeline’.

So they go another route and start bribing increasingly powerful ghosts to take down Phantom.

Only Danny has noticed a pattern with the new ghosts suddenly coming through the portal. Not only are they ghosts he’s never even heard of, but their only focus is on him. Eventually one of the ghosts that are hired or maybe even one that Danny has befriended in the past that has heard down the grapevine, tells Danny what the Observanats are doing.

And instead of grouping with his friends to figure out how to either take down (preferably) or calm down (Ugh do we have to?) the Observants, Danny in his ultimate wisdom… leaves. The ghosts that the Observants are sending are after him, right? So long as he isn’t near someone else nobody has to get hurt!

And so, without telling anyone why or maybe even completely bulldozing over his friend's reasons to stay, Danny leaves Amity to protect the town.

This idea could just stay as Danny exploring the world but not in freedom like Dani, but in an attempt to escape the Observants. Maybe he even bumps into her at some point and she is surprised and tries to ask ‘Hey, why are you in Hawaii?’ but watches in shock as he runs away from her. Maybe in these adventures, he inadvertently discovers another ancient artifact that he could use against the Observants but the information is threaded throughout the world. So he continues to travel and force himself to be amongst people so that he can gather more information.

Or this could open up some neat ideas for crossovers!

One idea is Danny becoming an omen of sorts that something terrible is about to happen. If you see Danny Phantom, you know that a really bad rouge attack is about to happen in your area. And the worst part is, Danny is happy to see that everyone is avoiding him. Not because he likes to be feared, but because it's for the better. And to his horror rouges are trying to hire him to terrorize certain areas. He's accidentally become a villain because of the constant ghosts trying to take him down.

Another idea is another hero catching on that Danny is being essentially hunted and is concerned. Although their attempts to reach out and help are not being accepted. Danny is trying to protect the hero from danger but they don’t know that. They just think he’s being stubborn. So to Danny's dismay, they try even harder to prove to him that they can help.

I dunno, just something different to think about. Please tell me if there are fics or drabbles already using this kind of idea out there! I would love to read it :>

May I present... The Soumako Bench Theory

Pivotal moments between Makoto and Sousuke as a pair I realized tend to have the same blocking? They’re always sitting at a bench.

Makoto is between classes and plans with Haru and Asahi, Sousuke is in the middle of the jog. They both take a moment between their busy schedules to speak to one another. Makoto summarizes the Ikuya lore to Sousuke even though he doesn’t exactly have to. Makoto even goes as far as to tell Sousuke he feels like Ikuya changed.

Here they talk about happy memories, relay childhood dreams, Makoto tells Sousuke he admires him then Sousuke tells Makoto about his surgery. And you can tell their friendship shifts because Sousuke asks Makoto to hang out again. Showing him he enjoyed their time enough together and wanted to do it again.

These are both moment of them opening up to each other emotionally. About their friends, about themselves.

Next time they’re around each other alone they’re actually watching Rin and Haru’s competition on a bench. Being at the pool it seems like they’re between swimming?? (I actually don’t get the setting here cause what… did they swim, change, then go back?? Idk). Anyways they’re both anxious about Rin and Haru, both reassuring each other about the race. Watching it together knowing how nerve wracking it is.

I’d argue even here too, the bench exchange with Haru. Sousuke goes with Makoto to take Haru to the clinic. But Sousuke is the one who carries Haru. Physically and emotionally supporting Makoto even at this bench here.

I think Soumako always being at a bench in scenes that seem to be emotional moments for their characters and their relationship is meant to be they’re like a rest stop for each other. They’re usually in between things, but when they get a chance to have a moment together, they get to relay their feelings and relieve a mental load.

Soumako are each other’s emotional "resting place" that allows them to reflect deeply about the themselves and the things they care about. Often sharing emotional burdens with each other.

Helloooo out of curiosity, how do you deal with hate? Like on or off anon? Sorry if you’ve answered something similar before but yeah. I’m just starting out as a yandere writer (inspired by you and this blog!!). I posted a fic and it didn’t even have over 200 notes when I got my first hate comment (not on anon). My fic wasn’t even on the main tags lol.

honestly the only advice i can really give is not to interact with it. discourse in any form is very draining and unpleasant, so while there is that knee-jerk reaction to defend yourself, you'll be better off just deleting the ask/comment and moving on. it's also much worse for newer/smaller blogs without established followings, so with a little time, you do eventually grow out of being an easy target for people with simply nothing better to do. just kinda weather the storm for a while and it'll get better quickly.

i genuinely do think that looking at the characters in homestuck through the lens of them being autistic is pretty important to do even if it obviously wasn’t intentional (except for nepeta at least) bc like. every character in homestuck takes some inspiration from early internet users. and a lot of early online spaces were absolutely disproportionately autistic. obviously not all, there were mainstream spaces, but it was a much less centralised place and had tons of mini communities made up of people intensely passionate about one thing which is a community structure that’s extremely welcoming to autistic people (comparatively- there was still constant ableism but that was true Everywhere in the mid to late 00s). and like all of the characters are based more on the types of people you’d find in those micro communities than on myspace. the Actual People who those archetypes were based on were disproportionately autistic and that absolutely carries over into how they’re written in homestuck, even though it’s unintentional. it isn’t helpful in every scenario and character obviously but like, i do think the fact that they’re based on online archetypes of what we’d call now terminally online micro community users and that a lot of those irl people were autistic bc in the early days of the internet being terminally online was actually extremely difficult instead of being the default- this was changing a bit around the time homestuck began, but the archetypes the kids and trolls are based on almost all date back to before then (the main exception being Some of the beforus trolls)- is something that can be useful to think about. it’s not an intentional thing, but it’s kind of an inevitable thing when you’re basing characters on 2005 power user stereotypes on gaming forums.
