The Drs. Fenton Crash a Funeral

This is a deleted scene from Neither Gone Nor Forgotten where Jack and Maddie aggressively crash Danny’s funeral. I decided it didn’t fit the vibe I wanted.

-------

“We’re here today in remembrance of Danny Phantom, a brave young man lost to soon in the line of duty. He never should have had to-“ Batman started before he was interrupted by a loud crash. Before he could think he had a weapon in his hand, and to his shock so did both Jazz and Valerie, what looked like a taser and gun pointed towards the sound.

“Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?! I didn’t tell you this was happening for a reason!” Jazz insisted and Batman felt anger flare in his gut, as if he wasn’t already angry that they’d BROKEN ONE OF THE ANTIQUE STAINGLASS WINDOWS WHEN THERE WAS A PERFECTLY GOOD DOOR!

“Eat lead ghost!” Jack said as the weapon in his hand made a sound like it was charging. Batman blinked and tensed more, ready to dodge since the weapon was pointed at him!

“Technically it’s not lead but-“ Maddie started to correct before Jazz and Valerie both jumped into action. Jazz sprinted forward shoving the fun down so it was pointing at the floor and shocked her father who made a comical sound and collapsed, Jazz kicked the dropped weapon away from him. At the same time Valerie swept Maddie’s legs out from under her, she wasn’t expecting it and fell, her eyes widening behind her goggles as Val planted her feet and levelled the gun at her.

“Get out! Go home! I didn’t tell you about the funeral how did you even find out?! You-.. Did you bug my phone!?” Jasmine demanded of her mother.

“We just wanted to make sure you were safe sweetie and it’s a good thing we did! Danny is our Son! Our boy and if his body was found it should have been returned to us right away!” Maddie insisted while Jack was still laying on the ground dazed.

“No! He didn’t want that, he left instructions for his body and he didn’t want it to be burned which is why I didn’t invite you! I knew you’d pull something like this! Because your obsession with ghosts always outweighs out wellbeing!” Jazz yelled.

“Sweetie, that’s not fair! We-“

“NO! You listen to me! Your obsession with science is all encompassing and Danny and I always got lost in the shuffle! You  just wanted us to be ghost hunters like you and you never cared about who we actually were. You never should have had kids and congratulations! Now you don’t! Because Danny is dead,” her voice choked up, she finally blinked and it sent tears down her cheeks. “Danny is dead and this is my last straw! You didn’t come to morn your son you came to steal his corpse so you could fuel your fucking obsession! I’m not coming home for Christmas now, lose my number I never want to hear from you again. Now GET OUT!”

The heroes had been about to intervene when the two girls stepped up and it seemed they’d unanimously decided to hang back to let Jazz say her piece. Now that she was done a Superman moved in, grabbing them both by the collar of their shirts and dragging them up before Jack (who’d finally recovered enough to try and speak) could get any words out. Maybe some day they would realize what they’d done and what they’d lost, but apparently it wouldn’t be today.

Sniper's parents are dead. The rest of RED help pick up the pieces.

. . .

Engineer is the first to crack in a game that only Spy knew was being played. His drawl is quiet, conspiratorial - “I take it you've got somethin’ brewin’ up in that noggin’ of yours?”

  “I have no idea what you're talking about, laborer.” Spy replies immediately. Engineer’s only response is a disbelieving hum, so Spy continues. “The bushman’s woes are none of my concern.”

  “But you’re gonna find out what’s bothering him,” Engineer says quietly. It's not a request, because they both knew Spy was going to pry, anyway. “An’ when you do, you’re gonna tell th' rest of us how to help.”

Young woman with a baby was told by the UC that she could stay, but only if she got rid of the baby and gave it up for adoption

Voices of parents of children lost to the moonies 4

April 3, 1976

To whom it may concern:

My son became involved with the Unification Church when he made a bicycle trip to California. This was about the first part of September in 1974. He stayed with them for a whole year and left to return home in September 1975. He left of his own accord because of his many questions that the church could not, or would not answer, and also because he knew his family was quite upset about his association with the cult. The church made every effort to persuade him to stay, even transferring him to their mountain camp near San Bernardino, California and making him a “teacher”. My son now says that he believes his year with the Unification Church was one of the worst things that has ever happened to him, and the worst part of it, he feels, is that he persuaded other young people to join it. He wants to completely forget the experience, but states that if anyone wanted to have him answer any questions about it he would do so.

There are three things in particular that my son observed while with the cult which he feels should have some investigation.

1. During his entire time with the Unification Church, my son saw no sign of any charitable work being done by the church. It is true that the young people often earn hundreds of dollars a day selling their flowers and candy, but apparently all of the money is being spent to meagerly support the young people, to support the church leaders in a lavish fashion, and to buy property for the church. My son feels that a full investigation of the finances of the Unification Church by the Internal Revenue Department [is needed]. No explanation or statement on how the money is spent is given to the members of the Unification Church. He questions their “tax free status”.

2. There are apparently many illegal aliens in the group.... Germans, French, Japanese, etc. At one time when my son was in the California mountain camp there was a rumor that the Immigration authorities were on their way up to the camp. Every last foreign member of the camp “took off” for a long walk in the mountains and told my son to “handle the matter”. They didn’t explain to him what they wanted him to say or do, and at that point he really began to ask himself what he was doing in a situation like that. He couldn’t see himself lying in order to “handle the matter”. All the foreign members of the cult should be thoroughly checked out by the Immigration authorities.

3. Just before he left the cult, my son was at the Huntington Drive house of the cult in Los Angeles. While there, a young woman with a baby came into the group and wanted to stay and join them. She was told that she could stay, but only if she got rid of the baby and gave it up for adoption. My son even tried arguing with the Japanese leader of the group about the matter, but they insisted that the young woman had to give up the baby if she wanted to stay. For a cult that preaches “family” this does not make any sense, and my son viewed it as the final unanswered question to make him leave the cult. If such a thing is not illegal, it certainly does not fall within any kind of Christian morality.

My son left the cult without telling them that he wouldn’t return, although he knew that he would not go back. He told them he was going home on a “visit” and they even gave him money to buy a ticket back, which he returned to them once he arrived home. In other words, he really didn’t feel that he could leave of his own free will, it was a bad experience for him. We hope something can be done to prevent others from having such an experience.

How Concerned Citizens Drove a Neo-Nazi Out of Rural Maine

Christopher Pohlhaus planned to build a fascist training compound in the woods of rural Maine. The local journalists, veterans, lumberjacks, and policymakers weren't having it.

Pohlhaus, 37, is a former U.S. marine, an itinerant tattoo artist, and a hardcore white-supremacist influencer. He is loud and hostile, and proud to be both. His voice is pitched surprisingly high, and he has a slight Southern drawl. He has a large body and small bald head; a blue-black tattoo crawls up the right side of his face, from his chin to his forehead. Over the years, Pohlhaus has collected thousands of social media followers, who know him by his nickname: Hammer.

Hammer had been living in Texas for a few years when, in March 2022, he bought the land in Maine. He told his followers that he was going to use it to build a haven, operational center, and training ground for white supremacists.

もともとは10年ほど前にTumblrにすごくハマっていて。いろんな人をフォローしたらかっこいい写真や色が洪水のように出てきて、もう自分で絵を描かなくて良いじゃん、ってなったんです。それで何年も画像を集めていって、そこで集まった色のイメージやモチーフ、レンズの距離感など画面構成を抽象化して、いまの感覚にアウトプットしています。画像の持つ情報量というものが作品の影響になっていますね。
