#you can pry this headcanon from my cold dead ghost hands.

Headcanon that whenever Kitty gets upset and hides behind something, the Captain and/or Pat will recreate that scene from "Mamma Mia!" and start singing "Chiquitita" until she cheers up/joins in

I am SO normal about Jason Todd and all the little ways his ptsd is depicted in both canon and fanon. Totally. not

Ghost definitely owns an ipod classic, and a pair of old wired earbuds. And he absolutely drops into a site with It’s The End Of The World As We Know It by R.E.M playing in his ear.

Not that anyone would know though, with the balaclava over his head, and those little dad glasses hiding the feral spark in his eye.

COD Sexuality HCs for Gay Month

(Modern Warfare Reboot only for this one, Black Ops and Ghosts coming soon)

(if you disagree with any of these you're homophobic)

(not a single one of them is capable of being straight)

• Simon Ghost Riley: First of all this man is aro-ace spec, demisexual/demiromantic perhaps (what? no. im not projecting). Man kisser. He likes boys.

• John Soap MacTavish: That's a bisexual if I've ever seen one. Slight preference towards men, but for the most part, if he thinks you're attractive he'll hit on you. Man or woman, doesn't matter. I don't think I need to say much here. He's just a bisexual man, case closed.

• Kyle Gaz Garrick: Also bisexual, but I'm gonna say he's a bit of a ladies man. I just get that vibe from him. He is dancing with all the girls in the club, and they are eating it up.

• John Price: There's one of two options here. Gay, and Straight. I'm sorry, I can not see an in between. I don't know why. I think it's just one or the other here. He's either the gayest man you've ever seen (bear btw), with a husband at home, or he's very respectfully a straight man with a wife at home.

• Alex Keller: Golden retriever bisexual. Case closed. No preference. Might actually be pansexual but doesn't care enough to look into it. He likes whoever, and when he likes them, he's the fucking sweetest man ever about it. He's incredibly romantic. I have strong feelings about this one. Pry this headcanon straight out of my cold dead hands I dare you.

• Farah Karim: I also get demisexual/demiromantic vibes from her. I don't think she's even worried about finding a partner, tbh. She is very devoted to the ULF, and outside of that doesn't make it a priority to find a partner. As for gender preference, I don't think she has one. Very much so 'I'll end up with whoever I end up with and I'm gonna love them' vibes.

• Alejandro Vargas: Raging bisexual. So many bisexuals but you know I'm right. Look at him, and then look at Rudy, and tell me they're not married. As for why he's bisexual and not gay? Idk? Vibes. You tell me.

• Rodolfo Rudy Parra: Gay your honor!! Gay!! Gay, and married to Alejandro. That's it. He crushed on Alejandro for most of his young adulthood. He's still crushing on Alejandro.

• Valeria Garza: Lesbian! She doesn't care for men. Very 'fuck the patriarchy' as well imo. Very proud about who she is, though I don't think she advertises it.

• Phillip Graves: Homosexual. Gay man. Boy kisser. Extremely closeted though, even well into adulthood. Being brought up in the south, I think he was definitely raised Christian. He was also raised in a very conservative small town. Like, the closest Walmart is an hour away typa small town. So he's got a lot of shit to work through internally. I think he even has an ex-wife that he was never truly in love with. You couldn't pry this one out of my cold, dead, gay, country boy hands if you tried. I will never stop pushing the gay graves agenda.

- Anyway that's all for now, if you disagree that's fine, I don't care these are just my thoughts. I don't know shit about shit! So take these with a grain of salt. As always. -

Time for all of my current autistic headcanons because I’ve got more and I need to share:

(Not including characters like Brennan from Bones who are as canon as you can get without it being said flat out in the show/movie/whatever.)

Maddox- hsmtmts

Big Red- hsmtmts

Anya Jenkins- Buffy The Vampire Slayer (will discuss in length how she is so autistic)

Cristina Yang- Grey’s Anatomy (will also discuss this in length I have so many thoughts) (she’s also canonically dyslexic)

Arizona Robbins- Grey’s Anatomy

Sam- Ghosts (U.S. not UK I haven’t seen the uk version. This one is purely a vibe I can’t explain)

Wednesday Addams (specifically Wednesday from the Netflix series, on the fence on other Wednesday iterations, just because of who the character is and her family and and her life and interests.)

(I have a very strong opinion on this one and would discuss it in length bc Wednesday series Wednesday is one of the most autistic characters ever.)

Robin Buckley- Stranger things (although I also strongly see her as just having ADHD, but I love the autism headcanon for her so either works)

Nancy Wheeler- Stranger Things (you can pry this from my cold dead hands. Also OCD for her cause I saw this edit that went into detail on this and I absolutely agree. I think that one Nancy character analysis slide show talks about OCD too but idk.)

Some honorable mentions (I‘m deciding on my opinion and need thoughts from others):

Meredith Grey- Grey’s Anatomy

(I don’t know, bc there’s a lot to unpack there, but I sort of think so so if anyone has opinions or thoughts on this please let me know!)

Tara Maclay- Buffy The Vampire Slayer (I would’ve included this one in my head canons bc she so is but also she feels like maybe she just has an anxiety disorder and a messed up family and it’s less she’s got autism. But she could have all three honestly I’m not sure. But I love her sm.)

Gaz/Ghost/Soap Headcanons 

- Was most definitely a “Character A fell first, but Character B (and C) fell harder”. Ghost isn’t the type to really seek out romantic relationships save for the odd one night stand in some random city he won’t remember in the morning. But that doesn’t mean he’s *blind*, and he’s more than aware of the underlying attraction he has towards Kyle and Johnny. They’re both *very* handsome, and you’d have to be a bit blind in order to ignore that, but he doesn’t quite expect that attraction towards them to go anywhere beyond late night fantasies in the safety of his bed. 

- They all just sorta,,,stumbled into a relationship with each other at the same time. There’s no “well, who started dating who?” because they’d like to know as well 

- Pillow princess Ghost. 

- They each have such different personalities that they tend to clash when they’re back at their shared/kinda not shared flat. it doesn’t get *bad*, but sometimes it’s hard living with two other people no matter how much you love them. 

- Gaz hates mess. Ghost is okay with managed clutter. Soap will throw his dirty tank top on the floor next to their bed, and Ghost has to restrain Gaz from killing him. 

- You can pry the “Ghost can cook” headcanon out of my cold dead hands. That man is picky as hell, and he’s traveled the world enough to know good food when he sees it. 

- Gaz is better at baking, and Soap is really good at making soup for some reason. 

- Price is just as confused with their relationship as they are, but he’s happy they’re found some sort of peace outside of the field. 

- That doesn’t mean he’ll take sides when they’re having an argument. 

- I hc Ghost having major anxiety issues, so Gaz and Soap understand that going to crowded places runs his nerves. He always feels bad whenever he can’t go to certain places with them, but they assure him that it’s *fine*. They love him either way. 

- Soap takes up knitting for some reason, and Gaz always reminds him to take a break and eat something when he’s hyperfocusing a bit *too* hard on a current project. 

- Cuddle piles. So many cuddle piles. Ghost is the biggest, and so he sleeps in the middle. Sometimes, they swap depending on who had a roughest day. 

- None of them get married, but they *do* get matching tattoos.

- They’re all used to waking up at ungodly hours in the morning, so they swap who gets to make breakfast in the morning. It’s also a very nice time to sit outside and watch the sunrise together. 

- All the kids in both Gaz and Soap’s family love Ghost. Soap’s niece barely acknowledges him in a rush to hug Ghost’s leg. 

- Ghost who never thought he’d have any sort of family, and now he has two different families to celebrate every holiday with. And don’t even get him *started* on his partners. 

- Soap and Gaz having weekly date nights where they go out and catch a movie together. Ghost likes to stay in, and relax. 

[9haharharley1]

I'mma keep it coming with I wanna see your head canons for Danny tbh I wonder if we're similar about the boy. So I guess 002

How I feel about this character:

I love him, I really do! I had such a crush on Danny when I was a teen, made worse (or better, idk) by the fact that when the show aired, I was also just entering high school. So it was one of those, "oh look! A socially awkward teen also has to deal with the stress of living! He's just like me fr (minus the ghost powers on my part)!"

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

Romantically? Vlad, Valerie, Clockwork, and Dan, but mostly Vlad.

Want to see him get railed and ruined and crying? Dan, Nocturne, Skulker, Wulf, Walker.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

Tucker and Sam (provided Sam can get over some of her holier-than-thou attitude)

My unpopular opinion about this character:

This boy doesn't have a dominant bone in his entire body. I don't like reading top Danny fics, my boy deserves a break, and I'm also not a fan when he's taller and beefier than Vlad either. I stan a short king and I will take no criticism.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

It's a kids' show, so I know this was never gonna happen, but I would have loved to see him have a full psychological break. I'm talking an entire episode dedicated to Danny having a complete and total panic attack, Batman the Animated Series style. Parents want to catch and study him, one of his best friends keeps pushing him to do the superhero thing, parents and peers are pressuring him to date said pushy friend, he's failing in school, he can't retaliate against his primary bully, his future is screwed if he doesn't watch himself, the ghosts keep coming and they won't fucking stop, his sister keeps giving him these worrying looks like she's worried, why should she be worried? He's fine, everything's fine, he's only half-dead, what's the big deal?

Danny eventually has that panic attack the closer he gets to graduating, unsure of his future, scared he's gonna fail and never be able to leave Amity Park, terrified that all he has to look forward to is fighting ghosts and running/hiding from his parents. His future is forever uncertain because the alternate time line, and his friends can't understand, even if they're trying, but they just can't know what's going on with him, and he sees the fear in their eyes every time he brings up that dark future. He could go to Clockwork, but Clockwork will only give so much advice. He doesn't share more than is necessary to keep time in tact, so he eventually breaks and goes to Vlad. Who else could possibly understand if not the only other halfa in existence?

Basically, I would have loved to see him become increasingly overwhelmed until he had no choice but to run away and go to Vlad's. They make a temporary truce long enough for them to bond over their shared plight.

my OTP:

Pompous Pep, of course (you will pry this ship from my cold, dead hands)

my cross over ship:

None

a headcanon fact:

Danny totally had a crush on Vlad the first time they met. He thought he was handsome and charming and all that gross first crush stuff, and he actually enjoyed talking with him, even if him hitting on his mom was super fucking weird. Danny could look past that because he knew his mom wasn't interested, was happily married, and when Vlad wasn't focused on her, he could be pretty cool. Too bad he had to go and ruin it by revealing his evil intentions.

[galactic-pirates]

I keep seeing posts going “where is Jacen?!? what has Hera done with him???” and like he’s a little kid. She’s being responsible keeping him away from potentially dangerous stuff. Hopefully he’s in school or playing with kids his own age. Maybe a little Poe Dameron? They can bond over Hera being the best damn pilot in the Galaxy and Poe dreaming of flying.

But also like Jacen is a child of the rebellion, of the Ghost crew. I can’t see any version of the galaxy where he’s not going to be the most loved and well-looked after child around. He has 1 mum, but a massive extended family who probably all compete on who can teach him the coolest tricks.

Ok sure I mean this is just a headcanon based off the warm family vibes from Rebels, and some of Ahsoka showing Sabine alone on Lothal seems to joss that, but c’mon you will pry my Ghost family from my cold dead hands. Hera never has to look hard to find someone to watch him, they probably fight over it.

I can just picture Hera before needing to go look into this “Jedi attack business” going “anyone willing to-“ and she can’t even finish the sentence before Rex and Zeb are at her door going “yeah I can watch the little tyke” “no I was here first” etc.

And if Zeb and Rex aren’t appearing then nobody can tell me this isn’t canon. What else are they doing? See it all fits hehe.

[spotsupstuff]

Saw a couple food posts on here and obviously had to brainstorm headcanons for our local iterators. That is if they were humans/ancients/could actually consume food. I'm kinda just putting this in your askbox since I like yelling at you about the canon goofs. We'll start off with our best boy.

FP- He's got an iron stomach and mostly just uses it to drink a concerning amount of caffeine. I really can't decide if he's a coffee person or an energy drink person. I can see him chugging red bulls though. He likes spicy stuff and has a surprisingly high tolerance. Also likes anything sour and will stare a person in the eye while eating an entire lemon out of spite. Favorite drink is actually pink lemonade, but it's a secret (no it's not).

If we want to imagine an FP who takes care of himself, he'd probably like Malaysian or Vietnamese stuff.

NSH- Living trash compactor and would eat literal dirt if he thought it tasted good. If he does have preferences though, I'm leaning towards Kazakh cuisine. Foods like beshbarmak or pilaf.

Suns- They've got a weak stomach and would probably die to a pack of crackers. Lives off old rice in the rice cooker. I don't really have much for Suns since I really only think about fighting them in a mall parking lot with a rubber chicken and a lot of glitter.

Moon- I cannot decide if Moon likes traditional Japanese sweets or Danish ones so I declare both! I also like to imagine human Moon as Cajun/Creole as and you can pry this out of my cold dead hands. She would be able to cook wonderful dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, etc.

She carries snacks because God knows Pebbles doesn't eat enough. Also has to keep NSH out of them.

UI- Our girl inherits the Peepaw genes. Specifically for spicy food. Woman will chomp on literal ghost peppers. She had a spice contest with Pebbles and he lost miserably. Obviously, she'll never let him live it down either.

If this is all too much, just delete the ask. It won't bother me any.

feckin dang it with you food-knowledgable people, c'mon, all i know is veggies with sausages, half of these things i have no idea what are

But considering those Suns, NSH (first half) and UI takes i can understand without an issue and are probably the most correct things i'll see today i am inclined to fully believe everythin. Peepaw genes..................

i feel like Pebs would try to be coffee-only person just because coffee has Class unlike energy drinks but he's Such a workaholic that he'd steal Innocence's energy drinks straight from her room while she's still in there while staring her down. sibling culture for the win, she yells at him and chases him down to his room but he manages to lock it before she can do anything about it

Suns would also like fish,,,, heartcanon actually, they'd Adore a well cooked fish. however offer them sushi and they will be found dead in a dumpster two streets over

[warty-hog-legacy]

The first time Sebastian takes Clara home to Feldcroft, he’s all excited b/c New Friend!!! Anne will have a new friend too! They walk the whole way there while Sebastian can’t shut up about how awesome Feldcroft is b/c it’s by the sea (Clara says she’s never been to the beach), Feldcroft has Halloween and Spring festivals, he bets the runner beans planted in the garden have probably taken over now, the neighbors had a new baby over the summer, etc… but it’s not as safe as it was but it’s still Feldcroft.

Clara grew up in New York and then London. So she finds the little hamlet charming and is tickled pink with everything. Anne is very nice and immediately teases Sebastian about losing a duel to Clara. And then begs for details about the troll attack. Solomon is still a dick. But he lightens up slightly as he noticed that Anne is more lively with both Sebastian and Clara visiting (even if Sebastian is still trying to find a cure that doesn’t exist). He’s grumpy b/c Clara is an extra mouth to feed and he doesn’t want to waste food on a visitor. He can also tell she comes from money and isn’t sure if she’s being nice to be nice, or if she’s patronizing (Clara is just being nice and legit finds everything like it’s out of a fairy tale)

There is a bedroom in the back of the Sallow cottage you can pry that headcanon out of my cold dead hands, and that’s where Solomon sleeps.

Sebastian and Clara stay long enough that they have to spend the night, so all 3 kids are in front of the fireplace late that night, Clara in a borrowed nightdress of Anne’s, the fire crackling to ward off the autumn chill, Anne curled up between Clara and Sebastian to keep a semblance of propriety (long before anyone has crushes on anyone else). They take turns tells ghost stories and Anne and Sebastian team up to scare Clara and succeed a little too well. Sebastian is the first to fall asleep. Anne and Clara have a whispered conversation and Anne says she doesn’t want Sebastian to keep getting his hopes up for a cure. She knows she’s dying and had to terms with it, she wants to enjoy what time she has left.

Next morning Solomon all but kicks them out of the house (stop eating all the food, Sebastian!) and Sebastian shows Clara the castle and they explore it as he tells her how Anne got cursed. And that he WILL find a cure. Clara doesn’t share the conversation she had with Anne, this isn’t the right time.

The walk back to Hogwarts in quieter, but Clara tries to lighten the mood with all the lovely things she saw about Feldcroft, the ivy-covered cottages, the massive pumpkin the size of a carriage in someone’s garden, etc… Sebastian now has his broom (forgot it when going to Hogwarts, and then Quidditch was canceled, but he’s got the feeling he will need it for Adventures), and it starts to rain.

They run the rest of the way back to Hogwarts, and arrive soaked, muddy, and laughing b/c they kept accidentally spraying each other with mud as they ran. Prof. Weasley catches sight of them running in the entrance hall and decides that she needs to keep a sharp eye on the two of them.

Clara regularly writes to Anne and sends her drawings of magical creatures they learn about. And embarrassing things Sebastian or Ominis did that week.

[i-never-forgot]

Y’all know I can’t leave anything alone so I’m elaborating lol—I cannot be saved from the brain worms at this point

We already know Celebi would likely suffer with “ooh, shiny” syndrome bc…well, she is shiny—plus she’s able to travel quite a bit (in space and time, evidently) and I think she’d get easily distracted by anything that even remotely piques her interest. I also think that she’s the most liberal with her affection in general (pet names and PDA), but on the flip-side I get the feeling that she treats everybody she holds in any semblance of positive regard that way—you only know if you’ve secured a place in her favorites list if she starts bringing you things that reminded her of you. It could be rocks, orbs, items, scarves, flowers—anything. She would shower you with gifts to show how much you’re on her mind—and I think she’d get a kick out of Sky Gifts, so I’ll bet she’d becomes a regular at Shaymin Village gathering presents for her little found family “just because” (and for every reasonable date/event/birthday/anniversary—because you’d best believe that she never forgets anything).

Grovyle is quiet-natured and seemingly soft-spoken until pressed—I believe the motivation behind his impatience and rashness was the looming probability of the literal end of the world, because in the slower scenes (like the night in Partner’s home after returning from the future, for example) he seems a lot calmer. Therefore I think he’s not quite as forward with his affection in the rest of these…even his dialogue seems somewhat restrained; it doesn’t seem to particularly come easily to him, in my opinion (and this could very well be a result of his upbringing in the dark future—we don’t know for how long he was on his own before he met Hero and/or Celebi). So, because of this, I think he’d find the most comfort in spending time with those for whom he feels the safest and closest—proximity and mutual silence can vary, but he’s most content when he’s able to relax with his chosen family. Oftentimes, even if he’s trying to keep busy with work, he finds himself drifting off to sleep; this result could easily be surmised, given that he’s survived on his fight-or-flight instincts for, presumably, the majority of his life. Give him ten minutes to be able to sit still, now that the world is saved, surrounded by those who would unquestionably attempt to keep him from further harm…despite himself (because I think he would also struggle to wind down because of the fact he’s been running nonstop forever), he’s knocked out and snoring like a Snorlax. (Also he would absolutely be a fiendish cuddle bug and you cannot convince me otherwise. This is my personal headcanon and you can pry it out of my cold dead hands.)

Upon first consideration in this thought experiment, I had a bit of trouble pinning down Dusknoir…the others came relatively easily, but once I tagged them, the pieces fell together for this old ghost. My supposition (which I have also discussed here) is based upon the fact that he tends to put himself out there for others—he’s willing to let the Guild crowd him for autographs (even if it was part of his guise), he saves Hero and Partner in Amp Plains without asking anyone else to do so for him and without help (even if it was urgent), and he asks the Sableye to check on Grovyle and Celebi after Primal Dialga almost crushes him to death (which speaks the loudest and most plainly to this idea of all these examples, in my opinion). He obviously has the hardest time discussing his feelings (although the only example of this we have is with Grovyle, whom he had considered his sworn enemy for a long time), he’s keen to violence as his default setting (I’ve talked with @fujii-draws about him learning casual physical affection in the past mostly via Hero and Partner as it is a totally foreign concept to him), and—like Grovyle—he’s been in survival mode for so long he would most definitely struggle emoting anything sincerely without relying on a performative sort of expression (so his enthusiasm and such might come across as sort of fake to those with whom he interacts most frequently as a result once his entire identity and worldview is altered post-SE5—he’s always been forced into a malicious role and has only played benevolent parts in a deceptive context, so it’ll definitely take him some time to rediscover himself and figure out who he really is once the danger of being erased from existence is no longer preoccupying his finer mental faculties). I think he would cope with the inevitable lack of self-worth and survivor’s guilt (among myriad other issues surrounding the aforementioned redefinition of his entire literal life) by doing way too much at first, for everybody, to try to redeem himself and his past mistakes, to earn forgiveness he’s already been granted, to amend the injuries he’d incurred although they’re well on the way to healing…Grovyle and Celebi have enough let-sleeping-dogs-lie attitude to leave all that stuff in the past, but Dusknoir’s not going to find it as easy to do so. He’s going above and beyond to make sure they have everything they need, meals are prepared, tools/bags/housing is repaired without asking, jobs are taken and done for money to put in the bank, et cetera…I imagine Grovyle and Celebi would have to set him down and talk it out so he doesn’t run himself into the ground prematurely on the second lease on life he’d been so graciously given (because he thinks his worth is defined by what he can offer in terms of his skills and energy as opposed to his mind and personality based on all his prior experiences [and this is why, with Eliana and Lu, he finds it so surprising that all they really want from him is to share his knowledge—even with Team Skull, they don’t want him to kick their asses like he was initially inclined to do, they just want him to scare them off so they’ll leave them alone]). [This tendency would get especially worse if he tries to reconcile with Hero and Partner eventually; he’s going to smother them ten times as much as Grovyle and Celebi, hovering constantly and trying to fix everything even remotely remiss and being super protective of them as a result. I could go on forever, but I hope my point has been made.]

I think that Partner is in a similar boat to Celebi—they’re relaxed with their words, don’t carry as many hangups as some of the others do (although after Dusknoir’s betrayal and losing the Hero after restoring Temporal Tower, I think this point could be debated), so without as many traumas they’d find it significantly easier to be affectionate in general. This is evidenced by the fact that they trust Hero right off the bat despite being a perfect (and rather perplexing) stranger, only tipped off to their potential benevolent nature by their assistance in recovering their Relic Fragment in Beach Cave. They’re clear with their feelings (if a bit naive about admitting them, to a certain extent), even the negative ones, throughout the entire storyline—they’re not afraid to admit when they’re excited, uncertain, or terrified—and just as transparent with their fondness and worry about Hero. The only time I recall that they don’t really open up is during the Darkrai debacle, and I think that’s only because they were putting on a brave face for Hero so they wouldn’t worry about them on top of everything else that was going on. I think it’s easy to suppose that Partner would give nicknames and not hesitate to let those for whom they care know exactly how deeply they feel about them.

And this may be a bit on the nose, but I think Hero would lean towards physical affection because: a) they don’t have a lot of spoken dialogue (partly for immersion and partly for narrative limitations, I admit, although it gives room for the player to fill in the blanks as a result, so this point could fluctuate depending on your own versions of the Hero), and b) the Dimensional Scream…maybe they develop the habit of touching/bumping into/brushing against foreign objects/other Pokémon in an attempt to get a sense of them. After Drowzee, Dusknoir, and Cresselia/Darkrai’s betrayals, I imagine that Hero would become somewhat cagey around strangers, especially those that the people around them don’t know personally (e.g. Wigglytuff already knew and trusted Team Charm as opposed to the Guild having only heard rumors of Dusknoir), in effort to better protect those they care about. As they grow more comfortable around the Guildmembers and citizens of Treasure Town, perhaps they get to the point where they don’t even think about touching others—I can see them being particularly more affectionate with Partner or Marill/Azurill, for example, and maybe some of the Guildmembers (like Bidoof). Maybe you know you’ve won them over if their previously unknown/undeveloped grooming instincts kick in and they start picking through your fur/hide/scales/feathers to make sure you’re clean and warm. (Maybe Hero had always been physically affectionate, and that subconscious trait trickled through their amnesia as familiar as their name had—maybe they had indulged Grovyle’s insecure clinginess, holding him so that he could sleep for just a few hours while keeping watch; maybe they helped him when he was shedding and itchy and miserable by scratching the hard-to-reach places on his back; maybe they introduced him to gentle, caring touch that was not strictly violent for the sake of survival, either due to the nature of their relationship or by patching up each other’s wounds after a close scrape in a dungeon or narrowly escaping Primal Dialga, Dusknoir, and the Sableye.)

Wailing Song!AU

Ghost King!Danny who regularly needs to purge all the excess energy he gets from the Realms. It doesn't hurt him if he doesn't, it just makes him even more restless then usual and amps up his already haywire ADHD.

Now there's plenty of ways to expel this engery: fights, practicing powers, longer patrols, or even taking Cujo for a walk. How does Danny get the job done? He sings.

He learned, through one VERY intense solo rock out session in the Keep, that if he trys (or is emotional) he can put the power of his Wail into his voice and words. When he focuses it like that it doesn't just outright drain him of everything he's got, but still is a massive release of energy and his powers. So when he gets that tell tale zing of too much energy though his blood or even if he just needs to release pent up emotions he goes to a deserted part of the Zone and just....sings.

It's become a type of comfort for him at this point, something he can do if he's feeling overwhelmed or that the world and the weight he carries is just TOO MUCH and he's needs to /get away get away get away/. Or even when beings around humans and ghosts alike just gets hard sometimes because he'll never truly get to be either one ever again, forever stuck in the barrier between Life and Death. Never Fading and never Dying, just adrift in the space between.

He always goes someplace desolate in the Zone, maybe a random uninhabited island or even just drifting along with the tug of some imaginary current with the wide galaxy of greens/purples/blues undulating around him as he sings. The Zone itself is what nudges Danny in the directions it needs healing the most, takes him to quiet areas where he can sing and heal all the damage from centrys of neglect under Pariah's reign and absence. He doesn't like the idea of people hearing him sing, doesn't even know if he's any good, just knows that it's one of the few things he can just...fully ENJOY with no strings attached. If it also helps him release anergy and heals the Zone along the way? Even better.

Little does the King know that his haunting voice echos throughout the Realms each time he sings. His Wail carrying it away to curl around the nearby ghosts as a healing caress, taking away pain and healing the area around it with the new energy. The genre is ever changing but the effect will always be the same, because even when if the lyrics he sings just end up being screams of anger, sadness, and regret it brings peace to the Realm.

The ghosts all know of The One Who Sings, the Siren of The Realms, The Healing King, or better know by all as The Guardian. They know yet never confront him, it's something the know deep in their core that they shouldn't mess with. A warning from the Realms to leave its King to heal, both the Zone and himself in the small moments of solitude he can claw out for himself.

I'm going to school while feeling like shit cause of a cold and for some reason it's making me think of my rtc ghost au where the choir becomes ghosts and makes friends with penny, and become her ghost companions lol

they kinda just appear at school one day, wanting to see her. they also like to look around at what's changed, not much tbh tho

but then they see penny and oh god she looks terrible—

mischa by accident says "wow you look like shit." and immediately feels bad and tries to take it back

noel is demanding her to go home with the most mom voice he can muster

constance is trying to remember where the nurse's office is even tho she only remembers going there once freshman year

ocean is trying to tell her how dangerous it is to let her be vulnerable to all the "school germs"

ricky is telling her the fun things they could do if she comes home (watch movies, do crafts) (love ricky he's so sweet🥺

meanwhile during this whole thing penny is just trying to keep her eyes open while these idiots try to take care of her... she actually doesn't hate it

Dottie's birthday announcement

-_-_-_-

(Uses he/him pronouns before dot tells wakko and yakko she's a girl)

An alarm blared into the early morning, stirring a young kid from his sleep. He groaned as he pulled a mallet out from under his pillow and smashed the alarm, he knew he had to get up but he didn't want to, especially not today.

He made a commitment into telling his brothers something that's been bothering him for about a year now, and he can't go back on that commitment. He already left a note out by the coffee pot and cereal shelf for each brother respectively, he couldn't back out now.

The dog(?) sat up and climbed down the loft bed, making sure to avoid getting his tail caught in his brother's hammock like he had done so many times before, once he got it caught and his brother fell out when he tugged it loose. He cracked open the door, noticing his brothers sitting at the living room eating what looked to be oatmeal and the other drinking coffee in a comically large mug.

He took a deep breath before walking out, knowing he'd be greeted by friendly faces and very wrong words. He quietly walked around them, trying to get a protein bar before he announced it, but luck wasn't on his side today. Yakko glanced towards him and waved, "morning, Dottie! What'd you wanna tell us?"

He froze up, slowly turning around and waving awkwardly back at him "o-oh.. yeah, that..." He forced himself not to grimace at the thought. "I'm gonna wait until... After breakfast! Yeah, can't have an announcement without a proper meal first!"

His other brother piped up from the floor infront of the couch, talking with his mouth full of porridge that he was shoveling into his mouth. He was definitely on his 3rd and last bowl full, he always gets 3 refills of breakfast. "Announthemen'? Wh-" he paused, making sure he didn't choke on his food. "Wha' you mean?" He questioned, holding his head towards the ceiling so he could stop himself from accidently spitting up the oatmeal in his mouth.

"Wakko, did you even read it?" The yaking cat(?) questioned, to which the shorter confidently shook his head no. The eldest rabbit(?) shook his head, pinching the bridge of his snout and sighed. "Dottie wanted to make an announcement on his birthday, if you read it you would have known that."

Dottie slowly tip-toed backwards towards their shared room, quickly closing the door quietly behind him and locking it. He let out a breath he didn't even realize he was holding, leaning against the door before slowly sliding down to the floor.

The mouse(?) dragged his knees to his chest and hugged them, trying to figure out how to tell his brothers. He could pretend it was something el- no. He had to do this. They won't judge him, they're his siblings.

He lied his head on his knees, recounting every way he could explain the situation. Nothing seemed to stick out other than one, and it scared him, but it's who he wants to be.

Dottie sighed and let go of his legs, creaking the door open again, his eyes cartoonishly stretched out from his face as he peered through the crack. His brothers had calmed it seemed, and had already finished their "breakfast" it seemed. How long was he sitting in here? It seemed like only a minute, but a glance at the clock revealed it had been about fifteen minutes.

The cute ferret(?) Slowly closed the door and pushed himself up using the door, walking into their shared closet and taking out an old pink sweater of his brother's as well as a pair of scissors. If he couldn't leave the tower to get new clothes he could make them himself, so that's what he did.

He took some of Yakko's thread and needles that he used to patch up their clothes, and he attempted to sew the piece together, mostly succeeding other than occasionally stabbing his fingers with the needle when pulling it through and accidentally not sewing the side fully and leaving a small hole which he had to go back over with the needle and thread.

They slid on the scraggly sewn together clothing, it's a little tight but at least it won't fall off when they're moving. They grabbed a yellow faux flower from their desk and wrapped the stem around a darker yellow bowtie that they fashioned into a hair tie, wrapping their ears together with it.

The chinchilla(?) Took in a deep breath and covered their eyes before they walked Infront of the large mirror in the corner of the room, they slowly uncovered their eyes as they held their breath.

It was like a switch flipped in the rat's(?) head, this is who she was. She found herself. She let out a small laugh of disbelief as she stared at herself, gloved hand over her agape mouth. She twirled and spun around as she giddily took in her appearance.

A scrappily sewn together hot pink skirt took the place of the purple shorts she had worn earlier, and her ears were tied up with the flower. She loved it so much, she wanted to stay like this forever.

...

But now was the hard part, explaining this to her brothers.

She slowly stood up from the curtsy she was in the middle of performing, and smoothed out the wrinkles as best as she could. (though some of them were sewn into the fabric by her poor sewing attempts.) She sighed, glancing at the door. What would they say? Would they hate her?- no, they love her, they would never hate her.

The adorable raccoon(?) ambled her way to the door, peaking through the doorway as she slowly opened it, the "akkos" were messing with the remote, so she cleared her throat to get their attention. They didn't notice so did it again, which got their attention.

"Dottie? Why are you in the bedroom with the lights off?" Wakko tilted his head, his tongue peaking through the side of his mouth where his tooth was missing.

She took in a deep breath as she quickly turned on the light and pushed the door fully open, "Introducing your new sister," she pushed the door open with the roll of a red carpet before jumping out from behind the door. "Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca III! But you can call me Dot!" She curtsied, mostly to avoid eye contact with them.

She waited, but it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, they paused the movie to hear what she had to say but she wished they hadn't. She heard the sound of the couch creak as both her brothers sat up,

She heard them walking towards her and all she could do was stand there, arms stuck to her sides and staring at the ground.

Yakko stepped in front of her, and she immediately closed her eyes to stop herself from crying. "Can you look at me?" He asked softly, so softly that Dot almost believed nothing bad would happen. Almost she slowly peaked her eyes open and looked up at him, his arms were wide open for a hug as if understanding how much she needed it.

Dot jumped into her brothers arms and wrapped her own around him, nearly knocking him over as she did so. "Dot? Not Dottie anymore?" Wakko asked as he joined in the hug.

"No, just Dot," She muttered into the hug. "Call me Dottie and you die." She semi-joked, not knowing any way to articulate how the name made her feel. They accepted this without a second thought, as if they were finally understanding the immense hatred for her old name.

"Okay, 'Just Dot.'" Yakko joked, resulting in the smallest opossum(?) stomping on his foot.

"We love ya, sis. And we'll love you no matter what, like the blue alien guy from the mouse company says, 'Ohana means Family, family means nobody gets left behind.'" Wakko muttered as he purred into the embrace.

"Wakko that's Stitch." Yakko corrected him.

"No, these are stitches!" The sibling who was 5% salamander held up his tail, which indeed had a lot of stitches. All of which Yakko was aware of because he sewed them.

Dot escaped the embrace, grabbed an anvil from off screen and dropped it on both of their heads.
