In Defense of the Phandom (Mostly): Dan, Phil, and Our Parasocial Social Club
Refer to my previous pinned post for an explanation of and outline for this project. Now that I'm done going through my old reblogs (god, it took forever), it's time to actually research and write this script! This will be my pinned post for the foreseeable future, so you can come back to it by clicking on my blog for the current status of this part of the process. (Note from February 15 - everything is on hold for now while I wrap up my dissertation!)
Script word count: 2,350 | Last updated: January 9, 2025

More details below the cut!
Research → peer reviewed or published literature:
I read a few things (like Haidt's The Anxious Generation) while I was in the process of searching academic databases, but most of the 403 works I have saved to Zotero for this are currently unread. They're not all the same length or will take the same amount of time to read, so the completion proportion is just getting updated based on vibes. I'm absolutely not referencing all 403 of these things in the script - I just cast a wide net for materials I thought might be relevant. Furthermore, there are some things I didn't save that I know I'll be referencing, like some of the Pew Research Center's work in the early to mid 2010s on teenagers and technology, or the journalistic coverage of what got my school district in huge trouble in 2011.
Research → Social media and forum archives:
The collection of posts, art, and fic (other than mine) to reference in the video. For regular posts and art, especially by people who have long since abandoned their accounts or whose content went pretty viral, I feel comfortable just showing things in the video with credit as examples. For fic, I intend to just discuss trends more broadly and vaguely since, as a fic writer myself, I know we tend to get more flack and less acclaim for our work and therefore prefer to stay out of the spotlight. Let me know if you think I should handle this differently - the academic impulse is to credit sources and reproducible searches for every single thing you do, but that's definitely not best practice for phandom history since we have so much "forbidden" lore. I'll also be reading the IDB forum front-to-back, listening to things like the phandom podcast, reading the current generation of phanzines, and looking at recent (and historical, if anyone has any) surveys done of phannies within the community. I'm assuming those folks would appreciate credit and/or a shoutout.
Research → The great rewatch:
Rewatching everything DNP-related so I can talk about it from more recent memory (and read what's left of the original comments for DNP videos that are still up at their original locations). I know there's a playlist for this but I also know it's incomplete, so I have been doing some poking around myself and will probably continue to.
Research → Discussions with other phannies:
I read a few things (like Haidt's The Anxious Generation) while I was in the process of searching academic databases, but most of the 403 works I have saved to Zotero for this are currently unread. They're not all the same length or will take the same amount of time to read, so the completion proportion is just getting updated based on vibes. I'm absolutely not referencing all 403 of these things in the script - I just cast a wide net for materials I thought might be relevant. Furthermore, there are some things I didn't save that I know I'll be referencing, like some of the Pew Research Center's work in the early to mid 2010s on teenagers and technology, or the journalistic coverage of what got my school district in huge trouble in 2011. The first task is to sort that whole Zotero collection into more manageable sub-collections (on PSR on PSIs, on mental health, on YouTube platform history, etc), which is what I'm currently working on.
Writing → Introduction, background, and conclusion sections
See old pinned post for the outline. Will expand details here once research is mostly done (I plan to read and watch everything in the research section aside from talking to other phannies, then complete the script's rough draft, then talk to others on call, then integrate that with and finalize the script).
Writing → 2009-2013
See above.
Writing → 2014-2018
See above.
Writing → 2019-2025
See above.
Writing → Long tangents (fandom, RPF, and PSRs/PSIs)
See above. These tangents are kind of mini video essays in and olf themselves, so I may write them while I'm reading through my saved stuff in Zotero and before I rewatch all the DNP videos.

The king's dead (long live the king) - Masterpost
In this post I'll be updating everything I have on this AU. The tag will be "Eldritch Ghost King!Danny" if you want to search my blog!
It was a big project I wanted to challenge myself with, with crazy lore and worldbuilding, with a lot of exploration of eldritchness and angst. But I just got absorbed by DPxDC crossover, saw my niche in writing romance, got obsessed with Jason and Jazz and the rest is history.
I feel it's a crime none of this will probably see the light of day, so. Here. Chaotic mode it is. Fish my posts boy. I will post sporadically about this AU. You have been warned.
If someone wants to take anything from the lore or ideas, you are welcome to! Tag me so I can check it out!
Also I'm down for discussing AU with people 👀✨
What is this fic about?
This was supposed to be my magnum opus. It's the "main" fic in my AO3 series You and me and our best friends make three. So far the series has side stories or one shots located in different moments of the story. The main fic was supposed to tell the full story on how it happened, how we ended up here.
Back in 2021, when I went down the rabbit hole with Danny Phantom, I envisioned a neat AU where Danny was this eldritch ghost king... with a twist.
I love eldritch Danny (those who know me can confirm) but I wanted to explore something I haven't seen a lot even in the angst torture-vivisection saturated market of this 20 year old fandom:
What if the Ghost King is not power, but a sacrifice?
What if it is not known that the Ghost King is actually the host of a powerful entity (I called it The Whisper, because it talks in your mind in whispers) who is always hungry. Always. Hungry. And if it doesn't have a host will eat all the Infinite Realms then the Living World.
The Ghost King makes a pact with the Whisper. The King can tap into the ectoplasm, the energy, of every creature, object, city, etc. in the Realms and convert that energy into food for the Whisper.
But nobody knows this. Is a secret shared from King to King, and you only find out after accepting the crown.
Why would you refuse? Is the King, it's an honor, is power, is greatness. Who would deny the Whisper its food?
Only one managed to sever the connection.
His name was Pariah Dark.
He went insane.
What is The Whisper?

Basically this ⬆
Is a cosmic entity that was stranded on Earth a loooong time ago. It created the Infinite Realms with its flesh and blood (ectoplasm) and all ectoplasmic creatures come from it.
But its hungry.
-----
Posted chunks of story so far and their order in the timeline:
Act I:
Desired - Danny meets the Core for the first time
Ceremony - Danny is crowned King
Party like you are dead - the Ghost King invites all of Amity Park to his castle. Reveals all around.
Act II:
Never judge a book by its cover (dpxdc crossover)(my very first dpxdc work!) - Justice League summons the Ghost King to help deal with an eldritch creature. What they get may be a worse monster
Hidden identities? Never heard of them (dpxdc crossover) - direct sequel to the previous part. Batman and some of the colony go to Amity to investigate. They catch glimpses of horrors that they can't help but wonder
Remedy (+18!!!)(my very first DP fanfic!) - self indulgent Porn Without Plot in this universe. Placed in a distant future where everything is fine
Race ya! - funny haha thing set a bit after Remedy

WRITER INTRO!!
Hi all! I'm Cassie, I'm the owner of the ask-philgraves (NOT to be confused by @ask-phillip-graves , ran by the wonderful Fern) blog! This, at the moment, is my only Ask Blog within the COD community. Don't confuse me with any other Cassie, as my moniker is quite common!!
A few things about myself!! I am 21, an Aspiring novelist working on my own personal series called The Hero Chronicles, which is my passion project. I'll speak about it from time to time, and it has it's own custom tag, so if you want to find more, you can search #hero chronicles .
I come from a large family of six, and currently am in love with my wonderful boyfriend who does not have any social media besides Discord. 😂 I also have a wonderful dog, named Valkyrie, which you can find pictures of her under #valkyrie dog .
I am disabled, primarily physically! As I have an unknown blood circulation issue and autoimmune disease, which causes a whole slew of disorders and dysfunctions. So, sometimes I am just not around often, and that's because I am probably just taking a break so my body can rest!!
BLOG INTRO!!
This is an Ask Blog, styled with Roleplay. I rewrote his entire Backstory, and am currently making my own lore around this funny little guy. Basically doing my own little character study on how he got so sassy and traumatized.
I am not a MDNI blog, and won't be. I have younger siblings, and know how vital it is to provide a safe, third place for teens and other kids. However!! Please follow Tumblr's user & community guidelines. Because I am not a MDNI blog, I will not allow NSFW content within my ask blogs. You may make jokes, but do not be raunchy with it. Act as if a minor is always watching.
As for content, I do suggest a 16+ audience for this blog. That's not a hard rule, but a mere suggestion. There will be heavy talks about mental health issues, trauma, gore (will always be tagged), body horror and horror of war themes, nuance, suicidal ideation and mentions of attempts, addiction, self-harm through addiction, death, and more. This is not a light blog, be warned!!
As for lore, we currently have the #Ved'ma chronicles ongoing! So keep a lookout for those pesky lore entries...
CREDITS!!

⇾ PINNED POST ⇽
Hi! You can call me Gekko. I make art, primarily for my Hollow Knight AU, named Feral PK AU, but you'll also find occasional dragon/dinosaur art or maybe even fanart from other media. I also reblog posts from various other things, so it can get a bit chaotic.
That being said, the AU is the main focus of this blog. It is a slice of life AU for my favorite characters which mostly takes place in Dirtmouth, though over time it also evolved into a personal worldbuilding and character driven project.
Just a heads up, it does stray quite a bit from the canon and many popular fanon interpretations, so please approach with an open mind! If you have any questions, check the FAQ below first and don't be afraid to send me asks about it!

(disclaimers about the blog and the AU below)
─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───
DISCLAIMERS:
» Please do not reupload my art anywhere. I'm okay with people using it as their icons/banners, but please remember to credit me.
» Since this is a primarily AU related blog, anything I say about the characters is from a headcanon lens. A lot of my headcanons are quite different from the most popular fanon interpretations, so please be aware of that before you respond, especially in regards to fandom jokes and character hate.
» A large chunk of my drawings and posts features the ship Pale Nightmare, so if you dislike it I would not recommend following my blog. It's the only ship I'm invested in, and while I avoid ship discourse, there are some that I find uncomfortable, particularly those between the characters that I consider family within the AU (Grimm/Hornet and Grimm/Hollow being the primary ones).
» Although I might occasionally touch upon topics that are in the suggestive or sexual territory in regards to some characters, this blog is otherwise still meant to be SFW. I will not be posting any explicit artwork, and I try to keep the suggestive topics tasteful. If you are interested in my NSFW art, do not ask me about it here, instead head over to my Twitter private alt. I try my best to keep the two places separate.
─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───
AU RELATED DISCLAIMERS/FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
» The AU takes place after the Embrace the Void ending, and so The Knight/Ghost is not present.
» The Pale King's name in the AU is Vyrm (an alternate spelling of Wyrm that he uses as his name), though I occasionally refer to him as FPK. I would prefer if he was referred to with this name. At the current point in the AU he and The White Lady are separated.
» Please keep in mind that the AU originated as something I found comfort in, and it remains that way. There may be inconsistencies, I might retcon things on the go, and some things may simply not be well written. I also have no plans to turn it into a fanfic or a comic.
» I'm always open to answer questions about the AU and the characters! So if you have any, please don't be afraid to send me an ask, I absolutely love responding to them. 💖
» I am currently working on a WorldAnvil page for a more detailed, wiki-like AU info, link at the top of the post!

𝕊𝕒𝕝𝕦𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤 𝔾𝕒𝕟𝕘!
You may know me as Helfaerie (Hel or Fae for short), and I am a freelance performing artist with a deep love for HTTYD.
When I'm not on set and/or tryna' figure my life out I am writing this behemoth of a project called Path of Alfheim which you can find on the coveted AO3.
ℙ𝕒𝕥𝕙 𝕠𝕗 𝔸𝕝𝕗𝕙𝕖𝕚𝕞 𝕚𝕤 𝕒 𝕝𝕠𝕟𝕘𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞 ℍ𝕚𝕔𝕔𝕦𝕡 𝕏 ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕣 𝕗𝕒𝕟𝕗𝕚𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟.
It features a compelling story deeply inspired by Norse Religion and Lore, where Hiccup Haddock, following two years after the death of his father, is forced to cross paths with the elusive and deadly FMC (You!)
This fanfiction is highly explicit: violence, horror, gore, tragedy, sex, death, the likes.
𝕀𝕟 𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤, 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕞𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕄𝔻ℕ𝕀.
I respectfully ask that you do not interact with me if you're under eighteen. I don't feel comfortable discussing my work with you.
𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕚𝕟 𝕒𝕕𝕧𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖.
-> As of now due to the size of this project (with Fic 2 already in the works) Path of Alfheim is my only fanfiction. This blog features additional content based around the storyline, as well as general HTTYD whimsy!
Hashtag guide:
(All tags listed here are also featured in the Search Bar)
1. #PoA Art -> Features Artworks created by Readers for Readers! By far my favourite branch of this page. Thank you to everyone who has contributed!
2. #FMC Art -> Features Artworks depicting the elusive protagonist, yourself!
3. #PoA Audio -> Immersive sound bites that feature either voice acting or other types of auditory content.
4. #HTTYD Whimsy -> Memes and whimsy in relation to PoA and/or general HTTYD content.
5. #HTTYD General -> Pretty self-explanatory <3
6. #Progress Update -> Features posts about recent edits, announcements, and updates.
7. #Music -> Features songs I have accumulated for Path of Alfheim. Alternatively now you can go listen to the Path of Alfheim Playlist!
8. #Concept Art -> Think of this as a compilation of visuals I've used for inspiration while writing. Or any art I've come across that is reminiscent of the universe in some way. A Pinterest Board is in the works! (You may find additional visuals in the End Notes under each Chapter.)
9. #PoA Asks -> Features any Terror Mail you've sent me (and I encourage you to do so btw).
10. #Poll -> This is where post general discussions and interesting questions for you to ponder on. You can also greatly help me with writing the fic by answering these polls!
11. #Writing Prompt -> Think of this as a sneak peak into my notes! I have far too many and there is no guarantee which bits will actually make it in the fic.
12. #Resources -> Here's one for my fellow HTTYD fanfic writers! This tag features things like an interactive version of Hiccup's Map, Viking History Facts, and Nordic Folklore.
13. Finally we have the off tags like #General Fanfiction (Fanfic stuff unrelated to PoA), and #Rant (where I complain).
Thank you for the love and support you've shown to my work!

Writeblr intro!
Okay, so, I've been here for forever, but if I made an intro post, I definitely don't remember it. So.
Info under the cut!
Welcome to my blog. Enjoy your stay!
"Who are you?" Great question!
Hi folks, my name is Cas, and I'm an amateur writer with a love for all things words.
I use He/they/she pronouns,, but neos are fun. I don't have chosen ones, I prefer to let other people use what they think is apt to depict me. :> but to keep it simple, he/they/she! Use whatever pronouns are in your heart for me!
I'm a slave to the whims of my whimsy. If what you're writing makes me feel things, whether they're dark and unsettling or soft and lighter than air, I'm there. A few of my interests are cryptozoology, psychology, horror, fantasy, music and dance, and just anything I can search for. My favorite game is pattern recognition and completion, which makes things like escape rooms and scavenger hunts, whether for treasure or lore (same thing) a huge treat for me. I love being able to search, so if you like hiding obscure lore, let me at it like a pack of hounds.
I write horror, fantasy, mystery, comedy. My current WIP is a slasher comedy with a side of childish whimsy served up on a silver platter with some slice of life and sex jokes for seasoning. Loosely similar energy to Gravity falls is basically everything I make. What can I say, it's what I like.
I'm 18+, work two jobs and have the retensive memory of a soggy goldfish cracker. My schedule is hectic. If you see me reblogging posts, but I've neglected to answer you or respond to something you send, it's not you! I just have the memory of a wet rag.
Most of my work has at least some suggestive elements to it, because sex is a joke to me (/voice of someone who is very, very aroace). But literally every work does if you peek hard enough. Literally just heed my 18+ warnings on this page and you won't run into anything too gross.
I love weird things! Weird things galore! The more fucked up and absurd, the more I cheer! If you think an idea is stupid, send it to me!! I'd love to discuss it with you. Those little one off facts you've come up with for a character? That Au that stemmed from a joke? That cringe thing you're fixated on? Hit me with it! As a man with questionable morals once said, "Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram!" And therefore, we should have as much fun as we can!
If you ask me about Couteau, I will literally pledge my life to you. I swear. Or if you comment on any of my writing with him in it. Anything.
My WIPs!
"Well, what stuff are you working on?" LET ME ANSWER THAT!
"Sweeter Than Silence" (Project status: Active; In Progress For: 7+ years)
This, my magnum opus, that I've been fiddling at and fucking with the concept of on and off for approximately 11 years, but have been writing for about 7-
Is my LGBT, slice of life healing and depression infused comedy about a woman who goes home to find that everything she's been looking for in a fulfilling life is already there. "Everything", being a murder mystery in her haunted town that she knows wouldn't hurt a fly without good reason, a ragtag gay friend group, and the local hot bartender who is so outlandish it's like he's not even human. (spoiler alert! There might be a reason for that-)
Goofing aside, this story is stuffed to the brim with just the most absurd concepts I could think of. A media about embracing the purest form of self, and learning to love that part of you that finds beauty in the weirdest corners of the world, even if it was killed very young, to embrace your curiosity, and to indulge in suspension of belief. A low stakes, supernatural slasher comedy between a girl who's been told her whole life she's too much and a man who only wants her to get freakier.
This story is: - One of three parts! - T4T! Both main characters are trans, and they have a romance. - Stupid. /pos - Full of the stuff that would make a 13 year old go wild - A Composed Character Breaking Down And Losing It (TM) - Morally grey murder - A bunch of other stuff
"Rose Colored Glasses" (Project status: In Stasis, no longer currently active)
A fanfic i started y e e e a r s ago, when the Hazbin fandom was starved for content. A multi-chapter reader perspective fic, where, after falling into hell, they help an overcompensating Overlord Valentino cease his abusive ways. It's a fix it fic. It's me fixing him. Mostly just an excuse for me to dissect and make a dissertation on Valentino's possibly horrifically fractured and bruised psyche. I like the version of him I made up in my head, but I also like him canon, because he's horrific but he's also just. Iconic. Let's be real. Motivation for this passed on when Hazbin itself shattered my theories, but I still keep it around for fun.
The fanfic:
I also have personal notes that I won't be linking, but if you wanna know more about my theories, please ask! Even non canon, I love talking about my AU Valentino.
"You're Free" (Project status: Finished! Just for fun)
A fanfic I busted out in like an hour and a half once for a video game that gripped me by the neck. (Cryptid Coffeehouse, I love you.)
Not much to explain on this one, it was a self indulgent little scribble I did once, although if you haven't played CC, I highly recommend it.
The fanfic:
Books two and three of BISTS (the overarching series that Sweeter Than SIlence starts!) I know what happens in them, I just have to write it out. Wish me luck
Miscellaneous smut fics that I've done as spin offs of my own series just for fun and to explore different power dynamics. If I ever post any of them, they'll go on a pseud specifically for schrodingers fics (both canon and not, it depends on how I feel) under forgotten_scripture (AO3 account)
Miscellaneous Info!
My blog is sorted into tags!
castalk - Me saying words! bists/blood is sweeter than silence - All of my WIP info on Sweeter Than Silence and it's series. couteau my beloved go back into your box - The tag I specificslly use for anything and everything about my antagonist/first book series love interest. I highly recommend checking out this tag if for no other reason so that you have to look at him. coudoodles - Art I've done of. my antagonist.
Use these to navigate your way around here! I'll add more as needed.
I have a huge fixation on the antagonist of Sweeter Than SIlence. I mentioned him earlier, but, his name is Couteau, he's my stupid 6'4 redhead who wears 2 inch heels to make himself taller, he's a moron, he's immortal, and he's my beloved baby. I lose my shit over this man on a daily basis. Genuinely, bring him up to me and I will talk for hours. I do not regret it. I'm haunted by visions.
I love awful memes. 200% permission if we've never interacted to just send me a bad meme. I want one
And or, I spend a lot of time stuck in spots where I need music recommendations. Throw a song at me!
My inbox is always open. My DMs are always open. I love talking. Do not fear me. Come tell me about your favorite things.
Hey long haired redheaded trans men!
Having a shitty day?
Feeling dysphoric?
Need a mood boost?
Send your selfies to my inbox and watch me go absolutely incoherent about the fact that you look like my OC! For the small price of one existence, I will hype you up to unspeakable levels because you deserve it!! Watch a stranger on the internet rave about how unspeakably fantastic you are!
(mostly kidding about this, but if it would make you feel better, go right ahead, I'm always happy when my obsessions spread love /gen)
Aaaaaand, on that note-
I think that's it!
If you read all of this, wow, look at you!! You did fantastic!!! I can't wait to ask you about your projects, and am waiting with bated breath for you to ask me about mine. HAHAHA
Anyways! Welcome to my blog!
Enjoy your stay!
~ Cas. <3

About me!
Hi! You can call me Lily, LilyMoon, sailorsplatoon, sailor, or whatver you want, idc.
My pronouns are she/they!
I am a minor (17 years old), so no NSFW interactions on my blog please.
I mostly post about Splatoon, but I also like Pokemon, Kirby, Pikmin, The Owl House, Amphibia, Gravity Falls, Sailor Moon, and a bunch of other stuff! Feel free to talk with me about those if you'd like!
You're welcome to tag me in anything! I don't really scroll at all, so if you want me to see something, it's best to tag me. I love getting tagged too!
About my blog!
This is primarily a Splatoon ask blog, and a lot of it is centered around shipping and my ocs, so feel free to send me an ask! I love seeing what you guys have to say! Also I recognize that my blog can be very difficult to understand if you don’t have all the lore, so if you have any questions about anything on the blog at all, just send them over and I’m happy to answer them!
I like all sorts of ships, but my OTP is Acht x Agent 4 (or dedfour as I like to call them). I post about them a lot. You can check the #dedfour and #acht x agent 4 tags on my blog if you’re curious what I’ve posted about them in the past!
But the ships don't stop there! I also post alot about Harmony x Acht x Agent 4, AKA p4ruf1sh. Now Harmony gets to join the lovebirds in a polycule! You can find more about that on the #p4ruf1sh tag!
And it keeps going! I post a lot of oc x canon stuff too, which you can find under the #oc x canon tag! Currently there’s Marie x Shina, Shiver x Birch, Frye x Elle (au exclusive), and Callie x Elita/Pepper. If you want to know more about a specific one, search my blog for a tag of the canon character.
Another one that I've talked about a little bit is a polycule QPR that I've been calling bittersweet pancake, it's between Captain 3, Agent 8, and Big Man. You can find those posts under the #bittersweet pancake tag!
All of the relationships also have children that I post about frequently, so here's a post with a short guide to all of them!
Where to find me!
I have an ao3 account that I post fan fiction on, I also post the same fanfic here on Tumblr!
Here’s my carrd if you want to know more about me (though it's mostly the same stuff that I wrote in this post).
I also have Twitter, but I’m not as active there as I am here.
My fanfiction!
I wanted to put a little list of all the fanfictions I've written so far! If you're curious, give them a read!
This Forgotten Melody is an Acht bacstory that just so happened to be the first fic I ever posted! As a result, it doesn't have a specific tag on my blog, nor is it in any way canon compliant... but you can find it on ao3!
Watch The Sky With You is the Dedfour fic that my blog is based around! You can find it on my tumblr under the tag #Watch the Sky With You, or you can read it on ao3!
I write a ton of very short oneshots on here too! I've archived all of them on ao3 if you're curious. All of these come from writing requests, so feel free to send one if you're interested!
Lastly, there is my ongoing fanfiction called An LED Light at the End of the Tunnel!!! This is an Agent 4 angst fic in which Four gets lonely enough to consider turning to the hypnoshades. New chapters come out every Friday!
Anyway thanks for checking out my blog! Bye!

Project Spark is a blog dedicated to the exploration of the game Fer.al, its lore, my personal experience with the game and community, and original projects related/inspired by it through art, comics, animations and other posts. ___________

____________
ASK AWAY! Ask Rules: Art requests, suggestions, questions or whatever is on your mind! Note, not everything may get a response- or the response you were hoping for! You may get something sweet and simple, something silly or something quite interesting! Character Asks: Is there something you'd like to say to a character? Go ahead! (And please remember, these are fictional characters written to follow a set behaviour, if someone says something you didnt like don't try to fight me over it)
___________
Certain content will be grouped under specific tags that will be added as I go along. Search Tags:
#Fer.al -General content related to the game/community
#Spark Comic -Comics centered around both canon characters and OC characters!
#Astr.al -The home of all my original project's concepts and artwork!

Hi everyone, happy weekend (or happy almost weekend, depending on your timezone)! I was waiting on a couple of communities to get back to me before I released this update... but there is nothing stopping me from making a belated one later. ⭐
With that being said, as of today (06/01 - Happy Pride!), the following resources have been added to Sea's Community Compendium for XIV Creatives.
LORE
Minerica Eorzea — maintained by @wildfireward, this Compendium was inspired by the Botanica Eorzea and serves as her counterpart. It contains item descriptions of raw materials, item descriptions of gear that use said materials, stats of gear that use said materials, leve quest lore, and crafter quest dialogue.
MISC
Animations for XIV — A spreadsheet created and maintained by Sayo#0196 that contains a list of animations that can be useful for posing purposes.
Transparent Assets for GPOSE — Have you ever wanted to overlay a screenshot with XIV’s assets like ‘this scene cannot be skipped’? @fortunafavore has you covered!
CHANGELOG
For some reason, the text for the Hingan Alphabet had vanished on its bigger advertisement. It has since been readded! (Don't ask me why it did it, I have no idea.)
COMMUNITIES
With the Tumblr communities in beta, I'm trying to think how to best incorporate them into the Compendium should we get an influx of XIV related ones when the feature goes properly live. While they're currently invite only I won't be adding any (unless community leaders would like to reach out and have them added) but, once they are, I'll either make a separate section in the Compendium for them or sort them between the aforementioned categories as needed. If you have any thoughts, questions or suggestions, please let me know!
Do keep in mind that the feature is in beta, so my thought and categorisations may change as the community feature itself expands. Tumblr may also incorporate a better method of searching/filtering that might make it redundant! We'll have to see.
Want to submit? You can either fill out the google form here, send me an ask with the relevant information contained on the Compendium, or join my Discord at SEAFLOOR (21+ only)!
Is my space suitable for the Compendium? Most of the time, yes! Below the read more is some more information/stipulations. Again, all the below information is accessible on the document! 🐡
Below are the following things I do not accept on the Compendium:
Personal/Single-Character LFC ads.
Content intended for or can be used for bullying, harassment and OOC gossip. E.g. ‘Secrets’ blogs, receipts, callout posts, etc. This does not include in-character tabloid blogs used to generate RP.
Communities that do not have an RP/writing element (large-scale exempt).
Anything I find personally distasteful or goes against the spirit of this project.
Common-sense rule applies.
FAQ.
I want to put my community on the compendium but we have an application process. Is this okay?
Yes! Just note somewhere in your application that's a requirement. The only thing that is mandatory for the Compendium is that you must be open to new members or have a public-facing/accessible facet. There's no point advertising a community if no one can join it in some way!
I want to put my community on the compendium but I only have x number of members —
Also totally okay! People don't start with large communities. Activity is a must but, whether your server has two or two thousand members, if you're looking for new people to join, I'd love to help you find people.
I want to put my community on the compendium but I worry its too niche?
Okay, and? If your Eorzean Fishing Alliance has four members but you roleplay every second weekend, I still want to know about it.
What resources/communities can I add if I'm not the owner of them?
Mutual consent is extremely important to me, so anything that isn't a large-scale community OR a publicly accessible resource must be endorsed by the owner/admin/moderators in order to be added to the compendium. I operate under the assumption that a resource posted to a public space (tumblr, googledocs, youtube, etc) is open to all. A large-scale community is one with a significant member count or openly advertises itself as being accessible to everyone for whatever purpose it serves. If in doubt, please get in touch with me. I'm happy to contact your community owners for you!
How active does a community need to be?
If you find a community has not been active in about two/three months, send me a message and I'll take a look at it. Communities have ebbs and flows, especially event spaces that may take hiatuses depending on member interest/life events. I'm not strict in my implementation provided a space isn't dead. If a link or anything is broken, absolutely contact me about that.
I have [insert a question not stated here]?
No drama! Send me an ask or use the #Compendium channel in my Discord!

Hello there! I realize that this is a shot in the dark, but are you by any chance the person that used to have a world building side-blog about Ceathin? I just had a bolt of memory about it and had to go searching through an old email to find any traces of it (i used to send you asks in 2018 about it). I have been missing that world dearly, and if you were at ALL willing I would be so so thankful if you would be willing to share any of that lore. If not, I completely understand, have a good day!
Hi! Not a long shot at all, yes that was me! The blog was mystilfyn, I still have it but it’s been locked for….I want to say four or five years.
Everything on that blog got extremely outdated about a year or two after I made it, and in a bad mental health episode I got a little paranoid about people seeing my personal work - I’m still a little skeevy about it today, to be completely honest, but the headworld itself is still going very strongly and has been for the last six to eight years or so. A lot of it has been scrapped and rebuilt iterations over the years, so while I’m extremely touched that you still remember it (I remember you, btw!! Hello!!) I’m not comfortable bringing the blog back atm bc it’s not an accurate representation of my work anymore, and it’s changed (and I’ve gotten much better at certain aspects, ie. conlanging) as I’ve grown up with it.
So while there’s not much I can bring back or show you, I can show you a snippet of grammar in my conlang document (in a perpetual state of unfinished):



(big thanks to the conlang reddit guide on active-stative languages I pulled a lot of the terminology from as well!)
and a couple pics / comms of one of my most beloved characters from there, Ryon•Kuráán•Valkaan ['ʁiʊn 'kuren vʊl'ka:n], long-murdered immortal bloodlord, godking and god of conquest;
and the first tab of my flight rising lair has vague snippets of lore since my main g1 project is headworld stuff!
Unfortunately bc 99% of my lore is kept in DMs with the friend I worldbuild / conlang with (you know who you are <3), I don’t have any central place I can point you to, but if you have specific questions I’m happy to answer them here!
#asks#long post#my bloodborne ass vampire snow elves……#I don’t really talk abt my personal work except with one friend lmao#so it feels strange now to have it break containment a#bit but this ask made my day <3 I’m really touched you remembered it bc I hate everything I left#on mystilfyn LMFAO. but yeah if you want specifics just ask there’s too much to write really#I use these guys as PCs for stuff like eld.en ring and monhun as well but that’s abt all people generally see

Movie Matchup: The Ghost Face
The name of this blog and its banner may give you the impression that I’m a big fan of Dead By Daylight’s Ghost Face, and the accusations are true. There are a lot of things I can say about him, and probably will say about him in the future, but the gist is that I think that BHVR’s unique take on him is probably the most interesting thing done with the character since Scream was released in 1996.
Scream, however, is NOT the first movie on my recommendation list. Wes Craven’s masterpiece will always be present in the background noise of the Ghost Face character, having made Fun World’s costume a household name. Danny Johnson’s character definitely has Scream DNA, despite being part of a licensing agreement with Fun World itself, but his roots go much deeper.
Danny represents a specific subgenre. He is not simply a Scream OC, but instead a full-fledged member of the subgenre they both share:
The Meta-Slasher.
Not just a slasher, but one that knows what it is – be it genre-aware characters, or a deliberate twisting or questioning of genre conventions, and the frameworks that they exist within. As a character, Danny both loves and desires to emulate the killers of yore. He has a very fixed idea of how things are “supposed” to work, and when they don’t go as planned, he finds it hard to cope.
With no survivor to be his foil, Danny also comes with a unique perspective: that of the villain protagonist. Danny isn’t a Scream OC – he’s a product of the same films that created Scream. Only this time, he’s the main character, and he wants you to remember that.
FILM #1: PEEPING TOM (1960)
The fact alone that it’s one of the forebears of the slasher genre puts it on the list of our slasher fanboy’s influences, but there are a lot of specificities I’d like to draw attention to in director Michael Powell’s classic.
The film follows Mark Lewis, a photographer that murders women with a blade hidden in his camera tripod. Much like the one our friendly neighborhood Ghost Face pulls out during his Momento Mori, Mark uses a camera to capture the grisly final moments of his victims. This stems from the fact that Mark himself was a victim of video violence, used as a guinea pig for his father’s twisted studies on childhood fear. We are entranced by, implicated in, and victim to the camera as a weapon – a deadly relationship with media made literal.
Danny, similarly, was trained into violence by his abusive father and left with a warped sense of how media and violence interact on both a personal and deeply deadly external level.
There is a dimension of misogyny, patriarchy, and specific violence against sex workers in the film that do not really apply to Danny's story - as his lore stresses that he doesn't target any particular traits in his victims - but it is worth mentioning here as both a warning and an addendum on themes brought to the fore by the film.
FILM #2: FADE TO BLACK (1980)
Following pretty closely behind in Peeping Tom’s footsteps is this story about an awkward, chain-smoking film buff who descends into the identities of the film characters he adores to cope with his loneliness and self-hatred, leading to a silver screen-themed bloodbath.
Fade to Black takes on the fanboy side of things – of a man who slowly loses his identity to the movies he adores because that is the only way he can cope, and through them, exacting revenge on a cruel world.
FILM #3: THE LAST BROADCAST (1998)
Almost a year before The Blair Witch Project terrorized audiences around the world, The Last Broadcast told an extremely low-budget found-footage tale about the investigation into an expedition that struck out in search of the Jersey Devil – and discovered something far worse.
While I wouldn’t exactly qualify this one as a meta-slasher (or a slasher at all), it has several delightfully diabolical qualities that tie quite neatly into Danny’s whole schtick. Saying too much about this little homebrewed horror risks spoiling the whole thing, so I won’t go into too much detail – all I’ll say is that Mr. Johnson will be on your mind by the end.
Those three might’ve been in the spotlight this episode, but I’d also recommend taking a look at Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) and All About Evil (2010). Abundantly more comedic, they both tell the story of highly theatrical self-made slashers that resonate along the same frequencies as our favourite masked miscreant. The former almost shares a name with Danny’s own tome story!
With that, we come to the end of our first Movie Matchup article. Ghost Face might’ve been the first, but he certainly won’t be the last – there’s a whole weird wide world out there filled with killer films, and films that made our Killers.
