Idea!
Whomst???
So, let's take canon Danny Phantom. We can even take the AGIT, that would only make him canonically 16-17is for this scenario. (Btw, poor Val. I'm seriously so sorry for her)
Danny is flying around the Infinite Realms to familiarise himself with it better. Look, if he decided to be the Bridge, he has to learn more about the Ghost side of his life. Their customs, quirks, limits, world... from someone who isn't a Fruitloop or his parents. He is still ashamed that it took meeting Dairy King to finally realise that not all Ghosts are evil.
He got to a section of many, many, MANY, natural portals that led into completely different universes. Most of them even had Heroes!!!! He was so exited!
He visited many in the next few months. Made friends, confused the heck out of locals. Made some enemies, cause that's just his life.
Spiderman was cool! Iron Man was so fun to prank, the guy was a billionaire and hilarious.
Even if he never was able to speak with the vast majority, those Japanese Heroes with cool superpowers were awesome. He was kinda glad his world was normal-is tho. Call him judgmental, but come on, look him in the eyes and tell him that you wouldn't be weirded out by some of the mutations.
And now, he spotted his new target. From what he gathered, they were an urban legend of the gloomy as heck city. Robins,... bats? or something. Time to make friends!
And close the leakage of the Raw, unfiltered ectoplasm into here. He had only been around one for an hour and he saw how problematic it was.
Aka
Danny is a gremlin in canon. He found cool portals. He will make it other's problem.
Yes, he keeps his identity hidden. No, he doesn't stay invisible all the time. Only initially to get some info. After that? You'd spot him openly bothering the superheroes. And rogues. Can't let them be left out.
What are they gonna do? Kill him? They can't even touch him most of the time.

So just after episode 5 and 6 came out I made a post noting the apparent continuity error between Simon Petrikov first identifying himself as studying to be an antiquarian
But in all other cases as just being an antiquarian
Not because I was trying, like, to call-out a minor flub in the internal timeline of Simon's character - but because every in-universe explanation you can use to justify this discrepancy is just both plausibly in-character enough that I can buy it and absolutely hilarious.
Either Simon Petrikov has managed to finish his degree after the Curse of the Magic Crown had started to tear away at his sanity - or he's just causally smoothing over the details that he never finished his degree, cause like, who could ever fact-check him?
(Or my personal favorite, a combination of the two. Simon was powering through finishing his degree despite the Crown eating away at his sanity and his life falling apart and then like five days before he was done - the whole University blew up in thermo-nuclear-magical-Armageddon. So now he's like "screw it!! I did my goddam best, I'm giving myself a degree!!")
But, weeeelll, then the episode 'Jerry' came out and pretty undeniably established that Simon Petrikov does have a Phd.
Like, I don't think Simon is willing or capable of getting away with Academic Fraud in this pre-war university as he does in the Land of Ooo.
So... on one hand you can keep these same previous theories going if you just assume Simon is the kind of guy so reluctant to leave Academia he just keeps... collecting degrees, and 'studying to be an antiquarian' is Over-Achiever Nerd Code for 'going for my third doctorate' or something.
Or on the other hand you can go with something on a similar vain to the fandom's go-to explanation to the other Holly Jolly Secrets Discrepancy with later-establish Simon and Betty stuff
Was one of the first serious mental effects of the Magic Crown's Curse and Madness over Simon's mind is that it made him forget that he already graduated?

Does bill keep little photos of Dipper in his wallet (´◦ω◦`) like someone tries to steal from him and then they open his wallet and it's just different photos of Dipper (and the occasional photo of himself)
He absolutely does! And will also whip them out with little to no provocation, to show off all the photos he has of: Dipper being grumpy. Dipper being annoyed. Bill, with Dipper in a headlock. Dipper panicking after setting something on fire that he should definitely not have. Surreptitiously taken photos of Dipper in compromising positions.
They're sentimental, obviously - but also a great tool for annoying the hell out of other people/demons when Bill feels like being obnoxious. Which is often.

Encanto Drabble: Leftovers, & Love
It started as a little collab with @empty-cryptid 😌💚 To be posted on AO3.
...
“Bruno, do you know what happened to the leftover tamales?”
“Uh... no?”
Julieta squints at her brother. There’s sauce in the corner of his mouth, and his belly seems just a bit too round—beneath a shirt which may or may not have crumbs on it.
She pokes him in the stomach. “Then what’s in here?”
“...Love?” Bruno offers, throwing her a winning grin. He gets a look in return: cocked eyebrow, folded arms; lips pressed together in an unmistakable effort not to smile back.
“Well. True as that may be,” Julieta says at last, as she prods those pudgy sides some more and begins to steer Bruno in the direction of the kitchen. “You’re coming with me to help replace my mysteriously vanished tamales.”

You are absolutely the author of failed connections. Your characters want to reach each other, but when they have a chance they choke on their words and further intrench themselves in isolation. Painful, intolerable isolation. Characters whose internal narration is so eloquent and so desperate, but whose dialogue is filled with lies they don't want to tell, don't know how not to tell.
(you can tell which of your stories is my favorite, can't you?)
🥺🥹 oh. i think that means more to me than i was prepared for. thank you, i love you. 🤍
(it sounds like i’ll try. i’ll try. for sure, but is there some yearning hours trilogy in there, too?)
🌷 tell me about the thing you remember me for as a writer (or: what‘s your favourite thing about my words)
