Pest Control
So if you've been looking at my posts lately you'll realize I've been fixating on Queen Danny. And I'm going to keep doing that. But let me grind up some new concepts to throw in.
You think that bugs can become ghosts? Other than singular ones like in Doctor's Disorders? Not really. They're not as obsessed or driven enough to be fully formed, and areas where they become even blobs via excess ecto would probably have a bunch of blob eaters or something balancing it out. So the singular ones in that episode would be much more rare in comparison.
And ghosts who control bugs don't count. We're talking about bugs being the ghosts.
But what about those mass insect killings? Pest control, or when a full apartment building lights on fire and there's enough ectoplasm around? You get a Hive.
Hives always prefer to work together, since even at their creation they are made up thousands or even millions of the creepy crawlies. They either form a body from tiny bodies or chose a majority that can represent it properly. So they can just meld and split without concern.
And in the bug and insect world, more often than not, the Queen is at the top. Pariah didn't count, he didn't even like the Hives. On the other limb, High Queen Phantom had created a clutch of her own.
Once she came into power, the Hives wish to fulfill her desires, as insect kingdom instincts demand and through newfound loyalty. They do so, to the detriment of everyone else.
#dpxdc#dp x dc#dp x dc prompt#I'm slowly losing my mind#Ghosts have gender set to optional#I LOVE BUGS AND INSECTS#good parents jack and maddie#redeemed vlad#Yeah not as relevant but give me my wholesome weirdos! I want them!#My ideas are pretty stagnant I know but I'll get better I swear!#hives all start out as they with no gender or identity and either stay that way or developed a sort collective identity#I just slap ideas together really#I almost made a copy of Fright Knight's adventure to find a suit or but that would've been redundant#I'm obsessed with non-human thinking and looking things interacting with humans#can you tell?#dcxdp#dc x dp#dc x dp crossover

The ghosts gave up so much when they told Alison it was okay to leave.
They haven't just lost the Coopers that day - they've lost all the little things Alison (and Mike) have brought into their afterlives. There will be no more war documentaries for the Captain, no more football for Pat, no more Friends for Thomas. No one will lay out their favourite books for them and turn the pages every morning. No one will put on their favourite music, dance with them or set up the chess board. No one will time the Captain's morning run or decorate the Christmas tree just like Fanny likes it.
I know they still have Julian to turn on the TV or music but with the house being turned into a hotel, they can no longer indulge in these things like they used to, not with guests around. And those guests will be staying in their bedrooms, robbing them of what little privacy they have or perhaps forcing them to give up their rooms altogether. Given that none of them used Heather's bedroom when she was alive, I think it's safe to assume they wouldn't constantly want to share their rooms with the livings.
They've lost so much when they let Alison go, and they must have known they would before they talked to her. But they set her free anyway because that's what you do when you love someone: you have their best interests at heart, not your own.
And I think that, more than anything, shows how much they've grown since Alison came into their lives.
#my heart honestly aches when I think about the sacrifice they made just so Alison can be happy#I'm sure Alison put some clauses into the contract like 'the chess board must always be set up' to make it more comfortable for them#but that only goes so far#I wonder if she realises how much the ghosts have given up for her#and I wonder if the ghosts try to hide it from her when she comes to visit#because they don't want her to feel guilty for living her life#bbc ghosts#bbc ghosts spoilers#mp bbc ghosts

Doodlin’ my favorite little animatronic ghostie before the new Haunted Mansion comes out:
#Disney#The Haunted Mansion#Haunted Mansion#dark ride#Hatbox Ghost#animatronic#my art#and it's looking like they made the Hatbox ghost a bad guy#which is bullshit#he's just a happy little guy#minding his own business#and then they had to cast Jared-fucking-Leto to play him#will the indignities ever cease#anyway sorry to rant#I think I'm the only person annoyed by these things

I think what might actually help the families of trans loved ones is to actually engage with where the trans person is at - especially if the family isn't quite understanding yet. When I came out, I was completely alone in figuring out my manhood. I had peers and I had exposed myself to so many trans people who explored gender, and while it was amazing, it isn't quite the same at times. I grieve quietly, sometimes, about all the missed opportunities that might have just made it easier for my family to have seen how utterly happy I was. It took them a very long time to actually notice that I was happy, especially once I got on testosterone. I'm lucky that they saw that happiness eventually, and slowly accepted it. My manhood is completely detached from their influence, both to my relief and chagrin. It's sad to me that I learned to shave from a kind online stranger, somebody who didn't even have a father and yet, I do. I have a father. I grieve at the loss of a potential shared experience. I grieve about the pain I went through when I was in that stage of transition, especially because it was raw and vulnerable. I grieve that many trans people today are traversing the path I had to, because it's sometimes lonely (even when you do have other forms of support).
It's hard to know that I will never have gotten my sense of being from my family. In many ways, it has severed a lot of connection with them because there were so many times that I was begging them to see happiness when they were focused on the idea that I was almost in a state of purgatory - flesh which felt warm but held no familiarity to them. I don't harbor ill-will toward them, I hope I don't leave the impression that I despise them. I understand what they felt, even if I can't conceptualize it myself. However, it's a raw wound in my heart, and I don't want to leave anybody else feeling that way, either.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#ally advice#i'm thankful that my manhood is the way it is. but it was a painful journey to get here and i did it partially alone#i absolutely am grateful to have had my friends and the trans people who made themselves known though. i owe these people my life#i still think it's not unreasonable to have wished for my /family/ to have been part of that journey sooner especially when i was young#sometimes it seems like parents who believe their child has died after they express their transness make that a self-fulfilling prophecy...#...in that the parent often aloenates themself/themselves from their child in a variety of ways...#...i was alienated from my dad when he threatened my transition - it became a self-fulfilling prophecy in that i shut myself down...#...i retreated inward and in a way became a ghost - corporeal to the touch but a spirit who may not be seen...#...in many ways i felt in limbo between life and death. it was a cycle of purgatory#and that is something i think is best avoided. it's lonely and scary and it makes it hard to imagine a future#i need to emphasize that even though this was shitty i am still lucky in so many ways#i just faced a lot of undue shit even so - shit i don't think was conducive to a good environment or well-being

i do think the fact that shane is dressed like a supervillain in the announcement is really funny. when he betrays his audience he goes all out at least.
(credit to reddit user Icy_Arrival4510 on r/WatcherSnark for pointing this out)
#im disappointed and saddened but at least it's a little funny...#the SMIRK. no WAY this man didn't know what he was doing a lil bit. at least he's committing to the bit here ig#people are pointing out that a LOT of the blame is going to steven and its getting kind of scapegoat-y (and borderline racist apparently??)#while i'm not a fan of him like i was (since HS) of S/R and i don't trust people who own teslas (hate musk hate his company)#yeah i dont think that he's solely the blame here/deserves to get all the hate. they clearly all made this decision#i think shane in particular may know this is his Villain Arc and he's just embracing it. he looks like he knows theyre gonna hate him 4 it#sorry im just. saaaddd#watcher#watcher entertainment#shane madej#ryan bergara#steven lim#ghost files#mystery files#puppet history#buzzfeed unsolved

I'm not super involved in the Nicktoons Unite fandom, but I have been combing through fics and I'm already tried of Danny being portrayed as the big brother/second smartest one instead of what he actually is: a fucking idiot.
#nicktoons unite#danny phantom#danny fenton#i mean this as affectionately as possible btw#if anything JIMMY should be the tired older brother who subsists off of coffee and no sleep#danny and timmy have adhd and probably three brain cells between the two of them#I'm not saying Danny is a dunce#he's passionate about flight and space travel!#but let's be honest — he's 14 in canon. those are passing interests#they're not. like. something he could tell you every single last detail about#source: i am also into aeronautics#second source: i grew up with dp and I'm tired of the dumbass erasure#danny has no thoughts and only has teenage angst when a ghost is manipulating him lol#i know we all want our favs to be cool#but danny is literally just the biggest dork in the world#he's not a gritty 20 year old with 5 o'clock shadow who needs to smoke just to feel something#everyone's entitled to their interpretations obvi but#i think dp fandom has become so far removed from canon at this point that they created a whole new character who just is not danny fenton#and i don't really enjoy it because I always liked danny for the character he HAS not the one i think he should have had instead#this became kind of a tangent and this is probably an unpopular opinion but yeah i just wanted to say my piece#i can't really interact with the dp fandom anymore because they're basically all fans of a made-up show at this point

If there is magic in the light world, I will eat my hat
And here's why:
We've already seen a world with magic, so every difference between worlds is important:
toriel's stove
the books on magic in the librarby- note that in deltarune it's a book of magic *tricks* that require *floating hands*
this also comes with a more profound understanding of the soul than we have in deltarune...
2. The Direct Evidence
Note that Susie and Noelle here are listing the ways in which the dark world is DIFFERENT than the light world, also following on that last line...
sorry I got something in my eye
note again, that magic is referenced in terms of tricks- sleight of hand- only further emphasized by the name "jongle" a portmanteau of the words "juggle" and... something else (this carries over in JP)
now this one is slightly more esoteric, but bear with me-
the mere fact of a bathroom and the lack of healing the hot chocolate provides means that the food, quite simply, is not magic like it is in UT- it is decidedly mundane
LAST AND VERY IMPORTANT POINT:
DETERMINATION =/= MAGIC
THE ABILITY TO SAVE AND LOAD IS NOT, BY LORE, MAGIC
THE ABILITY TO CREATE DARK FOUNTAINS IS NOT, BY LORE, MAGIC
3. The Counterarguments
This first one is easy to move past, and a fairly weak argument overall, but it involves, in particular, catti:
pretty suspect right? until you consider the surrounding dialogue
She's an edgy goth teen- this is in reference to her family being loud.
again pretty convincing right? not really no:
"studying the occult" from a goth teen is about as reliable as it sounds- and on the same level as the party tricks from earlier.
the second counterpoint is something along the lines of "but what about noelle and snowgrave"
to which the obvious answer is: we already know one line of spells from the "Dragon Blazers" games, it isnt much of a stretch for snowgrave be the metaphorical firaga to flare of final fantasy
Another relatively tame explanation could be that our monster allies simply *know* spells upon entering the Dark World (Susie with Rude Buster, Berdly with his Tornado) and snowgrave is either something she acquired through the route (Like susie with ultimate heal) and REALLY doesn't want to use, or a spell she simply actually doesn't know.
The other two counterpoints however, are harder to dismiss, and they have specifically to do with monster biology
Monster Funerals, technically speaking
While not directly stated in game, its a fairly reasonable assumption to make that the reason monsters turn to dust when they die is their lack of physical matter. Where this becomes relevant is through Father Alvin's infamous line about "this hammer" which implies that the burial tradition (and thus the physicality) remains constant between the two games. This would imply that, in-spite of the food and bathrooms, monsters are still made mostly of magic (further obscured by the lack of confirmation on monster blood we have)
2. Blookster
Let's assume for a second that monsters are physical. That they are confirmed to have blood and dont turn into dust and all that comes with it. Then what about Ghosts?
hmm.
(many images stolen from @nochocolate )
#utdr#deltarune#theory posting#this was mostly made in response to#the recent HBC vid#which made me unreasonably upset#so I'm sorry if that comes off in tone here#but still#anyway ghosts are probably just#like that#or there is magic but its somehow “forgotten”#while this theory has the potential to age like milk#especially with chapters 3 + 4 coming soon#I don't want people to watch HBC and reach the right conclusion#for the wrong reasons#anyway#if you can think of any other arguments for/against#I'd love to hear them!#long post

RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence
Tagged by @alittleflashvibe thank you! I am very excited to read your fic from that sentence. I haven't done mountains and mountains of writing for the past few days (having a break after somehow managing to get those other fics done), but I have finally had an idea for the Wally Fic! Still a little bit between what I have and the part I've just written, but I am having Ideas so here's a sentence:
“Time is a gift,” Henry said.
Tagging @goldheartedchaoticdisaster @shrinkthisviolet @angst-is-love-angst-is-life @kitkatt0430 @ftl-faster-than-life @simpledontmeanpeachy if you'd like?
#of course this is because i actually sat down to write the flashvibe ghost au but i have made inchings of progress on both now which is good#i think i actually could do a chapter break here then just skip forward in time that should work#i'll get my laptop and stick s2 on tomorrow that should get it moving#debating singing it up to the wip big bang but i'm not that optimistic yet and their rules strongly encouraging having a beta#so i guess if anyone would be willing i'd hugely appreciate it but i don't know if i'll sign it up yet or not#sign ups go till the end of may so i'll think it over some more#one day of having ideas does not mean i can whack out the fic that's been a wip for like 4 years in a few months#and i might open my laptop tomorrow and go back to the flashvibe ghost au i just got to the part cisco finds out he's talking to a ghost#anyway#replies#wip#*

When your friend needs you to be there to comfort them, but you have no energy for serious conversations and so you're stuck wondering if youre being a selfish asshole or if youre justified in not wanting to be the one to sort their problems out
#vent#its not like they didnt offer to hear my problems. but i just dont want to talk about. or anything#i dont want serious conversations. i dont want to have to worry about other people. i just cant.#im just so fucking exhausted and i dont know if its talking to them and feeling drained by the fact that theyre going through something-#-and that i need to be the therapist or if im just sick. again.#plus yesterday i slept late. my mum made me cry (i think she was just tired out by that point in the day so i doubt it was personal)#and just#im fucking tired ok#and I'm sorry im a bad friend#i just dont have energy. i want to have good energy around me to try give me some.#but when theyre upset it gets into me and drains me and I've been there as much as i can but i just cant right now. im too tired#i know im a shitty person but literally everyone got to be a shitty person at my expense so isnt it my fucking turn?#and then assuming i was acting like that to hurt them. I DO NOT WANT TO HURT ANYONE. IF WE HAVE A FIGHT I WANT TO MOVE ON.#I'm not gonna be caught up in it if we resolved it#but yeah. long story short they're going through shit and i feel like shit#and i think them going through shit is what makes me feel like shit. because i worry about them#and they can lash out on me#i just dont know anymore. i dont know if im an awful person or not#last year i broke up with a friend and my mum said I'll do the same with the next friend#it wasnt my fault#that friend ghosted me#im trying not to be her rn too and im scared that ive been in the wrong im scared im a shitty person too#but at the same time im too done to even really care#i just wanna stop fucking feeling all this and just get on with my day

6, 12, 30 for the writing asks ^_^
6. What’s the last line you wrote?
Shaking its head in what seems like disbelief before meeting his eyes again, almost like it wants to say something before it makes a noise like a growl, "oh, you're one of those seraphs, aren't you. A star-eater. No wonder you act like you've lost your mind."
(ignore that that's a couple sentences, the Thought is important)
12. Do you outline your fics? If yes, how detailed are your outlines? How far do you stray from them?
Oh yes! I outline my fics thoroughly. Though, I do allowed myself to deviate as much from the outline as I feel like when things go off the rails.
Some snippets of planning from a couple fics & concepts:
My outlines are very... One for one. With some exceptions. I tend to basically write a very brief version of the fic and try to get the feelings and words right before I actually write it. This is... Also why it can and will take me a month to write a oneshot. I try to get things Right.
30. How much do you edit your fics? Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft?
So! I edit them a bit? I edit while I work, but often I don't really touch anything I've already written unless it's something longer that might be taking a few months to get through. I think the fic I've edited the most is the prologue of Artificial Stars, which was originally a quickly written 2k oneshot into about 5k of actually decent fic.
Usually I don't edit to make something shorter/more concise, since I tend to only come up with more ways to bridge concepts when I go back to it. Also to be fair... There's usually no difference between first draft and final product. I cannot be asked to edit my fics after I write them, I just release them to the birds and pray for the best. (Unless I actually decide to show it to my beta reader in full instead of just sharing snippets as I... usually do.)
Conclusion: Rarely, those thangs are being given to the world as-is unless something is horrifically wrong with them
#ask a ghost#asker: solxr-planet#ask game#i get a little silly sometimes but also uhhhHH!! welcome to several things i havent posted about before#grey notes is an oc thing that will never be finished but i still have the line-by-line dialogue between two characters that is.#kind of how i plan dialogue? at least how i outline it.#i'm super picky with it and i plan stuff so much that you can usually tell pretty quickly when something isn't planned#ALSO!#scene titles!#nobody sees them ever but theyre there for me and me alone#usually theyre song lyrics or something i think is important to the concept but also other times theyre just kind of silly#“all the candy you can eat” is a song title from one of my favorite albums.#honestly i think this is the first time i've shared anything of my writing that is even remotely roshambo-centric#i am still learning how i want to write & characterize him so its a bit funky#haunted bookshelf#purely for the random stuff that's in there#also! i started breaking things up into scenes rather than just chapters and it helped a hell of a lot with my process#since it's easier to divide when there's a lot potentially happening in a chapter of something#or even just in a oneshot#my process is. definitely made for the way i write. i don't think i would ever recommend anybody do what i do with my fics#also yes i could actually just edit my plans and call that a fic because really that is the effort i put into them.#theoretically you could call my outline my first draft because really that is the way that it is
