An electric core

Danny would never forget.

The smell of smoke.

The flash of light

Green electricity shooting what appeared to be lightning all round him.

The pain shooting from his arm. Then the beam of light shooting around him. A green ring transforming him.

The screaming form he and his friends

Dying and coming back.

Everything changed from that day.

Lichtenberg scars now ran along his arm.

No longer able to storm watch with his friends. Thunder began to bother him often accompanied by lightning. He couldn’t watch shows with bright flashes or lightning. Lights flickering began to happen around him. The power lines had overloaded around him. Sparks coming off the lines. Electronics became a taunt. Even having fried a motherboard his parents had left out. No longer was he playing his video games.

Activities he once enjoyed brought him back to his death. A memory he wanted to forget. One he could never forget. No form was safe from the memories.

Then powers came with his death

Becoming a halfa wasn’t the worse.

Original he thought he’d enjoy the powers. Being invisible, the ability to walk through wall, and even flying. Danny thought it would be great. Play some pranks and have some fun. Something good had come from the event.

Then the ghost appeared.

And then being a halfa was the worst.

His parents never shut the portal down. There Fenton lock was a joke. How often did his dad leave it open? Far too often. Only to catch ghost as if they were fish flinging them into the human realm. Every ghost, ever rogue, any entity that made it through made his life a living nightmare. No need to attack the humans. Even without touching his friends made him relive the accident.

All because of his ghost sense.

Not some silly little breath. No chill along his spins. Not a cool warning.

No.

It was shockingly horrible time. His scars would glow green. Lights could flicker, blowing a breaker or two. The feeling of a being shocked is what got him. It wasn’t painful, not at all. It just brought him back to the accident. Every time a ghost appeared.

Lunch Lady was his first experience. He couldn’t stand her appearances anymore. Even with the shocks so minor she laid the foundation. That experience had been the worst.

The screaming

Falling to the ground

His scars glowing a light green.

Vison fading black.

Remembering his death

The muscle spasms that followed.

Forgetting to breathe

It was too much.

Anytime a ghost was near it happened. Always starting from the middle. If only he could just get used to it. Even without pain his arms always had phantom pains after. Danny just needed the ghost to stop coming through the portal.

He’d rather surprise attacks.

Keeping box ghost in the thermos became more considered each time he showed up. Boxy took no hints, only wanting to cause chaos. An escape nearly every day. If his ghost sense wasn’t so bad, he would be worth the effort. He had been ready to just trap him for eternity.

The first three months absolute torture. There was no relief. Everything set him off. There was no escape.

The more it happened the less he remembered. Having been forced to process what had happened. To realize and accept his death.

No more muscle spasm

No being unable to breathe.

Hardly any memories

Never forgetting but not being reminded.

He accepted his ghost sense. It wasn’t a problem anymore. It was a part of him and would be as long as he had these powers.

Then they grew. The powers just had to get worse. His so-called ghost sense was happening at random. Even when no ghosts were around. It didn’t make sense. How can someone get used to something that changes. The level of shock, muscle spasm randomly occurring.

One day lightning shot from his hands. The flashes of the portal came shooting back. Danny couldn’t stop it. Green lightning kept coming out of him. The more it happened the less control he had. The strikes were wild and unpredictable.

His powers scared him.

The flashes brought him back. He couldn’t help but get lost in his thoughts. A reminder of what happened each time the lightning came from him.

Random green sparks. Random strikes. More storms happening in amity.

All his fault

Everywhere he went set him off.

Forced into his mind too much.

He just wanted to suppress it.

Once he held out. Lasted a week. It forced its way out. Causing him to collapse in pain he hadn’t felt since the accident. Everything burned from his chest spreading out. It wasn’t just memories. Danny thought it would kill him.

Anytime he attempted to suppress it would force itself out.

It was a curse.

Danny couldn’t get rid of it. He didn’t know how to or if it was even possible.

Danny doesn’t remember ending up in the ghost zone. One second his vison had gone black. The flash of his green lightning, the next he is floating in the ghost zone. The word faded and he is in the far frozen. Doesn’t recall getting here but he was.

Frostbite had greeted him in concern. All Danny could feel was the hum of static.

Apparently, he had a core.

Something he needed to survive. The thing that allowed him to use his powers.

An Electric core.

The yetis explained he needed to control it. If he didn’t use his powers, it would force itself out. The more he suppressed the more it would hurt. If he was scared the powers would run wild. There would be no control if he didn’t accept them.

They had ice cores. They couldn’t help.

Technus could and did.

The two had set aside their differences. Technus took a break from his conquering the world bit as he only took it as a challenge. Technus had felt the core long before Danny even knew it was there. He only went after the world as Danny did accidently suggest it.

Technus helped him use his powers. Make it apart of himself and even taught him party tricks.

Charging his phone without a cord.

Even some basic tech control. He could make a remote car work without the remote.

Making lights flicker on command. That was a fun way to mess with his parents.

The lightning was his to control. Not the other way. It was his.

Danny still had off days. The random muscle spasms that came from being over charged. Lightning was attracted to him. He still didn’t like storms.

Those days were better spent with his friends.

#dannymay2023 #dannymay day 8 #electric core #danny does not like it one bit #technus was low key challanged #you know if someone was suggesting me to take over the worls #id be tempted #Technus was not self aware #I am self aware enough to know id fail #so i just wouldnt

note: pollmaker is thinking of the USAmerican lottery system (powerball, mega millions, state lottos, scratchoffs, etc), but poll applies to other countries lotteries systems so long as its still the same concept of "big ol state sponsered gambling shit", but not like casino style gambling. u know what i mean, Lottos.

questions for the tags: how regularly, what stuff you play, if you have limits for yourself, if you feel like its a Problem for you, and for funsies the usual 'first thing youd do if you won the lottery' shit

reblog to have absolutely zero effect on your luck either way. just like, absolutely no change in luck whether you reblog this or scroll past. this is the luck neutral post reblog in the next 30 seconds or dont who give a shit

#buzzy #REMAKING BECAUSE I FORGOT THE FUCKING NO OPTION CHRIST im bad at this #do u ever spend so long thinking about every possible 'OP WHY DIDNT YOU MAKE AN OPTION FOR THIS SPECIFIC SITUATION'#that u forget the fucking 'no' optik #polls #poll #lottery #lotteries #the lottery #gambling #okay to repeat my personal answers: yes but i do only $3 per week and ONLY the texas lotto #i do my lucky numbers and i do a multi draw (does the next ten drawings w the same numbers) so that i dont gotta #pay attention to it for a couple of weeks #which makes it less of A Thing #so im not activelt rhinking about it as much #im ya kno impulsive and in the past it was 'ohh $5 per week and scratchoffs' but that meant too much of a #'oh but this week ill spend an extra $5 ive been good....'#and it was too easy for me to justify going overboard #i know 'not playing at all' is the better option but this scratches the itch just enough that i dont feel tempted to impulse buy scratchoffs #while also being p hands off so im not obsessing over it as much #ya kno?#yeah im consistently wasting money but it keeps me from IMPULSIVELY wasting EVEN MORE money #and it means i can keep lotto winning dreams jn the back of my mind #also first thing id do is go to doctors and find out wtf is wrong w me #well not the FIRST first. first first is probs getting myself a little treat like some dutch bros

I love Minnesota. I think it's honestly some of the most beautiful countryside in the world. The people are friendly and the political climate is fair. But God dammit does the winter ever make me want to leave.

#if texas were a little bit less #you know #like that #id be tempted to move there

drew this all the way back in november, before i wrote the ending to recondite; this is what i originally planned in my vague outline, but the fic ended up going in a different direction, so this is inaccurate now. think of this as an alternate ending for funsies i guess VGEAIVGIY

#qkdraws #id in alt #mob psycho 100 #mob psycho #mp100 #mp100 mob #mp100 shigeo #shigeo kageyama #mp100 teruki #teruki hanazawa #body horror #tw body horror #the focus was originally between teru n mob!! but the logistics of how they'd get here ^ vs what i'd written so far #simply didn't allow this alternate ending to happen. ritsu fit better #was tempted to change the story back to make the art accurate but i didn't wanna fuck up the ending w consistency issues #just to save the 10 hours i'd spent on this art #plus it's still fun as a what-if ending yaknow #uhm actual recondite spoilers ahead i guess:#the art may seem ?? not much different from the real ending. it's just teru instead of ritsu there and their outfits r different #and it's day instead of night #but the lead-up is what changed the direction of everything #i didn't originally intend for the cracks in mob's vessel to be so fatal that all the characters were expecting him to die #butthat's just kinda how it played out when i wrote it. and all the little details led to ritsu being the one to hold him while he explodes #and also i just think ritsu thematically fit better. was more satisfying. made more sense i feel #this is what i get for making art of an ending to a wip fic. like some sort of dumbass #i liked this piece when i first made it but now that im lookin at it again ...................Hm.#yeah this sucks GVEAYIVA #oh well tho. up it goes

you know that post about how scholars talk shit about each other when they write the phrase 'one might be tempted to assume,' or however it went. the entirety of crassus scholarship is like this.

#thankfully all i do is make comics and i can do whatever i want as long as i can justify the narrative beat #otherwise id be. ough. id be tempted to write a 600 page biography on him attempting to unravel this #B.A. Marshall mentioning Rawson's article on Crassus that initially intrigued me about him and he counters her assertion #that pompey overshadowed him with the triumph in a footnote like in a way we have come full circle #everyone collectively agrees that pompey and crassus were not the rivals that a lot of people seem to think they were #so im glad that we're all shaking hands on that. and that the rivalry they did have was just. the usual kind expected from the political #scene. very fun! for narrative purposes i will continue to make them periodically bite each other #because every time someone goes 'oh yeah they were heirs to sulla' i think im going to lose my mind #it does in some ways make their repeated alliance a little unsettling tho. like. haha ha ehgh. now we have to contend with #other kinds of parallels

Kozue accession as one of many surprises in an anarchic last year of operation at Ohtori.

In my freshman year of highschool there was a group of kids who spent 8th grade as the last class of students at a middle school that was to be decommissioned. The teachers were all either waiting to jump ship or retiring, a lot of work went undone, alot of student cruelty went unchecked. The upkeep was dismal, the roof leaked, light bulbs that extinguished themselves were not replaced, the students were only allowed in certain parts of the school. There seemed to be a liminality to the experience, spending most of your days within walls that would be torn down that very summer.

That's how I imagine Ohtori without Anthy and her power, a strange dwindling thing still shook by the conclusion of normality and humming with anticipation of the deathblow.

Anyway, Kozue Co-prez!

#not necessarily the path i think she would take but one i think would be interesting and cause tension within a narrative i wont be writeing #kozue kaoru #miki kaoru #touga kiryuu #rgu #post-cannon #kozue i find really interesting in that she oscillates between wanting freedom from the system and power in the system through her brother #so if freedom is her endgame as id like to think it is for the students #than id have her choose the wrong path first but by chooseing to grasp power in her own right it is a step away from co-dependence and #towards self actualisation reguardless #of the position being very bad for her and anyone else given the implied proximity to that bastard Akio #anyway this causes a schizm in the student council leading to two groups meeting separately in a thus unseen basment and the student counci #balcony respectively #like in the schism of 1378 when there where two than three popes in Europe for like 40 years #my art #oh oh final note #was really tempted to give kozue her black rose uniform cause its the best on the show #but i think if she were negotiating she would ask for the boys cut #ended up looking very mcr #revolutionary girl utena

Waaaiiitt hold on i wasn't expecting sss class suicide hunter to be actually good????? It has a shitty name like the million empty rip off light novels and manhwas but it's...so good????????? How?????

I just started binging it today but it's so compelling. It has themes and they're discussed from different angles and it tells stories that matter and the mc actually changes so much throughout the story.

As im writing this im at ch 78 of the manhwa and im just. Floored. Holy shit. I assume there's a lot more in store for me moving forward but goddamn?????? It's so touching, so moving and so cool also. Im impressed. Im amazed. People should be talking more about this wth!!!!

#sss class suicide hunter #sss class revival hunter #why the 2 names #rn im tempted to say that the 1st one is more fitting but realistically what do i know #anyway local man is impressed that manhwa adaptation with *suicide* in the title actually discusses death as one of it central themes #id say it's my personal skill issue because of the amounts of shit media i consume on a daily basis but like #it totally looks like one of those series at firsr glance!!!!!! sue me!!!!!!!#like i keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and for it to give up and become shitty and instead it gets *better*????#illegal. get out of my house.#ssscsh

having a normal one watching Bdubs lim life tonight and thinking about how when Bdubs betrayed Tango in last life, Skizz told Tango that for the sake of team best he had to go and forgive him.

But when Bdubs boogey kills Skizz in lim life before team ties is even really formed, Skizz is allowed to have it out for Bdubs for almost the entire first half of the season, even when the clockers ally with them and it would've been easier to let sleeping dogs lie.

Tango, the perpetually extraneous and undervalued member of his alliances...the too often shoved aside and betrayed...being told it was his duty to the team to forgive bdubs and move on....

But no one—especially not Tango—tried to tell Skizz to let it go.
