For the one and only Things That Bleed, by @ghostly-cabbage @kkachis and @artistfingers
I am in love with SCP Danny’s design (cred goes to the aforementioned authors), glowing ribcages are my new favorite thing.
Also I need to remind ya’ll that this niche chunk of fic does not require knowledge from any of the fandoms (Alex Rider, Danny Phantom, SCP) since it was written to be accessible to anyone, so if you like any of the following: Found Family, Hidden Identities, Creepy Government Agencies and Eldritch Horror Danny, I highly recommend it ! The love and teamwork put into this story is truly incredible :]
Good evening and please take these 5/2 human beans gently in your palms.
Hmm? Where are they from, you ask?
Why, it's the one and only Things That Bleed! Written by @ghostly-cabbage , @kkachis , and @artistfingers . In which it establishes the possibility of sometimes family being a child spy, a scary scary assassin, and an eldritch horror boy.
Recently went back for a ... I honestly lost count how many times I've re-read this story. It's a gift that just keeps on giving, sometimes I just like go back to get soaked in the Scenery of quiet and restless hotels and underground parking lots and long car rides. hohoho don't let these mundane elements deceive you >:)
One thing I like to imagine is the post-reveal relationship these three may have, when Alex and Yassen get comfortable around Danny's ghost form, how they might just sit around in some rundown motel figuring out the next course of action but like. With a fun-sized eldritch noodle spreaded out on the bedsheets. Draped over the TV. Curled up in the cool tub or mini fridge. Rolling and eeling under the bed. Letting Alex wear him like a scarf. Yeah... yeah.
I am not certain how soft and fluffy these three can be when they spend enough time (and experience some Horrors) together, so these may be a bit ooc. but, well. I had fun drawing and I have faith in them💪

So, I've been reading a really good fanfic called "Things That Bleed" by @artistfingers, @kkachis, and @ghostly-cabbage (or collectively @thingsthatbleedfic) and wanted to show my appreciation.
My goodness, I am clutching my pearls, doing a little jig, and gently sobbing into a silken handkerchief because of this fanfic. It has rotted the core of my brain, the two hemisphere are unable to recover. I don't even know anything about the SCP or Alex Rider fandom but damn, am I enraptured. The building of tension, wholesome and unwholesome relations feeling grounded in contrast to the crazy situations they live through. Muah, miraculous writing, you can tell the amount of effort put into this thing.
Anywho, have SCP-6377 aka spooky boi number one, Danny Phantom.
Things That Bleed by @artistfingers , @ghostly-cabbage and @kkachis
I was in the mood for some horror stories and I always saw this fic as a recommended fic on my dash. And yeah it's awesome go read it! Also, I really like the font and the formatting it's really nice on the eyes. I was inspired to make make a model for SCP!Danny and to animate a scene from it.
The animation is the barn scene(chapter 4) from Officer Alvarez POV. (I wish I could add some audio but I'm not a sound designer.)
And here are a turnaround and some screenshots for the Dannymodel but with his normal hairstyle.
you know him. you love him. it's. SCP!Danny !! (puppy version)
the first is one of my original things that bleed pitch sketches, and the second ones were a little later! these are based on designs by @kkachis with bonus inspiration from her SWWDF illustration too hehe
you can probably tell that the initial tone of my proto-TTB sketches was super lighthearted. then it quickly became. less lighthearted >:)
it's hard to believe i first tossed out the initial idea of TTB to Kei and Kkachi one year ago today! it's literally insane that it's been a full year. i've had so much fun creating TTB with them, and sharing it with yall, it's been beyond amazing and means the world to me 💚
by the way, things that bleed chapter 3 is up!! (☆▽☆)
some sketches of TTB!danny's design from the alex rider and SCP foundation crossover fic i'm writing with @artistfingers and @dp-belongs-in-a-hoodie :)
A redraw of the meeting scene from Things That Bleed by @artistfingers , @ghostly-cabbage and @kkachis. (Amazing fic btw go read it)
I wanted to use the opportunity to experiment with using colour whilst still maintaining the tone of the fic. Not sure if I quite hit the balance, but here we are. I specifically challenged myself to not give Danny a black or grey Jumper, in attempt to keep some of the og character in there whilst still conveying this more feral version.
This was fun to draw! I feel an art style synthesising through this one and im excited for what I might make in the future! :)
Hello everyone! We’re finally back with another update!

Chapter Summary: There’s a slight change of plans.
Chapter Word Count: 8k
Sleeping at night in hotel beds is not getting any easier, the second day in.
The muscles in his neck and shoulders twist themselves into cords that braid further down along his spine, attached to bone like spiderwebs.
He presses down on something like a shudder. Flesh—chained fibers, wet organs, sluggish weight… That hasn’t been him for a long time. Every minute of being like this is a reminder. His muscles are rusty, underused.
All that said, the lingering wound on his side is well on its way to fully healed, with the energy he’d gathered yesterday. The skin is less tender—less discolored, probably, if he were willing to look at it.
He watches the time on the clock tick by. Gravity tugs at his skin. The mattress is soft, softer than the beds at the last two hotels they’ve stayed in.
It doesn’t help like he thought it would.

Yassen hums slowly. “Barriers can be broken. His. Yours.”
“Not completely,” Danny says. “The way it is for me, information can… leak through, passively. Like his name. And because I’m—a medium, he can show me things. Memories. But that’s it. Nothing else.”
Danny moves his gaze back to Yassen.
“Next time Julius shows up, he won’t touch Alex, I swear. He won’t be able to.”
There’s tension in the air that makes it hard to swallow as Danny stares Yassen down.

We’re finally back with an update! Thank you to my co-authors (@artistfingers and @kkachis) and our team of dedicated betas! (@faedemon @loreshark @abrielarnold ) Truly, I’m grateful to all of you everyday!
More @thingsthatbleedfic doodles because brainrot. I chose a very bad time to start a new fic, which resulted in me using part my self study sessions between midterm subjects to doodle on my notebook. rip self control. But! I used them as a base for these drawings so, hurray? …No hard feelings, right Mr. Wen?
I can’t get over how often Alex has to tug Danny out of his Trance and/or drag him around by the sleeve, it makes my heart do the happiest wiggles.
Also Yassen is a doberman and you cannot tell me otherwise.
my top tip for surviving any roleplaying community is to understand the golden rules "in character =/= out of character" and "RP boundaries can and should be negotiated ahead of playtime, and can always be renegotiated" and stick to them. which means that "a character's behaviour, and the ways they interact with other characters, do not mean that the player harbours any of those sentiments unless expressed otherwise out of character" but also "all players have a right to express discomfort or dissatisfaction with the ways we're interacting through the medium of our characters, and you should not react defensively or dismiss anyone else's concerns just because it 'isn't real'".
this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...
