Hey all, I’ve officially begun a new Danny Phantom AU: Space Core Danny, the Eldritch Edition.

I’m mostly writing short prompts and thoughts for the moment, but I might put together a full fic. We’ll see where the inspiration takes me. For now, enjoy the newest installment!

———

When the portal flared to life, Danny didn’t fall to the floor or stumble from the machine or any number of things one might expect from encountering death. He did hear himself scream, did learn the agony of harboring lightning within his bones, did feel the unmaking of his very being, but only vaguely, as if watching an old projection movie from far, far away.

No, in that moment, Danny changed.

“At my old job in public education, my office mate invented the concept of the 8 Weeks of Doom. This was defined as the period between New Year’s and Spring Break where it was dark and gray, there were few holidays, and everyone’s seasonal depression hit an all-time high. To combat the 8 Weeks of Doom, she started a tradition of making me a Doom Calendar, which is an advent calendar but for fighting the Doom. She’d include small fidgets, snacks, stickers, and fun tea, which I’d open whenever the Doom felt very high on a particular day. Eventually this turned into a standing tradition of us making each other Doom Calendars, and the concept spread to our whole department. We would eventually just start our department meetings checking in about how everyone was managing the Doom, and did anyone want to open a Doom Calendar door for a quick pick me up? Even though we’re not longer office mates, I still exchange a Doom Calendar with this friend every year anyway. It really does help with the Doom!”

I adore this for the same reason I like winter celebrations/special days: humans realizing they can act to change their perception of reality. The longest dark, the coldest time of the year, can be dressed up as a party with lights and shiny things, or firecrackers and dancing wearing a lion costume. We can clean and make music and loud noises and give each other nice things and if we all do it very hard, together, maybe we won’t be so cold and sad.

I like to imagine he misses the jump and clatters down the wall like a stunned bird.

love love love when a particularly manipulative character is lying off their ass about something and then throws in one hauntingly genuine line

when you forget to strap down the transport box…

like would they travel upright for maximum propaganda when you open the box. or will there be safe saving versions? do secunits go in intact or disassembled? do you assemble them on site like an ikea?

i shared my thoughts on cubicles as fridges and secunit feet and secunit arm guns. now you get the transport boxes.

saw someone say that they don’t read fics under 10k and had to laugh because more fool you, that is where all the bangers are. obviously I’m biased but truly nothing hits like a 1.5k fic with a lowercase title from some obscure poet where nothing actually happens and yet you emerge blinking with a completely new outlook on the character. infinitely rereadable. like a perfectly crafted pastry. I’m gobbling them up!

If you’re in the US military or National Guard, and are given an illegal or unconstitutional order, the GI Rights hotline (1-877-447-4487) is there to help give you the support you need to do the right thing by refusing it. It would be good to think about this now before it becomes a live issue for you and it would be smart of you to memorize that number.

You can reblog this without your thoughts about the US Military, btw, that’s allowed.

In fact: you SHOULD share it without your thoughts on the US Military. If someone in the military sees this number and is considering it, they already know. Just let them see the resource.

I love outsider POV fics that show the protagonist being terrifyingly hyper-competent at what they’re doing, especially when from the character’s internal perspective, they’re highly insecure and doubtful about themselves. The juxtaposition is wonderful.

I don’t know where I read it but one of the best quotes I’ve ever read about the nature of sci-fi was “A good sci-fi story is one that predicts not the car but the traffic jam”

Like if you’re writing “sci-fi” but you’re not interested in speculating about the potential societal implications of the technology that exists in the future you’re imagining then what the fuck are you even doing. That’s not sci-fi that’s fantasy set in space.

so i was recently alerted to the existence of the scifi 3L AU fic series in progress this place is a message by @kaesaaurelia and might have gone a liiiiittle bit crazy over it. i want to do more art for it, but this was just a little thing to get a handle on Scar’s piloting neural implants. scar with an undercut is soooooo choice i love him so much.

definitely check the series out if the tags are of interest to you, and the snippets posted to her tumblr as well ✨
