you know i think in all this social talk about privilege we forgot that the most fundamental privilege white cishet able bodied allistic people have over the rest of us, no matter what flavor of marginalized, is that they're allowed to be human in all the ugly ways none of the rest of us are, they're allowed to have their lives fall apart, and commit crimes, and be rowdy, and act out, and blow up in positive and negative ways without it ever affecting their social group as a whole in any significant way

meanwhile any single one marginalized person carries not only the weight of their own life on their shoulders, but also the lives of thousands or millions of others marginalized in the same way, knowing that, if god forbid, they were to exist as a human in the same way, if they hit a low point, if they break a law, if they fail at achieving success in anything, if they're too loud, or too needy, or too rowdy, the consequences aren't just theirs to bear, they're passed onto every single one of that person's brothers and sisters worldwide as well

a muslim can't shoot someone without all muslims being terrorists

a gay person can't contract an STD without all gays being disease ridden

a woman can't lash out without all women being hysterical/hormonal

a disabled person can't complain about poor/non-existent accommodations without all disabled people being entitled welfare queens

a trans person can't detransition without all trans people being deluded about who they are

a black person can't shoplift a candy bar without all black people being criminals in gangs

a homeless person can't spend money on non-essentials without all homeless people being liars and thieves

a chronically ill person can't abuse pain medications without all chronically ill people being addicts

a fat person can't overeat without all fat people being gluttonous pigs

an autistic person can't melt down without all autistic people being obnoxious and annoying

an immigrant can't have their documents expire without all immigrants being illegals

an ace person can't enjoy kink without all ace people being confused

a jewish person can't be an authority figure without all jews being evil, shady world overlords

a bisexual person can't sleep around without all bisexuals being cheating promiscuous whores

i could go on and on and on

a marginalized person's life is never just our own, and what happens to us is never contained to just us, it has widespread consequences for the millions of others in our group

each one of us is socially held responsible to be perfect, live perfect, feel perfect, look perfect, etc etc lest we make our entire marginalized class "look bad" and thus deepening problems for everyone else

this, above all else, is in my opinion the fundamental, most crucial privilege that non-marginalized hold over everyone else

the privilege to just exist as you are, as a flawed, imperfect person that can do ugly things, that can experiences life's lowest lows and highest highs without scrutiny blowing back on everyone remotely similar to you

…Dannny Phantom fics often talk about Amity being chill with ghosts and whatnot, yet I don’t think I’ve ever really seen the logical conclusion of that:

Dying but just… keeping going.

A kid at Casper High dies in an accident and comes back in for class a few days later. Moves the memorial off their desk to make room for their notebook.

An elderly book club member shows up to the new meeting semi-transparent. They laugh off any concern with something along the lines of “At least my back pain’s gone!”

Someone calls in to their job like, “Hey, uh, I died. Does… does that mean I get the day off?”

No one quite knows how to react. Phantom shows up the first few times to ask if everything’s alright, but then starts to leave them be.

It’s… fine?

At first, people very carefully walk on eggshells around the topic of death, but it gradually fades into the background. People just treat it as a new rule of polite conversation. The world goes on. It’s still just Amity Park, the most haunted city in America.

They’ll have to address it eventually, they know. It’s far too big not to. But for the moment, things just keep going as they were.

Obsessed with Blind! Eddie Munson meeting Steve and them hitting it off like instantly. And Eddie bragging constantly over the phone to corroded coffin/hellfire because Steve is great. He’s funny and bitchy and he makes all these sounds that drive eddie crazy —- anyway, he’s just super excited for his boyfriend to finally meet his friends.

And then when it finally happens it goes different than expected because yeah Eddie knows Steve is great…. What he didn’t know was…

“Holy shit,” Jeff says into the weird silence after Eddie’s introduction.

“What?” Eddie is worried.

“He’s hot,” Jeff says like it pains him to admit. “Like… like really, really hot. Like he might be a model hot.”

“Is he blind too? What’s he doing with Eddie?” Gareth asks under his breath and then grunts like he just got an elbow to the gut for it.

Steve just laughs. “Thanks,” he tells Eddie’s friends.

He doesn’t sound too embarrassed about it or like it’s a joke at all that his friends have concocted and holy shittttt

“Wait,” Eddie says quickly, twisting to hold Steve’s hands, “wait, wait, wait, are you— just how out of my league are you???”

“Eons,” Gareth wheezes.

“I’m not out of your league,” Steve says and Eddie can practically hear the eye roll as he tugs Eddie close and kisses him on the cheek. “Obviously.”

Obsessed with the sudden shift in Cas' willingness to say insane romantic shit to dean in season 8. A couple of seasons ago, he would tell dean that they had a profound bond to his face. That everything he did, he did for Dean. Now? He's hesitating. He clenches his fists to avoid hugging Dean back in purgatory. He stutters and looks away before saying he stayed away from Dean to protect him. When asked what broke through heaven's brainwashing, he looks away and says he doesn't know. It's so interesting to me

Danny commits to the Bit a bit too hard...

So! For the first few weeks after his accident, whenever Danny would try to help the people of Amity Park, he would be treated as a Villain.

No matter if he had just defeated the Big Bad of the Week or saved a Cat from a tree, everybody in town only saw him as a Monster or Villain to he feared and hunted down. Danny was really getting sick of trying to get them on his side, until Sam made a suggestion.

"Why not just...play into it?" She said, barely looking up from painting her nails.

It was just an offhand suggestion, but it stuck with Danny. Why shouldn't he lean into it? The people of Amity Park already saw Ghosts as Evil, and they already assumed he was in cahoots with the Ghosts attacking the town. Why shouldn't he just...play into it?

So he does just that.

From that day on, whenever Phantom was spotted he would dramatically monologue about his Evil Plans, or claim that another Rogues attack on the City was his own act of terror.

Box Ghost destroys the towns Warehouses? It was on his orders.

Ember mind controls masses of Teenagers? All part of his Plans somehow.

Every Adult in Town is kidnapped by Young Blood? Danny gave them over to a friend as a Gift.

He crafts an identity for himself as the most Vile and Horrible Ghost that has ever attacked the City, using his own infamy to cement his legend even more firmly. The town only sees a Monsterous Villain, who has eveded capture near effortlessly for months on end, who constantly attacks their City and gets away with it.

Of course he still needs an excuse for how his plans keep getting stopped, and he gets it when his girlfriend Valerie becomes the Red Huntress. Before that, he just claimed infighting or the Fentons getting lucky, but Valerie becoming the Town's Hero meant he had a plausible excuse for how he kept getting "Foiled".

Val was suspicious, because she was not as involved as Phantom painted her to be, but in the end she had no proof of him faking his defeats. And she couldn't come up with any explanations for why he would do that in the first place. I mean, who would fake being a Supervillain? It had to he something else.

This did come back to bite him a while later, when the Justice League decided that enough was enough, and dispatched Justice League Dark to recruit Red Huntress and help Deal with him.

Coincidentally, that was the same day Pariah Dark attacked the Mortal Realm and sucked Amity Park into the Ghost Zone.

And honestly? Danny had spent over a Year proclaiming himself as a Villain who commanded Ghosts to attack the Human Realm, and he had heard about the Right of Conquest being Absolute in the Ghost Zone, so why not make it official? Why not overthrow the Ghost King, become the Ghost King, and cement his identity as a Villain while also forbidding Ghosts from entering the Human Realm without his permission?

He may have gotten a bit carried away and forgotten that the Villain thing was a disguise...but hey! He was still preventing Ghost Attacks! ...mostly. That's got to count for something right?

He may have let the Bit run a bit too far...
