#or just marsalias's stuff in general

[danis-artss]

Today- today is a good day

Recently got a commission (after like idk 4 months i think)

I just reached 200 followers on instagram (finally)

And most important:

Marsalias finally started updating one of my favorite danny phantom fanfictions: ancestral !!!!!

If my brain would now, just for once, stop stressing about little things and stuff thatll happen in the future, it would be PERFECT

i have once again let my tabs get wildly out of control this past year, mostly with fanfic that i planned to come back to at some point and then never did. or i guess i did now, because i've been sorting through it and actually reading a lot of the things i saved, and. there are some bangers. SO! a short tour of some of my favorites that i can finally close the tab on.

Switchblade by Cacid is the reason I started this list because....holy shit y'all. hoooooleeeee mother of god i should have read this fic sooner but i admit i was a bit put off by the summary, but then someone listed it in their bookmarks as the best bnha fic they'd ever read, so i revisited it and...they were right. they were. so right. it's a canon rewrite that takes a pretty deep dive into worldbuilding and plays a lot with the MLA and its history, and it's. look. i laughed, i cried, i had to take multiple walks, i flailed my arms, i punched the air in victory, i stayed up until 3 am two nights in a row. this fic is a mystery, it's x-men, it's a spy thriller, a war story, it's shakespeare, it's so brutal and so poetic and just. it's so fucking good. i want to print out all 322k words of this, bind it into a book, and eat it. i cannot recommend it enough, i really can't, and if you do or have read it please come scream at me about it

Change One's Spots, also by Cacid is another incredible work...i might rec all their stuff tbh. it's part 2 of a series but part 1 is just an earlier iteration of ch 1 of this fic so you don't need to read it. i read this one when i needed a moment's break from switchblade, and there's some fun worldbuilding overlap between the two even if they're pretty different stories. izuku gets turned into a jaguar in this one. it's great. it's got some of my favorite characterization of gang orca and best jeanist, one of the best takes on the sports festival i've seen in a while, and one of my favorite things about cacid is the things they do with shoto and this fic is just SUCH a good izuku and shoto fic. ski patrol!

pictures of grief by achievingelysium: stain kills tensei in hosu instead of crippling him. god. this one hurt me. it's so short but SO potent.

uninvited by class1akids: class1akids always does really really lovely work about class 1a in general and shoto in particular, and this one is no different. it's got like. theee best touya and shoto scene, and izuku and katsuki being so supportive of shoto, and just. ughhhh it was really good.

wrong answers don't mean you should stop asking questions by vaimeta is one of those that i feel like most people have probably read by now, but i never had until about a week ago. one of the tropes that always makes me giggle with delight is izuku being an extremely unreliable narrator when it comes to his own strength and skills, and then other characters being like, 'look. you are terrifying.' and him like, checking over his shoulder to see who they're talking to because it couldn't POSSIBLY be him. so part 1 of this series has lots of buildup of skills and then part 3 has lots of people going, 'dude you're incredibly skilled,' and him going 'well. um. shucks. really?' and then learning to own it and it's very fun.

well. uh. wow. i've read a lot more in the last couple weeks than i thought. uh. here's more!

gambler's fallacy by marsalias is another canon rewrite, and one that i'd read before but had to reread. izuku has a luck manipulation quirk. it has one of the most fun 'karma!!!' moments i've read. SUCH a great story, gosh i'm grinning so hard just thinking about it now.

i got it from my dealer by rictus_flame: i knew from 'quirks, plural?' in the summary that i would love this fic and gosh was i right. afo is izuku's quirk dealer. they nerd out a lot. it's hilarious and has some really fun lines that had me outright cackling.

bitter rivalry by theotherpacman: y'all. y'allllllllllll, it's a shindeku fic and a slowburn and it is just. i don't want to give too much away but the progression of their relationship is so natural and so beautiful and the TRUST they give each other in this...GOD. it's beautiful, it's so good aughhhh and shinsou! learning to trust first izuku and then getting friends, and izuku learning to let down his guard and embrace all of himself and not just the ideal...and he's got a little bite, too, i love this izuku so muchhhhh. it's approaching the ending now but like. this last little bit is a little heartbreaking and a little hopeful and has one of the saddest and most nuanced takes on all might i've read.

anyway, I'll probably make more posts as i strive to make a bigger dent in my tabs. but that's all for now. gonna go stare at the wall now and think about the last line of switchblade some more.

hi! I’m so sorry if this is a bother, but i thought you might be a good person to ask. i recently rewatched danny phantom as an adult - i loved it as a kid and wanted a good dose of nostalgia. after typing in the tag it was wild to find the phandom still up and kicking (honestly with more passion than i’ve seen from any fandom in my 8 years of tumblr). i immediately came across fanart for phantom of truth which i devoured along with its sequel in just a few days. i also read pits by cordria and loved it, but in the last week i’ve hit a bit of a research lull. i was wondering if you could fill me in on some details - maybe point me in the direction of popular fics or material? also, could you please explain wes weston to me - is there a particular fic he was born from or did he just sort of appear in fan lore? if not no worries, but i’d appreciate anything you had to offer!! thanks :)

Welcome to the phandom!

So the phandom in general is SUPER big on events. We have a year round event's calendar of which we're currently celebrating Ectober Month! You can find the details to that in the calendar along with other upcoming events!

In general, you'll find a LOT of incoming dp fan media through events and their tags, and that's where I tend to find new writers/artists to follow each year.

I've made two in depth posts on Wes Weston, so I'll just link them here [1: the older detailed wes] [2: a more updated wes]. The basic intel though is that yes he's entirely a phandom made OC that we've just adopted to fill a social hole in the dp universe.

There are tons of amazing DP writers and fics. I'll link you a few of my faves! In no particular order,

1. @imekitty (her ffn) is an older phandom writer who is kinda my personal gold standard for angst. She's also done some awesome slash fics though! Her current most popular series is the Disparaged/Dissembled series and fair warning, it's pretty dark!

2. @ecto-american (ghostanimal on ao3) is another older phandom writer who's still super active! He's currently most known for his fic Broken Ectoplasm, which is a bit darker than his usual pieces. Regardless, he has a pretty good range!

3. @five-rivers (marsalias on ao3) is an absolute writing fiend. I literally can't think of a genre of fic that they haven't written. They're currently best known for their monster of a longfic Mortified, which is ongoing and currently sits at a 258 chapters, or a little over a half million words. I personally am a big fan of their Exhumed series.

4. @wastefulreverie (her ao3) doesn't write a ton for dp anymore, but her archive of fics is AMAZING. Every so often I'll just go binge her writing, it's seriously fantastic. I think she has written some of my favorite angst fics that I've found so far.

5. @ladylynse (lynse on ao3) is another really big writer who also does a fair amount of crossovers if you're into that. Currently, her biggest fic is The Trouble With Ghosts which is an extremely popular fic currently. Good stuff!

6. @things-i-cannot-do-in-amitypark (their ao3) has several extremely popular fics on ao3 and ffn. I definitely recommend checking out their stuff. They've been writing DP for years and really have a great grasp on narration and building an exciting story.

7. @kinglazrus (UnluckyAlis on ao3) is actually one of the fastest writers I've ever freaking met. They're most known for their fic The Survivalists which is about Danny's class disappearing only to be found stranded on an island. Overall, really fun writer and also a cool person as well.

8. I know you said you read Pits, but @cordria has a TON of oneshots on her Tumblr as well as her ffn and ao3. I've been following her works for years and she really is an absolute S tier writer.

9. Shift by CaptainOzone is literally my favorite dp fic ever written. The basic premise is that Danny didn't grow up in Amity, and is revealed as Phantom right before he moves there. Oz is an outstanding writer and I'm super pumped they dipped their toes into DP for this fic.

10. when im dead, my dearest by redrobin1989 is only three chapters long, but i think honestly it really exemplifies an incredibly well written Valerie-centered fic. I go back and reread it every so often because wowowow.

11. Roughing It by Haiju is a big phandom favorite. You already read PoT/SOAD, so I know you'll like this one hahaha.

12. The Ghost Of Heroes by Enigmaris and ScarletNightFury is a really popular DP/MCU crossover starring an amazing bond between Danny and Spiderman. It's a pretty lighthearted fic, but it's super fun and the storylines are really engaging.

13. Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time by MissMegHolden is a DP/Young Justice fic that's very popular right now if you like that crossover. It's ongoing and updates semi-regularly. I've been following it for a while and I love it, though this is one of my fave crossover types (and I'm a big fan of DP crossovers lmao).

14. In The Eye of a Needle by mystyrust is an extremely popular DP/BNHA crossover fic that is completed. This is another one of those fics I go back and reread a lot.

Okay I could keep going but I'm going to stop here for now. All in all, I definitely recommend scouring event tags for new writers/artists. The phandom also has a discord that you can always DM me for an invite. The phandom in general is extremely chill. We're an older fandom so we really don't have drama or anything.

Once again, I welcome you and I hope you have fun!

(oh quick plug my own ao3 i write a lot of angst)
