The Phantomphase Girls

The Danny Phantom crossover AU of The Powerpuff Girls that nobody asked for but has taken over my mind.

The city of Townsville is home to the fantastically brilliant inventor Professor Utonium, who is working on his magnum opus, a portal to the Ghost Zone. Most believe ghosts and their home dimension to be nothing more than folklore, but the Professor knows they’re real and sees great potential to improve the world in the properties of ectoplasm and the technology it makes possible. Also, he believes in that scientific ideal of knowledge being valuable for the sake of it.

His fourteen-year-old adopted fraternal triplets Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles (that’s their birth order, meaning that’s the order they go in) have lived with him since they were infants. They’re accustomed to his eccentric inventions and helping him out in the lab. Therefore when the ghost portal seems to be a dud, Buttercup thinks little of daring Bubbles to enter it. Bubbles is too nervous and agrees only if her sisters accompany her. Blossom, eagerly examining their father’s most ambitious construction, accidentally hits a backup activation switch. The girls are killed changed by the portal ripping open through them - an agonizing experience that each will blame themselves for. They discover upon waking that they’re half-ghost, ectoplasm bonded to their DNA giving them ghostly forms and superpowers; meanwhile, the portal’s opening has unleashed many malevolent members of the Ghost Zone into their city. Well, the Professor raised them to be kind, altruistic and responsible. They know what they have to do. They have to stop all the ghosts that are coming through! They’re here to fight for me and you! And so, Townsville’s days are to be saved… thanks to the Phantomphase Girls!

Like in their original show, the girls don’t bother having secret identities. Everyone in Townsville knows they’re the local superheroes, as they can’t control their powers at first and quickly attract attention. This removes a lot of secret-keeping drama and allows their dad, teachers, classmates and all others that they interact with to take into account that they hold very demanding unpaid jobs out of the goodness of their hearts, but of course villains sometimes target the Professor and their friends. The girls wear light pink/green/blue, their respective ghost energy colours, with black and even less white accents. Their ghost forms wear their civilian outfits with the main colour and black inverted and the white turned silver, and their hair is white. Robin Snyder, their best friend and biggest fan, later prints their official logo, a swirling heart-shaped ghost portal, onto each of their tops in black with pink/green/blue swirls while they’re human.

Blossom has an ice core. It manifests passively as detecting the paranormal chill of nearby ghosts. She’s keen to scientifically determine the exact nature and capabilities of her ghost form, sharing the Professor’s intellectual drive, and masters her active cryokinesis pretty early on. Her eyes are uniquely affected, turning from brown to pink and glowing blue when using her ice powers. The team leader, she prefers to observe and analyze situations (so the eye thing suits her symbolically) and thoroughly plan before doing field work. She also understands the Professor’s ghost energy-related technology designed to aid their crusade against the dangerous ghosts and exploration of the Ghost Zone the best of the triplets and uses it the most frequently and effectively. Her main flaws are overconfidence and overachieving - she sets herself lofty goals and high expectations in both her civilian and superhero lives, wanting to do it all and grow up too fast, then brittly snapping when things don’t go perfectly.

Buttercup has an earth core. It manifests passively as her ectoplasmic body being naturally hard and firm as solid rock. This increases her strength and makes her the team’s heaviest hitter, a role she likes just fine with her aggression and love of adrenaline. It takes her the longest to gain her active elemental power, geokinesis, because she simply doesn’t consider the complications it adds to her straightforward fighting style necessary, and it requires the cocky, impatient girl to acknowledge her immediate powers aren’t always sufficient, wait and think about how to use her environment. Ordinary life has been boring her for years. So she finds true purpose and fulfilment in being a superhero - improving herself and helping people through her own merits and endless challenge - at the cost of letting her struggling grades and social life slip even further. Relating to her peers has never been easy for her, unlike her sisters, and now she feels still more isolated.

Bubbles has an air core. It manifests passively as super hearing, due to detecting sound waves in the air within a large radius; from there she learns to actively amplify sound waves in a new power, the ghostly wail, during a crisis and subsequently unlocks proper aerokinesis. Her blue hair scrunchies are transformed into translucent, faintly luminous rings of blue ectoplasm. Her pigtails are constantly blown upward by her ‘inner wind’ that doesn’t affect anything else. When she pushes her command of air to the limit, this inner wind dissipates her hair ties (which reassemble once she’s done) and fiercely whips her loosened hair. She definitely isn’t unwilling to use violence, but prefers to resolve problems diplomatically and keeps trying to befriend their enemies. She can be immature for her age, naive and overly trusting, and weak-willed in that occasionally she would rather maintain an unhappy or unhealthy peace than upset and argue with people.

Dick Hardly plays the role of Vlad Masters. University ‘friend’ of the girls’ father grown into a ruthless, heartless CEO? Objectifies the girls and wants to possess them for selfish reasons to the point of cloning them? Captures and tortures them to extract a particular aspect of their biology that will enable him to continue his cloning? Light hair in a ponytail? Come on! He’s a fire core half-ghost like Vlad, having taken a blast from a prototype ghost portal he and the Professor (read: the Professor with him taking the credit) built in university.

Mojo Jojo, Sedusa, Fuzzy Lumpkins, the Gangreen Gang, etc. and the generic monsters of the week are ghosts, either dead human souls or conceptual constructs and fauna of the Ghost Zone.

HIM is the oldest such Ghost Zone native, a primordial embodiment of evil. He rules a dark realm full of malicious spirits. And these three upstart little halfas who repel his minions and beat his twisted games… interest him. Basically, imagine if Pariah Dark was conscious and free in the Ghost Zone from the beginning of Danny Phantom. Yeah. Just be glad he’s mainly content to be a villain indirectly.

Princess Morbucks is the richest kid in Townsville and the haughty, spoiled rotten queen bee at Townsville High School. She’s consumed with envy toward the sisters’ fame and admiration by everyone and in her debut episode “Stuck Up, Up, and Away” has her father’s employees provide her with flashy imitation ecto-tech to attempt to earn a place on their team. They reject her for her lack of powers, but more importantly her lack of moral principles. Enraged, she decides that if she can’t join them, she’ll beat them. She becomes a rival ghost fighter and recurring antagonist bent on upstaging them. It would be easy to leave her the static character she is in canon. However, I can envision a slow burn redemption arc because although it’s based in spite and her massive ego, this Princess actually does good deeds. Protecting citizens, saving lives, being praised and respected for her deeds rather than her heritage or material possessions… feel weirdly good, given time. Between that and the greater threats of Mojo Jojo and HIM forcing her to cooperate with the PPG, she remains vain and petulant but gradually acquires moral restraint and compassion and becomes an antihero.

Brick, Butch and Boomer are unstable prototype clones of the PPG Dick creates in the episode “Kindred Spirits” (they aren’t younger like Danielle is). The plot goes similarly to Danny and Danielle’s plot there. Bubbles is willing to put their mysterious origins aside to make them comfortable, Blossom wants to believe they’re trustworthy but prioritizes answers and Buttercup doesn’t trust them at all. After they betray the girls and yet earn their sympathy for having Dick Hardly as a father, the boys’ loyalty is torn. They believe Dick loves them and his desires are inherently right, but he orders them to hurt the first people to treat them like people. The girls urge them to see that Dick will kill them once he no longer needs them. Despite hesitation, the boys cannot accept that. Meanwhile, the Professor notices his daughters are missing and tracks them to Dick’s lab. In the climax Dick has the PPG in containment chambers so he can sample their mid-transformation DNA to stabilize his perfect clones - who the boys are wrongly informed are them - and Professor Utonium breaks in to rescue the girls. His care and concern show the boys what true fatherly love is. At last they side against Dick and work together with the girls to defeat Dick and destroy the lab. The exertion is tragically too much for their molecular instability and they explode à la Bunny Utonium, leaving the technically victorious girls mourning their new friends. The guilt this causes them haunts them afterward, though the Professor assures them it wasn’t their fault.

In “The Boys Are Back in Town” a few months later, it’s revealed that HIM has resurrected the brothers to be his tools. He’s not only stabilized them, but altered their personalities to make them more instinctively cruel and sadistic and their cores to contrast and counter the PPG’s. Now Brick has a fire core and red ghostly eyes and ghost energy; Butch has a metal core (earth and metal are separate elements in Chinese tradition!) and his ghost body the tensile strength of ductile steel, rendering Buttercup’s ‘brute force at the problem until it stops being a problem’ strategy useless and forcing her to finally get the hang of her geokinesis; and Boomer has an electric core and his previously smooth hair spiky with static. And they have a collective title: the Rowdyraze Boys. Their logo is a red/green/blue and black ghost portal like the girls’, but shaped like a skull. Blaming the PPG for not stabilizing them and lashing out due to all their unprocessed trauma, they enthusiastically battle the girls, threaten people, wreck property and carry out HIM’s plans. The girls are as horrified as you’d expect. They, Bubbles most persistently, repeatedly reach out in friendship. The boys slowly recognize that they’re ensnared in another abusive parental relationship and take a stand against HIM. Trusting the girls again is a big step they aren’t ready for, so they travel the world to experience total freedom and pin down their own identities. Two years later they return to Townsville in peace and Sara Bellum adopts them.

Select Pillar Web page Subjects

The creator’s views are fully his or her personal (excluding the unlikely occasion of hypnosis) and will not at all times replicate the views of Moz.

With a lot content material online, search engines like Google are in overdrive attempting to learn all of it and rank it correctly. Whereas key phrase analysis and related content material remains to be key, your authority on a subject is coming into query increasingly more.

Customers themselves have began to make use of queries which can be longer type, in truth, 29.13% of keywords with 10,001+ monthly searches are made up of three or more words. With the expansion of conversational search intent, pillar web page methods have entered the scene to meet these queries. By offering umbrella-like content material, pillar pages and subject clusters permit for straightforward categorization and clear indication of authority. 

Sounds simple sufficient, proper? Like something within the website positioning area, pillar web page methods take time and quite a lot of planning on doing appropriately. Let’s break down this course of.

What’s a pillar web page?

A pillar web page is a bit of long-form content material, like a information or a white paper, that can function the premise for subject clusters on a selected subject. It provides primary data on its specific subject, with hyperlinks out to cluster pages that delve deeper into a selected side of mentioned subject.

Pillar pages ought to be thorough of their clarification and be framed as an early-stage piece of content material. The cluster pages that the pillar web page hyperlinks out to must also hyperlink again to the pillar web page. (Try this quick Hubspot guide for some nice visualizations.)

What’s a cluster web page?

Now that we perceive the construction of a pillar web page, we will higher comprehend cluster content material. When selecting a subject on your pillar web page, you’ll determine what particular key phrases inside that subject you’d prefer to rank for. Every key phrase then will get its personal devoted web page. That devoted web page is a “cluster page”.

Cluster pages generally is a weblog, a white paper, an answer web page — actually any piece of content material can function a part of the cluster. Since the entire cluster pages are on the identical subject, it ought to be pretty simple to hyperlink out to different associated cluster pages in addition to to the primary pillar web page. This technique not solely organizes your content material library in a cohesive method, it additionally creates broader search engine authority.

How to decide on a pillar web page subject

Selecting the best subject on your pillar web page is integral within the success of the technique.

This will likely seem to be an apparent one, nevertheless it can’t be confused sufficient. Some SEOs get so caught on discovering the best key phrases, that they neglect concerning the huge image. Just like how you’d conduct key phrase analysis, take into consideration options and matters that your product solves for.

That is the place the client persona comes into play. What’s your purchaser looking for, and what questions may they’ve alongside the best way?

Upon getting an inventory of potential choices, select a subject that’s broad sufficient to have the ability to create “cluster pages” round. A question that solely poses a “yes” or “no” reply is not going to be appropriate for this technique.

For instance, “What is communication?” is just too broad of a subject, and “communication between a coworker and boss” is just too particular. Nonetheless, the question “What is effective communication in the workplace?” is broad sufficient to put in writing a protracted piece of content material on, but in addition presents alternatives to hyperlink out to different areas of office communication which can be extra particular.

2. Analyze the SERP

Oftentimes, we will neglect how useful the SERP could be in figuring out associated queries. Enter your pillar web page subject into the search bar and look at the outcomes.

What kind of questions are being requested within the Folks Additionally Ask? Is there a featured snippet? Are there focused adverts on associated matters? These are all nice indicators that you just’ve chosen the best subject. In case your pillar web page subject brings up none of those, maybe it’s higher served as a cluster web page, or perhaps it isn’t the best subject for you in any respect.

Folks Additionally Ask queries could be nice on your pillar web page construction as properly. Would these questions make sense to reply in your pillar web page as H2s or H3s? Are you answering this query in any of your cluster pages? Search engines usually give us the reply to our personal questions, particularly with regards to associated matters.

Auditing your content material can seem to be a frightening job, nevertheless it’s essential within the pillar web page technique course of. It’s tough to start out writing new content material with out figuring out what content material you have already got — you wouldn’t need to find yourself with duplicate content material competing in opposition to your self.

Type your current content material into matters. From there, you’ll be able to determine pages which can be related. Are you able to re-prioritize any of the present content material to suit this technique? Are you able to mix two items of content material collectively? By the top of your content material audit, you must be capable of determine the place your content material gaps are.

That is the place new content material will are available. This course of can even eradicate any duplicate content material, so the reorganization of your content material library can be primed for the perfect outcomes. A Google Sheet together with your library is a secure and simple option to map out this content material.

For the pillar web page technique itself, I like to recommend a Google Sheet with tabs for current content material that must be optimized, new content material that must be written, the construction of the pillar web page, in addition to present rankings.

Right here is an instance of how I type out my overview tab for content material concerning a selected pillar web page subject:

What are the advantages of a pillar web page technique?

This will likely seem to be numerous work, which poses the query, is a pillar web page technique really value it? The quick reply is: sure.

Pillar web page methods power you to try the client personas in your trade. Should you mix these with subject clusters, you’re going to be answering prime of funnel queries, like “what is?”, mid-funnel queries like “benefits of”, and backside funnel queries like “the best of”. Not solely are you creating content material that search engines discover related — you’re creating content material for each stage of your purchaser’s journey.

This enables your customers to simply make their method via the gross sales funnel and bridge any hole you will have had in your gross sales course of. This technique can tie content material creation to income, which is changing into more and more vital in B2B.

Apart from the clean-up that you just get from the content material audit, your web site must also experience legitimate SEO benefits. Once I carried out my technique, there was a transparent indication that it was working. This technique was carried out in the course of February 2021. Each impressions and clicks drastically elevated, and continued to climb via the spring: 

Conclusion

Making a pillar web page technique doesn’t should be tough for those who observe these simple steps:

Use your purchaser persona to determine options you’ll be able to simply write numerous content material about.

Analyze the SERP to know what kind of questions are being requested and what content material is being written round your chosen subject.
