Consider for a moment: A slow-burn identity reveal “no one knows” AU with an emphasis on ghosts being taken seriously as an actual, world-changing threat.

Ghosts are treated as an exceedingly dangerous, but unavoidable force of nature. They can come and go without warning, through naturally occurring spontaneous portals. They're territorial, driven only by obsession and hunger for the living. Particularly powerful ghosts are on par with natural disasters.

Life goes on because there's simply no other option. All major buildings have varying levels of ghost shields, some stronger than others. Just about everyone has some form of personal shield, weapon, or general deterrent. For the most part, humanity takes this apocalypse in stride, barely keeping it all together because there's just enough safety to keep them all sane.

Which is why the rumors of Phantom being able to fully mimic a human body incites panic in Amity.

Phantom was already a nightmare as it was–one of the most powerful and intelligent ghosts on record. His territorial fights with other ghosts for haunting (hunting) grounds in Amity have made global news several times already. Powerful ghosts could appear more human–but to think he was transforming down to a cellular level? Hiding among them? Bypassing ghost shields and alarms? Picking them off one by one?

The focus is mostly with Lancer's class, and how the school deals with this new threat on top of everything else. Everyone is a suspect, no one is safe, and Danny Fenton in particular gets slowly more and more exhausted, apathetic, and… unnerving.

The stress, the lack of sleep, the fighting, no one to turn to, not even his best friends or family–it takes a toll on him. Starving himself doesn't help, but he refuses to do more than take small bites from the ambient life energy and emotion of the living around him. Nothing that won't actually do lasting harm. He begins to slip up more and more, which Sam and Tucker begin to notice but haven't quite connected the dots yet.

But, well. What else can Danny do when Pariah Dark comes knocking on Amity’s doorstep, and his whole class is in the line of fire?

[gothic-mothic-topic]

Mfw one of my favorite characters in a game either isn't popular and barely exists in the fandom, or everyone hates them.

[moiraimyths]

Before we call anon rude because let’s see it from their perspective, imagine getting an entire feast to eat. That can be pretty hard to start with so much that’s going on, but if they start with one thing they know they’ll like (aka one character they like) that can be the start for them leaping to other characters to finish the story and the bigger story. I struggle the same way to start book series if I don’t have at least one character that drives me to read it, it’s all about what can be the hook to push them through. Sounds like the anon is neurodivergent (just a guess) so they might genuinely not see it as rude and see it as a solution to even play the game to start with.

Btw absolutely adore the game, the complex and rich characters making them all so unique is amazing. The art is so pleasing to the eyes I love it!! I’m waiting for it all to get out at once so I don’t get too impatient. Shae however interests me the most, which routes will have the most lore for them? Will there be routes that give more lore in general based on decisions you make or do they all share the same amount? (I mean general lore not just Shae lore)

Apologies; we are not trying to accuse any asker of being rude! We are simply explaining our perspective as the developers / are trying to broadly encourage folks to dip their toes into other areas of the story outside of the main route(s) they're interested in, especially considering some routes will be made available sooner than others, and these other routes will likely contain additional scenes/lore of everyone's fave(s) regardless! We want to give each main cast member an equal amount of love (and lore) regardless of their overall popularity, so our goal is not to tut-tut anyone for having strong preferences for one character over the others, but rather to explain that you may be surprised by how much *more* you learn about your preferred characters in the other routes. That's all!

For Shae... Well, they were a foot soldier for one of the worst periods of the War. Lore wise, any other story that touches on the War will likely have content relevant to them and their experiences. ^^

So today was Lover's Day in my game. A day for lovers to do what lovers do. And a chance for these two love birds to put the studies and family drama behind them and celebrate each other!

Objectives for the holiday are:

Give flowers

Go on a date

Be romantic

That was easy. But then they decided to woohoo on every ride at the carnival, skinny dip together at said carnival and then wickedly finished the evening back at Hope's place.

Successful indeed.

[dollypopup]

so many people out here mad af that Colin isn't in love w/ Penelope from jump and completely ignoring that the single sexiest thing a man can do is be friends w/ a woman wholeheartedly and without having any romantic or sexual expectation from her

[idiosyncraticrednebula]

Almost all of the "criticism" (i.e., hatred, bashing) thrown at Disney Princesses comes directly from a fundamental misunderstanding, misinterpretation and misreading of the core message of their stories and their respective characters and journeys.

[dee-in-the-box]

hey. so uh, while writing something down for a fic, i discovered This lovely conversation between Dave and Henry before (what I presume to be) Dee's murder. it's from a cutscene in the second game i'm pretty sure:

~~~

Dave: It’s a real shame that your springlocks aren’t able to compete with the robots over at Freddy Fazbender’s, Henry…Wouldn’t it be possible to try and go for something more…organic?

Henry: Oh, but that’s exactly the plan, William. Metal has a life-force and breathes, just as we do. It’s the future, Willy. Flesh merged with steel. Steel merged with flesh.

Dave: I don’t get what you mean, Henry…Why exactly did we lure those kids off?! Why did we stuff them into the robots? How does any of this make ‘em more lifelike? I just don’t understand why we’re doing this…

Henry: Give it time, William. One day, you will know the Joy of Creation.

(footsteps)

Henry: Willy…I need you to follow me into the back.

Dave: Why’s that, Henry?

Henry: There’s a third one back there that I didn’t tell you about…

Dave: Henry! Both of our robots are already…full…Why the Hell would you snag a third kid?!

Henry: This is the last one for now, William. I promise. Just follow me, will you? I need a hand.

Dave: Henry…Why can’t you just do it yourself?

Henry: She keeps struggling.

~~~

so uh. lot to unpack here:

at some point prior to this, Henry had abducted Dee and took her "into the back" (Saferoom, most likely)

Dave expresses confusion about the kids they've been killing, and about why they've been doing this. seems to track pretty well with what i've seen in other parts of the lore. Pre-Mind Fuckery, Dave was, at the very least, hesitant about what they were doing, and was likely either a) manipulated into thinking it was okay, b) pressured into doing it by Henry, or c) both.

this also aligns with Dave telling Dee that he was never okay with her murder and had tried to talk Henry out of doing it.

considering how things are worded here, it sounds like Dave's involvement in this whole thing might've potentially been to hold her down/keep her still/restrain her. Henry keeps reiterating that he "needs a hand" and says that Dee is struggling a lot, and it sounds like he would've been fine killing her by himself if she wasn't struggling as much. he basically only brought Dave in to get some help with keeping her still so that he can kill her easier.

^ this also goes with what Dee said about her "not going down easy the first time, either." that girl fought 'til her dying breath and you can't convince me otherwise. she did Not make it easy for them. Good For Her

so, all in all, Jesus Fucking Christ

so yeah, just thought i'd tell y'all about this. because Wow. i never see people talking about this one, so might as well do it myself.

infinite wealth if sawashiro said "who gives a shit about ebina im going to hawaii with ichi" and then the rest of the game is a family vacation

[iristial]

Ace knows all too well the pain of spending lifetimes longing for someone, how it kept him from resting in peace, so by becoming deified and wiping his friends' memories he not only escapes the cycle, but is trying to prevent similar circumstances from occurring. Which is ironic, maybe hypocritical, because when given the choice Ace never wanted to forget about his mother. He'd rather suffer. Mourn. Bleed for her. It's the same for Keiwa, Neon and Michinaga. If living with their mistakes and heartbreak means they can remember the man who signified that whirlwind of change and pretends he doesn't care when he truly does, they would grit their teeth for him. Yet Ace wants them to seek better purposes in life, enjoy what people take for granted. He wants them to be happy without burden. And that in turn makes him happier than any DGP can

[bespectacledbun]

—There was a concept he learned about, years ago, when he was but a boy under the tutelage of various scholars (prior to their replacement by Sariel). An old empire, one scholar had told him– a wizened old man who seemed more a part of his beloved history books than of the living– older than Rhodolite, or Obsidian, or even Benitoite. The people had a peculiar way of dealing with tyrants and despots they deemed unfit for the governing of the country. They would carve out the names of the damned from the annals of history, chip away at statues until they remained faceless, and destroy every record until there was nothing that could prove they had ever existed. A total condemnation of memory, he had said, stroking a contemplative hand over his whiskery beard, one that served to wipe every trace of their person from the people’s hearts and minds.

He didn’t need to ask what it felt like, because he already knew. Slowly but surely, over days, months, and years, his posture was fixed, his manner of speech grew refined, and every sinew and muscle in his body was tenderized over and over and over to make his body no longer recognizable to himself. Until he could walk like a royal, could talk like a royal, could effectively fool kin and community into believing he was their beloved prince. Until the yoke of authority felt as familiar on his shoulders as the chains of oppression, until his duties were as natural to him as sleeping and breathing.

Until every last fragment of his being was forgotten and replaced, leaving nothing behind but “Leon Dompteur”.

hi! i honestly felt the same way with anon too and after knowing that you’re actually writing an alt scene/ending i think it would just make more sense if you made your readers felt like that so no biggie!

it was a great story i love how down bad reader is for jake and jake being freaky in bed 🙂‍↕️but yeah everything is perfect and more perfect with the way how it ended with jake and y/n 😍

ahhh thank you for the explanation, i am just apparently.. protective over utt hyung line lol

but i suppose you're right! the alt endings are basically where y/n doesn't accept jake's apology and she goes to either hee jay or hoon for help/comfort/whatever else and they fuck her brains out 😵‍💫 (they each get an alt ending bc i rly enjoyed how i wrote each of them)

but yeah. ehehe thank you for loving jakeyn, she's so down bad for him it's crazy. and i also love how freaky in bed i made him, it was gonna be more but ik their relationship was very new so i had to reel it in lol. thank you anon 🥺❤️
