Atlas is the only son and oldest of two. He may only be 18 months older but he doesn't let her forget it either. He and Ivy had been close growing up until they became teenagers. Atlas isn't into school and getting straight A's. He often feels like the black sheep in a family of overachievers. His sister was always on the honor roll and won multiple scholarships where he barely got into a good school.
He knows he's a disappointment to his parents but he can't imagine becoming a doctor like them. The sight of blood makes him ill but he likes to help people which is why he volunteers to tutor students who need help.
His favorite book is Treasure Island and every sommer when they went to visit his uncles on Isla Paradiso he'd spend hours on the beach searching for treasure.
He has a fascination with the starry skies and would sneak out of the house when everyone else was asleep to stare at the sky.

Hello people who are getting into Danny Phantom through dpxdc!
I am not a dpxdc blog, but I am a gen dp blog. Here's a few things you should know about us:
👻 Most of us do not like Butch Hartman, the executive producer. We typically ignore him now. What you may not know is that while he was the "business guy" and the one who pitched the show, beloved artist and character designer Stephen Silver is actually the one who designed the characters for Danny Phantom (and, presumably, his team). Not only that, but he has also designed characters for many other shows of that era, including Kim Possible.
👻 Yes, we call ourselves the "phandom." We also, jokingly, sometimes put a ph in front of other things, like calling a fic a phic. It's a bit—don't take it too seriously.
👻 Yes, we have a subgenre of our fanfiction dubbed as the "dissection fic." While I may be a bit biased (as I've written a few), I think it's pretty good. You may enjoy it too if you like angst, who knows.
👻 No, you did not miss an episode, we collectively "made" an OC named Wes Weston who had the same character model as Danny but with a different color pallet. We just thought it was funny. You can read about his story here. The tl;dr is that he's the town crazy conspiracy theorist, he's the only one who knows Danny Fenton is Phantom, and he is constantly trying to prove it but nobody believes him. You remember Dib from Invader Zim? He's like Dib.
👻 On the contrary, you remember the finale of the show? That's okay, we don't either. Phantom Planet who? Never heard of her.
👻 But on the topic of adding things to fanon, the show's been off the air for decades. We're still around. Naturally, we've added things and made different AUs overtime. Different creators have different AUs they like, but you don't have to prescribe to any of them if you don't want. If you're confused about anything you see, feel free to pop me or anyone else an ask and we'd be happy to explain!
👻 There's also different bits of lore that were hinted on in canon that we've expanded. Things like ghost cores, half-ghost biology, worldbuilding with the ghost zone, ghosts having obsessions, dynamics at the school, etc. You're free to adopt or ignore whatever you'd like.
👻 The show is no ATLA, and it's a bit dated for its time, but overall it's a fairly fun background show you can throw on while you're cooking. If you've never seen an episode, I highly recommend watching at least a few fan favorites. I made a list here a while back, and I think it still holds up pretty well.
👻 We host a LOT of events. There's a full calendar of them here. You can assume these are crossover-friendly unless the event coordinators state otherwise (like in the case of phic phight). Feel free to join some!
So I've been browsing through BehindTheName (great resource!) recently and have compiled several name lists. Here are some names, A-Z, that I like.
NOTE: If you want to use any of these please verify sources, meanings etc, I just used BehindTheName to browse and find all of these. Under the cut:
It's almost April which means it's almost been two years of me bothering all of you with my silly little fics. Thank you to everyone who has stuck around this long with me, I have a really special place for you all in my heart. Thank you to all my mutals for the love, i'm giving you all kisses and hugs. While things aren't always easy, I'm happy with the space I've built here, I've known nothing but love from all of you. I'm crying now so I'm gonna stop *Insert pic of me ugly crying here*
In an attempt to not stress myself, I'm going to get ahead of myself and release this little event so that I can work on it throughout the rest of March and have things to release slowly throughout the first two weeks of April. If you're taking part in any of the other sections other than the giveaway section simply shoot me an ask with the section and all the details for that section and I'll add you to the queue. Everything will be under the following tag if you'd like to block:

Explanations/Opinions below the cut:
Ok so I have several reading lists/stacks that I rotate through: my to-read spreadsheet (which has almost 300 titles listed in chronological order by date added, with the oldest being from 8/22/2014), my to-read bookcase/nightstand (which holds ~50 books I’ve acquired over the past few years but haven’t yet read), a stack of oversized unreads that don’t fit on the nightstand shelves (this gets its own list bc I need to read them and find a permanent home for them before the stack gets too tall), and “interruptions” (books that override the list order bc I didn’t want to wait to read them, for whatever reason).
Maybe it’s weird that I’m so attached to reading things “in order”? Idk. I’ve always been like this. It’s only a mild compulsion – obviously, I am perfectly capable of ignoring what’s supposed to be next on the list, in favor of reading something that catches my interest more strongly in the moment, but in general, I like to read things either in the order I added them to the list, or the order I personally acquired a physical copy (if I went by the list only, I’d be drowning in unread books [yay, college town thrift stores], so I gotta stay on top of that pile pretty regularly). So that is why I am often reading things that I first became aware of/added to my list nearly 10 years ago. Sometimes this practice results in feelings like, “Dang, I wish I would’ve actually read this 10 years ago,” but also sometimes, “WOW, I’m so glad I’m reading this RIGHT NOW, as opposed to 10 years ago when I first heard about it!”
I think my favorites this year were Mariette in Ecstasy; Other Voices, Other Rooms; Crapalachia; and Speak, Memory.
Mild disappointments were the essay collections by Leslie Jamison and Meghan Daum, two authors I’m pretty sure I discovered via popular and relateable quotes reblogged on tumblr ca. 2014, but the collections taken as a whole just had too many moments of cringe – casual classism, arrogant self-absorption, and other annoying and unrelateable qualities typical of privileged 20-something writers (this tone definitely appealed to me when I was a naïve and melodramatic snotty 20-something, so there’s that).
As a kind of memorial, Rachael and I read David’s three favorite books: The Stars My Destination, Mother Night, and American Gods. In all the time I knew him, including all the times we used to sit on the porch together, reading quietly while he drank whiskey, I never thought to ask him his favorites. I kept looking for pieces of him in the stories, wondering what lines stood out, what made a book memorable, what did it say about him that these were his favorites.
Being an elder Millennial, I’m in the stage of nostalgically re-acquiring important artifacts from my childhood, so that’s why there are some children’s books on my list. Where’s Waldo? was one of the most coveted books in my grade-school library! There was always a list of people waiting to check it out, but usually, whoever actually had the book that week would let the other kids gather around and look together.
My Heart Is a Chainsaw was a recommendation from my goth teenaged birthdaughter <3 which I probably read too much personal symbolism into but maybe not!
I thought John Updike was overrated, lol.
Favorite photography book: W. Eugene Smith’s Dream Street. His pictures made me so homesick, and it was wild because he took them from 1955-1957 but they still really, REALLY, to me, looked like the Pittsburgh of my ‘80s/’90s memories (bc Pittsburgh doesn’t change, and also the “idea” or “brand” of Pittsburgh in the ‘80s/’90s was ofc consciously referencing its industrial working-class past). He took over 10,000 photos but was never able to “finish” the project to his intense, obsessive standards of perfection (I KNOW THAT FEEL) and felt it failed to capture the multifaceted essence of the city. WELL, not in my opinion at least!
mature sounding names or Victorian esk ones some examples I love are : ophelian, domitius, archidamus, bardolph, zaherus, and Atticus preferably masculine or neutral ^^
i think ive done some victorian, elegant, lengthy and/or academia esque themed name lists before, if not here then there might be some on @namesetc !
im seeing quite the affinity for classical greco-roman names based on your examples, so here's some classic names from english, latin, greek and maybe a few other origins that i think fit what youre looking for:
Ivy is a bit of a tomboy. She loves sports and can often be found at the park playing soccer or baskeball. She has plans on following her parents into the medical field specializing in physical therapy. She loves learning how the body works and helping others make the most of what their bodies can do.
She's not interested in settling down yet. She's too young for that even though her parents keep trying to set her up. One person in particular is Basil Rake. She couldn't understand why her parents thought they ought to be friends just because they had been friends with his parents while they were growing up on the island. All she knows about Basil is he's one of those stuck up rich kids who had more money than sense.
Other than sports she likes reading poetry, singing and playing the piano. And camping. She loves going for long hikes with her brother and setting up camp under the stars. No glamping for them. That's not real camping!
I guess this is a confession, um, I am in this tiny minority- if there is one -that isn't too sure the 4th season anime will work out.. I think the recent things I've seen like Atla live action has sewn seeds of doubt, making me get suspicious that they might dare add and/or remove things, amplify unnecessary things, ect. Uhh I think that covers my gripe that I'm too afraid to post myself. Hope you don't mind!!
I get your doubts and tbh the only reasons i'm not really worried is because I don't really have expectations, i'm just here for the ride. I don't see the adaptation go in crazy directions either considering it's just an arc, it's the Weston one (not the most complicated or all over the place). I can see how it could be underwhelming but not how they could literally ruin it. I get it tho! Lets hope we have a nice time!
