what do you think dros was thinking when he first saw the phasmid? was he experiencing wonder; serenity? did he feel the world was still playing sick tricks on him: did he believe he was going insane from isolation and this was one of the symptoms? was it helplessness - that even though this miracle of nature stood before him, his beliefs prevented him from telling anyone about it? did the phasmid stand over iosef, watching him watch martinaise through his scope? did he feel her eyes on him for hours, until he forgot the eyes and the pheromones burnt a hole in his brain where she used to be? is he in a kind of grief over her absence in his head? is it a coincidence that the character who is most unable to move on from his past is on an island where the only other living being tells the player to turn from the ruin and move forward? that the most self-appraisingly noble and hopeless of causes has looked at the future for too long, and it is destroying him...

hand on my stupid heart flashbacks

this is a No One Knows AU & Full Hazmat AU where Danny ended up in the Ghost Zone & didn't go back into the human world initially because he thought he was dead. by the time he realized he is, in fact, at least half alive, he'd already been missing for at least 2 weeks. will probs never finish homsh sorry. i wrote this a couple years ago in a haze & just haven't been able to finish it because i can't replicate the style, which i find is what i love about this fic the most. it wouldn't be the same without it. posting the flashback introsーwhich are meant to be read between chapters/the actual plot, starting after chapter 1ーcuz fuck it. excuse typos & shit, i never properly edited it, as i forgot it existed immediately after i wrote it original description of homsh: Danny Fenton has officially been missing for over a year. Maddie & Jack Fenton refuse to give up on their son. Sick and tired of the police running them in circles, and the case getting colder by the day, the Fentons turn to their last resortーPhantom. 800~ words (full unfinished fic is 20k~)

-

When Danny woke up surrounded by thick, green fog, and couldn’t breathe without swallowing heavy air that was more like water than anything, he was sure he was dead. The portal glowed behind him, illuminating the pitch darkness around him in soft, yellow, warm light.

He almost went back.

Almost.

He was dead. His parents were ghost hunters. They had drilled into his head from the moment he was born that he could never, ever panic in death. That he would accept it. That he would not be scared. So he would be prepared to be brave in the face of death and would not become a ghost.

He panicked. He did not accept it. He was terrified. And so he woke up in the Ghost Zone.

-

Danny went back through the portal when he saw some ectopuses acting… strange. Like they had an idea in their heads. Like they had a plan.

Which was weird, with animal ghosts. He had only been in the Ghost Zoneーmom and dad called it that, he rememberedーfor a couple weeks. Or, he had already been there for two weeks. Or maybe time worked differently and he was there five minutes, or four years orー

The ectopuses went through the portal and, despite everything, Danny went after them.

While he was busy reeling at being home, the ectopuses immediately attacked dad. Danny was horrified. Jack was overwhelmed. Danny stepped in, in a moment fueled by sheer adrenaline and stupidity, snatching a Fenton Thermos™ off a shelf and releasing his shaky invisibility. The ectopuses didn’t stand a chance. And when they were safely in the Thermos, he slowly turned around to dad, ready for the confrontation. Ready for the “what happened to you?” and the “where have you been?” and the “we’ve missed you”.

Dad scrambled to shoot at him.

Danny fled.

His parents didn’t recognize him.

-

The Lunch Lady attacked when Danny was mourning Halloween.

He’d waited all year. He made a costume that summer. He wouldn’t get to go trick or treating with Sam and Tucker this year. Or any year. For the rest of his lifeーor existence. Whatever.

The Lunch Lady appeared in the school and demanded in straight fury, “Who changed the menu?”

Everyone pointed at Sam.

Danny hadn’t known just how powerful ghosts could be. His parents never told him the specifics. Just that they were dangerous.

This ghost grew and her aura hit him like a hurricane, almost physically pushing him back. It was so strong that the students in the Casper High cafeteria seemed to feel it too.

The Lunch Lady was a much harder opponent than the ectopuses. She levitated meat. She used it as a weapon, and seemed to bring it back to life. She created weird meat creatures that grew sharp teeth and claws out of bones. They were mindless, attacking everything that got too close to the ghost. Danny would have run away without hesitation, if Sam hadn’t been in the crossfire.

Danny fought the Lunch Lady. It was a long struggle, but he caught her in the thermos after over an hour. When he turned to Sam and Tuckerーboth of whom he had to save due to Tucker trying to jump into the fightーall three of them bloody and bruised, he cringed. But a part of him hoped. Desperately.

Surely they would know him on sight.

“Wh-what are you?” Sam gasped at him finally.

Danny flinched as if she had struck him. “J-just… your friendly neighbourhood phantom.”

-

Danny didn’t know what possessed him. Oh. Pun not intended.

He just barely caught the Fentons leaving in the GAV, dragging suitcases behind them. He couldn’t help himself. What on Earth were they doing?

They were going to Vlad Master’s mansion for their college reunion.

It was a whole thing. But something was off. Besides all the adults reminiscing about the 80’s.

Danny sensed ghosts immediately but he couldn’t see anything. Unfortunately for him, Vlad could also sense him. It was two days of Danny staying invisible, and Vladーthe halfa? Is that what Danny is?ーtrying to kill Jack. Somehow, Danny managed to fight off Vlad, not turn back, and without the Fentons getting hurt. His secret intact.

VladーPlasmius, also learned about Phantom. And Vlad hated him. The manーghostーwhatever, seemed to only care about one thingーpossession. Of money. Of things. Of people. He was more ghost than Danny had ever seen. Vlad’s obsession was overwhelming.

Danny couldn’t believe someone so much like himself could be so disturbing.

Dissolving Classroom ("Worshipping Beauty") // Junji Ito

Alright, the second one is more of a scenario than an ask, but like:

I wonder, after a while, after making progress and having proven to y/n that he really is making an honest effort to better himself, when the hurt has had some time to heal, what if one time when he is feeling frustrated, maybe a bad day in which old habits want to resurface with a vengeance, what if he asks y/n how they did it? How in the world did they manage to just decide to be better? To realize they didn't like who they were and changed tracks so easily? Change so much of who they were, not lose themself, and on top of that alone?

(I imagine at least, he doesn't know that they weren't completely alone. Michael was there. They too had someone that was like a brother for them to lean on. The one family member they decided to keep from that horrible past.)

I am chomping at the bit over this and I'm finally ready to give you an answer.

Eclipse comes to them, fists shaking as he clenches his fists until they hear metal scraping, and asks them 'how?' How did they leave behind everything they were, everything they did, and simply become better?

It wasn't simple. The vigilante tells him that, first, it almost killed them in a way they hadn't known they could die. It wasn't with a bullet or a knife or heavy rocks in a river. It was realizing that they were no better than what first set them down this path of survival.

The vigilante has seen Eclipse progressing, has accepted his apology, and sees the hurt in his dark optics. They trust their gut. It's time to tell him something he didn't know about them.

Vanny took them away as a child and the one person who could have stopped the gangster could have saved them, looked the other way. A cop paid off.

The vigilante realized they were just the same as that police officer, just as corrupted and cruel when they handed that child to William Afton. They were no better than the evil that made them into Afton's loyal dog.

If surviving meant this, Y/N didn't want to survive anymore. They didn't want to look in the mirror and see themselves as another reason a child is left to suffer because no one else cared enough to save them. Apathy is no longer an excuse. They must care, or they must die a very real but not physical death, and to save themselves, Y/N acted to stop the hurt despite having spent so long numb and deliberately ignoring the pain outside of them. It was dreadful and it was almost too much to face, but they did it, and they did it by first asking for help.

Eclipse's hands have stopped shaking when the vigilante finishes. They place their palm over his curled fingers and slowly turn his large hand until they can see his palm. They smile and draw a little circle on his shadowy silicon and tell him he's doing just fine. He just has a little further to go. One day, it will be as simple as breathing, as pulsing with electricity, but right now, it's okay. He has his brothers, and he has a rather dashing vigilante, too.
