Idea for for a low stakes Danny phantom fic:
A ton of ghosts start setting up a music festival in Amity park. The only reason Danny goes with it is cuz Sam is hyped to finally get to see one of her favorite punk bands live (or undead?...cuz they're ghosts).
The band selection is all over the place, with any ghost willing to join able to showcase the musical styles of their respective eras.
I think it'd be a fun way to remember and explore the fact that a majority of the folks in the ghost zone were, ya know, actual people.
Possible band ideas:
Of course, the aforementioned deceased punk band
A barbershop quartet
A classical composer of your choosing
Those guys who played drums during battles
At least one throat singer
A dusty cowboy with a sad sad song.
And yes, Amber gets to play. But she's gotta pinkie swear not to pull any shit.

I'm going to cry over these two now (and rewatch the show for the millionth time once more)
To everyone who is working on or has been working on this series in anyway, thank you so so much. You're amazing thank you.

When Minkowski hugs Eiffel in Ep31 Sécurité, she just grabs hold of him without making a sound, and the listener only knows about the hug because of the "oof" noise Eiffel makes in reacting to having "the wind knocked straight out of him", and the script directions say that Minkowski has "tears silently streaming down her face", and Eiffel is the one who directly acknowledges the hug verbally ("Don't apologise for hugging"). If all we had was Minkowski's side of the interaction, we probably wouldn't know that they hugged.
When Eiffel hugs Minkowski in Ep54 The Watchtower, he first tells her "C'mere, give us a hug!", and he makes a happy sound of effort as he squeezes her, and Minkowski - under the influence of Pryce's restraining bolt - doesn't seem to have any reaction at all, which Eiffel doesn't appear to notice. Once again, if all we had was Minkowski's side of the interaction, we wouldn't know that they hugged.
The question of 'in what ways is the hug made audible?' feels much more significant in audio than it would in any another medium, and I do think it reflects something about these characters and their willingness to be open with their affection. Minkowski "grabs him and hugs him" hard enough to knock the wind out of him, but she does so silently. In a somewhat similar but also very different moment of reunion, Eiffel "embraces her" and he's not quiet as he does it. There's something about how Communications Officer Eiffel is always the one who verbalises their physical affection, whether or not he's the one who initiated the hug. The closest Minkowski gets to verbally acknowledging a hug is through an apology; Eiffel is the one who makes the hugs real for the listener.

horrific alternate version of my narry variation who looks similar but is that creepy kind of nice. like super calm, serene, calls people "my dear" but not romantically. is suave-ish but something about it feels intrinsically off. not bc it's an ego thing he revels in—that's og narry exclusive—but bc genuinely nothing ever phases that guy. it is not rooted in insecurity or false bravado, he is in control. the version that the narrator wants to be, what he wants other people to think he is, not knowing that the other guy lacks the very part of him that makes him distinct and alive. and y'know. generally likable despite his grumpiness. absent of the complex but still afflicted and afflicting the horrors.
... scary. *hits with narry's new cane* give back my normal old man.

I know this is tantamount to saying “I love it when chefs cook good” but goddamn I love it when authors tell a story with SKILL

this close to writing myself into the argument that AFK farms constitute virtual reality in the sense that your non-game actions and time are now mediated by the game world. like, unironically.

When composing Legato dialogue as a means of amusing myself in the midst of traffic, it turns out that whether said dialogue leaves my mouth in a transatlantic accent or a southern accent apparently depends entirely upon his exact location between the poles of Hinged (former) and Unhinged (latter) in whatever situational backdrop I've chosen to puppet him against at that particular moment.
