Pest Control

So if you've been looking at my posts lately you'll realize I've been fixating on Queen Danny. And I'm going to keep doing that. But let me grind up some new concepts to throw in.

You think that bugs can become ghosts? Other than singular ones like in Doctor's Disorders? Not really. They're not as obsessed or driven enough to be fully formed, and areas where they become even blobs via excess ecto would probably have a bunch of blob eaters or something balancing it out. So the singular ones in that episode would be much more rare in comparison.

And ghosts who control bugs don't count. We're talking about bugs being the ghosts.

But what about those mass insect killings? Pest control, or when a full apartment building lights on fire and there's enough ectoplasm around? You get a Hive.

Hives always prefer to work together, since even at their creation they are made up thousands or even millions of the creepy crawlies. They either form a body from tiny bodies or chose a majority that can represent it properly. So they can just meld and split without concern.

And in the bug and insect world, more often than not, the Queen is at the top. Pariah didn't count, he didn't even like the Hives. On the other limb, High Queen Phantom had created a clutch of her own.

Once she came into power, the Hives wish to fulfill her desires, as insect kingdom instincts demand and through newfound loyalty. They do so, to the detriment of everyone else.

Turns out I'm not quite done with DPxDC HIVE Academy

So like.

I'm legit wondering what kind of university would even have a course on afterlife or ghosts to study scientifically when what we got be myths and theories and all that stuff. (How tf do one even vivisect ghost, study their behavior when there's not even a body(?) and so on- not to mention that not everyone has the belief that Ghost Are Evil and all that-) But then a tot came to me: an extension of HIVE. Or maybe a Proto-HIVE. HIVE Uni though, definitely.

The (not so secretly) villain school WOULD DEFINITELY give this dubious three mad scientist kids some funds to go crazy. Also reason why none of the government call of them driving atrociously went through. Or CPS. Or lab safety and so on and so forth.

They're all protected by this nifty thing called HIVE graduates! :D

okay but what if there is a subplot of S3 where nate develops some type of weird obsession/hyperfixation with lexi? i feel like that could be really interesting to dive into.

UTHDTH UPDATE

"Everyone knew about what went down between Maddy and Travis... it had been a huge scandal in The Organization, because it had been one of The Organizations first divorces..."

(Excerpt from Up To Heaven and Down To Hell, Chapter 3: Ballroom Blitz)

✨️ She's coming soon... ✨️

In the meantime catch up on the remainder of Up To Heaven and Down To Hell before the last chapter drops soon.

(Don't worry, the Gia and Ashtray spinoff is in the works along with the continuation/sequel of Up To Heaven and Down To Hell... meaning that more Fexi is coming.)

“Love you tooooo, Sweebz!~”

—And she’s intent on proving it! …Not that the amount of relationship weight gained doesn’t prove it on its own, but that’s besides the point.

Especially the fact that the both of them have gained a bit, even Sweetpea with a cute little potbelly bump, shows that they're in it together for each other. Weird how they're both getting big on veggies, but neither of them want to address it either. Just enjoying themselves~!

[maddys-mad-menagerie]

Let’s get a classic question out of the way, hm? What do the girls get up to while no one else is around?

Do they celebrate Thanksgiving, themselves?

A wonderful question! Oh, and from Bee! Our favorite Maddy-ite~!

Let’s see here...? Usually, they just get up to shenanigans and silliness while we’re all at home? The cameras are a live feed, so tune in sometime on the website~!

They definitely did this year! Maddy was basted and glazed, Berri was loaded up with cranberri sauce, Red was busy carving and serving the food and Sweetpea pretended to be a ham. To ham it up. Soy ham. It was quite the mess we had to clean up, honestly.

A Funny Take on Villain Danny

You'v probably seen this. The Fentons react poorly to finding out Danny is Phantom and treat him like he's evil. Now here's the humorous take

The Fenton parents catch Danny transforming. And immediately take him home and tell him to pack his bags

Danny is dejected seeing his parents have rejected him. The next day

Jack: Danny, the bus is here!

Danny: Wait, what? I thought I wouldn't go to school after you kicked me out

Maddie: Why would you think that?

Danny: You guys told me to pack my bags

Jack: Because we're sending you off to boarding school! That way, you can cause as much collateral damage with your powers as you want

Danny: But why send me off? Dad's driving causes collateral damage too!

Maddie: We wouldn't mind if you crashed a truck through your school for a ghost fight. It's the superpowers part that we hate

Danny: ...Where am I going?

Maddie: The only boarding school that caters to superpowered teens. And they have a great science program. HIVE Academy!

A Broken Sort of Normal (Start)

WC: 588 CW: (updating as the fic continues), Gen but ships may be added Danny Fenton/Wally West pre-relationship, Canon-Typical Violence, Blood, Major Injury, Minor Character Death

They were going to lose.

It's a simple, unavoidable fact and it hits Danny like one of Superman’s punches. He fumbles in his attempt to triage Barry’s leg before the limb was lost.

The man standing in the middle of the ruins of Metropolis would win. He and his army of hive mind clones would sweep across the rest of the planet. Humanity would fall.

They were going to lose.

He finishes tying off the field tourniquet, not sure how he manages, not with his hand slick with Barry’s blood. Something of his thoughts must be showing on his face because Barry reaches out and grips a weak hand around Danny’s wrist.

“Kid?”

It was still a stupid nickname. Danny hadn’t been a kid since before joined up with the Justice League as a field medic four years ago. But Danny was the same age as Wally and many of the other Teen Titans— all long grown out of that name— and so he got lumped in as ‘kid’ to the more senior heroes.

And now all these wonderful, heroic, brave people that Danny had come to be friends with were going to die. The monologue happening in the middle of the street made that much clear. No hero would be left alive; any chance of a future uprising would be snuffed out this very day.

Because they were going to lose.

Danny smiles softly at Barry and pries his hand away.

“Kid, whatever you’re thinking—” Barry could have no idea what Danny was thinking. No one could.

No one could, because no one knew what Danny could do.

Danny had played to the curse perfectly for seven years. A curse set on him in a stupid moment of one last teenage angst fueled vent. He had just wanted to be normal.

Sam and Tucker were going off to college. Danny wasn’t, not with his grades. Jazz was practically waiting for her girlfriend to propose. Danny couldn’t imagine even dating with his secrets. Jack and Maddie had a new contract with the GIW. Danny had stopped trying to reason with them.

Everyone else was moving on with their lives while Danny was stuck half dead. A freak of nature. A man out of life yet still living. A walking corpse.

He just wished he was normal.

He’d forgotten that he shouldn’t wish.

A wish is only a curse waiting to happen.

Well, he got it— his wish that was a curse. As long as Danny never used his powers in any noticeable way he would just be seen as a regular kid to the rest of the world— just plain, normal Danny Fenton. If he got caught using them even once— if he got caught being not normal, his powers would be gone, taken by the curse. Without his powers keeping his core humming happily along and sustaining his half dead body, Danny would be gone.

Danny had forgotten he shouldn’t wish.

But he did.

And suddenly, just like that, to everyone else, Danny was normal— no ghost attacks to fight, no GIW hunting him, no Team Phantom.

Sam and Tucker drifted quickly away without the team to bond them. Jazz checked in less and less— no need to worry about her little brother being shot. Jack and Maddie… well, they stopped having a reason to talk with him too. They had to prove the existence of ghosts! There was no time for… well, someone as normal as Danny.

Normal turned out not to be so great.

-----

AN: I got sent the the field medic prompt going around, for some reason? (there was no comment sent with it). It's a cute idea with some fun responses, but not really my jam to write. I'm not much into exploring ageless immortal, dimension hopping Danny in my own work. I have more of a weakness for exploring what makes Danny still human. And, as @mokulule pointed out: "I see you mentioning no angst XD".

(Have you all caught on yet that I like my angst?)

So of course I had to ask if I were to write field medic Danny, how would I get him there? And how would I hurt him once he was there? So I threw out all of the prompt and I bounced it around with Moku, her prodding me along with great questions and thoughts, and now here we are.

Because apparently my brain didn't want to warm up on one of my current ideas. This will be a one shot so help me-

(BTW: While in the very vaguest sense this started with a prompt, the above writing is not a prompt. This will be finished, it's 99% planned out already, just needs the writing.)

Hi, I want to say I really appreciate deadbeat and want to thank you for giving me brain worms about dadkuzu and “the dad who stepped up” hidan. I am curious though, what drove kakuzu to seek his child out? I’m assuming he was not aware of their existence until ami (I’m assuming it’s ami) wrote to him, but I’m curious to understand his logic.

Hey anon! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hidan is the most emotionally intelligent person in that trio and it's a bit of a worry because he's a 17–18 year old boy at the time.

Kakuzu definitely knew about Maddie! Ami was passing information across borders, and some of that would have included the odd update on Maddie for Kakuzu. They weren't very emotionally entangled, but Kakuzu and Ami had a pretty open and honest — if not especially warm — relationship with each other. They're just distant coworkers who made a baby, I guess. There's not much of a secret or anything there.

So Kakuzu's actually just being totally honest when he tells Maddie that he's just checking on her. Ami sends him a message like, 'Yeah, so, I'm like, sick-sick. I'm going to die.'

The reason Kakuzu only shows up almost a full year after that is that... it just takes a solid ten months for him to stop avoiding the problem. I considered how long (and indeed if) to leave Maddie in the cursed swamp on her own, and she really didn't have to be there for nearly a full year. But she was. Because Kakuzu got Ami's note and then let it burn a hole in his pocket for almost a year while he grumpily avoided thinking about it and stomped around.

Interpersonal obligations give him hives. However, he still takes them really seriously.

Let me elaborate on that! While writing, I decided that in the highly limited canon we get on Kakuzu, the text indicates his character exhibits a fairly developed and surprisingly pro-social sense of interpersonal obligation. I draw this conclusion from 3 main examples:

1. The betrayal of his home village hit extremely hard and devastated his entire personality, and, because he WAS very loyal, he took his obligations to them very seriously. He obviously expected them to reciprocate. They didn't.

2. He takes care of Hidan despite emotional incentives to do otherwise, including picking up his stuff and bringing it along with them when he's debilitated by a mortal injury

3. By implication, at least, he takes care of akatsuki members who aren't even his own partner? Nobody is forcing him to sew Deidara back together, I think.

So those examples informed my choice to consider it relatively likely that he would actually go and make sure his child is still breathing. I'm sorry it's not more exciting than that though, haha.

I bet Hidan responded in a totally mature, respectful and understated way when Kakuzu told him what they were doing in northern Fire Country though.
