Danny becomes ghost king and that comes with quite a few perks. 

A huge power boost from the crown and ring, he’s pretty much the most dangerous ghost in the zone.

The keep and all that exists on that floating island is his and it is a massive castle/fortress that magically provides everything a king could want inside without need of upkeep.

The power to transform himself into a gigantic, terrifying Eldritch abomination to enforce his will upon others.

Many ghosts now treat him with respect, bow before him and do as he commands

BUT the vast majority of ghosts DON’T.

You see the zone has been without a ruler for so long. Most denizens don’t want a new one. Danny may technically be their king.  He can technically force all the ghosts to do as he says with pure might on his side.  But on a good day roughly 85% of all ghosts throughout the zone have decided “Screw that, I didn’t vote for him.”

It’s essentially that whole scene in ‘Monty Python and the Holly Grail’. “Beating up the previous monarch and stealing his hat and jewelry is no basis for a proper government.”

Danny’s already busy with his human life and protecting Amity park from ghosts who are still going about attacking the town like nothing’s changed.  Does he REALLY want to deal with the hassle of collecting taxes from those who already hate him enough, or making and enforcing laws when he’s in no way trained to be a ruler? Hell no, he’ll take all the perks and if there’s ever an emergency, he’ll force his will to be done, but beyond that, he’s an all powerful king who’s basically treated as just another ghost in the zone by most.

Now that that’s all set up, lets get into my pitch for a crossover.  Someone from another franchise ends up teleported to the ghost zone and Danny needs to get them home escorting them through the infinite realms running into all sorts of ghost along the way.

“I thought you said you were the king here?”

Danny: “Sigh, it’s complicated.”

Johnny: “He is. He’s just also the king of little bitches.”

This was inspired by the prompt - Kissing in a pillow fort

The sky was a brilliant shade of blue, speckled with fluffy, white clouds as Lexa made her way to Clarke's house. It was a Saturday afternoon, the kind that whispered promises of endless possibilities and adventures. Lexa’s footsteps were light, her heart filled with the familiar thrill of spending the day with her best friend.

As she approached the Griffin residence, the sound of laughter and music spilled out from an open window, guiding Lexa like a beacon. She rang the doorbell, a smile already blooming on her face.

Clarke opened the door, her bright blue eyes shining with excitement. "Lexa! You're here!" she exclaimed, stepping aside to let her in.

The Griffin house always felt like a second home to Lexa. There was a warmth to it, a lived-in feeling that made her feel instantly comfortable. She followed Clarke through the hallway, their conversation a lively stream of updates and shared jokes.

They reached Clarke's room, where a magnificent pillow fort awaited. It was a sprawling construction of blankets, pillows, and fairy lights, creating a cozy haven. Clarke's artistic touch was evident in the hand-drawn banners and colorful cushions that adorned their fortress.

"Welcome to our Saturday headquarters!" Clarke declared, her eyes sparkling with mischief and excitement.

Lexa laughed, her heart light. "It's amazing, Clarke. You've outdone yourself!"

They crawled into the fort, the outside world melting away as they entered their own little universe. Inside, the fort was even more magical. The fairy lights cast a soft glow, creating a world that felt removed from reality, a place where only they existed.

Clarke and Lexa sat cross-legged in the pillow fort, surrounded by a sea of soft blankets and the gentle glow of fairy lights. The air was filled with the sweet scent of popcorn and the quiet hum of their shared laughter. Clarke, with a half-eaten popcorn in hand, suddenly turned to Lexa, her expression a mix of amusement and curiosity.

"Did you hear about Miss Diyoza in class yesterday? She got super mad because some kids were passing notes," Clarke said, her voice tinged with a hint of teenage drama.

Lexa’s eyes widened, her interest piqued. "Really? I missed that! She's usually so chill. What happened?"

Clarke leaned in closer, as if sharing a secret. "It was during the history lecture. And then, out of nowhere, she just stopped talking and stared at Monty and Harper passing this crumpled paper."

"No way!" Lexa exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with the thrill of classroom gossip.

"Yeah! And she said, 'If you have something to share, please feel free to enlighten the whole class.'" Clarke mimicked Miss Diyoza's stern tone, causing both girls to giggle.

Lexa shook her head, smiling. "That's so like her. Did she read the note in front of the class?"

Clarke nodded, giggling. "Yeah, she did. Monty asks Harper to be his girlfriend"

Lexa laughed. "That’s embarrassing."

Clarke reached for another handful of popcorn, her eyes dancing with a mischievous glint.

"Did you hear about Bellamy and Echo?" she asked, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.

Lexa's eyes lit up with interest, a smile playing on her lips. "No, what happened?"

"They're apparently dating now," Clarke revealed, her words laced with the excitement of a juicy secret.

Lexa gasped theatrically. "Really? Since when? They barely even talk in class!"

Clarke shrugged, enjoying the shared gossip. "I heard it from Raven. She said they've been hanging out a lot after school lately. It's so weird, right?"

"Yeah, totally unexpected," Lexa agreed, her tone full of wonder. "School's been full of surprises lately."

The conversation spiraled into a lively exchange of school gossip. They talked about who liked whom, which teachers were rumored to be the strictest, and the latest drama from the school play auditions. Each revelation was met with gasps, giggles, and wide-eyed expressions.

Clarke, with a sly grin, leaned closer. "And guess what else? I heard that Mr. Pike caught Jasper and Maya passing notes in English class. But instead of getting mad, he read the note out loud, and it was a really bad poem Jasper wrote for Maya!"

Lexa burst into laughter, covering her mouth with her hand. "No way!"

After their laughter had subsided from the latest round of school gossip, Clarke glanced at the small laptop they had set up in the corner of their pillow fort. An idea sparked in her eyes, and she turned to Lexa with an excited grin.

"Hey, do you want to watch a movie?" Clarke asked, her eyes shining with anticipation.

Lexa's face lit up at the suggestion. "Yeah, that sounds awesome! What should we watch?"

Clarke bit her lip in thought, scanning through the list of movies they had been wanting to see. "How about a rom-com? Something light and fun?"

"Perfect choice!" Lexa agreed enthusiastically. "Rom-coms are the best for nights like these."

Clarke navigated through the streaming service, her finger hovering over the titles. Finally, her eyes landed on a movie they had both been talking about seeing. It was a new romantic comedy that everyone at school seemed to be talking about.

"What about this one?" Clarke pointed to the screen, displaying the movie's poster, which featured a colorful and whimsical design. "I've heard it's really funny."

Lexa peered at the screen and nodded, her smile widening. "Yes, let's watch that! I've been wanting to see it ever since Anya mentioned it."

Excited, Clarke clicked on the movie, and the opening credits began to roll. They adjusted their positions in the fort, making sure both of them could see the screen comfortably. Clarke grabbed a couple of extra pillows for them to lean on and pulled the bowl of popcorn closer.

As the movie started, the fort was filled with the sounds of laughter and dialogue from the screen. Clarke and Lexa were soon absorbed in the story, commenting on the characters and laughing at the funny scenes. The outside world seemed to fade away as they delved into the world of the movie, enjoying the comfort of each other's company and the shared joy of a good film.

When the movie reached its climax and the two lead characters shared a tender, triumphant kiss, Clarke turned to Lexa, a curious glimmer in her eyes.

"Lexa, have you ever kissed anyone?" Clarke asked, a playful tone in her voice.

Lexa, taken aback by the sudden question, shook her head with a shy smile. "No, I haven't. What about you?"

"Me neither," Clarke replied, a bit of a giggle escaping her. She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Do you think it's like how they show in movies?"

Lexa pondered for a moment, her gaze turning back to the frozen image of the kissing couple on the laptop screen. "I don't know. It looks… nice, I guess? But probably not exactly like that in real life."

The idea seemed to hang in the air between them, a bubble of curiosity in their cozy world of pillows and blankets.

"Maybe we could… you know, try it? Just a peck, to see what it's like," Clarke suggested, the words tumbling out in a rush, her cheeks flushing with a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Lexa's eyes widened slightly, but then she nodded, a mutual understanding of friendship and trust between them. "Okay, just a peck. Like a practice."

They both leaned in awkwardly, their eyes closing as they shared a quick, innocent kiss, more a brush of lips than anything else. As they pulled away, Clarke burst into giggles, the sound light and carefree.

"That was… weird," Clarke said, still laughing.

Lexa laughed too, though her mind was a whirlwind of new feelings and thoughts. It was a simple, innocent moment, but it sparked a realization within her, an awakening of sorts to new possibilities she hadn't considered before.

The movie resumed playing, but Lexa's thoughts were elsewhere, gently exploring the new emotions that the innocent peck had stirred. It was a moment of self-discovery, subtle yet significant, a first step in understanding herself better.

Clarke, oblivious to Lexa's internal revelations, chatted away, filling the fort with her cheerful voice. The night continued with more laughter, movie scenes, and shared snacks, a testament to the simplicity and beauty of their friendship.

As the movie credits rolled and the fairy lights in the pillow fort seemed to glow a bit softer, Clarke and Lexa lay side by side, a comfortable silence enveloping them. The laughter and conversations of the evening had woven a new layer into the tapestry of their friendship, each moment a thread of shared experiences and understanding.

Clarke turned her head to look at Lexa, her eyes reflecting the dim light. "Tonight was fun, Lexa. We should do this more often."

Lexa smiled, her thoughts still lingering on the revelations of the evening, but her heart full of warmth for the friendship she shared with Clarke. "Yeah, it was perfect. Best Saturday ever."

They began to tidy up the fort, folding blankets and gathering up the remnants of their snacks. As they worked, their chatter was light and easy, punctuated with laughter and plans for their next adventure.

Finally, with the fort returned to its former state of just being Clarke's room, Lexa gathered her things to leave. At the door, she turned to Clarke, a genuine smile on her face. "Thanks for today, Clarke. It really meant a lot."

Clarke hugged Lexa, the bond between them stronger than ever. "Anytime, Lexa. You're always welcome here. See you on Monday?"

"See you on Monday," Lexa agreed, stepping out into the cool night air, her heart light with the joys of youth and the comfort of a friendship that was more like family.

As Lexa walked home under the gentle glow of the starlit sky, her thoughts kept drifting back to the day's playful dare and the quick, innocent kiss she shared with Clarke. She could still feel her heart fluttering a bit, a mixture of surprise and excitement at the new experience.

The kiss was brief, a mere peck, but it left Lexa with a whirl of feelings she hadn't expected. She wondered what it meant, feeling a buzz of curiosity about the new emotions stirring inside her.

Skipping a little as she walked, Lexa felt a warm glow inside her. Today wasn't just any other day—it was a day where something new and exciting happened, a day she would definitely remember.

After Lexa left, Clarke lay in her bed, her room feeling a bit more special after their fun day. She couldn't stop thinking about the movie, the jokes they shared, and especially the quick, silly kiss they had dared to try. It was just a peck, really, but it made her heart beat a bit faster, and she found herself smiling at the memory.

Clarke hugged her pillow, feeling a mix of excitement and wonder. It was just for practice, she reminded herself, but it was also kind of cool and something totally new. She was happy it was with Lexa, her best friend who made everything fun and less scary.

As she closed her eyes, Clarke felt thankful for having Lexa in her life. They could share jokes, watch movies, build pillow forts, and even do goofy things like practice kisses, and it all just felt right. She drifted off to sleep with a smile, thinking about their next hangout and all the other fun firsts they might share together.

As the night wrapped the world in its quiet embrace, both Lexa and Clarke lay in their respective beds, miles apart yet connected by the memories of the day.

For Lexa, the stars outside whispered of new beginnings and self-discovery, each twinkle a reminder of the day's innocent revelation.

For Clarke, the familiar walls of her room held the echoes of laughter and shared secrets, a testament to the strength and beauty of their friendship.

In their own ways, they both cherished the simplicity and joy of their bond, a friendship that was evolving and deepening with each shared adventure.

As they drifted into dreams, their thoughts intertwined with the promise of more days filled with laughter, understanding, and the magic of growing up together.

Security Breach

They're mostly finished levels of the monty golf mini game that were likely cut due to security breach being rushed

Unused animations for the Moon character roaming in non-preset locations. Parts of the map organically connecting to each other in underground tunnels (which in-game dialogue still hints towards). An entire version of the bowling alley where you could actually bowl. Dozens of lines of dialogue. Extras menu. Survival mode. The second half of the mini golf minigame. Chica's Feeding Frenzy arcade game. Go kart boss battle. Vanessa being a good guy and maybe even playable. For Pete's sake, BOTH of the main villains of the game were meant to have actual screentime. I just skipped a BUNCH of stuff, but I think you get the gist.

coconut

There was a meme going around of "the coconut that if you delete it destroys TF2" but actually it's just a replacement for coffee beans in a taunt that was never released.

Okay ok ok SO. the TF2 coconut jpeg has such an interesting history. coconut.vtf, or coconut jpg file, is an unused image of a coconut found under a texture file in the game. you have to actually convert the file type to view it, but sure enough it's literally just a jpg of a coconut. here's where things get interesting. someone found the file after it was added in a 2014 update and posted it on reddit. From that post, someone made a joke comment saying "I have no fucking idea who put this here, but when I deleted it the game wouldn’t start. Words cannot describe my fucking confusion", which was then missatributed to be an actual comment from a developer at valve. This snowballed into many people actually believing to this day that this coconut file crashes tf2 if deleted. The coconut does not actually hold the game together, and of the 4 files you need to run tf2 it is not one of them. you can delete it at anytime with no issue. in reality it was an effect for an unused taunt that never got implemented into the game. but it's history of misinformation is so interesting to me. btw one of the file you ACTUALLY need to run tf2 is the 2fort cow, which isn't cut content I just think that's fun.

Worlds for a Hypothetical Mario Game

B’Rambling Fields

Grasslands + slight forest theme— Your standard world 1 grasslands, but with just a bit more of an edge. In the latter half of the world, thorn hazards start cropping up. This is foreshadowed by an abundance of roses and thistles in the first half.

Boss: Larry. When you defeat him, you cut through a final wall of thorns and move on to…

Sunset Shore

Beach/water theme— The sun is setting on this beach, giving everything a nice rosy (Wendy-like) color. The first half is a mixture of beach and underwater levels, and then in the second half you reach the place where the tide comes in and it’s all underwater from then on.

Boss: Wendy. When you defeat her, you swim onward and finally make it to the other side of this body of water, coming ashore in…

Beast Land

Forest/swamp + cave/mountain theme— A forest filled with dank caves, giant trees and craggy rock outcroppings. All the enemies here are animalistic; no Koopa Troopas, Lakitus, Shy Guys, or anything else that seems to have too much going on behind the eyes. It’s all Chain Chomps, Swoops, Spinies, Buzzy Beetles, Wigglers, etc. (Monty Moles are on thin ice.)

Boss: Iggy. You fight him at the base of a mountain on Beast Land’s edge, and continue up it to…

Quake Mountain

Desert + cave/mountain theme— The gimmick here is that you get no fire flowers or other “weaponizable” power-ups, and most of the enemies aren’t damaged by jumping (Thwomps, Bullys, that sort of thing), so you have to just evade them. In some instances, you must lead them off ledges, onto switches and scales, or into pits to be used as a platform. Shortcuts can be found in the secret cave system.

Boss: Morton. After defeating him, you climb higher and the air starts getting colder, until you find yourself in…

Sorbet Hill

Ice theme— A higher part of the mountain. Very whimsical, the snow is all multicolored and flavorful. There’s probably gimmick levels based around sledding, ice skating and snowball fights.

Boss: Lemmy. Fought at the mountain’s very peak. After defeating him, you stand there for a moment before suddenly being swept up by the…

Hurricanebow

Sky theme— Super stormy and gale-force, but with rainbow colors whipped up in some of the tornadoes and stuff. A lot of very fast paced and/or unforgiving levels.

Boss: Roy. When you defeat him, the storm dissipates, and out of the clouds comes…

Koop Deck City

Airship/technology theme— A giant, industrial-looking flying city built on a network of interconnected airships. Contains some maze-y and puzzle-y levels, as well as a lot of pipe and conveyor belt travel, some “riding” levels (a la DK mine-carts or NSMB spine coasters) and various Mechakoopas, Bob-Ombs and Bullet Bills.

Boss: Ludwig. After defeating him, you jump off the ship and plummet down into…

Smokeshadow Valley

Ghost/darkness + lava/fire theme— Smoke covers the sky, casting what isn’t on fire into darkness. Some smoggy, low-visibility levels, a few encounters with Boos and Bones, as well as fortresses, lava pits… everything you’d expect from the final world.

Boss: Bowser. When you defeat him, the smog clears from the sky and you go save/retrieve/thwart whatever needs saving/retrieving/thwarting. Thanks for playing!

Day 21 - 30 April Boadilla to Villalcazar de Sirga 22.3km and 46m

As can be seen we were definitely in flatland.

The hotel last night was abit chaotic. Eduardo’s father owns it and Eduardo seems to do everything. When we got there to check in yesterday he had everyone’s name on a list on scraps of paper (well…brown paper bags actually). He seemed to be checking in/accepting laundry/sometimes managing the bar and six other things as well. The queues to check in were unbelievable and no one else appeared to be able to do it. Carrie asked him if he ever rests and he replied ‘November’! He did say to me that to him he was doing service which I think meant a service to the community.

Looks like the post didn’t save - will try again tomorrow!

Ok next day in bed catching up. The path out of Boadilla runs along the Canal de Castilla. There was a mist over the water and the sun was rising.

It was magical walking as the sun came up. In fact the whole walk was wonderful. There was a 1km diversion due to a new roadway (partially EU funded).

The canal was interesting - 17kms long but we did part of it. At one point we walked along a river way. In Villarmentero de Campos Carrie and I took pity on two starving kittens. Neither of us are cat people but these were absolutely hungry as hell.

Cute Carrie feeding the kittens with every spare biscuit she could dig out of her bag!

The massive nests we see along the way are built by storks. We only realised when we saw about five birds in a huge number of nests atop the church in Boadilla. Also along the way the eucalyptus trees have been pollarded and we’ve been seeing them since we started but this day I noticed they had been pruned to make circles out of their branches. Very unusual but I think Monty Don would approve!

We got to Villacazar de Sirga just before 1pm. Every time we check in I hold my breath especially as I know there are stories of double bookings etc. We straight away had something to eat. Carrie had frittata and I had chorizo sausage and bread. Filling and delicious. And the best coffee of the trip.

This is the church of Santa Maria La blanca. It is a famous Knights Templar church and it is a monumental fortress of a church. Absolutely huge, dating back to the mid 13th century. The stone pillars running the length and breadth are colossal.

Our room is freezing, no heating but it will be 1 or 2deg tonight. In fact we didn’t draw back the curtain until much much later due to the cold and discovered our view from the bedroom window looking straight out at the church!

I had my first brandy of the trip. It was a massive measure - 6€.
