you can see that the script originally had ford building an anti-gravity machine for the science fair (which i guess acts as foreshadowing to the portal?), but the sun lightbulb feels like it would've connected to the opening of stanchurian candidate....

DCxDP Prompt #5

For the bit(we’ll be cultists)

When Danny won the title of Ghost King, he wasn’t expecting some of his more ghostly attributes to seep over into his human form.

Or to be unable to control his powers like at all for a month or two after gaining his new title.

He’s still 14-15 though and has to be in Highschool to make sure his grades don’t fall any further. Even if he did just save the town with only his piers in his grade know about him.

It’s no surprise when he accidentally walks through a door after trying to open it only to find himself intangible or to start floating away with no way to control it and need one of his classmates to save him from floating into the stratosphere.

It’s all fine for a while, people help him. Those who used to bully him now lend a hand when he needs it. They aren’t kind about it but they aren’t shoving him into lockers anymore.

But that doesn’t last.

People start to notice the strange things that keep happening as his powers grow and become harder and harder to hide even with help. He had made an entire class take place on the ceiling one day. Another he made half the town float.

The Fenton parents and the GIW start working together to figure it out. It’s only a matter of time if no one does anything

So what is Danny, his friends and his class going to do to hide the real reason of what’s going on?

They pretend to be a cult. Full on cartoonishly cult like. The chanting, the robes, the sneaking out to an old building on the edge of town to have a ritual kind of cult. Playing off Danny’s fluctuating powers as the results of their work.

This gets the opposition to back off a bit. Not their circus not their monkeys. And the rituals release some of Danny’s pent up power.

Danny just had to lay in a circle, surrounded by the faces of friends and classmates while they chant and his powers gets released a little at a time.

It’s a great deal.

Until Danny is found out one day unable to use the cult as an excuse and has to bounce out of town. And the rest of his Casper High Class, ever committed to the bit, follow him since the GIW and the Fentons are laying waste to the town and it’s just not safe.

Where do they go?

To the Crime Capital of the world of course!

Gotham is the perfect place to continue the bit. Their ‘cult’ runs all the way to Gotham, looking out for one another and the such. Not because they care about each other, of course.

They all tell themselves that but there’s only so much chanting in ghost speak and Latin a frenemy relationship can take.

They are tight knit by time they settle in a collection of old buildings on the edge of Gotham. Danny’s powers are starting to settle, but he still has bad days. Those days the cult gathers and ‘performs a ritual’ but really they just have a little get together, sitting in a big room set up with a circle with Danny laying and meditating in the middle and chat in Latin or Ghost speak.

For the bit, they preform a fake ritual. Headed by Sam since she has all the knowledge on what cults do. For the bit, the give offerings to Danny in exchange for him protecting them both back in Amity and in Gotham. For the bit, they make it a monthly thing or as needed.

Sure Danny doesn’t realize he’s given each of his friends and classmates blessing from a literal King of Gods and Beings Beyond Human Comprehension.

It was for the bit.

What wasn’t for the bit was getting caught by the local furries.

Danny hadn’t had a ritual in a month, his powers were building up but he was stressed with work and school.

His cult of friends decided he needed a ritual and pseudo-kidnap him to sacrifice his own power to himself.

Don’t ask them, it just works.

Mid ‘ritual’ Danny is trapped in the circle while they keep his powers contained as it’s released. He could destroy the building if he so much as blinks. They are nearly through with it. Can return to the party after they’re done and he’s ‘normal’ again.

So when the Bat and Co. crash the ritual, right before the end. Danny can’t do anything while his classmates both defend him, each other, and those trying to finish the ritual.

It’s looking bad but the ritual finishes. Danny is freed from the circle and starts helping his friends defend themselves and escape. Of course, he knows what this looks like. And he knows that the Bats and Birds are just trying to keep their own city safe from a perceived threat.

So he apologizes to them while he takes down the Bats and Birds then absconds with his Cult&Co. hoping they would understand. No one was hurt and there was no loss on either side. Alls well ends well?

To the Bats and Birds.

They find a group of robed cultists that established themselves quickly and then they see the cult gather, having a party until another group come in dragging Adoption Bait behind them. They start the ritual. Bats and Co. think kid is getting sacrificed and step in. Only to be nearly fought off and the ritual to complete.

They then have to watch as some entity controls the kids body to fight them off. The kid looks terrified, apologizing while he is forced to fight for the cult.

Then they all get away.

Posting a sneak-peak of this now because I'm about to be In The Shit school workload-wise, so this'll take me a while to finish.

Doing some character design exploration/expression sheets for Celestia and Luna. Figuring out Celestia's weird ass anatomy while I'm at it.

PUPPET HISTORY FANDOM (SPECIFICALLY PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING S7 THROUGH YOUTUBE) LISTEN UP I JUST FOUND SOMETHING

HOLY FUCK AS I'M TYPING THIS I'M THIS CLOSE TO EXPLODING OUT OF SHEER !??!?!??! YOU HAVE NO IDEA OH MY GOD

OKAY SO. Dr. Hoagy Sprat.

Strange name, don't you think? "Hoagy" meaning a type of sandwich with a long roll and "Sprat" meaning a species of herring. BUT let's be real, Shane Madej didn't just pick that name out of nowhere though honestly it's also possible he just did for the funnies.

Well guess what, I plugged that name into an anagram solver, and

IT'S PYTHAGORAS ALL ALONG.

— What could this mean? Theories under the cut! —

The most obvious answer is that Dr. Sprat is a reincarnation of Pythagoras especially considering the episode has a significant focus on reincarnation. This also pushes the idea that he is the ultimate mastermind behind everything even more. For instance, where could Elmer Walter Williams be getting the Phorgedytol supply? Who are the "fine folks" he always mentions? It would make sense if one of the smartest people in darn history is able to create a medicine that degrades your memory. Do you think he could be using the Phorgedytol to slowly take over the world and reassemble his cult?

For some less obvious threads:

Pythagoras sending one of his triangles to Purgatory isn't as nonsensical as you may think. For starters, cult leaders have a long history of killing their followers with the promise of a glorious afterlife which is exactly what Dr. Sprat did. Moreover, this could be a ploy to get the Triangle to indoctrinate the puppets in Purgatory and recruit more members in his cult.

Where did Estranged Producer Shane Madej go after he left the headquarters? His musing of death being at his doorway and warning of ominous forces plaguing the place may indicate he died on his way to the carriage. In that same episode, Pythagoras was alleged to be a murderer of one of his followers. Could Dr. Sprat be behind the murder?

The Professor mentioned that Pythagoras would probably be a coder had he been alive today. Could this imply the Substitute and Dr. Sprat working together, allowing the Substitute to go back and enact his revenge?

*scaramouche internal monologue about gender* I think the human gender binary is so stupid & doesn’t make any sense. I’m literally above all of this human gender stuff bc I exist outside that binary as a puppet and that makes me better than all of you. I have decided to “transition” into being a “man” not because I believe in human gender but because I do NOT want to look like my mother and I will Not be unpacking all of that. Its sooo funny whenever people think being a man is my end goal for being transgender like none of you humans would ever understand becoming a man is only one step in my ultimate transition goal: becoming a GOD. That’s right. If you want to respect my identity you CANT just stop at the right human gendered words and “pronouns” you have to view me as a God and Above You In Every Psyhical and Emotional Way. HAHA! I am so insecure and agonized about my sense of personal identity I hope we all DIE!

*wanderer internal monologue about gender* been thinking about growing out my hair a bit lately tbh. I’m literally like if some guy was a puppet

Q. Did Sung Hyunje complete his military service?

Sung Hyunje began to fully establish himself and his activities after his mid-twenties, so he did not actually go to the military. However, because the Crescent Moon made it so that he was recognized as a model adult male in his country, Sung Hyunje and those around him perceive him as having completed his military service in his early twenties.

At the end of the novel, Sung Hyunje is now aware of the fact that he himself hasn't served in the military (in South Korea and in this life). But in his long existence, he would have been involved with and served in the military several times, so he thinks that can be considered as having completed his military requirement. He has no intention of revealing this to Han Yoojin, though.

It's similar to how Sigma has also already served in the military, hasn't he?

Moon Hyuna, reasoning that public perception is bad if an adult who hasn't completed their military service awakens, jokingly suggested to the Puppeteer that they should register Sigma as a minor. However, the suggestion was rejected. If Sigma were to gain Korean nationality as Sung Hyunje's relative, he would have to be under twenty years old when dungeons appeared, so it's highly likely he will be registered as being in his mid-twenties ^^

Note: This is regarding the mandatory military service / conscription in South Korea. Here's a good and interesting explanation from a South Korean guy from before his conscription time (he is currently serving as per follow-up posts).

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the second paragraph about Sigma. Figured out the first half regarding Hyuna's suggestion. Basically, given the way Korean public perception works, she's saying the public would be likely to have a negative opinion of someone if it seems they 'got away' without having to serve by postponing their service initially and then 'luckily' awakening before their extension ran out. Since awakening as a hunter makes you exempt from mandatory military service.

I'm still not completely sure about the Puppeteer's reason for rejection. Why would he 'have to be under twenty when dungeons appeared' to be registered as SHJ's relative?

Q. 성현제 군필인가요?

근서 22.06.23 18:31 || 성현제가 완전히 자리잡고 활동을 시작한 것은 스물 중반 이후로 군대는 가지 않았습니다. 하지만 초승달이 해당 국가의 모범적인 성인 남성으로 인식 되도록 해놓았기에 성현제는 물론이고 주위 사람들도 스물 초반 군필이라고 인식하고 있습니다.

현재 시점의 성현제는 자신이 군대에 가지 않았다는 사실을 자각하고 있지만 긴 생에서 여러 번 군에 몸��� 담았을 것이기에 군필이라 생각합니다. 특히 한유진에게는 밝힐 마음이 없습니다. 시그마도 군대에 있었던 것과 비슷했죠.

덧붙여 시그마는 문현아가 각성 전 성인이 미필이면 인식이 나쁘다며 미성년자로 등록하자고 농담을 섞어 인형술사에게 권유했으나 거절당했습니다. 성현제의 친척으로 한국 국적을 가지게 된다면 던전이 나타났을 때 스무 살 이하여야 하기에 스물 중반으로 등록 될 가능성이 높습니다^^
