Pruning The Branches
Invisobang 2023 Can I get a Hell Yeah!!!
Thanks to the wonderful @mymadmedleyw who made wonderful art here!
😍
Flynn’s first garden was a mess. It was pretty much impossible to keep anything alive in the barren soil. Plants native to the ghost zone refused to sprout, much less the plants and seeds he’d stolen from the Greenhouse or the Garden Web— garden-like traps for newly dead ghosts that were, at this point, Flynn‘s main supply of mortal vegetation. 
The wonderful thing about it though, was every time he failed, every half grown plant that withered and died did something to the soil to make the next batch get just that much further along. Until eventually he was growing a full garden of vegetables and fruits that he could actually eat and sustain himself with. 
A human, living in the Infinite Realms. Making a home there. The thought was so ludicrous on its own, but Flynn had managed.

I've returned after a few days to give you a Misery Vex redesign! I did this as practice for a yt series idea of redesigning some of Danny Phantom's ghosts. She isn't really apart of the series because I don't think she's actually cannon to DP ( since Butch doesn't own the rights to her anymore).
I tried to design her in the show's style, but idk if I'm going to do the other redesigns in the show's original style. Also I struggled with the staff sm lmao, I'm deffinetly not a good prop designer.

My Misery Vex redesign
May I present for the Phandom’s consideration: my redesign of Misery Vex, the Weaver
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For her physical appearance, I kept the spider theme (that Fartman vomited all over his own horrible design) and made her Egyptian for backstory reasons listed below.  I also decided to make her form a solid black shadow like Spectra, but rather than looking like flame like Spectra or Shadow, I wanted her form to be something flowing and ever changing, a form made of incense smoke and shadow.  Think Eris from the animated Sinbad movie.
The really hard part was trying to some up with something that would be acceptable for TV because Ancient Egypt was A LOT more comfortable with nudity than early 2000’s Nickelodeon. 
Backstory and more art under the cut
In life, she was an Egyptian (or Nubian*) woman from Waset (aka Thebes) during the New Kingdom and daughter of the High Priest in the temple of Amun.  She’d been betrothed to the Pharoah’s son since childhood as part of a political marriage, meant to eventually be queen and named as the God’s Wife of Amun.
To prepare her for her role, she was well educated in history, politics, literature, language, and more.  And as a priestess, she was taught about medicine, the gods, and of course, magic, becoming a powerful sorceress in her own right.
She is his Cleopatra before Cleopatra: well-educated, witty, charming, and politically brilliant.
But before she could marry, she was assassinated, poisoned by a rival.
Even in death, she can’t let go of her desire for power, and after about 50 years, she met a young, but powerful, ghost of a recently slain Sherden Warrior (Pariah Dark).  Seeing an opportunity to seize the power she was denied in life, she approached and formed an alliance with him.
Misery Vex uses her magics and convinces Pariah Dark to sacrifice his eye in ritual, mirroring the gods, in exchange for power.  Pariah steals the eyes of his most powerful opponents as well to absorb their wisdom, power, and most importantly, to create a protective charm against them, leaving many powerful Ancients unable to act directly against him.
Over the next few centuries, they skyrocket in power.  He, through his physical power and military might, becomes the new Ghost King, ruler of the Infinite Realms.  She, through her political savvy and cunning, becomes his queen and confidant, his advisor, influencing his decisions and policies as a literal and metaphorical shadow ruler.
And for the first millennium, it’s good.  She is the Isis to his Osiris and have a love for the ages that puts even Cleopatra and Mark Antony to shame.  Their power continues to grow, and she creates the Crown of Fire and Ring of Rage from the power of fallen enemies.  But as centuries pass, Pariah becomes violent and cruel, corrupted by his power, as he fights to keep his throne.  
He becomes paranoid, never knowing where the next usurper or uprising will come from, and Misery Vex comes under suspicion.  He’s known of her lust for power since the beginning.  Who’s to say that she’ll stay satisfied with her current position.  When will she decide that she wants to rule directly?  Without his “interference?”
And so, he casts her out.
How dare he?!  All those years by his side.  Always loyal.  Always supporting him, calming his rage and his worries, and this is how he repays her?!
Heartbroken and furious, she begins planning her vengeance and approaches the Ancients.  She’s no fool; she can see what his growing madness is doing to the Realms.  The Ancients don’t trust her, but they have little choice.  Even if they all worked together, he’s still too powerful for them to destroy, and her own magic prevents many of them from attacking him.
She creates the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, using all the magic she’s gained over the millennia, and finally, she inscribes the sarcophagus with Pariah Dark’s secret name, his true name that he carried in life.  A name only she remembers. 
With Misery’s assistance, the Ancients manage to overthrow Pariah and seal him away. 
However, Misery Vex is too dangerous to leave loose, and the Ancients lock her away while she’s too weak to fight back.  It’s nothing as complete as the Sarcophagus, but it limits her power and influence over the Realm.
Still, she is patient, and she is endless, so she waits.
And waits.
And waits, until news reaches her of a young boy who managed to defeat Pariah is single combat.  He former husband is not destroyed, only contained, but the Realms are abuzz with talk of this new heir presumptive.
And so, she begins to stir again, making plans within plans within plans, as she moves the pieces of her senet board into place.  She’s waited centuries; what’s a few more years?
After all, what’s a young king without his Queen Mother?
* I modeled her appearance after Nyakim Gatwech who is Sudanese, so Nubian might be more appropriate or accurate.  But she was definitely a black woman who lived in Egypt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personality:
She’s extremely intelligent and cunning.  She’s unafraid to use any tool at her disposal to her advantage, whether that be her wit, knowledge, magic or sexuality and is extremely manipulative.  There are very few times she acts directly, preferring to operate through subterfuge or a cat’s paw.
What makes her truly dangerous isn’t that she’s evil, but that she’s self-serving.  She’ll work with whatever side best serves her own ambitions best at the moment, so there’s never a surefire way to know who’s side she’d truly on since she left Pariah.
She’s also more fluid in her appearance than most ghosts, changing her wardrobe every decade or so to keep up with the latest fashion, and then going back to her original look for a while.  She also has a fondness for wigs and has amassed an impressive collection of them throughout the years.

A huge commission I did for the lovely @oceankat8 a while back and never posted! Huge thank you to them for commissioning me, their redesigns of the ancients was incredibly cool to work with! It was a real challenge working with so many characters, but a fun one.
Everyone should go check them out, especially their DP tarot card series 👀

Through Traps and Overgrown Paths Our Fates Await
Inspired by "Through Traps and Overgrown Paths (Our Fates Await)" by @bubblegumbeech
Album artwork by @kawaiijohn
For @invisobang 2022
It starts with a bed of Poppy Flowers and a stranger holding out a helping hand. How was Danny to know this stranger was anything but and that Family dynamics in the Infinite Realms were even more complicated than back home?
Read the phic here: ao3 | tumblr See Dante's art for the phic here: tumblr Listen to album on bandcamp here: bandcamp
Mastered by @lexosaurus First track mixed by lexosaurus Lyrics and lead vocals in first track by bubblegumbeech
Thank you, @kinglazrus, for being the head organizing force behind Invisobang! It's been a pleasure working with you as a mod and an artist, and your spreadsheets are phantastic!
Firstly, I am so sorry for how late this is! Invisobang 2022 is over, and Invisobang 2023 is well underway! Nevertheless, I loved working on these songs, and working together with the folks above to create this music! Invisobang has been such a great experience for me, and I am so thankful to have worked on it with y'all!
Bee, your phic is amazing - I love how you've developed Flynn and his ghostly family, including Misery Vex, and their relationships to one another! And I adore how you throw Danny into this mess of a family! Very well done, and delightfully written!
And Dante, your art slaps! I love how serious and rugged you draw Flynn, and I love how you do Danny's expressions! And the cover art you made for the phic and for my work is so good - it does a great job catching the vibes of Bee's phic!
Thank you, Lexx, for mastering my work, and for mixing the first song to really capture the vibes! You did and do incredible work!
I hope this music does the phic and the art and all your work justice!

Misery Vex Redesign! I’ve been wandering around the DP Fanfic Discord and read about her, so i decided to redesign her because the concept atleast seemed fun. it took way longer than i thought it would be to design her because i got obsessed with researching.
-Ramblings about her design under the cut + Sketches-
when i read about her concept, i immediately thought about Fae and Fairies in folklore and how they were known to basically steal children or replace children for varying reasons, so i tried to make her seem friendly, despite her appearance, as some Fae are seen as beautiful or humanlike to the point that humans are more inclined to trust them and get tricked. Fae kidnap children for a varying of reasons, to turn them into a servant, into a soldier, to raise them as one of their own, to turn them into witches, etc. etc. 
Alongside the Fae inspiration, i was also inspired by the Jorogumo yokai in Japanese folklore, mainly cause of the abundance of spider stuff in the original design. in Folklore, a Jorogumo is a yokai who transforms into a human woman to trick her victims into trusting her, i knew a bit about them thanks to Rottmnt so it was fun to research. the spider I’m basing her off is the Nephila spider, which is one of the species that Jorogumo can refer to, and they’re most well known for their golden silk. i tried to incorporate bright gold in her design but went with Bronzer gold and red webs instead. might sketch a more spider based form for her who knows
Finally in connection to both, i got inspired by the Snow Queen, especially after looking through concept art for the original plans for Elsa and also reading abit of the original story, nothing really ice based about her but i just reminded because of the Snow Queen abducting the boy and keeping him in her castle. so she has a similar attitude, that being that she isnt exactly a bad person however that doesnt mean she isnt a good person either. i also made her have a more regal look than the superhero/villain look of the original design since the era Pariah Dark seemed to have been active was around the Dark ages or earlier
I kept her as an Ancient, since i liked the concept and wanted to explore them more. instead of gloved hands, her hands are exposed and both of her arms contrasts against the rest of her body. she probably was more skeletal in the past but needed to look more human to be able to sneak past in the human realm. the cracks in her hands are from the battle in containing Pariah Dark, since he’s The Ghost King i’d think that he found a way to permanently scar other ghosts.
The Ancients probably dont have a true form, being beings shrouded in mystery, but they are able to transform their forms into what they want and how they see fit depending on what their duty is 
Anyways enough rambling, have some sketches!

You know as much as I hate Flynn Fenton it would have been interesting if the backstory Hartman proposed in that lame video was true, and he did exist in the canon timeline. Just because of how the math works out and how it would have affected the show’s story.
Because if he did exist in canon, we the viewers and Danny would have encountered, met, and learned about what happened to Flynn without anyone ever mentioning him, or Danny even encountering him in the Ghost Zone as Exodus*.
*Which is another dumb thing I hate and I’m getting rid of. No Exodus only Flynn.
The thing is that Flynn is 8 years older than Danny. Danny got his powers at age 14, which is the same year as his parents and Vlad’s 20 year collage reunion. Flynn would have been 22 at the time Danny got his powers.
Meaning he would have been alive, well, and 2 years old at the point of the proto-portal accident that turned Vlad half-ghost.
Implying one thing:
Flynn is biologically just Maddie’s kid, from a previous relationship back in her hometown, where Flynn is staying with her family while she goes to collage. [Flynn’s green eyes, the fact that he’s nowhere to be seen at the collage.] She meets both Vlad and Jack at the same time and become friends, and she and Jack eventually start dating and get married after collage, and Jack adopts Flynn as a Fenton.
Vlad and Jack were roommates, and Jack is the kind of man to never shut up about his kids in canon unless he’s ranting about ghosts. So if Flynn was Jack’s kid by blood, Vlad would have known about him, and Jack’s relationship with Maddie with in an hour of knowing him.
I also don’t think Jack and Vlad would have been roommates if Jack was already with Maddie in some kind of capacity before collage. So Jack can’t be Flynn’s biological father.
So if Flynn existed in canon, we and Danny would be introduced to Flynn, even if indirectly, in the episode Masters of All Time. Where Danny goes back in time to change the proto-portal accident, and stop Vlad from becoming a Halfa, leading to Jack becoming a Halfa instead, and Vlad and Maddie end up married.
Remember Flynn would already exist and be 2 years old by the time of the proto-portal accident, irregardless of the accident itself and who ends up half dead in the aftermath of it. So in a timeline where Jack ends up as Jack Plasmius and Maddie ends up as Maddie Masters, Flynn is still in the picture irregardless.
Danny would have at the very least encountered pictures of a redheaded green eyed boy, teen, and eventual adult scattered through out Vlad’s castle. He would have heard about Flynn going off to collage, about Vlad adopting Flynn as Flynn Masters after he and Maddie married.
About Flynn being born from before his mom met Jack or Vlad, meaning he would be his (Danny) and Jazz’s older half brother. Who Danny had no idea even existed for some reason.
Heck, Flynn could have very well been home visiting, or live at home with Maddie and Vlad. Or Vlad or Maddie could have called him back home after a strange young boy showed up on their doorstep calling Maddie mom.
Danny could have physically met Flynn, could have even found himself enjoying his company. Finding things in common with this strange older boy, who was supposed to be in his life, but isn’t for some reason. Things that Flynn did that reminded Danny of himself, reminded him of Jazz.
Maybe it’s Flynn who believes Danny when he says he comes from a parallel timeline, and he accepts this nervous kid as his baby brother. Maybe it’s not Maddie or Jack who tell Danny he has to fix the timeline back to how it used to be, it’s Flynn.
Because how could Maddie ask this boy she barely knows, even if he is her son from another timeline, to change the timeline. From one where she knows that her first born son, the only child she’d gotten to have in this life, is safe and healthy, and if not happy is at least alive. And change it to one where no one knows what happened to him, and she’s gone so far as to hide his very existence from her youngest son.
Even if she’s somehow, in spite of the loss of her oldest son deliriously happy and in love with her husband, doing what she loves. Even if she has a daughter she wants to meet, and a younger son she wants to get to know.
How could she trade the life of the child she’d loved and raised for 22 years, for a boy she barely knows, and the concept of a daughter? No matter how angry she is at Vlad for lying to her and manipulating her into staying with him for years, or how much of a missed opportunity everything with Jack feels like, she can’t bring herself to ask this strange boy who is also somehow her son to change anything at all.
Flynn who’s 22 years old and lived a life full of secrets and subterfuge looks this 14 year old kid in the face, who’s so obviously used to hiding things from everyone around him. And he says, “You do what you have to do to get things back to how they’re meant to be. Don’t worry about me Kid I’ll be fine, no matter what happens. You worry about yourself, and Jazz, and your friends. In that order, alright. Trust that I can handle myself, and we’ll find each other, alright.”
[”You shouldn’t tell Daddy about Mommy’s hobby Sweetie, he won’t like it. And well I’m not hurting anyone now am I?” as his mother toiled away for hours in a secret room he’d been asked to lie to his father about existing.
“Well Champ sometimes we have to keep things from the ones we love to protect them,” as his new (at the time) father burned the letters from an old collage friend named Fenton asking if he could meet up with his parents and talk.]
And when Danny, frantic, asks, “But what if we don’t? What if I never find you!?”
The red haired man smiles, shrugs and bitterly says, “Then that’s just how it’s meant to be. If you had to change the entire timeline for me to be here, then chances are I’m not where I’m supposed to be anymore than you are right now.”
So Danny does go back to the proto-portal incident, and makes sure Vlad Masters is the one hit by the portal. He learns the cause of ecto-acne and goes back to his original timeline. With the ecto-acne situation resolved Danny has something else he has to focus on.
What happened to Flynn, and how exactly was he going to find him and bring him home?
[I also like to imagine that Danny has a picture with the Flynn Masters version of Flynn. Something he shows Jazz when he inevitably confronts her about the whole “Older brother no one in the family thought I should know about” confrontation that would obviously happen at some point.
Danny can’t exactly confront their parents about Flynn, they have information on him locked down tighter than anything else in their life, and Danny didn’t even have a hint of Flynn’s existence before crossing into another timeline.
So trying to learn more about Flynn and possibly how he disappeared falls to Jazz in this case.]

Dannymay Day 11: Blood Blossoms
I really wanted to try my hand at drawing Flynn, heavily inspired by @the-stove-is-on-fire’s design. Idea under the cut:
The fandom has a lot of cool ideas about Flynn, which I’m building off. Mainly that Flynn Walker is Alicia’s son who runs away and disappears into a naturally occurring portal to the ghost zone. I love the ideas with Flynn as this survivalist that’s lived most of his life in the zone, but what if he just...never grew up at all?
I was thinking of things like fairy circles, where humans come up with myths about people disappearing in the woods to another realm. The ghost zone already has a weird relationship with time and natural portals snatching people up like the Bermuda triangle, so it’s not a stretch to say he could’ve been pulled into the future. So young Flynn wanders through the natural portal and arrives in one of the few places meant to “protect” humans in the ghost zone, where blood blossoms grow (and maybe kids don’t age?). Anyway I’m picturing Danny discovering this suspiciously anti-ghost domain and then coming head to head with a feral child and that’s how he finds out what happened to his long lost cousin. Artist’s rendition:

@ephemeralshot said: Michael huffs as he turns his reddened gaze from the other angel, his teeth seething. He couldn’t look Lucifer in the eye right now or he might be at risk for throwing more of the lavish furniture at him with no avail. “Don’t come near.” // gives you an angry Michael cuz hey why not >:3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Subtlety is far from Michael's forte when it comes to his rage. It fills the space like smoke and sulfur dioxide from a spewing volcano, tangible enough it would make lesser beings cower and grovel. But Lucifer? He's been on the receiving end of such rage more times than even he can fathom. Pre-fall, post-fall, it made no difference when he knew Michael's rage with intimate familiarity.
" You should know that won't dissuade me, Michael. " Lucifer answers, his voice calm and smooth compared to the strained sound of Michael. Part of Lucifer wants to push and push and push. What would Michael do if he didn't fight back? Would he be horrified at the brutality once red faded, or would he be happy? Satisfied? Yet, for his words, Lucifer doesn't actually move closer.
He tilts his head, gold eyes watching God's Shield snarl and gnash his teeth like an animal at a cage bar. He folds his arms across his chest, and then his wings flare out and stretch out, blocking out light that he was once the bearer of. " I don't know which is worse, your sulking or your rage. I like your rage more though. " It's familiar. He knows what to do with that. He does not know what to do with Michael's sorrow.

Thinking about how @bubblegumbeech writes Misery Vex like here, or here. Esp with the whole “Misery lost her first child to the Observants” thing from one of the fics and how that probably affects how she treats the rest of the children she takes in. Its fine.
She looks v. human here because I wanted to emphasis the vulnerability and humanity rather than her usual form

jesus christ if tlovm's focus on vax to the exclusion and underwriting of other storylines is a trend for lob characters then the mighty nein animated series is going to be un-fucking-bearable. i love campaign vax and i love his storyline, but they really just nerfed vex's entire feywild arc and boiled it down to daddy issues and needing men's approval so that they could also squeeze in two separate combat sessions that were all about how the feywild is allergic to vax. which is a concept that i love since the feywild and shadowfell are natural opposites but christ. At What Cost. at what cost!!!

Invisobang 2022 Through Traps and Overgrown Paths (Our Fates Await)
By Bubblegumbeech @invisobang
Art Here by @kawaiijohn and (soon to be) Here by @bibliophilea   they are SO wonderful yall I am awestruck
----
Sam and Tucker shared a glance as Danny parked the Spectre Speeder and started gathering his protective equipment.
 “Do you really need all that?” Sam asked.
 “Yeah dude. For a field of flowers?” Tucker added. “I mean. I know they’re ghost flowers but you defeated Undergrowth. I think a field of poppy flowers is within your abilities.”
 Danny huffed. “Frostbite said it’s important.”
 He continued trying to put the unnecessarily complicated (and clearly made for yetis of a different stature than Danny) suit on. It slipped off his shoulder.
 Scowling, Danny forced it back into place, trying a trick he’d learned by manipulating ectoplasm to try and stick it together so it wouldn’t keep falling off.
 That should be good enough, right?
 About five minutes into the Poppy Bed—sorting through the different types of frustratingly similar looking ghost poppies to find the ones specified in Frostbite's directions—Danny and his friends had picked enough to fill the container Frostbite had given them and more. Tucker stood up straight, not bothering to shake any of the pollen off his hands, and wiped at his forehead with his arm.
 “Please tell me this is enough,” he said, a droopy, exhausted look in his eyes.
 Sam nodded. “Yeah Danny, I’m beat. Let’s head back for —”   she hadn’t finished before she lost her balance and was forced to take a knee. Danny quickly moved to catch her, but when he did, instead of stabilizing, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell completely asleep.
 “Sam?” he asked, panicked. “Sam why —”
 Then he heard a thump, and looked up to see that Tucker had fallen asleep too, right in the middle of the Poppy Bed.

Misery giggles, tapping away the vodka droplets from side of her mouth.
"So Jinana" Misery lowers her chin and a sly smile appears on her lips as she sticks her finger into the empty shot glasses and spins it around in the most annoying way humanly possible "do you have a crush on anyone?"
[ Drunken Confessions ]
@misery-lake 💜
---
"A crush?" Jinana gives an incredulous laugh. "I don't think I've had a crush since I was... oh, eighteen, maybe?" S/he shakes hir head. "I see what I want, I pursue. If they say no... there are always others." A noncommittal shrug, causing hir shawl to slip off hir shoulder.
S/he traces a fingertip in the air, leaving a little trail of illusory hearts and flowers. "It was awful when I was a teenager, though. Imagine having all kinds of ridiculous things manifest when a crush is near - hearts, butterflies, flowers, sparkles. All on top of the normal horrors of being an adolescent." S/he snickers. "I'm so glad those days are behind me."
