(Part Two aka the final part to this)

As soon as Steve parks outside of Eddie's trailer, he races to Eddie's car door and opens it for him.

Eddie shoots him a bewildered look as he makes his way out of his car. "I can open my door, you know."

"But a proper date opens the door for you."

Eddie snorts. "So this is already starting?"

Steve shrugs as he follows Eddie to his front door. "I need all the time I can get to prove you wrong. Plus, I need to see this charm you insisted you have."

Eddie opens the door and dramatically guides Steve inside, quickly closing the door behind them. He stuffs his hands in his pants and avoids eye contact with Steve, staring off as if contemplating something. Eddie shakes his head and looks back at Steve. "Welcome to my home," he says holding his arms wide.

Steve glances around and nods. "It's cozy. I like it."

"No need to lie to me, Harrington."

"I'm not," Steve insists and laughs humorlessly. "I mean, you should see my house. It's huge but extremely uncomfortable. My parents hired a decorator and insisted that we couldn't make a single change. It's just so..."

"Nice to look at but not nice to live in?" Eddie asks, finishing his sentence again.

Steve nods quickly. "Exactly that."

Eddie gives him a small smile and leans back against his kitchen counter. That same distracted look crosses over his face.

Steve can't help but walk closer to him and say, "Eddie?"

Eddie snaps out of it and asks, "Why are you here, Harrington?"

"To prove you wrong and help Dustin," Steve answers easily, leaving out the part about how he needs to know where this will go.

Eddie hums in response and pauses before asking, "So, you're not going to use this against me."

Steve sighs. "Maybe I would've in high school, but no. I won't tell anyone how much I'm going to 'woo' you." Steve throws up air quotes around the word woo which makes Eddie smile a bit.

"Then can I tell you a secret?"

Steve nods.

Eddie pushes off the counter and steps toward him. "I've never been on a date before."

Steve stares at him for a second. "And Dustin still asked you for help?"

Eddie scoffs and walks past him. "No need to rub it in."

Steve runs a hand through his hair and follows after him. "Sorry, that was stupid to say." He grabs Eddie's hand gently and waits for him to turn to him. "I'm sorry," he says sincerely, "Not cool."

Eddie just gives him an unimpressed look.

"It's just hard to share Dustin. I'm used to him only going to me for help. I don't know. It probably sounds dumb."

"It doesn't," Eddie says, squeezing his hand.

Steve glances down at their hands, having forgotten that he had even grabbed Eddie's in the first place. He runs his thumb over the back of Eddie's and says, "Let's do this trial run."

Eddie pulls his hand away and runs it over his face. "Steve, I don't know how to go on a date."

"Which is exactly why we're doing this and whatever else you have planned for Dustin and Suzie after the movie date. Plus, I still have to prove you wrong." Eddie pulls his hair in front of his face nervously. Steve reasons, "Plus, this can be practice for any future dates."

"A date with Steve Harrington," Eddie says with a laugh.

Steve shrugs. "Why not?"

Eddie eyes him and breathes out, "Okay."

"Okay?"

"We can do this trial run, but just because I'm new to this doesn't mean you'll have an easier time winning me over."

Steve smiles and saunters up to him. "Are you sure about that?"

Eddie's eyes flicker down to his lips and back to his eyes, immediately making Steve's heartbeat stutter. He doesn't expect Eddie to card a hand through his hair smoothly, tilting his head back and making Steve's knees buckle a little. Eddie smirks. "Careful, you're not the only one who needs to prove themselves."

He backs away quickly and moves to his kitchen, rummaging around before coming up with a bag of popcorn which he pops in the microwave. Steve clears his throat, trying to gather himself before asking, "How have you never been on a date before?"

Eddie raises an eyebrow at him.

"I mean, you have all the... charm stuff down."

Eddie smiles. "So, you're already admitting to my charm."

Steve just puts his hands on his hips unimpressed.

Eddie's smile falters before he answers, "Okay, I mean I've hooked up with people at the Hideout, but no one's stuck around to actually go on a date with me."

Steve nods but replies, "That's hard to believe."

Eddie shakes his head. "Let's just say that it's easier for you than it is for me."

It feels like Steve's had this conversation before with... Robin? But why would it feel so familiar? He glances back at Eddie who has a bit of fear in his eyes.

The microwave beeps and suddenly it hits Steve.

He watches as Eddie grabs the bag, cursing slightly when the steam hits him. For some reason the revelation makes Steve feel a bit more nervous as the chance of something happening increases dramatically.

"Hey," Steve says, "It's okay if you're... you know."

Eddie's head snaps up.

Steve holds his hands up. "I promise I won't tell a soul."

Eddie relaxes a bit, but he stays behind the counter as he asks, "And you still want to do this trial run knowing that...?"

"Yeah," Steve says a little bit too enthusiastically, "Now I can be sure that your judgment of my skills is accurate."

This makes Eddie laugh loudly, and Steve immediately smiles. "You know, I think I'm finally starting to see why Dustin likes you so much."

"And why the ladies love me so much?"

"Don't push it, Harrington," Eddie says, pointing a finger at him before grabbing a bowl to put the popcorn in. He grabs the bowl and gestures for Steve to follow him to the couch. "So, you're the expert here, what do you recommend?"

"Like movie options?" Steve asks as he makes himself comfortable.

"Movie options, seating arrangements, where to put the popcorn..." Eddie trails off.

Steve tucks his feet under himself and shrugs. "Depends. If we were Dustin and Suzie I would say to watch something cheesy or something science fiction that they both enjoy. Dustin should definitely watch to see if her hand is free to hold at any point, but that's about it for them."

"And how would it change for us- or me?"

Steve smiles and scoots in closer, throwing an arm over the back of the couch. "If it's here then definitely get as comfortable and close as you want. As for a movie, it depends. Do you actually want to watch the movie or do you want background noise?"

Eddie rolls his eyes. "Classy."

Steve laughs. "No, no, I don't mean like hooking up. I mean if you just want to talk and get to know each other maybe make out a little, you want to pick a movie that you've both seen and won't be upset missing." He glances toward a stack of tapes near them and points at one. "Like Back to the Future, great movie to comment on and talk during, but I wouldn't be upset about missing parts. But I'm guessing you're like Dustin and Star Wars would be a no-go for missing scenes. At least, I was that way when watching."

"You've seen Star Wars? Which one?"

"The one with the little teddy bears."

Eddie hums in response.

"So, what are you thinking for a movie?" Steve asks.

"Back to the Future would be nice, but maybe we do like thirty minutes so we can get to my part of the date without you falling asleep on me," Eddie suggests.

"You already have an idea?"

Eddie shrugs and looks away. "It's kind of always been a date idea in the back of my mind."

"Secret romantic," Steve teases, hand dropping down from the couch to Eddie's shoulder, squeezing lightly.

Eddie tenses up a little, so Steve asks, "Is this okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just not used to it," Eddie answers honestly.

Steve nods and pulls away, moving to put the tape in the VHS player before coming back to the couch. He sits a little further away from Eddie and says, "We can keep our distance if that's more comfortable with you."

Eddie just nods and looks ahead at the screen, tilting the bowl of popcorn toward Steve who takes a handful. He tries to find something to say, but he's struck by sudden nervousness and wonders if Eddie's right about him cruising based on his looks because usually by this point whatever girl he's with is giggling and practically climbing into his lap to get closer to him.

But then Eddie relaxes a bit and throws his arm around the back of the couch which fills Steve with relief. "So, how did you get so close to Dustin? He goes on and on about you, but he never has told me that story."

Steve shrugs, trying not to give away how much the question freaks him out. He tries to keep the answer as close to the truth as he can. "He's friends with Nancy's younger brother so he's kind of always been around I guess. One day, I was bringing flowers to Nancy to apologize for doing something stupid, but Dustin found me instead. He told me that Nancy wasn't home and that he needed a ride and help with something, and the rest is history."

Eddie narrows his eyes at him. "I feel like there's more to the story."

Steve shrugs again and shoves a handful of popcorn in his mouth.

"Like the whole bat with nails that Dustin didn't even look twice at. The story between you two doesn't make sense."

Steve swallows his mouthful and moves closer to Eddie. "What if I told you that it's a story I'll have to come back to another time?"

Eddie twists toward him and tilts his head. "Do you really think that's going to make me less curious? And I see what you're doing trying to distract me with your charm."

Steve tucks a strand of hair behind Eddie's ear and asks, "Well, is it working?"

Eddie just shakes his head and says, "You wish, pretty boy." Nonetheless, he turns back to the movie leaving Steve to privately panic over the way the nickname makes him feel.

And maybe he wants to torture himself or something because next thing he knows, he's asking, "Well, how would you have distracted me?"

Eddie's head slowly turns to him, eyebrows raised. "Do you really want to know?"

Steve blames morbid curiosity as the reason he nods in response.

Eddie sets the bowl of popcorn down - and the implications of that scare Steve shitless - and he moves until their knees are touching. He gets a thoughtful look on his face as he recalls their conversation. "So, I was saying something about how the story between you didn't make sense. And instead of agreeing with it, I would've said something like. You know what doesn't make sense? How someone so gorgeous ended up here with me."

Steve flushes red but simultaneously snorts in response, "That's a horrible line."

"Yet, you're the one who is blushing."

Steve raises his eyebrows and says, "Well, if I got a do-over and time to think like you, then maybe I would've done something like this." Steve leans in and puts a hand on his chest, slouching down so he has to look up through his lashes to say, "Maybe that's a story for another time because right now... I have other ideas about what we could be doing."

Eddie stares down at him, hand slipping off the couch to trail up his back and into his hair. "And here I thought that you had said more intimate didn't mean sex."

Steve smiles and hopes Eddie can't feel his heart pounding in his chest. "It's true, but I also told you that some movies are great background noise to make out during."

Eddie's eyes flicker down to his lips, and Steve can feel his eyes start to flutter shut.

But then, Eddie abruptly pulls back and says, "Okay, yeah, you got me. I understand the Harrington charm."

Steve only smiles slightly, feeling the disappointment settle in his chest at losing the chance to kiss the boy.

"So, I think date part one is covered. Onto my part?" Eddie asks, already standing up and rushing to stop the film.

"Yeah, sure," Steve says.

Eddie glances at him and pauses before beckoning him to follow him. Steve gets up immediately and follows Eddie to where he assumes his room is and suddenly gets a wave of panic.

Eddie glances back and must catch the look. "Relax, I'm just grabbing you some warmer clothes."

Steve nods but stays in the doorway, glancing around at Eddie's room. Something about it feels so Eddie that he can't help but smile at it.

"Here," Eddie says, thrusting a yellow sweater into his hands, "I haven't worn it in forever but it should keep you warm."

"Thanks," Steve says, stripping off his jacket to throw on the sweater before putting the jacket back on. "But why do I need more clothes?"

Eddie smiles. "You'll see." He grabs the blanket off his bed and walks past Steve to the front door. He opens it and says, "After you."

Steve gives him a look of confusion before heading out the front door. Eddie follows behind him and closes the door before grabbing Steve's hand and leading him around the trailer to a ladder which he immediately starts climbing.

Steve tries to advert his eyes from the view Eddie's giving him before he follows him up the ladder, grabbing Eddie's hand once he makes it to the top in an attempt to steady himself. He's never been the biggest fan of heights, but he doesn't want to admit that to Eddie who guides him to the middle of the roof. He lets go of his hand to lay out a blanket and immediately lays down on it, patting the empty spot next to him.

Steve lays down and lets out a deep breath as he sees their view of the night sky, glittering with stars.

"Pretty amazing, right?"

All Steve can do is nod. He doesn't know if he's ever really taken the time to stare at the sky and appreciate its beauty.

"I like to go up here to clear my mind sometimes. But I've always thought it would be nice to share with someone else. But maybe Dustin and Suzie can just lay out in his yard instead because I think it would be life or death before I let one of them up here. Dustin would break a leg or something."

Steve chuckles and glances at Eddie only to find him staring at him as if trying to gauge his reaction. "Thank you for taking me up here," he says sincerely, going as far as reaching into the space between them and intertwining their fingers.

Eddie's hand squeezes his as he turns to look up at the stars, looking so at peace with the world that Steve can't help but stare at him.

Eddie glances at him. "Look at the stars, Steve. You're wasting your time staring at me."

"The stars are here every night though, so maybe I want to spend all the time I can looking at you."

Eddie turns to him with a conflicted look on his face. "Is this your Harrington charm?"

Steve shakes his head. "It's just the truth." He sighs and looks up at the sky. "Do you ever wish you could start over knowing everything you know now?"

"Yes," Eddie answers immediately, thumb running over the back of Steve's hand. "What would you change?"

Steve considers the question for a moment before turning to Eddie and saying, "Everything."

Eddie looks back at him and asks, "Would you change this?"

Steve's eyes search Eddie's, wondering how he wants him to answer the question, but he answers honestly, "I wouldn't have been such a dick earlier, and I would've changed this from a trial date to a real date."

Eddie whispers, "There's nothing stopping it from changing now."

Steve shifts onto his side and looks down at him. "Are you sure you want a date with King Steve of all people?"

Eddie shakes his head. "I don't think that's you. So why don't you prove me wrong?" he asks, running a hand through Steve's hair before resting it on the back of his head.

Steve lets Eddie take the lead to slowly drag him in, pausing when they're close enough to be breathing each other's air. "Are you sure you want this?" Eddie asks.

"More than you could possibly know," Steve replies before closing the gap between them and gently brushing their lips together before breaking the kiss to look Eddie in the eyes and make sure he's okay.

Eddie just pulls him back in and kisses him as if he's pouring everything he's feeling into the kiss which Steve returns just as passionately, unable to deny the truth that no kiss has ever made him feel this way before.

He cradles Eddie's face as they deepen the kiss and Eddie tries to pull him in impossibly closer, both hands making a mess of his hair until Steve pulls away, breathing hard before moving in to kiss him again as sweetly as he can before he rests their foreheads together.

They both try to catch their breath, and neither dares break the silence between them.

Eventually, Steve gives Eddie a gentle kiss on the forehead and rolls away onto his back, finding Eddie's hand and intertwining their fingers again.

They both stare up at the stars, not looking at each other until Eddie finally breaks the silence to ask, "Steve, where do we go from here?"

Steve turns to him and squeezes his hand. "I don't know," he confesses. "But what if we didn't think about it now? What if we just see what happens?" Steve asks, not wanting to think of the reality of their situation.

Eddie nods. "I like that idea."

So, they both turn back to the stars, wishing that their paths will be able to cross again.

Little do they know that their wishes will be granted soon.

Cap should be allowed to teleport to the rock with his transformation lightning. I mean that's where it's coming from, after all.

He would use it to get out of so many situations XD.

Batman: captain, do you have a minute to stay after this meeting?

Billy, going to be late for school if he doesn't hup to: um haha sorry the wizard wants me back at the rock I'm already pushing it hahaSHAXAM

The wizard, looking up from his orb: *raises an eyebrow*

Cap, transforming back with more lightning and rushing for his bag: I'm sorry I'm sorry Mrs Ermine is going to KILL me if I'm late again this week!

The wizard, to his rapidly retreating back: this is the seventh time this month you've used me as an excuse.

Billy, halfway down the hall of sins, voice echoing: I said I'm sorrrryyyyyyy!!

Batman, left all the way on the watchtower: :|

#This is how he avoids all the fangirls and reporters XD #Freddy gets a video of cap doing the ✌️ *fades from sight* vine but it's a huge crash of thunder #It has the power to make everyone assume lightning is how cap arrives in earth (which is TECHNICALLY true)#People try to count the lightning strikes like they're kids trying to see how close the storm is but there's just too many lol #In the end they give up counting to try and figure out when caps coming or going and crime just tanks in lightning storms #Ironically the lack of crime means that's the time Billy transforms the least XD #Like I know he uses portal doors but they never get enough use anyway and the champion of magic guardian of the rock #probably needs emergency access. Plus you can't take anyone else the lightning way and you'd probably kill them trying!#captain marvel dc #dc captain marvel #shazam #billy batson #Dc the captain :D. I like his new name I hope they keep it #Anyway #rock of eternity

warning: long idea that came from u so u deserve to hear about it

was ranting to my sister about ur sketches cuz i fell in love with them and they are hitting at like 3 obsessions at once so points for u-

anyway I talked about the fenton creep stick (the joker panel) and my sister (who never watched dp) asked what it was, and after a confusing explanation we decided that a fenton creep stick can be any kind of object that is 1) long and swingable (like a crowbar or even a pipe) and 2) sturdy and not easily breakable

after being in the phandom I saw a lot of headcannons that after the ghosts appeared, the fentons started doing speeches at Casper, and they gave out fenton creep sticks "to be safe" or that the fentons sell those to Amity Parkers (THEY'RE NOT GUNS so they can do it) so pretty much everyone has one

adding those ideas to the fact that my sister thought at first that the stick had something to do with CREEPS (like pedos or stalkers cuz of the name) I now imagine the most famous design of fenton creep stick to be one of those stun sticks (that can not only be used on ghosts, but actual creeps!!!)

enjoy this idea cuz it sure gave me joy

asdfghjkl anon your brain wrinkles are amazing that idea is so funny to me. The anti-creep sticks are advertised all over town and it’s treated the same as a McDonald’s ad. No one really gives a shit but they still take note when there’s something new out.

And if you wanted to throw in the supervillain AU, I imagine it would go like this:

#pondhead replies #like imagine the jl just waltz through the dimension portal danny has been using #and this is the first thing they see #more than one creep stick was pointed at them when they were trying to ask about Fenton #they saw the branding and fenton merch and just assumed he kidnapped a whole town #and somehow made them into die hard fans #they don’t even realize they’re in another universe at first cause the amity parkers see a bunch of weirdos in costumes #and assume it’s Ghost Buisness #so they just defend themselves accordingly #god this is so funny to me #danny phantom #supervillain danny au #mad scientist danny #they are horrified that the Fentons give weapons to small children #imagine some random sixth grader is on par with Nightwing’s agility #probably because of ectoplasm enchancement stuff #but still that would be so jarring to see #a middle schooler goes toe-to-toe with Jon Kent in a game of tag #and can actually give a good fight to Damian #and the whole place is like this #and somehow Fenton IS STILL THE WEIRD ONE #sorry got carried away #hello to anon and their sister!!!#dpxdc

Why does Bad keeps constantly asking "where is Forever? where do you think he's gone?"

Like is his memory getting worse? But then, when Baghera first came to him, and told about the letter saying "if you read this, it means I'm probably dead" his first reaction, was to ask "where is he?" again

#qsmp #forever #badboyhalo #everyone assumed he is in the nether since day 1 #but he keeps asking the same question #it may be due to his memory getting worse #but then he goes to the portal sometimes #so ??? IDK

what if I made a bard Tav who was like. Incredibly famous musician. Booked out for months in advance. Regularly performs for kings and dukes and ladies and empresses. Has to perform at jousting fields because there's never enough room for the crowds at the local taverns. And then every time they walk up to rescue a companion for the first time they have to deal with the companion doing the Faerûn equivalent of

#Shadowheart assumes she's already dead because Fantasy Beyonce is rescuing her from the pod #Gale has a freak out for a solid five minutes after being pulled out of the portal #Karlach cries because she accidentally burned up her 1490DR Lets Go Avernus World Tour shirt #Wyll tries to play it SO COOL and points out he saw her play at a private party in BG before his dad kicked him out but also #he fumbles the ball a lot because he can't help but fanboy #I think I'm hilarious

i already know what the story behind the picture is but please explain it anyway we need to educate the masses

oh my god thank you for enabling me ive been thinking about this all day. regarding this post i made yesterday and this classic image (which i actually just found out was posted seven years ago today!)

basically as can be read in the post at BigFest in 2016 somebody had what i believe was a fan-made prop based on the laptop from season 2 of gravity falls. alex hirsch attended this convention and decided to type in the password to the laptop. we never learned the password in the show so lots of people were excited to find out!

a HUGE thing to note here is that journal 3 was still months away from releasing and in fact while a couple pages had been released as promotional material it was still being worked on until, like... gosh i wanna say may is when they finally started printing it? don't quote me on that though my point is that this was all taking place pre-journal 3 and, therefore, many fans were still operating under the (sensible) impression that the laptop which

had been designed by fiddleford

had been built by fiddleford

had fiddleford's name on it

said "PROPERTY OF F" on it (at this point it had been established through promo images that "F" referred to fiddleford)

was assumed to be fiddleford's by, like, four different main characters

was given to and used by fiddleford following s2e7

fiddleford presumably knew the password to

would also belong to fiddleford. right? i mean logically. logically, guys.

so when alex hirsch revealed that the password had been "STANFORD" all along, people thought that was a little bit... well

of course, a couple months later journal 3 would be published and it would say that the laptop had actually been STANFORD'S, not fiddleford's, and that he had made the password his own name. so technically i lied in my earlier post, there IS a heterosexual explanation for this, but imo it's still bullshit. like sorry i don't believe for a fucking second that stanford "i need to encode all of my messages in multiple ciphers and write in invisible ink" pines would ever make a password as simple as his own name. he wouldve picked like something with six different layers of alternate meanings and also put it through atbash at the VERY least. also as i listed above there is a LOT of evidence which would support the laptop belonging to fiddleford, as opposed to ford, which has this random retcon (and like... some of the computer keys are different colors? i guess?? idk that bit was stupid) as its only supporting evidence.

my theory is that, while writing the show, alex and the other writers had intended for the laptop to belong to fiddleford, but for whatever reason, when they were writing the book, they decided to make it ford's instead. i want to make clear that i DON'T think this swap was motivated by homophobia, or as a reaction to seeing people interpret the password in a gay way. by the time that this photo was taken several promotional journal pages had been released, so it's safe to say that even if they were still adding the finishing touches to the book, it was pretty much in its final stage and in fact might have already started printing (i think the first photos we see of the book itself were posted like a week or two after bigfest). so to assume that there's a correlation there is both unfounded and extremely unlikely.

now, the stargazing scene reprint, on the other hand

#long post #gravity falls #fiddauthor #<- why the fuck not. it's midnight no one can judge me #why are you as a man making your computer password the name of the man you live alone in the woods with #sorry anon i doubt think this is what you had in mind when you said “explain it” LMAO #tales of the wild zeep #uhhh a couple other notes #1. i do not know who made the laptop prop at bigfest. i assumed it was a fan but i wasn't there i really don't know #2. i said may is when they started printing the book but i have literally no source for that #it is a guess based on when promotional photos were being posted #3. i say “fiddleford presumably knew the password to [the laptop]” and i just wanted to explain my reasoning there #basically in s2e10 fiddleford says that he “fixed” the laptop and is shown using it #we also see it at the start of the following episode being used to monitor the activity of the portal #now. i am not a computer engineer. i am mediocre with computers at best.#but based on what i have been told. when you are faced with a password screen. there are two ways to proceed #one way is to reset the computer's hard drive entirely‚ to... “erase its memory” if you will #however this would result in one being unable to access any of the information which had previously been stored there #considering that we see fiddleford using the laptop to monitor the portal's activity i believe that its files must have been intact #so we can rule out resetting as an option #the other way to proceed is by. um. knowing the password. and entering it #so THAT'S why i say that he PRESUMABLY knew the password.#now it's entirely possible that he was able to hack into the laptop or something. he is a mechanical genius and he built it after all #i'm just saying that i think it's far more likely that he just. knew the password.#which is honestly really funny and still kind of gay if you believe the whole “the laptop was actually ford's” thing #why are you as a man telling your computer password to the man you live alone in the woods with when you wont even write it in your diary #fucking apologies for this OCEAN of tags. ive done taxes all day im an adult im allowed to infodump about old hyperfixations as a treat

im gonna start shitting out why i think wheatley has bpd and npd. mainly npd.

split goes here when i can get this post to my laptop cause my phone wont let me add splits. WEHHH

simplest part is the fact he takes the credit fer everything

no matter what the achievement is, wheatley is rly fucking quick to say it was his own genius that solved the puzzle er issue, not chell, despite the fact chell was the one doing p much everything.

has trouble admitting his own faults / shifts the blame to other people

often is extremely overconfident about his own abilities even when he makes an error (and he'd rather focus on the fact he was "always right" over the fact he made an error)

has had npd highs

also in the last sentence of the three screenshots he talks about how hes the one who did everything and chell didnt accomplish anything. i know what you are wheatley

also has npd crashes paired with rly ""over the top"" anger

other thoughts

hes very very emotive and outward and i definitely think his bpd has to do with it. hes extremely sensitive about his own intelligence and will consider himself a genius and often focus his own confidence around his intelligence and abilities, but will take it extremely poorly when its implied er hes told that he isnt as smart as he believes he is. bro is textbook npd with the way hes both extremely insecure about his own intelligence but also extremely confident about it.

#burger labs.txt #portal #portal 2 #wheatley #headcanon #ramble #also i get it bevause i have the exact same #thing with my own smarts.#he gets it. Bro gets it #he gets very defensive also .#and the way he always assumes others around him are #less smart than he is ???? I know what you are

The Living Queen

There’s a variety of mythological figures I head canon as Liminal, mostly the ones that involve the figure in question visiting the underworld/fey realm/otherworld and then returning unharmed but 100% changed (and sometimes with powers).

But there’s only ever really one that I head canon to be a halfa the way Danny, Vlad, and Dani are halfas. As in having two distinct forms, one human and the other ghost. And not having a singular blended form.

Persephone, goddess of spring, queen of the underworld.

Mainly because the myth of Kore becoming Persephone has her kidnapped by Hades (the guy), but they also often mention the ground itself splitting open a portal to Hades (the underworld) basically right underneath her. Not to mention her hanging out for some time in a meadow just outside of the underworld gates.

So we have Persephone (or Kore if you want to be picky), spending an extended amount of time around a portal, and then having a portal almost on top of her, before being taken into the underworld. Where she then consumes the food of the underworld and has to return there for part of the year every year, as she’d been partially made an underworld goddess.

Granting her all the upsides and downsides being an underworld goddess had, but allowing her to continue to remain a living goddess as well, able to walk the living plane without consequence. Along with her getting a new name befitting of her status as an underworld goddess.

I don’t know about you but that sounds pretty similar to what happens to Danny (at least as far as fanon is concerned).

The boy lives his entire life on a thin spot, eats ecto contaminated food for most of his life, and then has a ghost portal open directly on top of him. Making him part ghost as a consequence, with all the ups and downsides that entails.

Not to mention: Blood Blossoms.

You can’t tell me those things weren’t something Demeter cooked up trying to keep Hades away from her daughter.

But also she 100% was the Ghost King. Sure, she went by Queen while her husband went by King. But Persephone was the Ghost King of her time, even if Hades was a ghost before her, and is the reason she became half ghost. That’s why there’s no Hades in Mycenaean mythology, but Persephone is still around as an underworld goddess and ruler of the underworld.

Persephone was The Living Queen of the Underworld.

#Danny Phantom #danny phantom au #Persephone as a half-ghost let's go!#I just love the idea of Danny trying to figure out his identity as a half ghost and learning that he's part of an entire history and culture #Vlad didn't really look into past instaces of Half-ghosts #primarily because he assumed they couldn't happen via natural portals #but also because he's a megalomaniac uninterested in things that won't give him more power #The Living Queen of the Underworld AU

Wait a second if people can just take ships to and from Asgard from other places in space than really it was only an inconvenience to lose the rainbow and not devastating loss

Thor could have totally visited Jane

I like to pretend there's a HUGE distance between the realms so it's really really inconveniencing -- the reason the Dark Elves manage it in their timespan is their technology is far better than Asgards, despite being in stasis for millennia

#I don't like that Ragnarok had a portal really close between Asgard and Sakaar but like if i HAVE to accept it I just assume there's a #timeskip and it just wasn't shown onscreen #because like. if Thor wasn't actually stuck on Asgard it's like oh okay he's literally just there bc of other reasons #probably Odin and Loki tbh #responsibility and mourning #i suppose

What if Danny's and Vlad's accidents were reversed?

In college, Jack, Maddie, and Vlad were going big. They wanted a portal large enough to enter.

After that went wrong, Jack and Maddie decided it might be best to start small instead.

I just wanted to see Danny and Vlad as though they'd had each other's accidents—Danny with slightly lighter hair and ecto-acne, Vlad with... uh... slightly darker hair. (And maybe also do a little pondering about how Danny copes with his accident being plain on his face. Especially with how he'd already been bullied in school. And, would he be quarantined in a hospital for a year or two until the acne goes into remission? That would be tough. I'd always figured Vlad's accident happened just before graduation, since he must've graduated with Jack and Maddie to be part of their class reunion. But Danny's only a little way into his first year of high school.)

However... their appearances switching would also mean a lot of other things switching. Like... exactly how their accidents took place.

Vlad would've of course been inside the turned-off portal as he said it wasn't going to work, and it would have come on with him inside it. Maybe Jack would've plugged it in right after Vlad said it wouldn't work (and, well, with Vlad being involved with the project, he might've turned the on button on ahead of time or else had edited the schematics to not have a button there at all).

Twenty years later, Danny would have been in the basement with his friends, and peeked through the porthole portal. He's just looking around, telling his friends about his parents' project, glancing at it to see if he sees anything interesting. Maybe he had absently set his hand on its base as he leaned over to look through it, and that base happened to have an on button on it. And maybe Danny's parents hadn't tried turning it on earlier; hadn't walked away in disappointment. Maybe they've finished it, but they're waiting for a more special time to do a ceremonial 'turning it on' thing. Like when the whole family is together later in the day, rather than turning it on while the kids are at school and unable to witness the occasion. But Danny comes home with his friends, doesn't see his parents around, and assumes the porthole portal is still unfinished. He doesn't know it's plugged in and ready to turn on. So he ends up with a blast of contaminated ectoplasm to the face.

I've switched the 'on' method for the two portals so that Vlad's accident would have still been Jack's fault, and Danny's accident would still be his own accident. It would make sense, though. Maybe the on button had been Maddie's or Jack's idea, while the remote control had been Vlad's idea.

...Here's the part that would change everything, however... (Sigh, so much for a simple switch)

If the 1981 accident happened the way Danny's original accident had... then Vlad would've stumbled out of the portal in ghost form. Right in front of Jack and Maddie. (Originally, Vlad's hair had lightened and his eyes glowed icy blue, but the ghostliness seemed concentrated only to his face. With the portal shocking his whole body, everything's going to invert and he'll be noticeably a ghost.)

No matter how they react, it's going to change what happens twenty years later. They would be checking to see if Danny had become a halfa. They would know halfas are possible. They would instantly jump to that possibility when Danny ends up with physical effects from the porthole portal. Whether they'd stayed close friends with Vlad and became his version of Sam and Tucker, or whether they'd turned against him for being half ghost.

...I mean, unless you think they would see ghost-form!Vlad leaving the portal and assume this horrible ghost just so happened to exit the portal right after Vlad had disappeared into it... Then the timeline might remain the same...

---

In which case. If it's so hard to tell ghost-half and human-half are the same person... It would be pretty funny if, when Danny had accidentally pushed the on button in his original accident... some random ghost had coincidentally walked out of the portal, and Sam and Tucker just assumed it was Danny. Like... Tucker: (Gasp!) "The portal turned Danny into a ghost!" Ghost!Danny(?): "Hello, dearies. Would you like a piece of cherry pie?" Sam: (taking the ghost's arm) "Come on, Danny, you need to hide! Your parents could show up any minute!"

And decided that sounded good.#I'd adjusted the picture(s) in Photoshop to match how they look in-person. ...Except they probably look different on different screens.#Oh. I didn't think to mention that I'm assuming the first portal still wouldn't work out. Not sure what would go wrong though.#Maybe they'd just shut it off immediately after the accident and never turned it back on.#Maybe the school had shut them down because of the accident and deemed it a complete failure and safety hazard. Everything confiscated.#Would give more reason for them to try a smaller (non-enterable) version.
