What if mushrooms??

#we cool beans art show #doodles #hlvrai #hlvrai benrey #gordon hlvrai #creepy tag #body horror #hlvrai au #eye contact #infection au #mushroom infection #dont really have a story i was just inspired to draw the horrors #havent drawn horror art in a good bit so this was a good excuse too lol #i have another like. actual hlvrai horror au that i made like. half a year ago #but it involves a looot more body horror. so like. idk. #but anyways for this mushroom infection all i have is #mushroom spores that infect people who inhale too much of it #like pistacios au its a xen desease that causes violence and confusion but different #because Benrey is from xen the spores are already designed to take over his body and control him. #something that wiped out Benreys race #but because humans are not native to xen they only become spore carriers #the worst for humans is confusion. exaustion #and slow death #but the mushrooms cant control them like it can organizsmz from xen #so. thinking an ailen infected with spores shows up in Black Mesa. Benrey is wary of the creature seeing the spores #science team want a closer look dispite Benreys panic. #gordon had inhaled spores and was infected. another parallel to pistacios au #Gordon grows extra exausted only to start growing mushrooms. later getting Benrey infected #Benrey doesnt explain the horrors until its too late for him #Black mesa becomes hellish mushroom jungle and Benreys hunting the team for sport. all the while everyones dying anyways

I have had Mirara stuck in my head since hearing her description in the latest Worlds Beyond Number episode, and I finally got a chance to sit down and try and figure out what the Witch of the Waning Moon looks like. For some reason I imagine something between the Snow Queen and an Erte illustration.

#wbn #worlds beyond number #wbn fanart #mirara #the witch of the waning moon #character design #wip #sketches #twtwatwo #the wizard the witch and the wild one #its so fun seeing other peoples designs for her #like we all take different perspectives on the same description to make the same cool creepy lady

[starry-bi-sky]

Ugh im writing this on mobile but i’ve been thinking about it nonstop for an hour and I’m just- mmmmm thinking about Clone Danny and his wardrobe choice as Phantom. Cuz like, he doesn’t have any powers, right? He has no built-in secret identity and suit that he can change into in a flash of blinding circular light. If a ghost shows up he’s just got what he’s got on, and whatever he has in his bag.

And I’m just. I have a lot of thoughts about him and his canon self, thoughts that i dont think i can all fit on my phone and im. Thinking about the dichotomy between him and his canon counterpart. From an in-universe perspective, the halfa Danny Phantom looks remarkably human-like. Especially compared to the ghosts he fights, all of whom are unnatural colors, shapes, and sizes. From flaming hair to glowing eyes and pointed claws, there’s nothing about them that doesn’t scream “ghost!” “Inhuman!” “Unnatural!”

And then you look at Danny Phantom, the ghost boy fighting them. And he just… looks like a glowing human boy. The only unnatural thing about him is his white hair and green eyes - and green eyes is a natural human color. Maybe not the shade it’s in, but it occurs in human genetics. He’s about as close to human as he can get.

Think about that from an in-universe perspective, and then think about it with the idea that ghosts take pride in their ‘ghostly’ look. They pride themselves on looking scary; unnatural; inhuman. It’s a showcase of being unique, of their own individuality, of their interests and wants. Looking ‘scary’ is part of ghost culture, and if not scary, then unique and ‘inhuman’. They don’t want to fit in, they want to stand out.

And you look at Danny Phantom, as his canon self without any of the fanon customizations, and he’s none of that. He’s about as human-looking as a ghost can get. He’s got human-like skin, hell he’s even tanner than he is as a human! His hair is normal, his eyes are green but normal, his hands? Soft and round, not a claw in sight, and his teeth are blunt and ears are round.

His suit is all black, it doesn’t even tell you anything about him other than he probably died in a lab accident, and he looks like he’s straight out of a b-rate comic book. There’s no story to tell about him, he’s a book with the pages all blacked out in ink.

His name, if you take it as him only calling himself “Phantom” isn’t even all that unique. It’s a generic ghost term that you can find by googling ‘ghost’ and looking at its synonyms.

And then look at his behavior: yeah he fights ghosts, and fighting is all about ghost behavior. Its one of their social activities- but its clear from Phantom that he’s not being social. He’s being aggressive, he’s doing it for the sake of the living (which while fair, doesn’t make him look good in the context of everything else). Then he comes into the ghost zone, he doesn’t do much to integrate himself into the culture, and yeah he makes allies but it still doesn’t feel enough. He’s not participating in anything, he’s alienating himself.

All in all, Phantom looks like a ghost trying to pretend he’s human, that he’s still alive. And for a ghost culture that prides itself on not being alive? It’s insulting.

And then let’s circle back around to that human thing, but from a different angle. Probably one that’s more mindset than outside looking in. But Danny’s alienated by the rest of the town for ages despite helping them. And while him looking human likely has to do with his own mindset of viewing himself as “living, but with ghost powers” and thus reflects back as a ghost, it also makes it look like he’s trying to fit in with the humans.

“I am not a ghost” he says, with his human skin and blunt teeth. “I am human like you, see? See? I look like you.”

He’s making himself look approachable, friendly. ‘You can trust me, I’m not a ghost. I’m not like them. I’m not scary. I look just like you. I’m different.’ He looks about as harmless as a human child could be. He’s trying to be relatable. And in turn he’s giving his fellow ghosts a cold shoulder - i’m not like you, i’m better. I’m different. I’m not ghost. I may be dead, but I’m no ghost.

Danny is trying to tie his ghost self in with the living as much as possible - he wants them to think he’s almost human. The same way he wants to think that himself. He’s distancing himself from his ghost half and the ghostly qualities the others have. Whether intentional or not, he’s doing it.

He shows his face and goes ‘see? See? I’m just like you.’

And then lets look at clone Danny, mister not-a-halfa. Who doesn’t have his canon offensive capabilities, who only has his ghost sense and the ability to hit ghosts without gear, his scary eyes and pointed ears, and the ability to see weaker ghosts not visible to the mortal eye.

He has no ghost form, no powers. And yet the first time he goes out as Phantom, he wears a mask that looks like a skull. Instead of distancing himself from ghosts, he’s distancing himself from humans. And at first it stems from the need to be unrecognizable, the last thing he wants is for his parents to find out that he’s ghost hunting. To do that, he needs to hide his face. That’s the first step.

The next step is to act in such a way that people couldn’t possibly tie him back to Danny Fenton. He’s not distancing himself from ghosts, he’s distancing himself from humans. To do that, he acts inhuman. He wears his mask and wears baggy, shapeless clothes - his hoodie and his pants - and he learns how to act unsettling. His eyes glow green, unnatural and shining through his sunken-in, skull-like mask. But it’s not enough on its own. He must do more.

He wants to be the thing someone sees at night and turns the other way. See me and run, he says, crouched on all fours and crawling across a beam like a monster you see in a movie. Twisting his body in unnatural, fluid ways, like he’s not quite sure how having only four limbs work.

Run. He says, dead green eyes glowing through his mask, piercing through black night from the rooftop. I am wild thing. Come no closer, look no closer. I am not like you. I am not your friend. I bite. Run.

You cannot see my face. This is my face, I am not alive. I am not like you. I am an animal about to pounce.

He doesn’t want people to think he’s human, he doesn’t want them to think he’s anywhere close to it. Anything to prevent his parents from figuring out its him.

And the thing is, he doesn’t have to. He doesn’t have to appear ghost-like or inhuman to keep his identity safe, wearing a mask and wearing unidentifiable clothes is enough. But he’s choosing to act ghost-like; unsettling; scary.

And in doing so, he unintentionally participates in ghost culture. And while his clothes are not anything unique, or outstanding, his mask is. His clothes don’t tell anything about him, but that’s okay.

Imagine meeting this boy from a ghost perspective. This annoying, fleshy human boy who jumps into fights to stop you and catch you. You’ve heard stories of human ghost hunters, you know there are hunters on the other side. You have heard the horror stories, you have seen the scars.

And then this boy catches you. This human, fleshy boy who yells quips at you, who puns and insults you, who wears an unsettling mask and acts ghosty. He catches you, and you think you will be the next one on the chopping board.

And then you end up in the ghost zone, untouched. Unharmed. And you tell someone about it. You were caught and released by a human child who feels touched by death. And then you hear that the ones who’d been caught were freed by a fleshy human boy who was touched by death, and a boy who they call “Phantom”.

And, isn’t that the name of the child you fought?

And he talks to you, but then he’s in the daytime. There are living around. He doesn’t speak to them - he ignores them outright. He keeps his distance, he stays away. If he talks, it’s with his hands. They will not hear his voice.

I may be alive but I am no human.

And its just — ????? So good to think about. I’ll reblog later with more thoughts when I have my laptop, but god i just needed to get that out there.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dpxdc crossover #dpdc #clone^2 #danny fenton is not the ghost king #danny fenton is a clone #like i wasnt thinking much about it when i made danny have no powers. like that was purely just for fun #and for a fun little parallel between him and bruce. and i thought the mask was cool #and now here we are doing a- what?? somewhat analysis of his outfit as phantom? #and his choice to appear as unhuman as possible?? as ghostly as possible??? #its just so good. i love creepy phantom. he’s the thing you see crouched in the corner of the room #from the corner of your eye. you see him. and you jump but hes not there when you look #he’s the creature you see lurking in the alleyway. crouched like an animal about to jump. #‘come no closer. look no closer. i am not like you. i may be alive but i am no human’ #i have teeth. and i will wrap them sround your throat and *pull*

i've literally seen NOBODY talking about this but i think this guy getting beat up could be Benrey... but dam!!! he looks very different!!! so i tried to combine his old look with his potential new look and... this is what I got (creepy man... but cool...)

BONUS coloured version I didn't like much and also a HLVRAI-era benny below

Summarized ID: a drawing of benrey looking forward smirking. he's missing a tooth, has a sparse mustache, his left eye is lighter/white and there is a scar on his left eyebrow. He has a dark shadow over his eyes.

FULL ID UNDER CUT

Image One: On the left are three reference images. The top one is of the man who was being beaten up by Combine in the HL2VRAI trailer. He is laying on the ground, smirking, with a tooth missing, a black eye, and a scar on his eyebrow. He has tan skin and a buzzcut, a wide nose, and possibly heterochromia. Could also be the lighting. The image below that is the stock image of the Barney Half Life One model. The third image is of Benrey from HLVRAI, looking at the viewer head on. He has high cheekbones, smile lines, shadowy eyes and a slim face. Above him in blue text reads: "you're not supposed to be here."

The drawing next to the reference images is of Benrey, but trying to combine the reference images. The drawing was made with a pencil-like brush and is uncoloured. He is looking forward smirking. he's missing a tooth on his left side, has a sparse mustache, his left eye is lighter/white and there is a scar on his left eyebrow. He has a dark shadow over his eyes that extends from his slightly receding hairline. His hair is black. He wears a collared shirt.

The first bonus image is the same image as the first drawing but now coloured. Benrey has tan skin, lit from the right side, and is wearing a blue shirt. The shadows are more purple in tone. The second bonus image is him but looking like he did in HLVRAI: clean shaven, wearing a tie, and his helmet. No scar, no heterochromia, and no missing tooth.

END ID

#hlvrai #hl2vrai #i think it could be him bc the trailer focused on him for a moment also he has that cheeky mfing grin which is so benrey moment #i REALLY like the new design iff this is him... #looks like someone i would not want to run into... scary and creepy but very cool #GOTTA have the shadow over his eyes ok its law #the scar? the missing tooth? the little mustache and also the heterochromia (?) #veryyyy cool #scopophobia #benrey #op art #benry #hlvrai benrey #hlvrai benry

currently thinking about this one godawful take i saw about a year ago in the clashcord server where someone said- no, someone DEMANDED that you cannot ship cogs because they are evil and corporate.

the implication that shipping characters who are morally bad is problematic. the implication that because characters are morally bad, that they are automatically bad for EACH OTHER. the implication that characters who are morally bad cannot have a healthy relationship, even with another character who is morally bad and shares similar bad morals, which would likely make their bond stronger so what even is that load of dirty barnacles.

the FURTHER implication that every cog is flat evil with no nuance or complexity, completely erasing the depth of their characters. it just keeps going.

this is truly one of the takes of all time. this has LAYERS. several bad takes wrapped in one single sentence. this person publicly DEMANDED this in a busy chat in a big server. they thought they were cooking up a full coarse meal with this one. the confidence in such an abhorrent take is hilarious and it's stuck with me to this day. i still wish i could see their reaction when firesetter was officially canonized, and clearly treated as a ship that is, in fact, okay and encouraged to ship.

hell, lets use firesetter as an example:

Flint commits arson on a regular basis towards toons, the citizens of this town the company he works for is invading and colonizing. They seek confidence and pride through doing this as its the only place their arson is encouraged by the people they work for.

Graham is overlyconfident to the point of tearing others down for the sake of his own pride. Wants to take over the whole company one day just to fuel his ego, be on top, be the best, be praised by people that he sees as below him.

Meanwhile, these two are in a happy relationship in which Graham encourages Flint not to let people walk all over them while Flint is there for Graham in his more vulnerable moments (meeting of two minds when he was flipping out over the job). They are canon, encouraged to be shipped, have several references in the game and lore, and wouldn't you know it, their plushies are being released together with pride flags attached in like a week.

They're both shitty people and yet they love and support each other.

Make no mistake, this is not me complaining or being angry over this take. I was angry at the time it was freshly shat out of this person's mind, but nowadays it gives me a hearty chuckle. A guffaw even. A kneeslap perhaps. Getting angry gets tiring. Sometimes you have to laugh at it.

#toontown #toontown corporate clash #ttcc #i understand being annoyed when someone ships to the point they ERASE a characters flaws or bad morals. that is an understandable complaint #but that is not what this take was saying #i . i guess ill tag firesetter? #firesetter #I NEED TO CLARIFY TO MAKE SURE NO CREEPS FIND THIS POST AND THINK ITS A SAFE SPOT FOR THEM. #no proshitters this is not a place for you go away. #this is not me saying you can enjoy genuinely unhealthy and creepy ships. #this is me saying that characters who are bad people can still have a HEALTHY relationship #ok cool #edit: i feel like this post comes off as rlly aggressive and its BOTHERING ME #this is genuinely me having lighthearted fun LMAO #this is actually one of the few posts ive made abt bad takes #where im not like. upset #or bothered by it #idk felt the need to add this. i hate coming off aggressive when its not my intention #i just talk a lot

[naffeclipse]

I had a dream (I don't usually dream but if I do they're usually nightmares—anyways) about Cassie running around a Spirit Halloween store being chased by the Mimic and also getting jump scared by other props/animatronics

#okay hear me out... spirit halloween au #the dca is repackaged as a spooky Halloween prop/animatronic that you buy because you love Halloween decor #also this grinning jester robot is so creepy and would look so cool in your front yard #but when you take the dca home and open it up... the animatronic starts acting funny #funny as in strange #and a little scary #and might not be what you thought at all #oops #i know its august but halloween lives forever in my heart #naff nuh huh

found a VHS tape from 2004 in the art department at my college, I give it a 50/50 its either blank or im about to become a horror webseries protagonist

#jokes jokes if theres anything on it its probably someones public speaking work or film homework #theres like. lockers for the art students to store supplies in and they are NOT cleaned often!!!! #one of the new teachers (my computer art teacher) was looking through the blank ones and found that one #and just let us have some of the stuff from it bc. obviously nobody else is using it lmao #genuinly the stuff that was in there is as old as i am #anyways im actually pretty sure its blank but itd be cool if it wasnt #shut up virgil #man i love that creepy ass building theres just so much random shit in there #shout out to the mannequin we got attached to. he continues to scare the new students and also teachers who go through the gallery closet

[werewolf-transgenderism]

I really hate when people frame weird little animals as something scary rather than as something cool, like why don't you instead become enraptured with the biodiversity of the world! we are alive at the same time as all of these weird and wonderful creatures!! embrace the joy of seeing all of the bizarre and fascinating things that nature creates!!

#brought to you by me trying to watch youtube videos about glass frogs my favorite type of frog #and like every video is like *scary music* 'you can see this frog's BONES and BLOOD and HEARTBEAT through its skin' #and they only show clips of the frogs seen from beneath #instead of being like 'whoa look at this cool transparent frog that looks like a gummy and shows us up close how frogs work!' #like if you present a creature as something scary or creepy people will see it as scary or creepy! why do that when you could simply not! #like look at public opinion of sharks! #anyway

[sexiestwerewolf]

idk if it's intentional but one thing I noticed is it looks like arlecchino is staring at you at certain angles !!

#genshin arlecchino #arlecchino #genshin #genshin impact #seriosuly its so cool though it gives off slightly creepy vibes #like maybe the design was intended to do that or it was a happy accident but either way I LOVE HER

[blacephalo]

was i the only one that did this?

ok so i went sorta blind to side order. i saw some trailers but that was it, i played it in day 1 anyway so it wasn't a huge issue. like the only things i knew were acht is a character, this is a roguelite, there are diff weapons and u get upgrades with color chips

then i got pinging marciale for the first time. i was trying to figure out how to beat this thing then it started charging to roll over me. my first instinct was to paint the ground like it was octowhirl...i haven't even played the first game?? i don't think it's hard to associate with those two when they're both ball creatures who try to roll over the player LMAO. but please i can't be the only one who tried to ink the ground so it got stuck on it.

#side order #pinging marciale #splatoon 3 #splatoon side order #imma be fr this boss fight slaps #the boss itself has that creepy but silly vibe #and while bosses move around and attack you #this one doesn't move much aside from occasional rolling #its either the player or a battering lento that pushes it around #v cool fight ngl #im sad that ppl hate it because it can take longer #while i think parallel canon is worse for speedruns

[witchofthesouls]

Have you heard of a game called Home Safety Hotline?

It's a Analog Horror style game where you play as a receptionist helping people with household problems that lean from mundane to eldritch shit. Home Safety Hotline delves greatly in the darker yet whimsical world of the fae, subtly weaving in terror and some comedy. I thought this would peek your interest. 🙂

Okay, I had to go look it up and woah !!

Thank you, anon!

got visually spoiled on the literally last thing i was still actively missing and working towards in totk but i dont think im gonna like it anyway ...

if it is what i think it is, and what it looks like to be, its just yet another nail in the coffin (or however you say that) as to why the lore sucks in this game even tho it had such good setup and so much potential

#ganondoodles talks #totk spoilers #tagging it as such bc im gonna say my current thoguhts about it here #again its just visually and i havent seen the text to it yet #so please dont say anythign about it #but #im 100% certain its the reward for all shrines which i dont have yet #and first of all it looks dumb as shit #and second of all its supposed to be the ancient hero in the tapestry isnt it #the zonau got their grimy hands on that too dont they #the thing that was such a cool mystery all this time got solved just like that isnt it #nintendo saw us theorizing about gan being the ancient hero and thought oh gods now we cant give him nuance quickly invent some zonau excus #however that makes sense since they were supposedly long gone by the time the first calamity happened #which still happened even with the time fuckery going on since the tapestry still exists and the last guardian remains #tho it doesnt look quite like a zonau but more like some creepy ass unholy mix of a lizard and gerudo #im gonna wait with my final judgement since i havent read the text yet #but it for sure isnt motivating me more to get all the last 50 or so shrines #i regret finishing the underground first so much man #all you get is a you did it sticker #literally #should have done the shrines first so at least i couldnt get spoiled on that still #im guessing its funney reference or whatever #some mysteries are better left unsolved #didnt want to rush and get all shrines in a hurry and isntead explore it on my own since the exploring part and world is what i love #aside from the music #but i guess i gotta do that now #actual shrine hutning stream incoming i guess #:/
