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?

so true and real that multishipping is simply the best way to go about shipping in a fandom because why fight about ships when you can do whatever you want and pair a character with multiple other characters just to see what happens

Gonna give Danny a fic where nothing goes wrong and he gets a good nights sleep 😊

Press “h” to doubt

Once upon a time in a land far far away, there was a Danny Fenton. He lived with his two parents, Jack and Maddie Fenton, who loved him very much Thank You.

“Wow I’m so happy my life is normal,” said Danny.

Jack puffed from his pipe and adjusted his top hat. He had just gotten home from a day at the business doing office minutes. “Yes, it is very normal indeed.”

“And I am so proud of you,” Maddie agreed, beaming down at her son. “I’m so proud that you told us you are a half ghost right away. I’m so glad that we work normal jobs—your father at the business and me at the hospital where I heal people—so we can adequately love and support you through this adjustment.”

“I don’t know what other jobs you would work at besides business and hospital (healing), but thank you, parental units.” Danny hugged his parents. “I feel so safe with you both.”

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

“Who could it be?” Maddie brushed her hands on her apron and opened the door to see a man in a black suit.

“Hello, it is the federal bureau of governmet,” the man said, flashing his official looking badge. “We have just caught wind that your son is a half ghost. Because the federal bureau of governmet the Ghost Investing Welfare cares so much about the wellbeing of ghosts, we have decided to give your son a lifetime of free healthcare. This includes dental and eye. He also may be eligible for a yearly bonus.”

“Wow this is so unexpected and wonderful,” Danny said. A single tear escaped his eye.

“Yes well we don’t want to bother you. I smell a lovely casserole in the oven. This reminds me of my own wife and child whom I love very much.” The man tipped his fedora at DAnny. “Please drop by on Monday to fill out the paperwork. I bid you adieu.”

After the federal bureau governmet agent gently shut the door, Danny couldn’t help but sigh as his blue orbs glowed. “Wow, today is wonderful. Thank you, Mother and Father. I surely will sleep well tonight.”

And sure enough, Danny slept more sound than he ever had before.

The end :)

“Is that what you wanted to hear?”

Danny’s smile was a rictus grin. It did not reach his bruised, sunken eyes.

ravenatural-art:

I would like to share with you all glockwork, a joke that came about in the dark ages server and that I can’t believe I forgot to share here

I’m doing Invisobang this year and Glockwork came up and I uuuuhhhh well I wrote something. We love Glockwork.

Clockwork lowers the smoking gun, ashy gray trailing in his vision as the thunderous echoes subside. Behind Danny, there’s a groan and a wheeze before Agent K staggers, knees buckling, and he finally crumples to the ground.
“Shooting an officer’s a…federal offense…” he rasps from where he’s splayed across the linoleum, red staining his pristine white suit in a spreading bloom.
It takes a few more ticks of the clock for reality to hit Danny. “Oh my god, you shot him,” he mumbles, all in a rush. Hands grasping at hair, pulling, shaking. For one so accustomed to dealing in death, the loss of a single mortal’s life is affecting him more than Clockwork had bargained for. Danny begins to shiver as he looks between Clockwork and the Agent whose life is expiring before his very eyes. “Do you—do you know how bad this is? And I just—I let you—you shot him!” His voice pitches higher and louder with each halting word, the panic rising to the surface.
“I did,” Clockwork answers simply. He takes a cloth and cleans the barrel before holstering the gun at his hip. “It saved you, did it not?”
Danny paces the floor, looking down at Agent K, over at Clockwork, up at the cameras positioned in his cell—for there is no mistaking, despite the large size of this white-floored, glass-walled room, it is meant to be the ghost child’s prison.
Today is the day that the Guys in White kill Danny Phantom. In every timeline, no matter what choices are made, Danny Phantom dies his second, more permanent death.
Each fruitless attempt at escape had ended with the ghost boy under firmer lock and key, stricter surveillance, and more frequent interrogation. Today was to be his final attempted escape.
Lucky for him, Clockwork saw fit to intervene. He hates to admit it, but he has grown fond of the child.
“Why like this? If you were going to save me, why not do it sooner?” Danny demands, panic still edging his voice.
“There was no timeline in which you would have survived this encounter without my direct interference,” Clockwork responds evenly. “I had to do this the human way.”
“The human—” Danny lets slip a manic laugh. “What, do you think we solve all our problems by shooting guns?”
Clockwork tilts his head curiously. “Violence is frequently the answer which you humans jump to for solving your problems. Am I wrong in that assessment?”
Danny glances up at the surveillance camera behind Clockwork, wary. “That’s not the—look, can we—can we get out of here, before they blame me for this?” His eyes snag on the white-suit-turned-red and he shudders. “I’d rather not be here when they find…” He screws his eyes shut, swallows against something stuck in his throat, then levels a glare at Clockwork. “You came here to rescue me? Then take me out of here! And we’ll figure out how to fix this—this mess—later!”
Now the ghost child is giving him orders, as if he were here at the child’s beck and call. Clockwork lets a humorless smile lift the corners of his mouth. “Very well.” He raises his staff and the world freezes in time, a portal of his own making into the Ghost Zone opening up before them. “But you will soon see that some problems cannot be fixed by meddling with time.”

@maebird-melody hi hello yes I am the one who drew glockwork, this is my dp side blog and I just want to say how much I’m in love??????? like you wrote a whole ass phiclet based off my art I’m so fucking honored??????

And I absolutely adore how you wrote clockwork as deciding violence is the answer ( also the “shooting an officers a federal offense” as he’s going down is so fucking great and in character for the giw )

basically I am in awe ( of the good type ) and am so glad glockwork inspired you!!

A post-PP idea

foxyteah:

where an astronaut crew touches down on Mars and almost dies scared shitless when Vlad fucking Masters greets them and apologizes for intruding but he’s been using the Mars base to rest and also he grew some potatoes hope they didn’t mind there’s enough oxygen for everyone tho

NASA proceeds to yell at this man about WHAT THE FUCK MAN as best as they can with their shitty message system and tell him to FUCK OFF while the crew reluctantly make themselves at home (bc they can’t just run away they just came here with a really expensive space ship and they’ve got stuff to do) also they help themselves to those really delicious potatoes bc Vlad knows some recipes ok if there’s one thing he learned from his momma it’s effing delicious potato recipes with minimal ingredients

Vlad proceeds to tell NASA they can’t make him leave, NASA replies this is their territory, Vlad proceeds to give no fucks, NASA says to fuck off or they’ll make him and Vlad asks who the fuck and where is the army to make him leave where are the space cops huh, just let him have a place to sleep and breathe oxygen he’s on fucking Mars goddammit

And so NASA makes a reluctant deal to host Vlad at their Mars base as long as he doesn’t try to sneak off back to Earth in a ship, searches for some space rocks occasionally and continues making those potato recipes he refuses to reveal the secret of and everyone profits

After a year of good behavior they start bringing him books and dvds other than the ones the crew specifically took for themselves

After five years they bring him Maddie the cat plus a stack of cat food and Vlad fucking breaks down

And then it turns out Maddie had some fun times before the journey and pops out five kittens a month later (‘we just thought she was fat’ Bob the astronaut said. ‘well you’re not wrong there’ Vlad shrugs.) and Vlad goes out into the desert of Mars to scream for an hour bc the feels are too much

At some point in the future Danny’s preparing for his first space trip to Mars and his clearance is finally high enough for the upper brass to inform him of the multinational secret of why the Mars base is thriving so well but they probably wouldn’t have told him until he was already halfway to Mars except he kept asking why they were including a calf, five chickens, nine bags of cat food, a box of spices, a bush of rosemary and a sack of strawberry seeds in their ship cargo

Very Brief Guide to [tumblr], for Reddit refugees

Shit You Must Do Right Fucking Now:

  • Change your profile picture, blog header, and title to something other than the defaults. Do it right now. You will be mistaken for a bot otherwise, and blocked.
  • Go into Settings -> Dashboard, scroll down to Preferences, and turn off the options in the picture. This will get rid of most of the algorithmic stuff.
image
  • Turn off Tumblr Live. You have to snooze it once every 7 days for some stupid reason. It’s hosted through another company and will steal your data if you use it.
  • Go to your blog settings (under the little person menu) and turn off these two settings:
image
  • Turn off infinite scroll (lags the site) and turn on timestamps on posts, in the same menu as Preferences.

Basic Features of the Site:

  • Reblogs drive the entire site. If you’d upvote something on Reddit, you’d reblog it on Tumblr. You can add text, images, or tags to a reblog, but you’re not required to.
  • The dashboard is the equivalent to your Reddit feed, and contains the posts of all the people you follow, with the newest at the top
  • You can send an ask to someone, and it’ll appear in their askbox for them to answer. You can receive them too, or turn off the settings if you don’t want.
  • Tags aren’t actually used for finding stuff (search function is dogshit), but are more for categorizing. People also talk in tags. Because Tumblr is weird, you can’t use quotation marks (“) or commas in them without fucking it up
  • You can filter both tags and phrases under Account Settings; doing this will put a filter over a post that contains them, which you’ll have to click through to see the post itself. Useful for avoiding hate speech or blocking out annoying stuff
image
  • You can make polls in posts. Here’s one now.

holy shit it’s a poll

cool!

ooh clicky clicky button!! i wanna press it!! lemme press it!

you can add up to 10 options btw

See Results
  • Likes are useless. They literally do fuck-all except send a notification to the OP.

Stuff Tumblr Does That Other Sites Don’t:

  • Very old posts (I’m talking from like 2012) often circulate on this site. There’s no such thing as a post being "too old” to reblog
  • Blocking is highly encouraged; you can block someone for any reason. Even for just being annoying.
  • If you and someone else are following each other, you are mutuals. Mutuals are fucking awesome and are treasured like friends. Mutuals are a thing on other sites but Tumblr treats em differently.
  • You can screenshot someone’s tags if you like them and add them to a reblog. This is called “peer review”
  • Sometimes someone will find a blog and go through it and like/reblog a bunch of posts. This is totally fine and not “creepy” like it is seen as on other sites.
  • Tumblr jokes often rely on Continuing The Bit and a “yes, and?” attitude. Goncharov is probably the best example of this.
  • We are fucking infested with bots. They will either have totally blank profiles or be filled with porn. Block and report on sight.
  • Censorship is pretty lax here. I can say “I want to brutally stab Elon Musk to death and watch him bleed out in front of a crowd” and nobody gives a shit.

General Etiquette:

  • Don’t try to do epic clapbacks here, you’ll probably just get laughed at or blocked. If someone is bugging you or spouting bigoted bullshit, block them.
  • Reblog art!!! Artists often struggle to gain traction on here; reblogging will give them a boost.
  • Not every reblog needs a comment or tag in it
  • You can go all out with tagging your stuff to organize it, or you can just leave it all blank. Someone might ask “hey, can you tag these posts as [x]?” and you can decide if you want to do that or not. It’s generally polite to oblige, but “no” is still reasonable.
  • Avoid discourse like the plague. Filter it, block people who start it, scroll past it when you see it. Just don’t get involved in it. Ever.
  • Don’t put fandom tags or jokes on someone’s posts about serious matters or personal shit
  • You’re responsible for curating your own dashboard; if you complain about constantly seeing stuff you don’t like, that’s probably on you. Don’t be afraid to unfollow.
  • Follower count doesn’t matter much here and you don’t have to make yours known if you don’t want to.
  • Reblog, don’t repost. Reblogging keeps the credit and doesn’t “steal” engagement like Twitter retweets.
  • If someone likes something a LOT, they might reblog it like 30 times in a row. This is normal
  • Having a post blow up is actually kinda a bad thing, since it floods your notifications. There’s a sort of in-joke about how having a big post is awful and people jokingly try to stop their own posts from blowing up, often in vain.

Tips:

  • Get XKit Rewritten if you’re on desktop, it’s a really helpful extension
  • In the little drop-down menu next to the ‘Post now’ button you can either save a draft, schedule a post, or add it to your queue. The queue lets you post things in order at a certain interval, which you can change. It’s good for spreading stuff out over time.
  • You can use Shift+R to quickly reblog stuff and Shift+Q to queue!
  • Filter your notifications under Activity - you can also see some neat graphs
  • Find each other! If you want your old Reddit communities to stick together, seek out other refugees and follow them.

Have fun on [tumblr], everyone!

This is a lot to take in tbh but this is really helpful to refer to. I really appreciate all the help I’ve been getting from the Tumblr community. I love the sense of community this place has :))

You can follow specific tags is effectively the same as joining and following a submits how you find people interested in that topic. Speaking if, follow #cats amd #mycat(or #dogs and #my dog, you can thank me later.
