You know what? I’m weak willed, so if one (1) singular person tells me to watch it I will & I’ll even liveblog / message my thoughts the whole time because why not
When the depression gets so bad you consider watching Voltron for the first time just to feel something

Oh and here’s a pretty good summery of this chapter:
oh bestie you have come to the right place
alright yall buckle up this is going to be a long ass post and the whole thing is going to be written on my phone so if you see typos no you fucking didnt✨
Let's get into the TEDTalk >:)
cores:
Cores are essentially energized balls of ectoplasm that are in the middle of the ghost's physical form (often the center of the chest but I have seen a few fics where they are in the head) cores have a lot of different head canons and essentially can act as batteries, centers of being, sources of power (danny is often said to have an ice core bc ice powers) and/or even a kind of third eye. sometimes also referred to as a piece of self or a soul. lots of people write then as the condensed point of the ghost's entire existence but not everyone thinks that way. cores are often a big plot point when it comes to the horror fics like dissection bc evil scientists (whether they are the Guys In White or sometimes Danny's parents) finding the center of a ghosts being is usually bad news. some people headcanon cores to be really personal and touching it is a huge problem and others ignore it. its kinda subjective.
obsessions:
okay so obsessions are usually tied up with cores in some way or another but not always. obsessions are kinda tricky to define bc people have a lot of different things they think (and actually can get pretty territorial over their particual headcanon) some people think of it as a base point that drives a ghost into existence; a sort of unfinished business. sometimes its an emotion that the ghost felt so powerfully upon death that it gave the ectoplasm the sentience it create a ghost and/or an after image of a person. sometimes its a huge deal in fics and becomes literally an OBSESSION and it can tear the ghost apart if they dont give into it (this is kind of the most extreme version of obsession hcs but some people are really into it bc it opens up a lot of horror aspects, specifically dark!danny) regardless if the obsession is actually obsessive, unfinished business, or just something that is an emotion the ghost feels particularly strongly, most people agree that danny's obsession is something along the lines of protection (protecting his town, his friends, his sister, and sometimes other ghost from vlad or the GIW)
haunts:
okay haunts are another thing that the fandom willed into existence. often times they are tied together w the ideas of cores and obsessions (only ghosts w strong cores have definable obsessions and only ghosts w strong obsessions can have haunts etc). i personally havent delved very far into the whole haunt thing but people get really into building haunts in the ghost zone and world building like ghosts cities and stuff. Ghost Kings and Gotham Bats by BlueGhostCardinal on ao3 talks a lot about ghost cities and politics and if you're into checking more stuff out about the GZ and all the stuff people put into it then just start reading😅
danny (in general):
the fandom, in general, loves to make danny suffer (its actually kinda funny). there are a lot of headcanons people have about him and honestly its too much to even talk about in depth in one post. i could probably write a doctoral thesis on danny lmao. basically, some ppl have danny just how he is in the show, sometimes he's more OP (bc let's face it even just in the show he is a pretty hardcore character) sometimes danny is a full ghost possessing his own corpse, sometimes he has to reanimate his body everytime he changes, etc etc. a big thing in the fandom is the portal and danny's death. it can get pretty graphic and everyone kind of has their own opinions about danny and his relationship w his death and by extension the portal (the thing that killed him). we just love to torture danny so you will see a lot of Jack and Maddie's A+ Parenting fics and all sorts of betrayal things. dissection and vivisection is also a really popular trope in the fandom (which honestly says a lot). there is also the whole thing with Danny being the ghost king which really can go either way (i personally am a major sucker for ghost king danny bc i feel like the pressure of that opens it up to a lot of good angst and responsibilities not to mention i think it really accentuates the whole idea that danny is a HALFA, the perfect split and divide between life and death)
the bad guys:
the bad guys in danny phantom also get a hell of a lot of attention. some people like it when dannys show villains become his allies against bigger threats (ive seen a lot of johnny 13 and kitty adopting danny fics lately so thats trending ig) and sometimes people keep really amp up his villains and make them scary, terrifying really (and people also do everything in between). Vlad in particular is a bad guy that people have different opinions on. some people want vlad to be like danny's father figure. some make vlad absolutely diabolical and the source of all of danny's pain. some people (me) like to just make him absolutely batshit insane for mostly comedic purposes. it all depends.
im open to expand on any specific questions you have and anyone pls add on in the notes. there is so much i know i didnt cover but i figure this is kinda like a starter pack.
Y’know what, can I just ask the Danny Phantom fans what’s going on? The last time I really got involved in the fandom I was still pretty little and just enjoyed random fics about Danny and Sam, and skirting around weird material on Deviantart lmao.
Now I’m trying to get involved again there’s so much that’s happened. What’s going on with all this stuff about Obsessions, and Cores, and haunts, and ESPECIALLY ghost children? Adoption of ghost children by adult ghosts?
Danny essentially being the world’s strongest fuckin infant in the world and that’s why people keep trying to kill him?
And if any of you have ORIGINS for this shit I’d love to hear it. I am down for either a crash course or an entire college multi-part lecture to figure out what the fuck is going on here
Dcxdp Prompt! Should I start numbering these?
Sam always loved dabbling in the occult, and when she learned that magic was still alive and thriving through the Infinite Realms, she took the opportunity and visited Ghost Writer’s library.
It only took so long before she was practicing old magic, pulling directly from the realms—with it’s allowance, of course—and teaching the boys as well.
Tucker loved the idea of magic, and was determined to combine it with his technological creations.
Danny was less interested in the power of it, he technically had that already, but understanding the summoning aspect of it? Yes please.
So they practiced, and after a year or two, we’re decent with it too!.

The Justice League were dealing with a string of magic related murders that they couldn’t figure out.
They’d called in Justice League Dark to help, but they didn’t have any experience with whatever type of magic being used.
That’s what led them here, reluctantly relying on John Constantine’s contacts for help.
No one expected three teenagers to appear out of a portal after he called.
is he trying to impress eli 👀 👀 if subconsciously
a rival most vial: another core ambrose bit
Wow, Ambrose is just…really being Ambrose in this chapter.
(248 words, no tw/cws)
The boys have almost reached the end of their first brainstorm session, and Ambrose is Full of Lies.
Eli flipped the page, then gave a whistle. “You sure?” he asked. “That stuff’s impossible to work with. I saw a grad student ruin five hundred talons’ worth of it just by breathing on it wrong.”
Ambrose stiffened. This time, Eli was actually right. Esther was difficult to work with, even for a master. And adapting it for this potion would take hours of experimentation—hours he didn’t have between store hours, brewing inventory, moss exploration with Dawn…
But he wasn’t about to admit any of that to Eli.
“Once I run a few tests, it will be quite easy,” he said. Eli regarded the list one last time, then sighed and handed it back.
“All right,” he said. “I can get the illusion component done in a few weeks. How much time do you think you’ll need for the levitation?”
Truthfully? About six months.
“A month,” Ambrose said. Eli’s eyebrows shot up.
“You can’t be serious.”
“I’m very serious.”
Eli’s gaze turned stony. “If you’re trying to tank this commission—“
“Absolutely not!”
“Because that’s five thousand on the line—“
“I know how much it is!” Ambrose snapped. “Now, if the timeline is settled, I believe we’re done for the day.”
But Eli stubbornly held his gaze. “If you need help with the potion, you’ll ask for it, right?”
Oh, absolutely not. But what was one more lie between rivals?
“Yes.” Ambrose set his notebook down with more force than was necessary. “Now have a good night, Elias.”
We’ve done it, folks, we’ve really hit Peak Ambrose Beake.
(haaaa, peak ambrose beake)
(peak beake)
what could go wrong - red vox stimboard
done with all their albums now time for eps and solo albums :3
[for @themosthatedbeingg - because it's fight day! Apparently! Please tell Lucifer I am so sorry for my muse's behavior xD ]

This was a bad idea. This was a bad idea and Blitz knew it. It was a terrible idea--but fuck it, it was the only idea. The imp had been pacing for hours before he actually issued his challenge to Lucifer, and now that that emperor of Hell had accepted? There was no turning back. Not that Blitz would have turned back even if he could--this fight was a long time coming.
He quickly pulled on what was clearly the only attire appropriate for fighting Lucifer Morningstar himself: leather pants, a leather jacket, weapons all over the damned place... and a pin on his lapel with an image of a little rubber ducky crying.
Yeah.
This was going to be fine.
He was gonna die, but it was going to be worth it. Blitz sent a few texts to the people he loved most, trying to say goodbye without actually saying goodbye, grabbed the few angelic-steel knives he had, and hurried off to the parking lot of doom where he and Lucifer were going to meet.
The second he saw Lucifer, two things happened: Blitz immediately wanted to protect him, to keep this man safe from all harm, to help comfort away his grief, to ease away whatever fears his trauma left him with... and he started growling. The spines between the imp's shoulders rose, and his tail started swishing in sharp, angry esses.
"I wasn't sure you'd actually have the balls to show up," he snapped, a blessed dagger in each hand now. "And you know what? It's time to answer for your fucking creations. You made us to serve the Sinners, created this whole fucking class of imps to look down on and laugh at, and you abandoned us. And I'm tired of it. Imps deserve more. If we were made in your image, and let's be fucking for realsies here, we all know we were--why the fuck did you leave us to become the forgotten punchlines, janitors, and jokes of Hell?" He was literally shaking, he was so angry--all the more so because Blitz couldn't help loving Lucifer. He didn't want to, but who could help it? One look in those eyes, eyes of an angel, a being of pure light and creation, eyes that had lost everything, and who could fail to love him? But for all the pain Blitz had gone through, all the abuse Fizz had suffered, all the mockery and belittling and misuse every imp had to put up with at the hands of all of Hell's more powerful denizens--
This was a long time coming.
Blitz knew he wasn't going to last long. He was going to die today, but fuck it, he was going to die for a good reason. Standing up. Demanding answers.
He didn't attack yet, wanting to give the beautiful royal the chance to answer--but fuck, the imp was trembling with the need to fight him, to start and end this, here and now.
Quick! The first OC you think of is dropped in the world of the last movie/show you watched. How are they faring?
Had this wierd dream, with Bruce and Selina and suddenly it turned into a weird commercial for merch makeup. I just had to draw it…
