Thinking about Danny phantom once again. Particularly dp dc but who's counting. Anyway.
Broke: adult danny looks his age while human, but his ghost mode looks like the age he 'died.
Woke: an adult danny looks his age when he's a ghost, because he knows what age he is and its effected by his core, emotions, self view, etc because ectoplasmic projection or what have you. Ghost logic. But human danny looks 14. because that body is *dead* and the dead don't age.

ON WHY BASIL AND SUNNY, WHILE NOT BEING OPPOSITES ON A SURFACE LEVEL, ARE OPPOSITES ON A MORE DEEPER LEVEL — 🪴
SPOILERS FOR OMORI’S PLOT!
Despite acting similar, they do contrast in ways that highlight the character trait of the other.
While SUNNY doesn’t particularly desire to be loved and doesn’t suck up to others, he is cared for and wanted by others. this contrasts BASIL who desires to be just… wanted by others—to be cared for and loved. despite how much he sacrifices of himself to be wanted by others, he does not receive the same care that he gives out. SUNNY being loved without effort on his part (which, he does canonically feel guilty for, as mentioned in the OMORI fight) highlights BASIL’s struggle just to be wanted around by others. BASIL’s struggle highlights how treasured SUNNY truly is in rhe group—how important he is. This is further reinforced by how everything started to get back together only when SUNNY came out of his house.
We do also see that BASIL is more scared of concepts and events (abandonment, being alone again, interactions, etc.) than things traditionally found scary, such as spiders, heights, even deep bodies of water (despite him not knowing how to swim), even stuff like darkness. This contrasts to how SUNNY is more scared of things that can be found in reality. Spiders, heights, deep bodies of water, etc. He is scared of what is traditionally found scary—things that can usually be found in the real world.
BASIL being scared of such concepts highlights how even dreams aren’t an escape for him—how even his imagination is not a safe space for him. He has nowhere to be safe. Outaide, he has to face the judgement from the hooligans, the stares, the verbal abuse, the physical abuse. Outside, he has to face the guilt of knowing you played a part in destroying the very friend group you loved—the very friend group you took pictures of because you didn’t want to lose them. Inside, he has to face the overwhelming feeling of loneliness, the pain and hurt that comes from once again being alone, the heavy and empty feeling in your heart after being abandoned. This highlights how SUNNY is more scared of the real world—of things like spiders, heights, his friends, the consequences of his actions, the effects of it and how it ruined everyone. He feels the deep guilt of it all, and witnesses the suffering he had caused, and just wants to hide from it all. Just wants to withdraw back to his fantasy world where he’s safe, where harm can’t reach him, where nothing happened. He is more comfortable in his imaginations, having always relied on it when he’s troubled. He is safe there. He can hide there. And he did—for 4 years straight, until the truth’s roots eventually seeped its way into the soil of his headspace in a manner that cannot be uprooted. In a way where BASIL’s feelings and MARI’s thoughts found its way into his dreams.
However, there is a similarity in terms of their fears. Both of them are scared of being alone. however, their reasons for it are different. BASIL is scared of it due how he’s always been alone—desperately doing everything so that people won’t abandon him. Desperately wishing and praying he doesn’t have to go back to that. Whereas sunny’s more scared of it due to him never experiencing how it is to be truly alone with nobody “by his side”. He’s always had people around him, his parents, HERO, KEL, AUBREY, MARI, and BASIL. And him, being scared of the unknown, was terrified at the aspect of how bad it would feel—especially when he’s heard the feelings of one who has experienced it.
The tragedy of their character also contrasts. The tragedy of BASIL’s character lies in him re-experiencing how it is to be stuck with nobody being there by his side again just right after he finally found people who he can rely on and confide in. It lies in him having to go through everything just to be loved again. It lies in losing everything and going back to having nothing once again. While the tragedy of SUNNY’s character comes with the loss of something you have always had by your side. The tragedy of inexperience, and the grief from losing something you loved. The tragedy of being alone when you were always surrounded by loved ones—one way or another.
Even if BASIL wants to be free, no matter how much he does to free himself and SUNNY from everything that happened—he’s still essentially trapped. While SUNNY traps himself deeper via his headspace despite him being the one who could set both himself and BASIL free. He does realize this, though—however, it was too late. He finally realizes how much trapping himself affected BASIL, he finally realize that he needs to be there for him even just for a little while right as BASIL was about to kill himself. SUNNY desperately rushes in to save him, and no matter how much he wants to leave, he decides to stay. There’s no more running away when the life of a friend you love—platonically or not—is on the line.
Perhaps there was a deep sense of jealousy within BASIL towards SUNNY. A deep sense of jealousy that he rejected out of fear of accidentally hurting SUNNY. His color is green, right? The color of hope, of life, of modesty, of renewal, endurance, growth… but also the color of stagnation, isolation, sickness, envy, death. It perfectly incapsulates him, and his feelings towards SUNNY. Towards everyone. Towards himself.
In a way, they’re like the sun and the moon. Whenever SUNNY reaches out for BASIL, BASIL avoids him. Whenever BASIL reaches out for SUNNY, SUNNY runs away. Rather than the waves and the moon, they’re like the sun and moon—running away from each other in cycles. Rinse and repeat. Over and over again.

Thinking about writing a smut fic right now with some plot. Where Steve and Eddie start a Dom/Sub dynamic in their relationship. Steve lets Eddie soothe him into subspace (I don't know maybe through some petting/caressing mixed with praise) and then they try restraints. Like Steve is in subspace, yes, but he has full control over how he's tied up and whatnot because it's to help him heal from the torture he experienced in season 3.
He enjoys being able to see all his limbs in front of him. He doesn't like anything that tugs and burns. So nothing like belts or ropes. But he does enjoy silk, soft materials. (Maybe something like Eddie's bandana?) Likes mixing restraint with gentle and expected touches. Maybe Eddie guides him to sit back in bed and starts by narrating where he's going to put his hands on Steve's body? Like massaging his legs and his arms. Tracing over Steve's scars with his fingertips. Enjoys leaving a trail of kisses that are soft in nature and don't leave behind any marks. Eddie only leaves hickeys and bruises if Steve wants them and won't do anything Steve is hesitant to do. During a session, Steve has his legs tied together where they're bent over the edge of the mattress, he's in a sitting position and looking down at Eddie, Eddie caresses his legs and holds his hands, but also gives Steve like the best blowjob of his life.
Each session is short and manageable. Though they can be sexual in nature, they're for Steve. Eddie doesn't typically get off unless Steve lends himself to that. They're planned out. They aren't spontaneous or sudden or rough. (Steve panics if they are—think of the torture scene in season three and how immediate and dangerous his surroundings were.) Eddie just spends his time taking care of his boy. And the aftermath is always just as sweet. A lot of soft praise. Gentle voices. Cuddling, holding, bare skin to skin contact. Eddie will comb his fingers through Steve's hair and let the quiet surround them. Sometimes they play music after, but Steve enjoys the aftermath more if he can come back to every single one of his senses slowly. He uses his hearing to locate Eddie's breathing, how soft it is, how non-urgent it is—because that means there's no danger. And Steve can relax.
I don't know. Thinking about that. Just using sexual intimacy or even just naked non-sexual intimacy as a means of healing. Rather than Steve being shut off and spiky with panic. That sort of thing.
Also, if this idea interests anybody, I'd love to see other people's take on this. I feel like when I do eventually write this, it may just be lack luster lol
