Thinking About Ghost Writer's Library ( o.o)
Yeah, that's right folks! It's ya girl! Back on her bullshit, with PONDERING TIME. But like? GW? Is AT BEST? Somewhere around Victorian or Edwardian, given his aesthetic, right? And? Granted! It COULD be, he just vibes SUPER HARD with this Hot New Look(tm).
But like?
He is Baby.
They basically ALL are Baby. It's the... no, A(!) Baby area of the Zone. A place where sentient life is JUST sort of beginning to happen. On the COSMIC, INTERDIMENSIONAL, scale of things. What, after all, is a MERE few millenia? When the average is counting things by Eons? And even WORSE? When your ENTIRE COUNTRY and HISTORY is? What... CENTURIES?
Zygote. You are not but an infant. Back to daycare with you.
Which of course, leads the baby sitters. Even the occasional Adult. SOMEONES got to watch them. But it's not like THEY want to volunteer their eternity. They have Obsessions to follow. And there are A LOT of Baby Zone's to watch! More forming every day! The great dance of Life And Death etc etc, Yada yada!
Who's being punished? Make them do it! *Clockworks in long term plan*
But! Not the point here! Though fascinating to consider! The POINT? GW->Baby. His Library? Larger then then any Earth libraries, yes. But! Still SMALL. A BABY'S collection of books! Still growing. And for all his bragging and posturing? FAR from the Zone's BEST Library.
It likely doesn't even get to make the LONG FORM list.
Which Danny? Who is STILL banned? Quickly figures out. Because? Amity Library is... DECENT. It's working with the funding It's gotten dispite the damage ghost fights have done. Danny loves that library. He does. But... he also? Kinda has run out of things to READ.
And like HELL is he gonna BEG to enter GHOST WRITER'S Lair. Mister "Love Christmas or I'll torture you with it" can SUCK [REDACTED] and shove it up his [REDACTED BUT WITH VIOLENCE THIS TIME]. So? He asks, vaguely of course, Mr. Ho the librarian what he should do.
The man practically froths at the mouth at the thought that there is some BASTARD denying children books over PETTY PERSONAL BULLSHIT. Wants to meet this guy out back. "Talk books". Mr. Ho is like a bazillion years old and a tiny grandpa, he's amazing and Danny STILL kinda wants to be him when he grows up.
But since Danny won't let him deck Ghost Writer. He shows him how too look up other libraries in the area. Which... sparks An Idea(tm). He thanks his favorite librarian and races home. Makes a Bee Line for the Far Frozen.
Can he LOOK at the Infinity Map, Frostbite? He knows taking it is only for Important Events, but... why, you ask? Well...*explains*
Which is how he ends up, with a pen and paper, watching Trained Yeti Map Makers(tm) quickly sprawling out Map after Map, as Frostbite (who is apparently the only one AUTHORIZED to do this, who knew?) formally asks the Map in? Weirdly specific and oddly phrased ways, for the best libraries? Huh?
Ooooh! Frostbite is authorized because he's the only one TRAINED in the exact workings of the Map. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. When Danny was using it, it dragged him at like Mach bajillion all over the place and he had to keep rephrasing things.
So? He can go now, right? Since he has the directions?
What do you mean "not quite"?
Danny finds out he needs an "Adult Escort". Because he is Baby. And much like children can not fly to Peru alone from halfway across the globe, so too, they can not LEAVE the baby zones to travel through Adult Territories where they could get Ended by accident, WITHOUT Adult supervision. Safety first!
D:< He just wants BOOKS!
Fine! Clockwork is old as BALLS! Older probably! He's LITERALLY TIME! How's THAT for OLD, huh?! Can he GO NOW!? He just wants to check out their ghostly sci-fi section! He's curious AF! He bets they have ALIEN Sci-fi! Come oooooooon!
Clockwork, of course, let's himself be dragged along. Because this is hilarious. AND going to terrify so, SO many assholes. Which is Funny :)
Danny gets his library card to *Unpronouncable without several neck bones humans do not have*, which is the size of Jupiter's BIGGER BROTHER. It isn't even the "Best" library. Just the closest. Danny has a manic... everything, the Fenton blood is strong with this one. So Many Booooooooks~!
And yeah, school books or whatever, probably a great learning resource.
BUT THE SCI-FI AND COMICS SECTION! It goes on for MILES! LITERAL MILES! *incoherent noises of joy*
Needless to say, the Librarians think he's ADORABLE. Such an eager reader! And so SMALL! A BABY! Look at his lil hands~! Be careful with the books, okay sweetie? Oh heck yeah! He WILL be!
And obviously? He gaurds those books with his LIFE. That's his Premium VIP Celebrity Gucci Bespoke Comics of The Multiverse Access! You'll have to pry it from his multi-dead, still smoking, Ended 5Ever hands!
The problem with THIS is?
Even with careful book covers? Those are CLEARLY glowing books. Like... day glow. Unnaturally glowing. The OTHER problem, is UNLIKE that baby GW? Adults can make their books multilingual. OMNILINGUAL. Is this book in French? Or Ainu? Yes. If it's YOUR language, then that's what you're reading in. Is it a bit clunky at times? With things that don't translate well, having to be explained in side notes? Yes. But better then not being able to read them at all!
And of course, comfort and repetition breed mistakes. You get too used to doing something. Forget you're supposed to be HIDING it. Maybe you go to college. Maybe the world moves on. You bring down a government agency with your friends. Become an infant king, much to the unspeakable alarm of the adults who SHOULD have been watching and protecting you. Maybe you have WORDS with them. Who's to say.
You're tired. It's been a long month.
You just want your coffee and a snacky lil treat. Something yummy for the you. Surely you've earned it, right? You've been good. So you take your sweet new alien sci-fi epic, your scrunkly feral Racoon lookin self, and you crawl like the half dying man you are. Towards the sweet relief of sugar and caffeine. Pride? You don't know her. Gib the coffee or you bite.
Unfortunately! There is some shitty "the Youth Today blah blah blah, let try and catch them of gaurd with loaded questions to prove my point and make a whole generation look dumb" reporter on campus. You see them out of the corner of your eye. They clearly think you are the weak link.
They are making their way towards you, mic raised.
Ah. Tragic, they have chosen death.
Before they can reach you, you raise your voice and not so much throw them under a bus, as drive the bus over THEM. Because THIS Coffee shop is the Punk hangout spot. And you've made casual friendly acquaintances with the six foot something, Sam clone from Scotland, whose life goal seems to be "Fight God".
And THESE fine folk DEFINITELY want an interview :) Have Fun, Thorn!
Needless to say, the clips go viral. With Danny sitting in the background, coffee and muffin achieved. Minding his business. Reading his glowing book. Which everyone ignores, on campus. Because EVERYONE knows Danny can make things glow! It's his weird minor power. Some lab accident in his teen years. NBD
But like... no body ELSE "knows" that. So it attracts attention.
Which would be FINE.... if he was reading an EARTH book.
But he's NOT.
And someone recognizes it.
Maybe it's Martian. Kryptonian. Could be Asgardian. Depends on the crossover you want! Because it could be ANY crossover! Lost books. Not just the Great Classics(tm) that people like to save. But the silly ones. The small ones. The equivalent of dime store novels and cheap drug store comics. Children's books. Banned books. The things Powerful People tried to erase from history itself. The things TIME tried to erase, with the fall of nations and the coming of war.
The destruction of worlds.
All of it there.
Imagine it. Standing on a planet, far from the world that was once your home, KNOWING in your heart that everything is gone. Everyone. That NOTHING but what you carry with you remains. And looking up one day to see, in the background of some average and silly video? Not "War and Peace" or "Great Expectations" or some other likely exported peice... but? Some youth reading that overly dramatic trashy sci-fi book that your cousins wouldn't stop raving about. The ones all the adults were SICK of hearing about.
It would NEVER have passed the bar for export.
It was silly and embarrassing but culturally significant.
It's... it's right there.
How?
Wouldn't the desperation that fills you be suffocating? Are there others? Is that an original? How is it here? How can he READ it? Who taught him? Who IS he? Is he one of us? Where? How? HOW?! Please. PLEASE!
And Danny? Would have no idea! :)c it's great~

if you think some arbitrary line needs to be crossed for tom and greg to ‘go canon’, or otherwise it’s ‘queerbaiting’, instead of understanding the canonical trajectory of their storyline as already being subtextually and textually queer, that’s a barrier in your own head created by the environment of fandom, and has nothing to do with the show itself

ok nobody asked but i've been chewing on it and i think my own personal reasons for immediately hitting 11 when i see the Carbon Monoxide Detector bit is because i'm one of those socially inept weirdos whose coping mechanism of choice is "basically doing stand-up comedy," and the carbon monoxide people are some of the most exhausting audiences you can run into
most of the time you get people who are unimpressed by your humor OR they're completely unused to it so you're getting laughs and a good grade in socializing (both are Fine) OR if you're really lucky someone is catching the ball and throwing it back (The Ideal). But there's a secret third thing where someone is acting like you couldn't POSSIBLY have said The Joke on purpose, whatever you just said was SO fucking strange or clever or whatever that you, tragically afflicted in some way that makes you too stupid to choose your words intentionally, must not be aware that what you just said could be taken as a joke
But it's okay! this helpful audience member is going to stop everything, take your hand and look in your eyes, and inform you in the most lukewarm way possible that not only do they think you're not smart enough to be funny, but your primary way of communicating comfortably isn't going to work here! they will be undermining you and ruining your punchlines for the rest of the night, the ball has been intercepted and confiscated
if you're not a comedian here's another angle; were you a teenage girl surrounded by people who had to halt everything to point it out anytime anything you said could MAYBE be taken as an innuendo, because a teenage girl couldn't possibly have made that kind of joke on purpose? remember how annoying it was trying to talk about shit with someone who had to pause every other line to collect themself about the alternate universe where you're very embarrassed about whatever basic thing you said that they couldn't handle? and it felt like being stuck on a tightrope where you had to decide between being boring but maybe listened to or constantly have your autonomy called into question because even your own weird personality isn't allowed to belong to you?
idk i can't speak for everyone obviously but i keep seeing people Bewildered about why some folks get irritated about it so here's a possibility. LIKE it's fine to think someone's not funny and it's fine to think they are but these kinds of comments come off more like "i thought what you said was funny but for reasons i'm not going to examine i'm embarrassed for thinking that, so i'm gonna flip it on you and act like you didn't say it For Real." it's frustrating and i think people are justified to feel frustrated about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@grandvizier asked: 🐶
munday no-no and yes-yes list
Let me think..
Send  🐶 for a role play related pet peeve.
Folk who come around just for romantic shipping purposes. It's happened to me a few times and it feels just awful to deal with. I love shipping, I do, but the chemistry needs to be right, or my friendship with that person needs to be pretty old for comfort's sake. Respect & understanding of our characters relationship needs to be a two-way street between us writers when we're that far down the road.
I don't apply this rule to muses who are flirty and/or sleazy by default, casanovas and the like - that sort of behavior is expected and I am totally fine with it. Goodness knows I have a few myself! And naturally, this doesn't apply to characters who are married/together by default in canon (Trisha & Hohenheim for example). But, I can usually tell who comes around just for ship plugging. Can't do it!

genuinely is there anything funnier (more aggravating) than hearing people on this website argue "this character acted OOC here when they did something mean/bad in canon"

Do you ever think about when in The Wicked King, Jude told Cardan,
“I did it for the same reason that you did. To get it out of my system.”
Cardan didn't once flinch or disagree, the only thing he cared about was confirming,
“And is it?” “Out of your system?”
He didn't say he did it for that reason, he did NOT agree. He didn't even say that even if he had done it for the same reason, that she was out of his system, because fuck, she wasn't.
he gives a thin-lipped nod and departs.
Tbh, I feel like something might have cracked inside Cardan after hearing that.
She would never be out of his system. This guy spent years of his life thinking about this girl, dreaming about her.
I like to imagine that after their fooling around, their was no going back for Cardan. He thought about this girl so much, it disgusted him, it did not make sense why his mind kept going back to that mortal girl or the curve of her ear or the way she looked, her eyes, unlike any other (ensorcelled) mortal. But maybe after they did what they did, Cardan understood? Because it's after that that Jude commands him to not be alone and stay with his guards to which Cardan reacts like he's been bitten because Jude thinks he doesn't expect that.
What if my boy just wanted to be with her and talk?! 😭 it wasn't nothing for him, it meant something to him.
I mean, can you imagine what Cardan must have said or confessed to had Jude not blurted out those words? And again, had Jude not commanded him?
And then she was taken prisoner, fuck! And Cardan felt like he was drowning without her!
