I saw @kii0mi ’s Horned Danny design paired with my Ghost Physics Cloak and thought “Yo! That’s cool as heck!!” I simply had to make fanart of it for day 18. The thought of Danny’s ghost form adopting traits of the Far Frozen is a RAD idea and I love to see it.
(Alternate colour version and process sketch under the cut!)
Danny glanced to see his classmate
staring at him, jaw agape. He slowly put the car back down on the
ground.
“I uh, go to the gym a lot?”
Mikey liked to think he was more observant than your average high schooler. He got good grades, and avoided getting yelled at for being a know-it-all by being able to know when his knowledge was and wasn’t wanted. He’d learned about that after freshman year, and was still fine-tuning these skills. He also noticed a lot of things around him that others didn’t pay attention to. For example, Wes.
Sure, the kid was the school’s resident crackpot, but he did make a halfway decent argument. Fenton and Phantom looked and sounded very similar, and Fenton disappeared during classes when ghost fights were going on, but that was about it. Their report in history class made it abundantly clear that was around since the Roman Empire at least, and had made it to Salem, and even feudal Japan. There were also the obvious differences in personality. Fenton was timid, except for snarking off toward bullies, lazy, only hung out with his two friends, and tried not to attract attention to himself because he was already considered weird for being a Fenton. Phantom was bold no matter what opponent he faced, generally elusive unless you brought snacks -something the A-Listers used to have a talk with him whenever they got the chance- and when he did stick around, he was very pleasant. Cocky, snarky, and made bad puns, but generally easy to get along with.
Even though ghosts could change their appearance, and aforementioned report proved the Phantom has done so a few times, he thought the point Wes made of Phantoms suit looking like the Fenton’s jumpsuits was a fun little detail.
Mikey was not, however, paying enough attention to where he was going, and as such ended up smacking into a pole. Fortunately said pole stopped him from being blasted a second later. Mikey, being a smart kid, immediately ran for cover behind some cars parked along the street.
It was fine. This was okay. It seemed to be a giant wasp ghost, but that was fine, this is fine, everything’s fine. What wasn’t fine was when he heard Danny yelling at the wasp thing. Danny. Danny who could barely pass gym. Danny who could barely run without getting winded -and coming from Mikey that was saying something- and falling on his face. Danny who ran from every ghost attack at school the second it happened and passed out somewhere safe Danny. That Danny.
Mikey peeked out from behind the car. Yeah. This was that Danny. What the fuck is he doing here. Wait, his tone changed. Why did his tone change? Mikey decided he should actually start listening to what was being said, just in case he needed to get Danny out of there. Yes. That’s why. That’s totally why he needed to start listening. He was going to to start listening now.
“I swear Bertrand, I am going to lock both you and Spectra in the thermos for a week, no, two weeks if you don’t stop bothering me!”
Bertrand? The fuck? How did his classmate know this ghost’s name, how did-oh the shots were getting closer to him now. Better pick a new car. So, he did. And not a moment too soon, because just as he crouched behind the new car, his old one flipped over entirely. There was also a lot of dirt turned up by the wasp thing hitting the ground, and that was great because that meant Phantom was here! He was going to get the two teens out of the way, and-
“Buzz off!!”
That wasn’t Phantom.
That was Danny.
Mikey looked at the direction the shout had come from, and there was only Danny. His clothes were definitely torn up, and there was generous amounts of blood, and- why doesn’t he have sleeves? One being torn off Mikey could understand, but both of them? The ghost wasp’s wings started buzzing again, and Mikey turned around to watch it get up, only for a cone of familiar blue light suck up the ghost.
“Losing to a teenager must really sting.”
That sounded like something Phantom would say. It was really weird to hear that smug tone coming from Danny, though.
“I feel bad for whoever’s car that is. Hopefully they have ghost attack insurance.”
They probably do.
“They’ll have enough problems fixing this, might as well save them the trouble of turning it back over.”
Wait, what?
Danny -raven haired, oblivious Danny- walked right past Mikey, and straight to the car. Mikey, who has been trying not to breathe too loudly this whole time, decided to hold his breath because why the fuck did the most picked-on kid in school have arms with muscles like that? More importantly, how did Danny plan on flipping the car back over with no equipment. Sure, it was on the smaller end of things, but those still weigh a t- what. Mikey couldn’t get the incessant what the fuck looping in his head out into the real world, because his jaw decided to stop working when he saw the school loser pick up a whole-ass car. Danny proceeded to turn it right-side up, and that was when Mikey’s jaw decided to catch up with his brain. Unfortunately, it was still a jumbled, so instead of what the fuck or how the hell, what came out was “What the how fuck?” And then his mouth immediately resumed its attempt to catch flies.
Danny glanced to see his classmate staring at him, jaw agape. He slowly put the car back down on the ground. He was very, very clearly nervous, like he’d been caught. Which, yeah he was, he was caught lifting an entire car!!! How was he supposed to explain that?
Mikey, to his credit, picked his jaw off the ground as soon as his brain finished rebooting. He did, however want answers, and good ones. What he got was-
tfw your coworker is such a creep that you’d literally rather be kidnapped by the local supervillain than be around him
Please can I have some more, op :’D
Honestly this is why I was sad when Megamind became a hero I wanted him to be the local supervillain who keeps the peace by ensuring he’s the only criminal in the game.
And Metroman has a big staged fight with him every fortnight or so.
And Roxanne gets ‘kidnapped’ by Megamind frequently but it’s really for a date so Metroman just goes ‘cool, pick you two up in three hours k?’
But publically Roxanne and Metroman are dating even if everyone knows the truth, it’s a fun charade.
And whenever a ‘real’ supervillain shows up Megamind and Metroman have this big dramatic ‘truce’ to team up and fight the bad guy Coming up with increasingly convoluted motivations so that Megamind is technically still evil.
They have all night writing workshops and everything.
Anyway that’s why I love this comic, because it feeds into that possibility.
Are we royality by proxy, now?” “Don’t be silly, that’s obviously a mistake on our part in the summoning ritual! Now, let me get started on figuring out how it’s possible the existence of a human-ghost hybrid…”
Here’s my Secret Santa fo @justalitlecreacher! They’ve asked for: “reveal scenarios, maddie & phantom content, danny gets summoned in a seance meant to summon the ghost king”, I tried doing all of this in one take, I hope you like it ^_^

So, as it’s roughly explained, the state alchemist program is a kind of “recruit potential human sacrifices” mechanism, with a side-order of “brute strength for the army”. But basically, the state alchemist title is mostly about being a researcher–given people like Shou Tucker exist, and given that the only requirement to stay a state alchemist is to submit a yearly report of your research that says “look I’m still being a useful scientist”.
So far, so far this is sensible, yeah? Father and the delightful children from down the lane are running a recruitment program for potential human sacrifices. So sure–butter them up! Give them lots of money, get them buddy-buddy with the government, and give them endless resources for research. It’s be pretty easy to trick a state alchemist in that position to open the portal if Sugar DaddyBradley is nudging them to do it.
And I’m still willing to go with this logic for the whole “draft the state alchemists into war” move. They make it pretty clear that was something of a last-ditch effort. And the blood transmutation circle around Amestris was an absolute necessity for Father’s plan. So the risk of a few state alchemists dying or resigning from your Potential Sacrifice Pool is worth it for the completion of the circle.
Now. To get to my fucking thought.
Edward fucking Elric. This fucking fight-me 12 year old troglodyte shows up to the exam and performs circle-less transmutation in front of mother fucking Bradley, demonstrating to one of the seven Actual Fucking Homunculi that he’d already opened the portal. Ed was literally prepped as a human sacrifice before he showed up to Central. A fully set human sacrifice showed up at the homunculi’s door, said “hey look what I can do!”, proved he’d opened the mother fucking portal already, and said “hey yeah hire me”. Human sacrifice, free shipping, no assembly required, handcuffs not included!
They could have just tossed Ed into a shoebox and kept him there until the Promised Day. They wouldn’t even need to make up an excuse he attacked the f u c k i n g president. That’s fucking treason babey. He’s 12, he’s an orphan, he’s from a rural town in buttfuck nowhere, he’s literally the easiest person alive to disappear.They could have arrested him for assassination crimes, kept him in gay baby jail, and just popped him out for the Promised Day
What do they do instead?! “Oh lmao this kid’s great. Let’s give him infinite money, no supervision, no governmental responsibilities, access to all our secret resources, and toss him on a train to who-the-fuck-knows-where-land”
They fucking did that
And like? They then had the audacity to be concerned when Edward “Fight Me” Elric almost got himself killed about 293 times. Just an endless game of “I thought u were watching him” from one homunculus to another when Ed fucking absconds half-way across the globe to go entice some other hostile entity into murdering him to death. That’s the whole series. Every arc is Ed baiting death while the homunculi are in the background like “:/ wish he wouldn’t do that”
This only gets worse when you consider they later learned Al opened the portal too because really?? These two stab-happy globe-trotting public menaces are 40% of your final evil plan for godhood. 40%. Almost half. You couldn’t fucking set aside a cardboard box to keep these idiots in?
We all knew Father was terrible at planning when we learned his thousands-of-years-in-the-making-plan involved him procrastinating until the last five minutes to get his last sacrifice, while he was?? playing chess in his fucking basement, I guess. But it’s like every time I think about it like really think about it I find 7 more reasons Father was a fucking shit idiot moron, king of the stupid fucking idiot club, flesh and blood founder of seven other established dumbasses, all living in their idiot hovel under central, just giving random dumbass 12 year olds infinite money, j u s t b e c a u s e.
Here I go back to posting dark stuff XD This is drawing which I drew earlier this year for super kind Vamptastic, and I drew her character Vanquish. It’s another piece that I really enjoyed painting and previous work which I did for her you can see here. Enjoy :D
