Everyone knows that King Phantom's appearance fluctuates based on his mood and the task ahead.
Dynamic battle, working in a team to achieve the impossible? King Phantom is a young boy of 14, quippy despite the inherent sadness of a child ghost.
Showboating, standing in front of a powerful enemy to tell them that "No, Earth is already occupied." or to a ghost: "You've taken it too far this time." And King Phantom is a huge man with red eyes and hair that flickered like candleflame.
And if the mission was sabotage and espionage, sneaking into fortresses previously impregnable? King Phantom is a girl, even more unsettlingly young than the first.
Danny has no idea why everyone has so much trouble keeping the three of them straight - constantly referencing events that happened while he was on sabbatical from JLA work. However, Danny does appreciate that because technically all three of them are technically the same person that the King workload can be spread out a bit - those realms are infinite after all.
Vox: What do you want?
Charlie: We're trying to find Alastor.
Vox: And you came to me? Do you think I keep tabs on him at all times? That I follow his radio waves every second of the day?
Vaggie: Well, do you?
Vox:
Vox: ...yeah, just give me a second.
Okay but if you told me this was canon dialogue from a future episode I wouldn't even be surprised
A really funny idea would be that practically all main Alastor ships are canon, but Alastor HIMSELF is the only one who doesn't know he's in a polycule. (RadioRose, RadioHusk, RadioDust, RadioApple)
(They don't tell him because he doesn't handle being confronted with caring about others very well, and the last time it was implied, he ghosted and didn't talk to Husk for almost a decade. Alastor is very dedicated to being the untouchable Radio Demon, and if you try to make him come to terms with the idea of being Perceived, he freaks out.)
And so, when Angel and Husk notice Lucifer and Alastor starting to circle each other, they grab Lucifer to tell him the Rules of the Polycule.
H: "Hey, we noticed you giving Al eyes, we wanted to let you know how to go about this since he's dating us too."
L: "Oh shit! I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"
H: "Nah, you're welcome in. We just gotta give you the ground rules because the last time I didn't, it didn't end well for anyone."
L: "What."
A: "Smiles isn't big on being seen as soft, so you just gotta avoid letting him know he IS, is all."
H: "Here's our current schedule, let us know the best times for you and we'll adjust it fairly."
L: "You....you have a SCHEDULE???"
And they hand him a sheet that's basically like:
No telling Alastor about the polycule!
No telling Alastor anything that implies he is soft or cares about you or anyone in the polycule! (He WILL disappear for another 7 years, and everyone else in the polycule will be mad at you)
No trying to force Alastor into doing anything with you (Obviously!)
Ask before joining someone else's Alastor Time(tm) (One on one time isn't always required, but it's just rude to hijack it for no reason)
Try to stick to the schedule the best you can (adjustments are allowed with prior notice, other conflicts, or Alastor himself asking you to do something outside your time)
Dating others (in and outside the polycule) is fine, just be respectful
Respect everyone else in the polycule!
VOX IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE POLYCULE
DO NOT LET VOX SEE THE SCHEDULE
L: "What's...what's with numbers 8 and 9? The TV guy???"
H: "Ugh, he's the reason FOR these rules! I tried to let him join me and Rosie a few years back, and instead he tried to make Alastor his own, permanently. Not only did he tell Alastor that they were dating, and tried to force him to join the Vees, he tried to kick me and Rosie out of the picture! Dealing with that mess was a NIGHTMARE. It took Rosie months to get him to talk to her again, and he practically ignored me before he completely disappeared. We JUST got everything back to normal after that mess."
L: "Uh, okay. Got it, no Vox."
And then, without Alastor ever noticing, he just gets another member of his polycule.
at first there were supposed to be only 2 pages with 4 frames where all the gang sits in one room, Alastor passing by and says like, happy pride everyone, and everyone are just yeah to you too, then pause and then they all suddenly relise and are sitting there with big shocked eyes
but i couldn't place all of them in one frame jkdfhljkgvdfloukghl
That moment when someone verbalizes your experience AND SHARES IT
Sometimes I hyperfocus so hard on something, I forget I’m a person until someone interacts with me. I feel like some wild animal seeing a human being for the first time. I’m like “oh yeah I’m supposed to speak and stuff”
Me, you, and our giant robot son
Gotham has a Waffle House that has been almost untouched for a few months now. Sure there have been a few fights inside, but that's no big deal. The big deal is that their cook has stopped plenty of attacks from robbers and even well known rogues.
Many of the staff and regulars also believed that the same cook was also a cryptid of some kid with how quiet he is, how cold his presence is, and how he seemed to just appear out of nowhere with no sound being made. But who cares? His waffles are the bomb.
Danny is thankful for the steady night job, but would very much appreciate it if the Bats stopped watching him through the windows.
I adore that moment when you’re walking and suddenly you just have ideas. You know how to fix that plot hole. You know how that final battle is gonna play out. You come up with the most perfect line of dialogue. You find a way to link point a to point b. You have fine details to enhance everything.
That moment of sheer inspiration, that absolute spark of brain magic, is simply phenomenal.
Okay, I'm sick and my sickness brain decided to go down this path:
Tom Riddle must really regret killing Moaning Myrtle for the two years he has left at Hogwarts. He's a prefect, and later a Head Boy, meaning he has access to that bathroom reserved for the prefects, bathroom that dear old Myrtle has canonically invaded for the sake of spying on naked boys (and maybe girls too, who knows).
I headcanon that Riddle gets terrified (in the most angry way) of Hogwarts bathrooms after the first time she appeared floating above the pool while he was bathing. She never knew he was the one responsible for her death, nor is she ashamed of showing her interest in him (like 95% of the school's population back then).
Anyway, crack fic where Moaning Myrtle is a terror and Tom can't even have a quiet time at the loo without her finding him. This + having split his soul once already = an even more volatile Tom Riddle who jumped at the occasion to kill his Muggle family. Oh he had other plans for them before that, imperio them into giving him their money, stealing their house and making himself heir of their entire fortune for one, but after all that time trying to evade a fucking ghost, he kills them because he can't kill her anymore. And exorcism who? Under Dumbledore's nose? Unlikely!
Send me asks about Headcanons. I'll talk your ears off.
