I Trans Characters Genders And Then Project My Own Thoughts And Feelings On Them

Danny Phantom, The Show:

geeky kid gets super powers from his parents' weird inventions! now he has to fight a rogue gallery of ghosts... but uh-oh! he still has to keep his grades up, deal with his embarrassing parents, and navigate girl troubles! rap theme song!

Danny Phantom, the Fandom, After 19 Years of Fermentation:

a child dies. but not quite. the inherent tension between life and death. the obsession of the dead for faded remnants of the living. warped green shadows on the walls of a dark laboratory. having to hide your true nature from those who should be your greatest allies. the fear of the monster you could become if you let yourself. being a ghost as a metaphor for the trans experience. a cold breath on the back of your neck in the dead of the night. rap theme song!

heres a shitty cartoon about dogs i made in like 4 days when i was still in animation classes years ago. i wanted to call it sons of bitches but they censored me

(the first song was by louie zong, I think the second was like, the soundtrack to a dog's life or something?)

My dream for the election is that it’s definitive. I want a 2012-style Election Day where everyone built it up beforehand to possibly be close but then the results start rolling in and it was like “Oh, nevermind. It’s obviously Obama. Everyone go to bed.”

I just want voters to put a stake right through the heart of Trumpism so that it crumbles to ash before our eyes. That’s the dream.

this looks so sick

i am nooooot locked the fuck in. im locked the fuck out. call the locksmith

Something I love doing is building the natural lore of my universes too. I love the idea of magic influencing evolution in some way. In a universe with natural magic, it makes sense it would, because of the inherent sway it must have on the environment. Evolution can be roughly described as “environmental pressures driving natural change over millions of years.” The rat that accidentally runs through some magical energy spewing out a ley line, and thus accidentally turns invisible, is going to survive longer than its fellow rats that cant turn invisible. Millions of years later, you have what is essentially a rat that turns invisible briefly when startled lol.

A predator may evolve true sight to counter that. Eventually over millions of years, you could see how a dragon possibly evolved true sight. With speculative magical evolution, the options are kind of endless, but this is how I headcanon you get inherently magical beasts like griffins, dragons, or unicorns.

types of fantasy subgenres - writing help

high / epic fantasy - a genre of fantasy that holds its own world and creatures. examples of this could be J.R.R. Tolkien's LOTR, or C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia

low fantasy - a genre where there are regular magical happenings in "our" world—such as a magical school, or people with magical abilities. this could be found in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, or Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away

urban fantasy - essentially low fantasy, only it takes place in an urban setting such as a big city. an example of this is Cassandra Clare's City of Bones

sword and sorcery - fantasy that is centred around swords, magic, and witchcraft. it is a subgenre of high fantasy. a book is Robert E. Howard's Conan series

dark fantasy - fantasy elements mixed with horror. The Atlas Six, by Olivia Blake

fable - a story with a moral lesson

arthurian fantasy - anything derived from the tales of King Arthur (the Sword in the Stone, etc.)

crosswords fantasy - essentially where the main character crosses between their world and a fantasy world. an example of this could be Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland

dragon fantasy - what it sounds like.

historical fantasy - a cross between the historical fiction and low fantasy subgeneres. it could be set in a royal court filled with goblins, for example, in a time that was once present on earth.
