You won't reach a point where you don't need references anymore 😭
Even artists who freedraw regularly still do studies, refer to their past work, keep character sheets at hand, etc
Please don't impose that expectation on yourself just because of a live demo, tiktok, or timelapses especially
reblog to give the person you rb’d this from a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows
hhhhnnnngh i'm fuckn sick and i want to stay at home but its examination week so i have to go to school sick and zjdnsishwbkwkshd i fucking hate it here
I want to add Good Fentons AU. 1-I am a sucker for those, and 2-THE HILARITY OF IT NOT EVEN BEING A BAD HOUSEHOLD
For the first comment, I like to imagine that after the good reveal, they ended up making up and have gotten to the point where they just joke about Jack & Maddie vivissecting Danny if he does something. Danny started it, the first few times the responses were nervous laughs but now it's just a joke. He actually meant the bedtime thing and he got grounded for a while after that.
I want to add ANOTHER misunderstanding out there too! Hear me out: JL/YJ think that Jack & Maddie are family friends who know of Danny's identity and are actively protecting him from them. YJ/JL needed some experts in ecto entities for one reason or another, so they called in some of the first ectobiologists, the (previously negatively biased but now very accepting plus studying their society) Fenton parents! It was like- midnight when they got there and Danny had to stay away from Amity Park for a few days and forgot to tell them, and they were NOT gonna let that slide.
Meanwhile, Danny was absolutely *not* informed of who they were meeting, as well as not informed on what they were specialists of (YJ/JL didn't tell him in fears of them being disliked thanks to their past bias) so he was in for quite a surprise!
*Jack & Maddie enter the meeting room*
Jack & Maddie:
Danny:
Jack & Maddie: DANN-O! Where have you been?! Your parents have been worried sick, you know?!
Danny: I'M SORRY! I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you guys where I was!
Jack: My boy, you've grown quite forgetful in telling us when you're out ever since we found out!
Maddie: We thought that they caught you, you know? We had to make up excuses as to why you weren't home! If anyone asks, you were having a sleepover at Sam's. She's in on it.
Danny: Alright, alright. Thanks for telling me.
Anyway, they don't clarify their relationship and they didn't realize their wording could be misunderstood. How it's cleared up? I dunno. What shenanigans insue from it? People trying to mae Danny Jack & Maddie's adoptive son and their son "coincidentally" also named Danny's adoptive brother. And them being worried about him accidentally insulting his parents and him being like "Don't talk about them that way!" and Jack & Maddie who are there for some reason being "Sweetie..." cause they know that was true back then snd even if that changed it doesn't mean that things didn't happen and-
TL.DR: Add Good Fenton Parents to it :)
It was the little quips. The tiny little things. Stuff that didn't seem to matter to Phantom at all, or appeared to be normal for him, that he didn't realize weren't normal at all.
"Oh, better not hope my mom catches me." "Doing what, staying out past bedtime?" "Nah, using my powers; she'd vivisect me!"
"Another stab wound. Great." "Don't worry Phantom, I've got the med kit-" "Oh, I'm not a baby or anything, I can handle it just fine. Just gimme a sec to take it out."
"My dad has better aim than that." "...Like, when he's hunting, right?" "...At what other times would he be shooting at me?"
"Huh. Not as bad as my parents place. Look; they have a decontamination shower!" "Phantom, this lab has been vandalized to the point of needing a hazmat suit." "Did I stutter?"
Finding out each others identities did nothing to soothe the worry. Tim quietly told the others that every time he tried to run facial recognition, he kept hitting a government firewall he couldn't breach. Phantom never told them his last name, just his first, and 'Danny' is super common.
The thing that really did it though, the thing that made Bart snap and run off to ask Max, was when Danny had a nightmare.
He was talking in his sleep.
"No. Don't-stop. Stoooop. I need...my skin. Mom, no. You can't...peel off...my skin..."
Bart didn't even wait for them to wake Danny up before he was standing in front of Max, talking a mile a minute as he tried to figure out what to do, with Wally staring in horror over a plate of waffles as he computed everything that Bart was saying.
~~~~~~
Danny had a dream about his mom and Skulker arguing about how to skin him. He wouldn't really call it a nightmare, because it was just Skulker, but the scariest thing was Skulker insisting to his mom that it was possible to skin him with a potato peeler. Dream mom was arguing that it was not, and that from a scientific standpoint that was a really piss poor way to preserve a specimen.
He hadn't been begging them to stop hurting him, he'd been whining at them to knock it off.
But when he wakes up, it's to a room full of worried friends and an old man who calls himself Max.
"Kid, I think we need to talk."
Me: *zoned out* Me: *zones back in* My brother: "DON'T PUT YOUR FINGER IN IT JUST GOT OUT!" Me: *internally wheezing

Had a random thought that may or may not be influenced by my being in church today
We've seen 'accidental cult' au's for Danny. But have we seen any accidental religion creator danny? Where he becomes a preacher/priest/pastor/rabbi/guru/what-have-you/whatever-you-want-to-call-his-position?
One where he (either as fenton or phantom) begins by answering questions about the afterlife semi absentmindedly (lectures and explanations from various leaders in the realms running on repeat in his mind), so tired he doesn't notice when he starts explaining what he had been taught.
It started with him overhearing a question/conversation in school. Something small. He answered it and moved on. Forgot about it. But it keeps happening. Until people start coming to him with questions regarding the afterlife (realms) on a semi regular basis and he does his best to explain (if they understand maybe they won't be so eager to hate ghosts? Maybe they'll be able to foster understanding? Maybe he won't be so tired).
While he starts answering one person's questions others gather and hang around. Listen. And start asking their own questions. Soon, its simpler to just arrange a dedicated time and place to meet and discuss.
It starts as a simple Q&A. And over time grows and becomes more elaborate until its an official thing. He finds people who had been listening to him answering questions when they come across them (in person, online, etc). That some had taken videos and written transcripts. That those are being passed around. It grows beyond his hometown.
And Danny? Is really not sure what to make of this. (I wanna vote he doesn't become aware its a whole thing that he's been accidentally grown and run until someone who is notably *not* from Amity park calls him [insert religious leader title here]. Cue freaking out to Sam and Tucker (maybe jazz and/or Valerie too) who have been helping to run and organize this whole thing being like 'did you just realize this *now*??'
he compels me
my goal as an artist is to be able to make oc art and get 200 notes just because the art is compelling
