Tears Of The Kingdom Spoilers:

fun little danny phantom headcanon i came up with recently is, since the functionality of ectoplasm is mostly in fanon, i think that despite it technically being a biohazard in long amounts of direct exposure, just like, touching it won't cause any lasting harm. until you apply an electrical charge to it, then it becomes volatile to harm even living people. meaning if you put a source of electricity in an ecto-weapon, instead of just firing the ectoplasm itself, that shit'll hurt.

ghosts naturally carry some sort of charge in them at all times (their core i guess?) to power/trigger their attacks, with the more charge in them, the stronger their attacks are to both dead and living. the ghost zone itself is highly charged as well, making it dangerous for humans to wander around for long amounts of time without protection, but as it leaks out the portal, the charge dissipates into the air leaving it as just ambient ectoplasm and totally harmless.

so combine the high charge of the infinite realms with the probably millions of volts of electricity needed to power a portal to the land of the dead and well... :)

if you've never played fossil fighters please watch this clip. for reasons

au of the au in this post, the wayward void part i mean (twitter ver with more details);

so when xehanort split ventus, what if he wasn't able to physically split him, only his heart becoming two while his body is (debatably) fine. xehanort still names vanitas after he realizes what happened though.

visually, their heart would now look like a combination of this post and the example in this post, as the now split ventus would be able to summon unversed just like in the original au, which i don't think i've ever actually mentioned it before anywhere oops.

what happens after that, i'm not sure. it would probably lead to similar circumstances of my darkness awakened ventus au which is probably my most fleshed out au. hell i could probably just integrate it as the beginning of that au, though it already has a proper-ish beginning... hmm... i dunno it feels like too much

(that au ventus uses darkness to save himself from the neo shadows and is therefore never dropped off at eraqus')

little bastard creature from a dream/nightmare i had, where it had the ability to "paint" you into the 4th dimension, except your eyes still couldn't see into said dimension so it just looked like you were being cut into or falling apart. If you refused it would scream and chase you like a hound from hell, and it was impossible to escape. If you know SCP-096, it was that minus the death since I woke up before it caught up.

what made it a nightmare is that despite my fear of being chased, my dreams always repeat over and over to "get the best version" of it :(

YOU GOT IT BOSS!

The initial fic is right here, "darkness in the basement" (i really need to keep working on the fic oof)

but I'll go into more detail here (including a bit of spoilers under the cut because i really wanna blabber about this)

Okay so! When Ventus destroyed their heart, his half got rescued by Sora, but Vanitas' half was basically cast out into the void with no body to return to. So when Aqua brought Ventus' empty body to the Land of Departure and subsequently Castle Oblivion, he was dragged along with, ending up in the lowest floor while Ventus slept in the highest floor.

He's stuck as a Flood now because he no longer has a body. I like to think the Vanitas Remnant really is that; a pitiful attempt at anything that's left of him trying to restructure himself, but only ending up as an Unversed recreation. That's what the Vanitas in this story is, his mind was too weak to truly bring himself back initially and that's why he's in the form of an Unversed at first, because he's not human anymore. Up until a certain point. It's also why his dark suit is now white instead of red (there's no symbol on his helmet though).

Eventually, with the help of

inhumane science experiments

he gains enough energy to have the ability to transform into other forms of Unversed, though the Flood tends to be his preferred form until he regains his human appearance. But you can't exactly sit on someone's shoulder parrot-style as human, now can you?

Skipping forwards a lot, Vanitas eventually ends up in Radiant Garden around the time of Dream Drop Distance and after being a little shit for a few weeks, is finally reunited with the only person he's ever really tolerated that he watched, you know, die. I say "tolerated" because they weren't really friends in Castle Oblivion, only truly bonding in Radiant Garden and become practically inseparable (you know those neck pillows? yeah that's flood form vanitas wrapped around ienzo's shoulders)

Also because he's still connected to Ventus, he feels when Xehanort tries to possess Sora and ends up having a panic attack because he thinks Xehanort is coming after him again :)))

(the image is bigger then i intended but meh)

design from my vanitas and ienzo friendship au where vanitas is turned into a flood after dying bbs, trapped in the basement of castle oblivion, and eventually gains the ability to transform into any unversed form

one common thing is the red marks along his chest being consistent in every form. this includes his human form, both on his skin and the dark suit, which has turned to similar colors to the remnant colors, just with the remaining red on his chest.

i love my friends but i am one of the most oblivious, densest motherfuckers i know and will not notice entire conversations

please i can't be the only one who remembers that one pixel art dragon game with coolmathgames vibes where you start off as a baby and depending on what you eat changes your color, to then get captured by a wizard until adolescence where you escape and go through his tower. then you grow up fully to either be a nature dragon(green), fire dragon(red), or a healing dragon(blue) and are able to go to a town to do whatever you want to it. leave it alone, cover it in plants, burn it down, or kill everyone by stepping on them only to revive them into zombies that constantly follow you. you finish your playtime as a dragon by making either the castle or a cave your den and are then playing as a knight to either kill the dragon or give it a flower.

i remember it so vividly but i haven't been able to find it again for what feels like so long what am i supposed to search to find this thing D:
