Frequent Readers Of This Blog Will Know That I've Long Held That "gen" Fics Are Often Considered An Afterthought

Frequent readers of this blog will know that I've long held that "gen" fics are often considered an afterthought in fandom, and that it's assumed that anyone reading a fic is reading it for the romance. So I thought, what do we do on Tumblr when we feel something needs more attention in fandom? We do a challenge!

My thought is we do a "Gen Fics Week", where people will either write or recommend seven gen fics for seven themes. My thought for having recommendations being acceptable submissions is that one, it will open the participation up to non-writers, and two, it will allow writers to recommend fics they already wrote that didn't get enough attention. But, of course, this would all be pointless if I were the only one doing this, so here's a poll to gauge interest.

Ramble Of Thoughts And A Small Sketch Dump Under The Cut.

Ramble Of Thoughts And A Small Sketch Dump Under The Cut.

Y'all can't convince me that my boy looks absolutely NO different than he did before that portal accident. Whether his "molecules got rearranged", or is walking around both alive and dead at the same time like Schrodinger's cat, or any of all the different headcanons that exist out there, surely there has to be SOMETHING that's not quite right, right?

That's why I really like to draw Danny's human form's eyes like the above concept art. I like the idea of his eyes passively being the only visual hint that not everything is as it seems. The eyes are the window to the soul, after all. Maybe it's too obvious, idk, I might scrap the concept at some point. But no one on the show has ever noticed the consistently blatant use of his powers in plain sight either, so I guess it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Likewise, just like how Danny's human eyes will glow green when he's angry, I think it would be cool for his ghost form to also have a version of his "scary eyes" that's more dynamic than a simple brighter glow than normal. I feel like the idea of his pupils changing color to a bright yellow makes it much more intimidating than normal (I mainly took inspiration from the old Pet Sematary movie when I first thought of this, which freaked me out as a kid, so maybe it seems more eerie to me than it actually is, idk, I just thought it was a cool concept).

From a quick glance around the tumblr I didn't see anyone else have this sort of headcanon. Of course I didn't look very hard either so I'm sure there's something similar somewhere probably that I missed, but I wanted to throw it out there anyway.

(Also, I've been working on a couple of projects that I hope to be finished with soon, hopefully I'll be able to get done with those and post them within the next week or two. Or three. Or so. Idk, I have a full time job and part time job so it's hard for me to balance things.)

Fandom: Danny Phantom Length: 27min Summary: And what if, when Danny transforms on the dissection table, they do believe him?

I posted a new podfic - this time it's a oneshot Last Chance by @liketolaugh-writes

It's my first time recording a oneshot, it feels a bit strange (in a good way) to finish it so fast. I hope I was able to capture the feel of the story well <3

[Podfic] Monogamy Is For Pussies, If I Do Say So Myself Written By @14muffinz, Read By @apple-sapling

[Podfic] monogamy is for pussies, if I do say so myself written by @14muffinz, read by @apple-sapling

Original work: monogamy is for pussies, if I do say so myself by 14Passionz (14Muffinz)

DP: Danny Fenton/Tucker Foley/Sam Manson/Valerie Grey

Length: 21:48 | Rating: T

Summary:

“Not serious,” Sam insists, because she doesn’t want them to get the impression that this is something bad, which usually goes hand in hand with serious. “Just… an observation that I didn’t want to keep to myself any longer.” Val’s suit disappears underneath her skin, though she remains perched on her board. She raises a single brow and requests, “Shoot.” In a move that Sam rarely makes, she takes in a single steadying breath. She looks between the three faintly glowing gazes of her friends, and reminds herself that after everything they’ve been through together, this certainly won’t be the conversation to break them apart. “I don’t think that what’s between the four of us is… strictly platonic. It hasn’t been for a while, actually.” [Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie try out more traditionally romatic things in their dynamics. Is it a polycule? ... Probably. That doesn't matter that much, in the grand scheme of things.]

Last podfic I made for @polypodweek 2025!

Thanks for tagging me, Tyler :)

I have something round near my collarbone. I can move it around under my skin. Idk what it is, might be some lymphatic node or something like that.

First time i noticed it I kinda freaked. And then we tried to remove it surgically. But the doctors must have just removed a piece of fat instead, because it's still in there XD
