danny phantom absolutely SWEPT this poll (shoutout @dp-marvel94) so i've dug through my ao3 bookmarks to find yall the goods. fair warning- i haven't read most of these fics in a while, even though i still remember how much i love them, the descriptions might be a bit vague

Something's Wrong With Danny Fenton Vol. I by Ghostly_Cabbage ( @ghostly-cabbage) is a no-one-knows au where danny transfers to casper high as a junior and meets sam and tucker. as they slowly become friends, tuck and sam realize something isn't quite right with this kid. this fic is such a vibe- the mysteriousness of sam and tuck interacting with the ghostly and the slow somber build from danny being alone to having supportive friends absolutely MAKE this fic. volume 1 has a satisfying conclusion but when i say i have author notifications on so that i get an email the second any potential vol 2 drops...

Dying To Know You by Fridurmus ( @fridurwrites with art by @faerynova) is an absolute delight of a fic wherein valerie ends up half ghost too after the events of Reign Storm and deals with it with the help of danny. the writing in this fic is so well done, perfectly capturing the horror of the situation. this fic is nearly entirely from valerie's pov and it is so so good. the art is also fantastic, i'm such a sucker for less-human ghost designs and faerynova's art and fridurmus' descriptions absolutely kill it (pun intended) here!

Undercover Phantom AU by artistfingers ( @artistfingers) is a comic series, a no one knows au where sam and tucker independently befriend both danny phantom and danny fenton. more lighthearted than Something's Wrong With Danny Fenton, and currently incomplete, this collection of comics so wonderfully captures the teenagerness of danny, sam and tucker. the art is so wonderfully adorable.

Dancing Around the Truth by Taliax ( @dannyphandump) is a very cute gray ghost fic ft paulina! Paulina discovers Valerie is the Red Huntress and blackmails her into getting a date with phantom. which is suddenly a much easier (or maybe harder) task once valerie in turn finds out danny is phantom. the reveals in this fic happen in the first third, and the rest of the fic is glorious glorious scenes of these three characters talking out their feelings. obviously i adore the danny/valerie of it all, but the aroacespec!paulina here is ABSOLUTELY DIVINE, such a great insight into the character!

I’m far too obsessed with Witch Hat Atelier not to have it become one of my ‘for fun’ writing projects. If you also love Brimmed Hat Coco au come check it out!

A man can become a god in the arena. But all he fights for is you.

In his own country, he was nothing more than a soldier. But cities always fall to the might of Rome and Yandere! Gladiator learns the hard way that slavery is the reward for defying the Emperor.

Yandere! Gladiator who's thrown into the ring with criminals and slaves, with nothing but a dull sword to protect himself.

Yandere! Gladiator who uses every trick and instinct to win. Who stands covered in blood and sand as the crowds cheer, his chest heaving.

Yandere! Gladiator who must have a lucky star.

They just didn't had a reason to do so, really

Things this article has taught me:

This same order of adjectives more or less applies to languages around the world.  “It’s possible that these elements of universal grammar clarify our thought in some way,” says Barbara Partee, a professor emeritus of linguistics and philosophy at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Yet when the human race tacitly decided that shape words go before color words go before origin words, it left no record of its rationale.

One theory is that the more specific term always falls closer to the noun. But that doesn’t explain everything in adjective order.

Another theory is that as you get closer to the noun, you encounter adjectives that denote more innate properties. In general, nouns pick out the type of thing we’re talking about, and adjectives describe it,” Partee told me. She observes that the modifiers most likely to sit right next to nouns are the ones most inclined to serve as nouns in different contexts: Rubber duck. Stone wall.

Rules are made to be broken. Switching up the order of adjectives allows you to redistribute emphasis. (If you wish to buy the black small purse, not the gray one, for instance, you can communicate your priorities by placing color before size).  Scrambling the order of adjectives also helps authors achieve a sense of spontaneity, of improvising as they go. Wolfe discovers such a rhythm, a feeling-his-way quality, when he discusses his childhood recollection of “brown tired autumn earth” and a “flat moist plug of apple tobacco.”

Brain scans have discovered that your brain has to work harder to read adjectives in the “wrong” order.

I love this headcanon

what if Vox was somehow sent to a timeline where Alastor had taken his hand?
