These have been a lot of fun to make, even if there was a lot of sending files between different devices and I had to get familiar with Krita again as it's the only drawing program I currently have on my laptop. (Apparently I hadn't updated it in years, so yeah... it's clearly not gotten much use in a while 😅)

Link to Base:

About 99% of the Observants are complete assclowns, and wanting to control everything and being pretty much micro-managing everything. To the point no one in the Ghost Zone likes them, even Clockwork. Literally no one like the arrogant little eyeballs.

Only except there's literally only ONE Observant who actually does his job, and is not arrogant no matter what.

Like, imagine there - out of the infinite amount of Observants, there is the ONE OBSERVANT who actually does his job. This one actively follows the Oath of only having to Observe. But also follows the rules, and knows that some things need to change.

Unlike the OTHER Observants who wish to stick that Summoning Cirlces are the biggest thing there is in the past few trillions of eons.

That one Observant, unlike the others, will give advice - tips, but not outright force anyone to do anything. But again, stickler for the rules. He will have a headache each time Phantom does anything reckless.

Not the, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" kind of way. More like, "Please, don't do that - that's incredibly stupid."

But that Observant won't do thing for good, obviously. Just keep things in CHECK - make sure the multiverse doesn't freaking explode. True Neutral, not chaotic or evil or good. Just Pure Neutral.

The PROBLEM with being the only Observant who follows the Oath, Rules and KNOWS what he's doing is that anytime any OTHER Observant does anything stupid - his eyeball is going to pop out from his face from the stupidity of the Council.

And he's so outvoted by the other Observants, that everyone just BELIEVES all of them are bad. Not even CLOCKWORK knows about him, so every time the Observants try to be controlling - Dave the Observant is really tempted to strangle them for doing something so idiotic.

Think of it like a job. This one Observant actually knows what he's doing, what to do, and how to do it BETTER than the 'superior upstairs' because he has EXPERIENCE. Unlike those egotistical eyeballs.

And even worse, is when he DOES try to get involved - he gets pushed aside because they're assuming ALL of the Eyeballs are like this and he can't get a word in!

A lot of fanfics in which Danny Fenton becomes the ghost king usually portray the Observants as an antagonistic force for Danny, with both him and the Observants disliking each other quite a bit. This is, in my opinion, a woeful underutilization of the Observants.

And the plus side of it all, is that he gets to see it in his cog mirror shaped portal thing directly with popcorn in hand.

The dramas, the angst, the comedy, the romance and things. Its just a full blown telenovela to him.

So when the day came where he finally found a smidge of time to go on a vacation, he brought Danny with him, so much for the boy's confusion in Clockwork's sudden invitation to drag him along to Gotham then to space of all place.

Turns out, Clockwork just needed the 'human' Danny for a sec and trolled around in the watchtower that he got a human hostage while Danny was just confused as hell as to what's happening.

Danny: Clockwork??? Hello??? What's happening?!?

Clockwork and his cryptid speech: Unnatural of a fog, the forest has changed. This time, the flow of the clock is mine.

Danny:.... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!?

And then the JL just thinking that the human is in distress from being a hostage by this entity while Clockwork just wants to have fun.
