HOO WAY
I'm GRIEVING!!!!!
I am going to see The Amazing Digital Circus in theaters tomorrow. However, because I am NOT an asshole, I will not be posting any spoilers until June 19, when it's available for everyone. It's hard enough avoiding the tumblr and AO3 pages. I also ask that everyone who has seen it:
Not post spoilers.
Not post fanart containing spoilers.
Not post fan fiction containing spoilers.
I know you're excited but there are a lot of fans who want to remain spoiler free until the premier. Have a little patience, please?
Seeing how Gooseworx explicitly told us in the movie's credits to not say anything until it releases digitally...
...let's respect that, okay y'all?
Not a Small Town
So...it's pretty obvious Amity Park isn't a small town, right?
In every overhead shot it shows a downtown area with traffic and tall buildings, has multiple newspapers and considering the ghost shield wasn't big enough to cover it in Reign Storm, Amity is spread out over a large area.
It seems more like a small city like Portland or Saratoga. Nowhere near the fame or bustle of a place like NYC obviously but it's certainly not an isolated place considering all the ghost hunters that show up in that one episode or small enough for everyone to know everyone.
It just something that's confused me since joining this fandom. Is it supposed to make the place more spooky or eldritch? Cities can be pretty spooky, especially at night or during bad weather. Not to mention all the alleyways or abandoned buildings. In fact, having it as a city can be worse since it's easier to hide supernatural phenomena.
Here is your monthly reminder that Amity Park is a city not a small town
They have a large town hall, a water park, a zoo, a ski run in the winter, from what I remember, enough open, unclaimed land to put a circus/fair on, and a medium-sized mall. We could have other high schools that we the viewers never learned about because they were not plot important. There is at least 4 public parks and also the zoo has enough funding to hold and house a heavily endangered species
It looks like the plot centers around a suburb of the larger city that is amity park
I know that this is stupid I care anyway
It's almost summer! Which of my fics should I work on? Reply to this post to suggest a fic, and I will add it to a poll later today or tomorrow.
So far I've got votes for Snow and Song, Danger First, Ancestral, Providence sequel, and Seascape.
As sweet as blood in wine, Timely finds and worthy antiques and Dream lantern please!

The faeire took the offered hand and shook it eagerly. "You can call me Caine! And this little scamp is...hmm..." He looked her over and hummed.
"Does he...not know her name?" Spike whispered to Wormo, who gave the best effort of a shrug as they could manage.
"....Pomni!" He snapped his fingers as though finally solving a puzzle that had long plagued him. "Her names Pomni. You hear that kid? What's your name?"
"Pomni." The little girl repeated nonchalantly, sticking her hands closer to the fire and humming a little song.
"Glad we're all on the same page."

All the air seemed to leave her and she felt as though she were being held up by only a fragile thread. "W-Wife?"
Suddenly the odd request made too much sense.
"His thirteenth wife, don't you feel lucky?"

Alright, what's the verdict? Is the new game worth getting?

Heads up
Don't panic, I just changed the name of my tumblr to match my AO3 account. Gonna be doing a little editing for what's coming up, mainly so I can link my fanfics here.
'Danny doesn't have a heartbeat anymore.' 'Danny's heartbeat is really slow in human form and nonexistent in ghost form.'
How about: Danny's heartbeat remains normal in human form and his ghost form has a slower heart rate. It freaks the other ghosts out.
A Danny who has perfectly normal biology for a human, but it's his ghost form that's wrong and stumps Frostbite at every corner. A core that pulses, hair that doesn't float, consistent dense spots of ectoplasm in his torso, flat teeth instead of fangs, an odd need to breath not for air but to speak to vibrate psuedo vocal cords.
Yeah, I know it's common to depict his ghost form affecting/bleeding out into his human form, but what if it's the other way around?
It's not his ghost form making his human side spooky, but his humanity making his ghost form uncanny.
He still has his organs, they're just made of ectoplasm. He still breathes and walks like a human. The other ghosts and ghost hunters can't figure him out. He isn't following the unwritten rules. He's a supernatural creature who still behaves like a mortal teen. It's as though nothing has changed aside from some of his biology.
And that's terrifying.
TO THOSE MAKING NATIVE OCS
I see this a lot, no one has actual names, or any reference for names, that are legit Native American, varying among the tribes, for their characters.
Babynames.com and shit like that will give you names made up by white people.
However, I’ve got your solution.
Native-Languages is a good website to turn to for knowledge on a lot of native things, including native names. If you’re unsure about the names you’ve picked, they even have a list of made up names here!
Please don’t trust names like babynames.com for native names, they’re made up and often quite offensive to the cultures themselves.
Thank you!
In addition, also, as a native person, I will add —
A lot of us in modern day are given ‘white’ names, especially if we were born in close proximity with a white community or have a white parent. People on the reservation are given ‘white’ names all the time, and the way a lot of us reclaim our identity is by changing our last name / being adorned with a last name specific to our person + culture.
You WILL meet a lot of native and mixed native people with ‘white’ names, especially first names. You will also meet a lot of native people who have changed their names either to or from a ‘white’ name, on or off the rez, for their own personal reasons.
So ultimately if you are choosing a name for your native OC, this post is a good start, but you really, ultimately, need to consider things like:
what is their relationship to their culture / are they connected to their community?
is their nativeness a part of their identity they accept?
were they raised under circumstances wherein them being native was repressed or denied by those around them, specifically those who raised them?
have they given themselves a different name than they were born with?
what tribe claims them, and what names are associated with that specific culture (we are not all the same)?
etc., etc., etc. …
— when considering names for native characters.
So this post is very good! But we are all nuanced individuals and genocide / assimilation has affected us overall. It is not racist to realistically depict the effects of indigenous erasure. It is more racist to deny them. Just think about the kind of character this is, and the background they come from. Those factors dictate A Lot for us.
