GASP youre doing a meme can you do phantombright!!

Okay okay okay, I see there’s a mighty need for Phantombright, I got two asks with them, so, let’s do this. (I still don’t know how this could happen and don’t even ask me why I’m so intrigued by this pairing bc I just. don’t. know.)

So, for you, and for @kyaksa (I’ll do your other pairing later or tomorrow bc I’m lowkey sleepy):

“Send me a pairing and I’ll tell you who…”

Drinks all of the coffee==> Oh, Bobby. Definitely. Phantom doesn’t like coffee much, they really prefer tea, and Bobby loves coffee. The strong, True Italian One. He drinks it out of his “Justice rocks!” cup.

Brings up adopting a pet==> Bobby. Phantom is all like “… Why”, but they eventually end up with a cat, and Bobby lets them pick a name, so they have a cat named. Applepie. She loves Phantom and always wants to cuddle with them and they pretend to be annoyed but tbh they lowkey like her too. In a. Completely unemotional way, mind you.

Kills the bugs==> Phantom. When Bobby’s there, he rescues them and puts them outside or convinces them to keep it as a pet. “The spider is called Tiffany! You can’t kill something that has a name! … Oh. Ohh. I mean, I didn’t want to insinuate people who don’t have a name are-” - “Oh my God, will you please shut up if we keep the stupid spider?”

Cooks the meals==> Hc time, you know how Bobby is definitely not a Neurotypical™ and has definitely phases of mania? Cool, we’re on the same page then. Look, Phantom is a decent cook, but they don’t care much for cooking, and Bobby totally does. He’s not great in the kitchen, but he’s full of passion. He can try new recipes for like hours. So, he’s definitely the one who cooks the meals. He loves baking, too! One time, he stood in the kitchen all. Night. Long. He baked like 100 cupcakes for the other detectives and also for Phantom. Sometimes, Phantom forces him to go to bed. 

Starts getting into holidays way before they should==> Oh, Bobby, darling, sweet baby, please put back the holiday lights. (He won’t. He’ll decorate everything. One time, he decorated the Phantom with Christmas lights. They were not amused.) Phantom really doesn’t care about holidays, no matter how hard Bobby tries to make them like Christmas and stuff. But they don’t mind the decorations either.

Initiates the couple selfies ==> Bobby tries. But like, Phantom doesn’t like selfies, and other than Calisto, Bobby doesn’t pressure them, so there are very, very few couple selfies. Instead, Bobby sends them selfies of himself all the time.

Forgets the birthdays and anniversaries==> Neither forgets, but Phantom never mentions it. Bobby totally does, he’s all excited about anniversaries. He even comes up with a birthday date for Phantom tbh.

Always ends up with too much junk food after grocery shopping==> Bobby loves donuts and bagels, so he buys a lot of these. Phantom tells him he’s a walking cliché. Bobby says, no, I’m not a police officer, I’m a detective. Phantom shrugs and is like, same difference.

Nicknames the other==> Pfffft. Bobby. Phantom probably calls him Fulbright, let’s be real. Bobby tries to bring them to at least call him Robert, but eh. Bobby himself calls them all the different variations of “Phantom”, he’s rly creative there. He also tries to come up with names:“Hmmm. You might look like a Jason.”“No, I don’t.”“Adam?”“No.”“Bethany? Ohh, do you want a female name? I rly don’t mind!”“Stop.”“Bruce?”“I’m not Batman.”“DO YOU WANT TO BE CALLED BATMAN?”“Oh for the love of God.”

‘this could be us’ and it’s an image of one person

I couldn’t get the idea of Phantom dating Bobby out of my head, so here have this.

[geirutoneido]

only if you steal my shadow

a mix for the real bobby fublright! i’m not personally a big fan of how all realbright content is either focused on blackquill, or pretends the phantom doesn’t exist (since, you know, that’s literally the only canon aspect to realbright) so i decided to make a mix really for fulbright himself.

listen here (yt) or here (pm)! // tracklist under the cut!

some phantombrights i dont think ive posted here

[nachtkern]

concept: the phantom and fulbright are in love and hold hands

[ejbarnes89-deactivated20231019]

This fits well with a headcanon of mine so….

I’m not very sure how to draw Phantom outside of their ingame appearance! They are a shy datemate.

[ejbarnes89-deactivated20231019]

I have a very important headcanon that I needed to draw.

[nachtkern]

maybe you should just have just become a dentist, huh? good pay, less struggling. and the only difference is really whether you remove your victim’s teeth under sedation or postmortem.

[phantombright]

i have THINGS in the drafts but im just too lazy to tag and queue them. hows everyone. are you all feeling the phantombright spirit this afternoon

[profanesnare]

[phantombright]

just fucking @ me next time mate

[nachtkern]

so like the country whatever he works for usually kills a person and hands them the identity license social security number basics. he was actually given the identity of fulbright's neighbour so he could learn fulbright's mannerisms and such, but he's never had a major assignment in a big city usually he just does farmwork with minimal documentation so suddenly he can't get a job and the country don't give him an allowance so he's eating whatever he finds and stuff but fulbright notices

so fulbright becomes really good friends with his neighbour who really seems to appreciate home cooked meals even if they’re not really that good detective salary, but he starts to notice things and just pieces it together that he’s probably the phantom next target and the guy sleeping on his couch is the phantom but just says if you don’t kill me we can share my identity and and i’ll cook and there’s heating and even though they’re trained to murder the phantom just goes with it for the food

HONESTLY, I TOO, would be in it for fulbright’s homecooked meals  thats good. good shit op

i’ve actually been wondering a lot about the identity theft thing, i mean… its so wildly impractical on all levels and it would be extremely difficult i think to impersonate someone convincingly, even knowing them well, and even if they were a simple, unremarkable character (which i don’t think fulbright is), and like… it would be so much easier to just create a completely new character with a fake background and everything than pass off for someone people know closely. i’m on-and-off writing a dd longfic about the phantom where i’m trying to reason some things because i just can’t get over how wild that is

anyway so like, imagine, bobby fulbright on a year-long holiday in italy, and the phantom keeps calling him at weird hours in the morning and at night because of time zones because they’ve got questions about how to fulbright and Yes It’s Really An Emergency I’m Hiding In The Bathroom Right Now gumshoe asked me if i wanted to adopt a stray kitten he found he cant keep it because he already takes care of missile so like am i the kind of guy who likes kittens?? am i ready for that responsibility???? you’re not allergic to cats are you????? what do cats eat

[nachtkern]

the phantom is like gumbright's child like sure he can murder a bunch of people but fold their own clothes?? good luck once fulbright asked him to do the washing and he insisted he could do it but ten minutes later he's texting gumshoe because he doesn't know the difference between laundry powder and detergent and there's buttons and gumshoe is at work in a meeting trying to discreetly tell FBI's most wanted that they only need to half fill the cap and press the triangle button and that's it

also the phantom still failed and that is the story of why fulbright wore a faint soft pink suit to work for a week

#disordered eating #unsanitary

gh IM LAUGHING that is really cute but i’d like to think (or well, i hope, really) that the phantom is a bit better at basic survival than that (but then again i’m the same person who said “the phantom eats a whole raw egg because they forgot ppl don’t usually do that” so idk who i am to talk there)

i imagine the phantom is relatively good at passing themself off for “normal”, plus basic survival because i don’t imagine they are constantly in the care of their employer (though, they could be), but on the other hand, they wouldn’t normally form deeper bond with others (paranoia doesn’t help, either) so a lot of their awkwardness comes from a very superficial understanding of social interaction (they know what “inside jokes” are, but they’re genuinely caught off-guard when it turns out the blue badger isn’t actually gumshoe’s “fursona” like everyone at the precinct keeps saying. they had to google what a fursona was also and it wasn’t a good time)

combine “good at survival” with “poor sense of norm” and you’ll get stuff like… they’ll take care of themself but in the ugliest way imaginable. they don’t shower all that often because you technically don’t really need to, but they don’t consider that if you have people within the personal-space-bubble they can smell you’re a stinky little man, or that people shower regularly not because they’re actually dirty, but because it makes them feel nice and clean. they don’t bother cooking dinner usually because it’s a waste of their resources, and they live off of instant noodles, cheap chocolate bars and bananas (they’re a good power food, ok). they don’t actually see the problem with eating out of the trash beyond that they shouldn’t do it while others can see. they know how to do laundry, but they don’t know that some things will fucking shrink if you wash them too hot or that you shouldn’t wash colors and whites together (they’re used to handwashing their clothes, or just, burning them)

and like… all of that is fine if you don’t have any friends that can see you do that but i imagine someone living together with them would… probably notice a person is like that so please imagine fulbright asking gumshoe to to keep the phantom from eating anything expired or off the ground like the trash-eating possum they are
