Now: "When you faced Dan in the alternate future, he fused a time medallion within you and then took your place within your time. That created the first paradox. What he didn't realize is the ramifications of that action." Clockwork's expression softened slightly, observing Danny carefully. "Time Medallions are exempt from my powers of controlling time, but not time itself."
As always - please let me know what you think!

"I want a damage report on the attack from earlier, any footage from that attack and for goodness sake… will someone deal with the media!"
"Yes Mayor Masters!" a chorus of aides and officials replied, scurrying out of the room.
Vlad sighed, rubbing his temples as he leaned back in his office. Dealing with Daniel's heroic exploits were one thing… but this was taking it to a whole different level! The blasted dome had been up for days and now a ghost that even he felt the presence of from inside his office shows up with the same power as the boy?
Vlad frowned as he looked up at the dome overhead, remembering the events from previous summer. Daniel had certainly grown since then, but to keep a shield this powerful up for this long? Could he truly be this powerful?
A ring brought him out of his musing, feeling the vibrations of his phone from his left breast pocket. With a slight scowl, he absently grabbed the phone and glanced at the number. His eyes widened in recognition before answering. "I was wondering when you would call," he said into his cell phone, annoyed and exasperated.
"It's Maddie," the voice answered curtly. Vlad's eyes furrowed as he scrambled more upright into his seat.
"M-Maddie!" he exclaimed nervously, flattening out his hair to make it look more presentable. He briefly berated his silliness as he settled his nerves. "What a pleasant surprise!" He stiffened slightly, confused. "Wait… why are you calling from Daniel's phone?"
"Why were you expecting him to call you?" she rebutted dangerously. Before Vlad could even think of a reply, he heard her sigh on the other line. "What do you know about heat cores?"
Vlad frowned, slightly surprised at the question. "It's one of the types of cores for ghosts. There are a few different ones – ice, fire, electricity. Surely Daniel must have mentioned them?"
"Not about heat cores specifically," she replied. Vlad still noticed the tartness in her voice; she really didn't want to talk to him.
Vlad got up from the chair, pacing as he thought of how to continue the conversation. This was Maddie! She barely spoke to him anymore; he needed to keep her talking. "Heat cores are fire based," he explained. "Depending on the ghost, it could have direct correlations to their powers like warm ectoblasts, from their appearances etc."
"What would happen if a heat core came in contact with an ice core?"
Vlad stopped pacing, looking at the phone curiously. "That would only happen if two ghosts merged somehow or if someone striped a ghost down to their core levels and combined them forcefully."
"But what would happen?" she pressed.
Vlad stayed silent for a moment, pondering her question as he searched for an answer. "I would assume… that it would behave quite like ice when exposed to heat. It'd melt – either absorbing the ice core or drying up anything the core left behind." Maddie went quiet, making an uneasy feeling creep up within the man. "Maddie," he said quietly. "Daniel has an ice core."
"He's fine," she replied quickly, but he caught the small worry in her voice. "He's resting in the infirmary." Vlad's frown deepened, waiting for the woman to explain some more. "That fight took a lot out of him."
Vlad scoffed. "Of course it did!" he replied, annoyed. "He's held a powerful shield that reflects attacks over the entire town for days. Even if he was Phantom all the time this would take a lot out of him. He's still half human! It's reckless and I can't believe you are entertaining this idiocy."
Maddie was quiet for a long time, the weight of Vlad's words hanging in the air. "This is more complicated that you even know," she said finally, the tartness coming back in full force.
"Then tell me!" Vlad exclaimed angrily. "Believe me to be the bad guy all you want Maddie, but I know Daniel! We're the same!"
"You are not the same!" Maddie exclaimed, cutting across the man's tirade. "Do you think I like seeing him do this? He's fifteen years old Vlad, and I can't do anything to protect him!" The line was quiet for a few moments before she sighed tiredly. "Look, I trust Danny's judgement. Whatever that ghost is will be a force to be reckoned with, and while I hate to say this, we may need all hands on deck. Keep the media off our backs and I'll be in contact."
"Maddie wait-" Vlad started, but it was too late. Maddie was gone, the beeping of the disconnected line entertaining his ear. Vlad brought his phone down slowly, staring at Daniel's number with a concerned frown. "What on earth is going on," he murmured, confused.
:-=-:
Maddie frowned as she hung up the phone, staring at the device in her hand like it was a foreign object. With a sigh, she opened her son's phone again, scrolling through the call log until she saw the most recent one. She stared at the four letter name, slightly surprised that her son didn't label it "Plasmius" or "Fruitloop," before finally pressing the delete button.
She didn't want to admit it, but the man was right; Danny wasn't acting logically. Danny was acting on instinct and fear, with no regard for his own safety. And here she was, powerless and unable to stop him. Her hand curled around the phone determinedly, before setting it back on Danny's nightstand and walked out of his room. As she went down the stairs, her mind wandered back to her conversation with Vlad.
If Vlad thinks that mixing Ghost cores is a bad idea, then it might have truly been an accident. She mused. But if this alternate future has a heat core… how did it change? Which core absorbed which? Our Danny has an ice core… but what if the alternate Danny didn't start with one?
"Maddie?"
The sound of her husband's voice brought her out of her thoughts. Maddie looked to meet Jack's worried gaze, confused at her current state. He and the two ghosts were at the kitchen table, apparently in conversation while she walked into the room in a daze.
Maddie shook her head and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, just thinking through something." Her smile quickly disappeared, guilt creeping up in her chest. "How's Danny?"
"Still out," Jack told her with a frown. He turned towards the large wolf ghost sitting across from him. "Ethelwulf was just filling me in."
"It's more exhaustion than anything else," Ethelwulf continued sombrely. "Most of the bruises and burns he acquired from that fight have all but healed; the only reason why he's still unconscious is because he fixed that shield."
Clockwork said nothing, regarding the humans and ghosts expressionlessly before moving away from the table. Maddie was a little unnerved by the purple clad ghost, but Danny had once said he was a friend, and Ethelwulf seemed to trust him. Maddie sighed sadly, taking a seat at the table.
"He hasn't been sleeping well," she told the healing ghost. "Not since he put up the shield."
Ethelwulf frowned, glancing back toward the time master before regarding the mother. "Let's let him rest then," he said, changing the subject slightly. "Best fill everyone in together."
"Maybe you can help us out then," Jack said, scratching his chin in thought. "Most of our inventions have a failsafe for Danny's ecto-signature, but if Dan's ecto-signature is similar…"
Clockwork moved slightly from the corner of the kitchen. His red eyes found Maddie's, staring straight at her as Jack and Ethelwulf discussed possible ecto-signatures. Maddie held his gaze, awestruck at the power this ghost seemed to hold in that stare. The world disappeared around her, the faint sound of clocks in the distance drowning out the world.
As suddenly as it happened, the gaze disappeared and Clockwork floated slowly toward the entrance to the lab. Maddie watched as he made his way away from Jack and Ethelwulf, down the stairs; Maddie followed quickly.
"Clockwork?" she called, making the ghost stop in the middle of the lab. "Danny told us you took Dan in the Fenton Thermos the first time he faced him. Is there some way-"
"You cannot stop him," Clockwork cut across bluntly.
Flustered, Maddie stopped, looking at the back of the ghost with wide eyes. "What?"
"Any parent wants to shelter their children from harm," Clockwork told her sagely. "You mean well Maddie Fenton, but you cannot stop Daniel from growing up; from facing his fears. There are only so many things you can still protect him from."
Maddie frowned. "I don't understand."
Clockwork sighed, glancing back at the woman over his shoulder. "I know what you're planning – but we're running out of time. If you cannot figure how to separate their ecto-signatures, even with Plasmius' help, then you must be prepared to accept what Danny decides to do. Along with the consequences that come with it."
Maddie's mind reeled with the weight of Clockwork's words. She swallowed nervously, her response coming out in a whisper. "He's my son; how can I just watch as he throws himself into danger?"
Clockwork turned back, continuing towards the infirmary. "You don't," he replied sadly. The ghost turned invisible then, leaving the stricken mother in the middle of the lab.
:-=-:
... "Vlad?" His voice felt hoarse to his own ears.
"Daniel, there's no time!" the man yelled frantically as he freed the boy from the operating table. He heard the screams from further away. "It went wrong. You need to run, get out of here. I'll hold them – it – off to buy you time." The smell of ectoplasm and blood made him sick. "Quickly before –"
Vlad was tackled from behind from a white and black blur. Not wasting a second, he ran toward the exit of the lab. Suddenly, he felt something hit him from behind. With a shout, he crashed into the wall hard.
"Did you think you could run away from me?"
He looked up at the voice. It was his voice – except it was distorted somehow, more evil. His ghost half was different, hair on fire and skin blue. Phantom looked like those ghosts he fought over the last year – before everything. His body was shaking.
"Did you think you could throw me away Danny? After everything?" Phantom said, in the same strange voice. "Let me show you which half is disposable."
He met the blood red eyes of Phantom before he saw green.
Danny gasped as he awoke, startled from his most recent dream. Eyes shooting open, he immediately groaned at the too bright lights bombarded his senses. He brought a hand to his face, blocking out the light briefly, hissing slightly at his soreness as he did so. Danny stayed like that for a few minutes, taking in the smell of antiseptic and ectoplasm as he tried to shake the dream from his thoughts.
"What's wrong with me?" Danny asked, distraught. "Why now?"
"Both excellent questions."
Danny shot upright, wincing heavily, at the voice. "Clockwork?!" he exclaimed, confused. He looked around widely before he saw him, sitting in the chair beside the bed. The Time Master's face was hidden beneath his long silvery beard. His hands were folded neatly under his chin, eyes sparkling in small amusement as he watched Danny's slacked jawed response.
"Hello Danny," he said. Clockwork shifted the chair closer, letting it rise above the ground slightly as he did so. "Good to see you awake."
Danny blinked at the words before his brow furrowed in anger. "Where have you been?" he asked angrily, gesturing wildly. "Dan escaped days ago and you show up here now to do what? We could have-" Danny broke off, grimacing as a set of sparks went through his frame. He doubled over with a groan and closed his eyes as he breathed through the pain. The sparks subsided after a few minutes, but Danny sat hunched, breathing deeply.
"Easy now," Clockwork soothed, his tranquil voice made Danny's body relax slightly. "There's a lot to explain and best to do it all at once with your team present." Danny nodded, pushing himself back into a sitting position. Clockwork sighed, rising from the chair and drifted over to Danny's bedside. Once he was in front of the teen, he placed one of his hands on Danny's shoulder. "How are you feeling?"
Danny scoffed. "Like I was run over by a truck while I relived my worst nightmare over and over again."
Clockwork rolled his eyes at the response. "Fifteen year olds and sarcasm; I meant your energy levels. Apart from battling a powerful enemy, you also put more energy back into the shield. You've been out for a few hours."
Finally opening his eyes, Danny looked around the room. Mildly surprised, he realized that he was in the lab – more specifically the infirmary. Stark white walls lined with shelves full of first aid supplies surrounded them in the large room. There were tons of medical equipment all adorned with the Fenton logo. "What happened?" he asked in response. "I remember the shield being cracked, but everything else is a little hazy."
Clockwork sighed again, crossing his arms. "You insisted on fixing the shield and managed to do so by putting more of yourself into it. Unfortunately, you were also low on energy and passed out. Which brings us full circle to: How are you feeling? I know it's a question you tend to deflect, but humour me this once."
Danny cringed slightly, frowning in thought as he assessed himself. "I… don't feel as drained," he said after a moment, confused. Danny looked up at the Time Ghost. "If I put more energy into the shield, shouldn't I be feeling worse?"
"That's a question for Ethelwulf I'm afraid," Clockwork replied with a sly smile. "However, that probably means you can chance the stairs. Your friends will be here shortly and it's best to get everything out in the open." Clockwork picked up his staff, which Danny only noticed was at the foot of his bed, and gestured toward the door. "Shall we?"
Danny watched as Clockwork floated to the door, turning the knob. He sat up slowly, carefully standing before staring back to the Time Master. "Clockwork?" Clockwork hummed as he turned back to Danny expectantly. "You haven't shifted forms."
Clockwork raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling. "Perhaps you aren't as clueless as you seem." Danny ignored the jab and stared at his friend. Sighing, Clockwork gestured again towards the door. "Everything is as it should be – for now at least. I'll explain more upstairs."
:-=-:
"Danny! You're okay!"
Danny managed to turn from his spot on the couch before he was tackled by his friends and sister. He waved them off with a smile. "I'm fine." All three teens stood back and gave Danny an exasperated look. "Really!"
Sam let out a small breath. "Good," she said with a small smile. Before Danny could react, she hit him hard on the arm repeatedly. "What. Were. You. Thinking!"
"Ow!" Danny exclaimed, scowling as he rubbed his arm. He looked at Jazz and Tucker for any assistance, but neither seemed to want to get in the middle of whatever tirade Sam had planned. "Seriously?"
"Danny you passed out," she gritted out, violet eyes blazing. "In the middle of class, then decided to go off and face an evil version of yourself when he attacked." She crossed her arms and sent the boy a withering glare.
"I think Sam's trying to say you scared us," Jazz said, frowning disapprovingly. "Thankfully Tucker managed to get to me in time to sign you out of school before we went into lockdown. It took ages to get through to Mom and Dad."
Danny sighed guiltily. "Yeah, if it wasn't for Ethelwulf and Clockwork, I don't think I would have gotten out of there."
As if on cue, Ethelwulf walked in the Fenton's living room, quickly followed by his parents and Clockwork.
"Hi kids!" Jack boomed as he sat down across from the teens. "Perfect timing."
"I thought you couldn't find Ethelwulf?" Tucker asked, confused. "Or Clockwork for that matter."
"Apparently, it's a long story," Danny said, eying both ghosts warily. "Now that we're all here, can you just tell us what's going on?"
Ethelwulf chuckled, sitting on the couch and faced Clockwork with amused eyes. "I told you he'd be all business."
Clockwork said nothing, waiting until the humans settled before he floated toward them. He inspected his staff, frowning slightly, then at the wall clock across from him. His old frame hunched further, floating down toward the ground and put his staff out in front of him, using it as a cane. "What would you like to know?"
Danny frowned, realizing now how frail Clockwork looked. "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.
Clockwork smiled sadly. "Have you ever heard of a paradox?" he retorted. Danny shook his head, while Sam, Tucker and Jazz all nodded. "A paradox, in regards to time, is when a situation contradicts the natural order of time. It can be an event, a person or thing that doesn't belong. I see time like a parade, from above; whenever I sense a paradox – I intervene to move time away."
"Why?" Maddie asked.
"I control time," Clockwork said simply, turning towards her. "Except time is not a simple concept for any being, especially humans. It moves in all directions. When a paradox occurs, it stops the parade; time gets backed into fewer and fewer pathways until it's forced to go in one direction." Clockwork turned toward Danny, looking at the boy's face to see if he understood yet. "Paradoxes, unfortunately, are my weakness. As the timelines dwindle, so does my grip on time and my powers. My form stops shifting, I lose the ability to see all the possible pathways; It is increasingly harder for me to start, stop and manipulate the timeline."
Danny's eyes widened, finally connecting the dots. "You're not shifting because of me," he said, guilt and regret in his voice. "You're losing your powers because of my future self and the alternate timeline."
Clockwork chuckled. "I wish it was so simple." When Danny shot him a confused look, he continued. "When I saved you and your family, I created another paradox by removing Dan Phantom from the time stream."
"Wait – another paradox?" Jazz asked incredulously. "What was the first paradox?"
Sam gasped. "We created the first one," she exclaimed, looking at Tucker with wide eyes. "Remember? We jumped straight into a future where we didn't belong."
"No," Clockwork answered. "Dan Phantom created the first one by interacting with you, Danny. Unfortunately, this many paradoxes have limited my view on time as it unfolds. One paradox I can deal with – two have sadly created more dead ends. Which reminds me; The dreams you've been having."
"Frostbite told us," Ethelwulf explained, when all humans looked at him confused. "Though, Clockwork suspected as much after you faced Nocturn."
"Nocturn?" Danny asked, confused. "What does he have to do with anything?"
"I asked Nocturn to investigate a hunch," Clockwork told the wide eyed teen. "When you faced Dan in the alternate future, he fused a time medallion within you and then took your place within your time. That created the first paradox. What he didn't realize is the ramifications of that action." His expression softened slightly, observing Danny carefully. "Time Medallions are exempt from my powers of controlling time, but not time itself. By fusing one with your core and leaving you ten years in the future, it started to solidify your place within a new time stream. Those dreams you've been having? Glimpses of the future you erased as well as possible outcomes of what's to come. Nocturn confirmed it when you two clashed earlier this year.
"However, while that timeline has been erased from the main time stream, a piece of it still exists within Dan. I removed him from time, meaning that my powers no longer affect him -just like they no long affect you since a part of your core assimilated to a different timeline. One that no longer exists."
"What…" Danny said breathlessly. He put his head in hands; it was too much to take in.
"Since that battle, how many times have you moved through time without one of my medallions?" Clockwork asked sympathetically. "How many times did I have to forcibly manipulate time around you?"
Danny stayed silent; mind reeling as he went through the questions Clockwork was asking. He didn't dare look at his friends or family.
"The time medallion, even though it's now out, is a relic of time Danny," Clockwork continued. "It doesn't follow a linear path. Its power shows itself unpredictably. It's why I was able to stop time around you on Fear Island, transport you to and from the past into multiple timelines without needing to use the medallion, and yet still was able to stop time during your fight with Dan last year. It's also why you did not see any of these glimpses until the paradox was upon us. You can see parts of it in random orders, sense wounds before they happen. You and your future self are the centre of this paradox Danny – time cannot move forward until you face each other."
"Hold on," Maddie said slowly. "You said you couldn't see past this paradox – how do you know Danny has to face the evil Phantom?"
Clockwork regarded her for a moment, red eyes scanning her before turning back to Danny, head still in his hands. "The last thing I'm able to see clearly is Danny and Dan facing off – but I'm not the only one who can see possible outcomes right now. In fact, I don't believe that my account for the future is as far we can see."
All eyes turned to the teen with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Finally looking up at the Master of Time, Danny sighed. "I've seen it too," he confessed reluctantly. "Multiple different times where we fight – Actually, I think we just lived through one." Danny shuddered slightly in remembrance. "I saw his creation. I've seen him escape multiple times…" Danny swallowed, silent again.
"Which prompted you to put up that shield," Ethelwulf said pointedly. Danny nodded. "Danny, you're powerful enough to keep that shield up without using your core energy. If what Clockwork said about the Time Medallion is true, your core might be feeling the effects of these dreams or these phantom injuries."
Danny hummed, agreeing with his mentor. "Wait – Clockwork said I put more energy into the shield. How come I feel okay?"
Ethelwulf frowned disapprovingly. "The fight between you and your future self drained quite a lot of your base powers, which helped balance your extensive use of your core powers from the past few days. Now that you've regained some energy, your base powers unconsciously switched with your core powers in that shield as a way to help you recover your energy. It's probably wise to continue to use your base powers with the shield unless there's a larger threat upon us." The wolf ghost turned to Clockwork before back to Danny. "You said you've seen multiple visions of Dan escaping?"
"Had another one this morning," Tucker supplied worriedly. "In the middle of class."
Danny felt his parents' eyes move to him in concern and possibly exasperation. "Yeah," he said softly.
Ethelwulf moved to the boy, trained yellow eyes scanning carefully for any injuries he could have missed. "When did he actually escape Clockwork?"
"This morning," the time master replied with a frown.
"And how many times have you seen him escape?"
Danny sighed. "About six or seven. I lost count."
Ethelwulf frowned in thought, looking between Clockwork and Danny expectantly. "Were there any indications that last vision was the one from this future?"
The boy in question frowned, his eyebrows furrowing as he thought back. "I was awake with this one?" he supplied.
"There weren't any sparks this morning," Sam said, frowning slightly. "He just … fell over."
Danny hummed in agreement. "That's true; most of the other visions I had affected my core powers. That one just… happened."
Ethelwulf stared at the halfa in front of him, before looking toward Clockwork. Clockwork gave a slight nod, indicating his acceptance and Ethelwulf continued. "Danny, you need to take it easy for a bit; you're going to need your powers at full strength before you can face Dan again."
Danny nodded, not trusting his own voice. The world felt like it was taunting him, showing him these glimpses of time. Suddenly feeling overwhelmed, he stood, feeling all eyes move toward him. "I'm going upstairs," he said quietly.
"Danny –" Jazz called out to him, but he shook his head, cutting her off.
"Just a little tired," he said with a small smile. It didn't reach his eyes. "Let me know if there's any trouble." He walked out of the living room, still feeling the concerned gazes of his friends and family as he made his way up the stairs. Finally reaching his room, Danny entered it hastily, leaning against the back of the door as he closed it with a soft click. He let out a shuttering breath, as the conversation that just happened washed over him again. Clockwork losing his powers? Seeing the future? Timelines? Dan?
Dan.
Danny frowned at the memory of his evil future came to mind once more. Going into that fight this morning was stupid, sure, but it made him realize something- Dan wasn't holding back. When Danny faced him after he returned from the future, Dan was reserved, calculating to make his plan move forward. Now? It was like the evil spectre was playing with him. Danny sighed, staring out into his room.
"What are you after?"
:-=-:
Power flooded his veins as he ripped through another Ectopus, absorbing their energy with fervour. As the poor ghost disappeared, lost to the mass of the ghost zone, Dan's aura shone brighter, relishing in the excitement.
He floated toward the edge of the floating rock nearest to him, hearing in the distance the vague screams of terror from a distance. He smiled cruelly – it truly was great to be out of that thermos. Brow furrowing, he turned quickly, ecto-blast at the ready before he dropped the attack. A mirror image of himself floated above him – a little worse for wear- echoing the power hungry demeanour. He smiled, feeling the duplicate rejoin him and giving him the memories it carried with it.
"Well now," he said quietly, chuckling darkly. "Seems like the old me has some new tricks – and allies." He paced up and down, thinking about his next move. "If he's able to keep that shield while fighting, then his power levels must have improved somewhat…" he stopped, staring out to the Zone in thought. "Perhaps I should divide his attention." He smiled again as a plan formulated in his mind. "I can't wait to watch as his world falls apart."
:-=-:
Valerie slipped the blaster's core back into her main bazooka with a grin. Flipping the switch, her smile widened as it hummed in response. Switching it back off, she threw it over to her already large pile of weapons on the table as she grabbed another smaller ecto-gun from the pile beside her. She needed everything in tip-top shape to face off against whatever attacked Amity today.
With a frown, she turned back to the TV as it ran a repeat of the ghost attack from earlier. Phantom 'saved' the town from a ghost attack by putting a giant shield around the city. That he put up. "Probably more of his dirty tricks," she muttered, cleaning some ectoplasmic build up from the gun she was working on. An image of the Ghost Boy falling and hitting the shield graced the screen as Lance Thunder speculated some sort of hair-brained theory.
She winced as it was shown again; that was probably fifteen feet, twenty tops. For the Ghost kid to drop out of the air like that – his opponent certainly packed a punch. Usually he was flying off with some stupid smile or quip on his lips after battles. This? This was different.
Valerie inspected the gun, making sure there was nothing out of the ordinary before she hunched forward and studied the footage. Everything about this fight was opposite from what she's seen from the spook. Even from afar, she can tell there was no banter – every move he made was calculated. He never fought with a team unless he needed to and whoever those two ghosts were, well, it was testament to their strength to see them just disappear like that. Valerie had only seen Phantom fight like that on two occasions: The Ghost King and last month… when they faced the mayor.
The dark skinned sighed as that thought crossed her mind. When she said knowledge was power, she didn't mean the knowledge that the mayor was a ghost. And possibly a criminal mastermind who almost murdered a young girl. Definitely a manipulative son of a –
Ding Dong
Startled, Valerie looked up from her spot on the sofa to the piles of weapons across the small apartment. She cringed, scrambling upright and grabbed the blanket on the armrest, throwing it over the couch. "Just a second!" she called, looking around frantically for something to cover the table as the doorbell rang again.
Seeing the pile of lab clothes at the foot of her father's room, Valerie tossed it onto the table, jumped over one of the table chairs and stood in front of her door. She took a deep breath to centre herself before opening the door slowly.
Valerie gasped; in front of her stood a girl, no more than 12 in a baggy sweatshirt, red shorts looked up at her through giant blue eyes. Her long jet black hair was covered by the red beanie, poking out a bit in the front.
"Dani?" Valerie asked, dumbfounded at the young half ghost girl in front of her. "When – how?"
Dani smiled shyly. "Hey Valerie," she said with a wave. "Mind if I stay with you for a while?"
Well looks like this month is just flying by my friends. Anyone else been feeling a bit too hot lately 🔥 or is it just me? Any whoooo lol, I love that you're back visiting me again and as your humble host all I ask is that you have a blessed day and week ahead. Also I decided to try a new setup for my posts this week, Let me know what you think, I really like it and I may keep it going forward :) .
Also, if you'd be so kind check out my other social media as well as becoming a $1.00 patron on my Patreon. Your support really is a huge help my friends. Now let's check out my thoughts on last weeks questions...
Tuesday, it's just a thought but why do we yell "Heads Up" when we mean for someone to watch out or duck lol? One would think and it happens so many times that when we yell this the person simply places mainly their head right in the path on the on coming what ever and get hit, it's so weird. Do you yell this or do you use some other phrase to keep folks from being hit with things?
Thursday, recently I've found a number of new at least for me channels to follow on YouTube and it's great. I've been looking for new content after doing a bit of a purge of what I was watching before. The one that I just spent a few weeks binge watching was a creator called Dhar Mann. The vids can be a bit cringe lol but I do agree with the messages he's putting in each one. Honestly I think many people no matter the age or anything would profit from being reminded of small life lessons that we know and carry with us, but just seem to forget as we go in with our lives.
Sunday, Thought Provoking Questions 11 -15. Check out previous posts for both previous questions and answer's...
11. When I help others I do my best not to do it for a reward or thinking what's in it for me. Yet, I'm sure I have sadly only helped someone if they can help me in return. I think this happened more when I was younger and not so much now.
12. My greatest challenge is doing things without fear of failure or rejection. I am a people pleaser and I don't like confrontation. So it's taken a long time for me to find a voice and stick with it. Even sharing my work for the longest time was a big NO for me.
13. For me I guess I know when its time to keep holding on when there is something to hold on to. Mainly in relationships I'd say. It's time to let go when others have clearly let go of you and consider you an option and not a priority.
14. I define success when you can do something and know you put your all into it. The result for better or worse may not be what you were going for but if you end you feeling accomplished and know at least you tried then I'd think one is successful.
15. This question reminds me if a Nickelback song. If some one could tell me when I was going to pass away there is no way id want to know that. Id simply obsess over it and then what time I had left would be waisted.
Let me know what you think and pass the thought along my friends 💛.
Stay well and safe Inter World 💗.

Tuesday, the new Coming to America film. I haven't see it and in all honesty I most likely won't. Not at all do I think it looks bad, nor is it because of who's in it. I love that they got a lot of the original cast. It's just that films of this sort just haven't been catching me over the years. A sequel or prequel to an old film just kind of reminds me that the film industry has no new ideas and just keeps thinking that if they slap a nostalgic name on something that everyone who knows of the original product will love it. I may check it out down the road but it will be awhile.
Thursday, so Bruno Mars new clothing line, it looks pretty cool for the fellas I'm not going to lie. But I think he looks good period lol. He's my favorite artist right now. But the cloths look nice, comfortable and very call backish. I think it's perfect for his style and how he does his music, as well as fitting in perfectly with his new Silk Sonic single.
Sunday, mods in Minecraft in particular the Pokemon mod, what are we thinking? I recently got into watching a channel called Viper Girl and the young lady plays Minecraft mods of all types but there is a Pokemon series she started and I think it's an interesting mix of two franchise. I actually might not watch too much due to her not really knowing how to play Pokemon even thought I love watching her do her Minecraft thing. You know it's like when you watch someone play a game that you love playing and just want to take over if or when the person you're watching just isn't doing what you would do... It's like that lol; it's nothing against the person. Yet outside of that I would play this mod if I got the chance.
Let me know what you think and pass the thought along my friends.
Stay well and safe Inter World 💗.

Man, I don't know about you guts but nature really flipped the summer switch with force where I live, it's freaking hot 🔥 lol. Anyway I hope you are all doing well; ready to start a new week with new possibilities. Do me a favor and find me on my other social media's by using the link that will be down below and keep on smiling my friends. It does more for us all than you may know. Here are my thoughts on last week's questions...
Tuesday, so I saw an ad for the game Sky and just from it's look knew it was made by the same folks who made the game Journey, I so want to play it. It looks beautiful and the story looks pretty nice.
Thursday, so the phrase Running Late came to mind and I thought about it. I guess we say it due to once we realize we're late we do begin to rush around so we're not so late that its pathetic lol. I know me I'm the type to be on time I hate it when I'm late. Yet I have a section of my family who has made a career out of being late lol. I guess different strokes for different folks.
Sunday, watching movie series on TV and hardly ever getting to see the full collection drives me up a wall. For example the Mission Impossible films 4 - 6. Why don't they play movie 5? I mean it's a continuing story and they only play movies 4 and 6, makes me so annoyed. Or with the James Bond series. I just luckily got to record Skyfall after having Casino Royal and Quantum forever. So now that I have the third film when will if get Spectre... Lol.
Let me know what you think and pass the thought along my lovelies 😎.

Man, this month has been so busy. Trying to keep up with my work and you guys and gals. Caring for my mom and all the back and fourth with writing projects, it's just crazy. Anyway, hello my lovelies 💜. I hope your weekend left you feeling recharged a bit and let's dive into this final week of April. Check out my channel, become a $1.00 patron and do all the good stuff for me, your support means a lot, my Link Tree link is down below. With that here are my thoughts on last weeks questions...
Tuesday, I asked about artists boycotting music award shows like the Grammys. So I think I agree with such artists like the Weeknd and other's who have made this decision. I'm sure most of us have noticed much like movie/TV awards shows that often if it's not the same persons winning its persons that the mass public may not know about. Also, in many case's in my opinion, the critics stamp of approval means very little when it comes to my tastes in entertainment. I really don't pay attention to them. So, yeah until these organizations really award the talent that has been over looked then I feel it's right not to worry about their opinion on their music.
Thursday, so with all the MCU streaming shows that are out or coming out as well as the films gearing up again, will they please just release the Black Widow movie already. Its been So long in promotion and such I really sadly keep forgetting about it. I want to see this film finally and place it along side the rest of the MCU films once and for all lol.
Sunday, this was another random thought situation and it just came to me why do we even equate Hell and freezing? Saying its as cold as Hell or when Hell freezes over, I guess in the later phrase we of course equate this with things we would never do or think would never happen. But cold as Hell still tickles my bran as to why we say it. Well I guess this is why I posed it as a random thought.
Let me know what you think my friends and pass the thought along.
Stay well and safe Inter World 💗.

With that here are my thoughts on last week's questions...
Tuesday, are we still hyped for the current and upcoming MCU properties? My brother keeps saying we're in a new start up phase kind of like when everything kicked off with Iron man. People are already questioning Wandavision and why it looks like an old Bewitched show lol and more. I think like most of us now it's up to the individual as well as to the characters that are left, whether or not the MCU will continue to have an impact on fan's. We'll just have to see I think. I probably will check out each show or season after all the episodes come out so I can binge it all and then make up my mind.
Thursday, so it's said that Kim and Kanye are at this time divorced. I really could care less about both of them, I'm not a fan of either but my mind goes to the kids and any possible issues they may now face. At least for the kids sake the Kardashian show is done for now at least so they don't have to worry about growing up with camera's in their faces like their mother did or rather their aunt's. Over all I'm not shocked it ended I'm actually surprised it lasted as long as it did.
Sunday, thus is interesting a reboot if the show Sex in the City. So I guess it will be looking at the sex lives of the kids now or something lol. I have to say I am a fan of thus show, I just think it needs to be left alone at this point. I mean really what are they going to be addressing at this point in a show like this if it's still centered around the lives of these women minus Samantha. The show had a good run, they got 2 movies out of the deal; it's time to move on. Plus I'm sure like with most things the fan base has moved on as well. Yet I would still check it out.
Let me know what you all think and pass the thought along 😘.
Stay well and safe Inter World 💗.

Hello hello again InterWorld, and how are we doing today? I hope you are all doing well and if you're not please do stay strong for better days will come again. Last week I introduced my new type of question calls "Totally Random Thought" and I'm so glad you guys seemed to like it. I have more coming soon. Do me a favor and take a gander at both my YouTube channel and Patreon if you haven't yet. I think you'll like what you see. Come take part in this months theme "Bunny Hop" if you become a $1.00 patron and receive a special gift/message to share 🐰. Now let's get to my thoughts on last weeks questions shall we...
Tuesday, I asked if you guys had kept up on either the recovery of Tiger Woods or Ashley Judd. Both had very bad accidents back in February and seem to be recovering okay. I haven't seen too much on Ashley Judd since she posted some pics of her taking her first steps. But it was said that Tiger Woods would be going home but that he still has a long way to go. I hope they both are safe and well.
Thursday, this was my first question of this kind under random thoughts and I asked about looking at the time and always seeing the same time when you do. A lot if the time I see either my own or my families birthdays for some reason as well as 9:11 a lot. I don't know why it happens so much I just know that it does. Also I know this seems to bother some people but to me I've just worked it into my routine and think of it as normal now, but it is still weird.
Sunday, I asked about when major celebs step away from the spotlight seemingly out of nowhere. I do have some actors and actresses I've noticed that I don't see any more. I do wonder some times why they left but in the grand scheme of things I figure it's because they wanted to. Some leave for their families others because they aren't getting the big roles anymore and even other's because they don't want the roles they're being offered due to maybe age. I think what I see from it the most is the loss of better more talented celebs and then being stuck with the left over one's. But that's just how things go I guess.
Let me know what you think my friends and pass the thought along 😘.
Stay well and safe Inter World 💗.
