Ectoberhaunt 2023: Science VS Magic

Dear Phandom new and old, sorry for the delay but this here is our 2023 theme and prompt list! Once again we've changed it up a little to make it a little easier on all of us, and to invite fun and mayhem Phandom wide! Prompts are once again Monday-Friday, with Friday being singular prompts, and weekends being (mostly) free as catch up days. The only real change is our new 'isekai weekend' on the 21st and 22nd, with two different sub prompts for the days. Isekai is a subgenre of anime in which a character ends up in a different place or world all together. It literally translates to 'otherworld'! The two prompts for this weekend are 'past prompt', where we want to see the Phandom use a prompt from either of our previous calendars. The other is 'portal shenanigans'. We highly encourage you to create crossover content and AUs you've wanted to play with. As always, our last prompt day is October 24th to make way for the Ectober Week event. This means our free days are the 1st, 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th, with the 25th-31st being @ectoberweekofficial's time to shine. Please tag all prompt fills as "Ectoberhaunt23", and follow the additional posting guidelines below!

Posting for this event begins October 2nd!

Down below are our written out calendar prompts (for accessibility) AND our posting guidelines. Check 'em out!

Post Guidelines

The following are the posting guidelines. Please follow them so we can reblog and share your posts without issue. We will also have this as a post available on our blog separately.

Tag all posts with “Ectoberhaunt23” so we can find it. If you do not use this tag, we may not find you.

Tag which calendar you're pulling from (“EH Science” or “EH Magic”), which day the prompt is for ("Day X"), and which prompt(s) you completed ("Eyes" "Teeth"). Example: #ectoberhaunt23 #EH science #day 5 #hunt Single day prompts, such as the ones on Friday, do not need a tag for which calendar it's for.

Put your fics under a readmore. Add a summary before the cut with a short preview, content warnings, and which prompts were used. Then, add a readmore no more than 150 words or 10 lines/groups of text under your summary. If you're using mobile, type :readmore: and hit enter to make a readmore. If you do not do this, we will NOT reblog your post.

Make sure to tag all common content warnings (blood, gore, death, drugs, body horror, existentialism, & vermin)

We will try to reblog every prompt we can. Feel free to @ us in the post too or send us a DM with the post!!

Feel free to shoot us an ask about rules/clarifications and any queries on prompts. Our discord is open as are our messages.

Here is a spreadsheet you can use to track your progress made by the talented @ajitated

Ectober Haunt 2023 - Day 3: White Crow - The Messenger

Just a little guy sneaking out to deliver a message

Anyway, let's see if I can catch up with the current Ectober! I've been meaning to get started for a hot minute there, but life has happened (and I may have bit off more than I can chew for the Botanomancy prompt, but that's between me and my hubris).

Midnight Snack

Read at AO3!

Late ectober fanfic, there might be more to come, I’ll see what I can do, I want to make sure is complete in AO3 at least.

*-*-*-*

Wes couldn’t believe his eyes, what he saw in the video was something so extraordinary he couldn’t even believe it himself!

It wasn’t the footage he was expecting about Danny Fenton, though that was something he could still try to find, right now, however, he was going to run back the video and record with his phone what he could, this was gold!

Maybe it hadn’t been the most brilliant idea, to sneak inside the school at night to check on the security recordings, he had seen the room earlier that day and thought that if there was any other place to find evidence to finally uncover Fenton as Phantom. It was just after ten, he could use a couple of hours to work on this.

If it had been anyone else, maybe they would never know where to look, he went back to the videos from the dates Phantom started to show publicly, the first-ever mention of Phantom - Invis-o-bill, pfft - had been reported back in their first year, along with a ‘food ghost’, he was lucky the situation had been at the school or the recordings would be difficult to check, so armed with the dates of the ghosts attacks, first those at school and then the ones outside but during school days, he started checking the videos.

At first, he had felt a bit angry after noticing that at a certain point some videos had been modified or cut out, maybe Foley had managed to erase evidence, sometimes some kind of interference or different event was happening in front of the ‘evidence’, but who else would have done that … - was that a ticking clock? Anyway, he couldn’t have gone through every tape, there must have been some ‘blind spots’ that Foley chose to ignore.

He had been looking into that when ‘speaking of the devil’, walked into the school just shortly after the janitor left. Of course, they had been caught on camera cleaning after the whole ‘food ghost’ incident, but after the trio left, only the janitor had stayed behind. So what was Tucker Foley doing back at the school?

According to the video, it was around 8 pm on the recording, Foley had accessed from behind the school and had gone to the trash containers that still had the loads of meat that Danny and Sam had picked up, Wes had noticed that Tucker had only been allowed to pick up the vegetables. 

Part of the recording showed that Tucker indeed got himself in the container and tried to find the best pieces of meat or at least the ones that were almost complete or less damaged, it was gross, Wes had never considered that the boy would do something like that, he knew he liked meat, but this was excessive even for him.

However, Tucker didn’t just get his loot and leave, no, the boy piled it up and then sat down against the wall while playing with his PDA until much later, Wes had fast-forwarded to the point where things changed. The scene got illuminated, he couldn’t see it, but he was sure it was the moonlight, especially after what happened right after.

Foley stood up, he put his PDA in his bag and then placed it somewhere else, then he removed his boots, glasses, and cap, once he was down to only his clothes, he looked up to the sky…

Wes couldn’t hear it, but he could tell there was something affecting the recording if the blurry lines were something to go by, was it trembling? Was it the wind? Was it a howl? Going by how Foley started to shapeshift in front of the camera a moment later, it was a howl. 

Foley seemed to be going for a dramatic change, twisting and bending while the change took form, he became bigger, broader, hair started growing on his limbs, his back popped his t-shirt to shreds, his face must have been the biggest change, the snout of the wolf that looked back to the container seemed really scary and filled with long fangs, he sniffled the air for a moment and then looked back to the pile he had dug from the container and then he was on all fours like a wolf would do, but bigger and very intimidating.

Wes saw him eat the meat with some strange fascination, he couldn’t tell if he was impressed or scared, it was amazing, even more so since he was sure not even his friends knew about this… Many things would be really different if they knew, so when he got back to the point where Tucker accessed the school, he pressed record on the screen of his phone...

As soon as Jasmine laid eyes on her brother, she knew he’d changed a great deal in the semester since she’d left for college.

He was hunched over in his hoodie, still as short as the day he died, shadows under his eyes and his face gaunt.

When he turned his head his hair didn’t quite move right, like gravity wasn’t as strong as usual. Not as noticeable as it was in his ghost form, but still there.

The fabric of his clothing seemed to ruffle when he was standing still, didn’t make a noise when he moved. His footfalls were silent against the wooden floors of their parents’ house.

Danny smiled when he saw her, too wide and too sharp.

He was colder than usual when Jasmine pulled him in for a hug, more bony, and for a second she could have sworn she wasn’t hugging anything at all.

“You look… different,” Jasmine mused as she pulled away. “More ghostly.”

Danny grinned again. “Well you know what they say about abysses and monsters. It was bound to happen eventually.”

Jasmine nodded wordlessly, pulling her little brother back into her arms. Her little brother who looked death in the face and came back. Her little brother who fought ghosts. Her little brother who was becoming more ghost than human.
