Before reading AGIT id never actually fully considered that ghosts can just fuse with other ghosts, I guess I thought it was just a special case with Dan, outside factors lining up just right and all that. I think ghost fusion has interesting uses and implications I would like to know more of

Dan is the only ghost we've seen doing this which I think is interesting, technically you could argue Skulker and Technus fuse as well, but that I see as a mere teamup since they're both distinctly there are apart. "Proper" ghost fusion seems to end with only one combined entity

Is it a well known power ghosts have? Can all ghosts do it? How rare is it that this happens? How stable do most fusions turn out? How long do they last? Just how much of an outlier is Dan in this case?

Separate but related rambles, my own thoughts on this, and apolocheese for the fanon, but I tend to imagine Dan's core is just the two mashed together, strong and trying to make something whole but yknow, still ultimately gonna be fractured and cracked in some way, thus its capable of drawing more energy in and fusing with others, although they'll not be nearly as wholly apart of him as Phantom and Plasmius, as Clockwork didn't seem to effect his personality, more like a power up of sorts

I just like thinking it's something only Dan can really do, to the extent he does it, though I do enjoy other interpretation

Oh man I wonder what other ghost fusions would look like. Imagine Dan and Fright Knight or something. Ooo Dan and Frostbite? And of course other non-Dan fusions, man I love the potential here

I am porous to the world, a kind of joyful sponge for the affectations and interests of the people I love.

"But I find other people contagious. I have difficulty not mirroring cadence when talking to British friends. Three years in the South left me addicted to “y’alls” and liable to lapse into semi-drawl. I am porous to the world, a kind of joyful sponge for the affectations and interests of the people I love. It has been the work of my life to build slightly firmer boundaries around myself so that I can figure out where I end and the people I love begin."

. . . where does it begin? The thoughts, words, joys, and fears of other people enter us and become ours. They live in us from the start.

How To Fabricate A Graphene Oxide (GO) Thin-film Nanofibrous Composite Membranes By Electrospinning Nanofibers Equipment?

 GO has attracted the interest of many researchers for fabricating novel separation membranes owing to their smoothness, atomic thickness, good hydrophilicity, and tunable nanochannels or nanopores. However, GO membranes really show poor stability in water, especially fabricated on highly porous nanofibrous support. Pan and his group first synthesized GO nanosheets with large lateral size (>200 mm) by a newly developed method and successfully assembled them on a highly porous nanofibrous mat using the vacuum suction method. As shown in Figure, the nanochannels, formed by the interlayer spacing between adjacent GO nanosheets, enabled an ultrafast water permeability, which is claimed to stem from a quickly passing hydrophilic “gate” (edges of GO nanosheets or defects in the GO) for aggregation and the fast slip flow along the atomically smooth and hydrophobic carbon walls. Moreover, the GO TFNC membranes showed high rejection performance (nearly 100% rejection of Congo red and 56.7% for Na2SO4).
