The doctors, A and B, tend to not get along very well, but are willing to take a bullet for the Hero at any time.

However, this time around they couldn't, and now they face the struggle of having to work together to save the Hero's life.

Writing Prompt #1

A man in his late 30's dies of unforeseen circumstances, but finds himself unable to move on to the afterlife. The angel and demon who keep bugging him don't seem to have any answers, and Death is starting to get annoyed with being unable to do his proper duties. It also doesn't help that in his first week of being a ghost, he's late to his own funeral.

Literally. He's sitting in the front seat of the car transporting his body to the funeral, and it's been stuck in traffic for hours.

Danny Phantom Writing Prompt - Spirit Guide Dani

During her travels, Dani becomes a spirit guide to the afterlife for the ghosts and/or souls of lost, abandoned, and homeless children.

Feel free to write your own takes on this prompt or to continue from my take here!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Dani had seen and experienced a lot of things in her travels. Some were fun and interesting, like visiting the world’s largest corn maze, exploring New York, or learning from that one street performer in Reno. Others… not so much.

There were plenty of periods of monotonous travel, doing/acquiring the basic requirements for human life, and general interaction with people who’ll forget you the moment you’re out of sight. Ellie had done some busking, even some stealing— but, hey, a girl’s got to eat, and ghost powers meant she didn’t get caught.

She didn’t tell Template everything. Dani didn’t want him to lecture her, or worse, to worry. She didn’t want to be a burden. He worried enough when it was just about her being homeless or about her dubious health, and that was without everything else on his plate.

So… when she escaped another kidnapping, didn’t get enough food for the week, survived her first gang shootout, she just… didn’t say anything. It wasn’t like he needed to know. And when Ellie ran into other kids in similar situations… well.

Dani helped them when she could, but sometimes it was just too late. And, well, someone had to make sure they got to the afterlife okay.

Thoughts for Thursday

Imagine your character going somewhere for the first time.  Perhaps it’s their first day at a new school or their first day on the job. Maybe they’re meeting a friend’s parents and are entering the family’s home for the first time.  Where they go is up to you!

Here are some things to consider:

Why are they going to this place?

Do they want to be there?

What is your character thinking about as they enter the place? 

How are they feeling? 

What do they imagine the place will be like? 

Are they anticipating any problems or do they expect an uneventful time?

How are their senses being engaged? How does the place look and sound? Are their any unique scents?

Think of a place for your character to go, and describe their thoughts and feelings about going there and their impressions of the place. 

Tuesday - Two Characters

Characters A and B are at a wedding. This does not have to be the marriage of A and B.  One of them might be marrying another character, or they both might be observing the marriage of two other characters. One might be officiating the ceremony, standing as a member of the wedding party, participating only as a guest, catering the event, or filling any other role you can think of. The roles of characters A and B in this wedding are up to you.

The character officiating the ceremony asks, “If anyone has any reason why these two should not be joined in marriage, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.” 

There is a moment of silence and then B (or A) cries out, “I have a reason!”

What happens next is up to you!

Here are some things to consider:

What reason does B give for why the couple should not marry?

How does B feel when explaining their reasoning? Are they afraid, angry, guilty, gleeful, heartbroken?

How does A react to B’s behaviour? 

How does A respond to B’s reasoning?

How do other characters react?

Does the couple marry anyway?

Does the relationship between A and B change because of this situation?  Is it changed for better or worse?

Is this story a comedy or a tragedy?

Monday Monologue

Choose one of your characters, and have them tell a story in their own words. Try to get inside your character’s head, and write the piece from the first-person point of view.  

For an added challenge, pick a character whose perspective you don’t normally write from.

* Your story does not have to be a monologue. You can include other characters and as much or as little dialogue as you like.

Thoughts For Thursday

Does your character have a favourite photograph?

Write a piece describing your character’s favourite photograph and the thoughts, feelings and memories associated with it.

Here are some things to consider:

Who or what is in the picture?

Who took the picture?

How old is it?

What condition is it in? 

How does this photograph make your character feel?

What do they think about when they look at it?

Tuesday - Two Characters

For this prompt, Characters A and B do not have to be in a romantic relationship. They can be in any kind of relationship you choose.

Characters A and B are shopping at the supermarket.   A is playing with the shopping cart (climbing into it and expecting B to push them around, or pushing it really fast down an aisle and then suddenly letting go.  What A does with the cart is up to you).  Despite B’s repeated requests for A to stop before someone gets hurt, A keeps on doing what they’re doing.  Sure enough, A manages to get injured.

What happens next is up to you!

Here are some things to consider:

Is A’s injury serious or minor?

Does A require medical attention?

How does A respond to getting hurt?

How do other characters respond?

How does B respond?  Are they angry with A? Do they say ‘I told you so’? Are they panicked? Are they sympathetic?

What are the consequences of A’s actions?

Has the relationship between A and B changed because of this situation? If so, has it changed for better or for worse?

Has A learned anything from this experience?  Has B learned anything? If so, what was it?

Fun thought:

What if Danny is Ghost Prince because he died and was revived by the Infinite Realms itself. Pariah was just a placeholder while the Realms waited for Danny.

With his trinkets, oscar makes a replica of the lamp. Problem is, he doesn’t remember which one is the real one until someone takes it and it get bigger.

Kleptomaniac Oscar

Oscar is a kleptomaniac. He doesn’t notice when he does it. His aunt compensated this by getting beads, pretty stones, and other small things. He learned how to do crafts with small items and he sells them next to his aunt’s stall on market days.

This makes life interesting when he joins RNJR+Q at Haven. Lots of little things go missing, dust, scrolls, lien. When they go looking for them and ask Oscar to help them look he looks confused until they start describing small things. Then to their confusion he starts patting himself down. He pulls more out of his pockets than they’d realized was missing, including Qrow’s flask. He apologizes and explains what his aunt had done and asks them to keep an eye on him because he doesn’t mean to steal anything, he really just can’t help it.

Nora thinks it’s hilarious and likes to take him on walks near prejudiced people. Ren helps Oscar return most of the things he takes. Jaune and Ruby (and later Yang, Blake and Weiss) get small trinkets (of various price and durability) to leave around for him. The first time he empties his pockets to find fistfulls of dust flakes and painted nuts and bolts he freaks out and tries to return them. Yang just laughs and asks his favorite color and Weiss hands him a bunch of containers for safely holding small amounts of dust and proceeds to teach him about dust. In great detail. He also finds an odd amount of glitter packets and weird not quite gem things. Jaune teaches him about sequins. Blake, after seeing him look at his assortment of oddities, leaves spools of thread and lengths of yarn. An unusual amount of cloth scraps find their way around that no one will admit to. (Qrow). There’s also still beads.

Soon enough, small treasures are found around the house: patchwork kerchiefs with initials beaded into corners, glittery cloth bookmarks, bracelets and necklaces with beads and nuts and bolts, sequined wrist and ankle bands.

Rouge - Prompt Based

I’m a bit new here, and usually stay for art and any interesting pieces of fan-fiction that are related. Funny enough, it’s not really related at all. However, I’m feeling a bit creative to actually write something. A prompt that I found on TikTok and the ideas were just brilliant that I had to share them before my brain forgot them.

Content Warning: Murder, mild blood and gore.

Please notify me if I missed anything.

Rouge - A series of mysterious deaths linked to the color red leads a young detective into the deepest rabbit hole of her life.

The color rouge, specifically red rouge. Typically any kind of red or reddish-colored make-up that's used for tinting a person's cheeks.

However, in this context, it stained the victim's body. Her dress drenched, face frozen and petrified, their body methodically placed holding the infamous bouquet of poppies. Jewelry shining with each flashing light of the camera. Her feet dirty.

The medical coroner walked with his assistant trailing behind and arrived. My partner and I greeted them.

"To whom do I have the displeasure of, Audrey?" Benji asked. "We still haven't identified them yet but this marks the 4th victim." I stated before continuing to take pictures. My eyes drifting between each of the splotches of rouge littering the plaza. "The killer has been getting more bold lately."

"So, what'd ya got Benji?" My mentor, Larissa, questioned. Benji gave them a pointed look before starting.

While doc squatted down his assistant settled down the bags while Benji spoke. "Well, I can see there's no pooling of the victim's blood but her dress is soaked in it, suggesting they were moved. The gash to her neck, slightly cleaned as well. And they positioned them to hold the flowers as we’ve seen with past victims. Their shoes are missing as well.” Benji rambled. “Some bruising is present in the shape of a hand. Maybe we can get some fingerprints.”

Larissa turned to me. “Your turn, gimme a rundown.”

“The job seems a bit sloppy than usual, rushed even, which the killer might’ve been walked in on before finishing.” My head signaling over to the maintenance workers being given interviews. “The plaza is decorated in spots of rouge.” Larissa seemed satisfied. “We can check with cameras around the plaza to get a better view of our poppy killer. And a bit later with the local bars.” Larissa told me.

Benji's gloved hands pulled out the bouquet and examined it pulling out a paint card simply titled ‘rouge’ before handing it to his assistant to bag and tag it. He began to do some other tasks before starting up again.

"The time of death occurred between 4-5am but I won't know more until I've got them on the slab." Benji said. As he and his assistant began to lift and cart the body away.

Larissa began to trek over to the maintenance workers while I stayed behind to take more pictures before calling cleaners.

It won’t be long before the press are clamoring over us.

I don’t know if I’ll do continue to add to the prompt but I know if I did certain details may be subject to change.

The Zone is down.

It is a horrible truth, the destruction of home was inevitable and that doesn't lessen the pure hurt he feels during the final moments.

Every life, every death, the memories of many. All seal in a sphere of a fallen sky, in the soft palms of their king.

Their boy king leaves, bringing along his people, infinite in number and all sleeping, none the wiser.

It will take time to re-create their home, nothing impossible, however. The sphere in his hands, pulsing with life and humming with power, the child and successor of the Infinite Realms.

Many lives are lost, many are ended and every single one will remembered.

So when he takes refuge in a strange dimension, he receives care in their base in space, a room and slowly opens up.

It's only then that he allows himself to grief.

The ghost hung around for about half a day before they realized how many problems you actually had they try and leave, but your mind stops them from leaving you like having someone to share things with that can't rat you out to your family then the ghost realized how much you actually needed someone as you refuse to see a doctor because you insist that your fine, you start calling the ghost G, one day you block everything from G your thoughts your feelings your sight, G fought asking what was wrong what were you doing? They managed to break through and beheld the heart breaking side of the tips of your shoes hanging off the side of a building "kid,...what are you doin'"he asked softly you felt tears fall down your face "I...I just can't take it. I ju- I just I..I" I broke down sobbing, I leaned forward when a cold hand grabbed my wrist and I was pulled back away from the edge as G pulled me into a hug "please,I can't lose someone as special as you not now /please/ kid." I hugged him back as tight as I could. The next day I walked into a psychiatrists office with coaxing from G. It took a number of years and it wasn't perfect but I got better with my ghost by my side the entire time

One day, you’re driving along with a parent. As you pass a graveyard, they tell you jokingly “Hold your breath, you don’t want any spirits gettin’ in ya!” You roll your eyes and breathe normally, at least until you feel an odd tingling in your lungs. Immediately after, you hear a voice in your head. “Thanks kid, I was getting bored in my grave.”

Nommmmm nommm nommm (*^◯^*)
