A moment of consciousness before a coma

since my Sick!Danny Au (for lack of a better name) is practically all angst and gore, I figured I might as well share this mildly amusing fact (pulling out the big words) Danny bites, he’ll bite anything that smells or tastes like meat, at first it was terrifying to see him latch onto people with a force that could rip off limbs, and watch them scramble to get him off without taking a limb with him, but as they caught on and wore protection, he just sorta latched onto them, staring them dead in the eyes like a dog who knows full well what they’re doing is bad, and doing it anyway, as they try to shake him off cause “Dang it Danny I need to get to school, I just fed you, Mr. Lancer will kill me if I’m late again!”

Like this, also he makes a rubber chicken noises when he’s shaken like this

To make up for being absent for a full week, have two thingies, the first one is for the mad scientist Danny au, still working on his design btw, and the other for the sick Danny au

Oooo spoopy

Currently reworking Sick! Danny, since the old design was overly gory and took forever to draw, also changing up his story just a bit, so now he’s significantly more subtle 👍

oooo mind control

don’t worry he’s completely non threatening, he won’t eat you or add you to the collective, it’s fine just come here, trust him

Consequences

His story is not one with a happy ending

Just gonna dump stuff about my favorite au (my sick au)

First off, I'm probably gonna change the name to either something more poetic, or something more straight to the point and less connected to fluff,

Second, the "sickness" isn't actually a sickness, it causes the affected people's health to decline for a few days before picking back up, but it isn't actually a sickness

Third, Demi girls and Demi boys should be referred to as Gender Halfas in the Phandom, yes I know most demi girls and demi boys aren't perfectly halfway in and out, my own girlfriend is a demi girl (she/they for them btw) but I just think it's hilarious and fits our theme of puns and gender affirmation

I'm not gonna keep numbering these, I'll end up having two number 7s and completely skip over so many numbers, I know myself

Get ready for an army of worldbuilding paragraphs:

I realize that the way I set this up seems pretty sexist, but please I'm begging you, it's world-building, I spent forever watching horror/sci-fi movies and reading books to get a good grasp on how different hive minds work and took note of differences in how each gender orientation works as the monarch of a hive mind, heck I even studied the Taken from Destiny and Apothecary Gary from Amphibia. If you truly want to get mad, get mad at the media industry for making even organic hive minds with monarchs at the top (similar to ants) oddly sexist.

I may not be willing to do ten minutes of research for a school project and actually use it, but I'm fully willing to spend well over 48 hours collectively taking notes and studying hive minds for something barely 7 people are gonna see

I will refer to the "sickness" as S for now

S is actually a hive mind, how it assimilates is dependent on what gender (GENDER NOT SEX) orientation the monarch has

if they are nonbinary (outside of female or male, gender halfa's do not count as non-binary enough for S, though they are completely valid I am just lazy af and don't want to make 17,000 different approaches to hive minds thanks)

they will be chaotic and unpredictable, they'll assimilate everyone who gives their consent without malicious intent, and as many bigots as they can purely to put them at the bottom of their hive's food chain, they're fairly obvious, and give off cult vibes, but other than those typicals, it's anyone's guess as to what they'll do.

females will be more aggressive in their approach, assimilate as fast and as many as they can like they'll die any second, all in their hive's acting similarly to zombies, it's not hard to spot them and it's obvious from the moment their health picks back up.

males are fairly sneaky, quietly spreading their influence until it's too late, you either have to be incredibly observant or know the person very well to be able to notice, as well as not making it obvious who's the monarch after their hive is discovered.

The monarchs and those directly below them (assimilated partners and blood children if they have any) are the only ones affected by S capable of utilizing special hallucinogens that are a certain type of ecto to control those they have not yet assimilated or infected with S.

How do they use these hallucinogens to control people you ask? allow me to explain;

You know the fear gas from DC?

if you don't it essentially is utilized by one of Batman's rouges, Scarecrow, to distract anyone in his way, as it causes afflicted to become intensely paranoid, fearful, and hysteric, and can even be specialized to target certain fears, even ones the affected may not have previously had, like a fear of heights or a fear of the dark, though it can be cured.

it acts similar to that, though it is completely specialized to the person, made to order if you will, for some, especially someone the monarch has personal connections with it will target people's wants, giving them things they want, such as a sweet treat, or the promise of sleep if they just walk a little bit further, or just do this one thing. however if the monarch does not like them, or if they are resistant to temptations, it will target fear, anger, or sadness, usually attempting to activate the fight part of their fight or flight instincts,

If you break someone out of their hallucinations they will quickly come to their senses, however it will stun the monarch for 45-60 seconds.

Monarchs are prone to biting, this is for a variety of reasons, one of which is based on a practice some group performs, I don't remember who does it, nor do I remember the specifics, but the gist of it is that if another's blood is mixed with your own, or ingested you are significantly closer to that individual, another is preservation, when a monarch senses that S is about to leave their body, or that they are close to death they will attempt to pass it on to continue their hive, another is because ghosts are violent creatures by mortal standards because of their virtually indestructible bodies and one of the most common emotions to die around in large quantities is rage, and light biting and non fatal bites are both a show of trust and a show of respect, as it shows they will not latch on and go straight for the core, and that you will not attempt to harm them.

Halfa S monarchs are very aware of this and will do everything they can to show their respect loved ones via very light (by ghost standards, by human standards it's like gnawing on something absentmindedly kind of bite) bites on their hands or arms, never the neck or anywhere where there are vital arteries to avoid accidentally biting too hard and killing them.

As much as S monarchs are cunning and powerful, they also rely on instinct heavily, causing lots of purring when it comes to loved ones, and growling and hissing at disliked things, as well as random attacks and spur of the moment changes in activities

in order of most resistance to instinct to least resistance to instinct the monarch types go:

Non-Binary, Male, Female

gonna do a bunch of stuff on this later but for now Imma sleep cause I am tireddddddddddd
