This is a fun reversal. Phantom’s character and perspective is so amusing.
Asj Johnson chapter 1 . 4/4
That’s a really cool-sounding prompt. This is going to be nice.
Phantom doesn’t realize what’s happened yet. I kind’a like the things he mentions in the description that shows his other-worldly thinking. His ‘everyday’ must be so different than what people would consider average. But then, some things are the same, too. Just, a little bit different. Like, the ghosts in the Zone are pretty much like people with an added glow and odd colors, so Phantom is a bit delayed in noticing human-ness for Jack, and still hasn’t noticed for himself yet.
I kinda like that he compares the Fentons to Technus. Makes sense, and is a bit amusing at the same time.
Aw, Phantom, shouldn’t have thought about looking at your hand. Wait... what color was his skin before this? In the show he still had peach skin in ghost form. Or maybe part of his panic is from being able to See his hand at all? (In a way this almost reminds me of a scene I’m wanting to write for one of my fics—if I ever get around to working on it. Danny has woken up to find his suit’s switched colors, like here, and I’m planning on him later looking at his reflection in a lake to see sea green skin and an impression of Vlad-ness. I think I’m afraid of writing the chapter, in fear of it not living up to my imagination.)
Hmm... I like him looking at his hand that way, but I wonder how the portal could create all the little intricacies that make up the human body. Is he really half human now, bones and all, or is he half human in an imitation type of way? It’s different for the show’s Danny, because ghosts are made up of ectoplasm, and that’s pretty much it. Though... then the portal would’ve needed to somehow erase his human stuff in ghost mode, because just having some goo stuck to him wouldn’t give all that fluidity he displays...
What were the Fentons Expecting to come out of a ghost portal? They just assume it didn’t work and had made a portal to China instead?
I wonder what happened with the glasses, if Jack was delayed for some other reason, and whether the uncertain laughter means something. ...It’s hard to tell with Jack.
So... They think he was just a random human who got stuck in the Ghost Zone? Weeell... since naturally occurring portals Do happen, I suppose it could’ve happened before. Quite a coincidence to happen across one human in the big Ghost Zone, though.
Oh, Jack mentioned about portals linking the worlds right after that. That’s timely.
“must’ve zoned out in the middle of man’s speech.” actually is kinda correct, but I figure you meant to have a ‘the’ in there.
I guess Phantom decided not to keep his ghostliness from them after all. He’d just told them the portal turned him human. Also... (sticks out my tongue) hey, you’re right, you really can see your own tongue!
Phantom’s creeping Maddie out. I don’t blame her. :P Though I also understand Phantom just talking about stuff that seems pretty normal for him.
“What was wrong with mankind?” is amusing to me. Poor Phantom has had no other human interaction to know what’s normal for mankind.
I’m also amused by Phantom’s reasoning about why the Fentons are just using words instead of... probably more violent methods of argument regularly used in the Ghost Zone. (If the Fentons really wanted to, they could of course do some karate and shoot ectoguns at each other, but of course Phantom doesn’t know this.)
Hmm... with him stumbling and trying to get up the steps and probably taking a long time to get very far, I’m starting to worry about those two (though, with how often I’ve been stopping to type something, it’s probably not been as long as it feels for me).
Phantom probably knows a lot about the sky from still liking astronomy stuff. Not too surprised he looks toward the sky or knows what ‘daytime’ looks like.
Wouldn’t have thought of it, but I guess it makes sense Phantom would only associate eating with big parties.
When you say “He’d heard people say that humans ate every day”, have you been using ‘people’ to mean any intelligent being in this fic? If so, this is the first time it’s stood out to me.
Poor Phantom, needing to eat once a week now and all. :P
Heh. Phantom just points to the basement door. Came from there. ...And then Jazz’s reaction. I’m guessing she’s assuming her parents have kidnapped some kid off the street or something. :P Wouldn’t be the Weirdest thing they’ve done.
Wait, what? Haha. Growing a kid in their lab. :P That’s even better than the kidnapped idea. Oh! And the response. “He must’ve wandered off while we were talking.” Totally sounds like they made a test tube baby.
Phantom’s comment about naming a kid ‘Jazz’. The name probably Would earn a strange look from me if I didn’t know it was short for Jasmine. Of course... Jasmine is itself an unusual name when I think about it.
Seriously? Maddie emphasizing ‘Earth’ of all words?
Phantom and miss music sound like siblings already.
Aw, poor Vlad. (I was just thinking about him a minute or two ago, too. Wonder what he’d think of this new halfa, and how long it’d take him to realize he was a ghost first, rather than human.)
Heh. Jazz reacting to Phantom wondering how he can tell if he’s hungry or not.
The return of the glass mystery. :P
Hmm... Phantom rolling his eyes and saying he won’t fall down the steps reminds me of when he was walking up them, and something he said made me wonder if he even knew that things like that can hurt when human.
“instead of his usual black glove” Do you mean ‘white’?
Jazz is pretty understanding about water tasting empty. Ectoplasmic food is normal for her, too. It’s just a neat detail. (although... when I was little, I used to hate drinking water for that same reason. Well, minus the ectoplasm part. I think I’ve finally gotten used to the taste, though... maybe. But some water tastes better than others.)
I’m surprised Jazz was so willing to let him drink the glowing green milk.
Jack sounds so enthusiastic when hearing about Human Stories. ...Maybe the Fentons won’t try to kill Phantom if he turns ghost?
Hmm, I’ve heard the phrase before about a stomach flipping, but I don’t think I’ve ever Felt that. Though, I guess nausea would be hard to describe. It’s a dizzy feeling, but also a feeling of food wanting to go upward, and sometimes your mouth waters. ...I guess stomach flipping is a simpler description.
I hope the pizza wasn’t Too mushy. Wouldn’t want it to taste frozen-microwaved.
“because you thought the Earth was more interesting that the ghost world”—should be ‘than’. Also not sure about the ‘the’ in front of ‘Earth’, but I’m not sure on that one. Since it’s capitalized, she’s talking about the planet and not ‘earth’ as in the ground (or ‘the stuff outside of the Ghost Zone’), and I wouldn’t think people would say “The Mars”. But when talking about the ground, saying “the earth” makes sense. Still not certain on it, though. Oh, also, Jazz seems to have accepted the existence of ghosts. ...when did that happen? She had seemed kinda adamant about them not existing for awhile in the series.
Maddie’s making it sound like humans are so fragile, talking about getting hurt easily or getting sick. :/ I guess it’s true from Phantom’s viewpoint, but humans can be strong, too. Wouldn’t want him continuing to think about them the way he had when Jack and Maddie were arguing.
Heh, the mention of sleeping being more time consuming than eating. Jazz had made it sound like a lot of eating, mentioning both big meals and snacks between, but, yeah... sleep does take up a lot of time. Hm, plus, add in school, and Phantom won’t have any time to do anything!
“and he’ll get full say in what he does, or does not want, you to do.” It should be “or does not, want” ...else it would be saying “he gets full say in what he does you to do”.
Hm, Would he really know if he’s full, though? Though, I guess that feeling’s different for everyone. For me, I know I’m full when food starts tasting bad. After that, the more I eat, the worse it tastes, until I just can’t continue. For my dad, apparently he throws up when full (though I haven’t seen him do so, so either he’s careful to keep himself from getting full or he’s embellishing some things).
They seemed to accept he’s a hybrid pretty fast, after just one little x-ray. I thought they were going to do several tests before making up their minds.
The end makes me wonder if Phantom could somehow be the son they never had. Sounds like Maddie hadn’t had a stillbirth, though, so it would only make sense as a ‘what could have been’ soul that was never used.
...That’s strange that your family has a birth order like that. Hm, makes me wonder if there’s a pattern on my mom’s side, but I’d never really thought about it. I guess having two kids was pretty common, but that’s going to be by choice. Also, another option for where ‘Daniel’ came from could’ve been that it’s a name Maddie had picked out if Jazz would’ve been a boy—a reserve name, which could‘ve been used for a second kid. I hear that type of thing a lot in fics, but I’d think a lot of people would have more than one name ready in real life. And, hope you get around to the possible sequel.
Ah! This so-called review turned out longer than I’d wanted. Sorry for all the rambling. ...maybe I should try cutting out some stuff, but maybe you’d rather see what my weird thoughts have been?
