#DP headcanon

[fanaroff]

I find the idea that Sam and Tucker are neurodivergent but Danny is neurotypical funny.

“What’s your conditions?”

Sam: I’m inactive-ADHD, ultra-recyclo vegetarian not because of texture reasons but my own beliefs (maybe some texture issues too), and Goth. I’ve got my specific hyperfixations based specifically around things my mom wouldn’t like that I do. This is partly due to my Oppositional Defiant Disorder caused by my ADHD. I’m also chronically dead inside.

Tucker: Auti-HD baby, gotta have that Too Much for Too Fine Tuck, this is my comfort PDA her name is Linda. I coded her specifically for *devolves into hour long info-dump about technology* I also only eat meat as a safe food and refuse anything else.

Sam & Tucker *pointing to Danny*: This is our emotional support neurotypical. He used to have his life together, got good grades, was a little genius, always came to school on time, only had one hobby that wasn’t playing games, and was on the road for a scholarship. He didn’t need meds to function at the time.

Danny: I’m dead now :)

“You mean dead inside? Like depressed?”

Danny: :)

DPXDC CFAU Headcanon: Ghostspeak Edition

Ghosts in the Infinite Realms who saw Jason and Danny together called them "luzdra", a term in ghost speak that directly translates into the words "shared soul". It's literal definition is; "two ghosts with a bond so deep that it was as if they had split their souls in half and given one to the other", but in general it just means two ghosts with a profound, indescribable bond.

Luzdrus is the singular form of the word, and refers to only one ghost in the bond. While "luzdra" is plural and either refers to both of them together, or the relationship as a whole. It depends on the context of the conversation and who they're saying it to.

There is no romantic, platonic, or familial connotation behind the word. It just means "someone who shares a deep bond with someone" and can be between anyone.

It also does not mean soulmate, and if you say that you'll be corrected. Soulmates implies that their bond was destined by the universe, luzdra are two people who developed and built that bond themselves. It's a relationship forged between two (or more) people.

Some of Danny's rogues -- like Kitty and Johnny, who might've seen the two together and are possibly luzdra themselves -- still call him 'luzdrus' even after Jason's disappearance from the Zone. Danny doesn't know how to feel about it.

Hey hey, DP gang! I had a question for a head cannon. It's a stupid thought that hit me but, what ice cream flavor do you think Danny would eat as Phantom? I feel like he would eat some bizarre shit for the lols.

[absolutely-esme]

It actually kind of makes sense that Danny Phantom is able to keep his secret identity

Yes, I know he's terrible at lying and hiding things, but he has the advantage of his secret being so bizarre that it basically keeps itself.

There is no way to logically deduce that a ghost can also, simultaneously, be a living person if you don't already know.

There's no reason for anyone to suspect that a ghost is not just a ghost.

No one has any reason to think that Danny Phantom even has a secret identity, and the easiest thing to hide is something that no one is looking for.

So, even if people can tell he's hiding something, there's no reasonable way for them to figure out what (unless they actually see him transform, like Jazz).

[puppetmaster13u]

Some of my headcanons for the Phantom siblings.

Both of them have freckles, but Ellie has hers in human form and Danny has his in ghost form

Ellie went as Phantasm while she was off journeying before deciding on the first name Ellie, in which she started going by Ellie Phantasm

Dan had to do community service for the first few years he was out of the thermos, and actually helped clean up both Amity and other ghostly areas where the veil was thin

Danny takes more after his mom body-type wise as he ages, while Dan visibly took more after Vlad and Jack, and Ellie is something inbetween

Ellie discovers she can go goop at will and use it to shapeshift slightly- the moment she saw spiderman comics with venom it was all over for the other ghosts

Danny's wail is more of a scream with the underlying sound of machinery humming and crackling electricity, while Dan's is more of a roar with an underlying rumble of fire and crash of a cracking glacier

Dan's human form has surprising long hair, which Ellie (and Jazz) likes to braid- Clockwork was the one to teach him how to braid his own hair

They get matching tattoos on their forearms as adults that forms a constellation when put together (they also have small matching flower ones with Jazz)

All of their blood glows in the dark, even in human form. They use this by popping their bones and jokingly shaking each other until they glow like a glowstick.

Their eyes also reflect light, but that's more of a liminal thing shared with all amity parkers

Danny has a space core, Ellie has a moon core, and Dan has a sun core They discover they can combine the strength of their abilities while messing around one day and go feral

[millieueu]

I once thought of something really funny

Yknow how Danny has ice powers? I have this hilarious headcanon that whenever Danny sneezes, he sneezes out ice and he ends up freezing stuff.

Sounds really funny XD

[dnpanimationstudioclone]

Rewrite idea

Considering how Danny became a ghost, I can imagine he'd have developed a bit of electrophobia(fear of electricity)⚡️

TW Flash, mentions of trauma, panic attack and seizures.

He was ELECTROCUTED and good chance probably saw his own life flash before his eyes and ended up half dead and experienced ALL that as a 14 YR OLD! Its safe to assume the boy's got some trauma from that.

I can imagine the experience made him far more wary of things with electricity, not to the point that he's afraid of using electronics or other things with electrify but far more careful, like staying away from exposed wires, would avoid adding too many plugs into an outlet, getting outlet covers, wouldn't go into the Lab alone and if he did wouldn't be in there too long, etc. He could've even developed a fear of thunderstorms due to fearing he could get struck by lightning⛈️ ⚡️

I can imagine he'd also be shaken from things like bright flashing lights, similar to the flash he saw from the accident. Could even end up having things like panic attacks or even seizures due to the incident.

I can imagine villains like Technus and Vortex would be the biggest for him to handle as their powers could trigger his trauma far more than the other ghosts, Technology/electricity, weather/storms. A lot of ghost attacks look like shocks, I can imagine that could shake him up.

People who've been electrocuted can end up with all sorts of long term physical and mental damage and while I can imagine Danny becoming a ghost ended up lessening the damage he'd normally experience as a human(good chance it saved him from becoming a full ghost) I can imagine damage was still done to him, in ways he might not even realize himself. I think it'd be an interesting thing to dicuss and try to tackle if DP ever came back.

What do u think? Do you think Danny could have trauma from becoming Phantom? I'd love to know💖

[the-game-spirit]

oh, I just had a neat idea

so you guys know how we recorded the 'sounds' of the planets and other objects in the solar system?

what if ghost speech has a unique sound for every ghost, and the sounds of the solar system is dannys?

he can sound haunting and endless like the sun or jupiter, or bizarre like the saturn, or discordant like ganymede

[kaezerdoodles]

Hear me out- Reworking the Ghost Zone to be a cross between ATLA’s Spirit World and Pokémon’s Reverse World.

I have like a whole essay about this in my head explaining the pseudo-science and its purpose while tying in fandom ghost HCs such as obsessions and ghost cores.

[leafyeyes417]

Summoning fix it

Danny accepted being Ghost King when he was 20. Why 20? Because at that point his human half was looking more fae than human. At least he got that growth spurt and reached 6 foot 5. But the pointed ears, catlike eyes that glowed, fangs, and glowing freckles along with his height made him stand out.

Sam and Tucker, the two most liminal humans up till that point, were only better in that their eyes only glowed when emotional and that they didn’t have freckles. The trio had decided that they were more infinite realm denizens than living and they moved in to Danny’s new castle.

Accepting the throne was chaos. Especially with the observants constantly trying to butt in after he cut their power. They tried many things to keep him busy, including trying to bury him in centuries of old paperwork. Unfortunately for them Danny was not going to put up with that.

He sent out a message looking for any ghosts whose obsession was being a secretary. And there were more than he expected. After screening he chose a few and let the rejected ones know that he would set something up to help them later, but first he needed to straighten things out.

During all this Danny ended up summoned. He was annoyed that any regular old joe could just summon him. He was the Ghost King! He had more important things to do (even if it was just playing video games) than answer every summon request at other people’s whims. There were a multitude of dimensions out there, who knew how often he could be summoned?!

The trio quickly got to work and created a summon circle that first, allowed him to send someone in his stead, and second, prevented forced summoning if he declined answering.

Calling on more ghosts, he found one that grants wishes, and unlike Desiree, has no horrible consequences as long as a price of equal payment is made. He then wished all summoning circles to summon the ghost king from the point in time of his ascension be switched with his new one.

After that, he assigned one of the secretaries to be the one to answer the summons. He made a list of things to outright decline, and if they were unsure they were to call him and ask.

That’s how the Justice League ended up finding out that there was a new Ghost King. Constantine was particularly annoyed when he realized the switch with the summoning instructions. Luckily they weren’t on such a time crunch that they didn’t have the time to get the new materials needed.

Upon completion of the summoning, a female humanoid in a professional suit floated, and spoke “I am Penny, secretary of Ghost King Phantom. What is the subject of your summons?”

[dandey-lion]

So, time in the Infinite Realms is pretty warped. Some places it moves faster, some places it moves slower.

This is pretty convenient for Danny.

This is pretty confusing for the other heroes.

Danny, leaving in a portal: Alright everybody I got some ghost king paperwork to deal with I’ll be back in a sec

Heroes, doing their business: aight

Danny: Hey I’m back! Gosh paperwork is so annoying to deal with..

Heroes: ??

*Danny has an argument with Jazz or smby idk*

Danny, storming off: Don’t try summoning me!

Heroes: you two need to work it out

Jazz: Yeah we should. I’ll apologize when he gets back.

Danny: Hey guys I’m back! Sorry about that I was pretty upset but I’ve cooled down now.

Heroes: ???

Jazz: No worries! I’m sorry too.

Heroes: ????

Or: everybody consecutively forgot to explain the time warping to them. They’ll figure it out. Eventually.

[starry-bi-sky]

I am loudly pushing the batdad agenda i am loudly pushing the— DPxDC Prompt

“Woah. You look like shit."

Granted, that’s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; he’s not running on 100% right now either.

The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.

"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."

And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.

The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.

If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.

"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.

"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.

"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.

The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.

He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."

There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.

"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."

Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"

"Daniel? Is that you?"

His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.

Death-marks headcanon part 2!

This more goes in depth with Danny, will probably do Vlad later

Part 1

As mentioned before, Danny's "death" was by electrocution. Danny has the scar that never faded but parts of his limbs were also affected in the shock.

Electrocution can cause damage to the nervous system. Severity can span from temporary weakness or full on paralysis. Danny thankfully wasn't paralyzed but, his legs and arms were weakened (mostly on his left side).

Danny was able to heal, but not fully which is possible without death-marks. Danny wore leg and arm braces for a while, and did physio but I think by the time the show would "start", he would only wear braces when necessary.

This can surprisingly line up well with the canon, ya know with Danny being considered a "weakling" and "clumsy". Can also explain how Danny knows these martial arts and fighting moves, but is unable to really do them in human form because of his injuries.

I just thought it would be a fun detail to add between the differences of his human form and ghost form.

(may also just be projecting from the fact that I used to wear knee braces and go to physio after an injury I had when I was around 14)

[millieueu]

I have this hc that Danny has dimples, and they glow whenever he smiles

OMFG GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS TAKE THE FUCKING CROWN

Demon Twins HC

Damian and Danny have this thing they like to do when they really want to get out of something. it's turned into a bit of a game for them ever since they reunited.

They would start off by playing games, silly, harmless games that didn't really mean much. Things like, who could jump the furthest? Who could throw a knife harder? each time one of the twins one upped the other, it was a point in their favor. These points would later equate to something very important.

Ways to cash in a favor with one another.

Danny: remember last week how I managed to capture Killer Croc before you?

Damian: what do you want, Danyal?

Danny: I have an exam in English today and I didn't study for it, can you be me?

or

Damian: remember when you told me that you could hold your breath for thirty minutes and passed out at twenty nine?

Danny: you'll never let me live it down. What do you want?

Damian: father has asked that I attend a JLA meeting.

Danny: I'll get on the Robin suit.

No one ever notices. Years go by and the twins are never found out. No matter how crazy or weird the situation is, no matter how obvious it is to them, no one in the family can actually seem to tell them apart.

Not when Damian and Danny have an endless supply of colored contacts, not when the two were nearly identical twins who knew one another like the back of their hands. The twins simply switch places whenever they need, and no one has to know.
