#Ectobiological parenting can be tricky

Okay, everyone knows how Batman has had several crossovers with Scooby-Doo, so I propose this: Daphne is actually Wes's cousin and the only one who entertains his theories- assuming this is post-Zombie Island/Witch's Ghost where she actually encountered supernatural creatures.

that is so freaking intriguing, because even with the paranormal confirmed the scooby gang would still be trying to unmask the ghosts. But as characters they're actually capable of nuanced thought (unlike most hartman characters) and would probably recognize that even if danny is a human with a ghost persona, he's just a kid trying his best and that the real villains are his parents who unleashed the ghosts on the town and vlad who is just 100% a villain in a 'mask'. i could see them telling wes to chill out because he's taking his obsession with publicly unmasking danny too far. there's a big difference between wearing a mask to protect yourself and wearing a mask defraud tourists. at the end of the day danny is just a kid.

the tricky bit is if they confront danny's parents because lets be real, they've done a lot wrong. hapless and naive as they are they have done a lot of damage, and i'm pretty sure the gang could get some charges to stick. which is a problem for danny and would probably lead him to doing something stupid to protect his family. could lead to some misunderstandings and messes before everything is all sorted.

random other things:

- somehow shaggy and scooby end up in the ghost zone at some point. have a spooky terrible time but also meet some important ghosts

- scooby and cujo friendship. probably with scooby initially afraid of cujo's monster form but coming around by the end of the story

- literally anyone in amity would fall into one of fred's trap. not just villains. not just ghosts. anyone. all the characters in danny phantom would manage to get tangled up in the big net somehow. no one is immune

- velma and jazz get along so well that i'm kinda shipping it.

- velma goes off an ectobiology research binge.

- shaggy, scooby, and jack end up going on friendly food binges together. scooby and shaggy would absolutely ear ghost wieners if cornered

- sam keeps coming up with creative insults towards fred's posh upper-class style and just white kid everything (fully judging him on his appearance) but fred finds in strangely endearing and amusing. he is himbo-ing his way through whats meant to be cutting insults. the only thing he's sensitive about is his ascot

- daphne absolutely has cool older sister vibes. and she's cool and chill and ready to give advice but she is not taking any of sam's judgey shit. she is also trying very hard to let a flirting tucker down easy.

- i could tucker and shaggy and scooby commiserating over the wild scary shit they encounter

-i feel like danny spends entirely too much time feeling paranoid as shit to really get close to the gang. it's more a 'we're cool' at the end of the story kind of thing. i feel the gang are genuinely quite concerned about him and do put him in contact with some of their friends in the legitimately paranormal community. give him a number to call if he ever needs help. that kinda thing.

idk there are a lot of fun ways this can shake out - Hestia
