Prompt 294
Danny has found an… interesting corner of the Realms, avoided by all. There’s a bunch of ghosts, and a couple demons, angels, and a couple things that he’s never seen before. It’s actually really fun, and no one else ever comes so it’s kind of peaceful even with the chaos the family there does. There’s even a couple doctors who are happy to help him out, and apparently several dozen of them were vigilantes during life. Honestly this shadow area of the Zone is great!
Or, Danny stumbled across the Realms area where the bats of Every world and timeline have set up. He hasn’t realized the only reason he’s not already ghost-adopted is that the different versions are arguing over who gets to be the first to do so.
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Yes this includes Flashpoint Thomas#Look do you think ANY Batman would just let themself die and stay down? Yeah no#There’s also an entire army of Jasons ready to teach Danny street tricks#And several Graysons teach him some acrobatics#He’s their lil halfa boi#He doesn’t realize how OP he’s becoming by being trained by literal hundreds of Bats#Space Core Danny#Which seeing as how most of the Bats have Shadow or Star or Sun cores? He’s learning So Many Tricks#Not to say some don’t have other ghost core types but that’s still the majority#All of Team Phantom are now learning from the ghost Bats & Dani was instantly pseudo adopted as well#These are the people that accepted Kon & Bizarro & Damian even straight up had an island for his clones to live safely on#No one is prepared for this random team of teens in the middle of nowhere Illinois- nevermind the GIW

DP x DC Prompt
…
There are no more heroes.
Well, okay. Rewind a bit.
Danny has been doing the hero thing for a while now. He’s had a big reveal; everyone has accepted him (including his parents), the GIW disbanded, the Anti-Ecto acts repealed, and generally, everything is going great. Some of the A-Listers are even training as junior ghost hunters to help give him a break from his rogues! (Being Ghost King makes things hectic sometimes, and he just needs the extra help. Sue him!)
The point is, literally nothing is wrong with Danny Phantom’s afterlife.
And then Valerie Gray, the Red Huntress, disappears in front of his eyes.
Danny is baffled! She’s just…gone! Valerie just popped out of existence, like she was never there. But no matter how hard he searches in the Ghost Zone, he can’t find her soul anywhere. His core isn't broken in grief. So she’s not dead. Which is good. So then, where is she?
Some of the others come forward with ideas on how to find her. A few ghosts volunteer to go out into the mortal realm, an area Danny had declared off-limits, to see if she was out there. Danny approves it. He rounds up some of the friendlier (i.e., discreet) ghosts and Amity Parkers and demolishes the outside travel ban.
So everyone spreads out, looking for their dear frenemy and teammate. But it becomes apparent very quickly that something is wrong with the rest of the world.
There are no more heroes.
Every single living superhero on the face of the Earth has just…vanished. Villains are running amok; the countries are in chaos! Some aliens are invading Earth, mythical deities are trying to take over, and society is crumbling to the ground. Everything is on the brink of collapse.
Well, Danny was still there. And so were his people. They were pretty spread out, so could they just…take up the mantles? He also knew where to find the souls of dead heroes in the Zone; surely they wouldn't mind coming out of retirement for a little bit, especially if they couldn't die again. Oh! And that skeleton army leftover from Pariah Dark's reign might be useful in repelling those invading forces.
Honestly, there were more than enough hands to go around! And with the heroes gone, Danny didn't mind letting everyone out for a little break, as long as they followed his rules. They wouldn't stop the search for the other heroes, but hopefully, when they found them, the heroes wouldn't mind Danny's intervention too much. :)
In other words:
Someone fucks up, and all of Earth's living heroes are either wished out of existence or are whisked away to some far-off realm where Danny hasn't checked yet. In the attempt to figure out what's going on, Danny lets the dead run amok over the Earth as they search for clues. The skeleton army repels the invading armies, the souls of dead heroes deal with the world leaders, and his rogues and other Amity Parkers set up shop in place of famous heroes, trying to get the cities under control again.
Basically, they just do their best to keep everything from imploding until the Justice League and others are back.
(And why is it that Danny hasn't disappeared? Well, whatever caused everyone to go poof! only affected living heroes. Anyone heroes that were dead in the first place, or even just half-dead, stayed behind.)
#pondhead blurbs#danny phantom#dpxdc#reveal gone right au#ghost king au#for plot reasons#it doesn't count if the hero had died and then came back to life#lots of heroes would still be around then#but this is me pushing the halfa!jason todd narrative work with me here he deserves the fun#deadman is there too#and he's just thriving honestly. it's so nice to be around his own kind even if the world is ending#maybe ellie is whooshed away too cause she never technically died but she took up danny's moniker when he was crowned#vlad is ecstatic cause danny put him in charge of several states while they looked for clues including Wisconsin#skulker is replacing superman and just has a shitty S painted on his chest and just eats kryptonite like candy the first time he meets Lex#Kitty and Johnny take over in gotham and sam is now the new wonder woman#idk man just stupid stuff like this#the press is flabbergasted cause the fucking KING OF GHOSTS just showed up and he's 14 and just looking for some friends#Danny: hey guys sorry about the zombies and fire i'm just here to find my coworker and lil sister and maybe the other heroes#Danny: in the meantime i'll just let my army into the mortal realm to defend it while we figure out what's going on pls don't yell at us :)#the press: how do we explain this to the justice league when they come back. how do we explain that earth was saved by a 14 year old boy-#also idk which heroes are technically dead but are still kicking so if you feel like someone deserves liminal status slap it on them idc#some villains are trying for world dominance and some are just trying to find their buddies. their fight buds. where'd they go? :(#joker gets bitch slapped by a skeleton two days in and waylon becomes bffs with wulf#danny uses the watchtower as a base of operations and it's the only thing he doesn't want to give up when the heroes are back#i have no plot ideas beyond this#i just want everyone to be baffled that an army of the dead showed up while they were gone and just made sure everything stayed cool#later danny realizes he was technically the ruler of the world for a bit since his people were everywhere keeping the villains in check

that is EXACTLY Kon and Danny and i am ALSO living for it. Half-Kryptonian Half-Human Alien Boy and his Half-Human Half-Ghost Eldritch Horror Boyfriend. Power couple of the century <33
(ye ofc! Draw him whenever you have the energy/time and stuff, lord knows its easier that way and a ton more fun.)
AND GRAH IM GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP BABY DAMES. I love baby Dames he is my special little boy. My precious ex-assassin clone child. He absolutely sleeps in the hood of Danny's scarf and Danny fucking loves having him there. There are the two most specialist ever <33
Kon has come to visit Danny a few times and found him floating in the middle of his room in his ghost form, Damian fast asleep on his chest and all wrapped up in his scarf. Danny's conjured floating stars around the pitch black room that are all steadily orbiting around them. Danny is making this strange, humming-purring sound. It's totally inhuman and hauntingly beautiful.
SPEAKING OF MUSIC. Clone^2 Danny and Damian's whole vibes are based off Sleeping At Last. But in particular Danny is Nine, Two, Pluto, and Damian is Eight and Saturn. This is PURELY so i can spread Sleeping At Last Agenda and inflict you with Emotions that these songs Inflict On Me. (Also Neptune, Mars, and Earth. Mars in particular i imagine Danny saying to Damian)
Sometimes he gets to stick around and he sits on the floor with his head in his arms, hearts in his eyes, as Danny create this whole new mini solar system around them.
THEY ALSO GO FLYING TOGETHER. GraHH. They can both go so far up. They have races. Them doing that thing where they both go up up up, and then fall together, catching themselves before they can hit the ground.
SO MANY REGRETS WITH INTRODUCING DANNY'S FRIENDS TO KON'S. You just kNOW that Bart is trying to race Johnny 13. Everyone loses here. He also wants to race Danny. Tucker is showing off his PDA to Tim and Sam is talking to Cassie. Kon and Danny are off somewhere.
They have sleepovers and stay up late playing video games. Damian is positively determined to stay for the whole thing. He sits in Danny's lap the whole time and Danny uses him as a personal headrest -- as is the cost of staying awake and being there. Baby Dames always ends up falling asleep before 10. There HAS been a recreation of the Penny Snapcube Mr. Crocker Breakdown if only so that I can make Danny be Penny and absolutely lose his shit laughing with everyone.
yes yes yes. Kon sees Danny with the Long Ass Hair and promptly short circuits. Forgets how to speak and cycles through gibberish, kryptonian, some other alien language he learned off planet, before then finally landing on english. Only to spit out a Li Shang-levels of pathetic "you- you look good" line and promptly wish he had danny's intangibility so he could sink through the floor.
Danny with even longer hair means Kon gets to play with even more of his hair. Danny's working on some little pet project (NOT Kon's birthday present) and Kon is sitting behind him, his chin hooked over his shoulder, while he has one arm wrapped around his waist and the other hand is playing with his hair. This can and will result in Danny falling asleep.
(Danny is SO thrilled to meet Green Lantern and has a dozen questions for him about the other star sectors he's been to. Hal is RADIATING smugness. Bruce will never live this down.)
GIVES YOU SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME. YES YES YES. I'VE BEEN HARDCORE THINKING ABOUT HALFA DAMES. AND I LOVE WISP AS A NAME THAT IS SOOO DAMN CUTE OH MY GOD??? TEENY SMOL DAMES WITH GLOWING GREEN EYES AND SNOW WHITE HAIR LIKE HIS BROTHER.
also if Danny is like, 17-18 here, and Damian is currently 6, then that means Damian would've been like 2-3-ish and honestly that is SO cute (and also deliciously tragic). ITTY BITTY SMOL THING WITH THE TEETH. In comparison to the (still pr smol at time of creation but) much bigger Thing With The Teeth looming right behind him :]. Danny using his scarf to carry Dames around on his back like those african baby wraps. He still does it even when Dames is six bc they both Love It.
Smol Bitey Blob Wisp And His Much Bigger Much Scarier Blob Brother-(Technically-Dad) The Phantom. GIW are in for a, frankly, SHIT time if they even think of targeting Wisp. Bby can handle himself pr well but also. he Smol. He Babey. He Littol.
(which gives ME the opportunity to share my favorite quote for bruce clone!Danny, and that is: "Batman doesn't kill!" "Do I look like Batman to you?")
Kon absolutely loves seeing Danny in makeup. It's like, one of his favorite things ever. Eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man and the dark red lipstick?? He's gonna go wild. Danny's never gonna make it out the door, Kon is kissing it off him within minutes. Danny's makeup is smudged up and his lipstick is practically smeared off, and Kon is all but (messily) wearing it himself while looking like a smug cat.
"I have to go fix it now." Danny is grumbling, but his face is all pinkish and he's not all that upset tbh. Kon's got both his hands curled around Danny's waist. His fingers are a few inches shy of touching.
Kon just hums lowly and idly licks his lips, "I don't know," he says, "I think you look nice this way."
Which is, of course, the best way to make Danny flush perfectly scarlet down his throat and for him to laugh all truly bashful, and half-heartedly push Kon's face away with his palm.
Over 900 prompt

Ectoberhaunt 2023. Day 5. Hunt and Haunt.
~Well, here we go again, good old Ghost Hunger AU~
Description: The Ghost Zone is inherently a violent place. You can hunt or be hunted, there is no other options. However, for some reason the Halfa does not understand what is happening. And no one rushes to explain it. NB! ghost cannibalism is mentioned.
Prompt after memes
Suppose there’s a conventional division among ghosts. Some of them are potential predators capable of hunting their own kind, while others are only able to absorb the surrounding energy and therefore build up power more slowly than hunters.
So, predation is used as a method of survival in poor ectoplasm areas of the Ghost Zone, less often as a means of gaining power. Even less often hunters are created.
It is obvious that the appearance of a hunter who is the son of human ghost hunters in a haunting place without stable sources of ectolasm has caused panic in the society of the dead ones. For the newly formed ghost to have ectoblasts, fangs or ghost sense is a rarity and great luck. So the newcomer had everything and more to be a serious threat. An awful danger for the surrounding spirits…Right?
But Danny doesn’t know the specifics of his new biology ectology!
Even though he’s a hunter, he’s never had a ghost hunger. Probably because thanks to his parents he has an amazing ectoplasm concentrator in the basement. Soon everyone understands that the boy does not attack first. Those who return through the portal never report any losses at all. He does not bite or attempt to capture cores of other spirits. At first, the ghosts think it's a trap. Smart enough for a beginner. Not everyone has the tenacity to pretend to be an idiot to get close to them. But the Phantom never feeds on them. He’s…safe?
What’s more, Danny seems to think they’re a threat to the city. Which is fun and weird. Normally, there is no competition for feeding using human emotion. But the owner of the lair did not like the smell of fear in the air. Is this ghost broken?
When the ghosts who visit Amity realize that the halfa does not know that he can hunt them, rather than just guard his territory...Well, it explains a lot. Everyone agrees not to explain the situation to the boy so that the city behind the portal remains a relatively safe haven during the during a "hunting season" and other troubles in the Infinite Realms.
~~~~~
The problem arises when Phantom begins exploring the Ghost Zone. What if the other hunters make the boy stop being a freak?
In addition, more experienced ghosts may well attack the careless halfa. And Amity Park under the control of a more predatory spirit would be a terrible outcome. Most dead ones near the portal are used to the fact that the area before Wisconsin is open to travel and migration without the threat of being eaten.
All rational ghosts try to avoid the territory of hunters. If you can’t defend yourself, there’s too much risk of being a free meal. It’s much safer to settle down with spirits with similar energy levels at door clusters. If the hunter does not purposefully show up at your lair, you will have a much better chance of keeping the afterlife.
Those of the Ancients who have won their position and those of them who were created for it have become accustomed to isolation. Although all the Ancients have lost the need to eat 'cause they have absorbed enough energy, legends about their past are still be nightmares for all spirits. Just because they don’t need to eat other ones doesn’t mean they won’t. It is clear that a weaker hunter can also be hunted. No reason to risk.
Therefore, how freely and fearlessly Phantom communicates with Frostbite, Clockwork or Pandora is puzzling. Does he feel threatened at all? The Ancients find this experience refreshing. Lil communication without fear makes them feel sympathy for this youngling. Danny is always glad of their company. And the boy is not afraid to express his opinion. It is strange but...pleasant?
Their minions from time to time complain that they teach a potential enemy but it is very difficult to see a possible rival in Phantom. Danny is always in trouble. The youngster is silly and careless. Like a wet kitten that can’t even make a threatening hiss. So Ancients, to their own surprise, don't mind helping him. Why isn’t his naivety annoying?
For example, Frostbite’s trying to teach Danny hunting and tracking techniques because he thinks the little cub doesn’t know how to be what he supposed to be. Meanwhile Danny sees his attempts as a course of self-defense that he can use against ghosts who try to infiltrate his city.
~~~~~Bonus~~~~~
Some insufficiently powerful ghosts mimic predators to scare away dangerous spirits and protect themselves. Skulker is quite pleased that he managed to deceive halfa:

Demon Twins AU Idea
(Got a little carried away, but here you go! Short version: while Damian learns from their father, Danyal is investigating the Fentons. They try to do a vivisection on Dami, and Danny is NOT having it. He goes a lil berserk)
When Damian al Ghoul is sent to learn from the Bat, Danyal is sent on a long-term undercover mission.
Two scientists, Doctors Jack and Madeline Fenton, had discovered a new type of Lazarus Water. Danyal was to be adopted and report back on the differences between the Pits and this “Ectoplasm.”
One day, just a year into his mission, Danyal is investigating the nonfunctional portal when a large bookshelf covered in various samples topples, forcing him to duck into the portal and, unfortunately, the “on” button.
Danyal al Ghoul, the Shield to the Heir of the Demon, dies.
When ghosts begin to come through the portal, Danyal fights them back with an ecto-scimitar and a quiet determination that the American Government discovers nothing about the paranormal invasions.
When the Fentons find out that Danny is a halfa they don’t rush in, they’ve seen Phantom fight. They bide their time, creating a ghost-specific poison of diluted blood blossoms, slipping it into his food.
Danyal realizes he’s been poisoned too late. (Damian would be disappointed)
When he comes to, he’s strapped to a metal table in flimsy paper clothes. He feels weak, like if he sat up he would pass out.
Jack and Madeline are standing above him.
“Look honeybun! It’s awake!”
“Thank you sweetie! Now,” Madeline says, “while I am impressed that you managed to pretend to be human for so long, you did make a mistake.” She smiled, turning to rip a sheet off of-
Damian.
(His twin, his brother. He looks like he has been dragged to hell and back already, bloodied and barely breathing.)
“You really shouldn’t have based your human form on a celebrity child.” She taps a finger to her chin, thinking, “The real question is who should we start with? The monster or the template?”
“I say start with the boy lovekins. I wanna know what made him easier to mimic than anyone else.”
When Madeline picks up a scalpel, Danyal glares.
When she walks towards Damien, his twin freezes.
When she moves to cut into his twin, all The Shield can see is green.
When it fades, he is clutching his Ahki to his chest in Nanda Parbat.

TWST X DP
yep, I’m going back to my old favorite with my current favorite, called me crazy but I actually think it’s a little bit more fun.
With the fact that Danny would in Twisted Wonderland and when it happens is after D-stabilize and before Phantom Planet or after Phantom Planet (I can’t decide which one) so with that in mind I can see when Danny meets Grim, he wouldn’t be fearful to him as that Ghost boy has dealt with worse.
In a way Danny can get away from Grim easily (the poor cat would struggle to find him until he did XD) though Danny would try to reason with Grim but of course he wouldn’t listen and try to attack Danny until Crowley showed up and stopped the devil cat.
Interesting Facts:
• Danny doesn’t fully trust Crowley as the headmaster wouldn’t keep his promise for getting Danny back to his world, in Danny’s case he isn’t really responsible enough. (Oof 😭😅)
whenever he gets annoyed or mad at Grim, Danny usually calls him ‘lil menace’, ‘gremlin’, and ‘Devil cat’ as he refuses to be called Grim’s “minion”
When Danny shows his ghosts powers to Ace and Deuce it was around in the dwarf’s mines when he saved Deuce from the phantom blot (at the time they didn’t know that)
In classes in NRC Danny actually had a good grasp on class lesson to a point where he gets genuine good grades, confused and surprised he goes up to Crewel asking if there is a mistake and when Crewel confirms that all his class work is correct. The poor Halfa was in complete shock that he would say “I- I never had this good grades besides that one test..” he said which would make Crewel genuinely concerned about the Halfa (papa Crewel is best Crewel QwQ)
In each of overblot victims’ memories came when Danny see them he would genuinely feel bad (pacifically Riddle’s, Azul’s, Idia’s, and Malleus’s) he sees those memories seeing them struggling with their trauma similar to his trauma (yes Danny has some trauma but hide it better until he lose his composure.)
The more time Danny constantly facing the phantom blot (since he doesn’t want to hurt the victims) after Grim in the end of book 5 scratches him in his ghost form, his injury would get infected with some of the blot that overtime he would have a high chance to be Overblot himself as well (the rest of the Twst crew would know Danny’s personal struggles and fears mainly of Dan Phantom)
Danny does sense a lot of ghosts in Twisted Wonderland as his own ghost sense would go off so if the Ramshackle ghosts try to scare Danny then he would be aware which actually amuse the Halfa as he is surprised that the ghosts in twisted wonderland is different in his own world and even the ghost zone as well.
When Danny befriended some of the main Twst crew, he is actually close to the first years though when he met Jack Howl it was awkward as his dad’s name is Jack so, to insure of no confusion Danny would call Jack Howl by his last name or ‘Jackie’ which it is understandable to Jack as he does not want Danny to be uncomfortable.
In story Danny would have to use his ghost powers in so many ways as in book 1 when Ace was kicked out and had Riddle’s collar on, out of curiosity and thinking Danny used his intangibility on the collar and taking it off of Ace’s neck which made the Heartslabyul student very happy but Danny told Ace that he had to put it back on his neck so that Riddle wouldn’t know. To the dismay of Ace but begrudgingly he agreed on it as it for safety reasons.
when Danny met Malleus, to the Halfa he thinks that Malleus is really cool and would call Malleus ‘Draco’ because of a constellation and also means Dragon as well, for Malleus was surprised that Danny would nickname him of thing that he was passionate about which made the dragon fae felt happy as they both would talk about their favorite interests (Malleus with gargoyles while Danny is Stars and space)
When any Twst characters asks Danny about his family and friends, he would definitely talk about them mostly he would also talk about his other friends from different dimensions, a boy who is big genius, a buck tooth boy with little creatures could give anything he wants, and finally a friendly sea sponge who is a fry cook. Danny would admit that he haven’t heard anything from them for a while now but understand if they find out that he is in another dimension they would be freaked out. (Aka Danny talking about Jimmy, Timmy, and SpongeBob though tbh I think Timmy would be jealous on Danny to be in a world that magic does exist XD)
The end of Malleus’s OB, Sam and Tucker did find a way to get into Twst with the help from Wulf who used his claws to get into the world and to find Danny, only to find out that he dealing with an overblot and become overblot himself.
in the Masquerade event would be interesting as Danny would have seen the ghost of Rollo’s late little brother Theo Flamme who stayed invisible in front of anyone except Danny could see him due to be a half ghost
Danny would tell about his ghost adventures to the first years group as Deuce would describe that Danny is a superhero which makes Danny happy about it
if Floyd or maybe even Grim would try to call him Dan or Dan-Dan you would bet Danny would get triggered as he would tell them in a coldest voice “Don’t EVER call me Dan again..!” and later he would tell everyone why after seeing his memories after his overblot.
so in short Danny would have to deal a lot issues but also would the moment that he would admit that he also has trauma issues.
I hope you guys like this idea that I come up with! I will also explain another AU that’s involved with Danny Phantom and the Owl House! Be on a lookout for that. Hope you guys have a good day/night!

Danny & Duke Prompt/idea for y'all while I'm still trying to write my fic
Now I still don't know if I'm gonna include this in my fic, but I wanted to post it incase I didn't but essentially, Halfa/Quarta!Duke
Ok so basically Pariah Dark would be a halfa (until giving up his humanity/human half like Dan) and was sealed into the Infinite Realms by his brother, Gnomon The Eternal Light who was also a halfa, this in turn not only makes Duke part ghost, but also the biological nephew of Pariah Dark.
Duke has a very small amount of ectoplasm flowing throughout his body and also has a core much smaller/underdeveloped than other ghost and even halfas. He inherited abilities from both his father and his uncle resulting in him having a mixed core (light and dark [psh, ok y/n✋🏽🙄])
Insert traumatized Danny attending Gotham Academy after running away for whatever reason👁️👁️, ahem, and staying in the schools dormitories. Danny's first day is going great, he woke up early, made it to class on time, and his classmates were being nice to him, maybe things here wouldn't be so bad. THEN FWOOSH, almost instantly Danny feels a powerful (and somewhat familiar) chill down and his ghost sense goes off and then he starts panicking, cause if he goes ghost then the GIW will know where he is, if he doesn't help then this ghost will seriously fuck up the school.
Bbg spends a bit too long in his head contemplating his options and feels this overwhelming presence get closer, he doesn't hear anybody screaming so thats good. It very quickly becomes not good when the presence comes closer and he realizes why it feels so familiar, it was an aura similar to that of Pariah Dark. Well great that's just fucking great, first day at a new school and he's possibly gonna get beat up by the former ghost king, which by the way, WHO THE FUCK LET HIM OUT-
Danny is thoroughly surprised though when it isn't a ghost capable of mass destruction that comes into the class but actually a rather cute boy his age (oh very pretty ghost guy ok) it isn't until Duke sits at a desk and people start talking to him does he realize (holy fuck this guy is like me)
During his lunch break Danny-boy slips into the Ghost zone to ask his lil ghost council (which consist of Pandora, Dorothea, Frostbite, Wulf, and Clockwork) if it's possible for two different ghost to have similar auras, Pandora states the each ghost aura is unique to that individual, the only way for two ghost to have similar auras is for them to be related
Great, so Danny's classmate is a relative of one of his strongest enemies, and former king of the Infinite Realms? Fucking great
Edit/update: On Dukes side, he finds himself rather drawn towards the pretty new boy in his class and he doesn't know why (it's bc unlike him, Danny has a shit ton of Ectoplasm running through and Dukes still developing core is drawn to that)
Anyway when he starts hanging out with Danny, his core starts absorbing the ectoplasm in the air surrounding him (which comes from Danny constantly exiting/entering the Ghost zone an using portals) which in turn helps Dukes core develop faster, making his powers stronger and granting him new ones
Meme time
#Duke x Danny propaganda#Quarta!Duke#dp x batman#dp x dc crossover#dp x dc#would duke technically be the right heir to the throne?#idk about that stuff man😞#duke thomas#danny phantom#deadlights#Dukes powers develop much slower due to him being a quarter ghost#danny fenton#dc x dp prompt

Skulker started as one of the ones who was fighting for real, eager to get his hands on a halfa pelt. But when he realizes that this halfa wasn't like Vlad, wasn't fully aware of who he was or what he was or heck even what most of his powers are he feels *guilt*. He wants to make it up to the lil baby but doesn't quite know how. Later on, if Danny gets a strange box full of useful new gadgets or a detailed description of a few ghosts he's been struggling with, well, Skulker will claim to know nothing.
I imagine a few of the other actually fight ghosts were Penelope and Walker, before they too realize and suddenly Danny's not getting harassed by ghosts super often (not like Walker's taken to scolding the ghosts who play too rough with the baby) and he's been feeling less stressed (Spectra figures that maybe a bit of late night chamomile rather than straight coffee was a good swap and it's not like he'd notice the poor boys tastebuds are probably nonexistent from the portal incident) But you know who would've known dang near immediately?
Kitty and Johnny.
The two of them died close to Danny's age when he "died" and they know the signs since it wasn't so long ago that they were like that. So yeah, they'd play around with the baby ghost.
But once he hit Gotham? Oh, *every* ghost would be trying to make sure he doesn't get killed. Skulkers spending time messing with bigger threats like Bane and Technus is running circles around the Riddler (he's not even all that dangerous, Technus just finds it funny to see him rage). If the Joker so much as sneezed in Danny's direction Nocturne's putting him in sleepy time out.
Forgive me writing on phone is difficult
Edit cause I forgot: Dick was absolutely thrown off course by Ember. She's pumped to smack people with her guitar and he was just close enough
Danny's Ghosts
I was just thinking about this one thing I saw where Danny's ghosts are actually playing with him. At first, some of them were actually fighting, not realizing he was a baby ghost, but most of them are nowadays just being friendly. It's normal for young ghosts to be rowdy, and Danny is a lil baby, so they don't think much of it.
So what if after something happened, that lead him to fleeing into Gotham, because we love our haunted city, and the ghosts panic because "Uh oh! Baby is missing!" When they eventually find him, probably still hurt, and at the very least more than traumatized with everything, and they're like "Oh- no time for playing, baby needs help- who is baby's parents- what do we do-" and Danny is just instantly ready to try to fight them, and it finally clicks.
Danny didn't know that their fights were just playing around. Maybe he'd caught on to some of them, but for the most part, he genuinely believed they wanted to hurt him. And that hurt for a few of the ghosts. So now, in this random city, the ghosts are doing everything they can to both prove they're not EVER going to actually hurt him, and in turn doing their best to make sure nothing else can since he's very weak and tired rn.
They would have taken him to his parent, but they quickly realized the baby ghost doesn't actually have a parent. Horrifying realization when he's the heir to the throne-
Cue the bats running around trying to catch this odd meta child and get him some help, only for random things to get in their way. None of them know what's happening, but it's more than clumsiness when even Dick ends up getting flung off course by something invisible.

Danny phantom dc crossover idea:
Clone at the grave
Idk how but Danny ends up in gotham. Except da boi is a lil messed up. Aspects of his ghost form are peeking through in his human forms.
This inculdes
Green eyes (lowkey glow sometimes)
Some white hair
Some scars he got in Ghost form.
He also has a vivisection scar (could be part of reason he is there). There are also other various scars some that used to only show on his ghost form but are now on his human form, it's overall concerning.
The thing is Danny is also a bit bloody (red blood) and looking like he was in a fight. So he looks for a safe place and what better than to follow some kind ghosts from Gotham's cemetery. He's the King and Gotham (I love sentient ghost/spirit gotham) for some odd reason is like 'I like this kid/king so no spooky shit to hurt him' also in the cemetery I think there is just etiquette for the ghosts to not hurt each other and be respectful seeing as that is their final resting place. Anyways he's led to a grave and to just sit and chill and try to heal or overall not fully die.
Unbeknownst to him, he is sitting on the grave of formally dead Jason Todd. A grave that the bats have some surveillance on cause ya know of course they would have surveillance on an empty grave. So when poor old Danny is chilling there, the bats are made aware. When they look what they see is what honestly looks similar to a dead Jason Todd, albiet a bit smaller and white hair tuft not the exact same. And considering that Jason is very much (sorta) alive and not at the cemetery, they come to the conclusion that 'hey is that a clone?' Which is a very concerning question.
Cue bats taking a trip and coming close to the 'body' cause really it seemed like a dead body. But then Danny moves, opens his eyes and Boom ya got green, eerily close to Lazarus green which only increases their belief that this dude may possibly be some sort of clone.
So we got confused, suspicious, (concerned) bats. And meanwhile Danny is just ??? With seeing these dudes sorta surrounding him in a cemetery where he is still injured.
Now what happens next could go various ways.
They could go on the agressive detain and ask questions later.
There could be a fight.
Danny may use his spooky abilties to disappear.
Danny may simply fall unconscious and leave the bats to deal with him.
Danny could confuse them with sassiness,
OR he could be like 'ayo help would be appreciated'
OR he could be like 'can't a guy chill in a cemetery by himself'.
Overall the possibility of him leaving with the bats or going off by himself is up in the air and really depends on what type of vibes you want in this story.
Some fun things that could be included...
Bats insistent that Danny is a clone while Danny is like 'No'
OR Danny legit going like 'wait really a clone? Tell me more'
Maybe Jason and Danny meet on the street and are just like that Spiderman meme.
OR they meet and are like hey 'dead buddies' type deal
OR they meet and Jason is suspicious and shit
Batfamily members asking why there are two Jasons, wondering why one is smaller and how his hair changes.
Danny hiding from the bats causing confusion and chaos along the way
Hello batfamily adoption, Bruce reputation preceeds him.
Some 👀 when they see the vivisection/autopsy scar (maybe they don't even know its actually a vivisection until later)
Danny's spookiness peaking out more and more
Maybe at some point or something one of the magic users like Zatanna or Constantine encounter Danny and they are def unsettled. Maybe they can't tell he's the ghost king or a halfa but they know something is wrong. Maybe they knew Jason was a bit wonky in the death sense but they are like "this 'clone' is on a whole other level of fucked". This of course makes the bats wanna investigate more about the 'creation' of cloneDanny, wondering what is his purpose and how he came to be Danny and in gotham and why.
Ya know I like to think that Danny never actually tells them he's a halfa. Cause, ya know secrets and also who is he to crush their clone theory dreams.
The thing is, is that they def think Danny is a really spooky and unsettling 'clone'. Seemingly more dead than alive than Jason is. They never have moments where they think Jason is not actually breathing. His eyes seem more glowy green than Jason's and his tuft of hair seems to glow occasionally but so quick that you think it's a trick of the light. He seems so quiet and his 'presence' isn't that of a normal human. Sometimes they forget Danny is close by.
It makes them think of how Jason could have come back.
One thing I think would be present is that Danny is having issues with changing forms which was why they were sorta mixing. So when he finally is able to fully separate and they see his blue eyes, and fully black hair and they turn to Damian and are like 'ya know you two actually look pretty simi-'
So yeah this is an idea I've been in the process of figuring out. Lots of possibilities though, but if anyone also wants to have some fun with this, please do!! Never can have too many cakes after all.

Hello, I have been thinking of making the clone gang into my OCs for a while now ( kinda inspired by Mortified because it's a great fanfic, I love me some characters we see for 1 min being utilised and explored ) so I kinda just... Did.
Ok so here are my bois, first I shall show a group line-up, then I introduce them in segments.
Sound good? Ok, here they are!
These are the clone squad in human form, though I'm still debating on whether they are hypothetical forms, or if they're all halfas like Dani.
Also I have never really drawn Danielle, so she may look wonky until I get the hang of it lol
Anyway, introductions:
This man is Dante, he's the skeleton ghost, and I based his design off of two things: his nose looks like it would be different than Danny's, and he had a bedsheet.
So therefore, he gets wavy hair, and a similar build to Danny, except his nose is different and I tried to define his brows and their wrinkles a bit more ( I don't know how to explain it better )
Dante is quite possibly the most laid back from the clone squad because there really weren't any expectations he had to deliver on, unlike his siblings.
He's the second oldest, which means Vlad was just ok with him existing because he was still getting the hang of the whole cloning thing.
This means he had time to work on his hobbies, like art and gardening and just wind down after Vlad inevitably did something terrible.
He has leg prosthetics but because I was too excited to post, so I haven't figured out how to draw them yet, so for now he has long pant legs.
He's the mom friend of the gang, will frequently drag the rest of them out of their pods for bonding time because he knows they can get caught up in their problems.
They poke fun at him for his ' bedsheet ghost ' routine but he thinks it's funny and he's vibing, so they just kinda accept it. He actually uses the spooky voice too, just because.
He's the ' We have food at home ' sibling along with Dorian, but can switch to ' McDonalds ' sibling when he wants to make Danielle happy •^•
Now these two.
Oh, boy.
These two are traumatized let me tell you that.
Let's start with Dorian, who for the purposes of my sanity will be Dan level beefy instead of his canon beefiness. Just because I couldn't figure out how to draw it, and it's my design so screw it.
I had the idea of him looking like Jack because he's the oldest sibling so Vlad accidentally tapped into some genetics he probably didn't like.
As you can probably guess, Vlad is not his biggest fan.
Dorian is just the sweetest boi. He's the Jazz of the squad. Often ignores himself and accidentally becomes the therapist friend when there's nobody there to help him set his boundaries.
He's really into social justice, reading, and also rock/metal music ( because why not, it fits his ghost aesthetic too )
He just wants the best for his siblings, even though he's painfully aware Vlad is just... Vlad.
He will not hesitate to curb stomp you if you become a threat to his family, and while he's very patient, the clone gang has sorta given him a sixth sense for detecting mischief.
I'm serious, he walks into a room and just knows they did something.
He chooses to wear formal adjacent clothing himself, it isn't Vlad that made him do it. He feels comforted by the routine of styling himself.
Now, Dominic: I'm gonna put the pic back here for reference.
This lil man
He is just... Full of anger. And issues.
First, his design was meant to have a lot of triangular shapes to kinda match Danny's, as well as to bring more attention to his face.
His eye is just gone in human form as well. It falls off constantly, so he doesn't bother and just carries it in a pouch in his pocket. Dorian finds that understandably disturbing, and Dante is somewhere between ' I can make eye puns when he brings it up ' and ' dude I wish my brother would have better care for himself '.
He's the third clone, and Vlad's favourite until Danielle happened. Unfortunately, because we can't have nice things, he's constantly unstable in ghost form, and because of that Vlad pushed him hard enough for him to develop the shrinking, purely out of his want to disappear and hide.
Dominic despises Vlad from the bottom of his heart, because unlike with Dani, Vlad didn't bother hiding his disappointment and loopiness when it came to his ' almost perfect son '
He's pretty jaded because of this, and he swore to himself that Dani would not suffer like he did, so he allowed himself to get blackmailed into behaving by Vlad. Basically the deal was that Dominic would obey without question, and Dani will be happy and oblivious to the fact he literally doesn't care.
Later on, Vlad tells him that he'll have Danielle overshadow Danny, but he volunteers instead because he knows it won't end well, and he's absolutely right. Vlad probably knew this so he told him specifically so his ' problem child ' wouldn't be a problem.
He would literally fight anyone, despite the fact he has bad depth perception, a lack of real offensive abilities, and an incredible lack of solidity/stability.
He probably waits for the summer with anticipation because he can fire tiny ectoblasts at Vlad and pretend it was mosquitoes.
Besides all the angst and trauma, he has a passion for theatre and mischief. He and Dani are incredibly close and prank everyone. Dominic probably taught her the ' faint to get out of a difficult conversation ' trick.
He can't talk in tiny form, it just sounds like bells ( like Tinkerbell )
Dante probably teases him for ' doing puberty wrong ' and Dominic strikes back with digs against the ' bedsheet ghost routine '. They're vibing.
Dorian and Dominic are also Metal/Rock music buddies and will listen to music together while Dorian is reading some book or other. Dominic is incredibly grateful to have his support despite all the headaches his mischief cause, and he often serves as Dorian's ' boundaries cheerleader ' so to speak.
He's the ' One black coffee ' sibling if you hadn't noticed. Only he'd probably hand it to Danielle because she's his partner in crime.
Now Dani herself, she absolutely adores her brothers. She doesn't understand why Vlad doesn't, but she thinks she can change his mind because he ' likes ' her. Then when he calls her brothers ' mistakes ' she goes ' ok I can't, but if he stabilises me, I can maybe save them too ' because she's precious like that .
Unfortunately, things don't work that way, and so when she leaves Amity park she's kinda confronted with the realisation that ' oh damn, I actually helped murder Dorian, and Dominic wouldn't help Vlad without good reason so he probably took my place ' and that's not exactly a pleasant realization.
The reason she doesn't come back for help earlier than D-stabilized is actually because of guilt. She doesn't feel like she deserves the help after what happened. Then she reminds herself that her brothers wanted her to be happy and goes off to find Danny.
I know this was a lot of angst, so here, have some sketches to balance it out OwO
I'm thinking I also have them come back as ghosts because I want my children to be happy together, but I haven't figured out unique ghost designs for them yet. It feels cheap giving them their clone designs when they're now their own people yknow?
Thank you for reading all this, I'm really happy to finally share my bois with the Phandom •^• if y'all have any thoughts or questions feel free to share.
I'm just glad I did this because doing character design in the DP style is fun, especially considering how Dorian and Dante's facial features had to be built on top of skeletal/unfinished structure ( their noses in particular ) so that was exciting to figure out (ㆁωㆁ)

AHH OK IMMA CONTINUE IT
Aighty so Danny does his lil humming thing and Bruce is like lowkey in shock, not that it shows completely but enough that those who notice (I'm thinking Cass, duke, Damien?) know what it is but dunno how to react.
Alfred cleared his throat and stepped forward, greeting Danny and like welcomes him, but neither say anything out loud about, ya know, just in case.
The League doesn't notice Batman's predicament outside of Superman (who hears Bruce's heartbeat stutter) and step forward to greet the teen and take him to medbay, still thinking he's immune.
Superman hangs back as the others escort Danny and Tim, and asks Bruce and Alfred what had happened. They don't reveal who they recognized but they mentioned knowing a boy once very similar and seeing him brought up old memories.
Superman nods and heads to medbay too, while Alfred and Bruce share a look only they can understand, basically having a telepathic convo being like "is that-" "i think so, should we ask?" "Hold off until they're out of medbay" etc etc
So a lil while later Danny and Tim are cleared from medbay and night watch takes over, while everyone else heads to the bunks and whatnot of the safehouse. Bruce and Alfred, though, ask Danny to talk real quick
The confession is quick and Not painless but is comforting enough. Danny refrains from telling them the halfa situation and ghost kings stuffs, but instead tells them of the zone and being able to glimpse in every now and again. Danny makes it seem much less frequent than it actually was, skipping over some of the more difficult parts of Bruce's life.
Bruce and Alfred have so many questions but right then they settled for just having Danny back for the time being.
After the reconnect, Danny asks what's going on cause like Tim told him some stuff but had been injured so I'm sure he wasn't the most coherent
Bruce explains what Lex and Ras did, and Danny asks how he can help. Alfred mentions helping the League and Danny talks about being able to communicate with the infected
Together they come up with a semi solid plan, not realizing that Jason and Damien were still up and listening to their convo, sus that Danny was who he said he was but willing to play along for now.
The next morning the League interrogates Danny and tried to figure out why he is the way he is, slow heart beat and glowing veins-not to mention the Bullet Wounds they found while in medbay the day previously-and Danny goes along with it but keeping up the facade that he was just some random citizen with a new medical condition (being dead is a medical condition, isn't it?)
Tim vocalizes his theory that the virus evolved and could potentially be infecting other dead people, and tried to break it to Danny that he had been dead, not knowing that Danny knew he was dead and thought it was obvious lol
They clear up the confusion and continue on, eventually trying to trace Lex and Ra's location so they can locate the bioweapon source before All the dead come back, and Danny then again mentions the communication with the infected thing and suddenly the League is Invested. Cause like. In a zombie apocalypse, don't you want to be able to talk to your enemy, if not tell them what to do?
And so they get Danny on recon, sending him out briefly over the next few days with a tag-along, trying to figure out Lex and Ra's plans and location.
That's all from me, @s incoming
A DC X DP IDEA #3 Oh Brother,
Imagine dis…
We all read and heard about the lost son of Bruce Wayne and also the Lost twin of Damian Al Ghul Wayne.
But what about the lost brother of Bruce Wayne?
On the night of the 26th of June, The young Bruce Wayne didn’t just lose his parents but also his brother. After murdering both of their parents the gunman, Joe Chill turned his attention to the boys, one young teen who could not be older than 16 keeping his young 8-year-old from seeing the corpse of their parents. Thinking that it is better to leave the scene with no witness fired two more rounds in the direction of the children and quickly turned tail.
Daniel Wayne covered his little brother’s body from the bullets catching the two rounds with his own body. Catching the horrified look of his younger brother, feeling the blood in his mouth as well the fact that his own body is shaking from what had just happened in a matter of minutes. Grabbed his brother’s shoulders, smiled, and hugged him so tight as he knows that his brother is not allowed to follow him or his parents to the afterlife for a long time.
As his consciousness fades he catches the teary-eyed brother of his, trying to catch him before he hits the pavement.
…
Clockwork frowns at the timelines between the two realms, one who is not supposed to exist, exists while the other who is supposed to be born is not to be born thus collapsing the timeline of both realms but with the recent development to the other realm made him have a difficult choice. Guiding the young Daniel’s soul to the other realm to replace what was lost.
…
Danny grew up feeling missing something, with absentee parents and a parent sibling it’s no wonder what he would have missed.
Maybe he missed the times when his parents were actual parents to them instead of focusing their attention on their machines.
Maybe it is the life he had before the tragic accident that changed him.
Maybe it is the normality between him being a ghost hero and being a normal teen.
But…
Every time he saw two brothers playing near Casper High, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing.
His ghostly core and human heartache for the familiar setting to the point he kept seeing a younger “double” of himself.
Don’t get him wrong he can create clones of himself to help him during fights but this “double” is different from him he looked like someone he missed so dearly while he looked like someone who has the same delicate face as him.
Which would be impossible if it was always been him and Jazz alone in the house full of things that could potentially end his existence.
The phantom pain he would feel from bullets on a specific month, day, and time, instead of electricity made him quickly go to Frostbite and Clockwork.
Frostbite explained that it is quite normal for a newly formed ghost to feel the phantom pains of its reason for death.
But he died from electrocution, not from bullets.
He went to Clockwork but the moment he saw the figure of his grandfather mentor he couldn’t help but sense a feeling of dread.
…
Clockwork knew that in each timeline there would be a day and time for his grandson apprentice to ask about such ire that had been bothering him ever since he became a halfa. Each time he tried to prolong the inevitable but it seems that he was caught off guard for today.
…
Clockwork explained to Danny his crimes to him and his soul. How the Master of time itself forced him to live a life just after he had ended his first one.
Danny’s mind may have had a million thoughts at the time but at that moment he only cared about two things.
Who has he been before and what happened to his brother?
Clockwork explained He was Daniel Thomas Wayne the firstborn son in the union of Martha and Thomas Wayne. He used to live in a manor with his family grandfather/butler, he gained a little brother that was named Bruce Wayne. On the day of his former death day, his brother kept pestering their parents to go to the movies as they have been busy and Bruce felt that he was alone, being loving parents they indulged Bruce in his pestering as they too noticed them being too busy. On the night they went to Crime Alley for a shortcut to Wayne manor, they were ambushed and killed, and his parents were.
Shakingly, Danny begged to see Bruce, his core ached for his missing family, his brother. Bruce his little brother, hoped that he didn’t follow, he hoped that he is doing fine.
Clockwork didn’t respond but showed him a one-way mirror-view of his former dimension. There the mirror shows a familiar dining room, with a grown man who has black hair and striking blue eyes talking to a younger boy named Jason as Alfred serves Bruce’s morning coffee.
Danny could not help but smile, his little brother is all grown-up. Starting a little family of his own, Danny’s only request is to be able to visit Clockwork’s haunt to observe his little brother.
Each visit made him learn more about the man his little brother turned into.
He turned into a vigilante protecting the people in Gotham, his favorite soup stayed the same despite the fact he used to eat that soup with someone else, he has an adoption issue (He could not blame him though, not when he adopted both Dan and Dani), then his little brother went and adopted a sentiment starfish from outer space, that he owes his nephews and nieces a ton of gifts from missing their milestones, and many more…
But he wished that he was there as well…
When Jason died at the hands of Joker, when he was lost in the time stream, when he learned that he missed a decade’s worth of his “blood” son’s life, the death of Damian, not protecting Barbara from being shot by the Joker, letting his demons run his life…
He just wished he was there to hold his little brother in his arms as he protect him from the dangers of the world just like he had done when he was Daniel protecting Bruce from his nightmares as well the monsters under his bed.
After a reveal went wrong he gathered up his human friends and flee toward the zone after destroying everything related to ghosts and the realms.
Taking up the mantle of Ghost king he made sure that he still have time to observe his family on the other dimension.
…
Meanwhile, in the DC universe, Ra Al Ghul and Lex Luther had created a bioweapon that turns ordinary people into some sort of zombie slaves of the Lazarus pit minus the death part of being a zombie. Things got out of hand both villains and heroes are scrambling to contain the bioweapon virus as well as looking for a cure as it has spread from Gotham, Metropolis, Star City, and more big-name cities. They could not merely kill the infected just like in a movie from a zombie apocalypse as they are still alive.
Symptoms include glowing green veins that are seen as well pupil-less eyes in addition to an extra boost in strength, as the infected multiply by having an open wound be infected by the green veins that produce some sort of green murky blood aka the Lazarus pits.
Danny saw the predicament of his home dimension and decided to intervene, with the approval of his court. He entered the dimension, and as he turned into his human half he noticed that his age was regressed to the time he was murdered.
The infected ignored and followed his commands as per his position, avoiding any confrontation with his brother or any supers that might demand him why the infected are ignoring him, he pretended to be infected that can think and speak as well that was raised from the dead.
It was quite easy for him to pretend on the glowing veins as pure ectoplasm flowed through his veins. He just made sure that he is always a glowing green glowstick.
Walking around in a zombie apocalypse is less fun than he thought it would be, grabbing a backpack that was discarded he filled it up with weapons and started his journey at the foot to look for the cure.
(Thoughts of seeing his brother made him fill his head full of possibilities)
On his way to Gotham, he saw his nephew (Tim) surrounded by infected and about to wound him when he immediately snatched him to safety. Seeing the deep eye bags of his nephew he let him rest at his makeshift safe house as he guarded Tim he can’t help but wonder why on earth he was out in the open.
…
Tim groaned awake as he remembered what had just happened in a few months. Ra’s and Lex made a bio-hazard weapon that was made from the Lazarus pits (Which made him wonder which of the two thought that was a good idea as the Lazarus pits are still a mystery to the Batclan as well to the world) and went out of hand thus ended up having the Justice League cleaning up their mess.
He remembered being surrounded by the infected after his usual recon, he was pretty sure he broke a rib and his arm as running away from the horde or getting them with tranquilizer darts were the only options, he was sure that it was his end.
When he woke up he didn’t expect to be still infected free nor the infected teen, who is a blue-eyed black-haired teen, definitely a Wayne bait, in front of him trying to bandage him.
After the initial confusion and panic and the conversation, he concluded that the bio weapon had evolved to the point of reviving dead teens.
(Seeing what the Lazarus pit had done to Jason and Ra was not far fetch)
The teen who introduced himself as Danny woke up somewhere which was near Metropolis and stated that he was nowhere near his hometown nor where he was buried initially and was walking around to find more humans as he was pretty sure when he died zombie apocalypse are nothing more than fantasy as well the supers are but fictions as he kept reading the latest yet tossed out newspapers, which explains the newspapers in the corner and had concluded that it has been more than 2 decades since he died.
He made an offer to Tim that he couldn’t possibly refuse, he could help him return where he was as the infected tend to ignore him thus having a guide and bodyguard in his injured state as well a specimen that can talk and walk around cities without having the risk of being infected, in return he just needs help in finding his brother.
After a long tenacious walk to Gotham, both bond over small talks, jokes, and camping as well as filling up Danny with what he had missed in the decade while he was 6 feet under.
Tim learned that Danny adored his little brother and wished to see him one last time before going back to the dead.
…
Bruce was worried, Tim was supposed to time in a few hours back. He along with the rest of the bats and the Justice League members were lucky enough to escape and regroup at a later date. Sitting in one of the fortified safe houses with a few infected being wandered.
When he was about to check the communication for the umpteenth time the cameras caught something. Immediately all went to the monitor to have a better look at what had just tripped their alarm. There is Tim wounded and bandaged but still infected free, which gave relief to the Batclan behind him on the other hand caused worries.
An Infected teen behind Tim follows him while looking around him, upon closer inspection they can see the boy’s eyes despite being infected. Some of the Justice League thought that Tim may have found someone who has at least some sort of immunity to the Infected.
The Batclan on the other hand caught sight of Bruce stiffening along with Alfred. Both seemed to look at the infected teen with familiarity. Luckily that the cameras had audio and played the live feed.
Tim was talking to the mystery teen about meta-human rights while the mystery teen kept nodding along. Tim asked about the mystery teen’s little brother which the teen brighten up and talked about his little brother’s pranks towards their father every time he left them on their own devices like melting crayons on top of his shoes to adding color according to his little brother. As well as the fact he made a special lullaby just for him.
The mystery teen began to hum an unfamiliar tune to those who are watching except Alfred and Bruce, Alfred was ready to cry while Bruce made a face that both his co-workers and children never saw him make.
Bruce’s mind immediately supplied the missing lyrics while the mystery teen kept humming along.
If I was dying on my knees
You would be the one to rescue me
And if you were drowned at sea
I’d give you my lungs so you could breathe
I’ve got you brother-er-er-er
I’ve got you brother-er-er-er
I’ve got you brother-er-er-er
I’ve got you brother-er-er-er
As they were nearing the armed gate of the safe house, Tim asked what is his little brother’s name was as once this was over he was willing to pass the message.
The mystery teen smiled sadly and said fondly… oh brother,

danny phantom episode 4-7 Thoughts: (under a readmore because, these got kinda long!)
-the outfit danny had to buy for dash's party. CLASSIC 2000S i cannot stop laughing. And also showing up to the party and everyone is dressed like the trio is hilarious. and further proof that everyone looks good dressed goth.
-dash has a closet full of cute lil bear plushies?? LOVE that. adorable. also his response to danny trashing his room fighting a ghost was SO valid if somone BROKE MY BED IN HALF ID BE PISSED TOO.
-technus being like 'oh smart, u should be a tutor!' then later being like 'forget tutor, be a teacher!' :) supportive king <3 I also really like his upgraded suit/design. AND SPOCK CAMEO??? HELLO??
-the music in this show is super. its so funky. I looked it up and the guy who does it, guy moon (awesome name) also did music for other cartoons like fairly odd parents, barnyard, chalkzone, billy & mandy, AND some actual movies like FIGHT CLUB??? the whiplash I got from reading that)
-sam being rich explains a lot about her, actually.
-I know the moral of the episode was supposed to be 'dont ditch your friends for popular people/spend a lot of money on clothes that arent You to Fit In'. but tbh. it wouldve been easy for danny to have been like 'well, okay, ill come but only if my friends can!' but I get. that hes 14. so. not a lot to say there.
-BOX GHOST IS BACK!!!!! also, danny sitting up and wearing the dress/wig/makeup. umm thats how I dress everyday LMFAO. unironically me. (hate the jokes that boil down to 'haha funney man in dress' tho. but this is a look)
-jazz being protective of her brother once again being like NOOO YOU GUYS BETTER NOT STAKE OUT HIS (actually haunted) LOCKER!! shes aware of how people perceive him and she wants to help :( which is also probably why she told dash to invite him to that party even tho she had no interest in going!! she wants to help him out :(
-gotta say im with tucker on the whole 'should danny use his powers to get back at bullies' debate. 100% yes. let him teach kids to fight back. making dash throw his food at paulina out of the blue? no. but when hes actually about to pick on someone? yeah! for self defense? YEAH! if dash and his friends just threw food at him, I think rather than. idk doing sneaky shit with frogs he couldve just threw it back and not pulled punches if they tried to fight. I kNOOWWW its a kids show so they are like 'if u fight back ur just as bad!! violence bad!!' but. theyre HIS POWERS. WHO CARES.
-like my only gripe is that dash really isnt LEARNING ANYTHING WHEN DANNY GETS BACK AT HIM IN THE MOST PETTY INDIRECT WAYS. whatever they had to add a bully psa episode I guess. I hate it and I hate the way cartoons usually handle it because these methods simply Do Not Work. 'aND YouRE USinG YOur poWErs FOR EVill???!' this is Not Evil. even when poindexter takes dannys body, theyre only being 'nice' bc hes stealing soda for them!! bitches deserve what they get (nothing too brutal bc theyre high schoolers but damn, if they pick on danny he doesnt need to be the 'bigger person' he needs to start biting people)
-SAM TRYING TO SMUGGLE FROGS OUT OF THE BIO LAB?? girl in middle school when we had to dissect frogs we could opt out, also, they came to us already dead and preserved...
-sidney's lingo and the fact hes in black and white is sending me. also, danny is a ghost celebrity apparently for being a halfa?? ok. thats interesting to know
-the DENTIST BEING EXCITED ABOUT THE COTTON CANDY FLOOD IS THE FUNNIEST THING SO FAR.
-I LOOOVE the trope of 'wishes gone wrong'. not crazy about the stereotypical genie, or the use of the dreamcatcher looking design. (also, I KNOW theyre scientists but the way theyre handling a cold...are the fentons ANTIVAX)
-the genie. she. whitewished paulina. JKASDFHKJ. (the ghost literally just being hello kitty???? im dying) 'why do i feel that im special and wonderful? because I AM! <3' paulina ilu self worth queen. felt bad for her also getting possessed by (2) boys later who were arguing INSIDE HER. WTF.
-imagine being the guy trapped in his now flying car. he thought danny and tucker were HALUCINATIONS. imagine being trapped in a flying car with two, what you think are imaginary arguing 14 year olds convinced ur gonna die. i WOULD say this dude is gonna need so much therapy, but he seemed totally fine and excited when they landed (I would be happy too if a chicken was on my head. chickens rule) stoner rights
-sam's bat slippers??? iconic. SO cute.
-I think desiree's backstory is so :( do all ghosts have messed up sad backstories?? poindexter's was sad too...cannot imagine box ghost has any kind of fucked up backstory. but what if. his mom got pushed off cliffs by boxes...........a la cruella... anyway her 'no man may lay a hand on me' iconic. ilu
-I know danny has no concept of how much bras cost but my god dont attack tucker with some girls bra. those are so expensive.
-its really. well its not a GOOD THING he went into the portal and got fucked up, but its good danny was the one to do it rather than sam or tucker. because even tho he was being influenced by desiree and kept getting more malicious and it prob wasnt 100% him...he sucked as a ghost like most the people he 'pranked' were innocent ppl just Chillin and he didnt want to help anyone at all. I think danny is the most responsible out of them but also, hes 14 and shouldnt HAVE to feel obligated to fight every ghost. hes a good kid and wants to, but I also feel like he feels like...responsible for the portal turning on?? because his parents did give it up,, but it was an accident and not his fault (if anything, why was the on switch on the inside. why was it that easy. why was there no safety measures. that seems like smth OSHA needs to hear about). like thats my son. hes a good boy. and hes never done anything wrong in his life, ever. if anyone hurts him im killing everyone in this room and then myself. etc.
-danny's curfew is 10PM????? DUDE. when I was 14...shit I couldn't be out that late, I had to be back at like, 8 at the latest, and my parents had to know exactly where and who I was going with, AND i had to call/text them regularly...is this a case of my parents being overbearing, or the fentons sucking??? the only time i could EVER be out that late was if I was at an overnight sleepover or smth...
-the vultures have lil fezes. why do they have fezes...theyre so fuckin funny 'ask him for directions' 'I KNOW WHERE IM GOING' these ghost vultures are my new grandpas. pick them up, put them in the adopt box.
-'I wonder why those guys were trying to waste dad!' THEYRE GHOSTS. YOUR DAD HUNTS GHOSTS. why is that not a conclusion you'd immediately jump to??
-*jazz voice, clearly disgusted* WISCONSIN???
-mrs fenton with the lab coat and leg warmers and PERM. YESSS STYLISH.
-was going to say 'ew billionaire' @vlad but. super valid he used his powers to assumedly steal and cheat to get that money, thats how all billionaires do it! but ew hes a SIMP. and spending your billions on FOOTBALL STUFF?? you are Not Valid overall. I DO respect the fact you have a castle instead of a mansion. in wisconsin. if youre going to be stupidly rich might as well go all out, torches on the wall and all. I DO like his ghost form's little kitty ears. catman. and his cape! every design can benefit from a cape. and how different his forms look, like danny looks the EXACT SAME IN BOTH FORMS ASIDE FROM COLOR CHANGES. vlad's is like,, I could believe they were different people!! also I love the drama. but dude you are fighting a 14 year old. lame. also he was like, telling danny he wanted his mom and him and like, wanted him to renounce his dad?? WHAT ABOUT JAZZ?? bitch. those r MY kids and they are both important and special. I do agree they need better parents but thats not u sir <3
-I thought vlad's 'little badger' nickname for danny came from the football mascot of the packers, but google says they have NO MASCOT?? so now I'm like?? is it because his hair is sometimes black and sometimes white?? I hate to give him props but thats a PERFECT NICKNAME. theyre also tiny and vicious!
-why did I get so excited that Skulker is back!! its been like. 2-3 eps LMAO. AND THE DAIRY KING. ICONIC I LOVE HIM. hes the nicest guy ever :) more nice ghosts please. danny cannot be fighting alone everytime with no ghost buds like every ghost being hostile sucks :(
-mr. fenton knew vlad was controlling him, but a few episodes ago he had no clue danny was doing the same thing...is it something about how malicious the ghost is?? he just seemed to think his memory had gaps the first time, this time he was INSTANTLY LIKE 'GHOST'. then again in this ep when danny did it again he was just slightly confused but not immediately freaking out like he did with vlad possessing him!!
-'my parents will accept ME NO MATTER WHAT' so. so why haven't you come out to them yet, danny?? if you really think that?? if theres no harm, and you're sure??? if vlad is a real problem, wouldnt that make dealing with him easier, to expose him???? SO WHY HAVENT YOU COME OUT YET?? COULD IT BE,, MAYBE YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT WHETHER YOUR PARENTS ACTUALLY WILL ACCEPT YOU??? 🤔 ... 🏳🌈 I get why people say He Is Trans. I totally totally get u danny.
-sorta unrelated, but it just occurred to me in one of these eps they go to casper HIGH not casper middle school??? theyre 14?? dont highschools usually do ages 15-18? (I didnt go to hs so I might be wrong, if I am ignore this...) freshmen are usually 14-15, could just be a case of them not turning 15 yet but they will sometime in the school year (I say they because tucker said he was 14 too)? I know the show has 3 seasons, so by the end of it will they be older? thatd be neat but usually cartoon characters stay the same age...I love shows where you can see the characters age and grow up, though...three seasons seems like a long time to spend on like, 1 year...
#sanchoyorambles#danny phantom#me on the first post:#its not a liveblog!#me this time: it kinda is. but not in the same format as my tmm one#i like doing one post for a handful of eps bc it saves time#and crowds my blog less#and also i just like talking abt what im watching lol#dp thoughts

V-Journal <Halfa>
Entry 6: 17/08/2004
Halfa
-Being that dangling between the threat of life and death it self.
Like Wise they have many type:
+Nature occurance via getting caught in a natural open portal/Mono Core:
Are rather short lived. Longest lasting one usually can only live for 1-2 year. But if the transition fully to death stated didn’t result in their core crack leading to fading then said Ghost would gain the ability to open Portal Between realm.
+Forced/ Alchemist / Occult method:
Usually result in victim death, not just the kind of fading away. But the Victim use in these said method melt into some sort of mindless green goo monster that latch on anything with soul signal to drain the victim of it.
>Do Not :Touch them or use Ecto base attack or Spirit magic on them. >Kill method: At Least Sun Surface Lv of Fire or Sub Zero Deep Frost +Illegal Ribbone Stealing+Occult+Natural Birth: Base on document i scavanged from the wasted GIW headquarter, infancy death rate and miscarried are high. >My lil Angel Baby Daughter Ellie is born from this method >She is the only success speciment out of hundred if not thousand fail attemp at trying to recreated me. ^ The project is shut down 10 year ago after the GIW got completely obliterated by an Unknown Focus Ghosts Attack. I will make sure it stay that way, thing like this should never happened again >Ellie a Shinning ray of sunshine . My lil girl also have same dual core as me althought her Ghost core are stronger then her Spirit Core. Making her really weak and pront to sickness if over use ghost Power. ... Spirit core<Fire>-Ghost core<Wind> >Age 11. Death caused: Core failure >Obsession : None <Althought she really love Speeding around and looking at the Star in the Sky, We actually went to the moon once, little to say it was haunted... by alien ghost. Horrible vacation yes. But good memories to look back and laugh about also yes.> +Scientific Method/ Chimera Soul / Unworld Vampire Ghost +Dual Core, Each core have it own personality and core Element Example: Main Spirit core Vlad (Fire)- (Earth) Ghost Core Plasmius <Imagine wake up having memories and look of a monke , sharing everything with said monke and no memories of what you are, that what Plas describe chimera soul halfa to be like ...Also he name himself that not me. To me it like having an annoying lazy evil twin living rent free in your head> +After getting flunk back few hundred year in time. I discovered that i’m immortal. I look like i haven’t aged even a day ...My look change depend on how mentally mature i’m or feeling at the moment. Seem like after Ellie passing away i have been rapidly aging to the point that i can actually grow a goatee now. +I can’t be killed, if one Core is exhaused the other core will take pilot sit in place of the exhaused core, this cover the case if both core got damage, I would go into a comatoes State that last for few month, my body got auto poof back to my Ghost realm. When both core is fully recovered i poof back to existence . Simple. Plas theorize that this ability might come from the states of mind that i’m at when i die, A soul ready to move on to next life, which created an enclose life,death and rebirth cycle. +Anatomy wise: Halfa anatomy are similar to Normal Human with slight alteration in ghost form that replaced or organic matter with ectoplasm.< that cover the inside too> +Obsession: I personally don’t have one < no plas that just me being a normal football fan> - Plasmius on the other hand antique ,Snow globe and shiny artifact < For old ghost it hard to figure out what their true obsession is caused their current one is a very twisted unrelated version of the original obsession, I suspect it having something to do with Family seeing how equally enrage Plas is when Our lil girl got hurt. Only time we ever agree about something> +Scientific Method / Perfect Synth/ Purgatory Avatar: +Daniel James Fenton, Age 14. +Dual core, Both are perfect copy of each other and operate in synth. Element originally i thought the boy just have 2 element like me, Turn out he have all. The Boy develop power at an incredible Speed, What took me 20 year to Develop took him mere 3 month. +At first i thought he is also a short lived one due to how scrawny and sickly he look. Turn out Daniel is just living under constant stress and unknowingly shift his own form to reflect that, He is doing much better now, getting taller and looking way more lively then when we first meet. <was he an immortal Halfa too ? i can’t tell> +After the Ghost king incident....Sometime i can see a faded glowing Green crown appear on his head. Seem like after the Original King is nuke off from the plane of existence. The crown/ ring link to his reign melt off. Many powerful ghost in the zone is being mark with this green crown... It seem to signal that the ghost is a King candidate marked by Purgatory it self... +Obsession: Space/Love? +For some reason he can access all ghost domain without the Host ghost permition. Poor kid don’t even know he been breaking into ded people house until i point it out after he just walted into my personal locked Domain. >Those idiot Gov GIW organization never learn, How many time must i Distroy this stupid organization. This time they even attemp to replicated the event that give daniel power.....But from this i also discovered that fatality rate in these experiement is 100% on all subject <even after transition to death, the should be form ghost core never form, they just got straight up got erased>....We must have something that those poor soul don’t have to survived and be cursed with this aren’t we .

Halfas each have their own unique vocal attack
Ok so headcanon time!
Halfas each have their own version of the ghostly wail, each unique, each their own sound, each their own destructive ability, each ectoplasmicly charged with different emotions. These vocal attacks only develop under extreme circumstances in which the halfa's emotions are running very high, and whatever emotions are present in the first development of the power dictate what exactly the power does.
First lets start off with Danny and his ghostly wail. I specify Danny's ghostly wail because, despite calling it the same thing, he and Dan do not have the same vocal attack. Danny's ghostly wail is a yell or a howling war cry. It is a directional attack that has a cone-shaped path of destruction. It takes a lot of energy out of him because it is a very very strong power for someone his age and power level. His ghostly wail is charged with fear and anger, and in order to adequately use it he has to be feeling both of those emotions regardless of which is strongest.
Now to Dan. Dan's ghostly wail has a more shriek-like quality to it and has a vastly larger path of destruction than Danny's, but that is more or less where the differences in the actual power itself end. Dan's ghostly wail is charged with anger, like Danny's, but instead of fear he has frustration.
Vlad. Hooo boy. Vlad has his shriek of the damned. And, like the name implies, it is a very shrill shriek like that of a tortured soul trapped within the deepest bowels of hell. The sound on its own is enough to shatter glass and burst eardrums. Add to that an ectoplasmic charge and you have yourself a 100% lethal superweapon. It is a radial attack that travels much like normal sound waves and is often at the right frequency to be fatal to humans. The shriek of the damned is charged with fear, suffering, and a hint of doomed acceptance.
Dani hasn't been in an extreme enough situation to develop hers yet and so she has absolutely no idea what it will be like, but she already knows what she's going to call it: Dani-elling. An adorable lil pun on her name and yelling.

Okay I love worldbuilding, so here's ghost cores as I interpret them:
A ghost's core in it's main organ and the center of their being. While some ghosts mimic human anatomy and therefore have facsimiles of other organs that are fully ectoplasmic made (and a halfa's human organs don't go anywhere when they transform), a ghost's core is it's only real organ. They transmit ambient ectoenergy throughout the ghost's form, filter impurities, and host the consciousness/soul.
In the current era, most ghosts' cores are in their torso and approximately the size of their fist with their other hand wrapped around it. However, in previous eras, ghosts would have more easily accessible cores: one that could be accessed just by touching their skin. This is unsafe, and could easily lead to a severe core injury. This is why Clockwork has a glass case on his chest.
Of course, because cores are a ghost's only real organ, if it suffers damage it's... bad. If a ghost is hurt in a way their core can't produce enough energy to heal, the ghost can fade away, their core giving out and their form returning to ambient ectoplasm. If they're injured in a way where they are losing their ectoplasm/blood faster than their core can heal the injury, they can destabilize - melt down into liquid ectoplasm. If their core is injured, and they survive, their powers are going to be extremely limited.
I'm incapable of being concise with things lmao, as my friend Habato says, it's REALLY clear that I've been thinking about this worldbuilding for ten years. This isn't even me going into full detail.
Anyway, there are a few items that can influence a ghost's powerset: their death and major factors of their life, of course, but how and where they form also implies. Most ghosts who were human carry some scar or mark of what killed them. If they form in an area with weaker, low quality ectoplasm, or are moved from their forming spot partway through, then this scar will be more significant.
Our best boy Danny lucked out on this front: he's a special lil anomaly. While most ghosts take between five weeks and five years to finish forming, he was blasted with so much energy that he took only a handful of minutes to form.
Frostbite claims that Danny's 'central core' is cold, and icy. This isn't incorrect.
At it's base form, a ghost's core has the main powers - intangibility, invisibility, flight, ectoblasts. There are others that can form along this line - overshadowing, telekinesis, teleporting (or travelling via a cloud of mist), and potentially some form shape shifting. But a ghost's physical form and their core are all very perception based - and their perception comes from their memories of life, their death, and their personality. So slowly, things can change. A ghost with a warmer core can cool down, a ghost with a cold core can melt to let flowers grow, and it's not unheard of for a ghost to have something like fire and electricity, or nature and water in their powerset. Not common, but not remarkably rare.
In terms of elements, there are: Water Ice (Cold) Fire (Hot) Electricity Mind Nature (Flora) Nature (Sediment) Emotion Light Creation And others, some being a mixture of pieces of the above, and some being more loosely defined.
While most ghosts do gain strength through positive social feedback (who wouldn't?) there are others, like Ember, who have something like that directly tied into their central being and powerset. Spectra as well, but with misery - a qualifier like that is necessary to be an emotion core. And a ghost with a creation core could do anything from using their powers to transform one rock to a cooler rock, to creating something out of nothing. It depends on who the ghost is.
In most cases, there aren't actually real core 'elements.' There is no qualifier that a ghost will have powers from this specific group and no others. However, Cold and Hot cores are a special case: it's very common for a ghost to form with either of those and lack elemental powers on the level someone like Danny has.
Things about their form will change - they will have a different ambient temperature from other ghosts, for one. Aside from hot cores, ghosts run colder than humans, with cold cores being significantly cooler. An unstable cold core may freeze things, while a hot core in the same situation may singe or melt them. They do better in their respective element, and spending too long in an unsuitable environment can result in core-exhaustion and flu-like symptoms.
So, core elements aren't a real technical term beyond hot and cold, and are moreso labels with a loose definition that a ghost can apply to themself to define their identity and find others who feel similar. For plenty, that involves ignoring the common terms and creating their own!
That isn't it, though.
There are a few other qualifiers beside hot, cold, and the default.
First, we have adaptable cores.
Adaptable are very rare - so of course, Danny, our special little anomaly, is one. He's a cold core, but he's an adaptable one.
Adaptable Cores take the residual ecto-energy of powers used near them and try to reverse engineer the power. And of course, perception plays a role too - does this ghost view something as outside of their abilities? Like Danny, watching Vlad duplicate? It's going to be a lot more difficult to reverse engineer. But others, particularly during moments of desperation? Like his ghostly wail, after seeing his future self use it? And being put in a situation where he had nothing else available to him? It doesn't matter how long it took Dan to learn, because Danny needs it now and his core will get it for him.
If a ghost's existence is in danger, an Adaptable Core will create whatever power it takes to save them. It's exhausting, and takes a lot of energy - sure is a good thing then that Danny was exposed to such high amounts and supreme quality of ecto-energy that he formed in a few minutes, then!
Next, we have Observants. They like to be special. The Observants all have incredibly similar core makeup, with almost no special powers aside from those they learn in their jobs. Observants are neverborn ghosts - that is, never human. When more are needed, they form as adults, approximately our equivalent of early twenties. Occasionally, they do get abnormalities, and an Observant will form with an unauthorized ability. Originally, in this case, they were culled - however, the current Asset Coordinator, who's job is to turn problems like that into assets, has been doing such a stupendous job that the Observants haven't needed to cull defects lately! Yay!
The other thing about Observants is that they already form with a shapeshifting power, that would allow them to transform themselves into a normal ghost who doesn't resemble an Observant at all! But shh, that's a secret!
And then, finally, we have my personal babies: Life Cores and Death Cores.
So the legend goes, Life and Death Cores were once one - and only belonged to one ancient ghost. They spoke up in defense of the other ghosts in the realm, and had their core torn from their chest as punishment. The core was broken into several pieces and spread throughout the zone - but this ghost was so old and ancient, that even without their core, their body persisted. Dormant without it's soul, but far from gone.
In practice, life and death cores form in pairs - when one forms, and other won't be far behind. They compliment each other: life cores have a weaker pain tolerance and faster healing factor, while death cores have a significant pain tolerance and healing factor barely better than humans. They're also extremely difficult to end in any way - life cores reform if destabilized, stitching their form back together. It's painful, but it works. Death Cores are almost impossible to make fade, and anything that's not from their own form which gets close to their core has a tendency to well... melt.
Life cores bring the bonds of ectoplasm closer together - giving them healing powers and for active life cores, the ability to reform any recently-destabilized ghosts. Death Cores force them farther apart - giving an ability akin to torturing someone, or causing them direct pain. For active Death Cores, they can destabilize ghosts.
But what does active mean in this case? Well, it means that they're, at the moment, the only one with their core in the world.
There's an alternating pattern to life and death cores - for each set, one has to die before the other. One set, it will be the life core who has to die before the death core can, and in the next the death core has to die before the life core, so on and so forth. When half of a pair dies, the remaining member gets a significant power boost. When their predecessor with the same core type passes, their core activates, and is able to take in and exchange levels of energy that are almost incomprehensible. But why does this matter?
Well, Clockwork is a Life Core. The previous Master of Time was a Death Core. It's a position that is passed down and overseen by the Observants. Only an active death or life core is strong enough to hold all powers over time and combat the instability that risks causes paradoxes, tears in the fabric of reality, alternate timelines, or collapse points.
I could go on. I could go into ghosts building objects with pieces of their cores, and I have an entirely different world with different rules for Observants/Life Cores/Death Cores. But this has been my core overview! It's fun! I love worldbuilding :D
Someone needs to give me a crash course on ghost cores. I know its all fanon and theres no one particular "established rule". Ive seen only elemental cores and ive seen aspect cores (ex. Love, time).
The world building you all come up with for it is so cool i want to know more. Please reblog/reply with ur spark notes for dp ghost cores
#Currently Talking#idk what tags I had for lore since I mostly just make people listen to me talk about it on discord#anyway I've been here for 10 years and have more than a touch of the tism. a whole spoonful. arguably more.#anyway lore time gang#I only talk about cw a little bit! look at that self control
