#I ran out of tag room on the last one - or I wouldve continued lmao; but I'm surprised you read it all anyways thank you!

I wasn't expecting a reply @chaos-bringer-13 , so I hope I'm not too forward when I say that I am pleasantly surprised! You definitely made my day! :)

I am about to get lengthy down below (and also kinda cringe), so I will be putting this linebreak!

[ - - ]

And Yes!! Mediator Danny, just some dude coming in and saying "alright everyone, circle time", and everyone stopping to listen like children lmao. I like the concept of him being a neutral party, because he feels like the sort to empathize with a whole slew of different ideas, backgrounds, and characters, and with his natural charisma, it's hard to hate a guy that tries so hard. Danny is a likable person, a "do no harm but take no shit" sorta dude and honestly? What a vibe.

His ability to calm people/entities/ghost/etc down and resolve a situation, or give good advice that really helps another should be uncanny. I feel like it should anyways, but that might be because he has a genuinity to help. Leaning into that "come on guys, can't we just like? calm down? talk about it or duke it out somewhere else? maybe eat some souls of the innocent?" attitude and everyone following along with an "well alright."

Maybe, if we lean into the idea of Danny symbolizing Balance, that being Balance can produce a natural calming aura that can help soothe those in distress. Like, a 'life aura'? In opposition, he could also have a 'death aura' that makes others cower in fear or feel subjugation under a domineering force? If he can utilize both, I think Danny could be prime Mediator material; imagine the situations! But I feel silly now, talking about something like this haha,,,

You just can't stay mad at him for long either? He's like this little (powerful) thing and he's looking up at you with the most disappointed mom look[tm], not actually mad at you but damn it'd be better if he was because what're you supposed to do with that?? "Yes Sir, Sorry Sir (;´Д｀)"

Haha, had a story idea:

Big scary Entity, on a rampage and is just so Mad, and they're just destroying everything, a lot of property damage really. The J.L. is at a complete lost because they can't calm them down or land a good hit, resorting to doing what they can in the background. (ie. evacuation and reducing damages as much as possible)

Que Danny, having heard about the commotion, and he's walking up without a second thought. Cool as a cucumber, hands in his pockets like a suave MFer despite being the epitome of a human toothpick.

Entity looks down at this Dude[tm] and is clearly raising an eyebrow, like who is this? By description, probably that chihuahua that everyone keeps talking about, being some peace maker or whatever. This big scary entity is still big time mad though, so they really don't want to entertain pipsqueak here.

Doesn't stop Danny, he's so stubborn that not even death has a grip on him. He's like, hold it right there buddy boy, we've got words to share 'ere. Mid-western politeness taken to a whole other level, he ain't just stopping you at the door but at city destruction now.

Thing's gotta be rigged, because somehow Danny is making this Entity vent out their madness in a safer manner. Danny is thinking he's channeling Jazz Fenton like a pro, like this is what my sister would do right? In a way, he's right, but there is a difference between mediator and therapist. The Entity comes back to reality at a complete loss, because they were just destroying the buildings - how did they find themself sitting down and talking??

The J.L. is equally dumbfounded; excuse us, what just happened? They aint a clue, because Danny did what they were trying to do, but Better[tm].

Danny, after consuling the Entity: - and what would your Mother think? She'd be so Upset wouldn't she?

Entity, tearing up: M, mommy?? (´；д；｀)

[ - - ]

Omg, aaaa!! I like how you mention that Tucker gave such vital information for the sake that his friend gets to stargaze whenever he wants. Like!! They're such buds!! brohams!! They have a great relationship with one another!!

On the other hand, J.L. sighing in relief over an easy trade; like oh wow that's it? so easy, thank goodness, haha.

Danny thinking he's just having good ol' friendly debate with this random being that popped up outta nowhere, but he's actually solving a crisis that may or may not disolve a kingdom or two. Like, "oh yeah, maybe doing such-and-such and so-and-so could help with that tension", and the random being is hurriedly jotting down notes. Danny saying something along the lines of, "It'd be nice if this Kingdom and that Civilization would get along better, because I think they'd benefit from it more." And here's ten reasons why they would benefit. Then whoa, who just drafted this entire in-depth peace deal, with great trade from both sides and a strengthening in their economics?? Must be Gary, he's always had a way with words.

I wonder if, at any point, Danny will realize he has essentially taken on a leading role in how the Ghost Zone/Infiniti Realms functions or that he is the leading cause of its new laws/treaties/etc. Or will he be completely oblivious/in denial of the entire situation?

Danny: Well, I can't be King - I don't have a death certificate!

Observant, revealing said certificate with a magic poof: You do, actually, have one.

Danny, taken aback but not surprised: Alright well, uh. I can't because I don't have a higher education?

It's as if he had a Gotcha moment, because Danny points triumphantly: Right yeah, I don't even have a highschool diploma!

The Observant isn't phased, and they present that customer service smile: You needn't worry, we are a very inclusive realm where your former education doesn't matter in terms of qualification for kingliship.

Danny, stupified, trying to come up with something: Uh um well. My parents said... no?? You uh don't have their signature or whatever??

The Observant, a little confused but looking through their paperwork anyways, and finds that NO they didn't get a guardian's signature (since Danny is technically a minor ghostling): Drats!

Danny, looking at you like in The Office:

I am not good artist, but I did really like your prompt; I thought it was funny scenario haha! :)

[ script; Listen, I don't really care. (Actually cares a lot.)

end script. ]

I had the idea to draw more, but I unfortunately had neither the time or energy to do so; I'm sorry about that. :(

If I manage to do so, I'll be sure to add it onto the thread! But until then, I hope this little piece is alright!

I've seen a lot of people writing Danny as a space ancient and Dan and Dani as ghosts with moon and sun cores, being sort of parts, versions of Danny and therefore weaker. Now, consider: Dan and Dani are both powerful ghosts with really cool cores and stuff but Danny is just some guy™

Dan, who came from an alternate timeline and is kind of from the future but also not, is Clockwork's apprentice and will eventually become an ancient of time. He probably only agreed to have some lessons with Clockwork to understand better what happened to him, but he enjoys his apprenticeship now.

Dani, with her love of travelling, loves seeing all the different places the world offers to her, and that includes space and different planets and maybe even parallel universes, and she accidentally ends up being an apprentice of the space ancient. For now she's probably a baby ancient of freedom or something like that, but she might become an ancient of space in the future.

We can also have something like Dan having a core of destruction or Dani being the Speed Force if you want it to be dcxdp, or any headcanon of yours about their cool powers.

And then there's Danny. And yeah, everyone knows that he's super powerful, but also he's just some guy.

It can go different routes. Does everyone know that Danny is just Danny? Or do they think that with siblings (well, technically a clone and an alternate version, but whatever) so powerful, he must be even stronger? Is Danny actually something terrifyingly eldritch and ancient and strong, almost a god, but he just doesn't know himself? Or is he just really some guy?

Now, because it's obvious that I have a dcxdp brainrot, have a regular "JL summons/meets a powerful ghost" but its Dan and Dani, and they keep mentioning their original/brother who won a fight against them at some point. The JL is very concerned about Dan and Dani's godlike powers, and they can't imagine what Danny is like. And then they meet him (in his human form), and it's just a young adult in casual clothes, very friendly and helpful, with no evident powers. Imagine the confusion. Imagine Dan and Dani, radiating power, in their eldritch ghost forms, admitting that fighting Danny for real is the dumbest thing to do and not even they would succeed... And then there's Danny is jeans and silly t-shirt, waving shyly.
