#So it's like. Danny having the same range of equally valid depictions as jarchivist is fascinating to me

Honestly I think it's wonderful that despite Danny Phantom being an animated full color show where every character has a Canon appearance, it is still a fandom with insane variation in fan depictions of the characters.

Part of this is due to the character designs having so much room to be even cooler, or the character low-key being wronged by the artstyle (I love you Tucker but you were just not meant to be drawn like that.)

But then there's also the thing that even I noticed when watching Danny Phantom- the lighting in the show makes Danny's skin color change. Like... quite distinctly. I know it's just lighting but Sam is still very light skinned when the ghost lighting comes into play and Danny... just isn't.

There isn't anything wrong with this obv and I'm not trying to be weird by pointing this out, but it's one of those things where you look at fanart of Danny and that pasty white boy and that heavily tanned white boy and that ambiguous boy and that mixed boy and that poc boy are all equally valid interpretations because the show decided it wanted to have funky lighting. And I think that's wonderful honestly.
