#also honestly also the moment when phantom says he stole fenton's phone lmFAO

Okay I cannot express how much I love your undercover au, it is PERFECTION

I also couldn’t stop thinking about more potential fenton-phantom connections drawn by Sam and Tucker, and their shenaniganery. So, assuming Danny did the whole time-travel dealio here with the infi-map or similar, I’m just imagining Sam and Tucker (mainly Sam) being utterly confused because everything else points to Phantom being more recently dead — his clothes, his speech, astronaut career, etc. So Sam is just [insert cork board conspiracy meme here] because these ancient scripts describe Phantom way too accurately. Could it be that Phantom had ghost relatives — “is that even a thing Sam?” — or is he actually that old? — “what if it was time travel?” “Hush Tucker this is the goth realm not sci-fi” — and they are basically certain Phantom is a modern ghost, how else could he be connected to Fenton?, but still somehow coming to every conclusion except the right one regarding the Phantom-in-the-past stuff.

Also I’m imagining Sam and Tucker investigating haunted houses or something, perhaps trying to take a load of Phantom’s shoulders, or because they’re now into the supernatural. Maybe they drag Fenton along because “we must educate him on the ways of ghosting”. So Sam and Tucker are just doing the whole Buzzfeed Unsolved gig, not letting Fenton out of their sight because “ah novice” while Danny tries to sneakily fight the invisible demon in the background that human eyes can’t see while pretending nothing is wrong. (“This is what is known as a summoning circle, it summons demons.” [Danny, acting like he’s leaning against a wall while really trying to non-conspicuously choke a demon] “You don’t say”. — “these demons are wimps! Oh, Danny did you fall again?” [Danny, having “tripped” in order to pin a demon from tackling Tucker/Sam]. “Yep, tripped, that’s exactly what happened”)

Ahdjhfds omFG. All of this. Sam and Tuck trying to educate “novice” Danny Fenton on the supernatural is comedy GOLD. And Sam with her conspiracy corkboard because all of her work penciling in a timeframe for Phantom's life and death has just imploded with this rouge element of ancient descriptions of Phantom—plus, them realizing he’s a modern ghost reminds me of this conversation I had with @dp-belongs-in-a-hoodie the other day so please enjoy their huge brain—

Kei: I was looking at you recent posts and read the one about Sam slowly compiling facts Abt Phantom to figure out when he died and I just takajalsjaos maybe super early on one of the lil hints is just how well versed Phantom seems to be in modern/internet slang

~ something good happens ~

Phantom: o shit, pog

Sam and Tucker: ???????

Phantom : sweats I uh... I watch twitch streams on my phone. You know. My phone you guys remember my phone. Being a ghost, I have a lot of time to kill haha!!!! finger guns

Also,,, I was thinking about how you can reverse search a phone number and find out who it's registered to (or the name on the phone plan and what carrier) ,,,,,, can you imagine if Sam and Tuck searched Phantoms phone number and found out it was registered to the Fenton's ???

Phantom panicking : oKAY. you caught me..... I,,,,, stole,,, Danny Fenton's phone awhile ago,,,

Art: Akdjdjdkd but them finding out Phantom has fenton’s phone makes them go “oh that tracks” because Danny had lied as fenton that he didn’t have a phone. so there’s a moment where they’re just nodding and then it’s like. “WAIT. GIVE IT BACK”

Kei: Danny internally just like : holy fuck I actually got away with that??????

also have this piece of pure unadulterated gamerspeak

Kei: Phantom talking abt something cool he did in the past: yeah, but dude no cap, it was based as hell

Tucker: Kekw

Sam: if either of you start fortnite dancing I'm leaving
