#also jack would be ecstatic over vladdie having a kid his own kids age

[goblinhoursinsomniaramblings]

so i just remembered an AU idea i had as an excuse for same-aged vlad and danny while keeping older vlad around too

the basic premise is an AU of Kindred Spirits. vlad is fully aware he doesn't have the scans of Danny's power to make a full clone. an unstable clone could melt before it gets the data he needs. but he does have the full data of a different half-ghost to make a stable clone who will fully understand his plans and motivations and get the job done!

enter Vlad Masters II (i call him MJ in my head, both as a nod to danny phantom sharing several elements with the 90s spider-man cartoons and storylines, and as a shortening of his full name that isn't blatantly a diminuitive of Vlad's name). vlad's 'son' who has been 'away at boarding school' and neess to stay with his 'godparents' to go to Casper high and get some normalcy. he does fully understand Vlad's motivations. and that means he plans to backstab dear old dad at the first opportunity and help Danny, while fighting uphill against the fact he could very well be a fuckin' liar

featuring: fucked-up explorations of Vlad's self-loathing, danny getting a friend who actually gets his issues as a half-ghost, a setup for Vlad moving to Amity Park ahead of season 3, awkward nerd teen Vlad fighting with post-accident obsession-blinded Vlad, and plenty of jokes about pompep classic and same age pompep because seriously, why would you not make those jokes with this setup.
