danny phantom 14-20 thoughts!! I finished up s1 :D these last few eps were actually really really good!!!
-did. did tucker really just say esperanto was a dead language only spoken as a secret code between geeks. google says around 100,000 people actively speak it. oh my god...it being an auxiliary language doesn't mean its 'just for geeks to speak in code' ...it helps bridge gaps between people who don't have a language in common...
-danny really isn't pulling punches when it comes to fighting the ghost-cop possessed people huh. like he SLAMMED KWAN INTO THE CONCRETE SO HARD. HE THREW PAULINA INTO A BILLBOARD. will that...I mean it WOULD carry over to their bodies non-possessed, right? like if the ghost piloting their bodies gets hurt?? itd be so upsetting to be possessed, lose time, then wake up covered in bruises (and possibly, broken bones??) real horror movie stuff im sure wont be addressed in any way
-tuckers parents seem nice! I like them :)
-WULF IS CUTE AND I FEEL BAD. im so glad the gang realized he was only causing trouble bc of the shock collar walker put on him and helped. also, him wearing that big hoodie with the hood on, and thinking its subtle. we can tell youre still a giant wolfie :) THEN GETTING SUCKED INTO THE PORTAL AAAAH :( anxiously waiting to see Him Again....
-DANNY BLASTING HIS PARENTS THINKING THEY WERE OVERSHADOWED LMFAO GET THEIR ASSES. maddie marking how many ghosts she gets with lipstick tallies on the side of her portal gun? kindaaa iconic tho. (ALSO, SHE WAS LIKE, 2 FT AWAY FROM HIM RIGHT AFTER SHE TRIED TO SHOOT HIM. HOW DO YOU NOT RECONINZE YOUR OWN SON??? like sure, he might have diff hair/eye colors. but like, if one of my family members dyed their hair, and was wearing contacts, its not like id be like 'wHO IS THIS STRANGER!!!' ...he still has all his facial features!! same everything!!! I hate it here)
-paulina being #1 girl realizing danny's a friendly ghost immediately. smart queen. lancer and kwan ran away right after he made this sweet baby face at them:
which is hilarious.
-ok. im not saying his bullying is JUSTIFIED, but. dash looked so pleased with the (cute!) poster he just painted, and danny comes thru the wall and spills paint on his nice letterman jacket. his anger is justified maybe 65% of the time so far...(not the way he handles it, but STILL.) at least lancer is stepping in!! and them making a silly little bet was...cute?? until dash pulled out his GROSS UNDERWEAR AND SAID DANNY WOULD HAVE TO EAT THEM???? WHAT THE FUCK MAN. TUCKER WAS SO RIGHT ITS FUCKING WEIRD TO CARRY THOSE AROUND EWWW. THIS KID IS UNWELL. lancer was right, his animatronic setup was SUPER IMPRESSIVE?? hes actually pretty creative. danny meanwhile is stealing the fright knight's design...I hope dash is taking art classes or smth with his sports
-fright knight is the most bestest ghost so far i LOVE THAT DESIGN. I am biased towards knights, and characters with swords, but he fucks so severely. and should sue danny for copyright infringement for stealing his design for his haunted house. if some 14 yr old broke into MY house and stole MY sword, id also be pissed. his evil winged unicorn rules too with its FANGS. and he just CAN SHOVE THE PORTAL OPEN WITH HIS HANDS??? is he the strongest ghost weve seen so far? idk but hes my fav. SOUL SHREDDER IS SUCH A COOL SWORD NAME TOO. ANY NAMED SWORD ALSO FUCKS. 'flaming bedsheets of DEATH' funny king. ALSO he was polite to dash and tucker when just asking for directions and telling tucker 'oh maybe, just a suggestion, maybe be nicer to me and be more respectful :)' I LOOOVE HIM.
-I noticed this in the Ember ep, but jazz has an electric guitar in her room!! talent musical queen!! its cool to see hobbies just in the bg.
-fright knight's murder castle reminds me of the booby trapped murder castle in zexal!! another supposedly 'for kids' show with murder/trap castles! we love that. if you are a dp fan reading this, give yugioh zexal a try. its also got 13-14 year old protags and involves (alien) ghosts. the cardgame is just a vessel for the plot, which is really good. (I just want more people to watch my fav yugioh, man)
-danny. with a SWORD.
-danny doesnt NEED TO WIN this contest, dash didnt STEAL HIS DESIGNS AND STEAL A SWORD. he also got excited to hear lancer got sent to a dimension with his worst fears too just so he could win the contest? DANNY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!! BRO MAYBE YOURE 14 AND HAVENT FULLY DEVOLPED YOUR WHOLE BRAIN YET, BUT...THATS FUCKED. this kid casually says the most deranged things, I do worry for my spooky son. once again, therapy needed. that judo toss was great tho. I wonder if he actually did pick up some martial arts stuff from his mom?
-danny can fly 112 mph!!! thats so fast! I love the lil montage of him and his friends testing his abilities and stuff, very cute and a good way to showcase what he can do by now and how much more proficient he's gotten from ep 1!!! I'm sure he's going to get more abilities :)
-im glad...maddie's at least TRYING this ep. I do feel for her because her husband is a man baby. but the fact it took 16 episodes to get a kinda semblance of any kind of real concern or attempts at bonding. hmm. jack's 'BACK OFF SHES A MINOR' @ the ghost trying to attack jazz. also was very funny. and him wanting to make an action figure of her? are the parents redeeming themselves to me? slightly. they gotta Work Harder
-THE GHOST. IS FLYING. THE PLANE.
-fenton machete. but she doesnt carry a PHONE??? ???
-I mean I expected vlad when you namedrop him earlier in the ep, and also the title card picture, and dalv corp being fucking vlad backwards. but seeing him just pull up on a golf cart made me bust out laughing. WITH the gift baskets prepared. why wouldnt you at least be suspicious. also, if he wants danny to be his lil sonboy, why is he so fucking malicious?? dude you are going about this in such a bad way. stop it. get some help.
-maddie not even hesitating to drag danny out. fucking good. danny is so right, go on the internet to date. get a cat. how do you spend...how many years?? has it been since college?? at least 20, right, since the parents/vlad are in their 40s? hung up on ONE girl. my god, man. incel drama queen. her kung fu IS impressive, but dude. 'we both know hes a creep' SO right. it sucks but they do need a phone and shit being in the middle of NOWHERE. also, just stealing his helicopter was great. <3
-'you must be exhausted carrying the weight of that mistake you made years ago' 'well we all make mistakes. maybe I'll make one now!' WHY DID THIS EXHCHANGE SEND ME. AND VLAD WITH THE BREATH SPRAY EWWW BITCH. 'OLD BAIT BREATH' SOO RIGHT. both danny and his mom playing him HAHAH hes so dumb. or rather, I think he thinks with his emotions too too much and is...actually pretty gullible? lmao he believed danny was ready to give in SO fast. (which is sad hes that hopeful, like you have SO MUCH MONEY YOU COULD EASILY GET ANOTHER GIRL WHO HAS A KID. AND WOULD WANT TO BE WITH YOU AND BE SUPPORTED. GET OVER THIS (1) WOMAN ALREADY IM GETTING SECONDHAND EMBARRASSMENT AAAAH)
-GHOST BEAR GHOST BEAR GHOST BEAR. it was also in the title card, but I still got very excited. we love bears here
-SAM'S BAT SWIMSUIT COVERUP!!! her outfits are simply iconic.
-'i'd tell you to go to the mens room, but I don't think you qualify' top paulina transphobic moments. :( and him wearing a tanktop to the swim park? hmmm! (actually I think she was overshadowed by then, so, KITTY top 10 transphobic moments??)
-kitty just piloting paulina around makes me feel SO bad tho, paulina's gonna wake up and be like 'wtf do you mean I was dating this rando' like youre leading danny on to make johnny jealous, and also just POSSESSING POOR PAULINA. dude take your relationship problems ELSEWHERE. last time we saw them, they seemed like such a cute couple!! wtf johnny!! I mean, she sucks for trying to make him jealous, he sucks for looking at other girls...maybe they need a break, but Not Like This. or, you know, just. better communication...
-and the A-listers having a full packet and a stamp system. who organizes this. kwan fucking owning being the new danny though, this is hysterical. THE TUCKER/KWAN FLOWER FIELD TWIRL. UNIRONICALLY ADORABLE. and him giving it his all for the poetry slam. bless his HEARTTTT.
-Star owns. actually, all of the extra characters are shining this ep and I love it.
-INVISO-BILL??? NOOOO THEY DID HIM SOO DIRTY. DANNY SWEETIE IM SO SORRY.
-johnny and danny bein friends and staging a fake fight (which danny takes too seriously, once again this child has aggression he NEEDS TO WORK OUT) I hope these three stay friends, I said it before but danny needs more friendly ghosts to hang with.
-at this point, Danny's ghost enemies are a lot like, I dunno, batman's rouge gallery is the first thing that comes to mind. they all have their own gimmick and unique designs, but most of them are easy to beat after learning the Moral Lesson. I still get excited when any of them show up again, though. 18 is another valerie episode!!!! :D skulker really said you two will get along if I have to handcuff you together <3 and the gym teacher really said, youre married now, have a flour baby! ngl, I'm not really watching this show for the shipping stuff (which I am very scared to look at the fandom for after I finish this watch through- I feel like there's probably discourse/arguing about ships...) but. I'm gonna put my opinion out there. valerie/danny > sam/danny. maybe I just really love the enemies to lovers trope. And the secret identity stuff adds Extra Flavor.
-SKULKER JUST HAVING THE BOX GHOST AND DANGLING HIM BY A STRING. HILARIOUS. and him watching them with binoculars and making his silly little commentary. AND MAKING THE SACK BABY CRY. LMAO. THIS DUDE IS A BABY KIDNAPPER. skulker is super fun
-danny, you just...collapsed the water tower. and then attacked the nasty burger machine...mascot thingy...out of anger..I KEEP SAYING HE'S GOT ANGER ISSUES BUT. HE REALLY NEEDS A LESSON IN MANAGING COLLATERAL DAMAGE!!! So does valerie!! They're both pretty focused on each other. I mean it's good of Danny to say he's trying to make sure PEOPLE don't get hurt, but... (I mean I guess it's not something 14 year olds WOULD worry about, but as an adult im like, who's going to fix that? how much money will that take??)
-TUCKER MAKING BANK. and sam and tucker being super emotionally attached to their flour baby and being pretty good parents. that's cute...also him just straight kissing her and being like. WAIT. O_O JDSKAFHD. his mom baking them into cookies was the funniest possible result. tbh I dont feel like this is on tucker, if anything the other kid's shouldve been more responsible! He was just taking an opportunity to get that $$ which I respect
-Danny being more understanding of Valerie's situation in the end (helping her at her job, too, and trying to keep that a secret for her!!!) And seeing them work together this ep, and also her letting phantom get her out of the ghost zone...was very sweet. LOVE that. more valerie eps pls
-me when I realize vlad's big stupid house exploded because of his own carelessness with changing the ghost portal ectofiltrator or whatever: *pointing and laughing*
-me when I realize it means he's gonna go make danny's life hell for it somehow: >:(
-SCOOBY PARODY!!! I feel like there's gotta be some scooby doo/danny phantom crossover stuff, right? also, 'guys in white' men in black wishes
-'oh, that's right! dad married the love of your life! you're bitter and alone!' DANNNNNYY GET HIS ASS ONCE AGAIN WE ARE POINTING AND LAUGHING AT VLAD
-'jack, you captured the ghost boy!!' UMM. he did nothing <3 'we have a weapon's vault??' YOU HAVE A WEAPONS VAULT??? and jack didnt put a handle on the inside. of fucking course he didnt! why would you leave that to your son!! or expect him to clean YOUR LAB when its where you work with probably dangerous chemicals and weapons and hes 14!! give him normal chores, like, I dunno, vacuuming, laundry, dishes...CMON. I hate it here. But I'm glad Jack is more chill about danny while he's a ghost, and willing to work with him for this ep. AND. I DID ENJOY JACK PUNCHING VLAD IN THE FACE. AND GENERALLY JUST OWNING HIM. the ghost punchy fists are actually amazing. like yeah, just punch a ghost in the face. that rules.
-ep 20 opens with the coolest fucking ghost lady design. her tattoos can come off and fight. MA'AM. I like ur nose ring and your cape maam hello đđđł
-sam's grandma is hilarious and the most valid member of her family and I love her. thats my grandma now. and tucker covering for sam by dressing as her. thats true friendship <3 also skipping school to go to a goth circus. just bestie things! sam's parents are haters but for all the wrong reasons.
-'my family has controlled ghosts with this for generations!' WAIT. WAIT FREAKSHOW /ISNT/ A GHOST? I didn't expect that...he's just a fucked up guy controlling ghosts? anyway watching danny shoot at police cars and rob banks while mind controlled. its like, the most stereotypical 'bad' things lmao. (tbh an evil ghost circus troupe is a sick concept)
this gives off big deviantart emo edit vibes
(I'm going to assume evil circus reaper danny has a lot of fan content. people love an edgy au, except this one is canon (even tho its via mind control...having the protag go evil otherwise might be hard, I guess?) but au where he stays with the troupe...that has to exist, right?)
ANYWAY. excited to start s2!! lowkey surprised by how many notes some of these posts have gotten. I've gone back and tagged them all with 'dp thoughts' so they're easier to find on my blog! ^^ and I will probably possibly do (more) fanart on my art blog after I finish the watch of the whole show, so like. @sanchoyodraws follow my art blog :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!!!!!! (mod MikeAM)
Pat has TWO CANS of drinks tonight (very fizzy)

Pat will NOT install a fart toilet
Drinking a rattler tonight
Babycakesclaire gifted a sub to T-Pain [Watch Clip]

Plays as Jax, doesnât know his combos but figures them out

Likes fight choreo, thinks they hire many professional people to do it
Jacqui is awesome
First Piss clip of the stream
Says âDad fight dad fight dad fightâ as the two versions of Jax fight each other
âI know all my moves, haha!......actually I donât know any of my movesâ
Mains as Jax just to do powerbombs
âThis is a stupid looking hat, Iâm sorry itâs a dumb looking hat. She deserves a better hat,â at Jacquiâs (sp????) hat.
Someone played Slow Yoshi in the middle of a fight
Jacquiâs dad betrayed her then disappeared. Pat: dads are complicated
Evil lady puts hat on, her power only grows stronger
Chat makes a lot of âI canât believe youâve done thisâ jokes
Pat opens a can of fizzy drink, chat alternates between making âASMRâ and âpissâ jokes. Some folley ones too
Game talks about a character âI donât know who the fuck Kharon isâ
Characters descends like spider through the ceiling âoh. Ew.â
Pat makes an âI canât believe youâve done thisâ reference
The two Scropions fight. Pat: âGod itâs me but strongerâ
Pat wins the first round: âItâs a big fishyâ
Gets attacked by other Scorpion w a good combo, wants to learn how to do that
Chat compliments Pat on his Scorpion playing abilities
Pat said heâs going to learn how to main Scorpion and Jax in this MK game. Mained Scorpion in last one
âBe a dude, not a dickâ
Scorpion is killed by DâVorah
âNobody fuckin believes Scorpionâ-- game framed Scorpion to look bad
Pat likes the frog jokes chat is making
âHey Boyâ clip played in a fight against Raiden
Raiden hits Scorpion w a blast as a âtruth serumâ. Pat calls it a dick move (Chat agrees)
Pat then plays as Raiden, but doesnât want to because of how shitty he is âCool. Nunchuck me. I deserve itâ
Pat laughs at Piss clip played at a character's dramatic revelation and entrance
Pat: âIâm so confused.â So are we
There are a lot of timelines that explain costume changes
Pat needs to âcheck in on that toilet update real quickâ
Pat as Raiden: âThe only solution is that Liu Kang and I must kiss,â asks Faith to make it happen
Evil Lady makes Liu Kang disappear: âDa fuuuuuuqq?â
Chat makes norted memes
Agrees with Faith that the game âfeels like fanficâ
Likes the guy who played Liu Kang in the movies; also played a guy named Ricky in another movie
âYooooo thatâs a blood boatâ-- a rivaling boat comes up from the middle of the ocean
Praises actions scenes in MK; better than MCU and most action movies in general
Finally goes to check up on the toilet situation, Piss clip plays while heâs gone
Someone checked if there were Liu Kang and Raiden fanfics; apparently, there isnât
Chat is wondering what happened to Patâs toilet, âdid he poop too hard?â
Pat comes back and asks if everyone was good (probably not)
He thought it was his roomate being a sloppy showerer, roommate asks what was up and Pat said âoh I thought it was youâ. Then found water coming from lights on ceiling and got people to fix the problem
We are in the home stretch of MK, according to safetydrew
âJax is my fatherâ
Jax beats up a bunch of people to âmake things rightâ, Pat: âYes, yes, fuck yesâ

Super Liu floats in the sky, sends a meteor out and kills a bunch of monsters
Super Liu super punches more monsters
Time starts rewinding, Fire God Liu Kang fights Kitana, then some more people
Lots of fighting in this Mortal Kombat game
During Cetrion fight, Pat: âShe just grew a tree just to nail me to it.â
Cetrion gives her soul to Big Evil Lady Mom
MikeAM advises Pat to just do a bunch of flying kicks during the boss battle
âWOW she mean, woofadoofâ-- Pat @ the final boss
Pat says he will never fight with honor
Pat fails the fight, Liu Kang gets his head chopped off
Donkey Kong has Died plays as the head rolls (Weâve unlocked the basketball timeline)
Pat thinks about trying the easier mode if he fails a few more times
Hops into the settings to turn on easy mode
Evil Lady (Kronica) turned into Johnny Cage in the middle of the fight??
Fire God Liu Kang and Evil lady go up to spAAACEEEE
Kronica says sheâs better than Liu Kang bc heâs a god and sheâs a titan?? I thought it went the other way
Pat comments on how itâs weird to have Johnny Cage fight for her at points in the battle
Pat finally wins the match, Kronica gets turned to glass and shattered. The Caught and Compromised clip plays
Now Liu Kang is in charge of watching over the Earth realm, mortal Raiden helps (âRaiden's gonna diieeâ)
Game ends just like that, credits roll, Pat: âOh thatâs it, thatâs how it ends?!â
Comments on how the next MK can be about literally whatever they want, bc this game set it back to square 1
Cassie apparently has a fatality where she can kick someone in the nuts and have their skeleton pop out âthatâs really goodâ
Patâs gonna start picking characters to learn moves of and train w them
Pat says apparently thereâs three different endings. Not major changes, just is dictated by how long it takes you to defeat the final boss
He got two (2) new maps
Wants to learn the kicking people in the nuts to make their skeleton pop out lmao
âI guess I need to unlock the dick kickâ
Does a fatality that involves the character getting ripped in half, then a tomato getting thrown at them
Looked up the Cassie fatality and tries it
Her opponent literally did a piss right before the fight. He really did. Pat lost that fight
Pat messed up the fatality
Decided to try to Krypt before raiding Thomasâ stream
Same actor who played Shang Tsung in the movies played him in the game. Pat geeks out
Pat says this Krypt is better than in other games bc it used to be a dungeon crawl to find things. Now, you just open chests
Pat finds a hammer, uses it to get Koinsâ˘
The raid guys should make a MK movie. Apparently the recent John Wick has them fight the raid guys
Pat doesnât know how much he should drink before going to see the new John Wick. Heâs going w Ryan at the Alamo (I assume a theatre)
Pat finds a gong and feels he must hit it with the hammer
Pat says the Krypt changes what loot it has based on what time of day you go to see it
Pat doesnât know whether or not thereâs going to be fights in this area, or if itâs just opening chests
He still thinks heâs going to work w Scorpion and Jax to get good at to learn combos (also probably Jacqui). Wants to do a group play session at some time
Charlie is sneezing!!
Patâll be back on Thursday (8 pm EST) with Donk Souls again (if that doesnât work, heâll find something else)
Charlie went up on Patâs lap!!!
Abby streams on Tuesdays at the same time as Pat. He says you should watch both simultaneously
Sent chat to raid Thomas
End of stream
