Stillborn? No, still born au - Danny’s ghost form

Nothing too fancy here. Just me detailing Danny’s ghost form in the stillborn au :]. My first rule of thumb for every dp au i make is that danny’s gotta have a different design for each ghost form. It doesn’t have to be super drastic depending on the au (like for my dp godling au his suit remains relatively unchanged).

This is mostly so I can mess with character design and also so each Danny can have his own unique ghost form for identification reasons. And because I just want to, which is the most important part :].

Stillborn Danyal, unlike Things in Threes and Yaelokre Danyal, is the first to not have an assassin-based ghost form due to obvious reasons. He was raised in foster care all his life, the League has had no impact on his life beyond being the place where his mother is. But it’s not like he knows that.

As a result he gave me some trouble, and it took me a few days and a ton of frustration to figure out how I want him to look as a ghost. I could just keep him in the hazmat suit and mess around with the detailing, but i’ll be frank, I hate doing that.

Stillborn Danyal, unlike all his other au counterparts, is a fire core ghost like Vlad is. As a result, in his ghost form he can reach extreme temperatures with just a flick of his hand or a switch in his mood. His emotional regulation is shit, and as a result it’s not uncommon for him to let off heatwaves in either form. They’re just more intense as a ghost.

His hair is made of molten lava, and unlike the other Dannys, is not white as a result. It’s an ever constant flow as well, meaning it doesn’t stop flowing where his human hair ends. It just keeps “growing”. Danny routinely keeps his hair braided back because it slows the lava flow and keeps it off his face and arms. When it reaches his past feet, that’s when Danny superheats his hands and “cuts” his hair by yanking it off. It’s completely painless if he gets the right heat to do it. Afterwards, Danny either uses it as a weapon — braided whip, anyone? — or disposes of the excess lava somewhere it can’t hurt someone.

Molten lava ranges around 1,300 to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit and can either be very fluid or very viscous and stiff. The heat of his hair, naturally, means that the living cannot physically get near him without proper covering. So Danny tends to keep a distance as much as possible during fights so he doesn’t burn anyone.

His emotions also affect the heat and fluidity of his hair. Which isn’t that great considering he can be pretty emotionally volatile thanks to all of his ✨trauma✨. The angrier or more emotional he is, the hotter and more fluid his hair is, meaning it burns brighter and flows faster. It’s very much possible for the lava to cool down enough to solidify into volcanic glass or igneous rock, but considering Danny’s mental state? He just isn’t capable of doing that on his own. Vlad’s hair is also molten lava, but he’s perfected how to keep it in an igneous rock state. His hair also glows bright enough that it’s impossible to see his face from a distance, and seeing it up close is equally as impossible considering all the ambient heat he gives off.

That’s not the only part thats made of lava and magma either. Danny’s hands and feet don’t have skin covering them, it’s crumbled and melted away into molten lava too. They’re the second hottest parts of his body only to his hair. Around his elbows is where his skin begins to crack and crumble into magma, and as a result he wears welding gloves in order to interact with the living world (and some ghosts) without melting anything. He can also run so hot that he can melt a blob ghost.

All fire core ghosts lack iris and pupils, it’s all one solid color. It is possible to shift their eyes into looking more “human like”, but there’s really no point to it and takes more practice and effort to achieve than its worth. Danny’s eyes are all green just like Vlad’s are all red.

Now for his clothes! Danny used to wear the hazmat suit, paired with an old hoodie he owned but didn’t wear often. Uppp until he was brainwashed by Circus Gothica. Afterwards, the only thing that transferred over was the color scheme.

Danny’s new Phantom outfit is designed more for looseness and breathability, but also means that as a result he gives off even more heat. His hazmat suit trapped most of it. He’s now wearing a white, sleeveless turtleneck (yall know the type. I am not immune to tropes and I think it looks good) with black harlem pants with an open slit up both sides and green flames running from his ankles to his knees, and spandex shorts underneath. He’s also wearing white stirrup socks. He wears green welding gloves. Due to the lack of proper footwear he tends to float everywhere otherwise he burns the ground thanks to the exposed skin. It’s significantly less “hero-like” or “scientist” and more resembling something a performer might wear.

As a result however, Danny is consistently cold. He struggles with his own thermal regulation and keeps trying to balance it between his own comfort and the comfort of the living around him. If he retains his own heat and keeps himself warm, he’s too hot for anyone to come near and he melts everything he touches, but if he cools down in order to interact with the world without his gloves and come near the living and only be “uncomfortably hot”, he’s freezing. He’s frustrated by the lack of balance. It was easier to interact with the hazmat suit, but he doesn’t want to go back to it and it’s not like he can either. The exposure allows him easier access to his powers.

Warm, sunny days are his favorite. He’ll sit out on the pavement and soak in the heat like a lizard. Catch him sitting on top of cars during 90 degree weather and just utterly content. It’s not as nice as the ghost zone’s Molten Springs but it’s the second best he can get without going into the infinite realms. The first best thing is going somewhere secluded and safe and just heating himself up into something that’s comfortable and letting his hair free. Nothing like cocooning yourself in your own magma flow.

send me a 🌹 and i’ll generate what my muse will say to your muse.                       blue october lyrics.  1-229  ( a mixture of fluffy, nsfw and triggering content ) 

 i pay off your fucking credit card debt.

just fucking leave and find a man who will put up with your shit. 

i think we’re ready for the crazy making heartbreak 

we both know who we are and i’m not changing

i have to block out thoughts of you so i don’t lose my head

i only wanna dance with you

i’m laughing with a broken face

i know that god exists i held her in my arms

things we do at night we’re keeping it together til the morning light

into the ocean ... end it all

we want the whole world

it will get hard remember life’s like a jump rope

i’m living for the right now 

i take a deep breath and blow it out ... let it go

listen i, i can’t wait to see what’s around that corner

baby, i lie awake and i watch you sleeping, thinking it’s the little things that make a home

only care in the world is that our kids are alright 

tomorrow we get to do it over again

so smile at me baby take my breath away

daddy loves momma and momma loves him

i only want to dance with you 

remember what abuse did 

it always lowered me to downsize 

i cant explain the way i feel inside

yeah, you hurt me so bad. 

you cant admit you’re poison go run and hide

i said i wouldn’t fail you 

you never took the time to learn all about these things you call our relationship

if you think you’re marriage is so great why the fuck are you turning to other people’s wives for comfort? 

did he really get to take you home? 

i’m surprised that you chose him 

i’m surprised i’m not in a halfway home 

it’s not about the feelings that we shared before

your words don’t calm anymore

how do you call what we have love when you don’t even notice the look upon my face

you’ll be sorry when i’m gone 

you waited too long 

did she really think i’d take it? 

i drove a wire through my brain 

by the way, by your side i’ll stay

we only get an hour or so

it’s time to get personal 

we’ve got these times of our lives

lets take this time to let it show that these are ours 

if i’m a desert, my face is the wind 

we are islands, hear our sirens

there’s no a limit to things that i do

i gave you stars but the stars wouldn’t do

you’re like the lava burning buried below

when the pressure heightens our coal makes diamonds

i don’t want to hear you say

take me off your worry list, it’ll be better that way

i never knew i was able to ever feel this strong

i’m really fine and boy there’s nothing we haven’t talked about 

this is what my life is about, i mean have been gone but i never walked out. 

there’s something that i can’t quite explain 

i’m just sick of calling your bluff

it’s just embarrassing that i nearly threw up

i’m trying hard to change the things that i always screw up 

i’ve gotta make the best of it 

i'll take the words you gave me and send them back to you

i couldn’t wait to finally pick my family

everything is quiet and covered in snow 

there’s something wrong here, nobody’s at home 

i’m back in the drivers seat, heading back home 

i’m the snake and you’re my prey 

how i love to hate you 

have you ever been so lonely? 

empty bed and all of the sheets are gone

i’m like a ghost 

i won't be strong and I won't brave

i've got the nightmare called...schizophrenia

i only want you to see my favourite part of me 

i’m in between the moon and where you are

i only wanted to be somebody

i want you to come in closer

come dancing with devils

i’m sorry for the way i treated you

i'll keep on licking till your flavor is gone

don't trust my words when I'm in the bed with you

there’s an innocence that we look for in the stars

we talked, forever sharpening a knife

hey, we can hide the bodies on the ride home

we're licking skin to wipe us clean

i watched closely as the you i knew forgot me 

in letting go i am so proud of what i’ve done 

in a way i failed religion

i reach for something more than just your guard

there’s no forgiveness for you, you sick fuck

i freaked out thinking people didn’t love me 

why do i feel this way? 

so rest assured I have the key to every opening

a considerate clown, a preachy preaching machine 

now you’re fucking with my pride

i tried to let it go 

everyone knows you will never be smarter than me

sweaty piggy, you’re a bad man 

i have to keep graceful dancing 

you’re a super star on your own

i never knew you felt this way

i wish i could have seen your pain 

i would have never let you walk away

tell me what you’re going through

every time you run away, just know i follow you 

i see the world keep moving as I stumble

your heart’s died 

look, i want my friend back 

i thought the world had lost its sway

baby, i can dance for days

i only want to see if you’re okay when i’m not around

i’ll drive so fucking far away that i never cross your mind 

fear in itself will reel you in and spit you out 

believe in yourself and you will soar

i know how to let you leave

how am i supposed to let you go? 

i’m not broken anymore 

i’ve gotta learn to live and dream

the things i wanna do to you can’t be good for the soul

we’re never gonna look back so we just drive

i know apologising won’t erase the end

i thought of just your face, relaxed and floating into space

here’s my couldest shoulder

i gained 40 pounds because of you 

you make my heart go bang 

stop staring, you’re the reason i feel so unhappy all the time

i’ve given you everything i know how 

you’re standing on the top of my shoe, stopping me from gaining ground

i’m sorry if you feel like i’ve let you down

can you tell me what i’ve done so wrong to you? 

tell me what am i supposed to do? 

i should be loved by you, that i know is true

i can’t breathe when you’re around 

i should be held at night

i want to swim away but don’t know how 

whatever happened to your inner glow? 

if you fail, at least you tried

keep your aching, celebrating, wonder-making heart alive

is that seat taken? congratulations

would you like to take a walk with me? 

my mind it kinda goes fast

i try to slow it down for you 

i think i’d like to take a drive, i want to give you something

tomorrow, i’m gonna find a place to die

will you spit up on the path i took? 

will you cry from all the drugs i shook? 

will you be my little comedown hook? 

to kill a young man’s point of view is to kill his only friend

to all of you in the way, i push you aside

i raise my hand in grace

we are who we are and we’ll be who we be 

everybody owns a scar to show us how we got this far

so, rain on me

today, i don’t have to fall apart

i don’t have to be afraid

i don’t have to let the damage consume me 

where did all my idols end up? they all passed away 

learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes

can you pretend i’m amazing? 

i can pretend i’m amazing

how am i supposed to breathe? 

i tried to relax, i touch your still frame

so i can watch you closer

study the ways i belong to you 

i scratch at your waistline 

your solar, bipolar, panic disorder seems harder

you shape to mould

your symptom’s superficial

can you imagine the phobia? 

your brain is faulty wiring

keep treating the curse 

your heart is prosthetic 

i changed my colour for you

i like the beauty you display

see here they are the bruises

some were self inflicted

here comes excuses, why i let you down

send off the alarm

is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldn’t become? 

i’ve sat at the back of the line for years

will you ever let me off my knees? 

wide awake like a dream

as simple as a secret being told 

i bleed out 

i have it all but you can’t stop taking from me 

you know where to cut me with your eyes closed

it won’t be long til this heart stops beating

don’t let me bleed out here alone 

hear me plea

will you think of me in time? 

it’s never my luck

i wish i could be a star

out of the blue came the sun

you carry it with you wherever you go

as long as you’re with me, we can move on 

we don’t know which way the wind blows

how do we do this on our own? 

where do we go when life gets so emotional?

if i could be good enough then i will blown away

i can be their anyone

i can be there everyday

if i could let go and i can change the world

i can’t stop always tearing myself down

i can’t be wrong

rain comes, priceless, do whatever works best

time changes everything, so remarkable 

look forward to the breakdown

they said this wouldn’t hurt

but be careful what you wait for

i’ll smile if i want to

i’m not afraid gonna flaunt it to 

they pay to see you and they looking for you’re best

so whatever’s going on with you that’s not pertaining to your act

you leave it in the dressing room 

what you gonna do with your time because it’s calling you

are you living it up or packing it in? 

i think it’s time we shake it off

we’ve been here for centuries

what we came we came to do 

when we came, we came through

i wanna light my soul on fire

let’s see who’s flame burns brighter

let’s see who is ready to quit

we want the same thing, 

we want the whole world

it just aint good enough

we want to stay cool

you’re always gonna doubt me 

try and live without my passionately crazy

forgiveness is forgiven so fuck it
