Danny Phantom headcanon that the more human-like a ghost appears, the easier time they have passing as human, the more likely they remember their life when they were alive. It’s an active choice to remember not only the life they lost but also the pain of death. Many young ghosts will maintain a human appearance soon after death as they bitterly or lovingly recall their life. As they forget, knowingly or not, they lose the appearance of humanity and become more ghostly until they barely remember being alive in the first place.

#danny phantom #thought in between disasters at work #we have relatively human looking ghosts who passed for human like Johnny Spectra and Ember #and non human ghosts like Skulker and Walker #the former remember their lives and deaths and thus are able to better imitate humanity #its a gift and a curse to pass unnoticed but to also carry those painful memories #I wrote (and deleted) a fic ages ago about the death of Kitty and Johnny #she a rich society girl who wanted for nothing who fell for the sweet poor deliquent Johnny #they died in a motorcycle wreck trying to escape their life #Kitty likes being Johnnys girl more than who she'd been before and tries to forget thus her more inhuman appearance #Johnny meanwhile still feels bad about getting her killed and forces himself to remember for the both of them #the longer a ghost exists and forgets their existence the more they become just obsession and instinct as their humanity fades with their fo #Skulker is so old he can't remember his life nor does he care #his human form stripped away until he's nothing but ectoplasm and a will to hunt #(maybe he'd been a very aggressive hunter gatherer?)#anyway just nursing thoughts in between surprise unit inspections and falls and restraints oh my
