... What if Pariah Dark was a giant kinda like other extremely powerful ghosts in the series? Sorry I just can't stop thinking about the image of a giant castle and Danny waking up in a giant bed because the Crown sensed his distress at being possibly vulnerable with his parents around and spirited him away automatically to what is now his Lair as he was sleeping. Immense confusion some hilarity and a bit of sadness.... Just how I like it.

[jaytalking]

how would your Danny react if I gave him a big ol hug 🥰 homeboy was my childhood, he deserves to be happy😔😔😔

You're in luck, take these warmups. He doesn't like physical contact with strangers anymore since 99% of the time they either complain about him being too cold or don't know how to handle his arm without causing him pain. (Sam and Tucker are experts at avoiding that at this point)

[jaytalking]

Was ranting and literally had to pause being angry to contemplate this more, that's how I get all my ideas btw they're born from the pits of anger and frustration. Kinda like revenge plots.

[jaytalking]

It was supposed to be a roleswap design but I forgot with who...

[jaytalking]

HE LOOKS SO FUCKING COOL OH MY GOD.... I love whatever effect you did with the hair it looks like, well, hair but also fire in a way that i can't quite explain beyond a keysmash sorry lol, your style? Lovely as always. The colors? Incredible. The overall vibe? Showstopping. You nailed it.

@jaytalking 's ecto-science AU hasbeen on my mind 24/7 and it is NOT going away/pos

So this was bound to happen >:]

HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!! (*/∀＼*)

[jaytalking]

I really want more Danny phantom au lore. Please?

The main concept of the EctoScience AU isn't really anything special;

As a wee 9 year old, Danny knows 2 things make his parents the happiest: researching ghosts, and talking about their research in ghosts; and he's still a kid you know? He seeks a connection with them, there's a lot of things he simply doesn't understand about how the world should work.

So he starts Listening when Dad talks, reaching for their old textbooks and notes, watching carefully as Mom tinkers with electronics, he doesn't get All of it, obviously, but he understands more than the average child would and no amount of cajoling from Jazz can stop him from joining their conversations at the dinner table and the years of Lessons that follow.

And later at 14, Danny was fully aware the switch was installed in the wrong place. Ah- Dad's done it again, it should be fine if he's careful... No reason to bother them now....

This Danny knows all Ghosts are simply emotionless monsters that prey on the living and can't be trusted.

Above all, this Danny wants to make his parents proud.

This Danny is also, unfortunately, painfully, about to realise why that will never be possible.

[jaytalking]

On that grind (exhaustedly)

[jaytalking]

Danny can cook but it's purely simple high-calorie stuff he can get away with cooking up at 2 am. It's either that or sneaking out to find a fast food place that's open 24h and frankly he probably knows that Nasty Burger menu like the back of his hand. His hunger is not even anything supernatural in origin it's a combination of the sheer amount of action his body goes through every day & the fact he's a teenager who's still growing.

I'm dual track drifting here; you have the mild sadness of being constantly hungry/peckish but unable to have consistent meals because of interruptions + your parents being too absorbed in their work to go grocery shopping. And the crack of Danny in the pitch black kitchen cooking a huge pot of something like MF DOOM's villainous Mac n cheese and not even bothering to use plates shoveling it in his mouth straight from the tray praying and hoping a ghost doesn't attack that very moment because by God this is as close to heaven as he's ever gonna get.

[jaytalking]

Who the fuck let peepaw go outside without wax. You know he oxidises. I want names.

[jaytalking]

I fully believe the Fairywinkle-Cosmas are just terrible at keeping eachother up to date on current events going on in their lives, Cosmo and Wanda being surprised at Peri being a godparent meanwhile Peri has a scathing clapback locked and loaded about how yeah it was a secret BUT they didn't tell Him that they came out of retirement and had a new Godkid- AND THEN THERE'S TIMMY BACK FROM HIS ONE MONTH VACATION WHO WAS TOLD NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING and came back to a really messed up Fairy World. And of course he himself forgot to tell anyone that his vacation would be in a different dimension. Terrible job everyone!

[jaytalking]

I adore you fairy Timmy au so much, it has completely derailed my plans, I can't stop thinking about it. Can I ask what you think his relationship with Cosma, Wanda and Peri are? They seem to be close still, but I'm so curious for details!

He loves his family, of course, but he can't help being really tired of their shenanigans sometimes. I mean like really just talk to eachother you idiots!

He was the only other person who knew Peri had become a godparent, mostly because Peri vented to him a lot about Dev being... Dev during their calls (Always remember that Timmy was away on vacation for a month.). They're very close and argue rarely, but when they do argue it's often about Irep! Timmy hates the guy with a burning passion, mostly because of how he treats Peri, so he sometimes sticks his nose in their affairs. (which is wrong of him, to be clear, Peri is right to call him out on it.)

*in front of mirror*

"Do NOT. Babygirlify the Master of Time."

*5 minutes later*

"Maybe just.... A little bit.... Of slay- NOOOOOOOOOO-"

[jaytalking]

You asked me to cook? Be careful what you wish for.

[jaytalking]

So first thing, love your ecto AU Danny’s design is amazing and I love how you draw Sam too!

I do want to ask, how is Danny treated at school by Dash and the others? (both pre and post accident if he’s more into ghosts like his folks, and he comes in with a really hurt eye and partially paralysed arm with all the scaring)

Thanks ☺️ 👻

I am working on a comic about this! but I don't mind explaining it here (hell, it'll probs help me get my ideas in order better), questions about this Au are very encouraged so don't be shy guys:

Danny has been interested in ghosts for long enough that most of his peers know, even if from 6th grade onwards he attempted to hide it because it wasn't exactly "cool" or "normal". He was bullied a lot, and most of it probably called back to how he was from a family of "crazy people ", I can also see adults playing a part especially in his younger years by trying to gently dissuade him from being like his parents.... All in all this Danny is Isolated more than anything else, he feels alone in his interests with only his parents to turn to. Jazz? Uhhh that deserves it's own thing.

The injury. Ok. The dynamics of the incident are intentionally fuzzy, what you need to know is that Yes. The Fenton parents KNOW the incident happened, they just don't know the full consequences of it (Danny being half ghost). He was taken to the hospital and stayed there for... About a week. I'm not going to get into too much detail here, but the rumours around town were going wild; saying the Fentons had gotten their son injured or worse due to their work, and when Danny eventually went back to school in a sling and with half his face fucked up... Things didn't exactly get better.

In short, Danny isn't really bullied anymore, at least not physically- if anything the popular kids have just taken to pretending he doesn't exist. The teachers and other adults just look at him with varying levels of pity and honestly Danny is just sick of it, on top of dealing with a ton of other things mentally. Thank god for Sam and Tucker.

[jaytalking]

I saw Danny and I followed IMMEDIATELY. Your art is so vibrant and great and pretty and I LOVE IT AND COULD I PLEASE HAVE MORE DANNY PLEASEEEEE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

One OSHA compliant Danny for you, enjoy

[jaytalking]

I had a really whack dream tonight and now all I can think about is Danny kinda sorta astral projecting every time his human body falls asleep but he doesn't really suffer any ill effects from it so he just. Gets up from his body and floats over to his computer or TV to either start grinding on Doomed ("Sam why the hell are you awake?" "Couldn't sleep, wait. Why is Tucker online on my friends list." "Goddd we're so done for tomorrow morning.") or catch up on movies or series he doesn't normally have time for. Anything but studying ig.
