Good old fashion jokes, or as the kiddos say ‘memeing’ 🤙🏻🤪 just a little bit… spooky 👻

Amity Park was something of a nightmare town, plagued by the dead and all that.

But seeing as the vast majority of the dead fucks that did said plaguing weren’t exactly… life-threatening so much as potentially life-threatening and/or just kinda annoying, the whole thing very quickly became more of a ‘Not this shit again’ and even comedic. Mocking outsiders for freaking the fuck out was a beloved pastime by all. It also caused some serious memeing and a complete disregard for personal safety; because really? if a giant speaking wasp ain’t gonna off you then what makes anyone think jumping off a rooftop will either?

The adults of the town, at least the more normal ones, really freaked out during the ‘when people with iron deficiency stand up’ trend due to the town's teens using it as an excuse to limply and stiffly fall off of increasingly concerning and dangerous things. Particularly one where someone fell off of an intersection streetlight directly on to a moving cop car. And then someone else went and chucked themselves off of the side of a mountain while on vacation which turned into a whole investigation from the Jasper Canadian police force.

And the existence of meme-centric rapid-fire quick serotonin fix websites didn’t exactly… help. But hey, at least most shit was regular funny shit, right? And stayed in Amity largely.

Like everyone and their mother got a kick out of the vine with the dude being chased by the Box Ghost over the tune of ‘s.o.s please someone help me’. And “WHICH ONE OF YOU FUNKY FREAKS DID THIS!!!” Shouted over top of the Fenton GAV driving by blaring ‘they see me rollin’, they’re hatin, patrollin’” that went locally viral. Course there was the other really popular Fenton one with footage of Jack and Maddie crashing through the school wall over the sound of ‘OPEN UP SHITHEAD! 🤪”. The “I am a box ghost cow: mOoOoOoOoOoOoOo BEWARE” sound was also pretty popular. Honestly, anything with the Fenton parents or the Box Ghost was bound to be a good fun time, generally light-hearted too.

Some of the vines were just frankly normal if you ignored certain things and these ones usually saw more outside of Amity popularity. Like Danny Fenton showing off his probably neurodivergency-influenced doom piles except every single one had some kind of weapon noticeably in it. More than a few shaky videos of the local goth kids dying their hair in public bathroom sinks, though that one caused some mild discourse about how alt folks dyed their hair. Well over a hundred videos of people doing the mouth hat flip trick with ever-increasingly weird hats, they always landed on their heads somehow. One video caught Phantom in the background and the town gossip instantly became that the ghost was using his telekinesis to ‘help everyone along’. And multiple videos of the G.I.W. trying to interrogate people about ghosts only to get the response of ‘I’m alive, you’re a really shitty detective”, because who doesn’t love mocking the government. That was the same reason the one with one dude dressed as a G.I.W. agent in a car with another dude dressed like stereotypical hitchhiker with said fake G.I.W. making the simple yet concerning comment of “yeah what’s the chance of us both being mass murderers” and a very now shocked hitchhiker, went pretty viral; pretty much only Amity Parker’s knew it was referencing the G.I.W.s thing for torture though.

The sheer amount of vines involving employees jumping into the Nasty Burger sink full of water or using the sauce to create explosions were legendary, and no one talks about the plague that was comical ‘sexy’ poses with the duck face in full force or the sexy full body furry grinch, Shrek, and sloth suits trend. Those last ones were pretty weird and really made zero sense to the adult population of even Amity. Which was saying something.

Though weird wasn’t exactly uncommon. There’s a mystery someone who posts nothing but grunge aesthetic hand thirst traps; the occasional ectoplasm burns being the only sign that this person was, in fact, an Amity Parker. The very viral video of the entire Casperhigh cafeteria full of teens screaming singing ‘IM A MATERIAL GURL’ in complete chaos. The Fenton boy was standing on a table. Multiple guys were in dresses. And at least one teacher had their head in their hands and looked to be having a mental breakdown; this teacher was later confirmed to actually be Mr. Lancer who very clearly had been thinking that he was severely underpaid… which wasn’t even wrong in all honesty. The Slomo of someone showing off their hand-made long furby with spider legs over church music was an… interesting one. Everyone knew Sam was responsible for that one considering it was later used in a video to scare the absolute crap out of Pamela Manson; not a soul felt any sympathy for that entitled woman.

Some were just… concerning vaguely:

Like the montage of the football bros fleeing an underaged party in slow-mo with the types of party bros they were, from ‘the one who’s calling coach confessing everything’ to ‘the one who accidentally stabbed themselves’. Which alone was kinda concerning, all things considered, but then someone ‘responded’ with a shaky faraway shot of Fenton running down the street with eleven bottles of liquor in his arms with the text “the one who grabs the stash”. Which was definitely concerning and had more than a few concerned adults talking about it, mostly non-Amity adults though since that went slightly viral and every Amity adult dismissed the Fenton boy's weirdness. Fenton responding himself with the audio “yeah let’s go get drinks because I’m tryna get as wasted as my ✨potential✨”; absolutely did not help any concerns.

The whole saga that Jazz started when she reacted judgmentally to one of Spike dancing along to ‘if you feel depressed and misunderstood, whatcha gonna do? REPRESS IT’ in the tune of the ghost buster theme song. Which of course got Danny to respond by dancing along to ‘when you wanna confront your childhood, are you ready for a breakthrough? NO REPRESS IT’ and then Sam followed suit doing one to ‘I’m too apathetic to book myself therapy’ and Tucker one to ‘I push all my problems down until they go away’ and Val completes it with one to ‘repressing makes me feel nothing’ tune. Course Wes then showed up with ‘one day I’ll explode’ totally ruining the whole thing.

Which leads into all the Danny-specific ones which were ridiculously numerous, occasionally making people question his sleep schedule or if this shit is what he’s dodging out of class for. His very first vine being him nonchalantly saying: “so I got stabbed once and I laughed in the guy's face. He ran away” and looking very smug, was probably a sign of what was to come. Including but not limited to frequent random death/murder jokes like: “what’s the straightest thing you’ve ever done. *Prolonged sigh* I killed a guy” and then wheezing in laughter. To Valerie kissing him muttering, “now I’ll show you how to properly kiss a bottom”. Danny looking slightly scared all the while. To Danny diving face-first into many many things but most notably the one with him stiff as a board diving into a basket of rubber chickens, the squeaking was legitimately horrifying. Some weren’t of Danny but just taken by him, like the candid video of Vlad muttering, “maybe I should start a cult”, to himself before immediately panning to a worried and befuddled-looking Danny Fenton. That one started a town-wide trend of cult-like chants of ‘EAT THE RICH’ being shouted around Mayor Vlad Masters; much to the man’s annoyance. It was also followed up by a shaky vine of Vlad stuffing a flailing Danny into a duffel bag and just WALKING OFF into the sunset. The collection of Danny video bombing people with a bottle of mayonnaise was what finally resulted in Amity fully realising that Danny was actually a whole ass gremlin child. The one with Danny walking out of a flaming bathroom to the sound of “a performance was demanded of me and now I have delivered. ENCORE”, arms out grandly and preening like a peacock; really cemented the gremlin child title though. All his vines of him just FINDING CORPSES and him posing ridiculously next to them got taken down so fast that people couldn’t save or share them, which was honestly for the best because some menace behavior should just not be encouraged.

People also made lots of vines featuring Danny, the kid was fucking weird alright? And honestly? All the ones of crows and blob ghosts just following the kid like a personal army or giving him shit or him siccing them on people, were the least weird.  The shaky one of him leading an army of ecto-wieners followed up by another of him damn near force-feeding Dash a bottle of mustard, were proof of just how weird the vines of Danny-but-not-made-by-Danny were. And that particular vine was followed by tons of food fight ones which inevitably turned into #meattornado vines. Lancer was, once again, in the background of a lot of these looking like he was actively awaiting the sweet release of death.

And of course who could forget all the ghost-centric ones that outsiders almost always wrote off as faked or just really good editing/costume design.  Some were really silly, like Phantom’s little stunt in front of a horde of ghosts singing Eminem’s ‘so you can suck my dick if you don’t like my shit’. And all the ones of people just reacting to the “ghosts aren’t real” comments with slapping the camera back and forth to the beat of Cotten eye joe. And of course the one with thirty people cosplaying different Amity ghosts dancing to the tune of ‘I ain’t afraid of no ghosts’ in the park that probably took way more effort to set up than it was really worth. There were of course tons that were just Phantom, especially when Jack Frost was the popular tumblr sexy man, ��Is this Jack Frost?” then, without fail, showing an unsuspecting Phantom, who’d conjure up some ice and cackle after a beat; clearly the ghost wasn’t bothered by the comparison. Some folks did start throwing it around in all seriousness, legitimately theorising that maybe Phantom actually was Jack Frost.  And of course whenever Phantom seemingly discovered a new power that got vined to death, especially since the ghostly teen always sucked at controlling whatever it was. His teleportation was especially funny since he’d just randomly show up in some really random places, like one Vine where Dash had been working on some car and had been trying to show off opening the lid only for Phantom to just poof into there tangled in all the metal bits; scared the crap outta the kid. The town, and Phantom, discovering that he could just teleport Amity or parts of Amity into the ghost zone caused a massive slew of vines of pure chaos with teens shouting, “THIS IS FINE! EVERYTHING IS FINE” with green sky visible in the background and others of Phantom shouting, “OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY😬”. Every single one went locally viral much to the embarrassment of the teen ghost. Meanwhile, the ghost taking a freaking field trip to Jupiter apparently, a lot of what the fuck’s there, and making vines of the cool shit there were more of a worldwide viral thing especially since they weren’t actually debunkable even with people writing them off because Phantom was a freaking ghost and not wearing any kind of spacesuit.

Some actually had ghosts in them that weren’t Phantom. Mainly people shouting “bitch come at me” at random ghosts, but also clips shouting “daddy😩” at those same ghosts. And someone went and convinced Poindexter to ‘act scary’ while the teen flashed a strob light at him in a bid to get out of his detention early; the whole thing did actually look slightly creepy with the teen ghosts monochromatic appearance and did successfully get the human teen out of Mr. CampBell’s detention day, that teacher had a very weak will. A great many of clips of Twenty One Pilots “my name’s blurry face” got placed over basically every single piece of footage of ghosts to ever show their faces in Amity.  The audios were almost always hilarious actually and did see some use outside of Amity, from: “Look at this alt f4’d motherfucker” to “Awww what a cute looking blobby. GOD IS DEAD AND WE KILLED HIM” to the slightly less popular “You’d probably mess up your toast, if ten thousand angry ghosts, lunged at your face”. Even The Box Ghost got one in with the “W-what are you doing in my house?!? I want boxes” audio that got pasted on every video where the Box Ghost was inside literally any building which just turned into when animals got inside people's houses. The “New ghost shows up. Customary two minutes of mourning BECAUSE THEY'RE DEAD and resume chaos” was also weirdly popular even if that one was pretty explicitly Amity.

The one where someone caught a mini female Phantom ‘attempting’ aka trying and failing spectacularly to skateboard in Paris reaching Amity caused an absolute ton of teens to vine their skateboard skills and @‘ing them at Phantom to ‘show his kid because there is no way that is not the ghosts kid’; Phantom was reportedly very touched and even made a vine thanking people followed by many many ones of the girl -who was apparently named Elle- trying out the tricks all over the world. It was outright touching and sweet in everyone’s opinion, even if Phantom apparently having a kid caused some chaos.

On the flip side of adorable comfort vines was that notable time that everyone got really into Aztec death whistles and started scaring the crap outta the ghosts with them… and the cops.

But the one that really scared a ghost good was shot at the beach… where at least thirty people had gathered in the water and just started screaming and slamming their faces into the water. The close-up of Skulker’s horrified face in the sky was meme’d to death immediately. The one with Kwan somehow inside of Walker’s prison looking scared and confused over the tune of  AJR’s ‘hello hello, I’m not where I’m supposed to be’ sacred the Hell out of the town though. Teen abduction was pretty alarming after all; an Instagram photo of the teen throwing up the peace sign with Phantom appeared damn near right after at least. Dash also followed up with “When that pre-workout shake got you feeling like you could fight Walker himself”; clearly mocking Kwan.

Halloween was a Hell of a time too, all the ghosts practically made the vines and memes and silly photos themselves! From shaky videos of ghosts breaking into places just to splatter around ectoplasm for the fuck of it to an absolute ton of different vines of the ghosts messing with the Box Ghosts hatred for all things circular. And Amity of course dealt with this by just joining in and upping the chaos, there was a lot of property damages. Someone even caught a video of Vlad Masters seemingly admiring a clearly blown-up building. There was a hot minute were the newest vines were nothing but ghostly sword fights involving flyswatters while Amity Parker’s screamed “SAVAGE” or “GOT ‘EM” after every hit. This all also lead to the discovery that ghost or ecto-peanut butter was a real thing and that Phantom was an absolute menace when armed with it; aka damn near everyone could to this day tell you that ecto-peanut butter tasted like vaguely burnt chia seeds and mustard due to Phantom basically shoving spoonfuls into every mouth he could while cackling, and yes it was repeatedly caught and turned into vines. It was some very sticky peanut butter.

Not all of them were happy fun times though. Phantom singing, “I’m not quite like them. I have no heart or brain” with a really Freakin’ pretty sunset in the background, or yet another one with Phantom where someone caught the ghost upsettedly wailing “I DIDN’T FEED ON PEOPLES EMOTIONS BEFORE! WHHHHHHYYYYY’ followed up by a lot of Vine clips of folks comforting a crying Phantom including one with a strange purple-cloaked blue-skinned ghost also comforting him; that caused so many rumours especially when it was later followed up by a somewhat silly vine of said cloak-wearing ghost covered in cake batter staring judgmentally at Phantom who was looking awkwardly at his phone saying “apparently I suck at baking comfort cakes and you can only try to remake a cake so many times before your teacher losses all faith in you”. Back on the more depressing note is all the montages of people dressing wounds over the tune of “cause we’re all fighters, and we’ve been so for a long time”. A weird amount of people found Danny’s “Walk into the family portal, it’ll give you ✨superpowers✨“ depressing since everyone and their mom knew about the teens title accident giving him a seriously weird strain of ecto-contamination.

Sometimes they were silly AND sad, like Phantom’s “This is a ghost's guide to dying. DON’T”; people not being too bothered by that one just highlighted how desensitised people were though. Other vine clips highlighted that even more, like the massive collection of different ones of Amity Parker’s going on ‘scary’ amusement park rides and rollercoasters while looking completely bored and/or pretending to sleep. Even one of a guy playing bejewelled while upside down on one. The “Quarantine restrictions lifted” trend, while funny, was also kinda sad since said restrictions were always lifted so fast that they might as well have never been put in place to begin with. They also spawned the very viral, “well folks apparently walking around with ectoplasm in your mouth screaming THE DECONTAMINATION ISNT WORKING isn’t a good idea”, with the Fenton GAV alarm blaring in the background.

But in the end, most were just silly goofy shit that horrified all the adults due to mostly teens doing questionable shit: shotgunning energy drinks, running full force into flaming dumpsters, attempting to swindle ghosts, breaking into G.I.W. vehicles, punching locker doors till they caved in, doing stick n’ poke tattoos. All in good, if reckless, fun; like memeing should be. The town being plagued by the spookies merely intensifying everything.

Phantom flying into a stop sign hard enough to remove it from the ground, transforming into Danny Freaking Fenton, and promptly saying “oop” at seeing whoever was pointing a phone at him, intensified everything so much that it broke the internet for multiple days.

But well, that’s Amity Park for you.

End.

Prompts: Vine Comp Fic: what are the shenanigans the Amity Park Citizens get up to? Danny has a break down after he starts feeding on human emotions. Its halloween time! And the ghosts are acting super rowdy! How will the citizens of amity park deal with this? Danny’s identity is revealed in the dumbest way. Peanut butter. Mr. Lancer doesn’t get paid enough for this. Danny discovers a new power and struggles to reconcile with/master it. Ever since the portal incident, most animals have been incredibly wary around Danny due to his pseudo-undead nature. Except for corvids, which have taken to flocking around him at all hours of the day. Neurodivergency! An unlikely alliance between a ghost and a student forms during detention. People around Amity park begin to notice blobs constantly trailing behind Danny Fenton. Ghosts are naturally drawn to death. When people die in Amity Park, Danny keeps finding the bodies. Danny giving or receiving comfort from Clockwork. Dani Phantom finds a skate park and learns how to use a skateboard Clockwork tries to teach Danny how to bake. As the Zone's newest Ghost King (*on a technicality), Danny inherits Pariah's ability to pull parts of Amity Park into the Ghost Zone, or vice versa. This is a problem, because like all of Danny's powers, there's a learning curve—and he can't quite control this one yet. Danny travels to Jupiter (Or Saturn, or Neptune, or some other extraterrestrial planet). Vlad kidnaps Danny in a phase-proof duffel bag. Optional: Vlad carries the bag with the strap across his torso for extra security because it’s my favorite carrying style. Unhinged/Feral Danny. go buckwild. (if he bites someone while undercaffinated all the better)

[lucifer-is-a-bag-of-dicks]

Do you ever imagine what Jack's side of the family is like? The side filled with ranch dressing, melted cheese, lots of fudge, and generations of supernatural hunters.

I imagine they're a mixed bag of doctorate earners and trailer park underachievers (or whatever look "Fun Danny" was rocking in Identity Crisis). Jack could have siblings, or maybe cousins he grew up close too, and Danny and Jazz could have cousins or second-cousins.

They could all meet each year and do an RV convoy to the Fudge Festival Rodeo. If they had missed doing that a year and his extended family hadn't seen him sense he was 12, they could gush about how much he grew (based off Elle, at 12 Danny was 4 feet even and still had a round chin like a baby). If Danny's cousins shared Jack's body type, they could be just a little older or his age still be able lift and toss him in the air like a preschooler.

the fact that we see nothing but one aunt in the show gives me the impression that he either doesn't have much extended family or that they're estranged due to distance or their profession

I write Jack to have been ostracised for his belief in ghosts and not treated very well by other kids at his school who thought he was weird, I've also written him as an only child, but considering his pride in being 'A Fenton!' it would make sense if he had a large close knit family, so a lot of cousins and aunts and uncles would make sense in that regard, and also it does just Feel Right for Jack to be part of a big family

so if their extended family are never mentioned in the show it may be simply because of distance, we know they had to travel by plane to visit Aunt Alicia so Maddie's side of the family are quite far away, Jack's might be the same, also Alicia's character was very southern and somehow I feel like Jack's family would have Big Country Folk vibes so maybe Jack and Maddie both came from the country

I always figured the Fentons settled down in Amity Park because it was considered a good location to open the portal, maybe it had a history of natural portals, high levels of ambient ectoplasm or other supernatural phenomena (I think I talked about this in another post once) so maybe they had to travel quite far from home to find somewhere with the right conditions for their work

I giant Fenton Family Reunion sounds like so much fun tho, like yes I'm so here for everyone being big and boisterous and fun, having them all be supernatural hunters of some kind could be a whole lot of fun and make an EXCELLENT headcanon, but I like to think they all sort of see Jack's work as like, a funny gimmick, like 'oh here's Mad Cousin Jack (affectionate) with his ghost stories!'

except like, one grizzled great uncle who Knows Things and has a ton of stories about ghosts and cryptids that he hunted back in his day, and he and Jack will talk for HOURS, but the uncle gets all cranky about these new fangled hunting weapons 'what happened to good old salt and blood blossoms?'

there's so many other good visuals like Jack sharing knitting tips with his aunts and Danny and Jazz getting pinched on the cheek and told they need to eat more because 'Fentons are built big and strong!' and your idea that they get tossed around by their bigger cousins is just *mwah* beautiful I love it, they're the outliers in the Fenton clan and get a lot of lighthearted ribbing for being so small

every year someone challenges Maddie to an arm wrestle, every year they lose, the Fentons love Maddie because she's small but she's fierce and strong as hell

also the mix of 'doctorate earners and trailer park underachievers' is so good I love that, like since as far as I'm concerned Jack is autistic as hell, and autism can run in families, I love the idea that half of them have their own neurodivergencies and weird interests so Jack's devout study of ghosts is just another one of the oddities of the Fenton clan, most of the rest of them are farm folk or tradies and it's not at all unusual to have an astrophysicist chatting about jigsaw puzzles with a bricklayer because it's both their hyperfixation

but it wouldn't matter what differences they had they would all go mad at the fudge festival and wrestle each other and holler and hoot out the RV windows whenever they drive past each other

the Fenton clan just sounds like they would be so much fun and I want in

also post-portal incident Danny would finally be strong enough to impress the cousins and they all get so fucking excited when he finally wins an arm wrestle
