Danny's Phanclub

Chapter 3

First prev

By January 12th, Dani had visited Angie 4 times. She had heard all her theories, time lines, and saw photos of everyone who had been reported missing or dead at all four ski mountains in Illinois. Hundreds. There were hundreds of photos. Hundreds of people.

Angie was methodical. She didn't take evidence into account unless it could be verified, yet she still had so. much. evidence. It makes sense, doesn't it? He has ice powers, his ghostly wail, his bubble, he's really pale too. The other ghosts aren't as pale as they are. What if he did die on a mountain?

Dani stares mortified in the bathroom mirror. Was her nose always so frostbitten? She removes her left glove. The tips of her fingers are grayish blue. She had never really examined her ghost form. She took off one boot, and her feet were blue, too.

What if?

It's too late to ask Danny. He's away for school again. Maybe Jazz? She wasn't there. She can't ask Sam or Tucker. They weren't her friends they're Danny's. What if they make fun of her? She needs to find out. And there's only one person who can give her actual answers.

Despite living in Vlads mansion, it's a lot easier to sneak into Fenton works and use the portal there. Actually, sneaking is an overstatement. She walked in through their unlocked front door, and the portal had been left open.

She hasn't been in the ghost zone often. Luckily, she brought a hand drawn map she found in the lab. It took 3 hours no time at all for an expert explorer to find the place she was looking for.

The Far Frozen was as welcoming as she'd heard. No sign of life the dead as far as she could see. Until a flying vehicle carrying two yetis found her.

"Halt! Who goes there?" One yells from their perch.

"Dani Phantom, with an i. I'm here to see Frostbite." She declares with feigned confidence.

"Ay, it's Danny Phantom, the savior of the ghost zone!

Well, that was easy. Vlad had described them like savage beasts, but she knew if Danny trusted them, they had to be alright.

One very long ride and a very long explanation later. The yetis finally understood that Dani is not, in fact, a deaged Danny.

She expected more pushback, but Frostbite was more than willing to help "The great ones, heir" get a handle on things.

She got a full examination. In every way, she is exactly the same as the original except for two. She is younger, and she has a different core.

A different core. She's not the same.

"You have a water core. The element of change is unpredictable and adventurous. Like any ghost, you can fuel it by following your obsession. What is your obsession, my dear?"

Oh, what's her obsession? Did she even have one. It's so clear-cut for the others. They all changed dramatically when they died or in Danny and Vlads case "died."

"I'm not sure I have one." Dani looked down.

"Of course you do. You lack experience now, but pay attention. Go home, do what you usually do, and whenever you have an urge to do something, write it down. Whenever doing something fills you with energy, write it down. Then come back to me and show me what you discover.

Yes! A quest! Dani can do quests!

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

I think we as a society should bring back brotps. I think we should be weirder about characters being friends the same way people are weird about ships. Make those two characters who interacted once or twice besties. Make it difficult for them to get rid of each other even if they want to. Go nuts

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

i thought i was at my lowest but holy shit it gets lower

[sidewalk-cracks]

The batkids encountering distressed children and calling them "sweetheart", subconsciously mimicking how Bruce would and will call them sweetheart when they're distressed, and not even realizing it?? Don't speak to me. I can't.

"So, handling your archnemesis," Danny starts. The room falls quiet, heads slowly turning to look at the man as he writes the words on the chalkboard. When finished, the characters somehow both messy and neat at once, Danny places the chalk back down and claps his hands.

"I typically call them fruitloops. Often they're in a better position than you are- older, richer, more powerful. They may have some sort of status that protects them when facing the public."

Tim wondered where Dick was right now, and if he was laughing. His brain was lagging like a computer as he tried to process what Danny was saying, and how seriously a few of his fellow teen vigilantes were taking this.

"Some of their more common tactics are-" the chalk was picked back up, and Danny writes as he speaks.

"Manipulation, isolation, conditioning, and empathy."

MICE.

Tim stares at the board, and quietly slips put his phone.

-What have I done to deserve this.

Enjoy your lessons Tim-

His head thumps against the desk. Conner leans over, gives him a pat on the shoulder but returns to taking notes as Danny goes on to explain the conditioning tactic.

the easy grip on the knife. the leg over the seat. the hand over the other seat. the sassy "come get it" move. you know the bitch is smiling behind that mask even as he said the line.
