Danny and Ellie are forced to flee Amity Park. And find themselves in Coast City.
I started writing this with the intention of only writing a short prompt, but then I just kept going until I felt like I’d written enough.
Danny gets caught up in yet another fight with Skulker, only this time it wasn’t because Skulker had come for Danny. No. He’d come for Ellie. And she was already weak from fleeing the GIW who had shot at her the moment she arrived in Amity Park.
Whether Skulker is after Ellie for Vlad, or because he wants her pelt can be up to you.
Either way, he manages to beat Skulker and captures him in the thermos. Just as he lets out a long sigh of relief he hears the sound of an ecto-gun being fired and then his side is burning and he’s falling. He’s falling too fast and it hurts and he can’t stop-
Danny guys the ground hard. His head is spinning, his skin feels like it’s burning, and he can hear the stomping of feet as someone runs towards him.
He needs to get up. He needs to get away. Find Ellie and make sure she’s safe. He’s needs to MOVE- but he can’t. Black spots for his vision as he manages to stand up and his eyes meet the end of his mother’s gun.
Before anyone can speak, he’s falling again, handing face first in the dirt. And the familiar feeling of de-transforming washes over him.
The last thing he hears before loosing consciousness is the grief stricken sound of his parent’s voice as three voices shout in unison.
“OH MY GOD DANNY!”
“DANNY ARE YOU OKAY?!”
“NO, GET AWAY FROM HIM!”
When Danny wakes up again, he’s in his room, the curtains are drawn but he can see the sliver of sunlight pouring in through the gap underneath. He notes that his body aches, but not as much as usual after a fight like that. And there’s a warmth enveloping his hand. It’s soothing, and he almost considers going back to sleep when he notices that there’s a ghost in the room. And all too fast he’s sitting up and staring into the exhausted, red, puffy eyes of his mother looking back at him from where she’s sitting holding his hand in hers.
Just behind her he sees Ellie floating just above the ground talking quietly with his dad.
“Danny,” his mother’s voice draws his attention along with Jack and Ellie’s. “How are you feeling, sweetheart? Are you in any pain?”
He didn’t notice when she’d helped him to lay back down again. “Do you need anything? Ellie here was just telling us about how regular pain medication doesn’t work as well for the two of you. But I’m sure we could find something for you that might-”
“Mom,” Danny rasps. Man his throat was dry.
As if reading him mind Ellie appears by his mother’s side holding out a glass of water with a straw in it. Maddie helps Danny to sit up a little more so he can drink.
“Mom,” he tries again, sounding better this time, “I’m okay. I promise. It’s not that bad!” He starts to lie as the panic sets in. He de-transformed in front of them. He knows he did. And the fear shows on his face, it must, because before he can even begin trying to think up an excuse his mother is crying.
“Oh Danny, it’s okay. We know. And we’re not angry at you. We love you. So much.”
And Danny’s heart swells at hearing it. “You don’t hate me for being Phantom?” He asks quietly.
“No! We could never hate you Dann-o!” His dad’s cheery tone doesn’t disguise the sadness and guilt etched into his face. “We’re just…so sorry that we never noticed before. And that we…” he can’t finish his sentence but he doesn’t need to. Danny already knows what he’s apologise for.
“I’m okay. I promise. I heal fast!” Danny tied to reassure them.
It seems to help a little, though his parents still have a grim look in their eyes. As they make connections in just how Danny would know that about himself.
And Ellie, with perfect timing to cut the tension, announces happily, “Danny! Good news! Your parents said I could stay with you!”
Ellie had told his parents while Danny was unconscious about being his clone. She saw how they fretted over Danny, cleaning and dressing his injuries with the love and care she only imagined from a parent that truly loves you. And they had accepted her almost right away. Jack even crying as he proudly declared himself a father of three.
Jack soon excused himself, saying he’ll go see if Jazz needs any help with cooking lunch. Danny and his mother share a look, and with a final kiss to his head says she’ll go make sure nothing gets brought back to life. And she asks Ellie to please make sure Danny stays in bed and rests.
Danny and Ellie are left alone in his room, and it gives Danny the chance to really revel in everything. His parents accept him. They love him, both sides of him. And they accepted Ellie too! And said she can stay! She doesn’t have to be alone anymore.
Now, a lot can happen in the span of a few seconds, let alone minutes. In the time it took for Maddie to reach the kitchen, their front door was kicked down and a group of GIW agents had stormed in demanding they hand over the ectoplasmic scum they were harbouring.
Jack and Maddie drew their weapons and planted themselves directly in front of the GIW agents. The agents state that a ghost shield was put up around the house to prevent any ghosts from escaping, and by law any ghosts within the premises were ti be handed over for destruction immediately. Jazz runs upstairs to Danny’s room to warn them that the GIW were inside the house and that they needed to run. They need to get to the portal NOW.
With all the authority of an older sister Jazz tells Ellie to grab the go bag Danny had insisted on having prepared, and picks Danny up despite his protests that he could walk. Or well, fly. Ellie turns them all invisible and intangible and takes them down to the lab.
They can hear the sound of shouting, and something breaking and a gun being fired all coming from upstairs as Jazz opens the portal for Danny and Ellie.
Another shot rings out. And then another, and more shouting.
“Quickly you two need to go!”
Another shot.
“Aren’t you coming with us?” Danny, now Phantom, asks suddenly as he and Ellie are preparing to enter the Ghost Zone.
Two more shots.
“Someone needs to be here to deactivate the portal in case the guys in white make it down here. I’ll be fine. Mom and dad will be okay, they’re not here for us so you two need to go. Now!” There’s banging on the lab’s door and Jazz shoves both Danny and Ellie into the portal. The last thing Danny hears before the portal closes behind them is another shot being fired.
Danny is scared and angry as he and Ellie are forced to fly through the zone with no currently known way to get back to his family. He needs to make sure they’re okay. He needs to protect them.
But right now Danny is still hurt, and he needs to get himself and Ellie somewhere safe. They begin to slowly make their way through the zone, looking for somewhere to rest and avoiding any ghosts that might want to pick a fight.
Ellie isn’t sure how long she and Danny have been moving for. It feels like it could have been days, or hours, or even minutes. But Danny can’t fly as quickly right now. He’s trying to keep a brave face for Ellie’s sake but she can see the exhaustion beginning to take hold of him.
So Ellie makes the executive decision to touch down somewhere to rest. She tells Danny she’s tired. Danny knows she isn’t and it’s only because she’s worried and wants him to rest. So he goes along with it and they make their way to the next floating island they come across and thank the ancients it’s empty. The two halfas touch down and Danny slumps over as he sits against a nearby rock. Ellie pulls out some energy bars that were tucked away in the go bag and hands one over to Danny.
They do this a few times, stopping to rest, as they gradually make their way to the Far Frozen. Ellie had insisted on going there, Frostbite would know what to do, and he would be able to help Danny with his injuries that had started bleeding again in all the commotion of escaping, and then flying and hiding from ghosts known to attack Danny regularly.
But unfortunately luck is not on their side yet again as a natural portal rips open directly in front of them, and closes behind them after spitting them out in a city they didn’t recognise.
That’s how Danny and Ellie find themselves in Coast City, hiding out in an old warehouse by the docs while Danny heals and they figure out how they’re going to get back home.
That is, until now.
Danny stares up at his little sister and sighs with the resigned tone of an exasperated older sibling.
“Ellie,” he takes a breath, “what did you do?”
“I’m my defence,” Ellie glares up at Green Lantern, who has Ellie scruffed by the back of her hoodie, before looking back at Danny, “I simply do not vibe with the law.”
#dp x dc#dc x dp#dpxdc#dcxdp#green lantern#Hal Jordan#Danny phantom#Danny Fenton#Ellie phantom#Ellie Fenton#good parents Jack and Maddie#good Fenton parents#Ellie was just getting some food#she didn’t expect someone to try to rob her!#and she didn’t mean to punch him that hate she was just scared and needed to get back to her brother#Hal has no idea what’s going on#one kid punched a guy hard enough to knock him through a wall#and the other is very clearly injured and also very exhausted by the other kids antics#siblings he guesses#homeless ones at that#and then he noticed the black hair and blue eyes and realises that oh no#he can’t let Batman find out about these kids

i gotta say my best motivator for working out so far has been one day i might have to punch a nazi. like usually i feel ugh about working out and whatnot but the past month has been a little invigorating. i think "nooo im sore and i don't wanna" and then i remember and suddenly i'm getting 2 hours of a workout in and i feel great
#i started trying to learn boxing and i've never seen my dad more excited#my brother does that shadow boxing things guys do where they like randomly punch the air and fake fight#but he never got into actual boxing#i think my dad has been waiting for the day one of his kids is like “hey can you teach me how to box”#he did teach me how to throw a punch and other basic self defense but those were like essentials#punch a nazi

most of my interactions with my niece were like this because for the first ten months or so of her life I was terrified of picking her up so she figured out how to climb me
#unfortunately I see her every other weekend and she refused to let me not know how to be around children#she was like a cat she'd find the person in the room most allergic (me) and go 'THAT's a lap I need to be on' and not take no for an answer#and now I can swing her around and do squats with her on my shoulders#so I can all but pick up her little brother by the scruff now thanks to her intensive training asdfghj#that's my point of reference for vegeta and trunks lmao#except obvs we aren't cartoons and despite me being a very solitary person she and her brother are both very snuggly kids#so I've had to get used to being hugged and clung too all the time which has also served as a great ref for vegeta comedy asdflk#when she was a baby-baby and someone would hand her to me she would always punch me in the face#never failed to make me laugh#'like oh okay is that how it's gonna be???' kasjdlasj she's a good kid#now she will find me and read to me in her native language (baby gibberish)

Unironically think that each of the bros (+April) don’t actually get how impressive their feats really are so they just do what they do and on the off chance someone comments on those feats they all react like:
#rottmnt#tmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#no but really#I love thinking that they’re actually way more prideful about the stuff that does not even hold a candle to their other feats#like yeah Mikey can open a hole in the space time continuum but that’s nothing have you TRIED his manicotti??#yeah Leo has outsmarted multiple incredibly intelligent and capable people AND knows how to rewire AI but eh did you hear his one liners?#donnie accidentally made regular animatronics sentient but that was an oopsie check out his super cool hammer instead#raph was able to fake his own death to save the entirety of New York and then be the one to bring about his brothers’ inner powers-#but forget about that did you know he can punch like a BOSS?#and April can survive and THRIVE against a demonic suit of armor alongside literal weapons of destruction as a regular human-#but her crane license is where it’s really at#(not to mention all the other secondary talents and skills these kids all just sorta have like - they are VERY CAPABLE)#honorable mentions in this regard go moments like#donnie ordering around an entire legion of woodland critters to create a woodsy tech paradise#or Leo being able to avoid an entire crowd’s blind spots in plain sight#and also being able to hold a pose without moving a millimeter while covered in paint and being transported no I’m NOT OVER THAT#Mikey casually being ridiculously strong and also knowledgeable enough about building to help Donnie make the puppy paradise for Todd#Raph literally led an entire group of hardened criminals like that entire episode was just#basically they’re all so capable????#and at the same time prone to wiping out at the most inopportune of moments#love them sm

one miya twins hc i just can’t believe isn’t true is mama miya telling the twins before the first day of kindergarten that it’s not ok to hit people most of the time but if someone else starts the fight you can finish it and if someone is bullying your brother you have permission to hit them. that very same day they come home and their mom almost immediately finds out that osamu hit a kid for saying atsumu was stupid, then the kid swung on osamu so atsumu shoved him to the ground within seconds
#mama miya slightly regrets saying all that but mostly is proud of her boys for standing up for eachother#this is also exactly what my dad told me when my younger brothers joined my class when they were in pre school and i was in kindergarten#and then i punched a kid for saying something mean about my brother#haikyuu#miya atsumu#miya osamu#miya twins#original overanalyzing

the first thing you told me when i first started watching jreg is that he is clearly very smart and creative and artistic and he uses it so poorly. and i just have to say extremely true & it holds up
imagine if jreg got the autism that made him hyperfixated on nickel creek instead of hyperfixated on being annoying
honestly i think he has enough of a grasp on how to make music that he could do it extremely well with enough years of genuine practice. sorta like a lemon demon situation where it started as jokey songs but eventually it turned into songs with silly premises that are made unbelievably well.
i really do respect the commitment to satire + its infinite layers and i do think its a very smart way to conceal personal details about your life, but that's kinda it. in terms of it being a running joke, it just got so TIRED, you can only take "haha he's lying, but he could be telling the truth. unless? 👀" and run with it so many times. like adding onto a joke (or a potential joke or whatever else he decides to call it atp) after the topic already changed
just read this ask back and realised you said artistic instead of autistic and that doesnt change any of what i said but i do think its funnier now
#desire mona#ghoul i wish you a very jreg gets less annoying about being funny#because he IS funny its just that he's streamlining his humour into being ingenuine in every way possible#OR IS HE?!?!?!?)?#i thought centricides was funny! i think he makes great sketch comedy and is very creative with how he executes it!! do something else with#that talent <3#kid a - punch brothers#ask#kutner support group

would you 🥺 please draw anwen (gwens daughter) as a teenager 🥺🥺 i love her to bits
*boomer voice* is this what kids look like these days?
her and her little brother hunt aliens and solve mysteries bc they look up to their mum and were raised on stories of uncle jack, uncle owen, uncle ianto and aunty tosh !! but since they don’t live in cardiff the most mysterious things they investigate are like ‘what happened to mrs smith’s missing cat’ (gwen is very glad of this)
#I have no idea if this is what teenagers wear these days I feel like such an oap (i’m 22)#if they lived in cardiff she would be doing tiktok trends with wevils#torchwood#torchwood fanart#anwen williams#dwmmm.ask#her unnamed brother to me is called ifan harper#so it’s not exactly a harry potter epilogue style direct naming but it’s a homage to ianto and owen#but also realistically he’s probably called like aled or dafydd or gareth or something#gimme torchwood next gen sillies#kate steward child labour employer is eyeing her up for an internship#however they’re all still hiding in Iceland so she’s safe for now#uncle jack drops in occasionally and the kids go crazy for him#she’s the type of kid to punch another kid in the playground age 5 for saying something mean to someone#badass covered in plasters constantly and stands up to bullies#she takes after her mum a lot#you didn’t ask for my idea of what she’s up to but I hope you enjoy anyway

i rewatched gravity falls with my friend for the first time since i was like 10 and man the humor in that show is still top-notch. i was 8 when it was ongoing and some of the jokes were so funny to me that i would run out of my room and miss a bit of the episode so i could re-tell the joke to my mom. i still think stanley pines is one of the funniest characters in anything ever
#skye's ramblings#yeah the whole falling out w his brother and spending 30 yrs trying to get him back is profoundly sad. but also he is so fucking funny#the line 'finally a good reason to punch a teenager in the face! let's roll!!' has lived in my head rent free for at least a decade now#me relaying the jokes to my mom while she was trying to watch her own show is something i think abt every now and then#i think she deserves an award for putting up with little skye sometimes. autistic kids are so funny and also insane

I’ve noticed quite a few fans are hoping the movie’s sequel will take bigger risks than the first one and have more dark and angsty moments. While I would like to see it, too, realistically, it should not go overboard to the point where the rating becomes PG-13 instead of PG.
What do you think? What are the limits to how many dark/intense moments can be included in a future movie without it becoming PG-13?
Technically, there are a lot of things a movie can do and still have a PG rating. All Dogs Go To Heaven and Watership Down have a PG rating while having a good deal of violent imagery and themes revolving around death.
I don't think the threat of accidentally bumping things up to a PG-13 will be what keeps the second Mario Movie lighthearted so much as Illumination's child-friendly reputation. Then there's Nintendo, who... while not afraid to get serious at times... still have a very colorful/lighthearted vibe connected to their main mascot.
Honestly, I was surprised they went as dark as they did in the movie we got. They never shied away from the fact that Mario and Luigi could die at any moment, and Bowser was even more violent and threatening than his game counterpart. That "let's see how tough this Mario is when he watches me kill his brother!" line genuinely surprised me.
Overall, I don't think they're going to make the sequel much darker than the original. Will they up the anti? of course! but they'll do it in a fun, colorful, adventurous way rather than an angsty way. Our biggest hope is the 1-up mushroom coming into play, yet even then I suspect the (bloodless) death of the doomed character would last for a very brief span of time. But it would be wild if they had one of the Mario Brothers watch the other die, even if said death only lasts for a few moments.
#and if they do it had BETTER feel like a punch directly to the gut#live up to the suffering but make it short-lived for the sake of the kids#quickly remedy the sadness with a bro hug that'll melt glaciers#askbox#anon#mario movie#super mario bros#super mario brothers

the fact that this was my first ship speaks volumes, like of course I seek out the most problematic, toxic, aggressive person in a show and pair them with a dramatic, whiny, obnoxious brat. The cycle repeats itself again and again
#I remember standing on the internet freeway and begging for Elitz (😭😭😭) fanfiction#Fav part about Degrassi gotta be where we can ship everyone without repercussions bc it's Degrassi#like yes there are 72737382737372 queer kids in attendance at all times.#And what about it???#Yes that Mormon girl is in love with a trans guy#And yes Fiona did kiss her twin brother#Nothings off limits at Degrassi high#Loved Clare. Not with Eli tho#“YOU PUNCH LIKE MY GRANDMA”#remember the first time Fitz grabbed Eli and thought yeah...that's the stuff I'm lookin for#degrassi#eli goldsworthy#Fitz Fitzgerald#clare edwards

Do you think Niji ever electrocuted Sanji when they were kids?
Yes. And now I raise you: Do you think Sanji handled what happened with Enel well because he was already used to being electrocuted by his brother all the time? And one day somebody asks him about this burn scar that's obviously caused by electrocution and he instantly goes "Oh, no, that's not from Skypiea" and everyone is extremely concerned because if it is not from Skypiea, where the fuck did he get a scar like that? And he doesn't say anything else. But then Luffy meets his siblings and he just knows.
#niji when i catch you when i fucking catch you niji-#i'm a liar he's my fav vinsmoke but i also want to punch him#but yeah tbh you could say any cruel thing his brothers could've done to him and i'd believe it bc i mean- have you seen them#i always make sanji have so many scars from when he was a kid in my fics#one piece#black leg sanji

One of the foundational parts of Cecios character is that hes not actually smarter than Muro and he knows it, but he has a white father, is light skinned, had citizenship and doesn't have a learning disability so he has his teachers and most adults fawn over him where they despised Muro, and the good grades he strove for to prove that their mother didnt "cause" Muros learning disability, are just used to indirectly praise his absent father and put down his mother and brother. He has more privilege than his brother and many in his community and he seethes about it. Its why he wanted to become a lawyer, so he could try and use how people see him as 'one of the good ones' to help the people left behind by that bullshit sentiment.
#gold & silver#oc: cecio#the only thing that holds him back from punching those people in the face is that *that* would be seen as his mother and brothers influence#every now and again i am tempted to do something with Cecios father bc. ough. but i dont think Cecio would be able to hold back#Something about how both him and Elena play the model minority to get where they are#and it fucks them up inside#Cecios so called academic genius is because hes not expected to be smart#because of his mother. because of his community. ect...#but hes deemed “good” [read: close enough to whiteness] enough to be turned into a 'heartwarming' success story about how hes better off#In italy than his mothers homeland#When ngl. Egypt had Dio rattling around for a bit but it doesnt have superpowered mafia#Cecio is smart but its more just because hes a hard worker who knew education was the key to a better life for his family#and he stands out as smart from the rest of his peers because the bigotry of the teachers and others mean they dismiss his peers intelligen#and ascribe the structural reasons that screw over these kids to personal failings
