DP x DC Ring of rage

Why is it I don’t see much about the effects of the ring of rage?

Chiefly the fact it has an angry and wrathful influence on the wearer

You see plenty of ghost king au Dannys but it totally ignores the rage aspect of an item that makes up half the pair of items that give pariah the mega power boost

It just wouldn’t make sense for it to not affect Danny

Danny has his petty moments, he’s impulsive and with Vlad he definitely has a vindictive streak. He’s also not immune to emotional manipulation as shown in Fanning the Flames. It makes sense that the anger that comes with the ring would be something he struggles with

The canon effect of this item is the same as Jason’s “pit rage”(which is fanon) so in a situation those two are in together Danny is the one that’s going to go off if he has the ring

Ex-Pariah Wonder

Ex-lovers Wonder Woman and Pariah Dark Crack pairing Young Pariah Dark looked like a older Danny as Phantom. (think of Gojo, TYBW Toshiro(adult)) Wonder Woman was Pariah Dark's ex-girlfriend, as he was younger 1,000 years ago, and a pretty nice hero. But that changed after he took the Crown of Fire and Ring of Rage, and well, that did go insane and started to change. From his old silver-haired look to Giant with green hair and Tyrant (think of the Ice King Adventure Time for what the Crown did to Pariah), And then centuries were gone, and she didn't think much of her ex other than that he was imprisoned last she heard. But now a cult is trying to summon him, who was still insane, to her world. + So imagine Diana as the cult trying to summon not her ex but has failed badly. As the small boy who looked like the child version of Pariah came out, with the silver hair, green eyes, and his smile, he had the ring of rage on his finger!! Was this Pariah`s child? He would never give away the ring or something similar. But then she saw him turn into a black-haired and blue-eyed boy that looked similiar to her. Did he, while crazy, create the boy? I mean they talked about children and had the clay. But first, take away the ring; she saw what it did to Pariah firsthand. + Danny had been on the run since he stole the ring from Vlad. And I was now in this new place; it was pretty cool to see other heroes. He would find a good place to throw this ring, like the Observants and Clockwork wanted from him. How hard will it be to find a black hole when you have alien heroes here that can help him find one? Vlad would never find it!

Ring of Rage was a mistranslation (prompt)

While I’m working on art I actualy plan to properly finish this time so I can finally prove that yes I can indeed art, I thought hey might as well drop a couple of headcanons that’s been floating around my brain for a while now. Everything below are all my personal headcanons. 

The Ring of Rage is a mistranslation that created a misunderstanding while Pariah Dark was trapped in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. Ghost Speak is a type of All Speak language, but for the undead. The Ring of Rage never had an english name, only an undead name. Due to this when the ring was spoken about in the engish language it was mistranslated.

Danny only ever knew Pariah Dark as a raging tyrant, heard the Ring of Rage be called what it is, and was terrified of wearing it. Danny never wanted to become The infinity Realm’s ruler to begin with, but he could only hold it off for so long. The Infinity Realm demands a person in power to maintain the balance within the infinity. To help the ruler manage a Realm in which knowledge is never ending and constantly expanding, changing, warping, the Infinity Realm bestowed upon their first Monarch a crown and a ring. 

The Crown of Fire brings forth power. Power to control and manage all within the Realm. Power that is needed in order enforce the balance that the Realm needs and demands. 

The Ring of Rage, Danny learned what it’s true name was after he finally gave in and wore it. The Ring gave him knowledge, infinite knowledge. Danny was no longer Danny, he was so much more and yet he was still himself. His mind was filled with everything that is known, was known, and will be known. Omnipotent knowledge. Danny saw what it meant to be God. Danny will never be the same. 

The Ring of Rage was a mistranslation. After wearing the ring Danny knows this more that anything. Danny experienced for himself the true name of the ring. 

The Ring of Madness.

My take on Ghost King Danny

Working on getting comfortable w/ digital art

[broken-blue-heart]

I have made fanart for Rin_may_1103's DC x DP crossover fic called "Green Never Looked So Sad Until I Lost You" on ao3

Hopefully I didn't mess anything up or miss a few color strokes, I don't think I did but probably sooner or later I'll realize I made a color mistake. Maybe 😅

Pompep Week Day 6: Immortal Husbands

[spoopyspoony]

Ok so I'm a big fan of Ghost King Danny, and I think it's super cool whenever people have the Royal Artifacts change to suit the ruler. Crown of Ice/Aroura slaps like all getout. However! If/whenever writers alter the Ring of Rage, they always seem to change it to "Peace" or "Serenity" or "Justice" or something of that ilk, and that always strikes me as incongruous for Danny, even within the context of the fics. These things get picked because Danny is a "hero", as a generic Good Guy tag. The most creative I've seen is "Ring of Balance" (can't remember where I saw it) but I think we can get more creative, especially if we ditch the whole "assigning moral significance to inherently amoral attributes"

Ex: Ring of Chaos, Ring of Stupid, Ring of Space, Ring of Whimsy, Ring of Tired, Ring of Loyalty, Ring of Problems, Ring of Secrets, Ring of Contradiction

Feel free to add more possibilities, both silly and serious

[crystallicedart]

[incompletethoughtsofmine]

I headcanon that the Ring of Rage and the Crown of Fire changed their names and appearances when Danny took the thron. In my mind they turned into the Ring of Balance and the Crown of Frost

[new-revenant]

I just came up with this headcanon, I'm sorry.

What if.

1 option. The Crown of Power and the Ring of Fury are the full-fledged "queen/king" of the Infinite Worlds. They just need a host as an advisor and partner.

Option 2. The Crown of Infinite Worlds chooses its own "king." And her choice fell on Danny after Pariah's defeat. (Imagine that the crown did not share any powers with Pariah, he thought it was just a bling and an important accessory to understand who Pariah is. It just burned beautifully over his head)

Option 3? Combine the 2 points where Crown and Ring are the rulers of the Ghost Zone, have their own minds and opinions, but after Pariah everything went down the same path. Perhaps Pariah was so powerful that he unknowingly drove the consciousness of the two great artifacts inside themselves, considering the Ring and Crown to be the usual signs of a ruler. Suppose, if he subdued them to himself, was he using only a fraction of their power? They never spoke to him.

When Danny defeats Pariah, the Artifacts make a "bluetooth connection" to the boy, at least to test his mind, character, and strength in case of another madness.

(They're physical objects, of course, but that doesn't stop them from appearing over Danny's head and on his finger at some point, and disappearing just as well. If there is a meeting or negotiation with someone, the Crown and the Ring flare up and reveal themselves, the King conveying some opinion to the people on their behalf)

I honestly love all of these ideas, and I don’t think I can add much to them. However, what if I were to take the Bluetooth analogy further?

Once Danny gets the Crown of Fire, a screen pops up in his mind. A text box that says, “Crown of Fire” and another that says “Ring of Rage” are there. He hesitantly selects the Crown of Fire first, and the Crown just pops up on his head.

There’s now a little “Connected” that’s in the Crown of Fire text box, with an “(i)” that’s next to that. Pressing the (i), he sees the four new boxes, “Name” with the words “Crown of Fire” off to the right of the box, “Device Type,” “Disconnect,” and “Forget This Device.”

He goes to the Name box, and changes the “Crown of Fire” to “Crown of Ice” since he does have ice powers. Suddenly, the flaming crown above him changes, and now a crown of ice sits above his head.

Oh, Danny’s going to have some fun with this.

[the-witchhunter]

It’s weird that the show said that the Ring of Rage and the Crown of Fire are sentient then never elaborated

Legit, they just say that Pariah was strong enough to control the entities within the ring and crown and then it’s never discussed again

It’s a single line too, I have questions about this. It feels like it should have been the setup for something, and maybe it was but then season 3 happened

[dannyphantomphan]

What if the crown of fire and the ring of rage had the cores of the past kings and queens of the ghost zone in them and Danny can hear them when he becomes king, wait does that mean that Danny can hear pariah dark

[vonehrenfest]

Theory: The Crown of Fire has no special power boosts, but it does give you special abilities/magical authority.

When Vlad goes to take the Ring of Rage, he says “Here I am, with all his [Pariah’s] power in the palm of my hand.” Which implies that the stuff that lets Pariah blow lairs to bits is coming exclusively from the Ring. Whatever constitutes “raw power”, the Crown isn’t contributing to it.

The Crown clearly isn’t just an empty key though. As Skulker exposits “Only he could control the energies contained within the Crown of Fire and Ring of Rage.” We know from Vlad that the energies in the Ring is “Raw Power” but there is also clearly something powerful and important in the Crown too.

The final hint is what Fright Knight says when he pulls the entire town into the Ghost Zone- “By the authority vested in me by my lord and liege, I claim this town now and forever under the weather of Lord Pariah- The King Of All Ghosts!” He very specifically mentions Pariah’s title and that Pariah has given him the authority to do this. How I interpret this is that the Crown allows Pariah to share his power with the Fright Knight, if it isn’t also what’s allowing Pariah to do something as reality-defying as teleporting a whole town into a different dimension.

Like with the Ring of Rage, there may be other powerful artifacts in the Ghost Zone that can only be used if one has the power of the King given by the Crown.

Red Ringbearer

A bit of an expansion on the whole 'Halfa Jason being Danny's Red Knight with time travel shenanigans' idea. Got a bunch of other stuff mashed up in the idea and world building as well. The name is still tentative.

--------------------------

“The Infinite Realms, and the very mess that is the multiverse with all its timelines, realities, universes, and dimensions, rested upon the unintended consequences of the beings we call the Firstborn. The Firstborn were quite literally the first sentient beings that ever existed, formed sometime between what you would call the Bathwater Epoch, some fifteen million years after the Big Bang, and the formation of the first stars in the universe, some hundred million years after the Big Bang.” Clockwork said as he captivated Danny with images of space, of the universe at grand scales. Out of all the stuff becoming the High King of the Infinite Realms has given him, cosmic history with Clockwork remained a favorite.

Sure, it was more class but Danny wanted to be an astronaut when he was young, so space remained one of the captivating subjects when it ever popped up in class.

“The Firstborn were the first to master magic, science, nature, technology, any field they set their minds on. One of the things they figured out was essentially creation out of nothing. The creation of the multiverse was an accidental side effect of their actual goal, which is essentially setting up an artificial afterlife with specially designed mental copies to allow the continuation of consciousness after the death of their physical forms.”

When Danny later told that to his friends, Tucker was at awe at the very idea.

“You’re telling me the Firstborn accidentally created the multiverse as a side effect of making an afterlife for themselves! It’s like us creating the Internet only to find out we accidentally created worlds with life in them, like... like… Tron or Digimon!” Danny recalled the tone of disbelief.

“They even created their own gods, based on their philosophies. We call them Entities, the first Ancients though they sleep yet still dreaming. They are, for all intents and purposes, the foundations of the Infinite Realms, and so all realities and all peoples are influenced by them on some level. Known as the Five and Two, the Five Base Emotions and the Two Aspects of Existence. The Rage represents all anger in existence but is also about making things fair. War and justice are domains given to it in the passing of time, as well as an association with the color red. The Anguish represents all sadness but also acts as the keeper of memory. The Revulsion represents disgust but also focuses on good health. The Terror represents fear but also safety and preservation. The Ecstasy represents joy but also pleasure. Meanwhile, the Two Aspects are opposite yet complimentary and both are necessary as too much of one side is unhealthy. There is the Self, the inward focused aspect, the power behind all left-handed magics, techniques, and methods, and thus seen as a malevolent by some, yet it is the power of the Self, the I, that allows boosts of power, self-worth, even godhood when strong enough. It is the power behind our cores. The power to look at reality and proclaim that reality is what one makes of it. The excess of the Self results in a sociopathic solipsism, the mindset that nothing else is real except the individual. Its opposite is the Wheel, the Web, the World, the outward focused aspect, the power behind all right-handed magics, techniques, and methods, and thus seen as benevolent by some. Empathy and understanding are said to be its gifts but an excess of the Web typically results in complete dissolution. Some say it’s fully passing on; others say they become one with existence. Nirvana is another explanation.”

Clockwork turned to face Danny, both to check if he was listening to the lecture and to see if the Crown and the Ring has attuned to him. With a snap, floating portraits of various high rulers appear, circling around the two.

Danny looked at the first portrait he saw and read the writing on the floating plaque below it.

A painting of a ghostly woman in a blue mourning robe and shawl with rivers of tears flowing from her eyes. The crown floated above her in a crown shaped water bubble while the ring rested on her finger. A sense of melancholy and despair seemed to emanate from the painting.

“The Crown of Authority and the Ring of Emotion are not just the symbols of office as the high king. The history of the Infinite Realms has numerous dynasties, interregnums, figurehead rulers, ruling councils, and even democratically elected rulers of various kinds. But not all of them attuned to the two and gain true authority to rule. The Crown will shift to fit your core’s element, while the Ring will require the agreement with one Entity. The Coronation and the Investiture.”

Danny glanced at another painting.

A painting of a being of shadow with glowing white eyes posed in a rather rigid and subtly unnatural manner. The crown floated above him, darker than the darkness surrounding it, while the ring rested on his finger, glowing a white like his eyes with some hint of yellow. A sense of fear, dread, and anxiety emanated from the painting.

Clockwork glanced at the painting with a cryptic smile.

“Some idiot thought awakening an Entity would make them high monarch during a long interregnum period. The Terror King ruled the Infinite Realms in a reign of fear, anxiety, and dread. Ironically, he did nothing that resulted in such fear. The Entity himself was quite an anxious ditherer and it was more of an effect of his aura than anything he commanded. He had to be sealed away lest the other Entities wake up and unintentionally destroy the Infinite Realms and thus the multiverse. He’s currently living through a couple of time loops in California, living out his young adult-ish high school years. Not your California, another reality’s California though there’s probably a version of him in your California. The need for multiple vessels to house its power and all.”

Danny turned to look at Clockwork, wondering if he was serious or if he was joking. Clockwork’s face kept the enigmatic smile. Danny then turned to the painting of the first High Monarch of the Infinite Realms.

The painting itself was rather bare and minimalist. A translucent humanoid figure, almost like a featureless mannequin if it were either see through plastic or a jellyfish, wearing a white priestly mantle of sorts. The being has two visible cores, which made it look like a humanoid single celled organism of sorts. The one in its head was the living core while the one in its chest was the ghost core. Above it was the crown in its base non-elemental form, looking like glass or crystal, while on its finger was the ring in the same simple style though glowing white. Danny chuckled to himself at how much it looked like a lantern ring.

“Now Danny, are you prepared for the Coronation ceremony?” he asked after a pause.

Danny groaned.

“Yeah, yeah, everyone’s getting ready for the formalities and ritual.”

“The Council of Observants were adamant in completing it once you had your Knight Protector chosen. The less legitimacy Pariah Dark has, the less likely the more opportunistic realms would try to instigate a rebellion.”

“I still can’t believe the eyeballs are technically the Realms’ ethics and oversight committee.” Danny groaned as he looked around at his lair. It grew a lot when he became the Crowned Prince by right of conquest in single battle.

He watched his parents organizing and decorating with their usual manic glee. Had he known his parents would have been mostly accepting of his half ghost state, it would have saved a lot of stress and trouble. Tucker was working on the tech side while Sam was focused on the plant decorations. They had to get a bunch of ice plants for the ceremony, to better attune the Crown with his ice core.

Wes Wilson was working with Tucker, focused on the camera work. The aspiring reporter grated on Danny’s nerves when he moved to Amity Park during Danny’s sophomore year, a wannabe Louis Lane of sorts if she was a bit of a conspiracy theorist. He later found out his secret and decided to help keep it secret from his side of the media.

Jazz was talking to Queen Dorothea on the invites, a soon-to-be certified ecto-psychologist, the first in her field. She had her parents and Vlad to thank for, being the subjects of her paper on ecto-OCD. Danny could imagine his sister’s voice, correcting him that it’s some technical psychology jargon and not ‘ecto-OCD’. Danny still can’t believe Vlad and his parents was in a weird love triangle mess of miscommunication for decades, that and dad revealing his bisexual love of Vlad when Danny accidentally outed himself to his parents. Lack of communication runs in the family, it seemed. Though in his dad’s case, it was more of a deeply religious and repressive upbringing, a family of monster hunters and grandfather being a self-proclaimed witch hunter and an ordained minister wasn’t really an environment to come out of the closet. Dad turned out to have turned his love for Vlad into a sort of Achilles and Patroclus relationship in his head. Still, a mess of a love triangle with incompatible orientations.

Vlad, in his ghost form, was inspecting the food selection with Dan, on probationary parole of sorts, and Daniella, still figuring out her own identity so her name tended to shift around, arguing over what food to serve. Danny could hear Dan’s shout of ‘no Nasty Burger’ during the argument. Walker, and Danny still can’t believe the ghost was his mom’s grandfather and a founding member of the GIW which explained the white suit look in all honesty, was there personally to keep an eye on Dan. Though the idea of him wanting to see his granddaughter and using Dan as an excuse for that was a possibility in Danny’s opinion.

A look outside at the training grounds, he saw Val sparring with Jay with Fright Knight acting as a sort of referee. Jay was the newest addition to the group. Fright Knight found him, trained him, and presented him to Danny as a candidate for his Knight Protector and Danny agreed after talking to the kid. He was still reeling with his post-mortem amnesia typical to those who died from violent deaths, Jazz’s words, when he was put through Frighty’s training regime. The kid was a natural at fighting though, and the comments of him being a street kid made Danny’s Obsession to ring with the need to protect the kid.

Danny let himself relax at the balcony, looking up at the stars of the night sky.

Except, the Infinite Realms doesn’t have a night sky full of stars. The ever-present swirl of ectoplasm was a memory of the universe before the formation of the first stars.

The starry night sky then moved, reformed into a familiar figure.

“Nocturn.” Danny said as he realized what was going on.

“Quite a pleasant dream, full of happy memories, my liege.” The ghost of dreams said with a slight bow.

“Ugh… I fell asleep during another council meeting, didn’t I?” Danny said as he rubbed his head.

“Of course. Nothing important was in the meeting so we let you get some needed sleep. Mostly updates on public and ruler opinion among the various realms from the Observants. Though rumors are beginning to spread on the missing Red Knight. A trickle for now but it can become a flood in the long run.”

“So, it’ll be a problem a century or two from now?”

“In the general public, yes. Those who knew of the Red Knight are asking questions, be it their curiosity or their worry.”

“Any news on Fright Knight’s quest then?”

“He is petitioning to go to the living realm to continue his search since his return. A complete formality, of course, if you deny him, he’ll simply use the knightly mentor loophole to go after his former squire he deemed as a traitor. A stain on his knightly honor to redeem.”

Danny sighed.

“I’ll make a list of people he’ll need to avoid then. Better some rules on what he’s going to do than nothing.” Danny said before he woke up.

He yawned as he grabbed the nearest stationeries, listing down as many supers he could think of for Fright Knight to avoid while the Observant was listing out the possible problematic rulers of the nth infinite set of realms should the current situation escalated. At least Danny has the rest of the council supporting him or he would have looked for the next person to give the crown and the three thousand plus years of accumulated paperwork to deal with.

Fright Knight was hoping for his petition to be denied as he looked at the list of names on the parchment he must avoid. Some of the names are whole groups like one called the Justice League, which meant that many cities are made into havens of safety for his former squire should the chase results in him fleeing into them, or Ancients forbid, haunting in one of those cities in the first place. The GIW, along federal buildings and organizations in the US, are also forbidden in his search for the missing Ring of Rage.

But he knew of things his liege likely wasn’t told of before his traitorous squire vanished with the Ring. The Red Knight told him of the flashes of memories he had of his life amongst the living. But the main thing that Fright Knight’s mind latched onto was the symbol the Red Knight placed upon his tabard and chest plate, a symbol he was adamant in keeping if modified to fit proper heraldic design, a robin with wings displayed and expanded in red.

Based on his information search in the Infinite Realms, the city of Gotham has a figure known as Red Robin but the city is under Batman’s protection, one of the people he must avoid in the list.

But an idea came to him and he began to laugh. Names have power. Names are masks. Fright Knight was told to avoid Batman, then the answer was simple. All he needed was some preparation and calling in some favors.

Jason Todd was destressing at one of those legal property damage places in Los Angeles. We went for a vacation then relatively recent events made him stay in LA for a longer vacation than planned. Honestly, he blamed the dark horse that was Trump winning the Republican candidacy against Lex Luthor. He doubted the Joker reforming and becoming Gotham’s legitimately elected socialist mayor and fixing things in the city would have happened under a Clinton or Luthor presidency. He hoped the Biden presidency would have made the Joker return to his old ways but the current political circus among the Republicans meant that the Joker doing a responsible job as progressive mayor was part of the punchline he’s going with. The thought of the Joker going scot-free with everything he did was fueling Jason’s pit rage at the injustice, at the unfairness, of it all.

Hence, redirecting it on smashing up trash and junk with a baseball bat.

Of course, Bruce had to go on a deep end and caused a zombie apocalypse trying to bring back his dead parents with glowing green plant goop that may as well be Lazarus water.

Jason smashed some fine chinaware at the thought with some extra smashes.

Bruce then allowed himself to be arrested, supporting rule of law or whatever, and ultimately had to reveal that he and Waynetech were secretly supporting the Justice League financially. The Joker had to publicly defend Bruce Wayne and Waynetech against the resulting right-wing vitriol while also making a comment about the rich and powerful not being trusted even with legal avenues to support the Justice League.

Jason stomped on a now broken microwave in rage. Enough that his foot went through the thing.

He blinked in shock at that as his foot should have been hurting from that but not a pinch of pain at all, even when he slowly raised his foot out.

He shook his head, putting it up on adrenaline, and left early.

On the way back to the hotel, a suddenly feeling of dread struck him, as if it were the distant ringing of church bells marking his funeral. In the cab, he found himself looking west, towards Gotham. Something wasn’t right and he needed to return. So, he packed up his stuff and ordered a ticket to Gotham, pit rage be damned.

On the way to the airport, he bumped to a strange kid. A rather lanky guy, young adult by the looks of him, wearing a yellow cardigan. The kid was giving off strong nervous energy as he kept on apologizing while picking up the fallen brochures for a pizza place yet somehow, despite it all, he was important to Jason. Which raised red flags in Jason’s head since he never met the kid in his life.

“Thanks. Vicky would have killed me if I lost all these.” The guy said with a nervous chuckle. “The name’s Oz, by the way. Ozymandias Phobius.”

Jason just grunted as Oz went to pat out the dust and dirt from his traveling bag.

“Stay safe by the way.” Oz whispered in a calm yet clear tone. “The knight has misplaced their retribution against you but you are not to blame. Keep the rage safe. Keep the ring safe, Jason.” Oz said as he stood back up. From his position, Jason realized that the guy wasn’t casting a shadow.

“Who the hell are you?”

“Have a safe flight back, Red Knight.” Oz said with a slight grin before a sudden gust of dusty wind made Jason cover his eyes. When the wind faded a second later, the guy was gone.

Jason made a mental note on that before he realized the time and went to the airport. He managed to catch his flight back to Gotham some minutes later.
