King Phantoms monthly princess parties!

I saw fanart by @scrombit and now I wanna have Danny host princess tea parties at the keep for young ghosts.

Like, one day he’s walking though the keep, talking to Fright Knight about something or another and notices a young ghost hiding behind a pillar.

He sneaks up behind her and surprises her.

He says something along the lines of “and who is this little princess that has wandered into my lair?”

One of the maids runs up to grab her but Danny waves her away. He then asks the young ghost to tea “because you can’t have a proper tea party without a princess”

After awhile the ghost parents rush in trying not to offend the ghost king and he waves them off, being sure to invite the little ghost back anytime for more tea.

Next time she shows up she has a friend. Every time she comes she brings more little girls and boys to their tea parties.

It gets to the point that Fright Knight has barred any guests from interrupting their monthly tea party.

I really wanna incorporate this into one of my fics or make a one shot where someone is trying to summon the ghost king and he pops into existence in full regalia but wearing a princess crown and half his claws are painted pink and green.

What if Y/N had the power to control the weather via her emotions like Pepa Madrigal from Encanto?

My wife (Y/n) Her mood affects the weather. When she's unhappy, well, the temperature gets weird-Sun Wukong 😅

(Lmk Wukong) Your powers admittedly impressed and terrifie him, but other then that you were very beautiful even with your gift. Wukong finds it unique how you can make a storm or bring out the son, at anytime depending on how you feel. It's a wonderful thing to explore with you and he would admittedly have many questions about you and your power especially when it's from a pretty female monkey😚.

(MKR Wukong) Oh boi, you're both a perfect match for him. Your temper can be just as devastating as his. what Wukong didn't expect was for you to be damaging on an environmental level. Though Wukong loves your powers especially in that hurricane you caused, in a battle. Wukong would forever be under your spell watching you level battlefields in a fit of rage😡.

(HIB Wukong) He would help you with your powers to the best of his abilities, he's knows how it feels to force yourself to be in control hence the clear skies montra. Wukong wouldn't admit it at first but he's interested in your abilities, and you should know Luier is very into it with the endless questions he's got. In other news silly girl is a really big help on keeping you calm and happy🥰.

(NR Wukong) Well............This is not something he sees everyday, this gorgeous vixen he's been wooing is actually a storm goddess. Don't think for one second your weather powers are gonna scare this old freaky perv away, he's very curious about everything about you. Wukong finds walking in your rainstorms to be a very romantic activity to do with you, despite him possibly stalking you. Though for some reason the sun shines brighter for you when he comes around to see you😍

(Netflix Wukong) the look on his face when he discovered you, especially when one moment it was sunny and now it was pouring outside. That's when he saw you with a growing rain cloud above your head making his jaw drop completely. Not only were gorgeous but you have complete control over the environment mainly the weather, Wukong just sat their amazed and had a millions and one questions about it, but first calm you down before you make a Flood.

(BMW Wukong) He met you in a hurricane, you know😉. You were having a terrible day, and you were beyond fed up. Wukong immediately had heart eyes and chirps as you were clearly powerful, and your weather was beautiful. Wukong finds it so hot how you can just lay waist to everything, creating a hurricane in your wake. Wukong begs you never to change or bottle it up.....Never.

(Destined one) He's definitely the type to help you with your emotional weather powers. Helping you stay calm, take deep breaths, and drinking tea(just like Félix😊) and even invited you to meditate with him. The Destined one will always love and support you despite your gift, you both can be calm before the storm ☺️

"the apache" was a dance fad that started around the 1910s, predating swing, but that influenced swing's moves, especially the aerial ones, and was meant to aesthetically simulate a physical domestic dispute. the advanced versions were almost indistinguishable from a professional wrestling match. this is one of the most athletic versions i've seen, it was filmed in 1937 so the dance had had time to mature in technique. the feats of strength being performed by the female partner especially are breathtaking (she wins btw)

That means “just shut up and watch as this country breaks apart,” right? In that case… We would not retreat even if it kills us!

Newly released Turbo/King Candy for Disney Lorcana dropped and I am HEAVING

childhood friends danny and jason miscellaneous thoughts: because why not, i'm reworking ch2 because it no longer fits with the remaster of chapter 1 so i've been thinking of them, and i love talking about them. which you should totally go read the remaster because its 26k words and im very proud of it and it barely got any attention.

First off Ellie vapes. Mostly because I think its real fucking funny. The first time Danny finds out about it he gets all up in arms about it. Ellie at first thinks its because she's smoking -- which, helloooo pot meet kettle, Danny has been smoking for a lot longer than she has.

And then he throws a curveball at her and says he's upset specifically because its vaping. Like no, no. Dammit, if you're gonna fuck up your lungs you gotta do it properly, none of this cotton-candy flavored nonsense.

He plays it up for laughs and it's largely non-serious 'i can't believe you're using a vape', if only to hide the fact that he is genuinely displeased with his little sister smoking. Self-destructive behaviors and bad habits are his thing, thank you very much.

But, well, he knows he'd be a hypocrite if he told her he didn't like that she was smoking. He's aware its bad for him, but habits are hard to break and he's not particularly keen to break this one in particular.

Danny bullies her relentlessly about it whenever she vapes in front of him. Like don't be a loser, Elle, carry a carton of cigs and a lighter in your back pocket like the rest of us degenerates.

[more under the cut]

Secondly: Danny's piercings? He got the first lobe piercings as a lost bet from Sam in junior year, and they did it in her room with a needle, a small bottle of blood blossom extract, and an apple. He broke out in hives for a week after thanks to the blood blossom, but it prevented the hole from healing up :)

He got the rest done professionally at a piercing place in the Ghost Zone. He asked Johnny where to find it. Sam and Johnny (and Kitty) nearly convinced him into getting snakebites. He got an eyebrow piercing instead.

Danny's undercut is also self-done, he did it because Technus shot at him with an ectoblast and it missed hitting him, but set his hair on fire. Danny got it out pretty quickly, but it left his hair lopsided and obviously looking like it got burned by something. He went to Sam for help after the fight. He liked the way it looks so he's kept it that way since.

Vlad brought up Jason once(1) in a taunt during a fight, and this was after Jason disappeared from the ghost zone, and Danny very. very nearly killed him on the spot. He hasn't done it since.

Which leads into the other thing: Grief Triggers! As I call them. All Banshees have them in this au.

While all banshees are, in general, in a permanent state of grief, Grief Triggers are a specific emotional response that can cause them to spiral into a state of intense, sometimes debilitating sorrow, and most of the time causes them to start wailing.

Banshees know what their Grief Triggers are and in general tend to try and build up a form of resistance against it so that, if something occurs that happens to trigger said grief, they can at least either get away from other ghosts to let loose or have enough control over themselves that it'll take more work to send them spiraling.

As expected, Jason is Danny's grief trigger. He's built up a pretty good resistance to it so that hey, talking about him and his death is easier than when Danny was fourteen. But a little more prodding and it will trigger, especially depending on who brings him up and how. (See: Vlad)

Grief Triggers also manifest relatively the same; with the induction of an intense state of grief and sorrow, but how a banshee acts on it can sometimes vary. Again, it depends on who triggers it and how. Some of them can get,,, violent, depending on how it happens.

Rath, this au's 'Dan', is a case of a banshee being put into the grief state caused by grief triggers and... never really leaving it. Which they usually do on their own, or with help depending on the severity of it.

At the time it happened Danny was going through the worst week of his life a second time: his best friend's ghost disappeared, then his family and friends all died right in front of him, and then he was stuck with someone who wasn't helping him through that grief.

He was already in the grieving state when Vlad tore out his ghost half. As a result, Vlad only made it worse. With that fury thrown into the mix, Vlad ended up getting torn apart and nobody else was close enough with nor could they get close enough to Rath to help him come down from the wailing state.

So Rath ended up getting stuck in a perpetual negative feedback loop of absolute misery, and well... drove himself insane. The rest of the world became collateral as a result.

-

the difference between Danny and Jason lies in the fact that Jason died, while Danny is dead.

I'm having more thoughts on the CFAU/TMWS universe banshees, actually.

Banshees are either born in the ghost zone from ectoplasm and are ecto-entities and work as banshees as how we know of them, or they're human spirits that died mourning someone and that grief was so intense that it turned them into a banshee. They're a little more rare.

These banshees typically mourn only one person, or sometimes they follow their Realm-born counterparts and choose a family to mourn for. Typically their own.

Ember is not a banshee; human spirit banshees are always mourning another person. However, her abilities emulate certain qualities of banshees: like the beautiful singing. But in comparison to an actual banshee, Ember's voice pales.

Does this mean Danny has the better singing voice? Yeah. Ember is incensed by this.

If canon Danny and CFAU/TMWS Danny met, I think canon Danny would be kinda unsettled or off put by CFAU.

CFAU Danny still has some pretty core Danny traits, at least I like to think so -- his general drive to help people just out of compassion for them (even if it manifests differently at first due to trauma), his wit and humor, his fear of failing to protect his loved ones, all of those resonate with canon Danny.

However, canon Danny, as far as I can remember and as far as his wiki goes, rarely gets extremely angry or emotional. He gets irritated and he gets annoyed but him getting mad I don't think happens super often. CFAU Danny is the angrier one between Jason and Danny. It's one of the things I consider a division point between him and canon Danny as it's a result of him growing up in Crime Alley. Canon Danny is canonically shy and meek prior to becoming Phantom, CFAU Danny couldn't be -- he'd be dead already.

CFAU Danny's anger would off put canon Danny, in my opinion. His anger, his smoking, and for lack of a better term, his bloodlust would unsettle him.

Like, for example, say CFAU Danny gets transported to a canon (or canon-adjacent) Danny's universe. He's staying with canon for a little bit as they brainstorm how to get him back home, and CFAU Danny goes to school with canon if only so that he's not stuck in the house all day.

Whether they try and pass CFAU Danny off as canon's cousin or if the town already knows that he's another version of Danny, it doesn't matter. Because insert Dash.

Dash who, in CFAU Danny's world, has since learned not to fuck around with Danny or the other kids because Danny has long since asserted that he will beat his ass if he does. 'Fucking around' always predates the 'finding out', and Danny is happy to act as consequence.

(As my father told me (paraphrased) when I was a small child and full of uncontrollable anger: "there's gonna be a day where you're gonna hit someone, and they're gonna hit you back")

And canon Dash, who is used to canon Danny who kinda just takes it because it means that he won't target other people, would see CFAU Danny. He'd notice the resemblance between him and canon, immediately try and go "oh new target!", and try and bully him the same way he does to canon. And Danny "I am the consequences of your actions" CFAU Fenton, instantly throws hands.

Just, CFAU Danny is kind but he's also Gotham-raised and full of bite; he's meaner than canon is. He's more ruthless too, especially in his ghost fights. The ease of which he slips into violence would, imo, discomfort canon. CFAU and Canon would eventually get along though, they're not so different that they'd be in constant clash of each other.

(Canon Danny and Danyal Al Ghul however,,, thats another post LMAO)

Why just argue with each other when you can dance AND argue? Two for the price of one!

Everyone thinks they're arguing but in all actuality they've stopped tying to one up each other and are now discussing an incredibly niche topic in Detail because I think they both delight in knowing things not many other people do. Same energy as when two people who've sunk years of education into one field and no one ever knows what they're talking about. They're probably talking about the finer points of the history of puppetry or something and having an absolute ball. Alastor has just mentioned a tidbit about puppets being used in Ancient Egypt in entombment, to come to life as concubines and servants. Lucifer is feeling particularly feral about it.

From most to least, how much do the monkey kings like tire swings?

This

(Lmk Wukong) 11/10 He would love a tire swing bringing out his hidden man child. You set it up for a beach party you and Mk were throwing, and Wukong and the baby monkies had a blast. Not to mention you and Wukong getting to swim and stay cool together, too🥰

(HIB Wukong) 7/10 Pretends to hate the tire swing, but loves to watch you and the kids use it. You made it for Luier and Silly girl to add to the Village playground, and those two found themselves using it one every day. Though, when nobody's around, Wukong would chill and swing in it, but just to heal his inner child.

(MKR Wukong) 5/10 He doesn't like tire swings very much, but he always likes watching you and fruity use it. You had made a tire swing at Flower Fruit Mountain one day, and Wukong, for some reason or another, felt like it was an insult to himself. Though you do look super adorable and childlike whenever you go swinging, Wukong would have to hold back a squeal.

(NR Wukong) 9/10 man you just Encourage him to just join you on the tire swing, I mean the mini monkies already joined you. Even Li and Su joined on swinging and jumping into the water, that's when Wukong finally joined in on the fun in the water. After all he gets to admire his hot adoring wife in your pink polkadot bikini, stealing wet kisses from him😘

(Netflix Wukong) 10/10 that swing is sooo much fun to him, and he would play on it all day of you let him. He's totally shameless with it you would hear his excited voice as Wukong Swings into the air laughing with his eyes closed. You totally healed his inner child with that swing especially when he gets Lin and you to join.

(BMW Wukong) 3/10 No way it feels way to embarrassing for him to be on a tire swing built for small children. Though he has no issues letting you swing on it, along with the monkies and their cubs having fun and jumping into water. Wukong would have a small smile with the way you get along with all his subjects.

(Destined one) 2/10 you'll have the Destined one sigh at the distraction you made for yourself. You laugh and steal as you swing high in the air, totally enjoying your newfound activity. The Destined one, on the other hand, wouldn't be found dead using that thing and decided to just let you play and enjoy it.
