inevitable conclusion to a show with a premise that is so viscerally horrifying. It's the kid's show version of "Not a Deer that gained access to a secure facility with a safety vest and and a clipboard"

Love that while online fandom in general is having a weird meltdown about the morality of enjoying anything darker than sanitized fluff in fiction, the Danny Phantom fandom is still sitting in the corner 16 years after the show ended with a blankie and cocoa and their 10,000th deep-fanon supertorture cannibalism vivisection psychological horror fic

#while fluff does exist in the phandom #the sheer dissonance of “kid's show vibes” vs “visceral horror”#leaves unfilled a huge swath of the phandom ecosystem #law of nature: whatever the source material is lacking in will be energetically supplied by the fandom #the horror is also just so pervasive in the show. so many things are just so chilling #I'd bet good money that DP is like Miraculous Ladybug - the creators pitched an adult show #then Corporate Network Bullshit forces them to repackage it as a kid's show #anyway #the world building is also really interesting and leaves a lot of points to branch off of #phandom #dp #a little bit too old for this but it has the spirit:#streaming wars #fandom culture
