Danny Phantom Characters in my style

It's incredible the amount of plot holes in Danny Phantom that are easily fixed if only the plot were a little darker.

Like Tucker's fear of hospitals and doctors from Doctor's Disorders, for example.

To be precise, the fact that Danny had apparently no idea that Tucker goes downright catatonic whenever he passes in front of the nurse's office as a result of his fear of anything medical related but Sam did. Especially since Danny and Tucker have known each other for as long as they've known Sam, if not longer.

If the plot were a little bit darker/more mature and didn't shy away from heavy topics like human mortality or that Danny actually died in the accident and came back to (half) life, this would all have a very simple explanation.

Danny didn't know about Tucker's fear of hospitals because it's a recent thing, while Sam does because she was there when it happened.

In other words, if you ask me, Tucker could have developed his fear after Danny's accident. After spending who knows how long inside a hospital waiting for news of his best friend's recovery, with each passing second spent there being a constant reminder of the possibility that Danny might not make it. Thus, his fear would be a result of anything medical reminding him of those agonising times and of the fear he felt at the idea of losing his best friend forever. And Sam would know about it but not Danny because she was right there by Tucker's side as they both waited while Danny was being treated and remained unaware of the world going on around him.

And just like that, you fix a plot hole, and add layers to the story, the characters and their interpersonal dymanics in one fell swoop.

Thank you for coming to my TED-Talk.

okay but can you imagine—

My little sibling showed me this website, oh my god is it so helpful. So, I made a chart with what I headcanon everyone's heights to be. The website is https://www.heightcomparison.com/ it will save lives

@any-n-everything Here's why i think Sam and Tucker needed some more thorough development. I mean it's not that they were terrible, and I think the majority of my problems with them suffer from the writing and it being a kids show who's primary goal was to teach kids moral lessons. But Sam had several moments where she disregard what Danny wanted and pushed her own agendas no matter how that affected him and Tucker. Such as the gorilla project (yes it was for Danny's grade but the poor kid got no sleep that night and clearly didn't want to be there), or the one that gets me the most is season 2 episode 1 when she wished Danny and her had never met and then instead of trying to solve the problem in any other way (she already knew at this point that it was the wishing ghost attacking) Like going to get help from any of the other ghost hunter or dealing with the ghost herself which she was shown very capable of doing (and we needed more of because honestly that was a cool aspect of her character) she decided to put her friend, who she supposedly cares about, through the most traumatic experience of his life a second time. She killed him, twice. Because she was the one who egged him on to go in the portal the first time despite him warning her about safety issues, and then she just shoved him in the second time. But then the show wants to convince me she likes him romantically. That's crazy. Not to mention the one time with the trucks that Danny and Tucker liked and she wanted him to use his ghost powers to her advantage despite having in several other episodes berated him for doing the same thing. And (last example I promise) in the show finale when he gave up his ghost powers to protect his family and go back to a normal life because he's been struggling with this for so long, she gets upset! (They all do, I'm not excluding Jazz and Tucker from this, this is just my Sam paragraph). She tells him that she feels she lost a friend and that he's wrong to give up superpowers because now he's not unique or special and she wants friends who are unique and special. Like damn, Sam. Low blow. It's like when a friend only wants to hang out with you to play on your x box and when you don't have the x box they disappear and hate you.

As for Tucker, he's not quite as bad and again I think his character just suffers from the Tv-Y7 rating, but there are a few times where he just straight up disrespects Danny. The only two times we're shown that they get in a fight, Tucker completely does a 180 and makes Danny out to be the bad guy. In the episode where he wishes he has ghost powers he just blames Danny for taking the spotlight and showing off how much better he is, when Danny never did any of that (at that point in the show). Even if Tucker felt that way because of jealousy, he was still really rude with how he spoke to Danny and quite literally put a citizen's life in danger just to upstage Danny. He does it again in the one for where he runs against Dash for class president. (I know that in both of these he was under a ghost influence, but all of the problems started before the ghosts got involved, they just enhanced what he was already feeling.) (And I know Danny and Sam weren't listening to him but that's wildly out of character for Danny and I feel the writers just conformed his personality to the plot to teach the listen to your friends narrative) but he also took that scepter willingly from the mummy ghost. He has like a weird superiority complex that he takes out on people at the most random times. Then in the episode with Nocturne, his best dream is him being all rich and making Danny his janitor! That's not how you think of your best friend! That shows just how much better he thinks he is compared to Danny. Then in the episode where the G.I.W. buys Danny's house and Danny is freaking out, Tucker is like hey man, you have a lot of money now, act like it and enjoy it and calm down. Then gets mad at him when he acts like it and enjoys it! And also he did the same thing as Sam in the finale.

Sorry for the chaotic jumbled mess of thoughts, I have more to say I just can't remember any more specific examples off the top of my head at the moment. But again, he could have worse, I just think they also deserve their own growing and learning moments.

This video is coming around soon! Can't wait to show you the final paintings!

Danny Phantom Project Sneak Peek!

I finished my little project! Can't wait to show you guys!

I'm turning it into a YouTube video for later in the year, so I won't be telling you much about it until then.

In the meantime, here are some peeks at the artwork I made for it!

I really liked @whitehairglowinggreeneyedcrush 's tags on this post and felt compelled to draw the trio watching a movie together cuz of it <3

NO DANNY! DON'T GO ON AN EXPERIMENTAL SUBMARINE TO SEE THE TITANIC!!!

Did anyone else watch that show about 3 ghost hunters and their dog? I think one of them dies....

Sam Manson would make Danny and Tucker sign up for Dracula Daily so they could have a mini book club

DP X DC PROMT: ATLANTIS

Maddie and Jack did not react well to Danny being a ghost. They immediately attempted to catch him and experiment on him.

Jazz had enough time to throw a duffle bag of clothes and stuff at him and tell him to run. Danny rushed over to Sam's house, and she called Tucker, who came rushing over in a hurry. They added some money and tech to the duffle, before the Fenton parents came knocking at the door to Sam's house, inquiring as to their son's whereabouts.

Danny went ghost and jumped out the window.

He travels for days, aimlessly stopping in several cities, such as Gotham, Metropolis, and Star City. In all of them, though, the Fentons manage to track him down through ecto-location tech.

Danny has been in his ghost form for days now, and hasn't had access to enough ectoplasm to keep him fully solid, so he has essentially vaporized his legs into a tail to conserve energy.

He also has not slept in far longer than is advisable, so his sleep-deprived brain decides "fuck it, I look like a mermaid, why not try to live in the ocean? It's not like my parents can get to me there."

Aquaman is extremely concerned about the new, apparently super-powerful, mer that has appeared recently near the outskirts of his kingdom.

Tucker gets Recognized

So! This is using the Egyptian version of Hawkman and Hawkgirls past, cause that's the only way this works

The basic idea is Hawkman and Hawkgirl used to live in Egypt in high positions of Power. Hawkman used to be the Prince, and Hawkgirl used to be the High Priestess. They died one day and became cursed to forever reincarnate.

Ok, onto the prompt.

So, Hawkman is one day flying over the Midwest USA while lost in thought. He gets hungry and decides to set down in a small-ish town called Amity Park.

He goes to a nearby Burger Restaurant, and while he is waiting for his food he sees someone else pick up their food and walk out the door.

And one thought passes through his mind.

"Is that my fvcking Dad?!"

Yeah, Duulaman was Hawkman's Dad in his first life. He just never knew that his Dad was also a Reincarnator (he had the power before even his son, he just never told him).

Tucker, who has Duulamans powers but not his memories (by choice), has no idea why this Guy with Wings keeps following him around.

Wait, did that guy just call him Duulaman?! Oh Hell No!

Danny Phantom ~ Fluffy Bunny Spam

2015 Sept: *frustrated about this drawing(because I drew it using mouse & didn’t have drawing tablet) & posting delayed until finally knew how to make the bunnies not looked creepy*

2016 Jan: *totally fixed this using drawing tablet and eventually felt ‘OK’ to post this.*

I’m pretty vacant this week, so I drew one more Animal Crossing AU but for Danny Phantom. Though they’re all just cats just because I’m a cat person 🌱🐈

Back at it again with the dp x dc prompt

(If u want to do something with it, feel free)

So this is set a looooooong time after the show. Sam and Tucker r now ghost (they do look like teenagers but wether that’s bc that’s how they want to look or if they died young is up to u) and while Danny is still a halfa he spends more time dead than alive these days since everyone he cares about is long dead.

Anyway, after several centuries they finally manage to get through the mountain of back logged paper work from pariah’s time as king (and yes, technically Danny, as the king, was the only one who had to do that but he guilt tripped the others into helping) and they decided they deserved a vacation!

More than that they deserve to have fun!

So they come up with a bet,

All three of them would each choose a villain to be the sidekick of. Which villain they choose is up to them but it has to be in the same city. The goal? Get ur boss arrested without blowing ur cover!!

The rules:

The villain can not suspect ur working against them

The Heroes can not suspect ur helping them

Avoid civilian casualties as much as possible (their morals r a bit skewed after being dead for centuries but they would like to avoid a pissed off ghost is they can)

Ur time start as soon as they split to find their new bosses and ends so soon as the villain is caught.

U r allowed to escape from jail/police custody/the heroes if ur boss isn’t caught yet

Once the villain is caught u have to hand urself in and wait for everyone else to be done

The first person to get their boss caught get bragging rights

The last person to get their boss caught has to explain any time line fuck ups they might have caused by doing this to clockwork

With the rules set they just have to find the right city and hey would u look at that, there’s a mass brake out in Arkham right now. Gotham is really the best place for the game bc not only does it have a lot of villains it also has a lot of heroes so it’s more even since they will all have at least one hero gunning for their boss at all times.

Starting the clock the three set off. Sam, immediately, chooses Poison Ivy, for obvious reasons. Tucker chooses Riddler, he knows tech to well it would be easy for him to sabotage any death traps without it looking like sabotage. Danny on the other hand is torn. He was originally thinking to go with Dr Freeze bc ice core but he kinda sympathises with the guy. He just trying to save his wife and as a protector spirit, he can respect that and would feel awful to sabotage him. He than thinks maybe two face because he is also a guy with two faces but comes across a similar problem of sympathising with the guy (again, morals have been skewed after being dead for so long)

But there is one villain he has no sympathy for. One villain that isn’t just no matter ur morals and to boot, his whole shtick is something Danny hates with a burning passion.

That’s right, Danny picks Joker.

With bosses picked and sidekick roles achieved. The game is on!!!

Later that night sees shenanigans a penalty, a couple jail brakes on Danny’s parts (Joker stops thinking it’s funny after seeing his incompetant new sidekick cheerily runs up to him after the third jail brake) and the bats slowly loading their fucking minds wondering who the hell these kids r, where they came from and how tf does the Joker kid keep escaping????

🦌🐍🐦

Half-n-Half

One Halloween, Danny dresses up as a carton of half-n-half for his costume. Literally everyone in town is baffled by this except Sam and Tucker, who only increase the confusion when they react by laughing super hard. Sam is hunched over and holding her stomach and the only thing keeping Tucker from falling to the ground is the fact that he’s leaning on Sam. Danny just has the widest grin on his face as he shoots the two of them finger guns.

At fiber arts class today I have finally finished my four piece plushie set of Danny Phantom characters but as sheet ghosts

( I went to work right after school so this is post is coming in real late)

A month and a half of hard work later. This is how the blerblos turned out. hope you all like them!!

Also video for the half ponytail thing Sam has.

DP X DC Soulmates

Okay, so this was actually inspired by a fic that I read on AO3 already, but a bit different. What if everyone had threads of fate tied to their pinkies that appear whenever they are near their soulmates? What if that thread ended up being the key to saving someone's life? Getting into it: Danny has just been discovered by his parents and, depending on how it's seen, he either gets supported by them but has to run from the GIW or he's hated by them because they see it as Phantom has killed their baby boy and he gets captured, vivisected, all the magic that happens in that future. Jazz, Sam, and Tucker are the ones who save him and manage to get him out of Amity Park while they get rid of the portal. In this prompt, its the torture route and I say he has the Ring of Rage and the Crown of Fire, or in Danny's case, Ring of Peace and Crown of Ice, because that's how I see them being with him, but just as powerful, so he can make his own portals. Danny flees to Gotham after making an order for all ghosts to stay the hell out of Amity because now his parents and GIW are on the prowl for him and other ghosts no matter how much he protests that he's still half human. He ends up in Gotham, bleeding and tired, and his soulmate thread appears as he's passing over one of the buildings and he follows it, descending quite rapidly from losing consciousness. All he sees and hears as he approaches is this;

Red Robin: *Just lost comms from Danny's presence messing with their technology and searching for his siblings* *sighs* "I hate that they got this into my head, but...RED ROBIN" Danny: *Descending into Red Robin's arms, earning a startled yelp from the vigilante as he giggles drunkenly from the pain and exhaustion* "Yum" *he mutters before passing out* Batfam: "YUM" *as various grappling hooks pull them to Red Robin's location* Red Robin: "Wtf"

-Everlasting Trio-

There is one collective braincell between the three of them and Sam got the custody of it 90% of the time.

Ramblings abt my favorite Ghost

But dudes, Danny.

I am a sucker for characters that are goofy and silly and juuuust angsty enough to break my heart and I think its hilarious when this absolute hopeless romantic grows up to be a fucking ladykiller.

Like, 12 year old Danny being nice and wholesome, talking about how pretty girls were and giving them flowers (the girls just laugh at him) and 15 year old Danny realizing hes bi and openly admitting that he finds his male classmates hot sometimes (this got him bullied) and it doesnt help that hes this dorky, snarky, kinda gloomy loser. And hes kinda unnerving so nobody really likes him.

Highschool passes by mostly uneventfully. Sure, ghosts attack and whatnot but something happened in junior year that put a massive power rift between Phantom and his rogues (rumors of Phantom overthrowing the ghost king and taking his place float around. Nobodys sure but Star claims Ember started the rumor and nothings really disproven that so-)

That specific class of Casper high leaves for college. At the time of their graduation party, Danny had grown just a bit taller, and his eyes a bit brighter, but he was still mostly a dork.

Fast forward a few years- the high school is hosting a reunion.

Old friends meet up, some after years and some after a weekend. That one jock became a famous author, and his buddy became a single dad- The weird goth girl and the prettiest girl in the grade are dating now. That one Tech geek has made a program that revolutionized computer engineering.

Its all fun and games, comparing lives and embarrassed apologies because they were all kind of asshole teenagers.

They count heads of their year and find a few people missing (as is to be expected). Danny is among them.

"That's odd," Sam Manson- resident goth- notes.

Kwan blinks, as he's the one who was counting, and asks, "Why?" because it wasn't unusual to skip highschool reunions (especially considering Fenton's experience)

Tucker snickers something incoherent, about getting lost in space. Sam sighs.

"I'll text him?" she asks, to which Tucker shakes his head.

"No I wanna see what he does," Tucker giggles. At Sam's raised eyebrow, he tacks on a hasty, "He has court today"

While Sam gets a look of understanding followed quickly by mischief, everyone else in their general vicinity is very concerned.

"Why's Fenton in court?" Kwan asks, Star nodding beside him, "Did he do something?"

Paulina makes a strangled noise, as if she wants to ask but showing worry might seem somewhat hypocritical of her all things considered. Dash raises an eyebrow and his lips thin in worry but he doesn't voice anything.

Danny does not show up. He doesn't show up during the official reunion, but Sam claims he and Valerie may show up at the spontaneous after-party (they literally all just pile up into their vehicle of choice and head to the nearest decent bar)

Valerie does, in fact show up— in her Red Huntress suit.

She complains about owning a company and being a Hero alongside it. How she's graying even though she's barely twenty seven, and it sucks. People ask why she's revealing her identity and stuff- she just shrugs and says, "Its kinda pointless now, dontcha think? I mean-" then gestures vaguely with her ecto-blaster. All the girls around her nod solemnly and the guys mutter and question if this is some kind of inside joke.

(it is. Im not gonna tell you what. Cuz idk. I wasnt in the know, sadly)

Anuways, the only other thing of note is that resident heRO THE AMITY PARK PHANTOM SHOWED UP. YO WHAT THE FU-

When asked what he was doing here, Phantom blinked real slow, looked at his hands and went, "Oh."

(it is worth noting that ghosts dont age. No matter how old they get. Phantom is no different, he's always been, is, and will be, Amity's Fourteen year old protector)

He looked over the heads of the crowd, saw his two best friends snickering to eachother like the assholes they are, and thought, "Fuck It™."

This is the story of how Danny's class found out that the same dork who rambled about space in grade school is now the Ruler of the Indefinite Multiverse.

(I should mention that Danny is like, really Pretty. And I do mean pretty.

His hair seems weightless and soft even in human form and his blue eyes too bright to be real, constantly crinkled at the edges with a sharp smirk or silly grin. He has light freckles that look like a smattering of stars on his skin and his teeth are just a little too sharp. His voice is usually bright and kind of high pitched but his real voice is like a deep tremor that isnt quite human anymore- it sounds like glaciers breaking and Space humming and the Thousand murmurings of his subjects. Hes gotten taller and more fae-like and hes just- !!!!!

I am so normal about him can you tell?)

It’s time for the first person to introduce or should I say BangBoo!!!!

Name: Fentboo

Work: FentonWorkes

Mission: protect the household and protect Jazz and Danny at all costs. (this mission started when Jazz was 10 and Danny was 8)

Status Job: The Fentboo is supposed to find ethereal and leading the team to them, giving them a chance to destroyed all ethereal. Then leads the team out of the hollow…(Jack miss up the carrot installation it’s badly corrupted).

But…the Fentboo failed many times so now it’s stay at home helping Jazz and Danny to fight off food that comes alive by whacking it with the Fentons works mallet. (It’s a regular mallet with the Fenton sticker on it).

Cool info: Sam gives the Fentboo the spike bracelet, but it was too big so she put it on the right ear. Tucker reprogrammed the Fentboo so it doesn’t see Danny as a threat, now every time he visits Fentboo follows him around (Fentboo see him as family member). Sam colors the right ear purple (she was stop halfway by trying to make him look goth, he gets to keep the skull sticker tho). Jazz order a custom-made sticker of her teddy bear. She put it on the on his little jacket he loves it. (Danny secretly cuddles Fentboo when he’s stressed until he’s asleep. Jazz has many photos of them) the Fentboo loves there’s cuddles days. Danny helped Fentboo many times during battles and gave him quick hugs before entering the battle again.

Fentboo is a great worker when it at home but on field it doesn’t work well, Tucker is working on that. He hate Jack so much for corrupting the carrot. The Fentboo is always there to help family and friends and good at completing tasks when asked..

( Little dude hates the popular kids at school. Especially Dash, Dash throw him in the trash all the time. So now thanks to Tucker, Fentboo can now attack Dash with the mallet if Dash touches Fentboo again).

Sometimes Fentboo follows Danny and Jazz to school and waits for them to get out. Jack and Maddie lets it because it’s cute and does protect them (don’t worry they make sure there fully charged when there out). Best investment they ever made and best employee ever loved.

Guys… what about #ZZZ and #Dannyphantom #au

Like except Danny didn’t turn to go ghost bUT he turned into a half Hollow sentient being. Team phantom becomes a proxy.

And Fenton works, becomes hollow scientist that research hollow beings. And hate proxy’s and what to know why people become hollow creatures.

Whoever is playing Zenless zone zero you know what I’m talking about?

Like I have story’s now..

Who wants in on this?

DPxDC Presumed Aliens Prompt

Imagine if the the Phamily fall through a portal to another world. Honestly nothing new there, and at least they're in the specter speeder. The specter speeder that has maybe crashed, but it wasn't their fault they swear! Not their fault if it got attacked, right? And maybe they're somehow kids now, but they can blame that on Clockwork right? Right. Definitely his fault. They weren't messing around with things in his Haunt and definitely didn't mess with things they shouldn't have. But really it wasn't their fault. Really. So maybe they're stuck in another world, stuck as kids, and someone has managed to open the half crushed speeder, but that would normally be fine. Honestly wouldn't be surprising with how their lives are. The thing is, they're all... akin to lil baby ghosts in shape, and their world's human language evolved differently to this worlds. What do you mean the heroes in this world think they're baby aliens???

What kind of creatures of Sonaria would the Danny Phantom characters be? (Part 3)

It's Tucker Foley turn's.

There was only one option for Tucker.

Dowatt (Diet: Carnivore; Type: Glider; Tier: 2 (Small))

"Dowatt are small, artificially created beings that originate from a far away planet. Their main mission in the Orb is the surveillance and analysis of the environment. Dowatt are not organic in nature, instead being a mix of synthetic muscles, an intricate computer system and electric circuits working as nerves. Dangerously high levels of voltage flow through their wires, forming a defensive mechanism against predators."

In my opinion, although Tucker only has one variant of the creature, but he is very accurate.

Wes's Mom Name?

Hey, question for the Phandom, Does Wes Weston's mother have a officially name? Because I only know that Wes's dad name is Walter. If she does not lets name her. This is for a fanfic I'm writing.

Danny Phantom has an electric core… that is all.
