2 days ago i ate pancakes (normal sweet pancakes) with sauerkraut and ketchup, does that count? 🦅

next time i eat it i’ll make some of this untea to have with it

I just accidentally made un-tea?????

I made green tea, but I forgot there was an old bag of chai in the kettle, so I mixed chai water with decaf green tea, then I mixed in like a half table spoon or something of that honey from the dollar store that they aren't legally allowed to call honey because there's too much corn syrup in it and some almond milk and a single drop of coffee creamer because we ran out and???? It tastes like??? Nothing????

It has LESS flavor than my tap water! HOW do you EVEN-

I think I made a flavor that's only perceptible to shrimp, that's the only explanation

This would be used in addition to the danny phantom tag, turning it into a true umbrella tag for everything related to Danny Phantom, while having a few major sub-tags for people to find exactly what they want.

---

After some more discussion with members of the fandom in the notes of my poll asking about a community and elsewhere, it seems like the better option for everyone might actually be a new tag, so I'm making a new poll here!

Some answers to questions I think people might have are below the readmore:

Q: Why are all of these only one word?

A: For the same reason the dpxdc tag is only one word! Tumblr's tagging implementation is Not Good. Tags with spaces don't play well with it, and especially don't play well with blocked tags. If someone wants to block non-crossover Danny Phantom content, we want to make it as painless as possible for them.

Q: What issues were raised around communities?

A: A few! To name some of them:

Limited interactions with posts: Communities only let you react with emoji and leave comments on posts reblogged into them. Not great, if we want to have long reblog chains riffing on one another

Original Posters aren't notified if someone else reblogs their post into a community, even if it's public. So if someone reblogged your post into the community for you, you wouldn't know about it -- or know to look for people interacting with it.

Communities have mods, and therefore would need trustworthy, engaged mods to make it work. Over a short time frame, we could probably manage it! But over a longer one, a community for an entire fandom would probably have moderator drama. That could lead to fracturing, or people leaving specifically because they don't like the mods, etc. A tag is a lot less active maintenance.

A few people also expressed a general dislike for the feature, even if they were willing to move to one. This seems like a much smaller change that will let those people stay away from a feature they don't like, while interacting with the content they do.

Q: What about less-common crossovers? Won't those get excluded from this tag?

A: They will. I'm asking about this poll first because I figured getting the community to make a decision about the other crossovers would be easier if we'd already decided on the non-crossovers.

The current idea is to move those to their own tag as well, so they can get dedicated attention from the crossover enthusiasts who love them. One of the people I talked to about this runs the niche-dp-crossovers blog, so it's on the radar. If you have concerns or suggestions about that, the notes on this post is as good a place as any to suggest them!

hi there! do you dislike [crossover that shall not be named, but has flooded the main danny phantom tag] ?

well boy do I have a Most Annoying Fandom poll for you

YEHA YOURE SO RIGHT

Group gutting of Major Monobrow at 7PM EST behind the Lidl, let’s go

Are they aware Cujo is a agent? I mean Major cant exactly erase Danny’s memories because well...he's op

they have no clue <3

and they will have no clue forever because i find it absolutely hilarious if the agent cujo plot is only questionably canon within the cujostody au, like IS it true??? is it just me goofing off as a joke sometimes?? NO ONE KNOWS! ME INCLUDED! IT WILL STAY VAGUE FOREVER!

but lemme be hypothetical for a second because i do believe that danny is NOT immune to memory erasure and push comes to shove if the choice was “get memory erased” vs “lose cujo forever” he would consent to get his mind fucked

valerie would too, not at first obviously (at first she would be glad to get rid of the dog (and it’s not like she would remember him to feel regret later but she would feel a sudden emptiness in her life) but as their relationship grows she can no longer deny that she loves this dog and she would let her mind be fucked too if it meant getting to keep him

actually no wait i change my mind, danny and valerie would just threaten major monobrow and he would pee his pants and hide behind carl and just let them be

Valerie Gray Week 2025

3. Family

One of my favorite things about Damon is, that after he learns Valerie has been out fighting ghosts the first thing he asks is: "Are you okay?" To me that one little line tells so much about his priorities.

[duchi-nesten]

this is kind of messy but that's okay 💫

Danny and Valerie Should’ve Happened.

Here’s Why It Matters.

Danny x Valerie wasn’t just a potential romance it was a missed opportunity to deepen both characters and the show.

Valerie had everything Danny wanted and lost it.

Danny wanted popularity, recognition, visibility.

Valerie had those things…until her life fell apart.

They were mirrors of each other at different points in the arc:

-Valerie had the status, then lost it.

-Danny felt invisible, then gained powers.

And yet, both were haunted by their losses.

Both were trying to find themselves after their lives were shattered by ghost powers.

They were on the same emotional level.

Valerie had to grow up fast. She worked. She struggled. She kept secrets.

Danny was still figuring things out, but he could grow if the writing let him.

Together, they could’ve challenged each other.

Balanced each other.

And found connection in the one thing no one else understood: the weight of a double life.

Their potential romance wasn’t just about love. It was about healing.

Valerie didn’t know Danny was Phantom.

Danny didn’t know how to tell her.

That tension? That secrecy? It wasn’t just drama. It was a setup for growth.

When Valerie meets Dani (Danny’s clone), she shows kindness, protectiveness, acceptance.

That’s how we know she would’ve accepted Danny if she had all the facts.

She didn’t hate him she hated being lied to.

Imagine if they had worked through that.

Imagine a slow-burn friendship into love.

Imagine trust, betrayal, truth, forgiveness.

That would’ve been a story.

Pairing them up would’ve also freed Sam and Tucker to grow beyond Danny.

The Sam x Danny romance flattened both characters.

Tucker became comic relief. Sam became the default love interest.

But if Danny and Valerie had been explored more…

-Sam and Tucker could’ve had their own B-plots, growth arcs, maybe even each other.

-Valerie wouldn’t have existed in isolation.

-Danny would’ve matured through tension, not fanservice.

Danny and Valerie weren’t doomed.

They were interrupted.

By poor writing.

By a rushed end.

By a fear of complexity.

Their story was never about “opposites attract.”

It was about two people dealing with trauma in opposite directions, realizing they’re not alone.

They could’ve been the show's emotional anchor.

But instead, they became a “what if.”

And honestly? That’s a loss.
