"What Haunts in Vegas.........stays in Vegas!"

The hypothetical college trio series includes many hard hitting episodes, including this one where Vlad's in drag and has to seduce a short, sleazy human trafficking ringleader while Jack and Maddie play cards in the casino and distract the bodyguards.

This has been sitting in my drafts forever and I probably won't finish it any time soon (i wanted to adapt most of it into a longer comic) so here's a summary of the ensuing shenanigans and gags:

I love the idea that a series about Jack, Maddie and Vlad would feature a lot of stories about organized crime with a ghostly twist, so this is a reflection of that.

The trio plus Agents K and O set up a trap within a ritzy Vegas casino. Vlad, disguised as the silver vixen bait, is thoroughly incensed by his humiliating role but also ironically looks like enough of an effortless knock-out in a slinky black dress that the ruse seems to work on Petri. (Earlier, Vlad exclaimed to Maddie that only "an idiot" would fall for this disguise, followed immediately by Jack not recognizing him and wondering "who the broad in black is", only proving Vlad's point.)

The height difference between Petri and Vlad is so ridiculous that Vlad (who is wearing high heels) doesn't even initially notice when Petri approaches him to hit on him.

Another silly angle that makes Vlad a comically tailor-made fit for the role of Petri's seducer is the fact that Petri is a wine and cheese snob and prefers his women to be "cultured" in that regard. Vlad can't be out-snobbed on either front, so it nearly turns into a pissing contest of who's enjoyed the more exotic and expensive pairing.

Petri asks the 6'3 silver haired goddess sitting next to him if her hair is naturally silver, and Vlad stays in character to say yes, but it was caused by a great deal of stress brought on by her "oafish buffoon of an ex-husband" which prompts Agents K and O to tell Vlad to stick to the script through Vlad's bugged earring, and Jack in the other earring to express surprise that he didn't know his best buddy was married and why didn't he tell him?!

(A vein pulses in Vlad's temple, but he maintains a nostalgic expression for Petri's sake while he discreetly reaches up and mercilessly crushes his earring between his fingertips with an electronic crunch. Agent O turns to Agent K in the hotel suite they're monitoring the mission from. "Heels destroyed his comm." "...This is the last time we work with civilians.")

At some point, an increasingly smarmy Petri places his hand on Vlad's leg, and an uncomfortable Vlad's instinctive reflex is, unfortunately, to choke him.

While all of this is taking place, Jack and Maddie are playing the tables alongside Petri's lieutenants. The idea is that when Vlad lures Petri to the suite where Agents O & K will apprehend him, they will safely subdue the henchmen.

Vlad does manage to get Petri into the hotel room, but things immediately go off the rails at that point. Agents K and O have been incapacitated off screen, and Petri reveals he suspected that this was all a set up from the beginning, so he took the liberty of removing the dangerous element from the equation. Meanwhile, Jack and Maddie have their hands full as subduing the henchmen goes poorly and it turns out a large portion of the casino customers seem to be currently overshadowed. A massive fight breaks out.

The GIW files assumed that Petri Fyer was a human, but Vlad had clocked almost immediately upon meeting him that he's actually a ghost overshadowing a human being. Petri Fyer is actually Petrifyer, a large, monstrous ghost that resembles a toad. He departs from his human host to confront Vlad. Petrifyer has a paralytic venom that stuns humans and renders them immobile, so he uses it on Vlad and gleefully tries to decide what he should do with all of them.

It becomes apparent that Petrifyer understood that the whole situation was a set up, but he totally missed the fact that Vlad wasn't who he said he was, and since the paralytic venom is only effective on human beings, Vlad manages to break out of the paralysis by forcing a transformation.

Petrifyer vs. Plasmius ensues, there's some back and forth where Petri is 1) shocked he got catfished, 2) shocked he got catfished by the half-ghost billionaire who tried and failed to take over the world during the global meteor incident, and 3) still very into Vlad despite literally everything that is going on. Vlad proceeds to cheerfully beat the stuffing out of him.

Jack and Maddie manage to husband-wife power couple their way through ALL of the ghost-guests, wrecking the casino in the process. By the time they make it to the hotel room for back up, Vlad is standing in the middle of a destroyed suite, red heels in hand, Agents K and O groaning on the floor, and the dastardly ghost/human duo restrained. Vlad shoots his friends a withering glare and tries to wipe his lipstick off with the back of his hand. It just smears.

Petri turns out to be a case of true possession (over shadowing being short-term and possession being long-term). The meek, unconfident, ordinary gas station employee, Patrick Fitz, is consensually allowing the sleazy toad-like ghost Petrifyer to use his body to navigate the human world and make them both rich.

Once in custody, Patrick and Petrifyer attempt to elicit sympathy from Vlad due to their similar positions and affinity for "ghost-human relations." Vlad just sneers at them and says he is so far out of their league in every possible way they might as well be on different planets.

The mission ends, Jack immediately forgets he signed a non-disclosure agreement, and Maddie practices her card game skills. (Afterward, Vlad offers Maddie a much more understanding apology for the way he used to treat her, and thanks her for not killing him at any point during those days.)

Valerie Gray Week 2025

5. Truth

This is pretty much just me pulling a thread through some canon interactions in an attempt to showcase how fucked up this situation is

[hungryghost11]

And this is why you make sure you get a different thermos for a different job

[hungryghost11]

Finally getting some time to draw again! This was supposed to be a warmup drawing but ended up taking me nearly 12 hours to finish it 🤡

Dannymay Day 31: Free Meme Day

Memes but DP

Day 8: lost

When you think you can explore wherever you want, but now the only thing that can bring you home doesn't work.

[hungryghost11]

Title card time babyyyyyy

I did it with credits >:]

Honestly this was a lot of fun to make even though it took me 44 hours :')

Lots of experimentation happened in this one, but it all came out good! Edited my brushes, hand lettered the title, figured out the credits, did a different title card shading style, finally found the tagline font(Whatafont), etc. Plus it was interesting sticking an OC in!

All that aside, this is also a bit of an introduction for another DP OC of mine, Quinn. They're the villain of this fake ep of course. Quinn is 14 and very annoying(spoilers, they’re way lamer than the title card implies lmao). This kid is absolutely obsessed with love and romance, and will do anything to find it. They don’t exactly get that real life isn't like their romance movies though...

The episode itself is set far enough into Vlad's redemption in my AU that he's tolerable, sometimes even fun to be around. The plot has Vlad and Tucker teaming up and ending up as the protagonists who need to deal with Quinn. Cause, I mean, is it really a Vlad ep if he isn’t fighting a 14 year old?

Any questions are welcome!

Absolutely amazing artwork for this fic by the multitalented @mary-mythos, who also happens to be my beta reader! This art commission is of Pandora (the ghost) from Chapter 5 of my fic.

Mary, thanks for "Yes, and"-ing all my wild ideas for reimagining this canon character into an OC! The way her BONES are visible through her ghost-skin still blows my mind!

This was my first-ever experience commissioning artwork, and it was such a delight!

(P.S. Chapter 8 is out now!)

After the events of D-Stabilized, Valerie can't seem to find the courage to face Vlad alone head-on, but she can still disrupt his plans from the inside and a certain ghostboy is more than eager to help! Their secret mission takes the unlikely pair deep into the Ghost Zone. Aside from the lingering distrust between them, things are going relatively well until Danny starts feeling mysteriously ill, leaving it up to Valerie to get them both home safely.

Chapter 6, ”Uncharted Territory" is up now!

[hungryghost11]

YES YES I SEE THE VISION!!

And isn't chatgpt just the lost souls of everything its consumed though... Haunted for sure.

I don’t know if anyone’s made this joke yet

[hungryghost11]

The stop motion LEGO animation that dared to ask: what if Muggle AU, but everyone at Hogwarts was still trying to gaslight Harry into believing magic is real? It would explain so much about the Sorting Hat! lol

I made this back in 2014 while I was in the process of selling my Harry Potter LEGOs, as a way to play with them one last time. Featuring: my younger brother voicing Harry Potter, me as Professor McGonagall, and some of the most American-sounding British accents you've ever heard!

[hungryghost11]

Made fanart for my own fanfic lol

Here's my take on Halfa!Val

(Something something who is she behind the mask something something being your own shadow idk)

Some alt. versions bc I was playing with gradient maps and I can’t pick one

[hungryghost11]

It's a complicated relationship.

[hungryghost11]

Y'all can I suggest a fic prompt that I'm definitely not the first to think of?

Bc ✨️Team Phantom starts a ghost hunting show.✨️

The idea just won't leave me.

Works with any configuration of Team Phantom bc they're all chaotic regardless

[hungryghost11]

Over winter break I banged out 25k words of a Danny Phantom fanfic about Valerie getting cold feet when she tries facing Vlad following learning his secret identity.

Instead of taking down Vlad head on, she teams up with Phantom to mess up Vlad's evil plans from the inside without him suspecting a thing. Their mission takes them deep inside the Ghost Zone. But, when Danny mysteriously falls ill, it's up to Valerie to get them un-lost and home safely. Hijinks ensue. (Also, Valerie is a black belt and keeps wanting to fistfight ghosts, so I usually let her!)

"Ghost Hunter Gone Rogue" Chapter 3 (of 10) is up now!
