a topic that i think could stand to be explored more in the henry danger fandom is how each of the kids felt about graduating. henry and piper are obvious standouts:

piper graduated high school at 14 and like, that's got to be difficult. it's difficult for me to be just a few years younger than my peers at uni, i can't believe piper doesn't have at least a few difficult nights where she realises just how fast everything's going and how quickly she's growing up. piper is awesome and incredibly capable and i love her but she's still a 14 year old girl who is basically leading an adult life

and henry, in his mind he was basically still a 17 year old high school junior and then suddenly he's an adult high school dropout (hope that's the right term?) and his friends are leaving and he has to figure out what to do. we saw some of that difficulty in the beginning of the end but there was definitely more. i think exploring the way henry and piper could deal with their difficulties with this change together could be very interesting and fun

i'm less certain about jasper and charlotte because the situation just isn't as extraordinary for them as it is for henry and piper. with the seemingly fairly popular headcanon of autistic jasper i think it's plausible that he has some (or a lot of) difficulty with a big change like this, but considering that his life in swellview apart from henry and charlotte does not seem great it's also highly plausible that he's happy to get away from that. so yeah i'm not sure, maybe he's just having a lot of conflicting feelings

i'm even less sure about how charlotte would feel about the change because there is like zero indication of what her life in swellview outside the man cave and her friendship with henry and jasper is like and how the change could affect her. she seems to me to be the kind of person who has everything in order and is genuinely ready for her gap year and all the changes that come with it, but that's exactly why it could be interesting to explore her a little further - what's going on underneath the surface of a smart, capable young woman?

i think that to understand these characters it's important to keep in mind that they aren't just crime-fighting best friends - they're young adults (and in piper's case a young teen) who have to go through the process of becoming adults and all of its difficulties. they're just like any other 18 year olds in some ways

so yeah what do you guys think about all this?

You're good. You use it just like we are.

So glad you like my writing! I love being in this fandom, writing for it, and talking about it!

I post on ao3 here. Under csulliven, currently all of my Henry Danger fics are connected in a series called The Adventures of Dystopia. I have 5 published with 1 wip (about Piper graduating college). But I have 13 works planned for the series so far. I have spent a lot of time brainstorming for the fics, so I have a lot of ideas on character dynamics and plot details for stuff the show doesn't explicitly say

Ok, I'm glad you said this, because I am actively working on a fic about exactly this. Specifically Piper in college. I had never thought about it, until @bisexually-finger-guns mentioned the idea, but now I'm really excited for the fic. Because I was Piper's age in college, I understand a lot of the difficulties and challenges that brings.

Henry's I think is a lot slower of a process. There were the initial feelings (anger, fear, hurt) when he found out. Probably isolation too, because his friends are graduating. Are leaving. Ray and Henry have the same fear of being left.

I think Ray has a 'highschool diploma' I think it's one where homeschool is done wrong so it doesn't mean more than being a piece of paper.

But I think Henry is able to process it/ignore it when in Dystopia. High crime areas tend to have lower education rates, so in Dystopia he doesn't stand out. It's not unusual for someone to have not graduated high school, and no one knows his background.

Then he moves to Newtown. Missy doesn't realize at first why she couldn't find a senior photo for him. Or thinks he missed the graduation to fight crime. He gets settled in Newtown, but every time someone finds out he gets disgusted or pitying looks. Then there's Missy, who is so incredibly smart. Smart enough to give Charlotte a run for her money. And she looks up to him. So he decides to get his GED, so he can set a better example and hopefully show he how important school is. So she doesn't ignore it the same way he did

I may be late to the party, but I think Captain Man's suit is densitized. Is Henry's too? Because that would be a lot of protection for him. Is the bear proof suit also densitized? I have so many questions

[junknstufffiles]

henry danger the movie spoilers + criticism for a plot hole that i think i have perceived?

im just now rlly thinking abt the logistics of the RAD and how they explained it. if missy wrote jasper and piper into her stories too, why did the device only retrieve henry? shouldn't it have taken them too? not just left them in dystopia and made new versions of them within the stories?

it's not like henry was touching the RAD when it first took him or anything. absolutely nothing was different abt his situation vs theirs in relation to the RAD, right?

ik i said "plot hole" but i don't believe in plot holes personally i believe in filling in the plot holes. so im gonna think abt how the RAD might work where it only took henry. maybe it's able to evaluate who's a main character in the story and it only takes them. Or maybe just like... main protagonists. bc vampiper would be a main character in her story, just a main antagonist- WAIT NO bc Captain Stache would ALSO be a main protagonist so it should have taken jasper if that was the case.

i'm gonna think more on this. how can i explain this plot hole for myself. any suggestions?

[junknstufffiles]

What if he were to accidentally start fighting Henry in his sleep? Has that happened before? How does he know who to fight? How does he not just fight the nearest person? HOW IS HE AWARE ENOUGH TO FIGHT THE RIGHT PERSON? CAN HE EVER SLEEP NORMALLY? THIS CANT BE GOOD FOR HIM IN THE LONG RUN! HE PROBABLY WAKES UP IN PAIN BECAUSE HES BEING LIKE KICKED AND PUNCHED IN HIS SLEEP!

You’ll never guess what show I’m rewatching

Based on that one Nightwing cover

Ok, I love this, but can I propose

Missy doesn't like Captain Man at first because he's old (in comparison), but also because she low-key blames him for Kid Danger's death. So it's not until she becomes Henry's sidekick and hears how he talks about and with Captain Man that she changes her mind. And does eventually adore him?

the question of how henry, missy and ray (why do they all have names that end with a y?) would navigate their dynamic after whatever the movie set up for happens is sooo interesting to think about. but i haven't really actually done so before so i'm just going to be saying things now that i might disagree with at a later time

lowkey i feel like considering how awful ray 100% feels after the ways in which he failed henry during hd he would get very protective over missy, because like with the df kids, he knows now exactly what can go wrong and what can happen if you fuck up as mentor. so he'd kind of maybe be micromanaging henry as a mentor for missy, in part because he wants to spare henry the pain of realising in a year or five that he has failed the little girl he watched grew up (like ray did). obviously this would create some tension and i'm not at all sure about how plausible it is because i also feel like during df ray learned some lessons about trusting your loved ones and stuff but maybe henry taking in an aspiring hero would give him enough deja vu to make the protective instincts kick in

now that i'm on the subject of ray and missy, i wonder if ray would actually like her. i do because she's great, but she also literally calls herself superfan. and she like. tried to bring henry back from the dead. and i believe she literally has pillows with henry's face on them. i think she would qualify as a "clinger", like jasper, and ray wasn't very positive about him. but then again he mentioned being upset about jasper leaving in the same breath as charlotte and henry so he probably has grown fond of jasper, maybe that'll make him appreciate missy's antics more. and ray really has grown a lot since he first met jasper, i choose to believe that he is more open for weird enthusiastic little kids now. also he can see how much henry has already taken to her and how much she idolises him and i think that would make ray immediately a little fonder of her just because of how much she and henry already mean to each other (obviously henry and jasper meant a lot to each other as well but when ray first met jasper he'd literally just met henry and now he's known henry for 11 years so it seems to me he'd care much more about the people that are important to henry). so that's resolved then, my verdict is that ray would grow fond of missy very quickly (as he should)

to get back to the henry & ray tension, i really think that could have some potential. henry has learned from ray's mistakes (and in my mind he also has charlotte and jasper to support him, even if just over the phone or something) and he feels confident he can give missy the sidekick life he wanted (which just. kljfdslkjsfd. is such a parallel to how ray felt about henry. i elaborated on this in the end notes for the fic i posted like yesterday? day before yesterday? but basically i think that ray wanted to give henry the superhero life he never got because yk, irresponsible scientist dad and all. so dear god the parallel is killing me) but ray is still panicky because even if you feel confident things can still go wrong! you can still fuck up! even though it ended up pretty good with the df kids (afaik being superheroes gave none of them issues the way it did henry) missy isn't them, maybe it'll affect her negatively no matter how hard henry tries. so imagine henry telling ray that missy is basically his sidekick now and he goes "WHAT" and henry's like "what" and ray is like "i made the mistake of having a superpowerless little kid as my sidekick when i hired you, i'm not letting you make that mistake too" and henry is like "yeah but i know how it works now and she's so excited". i really think this could cause some real conflict where both sides are highly understandable, because henry would totally do his very best to make things work out for missy and he would actually do a better job than ray. so yeah. this is interesting to me

to talk about something lighter: missy would absolutely worship ray. because he's captain man obviously, but also because she loves kid danger even more and ray can answer all her questions about him. and ray would absolutely love answering all of them, especially the embarrassing ones. i can just see in my head them in whatever secret hideout schwoz has made and missy firing questions at ray and him answering all of them quickly and gleefully and henry with his head in his hands wanting the earth to swallow him whole (and then jasper kisses him and he feels better <3). i love this scenario

and what about the characters we haven't seen missy interact with at all??? so that's charlotte and piper (i know charlotte wasn't in the movie but she is still important to me. also not counting vampiper for what i assume to be obvious reasons). i think charlotte would be so fond of her in like a "this is an adorable kid" way and piper would also like her but like. differently. i can't express it. like charlotte would go "aww" at something missy does and piper would go "HELL YES". i need to see them interact with missy so bad you have no idea

they could SO have a weekly fanfic night where missy tells them about a new apocalyptic scenario she's concocted and everyone (jasper and charlotte and piper are also there. because i say so) gives their opinions and they could all help missy create the perfect story. that would be sweet

i feel like this is all i've got rn. also feel like there is more in my head than this but i'm sure i'll post about that some other time. mostly i am really interested in the ways missy being henry's sidekick could affect his relationship with ray and the way their different outlooks on how to do it could conflict (tbh i'm very very surprised henry decided to let her be his sidekick at all. i would not think he would ever want to do that to another kid. presumably he's still making her go to school and everything which is better but still it felt pretty weird to me that after all he went through he'd just do that. it's probably just because the plot needed him to but still. i would like to know what was going in inside his head during all of the last like 10min of the movie. i've lost my point here i fear but i hope you sort of get what i'm trying to say)

[junknstufffiles]

What are your thoughts about Ray?

I think Ray, despite his brovo and the show he puts on for everyone, including himself, is just the way he masks his insecurities.

That's heavily hinted at in the show, and as a character, he's written so well, but nickelodeon lacks the ability to execute his character development and angst to the fullest potential making him appear shallow rather then deeply depressed.

I think there's also a deep internalized emptiness he tries to fill. He's been training his whole childhood to be this one thing, and he's it. He became the hero he was supposed to be, so why does he feel like such a failure- Why is it not enough?

The only thing that shuts up the nagging insecurities is his own voice of praise and the attention of others. He'll constantly consume them as if they could fill the hole inside his soul.

So, oftentimes, he projects this twisted toxic masculinity that delutes in his decisions. Which, when matched with his messed up sense of morality, can be reckless.

He's been indestructible since he was eight, he's lost that primal sense of danger, and he has to manually remind himself of every risk.

This is why I think he unintentionally puts Henry in danger sometimes. Ray probably hates himself for it every time he sees his sidekick narrowly escape a trap he fails to see, or feels a sinking guilt every time he watches Henry bleed in a way Ray can't.

It happens more often than he'd like, but everytime he's filled with that gnawing dread, that sinking reminder that he's more like his irresponsible scientist dad than he'd like to be.

This time, he's the one hurting a kid for the sake of heroism... but Ray can't let him go, or his dorky friends. They're the closest he's ever felt to having a family. Being with them heals something inside, something he didn't know was broken.

I created a playlist for songs I wanted to use in Henry Danger edits. YouTube autogenerated similar playlists. I think the algorithm worked with this one

I love this so much! Definitely one of my favorites!!

People get way too bent out of shape when I say Ray Manchester is not a bad person. But he’s not. He’s lonely and horribly misguided in a world he can’t understand. Death is an anomaly to him. That probably changes a person’s brain chemistry in ways we can only imagine.

Henry Danger Fanart!!

"act before thinking"

[junknstufffiles]

Henry danger is actually is so dark for a kids show, the only reason nobody knows is because the dark topics are hidden through comedy.

And... Henry's weird love life...
