hi! I was curious as to what the context for your most recent A-Listers Danny Phantom art post was about. I was a little confused (even though it looks AMAZING) and was wondering if you could give me your yaps about the context of that scene! :D

So so so sorry for how late this reply is! I've been insanely dead on social media for the past however long. 

Thank you so much! To be honest, I didn't really set anything in stone for what exactly was happening in this scene. My thought process was just wanting to do something angsty about the A-listers since I thought they were kinda underutilized and had a lot of potential in the secret identity/double life aspect of the show (my absolute favorite part of superheroes that I think has unfortunately declined in usage as of late).

There's also something so deliciously juicy about those who worshipped and relied heavily on their protector now having to protect him, and something so cathartic about the bullies having to fear their victim when the power dynamic switches. You can just hear them thinking, "What's going on? Is he possessed/overshadowed? What is he going to do when he finds us?" Maybe even apologizing to him in their heads for every wrong they've ever inflicted on him in the hopes that Danny would take mercy on them.

So yeah, I don't really have an explanation for what's happening. Could be a shapeshifter, or something similar to what Poindexter did, or maybe that dreamcatcher. Maybe its a Corpse AU and some other ghost took over his body while he was out of it. I do think the intrigue is in not knowing exactly what's going on, so you're in the headspace of the characters, so that's what I'll leave you with. I do really like the implication though of this situation absolutely eviscerating Danny's social life and standing after it's all over to the point where people are scared of his human persona now; very angsty.

I do hope to make more A-lister content in the future someday, since I think they're so interesting from the secret identity/double life standpoint. There's just so much content there like, for example, them being weirdly unnerved by these spooky little quirks that the wimp seems to unknowingly exhibit, them finding some things about the ghost boy familiar and yet not being able to put a finger on why, Danny finding out more about his bullies from the perspective of someone whom they are willing to be vulnerable with, etc., all of course underscored by the tension of the "will they won't they" find out.

I thought it’d be fun for Danny to have Starfire’s eyes instead of just his eye color changing to green.

I wanted more A-lister content.

Sometimes, I wish hazmat au was canon, I would be so feral about the astronaut connection.

Can you draw redraw with Danny and Valerie?

Valerie (unsuccessfully) tried to headbutt him into the next afterlife after this.
