Wes ruins everything
Wes had finally done it, he had finally realized why nobody ever belived him about Fenton and Phantom! It made so much sense now, he had been looking for an answer for years, thinking he was going crazy because everybody refused to see the Obvious!
He was Cursed!
He literally had an Ancestoral Curse on his Bloodline that made it so that all those born with the gift of Prophecy would be ignored! A Gift of Prophecy that he apparently had.
It was Cassandra's Curse, the one from Greek Myths. Apparently she was his Great×1000 Grandmother and passed down the Gift (and Curse) of Prophecy to him. And he knew how to break it!
All he needed to do was gather the right resources, chant the correct incantations, make sure not to accidentally summon a Demon in the process, and he could just foist the Curse onto some other poor schmuck. Sure it would suck for them, and he would loose his Gift of Prophecy, but Wes had been ignored for Years at this point, he needed validation!
So he did the Ritual, and he didn't mess it up, and he managed to get rid of the Curse.
Now all he had to do was convince everybody that he was right for the first time in his life! This was going to be great!
...
Cass didn't know what was going on.
A while ago, she had started getting these...gut feelings that she couldn't explain.
She would look over the details of a Case her Family was working on, and see a patern that the others were seemingly ignoring. Like when she realized that The Penguin was about to raid the Docks on the East Side, but the others were convinced it was going to be on the West.
But when she had tried to tell them, they had brushed her off. "We've already concluded that he will begin the Raid on the West side, no need to go to the East."
She had gone anyways, and low and behold she had been right. But nobody even acknowledged that she had been right at all, they had just wondered how they had missed the signs, not even questioning how she had known.
It wasn't limited to Cases either. Even small things, like telling her brother's where the TV remote was were brushed off, and hours later they would still be looking, never even having checked where she told them.
It seemed that no matter what, nobody cared about her point of view anymore. They kept brushing her off, telling her she was wrong, actively ignoring her ideas.
And it was getting worse. They were starting to ignore her more and more, forgetting she was in the room, not calling her down for Dinner, even forgetting to check in on her during Patrol.
She knew that there must be something going on, Magical or otherwise, but when she tried bringing it up with her Dad or JLD, they would also Brush her off.
Her Family was forgetting her. And they didn't even realize it.
...
Danny was not okay at the moment.
When he had gone to school a few weeks ago and noticed everybody staring at him, he didn't give it much thought. Maybe Dash or Paulina had spread another Rumor about him again, not too out of the ordinary.
When his name had been called over the Intercom, he hadn't thought much of that either. His grades were falling even more than usual, so he assumed his Guidance Counselor wanted to have another talk with him.
When he walked into the Principals Office to see both of his Parents and some GIW Agents, that's when he realized something big must have happened.
He didn't have much of a chance to react when the Shields went up, but he did react when the first Ecto-Blast scorched the wall behind him. His Parents began to scream at him as they fired their Blasters, something about replacing somebody? He didn't know, he was pretty preoccupied at the moment.
It took more effort than he cared to admit to escape the Room, but a stray shot to the hidden Shield Projector under the Principals Desk proved to be his saving grace. Unfortunately the moment he escaped the Office, he was met with a veritable Army of GIW Agents, all armed to the Teeth with Weapons he had never even seen before.
He managed to get away for a moment, hiding in the Bathroom as the Agents chasing him passed it by. That's when he met Wes.
He obviously hadn't been expecting him, but the moment he saw him Wes put on a smug look. "Oh hi Fenton, trying to get away from the other students?"
Danny had replied with confusion, "What the hell are you talking about?!"
"I finally managed to convince everybody about you, now everyone knows that you're Phantom! I'll bet you're hiding from all of the other Students hounding you for questions right?"
"...it was you?"
"Yeah, so? I finally get to be right!"
"...You absolute MORON-"
That was the last Danny got to say to Wes before an Ecto-Blast launched him through a Wall, seeing his face morph into a look of Shock just before the dust cloud covered it up.
Since that day, Danny had been on the Run. Nowhere was safe anymore now that the GIW knew both his Human and Ghost's faces, but he had to keep running. He crossed state Lines already, and was on his way to the next Ecto-Rich City he could sense, somewhere in New Jersey.
He cursed his Fenton Luck every day. Why had everybody believed Wes this time?! Nobody had ever belived him before, nobody even seemed to acknowledge his existence after a while! What had changed?
Danny just wanted to rest already.
...
Cass had taken to Patrolling alone recently. She had taken to doing a lot of things alone, actually.
After the first month, it seemed that nobody could remember that she was in the room with them, even if she was within their eyeline, she just faded into the background. By the 2 Month Mark they had stopped talking to her entirely, although occasionally she would get a Text or two from her dad. By the 3 month Mark she was completely invisible, and By the 5th she had been forced to get used to it.
She didn't know what was going on, was it a Meta Ability? Magic? Alien Tech? She had no idea.
She had begun to cook for herself after the first time Alfred forgot to set her Plate at the Table. The same with Washing her own Clothes, Cleaning her Room, and Paying her Phone Bills. At the very least the Automated Allowance Payments to her Account had kept up, or she wouldn't have been able to go to her favorite Cafe anymore.
It was bittersweet for her. She used to go to that Cafe every week with Alfred, but he didn't even come on his own anymore. Had he only come for her? Did she really mean that much to them? It hurt, she finally had a family that cared for her and suddenly she didn't exist to them.
She sat alone at a Table, ignored by everyone in the Cafe as usual, when a new face walked in. He looked about her age, a little roughed up, walking with a sort of cautious gaint, as if he was scared of something. His Body Language seemed to agree with her assessment, as his body practically screamed "Worry" in its movements.
Cass stopped watching at that point. Just another Gotham Teen, probably worried over something like getting not having enough money or getting mugged on the way home. It was a Common sight in Gotham.
She attention was pricked again for a moment when she heard a voice speak up. "Uh, can I sit here?"
She ignored it, he wasn't talking to her.
"Um, excuse me? Miss? Could I sit here?" He repeated.
She ignored him again, he wasn't talking to her. Nobody talked to her.
"Hello? Do you have Earbuds in?" He said, and he waved his hand in front of her face.
Her face. He waved his hand. In front of Her Face.
He was talking to her.
She looked up at him sharply, seeming to startle him for a moment before he asked, "So, is that a no?"
"You can see me?" She asked.
He looked a bit bewildered, but replied "Uh, yeah? Why would I not? Are you...a Ghost?". That last part sounded a bit suspicious.
"No. Not a Ghost. But nobody sees me. Ever. Nobody remembers me." She replied. She had never spoken this much to anybody outside of her Family, but in the past few weeks she had been starved for interaction.
He seemed slightly interested, and sat down at her table. He looked her in the eyes, and said "Do you...talk about it?"
She smiled. He could see her.

Flynn Fenton redesign
My redesign on Flynn Fenton, I’m a bit late to the party but whatever. First one has a white background, second one none and the third one is just the line are, if anyone wants to use it to try out some different color schemes or anything. I really didn’t intend for the colors here to look as washed out as they do, but I got a new laptop and they looked really vibrant on there but looking at it now on my phone they look really pale.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For this Flynn is the son of Maddie and Vlad from the episode Master of all time. Maddie and Vlad originally continued research in to ghosts after college, even beginning to build a ghost portal. Flynn somehow ended up falling through the portal at some point, Vlad and Maddie actually thought he had been killed (don’t know how I’ll come up with more details later) Thinking their son had been killed as a result of their research Vlad quit the research all together not even wanted to speak of ghost, while Maddie continued it in secret. While the timeline was reset to how it was originally at the end of the episode, Flynn continues to exist in the ghost zone. I headcannon the Ghost Zone as sort of an in between dimension that exist outside of those two timelines but still runs parallel to them. So it was unaffected by the timeline reset. I haven’t decided how Misery Vex fits into this yet (I am redesigning her though btw) Maybe she has been looking out for Flynn or caring for him for a bit but idk I’m still not sure. Flynn has mostly been surviving on his own, he is still mostly a regular human. I think it would be stupid that just anyone could go in the ghost zone, stay there for a while and basically end up with ghost powers. What’s the point of Danny being a half ghost then, anyone can go get ghost powers. So Flynn is probably affected by it to some degree but not enough that he has a bunch of powers or anything. I like to think he is smart like Maddie and Jazz and is able to build some ghost fighting stuff buy scavenging for parts in the ghost zone. Maybe he’s even trying to find a way back to the human world. He basically has his own little lair which is just a place he keeps all his scavenged stuff. Since humans are basically like ghosts in the ghost zone, able to pass through solid objects, he uses that to his advantage. He sneaks around places trying to stay out of site most of the time. He has become quite skilled at fighting and there are rumors of a dangerous creature in the ghost zone that you don’t want to pick a fight with, one that picks off ghosts in a fight without hardly being seen itself. (sort of like a phantom lol) He wears the skin of a creature he was attacked by but killed. I like to think the ghost zone has its own native creatures while also having the souls of humans who haven’t passed on yet. The one he wears was native to the ghost zone and basically the equivalent to an animal on earth. He wears it mostly as an intimidation tactic because a regular human in the ghost zone is an easy target.

I was trying to base his hair color more on Maddie’s sister, his Aunt Alicia. He has Maddie’s eye color and face shape and Vlad’s nose. He also has a more tall and thin body type like Vlad.
Tumblr media
He was pretty young when he went through the portal but he still remembers his parents. He also doesn’t know of all the timeline shenanigans that went down and that basically his version of reality doesn’t exist anymore. (i’m honestly gonna have to go back and rewatch that episode because I don’t remember completely what happened) So to him Vlad and Maddie are still his parents and when he does “reunite” with these characters it’s gonna be kinda awkward, also would make some great drama. This would also set him up for the possibility of a more antagonistic role for a while because I think he would sort of blame Danny for his timeline not existing anymore. (even though Danny was kind of the reason it existed in the first place)
The colors for the clothes on his kid self are based on Vlad’s in this picture.
