I need more Danny ‘No more hero’ Phantom, so here I will be reasoning why he’s an Anti-Hero (in Dp x Dc prompt)
Danny doesn't see Death as the worst thing. He's too familiar with it (He is Death).
Sometimes it's better than 'living'. It's like a 'new beginning', a chance to let go like he tried to he did.
He left hero things with everything in his hometown. Where no matter what, he's been The Villain, The ghost, the menace.
People Humans only see in him what he did while being mind-controlled or forced to. Not that he saves them every day. They are afraid of him, of his power.
Just how are people still like Superman and other heroes who are more powerful than regular humans? They get mind-controlled and forced to be evil sometimes too.
That isn't fair.
And while They chose to save other people's asses because they wanted to, Danny didn't have a choice, if he didn't step in, the town would be destroyed in days.
He hoped that his parents Fentons would finally realize why ghosts were coming into town, but they just blamed Ghost Boy for all of the wrongdoings and never considered they were wrong.
So after 2 and a half years of hope, he burned out and just destroyed the portal, cleared out all of the ectoplasm, and left.
Now if ghosts wanted to 'visit' living they needed to go to Danny and personally ask.
This means no more Technus 'I will take over the world' and Emder 'I will make everyone love my music by mind-control', and just Technus 'I'll only check new tech stuff' and Ember 'I'll hang out with Kitty in the park and play some guitar', of course in more human form.
Danny himself decided to stick around Gotham because one - Bats are interesting, and two - ectoplasm (which he tries to clear out, at least a little bit).
So now he messes with Bats and humans while he's Anti-Hero - Phantom.
And gets yelled at by people at Batburger while he's a regular worker - Danny Nightingale.
But what will the Justice League do when Phantom will save the world from some big bad ghost with impressive ease, and just leave…
That powerful being is not just some generic troublemaker in the streets of Gotham.
He's the end and sawing of the world (and Infinite Realms).

KNYAU Masterlist
Just a list of my KNY AU's and what to expect. This is technically a rehash of my first post, but I thought this would be an improvement from the extremely basic descriptions of that post. Plus, I have more AU's to share.
Sunlit Blossoms|Kamado Sibling Role Swap (🌸): Your standard Kamado role swap with Demon Tanjirou and Demon Slayer Nezuko. Instead of Tomioka, the siblings are found by Rengoku, and it leads to a cascade of butterfly effects.
Sunflowers and Thundering Fireworks|Ship Swap (💕): I need a better name for this because it is not strictly ships being swapped, but the main characters are swapped with their ship counterparts. Nezuko and Tanjirou are the tsugukos of Tengen and the Kochou sisters respectively, and Kanao is a Demon Slayer trying to turn her demonic adopted brother(Zenitsu) back into a human. Other characters are moved around as I pleased, not really based on ships.
Mirrored Sunset|Full Reverse AU (🔄): Nezuko and Tanjirou are switched, as are the demons and Slayers along with their leaders. Except Inosuke. He's still human, he just isn't allowed to fight. Hashira are Upper Moons, and vice versa. Michikatsu is a four hundred something criminally underpaid dad cursed to never die until the King of Demons(Ubuyashiki Kagaya in this AU) is dead, as punishment for what he did as a demon.
Tsugikuni-Kamado Swap (🌙): Tanjirou and Nezuko (along with a few others) are born in the Sengoku Era and the two siblings are among the first Breath Users. Meanwhile, Yoriichi and Michikatsu (plus others) are born in the Taisho Era, with one twin turned into a demon whilst the other becomes a Slayer to turn his brother back into a human. This AU has two versions:
Moon Princess, Chosen Sunlight: Tanjirou is the original Sun Breather, and Nezuko becomes Upper Moon One. Zenitsu is also the original Thunder Breather in this version.
Ashen Moonlight, Sun Goddess: Nezuko is the original Sun Breather, and Tanjirou becomes Upper Moon One. Zenitsu is dead, and Kanao is wondering where her husband went on his last mission.
Moonlit Butterfly|Kochou-Kamado Swap (🦋): Nezuko and Tanjirou are both Demon Slayer's, with Tanjirou being the (late) Sun Hashira, and Nezuko being the Flower Hashira. Meanwhile, Kanae is trying to return Shinobu to her human self after their family was slaughtered by a demon. Also, Sabito and Makomo are alive in this AU thanks to Tanjirou and Nezuko being at Final Selection.
Scattered Emders and Broken Hearts|Age/Fate Swap (🔥): This one came from TikTok. The Rengoku family took in Mitsuri when she ran away from home due to her being ostracized for her strength and appetite. Not long after, a demon attacks, leaving Mitsuri and Kyojurou the only survivors, the former becoming a demon. The Kamaboko Squad are Hashira, and most of the Hashira are rank and file Slayers with a few others being swapped out with important people in their lives who either died or took a different path in life.
Burning Ribbons|Shabana-Kamado Swap (🎀): Ume leaves work one day to discover that Gyutaro has been turned into a demon. She seeks out a cure, and one of her adversaries is the deadly Upper Moon Six duo. A pair of siblings Ume can't help but compare herself and her own brother to. There are some other swaps (i.e. I made Tengen's wives Hashira while Tengen is their Shinobi husband).
Miyuri Koarashi (❄️): my Demon Slayer OC, the Snow Hashira. I made her a few months ago, and I am still workshopping ideas a little.
If I think of any others I wanna share, I will add them! For now, I hope all the emojis are visible! If you have questions about an AU, just send me an Ask with either the emoji of the AU name. I will try to put up art for all of these! Have a great day/night/time you are existing in.

This is the capital of the ancient principality of Emder, lost in the Ob taiga of the Khanty-Mansiysk district, 19 years ago known exclusively for the heroic epic of those places.
Residents of the Urals, ancient Ugra - who are they? They are usually considered hantas and mansyas, but is this true?
As a rule, answering this question, most inhabitants begin to talk about the inhabitants of the taiga - hunters and fishermen.
Someone will remember that they belong to the Finno-Ugric peoples and are distant relatives of the Hungarians.
But few people imagine that in the Middle Ages (IX-XVI centuries) in terms of their level of development, these taiga inhabitants differed little from the inhabitants of Kievan Rus.
Including visually.
They controlled most of the present Urals and Western Siberia and the Perm Territory, including Sverdlovsk, part of the Chelyabinsk and Kurgan regions.
All this territory was divided between a dozen principalities, in which, as in any medieval kingdom, there were their city-fortress, guarding agglomerations of villages, warriors, militia, small and large princes.
And yet – the medieval inhabitants of this area were not just hunters and fishermen.
They knew metal and cattle. It is no accident that one of the main revered animals among the descendants of local residents is still considered a horse.
Their trade links, mostly fur, extended to Veliky Novgorod in the west and Iran in the south.
In the XV-XVI centuries, they repeatedly and sometimes quite successfully attacked the eastern possessions of the Russians - the Perm lands, ruled by the Stroganovs.
However, with the arrival of Mongoloids from Central Asia, including the army of Kuchum from Bukhara, and the subsequent campaign of Yermak, the culture of the peoples of the Urals began to regress.
It is important that by the end of the XIX – beginning of the XX century, only legends remained about the former glory of the Ural tribes.
One of them - "Bulin about the heroes of the city of Emder" - at the end of the 19th century recorded the famous researcher of the Tyumen north Seraphim Patkanov.
It tells about the campaign of local heroes from the former city of Emder - the capital of the principality of the same name on Konda.
Now it is a river in KhMAO, and in the Middle Ages it was also the name of another local principality.
In general, from the legends recorded by Patkanov, it follows that the Ural heroes lived a normal life of medieval feudal lords - they built powerful fortresses, their dwellings were full of gold, silver and silk, they arranged feasts, lists, etc.
However, to find exactly where all this happened, it was possible only after almost 100 years.
Actually, because of this, Emder was dubbed the "Siberian Troy", comparing with the circumstances of the "discovery in 1871 by Heinrich Schliemann of the ancient city, known until then only by the "Iliad" of Homer.
In 1994, Ekaterinburg archaeologists Sergei Koksharov and Alexei Zykov, based on the stories of local residents, found a settlement 70 kilometers south of Nyagan on the high cape of the Yendyr River, which they called with reference to the geography of Yendyrskoye-I.
Judging by the size, serious fortification (it was surrounded by several rows of moats and ramparts), collected artifacts, it was the lost capital of the Principality of Emder.
Almost two decades of research of the settlement and the surrounding area only confirmed this assumption.
It turned out that the surrounding area has been popular with people since the Bronze Age (2 thousand years BC).
In total, nine settlements and fortified settlements were found here, as well as several burial grounds (another archaeological term denoting ancient cemeteries).
Two of them belong directly to the medieval Emder, that is, residents of the capital city found their last refuge here.
Emder itself, by the standards of that era, is a serious military-political center, structurally included (through the payment of tribute) in the larger Kodskoy principality.
This is supported by the collections of things collected by archaeologists, including weapons and jewelry made of silver and bronze.
What the medieval city looked like is best illustrated by a mock-up reconstruction exhibited in the Nyagan Museum and Cultural Center.
Everything is made of wood: two rows of log fortress walls with gate towers, in the center of the princely chambers, housing for selected warriors, forge.
During its 400-year existence (XII-XVI centuries), the city was rebuilt nine times.
Most often due to fires, and in some cases it was clearly burned during hostilities.
Despite years of fieldwork, exploration of the area is far from complete.
In particular, this year a joint expedition of Yekaterinburg archaeologists and a detachment of Nyagan schoolchildren continued to study one of the burial grounds.
The main question now is how to popularize the material obtained by scientists.
A few years ago, a project appeared to create an open-air historical and archaeological museum near Nyagan, on the territory of which it was planned to restore the medieval fortress city of Emder in full size.
Such museums in the “Tyumen nesting doll” are not uncommon.
In Khanty-Mansiysk operates "TorumMaa" (Land of NumTorum - the supreme deity in the Ugorsk pantheon).
In Yugorsk - "Suevat-paul" (village of northern winds).
But everywhere there is only a traditional way of life of the peoples of the Urals - taiga hunters and fishermen, and nowhere is there a hint of their much richer past.
Either because of the lack of funds, or because of fear to show that the peoples of the Urals were not just Khanty and Mansi, but white people, with a developed civilization, perhaps because of this, so far, the project of reconstruction of the capital of the Emder principality lies under the cloth.
Meanwhile, Emder at the moment continues to be, perhaps, one of the few qualitatively studied medieval fortresses in Russia.
Over the past two years, the condition of the monument and its surrounding area has seriously deteriorated.
First, there was a powerful forest fire, then the remains of the fortress were almost destroyed by tractors and timber trucks that removed the burner.
The view of the cape towering tens of meters above the water cut and the powerful ramparts crowning it, which unexpectedly came to you from the taiga, made a strong impression.
In 2013, this place, which turned out to be on the edge of a giant forest cutting, littered with fallen trunks and branches, is visually no longer so bright.
But only externally and only for those who do not know what exactly is hidden behind this logging.
Emder, Siberian Troy - waiting for its reconstruction !
