Badger Cereal Week Event

Tag: badgercerealweek2024

Hi there! Me and some mutuals have been working on prompt fandom event we would like to share with you: The Badger Cereal Week Event!

What is this event about? 

This event is about badger cereal (Danny-Vlad frenemy dynamic)  that people can participate in by making fanart, fics, etc by using the list of prompts that are going to be shared in this post down below.

This event is going to last a week, with each day dedicated to a different prompt from the list.

What is badger cereal?

Badger cereal is the fandom platonic ¨ship¨ between Danny Fenton and Vlad Masters. This dynamic usually consists in Vlad acting like a mentor or like father figure to Danny, it can involve him working along with Danny or teaching him. Other cases it can be the two characters having funny interactions between them as enemies, with the person enjoying their hero-villain bantering.

Their dynamic can change depending on the person, with some leaning more towards drama and others more towards comedy, but it is always intended to be platonic, as mentor-pupil or rival enemies, nothing else.

When is the event going to take place?

In November, from Sunday 10th to Sunday 17th Nov. It is going to last a week

Guide and rules about the event:

-Remember to tag any entries/posts as #badgercerealweek2024 -Remember that this is supposed to be a badger cereal event, so please, keep it that way. -Things like horror and gore are allowed but shouldn’t be taken to an extreme. -Not every prompt has to be used while participating in the event. A person can do one or two and that would be enough. -It is okay if the person doesn't post the prompt in the same day it is intended to as long as they clarify which prompt is (like prompt from day 2 in the fourth day)

List of prompts for the event:

It would be: Day 1-Teaching Day 2-Pranks Day 3-Future Day 4-Parallels Day 5-Protection Day 6-Fighting Day 7- Truce

Credits to the @theillustraitor for making the design for the list of prompts!

*In any case you have any questions about the event, you can DM me or send me an ask to my blog.

See you there!

First fic made for Bager Cereal Week 2024! Just got back into the swing of writing, so the next one may be a little bit.

This one is for Day 5: Protection.

Badger Cereal Week Day 1: Teaching

Summary:

It's a new school year and Danny's taking an Ectology 101 class. Who could the teacher be?

Word Count: 1,521

Danny’s first day of Junior year was going so smoothly he was starting to get paranoid. It was already lunchtime and there had been no ghost attacks, no bullying, no embarrassing moments- it was just a matter of time before something happened. That was just his luck, and he knew it. 

“Dude, chill. What class do you even have after lunch today?” Tucker asked, all too aware of Danny’s fretting.

“Ectology 101.”

“Pfft, you could sleep through that class and be fine, what are you worried about?” Sam rolled her eyes. 

“I don’t know who the teacher is. I mean, who would even want to teach that class? I’m just glad my parents were banned due to all the property damage they’ve done at the school.”

“It’s probably just Mr. Lancer,” Tucker said. “You know he teaches everything they don’t have another teacher for.”

“Tucker’s right, remember last year when you had a whole afternoon of Lancer classes?” 

“Ugh Sam, don’t remind me,” Danny groaned as he pushed his lunch tray away and laid his head on the table. “At least I only have English with him this year. And he’s actually good at teaching that class since he’s a lit nerd.”

“Maybe he’s a ghost nerd too and you just don’t know it!” Tucker elbowed Danny and he retaliated with a playful shove of his own.

“I doubt that.”

The bell rang, and the trio left the cafeteria and split off to their classes in different parts of the building after repeated reassurances from Tucker and Sam that Danny was just being paranoid. Despite their voices echoing in his head he couldn't stop himself from holding his breath as he swung open the door to the Ectology classroom and immediately felt a rush of simultaneous rage and validation. 

He was right to be paranoid and he made a mental note to rub it in his friends’ faces later when he looked at the smug face of none other than Vlad freaking Masters- his arch-nemesis, godfather, and most importantly the biggest Frootloop to ever half-live. 

“Daniel, it’s good to-”

“No freaking way!” Danny stormed forward, eyes blazing. “You are already a billionaire CEO and mayor! Why the heck would you take a job as a teacher!”

“No need for ‘scary eyes,’ Daniel,” Vlad admonished in that tone that made Danny’s skin crawl. “I just noticed that the teachers at your poor school are so overworked and there was no one else qualified for this position, so I had to take the job of course.”

“Shut up! You’re just here to ruin my life, just like when you became mayor! How many people did you overshadow this time, Frootloop?”

Danny could see Vlad’s anger bubbling over and he braced himself for a fight, fists cocked and ectoplasm surging right underneath his fingertips.

“I AM NOT A-”

The warning bell blared, cutting off Vlad’s tirade. The red glow that had started flaring in his eyes faded as he took a breath and turned back to his desk.

“Go sit down, Daniel. Class is starting soon.” 

“Vlad, you can’t-”

“I’m your teacher Daniel, it’s Mr. Masters here at school.”

Danny frowned and marched away, groaning internally when he saw the only empty seat left in the classroom was in the front row. He barely listened as Vlad introduced himself and went over the syllabus. Eyelids drooping, his head sunk to his desk. 

Suddenly Danny jolted awake when a shock of electricity shot through his body. He screamed and fell out of his chair, sending everything on his desk flying in the process. The class roared in laughter and Danny cracked open his eyes to see Vlad looming over where he’d landed on the floor. 

“There will be no sleeping in my class, Daniel.” Vlad tutted and put away his tiny ghost taser before turning on his heel and walking back to the chalkboard. 

Danny suppressed a growl and heaved himself back into his chair, then slowly gathered his notebook and pencil. He would give anything for a ghost attack to happen so he could have an excuse to leave. 

As if summoned by his thoughts, Danny gasped as his ghost sense went off. Grinning, he raised his hand. “Can I go to the bathroom?”

Vlad glared at him. “No. You will not be leaving this classroom until the bell rings.” 

What? Vlad couldn’t stop him from fighting ghosts! He felt his anger building as he stood. “But Vlad-”

“Mr. Masters.” Vlad corrected.

“I have to go!” Danny refused to call him Mr. Masters. Vlad didn’t deserve his respect.

“No, you don’t. Now sit down and stop interrupting my class!” 

Danny was about to argue more when the school’s ghost alarm went off and ghost shields activated around the room’s door and windows. The classroom burst into chaos- they had done ghost drills before but the shields were new. Danny took the opportunity to run to the door but hissed in pain when the shield shocked him.

“When did they install ghost shields?” Danny muttered.

“I funded them, of course.”

Danny whirled around to see Vlad smirking at him. Vlad’s amusement was clear on his face when Danny flashed his ‘scary eyes’ again.

“Of course!” Danny stomped back to his seat in defeat. With the ghost shields up, there was nothing he could do. Vlad had won yet again. And it seemed he wasn’t done gloating.

“What’s the matter, Little Badger?” Vlad crowded his desk, but Danny kept looking down at his blank notebook. He didn’t want to see the Frootloop’s stupid face. “Mad you can’t go play hero like you want to? Now you can actually focus on your studies for once, isn’t that great?”

“Yeah, it’s just great,” Danny said through gritted teeth. “But who’s going to deal with the ghost? My parents?”

Vlad laughed. “Of course not. That buffoon Jack has gotten both of your parents banned from the school, remember? So I’ve hired some hunters to deal with the ghost issues.”

“What, like Valerie? Y’know she’s probably trapped in class right now too.” Danny wasn’t sure her integrated ghost hunting suit would stop her from going through ghost shields, but the general chaos in whatever class she was stuck in right now would probably make it hard for her to go fight the ghost. 

“No, I’ve decided that teenagers like you and Ms. Gray shouldn’t be fighting ghosts at all. The people I hired are professional adults. You have nothing to worry about.”

Danny rolled his eyes. “Adults can be bad ghost hunters too. Like my parents? Or the Guys in White?” 

“That’s enough sass from you, Daniel,” Vlad said with a scowl. “Any more and I’ll give you double the homework today.”

“What? You can’t do that!”

“Or maybe I’ll make it triple. Don’t test me.”

Danny felt his face heating up as his indignation rose. He was tempted to go ghost right there in the classroom and fight Vlad, even if it meant outing his secret. The class was still in total chaos anyway, so it’s possible no one would even notice. It seemed like none of his classmates had noticed his argument with Vlad so far.  

He took a step forward, just about to summon his transformation rings, when Vlad spoke again.

“Little Badger-”

“Did you hear that? Mr. Masters just called Freaky Fenton ‘Little Badger!’”

Danny couldn’t tell which jock called him out, because all too soon the whole class was pointing and laughing at him. He felt his shoulders raise to his ears as he unconsciously turned to the door to leave.

“Where’re you going, Little Badger?” A classmate mocked him, but Danny kept going.

The door zapped him again as he remembered the active ghost shield too late. Everyone saw him jolt this time which that just made the class laugh even more. 

“That’s enough! Everyone get to your seats NOW!” Vlad’s commanding voice made the classroom fall silent immediately. Danny never thought he would feel relieved to hear Vlad’s voice, but today was just filled with surprises.

The rest of class was blissfully normal. Vlad continued the introductory ghost lesson that Danny only half-listened to. The ghost shields went down, so presumably the ghost issue had been handled by someone. Danny didn’t even care anymore; he was just desperate for the bell the ring so he could leave.   

After what felt like million years, the bell finally did ring. Danny jumped up from his seat and booked it to the hall, ignoring Vlad yelling at him to come back because he released them and not the bell. Danny wasn’t going to spend a single extra second in Vlad’s classroom. 

During his next class, he debated what to do. He knew the Frootloop too well and there was no way that deranged half ghost would let him just drop the class. Danny would need to do something more drastic to get out of it, like get Vlad fired somehow. Or maybe he could annoy Vlad so much that he would quit.

A smile spread across Danny’s face at that thought. Yeah, maybe that would work.

Another one for Badger Cereal Week 2024!!! This one's Day 6: Fighting.

[picturejasper20]

If we are to create a fic/fics for Badger Cereal Week, how would that work to properly tag, such as posting it on Ao3? Should we link it in a Tumblr post with the proper tags, cross-post the story on both Tumblr and Ao3, or just tag it with badgercerealweek2024 on Ao3?

Already brainstorming some fic ideas, and would like to know beforehand on what to do, thank you! 🩵🩵🩵

You can post the AO3 link to the fic on a tumblr post while adding the proper tag in said post.

And you can add that is a fic intended for the event and the prompt in the summary of the fic, notes or something like that if you want.
