People who say “Vlad” is short for “Vladimir” are missing out on the chance to make the most bitchin reference:

Sorry if this went through twice - had some technical difficulties.

had some time to think about your wwdits x dp while moving firewood, and got some very vague ideas.

(I’ve seen the original movie and the spinoff focusing around the cops. I’ll watch the USA version at some point. Probably.)

Concept one - focused around wellington paranormal: danny gets yoinked through a portal into wellington, floats around a bit confused, gets seen and gets the cops called on him. he ends up getting taken back to the station - someone gives him a really oversized police jacket because NZ cold. I can’t remember where I was going with this because at this point a spider crawled out of the wood I was holding and derailed my entire train of thought. 

I think I just wanted him to see the “the New Zealand Police: way nicer than the American Police” sign and start cracking up in the middle of an interrogation.

Probably also the use of this dialogue;

“Do we actually have any reason to detain him? Was he actually breaking any laws?”

“He was floating. That breaks the laws of physics. That’s a law, isn’t it?”

Concept two - focused more around the original wwdits movie: Danny, Sam and Tucker are in NZ on a trip for some reason. Tucker says that Wellington is seen as a supernatural hotspot, so they decide to go have a look. They’re not really expecting much, but they go clubbing and run into like 5 vampires, six werewolves and a zombie, who are all pretty chill and just out enjoying the nightlife so no fighting is necessary. 

Borrowing the other anon’s idea of Sam getting mistaken for a vampire - both she and Danny get invites to the Unholy Masquerade. Tucker’s salty that he didn’t get an invite, so they bring him as a plus-one. Not sure what happens next ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

“Breaks the laws of physics” OH MY GOD please yes

Okay first thing’s first: I admittedly background-viewed a couple episodes of WP and it was a while ago. I’ll change that soon but for now I’m working with limited exposure

I love the idea of concerned authorities shoving a big coat on Danny because you know that dummy is going to protest the whole time, but he’s not going insist that he’s fine because he’s a ghost and he’s got literal ice powers and doesn’t mind the cold. No, he’s going to get defensive because he’s from the American Midwest and it gets really fucking cold there too, he’s used to it. Idk what it is about Americans that we’re terminally committed to proving how harsh our weather gets and how tough we are for it. I just know Danny is not at all immune to this in my mind

The best part of this is of course the WPD has absolutely no means of forcing Danny to come back to the station or put on a coat. No ghost weapons or containment devices, just mother-henning this whiny glowing floating kid into grudging compliance. He’s in the back of a cruiser with his arms crossed and he’s heaving put-upon sigh after sigh. But not once does he even attempt to phase out of the vehicle. Maybe this is after Sam, Danny, and Tucker have been out clubbing a little bit. The WPD either didn't notice/bother with the rest of the supernatural beings. He was the only one not dressed appropriately for the weather and tunnel vision took over

Of course one has to wonder if the WPD even registers that this kid is clearly a ghost, or do they hear his accent and think “maybe some Americans glow and float and have echo-y voices”

-

The trio would be so underwhelmed by the Unholy Masquerade, and it would be so refreshing to them. There’s so much drama in Danny’s life I imagine that silly little party is a breath of fresh air

I just had this idea where Phantom is invited as the guest of honor because the gossip grapevine says that he’s the Ghost King. And who wouldn’t want the Ghost King at the Unholy Masquerade, hmm?

Of course there’s no such thing as a Ghost King but who is Danny to pass up on this opportunity? Cue Danny using his super cringe Hero Voice trying to appear ~royal and refined~, and even bringing a stupid costume crown. Lucky for him the WWDITSverse vamps are generally ridiculous enough to buy it hook line and sinker. Or they assume Americans be crazy. Either way.

Tucker is upset that he doesn’t get an invitation but Danny and Sam hatch an idea to go in without him at first, scope out the scene, and Danny will sneak Tucker in if he and Sam think the scene seems safe enough.

The night gets off to a good start, and Danny grabs Tucker from outside. But once Tucker opens his mouth and tries a cheesy pick-up line on another partygoer, and he’s picked out as a virgin even quicker than poor Stu. From there it’s pretty much like the movie, except escaping is much easier since Danny can just make himself, Sam, and Tucker intangible and fly them out. But hoo boy he and Sam do not stop laughing for a loooooong time over Sam passing as a vampire (in a room of vampires!) better than Tucker can pass as a person with any game whatsoever

What We Do in the Shadows x Danny Phantom crossover and the setup is just that WDDITS episode where Colin Robinson gets in an online feud with a troll, but replace the troll with Vlad Masters

[ectokelpeigh]

Y’all remember the Superb Owl gag from WWDITS

If they associate football with some giant divine bird, they’d definitely assume Vlad worships the owl like a god if they ever saw his place. He has all these eggs. The rest of the memorabilia items must be heirlooms of the owl’s cult

We’re going to roll with my headcanon that Vlad is incredibly sensitive to any mention of him looking like a vampire because it makes everything 10x funnier ok

Vlad goes to Staten Island meets our beloved nest of disasters because [reasons]. Maybe there’s an artifact in the house he really wants/needs? So he snoops around as Plasmius but he gets caught? Anyway, the vampires either a) recognize him as a ghost and are about as weird around him as they were about their own ghosts in 2x02, or b) assume he’s a vampire, and any protests/corrections from Vlad (and Guillermo, guardian of the brain cell) fall on deaf ears because they’re all just Like That. 

The (actual) vampires’ individual reactions:

Nandor is immediately taken with Vlad. He ignores every word Vlad says and knows absolutely nothing about him by the time they all part ways, but feels so connected to his style that in Nandor’s mind, this is his new best friend (cue bad mood for Guillermo). They wear capes, they are conquerors, they love their pets, they wear boots with pointy toes. Bonus points if Nandor notes that Vlad’s look is “a little much” at some point because irony is delicious.

Nadja cannot stand this creep. Spends hours in a ‘confessional’ interview listing everyone bastard she’s met in her long life of which Vlad reminds her, exactly how she mutilated their corpses, and how much pleasure she took in it. 

Laszlo: Vlad is relieved when Laszlo steal him away from the group to “converse in a more civilized space”, thinking Laszlo is the most normal of the bunch. Really Laszlo dragged him there to coach him on picking up sexual partners. Laszlo is convinced this pathetic chap needs to get laid pronto. Based on Plasmius’s aesthetics Laszlo assumes he’s super old, and he’s obviously been a frustrated virgin this whole time. But good lord no he’s not volunteering, he has standards. It goes as well as you think it does. We learn that Colin Robinson has taught him the word “incel” as some point.

Colin Robinson: fucking thrilled when he realizes he has an excuse to feed with some oddly specific Packers trivia. Vlad already knows every “fun fact” Colin Robinson has in store, which makes it all even juicier. When he runs out of trivia, he starts brainstorming ideas for Vlad to purchase the team. They’re all very obvious and/or generally terrible ideas. Fun plot twist: it turns out energy vampires temporarily get ghost powers if they feed off a halfa (including the ability to turn into a human, which is entirely useless to him because it’s not like he has any of the classic vampire weaknesses anyway but it’s a neat trick)

Of course I’m not leaving out Guillermo, but I don’t think he interacts with Vlad much. As usual he’s too busy solving the problem. + he has the good sense to avoid him. While the others occupy Vlad driving him crazy, Guillermo looks into Vlad’s personal history and Amity Park. He can’t stop whispering yikesyikesyikesyikes for three days at the shit he finds. He figures out the halfa thing almost instantly (the vampires have seen Vlad in both forms but assume it’s classic shape shifting, not some alive/dead thing [vampires: “you can turn into a human but not a bat? what’s the point?” Vlad: “What’s the point of turning into a bat when you can already fly without wings?”). 

What does Guillermo do when faced with a threat like this? Fucking handles it that’s what. But as skilled as he is, wooden stakes and holy water don’t do shit to Vlad (he stakes him in human form once and Vlad is more upset about ruining his suit than anything). 

So he scours the web for ways to deal with this kind of ghost, and on the way down that rabbit hole he comes across the Fentonworks site. Being their ridiculous selves, Jack and Maddie have a big old family photo of themselves and the kids that takes up the entire home page. Seeing Danny’s face (obviously the Ghost Boy of Amity Park with different eyes and hair, how is no one else seeing this?) and recognizing the Fenton name from his initial research on Vlad (news clipping from the accident), it doesn’t take long for Guillermo to figure out the personal connections. He somehow gets a hold of Danny and begs him to come deal with this bullshit, please. Danny whines “Aww, can’t you keep him for like, another week? It’s been so peaceful without him around.” but shows up the next day on their doorstep, arms crossed in a huff: “I’m here to pick up the trash.”

Vlad is thrilled to have an excuse to get away; his powers are haywire for [reasons again] and the personalities in the group are so obnoxious that he couldn’t speak long enough to make an excuse to leave before he’s interrupted again.

Except.

Guillermo never mentioned anything about vampires to Danny. But these are. Real vampires. His jaw drops and he bluescreens for a hot minute until he busts out laughing and cannot stop for the life of him.

Now, Danny showed up as Fenton and Guillermo hadn’t told anyone they were expecting a guest, much less a half-ghost (they wouldn’t even listen when he tried to explain Vlad’s situation), so when Danny literally falls over with laughter but “catches” himself with levitation before he hits the floor, all vampires present throw confused looks between each other then at Guillermo in unison. The first time Danny hears Nandor, Nadja, or Laszlo speak with their accents and fang-lisps he laughs so hard he involuntarily goes ghost, which makes him laugh harder because “you literally have me dying laughing here.” 

For weeks after the fact, Danny only speaks to Vlad in a terrible imitation of Nandor and Nadja’s accents. Vlad absolutely ruins his day when he points out how much the stupid “hero voice” he uses as Phantom sounds like Laszlo.

Guillermo and Danny keep in touch, mostly texting each other out-of-context quotes from their respective ridiculous Masters (ba dum tss)

Laszlo: Which one of your parents fucked a ghost?

Danny: WHAT? Neither!

Vlad: Yet.

Danny: Hey. Fuck off. And no, we weren't born like this. I literally just finished explaining.

Nandor: You are... wereghosts.

Danny: No?? Ghosts aren't monsters from another dimension or something.Tucker: Yeah. That'd be dumb.

Nadja: You switch between life and death at will? And you're sure there's no necromancy involved? Witches are sneaky, are you sure none have taken your semens?

Danny: No necromancy. Yes I'm sure. Also: gross.

Nandor: You and Vladimir are zombies, then.

Danny: Do I LOOK— [pinches bridge of nose] no.

Laszlo: Right. So you started dying, chickened out, and are now half-assing death.

Danny: You know what? Yeah. That's it.

Now listen theres two routes to take sam in the wwdits crossover.

A) sam is or becomes an actual vampire at some point through some weird coincidence. Its brought up in passing about "young knight phantoms vampire friend", and/or they dont realize sams just. Super young and keep trying to talk with her about events centuries past.

OR B) the same above BUT SAMS NOT ACTUALLY A VAMPIRE. they just assume she is. They visit and see sam "paler than the midday sun" manson and think "oh fun! Dannys got a vampire friend :)" only guillermo realizes shes not actually a vampire, but isnt gonna say anything because hes just as dramatic as literally everyone else involved and wants to see this play out.

bless you for this. all of it.

skjnfsad I'm thinking of option A if Sam is turned into a vampire after Danny's met the Staten Island vamps. So they should have a valuable resource for guidance on dealing with all this but Danny rightfully decides they're not helpful enough to warrant a trip to New York. Danny does text Guillermo, though, and the Staten Island vamps find out and insist on taking a trip to AP. Sam meets them and is thrown into an existential crisis: Am I going to turn out crazy like them? Is that a vampire thing? Guillermo assures her they're just fucking weirdos

In option B (or A, but it makes a bit more sense in B), Sam is pretty uncomfortable when the conversation turns towards eating people though. "Nothing with a face" includes humans, yk. Danny and Tucker laugh at her expense until one of the Staten Island vampires says something about her "two familiars", clearly referring to Tucker and Danny. And oh, how the tables have turned. "I need two familiars," she says, "because each of them are so lazy and disobedient. Combined, they're barely as useful as one decent familiar." To which Nadja says "So why not kill them and find another? Oh, unless the sex is great. That must be it." mortifying all three of them at once. Nadja is efficient like that

I'd be remiss to not propose C) they think Sam is a witch. I don't have any follow-up thoughts on that except we know how they react to witches. :)

Another one: Spectra and Colin hit it off and/or start another turf war (this is we-serve-spirits btw)

YES.

I'd love a gag where they're hitting it off until Spectra talks about how fun it is to target children, and we cut to Colin in a confessional saying "Even I think that's fucked up."

Colin does use her as inspiration to get into counseling, though, because that's a gold mine for him. While he works on fudging degrees/certifications to work as a psychologist, he has a field day playing the role of a college student who's taken two psych classes and takes it upon themselves to psychoanalyze all their friends and family. (Cue a "Jeez, you're worse than Jazz was in high school" joke from Danny)
