so i was thinking, "who else becomes an immortal space themed monarch?" ~ if your immediate thought was "sailor moon", you are so right, i realy admire that about you 💚
The people that live in the Infinite Realms are able to fuse like gems in Steven Universe. Why you may ask? It's because their body is made up of ectoplasm that comes from their core, which is very similar to how a gem's form is made up of light and comes from their gem itself.
Fusions occur when two or more ghosts share a similar strong emotion or obsession, such as protection, love or hate. The fusion is a state where the occupants share thoughts and work together to operate a single body, so a lot of trust needs to be present or a singular goal in both minds.
Core Fusions also merge unique powers together to strengthen or link them together more.
Due to this, core fusions are typically seen as a way to show trust in any form or bond between ghosts, and as a way to strengthen forces and power.
Danny is probably able to fuse with ghosts and humans but was never told that it was possible for him bc he's half-human.
Now, this could work for both Dp x Dc and Dp x BNHA.

Danny can fuse with people who have been touched by death or have been dead and came back (like Jason).
The fusion would be a physical form that mixes both or more appearances while their cores (pseudo or not) appear as jewellery they wear as the fusion, which changes depending on the fusion.
Since I'm fixated on the dead on main ship right now, let's say that Jason is the one to core fuse with Danny first, and there can be an in depth backstory on how they meet and leads up to the core fusion, and it helps with the pit rage. Danny takes them to either Frostbite or Clockwork to figure out what is going on and they learn about core fusion and how it works.
-possible plot idea ahead-
In Gotham, Red Hood has been MIA for several months from both being a vigilante and a crime boas, and the rest of the batfam are freaking out about it; especially since a new crime boss has come into play going by "The Monarch" or "JD Fent" (The Monarch plays into Danny being either Ghost King or an adjacent role in the Infinite realms, and the JD Fent is a mix of their names bc I think it's cool :D).
Meanwhile, Jason and Danny have been chilling together using core fusion to keep away from the batfam and have been improving Crime Alley with Danny's inherited chaotic mad scientist gene being used to harness ectoplasm as a renewable energy since Gotham has a large quantity of it (bonus points if the ectoplasm can be re-filtered to be safely used again for power).
The GIW or another ghost could show up in Gotham to hunt down JD and the batfam accidentally get captured since a lot of them have died (I think??).
Cue a garnet-style reunion and a "stronger than you" scene before escaping and telling the rest of the batfam the truth.
Dp x BNHA
Similar to the other one, but quirks count as mini-cores and that's how people gain their powers. Quirkless people don't have cores and therefore don't have powers.
Danny could be able to fuse with the previous OFA users and just pull them out of Izuku or they could just fuse by Danny grabbing onto Izuku when using his quirk in a fight.
And I'm just imagining during one of the fights Danny grabs onto Izuku and a flash of light shoots out and once the light clears, Danny is gone and a person with three sets of arms with an appearance similar to Danny's and the other OFA users mixed into one before battling it out with the LOV.
Please let me know if anything doesn't seem like it works! And this prompt is free to use by anyone if they want to! :]
I looove how all the funny anime swords in ff7 seem to be made the way they are for a reason. Like sure we can all laugh at how big and unwieldy the Buster Sword is, and how it would never work irl, but like…that’s kinda the point? I mean everyone who’s wielded it is a supersoldier with their strength enhanced like crazy, so the fact that they can wield a sword like that so effortlessly is actually a simple but wonderful way of showing just how strong they are, by showing us rather than just telling us.
And I’ve already said my bit about Rapier, but it being matched perfectly to Genesis in fighting style and personality holds up with all the famous swords, really. The Buster is a big bear of a sword, with a sense of grandeur resting upon it not from any inherent quality of it, but from the love and devotion bestowed upon it—a perfect mirror of Angeal, the wielder it was made for. And as it rusts and gets wear and tear on it over time, it shows the inner turmoil Angeal never lets himself show to others, and as he is forgotten and what he stood for fades more and more the Buster rusts alongside him, and is left as a lonely monument in the wastes. It fits Zack too, when he takes it up—Zack, whose every breath was taken for his friends, loyal to his mentor’s memory until the last, wielding the physical manifestation of that purpose and passing on what he saw as good to another of those friends. And it fits Cloud, who was clinging to ideals perhaps better laid to rest along with his friends, barely even knowing what he was clinging to, and it fits that this isn’t his sword in the end, when in healing he makes the Fusion Sword—even more fitting for him, made of a number of different mismatched blades, pieces coming together to form an even stronger whole.
I find that most people consider robots to be cold beings... but what about the warm / scalding hot parts? intentional or not, some have gotta be cozy. is it shitty cooling? maybe. was it intentional? I dunno. I need more toasty robots.
anyways, go stick a hand on / in an exhaust port for the hell of it.
Before reading AGIT id never actually fully considered that ghosts can just fuse with other ghosts, I guess I thought it was just a special case with Dan, outside factors lining up just right and all that. I think ghost fusion has interesting uses and implications I would like to know more of
Dan is the only ghost we've seen doing this which I think is interesting, technically you could argue Skulker and Technus fuse as well, but that I see as a mere teamup since they're both distinctly there are apart. "Proper" ghost fusion seems to end with only one combined entity
Is it a well known power ghosts have? Can all ghosts do it? How rare is it that this happens? How stable do most fusions turn out? How long do they last? Just how much of an outlier is Dan in this case?
Separate but related rambles, my own thoughts on this, and apolocheese for the fanon, but I tend to imagine Dan's core is just the two mashed together, strong and trying to make something whole but yknow, still ultimately gonna be fractured and cracked in some way, thus its capable of drawing more energy in and fusing with others, although they'll not be nearly as wholly apart of him as Phantom and Plasmius, as Clockwork didn't seem to effect his personality, more like a power up of sorts
I just like thinking it's something only Dan can really do, to the extent he does it, though I do enjoy other interpretation
Oh man I wonder what other ghost fusions would look like. Imagine Dan and Fright Knight or something. Ooo Dan and Frostbite? And of course other non-Dan fusions, man I love the potential here
The hardest part of being a Fallout Fan with this new TV show is seeing other people come up with theories/ideas that I KNOW are wrong because they were already resolved in one of the games.
What happened to Vault-Tec/Corporate leadership and the majority of the US Government?
Well, stop your theorizing because they were on an Oil Rig that I blew up in Fallout 2, killing their inbred descendants. Then their remnants came out East, and then I killed them again in Fallout 3.
The US was so privatized in the Fallout Universe that those major corporations are the Government. Their shareholders are the officeholders, the State and Corporations working in unity against the people. Eventually, this forms into the self-consuming incompetent Enclave. None of this is a theory, this is directly told to us and you can ask people about in-game. Obviously some affiliates, like Dr. Braun, House, Sinclair etc. had their own shelters away from the oil rig, and it’s possible Barb is in one of those, but by in large most of the plutocrats are dead
