#it's a pity. this show had a LOT of fandom potential. it was VERY blorbos in situations. I miss that.

Feels like I only reblog criticism in this fandom these days, and that's not really what I wanted to do. The problem is, the unchallenged toxic messages and the Gabrielcore ideology of late-stage S5 were just so intertwined with the central events and... really everything that now defines post-S5 canon... that I often don't feel comfortable just browsing the fandom for fun stuff anymore because it's a minefield of That.

A lot of people in the fandom are significantly hostile towards those of us who were hurt by the canonized abuse apologia, too, as if we're just too stupid to understand [insert justification used by countless IRL abusers], or we're just being difficult and "salty" for the heck of it.

I kinda just wish that we might eventually get a sub-fandom that just divorced canon after it turned sour, and will focus on the earlier canon and divergence AUs that we actually enjoyed.

danny phantom for the fandom ask game

[[ You two had the same braincell at the moment so lets go. ]]

blorbo: Danny. He's schrodinger's child, the one who causes everything to go down. I could give him a break or break him in a story (emotionally, haven't done it physically). But yet he's also very endearing with how funny he is and the constant running gag of him using puppy eyes to get someone to pity him. Seriously if I had a dollar for every time that shows up, I'd have enough for a large pizza.

scrunkly: Frostbite or Ember. Frostbite gives massive Uncle Iroh vibes and I think he's a better mentor figure than Clockwork based on how emotional he can be. And then there's Ember. I probably relate to her a bit. Being a combination of a band kid and someone who hasn't had the best luck romance wise. I enjoy seeing her banter with characters and also SHE HAS THE RANGE.

scrimblo bimblo: Either Dorathea or Kwan. Dorathea is complicated. She got subjected under abuse from her brother and has a sexist and outdated understanding of what women should do. I think it would mean a lot for her to unlearn all of those thoughts and lover herself the way her brother never did.

Kwan is also complicated but in a lighthearted sense. He seems like an nice guy, and as to how he ended up in Dash's friend group is still confusing. I think he could have some interesting interactions with the main trio or even exit the A Listers and hang around Valerie.

glup shitto: Easton. He's the oldest brother of Wes but he's not used a lot. I think we don't use him enough cause imagine having to be the older brother of the local conspiracist and the supernatural disbeliever. Not only that, he's the one who legitimately has psychic powers. There is huge chaotic comedic potential. Absolutely huge.

poor little meow meow: Hmm let's go with either Paulina or Vlad. Vlad's like the Ashfur of the Danny Phantom characters. He's trying to win over the love of someone who's clearly in a relationship with another character, and believes he's the victim in his own eyes. And while he's right in a sense about how he got his powers/ becoming half ghost, he's also wrong in that neither Jack nor Maddie wanted to harm him. Vlad's got a lot of problems but he's also a compelling villain, which I like but also he's hard as hell to write cause I wish to crumple him up like a newspaper.

Paulina's in a similar boat. She's like Chloe from Miraculous Ladybug, too self centered and doesn't think other characters matter like she does. Also loves Phantom. I dislike her personality in the show, but in fanon I think she could be played around with. Especially since she appears to be Hispanic or Latino.

horse plinko: Wes. Enough said.

eeby deeby: Either Aragon, the Observants, or Freakshow. Goodbye forever.
