Danny Phantom doesn’t want to be king.
And the Observants also don’t want him to be king.
Frankly, very VERY few people want him to be king, dead or alive.
But opening the sarcophagus, even if it’s closed NOW, disrupted some magic protections. Until those can be fixed, summoning spells need to be answered by SOMEONE. Not all of summons, just like—once a month or so. Because if they don’t let that power outlet happen, all of those summon magics build up and suddenly Pariah Dark reigns again. Answering the summon basically dispels the built up magic, like opening a dam.
Again, Danny doesn’t WANT to do this either, but everyone else involved is a bad choice. He won’t even be named prince, because THEN that implies he COULD be king. He needs a title, of some kind, a position in the court, no matter how tenuous, so he can do the thing. Something where no one in their right or even WRONG mind would think to try to kill him for the position or try to marry him or something equally annoying to deal with.
So.
He becomes the Ghost Court Jester.
He even gets a fancy little outfit upgrade when he’s summoned, all black and white bell hats and shoes, a stupid little ruffle collar and black parachute pants, even face paint with a tiny dot of glowing neon green at the tip of his nose. The works. Better yet, if he hasn’t been ‘unsummoned’, his human form is just the exact same costume with swapped colors. He can change into his normal outfits, but until that circle has been disrupted, the next summon, or the next full or new moon, he’s stuck into the outfit when he first transforms from either form.
The Phantom Jester, which is a title more intimidating than Danny appears to be if we are to be honest, cracks jokes and never, EVER takes the summons seriously.
“Listen, I just had to get my hours in and it’s the last day of the lunar month, you got lucky I came at all.”
“I got the position by virtue of not wanting to go to Time Jail for a crime I technically didn’t commit and technically probably won’t but, well, eyes are the beholder of the grudge or something else equally cryptic to make you mad.”
“Is this a slumber party? … do you have cake? Bummer. Well, enjoy the bleeding walls then.”
“Whether I help you or not is entirely dependent on how well of a run down you can give me on this book I have to read that I have not at all touched.”
“Explain the reason in three sentences or less. I suggest less. And if it’s stupid I’m hitting you—oh you think this circle can contain me? Haha. It won’t.”
“Is that chicken blood? Why?? What did the chickens do to you?”
There are props in his costume but he literally never knows what he’s gonna pull out of his sleeves. Danny can’t even do a balloon animal and knows exactly zero card tricks, which would be more of an issue if the cards weren’t the size of a dinner plate. He barely even juggles and he’s honestly probably just utilizing his rarely-used telekinetic powers, but he does give people flowers if they haven’t been a total jerk. And if those flowers are like, rare and have seeds for propagation, well… he literally wouldn’t know. No, really, he doesn’t. He gets summoned by at least two ecology departments and he has no idea why, I mean, if he had a nickel—
He also had pies and is NOT afraid to use them.

You know, after the episode today, I can imagine how Moon and Nexus will meet.
I mean... That dude just wakes up fresh out of death but immediately shames the shit out of Nexus.
His criticism about his room? Flash? Flot machines? The barrier??? Moon literally just stated Nexus is the inferior one and has terrible taste in ... Everything.
I can imagine it will just like how him deal with Eclipse v1, when he will roast the hell out of Nexus. Don't know if it will make Nexus cry or snap or not... But surely Moon will give no mercy when he looks at the another cringe emo phase twink version of himself and says:
"Look at his twink ass. I can wait to destroy him both verbally and physically. "

Insanity loves company
Safe haven Thomas goes around, normal, aside from his best friend following him around. That would’ve been fine if he wasn’t dead. He wake up and there Newt was, sitting like he weighed nothing on his dresser or counter tops, talking and eating. It was hard to know if he was a ghost or not, at points, Thomas could almost smell his scent and soft warmth but at other times he just seemed far away and cold. People use to stare when he would talk to Newt, but the blonde never left so he never stopped talking to him.
Random late night writing idea I had before sleeping, I thought it was kinda cute and sad, especially if it was a way for Thomas to forget things about Newt, like his ghost got fuzzer the more time passed because he couldn’t remember small details anymore. Then he fully disappears and all Thomas remembers is his hair, name and the note.
