#jazz and danny really don't look alike

[tofuingho]

Imagine Jazz is dating Dick and the Batfam knows. They probably haven't had a formal introduction, but they've done a bit of investigation. They know all about the Dr.s Fenton and their inventions. The know about Danny and Dani's different achievements.

The one weird thing is that they can't find any clear photos of Danny or Dani.

One day, one of them sees her out and about with an absolute mountain of a man. He's very attractive and has black hair and blue eyes.

They're obviously very close to each other. They're very comfortable in each other's space and often put a hand on the other's arm or shoulder.

Oh my god. She's cheating on Dick.

[inthememetime]

Alfred finds and adopts three homeless teens while the whole of the Batclan is away, the three teens are of course The Fentons. Alfred on the other hand had been dealing with a bit of Empty Nest Syndrome and takes the trio in, so by the time the rest of the Batclan filters back there are three extra people in the Manor but the Fentons deliberately ghost the rest of the residents.

I love this for four reasons:

The potential for Alfred, who wishes Bruce would stop adopting small violent children, realizing that HE is the same.

You can't tell me Alfred, Danny, Dani, and Jazz won't be BFFs. Jazz is the only (mostly) sane person in this house besides him. Dani absolutely WILL spy and report on injuries in exchange for more of that casserole. Danny and Alfred have similar sarcastic wit.

"If we had a nickel for every billionaire with a secret identity we know, we would each have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but weird it happened twice."

The SHENANIGANS!!!!!

Shenanigans include:

At first, Alfred doesn't tell the Batfam because they're a family of detectives. Surely they'll notice. Over time, it becomes a contest of who can make them suspect the most without being found.

Alfred either playing it off or staring with a raised eyebrow when one of the Batfam asks why/if he's talking to himself.

Jazz can only be turned invisible in the nick of time so many times before somebody finds out about her. "It says here, Ms. Fenton, that you have a brother?" "Yes, Danny. He died. But don't worry, he got better!"

When Tim is forbidden caffeine for a week, Danny drinks his coffee super fast or Dani replaces it with chamomile tea with black food coloring.

Dani: "You know Dick, you really shouldn't do that."

Dick, after a moment of panic, realizing there's nothing in the room with him. "....God?"

Dani, realizing how much chaos she can cause: "yeah, that's me! God."

Danny and Dani take turns being human just to walk past open doors. They all look enough alike to Tim, Dick, Damien, and a young Jason in uncertain light that the rest of the fam has to do double takes.

When someone calls Constantine over as a favor, he takes 2 steps into the manner, says no, and RUNS.

"So I've heard the voice of God, and it sounds like a 14-year-old girl."

"....how hard did Bane hit you again?"

"God says Jason is the one who stole your book."

"...right ok."

Bruce decides he's gonna go be Batman while wounded. He snuck out, so Al calls his Secret Ghost Squad.

Batman is repeatedly interrupted (*cough* saved) by 2 OP glowing metas. Constantine will no longer cross Gotham's borders.

Danny: "You need more ectoplasm. You're a growing half-ghost."

Jason: *shoots the wall* "WHAT THE FUCK WHO WAS THAT?!"

Danny: would you believe it was God?

Jason: NO

Jason figures it out first because he's being parented by a dead guy. He actually doesn't mind that much because he gets to visit the GZ

Cass figures out second because she's observant.

Dick figures it out third by spraying 'God' with paint. He then realizes he attacked an invisible creature that can go through walls with no idea how to fight it.

Tim figures it out by deliberately putting salt in his coffee to see what would happen.

Damien finds Cujo. He is Upset that Cujo already has an owner. Danny tells Damien in exchange for Damien to stop yelling insults at him. (Dani calls him Weak for this, and tells Damien 15 minutes later because he thought she was calling HIM weak and had Opinions)

"Oh shit."

Steph bribes the 'house spirits' for prank help, and then tricks them. They tell her out of Respect.

Duke starts talking to himself about star output on his homework, gets stuck, and SpaceBoi helps. Duke's 10 minutes into stars actually being interesting for once before he realizes he's talking to a ghost.

Bruce has been introduced to them by Jazz. Alfred made her after the 4th sleepless night due to researching the surprise metas.

Dani: its cool dude, but now I have to go prank Tim. Bye!

Vlad shows up for a private meeting with Bruce Wayne. The ghosties reveal themselves in order to kick his ass.

Alfred is the only person who can get away with calling Danny 'Daniel' and Dani 'Danielle'. Anyone else has Serious Regrets.

The Joker breaks Alfred's leg in a bombing. He's never seen again. Danny, Dani, and Jazz are a little TOO innocent

[vladdyissues]

I once read the post where Vlad said: "This anime is obviously a romantic school comedy! Danny and I are the main characters, so it means we are love interests. (to Jazz, Tuck, Sam) You guys are the heterosexual support cast, so make sure do not across the line" (I saved screenshot but Idk how to add photo in ask). Developing the subject, how do you see this anime au? Sailor moon alike relationship? Should it also be a horror cause of creepy natural ghosts?

I've never seen Sailor Moon so I can't comment, but it definitely seems like Danny Phantom was heavily influenced by Yu Yu Hakusho, so it wouldn't take a lot of mental gymnastics to envision an anime version of DP being a lot like this, mixing humor and drama and the supernatural. I'd love to see some actual horror thrown in, though. Animes like Vampire Hunter D and Bio-Booster Armor Guyver come to mind. Guyver's not actually billed as horror, but there's enough body horror, gore, and horror elements in it to qualify, in my opinion. I mean, look at this thing, it's terrifying:

Aside: This ask got me nostalgic for Guyver and I went and watched a few episodes. (The last time I saw it was in the 90s on VHS.) I was floored. There is so much it has in common with DP that I wonder if Hartman wasn't inspired by it as well.

Compare: the black-haired, blue-eyed MC (Sho) who's not the best student, had a disfiguring experience involving something with lots of power and now has two different personas, human and non-human, the latter having incredible strength and unearthly energy that he uses to combat threatening entities that are Not Of This World; best friends are a glasses-wearing geek and a girl who's also the show's love interest, completing the trio. Of course Sho spends a great deal of time protecting his friends, but they also cheer him on from the sidelines and offer help when able, much like Tucker and Sam.

But get this: The only other person with a Guyver armor happens to be the villain (spoiler: not really the villain, it's all an act, and eventually they team up). This is the guy:

Long hair. V-hairline. Sideburns. Thick black eyebrows. The English dub isn't that good, but this guy's voice is deep and nice to listen to. He's supposed to be a student but looks like he's 35.

Anyway. DP anime.

I don't see much changing at all plot-wise. Upping the rating to at least PG-13 is definitely prescribed, so there can be things like blood and fantasy violence and adult humor. Let Danny say "hell", "damn", "bastard", and the occasional "shit", like in YYH. Naturally, Vlad and Danny would start out as rivals before laying aside their differences and teaming up to save the world—which is exactly the formula that YYH and BBAG follow in terms of enemies-to-allies.

I'm imagining a steady progression of saving each other's butts and fighting increasingly powerful enemies until it comes to a point that they both realize they'd die for each other. (Literally Kuwabara and Yusuke lmao.)

In fact, just do a DP/YYH wardrobe swap for all the characters, because Dan Dan Phantom Show is something I'd pay money to see 😂

please finish the Danny phantom and young justice crossover it’s so interesting!

Oh I’m so glad you like it! It’s crazy how much reception it’s gotten! So here’s installion #3 of:

YJ/DP Crossover 3

The thing about getting slapped in the face with several gallons of ejected ectoplasm is that it tends to have some…. adverse affects. To say the least.

Apparently hyperactive ghost-teens was one of them.

The team spent the better part of the afternoon trying to get Phantom to plant his feet on the ground for more than a couple seconds. He, on the other hand, spent the entire time flying loops around them shouting ‘I have a sister!’

Robin drew the line at being swept into the air himself. No seriously, he reflexively shot his grapple line into the dirt and anchored himself. He was still alive and wanted to stay that way, please and thank you.

“Phantom! Put me down!” Robin shouted from where Phantom was flying in circles like a leashed dog.

“Huh? Oh, sorry Rob,” Phantom started lowering them to the ground, “I’m just so excited! I have a sister!”

“We heard, Phantom.”

“Oh, I’m so excited for you! You know, on Mars I had several siblings and many sisters! I can’t wait to meet yours!” M’gann said with a bright smile, floating up to hug Phantom while Robin reloaded his grapple line with a scowl.

“I bet she looks like you M’gann! You both have red hair, just like Wally does! Do you think she has freckles? What if I had red hair? I wonder if we look alike? I can’t wait to meet her!”

Robin doubts Phantom was a redhead, the black smudges that had marred his glowing-bleach white hair were probably closer to his original color. Another thing to add to his data folder. He didn’t need another ginger in his life anyways. Please.

Aqualad steps forward, ever the voice of reason, “Perhaps you’re getting ahead of yourself here, Phantom. Do you even know her name?”

Phantom deflates, dipping slightly in the air, “Well, no, but I’m sure I can remember right? I mean, she’s my sister, how could I forget her?” Phantom lands heavily, “People don't just forget family, Aqualad.”

Aqualad looks like he wants to backtrack, but Artemis jumps in for him, slinging an arm over Phantom’s shoulder, “Don’t worry Phantom, if anyone’s gonna reunite you with a long lost sister it’s me, I’ve got the first-hand experience and track record to prove it.”

Phantom looks at her hesitantly. Robin really wishes they’d mentioned what’d happened before Phantom had joined the team but it’s a little late now.

“You sure?”

Artemis struggles not to let her smile falter, “Absolutely, but Aqualad is right, we should start with a name, any chance you can try to remember?

“Uhhh, I think it starts with a J? Or maybe an M? A V? Actually it might be-“

“You can’t just list the whole alphabet, Phantom.” Superboy growls.

“We’ll I’m sorry,” Phantom snapped, “not all of us got our memories perfectly implanted in our brains, Superboy.”

Superboy stepped forward to argue back, quickly stopped by Robin speaking up, “You said J first, does the name Jazz sound familiar? You’ve said it before when-“

“I-yes!” He shoots up into the air right above their heads, “That’s her! That’s her name! Her name is Jazz! Her name is Jazz and she has red hair and she doesn’t have freckles and she always wears a blue headband and….” Phantom’s voice slows. He droops in the air, putting a hand to his forehead, “ugghhh… I don’t feel so great anymore guys…” he groans and droops again, landing shakily on his feet.

“Phantom!”

“It’s all right, yeah I’m fine, I just got a monster headache.” Phantom tries to shake it off, “I swear guys, I’m totally, completely… fine.”

There’s an impressive thud as he hits the ground like an unconscious sack of ghost potatoes.

The team is by his side in seconds, but when they touch him, their hands come away with a film of dark green slime on them. It’s coming from Phantom’s skin, like sweat? Robin takes a sample and stores it right next to the bright green sample in his belt.

And then once again the team is rushing to the bioship, this time a limp Phantom in Superboy’s arms.

Unbeknownst to them, as the team flies away, deep below the dairy farm, an empty portal stutters to life.

A low growl echoes through the air.

this is how we disappear [danny phantom]

@silvermoonphantom is this creepy? i tried...

A few days after. After. Y’know. There's a crackle over the intercom, and the Principal says, Students, please report to the auditorium in ten minutes. Thank you.

Danny shares bewildered looks with Sam and Tucker, but Mr. Lancer is clearing his throat, and the rest of the class are getting up from their seats, packing up. They follow suit, pressing out into the hallway in some semblance of order. Class after class slowly fill the space as they all make their way to the gym, stand after stand filling with confused and worried looks alike. Their class ends up in the back of a row of bleachers, and Danny blinks out over the sea of students.

“Wonder what's up,” Tucker muses, eyes glued to his PDA. He taps the screen, types something. “Don't see anything on the news, but.”

Sam shrugs, and Danny echoes the gesture. “Nothing good, I think,” she says, and makes a sharp gesture at Paulina two rows over, separated from the bulk of their class but surrounded by solemn faced friends. Kwan and Starr are missing from this picture. “Her mascara is running.”

Dread kindles in Danny’s chest.

“Hello everyone,” comes the Principal after the last class has seated, but no one verbally answers. “I, unfortunately, don't have good news to have you all skipping class right now.” He clears his throat, and licks his lips. “It's with a heavy heart I must announce the passing of a fellow student. He was the darling of our football team, Dash Baxter.”

Danny flinches amid the cries of people around him. Tucker sits straighter beside him, but Sam. Sam just stares ahead, unblinking, lips pressed firmly together.

“Starr DeLisle and Kwan Sie were witness to his passing, and as such are not present today. Please give them the respect they deserve when they return,” he continues, grimacing at the room now full of crying teenagers. “Anyone who needs to go home, please talk to your teacher, and we'll make sure your parents pick you up. I'm sorry, everyone, I really am.”

Everyone disassembles right after that. There are people crying, and some blank faced but trailing after teachers. Danny feels lost amongst these people who actually care about Dash, who know him outside of the bully that he is. Knew, was.

“C’mon,” Sam suddenly says, grabbing hold of both him and Tucker. She leads them toward the underneath of the bleachers, where she then sneaks them out of a door.

They don't go home. Not until later, once the sun is beginning to go down, and Danny has eight different messages from his parents and Jazz. They skip the rest of the day at the park, spend it mainly just. Sitting. Together. Pressed close against the beat of the dwindling sun, the fall breeze.

“I don't remember going to bed last night,” Danny says. He must have been too tired, he'd even woken up in yesterday’s clothes.

“We know,” Tucker replies, eyes shut and head lolling back onto the bench.

Sam puts an arm over Danny’s shoulders, and he eases at the half hug. “Don't worry about it,” she murmurs.

Danny doesn't worry about it.

It seems to be the beginning of a trend, though. The years creep by, but so does the amount of people who seem to end up dead. Or missing. Or moved away, if they're lucky enough. Kwan. Starr. Julie from math. Jared from earth science. Jackie from homeroom. Chaim from World History. Lamel from Spanish. Mr. Lancer, last year. A mayor his parents knew, two years ago. People continue to drop like flies, every funeral closed casket, and before Danny knows it, it's the spring of his graduation year.

There's barely two handfuls left to his entire graduating class.

These years haven't been kind, not at all. Sam’s parents threaten to move, but she threatens to run away if they do, come straight back to Amity Park. Tucker’s parents actually do, but only a city over. Danny and Sam see him on the weekend as often as they can once she learns to drive and Jazz takes pity on them, and it's not the same, but then again… nothing seems to be. His own parents make noises a few times of uprooting, but never do. The portal is too important, so they just load Danny up with funny looking weapons, people and ghost orientated. Not that they've ever seen a ghost, just the remains of one or another. Something's been eating them, his parents think. Might even be behind people going missing, turning up dead.

No one believes them though, but.

Danny might. He just… just might.

“Sam,” he croaks, riddled with nerves. He hasn't been sleeping. He can't be sleeping. Jazz has gone missing. “Sam, Sam, I think—”

She presses a finger to her lips, and he quiets. “I know,” she says, but his eyes are suddenly fixed on her fingernail.

The paint is chipped, the underneath dark with something, with something.

“I don't remember going to bed last night,” he insists, but she's turned back to looking at the sky above them, blanket wrapped around her shoulders. Danny can't feel the cold seeping up from the hood of the car. “I don't—” I don't remember a lot of things, now.

“Tucker took care of it, don't worry about it,” Sam says, smiles, and it startles a laugh out of Danny when a particularly loud snore slips out from the car’s barely open back window.

It's spring break. They're graduating soon.

Danny stops worrying about it.
