Dannymay 2022- Day 17 Promise

Danny remembered the day his mother made her first promise to him. At 8 years old Danny walked up to him Mom pulling on her hazmat suit nervously shaking with tears falling down his face staining his cheeks.

"M-Mommy?" His voice quivered as his eyes stared down at his little pink shoes and frilly socks.

"What's wrong baby?" Maddie dropped down to her knees and lifted his head up to let their eyes meet. "You can tell me sweetie." Her voice was sweet as honey and full of concern as her thumbs tried to wipe away his tears off his cheeks only for them to be replaced.

"I can't have pigtails anymore." He whispered before wrapping his arms around her neck as tears turned into sobs.

"Do you want braids then? Or to have your hair down? What do you want?" Maddie didn't know why her daughter was so upset over pigtails but would support her no matter what.

"No! No, no, no, no, no!" Danny shouted shaking his head into his mother's neck.

"Okay, okay," Maddie said trying to calm her heartbroken child down. "What do you want?"

"I, I want my hair short. And," Danny paused trying to catch his breath and figure out how he wanted to say it, "I don't want dresses, don't wanna be Danielle anymore. Can, can I be Danny with a y? Please?"

"Oh baby!" Maddie grabbed her baby and hugged them as tight as possible without hurting them. "Are, are you saying that you're a boy? Or something else? What, do you need?"

"I-I'm a boy. I think, but I think so. I want to be." Danny stuttered out now nervous and panicking. "Is that okay?"

"Of course baby!" Maddie assured, "I promise no matter what, and I mean that, NO. MATTER. WHAT. I will always love you! I promise!"

"Okay, thank you Mommy! I love you!"

"Of course!"

-----

Danny remembered the first time his father did too. He was trying to hide his growing chest with bandages when his father burst into his room.

"Danny boy! Guess- Oh!" Jack quickly turned around trying to give his son privacy. He full heatedly supported his son and made it a point to make sure his son was treated like a son after he came out.

"Ahh! Dad, umm, uhhh. I, I think I need help." Danny huffed out both embarrassed and completely done with these bandages not working and giving him incredible aches and pains.

"You, you do? Is it like, uhhh, puberty issues? I got sock puppets for that!" Jack piped up like a eager puppy. "Wait right here and I can get the sock puppet box!"

"No! No, no, no, no. I don't need- it not about that. Well, sort of but, no, I don't need the sock puppets!" He stuttered out completely flustered at this point.

"Well, umm, what do you need then son?"

"Umm, well, you see, errr well not see see, but. I'm twelve and my chest is kinda..."

"Oh. Oh! And you don't want or like that?"

"Yeah, so umm I was trying to tape, uhh well use tape to make it not look like, uhhh, that but..."

"It's not working out like you planned?"

"Yeah," Danny sighed out.

"Don't worry son! I may know a thing or two about things not working out on the first try but you know what the best part of being a Fenton man is?" Jack pipped up.

"Ummm, eating fudge?" Danny joked with a smirk.

"Oh that's definitely a part of the gig, but the best part is that when we fail, we get back up and try again! Fenton tech doesn't always work the first round but me and your mom always try again and again to get it working to protect you kiddos!"

"So, what do we do with, uhh," Danny gestured to his now covered chest.

"Well, we can search up some options! See what's out there on that internet to see can help you out!"

"Hey, umm, thanks Dad. You know for, all of this, and umm, helping me out."

"Of course son! I promise just say the word and I'll come to your rescue! I promise I'll always help you, no matter what!"

----------

Maybe Danny should have kept it a secret. Maybe he could have kept it to himself like a secret identity. But his parents promised they would love him no matter what. They promised to always help him no matter what. But when he told them about the portal incident and his ability to turn into weird ghost version of himself, he thought they would love him. He thought they would help him. That's what they promised they would do. No matter what they said. No matter what they promised.

But after begging for them to let him go as he was restrained against a lab table, after crying out for it to stop as their experiments tore him apart, after pleading for food and water he realized that they wouldn't keep their promises. He should have never trusted something as trivial as a promise.

Hi Randy I am also enjoying Heckblazer and a Danny Phantom crossover popped into my head and won’t leave

FJKDLS;AJFKL, okay so confession time, i had a solid like??? 3 months in HS when i just LIVED danny phantom (bc i was rlly nostalgic for it+other interests were waning at the time) like.... i had a choice of going to junior prom or marathoning DP for the first time in a near decade and i chose to do a DP marathon and i still dont regret it fjdksal;

g o d okay, easiest way to cross 'em over would be to have Constantween & Zee like, visiting Amity Park bc (something something, hunting a ghost of their own/finding a way to placate the ghosts that ran john outta england/idk just bc??? field trip lmao). it would make a really easy & rlly cute crossover no matter what & esp keeping in mind that like, John n Zee are middle schoolers iirc but Danny & his gang are freshman, it could add a rlly fun layer to dynamics in the groups too, maybe have John n Zee teaming up with Dani and causing chaos ehh >:D

Butch Hartman is a prick, and here are the reasons why...

alright i really am not a person who hates on other people. Or starts a hate thread. I wanted to keep this blog hate-free for as long as i can remember. But recent events made me finally decide that its time to spread this specific message. if you are not interested in this topic, feel free to scroll past this.

so buckle up, its gonna be a wild ride

you know Butch Hartman. He is the guy who had the idea for Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, Tuff Puppy and Bunsen is a Beast. In his words, he created your childhood. Now I for myself had much respect for this guy and i followed his social media presence for a very long time. 

disclaimer, i dont know Butch Hartman personally, i am only listing things he did on his social media accounts and stated within his videos.

First off, his youtube channel. 

I unsubscribed for the sole reason that he is the king of clickbait. He uses his old shows to gain views and get subscribers. He also uses memes, other youtubers and extreme clickbait to advertise his own social media presence and such. 

i mean, just look at this

but thats only the mildest part about this whole ideal

more important, is his current project, called Oaxis

Oaxis is a streaming service, for which Butch started a kickstarter for. He wanted to raise 250000 dollars for it. He offered different services for people who donated 100$, 1000$, 10000$ and so on. i am not really articulate and since i unfollowed him a long time ago, i dont know EVERYTHING about this project. tho i know just how fishy it sounded at the beginning. To understand how absolutely RIDICULOUS this service is, watch this video

Butch Hartman SUCKS: In the Fairly Oddparents style  by Scorchle

Now that you know what he is up to, lets start with the more shitty stuff

People who are in the danny phantom fandom for years now, may know this already but:

Butch Hartman is transphobic

years ago, he shut down comments and even blocked people for mentioning their headcanons and fanart about danny being trans. i sadly do not have a source for that but it many people can back this up. and most recently, he tweeted this

notice, how the she is written like “this” . he then proceeded to advertise his own network. seriously, thats just so shitty. Also this tweet doesnt exist anymore.

now i am listing some things he actually did:

He can’t take critique and said “if you didnt do anything big, you arent allowed to criticize me” when being asked something not nice about his kickstarter

he said introverts are antisocial selfish people who make everything awkward

he said depression is not a real desease

he used suicide to advertise for his new streaming site

all in all he is a real shitty person

here are some sources that prove he is a prick

https://twitter.com/phantom_memes/status/1019755481617829893?s=21

a whole twitter thread proving this fact

https://youtube.com/watch?v=l4e3iaXW-aY

a video which states some facts about his kickstarter scam

https://twitter.com/mayhem_crimson/status/1019825676612972544

a tweet where he uses suicide to promote his kickstarter and he blames the media for it

https://twitter.com/RiseFallNick/status/1019611920750522368

the transphobic tweet again

https://twitter.com/pengicitis/status/1019627651185639425

where he says, introverts are antisocial

if you want to know more, look at @RiseFallNick and @mayhem_chrimson on twitter, they pretty much got it all covered up, and if you still need proof, look up Butch hartman on twitter. you cant miss it

i dont know how much respect you have for this dude, or if you ever had respect. i dont know how much you care about these issues.. but if you did support him, just know he is really not worth it.

Every week, we pick a new episode of the week. It could be good. It could be bad. It will always be interesting. You can read the archives here. The episode of the week for September 16 through 22 is “Visitor” the fourth episode of Facebook Watch’s Sorry for Your Loss.

Sorry for Your Loss puts the peak in peak TV.

It airs on a platform new to the prestige programming game (Facebook Watch). It stars a genuine movie star (Elizabeth Olsen). It seems primarily made to appeal to TV critics, its subject matter is incredibly niche, and its first-week viewership seems destined to prove nobody’s watching these streaming shows. (As I write this, barely 20,000 people have watched the series’ fourth episode, by Facebook’s notoriously unreliable view count.)

But even when you control for the fact that I’m in the show’s core audience of TV critics, Sorry for Your Loss strikes me as something quite special. It has its problems here and there — the subplots about the gym operated by Olsen’s character’s family mostly fall flat — but I get why Facebook Watch made such a big push for this series. It’s delicately observed and emotionally acute, and its first four episodes (all available for free to anyone with a Facebook account) tell a lovely story about a widow’s grief in just under two hours.

I realize “a lovely story about a widow’s grief” doesn’t sound like an easy watch, but the series’ fourth episode, ��Visitor,” is a terrific example of how the show uses its emotional rawness to explore the experience of grief without creating a wallow.

The series is adroit when it comes to exploring how no one person can claim to have a monopoly on grief. Facebook Watch

When Sorry for Your Loss begins, a few months have passed since the death of Matt (Mamoudou Athie, who appears in several flashbacks in each episode). His friends and family still grieve him, especially his wife, Leigh (Olsen), who likely didn’t think she would be a widow so young.

But that word “especially” is a charged one. Sorry takes great pains to dig into how Leigh’s grief is her own, but it is not necessarily greater or more significant than the grief of anyone else who’s lost Matt. In one episode, Matt’s brother, Danny, played by Jovan Adepo, tells Leigh that while she can eventually get another husband, he’ll never get another brother. And while that’s cruel, it’s also true.

This is one of the things that marks good television — the ability to understand the choice of protagonist, while not arbitrary, always centralizes a certain perspective while decentralizing other perspectives that might bring just as much to the table. That understanding is present all over the place in Sorry, which is filtered through Leigh’s perspective but never forgets that all of the other characters, including her sister (Kelly Marie Tran) and mother (Janet McTeer — spot-on “Elizabeth Olsen’s mom” casting), miss Matt, too, in their own ways.

All of this comes to a head unexpectedly in “Visitor,” in which Leigh rescues a seemingly stray dog and takes it in, thus prompting a series of flashbacks to her life with Matt that fill in bits and pieces of the narrative, both on an emotional level and a plot level.

The latter is likely the most significant for the series going forward. Leigh has slowly started to realize, over the course of the first four episodes, that she might not have known her husband as well as she thought. He kept his phone locked, and she doesn’t know the passcode. And why was his credit card in the freezer?

But remembering the dog Matt owned when he first met her — which gradually became the couple’s dog — Leigh realizes what his passcode must have been (the day when the two realized it was best the dog be put down, and Matt saw Leigh for the kind of caring, loving woman he wanted to marry). She unlocks the phone, thus setting up the next handful of episodes (which I’ve seen — they’re good!).

But even more significant are the emotional reveals, and they’re what truly make “Visitor” special. Matt, you see, struggled with depression, and Sorry for Your Loss understands both what differentiates depression from grief, and why it can be so hard for a partner who doesn’t struggle with the condition to understand a partner who does.

Honestly, Janet McTeer looks like she could be Elizabeth Olsen’s mom, right? Facebook Watch

“Visitor” is both the name of the episode and the name of the stray dog Leigh takes in, who scratches up her mother’s house (much to her mother’s disgust) and causes little pieces of destruction all over. But he remains as fundamentally lovable as any good boy would be. By the episode’s end, Visitor’s owner has gotten in touch — something Leigh claims she wanted to happen — thus taking away something else, and prompting her memory of Matt’s dog.

Sure, the dog’s a symbol of all of the ways that Matt’s death still haunts the places he lived and the people who loved him, scratching up the doors and floors and just generally making a mess of their emotions. But the symbol is not clear-cut.

Leigh’s grief might grow less present in time. She might date again and might even marry again. But grief is never going to leave with its “real” owner, the way Visitor does. It’s a shared constant, among those who knew and loved Matt.

The dog is also a symbol of the ways that Leigh never quite understood Matt’s depression, how she tried to help him out using herbal remedies that helped her mom with a bout of postpartum depression. Matt’s depression shared her home, but it was never really hers, and when he died, he took it with him. But she can still see the scratch marks it left.

When I watched “Visitor,” I was worried it was building to a major reveal of Matt committing suicide or something similar, that it was reducing mental illness to a plot twist, but I should have known the series was too smart for that. (Here, I will note that it is created by the playwright Kit Steinkellner and show-run by the unheralded Lizzy Weiss, who turned the series Switched at Birth into a vital examination of American class, despite its gimmicky premise.) Instead, it ends with Leigh unlocking Matt’s phone, looking at the list of messages he hasn’t listened to, still unsure of who her husband really was.

That’s the thing about missing someone — they didn’t need to have a super dramatic hidden life for you to still wonder if you didn’t really know them. All they needed was to be another human being, filled with their own thoughts and emotions and secret fears that kept them up nights, until they were no longer around for you to ask, “Hey, what’s up? Everything okay?”

Even though you might have slept alongside them, might have lived a life, might have loved them deeply, death only makes all the more clear that they were still an ocean, with depths you would never explore.

Sorry for Your Loss is streaming on Facebook. New episodes debut on Tuesdays at 9 pm Eastern.
