#not!evil vlad plasmius

[one-thousand-and-one-fandoms]

Based off of this post.

Headcanon that back in college Jack and Maddie weren't dating yet, and maybe Vlad had drunkenly confessed to loving Maddie to Jack, but being drunk Jack didn't remember (or did he?) and after Vlad got hospitalized and they drifted apart, Jack married Maddie and they had two children.

So, after "abandoning" him and seemingly getting together, Vlad felt hurt and betrayed by both, but still loved and missed them dearly and wished things had happened differently.

Therefore, he tries to reconnect with both before the reunion in Canon and they get back in touch. Maddie and Jack don't apologize or even acknowledge that they hurt Vlad, something he grows to resent deeply.

As such, Vlad meets Jazz and Danny earlier at a younger age, way before the portal was a thing and Danny became a halfa. Vlad decides that the best way to get back at Maddie and Jack is through their kids, because what parent doesn't care for and love their child?

However, as Vlad gets closer to try to turn the kids against their parents, he realizes that he doesn't have to try that hard at all. Maddie and Jack are so focused on their ghost research that they often neglect their house and their kids. Vlad starts coming around more often, partly because he still wants revenge but also partly out of concern for them.

As Uncle Vlad becomes closer to Jazz and Danny, Vlad realizes that Maddie and Jack really are clueless buffoons and that they haven't got a clue about the consequences of their actions. It makes it harder to hold a grudge even if it hurts like a bitch because they should notice when their loved ones are hurting because of their actions.

But they don't. So Vlad helps Jazz with her schoolwork, not that she needs it, and listens to her psychobabble and listens to Danny go on and on about space and being an astronaut and Vlad really grows to love them both.

Then the portal happens, and Danny half-dies, and Vlad immediately notices that something is wrong because this 14-year-old kid died and no one seems to have noticed.

Vlad then decides to reveal his ghost self to Danny in an attempt to help Danny feel less alone, less isolated and less afraid because he lives with ghost hunters who'd love nothing more than to dissecr him for science.

This Danny knows Uncle Vlad, and trusts him, and allows himself to be mentored by someone he sees more like a father than his own.

Danny meets the Justice League, but they are mostly just confused, cause they think he has two kids with his arch enemy.

How that misunderstanding happened is actually pretty simple.

Wonder Woman first meet Elle(Dani). And she mentions that one of her parents is also a superhero. She also mentions that the other is evil business man.

Danny don't really correct Elle when she calls him Dad. Even if he is way to young to be her father.

The Justice League thinks that to but then realize that Danny has ghost powers and they could infect his aging.

Later they meet Dan(or Vladiel) and since Danny is his past version he just calls him "old man" when he is bored.

He does the same thing with Vlad.

Danny just explains that the adult one is from the future. Cause he thinks it's pretty obvious what he is.

So the Justice League thinks it's pretty clear Danny Phantom has two kids with his arch nemesis and needs an intervention of how to pick a good partner.

I'm sorry I just had to get the possibility of every one gets confused by Elle and Dan out of my system.

The mf who will never own the packers! I love his messy ponytail sm, he deserves it in ghost form too. I think in human form, it still moves a bit more animatedly than normal, and in ghostly form it straight up moves like it's underwater or a slow-mo fire crackling.

oouohugh im so normal about him

and this trend persisted until the i (the artist) died. the end.

The idea of a somewhat inversed badger cereal dynamic where Danny really wants Vlad as his mentor but Vlad doesn't want anything to do with this 14 year old teen sounds kinda of funny and adorable.

Danny just keeps asking and insisting to this wet cat of a man that gets drunk every other Friday if he can teach him how to use his ghost powers and he is happy to see that there is another halfa like him, older and more experienced.

And Vlad reminds Danny every time that he isn't going to mentor him but over time he starts to change his mind about it.

[lixxen]

I want a story where Dan sees Danny as a human and he just freezes for a split second. The Vlad part of Dan feeling kinship and mourning with the poor boy and the Phantom part of Dan suddenly feeling remorse and fear. The memories of Dan walking away from Danny, human half of Vlad scrambling to scoop him into his arms, flashing in front of his eyes as he stared at Danny. Ten years of anger, fear, and compartmentalizing one's own feelings freeing themselves as he stares at what he used to be before he turned himself into a monster

Dan may of killed the human half of Danny Fenton; but that doesn't mean he can't feel human emotions.

guys, guys i've had a wonderfully devious idea!

imagen if you will, a gala in metropolis hosted by lex, he invites all the rich and snobby, when across the room someone catches his eye. who is this silver fox? Lex simply must introduce himself, he makes his way through the crowd. Its none other than Vlad Masters. The two hit it off instantly with their shared interests in cloning their black haired, blue eyed enemies and being evil and creepy and what not.

anyway i just think Vlad x Lex is a greatly underappreciated ship lol

[tryymr]

he is a little (???) nightmare

[one-thousand-and-one-fandoms]

[Part 1]

Vlad tensed up with his hand up to knock. There was a ghost around his people. His hackles rose. How dared they?! Who dared?!

In a move that was instinct than choice, Vlad turned himself invisible and walked the perimeter. He couldn't find whoever or whatever it was that triggered his ghost sense, but he still felt uneasy.

He returned to the door, fixed his hair and knocked. Jazz opened the door with a smile and gave him a hug. From the basement came loud, indistinguishable sounds, but those were indication enough that Maddie and Jack were down there. Vlad looked around for his little badger, but didn't find him.

"Where's your brother?" Vlad asked. Jazz stiffened at the question and looked uncomfortable, and Vlad's uneaseness grew, "Jasmine, where is he?"

"He's in his bedroom," Jazz said and looked nervous, "he's not feeling well today."

Vlad raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is he sick? Does need to go to the doctor?"

Jazz huffed, exasperated, "I've been trying to convince him to go for days, but he won't listen! The only people he talks to now are Sam and Tucker ever since-"

Jazz stopped herself and looked at Vlad with wide eyes. Clearly, she didn't intend to say something that had slipped out.

"Since when, Jazz?" Vlad asked, concerned.

"Mom and dad said we didn't need to worry you," Jazz replied, instead.

"Let me decide if whatever happened is worth worrying about by myself," Vlad snapped, losing patience. Jazz seemed taken aback by it, but cowed enough to spill the beans.

"Danny had an accident down in the lab a few days ago," Jazz confessed. Vlad froze. Of course Danny would have an accident the week he couldn't be there. Worry gnawed at him.

"What kind of accident?" He asked.

"We don't know!"

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"No one was home when it happened. My parents finished their stupid portal but it didn't work. Or so we thought. When we came back it was working but Danny wouldn't come out of his room. It wasn't even him who told us something happened, but Sam," Jazz ranted and her worry was evident.

"And what did your parents do?"

"Nothing! Said he must be fine if he was able to walk up to his room! I tried to talk to him but he won't talk to me," Jazz replied and tears formed in the corner of her eyes. Vlad hugged her briefly, hoping to comfort her. He didn't know what was going on. The portal shouldn't be working at all, so he'd have to threaten Technus again, but that was after he found out what really happened to Danny. Vlad was hoping for a laceration that could be stitched up.

"I'll go see him. Maybe he'll talk to me."

Jazz huffed, but agreed, "Maybe."

Vlad walked up the stairs and stood in front of Danny's door. The hairs on his arm stood on end, and his ghost core flared up. Something was wrong, it screamed at him. He knocked. No answer.

"Little badger?" Vlad asked as he knocked again. This time he heard a rustling sound, but the door didn't open and Danny didn't call out. "Jazz told me what happened. I'm worried about you. Can I see you?"

"Uncle Vlad..." Danny's voice came from the other side, muffled, but Vlad was happy to get any verbal response, "go away."

"No can do, Little Badger. I want to make sure you're ok."

"I'm fine."

"You don't sound fine."

The door was yanked open, and Vlad had to stop himself from reacting outwardly. Danny was most definitely not fine. He had deep, purple bags under his eyes, which were bloodshot, and his hair was disheveled as if he hadn't bothered with it for days. And he probably hadn't. Not when he had more pressing matters to attend to; matters that now Vlad knew because his core resonated and told him that there was another ghost in front if him.

"See?" Danny said with a glare, "I'm fine. Now leave me alone."

Danny went to close the door but Vlad wasn't above using his extra strength to push through anyway. Danny yelped, clearly surprised. Vlad rounded on him, seeing red. His core didn't like a strange ghost near his people, but it didn't seem to realize that the ghost was one of his people, yet.

"Uncle Vlad?" Danny asked and he sounded scared. It echoed some long buried memory of waking up in the hospital, afraid and alone, forgotten and abandoned.

"What have they done?!" Vlad exploded, unable to help himself. Danny closed the door quickly, as if that could muffle Vlad's voice, or as if Jack and Maddie could hear all the way down to the lab and give a fucking damn.

"What are you talking about, Uncle Vlad?" Danny asked and Vlad couldn't decide if the boy was trying to play dumb or if he was genuinely confused.

"Don't lie to me, Daniel. What happened in the lab?" Vlad demanded, though he already had an idea.

Danny flinched. If Vlad was calling him Daniel it meant trouble.

"Nothing!"

"Don't lie to me," Vlad repeated.

"What makes you think it's their fault anyway?" Danny deflected.

Because it always is, Vlad thought, but said, "Because this wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened!"

"And what does 'this' mean, exactly?" Danny replied, crossing his arms and attempting a glare. But Vlad recognized the bait for information for what it was and felt a vein pulse on his forehead.

"That's not how it works, little badger. You want information? Then tell me the truth. All of it. And then I'll tell you what I know," Vlad said. Danny clammed up. Vlad noticed his fists clenching where they were crossed. Vlad pinched the bridge of his nose and forced himself to take a deep, long breath. Then another one. And another one. Until he felt he wouldn't blast Jack and Maddie Fenton to Mars if they knocked on the door right then.

Then he looked at Danny, who seemed to have realized that while Vlad was angry, furious really, it wasn't at him. Now, Danny just looked scared, and a bit lost.

"Danny, I want to help you," Vlad said, struggling to push his anger away to be dealt with later, "and I know you must be scared. However, I also know something happened to you, something that changed you, so lying is only wasting both of our times."

Danny met Vlad's eyes, only to turn away. The crossed arms in front of him turned from a shield to a hug to himself as Danny drew in on himself. For the first time, Vlad was seeing how Danny really felt and his heart went out to the teen.

"You're going to hate me," Danny said, and turned away from Vlad.

"Oh, little badger," Vlad said and took a step towards Danny with the intention of doing... something: a hug, a comforting pat on the shoulder, something, but Danny recoiled and flinched and Vlad stopped with his hand still hovering in the air, "I could never hate you."

"Your best friends are ghost hunters," Danny spat, and then paled, as if he had said something he shouldn't. If Vlad was someone else, perhaps, but as it was, Vlad thought he knew exactly what was wrong.

Vlad realized that demanding answers would get him nowhere with Danny. Neither would intimidation. Danny was scared and probably wanted to feel safe. If Vlad wanted Danny to trust him, Vlad had to show Danny that he could.

Vlad sat on Danny's bed and tried to make himself look as unthreatening as possible.

"Do you want to know why I stopped ghost hunting?" Vlad asked. The question took Danny by surprised and intrigued him.

"Why?"

"Twenty years ago your parents and I went to college together," Vlad answered, "we began working then on a prototype for the ghost portal your parents are so obsessed with today."

"Twenty years ago?" Danny asked, flabbergasted.

"Twenty years ago."

"But they didn't succeed."

"They kind of did," Vlad reluctantly admitted, "I want to clarify that I'm not saying this so you'll think bad of your parents Danny, but so that you understand. What happened then was an accident that could have and should have been prevented with the right safety measures, and it makes me furious that in the twenty years since they haven't improved in that regard."

Danny uncrossed his arms and sat down next to Vlad. Vlad could tell he was listening intently.

"There was an accident," Vlad continued, "and I received a lot of ectoplasm and radiation to my face. I spent the following months in the hospital, but I had... changed."

Danny kept his eyes on Vlad when he asked, "Changed how?"

"I became this," Vlad said and transformed into Plasmius in front of Danny. Immediately, Danny transformed into a ghost, too. Whether it was the resonance of their core or a voluntary transformation was unclear.

"You're a ghost, too?" Danny asked, his voice whispy and small.

"Half ghost," Vlad clarified, "what happened little badger?"

Danny's eyes teared up and he looked away, but he answered this time, "It was a dare."

"A dare?"

"The portal wasn't working. It was supposed to have failed! Sam dared me to go inside and I thought it would be okay because their inventions never work but..."

"But this time it did, didn't it?"

"It was so stupid! Who even puts the on switch on the inside of the machine?! I tripped over something and turned it on and then... and then..."

"Oh, Danny," Vlad said and brought Danny close. This time Danny allowed himself to be held as he began to cry and sob.

"It hurt, Uncle Vlad," Danny said, "it hurt so bad, but I couldn't tell my friends, or Jazz, or my parents. My friends already felt so guilty, and Jazz would only worry, and my parents... they would want to... to... I'm scared, Uncle Vlad."

"You are allowed to be scared, upset and angry. Just know that you don't have to do this alone, okay?"

Danny was quiet for a moment, sniffled, and then quietly said, "Okay."

"Can you change back, now?"

"I-I'll try..."

"Focus on your core, Danny, and will it to hide," Vlad said and tried to be encouraging.

"I don't know what that means."

"Close your eyes," Vlad said and Danny did so, "is there a part of you that feels hotter or colder than the rest of you?"

Danny's brow furrowed as he focused, and then he nodded.

"You're going to give it a little push, just enough so that it hides and lets you revert back to human," Vlad continued.

Danny's face scrunched up, and soon the familiar rings of light washed over Danny and he was human again. Danny opened his eyes in awe.

"I did it!"

"You did," Vlad agreed, feeling pride welling up in his core, "for the record, I am sorry this happened to you, Danny. This is in no way your fault, and I'll help you through this."

"Can I go live with you?" Danny blurted out.

"I wish you could, but I believe that would arouse more suspicions than we want at the moment."

"But my parents..."

"They won't touch you, okay? I promise you that I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe," Vlad interrupted.

"But you aren't here half the time... you were gone one week and now look at me!"

"I know, and I'm sorry Danny. I'll try to come by more often, but even if I'm not here, I'll make sure you have the means to get away if you feel in danger, okay? I'll also give you a key to my house, so you know you always have a safe place to land on," Vlad insisted.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay."

"Good. How about we go out for dinner, then? I think we deserve it," Vlad said with a grin.

"Burgers?" Danny asked in return with small smile of his own.

"Deal."

When you think your son is lawfully good but in truth he is a chaotic evil bastard XD #dannyphantom #vladmasters #vladplasmius #oc

[vladdyissues]

Still not over the fact that Vlad Masters—the dastardly evil murderous #1 primo villain in Danny Phantom—started crying when Danny said he wanted him to be his new dad.

[lilianade-comics]

One of my favorite things about Vlad Masters/Plasmius is how fan art (generally) depicts him as being menacing, dangerous, and often very attractive/sexy/big dilf energy/etc. But then you step away and realize that canonically, about 80% of the time, Vlad looks exactly like this:

"did ya?"

"What?!"

Can’t wait for unhinged father-son duo Vlad & Dan
