Watching Splitting Images and I'm wondering about the dimension that Poindexter is trapped in, because it's filled with other kids from the 50s. Sidney Poindexter's backstory is that he was a real person who died and started haunting one of the lockers at school- but he's also trapped in a dimension that's stuck in the 50s, and it's exclusively a school hallway that seemingly just exists to torment Sidney for all of eternity. He's bullied constantly, nonstop, by his peers. But are his classmates who bully him projections of the memories of his classmates to make eternity feel more real? If they are, how do they know about ghosts? (Like, wouldn't that break the immersion a bit??) They acknowledge that Danny is a Halfa and actually call him "The Halfa," like they all consider Danny's existence common knowledge. So maybe it's more likely that they're ghosts - but there's, like, at least twenty of them, and they're all high schoolers. They would have had to all died at around the same time, right? I wonder if something happened at the school back in the 50s? Some kind of accident?? Or did all those kids actually live into adulthood but LOVED BULLYING SIDNEY SO MUCH that when they died they reverted back to their teenage years just to have a chance at tripping some nerd in the hallways again? I don't know man

Astrotech Dragon Au thoughts compiled
I have apparently made a whole ass au now so here’s a compilation of it since I can’t think of a new flavor of Prisoner’s of Love yet
Parental Bonding: Danny uses his powers like he has a brain and Sam goes on an adventure with Dora while Danny and Tucker explore the world of actually going on a date. Sam winds up with Aragon’s amulet. (Maybe she has to attune with it or something to be able to control it and when it harmonizes with her, it turns her into a smaller dragon which must grow in power)
One of a Kind: Skulker is given the appropriate amount of fear reaction in at least commentary, and Jazz’s interview stunt gets word out about Fentonworks’ technological wonders via the magazine.
Splitting Images: Danny befriends Sidney Poindexter and they prank Dash deviously until Sidney decides to try and just kill Dash to make an example out of him. Danny stops him as Fenton, gaining Dash’s respect and admiration (and perhaps infatuation who knows?)
Attack of the Killer Garage Sale: Dash invites Danny to his party because of The Big Gay, Danny acts the way he did also because of The Big Gay. Dash sees Danny transform, the trio + Sidney convince Technus to abandon world domination (which is lame) and challenge himself to fix the world’s problems through technological innovation.
What you Want: Danny jokingly wishes for a dick when he meets Desiree, who’s wish granting smoke he mistakes for an attack, triggering his first ghostray. Tucker, jealous of Sidney’s new bond with Danny and Danny’s cool powers, wishes to have spirit powers like Danny. Desiree grants this in that Tucker experiences being struck by lightning in a thick cloud of pure ectoplasm. Danny wishes Desiree to the worst part of the deepest pits of the Spirit World and does his best to comfort Tuck through becoming Ghoul.
Bitter Reunions: Vlad’s first reaction to the ghost of a child telling him not to hurt Mr.Masters’ guest is to reveal himself as Mr.Masters. Danny reveals himself in turn. Vlad makes the plan to endear himself to Maddie and Jazz while teaching Danny how to half ghost, and possess Jack every now and then to escalate his behavior into the realm of unbearability for Maddie. Harriet Chin gets the promise of an interview regarding Jack and Maddie’s technology out of them at the party.

I pose this question to the DP fandom: What type of episode do you wish we got more of?
Now before you go off and say things like a “Follow up to TUE” or more “Dani episodes” or “a proper conclusion to Valerie’s arc”, etc. We all know more of those would be good. I want to clarify that I’m not talking about specific characters or plots you wish got continued.
I’m talking about episodes that had a certain vibe, or style to it.
-----------------------
For me it would be episodes like “Splitting images” or “13″ specifically because they feel like ghost stories.
Compare those two to episodes later on like ‘Urban Jungle’. The synopsis to ‘Urban jungle’ feels like it would fit perfectly in other teen superhero shows. That’s cool and all.
But the synopsis to something like ‘Splitting images’ feels like something that would fit perfectly in an old episode of “Are you afraid of the dark?” And I LOVE ghost stories for kids. I wish we got more DP episodes that had that kind of vibe.
-----------------------
I also want to mention “Prisoners of love” for how creepy and unsafe they made the Ghost zone look and feel. We never quite see the ghost zone the same way after that.

Out of everything leading up to s3 I think I’m most excited to see the promo posters. S2 was so blatant and I’m convinced that s3 is going to double down.
