Listen I need y'all to chill for like three days and not post any spoilers about Project Hail Mary! I love the book and convinced my sister to actually go to the movies with me on Wednesday (a fucking feat given she never wants to watch anything except horror films with monsters she can thirst for or the muppets!) I want her to be surprised. She needs to be emotionally fucked over like the rest of us and becoming unhealthy attached in a trauma bond. I get like one nerdy film every 3 years yall dont spoil this for me!
Hear me out but I think the bat family and danny phantom and maybe heros in general should be less pretty. This is a general idea not directed at any one person or peice of art but just in general I think we should draw our heros less pretty and our villians more pretty.
Heros should have scars, cuts, have shaved messy hair with clear muscles and tone. Not ugly person but closer to fighters and athletes. There jobs should reflect what they do, so give them the looks to match, eye bags from late nights, awkward jagged scars or tan lines from when they tried hiding there bandages. And way more body shape to match there fighting style. If your a gun user you better have thoes strong upper body muscles but if your kick boxing you villians I want some thick thighs.
If you got ghost like danny phantom then give me the creepy slightly non human side of being undead. Arms a little too long, eyes a little empty, with sharp teeth and skeleton just barely peaking under the skin corpse bride style ya know.
Villians however, make them prettier. Not all of them but guys like Lex Luthor got a whole as team of pr people to air brush him, and if you got a team of Henchmen men then your villian can just sit and look pretty.
Ello im back at it again throwing this out there because I have 0 free time to write and want to leave the idea out there for another to adopt. Simply put i think danny should develop a thats not my problem attitude to anything and everything outside of amity.
Hear me out cause it can go so many directions. Maybe its just just Danny walking in Gotham coming across a bat family member and instead of doing the normal "i see you've been swimming in the bad death goop, 0/10 dont recommend, let me just fix this for you." Instead he just looks at them and goes eww, nope not my issues. No anwsers for them.
Maybe its the league fighting a real big bad and like danny could move. He could help fight. But like he could just ignore the big bad and the heros. Pop in and head phones and walk on by. Hes a ghost they cant stop him. Just gives them the full downtown walking by the local meth head, eyes forward no acknowledgement.
Or even end of the world doomsday event. This is all hands, people freaking out, news alerts are out, but see Danny's got a long weekend and good authority (clockwork) that its a false alarm. So no he will not be putting on his pants. Hes going sit right here, eat his pizza and play Minecraft and no death worm god on its way to devour earth will stop him.
Idea for random game that I think would be cool is one of thoes other worlds stories but instead of just a person getting layed out by truck kun it be fun if it was a whole food truck. Like as a game or story you run a food truck late night by yourself then one day truck kun comes by and bam you and this food truck are now in the middle of this fantasy dungeon. Now you got to balance both making food for hungry adventures but also gathering supplies and exploring the dungeon to upgrade your truck. Think mashing together papa's pizzeria food mini games and dungeon crawling and fighting while getting a fun little food truck to decorate and some silly characters. Unlocking better stuff the deeper into the dungeon you get.
Im only good at basic coding for simple platforming and top down shooting but maybe if I get better ill come back to this one day
Just realized this and im kinda surprise more crossovers dont have cat women be the one figure out Dannys there or talking to him. Like shes got cat powers, why not extended it so next times Danny's doing his little ghost thing and maybe hiding in the manor or stalking a bat its cat women that notices. Get Bruce and the kids worried shes drugged cause she keeps freezing and staring at the corner slightly hissing. Or Pam and Harley concern after she stops in the middle of the street to get low and growl at an empty alley way. Just a idea...
Ok throwing this out there, I think it be funny if Danny was a 100% tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist, but only about the dumbest shit. He grew up with ghost hunting parents, met a genie, his doctor is a yeti, theres a secret government agency tailing him, and his God father clone him, so yes ofcourse Bigfoot is real, and the birds are spies.
It makes so much sense for him to just believe this and restate it as fact, but the best would be when he says he doesn't believe in batman. Just imagine him held hostage on stage, tied up while the villian of the week tells him batman cant save him and then theres danny like no shit Sherlock everyone knows batman isnt real. Doesn't matter what the villian says Danny refuses to believe in batman. The robins sure but what must be a 40 somthing year old furry running on roof tops, nah sorry thats just too silly to be real.
I had an idea, I just want the justice league or batman trying to come to terms with ghost culture. Heads up this has a some gore.
Phantom was a newer hero, brought in by the JLD. Given there focus on the supernatural side it made sense to add the younger ghost to the team, even if the debate of if ghost were even real took a good week to clear up. Still it was worth it for the results. The kid was good, often dealing with threats quickly and leaving little to no real damage after. He would smile, take the time to calm down civilians and even stay behind after to make sure the odd cult member understood there options and therapy if they were manipulated.
Compared to the rest of JLD phantom was practically a ball of sunshine with the heart of a puppy. Thats probably why it was such a shock when he walked in hugging a decapitated skull like it was a teddy bear. The flash wasn't even pretending when he ran to trash can to begin puking out his guts. The face was mostily burnt off while parts of its flesh and one eye clung to the bone looking like it was covered in worlds worst melted strawberry ice-cream. It was the kind of view that most hero's had nightmares about.
Yet here was danny showing it one of they larger bay windows in the watch tower pointing out constellation like this was just another Tuesday. Its actually Thursday but that isnt the point.
"Phantom" Batman called out. "Wha- Who is this?"
In Unison they tilted there heads at the man and for a moment the air in the tower froze. Two souls staring at the hero's without any real signs of life in either. Just a few seconds long enough to set off every instinct they had. And then a laugh. Awkward, short, and a bit pitchy in a way only a teen being caught doing somthing odd could have.
"O hi! Uhh sorry, I didnt see you all there, everyone meet James, James these are my hero friends." Danny practically cheered extending James out towards the heros. The one eye bounced against the socket but made no signs of life other wise.
"I see, and you and James are...?" Batman pushed.
"Huh, o James came by with some fresh bbq so I figured we hang out and do some sight seeing and maybe get some coffee while we wait for them to finish cooking."
Just then before anyone could continue questioning the skulls mouth open to releasing a unnatural gargle.
"O man, your so right i didnt even look at the time, we better get back. Bye bye everyone!" Danny singsonged as he and the skull flew directly out the ship and into space inches general direction of earth.
Anyways yall can take this and make it your own I just think its funny for ghost to be totally cool with sharing there physical body parts like bones and organs and mixing that with danny being from the Midwest so he treats it like a neighbor bringing a tray of cookies to your house where it's only poliet you invited them to hangout and share with you some. I imagine James body is back home cooking the BBQ while they hang.
A kinda silly idea hit me when reading. Normally people write about some cult sending someone in a portal to become a sacrifice to the ghost king. (Aka danny gets a new boyfriend/girlfriend) and that person tends to fall into some grand office in the ghost zone full of glowing green clouds and stuff. But I just enjoy the mental image of young adult 20 somthing Danny maybe with his friends just in his room all stoned and playing video games just hanging when this stranger comes outta no where and lands on a bean bag. I just like this super chill and unfazed response like welcome can you pass the chips.
I will keep it short and sweet. The idea is the joker got a strange kinda romantic obsession with batman as we all know. Thing is he is 100% a batman/bruce shipper and like much of Gotham assumes there a couple. He even kidnapped bruce a few times to mess with the bat but given batman never came to fight until bruce was safe, often sending the Robin's in his place, the joker assumed its like police where hes too close to be on the case and he stopped trying to get at bruce as it was no fun too him.
Fast forward and bit and now Bruce has been seen with a mystery lover (Could be Dan, Danny, or Dani) Most of Gotham doesn't want to say anything, after all rich people cheat all the time. But thing is its been a few months and Batman is rarely out as much. The robins are great at picking up the slack but its odd. Cue the Joker getting the wrong idea and assuming His Batman is home heart broken. Ofcourse that just won't do.
Any ways from here id say its up to you. You got options A the classic more cartoon Joker preforming a bunch of silly schemes to either break the couple up or more modern evil clown and have him kidnap bruce or whoever and try to murder em on TV or somthing. Either way im sure by the end of it the new rumor in Gotham will just turn into batman being poly and isnt that just fun.
Alrighty so here's what im thinking. Most of the time everyone makes Danny's ghost powers infect the tech around him so he cant take photos or be seen on film or the tech he uses needs him because his ecto but I what if Danny's just always takes bad photos and his tech is kinda shit. Like you can try to get a good photo of him but hes always moving or sneezing or the wind gets his hair in his face and he just looks dumb as hell. And he can make stuff sure and it will maybe work but the odds are always like 4 out 5 times its just gonna blow up or catch fire randomly. Hes great in theory at school and his math is perfect its just he builds like his parents meaning little to no lab safety and leaving gaint power switches he forgets so nothing works.
I just like the idea of everyone else looking at this mess of a college kid with a duct tape back pack and projects held together with hot glue and prays. The pure definition of a dork who trips over air. And then you got some one like Tim trying to insist to his family hes actually really cool, and smart, and could totally be a villian in the making. You know his family and friends would just assume he has a crush and be like yeah sure buddy while they look at danny over his shoulder who's just pulling on a push door with all his effort.
This is based off my cat who is a magical black cat that I promise is cool but takes photos like this:
