quick rules under the cut

Firstly, I should be very clear on this, I am okay with mistakes. Being ADHD I know people can forget things. It's okay, I will gently remind you and I won't be upset with you if you forget a rule that isn't a hard no preference for me. (like being transphobic or racist is a hard no.)

All of the given/common rules; no god-modding, metagaming, stealing, or dragging me into drama.

As well as no kind of hatred/bigotry, sexism, transphobic, homophobic, anti-lgbtq+, terf, racism, Pro-Israel, etc.

No Minors; I'm an adult and I will only write with other adults.

NSFW; I don't write it. Not even for verses where my character is older. My writing is too cringe in regards to this subject.

Violence; do not assume that because my source material is a children's cartoon, that my blog will be tame about violence and horror elements. This is a cartoon about two things; Superheroes & Ghosts. Expect me to expand upon those themes in a way a more mature audience would be able to handle it. I will tag whatever you need tagged if you tell me or have it somewhere in your rules though.

I love shipping! I'm multiship and polyamory friendly. However, chemistry is a must. Non-romantic ships are also on the table! If you think any kind could work please let me know! Romantic ships, hard no for adult/minor and hard no for incest though.

Another ship thing; I don't like Danny/Sam as it is in canon. It was just too forced and honestly, Sam herself felt badly written. Which is unfortunate because I love her as a concept. Fandom shippers also did not help me like this ship even when I tried to like it. I have rewritten her in my canon, but have Sam/Tucker as a default. I can strike that from a verse for you if you play Sam. But I need to really get to know the mun and how they write to even consider Sam/Danny either way.

Selectivity; I RP with who I follow and follows me back (exceptions for side-blogs). I mainly ask that you have rules somewhere as a bare minimum. OCs and Crossover encouraged! Even so, just because you follow me doesn't mean I will follow you. And I never expect to be followed back either. So don't feel pressured to. (there may be people I follow just because I like their writing and/or they're a friend of mine.)

Blocking; I don't block evade, I'll never block evade. I have memory issues so if you really don't want me to refollow you on accident then please hard block me!

No Labrat scenerios; I will never accept the idea that Danny's parents would try to dissect him. I do not see them as abusive. Perhaps a little neglectful at times, but they do care about their children.

Trimming; Please trim your posts, it makes it easier to read. I'll trim our threads if you can not.

DNI; Don't even follow me if you've got HP muses or otherwise engage with HP. No Vivzie Pop content. No One Piece. No Rurouni Kenshin. Aside from HP, if you're a multimuse I just won't interact with those muses. Even HP verses if I spot them will make me not follow.

Plotting; Feel free to DM me through the tumblr IM feature or through asks if you'd like to plot even a little bit with me. Or if you'd just like a little context for a starter. You may ask for my discord if you'd rather message there.

Icons & Art; My icons are capped and made by me. Any art in icons, with the exception of one art piece done by my partner, are made by me. Art posted with my mun art tag are also by me, don't take them!

DC/DP Content; I love the concept of DC/DP! But I actively avoid the fandom content for this crossover, I've seen a lot of it against my will, however so I know a good amount of the typical beats people go with. I am completely going with my own version of this crossover, there will be no Danny becoming a batkid and no father/son relationship between Danny and Constantine (with Danny as the father???). I have instead recontextualized my canon to fit well within DC canon without breaking other DC character canons.

Gen AI; If you use Ai for anything on your blog I will block you.

what color does your love feel like?

warm burnt orange

Riding off into the sunset, the hope of a happy ending, the bitter after taste that still in it's own way smells kinda great. Your love is all bitter hopefulness, all about a broken heart that refuses to quit, all about the unshakable knowledge that a burning fire has a great comforting warm and a soft glowing light, all about the way when the sun comes down there's a beautiful starry night. It's stubbornness, it's the refusal to give up, the clutching of broken shards despite the searing pain and being adamant that dammit you can still make a beautiful stained glass window out of it. Yours is a screaming heart, a pleading love, a bitter and almost belligerent hopefulness that things will still work out even if you have to roll up your sleeves and make them. And god, aren't you tired? Isn't your heart heavy? Is all your hard work worth it? Don't you just want to curl up and let it be? Let the fire turn to ashes and the sky turn dark and let love die down and watch people leave? But you don't, do you? You're the bravest out of all of us, so you pick up the pieces and you keep going, you keep believing and you keep your heart full of hope because some day. Some day you know you'll get it. You keep riding off into the sunset and you keep filling my heart with hope as you go because god, how do I wish you finally get it too.

///So, the headcanon I vaguely talked the other day mentions pregnancy. Nothing NSFW though. I'm finally going to make a post about it. This and a tag is your warning if that subject makes you uncomfortable. As an extra measure to save those who are uncomfortable with this subject, it's going under a read more. However, thinking this out helped me develop a few things for what Danny is and what he wants in life. On top of that, it takes him being trans into account. But mostly this is a headcanon that delves into the genetics behind what Danny's kids could be like in the future. And by proxy as another 'half ghost', this applies to Vlad at least for my canon as well.

First off, I reject the idea that Danny is literally "half ghost" in the sense of what it sounds like. It's just what he and Vlad are called because it's the closest descriptor for what they are. Their DNA was fused with the ectoplasm of their ghostly forms, melding the two physical forms together. These aren't two separate species, they're the same thing in different states of being. It's more complex than the way it seems on the surface.

So instead of any of their children being like, "quarter ghost" or "quarter human"... they can be either be "half ghost" like Danny & Vlad, or they can't. Full stop. Danny specifically being trans masc changes the outcomes because he can either, in family friendly terms, give in Phantom form or receive in living form. Receiving will result in a "half ghost" child 100% of the time. Giving is where results vary depending on the partner.

Danny's ectoplasm infused DNA causes the growing baby to also have it's DNA match his own in this respect. Also because ectoplasm as per my canon varies in corrosiveness, as an auto fail safe, Danny is unable to change to ghost form until the baby(s) is born. He can still use most of his abilities outside of ghost form, however. I've also concocted this fail safe to make the pregnancy have a consequence that would force Danny to rest and stay out of harms way.

In ghost form, what Phantom gives can result in a "half ghost". The ectoplasm can fuse with and spread in the growing baby... OR the mother's body can clear the ectoplasm out of hers and the baby's system entirely. It all depends on how the mother's body reacts to the ectoplasm.

Now, if Danny / Phantom were to have a child with a normal human, it will result in 100% a human child that is either "half ghost" or not. If he has one with a full ghost, it will always result in a "half ghost", however the child's abilities may align more with the other parent.

If Phantom and Valerie have a child, it will always be a normal human that is... "half ghost." That's because Valerie is a secret 3rd thing and technically also has ghostly DNA fused into herself. It's just not HER ghost. Crossover content is my jam so I've also thought about non-human children. In which case, the above is all still valid, except the child will also be half of whatever the other parent is. For a simple example list;

Phantom + Val = Human (+Half Ghost) Danny + Dash = Human (+Half Ghost) Phantom + Paulina = Human ( sometimes half ghost, sometimes not ) Phantom or Danny + Ghost = (+ Half Ghost) Phantom + Starfire = Half human, Half Tamaranean ( sometimes half ghost, sometimes not) Danny + Aqualad = Half normal human, Half Atlantean (+ Half Ghost)

So the way I write Danny; he's had a few dreams or goals for his life. Become an Astronaut, find someone who loves him as much as he loves them (a soulmate), & be a parent (a good one even!). If we take Valerie out of the equation, (because as far as who I've roleplayed with, she's the most fitting for goal 2) Danny has currently & silently given up on two of those goals. 1 & 2. Danny doubts he can bring his grades up but even if he continued to try and succeeded, he doesn't believe he would pass a physical exam for the career. He loves space so much, the only person he'd vent about this out loud to is probably his sister Jazz. He wouldn't even say it to himself. As for love? He wants it. He'd still try for it if given the chance. But he won't be surprised if it doesn't last long if at all. Every relationship he's had has either been a cruel trick on him (and on others, thanks kitty) or the other person has changed their minds before the relationship could even really start. On top of that, most people don't even like him on a friendly level. Which if he had a 4th goal, it would be to make more friends. =') As far as later life goals, parenting is the most obtainable. Given the various ways he could be a parent. Adoption would be hard as a single parent... but donation banks and/or just asking his few friends are an option. There's also cloning. Which he won't be against if he can actually consent this time. Heck if Vlad hadn't stepped up and taken Dani in, he may have tried his best to make things work for her. And of course, there's the off chance that goal 2 is realized later in life despite how he thinks other people feel about him. =)

Differences in my blogs canon appearance for Danny. (peeled from my archive and slightly added onto or edited)

Phantom---

No logo/emblem.- that episode is not canon to me can change his clothes shape, but doesn't often due to the energy it expends ((he is still practicing this skill ty)) beauty mark under his eye, opposite side of face in living/human form. eyes are different shades of green all the way through. teeth are sharp and shark-like (also in 3 rows inside), teeth bright green ((actually black, but covered in ectoplasm-saliva constantly so they appear green)) (( Skeleton is actually black, this is why the teeth are actually black )) the inside of the mouth ((and anything else that might be more flesh or blood colored like cuts or scars or tears)) glow various shades of green has a general glow about him like in canon but it changes in brightness based on his energy levels (edit) pointed ears

Fenton---

never wears the same clothes twice in a row ((unless he's been up all night and had no time to stop)) however, usually his clothes have the same sort of basic/comfy style to them beauty mark under his eye, opposite side as his ghost form while he hasn't grown any taller, he lets his hair grows out sometimes. he will trim the back if it gets too long for his liking though. so sometimes his hair may be in the way of his face/eyes. both forms have longer eyelashes ((i just like them))

How does a Ghost work?

All you need to know about the rules of Ghost Physiology, a lesson brought to you by Fenton Works!

—✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

✦Ectoplasm✦ The substance that makes up the entirety of a ghost’s physical form. It also comes in many forms and densities. From a thick slime to an almost watery liquid to a dangerous plasma. Depending on the ghost, Ectoplasm can vary in many qualities, such as corrosiveness. Usually the thicker slime variants are harmless and if dangerous at all will only cause a minor rash or dull burning feeling.  The more liquid or plasma like it becomes, the more likely it is to be harmful to touch, however there are exceptions to this rule! So please use caution when handling! Considering some ectoplasm variants have been known to eat through flesh and even steel in a matter of seconds, you should always wear protective equipment when dealing with the substance or avoid it entirely. Additionally, depending on the form the ectoplasm takes, it can evaporate rather quickly.  Ectoplasm also comes in a variety of bright or neon colors, although all will have at least some sort of glowing quality to them. Green is the most common, however pink, cyan, yellow, purple, and red are other colors to look out for! Ghosts tend to leave an ectoplasmic residue where ever they most frequent. It manifests in more hidden areas of the location such as pipes and the inside of walls. This can cause a lot of property damage and you will need to call a professional to both remove the ghost and work with your ghost related insurances for a clean up estimate. If a haunting occurs any longer, you risk ingesting and coming into skin contact with ectoplasm and if you survive you will need to seek medical attention immediately.  ✦Forms✦ Be sure to remember, ghosts can come in many forms. Big or small, they all have the same capacity to do harm to the living. Many think of the more simply shaped ghosts, usually blob-like with eyes and a mouth. Or maybe one eye and many mouths. Either way, do not let that mental image lead you astray. Ghosts can look very animal or human like. Some can be unrecognizable as anything knowable from nature. Some can create disguises indistinguishable from the living. The latter grotesquely peels off if damaged by the right equipment. There are signs to look for in those that don’t go out of their way to disguise themselves. Some are obvious where others are not. A faint glow about their skin or fur, depending on humanoid or animal shapes taken. Strange colors to them, in any or even every aspect. Look for size differences or an unusual number of limbs, eyes, or mouths. (or a lack of those qualities) They can look quite sickly in some cases. One such case appears to be a blonde haired older teenager with pale “greasy” skin, his motive is usually to relentlessly flirt with living teenage girls. So he often comes into contact range with the living.  There are others that specialize in expert shape shifting. You should pay attention to vocal and behavioral changes in people you know to discern whether or not you’re talking to something you don’t actually know.   

✦Resistances & Immunities✦ A ghost has many passive physiological functions, the most notable being almost untouchable. While they have physical forms, ghosts’ bodies can only be touched by a living creature if they want it to happen. Barring specific equipment or treatments a living human can undergo. This does not appear to always be the case for inanimate objects, as we know some ghosts can bump into walls and furniture (and even break things) on accident. (However, we at Fenton Works study this phenomenon in only the most ghost active hot spots. Which could skew that specific information due to a lot of materials, objects, and products,  more often than not, being treated with anti-ghost materials and substances.)    Given the above information, you should be aware that ghosts’ physical forms usually cannot be affected by weaponry or containments of any kind. For the former, on the off chance it does work, we recommend giving the ghost a quick wide berth after your attack, as ectoplasm splatter may be dangerous and will most definitely stain clothing– if not destroy it. The right equipment; treated with a special synthetic type of ectoplasmic material, extracted material from special types of plants, or made with a special type of ore, are the only things we know of that can deal with the constant ghostly threat. 

✦Eating Habits✦ As far as we know, ghosts do not truly need food to keep their forms from deteriorating like a living person does. However, they can eat pretty much anything. Food, objects, cloth, other ghosts–usually humanoid ghosts will go for animal-like ghosts in much the same way the living hunts an animal to eat. They don’t lose out from not eating, however they do gain from the act of eating. Depending on what they eat, ghosts appear to become slightly more powerful or energetic. The consumed material acting as something akin to a fuel for a fire.  *We do have on record, many types of ectoplasm based foods within the ghost zone. Not just animals, but also fruits, vegetables, and grains. Do plants create ghosts of themselves when they die? A subject that bears further looking into. 

✦Specialized Functions✦ Ghosts who have special abilities, such as weather manipulation– infuses ectoplasmic energies into whatever it is they do. This adds an extra danger to say, a flood or a blizzard. You do not want to be flooded by ectoplasm contaminated water or pelted with ecto-infused snow. It is important to follow any protocol your local government, school, or workplace issues for ghost related emergencies. There should be documents at any of these establishments relating to any situations we have recorded previously. If you have not been briefed on what to do in these events, you may be entitled to receive compensation for any damages you manage to survive.  

✦Drive or Motive✦ It is sometimes difficult to tell what a ghost’s true motives are. However there are many that are compelled to tell you, if they are able, exactly what they want. Every ghost has a basic emotional drive relating to some sort of attachment. We assume this attachment is related to things they loved or worked with often in life. They will be persistent as it is almost all they can think about. So please call a professional if you suspect a haunting occurring.  

✦Behavior Pattern✦ Most ghosts actually are very passive and neutral. Tending to leave the living alone and simply exist. However, due to the fact that they still affect areas they inhabit with their residue, they can cause unintentional damages and harm to the living. So even these types of ghosts must be relocated or dealt with in some manner.  The types most often talked about may be outnumbered by the non-aggressive types, but they do significant enough damage even when there is only one around that they must immediately be taken care of by a local ghost hunting team. The aggressive types will go out of their way to satiate their driving motive by any means available to them. This includes but is not limited to; physical harm of any living being in the area, property destruction, water and food contamination, power drainage, theft of property, abduction of the living, and even death of the living.  Some ghosts may attempt to push the living out of a home or establishment in a bid to obtain a territory for itself. They may even engage in conflict with one another over a perceived territory. Or work together as a means to push the living out.  There are no records of any ghost going out of it’s way to do anything beneficial for or to help the living. Other ghosts, yes. But the living? They may trick the living if their goal is to gain something from them, but they will not selflessly act to help them in any manner. They especially will not engage in combat with other ghosts to do so. So be wary if a ghost is offering you assistance or “protecting” you. This is likely a manipulation tactic of some kind.

✦Ghost Language✦

All newly formed ghosts will be unable to communicate with the living. We can use special devices to understand them. Or they can try to get their points across in other ways. However, don’t expect a ghost to be up for a game of charades. The age at which a ghost is finally able to speak to the living in an understandable way, without the use of an aid of some kind, varies from ghost to ghost. But most research into the subject suggests that it must have at least been ten years since the first formation of their physical form.

/// hey so here's my headcanon tag. I really should finish my quick mobile friendly links. Something to do after a reply or two.

[halfghcst]

/// reminder under the read more, my version of Phantom looks different from canon as well. Regardless of what I cant edit into my icons.

-fully green eyes, lighter green sclera (inspired slightly by starfire!) -shark-like teeth, including the aspect of multiple rows of them -longer eye lashes than in canon (i just like them) -beauty mark that swaps sides depending on what form he's in -green teeth, it's a constant film of ectoplasm (it's saliva-like, the teeth are actually black because his bones are black) -the glowing aspect applied to everything in different aspects; eyes, teeth, skin, even ecto-blood in the form of blush, hair (his whole body glows so it can also just wash out features sometimes if he's bright enough-- which is affected by his energy levels.) -when very angry, hair starts to become flame-like at the ends

---- I also don't use the DP logo on his chest. I don't like the origin for it and it doesn't fit with the narrative that the suit is just a form fitting hazmat suit of sorts. I love the logo design though! Another clothing difference is that even if icons don't reflect it, Phantom can "wear" different clothes in ghost form. Either he can wear something over the suit, a jacket or sweater for example. Or he can change the 'form' of his clothing. This counts as shapeshifting, the suit is a part of him in ghost form, it reforms itself when damaged and everything. But changing the shape of his clothes takes some effort from him, as it's an ability he's not really perfected.

///i have since this post, added pointed ears to Danny's ghost form. Same thing applies. =)

Danny has gotten used to typing a lot in a short amount of time since the accident. Considering it's one of the few ways for non-ghosts to understand him and thankfully, Tucker has installed a filter in Phantom's phone to catch any stray ghost language.

Now that doesn't mean he can't slow down or give short replies, it's just not as likely in most situations he finds himself in.
