Pilot dropped his water bottle underneath the console and it got stuck behind the peddles; They were talking to maintenance and asking them for a giant stick to try and poke it out from under there because obviously, that's a HUGE safety hazard. I finally bullied my way into the cockpit insisting I was small enough to try and just grab it and managed to wiggle under and get it in like 5 seconds flat.
They looked at me in pure awe. I have never felt more powerful.
fairly reliably when someone is mean and weird to you on Tumblr, you can look on their blog and all their recent posts will be about how unhappy they are in their interpersonal relationships and/or how frustrated they are that their creative venture hasn't found success. and it's like ohhhhh okay, I get it. you're clawing at other people because you're actively drowning. my sympathies, that sucks, but I'm not a lifeguard so carry on.
Pleased to report that after a day of this i am not longer craving caper brine and my mouth is not dry as usual. There's some good suggestions in the notes too that I want to try.
-ancient roman posca: water, red or white wine vinegar, honey, salt, herbs (coriander, mint, thyme)
-switchel: water, ginger, vinegar, sweetener, lemon, salt
Tim: I know you feed on emotions. You're an ecto-being, known as Phantom, and you're hiding in Gotham from the government. Your real name is Daniel Fenton.
Danny defeated: Who are you working for? How did they find me?
Tim: Don't worry about that. I'm the only one who knows. Listen, I need your emotional eating abilities. Robin died a few weeks ago, and Batman is losing it. Could you eat his sorrow? Help cut through his fog of grief?
Danny: I- ugh I never tried that?
Tim: Well, now is a good chance to try. Pack your bags, you're moving into Drake Manor as my uncle, and we're going to save Batman.
Danny: Okay?
Tim: You seemed confused. Do I need to explain the plan again?
Danny: I'm not confused. I didn't expect this when I opened the door to a seven-year-old.
Tim: I'm thirteen.
Danny: I'm so sorry. Are you not being feed?
Tim: Everyone blooms at their own time!
Danny: Sure, buddy.
Tim: You-! You will actually do really well at posing as an annoying uncle. You're on thin ice, though. So watch it.
Danny: I'll take that threat more seriously when you can reach my chin.
So my dad was the assistant music editor on Tarzan, and idk if it was Bring Your Kid to Work Day or something but one day he did just that so there I was, this incredibly small 1st grader, in an absolutely cavernous recording studio with a full orchestra and a giant screen playing the scene they were taping the score for, and my little brain couldn't handle the big music and the big movie happening all at once so I started crying and it was the first time music ever brought me to tears and it was too much to take in so we stepped out of the studio and ran directly into Phil Collins, who looked to me very much like my dad, and in my delicate emotional state I became immediately convinced that my dad had been copied and nobody had told me so I started crying harder, and Phil Collins said something that was probably meant to be calming but it was with a British accent so I thought there was a copy of my dad in every country and I absolutely lost it at the notion that other kids would get to have my dad, and my dad ended up having to carry me back to the car.
So.
Sorry for crying very loudly at you Phil Collins, your work on Tarzan was so moving it triggered my first emotional breakdown.
Danny was taken in by their grandfather first and met Eri later. He was born quirkless. Though circumstances of him being separated from his and Eri's parents would've been different, in this au there wouldn't have been much love lost after what happened to their dad when Eri's quirk manifested. Maybe it was bias about him being quirkless, maybe their parents weren't that great anyway in any circumstance. No matter what child they tried to raise. But either way he ends up in his grandfather's care shortly before Eri's born. And they meet for the first time after Eri's quirk manifests.
By the time Overhaul is ready to start his experiments with Eri, he knows Danny is going to be a problem. He resolves to send the kid away once he gains control over the Yakuza.
He sends him to the Fentons. Maybe under the guise of a mentorship, maybe the excuse is that it's about showing Danny the ropes. Teaching him how to secure deals and establish good relations with potential assets. ie. The Fentons and their work with portals.
Danny knows something is wrong. He doesn't get more than a few brief calls with Eri per month. Though their relationship was only just starting to build up into something more familiar and less like strangers when he was sent away, he knows something is wrong. It's gut instinct. A sickness in his stomach that builds with every call.
He's just starting to try reasoning with Kai, or, he guesses, with Overhaul. He wants to go home. He wants to see Eri face to face and make sure she's safe, and as happy as the man claims she is.
He never gets the chance.
That's when he has his accident with the portal.
Fast forward to after Eri is rescued. And she brings up Danny to Aizawa. It's quiet. Hesitant. One more request for help after the first one, which was already difficult enough for her. But she does it anyway.
Only problem. Danny is stuck in his ghost form. He has no memories. And believes he's a full ghost.
Or maybe he has just enough memories to make him believe the newly diseased Fenton's were his family.
His human form isn't exactly in stasis while he's Phantom. The effects of neglecting his human form happen much, much slower. But they do happen. His human body starts to lose it's energy, starts to starve, starts to whither. And as his human form creeps closer and closer to death, his ghost form gets that little bit stronger.
Meaning the mission to find Danny has a time limit the heroes don't know about.
And without his memories, Danny himself is their biggest obstacle in his own rescue.
While Aizawa and the rest of the heroes search for this mysterious brother, Danny is trying to solve a mystery of his own. The mystery of what caused the portal to malfunction. The mystery of how he died. The mystery of how his family died. The mystery of why he was the only one to come back.
The mystery of his sister. Of Eri Jazz.
His investigation ultimately leads him to Overhaul when he finally finds out just who caused the accident. The only problem? The man is in prison.
I don't exactly have all the kinks worked out with this. Like why Overhaul goes straight to attempted murder over a kid who doesn't have powers. Maybe to prove his resolve. Maybe he underestimated how close the two siblings could've been in the limited time they knew each other. Maybe Danny was the only one who could've threatened his claim as a leader of the Yakuza. And when he was originally sent away, his death was faked, unbeknownst to Danny. And he'd told Eri Danny was sent away for his own protection from members of the Yakuza. Protection that could be revoked at any time. I don't know yet.
But I do like the irony of Overhaul being responsible for giving a quirkless kid powers.
I’m a sucker for DP crossovers and I love when writers take into account the science of the canon AND fanon aspects of the media.
My own headcanon is that Danny when he becomes phantom is FULLY ghost, has full ghost anatomy.
His human cells are completely turned into ectoplasm and his core is the central nucleus. He has his core in both forms hence why he can use ghost powers in his human form and why he is detected by ghost tech in human form.
His core just goes “dormant” when in human form, it no longer has to take full control to keep his ecto together and moving. So in human form his core is harder to call on it is more sluggish and slower to respond, where as in ghost form using his core is like breathing once he understands his abilities through practice.
Because of this, I feel like he technically be classified as something of a mutation quirk or transformation quirk. His core would be the catalyst to make all his powers work. and those powers would all fall under the classification of ectoplasm manipulation, his core is at the center of it all.
I see in alot of MHA crossovers that Danny’s powers are too diverse to be considered “one quirk” but the way I see it his quirk is ectoplasm manipulation and control. Ectoplasm being pure energy that can be turned into any shape or form, but its limit is simply that Danny doesn’t know there isn’t a limit.
Ghosts in the zone can and do use their ecto to do everything like control objects, convert to energy based attacks or shields, shapeshift, bend time, and change reality! There are no limits because if you believe their are no limits.
In MHA Danny would have very very few weaknesses, if none.
Quirk factor is something in your DNA there, so quirks that effect quirk factor like Eraserhead’s would be useless to Danny. Even if he had a quirk factor, his quirk is a mutation quirk, his core is an organ that can’t just be turned off.
Blood based quirks wouldn’t work on him either because of the ecto in his blood would make his blood toxic if not corrosive or radioactive. Quirk users who are required to ingest or taste the blood of another to use their quirk would get ecto poisoning/radiation, the blood may even make them immediately ill. and the ecto infused in Danny’s very DNA is something humans cannot effect, only other ghosts can.
Quirk restraints wouldn’t even do anything to him, again no quirk factor.
So when Danny finds himself in the MHA verse, there is literally no one who can restrain this kid vigilante who appeared out of nowhere with what appears to be a limitless quirk and no idea vigilantism is illegal.
The hero commission is scrambling to get their hands on this kid, The league of villains are scrambling to get their hands on this kid, Almight is scrambling to get his hands on this (white haired with multiple quirks) kid, heck even Nezu is looking to have a word with this mystery kid.
AFO is having his latest project, Kurogiri, train using the latest quirk mix in one of their safe houses. He calls the quirk "warp gate". Kurogiri, having no clue what he's doing, happens to open a portal at the exact same time, and dimensional coordinates as Danny Fenton pushing the internal "on" button for his parents' portal to the ghost zone.
AFO and Kurogiri are shocked as a boy with white hair and green eyes stumbles through on shaking limbs, mumbles out "dad?" Before collapsing.
Danny, eyes still blurry and body trembling, only knows that there was a large man in the shadows. He managed to ask, "dad?" Before falling unconscious.
Shenanigans ensue. Mistaken identity all around. AFO can't take Danny's "quirk", and the resemblance is uncanny. Danny can't control his powers yet and doesn't know how to change back, and has many power mishaps including going all wispy and falling through "local portals" (going intangible through floors and walls). And Kurogiri doesn't know whether this counts as giving birth to a son.
Danny is on the run from Vlad. Parents and friends dead by his hand. The boy flies as fast as he can through the zone, dodging Vlad's blasts and animals. He was getting tired. Suddenly a random Asian looking door catches his attention, he books it and shoots through.
He doesn't recognise the place he appears in. It certainly looks Asian, the buildings, the foreign writing on ads and signs. But Danny can't look around for long as a pink beam rushes past him. The ghost swishes between and through buildings trying to lose Vlad in the new environment. But the man stays persistently on his trail.
As he turns a corner his eyes land on an unsuspecting boy and he gets an idea. In a last ditch effort he flies down and overshadows the boy. Danny hopes he was fast enough that Vlad didn't see him hide inside the boy.
Danny was not expecting to be met by another 7 people inside the green haired boys conscience. Judging by their faces they didn't expect him either. He may have something to explain.
"The fuck do you mean you're hiding from some old creep who wants to make you his evil apprentice against your will!?!?"
He probably can, but the question is which one? The others gave him Blackwhip, Float, Transmission, Danger Sense, Smokescreen, Fa Jin, and of course One For All. So which of Danny’s infinite powers would be useful to Izuku right now? Or would his presence just make him into a pseudo-halfa? Cuz there’s no way he isn’t already liminal with all the ghosts of his predecessors attached to his soul rn, so getting liminality is off the list.
Maybe one of the more basic ghost powers? Or perhaps an OP power that Danny forgot how to use? Something he probably doesn’t need anymore? Also would Izuku talk to him in his sleep or will Danny just try and pretend he isn’t there?
If the hc that Nomu are basically Dr. Frankenstein’s wet dream with mangled souls is true in this one, would Danny come out to try and help? I can see him wanting to either get them to Frostbite and pray that he can fix them, or doing something to just help them move on. Danny would def wanna help them somehow, which means he’d have to reveal himself.
And what about Vlad? Cuz I know for a fact that he ain’t gone. He’s probably just waiting for Danny to show up and play hero. Or worse! He’s teamed up with AFO to draw him out. And with Vlad’s experiment on ghost animals being so similar to a Nomu, AFO would def work with (read: hire) him. Game recognizes game and all that.
All Might is probably losing his mind over this whole thing lol.
I haven't paid close enough attention to BNHA to write this fic but idea for a Danny Phantom crossover:
The usual, Danny (or Miss Flew Off Into The Sunset Dani) goes to the BNHA universe for whatever reason and goes to UA.
☝️But. During the first battle with the League of Villains, Danny/Dani clocks that Kurogiri is also undead and things become extremely canon divergent from there.
Plot: detective Nasomasa Tsukauchi finds a boy who supposedly comes back from the dead after being murdered by a serial killer that the detective has been trying to track down. The boy is his only lead. (Danny was ”murdered” after he escaped from giw through a natural portal still wearing ghost proof cuffs/bands. When they were removed during prep for his autopsy, his regeneration kicked in at the right time reviving him).
Now it up to Nasomasa and Danny to solve the case
This could take place before or during the plot
pre mha (maybe a year or a couple months before izuku encounter with all might)
Or
During the arc when U.A. has dorms (I don’t remember the arc names🫠) before or after Eri gets recused
(I really wanted to post something since the other one’s has been taking me forever so I went with this one since it’s short and sweet. Plus, I really like this idea. It has some good mystery and crack fic (and little side of angst ) potential).
