Roy: I’m not afraid of commitment!
Roy: I’ve been annoying the hell out of Hawkeye for at least half of our lives!
The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.
And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and
His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.
However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.
That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.
I think it's funny world-building how like, so at the center of Life we've got Water. Arguably The most important resource. Colorless transparent substance that molds to any container and we die without it and quickly. And all organic functions of society hinge on its availability. Could fight a ton of wars over this thing.
And well beyond organic life, modern society's great human invention is the Electronic Magic. Our greatest minds invented the Electronic Magic and it sends information around the world instantly. Our infrastructure our economy our modern life, minute by minute by minute, hinges on utilizing the great Lighting Technology.
BUT ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ DO NOT. DO NOT EVER. get the magical Elixir Substance of Life and Living and Healing, Water, IN the Electronic Device. The water keeps you alive critically but it KILLS the Electronic Device instantly and catastrophically. This Says something.
and this Says something...
Someone mentioned how they were having a hard time creating a world for their fantasy fiction geographically because they kept reinventing the island of Britain, which also happened to my good close enemy George R. R. Martin. I would like to suggest North Carolina. I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous but North Carolina has an awesome geographic setup for a fantasy kingdom, I think. Inhospitable barrier islands, constantly shifting shoals in the sound, swamps with alligators, venomous snakes and carnivorous plants, lots of very flat and somewhat sparsely populated farmland, foothills, mines, mountains full of mysterious phenomenon that were originally very difficult to navigate and people still get lost in today. It kind of rocks.
AND VENUS FLYTRAPS ARE NATIVE TO THE CAROLINAS!
There are actually 36 carnivorous plant species native to North Carolina, roughly half of all carnivorous plant species in the United States are found in North Carolina! I added the carnivorous plant detail because that’s something I love about the state. We have so many fucking bugs that the plants keep evolving to eat them.
I love that giant man eating Venus flytraps are worldbuilding staples in untamed tropical fantasy settings but they’re actually native to a small region in the Carolinas.
And I agree with the notes, the Chesapeake Bay + Great Dismal Swamp (partially in NC anyway) and the South Carolina Lowcountry would be good geographic additions to this.
KICK THE CAN!
Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.
To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.
the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now
And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!
I had a thought! Picture this *waves hands dramatically*!
Dani is a wanderer. In her travels, she and Connor end up meeting and she decides. Your Dad's a creep? No sweat- I'm your Dad now.
Connor's a bit confused. "You mean my mom?"
"Nope, your Dad. Never had a Mom so I wouldn't know what to do. Template Dad's pretty fun though. He didn't get a vote in my Creation but never held it against me."
This is a novel concept to Connor, and Dani brings him home, tackling him somewhere safe and handing him a shirt that says "World's Grandpa" l. No "Greatest" or "Okayest". Just "World's Grandpa". He's confused and then panics, asking her if she's expecting. To which she laughs and would string him along a lot further but just then, Connor steps out- "Gee, Grandpa, I thought you'd be... older."
Now Danny has many more questions.
Sorry I kept this sitting in my inbox so long. I had no idea how to do this justice. Ellie's chaotic gremlin antics are off the charts in this. Which I love for her.
The natural progression of this is of course all three of them doubling down on the gremlin antics. Connor's team have been worried sick by his disappearance. Where did their friend go! Is he ok?! What Is happening!!! Answer your damn phone!
What do you mean you're with your Dad?!?!?! We know you ain't with Clark!! Does Lex have you? *sounds of hearing up to commit severe violence* No no. Don't worry. His NEW Dad. Adopted him away from the chaos and angst. He has a new improved family now guys! You need to come meet them!!
Young Justice are obviously concerned. Did... Did they forget to give Connor the stranger danger talk? Did he really just wander off with some random guy who "adopted" him!!!! Damn right they're gonna meet this new "family"!!! *Sounds of hearing up for information gathering and blackmail mission*
... Team.exe has stopped working. Why is a teen girl, who looks younger than you calling herself your Dad? Why is she calling the only barely older teen Dad? Why are you calling him Pops!? What is HAPPENING!!!!!
Love it!
Additional bonus? Bonus Great Aunt Sam and Great Uncle Tucker keep teasing Danny about being a DILF whenever he tries to have a love life. He's dating Red? "What's it like to date the nerd dilf?" Has a crush on someone? "You can be classified as a dilf- you got this!"
If it's a good reveal? Jack is shaking like a chihuahua as he thinks of the things he's gonna teach this kid. I mean, he can already Kool-Aid his way through a wall. "Wanna learn how to make fudge while we discuss physics? We can also get your driving up to Fenton standards!" (To make this happen, they blindfold Kon before having him drive through town, using "vibes" to judge what he needs to do!)
Maddie? Maddie's brushing up on his martial arts and getting him to help her with her next paper, outlining the similarities and differences between Kryptonians and Ecto-kind. (She's hoping that this will counter some of the bad she did before she knew Danny had died due to shoddy workmanship and poor lab safety skills.)
Maddie and Jack being the on paper parents. For legal and social reasons. But everyone in the family knows the truth. The Young Justice team love these crazy adults. Like, they are definitely mad scientists. Technically reformed rogues. But so loving and willing to do things to make their kids (and grand kids) happy.
Danny and Ellie probably get invited to join the team. Since they are family after all. Bruce is probably so stressed once he finds out what happened.
In a Haunted Mansion mood today, so prompt. Danny had learned a LOT since his sad attempt at a haunted house and the fright knight incident. Things like how to properly haunt objects, mess with surrounding atmosphere, wig out electronics, and NOT rely on cursed swords. That and the discovery that even protection spirits need a diet of spooky mischief once and a while makes him excited for the school wide spookfest they're putting on for their families. even better that he's paired with his new sibling Tim. Danny figures this is as good a time as any to tell the Waynes about his powers, he just hopes they don't go too far into Batmode (kinda hard to keep secrets from a ghost)and ruin the fun. Alfred is even coming for emotional support, he's the only one who knew about him already.
Danny in true fashion? Decides to leave clues only the Wayne's can find and leads them to his section for a reveal.
Tim has to be read in so he can help. And fucking with his siblings is his favourite thing.
It absolutely ends up with them going into bat mode. Between Danny and Tim? They managed to accidentally make it look like a rogue had infiltrated and down something to Danny.
I say accidentally. It absolutely was on Danny's part. Tim? Knew what he was doing. He was filming this. It was going to be fantastic.
He comes floating up in full Phantom glory, all fangs and sharp ears and glowing scars, does the "Welcome foolish mortals!" intro, as the ghost host before he disapears for a while.
Danny just straight up singing Grim Grinning Ghosts for the actual big reveal, its been stuck in his head for a week, humming it under his breath, but DAMN is it a good segway to dive into the deep lore of the shitshow that is HIM!!
Danny and Tim have been scheeming for weeks. Going as far as staying at Tim's Nest instead of the manor most weeknights. no one seems to know why, just that they're grouped together in a school project. But Jay has caught Alfred staying up with Danny on nights everyone is out patrolling and he 'wakes up' for a pre dawn snack, he has a feeling Danny knows something is up with them, but hasn't said anything to them yet.
its the same way he knows something is off about Danny. sure there was the whole apearing out of nowhere thing, literaly, as hard as babs and tim tried they couldnt find anything about who he was or where he came from. Alfred just said he was sent over by an 'old friend' and Alfie had surprising friends in weird places. Jay wouldn't be surprised if it turned out he wasn't from this demension originaly.
And that's also what he means by Danny being off. Jason is the only one in the family, that he knows of, no telling with Alfie, that has any affinity/training for the supernatural. And Danny screams supernatural to him.
but it dosent make him uncomfortable, in fact if anything his instincts, the ones born of the Other, are forcing him to ignore the Bat trained need for investigation, reassuring him that Danny was nothing but safe, and its rude to pry. Yes his instincts also jumped into a brawl the first time they met but that had felt more like Greetings!Play!NewFamily?ShowYouMyPower!
Still it seems like Danny has roped Tim in some big decision, he only knows this because Red Robin had swerved over to is patrol route one night right after he set out and HUGGED him in full Red Hood gear. the only context he got was a soft spoken, "I'm glad you came back." before whisking away again. it had left a warm feeling in his chest for the rest of the night.
But tonight, tonight they finally get to see what the two dorks have been working on. the whole family had piled up and headed to the school where there was a massive Halloween party set up, Danny had volunteered, rather aggressively according to Tim, to be but in charge of turning an empty wing into a haunted maze of sorts. Tim had stuck with them for the beginning of the night, Danny was busy watching over the maze. most folks seemed to enjoy it. Nothing seemed off until they wandered up in line. Tim started maning the door turning away people after them saying that they were gonna empty out who was in there before taking a dinner break.
The last of the participants ran out, giggling and trembling just a bit, in the way that youve experianced a good but safe haunted house at the amusment park. Danny seemed to give Tim a signal on the com he had in is ear. Bruce gave Tim The Stare, demanding to know why Danny was using their bat com system but Tim didn't crack, instead puttting up a closed sign and leading the rest of them inside.
It was rather impressive for a high school project. it began with typical papermache monsters and skeletons hung around corners, the further they went the more unsettling it got. from rust colored walls to a disasembled series of desks, the air grew colder and the lights flickered unreliably.
it slowly turned into a mad scintests lair complete with oozing green beakers and electricity sparking here and there. the buzzing lights reached a cresendo flaring bright as the ground suddnly rumbled beneath them. sparks and pops as the light fizzled and dies, elecricity touches their skin, a scream is heard as those around him grab onto each other keeping themselves upright and ready to fight.
the ground stills and they are left in the pitch black darkness. Bruce does a head count while the rest of them are assessing, Tim is missing.
Jason feels it then. A sense of other, it surrounds them, a presence is coming near, someone holding a lit candelabra is walking closer, its hard to make out their face in the gloom but Jason can tell their surroundings aren't the same, the lab has been replaced with an old style mansion, decrepit and rotting the rug beneath them is moist and Bruce stands in front of them like a shield as the candle light stops before them.
"Welcome foolish mortals!" says the person. Jason can make them, him out now. Wearing a tattered Victorian suit, his hair is glowing white, his eyes are brilliant green, his smile is sharp with fangs and his ears are tipped to points. His skin is somehow both pale and tan, the same green of his eyes runs up in lines from the palm of his left hand, under the suit, up around his neck and kissing his cheek.
He looks dangerous and deathly and so, so, other. but what the others don't see, what Jason thinks they can't see, not like he can, currently is. Is that for all the glamour and aether wrapped around him in pure show, that they are still safe. Jason cant help but let out a soft "Oh.." cause now, now he understands.
This person, this entity, somehow Jason knows that this is Danny. Danny showing them something that he's been hiding from them and doing it in a way that makes him comfortable with it. Danny for all the work he's putting into intimidating them, in complete control of their environment, meets his eyes and grins, knowing that Jason knows but imploring him to keep quiet just a little longer cause Danny right now feels like mischief and fun, with just a little bit of hunger. A hunger for acceptance, for family, and Jason understands why Tim hugged them that night, why it had filled him with warmth and strength.
And who was he to stop his newest sibling from causing chaos, it's almost a rite of passage at this point. Tonight might be fun!
A Justice League member finds two people attempting to summon some kind of an extradimensional horror to this earth and puts a stop to it. The suspicious couple, a miss Manson and a Mister Foley, try to explain something about a ‘movie night’ and an ‘idiot who lost his cellphone.’
I have had this post in my asks for months now and I am absolutely obsessed with it. Truly wonderful.
Some of the Teen heroes end up joining them in their movie night :)
Danny was on his way to movie night when felt the starting stages of the personal summoning he'd given his best friends.
He was just gonna let them pull him through because he was still like half an hour out (stupid Box Ghost making him track him half way across the country and drop his phone somewhere in Arkansas).
But then the summoning fizzled out. It never completed and after a few minutes without input the connection died.
Now Danny is absolutely racing back to see what could have possibly interrupted his friends from completing the very simple 2 minute summoning.
He is not expecting a handful of Justice League members to be standing around while the Soul Debt Evader attempts to lecture his entirely unrepentant friends about the dangers of summoning Eldritch entities.
"You kids don't understand what you're messing with!" Constantine said. "The Ghost King is way to powerful for a couple of kids to just summon on a whim!"
"Well maybe if he actually picked up his phone we wouldn't have to," Sam muttered, sifting through a pile objects. "And you messed us up!"
"Yeah, get out of here," Tucker said. "I'm pretty sure you're breaking an entering."
"Wha- I'm part of the Justice League!" Constantine said. "Well, Justice League Dark but still!"
"Pretty sure you still have to follow laws," Tucker said. "Ah, Sam, got it!"
Tucker tossed Sam a caligraphy pen, which she caught, and grabbed a sheet of paper, and started to draw a small circle.
"What are you doing?" Constantine asked, kicking Sam's hand.
"Hey!" she yelled.
A green light flew through the window, and a yellow flash entered the room.
"What's up?" Green Lantern asked.
"You called?" the Flash said at the same time.
"Some dumb kids don't seem to understand the dangers of summoning the Ghost King!" Constantine barked.
"Some weird trench coat guy keeps ruining our paper!" Sam countered. "And you're breaking and entering! Get out!"
"No!" Constantine said.
"Kid, we won't let you summon the Ghost King," Green Lantern said.
"I don't know who that is, but I'm gonna assume since Constantine's here that it's bad," the Flash added.
"Ugh!" Sam stood up with a huff. "Out! Everyone else out!"
"Even me?" Tucker asked.
"No," Sam said. "Lightning, green, trenchcoat, out!"
"Will you stop summoning the Ghost King?!" Constantine barked.
"Well he's not answering the phone," Sam grumbled.
"Why would the Ghost King have a phone?" Green Lantern asked, and the Flash shrugged.
"Kid, the Ghost King is not someone for you to mess with," Constantine said.
"Fine!" Sam said. "Would you at least let us summon our friend?"
"No!" Constantine said. "Ghosts- anything that has a summoning ritual is way to dangerous!"
"Yeah, and could likely cause some interdimensional threats," Green Lantern said. "And that is a nightmare to deal with."
Sam and Tucker glanced at eachother.
"Well, I know someone you should deal with," Tucker said. "Vlad Masters let the Ghost King out three years ago. Go arrest him or whatever."
"What do you mean the Ghost King got out last year?" Constantine asked. "We would've noticed!"
"Sure, like you would've noticed a couple of ghost hunters opening a portal to the infinite realms," Sam said. "Can you go? Our friend should be here soon anyway."
"The same friend you were trying to summon?" Constantine asked. "No, I don't think so."
The door downstairs shut, and the three heroes jolted. The Flash glanced at Constantine, who signaled for him to go downstairs. The Flash nodded, and disappeared.
"Great," Tucker muttered.
---
Danny could hear people upstairs. More than just Tucker and Sam. Was that why their attempt to summon him failed?
Someone was coming.
Danny slipped invisible and intangible without a single thought, just in time to catch a glimpse of someone- the Flash?!
The Flash blinked.
"Who shut the door?" he asked, before heading back upstairs.
Danny facepalmed, and floated upstairs.
The door to the room was shut, but he could hear arguing, but he couldn't quite tell what they were saying...
---
"There was no one downstairs," the Flash said once he reentered the room.
"What?" Green Lantern asked.
"He's here," Sam said.
"Kids, just stop messing with the supernatural, and we'll leave," Constantine said.
"Oh ho, stop messing with the supernatural, sad trenchcoat guys says in the most haunted town in the world," Sam said.
"Your a bit too late on that one, bud," Tucker added.
"Kids, I can't stress enough how dangerous the Ghost King is!" Constantine said.
"Sure, but he's only dangerous against the ancients, he's chill with other ghosts," Tucker said.
The door to the bedroom opened, and Danny walked in, human form.
"Sorry I'm late-" he cut off, looking around the room. "Why are there people here?"
"Apparently messing around with the Ghsot King is too dangerous for mere children like ourselves!" Sam said dramatically.
"And apparently that means a bajillion space cops need to come break into our house," Tucker added.
"There's only three of us!" Green Lantern said.
"And he's the only space cop," the Flash added, pointing at Green Lantern.
Danny groaned.
"Just leave," he said.
"No, you kids don't know what you're messing with!" Constantine yelled.
Danny glanced up.
"Oh, it's Mr. Debt Evader," he said.
"What did you just call me?" Constantine asked.
"Debt Evader," Danny said. "Y'know, cause you've sold your soul so many times and won't pay back the demons. The paperwork is a nightmare. Part of why we're having movie night is cause I finally finished it all. You're soul's worth practically nothing by now anyway. The only reason you can still sell it is cause the citizens of the infinite realms love bingo so much. They earn favors."
"What?" Constantine stared at him in horror.
"But I'm off duty right now, so just go away," Danny said.
"Hang on..." Green Lantern stared down. "Are... are you...?"
"The Ghost King?" Danny asked. "Apparently." He sighed. "Sam, Tucker, let's get out of here."
Sam and Tucker nodded, both grabbed some movies, and then grabbed Danny's hand, and he blinked them out of sight.
"What the-" the Flash barely stopped himself from swearing. "What is that kid?"
"...the Ghost King," Constantine muttered. "The most powerful ghost in existence, and king of all the afterlives."
"This is not good," Green Lantern said. "He's just... just walking around on earth? Looking completely human?"
"I can raise the alarm on the Watchtower," the Flash said.
"You do that," Constantine said. "I gotta contact Z..."
The three heroes finally left, and Danny blinked him, Sam, and Tucker back into visibility.
"Thank goodness they're gone," Sam said.
"Sorry I wasn't answering the phone," Danny said. "Lost it."
"Again..." the three said in sync. Sam laughed, and threw a handful of popcorn at Danny.
"C'mon, let's watch a movie finally," she said, and Danny and Tucker nodded in agreement.
This is gonna cause a HUGE debacle because guess what, JL doesn't like listening to kids! At least, most of them don't, I'm pretty sure Batman will be willing to sit down and actually hear Team Phantom out when they explain that Yes, Danny is King amd No he isn't a Threat he's just a kid who inherited the title when his nemesis released the actual ghost king that has Constantine shitting his pants over and left Danny to do the cleanup with. Oh, by the way, can you do soemthing about these Anti-Ecto Acts? Danny is barely able to keep his people from declaring war on the the USA and none of them want to deal with that
Fine. You don't want to listen to kids. Okay.
Danny goes still. The type of still that happens before a calamity, such a long a tsunami or in the eye of a hurricane.
When he breathes again it's like a 1000 year entity is sitting at the table. It feels like, when Shazam is stretched thin, likea rubber band ready to break.
"Will you kindly be quiet?"
"Thank you. My people and I will will be treated will respect and you will listen now for I am a King. I became King of the Ghosts and The Infinite Realms through combat and earned it with my blood sweat and tears. This is not an honorary title. When I say I can call up every marker Constantine over there has ever made on his soul and no one would deny me, please know it is true. Now, my Sister is going to start her presentation, and my people will help. No one is going to interrupt her on your side. No snide remarks, rude questions, nothing. Or I will let my Daughter switch forms and sit on you."
"AM I UNDERSTOOD?"
Danny:' Don't fuck with my sister' Fenton/ Phantom
In which Sam is the first member of Team Phantom to encounter the Justice League because she occasionally leaves Amity Park to (take direct action) be a supervillain.
Corporations destroying the environment or abusing animals fear her. She has no fatalities to her name (This is one part morality and two parts practicality. Non-lethal villains tend to be less of a priority and it denies her opponents a method to smear her causes.) but is wanted for massive property damage.
She does this by turning into a dragon. Specifically a black and purple dragon wearing an gold and green amulet.
The Justice League thinks she's a magic user because the amulet she wears is recognized as the one of the long lost Amulets of Aragon.
Tucker is her main backup: making sure they are targeting the right places and occasionally leaking incriminating information they come across, along with using the security systems to help check that the buildings are clear of people before bringing them down.
Danny is her emergency back up, ready to pull her out if something goes really wrong, but otherwise not getting involved.
Knowing how Aragon would react to a woman using HIS amulet? At the very least she has spite as a reason
Sam just letting off stress.
Justice League are VERY confused.

#i like the idea that sam and tucker do this but like#danny Does Not Know#which is why he's the last resort to call if help is needed
#like he's a hero doing his hero thing w hisbest buds giving him backup and thumbs up#then on the weekends they run out and do Crime while danny is innocently sleeping / doing hw
#does he join jl? sam and tuckpats him on the back like proud parents watching kid go off to kindergarten? he arrives all bright eyed to see#uhh is that sam on the screen listed as wanted for a gazillion crimes and doars in property damage?#casually sweating in the meeting and SLAMS DOOR OPEN WHEN HE GETS HOME BECAUSE UH SAM WE NEED TO TALK
#or does she get into trouble and tucker is like “we gotta do it sam. time for protocol: good egg scramble”
#idk just like the idea of tuck and sam finding out about amity black out and totally taking advantage of this and leaving out danny#who frankly has too much on his plate already thanks
Maybe it wasn't intentional that first time. Sam's parents dragged her out of town for some rich people thing not long after she received the Amulet and it just happened to be right near some corporate atrocity she's always hated.
Next thing she knows there's a smoking wreck where that crime against nature used to be and all of the stress has drained out of her. Of course she tells Tucker what happened, one of Team Phantom needs to know if she gets arrested and Danny is sleeping. Tucker takes that as an invitation to hack into all of the nearby cameras, copy some good recordings of what went down and strategically destroy anything that could implicate Sam.
The Manson's are terribly pleased by how well behaved their daughter was on this trip.
A month goes by and nobody comes to arrest Sam. They don't mention what happened to Danny, no need to stress him out over something that might not happen and he can't do anything about. Sam's parents start to mention another trip, and well, she does need to practice with the Amulet.
She gets a room set up in her house to hack from; they don't want any ghost related information on the line if someone traces the hack, and Tucker looks into the nearby companies Sam has a beef with. They settle on a target and the Mansons are off, with Tucker monitoring this time.
It goes well, Sam even remembers some of what went down this time. So they just keep doing it, and it is never anything they need to mention to Danny, so they just, don't.

#okay i feel like Danny would be more mad at them running off & doing shit without him & hiding things#than the actual ''villainy'' going on
#he'd probably just be like ''dont do that it's illegal but also WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING ME?? AREN'T WE A TEAM???''#''sooo disappointed in you guys''#''for being supervillains....?''#''.........sure''
#actually if i may be more angsty for a sec
#if theyre being villains on certain nights they arent there to help Danny with ghost shit#so like. he leaves them out of it because. well. they're not as involved as he is. they need rest & time to do all their stuff
#but like. turns out they had the time & energy to help him & instead of doing that#they were running around destroying shit?? & stealing & whatnot??? & they didnt even think to tell him or let him help at all????
#like he becomes a superhero & totally involves his friends in the process as much as they do or dont want to#but his friends become villains (or antiheroes depending on who you ask) & they purposefully keep him in the dark
#i'd be pissed ngl
Yeah you've basically articulated a good portion of the reason I originally had Danny be aware of, if not really involved in Sam's supervillain side hobby. But continuing thoughts about this version where he isn't aware...
I do think a fight between the trio when Sam's side hobby comes to light is pretty likely but I think in these circumstances it isn't a long lasting one.
Sam and Tucker should have told Danny. At least once it became a repeating thing. But in their defence, they've only been doing supervillainy during times that Sam's parents would have forced her to leave Amity Park anyway.
Plus the Amulet is dangerous. Without practice Sam is more likely to be a liability in a fight then an asset. Practicing in Amity Park is frankly a terrible idea, to many variables, to much potential for collateral damage. The Ghost Zone is an equally terrible idea, although less for collateral damage and more for pure chaos potential.
…Practicing outside of Amity Park is also a terrible idea. Even if they are specifically targeting currently empty buildings. Something can always go wrong, and as carefully as they might check these buildings for occupants before attacking, it doesn't mean they couldn't miss something. Or if a hero noticed what was going down and tried to stop her, things could go bad fast.
But anyway, back to Danny finding out. I think how bad the fight is would depend a fair bit on the circumstances behind the reveal (and how quickly that Sam and Tucker acknowledge they were wrong to exclude Danny.)
Danny finding out because a fight was going badly and Sam transforms to help him? A small argument, Danny is hurt by their secrecy, but also relieved that they won and glad that Sam can now use the Amulet to help in tough fights without to much risk of her becoming something he has to fight.
Danny finding out because they escalate from Supervillainy as practice when Sam is going to out of town anyway to deliberately leaving Amity Park for supervillain activities. Nasty fight, a lot of hurt feelings.
Danny finding out because they tell him that Sam had been practicing with the Amulet before using it to help Danny as Phantom but ever actually got around to mentioning what that 'practice' involved. Hilarious (possibly with a lot of exasperation and maybe annoyance about Sam's double standards of power usage).
Because this is the version where Amity Park is under a media blackout to some extent. I'd say most likely anything going out from Amity Park is being filtered for ghost content but outside media isn't being filtered much as it comes in (seems more feasible that way). So there are a several possibilities for how Danny discovers Sam's out of Amity Park activities.
The Fenton parents have been occasionally detecting Ghost activity outside of Amity Park and realize that is from that Phantom menace's blasted new ghost Dragon ally.
Vlad has realized what is going on and makes some sort of snide remark to Danny.
Valerie watches out of town news and sees something that has her coming after Dragon Sam.
Or what I think is the funniest option- this is how the Amity Park media blackout is breached.
Sam first appeared outside of Amity Park and lets say that by the time she feels in-control enough to help Danny she's already had some sort of encounter with a hero and/or had photos/videos of her in dragon form taken. She's classified as a magical supervillain and as a known entity the Amity Park Media Blackout doesn't filter her from out going media content.
So suddenly whatever algorithm the Justice League uses to watch for supervillains is pinging images and videos of this rarely seen supervillain in an otherwise unremarkable town.
They look into it of course. And either they notice the media blackout but think 'oh shit, a supervillain has taken over this town and we didn't notice'. Or they turn up in Amity Park utterly unaware of the chaos they are about to encounter.
You are 60% water and every lake, river, pond, swamp, creek, and ocean you encounter wants to reclaim it desperately. Be careful out there.
Good, I hope it haunts everyone about to enter a body of water so bad that they wear a life jacket. 🙌
Every single person I knew (past tense) who has drowned was "a strong swimmer." Water in the wild does not care how good you are at swimming.
I mean this with all due respect:
You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.
Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.
Shock does not care that you used to be on your school swim team.
If you hit your head, being good at swimming isn't going to turn you face-up while you're unconscious.
You may be unable to return to shore. Rescue may be unable to find you quickly.
Scheduling this for when weather starts warming up. Be careful swimming this summer
spent MONTHS looking for this stupid tumblr post bcuz i constantly want to reference it and it wouldn't come up no matter what i searched despite it being (what i thought) was a popular well-known tumblr post only to find that the original blog turned off reblogs and deactivated and that it only got 12k notes total. but im posting it anyway to preserve its legacy
Gomez and Morticia Addams got divorced. I woke up mortified and with a sense of inexplicable dread.
you literally don’t need any other plot and i would watch the movie
Every 'normal' adult is fussing around Pugsley and Wednesday because "poor children that must be so hard for you to see mom and dad break up like this"
But the kid are absolutely unfazed, arguing that "it's alright they will be together again soon". The normie are so sad for the "children clinging to vain hopes" until Morticia and Gomez get married again two weeks after the divorce.
In the meantime Mama and Uncle Fester fight about which one of them will go to whose custody.
They pretend to argue in court and at meeting with lawyers over the splitting of the properties but that's mostly Gomez insisting to leave more and more thing to his wife in an angry voice.
At home they decided not to talk to each other so Lurch has to (begrudgingly) transmit messages from one to the other, even when they are sat on either side of the table.
That works (more or less) then Morticia says one word in french and Gomez run to cover her with kisses until Morticia remind him that they are spliting (that's the only moment he seems to regret the whole thing)
This. All of this.
Wednesday offers to help with split custody of Pugsley. her suggestion involved a big table saw
They fight over who gets to hire the expensive big-firm lawyer and who gets to hire the up-and-coming rookie divorce lawyer. It's a whole Thing.
The up and coming lawyer is Thing?
when i was a tiny baby queer (aka a 24-year-old), i went to my first pride festival probably three months after i kicked ex-gay therapy to the curb and came out to my parents. being the people they are, my parents came with me. they weren’t really sure about this whole gay thing, but they loved me and wanted me to be safe and happy and wanted to be involved in what was important to me, so they came along. (i also think my mother still might have thought i might get drugged or murdered or beaten by a protester of which there were plenty.)
anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.
i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”
and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.
“What?” i say.
“…it’s a cock and a pussy, Jules,” she says flatly, and that is the story of how i died at the age of 24 while attending my first pride festival.
I love how every June this one gets dug up and passed around again, lmao.
oh no is this what we’re doing now
…relic…

Is this a problem?
if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"
