Hi I'm Kerm and I write sometimes (mostly just dropping prompts rather than any real writing) and at some point as I write more things this is where my master list links will be.
ten year old Tim Drake having a minor phase of liking archeology bcs of his parents so he starts digging shit up in his garden, but because he’s Tim Fucking Drake he does it too well and accidentally unearths one of the tunnels that connects to the fucking batcave.
ten year old Tim Drake who already knew who Batman and Robin were, finding out he now has a secret tunnel in his garden connecting his house to their lair, and he’s just like ‘fuck yeah that’s cool.’ and starts exploring.
thirteen year old Jason Todd bored and fucking around alone in the batcave system when he comes across a fucking ten year old who knows his identity, clearly idolises the hell out of him, and is just kinda wandering around the cave system alone and completely chill about it. they see a super dangerous spider and Tim just starts info-dumping on the species. when asked if he has a curfew to go back home by he goes ‘uh, July i guess? that’s when mom and dad get back.’ it is early February.
thirteen year old Jason Todd who takes a minute and then goes ‘ok this is funny as fuck i promise i won’t snitch to Bruce.’
Jason Todd and Tim Drake being secret cave buddies. Jason Todd and Tim Drake hanging out in the tunnels and making fun of Batman and Nightwing from the shadows. Tim Drake who has to buy a whole new set of night-vision camera lenses for his new photo album that’s just photos and selfies of him and his new best friend Robin fucking around in the underground pitch-dark.
Jason Todd who dies, gets revived, is told by Talia that Tim Drake has ‘replaced him’ unknowing they’re already friends, and Jason who all he can think of is that time they played hide and seek in the cave system and Tim clung to the fucking ceiling via a stalactite for 45 minutes straight. Jason Todd who just looks at Talia and goes ‘yeah sounds about right for him.’
Jason Todd being told he has to deliver Damian to Bruce and he decides ‘absolutely the fuck not’ to the idea of even touching the front door. they have a Ring camera he is not getting caught on that bullshit.
Jason Todd who just goes to Drake Manor and uses Tim’s old entrance to get into the tunnels, his home away from home, dragging Damian along, until he gets to a spot where he can secretly signal into the batcave for Tim to sneak the fuck away.
fifteen year old Tim Drake who gets called into the tunnels to find the Red Hood, unmasked as Jason, presenting to him a random child which he declares to be the son of Batman.
fifteen year old Tim Drake who comes full circle and says ‘ok this is funny as fuck i promise i won’t snitch to Bruce.’
the cave boys are reunited. a third is added to the club. a new photo album is filled. when Tim brings Damian up through the tunnels into the cave he looks Bruce dead in the eyes and says fully straight-faced ‘this is your cave son. i found him wandering, he was born from the shadows of the bat.’
eleven year old Damian Al Ghul-Wayne who’s spent the past three and a half years under Jason Todd’s influence and sombrely declares ‘the cave birthed me for you, father. i am darkness. i am your child.’
Yes, I do think that the city who heavily relies on their teenage superheroes because they are suffering under an emotional terrorist that doesn’t let them feel any sort of negative emotion lest they end up hurting the people that they love and whose literal only hope is, again, their teenage superheroes would end up being super fucking odd and super attached to said heroes.
And yes, I do think Paris would genuinely freak the hell out if they lost one of their superheroes. (They retired, they were permanently injured, they died, they moved to another city, etc.)
And yes, I do think they freak out badly.
And yes, I do think the fan culture there would be borderline cultish because they can’t (are not allowed to) feel negative emotions.
And yes, I do think Paris would riot if Gotham tried to steal one of their superheroes or if one of their superheroes left for Gotham. And if that superhero came back it would just be the ‘welcome home cheater’ meme.
Any city where the entire population (no matter who they are) could have their emotions used against them and be possessed by the weird magical abilities of some moth guy and be forced to hurt the people around you is just going to be a breeding ground for unhealthy personalities and attachment styles and habits and behaviours.
'Jason didn't want to go to Gotham he only went because Damian went and he wanted to keep Damian safe' YES. GOOD. BUT LET ME RAISE YOU: Damian had no interest in going to Gotham, and he only went because Talia pulled the good ol' trick of 'you can only go if you take your little brother' and Jason had to drag Damian along in order to get permission.
"Fine." Talia said, crossing her arms as Jason perked up. "I will fund it, and allow permission for the league to provide assistance with whatever you need to establish a base in Gotham. But," She added, raising an eyebrow. "You have to take your brother with you. I want him to experience Gotham and train under his father's tutelage. You can only go if you take him."
Delighted, Jason grinned and spun around to stare across the room at where Damian was sat, book in hand. Damian made eye contact with him, face blank in the face of his older brother's hopefulness.
"No." He told him dryly. Jason's face collapsed.
~
"C'mon, Dames! It will be fun! We can go sightseeing!"
"I'm. Not. Going."
"But Talia said I can't go if you don't come!"
"That's not my problem. Gotham is a shithole."
"But you'll get to meet your dad."
"I've gotten this far without Bruce Wayne imposing a curfew on me, I'm not giving that up now."
"But Damian-"
"NO."
"YOU'RE SO STUBBORN."
~
eventually jason bribes/drags damian along with him and damian is just. supremely pissed off about it. he's not usually Like This, he's actually usually quite an easy-going kid; but he is not happy about being forced to play along as 'son of the bat' just so jason gets to play crime lord and kill the joker, so he's mostly acting up in an attempt to get kicked out and sent back to the league. jason gets weekly voice messages from the poor kid just angrily ranting about how ridiculous it is that they haven't reached their limit with him yet.
"first thing i did when i got there was fully insult their beloved pennyworth and then start treating everybody like they were my servant, and then last night i legitimately tried to murder tim. you know what bruce did akhi? do you? he grounded me for a weekend. like what the fu-"
-
"i stabbed one of my classmates with a fork and dick took me out for fucking ice cream and told me it was ok to struggle with adjusting like what the fuck do i have to fucking do to get sent back to nanda parbat this is ridiculous. you know tim offered to teach me how to skateboard yesterday? i publicly tried to poison him last week and he does not care. i dunno what the fuck you did to him at titans tower but that little bitch is fucking immune to people trying to kill him. i overheard him and bruce talking about giving me robin. GIVING ME ROBIN- ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!?! WHY AM I BEING PROMOTED HERE? at this point i might just kill myself."
-
"Have you considered just playing happy family with them?" Jason asked him one night, during a phone call taking place while Damian was actively building a smoke bomb to set off in Dick's bedroom.
"Have you considered killing yourself and this time fucking staying there?"
"Sheesh." He snorted. "You're grumpy tonight."
"They're taking me to a fucking movie premier tomorrow. I'm gonna be on the red carpet."
"Oh shit what movie?"
"THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT."
anyway fuck damian dedicating his life to being bruce's blood son give me damian who absolutely despises everything about this and give me jason who enjoys watching his little brother suffer immensely.
Considering how Ivan like the music, I headcanon that he's Black Canary's son (well, his little sister too is BC's daughter) and wherever Raul tried to convince him following his step, BC punch this man's face and say: "Stop making him evil, you heartless jerk!"
If we were to combine this to the Miraculi class are related to villains au then honestly I think it'd be so funny because then that makes him related to Chloe and Zoe and that is SOMETHING to unpack for sure.
If not well then the dynamic of Ivan and BC is honestly still super interesting because like why did she move him to Paris? Why does she not put this kid in THERAPY???
WHY DOES SHE NOT LIKE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE MIRACULI STUFF GOING ON??? Does she even know??? Also picturing BC punching her like super evil ex because he's trying to force their kids to be evil masterminds is super funny.
I just think that her being in here is such a nice difference to like the Batfam randomly appearing in Paris to scope it out because BC would have a legit reason to be in this. And I like to think that the reason why she has the kids in Paris to begin with is because she assumed they'd be safer with the JL Europe division and from their father and all the things she has to deal with in the States but that obviously backfires badly when Hawkmoth appears.
Maybe she originally planned to join her kids in Paris but once the Miraculi situation happens she isn't permitted to be in Paris for like the balance of the world or something. I love the idea of the miraculi themselves being the reason for the essential "shut out" of all heroes to be involved instead of Paris just kinda shutting out everyone
((I was an original contender for that idea in the old maribat days but not so much now, still a fun one tho!))
So like smthing like this happens:
BC: "So why exactly can I not barge in there and...
s a v e my c h i l d r e n ? ? ?"
Constantine, smoking a cigarette: "Life-Balance, mate. If we even slightly attempt to tip the scales of either side of a miraculi fight then it can lead to the end of the world. Better to leave those fuckers at it so your kids have a fighting chance"
WW, nods solemnly: "It's true I'm afraid. I've been told the stories of when people attempted to intervene when my mother was a Champion... it led to.. unsavory conclusions for those involved. Including a cataclysmic event that was not reversable"
BC, gritting her teeth: "Fine. For now, I won't interfere- but make no mistake! The very second one of my children call me for help, I'll be taking the nearest Zetatube to Paris and none of you, not even Oliver will be able to stop me!"
(End scene or wtv)
But anyways!
That idea brings up like her probably losing her mind that she CANT get to her kids. Especially since Raul gets free at some point? After that event she'd be fighting EVERYONE and ANYTHING to get to her kids who are practically entangled into the hero life even MORE without her even knowing.
She wanted her kids to be safe somewhere from the hero life and look what it brought her? Ruin in another country, far from their grasp and unable to protect them. Not even knowing her son was following in her footsteps after all that time apart either.
"In other news, the newly discovered Infinite Realms, an alien dimension that sits right next to our own, has announced that they do not believe in America."
"...What?" Flash asks, protein bar halfway to his mouth. He's in the cafeteria of the Watchtower, and he's not the only one with his eyes pinned to the TV.
"I'm not sure I understand, Linda, can you clarify what they mean by that?" The male reporter asks, smile strained.
"Certainly, Todd. The Infinite Realms has stated that they do not believe that the United States of America is a real country, and as such, will not seek to make any deals or treaties with them."
Wonder Woman raises an eyebrow, leaning back in her seat.
"Then...then what do they think America is?" Todd asks from the TV, sounding a little desperate.
"Apparently, they view America as 'a collection of toddlers that bathe in money pretending like they own the world'."
Green Arrow starts laughing so hard he dry heaves.
"I apologize for repeating myself but did I hear you correctly? Did you seriously summon me just to... what was it?"
Damian watched carefully as the supposed demon flicked its tailed end in thought, trying to recollect the entire conversation they had up until this point. Johnathan stayed behind him, shaking like a fall leaf as he stared, wided eyed above at it.
Overall this reaction was not a surprise. In fact, based of the topic itself, the demon was displaying an entirely fair reaction of confusion.
"Oh, right!" The shadowed demon snapped its fingers quickly as it remembered, neon green eyes training its focus back onto them.
"To play chaperone?"
Despite it being against his usual reflexes, Damian felt his skin crawl and he knows Jon felt it as well. He nodded at the demons choice of words, watching as its eyes seemed to gain slight mischief at the idea.
This idea was a very terrible one, but he needed a very specific companion if he was going to make this plan go through. It was the type of thing they could never go to his brothers for.
And asking his father or Pennyworth was out of the question. The mission could only succeed with outside help.
This was the only way.
The shadowed demon seemed to mull it over a few more seconds before finally chuckling, a raspy sounding thing that reminded Damian of static and nails on chalkboards combined.
"Very well. I'll accompany you on this 'journey' ...but it will come with a very specific price."
Jon seemed to hitch his breath at that implication but Damian paid no mind to it. He simply planted his feet further into the ground and summoned the Demons Heir tone he was born into.
"And what is this request. My liege?"
The shadowed demon chuckled, using the moment to cause a swirling of wind and neon green light at the center of the summoning circle that was too much to see for either him or Jon.
Once the timed tornado finished, all that could be revealed was a teenage boy around Timothys age standing in the middle.
The boy looked at the two of them and grinned cheekily, ice blue eyes trained onto both of them. He was obviously amused.
"You guys have to buy me my own large popcorn and soda."
Back with Inmate Danny AU: I think Bane or Killer Croc actually might be accidentally hitting Danny too much since they just want to give Danny some patting (I dunno lol).
I MISSED THIS AU SO MUCH WELCOME BACKKKKKKKK
Okay so the image of that is HILARIOUS because does this means one of two things could be happening.
One, Danny is just letting these big guys practically throw him through the concrete without even thinking twice of their actions being malicious (which fair enough if he's been in their long enough to know the difference) and not even batting an EYE about it.
And while yes it hurts it doesn't hurt to the extent that a normal HUMAN would feel because he is undead and has abnormal levels of strength himself so obviously he also has abnormal levels of protection against larger forces too.
Or two, Danny can't even feel it.
And when I say this I mean like they pat him and Danny goes through the action of getting roughed up and maybe he even gets smacked so hard (on accident) that he goes through the jail floor but even then, Danny feels no pain whatsoever.
I really wanna lean into the whole Danny can't feel it when they pat him because it makes him seem even WEIRDER to the staff at Arkham who are about 300% sure every time Bane or Waylon pats Danny, he should be dead.
Not to mention, I think Danny would just find it funny because it usually happens when he's not in his ghost mode so he just looks even LESS like someone the real scary inmates want to mess with.
That and he fights the DEAD on the daily, that stuff hurts way more then anything Killer Croc or Bane put him through on accident. But that also poses the question of just HOW MUCH pain can he be put through to even know that getting smacked by the 2 biggest guys in the jail would feel like getting pinched by a bug.
Not to mention HOW did he find that out????
Is this guy OKAY??? Like-
When the PhD (Literally the Rogues lmao) gang finds out he can't feel shit in either form though they collectively worry and are also eager to once again, study him for combat uses because ooooooooohh he's even MORE batproof!
There’s no way Jason isn’t used to being called by different names.
The working girls in the narrows call him sparks, for almost setting a harasser on fire that one time.
While the small Asian restaurant owner calls him Kuro, like her black cat, while she sneaks him leftovers when she can.
And many more small encounters, each carrying a new name to the little firey street child.
Being identifiable on the streets only spell trouble, so barely anyone knows anyone’s real names.
Jason likes all of his names, and even when sneaking out of manor and while his face has been plastered everywhere as the new Wayne child. They all still faithfully call him Sparks and Kuro.
I love the thought of Marinette and Damian being siblings (half, adoptive, or not) because the dynamic is two highly capable, very skilled young people and their inability to not help people. Damian reluctantly is very fond of her, and Marinette has always wanted a sibling (headcannon?) so she just jumps right in.
Damian is like: well, I guess that if one were to press me, I would say you were… adequate company.
While Marinette little miss friendship and kindness is more feral about it like: I would literally die for you. Murder is not okay, duh, unless…
This isn’t to say that Marinette is ‘the violent one’ I just think that a girl who literally jumped twenty feet up and landed in a piggyback position on Kagami’s back just to greet and say hi to the girl because she was that excited to see her would have a lot of love to give and sometimes that love is wanting to bite someone.
Not sexually. Just bite. Like a dog.
And Damian would be, like, ‘I’d die for you or whatever’ in the way teenage girls do when they want to express their love for you but also want to be cool and nonchalant about it.
Eventually they probably do get to a point where they’re like ‘oh, I’d die and kill for them; they won’t know until it happens but my love for them would in fact be the cause of SOMEONE’S death if it came down to it’.
Damian would look at Marinette and go ‘What a little freak’ and then launch himself at anyone else who said the exact same thing.
Tim, unpromoted: Jason I hope next time you die that Bruce cremates you and that Damian feeds your ashes to his pet cow so you'll officially be the hugest piece of sh*t in the batcave.
Jason: Well I hope you get a chronic illness that leaves you bedridden and hooked up to fifteen different machines so you'll have an actual excuse to look like a disgusting sickly Victorian child.
Damian, not a part of the conversation: I wish for the both of you to mysteriously vanish without a trace for twenty years so by time Father has died the fortunate had never touched either of you unworthy vermin and by time we stumble upon your corpses we mix them up and you will forever be doomed to be known as the other without any way to correct us from beyond the grave.
Dick: I wish I fell with my parents right now...
Cassandra: I wish for all of you to disappear right before Bruce dies so I may take the cowl and taunt you all with my superiority.
Bernard Dowd, an only child, staring in absolute horror: GUYS THIS IS A JENGA GAME!?!?
Tim: And they're all CHEATING!!!
Damian: TAKE THAT BACK YOU WALKING PESTILENCE!!!
Duke: Oh, yeah, because out of us all you would NEVER cheat likE YOU DID WITH MONOPOLY!!!
Oops, I mean Damian. I forgot Cass is the Owl one (so the Owl might be like the Owlman from legends with the abilities of great vision to attacks her enemies down).
Also dw I understood u meant Dames anon lol.
Damian as the Raven lowkey does make sense since Ravens are known to particularly smart birds. They're also very dependent on a form of flock and are great mimickers which Damian himself is known to be EXCEPTIONAL at doing
Maybe Goose as a reference to Swan Lake? I can see Steph using the ballet skills to knocked her enemies. Raven Miraculous as the reference to Morrigan, basically summoned giant scythe or dark creatures for Cass?
Okay well if we're going that route then Id switch the animals around a bit and make CASS the goose since she takes up dancing canonically since it's the most like her form of fight language that she learns as a kid.
She is a ballet dancer as well im pretty sure in Wayne Family Adventures but Im not sure how much that concept translates on the comics since im barely starting her Batgirl era with Batgirl 2000 lol.
Steph also being the user for the owl makes sense because owls have a keen since of picking out their pray in hard to spot places and thats essentially what Stephanie used to do before taking om the Batgirl role as Spoiler.
She picked out her pray (her dad and associates) to hunt them and spoil their plans.
I'm gonna have an idea for this with the Native American Miraculous and the Batchildren: Damian with Raven Miraculous, Dick with Thunderbird Miraculous, Cass with Owl Miraculous, Jason with Falcon Miraculous, Tim with Woodpecker Miraculous and Steph with Goose Miraculous. (I know we haven't seen those miraculouses yet beside the Eagle and the Thunderbird ones but I kinda wanna see them in the future. So basically: Birdkids)
So I don't know if we even know what's in that Miracle Box yet but I personally think it'd be Leagues funnier if maybe everyone BUT Jason would ever get a miraculous.
Whether from this box or the main one the show focuses on, it would make it seem like he just doesn't have the potential to be a magical girl when in reality he was already one ages before the rest of the team even was with the All-Blades situation.
Everyone else however, ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. Like Im sorry but all of them having been bird themed in some shape or form after their Robin era only to go on to have bird personas in a DIFFERENT form
10/10. Hilarious
It lowkey reminds me of that one like set of Batman movies where they like traveled to ancient Japan I think and they like BECAME apart of that but still held parts of themselves inside of that portion of time? Thats how I'd see it going with the miraculous
Also I lowkey wonder what the powers for these miraculous would even be considering the choices you've given for animals. Not to mention the WEAPONS have to be even odder then our usual shenanigans for the show honestly
Overall, Birds just becoming even more birdy is hilarious and makes the most sense
Danny being a gas attendant that has to fill up the gas for like the majority of Gotham and one day the like batmobile or whatever pulls up bc the batkids stole it to fuckin get batburger or something idk
Danny PRAYS New Jersey, specifically Gotham, never changes.
It's such a strange city to have moved into after spending over a decade in Illinoi's most famous Ghost haunting city. Which, admittedly, sounds like it'd be stranger but it really... isn't.
Not compared to this anyways.
Ya see, the very last thing Danny had EVER expected when taking this night shift gas attendant job was to see actual vigilantes and villains as customers in general.
Honestly, he expected that if anything, they would buy or even just steal the gas they needed discreetly if they REALLY needed their tanks filled. That and for the sake of their wallets since the cars he has seen the past few weeks since starting have been eat gas at ridiculous amounts.
His most favorite interaction up until tonight was when the Penguin had come in the oldest form of fancy car he had ever seen. Mr. Cobblepot had taken one look at Danny's sorry state (blame university) and had practically thrown wads of cash at him while Danny pumped the gas into his car.
It was strangely kind?
Danny didn't use any of the money considering Mr.Cobblepot had very obviously just stolen it from the bank with Two-Face but it was a nice gesture overall.
Either way, Danny has what he likes to think is a very smart and genuine belief that villains and heroes (at least in this city) should buy their gas and have it delivered home.
Especially the vigilantes.
There has to be a use for those Justice League funds somewhere, right???
But then again..
It wouldn't make nights like tonight any fun.
Nights where he's gone from shivering in the cold air of New Jersey during winter despite being inside, to suddenly cracking up like he'd been hit by Joker Gas at the sight of a 80 mph Batmobile on the street blasting Alter Ego by Doechii.
He's almost sure that the car would be pulling into the gas station within the next 30 minutes just based on how it was being driven overall. Nothing about it was like the usual, mostly contained speed the Bat would use.
Not to mention the music choice being a dead give away.
So Danny waited those few minutes, warming up his arms as best as he could by continuously rubbing the cold off. He didn't have to wait very long either, the sleek black car making its way in almost immediately after 10 minutes.
He watched as the car window rolled down slowly before revealing a very calm Black Bat in the drivers seat. She seemed to smirk at his surprise and if he was honest, it made him shiver slightly from a tiny bit of fear.
"Are you planning to stare for the rest of the night at one another or are you planning to actually complete your tasks for the night, Sir?"
The voice broke him out of that fear given trance rather quickly, making him turn to look at the backseat to see who else was inside of the bat mobile. Danny honestly felt all the joy he had grow ten times at the sight.
Inside of the backseat was Robin and Red Robin sort of squished together between what looked and smelled like layers upon layers of Batburger to-go bags. Red Robin was draping himself all over the backseat and was practically squishing Robin against the window nearest to Danny while grinning at his phone.
The only sign RR noticed Danny even being there was the peace sign he threw up in his direction without even looking up from his phone.
Robin continued to scowl at Danny from the back too, which just made Danny choke back a cackle even more. The kid reminded him of a badly scuffed up kitten on a car ride from the vets office.
"Well?" Robin huffed out, puffing his chest in what Danny could only assume to be an attempt at intimidation. "Are you?"
Danny just smiled at the kid and leaned back out of the car to look at the front seats passenger whilst nodding as a response. Spoiler waved at him from the passenger seat once she noticed he had noticed her finally.
Honestly Danny doesn't really get paid enough to care about this for too long. So he does what he does best usually in situations just like this, he minds his business.
He's quick to go over to grab the nozzle to start pumping the gas into the bat mobile and feels all his joy RISE EVEN HIGHER at the sight of a BAT THEMED GAS LID COVER when going to pump.
Overall, this night was shaping off to be pretty great.
And if Danny ended up getting a selfie with the fuckin BAT MOBILE and the BAT CREW to send to Tucker and Sam before it drove like a bat out of hell (ha) from the station blasting more very Un-Batman like music?
That's no ones business but his, the very grainy and shitty gas station security cameras he totally didn't erase for the 4th time that week, and the Batmobile itself with its 4 passengers.
I feel like a lot of people in the DcxDp fanbase dont consider the potential of overshadowing/possession often.
More specifically, Danny having to deal with overshadowing/possession while out of his Phantom form. I wanna imagine that Danny honestly has issues with having it happen to him but also understands where some of these ghosts are coming from when they posess him.
Usually, in those cases, it's a necessity for the fate of the planet or whatever, but it doesn't necessarily make Danny less uncomfortable with his body just being taken over like that.
Not to mention that the only reason any of this is possible is because hes the biggest anomaly of all time, being half dead and half living. To the ghost world, he is LITERALLY the bridge between life and death, making it THAT MUCH EASIER for him to be possessed due to the connection he has being half dead himself.
Being less dead makes it hard for humans to be overshadowed unless they've also had a near death or complete death experience. Brushing with death or beyond brushing makes you more susceptible to overshadowing as a whole, basically.
I like to imagine that when he does get possessed, instead of with thay freakshow episode it instead presents itself like that one scene of Aang being turned into his past life of that one avatar that was on trial, Avatar Kyoshi.
Except its Phantom getting possesed/changed into whoever is overshadowing him entirely.
Where Im inevitably going with this is maybe one day Danny Fenton is running from a mugger at night when he runs into a very specific alleyway where a very specific set of people died.
And maybe this one day, Batman happened to be nearby and was going to visit the area when he stumbled on a teenager, shivering in slight fear and looking worse for wear. And maybe on top of all that Martha and Thomas Wayne have been haunting thay alley way since death and Martha seeing the chance to speak to her son, takes it.
So the one time Bruce and Danny do meet, Bruce almost jolts out of his skin when the kid suddenly obtains the ability to look and sound like his dead mother and oh my god it IS her she is literally lecturing him about being a vigilante??!!
But yeah.
Basically, overshadowing working like sort of "let's change into whoever is possessing me!" And when the ghost releases itself, Danny goes back to normal
Also I think itd be cool if Danny as Phantom, wants to he can just like hold out his hands at any point and make the ghost in whatever room theyre become visible to the human eye and have the ability to speak with the living but it ends up sounding like those ghost boxes from those supernatural ghost shows.
Imagine it like that scene from Lilo & Stitch where Stitch has his finger on the record player and opens his mouth to release the sound from the Elvis vinyl lmao
