I’d like to introduce Phantomine! It’s my multimedia based lore series (with more!) about 17 year old Danny Fenton from Danny Phantom who has to solve the mystery of an elusive new newspaper distributing locker and who is behind it! It’s released on exclusively on my Instagram (@illustraice) with newspapers, radio and more such as real live websites with passcodes!
Them acting like this is some epic reunion like they don't sleep in the same bed most night's and a smooch for good luck that will only work for one of them ig
the thing about kageyama is that he was never mean. and the show works really hard to make it clear that he was never malicious or mean spirited. and so he doesn’t have to have a redemption arc, his character arc becomes centered around understanding, trust, and love. he isn’t learning how to be kind, he’s always been kind. he is learning how to see other people and learning how to know other people. he always loved volleyball but now he loves his team. and he really really loves hinata
There’s a part of almost every Ghost King Danny-centered reveal fic that’s both tragic and hilarious to me.
The irony inherent in Danny’s relationship to his parents is cranked up to 11.
Cruel Irony™ is something most reveal fics hinge on anyway, but there’s something about Danny being the Ghost King that adds an extra layer to it.
Not only did they not notice their son was a ghost, they didn’t notice their son was King Ghost.
He’s the ghost. The Number 1, prime example the thing they study. The most ghost out of all the ghosts. They’re supposed to be the world’s most renowned ghost experts and this completely flew under their radar.
And of course this isn’t just about them as scientists, but them as parents.
Their kid went off and spent years spilling enough blood and tears to earn himself the position of ruler of an entire dimension and they’re… scolding him for not doing his chores? Exasperated because he’d rather sleep than do homework? Where were they all that time? What were they doing? Oh that’s right, they were down in their basement inventing new ways to torture him.
You get the usual reveal fic stuff: the guilt, the realization of who they’ve been shooting at, the understanding that Phantom was actually a genuinely good person, Danny taking their years of research and grinding it into the dust by debunking their theories as wildly incorrect nonsense, all that. I just think it’s a little extra official when there’s an entire dimension ready to back him up, saying, yeah, this person is someone who’s worthy of a throne. (Unspoken: and you’re nowhere near his level.)
Like, the sheer amount of insult to injury going on. The salt being rubbed into wounds. The irony.
Imagine messing up at your job that badly. How do you even get up from that.
Could you maybe do something with ghost king Danny attending ua, and with the dorm system they find out? I absolutely adore reveals, and I just think it would be hilarious to see how his classmates could find out, and their reactions! :)
It was supposed to be a normal night.
Everything in the day had gone perfectly. He aced his math test in Ectoplasm's class. Managed to stay awake in Cementoss' class. Absolutely kicked ass with Kirishima and Jirou during foundational heroics, and remembered to call his parents and tell them how school was doing. With enough time to spare for homework.
But just as he was getting settled in, there was a pull at his core.
His transformation came without his permission, and he realized with horror that he was in the outfit that he wore to Council meetings. Fuck-what was happening? Why was his whole body being covered with light? What the fuck was going on?
He tried to resist the pull, but all it did was make his chest ache like a motherfucker. He kept trying though, until he cried out in pain. The bright light enveloped him and in the blink of an eye he was...
In the common room?
He was floating above a sigil that had been painted on a large blanket of canvas, with candles surrounding him. Below him were his very confused classmates, and in the kitchen with a mug halfway to his face was a very wide-eyed homeroom teacher.
"Yo, what the fuck is going on?" Kaminari asked, breaking the tense silence.
"Uh...I think you guys just summoned me on accident?" He asked, stepping down to the ground. He was hyperaware of the crown of ice floating above his head, and the Cape of Constellations brushing his calves.
"We-I was trying to summon the King of Ghosts," Tokoyami stuttered out. "I didn't think it would actually-Danny, are you...The King of Ghosts?"
All of his classmate's eyes were on him. Even Bakugou had stopped whatever he was doing to look at him. In the kitchen, Aizawa's expression was expertly blank, which probably meant he was absolutely furious.
"Uh...I can explain?"
"Please do," Aizawa said as he grabbed his mug and walked to the common room. He stood behind a bewildered Tokoyami. "Please, tell me how my student is apparently the King of Ghosts."
"Well-er, you see," Danny rubbed the back of his neck nervously as he looked from one surprised face to the next. "Almost a year ago there was this big bad guy named Pariah Dark who was let out of his Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep and I helped beat him? And because I was the one that defeated him, by ghost law, I'm the one who has to run the Ghost Zone now."
"I think you misunderstand me," Aizawa says. His voice his horrifyingly calm considering the situation. "Let's rewind to the part where you're apparently a ghost."
"Oh, well, you guys all know about my parents, right? They're a little crazy when it comes to ghosts, and um-well, to make a long story short I got into a lab accident and I sort of...Died? But I'm still alive? It's-I don't really know how the science works, if I'm being honest. But. Yeah. They call me a halfa-half ghost, half human. Half alive, half...dead."
The class was stunned into silence. Danny was so nervous, he knows for a fact that the temperature dropping was his doing and not the AC being fucky again. He really hadn't wanted anybody to find out, let alone like this. And now they were going to think he was a freak. It was just like Spectra said. He's just a creepy little boy with creepy little powers and-"
"What was your quirk before you died?" Tsu asked. Because of course she was going to. She was one of the most observant kids in the class, and the was the one blunt enough to ask what everybody was now thinking. He could feel his face heat up with shame as he looked down, avoiding everybody's gazes.
"I was quirkless before my accident," he tells them. His voice his quiet, but the room is quieter. When he speaks, nobody has a problem being able to hear him.
He hates it. He hates this. He hates being the center of attention. He feels like an exposed nerve that they're all twanging, playing him until he finally snaps. He feels like there's ants under his skin and he can't help but shrink in on himself.
"Do your parents know?" Aizawa asks him. He knows about his parent's reputation as ghost hunters. For their son to be one, it certainly doesn't paint a pretty picture. But thankfully this is one question he doesn't have to worry about.
"Yeah, they do. I told them right before the entrance exam. They-they're helping me out. They've been really supportive. Honestly, I should have told them sooner."
"So do you have any other cool ghost friends?" Uraraka asks. It's enough to break the tension, and Aizawa is looking a little concerned, but not enough to keep pressing. His classmates however, bombard him with questions.
"Are you a ghost hunter too?"
"Is that why you have so many powers?"
"Do ghosts quirks transfer over to the afterlife or do they get a new power depending on how they died?"
"How do the constellations in your cape move like that?"
It's a lot of questions all at once, and Iida, thank time, forces everybody to raise their hands like their in class. But none of them...Care. They probably care that he died in the first place, but they don't care that he's a real ghost-or the Ghost King-and none of them care that he was quirkless. It's so much more than he could have ever asked for.
He looks over at Aizawa, who's back to watching from his spot in the kitchen. He's doesn't bother trying to hide his mischievous grin in his scarf like he usually does as revels in the chaos in front of him. Danny looks to Tokoyami, because it was he apparently who brought Danny downstairs. And, with a completely straight face, says some very off the wall, on brand-Tokoyami shit he's ever heard.
Love the idea of the Danny phantom universe having multiple afterlifes based on different mythologies and all of them have:
A ruler. ie Hades, Hel, Osiris etc.
A division between where the good souls and bad souls go.
A reliable way to use the powers of said afterlife or summon the creatures that reside there.
At least one death god or being that guides new souls to the realm.
And then you have The Ghost Zone, where,
They had a ruler, once. Then he got himself trapped for eternity in a sarcophagus and no one has proclaimed themselves ruler since. Also some kid who technically isn’t even dead beat the king in ritual combat and now has both the title of king and the crown but neither of those things mean anything anymore because the inhabitants made a whole anarchic society with no central ruler in the time since Pariah Dark was defeated and no one (including the new king) wants to go back to a monarchy.
Literally no separation between the good and bad. David Goodperson, who died rescuing a dog from a burning building lives right next to Alexander Warcrimes, who died how he lived, committing war crimes.
No surefire way to summon anything. You can summon the ghost king reliably, but all that does now is summon a sassy 14 year old child who’s been dead for less than a year. You can TRY to summon something else, but good luck getting anything you summon to do anything for you because zone ghosts don’t have any restrictions or rules that force them to listen to you when summoned. Also they can’t give humans any powers without using possession so it’s less “untold power in exchange for your mind and/or soul” and more “I’m going to let you use my body as a puppet and hope to god you do what I told you to do”. And that’s not even mentioning that fact that all spellbooks capable of accessing the ghost zone are written in the ghost zone’s native language, which is impossible to speak in the human tongue and infamously difficult to translate.
No confirmed death gods or other beings that guide souls. It’s got a bunch of non death gods, but they all keep to themselves so much that they’re considered myths by the zone ghosts themselves. You also don’t really get GUIDED to the zone more than you END UP in the zone. No one there is really sure how they ended up in the ghost zone, they just died a really traumatic death or had a bunch of unfinished business and just. Woke up there Skyrim style.
as promised, here is music au percabeth for Met Gala Heavenly Bodies inspired by the Bourges Cathedral. disclaimer: I am not a fashion designer and I was dead tired when I made this. au masterlist
