#danny phantom au

I wanted some practice designing and drawing mobility aids, so here's Danno as a wheelchair user!

Partially inspired by tsubaki's Phantom comic! This isn't set in the AU, I just read this comic and decided to have my own go at designing and writing a disability AU.

Some wheelchair design details/AU explanation under the cut!

In trying to make logical design decisions, I ended up writing a bit of an AU for this!

He's an ambulatory wheelchair user- meaning he can feel and move his legs and he can stand, but not for long period and not without some balance issues. He uses a cane to stand.

I was going to draw his chair as having stickers, painted on stars, lights, and other decorations, but I figured Danny would probably keep the decorations pretty limited- mainly because he wants to keep a low profile. The iridescent film wrapped around the spokes and the crochet cover on the chairs back are as loud as I reckon he would want to be. This is absolutely NOT just because I didn't want to keep drawing stickers all over the chair consistently. Nope.

Here's the 3D model I made! It's not very detailed, I just needed it to use as a reference:

Some other AU details I thought of:

This AU is set when Danny is 16 and Jazz is 18. She drives him to school in the GAV because her car was too small to fit the chair into without phasing it in

In ghost form, he exclusively uses his spectral tail. Floating or flying with his legs isn't comfortable.

He keeps his thermos in the the hammock under the seat, but also stores a notebook full of outlandish stories he tells people when they ask how he became paralyzed. Sam comes up with the best fake stories. Iirc this is something that Garrett from Superstore does- don't quote me though.

His left side is worse/more painful than the right due to pushing the portal button with his left. He always uses the cane on his right side, and that's why it's stored on that side too.

The cane is stored sideways because it's length fits within the chair, and keeping it close by keeps it out of the way of others.

I didn't draw it clearly this way, but on top of there being spikes on the handlebars to prevent people from pushing him around, he'd also be able to remove the handles.

Danny picked the colours of yarn Jack used for the crochet.

Danny wears gloves to protect his hands from the wheels, and he bought his first pair. Sam bought him more, in a variety of colours- as well as an expensive wool lined pair for winter.

Danny wears long sleeves and gloves to hid lichtenberg figure scars on his arms.

Danny's hair is going white at the base of his head was, of course, inspired by izbubbles and tatumsdrawing

Tucker bought him the little hip bag/bum bag/fanny pack- whatever you want to call it- as a joke. Danny hates how useful he finds it.

He doesn't use his ability to float to help him stand or walk, it messes with his center of gravity too much and makes his balance issues worse

I'm not a mobility aid user, and while I tried to educate myself about mobility aids- how they're used, how/why certain chair features suit people's needs, etc- I am still learning.

Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Edgelord #1 and edgelord #2 coming through

[mits-mits]

So I've recently come across this really cool post by @isosceles-is-never-here and GOT ABSALUTLY HOOKED ON THE IDEA.

I think that in my version, Danny is a hero, which travels down to the underworld to visit the shade of an old friend (Haven't decided who yet). The only reason he is able to get inside the underworld in the first place is because of his half ghost and shade king status. Unfortunately, Hades does not appreciate him being in the underworld, so he has to fight his way down.

At first he uses his ghost form to try and sneak around but gets recognized very fast.

Every time he gets all the way down, he has only a few hours before he gets sent back to the surface.

Zagreus can encounter him when he stops to rest, in a room packed full of shades. He gives Zag the option to trade some boons with him, and as the relationship gets more hearts, he eventually appears in the lounge from time to time to hang out before he is returned back to the surface.

Zagreus escape attempts are useful to him since they distract Hades from his own break-in attempts, so if they find themselves in the same battle room, Danny will do his best to help him:)
