Okay so yall know about that one scene from Steven Universe where Steven got his gem pulled out and like collapsed and was basically dying because he couldn’t survive on his own?
I was thinking about it last night and some other Danny Phantom posts i saw and was hit with a wonderful idea.
We already have at least two items in DP that can separate Danny and Phantom from each other. They didn't really show consequences like I am thinking of though.
If Danny and Phantom got separated, personally, I think Danny would be struggling to even breath. He’d have nerve damage and a whole other slew of issues that probably wouldn’t allow him to last long.
I have always HC’d that its his ghost half keeping him alive.
And paired with this idea well-
Think of Phantom, glowing a toxic, vivid and unnatural green. Lacking everything that made him human, everything that allowed the town to even be comfortable in his presence because he is sufficatingly powerful. Staring with a dead, pun not intended, expression at the Fentons or GIW or who ever did it to him.
Think of Phantom throwing a fit because why would it matter who he was? That Danny they want back, the fully human Danny. The weak, sickly and never happy Danny died when he was created.
You know, kinda like this.
And everyones just standing there, stunned and fearful.
While Danny’s just trying to get to his other half. Stumbling and struggling while in a mind numbing about of pain.
They can try to stop it but Phantoms to fast and as soon as their hands touch a massive shockwave gets sent out. Electronics going haywire, lightbulbs shattering and lightning crackling.
And when the blining flash dims theres Danny.
But he doesnt look like Phantom nor does he look like Fenton. But rather a perfect mix of the two. A defense his core came up with because it never wants to be separated again.
