Skulker and Johnny 13 pissed Danny off when they teamed up to fight him, almost severely hurting his Mom if Phantom hadn't been there to stop it. After souping them and getting back into the portal, Danny was still pissed.
Deciding to listen to Jazz and write away his problems, Danny spent all night working on a 20 chapter story that's essentially a slow burn SFW Skulker x Johnny 13 fanfiction set in a post futuristic-apocalyptic world, and that has a very sad and explody ending.
Feeling much better, Danny forgets about the story entirely.
Like three weeks later, Sam and Tucker are over and Sam finds the story. Danny explains why he wrote it and Sam and Tucker sit down to read it. Their response is basically; "Wait, why is this actually good?" Sam and Tucker end up convincing Danny to change Johnny 13's and Skulker's names and to actually send it to a company. Danny agrees, thinking he'll be rejected and it will just be something he can laugh about when hes 30 or something. After changing the names, Danny finds a small publisher and sends them the work, before once again forgetting about it.
Another week later, and Danny is suddenly swept up in calls with his editor, discussions with his artist over cover commissions, and meetings with his parents and the publisher over the possibility of other books.
just had the WORST (best) idea for Vlad's spy bugs (bugs being literal)
They have pseudo-organic insides alongside the wiring, and ectoplasmic "blood" to help keep it running. The way the internal wiring and hardware is designed is meant to mimic a skeletal torso -- intentionally not an exoskeleton -- so that it's recognizably a skeleton to even the most average person.
That means anyone who destroys them will have the pleasure of seeing those insides as if they really had crushed a living thing. Its entire purpose is to shock and horrify anyone who destroys his bugs; it's a psychological deterrent.
Danny Phantom phandom, I recently learned that human hair can be used for stitches, and if it’s from your own body, your body won’t attack it.
For our beloved vivisection AU’s, we often are using the Fenton Fishing line, as regular stitches thread gets eaten up by Danny’s ectoplasm. But there may be another way…
I have been watching a lot of ARG’s and conspiracy theory on youtube lately and decided to combine the two so here we go.
The ghosts in this au will be like Deadman, you can’t see him unless you have magic, a magic artifact, or highly contaminated by ectoplasm. meaning only danny and his friends Sam and Tucker who were near the portal when it activated can see the ghosts in this au, they are invisible to everyone else in Amity Park.
In the beginning, after his accident Danny believed that he was merely hallucinating the small ghost blobs and ghost animals that initially made it through the portal thinking it was only an after effect from getting an extreme shock, and it isn’t until the first ‘incident’ the mystery meat that attacked the shool cafeteria that he realizes that what he is seeing is real.
So like any self respecting teen he tells his best friends Sam and Tucker. They both reveal that they too have been seeing strange things since the accident although not as clearly as Danny, they could still see them like watching youtube in 240p. They gather after the mystery meat incident, which they have named INCIDENT-1 or IN-1 for short as they later name it, in Danny’s room afterwards to discuss what happened. They find out that other than the three of them no one seemed to see the floating lunch lady or even head her when she talked , they only reacted after the meat started gathering and taking the shape of a monster.
Sam says that they should document what they see and what is happening in amity park and the boys agree with her. Danny become the main cameraman and investigator being the only one strong enough to get close without major injury or harm and also being able to see, hear, and feel the ghosts clearest. Sam is the main documenter and researcher she’s the one that writes down their findings and goes over the videos they have to discover new findings to note down. Tucker is the main hacker and editor he hacker the cameras in the streets and school to get footage and other information that might be needed while also making sure that they can’t be tracked. Despite having their main area of expertise they all pitch in to help each other.
While documenting they start figuring out a few key details about documenting ghosts. 1 being that unless you are using an ecto-camera the less technologically adavanced the devices you use are the better results you get. 2 the stronger the ghost is the more visible they are, the stronger they are the more dangerous they are ( danny in ghost form is by far the most visible on camera, and in real life extremely clear to his friends). and finally 3 as time goes on certain objects/ places around town have started to become strange or gain peculiar features.
Jazz ,still not believing in ghosts because they are not visible ,becomes suspicious of what the Trio are doing, so they lie to her and tell her that they are making a sort of anolog horror based on their town to cope with the stress of the recent events happening.
realizing that ‘hey this actually a really nice way to destress from our problems’ and with that one lie that they told jazz the Trio became fully committed to making a full on ARG , with hidden messages, pictures and code. so with Tucker’s coding and editing skills and knowledge of ciphers and wordplay, Sam’s organizing skills and eye for hints and details, and Danny’s obsession with stars and everything space and his way with emotions, along the very much real ghosts and they were all set to make the best ARG.
They named it THE PHANTOM ARG, finishing up the last details they finally post their first video on youtube titled ‘IN-1 : Mystery Meat’. Later on once they get the hang of it they post about ‘how to deal with the ghosts’ ‘evacuation procedures’ ‘cooking with ectoplasm’ and artwork depicting the ghosts and short presentations explaining their characteristics. They even make a fully functional website thats called ‘welcom to Amity Park’ where there are hidden messages, codes and information.

In Gotham
Bernard Dowd is watching youtube when a video thumbnail catches his eye, it looks like a strange meat monster, he was intrigued. having nothing better to do, he decides to watch it. he looks at what the chanel is about and is instantly hooked, theory’s are exploding from his mind.
he can’t wait to tell Tim about this he would absolutely love this type of mystery solving.
random ideas for this au
The GIW are a big thing in this au, they can’t take down what the trio are posting because Tucker is a hacking god.
Danny is only called to as phantom when he is a ghost never as a human ( because of this no one knows that danny is a halfa)
the trio could go by code names, polaris(danny),pharaoh(tucker),gaia(sam). or any other name you think is sutable.
all codes, ciphers, and hints are based on either science and technology(tucker), plants and animals(sam), or space and ghosts(danny).
the ghost portal accident and opening is unkown to the public and is only referd to as the Accident and people are never told what this accident is only ‘since the accident’ or ‘after the accident’.
there is an extremely hidden video that requires you to solve an impossible amount of hints and clues, that is of the portal opening. it’s called IN-0:The Accident.
(the video shows two people a man and a woman jack and maddie in hazmat suits standing in front a large metal tunnel, two kids jazz and danny siting in front of them, the scientists plug the machine but it fails, they disappointedly leave,*fast foward*, three kids, the trio are standing in front of the portal, they talk, danny puts on a hazmat and walks into the tunnel, it whirls on, the doors shut, the video glitchs as the sound of the machine starting up get louder, the screen turns black but the sound of danny screaming are loud and clear, the screaming goes on for a few minutes before suddenly cutting off, the screan clears up but its still a bit glitchy, the portal is open swirling green with sam and tucker standing in front of it, danny is nowhere to be seen)
danny may or may not be ghost king
This is my attempt at drawing the LUNCH LADY.
DANGER: ⭐️⭐️
( rating may change)
please add, use, change as much as you like. i’d love to see what you come up with and how this idea could expand.
just make sure to tag me or tag it as The Phantom ARG.
I was planning on having Ezra begin the Ghost Queen in this au (bit scared of begin called Mary Sue, but honestly? Fuck it). Its fan-fic-tion!
But I think its interessanting she would deal with this VERY differently than Ghost King!Danny would
Danny would be friendly, attempt diplomacy and be a lot more receptive to questions and demands and try to appear more...human?
Ezra's parents taught her presentation is even more important than reality, people's view of you is important. She would get a third identity to make sure nobody know the 'Ghost Queen' and 'Winter Rogue/Roth' are the same people.
Make a persona probally, portraid it as a powerful eldritch-like Keeper of the Halls of Dead, neutral and with a reputation of begin a little more hostile than she actually is, more distant and supernatural figure that absolute refuses to meet any hero. She likes to 'play the rogue' (aka act sharp, dramatic and playful mean sort of way, not like...rob banks). Ezra would try to appear less human and more of 'untouchable' interdimensional begin.
Not that this would be better than Danny's usual handling of heroes in those crossovers, both were flawed in a way.
I am just trying to make them foils.
While Ezra’s a smart girl, she's a little too defensive and self-destructive sometimes. Raised as a neglected trophy child makes her both smart and not, she knew how to handle authority figures and manipulation better than Danny, but is naturally more hostile and sharp-togued (Danny has a more playful snarky sass).
Both are mature for their ages, mostly because they crazy families.
Sam and Ezra would be best friends after they got to know each other and pass each other defenses. Ezra’s rich parents have fairly different expectation than Sam's, she is not a tomboy, actually loves dresses and ribbons. Her mom's one of those minimalists that hate colors, and paint the whole house in white, bege and pastels. While Sam style is Feminine Pink vs Dark Goth Rebel, Ezra's more of a Wild Red vs Formal Dull.
I try to show it by having her in human form always in braid vs her more untamed hairstyle in ghost form. Her clothes too.
I know 'show don’t tell', but its HARD, but I try to portraid Ezra's personality well, I have chapter 4 and 5 drafts (that I skipped, lol) to tell a little more of her before GIW's Rescue Arc, I wanted a halfa thats more of a middle ground between Vlad (selfish ambitious villain) and Danny (selfless sacrificial hero). I love Ellie, but she is more of a clone seeking to be a real person kind of story, I have plans for her.
Ezra doesn’t HATE Danny, maybe resents him a little, has the habit of pushing any sign of affection way, thinks he is a fool for playing hero for ungrateful people.
She wants to be free with her powers and a persona that have zero expectation from other people (the Winter Rogue is no one daughter), acknowledges her parents are controling and neglectful, but prefer to play dutiful daughter and be rebelish under begind their backs rather than a direct confrontation.
Consider herself more mature than most of her peers without seeing this isn’t actually a good thing.
Is stubborn as both of them, is more clever in a cunning business way like Vlad, is protective and has a sense of moral like Danny.
I am starting to like where this is going, finally seeing her personality in the chapters
There should be being more powerful then ghost king Danny and the infinite realm.
While I enjoy some ideas of Ghost King Danny, I don't like overpowered ghost king Danny and thus I am happy when there are beings that even Danny are not great against like a Eldritch horror that can manipulate souls and be able to eat the infinite realm, a group of people who have magical powers and experience and got every advantage they can to defeat Danny because revenge or something (your average end game RPG/DND party), or something simple like RNGesus ( not even an ancient ghost could evade it) who decides to give Danny bad luck.
Please make a bigger fish that even ghost king Danny couldn't win against and had to come to terms about staying in his lane.
