Why hello, DP fandom, can i take a seat with you? Thanks.
I've watched 2 seasons of the show and I'm ready to pest everyone in this community with my fucked - up brain
Question for all of you for tonight :
It was shown in the 1 season that Lunch Lady can manipulate meat both processed and raw. Also it doesn't seem to matter what kind of meat it is.
So.
Do you think she can just rip the meat off a person using her abilities?
I mean... Humans are meat too so i was wondering if she can de-meat someone alive and just actively decides not to do so or is it beyond her abilities. Wdyt?
an now part 2 of randomw danny phantom charcters , i have a wheel of 50 characters i wanna draw so all the characters are randomly spun XD also shout out to my mom for being a good sport about me asking to use her as a refrences for the lunch lady she just really captures the crabby old lady look
At long last, the stars aligned, the spoons were retrieved and things got done just in time for @phandomholidaytruce of 2025!
@radioratdesigns I was your gifter and a stroke of inspiration struck me dead when I read your Prompts because they just fit perfectly with a plot bunny that had plopped up in my brain a day or so before the receiver assignation:
The Hazmat AU and the Big Sister Ember were exactly the Tropes I had in mind when I thought of a crossover (or is it technically an AU? 🤔) with the movie "The Polar Express".
It was supposed to be a phic, but a bout of writer block and irl issues had me stumped (I swear I tried... ಥ╭╮ಥ), but since I noticed that sometimes making art comes to me more easily, I managed to get this done at lightning speed!
ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
Here a bit of plot and details under the cut (plus a bonus):
Danny had his accident way earlier –at 9– and so (to compel to his childish fanboyness) his suit is even more astronaut-themed to give him a (what should have been) foolproof full Hazmat suit;
due to the complicate attachment of the helmet, tho, kid Danny never had the time/chance to take it off to ask the rogues to stop attacking the town (and the glass visor is too thick and stuck (thanks Jack) for anyone to understand him);
my usual headcanon (which I use to justify why Danny's power level is so high from the beginning) is that since the energy of a whole dimension flooded inside him, he could be "on par" to the reading of an Ancient to the more experienced ghosts (thus leading them to the misunderstanding that Danny IS a small-sized Ancient that's hoarding Amity Park and its permanent Portal);
the misunderstanding could have been cleared in an instant if the Rogues had seen Danny's face, because he's scarred from the accident and you can't fake the freshness of a Death Scar to date how long a person has died (but, alas, the helmet takes too long and humans are in danger);
I'm shaking things up with the Truce to make it more star-aligned than religion-related, and so the Solstices (both) are established as one day without fighting AND one of the Ancients (following a rotation) can organize an event to which few elected can participate through invitation (it's a great honor);
this year is conveniently ((. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)) Clockwork's turn, so they invite most of the Rogues (mainly the ones who can be redeemed), some just as spectators and other as participants:
The Lunch Lady and Ember are part of the show-and-snack Hot Chocolate song;
Desiree is just a passenger, but her meeting with Danny is very much a stab to the Core;
Sidney Poindexter is also a guest, but he's also accompanying his kid cousin Robert on the Polar Express for the pre-teen's journey;
Skulker and Technus pair up in the broken toys wagon to try and invent a new weapon;
Johnny Kitty and Shadow decide to try and race the locomotive to see who's the fastest;
And last but not least the "villains" of the story, the Box Ghost, who wants to steal all the presents in Santa's sack since they're in boxes, while Walker had been pursuing the troublemaker trio on their motorcycle, but seeing so many "magical violations" he decides to imprison everyone.
Now back to Danny:
The accident happened 6 months or so before THE Christmas when the crossover takes place;
He's 9, so while he may be wary thanks to some "stranger-danger" conditioning, due to some previous positive interactions with Youngblood (kid-to-kid communication -> he already knew Danny was a kid and told no one) he's also brutally honest if a ghost asks him something, even if he's in human form;
(this leads to several Identity Reveals, Moral Crises and Epiphanies during the ride on the Polar Express for the Rogues);
Danny joined the ride to the North Pole (along with Sam and Tucker because they were at the Foley's for a sleepover) because he's this close (🤏) to give up on Christmas already and when the Conductor tells him that he could see Santa, he jumps at the opportunity to get proof that he exist and so his parents would stop arguing and ruining the holiday;
...upon learning this and that Danny is Baby™, they decide that just "not fighting" the kid isn't enough, they have to adopt him!
But where's Clockwork in all of this, you may ask?
They're watching from the sidelines, masquerading as the rooftop hobo with cryptid messages and suggestions, while the Rogues and Team Phantom scramble to stop Walker's and the Box Ghost's separate attempts from destroying Christmas.
Obviously they succeed, but... neither Santa nor Desiree (who had been asked) are powerful enough/able of such a feat (making Jack and Maddie stop arguing and/or hunting ghosts), so... there's the next best thing!!
✨Baby Acquisition!✨
On Christmas Day, when the Mansons and the Fentons come to retrieve their offsprings, Sam and Tucker can only offer two sealed envelopes (but no Danny).
One from Santa's (who offers the proof that he's real and not exactly a ghost, but also points out all the ways they killed their children's Wonder for the holiday so it's no surprise that Danny came to him to seek help) and the other from Clockwork.
The Ancient's letter reveals that since they're unfit to be Danny's parents in this timeline independently of any manipulation/choice/explanation/plea, once they'll get out Tucker's house, they'll forget about Danny and any trace of him would be erased from the town.
This is just a polite/formal communication.
The duo stalls, trying to find a loophole or a way out of this, but all comes unfortunately to an end when the parent that was having Jazz for her own sleepover calls them for an emergency due to a ghost, so they have to go.
There's almost no hesitation as they run out of the door, they just falter when this sensation of overwhelming loss hits them, but they charge on to get to Jazz and the ghost.
(Because Danny had always been their last choice.)
From then on, Jack and Maddie go on their life as aggressive ghost hunters with this constant sensation of something off/missing, always out of reach, but with sometimes slivers of glimpses immediately forgotten afterward.
(Jazz, Sam and Tucker still remember Danny and get to talk and meet with him sometimes in secret, but they are forbidden to speak about him to anyone beside among themselves.)
As their "crimes" against ghosts pile up despite Team Phantom still trying to convince them to stop during the years, they age until their time comes and due to the ecto-contamination they become ghosts.
It's only at this point that they meet Danny again, now grown up and with a life of his own and they immediately get it.
That's what- who they were missing.
But it's too late, they have done too much and kept NOT choosing him (CW had put in the fine prints that they could have remembered everything and get Danny back if only they had sincerely –and without external input, like an identity reveal– rejected their biased researches).
So they get a(n after)life sentence for crimes against the Infinity Realms and this is the last time they'll see Danny.
Danny is... disappointed, but not surprised. He grew up with the ghosts and became a well-adjusted adult, so he had realized way back that the Fentons had been a danger to him.
So he just tells his parents to spend the rest of eternity regretting their life-choices and flies away from their prison.
Sometimes... the only good choice for yourself is to cut away what hurts you and choose your Family, your Persons, on your own.

Uh. I ended writing a piece of this anyway. (・–・;)ゞ
I guess sleep-deprivation after not going to sleep after new year's party is useful for something! (≧∇≦)
Anyway, here, as a thanks for enduring my rambling (and your patience for waiting for the almost late gift), you get an alt. version of the art piece without the Polar Express in the foreground!
(Was this angsty enough? >:3c)
(A thanks to @phantommoon-art @halfalix for their support and enabling through Discord.
Sooner or later I'll be able to write this phic, I promise you!
( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ)
Happy New Year and hope 2026 will bring good things to ya!
Okay so my first exposure to Danny Phantom was through written works, so I didn't know what a lot of the characters actually looked like until later on when I finally decided to google certain characters. And I got to say... the box ghost was probably the most disappointing of those reveals. I had been picturing a ghost that was inhabiting a box (like a hermit crab). I was not picturing a small man in overalls. So here's my box ghost redesign.
To go with this, here's what I was picturing for some of the other ghosts, I had more physical descriptions to go off of for some of these. I drew: two variations for Nocturne (I actually still don't know what he looks like bc I refused to google it after seeing Undergrowth's canon design), Lunch Lady, Walker, and Undergrowth (I refuse to acknowledge the canon design)
Day 9 fried food, Lunch Lady got right into the Hanukkah spirit and went to make some delicious holiday treats! She’s got tons more stuff cooking up in her ovens, stoves and def her deep fryers!🍽️
Do u have any headcanons or ideas for Sidney Pointdexter?
@dnpanimationstudioclone of course! I love my broski, Sidney Poindexter. So strap in;
Given the length of my previous response I’ll try to keep the ideas and headcanons short for easier reader digest. So bullet points time!
Sidney was huge into sci-fi and fantasy media back in his past life. Comics, movies, books, cartoons and shows you name it he loves it especially foreign works like J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series to the first Godzilla movie at the time in 1954. Others book wise from Tunnel in the Sky by Heinlein, Judgement by C.L Moore, Triplanetary to the works of Orson Wells to classic monster movies the 50s spurred before the 60s. And a lover for cartoons of the Looney toons variety and newspaper funny pages of Dick Tracy and Charlie Brown.
Sidney was a nerd because of his interests but he was smart nerd due to both of his parents being teachers. His mom was an English teacher and his father was a math/pre-calc teacher. Seriously, Poindexter’s dinner time would involve having to figure out three new sentences with a vocabulary word you’d learn in high school and breakfast was doing two or three long division polynomials on the page before the newspaper’s comics/funnies section which his father would make him finish first in order to read it. All of this repetition learning placed Sidney a year or two ahead than most in his class as a result.
Sidney’s parents cared for him a lot but we’re quite strict to a point in his education and use of his free time. It’s understandable in some way as I hc Sidney’s grandparents or parents were Jewish immigrants and Sid being first generation with more opportunities than those before him. His parents loved him and were trying to help him prepare for the road ahead, but they seemed to neglected their efforts and positions had as teachers in the Casper/Amity School systems. I think another factor to Sidney’s bullying is that a lot of high schoolers or middle schoolers took out their aggression on his dad’s tough math/pre-calc classes on him. That whole having to bully Poindexter as a graduation requirement thing started bc his dad was the last class you had to take to graduate as a senior.
I love the idea Sidney and Lunch Lady knew each other back when he was still alive in middle school and a young Laurie (LL’s real name in my hcs) started working as Casper’s lunch lady. Sidney being such a frail and small pre-teen, Lunch Lady couldn’t help but give him and extra helping of food (especially when others would either take his money or food). Even before the bullying got worse, Lunch Lady would let Sidney help in the mess hall to avoid being mistreated. She’d lie and say Sidney had to work first before he could earn his meal if any other staff member asked why he was there. It helped a lot, Sidney considered her to be his only friend at the time when he was alive.
If Sidney didn’t die so young or survived his suicide attempt, his parents would said enough is enough and change schools immediately after that happened. Sidney would restart his third year in junior high and avoid further bullying or gossip about his incident. It was welcomed but he was upset still over having to restart 11th grade again when he was almost done. But more importantly not being able to say a proper goodbye to Laurie/Lunch Lady when it happened. He sent her an emotional thank you card though which she kept in her important belongings until she died of a heart attack in the 1980s or 1990s.
I felt that Sidney was a late bloomer given the lack of eating meals at school, general genetics to general depression, Sidney would of been very tall in his third year in high school. I think he would of been a basketball guy but honestly I definitely think he would of been the best mascot ever in the school he was transferred to like legendary dude. Also, he’d make a risk to join a his new school’s newspaper which led to him meeting new people and socializing with new people who he’d make friends with. But most importantly it allowed him to pursue his interests by drawing cartoon/comics in the school’s papers that led him to his profession as a famous Cartoonist in his adult life.
Ok, enough new life Sidney back to ghost Sidney. Sidney found out about his ability to connect to his old Locker 724 when he got pushed in it again in his lair replica of the Casper High and saw through the mirror another kid like him met the same fate and was crying just like he did alive. It sent him off in a rage that made him press his hands to the mirror phase through and possess the kid in his enraged state to wreck havoc on the bully responsible for it. That bully literally got sent to the ER once they got their hands on them and the school knew this was a ghost possession situation when it happened, the pre-exposed GIW got involved and the locker was decommissioned until the 2000s with new staff and a bigger student body came to reclaim as much available space possible for students to use locker wise. Rumors be damned is how that went, poor Danny.
Sidney didn’t knew about Lunch Lady’s death until after the first episode when she got sent to the ghost zone. He thought she past away peacefully even if it was a heart attack or something else that had her died suddenly. Before Walker got to her/arrested her, Laurie was roaming the zone and had fast whiplash as soon as she found the old Casper high in black and white. Even more so when she entered and her appearance changed back to her look in the 50s again and the moment Sidney saw her again he broke down crying and hugged her as his loss those memories of spending time/being friends with here at the school after so many decades with being treated like crap until Danny changed everything to be treated as an equal.
Sidney is a strong advocate for Danny ever since the debut episode for him. Danny is probably the only person Poindexter actively stood up for against the other ghosts as shown in Reign Storm with Skulker and such. He isn’t fond of traveling the zone alone, at least in the school he knows what to expect with the torment he receives or used to receive. It’s familiar, he’s used to it, out in the deep green it’s unpredictable and unknown which is something Sidney fears even more.
Speaking of Reign Storm, LOOK AT THEM!!!!
WHY DOESNT GET TALKED ABOUT MORE?! Sidney and Dora being best buddies during and after the events of Reign Storm. Sidney’s love for fantasy and old British/medieval literature too (thank his mom on that one), it’s likely Sidney can hold a good conversation and maybe understand his middle ages dialect. Even more so that both of them were bullied and tormented by their peers most of their lives that they have more in common than they thought. And yes, if Sidney would visit her and see how his outfit changes to a knight or jester outfit he would go nuts about it bc that’s his dream there and boy he is living it. Ok overall, they’re best friends I’m not accepting anything else at this time.
Danny and Sidney chat in the locker mirror on a biweekly basis. He’s Danny’s man inside as a thank you for changing his memories of Casper high so he can be the person he could of been in high school with Danny. He helps out by being part of writing the school’s newspaper club and they get other newspapers of the ghost areas as a result. Sidney can only share the newspaper through the mirror which still works out for Danny with taking a picture on his phone for reference later. Plus Sidney is a good enough storyteller that he doesn’t have to read the whole thing if he asked Sidney to share the highlights. Also, during the week or Friday before winter break Danny, Tucker and Sam make sure to wish him a happy holiday and Hanukkah. Same story for each other Jewish holiday since Sam is very adamant about letting Sid know they’re thinking about him during those times.
Danny and Sidney really hit it off after Splitting images once they talk Sci-fi, space and everything under the sun. Sidney flexes that he was able to hear Sputnik 1 late one night when it first launched in 1957. Danny is jealous about it but he gets the benefit of sharing all the new space stuff that has happened since the late 1950s. Sidney is happy to hear every word and finally have someone to share and relate his favorite things to for the first time in decades.
Ok that’s all in the hc/idea tank, @dnpanimationstudioclone thanks again for the awesome asks btw! Sorry this was longer than normal I just love my bro Sidney Poindexter.
