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!

Happy "Danny somehow wound up in Fortnite in the year of our lord 2025" to the Phandom May many cursed moments bless us in the near future

I was trying to think of all the possible "Danny"s there are and these were my findings

It's @invisobang season baby!

Very excited to finally share my pieces for this year. I got to collaborate with the incredibly talented @ladylynse and @mysteryhat21art!

Check out Bait and Switch on Ao3 and FFNet! And keep an eye out for the second piece I did (which I will be posting when the chapter it's in is released!)

Part 1 | Part 2

Also be sure to give Mystery's piece for the collab a look while you're at it!

Danny with diluted Siren blood(it skips a generation in non purebloods so nobody knows of Danny's Siren Blood, Danny only finds out after becoming a ghost), he sings as an instinctual need, his song can not hypnotize or ensnare due to his diluted blood but it has other effects, in humans his song calms their minds(soothes anxiety and over thinking and allows them to feel calm), for ghosts, his song can help restless spirits and shades(not ghosts/revenants, liminals ect) pass on to the afterlife as it temporarily calms their restlessness down and helps them find peace, as an Adult Danny travels to very death heavy areas and sings to help spirits and shades move on.

Note:

-Danny doesn't have a siren/mermaid form, his blood is too diluted for that, BUT his Ghost Form has some Siren-Esc elements, like webbed and clawed hands, sharp teeth, and his ghost tail looks like a Siren's tail but he can still have legs in ghost form, this is part of why nobody connected Danny to Phantom.

-singing is an instinctual need, even before he realised he was part Siren, Danny needed to sing, mostly he sang as he worked or did chores around the house. Everyone just chalked up their calm feelings when Danny sang as being because he had a beautiful voice.

Magma art may be a mite messy for me at the moment, but it’s not gonna stop me from adding to the drawpile- Yippee! Decapitation!
