Day 3, Ghost School. The Ghost Zone opened its own official University & Sidney decided to take care of his non-revenge unfinished business(continue his education & follow his dreams of being an entomologist). There’s all kinds of fascinating arthropod life in the Ghost Zone. He’s doing great, don’t worry(he’s just really awkward at getting his photo taken).
On his bag, he’s got a Squishmallow mantis, a Godzilla pin, a Danny Phantom Pin & an Elvis Presley TCB pin.
What do u think? Could u see the Ghost Zone have an education system? I’d love to know💖
While re-watching the show I realized I missed a lot of villains that would have had a field day with the forcing you to dance with them prompt so I made a part 2 <3
Consider this my Halloween gift! Happy Halloween and stay safe!
TW for unwanted touching, forced marriage and misogyny in Aragon's part
Same prompt as the last post. Imagine a DP villain crashing a banquet or fancy ball because Danny was there and their eyes land on you, who also happens to be their nemesis. During the confrontation, a slow song begins to play. Wanting to toy with you they grab your hand and forcefully pull you onto the dance floor so you can slow dance with them. One hand is on your lower back, the other grasping yours as they lead you in the dance with their piercing eyes staring into yours as they tell you their grand plan for the night. As you waltz the lights shine down on you both, giving you and them an ethereal glow. For a moment, just a moment they fall silent as they look down at you. In that moment their eyes are soft as they see you in a new light.
Characters that would do this
Ghost Writer….But horribly. In the last post, @sugarviv helped me open my eyes to the fact that this man would try to be all suave as he danced with you, trying to make himself out like a Great Gatsby or Phantom of the Opera type, but unless he’s utilizing his typewriter to bend reality this man is gonna fail. It's going to go like this.
Ghostwriter smirks smugly as he grabs you by your hand and pulls you into his chest. The stage was set. Was he horribly underdressed for the occasion in just his scarf and coat? Yes, but you were dressed formally and that's all that mattered to him.
"What a pleasant surprise seeing you here. Now, shall we dance my dear?" He asked as he began to waltz throughout the dance floor with you. There was a distinct chill in the air as he gazed down at you, his eyes glowing in the dim lights.
"You must be wondering-" The moment is interrupted as he steps on your foot, eliciting a small grunt from you.
"Shit sorry-" He trips on your feet again.
"Shit-" He trips and this time he falls onto the floor with you in tow. The author groans as his nose crinkles in annoyance.
“Damn it-” As he opens his eyes the realization that your form is on top of his hits him like a truck. Shock floods his system as his eyes grow to the size of dishes. He swallows only to find that his mouth is suddenly dry. If he still had a beating heart he just knew that it would have leapt from his chest by now.
Mission failed…successfully?
Amorpho:
This man is an attention whore and what better way to garner much-needed attention than to be the center of attention at a fancy ball?
It can go two ways with him. If he decides to go on the down low then he’ll transform into a handsome gentleman before he takes you by the hand and starts the dance. He’ll bask in all the attention as the crowd murmurs about the mysterious stranger dancing with you all the while you know exactly what's up. As you glare at him, all he does is offer an innocent smile.
“What? I just want to have a little bit of fun.” He whispers to you as a glint shines in his crimson eyes. Is it…affection?
If he’s feeling like simply scaring the crowd he’ll do it in his ghost form to watch the crowd scatter as he dances with you. The chaos just adds to his delight as he waltzes with you, basking in all the attention. However, at this moment there’s only one person whose attention he craves and it’s yours <3
Prince Aragon: This man is probably the most toxic on the list along with Spectra, especially if you’re female presenting dejdjkdkdf. This dude just radiates dancing with his enemy vibes especially if he starts to see them as a potential bride or groom. Any attempts to pull away are met with a sharp glare and a hiss from his lips as he tightens his hold on your hands. If you’re female presenting or cis female best believe this man is gonna be misogynistic during the dance, critiquing your form, how you dressed to the event, the fact that you just won’t submit and dance willingly like he wants you to, honestly if Danny doesn’t come to deck out his lights you just might. If you’re male presenting or cis male he probably won’t be any better djkdkjd.
Bullet: Unlike Walker (I’m still crying I wanna dance with him so much sob) I can see Bullet taking a moment to toy with you via dancing with you. If there's someone you’re particularly close with be it a crush or friend he very well might overshadow them to dance with you just to get you even more agitated.
Characters that would do this, but a little differently
Dora.
Imagine for her you’ve been kidnapped by her brother to be his queen/king and Dora is assigned to teach you how to dance because Aragon wants to have a big ball to celebrate you becoming his spouse and he can’t have you stepping on his feet the whole night. She’s grasping your hand delicately as she goes through the steps. Every so often the lights shine down on you just right, casting you in this glimmering glow. If she didn’t know any better, she’d say that you were an angel.
She can’t help the faint blush that creeps along her cheeks as she gazes up at you. Despite having helped her brother kidnap you, you’ve been so kind to her. Your gaze is so soft as you look at her like she’s a beautiful treasure to be cherished. Every opportunity you can, you try and convince her that she’s not just a pretty face, that she’s allowed to feel emotions other than happy or neutral, and that she’s allowed to be strong and independent just like her brother. She knows it's most likely just pity after you’ve seen how the prince treats her, but she still cherishes the few moments alone with you she gets. You just…make her feel like she’s more than just her brother’s glorified maid.
She dares to dream that you could be her spouse instead of her brothers. It's a silly dream, she knows. Her brother claimed you first, and whatever he wants he always gets. Besides, it was already made clear that she couldn’t pick her betrothed. Whoever she wed would be hand-picked by her brother as their parents were no longer around the marry her off.
As she waltzes with you in the deserted ballroom, all those troubling thoughts begin to fade away as she offers you a smile full of melancholy and eyes full of adoration.
“You’ll make a wonderful bride/groom…I know it.”
Nocturn. I can see him setting up a scene like this in your dreams. What better place to be alone with you away from possible interference than your mind? He conjures up the whole fancy ball scene, making sure every detail is perfect before he appears before you. He knows who you are and knows you’ll do anything to aid the ghost boy in thwarting his plans. He takes you to the little scene he's set up with one hand on the small of your back. No matter what you do, how much you might try to fight back or run, you just end up right back in this little ballroom scene he's made just for you. The nocturnal ghost smirks as he grabs you by your wrist and pulls you close.
"No one is coming to aid you in this battle that's being waged inside your mind, so you might as well just enjoy the party my dear." He coos as he starts to lead you in a twisted waltz as his nightmarish minions watch from the crowd.
"Why fight it my little star? I can make you have such pleasant dreams. I can show you anything your heart desires." He dips you low as he leans in to whisper into your ear.
"I can be whatever your heart desires here...All you have to do is allow me to do as I please."dp bulle
Desiree. Idk, I just get the vibes that if you have caught her attention she will want to dance with you, but maybe not in front of a crowd and probably not a waltz. I looked into her ethnicity and I believe she is Arab so maybe she’d teach you some Arabian dances to do with her. Sorry I don’t have a small blurb for her like I do Ghost Writer and Amorpho, I don’t know her character well enough djkdjfdjkdf.
Bonus Platonic Friends!
Youngblood:
I can see this little guy thinking that this whole fancy party you’re at is boring. Where’s the clowns?! The bouncy castles?! What do you mean everyone has to dress in such stuffy clothes?! He’s had enough and changes the music to something more fun to dance to before grabbing your hands and dancing to it with you. You’re his favorite playmate after all besides Danny. Since he’s not here, you’ll do as his dancing partner! Besides, you looked all bored in the crowd before he came along.
His movements are fast and erratic as you guys dance, but it's not long before you’re laughing along with him. The energetic ghost is just a ball of energy and it ends up rubbing off on you. Not long after the song ends he drags you to the desert table, eager to devour all the sweets he can before Danny comes to put a stop to his fun.
“Bet ya can’t eat more cupcakes than me!” That was all you heard before he shoveled his first cupcake into his mouth, not even warning you that the challenge had started.
“You’re on little man!” You yell before beginning to devour your portion of the cupcakes. Frosting quickly smeared across your mouth, dripping onto your clothes, but you didn’t care. All that mattered was beating this little brat at his own game.
By the time Danny found you two all the cupcakes were gone and both you and Youngblood were groaning on the floor.
“No…No fair. You…you cheated.” He managed to groan out as he held his upset stomach.
“Don’t…don’t be a sore loser kid.” Was all you choked out before you gagged. You’d won, but at what cost?
Sidney:
This sweetheart would never in a million years think of forcing you to dance with him as a power play. He just wouldn’t have it in him. What does he look like, a bully?
However, seeing the fancy dance you’re at hits him with a pang of bittersweet nostalgia as he reminisces about the school proms he had gone to when he was still alive. The proms he had gone to never really worked out as the bullying tended to get worse whenever he’d show up without a date or his bullies would devise a cruel prank for him. Still, there had been some good memories. Hanging out with the few friends he did have. Chowing down on all the junk the school had to offer at the snack table. Enjoying the music in the corner as he watched the rest of the partygoers dance the night away.
As he reminisces in the corner you happen to spot him. It was a fairly easy task as he stood out with his monochrome coloration amidst the sea of colorful suits and dresses.
He looked so forlorn as he watched the crowd dance and have a grand old time…How could you possibly just leave him alone?
Sidney looked up as he saw you approach him, his eyes widening slightly. He had seen you amongst the crowd, but he didn’t think you’d spare him a moment of your time.
Before he could say anything, you held out your hand as a faster, upbeat song began to play.
“W-Wait, you’re asking me to dance?” He asked shakily as he glanced at the crowd.
“What does it look like Pointdexter?”
“I-I don’t know the steps, w-what would I even do? No, no I shouldn’t-” He let out a startled cry as you grabbed his hand and yanked him out onto the dance floor. You could read the diseased introvert like a book. It was clear he did want to dance, he was just afraid to go out onto the floor by himself. Maybe if he wasn’t alone he’d gain some confidence.
Sidney at first wanted to turn and bolt, but as you started to move on your own, uncaring of the surrounding crowd, your confidence seemed to rub off on him as he began to move as well.
“Well…Maybe one dance won’t hurt…”
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.
“Sidney! Mind if I go in for a bit!?” Danny screamed from outside of his haunt, the monochrome replica of Casper High.
“Phantom?” Sidney peeked outside from one of the windows, witnessing the Specter Speeder with one halfa inside of it. “Oh geez, what are you doing here?”
“Well, I got invited to Johnny’s party and he said I could bring 3 ghosts with me,” he replied while getting out of the vehicle at the same time as the monochromatic ghost left his haunt, “so I wanted to know if you wanted to be one of my plus three.”
“Oh that swells!” A grin overcame Sidney’s face, however he soon deflated as well, “however I must decline.”
“Really? What for?”
“You see, a nice fella by the name Wulf has already invited me to said party, and it’d be of the lowest level of courtesy for me to reject an invitation he has so cordially extended to me already.”
“Wait, you know Wulf?”
“Yeah! The big softball of fur came into my haunt one day wanting to hide from that bully Walker, and we bonded then.”
“Huh, that’s great. I always thought that Wulf could use some extra friends to stand up against Walker.”
“You said so yourself, well, I’ll be going back to my lair to prepare my costume for the party, smell ya later Phantom.”
“See ya Sidney.” And like that the conversation ended, Danny returned to the Specter Speeder meanwhile Pointdexter went into the black and white replica of Casper High, leaving the both of them to think about their next step in their plans. “I guess I could invite Frostbite, I doubt Johnny knows him after all. Oh, Pandora would be a great addition as well, I can already see her doing some kind of warrior for the party.”
With that in mind, Danny steered the Speeder in the direction of the Far Frozen and floored it, going as fast as possible in order to reach that place soon; it was pretty far that lair after all, and even at the maximum speed it would take Danny about 1 hour, and considering that Acropolis of Athens is located between the Far Frozen and the Fenton Portal, it would be for the best for him to visit the Far Frozen first, at least that way he could use needing to deliver the last invitation as an excuse so that Frostbite doesn’t invite him for some tea and talks to him for hours to no end.
The time passed and Danny finally had the frosted island within his sights, the Far Frozen fast approaching, and a smile spread out across his face. A minute later Danny landed, and upon exiting the vehicle Frostbite was already awaiting his arrival.
“Great One! To what do I owe you the pleasure of this visit?” The yeti asked as he spread his arms ready to hug the young halfa in front of him.
“Heya Frostbite,” he saluted as he accepted the inevitable hug that would’ve crushed his ribs to a million pieces if he wasn’t in ghost form nor really resilient, “I actually came with an invitation.”
“Oh really?” the chief of the Far Frozen let him down, now looking directly at him, “What would that be then?”
“Well, Johnny 13, one of my regulars, invited me to a costume party, and he said I could bring 3 ghosts with me as friends to the party, and I thought that you could come as well.”
“Oh that would be an honor Great One, are there any specifications I should know beforehand?”
“Yeah, the party is in one week and the theme is ‘Historical Figures of the Infinite Realms’.”
“Well, I already have an idea for a costume then.”
“Really? Who’re you gonna go as?”
“That, Great One, is going to be a surprise for you.”
“Ah, come on!” exclaimed in a teasing tone Danny, wanting to know yet willing to wait for said surprise.
“Now now, I’ll begin looking for the materials now, if you’d like to know so badly, you can always join me in my search for them.”
“Sorry Frostbite, but I’ll have to say no to that, I still have one more ghost to invite to the party.”
“Understood Great One, may your endeavors be fruitful and your costume as great as you are.”
“Thanks Frosty, hope your costume also ends up looking great as well. I’ll come pick you up when the time for the party comes.”
“Thank you Great One, I’ll see you when a week has passed then.”
“See ya Frostbite.” And with a quick hug, Danny boarded the Specter Speeder once more and lifted it again, now traveling in the direction of the Fenton Portal with another destination in mind, the Acropolis of Athens.
