Dannymay25: Day 2 1990's

The show came out in 2004, and Danny was 14, meaning that in the 1990's he must have been a toddler. Als,o I feel like families were doing more stuff together, like going on trips, picnics, visiting the zoo, and such.

(Also Bg and the map is based on Swedens largest animal park Borså Djurpark.)

The first day of Danny May is dragon... so here is my contribution

Ramble of thoughts and a small sketch dump under the cut.

Y'all can't convince me that my boy looks absolutely NO different than he did before that portal accident. Whether his "molecules got rearranged", or is walking around both alive and dead at the same time like Schrodinger's cat, or any of all the different headcanons that exist out there, surely there has to be SOMETHING that's not quite right, right?

That's why I really like to draw Danny's human form's eyes like the above concept art. I like the idea of his eyes passively being the only visual hint that not everything is as it seems. The eyes are the window to the soul, after all. Maybe it's too obvious, idk, I might scrap the concept at some point. But no one on the show has ever noticed the consistently blatant use of his powers in plain sight either, so I guess it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Likewise, just like how Danny's human eyes will glow green when he's angry, I think it would be cool for his ghost form to also have a version of his "scary eyes" that's more dynamic than a simple brighter glow than normal. I feel like the idea of his pupils changing color to a bright yellow makes it much more intimidating than normal (I mainly took inspiration from the old Pet Sematary movie when I first thought of this, which freaked me out as a kid, so maybe it seems more eerie to me than it actually is, idk, I just thought it was a cool concept).

From a quick glance around the tumblr I didn't see anyone else have this sort of headcanon. Of course I didn't look very hard either so I'm sure there's something similar somewhere probably that I missed, but I wanted to throw it out there anyway.

(Also, I've been working on a couple of projects that I hope to be finished with soon, hopefully I'll be able to get done with those and post them within the next week or two. Or three. Or so. Idk, I have a full time job and part time job so it's hard for me to balance things.)

Time to share this freak here.

Yup, this guy's made the rounds a few times on other sites, now he lives here.

“Hes just a kid!!”

That reminds me of a time when I put a rickroll into my thesis draft, forgot about it, got curious when I saw it again and rickrolled myself

forgot that i had a tiny amongus slowly fade into existence in the slides i went over with my high school class today so partway through the lesson i got jumpscared by my own mogus

-[Meow]-

Just floatin’ around. Having fun.

Trying to get back into drawing after all the bullshit that’s been happening.

Person irl asked me a few days ago which fictional race like I'd like to be and I said hobbit. I just want to chill.

hobbits eat six meals a day and are always smoking weed and yet i never hear anybody talk about wanting to be a hobbit. you all sicken me

call him bubonic the way he plagues me

Hii! I'm happy you thought of me <3

I'm a bit nervous about tagging, cuz I don't wanna bother anyone, so no pressure tags from me ^^ @maypersonne @meggiejolly @ket4jet @thearkavist and all my lovely lovely mutuals who I have been too much of a coward to tag but wanna join in <3

 A friend threatened me to repost so I will!

Basically, there r tons of fake asses on tumblr who just want comments and followers, so someone started this to see who's actually a good friend. Everyone I tag better repost (and tag other people and preferably threaten them in a creative way as well) bc I'm high on caffeine and newfound lesbianism and will resort to violence.

@ey-theys-was-coronas

@fangirlhehe

I would tag more people but they're the only ones I've really interacted with-

It's Gonna Be May

Some people have May poles, some people dance into the month of May, Tumblr has Justin Timberlake. (And sometimes just a picture of a block of Ramen noodles, because that's tumblr for you)

Let's celebrate this Tumblr Holiday Comment Exchange style by submitting some fan works that deserve more comments. Today you won't nee to proof that you commented on something else first, but maybe you can find some great things to comment on in our masterlist anyway.

The Witnesses

Watching your mutual best friend die in front of you only for him to still be alive but not be alive has gotta give you some shared trauma that's unique to you

Nebula - cause they can glow green.

Or Wreath after the wreath nebula (or I guess Bernard would work as well in that case - I like wreath better, but Bernard would be a fun non-ghost name for it if could change like danny)

I missed Danny Cowboy, so I brought him back. He's pretty creepy. Why a skeleton horse? Because, why not?

this dumb website is in need of some love, so reblog this if you like the person you reblogged it from!!!

A “minor” lab accident caused Jack and Maddie to be knocked backwards through the portal into the Ghost Zone.

It didn’t take too long for Danny to notice and go in after them in the Specter Speeder, but time in the Zone can be wonky. He has no idea how long it’s been from their perspective, nor how much chaos they could have caused with that time.

So he went in fully expecting to quite possibly emerge in a giant clusterfuck of a battlefield.

Except, it turns out their chaos went in a different direction.

After being forced to interact with ghosts in new contexts, they chilled out about the ghost hunting thing. Instead, they settled into performing more anthropological and ecological studies of the ghosts.

But they’re still them, so they’re the ontological opposite of “subtle” or “low-key”.

They may not be chasing ghosts around guns blazing, but they are chasing them around pestering them with questions. Or stalking them around taking notes on behavior. Or just generally causing unmatched chaos in other ways.

Apparently Maddie ended up leading a revolution in another haunt that was ruled similarly to Aragorn’s, almost becoming a cult leader in the process. Jack broke into Pariah’s Keep and nearly woke up the sealed king to “ask for directions” (or possibly did wake him up; Danny’s heard conflicting rumors. He doesn’t think that that could have happened without anyone noticing, but with his parents he’s never sure).

Danny thinks he heard some Observants mutterings about an “interdimensional incident” too, but he isn’t touching that with a ten foot pole.

Upcoming Tumblr Holiday (It's Gonna be May)

We just had a tumblr holiday, but the next one is fast approaching on April 30th.

Just like for all our tumblr holidays, (you can find a list of all tumblr holidays we celebrate on Comment Exchange here), the rule, that you have to proof that you commented on another fanwork before submitting one, is suspended for as long as it's the date of the tumblr holiday anywhere in the world.

Some Nights Tumblr Version.

Based off this post.

Lyrics:

Some nights, I stay up staring at my laptop

Some nights, I don’t sleep at all

Some nights, I ‘m glad that my dash is never ending

Some nights, I wish I could log off

But I still stay up, I still read your posts

Oh Lord, I’m still not sure why I’m awake at four

What do I scroll for? What do I scroll for?

Most nights, I don’t know anymore…

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

This is it, these are ship wars

What are we fighting for?

Why don’t we read fanfic already?

I was never one to sleep at night - save that for those who have a life

Post twice as much and get half as many likes, but here feels come again

To stay for a while

But that’s alright; I blog from in my bed tonight

I blog because I’m wonderin’ just who I, who I, who I am

Oh, who am I? mmm… I have no life

Well, some nights, I wish that my dash would end

‘Cause I could use some friends for a change

And some nights, I’m scared I’ll hit post limit again

Some nights, I always hit, I always hit…

But I still stay up, I still read your posts

Oh Lord, I’m still not sure why I’m awake at four

What do I scroll for? What do I scroll for?

Most nights, I don’t know… 

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?

Left my social life for this? Or do I have no friends because of this?

(/awkward pause where I didn’t know what to write/)

So log on.

Log on.

Log on,

OH LOG ON!

Well, that is it guys, that is all, scroll twelve pages down and I’m bored again Ten years of this, and only bloggers understand  I’m not sticking ‘round with my folks downstairs; Sorry to leave, mom, I had ship pairs I’m going to be forever alone, all dried up from my laptop brightness My heart is breaking for my OTP and the con that they call “love” ‘Cuz when they look into each other’s eyes… Man, you wouldn’t believe the most amazing things that can come from… Some terrible writers…ahhh…

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh

The other night, you wouldn’t believe the fic I just read about my OTP

I wish it would update already

I wish you’d tag all of your stuff, man.

Why won’t you tag all of your stuff, man? oh…

I’m never logging off

Why would I ever log off Tumblr… oh …

Oh, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh.

I haven’t gone into it much before but I’m honestly so attached to the idea of Danny having a heart condition

It’s asymptomatic under most circumstances because his naturally low heart rate means that his heart isn’t under any real strain

But like?? Vlad died of ectoplasm poisoning, Danny died of electrocution

Vlad got ecto-acne for years and Danny thought he was fine but actually he has a heart condition that would’ve been fatal without treatment under most other circumstances <3

I just like it

i forgot i drew this, he jumpscared me when i opened krita
