The Ring of Rage, oddly semi-sapient in the way that all ghostly objects tend to be, keeps trying to break into the sarcophagus to get onto Pariah Dark's finger.
Normally, fine. Go sit on the finger of someone locked in Foreversleep, not like it'll change much. But if that ring manages to crack open Pariah Darks comfy forever-box, the Pariah Dark wakes up.
Again.
So Danny, as the current Ghostly Heir-Apparent, having earned his place as Pariah Dark's son by right of combat (ew), is tasked with wearing the Ring of Rage in the human world, so as to forcibly keep it away from Pariah Dark.
So Danny wears it, even though it clashes with a lot of his everyday clothes. Because, like, it does tend to look really evil and give off some bad vibes.
Danny isn't a huge fan of it, honestly. It feels mean to say he hates it, but it keeps trying to convince him to get angry over the dumbest shit.
Danny, as the Ghostly Heir-Apparent, is the only person or ghost who can wear it and not fall to temptation. The only person or ghost who's own personal power outweighs that of the Ring of Rage. So that's fun.
It's like a toddler following him around shouting intrusive thoughts, and Danny just has to keep ignoring it.
Honestly, the only good thing he can say about the ring is that it does the equivalent of a magical girl transformation; if he lets it release some of it's power, and uses it, he gets a red and black jumpsuit.
It's...alright. He guesses.
He stick to doing heroing in Phantom form, though. The red and black, on top of not really being his colors, feel like he's trying to step on the Red Huntress' toes.
So he wears it, but it never sees any use.
Until one day, as Danny is being dragged along to a Ghost Hunter Convention in New York City, a Green Lantern is thrown into the building next to him.
It's a Supervillain, and they're duking it out with said Green Lantern and really, really not caring about collateral.
Danny's parents are right there. They aren't about to let him out of their sights. New York City is huge and covered in CCTV, there's no way he can just...run away and disappear long enough to transform into Phantom. Not without some conspiracy theorist getting ahold of the CCTV footage leading up to him vanishing and Phantom showing up.
What are the chances of that like, actually happening?
Danny doesn't really know, but New York City has always been an exception for weird shit, so he feels like the possibility is distinctly higher than average.
He isn't gonna risk it.
Luckily, he can just do an Anime Magical Girl transformation into the Ring of Rage's fashion choice and use said ring to fight instead of his powers.
Damn.
Maybe it is actually useful for something. Huh.
He lets the Ring of Rage's power wash over him, the red and black jumpsuit replacing his clothes, and a red aura encompassing him as his feet leave the ground.
Granted, he isn't using the ring to fly, but his parents don't need to know that.
"Mom, dad, help the people to shelter; just like in the ghost attacks," Danny says, knowing that if anyone is qualified to herd terrified people to safety, it's literally anyone from Amity Park.
Or Gotham.
But fuck Gotham, and it's creepy BDSM furry brigade of vigilantes.
Dad looks up at him, teary eyed.
"Our little boy is a hero!" Mom cries, throwing up her hands triumphantly before grabbing his dad's arm and dragging him away.
"Don't get hurt now, Danno! Otherwise we'll have to step in!" His dad laughs, and Danny feels chills.
That...that would cause more damage than the Supervillain.
He can't let that happen.
Danny flies up and joins the fray, hyperaware of dodging the blasts and punches meant for him, and missing how the Green Lanterns around him hesitate when they notice he's there.
After two hours (he could have done this so much faster as Phantom, this is so tedious) the fight is over, and the villain of the week is in glowing green shackles.
Then the Green Lanterns, haggard and bleeding, turn on him.
"Surrender as compliantly as you've been so far, and we won't have any issues," one of them says, leveling their ring at Danny.
Danny, bewildered, slowly raises his hands in the air.
"What, did I...did I break a treaty with aliens or something? Is that uh...very professional looking and distinguished alien I just punched actually an ambassador?" Danny froze. "Can we please never, ever tell my parents if they are?"
"...Do you not feel, uh. I don't know. A very big compulsion to kill everyone and everything?" another Green Lantern asks, inching a little closer. "Or to laugh evilly, or something?"
"No?"
"Where did you get that ring, kid?"
Danny blinks.
"Oh, you're upset cuz of this thing? Yeah, alright, I'll just...take it off then," Danny shrugs, and as every single Green Lantern shouts at him not to do it, he slips it off of his finger, the red and black jumpsuit disappearing.
The Green Lanterns wince, pulling back like they're...waiting.
But nothing happens.
"Yeah, I'm just babysitting it so it doesn't wake up it's master. It's not mine."
Or; Danny, due to his Ghost powers/strength and being the Ghostly Heir Apparent, can not only resist the Red Lantern Ring he's inherited from Pariah Dark, but can take it off and not die. This causes concern amongst the Lantern Community. Especially when they learn that the Red Lantern Ring in question is semi-sapient.
"When are people going to stop shipping this totally normal ship because I don't see these characters that way?"
"You shouldn't ship those characters who barely interacted because I don't see it working."
"I think we need to move on and stop shipping characters from different fandoms because I think it doesn't make any sense."
Oh my gosh, shut the fuck up! My cookie has nothing to do with your diet. Consume what YOU want and I'll consume what I want and we'll both live happily ever after, the-fucking-end. 😒
megs' designs kicked my ass but hey i finished them continuation from here
+more stuff:
Saw a tiktok talking about AO3 controversial tags in fics you enjoy and some of these comments should NOT be admitting to what they read so freely, some of yall need to be placed on the FBI watchlist.
I meannnnn he could still have grandbabies, ghost biology is VERY different from human biology...if you catch my drift.
THE IDEA OF MANNY ASKING OUT DANNY IN FRONT OF HIS WHOLE FAMILY IS SENDING MEEEEEEE
Please, please, please, do you have any more headcanons for how tigerghost's parents would react to their sons dating? 🙏 🙏 🙏
I'm actually halfway through writing a fic in which Manny mets the Fenton's, so...stay tuned? Lol
The only thought I've given to Danny meeting the Rivera’s is that Rodolfo and Grandpapi's first reaction is slightly negative because they're concerned with how Manny will carry on the Rivera bloodline. Maria will welcome Danny into the family with open arms, just happy that Manny is happy and also overjoyed that Manny has someone out there watching his back that's more responsible than her ex-husband or Frida.
Then, the second Rodolfo finds out that Danny is also a superhero, he changes his tune and starts offering unsolicited hero advice whenever he can (and the fact that Maria likes Danny helps, too). Grandpapi would still be a little hostile towards Danny but eventually warm up to him. After a few years, he'll pull Danny aside and shove bags of stolen money into his hand and say, "I hear surrogacy is expensive," before just walking away.
Jason meeting Damian for the first time but I rewrote and made it a comic lol
(you're reading part 1)
Saw Wicked in the theatre yesterday and let me just say I did not expect to enjoy it that much. I feel a new obsession starting to form in my head and I'm liking it a lot.
Popular for me was my favorite 🩷
Defying Gravity is easily second 💚
The entire Justice League have been on edge lately watching as a giant creature the size of planet dart around the Milky Way galaxy in an almost panicked state. Despite it's very appearent size it hasn't done anything harmful, passing through planets and stars with intangibility.
Constantine on the other hand was freaking the fuck out. There was a giant realms being with a crazy amount of power searching for something and it felt like the universe itself was holding its breath. He was honestly at his witts end when he felt it.
"YOU! What do you have?" He stopped his pacing to look at Batman's traffic light child.
"That's none of your concern." Robin snapped back.
"Robin." Batman's voice cut through their little conversation. By now every JL memeber was watching them.
"It's nothing–"
"Oh yes it is, now let me see it."
As if on que a tiny glowing humanoid creature popped into view ontop of Robin's head cooing and making warbled noises.
Constantine paled.
Robin took the being from his head and held it in his arms, pulling out a batarang and giving it to the thing which then began to bite it.
"Robin." Batman started, voice firm but sounding tired.
"This one found me first." He countered.
"It doesn't matter how you found it, we need to–" Constantine's words were cut off as the large creature released a noise that sounded almost like a whale but something like warbled speech mixed into it. What happened next sent his heartbeat into a marathon and his stomach to a deep trench.
Robin's little creature stopped chewing on its toy and responded with a cry of its own.
Welp! They were fucked now.
The large creature's head snapped to their direction, eyes directly on the watchtower as if it could perfectly see them from such a distance and sped towards their location.
I love it when we turn Danny into animals because of some weird reason or another, has anyone else done deer yet?
_______
"AAAHHHHHHH!"
A scream reverberated through the cave walls below the manor. A battle of the ages taking place for anyone brave enough to witness it.
"LET GO YOU BAMBI WANNABE, THIS IS MY CHILI DOG."
Jason managed to rip the package away from the jaws of the beast, he knew it was mistake to bring down any kind of food into the cave where the creature resided but in that moment he was thinking more with his stomach.
Demon Brat had once again found another animal, a baby deer of all things, and decided to keep it knowing fully well how to pull the strings of both Bruce and Dick into letting him keep it. The thing is Jason always got a weird vibe from it, almost like some part of him was trying to warn him that this was no normal fawn and living with it proved that.
After being brought to the cave it refused to leave, claiming the environment down here as it's own. They've all tried to move it but it always found its way back down here so they just gave up and created a space for it. Another weird thing about it is its cry. It does not sound like a normal fawn but instead had the echoing tone of a human baby but appearently only Jason could hear it, the others all said it sounded like a normal animal but he gets the feeling Damian is fucking with him, it doesn't help that Duke is also suspicious of the 'deer'.
But the last reason that really sold him on it not being a normal deer was the fact that it. Ate. EVERYTHING!
No food was safe with the deer around, if you were to put something down it would 100% without fail find its way into the maw of the ravenous creature. This ranged from simple pieces of candy to an entire rotisserie chicken (bones included), it even managed to drink his entire smoothie that had a lid covering it. Everyone tells him that there's no way it could drink through the straw because its mouth wasn't shaped to do so but he knows it did goddamnit.
Now it was infront of him vocalizing its discontent for Jason not sharing his food with a weird ass whine from its mouth.
"No! This is people food, you are a 'deer', ACT LIKE IT!"
The deer stopped its whining.
Looked Jason dead in the eyes.
And stood up...
"Ah hell naw, DAMIAN! COME GET YOUR DAMN DEER!"
Damsel Not In Distress: The Kidnapped Chronicles
Just a short story I'll be posting here with Danny getting kidnapped constantly but beating the shit out of his kidnappers, and somehow going viral everytime he does it.
_________
To think this all started because he kissed Robin on the cheek as a quick thank you for 'saving' Cujo before rushing off with his green dog. Well, unfortunately for Danny someone caught it on video and it had been trending for a while.
Things had finally settled down when some idiot kidnapped him and some other civilians claiming how he was going to use Danny to lure out the Bats because obviously giving Robin a peck on the cheek meant that they were in a relationship together.
After freeing himself and beating up the criminal this has become an almost weekly occurence. And then it finally happened, one of Gotham's major villians kidnapped him...the Joker.
Glad to say that after freeing himself Danny promptly walked up to the man who was still talking to the camera, not noticing the pissed off teenager behind him, and used the ropes that once had him tied to choke the Joker. Luckily for the Joker the Bats arrived and took care of things before it became a crime scene.
What Danny was not expecting was being crushed on by Robin, who had been showing up after his beatdown of criminals.
Too bad Damian Wayne wants to make Danny his.
