TW: suicide attempts but for fun
After a few years of doing the whole vigilante thing, Danny gets bored of his quick and simple transformation act. He gets bored of doing the memes along with it as well — the 'I guess I'll die' was funny at first, but there's really only so many times it works.
The solution? He starts staging his own deaths. Throwing a toaster in the bathtub, comically falling down on a knife, slipping on a banana peal and hitting his head, all that jazz. He has his own list of preferred suicides, ranking from the quickest to slowest and from the least to most painful, and another one that goes from the least inconvenient method to most troublesome one. The first one on the latter is getting shot at. The last is getting suffocated in a swarm of bees so far.
His friends are long used to it — they are all Amity kids, honestly, their idea of humor is really twisted. They laugh their asses off when Danny attempts to strangle himself with one of those sour candy strips. They laugh even harder when he succeeds.
But then Danny moves for college and realizes that most people outside Amity Park don't think performed suicide is funny.
And, well.
Sucks to be them because Danny does not plan on stopping any time soon!
The absolute culmination of it comes one dark November evening, when the Fenton luck strikes again and Danny finds himself being a hostage in Joker's old as time performance: making Batman choose between saving Robin or saving a helpless civilian, both of them hanging over the tanks full of acid.
Only, midway through the madman's pathetic speech, they all get to see said civilian wake up, look around to realize what kind of situation he ended up in, and then excitedly say, "Sick, a jacuzzi!"
And happily, eagerly wiggle his way out of the ropes to fall in, screaming, "Cannonball!"

Everyone can thank @jackdaw-sprite for the Danny throwing a toaster addition XD
Take a picture, it will last longer
Now, I firmly believe that the Drs Fenton would be the most accepting parents in the world.
However. If you really want to up the angst factor…
Let’s say we’re in a reveal goes wrong situation. Let’s also say we ascribe to the trans!danny hc.
Now, hypothetically, Jack and Maddie had been really accepting up till this point. And, hypothetically, they think their kid had been replaced with a ghost.
Would they think a ghost took away their little girl?
I love fics where the Bats are confronted with the fact that they don't really know each other as well as they may have thought. Not in an angsty way, but in the way you kinda know your sibling has hobbies and friends on a technical level but don't realize the fact that he is a different person outside of the family (and in this case vigilante) setting. Some examples:
Steph always gets Damian drawing materials that he's very excited for but has no idea the kid is a weeb until she catches him drawing Cheese Vikings fanart in a manga style. Damian doesn't understand where the surprise is coming from, that's how he's always drawn. Steph shows him her cosplay pictures (she does love a good characterization) and they end up going to comicon together.
Jason at a club with some friends and he sees Tim across the room having the time of his life with his friends. They're both equally shocked at the fact that the other has friends outside of their teams and Jason gets hit with the realization that Tim is just another teenager (kinda like him, he's 20 tops) and they're both underage drinking.
Duke having his mind blown away at the fact that Dick is actually amazing at fighting games. He kicks his ass in Mortal Combat and smash bros and he actually knows how to do combos. Dick is equally taken aback by Duke's perfectly aesthetic and super organized Animal Crossing island and begs him to let him have some of his rare flowers for his own place.
Cass and Bruce making faces each time they're reminded the other is a human being with human needs. It doesn't help that they're awake at really weird hours and have caught the other making the walk of shame into the manor one too many times. The painfully awkward eye contact, the vow to never talk about it.
yo Danny Fenton he was just fourteen
I am aware this is incredibly random. But.
If Danny Phantom and Beetlejuice crossovers ever become popular, I think it should be called the whole being dead thing.
how’s everyone doin tonight i just broke tumblr
hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak
Common misconception: “Damian doesn’t give a shit about people/is heartless/hard to understand.” WRONG!!! *incorrect buzzer noise*
Damian gives too much of a shit, in fact! Every reaction, every action, he has is because he gets emotional! (And then processes those emotions in non-“normal kid” ways.) He’s pretty easy to understand even, but people’s perceptions of him always range in the negative rather than positive so they complicate things + Damian obscuring what little he can behind League-isms and quick jabs/sarcasms. (Still, it doesn’t take people like Tim or Dick long to clock his insecurities/“need to be accepted.”)
The real problem Damian has is 1) bad first impressions 2) his reluctance to appear vulnerable, at a cost 3) good old parental (mommy/daddy) issues + child of divorce vibes
An eldritch horror!Phantom au in which Danny's boyfriend is a monstrosity beyond human comprehension and he makes that everyone's problem lol
I just love the thought of everyone else being horrified when they see Phantom yet Danny is so nonchalant. He just wants to cuddle with his boyfriend why is everyone screaming??
How I imagine the dynamic:
Moss * She/Her * Current hyperfixation is Danny Phantom * if I stop posting either the hyperfixation has taken a walk and I'm waiting for it to come back or I'm dead
