Guardian Deity Spirit Danny
"In the spiritual realm, there are specific steps a being can take to ascend to the status of a god, with certain restrictions defining what a god truly is. Typically, a deity emerges as a result of being worshipped by a group of people, their worship infusing them with divine energy and granting them godhood.
They can be born from an unconscious belief or concept, such as the worship of the moon or nature. Over time, this belief gains sentience and power through the devotion of their followers.
They possess spiritual powers and establish a cult, amassing considerable influence and strength.
They are born from another god.
They achieve godhood by defeating and absorbing the essence of a pre-existing god, embodying their concept.
This means that even if a being is incredibly powerful, like Clockwork, they must be worshipped by someone to attain godhood. So...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In the Infinite Realms, time operates differently than in the outside world. I believe that since the Realms exist beyond space and existence, serving as the cosmic glue holding the multiverse together, they remain separate from the flow of time.
So, my idea is this: Danny is already immensely powerful, as he embodies the balance between life and death. Because of his connection to Clockwork, this being occasionally sends him on time-traveling missions, perhaps for preparations related to kingship. As a result, he appears in various places throughout history, safeguarding people and cultures. Over the centuries and millennia, people begin to worship him, seeking blessings and offering sacrifices.
Usually, this would lead the Justice League to believe that he's simply a very old being. However, what if he truly is ancient?
As I mentioned earlier, a god's powers are derived from belief, and this belief gradually transforms the deity. Here's my take:
Batman might insist, "I know you're Danny Fenton," until a summons or a crisis causes Danny's godly side to surface. This aspect of him is truly ancient, as time doesn't flow conventionally in the Infinite Realms. Consequently, Danny could be three years old in terms of his death, yet also an ancient entity. Nonetheless, he remains physically too young to fully comprehend his true power and existence, resulting in considerable confusion.
Ultimately, there are two interpretations:
The Justice League ends up believing that Danny is either a) a vessel for a god, b) a sort of priest, or c) the physical incarnation of a bored god curious about experiencing humanity.
Ghosts do not treat him like a typical ghost child because, due to the nonlinear nature of time in the Zone, his core possesses the essence of an ancient being. The ghosts perceive him as the rebirth of balance, incarnated as a human to restore equilibrium.
Feel free to use this concept for any story or interpretation you find compelling."

can we know more about the gods of this world? like how are they worshipped, how big is their scope/control over domains, how their relationships are with mortals/the world n other stuff maybe? idk they seem interesting and i like the primordial moon’s design ! :3
ah also since pep came from a different dimension, does that dimension have gods too or nah?
this is gonna be a long one!
there are 12* gods you need to worry about, those being the two queens, the four primordials, and the six civil gods
*there are also a bunch of elementals and lesser deities that are out of the scope of this ask
the two queens, kazos (time) and veima (space), are the girlbosses in charge of the universe (theyre also gay married and in love <3), with jurisdiction over the underworld and the heavens respectfully. these two looove their bureaucracy, and keep a very tight operation running. they also created whats called "god law" which is basically a list of rules that everything in the universe (including both mortals and gods) has to follow just to keep things from exploding.
the queens created the four primordials, monofe (earth), amikwo (ocean), soremone (moon), and chavrix (sun), which make up the physical components of the mortal world**. monofe and amikwo are also gay married and in love, and notably created all living things. kazos and veima are considered to also be primordials, as they embody the dimensions of the universe, but are categorized above the others for obvious reasons
**there are also 6 additional elemental dieties which were created from the overlap between the four primordials domains. for instance, zokorachi, elemental electricity, was created from the collision of the sun and the moon during the first solar eclipse, giving existence to thunder and lightning
the primordials have by far the most control over their domains, the same way a mortal has control of their body. monofe doesnt rule the earth, she is the earth. this makes them pretty scary if you get on their bad side, but luckily, since theyre so huge, they hardly ever notice what mortals are doing anyway. exceptions being soremone and chavrix, the only primordials to semi-frequently disguise themselves as mortals to check out whats going on down there. theyve been known to have affairs with mortals, often resulting in demigods, like soji. theyre horny and curious, and it gets boring up in the sky
the rest of the pantheon is composed of the 6 civil gods: gidera (harvest), okomat (hunt), raushom (love), tekachir (war), draofan (labor) and evorash (thought). they oversee their domain rather than embody it like the primordials, and the way they do this depends on their personality, on a sliding scale from overbearing mother to absent father. for instance, gidera is a petty bitch and will send rabbits or pests to destroy your crops if you slight her, so farmers are terrified of her and make sure to keep her happy by worshipping her often, while okomat kind of just sits back and lets hunters do their thing, sometimes covertly giving good or bad luck if they catch his attention (fun fact: the cycle of the seasons is a legal agreement that had to be negotiated during gidera and okomats messy divorce trial).
all gods are worshipped via prayer and sacrifice, and while a mortal will usually only worship gods that are pertinent to their everyday lives and politely ignore the rest, the two queens are the only gods that are universally worshipped, as they hold universe-moms status. most households will include a shrine for veima (sacrificing space) and will have a daily ritual prayer for kazos (sacrificing time).
relations between gods and mortals is mostly facilitated by mortals known as liaisons, who get sigils from the god they represent that give them social authority and also magic powers! liaisons for civil gods are the most common, primordials much less so, and there is only one liaison for each queen at a time.
as for peps dimension, her world doesnt have any gods, so the concept is pretty foreign to her!

i really wish there was a more comprehensive timeline for lolth and definition of her current powers/titles in current age
because like. looking through the wiki its like "she lost the portfolio of chaos to this dude"
and said dude is now even debated to still have the portfolio or if he's assimilated into Talos or his own diety so im like
wait does lolth have that or is it in this one nebulous dude now who we aren't even sure if he's his own diety or just an extension of something else and im aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The one thing though I find super interesting about Lolth is that everywhere she's mentioned before her fall into being a demon queen
Is that she was only considered a consort to the other elvin god. While he is always regarded as her husband. Which makes me believe from how we know about words and stuff. Was lolth before just a concubine that had to be faithful to her husband but never had an equal title to him as shes never (to my knowledge?) addressed as his wife. So like. Her "wanting more" and to take over could easily have been because she was seen as lesser than him since she never was allowed an equal title to him and presumably he isn't even obligated to stay faithful to her like our modern understanding of things .- . so like
lolth was a woman scorned. was upset she had to be faithful to her husband who never allowed her an equal title, craved for something more, went way too far and became corrupted in her pursuit.} Though as she was exiled cuz you can't solve inequality in women or men by killing someone, cool motive still murder, she had no fucking clue what she was doing or very little. Like with many things she used her raw power to take over the 66th level of the abyss, made drow, started society which reflected her scorned view of the world. Ensured no male elf would be above female as she had experienced effectively creating just as toxic of a matriarchy as her ex husband had with a (presumed) patriarchy and continues to try and reclaim what she had and what she believed her rightful place was (having influence in the mortal world ect)
theres so much you could do with this huh????
