Tim Drake was only 10 years old when he made what was probably the worst mistake of his life. Who knew just one word could change everything.

‘Stop.’

He never would have written it if he had any idea of what would come of it. But he wrote it, and to be fair to Tim, he was under a lot of pressure. Between school never challenging him, his lack of friends his age, and most recently his promotion to Robin. 

Being a vigilante was dangerous work. Hell the main reason he was one was because another had died. Of course he didn’t want to hurt a potential partner by being forcefully ripped away from them by the cold hands of death, rather deciding to reject his soulmate. 10 year old Tim Drake thought it would be so much less painful. He knew cutting off a soulmate could be painful on both sides, but every account he found also said that rejection was better than the death of a soulmate

It was one account by an unhappy couple. They weren’t even really soulmates. They weren’t exposed until a week after the deed was done.

At 10 years old Danny Fenton decided that the universe must hate him. How else could he explain the pain? The pain stemmed from one little word between the constellations carefully and painstakingly drawn on his arm. It was the worst thing he had ever experienced, only rivaled by his own death; but even then the hole he felt when he woke up that night trumped his death.

It was so sudden too. Danny was asleep when it had happened and the only person who would have comforted him was away! Jazz was sleeping over at a friend's house that night! He went to his parents that night but they didn’t do anything. Just hugged him, and told him to go back to bed and that they would talk in the morning. They forgot. Brushed him off and went down to the lab to tinker with that stupid portal!

Jazz came home that afternoon to a sobbing little brother and held him. She tried to argue with their parents that this was a massive deal, but they brushed her off too. Said that Maddie was fine when she broke her bond with their uncle Vlad in college. 

She was fine. Vlad wasn’t. There's a reason he's like that.

Later when Danny was 14 the portal that sucked away his parents attention was completed and it didn’t even work. I practically ruined his and his sister’s childhoods and it had the audacity to not even work!

It did work. He made it work. He turned it on.

Danny had spent a lot of time down in the lab before the accident, back when he still wanted his parents approval their love. He listened to their ramblings, about how ghosts are not sentient, about how they are pure evil, about how they are only driven by instinct and impulse. They were so wrong about most things, but they did nail a few. 

Like how ghosts are prone to impulsive, and sometimes even intrusive thoughts. But it's not because they are so unintelligent that they don't have any higher understanding other than base needs, it's because they are beings of emotion. The same goes for Halfas like Vlad and Danny. 

Leaving his original haunt was not a part of Danny’s plan. He never thought it would happen. After all it’s his haunt. But when everything came crashing down he knew it was time. 

Jazz had died. She was caught in the crossfire of a fight between some ghost and the GIW. he didn’t remember, he was too lost in his grief to fully recall what happened but all he remembered was screaming. And that the other ghost didn’t make it out. He made sure of it.

Tucker and Sam had moved on. Both to larger cities than Amity Park. Tucker even found his soulmate there, some fancy IT guy. But eventually they lost contact with him.

He was starting to get unstable. They could see it but they had no idea how to help. He was starting to act like Vlad. To Amity Parkers they could see that Phantom was getting more and more irritated, that he wasn’t as kind as he used to be. The press always loved to rag on him and tell the public how dangerous he is.

So he left. He didn’t take anything, just turned off the portal and created his own and flew. He was unwanted.

But he knew he couldn’t fly forever, he needed a haunt. He had his lair in the Zone, but he needed a living world counterpart. Then he found it. The ideal universe for him. The world he found was situated relatively close to his keep so he had easy access to it and it felt right. Like Clockwork dragged it over there himself.

But in his special little universe he decides to make his Haunt. Nothing fancy, just his little space, in what has to be his favorite city he’s found. Gotham. The dark city was full of ambient ectoplasm, the gothic look reminded him of Sam, and Wayne Industries reminded him of Tucker. And it was full of empty buildings no one would think twice about. So he created his own little nest. But something was wrong. He was missing something. 

His obsession. He was missing his obsession. Jazz was the only thing he could reliably feed his obsession with, and with her gone it was only a matter of time before he started to fade. His gaze drifted to his arm, ‘Stop’ still engraved in black pen. His soulmate.

Danny rises from his curled form and fades out of visibility, core quietly humming as it searches for the ghostly claim of his soulmate. Danny refused to be alone again.

And nothing short of shattering his core would stop him from having his soulmate, rejection or not.

Danny Fenton may have walked out of his parents ghost portal with half his life but he still experienced a death. And death changes people. Oh part of it was the circumstances, the ghost attacks, the secret keeping. But having your life violently ripped away and then forced back into a physical body would of course have an effect. One the people in his life noticed immediately.

While was generally very lighthearted, always smiling and cracking bad jokes, his eyes were often shadowed. As if he wasn’t completely feeling the mirthful attitude he portrayed, like he was still trying to fulfill a role he’d grown out of. He almost became more reckless, more energetic in those early days to hold onto the lingering whispers of the old Danny Fenton. But by the time Junior year rolled around, he’d given up the ruse. Danny Fenton was no longer skittering or jokey. He walked with his shoulders back, his gaze sharp and his smiles were smaller. No less warm or genuine, but more restrained than most teenagers usually were.

His emotions were more variable too, more potent too. He was quick to anger, his good cheer turning bitterly cold in an instant with the most vile insults on his tongue. The moment would pass and he’d be all frowns and apologies. But he never used to fly off the handle like that before his accident. His joys too seemed almost uncontainable, and his grief would shake the world. All his emotions seemed so much larger, like it knew they weren’t supposed to be confined to such a small body. 

Friends and family and other people would look at Danny, be it working at school or laughing in the park with his friends or cleaning the dishes after dinner and just feel that something had changed. That something in Danny had been lost, when no one was looking, leaving this boy in his place. He was a good child, kind, honorable, distracted at times and carrying an exhaustion that had little to do with sleep. Soon, it wouldn’t be long before this Danny was just Danny. But sometimes they’ll pause in what they’re doing and remember how he used to be, before the portal. Danny Fenton may have temporarily dodged death but that doesn’t mean he escaped completely. 

#dont mind me I'm in a mood tonight #danny phantom #I think this cams out darker than intended #its not *totally* a bad thing Danny's changes #but he DID change #the danny we know throughout the series and beyond is NOT the same boy who walked into the portal #its not just the events that followed #its just you dont go through something like that and come out unscathed #I can see Danny growing in a kindly but quiet kind of eerily mature young man #oh he has his moments of dumbassry he never grows out of #is more prone to smiles than frowns #but he has a long that can stop a grown man cold #and carries himself in a way that says he's seen and done things you cant even comprehend #and to the people not in the know #they have to wonder what the heck happened #and to the people that do #they must ask themselves who danny would have been had he not walked into the portal to his death #Im obsessed with Danny experiencing a death #he's alive yes but he DID die #he couldnt have a 'ghost' without a death #and just the impacts that has on him #i know i know me and the rest of the phandom #right #Im going to run now bc obviously I need to work some issues out

I love halfa danny being normal danny's TUE because halfa danny isn't evil, like everyone is flipping out but the only thing the halfa has done is get mildly insulted at how they're treating him. ( and his reaction very creepy so, like, fair, but still)

Everyone is like "Beware! you could become this!" and Human Danny is freaking out and Halfa Danny is trying to figure out how to calm him down.

So I saw this yesterday, had a good snicker cause it's hilarious, told myself, "I'll reply to that tomorrow," and then woke up this morning and read these, uh, downright poetic tags by @redrobin-detective on this post.

#*insert shaking eyes emoji here*#I'm just so obsessed with this idea I cant stop thinking about it#of Danny changing so slowly and gradually as he becomes a bit more ghostly in both body and mind#its not something he or people are aware of bc a) amitys fucking weird and b) its grdaual#he didnt get fangs overnight but teeth just got sharper bit by bit#danny himself is a bit surprised at how quickly he forgot normal human things but it just becomes his new normal#just the idea of either pre accident or even better new accident danny meeting his future#and its not big scary danny#its a danny who IS him but theres a dangerous coiled strength in his stance#his teeth are sharp his eyes have a slight glow#there's something *unnatural* about this slightly older danny and yet he's s t i l l Danny#but it greatly upsets just got his powers Danny bc he realizes this is where he's headed#not dissection or anything so dramatic#but having his whole being transformed until he's almost unrecognizable#danny fenton really did die in the accident the person danny would have been drew his last breath in the portal#and this other danny wearing his face walked out with deaths hold on his heart#im rambling now bye

I'm gonna take this half a step further by incorporating your ask into it. Normal-Danny is freaking out, having this existential crisis, all while Ghostly-Danny is just unperturbed by any of this. So Normal is experiencing the same thing Ghostly does when, say, several-millennia-old Clockwork chats about how timelines could fall apart and tear the fabric of reality. Ghostly is something other than just human now and he says "It's fine" and doesn't seem to see a problem with it. Normal feels like Ghostly is pulling a Cosmic Horror on him.
