HUNTER Au. But with valerie as phantom n danny as a hunter!!!
Ok what if vlad's plan at the reunion still failed because of jack. Danny not being phantom is none thw wiser to vlad being a ghost.
Events continue but definitely not the same. The portal was not completed by the time reunion happen. So vlad co buys out Valerie's dad's workplace. With fentons working there.
Valerie ends up becoming a half ghost do to a mishap. A sabotage that was actually planned by vlad but he didnt plan for one of his employees daughters to visit. (Explaining this poorly i is)
Valerie being half ghost is pissed at the fentons for what they done. And makes it known while trying to get a grip of her powers n ghost problem around town.
Fentons end up dying and vlad has perfect outlet to blame murders on. The new little heroine.
Only one who didnt die was danny.. and under his godfather he has a way to fight ghosts...
Vlad's completely amused and pushes the boy to get rid of that girl who destroyed his gamily.. unbeknownst the ghost who did was right there.
School life valerie feels bad for danny n apologizes to him. Danny n Valerie get along like they did in show.
But its flipped. With danny hating her alter ego, n valerie unable to blame him for it. But soon learns vlad is the mastermind.. which fuels her rage more because danny is being played like a pawn.
Idk if i explain it well but idea free for anyone uwu. Basically valerie is the ghost hero n Danny's the hunter.
Ooo imagine her colors still being mainly red.. maybe red hair instead of inverted to white.
Danny being green hunter. Well probably a cooler name but color scheme green still.
Also can see danny being terrified of ghosts but after his family is taken, he thinks his parents are right n has to stop the ghosts.
Vlad not having bonded with danny over being half ghost n this girl is more of a nuance than worth keeping, he's just amused. Though still cares for the boy but more as a momento or trophy of maddie. Maybe still trying to clone her n the basement hidden part of the lab.
Oooooo danny unknowingly building majority of or fixing majority of Vlad's machines. His blueprints being used for more dastardly things.
So when the reveal happens its very climatic!
Valerie is captured and about to be taken out. Vlad is revealed and danny just stands n horror realizing what he done... what vlad has done... who valerie is...
And like always, vlad under estimates the ppl around him. And danny is done being a pawn. Him n valerie team up. Only to talk as sun rises up.
Danny sitting on hoverboard as she floats next to him.
"So what are you going to do now? Sniper?"
"..I.. i don't know. Vlad's my guardian but... i don't know. They won't keep me from him. There is nothing i can do to prove he's.. and that he killed..."
"Don't worry hover boy, we'll find out a way. He won't get away with this."
"We? After I tried to-You should hate me!"
"Tch. You were just trying to avenge your family. I would have done the same for less."
"Still doesn't change the fact that-"
"Danny. Only person I hate right now is Vlad. He put us up to this! You. Me. Your parents. He's to blame.. besides. I know how sweet you are in person. You would never hate someone without good reason. " putting a hand on his shoulder.
Danny sat there quietly as he glanced over at Valerie. He smiled weakly, "You're glowing."
"Pfft. What else is new, Fenton?"
"Also just realize red is definitely your color. "
"Glad to hear because its not like i can change it. Unlike you. Green is not ur color."
"Hey! Why not?"
"You always look more blue to me."
"Great at pointing out my trauma n depression ms. Wraith."
"Not what i meant," she rolled her eyes with a grin and shoved him lightly with her shoulder. "No blue like water and the sky. "
"Sky is refraction of water vapor-"
"Danny!"
"Okay okay ill stop."
....
"We should get someone to house you."
"Like who?"
"Well there is a certain fanboy-"
"No! No way!!! You cant be-oh man you are..."

Ya like Gray Ghost?
Valerie and Danny is my favourite ship in the show (not to say that Sam and Danny isn't valid too) and I know that many other DP fans like them as well. But because this is the Phandom and their relationship is already tragic by nature, there is a severe lack of fluff for these two. So I'm writing my own!
You can find it on Ao3 here:

phantom and the stars
my gift for @fries-n-knives for the phantom truce !! you mentioned liking grayghost so i wrote a little pre-reveal fic of them being pals :] initially i had a hurt/comfort planned but i could not get this idea out of my head
ive never written valerie before this fic i hope i did her justice
AO3 Link: Here!!
Word Count: 824
Summary: Valerie encounters a Danny Phantom on a rooftop one night who seems more into the stars than she realized.
It was unusual to see Phantom quiet and alone. Oftentimes, he was trailed behind by Sam and Tucker or even that dang dog of his, wreaking havoc in his path. He was eerily quiet when she approached the spot he laid on the rooftop.
"Danny Phantom," the Red Huntress sneered, "what schemes are you involved in this time?" She kept one hand ready on her ectoblaster in case said ghost tried something. 
At first he didn't even move to respond, laying motionless like a corpse on the ground. The closer she got to Phantom, the closer she got to a realization.
He was sleeping. 
"You're kidding me. You are actually kidding me." Amity Park’s most well known ghost, taking a nap in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. She stared down at the white haired ghost who seemed far too comfortable here. Honestly, she thought to herself, how easy would it be for her to just ambush him? Usually she'd see him nearer to Fenton Works or the school, but he's a bit further away from all that this time.
She lowered her guard ever so slightly, hand no longer gripping the blaster. She didn't realize he needed sleep. Or that he even could sleep. 
Valerie sat down on the roof, letting herself relax a bit. It was better here than going back home to work on homework at the very least. And she could keep an eye on that Phantom Menace, making sure he doesn’t get up to something bad.
She glanced down at her phone, briefly scrolling through social media, ending up just staring at her background of her and Danny on one of their dates. Time to time, she'd glance down at Phantom, watching the very slow rise and fall of his chest. Did he need to breathe? Or was it just part of his human mimicry? Either way it was drastically slower than hers.
The longer she stared at him, the more he reminded Valerie of her Danny. Both had subtle freckles, although Phantom's were glowing green and vaguely star shaped. Their hairstyles were practically identical even with the color difference. The amount of Fenton tech the ghost owned was also a little strange. There was also the subtle green scar running up his neck, almost like Danny's lichtenberg scar. She always did want to ask Danny about that, but it never seemed like the right time to mention it.
Her thoughts were pulled to a halt when Phantom's seemed to twitch in his sleep before sitting up and stretching. He rubbed his eyes, glancing around before settling on Valerie who had subconsciously reached for her blaster again.
"What are you doing here?" Phantom asked warily, subtly pushing himself back away from Valerie. His voice had its usual ghostly echo, reminding her that this is in fact not Danny Fenton.
"I could ask you the same," she glared.
Phantom sighed, stretching again, keeping an eye on Valerie while she did the same. "I fell asleep, I guess. I wanted to stargaze." The ghost stared up at the sky, a sad look on his face. "It's kinda sad."
"What is?" Valerie felt her skin crawl, slowly letting her hand relax to her side again. It was unusual having a conversation with Phantom. He's more conversational than she initially thought. Guess there’s more than just subpar oneliners.
"The light pollution. I have to go so far away from Amity to see even the brightest of constellations. And even then you don't get the full view," his voice grew quieter and the natural ghostly echo seemed to lessen ever so slightly. "Have you ever truly seen the stars?"
Valerie was taken aback by the question. Was he like this normally? When they weren’t fighting?
Was he really as bad as she thought? This gave some new insight on the ghost.
She shook her head. "I guess I haven't."
Phantom sighed softly. "I figured. They're beautiful. Maybe we could see them together." Valerie watched as a pale green blush spread across his face. "No- wait, that's silly," he laughed rubbing the back of his neck and looking away, "we're enemies."
"You blush green?" How has she never noticed that before?
"Ectoplasm instead of blood will do that."
"I see." It feels like she's seeing Phantom in a new light. A strangely more human side of him. "I'd like to see them at some point if a ghost like you says they're beautiful."
"Next week?"
Her eyes widened. "Huh?"
"Next week we see the stars?"
She could feel her face heat up behind the cover of the helmet. "Yeah. Yeah okay."
Phantom pushed himself up, stretching his arms high above his head. "Great chat then! Can't wait!" He gave her a cheeky wink before quickly vanishing from her sight.
Valerie stood there in shock for a moment, her face feeling like it was on fire.
What had she gotten herself into?

Prompts you say? 👀 How about some GrayGhost? 🥺👉👈
Reveal fic to get my brain back in the fanfic game. Let's go
Danny and Valerie have graduated and are dating. Identity reveal!
"So, how long have you known?"
"A while. You're not the most subtle person, and we both know it."
"What gave it away?"
"You keep gear in your backpack. You run off when ghosts show up. You're always looking for exits." A swallow. "There's more but we'd be here all day if I rambled it all off."
"And? What of it?! Ghosts attack every single day- who wouldn't have an ecto gun in their backpack at this poi- nevermind. Fine. You caught me," a sigh, "what are you going to do about it then? Rat me out? Make it so I never have a day of peace in my life ever again? Blackmail me??"
"No! Why would I- Ancients you need better friends if that's where you'd think I'd go with this... What would it accomplish if everyone else knew?"
"Dunno, I can't tell what you're thinking half the time, and we've been dating for two years," a glare, "You're also keeping secrets... but I know better than to pry into it, unlike someone else."
Ouch
"That's part of why I'm talking to you about it! I wanted to air it out between us- you know, like a healthy relationship? How many lies have we told each other because of our secrets? How many times have we bullshitted where we were going or who we were with? Neither of us have clean hands in this, Val."
Valerie finally looks Danny in the eye, her Huntress gear gently folded on the bed with a note placed gently on top-
'I know, talk to you after work. ❤️ Danny'
They'd been together for two years. Moved into the same apartment after graduation to get away from their parents and strike out on their own. Neither wanted to continue their education, not when the books are too expensive and they both had obligations to Amity Park they couldn't leave behind.
"Fenton, what on earth could you possibly tell me that's even remotely similar to my Huntress persona? You aren't cheating on me, right?" Her raises a single brow in question. He wouldn't dare, but if that's the case she knows how to hide a body.
"What?! No!!!" Danny starts laughing hysterically. "I could barely even get a date after knowing you for years! Who in their right mind would want this level of space case unless they already know me?"
"Alright you have a point-"
"Hey! You're my girlfriend you're supposed to be supportive!"
"Not when you've admitted to lying to my face, Fenton! So spill! If it's not cheating, but still involves lying through your damn teeth all the time, then what the hell is it? What is it that you are doing that could possibly even be on a similar level to me being Red Huntress?" She snaps, frustrated tears leaking from her eyes. She was tired and didn't want to dance around the point with him anymore.
"Alright, fine," he sighs nervously. "But you have to promise me you won't freak out or try to beat me to death with your bare hands first."
She's about to roll her eyes in response with a retort but sees how serious he's being.
"Alright. I won't kill you, but not promises on not freaking out." Valerie crosses her arms and sits on the bed to stare at her boyfriend.
"Alright cool." Danny rolls his shoulders in a stretch. "Ancients, I've literally never told anyone this on purpose, it's always been against my will that people see it."
Danny begins to pace through their shared bedroom with a somewhat panicked expression.
"Okay so then don't tell me- show me." Valerie responds. "If the words are too hard, actions speak louder."
Danny stares at her for a moment before swallowing nervously. He gives her a nod and then-
"I'm goin' ghost!"
A flash.
Everything just changes.
She opens her eyes wide in shock, her body tense.
"Uhhhh surprise??" Phantom says with the same awkward smile Danny has when he gives her a gift.
"I can explain..."
And oh how lucky Danny was to have hidden all the ecto weaponry beforehand.
Not because Valerie hated Phantom, but because her boyfriend was such an idiot to keep a secret this important from her for so long.

Grayghost for the ask game!
it's been one hundred years, but i have not forgotten to answer the 983478349 of these i have left in my inbox.
-
Valerie was so ready to finally, officially, fully kill Danny.
Don't get her wrong, she really loved her boyfriend a lot. After all the secrets were out, they really bonded and were now dating for almost 4 years.
Since their anniversary was coming up, they both decided to celebrate it by going on a roadtrip across a few neighboring states. They've been saving money for this the whole year!!!
When summer break hit (they were in college now (rip)) they wasted no time, packing Valerie's new (old) car to the roof and going off into the unknown. (unknown = usa)
Valerie insisted that she was gonna be the one to drive the whole time. She didn't really trust Danny and his certified Fenton Driving SkillsTM to not wreck her car.
Danny argued for a while, since he didn't want her to drive so much. It was cute how worried he was that she was gonna be too tired or whatever, but she made it very clear to him that she doesn't mind. He was banned from the driver's seat, no matter what.
Unfortunetly, that led to a little issue that Valerie did not think well enough through.
"WE GOT A NUMBER ONE VICTORY ROYALE, YEAH FORTNITE WE BOUT TO GET DOWN (GET DOWN), TEN KILLS ON THE BOARD RIGHT NOW, JUST WIPED OUT TOMATO TOWN."
Danny was in charge of the AUX cord.
And Danny was abusing his AUX cord rights.
Hard.
"Danny, can you PLEASE turn on some NORMAL MUSIC?" Valerie asked for what felt like the 1000th time.
"What do you mean? Chug Jug With You is such a banger." Danny asnwered with the biggest shit eating grin on his face.
"I can survive stuff like All Star and the rickroll, but the shit you've been pulling up is too much." She let go of the steering wheel with one hand just to quickly gesture in the direction of Danny's phone connected to the car. "What even IS THIS?"
"A banger."
"Danny, I beg you."
"Well. You know the rules. One person drives, the other chooses the music." he said, shrugging.
"I can hardly call your playlist music."
He ignored her comment and continued, "You could always... Let me drive. The you can choose the music."
That Little Shit.
She knew he did this on purpose. She realized when he pulled out an already pre-made playlist. This was his plan all along. Maybe she wasn't so far off when she was insiting he was evil those few years ago. He sure as hell could be evil when he wanted to be.
Well, she was definitly not gonna give in. She couldn't let him win this.
"No. You're banned from driving." she said, holding the wheel just a bit tighter when a new song started playing. It sounded like a badly recorded version of Take On Me. She prayed it was only that, but her dreams were crushed when some little kid with the shittiest mic known to humankind started talking over the song.
"Well, that's fine! We get to listen to the legend himself, Mcap Steve!" Danny exclaimed and started singing with the kid about... mining? diamonds?
And calling it singing was generous, all of it was just screaming.
Of all the minecraft songs, he had to choose the one that was giving her an incredible headache.
.
She eventually gave up and let Danny drive after he pulled out this Mcap Steve's entire discography...
Possibly dying in a traffic accident was way better than another minute of that minecraft parody hell.
_____________
@hannahmanderr and I actually made Danny's roadtrip playlist, so you can listen to it and see what torture this boy put his girlfriend through yourself!
[THE PLAYLIST]
Also: Danny's right, those are bangers.

Secret trio but they’re looking kinda fancy~☆ I pictured them to all be like, 16-17ish when drawing them in this, them all just chilling, being friends and doing what friends do :)
Design details are under the cut if you wanna know my thoughts
The reason why I made it so they’re all wearing scarfs is because I hc that Randy one day was like “hmm I wanna wear my ninja suit’s scarf to school because it looks cool” and so he cut off part of his infinitely-repairing-and-getting-longer scarf to wear. He also gave one to Howard so that no one would suspect a thing and they could both say that the ninja gave it to them when they asked. Soon enough almost everyone in Norrisvile has a scarf from the ninja lamo. Randy gives a scarf to Danny and Jake after being friends for a while. He also just wears an extra scarf that he changes how he wears it every day or so. I think the red lining on his jacket makes his design pop a bit more, like an anime mc.
I’d like to think that Jake somewhat cares about fashion, it’s his dragon heritage getting to him and look at all the guys on the dragon council they’re fancy. It’s totally not self indulgent. But yeah, a dash of fashion for all of my blorbos. Also his season two design makes him look a lot older then his season one design(I mean they changed the whole style of the show) so I thought that by going with the s2 hair he would look older. I think it worked but whatever. He basically has the same clothing as his original clothes, but it looks more stylish in a sense. Gold lining because dragons love gold and idk how Jake feels about gold because my memory of the show is either blurry or nonexistent but gold is good.
I like the idea of Danny getting more white hair as he ages(thank you izbubbles for the inspiration), that’s neat, or that he just wills himself to have some white hair, so I gave him a lightning-esk Mallen streak in his hair like in that one ep where he tried to get rid of his powers. Also I gave him a silver triangle earring because Val has a gold triangle earring and I need to subtlety insert grayghost into all of my dp things. Also ecto-boba

uhh
1,13 and 14
1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get
SentiOp/Optinel: Putting someone down for ending up in a position you put them in, disrespecting their friends and personal boundaries, making snide comments at their expense, & ragging on them for their flaws while refusing to work on yours isn't love. Optimus deserves better than that. Besides Sentinel would just try to find a way to control Optimus/treat him like a trophy; & he's clearly jealous of him which is also not a good competent for a stable romance.
Ace x Lexi: besides being an obvious "male lead x female lead" pair they're also pretty interchangeable in terms of personality so there's little room for interesting dynamic. It's just a repackaged version of Bugs x Lola with none of the chemistry
Shadowpeach: as much as I love their rivalry there's just too much baggage for romance & honestly Macaque could use an original love interest/partner to help him sort out his issues
Amethyst Ocean: just because the show tells you to ship them doesn't mean you have to listen. #GrayGhost forever!!
13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character
I rather prefer to leave Sentinel's arc open ended to show how he's forever trapped in the middle, uncertain (vs Optimus ultimately choosing good/Autobots & Blackarachnia ultimately choosing hate/Decepticons). Not redeemed obviously but not evil either. Also he works better as a spiritual metaphor than a political one
Elise is nearly not as awful as the fandom treats her & she doesn't need to be Blaze 2.0 in order to be improved
Lapis was the victim and i hate how the show tried to paint her and jasper's relationship as mutually abusive
Prince Ben was one of the best characters in descendants and i feel like the movies downgraded him because they didn't want to risk him upstaging their precious little grape soda gremlin
King Artie (shrek) wasn't all that bad in fact I love his more subdued personality makes him stand out from the more quirky eccentric characters
14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom:
The way ppl in the ninjago fandom depicts harumi as a bland seductress obsessed with knives & hurting Lloyd yet ignores her CPTSD & redeemable qualities gets on my nerves
The SU fandom is no less toxic than others also stop blaming them for a certain incident when it had NOTHING to do with fandom drama
The ben 10 fandom has a misogyny problem
the shrek fandom needs to do a better job with fanfics I'm sick of seeing crack shit

Thank you @dykesynthezoid
This seemed fun so I'll try it out 😭
3 ships:
1. Lawrusso- I'm a basic bitch. Leave me alone😭. Come on fam it's rivals mixed in with 35 year history mixed in with in with the problem with toxic masculinity mixed in with breaking the cycle of abuse mixed in with different ways of coping and realizing they aren't healthy (ex: Johnny drinking and Daniel totally thinking that pretending everything is fine or going from 2-10 VERY fast)- Just smacking Lawrusso on the head like " this bad boy can fit so much shit-damn go to therapy together."
2. Samtory- Wanna rewatch the series again and focus on them more really adore them/love their dynamic. Like it's funny walking into the show and seeing Robby and Miguel interacting and going on this is supposed to be our Johnny and Daniel? And then you see Tory and Sam interacting and you're like not only is this supposed to be our Daniel and Johnny but also- hello?👀
3. I have list, but to mix it up with different fandom- Grayghost- Danny, and Val really was that end-game feeling. I remember jokingly saying they had to keep Val out of season 3 as much as possible because if Danny even made eye contact for more than 1 minute, that would be it. It's funny cause they seem like the most natural relationship out of the whole show, yet the one they want people to like last minute is the one they had a whole episode on why they shouldn't be together/not ready for that.
1st ever ship:
Damn- I don't know to judge this one. Cause it can range from anywhere to I thought they should be together when I first saw something or searched content for it. Going with Alice and Kyo from Alice the 19th aka the manga set I found at goodwill at 12-
Tumblr media
I am 1000% sure 12-year-old me should have not been reading this with all the dark shit happening
Last song:
Little too cringe to put here lmao
Currently reading:
Well listening to- Paper Backs From Hell by Grady Hendrix talks about the history of Horror from paper backs in the 1970s-1980s and dealing with topics of art on the covers grabbing your attention as well as the wild stories within them.
Little book summary
Take a tour through the horror paperback novels of two iconic decades . . . if you dare. Page through dozens and dozens of amazing book covers featuring well-dressed skeletons, evil dolls, and knife-wielding killer crabs! Read shocking plot summaries that invoke devil worship, satanic children, and haunted real estate! Horror author and vintage paperback book collector Grady Hendrix offers killer commentary and witty insight on these trashy thrillers that tried so hard to be the next Exorcist or Rosemary’s Baby. Complete with story summaries and artist and author profiles, this unforgettable volume dishes on familiar authors like V. C. Andrews and R. L. Stine, plus many more who’ve faded into obscurity.
Last movie:
I was supposed to watch Friday the 13th yesterday
I could be wrong cause my friend and I saw a bunch of movies that weekend but "Lost cat corona," which now has one of my favorite movie quotes said/top 10, aka "HAVE YOU SEEN MY FUCKING CAT?"
Currently consuming:
Crustables and gummies fruit snacks- Because I have the diet of a 4th grader on summer vacation
Currently watching:
Art videos- I like listening to things while drawing, and artists rambling about stories or their own art experiences are one of them.
Currently craving:
Go Go Curry 😭
I'm always so happy when I get to do these things/when people tag me! But feel like I'm annoying when tagging people- Just know you don't have to do this! 😭

How would you rewrite danny Phantom
Sorry if this ends up being a little disjointed. 
One of the big things I’d do is remove the concept of Status Quo is God. With very few exceptions (ie Jazz finding out, Vlad moving to Amity Park) nothing changes in the world of Danny Phantom. For all Danny ‘learns a lesson’ as he himself lampshaded, his behavior doesn’t change. Other peoples behavior doesn’t change. If something major does happen, it ends up being time reset. Overarching story and letting the character truly grow, and have that growth be seen from then on out.
Consequences for the bullies. This is a bit of a hot button topic for me as I was bullied throughout school. But we see the bullies be cruel towards others with literally no form of recompense. The system actually sides with them and if Danny uses his powers to get back at them it’s immediately framed as a bad thing. So just...suck it up? The only good thing to do is to let yourself and those around you be physically and mentally harmed? I hatehatehate that.
Also I wouldn’t go Danny/Sam route. And not just because I felt grayghost has much more chemistry. “He’s not my boyfriend, he’s my best friend.” was such a powerful line to me. That you could have a male and female protagonist and NOT have them be in a romantic relationship. That friendship was just as strong, if not a stronger bond. So when the crushes and jealous started popping up around season 2 it just felt....cheapened. I want and Danny and Sam who are ride or die friends without romance being a factor.
That said, I’d also like all of the trio to be more considerate of each other. They all have times when they’re jerks to each other and I’d like to see less of that.
Tucker gets a girlfriend.  Enough of the Socially awkward geek tries to be smooth and bombs. Let him find someone who appreciates him for him. And I guess since this is my rewrite, I’m going to say she’s a werewolf. They bond over their love of meat. Werewolf girl is afraid he’s going to think she’s monster and tries to hide it. Maybe Danny and Sam wanting to be happy for him, but worried that she’s obviously hiding something. So it comes out, she’s surprised when the reaction is ‘Oh Okay’ and Danny wanting to know if she speaks Esperanto, and she’s just “I’m glad you’re all strangely accepting, but why was Esperanto your first thought????”
I’d like to see the conclusion of Valerie’s Arc. She was so close in realizing the existence of half ghosts and that Vlad was evil the whole time. I’d like to see her rethinking her hatred and realizing how blinding it was. Also maybe realizing her new suit responding to her thoughts isn’t normal and that she herself is no longer a normal human and her new friends helping her deal with that.
I’m sure there’s more, but that’s what I’ve thought of.

So I currently writing a graghost domestic fluff fanfiction and I realized something
That when I read grayghost there is just something way more satisfying to seeing them being cute together in a way that dannyxsam could never
Don't get me wrong I don't have the ship and I understand why amethyst ocean is more popular but it just feels all to easy?
I thought about it and I think that the reason I feel that way is because Sam and Danny WHERE to easy, they were best friends and Sam was always there and all that and who wouldn't want to date their nest friend?
But danmy and valerie on the other hand, they went from enemies to lovers and I feel like that feels way more rewarding in a sense, seeing them have those cute moments together after all those times fighting feels so nice, they finally reached a point of peace with each other
They both kept a huge secret from their families and friends that kept eating them away, both struggled with being an outcast and Danny never really got a moment to understand his conflicted feelings of being half dead because he is supposed to be the "hero" and who better to understand that then valerie? She also has conflicted feelings about Danny and they can work it out together! And she also knows how it feels to feel pressured to keep the people she cares about safe
While Sam, despite her stance for equality and to help those in needs, she does have a privileged life and will never truly understand the struggle
Again I'm not saying that grayghost is better then amethyst ocean or vise versa, they both have their pros and cons
But this is my personal take on it and why I prefer valerie x danny over sam x danny

hey @phantombreadproject this one’s for you
happy holidays, have some grayghost heartbreak!
Valerie had to be close.  From her vantage point above the park, she could see everything: trees with muted and blinking lights on under the snow; the playground, and the string of half-buried fenceposts surrounding it; the lot by the street, which had been plowed earlier.  Only so many places a ghost could hide, she thought dryly, and yet.
At least the twin engines of her hoverboard were throwing off a little heat.  Winters in Amity Park were a bitch, and she'd heard it was supposed to go subzero overnight, if it hadn't done already.  The cold, she groused, was probably the thing throwing off the precision on her gear.  She hadn't gotten an exact reading on that damnable phantom all night.
She could hear it, though.  She'd been following it for the past half-hour - a skirmish here, crashing there - and she descended between a cluster of snowed-down trees so that she'd be out of sight and hopefully get a decent shot as soon as she saw the thing.  It'd be coming off the river, probably; she'd been following it long enough to gain a sense of its territorial patterns, and most nights it would come through this area.
Sure enough, the echoing crack of ghostfire was right on the banks.  Up came a smaller, fleeing ghost - and up came that phantom in hot pursuit.
Valerie let the board idle and held steady over the snow.  She watched the two spirits go back-and-forth for a moment, clashing and dancing around each other in the air.  Where Phantom appeared mostly in shadow, the smaller one was a fizzling specter of light, and she waited for them to draw each other closer.  Once the smaller one was taken down, and had done all the damage it could, then she'd make her shot.
The doomed spirit shrieked and disappeared, and Valerie fired.  Her aim was good; she struck the phantom behind the shoulder, and it pitched forward and dropped like a stone.  She coaxed the board up and over the trees again, keeping an eye on where it had fallen.  The tip of her blaster was still smoking, leaving a thin trail behind as she went, and she spotted the disrupted snow between a handful of pines where the wretched ghost had landed.  She brought the board down, still wary; she didn't trust one shot like that to take the phantom down, she kept the blaster aimed at the sprawling form in the snow.  The form looked up to the hum of the twin engines,
and Valerie's heart skipped a beat.
"Danny?"
It was him, alright - white as a sheet and wide-eyed, and staring up the wrong end of her blaster.
"Val?"  His voice was quiet, but as soon as the silence was broken it was as if he snapped out of a spell.  "Val, hold on, wait a second, don’t - "
"Danny, are you okay, oh shit that ghost didn't hurt you did it?"  She threw the blaster aside and dropped from the board, kicking up chips of flattened snow from underfoot as she ran over to him.  He looked unhurt, if still a little disoriented; that phantom must be hiding closeby, or have blown past him, she thought, but it occurred to her that he'd known to call her by name just then, despite that she'd still had her visor up.
And then it occurred to her how off that felt.
"Danny," she said carefully, not entirely sure what to expect but putting her guard up anyway.  "How did you know it was me just then?"
"What?" said Danny, propping himself up on his elbows in the snow.  He shook a dusting of it off his hair, frowning.  "Of course it was - oh.  Wait."  He glanced down at himself, as if he'd forgotten something, and let all the breath out at once in a heavy cloudy puff.  "Shit."
"You knew it was me," said Valerie, "You knew I was - "
"Hold on a sec - "
"How did you find out?"
"I can explain, sort of - "
"How long have you known."  She imagined him all of a sudden, sneaking into her room when she was grabbing him a soda from the kitchen or surfing through Netflix titles or any other thing.  She saw him rifling through her things and getting ahold of her blaster or the helmet of her suit or a spare lying-around part of the board she'd get around to fixing.  That must have been how he found out - she couldn’t imagine any other way he would.  And that really stung.
"Val.  I swear it's not - "
"How long."
Danny hesitated.  "The whole time," he said lamely, pushing himself up to sit cross-legged and avoiding her eyes.  "Since you got the outfit."
"What?"
Danny said nothing.
"Who told you about it?  How do you just - find out about something like that?  Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well, I - " Danny cut himself off.  He was doing some quick thinking; she knew that look, the twitching hesitation at the corners of his mouth and how his eyes darted about.  After a second he gave it up.  "Yeah.  Maybe I should have told you."
"Maybe?" Valerie snapped, "That's all I get, is a maybe?"
"Okay, yeah.  I should have told you."  He paused as the trees around them creaked in the wind; despite the cold, he sat in the snow as if it didn't bother him.  "Should have told you lots of things.”
Can't we talk about this later, she almost said, but stopped herself.  It wouldn't be any use; the ghost was gone, although that thought made her groan a little on the inside, and she wouldn't be doing either of them any favors by cutting and running after it.  It wasn’t as if she was going to let Danny off the hook, either - the more she thought about it, the more she knew that the conversation was overdue as it was.
Danny slowly got up to his feet, creaking in the cold like the snow-burdened trees, and didn't bother to brush himself off.  "Val, look.  I'm sorry, okay?  I should have said something, or maybe given you a hand or - "
"Yeah right," said Valerie, "You had to peek through your fingers at Dead Alive last week.  You'd be a shit ghosthunter."
"I'm serious, will you listen to me a second?"  He stepped forward and put a hand on her shoulder.  It was freezing - wasn't it supposed to go subzero tonight? - and that made her pause.  He didn't act like the cold was bothering him but it should have been.  It must have been; all he had was the hoody, and he'd been pale as death the whole time.
"I want to make it up to you.  I swear.  Maybe I fucked up, kinda bad, but I promise I care about you," he was saying, but all of a sudden it could wait.  This was wrong, and the creeping-up unease in her gut refused to be ignored.
"Danny, you should get home," she said abruptly, "I don't even know why you came out here - but look at you, you're freezing - "
Danny dismissed it with a shake of the head.  "Valerie.  This is important - you're important, you need to know this.  Something I should have told you months ago."  There were the beginnings of frost on the sides of his face now, and although he was ignoring them she couldn't look away.  What was he trying to prove - did he want to freeze himself to death?  The cold was spreading - slowly, but it was spreading, and he just went on as if it wasn't there at all.  "I was there, Val.”
"Danny, what the hell is this."  Her hands came up to his cheeks, as if she'd brush away frostbite as easily as a tear or a stray fleck of snow.  She was certain, in that moment, that she was watching him freeze to death.
Horrible, and gut-wrenching, but a certainty.
“Danny, come on, this isn’t funny, you have to go - “
Danny's hands came up over hers, and the frost had all but taken over them.  Ice glinted and shimmered with every movement, but somehow he still was moving, and to her it was impossible.  "I'm sorry.  For everything that happened, everything I did.  You deserved to know."
Valerie was almost dizzy, almost sick.  She couldn't watch him die like this - but she couldn't look away, either, and he still had her hands in his own.  He slid them together over his chest, and she placed his uncanny stillness; he wasn't breathing, and even through the gloves of her suit she was sure his heart had quit.
"I know I should have fessed up," said Danny, even as the frost strengthened and solidified and turned his face as if to stone.  His skin had begun to spoil into a bitten off-blue, and the frost had all but sealed his lips together.
"Danny," Valerie whispered, nearly in tears, hoping please that it was some kind of nightmare, "You're - "
(I know) said Danny, his voice coming through to her in the wispy echo she'd grown to hate.  (Be mad if you want.  It's my fault, really, but please, please trust me when I say I never wanted to hurt you)
"Danny. . . what is this. . . "
He gave her hands a squeeze and then melted away into a fog, and all of a sudden she was grasping at the air; she pitched after him - tell me this isn't happening - but the fog soured into shadow and slunk lower against the snow.  The piercing eyes, unblinking, were still on her.
She stood empty-handed, teary-eyed, and in disbelief.  He's a ghost - he's the ghost - was the clearest thing in her mind.  Everything else was blurring together: all those times when he'd sat with her at lunch and just listened to her ramble about things, about anything, just to hear the sound of her voice; the utter surprise in the eyes of that accursed shadowy spirit the first time she'd stared it down rather than run; the way he'd wrap himself around her on the couch to stay warm when she had him over to watch movies; how many times she'd cursed out that haunt to his own face; and how he took it every time, without any hesitation or break in stride.
The shadow at her feet was near-formless, yet somehow still very clearly buckled on its knees.  Its eyes - his eyes - made her heart melt and break in equal measure.  I was there, he'd said, and now she understood.
She may never have caught that phantom but he'd been in her reach the whole time.
It felt like a betrayal.  He'd been right under her nose and any time she'd close in on him he'd just disappear.  The insidious thing was, though, that he wouldn't just disappear.  He'd be at her side, listening to her vent in the cafeteria, watching movies with her in her own living room.  He went on as if it was nothing.
As if he expected it to be okay.
"How could you."
His eyes were still on hers, round and green and pitiful.  (I fucked up, Val, I know I did, but please, can’t we fix this)
"How could you," she stepped back, breath hitching in her chest, feeling her cheeks grow hot and her blood boil.  "You knew - this whole time you knew and you let it happen."
(I swear I didn't want any of this - )
"Well what the fuck did you want, then?  Did you think it was just going to turn out okay?"  There were tears in her eyes and she couldn't stop them, but she'd be damned if she gave in.  "Did you think I was going to forget about it?  After all the shit you destroyed?"
(No, Val, listen - )
"And I'm supposed to forgive you now, right?  Just because you said you were sorry?"
(No) said the ghost, (You don't have to do that but please - )
"Great because I'm not fucking going to!"  She felt as if she was breaking.  The fire in her chest said shoot him, he deserves it.  For months she'd wanted to see him like that, all crumpled up and at her feet, and she'd wanted to put him out of his misery.
But she couldn't do it.
She couldn't do it, and no matter that it wasn’t fair, the fire in her chest was burning out.
(Valerie) the ghost - Danny - whispered, motionless against the snow.  (Please, I have to fix this.  I want us to fix this)
"I was supposed to trust you."  Her voice was strained and fraying, and just the sound of it made Danny flinch.  "I did trust you.  All this time.”
Danny hesitated, but the forming ice crystals in the corners of his eyes said it all.  He hung his head, and the whisper of his voice was barely there.  (I know)
“And you still think you can fucking fix this?”
(I don’t know) said Danny, withdrawing into himself a little.  (I want to.  Whatever it takes I just want you to be okay)
Valerie huffed.  “And I’m supposed to believe you now.  Because you’re sorry, right?”
(Val, please, be mad all you want but don’t - )
“Get out of here.”
Valerie couldn't stand it.  No matter that he was a ghost, or all the things he'd destroyed - she couldn't snap her fingers and quit caring about him because he was still human and it hurt.  Underneath the shadows and the wispy white hair he was still Danny-who-went-to-the-movies and Danny-who-made-her-snort-milk-at-lunch and Danny-that-always-had-a-spare-kitkat-because-he-knew-they-were-her-favorite, and to see him cry broke her.
(No, don’t - )
"Get out of here,” she snapped, with the last ounce of anger she had, “and don't you ever let me see your face again."
Danny said nothing.  For an unbearable moment he just stared up at her with those sad broken eyes, but with the wind and the creaking of the trees he was gone.
And Valerie sat on the idling hoverboard and let herself fall apart.

Danny Phantom things
Ok, so I love Danny Phantom with all my heart. Like, seriously it’s a great show, it should be way more popular than it is. However, there are some things that... irk me a bit, when it comes to some of the characters and how they were handled. Of course there’s the general complaint of “Danny Phantom should’ve been darker, it’s premise is literally about a 14 year old who halfway died in his parents basement!” And while I do agree that it could’ve been darker than it was, I don’t believe that making the show dark and gritty would’ve been a good idea. The reason that episodes like Reign Storm and The Ultimate Enemy stand out is because they are INCREDIBLY dark episodes surrounded by more lighthearted fluff. They provide a sudden gut punch of emotion and angst and, in the case of The Ultimate Enemy, a reminder that death is something that should be taken seriously in the show. Just because the main character gets powers from being dead doesn’t mean everyone else does. In that regard, I think the show does a good job.
That being said, I do have some issues with the characters and their interactions with other characters.
Let’s start with Valerie Gray. I quite honestly believe that she was a great love interest for Danny (I am a diehard GrayGhost shipper), much better than Sam was. They had some really good chemistry between each other, with Danny being the first person to really try to help her after she got kicked out of the A-listers, and Valerie being one of the first people outside of Sam and Tucker to not judge Danny for his parents.
On that note, why does the show always treat Danny’s parents like complete idiots? I mean, they built a PORTAL TO ANOTHER DIMENSION IN THEIR BASEMENT. IN THEIR BASEMENT. That’s ridiculous. That has to take a crazy level of genius to be able to build that with limited resources and money, while also taking care of two kids. I get that neither Jack nor Maddie have a lot of common sense or tact, but they are by no means stupid. Like yeah, they didn’t notice that their son was an actual ghost, but that doesn’t make them complete idiots. They just lack social awareness and deductive logic.
And then there’s the villains. While some, like Vlad and Dan are done very well, I think that some of the others could stand to be better developed, or just. Have more screen time? Instead of it just being Skulker all the time? Like, where’s Ember? What about Poindexter? Or even, like, Pariah Dark! I would’ve loved to see him come back! And then, there’s Dan. We got that one sort of tease in end of The Ultimate Enemy, and then we never see him again! I think THAT would’ve been a much better series finale than Phantom Planet, Dan just coming back, realizing he’s no longer in the timeline and therefore won’t be affected if he kills Danny, Dan taking out Clockwork with ease to show that yea, this is some serious shit.
And then Dan shows up at Vlad Masters doorstep, with Vlad barely making it out alive. Danny is at home, and is worrying about telling his parents due to Jazz’s insistence that them knowing he’s phantom won’t make them hate him, that it’ll improve their relationship, that Danny needs to relieve himself of all that stress, that he should tell them to just get it off his chest.
And then Vlad shows up, battered and beaten on Danny’s doorstep. Usually, Danny would be suspicious, but then Vlad describes a ghost with a white cape and flaming white hair and that insignia on his chest, and Danny knows. And he’s terrified, because Dan’s back, Clockwork was supposed to stop that from happening, did Dan defeat Clockwork somehow?
So Danny decides to help Vlad, and Jack and Maddie show up and freak out about Vlad while Danny has a silent breakdown. The only ones who notice are Jazz and Vlad. The only one who knows why is Jazz. Jazz now redoubles her efforts to get Danny to talk, who is now even more adamant about not telling Jack and Maddie about him being phantom. Because then he’d have to tell them about Dan, and Danny doesn’t know if he’ll be able to handle his parents being afraid of him. Of what he might become.
And then Dan shows up.
All hell breaks loose as Danny has to fight for his life, for his future, against a ghost he knows is so much more powerful than him. Danny is trying, desperately trying, to keep Sam and Tucker and Jazz and his parents as far away from the fight as possible. This is his problem. He won’t let anyone get hurt trying to fix it.
Meanwhile, Vlad is on the sidelines, still recovering from his run in with Dan. He’s close enough to see the fight between Danny and Dan, but far enough away so that he won’t get hurt.
And that’s when he realizes.
The Costume, the ghostly wail, the stylized D on this strange ghosts chest. The name. Danny’s panic attack when Vlad described him. The sheer, raw terror that now lights up Phantom’s eyes, that Vlad has only ever glimpsed. Clockworks disappearance.
That’s Danny. Danny is fighting a future version of himself. Danny, that scrawny teenager who gets d’s and c’s in all his classes, who is barely 5 foot 3, who is still a child
Is fighting for the lives of his family, his friends, even his enemy.
Fighting against a ghost who took out Clockwork, a ghost who destroyed Vlad without breaking a sweat.
And he’s holding his own. This skinny teen, who Vlad has firmly believed was nothing more than a nuisance, was fighting against his future, against his fate, all by himself.
And that is the moment that Vlad realises that Danny is far stronger than he believed. That if Danny were to actually fight him one on one, no schemes or interference, Danny would kick his ass.

Four Departments of New York City Government Summoned to Rescue Feline.

From the New York World.

Curiosity, as you may recall—

On the fifth floor of the apartment house at 203 West 130th street lives Miss Mable Godfrey. When she came to the house about seven months ago she brought Blackie, a cat of several years' experience of life.

The cat seldom left the apartment. He was a hearth cat, not a fence cat, and did not dearly love to sing. In other respects he was normal and hence curious.

Last Tuesday afternoon when Miss Godfrey was out Blackie skipped into the grate fireplace in a rear room. He had done this many times before. But he had not climbed up the flue to the chimney. This he did Tuesday. Blackie there remained, perched on the top of the screen separating the apartment flue from the main chimney, crying for assistance. Miss Godfrey, returning, tried to induce her pet to come down. If you are experienced in felinity, you know that Blackie didn't come down.

On Wednesday the cat, curiosity unsatisfied, tried to climb higher—and fell to the first floor. His cries could still be heard by Miss Godfrey; who, to effect Blackie's rescue, communicated with the following departments:

1. Police department.
2. Fire department.
3. Health department.
4. Building department.
5. Washington Heights court.

Among them they lowered a rope to Blackie. But it availed neither the cat nor them anything.

Thursday morning, just before noon, a plumber opened the rear wall back of the chimney. Blackie was taken out. His fall had injured his back. Ten minutes later Blackie died. (at Mirus Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/lovefeelsbest/p/CXo8kEavylB/?utm_medium=tumblr

For the ship ask:
I know you’re fond of GrayGhost but DarkGray? (Dan x Val)
the year was 2014 and cars were flying, even though that does not sound correct.
Whoever wrote TUE was very delulu. But its okay thats why im re-writing it rn.
Anyway, the year was 2014.
Valerie was doing her rounds around Amity Park, making sure everything was alright. She definitely landed somewhere at the end of that if i remember the episode right.
I think she was talking with her dad over her little communicator. YEAH THATS WHAT SHE DID. And then suddenly the transmission got cut and instead she heard a very chilling voice come from the device.
“Hello Valerie.”
Ugh of course.
“Phantom!” she yelled annoyed. “I was just talking to my dad! It was important, could you for once ring like a normal person?”
“Fuck your dad, this couldnt wait”
“I hope you actually didnt fuck my dad.”
“Not yet. Anyway listen. I have a somg for you.”
A song? What is he on about? Did he really call her just to send her a song?
This guy was more insane than they already thought he is. Good thing the shield was keeping him out of the city, cuz if Valerie had to deal with him popping up out of nowhere all the time like this she would be very inconvenienced.
“Yeah, a song, listen.” he said as he took a deep breath and……started singing opera?
And god damn did he hit those notes.
She flushed a bit, she couldnt help it. She always loved opera. It was very cute of him.
As he slowly drew to the end of the song, she wondered. Maybe shell let him in thru the shield for tonight again. As long as she keeps an eye on him and the city doesnt know its FINE.
Just gotta make sure he doesnt fuck her dad.

Six Questions Meme
Tagged by @kai-here, so why not?
1. Relationship Status?
Comfortably Single.  Tentatively sitting in the DemiRo & Ace camps, so no immediate plans to change that. Me and my future cat will be very happy, thank you.
2. Favourite Colour?
Bright cool red (Crimson). Basically this:
Tumblr media
3. Top 3 ships?
... Meh.  I'm more interested in relationships between characters as people, and why they would be (non-romantic/sexually) interested in being around each other than in shipping them.  So long as the characters are mutually interested, have an emotionally healthy dynamic and it’s decently written I’m pretty ‘ship and let ship’ about the whole business.
Ships I’ll actively seek out if in the mood:
Tododeku/Todoiideku, Kiribaku, (My Hero Academia)
Spitfire (Young Justice S1)
AmethystOcean, GrayGhost (Danny Phantom)
4. Lipstick or chapstick?
Both have their place and purpose but I don’t really use either unless I have reason to.
5. Last song listened to?
Either Leave a Light On by Tom Walker, or The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel because what even are consistent music choices?
6. Last movie watched?
In Theatres:  Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse   It’s been talked to death, but really, anyone with even a passing interest in Marvel or Film Animation in General should go see this one, it’s very good. 
In General:  Sherlock Holmes & Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (Yes, the Guy Ritchie, RDJ ones) Comfort-watching for surprisingly competent mystery plots and good snappy banter.
Surprise, surprise, the person who writes superhero-mystery fanfic preferentially watches superhero and detective movies, who could have seen this coming?
That’s my six.
Chosen victims Nominees:
@ladylynse @phantoms-lair @batmanisagatewaydrug @buttofgrayson - tagging you in if it’s something you feel like doing.
Plus anyone else who thinks it would be fun.
