DannyMay2020: Day 22 (Isolation)

Danny let out a sigh, his breath dissipating into the glowing swirls of energy novas in the ghost zone. He was in his ghost form, perched on a tiny clump of purple land, miles away from the Fenton portal, Walker’s prison, Skulker’s island. Completely alone.

He wanted to go back to the simpler times. When every night he used to sneak up to the observatory above his home and counted the star constellations and dimly glowing planets he could barely distinguish. It was his dream to go out there and step foot on those planets himself. It was ever since he was a kid. And he fought for that dream. Begging his parents to take him to space camp, memorizing by heart how far away every recorded planet is, locking himself in the dryer to simulate a practice takeoff.

He was ambitious. Was. Past tense. Now, that glee from imagining stepping on the moon was lost. Barely a childhood memory. Sitting here in the most isolated part of the ghost zone, he thought this is probably what space is like. Like David Bowie’s Space Oddity.

Jazz was always telling him to take time for himself. He really missed her. Although, she seems to be having the time of her life at Harvard, learning straight from professors who devoted their lives to psychology and meeting people who actually cared for intellectual discussion.

Sam was out at some protest. What was it...the Amity Park Zoo? Even though Sam’s aggressive activism was sometimes annoying, and downright got him in trouble at times (Exhibit A: the lunch lady ghost), he still found it incredibly admirable. She was always so passionate, never relenting until some action was done for a cause she deeply cared about. Despite the constant discouragement from her parents, she still fights for what she believes in. With that trait, Danny knows she’ll go far in life.

Tucker...he was at something called a hackathon? Contrary to Danny’s initial thought, a hackathon was not something where you try to hack as many computers as possible. Although, Tucker would probably participate in something like that too. Being a part of Team Phantom really taught him so much. Having to hack into systems on the fly to thwart Technus’ evil plans or remotely erase footage of Danny’s transformations definitely honed his skills. So much that when he voluntarily disclosed a severe cybersecurity flaw in some multinational corporation’s system, they promised to pay for his entire undergrad and give him a guaranteed job placement after. Danny is so happy for him. He was set.

Danny’s parents were out hosting the world’s first (serious) ghost conference. After months of careful planning, perfecting their inventions to be displayed, and contacting various ectoscientists around the world to be guest speakers, this week the conference finally kicked off. Jack and Maddie Fenton are now seen as world-renowned experts in their field. Danny is so so proud of them. For years he saw first-hand the hard work they put into their research. It’s nice to finally witness them experiencing real success and respect.

Danny? That dream of becoming an astronaut was still just a childhood memory. He just couldn’t spark that same feeling he used to feel from reading NASA’s latest discoveries. Why couldn’t he find joy in it anymore?

Probably, inertly, he knew it would forever remain a dream. First off, he was hardly passing his classes. His grades were far from applicable for any astrophysics program in the country. More importantly, he has bigger responsibilities, bigger than his meager aspirations. Like Spider-Man, with great power comes great responsibility, blah blah blah. Defending Amity Park from evil ghosts has taken over his life.

Not only his life, his friendships too. Honestly, the last time he properly hung out with Tucker and Sam was in sophomore year. Everything they do together now has something to do with Team Phantom. He couldn’t blame them though, ghost hunting took up an enormous chunk of their time too. With the little time they had for themselves, they needed to prepare for college applications. Danny wouldn’t jeopardize their futures like that.

As for Danny’s future, he only saw a lonely never-ending path of protecting the world. Would he get weaker as he gets older? Well, Pariah Dark probably should answer that. Would he actually die? Or does his halfa status grant him immortality? He should ask Vlad sometime.

Eventually everyone will leave him and go on with their own lives. It was inevitable. He was already seeing it starting.

It wasn’t just here, isolated in the ghost zone, where he felt lonely.

It was kinda comforting, sitting here. It’s difficult to explain. Like seeing his inner sentiments displayed in front of him in brutal honesty.

He couldn’t go back to the simpler times. How could he just forget his passion for space? His parents, Tucker, Sam, Jazz--they all had their own passions. They were set on a road to doing what they love for the rest of their lives. Danny knows he always has that opportunity of salvaging his grades, taking another year to meet the requirements for college. But, he really couldn’t care less. What would it matter? Eventually he would get distracted again.

So here he was.

A bright orb of ectoenergy shot off in the distance, resembling a shooting star. Apart from that, complete silence enveloped him. Until his stomach began to rumble.

Sighing once more, Danny stood up and started towards the direction of the Fenton portal.

DannyMay2021

Read on A03 | Fanfiction Net

DannyMay Calendar Prompts

Finally getting back into writing Danny Phantom and what a better way to flex my muscles for the fandom than DannyMay. Have a few larger DP fics in the works for the future, but for now - each DannyMay prompts will vary from 100 - 1k words.

DannyMay2021: Memories

Ghosts never remember their deaths.

His parents had touched on it in their own research, for years they wrote papers on it being such a contributing factor to a ghost in the first place and why many could not just ‘move on’. He never really put much faith into it, considering most of the things he had learned about ghosts later never quite matched up his parents’ papers. Sometimes they came close and it was the times that they came close that actually made him worry about how much they were actually secretly right about.

But the more ghosts he fought - the more he met, the more he befriended - the more he found out that maybe what his parents said was right. At least, that one section was.

Danny first suspected this when he fought Poindexter; the ghost remembered Casper High, to the point his own lair created it, but when it came to the rest of the city? When it came to how he died? Danny learned the hard way that ghosts don’t like those types of questions (this also set back all the progress he made with Poindexter as his ally).

The other ghosts had the same sort of reactions to his questions until he just learned to be quiet - and like hell, he’d ask Vlad.

Danny plops down his bed with a deep sigh.

All he wanted to know was why he couldn’t remember the night of his accident.

I have to say one of my favorite parts of my birthday this year is being in the DP fandom and having everyone do Dannymay content. Like I know that it's not directly for me but I still look at everything everyone does as like a birthday present.

Idk I probs sound dumb but I absolutely love it so yeah. I cradle every scrap of content into my hands and gently hold. It's all so precious in the fandoms own freaky way. (I say freaky cause you have to admit that we got some interesting standards compared to other stuff lol)

Happy dannymay! :D

I might contribute but idk my executive dysfunction is kicking me in the behind so :/ might just post some drawings from my drawing book I don't think I ever shared.

#it's the first day of dannymay!#i'm so excited #this is my first dannymay that I'm actually in the fandom to enjoy

a list of shows i've never watched but have a startlingly good amount of knowledge on solely from tumblr:

miraculous ladybug

i swear i could write a reveal fic at this point.

if im ever bored i will

you'll be surprised by how in character the characters will be, especially since i only know them from gifs and other reveal fics

danny phantom

i've spent at least an hour today looking at the art for dannymay because you dp artists are super talented

and also ghosts?? secret identities?? cool character designs?? thats my Jam

spop

its gay

do i need to say anymore

of course i know about spop

ill probably end up watching this someday solely for catra

stvfoe

i spent an hour yesterday reading an au comic for it and i was proud of how much i understood

the character designs? amazing.

there's magic and demons and really wacky subplots

...why haven't i watched this, now that i think about it?

oh there's like a thousand ships and idk how its fans keep track of them all

honorary list members:

steven universe

not a true member of the list because i watched the pilot episode after hearing how gay and dramatic it was

and was not prepared for cookie cat

regretted the decision after su future but its too long for me to commit now

gravity falls

didn't have disney growing up so i only saw a few episodes while on vacation

but the episodes were mostly ones that didn't contribute to the Plot

a good chunk of my earlier years on tumblr was spent digging through bill cipher because. listen. i like demons.

that one su × gravity falls crossover everyone is gushing about

what can i say?

i love crossovers and good art

the au has both

we'll ignore how this technically isn't a show

catch me someday making a post where i give my assumptions on all of these shows just to see how much i can entertain their fans

#miraculous ladybug #ml #danny phantom #dp #dannymay #spop #she-ra #steven universe #su #gravity falls #gf #su x gf #su roadtrip au #( mage.txt )#i felt like this list needed to be made #and it doesnt even include the countless other shows ive googled/wiki-ed because ive been curious #stvfoe #star versus the forces of evil
