@alteredphoenix I completely agree! The ice core is amazing and I love it for him-
But!
It has never really made sense to me, nothing about Danny screams ice or cold, I get that it's also a major factor in his ghost sense but man they missed hard, his character (to me) shows warmth and energy.
So... looking Into what Ice and cold can represent in media,
This one sort of fits, being a halfa is new territory, for both him and the ghost zone. Him falling into his powers and discovering new things. All uncharted, new.
Rigidity and stillness... Not so much, Dannys life takes off in so many new directions, there isn't a standstill in his life and he definitely isn't devoid of sentiment. If anything he has more, he's using everything he has just to save people, because it's the "right" thing to do. He has so many emotions and thoughts on all this new information he is being exposed to, processing so many new things.
Absent of hate, yeah I see that, true hate? That's something I think takes a lot for Danny to feel, along with wrath.
This one fits extremely well, Danny has to be really mentally unwell after everything he's been through, he's around his parents that are constantly spouting how much they hate his kind and what they want to do to them. Lack of love? I'm sure he's feeling that, ik I would be. But it also doesn't fit because he has the love of most people in his life, his friends and Jazz, even his parents (albeit half the time) I think it's a huge part of the show how much love he is surrounded with, their friendship is a huge part of it. Jazz accepting him and him accepting Dani, there isn't a lack of love.
(I haven't watched the show in a hot minute tho)
Death, absolutely, he's dead. He's surrounded by death and other dead people.
I don't see Dannys character of one of hatred or destruction, Dan. Sure, but we're talking about Danny.
But most of these aren't in the show, they don't dive into it and so it comes off as extremely out of place. It's not like it makes no sense, him having ice powers was never something I thought needed to be changed, I still don't, it does make me think about why he does have an ice core though when electricity was right there.
Now here's my own thoughts on electricity and how that would have worked.
He died surrounded by electricity and ectoplasm, he can use ecto energy so it makes sense that he would also be able to use electricity. Vald isn't shown to use an ice core so it can't be that it because he’s half dead, there isn't a sold reason as to why it can't be electric. (I wish the show went into more details about cores)
Electricity to me shows warmth and power, Danny is shown to be powerful, he is a newly formed ghost and he manages to beat multiple strong ghosts that have been around for way longer than him. I took that as him being extremely powerful, he is also shown to be compassionate and caring. He's a good person with a good heart, being dead and warm doesn't go hand in hand but I don't think that matters all that much.
He's always moving and flowing, both with his movements in fights and his opinions and values. He's a growing teenage boy and is learning new things about himself and the world, ghosts and the zone included, he's growing and lighting a light in the kids of Amity. Sparking change for ghosts and painting them in a new light for humans. He's both a ray of hope for the citizens he's protecting and the ghosts he helping, almost like a new era, like when we discovered electricity and it changed our daily lives.
He's also dangerous, and deadly.
One wrong move and he could end a life, end whole cities (as shown in The Ultimate Enemy) much like one wrong move with electricity and you're left injured or dead.
Overall electricity is good and it helps us everyday but it can also cause serious harm and I think that suits Danny so well, him being afraid of what he can do with his powers after the whole Dan scare, the warmth he brings Amity and the zone, it fits him perfectly imo.
And them there's the angst of having a power that literally killed him, that would be terrifying.
I keep forgetting to post these, I redesigned my dragon Green bc I honestly wasn't happy with the first attempt, plus a bonus catboy Blue! (they r in love)
(I added alt text if you can't make out my writing.)
It's mostly me projecting but i HC that they both self harmed during their later teen years as a result of feeling abandoned by their family and overall just feeling empty emotionally.
( also their death for this drawing is the same as season 2. )
Glen's handmade tattoo is what they did as a result of boredom, carving a heart right beside their right collarbone, without depressing or malicious intent towards themselves.
I also created Child ghosts of Glen and Glenda.
(I also added alt text to this one too.)
Their child spirits are separate from their current spirits if that makes sense, its almost like taking the phrase 'inner child' to a whole other meaning.
Glen and Glenda's child spirits don't understand why they're dead, where they are or how they died, they're both equally scared and confused.
It leaves Glen and Glenda being the only ones left to comfort themselves basically, the child spirits can see the teen/adult spirits but can't recognize that they're the same people just in the future.
Okay, but imagine like years and years later, post Amphibia, where the Government is building their own portal to study Amphibia (since a single physicist and some engineering grad students were able to build a functional one off the funding of a single middle class family in a garage) and they decide they need teams of entomologists and herpetologists once they establish a stable portal to properly study the environment.
You’re staffer going through a list of applications who discovers one that particularly stands out to you. “Anne Boonchuy” She’s fairly new to the field of Herpetology, only recently earned her doctorate. There are certainly much more qualified candidates, But what really sticks it in their brain is that under Relevant Experience, she added “Lived in Amphibia for several months as a teenager”
Now it clicks. Right, Anne Boonchuy. From that thing in Los Angeles all those years ago where a 13 year old girl with superpowers fought a giant salamander in a mech suit and then disappeared. Did that actually happen? If it did, shouldn’t she be more famous?
You assume the application was a joke sent by some bored teenager on the internet who thought it’d be funny. Which you have to admit it kind of is. So instead of throwing away the application, you keep it.
Later on, you show your friend on the current science team the application. They don’t laugh, instead examining at the paper, intrigued. You assume they just don’t recognize the name and try to jog their memory. They assure you that that’s not it.
What stood out to them is that when they managed to make brief contact with the locals through the portal, after the team revealed that they were contacting them from earth, they asked if we knew Anne Boonchuy.
You take back the paper. And decide you should probably set Anne up with an interview.

Summary:
'“Okay, so where are you going with all of this?” Legend finally snapped, leaning forwards with a glare.
“This is why I have called you here. We wish to pass a bill,” Zelda spoke, her voice low as she studied all of the heroes. “This bill would state that all heroes in the far future will operate under the command of the royal family - including all of you while you are in this era. You will only act on threats if and when it is deemed necessary, as will future heroes.”
The silence in the air was deafening.'

Alternatively; I take the plotline for Captain America: Civil War, take off a few bits and pieces, and then shove it in a blender with all of the Links. Enjoy!
What if 25 years later was ACTUALLY about Mephiles taking over the kingdom of Soleanna and Elise had to get Sonic’s help to reclaim her kingdom
haha jk... unless?
