Hello people who are getting into Danny Phantom through dpxdc!

I am not a dpxdc blog, but I am a gen dp blog. Here's a few things you should know about us:

👻 Most of us do not like Butch Hartman, the executive producer. We typically ignore him now. What you may not know is that while he was the "business guy" and the one who pitched the show, beloved artist and character designer Stephen Silver is actually the one who designed the characters for Danny Phantom (and, presumably, his team). Not only that, but he has also designed characters for many other shows of that era, including Kim Possible.

👻 Yes, we call ourselves the "phandom." We also, jokingly, sometimes put a ph in front of other things, like calling a fic a phic. It's a bit—don't take it too seriously.

👻 Yes, we have a subgenre of our fanfiction dubbed as the "dissection fic." While I may be a bit biased (as I've written a few), I think it's pretty good. You may enjoy it too if you like angst, who knows.

👻 No, you did not miss an episode, we collectively "made" an OC named Wes Weston who had the same character model as Danny but with a different color pallet. We just thought it was funny. You can read about his story here. The tl;dr is that he's the town crazy conspiracy theorist, he's the only one who knows Danny Fenton is Phantom, and he is constantly trying to prove it but nobody believes him. You remember Dib from Invader Zim? He's like Dib.

👻 On the contrary, you remember the finale of the show? That's okay, we don't either. Phantom Planet who? Never heard of her.

👻 But on the topic of adding things to fanon, the show's been off the air for decades. We're still around. Naturally, we've added things and made different AUs overtime. Different creators have different AUs they like, but you don't have to prescribe to any of them if you don't want. If you're confused about anything you see, feel free to pop me or anyone else an ask and we'd be happy to explain!

👻 There's also different bits of lore that were hinted on in canon that we've expanded. Things like ghost cores, half-ghost biology, worldbuilding with the ghost zone, ghosts having obsessions, dynamics at the school, etc. You're free to adopt or ignore whatever you'd like.

👻 The show is no ATLA, and it's a bit dated for its time, but overall it's a fairly fun background show you can throw on while you're cooking. If you've never seen an episode, I highly recommend watching at least a few fan favorites. I made a list here a while back, and I think it still holds up pretty well.

👻 We host a LOT of events. There's a full calendar of them here. You can assume these are crossover-friendly unless the event coordinators state otherwise (like in the case of phic phight). Feel free to join some!

Welcome, and have fun!

Hey y'all, little PSA from your local fanfiction gremlin.

It seems like the AO3 ai spam comments have made their way to the dp phandom! If you get a comment under your works that says something like:

>"This work has been generated using HoloAI" >"We've detected AI was used to create this work" >"Work scanned, AI use detected"

Rest assured, there is no scanning process, and your work was not actually "detected" by anyone for using AI. It's just a spam bot someone built as a...prank? The intentions really aren't clear.

AO3 has put out a statement about it that says the following:

So that's it! Mark it as spam and move on.

Happy writing!

@narwhalsarefalling and I have very different theses projects

#lexospeaks #guys rey is a NERD #everyone go give them a wedgie for being a nerd #and then steal their lunch money

i've spent the past week not sleeping and also editing literally thousands of instances of combat foley/fx (punching, body falling on floor, crashing down stairs, gunshots hitting chestplate, etc) and what has happened is that now my brain is subconsciously judging every little impact sound and grading it by how satisfying it sounded.

Backpack hit the floor? Ooo very nice sound—hey you know we should record—

Dropped jacket? Ooo did you hear the way the fabric—

Swung suitcase shut? Wow the way the hard parts of the suitcase combined with the jingle from the zippers—

Dropped something on rug? Hey you know what would be a really good idea—

#not dp related #lexospeaks #sorry y'all for the lack of both fanfiction and me being funny im in recovery from my thesis panel #literally just microdosed on sleep for 2hrs and now im eating dinner at 12:30am cuz i forgot to eat a proper meal yesterday

I feel like any time you ever feel the need to ask "Lexx why are u doing this" just picture me, evil grin, green fire surrounding me, O Fortuna playing from all angles around the room.

And that should pretty much answer your question

I’m wearing glasses for the first time since high school and it’s a stronger prescription than what I used to have and just a question to all my glasses gang: does “the world moving around like you’re drunk” feeling go away or is that just a perk of the prescription or—?

#not dp related #lexospeaks #i feel so short in these #has anyone ever puked the first time they wore glasses before or #cuz the motion sickness i can see mhmm yes

[lexosaurus]

having this trash blog taught me real irl skills like photoshop and video editing that i put on my resume and i find that personally offensive

#not me seeing how quickly i was able to make photoshop edits now compared to a few years ago #and how much easier it is to do now #and realizing well. shit. #lexospeaks

i defend my thesis tomorrow. absolutely freaking wild. who let me get this far honestly? that should be illegal.

i saw someone reblog with "master lexx" yesterday and yes that is the term i will be using from now on thank you for the idea. bow to me, peasants

ok jokes aside i realize i have several WIPs desperate for updates. all have drafts in various states of completion (from "literally 500 words away from being done" to "i think there's a blank doc somewhere...") gonna just knock 'em out one by one starting when i get out tomorrow.

update order will be as follows:

The Truth to Light -3rd and final chapter

Everything Was White -chapter 21

Emergency Contact -3rd and final part

and then, you know, we'll see how it goes from there

thank u for all the patience ✌️

#danny phantom #phandom #lexospeaks #the defense is not open to the public -- only the school #i know someone asked about that #honestly didn't invite anyone anyway since all my closest friends don't even go to this school akjsnkjdnf #we all went to undergrad together and then just happened to all migrate to the same city #so if i was gonna invite people it would be them #but the school said no >:( #so...that sucks but oh well c'est la vie

Ok I never do these tag games but I'm like eh what the heck I wanna ramble!

Previous thread was super long so I'm making this its own post.

Tagged by @going-getting-got-ghost (obsessed with ur username btw)

Currently reading: In between books! Just finished rereading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir because I needed something lighter and fun (after reading Jennette McCurdy’s autobiography which can I just say GOD DAMN). About to start reading (tonight!) A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Naas because one of my good friends recommended it!

Favorite Color(s): Purple and black

Last Song: According to Spotify it was Îles by Jordan Critz from my “Orchestral S Tier” playlist

Last Movie: John Wick (the first one) with my bf. Called it “the male gaze on screen” and he laughed.

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: SWEET

Currently Working On: Finishing up writing Chapter 21 of Everything Was White! Excited to post it!

Heya just an update on my fics :)

Due to timelines with my thesis getting moved around, I'm not going to be updating any fics this month. I very much apologize to those who were looking forward to the next round of fic updates, but with the way my schedule is right now, that's just not possible.

I'll be able to to resume writing in mid-March after this deadline, and so I'll have two updates ready at the end of March.

I'm pinning the Side Hoes Week Calendar to my blog for the next two weeks. After the event is over, I will re-pin the DP Events Calendar as normal! (for those who are wondering where the dp events link went!)
