rough af danny phantom stuff. Having fun experimenting with a looser style? it's a lot faster / messier but it still feels right. i still want to make lots of fully rendered beautiful art but it's super handy to be able to shit out something and still like it. it's inevitable i'll end up drawing every ghost.. multiple times.
The autism is too.. powerful u _ u
speaking of autism i might post shit about my dp AUs or whatever. IDK. Cringe culture is DEAD (haha dead, ghosts, haha)

Man :/ the vague implication that Poindexter probably died in his locker still haunts me. Like, he got shoved into his locker so much that he haunts it, sure, but the existence of a mirror that leads to his lair kinda... Man. Man. The idea that someone shoved him into his locker right before spring break and just... no one found him. Whoof.

@ectoberhaunt Day 17. Valerie’s got a huge variety of unique Ecto samples from the ghosts she’s fought with and encountered as the Red Huntress. And unlike Danny she doesn’t get a lot of proper introductions with them so she just makes her own names for them like Jazz did in the show. Even if she knows their names, she tries to avoid using them as she doesn’t want to humanize her enemies.
And something she doesn’t like to admit, she finds some of their ecto pretty cool(def not a fan of Danny’s, especially not during blackouts)….
What do u think? What do you think their ecto would be like? I’d love to know💖

I was rewatching Danny Phantom a few weeks ago and I just have to share something about this one episode that’s been bugging me from somewhere in the back of my mind this entire time.
It’s the episode ‘Splitting Images’.
Okay, for those not in the know, this episode deals with Danny having enough of being bullied by Dash and starts using his ghost powers to push back. This eventually ends up summoning Sidney Poindexter to Casper High, a ghost of a kid from the 50s who was shoved into his locker so much, rumors say it’s still haunted to this day.
Now, here’s the part that I didn’t really have as much of a problem with when I was younger but in present makes me want to tear my hair out. Poindexter witnesses what Danny is up to and somehow comes to the conclusion that Danny is the bully and Dash is the poor, innocent victim.
I get that the moral of the episode was supposed to be that Danny shouldn’t use his powers for the sake of revenge, but as much as I love this show, there were better ways this could have been said.
Personally, here’s how I would have done it:
Poindexter is summoned and immediately sympathizes with Danny, sees him as the victim of vicious bullying that he is, and wishes to befriend him. Because that’s all that Poindexter really wanted in his own time of need, before becoming a ghost - a friend.
And since this is the fifth episode of the series, Poindexter would be the first ghost he’s encountered that isn’t hostile towards him - so after a moment of suspicion and disbelief, Danny accepts him.
Poindexter approves of Danny using his powers for revenge against his tormentors and decides to join him. Sam warns Danny that this is going to end badly, but Tucker is all for it.
Until the pranks Poindexter wants to pull on Dash and company grow unquestionably more dangerous.
Anyways, Danny eventually realizes that, though Poindexter does genuinely see him as his friend, his lust for revenge is stronger than the bond they’ve built over the past few days. And so, Danny has to fight him and send him back to The Ghost Zone.
Danny acknowledges that Sam had a point, that he was on the path to becoming as obsessed with exacting vengeance on those who have wronged him as Poindexter, and she and Tucker comfort him over him losing the first ghost friend he ever made.
I just feel like this episode had a lot of potential to explore Danny’s morality and how uncomfortable he is with how close he was to becoming the bad guy (and possibly foreshadowing the events of ‘The Ultimate Enemy’) but all of it was wasted on Poindexter being an idiot and believing that Dash, walking wall of muscle and quarterback of the football team, was the blameless victim in the situation.
