Alternatives to Danny not revealing his identity out of fear of being turned against/experimented on
It just straight up does not occur to him to tell his parents. What self-respecting teenager has open communication with their parents, Jazz? DON’T ANALYZE THAT--
Danny just knows they’ll be cringe about it and even if Danny Fenton is lame he at least wants Danny Phantom to stay cool. If Danny Phantom gets along with the Fentons that’s like... -100000 cool points.
Danny is 110% sure that his dad will reveal his secret ID within two seconds of knowing.
Phantom breaks curfew all the time and Danny just really would like to not be grounded (literally)
He’s so scared that his parents will blame themselves for killing him and he loves them far too much to let that be a possibility
His dad once said “the day I team up with Phantom is the day I eat my hat” and Danny who has, tragically, seen his dad follow up on promises like that, is really worried that his dad will, in fact, eat his hat, and didn’t learn his lesson last time
Danny’s kind of embarrassed that he got to space as Phantom first instead of as an actual astronaut, so he doesn’t want to tell his parents until he’s an astronaut who has been to space “properly”
Danny just really likes superhero comics and everyone has a secret identity but literally the only people who don’t know about him being Phantom are his parents so he has to work with that
Jazz asked him to refreeze her smoothie once and he just KNOWS his parents are going to do it too once they find out about his ice powers
He can’t explain being a ghost and thinking they’re lame without revealing that he thinks that he’s lame. Which would be fine except his mom gives these really long, terrible pep talks about how he’s a “cool cat” and “really quite radical... kids still use those terms, right?”
Phantom once tripped in front of his parents once and Danny can never live that down
