Imagine Danny, after years of being ridiculed by mass media, decides to go on a podcast so his side of the story can be heard.
Problem is he can’t find a podcast to go on. A lot of them are to afraid of Phantoms enemies or just not interested. So in classic Danny fashion he decides to fix the problem himself so records and releases a 1 hour tell all interview on being a teenage hero. With Danny as the host and Phantom as the guest with some help from Tucker for the editing to make it all seem like one seamless conversation between two people.
All posted on a YouTube channel they made called “Beneath the Cape”
He thought it would be a one time thing. That maybe down the road he might do another interview with his dead self to talk about other things but he really didn’t expect more than that.
He definitely did not expect to get emails from other heroes asking if they can come on the podcast as a guest.
Because apparently being frustrated by the media giving you a bad wrap is a universal experience in the hero world and after a thorough background check they trusted him to portray them in a more accurate light.
He never could have imagined it get this big but now look at him. Having a shared ranting session with Red Hood about weird billionaires trying to be their fathers.
Vlogger Danny in Gotham
Danny moves to Gotham with Sam and Tucker and decides it would be a fun idea to record their journey from packing their things in Amity to recording how life is in Gotham.

The trio packing their things:
Sam: "Do we really need to pack so many weapons?"
Tucker: "I mean they have a very high crime rate so.."
Danny: "So? They're mortal we've handled worse on the regular."
Viewers: " Yo yeah.. what the hell are ya'll talking about?!"

Tucker holding the camera when Danny runs into frame
Danny: "Sorry I'm late I got jumped scared by some clown and accidentally snatched his wig!"
Sam: "I think you're still holding it in your hand?"
Danny lifting his hand into the cameras view
Tucker: "Uh babe? I don't think that's a wig.."
Sam: " Holy shit! Did you just scalp some clown?!"

Just an Idea
You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.
War Day
After Danny was crowned he decided that the truce party had to have a counterpart, after all ghosts became friends mostly through battles, and he assumed that one day letting them fight wouldn't be a bad thing, it might even help stir up some grudges.
This was how High King Phantom, ruler of the infinite realms inaugurated the long-awaited "Day of War" or just "War Day", a moment when the Infinite Realms naturally became chaotic; alliances were allowed but it was not advisable to trust on them.
And of course, you were free not to participate, you just had to put a blue or green band on your arm, or a little green clock in the backyard of your haunt so the ghosts would leave you, your haunt or your territory in general alone.
Danny thought of it as some kind of giant paintball day, only with no paintballs and full of aggressive ghosts with various powers, it was especially exciting since everyone knew there would be no hard feelings after it and they would end up in the king's palace eating sweets as little children.
They usually celebrated it on a day close to any celebration related to death in human world, when their powers were especially powerful and therefore everyone could have more fun.
The problem was that since Danny had human friends (liminals?) who came to play, they didn't really consider it weird when some humans fell into the realms by a natural portal, and since they weren't wearing any blue or green arm bands they were definitely in the game.
For their part, the family of bats along with some League allies found themselves literally standing on a field of war where everyone seemed to be going for the kill, Jason was strangely excited about it, as was Damian.
When Dick asked one of the locals for an explanation, a guy on a motorbike threw him into the air laughing and yelled "LET THE HUNGER GAMES BEGIN!"

instead of going on a murderous rampage, jason decides that the best way to get revenge is to be petty. he puts up an ad saying he's looking for a new mentor, making up a 1 star review for batman saying "he let me die. would not reccommend"
phantom, famous veteran hero and notoriously known for rejecting every offer to join the justice league he's ever received, applies for the position. they proceed to terrorise the jl together.
(danny doesn't kill the joker but he drops him in a cell in walker's prison, which means he's as good as dead.)
(to make this even funnier, other sidekicks slowly start applying to work with phantom. i'm thinking conner kent and roy harper but it could be others)
(danny doesn't hate heroes but he doesn't trust their work with the government. he'll lend a hand if there's an apocalyptic threat but he's marked by the jl as a last resort, both because he's crazy powerful, not a team player and because he'll spend half the time pranking the flash since it amuses clockwork)
BNHA AU where Izuku and Shigaraki, thanks to new LOV ally, who decides to frame them both into a difficult situation use her quirk on them. Now they are stuck in a different dimension where they are brothers apparently and The whole UA and their battles are only a tv series. As if their situaction was not complicated enough as it is, their quirks seems to come back slowly over time. Meanwhile they have to addapt to new reality without super Powers, find their way back and maybe bond over their brotherhood everyone is talking about.
Just a few more days left of my Koi Lantern Kickstarter! Kickstarter.com/projects/yuumei/paper-koi-lantern-a-diy-kit
I can’t thank you all enough for helping me bring these koi to life❤️
very tired of the ‘Dick Grayson is mostly a pretty boy with bad puns, golden retriever vibes’ trope. Give me German Shepherd Dick. Give me the ‘consummate performer’ Dick. The one all, brilliance, bloody smiles and showmanship, the one with razor sharp wit and charm made weapon. Dick who seamlessly switches between a million personas. The one who doesn’t know what to do when the show’s over. Give me the Dick no one wants to be on the wrong side of because Nightwing might not start battles, but he finishes them. The only one whose threats the entire Batfam (including Bruce) takes seriously. The one fear toxins can’t affect because he’s been to hell and back.
The Dick who unlike Jason doesn’t even mention how much he’s been fucked up and survived. The one the Joker knew he couldn’t break.
Duke: I know I'm new, but are we going to talk about the thing clinging to Alfred? Damian: What are you babbling about? Duke: The thing made of shadows and glowing green eyes. It's wrapped around Alfred like 24/7 Jason: I've never seen anything like that around Alfred. Tim: Me neither. Duke: Are you sure? I used to see it even before I was officially taken in. There are some photos online, too. See? Damian: *squints* That just looks like some bad lighting. Hey, isn't this your paramour's conspiracy blog, Drake? Tim: Yeah, that's Bernad's page. Hold on, let me give him a call and see if he knows anything. A few hours later Tim: According to Bernard, there is this whole theory that Alfred is being haunted by some demon because before the Waynes were killed, many photos with the butler in them always had some kind of shadowy figure wrapped around him. In Batman's early days, some thought the shadowy figure was Batman. Duke: Yeah, I've always been able to see that thing around Alfred. I just assumed it was Batman's kind of BS that we all ignored. Dick: Are you guys talking about Danny? Damian: It has a name? Dick: Yeah, apparently, it was a family friend. Alfred's mother, Samantha, knew him in life, but he vanished when they were fourteen. He supposedly came back and just stuck around when she got married. Then Danny moved to Alfred when his mother died. Maybe one day he'll pick one of us! Bruce spraying on holy water: That someone will not be me. Alfred cleaning a vase: Danny says not to fight the inevitable Master Bruce. Bruce: You tell Danny to GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.
The thing about Danny Phantom is that he is an absolute troll. Dani had to inherit it from somewhere after all and it wasn't going to be Vlad. So when he realized that the Batclan helping him rescue his human half from the GIW thought that they were rescuing his human lover and not his literal other half he absolutely hammed it up. He didn't realize until then that he was an excellent actor, but boy howdy did he have fun playing the distraught lover!
"Darling!" Phantom cried as he cradled his human in his arms. Danny Fenton was quite confused at first but a wide and familiar grin had him realizing this was a prank of some kind.
"Phantom! Did they hurt you?" Danny asked cupping his cheeks, he was a little more sincere in his question as that had been a very real concern for him. Phantom's face instantly softened.
"No, no. I got help from the human heroes around here. Are you okay? They had you for so long...They didn't do anything to you did they?" Phantom asked his aura flaring with warning. Danny shook his head quickly knowing his ghost half could get pretty vengeful without him to balance his emotions out.
"Nah, I'm good. They mostly just yelled at me a lot demanding your weaknesses or whatever. Like I'd tell them shit all about anything let alone you." Danny sighed rolling his eyes heavily.
"Let's not separate like this again for a while. I've been really out of it without you." Phantom admitted hugging his human half closely. Danny grinned like the little asshole he is.
"I don't know, there's at least one good thing about being separated like this." Danny prompted confusing Phantom.
"What could possibly be good about this?" Phantom huffed.
"Well, like this I get to look at you." Danny said his voice quivering with his need to hold in delighted laughter, especially when his ghost half burst into his own delighted laughter.
"Gay." Phantom accused with a cackle. The two laughed together a glow overtaking them both as they finally fused back together, their silliness resolved.
"Woah wait! What was that? Why are you possessing him?" Red Robin spoke up from where he had not been spying, what are you talking about?
"Huh? He's not possessing me. We're two halves of a whole, soulmates if you will." Danny explained with a little grin. "We're both here and both one. We fall apart without each other. This is the most comfortable way to keep each other close."
"...That's kinda romantic." Red Hood admitted mostly to himself and not where anyone else would have heard him.
How many ideas are floating through my Head? No idea either. English is not my First language.
