In no particular order.
-No one says the word “wish.” It’s practically a curse.
-Superstition is more common. Throw spilled salt over your shoulder. Don’t walk into a circle of mushrooms. Be extra careful on Friday the 13th. (Ghosts turned out to be real, so what else could be?)
-Halloween is chaos.
-Being awake at night isn’t seen as unusual. Being out and about after dark is risky. Wandering alone between the hours of 12-4 AM is asking for trouble.
-Horror movies? More like comedy movies.
-Same with ”paranormal investigation” shows.
-Crime rate is practically nonexistent.
-Everybody is close-knit.
-The Fenton family is a common topic for gossip. Everyone knows them, and they’re weird, even by Amity Park’s standards.
-People might have mixed feelings about the Fentons or the Red Huntress, but literally no one likes the GIW.
-Amity Park, on a physical level, is weird. The whole town is a liminal space. The ghost and mortal realms can bleed together. Time and space aren’t always 100% certain.
-People are more sensitive to the paranormal. (They know how to tell the difference between a cold breeze and a ghostly chill, at least.)
-People know to tread carefully (politely) in places that are likely to be haunted. (Abandoned places, certain parts of the woods, etc.)
-Graveyards are given extra care and respect.
-Some common protocols for ghost attacks:
Public places like schools and office buildings have specific alarms for ghosts, like fire alarms.
They either evacuate (see: run for their lives), or turn on a ghost shield. (Some places may shield the entire building, or have a designated shelter area that everyone’s supposed to run to.)
If you can’t run or get behind a shield, find somewhere to hide and stay as still and silent as you can. If (when) the ghost finds you, scream as loud as you can so Phantom can hear you. If you have an anti-ghost weapon, use it.
“Wait for Phantom to take care of it” is usually what ends up happening. The ghost hunters might show up as well, but Phantom is there for almost every single attack. (Let’s be honest people just like him more and he does all the work around here anyway.)
-It’s common for people to carry weapons like small ecto-guns and mini shields on their person for self-defense.
-People learned to recognize the different ghosts that visit Amity. They know their names and which ones are the most dangerous and all that.
-Often, people watch how Phantom reacts to a ghost (whether or not he fights them, and how much effort he puts into it) to gauge how much of a threat they are. Sometimes people just ask him. He seems to know all the ghosts.
-Phantom also seems to know who literally every single person in town is, somehow.
-Overtime, ghosts and humans start to mingle here and there. Some ghosts are just chill and hang around like it’s no big deal. People pet the stray ghost cats. Little ghost blobs are everywhere and most of them are just cute or annoying.
-Everyone knows not to ask a ghost about their death.
-December is the slowest time of the year for ghost attacks because of the truce. (Even if it’s not Official Truce Hours people just get into the holiday spirit early.)
-To outsiders, everyone seems inexplicably fearless. Their sense of danger is skewed.
-People moving out of town is rare. One reason being it’s awkward to leave and then have to live around people who don’t believe in ghosts. And another reason may or may not be some subtle ghostly influence that makes you want to stay.
-Likewise, people don’t decide to move there very often. They might pass through, and laugh a little at how superstitious everyone is, but the place is too weird for them.

guys pls pls pls
i genuinely need people to realise that when they shift they will be the person they scripted.
when you shift you will live out those experiences and they will shape you out to be the person you are in that reality. that person is actually you
there’s nothing inherently wrong with scripting you had a specific sort of life that’s nothing like your own now. big or small chances idc but istg sm shifters make ocs instead of an actual person
but for a second think about it. is that smth you actually, genuinely, whole heartedly want for urself?
ur drself ≠ an oc
decided to edit this and add some more
why do some people talk about their drselves like it’s someone else and why do some people post stuff about them like they’re a character😭 like pookie that’s you😃😄😃 you know that right?
maybe it helps people figure out stuff ig? idk but i always talk about me like im talking about me? IDK if ur the kinds person who does this pls explain☹️ i would like a more rounded view on things pls and thxs
i always love when people are surprised that not only is the danny phantom phandom still around, but we're extremely active and are ranked in the top 15 most popular fandoms on this site.
like yes while we haven't gotten any new content in the better part of two decades, we still have an active year-round events calendar, we highly encourage and engage in crossovers with other media, we have phandom accepted non-canon characters with backstories, we've developed various opposite-of-canon AU's and HC's like the corpse au or the dual obsession au and have created almost entire ecosystems of content in these niches, we've delved into the physics and science of many of the canon materials, we value writing just as much as we value art, we're open to debate and friendly banter about different canon/phanon ideas, we've fully fleshed out various "hinted at" canon ideas like cores and given them "rules" that are widely accepted among phanon, etc etc.
at this point we've just fully embraced death of the author. like cool, thank you nickelodeon for giving us this world, we're just gonna take it and do our own thing with it for the next, say, 17 or so years. we'll get back to you in a few decades with some notes. u can take it or leave it, we don't really care. you know where to find us ✌️
discourse about batman's no-kill rule is so funny. imagine if a dude was like "i personally will not commit any murders and if any of my kids do i will be unhappy" and everyone booed him
cringe has no place in shifting.
do flowers grow/die beneath my feet depending on my emotions? YEAH! I THINK ITS NEAT!!
am i super overpowered with no balancing weaknesses? no i have balancing weaknesses bc i think its more fun that way but if you dont more power to you! literally!!
do i constantly script myself as mysterious and nonchalant? UH YEAH WHO DOESNT WANT TO BE COOL??
do i script myself completely taller than i am in my dr? yeah im really fucking short. (cr: 5'1 and dr: 6'1)
do what you want!! who tf cares abt this reality's sociatal standards

Amity Park has a local superhero.
He's great. He works hard to protect his town. That said, Amity's local hero is a teenager. The people he relies on to help and support him are teenagers. The town's superhero defense is a handful of kids figuring things out on their own.
They do good, but sometimes the people of Amity have to be prepared to lend a hand or hold their own for a bit. That's just how life is under these ceach other. Communities come together and support each other. It's fine. People adapt. Life goes on. They're really doing quite well.
A class from Amity Park visits a museum in Gotham on a field trip. They get caught in an unfortunately timed Scarecrow attack.
Scarecrow should have known better than to activate the fight or flight responses of a group of Amity Parkers.
The gas canister drops and discharges. The field trip group explodes into action.
A pair of Football players quickly overturns a table and use it as a shield as they charge the goons with the most firepower. Cheerleaders toss each other into the air for aerial attacks. Nerds turn objects from a nearby Janitor closet into a surprisingly effective trebuchet with astounding speed. One girl utilizes impressive martial arts skills.
A boy with Black hair and blue eyes flits about the battlefield pilfering and disassembling weapons with a shocking degree of efficiency as a Goth girl follows him around and bludgeon anyone who attempts to make a grab for him with a stand that had been holding up a rope barrier, and a boy in a beret lays down cover fire by launching pencils out of a makeshift bow formed from a binder and rubber bands with a startling degree of accuracy.
The teacher flits around pulling kids out of the path of attacks they hadn't seen, stowing any injured behind cover, and giving foes solid thwack on the noggin when the opportunity arises. He actually ends up knocking out Scarecrow himself.
The statement "We're not trapped in here with you. You're trapped in here with us," is repeated several times by different people.
When the Bats or police arrive, they have to carefully pull the feildtrip group off of the unfortunate rogues.
It takes a while to get the antidotes administered, but they do eventually manage. The class remains in defensive formation the whole time.
When the kids finally calm down enough to give statements, they mostly just say that Scarecrow gets what he gets for deliberately activating Amity Parkers' fight or flight responses. After the antidotes take effect, the class seems unfazed and goes about their business as soon as the authorities allow.
Some other visitors to the museum upload videos of the event online with titles like "the one class that was prepared for a field trip to Gotham" and "What kind of place is Amity Park, and why haven't I heard of it before?"
It doesn't take long for people to edit the videos to set the fight to music. Popular song choices include Ballroom Blitz, Bring 'em Out by Hawk Nelson, and the "we like to party" song from the six flags commercial.
Now the Bats are investigating Amity Park (and why they haven't heard of it before).
SUMMARY OF ALL THE LOA POSTS I EVER READ.
This is gonna be really vague 😭
1.) you can manifest anything and everything you want.
2.) there are no rules or things to do to manifest unless you assume it.
3.) you manifest/manifested anything you assume.
4.) just keep persisting until it materializes.
Did you know that between 1939 and 1941 the NYC Tax Administration and the Works Progress Administration collaborated to take photographs of nearly every building in all 5 boroughs of New York City? And that you can see these photos today thanks to NYC Municipal archiving? This is, obviously, amazing for hundreds of reasons. For the purposes of this post, it's fantastic because this is a very real address:
And when I put that address into the photo locator map, I get this:
Going from there, we can walk around the surrounding blocks via photographs. And if we assume that Steve and Bucky's pre-war apartment was fairly close to the Barnes', then these photos from 1939 to 1941 are a historically accurate trip to their neighborhood.
So, let's explore some pre-war Brooklyn. For your fic inspiration needs, your feelings, the general Stucky vibes, or just because:
160 State Street, bigger and without the map.
(If you ever feel like making the details of a fic incredibly historically accurate, there are so many real businesses to choose from in these photos.)
Like I said, there are pictures of nearly every building. This is just a small collection of the images I grabbed from the immediate blocks around 160 State. You can walk around the neighborhood in more detail, or anywhere else in 1939-1941 New York you want on the map I used.
I’ve often seen “Eldritch Danny” as like a fully inhuman form distinct from his humanoid ghost form. But what if that doesn’t happen?
What if he gradually looks less human but it never actually diverges into a separate monster form. He only has the one ghost form and one human form, both of which no longer look entirely human.
He may pass as one at first glance, but then an unsettling feeling prods at the back of your mind, whispering that there’s something wrong with him. Something uncanny. Your instincts scream at you to run, to not fall for this thing’s attempt to blend in.
But the thing is, Danny doesn’t know about any of this. The changes were gradual; all his friends and family in had plenty of time to get used to him. Yeah he’s a little freaky but he’s still just their dude. It’s kinda hard to be terrified of the dork you grew up with and often see infodumping about space.
So he’s just vibing while all the outsiders are glancing at him in mute terror.
Because to them? He reads as an eldritch monster pretending to be a human. They can tell he’s powerful but have no idea what he is or what his goals are. Heck, it sometimes feels like he’s playing with them, openly flaunting his inhuman aspects as if to say, “So what? What are you gonna do about it?”
