your head will lie in dust

In trying to make logical design decisions, I ended up writing a bit of an AU for this!

He's an ambulatory wheelchair user- meaning he can feel and move his legs and he can stand, but not for long period and not without some balance issues. He uses a cane to stand.

I was going to draw his chair as having stickers, painted on stars, lights, and other decorations, but I figured Danny would probably keep the decorations pretty limited- mainly because he wants to keep a low profile. The iridescent film wrapped around the spokes and the crochet cover on the chairs back are as loud as I reckon he would want to be. This is absolutely NOT just because I didn't want to keep drawing stickers all over the chair consistently. Nope.

Here's the 3D model I made! It's not very detailed, I just needed it to use as a reference:

Some other AU details I thought of:

This AU is set when Danny is 16 and Jazz is 18. She drives him to school in the GAV because her car was too small to fit the chair into without phasing it in

In ghost form, he exclusively uses his spectral tail. Floating or flying with his legs isn't comfortable.

He keeps his thermos in the the hammock under the seat, but also stores a notebook full of outlandish stories he tells people when they ask how he became paralyzed. Sam comes up with the best fake stories. Iirc this is something that Garrett from Superstore does- don't quote me though.

His left side is worse/more painful than the right due to pushing the portal button with his left. He always uses the cane on his right side, and that's why it's stored on that side too.

The cane is stored sideways because it's length fits within the chair, and keeping it close by keeps it out of the way of others.

I didn't draw it clearly this way, but on top of there being spikes on the handlebars to prevent people from pushing him around, he'd also be able to remove the handles.

Danny picked the colours of yarn Jack used for the crochet.

Danny wears gloves to protect his hands from the wheels, and he bought his first pair. Sam bought him more, in a variety of colours- as well as an expensive wool lined pair for winter.

Danny wears long sleeves and gloves to hid lichtenberg figure scars on his arms.

Danny's hair is going white at the base of his head was, of course, inspired by izbubbles and tatumsdrawing

Tucker bought him the little hip bag/bum bag/fanny pack- whatever you want to call it- as a joke. Danny hates how useful he finds it.

He doesn't use his ability to float to help him stand or walk, it messes with his center of gravity too much and makes his balance issues worse

I'm not a mobility aid user, and while I tried to educate myself about mobility aids- how they're used, how/why certain chair features suit people's needs, etc- I am still learning.
