consider the following--

the first series of warriors (the prophecy begins): published 2003-2004

the second series of warriors (the new prophecy): published 2005-2005

the hunger games: published 2008

catching fire: published 2009

in the first series of warriors, the clans are living in the original forest setting. guess where the 74th hunger games (first book) took place? a forest.

the second series of warriors covers the clans' migration to the lake setting. guess where the 75th hunger games took place? AT A LAKE.

since thg was published after warriors, i believe it is entirely possible for the hunger games to have been inspired by the settings of warrior cats.

but wait--there's more!!

the 74th games end when the mutt-dogs attacked at the cornucopia. in the first series of warriors, bluestar's death is caused by tigerstar's dogs.

imagine danny got caught in the dcu for whatever reason--dealer's choice (botched summoning, escape after bad reveal, natural portal, etc). bonus points if it's gotham.

he does some research (if it's a different dimension) and discovers metahumans (wow! random people can just have powers now??)

he decides he can't tell anyone he's a ghost for whatever reason, and instead has to choose a power. he settles on intangibility because it would help in self-defense purposes (gotham strikes again).

he's gotten used to using his powers freely, though, and maybe a Bat sees him fly. his excuse? "i'm a meta and i can become intangible. that includes intangibility to gravity."

he uses this excuse for as many powers as possible. invisibility? intangibility to light waves. portal-making (if applicable)? intangibility to the fabric of reality. seeing/sensing ghosts? intangibility to the boundaries between life and death.

he just keeps using wilder and wilder explanations, and when anyone asks how the hell that works, he just shrugs and says "i have intangibility and everything else is just an extension. doesn't have to make sense to you."

maybe he ends up on the justice league's radar for some random meta that could probably go toe-to-toe with most of the league's heavy-hitters.

i've seen so many posts recently complaining about danny phantom crossovers. not just on tumblr--also on tiktok and other platforms.

this is ridiculous. nobody is forcing you to engage with dp content and it is incredibly easy to filter it out.

on ao3--go to the sidebar, scroll to 'exclude', then 'fandoms', then 'danny phantom'. it's that easy.

there is literally no reason you should be putting down perfectly good fics and posts just because you don't like the crossover.

if you don't like the fact that there aren't enough non-crossover fics in your fandom? consider writing one.

instead of haunting boxes like the box ghost, he spring up around chemical beakers and random scientists. maybe he gets a job at osha, or at nasa testing space rocks or something. imagine the possibilities

"that's why lab safety is important, kids!"
