Nerd Paradise

It turns out that Vlad is just as eccentric as the couple, his just better at hiding from public. So after that welcome, Vlad and the Fenton couple catch up with each other while he shows the family around the castle. Vlad isn't aggressive to Jack (he's just as happy to see Jack) but Danny can still sense ghosts lingering around so his a little bit suspicious.

So when night rolls around, Danny turns into his ghost form and starts scouting the area about. He sees the vultures (who are annoyed to see him), but it seems to be more or less empty. Right until Plasmius reveals himself, annoyed that another ghost is in his territory. They get into an alteration, and of course Plasmius comes out on top, knocking out Danny. Once Danny wakes up, he is back in bed and Vlad is sitting in a nearby chair waiting for him to wake up.

It turns out Vlad is the ghost Danny just fought, but Vlad thought he was trespassing which was why he attacked him. They swap stories and Danny learns how Vlad became a half ghost as well as why he never told Jack and Maddie about it (apart from the whole ghost hunter thing). It turns out that Vlad met the GIW very early on and he had figured out that their not above using human hostages to get what they want.

If I told you, you know how to go and break my heart in two~!

I got sick AGAIN.

No art for me for almost 2 weeks :(

BUT I AM ALMOST GOOD AGAIN AND IVE BEEN ITCHING TO DRAW

So have my lil Ramen danny doodle from magma in the drawgether today 👉👈

(TW: Gore, Blood, not sure if there are other triggers so someone tell me and I’ll edit it)

Danny had always had a deep kernel of belief that his parents would accept him as Phantom. However that kernel was quite deep and covered by anxiety and paranoia. After all, they even sometimes worked with ghosts when the time came for it! He had even tried to tell them more than once, though his nervousness and the constant interruptions meant he hadn’t managed that yet.

So when his parents declared they were going to Gotham because of ghost rumors, Danny was dragged along and disgruntled because Gotham, while have higher ecto levels, was no where near enough to hide his ecto-signature when in ghost form.

Of course, nothing could have prepared him for what would happen 3 days into their stay. A fuzzy thought tickled the back of his mind as he stared in shock. ‘Did I really believe that they would change? Or was I just in denial?’

Pa Kent: Good morning Alfred. Are you busy today? Ma and I are in Gotham for that fancy art gallery Clark is writing about. Did you have some time to meet us for lunch before the event?

Alfred: Oh, sorry, Pa, unfortunately, I have my hands full with the latest shenanigans of the children.

Pa: Oh? What happened?

Alfred: Master Dick, has discovered he is a father.

Pa shocked: Dick has kids?

Alfred: Yes, we believe they're from the same place as Mister Bart Allen.

Pa: Oh. That makes sense. How is Dick handling everything?

Alfred: Very well. He's ecstatic to be a father. It's his children who are....reluctant.

Pa: What do you mean?

Alfred: Hold on. Let me send you a picture of the children when Master Dick told them he was thier father.

Danny/Dan/Dani:

Pa: Well....they certainly resemble Dick. He looked the same when I asked him to help me birth a calf. How old are they?

Alfred: Master Dan is the oldest; he's twelve. Master Daniel is the middle one at ten, and Miss Danielle is the youngest at eight. They're sweet children, but they do not seem interested in being brought into the Waynes' home. They've negotiated with Master Bruce to get them rooms at the most expensive hotel in Gotham, in exchange for not running away. It took us months to even corner them.

Pa: Wow that sounds so stressful. I understand that your busy we could reschedule-

Ma taking the phone: Alfred, let Dick handle his kids. You deserve a day off. Join us for lunch, wine and dine at the art gallery with us and if the night goes well, let us get you naked between us.

Pa scandalized in the background: That's too forward!

Alfred: What time and where are we doing lunch?

Bruce sitting across from Alfred and overheard everything: Now Clark will know the pain of the butler dating one's parents. Let's see him laugh now. I hope he suffers.

Some random art of Danny, Dani and Dan hiding under Johns coat. Idk why I made it, just the AU of the three ghosts getting taken by Constantine was so cool for me that I decided to make some art.

“Alright, Miss Tayonna, it is time for bed. Tomorrow we will be going back to Minnesota. Danielle will be leaving with Daniel, as I stupidly agreed to let her go on vacation with him. Hopefully, Jasmine will keep them all in line. So once again it will be you and me.” Vlad yawns then nods before heading out of the room.

“You’re a good father.” Tayonna blurts out. Vlad was sure that if he turned around any faster, he would be dizzy.

“T-Thank you.” Vlad nodded, unsure where this was coming from.

“She loves you.”

Tayonna pushed her legs from under her and rose from the couch, turning into her ghost form.

“If that means anything,” Tayonna whispers, biting her lip and looking away. She knew she shouldn’t reveal someone else’s feelings. But her mind told her he needed to hear it. Her core said he needed to know.

“It does, thank you.” Vlad swallowed hard.

Tayonna nods and floats out of the room, and Vlads hurried away to do his nightly routine. His mind and heart were racing, unaware of the tears trying desperately not to fall down his face. He felt...Happiness.

Chapters: 2/2 Fandom: Danny Phantom, Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)

Eva Stratt receives an email from a student at an American Ivy-league school with the subject line “Ecto-Entities”.

Dear Eva Stratt, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing because I know of a resource that could be incredibly beneficial, possibly even crucial to your mission: Danny Phantom.

Danny eating things he shouldn’t.

I feel like he’d be like one of those pets you’d have to pry their mouths open because he’s just so determined to eat it.

Ghost baby. Baby learns about the world by putting things in it mouth. It’s self-explanatory really. He’s eaten ectoplasm before so he’d probably think this is practically harmless in comparison.

Plus, it’s eco-friendly. Why just eat the chocolate bar when you could eat it with the wrapper. He’s being 100% efficient by eating his trash. No evidence and cleaning up after himself at the same time.

He’s able to digest almost anything because of his ectoplasm anyway, it’d be a shame not to take advantage of it.

Anyways, first incident? When Tim take’s Danny to go eat sushi, he just takes a bite of his chopsticks while eating a peice, they just get shorter and shorter until eventually he’s done. Tim watched in horrified silence, not really stopping Danny, wondering if he really didn’t notice he was eating his…utencils. At the end Danny just finished off the last piece of chopstick, no sushi.

Tim thinks it’s just wise not to say anything to his face but to instead bring this information to the cave, because who else is he supposed to talk to about what he witnessed??

Dick is the type to immedietly launch himself at Danny, holding his jaw and futily trying to pry his jaw open to stick his fingers down his mouth, panicking. Cause why is Danny eating an entire cup of plastic?? Spit it out!!! NO BAAAAD

I feel like Jason would be less willing to jump in but would reluctantly pry Danny’s mouth open if asked as one of his siblings does the routine of trying to fish something out of his mouth. It was metal once, took a bite out of it like a piece of hard sugar, there was a crunch and everything. Eventually though Jason would work up to just full on tackling Danny as soon as he chomps down on not food.

Cass just jabs two fingers violently to Danny’s stomach till he coughs it out himself. Steph coming up with a list of ‘things Danny has eaten’ and a ‘things I predict Danny will eat’, sometimes she’ll jump in on the fun of physically restraining Danny so they can get something out of his mouth, she can practice her headlock cause damn is he wiggly.

Damian is absolutely handing Danny things to eat when they’re alone, like just presenting something to him without saying anything. Once had him eat toxic paint (dolloped on the plate like a gorumat dish) and had him describe how it tasted—having Danny try all the animals' pets food to make sure they were satisfactory enough for each animal.

Duke wants no part in this, and by that he means he slides Danny his trash to do what he want’s with it because he just doesn’t want to put his hand down his throat… sometimes it’s just better to know whose trash he’s eating. Duke lies and say’s Danny snatches it from his hands.

Alfred can’t stop Danny, god knows anyone can, he supplements this by feeding Danny nonstop so he has no chance to even reach for something non-edible to eat.
