me, a normal danny phantom phan: you see, this is a joke because there are no normal danny phantom phans. we're all creating and engaging in fan content of a cartoon that ended 18 years ago. dissection fics are not only a thing, but they are a huge part of this phandom's fanfiction consumption. on my last fic, i had to make a tag called, "danny is actually having a good time (for once)" because i knew no one would believe the fluff tag by itself. we're so far gone that wes weston isn't just a thing, but a thing that people new to the phandom assume that they must have missed when they watched the show. along with that, valerie is never called the red huntress, and paulina's never called sanchez, but we've gaslighted everyone including ourselves into believing that these things are completely canon. whenever i see "phantom planet compliant" as a tag i get personally offended. like how dare you follow the canon ending of this nearly 21 year old tv show that i watch once every couple of years.
