If You Give A Bat A Burger doodles (again)

was preparing for exam and i got bored, sue me.

Been re-reading the fic lately,

thinking about cigarette uncle Milo and da boy, every moment they share together are 90% funny as hell

Danny, please, listen to Milo. He knows his shit when it comes to fleeing a scene.

What? You're saying he died because of similar reasons? seeing as you also died, you don't have much room to talk, Danny. Listen to ur ghostly parent slash PR manager. Go see the Doc.

If you see typos, no you didn't, geo is fun but not exactly easy, man.

'Get a knife'.

That had been the first advice Danny had been given upon his unceremonious arrival in Gotham. He hadn't heeded the advice; in his experience, his problems couldn't be stabbed.

He was kind of regretting his lack of follow-through now.

Standing about eight feet away from where he was seated on His Bench was a young woman, early twenties or so, red hair. She looked nervous. It was after dark in Gotham, after all.

Something told Danny that wasn't what had her anxiously shifting her feet.

She cleared her throat. "Excuse me. Are you, um. The Guy?"

"The guy?" He repeated.

Usually, people asking for 'a guy' in Gotham weren't looking for a teenage NASA enthusiast who maintained a casual relationship with being alive. In other words, he probably wasn't 'the guy' she was looking for.

He didn't want to find out what would happen when he wasn't. Unfortunately, he had a feeling he had little say in the matter.

Well. She wouldn't be able to hurt him too badly. Probably. But he liked this park; it would be a shame to have to abandon it because some drug dealer moved in and Danny didn't have a knife.

The Interloper seemed to steal her nerves, ignorant of Danny’s plight. "Yes, The Guy. He Who Speaks for the dead?"

Danny hid his surprise. Apparently, he was The Guy she was looking for.

Oh look, it’s another Jason and Danny Fenton :) Dedicated to noir-renard for her work If You Give a Bat a Burger (AO3: Cielle_Noire). 

Just a typical stressed-Jason while Danny being snarky as usual. Might do another version with background this time.

I stand by that Danny’s hair was the HARDEST for me to draw when trying to do it DC-style. Im kind of proud of myself for drawing this on GoodNotes5.

Been having some Thoughts on @noir-renard 's If You Give A Bat A Burger. Again. For the approx 150th time this week... heh...

ANYWAY

I've been thinking about our favorite infamous (?) mysterious mixologist Uncle Milo. And how much his funky & wholesome relationship with Danny has developed throughout the series. Guy is basically Danny's ghostly parent/PR manager by now...

Milo my guy, the Mixologist

He's a Morally Gray Weird Cigarette Uncle and I love him for it

A chiller Constantine, if you will.

I can feel that he's gonna be playing some super duper important roles in the future... (not that he isn't already... but still :)

We gettin there ÷)

Hi!

Okay, first of all. I LOVE your blog (particularly you Danny Phantom tags). I didn't know this Phandom exist until about a month ago? and I've been having a blast here.

That's and there this one thing. Do you know anything about Duck shaped candle in the Phandom? It's a Fanon thing, right?

I found them in some stories (usually DC x DP fic that have people summoning Phantom) and I just think it's really cute.

Hi, and welcome to the Phandom!

I'm glad you're having fun on my tumblr 💚 A lot of the content in my Danny Phantom tag is reblogged from other users who make excellent stuff (fanfic, art, meta etc) so I heartily recommend checking out the blogs of the original posters to find more things you might like.

Now, as for your duck-shaped conundrum, I think I can give you an answer. It is purely a fanon thing, coming from the DC Comics crossover (DP x DC) space. Specifically, I believe it originates with this story from @noir-renard:

If You Give a Bat a Burger Gen (non-romantic) | Case-fic | Currently updating Strange things are going on in Gotham: A series of crimes linked only by a sentence uttered. A drug that no one seems to be selling, but lots of people are taking. An old enemy reborn, or someone pretending to be him. Graffiti that can't be photographed by normal means. Bartenders disappearing without a trace. John Constantine is also there. Danny wants nothing to do with any of it. He just wants to sell burgers and survive. Actually, he'd like to go home again, but since that isn't possible, he'll stick with burgers. Gotham's vigilante's have other plans. This is why Danny doesn't do favors.

Detouring away from the ducks for a moment, this is a very good elseworld-style crossover fanfic. It has a more traditional spirits-magic-hauntings-psychopomps take on Danny Phantom lore than canon and they use it to create a really cool urban-fantasy mystery setting for the characters. (If you've encountered the Ben Aaronovitch Rivers of London novels, this has a similar general vibe and aesthetic).

Our duck-candle friend first appears in Chapter 1 of IYGaBaB, where a reluctant Danny has it very insistently gifted to him by an amateur occultist, and is then quick to re-gift it to an injured Red Hood. As of the most recent published chapter, the duck-candle is floating in a bowl of water on Jason's nightstand and the rest of the Batfam are giving it little hats. Apparently the candle wards away spirits if burned but no-one wants to light Dr Quack on fire just yet.

Fandom being fandom, people latched onto it as a cute and funny concept, and so began the proliferation of the Red Duck Candle through the DP x DC community.

(This kind of wide-spread fanon lore is not at all unusual for the DP fandom, where a good 50% or more of the most widely accepted concepts are fan-creations at any given time. Ghost Obsessions? Danny as King? Summoning Rituals? Liminality? Ghost Hunger? Ghost Nip? Wes? All fanon.)

As for where the recent boom in DP x DC content came from, I'm not sure. DP x Other Superhero crossovers have had a fandom for a long time (I started writing my own DP x DC crossover fanfic back in 2015, when Teen Titans Animated, Miraculous Ladybug, the Early MCU and the original run of Young Justice Animated episodes were dominating), but it's really ramped up in the last year. I know there are a couple of popular prompt blogs and apparently a DPxDC-focused discord running at the movement, but as for which came first (the duck or the egg, one might say) I have no idea.

Either way, hope you have fun!
