One Thing That’s Hilarious To Me Regarding DP Fic Crossovers With Other Superhero Media Is, While We

Another avenue I want to explore in an Amity Park is Weird scenario is all the niche sub-cultures going on.

There is absolutely NO WAY there isn't a thriving goth community in Amity Park. They're holding picnics every full moon. They're holding crafting sessions in their friends' basements. They're adopting ghost animals left and right: eight-legged dogs and blob-cats, skeletal fish and neon bearded dragons.

There's a young man called Raphael who performs live music every week at a dance club with his band: he's got a myriad of shiny piercings, and a phone camera roll full of his rabbits, Morningstar and Salem. Perhaps those ghosts are bad business like the Fentons say, but the club's never felt more alive.

The scene and emo kids are multiplying at a rapid rate. The punks and grunge folks are doing shit with textiles that makes every quilting grandmother in a five mile radius swoop in to pass on their skills. Josie and Betty, old friends who periodically upload photos online of their handmade lace, suddenly gain an influx of young folks who want to learn how to make their own ghoulish patterns.

There's a new group peeling off from the goths that dress like the embodiment of Halloween– all bones, pumpkin orange and lengths of costume jewelry.

The historical costuming community is alive and well in these times, and they fall upon the few ghosts from times past willing to share knowledge like starving wolves. Their minds are full of patterning-math and fabric prices, and their excitement is, quite literally, infectious.

A revolution starts up in food service: a great many restaurants closed or moved to follow the many people who left Amity after the ghosts first came. A pair of brothers open a restaurant that has the best Polish food around: people politely don't comment on how the owners are dressed in clothes a century out of date or how their eyes gleam. Two cat cafes open, one space themed and another with loose definitions of what counts as a "cat." Assorted coffee and tea shops dot the landscape: some serve donuts, some have cupcakes, and others have breakfast wraps, sandwiches or savory hand pies.

People that can't afford to open a restaurant sell food out of their homes, advertised by cardboard signs with phrases like CAKES FOR $10, and BARBEQUE RIBS FOR SALE painted on them in gigantic bright letters. High school students bring in bags of cookies they made the night before and completely sell out of stock before the day is done. One woman's house has no signage and yet is known by word of mouth to be a herbalist, selling tins of homemade tea blends, flowers, assorted plant clippings, and cough drops.

Someone down the street of Casper High sells small batches of eco-friendly soap at a nearby corner store.

During summer time, lemonade stands are everywhere. Some of the lemonade is made with the strange fruits from one of the parks: no one dies, so it's fine.

The Farmer's Market has gotten... intense.

Map of Amity Park

So I did a bunch of research and traced over the map the GIW had in DCMH and extended it to try and build a map of Amity Park. I also paid close attention to locations and places named in canon. I am by no means an artist, map maker, photoshop pro, or civil engineer; I just wanted a general reference map for the phandom to use. 

Here is where I place Amity Park. We know AP isn’t in Michigan or Wisconsin, but is most likely a day drive away from Madison (Bitter Reunions). AP is a decent sized city of itself, so I can see it being an outskirt of a large city like Chicago. Lancer mentions the Northwestern Testing, and Northwestern University is in Evanston, IL, which is why I placed it where it is.

Uncanny Danny

I’ve often seen “Eldritch Danny” as like a fully inhuman form distinct from his humanoid ghost form. But what if that doesn’t happen?

What if he gradually looks less human but it never actually diverges into a separate monster form. He only has the one ghost form and one human form, both of which no longer look entirely human.

He may pass as one at first glance, but then an unsettling feeling prods at the back of your mind, whispering that there’s something wrong with him. Something uncanny. Your instincts scream at you to run, to not fall for this thing’s attempt to blend in.

But the thing is, Danny doesn’t know about any of this. The changes were gradual; all his friends and family in had plenty of time to get used to him. Yeah he’s a little freaky but he’s still just their dude. It’s kinda hard to be terrified of the dork you grew up with and often see infodumping about space.

So he’s just vibing while all the outsiders are glancing at him in mute terror.

Because to them? He reads as an eldritch monster pretending to be a human. They can tell he’s powerful but have no idea what he is or what his goals are. Heck, it sometimes feels like he’s playing with them, openly flaunting his inhuman aspects as if to say, “So what? What are you gonna do about it?”

I think it would be fun to go online shopping for your DR. Don't actually spend the money, but visualize that you are shopping in your dr!

This is especially good if you script you have unlimited money!! 😀

Headcanons about Amity Park/Amity Park culture

 In no particular order.

-No one says the word “wish.” It’s practically a curse.

-Superstition is more common. Throw spilled salt over your shoulder. Don’t walk into a circle of mushrooms. Be extra careful on Friday the 13th. (Ghosts turned out to be real, so what else could be?)

-Halloween is chaos.

-Being awake at night isn’t seen as unusual. Being out and about after dark is risky. Wandering alone between the hours of 12-4 AM is asking for trouble.

-Horror movies? More like comedy movies.

-Same with ”paranormal investigation” shows.

-Crime rate is practically nonexistent.

-Everybody is close-knit.

-The Fenton family is a common topic for gossip. Everyone knows them, and they’re weird, even by Amity Park’s standards.

-People might have mixed feelings about the Fentons or the Red Huntress, but literally no one likes the GIW.

-Amity Park, on a physical level, is weird. The whole town is a liminal space. The ghost and mortal realms can bleed together. Time and space aren’t always 100% certain. 

-People are more sensitive to the paranormal. (They know how to tell the difference between a cold breeze and a ghostly chill, at least.)

-People know to tread carefully (politely) in places that are likely to be haunted. (Abandoned places, certain parts of the woods, etc.)

-Graveyards are given extra care and respect.

-Some common protocols for ghost attacks:

Public places like schools and office buildings have specific alarms for ghosts, like fire alarms.

They either evacuate (see: run for their lives), or turn on a ghost shield. (Some places may shield the entire building, or have a designated shelter area that everyone’s supposed to run to.)

If you can’t run or get behind a shield, find somewhere to hide and stay as still and silent as you can. If (when) the ghost finds you, scream as loud as you can so Phantom can hear you. If you have an anti-ghost weapon, use it.

“Wait for Phantom to take care of it” is usually what ends up happening. The ghost hunters might show up as well, but Phantom is there for almost every single attack. (Let’s be honest people just like him more and he does all the work around here anyway.)

-It’s common for people to carry weapons like small ecto-guns and mini shields on their person for self-defense.

-People learned to recognize the different ghosts that visit Amity. They know their names and which ones are the most dangerous and all that.

-Often, people watch how Phantom reacts to a ghost (whether or not he fights them, and how much effort he puts into it) to gauge how much of a threat they are. Sometimes people just ask him. He seems to know all the ghosts.

-Phantom also seems to know who literally every single person in town is, somehow.

-Overtime, ghosts and humans start to mingle here and there. Some ghosts are just chill and hang around like it’s no big deal. People pet the stray ghost cats. Little ghost blobs are everywhere and most of them are just cute or annoying.

-Everyone knows not to ask a ghost about their death.

-December is the slowest time of the year for ghost attacks because of the truce.  (Even if it’s not Official Truce Hours people just get into the holiday spirit early.)

-To outsiders, everyone seems inexplicably fearless. Their sense of danger is skewed.

-People moving out of town is rare. One reason being it’s awkward to leave and then have to live around people who don’t believe in ghosts. And another reason may or may not be some subtle ghostly influence that makes you want to stay.

-Likewise, people don’t decide to move there very often. They might pass through, and laugh a little at how superstitious everyone is, but the place is too weird for them.

(Feel free to discuss or add your own!)

if yall were as persistent about your own journey as you are about policing other people and their journeys, yall would have shifted by now.

Can teenage shifters please acknowledge the hypocrisy of them shifting to a reality where they're a married 30-something with kids one day, then to another reality where they're still 16 & dating another 16 yr old the next, only to complain about their maturity being affected when they return to this reality.... AND in the same breathe call shifters who are adults in this reality "predatory" for shifting to be and date highschoolers?

How can you say an adult ever shifting to be a teen again and date another teen is "predatory", but you reality hoping from adult-body livin' an adult life to teen-body livin' a teen-life is perfectly okay?

Seeing minors say "why are y'all hating on minors who script in sex? Teens get horny too🫤" is so fucking funny because if you can hoe-it-up for your 50 year old sugar daddy in one reality AND your 16 year old highschool sweetheart in another, then why do you get so mad if an adult shifter wants to be young and experience young love again😭💀⁉️

"It's disgusting for an adult to share details about their teenage love in their dr" AND SO IS MINORS TALKING ABOUT ANY ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH AN ADULT IN THEIR DR THAT INSINUATES THEM HAVING SEX, BUT YOU SEEM TO HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT💀‼️

"Even if they're a teen in their DR, if they have a teenage love interest, that means that in this reality, they're attracted to minors🤢", you don't seem to apply that logic to instances where you shift immediately from your adult avengers dr to a hogwarts dr now do you🤨?

Istg, 9 times out of 10, the NSFW idea videos on shifttok are made by minors too but no one seems to gaf about that😭

My point being, teenage shifters are the biggest hypocrites in the community. The bias you have towards yourselves is insane. Everytime I see a bitch say "Take breaks from shifting!! Don't rush :) ", I can't help but think about the fact that underneath the encouragement, you're belief that minor-aged shifters can shift to be any age implies the need to pressurize yourself to shift before you're an adult in this reality, otherwise experiencing young love will become nothing but a "pedophilic" fantasy in the eyes of the wider community💀
