Alright, so thanks to Walker in this episode, I’ve finally managed to settle on my headcanon ghost power levels. I do want to stress that this is entirely headcanon, and while I may use a few arguments here and there to show how I came to these conclusions, these aren’t definite. You can absolutely interpret things differently.
So here we go:

collection of posts for a very specific dynamic
I’ve been watching Danny Phantom and I get it. I get it now.
This show loves to make some offhanded comment, not a hint of consideration or concern in its tone, and just moves on without addressing it like that wasn’t the most creatively horrific concept this side of Nickelodeon. Shit makes up wackass lore on the spot and then disregards it immediately after, asks fascinating questions then looks at you funny when you try to answer them.
I now fully understand how this show has legions of fans dedicated to taking this somewhat mid cartoon and running so far with the implications of the premise they created an entirely different show that’s so much more interesting I’m upset it’s not real.
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!)
Videos taken in Amity Park tend to become corrupted once they leave Amity Park. The entire thing seems normal while you’re in Amity but once you leave the video warps and corrupts and gains a sort of Analog Horror vibe with sudden cuts to things that were never recorded, videos looping on random parts, random corruption and strange whispering heard throughout the entire thing. It gets worse if a ghost was caught on video before leaving Amity Park because their ghostly aura corrupts the video further, adding random connections to the ghost’s origin, obsession and core. (Example: a video that briefly caught Ember on camera may suddenly cut to scenes of a burning building, sometimes showing a figure resembling a living Ember trying (and failing) to escape the blaze. The video will also contain distorted singing and/or a ghostly voice begging the viewer not to forget about her.) A large amount of stores in Amity Park sell things to counteract this.
You get a similar effect if you set a radio or old tv to static and go near a ghost. Their aura will warp the static and create “Ghost Noises”. Every ghost creates different noises and you can usually figure out what ghost is nearby based on what noises you hear in the static.
If Ember is nearby the you’ll hear a mix of distorted singing and a crackling fire. It may also play music sung by Ember on occasion.
Technus’s presence generates morse code and noises that, when made into a spectrogram, show detailed blueprints for electrical machines invented in the late 1800s. The blueprints are extremely detailed and are all labeled “PROPERTY OF NICOLAI TECHNUS”. The machines range from radios to induction motors to something that looks like an early prototype of a computer with internet capabilities. Most machines have already been invented by other people, but the blueprints seen here are all dated years before those machines were invented.
If you’re listening while Skulker is nearby you’ll hear the sounds of machines wiring and inconsistent beeping. This is the suit giving off ectoplasmic signals and ghost noises as it moves around. Skulker himself is too small and weak for their ghost noises to be heard.
Spectra’s ghost noises sound like whispering. It’s impossible to make out what exactly the whispers are saying, but some have claimed that the whispers addressed them by name, mentioned their families or said things regarding their personal lives with frightening accuracy.
On the rare occasions that Sydney Poindexter is wandering around you’ll hear muffled sobbing. Faint whispering, similar to the noises of Spectra can also be heard in the background.
Youngblood’s ghost noises are mostly silent, but occasionally the very faint sounds of tires screeching followed by a crash can be heard.
Most animalistic ghosts (think Ectopuses, Shadow, Cujo, etc) create faint growling noises, usually the same kind of noises that the creature itself makes.
Johnny and Kitty sound like a mix of engines, tires screeching and gunshots. Faint growling, similar to the sound Shadow makes can also be heard on rare occasions.
The Box Ghost generates the sounds of heavy machinery. If you listen carefully, you can hear someone that sounds like the box ghost arguing with an unknown person in the background.
Phantom creates a noise that sounds like either ice cracking or electricity with extremely slowed screaming noises that, when sped up, sound exactly like Danny’s ghostly wail.
Plasmius creates the sound of acid sizzling as it dissolves something, along with the sounds of fire and extremely slowed down screaming.
The Fright Knight’s ghost noises aren’t like the other ghosts. While other ghost noises are partially obscured by static, The Fright Knight’s ghost noises are clear and unobscured by any static or outside interference, sounding like loud, maniacal laughter with the sounds of buildings crumbling, people screaming, and ghost speak as a constant chant plays In the background, detailing the horrors of the lord of the dead; King Pariah and how to summon him, along with the consequences of making a deal with him.
While no one has ever heard the ghost noises of the King himself, most items associated with him have their own ghost noises that most agree are pretty close to what he would have sounded like. They all sound like chanting. The chanting recalls tales of the ghost king’s cruelty and power. Those who listen quickly become drawn into it, eventually becoming fanatic worshipers of the King.
Clockwork creates the sound of a clock ticking.
Pandora’s ghost noises sound like war chants.
Nocturne creates no noise, but instead creates a sudden pause in the static and a strong feeling of sleepiness.
the reliance on others to guide your journey.

“i can’t shift. what should i do about it?”
you just admitted that you cannot shift, then asked how you can shift. those are two conflicting statements. if you don’t know how to shift — your body & what works / doesn’t work for you — how is somebody else, a stranger, supposed to know that ? you know yourself best. you are the only one who can help yourself.
⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚.
“i’ve been trying to shift & no method or routine works for me.”
this all boils down to something & that is the reliance on other people to tell you how to shift. i can give you everything that helps me; my books, my affirmations, my subliminals but at the end of the day that’s what helps me. information, that i have found through trial & error. everyone is different & not everything will help everyone. this is why not getting your heart set on one method or one way to do something is essential.
⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚.
during the peak of misinformation on shiftok, I don’t believe a lot of the misinformation was actual misinformation. people asked how to shift & people told them how they shifted & somewhere along they got misconstrued as a “how to” guide. if something helps you or doesn’t , it’s not misinformation. it’s a different way of doing things. think like doing math, there’s multiple ways to find the answer. people with learning disabilities (like myself) sometimes have to go the extra mile to have things make sense in our minds because not every mind is the same.
things take time, especially to perfect a craft. if you’re someone who draws or paints, you have to know the techniques & where to shade & where light hits the subject at certain points. if you’re someone who works out, you have to use certain equipment maybe or get into a habit of going to the gym. both of those take time & discipline. you don’t just pick up a pencil once & become one of the greats or walk on the treadmill for two minutes & instantly meet your desired result. it’s a routine.
no, you don’t have to have a routine but it’s beneficial. it can help hey you into a mindset, it can aid in your self confidence. if you’re confident, you will perform better. it gets you into a habit of something & making a habit out of something is the first step in being intentional & getting your mind & body into a mindset.

I just want to headcanon, that the Fenton's have a ethereal type of beauty, not sexy or hot. Ethereal, like if you didn't know that they're a family of Mad scientist, a obsessive therapist and a dead boy. they could've passed as deity's.
And the amity park's citizens can and will totally agree, they might've disagree and fight for a lot of things but the only thing they can agree on was the Fenton's was down to earth beautiful.
Like Jack Fenton for example, He has built that can seemingly bench you without any hesitation, but a himbo at heart, the greys of his hair compliments way it mixes with the black hair of his, if Jack isn't in his ghost hunting suit, he is pretty decent when it comes to his fashion sense, When Jazz first brought along her friends, the first thing they asked was if Jack was single, which caused Jazz to smack their heads individually with a newspaper.
And don't get me started with Madeline Fenton, because I cannot stop when it comes to her, My girl with her short straight Reddish-brown hair, looks like a masculine but also feminine beauty, Can and will bench you, if you have any ill intent towards her family, she came from a long line of riches if I say so myself. Tall as fuck, about 6'7 while Jack is 7'0. very elegant when it comes to fighting, that it looks like she's just dancing, Was titled as a Milf by Danny's classmate which made the boy groan in annoyance, Sam and Tucker calls out to Maddie and says "Mother is Mothering", just to get something out of Danny who looks at them with disgust knowing full well what they were trying to do. While Maddie is just happy for the kids to see her as a mother figure.
Now Jazz, My love, my girl. Her long Red hair that came down to her hips, and her blue eyes, made all the girls and boys in her college swoon, with her 6'4 figure she strutted down the halls with confidence, beauty and brains everyone would oh so called it, and her knowledge in martial arts didn't lessen her attractiveness, The humans and ghosts can agree with that delightfully.
And now her dearest sibling Danny, Danny is a nonbinary fuck that can gender envy anyone he meets, that's why he got bullied in the first place, he was too fucking beautiful and handsome at the same time, all the boys and girls of his school have atleast had a crush on him, He was the only cute boy there, what could they do? He stared at them with his icey colored eyes that made their legs tremble from the pressure, and that black hair that always seemed messy but in a good way. It didn't help when he got that lichtenberg scar, that ran up his neck and the side of his face. you should've seen him in P.E cause my guy got everyone staring at him.
And the Fenton family has fashion sense, if they really put their mind and soul into it, everytime they dressed up for a family reunion or just an outing it was a very sweet treat for everyone's eyes. like how it is right now.
The Amity parkers waved goodbye at the Fenton's as they went on and attended a gala they were invited to, it was supposedly because of the sudden rise and popularity of their works and how's it been helping the environment.
One citizen sighed as he looked at the car that family was driving as it slowly became smaller and smaller.
"You think they can handle Gotham, heard nasty thing bout that place." She questioned
"Girl, Gotham should be the one readying to handle them, that family may be beautiful, but their crazy." Her friend's answered
"well that does give them a more attractive look isn't it?"
"I hate how you're right."
The Gala the Fenton's went to certainly had an awkward atmosphere when they went inside, all the guest kept staring at them that it was starting to get creepy, did they overdress or underdressed, come on just walk towards start to talk or criticize them, because it's starting to get embarrassing for the family.
Gotham wasn't fucking prepared to meet the Fentons like as in, They had been awestrucked when the family walked in. A very tall man seemingly in his 40's with his hair gelled back, and a suit that fitted him too perfectly, gosh dang, even the homophobic guests couldn't help but stare, And then there was his Wife her straight her was curled and brushed out leaving a wavy effect that compliments her face shape, and that dress she was wearing was utterly gorgeous, fancy but also simple and mature, the heels certainly helped her height more and made her look more intimidating, The ladies blushed when she looks at them and smiles.
And don't get them started with the couples children, who looked adorable and elegant at the same time, The older sister had a aura that says: 'Im in your presence bow down' (And they would've if it was in a more private area due to the paparazzi's out the window). She wore a spaghetti strapped dress that had a slit on either side and was , making it more comfortable to move in for the girl, partnered by a white shawl made of silk, she had heels that also complimented he already tall stature, her hair was tied in a neat bun, with a few strands free to not make her face feel bare. And lastly the youngest everyone assumed, wearing a suit, double-breasted suit that was elegant and sophisticated it matched the way his hair is messed up for him to still look young, he was also wearing a black shawl that had specks of white making it look like stars. The family had a colour scheme of green, that made all gothamites present swoon, Including a certain family of bats.

today’s tarot reading: reality shifting advice
let go of your old reality and assumptions. if you want to shift then why are you procrastinating? make the goddamn decision cause it’s only an action just like the others, just like deciding to drink water. realise that you have the ability to shift realities, because you do for hell’s sake. focus on your emotions as if you’re already in your desired reality: what would you think and feel if you were already there? maybe you’re thinking about your crush, maybe you’re worrying for exams, maybe you’re having fun with your friends. immerse yourself in it. embrace transition. a new start is coming so prepare yourself, make a practical plan and persist.
go shift, your dr is waiting for you.
