#stove on fire
You created a protagonist who’s just a little critter in a robe and wizard hat whose only visible features are a pair of glowing eyes peering out from the impenetrable shadows of their face, and then you gave them binary-gendered pronouns? Weak, bro.
it’s them, The Quizard…
Compilation of my more detailed backgrounds. Some days they bring me joy, some days they bring me pain. [Part 1 with more BGs]

It would seem Washcloth hasn’t inherited my affinity for pyromancy. It’s okay, he’s helping in other ways.

Teaching Washcloth how to do chores around the kitchen and the importance of naptime (it’s VERY important).

Ghost (Cow)boy Danny master-post for your ghostly cowpoke needs.
Full Cowboy au under the cut vvv (copy+pasted from my other post)
The Fentons run a classic little family farm that Jack inherited from his dad. He met Maddie at University and they decided to take over the farm’s operation when they graduated. FentonWorks is small and not heavily industrialized. They mainly harvest hay with a minor side hustle of beef & dairy. In the summer Jack and Maddie have less time to actively go ghost hunting and work on their inventions b/c running a farm takes A LOT of work. But hey, they’ve been at it for years and they’re still fanatics who will stop at nothing (also they earn quite a bit of passive income from their ‘normal’ patents).
It’s been a long time since they’ve worked on the Portal Project, which they keep out in the old barn. The kids used to be banned from the old barn (because of chemicals and big equipment of course). Now as a teen Danny A.) Doesn’t care about the rule anymore, and B.) Is old enough to “not get himself killed in a dumb old barn.”
TAKE A WILD GUESS WHAT HE DOES NEXT.
He’s in there with Sam and Tucker trying to find some “old stuff” when he moves a pile of junk and reveals the half finished portal. It’s big and hollow like a secret passageway built right into the wall. His parents never could get it to work but it still looks cool as heck. Sadly they never covered Interdimensional Portals in Farm Safety at school . So the obvious answer is to step inside and well, you know what they say about curiosity and cats….
RIP Danny’s normal human existence.
Miscellaneous Bits:
- Amity Park is located in Iowa or Kansas. Something with those spooky Midwest vibes idk American geography.
- Team Phantom are 16-17-ish.
- After Danny’s accident most of the farm animals treat him differently. The cats are having none of it, the cows don’t care, the horses were skittish and skeptical at first but have since stopped caring. And for some reason the chickens like him more now?? Then again, chickens are just like that. They can sense power…
- Tucker is a town kid. He and Danny spend a ton of time at Danny’s place running around outside and getting into all kinds of trouble together. Danny likes hanging out at Tucker’s house in town and enjoys the novelty of walking around town just to get snacks. Tucker loves the Fenton’s horses to death but the chickens do not respect him at all.
- Sam is still a rich kid but the thing her family is famous for inventing is more agriculturally based. She’s really into sustainability, sourcing locally, and encouraging native plant species. Big into using glass and wood over plastics. Danny and Tucker help her refurbish and sell old tools and furniture. She wants to turn it into a business one day. (This is why they were poking around in the Fenton’s barn the day of the accident.)
- They may live in the “bible belt” in this au but Sam is still Jewish. I feel the need to specify b/c I’ve seen fics that give Sam “Strict Christian Parents” and Western aus often have that stereotype.
- Jack and Maddie have one hard ghost hunting rule and that’s they only fuck with settler ghosts. Native ghosts and spirits are off limits. (The canon ghost “dream catcher” can go not exist please. The Ghost Catcher in this au is based on a butterfly net or fly swatter.)
- Danny’s main focus is small, local hauntings and helping people move on or find their way into the Zone, rather than big extravagant fights. Less ‘Superhero’ and more ‘Paranormal Slice-of-Life’. But when he does get into a tussle some poor farmer is going to be very confused as to how their field got ripped shreds overnight.
- Danny kind of gets a reputation for being a Medium/Psychic since he helps with hauntings, missing people, cold cases and finding old graves whenever he can (<- I saw this in a fic recently and I really enjoyed the idea so I’m including it. Shout out to Seasilver‘sA Proper Home)
- Vlad?? Exists??? Yeah. He more or less follows the same path as canon but with a western twist. He’s either an oil baron or decided to branch DALVco out into agriculture and owns a few mega farms.
- Maddie and Jack wear coveralls instead of hazmats. Same colours tho.
- Things that go bump in the night are not limited to just ghosts And Danny is definitely not at the top of the supernatural food chain (though he is up there).
If anyone wants to take these ideas a write something feel free to do so!
Respect nature, and if you can, source your food locally!
