I just took a shower and had like 2 dp ideas pop in my head so here's the first one
Danny's parents die (sorrows) so he ends up in foster care- BUT he gets adopted by agent k and agent o (Kevin and Oscar happily married for 5 years)
So danny is working even harder at hiding his identity despite his new parents being just as- if not more oblivious than the Fentons
All the while hes slowly changing their mind about ghosts
Like just imagine the chaos of Danny going "You cant shoot phantom! He promised to paint my nails on Tuesday! Pinky promised! You can't break a pinky promise" and it WORKS
Like agents k and o are a step up from the Fenton cus their house isn't booby trapped and they also aren't as neglectful despite hating ghosts and working for the government
So danny just trolls them with his nonsense as they actually form a family bond
Like these guys actually care for him and even if they're eccentric they're not openly telling him about experimenting on ghosts- in fact they keep their day job hidden from him
Sam and ticker are worried but the giw are known to be incompetent and theyre pretty sure that even if Danny detransforms into his human half in front of them they'd still think it was a prank or smth cus no way would their beloved child be a menace like phantom
IF ANYONE DECIDES TO WRITE THIS PLEASE TAG ME <3333
okay um . so i found this video of duff at a qna for his book a few years back where some guy starts being an asshole and like trying to harass him about knowing kurt cobain which is … what it is
BUT THE WAY DUFF RESPONDS ????? oml it has me WEAAAKKKK WATCH HIM SHOUT AT THIS FUCKING DUDE
I WOULD BE SCARED FOR MY LIFEEE IF SUCH A HUGE ASS DUDE LEANED OVER AND YELLED AT ME LIKE THAT oh my god duff is actually so intimidating
i'm going to get up on my soap box for a minute if y'all are cool with that.
top gun as a fandom has been many things and i've been getting the sense for a while now that it's starting to slow up since it hit a peak after tgm. and this is a natural life cycle for fandoms. to rise and fall with popularity. however i definitely think it's starting to go on the decline now (not me though, i can't get these idiots out of my head.)
i saw tgm exactly one month after i lost the horse that effectively saved my life in more than one way. it was a distraction and i had googled the plot of tg86 before hand. all i knew was there was some beach scene and tom cruise the scientologist had a face lift that you could see the scar in one scene.
i didn't even write top gun until just before whumptober in 2022 and even then it was more about bob than anyone else. but as we all now it soon consumed me (seriously just take a look at my ao3 for that past two years LMAO)
but top gun has given me many, many things. from people to talk too, to opening doors to myself i was going to keep shut for a long time. not to wax poetic or anything, but it's instigated a huge part of my life.
so whilst there's still people around, thank you for making top gun fanspace what it is today.
