I keep adding songs to my dp playlist for very specific amvs I construct in my head (as you do)
this is an old concept I built forever ago but this song drew it back out of me, and I want to revisit it
imagine if you will, Void Danny from Reverse Trio AU, in a timeline where the Phantom of his world (in this specific scenario it's Tucker) did not succeed and was killed by Nocturn
Nocturn at the height of his power is able to use his foot in the dream realm to clip through space, aka he can make portals, at first he just uses them to spread across the world, he teaches Danny to do the same
one day he lets slip that he can make portals to other alternate universes, and that when they are finished feeding on this world, they will move to another
at this point, with Nocturn growing overconfident and complacent, his grip on Danny's mind starts to slip, Danny starts to miss his friends, he starts to regret what they've done
in a moment of gathered willpower he decides to open a portal to a world where his friends are still alive, but midway through he hesitates, what will they think of him? he killed them after all, wouldn't they hate him? wouldn't they think he was a monster? he desperately wants to see them but he can't bare to have them see him this way
the portal opens, but it opens to a world of lush green leaves, a huge tree with a girl sitting beneath it, she has her hand on the trunk, she's crying
he recognises her
the portal had found a version of his friend who would not hate or judge him for what he had done, it found a version of his friend who was just like him
he speaks to this Sam and she tells him that he can't be here, that she killed him, his body was beneath this tree, Danny was her Phantom
he tells her where he is from, that he's escaped to find the friends he lost, he says she's not the Sam he knew, but she's clearly a Sam who regrets as he regrets, who wants what he wants, he reaches out his hand and asks her to come with him, they still have one friend left to find
she takes his hand
he opens another portal, this time to an Amity buried in sand, there's a boy holding a golden staff, he stares out over the buried ruins of the city, the grave of his friends and family, one he had dug himself with the whispers of Hotep Ra in his ear and the memories of an ancient king piloting his body, Sam was his Phantom
Danny and Sam reach out, they tell him to come with them, they'll find a new home together, in a world where none of them exist, a world that none of them have broken
he takes their hands
from here they can go anywhere, to any universe, to find a place for themselves where they are away from the influences that changed them, they are still monsters, in their own ways, with powers granted to them by those who changed them
Danny cannot survive without feeding off dreams, he roams through the dream realm every night, giving people pleasant dreams but leaving them tired and drained come morning
but he thinks perhaps if he feeds lightly, takes just enough energy from just enough people, if he makes sure to feed from different people every night, perhaps he won't need to cause anyone harm
Sam needs sunshine and soil to thrive, but she still has no sympathy for the humans who destroy nature, dragging anyone who threatens her into the ground with her roots
but maybe she can use her powers for something more, rejuvenate the land she walks on, find and connect with humans who want what she wants, they're out there, she knows, she used to be one of them
Tucker uses his magic to survive, to steal food and clothes and shelter for them all, he may have left his kingdom but he is still a king, why shouldn't he take whatever he wants? who are they to tell him no? he could crush them like bugs in his fist, they were only peasants
but does he need to kill them? can't he just take what he needs and make them forget? he has killed so many already, and for what? an empty desolate kingdom? he left that place for a reason
as the influence of their manipulators wanes, the people they once were slowly return to them, they will never be the same, they have been changed far too much, but they are together, and together they remember how to be people again, not quite the people they all once knew, but close enough to count
but eventually their guardians will notice they are missing, Nocturn will follow a trail through dimensions, he will meet others whose wards have disappeared, they will come looking for their disobedient runaway children, and they will destroy whatever lies in their path to get them back

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now but here’s an eldritch au version of Undergrowth. I wanted to make him look more like an ancient sage, deity, or guardian spirit of the forest. Not sure who I was talking to about this but I like the idea that Sam just so happened to find Undergrowth, who had fallen dormant for centuries, and she replanted his core. Aka the seedling he had reverted to...
He saw firsthand how much Sam loves plants so Undergrowth in turn came to care for and see Sam as a daughter. And once he regained his strength Undergrowth decided to give her powers over plant life in order to strike back at the creatures of the ‘modern world’ that were needlessly killing his beloved plants in the name of progress. Unlike the original though, Undergrowth may have a strong distaste for humans, but he’s in no rush to take over just yet because in the end all life will return to the earth from whence it came.
He’ll definitely lash out at anyone who is blatantly cruel or destructive to any plant or animal under his protection, including Sam. Plus Undergrowth would definitely get carried away after finding out exactly who bulldozed the piece of land he came from which means Vlad would be in for a sound thrashing. This Undergrowth has sense enough not to blame ALL humans for the crimes of one since Sam showed him there’s still hope left for these dangerous beasts, however, it might take them a few tries to calm his rage so he doesn’t turn Amity Park into a jungle since he’s still got a bad temper...
And lastly, I think it’d be cool to make this version a reluctant ally that only bothers to help Danny and the gang from time to time when things get REALLY bad because it’s what Sam wants and Undergrowth owes her a debt for basically resurrecting him. Sometimes though he’s sorely tempted to take her away from the city so she can enjoy building a new garden with him for them to thrive in for the rest of eternity, far from the troubles of this world, but for now, he’s content simply to watch Sam grow.
Original Undergrowth:
Plant Sam:
