I somehow forgot to post this on DA! Shame on me! Time to rectify this mistake.
So I binged through the entire series of Danny Phantom recently, which was a wonderfully rewarding and nostalgic experience back to my high school days. And since I've been drawing ponies a lot lately for my ask blog, this was the natural(?) conclusion. XD I am definitely NOT the first person to do this particular ponification, but after looking around online, I think I may be the first to make both Danny’s normal and ghost forms earth ponies. My logic for this is that Danny Phantom is unusual specifically BECAUSE he looks like a normal kid but has ghostly powers. Plus ectoplasm isn’t unicorn magic so why WOULDN’T he still shoot it out of his hooves? And as cool as alicorn Danny would be, doesn’t really make sense for him to become an alicorn just because he got ghost powers; that would make the majority of ghosts alicorns, too. Vlad would totally be a Sombra-esque unicorn ghost, though (probably with alicorn envy).I’ve also seen versions where his fur itself is colored after his suit, but I like the idea of ponies still using hazmat suits. I made his ghost appearance still skin-toned because any other color made him look like one of the multicolored villain ghosts from the show, or even his own Ultimate Enemy form. Plus I wanted to make his normal pony form blue anyway, so the color inversion works. Tucker is also an earth pony because it just felt right — earth ponies feel synonymous for ‘normal’, which is mostly the show’s fault for not better emphasizing their powers of strength/endurance and ability to infuse life (i.e. growth magic). He almost got to be a unicorn due to his techie powers, but I didn’t want there to be two unicorns and one earth pony on the team because I have illogical hangups about party balance. And Sam is definitely a unicorn because she is smart and rich, which reminds me of the unicorn stereotypes in the show. Plus I couldn’t make her a pegasus because, as my friend stated emphatically, “Don’t you dare take that adorable Sam-flying-with-Danny scene away from us.” Also Sam got the Specter Deflector. She wears that a lot in the third season, actually, and it looks cool. Still haven’t quite figured out her cutie mark but I’ve seen a few online I really liked, such as a rose. Honestly, I could see this being canon in my Tumblr ask blog's AU. We already have internet and other technologies. Ghosts are, according to show creator Butch Hartman, “monsters from another dimension” rather than actually dead things, and we definitely have THOSE in MLP already. These kids just happen to live in a town where certain ponies (the Fetlocks) have been making advances in multidimensional bridging to study and fight the surreal monsters known collectively as “ghosts”, and they happen to mutate their kid. Also the ponies in this town really like wearing shirts. It’s a fashion thing.

Whaddya think, should I ponify more of the DP crew?

Danny Phantom belongs to Nickelodeon
My Little Pony belongs to Hasbro
