open/close all folders

In General

Adaptational Jerkass:
- Sam's Clingy Jealous Girl tendencies are more noticeable here than in canon.
- Clover. In canon, she always slightly disliked nerds and was a little shallow. In TMDDF: Danny Chooses Alex After the Many Dates, she's meaner and more vocal about her dislike, openly looking down on nerds.
- TMDDF: After The Many Dates with Danny and Penny: In canon, Bonnie was, even if reluctantly, grateful to Ron for saving her and the other cheerleaders from Gill. In this fic's Ben and Kim-focused adaptation, she blames Ron for the incident and says his girlfriend Tara should leave the cheer squad for dating a loser.
Adaptational Nice Guy:
- In Parallel Sailor Moon, the daughters of Makoto and Ami were both rather bratty and openly disrespectful. In The Many Kids of Danny Fenton, likely due to who their fathers are, Mako Fenton and Amy "Ami Jr." Tennyson are both nice and respectful.
- TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Kitty: Thanks to Clockwork's meddling (because he was tired of seeing Sam become a Clingy Jealous Girl and strain her friendship with Danny in various other timelines), Sam is introduced to Barry from How I Met Your Mother, who talks her into being a supportive friend towards Danny's relationship with Kitty.
- Clover is slightly nicer in TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Felicia than she was in "TMDDF: Danny Chooses Alex After The Many Dates". Clover slightly disapproved of Alex dating Danny at first, mainly because he was not into sports like Alex, and tried to set her friend up with a jock despite their relationship. She did nothing when the jock tried to attack Danny when Alex rejected him. Though to Clover's credit according to the story's author, the reason for her inaction was that her then-boyfriend Dash stopped the attack for practical reasons. She grows more accepting of the relationship when Alex makes it clear that she likes Danny. In Danny and Felicia, when Clover sees Dash attacking Danny, she doesn’t hesitate to defend him, help Danny up, and reject Dash despite his popularity and good looks. She makes it clear that despite her shallowness, she would never date a bully.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul:
- The Many Dates of Danny Fenton:
  - Regardless of who Danny chooses as his perfect match, his relationship with Sam never becomes romantic.
  - For Danny to be on dates with Gwen Tennyson and Violet Parr, they have either broken up with their respective boyfriends or haven’t officially gotten together with them.
  - For Danny to be married to Kim Possible, her canon relationship with Ron never blossomed into romance.
- Tucker Foley and Velma Dinkley are in a relationship in all the other stories. In TMDDF: Danny Chooses Alex After the Many Dates, Tucker does not get together with Velma because he doesn’t want to pursue a long-distance relationship.
- TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Kitty: Instead of ending up with their respective canon love interests, Jake Long and Sabrina Spellman end up with each other.
- TMDDF: After the Many Dates: Danny and Wendy: In canon, Robbie ends up with Tambry. When this reality is featured in Danny and Kitty, it's revealed he ends up with Sam instead.
Age-Gap Romance:
- In The Many Dates of Danny Fenton, not every girl Danny dates is 14 like him. Some are at least a year younger than him ^note, while other girls are as old as 16. However, neither Danny nor any of the girls have a problem with their date being younger or older than they are.
- TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Jen: Downplayed as Jen is 16 and is dating Danny, who is 14. Both Danny's sister and Jen's friends are surprised.
- TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Felicia: Downplayed as Felicia is 16 and is dating Danny, who is 14.
- TMDDF: After the Many Dates Danny and Gwen TDI: Downplayed, as Gwen is 16 while Danny is 14.
Clingy Jealous Girl:
- The Many Dates of Danny Fenton:
  - Valerie shows jealousy towards Felicia when she sees her on a date with Danny.
  - Meg to Tucker and Katie to Danny, to stalker levels.
  - Dipper becomes a Clingy, Jealous Guy when Wendy goes out with Danny. He hopes to prove Danny is some kind of beast, partly so Wendy will stay away.
  - "Blooper" has Sam interrupting a scene and kissing Danny out of jealousy, much to Sabrina and the Director's annoyance.
  - In the ending where Danny chooses her, Felicia/Black Cat becomes this towards him.
- TMDDF: Danny and Kara:
  - Sam, as usual, sees any other girl who likes Danny as a threat and ignores all evidence to the contrary.
  - Kara thankfully averts this for the most part, feeling secure in her relationship with Danny. She even took it fairly well after meeting Kitty Pryde and finding out that she and Danny kissed, accepting that it was BEFORE they started dating and being cool with it. However, Kara did "playfully" threaten to throw Danny into a black hole if she found out he kissed someone else WHILE they were dating.
- In TMDDF: Danny Chooses Alex After the Many Dates, Alex has been shown to have little tolerance towards another girl expressing any interest in Danny, especially Mandy, whom she gave a black eye to for hitting on him behind her back.
- TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Phantasma: Even though they're dating, Phantasma is a bit too clingy with Danny.
- TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Kitty:
  - In Chapter 8, Sam meets someone who talks her out of that mentality. Clockwork is the one who sets events to make them meet.
  - Just like in the original story, Katie is still in love with Danny, and she does not take the fact that he is dating Kitty well AT ALL. Though she does try to get over Danny later in the story, an obsessive split personality she's developed thanks to an emotional modulator mixing with her powers prevents her from doing so.
- TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Starfire: Robin wasn't fond to hear Starfire was taken with her last date.
- TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Katie: Katie spent years being jealous whenever Danny had a girlfriend, particularly Kitty Pryde.
- TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Spectra: Spectra has shades of this, particularly around Sam and Wendy, but the latter ends up becoming her friend.
Shallow Judge of Character:
- Sam, despite her professed dislike of shallow people, can be shallow herself when judging Danny's girlfriends. Thankfully, she always comes around.
  - In TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Kim, Sam assumes that Kim is an Alpha Bitch and a Brainless Beauty simply because she's a cheerleader. After learning that Kim is a straight-A student, Sam just assumes that Kim offered to date boys in exchange for doing her homework. This accusation causes Kim to give her a tongue-lashing, pointing out how hypocritical she is.
  - In TMDDF: After Many Dates: Danny and Felicia, Sam accuses assumes that Felicia Hardy is a Brainless Beauty due to being an extremely attractive Dude Magnet. She changes her mind when she sees how intelligent Felicia is for herself.
- In TMDDF: Danny Chooses Alex After the Many Dates, Dash and Kwan end up ruining their double date with Samantha and Clover because of their shallowness. When they learn that Samantha plans to become a journalist, they are surprised because they believe that pretty girls aren't supposed to be smart, which naturally offends the two girls.

The Many Dates of Danny Fenton

Accidental Kiss: Between Danny and Sabrina, in the chapter "A BeWITCHing Evening".
Action Girl: A lot of the girls Danny goes out with either have powers, are secret heroes, or Badass Normals.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul:
- Regardless of who Danny chooses as his perfect match, his relationship with Sam never becomes romantic.
- For Danny to be on dates with Gwen Tennyson and Violet Parr, they are either broken up with their respective boyfriends or they just haven’t officially gotten together with them.
- For Danny to be married to Kim Possible, her canon relationship with Ron never blossomed into romance.
Adaptation Species Change: Katie Kaboom's transformations were never given an explanation in Animaniacs, only meant to be a joke on No Periods, Period. Here, it's suggested she's a mutant, like the X-Men.
Adults Are Useless: Katie's parents are helpless to stop her transformations. Later subverted, however, when it's revealed that they are trying to help her get control of her powers.
Affably Evil: Cree at the start of her date, though she drops the Affably part after Danny dumps her upon discovering her Child Hater nature.
Affectionate Nickname:
- While not really nicknames, Danny and Sabrina seem partial to calling each other "Mr. Phantom" and "Ms. Spellman".
- Phantasma insists on her nickname of "Phanty".
- Katie Kaboom seems fond of calling Danny "Pookie Bear", much to his dismay.
- Danny and Kara's daughter Alura is nicknamed "Ally".

- Danny and Kitty's daughter Madeline is nicknamed "Madge".
- Danny and Phantasma's son Eidolonius is nicknamed "Eddie".
- Danny and Kim's daughter Anne is lovingly called "Annie" or "Annie-Bear".
Age-Gap Romance: Not every girl Danny dates is 14 like him. Some are at least a year younger than him ^note, while other girls are as old as 16. However, neither Danny nor any of the girls have a problem with their date being younger or older than they are.
Amazon Chaser: Danny seems to be the most attracted to girls who are also super-powered or have hero double lives.
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Defied. According to Musa, she had a thing for bad boys but is now interested in meeting a Nice Guy that she can get along with.
All Women Are Lustful: Seems to be Katie Kaboom's biggest flaw aside from her temper, much to Danny's dismay. To clarify, in her second encounter with Danny, she spends the entire day clinging to him, smothering him with hugs and kisses, and according to Danny, she once played footsie with him when they had lunch together. She also seems to be unaware of the fact that her affections are unwanted.
And I'm the Queen of Sheba: Not believing Dipper's claim that there's nothing wrong, Danny says, "Yeah, and I'm a blonde...".
And This Is for...: Alex shouts, "This is for ruining my date!" while trying to punch Tim Scam, who dodges, activates a gadget, and retorts, "And this is for getting on my nerves!".
Artistic License: Obviously, it would be difficult for Danny to go out with Violet Parr (as The Incredibles takes place in the '60s) or Jenny Wakeman (as My Life as a Teenage Robot is set 20 Minutes into the Future compared to Danny Phantom being set in modern times, or at least the mid 2000's). The author even admits to taking creative liberties.
Ascended Fanboy: In the ending where Danny picks Kara, he is revealed to be a huge fan of Superman and the Justice League and ends up joining them in the future. He even becomes the cousin-in-law of his idol, The Man Of Steel.
Attractive Bent Species: Downplayed, but Starfire admits that Danny's ghost form reminds her of her fellow Tamaranians. She likely finds him attractive in this form.
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other:
- As much as Katie's family fears her, after Danny yelled at her, they looked visibly concerned and tried to comfort her.
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Penny Proud, Suga Mama's stated to have passed away about six months after they got married. Despite how tense their relationship was, Oscar gave his mother a touching eulogy at her funeral.
Babies Ever After:
- Danny's nightmare after unintentionally running into Katie Kaboom features them getting married and having 8 daughters who are just like their mother.
- The epilogue shows Danny and Kara married and with two kids, a daughter named Alura "Ally" Madeline Fenton and a younger son named Jackie "Clark" Fenton.
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Sabrina, they have a daughter named Tabitha Samantha "Tabbi" Fenton.
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Kitty, they have a son named Peter Charles Fenton and a daughter named Madeline "Madge" Ororo Fenton.
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Musa, they have a daughter named Matlin.
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Phantasma, they have a son named Eidolonius "Eddie" Phantom.
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Kim, they have a daughter named Anne "Annie" Madeline Fenton.
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Makoto/Lita, they have a daughter named Mako.
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Felicia, they have a son named Felix Peter Fenton and a daughter named Felicity Lydia Fenton.
- The alternate ending with Penny Proud starts with them childless, but she eventually reveals to Danny that she's pregnant—they decide to name the baby either Neil Martin Fenton if it's a boy or Josephine Rhea Fenton if it's a girl (while also calling her "Josie" as a nickname).
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Alex, they have a son named Oliver "Ollie" Jackson Fenton and a daughter named Daisy Fenton.
- Katie's fantasy in the alternate ending where Danny is still single has them with twins named Callie and DJ.
Bad Date: A Running Gag is that each of Tucker's dates wind up being this due to his misleading profile.
- Danny did end up going on a few of them, 3-4, it seems.
Battle Couple: During the times both Danny and the girl he goes out with discover each other's identity, they will team up to take down whichever villain appears to spoil their date.
Because You Were Nice to Me:
- The girls who have issues grow interested in Danny because he's not giving them trouble and acts considerate to them.
- A platonic example would be Buttons. After Danny stands up for him against the typical ungratefulness of his owners, the large dog becomes friends with Danny and later tries to help him against Katie at the carnival.
- The mime from Animaniacs is so used to bad things happening to him that, because Danny pushed him out of the way of a falling anvil, he helps keep Danny safe from Katie.
Berserk Button:
- It doesn't matter if he is out on a date with you or not, Danny will not tolerate anyone hurting innocent people, especially kids. Cree and Vicky learn this the hard way.
- A lesser one is that Danny won't accept being disrespected on his blind date and will be quick to tell the person who did it off.
Beauty Equals Goodness: Averted and Zig-Zagged since the girls Danny goes out with are considered attractive to some point, regardless of their moral alignment. One exception could be Vicky, since Danny, even before being exposed to her nasty nature, couldn't bring himself to call her pretty.
Beware the Nice Ones: Danny is a nice, easygoing guy who treats the girls he dates with respect and consideration... but he's also someone you don't wanna piss off.
Be Yourself: Due to Tucker lying on his dating profile, his dates always end up going south. When he's finally honest on his profile, he manages to get a good date with Velma Dinkley.
Big Brother Instinct:
- Danny defends the KND from Cree, being reminded of how protective he is towards Danielle.
- Jazz's Big Sister Instinct kicks in when she notices how much Danny wants to avoid Katie Kaboom.
Big Damn Heroes: In Chapter 26, Danny ends up rescuing the girls of Monster High from the Guys in White.
Birds of a Feather: Danny finds plenty of his dates share similarities with him that help him bond with them. Whether it's a double life like with Kim or Makoto, feelings of longing or heartbreak like with Emma or Violet, or being a superhero like Kara or Kitty.
- After being honest on his profile, Tucker finds a date with Velma Dinkley, both of whom are geeky sidekicks.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Yeah, unfortunately Danny has already gone out with a couple of them, Cree (KND) and Vicky (FOP).
Blind Date: The entire premise of this fic is Danny being set up on a series of blind dates with girls from other fandoms.
Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Danny has gone out with a few of each.
Bookends: Danny's first and last dates are a redhead with green eyes he's constantly shipped with in other fanfictions. They both end up being among the dates he enjoys his time with the most.
Born Undead: Both Phantasma and Spectra Vondergeist are stated in spinoffs to have been born ghosts rather than the spirits of dead people.
Boyfriend-Blocking Dad:
- Phanty's father attacks Danny after he catches the two of them together on their blind date.
- Oscar Proud intrudes on Penny's date with Danny. Suga Mama even believes he goes too far.
Bully Hunter: Makoto defends Danny from Dash and his pals, putting them through physical pain until they leave him alone.
Butt-Monkey:
- Tucker, due to his misleading profile and refusal to change it, ends up with incompatible girls and gets bad dates. Even when the girls decide to give him a chance, they are turned off by his lame come-on lines.
- Dash, whenever he tries to intrude on Danny's dates, gets some form of karma.
- Even Danny isn't excluded from this. He was pretty much this during his blind date with Vicky and Katie. At least in the former, he manages to get some payback.
Call-Back: In "Snippets, Part 2", the snippet involving Violet Parr racing to meet Danny for their date has her being interrupted by multiple crimes taking place and she decides to help after checking her watch and saying, "I (still) got time" — the same thing that happened to her dad when he was going to his wedding in the prologue of The Incredibles 1.
Captive Date: An unintentional example, but Katie makes Danny go on another “date” with her when she runs into him at a carnival and Danny is too terrified of her monstrous transformation when angered to say no. Though it doesn’t stop him from running away from her the first chance that he gets.
Casanova Wannabe: Even when girls give Tucker a chance despite his misleading profile, his lame come-ons cause them to leave.
Cat Girl: Felicia Hardy/Black Cat.
Character Development: Danny in a romantic sense, compared to the original series. He once was a little shallow and all it took was a pretty face like Paulina's to blind him to the rest of her less-than-stellar traits that made her an imperfect match. Here, while taking this dating service, he has been shown to want more than just a pretty face to look at; he wants somebody he can be compatible with and who shares his interests.
Chick Magnet: Surprising enough, Danny. With a few exceptions, he has managed to hit it off well with most of the girls he has gone out with. More than one of whom is a Head-Turning Beauty who is seen as way out of his league by more than a couple of people. Even Savannah Shane, Angelica's rival, is impressed by Danny and silently thinks he’s cute.
Child Hater:
- Cree Lincoln, just like in canon.
- Vicky as well.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: It doesn't matter if he is in another town or if his date has powers/skills of her own, Danny just can't sit by and ignore a cry for help.
Celeb Crush: It's shown that Danny used to have a big crush on fellow hero Supergirl before the accident...which resurfaces when he goes on a date with her civilian self Kara.
Clingy Jealous Girl:
- Valerie shows jealousy towards Felicia when she sees her on a date with Danny.
- Meg to Tucker and Katie to Danny, to stalker levels.
- Dipper becomes a Clingy Jealous Guy when Wendy goes out with Danny. He hopes to prove Danny is some kind of beast, partly so Wendy will stay away.
- "Blooper" has Sam interrupting a scene and kissing Danny out of jealousy, much to Sabrina and the Director's annoyance.
- In the ending where Danny chooses her, Felicia/Black Cat becomes this towards him.
Commonality Connection: Sabrina and Danny bond over being teenagers with supernatural abilities who live secret lives.
Cool Old Lady: Suga Mama's definitely this—unlike Oscar (her son), Suga Mama's very supportive of Danny's relationship with her granddaughter, Penny, largely because she senses Danny's basic decency.
Comical Overreacting: Averted with Katie Kaboom, since her condition is treated as a serious threat by Danny.
Covered in Kisses: Danny ends up being covered in kisses by some of his dates.
- Kitty Pryde covers him in kisses after their date ends. Danny's pretty smitten with her as a result.
- Katie Kaboom kisses him repeatedly, though Danny is more in shock since this is a girl he wants to stay away from. It happens again after he runs into her at a carnival.
- He later receives a barrage of kisses from the girls of Monster High as a thank you for saving them from the Guys In White, resulting in this once again.
Creator Cameo: The story's writer Flower princess11 occasionally makes an appearance, as she is the one who runs the dating service.
Cute Monster Girl: Danny has gone out with a couple of them.
Dating Catwoman: Danny unknowingly goes on a date with the Black Cat, who flirts with him in and out of costume.
Dating Service Disaster: Played With and Zig-Zagged with You+Me=LOVE! that both Danny and Tucker sign up for.
- In Danny's case, he gets along well with most of the girls he meets, and any disasters happen due to outside forces.
- Zig-Zagged with Tucker, who gets paired up with mean, unattractive, or just plain weird girls as a Running Gag, but this mostly stems from him lying on his dating profile. When he finally fixes his profile so that it's more honest, he has a surprisingly nice date with Velma Dinkley.
Deconstruction Crossover:
- Some chapters deconstruct the flaws several characters have through their interactions with Danny. Vicky and Cree show how someone would react to a child-hating villain.
- Tucker's Casanova Wannabe behavior also gets dragged through the mud, since it leads to dates that are almost always terrible.
- Katie Kaboom's transformations, which were meant to be comedic, are treated as horrifying to someone not from Animaniacs.
- While many people don't notice Daria's snarky, aloof and blunt personality in her own show, here, Danny does notice and is hurt by her words and actions.
Defrosting Ice Queen:
- Gwen of Total Drama Island. She starts off uninterested in being on a blind date, but Danny telling her off is what causes her to snap out of it.
- Debbie Thornberry was exasperated about being forced onto a blind date by her parents, but loosens up a bit after being charmed by Danny.
- Downplayed with Daria's personality. Once she realizes how off-putting she's being, she unbends a bit, at least enough to find a rapport with Danny.
Doting Grandparent: Regardless of who Danny chooses, their elders are very loving towards their grandchildren, even the ones who don't like Danny.
- A noticeable example would be in the ending where Danny chooses Phantasma and they have a son named Eidolonius "Eddie" Phantom. Phantasma's father, The Phantom, makes it clear that he hates Danny yet he adores his grandson, "Little Eddie", having a very playful and affectionate relationship with him.
- James and Ann Possible love their granddaughter Annie very much, giving her cookies and a hovercar. James even uses his "anything is possible for a Possible" line, even though Danny notes that her last name is Fenton.
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Played With. On one hand, Katie's overly affectionate behavior with Danny is partially Played for Laughs at the beginning. However, as time progresses, it's not being treated comically anymore as Danny is clearly stressed out from Katie's constant touching and flirting with him. She's also completely unaware of how he's reacting around her.
Dramatic Irony: Katie Kaboom had a great time on her blind date with Danny and even falls in love with him as a result. However, she is completely unaware of the fact that the only reason Danny did so many nice things for her during their date was because he did not want to risk her turning into a monster again, and if anything, he seems to not want anything to do with her as a result.
Dudley Do-Right Stops to Help: One of the snippets based on alternate endings shows Violet Parr stopping to help people while on her way to a date with Danny.
Earn Your Happy Ending:
- Regardless of the true ending, the alternate endings, or the snippets, Danny will still find love and happiness with the girl he chooses to be with.
- During at least one alternate ending, Katie reforms and finally gets a chance with Danny as adults.
Establishing Character Moment: For Danny and the audience unfamiliar with the other works, most of the girls will demonstrate their personalities, quirks, and other things the moment they're introduced to him.
Even Evil Has Standards: Felicia Hardy/Black Cat isn't technically evil, just a thief and troublemaker, but there are villainous and even some unscrupulous acts that she won't condone.
Everyone Loves Blondes:
- Two of Danny's dates that he gets along with well and learn his secret identity are Sabrina Spellman (specifically the one from Sabrina's Secret Life) and Supergirl, both blondes.
- Debbie Thornberry is also blonde and while originally reluctant to go on the blind date, she quickly warms up to Danny, and the two end up having a great time together.
- Averted with Angelica and Katie. Angelica does turn out to be a nicer person than Danny realizes, though he sees no potential future with her. As for Katie, Danny is horrified that she falls for him at the end of their date due to having witnessed her "condition" firsthand.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Cree Lincoln could not understand why Danny was nice to a little kid or why he cares when he saw her beating on kids. Justified because it's implied that the Teens and Kids were/are in a secret war and Cree Lincoln's hatred for kids was considered a normal thing.
Evil-Detecting Dog:
- Cat in this case, but Salem, having been a warlock, can sense Danny's innate supernatural abilities.
- While Katie isn't evil, her presence causes Buttons to be terrified of her.
Evil Versus Evil: Ember McLain and The Trix fight over who will attack Danny and Musa during their date.
Explosive Breeder: The brief description of Danny's possible future with Starfire states she gave birth to Human/Ghost/Tamaranean hybrid quadruplets, 2 boys and 2 girls named Sunfire, Nightfire, Bonfire and Sapphire.
Fatal Flaw: As expected, Tucker's ego. His overconfident attitude and view of himself is drawing girls like Bonnie Rockwaller and Mandy instead of girls who would actually like him.
Femme Fatale: Black Cat.
Fire-Forged Friends:
- Sabrina and Danny work together to stick it in Vlad's craw when he tries to ruin their date.
- Similarly, Danny and Kara end up working together to deal with various threats, with their friendship solidified during a fight with Skulker.
First Girl Wins: The ending where Danny chooses Kim is this since she is the first girl from the dating service he had gone out with.
- Technically speaking, the original ending with Kara is this. Sure, while Kara is not the first girl from the service that Danny went out with (she's the 7th), he admits to having been infatuated with her Supergirl persona since the eighth grade, long before he even showed signs of even liking (his canon love interest) Sam.
First Love: As far as blind dates go, Kim was not only Danny's first date but also the first girl he liked out of the month's worth and he still thought fondly of her afterwards.
Flowers of Romance: Danny always starts his dates by giving the girls a bouquet.
Foot Popping: Katie Kaboom does this when she kisses Danny at the end of their date.
Forceful Kiss:
- Danny ends up receiving a big one at the hands of Katie Kaboom at the end of their date, much to his dismay. It happens AGAIN when he finds himself stuck with her at the carnival during the "A Little Break" arc.
- To get Dash and the A-listers off Danny's back, Feilcia kisses him in front of everyone. Danny expresses that he wishes she didn't do that without asking him first and she apologizes.
Forgiveness:
- In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Kitty, he eventually comes to forgive Katie for all the trouble she caused him.
- In the ending with Felicia, Danny is upset to learn she's the Black Cat and ends their relationship. Her stalking and following him around only made things worse. However, Taking the Bullet for him in a fight with Vlad Plasmius convinces him she loves him and he forgives her.
Formula-Breaking Episode: There have been two chapters that don't take place on one of Danny's dates. One is Tucker's date with Lisa of American Dad! which ends poorly. The other is Jazz recognizing how boring her summer vacation is due to her brother's dates, his friends being busy, and that the ghosts are barely attacking Amity Park.
Fourth-Wall Observer: Like in their series, the Warner Siblings are fully aware they're fictional characters and take full advantage of it. Danny, someone who has no such ability in canon, is confused about who they're talking to.
Friend to All Children: 14-year-old Danny Fenton will snap at people who harm small children, as Cree, Vicky, Mindy's parents, and Katie discover.
Girl of the Week: More like Girl of the Chapter since the point is that Danny goes on a series of blind dates, meeting a new girl that he hits it off with... most of the time anyway.
Good Parents: Regardless of who he chooses, Danny and his chosen girl will grow up to be good parents to their kids.
Gold Digger:
- Vicky went on the 13th date with Danny, only to ditch him when she found out he wasn't rich.
- Bonnie Rockwaller became this to Danny in the fifth alternate ending, trying to steal him from Kim after his identity as Danny Phantom was revealed since she wanted a rich and famous boyfriend. His love for Kim and Bonnie originally dismissing him as a geek made his disinterest clear.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Two of the girls that Danny has gone out with are Sabrina, a Cute Witch, and Kara aka Supergirl, both of whom are blonde and as nice as they come, if somewhat spunky.
Hair-Trigger Temper: Exaggerated with Katie Kaboom due to her powers. When something sets her off, she turns into a monster that's nearly unstoppable.
Happily Married: Whether it's Kim, Sabrina, or his real choice of Kara, all of the endings have Danny living a happy life with his chosen girl and their children.
Hard Truth Aesop: As Katie discovers in the "A Little Break" chapters, just because you had a wonderful time on your date doesn't mean the person you went out with did. Not only was Danny not as interested as she was, but she was uncomfortably affectionate to the point of making him unwilling to be with her even without her monstrous transformation. In all stories set after this, regardless of timeline, just because Katie made a conscious effort to turn for the better, that didn't mean Danny would instantly forgive her, as her actions still made him scared to even talk about her. It would take doing something that wasn't meant to earn forgiveness, like saving someone he cares for, that finally convinces him to do so. Sometimes, it's best to let a person you hurt forgive you when they want to, not because you made an effort to better yourself from how you were. Girls like Kim let Danny know he's not in the wrong to not forgive Katie right away.
Has a Type: Danny seems to like strong, independent girls who also have good natures, most of whom are also redheads.
Hate Sink: Dash is an even bigger jerk to Danny than usual, with none of his Pet the Dog moments from the series present. He frequently tries to bully or humiliate Danny while attempting to steal his dates.
Head-Turning Beauty: Many of the girls that Danny goes out with seem to have this effect on him.
- On his first date, Danny was rather reluctant and didn't really care for how it would go. Then he sees what his date, Kim Possible, looks like. He's immediately in awe of how attractive she is and quickly becomes optimistic.
- Perhaps the most blatant example is Felicia Hardy; Danny does a Jaw Drop when he first sees her and outright describes her as "perfect". When they later go to Nasty Burger, she catches the attention of every boy there.
- The Warner Brothers give this reaction to Jazz, who naturally freaks out over it.
Hero of Another Story: In the Barbara Gordon snippet, it's said "Batman and Robin were out of town, helping Superman deal with some crisis in Metropolis".
Hilarious Outtakes: The final chapter (59) involves a series of bloops and outtakes over the "filming" of the story, even involving an over-stressed director.
Honorary Uncle:
- Danny's children in the actual ending refer to Tucker and Velma as their uncle and aunt.
- In the fifth alternate Ending, Danny and Kim's daughter, Annie, regards her mother's old friend as "Uncle Wade".
Hypocrite: Danny holds Katie’s parents in contempt for not making more of an effort to rein in their daughter. However, he spent his entire time on both dates with Katie fearfully pampering her to keep her from getting mad as well. The difference is that Danny learned about an institute that can help Katie control her powers but (until he snaps at her, makes her realize what she is and she decides to get anger management) decided she was too crazy to reason with (comparing her to Vlad) so he didn’t bother.
I Didn't Mean to Turn You On: Poor Danny was only trying to keep Katie from losing her temper until their date was officially over. She misinterprets it as him getting her to fall for him, and it works.
Informed Attractiveness: Played With. In the series, Danny isn't seen as remarkable looking by his coeds at Casper High but most of the girls he has gone out with, younger and older than him, consider him cute.
In-Series Nickname: Referencing the original dub of Sailor Moon, Makoto goes by the nickname of "Lita", which Danny uses.
Interspecies Romance: Most of the girls have no idea the boy they're dating is half-ghost. Then again, Danny himself finds out he's dating an alien, a ghost, a robot, and at least one half-alien.
Irony: Danny was reluctant to try out the dating service and was originally planning to quit at the beginning, only to continue and ends up having the most success with the girls he dates. On the other hand, Tucker was the one who wanted to try it out and convinced Danny to do it too, yet he ends up being the one with the worst dates.
Japanese Honorifics: Makoto/Lita is fond of referring to Danny as "Danny-kun".
Jerkass:
- Dash Baxter remains the unpleasant bully he always is. First, he takes his frustrations with his summer vacation being ruined out on Danny, then the next day he's hitting on Danny's date while getting them kicked out of the hockey game. Later, he and his fellow jocks try to harass Danny during another date, and the day after, he and the A-listers pester him on yet another. Each girl Danny was with at the time ended up sharing his dislike of Dash as a result.
- Unsurprisingly, Vicky, who only went out with Danny for money and left him with the expensive bill. She also terrorizes kids For the Evulz, especially Timmy.
Jerkass Has a Point:
- Lisa Silver, Tucker's blind date during "Interlude", while really mean and rude about it, had a right to be displeased with him since his profile was misleading so she was expecting a different person. Even when she decided to give Tucker a chance, he ruined it with his lame come-on lines.
- Danny, as hard as he was on Katie, has a point about how much damage she causes whenever she morphs and that being a teenager is not an excuse.
Jerkass Realization: Katie has one after Danny yells at her when she accidentally hurts her little brother during one of her rampages.
Karma Houdini: Katie never really faces any consequences for destroying the restaurant she and Danny (originally) were going to eat at or the emotional stress she put him through. The ending could be looked at as a case of The Bad Guy Wins.
Karma Houdini Warranty: Katie is finally called out on her actions by Danny at the end of the "A little break" arc and decides to go to Xavier's Institute.
Kick the Dog: As if stealing Timmy's prized Crimson Chin comic wasn't bad enough, Vicky adds injury to insult by giving him a wedgie.
Kid-anova: Danny is still 14, but has actually managed to get the interest of even girls who are 16.
Kiss of Distraction:
- Felicia kisses Danny twice as a distraction. Once to put a tracker on him, the other to remove it.
- To keep Katie from losing her temper, Danny reluctantly kisses her...which ends up working a little TOO well.
Lampshade Hanging: Since he's gone out with girls who are far from normal as he is, Danny outright questions what kind of dating service he's agreed to.
Let Me Get This Straight...: Vlad's reaction when the ghost vultures explain what happened to his lab in the Sabrina chapter.
Vlad: Let me get this straight... You three expect me to believe that my sweet little Maddie, the one thing that I currently have that loves me unconditionally...destroyed my lab. ...BY CHASING A MOUSE?!
Ghost vulture leader: Actually...it was two mice...
A Lighter Shade of Black: The Black Cat may be a thief, but she does possess some values at her core.
Likes Older Women: Downplayed. Danny is still 14 but has gone out with girls one or two years older than him, and has expressed genuine interest in them.
Love at First Note: While on his blind date with Musa, Danny is in awe when he hears her sing and becomes further attracted to her.
Love at First Sight: While not outright stated, Danny has been shown to find many of the girls he has gone out with attractive and vice versa, and at the end of the date, there is usually some degree of attraction.
Love Before First Sight: If Danny chooses Kara, this becomes a case of this, since he already was a big fan of her Supergirl self due to her fame and heroic actions and was infatuated with her well before officially meeting her.
Love Epiphany: Danny experiences this in chapter 39 when he finally figures out who he wants as his perfect match.
Love Interest vs. Lust Interest: Dash Baxter and Danny Fenton show this dynamic in regards to Danny's dates; while Danny is an unpopular student who becomes popular with girls because he treats them like actual human beings, Dash is nothing but a misogynistic horndog who tries, and fails, to steal Danny's dates from him via his status as a high school quarterback and "Alpha Male" bullying attitude.
Love Redeems: In the ending where she is his chosen match, Felicia has long since given up her life of crime for Danny.
Loving a Shadow: Katie's interest in Danny formed due to a series of misunderstandings.
Luminescent Blush: A recurring thing for not just Danny, but some of the girls he dates. If there's even a hint of an interest, they blush.
The Maiden Name Debate: A bonus chapter reveals that Gwen Tennyson keeps her maiden name in the timeline where she marries Danny.
Maybe Ever After: In the ending where Danny doesn't get a girlfriend, he eventually forgives Katie and the implication is the two start dating.
The Missus and the Ex: During his date with Violet, Danny meets her ex-boyfriend, Tony Rydinger. Despite the awkwardness, Danny still treats Violet well enough that she soon opens up to him.
My God, What Have I Done?:
- Danny is horrified when he realizes that by making sure nothing could possibly set Katie off and make her transform during their date, he acted like the perfect gentleman and made Katie fall in love with him.
- When Danny points out all the damage Katie causes during her rampage and that she hurt her little brother, she is visibly horrified.
Never My Fault:
- Tucker refuses to believe the reason he keeps getting bad dates is because of his profile, which is dishonest and exaggerates the kind of person he is.
- Dash Baxter. Every time he tries to intrude on Danny's dates, something bad happens to him that he blames Danny for.
Nice Guy: Unless it's a girl who is genuinely bad (or terrified him like Katie), Danny is always nice and considerate to his dates. Girls like Kim, Kara, Violet, and Jen find this aspect of him attractive.
Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Concerning the original Team Phantom, Danny is the Nice as he’s the friendliest and most easygoing, Sam’s the Mean since she’s the most surly and negative, and Tucker’s the In-Between since he’s nicer than Sam but not as charming as Danny.
No-Sell: Katie's monstrous form is completely unfazed by anything Danny does to fight back. He is left with no choice but to cater to her whims in order to keep her from morphing.
Not Me This Time: During Danny's date with Kim, an explosion catches their attention. He figured one of his usual villains was causing trouble, only to see two people he doesn't recognize, Doctor Drakken and Shego. He quickly learns they're Kim's villains.
Obliviously Evil: While Katie transforms into a dangerous monster every time she gets angry, it seems that she is in the dark about it and the large about of damage that she causes. In fact, the Warner brothers even point out that even in her monster form, she doesn't really hurt people.
Obnoxious In-Laws: In the alternate ending where Danny chooses Phantasma, he would have this kind of relationship with Phanty's father, one of mutual and utter contempt.
Official Couple: Danny and Kara, with an epilogue showing their future together. Although there are alternate endings where Danny chose a different girl and still ended up happy, the author has expressed plans for a series of shorts starring Danny and Kara as a couple.
One-Steve Limit: Averted.
- Danny has gone out with two girls named Gwen and two girls whose full name is Jennifer, though one goes by Jen and the other Jenny.
- Violet tells Danny how she has a brother named Dash, though he's actually more mature than Danny's bully.
- When Danny tells Jazz about Kitty, he has to explain she's not the same Kitty who once tried to steal Jazz's body.
- Like Danny, Alex also has a friend named Samantha (Sam).
- One of Danny's dates is a girl named Spectra Vondergeist. The school she attends also had to face Danny's foe Penelope Spectra at some point.
One True Love: Kara is this officially to Danny.
OOC Is Serious Business: Seeing how heartbroken and remorseful Katie is after Danny called her out for hurting her brother, the Warners aren't laughing.
Parental Marriage Veto: In the alternate ending where Danny marries Phantasma, The Phantom was against their relationship and Danny and Phanty married against his wishes.
Parental Neglect: When seeing Buttons getting punished for getting covered in garbage, Danny and Jazz, who saw that he was trying to save Mindy, call his owners out for not properly watching over their daughter.
Parental Obliviousness: Mindy's parents freak out when they find out that their daughter climbed to the highest branch of a tree, fell off, and could have died if not for Buttons saving her, all while the parents were too busy with an important phone call to notice.
Pet the Dog:
- Every once in a while, Tucker will more or less find a decent date with a girl.
- Despite still being sore over the incidents with Katie Kaboom, upon hearing from her father that she is remorseful and even getting anger management, Danny recommends Katie to go to Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters in hopes of helping her control her powers. Though this may have been for everyone else's sake from his POV.
Poor Communication Kills: Since Katie has no memory of her transformations, she took Danny’s actions as romantic gestures. Also, instead of trying to tell Katie that she makes him uncomfortable and why he just kept pampering her, Danny kissed her to calm her down and tried running away. He even rejected Jazz’s idea to talk to Katie, deeming her “crazy” and comparing her to Vlad, but if he had tried (especially since he met Kitty Pryde beforehand), it could have saved both him and Katie a lot of trouble.
Post-Kiss Catatonia: Happens to Danny and sometimes his date after they kiss.
- Both times that Felicia kissed him left Danny blushing and in a dreamy state.
Precocious Crush: Inverted—quite a few of the girls that Danny meets through the dating service are older than he is (albeit only by a year or two), but he still manages to win them over.
Properly Paranoid: Dipper, while spying on Wendy's date with Danny, suspects Danny's true nature, and is even able to catch a glimpse of his ghost form.
Pushover Parents: Played for Drama as Danny notices to his shock, even Katie's parents are afraid of her.
Put on a Bus: Sam is said to be off on a trip with her parents in Europe, so she doesn't know about Danny's dates. Given her reaction to him dating Valerie in the show, this might be a good thing.
Rebus Bubble: When Danny's dating Penny Proud from The Proud Family, he meets her frenemy, LaCienega Boulevardez, who describes her date as a guy she "thought was a total hottie, only to discover he is just some super geek that was obsessed with tech and meat". Upon hearing that, Danny deduces Geek+Technology+Meat+Overconfident profile = Tucker.
Related in the Adaptation:
- In the "Parallel Sailor Moon" short, Sailor Jupiter has a daughter named Mako, though the father is notably not present. If Danny chooses her, he becomes Mako's father.
- In the MC2 comics, Felicia's daughter Felicity was Flash Thompson's daughter. In the ending with her, Danny is the father.
- Draculaura (Monster High) and Sibella (Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School) are cousins. Draculara explains that her father is Vladimir Dracula and Sibella's is his brother, Bela Dracula.
Right for the Wrong Reasons: Dipper rightly suspects Danny of being supernatural, but he is only suspicious because he hopes to make Danny look bad in front of Wendy, whom Danny is taking on a blind date.
Running Gag: Tucker getting paired up with a lousy date due to refusing to change his profile page.
Screen Name: Part of the dating service policy is that all clients and even employees use screen names.

Secret Secret-Keeper:
- Even for the dates who DON'T realize that Danny knows, he still keeps quiet.

Ship Sinking: Not all of Danny's dates are winners, and only a few he has no desire to even be friends with.
- Cree Lincoln seemed nice, but her beating up children caused Danny to reject her immediately.
- Vicky, being a greedy psychopath who hurts kids for fun, causes Danny to give her the lowest score possible.
- Katie Kaboom is madly in love with him, but her monstrous transformations when angry and incredibly clingy interest in him cause Danny to be genuinely terrified of her.
Shipping Torpedo:
- Jack has a strong disapproval of Cree since Danny told him that she is a Child Hater.
- Kevin is very confrontational with Danny, much to Gwen's irritation.
- Sheldon tries to interrupt Danny's date with Jenny since he only told her about the dating website as a means of rigging it to date her.
- Donatello's extremely jealous of Danny for dating April.
Ship Tease: The dates who enjoy their time with Danny the most show strong hints of him being the girl he chooses.
Shrinking Violet:
- Danny notices on his date that Violet is this. Fortunately, he's able to get her to open up.
- Ginger Foutley has shades of this too, due to still being sore over her breakup with Darren.
Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Kim Possible, Gwen Tennyson, and Starfire are this, and all are heroines.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: With the obvious exceptions being Cree and Vicky, all of the girls have developed an interest in Danny for being a nice person. The following are major examples:
- Kim Possible, his first date, takes a quick liking to Danny for his being understanding of her teen hero duties and not at all being turned off by her fighting prowess.
- Gwen Tennyson only took blind dating for her friend. She found Danny to be a nice guy and was impressed to learn he's a superhero as well.
- Emma only agreed to the dating service to be paired with her crush. However, she finds that Danny is understanding of her issues and convinces her that she's a great girl whom her crush doesn't deserve if he can't see that. She thinks that if Danny weren't younger, she might have chosen him right away.
- Sabrina develops an interest in Danny for not being afraid of her being a witch and for being funny.
- Kara becomes interested in Danny for being someone who shares a love of saving people and knowing the struggles of a secret identity. She's the first to kiss him on the lips as a result.

- Jen was originally disinterested in Danny for being someone younger and not into sports. However, he doesn't rat her out when they prank Dash. She gets to know him afterwards, finding him nice and fun to be with. She kisses him on both cheeks as a result and she asked Caitlyn, another 6teen character, for advice over the phone about dating younger men.
- Wendy shows a liking to how Danny isn't put off by her relaxed attitude or eating habits. She gives him her number as a result.
- Debbie Thornberry was at first very confrontational since she was forced into blind dating by her parents. However, Danny was open with her and they bonded over embarrassing parents and having normal lives.
- Kitty Pryde is enamored with how Danny isn't at all put off by her being a mutant. She kisses him repeatedly as a result.
- Makoto/Lita is surprised that Danny isn't terrified of her stature or her fighting skills. He even compliments her and believes it is wrong for people to think badly of her. She falls for him after their date ends.
- Katie mistakes Danny's attempts to keep her from getting angry as him being a gentleman and falls for him. During the "A Little Break" arc, Danny tries to explain to Katie that most girls at his school don't notice him and asks why she likes him so much. Katie, however, quickly tells him that those girls are dumb, and that he is a nice, sweet guy and that is why she likes him so much. Danny is so shocked by this answer that he momentarily loses his fear of Katie and almost sees her as a normal girl... only to revert back when she tries to kiss him again.
- Penny Proud is surprised that Danny took the full blame from her father by claiming he was harassing her to get her out of trouble. This impressed not only Penny, but also Suga Mama.
- Musa, being used to dating bad boys, quickly takes an interest in Danny for being the polar opposite.
- Felicia Hardy is impressed at how mature Danny is despite being younger than her. She takes a quick liking to him and decides he's earned her respect, enough to remove the tracking device she planted on him.
- Cleo is flattered Danny doesn't expose her secret and accepts her being a mermaid.
- Starfire is the only girl to know of Danny's powers before officially meeting him after seeing his transformation. She doesn't have issue with it, her only interest is the fact that Danny is sympathetic to her backstory and they spend a good deal of their time saving lives.
Smitten Teenage Girl: At the end of the date, some of the girls that Danny has gone out with become interested in him, becoming these.
- Katie Kaboom is a Deconstruction of one since she acts sweet and smitten around Danny only when she is in her normal, non-monstrous form.
Stalker with a Crush:
- Meg towards Tucker.
- Katie Kaboom becomes this towards Danny, chasing him around throughout the break arc.
Stating the Simple Solution: Danny tells Tuck to change his profile to get better dates but he refuses to listen at first.
Statuesque Stunner: Makoto/Lita is stated to be taller than Danny, though it doesn't diminish his interest in her.
Strong Family Resemblance: Danny's kids with his match will show heavy similarities to their parents.
- In his nightmare of marrying Katie, their daughters all look like smaller versions of their mother.
- The daughter he could have with Kim, named Annie, resembles her mother but with her father's blue eyes. Although they turn green when her powers activate, unintentionally making her more of a mini-version of Kim.
Stupid Slothfulness: In general, the various bullies and Alpha Bitches, unlike the heroes, tend to end up peaking in high school because they don't bother taking their educations seriously or planning for the future.
Superpowered Date: The few times Danny has dated a superpowered girl and they simultaneously discover each other's identities, they decide to use their powers to have fun during the rest of their date.
Sympathy for the Devil: Tucker and Jazz have some degree of sympathy for Katie, even though they feel Danny was in the right with what he said.
Taking the Bullet: Non-fatal example. Danny takes a kryptonite missile that Skulker fired at Kara, which doesn't hurt him, since he is not from Krypton.
A Taste of Their Own Medicine: As far as Cleo is concerned, spying on Spectra Vondergeist's date is giving her "a taste of her own medicine".
Tempting Fate: When Danny says his date with Vicky couldn't be worse, a waiter shows up with the bill for the food and the damages.
That Came Out Wrong: Danny explains after Felicia kissed him that he wants more than just a pretty face who would do more than just kiss him. Felicia thinks he means something else and gives him a dirty look. He clarifies he meant someone he could get along with.
The "I Love You" Stigma: After Danny reluctantly kisses Katie to keep her from losing her temper and going on a rampage, Katie says she loves him and forcefully kisses him back for THREE MINUTES! It's no wonder Danny fainted after all of that.
The Tease: Two Words: Felicia Hardy. Who is not shy about heavily flirting with Danny.
There Are No Coincidences: When Danny asks how Barbara Gordon figured out his secret, she points out, among other things, that both Fenton and Phantom are from Amity Park and both of them showing up in her hometown around the same time was too big of a coincidence.
Throw the Dog a Bone:
- After so many bad dates, Tucker decides to actually create an honest dating profile, and has a nice date with Velma Dinkley.
- Buttons the dog finally gets rewarded for his heroism when Danny, Jazz, and Tucker tell Mindy's parents that they saw Buttons rescue Mindy.
- Also the Mime, normally a Butt-Monkey who always gets hurt whenever he appears, gets saved by Danny from a falling anvil.
To Win Without Fighting: How Danny beat Katie, not by using his powers, but by calling her out on the damage she caused, and telling her he has no interest in her.
Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Some of Danny's dates are taller than him, the most obvious being Makoto/Lita Kino, though it does nothing to diminish his interest in them.
Trauma Conga Line: Vicky gets this at the hands of Danny. Using his invisibility, he throws a sticky bun at Vicky's head and causes her to trip over a can, which causes a bucket of paint to fall on her head, after which she falls into a pile of garbage. She throws the can of paint at a beehive, causing the bees to sting and chase after her due to being attracted to the garbage and sticky bun stuck on her body.
Understanding Boyfriend: Blind dates or not, Danny is very open-minded towards (most) of the girls he has gone out with. You'd have to be in order to be okay with dating a spy, a robot, a ghost, a mutant, an alien, etc.
Uneven Hybrid: Regardless of the real or alternate endings, Danny's kids will have uneven genetics. Their father is half-human and half-ghost. His chosen girl, Kara, is a Kryptonian. Marrying a ghost like Phantasma would make his child 1/4th human, marrying a human like Kim makes would make them 1/4th ghost.
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Danny notices that when he dated Jenny (a robot) and Starfire (an alien), nobody really paid that much attention to them.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Tucker's insistence in joining the dating website may have led Danny to meeting genuine nice girls who fall for him, but it also led him to meeting Katie Kaboom, who became a terrifying Stalker with a Crush.
Villainesses Want Heroes: Played With and later averted with Danny's worse dates.
- Cree Lincoln seemed to like Danny at first, only to lose interest after he both dumps her and she discovers that he cares about kids.
- Vicky never expressed any genuine interest in Danny, she was just looking for a Meal Ticket and didn't hesitate to leave him when she found out that he has no money.
- Averted with Katie Kaboom who seems to be unaware of the fact that she transforms into a monster, or at the very least, that she is doing anything wrong, but it's clear she has a thing for Danny.
- Played straight with Black Cat, who takes a liking to Danny despite being two years older than him.
Wedgie: Danny sees Vicky giving Timmy one.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Played With. Danny immediately regrets offending Jenny after he accidentally makes an insensitive comment about her being a robot and doesn't hesitate to apologize to her once it sinks in that she has feelings.
World of Badass: Danny meets many, many superheroines.
Yandere:
- A non-violent example is Meg Griffin towards whomever she dates, which includes Tucker. She stoops to stalking him and hacking into the dating website so he can't reject her.
- Another example is Katie towards Danny, who worries that she is one of these.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are:
- A sure sign that the girls grow to like Danny is when he says or does something to help convince them of their own self-worth should they be upset over something.
- Despite being afraid of her, Danny does appreciate Katie telling him that the girls from his school are morons for rejecting him since he's such a great person.

TMDDF: The Many Kids of Danny Fenton

Adaptational Nice Guy: In Parallel Sailor Moon, the daughters of Makoto and Ami were both rather bratty and openly disrespectful. Here, likely due to who their fathers are, Mako Fenton and Amy "Ami Jr." Tennyson are both nice and respectful.
All for Nothing: The Bebes' plan to clone bodies based on Annie's DNA ultimately backfired. Due to their perception of perfection, they chose to only clone Annie's DNA in her ghost form. However, due to instability in cloning said DNA, the first clone body soon dissolves. All four Bebes are destroyed before they could reactivate their fellow robots, all because they made a rash decision about how Annie's DNA would be used.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: When Selene accuses Wyatt and Bram of having smaller attention spans than goldfish, Bram denies it and then asks Wyatt if goldfish have small attention spans, which Wyatt doesn't know.
Berserk Button: Amy Tennyson seems to hate it when people acknowledge she has poor penmanship.
Dead Guy Junior: Some of the kids Danny has are named after people who have long since passed away by the time they were born.
- Alura "Ally" Fenton is named after her maternal grandmother (Kara's biological mother), Alura.
- Matlin Fenton is named after her maternal grandmother, who died when Musa was a little kid.
- Hiroshi and Emiko Fenton, Danny's fraternal twins with Makoto Kino (aka, Sailor Jupiter), are named after Makoto's deceased parents.
Does She Have A Sister: In Chapter 15, upon learning Andrea already has a boyfriend, Bram asks if she has a sister.
Evil Is Petty: Kim believes the Bebes didn't just pick Annie since it would grant them a body with her skills and Danny's powers, but to spite her.
Honorary Uncle: Danny and Makoto are Amy's godparents, though she calls them Uncle and Aunt. Ben and Ami are Mako's and she likely feels the same way. Though there's no blood relation, both the Fentons and Tennysons regard each other as family.
In Spite of a Nail: Regardless of who Danny ends up with, his kids become friends with the kids of his two best friends.
It Runs in the Family: Amy is shown to have an extreme love of Mr. Smoothy's, something she got from her father (Ben has a well-known love for it) and Ami (who became as much a loyal customer as Ben when she moved to America). She also shares their distaste for Max's cooking.
Laser-Guided Karma: Chapter 19 features Dash working for one of the nerds he used to humiliate back when they were high schoolers, just like he always said he would.
Legacy Character: Both Makoto and Ami's eldest daughters adopt hero outfits that resemble their Sailor Guardian forms, albeit with the abilities their fathers have combined with their Sailor powers, making them a new generation of Sailor Guardians. Mako can use Danny Phantom's ghostly energy and Sailor Jupiter's electrical attacks, while Amy can use an Omnitrix like Ben 10 that can grant her alien powers akin to Ultimate Ben from Ultimate Alien, and can use Sailor Mercury's ice powers (though not when she uses a power that clashes with it, such as heat blasts).
Lethal Chef: Max Tennyson is still cooking the same foods even as his grandchildren have children of their own. None of them enjoy it.
Like Parent, Like Child:
- Most if not all of Danny's children emulate their parents in one way or another, whether it be looks, likes and dislikes, fighting skill, and general appearance.
- Ben Tennyson's daughter Amy is as much of a braggart as he is. She also shares his love for Mr. Smoothy.
Like Parent, Unlike Child:
- Zigzagged with Tucker and Sam's kids.
  - Tucker Jr., or TJ or Tuck depending on the timeline, is just as smart and tech-savvy as his dad—however, he's not your typical school nerd and is also passionate about sports.
  - CJ, Sam's son, is an animal lover and seems to be into the goth scene like her—however, CJ's a lot friendlier than his mom was as a teenager and has a rather flirtatious nature. Also, unlike Sam (who's a vegan/vegetarian), CJ has eaten both meat and dairy (albeit behind his parents' backs).
- Ami Mizuno, as a teenager, was a shy and reserved Nice Girl. Amy Tennyson, her daughter via Ben Tennyson, is a more extroverted and open Nice Girl.
Mythology Gag:
- Kara mentions Parker Industries.
- Aisha's daughter is named Layla. Layla is what Aisha is called in some dubs.
Obnoxious In-Laws:
- In the timeline where Danny chooses Phantasma from Ghoul School, the Phantom becomes this towards Danny—however, Danny gets along just fine with Phanty's mom (who's established as being divorced from Phanty's dad).
- In the timeline where Danny chooses Sailor Jupiter, Ben Tennyson ends up with Sailor Mercury (aka, Ami Mizuno). Ami's mother has apparently made it clear that she won't hesitate to harm Ben if he's unfaithful to her daughter.
Puppy-Dog Pout: In the timeline with Kim, by the time Danny's pushing 40, all four of their kids (Annie, Danny Jr., Manny and Frannie) have mastered the "puppy dog pout" Kim used. Kim has developed a "mom look" to counter it, something Danny is lacking. He's more resistant to it if it were one of his kids, but when all of his kids and Kim use it against him, he's powerless.
Reformed, but Not Tamed: Just because Black Cat is on the side of angels now, doesn't mean she stops acting devilish when she feels like it.
Ridiculously Successful Future Self: Kara's mention of Parker Industries opening a new branch implies that Peter Parker became this.
So Proud of You: Danny is nothing but proud of Annie for not only defeating Technus but holding her own against the Bebes.
Supreme Chef: Makoto's recipes are so good that not even this world's version of a certain foul-mouthed chef can find anything wrong with them.
Toxic Family Influence: Most of the children of the various bullies are just as bad as their parents were as teenagers due to the fact that they were raised to be just like them. One of the notable exceptions is Paola, the daughter of Dash and Paulina, who was raised mostly by her grandparents, who unlike their children, are decent people.
Violently Protective Girlfriend: While they're not dating yet, Mako manages to knock Skulker's mechanical head off for trying to kill Fuyuki after he tries to help her.
White Sheep: Thanks to her grandparents' influence, Paola Baxter is this to her younger brother, Dash Junior, and their parents, Dash Senior and Paulina. Unlike them, Paola's a genuinely kind and friendly person who's not antagonistic towards Danny and his family—in fact, in the timeline where Danny chooses Sailor Jupiter, Paola is shown to be close friends with Mako Fenton (despite their parents' issues with each other).
