History Fanfic / Harmless

* KilledOffForReal: So far, [[spoiler: Fright Knight and Aragon]].

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Vlad]] is trying to perform one. No one trusts him and almost no one wants him around. No EasilyForgiven for him.

** Sydney Poindexter, just like as mentioned in his first episode, came from a kid who bullied relentlessly during high school. He was eventually DrivenToSuicide

* CrushBlush: Sydney Poindexter does this in regards to Princess Dora, though looking like a [[DeliberatelyMonochrome black-and-white photograph]] makes it harder to spot on him.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Figuring out the age of ghosts is tricky. For example, Ember and Sydney Poindexter look like teenagers, but she's been around since TheSeventies and he's from TheFifties.

* TotallyRadical: Technus tends to use this somewhat. And Sydney Poindexter's slang from TheFifties is pretty bad.

* GeniusDitz: Jack Fenton is brilliant when it comes to anything ghost-related, but doesn't really focus on anything else beyond immediate concerns.

* OverprotectiveGirlfriend: Sam really doesn't like that [[spoiler:Vlad is back]] after everything that he did to Danny and his family in the past.

* EnemyMine: Danny, his friends, and family are teaming up with ghosts ranging from [[AnIcePerson Frostbite]] and his Yeti ghosts to Poindexter and Dora to [[TheHunter Skulker]] and Technus to [[spoiler:Vlad]].

* OnAScaleFromOneToTen: "Just between us, how bad do you guess this is going to be? On a scale from one to ten. One would be the [[HarmlessVillain Box Ghost]] and ten would be [[WesternAnimation/ReignStorm King Pariah]] tag teaming with the [[WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet Dis-asteroid]]."

[[WMG:Tropes in ''Harmless'' include:]]

** Cujo was a guard dog for Axiom Labs that was put to sleep when they upgraded the security system and no longer needed him.

* OnAScaleFromOneToTen: "Just between us, how bad do you guess this is going to be? One a scale from one to ten. One would be the [[HarmlessVillain Box Ghost]] and ten would be [[WesternAnimation/ReignStorm King Pariah]] tag teaming with the [[WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet Dis-asteroid]]."

* SideBet: Apparently the ghosts had a bet on what it would take for Danny and Sam to admit their feelings for each other. The Box Ghost won. Tucker is disappointed he didn't get the chance to join the bet.

* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: After Tucker used to dream of having power, adulation, and being important, he ends up as Mayor of Amity Park following the events of ''WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet'' only to discover that it isn't exactly what he expected. Most of his free time was gone, he didn't get to see his friends as much as he wanted to, and his new title came with more paperwork and boring meetings than he could count. Plus, he still had homework and a curfew his parents expected him to follow. And all of this while [[TheChainsOfCommanding carrying the weight of the population of Amity Park on his shoulders]] and [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he didn't even get supermodels to cheer him on]]. On the other hand, he does prove to be rather capable of dealing with the problems of a [[CityOfAdventure frequently-haunted town]].

* OlderThanTheyLook: Figuring out the age of ghosts is tricky. For example, Ember and Sydney Poindexter look like teenagers, but she's been around since the seventies and he's from the fifties.

* CrushBlush: Sydney Poindexter does this in regards to Princess Dora, though looking like a black-and-white photograph makes it harder to spot on him.

* SadlyMythtaken: Ammit is portayed as a powerful male ghost when in EgyptianMythology she was a female demon who devoured the hearts of the unworthy dead. This is essentially ArtisticLicense and is immediately {{Lampshaded}} when they look up the name. It is stated the Egyptians based their stories upon the ghost and simply got some details wrong.

* CityOfAdventure: Amity Park. They have Ghost Drills now.

* OnAScaleOfOneToTen: "Just between us, how bad do you guess this is going to be? One a scale from one to ten. One would be the [[HarmlessVillain Box Ghost]] and ten would be [[WesternAnimation/ReignStorm King Pariah]] tag teaming with the [[WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet Dis-asteroid]]."

* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: After Tucker used to dream of having power, adulation, and being important, he ends up as Mayor of Amity Park following the events of ''WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet'' only to discover that it isn't exactly what he expected.

And all of this while [[TheChainsOfCommanding carrying the weight of the population of Amity Park on his shoulders]] and [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he didn't even get supermodels to cheer him on]]. On the other hand, he does prove to be rather capable of dealing with the problems of a [[WeirdnessMagnet frequently-haunted town]].

* [[ABoyAndHisX A Female Clone Ghost And Her Werewolf-Ghost]] Danielle and Wulf

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Danielle looks about twelve years old, but her real age is measured in ''months''.

Which means it is time for things to GoHorriblyWrong. [[WesternAnimation/ReignStorm Vlad's deal with the Fright Knight]] finally comes into focus, but unfortunately [[SealedEvilInACan awakens something ancient and powerful]]. Something that makes Pariah Dark pale in comparison and utterly terrifies every single ghost in existence, from the Observants to the Box Ghost. Those that don't hide [[EnemyMine immediately seek out Danny]], [[GenreSavvy knowing that he would do his best to stop the newly-unleased horror and that he has the best chance at success]].

** The origins of the scar on Clockwork's eye and Pariah Dark's missing eye are explained: they are the result of [[SealedEvilInACan sealing Ammit in the first place]].

After the events of WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet, things have certainly changed for everyone. [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Danny's]] secret is out, Vlad is MIA in space, Danielle is wandering the world and no longer about to dissolve into goo, Tucker is mayor of Amity Park, [[OfficialCouple Sam finally ended up with Danny]], and things are for the most part pretty good for our heroes.

* TheWorfEffect: Ammit destroys Fright Knight seconds after waking up.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After decades of [[NeverMyFault blaming everyone else]], [[spoiler:Vlad]] finally accepts he has [[HeelRealization no one else to blame for his current situation but himself]].

* SemanticSuperpower: Jazz thinks the Box Ghost's powers could operate like this. With some flexibility about what he considers "boxes" could provide him with a lot more versatility.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Vlad]] is trying to be this.

* BreakTheHaughty: The events of WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet served as this for [[spoiler:Vlad]] and forced him to confront the [[HeelRealization truth about what he'd done]].
