So, I was reading this post by @modordracena about DP AUs where ghosts get swapped out for some other kind of monster. Absently, not intending on creating anything, I started thinking about Danny as different fantasy creatures – and, somehow, my brain got stuck on centaurs.
Which, not the worst idea, right?
[Image description: A greyscale drawing of Danny Fenton as a rearing centaur, grinning and pumping a fist victoriously. The fur of the horse half is black, with a white sock on each leg. The background reads, in large letters, "Half human, half horse." End image description.]
But then I started thinking... The halves are there, all the time, connected. Unlike with for example werewolves, there is no transformation happening. Danny is stuck with the horse half.
How does he hide it.
I ended up creating something after all:
[ID: A drawing of Sam, centaur Danny, and Tucker. Sam and Danny are freaking out about Danny's horse half. Sam gestures at his legs and says, "Holy shit you're a horse!" Danny yells "I'm a horse!" Tucker, smiling, corrects them: "A centaur!" End ID.]
[ID: Danny is anxiously jumping from foot to foot, which makes Tucker step out of the way with a "Whoa!" Danny wails: "My parents hate centaurs! What do I do?" Sam looks at him thoughtfully and says: "Hm... I might have an idea." End ID.]
[ID: A box in the upper left corner reads "Soon:" Danny is looking down at himself with an uncertain grimace. An obviously handmade horse head has been connected to his front. It has a mane made of yarn and its eyes are green buttons. There is a bright green saddle where Danny's human half connects to his horse half. A boot has been put into the stirrup, with a fabric fake leg coming from inside it and wrapping around Danny. All in all, it kind of looks as if Danny is a human riding a horse – only he is sitting on the base of the horse's neck instead of on its back, and his legs and the horse's head are obviously not real. Danny asks: "Are you sure this will work?" A speech bubble from Sam's direction says: "Of course it will!" A bubble from Tucker's direction says: "Not like we have better ideas!" End ID.]
[ID: Bird's-eye view of a street. Danny is standing in front of the Fenton home. He is wearing the disguise from the previous panel and contemplates the stairs that lead to the front door. End ID.]
[ID: Carefully, Danny enters. He is too tall for the door, which makes getting in even harder. Someone yells his name, which makes him hit his head on the doorframe. Maddie is looking up at him with an angry expression. She asks: "What are you doing?" End ID.]
[ID: Danny looks at the horse head and sweats nervously. He sweats even more as he looks to Maddie and gestures at the head. Uncertainly, he says: "Riding a horse?" End ID.]
[ID: "Obviously!" Maddie tells him, and Danny stares. Maddie continues: "Why are you doing it indoors?" End ID.]
[ID: Maddie looks away, shadows covering her eyes. "And..." She looks up again, and she is smiling and her eyes are huge and sparkly. She has a hand on her heart. "When did you get into riding?" she asks. A text with an arrow pointing to her reads: "former horse girl." End ID.]
She's so happy that he's found such a nice hobby for himself

a brand new comic! so soon? not really- this one has been in the works for about a year! it would have taken much much longer if not for my life saving friend @mierolainen who did ALL of the backgrounds. I am so so grateful and you should definitely check out their blog for some truly wonderful art!
you can read the entire comic HERE on my zero profit website FULL SIZE or you can keep reading it under the cut! Fair warning: it’s a whopping 33 pages long! Hit J to skip if you open it by accient and want to blast past it okay.
I hope you enjoy it and all the love that went into it- if you do, go check out the original official duck comics I love them very much and half the reason I make these is to get people into them! :D

[ Link to survey ]
The ninth annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2022.
After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, retweet this tweet, boost this Mastodon post, check out this post on Reddit, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks like Facebook. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 44,000 responses last year.
Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.
Thank you so much!
