Description
Here we have a nice group photo of Team Phantom in order to wish everyone on DA (or at least all the Danny Phantom fans, at any rate) Happy Holidays. I know, this pic is pretty late to the dance, but considering this is my first time drawing pretty much everyone on this page except Danny and Sam, there was a lot of guess-and-test involved. More than once, I actually felt like scrapping the project and trying it again next year. Still, when all was said and done, I'm glad I went ahead and finished it because I'm quite pleased with the end result.So basically, here's the scenario. Being that the holidays have come around again, once more, "the fight" rears its ugly head between Jack and Maddie. And no, it looks like they can't even let it go for 10 seconds to take one lousy picture. Under past circumstances, this would no doubt drive Danny up the wall. But he's seeing things a little differently this time around, seeing as how he has something now that he never had in the 14 years previous. Namely, a loving girlfriend in Sam, who's bound and determined to see her guy have a Merry Christmas, even if it KILLS them (and by "them", she means everyone else, not her and Danny).
For this picture, Tucker has chosen to opt for his mayoral top hat, rather than his traditional beret (mistletoe or otherwise). After all, to him, a photo op is a photo op, even if it's just for private use. Meanwhile, Valerie, who is still a little unsure as to just where she stands in this group, is just trying to go with it.
And oh yes, Danielle is there, too. For those of you who are not quite current with my Danny Phantom fanfic series, Danielle is living with the Fentons now. After their latest encounter with Vlad (in which Danielle was used as an unwitting pawn), Danielle's existence has now been brought to light. But the Fentons, feeling a sense of responsibility to her well-being, use Tucker's mayoral connections to fast track an adoption for her. And Jazz, for one, couldn't be happier as she throws herself into having a little sister with her typical zeal. While Danny still means the world to her, ideally, it's just easier for a big sister to be a role model for another girl. And after seeing snippets of Danielle's tomboyish nature, Jazz admits that she has got a lot of work ahead.
*Whew!* Was that long-winded or what? Still, I couldn't help myself. Considering how long it took me to get this pic together, it just means a lot to me to see it up. Hopefully, even though the holiday season has almost completely passed us by, it can make you feel the same.

Aaron, I have a question. While many do say that Danny got a rough deal in "The Fright Before Christmas" due to many people treating like his holiday grumpiness was unwarranted, many do think that Ghost Writer's response was understandable and that he was trying to teach Danny a well-meaning lesson. If Ghost Writer does reappear in your stories, how do you intend to portray him?

Well, right now, that's a VERY big if.ย I just don't think I have the strength to do an entire story in RHYME.ย As for the Ghost Writer's motivation for what he did, let me put it this way.ย His intention might have been to punish Danny and teach him a lesson...but I very much doubt that it was done out of the goodness of his heart.

Hey, you know what would've been just as good a Christmas episode besides "The Fright Before Christmas"? A DP version of 'A Christmas Carol' with Clockwork playing the role of all three ghosts of Christmas.

BivGalPanAndRaa In reply to TuxedAaron [2015-12-13 14:55:22 +0000 UTC]
Well, since everyone in the episode was likening Danny to Scrooge, I would guess him. This isn't a story idea. I'm just saying that if they could've used 'A Christmas Carol' homage in place of 'The Fright Before Christmas', both involving Danny's holiday funk.

TuxedAaron In reply to BivGalPanAndRaa [2015-12-13 17:11:07 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, but I'm trying to distance myself from that.ย Especially when I want a Christmas fic to involve Sam doing everything she can to make Danny's Christmas a happy one.
Besides, I honestly think that "The Fright Before Christmas" was Butch Hartman trying to distance himself from that idea as well.ย Because let's face it, the whole "Christmas Carol" thing is just so cliche at this point.ย I mean, *pff!* come on.ย It was cliche 20 years ago.

True, but it's still a good story.
Anyway, I know an idea like that won't work anymore for Danny since he's all but gotten over his holiday blues. I was just commenting that I thought the idea would've been just as good a Christmas episode as 'The Fright Before Christmas'. But you do raise a point that Butch might've considered the idea played out.
Btw, if you've got time to get one out, what kind of Christmas themed pic would you be drawing this year?

TuxedAaron In reply to BivGalPanAndRaa [2015-12-13 20:11:26 +0000 UTC]
Actually the Muppet Christmas Carol movie was pretty good, especially with Micheal Caine as Scrooge, because he totally played it straight.
Well, I wouldn't say that Danny's over his holiday blues.ย He WANTS to get over it, but that's probably not going to happen until he experiences an actual MERRY Christmas for once in his life.ย And you know that Sam's gonna try everything she can to make that happen.
As for a Christmas-themed pic, well, like I said, I don't really have an idea for one.ย But if I can get out that Peter/Gwen pic I want to get out and make it winter themed, then it could pass as both Christmas AND New Year's.

It would be so funny if Team Phantom ended up meeting Santa Claus, to which Jack would probably gloat "Told you so!" to Maddie.

Well, I've always thought of sticking to the FoP incarnation of Santa Claus in the DP-verse.ย I can't help thinking that would work on some level.
Of course, if you've seen that show, "The Librarians", they have a really cool variation on who Santa Claus is (and he's played by Bruce Campbell, no less!)

BivGalPanAndRaa In reply to TuxedAaron [2014-12-25 18:08:15 +0000 UTC]
Haven't seen "The Librarians". If the DP version of Santa is like the FoP incarnation, where does he get the power to deliver presents? Incidentally, Santa could be the one to bail Danny and Sam out of that problem you have them facing.

Well, I haven't seen much of it, either, but what I HAVE seen is interesting.
Well, my thinking is, if Santa WERE to come into play, it would most likely be a DP/FOP crossover thing.

Are you going to make an x-mas story, I know it would be past due, since you went from Halloween with "Royal Occupation" to Valentine's Day with "What She Want's", but I'm just curious.

You know, looking at this pic, it's hard to believe how much Team Phantom has grown since it began. It started off with a half ghost hybrid and two sidekicks, then along came an overprotective sister, then a former rival and two scientists were added in, followed by one of mentioned sidekicks being promoted to partner, and recently, they recruited a tomboyish clone. It reminds me of the Straw Hat Crew of One Piece. You had no idea how it would grow when it originated, and it's STILL not complete.

Actually, I have been giving some thought to eventually doing such a pic. However, in the interests of timeliness, I decided to leave that pic until closer to Halloween. But with any luck, that'll end up being one of the pics I work on when I take my traditional week of vacation at the beginning of October. So be patient. I promise, it will be well worth the wait.^_^

No, this particular picture isn't from any fanfic I've written. I'm actually still trying to come up with a good Christmas idea for my DP series. But it was the Christmas season at the time and I really wanted to get some holiday-themed pics out there. Hence this little number.
Still, I didn't hesitate to take the opportunity of using the pic to illustrate where things have gotten in my series right now. Namely, Valerie being an official member of Team Phantom and Danielle being adopted by the Fentons, so she's now a member of the family. And I've still got a lot more to go in this series, fanfic-wise. So if you've been following my fics, stay tuned. There IS more on the way. And it's going to be GOOD.

Who's to say? Best guess, it probably started when Jack and Maddie celebrated their first Christmas together, which was most likely when they were dating. But I'd say that based on where they are right now, it no longer matters when it started. It's like hillbilly feuds, getting to a point where it's simply a natural state of being.

TuxedAaron In reply to Witch-Medusa [2011-03-14 14:28:26 +0000 UTC]
It's "The Fight". Every year, at Christmas, Maddie and Jack break out of their usual lovey-dovey couple routine to engage each other in an every-waking-moment war as to whether or not Santa Claus actually exists. Jack's hat alone should indicate which side of this debate he's on. Meanwhile, Maddie, who's all facts and figures on the subject, dismisses the Jolly Old Elf as a scientific impossibility. This argument has caused Danny to be rather grouchy around the holiday season, as he has been humiliated and/or traumatized every single year of his life as a result. But with Sam showing some love and support, maybe things will get a little brighter for him.

I don't know. He did seem genuine remorseful for his actions in Dark Danny's timeline, and his downfall after blackmailing the world did seem pretty close to that.

TuxedAaron In reply to BivGalPanAndRaa [2015-12-14 10:37:07 +0000 UTC]
Maybe...but at the part where he tried to kill Danny to break the loop, did he do that to save the world...or just to save his own neck?ย Get back everything Dark Danny took away from him and have his life restored, only with no Danny Phantom around to muck up his plans?
As for "Phantom Planet", well, we've seen this before, just done more humorously.ย You know how the jerk has to help the good guys...only until he sees a way out for himself, at which point, he shows his true colors and tries to run off, shouting, "So long, suckers!".ย But then he can't get out, and so he has to trudge back, head down, with his tail between his legs, and try to weasel his way back into the good graces of the heroes...usually ending with him getting punched in the face or something.ย "Phantom Planet" just took that concept and played it straight instead of for laughs.

Though in regards to TUE, I always thought that Vlad momentarily considered destroying Danny, but decided to help him return to his own time instead. Since the scene ended on a suspenseful note, that is a strong possibility of what happened.
