I'm recovering from a 9 hour drive and I remembered that the first major dpxdc fic I ever read was cassandra cain/danny phantom, and i thought I would doodle something for this weekend event~~🥰
I don't have time to draw the other two prompts, but please know that I love these two!! They are one of the many underrated ships of this fandom!!!!!🥹😤😳
The first rendition of a Cass/Danny Weekend Event!
This is a three day event to celebrate the DCxDP pairing of Cassandra Cain/Danny Fenton— also known as Dead Silent —through art, writing, and anything else you could imagine!
In the coming days from now to April 30th there will be a launch of the rules and a FAQ, along with a series of fun facts about both Cass and Danny to be revealed!
On May 1st prompts will be dropped and everyone will have a whole month to plan and prep to your hearts content.
Then from June 6th-8th you can release your creations into the wild!
Spirit World is a story that focuses on Xanthe Zhou, a nonbinary Chinese hero with the ability to travel between the land of the living and the land of the dead, colloquially known as the Spirit World. In the official comic collection it covers the story from Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate and Spirit World #1-6, wherein during a fight with an entity known as a Collective Cass was caught and dragged into the Spirit World. The pathway that connected the land of the living with the land of the dead was severed, and Cass was trapped.
Below the cut will contain spoilers from the comic, so proceed with care accordingly.
The Spirit World is a place where culture and death and magic all combine together in fantastic ways, though not without consequences and pitfalls.
Of course not everything in the Spirit World is out for a piece of fresh meat.
And then there are those that simply enjoy benefiting from the havoc that follows.
This particular encounter with Shen reveals what occurred after one encounter Cass has had with her mother, Lady Shiva. Though in more recent comics it seems that Cass and Shiva have been dancing around a less antagonistic relationship-- though still a far cry from anything resembling a loving mother-daughter relationship --many of their earlier encounters were explicit fights to the death.
In Spirit World we catch a glimpse at Cass' brief interlude in the afterlife after one such fight, before Shiva revived her via the Lazarus Pit.
So now Cass has a connection with the Spirit World and a new danger arises as an even larger Collective begins to control her body to attack Xanthe.
Overall Spirit World is about grief, love and memory, and how all of those things bridge the gaps between living and dead.
We hope that this short glimpse will encourage everyone to take a look at this comic and enjoy it as much as we do; and that it's provided much inspiration!
The Spring Lantern Festival marks the end of Chinese New Year celebrations and the first full moon of the Lunar New Year. Lanterns represent a number of things, from peace and reconciliation, to unity and family, and also prosperous beginnings for the new year.
The festival in Hong Kong consists of several events and activities:
Lantern Displays; For an entire month displays are lit and the public get to roam and enjoy the sights. These lanterns are very colorful and take on many shapes and sizes. Themes vary from year to year, but there is a good chance you can find auspicious such as goldfish and pomegranates, and even zodiac animals.
Lantern Carnival; This includes things such as musical performances, acrobatics, folk song and dances, dragon parades and lion dances!
Lantern Lighting; Some Lanterns will contain riddles with words of wisdom or fortunes for festival goers to try and solve. For some the ambiance of all the colorful lights feels quite romantic, and some have also referenced the atmosphere as similar to Valentine's Day.
We hope today's little blurb has inspired everyone! 'Til next time!
Today prompts are released, and on June 6th our weekend event will begin! Our prompts are based on three themes: Location - Activity - Lyrics. Included below will be a text version of the prompts along with a link provided to the songs the lyric portions are pulled from. (Special thank you to @die-erlkonigin6083 for helping with the prompt images!)
We'll be releasing some more teasers intermittently throughout the month, but until then have fun with preparations and don't hesitate to drop an ask if you have questions. We can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Day 1:
Hong Kong | Lantern Festival | "I raise my hand, as if to show you that I was yours."
Day 2:
Spirit World | Street Food | "I fill up the void with polished doubt."
Day 3:
Historical Sites | Masquerade | "I can't help but be wrong in the dark."
Today we're going to take a dive into the potential of historical sites, starting with the Infi-Map!
The Infi-map is a near-complete map of the Ghost Zone, including all of the natural and man-made/artificial portals that connect it to Earth taking it's user to the human realm or Ghost Zone, but some portals also lead to different places in time. An object of legend, the Infi-map is said to be able to lead a person to their destiny.
Anyone can get into and out of the Ghost Zone with it. It also serve as an address book/map "for a bazillion ghosts". The map also changes as the Ghost Zone changes.

Some notable locations that Team Phantom have traveled to:
Salem, Massachusetts 1600's (this is also where Blood Blossoms were introduced.)
The Colosseum in Rome
China, possibly during the Wanli Era due to Vlad terrorizing Ming Monks, which could be a reference to The Four Eminent Monks
No location was given when Vlad tried to sabotage the Wright Brothers' test flight, but the year they appeared in was 1903, which could have placed them at Kill Devil Hills, where they were testing powered flight.
Of course this isn't to say that the Infi-Map is the end all be all for possibilities regarding the prompt Historical Sites. Historical aus, other time travel shenanigans, even modern encounters will count-- The sky is the limit!
There's less than two weeks before the event launches! See you then!
