Happy Holidays, Anne!

@boonchuy

I am eternally grateful to have gotten even closer with you and Azel this year!! I couldn't be happier to call both of you two of my best friends. You are such a kind person with a really fun energy, and I appreciate all of the talks we have! I love how we can just goof off and be ourselves around each other with no judgement at all no matter what (girlis who love gougar <3). You're also extremely talented; I love seeing your art improve and grow, and your writing is just SO good. Whether it's your takes about media we consume or your fics, I really enjoy reading it!

Thank you for being such an amazing friend, I can't wait for more fun times with you next year!

Happy Holidays, Molly!

@malasadashopping

kickin this off with the absolute love of my life! i still cannot fathom we've known eachother for almost 7 years now -- it feels i've known you my whole life before even meeting you and we were just meant to find eachother, kin lives or out! we share so many close sourcemates and always will consider you "mine" for each of them, even if "somebody else is," or memories don't match etc etc! it's comforting and i dont have to know any other way! BUT ANYWAYS. ive never felt more happy and secure with anyone i do you. you've been here for my worst days, my best and inbetween, and stayed by my side no matter what. you always know what to say even if it's to reassure me or make me laugh. i appreciate you more than words can say.

i love you so much, and can't wait for more wonderful years ahead with you!

(Letter from Henry to Alex they firstly posted on 2020, written in cursive)

Alex,

There are years, and have been for me, during which the holidays become a long, lonely walk through a dark wood. Perhaps something irreplacable has been lost. You stand before an icy path listening to the sound of bells, but you can't recall how to follow them. Even if you could, last year's coat wasn't made for this cold. And why should it be? You don't know the person who wore it any more than you know how to walk toward that damned ringing. You can't remember a hearth, or a warm hand, or the smell of cinnamon and ginger- or, you can, but you can't bear it, so you tell yourself that you can't.

But there are also years that feel like a fresh snow. The first one of the year, an early, unexpected rush that knocks all the yellow leaves down. It's strange to feel a beginning here, but I do. God, I do.

I love you for a thousand reasons and in a thousand ways, but today in particular I love you because I can't wait to wake up on Christmas morning. I want the entire horrible, embarrassing ordeal- crackers and pudding and scratchy wool sweaters (And yes, I will even consent to those matching ones. I am that thankful.) I want new traditions with you, and because they will be by your design, I am confident that they will be ridiculous and sacrilegious and wonderful. I want to crackle across the radio with a Christmas address that is only and itemized list of your holiday sock collection, beginning with the ones that have Father Christmas in a cowboy hat on them.

Put your chin on my shoulder, love. Climb under the quilt. Remind me what joy feels like. You do it every day, darling- shouldn't be too troublesome for you.

Thank you for meeting me in the wood.

Thank you for leading me home.

Happy Christmas,

Henry]

Secret Santa gift for my friend @offsidekineticist. Happy Holidays! 💕☃️💕

I hope you know I had to enlist the aid of both Ophenia and Woljif to piece this story together. Oh, that reminds me—(Siavash digs in his vest pocket and produces one silver bracelet, twelve gold pieces and a Chelish noble house signet ring)—with Woljif’s apologies. No questions asked about the ring.

I hope I got the main story beats right enough for art.

The half-orc druid I eventually tracked down in the Aspodell mountains told me Qweck was involved, but even my utmost attempts at diplomacy couldn’t prevent Qweck from slamming the door in my face, so I’m not sure where she fits into the story. There was also apparently a dinosaur? Or a golem made of dinosaurs? Anyway, here it is, as promised.

(He takes a sip of mulled Andoren wine and gives you a wink as he begins.)

🎶 The Ballad of Bellflower Hellfire 🎶

The Devil went down to Cheliax, she was lookin’ for a soul to steal She was biding her time at the scene of the crime In a gem that was magically sealed When Gil came across that necklace, offering vengeance and serving it hot And the devil grabbed hold of his heart in her claws And said boy lemme tell you what I guess you’ll do ‘bout anything to give them slavers their due And if you vow to serve me now I’ll lend a hand to you Now you’d make a damn fine Bellflower, boy All I ask is a soul or two I’ll bet the slaves you’ll free are worth that fee And it was true for all he knew And so the halfling set about with the fury of Hell in his hands Without a regret started paying his debts Freed his folk from their iron bands (Chorus) Gilly sharpen up your wits and fight that devil hard Cause Hell’s broke loose in Cheliax and the devil deals the cards And if you win you get the peace and freedom that you’re owed But if you lose the devil gets your soul Twas a rainy night in Brastlewark and Thay sat with his book And he heard the sound of rustlin’ around and went to have a look There stood Gil ‘bout to catch a chill And Thay in his distress, said come on down, you look half drowned And bundled Gil up good And thus began the heart-bond ‘tween the halfling and the gnome In the shadow of Thrune their sweet love bloomed, over cocoa snug at home (There’s a break with romantic picking, then a shift to an ominous chord) Til one dark day the news reached Gil that made his heart stop cold The iron glove of Hell came down and crushed all Gilly’s hope The Hellknights came, they were taking names, Mister Theo was their prey Gil shed tears of grief and rage - the Rack had taken Thay And Gil like Hell’s own vengeance on the wings of dragon black Rained down on Rivad fury and fire and laid to waste the Rack The only reclamation that was glorious that day Was Gil who stormed the citadel and rescued poor dear Thay (Chorus) Gilly sharpen up your wits and fight that devil hard Cause Hell’s broke loose in Cheliax and the devil deals the cards And if you win you get the peace and freedom that you’re owed But if you lose the devil gets your soul Thay in gloom of dungeon hoped for nought but Ph’rasma’s grace He held his ground, made not a sound as tears fell down his face The Rack had wrought their cruel work and yet his lips were sealed All he cared to pray for was an end to his ordeal When a signifier’s shattered mask was tossed between the bars And Theo raised his eyes and hope rekindled in his heart A little short for a Hellknight, Theo said through tears of joy Though they were trapped within the citadel the righteous would destroy In a desperate race for freedom the heroes stumbled toward the gates Paladins and Hellknights laid the citadel to waste As knights closed round Gil stood his ground o’er Theo’s tortured form As in his breast the fires of Hell let loose in violent storm (from this crescendo the tempo slows, becomes soulful) When Theo felt the heat of Hell and raised his heavy head And saw that Gil had rescued him but damned himself instead With failing limbs he lifted up and braved the flames of Dis To wrestle Gil from the Devil’s grasp and free him… with True Love’s Kiss (Chorus) Gilly sharpen up your wits and fight that devil hard Cause Hell’s broke loose in Cheliax and the devil deals the cards And if you win you get the peace and freedom that you’re owed But if you lose the devil gets your soul
