Day 4: Sharing

Pairing: Severus Snape x Fem!Reader

Summary: In where Severus is reminded that it's almost the first Christmas he and [Y/n] will be sharing and he goes to try and make it special

Tag(s)/Warning(s): fluff fluff and more fluff

Word Count: 1.3K

A/N: And in something totally different once again! Here is a short little fluffy fluff about Snape and his almost first Christmas with his beloved [Y/n]. (See @deepperplexity i do know how to use the prompts in non unhinged ways are u proud of me 🤣🤣?)

The streets of Hogsmeade was filled with the bustling crowds of witches and wizards doing their holiday shopping as Christmas rapidly approached meaning that people were in a tizzy trying to purchase gifts for their loved ones.

And of course a treat for themselves.

Cheer and glee were on the faces of almost all of those who were bustling about spreading warmth in the cold air with just their attitude. All except one person named Severus Snape, who seemed to have had enough of people bumping into him as he tried to maneuver his way as swiftly as possible away from the crowd.

He should have known when he went out looking for a present for [Y/n] that he would face the tiring challenge of people. Yet he had been so caught up with preparing for the coming semester and his own experimentations that he had lost tracked of time.

And when she had brightly told him that she was excited that they would be sharing their first Christmas together in only a few days he realized he had proverbially dropped the ball.

On the outside he was his calm and collected self, agreeing with her as he was truly looking forward to sharing the holiday with someone other than himself. There was a small part of him that hated to admit that it in the past it was a bit lonely seeing all the people merrily celebrating.

Even when the Hogwarts staff tried to romp him in to their holiday shenanigans he was quick to get away not at all wanting to be invested in whatever they were up to. It was a way of punishing himself, as someone like him didn't deserve to have fun. Didn't deserve to have happy things because of what he had done and what he had caused.

[Y/n] though was having none of it when she came into his life. And he was grateful for it.

But he digressed.

That was on the outside, calm and collected as he usually seemed now and days. On the inside though he was quickly listing the things that he knew she adored and began to make a plan.

Oh yes, he would do his best to make sure the first Christmas they spent together was as lovely as his [Y/n].

First was to her favorite bakery where he was unsurprisingly met with a large line of people queuing up and waiting for their turn as it seemed that everyone had the idea to come at the same time.

An annoyance absolutely, but at least no one dared to talk to him while they were in line as he glared at anyone who seemed to want to make conversation. 20 minutes had passed and he had secured her favourite treats which included some pumpkin pasties that had extra holiday flavour in them as he had been told.

He had no idea what that meant.

A few cinnamon rolls that were topped with an abundance of sweet cream and a few more savory mini pastries that he knew she fancied.

Next was a trinket store, that she always gazed at when they walked passed though she never went in, only saying she didn't need more knick nacks laying around.

Well it was Christmas and what was wrong with a few more especially if the were useful and brought her joy.

So he went in expecting to find nothing yet he ended up coming out with a set of colour changing ink and quill, a trinket box for her little collection of rings and earrings in that played music while opened and also could sort the items for her. That aspect he found interesting thinking about what charm was placed on it to get it to do so.

And also he may have bought some dusty looking spellbook that he had never seen before which intrigued him along with self labeling potion bottle that showed what ingredients were in it.

Huh who knew that shop had so many things.

Pleased with his purchases he barreled his way through the crowd ready to finally be at home exhausted from all the pushy witches and wizard. Walking quickly to an alley way off the beaten streets of the village he took inventory of what he had making sure nothing was crushed or missing. Once he made sure everything was where he wanted, he apparated silently back home where [Y/n] was sitting in his wingback chair reading.

Well, that was until he suddenly apparated into the middle of the sitting room.

"Severus Snape! Merlin's beard!" she shrieked almost tumbling out of the chair being startled half to death by him. "I thought you told me no one can apparate in and out of the house? You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

His lips turned upward in a smirk at her words as he watched her get up from her seat and stalk up to him with a small pout.

"Hm yes I do remember telling you that," he answered matter of factly, leaning down and brushing his lips against her forehead causing her to grumble, "though I may have left off that I'm the exception. I did live here for years after all."

Pressing his lips against her forehead in a chaste kiss, he moved down and kissed her nose, before hovering over her lips waiting for her to move.

"You're the worse you know that," she mumbled shaking her head before closing the distance and kissing him showing him that she wasn't angry just startled.

"Mhm."

He kissed her softly before moving to her cheek and kissing her there making her giggle as he pulled away.

"Your lips are so cold darling here go put all those bags away," she started pausing only when she saw the amount of bags and being yet again surprised. He said he was going out potion ingredient shopping and from the looks of it he had bought the whole stock of them. "And I'm sure it'll take you a while Severus did you go on a shopping spree without me?! Oh never mind I'll make us some tea it should be done by the time you've sorted it all out!"

Without another word she was off leaving Severus with a pile of bags not even suspecting that most of the things were for her.

When she had come back out of the kitchen tea floating behind her she was surprised once more when she found a plate full of her favorite snacks sitting on the little table in between her chair and Severus'.

He had paid her no mind when she had come back, acting as if he was reading the new book her had purchased yet he was keenly aware of her presences. It was only when she had sat the tea down did she take a look at all the snacks that were waiting for them.

"Severus?" His name came out shyly as she wandered to his side making him put his book down and turn to look at her.

"Did you buy all of those for me?"

Her eyes twinkled in the warmly lit room and he nodded.

"Mhm I passed by the bakery you always go to and decided to stop by," he answered coolly as if he hadn't been squished in the shop when he got in. "Hopefully this is a good festive start to our almost first Christmas together?"

Grinning at him, [Y/n] leaned over the arm of his chair to plant a kiss on his cheek overwhelmed with excitement as she skipped over to her own seat. Plopping down she poured them both some tea and happily partook in one of the pasties groaning happily at spiced pumpkin filling.

"It's an excellent start darling," she beamed. "Thank you!"

A rare smile, well not so rare for her, appeared on Severus' lips at how happy she looked as she bit into the treat and he felt as happy as she looked at the thought of the cheer to come. It was nice to share such a time with her thought before going back to his book and relaxing in the ambience of the warm room and his warm love.

A/N: see i am capable of using the prompts normally! see you guys on day 7 prompts! (she's taking a little break to avoid writing angst 😌)

Happy April Fool's Day, Boston Dumb Fuck! But then it is no longer just a day for you anymore, is it?

You really gave it the office over the past few years, haven't you? Made a joke of your life, your family, friends and fans and look at where it has gotten you.

In honor of this most sacred of days, let's take a quick look back down Untrustworthy Lane, shall we?

You saying you loved love in your SMA article, then taking this massive dump on it. That was awesome!

Also saying you hated yourself in the same SMA article. Too bad no one close to you believed you or intervened. Maybe this mess could have been avoided

Your then fake girlfriend, now fake wifey, crashing the Thanksgiving family celebration at Disney World, where you pretended to be creepy niece-creepy uncle. I am sure your family laughed and laughed at that one

Tried to convince us jump scares were cute beyond brothers and could be easily staged

Also thought it would be fun to hide a misogynistic snuff film behind a dumb chin puppet video

Tried to trick us into thinking being good at Mario Cart was a noteworthy feat, and being bad at it was worthy of derision

Proved Valentine's Day is a joke by releasing a few handfuls of unflattering photos, plus some obvious photshop fails and even 2 or 3 photos that had absolutely nothing to do with the day of forced love. The joke was on you, however, since all that accomplished was to murder so many lady-boners it doomed you to only finding pleasure in your own hands, or perhaps a realistic fleshlight, for the foreseeable future. But you are a big "alone guy" so that should suit you well!

Extending this shameful stunt to the "Ghosted" premiere. That was a double whammy- the little racist, clout chasing twit thinking she was going to walk the red carpet and Ana and Dexter thinking they could save that festering turd of a movie from further embarrassment. Are they still talking to you after that prank?

Orchestrating two ghost kinda ceremonies using only vague descriptions of locations and pictures from family and friends in the vicinity of possible kinda locations, including a very real and special birthday party for a young lady that was probably ruined, but all in the name of a fun manipulation, right? Pepper in some online quotes about getting mentored by RDJ (he's doing a bang up job, by the way), as well as a line in the online version of the disaster of all disaster interviews in GQ, (that if people truly cared, would have put a 5150 hold on you and your dissociated life) and voila! Sham marriage complete.

Continuing with the joke-in-and-of-itself ASP. I mean, having a discussion on antisemitism where your guest chides those who normalize this behavior, just as you shove that poison ring in the camera, symbolizing the unholy union between you and the Nazi wifey. Great job, man!

Almost as good as you wearing the colors of the Nazi flag for your red carpet debut with your charming anti-semetic "bride", fake kisses and all

The best jest, however, was you not even getting to catch up with your more successful friends at the Vanity Fair party because you and that prize woman of yours were shuffled off immediately to the pick up line to be taken home, alone to your fleshlight

But you should be used to not getting into parties. There was the pathetic loitering in front of the CAA and UTA pre-Oscar bashes, but the best prank on yourself had to be the SNL Christmas party, where the wifey recreated the bratty niece look from the first pap walk and you tried to drive a wedge between one of your best friend's marriages (at least Colin has gotten in some good jabs at you on the show), all while the two of you probably were hid away in a dimly lit basement room for 20 minutes, then let out a back door to go home, alone to your fleshlight. And Alec Baldwin and his wife were actually invited. That's gotta hurt!

And just recently being called a "car enthusiast". More subtle than some of your other hoaxes, but still hilarious!

Now I don't know if you signed onto this because of duress or the promise of something great (hopefully not the Gene Kelly movie, because that was never going to fly- that was another trick on you, and even if it was miraculously offered to you, after this, it would not be a good look playing a male chauvinist who preferred young women).

I am sure you have had your fun, but let's hope this time next year you will have long hung up the jester's hat and become a real life boy!

#Skinny Falstaff #Ai I'm human form #What the fuck are you doing?#You are the company you keep #Learn how to make better decisions #The unhappy idiot #is your mom still proud?#You know you burned it all down right?#Things need to change #was it worth it?

Day 11 - Gokuderas reaction to being gifted a cryptid plush like a cute mothman the size of his head. No particular reason, his s/o just saw it and immideatly thought of him.

Okay, but you can bet your ass that I actually had to go and google to see if cryptid plushies were a thing and I got myself lost down an Etsy rabbit hole looking at all the creepy cuteness. Definitely need one of these in my life, haha. Thank you so much for sending in such a fun ask and introducing me to these! It was also really fun and cute to imagine this for Gokudera, so I hope you’ll enjoy the headcanons, my dear!

Gokudera is someone who does just sometimes randomly pick up gifts for those he cares about, just because he thinks those people will like the thing or because it reminds them of him. However, he’s never someone who expects that those around him, his friends or lovers or family, would ever do the same for him. It just doesn’t compute in his head that anyone would think of him that much when he’s not around, so he doesn’t ever consider people doing that for him.

He expects gifts from his partner on his birthday, on Valentine’s, and on Christmas and that’s it. Little just because’s? Completely unexpected any time they happen but honestly, when something like that happens, it really means a lot to Gokudera.

He’s surprised, pleasantly so, but he’s also so completely unsure of how to respond. So, when this happens, his partner hands him a huge bag with this surprise gift in it, he kind of just stares at it for a couple seconds too long. He’s not sure what to say, not sure what to do really. His face looks surly, but surly is far from how he’s feeling and it’s really just his default expression when he’s trying to work something out in his mind.

He definitely does mutter a quiet thank you, but he definitely does loudly say that they really didn’t need to get him anything. Again, he’s just so awkward because he doesn’t know what to say and he feels a little bad to have people he loves spend their money on him. It means the world to him that his partner was thinking of him, but is he really worth them wasting money on him? He wonders about that. Besides, he doesn’t really have anything he needs, he’s pretty good at taking care of himself and between him and his partner, they live a comfortable enough life. Does he really need more than that? Wouldn’t it be a little selfish of him to want more?

Anyway, when he finally figures out or is urged by his partner to actually open the gift, he rips past the tissue paper and pulls out this gigantic Mothman plushie, like at least as big as his head and he just stares at it for a good minute or two. He’s blinking and holding it, his hands kind of squishing it in and out because it’s really soft actually and he likes that.

And then he grins. Like this huge, almost so big it hurts because he’s not used to smiling that much, grin.

Okay, I’ll openly say – Gokudera normally hates plushies. He thinks stuffed animals are childish and doesn’t see the appeal. He doesn’t own any, didn’t think he wanted any.

But this? This just hits him right. It’s cute, yeah, but what makes it the most special is it shows that his partner really embraces all his interests, including his interest in the occult, and encourages those parts of him. He’s used to others slightly making fun of that part of him and it touches his heart that his partner not only doesn’t do that, shows interest in it, and embraces that weird aspect of him in this way.

He definitely starts talking about mothmen and all the lore and history on them and kind of starts almost lecturing to his partner about it, but it’s all because this is something that makes him happy and he’s got to talk about it because there’s a mothman in his hands.

He doesn’t really know what to do with the plush though and in the end, it probably ends up sitting on his couch, kind of like a throw pillow that one or the both of them cuddle here and there while relaxing on the couch.

Hello! First just wanna say that your archive here is godsend, I started and finished the serie a few days ago (a lil late for the fandom but oh well), and on the same day that I finished I found here, I am no we're near nor have read every fic here, but that didn't stopped me for not sleeping that night.

I was wondering if you have any recommendations for fics about Crowley and Zira rasing Warlock, not Adam, as theirs. It could also be that they took Warlock in after the failed apocalypse. Just just something nice about these two beings and the child they helped raise.

Thanks!! 💕

Hello and welcome to the fandom--it’s never too late! You can find loads of fics that’ll interest you on our #kid fic, #warlock dowling, and #the dowling years tags, so check those out. I have some here, at least some of which will have have recommended before, but we have been asked for kid fic recs a lot already so repeats are gonna happen...

Correspondence by satalderihannsu (G)

Warlock Dowling has kept in touch with his beloved nanny from his childhood. They send each other Christmas cards every year. This year, however, contains a longer note than usual.

Some things are worth believing in (Including you) by Phoenix_of_Athena (T)

“Warlock,” Nanny had said, and cupped his face again, “I want you to promise me something. I want you to promise me something, and it might seem odd, but I need you to do it, okay?” “What?” said Warlock. “Just promise me,” said Nanny. “I promise.” “Good,” she’d said, “Now, if you ever—and I mean ever find yourself in a situation like this again—one that seems scary, or one where any normal person would be in danger—I need you to pray. Pray to Aziraphale or to Crowley to come and get you.” “Who’s that?” asked Warlock. “Just promise me,” insisted Nanny in a voice like iron, “Aziraphale and Crowley. Can you repeat those names?” “Y—yeah. Azif—Aziraphale and Crowley.” "Good boy."

At Least It's a Decent Shelf by dragonimp (T)

“Then why?” Warlock jerked back and struck at him. “I turned eleven and you were suddenly just gone. And then Megiddo happened—” Aziraphale caught Crowley’s eye. “Ah—” “Well—” “You see—” “Long story—”

Almost Familiar by MickyRC (T)

Warlock couldn't help being a little underwhelmed by Soho. There was nothing there that really struck him.

Except that bookshop. That weird little street corner that didn’t match up at all with the bars and clubs all around it. That place was interesting. The paint was chipping, and the windows were too dusty to see through, but it felt… safe, sort of. A calm little patch of quiet at the center of London’s hustle and bustle. Something about it was… almost familiar.

In which Warlock thinks he's been abandoned, Crowley and Aziraphale think Warlock is dead, and they all find each other anyway.

My Dearest Warlock by Sassyandsarcastic15 (T)

Biological family doesn't always mean everything. Biological family can hurt you, break you, mock you, or leave you. Blood doesn't always mean everything. True family isn't defined by blood, but rather by true love that can never be taken or forsaken.

Warlock Dowling was more than happy to receive the news that Nanny Ashtoreth and Brother Francis are willing to take him and raise him as their own. Although, he did receive a rather large shock upon learning the identity of his former nanny and gardener. But that doesn't really matter, all that matters is that Warlock has the family he always wanted.

With adventures that only God could have though up and romances that have been boiling for centuries, the small little town of Tadfield is in for an awakening that no one expected. And sometimes, the unplanned things are the best.

Ground Control by nieded (T)

In which Crowley kidnaps the Antichrist as a baby--or so he thinks--and ends up with Warlock instead. Basically, I wanted a story where Warlock got a happy ending. Here it is.

Or: Aziraphale closes the shop earlier and earlier until they’re spending all day together, every moment. They take Warlock to the art museum and have a Star Trek marathon. Warlock loves The Next Generation but still reserves a special place in his heart for Spock from the original. He hangs a poster of the Vulcan next to David Bowie, his stern face in direct opposite to the cocked hip and flair of the rockstar. They go good together, though, the spacemen. If they lived a different life, Crowley thinks, he’d swoop Warlock up and take him to the stars. He’d show him Alpha Centauri, a system comprised of two large suns in orbit around each other, and a third circling them both.

That’s you, he’d say to Warlock, and the other is Aziraphale. He’d point to the two stars in the centre drawn to each other. And that’s me going around you both.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Ah, my dear @cilil has tagged me, and I'll try to do at least one Tumblr thing today. I had hoped that I'd have more time this weekend!!! This week was madness...I swear!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

391 (and yes, I am one of those who put between 7 and 133 different ficlets into one work to keep the number of individual works down).

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

1,800,713 (this does not include 2 longfics I've orphaned and several fics I've posted anonymously)

(but I've been writing since July 2021)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Tolkien, roles played by Richard Armitage, roles played by Adam Brown, the odd Dean O'Gorman fic for @laurfilijames, 1 Lucifer fic...)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Tumblr Imagines (it's a collection of ficlets from when I started and has over 200k)

October 2022 Ficlet run (Yeah, as I said, I don't post all my fics separately)

Black (Local folkore meets The Hobbit retelling

Silm imagines and ficlets (Again, a 50k+ collection)

"The only way is up" or "thrice stuck" (Smutty dream sequence with Thorin)

These are mostly my first writings which had had time to amass some few kudos :D

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Always!

It takes me a while sometimes, but I need people to know how much I love and appreciate their support! I love every comment, and I truly wish I was a little better at expressing myself when it comes to these things <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I honestly do not remember...Probably, Love letter to the man you've never got to be.

I usually don't do much angst 😇

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Very hard to say because I don't finish too many of my long fics lol. I'd want to say Sticks and stones (Christmas Hallmark story)...it's just that kind of story.

My TRSBs are usually "Happy End given the circumstances" rather than all-out Happy End...lol

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thus far, no.

I am not relevant or known enough to attract that kind of attention!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Me? No...(There have been spicy scenes in long fics, spicy fics, outrageous ficlets, Kinktober, Dead Dove December, MSV...Ok yeah, I do...and I do all of it. M/F, F/F, M/M, M/F/M...from vanilla to whips. You choose, I write)

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I am an AU bitch. I've done a HP drabble once...Les Mis/LOTR for last year's Christmas event...it happens...

Right now? Twilight Crack parody for a good friend :D

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so? Who would steal trash?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nobody has ever approached me...

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes...Once for last year's S&D, I am doing it now for the Calendar fic...I love collaboration, what can I say?

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Ship-ship? Russingon.

OC ship? Ori x OC

Rarepair? Nerdanel x Anairë

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Black - It's one of my first fics...and I've never written that last chapter.

I am also known for having written chapters and chapters of other longfics but just...never posting them lol

16. What are your writing strengths?

I am fast, I am versatile, and I am willing to write almost any character, dynamic, ship, and genre. From tooth-rotting fluff to noncon. From very vanilla M/F meet-cute to kinky sex.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I am bad at punctuation. I rarely have an outline, I just write. I do not plan, I do not come up with complicated worldbuilding, I have exactly 0 HC documents.

I just write whatever comes to mind.

Moreover, I have a real problem with posting. I write A LOT more than I post...because I just can't motivate myself to reread LOL

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I avoid even Tolkien's languages for fear of getting something wrong. I am fluent in at least 3 other languages, but I am not entirely sure whether there would ever be a place for them.

If I did that, I am afraid that it would become incomprehensible as the only one I wouldn't use is my mother tongue. It would sound a bit...magniloquent...

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Tolkien. Only fandom thus far...

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

I don't know. Every so often, I write something I don't hate, but I can't remember right now loool

Open tag for everyone who hasn't done this yet :D

Tell me something about yourselves!

Almost all of them have happy endings, I couldn't possibly pick!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really, thankfully.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes. .... occasionally... spanning quite a range of femslash.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Yes, though I wouldn't call them crazy. I like writing AUs of other worlds, i.e. Liv/Helen versions of Chess, Bodyguard, Lord of the Rings, Tár, Hijack, London Has Fallen... But actual crossovers would be writing Happy Valley/Collateral together (cause it just makes sense!). I also once wrote a pretty mad crossover of multiple Big Finish ranges (8DA, Gallifrey, UNIT, DoRS, War Master...) and put them in the Land of Oz so that was fun.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so and hope it stays that way.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No. I could translate them myself into German but don't really see the point when most people read English anyway.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yeah, done quite a few with @calunalilly now, like our most recent project, a Doctor Who-Lord of the Rings AU :D Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Liv Chenka/Helen Sinclair. There is no contest. 179 of my fics are them and will continue to write for them!!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Years ago I had started a Liv/Helen Hogwarts AU The Shape Of Things To Come but as it's since become unacceptable to engage with that content anymore. I doubt I will get back to it sadly which is a shame cause I hate leaving something unfinished but alas.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue I think? Seems to flow very easily but action too, I think, when I want to take the time for it. I'm always surprised afterwards with how exciting it is :D

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing enough grounding around the dialogue. I have to remind myself to do that half the time.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

If there is a point to it, sure, but not just to show off you speak multiple languages lol.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

That's a tough one... there are a lot I am very proud of for different reasons.

A Numbers Game for probably being my biggest achievement to date in terms of length and complexity. I spent so much time on that fic and love it!

What The Future Holds packs such an emotional punch, I cried writing it. And it's the only way I can make sense of the ending of Stranded and fix it properly.

The Bodyguard and the following sequels just work so so well as an Alternate Universe, I'm super happy with how it all came together and it just works.

But I think, overall, my favourite thing I've ever written and that I'm proudest of is Romance In D Minor. Just in terms of how well it's written, I've really thought about it, structure, pacing and it's just- Yes. It's the one.

Tagging some people I think might be interested but anyone who sees this and fancies it, please fell free! @calunalilly @meluisart @sircarolyn @elizabethshaw @serenbex

The Walt Disney Home Video logo that wouldn't leave...

youtube

While the image of Sorcerer Mickey in this pose, with his hand out, next to the words "Walt Disney Home Video" had existed in print form since at least 1980, the motion graphic logo the lot of us '90s-borns all know wouldn't debut until September 1986. It first appeared on a random assortment of live-action Disney movies that hit shelves at the time, such as TEN WHO DARED and NO DEPOSIT, NO RETURN. Many more tapes released for a then-massive "Bring Disney Home For Good" campaign followed in mid-October, many of these releases containing this iconic logo... Some of these releases included the first ever volume of "Disney's Sing Along Songs", a couple of classic cartoon short compilations, and a clipshow called JIMINY CRICKET'S CHRISTMAS.

And Disney's home video department would keep it in circulation for a looooooong time in North America...

By early 1995, it was but gone internationally. All of the international arms of Disney's home media division replaced the Sorcerer Mickey intro with this rather cutesy, childlike "Disney Videos" logo that - to my knowledge - made maybe a fleeting appearance here in the states.

youtube

Here in the states (and Canada, too), the Sorcerer Mickey logo stuck around for a bit...

By the middle of 1992, the much simpler gold WDHV logo was more commonplace on VHS openings:

youtube

And yet, the older, longer logo was still in use... Sometimes it would be on the same tape as the gold logo!

The logo's appearances began dwindling by the mid-1990s.

In 1994, the logo would appear on all the first Masterpiece Collection releases, before the proper Masterpiece Collection logo was created and immediately showed up afterwards. (For example, I have two VHSes of the SNOW WHITE release. My September 1994 printing has the Masterpiece logo, and that was a month before release date.) Was the logo an eleventh-hour decision or something? THE RETURN OF JAFAR has the '86 logo, too, I think this is the only direct-to-video animated film to have it.

By 1995, it seemed like the destination for the Sorcerer Mickey intro was Sing Along Songs volumes, compilations of episodes from various Disney TV Animation series, that series about the puppy SPOT, and random WINNIE THE POOH VHS tapes. Almost as if it became synonymous with those titles and lines. You also had some sorta-kinda Cartoon Classics VHSes, like "Mickey Loves Minnie" and "Sweetheart Stories"... That stuff came out from '95 to '97... Masterpiece Collection tapes sometimes used the gold WDHV logo, sometimes they didn't. Ditto live-action movies and other releases. A few Sing Along Songs releases, titled "Collection of All-Time Favorites", debuted in 1997 featuring the logo but with the Sing Along Songs intro music playing over it.

Surprisingly, in 1998, the Sorcerer Mickey intro showed up on the Masterpiece VHS of MELODY TIME. And even more surprisingly, on the VHS of RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN'S CINDERELLA, the TV movie starring Brandy. (In fact, there's an upload of a TV airing of this movie well after it had initially aired on ABC. The channel broadcasting it ripped the film from the VHS, so it opens with the WDHV logo.) It also appeared on a Sing Along Songs volume called "Happy Haunting Party at Disneyland!" Disney also had the home video license to SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK at this time, a couple volumes released around this time have it too.

In 1999, a re-release of A WALT DISNEY CHRISTMAS had it, in addition to the Sing Along Songs volume "Flik's Musical Adventure".

In 2000, A WALT DISNEY CHRISTMAS would see a re-issue of sorts that had it as well, plus the re-issues of a series of WINNIE THE POOH VHS tapes called "Storybook Classics".

Lo and behold, the logo made one last appearance in 2001, but this seemed to be by accident?

Two Sing Along Songs titles were re-issued that year, the 'Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah' volume (which was the very first title in the line, all the way back in 1986) and 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. The former seemed to cut-and-paste the Sorcerer Mickey intro from the 1986 VHS release, as it still uses the "presents" byline that sparkles in below the logo. Weirder still, an ooooold bumper for the series with Ludwig von Drake as the announcer is on this tape, too. A real cut-and-paste job for a 2001 release. Whereas the Christmas one seems to have cut-and-paste the WDHV logo from the 1993/94 release, which arrives after a series of early 2000s previews and bumpers. It's surreal seeing that logo share a tape with the surround sound-like "Feature Presentation" bumper of the era.

Someone at Walt Disney Home Entertainment must've really wanted to keep this logo around!

It even made appearances on DVDs (!) in 2006 (!!)... But, in the case of one DVD release, this seems to be by mistake. MY DOG, THE THIEF, after you click play movie on the menu, begins with this logo. It must've been left on, suggesting that this was a rip from the then-latest VHS of the title. Some of the Sing Along Songs tapes saw DVD re-issues in 2006 as well, and some of their programs begin with this logo. Almost as if it's treated as part of the overall program, even though it's merely a general home video intro that appeared before several other movies, shows, and titles...

But perhaps the weirdest appearance of this logo in the 2000s...

Was at Disney Parks resorts...

Back in the mid-to-late 2000s, TVs in the parks' resort hotel rooms had something of a hidden channel. It was like, 99 or something, if you kept flipping. You'd be brought to a nonstop loop of classic Disney short cartoons, and this was a trip to see! I saw some shorts for the first time via this channel, such as ALPINE CLIMBERS and THE AUTOGRAPH HOUND. But, watch it a little more... And you saw this logo show up!

Before what, you may ask? The Disney Sing Along Songs volume 'Heigh Ho!'

It took me by surprise when I saw it on that channel, while staying in Walt Disney World in April 2007... That was just all kinds of wild to me!

Elsewhere, a channel called Fearnet would sometimes air the live-action television film MR. BOOGEDY, complete with the Sorcerer Mickey WDHV logo attached. MR. BOOGEDY was never given a VHS release here in America, so I assume Fearnet sourced the movie from a UK VHS release.

It just lingered and lingered... For a good reason, though, it is the probably *the* logo that is synonymous with Disney VHS tapes for Americans around my age.

The love you gave

Rowaelin month day 7: Holiday celebration @rowaelinscourt

Not every holiday is always full of happiness. Sometimes they're shadowed with tough decisions and sadness. I had a rough day today and I wanted to write about it. And it practically wrote itself. This is a bit different to my other writing, and more personal too.

So, I offer you a holiday fic without any dialogue, with four Christmases and some good times, some bad times. The ending reflects heavily on my day today - it is very sad, at least to me.

The love you gave

It was Christmas when Aelin got the puppy. Not necessarily as a Christmas present, but Dorian knew Aelin had always wanted a dog, and when he had heard about the puppies needing homes, he’d gotten one for his friend.

And Aelin loved her new puppy, Fleetfoot.

Fleetfoot was such a funny little puppy, eating the Christmas tree and some of the garland hung around Aelin’s home. The dog brought so much life into Aelin’s daily routine; it was almost as if she finally knew what it was to live.

The Christmas celebration was one for the history books that year. Elide had brought in home-made cookies using her mother’s recipe. Turns out, Fleetfoot ate everything. The cookies were gone before anyone had the time to say ‘Merry Christmas’. Some of the knitted mittens had teeth marks on them, and Aedion’s combat boots were gnawed on.

Everyone thought it was funny, she was just a puppy. So, they forgave and celebrated the Christmas together. Fleetfoot included.

Aelin ended the Christmas celebration in the same way she always did – by lighting a candle in the memory of those she had lost.

Aelin also had met someone that year, funnily enough thanks to Fleetfoot. The dog had escaped one day while on their afternoon walk, and had ran straight to this extremely hot stranger. Who by now is no longer a stranger. Rowan Whitethorn, with his gorgeous silver hair and wonderful green eyes had stolen Aelin’s heart with the first glance. Some say it was fate that they met, but Aelin knew better. It was Fleetfoot. Maybe Fleetfoot was employed by fate, who knows.

By the next Christmas, Fleetfoot had grown to a full-sized adult dog, but her energy levels hadn’t come down one bit. Aelin and the dog had created a perfect routine throughout the year, starting with a long morning run. Exercising kept Fleetfoot relaxed enough so life wasn’t too hard with the ever-energetic dog.

It was going to be Aelin’s first Christmas with Rowan, and he would join Aelin and her friends in their celebrations. He fit into their group of misfits perfectly. He brought his cooking skills to the table and created a feast for them all, making everyone comment how incredible he was, and Aelin better keep him around.

All in all, the Christmas celebration was a success. If you don’t count the end of it all, when Fleetfoot got violently sick and was hurried into the veterinarian for emergency aid. Turns out she’d gotten too greedy and eaten the rest of Elide’s cookies again, but this time the cling wrap covering them had been eaten too.

Luckily the dog was taken to the vet on time, and everything ended up being okay.

Aelin was happy that Rowan was by her side through it all. He stood as a silent support, making her eat to keep up her strength and helping her with the daily routines.

It wasn’t long after that, when Rowan officially moved in with Aelin and Fleetfoot. Rowan quickly joined their morning runs and became a staple in exercising the dog. Fleetfoot was still extremely energetic and always ended up in trouble. But now Aelin had Rowan to keep her wits whenever Fleetfoot was found in random places, having destroyed something else. They had become this nice little unit, the three of them.

Rowan had a plan. A plan that included a wonderful atmosphere, their friends and Fleetfoot. And what a better day to make it happen than Christmas, when it was guaranteed everyone was going to be there. Rowan had been planning each part of the surprise for weeks beforehand, making sure everything was going to go smoothly. He’d even gotten Fleetfoot the special collar and taught her to come to him when a special word was said.

When the time came, Aelin was laughing in the middle of her living room while Rowan was spinning her around. The music changed. Rowan stopped. Aelin kept laughing. Everyone else stared in shock. Aelin finally figured it out – Rowan was down on his knee.

When he popped the question, Fleetfoot materialised. The dog had been carrying around the ring all day, and no one had noticed.

Aelin said yes. Many were crying, including Rowan.

That was by far the best Christmas yet.

The following year brought many good opportunities. Aelin got promoted, and her work schedule ended up becoming more irrational. They made it work, however. With the promotion also came more time off, and for the first time in years, Aelin found herself traveling with Rowan and Fleetfoot.

Ironically, traveling brought onto them hard choices.

When they had visited a farm, Fleetfoot had enjoyed it tremendously. So much so, that she hadn’t destroyed anything, hadn’t escaped once and had actually stayed inside the fences. She had some dog friends there too, so the trip was magnificent for Fleetfoot.

It had been good for the couple as well, but their decision brought a touch of sadness.

Maybe… Maybe Fleetfoot was acting out because she was unhappy. Or not exactly unhappy but more like missing something from her life. She needed a better way to live. Aelin and Rowan couldn’t offer what she needed to her.

So, just before Christmas that year, Fleetfoot moved to a new home.

It had been the hardest decision Aelin had ever made. Losing something is awful. Painful. Makes one grieve. But making the decision to give something – someone – up, that is losing something on a whole new level.

The grief is there. But so is non-stop hurt. Aelin couldn’t stop rethinking everything, regretting giving Fleetfoot up. What if she had made a mistake? The guilt was eating her alive, and if it weren’t for Rowan, she would’ve given into the sadness.

The Christmas was hard. Aelin didn’t want to celebrate that year, didn’t want to put up decorations. So, it was just her and Rowan that year. The two of them and Aelin’s candle for the ones she’d lost. And a separate candle to celebrate the three magnificent years she had had with Fleetfoot.

That Christmas, Aelin let her thoughts wander. She kept thinking about Fleetfoot. If there was something she could’ve done differently.

She knew she had made the right choice. Fleetfoot’s new family loved her, cherished her. They had more to offer than Aelin and Rowan did. She had doggy friends, acres of land to run on and so many places to discover.

Thinking about Fleetfoot being happy brought a smile to Aelin’s face. A small smile, but a smile, nonetheless. She would continue to be sad; she would miss her puppy for a long time. But she also felt relief at knowing that Fleetfoot now had all she deserved and more.

Maybe next year they could celebrate Christmas again. But not yet. Now, she would thank Fleetfoot for the love she gave.

A letter to the one I said a very sad goodbye to today:

I made one of the hardest decisions of my life to give you up. But it was for your own good. I wanted you to have a better life. You weren’t completely happy with us. We couldn’t give you what you deserve.

But they can. You now have a new family. They will love you, cherish you more than I ever could. They will be with you every day. You will have the friend you need every single day. You couldn’t have that here. I’m sorry I couldn’t give that to you. We tried our best, but our best wasn’t enough for you.

So, I’m letting you go. It doesn’t mean I don’t love you. It means I love you too much to let you suffer the half a life you were living with me. You would think it hurts less knowing you’re alive and happy, but it hurts just as much.

Thank you, Merlin, for the most amazing three years of my life. I wish the rest of your life is filled with endless love and all the carrots you deserve. You taught me so much and gave me so much love. You brought joy when I felt down and I always could count on you. I wish you happiness with your new family, they are awesome.

Hey Emma, so I'm really struggling with this bg bullshit. I'm at a point where I can't excuse this behavior anymore. The kid was flown out for the second year in a row to spend xmas with strangers in a foreign country. I'm sure he is treated completely well but it's still so shitty. And what's worse is that I totally believe it was Louis' request. Every reason I can come up with for bg still going on ends up falling short.

Contract? - get a good lawyer and get yourself out of this mess or breach the contract and face the consequences

Closet? - that's what eleanor is for and if eleanor wants out get a new low key one instead of using a child, or better yet don't even have one. I think 10 years of stunting is more than enough to cement your closet

Career - it's doing absolutely nothing for his career so this one makes less than zero sense to me

Harry's career and popularity? - this one I think is the least likely but if it's a contributing factor I think it's incredibly unhealthy and shitty for harry to be okay with it and for louis to be this self sacrificing

All this being a means to an end? - I can sort of get this one but also think it's wholly unnecessary and stupid

If you had to guess and based on your gut what do you think is the most likely reason for it still going on?

Also on a side note, I think it's difficult for fans to not have certain expectations and hopes and dreams when it comes to Harry and Louis (both individually and together) and it's just really upsetting and frustrating to watch things unfold in certain ways when you know in your gut things could be SO different and SO much better if only other choices where made.

Anyway sorry for this long message. Appreciate you even reading it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I won't pretend to understand it and at this point, I don't think it's for us to understand. What I do know is that it's not doing Louis any favors with the general public or his fandom. I'd say like 70 percent of the fandom hates it (and not just Larries - I've seen many solos, including those that think he's a dad, who are tired of his personal life being promoted more than his music) and the rest may think the photos are cute, but they wouldn't miss it if it was gone either.

Louis' life and career continue to be baffling to me - and not in a way where dismissing everything I've seen and starting to believe he is in fact a dad and dating Eleanor would make it any less baffling. In my opinion, it's bizarre and disjointed and makes very little sense whether you believe the public narrative or not. His words frequently don't align with his actions or the actions of those around him. His successes continue to be owed almost entirely to massive efforts by fans, not efforts by his team. His personal life continues to be pushed at the expense of his music. None of these things help him.

And so, the mysteries continue and we just have to watch. I try not to let myself get angry or upset about it because I just don't have the energy anymore and there's really no point. Quite frankly, I think the "fans" who wait for things like this to happen and immediately unleash vitriol toward Louis and talk about how he's chose this life and deserves it and is a bad person and a flop should walk away from the fandom. I don't know why people like that are still pretending to be a fan of his if they think he's a terrible person.

We don't actually know any of these people and we don't know the motivation for any of the choices they make. I won't pretend that I like seeing any of this stuff either, but I have the ability to recognize that Louis is making choices in a context that I don't and never will know. We may not like or understand his closet, we may think all of this is unnecessary, we may think all of this is hurting him, we may think it's gross, and we may be right about some or all of that - but his closet and life are his, not ours. It's easy to judge from the outside.

I will always love Louis and hope that he will one day be able to live the life that he deserves, but I can't make it happen for him. So I'll enjoy his music, I'll believe what I believe, and I'll hope that one day, he will have the life he deserves. That's all any of us can do.

This Week In "Time & Again" #11: Still Colouring, And Some Distractions

So... I have a few internet-posting goals for the close future. I know that I keep saying that all the time, but - since I'm an interwebs hermit, and I've been this way for, like, at least 10 years of my life now (and I have zero regrets 😁) - going online to post something takes an enormous mental effort from me. This is probably what happens when ageing, too. Every time I think about that, I just feel like those dogs from the funny videos who are being scolded for doing something their two-legged companions do not appreciate. So, basically and in a nutshell, this is my face when I think about going online to post stuff:

(source: https://makeagif.com/i/UyVZCW) And after all... why would I distract myself from work anyway? 😁 However, I really want more people to get acquainted with Lothar and Jeanny, and Edgar, and Winston, and Beatnik (oops, giant spoilers), and Daniel (oops, even more spoilers), and all of those other weirdos that our violent lovers meet on their strange path towards happiness (hopefully, because, truly, sometimes it's very difficult to say). So this is something that must be done eventually, so I will persevere😁💪 Rolling up my sleeves already!

Anyways, we know that Valentine's Day is coming! And I already have an artwork prepared to be uploaded very soon. Since in December last year I skipped a Christmas and New Years artwork, breaking my own good tradition and ever so slightly ruining a nice progression in the completion of my "2023 Pre-Christmas To-Do List", I figured I really should not delay with this one. And after all, everybody likes a little bit of spicy to set the mood for the upcoming Valentine's Day 😉 (and most of my Valentine's Day artworks are usually nothing short of "spicy" 😁 well, because they have to be that way).

I also made a totally random artwork, because I wanted to practice drawing certain something, a design element I would love to incorporate into my art style - so I came up with an idea to draw a parody of sorts. And it makes me really happy. It felt... rather refreshing. It gave me extra energy and happiness that I could use to continue working on the colouring for the actual chapter. Working so hard on the chapters of "Time & Again", I almost forgot how it feels to draw something random. Or something out of canon. Something simply for the fun of it. Many years ago most of my artworks used to be random and they were dedicated to random, various things and sometimes people. It was good. Now, since "Time & Again" to me is no less that a self-invented job (yeah, pretty much, for better or worse), I almost never do random funny and cute arts anymore, nevermind my greeting cards store had no updates from last year whatsoever... "Time & Again" might sound like a sort of obsession - but that is merely because I really, really, REALLY want to finish it up as soon as I can, because everyone should know what happened to Lothar and Jeanny and how they manage. Even if the confusion about the timelines still persists - but it's twice as fun this way! 😁

A fun observation: there's something in Lothar that I absolutely hate colouring! And the thing is absolutely essential to that particular dirtymouth individual! And the thing is... His glasses. Don't get me wrong! I love his glasses, the way they match his appearance, and that tiny bit of extra sexiness he magically acquires when wearing them. But dear goodness gracious, boy do I ever hate colouring them! 😤 It usually takes me at least 3 layers (lineart inclusive) to colour them, and then I have to arrange all the layers in the proper order. If the rest of the colours - including the skin and the clothing, but excluding special shiny/textured surfaces, if present - take me only one - ONE! - puny layer to make everything as it should be, then the glasses alone - that effing pathetic piece of... accessory! - take at least 2 layers of colouring. 3 with extra shine. Duuuuh. And they appear on every each panel with Lothar, because he wears them all the time. Geez, man! I hope sometime in the future that hot yet disgusting guy gets himself a pair of smart contacts with the built-in voice activated UI overlays. I'm sure he's rich enough to afford such a gimmicky thing. That will free me from a lot of extra work!.. (imagining things? entertaining my designer's hunger? foreshadowing? who knows?!?!;)))

... Which lead me to another one thought about the simplification of the colouring process. You see, with the colouring the way I do it, there's a lot of "automatic" work that is not really creative, one might say. I just need to fill the certain areas of the lineart with a certain colour and remove all the unfilled pixels afterwards... which is just a process of clicking, selecting areas and colours, and filling those areas with the right colours. And it's... kinda tedious. And monotonous. To be 100% fair, it's getting old fairly quickly. Now, shading and adding lighting effects is totally different. But filling the areas with the plain, flat colour prior to applying the shading... is incredibly "mechanical" to me. And my idea was... an AI program to do that. YES, YES, I KNOOOOW YOU'RE EITHER TURNING YOUR BACK ON ME NOW OR DOING THE ROBERT DOWNEY JR. MEME FACE after hearing (reading?) what I just said. I know the whole world just split into 2 groups of people who say either "AI yay!" or "AI nay!". Because, well, you see, human beings really enjoy disagreeing with each other, so there always has to be a reason (says I, cynically). My experience with AI is fairly limited as of now, but as a computer nerd - and a wife of yet another one computer nerd, for the full picture - the new technology mesmerizes me. I was shocked when ChatGPT named me the game I had trouble remembering the title of simply by my extremely vague (and partially wrong!) description - and it did it right off the bat, from the first try. I was utterly mind-blown. We've already heard a lot about AIs ruining the artists' works and yada yada, and we're not gonna touch this topic right now. But since AIs are capable of manipulation with the visual material, then why not teach it to automate the rather tedious processes in creating art while still keeping the essential "human" involvement intact? I would definitely use some nice program to automate the "select and fill, rinse and repeat" part of my work on Chapter 5 and potentially all the future chapters. An algorithm that would recognize the characters by their facial/bodily features and automatically colour them according to the colour scheme I created earlier (so, no random green hair if the character is blond, and no brown eyes if the eye colour must be blue, for example). Or something along the lines of that. Dammit, that would really make the work of the human artists so much faster whenever needed! I vote for this! I will hope from now on that somebody makes me a Krita extension with such a functionality now 😁

Deary me! I can't believe this actually happened! Sorta!.. I think this might be potentially the shortest blog post that I've written IN YEARS!.. Wowza! Apparently I can do that when I'm not trying, haha (but isn't it always this way?..😑 come to think of it, shopping works this way, too: when you're looking for something specific, you can never find it anywhere around!)

Sorry, no gifs today (aside from the funny dog one above). Moreover, when I looked into my screenshots folder, I have discovered that I did not take any this time while I've been working on the colouring like mad. This is sad, perhaps... So let me fix this! Here's a random screenshot that is very difficult to unsee, and it makes me super, super happy - especially considering what's actually happening in the story while Lothar is so... high? (would that be the right word in this situation? 🤔 man, sharing screenshots of random panels from the comic out of context is fairly odd)

... And now, I disappear into my little and comfy tree hollow, ruffling my feathers, so that I could work more on Chapter 5. Gotta make it stellar, after all! So I need more time in my tree hollow! Silky smooth! (ok, I start to get carried away associatively, so I better stop. Bye! See you soon in the next update!.. ah daaaaw, the next blog post! 👋)

Trans Cindy Lou Who (Grinch, 2000)

Once upon a time in a town like yours and mine lived a group of people who were just fine. The people called the Whos loved Christmas a lot even the Grinch who formally did not. The Grinch tried to steal Christmas from the Whos he did. He stole all the gifts for which he tried to rid. He almost or so he thought but he learned Christmas does not need to be bought. So now he loved Christmas as much as the Whos no longer did he have the Christmas blues. He had little Cindy Lou Who to thank for changing his ways leading him to have much better Christmas Days. The little girl was only around six but she did a wonderful job on his heart she did fix. She was just a normal little girl like any other in town she could turn any frown upside down. But soon he would learn that Cindy Lou was not like other girls you see for there was a time in which she was once a he. For this story is about when Cindy Lou became the girl she is now so sit back as you'll learn just how.

The Grinch was helping Cindy Lou's family take down the Christmas declarations. Christmas was over which left many people sad. Though at least a new year was ahead so they were glad.

“Off you go!” The Grinch said tearing off a wreath. “You too ugly!” He said to another one. “Sorry lights but you were really running the electricity bill!”

“Be careful, Grinch!” Lou Lou Who said.

“Don't worry!” The Grinch yelled back. “I've got it all over conTROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL” The Grinch slipped off the ladder and grab the lights for support. He swung like Tarzan down we went.

“Abort Abort!” The Grinch yelled. One by one the staples holding the lights on the roof came off and the Grinch swung to a tree he was about to hit it when he said.

“”Why me.” The Grinch hit the tree and fell on the ground. When he did he made a weird Grinch sound. The Who family helped him and brushed the snow off his chest and they all agreed it was time for some rest.

“We've been out here for a while. How about we all go in for some hot cocoa.” Betty Lou Who suggested. Everyone cheered for that and they went in. Max was lying by the fireplace in the den. So they made some hot cocoa The Grinch had a marshmallow.

When Lou have it to him The Grinch called him a fine fellow. So there everyone sat Lou, Betty, Stu, Drew, Cindy, and The Grinch too who was know a true who.

“I'm happy you got to help us take the declarations down Grinch.” Cindy Lou said. “It's always sad doing to but you made it better.”

“Why thank you, Cindy. I did have to rearrange my schedule. Including yelling to the heavens at 4:00 but it was worth it. Don't be too sad Christmas will come next year.”

“ I know, it's just, Christmas is my favorite time of the year. The declarations, the snow, everyone is cheerful.”

“Except for the retail and postal workers. They're usually in a bad mood.” The Grinch cut in. Cindy laughed and rolled her eyes. Though she supposed those weren't lies.

“I love it all. It's also a very special time for me. Christmas is when I became my true self.”

“What do you mean?” The Grinch asked the young Who. But before she could answer she was called by the wife of Lou.

“Cindy. Can you help me take the declarations off the tree?” Betty asked.

“I'll see you later.” With that the girl ran off leaving the Grinch wondering what she was about to say but it didn't matter for he was still going to find out that day.

“She's a wonderful daughter isn't she?” Lou sat by the Grinch with a hint of pride he was going to tell the Grinch his daughters secret there was no reason to hide.

“I suppose helping save Christmas is considered wonderful, yes.”

“She's also very special. It's because of Christmas she is Cindy. You see Cindy was born a boy.”

“Come again.” The Grinch said.

“Cindy used to be a boy until last Christmas. We always knew she was different from our older boys or any others in town. She was just so... girly. She cried when we tried to cut her hair, caught her in Bettys clothes, and she asked for dolls by the time she was just 2. Even though she was only 5 when knew she was special.”

The Grinch was listening to the story being told wondering what else was left to untold. “Transgendered” Lou called it when someone doesn't feel the gender they were born never did the Grinch feel a word was so foreign.

“Last Christmas she wrote a letter to Santa. She told us she wanted it more than anything but wouldn't tell us. Before she mailed it Betty and I read it. It said.”

“Dear Santa I don't care for presents or candy. I just want to be a girl. I want to be Cindy. “Love, Cindy Lou Who.”

The Grinch read it over and over feeling bad for the lass. He felt bad for her having to be a boy in class.

“Betty and I were shocked at first but soon it made a lot of sense. We weren't sure if Santa could do that so we took it into our own hands. We surprised her Christmas mourning by making her our daughter. We got her dresses, her new name, and a wig to wear until hers grew out. It seems Santa also gave her dolls and other toys. She was now Cindy Lou Who. Stu and Drew helped by keeping bullies off her at school. She was now her true self. That's why she loves Christmas so much. She became the girl she was inside.”

“Wow. You learn something new everyday.” The Grinch said.

“You're not upset?”

“Lou I'm a green thingamagig that lived on a mountain and hated Christmas. I'm not the definition of normal if you haven't noticed.”

Lou laughed. He supposed the Grinch was right. He did also make an unforgettable Christmas night. Cindy ran up to her dad and kissed up on the cheek. He laughed the lovable geek. She thanked him for being a wonderful dad . He was the best one anyone ever had. She also thanked the Grinch who was no longer a crook he thought of what happened on Christmas.

“That story could make a TV special or great book.”

FGO Summer Fest 2023 (Darkside)

FGO summer fest 2023 will be written directly by Lord Nasu. Most recent Servants are from Arthurian (Castoria, Morgan, Lancelot, Gawain, Tristan, Barghest, Mélusine, and Baobhan Sith).

I don't know which one to talk about first...

Maybe from Morgan who had a debate. Many were disappointed with Morgan because he was chosen exclusively as FGO's 8th anniversary servant, not just as a summer servant. Actually I was also expecting Olga as a servant, but in a recent issue of Famitsu it said that Nasu has no intention of releasing it yet. (Olga only for LB7)

But few people like this Morgan Caster (Tonelico). Its sweet and beautiful design in her asc 3.

Then there is Castoria summer. WHY IS HIS TOE COMPLETELY INTEGRATED? 💀💀💀

I don't know what the story will be like. But Nasu is very "ALL OUT" with the summer story this time.

Switch to the knights. Nasu might be crazy to include the PHH KoRT Trio and the FK Trio in the same plot. It is almost certain that they are the main characters in the story this time (along with Gozen summer and Chloe summer).

Some fans may find this interesting because there will be a lot of interaction between PHH KoRT and FK KoRT.

ESPECIALLY, Gawain and Barghest.

Confess! Who ships them both? 😂

At least it would be possible for Nasu to blatantly include it. They really look alike, Gawain who likes 'chubby' women, while the Barghest likes muscular and masculine men. Moreover, they already have one CE where they are in the kitchen together during Christmas. Bruh...

As for Tristan, I think the 3 chickens he has with him would indicate something more about Sir Palamedes than just 'Luluhawa Chicken'. As for Bao, she now has a huge hammer with Cern merch all over her (THAT'S CUTE). Will she have a lot of interaction with Tonelico who is the adoptive mother but the younger version? Hhmmm....

When it comes to leaks, maybe Bao will become an SSR servant. Let's wait.

What? Lancelot and Mélusine?

Really, I don't expect anything other than THEY COME BACK ALIVE (optional 💀).

What can I expect from them? Seeing their feelings torn apart seeing Gawain and Barghest happy together. Then there is an entity who takes advantage to take over their bodies and use their hidden powers arbitrarily to destabilize the entire world because they are mentally unstable and made almost completely insane.

If Nasu is clearly ALL OUT, he will surely torture Lancelot again. Actually I don't want Lancelot's trash jokes to happen again. Because during December 2021 until now, Saberlot's character seems to be fixed and starts eliminating that trashy aspect. Progress has been very rapid in those days until now. You can torture Lancelot, but don't give him those trash and cringy jokes anymore.

After all, do you want to be outdone by Genshin Impact which, at almost the same time, released the FONTAINE region? YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE, ARE YOU?

Fontaine cuk. Lancelot masuk situ auto jadi Hydro Archon cok. Ya kali klean mau kalah cerita sama mereka suuuu. 💀💀💀

COME ON, NASU. MOVE!

I talked about Lancelot and Mélusine more than anything else... 😂😂😂

One more thing that seems to be a sign of irregularities in the story later. Yes, the Saberlot costume itself.

Are my eyes hurting so I see Lancelot looking more and more like Kushina?

I don't know what Nasu has been thinking lately until Shimadrill draws him even better and cuter. I admit, this is actually a scary sign. The better Lancelot's design, the more FUCK OFF the story will be. Especially when Nasu is the one who wrote the story. Nasu's "All out" will be a heart-fluttering indication of Lancelot's role this summer.

Even his face that looks soft and polite is completely out of sync with his slutty costume and exposes too much skin. 💀

What the fuck Nasu...

I like his face better now, but I like his old summer clothes more. I'd prefer the fact that he was forced to wear it. (I hope)

I'll be discussing Mélusine when it's released later. Maybe on the day that Summer fest 2023 releases. I've actually been waiting for an Arthurian-themed event for a long time. That's why I can't wait.

a christmas present for my bestie and everyone else as well :D merry christmas!!

Never in the universities years have they ever had an omega on the basketball team, nonetheless varsity. It was a school wide shock, the talk of the entire school. Almost impossible to walk five feet to your next class without someone stopping you with a notepad, and writing you like you were the greatest thing since sliced bread. And after practices, there'd be crowds of students watching you, awestruck at how amazing you were and not to mention how perfect everything was about you.

There's a reason why you're on varsity, you put in the extra effort of making sure your body's in perfect shape for basketball season. The muscles in your arms and legs were enough to prove it, your strength was unmatched. You never back down without a good fight. Girls basically being thrown around whenever there's a jump ball you're included in. You're aggressive on the court, the ground- almost like a second home when you're diving for the ball, fighting for it to stay on your side. Banking shots left and right even stealing the ball all came with hard work and determination. You never stopped, even when you were tired you kept pushing. It's all easy to you, second nature some may say

You were an MVP.

Newspapers sold city wide showing you off as their star player, making other schools know exactly who you were. And they hated you, envied how you viewed the court with such ease. How you could run up and down the whole game without needing a break for water or to catch your breath. The way you were so quick and light on your feet was also something they dispised. How you could dribble your way into an open lane that was originally heavily guarded, an easy layup. Seriously, how you're mind worked was amazing. And yeah they hated you, but those teams also wanted you. Other girls wanted to be you.

Now hot in the season, the most recent game was a complete masterpiece and not to mention, the game that decides who moves on to the championships. Plays were successful, at least 81% of shots were made (Coach had a long talk with everyone afterwards). The score ended with an eight point lead and the after party was just as fantastic.

University students filled the frat house, beer cans and red solos in hand as they partied and celebrated the win of the boys and girls playoffs. Each hour more and more people would fill, joining in on the fun. Hell, even the coaches joined.

And as all that went down, you were upstairs with a not very happy Jaemin.

It was a tough game for him. The boys coach nagging and yelling at Jaemin for his 'sorry excuse of plays.' Coach has been eating away at Jaemins anger and pushing him any chance he could which caused Jaemin to put a lot of pressure on himself.

One mistake was all it took for Jaemin to stomp off the court after that time out was called. You recall chasing after him into the boys locker room, knowing damn well that Coach wasn't going to be happy with his behavior. There wasn't anything you could do to calm him really, he was stubborn and wouldn't agree on anything you said to him.

"That last technical was on me!" Jaemin yelled, kicking his water bottle to the wall in frustration. "And no its not fucking fine! Coach is gonna be up my ass for anything until we win."

You let out a sigh. "You're up by ten with barely two minutes left in the last quarter, Jaemin."

"Thats enough time for the other team to catch up." He got close to your face, backing you up until you hit a locker. His hot breath fanning your face with a look of bloodlust. "I'm costing the team two shots with that technical. God, I'm so fucking stupid."

Jaemin rested his head in the crook of your neck, clentching and un-clentching his jaw as he let your scent fill his nose. The smell so sweet that he only found comfort whenever he could sense it. Letting it linger and calm himself before he lifted his head back up, eyes focused on your hooded ones.

"You trust your alpha right?"

"Of course." You say with ease, his arm wrapping around your waist.

"Good. I'm gonna fucking need you later."

This led to where you are now. Sitting comfortably on Jaemins lap, his eyes shut. He wasn't sleeping just thinking of the game over and over as he played with your basketball shorts, hand sliding under the silk like fabric to skim over your thigh.

If only the school knew how you played off the court. Their favorite MVP omega would look so very different in their eyes.

To an omega, you can sense the vexation coming off of him. His vibe completely off and unsatisfied with the game that he couldn't come to a stopping point. However, his advances were obvious the more he hiked your shorts up. The more he danced his fingers along your hip ready to play, Jaemin had to relieve himself someway and he was heading in the direction he wanted the most.

"Alpha," You began, hand raking along his glistening abs, tempting to inch closer to his pelvic region. "The game was fine. I don't see why you need to beat yourself over it."

His hands fly to your ass, pulling you directly onto his soft clothed dick. "Don't try me. Coach is already screwing with me and I can't seem to make him happy. No matter how many times someone tells me I did good, he finds something to criticize."

You move against him with ease. Thick cock hardening with each stroke against his shorts, leaking precum against them. Plush lips opening with a sigh, eyes fluttering open to meet your movements with a groan.

"Coach talks shit to his favorite players, haven't you noticed? Still, the team won. That's all that matters in the end."

"But I did nothing to contribute. I screwed up." He growled.

Biting your lip, cock now growing against his stomach. Aching to be released, your finger running over the outline in thought over Jaemins words. There was an issue with how he spoke, like he was the only one on the team that needed to do anything for it to count as a good game. You despised it. The team wouldn't be the same without Jaemin, however there was no need for him to think just because he's an MVP, doesn't mean he has to act like one.

"You're so pompous."

"Pompous?! Because I know my worth?"

You shook your head, "You're an uptight player with no sense of the word team."

Jaemin poked his tongue to his cheek, fingers digging into the skin of your ass. His hand came into contact quick, hips stuttering from the impact with nothing more than a frown playing on his face. "I have more sense than a stupid omega that doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut. What good does this mouth do you anyway, other than getting on my nerves?" He tapped your cheek. Not strong enough to leave a mark, but enough to make your face move to the side.

"Don't humor me." You tug his shorts down just enough for his tip to peak through. The slick of his precum dripping just below his belly button. Your finger dipping at the salty liquid, bringing it to your tongue for a taste.

"Then keep your mouth shut like a good omega."

"No, I don't think I will." You say smugly, knowing the consequences when you don't listen. But Jaemin let you have your fun instead, chuckling at your innocent yet dirty voice.

"Its like you're begging to be ruined."

You smirk to yourself, hand rubbing his tip with little to zero ounce of gentleness. Eyes screwing shut, sucking the air in like a drug. Jaemin instinctively bucking his hips to get more than just friction. Leaning more towards desperation, his cock head now pink and glossy. Other hand pulling his shorts further down along with his boxers, lifting your hips to leave them around his ankles. Fat cock screaming for pleasure, your mouth drooled for a taste.

"Go on." He urged, "Taste it."

Jaemin tangled his fingers in your hair, dragging you to lick his painfully erect dick. Tongue dragged over the underside from his balls to the head. The salty precum leaving him more as you licked at his hole, more easily gushing out when he moaned. Collecting it all on your tongue from his lower abdomen, leaving nothing behind.

Adoration as he gazed, breath hitching when you wrapped your lips around him. Taking him slowly and inching yourself down, the stretch hurting your throat already on the verge of letting up. Head was pushed further along with his hips lifting to where your lips touched his stomach, a satisfying sigh leaving his mouth. Chuckling, he rested his head against the headboard. Keeping you in place, gag reflex rejecting the intrusion Jaemin put in you. Throat convulsed, shutting your eyes to not focus on the awful feeling, only trying to please the alpha.

Nasty choking sounds bounced off the walls, lucky the music and talking downstairs canceled any chance of someone hearing.

"Filthy omega mouth. Only good for one thing... and that's getting me off."

You moaned, sending vibrations up his shaft as a shiver went up his spine. Salivation pooling at the corners of your lips, threatening to spill any second. And that's how Jaemin liked it, messy. Other hand coming to smear the drool on your lips with his fingers, delicately bobbing you head so more saliva would drip from your chin and to his balls. And the more he continued, the harder it was to focus on breathing through your nose. Tears pricked at the corners of your eyes just from the sheer sense of not being able to breathe properly. Nonetheless it was wiped away with a single thumb. The hum from Jaemin- a content one at that, adoring you getting so messy. And all for him.

"So disgusting." He commented, still rubbing drool around your mouth as he released the hold on you, pushing you off.

Coughing and wiping your mouth, you sat back on his lap to catch your breath. Jaemin stroked himself with a grin. Urging you to try again, cooing at the way you unconsciously moved against his thigh. Your slick soiling the silk material as well as your underwear. Thigh now damp, warm slick doing nothing but making him bite his lip. A copper taste on his tongue.

"Do I turn you on this much, alpha? So needy and I hardly did anything. It's no wonder you needed me so badly." Still rubbing his cock, the crooked smile on his face had anything but amusement written on it.

"Do you enjoy being a pretentious pet? Maybe you don't deserve this after all."

"But I'm such a good girl." You fake pout, "I deserve it all!"

Jaemin rolled his head back. Eyes closing to continue lazily jerking himself off, swatting you hand away when you attempted to help him.

"Just watch if you wanna keep acting like a brat." He stated. His mouth opening, hand speeding up to get closer to his orgasm. The moans- obviouy fake just to grab your attention, even stopping you from any movement so you'd have all eyes on him and his throbbing cock.

Veins in his arms becoming more prominent as his hand tightened, the other lingering on your thigh.

Tapping his sticky tip, a string connected like he knew it was going to happen. Loving how you ate him up with such a harsh gaze.

"I wanna taste you."

Jaemin mumbles, "Thats not my problem, omega."

"But I wanna swallow your cum." So vile and shameless you were, Jaemin had to bring you near his lips. To feel something, or breathe in your scent. Possibly something else...

"Swallow my spit instead." Jaemin carelessly locked his lips with yours, keeping your mouth open like a French kiss, only to spit in your mouth. It tasted like alcohol, yet you didn't waste it. Swallowing without a second thought, happily sticking your tongue out to show him. "Thats a good girl!"

He continued holding you against his chest, petting your hair. Fist still wrapped around his dick, moving faster and closer to cumming.

"Please, alpha." You pathetically beg, hand inching towards to wrap around his fist. "Let me touch you. I'll make you feel good."

Jaemin takes your hand into his, taking his cock in your own. Sensitivity taking over him, shaking as he hissed. Steadily in an up and down motion, the coolness of your hand feeling amazing on his warm dick.

You kissed along his collarbone, eyeing his clentching abs as his dick twitched in your hand, "Gonna cum?"

"Yes, baby. Keep going." Hand wrapped around yours dug into your knuckles. Groaning, Jaemin began tugging your hair, abs tightening as spurts of cum shot onto his stomach and onto his and your hand. The warm white liquid spilling from the tip like it wasn't about to stop. "Clean me off." Lifting his hand to your mouth, you cleaned him off like a starved animal. Now licking away the cum on his abdomen and your hand as if it weren't there in the first place.

Jaemin pat the top of your head, signifying you were doing well.

Then he slid down the bed, now resting his head on the pillow. A giant smile on his face as he tugged at your shorts, "Off."

"Do it yourself." You reply.

At this point, he had enough. Flipping you over with ease, stripping you of everything in seconds. Leaving you bare for only his eyes.

"Stupid omega, always have to test her alpha. You love being put in your place, huh?" Spreading your legs forcefully, he suddenly bit the inside of your thigh. A scream filling his ears at how harsh he bit down, almost enough to draw blood.

He licked over the now reddened area, kissing, then biting again all up your thigh until he stopped where you needed him most.

"Jaemin," You bucked up, hoping he'd put his mouth on you. "I need your tongue."

"Need or want? Getting your words mixed up, baby. You don't need it, I can leave you like this with nothing if I really wanted to."

"But you won't." You speak confidently, "You love to taste me."

Jaemin couldn't disagree. Staring at you with a shit eating grin before taking a long flick up your slit. Sweet slick making his eyes roll back, tongue dipping into your heat to taste more. Its so rough, you can hear the slurping sounds coming from him. All you could do was lay there and take it. Tugging at the strands of messy hair on Jaemins head, the only thing keeping you sane with how vigorous and starved he suddenly became.

Slick painted his chin, your core pulsing and spilling more as well as spit from Jaemin. The lewd sounds so intense mixed with your moans, you were sure at least some people could hear at this point. Jaemin didn't mind. Flicking your clit with his tongue, swirling around the sensitive bud to pull you closer into a gut wrenching sensation. It would come too quick, a record for himself if he managed to make you cum so soon with hardly any penetration.

And somehow, he pulled it off.

You're screaming when he doesn't stop, body still quivering and thighs squeezing around him. Vision almost going blank, voice breaking when you moaned, "F-fuck, Jaemin!" Hands taking hold just under the back of your thighs, tearing them away from his face. You fought to close them again, bearing too much already. "No more, I can't take it!"

"Didn't you say you needed this?" He muttered against your folds, "Did my pretty omega lie to me?"

You shook your head sheepishly. Not making any eye contact, afraid he wouldn't stop for the rest of the night.

"Then you will take what I give you. And when I'm done, you'll say 'thank you, alpha' like a good pet. Do you understand?"

"Yes, alpha."

Jaemin slaps your thigh, jerking you forward into his mouth. The more he lapped, the more you saw stars in your blurry vision. You were positive you eventually passed out. Excessive nipping and flicking at your clit was too extreme. Though when he noticed you black out, he didn't cease and continued until you came again. Almost like a resurrection, you arched into the bed and whined loudly as the final wave of your orgasm hit. Tugging and squirming against Jaemin.

"What do you say?"

"T-thank you, alpha."

Jaemin laid his hand atop your stomach, emotion no where to be found. The silence eating away at you, hoping he'd do something before you did it yourself. And luckily he did, though it was unexpected when he kept his hand put, but his cock was already pressed into your entrance. Jaemin didn't care how sore you you were, sliding into you easily as you placed your hands on his chest to slow him before ruthlessly pounding into your heat.

The amount of slick mixed with cum made it easy to slide deep, tip meeting your sweet spot with a rough kiss in an instant. And his hand that rested on your belly could feel himself, the outline of his thrusts that felt so good. A cocky smirk playing on his lips as he did nothing more than replace his hand with yours.

You didn't know how to respond. Of course you knew Jaemin was big, but that big...You wanted to wipe that smirk off his face before he had any other thoughts however it was too late and his mind was already on the run with ideas.

"I could do this all night if I wanted to." He roughly bucked forward, "Could fill you up, breed you, show everyone their favorite omega is nothing more than a cumdump for her alpha. It'd be perfect!"

You whine at the thought, clentching around his cock thinking of being bred with his pups. However it couldn't happen anytime soon, the idea that he could spill his seed inside you if he so wanted made your mind spin. "You're s-so full of yourself, a-alpha."

Jaemin cups your cheeks, smiling like he wasn't wrecking your insides. "Because I know my omega wants it. I'll breed this pretty pussy so good, keep you with me forever so you can't leave. Only be mine." His hands now at your throat, pressing into the sides as your mouth kept open.

"I-I've only b-been yours." You choke, hand wrapping around his wrists. Not drawing him off, but there like a sense of security.

"Of course. But I like when I make the other boys jealous."

Jaemin attacks your lips. Messily kissing while still choking you. His tongue pushes past your lips, playing with your tongue. The taste of alcohol still evident and intoxicating, you wanted more. Forcing yourself onto him, clashing teeth in the process.

His free hands stray to your breats, fondling the hard bud sweetly. Removing his lips, he now dipped down to your other breast. Sucking on your chest, tongue licking over your nipple, Pushing your chest in his face on instinct, Jaemin loved how you reacted. Tweaking, sucking, anything to get you worked up and begging for him is what he craved.

Cock aching, that familiar feeling quickly returning. Wrapping your legs around his waist, bringing him in closer- deeper, for his cum that would soon shoot into your cunt. But for now, Jaemin wanted to savor the feeling before his release, savor how your walls always felt so tight whenever he fucked you. How wet you still seemed to be, and only for him.

With your head pushed in the pillow, neck being squeezed- Jaemin happily let himself cum. Shooting his load in your walls, cum threatening to spill each time he pulled his hips back. However, his continuous thrusts shoved his cum further into your cunt. Nearing your own orgasm, he rubbed your wet clit.

"Alpha, alpha!" You scream, "Feels so good, alpha!"

"I know, baby. Keep going for me. Come on you can give me one more, I know you can."

You dug your nails onto his wrist. Your orgasm taking over you like a sudden rush of adrenaline, chanting Jaemins name until you finally settled down the best you could, still finding yourself in a subdrop.

"Thats it, baby. Shh-" Jaemin kissed your cheek, moving your messy hair from your face to kiss anywhere he could, "Baby, you did so well. I'm so proud of you." He repeatedly kissed your face. Inching you closer into a reality you couldn't understand just yet. Playing with your hair, literally anything to bring you completely back to him. "You okay?" He questions, lifting your chin to give you that lovely Na Jaemin smile you're used as you returned the gesture and nodded.

Jaemin was about to pull out, you stopped him by bucking your hips back into his. "No! I wanna stay like this."

How could Jaemin say no to his baby after all this?

After situating himself into a more comfortable position, you spoke, "Jaemin..?"

"Mhm?"

"I still think you're a pompous asshole."

twst + valentine’s day

request: can we please get something that involves all twst dorm leaders like the armband scenario?? maybe it’s valentines/ christmas and the MC’s going around giving gifts ?? thank uu!

a/n: I,,, included all of the characters as a bonus.... so the format of this is different from how I usually write, and it’s also pretty long lol. I’m sorry this took way too long to get out //side eyes all the other old stuff in my drafts//

For the past few days, all of your friends had been acting... strange, to say the least. Azul kept finding excuses to spend time with you, and Ruggie always slipped an arm around you whenever he saw you in the halls. Even Idia was texting you more frequently, even if half of his texts were asking you to help him do a raid in one of his MMOs.

It was only when you passed by Sam’s shop and saw a lascivious pink and red display of candy and roses that you realized what was happening. Valentine’s day was tomorrow, and all your friends wanted chocolate from you. It was no surprise the date had slipped your mind, considering all the trouble you were usually neck deep in.

You didn’t have to do anything for the holiday (you were a little surprised they celebrated it, to be honest) but you cared about your friends, as conniving and rude some of them were. The least you could do to show your appreciation would be to give them some sweets.

After convincing Crowley to lend you some money, and armed with nothing but your determination and late night adrenaline, you braced yourself to make enough chocolates for 22 people in one night.

The next day, running on four hours of sleep and lugging around a heavy bag full of chocolates, you were ready to pass out your gifts. You had even found the time to individually package the chocolate, tying the bags with a cute ribbon and hastily scribbling the recipient’s name and a little doodle on them.

Ace, as always, is terribly smug. Wrapping a arm around your shoulder, he jokingly asked if you were trying to confess your feelings as he popped a piece of chocolate into his mouth. Of course, he’s tired of receiving candy from his many admirers (you have those? you asked, and Ace cuffed you on the head), but you’re a little special from all the others (he’s just saying, if you wanted to date, he would even be willing to do things he didn’t like for you).

Deuce isn’t used to receiving chocolate whatsoever, so he’s a blushing mess when you hand him a bag. He’s too busy admiring the packaging (it has a blue ribbon!!! You even drew a little spade on it for him!!!!!) and solemnly promises to cherish it forever. You remind him that the chocolate would spoil, and if he wanted more, you’d simply make some for him. He’s honestly very close to fainting from happiness. His first valentine’s chocolate, from one of his best friends! He’s come a long way from being a self-destructive delinquent.

Jack takes the chocolate with little fanfare. He insists he doesn’t really care about valentine’s day, and he’s only taking it because you’re his friend. But the way his tail is wagging fast enough to create a miniature tornado betrays his real feelings. He’s ridiculously happy, even if he’s hard pressed to say it. Jack has always thought he didn’t need the company of others, but you’ve changed his mind (even if you drag him into trouble on a daily basis).

It’s a surprise to Epel to receive chocolate, but it’s definitely a pleasant one. There was practically no one his own age in his home village, so he’s never celebrated valentine’s day. He doesn’t know much about it, so Epel thought you were confessing your feelings for him (which certainly turned him as red as an apple). But he’s smiling from ear to ear, shyly thanking you. It’s nice to have someone who accepts you for who you are, country accent and feral energy and all.

For the first time since you’ve known him, Sebek is ridiculously quiet. His mouth is agape as he looks as the chocolate like he’s never seen candy before. Valentine’s day is a silly human custom, and it’s not like he really wanted chocolate, but if you insist, then he has no choice but to take it (you threaten to take the chocolate back and he yells so loud your ear drums pop). You know, for a human, you weren’t that bad. He... sort of... enjoys your company. Only a little, though!

Riddle is never one to turn down sweets, and never from someone he’s fond of. He’s a little bashful as he takes the chocolate, especially when he’s seen that you’ve decorated the bag with care. He’s a little awkward as he thanks you, because no one has given him chocolates before. He’s going to happily savor each piece (you almost forgot how terrifying Riddle is until you saw him break the sound barrier to behead someone who had painted a rose pink. You are so, so thankful you usually manage to stay on his good side).

Trey has nightmares about valentine’s day. His family’s bakery is usually packed due to the holiday, and he has to work until his arms are about to fall off for a week straight. Besides, he’s usually the one passing out chocolate to others, not the one receiving it. But he’s not going to turn down chocolate from his cute junior now, is he? You might even be Trey’s favorite first year, but he’s never going to say for sure.

Cater doesn’t like sweet things, but when you tell him you made sure to get dark chocolate specifically for him, he’s throwing his arms around you in excitement. Be prepared for him to spend at least thirty minutes snapping selfies with you, and photographing his gift from like twenty different angles so he can brag on Magicam (and maybe even irritate anyone who hasn’t received chocolate from you yet).

You’re pretty sure that Leona is used to receiving a ton of chocolate because he’s a prince (he’s also extremely hot), but he’s taking the bag from you before you can even finish saying hello. Leona’s too prideful to admit it, but he finds you amusing, and he’s even grown fond of you. There’s no way he’s going to pass up on a gift from his favorite herbivore, especially when you went to all the trouble to prepare it. Surely you can spare some time to nap with him as he eats it, right?

Ruggie’s gift is a little special: you’ve made chocolate frosted doughnuts for him, knowing how much he loves doughnuts. He’s giving his signature snicker when he sees what you’ve brought him, and his tail may or may not be wagging. Ruffling your hair, he jokes that he’s a little surprised at how good it tastes. It makes Ruggie’s heart flutter a little; he’s never celebrated valentine’s day before, but he’s glad that his first chocolate was from you.

Azul tries to play it cool, but his red ears give him away: he’s never received genuine valentine’s chocolates before. People who do give him anything just want to make sure a business deal runs smoothly. Of course, he can’t simply accept a present: no, he’s asking you if you want something in return (someone convince him to stop reading so much capitalist theory). He also hides the chocolate: it’s very special, and he can’t have the twins teasing him about it.

Honestly, Jade kind of scares you. Floyd is the temperamental one, but at least he’s easy to read. You can’t tell what Jade is thinking when you hand him his bag. The chocolate is shaped like little mushrooms, and Jade flashes you a sharp tooth smile as he thanks you for the gift. He even raises your hand to press a kiss to your knuckles, saying he might give you a discount at the Mostro Lounge. Aren’t you cute? He has his eye on you, for better or worse.

Floyd practically throws himself on you as soon as he sees you. He’s seen everyone else bragging about the chocolate they’ve received from you, so where is his? It’s hard giving him his little bag of chocolate when he’s basically draped all over you, but you somehow manage. Floyd is beaming, calling you a cute little shrimp as he presses a kiss to your head. He doesn’t really care about the chocolate; he’s just happy he got something from you.

Kalim trusts you so much he doesn’t even ask someone to taste test his chocolate before he bites into a piece. He’s so incredibly happy, and much like Floyd, he’s got you wrapped in a tight hug, flashing you a bright smile. You’re such a good friend, and you’re so cute, and you make all of his parties a thousand times better. Kalim’s already considering how to thank you. Would a parade and party in your honor suffice?

Jamil is stoic as he receives your chocolate. Kalim’s usually the one who receives gifts, not him, because he’s always had to stick to the shadows. He’s very flattered, though, and when you tell him that you care about him, he’s pulling the strings of his hoodie tighter to hide the warmth in his face. Internally, he’s gloating because he noticed his piece of chocolate was bigger than Kalim’s (wow, petty king).

Vil has been waiting for you to give him his chocolate all day. Epel and Leona have been taunting him over the fact that he had yet to receive anything from you. The idea that you don’t like him irritates him. Listen, Vil may have a mountain of chocolate from admirers already, but yours is the only one he really wants to eat. No expensive box of chocolates beats a homemade present from his favorite potato, you know.

Rook already knows what’s up. He’s singing your praises when he sees you in the halls, reciting a poem he wrote especially for you that makes you blush. When you finally manage to give him his chocolate, Rook presses a kiss to your cheek. You’re a beautiful person, and he hopes you’ll allow him to stay by your side in the years to come. After all, he wants to see how your beauty grows and improves.

You’re not really sure how to give your present to Idia, but Ortho solves that problem for you. He promises to deliver it to Idia, but you feel a little bad that Ortho can’t eat any himself. He assures you he doesn’t mind; his brother is going to be over the moon with happiness, and that’s enough to make him happy. Ortho gives you a hug before he goes on his way. Idia is certain he’s dreaming when he receives the gift. Is this real? This only happens in, like, manga and anime, you know. Whenever he texts you, he blushes bright red at the memory, and it takes him a week to calm down.

You scream when Lilia pops out of nowhere, upside down, ready to receive his chocolate. Lilia is amused; aren’t you adorable, running around giving gifts to everyone? He never tires of how strange and delightful human customs are. Pressing a kiss to your forehead as thanks for the present, Lilia smiles at your flustered expression. Perhaps he should surprise you with kisses more often, just to see that look on your face.

Silver is happy to receive any sort of edible food, especially if it’s as good as yours. After years of Lilia’s cooking, he’s learned to take his blessings where he can. Of course, he isn’t even halfway through the bag before he falls asleep on your shoulder. Silver looks so peaceful, you don’t have the heart to move him. Later, when Sebek finds the two of you, his angry shouting can be heard from the other side of the school.

Malleus is a little grumpy when you meet him for your nightly walk. After all, Lilia, Silver and Sebek were all happily munching on chocolate you’ve given them, and he hasn’t received anything yet. Maybe you’ve forgotten him, just like everyone else. But when you pull out a bag for him, tied with a green ribbon and a cute little dragon doodled on the wrapping, he doesn’t know how to react. It’s adorable, and he’s unspeakably happy. Everyone is unnerved over the next few days, because Malleus walks around with a perpetual smile. Sebek is a bit jealous, and Lilia chuckles knowingly. It’s no secret that Malleus adores you.
