#let me go watch rudolph the red nose reindeer

[intimacyequalsdeath]

Bubz's 12 Days of Ficmas: Day 8 Silver and Gold (William Afton)

See what I did with that title *wink wink*Day 8 is here! I'm really proud of the inspo for this one. I watched Rudolph the red nosed reindeer with my parents the other week so this is basically that.

Notes: Minors DNI, SFW, Fluff, No specific descriptions or pronouns used for the reader, William Afton is a warning in himself. William calls reader Bunny as a pet name.

"William it's almost Christmas, you promised me-'

"I know bunny, I know. I'm sorry but I have to get this work on the animatronics done tonight"

He held the door to the pizzeria open for you as the two of you stepped inside. You had made him promise that he would put work on a back burner with the impending holidays but this was an "Emergency" according to him.

You trudged in behind him, purposefully dragging your feet in protest. You knew once William was sat down he was going to be here until he was done and not a minute sooner.

"Bunny c'mon, don't be like that"

William commanded without interrupting his stride. You sighed and rolled your eyes, but picked up your feet anyway. If you had to be stuck here a few days before Christmas with William the last thing you wanted was for it to be an angry William.

The two of you made it into the small parts and services offices in the back, this room always creeped you out for some reason but you could never put your finger on it.

You took a place on the chair that William had once rolled in for you as you watched him start to get set up. The old spring suit was already laid on the table awaiting repair.

There was always something about that old golden rabbit spring suit that made you think it was William favorite out of all of them. It was the only one he took such extra care of.

"How long is it going to take you think?"

You asked him, he looked over at you for a moment before shrugging.

"I don't know Bunny, why?"

"Rudolph the red nose reindeer comes on tonight and I wanted us to watch it"

"Rudolph? baby do I look like the type of guy to watch a kids movie?"

"Ya know I really would've pegged the man who owns a literal pizzeria to maybe like a kids movie"

William chuckled a bit at that, never taking his eyes off the animatronic.

"I guess that would make sense wouldn't it Bunny, You've got your own silver and gold right here though"

"Silver and gold? Like the song from Rudolph?"

Willian nodded, lifting the head of the animatronic spring suit up to you. He showed you the golden fabric covering then the silver endoskeleton underneath.

"Not really the silver and gold I had in mind Will"

You said but smiled never the less.

"Well Bunny it might have to do this time around anyway"

"Why do you like that one so much anyway?"

Will shot you a confused look.

"Like what so much?"

"That animatronic suit, it's like your favorite"

"Oh, uh well this one is sorta a...passion project ya know?"

Will started to get noticeably jittery but you knew he didn't really like to talk about the pizzeria in depth as it was so you didn't think anything of it.

"Sorry Will, I didn't mean to pry but you never talk to me about the pizzeria and I was just curious"

"It's ok Bunny, hey why don't I put this away for tonight and we go and watch Rudolph"

"Are you sure Will? I know you like to finish what you start when it comes to work"

He nodded, and began to put his tool aways. Before standing up and reaching for your hand.

"C'mon Bunny, let's go get you some silver and gold huh?"

You nodded taking William's hand as he lead you out of the pizzeria. One day maybe William would tell you more about his silver and gold and the rest of the animatronics, but for now Yukon Cornelius's song would have to do.

corn on a cob

🌽 pairing : park jeongseong x oc 💌 GENRE : fluff 700 wc

warning : food , kissing , sharing food

; AUTHORS NOTE : day 13 of “24 days of Christmas with filmfohybe” is almost Christmas🥹 I got a corn on a cob at my town’s Christmas market and thought about jay. And I’m going to london tmr!! I’m so excited. Now let’s get to it.

MASTERLIST TO MY OTHER WORK

The air was crisp, filled with the enchanting aroma of roasted chestnuts and the lively sounds of a Christmas market. Jay and I strolled hand in hand, surrounded by twinkling lights and the joyful hum of festive music. The atmosphere was magical, and I couldn't help but feel a warm excitement bubbling within me.

As we wandered through the market, Jay's eyes lit up when he spotted a stall selling corn on the cob. He nudged me playfully, "You know, I've been craving one of those sweet and smoky corns. What do you say baby? Can I get it?” , “of course let’s go get them!” I grinned in agreement, and we joined the line, anticipation building as we inched closer to the delicious buttery aroma. Finally, we got our hands on one steaming cobs, adorned with a generous slathering of butter and a sprinkle of seasoning. The first bite was a burst of flavors—sweetness, smokiness, and the rich taste of butter that made my taste buds dance.

Jay and I took turns nibbling on the corn, sharing laughter and playful banter. “Right stop taking big ass bites this is literally my favorite!” “EXCUSE ME? I want it as well..” As I bit into the corn, a small smudge of butter found its way to the corner of my mouth. Jay's eyes twinkled mischievously as he reached over, his thumb gently wiping away the errant butter. I couldn't help but blush at the intimate gesture under the soft glow of Christmas lights. “Jay don’t do that..” my face is now probably redder than Rudolph the red nose reindeer.

A subtle, sweet taste lingered on my lips, a combination of the strawberry lip balm I had applied earlier and the buttery goodness of the corn. Jay leaned in, his lips meeting mine in a tender kiss. It was a moment suspended in time, surrounded by the festive ambiance of the Christmas market. Smiling into the lovely kiss.

"Mmm, maybe strawberry lip balm and butter should be a lip balm scent or even flavor," Jay suggested with a playful smirk, his eyes still locked onto mine. I chuckled, enjoying the light-hearted exchange as we continued to share the corn on the cob. “Uh I don’t think anyone would like that…” “I will though. Taste exactly like the two things I love..”

We explored the market further, weaving through stalls adorned with handmade ornaments, festive decorations, and the sweet scent of hot chocolate wafting through the air. The vibrant colors of the holiday season surrounded us, creating a picturesque backdrop for our shared moments. The market's carousel beckoned us, and we decided to take a whirl on its ornate horses. The melodies of classic Christmas tunes filled the air as we circled under a canopy of twinkling lights. Jay held me close beside me. Holding my waist as he watches me with a darling smile and the world seemed to slow down as we enjoyed the simple joy of the moment.

As the night deepened, the market came alive with an even more magical glow. The towering Christmas tree at the center of the square sparkled with countless lights, and couples danced to the tunes of a live band. Jay and I found a cozy spot on a bench, wrapped in each other's warmth, watching the festivities unfold. Him secretly taking candid pictures of me as I ate my cotton candy.

The air was filled with love and laughter, and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect Christmas experience. With a contented sigh, I leaned against Jay, grateful for the simple pleasures shared on this festive night—the sweet and smoky corn on the cob, the stolen kisses under Christmas lights, and the warmth of love that made the holiday season truly magical.

Silver Bells and Silver Screens

ao3 // normal masterlist // christmas masterlist

*Summary: Ken and his girlfriend sit down and watch one of her favorite Christmas movies together

*Rating: E for Everyone

*Content/Tags: Fluff, Elf (2003 Film)

*Status: Oneshot/Complete

Ken smiled as he sat down on the couch. After moving from Barbieland, when his girlfriend found out he hadn’t celebrated a real Christmas, she was determined to show him everything about her favorite holiday. So far, she had brought him ice skating, which he didn’t do very well, and they had made some of her family’s famous cookies, telling Ken how happy they would be to meet him. He was already feeling the Christmas joy, and they’d hardly scratched the surface according to her. 

“You ready?” She asked. She practically ran back out into the living room. She had changed from a plain shirt to a festive bright red sweater. She sat down on his lap and rested her arms around his neck. His hands worked their way across her back until he found a comfortable spot to rest his arms and gave her a kiss. She deepened the kiss before pulling away and looking at him. He smiled up at her as his hand rested on her back

“What are we doing?” He asked

“I don’t know, let me pull up Netflix and see what Christmas movies they have.”

“Okay.”

She slid off his lap and sat next to him, curling up into his side as she flipped through apps on her TV. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and kissed her head before she settled on a movie, indicating that it was her favorite. He nodded and she turned it on. Immediately Ken was enamored by the music that played as the movie began. She kissed his nose and wrapped her arms around his arm as the scene showed Buddy the Elf at the north pole. Suddenly, Ken’s eyes went wide as he watched the movie. He said under his breath,

“Oh my god.”

“What?” She looked up at him

“What?” His gaze broke, and he looked back at her. She paused the movie and his face lingered on the screen

“It’s nothing.” He shrugged a little bit, trying to act cool

“We can find another movie, if you want.” She offered

“No it’s just… let’s keep watching.” He said and she shrugged, turning the movie back on. Still the thought wouldn’t leave the back of Ken’s mind. That man on the screen looked… no was in fact, Mr. Mattel. It had to be him. It was funny seeing him acting like an elf when he was so big… but that was Mr. Mattel. What was he doing there? Ken stared blankly at the screen for a while as he pondered his existence. Who really was Mr. Mattel? She laughed softly, which was enough to bring his attention back to the movie. Something about a ‘throne of lies’ and beef was said? He paid attention after the words exchanged devolved into a fight. Ken seemingly ducked in anticipation of blows that wouldn’t hit him and held onto his girlfriend tighter. She reassuringly patted his shoulder and that seemed to settle him enough to keep going with the movie.

“Oh, this is my favorite scene.” She kissed his cheek as the girl that Mr. Mattel was into during the movie, stood on a horse carriage and started singing. “I don’t know why but it always made me tear up.” 

He watched quietly for her and she hummed along to the song. “Santa Claus is coming to town…”

“He knows when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake.” Ken saw the tears collecting at the corner of her eyes. He wiped the little things away for her and she smiled as Buddy took off with Santa Claus, wishing ‘bye’ to his friends and family in New York. “Okay, so what did you think Ken?”

“It was cute.” He smiled, “But not nearly as cute as you.”

“You’re too sweet.” She kissed his nose, “But I’m glad you liked it.”

“So… Can we watch another one?” He smiled, “Anything Christmas.”

“Okay. Let’s watch ‘Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer’.”

Christmas air

Paring: Suna x gn!reader

Genre: Fluff

a/n: hello! this is my first ever post, and my first time writing a full scenario so please be easy on me ;)

you couldn’t help but giggle as you stared at your boyfriend who had a tiny moustache above his nose, due to the hot milk he was drinking.

“what? what’s making you laugh?”

suna questioned, oblivious to the moustache he had created. you shook your head and responded, "Nothing," finding this amusing.

“ok”

was all the middle blocker said with a tinge of suspicion in his tone, as he continued to blissfully drink his favourite milk. how cute

the two of you had decided to spend your evening at your favourite bakery drinking hot chocolate, and then head downtown to watch the Christmas lights festival.

you smiled softly , then looked outside the window enjoying the view, the atmosphere was warm outside, with the streets lined with Christmas lights and people walking around with their families and friends having a great time.

Oh how you loved the Christmas season, it seemed to bring a different kind of joy to people, which was truly magical

“what’s making you smile so hard”

suna suddenly said, snapping you out of your thoughts, He had just finished his milk and still didn't appear to notice the mustashe under his nose.

you smiled softly

“oh, i just love the Christmas season, it just makes me so happy”

you replied while taking a sip of your hot chocolate before it starts getting cold, he hummed in response as he bit into his milk bread and smiled sweetly.

you two stayed like this for a bit, enjoying each other’s company without saying much, finding this comforting.

You then glanced at the clock which indicated that it was almost time for the Christmas lights festival to start.

“suna, we have to leave now if we want to make it in time”

you said, pointing at the clock. He nodded and stood up, putting his jacket on, and you did the the same.

—

it was beginning to snow a little as the two of you were strolling along the sidewalk holding hands and enjoying the comforting silence.

you took a quick glance towards him and noticed his nose was turning red, you couldn't help but giggle at that. He turned to face you, eyebrow lifted, waiting for you to explain the reason behind your sudden giggles

“you look like Rudolph, the reindeer”

you point out while lightly pinching his nose, in the mist of chuckles, the middle blocker playfully rolled his eyes as he squeezed your hands.

suna— wouldn’t tell you this but he’s not a big fan of the snow, mostly because of how cold it gets, but seing the way your eyes light up at the mere sight of a snowflake, makes him love it too.

—

The celebration had just begun when you guys arrived , and it was incredible, with lights shining everywhere, Christmas ornaments adorning the enormous Christmas tree, and people taking pictures all around, This was truly magical

You gazed in awe at the breathtaking scenery, Suna grinned softly at that

you decided to go take a picture in front of the enormous Christmas tree

“c’mon let’s go take a picture over there” you exclaimed cheerfully pulling his arm and making your way towards the tree.

“y/n, calm down, it’s not going anywhere”

Suna said in the mix of chuckles, he loved seing you like this, specifically because moments like this reminds him of why he fell in love with you.

Pushing through the full crowd you finnaly made it in front of the tree, it appeared even more wonderful up close thanks to the lights that made the entire tree shimmer.

“ok come here” you said motioning the middle blocker to get closer while pointing your phone in your direction, he awkwardly placed his arms around your waist while holding up a peace sigh

“say cheese!” you say with a bright smile, while he smiled softly.

“Aww this looks so good” you happily stated while looking at Suna who nodded in agreement

“let’s take another one” the middle blocker suggested while positioning the phone, this time he decided to give you a kiss on the cheeks.

This made you feel instant butterflies

“aw my boyfriend’s so romantic” you teasingly state while pinching his cheeks, you never expected him to do something like this, but not that your complaining.

“i guess it’s the just the Christmas air— that’s making me feel like this” Suna said while giving you a kiss on the head, you chuckled at that while interjecting your fingers with his and making your way towards the fariswheel

— not acknowledging the tiny blush that appeared on his face.

it must be the Christmas air

Jason Todd Sick Day

A/N: Thank you all for the support on my two earlier stories. I'm very grateful for you reading my work. I'm going to be writing this if I were taking care of Jason. So, there may be things that we do differently. Please consider following if you want to know when I post next. Love you <3 

Summary: You have a 6’0ft giant walking around sick in your shared apartment. It then turns into a lazy day for the two of you. 

_____________________ 

Jason got sick the previous night. After hanging out with Roy. Drinking, going to multiple bars, and having a good time with his friend. Hours after Jay's departure, Roy came to your shared apartment knocking on the door. Opening the door, you see Roy supporting Jason's weight to your surprise. Taking in your drunk boyfriend, you thanked Roy and put Jason to bed ASAP. He came home catching a cold. Throwing up in the toilet soon after. Jay can usually hold his liquor, but it was different I suppose. I wonder whys that.  The symptoms showed up the morning after. Coughing and sneezing every so after. You scolded Jason for getting sick but quickly got to work to get him in better health. 

Leaving Jason in bed, treating him by giving him hot drinks. Placing a warm and damp towel on his head. Rubbing his stomach and back in ointment to help. You were headed to the kitchen to prepare some soup for him. Before that could happen, Jason grabbed your hand. 

“Thank you, my love, for your help.” He put his hand to his mouth to block the cough. “But let me help you with some of the food.” His voice was strained by all the coughing. Lazily sitting up in bed. No longer laying down but sitting upright. 

Eyes widening and concern taking over. Sitting on the bed, you placed a hand on his back and rubbed it in circles. Jason leaned his head on your shoulder. “Don't worry about that right now Jay. I need you to try a get better ok. I'll take care of the food for today or however long it takes for you to feel better.” You give him a peck on the forehead. “And before you get any ideas. You're not going out on patrol until you start feeling better.” 

Jason laughed at the last comment. “Whatever you say, commander” Jason picked up his head from your shoulder and grabbed a nearby hoodie. Slipping it over his head. Grabbing a light blanket and wrapping it over his head. He was ready to leave the bedroom. “Would you like me to be in the living room? Commander?”  

Rolling your eyes. “I suppose, but you better not leave that seat. Until the food is finished. I'll be watching you.” Doing the gesture of pointing at your eyes and then to his. His signature chuckle escaped his mouth. Not adding any more to the conversation jay left to go into the living room 

After fixing the bed, you followed suit out the door, your destination was the kitchen instead. Opening cabinets and picking some broth. Putting it in a pan, you placed it on the stove and warmed it up. Cutting up fresh ingredients and adding them into the broth after, along with the chicken. After some time, the soup was ready to eat. 

Getting out two bowls and carrying them to the table you called out for Jason to join you. You didn't notice before, but Jason’s nose was as red as Rudolph's. Without the direct lighting, it wasn't too noticeable. With the overhead lighting shining directly above it was another story. 

Jason notices your eyes focusing on a specific spot on his face. “Hmm”, he wonders what's wrong. Was there something on his face he forgot to wipe off from last night? Pointing to your nose he goes cross-eyed for a moment to check it out. Without perfect vision, he can clearly see the tint of red forming. “How long has that been there?” 

“I don't think it's been there too long, I just recently noticed.” Walking closer to him you inspect it on a closer scale. Hand in chin you lean closer to his nose, for comedic effect. “It's suits you… I got my own reindeer now!” You smile at him. Teasing him.  

Jason simply scoffed at your comment. It was something he could imagine himself saying to you if you were in his situation. You went over to the fridge and picked out some cold medicine. Measuring it out you gave it to Jay before he could start on the soup. Taking it all in one gulp. His Adam's apple bobbing along his throat. The aftertaste was terrible. Making a sour face, he is adamant about eating the soup quickly to wash it down. 

Jay went over to the seat, you handed him some more tea you brewed earlier to help his sickness. You joined him in the accompanying chair. He thanks you once more for all your effort. Jay thinks you spoil him with all your affection. But thankful, nonetheless. 

The soup bowls eventually emptied, and are now found in the stomachs of you two. Jason picks them up and heads to the sink, the blanket still atop him. Quickly cleaning them and putting them on the drying rack he joined you back at the table.  

“What's on the schedule today my love?” His voice sounds a bit better, but still a bit croaky. Jason is leaning on the table looking directly at you. Wrapping himself up with the blanket tighter.  

The thoughts of finishing that show the two of you started flashed through your mind.  You also had a couple of errands that needed your urgent attention. Just some online work that you need to catch up on. You swear to yourself every time that you won't procrastinate again. But earlier attempts resulted in failure to change. Today was going to be different! While in deep thought you hear a huge sniffle come from Jason. Followed by more coughs. Ugh that paper can wait until tomorrow. You had a 6’0 man to tend to. He needed your attention more.  

Pushing your chair away from the table and leaning into jay . "We can just have a lazy day together. How about we catch up on that TV series we started a while back! What was it called again? Arcane?”  

Jay flashed a look of surprise; he forgot the two of you were in the middle of that series. Jason really liked Vi as a character but related more to Jinx. ‘That sounds like a plan y/n.” Standing up, he spreads his arm out. His blanket followed his arms, giving him a pretend cape like his adoptive father. Jason picks you up. Slightly lifted off the floor. Jason squishes you against his body, he then heads over to the living room carrying you in his hands.  

Walking past the shelf full of photos and ceramics the two of you painted together recently. Plopping you down on the sofa. Then grabbing the remote. Handing it over to you. He opens the shutters and is met by a pale blue light. The Light is the tint of blue because of the clouds covering the sky. Heavy clouds, it was going to rain later. Jason eventually sits right next to you, resting his head on your lap getting comfortable. Jay looks up to you and gives you the best smile he can muster.  

The corners of his mouth stretched from ear to ear, eyes tightly closed shut. To top it all off with his reindeer nose. He looked like a little kid you thought. Cherishing the moment, all you could do was smile back. Reaching in your pocket without bothering Jason. You Tried to sneak a photo; you were successful in that. But the flash was on, and Jason knew at once. Opening his eyelids his first thought was to snatch the phone and delete it. You both knew each other's passwords. There was nothing incriminating on there, you two had complete trust in each other.  

Jason was wrestling you for a while. The blanket that covered him was long gone now. Tossed to the other couch so he can move more freely. You were successful in defending your phone from him. Jason would try and say he was going easy on you. But you knew he was lying. Jason caught you off guard when you tried to escape. Pushing you down on the couch and hovering on top of you. Looking down at you, his body blocking any sunlight illuminating your body. Casting a direct shadow on you. His heavy breath was felt on your skin. Leaving goosebumps with every exhale he took.  

Speechless, you didn't know what the next move was. You couldn’t wiggle out, he was caging you with his arms. So, the best plan of action was to Boop his cherry nose. When contacting the tip, you could feel the heat on his skin. Blood gathering near the surface gave him that reddish tint. He was taken aback, his hands and arms somewhat shaking.  

“Please Jason, I beg you… let me keep the photo. I promise I'm not going to do anything with it. Just my personal enjoyment. 

“Your dead set on keeping that photo huh.” You shook your head yes while underneath him. “Ah, I guess you can keep it.’ Jay rolled his eyes and then plopped on top of you. Letting out a grunt jay was laying on your chest. "But it stays between us” His face to the tv screen. After a few moments, “You going to start it, or not?” His jaw gnawing at your stomach as he said it. Grabbing the remote under all the mess the two of you caused, you started the show. Hopefully, Jinx will come to her senses by the end of this show...

Love Bites pt. 8

Best Christmas Ever

Baker Fem Reader x Toji Fushiguro

word ct: 15.1k, 11 Chapters

Preview: You stare at him curiously but if Toji didn’t want to explain something you couldn’t get more information out of him. What you did notice is the nervous tapping his forefinger made on the steering wheel, making you wonder what sort of present could make him this nervous....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter Eight: Sparking Juice

“I want you to open my present first!” Yuji shoves his present into your hands. Nobara plucks the haphazardly wrapped present out of your hands and puts her own to replace it. It had crisp edges and was topped with a bow. “She’s obviously going to open mine first, Yuji!”

“The only correct answer is opening mine first,” Megumi says, taking the basket holding your present out of his white dog’s mouth. Both black and white dogs had reindeer horns, but the white dog had Rudolph's nose attached to his snout. You laughs

 as the kids argue with each other, and Toji watches you from across the room. He smiles to himself, adoring the way that you are fully relaxed with everybody in the family. The dogs lay beside your feet, their tails wagging lazily and tongues lolling. Before the kids dragged you to open their presents, you were showing off the christmas sweater you had handknitted to Suguru, which you had made for Megumi and Toji to wear as well. Toji didn’t know how you knew his size so well, and the same went for Megumi, but they both fit perfectly. Forest green cable knit sweaters that had snowflakes carefully embroidered into it. You had shyly presented them to Toji and Megumi along with their other presents, as if you were afraid they wouldn’t like your first gift. He was speechless when he opened the box. How you managed to make them both sweaters and take care of the bakery was a mystery to him. Megumi had taken off his shirt right away and put it on, then tightly hugged you. Toji followed suit and ignored the pestering questions from Sukuna who wanted you to make him a sweater too. 

You open Megumi’s small box first as he wished and you are greeted with a tiny ceramic butterfly. It’s a blue morpho, and in one of the wings your name was painted into it. You gasp and carefully take it out of the packaging. 

“You made this?” You say in a hush voice. 

“Yep. You said butterflies were your favorite!” Megumi smiles up at you. 

“I mentioned that ages ago. Thank you, Gumi-bear,” you wrap your arms around him and press kisses into his forehead. The little boy's face was beet red when you let go of him, but when he turns to face Yuji and Nobara he sticks out his tongue. 

“Beat that!” 

When the gift exchange is over you, the kids, and the rest of the adults move to the dining area to eat. Gojo decided to be the host of Christmas this year, and you could tell that he really loved it. Him and his girlfriend decorated the chairs and seating arrangements with tiny Santas and wreaths. Glasses of non alcoholic, sparkling juice in fancy champagne flutes were placed right in front of the plates and Yuji grabs his and downs it in one sip. Nobara is quick to smack the back of his head and lectures him on table manners. You sit in between Toji and Megumi, and directly across from you sat Choso and his partner. She’s a pretty yet quiet girl, just like you. You give a soft smile and she returns it. Toji grabs your hand under the table and brings it up to your lips. 

“After we eat we can go home. I still have to give you your present,” he says. 

“You got a present to give me, big guy?” Sukuna says from down the table. Toji shoots him an annoyed look but everybody else snickers. 

“Yeah, let me get the right sized boot to shove my foot up your ass. You can keep it after that.”

“Language,” Nanami warns, making the other two men stop barking at each other. He carries a gorgeous honeyed ham baked to perfection from the kitchen. “Do you want ham?” He asked you softly and you nod enthusiastically.

“Did you make this yourself? It smells amazing, Kento.”

He grins and cuts you a slice. “Nanamin is a great cook. He makes a lovely wife,” Gojo pipes up. 

“Being a housewife doesn’t sound too bad,” he mutters for only you to hear and winks. “I poisoned one item on your plate,” he says offhandedly to Gojo. “Eat it if you dare.” 

Gojo gasps dramatically and all the children burst into laughter. The meal was filled with jokes and laughter the entire time. You forgot how wonderful Christmas is when you have people to share it with. 

You and Toji decided to leave once Megumi could barely hold his head up anymore. He had stayed up all night just for the sake of staying up and now the lack of sleep was catching up to him. Toji hauls him in his arms while you carry all the gifts you three received and herd the dogs into the car. Toji safely buckles Megumi in and climbs into the driver seat and immediately holds your hand. 

“You didn’t cry this time,” he comments when he starts the car. You roll your eyes and scoff. 

“I didn’t cry on thanksgiving! I had something in my eye.”

“For thirty minutes?”

“Eyes lashes are tiny,” you mumble and he laughs. “So… do I have to beg for my present or is it waiting for me when we get home?”

“I like it when you beg but it’s already there.” Toji runs his thumb over your knuckles. You stare at him curiously but if Toji didn’t want to explain something you couldn’t get more information out of him. What you did notice is the nervous tapping his forefinger made on the steering wheel, making you wonder what sort of present could make him this nervous. 

Arriving at Toji’s home looked the same as always. You thought maybe he had gotten you a new car but that didn’t seem to be the case. You gather the presents once again and the dogs dash into the backyard. Megumi, bleary eyed and still sleepy, forces himself to walk so that he can see your present too. Toji stills at the entrance into the houses and looks back at you one last time. “This is only one part, but I figured you should see this first.”

“Open the door!” You and Megumi say together, and you drum on his arm and he shakes his head. 

He opens the door and you enter the home hand in hand with Megumi. There was nothing new that you could see immediately. The foyer looks the same, there’s nothing on the stairs or in the living room. You look back to give Toji a confused look and he points to the dining area. You creep over there, noting the way that Megumi’s hand tightens around yours. To your surprise it’s not an object that’s waiting for you in the dining chair, but rather a person who’s back was facing you. The person hears you moving behind them and turns around, making you freeze completely. 

“Merry Christmas,” the man says to you, and tears quickly fill your eyes. 

“Ezra?”

Rudolph the Rainbow Reindeer

Spoilers for Fraternity and Handsome Devil ahead, I very highly recommend reading and watching both of these.

There's a Tumblr heritage post going around (I think? Was it from here?) about how the real lesson of the "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" song is that deviation from the norm, no matter how harmless, will be punished unless it can be exploited. That got me thinking about these two.

There's a lot that I like about Handsome Devil: the aesthetics, the pacing, it is Light Academia, it is Snark Academia, it's rugby bros, it's music and essay composition nerds, it's navigating friendships and mentor-protégé relationships between gay main characters instead of romance...and rather than one homophobic age-peer bully who's supposed to outgrow it or you outgrow them eventually, the spotlight is on the homophobic adults as it should be. Oppression is a whole system of power, not only one jerk that strikes you like miniature lightning. Finally, sometimes gay adults and elders fail you: their hard-won life experiences and best advice don't help your situation or apply to it.

It is a well-constructed wholesomely satisfying story. The point of contrast I want to highlight is that the happy outcome in this movie relies on...becoming exploitable. If you let gay boys on the sports team, particularly gay boys that are very good at the sports balls, then your team will win.

Hey, whatever works. Whenever there's an exclusionary thing going on based on something as harmless as Rudolph's Red Nose, then there's a brain drain and brawn drain from those exclusionist communities, there's skill drain and talent drain. Idealistically, that shouldn't be the reason to include people "because they might be useful in other ways" but in terms of practicality then that's how it usually goes: scientists and artists and kind people and resilient people flee persecution and enrich the communities who take them in. If being exceptional in some way is how you keep your head above the water in this crapsack world, then I sure won't stop you.

Contrast that with Fraternity. There's a lot I like about Fraternity: the 1990s nostalgia, the narrative voices, I finished reading it in two days and felt a whole entire Hero's Journey times three, it is the Darkest Dark Academia at its most Gothic like literary bitter ruby chocolate, it's brewski bros, it's witchcraft, it's Angels in America Jr., it's tragic, it's cathartic, it's navigating friendships and mentor-protégé relationships between gay main characters rather than romance...

The main thing that I noticed is no matter how many languages you speak or how emotionally attached you get to your friends (traits which any supervillain worth a lick of salt should know to exploit instead of eliminate, ahem ahem Westcott)—the very powerful point that the Fraternity canon demonstrates is that...in this crapsack world it's ultimately not up to you whether or not you get to live and "be useful" to bigots in positions of power. It's the bigots in power that decide that for you.

Fraternity is well-constructed and satisfying in a different way. Handsome Devil found a reconciliation with broader communities that outvoted a bigot with power, and I'm not going to say that can never happen in real life. Fraternity shows the shadow side of playing the game that way: Evil Wizard Homophobe Headmaster Westcott's fraternity would kill him over a mistake because that's the solidarity of the privileged. Steven Hillman would lay his life down for somebody in his fraternity who he probably never really liked and who hasn't been very nice to him, because that's the solidarity of the oppressed. It still is complicated: Hiss Hiss Bitch is a refrain that takes on layers of meaning and new contexts as the story goes on. In those complications and unflinching examination of the shadow sides, there emerges a deep and moving clarity.

Polar opposite vibes, different attacks on broad in-community (and/or inter-community) issues, different issues that these do tackle—and I enjoy them both and recommend them both. More, please.

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas countdown to Christmas Day. We've 11 days left!!

Twas the Night

Summary: Chiron stays up with his child on Christmas Eve.

Tags: Chiron x Kevin, dads

Three Christmases had passed since Chiron and Kevin adopted Lil Blue, the blessing that brought so much light and joy into Chiron's life.

The very moment the birth mother laid the tiny baby in Chiron's strong arms was like a dream. He looked up at her nervous in his spirit, as if she'd change her mind, see the perfect small soul that he saw and take him back, but when she didn't.. his eyes began to water in gratitude and after ten minutes of staring at the newborn, it hit him.. this was his baby. He wiped the tears from his cheeks with his forearm, looking up at Kevin for the first time.

Kevin had been through this with the birth of his biological children, he understood the exact feeling floating like a large butterfly inside Chiron and he gave a gentle smile.

Having his own child to love and who would love him scared Chiron. He didn't know the first thing about being a father, but he knew there was a lot of love in his heart.. and he remembered what it was like when he found Blue and Teresa.

He felt safe, welcomed, loved, and warm. These were the feelings he wanted to pass down to Lil Blue.. Which is why he was brimming with anxious excitement for the first Christmas that Lil Blue would truly experience and possibly remember.

For the first year, Santa was a big topic. All December, Kevin and Chiron circulated Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer, and all the old cartoons. They drank cocoa with marshmallows and whipped cream. They decorated a tall green tree from Walmart with muliticolored bulbs, and lights, raising Lil Blue high in the air to put the angel on top. She would pray over the house as they slept, Kevin told Lil Blue.

The night before Christmas came, Kevin baked gingerbread and shortbread cookies. Lil Blue was his kitchen helper, messily decorating the cookies and eating the frosting. He was covered in it from head to toe with cookie crumbs on his lip and Kevin could only laugh.

"For Santa papa."

"Yeah, let's save some for Santa," Kevin cleaned the crumbs and icing from Lil Blue's face. "How many cookies should we leave him?"

With wet fingers, Lil Blue arranged a few on a dish, spilling milk all over the table as he poured a cold glass for Santa.

"Let’s put some away for daddy," Kevin said putting away the rest of the cookies. Chiron wasn't a fan of sweets, but he'd eat them if Kevin or Lil Blue gave them to him. "Let's get cleaned up," Kevin whispered holding Lil Blue's head affectionately. "Then you can go tell daddy goodnight."

After a bath, that's exactly what their son did. He found Chiron in bed resting and woke him up to hug him. "Goodnight daddy!"

Kevin laughed silently as Chiron eyed him, but it was their plan. He knew Chiron would regret sleeping through it. It the best idea that they'd been keeping a secret. He settled in bed and watched Chiron get up to tuck Lil Blue into his own bed.

"Twas the night before Christmas.. and all through the house.. not a creature was staring.. not even a mouse," he read aloud watching Lil Blue get sleepier, his little lids heavy. It was cute and when he got a little older he'd appreciate the stories. "Hey.." whispered very quietly. "Do you wanna wait up for Santa?" It was a definite yes as he expected. "Yeah?"

Lil Blue grinned, still sleepy but climbing out of bed in excitement. He wanted to hear more about Santa's reindeer.

Chiron felt like a kid again, just as excited.

"I met Santa," he smiled watching the awe in his son's eyes. "We had a conversation about Rudolph.. Do you know what he told me? He said when Rudolph flies you can see the red light from his nose through your window."

Immediately a red light shined from outside into the window and Lil Blue lost his toddler mind in pure excitement, staring out the window at the sky as Chiron watched with a deep fuzzy warmness in his chest. He knew it was Kevin outside but to their child it was the magic of Christmas.

"Shh," Chiron whispered quickly catching Lil Blue's eager attention. "He's here. He can't know you're up or you won't get any presents.. We can sneak a peak at him but you have to be very, very quiet.."

It was the best Lil Blue had ever listened. He was quiet as a mouse, grinning and staring around the corner from his floor position as Kevin walked through the apartment in a full Santa suit and beard. He ate the cookies, drank the milk, and played it up. And when he looked back, Lil Blue hid.

Chiron put him back in bed and tucked him in.

"Goodnight," he kissed him on the forehead. "Go to sleep because when you wake up.. it'll be Christmas."

Merry Early Christmas

Classic Christmas Tales

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year for most, and there are multiple reasons why. One thing to celebrate? The cute little Christmas tales and the songs that come along with it! So, let's sit down by the fireplace with a mug of hot chocolate and a blanket, and watch some classic, fluffy Christmas movies.

Merry Christmas One and All! Santa Pocs is coming to Tumblr!

One of my favorite parts of Christmas, is the old fashioned classic movies that came out in the 60's that both me, and my mom watched as kids. So even though the movies are perfect already, I wanted to add my own little tickle scenes to the classic holiday movies. I hope you enjoy!

You know Dasher, and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen…

But do you recall…the most ticklish reindeer of all? 

Rudolph, the famous red-nosed reindeer, was spending time with Hermey a little before christmas. Hermey was painting a couple toys, while Rudolph was holding the toy steady. “So…How are things with that girl?” Rudolph asked. 

“It’s going alright. She’s funny, and cute. A really good singer too.” Hermey told him. 

Rudolph nodded. “Clarice is a good singer too. She sings all the time.” Rudolph told him. 

Hermey went back to painting, and grumbled a bit. “Even though I have the dental office, I still don’t see why I have to keep making toys.” Hermey told him. 

“Head Elf and the other elves still need your help.” Rudolph told him. “Besides: You can still work at the dental office overtime if you want to. I’m sure Santa would love to see you working hard.” Rudolph added. 

Hermey chuckled and finished the last corner of the toy. “Well…You helping me is keeping me from dropping the paintbrush and quitting again.” Hermey told him. 

“Did you want me to paint for a bit?” Rudolph asked. 

Hermey shook his head and fixed his elf cap. “The painting’s all finished. Now I just need to wait for it to dry.” Hermey told him. “And then we need to-” Hermey looked over at the unpainted wooden train, spinning top, and the unpainted wooden cars. Hermey groaned and flopped backwards onto the ground. “Nooooo…I thought I was done…” Hermey whined. 

Rudolph couldn’t help but laugh. “Come on, Hermey. I’ll paint, and you keep the train from rolling away.” Rudolph decided. 

Hermey looked at Rudolph with sad eyes. “...I don’t want to.” Hermey complained. 

Rudolph rolled his eyes and looked at one of the brushes. “If you don’t help me, then I’ll just paint you instead.” Rudolph decided before picking up the paintbrush. 

Hermey looked at Rudolph, confused. “Paint me? Why? I’m not a toy.” Hermey asked. 

Rudolph smiled with the brush in his mouth, and started to walk up to Hermey. Hermey looked at Rudolph with widening eyes, and then started to back up, dropping the paintbrush in the process. “Rudolph, what are you planning?” 

Hermey watched with slight nervousness as Rudolph knocked over the pink paint bottle, making bright pink paint fall onto the paper covering for the wood table. Then, Rudolph dipped the paintbrush into the pink paint. 

Hermey put up his right hand to stop Rudolph. “I don’t like where this is going!” Hermey warned. 

“Thcareth?” Rudolph tried to say the word ‘scared’, but struggled to say it, thanks to the paintbrush being in his mouth. 

But Hermey knew what he meant. “Okay, fine! I’ll resume painting! Just don’t paint me pink! I’m not a girl! Boys don’t wear pink!” Hermey tried to reason with him. 

But Rudolph just giggled before leaning his neck forward. He painted Hermey’s cheek, and moved the paintbrush around to make it brush up and down his cheek. 

“Hehey! Rudolph! Hahahaha!” Hermey laughed. “Stahap, it tickles!” Hermey told him. 

Rudolph giggled with the brush still in his mouth, and started fluttering the brush on the sides of the elf’s little neck. 

Hermey squeaked and laughed, squeezing his eyes shut and laughing loudly. “Okay! Okahahay!” Hermey laughed. “Ihihi’ll paint with yohohou! Ihihihi prohomihihihise!” Hermey tried to tell him. 

“Thoo lathe.” Rudolph replied, still struggling to speak properly. He made the brush flick and caress all behind his right ear, and down again to the underpart of Hermey’s small chin. “Thickle thickle thickle!” Rudolph said. 

“EEEhehehehe! Haha! Nohoho! Ihihi sahaid Ihihi’d paint! Ihihi sahahaid I’d dohohoho ihihit!” Hermey laughed. “Whahahat ehelse doho you wahahahahahant?” Hermey asked. 

Rudolph hummed the words ‘I don’t know’, and moved the brush up to Hermey’s nose. He moved the brush off his skin, then gave Hermey’s nose a little boop with the brush. “Booph!” Rudolph said. 

“Ohoho, yohou are so gonna get it.” Hermey grabbed the nearby brush he dropped earlier amidst his attempted escape, and started fluttering the blue-covered paintbrush onto Rudolph’s chin and neck back. 

Rudolph widened his eyes and curled his neck in, giggling with his mouth mostly closed, so he wouldn’t drop the paintbrush. He clenched the paintbrush with his teeth desperately, and squeezed his eyes shut. “Mm mm…Mmmmhmhmhmmm…” Rudolph hummed, letting out muffled giggles. 

“Tahake thahat, Rudolph.” Hermey teased. 

Rudolph finally bursted out giggling enough to open his mouth, and drop the paintbrush in the process. Rudolph tiptoed his hooves all over the floor, turning into an accidental tap dancer as he tried to get away. “Wahahait! Ihihi’m sorry! Ihi’m soorryhyhyhy!” Rudolph yelled. 

“Too late, Rudey!” Hermey declared as he started chasing Rudolph around the whole workshop. Eventually though, Hermey was motivated enough to go back to painting the toys. And soon, they had up to 30 toys painted in that afternoon alone! And the Head Elf was impressed! 

Now, what’s another Christmas story we all remember? How about…Frosty the Snowman? 

Frosty the snowman, was a jolly happy soul. With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal! Frosty the snowman is a fairytale, they say. He was made of snow, but the children know that he came to life one day. There must’ve been some magic in that old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around! Oh, Frosty the snowman, was alive as he could be; and the children say he could laugh and play, just the same as you and me. 

Play, they did! And laugh, the snowman certainly did! 

Frosty was a bundle of laughter all the time! And this time was no different! While Frosty was playing with the children, Karen happened to notice a button out of place on Frosty’s chest. So, she grabbed the coal piece and put it back onto the hole in Frosty’s upper belly. But to her surprise, Frosty let out another big laugh! Though equally joyful, it was more of a surprised laugh this time! 

Karen let go of the coal piece, and looked up at Frosty with a smile. “What’s so funny, Frosty?” She asked. 

He looked down and chuckled. “Thank you for fixing my buttons, Karen.” Frosty told her. He picked her up and placed her onto his shoulder. “But placing that button back, tickled me a little bit.” Frosty told her. 

“Tickled?” Karen asked. 

“Tickled?!” One of the kids asked. 

“Frosty’s ticklish?!” Another kid asked. 

Frosty laughed and nodded in response. Karen laughed in reaction and started giving his neck a little tickle with her pink mittens. 

Frosty jumped up, dropping the pipe in his mouth and curled his head over, to stop the mitten-covered hand from tickling him. “Now nohohow- Kahaharen!” He laughed. “Hahaha! Stohohop that!” He laughed, shaking his head around. 

A bunch of the kids gasped in unison. “He IS ticklish!” One of the kids reacted. 

“TICKLE HIM!” Another kid laughed, jumping for his foot. 

“Tickle me?” Frosty asked, confused. 

Karen slid down Frosty’s arm and onto the snow again, before giving Frosty a little push. “Lay down, Frosty!” Karen told him. 

“Lay down?” Frosty asked next. 

All the other kids started collectively pushing against Frosty’s belly and tried to push him down. Though the 6 kids were just no match for Frosty. He was just too heavy! 

“Alright, alright. I’ll lay down for you.” Frosty replied, laying himself down onto the snow. He knew he was going to have to re-round himself out again after he gets back up again. 

Karen and her 5 friends all climbed up on top of Frosty and started collectively tickling the snowman to their heart's content. The bright, curly-haired boy was tickling his left armpit, while the brown, curly-haired twin brother was tickling the right armpit! The little guy in the green elf costume was tickling his left foot, while the boy in the blue coat was tickling Frosty’s other foot. The blonde-haired girl with the pink bow was tickling Frosty’s neck! and lastly, Karen was up on his belly, squishing and poking his big belly. 

Frosty bursted out in gleeful laughter almost right away! He was wiggling around, laughing, giggling and cackling! “WAHAhahahait! Guhuhuhuys! Plehehehehease! Ihihihit tihihihicklehehes!” Frosty reacted. 

All 6 of the ticklers stopped tickling right away. Karen looked at the two boys at Frosty’s feet, and gave them the go ahead. 

“Which foot tickles more, Frosty?” The little guy in the elf costume asked before tickling the left foot first. “This foot?” 

Frosty giggled and covered his mouth to muffle his laughter a little bit. “Yehehehes, ihihit tihihicklehes.” Frosty replied. 

The little boy stopped his fingers, and looked at the other boy. The other boy started tickling the right foot next. “Or this foot?” The blue-sweatered boy asked. 

Frosty laughed at about the same level as the left foot, but shook his head left and right this time as he laughed. “Bohohohoth ahare ticklihihihish!” Frosty replied. 

“Okay! Now let’s test out the armpits!” The twins declared at the same time. Both the boys started tickling the armpits at the same time. And boy, was Frosty laughing up a storm! But he was having a blast! And Karen could tell! 

Afterwards, Frosty giggled as he sat up. “And now you all know: I'm even ticklish. In fact, I'm all livin'! I *am* alive! What a neat thing to happen to a nice guy like me.” He reacted proudly.  

Now what’s another story…How about…How The Grinch Stole Christmas? 

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch, you really are a heel! You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch. You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel! Just face the music, you're a monster, Mr. Grinch, Your heart's an empty hole! Your brain is full of spiders, you've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch! I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole! 

Well…Only one person would touch him without needing that thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole. And who was that certain person? Well, it was Cindy Lou Who, of course! And Cindy Lou who grew to really like being with the grinch! And The Grinch grew to enjoy Cindy’s company too! 

One day after Christmas day, Cindy was playing with a doll that had lots of functions and buttons on it. One of the functions happened to be on her belly, where it would declare the following words: “Hahaha! That tickles!” 

It was an innocent little toy, and Cindy loved it! She loved pushing all the buttons on the little doll all the time! So often, her Dad encouraged her to play with it outside so he and her Mom could catch a break from the repeated button sounds. 

Cindy then headed over to Mt. Crumpit, and knocked on The Grinch’s door. The grinch smiled and invited her in. “What’s this doll you have?” The Grinch asked. 

Cindy proudly played the different buttons on the doll, showing him what every button does. “I got it from Santa!” 

“That’s wonderful!” The Grinch said with a smile. Though, it was unclear if this smile was forced, or genuine. Was The Grinch annoyed to see such a noisy doll in Cindy’s little hands? Or was he genuinely happy to see Cindy enjoying herself? No one could really tell you. If he was hiding his disgust, he was certainly hiding it really well. 

Cindy gave the belly another poke, and giggled when the doll laughed. “Hahaha! That tickles!” The doll declared. 

Cindy laughed harder and looked up at Grinch. “I’m tickling her!” She reacted, before looking at the doll. She poked it again. “Hahaha! That tickles!” The doll said again. Cindy giggled again, before looking at Grinch and poking him in roughly the same spot. “Tickle!” 

The Grinch couldn’t help himself: He jumped and put up his hands in arrest, almost like it was a gun that poked him rather than a finger. 

Cindy looked up at Grinch, confused. “What?” She asked. 

The Grinch looked to the side. “Uuuh…” He mumbled. 

Cindy looked at the doll’s belly…then at the Grinch’s belly. 

Then, Cindy gasped. 

The grinch widened his eyes at this. Uh oh…

She smiled brightly! 

He could feel little droplets of sweat dripping down his hairy, flat forehead. 

And lastly, she squealed and dropped the doll! “GRINCH IS TICKLISH!” Cindy declared, grabbing Grinch’s leg and hugging it tightly. “Grinch is ticklish! Grinch is ticklish! Grinch is ticklish!” Cindy declared. 

“No I’m not!” Grinch lied. 

“Then what’s this?” Cindy poked his belly again, causing a grunt and a hiccup to leave the Grinch’s mouth. 

The Grinch widened his eyes and slowly looked at Cindy. And Cindy had this big, mischievous grin on her silly, little face. A grin that was both adorable, and fear-inducing at once! 

“Grinch is ticklish!” Cindy grabbed Grinch’s one leg, and pulled it out in front of him. Grinch eventually lost his balance and fell onto his back. With the Grinch now on the ground, Cindy happily crawled onto the Grinch and started skittering her tiny fingers all over the Grinch’s belly and sides. “Tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle!” Cindy teased. 

“Wahahait- CIHINDY NOHOHOHO! AHAHAHAHAHA!” Grinch bursted out cackling and laughing right away. His laugh was almost manic! And yet, it was the most non-grumpy she’s ever seen him! ever! 

Cindy giggled at his crazy laughter and just kept tickling him. “You’re so ticklish! More ticklish than me!” Cindy declared next. 

“IHIHI’M NOHOHOT!” Grinch argued. 

Cindy giggled into her hand and took in a big breath. She blew a big raspberry onto his fluffy belly, sending him HOWLING with laughter! “BAAAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAhahahaha!” Grinch laughed like the world depended on it. 

His strong, loud laughter echoed its way through the Mountain, and out the windows into the whole town of Whoville. Almost everyone with good or bad hearing, could hear the Grinch’s manic cackles and genuine laughs echo throughout the whole town. And…the who’s smiled at the idea of the grumpy ol’ Mr. Grinch, laughing himself utterly silly. They all seemed to enjoy the sound of his laughter! And when the laughter stopped, they almost all frowned with sadness in unison…because that may be the last time they would ever hear him laugh for a long, long time. 

But thankfully for those who’s, Cindy wasn’t done her little tickle attack quite yet…

I also want to take a moment to remember those fighting in the war right now. I want to remember those who are alone on Christmas. I want to remember those who are struggling with mental/physical health issues this year. I also want to remember those who are struggling to make ends meet during the Christmas holidays. And lastly: I want to remember those who have lost someone just before Christmas either this year, or in the past. Christmas can be a wonderful time, but it can also be a painful time for many. So even though I don't understand what it's like being in your situation, I still hope you find some hope and peace today. Cause despite our separate religions, our diverse ethnicities, our social classes, and our past...The world can collectively agree that being treated with respect and love is encouraged and appreciated.

The Countdown Is On!

I can't believe that there is only TWO more days until Christmas! This month. this year has just flown by! I can't lie 2022 has been a turd of a year and I am happy that it is almost at an end.

While I am looking forward to the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, I can't let the holiday come and go without another top 5 list to get you in a festive mood.

Today I am going to deck your halls with my top 5 Christmas specials! Long before streaming services and physical media, specials like A Charlie Brown Christmas could only be viewed once a year, unless "taped" off of TV during the broadcast.

Shows like this were an event. No matter what you were doing you made sure that you were bathed, in front of the TV, snack in hand, and ready when it came on. I miss those days, simpler times indeed.

Enough reminiscing, on to the list!

5. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

A Charlie Brown Christmas is definitely one of my favorite holiday offerings. A very relatable tale especially growing up Catholic and having participated in several Christmas pageants showcasing the Nativity story. I still volunteer for our church's live nativity :)

4. Frosty the Snowman (1969)

Ah... Frosty the Snowman, not only when this was airing did it mean Christmas was not too far off, but also painted a great picture of how that first snow made you feel as a kid. Snow always did seem like a magical event back then. It sparked imagination and creativity in your outdoor play, and it also had the ability to give you a day off from school! Today I could take or leave snow, mostly leave, but watching Frosty on wintry day with a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate, wrapped in a blanket and on the couch, you can easily be transported back in time.

3. A Claymation Christmas Celebration (1987)

A Claymation Christmas Celebration was extra special because it was, at the time a brand-new Christmas special. If you look at the previous entries on this list, they all predated me. The Claymation Christmas was riding on the success that the California Raisins stop motion animation advertisements were having. Classic Christmas carols were showcased such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" being performed by the California Raisins and a comical bell-choir performance of "Carol of the Bells." In between the performances the dinosaur hosts Rex and Herb go back and forth on the appropriate title and lyrics to "Here We Come A-Wassailing."

The show's creator Will Vinton had released similar specials that predate this one, but I was never aware of them until I got the DVD that included A Claymation Christmas Celebration and the other holiday themed shorts.

If you have never seen this, I highly recommend seeking it out.

2. Christmas Eve on Sesame Street (1978)

I shared a brief post about this special earlier, but Christmas Eve on Sesame Street was one of my favorites and holds a special place in my heart.

I don't recall this being on every year or catching it when it was on but the memories around this are what have it in my number two spot.

I remember one Christmas eve when I was too little to go to the evening Mass and I was home with my mom. I just remember watching this while she got things ready for the company that we would have over later that night. The two stand out memories for me were when Cookie Monster trying to write a last-minute letter to Santa eats his pencil and then later tries to call but eats the phone and near the end seeing the snow fall on Big Bird as he tries to wait up for Santa and falls asleep. I always felt bad for Big Bird because Oscar was a jerk to him.

It wouldn't be until many years later where I bought the DVD and re-watched for the first time in a long time.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

For years, at least in my mind, this was the big-time event. Christmas was here! With commercial breaks included Rudolph was an hour-long event. All other specials were just a half-hour so you knew this was special, and it was and still is today.

Rudolph was always very relatable as I think at some point in every child's life the sometimes feel like a "misfit." In the end however, the misfittiest of them all proves to be the most useful and is tasked with leading.

And there you have it, another list in the books. With so many good specials from the past, it was hard to pick my top five, but I did it and have no regrets!

What are some of your favorite Christmas specials? I would love to know.

Have a great Christmas!

And your spear of ice

My gabe, I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a back to stab on

A misc on a lover with a fire on his hat

A mann under cover, but you tore me apart

Now I've found a real love. You'll never crit me again

Last Smissmas

I gave you my hat

But the very next day you traded it away

This year

To save me from tears

I'll gift it to someone special

Last Smissmas

I gave you my hat

But the very next day you Traded it away

This year

To save me from tears

I'll gift it to someone special

A misc on a lover with a fire on his hat

I gave you my hat

A mann under cover, but you tore him apart

Maybe next year I'll gift it to someone—

I'll gift it to someone special

Special

Someone

Someone

I'll gift it to someone—

I'll gift it to someone special

Who trade me something in return

I'll gift it to someone—

Hold my hat and watch it burn

I'll gift it to someone—

I'll gift it to someone—

I'll gift it to someone special

I thought you were here to stay

How could you love me for a day

I thought you were someone special

Gave you my hat

I'll gift it to someone—

I'll gift it to someone—

Last Smissmas

I gave you my hat

You Traded it away

I'll gift it to someone—

next up a world of warcraft parody of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.

You know swifty and kungan and maydie and Bajheera

Asmond and Blizo and Garrosh and Varian

But do you recall

The most famous Warrior of all?

Randy the Red-Axed Warrior

Had a very shiny Axe

And if you ever got killed by it

You would even say that he hacks

All of the other Warriors

Used to laugh and call him names

They never let poor Randy

Join in any arena games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

The guildmaster came to say

"Randy, with your axe so bright

Won't you lead my raid tonight?"

Then how the raiders loved him

As they shouted out with glee

"Randy the Red-axed warrior

You'll go down in history"

Kinkmas day 2

xfem!reader. Mdni. 1kw. In which y/n gets asked about her favorite part about chris :). Enjoy <3 cw : drinking, cursing, face riding ofc.

If there was one thing about han jisung, it was that he really liked hosting parties.

Ones that’ll have you drunk off your ass until you can barely remember what happened the next day. And that’s only for a regular day— let it be a holiday, then You’re definitely fucked.

Like right now.

it’s only a small shindig and yet everyone’s words are already slurred. All 9 of you sat around a table, playing a hardcore game of truth or dare

with a drinking spin to it, per jisungs request.

Basically, if you didn’t do the dare given or get caught in a lie during truths, you’d have to drink. There was also this wild card thing, where if someone says a certain word everyone would have to drop to the floor and the last one there, would have to down the rest of the bottle.

you absolutely hated truth or dare. even in its non-liver-pickling-form.

You were a certified wuss puss and hated choosing dare, so you’d pick for truth through the whole round. But you were also bad at lying, so you also ended up drinking or telling some really embarrassing shit to your friends.

Even your boyfriend, Chris, was surprised by the things that he heard. Especially about the fact that at the beginning of your friendship, you didn’t exactly like him. Just “dealt” with him because he was jisungs friend.

“I can’t believe you didn’t like me.” Chris whined, head dramatically falling on to your shoulder. “What did I do to deserve this treatment?”

You flicked his forehead, “you stalked me.”

“I-“ he lifts his head, “I did not stalk you. you’re milking it.” Chris says, slightly offended.

“you took a picture of her schedule and changed your major just to talk to her.” Jeongin, who was on the other side of you, chimed in — and the both of you shared a quick high five.

“Down fucking bad. That’s crazy.” Hyunjin co-signed.

Chris rolled his eyes, “Shut up, I just wanted to make her fall for me.”

“By stalking me?” “It worked didn’t it?”

You sighed, “anyways, whose turn is it?”

The game continued on as planned. spinning the lil plastic bottle around, watching everyone crack under pressure and do up-scene things.

Changbin dares minho to kiss jisung— drink.

Seungmin asks jeongin if he was the one that ate his last bag of Cheetos — drink.

Felix asks Chris what’s the last thing he did on his phone. Texting you, obviously.

Everyone groans at the response and hyunjin reaches for the bottle again. You all watched as the thing twirls around, ready to choose its next victim.

“Fuck.” You groan as the head of the bottle slowly but surely stops in your direction.

“Well well well, if it isn’t mrs.truth.” Hyunjin said, deviously rubbing his hands together. “Do I really need to give you an option? Or should I just rip the bandaid off right now?”

“just spit it out, hwang. I don’t have all day.” you urge, mentally preparing yourself to drink that strong ass cocktail in your cup.

The blonde smirks at the weary look on your face before he parts his lips to speak, “y/n l/n, I ask of you-“

Everyone sighs, “oh here he go.” “shut it.”

“Anyways. What is your favorite part of Chris's body?” Hyunjin says finally and you can’t help but snort.

“Really? That’s it?” Changbin asks, slightly pissed. “all that build up for that lame ass question..”

Hyunjin holds his hands up, “my bad, couldn’t think of anything.”

“Welp, I’m not complaining.” You clap your hands together, a big smile on your face. The crew scowled at your happiness. They can stay mad for all you care.

“Okay… but what is your favorite part.” Chris asked looking at you intently. telling by the look on his face, he’d probably be happy with anything you say.

Which is why you don’t hesitate.

“Your nose.” You answer and watch as his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

“My nose?” He mimicked, hand reaching up to touch his the tip of said body part.

“You’re joking.” Jisung laughed, definitely not taking you seriously— but you were.

You shook your head, “nope. I’m being deadass.”

“Not on no corny shit, but you actually prefer his nose over something like his smile?”

“Or his dick” Seungmin adds and jeongin takes the shot glass out of his hands.

“You’ve drunk enough-“

Chris and the rest of them are perplexed by your answer, whole table erupting in questions of ‘why the hell’ and ‘what the fuck’.

“Guys, I don’t know why- I just find it attractive.” You try to settle them down but they just won’t give it up.

“You mean to tell me you just woke up one day and was like damn, I like his nose??” Hyunjin pushed on.

“yea actually.” You agree because to be honest, that’s pretty much what happened. excluding the things that led up prior to that revelation.

You remember it like it was yesterday,

—

It was one of those lazy days for you and Chris. Neither of you wanting to move from your position on the couch anytime soon. chris laying with his arms around your waist and you’re basically on top of him, hands carding through his hair.

Just being cozy with your boyfriend, in his hoodie, sharing kisses— soft ones for now.

But when his leg, that was slotted between your thighs, presses up against you : the small pecks turn into a full out makeout sesh.

You moan onto his lips as you rock your hips needily against his thigh. It was hard at first, Chris had to help you a bit by holding your sides and guiding you. But once you got the hang of it, you were a complete mess.

You pull back from the kiss, trying to focus on rutting your slutty heat on him. “C-Chris.” You stuttered out, glossy eyes looking down at him hungrily.

“What’s the matter, pretty?” He asks with a sickening sweet expression like he’s just ready to fulfill any demand you make.

“I want you so bad-“ you whine, “want you to touch me.”

Chris tilted his head, “oh yea? touch you where? Here?” He pushed his thigh further against you, making you choke on a moan.

“God, please yes.” Your boyfriend chuckles at your vocal response.

“Since you’re asking so nicely, how about we try something new today?” He suggests and your movements come a halt.

“Something like what?” You pounder, looking at him skeptically.

“Sit on my face.”

“E-excuse me?” Did you hear him correctly? He wanted you to what now?

“Chris… I don’t know.” You say, heat rising up from the back of your neck. There was no way you were getting your thick ass up there. Like yea, it seems hot in books— but you’re not the dainty little main character.

You had thighs 2x bigger than his head and yet he wanted you to suffocate him.

Chris sighs as he watches those gears in your head turn, already knowing the inner fight you were probably having with yourself.

“Y/n, just trust me. I know what I’m doing.” He persuades, thumbs softly rubbing your thighs in a reassuring manner. “I just want to take care of you, baby.”

lip tucked between your teeth, you think for a moment. It wouldn’t hurt to try….you’ve always thought about doing it, and the way your boyfriend was begging…fuck it

“Fine.”

Chris was ecstatic watching you stand up and pull off your shorts. He was already eating up the thought of you fucking his face in his favorite hoodie. “Cmere, sweetheart.” He beckons, holding out his hand for you.

You take it timidly, still not sure on how this was gonna turn out. Chris instructs you onto his face, thighs on both sides of his head while you held onto the armrest of the couch.

It was so embarrassing. Even though chris has eaten you out before, it’s just the angle that got to you….that’s why you still haven’t sat down fully, still scared of crushing your man.

“Y/n.” Chris calls from below, growing impatient.

“don’t rush me I’m freaking out up here.”

the male rolled his eyes before wrapping his arms around your thighs and forcing you down. Whatever fear you had just a few seconds ago disappeared as Chris circles your clit with his tongue.

“Fuck fuck fuck,” you moan, head tossed back in pleasure.

Chris grunts as he slides down, dipping into your gushing hole. He drinks up every drop, licking up every part of your spongy insides. then there’s his big nose, nudging and flicking your clit, giving you that extra amount of satisfaction.

this sends you into an absolute feral state. hips grinding down as you bit down on the sleeve of Chris’s hoodie, trying to keep in your cries.

Chris doesn’t take to lightly to that. He loves hearing your voice, especially when he’s supplying you good head. So out of spite, his lips latch back on to your Sensitive bud— sucking on it like he was trying to leave a hickey there.

and you're crying your heart out, the feeling was so intense you just could not sit still. but Chris had you in such a tight hold, It was impossible for you to run away.

“wait, fuck, Im gonna cum!” You sob, body trembling at how fast your orgasm hits.

soft hiccups leave your lips as Chris slurps up the remnants of your high, tongue laid out flat as you ride it out.

-

“so that’s why you like my nose so much?” Chris laughs as he pulls up in your drive way.

“Stop acting like you don’t know.” you huff, the tip of your ears warming up.

“Sorry, sorry” your boyfriend snickers before leaning and pulling you into chaste kiss, drinking the alcohol taste off your tongue.

You pull back, “round two?”

“I’m game.”

Murdered Lovers pt 4

Here’s a little run down, all of the victims are from my high school or college. So this cuts it down for us all. I pulled out my old graduation books from both high school and college and found six people who went with me from the beginning of high school to the end of college: Mika Rosewood, Greg McMillen, Jessica Delo, Matt Miller, Lily Ni, and Yuno Gi. I asked Jones to take half while I took the other three and started talking to the other three.

The first one I saw was Mika, she had been my friend since the start when I told her what happened to my exes. She broke down. She was very close to Melody. They were like sisters, they shared everything “I can’t, no… Why is our songbird gone? She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s SHE’S GONEEEEEE!!!” Mika broke down and started sobbing even harder, I couldn’t handle it and just held and cried with her. We both lost a part of ourselves the day she died, everything we did with her seemed so faint.I patted her head in hopes that she’ll calm down. “Where were you the past few weeks?” She wiped her tears and looked at me, her eyes looked so tired, drained of the lights she just lost. I don’t even wanna know how I might look “This week I was out with Johnny, you remember him right? Dark hair oh so dreamy eyes. We went to Six Flags, look.” She then showed me a photo of her and Johnny at the park having a great time. I thanked Mika and on to the next person.

Jessica Ramon, she still lives in her old home after her parents death. I used to go over to her house when we had work to do. I rang Jessica’s doorbell waiting for an answer. She answers and… her eyes looked so dead, and it's black and blue. I asked to come in but then I heard a voice from inside “JESSICA YOU WORTHLESS SLUT! GET BACK IN HERE AND MAKE ME SOME FOOD, NOW!” Jessica shut her eyes in response to the yelling, “Please… Can you come back?” I couldn’t just leave her like this… Not with Jeff. I told her that I needed to talk with her now and that I can’t come back later.

She then opened the door to let me in, I walked to the living room and saw Jeff. “What the hell is this mook doing here, Jess?” I wanted to punch him in that moment, but I was drained, I wanted nothing more but to sleep. I then explained to him how all of my exes were murdered and I’m looking for the killer. Jeff started laughing,. “Oh, your luck runs low regarding your love life.” That was a line he had crossed with me. I wished to punch his big red nose looking like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. But it was Jessica who pulled me into the next room with her, she started cutting up lamb meat and vegetables. I asked her where she was when all of them were killed. “You see how he treats me. I can’t pick up heavy things anymore because of Jeff, I’m sorry about them, I am, but I didn’t do this. I hope you find the person who hanged them up.” I leave but not without flipping Jeff off.

The last person I had looked for was Miller. I walked up to the steps, my first thought was he wasn’t home because the lights were off. But one ring of the doorbell and the lights came on. I heard the sound of feet moving closer to the door. “Yeah, who is it-” He stopped to look at me. I haven’t seen Matt in such a long time, he changed… He use to be so skinny, like the meat on his body wasn’t that strong, but now. He was bigger much stronger than he was before. He walked me in and asked what I was doing here, and I told him the same thing I told the others. “Oh wow love, I’m sorry this happened to them all but. I was home alone, just watching movies, tuning up on my cooking skills, and well. Working out.” Matt was a great friend to all of us. I could feel the shift in the air from a peaceful air to a more somber and bluey feel. That’s when I got a call from my Jones and he said that he has the rest of the alibis. I got up and thanked Matt for his help, but not without him grabbing me and turning me around to look me in the eyes. “Make the right choice, find the person who killed them. And we should catch up.” He then hugged me and let me go on my way. After hearing what Jones had to say, it was time for me to finally bring this killer to light. Once and for all.

Mika Rosewood: Upon talking to her she seems in dismay when talking about the murders, Her alibi was that She was at Six Flags with her now boyfriend Jhonny Gat. Showing a picture with the timestamp of the time the first murder happened. She would use her right hand to pick up napkins to wipe her tears. She shows no signs of marks.

Greg McMillen: He is out of state for family matters. The only person there was the house sitter that he was paying for three months.

Jessica Ramon: Jessica is subjected to a lot of abuse from her boyfriend Jeff. She’s scared and timid. She’ll always do what she’s told to do and wouldn’t speak up for herself. She cooks and cleans mainly with her left hand, her body covered with marks and scars. Once this is over I’ll help her.

Matt Miller: He is a fairly build man now, once picked on now the bodybuilder champion. He was all alone the night of when the victims were killed. He uses his left hand for most things he does leave a fondness of cooking the best cookies I ever had in my life.

Lily Ni: Moved to China last year.

Yuno Gi: She was also alone on the nights of the murders but she tends to work with a lot of sharp objects, she works for a company that makes knives she got an order for a bunch of dull knives a few months ago. Her left hand is her best.

All I need to do now is just put the pieces together for me to close this damned murder cases.

A Christmas Carol: Do NOT speak to me if you don’t think the Patrick Stewart one is superior. I am correct.

Top Gun: Maverick: I hate that I love this movie but Glen Powell is RUDE and needs to stop looking like that.

The Outsider: My parents and I have a tradition of binging a horror mini series the day after Christmas and this was a good Stephen King miniseries. I will never think about it again though.

Encanto: Okay. Listen. It was cute. A very good movie even. But I let tiktok make me believe this would change my life. It did not. Music goes hard though. Ending felt a tad rushed.

We got to speak with D Truth the Professional about his favorite holiday traditions, favorite holiday music, and upcoming projects.

So, let’s dive in:

What is your favorite holiday song and why?

Christmas Time Is Here, Instrumental Version Many Christmases as a young boy, I would go to my granny's house and watch A Charlie Brown Christmas on VHS. Such a short and sweet movie, really made me think about the reason for the season as a child. As an adult, Christmas does not hit the same; this song always brings me back to the time when I did get presents, when we did decorate the house, when it snowed in Chicago (I don't see much snow these days when I go back in visit). The vocal version is kinda meh because that children's choir is very, very out of tune; I still love that version though. But I'll take just the instrumental trio over it for sure.

What were the traditions around the holidays in your house growing up?

Eh, none really other than Christmas dinner where my Granny Doris would make mac and cheese that I devoured without fail.

If you could record your dream holiday duet with anyone dead or alive what would it be?

I would love to duet Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer with DMX. One of the best version of that song; I think it would be next level with some D Truth magic behind it. RIP DMX. What is the first holiday track you ever learned?

Pretty sure “Joy To The World” was in my intro piano book as a wee youngin. Alfred's Adult Piano, Book One, Lesson One. Learned it in 1st grade.

What are you currently working on? What can you tell us about it?

Our upcoming 4th album, Necessity, got a grunge inspired band I'm recording with, no name on it yet. And a Silk Sonic tribute band.
