Hey, since I’ve seen more people on my dash talking about The Muppets in general lately, here’s some links to older muppet media I’ve had trouble looking for in the past and even though they don’t seem as hard to find now, a lot of people might not have heard about them if they aren’t into muppets, so if you’re interested or want to watch something different or just kill some time here ya go

(All or most of these are uploaded by the same user and while their account has tons of muppet media it’s a little scattered so I wanted to put these specific ones together for ease)

Here’s Hey Cinderella!, a muppet production of Cinderella. I love the stepsisters and this has one of the few muppet monsters that have ever made me feel uneasy

Here’s the Muppets Musicians of Bremen, which features no human actors,

Here’s The Frog Prince, featuring the first appearances of dear Robin and Sweetums

Here’s The Great Santa Claus Switch, this upload has multiple sections of video because it contains everything featured in the dvd, the third one is the start of the movie itself

Here’s the lovely, heartwarming Emmet Otters Jugband Christmas

And here’s the two original pilots, The Muppets Valentines Show plays first and is then followed by The Muppets: Sex and Violence. They stick a little bit they’ll play through just fine.

I hope people enjoy and if there’s any interest I’d be more than happy to make another group post with links to other older muppet specials, just let me know!!! I watched all these and others while I was pretty sick last week

#Muppets #The Muppets #Old Media #Videos #a lot of these are on YouTube but I wanted to link these archive ones #they have no ads and they aren’t in sections aside from some dvd uploads #but those are uploaded in sections according to the dvd not like every seven minutes #I might delete this post I’m worried it might be risky???

Some DA facts collected together, from recent tweets -

GhilDirthalen: "the frostbite engine didn’t do ending slides, so the slides you see in DAI are actually paintings that quickly spawn in your bed room. You can zoom out during the end with fly cam" John Epler: "i remember when we were trying to do these and we're like 'hey can we display still images' and the answer was 'uhh it's a lot more complicated than you think' so this was the solution. i set up all the cameras, and I THINK level design handled all the scripting logic" JE: "anyways videogames are basically held together by magic and hope and it's a legitimate miracle anytime one gets finished"

JE: "When you 'sprint' on a horse in DAI it doesn't really do much because frostbite couldn't stream in levels fast enough, so we just added speed lines and changed the camera so it felt faster. JE: "i've carried the guilt of this for years. guilt is an ocean, and i'm tired of drowning." "feels like I just murdered Santa Claus in front of many of you" [source], "feels like i just declassified Area 51" [source]. "i'm just glad the truth is finally out there" [source] Seb Hanlon: "ME1 did it first" JE: "just to be SUPER clear, riding a horse is faster than being on-foot, but the difference between normal horse run and horse 'sprint' is non-existent except for making it look faster". "the base horse speed is faster than unhorsed run speed, but horse sprint doesn’t move you faster than normal horse speed" [source] JE: "there were three days on that project where my entire job was ‘try to make horse sprint feel faster’" User: "I swear to god John I knew it, I fucking knew it, none of the mounts have different speeds, either?" JE: "i actually don't know the answer to that one, i just set up the gameplay cameras and did what what i was told." Seb: "but they have different sounds /screams in Red Hart" JE: "no one believed that's what a Red Hart really sounds like but they are fucked up animals."

Seb: "The save system in DAI loads with all doors in the area closed. This is a problem if there’s a door between you and a party member when the save happens, because they can’t open doors. If they can’t path to you, they get teleported to join you before the fade-up from black." Seb: "This “system” was rigged entirely in Frostbite Schematic logic quite late in development once we realized it was a problem." JE: "i vaguely remember that the first time we really saw this problem was when we were putting together the Redcliffe demo for... whatever event we showed Redcliffe at." Seb: "Yeah I think that was the map I tested the teleport-fallback in. Dorian was there in those saves for sure?" JE: "yeah 100%. it was when you first end up in the future and you're fighting your way to the locked-up followers. i think we were playing it in Hanged Man or Neverwinter and we discovered 'oh shit our followers can't get to you'"

Seb: "Zither’s first-pass ability icons originally echoed a broad swath of iconic album art. The UI art team made me so happy. Why didn’t it ship? Ain’t nobody chasing down those IP clearances for an April Fools DLC."

JE: "in DA2 Mark of the Assassin, if you let Baron Arlange live after the first encounter with him, he shows up very deep in the background of several scenes, creeping on Hawke and the party around stalagmites and around corners." "no one asked for this but i put it in as a little treat because i thought it was very funny. i still do. oh the scene where you get captured in the vault by Prosper and his guards, that's the same 5 (6?) guards just cycled through multiple times." [source, two]

JE: "i've told this story before but the reason Iron Bull's romance scene takes place in a separate tower is because the mocap for everyone walking in on you assumed that there was a doorway, and the player's bedroom ended up having stairs. so we moved the scene to the Sex Tower"

Seb: "DAI: To enable party followers’ AI to use their defensive abilities (dodge/block/parries), enemies spawn a “telegraph volume” as part of their ability wind-ups. This tells the party AI what kind of reaction it can use to counter (if it’s not on cooldown and it can branch in time)." "“Parry” telegraphs are the ‘weakest’ (can activate block, dodge, or parry abilities); “dodge” telegraphs are the ‘strongest’ (dodge or get fucked). There’s an all-abilities AI cooldown on these responses; before this was added, I saw Cass perfect block for minutes at a time." [source]

Seb: "the Qunari Ashaad in Trespasser is the only combat creature I personally implemented; and the only one intentionally plays both ranged and melee. and it was great fun watching play-testers climb a ladder to close and shut down his range attack—and get kicked off by the sweep"

Seb: "I’m still personally pleased that the Red Templar faction in DAI has such a strong overarching principle: “power corrupts”. The more elite the creature, the less human they are."

Seb: "Both the Children in DAO Awakening and the Harvester in DAO hide their extra body parts *inside* their torso mesh before they appear."

Seb: "Varric in DA2 is the most specialest snowflake; he’s not like any other dwarf because his rig includes all the Bianca animation bones."

Seb: "DAI’s Emerald Graves was the map where we hammered out the conceptual balance of using abilities based on the enemy composition and position."

Seb: "There’s an animation-driven movement mode in DAI that’s only used by a handful of large creatures; the dragon and the Red Templar Behemoth are the ones I remember."

Seb: "“making two combat creatures at melee range face, and not slide past, each other when they’re playing attack animations” took a surprising amount of problem solving on DAI; most of the basic-attack animations have both moving and standing variations for this reason."

Seb: "30 seconds of good combat gameplay takes more-or-less the same development effort as 10 minutes of good combat gameplay. Which is more than you’d think. IYKYK."

Seb: "The original concept for the Grand Fear Demon at the end of DAI’s Fade was a “level boss” - instead of a single big combat creature (like a dragon), the idea was it was so big it would attack out of the darkness with “limbs” (creatures) that shared a health pool. Cut for scope."

Seb: "The core combat ability animation/effects/branching system in DAI is called “CSM”, for “combat state machine”. It’s the third generation spiritual successor to the first system called CSM that I worked on, built for a project called Revolver…"

Seb: "The “impassable” purple fire zones in Trespasser were a tremendous pain in the ass, because both: - making them do enough damage fast enough to be a lock-and-key for invincibility powers as intended - keeping party members from following you in and getting bug-zappered" User: "I hate to tell you this but my first time through, I was determined to get through and I did not know that invincibility powers were literally down the stairs so I spent 10 minutes and eventually managed to get through with some mage shenanigans" Seb: "by the time we got to trespasser there were so many abilities you MIGHT have that MIGHT JUST get you through that we gave it our best shot and said “good enough”" User: "I died at that thing SO MANY TIMES until I realized there was an invincibility boost, lol" Seb: "clearly signaling “THIS IS A THING YOU WILL DO LATER” without saying it, especially if it’s a mechanical systems thing, can be surprisingly difficult"

Seb: "during development on DAI someone made a staff that, when used (hit the ground with the butt animation) spawned a bunch of nugs that ran off in all directions. for checking pathmesh bounds, obvs"

So much about current DC is so casually or clearly antisemitic it's just painful at this point.

So I was going through the Solicitations for Dc's December comics and I got so fucking mad To start it off, one of the first things I see when I open Instagram after Rosh HaShana is Superman drawn as Jesus/a Christ figure for an official cover by Jorge Jimenez. Then, there's an entire event throughout November and December in DC that's centered around Santa Claus. All well and fine, but two of the leading characters that have been chosen to hang around Santa are Harley Quinn and Damian Wayne, both very much ethnically Jewish at least.

These two characters' Jewishness is ambiguous and barely mentioned, so maybe DC just forgot? But that's exactly part of it, how these characters are very much Jewish going into their families and heritage, but DC chooses to ignore that repeatedly, making that part of their identities irrelevant and unmentioned. Not only that, but DC keeps hiring the same artist who's known to be a N@zi (and a CP artist), Otto Schmidt, for some of their Christmas and Santa covers. It makes me soooo mad and it's so, so wrong on so many levels.

The last time in recent memory I can recall a character's Jewish heritage being acknowledged in a recent DC comic I read, was with Hal Jordan, in Knight Terrors: Green Lantern, only because a Twitter user told the series writer Hal was Jewish, or he wouldn't know otherwise. I never understand why it's the fans' obligation to remind a writer of a character's heritage or ethnicity, why isn't it already known to the writer? Why are these things, which are a big part of so many people's lives are so largely ignored in stories that discuss these people's lives?

It's a gut kick at the worst level and it hurts like hell. It makes it a million times worse that it's not only Judaism and characters' Jewishness. It's all aspects and types of culture, from Selina Kyle's essentially erased and forgotten of ethnicity to whitewashing Damian Wayne and so on. God I hate it.

🆕 Crystal Springs Chapter 29: Mind Goop now up on ao3/ff dot net!

Chapter 29: Mind Goop

After a good night's rest, Blaise sets to work tying up loose ends among the denizens of the North Pole, and charming his way through Santa's in-laws. Meanwhile, Santa crashes Jack's pity party and Elle checks in with Jacqueline, maybe a little too literally.

ao3 | ff dot net

In my heart of hearts, I call this chapter the "Blinter Gay Panic" chapter. Those mofos are out here charming the crap outta Carol, outta Santa, and Blaise does a NUMBER on the in-laws (not before they do a number on him!)

Have an excerpt ;)

Blaise looked down. Below him, baby Buddy had tottered over, sitting in the foam on the floor and smacking it with his hands. Carol rushed over, picking him up and pulling him out. He giggled, kicking his legs as foam went flying. “Looks like someone needs to be hosed down,” Santa joked, hoping to cut the tension. “No need,” Blaise said, snapping his fingers again. In a flash, Buddy was clean; foam gone, his clothes nicely pressed, and his bib clear of food stains new and old. “There we go! All tidy,” Blaise said, making a silly face at the toddler. Buddy giggled, kicking his legs happily as Carol sat him on her side. Clearing his throat, Blaise looked up at the Claus’s extended family and flashed them a prize-winning smile. “Hi. Frost, Blaise Frost. Governor of the Capitol of Crystal Springs and baby cleaner extraordinaire.” He winked, his hair fwooshing to life, briefly bending like a flickering candle before once more burning brightly at an acceptable height. “Oh, wow,” Sylvia said, sultry. “Wow!” Bud agreed, impressed. “Bud Newman! Father-in-Law of Christmas!” Placing down the fire extinguisher, he stuck out his hand. Blaise shook it enthusiastically. “Some grip you got there, Governor.” “Playing with fire works wonders on the old grippers,” he teased, letting go of Bud’s hand and turning to look at Sylvia. “And this is the lovely Mrs. Newman?” “Just Sylvia is fine,” she said, patting her hair and giving him her hand. Blaise took it, very briefly kissing her knuckles. She flushed. “He’s got ‘em,” Santa whispered to Carol. “Hook, line, and sinker baby,” Carol replied, the pair of them bumping fists.

Story summary and SafyreSky Industries Ramblings below the cut!

It's been almost a year since Jack Frost thawed and things are looking...well, not so great. Jack's powers are seemingly gone. Without them, the Dome that keeps the North Pole safe from the cold and its magic controlled is melting, putting everything and everyone magical at risk. Unable to hide his power shortage any longer, Jack is forced to admit the truth. Thankfully, there is a solution: enacting the Legate Law, bringing Jack and the sister that he hurt so many centuries ago back together again. But when Jacqueline starts experiencing destructive blackouts, the pair are forced to head back home to Crystal Springs, bringing Jack face to face with the rest of the family. Needless to say, between getting his powers back, helping his sister figure out what in the FROST those blackouts even were, reconciling with his parents, meeting the two even younger siblings he didn't even KNOW he had, NOT TO MENTION the ancient threat that's had it out for the ENTIRE Frost family finally making a move? Saving Christmas (regrettably) is looking to be a little bit...complicated.

SO sorry for the SLIGHT delay!! I think I spent like 75% of December taking care of sick husband/being a little low energy/feeling unwell, and then holidays came around and were BUSY. AND FULL OF MORE SICKNESS. This time the hubbers and I got hit with a stomach bug like no other AFTER CHRISTMAS DAY. I've never had to put so much effort into tossing my cookies in my LIFE. GAH.

The other problem I ran into was, funnily enough, Jacqueline and Elle. Their mind goop scene wasn't hitting right, so I let the chapter sit for a bit while rereading older Jacquie/Elle bits and rereading Rules of Engagement and when I finally looked back at it I realized the PROBLEM was that THESE TWO GOOBERS. HAD M O R E TO SAY TO ONE ANOTHER!!!!!!

WHAT DO YOU TWO HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELVES?

UNBELIEVABLE.

Goobers aside, here it FINALLY is :3.

🆕 this chapter:

Blaise decided he was going to be present for the rescue Polly mission, too

(that was a whole OTHER writing problem, oy vey)

(the cast has taken control. i don't even think i'm in the CAR anymore! I think I fell out!)

Both he and I continue to be plagued by CS Lore (magical incidents and how they are taken care of, the CS equivalent of "Police" and how they work, Mother Nature apparently having absolute power in extreme circumstances--though that checks out, AND some Call/Fae War Lore Drops)

This, of course, means you all get fresh CS Lore!

Next time I rework CS it's gonna be to separate it from Fandom and make it a publishable original work

WORD COUNT: CS 2014 (OG)->6,055k CS 202X-> 15,444k

Yet another MASSIVE change lmao

And I think that about covers it! MUCHAS thanks to mr alex hirsch for unleashing gravity falls onto the world and making me aware of GRUNKLE as a title, which Lucy 100% would use and WILL USE. I think Sylvia is like "just Sylvia is fine dear" and Lucy's like "Consider: GRAUNTIE SYLVIA!" (bc you can't convince me that Bud and Sylvia wouldn't be brought into the blended family the way the Millers and Scott did it, lmao)

Goal for Chapter 30: write it, first off, lmao. I'm two scenes in?? But I'm HOPING to have it ready for Crystal Spring's TENTH Birthday on the 20th of this month. TEN YEARS. MAHOOSIVE. AH.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter and enjoy your weekends! I will be cleaning at my folk's house so ANY AND ALL NICE WORDS AND COMMENTS AND DISTRACTIONS ARE APPRECIATED AS I AM TIRED AND FAMILY'D OUT AND WILL NEED THE SEROTONIN, LOL.

25 Days of BeChloe Christmases 2022

Day 13 - Santa Baby

Prompt from FanFiction User RJRMovieFan: I would love a sequel about Beca Noelle Claus and her wife, Chloe Claus (Chapter 6, "The Mrs. Clause" from 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases-2021). Chloe wants to have kids, so she and Beca go to a fertility clinic in "Barden, GA."

Note: I'm asking you to suspend your belief and just accept that getting pregnant at a fertility clinic is quick and easy.

"So, we're really doing this?" Beca asked Chloe as she helped the elves ready the smaller sleigh for their trip.

"We've talked about it enough," Chloe said. "Now it's time to do something about it, dontcha think?"

"You're right, dear," Beca said.

"Of course I am," Chloe said, kissing Beca on the cheek.

"Okay, guys, make sure you set the GPS coordinates to Barden, Georgia, USA."

"We know, Santa," Elf Randy said. "It's not our first rodeo."

Beca glared at him. "You know there are a lot of elves who would love to have your job."

"Santa, leave Elf Randy alone," Chloe said. "He and the other elves have been getting you where you need to be for a while. And they haven't sent you to the wrong place yet, have they?"

"No, dear," Beca said.

"Now apologize to Elf Randy," Chloe said.

"But, he-"

"Apologize. And, make it sincere."

"Yes, dear," Beca said. Clearing her throat, she said, "Elf Randy, I sincerely apologize for questioning your abilities to set the correct GPS coordinates."

Elf Randy stood looking at Santa Beca.

"Elf Randy," Chloe said, getting the elf's attention. "Tell Santa thank you and that you accept her apology."

"Yes, Mrs. Clause," Elf Randy said and cleared his throat. "Thank you, Santa. I accept your apology."

"Good," Chloe said, smiling at everyone. "Let's go. We do have an appointment to keep."

Beca helped Chloe into the sleigh as the elves finished the takeoff preparations.

"This is it," Beca said.

"Let's go!" Chloe said excitedly.

"On Snowcone," Beca called out, snapping the reins.

Snowcone snorted and started running; soon, the sleigh was airborne.

~~ 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~~

"I can't believe we're almost there," Chloe said, her excitement palpable.

"Engaging the invisibility shield," Beca said as she flipped the switch. "Now, we just need to find a place to land. Oh, there!" Beca pointed out a clear space and guided Snowcone toward it.

The landing was a bit bumpy, and Beca and Chloe were jostled. They exited the sleigh, and Beca made sure the coast was clear before stepping away.

"That was a bit rough, Snowcone," Beca said. "We'll practice your landings when we get back to the North Pole."

Snowcone snorted, lowered his head, and pawed the ground.

"Don't get sassy with me," Beca said.

"Beca," Chloe said, putting a hand on her arm. "We have to check into our hotel and go to the clinic. If we don't leave now, we're going to be late for our appointment at the clinic."

"Oh, right," Beca said, grabbing their suitcase from the sleigh.

Beca took Chloe's hand and pulled out her phone to see where they had to go. "It's this way."

After checking in, Beca called an Uber to take them to the clinic. A short while later, Beca and Chloe made it to the fertility clinic. Once inside, they were greeted by a buxom brunette.

"Welcome to the Barden Family Fertility Clinic, may I help you?" the brunette said.

"Yes, thank you, Stacie," Beca said. "We have an appointment."

"How do you know my name?" Stacie asked, furrowing her brows.

"Um," Beca mumbled, looking at Chloe.

"She read your name tag," Chloe said, pointing at Stacie's chest.

"Oh, yeah," Stacie said. "Of course. May I have your names please?"

"Beca and Chloe Mitchell," Beca said.

Stacie looked them up on her computer.

"Ah, here you are," Stacie said. "You'll both be seeing Dr. Posen. She has a ninety-five percent success rate. Have a seat and we'll call you back shortly."

"Thank you, Stacie," Chloe said, taking Beca's hand.

Chloe led Beca to a seat and sat down. Beca was chuckling.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Beca said, looking around before whispering, "It's just Stacie is on both the naughty and nice list. That doesn't happen very often."

"Hmmm," Chloe said, nervously bouncing her leg up and down.

"Are you okay?" Beca asked.

"Yeah," Chloe said. "I'm just nervous. We're about to find out if we can have a baby, Beca. That's huge."

Beca smiled and kissed Chloe. "I love you. You are going to be the best mom."

"Thank you," Chloe said. "I love you, too."

"Beca and Chloe Mitchell," Stacie called out. "Dr. Posen will see you now. Follow me, please."

Beca and Chloe got up and followed Stacie.

~~ 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~~

Beca and Chloe were both examined and given clean bills of health. They were sitting in Dr. Posen's office to discuss the next steps.

"So, which of you wants to be the carrier?" Dr. Posen asked.

"I do," Chloe said, raising her hand.

Beca smiled at Chloe but spoke to Dr. Posen. "We'd like to use my eggs if possible."

"We can do that," Dr. Posen said. "Since your wife will be the one carrying the child, we can start today on the Reciprocal IVF Process."

"What does that entail?" Beca asked.

"It's a basic four-step process," Dr. Posen said. "First, we will give you both medication to synchronize your menstrual cycles."

"We've lived together for quite some time," Chloe said, chuckling. "We're already in sync with each other."

"Oh, really?" Dr. Posen said. "Well, that's good. So we can move on to the next step and retrieve eggs from Beca and fertilize them. Then we wait a couple of days to transfer the fertilized eggs into Chloe. Do you have a donor in mind?"

"Not yet," Chloe said. "We want to use an anonymous donor."

"Great," Dr. Posen said, standing. "Let's have you take a look at our donors so you can pick one."

Dr. Posen showed Beca and Chloe into a room with shelves of binders.

"What are you looking for in a donor?" Dr. Posen asked.

"We'd like someone with the same color hair and eyes as Beca," Chloe said.

"Okay," Dr. Posen said as she went to a shelf and pulled out a binder. "This binder has brunette men with blue eyes. Take a look through here and see if anyone catches your attention."

Dr. Posen set the binder on the table, and Chloe pulled it to her.

"Once you've made a selection, press the button next to the door," Dr. Posen said. "A light will come on, so we know you're ready."

"Thank you, doctor," Beca said.

Dr. Posen left the couple alone; Chloe opened the binder and started looking through it.

"Oh, I like this one," Chloe said, pointing at the man's photo. "He has brown hair and dark blue eyes like you. Ooo, and he's a doctor."

Beca looked at the photo and nodded. "I like him, too."

"Okay," Chloe said, continuing to look through the binder. She went back to the first photo they liked and asked, "I like him the best. What do you say? Have we decided on this one?"

"Yeah," Beca said. "I'll press the button to let them know we've made a decision."

Dr. Posen entered the room, and the couple informed Dr. Posen of their selection.

"Okay," Dr. Posen said. "Beca, if you come with me, we can retrieve your eggs. Chloe, you can go back with her if you want."

"I want you with me," Beca said.

"Okay," Chloe said.

~~ 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~~

A few days later, they went back to the clinic, and Beca's fertilized eggs were transferred to Chloe. Once Dr. Posen finished the procedure, she took off her latex gloves and threw them in the trash. She turned to look at Chloe.

"You can take a home pregnancy test in two weeks to see if it took," Dr. Posen said. "If it's positive, take another one. If that one's positive, call and make an appointment with us to do a blood test to confirm you're pregnant."

"Okay," Chloe said.

Beca took Chloe back to their hotel and went back out on her own. She came back with dinner and five pregnancy tests to take home with them.

"I want to make sure we are prepared," Beca said when Chloe saw all the tests.

The next day, Beca and Chloe returned to the North Pole with as much fanfare as if Santa was returning on Christmas Day.

"How did it go," Beca's mother asked as soon as they got out of the sleigh.

"Well, I got Beca's eggs transferred into me," Chloe said. "And we should know in two weeks if it took."

"This is so exciting," Mrs. Claus said, hugging Chloe.

Beca smiled as she joined her mother and Chloe, hugging them both.

The next two weeks seemed to take forever to get here.

"Today's the day," Chloe said and took the pregnancy test into the bathroom with her.

Beca, Mrs. Claus, and Elf Polly paced outside the bathroom door, narrowly avoiding running into each other.

"Beca?" Chloe called from inside the bathroom.

"Yeah, Chlo?" Beca called back through the door.

"I can hear you guys pacing out there," Chloe said. "Go find something to do, and I'll let you know when I'm done."

Beca turned to her mother and Polly, shooing them with her hands. "You heard her, go find something to do."

"I'll make breakfast," Polly said.

"I'll help," Mrs. Claus said.

The two walked away, and Beca put her ear to the bathroom door.

"I meant you, too, Beca," Chloe called out.

"Sorry," Beca said and went to the kitchen to wait with her mother and Polly.

~~ 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~~

"Congratulations," Dr. Posen said. "You are indeed pregnant."

Beca and Chloe squealed and looked at each other.

"This is wonderful news," Beca said, teary-eyed. "When are we due?"

"If my calculations are correct," Dr. Posen said. "You'll be having a Christmas baby."

"Seriously?" Beca asked, wide-eyed.

"Seriously," Dr. Posen said, chuckling.

"Thank you, Dr. Posen," Chloe said. "This will be the most amazing Christmas gift ever."

"You're welcome," Dr. Posen said. "See Stacie before you leave so she can schedule your next appointment. I will want to see you in three months."

"Okay," Chloe said. "Thanks again."

Beca and Chloe made their appointment and went back to their hotel.

"I'm going to call my mom," Beca said.

"Can we just fly back home instead?" Chloe asked. "I want to tell her in person."

"We can do that," Beca said, kissing Chloe. "Why don't you pack while I go check us out."

"Okay," Chloe said.

A short time later, they were in the sleigh and on their way to the North Pole.

~~ 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~~

Three months later, Santa's village was abuzz with excitement as Beca and Chloe prepared for their trip to Barden for Chloe's first checkup since finding out she was pregnant.

"Are you going to find out the sex of the baby?" Mrs. Claus asked as they were getting in the sleigh.

"We were going to talk about it during the flight," Beca said. "I think I want to be surprised and not know until the baby is born."

"I feel the same way," Chloe said, smiling as she kissed Beca's cheek.

"I guess we're going to wait and see," Beca said.

"Good luck, " Mrs. Claus said, stepping back from the sleigh.

"See you in a couple of days," Beca said as they started off.

Later that afternoon, Chloe was lying on the table with Beca holding her hand. Dr. Posen was moving the wand over Chloe's stomach.

"Everything looks good," Dr. Posen said. "Do you want to know the sex?"

"No," Chloe said,

"Yes," Beca said.

They looked at each other.

"I thought you wanted to be surprised," Chloe said.

"I did," Beca said. "But I thought about it on the way here, and I changed my mind. I like the idea of calling him or her by name, so we can stop referring to him or her as it."

Chloe chewed her lip for a moment and then looked at Dr. Posen.

"We'd like to know," Chloe said.

Dr. Posen smiled. "You're having a girl."

"Yes!" Beca cheered.

~~ 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~~

The first thing Beca did once they were back at the North Pole was to tell her mother they were having a girl.

"We're naming her Kristine, with a K," Beca said. "So, she'll be Kris Kringle like dad."

Tears came to Mrs. Claus's eyes. "That's wonderful. He would be so excited to know the Kringle legacy will live on."

Beca was saddened for a moment thinking about her father, but one smile from Chloe brought her back to a euphoric state.

~~ 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~~

Months passed, and all was well with Chloe's pregnancy. It was December 1st, and Santa's workshop went into high gear, getting ready for Christmas.

Two weeks before Christmas, Chloe had another appointment with Dr. Posen for a routine checkup. Beca was too busy to go, so Mrs. Claus and Polly accompanied Chloe.

When they returned, Beca was pleased to learn that everything was going well and that Dr. Posen expected Chloe to deliver on time.

Christmas Eve was here, and Chloe was at the sleigh to see Beca off.

"Don't have Kris until I get back," Beca said, pulling Chloe to her.

"I'll try not to," Chloe said, kissing Beca. "Have a good night! I'll see you in the morning."

"I love you," Beca said, pecking Chloe's lips one last time before getting into the sleigh.

"I love you, too," Chloe said as the reindeer readied themselves.

Beca called out the reindeer names and snapped the reins. Chloe and the elves waved as Beca took off.

Chloe sighed and grabbed her side.

"Chloe, dear, are you alright?" Mrs. Clause asked.

"Um, yeah," Chloe said. "I think I'm in labor."

~~ 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~~

Beca watched as the last batch of gifts magically made their way down the final chimney.

"That's it, guys," Beca called to the reindeer. "Let's go home."

The reindeer glided through the night and were soon landing in Santa's village. Beca looked around to see only a handful of elves to help secure the reindeer and put the sleigh away.

"Where is everyone?" Beca asked one of the elves.

The elf ignored Beca and quickly began unhitching the reindeer. Beca huffed and stomped off to her house.

The elves snickered as she left. "I wish I could see Santa's face when she finds out."

Beca's eyebrows were furrowed when she saw most of the villagers outside her house.

"What's going on?" Beca asked as she made her way through the crowd.

"Get in here, Santa," Beca's mother called from the front door, motioning for her to hurry.

"Did something happen to Chloe?" Beca asked as she hurriedly entered the house.

Just then, Beca heard a baby's cry and her eyes widened as she ran toward the bedroom she shared with Chloe. She burst through the door to see Chloe lying in bed with Kris in her arms.

"Welcome home, mama!" Chloe said.

All Hallows - Overview and Entry Plaza

Map

The brilliance of Disneyland’s then-innovative hub-and-spoke layout does not need to be expounded upon here, except to remark that it constitutes yet another factor contributing to that park’s theme—it marks it as a place of order, forthrightness, and user-friendliness. All Hallows, by contrast, is a place of mystery, unease, and rewards for the bold and curious. Therefore, its layout more resembles an asymmetrical tree or bush, with some of its offerings made plain at the start, but others only revealed once guests have done some exploring along its winding paths. The park consists of an entry plaza and five themed areas, but only three of these areas front directly onto the entry plaza—the other two are accessed from a walkway that heads further into the park. Moreover, the more contemporary and straightforward the theme of a given area, the closer it is to the park's entrance, while the more exotic and fantastic areas are farther away.

Besides contributing to the spooky atmosphere, this layout allows for expansion, since new areas can be “grafted” onto the borders of the park, with the walkways adapted to accommodate them.

Themed Areas

Each of the five themed areas reflects a different ��take” on Halloween. These are:

Trick-or-Treat Village, an area primarily for young children, with age-appropriate rides and activities and friendly costumed characters.

Pumpkin Acres, a rural American town in the harvest season.

Ghoul City, a contemporary urban area replete with monsters from movies, urban legends, and the Halloween motifs of pop culture.

Goblin Woods, an eerie enchanted forest full of threatening beings from folklore and fairy tales.

County Drakul, an Old European village ruled over by vampires and thoroughly haunted besides.

Each area contains multiple attractions in a variety of intensities, as well as options for buying food and souvenirs, all of which are themed to support the illusion of being in a particular sort of place at Halloween. Because of the consistent focus on Halloween, there are two types of features that recur throughout the park.

First, in accordance with a venerable Halloween tradition, each area except Trick-or-Treat Village includes a maze as part of its attractions. These are of course not true mazes, with branching paths and the possibility of getting lost, but for practical reasons are more akin to classical labyrinths, with a single winding path and surprises around every corner.

Second, each area contains a costume shop specializing in costumes that evoke the themes of the area—although for practical and liability-related reasons, guests are not allowed to wear costumes inside the park. Costumes (and other large souvenirs) may be left at the point of purchase and picked up later, to avoid the need to carry around bulky packages.

Characters

Oddly enough for such a prominent holiday, Halloween doesn't have a folkloric mascot. Several pop-cultural characters have become associated with it over the years, and some are even in the public domain (e.g. Count Dracula), but there is no universally acknowledged equivalent to Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or Uncle Sam.

Therefore, All Hallows boasts its own unique characters, framed as the residents of the themed areas. Some are established and consistent, part of the “lore” of their respective areas (and will be described in broad strokes in the individual posts for said areas), but employees working public-facing positions are also encouraged to devise and develop their own characters in accordance with provided guidelines, and to perform them accordingly. A store clerk might have a side hustle as a monster hunter, a janitor might be a zombie who just kept on doing her job even after she died, and the person serving you applesauce just possibly grew the apples themself with the aid of witchcraft.

Entry Plaza

Upon entering All Hallows, guests find themselves in a broad space offering room to spread out, slow down, perhaps peruse the map, and decide what to do first. It resembles a town square or shopping plaza, with a central parklike area of trees and flower beds divided by brick paths, building fronts around the edges, and a few strategically placed statues and fountains. The theming is fairly generic, even cheesy—the trees are artificial and have leering faces underneath their year-round fall foliage, the flowers are marigolds, purple petunias, and others chosen for autumnal hues, and the building fronts are designed to look off-kilter, with mostly monochrome paint jobs accented with trim in orange, purple, and lurid green. The statues, examined closely, prove to have subtle monster features, and the fountains boast bizarre gargoyles, and did that one just move?

A music loop consisting of upbeat songs about Halloween itself, alternating with slower-paced spooky instrumentals, plays continuously from the area speakers. First on the playlist is “All Hallows” by The Aviators, the “officially unofficial” anthem of the theme park by the same name:

Interspersed between the building fronts are the paths leading to the five themed areas. Three of them, the entrances to Trick-or-Treat Village (a), Pumpkin Acres (b), and Ghoul City (d), are full-fledged gateways with signage and set dressing indicating their destinations, while the fourth (c) is the head of a walkway leading further into the park.

Starting at dusk, the plaza is illuminated with orange and purple string lights in the trees and along the building eaves. The tree faces and fountains glow with spooky colors, and fog machines periodically release mist into the space.

Shops

Grave Goods: A home décor and party supply store featuring everything you need to host the perfect Halloween shindig, or just kit your home out for the season in style.

In Memento: The general souvenir store, with All Hallows branded tee-shirts, mugs, toys, and other standard items.

Suit Yourself: This can be considered the “main” costume shop of the park, a big one offering costumes reflecting all the themes, as well as other concepts that don't fit neatly in any one of them. A great place to visit as the last stop of the day if you've been getting ideas throughout your visit but haven't pulled the trigger on any of them yet.

Food and Snacks

There are no full-scale restaurants in the entry plaza, but there are mobile ODV carts selling snacks, bottled drinks, and hot beverages—nothing too elaborate or highly themed, but frosted cookies in Halloween shapes, popcorn balls, pumpkin spice lattes, and hot apple cider are available.
