Come on... You’re Angry Because Valerie Didn’t End Up With Danny, Right?
I find it hard to believe that so many people in the Danny Phantom have so much hatred over one character Sam Manson. And yet all that praise goes to Valerie Grey and how much more cooler she is than Sam. I’m embarrassed that people who are fans of Sam are apologists of said character. Instead of having an opinion or a backbone a lot of people agree to avoid a heated argument or fight. It’s Baloney!! I clearly didn’t like Valerie Grey’s character all that much and still don’t to this very day. Probably that’s because I found the character very distasteful. Not only was the character’s uncontrollable anger and hypocrisy unpleasing but I found her pushy attitude problem and high opinions of herself very dissatisfying. A lot of Valerie fans come forth and spill their hatred and angry into posts, art, and writing. What a complete waste of talent that you’re so angry that your “ship” didn’t sail off into a happily ever after. 
Being a veteran of the show when it first came out, I was a wallflower and stayed out of all the posts and fights of One True Pairings and what is canon and what is fanon.
Here are my 5 top reasons why Danny and Valerie wouldn’t have a Happy Ever. Why I personally strongly dislike Valerie. And Finally why I think she’s the worse character to grace cartoon history.
1. Valerie’s ANGER
The girl cannot let a grudge go. This girl was crazy filled with red rage. Anger and hurt clouded her judgment maybe rightfully so, but to have it carry out over a couple years on something as soooo petty as losing your high school status and a nice home and her dad’s cushy job. It’s just plain stupid. No one she knew died. Her family wasn’t homeless. It was all a matter of her pride and ego being wounded. Again when Danny had her identity revealed to her dad, it was a pride and ego thing. In the words of Elsa from Frozen “Let It Go”. (If Danny and Valerie ever did for any bizarre reason got together they’d fall part from the lies and distrust they have in one another. Valerie wouldn’t be able to let it go. Why? Again because she can’t let go of grudges and being angry.)
2. Egocentric
Valerie thinks very highly of herself. She states in D-Stabilized that she’s a better ghost hunter than the Fenton’s. And yet we see throughout the three seasons, the Fenton’s remarkable technological advances and are pioneering the field of ghost study and ghost hunting. We see Maddie Fenton and Jack Fenton kick some ghost butt in their defining episodes such as “Maternal Insticts” and “Million Dollar Ghost” respectively. Definitely not some crackpot scientists studying ghosts. We also see in “Shades of Gray” Valerie calls Danny and his friends losers after approaching her when she supposedly loses it all she has and wants to help her in her time of need. And later on in “Reign Storm” after “Life Lessons” and Danny and her have a better understanding of one another she still a complete dickhead to Danny’s friends. “What’s there problem?” she asks Danny in the hallway with Tucker and Sam. The problem was you girl. You were a complete and total jackass of a person and you’re blaming Sam and Tucker are the ones with issues with you? It maybe a stretch but whose to say, but off screen Valerie was just as bad if not worse as the A-Listers being a bully and being NASTY to Danny and his friends? That’s all suppose to be cleared and done with because Danny and Valerie are somewhat better acquaintances now? And no apologies? Nuh Uh! Forget that Nastiness! 
3. Her Weird Dislike for Sam
I don’t understand this one? Is she jealous that Danny and Sam have a special bond? Is she jealous that she knows that secretly Danny likes her but is too worried or embarrassed to act on it? I find it humorous that everyone talks a big game and puts Sam down and saying she doesn’t have character development. But in Flirting With Disaster Sam demonstrated far more maturity in her pinky than Valerie did in the entire show. Sam put her differences aside and her distrust with Valerie so that both VALERIE and DANNY could happily date. I CAN NOT say Valerie Gray would do this. I couldn’t. Because we know Valerie only really cares about herself. Which brings me to my fourth point...
4. Giving Up On Love
She gave up being with Danny to hunt down his alter ego Danny Phantom. Why? Because her revenge was more important than to give up ghost hunting and be with Danny. And to all the naysayers but she said, “she WAS going to give up her ghost hunting”. BUT SHE DIDN’T. Saying and doing are TWO completely different things. Like for instance with our government right now they say their going to change the age limit from 18 to 21 to purchase a gun. But this week we saw that our government has failed to do so. They said they were, but they didn’t. Just like Valerie said she was going to give up ghost hunting to be with Danny she did not. She wasn’t doing any good to protect Danny from herself or the ghosts, because Danny never needed it. Valerie doesn’t know that, but Danny and the audience does. Which makes the whole “I love you but I hate you,but I love you” triade thing so dumb. So so sooo dumb. It makes it really BORING! The Hate you/ I Love you thing has been so over done and beaten to death. 
5. Her Fans
I don’t have to go too deep into this one. Take a look it’s all over any artistic platform an artist or writer posts stories about Danny Phantom. Abuse writing material and art. Good examples are drawing Danny and Valerie together and making Sam cry about it or get jealous. It’s so tacky. I think they purposely do it to piss people off too. Look up Danny and Sam art and you’ll find DxV in it. Look up DxV art and you won’t find any DxS art? I find it all just trashy and NASTY! Just when I think a Valerie Fan or a Danny and Valerie couple fan couldn’t top off their hatred and stupidity, I am proven wrong. It’s okay to like Valerie or “DxV”. No one’s stopping you or silencing you on it. But I do find it hypocritical just like the character herself to flame and bash and ridicule people who happen to like Danny and/or Sam. It’s silly. You don’t see the crazy things like this from Sam fans. Well, at least not anymore. And I blame that on younger people back in the hay day. But what makes it terribly sad is that these fans are grown women belittling and patronizing other fans on their opinions and different opinions. O

Valerie Really Bothers Me
Well just like the title expresses I didn’t really like Valerie all too much. I never had a problem with disliking characters before. I never was one that put too much effort into it before. And I never really cared who ended up with who. If the couple look cute together I’d smile and go along with it. But I can’t in good conscience and to my mental well-being get over the fact that I really disliked Valerie. 
In Shades of Gray we see Valerie use Tucker to gain some inside knowledge about the Fenton’s research on the supernatural. Not only that but we see how much disdain she has for Danny and his friends. Cool she’s unfriendly and hostile very great character traits. So not!
Then in Life Lessons she has her biggest hypocritical moment which I find to be distasteful is that she tells Danny at the end that he didn’t really know her all that well and something along the lines he judged her unfairly. I’ll get back into that in a moment.
Next comes Reign Storm and now back to that moment I told you to wait for, she gets (annoyed, surprised, sassy,) defensive about why Tucker and Sam aren’t as welcoming as Danny is in the hallway. Well Duh! Valerie used Tucker, and treats him and Sam like a HUGE jerk. So, of course they’re gonna be trustful of her & the fact she hunts their best friend to boot. Valerie she judges exactly how she told Danny about how he treated her. Where did that little bit of character development go for Valerie? I found it extremely childish to turn Danny’s attention, love, or romantic feelings into a competition with Sam. Sounds like someone immature and doesn’t understand too much about love.
Ah, Flirting With Disaster the biggest episode that Danny and Valerie fans love shoving down anyone’s throats it’s almost like your shoving my face and shit with a smirk. It’s kind of how I felt about the whole episode. The whole episode had it’s moments, but DxV people like to ignore that even though it was about Danny and Valerie’s potential relationship and feelings, there were minor Danny and Sam moments. Which brings me to the case out of Danny’s group, Sam, Valerie has always been hostile towards. And for someone reason the show never addresses that point from Valerie? Why is she a jerk to Sam? We DO know why on Sam’s part. She’s jealous. Then there’s the fact Valerie hunts down her friend & is very plausible that she treated Sam like crap when she was popular and Sam doesn’t see much personality change. So it makes sense to me why Sam would be distrustful with Valerie. Does Valerie ever wear her big girl panties and put her pride away to be friends with her possible (almost) boyfriend’s friends? Nope. She blames theme for some dumb petty reason, which we never figure out why. So Sam puts on her big girl panties and accepts her & the relationship to Danny. Not happy about it, but she does do it. I found Valerie to be really immature about that. If you like someone try to impress or make a good impression on the people they care about or love. Don’t be that bitch or dick that expects it to be the other way around. 
And saved the best for last, D-Stabilized. I’ve seen fans say this was the best character arc moment for Valerie or any character in the entire show. I am if not the only one of those fans that don’t think this way. What character development are you talking about? Valerie helping Danny Phantom save Dani Phantom and then not taking him as a prisoner after Danny kept is word isn’t that big a deal. The only reason she didn’t do something stupid because Valerie had a conscience to not kill a human being. This never stops Valerie from hunting down ghosts or Danny. And can we get this straight, the only ghost that we see in the show that she actually hunted with intent to protect Amity Park was Danny Phantom for a STUPID PETTY INCONVENIENT vengeance because she lost her popularity and a stable income to live comfortably. Did we ever see Valerie become more compassionate towards other like herself? Did she end up not being a snooty bitch? Nope and nope. You know whose a better character that Valerie was very similar was? Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender. At least we saw Zuko redeem himself, Valerie never does this. I shake my head in shame. 
You know what would’ve made Valerie a better character? A character that realizes her damn mistakes owned up to all their crazy shit and apologize to everyone she hurt. Now that’s a character I can get behind and root for. But Valerie has her head so far up her ass and so self-centered. 
And no the fans that hate Sam only because it got in the way of the potential Danny and Valerie is really stupid. Sam never got in the way of the chance of Danny and Valerie dating. And I’ll repeat it again because most fans in this phandom are really slow. Sam never got in the way of the chance of Danny and Valerie dating. She wasn’t happy that Danny was interested in Valerie and she voiced those concerns passive aggressively. But still did she get in the way of Danny and Valerie? No. No she did not. So the dick-wads that are pissed that Valerie didn’t end up with Danny, it didn’t workout with them. And the “well it could’ve or what ifs,” there nothing more than speculations or stuck about thinking about the past. You’re wasting time on something that was doomed from the beginning. The only reason why people love it so much because of the angst and drama of it all. Everyone experiences it. It’s a fact of life. And that exactly what DxV was, ONLY Angst & Drama. Those two genres are the most abused in the fanfiction writings. You know what would be impressive and REFRESHING? How about not bashing a character (Sam), and have them actually be in character. Astonishing! Or maybe chose a genre you suck at and try it, maybe like a comedy or romance? And trust me these other two are abused just as much, but at least when a writer pulls it off it’s better than the former. And that’s where terrible fan-fiction gets created from way over abused genres about Valerie’s twooo feelings. If it wasn’t the ghost/hunting thing, then it was their personalities didn’t match up, their families, and friends weren’t compatible. And the biggest one of all they didn’t trust the each other for sharing their wholesome selves to one another. I mean people come on!! During the duration of the episode Technus was playing with the two kids emotions from the start.The insta-messaging, Technus set that up for them! The two kids end up with feelings for another, yes. But to say it was naturally building up to it? There’s no evidence of that besides friendship or flirting.
I’ve seen Danny and Valerie fans blame Nickelodeon or Butch Hartman and his staff for not making DxV a possibility. That they’re racist because they didn’t incorporate a bi-racial looking couple? You’re pulling at straws people and really weak arguments for the sake of arguing. And to personally attack the creator who brought you such characters for your entertainment. You’re a LOUSY fan throwing a temper tantrum because you didn’t get your way. Waahh! Boo hoo for you! GET OVER IT. Find something else to do with your time and stop wasting it complaining at something the creator never really intended in the first place. 
A perfect example of people being delusional was the whole zuko x Katara pairing. There was no evidence or facts that the two were even remotely attracted to one another. And yet when the show ended, fans threw the biggest fit and began complaining about how the creators cheated them out of a steamy chemistry. Fans speculated and showed weak evidence from the show that the were meant to be. It’s exactly the same damn thing about Danny X Valerie. The only difference is, in DP there was a 1-2 episode arc, 3 if you squint hard enough about DxV romance. But after that there really isn’t any evidence that the two would ever workout or ever get back together again. I think Taylor Swift made a song about that... “We are never ever ever getting back together”.
My biggest argument is. Read the damn title of the show. It’s called Danny Phantom. Not Danny Phantom and Valerie Gray. Valerie was a minor character! There are story arcs about her character, yes, but she wasn’t the main arc or main character. So getting angry and lashing out that it’s not fair well it’s not your show and you don’t get the final say. You’re pissed? Well congratulations because no one making you miserable but yourself. If you wanted to enjoy the show you’d take as it is and leave it so. But you can’t make it that simple can you? So I’ll say this... TAKE YOUR OWN DAMN ADVICE and if you don’t like the show, Season 3, or the Danny and Sam romance, DON’T WATCH THE SHOW. No one’s putting a gun to your head to watch the show or to like the canon of the show. And whining about it and getting angry about it just makes you look like a two year old that doesn’t get their way.
I’m really tired of DxV fans talking shit, that’s all that ever comes out of your mouths especially the ones that are hardcore. And you know what I don’t mind calling you out on your bullshit saying you like all pairings but really that means you don’t like DxS. 
And to anyone else that feels the same way or just tired of the abuse any rabid DxV fan does making fan work, just know that Danny and Sam are canon and Danny and Valerie are not.

Danny Phantom- Too much hate for Sam!
I’m tiring of seeing Sam being so missed treated in the phandom. I’m tired of seeing Valerie being on a pedestal as being the best character next to Danny, literally and figuratively. I’m tired of seeing and reading that Sam needs to change? I’m tired of Sam getting bullied that if she were a real human, she’d be dead. And it’s sad because this sickening gross “phandom” would lead her to commit suicide, no matter how strong willed Sam is. 
I personally don’t think Valerie was really that great of a character. She had way more flaws than Sam did. And yet people embrace her for it. I didn’t like how hypocritical she was.How mean she was. How not humble she was. How angry she was. How suddenly she liked danny all of a sudden. How she USED Tucker for ghost information. How whiny she was. How materialistic she was and still is. How she blamed everyone but not herself. How she thought she was better than everyone else. How she hated Sam for no reason other than Sam not liking her for hurting Danny and using people. How she used to be an A-Lister with Star and Paulina and probably most likely treated Sam like crap, like Dash and his goons do to Danny and Tuck. How blind she was to being used and tricked to do things by Vlad.Valerie was a horrible character! HORRIBLE character! And yet people love her. Unbelievable. 
If people want a good character with darker skin tones, I’d happily introduce you to AHS: Coven. That had good characters very much like Valerie, but OH GOSH! They actually had a point that made sense for all their anger! RACISM. CLASSISM. DEATH OF LOVE ONES. WEALTH. LINEAGE. POWER. The list goes on and on. Marie Laveau and Queenie. Now there’s girls much like Valerie, but I can get behind and support because they had VALID reasons for being mean-spirited, sassy, and doing what they did. We were able to sympathize with them. Understand why and how. With Valerie you don’t get that... And that’s why she’s a horrible character. She never redeems herself or restores her honor. She’s weak-will and plans on hunting a ghost who didn’t even really mess up her life on purpose. So if she kills him then what? She still be miserable. I don’t know... Gah!
I’ve lost faith in this damn fandom. I really did. Personally I think everyone hates Sam because Danny didn’t end up with Valerie. Or Phantom Planet. Or season three. That’s how I see it. And the crazy-loud-mouth of Donald Trumps of Danny Phantom fans infected this fandom of hating Sam. I personally blame the group that tried bringing popularity to the fandom after it been off the air for several years. I also blame the people who use to draw fan art of killing Sam. Oh it gets better, or the fans that like drawing or writing stories that Danny ends up with any other female besides Sam and Danny personally hurting her on purpose. I personally hate the stories were the story is written mainly to make Sam cry. And Valerie the romantic winner. (BULLYING!)
There’s no denying truth that a lot of the phandom is made up of women. And that a lot of you are special little snowflakes that don’t like your opinions and views to be stepped on. And yet you can stand tall and justify your means when you trample on opposing ideas and thoughts. Uh, how funny? You don’t like to be treated like crap, but it’s okay if you do it because of a, b, c, reasons. 
I’m angry at how this phandom turned out. How easily fickle people could be and let their opinions become those of people who have really ugly personalities. You got to have an ugly personality when you’re picking on a fictional fourteen year old girl to make your self-esteem and ego have a pick-me-up.
I needed to vent soooooo bad! I don’t have a single person I can vent about this show to. It sucks. I think I’m the only person who loved Sam the way she was, warts and all. Yes, that means season three. And season three rocked! I got to see a cute couple become a couple.
Am I unstable? Yeah, all signs point to yes, when I wrote this vent out. I take great comfort, peace and tranquility that Butch Hartman made Danny and Sam canon. And no matter how loud the voices get that they hate all of it, the couple, Sam, and the third season. I’ll smile, because you’re not the creator of Danny Phantom and I’m glad it ended the way it did. And not done by some artistic brat thinking they can do better than the man who created the show.
Please re-frame to tell me if I don’t like the fandom then don’t look at it. You can easily take the same dumb phrase and not read my vent, or watch or continue to create things for Danny Phantom. 
Again please re-frame to tell me to chill out. That it’s “just a show” because it stopped being a show when you wrote that story, or created a piece of art for the show. You are just as invested in the characters and show as I am. Maybe less, maybe more. But for you to condescendingly tell me that I’m nuts and my opinion is dumb. Well, I’ll kindly to tell you to fuck off. I’m on MY blog, venting my hurt and angry feelings and not blasting it onto someone else’s blog or whatever social media outlet. And I’m uncomfortable with it all.
Ha! I’d like to see how many likes this would get. 
And if you’re tired of seeing it all too. Then Re-Post it. Re-blog it! Share it! I want those witty loud mouths to see that not everyone is going to agree and appease them because they’re afraid it’s confrontational of not agreeing to their opinions. 
Thanks! 
I let my emotions get the best of me with this hateful rant. But the hate on Sam is ridiculous! And that doesn’t excuse this post.

Cliques in the Danny Phandom? No Waaay!
I’ve been a fan of Danny Phantom since I was fourteen years old. Ironically, I started watching when Danny was in the same grade and age as me at the time. So, I liked that I could connect with the show & main character. Although I still can connect with the show, it makes me feel… not happy per say, but giddy. It is probably the best word choice that I can still have a show make me feel so strongly about it’s characters.
Anyway, growing up with this show, I was able to connect with many of the characters. I could connect with Danny about feeling like an outsider at his school. Then there’s Sam where she’s angry at how unfair things can be. Tucker making jokes and not having your friends laugh at said jokes. And even Jack Fenton, where everyone thinks your an incompetent idiot.
So to find out my junior year that there was a thing called fanfiction where people posted stuff about their favorite TV shows and movies, I thought it was awesome! Granted, I found fanfiction through an old television show on Nickelodeon called Hey Arnold! It eventually lead me to Danny Phantom. I read a lot of stories on fanfiction. Some bad and some far worse than you can imagine. It took me a long time to gather up courage to write reviews to authors I liked. It took way longer for me more to actually post my writing on a site where everyone could review or not review it.
I don’t know why it took me so long to understand it, but people who reviewed other people’s stories, artwork on deviantart, and now tumblr they’re all friends. They’ve been friends for quite a while. People who email, call each other (probably texting too), iChat, and skype. I’m not saying that implies for everyone, but for most of them it most likely does. I also think it’s cool people are able to make good friends because of sharing the same love of interests in television shows and characters or both. But I think it’s really neat that Danny Phantom could bring people together.
The downside to it all I think is that people who have made a lot of friends on these sites tend to have certain clique aspects. And if you don’t fit in with that group they can become quite unpleasant and frankly extremely RUDE. Which I don’t understand because aren’t these the same people who probably get picked on at school or in society? (If I’m generalizing or making assumptions, I didn’t mean to offend.)
So if you understand how it feels to be ostracized and be treated unfairly? Why continue the vicious cycle? Why be rude on the forums, public chats or tumblr? What satisfaction do you get for being mean? And it’s not funny mean, it’s just mean.
After writing all this and re-reading it sounds like a whoa is me kind of post. But I hope it doesn’t come off as like that. I’m just tired of a bunch of people from the “phandom” being assholes because they feel like it or because their annoyed of the other fans. I feel ten times better now for writing this and getting it off my chest. Yay! me.
And before anyone (who) writes back with ill intentions, I didn’t come seek you out and rant about it on your page. I didn’t even name names. I wrote it in the safety of my own blog to express how misplaced the phandom is and how frustrating it is to me.
This post is old. I don’t blame others or the cliques on the Danny Phantom Fandom. You do your own thing and I’ll do mine.

A Fenton Christmas
A Fenton Christmas
By: thestraydwanderer
“Wake up! Wake up, big brother! I said wake up,” a groan was heard under the dark comforter.
It was Lilia, his younger-chirper-sister. Oh joy. She was on his bed poking at him with one hand. Jason tried to pull his comforter over his head as if it could block his sister’s touch, but instead two strong little hands ripped it off.
It was early morning; it had to be, considering how cold it was in his room. Lilia probably had gotten up the rest of his family to go downstairs and open presents. And decided to save him for last.
“Santa came last night! Don’t you want to see the presents underneath the Christmas tree?!” Lilia exclaimed happily.
The teenager got up and looked his younger sister straight in the eye.
“No.”
Then Jason picked up his pillow and buried it over his head.  
‘What the-’ and just like that his soft crème-colored pillow was lifted from his head in a flash.
Jason shot up like lightning once again and mustered up his scary-scowl that would’ve work in school to have his teachers and peers stay clear of him and directed it at Lilia. But it had no effect on his annoying little sister. She just kept on smiling.
  Lilia was in her powdered-blue nightgown, which was long enough to cover the lower bits of her legs, but short enough for her bare feet to poke out of. She was grinning and too excited to open up presents with her big brother, her parents and now with her grandparents too.
  Jason was all out of options at the moment. His lips started to tremble he needed help immediately.
  “Moom!” Jason yelled. “Mom!”
  “She’s downsta—“
  There was an echo wafting up the stairs of the old brick house,
  “Jason, stop yelling it’s too early in the morning and Lilia stop pestering your brother.”
  It was his mom, coming to his rescue to get rid of his bratty sister away from him and his room. She walked into the entrance and lightly tapped her fist on her son’s door.
  “Can I come in?” Violet eyes that mirrored her own continued to stare at her, but the eyes on the head of the teenager nodded his head.
  Sam Fenton continued to walk in and headed towards the bed to sit. She was wearing a nightgown similar to her daughter’s but instead it was black with even darker trimmings around the hems. And instead of bare feet she had on black slippers that matched the nightgown. 
  “Lilia, what did I say about waking your brother early in the morning, last night?”
  “But…but, Santa came last night with presents.”
  “And those presents will still be there after we all have breakfast. Grandma and Grandpa Fenton made it especially for all us.” His mom patted his sister towards the doorway.
  “Is Daddy downstairs already?”
  “Lilia! I said downstairs now, I’ll be there in a minute.”
  Lilia gasped, “okay mommy,” and quickly ran out of her brother’s bedroom and down the stairs towards the kitchen.
  Jason let out a sigh he didn’t know he was holding in. “Thanks mom, I didn’t think she’d ever leave me alone.”
  But then the hard stare that was directed at his sister moments ago was now directed at him. “Don’t thank me just yet. I told you from last night to go to bed early.”
  “I wasn’t sleepy last night, mom. So, instead, I decided to stay up and read my comics until I felt sleepy.”
  Sam sighed. “It doesn’t matter kiddo, I asked you to go to bed so we wouldn’t have a problem in the morning, like… right now.”
  Jason groaned in response.
  “I asked last night because I didn’t want you to wake up with an attitude. I know how grumpy you get when you don’t get enough sleep mister!”
  “Mo-om!” Jason groaned again.
  “Don’t “mom” me. Besides we both knew this morning your sister would wake up early to open presents on Christmas.”
  Jason made a deep scoffing noise in the back, “I can’t believe she thinks “Santa Clause” brought the presents.”
  “Don’t tease your sister. Besides you know it’s hard for me to wake up early to right?”
  Jason nodded.
  A loud manly voice carried from downstairs, “Honey? You get Jay to wake up yet? Your daughter is restless about the presents and the food is getting cold!”
  “We’ll be down in a minute,” Sam yelled at her husband.
  “Come on, Jay Jay, let’s grab a bite and open up some Christmas presents, okay?”
  “Yeah, alright,” Jason said.
  Sam pressed a kiss to her son’s head and got up and started walking down the stairs. “Oh, and one last thing don’t forget some pajama bottoms, it’s freezing in the living room. You know you’re grandpa Jack doesn’t like turning on the heater.”
  “Okay.”
  When the young teenager quickly threw on some worn out black sweats and a fresh pair of white socks he noticed something on the floor mixed with his comforter.
  “What’s this?” Jason asked.
  Lying with his comforter was a small wrapped shiny red Christmas present. It had a shiny green bow tied around it and placed perfectly on top of the gift. The gift wasn’t all too big; it looked like it was a little larger than the size of his hand. He looked around his room and then at the present, Jason scratched his head. ‘How the heck did such a colorful present go unnoticed in his room?’
  Jason always being the curious decided to open it. He torn the Christmas wrappings like a man-eater-shark does its prey. What was left was a small rectangular white box. To anyone it would’ve been hard to tell what gift it was, but Jason knew by the color of the box what the present meant.
  The present in his hand was none other than some artistic pencils that he wanted ever since Lilia accidently broke them when she was drawing with when they moved to Amity Park.
  The first time in a long time, Jason smiled ruefully. He couldn’t believe he got such expensive pencils, to even think he got the ones he used to own too. He couldn’t hold his excitement when he open and dumped out his new pencils on his desk.
  It’s then that he saw a small note flutter from the box onto his desk. It was small and colorful but he knew that writing on it instantly. It was from Lilia. The note read:
  Big Brother,
  I hope you like the art pencils. I’m super sorry for breaking them before. Merry Christmas!
  Love,
  Lilia
  And too think that Jason had been mean to her less than half an hour ago. And then he heard his little sister calling from downstairs, “big brother, are you coming downstairs or not?”
  He could he his dad laughing, “You better hurry son, or I’ll eat your portions too!”
  “Hurry up, big brother!” Lilia yelled.
Although he was feeling a little bit guilty and also annoyed he couldn’t help but be happy that he got an awesome gift from Lilia, of all people to get an expensive present from. He quickly got out of his room and headed down the stairs to where his family was waiting for him for breakfast and Christmas presents.
  “Coming, Lilia!” 
--
Spectralninja, I'm sooo sorry you had to wait for you're gift. I've been having a family member whose been really sick and been taking care of them and taking them to doctor's appointments, so that left me with no time to write. And I feel really guilty for posting on the last day. :( Anyway, I hope you enjoy your gift. I was your secret santa or whatever. Hope you like it, if my writing sucks I'll try to fix it or write something else that'll make your Christmas gift better. Happy New Year? Yeah, Happy New Year!

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
I don't know... I guess going to a pizza and salad bar called Alfy's with my folks. And while my parents ate their Hawaiian pizza, I'd go to the salad bar and steal the bread sticks and eat them. Man I miss that place and their bread sticks. :(

I am the anonymous that asked Rebecca to post more Momma Sam. :)
Hi Becca! I've been looking at your art and it's superb. Your blog is really neat too. I found pictures I didn't think I'd find again, so thank you! I see you like Bara Danny Phantom and his fictional babies. But can you draw a few pictures of Mama Sam and her babies please? Pretty please with those dark licorice sprinkles, and the black frosting, with those gummy bats on top? :)
HELL YEAH I’ll add that onto the drawing list!!  I do draw far too little Sam and it’s a shame because I love her so much aaaa
