HAPPY BELATED JAE’S HOLIDAY GIFTS ROUNDUP !!

@efflorcscences @hvpotheses @nightfallens @kaloxia @ncxicus @foryourdiary @svrtorial @quietepics @swanstains ;*

There’s no good reason to give this a whole post beside how cute I thought the graphic was lol but anyway the real point is that Jae is so serious about gifts. He loves having the holidays as an excuse he can’t be stopped.

GINNY — requested: n/a — It’s been a long time since Jae stopped asking Ginny what she wants; her answers always suck. This year, he stole her airpods and wrapped them in a giant box, then restocked her snack stash with all her favorites when she wasn’t looking.

JAN: — requested: a Dior jacket he likes — By far one of the most straightforward answers, but it did take a lot of Dealing With Jan first before he could actually focus. It was easy enough to acquire, but a single jacket seemed so lonely without other pieces to go with it, so Jae made Jan pick out a matching outfit.

CYNTHIA: — requested: “ the ugliest thing you can find ” — There is some truly heinous Moschino out there he could have gotten her, but even Jae won’t allow another burger skirt to walk around. He compromised by getting this 2018 Stella McCartney and he’s insisting she wear it out. He tossed in a YSL Libre because it can’t all be bad.

NARUMI: — requested: flowers — Never much of a flowers guy since there’s a few he’s allergic to, Jae tried to keep it classic. He ordered a giant, colorful bouquet, only sneezed once, and went searching for the prettiest crystal vase he could find. Then he ordered some Belgian chocolate for the giggles, and to round things out.

MINJEONG: — requested: a set of rings she’s been eyeing — So Minjeong did also jokingly imply she’d ask for a car instead if she could only drive and Jae wanted to give her shit for it but he was like so real it’s not in our culture to drive (🌈 not sk) but anyway. He did get her those rings, but he also got her a personal driver.

ARIEL: — requested: sent a list of colors, textures, flavors etc. she likes — Jae knows very little about Hanukkah, but he was very ready to assemble eight gifts. Doled out in singularly wrapped gifts for each day, the first three (shoes, blouse, pants) made a full matching outfit, while the next two (dress, jewelry) could be paired with the shoes to make another. The next day held some Baccarat Rouge 540, the day after that a spa pass. The last day, in an effort to stay festive, finally, he gave her a handful of chocolate coins, for gelt.

NATE: — requested: sent a gdoc link of spam instead of answering — Nate is impossible to shop for, so it was easier to just tease him instead. So Jae got him some shoe inserts to help with his height problem, and dinner for two at his favorite restaurant, just so Nate doesn’t try to kill him in his sleep.

GIGI: — requested: a birkin — Truly an angel on earth, she didn’t give him any trouble answering and was clear about exactly what she wanted. Jae has some kind of complex where he can’t just hand over a single gift, though, so he filled her bag with little treats before he was finally ready to give it to her.

KLAUS: — requested: n/a — Like Ginny, they were barely consulted for their gift. Jae didn’t even bother wrapping his up, he just left a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling wine & a year-long pass to a luxury bathhouse

40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.

what if you were my idol turned best friend who everyone in the league knew i was completely gone for. and what if i drafted you first on the team i was captaining for the all star game after begging the captains going before me not to pick you. and what if absolutely nobody was surprised. what if the emcee and tate mcrae already knew who i Wanted Before Going To Bed last night and i was so crazypossessive even sports writers knew i’d pulverise anyone who took you from me. and what if i told reporters after that this was my longtime dream come true. and what if you said all you wanted to do now was to make your captain happy, and told the boys that you Listen to your captain. and what if… after all that... you put my hoodie on and did a live interview in front of god and gary bettman.
