Back in your cozy apartment after a magical evening at the Christmas market, you glance over at Arthur as he settles into the warmth of the room, a shy but relaxed smile softening his features. The evening has been a dream, filled with laughter and closeness, and you want to end it on the perfect note.

You head over to your old record player, selecting a lively classic that fills the room with unmistakable holiday cheer—Merry Christmas Everyone. The familiar beat and upbeat tune make you grin, and you glance back at Arthur with a mischievous sparkle in your eyes.

“Care to dance?” you ask, offering your hand.

Arthur’s eyes widen just a bit, but he doesn’t hesitate for long. He chuckles, taking your hand with a slight shake of his head. “I’ll try to keep up,” he says with a modest grin, but there’s a spark of confidence in his voice.

As the beat picks up, he moves with surprising ease, his steps smooth and effortlessly in rhythm with the music. You watch, delighted, as he twirls you out and pulls you back in, his movements graceful and natural.

"Snow is falling, all around me, children playing, having fun…” you both sing in unison, your voices filling the room. Arthur grins, swaying to the rhythm as his voice, soft but steady, blends with yours.

“You’re a good dancer, Arthur!” you exclaim, laughing as he dips you playfully, keeping time with the beat.

He laughs, his cheeks a bit pink but his eyes bright. “I, uh… I might have picked up a thing or two,” he says, his voice laced with humor. For a moment, he forgets all his usual hesitation and simply lets himself enjoy the moment.

"Time for parties and celebrations, people dancing all night long…” Arthur twirls you again, singing the line with surprising ease, his voice growing a little stronger with each note. You beam up at him, amazed at how relaxed he seems, completely in the moment.

As you both sway and spin around the room, Arthur surprises you again, keeping perfect time to the song’s beat and even adding in a few moves that make you giggle. When the chorus hits—“Merry Christmas, everyone!”—you both sing it loud and joyfully, laughter spilling from your lips as Arthur holds you close.

When the song ends, you’re out of breath, cheeks flushed as you look up at him with admiration. Arthur, too, is glowing, his smile unguarded and filled with a joy that feels almost childlike.

“You know,” you say softly, reaching up to brush a lock of hair from his forehead, “I love this side of you.”

His expression shifts, a hint of his usual shyness returning as he chuckles, trying to regain his cool demeanor. “Oh, really?” he says, though he can’t quite keep the soft smile from his face.

You nod, leaning closer. “Really. There’s so much to love about you, Arthur. And tonight… tonight is just the beginning.”

Arthur’s eyes shine with a deep, quiet happiness as he holds you close, and for a moment, the world outside fades away, leaving just the two of you together in this perfect, unforgettable moment.

Arthur’s smile softens, and as he holds you close, you feel a quiet warmth settling between you, a perfect stillness that seems to fill the room. His gaze meets yours, and for a moment, neither of you speaks, lost in the unspoken connection that lingers in the air.

Slowly, he reaches up, his hand brushing against your cheek, his touch gentle and hesitant, as if he’s still surprised that this is real. You close your eyes, leaning into his touch, and before you know it, he leans forward, his lips meeting yours in a soft, tender kiss.

It’s gentle and unhurried, filled with all the words he can’t say, and you respond with a quiet warmth, your hand resting on his shoulder, pulling him closer. Time seems to stop as you lose yourself in the softness of the moment, each of you breathing in the presence of the other.

When you finally part, he looks at you with a mixture of awe and happiness, a quiet joy that shines through his usual shyness. He smiles, his voice just above a whisper. “Thank you… for tonight.”

You smile back, your hand still resting on his, fingers intertwined. “There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”

And in that moment, as you stand together, the gentle warmth of your first kiss lingering between you, you know that this is only the beginning of something truly beautiful.

We’re ambushing her as soon as she thaws out.

At the very least, we can hold her back for another year…

Alvin and the Chipmunks redesigns! I wanted to adapt their designs loosely from the original puppets, and also incoorporate the live action movies’ two toned fur. I have such childhood nostalgia for them, but their main 2d designs are a lil too humanoid for me. Don’t get me started on the nickelodeon series.

I gotta ramble about their outfits and implied characterisations in their original christmas song performance. It’s so fascinating to me. The cute straw hats Simon and Theo wear!!! And the bowties!!! It gives off professionalism and preparedness, contrasted with Alvin, who doesn’t seem to wanna abide by dress code, so he’s sporting a breton cap and striped sweater with a defiant capital A on it.

He also showed resistance towards being made to perform the song, to the point of almost hitting a guy with a mallet. So, not unlike future portrayals, he’s very against adhering to authority. But this Alvin deviates, by being more driven my impulse than ego — modern Alvin wouldn’t have tried to stop their performance. Also, Simon and Theodore were rather indistinguishable, but driven by the same childlike flightiness as Alvin, that they all ended up beating up David Seville to let them sing the song again.

Anyways!!!! Gonna do a group watch of the halloween movies and Chipmunk adventure tomorrow, so if I draw these guys again, 50/50 they might change.

jingle bells

malfoy smells

crabbe hit him with a mace

he landed on the quidditch field

with a bludger in his face

This was submitted to me two years ago, and somehow I let this go unanswered. I understand why, of course. What could I say to this? It is something we would have come up with in first year, and I am beyond such rhymes. But it is amusing, and therefore needed to be shared.

The only thing it seems to be missing is a quality ferret pun. Ermine opinion, that would really make the tune.
