#Christmas favorite stuffers

[kentnaturaltribrid]

My favorite stocking stuffer is The Candycane, they’re fun and taste like twizzler mixed with mint. Though, a second would be sugar free jellybeans, which taste like all sorts of sweet.

————————————————————————-

Summary: Joe is yet again on the receiving end of your mischief. This time you prank him by randomly leaving without saying a word.

Warnings: None, fluff, unserious/funny, pranks!

Pairing: Joe Burrow x reader

Imagine universe: Into The Mystic

————————————————————————-

*20 weeks pregnant*

The house was warm but quiet.

Tyson and Miles were asleep upstairs since it was late, and the only sounds were of the crackling fireplace.

Joe was lying down, taking up the entire couch and reading a book, while I sat a couple of feet away on the loveseat.

I was on my notes app brainstorming ideas for stocking stuffers for the boys since Christmas was right around the corner.

Once my list was done, I found myself getting increasingly bored sitting there doing nothing.

The presents for Joe, Tyson, and Miles were already wrapped and Christmas dinner was already planned. There was nothing left for me to do.

I knew better than to disturb Joe while he was reading. After a quick analysis of his body language, his eyebrows furrowing in concentration told me that he was very deep into whatever odd topic he was reading about.

Giggling to myself at his face, I pulled Tiktok up, and almost like muscle memory went to my ‘Joe Pranks’ collection.

There was one video that I had saved that stood out to me because I wouldn't have to interact with Joe to do it. Perfect.

I quickly stood up and walked over to the TV stand, acting like I was moving around decorations, but I was actually setting my phone up to record.

After it was set and recording, I walked to the front door and slipped a pair of shoes on before grabbing my keys out of the dish.

I unlocked the deadbolt and opened the door, by now I had Joe’s attention.

“Where are you going?” - Joe

Ignoring him, I walked out of the door and dramatically slammed it behind me.

Now, I had no idea what he was doing, but I just stood in the driveway. Hopefully, he would come out here.

Not even a minute later, the door opened and Joe stuck his head out. He hadn't seen me yet, and his eyes looked panicked.

“y/n?” - Joe whisper yelled

“Hi.” - you

Joe’s gaze snapped over into the direction my voice came from, and he immediately looked equal parts annoyed and confused.

“What the hell are you doing?” - Joe

I shrugged and he stepped out onto the porch.

“Get in the house. It's like freezing.” - Joe

Now I couldn't contain my laughter as he continuously got more flustered.

“Baby, it's cold outside. Come back in the house.” - Joe

“You just said a song title.” - you laughed

“Yup. C’mon, Mama.” - Joe

I didn't move or even budge so Joe heaved a sigh and walked off of the porch.

A loud squeal escaped my lips when he strode up to me and gently picked me up bridal style. He did so extra carefully due to the baby.

“Joey!” - you giggled

“You weren't gonna move so Imma move you myself.” - Joe

He hurriedly got me into the house and sat me down on the couch before walking back to the front door and shutting it.

Joe made his way back to the couch and found his spot sitting behind me. My back to his chest, his arms around my waist, and his hands on my bump.

“Babe, your cheeks are red.” - Joe

“I'm fine. I was outside for like two minutes, and it was just a little prank” - you laughed

“Shit, the last time you walked out without saying was when we were in high school. Remember you were at my house and I was playing video games? You got mad because I wasn't talking to you and you just left. I remember being scared you were going to break up with me.” - Joe

“Well, I didn't.” - you

“Obvs.” - Joe chuckled

“Do you ever wonder what our high school selves would say if they saw who we were today?” - you

“Oh, all the time. High school Joe would pass out if I told him all of the accomplishments he's made… with his favorite girl by his side.” - Joe

“I love you, Joe.” - you grinned

“I love you too, sweetheart. Now where's your phone hidden? I wanna watch this prank footage.” - Joe

The rest of the night was spent watching the various recordings I have of pranking Joe. He found most of them amusing, but after we finished watching all of them, Joe said something that made me slightly nervous.

“One day, Imma get you back. When you least expect it.” - Joe smirked

“Oh no.” - you

————————————————————————-

Authors note: these Joe pranks are my fav thing ever to write 💀🫶

ok i’ve been looking for this for weeks cus i had an idea like u said she thinks the green ones taste different so she gives them to him, i could just imagine him stocking up on candy during christmas when it comes with only red and green m&m’s so he can have more since she doesn’t like sharing

link

ANON. i just want you to know i’ve been thinking about this ever since you sent it :3

dad simon definitely does do this, since his lil’ girl is so picky he’ll sit back on the sofa and watch as she sorts the mini green and red m&m’s on the coffee table. listen to her count aloud how many red chocolates she will get, and if she has less than the green she will definitely pout for the rest of the day.

simon puts lil’ peanut butter cups in her stocking stuffer, knowing she’ll give them to you because they’re your favorite.

he’s not much of a candy guy but he goes all out for christmas and halloween because he can’t resist the happy look on his daughter’s face. the way she stuffs her face with the sweets (much to your displeasure) only to have a sugar crash moments later. it gets her tired with a sappy grin on her face, definitely simon’s favorite way to put her down for a nap.

the night before christmas big papa simon sits at the dinner table, late at night and tediously sorts the multicolored candies. he divides it into 3 bags, red and blue for his girl, yellow and orange for you, and he’ll get what you guys don’t like. he knows you’d never turn down a sweet treat, and he doesn’t mind. not when he gets to see the both of you bicker over which ‘flavor’ is superior.

what designer scents would the jojos wear?

about a year ago now I posted one of my first headcanons, which was the bath and body works scents of the animated jojos. i now give you, the classy, upscale, version of whatever was running through my head then

jonathan joestar - gentleman (1974) by givenchy

top notes: honey, cinnamon, rose, tarragon, bergamot, and lemon

middle notes: patchouli, cedar, orris root, and jasmine

base notes: patchouli, leather, civet, oakmoss, vetiver, musk, amber and vanilla

this scent has an air of elegance to it, while still having a warm and rich feeling. it's a timeless scent that never goes out of style. the recent reformulation has it drying down stronger honey-wise, but that's alright, because like jonathan, its got that sweet side. the leather also gives it the "manly" vibe too. overall, it's cozy, elegant, and the scent of a true gentleman like jonathan.

young joseph joestar - dior sauvage

top notes: calabrian bergamot, pepper

middle notes: sichuan pepper, lavender, pink pepper, vetevier, patchouli, germanium, elemi

base notes: ambroxan, cedar, labdanum

if you know anything about this fragrance, you'll know why it's fitting. to me, it really smells like a muskier axe body spray, but a lot of people really like it and claim it's overhated, and here i am giving it to my favorite joestar. he definitely thinks it makes him smell rich and suave and maybe even elegant (because its dior), but he really smells like most of the other guys his age at the club. caesar absolutely clowns him for it, but he doesn't care. this scent comes on strong, some people dig it, some don't, just like joseph.

old joseph joestar - maison martin margiela "replica" jazz club

top notes: pink pepper, neroli, lemon

middle notes: rum, java vetiver oil, clary sage

base notes: tobacco leaf, vanilla bean, styrax

after many years of sauvage, holly came along and got a nose full of it when joseph picked her up, she called out how strong it was and made her nose itchy, and he needed to switch it up because anything to make his little girl happy! this scent is a bit different, leaning more towards his grandfather's choices in the warm and sweetness, but it still has that bite of pink pepper right at that front, you know it's still the same joseph you know and love. a more mature perfume for a more mature man, but still has an air of fun to it.

jotaro kujo - armani acqua di gio

top notes: lemon, lime, bergamot, jasmine, orange, mandarin orange, neroli

middle notes: "sea notes," calone, jasmine, rosemary, peach, freesia, hyacinth, cyclamen, violet, coriander, rose, nutmeg, mignonette

base notes: musk, cedar, oak moss, patchouli, amber

this applies to all parts y'all! his mommy got it for him as a stocking stuffer for christmas and not once has he ever changed it out. it smells fresh and clean without the overbearing spices, and the warmth of musk and amber balances out the citrus and florals, creating a timeless scent. it's quite popular among men, but jotaro doesn't really care, he likes it. the sea notes also fit well with the marine biology. when he's young, he uses it only for important events, but as he ages (and has more money) he finds himself reaching for it more and more often.

josuke higashikata - terre d'hermès

top notes: orange, grapefruit

middle notes: pepper, pelargonium, flint

base notes: vetiver, cedar, patchouli, benzoin

he's gotta spend that lotto money on something! or dad's money! like his father once did, he wants a scent that makes him seem rich and suave and awesome, however, josuke has a little more fun with it as that initial bite is not with pepper, but a bitter citrus. the spices still just tickle the nose, delivering a balanced, smooth, blend. he may have even taken notes from jotaro's citrus scent as well, who's to say? its got a vintage flair, but it still feels modern, its just an overall unique scent, you're not gonna find anyone else wearing something like this.

giorno giovanna - versace pour homme

top notes: lemon, bergamot, neroli, rose de mai

middle notes: hyacinth, cedar, clary sage, geranium

bottom notes: tonka bean, musk, amber

this versatile and underrated scent i feel gives the perfect scent profile for giorno. it may not be overly extravagant, but understated elegance is precisely what makes it so endlessly enjoyable. it can be worn day or night, dressed up or down, and its versatility makes it great for whatever he may do. i had said in my bath and body works post a while ago he'd reserve designer cologne for occasions, but thinking about it now, this is something he'd wear on the daily.

jolyne kujo - gucci flora gorgeous gardenia

top notes: pear blossom, red berries, italian mandarin

middle notes: gardenia, jasmine, frangipani

bottom notes: brown sugar, patchouli

i had a couple ideas for jolyne, but i ended up picking gucci because i thought of the jojo x gucci collab and felt it was perfect. this scent doesn't overpower, but is still captivating in its own unique way. the sweetness of the top notes combined with the white florals offers a fresh scent always is going to turn heads. jolyne is a creative and smart character and does things in her own way, and quite honestly, i feel like this blend reflects that. not much else to it.

i hope you all enjoyed :D i'm thinking about posting a version of this for the jobros too

masterlist <3

[bingoboingobongo]

task force 141 + stocking stuffers

Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra

Type: Fluff, headcanons

Warnings: none

A/N: gshshhshd posted part 2 to the right thing to do today and now im writing this to help the anxiety

kyle "gaz" garrick:

ok so i feel like gaz is a little bit of a nerd/geek

so he enjoys getting little figurines/action figures of characters from shows/movies/games he likes

think like funko pops

he likes to set them up along his desk in his room

and sometimes he pretends they're watching him while he works

his favorite candy to get in his stocking is peanut m&ms

he's just a fan of all kinds of peanut chocolate candies and i can't even blame him

peanut m&ms slap

in terms of getting things for other people

gaz always goes with a classic gift card

he will, however, make sure that the gift card matches with their favorite store

john price

price's favorite thing to get in his stocking is puzzle books

crossword puzzles, word searches, sudokus, riddles, etc.

anything and everything puzzle based he loves

he likes bringing them with him on missions when he has a spot of free time

they're relaxing to him and they keep his mind young

he's also insanely good at doing puzzles

but he's also had years and years of practice

he also got to go on npr and play the puzzle with weekend edition puzzle master will shortz a few years back

he also did really well and so now he never shuts up about it

whenever he pulls out his puzzle book it's followed by a comment about his time on npr

in terms of what he likes to get for other people he usually gets them candy

you know those plastic candy canes filled with different kinds of candy?

yeah price will buy like three of them for each team member and then call it a day

but of course he gets each team member their favorite candy

he also lets them get away with more stuff during the holidays

i.e. skipping chores, training, etc.

oh yeah i almost forgot this but price lives getting socks in his stocking

fuzzy socks, normal socks, thermal socks, patterned socks

he's really just a fan of socks in general

simon "ghost" riley:

ghost doesn't really have a favorite thing to get in his stocking

but his favorite thing is always whatever you get him

even if it's something stupid or small

one time you got him a customized pocket knife and he's kept it with him ever since

but usually he enjoys whatever little knick knacks people put in his stocking

and in general the stuff he gets are more practical then sentimental

and oml when it comes to things ghost gets for other people

ghost is actually insane at gift giving it's unreal

everything that everyone else likes? that's exactly what he gets them

part of it is because he's so observant he can always tell what people enjoy

and the other thing is that he's so good at reading people he knows exactly how they feel about the gifts they get

but like ghost is the kind of guy to get you smthing you mentioned back in january

and he always makes sure to get exactly what people want, even if it's super inconvenient for him

it's hard for ghost to be vulnerable and so giving these little stocking stuffers which are traditionally seen as sorta trivial lets him show everyone in the team just how much he loves them without making a big deal out of it

john "soap" mactavish:

ok before we get to soap's favorite stocking stuffers here's his least favorite stocking stuffer

soap

that's it

every year, everyone on the team gets him soap for his stocking stuffers

sometimes it's a bar of soap, sometimes it's three in one, one time someone got him a soap from lush (he actually really enjoyed it)

so every christmas season soap gets way too many soaps than he needs

usually he sends most of them to a local shelter and then keeps one for himself

now onto his favorite stocking stuffer

i feel like soap is actually an avid collector of lighters

but not normal lighters like novelty lighters

so like lighters with cool colored flames or cool shapes

everyone on the team knows about his collection so they're always on the lookout for cool lighters when they're on missions

so as a result he has a ton of lighters from like all over the world

i think the funniest thing is he doesn't even use them

sometimes he'll light a cigarette with them or fiddle with them but for the most part he keeps them in his room

he's very protective of them though and he doesn't let anyone use it without permission

rodolfo "rudy" parra:

rudy's favorite thing to get in his stocking is mini lego sets

and yes he like big lego sets for his actual gifts too

he's liked legos ever since he was a little kid so it only makes sense

he likes getting the mini holiday sets but he also likes getting those minifigure sets where you try and get all of the characters

he also composes a year long list every year of sets that he wants

he really likes the lego technic car sets too

in terms of what he gets other people

he'll usually make something homemade for them

like cookies or smthing

and then he makes key chain minifigures of them and puts them in their stockings

and they're like surprisingly accurate

it's very very cute

most team members keep them on their key rings or in their bags

he makes new ones every year and he'll even custom make faces and clothes to make them accurate

alejandro vargas:

alejandro's favorite thing to get in his stocking are hygiene products

i know that sounds weird but lemme explain

by hygiene products i mean grooming stuff, face masks, etc.

i feel like alejandro is the kind of guy who isn't scared to pamper himself and take care of his skin/body

so whenever christmas comes around he always asks for skin care/hair care stuff

he always tries to get the rest of the team to join him and he can usually get most of them on board

all of them except ghost of course

but soap, rudy, price, gaz, and him will always have a spa day/hair day after christmas

when it comes to getting other people stuff alejandro likes getting them skincare too

this way when they have their spa day everyone has facemasks and hair products, etc to use

nobody knows how but alejandro is actually really good at knowing what kind of skin everyone has

and he always gets them products aligned with their skin

but along with skincare he also gets everyone cash for the stockings

usually around $25-$35 for each person

I went to Target before 8am this morning because a favorite thing of mine is to pick out discounted gift wrap and silly little holiday things. And it was not fun at all. The crowds weren’t bad but there wasn’t anything very fun. The whole town is out of Brie “we’re supposed to get some more tomorrow”. I had a tiny heart attack at the total the clerk told me. I paid and then went to a quiet place to study the receipt. I picked up three little Pokémon toys from a stocking stuffer 50% off display and they were not on sale. I explained to customer service what happened and that I wanted to return them immediately. They handed back over $25, more than half of my frivolous fund.

Our ikea order of gay dinosaurs arrived. The cousinbabies will get them at the end of the week probably. Don’t tell

I made some calls. I started sobbing when I was trying to tell a friend of my mom’s from over 40 years ago that mom had died.

Ohbrother: I thought today was going to be an ordinary day. I was going to buy paper for the label maker mom got me for Christmas.

Me: I bought toothpaste and coffee creamer

Ohbrother: such mundane things.

I just ordered some purple wrapping paper and a Skeletor ornament online.

[thesoftboiledegg]

A couple of thrift stores have opened in my area in the past year. I didn't expect to find any merchandise, but after @i-believe-in-unicorns-and-you showed me the Rick and Morty sweatpants she found at Marshall's and I thought about the crazy finds on @shiftythrifting, I figured I'd give it a shot.

And who knew: it was time for a thrift store roundup! 👚🧦

The first store had a section for gifts and accessories. My expectations were low, but when I rounded the corner, the shelves were loaded with Rick and Morty stocking stuffers. The first thing I saw was this bathrobe:

Hmm, that's a cute figure...maybe someone should draw Rick wearing that. 🤔

This sock packaging is adorable. It looks like a pint of ice cream!

On a similar note, I actually thought these were cans of pickle juice. Adult Swim has no problem selling Toxic Rick and Shrimp Rick energy drinks, so it wouldn't be off-brand, but nope: they're boxer shorts that advertise your SWAG.

I realize that Swag is the brand name, but selling Pickle Rick boxers with SWAG on the waistband isn't exactly helping the show's bro-y reputation. The can is cute, though.

Let's all celebrate Rickmas...with Pickle Rick!

Evidently, socks are a hot item. I think they're the new ugly Christmas sweaters.

In fact, Cool Rick wants you to buy these socks!

And you can complete your outfit with festive sweatpants.

Next stop: Marshall's. They continued the theme with an advent calendar. 12 days of socks!

Advent calendars have been getting more luxurious over the years. Some people spend hundreds of dollars on calendars loaded with jewelry, ornaments, food and beauty products. Apparently, 2021's most expensive calendar was custom-made and cost $10 million. Must be nice!

Anyway, back to the proletariat: I love the design on these boxers. OK, maybe Rick didn't think it through, but he's proud of his gift!

More sweatpants! "Anatomy Park" is one of my least favorite episodes, so I'd ask for the receipt for that one.

I did think John Oliver's character was funny. "Would you like to ride...the bone train?"

Finally, I went to Five Below. They had one of the strangest pieces of merchandise I've ever seen: a projector that casts a picture of Rick and Morty underneath your car.

I could see somebody doing that once for Halloween or another event, but all the time? Wearing merchandise isn't enough--you have to represent the show while you're driving? Are guys hoping that Dan Harmon will see this and be so impressed that he makes out with them a little?

Then again, I guess there's a reason it has a clearance sticker.

[writer-rider-flirty-thirties]

Ooooh 51: “What the hell are you wearing?”

Feel like this is a good one for Chloe x Marinette 👀

Oh? I'll give it a try!

------------------

It all started with a commission.

Well… a lot of commissions. 

One random Friday evening, Marinette had checked her blog to find that she’d been commissioned for twenty - TWENTY - blouses in varying colors from one of her palettes jokingly named ‘girlfriend material’ by Alya. 

‘It’s just a cute name for it!’ Her best friend had said in the moment. ‘Maybe Adrien will see you in it and think the same thing: she is girlfriend material!’ 

Marinette hadn’t felt like arguing - as Adrien had been the furthest thing from her mind lately due to all the akuma attacks - and had typed the name into the website as a placeholder. She had planned to change it eventually but she’d forgotten and the site went up so there was no turning back. 

She had been sure with a name like that, no one would ever choose the colors, but here she was: sewing together twenty - TWENTY - blouses using those very colors. 

Interesting. 

Marinette wondered who would want so many shirts like this. What kind of person would bulk order them? Were they presents? Were they going to be like stocking stuffers at this person’s next Christmas party? Were they presents for someone’s twenty different lovers for Valentine’s Day?

The possibilities were endless and Marinette reasoned that she shouldn’t worry about it too much: once these were shipped off there was no way of knowing what would happen to them and she shouldn’t be thinking about shirts she would never see again…

… Except she was seeing them again! 

Day after day, Marinette found herself looking at the blouses that had taken her weeks to design and put together. And she knew they were hers because it matched her design down to a tee! And while she wasn’t unhappy to see her merchandise being wore out in public, she was surprised to see it at school…

On Chloe! 

Chloe of all people?

Had Chloe been the one to commission her? If so, why hadn’t she said anything? It was very unlike her not to boast about being the one to put money in someone’s pocket or even make fun of Marinette’s clothes to her face. 

But Chloe said nothing. 

Day after day, she wore the shirts to school, the group hangouts, when she was out at lunch with her father, the mayor, and even on her Instagram. 

It all confused Marinette so much that on this particular Friday when Chloe walked into homeroom wearing one of the blouses - the only one with a splash of yellow around the collar to accentuate the black - Marinette couldn’t stop herself.

“What the hell are you wearing?” 

The question sent the room into a shocked silence and everyone watched as Chloe slowly turned to Marinette. “What was that, Dupain-Cheng?”

Gulping, Marinette stood up from her seat. “I asked what you are wearing?”

A tiny smirk lifted her glossy lips and she sauntered over to Marinette. “If you’re asking about my shirt, Dupain-Cheng, then I’ll tell you. I’m wearing a design by one of my favorite designers.”

Marinette’s mouth went dry. One of her favorites? “Really?”

“Mhm. I even used Daddy’s credit card because, once I saw it, I couldn’t resist. I had to buy twenty of them.”

So Chloe really had bought them! And she knew that it was Marinette who made them! But… “Why?”

Chloe’s eyes glittered and Marinette gasped as she felt the blonde’s fingers across the back of her hand. “I was tired of beating around the bush. I wanted the designer to know that I’m serious and that I’m just like her shirts.”

Gulping, Marinette felt a blush on her cheeks. “You’re just like her shirts how?”

Leaning in, Chloe’s breath tickled her ear. “I’m also girlfriend material.”

With that, Chloe winked before proudly walking back to her seat, keenly aware of the blushing  and overthinking mess she had made of her classmate.

A classmate who was quickly realizing that she would very much like to find out if the blonde really was girlfriend material herself.

I think I died and came back to life from too much sweetness while reading! I literally had to get up and walk around the room to avoid squealing. The scene where Jake is sitting with the sleeping Lo'ak and Quaritch with Spider was so beautiful that, as a very sensitive person, I almost cried. All Quaritch's fatherly gestures 🥹. QUARITCH APOLOGIZING. The use of the word papa seemed so different from when it is used in Cabin. AND MENTIONS ABOUT PAZ. I can't put any sensible sentences together but it was absolutely stunning ♥️♥️ And one more thing, I need to know what everyone got for Christmas 😅

Merry Christmas to you too and thank you for this masterpiece!

Oh my god thank you 😭 that means so much to me.

As for what everyone got for christmas, I really wanted to have a scene of Quaritch and Jake basically dicking around in a Walmart gathering up the gifts for everyone but in the end I decided against it. The story was getting really long as is and I really wanted it to come out yesterday so I cut it.

Spider didn't ask for much, he got a couple of video games, some new wheels for his skateboard, and new art supplies. Also since this is set a few months after To be Your Own Man I had the idea of Spider being in that awkward phase of growing out his hair where it just looks really messy and so Quaritch gives him hair ties and clips as a stocking stuffer.

Kiri got a lot of ✨crystal girly ✨stuff, crystals, candles, pretty notebooks and things for her pet snake.

Neteyam got some books, a new compound bow, and tickets to see his favorite band with his dad in a few months.

Lo'ak got a new skateboard, video games, a new hunting knife, and tickets to see his favorite band with Spider over the summer.

Tuk is really the one that made out like a bandit. She got every toy she so much as mentioned as wanting. To be honest a good chunk of the gifts where for her even though Jake and Quaritch put in a lot of effort to make sure they were getting all the kids an equal amount of stuff.

Open Christmas Starter (Female or Futa only)

Gobita hummed heavily as she placed the gifts down under the tree. She always loved this time of year. Sure she usually got teased for looking like an elf with her short size and long ears, but it was worth it to give out gifts and special potions for the good girls and boys of the village. She clapped her hands together as she was ready to relax on the couch when she heard someone coming through her chimney. A small smirk formed on her face as her other favorite part of thos holiday came around. She bent herself over on one of the presents and spread her cheeks wide, gently wiggling back and forth.

"Ho ho ho, I'm hoping for a nice, thick, white Christmas this year~" She smirked softly and waited for her stocking stuffer to arrive.

[xespietamayo]

where: Winter Holiday Market when: December 2023 who: Espie & @joshlane

Espie's favorite time of the year had arrived, as had the annual holiday market. An absolute sucker for all things Christmas, her time to splurge a bit had arrived. Comfortably bundled up, with some hot coffee in hand, Espie was happily exploring what all was being offered this year. "I am making everyone's ornaments, but I want to see what I can get for stocking stuffers and smaller gifts.." she voiced her goal for today's visit, more thinking out loud than anything. However, she switched gears a bit, turning up to Josh to ask, "Maybe let's start with food though, before these lines get crazy. How about over there?"

[bokettochild]

I would love to see your plushies collection! How many of them have names?

All of them!

And here they are!

These are Creamer and Angus! The trusty steeds of my stuffed animal collection! They didn't talk like the others, but they had some personality; both loyal, Creamer (the palomino) more friendly and Angus (the black one) more guarded.

These two are Katy and Lucy/Andy. Katy (grey) is the more timid one, and was given to me by my younger brother. Lucy is a friendly and outgoing person, but when I made her a boy, 'Andy' he was more of a jokester and risk taker. Lucy/Andy was given to me for the Christmas my dad was overseas, in my stocking. My mom had an identical one that I loved to bits, so she got me my own.

Katy is the twin sister to my elder sibling's identical cat "Kitty"(very original, I know)

Fun fact! These two kitties have magnets in their paws and foreheads! So they can hold hands, play peek-a-boo and stick to anything metal!

These two are Kittiwink and Rocky! They're BlueNoses™ and I think they're from England?

Fun fact! These two were also gifts from my dad when he was deployed. That same Christmas, he sent these over for us, and my mom let us choose which ones we wanted. My siblings all went first, so Rocky and Kittiwink were the last two when me and my roommate (current and at that time) got our turns. Because I was the only one who had cleaned our room that night, I got first pick and chose Kittiwink, and my sister got Rocky, but was upset because he was "ugly".

Kittiwink was later burned at the stake (put on top of a light bulb and melted) by my toddler brother, so the one I have now is actually one my dad got me when I was 14, for my birthday.

Kiitiwink is a timid and quiet deary, with good manners and a lot of cowardice. Come to think of it, she's a lot like how I write Ravio nowadays; caring but cowardly, and never eager to step on toes, but willing to push matters or tease if she feels comfortable.

Rocky was a bully, originally, because my sister hated him, but when he came to me (because she didn't like him) I made him a studious little nerd with a love of astronomy! He and Kittiwink have been a couple since then, although I have at times elected to cast them as siblings when needed. Their romance is very timid and sweet, but very classy <3

These three are Lewis (Grey), Susanna (White) and Roy (Orange). Lewis was a garage sale find, and Susana and Roy I bought online. I had a cat just like Susana when I was seven, that I most cleverly named "White" and whom was my favorite stuffy for forever. When my dad was deployed over Christmas, my mom was actually almost ready to pop with my second brother, so we had to travel out of state to stay with some friends of hers while the baby was born, because our regular sitters all got hung up with something and we had no family in that part of the country. I left White in the living-room window to greet me when I got home, but she wasn't there when I got back. My siblings tried to convince me that she was so old that she disintegrated :(

I bought Susana when I was older, in hopes of replacing my beloved stuffy, but she wasn't the same except in looks. Where White was sweet and gentle, Susana is stern, stuffy and very proper, with an elder sibling like need to correct other people and keep everyone behaving according to the rules of society.

Roy is her lover, a charismatic and charming leader sort who ended up as arm candy more than not because I had no great male role models to inspire him, and thus he was just there as...arm candy.

Lewis is a stupid and lovable bafoon and Roy's best friend. He occasionally played a villain or henchman, but was also a goof and jokester when he wasn't kidnapping or enslaving innocents or committing war crimes.

This is Susana. Another stocking stuffer, but this one hated. She's very cute, but don't let her face fool you, she's made of cherpa! A most detestable ick material that always makes me uncomfortable. For this crime, she was made the Karen of this world, and an all around bully and entitled jerk to anyone and everyone for no reason whatsoever. Why, you ask? Because this way I didn't have to touch her very much :)

These two are Jacob and Jingle! Two of a trio, the third (their elder brother) belongs to my elder sister, and is named John. their last name is Heimer-Schmitt >:)

Yes, we sang that song incessantly whenever this trio came into play "John-Jacob-Jingeheimer-Schmitt!". They're children of the local butcher, these three were honest but poor and always provided backup, care, and support for those around them. John was madly in love with the aristocratic Kitty, but his siblings were content with their lot and friendly with most but not attempting to climb the social ladder. Jingle is sweet and motherly and Jacob somewhat clueless but well meaning.

For no reason whatsoever, Jingle was the only one with a cockney accent.

This is William. He is a classist aristocrat with an attitude problem. My second elder sister gave him to me when I was eight, for my birthday. I wanted to name him Miracle and make him a girl, but his perpetual scowl made it barely believable and he quickly became the stern, serious and somewhat antagonistic figure he is now known as. Sometimes a villain, sometimes not, but never quite the hero, he was never able to land a lady, despite the fact that he was commonly portrayed as quite the catch.

These two are Martin (mouse) and Mattie (bunny). They're both hand-me-downs with tragically already established personalities belonging to my second elder sister. Bitter rivals for no apparent reason and hardly equal, Martin is a weary but resiliant fighter and skillful in his craft, and Mattie is a gluttonous oaf who lacks any real grounds to stand a threat to anyone, especially with his nonsensically poor attempts at manipulation.

Mattie is absolutely adorable, but my every attempt to redeem him into a likable character failed after he came into my possession, du to bias from my playmates, and he is now doomed to be thought of as the stupid villain forever :(

Martin is cardboard and boring, and his charming rabbit ears were butchered in the first of many experiments by my sister to try altering him. He is now a mouse :(

This is Daisy! One of a trio of rabbits belonging to my eldest sister, my room-mate and myself, she's basically me! She's well meaning but unfortunately quick to charge ahead. Inquisitive but not as insightful as likely would be best, and with a good heart but not always a full understanding of how things actually work.

Her sisters, Blossom (elder sister) and Violet (room-mate) and she are all BlueNoses™ as well. Blossom is quiet, delicate, timid, and a coward, and Violet is bold, brash, independent and possibly gender fluid, apparently (room-mate's words).

Daisy came to me on December 10 as a replacement after my brother burned my beloved BlueNose™ at the stake when I was small. I loved bunnies a lot as a kid, so when my dad told me to choose a replacement for my ruined stuffy, Daisy was my first pick. I named her after my mom's favorite flower and she's been my favorite stuffy since before she even arrived.

This last trio is Dusky (left), Sierra (center) and Blackie (right). The two dogs are hand me downs from the sisters on either side of me in the age line up, and Sierra was also a hand-me-down from the second elder sibling.

These three form a small detective agency in the animal world we played in. Sierra is the chipper, friendly, but devious lead detective. She's bright and bubbly, but quick and dangerous when need be. Yes, she is a skunk, but I never let it bother me and she's been a favorite with almost all the babies in the family.

Dusky is her work-partner, a more serious, and somewhat butch female cop with a no-nonsense attitude but a soft spot for her team-mate. They're a good team, although unlikely friends and despite my younger sister's insistence, they are not lesbians, just besties.

Blackie is their commander and a stern and serious guy who mostly didn't show up in games except either to arrest someone, guard something, or occasionally to drop the role as the gruff cop and take on the position of the loyal soldier to a cruel overlord.

So yeah! that's all of them!

Or most anyway, I've collected a few random ones over the years, but none of them have ever been payed with because i was already grown up when I got them
