Idk about anyone else, but I fucking hate the "random white ashekenazi orthodox man as symbol of judaism/chanukah." Orthodox Jews are real people, not symbols or caricatures, and treating them as symbols perpetuates the myth they're somehow "more Jewish" than the many other types of Jews who don't look and dress like that.

This random dude is not a Jewish cultural figure on par with Santa Claus. It would be like showing catholic/protestant solidarity by showing the Pope holding hands with some random Minnsota grandma in a "Jesus Saves" sweatshirt.

Who should you put holding hands with Santa on your Chrismukah card? No one. Don't do that shit.

Steve is awoken at like 3 in the morning by an incessant pounding on the door.

He shuffles into his slippers and pads down the stairs, baseball bat in hand just in case.

At the door is a weary, dishevelled Billy Hargrove who looks like he’s on the verge of collapse.

Steve, alarmed ushers him in.

Sara Harrington, who was never exactly the heaviest sleeper, is already downstairs, peering at Billy with concern.

She leans down to his level, already splayed across the couch and makes a halting attempt at the language she hates so much.

Billy, shockingly, responds in imperfect but recognisable Yiddish before passing out.

Sara’s response is both deeply troubled but also has undercurrents of relief woven in.

“You never told me you found a Jewish friend.”

Well, friend is a stretch and Steve had no idea until about 5 seconds ago that Billy was anything but Irish Catholic.

Joshua finds out three hours later, when he wakes up to find a boy he doesn’t know at his dining table.

That makes Billy freeze, hairs standing on end in the middle of reaching for a pastry.

He only relaxes again when Steve’s dad makes a terrible joke about breakfast food and sits down, completely unfazed.

Steve manages to park himself right next to Billy, frantically whispering as he tries to figure out what the fuck is going on.

Billy’s response is a shrugged “dad found out I still practiced and kicked me out”, as if that isn’t one of the most horrific things Steve has ever heard.

Billy joins them for Shabbat that evening, as it’s a Friday. It’s clear he’s the real deal and that leaves Steve’s head swimming with questions. Why the fuck did a man so obviously bigoted marry a Jewish woman?

They smoke together peacefully on Steve’s driveway, Billy blowing out a long billow of smoke up into the night sky. He shifts slightly closer to Steve. Almost looking like he might reach out but then moves away.

Billy moves in permanently with the Byers. Steve sees him frequently at Temple, bantering with the Rabbi. It’s weird but seeing him in this environment, Steve could never picture him anywhere else.

Steves not got a crush or anything. He just daydreams about kissing Billy after he gets back from Rosh Hashana services. Normal guy stuff.

One night Billy climbs through his window. He just wants someone to talk to. Joshua and Sara are out on a business trip so Steve puts on Bronski Beat and they dance. Sensual. Steve’s head is on a fairground ride.

He’s pretty sure Billy leans in quickly to peck him on the lips but it’s so brief it might have been a dream.

It all kind of snowballs from there.

Certainly in terms of pseudo (?) romance. Which Steve isn’t complaining about

Steve thinks he may be sleepwalking. He flips through pamphlets about coming out and all of them inevitably point the same flashing arrow straight to him.

There’s a lump in his throat when he comes out to his parents. They’re so supportive, almost aggressively so and it makes Steve’s heart swell.

Coming out to Billy is a different kettle of fish. Steves fully aware that he’s obfuscating the matter, especially with the way he’ll lean into Billy’s touch but it’s just scary. Terrifying really.

Eventually though, he concedes.

Billy’s managed to get him into the backseat of the Camaro. It’s nowhere near as x rated as particularly Robin was expecting, more just second base. Something like that.

Steve finally manages to break away from the kiss and declare “I think I’m gay”.

Billy’s face says no shit but he’s not a dick about it. Instead, he motions for Steve to go on.

There’s a lot of cliches Steve could use. A fuck ton. But he keeps it brief.

He mumbles that he loves Billy and waits for the other shoe to drop.

It never does. Not really.

Billy just says it back. And they carry on.

This isn’t quite a Pesach or Chanukah fic but tysm @kallisto-k and @slime-hoe for your lovely comments, I hope this Jewish Harringrove is ok

My Xanuka gift to you

A rare selfie, so you may all enjoy my Ugly Hanukkah sweater. (And comically large coffee cup. And bleached hair that the dye washed out of ages ago.)

I love it PASSIONATELY. Not only does it combine garish primary colors with DRAWINGS of fake gold buttons, but it's not a sweater. It's a long-sleeved shirt entirely covered, front and back, with a drawing of a CARDIGAN AND TIE. A FUCKING TIE.

It even has a fake button-down shirt! I got so many imaginary pieces of clothing with this purchase!

No effort was spared in the drawing of this shirt! The tie is royal blue, absolutely slathered in a pattern of yellow magen davids. The cardigan has lit menorot on the shoulders, blue dreidels below that, a feisty red and blue zigzag pattern below that, and it's not done yet! Below the zigzag, a row of blue magen davids! Below the magen davids, they've drawn blue stitching that spells out HANUKKAH!

AND THEN THE PATTERN REPEATS. Meaning that we not only get the full menorah on each side again, but we can see that each one actually has four blue dreidels scattered below it, each showing one of the four letters on the sides!

ה! ש! ה'! ג!

A great miracle happened here, on this fake cardigan!!

I don't recall where I bought it. But if you google FauxReal Ugly Hanukkah Sweater, you can find it secondhand and on lots of other sites.

Which is how I discovered that the back is ONE HUGE LIT MENORAH. Headed by the fake-stitched message, "HAPPY HANUKKAH," flanked by ✨ORANGE GLITTER EMOJIS.✨

This shirt is my fucking soulmate. Please congratulate me upon my aroace ass finding my very questionable soulmate. Thank you.

The back also reveals that there are way too many dreidels scattered around the base of the menorah (I kid; there's no such thing as too many dreidels) and that the bottom several inches aren't just blue, they're blue with a subtle (for this shirt) pattern that looks like ribbing. At an extreme distance. Close up it looks like someone drew their idea of what knitting looks like, then put it through an excess of Photoshop filters.

But even that reveals more exciting details about this shirt! I had not noticed that the entire thing is actually drawn with a similar texture! Even the blue stitching is dyed in this splotchy darker and lighter blue, which maybe gives it An Effect:

MAJESTIC. I'M MAJESTIC IN ALL MY CHANUKAH GLORY!!!!!!!!!!

the problem with harry potter is that obviously - even putting jkr ENTIRELY aside - everything post-canon is INCREDIBLY racist, the masquerade concept is kind of vile morally and as i've posted previously the WHOLE series is sort of deeply steeped in the antisemitism intrinsic to all of the western esoteric tradition. BUT.

just got a thank-you card specifically for a christmas card. like, this woman (my dad's best friend) sent me a christmas card, then i sent her a christmas card, then she sent me a card thanking me for the christmas card. here is what she wrote:

Thank you for the best belly laugh of 2024. The Fucking Deer card is the hit on Christmas card wall. I will keep it FOREVER and put it up every year. So from now on it will always be the FIRST card up! (and the last one down!)

here is the card in question:

[ID: Outside of a Fresh Frances greeting card, illustrated by Demi Schlehofer. The card has a repeating pattern like you might see on a Christmas sweater, featuring reindeer and fir trees. Five of the reindeer are standing alone. There are also three reindeer couples having sex, with one reindeer mounting the other. /end ID]

the message printed on the inside of the card read:

Oh deer! Wishing you a very merry Christmas!

in addition to which i had handwritten:

Help. I bought this card thinking it was a nice holiday sweater/cross stitch theme, only to discover when I got home that those reindeer are definitely getting busy. I was only looking at the reindeer that are just standing there alone but there is reindeer erotica mere centimeters away. Kinda makes sense to do this through the medium of cross stitch I guess...it comes pre-pixelated. Anyway, I have this card now and I'm going down my list of people I know trying to think who would not take this in one of the multiple possible wrong ways to take this, and I landed on you. So, congrats for being the recipient/lucky winner of the fucking reindeer card, I guess??? [paragraph of responses to specific things she had said in her Christmas card] Keep on keepin' on, and remember, reindeer babies gotta come from somewhere. Happy holidays! [my name]
