#Merry Crisis

[allieebobo]

Hi! Hope you are doing well. Since Christmas is soon to be upon us, are there any plans for new chapters of Merry Crisis coming out in the foreseeable future? 👀

Hiya I'm about halfway through the new chapter, LOTS of things coming to a head for MCs who've been involved with more than one character... haha seems like between CT:OS and this latest chapter of merry crisis, I've been writing a hell lot of rejections!

Anyway, I'm about 20k words in, I foresee that it's about halfway, and hope to be done with everything by Christmas for early release!

I found a website that tells you if you're on Santa's naughty and nice list and I put the TSAMS, LAES, AND EAPS characters into..

LET'S SEE WHO'S BEEN NAUGHTY AND WHO'S BEEN NICE?

Aw, that's cute, Sunny 🌞

True, very true!

BAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry Moon maybe next year...

Makes sense I guess.. but way to kick a guy while he's down Mr. Claus

You have been a good boy this year Monty good job 👍

Not bad Solar, not bad.

Eclipse... HAHA! Seriously, though, you're getting there. Eclipse just a little more time, and I'm sure you'll be on the nice lost....

It just dawned on me that that was a threat. Santa just threatened Eclipse... fair.

Part two is coming soon. Merry (NOT YET) Christmas ✝️🎅🎄

A few of the more creative spellings of Christmas I’ve come across while looking for Dear Santa letters in old newspapers this year.

Me and my bf were baking gingerbreads and I cut out two tbh shaped ones. One of them, this fella, found themself a friend in the oven. Fused together while baking, it was a very cute and funny surprise when I pulled the tray out from the oven.

So I drew them.

They're inseparable, best friends.

*It's Chapter Three now, but only because I re-named the chapters, essentially what would've been called Chapter Four previously.

merry shitscram auspol batshitter, I thought you would like to know that just now while watching Muppets Christmas Carol, Scrooge said "who was the most wretched man whose death brought about joy" or something like that, and my dad (who has been in a half-asleep food coma for 90% of the movie) opened his eyes to blurt out "Scott Morrison" with a fervour like he was going to win $1000 with the correct answer

It's good to know that at least once a year, all Australians can put aside their differences, sit down together and agree that Scott Morrison is a fuckhead
