Cuddles are best by the Fireplace

word count- 957

Description: Bernard and You finally take a break from work; time to enjoy some much need snuggling!

The North Pole was a wonderland of swirling snow and icy magic, but nothing felt as enchanting as this—the quiet intimacy of being wrapped up in Bernard’s presence, safe and warm by the fire. The flames danced and flickered in the stone hearth, casting long shadows that intertwined with the glimmers of festive lights strung around the room. Everything felt softer in this light, like the whole world had slowed down just for the two of you.

You felt Bernard sigh contentedly against you, his entire body melting into yours as he relaxed. His curls brushed against your chin, tickling slightly, and you couldn’t resist nuzzling into his hair. It smelled like peppermint and pine, mixed with the faintest hint of gingerbread—a scent that was uniquely Bernard, comforting and familiar. You tightened your hold around his waist, pulling him closer, as if you could never get enough of him.

“You’re so warm,” he murmured, his voice muffled as he pressed his cheek against your chest. His words sent a shiver of delight down your spine, and you felt your heart swell with affection. He tilted his head just enough to glance up at you, his dark eyes gleaming with contentment and a touch of mischief. “Do you know how hard it is to find warmth like this up here?” he teased.

You chuckled softly, feeling his laughter vibrate through your chest. “Well, I’m glad I can be your personal heater,” you replied, pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead. His eyes fluttered closed at the touch, and you felt the smallest smile form against your chest.

Bernard shifted a bit, snuggling deeper into your embrace, his hands sliding up to rest on your shoulders. His fingers brushed along your collarbone, tracing absent patterns as he let himself be held. You could feel the tension slowly leaving his body, each of his breaths growing steadier and deeper. It wasn’t often that he let his guard down like this, but when he did, it was a sight that never failed to make your heart ache in the best way.

Your hand found its way under the edge of his sweater, your fingertips grazing the small of his back, and he shivered, letting out a quiet gasp. His skin was warm and soft beneath your touch, and you stroked gentle circles there, soothing and comforting. Bernard let out a breathy laugh, the sound muffled against your chest, and you could feel his lips curve into a smile.

“Ticklish?” you asked, grinning as you continued to run your fingers over his back.

He wrinkled his nose, giving you a mock glare, but there was no real annoyance behind it. “Maybe,” he admitted, his voice light and playful. “But don’t you dare use that against me, or I’ll never let you be the big spoon again.”

You couldn’t help but laugh, the sound echoing in the warm, fire-lit room. “I wouldn’t dream of it,” you said, though your hands continued to wander gently, tracing the dip of his spine and the curves of his muscles. You could feel how strong he was, the years of hard work and dedication he had poured into managing Santa’s workshop, but in this moment, he was soft and pliant under your touch, completely vulnerable.

Bernard’s hands slid up to your neck, and he pulled himself up just enough to press his forehead against yours. His curls tumbled down around his face, brushing against your cheeks, and you could see every detail in his eyes—the flecks of gold, the warmth that seemed endless. You held his gaze, your breath mingling in the small space between you.

“Thank you,” he whispered, his voice barely more than a breath. “For being here. For... everything.” His words were heavy with emotion, and you knew how much it meant for him to let himself be this open, this unguarded.

Your heart felt impossibly full, and you leaned forward to close the small distance between you, pressing your lips to his. It was a soft, lingering kiss, filled with all the love you had for him, and you felt him smile against your mouth. When you pulled back, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes shining.

“I’d be anywhere you are,” you replied, your voice steady and full of conviction. “You mean everything to me.”

Bernard let out a shaky breath, and his arms wrapped around you even tighter, as if he was afraid to let you go. He settled back against your chest, his head resting beneath your chin, and you cradled him close, feeling the rhythm of his heartbeat against your skin. You both stayed like that for a long while, wrapped up in each other, the fire crackling softly beside you.

Your hand drifted to his side, your fingers brushing over his ribs in gentle, soothing motions. He hummed, the sound vibrating through your chest, and you felt him relax even further, his body melting into yours like he was made to fit there. The warmth between you felt like a protective cocoon, shielding you both from the world outside.

“I could stay like this forever,” Bernard whispered, his voice drowsy and full of contentment.

You kissed the top of his head, your lips lingering in his hair. “Me too,” you murmured. “Me too.”

The wind howled outside, but inside, there was only the gentle rise and fall of your breathing, the soft crackle of the fire, and the quiet, unbreakable connection between you and Bernard. It was a moment that felt endless, like time had paused just to let you savor the warmth and love that filled the room.

And as you held him, you knew that this—being with him, loving him, sharing this perfect stillness—was all you needed.

Martha May Who isn’t a monster fucker because she’s horny for the Grinch, she’s a monster fucker because she dated a politician

[mysharona1987]

The true villain of Home Alone.

At least Harry and Marv were quite bumbling and funny, in their own way.

This man was simply horrible.

And Kevin’s parents look hideous for letting someone talk to their 8 year old child like that.

[the-dyke-of-handsomeness]

I want y’all to hear my opinions on the fuckin grinch right now.

it’s a terrible fuckin movie and it deserves to be jailed. All versions of it are bad and it’s so overplayed. There are much better Christmas movies out there but for some reason, the worst one out there is considered the best.

Saw this chart ranking Christmas movies:

And was so justifiably incensed I had to try fix it and make my own:

[thegoosiestlucy]

i need to vent about the ending of arthur christmas

the one year later cards explicitly say for all the main characters (even the unfortunately named reindeer) that they are happy, the endings they have may not be the ones they began the film wanting but are ones that leave them fulfilled & happy

except arthur’s

his only says they he made everyone else happy

the person who spends the whole film completely torn up & in conflict with his family just to make a little girl happy, the person who the film establishes as deeply selfless & empathetic, and the "happy ending" they give him is only making other people happy making the people who quite frankly didn't give two shits about him for the rest of the film happy regardless of his own self-sacrifice and personal satisfaction

it reminds me so much of the rainbow fish that kids book where the fish gives away all their sparkly scales you know the one

it's so incredibly heartbreaking that someone who just wanted to make sure a kid wasn't left out on christmas is held up as solely responsible for everyone else's happiness & happy endings at the expense of his own

why didn’t the filmmakers say that arthur ended up happy too i truly don’t understand this

[demisexualnathanvuornos]

Matthew Jamison, contractor and project manager (Lucas Bryant, Five More Minutes: Moments Like These, 2022)

Many people won't know that Lucas has a thriving business outside of acting, and it seems like fate was calling for him to step into Matthew's shoes.

"Well, first of all, in a strange mirroring of art meets life, right now, when I'm not working as an actor, I'm often doing building stuff. And so I'm working right now on a renovation that needs to be done by Christmas."

That's right, Lucas is a real-life Hallmark character.

"Right! So they were like, 'Well, this guy's a contractor.' And I said, 'Well, as much as I'm able to play any kind of character, this is in my wheelhouse.' I was right on board. And the director, Kevin, thought it was hilarious that the things that I was most particular about were when we were doing various installation techniques.

And so I was just like, 'This is upside down. This needs to go the other way. If you were hitting this, you'd hit it from here. And I'm not going to use a wrench here when I need a hammer.' And I just want to make sure that I'm a believable builder."

When you've got two worthwhile professions, you would certainly want to portray both in the best light. What would anybody think of his construction work if he couldn't handle the tools properly on screen?

He laughed, "So I was my own technical advisor when it came to my contractor work."

In the story, Matthew is a local contractor with ties to Kaitlyn's family who finds himself playing middleman between a developer and Kaitlyn for the home she shared with her husband and son.

It's "special because it was the first house that was designed by our lead character's late husband, who was an architect. So it's a touchy situation, obviously, but Matthew has heart and soul and a relationship with the family. So he's just trying to navigate that transaction without being insensitive to the needs of the family."

Lucas Bryant Talks Five More Minutes: Moments Like These and Life Mirroring Art

[pseudo-ersatz]

John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ came out in 1982, and was later on HBO shortly after — meaning I was younger than 10 when I first sneaked a watching late one night. Having already watched Alien and Poltergeist the same way, The Thing gave my childhood trauma one thing it had been missing: paranoia.

No longer would I run to friends or family if the nightmares got too terrible to deal with — because they’d just laugh at me, split open in a spray of blood teeth and tendrils, and digest me from the inside, working its way out to replicate me.

In a way, this movie holds a special place in my soul. My fascination with special effects is why I have anxiety disorder today. My fault.
