also forgot to post about it yesterday, but i have designated december 2nd as constantine's official catch-up day with his niece gemma!! they don't see each other often since she "quit magic for good" (or is very good at pretending she has) but the holidays are a hard time for them both and it's too awkward to explain every year why you avoid your last living relative, so they've agreed on early december for an annual short dinner and chat. sometimes they call on christmas day, but they never meet up; neither of them wants to do christmas without cheryl.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS.#constantine's holiday timeline is very upsetting to me personally :')#his sister was his sanctuary from the life of magic and loneliness and she was taken away from him #and now not only is every holiday season this massive gap in his life where a brief moment of peace should be #but it's an active and painful reminder of what he's lost. and what he's cost his niece #and i think gemma's still resentful of john's failure to save her but she still loves him. and he still wants to be in her life #so this is their compromise. not acknowledging the anniversary of cheryl's death. not faking it through a holiday #dinner and a chat at the top of the month and a reminder that he's a phone call away whenever she wants him around #and then he fucks off to ireland for the pagan festivities until the new year #cos he only really did christmas for gemma and his sister in the first place lmao he'd rather be around the Magic #( headcanons. ) I'M JUST LIKE THE BASTARDS I'VE HATED ALL ME LIFE.
