Ghost helps Riot decorate the Christmas tree at the base.

Fluff. A gift for my friend, @gamergirlbonestaskforce141riot with her OC, Christine “Riot” Vega. (Awesome render here!)

———————————————————————

“It’s too tall.”

“Or, maybe you’re too short.”

Riot shifts her gaze from the Christmas tree to Ghost. He doesn’t regard her back, yet she knows there’s a smile underneath that mask—one of those triumphant, snarky, arrogant, ‘i-got-her-again’ grins.

“Behave, Lieutenant,” she warns. “I’m 1.70, in case you didn’t read my file.”

“Congratulations to the whole 1.70 of you,” he replies and playfully pats her head. “With or without the shoes?”

Riot rolls her eyes and swats his hand away. “Can you just get me the ornament boxes from the warehouse?” She asks.

“You have to be more specific, love,” He says. “The warehouse is a two thousand square meter void filled with cardboard boxes.”

“I don’t have the coordinates, Ghost.” She replies, smirking. “You can ask Gaz whether he planted a GPS tracker in them or, here’s a better idea: how about you search for the boxes labelled as ‘Xmas’?”

Now, he’s the one rolling his eyes. He murmurs a “how unique” and walks to the door to fulfil her request.

While waiting for Ghost to find and retrieve the boxes, Riot tests the new Christmas lights they bought by plugging them into the socket. Once she confirms they work, she starts wrapping them around the tree. Although the task appears to be assigned to just the two of them, it took all five—including the captain who gave the roles—to make it happen.

Gaz chose the tree and bought extra ornaments, then Soap measured its dimensions, ensuring enough lights to cover it. Once aligned, they raked the entire base to decide on the perfect spot. Their prerequisites? It had to be a place where everyone could see it and would do it justice. Unfortunately, they couldn’t agree on a specific location, so they met in the middle and decided to place the tree in the mess hall, the exact same spot it was last year. And the year before it. And the year before it.

Then, it was up to Ghost to carry the tree, and the captain instructed him to help Riot with the “heavy-duty” tasks. Now, all that’s left is for Riot to decorate it.

“I still don’t get why you get to decorate.” Ghost says, placing the boxes on the floor. “Why are we doing chores like measuring and carrying boxes while you get the fun stuff?”

“Because whoever did it last year did a terrible job,” she retorts, emphasising ‘whoever’ and handing Ghost a light strip to continue up to the top. “You guys didn’t even shuffle the decorations. Not to mention that the back was empty.”

“Nobody sees the back,” Ghost argues.

“You don’t?” Riot smirks.

“Nobody sees the back of the tree,” Ghost corrects.

“Well, I do,” she replies, pointing at the top of the tree, “and go a little bit lower over there.”

“Like that?” he asks.

“Like that,” she confirms.

After finishing the light placement, Ghost sits on the sofa. He takes an ornament shaped like a candy cane from one of the boxes and starts playing with it. Riot, on the other hand, gets straight to the job. She opens the boxes and grabs two ornaments. She places one on the tree, removes it and tries the other. She concludes on the latter. She turns around to search the boxes for more ornaments and catches Ghost fiddling with the candy cane.

“You can go if you’re bored,” she says. “I won’t finish anytime soon.”

“That I figured,” he murmurs under his breath, making Riot instinctively place her hands on her waist. He lets a sharp chuckle and shakes his head. “I’m alright here.” He assures her.

But of course, where else would he be alright if not here?

Time passes quickly. Ghost and Riot reminisce about their past Christmases—childhood festivities, memorable Boxing Day gifts, favourite holiday foods, and the annual movies that defined each season. Yet, these beautiful memories end at a certain point unique to each. Maybe those memories have faded away, or perhaps they have purposefully chosen to let them go. And when that happens, when they approach that personal boundary, they stop dwelling on those past celebrations and turn to each other, to the present, to fill them with joy.

Sometimes, Riot shows Ghost different ornaments, and he either picks one or dismisses the options with a casual “whatever” or “there’s no difference.” Other times, Ghost critiques her progress, giving feedback while she decorates. He points out areas needing more attention or playfully suggests she’s gone overboard elsewhere. In return, Riot replies with a firm yet joking, “Go on; you do it then”, and shuts him up.

She lifts one final piece into the air and shows it to Ghost—the Christmas tree topper.

“Seems that I’m too short to reach the top,” she pouts.

“Nonsense,” he whispers and stands up. “It’s the tree that’s too tall.”

He walks towards her, grabs her waist, and lifts her up.

“Now I get why the captain assigned me for the heavy-duty stuff,” he says.

“Drop me, and I’ll stick you up there instead of the topper.” She warns him, chuckling. “Take one more step forward, please.”

Ghost does as told, and Riot places the topper at the top. She adjusts it and lightly taps Ghost’s hand to put her down. They take a few steps back and marvel at the result.

“What do you think?” Riot asks, still looking at the tree.

“Seems alright.” Ghost shrugs. “Should we turn the lights on?”

“No,” Riot replies. “I want all of them to be here when we do it.”

He turns to look at her and nods. She meets his gaze and smiles.

“Thank you for lifting me up.” She says.

“No,” he replies. “Thank you for lifting me up.”

I FORGOT TO SHOW OFF THE AWESOME XMAS 2023 GIFTS I GOT (which technically came exactly in time for my bday a few months back - listen mail is slow ok...we were all worried they were at the bottom of the ocean - so I also consider them bday presents XD What great timing honestly lmao).

@cold-creature once again showing off her fine art skills with an amazing paper collage of Izm! I can't even with some of the fiddlyness of the paper cutouts - apparently she had to invest in some tiny ass tweezers for this omg XDD

The entire thought of these tiny bits of paper flying away with an exhale both makes me groan in sympathy but also laugh loudly LMAO.

@justonepurpose and @enbae not only sent me the CUTEST keychains starring my characs in different clothes (winter and Royal!Au respectively) but also a mouse and phone case (which I asked for since APPARENTLY I can't get them in my own damn country) and a mini shortcut keypad (which was a surprise) :D However they won't let me pay them back for anything 😐 So I'm still trying to decide on the best art thing to do to try and at least repay them for the awesomeness |D

Screenshots: New furnishings in U44!

(inexhaustive because I mostly care about plants, see Futerko's video for full list & where to get.)

New Dawnwood trees will be at Mahei-Jekka in Skingrad; Tree, Giant Dawnwood Growth (U42) on the right for comparison:

The three new Dawnwood trees + new Tree, Small Willow:

Plants:

I'm SO glad to get this one (request fulfilled!) but it is a botanical crime that the Calathea-leaved stalk is categorized as a "fern", I hope it will be fixed! –

The shrub cluster is a wonderful size, I hope we'll see more BIG landscaping pieces like this:

Weird little compositions with the new plants:

Also this stone, but I'm not very excited about it because the Large is pretty small. It will take a lot of slots to do anything with these:

The above are all buyable from Mahei-Jekka in Skingrad.

The below will be furnishing plans. Great if you like furnishing plans and want to make some big sales when they release, since the economy is still trashed.

Not so great if you, like me, are SO FREAKING TIRED of running that kitchen and getting "Formula: Vial, Delicate". IYKYK.

Dawnwood furnishing Wishlist fulfilled! Thank you ZOS! Now we're just missing modular pods & giant mossy boulders ;)

Next up, the new companion achievement furnishings — both AWESOME!

Tanlorin's Empathic Portal Remnant, a pretty vfx item:

Zerith-var's Sky Spirits Reflection Pool:

We sorely needed clear water, so this pool is great!

I'd love to see more big, natural water pieces like ponds. The ones we have are small (Sulfur Pool) and saturated blue (Firesong Spring, Basalt).

To purchase, these only require completing the companions' quests!:

Finally, a few of the Ayleid lights (plans)! (Request fulfilled!)

That's all I can fit in this post!

All these fulfilled furniture wishlist items are making me feel like it's Xmas for Halloween! Or rather, New Life gifts for Witches Festival :D (The Update 44 base-game patch arrives October 28 for PC/Mac and November 13 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles.)

Transformers: Mosaic #567 - "The Gift Of Friendship"

Originally posted on December 23rd, 2010

Story, Art - Simon Reeves Colours - Ibai Canales Letters - Franco Villa

deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005

wada sez: What do you mean, Christmas was a month ago? The Transformers: Mosaic archive train stops for no holiday. On deviantART, Reeves talked about the strip: “was a really rushed mosaic art wise but luckily we had a great (and super fast) colourist to help improve my rushed line art. and of course, franco's lettering skills are awesome considering there was so much text and such small panels. breast feeding flowers are always funny, as is 'angel bee' and finally we now have an answer to the question on all transfans lips- if prime has an energon axe in the cartoon, what energon weapon does cosmos have hiding behind his hand? an energon spade/trowel!! doubt anybody noticed, but ive got sideswipe beating up sunstreakier like he did in last years 'appreciation' xmas mosaic. sludge is a really annoying character to write about. it's awkward to read his narration when he has such a broken speech pattern, but you can't have him speak normally so trying to find a middle ground was challenging. [...] from the time i thought up the story to the final finished product i think took about a week and a half. never again.” He also shared his original idea for a Christmas strip, which he would’ve done if he “had more time”; I’ve mirrored it below, after Villa’s Italian translation of the strip.

festive mercy 'christmas: late night' starscream is in a security room at decepticon hq arguing with megatron. monitors show the decepticon party. various funny images such as laserbeak tied down on a plate like an xmas turkey.

screamer says "you have no right megatron! i deserve to be at the christmas celebration. not stuck on security detail" megatron says "deserve starscream? you deserve to be stamped down into sub-par decorations for your pitiful performance against prime earlier"

'earlier: christmas afternoon' outside in the snow prime is beating the shit out of starscream using a huge christmas tree prime says "you shall not ruin today for the humans starscream. not this day. not christmas day!" screamer says "mercy prime- i beg of you"

'christmas: early evening' decepticon hq party. starscream is obviously scared as the decepticons are running around. the decepticons have their head replaced by optimus heads. thundercracker says "merry xmas starscream" screamer says "eeep!!" screamer thinks 'everywhere i look i see his face'

now we see that the decepticons dont have prime heads- its just starscreams imagination. a decepticon is throwing up as others get drunk. screamer says "er yeah thundercracker. you too." screamer thinks 'my nerves are shot. i dont know how much longer i can bare this' megatron is watching starscream shake with fear megatron thinks 'look at him. the coward. however, when pushed, prime is an intimidating foe. perhaps his temperary fear is somewhat... understandable?' starscream is whispering (keep away keep away) as his fellow cons dance around him (imaginary prime heads on the decep bodies). megatron thinks ' exposing his fear- humiliate him- a truely delicious present for myself.' decepticons are all cheering "merry christmas!!" megatron thinks '... and yet...' megatron says "starscream relieve soundwave in security. the spoils of war are for winners only" screamer says "th- this is intolerable!! " relieved yet afraid to show it. megatron says with a smirk "and one more thing- merry xmas you waste of energon" screamer replies "merry xmas you over sized scraplet"

Yotsuba Tamaki - PTT Xmas RabbitChat [1/5] - Christmas Arrange

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

Tsumugi: Thank you for your work, Tamaki-san!

There’s new work for you!

Tsumugi:

Tamaki: Ooh~ is it a fun thing?

Tsumugi: Yes! It’s a really fun thing!

Tsumugi: An Xmas arrangement of “PARTY TIME TOGETHER” is going to be made!

Tamaki: That’s great!

Tamaki: So it’s XPTT

Tamaki:

Tsumugi: XPTT?

Tsumugi:

Tamaki: It’s Xmas Party Time Together, right?

Tsumugi: I see!

Tsumugi: Ah, but the full word of “Xmas” is “Christmas”…! (1)

Tamaki: Gotcha

Tsumugi:

Tamaki: Me and Rikkun were listening to it a lot lately

Tamaki: He said he’s looking forward to ChriPa

Tsumugi: Because it fits best to play during a party!

Tamaki:

Tsumugi:

Tsumugi: Actually, it’s not just an arrangement, but there’s also a PV!

Tsumugi: The setting is that you were sucked into a world of toys while you were looking at a shopping window.

Tamaki: Huuh

Tamaki: Is that fun? Or scary?

Tsumugi: It’s fun!

Tamaki: Phew

Tamaki: The other day Mikki and Yama-san watched a movie where a toy was hunting

Tamaki: It’s holding a chainsaw and chasing people. It’s really scary

Tamaki:

Tsumugi: W-Well, it really is scary…! ><

Tamaki: Looks like Sou-chan recommended it to them

Tamaki: But why do they have to watch that scary thing in the living room

Tamaki:

Tamaki: They also watched it in pitch black

Tsumugi: I wonder if they wanted to simulate the ambiance of horror…

Tamaki: They don’t have to do that!

Tamaki:

Tsumugi: Please be at ease! The PV will have you and the toys sing, dance, and do fun things together…!

Tsumugi: You’re going to play with the toys on a carousel in your individual scene!

Tsumugi:

Tsumugi:

Tamaki: Really?

Tamaki: I’ll ride on a carousel?

Tsumugi: Yes! They’ll prepare a set of it!

Tsumugi:

Tamaki: Awesome!

Tamaki: It’s like an amusement park!

Tamaki:

Tamaki: What ‘bout roller coaster?

Tsumugi: It’s difficult to have roller coasters, but I’ll inquire for other stuff like trains to emulate a world of toys!

Tamaki: There’s trains too?!

Tamaki: I wanna film nooow!

Tamaki:

Tsumugi: I’m happy you said that!

They’re preparing for it steadily, so please look forward to it!

Tamaki:

Tamaki: Christmas is really great!

Tamaki: There’s a King Pudding fresh cream special too

Tamaki: I also eat a lot of good food during ChriPa

Tamaki: Isn’t that the best?

Tamaki:

Tsumugi:

Tsumugi: I’ve also received an invitation, so I’m going to cook!

Do you have any requests?

Tamaki: Party-ish meat!

Tamaki: That one where the meat is red inside when you cut it thinly

Tsumugi: So it’s roast beef! Leave it to me!

Tsumugi:

Tamaki: Yeah! That one!

Tamaki:

Tamaki: We’re going to play lots of games  too

Tsumugi: You’re going to exchange a gift with someone!

Tamaki: Yeah

Tamaki: I got Iorin

Tamaki: What do you think it is?

Tsumugi: You already bought it…!

Tamaki: You’re spot on

Tamaki:

Tamaki: It’s something that’ll make him happy

Tsumugi: If that’s the case, I might know it!

Tsumugi:

Tsumugi: Is it a mechanical pencil?

Tamaki:

Tsumugi:

Tsumugi: He told me his favorite mechanical pencil broke, so I was thinking if that was it ><

Tamaki: Ugh

Tamaki: I remembered something terrible

Tsumugi: What is it?

Tamaki: We have term-end exams before the ChriPa

Tamaki:

Tamaki:

Tsumugi: It’s certainly that time of the season…!

Tamaki: Why do we have it before Christmas

Tamaki: Can I ask Santa-san to remove term-end exams

Tamaki:

Tsumugi: I’m sure you can pass the exam! I’ll cheer for you!

Tsumugi:

Tamaki:

-

1 - The original dialogue is that Tamaki abbreviated it as “KPTT” which means “Khristmas Party Time Together”. Tsumugi corrected him that the first letter of “Christmas” is “C”.

Thank you Rena for the suggestion!

[ofbeautsandbeasts]

Woooo! @jennyfair7 I received your xmas presents a week ago and several of my Christmas plushies were excited to see what I got! They crowded around to have a good look! 🤩

I opened a few every day like I said I would and I ADORE my presents!!! 🥰 Those mushroom nightlights seem really handy. I'm going to put them in my luggage and take them when I go traveling because hotels don't usually come with nightlights in the bathroom and it would be better than having to turn on the whole bathroom light at night 😆 I'm also curious to try out the Fun Guy fridge deodorizer! I keep a box of baking soda in my fridge currently, but that's not nearly as aesthetically pleasing as a mushroom!! 🍄 (Fun Gus approves of your shroom gifts!)

Meanwhile, my worms obviously approve of your Labyrinth worm pouch! It's so adorable 😍 Your postcards, stickers, and greeting card were pretty and cute! ☺

King Corvid thinks your taste in books is questionable and wants to have a word with you 👀 I think the book is hilarious though 😂

Upon seeing these snacks, my spouse was like, "Wha?? Did she pull these straight outta my childhood?" Apparently, he hasn't had them since the 1990s! I'm eager to try them when I return home from vacation 😋

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the awesome gifts, Jenn! I really appreciate them!! 💖 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! 🎄⛄🎊
