still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)
anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#lost in the book with nightmare before christmas#hajimari no halloween#calling dibs on skeleton kisses as the name of my band#man scully is just a delightful little weirdo and i'm enjoying him immensely#(i'm going with scully until we get something official just because it makes me think of x-files)#(スカリー is also how the agent's name is transliterated and i don't know if it was intentional but i love it as a bonus reference)#(i want to believe™)#gosh though#'no one at school likes me because i won't shut up about halloween and jack skellington' i'm feeling VERY attacked right now twst#look scully your people are out there#just get on the forums and -- oh wait you're probably from like the 1800s or something#(my theory is that he's from the past and there's just some Book Magic going on to bring us together)#(LOOK they made a point of saying that the book fair has been held annually for a super long time)#a hot topic goth born before hot topic was invented...so sad 😔#i dunno i could be wrong but that feels like a good working theory for now#if it wasn't for mal sensing twsty ~magic~ on him i would think he's like. a christmas elf who's going to kidnap jack in a reverse-nmbc#(not ruling that out though because it would be amazing)#god all the sprites in this event look AMAZING. loving the desaturated colors and the extra drawn-on lines 😍#i'm genuinely kinda sad that we aren't gonna get to see every character like this#who knows...maybe halloweentown will be imperiled again next year...#come back and destroy my keys again please#(that said i'm doing weirdly well so far?)#(i promised i'd save for sebek and just do cursory pulls to get the SRs and not hope for the SSRs)#(...but then leona jumpscared me four coffins in anyway. halloween magic is REAL)

trying not to get irked by swiftie media illiteracy. I've retired! I'm out of the game!! but some of you are very stupid
#Like naur offense my eye twitches sometimes.#this time it was that post going 'omg how did she go from I'm a mirrorball shining for you to feeling like a pathological ppl pleaser'#like what are u talking about sis. that song is inherently about people pleasing and always has been.#what do u think 'I'll show u every version of urself'/'you are not like the regulars'/'still on that tightrope' meant#and don't get me started on the interpretations of invisible string post-joever#talking abt 'omg she was just making up connections how is a teal shirt related to grass'#LOIKE THAT'S THE POINTTTTTGAHENEJAHENRKSHDBEKXJSB#it's not actually about a fated love it's about being so caught up that you create the mysticism#the magic is there because I BELIEVE it is. the ordinary things are wondrous and fateful bc i CHOOSE to see it that way.#almost as if 'we can leave the Christmas lights up til January' was a song.#that one enrages me I can't lie. swifties are too dense to handle folklore I'm confiscating it u can't play with it anymore.

you are pitting Jesus and Santa Claus against each other. I am acknowledging Santa as both a mythic symbol of Christ and a cultural legend based upon a real man whose faithfulness to Christ was used by God to grant common grace not just to the people of Myra but throughout the entire world. we are not the same.
#I know anti-Santa people who are not smug but the anti-Santa influencers are getting smugger and smugger each year#my generation was not raised to cope with loss of childhood#pro-tip: it comes back when you have your own children#I know because I get a taste of it whenever I visit my friends’ kids#mobile#x#Christmas#Christianity#history#mythology#let kids believe in magic again#you know what believing in magic did for me? trained my heart to recognize the wondrous when I see it#trained me to accept that I don’t and can’t know everything#trained me to live by the faith of adherence when i cannot enjoy the faith of assurance (Matthew Henry)#I was the only person in any of my friend groups who ever believed in Santa#and you know why I didn’t feel betrayed to find out I’d misplaced my belief? because Santa is real.#someone moves even terrible parents to give good gifts to their children on the same holy day every year#someone moves the imagination to ensure that the darkest week of the year will produce the most ethereal lights#someone moves the ancient and forgotten back into our conscious present minds#and if you’re wondering whether I’m talking about Jesus or Santa that’s a GOOD thing!#that’s the whole point!#the Santa mythos *impacts* people all over the world. and that is an act of Providence whether you believe in God or not

I’d been trying to decode this order request all night when Caroline slipped into the sitting room, glanced over her shoulder for a split-second at my phone, and told me to send you to Gus.
…Yeah, I’m not having a very good self esteem day.
#pierre is like one of those adults in kids’ movies about magic or christmas#where he can’t see/read the language of santa or fairies or junimos because He Doesn’t Believe Hard Enough or whatever#caroline meanwhile is Coked Up On Wizard Weed. i am sure she has seen everything and i love her for it.

Ok. Real question. How many people Actually have believed in Santa? Bc I never did, mostly bc my dad never bothered with the entire pretense, so the whole concept is just. Really fucking strange to me
Putting an actual poll bc I feel like I'm losing my mind a bit thinking about how apparently widespread it is. Like. It's just so... weird? Why is this the thing people have popularized? It makes no sense.
#speculation nation#polls#like ok my dad's an atheist raised by jewish parents so xmas has never really been a religious sort of holiday to me#we celebrate it bc it's fun to give gifts and spend time with family#but that's... it.#all the lore and mythos of xmas is just so weird to me#like baby jesus etc etc but now here comes saint nicholas with the steel chair! (breaking into your house to eat your cookies#and leave presents Only for the rich kids! why only the rich ones? uhmmm Dont worry about it!)#genuinely speaking my dad's worked at ups my whole life so growing up he'd say he (and the rest of his coworkers) were the real santas#said as a joke mostly bc theyre the ones Actually delivering the packages#but i took it to heart. told people at school that my dad was the Real santa.#no one believed me lol which i found quite frustrating.#but yeah i have never once in my entire life believed in Santa#and im content with that. it seems like such a stupid thing i will be honest.#'what about the magic of christmas' what about the poor kids who dont get gifts & feel abandoned by this all-powerful man?#in fact why do we Want kids to not think it's their parents giving gifts? they cant thank the right people if we trick them.#it's a convoluted setup that makes absolutely 0 sense to me#trust me christmas had more than enough 'magic' for me as a kid just bc of all the cool lights and all the free gifts#dont need some mythological man who can travel the globe in one night and is a professional in B&E#makes no sense for Real.#there was a time with my ex step siblings where me n my sister were told not to spoil the fun for them#so i had to pretend like santa existed as they opened presents marked from him#and even back then i was just thinking 'this is So Dumb'#this is an anti santa zone i guess. me and myself hate the popularized version of this strange strange belief system.

your classic post-apocalyptic 'child latches on to grumpy man to help complete their mission' except the apocalypse happened in december and the man was a mall santa
#kid is 100% convinced he's magic and that they can still save christmas#guy lets them believe it bc he thinks they'll die before then anyway but now it's like the 23rd and he's like oh fuck#is this off brand? it's horror in my head

I'm glad you're back (ish??) I love your little sketchies so very much! I was wondering if you'd feel up for doing a commission in that style?
I'm curious which sketchy style you're referring to exactly, but that sounds like fun. I did low-level commissions once or twice before (not in a couple of years since it’s difficult to get good quality scans to clients while traveling) but I’d be willing to give it a go again now that I've got a tablet to work with, just to see if it’s possible using that.
Transcription:
[Morgoth:] “So...the giant spider plan didn’t work out so well for you either?”
#gollum#morgoth#the man the myth the legends#three shinies#one shiny#my trash#is this actually funny or am i just tired#i'm sorry professor tolkien#yo somebody talked to me#/end classification tags#with christmas vacation going on i've had a tiny bit more free time which means drawing which means i can FINALLY answer this ask#also y'all this morgoth looks halfway similar to my last drawing of him#i can't believe it#a hint of consistency in design??#what strange magic is THIS

Sorry I'm so fashionably late, y'all. Have a new chapter of this fic! First lines under the cut
“The fireside is blazing bright,
We’re caroling through the night…”
Tuning out the music in the background, Frank turned his attention back to the phone he had pressed against his ear. “So, no better plans than to hassle me on Christmas Day?”
He heard Curtis laugh on the other end. “It’s Christmas Eve, man. Besides, it’s the time of year for keeping up on your family. No better time to make sure you’re still above the ground and have your head on straight.”
“Yeah, well, you can rest easy. I’m still eating and everything— gonna have dinner right after this.”
“Oh yeah? Where are you spending the holiday this year?”
“Good question— give me a second.” Covering the receiver, Frank caught the eye of a passing waitress, a girl who couldn’t be much older than seventeen. “Excuse me, miss— what state is this?”
She gave him a weird look. “How do you not know what state you’re in?”
“I’ve been traveling all day.”
“Huh. Well, you’re in Ohio. Such as it is. Welcome, or whatever.” She waved a hand dramatically, then stalked off to the kitchen again.
#kastle#karen page#frank castle#amy bendix#curtis hoyle#frank castle x karen page#the punisher#christmas fan fic#fun fact i posted this to procrastinate from my current project#but i'm gonna go do it now! i believe in me#writing stories is a kind of magic too

I love cryptids so so so much and always have but I engage with them very differently than I did when I was like 7. Back then I was obsessed with evidence and evaluating the existence of each cryptid individually to decide what I did and didn't believe in. If I didn't believe in them, I still liked the folklore, but I took the ones I did believe in very seriously. Now I love the folklore and reading about encounters but if you ask me if I believe in any of them I just wiggle my fingers and say "wHo's To sAy" in a spooky voice
#so really#generally no#but i am very relaxed with the idea that i dont know everything and the world is a weird place#and there are many cases where its like 'SOMETHING weird was going on'#like the hopkinsville goblins#that incident went on for hours and was witnessed by like 40 people of all ages#and they had no reason to lie because they hated the publicity like immediately#so what was the deal there#ergot poisoning? a weird prank?#it was weird whatever it was#but i digress#it can be fun to make believe for awhile#if you wanna tell yourself that for the length of this podcast I WILL believe in the lake champlain monster#or this christmas season i will believe in santa again#maybe i wouldnt recommend it for everyone but it can be nice#put some magic back in the world and lay your skepticism down for awhile about something harmless#just you know#pull back if it starts entering conspiracy theory territory#we're having fun not trying to reprogram our brains

i love when people who believe the mandela effect is a supernatural phenomenon can't even spell shit correctly, like sure buddy you clearly have a photographic memory and it's this timeline that's wrong or whatever
#these people can't even make up their minds how their made-up sinbad genie movie is spelled#and can you believe the op of the ''mr magorium's magic emporium'' thread could have misremembered a scene from the movie#and don't try telling that other guy who was misquoting a line from ''''earnest'''' saves christmas that maybe his memory just sucks#i try not to hold people's bad spelling against them#but if you're claiming that your memory is so infallible that reality itself must have changed then why can't you remember how to spell 😶
