dear santa

lee seokmin + jokingly going up to the santas at the mall and embarrassing the other one wc: 645 warnings: written in a rush to finish the series, seokmin being painfully embarassing author's notes: I'm so sorry I keep posting such mediocre stuff i really don't wish to😭😭 also this should preferably be read before chan's drabble 'wrapping errors'. but I hope you like it <3 winter wonderland masterlist

"i think the store over there has some good gifts," you point towards the store with one hand to seokmin around who you've wrapped your other hand.

seokmin's still in awe over all the christmas decorations done in the mall when you look at him. red sparkling decor hangs from the high roof, glistening when light hits it at particular angles; lights arranged in the figures of reindeers and pandas; arches made of green leaves, with stars dangling at points; santas standing at various places in the mall, talking and playing with the kids that have come to the shopping center.

christmas is in full swing here.

however, you're falling behind because the two of you have spent days procrastinating and postponing buying the gifts for people you're meeting on christmas. like every year, all of you are meeting at seungcheol's place for the big bash he throws regularly, and for you, staying away from your family, they have become a second family to you.

you head over to the shop and look around for a while, contemplating whether to buy the most beautiful things you see there, even though they're basically useless to anyone. you manage to purchase a few presents, and when you're leaving, you notice that seokmin is nowhere to be found.

hands full of bags and gifts, you exit the store, mind wandering just like your eyes trying to spot him in the crowd. couples and families thronged the place, kids walking around with balloons and candies possibly gifted by the santas.

how the hell were you gonna find him?

the thought didn't stay for long when you hear his voice from somewhere, "yn!!"

"minnie?" when you look over though, you instantly wish that you hadn't.

there he stood, a few feet away from you, wearing an exact same white beard like the santa standing near him. the prop looked odd with the rest of his clothes, and his pose suggested that he was clearly losing some marbles. even the santa nearby seemed to ignore the embarassing creature standing near him.

you'd always had the fantasy of him role-playing as santa during sex, especially around xmas, but if this is what it's gonna be, you'd rather take up chastity. seriously.

"yn! wait why are you walking away- YN, c'mere. this is so fun," seokmin calls out to you again, this time louder, and the people nearby follow his gaze to see a shy you, face the colour of a ripe tomato. you could only wish that the ground would swallow you up.

and if all this wasn't enough, your boyfriend decides to laugh in an obnoxious manner, a distinct 'ho ho ho' echoing through the mall even in the chatter of the crowd.

that's when the mall starts playing one of your favourite songs, a song he'd start singing whenever, wherever you were. when you turn around to look at him, you see him already watching you, eyes searching yours for the silent message that comes with the song.

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?

you walk over to him, pressing a quick kiss to his lips before taking his extended hand to pull him away from the crowd. you return the beard to the santa with an awkwardness you're sure he understands as well, and return to seokmin, who's now decided to entertain a few kids who'd thought he was santa indeed, and the sight melts away any urgency you'd felt. it replaces with a warm and cosy feeling that slowly settles in your tummy.

"the kids loved me; i make a pretty good santa, don't i?" he asks when he sees you near him.

"i don't know about santa, but you'd make a pretty good dad. now let's get home quick now, we have to wrap the gifts."

Can You Feel It? It's Burlesque Part 2

This chapter is a bit shorter than the last, but that is because I've been super busy and I wrote too much for one chapter, so I am giving a shorter chapter now for a longer chapter 3. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter <3

Ch 1, Ch 2

Also here on Ao3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eddie made his way up to the door Steve had motioned to and upon entering the back was hit with a wave of perfume and absolute chaos. The back was extremely crowded, dancers were everywhere in all the different mirrors and stations but above all a woman’s voice could be heard.

“Ladies! Let’s move it, ladies!” She yelled.

There was a cacophony of replies along the lines of “Yes ma’am” and a couple “Where is my costume!?” but for the most part, the chatter was hard to decipher although, Eddie managed to pick up a bit since his time working in the noisy bar.

“Does anyone know where Billy is?” someone asks.

Eddie is thoroughly overwhelmed at this moment as he searches for Joyce. He overhears a dancer talking to someone and figures it’s his best bet to find Joyce, follow the dancers.

He hears a dancer complain of losing a contact on the stage and the older woman from earlier speak up.

“Okay, if you fall off the stage remember, leg extended, boobs up” she chuckles.

The younger woman she was seemingly talking to then chimes in,

“Remember you’re a goddess.”

“Thank you, Robin” the dancer replies with a smile before the older lady repeats the phrase in a mocking tone towards this Robin.

Backstage is chaos, but he loves it. It reminds him of the few times his dad allowed his band to play at the bar and there was a certain anticipation that hung in the air right before performing. He bumps into one of the dancers before she calls out to a man loitering backstage.

“Lonnie, the sink upstairs is broken again,” she said.

“I’m not calling a plumber, Barb” He replies.

He then makes his way over to the elegant older woman and Eddie can slightly make out what they are saying.

“Joyce, have you read this letter from the bank?” He asks.

“Lonnie, how many times must I tell you? No business during business hours” She huffs, annoyed.

“Come on, Henry Creel is coming to the show tomorrow night, this isn’t going away Joyce,” he says.

She rolls her eyes at him and is clearly disinterested in continuing the conversation, but he continues anyway.

“You won’t talk to me before shows, you won’t talk to me after, it’s like you are avoiding me.”

“Well, I didn’t divorce you to spend more time with you” She jokes.

“I may not be Mr. Joyce anymore but I still own half this place,” he says before walking away in a huff muttering on about how it’s not paying the bills.

Eddie then approaches Robin who is in the midst of fixing up a dancer’s hair and then asks.

“I’m looking for Joyce?”

She nods her head in the direction the older woman, Joyce, went and he wanders over to her.

“Hi, are you Joyce?” He asks.

“Yes, honey, why are you in my mirror exactly?” She replies kindly.

“Oh sorry, I’m a friend of Steve’s and I’m looking for a job.”

“Where have you danced?”

“Ummm….”

Eddie had for some reason not anticipated this question and was now left floundering.

“At home? I promise you I can move though.”

She gave him a polite smile in the mirror before speaking.

“Give your name and number to Robin and she can contact you when we have our next auditions.”

“When will that be exactly?” he asked.

He never got his answer because Robin approached, and Joyce turned her attention to her.

“Where is Billy?”

“I don’t know, he’s late again,” Robin said

“Oh, I’m never late” Eddie interjected hoping it scored him some brownie points

“That’s great buddy now leave your name and number with your friend Steve downstairs, and we will give you a call, promise,” Robin said with a gentle push towards the stairs

 “I’ve just never seen anything like it, and I would just love...” Eddie began before bumping into yet another dancer, this time in big sunglasses

“Billy, Robin, and I were just talking, and you know she said…” Joyce said and then gestured to Robin to finish the thought

“That it was so sad that Billy couldn’t join us for the opening number, and it would be so great if he joined us for the next one”

“Listen, less flab more ab, my workout took longer than expected” Billy replied to the women

“And so is finding a new job when I fire your late ass” Joyce joked, but Eddie could tell there was a bit of truth to her statement

Billy then turned and acknowledged Eddie for the first time since they bumped into each other

“Hey, bring me a martini extra dry, straight up, three olives,” Billy said with an heir of entitlement

“He doesn’t work here Billy” another dancer replied while Eddie remained speechless, staring at Billy

“Then he isn’t busy,” he said smarmily

Eddie continued staring at Billy for a moment. Billy then seemed to notice and spoke with a cocky grin on his face.

“Didn’t your mama every tell you it isn’t polite to stare”

“You’re just so damn handsome” He replied

“Screw your mama, stare away” Billy exclaimed with a Cheshire grin

“It’s just no one would ever know” Eddie replied

“Know what!" Billy said angrily.

Eddie took note that Billy seemingly had a short fuse and was easy to rile up…perfect.

“That you are smooth like a Ken doll down there,” Eddie said with a wink before descending the stairs back into the busy club.

-

Once he got back down to the bar, Eddie took inventory of everything happening. He needed a job ASAP and it looked like this place needed a proper waiter. He observed the club for a moment and realized that the waitress who was supposed to be getting drinks to patrons was sitting around chatting with someone at the bar. He watched as a customer waved her over and she blatantly ignored them saying something along the lines of “In a minute”. This just wouldn’t do, and a plan began forming in Eddie’s head, if he couldn’t tell them why he deserved a job then he would just show them.

He stripped the leather jacket he was wearing draping it over a chair before picking up a tray from the bar and making his rounds from table to table based on who was in need of drinks. Once he was satisfied with gathering orders he returned to Steve at the bar.

“A shot of Patron and the tough looking guy in the hat wants a Cosmo” he said, Steve looked puzzled but replied

“What are you doing?”

“One night, if I’m not better than boobs-for-brains over there, you don’t have to pay me” Eddie practically begged he needed this job and he needed it bad.

-

Turns out Eddie had done something right and was told he could return the next night to begin proper work on the condition that he wore the proper club uniform. He had easily agreed as the uniform was all black and even if he hated it he would wear it because a job is a job and he needs it. He had been told to arrive 30 minutes early to his shift to be shown where everything was and get a feel for the place but other than that he was left to his own devices since he had waiting experience under his belt.

Once the club had opened and the seats were filled, Eddie began getting drinks for the tables as they waited for the opening number of the night. Eddie had no idea what to expect but was just as excited to see the performances as the attendees. After a while, the lights dimmed and the opening to Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend by Marylin Monroe.

A kiss on the hand May be quite continental But diamonds are a girl's best friend

A kiss may be grand But it won't pay the rental On your humble flat Or help you at the automat

Men grow cold As girls grow old And we all lose our charms in the end

But square-cut or pear-shaped These rocks don't lose their shape Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Back at the bar, Joyce and Robin could be found watching Eddie as he worked.

“Isn’t that the guy that was backstage yesterday?” Joyce asked

“I think so?” Robin replied

“Hey Steve, what’s he doing here?” Joyce called out to him.

Steve’s face flushed a bit red at this, but he replied nonetheless

“He really wanted a job and so…he's our new waiter”

“And when did I make you the head of personnel?” Joyce joked with Steve

“He just picked up a tray and started working,” Steve said with a shrug, face still flushed

“Really?” Robin asked, her eyes bugging slightly out of her head

“Well, his name is Eddie” Steve replied sheepishly.

“Eddie” Joyce repeated before calling out to the man in question

“Hey Eddie”

Eddie waltzed over to the bar nervous as to what Joyce had to say, would she be super upset? Would she fire him on the spot? He couldn’t lose this job, he just got it and based on the look on her face, she meant business. As he got closer, however, her face softened before she spoke

“The uniform looks nice on you but roll up your sleeves you look too formal. Also, put up your hair you got a cute face so don’t hide it”

Eddie flushed and hoped the lighting would hide his blush. He had been told he was hot before by the men he had hooked up with, but he had never been called cute, especially not by a motherly type; it was nice.

“Also, don’t ever go behind my back again” Joyce said more stern

“Yes ma’am” Eddie replied, and he felt like saluting but figured that it would not bode well.

“And don’t ever call me ma’am again” Joyce huffed

“Yes sir, I mean ma’am, I mean…Joyce” Eddie fumbled. Damn, he was doing bad at this.

“Get on the floor” Joyce joked before patting Eddie along.

-

The performance continued and Marilyn sang:

Tiffany's Cartier Black Starr Frost Gorham Talk to me Harry Winston Tell me all about it

As the lead dancer ripped jewels from the other dancers’ bodies. Eddie watched mesmerized, slowly picking up the steps to the dance and dancing along as he went from table to table getting drink orders. He was pulled away from watching when a man’s voice spoke.

“Excuse me, Dewar’s rocks and a bottle of your best champagne for the table…and oh, will you tell Billy that I’m here”

“Any you are…?” Eddie asked, especially since this man clearly had money and no manner when it came to introducing himself.

“A member since ’91, Henry Creel. And you are?” Henry asked

“Eddie” He replied

“Eddie" Henry parroted back

-

Meanwhile, as Eddie waited tables, Robin had made her way backstage to make sure the performance was going alright and that she could help with any malfunctions and costume changes to come. As she watched, she was made aware of a presence once he came crashing up to her.

“I’m here,” Billy said

“You’re late, you’re late for a very important date, Vickie went on for you” Robin chuckled because of course Billy expected the club to wait on him.

Billy then looked between the beaded curtains at Vickie before he spotted Eddie and turned to Robin.

“What is that waiter doing here, I want that bitch out now” Billy exclaimed angrily

“What did he ever do to you?” She asked

“He said I have no dick” he pouted

Robin just laughed before replying

“That can’t be the first time that’s happened”

Billy just gave her an angry look before turning to look up at the lighting guy and saying:

“Get my spot”

“Billy, what are you doing!” Robin exclaimed, trying to stop Billy but it was too late, he had already stepped out onto the stage and to reel him back in would just disrupt the performance.

-

Eddie watched as the dancer from yesterday, Billy, stepped on the stage and began to fight for the spotlight over the original lead dancer.

There may come a time When a lass needs a lawyer But diamonds are a girl's best friend

There may come a time When a hard-boiled employer Thinks you're awful nice But get that ice or else no dice

Of course, Billy was like this. Eddie had encountered people like this before who needed everything to be about them, and Billy seemed just the type to do that. He pushed and shoved his way in front of the other dancer and the poor girl did her best to adapt to the situation.

-

 As the number came to an end Eddie found himself back at the bar watching and imagining himself in the place of the lead dancer.

Diamonds Diamonds I don't mean rhinestones But diamonds are a girl's best Best friend

He would sing and the crowd would go wild, clapping, throwing flowers for him, and overall cheering his name. “Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!”

“Eddie! Eddie, what do you need?” Steve asked, snapping and pulling Eddie away from the daydream he was having

“Dewars rocks and a bottle of Dom” He began

“And keep it coming” Steve finished

“So, he’s a regular” Eddie questioned

“Henry Creel, real estate guy. Dating Billy. This week at least” Steve answered

Good to know that Steve and seemingly the club were not homophobic because that might have become a problem at some point but Eddie was more focused on how the dancers got to soak in the applause and bask in the moment. He turned to Steve

“I wanna be up there, I wanna do that”

“Question is, do you have the talent?” he asked

“I do” Eddie replied

“Are you sure?” Steve asked

“Yes!” Eddie replied with a grin

“Positive?” He asked with a smile of his own

“Yeah!” Eddie said, grin getting bigger

“Good because you’re on” Steve replied with a smile before pushing a tray of drinks towards Eddie.

His smile dropped pretty quickly after picking up the tray of drinks and he huffed an annoyed sigh.

@grapecaseschoices you can’t just leave these in the tags and since I have chronic can’t shut the fuck up disease I’m responding

I’ve never put Ghost in an IF, not technically only because she’s mmmm she’s very tied to her world so to speak like the world she’s in was built around her so they’re very intrinsically tied together. However, like many of my IF MCs, she’s a version of me and I have been using Ghost if I ever need like a codename in IFs so maybe one day I’ll put her in an IF in her proper form

So ic, they don’t have specific meanings, at least not that I’ve come up with. OOC however, the only one really is Kal herself, Kalliope is obviously one of the names of the Muses and Kal is a muse of sorts for Naomi (belonging to @allrelativefiction hi Sam). Once I got her name, that’s when I decided to do the Greek mythology theme for the rest of her siblings

This one isn’t a question but I’m taking it as an opportunity to talk more about Katarina because that’s EXACTLY IT you hit the nail on the head. Katarina’s parents were always out on “merchant trips” (aka doing cult things) so she quite literally only had Dimitri to both take care of and keep her company. They became very entwined as siblings, considering she basically raised him so he’s as much a part of her as her own soul is so while she has a lot of righteous anger for herself, she’s even more furious at Dimitri’s fate and the fact that she is the one who got to live past death and not him

oh so it's like that @mt07131 , very well!

My friend is working on a cyberpunk RP and I plan on bringing Kendis in as a cyborg. It's really just a mashup of twc!Kendis and exile!Kendis [mostly the first one]. Basically Kendis is adopted [though I might change it] by this detective and politician. They already had an older child. But the dadtective brings Kendis home and a while they're family -- then, of course, things go wrong. [hehe]

Two of my Tavs are related: Isyl Shadowhoard and Amryl Shadowhoard. Not by blood though. Amryl's family is the one who took baby durge Isyl in. The Shadowhoards never gave up looking for xem. This would inevitably cause some problems. Of course. (Yes, I know Durge is supposed to murder their caregivers but we'll figure that out)

I have a fanart for my other durge [Kaeliana!] pending and I'm very excited for it.

For my friend's game I'm repurposing three old characters [Kendis. Alana (one of my Infamous ocs), and Andy]. But I am working [struggling lol] on figuring a fourth. His name is Arlo Balducci and is actually the child of an old OC. He is very smart and also very silly. Very big brained but dumb of ass. He's a good egg inside, I feel.

I picture this as Sekryd's style. Sorry not sorry to Gale. He probably can't focus on jack. Sekryd is a rogue and a guild artisan AND a gold dwarf so I feel like a mix of 1940s and late 1800s works for her. But you know with pants.

Check. And. Mate.

your turn ;-D

[acaciapines]

rereading random bits of descendants of olympus (as one does) and. vera <3 still soooo obsessed with how she takes lupa's divinity. like MAN.......there is something to how shes had to scrape and claw her way into every single good thing shes ever had. that she's never just been able to KEEP these things, that she is always always always fighting for them. and so of course she takes divinity. she wants to LIVE. and in this world where the fates themselves are trying to control her, its like--yeah. maybe you do need a gods power to finally get like, at least a year of the life you want. the life you werent supposed to have. forever thinking about vera's one line in her chapter thats like 'of course the fates are losing power. because they'd never let someone like leo into my life.' YELLS. FOREVER.

also have we talked enough about minnie I THINK WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MINNIE--

[vilnan]

also one time i made a blackwall positivity post and was like why does no one appreciate him and someone was like "maybe because he killed all those people you idiot" and then had a c/ullen avatar like piss tf off

Cough cough

Trans Gregory headcanons?

If you're asking if I have any, then yeah! I've got a few<3 No really "serious" headcanons, just mostly stuff I thought up when ranting about him to a friend (hi Azzy<3)

-Cassie met him pre-transition, but it was during his "tomboy" phase. Dressed like a boy, cut his hair to look like a boy, literally changed his name to Gregory to people who didn't know him, didn't mind when people mistook him as a boy or used masc terms/pronouns on him- And when Cassie was like "are you sure you're not trans?" he was like "nah, this is normal tomboy behavior." Cassie never bought it. She sniffed him out the moment she met him and was totally part of the reason he realized he was trans

-He 100% stole his name from a piece of media (most likely Freddys related, like a character from a Freddys show or comic or something)

-Dr. Rabbit respects the trans hustle. When he took over for Gregory at school and realized that his friends still called him by his old name and feminine pronouns, he gaslit the SHIT out of them. "wdym, I've always been a boy" " "tomboy" was just another word for boy, wasn't it?" "I never had pigtails." "Are you guys okay?" "My name never used to be ----, I've always been Gregory". Gaslight Gatekeep Boyboss yknow

-If his hair gets too long he'll panic and grab the sharpest thing he can find and cut it- he's good at doing this without cutting himself, but the first time he did it after moving in with Vanessa she had zero idea what he was doing so that was a bit of a heart attack on her end

-Cassie is also trans in my heart and she gave him all her old clothes. He lost them all after becoming homeless, but he appreciates it even during present day<3

-When Vanessa first started taking care of him, she bought every cheap shirt in the boys isle at Walmart so he could wear something other than his in-game shirt. He appreciates it, but everything she bought him looked absolutely horrible. She bought him a shirt with a printed on tuxedo and he's only ever worn it once (Freddy thinks it's a very nice shirt)

-Plot twist; Dr. Rabbit actually killed the therapists because they misgendered Gregory

-He helped guide Vanessa through her non-binary awakening (he was a terrible guide)

-I think these specific pieces of dialogue me and my friend wrote between Vanessa and Gregory when we were joking around is enough

In short? He's full of transmasc swagger 4ever and ever

[transannabeth]

I need to time travel forward to the clusterfuck of a mess that mutual pining sloopis is

you have no idea the disaster of epic proportions that awaits us on the horizon. it's literally going to be a horror show. anyways here's a hint of discussion about it as a treat

[constellarcreator]

Might leave the one psychonauts discord im in lol

[vgilantee]

I have your notifications on, so watching you flirt with that precious anon is making me feel like I’m intruding on something but I also keep coming to look and see what new things you’ve said to each other. I love it so much, please neither of you ever stop.

you have my notifcations on? 👉👈

he's so sweet, makes me flustered sometimes hehe. such a good boy, has the more dom part of my brain want to take care of him because I just know he looks and sounds so good when he cums

[clown-demon]

((Also want to say-- I know I talked to like.. NO ONE yesterday.. not even Kitten. I just slept all day to cope.. but honestly, the ONLY reason I fought my demons so hard to stay alive and not give into the urge to off myself, is my friends. I love you guys, even if we don't talk much.. I still cherish our friendships... If it weren't for my friends, I would have given in right after I got home from being laid off...

But... I fought really hard... cuz I know the pain it causes when losing someone when they end their lives early.. I didn't want to put any of my friends through that.. so I battled it and tried my best to survive...

[mossy-paws]

It’s 2am but the art urges are strong,,, hrrrrg

anyways I’m gonna be on vacation soon! And by soon I mean in like. A week and a half LMAO

because of this I am going to be speed running art before then :3! So expect some more TMA-PHIGHTING! Au teasers/misc art before I completely crash for vacay /silly

I don’t know when I’m actually going to be finishing the au- and by “finishing” I mean just getting all of the lined designs fully colored and then dedicating some time to fun little misc pieces about the au in between :3c I’m actually considering doing a small little teaser piece for each design but I feel that may be a bit excessive,, I don’t know! Maybe I’ll open requests and let yall give me some ideas for them! Questions/suggestions are definitely encouraged now though since they help me build up on the au a lot more then I would be able to without them so feel free to ask away as much as you lot would like! Plus I just enjoy seeing people enthused about my little ideas :3

Well! I just wanted to say this beforehand since good art pieces are BOUND to be slow with what I got on my plate- I’m defintely making sure to dedicate time to other projects though so I don’t just die while trying to get this finished LOL

[inkykeiji]

i don’t even want to fuCKING TALK ABOUT IT

bnha manga spoilers!

geT THE FUCK OUT OF HERE HE’S SO CUTE AND HE’S SO TINY NEXT TO HIS DADDY AND NATSUO LIKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is touya-nii like this is touya-nii, minus the tattoos over the scars that’s exactly how i see him; his exact height, his fluffy hair!!!!!!!!!!!! little tufts curling up at the base of his skull!!! get the FUCK out of here!!!!!

i genuinely cannot do this my heart can’t handle it i feel like i need to go into hiding for a million years just to process this single panel also what the fuck is going ON in this chapter i’m so confused and like sincerely terrified with how this whole family’s story is going to end?????

i just want dabi to get the ending he, as a character, deserves—meaning i want it to be well-written and impactful and fucking heart wrenching. i don’t want something happy and fluffy and unrealistic and fan-servicey. i want horikoshi to rip my heart from between my ribs with his bare hands, stomp on it with dabi’s big black boots, set fire to it and then eat the ashes. i want to be sobbing; full on chest shuddering ribs rattling voice shattering sobs that hurt so much they leave my throat raw and my entire body trembling. so i hope he can pull it off LMAO we’ll see

i feel like it’s kind of like a catharsis thing??? dabi is my favourite character of all time and he means so fucking much to me and he (+ the todoroki fam in general) brings me so much comfort it’s actually insane. but i would rather his story have a GOOD, absolutely heartbreaking but impactful and meaningful ending than he get some sort of bullshit happy-go-lucky ending that doesn’t at all fit with his story of tragedy and trauma or do it justice. to me, dabi’s story is a cautionary tale; shouto’s story is the story of forgiveness and redemption. but i guess we’ll see what happens~

"Espacio," a voice said, and Ethan turned to see Vera Bates on the ground with a book sitting between her and Leo Valdez. Vera's face was filled with utter concentration as she pointed to another page. Leo learned over. "Estrella," he said. "Estrella," Vera repeated, looking through her pages. "Did we really go to the moon? Someone said it was a hoax." "Those are conspiracy theorists," Leo snorted. "Yes, we really went to the moon." "But the shadows were off!" "Who have you been talking to?!" "Cómo se dice, the government is lying to you?" "I'm not going to teach you Spanish if you're going to use it for evil."

(Descendants of Olympus, Chapter 17)
