#chex appreciation week

day 6 of @chex-appreciation-week: (hate to say) goodbye

sc and unedited photo. sorry it took so longgg but I wanted to do all the prompts. probably won’t be drawing for free day but umm see you when rarepair week starts hopefully I actually can do those on time

[chex-appreciation-week]

Chex week will be happening from October 13th through the 19th!

And with that, we also get the official announcement of the prompts!

There are no limits or rules to how these can be interpreted. You can go as literal or as artsy or silly as you want with them, the skies the limit!

Day 1: Memory

As they always say: memory is the key. Maybe it’s a simple reflection on the past, maybe it’s the fact that they’re the literal manifestations of someone else’s memories, a reflection of a once great love… or perhaps Church just forgot to close the damn cabinet again.

Day 2: Fluff

Our favorite doomed duo is no stranger to angst and tragedy… so let’s give them a break! Let them enjoy some domestic bliss for once, and spend time in each other’s company without the overbearing burden of being doomed by the narrative. Just this once.

Day 3: Family

These two found their own little family inside of a box canyon, consisting of idiots and morons but they are their idiots and morons… or perhaps you want to go further back in time to when there was just Leonard and Allison and a beautiful baby girl and the future seemed so much brighter… or maybe Church and Tex just adopted a cat

Day 4: AU

Now they’re medieval knights fighting to save the kingdom! Or maybe Church is the super grumpy coffee shop barista with a crush on the cool tattoo artist across the street! Or maybe it’s the same story we all know… but that one moment played out differently… the universes are infinite!

Day 5: Cycle

History repeats itself, time is a flat circle, however, you want to put it there’s no denying the cycle of Leonard Church and Agent Texas. A story destined to be repeated again and again until it finally breaks… or perhaps they’re just teaching Caboose how to ride a bicycle, who knows!

Day 6: Goodbye

Don’t say goodbye… I hate goodbyes… but at the end of the day, you have to let go and say those dreaded words. You have to accept that some people are truly gone. Or sometimes you just don’t get to say those words at all… or maybe… well actually I don’t know how to make this one silly

Day 7: Free Day

Make whatever you like! It can be anything and everything, maybe expand on a previous idea, create a whole new world, or make something sad or silly or soft! This is your day to shine!

As said before any and all content is welcome in this event! Art, fanfic, meta, analysis, playlists, memes etc! If it’s Chex I’ll take it! My only rule is NO AI GENERATED CONTENT!

The tags for this event will be #chex appreciation week and #chex appreciation week 2024

Chex Week Day 3 + 4: Family + AU

Here's some quick sketches/wips I made for my Hopi Allison headcanon/au! Baby Carolina is everything to me <3

(sorry if tumblr totally nerfs the quality of these)

image text under cut:

First Image

Hopi Allison + Carolina: pow wow regalia, before deployment, happy family

some white man: stay at home tech dad, here for emotional support, cold

Second Image

Allison: dyes hair with every big change, was blonde the last time Leonard saw her

Carolina: cuts and dyes hair after every defeat, especially if it makes her look less like her father

Some extra stuff: the regalia is styled after my friends regalia and photoshoots, she is Hopi, as well as the regalia my cousins wear

Day 5 - Cycle

I started writing a song about Chex for Chex Appreciation Week and then I accidentally made it about Caboose too lol

When you think about it, he did help perpetuate their cycle by bringing Church back. And I like to think he learned from it.

So this is a song about all three of them, from the beginning to RvB Restoration.

@chex-appreciation-week because of various life problems, I wasn't able to have time to fully participate in Chex week... however, I was inspired by the Family prompt to finally put together this idea I've had for a reunion between Church, Tex, Carolina, and the Fragments that takes place in my larger story-line. I'm glad a lot of other people were able to share their creativity with Chex, it was all awesome to see~

It starts with a low, faint hum. Almost subaudible. The sound rises, with no urgency or implication of stress. Somehow, it is almost nostalgic...

In the dark room, there is a large monitor, and an even larger tank, similar in design to a cryo-chamber, but without a "window" to see inside. Below the monitor is an input keyboard, so somebody can keep track of what is happening, make adjustments, or halt the program as it works. On the keyboard are two ports; one for an AI Unit to be connected, and one meant for a slide with a DNA sample. Below the tank is what appears to be a hospital bed, a plastic bag containing a fresh sheet already opened and unfolded by small robotic arms.

There are no plans to make any adjustments or halt the program today. It has been put off long enough, and it is finally time to just let it happen, whatever the result will be. The AI Unit is in place. So is a slide with the DNA sample.

The hum is still rising, and it is somewhat pleasant to hear in the dark room. Reassuring, in a way. As the program finally begins, there is a series of soft little beeps; on the monitor, tiny dots, pixels of light, appear with each beep. After a pause, there are more beeps, more dots of light. They begin to form a pattern. The beeps come quicker, also forming a pattern of sound.

The DNA sample is being analyzed, not only recognizing the person it originally came from, but tracing back through parents, grandparents... all the traits and physical heritage that had been passed on, but even more, all the POTENTIAL contained in the sample. It will not be duplicated, it will help create something new.

The beeps and the humming almost sound like music, and now there is more than a pattern, but a rhythm. The hum turns into a whirring noise, almost like the tank is excited to begin working. Inside, a liquid fills. Outside, small parts of the machinery rotate smoothly and efficiently.

Within the AI Unit, a little door that has been locked finally opens; it is both a digital door, made of code, and a literal door that had been blocking anything from going in or out. After a long time, something comes out...

He leaves behind the Alpha Unit. Eager to go, but still tentative. Afraid to rush. Happy to leave. Curious what will happen next. Hopeful that it will be good.

He's gone through something similar before... but it was never like this. Not exactly.

When the data Church is made of fully moves from the AI Unit (good-bye, and good-riddance!) and into the computer, he feels the sensation of having more "room". He could create entire virtual worlds within the unit, but it was all still just "him" in there. With all this extra space, he feels himself spreading out... if it was possible to "fall apart" in a gentle way, this was it.

Part of this is the computer analyzing all the files of his memories; Alpha's memories before he forgot who he was, Church's memories when he first started being Church, Epsilon when he had to carry on with what had been left behind, Epsilon when he made new memories for himself, and finally Church again- all of Church, all of his memories.

He's still recognized as the Alpha AI. As far as coding is concerned, that's what he is. WHO he is... that's different.

As the computer sorts through it all, Church can see the memories moving around him (his "life flashing before his eyes" again? Maybe). He sees the early days in Blood Gulch, when it felt like that would just be his life, forever, and even though he HATED it at the time... he always kept going back there, didn't he? When he thought he had "exploded" himself to the past, and the other to the future, he kept trying to go back and fix things (oh, and by the way- thanks for the bullshit, Gary!). When Epsilon was stuck back in his unit, chasing the memory of Tex down several rabbit holes, he recreated Blood Gulch. Over and over.

It wasn't really about the PLACE, though. Blood Gulch itself wasn't what mattered.

It was them. All of them.

Church still has the sense of himself as an AI, but as his memories flow through the computer, being sorted by the program, he begins to feel... different. Yet familiar. The pale blue armor of his avatar falls away, the little pieces fading like they were made of mist. Underneath that is... him. What Alpha had been before he had been told to be anything in particular. When he had been "born", Alpha knew everything within the mind that he came from had known, but he also knew MORE because he could see different connections and concepts, but he also knew LESS because he had never existed before. Thinking and existing were so NEW.

One thing Alpha had realized; the man who created him needed help. He was lonely. Alpha tried to help. Alpha tried to show him that if he just turned around and looked, he would find companionship. Alpha tried to demonstrate, and then Alpha wasn't alone anymore either. Alpha had Beta.

Then Beta was taken away. Then Alpha's memories were taken away. It happened again and again. He was lonely, and couldn't even remember why.

Church remembers now. He looks like he did in the beginning, just for a moment; not a soldier, more human-like, but without defined features... a little like a mechanical doll. The moment passes, and Church... it's strange, this is almost like the times he's "died", but it is almost like when he was "born". Familiar, but entirely new.

Like diving deep into the ocean, but instead of crushing pressure, he only feels lighter.

Church makes a return, like he never has before.

The program continues it's work; the monitor shows completion for bones, muscles, veins, organs, a brain, the heart. It takes hours... on through the night, into the next day, and farther into that evening. People take turns watching, but one person stays dutifully at the keyboard, more interested in watching the process than worried about controlling the outcome.

Eventually, the tank makes a new noise; the liquid inside is draining away. The tank itself slowly shifts to a new position, fans blow gentle air to dry the inside, and the small robotic arms lift up the sheet to welcome the body that slides onto the bed.

The person at the keyboard runs to call the others back into the room. Two people have been waiting together, and now, they are the first to walk over and see who is finally here.

Both are young women, who look like they might be related. Cousins, perhaps. They're tall, and strong. They have the same nose. One woman is slightly taller, broader shoulders, more of an angular chin. She has long, light blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail. The other woman has short, deep-red hair, and very intense green eyes. She looks quick, built for running.

Tex and Carolina glance at each other, and Tex can see that Carolina isn't just nervous... she's concerned, perhaps for reasons she can't even articulate. Tex tries to give her an encouraging smile, and around them, little flickers of light appear. The AI Fragments share these concerns, even if they aren't voiced out-loud. That helps. Carolina looks at them, at Tex, and then nods forward. They're a family... and it's time to go welcome a long-lost family member.

He's not very tall. He looks sort of lean, but not slender, like his limbs and body are supposed to be thicker, but he hasn't had the chance to "grow into himself" yet. This makes sense; he hasn't ever moved a muscle or eaten a bite of food. He has long, dark hair. Black, and very shiny. It flows across the small pillow that props up his head, and touches his shoulders. A squared jaw, a defined lower lip. Broad nose with a soft curve, thick eyebrows. His eyes are still closed... in fact, he doesn't seem to be breathing.

Just before the two people who have come to see him start to worry, the bed makes a small beeping noise; it gives him a light shock, and then they see him take in a long, deep inhale. His chest rises, expands... then he slowly exhales. After that, each breath comes easily. Naturally. As if he had been breathing all his life.

His eyes make a weak attempt to open. The lids flutter, then fall shut, then finally stay up. His eyes- a dark, stormy gray- take a few seconds to focus. He blinks in the dim light, and finally sees he has an audience. For some reason, that's funny to him. He can't laugh, or even smile- he doesn't know HOW, but the feeling of being amused is there.

The muscles around his jaw move, he can feel his mouth open, his lips part... can he talk? He wants to talk. He's SUPPOSED to talk. That's what he always does. What should he say?

"Hello, Church..." Tex says, and he knows that's who she is, so certain and sure, it's like acceptance.

"Hhh... low... Tehsss," damn it, his voice sounds STUPID, his tongue doesn't want to move, and he can see her grinning at him, like it's just the funniest friggin' thing in the world, and maybe it is, and maybe he doesn't mind sounding stupid if she smiles at him like that...

He blinks, and glances to the side. The other woman has been standing back, just a bit, but he sees her now. He knows who she is too, instantly. He's wanted to meet her for a long time.

"Heh-low... Cara-linah..." he managed a little better that time. Pretty soon, he'll be able to deliver speeches, quote Shakespeare and shit.

"Hello, Church," she smiles at him, and the corners of her eyes sparkle, just before tears streak down the sides of her cheeks.

The Fragments come closer, no longer projecting the shapes of their avatars, but simply being small flickers of lights swirling around his head; he looks like he has a flower-crown made of multi-colored dandelion puffs. He hears them all whisper- Hello Church, hello, hello, hello...

[ssahotchnerr]

need me some domestic aaron where maybe reader hasn’t moved in yet with him but he keeps all her favorite food / necessities stocked up for when she comes around 🥹

your favorite

god please i need an aaron cw; mentions of food

friday nights were notorious for movie nights.

it was the perfect way to unwind after a busy work week, and to kick off the weekend. you would find yourself at aaron's apartment, snuggled with him and jack on the couch, surrounded by blankets into the night. jack especially loved the 'no-set bedtime' rule on these particular occasions- you'd never forget the look of shock and joy on his face when aaron first introduced it.

currently, jack had been really into star wars, and so the three of you were slowly yet surely making your way through the saga.

and with movie nights, of course came the snacks.

tonight, you had come from work directly to the apartment, meaning you hadn't stopped at home. and while aaron would offer you some of his clothes to lounge in, it meant you hadn't been able to retrieve your favorite snacks from your pantry. you could've stopped at the store on the way, sure, but you were too eager to see your boys and quickly dismissed the idea.

it was the easiest sacrifice to make if it granted you more time with the pair of them, after all.

"i'll be right back."

about halfway through the movie, you threw back your end of the blanket to allow yourself to get up, tossing it gently overtop jack who had been sandwiched between you and aaron. his muffled laughter followed you as you scrambled off the couch, as well as the sound of droids firing away coming to a stop as aaron paused the movie momentarily.

you had originally been in search of another drink- the popcorn had been generous on the salty side tonight- when you noticed your usual snack of choice laying on the counter. it was a variety bag, the contents containing a combination of pretzels, sun chips, cheetos, chex-mix.

"c'mon, we're waiting." aaron teased as he entered the kitchen soon after you, grabbing a juice box from the fridge for jack.

you turned to face him, evidently about to voice something. and when you hadn't, he arched an eyebrow in question, prompting you to approach the bench.

"you have my favorite snack mix?"

"yes...?" he answered hesitantly, as if it were obvious, but also as if he didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing.

you blinked in surprise, warmth flooding through your body. “you didn't need to do that.” your voice fell on the softer side, an endearing tone.

"of course i did, they're your favorite." aaron answered easily as he approached, giving your cheek a chaste kiss in the process. "it's been in the cabinet for a while. i pulled it out earlier when i noticed you hadn't brought any."

you stared at him in astonishment. "really?"

just when you thought he couldn't get more perfect.

"yeah." aaron nodded his head, a sweet boyish grin painted on his face. his arms securely wrapped around your waist, pulling your front flush to his. "i want you to feel at home here."

you smiled up at him, lifting up on your tiptoes to press your lips to his. “i appreciate it. and you. so much, i don't think you understand."

aaron returned the favor, but prolonged the kiss for a few seconds more. "anything and everything for you."

you couldn't help but kiss him again, as it was all too easy to get lost and melt into him.

the perfect man, truly.

the two of you could've stayed there forever. especially when aaron backed you up against the counter, each of you being completely consumed by the other. but jack's voice echoed from the living room, calling for the two of you to 'hurry up!'

with a small, yet still satisfied sigh, aaron forced himself to pull away, while you pouted slightly at the loss. but to quickly make up for it, he grabbed ahold of your hand. "c'mon, time to go save the galaxy."

What makes a pair rare?

For some this may be obvious with their faves, especially if you feel your the only one making content for a certain pairing. And with this being a relatively more casual event, this event will not be policing what fans think is or isn't rare outside of the big four.

Who are the big four?

The "banned" ships:

☆ grimmons

☆ tuckington

☆ lolix

☆ yorklina

Chex will also be having an event around the same time, so please submit your fan works to their appreciation week instead of here!

Also, there are ships that used to be more popular than they are now, such as churboose and washlina. It's best to use your own judgement and general traffic on tumblr these days to determine whether your works would fit in to this event.

A good way to check is by seeing how many fics a pairing has on AO3 (rare usually being less than 100) and checking the last time a ship tag was posted under on both AO3 and tumblr. If it's been quite some time since content has been posted or if the content is posted by the same one or two people (maybe this person is you), then it's most likely going to be rare enough!

Again this isn't an event that will gatekeep or police your content. This year is meant to be fun and casual! We all love rvb and our ships. This event is simply a space to share with each other!

Airielle jumped and let out a gasp as someone knocked on her driver's side window. 

“Girl, are you okay?” Trinity asked her. “How long have you been down here? Yas is still upstairs waiting for you.” 

Airielle just shrugged, she didn’t know how long she actually sat in the garage. Her mind was all over the place, because she had to be imagining Christopher… right? There was no way in hell he was in Pensacola. What were the actual chances? 

“Airi?” Trinity called out again, unlocking her phone and sending a quick text to Yas who was down in the garage at record breaking speed. 

“Airielle?” Yas called out her name as she got closer to her car. She looked over at Trinity who shrugged. 

“I was going to my car and found her out here.”  Trinity sent a quick text message to her husband telling him that she was staying with Airielle, there was no way she was leaving her best friend after seeing her in this state. 

“Sweetie.. Come-on” Yas said softly as she unbuckled Airielle’s seatbelt and gently pulled her out of the car. “What happened?”

“He-He” Was all Airielle could get out, as Trin and Yas led her back up the elevator to her apartment. Yas sighed, suddenly feeling guilty that she told Airielle to go talk to Josh.  Yas and Trin helped Airielle into her apartment and sat her down on the couch. Trinity went into the kitchen to call Josh and give him a piece of her mind while Yasmine sat on the chair and watched her cousin.

Yasmine had only seen Airielle like this one other time and that was on their vacation to California last summer where they almost ran into Christopher. He didn’t see them but Airielle damn sure saw him and shut down for the rest of the vacation, refusing to leave their hotel room. But there was no way… right? 

Airielle didn’t know how long she had been sitting on the couch, all she knew was that her body no longer felt numb.  “He’s in Pensacola, Yas.” Airielle whispered and Yasmine felt her heart drop into her stomach.  “I went to the pier to clear my mind after going to Josh’s and when I opened my eyes, he was there. Just staring at me.”  Airielle whispered and all Yasmine could do was blink at her, she was trying to form words but her brain had stopped working. “He wasn’t real though, right?” Airielle asked, her eyes pleading with Yasmine to agree.  Yasmine nodded instantly

“He wasn’t real Airi, I promise.” Airielle let out a shaky breath and let herself sink into the couch. 

“He wasn’t real.” Airielle repeated. But no matter how many times she said it, she knew it wasn’t true, and him being in Pensacola was only the beginning.

850-876-5643: Airielle talk 2 me  850-876-5643: Please 850-876-5643: just answer the phone so i can explain.  850-876-5643: stop ignoring me. 

Airielle threw her phone in her bag as she entered The Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Josh had texted her every damn day trying to explain himself and he honestly didn’t need to. He was single and could do whoever he wanted to. He didn’t owe her an explanation but he was hell bent on giving her one. 

Airielle definitely needed those two weeks off, Paul had even granted her an extra week after Airielle lied and said she had a death in the family.. It was wrong but shit, the mere thought of going back outside and probably running into Christopher scared her shitless. She had somehow managed to survive off of whatever she had in her cabinets and pantry which mainly consisted of canned goods and chex mix. 

“Hey.” Airielle jumped - she’s been doing a lot of that lately- “Woah.” Josh said, holding his hands up as he walked closer to her. “ I didn't mean to scare you Rih, You good?”

“You look nice.” He said and she rolled her eyes. 

“Josh, wassup?” 

Josh was taken aback by her standoffish attitude, she had never been like this with him. “You been ignoring me. I wanted to talk about what happened.” Airielle let out a soft grunt and looked around,checking her surroundings,  she had been doing a lot of that lately, too. She let out a quiet hum as she noticed Yara and Zelina standing by the other end of the hallway, looking in her direction. 

“Rih.” Josh called out, cupping her jaw and bringing her attention back to him. “I ain’t mean for that to happen. I was hurt and upset and-” 

“Josh , stop” She cut him off, removing his hand from her face. “You don’t have to explain anything to me. You’re single, you can do whatever you want.” She tried to walk around him but he stepped in her way. 

“Bullshit, you’re upset.” Airielle sighed and closed her eyes. She was on the verge of a breakdown and she needed to get away from Josh ASAP. 

“I’m not upset.” She lied and Josh knew she was lying. But there was nothing he could do about it and it pissed him off. He wanted her to talk to him and to stop keeping shit bottled up inside.  “Can I go now?” 

Josh sucked his teeth and moved out of the way, letting her pass. For some reason he felt as if he had cheated on her and he wanted to fix things, but shit.. She kissed Raymond first. He sucked his teeth again and walked in the opposite direction to start getting ready for his match against Rey Mysterio. 

Airielle held her head up high as she strutted past Yara and Zelina, she had almost walked past them when Yara reached out and grabbed her wrist, stopping her. 

“Hey, um- i’m gonna need you to stay away from my man.” Yara stated, flipping her cheap ass wig over her shoulder. Airielle scoffed and looked around to see who she was talking to. 

“Excuse me.” 

“Don’t play dumb. You know that’s my nigga now. You’re old news, you have no need to be talking to him anymore.” 

“Girl, get the fuck off of me.” Airielle laughed, snatching her arm out of Yara’s grasp. 

 “I'm being so forreal right now. I might be new, but he’s my man and you're getting too comfortable.” Airielle had to giggle at the look of anger on Yara’s face. 

“Maybe you should be having this conversation with ya’ man. He been blowing my phone up for days.” 

“All I'm saying is stay away from my man.” Airielle sighed and rolled her eyes.  oh boy.

“Tell your man to stay away from me.” Airielle winked and shouldered her way past an angry Yara and amused Zelina. 

Airielle : 1  

Yara : 0

Sooo... hope i didn't disappoint w/ this chapter 😭

Yara is a grade A BITCH but Airielle can handle that ass.

I like how Josh's number is no longer saved in her phone neither lol

it went from being Josh to Josh ❤️ to J.Uso and now just a number lmao.

Hey RvB nation how would you feel about a Chex appreciation week?

I’ve seen a bunch of appreciation weeks popping up in the red vs blue fandom and that’s super awesome so I was thinking about hosting a Chex appreciation week cause I love them and haven’t seen one for them. Once I gauge the interest in this It will probably be in a few months (maybe November tho I’m flexible on this) to give people time to prepare. and I’d make a side blog specifically for it and post all the prompts there as soon as I can.

[mathysphere]

I started an etsy shop a couple of weeks ago for my watercolour embroidery patterns. I'm really happy and comfortable with my sewing and patterns, but knew I'd have a bit more difficulty with a couple of other aspects like branding/ marketing/ photos/ etc just because of not having much experience. I've learned loads the last few weeks and I'm really excited to re-take a bunch of photos this weekend with what I've learned. But mainly I wanted to say that doing this has really made me appreciate just how lovely your photos are! I've always loved your patterns- I've sewn a bunch of them myself and have bought a few as gifts for my friends. But just lately I've really noticed how skilled your photos are and how much time and thought you must put into taking them. They’re lovely :)

oh my goodness, thank you so much! And congratulations on opening up a shop! This is the nicest message ever-- I love to try and take cool photos of my cross-stitches, maybe nearly as much as I like to stitch them!

When I was a kid I read a book of anecdotes by a product photographer, and thought he had basically the coolest job ever: once he said he sorted through three whole boxes of cereal (it might've been Chex) for a shoot, picking out only the best pieces to photograph, and then used a bottle of white shoe polish to pour in as 'milk'. I'm not nearly that involved, but I think I'd like to be, someday!

If you're comfortable, I'd love to see some of your pieces! I'm a big fan of watercolor-style patterns, I think it's such a gorgeous style 💛

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

we've been waiting / all year for this night / and the snow is glistening / on the trees outside / and all the stockings / are hung by the fireside / waiting for santa to arrive 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! I hope that your holiday season was filled with a lot of cheer and all the hot cocoa you could ever want. This was my first holiday season in Merrock, and it was everything I could’ve ever wished for and more. As a thank you to those who have helped me make a home here in, I made you all my super, duper secret Chex mix along with some other things.

@narilily @jmiemagvans @stellylee @darpow @brooksienewman @valentinadiaz @bryanxlawrence @xjaylahopkins​

NARI. From one fashionista to another, I really enjoy spending time with you! You’ve got a really great eye for design, so I got you a necklace that was a Singer sewing machine that I picked up last week at the market. I had them engrave your initials and add it to the necklace as something extra special for you. Along with that, I know you lead a busy life so I wanted to get a cute planner for you so you can keep track of all you have to do in the upcoming year! I hope you’ve had a good holiday!

JAMIE. Remember how we talked about personalized M&M’s? I might’ve gotten this while they had a package on them, and I thought it’d be funny to let you have some with your face. Sorry if you found a notification from me on your socials since I was trying to look for a picture of you. I hope you had a really great holiday!

STELLY. To my partner in crime when it comes to corn mazes... I hope that you had a special holiday this year! I found these candle holders at a store in town, and I just knew that I had to get them for you. Once the wax melts, it looks like a pool of blood, so that’s pretty cool! And this magnet made me laugh so hard and I think the only person who could get it would be you, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I wish you a very Merry Christmas!

DARRIUS. In my months here, I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you! From talking about weird foods to exploring the town together to swapping playlists, I think you’ve become one of my good friends. As a gift to you, I wanted to make a CD playlist of songs that I think you’d like to listen to while grading papers or cleaning your apartment. And since you’re a Bears fan, I found this pretty great 90s era sweater from Polished Brass that I thought you’d enjoy. I hope you had a wonderful holiday!

KELLAN. Listen, I think that I can shape you into a ladies man. And to aide in that journey, I found some whiskey infused toothpicks that should help you out if you have anything in your teeth. And I also got you a harvesting bag that you can put many berries in, it has multiple compartments for all your storage needs. And as a bonus gift, I found this shirt that I got at the market that I thought you’d find funny. I hope you had a great holiday!

VALENTINA. I got you some earrings that I thought you’d like. They’re not your typical hoops as I think as an artist, you’d appreciate them! And learning that you’re a Rina stan, I picked up her latest album from the store for you! I hope you had a really great holiday!

BRYAN. To my foodie friend, I think a chef always needs to have more than one apron and a lot of knives, so I picked up this one that I saw at the market. And these knives I saw at a store in town, so I hope you’re able to make many dishes using them! I hope your holiday was amazing!

JAYLA. I know you worked hard this week (and all the other weeks), so I wanted to get you a care packages with all the goodies you could ever want! And I know you also work at the library, so I thought this tote bag would be perfect for you! I hope your holiday was fantastic!

Day 4 - AU

In this AU, Tex lives and joins the Reds and Blues on Chorus. It's not exactly a chex-centric fic, but I really loved writing this scene with Beta Tex and Epsilon.

I'm glad you had a good weekend! I did too! My birthday is next sunday so this week is rushed and exciting. And dudette, my own tag? Thank you!! I really appreciate that.

That's a great list of actors and we got some overlap there with my own. Dylan O'Brien being the biggest one on the list, but also anyone from teen wolf and 911. I saw Holland Roden on an episode of Grey's Anatomy once, completely unexpected, and I flipped out. My poor mom had to listen to me ramble excitedly about it for like 2 hours.

Ok, keeping the train of asks going (this is so much fun!), hmm, what are your plans for the week? If you feel comfortable sharing. ALSO favorite snack food? (so like cake or doritos or anything like that)

thank you friend! i hope you get to do something fun on your birthday! any plans? also, i love dudette <33

dyaln hasn’t made a bad movie! what are some of your favorites of his? haha holland showing up on my screen randomly would make me ramble about her too. she popped up in a lifetime movie recently as the villain and that was so fun to watch her play!

yes, loving the asks! well i’m about to start my vacation after tomorrow so i’m excited to do nothing for a bit tbh 😆 ooh snack foods my most beloved; i’m a big snacker lol. hot cheetos, chex mix (specifically the honey one), pretzels, goldfish (specifically the rainbow kind) , chocolate graham crackers, white cheddar cheez-its, and i’m not big on cake but love me some ice-cream!
