Falling in love with characters

(To breathe life into them)

Sometimes, my favorite characters end up being the ones that I hadn’t planned on writing. By romanticizing them, I view them in a new way, and they become real to me.

Christmas Requests!

I may have done a bit of a disappearing act, but I'm back in time for Christmas! I'm not going to be updating my other stories, mainly because I want to get back into oneshots more, so I'm doing another one of my request lists!

Here's how it all works: I've written out a list of prompts in different catagories, like places, dialogue, tropes, situations and the like. You can combine as many as you want, or if you want something really specific, you can always come up with your own! Just let me know, through comments, direct messages or reblogs, and I'll get around to writing it within a week or two! Preferably, I'd like to be writing Harry Potter fics, but if you've got another fandom request, I'll try my best to do it!

Situation Prompts:

A late night walk to see all of the Christmas lights turns into something more when the two get trapped underneath a small twig of mistletoe, and they finally have to face their feelings.

The taller one of the pair lifts the other up to put the star on the top of the Christmas tree, just like their father used to.

They bake sugar cookies together, although most of the dough manages to get all over them and the kitchen rather than on the baking tray.

One of them teaching the other how to wrap presents (the muggle way, if its Harry Potter!) and laughing sweetly when they manage to mess it up completely.

They both agreed to not get each other anything for Christmas, but they both just can't help themselves and end up getting a 'little' something anyway.

One of them is left to do the decorations while the other is away, and when they return, the house is covered from floor to roof in lights and tinsel.

After their last day of work/school, the two of them curl up in front of the fireplace with a hot chocolate and talk about their childhood Christmasses.

Places:

The Great Hall, all decorated festively

The Gryffindor Common Room, once its been decorated by the students

Grimmauld Place, which hasn't been decorated in centuries, but for the first time, a Christmas tree appears.

The Slytherin Common Room, after a cheerful Slytherin took it upon themselves to break the tradition of not decorating.

The Potions Classroom, where a small Christmas tree appeared in one of the corners, and no one quite knew who put it there (although it was a welcome addition).

Dialogue:

“Your hands wrapped around me sounds like a pretty good present, don’t you think?”

"Its been so long since I've celebrated properly..." "Well, I think its time we changed that!"

"Are you doing anything for Christmas?" "Are you inviting me to spend Christmas with you?" "As if!"

"Wait, we were meant to buy gifts?"

"The jumper wasn't meant to be ugly..."

"You've got a bit of whipped cream right there."

(Under the mistletoe) “You slipped a tongue in there, you fucking—” “Well, you were making weird noises so clearly you enjoyed that.”

Items:

Hot chocolate

Baubles

Snowballs

Santa hat

Christmas jumper

Mittens

Mistletoe

Eggnog

Cookies

Mince pies

Reindeer

Tinsel

Fairy lights

Tropes:

Huddling for warmth

Only one bed

Snowed in

Mistletoe

Drunken confession

Nowhere to go for Christmas

Fake relationship (which becomes real)

You know what to do now! Get those requests in! We've only got a month to go before Christmas, and I'm looking to get out a New Year's requests list by around the 10th December (this one will still be open until boxing day). Deadline for requests, like I said, will be the 26th December, and deadline for me publishing requests will be New Year's Day, so make sure to get them in in time for Christmas. Requests could take up to a week for me to do, so its best to get them in early!

I look forwards to see all of your great ideas!

Krampus - Unveiling the Dark Companion of Christmas Shaina Tranquilino December 28, 2023

During the holiday season, we often find ourselves immersed in the joy and cheer associated with Santa Claus, Rudolph, and all things merry. However, there is one mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of our festive celebrations – Krampus. Originating from European folklore, this legendary creature serves as a dark counterpart to Santa Claus, embodying everything naughty and terrifying. In this blog post, we delve into the origins and cultural significance of Krampus.

Who is Krampus?

Krampus is a horned anthropomorphic figure with roots dating back to pre-Christian Alpine traditions. Known as the "Christmas Devil" or "Anti-Santa," he represents punishment for misbehaving children during the holiday season. Contrasting sharply with Santa's benevolent nature, Krampus embodies fear and discipline.

Historical Origins:

The exact origins of Krampus remain elusive due to its deep connection with ancient pagan rituals and folklore. However, it is widely believed that this mythical beast hails from Central European countries like Austria, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, and Czech Republic. The legend of Krampus gained prominence during the 17th century when Christians began incorporating elements of folklore into their Christmas celebrations.

Appearance and Characteristics:

Depicted as a towering demonic creature with cloven hooves and long horns sprouting from his head, Krampus strikes fear into the hearts of mischievous children. His menacing appearance is complemented by sharp fangs, red eyes, and a long pointed tongue that evokes nightmares. Often portrayed carrying chains or birch branches used for swatting naughty kids, he also carries a basket on his back to transport particularly ill-behaved youngsters to an unknown fate.

Cultural Significance:

Despite his ominous reputation, Krampus plays an important role in European Christmas traditions. On December 5th each year (known as Krampusnacht), people gather to celebrate the Krampuslauf, a parade where participants dress up as the fearsome creature. This event showcases the duality of Christmas, reminding us that good and evil coexist in our lives.

Krampus also serves as a cautionary figure, encouraging children to behave throughout the year. The threat of being captured by Krampus encourages them to be on their best behaviour, ensuring they make it onto Santa's nice list instead.

Modern Popularity:

In recent years, Krampus has gained popularity beyond European borders. His unique blend of fright and fascination has found its way into mainstream media, inspiring movies, books, and even an annual Krampus-themed run in various cities worldwide. Additionally, numerous merchandise items featuring his image have become highly sought-after collectibles during the holiday season.

During the festive season filled with joy and warmth, let us not forget the presence of Krampus lurking in the shadows – a reminder that while Christmas brings happiness and gifts, it also holds lessons in discipline and responsibility. As this legendary figure continues to captivate our imaginations with his dark allure, we must remember that every legend carries profound cultural significance and adds depth to our traditional celebrations. So next time you hear a faint jingle of bells or glimpse a shadowy figure out of the corner of your eye during Christmas time, don't dismiss it too quickly - it might just be Krampus paying a visit!

DOOMED SCROOGE!

You're doomed for all time!

Your future is a horror story

Written by your crimes.

Your chains are forged

By what you say and do.

So have your fun,

For when you're done

A nightmare waits for you.

(fr those lyrics go too hard)

Shoutout to Muppet Christmas Carol for a) being the best Christmas Carol adaptation ever made and b) being the most hardcore Christmas Carol adaptation ever made. If you asked me where I could find the line "Your future is a horror story written by your crimes" I wouldn't say a Christmas movie starring the fucking Muppets but here we are, and I am HERE for it.
