[nebulousgaythoughts]

BOOK OF BILL SPOILERS!!!!!!!!

(I don't remember where I found this photo, if it happens to be yours lmk!)

Alex Hirch really made Ford and Fiddleford as gay as possible without explicitly saying they're gay

Fiddleford:

1. Fiddleford got Ford not one, but TWO gifts. HANDMADE. A snow globe model of the cabin and a pair of six-fingered gloves that he went through FIVE prototypes for. This man is serious about gifts.

2. When he wants to be. Because who did he get the gifts for? The two gifts lovingly and painstakingly designed and handcrafted? Right, Ford. Obviously. Because he cares about Ford. So when he goes back home to visit his wife and kid, he'll get them something too, because they're his family.

3. Wait what

4. Alex what

5. What the fuck do you mean he forgot to get his wife a Christmas present

6. Are you telling me that Fiddleford sees Ford as more of a partner than his literal wife

7. OK, you could argue that he was just preoccupied with the lab/portal stuff, and he wanted to do something really extra nice for Ford, so he completely spaced getting his wife a Christmas gift. OK, sure. It's not inherently gay to be a forgetful husband.

8. But it is gay to write "try to forget" on a torn picture of the day he and Ford became roommates in college, implying that the memory of their relationship is traumatic on par with literally seeing a demon from another dimension. (EDIT: IT IS ALSO GAY TO WRITE "MISS YOU" IN A CODE ON THE WHITEBOARD IN THE PHOTO OF THE FIRST DAY THEY MET. I'm not sure who's supposed to be the one who wrote that, probably fiddleford since he tore the photo, but did he know any of the ciphers? I don't know. It's gay, I don't know.)

9. TRY TO FORGET WHAT, FIDDLEFORD

10. YOUR GAY FEELINGS FOR STANFORD PINES???

Ford:

1. Fellas, is it gay to seek companionship in isolation? When Fiddleford tells Ford he's flying back to visit his wife, this cuts him deeply.

2. Ford says "of course...who could fault him? I sometimes forget there is a world outside my lab."

3. So... the way Ford says this feels like he knows that Fiddleford's marriage isn't working out, for whatever reason. "Who could fault him?" My dude, that's his wife???

(Also side note, but I find it interesting that Ford says "F confessed that he's flying back home to visit Emma-May." Important words: confessed-why did he not want to tell/ leave Ford? Visit-why say Fiddleford is visiting his wife? Why not that he's flying back to be with his wife, or to reconnect?)

4. Again- Ford is reminded that there is "a world outside my lab" i.e. Fiddlefords wife. A world that he's not a part of and cannot fathom.

5. Fiddleford saving Ford from the Krampus and then immedietly hugging. Or, sorry- "EMBRACING." Fellas, is it gay to embrace your homie after a near death experience?

6. Ford immedietly asking if he can cheer Fiddleford up after him mentioning the fight with his wife (you know, the one about him not getting her a Christmas gift even though he clearly cares a lot about gifts). Not even asking like "dude...really?" Just immediete support. Maybe even understanding?

7. Ford calling Fiddleford down to the portal room to surprise him with the lights and decorations. "The smile on his face proved I'd made the right choice." OH, IS THAT RIGHT STANFORD

8. Ford knowing and playing Fiddlefords favorite song???

9. Them getting nog-drunk, building snowmen, and reminiscing about old times??? REMINISCING??? NOT THE REMINISCING!!!

10. "It can be hard sometimes to find a moment to celebrate when you're lost in the cold...but it's easier with new gloves." OH. OK.

That is all.

[macabremadness]

fiddleford mcgucket is so AUUUUGHFHSHSGFJ like he is crazy he is a silly goose. just a guy from tennessee who knows how to build literally anything and wanted to make tech to improve peoples lives first like mf built the first portable laptop and cell phone and got NO credit. he wanted to make robot legs cuz he didn't wanna walk but imagine if he was able to actually make some as mobility aid anyways i think about that a lot

that one time ford suggested to gather the cute little living minerals to help them lead them out the cave tunnels while fiddleford instead just picked them up and banged them together to relight the lantern and they all just scattered and one bit ford. he's so smart <3

weird cows producing weird milk that might be dangerous for human consumption? fidds fuckin drank that shit straight out the bucket. and i think he took it with him the rest of the way cuz he dramatically spit it out upon seeing cso

hes like a chihuahua to me he just stands there and pathetically shakes but then he also gets really feisty and bites. he canonically growls as an old man

how many gifts has fiddleford given ford at this point? like hes given him an axolotl, handmade gloves, a handmade snow globe, a custom laptop, squash with a human face, essentially his life. "hey what is the universe was a hologram" had the trajectory of his life changed forever. LIKE BEFORE BACKUPSMORE HE NEVER EVEN DRANK COFFEE and then ford is just "oh yeah i gave him like 15 cups or something"

AUGH THE GLOVES AND THE SNOW GLOBE..... "gee ford how come you get TWO presents" says emma may with nothing. LIKE HIM AND FORD HAD SUCH A GREAT CHRISTMAS AFTER THE KRAMPUS THING BUT LIKE I FEEL BAD FOR TATE MAN AND YALL ALREADY KNOW MCGUCKET CARES ABOUT HIS SON SO GODDAMN MUCH

(violently cries)

his ass is NOT afraid to use the memory gun on people like hes made people build the portal and the bunker for free and wiped their memories and hasnt been afraid to wipe ford's too like damn man. hes a little too trigger happy. he also made an entire cult because of it and then forgot he made an entire cult

he made the bunker security room. he decided it would be a good idea to crush intruders to death. not to mention all the destructive robots hes made in his crazy old man era. i love him at his best and his worst your honor

we salute 45th president mcgucket, gave out free robot spiders. and he prevented the entire covid pandemic. it's so funny to me cuz he took over northwest manor first and then the white house. i would be fine if the whole world had one ruler and it was mcgucket and you know he would find a way to turn himself into an immortal robot he will NEVER die

he's married to a racoon. has not even questioned his marriage once. that racoon is tate's step mom and i don't even think he questions it at this point either. we salute first lady of the united states raccoon wife

also give it up for parallel fiddleford!! literally from the canon "everything went right" au. portal wouldn't exist without our fidds and the quantum destabilizer wouldn't exist without parallel fidds give it up for all two canon fiddlefords carrying ford 🙏 anyways where's all the au content of that specific universe—

not to mention mcgucket's entire story arc which i really cannot put into words rn in this dumb post because its so AAUUUGH you feel me?

anyways yeah. this post is absolutely not coherent but i just think fiddleford mcgucket is neat and underrated (and as much as i love fiddauthor/fiddleauthor/fordsquared/fordford/banjoportal/etc. i feel like he's getting stuck solely in shipping LET HIM BE HIS OWN GUY PLEASE). also thank you book of bill for existing because it made me remember gravity falls was a thing i was obsessed with as a kid and looking back at everything as an adult is CRAZYYY

okay peace out love you mcgucket stans

~~~ 𐂂 ~~~ 𐂂 ~~~ 𐂂 ~~~ 𐂂 ~~~ 𐂂 ~~~ 𐂂 ~~~ 𐂂 ~~~ 𐂂 ~~~ 𐂂 ~~~ 𐂂

The crisp winter air filled the streets as I stepped outside, my boots crunching against the snow. It was Christmas Eve, and everything around me felt magical—the twinkling lights on every house, the scent of pine trees wafting from nearby Christmas trees, and the soft, gentle snowfall that had begun to blanket the world in white. But what made this day even more special was the fact that I got to spend it with Han.

Han from Stray Kids, my boyfriend, was by my side. He grinned, looking as adorable as ever, wearing a cozy red sweater with a snowman on it, paired with a thick scarf. His bright eyes sparkled in the soft light, and for a moment it felt like the world was just us for a moment.

"You ready for our first Christmas together?" he asked, his voice full of excitement and warmth.

"Definitely," I replied, smiling up at him. "I've been looking forward to this all month."

We’d planned a day full of Christmas activities—everything from making hot cocoa to decorating a small tree we’d picked up earlier, and even a snowball fight, which I wasn’t exactly prepared for. But I couldn’t help it. I was happy to just be with him.

We started the day by walking hand in hand through the Christmas market near the city square. The smell of roasting chestnuts filled the air, and the sight of beautiful handmade ornaments glittered in the stalls. Han pulled me towards a little booth selling tiny snow globes, and I smiled as he picked one up with a twinkle in his eyes.

“I think this one would look cute on our tree,” he said, holding up a snow globe that had a tiny reindeer inside it, surrounded by fake snow.

I laughed. “It’s perfect. I love it.”

After picking out the snow globe, we made our way back home to decorate our little tree. Han insisted on doing the top of the tree, despite how much taller he was than me. His playful attitude made everything feel so much lighter, and I couldn’t help but giggle when he tried to hang the star and it kept tilting to one side.

“I swear, I’m usually better at this,” Han grumbled, but his eyes were shining with amusement.

“You’re doing great,” I teased. “It’s just a little off-center.”

We both burst into laughter, and for a moment, I forgot everything else. It was just him and me, making memories.

Next, we moved to the kitchen to make hot cocoa. Han was surprisingly good at it. He whisked the milk, sugar, and cocoa powder together with an intensity that made me laugh again. We topped the drinks with whipped cream and marshmallows, and when I took a sip, it was the perfect balance of sweet and chocolatey.

“This is amazing,” I said, wrapping my hands around the warm mug. “You should start a hot cocoa business.”

Han chuckled, taking a sip from his own mug. “Maybe I’ll think about it. But I’m pretty sure the music industry comes first.”

The day went on with more fun moments—building a snowman outside (Han’s was way taller than mine), a ridiculous snowball fight that left us both laughing until we couldn’t breathe, and even a quick walk through the park, where the trees were lit up in every color imaginable.

As the evening came to an end, we found ourselves curled up on the couch in front of the fireplace. The Christmas lights on the tree flickered softly, casting a warm glow across the room. Han had already changed into a pair of cozy pajamas, his messy hair falling over his forehead, and I was wrapped up in a blanket, my head resting on his chest.

“You know,” Han murmured, his hand gently playing with my hair, “this has been one of the best days ever.”

I smiled, my heart feeling full. “Me too. I’m really glad we’re doing this together.”

We sat there in silence for a while, just enjoying the peaceful sound of the crackling fire and the soft rhythm of Han’s breathing. The day had been everything I’d hoped for—fun, relaxed, and full of joy. But now, as I felt my eyelids growing heavy, I knew that the best part of all was just being in his arms.

“Hey, Han,” I whispered, glancing up at him. “Do you mind if we just stay like this? I’m so tired.”

He grinned, pulling me closer. “Of course. We can stay like this forever.”

His words made me smile even more, and I melted into his embrace. The warmth of his body, the softness of his touch, and the comfort of his presence made everything feel right.

Before I knew it, I was drifting off to sleep, my head resting on his chest, the sound of his heartbeat lulling me into a peaceful slumber. The world outside was quiet, but in this moment, with Han by my side, everything felt perfect.

It was our first Christmas together, and it will always be one of my most cherished memories.

♡~~~♡~~~♡~~~♡~~~♡~~~♡~~~♡~~~♡~~~♡~~~♡~~~♡

In the heart of the city, where the air buzzed with the festive spirit, Harry and Y/N decided to embark on a delightful adventure to the holiday market. With twinkling lights overhead and the scent of cinnamon wafting through the crisp winter air, they stepped into a world of festive magic.

Hand in hand, they entered the market, their eyes widening at the sight of stalls adorned with colorful decorations and handmade treasures. The joyful chaos of the crowd filled the air, but in the midst of it all, Harry and Y/N found solace in their shared excitement.

Their first stop was at a quaint stall selling knitted scarves in every imaginable color. Y/N couldn't resist running her fingers over the soft textures, imagining cozy winter days wrapped in warmth. Harry, always attentive, picked out a scarf in a shade that perfectly matched her eyes, a surprise he couldn't wait to unveil later.

As they continued to weave through the market, the couple discovered stalls offering an array of quirky ornaments. From miniature snow globes to hand-painted baubles, each piece seemed beautiful and collectible. Y/N's eyes lit up at the sight of a particularly charming ornament – a tiny polar bear wearing a Santa hat. Harry couldn't help but smile, knowing it would find a special place on their Christmas tree.

The market's festive soundtrack was accompanied by the irresistible aroma of holiday treats. Y/N's nose led them to a charming stand selling hot chocolate adorned with marshmallows and a sprinkle of cinnamon. They indulged in the sweet warmth, savoring the comforting flavors that danced on their tongues.

Amidst the crowd, Harry spotted a stall with vintage records, a treasure trove for a music enthusiast like him. The crackling sound of vinyl filled the air as he carefully flipped through the stacks, his eyes lighting up. Y/N watched with admiration as he held the record in his hands, his enthusiasm contagious.

Their pockets filled with festive treats and newfound treasures, the couple found a quiet spot to take in the enchanting atmosphere. The market's ambiance was a blend of laughter, joyful chatter, and the melodies of street performers playing classic holiday tunes.

As the day unfolded, Harry couldn't resist the urge to pick out a special trinket for Y/N. In a hidden corner of the market, he found a stall adorned with delicate handmade jewelry. His eyes fell on a dainty necklace with a pendant shaped like a snowflake – a symbol of the uniqueness and beauty he saw in Y/N. With a smile, he purchased the necklace, envisioning the moment he would gift it to her.

The holiday market adventure wasn't just about shopping; it was a celebration of love, laughter, and the magic of the season. As the day drew to a close, Harry and Y/N found a quiet spot to watch the market come alive with twinkling lights. The ornaments, scarves, and trinkets they had collected told a story of a day filled with shared joy and the simple pleasures of being together during the most magical time of the year.

[teenage-mutant-ninja-freak]

Heyo! Love your work btw *chef kiss* I'm obsessed with your poly turtles stuff. Could you maybe do some Christmas poly headcannons? Seasonal Activities they do with their s/o, possible gifts they receive, fav cookies/treats, fav Xmas music. Idk just some festive stuff? If you're busy that's cool 😎 your poly turt stuff has me needing more haha. Thanks!

Ok, I'm pretty sure I got this before Christmas and it's now May. I'm so sorry. I won't go into all the reasons I haven't really been writing because it's a lot but I want to get back into it so here goes with this very unseasonal post lmao

and thank you everyone for you patience as I get back into the swong of writing for my blog

Raph

This big hunk of red and green first

He's very seasonal if you think about it

He's also super (secretly) into the holidays

catch him doing his rendition of rockin' around the Christmas tree very loudly when he's off his tits on eggnog

((side note I think he would hate eggnog but would drink it solely because it's festive))

He's secretly super sentimental and he knows you love this time of year so he really puts his back into it

I'm talking it's the 1st of December and he wakes you up in a full Santa outfit and white beard (that he knitted himself) yelling "Ho Ho Ho!" and asking if you've been naughty or nice

it's like 6am so you, naturally, tell him to piss off

to which he makes a big show of trying to shove you into his Santa sack because "Someone needs a trip to the North Pole to learn the Christmas spirit"

He's also pretty good with crafts

obvs you guys can't go outside and be seen so he creates a whole winter wonderland in the lair (without telling the others, Mikey was the only one who appreciated it tbh)

also he's a great cook so you spend evening after evening baking sugar cookies and decorating them, sipping hot chocolate with a candy cane in it and whipped cream on top, making warming winter soups.

In terms of gifts, he gets you anything and everything he even thinks you might like

real big spender this one

handmade too items like a scarf he knitted for you because your old one was a bit worn, handmade card, he even did a little snow globe that he made with figures of you and him inside of it

he'll say "I know it's lame" or "It's not the best but I tried" but it means the world to you

Leo

Big boy blue up next

I see him loving a very traditional, old fashioned, classic Xmas.

His big thing is that he loves to decorate the tree with you

but you would always bicker about how it should look

"No, I think a gold and red theme would look better!"

"But, Leo, we have all of these cute glass candy canes I wanna hang!"

"But I have a vision!!"

so this year he decides to buy like 6 trees (and by buy I mean forage, steal or cut down)

so you can both have your own trees and decorate them however you want

this, obviously, becomes a Christmas competition

your very unwilling judges are Leo's brothers and even Splinter

they have never looked more uncomfortable than when you and Leo are very passionately stating your case for why your tree is better than the other's and it ends in you both throwing baubles at each other

about half an hour and a lot of tinsel lying everywhere later you decide that maybe you're both a little too competitive

but Leo reassures that "That's why I love you"

He's so big on quality time with you

lot's of sitting by a crackling fire, sipping coco and letting soft Christmas songs play

he's made a playlist of v gentle ones like Eartha Kitt's Santa baby, Conventry carol and god rest ye merry gentlemen.

it's all about the mood w/ Leo

as far as gifts, it's has to be something personal and sweet

a pressed flower in resin from the first day you both met, a silver heart shaped locket with a pic of you both in it, some sort of talisman that's supposed to keep you safe in ninja superstition

Mikey

Time for chaotic good to come to play

Mikey just manages to capture that almost childlike enthusiasm and wonder for the season

He has a funny habit of wrapping your gifts to look like something else

last year you were certain he'd gotten you a rocking horse but it turned out to be a new phone and headphones

"How long did it take you to wrap it like that?"

"Don't ask questions you don't wanna know.....3 hours to make the horse part look right"

normally he gets you silly but sweet gifts

lots of sticking filler things

oh and he gets you an actual stocking too, but like a comically oversized one to fit all the gifts

stuff he's made too

one year he made you 50 hand cut paper snowflakes with 50 reasons he loves you written and drawn on them

also stuff you guys can do together

video games he knows you'll find fun, stupid interactive games that you can play, that kinda stuff

he does a special Xmas scavenger hunt for you each year that the others pretend is stupid but it keeps getting more elaborate as time goes on and even they are started to get invested in the ending

there's a theme and everything ranging from polar express to murder at the Christmas party to Santa's grotto....

he also never fails to dress up as Mrs Clause every year (because Raph insists on being Santa and at first Mikey just wanted everyone to laugh, but now it's kinda a tradition)

Donnie

oh my sweet gadget boy

he's super big into cocktails, the sweeter the better

and you always get to name them together but you both have a warped sense of humour so the names are getting out of hand

you pick a fave each year as well

last year was "The abominable snowman's frozen left nut" and the year before was "Mrs Clause putting glass shavings in Santa's food because he came back with the clap"

I told you they were bizarre....

his gifts are always thoughtful and so romantic

I HC Donnie as being a super romantic guy

whether it be a painting he made of the constellations and planets in correct placement on the night the two of you first kissed

or a wreath of dried flowers and plants to hang on the door that came from the field behind your childhood house

but this year it's a scrapbook filled to the brim with every detail of the two of you, all dated and with a little annotation telling a story as to why it's in there. photos, cards, handwritten letters, magazine cut outs, diary entries.... it's all in there and it's enough to make you cry.

He also sneaks you out on Christmas eve every year without the others knowing (they'd flip if they came to know that he was stealing you away at that time)

but he takes you up to the rooftops to sit on blankets and drink hot chocolate (spiked with a little rum, it's Donnie after all...) and look at the lights and snowflakes and people bustling home to their families and you sit and feel at peace and laugh as you make up backstories to each individual you see scurrying home

you lean against his shoulder and every year that he does this it feels more magical than the last

Story

Character Details The mysterious girl who calls herself YUI has a lively, cheerful, and enthusiastic personality, but it always feels like she's a little too enthusiastic.

Personal Data 1 When first entering the Marutoku Virtual World, I met a girl who wanted to buy land. She wanted to purchase mine from me without any explanation, but she didn't seem to have thought about why she was buying it... After I asked, we decided to share the land as farmland to work together on, but I don't seem to be very good at farming...

Personal Data 2 YUI seems to be very enthusiastic about farming... After consulting with her, we decided to grow potatoes together, and she gave me the nickname "Baron". We went to a nearby street to buy seeds and fertilizer, and a man unexpectedly approached me. He seemed to want to warn me that YUI is a bit strange, but is that really the case?

Personal Data 3 As YUI and and I farm together more, I'm also getting more opportunities to learn about her. YUI shared a lot of things about her past with me, and we gradually became closer friends.

Personal Data 4 The potatoes gradually sprouted, and YUI and I began to imagine ways to cook potatoes in the future. YUI mentioned that she has a "friend" who always wants to eat fries and burgers, and hopes that I can meet with her and have fries together... but is she really just a friend...?

Personal Data 5 I met YUI's "friend" at a burger restaurant in Shibuya. Unexpectedly, the person I was meeting was an adult woman named Musubi Matsukata... She was clearly surprised that I was only a high school student, but we still ate a burger and fries together. While we ate, she shared a lot of her life story with me, and hoped that I could continue to be friends with YUI.

Personal Data 6 In the virtual world, YUI is working harder to help the potatoes grow, but there seemed to be a problem, and the plants grew sickly. After diligently investigating with YUI, we discovered that they're being eaten by animals... YUI blamed herself for the oversight, and logged off in despair... When will she come online again? When?

Personal Data 7 While waiting for YUI, I tried to drive the pests away and restore the vitality of the potatoes. Soon after, YUI returned to the game and was very happy to see the plants recover. My efforts were not in vain. Like the potatoes, YUI seems to have regained her motivation to farm. She thanked me profusely, and made a promise that we'll overcome difficulties together in the future.

Personal Data 8 YUI learned her lesson from the potato incident, and now started planting watermelons with a more positive attitude. Having regained her spirit, she hoped that I could help Musubi as well, and arranged plans for me to meet with Musubi again soon. But... Is Musubi Matsukata really just YUI's friend?

Personal Data 9 When I met with Musubi again, she seemed to be a lot more cheerful, and talked to me about many things in her work and life. Though she ran into a lot of troubles, she's survived them now. I went with her to the flower shop, and she bought a basil plant. The basil faced the sun, as Musubi hoped her own life would grow towards the sun from now on.

Personal Data 10 Back in the game, YUI became more active. She's begun to try to expand the scope of our land in the virtual world, wanting to have more and more. She told me that Musubi's life is gradually getting on the right track. She lives an active life, and seems to have found her goals in both the real and virtual worlds. She invited me to continue farming with her, and as a partner, I'll definitely continue to work with her.

Voice Lines

Japanese VA: Chika Anzai | Chinese VA: YiWen Chen

(As I can only add up to ten audio files per post, I’ll only include the Japanese lines below! Feel free to ask for the Chinese ones, though.)

I'm YUI! If there's anything you don't understand about the virtual world, please ask me!

Would you like me to introduce myself? I am me! Hearing isn't as good as seeing, so please watch and understand for yourself!

Plant a huge field, grow lots of delicious food, and then eat until I'm stuffed!

You're an incredible man, Baron! When I'm with you, I tell you all kinds of things about myself.

The things necessary for farming are endurance and love! Work hard and sweat, and fertilize with plenty of love, so that crops can grow strong!

Not too long ago, this place was bustling with people, but lately it's been a bit deserted. Fortunately, I have the Baron and our field, so I'm not lonely!

Speaking of my friend Musubi, the kanji for her name can also be read as "Yui"! Hahaha, our names are the same, I'm so happy!

Little Bear sits on toy plane and flies on the world globe. Embroidery Project idea based on Little Bear’s travel adventure and the destination of last weekend’s short trip. I done half of the embroidery in the plane (I completed ‘aeroplane’ in the aeroplane), and final completion when I am back home. This is the first time, I brought my embroidery along while travelling and did it in the plane. It was a memorable experience.

Thank you my colleagues who contributed for the photo and video with the elephant, and ideas for my embroidery background design.

Opal is a precious stone known for its luster and iridescent colors. In Mexico, it is found the most importante deposits of the world.

Opal in quarry was discovered in the 1960s by local miners who were searching for construction materials. However, it wasn’t until the 1980s that it began to be extracted and commercialized as a precious stone.

The extraction of opal in quarry is done using traditional methods, such as manual excavation and basic tools. Once extracted, it undergoes a cutting and polishing process to enhance its luster and colors.

Weekend With The Grays Day 5 Prompt - Archery

Evening all! This is another addition of mine for @endlessly-cursed's fun Weekend With The Grays event for Hogwarts Legacy, who I thank for hosting it. Prim is her OC, while Malcolm who is mentioned here, is @gaygryffindorgal's OC. Bella belongs to @mjs-oc-corner.

Little Danny growing up in West Virginia pretended he was Robin Hood while playing in the woods with his brother. The only thing he wished he had then was a bow and some arrows. It was perhaps for the best then given his age. They weren’t toys, and the risk of them getting hurt with them wasn’t worth it. Such times were well gone eventually. As teenagers they matured and learned how to channel and control their magical strength. It paralleled their growth as people.

The dreams Danny had as a little boy came true when he was an older kid studying at Hogwarts. He got to learn the art of the bow and arrow in his time at Winbourne. The good eye he had for croquet also made its presence on the range. His shot was sharp and he ended up in close competition with others in the sport. Danny also practiced on his own during his stays. He enjoyed the feeling of lining up the arrow and letting it fly.

A bow was a simple but versatile device with much of a place in place as it was in war. Armies all over favored the weapon until gunpowder and firearms became advanced and affordable to the masses. Yet as a weapon originating from primitive times, the bow remained a common sight in various places around the globe. Within the magical world, the bow kept its place in groups such as the centaurs and the sport of archery.

This year’s Christmas holiday at the estate, Danny would get to shoot some arrows once again. Lady Prim and Lord Malcolm were setting up a range of bullseye targets for their guests. Bird hunting was also a pastime at estates far and wide, but considerations for her condition encouraged a time-honored classic from millennia. People were to be firing a single quiver of arrows in volley. One quiver per each round. The extent of each shooter’s skill and practice would be visible by the end of the contest.

Danny and Bella chatted for a little before the range was ready. 

“I've been really looking forward to this, Bella.”

“How so? Is it because of those Robin Hood you had when you were as small as a baby mooncalf?” she asked in a lighthearted tone.

“What?” he quipped as he giggled “I've gotten leagues above that. I just love shooting a bow now.”

“I know you like to be humble somewhat, but you can speak your mind to me. My ears’ open. I ain't gonna judge my Danny on that.”

“Neither you don’t need to worry about any of that from me.” he said in response.

Bella was satisfied. “Great answer, my love. So, what's one of those memories you were thinking about.”

Danny looked up before he spoke. “I even had a hat like what Robin Hood wore in the old story books. Sadly, it was windy that day and, well the wind swept it off my head.”

Curiosity peaked, Bella raised her eyebrows. “Did you ever get your hat back?”

“No. The hat disappeared into the trees. I went with my brother to look for it but he told me to let it go and led me back out.”

“Aww, that must've been terrible when you were younger.”

“It was. The hat I think was handmade too. I stopped playing as if I was Robin Hood for a little while after that.”

Bella thought of something. “Well now, Danny, about that. Perhaps we can make new memories. It's easy to think so, but I feel it's more worthwhile to leave the past where it is and follow new opportunities.”

“So we're on the same hill.” A horn went off just as he finished.

“I think they're ready now. Can't wait to see what you can do with a bow and bundle of arrows.” Bella told her love with some excitement as they left for the range.”

-

The last round of the archery contest was nearing it's end. Danny was on his last shot. He readied the arrow and pulled back the arrow. “Last one better land it too.” he muttered before he took a deep breath, aimed, and let it fly.

It jumped off the string as it rebounded and pierced the winter air at high momentum before disappearing among the cluster of arrows in the target. Everyone went to inspect their targets after the round concluded. Bella joined Danny at his target. 

“You seem to have it on point, they're all around the bullseye. And wait… you got one right in the center.”

“Oh? That must've been my last arrow. Getting a total bullseye only seemed like a dream. I never thought much of it, I mean.”

Bella approached and complimented Danny as she kissed him on the cheek. “That was amazing still, and deserves some recognition.”

“Thanks so much, dear.”

Prim then walked up to see how well he did as she was inspecting the results of each of the guests.

“Congratulations on making it right in the middle, Danny. That doesn't happen a lot.” she praised.

“It's much appreciated, my lady.” I may have a lot of practice but there was still luck in there too.”

“You can still take some pride in it. You're still a good shot, no matter what. Luck alone couldn't pull that off.” she told him.

“In another way of speaking, you're right on the mark like your childhood hero, Robin Hood. Need proof? We have right it here. You can hang your hat on it.” she laughed. They all happily agreed.

Raf and Sam with the random emojis 🎲🐈🚃

They chose to get overseas when their career ended for two reasons: the pressure and the change of scene. Playing for a team like Montréal is a lot of pressure on your shoulders. And although they were close to their families by staying in the province, they already were planning to go somewhere else for the rest of their career, knowing that the League wasn’t really for them anymore.

To make a clear decision, a dice was made. Since Raf adores playing board games so much, it was an easy way to settle the perfect destination. They had a few in mind. Mostly in Europe but they looked for a league in Asia as well. That was unexpected for both of them but it was also necessary. They rolled the handmade dice and it stopped on Japan, of all the countries.

It’s literally at the other end of the globe. It’s enough to be completely forgotten about. That’s what they were looking for.

Sam receives a text from Raf as he is coming back from the little market with some flowers and some fish for today’s dinner. If there is a place in the world that is finally able to balance the needs of his stomach: it’s Japan, and especially Osaka where there is literally a whole street of food waiting for him everyday as he comes back from a game or a practice.

From Raf: Will be there in a few, we had an overtime.

Sam smiles.

To Raf: Then, wait for me, I’m going to join you if you’re not too far!

His team is not really far away from where he is. He can walk a few more blocks just to run into him in time.

From Raf: Still in the locker room, if you’re so keen to it.

To Raf: Will wait for you outside then.

Sam takes some steps back before heading to the facility where Raf plays. It has been so easy for them here. It’s incredible how it’s not difficult to navigate. His Japanese is not on point but he has the basics. Raf is better than him for this.

He walks until he arrives and it coincides with Raf getting out and some of his teammates waving at him while they get out. “Good game?”

“We won but I’m tired.” Raf laughs.

Sam takes his stick, letting Raf with the bags because he has his other hands full. “We’ll be home in a few.” He reassures him.

“Can’t wait to sit down and relax, I’m not going to lie to you.”

They head for the bus along the other Japanese who look just as exhausted as Raf who nearly falls asleep on his shoulders during the trip back. They get off and the same cat from their next-door neighbors is waiting for them outside. They go upstairs. Sam unlocks the door. He puts Raf’s bag close to it. He let his partner going in first.

“You can go take a nap while I make us dinner.” Sam passes a hand in his hair, lovingly.

Raf’s eyes are tired and he’s blinking back to him. He goes to kiss him lazily before he heads for the couch. Sam goes behind the kitchen counter. He replaces the flowers for the fresh ones he brought earlier from the market. He goes to check on Raf who is already napping on the couch. Sam smiles. He reaches for the blanket to put over him.

He then heads to his quarters to make them a good dinner for them to enjoy after this. And that’s when he thinks that he wouldn’t have it any other way.
