Hello! Your Poang Pals Secret Santa here :D Just wondering, have you done the questionnaire? You seem to have mentioned it in a message in the channel but I can't find a link or anything to your answers! Otherwise, do you have any favourite headcanons about Mulder or Scully I could potentially include? Hope you're having a good week 🥰

OMG I SO SORRY. Tumblr didn't let me know that I had a message until I actually went into tumblr itself T.T

Also, not I only actually did the questionaire, but I try to be somewhat detailed in my initial submission, and when I didn't see a message I assumed you didn't want it T.T

Anyway because I wanna overshare anyway here is the questionaire!:

Starting broad, tell your Santa about your relationship to The X-Files. This could be how you got into The X-Files in the first place, what the show means to you, or just general information you think might be relevant for your Santa to know: I did see txf a few times growing up, but as it wasn't really the typical genre for me, I didn't reeeeally get into it until about a year and a half-ish ago. My mom got into a binge of it, and I would see random episodes when I so happened to be around. Even though I only saw extremely random episodes, I got really into it. As I can't seem to just say I'm into something like a normal person, the idea of "wouldn't it be funny if we cosplayed as mulder and scully at conventions and pretend we are investigating?" was pitched to my sister (as we are both vendors at conventions) was born, and I watched the episodes for "research". Meanwhile, I felt postiviely spoiled as there was so. much. fanworks. and active fans. The last few fandoms I partook in were really small. I got THE" one bed fic" say, while in txf there is like 2000 of them. It felt like christmas every day here. Also people act like the show is still active. There is a spark of excitement I haven't felt in fandom in a long time

Tell your Santa about your favorites! Favorite characters, favorite moments, favorite episodes, favorite seasons, favorite ships, etc. Hmmm, I DO love me more of the comedic episodes. Like bad blood, small potatoes etc. I feel like I don't really have a favourite season really. They all have their good episodes and something to love from the ones I saw. Obviously my fav ship is msr, but I do sometimes like to see one of them momentarily jealous. Just…. nothing to get in the way of holy, holy msr

Tell your Santa about your LEAST favorites! We all love our show, but it also sucks sometimes. Which parts suck the most for you? Mind you, I haven't actually SEEN seasons 8 onwards, so I would avoid those for me. I am not a fan of the emily arc, or anything else that focuses too much on scully's infertility. The fact it happened is fine enough, but when it starts to be and entire thing is ehhhh…. Also the later myth ark episodes sometimes doesn't do it for me. One that really sticks out to me is "closure" and how they dealt with Samantha's abduction. I mean, c'mon CC

Tell your Santa your favorite tropes and genres! Only one bed? Friends to lovers? 5+1? Fluff, angst, hurt/comfort? You get the idea. I LOVE sick fics, under cover stuff (dating, married couple etc.), awkward situations (like getting locked in a closet etc.), one bed, one or both of them getting drunk/high etc. I do enjoy my angst but I something have to be in the right mood for some muldertorture.

Tell your Santa about tropes you tend to avoid. I really don't tend to do AU's. The AU's of "what if x did y" AU's are ok, but I'm not a fan of high school AU's etc. I also tend to avoid crossovers (though ironically I enjoyed playing kingdom hearts lmao)

For your Santa, but also just for fun, describe your ideal X-Files episode. Is it mythology? MotW? A literal porno? Speaking of pornography, tell your Santa what your spice preference: I think MotW or literal porno. My spice rating would probably be Habanero. In theory, Ghost Pepper, but there is some kinks that I reeeeeaaallly don't like I do tend to like a good MotW (even though CC manages to screw them up sometimes). The mythark tend to be so plot packed that they don't allow Mulder and Scully to breathe. I don't need to find out about the mass government conspiricy and 10/10 action sometimes. Rather, sometimes I'd rather them attempt to go to some stupid conference, but Scully gets exasperated about him getting distracted by a thrift store and thinks a butter tray is related to an x file from 20 years ago, y'know?

Those are the most important things, but I want there to be ten questions because it’ll look better, so tell your Santa what ONE song you would pick to describe MSR. (Or if you’re not into MSR, pick a song for your favorite ship, or for TXF as a whole.) Simply simple- Mother mother- for some angst.

Almost there. Pick your favorite TXF quote. "We're exhuming… your potato" Aaaaand, ten. And the last question can be open ended: Is there anything else you think is important for your Santa to know? Put it here!

I'm sorry I'm late at everything omg

To directly answer your question of: Otherwise, do you have any favourite headcanons about Mulder or Scully I could potentially include?: Scully loving to steal his clothing, Mulder being a cat person, but also felt silly that he was kinda jealous of Queequeg, Mulder being bad at cooking, mulder being a good dancer because of his upbringing, Mulder also being very good at eating out (this might as well be facts). Scully having a crush on Mulder pretty much right away. That they sometimes, especially after the first couple of seasons, there is some off screen cuddling after some serious cases and that is the way they deal with their trauma. They never talk about it, or the trauma, becuase you know, its them

Aww well I’m glad you had fun!! That’s super cool, I’ve always wanted to learn another instrument but my brain could barely function with a violin so I don’t think I’d survive learning a new one 😅

Yes making Christmas cookies is the best especially getting to give them out!! My youngest sister and I put on a movie and bake while the rest of our family goes out. Is there a specific cookie you make each year or do you change it?

Ooh and decorations are the best too! I love when people go all out and you can just like feel happiness radiating off of their homes. Do you like the actual decorating part as well or are you a ‘I’ll enjoy it when it’s done’ type of person? Or do you go with a theme or is it just a collection of things throughout the years?

Also I do really hope you get to enjoy the rest of the holiday season and all the ones to come even as it gets busier for you. I hope you make the most of it with all your loved ones🥰❤️

Question of the day: not Christmas related, but I mayhaps have been binge reading through your masterlist 😅 and was wondering if there’s a specific trope or genre you like best? Or a favorite type of story to read?

-🎄

omg a violin 😲😲 that’s so cool I’ve always wanted to learn the violin but I have no time 😔

I do love giving them out but when people approach me at their own convenience to say my cookies are nice it’s even better 😖😖 usually I make german eggless cookies, one of the recipes my dad learnt from his lessons! mostly because I dislike egg and it’s kinda easier without the eggs HAHA

RIGHT LIKE I LOVEEE SEING PEOPLE HAPPY AT HOME !!! it makes my heart so warm sksndkwjwojs I just finished decorating my tree with my sister and it looks really nice, but I bet it’d be nicer if we had more space and a bigger tree 🫣🤗 it has led lights on it so it can light my way through the dark when I need to use the bathroom LOL sometimes I’m lazy to decorate, sometimes I’m feeling super productive. so, just depends on the day! no theme, just whatever we have or want 😌

aww thank youu 😚 I wish all that for you too! you don’t know what will happen in the future so always live in the moment ♡ (definitely did not just watch the 13 angry men gose ep)

HELP YOU’RE SO REAL FOR THAT !?!? I love binge reading once I get to a good writer’s blog because UGH omg I just need more like. asap !!! idk what defines a trope honestly but my favourite is private but not secret relationship 🤭🤭 favourite genre is definitely FLUFF because I love the feeling I get when I read it (I go mwheheushehehehehehee) favourite kinda fic to read is whiny!whoever x reader it’s so. it makes me cry tears of joy

“You know, last Christmas,” Eddie starts, about to tell Buck about Christopher and his sky high standards for decor.

“I gave you my heart? And the very next day, you gave it away?” Buck interrupts, finger-guns pointed at Eddie and his eyebrows raised high in amusement.

Eddie pulls a face and rolls his eyes. Humor. As if he needed an extra sign that Buck was trying to deflect from whatever was on his mind. Anyone else would’ve laughed and assumed that Buck cracking a joke meant that the status quo was normal, but Eddie’s not just anyone.

And besides, if Buck just so happened to give Eddie his heart there’s not a chance in hell he would give it away. Cherish it and intertwine it forever with his own, sure. But relinquish it? He couldn’t fathom the possibility.

“Wanna share with the class what you’ve got there?” Eddie says instead. “It won’t get you out of decorating my house forever though, you know.”

happy holidays @buckleyseddie!!❣️☃️(and many many thanks to @paranoidbean for setting up this lovely holiday gift exchange!!)

Hello again, Rosa! secret santa here - a little later than i actually wanted to answer, but oh well 😅

Oh, you know EXO since debut?! that's so cool!! compared to that i'm a baby exo-l, i joined the fun in 2018 🙊 but yeah.... gushing about chanyeol... i totally get the sentiment... *^*

i'm so glad i asked about the christmas thing tho! i hope it didn't come off as too nosey or insensitive or something. where i am from Christmas is a huge deal and even if you are not Christian it is hard to escape the whole spirit of the deason because it's just so closely connected with our regional traditions, and since a few years ago i sort of keep thinking about how this might feel for people who don't celebrate or celebrate some different holiday. that's why i was interested if that might be the case ^-^ anyway, giving New Year's Gifts sounds like such a nice tradition! It has a very meaningful ring to it, giving someone something to take with them into the new year. ✨

I have listened to Love So Sweet and it's such a cute song!! personally, i only can listen to such very poppy songs when i'm in the right mood for it, but i genuinely enjoyed listening to Love So Sweet 🥰

i like tons of different songs from many different genres and i'm so so bad a picking favorites, it changes every two hours, i feel xD but the one EXO song that i heard i knew i was sold is Overdose - such a bop!!

I also loved the Harry Potter books (i share your sentiment about the movies...) and i just continued loving fantasy novels (i think the most recent bigger series i read was everything belonging to the Grishaverse) and novels of any kind in general - i spend a lot of time reading ^-^ and for movies i like, it's quite the same actually (a recent favourite has to be Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings). my taste is just all over the place, haha xD

It's still autumn, but let me ask about your favourite things in winter! Are there any typical wintery activities you enjoy? Are you more the sporty or the cozy type? I'm gathering a few nice themes for your present~ I can't wait to start working on it 😊😊

I hope you'll have a nice week coming up for you ♡

Hello, Secret Santa!

No worries, I understand rl can be busy, I just replied to my person as well, so 😅

Yes! I heard about them before they debuted because my rl friends were super SM fans. I thought they were too young (lol) at first and didn’t look into them but watched everything because of my friend! 2018 was such a good year too! I think, Suho has mentioned it doesn’t matter when you started liking EXO but we’re all fans so that’s what matters. I think we find EXO when we need them so 🥰

No, no, not nosy or insensitive at all! I mean, I did choose to participate in this exchange and it is Christmas-themed so I knew what I was getting into! But thank you for asking, that was very sweet of you. I do wonder how it is to celebrate it though when I see everything, so even though I don’t, it’s one of my favorite times of the year! What some traditions you have during the Christmas time?

Oh! Thank you for listening to it! It’s one of my favorites from my other group that I love. It was from one of the dramas a member was in, the Japanese version of Boys Over Flowers (season 2). But I’m glad you enjoyed it! Many people don’t like it as much because they ALWAYS perform it but I love it every single time haha

Overdose definitely was such a good song! Are there any EXO songs you don’t like? Or just would skip?

I just started reading the Percy Jackson series. I’m surprised I’ve never actually read it before because the first book got me hooked! I’m trying to read more (non-EXO fics haha) so I recently started going to our local library and I’m hoping it’ll get me back into reading. I absolutely loved Shang-Chi! I saw it a few weeks ago and loved it! I don’t really care for the Marvel Universe but really liked Shang-Chi. I can’t wait for it to be on Disney+ haha

My favorite things in the winter? Well, where I live, it doesn’t really get the winter feel unless you drive out. But I’m going to be visiting family that it would feel like that! I just like seeing the Christmas lights and hoping it snows. I know my parents want to go to the winter village so maybe when I visit them, we can! But I’m definitely more of a cozy type — I’m too clumsy to do anything sporty. How about you?

I look forward to whatever you make! How exciting!

I hope this week is wonderful!
