Christmas with the Clones; Headcanons.

Hey guys! This is basically some headcanons about Christmas for the Clones in my fix-it au on and about Nay Mets!

Enjoy, and send some requests please!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

Rex

He is obsessed with the lights. And the pretty decorations. Everything pretty about christmas basically.

Rex is obsessed with the pretty-ness of the snow. But only to look at! No touch. 

Gets everyone really nice gifts and makes pudding.

Obsessed with older Christmas films like Holiday Inn and stuff.

Idk why.

On Christmas Day he’s up at his normal time and makes a coffee and drinks it before doing anything.

Fives

An actual fucking child.

Bro’s fav part is the gifts, and we all know it.

He loves kind of comedy-Christmas films.

I think first Christmas was when he gave everyone their hoodies but from then on, he gets like food or sweets for everyone.

He’s the first up on Christmas.

Boi falls down the stairs trying to race down, but he does wait for the others to arrive before unwraps his gifts. Impatiently. He waits impatiently.

Gives out free hot chocolate for the day.

Echo

Although he doesn’t really like to admit it, he likes the subtly romantic-Christmas films.

He buys everyone books and writes a message on the front page for them.

He loves the peaceful and beautiful side of Christmas. He 100% goes to the Church and listens to the carols even though he’s so not religious. 

Gave cards to like, basically everyone. Like, those cheap ones you buy at the fuckin post office but then he writes like a beautiful paragraph for every person.

Jesse

Child number 2.

He likes all Christmas films, but particularly the cheesy and comedic ones.

Gives everyone small but well-chosen and meaningful things. 

Holds a snowball-fight that ended up including like 90% of the town.

Cried hearing carols the first time, and refuses to go back to church. 

Gave Tundra a Santa hat.

Kix

Kix still worked on Christmas Eve, but not on the day.

He gave all the kids at the hospitals gifts, and all the adults chocolate.

Work up super late on Christmas Day because he got home so late.

Sent Padme a gift.

He gave everyone sweet home-made things no one knows when he made.

Travelled around town with Fives to give everyone hot chocolate.

Cody

Similar to Kix, he gave all the kids at the daycare chocolates.

He got everyone accurate gifts. One of the few normal gift-givers.

Organised a huge dinner for all the close clones plus Jedi and what not.

Got his own Santa hat but in the 212th’s colour and wore it everywhere. 

Just loves Christmas films. Like, particularly the ones with meaning.

Wolffe

Bro reminds me of a wet, angry cat.

Real-fucking-Scrooge/Grinch.

Secretly he actually likes Christmas, but he’ll never admit it.

Got everyone something small, probs stationary.

Bought the fucking cheap post office cards too but just wrote ‘Merry Christmas’ in them.

Threw part of the turkey at Fives when he wouldn’t stop singing.

Hates Christmas films.

Got Plo a hoodie saying ‘Best Dad’. Only rea gift he got, basically.

Fox

Bro was chugging coffee the night before because he’d been putting off wrapping the presents.

He went to Midnight Mass though, even though he’s not religious, he thought it was interesting. 

He basically got everyone a mug. 

A special mug.

He doesn’t really mind Christmas films but isn’t the biggest fan.

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls- 3x9-Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving- Part 1

It's 6:30am on the 4th of July. It feels like as a good a time as any to write about a Thanksgiving episode. I am quite fond of this episode, it's one of my favorites. It includes a historical first: which is Lorelai being kinda nice to Jess? Hooray! It's a Thanksgiving miracle! But off to the house fire with him again for Black Friday. I cannot, however, even in the spirit of Julyskiving, be nice to Lorelai when describing this episode. This is, after all, the "Just because you and Rory broke up doesn't mean we did" episode. Would you mind taking a Niceness Raincheck, Lorelai? I doubt it will be useful in s3. For the time being, just accept all of the comedic verbal beatdowns that you have coming from me. On with Julyskiving.

Jess can sympathize with Pete. But he's beating his meat instead of eggs. This one is a bit borderline, but it qualifies for a check on the "thinly veiled sexual reference" square on my Bingo Card. I cannot take my eyes off this mug Michel is holding and "sipping" from because it's the emptiest Empty Mug I've seen so far on this show. I've seen some empty cups on this show but dang, this one is empty.

Me looking for love in all the wrong places.

Heh heh. We learn that Lorelai has faked illness and poor cellphone reception (that's not terribly hard in 2002, the year of our lord) to try and weasel out of the last two FND's. Why, you ask? Because she's still hopping mad at Emily and Richard for...taking Rory on a trip to look at a school that wasn't Harvard. Emily Gilmore, the Queen that she is, lays down that in no uncertain terms that Lorelai will have to spend Thanksgiving doing FND. Emily won’t allow Lorelai get in a word in edgewise, complain, or protest 🫡 so Lorelai lays down like a dog and submits. I love to see it.

*checks off "Millennial Pop Culture Reference" on the Bingo Card* Have I mentioned how much I love the 35 year old extras playing high school students?

Not anymore he ain't. Just ride it out for another 3 short years. girl. Reese will be history by 2006. He never married again, either. "Is it me, or did everything the teacher say sound dirty? I mean come on, reticulum? The golgi body? Does that sound majorly pornographic or what?" Heh heh. Yeah. I'm scandalized by the use of the word "pornographic" on this wholesome show. We learn that Louise's father is in prison for an unspecified crime. I love Madelyn & Louise lore, don't you? Paris wanted to volunteer at a soup kitchen to pad her Ivy League resume but no one would take her. She will be ever so lonely on Thanksgiving and needs a place to spend the holiday. *bats eyelashes at Rory* Madelyn plans to spend Thanksgiving filling out applications for safety schools. Paris agres that is incredbly important to weigh as many options as possible when applying to colleges. Rory, meanwhile , remembers that just a short while ago, her Mommy had a nuclear meltdown in public and shut her grandparents out for weeks over the mere idea of her even looking at or thinking about a backup school. Much like the time she realized she forgot to enroll in extra cirricular activities, this is someone who is quietly contemplating just how badly she's boned. Academically speaking.

Paris receives a return call on her ancient cellphone from a soup kitchen, with whom she tries to wrangle a volunteer opportunity. This is how Rory looks at Paris angrily ranting at a charitable organization:

Paris may not be able to pad her college application by helping the needy this year, but she will always be a volunteer in the soup kitchen of Rory's heart.

OMG. Could it be? Is that...the window concession stand from s1?

IT IS! IT IS! I love that little guy! I thought the fragile small town economy had swallowed up another beloved business! You ladies are just gonna walk past and not pick me up a fiesta burger and onion rings, huh? Besides snubbing a small business that has to compete with Luke's and could really use the help, ahem, Rory and Lorelai's Thanksgiving itinerary includes dinner at the elder gilmores, Sookie's, Lane's, and Luke's. They then decide to cut Luke from their schedule, because ol Grumpy Gus doesn't care about holidays and he won't miss them.

And so what if he did? Peace and harmony will be achieved when the people of The Hollow are free and able to be their true and authentic sexual selves.

None of which they'll pay for.

"Such a food rut we're in!" Concession Stand Guy would like a word.

Ya'll are just filthy. You're making jokes about stuffing each other a day before this wholesome holiday. Continue. Please. Lorelai informs Luke that they can't make it for Thanksgiving tomorrow. He seems quietly shattered. *Mr Lonely plays*

Perhaps you can un-disappoint him by paying for your food. So moved were the Gilmore GIrls by Luke's rare, almost visible display of emotion, that they decide they can work him into their schedule after all.

Batten down the hatches, guy. The Gilmores are coming. To your restaurant. Just like they do every day. Multiple times a day. Sometimes after you've already closed. Always eating, never paying.

Rory emptied two beach pails of Ben and Jerry's ice cream in one sitting after Dean dumped her. She ain't wrong. Stay tuned for the next chapter where I will explore the re-appearance of the vomit green puffy coat, Rory's continued pre occupation with Dean, Lorelai's continued pre occupation with Dean (the re emergence of the DALA), comedic thoughts about Black Friday, and much more.

MORE STREAMER!ELLIE X EXTROVERTED!READERRRR

streamer!ellie x extrovert gf head canons

id like to think you two met in a really bizarre sort of way. like maybe she had just started getting big on a streaming platform and was getting recognition out in public. maybe you saw her, not knowing who she is and just asks for a photo like everyone else was doing

the photo is one you still hold onto to this day but after you kinda let her know that you have no idea who she is.

she’ll just chuckle, grab a pen from her pocket and write her number on your palm. telling you to use it if you ‘want to find out who she is’

dancing in the background of ellie’s streams in her shirt and shorts. singing along awfully to lana del ray or taylor swift that was playing on your earphones. you were purposely trying to annoy ellie but she’d just watch you with a smile on her face.

applying red lipstick just to walk into ellie’s room and press kisses all over her face before walking out. leaving ellie staring straight into the camera with a lovesick expression

having literally the best relationship with her fans. chatting on live and when you meet them in person you literally always get along. offering to take their photos with ellie but them insisting you need to be in it.

if ellie is streaming whilst you are getting ready for a night out with your girlfriends, you would constantly enter the room with different outfits on to get ellie and chats opinion.

they love it when you do an enthusiastic spin in each of your outfits no matter how plain they are

her instagram = all you. and i mean there is only like one post of just her. it’s literally photos of either you or you and her or you, her and your mutual friends.

she loves how clingy you sometimes get, when i’m these moods your always with her no matter where she went. ellie doesn’t complain though

playing games like online uno, monopoly and cards against humanity with ellie, dina and jesse. viewers get a nights worth of entertainment. you guys screaming at each other and blaming each other when something goes wrong

you and ellie tend to team up on these streams as well

you guys are like polar fucking opposites. while she’s almost always seen with a frown on her face (unless she’s with you) you always seem to be smiling. grumpy x sunshine🤭

tattoo stream?? maybe she’s friends with someone who does tattoos so you both get matching tattoos whilst live (and then after it’s ended you get a special little tattoo on a place that can’t be shown on a live stream)

she makes cash from streaming and will spend all of it on you and your shared house. i mean like high end furniture and designer clothes

cooking streams that end up with you two dancing to whatever non copyrighted songs are playing. her twirling you around and all that jazz

when you go on holidays and are recognised by fans all over the place. at first it’s a tad bit overwhelming but you both actually start learning other languages to speak to your international fans.

Holiday Fics Sneak Peek

I'm working on a bunch of holiday fics, so I'd give a little sneak peek. It's too late for a Sunday Six, but rules are for breaking! 😊

🌟Art credits: Top row and first photo on the bottom row - @/artbyainna (IG), second two on the bottom row @rosefuckinggenius 🌟

Open Heart - Ethan x Kaycee, Tobias x Casey, Jess x Casey Crimes of Passion - Trystan x Carolina Wake the Dead - Eli x Zoe

Casey & Jessica

Casey watched as her girlfriend furtively gnawed on her pen from across the room. The tiny Charlie Brown Christmas tree atop her kitchen table not providing the cover Jess had hoped for.

“Babe,” Casey called out, but Jess was far too lost in thought to hear.

Before the week ended, she needed to ace three exams and pack for their Christmas getaway. While that sort of pressure would get to most people, Jessica Philips wasn’t most people; Casey knew there had to be more on her mind. Crossing the room, she placed a steaming cup of hot chocolate before her girlfriend, then whisked a strand of her long red hair behind her ear and placed a kiss on her cheek.

“Are you going to tell me? Or do I need to tickle it out of you?”

Tobias & Casey

“Casey!” Tobias yelled from the end of the hallway, his arms flailing wildly to get his wife’s attention. “Case!”

The smile on her face broadened as she raced toward him. “You’ve got a spot!” she beamed.

“I do! We have never used this spot in hide and seek... not once! Are they all down for naps?”

“They are! I figure we have at least twenty minutes before one of them wakes up.”

“Then you better get moving.”

Tobias & Casey 2

“Can you believe this,” Casey beamed as she pulled a sweater over the giggling little girl on her lap. “A holiday Christmas card... a family holiday Christmas card!”

“Are you disappointed?” Tobias asked with a sarcastic grin.

“Nope. But sometimes, I’m still shocked. How did we end up here?”

With an exaggerated sigh, he took Samantha from Casey’s lap. “I guess I’ll have to explain it to you, Mrs. Carrick.”

Ethan & Kaycee

“Kaycee, I don’t know why you subjected yourself to this,” Jackie griped. “Why didn’t you just come with Ramsey? He has a car, and you wouldn’t have to worry about the run-in factor with us here.”

“I’d have to worry about a different run-in factor,” Kaycee reminded. “Remember, we’re trying to keep the fact that we’re dating lowkey until I finish my residency. Something about us strolling through the mall together Christmas shopping might tip some people off.”

“Yeah, especially with that doe-eyed look you get on your face when he’s around,” Sienna teased.

“And he has that slightly less disgusted with the world look on his,” Elijah added. “I see Kaycee’s point. A dead giveaway.”

Ethan & Kaycee 2

An hour earlier, and she wouldn’t have heard the bells chime when the door opened. But things had settled down; most people were already home with family and friends, precisely where she wanted to be. She turned around with a huff, but the look of annoyance evaporated from the pretty brunette’s face when she saw who entered.

“Well, well, well,” she sang. “What brings you in?”

The steely look Ethan shot would have terrified most, but she merely smiled.

“Shopping... of course.”

“Nothing like last minute,” she mocked.

“Yeah, well... I had no intention of being here.”

Trystan & Carolina

Trystan put the car in park. A spot right in front of Carolina’s apartment? On the streets of New York City? It was clearly it was a Christmas Eve miracle. He turned to Carolina, who had been much quieter than usual on the ride home.

“Hey,” he said, tenderly brushing her moonlit cheek. “Are you sure you’re OK with this? Staying in, just the two of us? It’s not too late for us to go to....”

“No,” Carolina interrupted, reaching to take his hand in hers. “A quiet night together... just you and me... that’s exactly what I want.”

Eli & Zoe

Eli opened the door quietly, unsure if Zoe was still asleep. Seeing the darkened room, he believed she was, so he gingerly placed the plate of cookies he managed to sneak away from Troy on top of an end table. While the sound was nearly inaudible, it was still enough to make her stir.

"Eli," she said groggily. "Why are you up here?"

Lifting the covers, he slid next to her, wrapping a protective arm around her.

"Because you're up here."

"But it's the winter celebration! You love this."

Any random thoughts about the AU you still have? If not maybe some thoughts and ideas about Mcsm in general?

Not to worry, my friend, I have plenty of thoughts about the Bakery AU 😁👍 (these are just my notes).

A few more highlights, since there are so many:

- Lukas broke his arm in middle school and it never really healed right. It was Aiden’s fault.

- Jesse has a bunch of fun socks. His favorite is a pair of pig socks that Ivor got him for Christmas one year.

- There’s a corner in the living room of Jesse, Axel, and Olivia’s apartment dedicated to Reuben. There’s a framed picture of him with the three of them, and a picture of him with Jesse as a kid on top of what used to be his favorite pillow.

- Lukas can’t do a lot of baking at home because Aiden is like “you bake all day at work, you don’t need to do it here, too” but when Aiden isn’t around, he does do some baking. He doesn’t eat the stuff he makes, though, so he takes it into work for Nell and Radar.

- Jesse and Axel play video games together all the time. Sometimes Olivia joins in.

- They can’t play card games anymore because Axel cheats.

- Olivia is the best at gift-wrapping.

- Lukas orders a plain black coffee every morning before work. He doesn’t like coffee.

- Petra sends Lukas pictures from her travels all the time. Never of anything scenic; it’s always the most random stuff.

- Her phone calls with Lukas last anywhere from ten minutes to three hours.

- She always comes home for holidays and Lukas, Jack, and Nurm’s birthdays.

- Nell has a seashell collection.

- Radar is really good at origami.

I have many, many thoughts about MCSM. Perhaps too many. That’s probably better off in a post of it’s own, if you have any specific questions!

4 Town Spending New Year's w/ Reader

Happy New Year (for tomorrow) 4 Townies! Here's a special seasonal set of headcanons for the occasion. How are you celebrating the new year?

Pure fluff✨

Robaire

Robaire loves new years. He’s someone who’s always trying to better himself in all ways, and January 1st is usually the fresh start that he needs.

Because he sees the occasion as something quite personal and intimate, that’s how he chooses to share it with you. He’ll book you a weekend away in a hotel, even if it’s not that far from your home. He likes to spoil you, so that’s exactly what he does.

He prefers to go somewhere quite remote instead of a city break. He’ll find somewhere classy, out in the middle of nowhere. That way, he can switch off from the potential of getting loads of attention and just focus on you.

He’ll probably keep it simple on New Year’s Eve. A chilled out day exploring the place you’re staying followed by a nice sit-down meal at your hotel. He’ll pay extra for a private table next to a window overlooking the scenery outside. You’ll both dress up nice and talk for hours about your goals, hopes and dreams.

Jesse

Jesse loves the holidays, and really sees new year’s as a time to unwind after Christmas. He’s usually eaten too much and is pretty over exhausted from his kids’ excitement, so he doesn’t really make any solid plans.

You’ll most likely go over to his place and spend time with his kids. He’ll encourage them to write down their resolutions, and you’ll help them out too. Once that’s all done and the twins have been put to bed, he’ll likely be sprawled out on the couch with you.

Whether you decide to stay up and see the new year in is really up to you, although given the choice, grandpa Jesse would probably go to bed at around nine thirty.

If you want to watch a movie or something, he’ll of course join you. You’ll just have to keep swatting at him to wake him from his dozing.

Aaron T

T is a sociable guy, so he’ll definitely host a party on New Year’s. It’s a joint effort between the two of you, and you’ll likely have your friends and family over. You of course invite the guys, too.

While you deal with the food (this boy can’t cook), T will organise all kinds of fun games and activities for your guests to take part in. Do NOT, I repeat NOT, leave him in charge of writing any icebreaker question cards, though. Your grandma still doesn’t understand some of the choice language that T included on one of the scraps of paper from last year.

While New Year’s with T is a busy affair, he’ll always make time with you throughout the night. When the final countdown at midnight begins, he’ll fight tooth and nail to be by your side and give you a big ol’ smooch as the new year rolls in. What can I say? He’s such a simp for you.

Aaron Z

Z really doesn’t care much about new year’s. It’s not that he’s a spoilsport or anything, it’s just that having his birthday on January 1st always put new year’s in the shade. His family never really used to stay up, because Z and his twin sister, Arielle, would whine as kids that they’d sleep in and ‘waste their birthday’.

If you’re a big fan of new year’s and want to celebrate it in a special way, Z will of course do whatever. However, his ideal new year’s? Curled up on the couch with your and a big-ass pizza between you. I feel like he usually spends lots of time watching TV during the holiday season. He says that it’s the only time anything good is ever on.

He tries to make the night special for the both of you, though. He’ll feed you little bits of pizza and pour you a glass of champagne. He’ll have a non-alcoholic version; I saw someone headcanon that he’s freaked out by alcohol and I stand by it 100%.

At some point he’ll put the movie on mute and give you his full attention, rambling quietly about his favourite moments from the past year with you.

If he stays awake long enough, he’ll give you a long, gentle kiss at midnight.

Tae Young

Tae loves New Year’s, maybe even more than Christmas. He just likes the sense of occasion and the idea of a fresh start, like Robaire. Spending it with you only makes it all the more special for him.

I feel like there’s not really one specific thing that Tae would do for New Year’s, but he’d definitely try and get all the guys together. He loves that you get on with them so well, and wants it to be a tradition that you all see the new year in together.

He always, always gets you a gift for new year’s. He’s pretty sentimental and spiritual, so he’ll likely choose you something that symbolises his hopes for you during the year ahead.

He also has this little tradition of making a wish right before kissing you at midnight.

One time you asked him why, and he told you that it was the only time he’d ever had a wish come true, because he’d open his eyes and you’d be there.

(Smh, I use the same gifs for the Aarons all the damn time but there are literally NONE out there)

A-Z Fluff (Aaron T Edition)

Gen ;; Fluff - Alphabet Headcanons

Warnings ;; no

Proofread + Edited ;; also no

Auth. Note ;; WELCOME TO DAY 20 OF THE 4*TOWN CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN !! ONE MORE SLEEP !!

Due to the missed days I will be posting a bunch tomorrow,, consider that my gift to you all lmao

Enjoy !! <3

✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈«

A = Activities (What kind of things do you do?)

Your first together can range from T wanting to climb a mountain and settling for a hike to staying in and playing video games. It'll have to be something engaging though or T may just zone out real hard lmao

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why/Why not?)

T loves the idea of a big family,, like an impossibly large family and he definitely wants to try adoption or fostering of some kind

C = Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

Like a koala to a tree,, somehow all limbs become involved and he will cling to you and not let go until he feels like it

D = Dates (What are dates with them like?)

Most likely chaotic,, you know if its running smoothly there was interference from the boy's or you planned the date lmao

The chaos is charming though..

E = Everything (You are my ____ (e.g. my life, my world)

You are his soul mate,, you perfectly complement him

F = Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

There isn't a time T can pinpoint where he realised he was in love with you,, he just knew.. T likes to say he didn't fall in love but instead took your hand and you walked into love together

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

Ish.. there's energy in everything T does,, even his calm is like an energetic calm if that makes sense and so is his gentle.. energetically gentle or smthn idk

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

T likes to squeeze you hand and rub his thumb over the back of it. He'll squeeze it every now and then almost as if to reassure himself you didn't disappear

I = Injury (How would they react if you got hurt?)

Massive freak out,, lots of flapping,, tons of frantic, nervous energy.. he will require another member, prolly Jesse, to help him out

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)

Eh,, not really.. T gets huffy if he feels like you're not giving him enough attention and may start acting p obnoxious in an attempt to get it but he's never really jealous of the people or your relation to them

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

With his whole being :DD

Your first kiss was definitely initiated by you,, like he was trying but accidentally got himself caught up in a ramble so you took the reigns and made your move

L = Love (Who says I love you first?)

You again,, similar situation actually.. he's rambling on, trying his best to just spite out the words but somehow gets himself into a speech about your eyes and you just blurt it for him

M = Memory (What's their favourite memory together?)

His favourite memory is playing uno with you and the boys.. you had no idea what you were getting yourself into and T had so much fun causing chaos

Yall went round the group TWICE with plus 2's before they all ended up on poor Z,, my guy drew 24 fucking cards in one go..

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Tbh T isn't really a material girlie,, his mind is more on spending time than giving gifts gifts he might not really think to get you anything unless you directly ask for it

Exceptions are made for your birthday and Christmas, maybe valentines day and any other gift giving holiday you tell him that you celebrate (again you have to let the guy know lmao) and he will be begging Jesse for help even though he knows you better

O = Orange (What colour reminds them of their other half?)

Not really applicable tbh,, no colour really make shim think of you.. at best maybe red but only because of roses and valentines and all that lmao

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

T despises non-ironic pet names they make him feel icky,, catch him calling you the most out of pocket shit for jokes and only jokes

"How are you today, my little napkin corner?"

Q = Questions (What are the questions they’re always asking?)

"How are you?"

"Is ____ technically a sandwich?"

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

Play video games or watch a movie with you and maybe the boys if they're around,, he loves big groups

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?)

For someone,, else he'll crack jokes to try and ease the tensions and take their mind of whatever they're experiencing..

For himself,, T wants to be alone in a quite place to sort out his thoughts and feelings so he doesn't lash out at anyone or anything (he never would but he's scared one day he might)

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

Anything and everything,, the sky is literally the limit and he will start a debate about what counts as the sky and where it ends if you ever say that phrase

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

Hear me out,, putting popping candy in his mouth, closing his eyes and just experiencing it.. he lives the tingly feeling and it somehow helps him relax

W = Wedding (When, how, where do they propose?)

For some reason I get the feeling I've done this before.. oh wait..

Find the fully-written T proposal here

X = Xylophone (What's their song?)

Grace Kelly - MIKA,, no explanation necessary

Y = Yearning (How well do they cope when they’re separated from their S/O?)

T does fine,, he saves all his clingy energy for facetime calls with his partner.. man he loves those lmao

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

A reptile of some sort,, maybe a gecko or a lizard

what is alaska fam doing for valentine’s day?

jesse and demi are having a Real date because they so rarely go on textbook "dates" and as fine as they both are with that, they have a little too much romance in their respective hearts to let today go uncelebrated. before they go out though, they spend the afternoon with baby since she of course owns their hearts. since she is a child with no money, she does her best to replicate the cards she sees at the store with colored pencil and paper, then tapes candy that she got at school to the cards to give to her parents. they dont talk about how the holiday played out at school (baby never brings it up outside of getting the standard set of spongebob cards + gummy krabby patties to pass out and they dont want to pry when she comes home empty handed), but they Do give her a bag of gummy sharks and something fun (a new book, a doll outfit) in return. (later, in bed: "my parents never did that. the whole giving kids presents on valentines day." "neither did mine." "....im glad we do though. it can be easy to forget, yk. when ur a kid. that people Really love u.") once mason comes by to watch baby for the rest of the evening, jesse and demi head out to their favorite nice-ish restaurant nearby. it has terrible food, but really good drinks and dessert, so their "romantic dinner" mostly consists of taking sips of each other's drinks, getting by on the free bread, and going wild over a volcano cake. afterwards, they drive out to the pier (knowing it'll be cold, but just glad it's not snowing tonight) to sit by the water. it's quiet enough there that they have plenty of space to talk and dark enough that they can be sillay under the thick fleece blanket demi brought if they want. they save most of that silliness for later when they have more blankets and sheets: for now, it's just nice to talk and laugh. jesse confidently and incorrectly identifies stars, aiming to make demi snort laugh; she tells him fake stories about college to see how long it takes him to realize they're fake. they don't worry about gifts, not anymore. demi's garden isnt producing particularly photogenic flowers atm and they already got their chocolate. they're both just so grateful for the other, so dumbfounded that things could be this good. its the kind of overwhelming feeling that doesnt really fit into words, but when jesse says "i love u more than today" and demi lovingly, knowingly responds by running her thumb along his cheekbone, he knows that she Understands what he really means. valentines day is really just the baseline for them, in a sense.

The group enters the Winchester house and the woman, minus Y/N, laugh.

"So, Y/N, what was uh...what was all that back at the restaurant?" Sam asks.

"Yeah, you’re making us worried," Dean says.

"Ah...I-I thought I saw something. I'm sure it's nothing."

"Well, I had a lovely birthday. Thank you. Good night."

"Good night," Jessica, Carmen, and Eddie say in unison.

“Good night," Y/N says, Bonnie in her arms now asleep, her head resting against Y/N’s shoulder.

"Night. Mom," Sam turns to the others, "Yeah, well I'm beat." Sam turns to Jess, "Ready to turn in?"

"Sure."

"All right. Good night, guys."

"Yeah, we better too," Dean says to Carmen.

“Yeah, we better get Bonnie home too,” Eddie says, nodding to them.

"Wait a second. Wait a second. Come on, it's not even nine o'clock yet. Let's uh...Let's have a drink or something. Eddie, you can take Bonnie home and I’ll be back later?"

"Yeah, maybe another time," Dean says.

"Come on, guys. Look at us. Huh? We all have wives and a husband on our arms, I have a daughter. You're engaged. Let's go celebrate." There's an awkward silence. Sam turns to Jess, Carmen, and Eddie.

"Guys, can you excuse us? We just want to talk to our sister for a sec," Sam asks, smiling to them.

"Sure."

"Thanks."

“I’ll get her,” Eddie says, holding his arms out to Y/N to take Bonnie. Y/N gently passes Bonnie over to Eddie, and the girl instantly lays her head on her dad’s shoulder.

"Come on, Carmen, Eddie." The three leave the room and Sam and Dean turn to Y/N.

"Come here," Sam says and walks to the other side of the living room, Dean following.

"What?" Y/N says, following.

"Okay. What's gotten into you?" Dean asks.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean this whole warm, fuzzy ecstasy-trip thing."

"I'm just happy for you, Sammy, De."

"Yeah, right. That's another thing. Since when do you call us Sammy and De? Y/N, come on. We don't talk outside of holidays.”

"We don't? Well, we should. I mean, you’re my brothers."

"You're our sister?" Y/N laughs.

"Yeah."

"You know, that's what you said when you snaked my ATM card, or when you bailed on my graduation, or when you hooked up with Michael Monroe."

"Who?" Y/N asks.

"Uh, my best friend. On prom night, having also ditched your prom date the same night."

"What about when we had that fight. We gave each other bruises," Dean says.

"Yeah, that does kinda sound like me. Well, hey guys, I'm sorry about all that." Y/N walks towards Sam and Dean who back away. “Look, I’m different from then. I have a daughter now, I-I’m better.”

"No that, look, that's all-right Y/N, I-I just...You know we're not asking you to change. W-we just, uh, we don't know, I... guess we just don't really have anything in common. You know?" Y/N blinks and the brothers start to walk away.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yes, we do. Yes, we do," Y/N laughs.

"What?" The two ask in unison.

"Hunting."

"Hunting? We've never been hunting in our life, Y/N."

"Yeah, well, then we should go sometimes. I... I think you'd be great at it." Sam and Dean start to walk away.

"Get some rest," Dean says, turning around. They walk away and leave Y/N in the living room.

==

Y/N is sitting on the sofa in her house, thinking, furrowed brow. Eddie walks into the room, holding two beer bottles, handing one out to Y/N.

"My favorite. I guess you know me pretty well."

"'Fraid so. You all right?"

"Sammy, De and I... We don't get along."

"Well, you don't really spend a lot of time together. I mean, I just think you don't know each other all that well. I think they only ever come down to see Bonnie."

"Hm."

"For the record. They don't know what they're missing."

"I can fix things with them. I can make it up to them. To everyone."

"Okay. What's gotten into you lately?"

"This isn't gonna make a lick of sense to you. But I kind of feel like I've been given a second chance. And I don't wanna waste it."

"You're right, that doesn't make any sense—" Y/N leans in and kisses Eddie.

"You know, I get it."

"Get what?" Eddie asks.

"Why you're the one."

"Well?" She kissed him again. "Whatever's gotten into you...I like it." They begin to kiss. "Ohhh...come on! Don't do this to me now. I've gotta get ready for work." He gets off the couch, leaving Y/N sitting with her hands as if he was still between them. "You got to work now?"

"I told you. I've got the night shifts on Thursday." Y/N gets up.

"You work nights at the, uh..." Later, Eddie is standing by the closet, taking out scrubs. Y/N stands in the doorway.

"...Hospital. I'm dating a nurse. That is so...respectable," Y/N says to herself. Eddie smiles at her words. Y/N looks at her...well butt probably, and takes a sip of beer. Later, Y/N is sat on the couch, putting her feet on the table, drinking beer and watching TV.

"The olive oil must have a purpose here."

"Yeah."

"Yeah?" The woman says.

"I'll take the olive oil and we'll just put just a touch of olive oil, okay? That's all."

"Oh."

"Can't make any mistakes with this machine. Now, for liquid, I could use water but I'm gonna use a little spinach—" Y/N changed the channel to the stock market, cartoon, and then the news. On the TV is a land plane and a reporter.

"And today marks the anniversary of the crash of United Britannia Flight 424." This gets Y/N's attention and she leans forward as she continues to watch. "Indianapolis residents held a candlelight vigil in memory of the hundred and eight people who lost their lives..."

"No, no. I stopped that crash." Later, Y/N is in front of her laptop reading headlines that relate cases she had solved.

Indianapolis Sun, December 5TH, 2005 - FLIGHT 424 CRASHES, 108 DEAD; Tragedy shocks the nation, as emergency crews continue to search rubble

Nine Children Comatose; ... Mystery illness baffles doctors at Dane County Hospital

Parents mutilated in bed.; ...Brutal double homicide in quiet residential area causes shock

GIRL DROWNS IN HOTEL POOL; Mother devastated after discovering daughter drowned

Y/N catches a glimpse of a passing figure, a woman in white; She gets up to see what it is. Later, she opens her bedroom closet door and sees several male corpses, hanging. She hears a sound and turns around to see another male, with a wound in his head, flickering in front of her. She pants, looking shocked, and turns back around to the closet—to see nothing out of the ordinary.

==

Y/N is standing by John's grave.

"All of them. Everyone that you saved, everyone Sammy, Dean and I saved. They're all dead. And there's this woman, that's haunting me. I don't know why. I don't know what the connection is, not yet anyway. It's like my old life is, is coming after me or something. Like it like it doesn't want me to be happy. Course I know what you'd say. Well, not the you that played softball but... 'So go hunt the Djinn. He put you here, it can put you back. Your happiness for all those people's lives, no contest. Right?' But why? Why is it my job to save these people? Why do I have to be some kind of hero?" Y/N begins to cry while talking, her voice cracking. "What about us, huh? What, Mom's not supposed to live her life, Sammy's and De’s not supposed to get married? I’m not supposed to be married and have a daughter? Why do we have to sacrifice everything, Dad?" There's a small pause. "It's..." Y/N's lips tremble. Silence. Tears begin to fall on Y/N's cheek. "Yeah." Y/N wipes the tears on her cheeks. She turns around and walks away.

==

Sam wakes up to a noise. He stands up and goes to Dean’s room, but before he knocks it opens and Dean comes out. He shushes Sam and they go down the stairs, quietly, Dean with a bat in his hand. The two stop in the doorway, leaning, looking into the living room. He sees the window open and under it, someone is in one of the cabinets. Dean shushes Sam and points to the cabinet. Dean goes in, swinging. The person gets up and counterattacks, throwing him on the floor.

"That was so easy, I'm embarrassed for you," Y/N says as she breathes.

"Y/N? What the hell are you doing here?" Sam asks. Y/N gets up, letting Dean get up off the floor. They stand in front of the window.

"I was looking for beer," Y/N says.

"In the China cabinet?" Dean asks. Sam goes to turn on the light and the box with their parents' silverware is on the floor, open.

"That's Mom's silver," Sam says.

"Guys—"

"What, you...you broke into the house...to steal Mom's silver?"

"It's not what it looks like. Ok, I don't have a choice."

"Oh really? Why? What's so damn important you gotta steal from your own mother?" Dean says.

"You want the truth?"

"Yeah, yeah we do," Y/N shrugs.

"I owe somebody money."

"Who?"

"A bookie. I lost big on a game, I gotta bring him the cash tonight."

"I can't believe we're even related," Sam says. Y/N looks down. “I can’t believe you’d do something so stupid, that could get your daughter involved too.”

"Guys, I'm sorry."

"Yeah," Dean says quietly.

"I'm sorry that we don't get along. And I wish to hell I could stay and fix it. But I gotta do this. People's lives depend on it." She turns around and takes a knife from the box.

"What are you talking about, Y/N?" Sam says.

"Nothing. Forget it. Just uh...hey, tell Mom I love her." Sam and Dean frown, seeing that something is up. Dean goes for the door.

"Y/N," Dean says, and Y/N turns around,

"I'll see you, Sammy, De." She walks out the door, taking one last look at the house and the boys. Sam and Dean stand in the living room where Y/N left them, confused.

==

Y/N is sitting in the car, engine going, thinking. Suddenly the passenger and back door open and Sam and Dean get into the car.

"Get out of the car."

"We're going with you," Dean says from the passenger seat.

"You're just gonna slow me down."

"Tough," Sam says.

"This is dangerous and you two could get hurt."

"Yeah, and so could you, Y/N."

"Guys—"

"Look, whatever stupid thing you're about to do, you're not doing it alone. And that's that."

"I don't understand. Why are you doing this?" Y/N asks. The boys sigh.

"Because you're still our sister."

"Assholes."

"W-hat are you calling us assholes for?"

"You two are supposed to say jerk and bitch."

"What?" Dean asks.

"Never mind." She puts the Impala in gear and they drive off. A few hours pass and Dean looks down at a bag on the seat between him and Y/N.

"What's in the bag?" Dean sighs.

"Nothin'," she says. Sam leans forward, looking at the bag.

"Nothin'?" Sam says.

"Yeah, nothin'."

"Fine," Dean grabs the bag and begins to open it, "You don't wanna do that."

"Oh really?" Dean takes out what was in the bag, showing it's a container of blood.

"What the hell is this?" Sam asks, looking at the container.

"Blood." Sam seems upset.

"Yeah, I can see that it's blood, Y/N! What the hell is it doing here?"

"You don't really wanna know," Y/N says.

"No, we-we do really wanna know, we really, really, do," Dean says.

"Yeah, well you're gonna find out sooner or later. I needed a silver knife dipped in lamb's blood."

"You needed a silver knife dipped in lamb's blood, why?"

"Because there's this creature. A Djinn. And I have to hunt it."

"Okay, um...stop the car," Dean says.

"I know how it sounds."

"Great. Just...stop the car."

"It's the truth, Guys. All right, there are things out there in the dark. There - there - there are bad things. There are nightmare things. And people have to be saved and if we don't save them, then nobody will."

"Look, we wanna help you, all right. I-I really, really do, but you're having some kind of psychotic breakdown, so, I... just—"

"I wish." Sam picks up his phone and starts dialing a number. Y/N rolls down her window, grabs Sam's phone and throws it out, doing the same with Dean's phone, then she rolls the window up.

"What the hell was that, Y/N? That was our phones!"

"I'm not going to a rubber room, Guys. And we have work to do."

"What? We were just trying to help you out, Y/N. We don't, we don't want you to get yourself hurt."

"What? You two protect me?"

"Yeah!" They say in unison. Y/N laughs.

"Oh, that's hilarious. Why don't you two just sit tight and try not to get us both killed." Y/N starts the radio and music blares out.

==

Y/N looks over at Sam and Dean, who are asleep. She picks up her flashlight and shines it on their faces, waking them up with a startle.

"Where are we?" Dean asks.

"Well, we're not in Kansas anymore," Y/N chuckles at the two. When there's no reaction, the smile dies. "Illinois."

"And you think something's in there?" Sam says.

"I know it is." Later, Sam, Dean, and Y/N are walking in, flashlight in Y/N's hand.

"See? There's nothing here, Y/N." She starts walking down the hallway. Sam and Dean closely follow behind.

"Look, Eddie's gotta be worried sick about you, Y/N. Come on, let- let's just go." There's a sudden sound.

"Shh!" she speaks. There's more sounds and the boys start to take it seriously.

"What the hell is that?" Dean asks.

"Stay behind me and keep your mouths shut." The three approach a big room full of bodies hanging from the ceiling. There are drained blood bags hanging next to one of the bodies.

"What the hell?" Sam says. Y/N looks further to the right and sees the woman she's been seeing. They approach her and there's another blood bag next to her, filled with blood. Her eyes are open, but she looks close to dead.

"It's her." Dean looks at the bag and her wrists that are tied, just like the others. She begins to moan and whimper.

"Y/N, what's going on?"

"Shh!" she says and grabs the two. The Djinn comes out and when it comes out from behind a wall and walks up behind the woman, the three are gone. The woman is sobbing.

"Where's my dad?" she cries. "I won't tell," she says looking at the Djinn. "Don't." She moves her feet away from the Djinn while Dean, Sam, and Y/N are hidden. She continues to cry. "Where's my dad?" The Djinn touches her face.

"Sleep," he says as he strokes her cheek, some blue flares going over it. The Djinn's eyes glow bright blue. "Sleep... sleep." Her head falls forward, eyes still open and her feet relax, falling forward again. The Djinn rests his face against her arms, touching her right arm and breathing heavily, eyes closed. He then goes for the blood bag, pulls out one straw and puts it to his mouth, drinking her blood. Sam sees this and gags in disgust. The Djinn hears and turns around right away; its eyes flash blue and he begins to move towards their hiding place. When he gets there, the three are gone.

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls, 3x9, A Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving, Part III--"Lorelai Mourns Her Breakup WIth Dean--WTF Is Wrong With This Bish, No Seriously, Someone Needs To Study Her in A Lab Or Something" OR "Doofus In A Green Apron And the Woman Who Loved Him" Or "Supermarket Seduction: The Lorelai Gilmore Affair"

I'm kinda obsessed with playing Brand Name I Spy whenever someone visits Doose's. It's kinda fun to play Stars Hollow Anthropologist and figure out how these curious creatures live, what products they subsist on. In this scene I spotted (deep breath) Whiskas Cat Food, Ring Pops,Alpo and Pedigree Dog Food, Barilla Pasta Sauce, Princella Canned Sweet Potatoes, A1 Steak Sauce, Carnation Canned Milk, Sunkist Orange Soda, Dole bananas, Planters cashews ,Lindt chocolate, Dentyne Ice Gum, Uncle Ben's Rice, some kind of Ragu instant meal, Ocean Spray pie filling, Symphony chocolate bars, Vaseline and a variety of lotions (for which Jess is grateful), Band Aids, Stove Top Stuffing, Campbell's Soup, Gatorade, Mylanta, Pepcid, Ponds cream, Advil (both regular and a fruit flavored Children's variety), SO MUCH TYLENOL, Snuggle Detergent, Bounce Fabric Softener, Q Tips, Bactine, Neosporin, Quilted Northern wet wipes, Chapstick, 2 ginormous boxes of Kraft Instant Mac & Cheese, a WHOLE LOT of First Response pregnancy tests and ovulation kits (every one of these brands is still in existence 22 years later, btw) Aaaand last but not least: Kirk, A grown ass woman with a sick obsession over her daughter's teenage ex boyfriend, and a doofwad wearing a green apron.

The way those pregnancy tests are so fucking prominent in the background is sending me into orbit. Who is even getting laid in The Hollow besides Babette/Morey and Miss Patty, and they're past menopause. Things Doose's Market does not sell: Condoms Things Doose's Market does sell: Cigarettes (there's a "We Card" placard on the register)

The WB network was truly the place to be for product placement in the early 2000s.

SHE'S GOIN IN FOR THE KILL! da dum da dum da dum dadumdumdumdumdum

The two of them making eye contact across the market. PLEASE!

Dean: OH SHIT. SHE'S HERE. GO LIMP, FORRESTER.

The way she looks at him! I ship them so hard! I also ship Dean's face with the business end of a speeding train!

What kind of slave driver is Taylor Doose for making Dean work on Thanksgiving? Please make him work every holiday, Taylor. His family won't miss him. (I know that here in the US quite a lot of supermarkets stay open on Thanksgiving, at least for a half day anyway, but like, why isn't Taylor working? He's probably taking a Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii with the money he's embezzled from all the town fundraisers. Broken bridge my ass). Dean says he's getting paid time and a half for working the holiday, so I will not be calling the Connecticut Board of Labor on Taylor. Luke, meanwhile,continues to pay his nephew in acorns. For what the DALA is worth, it really leans creepily one sided. Lorelai's always coming onto Dean with Dean looking bewildered with the milf seduction. Well, maybe not in this scene from season 4, he was pretty into it by then.

Puke.

Lorelai: I'll give you time and half. in my bed.

L: Dean, Wait... D, slowly turning around clutching packs of Dentyne gum: Yeah? L: I...LOVE YOU. Nah just kidding. We know it actually gets a helluva lot weirder than that.

The look on Doofwad's face says even he knows you're full on delulu. She makes a speech to Dean about how when you live in a small town you shouldn't shit where you eat, metaphorically speaking. I mean, after all the times she's had to scramble to find alternate dining establishments because she had a spat with Luke, she should know. Lorelai wants Dean to know that she's done hiding from him. Uhh...

Dean just got the memo that he was avoiding Lorelai.

For as long as I live I will never let you live this line down, Lorelai Gilmore. Salty Gilmore's Gravestone will read: Here Lies SaltyGilmores March 24th, 2022-???? She Recalled That In The Thanksgiving Episode Lorelai Gilmore Told Dean Forrester That They Weren't Broken Up Yet

Dean: Okay, whatever you say, DeLuLu Lady.

Get yourself a partner who looks at you the way Lorelai Gilmore looks at the local teenage bagboy.

That was pretty intense, Deano. Take a deep breath, it'll be okay. Just head over to the lotion aisle and then make yourself comfy in the break room. Lorelai exits the market to meet Rory, seemingly drained, and shaken by the events that just transpired. When Rory (who is now avoiding entering Doose's Market herself in this neverending game of Business Boycott Roulette) asks how it went, Lorelai can barely speak, as if moments ago she had just done all the heavy lifting for her own relationship and not Rory's. Truly twisted stuff, I'm telling ya. (by the way thank you to @ernestonlysayslovelythings (AGAIN) for pointing out that Jess' green coat makes at least one more appearance. I'll have to postpone the Coat Funeral/Ritual Burning To Ward It Of Evil Spirits)

Today was the last farmers market of the season! I still have at least two more winter/holiday markets but it was the last one at the museum. And I had such a good time. It was good day.

I slept alright last night. My voice is still strained but a lot more normal. I can actually talk so that's nice. Though my throat does hurt a little bit. But I was able to sleep until 730 and things were good.

Everything kind of fell apart when we left though. James drove us the normal way and then our exit was closed?? And we were forced to go through the tunnel. But the exit going the other direction was also closed! So a less then 15 minute drive took more then a half hour and was terrible. I was not having fun and was trying not to fall apart but I was very close.

We got to the museum right before 830.

James helped me get everything over. And I would calm down. They went to get me breakfast because they are the best husband. And I got my table set up. I struggled only because it was really windy!

I always find the windy days exhausting. Just fighting to keep all my stuff from blowing away. I still was having fun but it was tough.

After I ate something I felt a little better.

And I had fun! I made a lot of sales and felt good. I also finished sewing a few frogs. I sold one of the new horses to an adorable little girl. One of the kids from my class yesterday came through and his mom and me had a nice conversation and she got a few stickers and two frogs! Amazing. I was having a great time.

Ginny gave me a ton of extra treats since she didn't want to bring anything home. And I enjoyed my brownie I had bought.

It was a good last day. I enjoyed texting with my dad. And with James. And Jess. Celia sent me a picture of a shark tooth she found at Calvert cliff snd I was very jealous!

I was very cold but I was just having a good time. My hands would start to hurt while I was knitting and went inside to warm up and say hi to James. And would just enjoy my morning.

Steve, the man who asked me to fix his bear, came to collect. And he was so excited. It was so sweet! He paid me more then I asked him and he told me he's had this bear for 20 years!! I thought he just found this bear recently but he's been holding onto it for so long! I'm really glad he was happy.

The end of the market came really fast. The distillery gave everyone drinks (which I said thank you but no) and everyone was being silly and it was very fun just getting hugs and saying goodbye. Auni came through to give thank you cards and she wrote the nicest note and made me feel very appreciated. I was feeling very happy.

I had a nice conversation at the end with the security guard. Apparently none of the market vendors knew that we had security on the weekends. And that was always have. This one was just wearing a vest with security on it so he was more visible. But I went to chat with him and he started saying how great James was and I was like. That's my husband!! And he freaked and was like that's my guy!!!! Just praising James for being so smart and kind and fun and welcoming and I'm like. This is all true!! I'm so glad you see that!!

I went to say goodbye to James. I would watch the desk for a few minutes and even checked someone into the musuem. Befoee I said goodbye to them and headed home.

When I got back here I brought all the baked goods in. And got changed. And almost immediately got in bed. I was still really cold so I put my heating bad on my middle and went to sleep.

I would lay there and watch videos for a while but eventually I did fall asleep. And woke up at 430 pretty tired still. But I wanted to accomplish some stuff tonight. We rescheduled seeing houses to Monday. And that was for the best.

When James got home they were exhausted. They wanted to do laundry and run the dishwasher but they were just really tired.

I was too. And cold. They warned me up some soup for dinner and it helped. And at 6 I got up to work in the studio.

James helped out my fabric and materials from yesterday tomorrow. They also brought my market stuff up so I could put everything away. I set up the picnic table in here to use for cutting fabric. And then did some work making a Tshirt pattern for my private lesson tomorrow. This was tough but I figured it out eventually!

I would do a lot of fabric cutting next. I want to have more horses for the winter markets. I got 12 cut out and 3 sewn. Need all their hair and eyes but still got a lot done. I also got 4 bears all sewn up.

I was actually super productive tonight. I did some snail catching in the tanks. We put all the Christmas stuff in the bedroom so it'll be ready to hang after Thanksgiving. And I felt really good. Having a 4 hour video just going helped me stay focused. I never had to stop to pick something new. It was excellent.

It was a really nice evening and a good day. Tomorrow I have my private lesson with Naomi and I'm looking forward to it. I will probably clean in the morning and just get ready for the week. I hope you all have a great day and sleep well tonight!! Until next time!

What is he doing?

What is he DOING?

He thinks he’s hiding his alarm well as he anchors Jess’s car seat into the truck’s bench seat. (Christ all Friday this thing isn’t safe for a kid! Does it even have airbags?) He thinks his face is calm and responsive as Deirdre reminds him of the upcoming check-in with CPS and Liz’s case number and when and whether he’ll be called as a witness is up to the judge.

But just as he’s finished buckling Jess into the car with a board book from Deidre and the ratty old pillow he’s been carrying around since Luke got there, Deidre catches his elbow and turns him to face her.

“Mr. Danes, you need a minute?”

And with that modicum of concern, it spills out of him, all of it.

“How did this happen?” He keeps his voice low, turns his back so Jess can’t see and talks out of the corner of his mouth, but it barely slows the words and doesn’t at all hide their desperation. “My sister… how… He’s a baby. And now I’m what he’s got and I’m… I have no damn idea what I’m doing. He needs his mother. He needs her.”

“Mr. Danes,” Deirdre says. Her face is all at once compassionate and weary and stern. “He needs someone who loves him. Someone who puts that love into practice and protection. Someone who knows that love isn’t enough, that he also needs baths and breakfast and his own space to sleep. Do you know that?”

“Well, yeah, I—”

“Then you have more of an idea what you’re doing than his mother does right now.” She sizes him up. “You can do this.”

He lets a stream of breath out through his nose. “I can do this.”

“The Christmas presents you sent are in the bed. They’re in a trash bag so they should stay dry in the snow.”

The brief flare of confidence snuffs out. “Aw, jeez.”

“Mr. Danes?”

Luke cards his hands through his hair. “Those are presents from me.”

“And?”

“I forgot about, you know…” He drops his voice. “I didn’t get Santa gifts or anything like that. I didn’t realize—”

The pity on Deirdre’s face rips him in two. “Mr. Danes, Jess barely knows what Christmas is. He’ll be just fine. You both will.”

He tries to believe her, he does.

He repeats it to himself as the traffic snarls around them and the snow starts to fall. But every time he does, there’s an echoing throb of panic deep in his gut.

Jess is almost entirely silent as Luke wends his way out of New York. He looks out the window and looks at the book Deidre sent with him. Are kids supposed to be this quiet? Aren’t kids supposed to be loud and messy and into every damn thing? Luke briefly considers trying for conversation (With a three year old?!) but Jess seems content, so Luke lets him be.Eventually the little boy falls asleep, his slightly sweaty, dark little head lolling to the side in a way that makes Luke vaguely concerned for the state of his neck.

He lets his breath out the second he realizes Jess is asleep and decides to take this quiet time to panic.

Once the spiral starts, it doesn’t stop. Now he’s worried about everything: the other drivers, Liz’s court date, whether Doose’s will still be open when they get back to Stars Hollow so he can get the kid his Frosted Flakes. They whiz past a sign for a rest stop and it takes all of Luke’s considerable self-control not to jerk the wheel to head for it at speed, to tumble out into the little brick outbuilding and puke into the grass and call Lorelai again.

Lorelai. God, don’t even get him started on the guilt he feels with Lorelai. What was he thinking, calling her and dumping all this on her, asking her to get that stuff for Jess? It’s too much to ask of anyone – especially a woman who doesn’t even get to spend the holiday with her own kid, a fact Luke had forgotten until an hour after he’d hung up the phone with her. But he knew she wouldn’t say no, because she’s hands down the kindest person on Earth, and at that desperate moment Luke was just in dire need of the warmth and kindness that Lorelai Gilmore had in spades.

What a friggin’ putz.

He’ll make it up to her. He’ll give her that bonus and he’ll apologize and he’ll keep his insane family problems out of her business.

Call it a Christmas gift.

For what it’s worth, Luke doesn’t hate Christmas.

Okay, yes, the commercialism sends him into a tailspin, but he’s hardly alone there, right? And light pollution is bad enough for migratory birds without the Griswolds of the world throwing up 500 strands of blinking fairy lights. And he does hate about 99% of all Christmas music and he doesn’t care if he is alone in that respect – why is a wife-beating son-of-a-bitch like Bing Crosby considered a Christmas staple?! 

But that doesn’t mean he hates Christmas.

He does like the quiet parts of Christmas, what little of them remain. Although not religious, he can appreciate a Christmas hymn – his earliest Christmas memory is dozing on his dad’s shoulder in front of their Christmas tree, his mother’s sweet, rusty voice humming O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. And he’s not such a Grinch that he doesn’t appreciate a little kid’s joy on Christmas morning: he still remembers Lizzie’s unparalleled delight upon opening up her Lite-Brite the year she turned five.

His stomach curdles when he thinks about his sister. This is the longest they’ve ever intentionally gone without speaking – unintentionally, well, that’s always been more frequent. He lost track of her for the entirety of 1982 and most of 1985. Not that there’s much Liz probably has to say to Luke that she hasn’t screamed at him on the phone since the horrible day that Child Protective Services took Jess.

 Jess. The curdled stomach comes back with a vengeance. He reaches automatically for the bottle of Tums that he’s taken to keeping in his back pocket, shakes three out into his palm. He wonders for the ten thousandth time how his nephew is, whether he’s scared, whether the gifts Luke sent for Christmas made it to the foster home – Deirdre, the foster mom, is perfectly nice but does not believe in returning phone calls.

Okay, so this year, maybe he does hate Christmas.

travelling england squad headcanons my exhausted brain just thought of

jordan pickford - won’t forget anything important but will get very confuddled and mixed up with stuff when he gets to boarding. hands his passport at the wrong time, can’t find his boarding pass when it is actually in his hand etc. talks really loud and does not stop talking to the person next to him on flights

harry maguire - won’t let anyone carry his bags for him bc he doesn’t want to be a bother. will have his boarding pass and passport ready to pull out whenever needed but will never just carry it in case it gets lost. mild dad on holiday vibes but discretely and will often be found in disbelief that some of these boys have survived as long as they have. will barely speak on the plane, doesn’t mind being sat next to jp bc he’s learned to tune his voice out.

kieran trippier - dad on holiday™️. will always have his passport and boarding pass at the ready, no muss no fuss, will go at the back of the group to make sure his children (he is responsible for mason, declan and jadon. also jesse but only when marcus isn't there) and he will inevitably pick up mason's passport when he drops it while being an idiot with declan and doesn't notice. will sit with the quietest person and/or alone so he can sleep. will under no circumstances sit with pickers - has to be at least three rows away and will be monitoring behaviour.

jordan henderson - another dad on holiday™️ but funnier (he is instead responsible for jack, phil and trent). gets annoyed when other people are messy/leave mess. probably takes passports off those likely to lose them right after they pass through customs and gives them back only when they approach customs at the other airport. will sit at the back of the plane alone so he can listen to alicia keys in peace.

harry kane - never late but also never quite on time but nobody says anything because he’s never the last one there. will usually congregate with The Dads and doesn't say much (read; he is usually found next to harry maguire both standing and enjoying the silence bc girldads)

mason mount - chronically late, always last to catch up while trippier taps his foot and checks his watch. will do the innocent mason giggle and get away with it. flight attendants think he’s adorable and airport workers love him because he travels with two basically empty bags cos he travels so light. will sit next to declan to begin with and eat all of his snacks while dec sleeps. they end up getting separated by one of the dads when they’re being too loud and/or fighting over the snacks mason has already devoured.

declan rice - waits for mason no matter what, packs extra snacks because he knows for a fact mason will (and does) eat most of his. is slightly scared to sleep on the plane bc of all the things they do to wake each other. he and mason somehow end up with each other’s passports and nearly don’t get through the border. defo has passive aggressive fights with ben over who gets to sit with mason and declan plays the 'I've known you longer' card that gets mason every time.

jack grealish - gets upset when ben and declan fight over sitting next to mason because chilly is supposed to be his bestie so he goes in a huff that hendo has to sort. 100% always has his passport in the front pouch of his bag (put there by hendo) so that when they get to security and he starts patting himself down freaking out and thinking he’s left it somewhere, his dad Hendo can tell him exactly where it is. annoys trippier because he drags his heels everywhere he walks and is constantly found asking; “hey has anyone seen my hairband” when it’s on his wrist.

ben chilwell - very easy going yet simultaneously anxious traveler. does not like how late mason leaves every, is NOT fond of how little he packs and will get antsy when take off time is near and people are still mulling around. he also gets annoyed when people ask him to borrow stuff but will never outwardly show it. he packs for every eventuality and believes everyone should be doing the same. films everyone, is low-key everyone’s favourite to sit with.

phil foden - gets upset when he’s told he not allowed to do keepy ups on the plane, absolutely will not have anything but a window seat, gets funny looks going through security and people often mistake him for much younger than he is. doesn’t mind who he sits next to as long as it’s not someone boring. is generally not a problem for The Travelling Dads except he's easily distracted and is susceptible to being left behind as he is smol plus mason and declan are hard work for kieran.

marcus rashford - oh my days when he’s alone he’s so quiet and then whenever jesse is there as well the two of them are insufferable. between mason and dec and jesse and rashy, jordan is glad for alicia keys through those noise cancelling headphones. will get annoyed with jesse and they WILL end up hurting each other and making up multiple time.

jesse lingard - so fully of energy at all times and nobody can figure out why. annoys rashy when he’s trying to sleep and that’s when they always end up in fights that nearly get them separated by harry maguire who is very used to putting up with their antics anyway. tries to convince them all to learn his celebration and spends the whole time messaging marcus and pouting when his bestie isn't there with him.

john stones - him and Kyle are basically joined at the hip as they r best friends. they always pre-anticipated and planned to sit together on the plane. he has a sixth sense and will physically be able to feel it when they lose phil (was an issue for the time he wasn't in the squad and John was like oh my god we've lost phil!) only to realise he wasn't ever with them. is very protective and always worries about forgetting things that he definitely has.

kyle walker - rarely acts his age but is kind of levelled out by john and can sometimes be very irritating in the same way that people get irritated with jesse because they're very loud. can often be found next to john and reassuring everyone he's faster than Raz. will forget things he define tally needs which pisses off John (because he asked a million times to make sure he had his boots) and gives chilly so much second-hand stress that he gets chest pains.

trent alexander-arnold - probably wants to sit next to hendo but he completely refuses (and sometimes feel guilty for it but he needs his alicia keys alone time). is quite quiet in comparison to some of the other younger ones but is equally as forgetful. will fume about the 'inflation' of the meal deal prices in the airport whsmiths and despite knowing he probs shouldn't cos international rivals, he spends a lot of time texting andy robertson.
