zayne domestic fluff brainrot again except this time, it's you who comes home to him, and he finally gets to pamper and serve you the way you always do for him.

you're greeted by a warm waft of air the moment you open the door. the entire apartment is filled with the smell of your favorite dishes and you know instantly that, for the first time in weeks, zayne is home before you.

you hastily take off your coat and shoes, rushing past your cat sprawled in the middle of the hallway and to the kitchen where you find zayne. he's got an apron loosely tied around his waist. it takes you a second to realize that it's your gift from last week, the one that came in bright baby blue with ruffled, lace edges and an embroidered snowman dead center.

"it reminded me of you!" is what you had said when you handed it to him over dinner.

and he had thanked you with a feathery kiss on your knuckles, "i suppose i look a bit like this snowman, no?”

it still warms your heart, oddly enough, despite the fact that zayne has never been one to turn down any of your gifts, no matter how trivial or silly they were. he still has the keychain you gave him secured on the handle of his bag. the ceramic white kitten you got from your trip out of town five years ago sits comfortably on the desk at his office. one cutout panel from a photo strip of you and your cat is tucked inside an antique heart-shaped locket you found in some thrift store downtown. and there's not a moment where that locket isn't on him, one way or another, hung around his neck or buried in the safety of his pockets during surgery.

he adores you, and by extension every little trinket or piece of clothing you decide to give him.

the moment zayne turns down the heat on the stove is when you decide to make your presence known. you take light, careful steps as you walk towards him.

you wrap your arms around his waist, hands settling over his stomach.

and either he knows you've been lingering near the kitchen for a while or you weren't as sneaky as you thought, because he's not startled with your sudden arrival. he merely hums, as if to acknowledge your presence, before immediately melting against your touch. he takes one of your hands in his, the one that's not holding on to the ladle, and brings it closer to his lips.

"welcome home." he presses a kiss over your palm, absentmindedly tracing the lines with his finger. "dinner's almost ready. you should go and wash up.”

"this is a lot, zayne. thank you." you nuzzle a cheek against his back, trying to bring yourself impossibly closer to him as if you aren't already soul to soul at this very moment. "can't i at least set the table? wanna help you.”

"don't worry about it, my love." zayne turns down the stove completely. he faces you for the first time this evening, and you try not to be taken aback at how he looks at you. a bright gaze that makes him look like he’s in a trance as he’s staring at you. his eyes track the few strands of hair that manage to escape from behind your ear. he’s quick to move them out of the way. from there, his hand naturally gravitates towards your cheek where his thumb drags across smooth skin. he digs into the flesh with little pressure. "let me take care of you tonight.”

"if you insist.”

you can't help but laugh at how he sends you off. he’s ushering you to go to your shared bedroom, to get out of the clothes you’ve spent your entire day in and freshen up, but his hand stays firmly clasped around yours. it takes a few weak tugs and a lot of coaxing, of dragging out his name and using every possible pet name that comes to your mind for him to finally let you go.

when you return to your dining area after a quick shower, half of the lights are turned off. there's a set of three candles in the middle of the table lined with the placemats you only ever bring out when your parents are visiting.

zayne notices your arrival as he’s in the middle of placing two bowls of soup near your plates. he pulls out your chair, revealing the small bouquet of red chrysanthemums resting on it.

“for you.”

you’re briefly surprised as you take the flowers in your hands. he moves closer until his palm finds the small of your back.

"if i didn't know any better, i'd say you're planning on popping the question tonight.” you tease.

zayne tries to hide the pink dusting his cheeks by looking the other way. “can’t a man spoil his beloved?”

“oh, of course he can.” you reach for his face, taking his jaw by your hand. gently and with little resistance, you turn his face towards yours. “and his beloved couldn’t be more grateful. really, zayne, you didn’t have to do all of this.”

“i got off work early. when you told me you were working overtime, i thought it was the least i can do.”

“then let’s not keep the food waiting.” you smile.

you and zayne eat in an almost complete absence of silence as you urge him to talk about his day. and you find that it was pretty uneventful for the most part, except for the little girl he met in the hospital’s cafeteria.

“her name's mika.” he says between sips of red wine. “she’s six and she owns a cat who's three years older than her.”

you hum, motioning for him to continue.

“i met her little brother too. his name's louis, but he doesn't like being called that because it sounds too much like the name of the girl he apparently hates in school.”

“wow,” you breathe, “look at you, doctor zayne. akso hospital’s world-renowned chief cardiac surgeon and speaker to all toddlers.”

he lets out a low laugh, “i gave them some of the macarons you baked.”

“that’s adorable! did they like it?”

"when they asked who made them, i said they were baked by someone i hold near to my heart." zayne nods as he wipes the edge of lips with a napkin. "they said i should make sure to give that person lots of love."

"oh?" you lean forward, reaching across the table and past the plates of food to find his hand. "i think they might be right, doctor zayne."

zayne chuckles, choosing to indulge you. “i think so too.”

“meet me in the bedroom after i clean up?” he stands up, moving to stack the empty plates on top of each other. but you decide to beat him to it, swiftly taking the plates in your hand and out of his reach.

"leave this to me, love."

zayne frowns. there’s a slight crease on his forehead as he tries—but ultimately fails to protest. “but-”

“no buts. you’ve done enough for me tonight.”

but if there’s one thing about zayne that drives you mad, it’s that he knows when to use your weaknesses against you. he knows which parts of your bare skin to touch, what to say, how to say it. he knows that his hand sitting dangerously low on your back makes it hard for you to think of anything else. he knows that him leaning down to speak directly to your ear, hot breath fanning across cold skin, is enough to cloud your judgement.

“how about we do it together, then?”

bastard.

“fine…” you relent, knees feeling a little weak.

you two work in the kitchen like a perfectly well-oiled machine for the next half hour. he transfers all the leftovers into containers you plan on reheating over the week while you begin to scrub the plates clean.

"perhaps i did make too much…" he remarks at one point. it pulls a laugh out of you, and you bring your soap-covered hand to poke him in the cheek.

"cute." you mutter under your breath.

as the moon draws closer to its peak, you find yourself tucked in zayne’s arms, hiding under the sheets. the silk adds a layer of privacy, an added solace to the already peaceful four walls of your bedroom. and as you drift further into the land of your dreams, you think there's nothing else that could possibly be better than spending the rest of your life with zayne.

and maybe he has been sitting on the question for a while now. maybe he does have a tiny box tucked at the very back of his drawer, just waiting for the right moment to be worn on your ring finger.

*❆ White Elephant: Jututsu Kaisen ❆*

What happens when you select their white elephant gift? *This is absolute crack and in no way did I put any consideration into where in time it occurs/what side you’re on/why all of these people/curses somehow got along well enough for a holiday gathering together. **yes, i’m very aware of how out of context the header image is

Gojo: This one is wrapped… interestingly. It doesn’t look bad by any means, the shiny white paper is just folded in a way that feels like it should defy physics. Upon opening, a small strange object falls out. You’ve never seen anything quite like it and its presence weighs heavily on you. You’re about 90% sure that thing is cursed beyond reason and there’s absolutely no way you’re bringing it home with you.

Did he just forget and pick up the first thing he saw on his desk? Absolutely.

Itadori: You selected this one because you can tell someone put so much love into wrapping it. Sure, it looks a little sloppy with the twisted ribbon and fold marks on the cute snowman printed paper, but A+ for effort. When you open it, you find a silly coffee mug filled with random odds and ends. A cute keychain. Human Earthworm action figure. And an assortment of stickers. Overall, a pretty thoughtful gift.

Todo: With the nice reusable gift bag, this one caught your eye. Worst case, you still get a cool bag. Once you open it, you peel back the layers of protective paper to find - a framed photo of Nobuko Takada. What else did you expect? 

Maki steals it from you three turns later.

Geto: The wrapping is immaculate. Crisply folded dark blue paper. Symmetrical gold bow on top. 10/10. It’s perfect. Of course, you had to choose this one. Peeling back the paper and digging into the box, a small glowing ball rolls out. In what he thought would be the funniest inside joke ever (coming from someone who doesn’t joke often), Geto left the curse you had all fought together for you to keep in a nice little orb. How sweet. There’s also a religious pamphlet and invitation to his cult’s gatherings. 

Jogo: The messy wrapping leaves something to be desired, but this one has a presence. When you peel back the green paper, you discover…one of sukuna’s fingers.

This does not feel like it should fit within the $25 spending limit, but whatever.

Nanami: This envelope almost went unnoticed until you saw it poking out from behind another gift. When you open it, you find a gift card for $25. Low effort but certainly useful.

Yuta: A small silver box with a cute blue bow. When you open it, you find a beautiful locket. That's from Yuta. Inside is a photo of Yuta. That's from Rika.

Maki: Green paper with a big red ribbon. This gift looks exactly like someone mimicked the most stereotypical Christmas wrapping they could manage (she did.) It’s hefty for its size. When you open it, you find a large bottle of Pinesol, a scrubbing brush, and some gloves with a note that ‘some of you need to pull your weight  more around here.’

Megumi: The wrapping is nice. Simple. Minimalistic. A red paper so dark it's nearly black. When you open the box, you find an assortment of new pens, pencils, lighters, and a phone charger. He wanted to introduce a surplus to the group in the hopes that now everyone will stop stealing his. (If you can’t tell, the Zenin clan isn’t so big on Christmas.)

Nobara: The gift bag is cute. A nice bow, shiny star covered paper. Great choice. When you pull out the tissue paper and look inside, you find a hammer. Also, a holiday scented candle - gotta cover all the bases.

Panda: Crinkled snowflake print wrapping paper and a few bits of fur in the tape holding it together, but overall something really draws you to this gift. When you open it, you know immediately it’s from Panda. One of those packaged gag gifts you’ll be able to use or re-gift next year for a laugh.

Choso: This is the largest box. It's wrapped up in candy cane patterned paper with big holes stabbed through the top and sides. "Don't shake it!" he screams from across the room when you pick it up. Ripping through the already mangled paper and opening the cratered box, you find a tiny stray kitten with a cute red bow tied around its neck in place of a collar. Awwweee.

Inumaki: This one is larger than most and surprisingly well wrapped in cute santa hat Pikachu paper. When you open it, you find the absolute weirdest garden gnome you’ve ever seen. It’s wonky, in an endearing/funny way. You genuinely wonder where it came from.

How tf did he wrap it so well with only o-[SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER]

Mahito: A transfigured human. It’s not wrapped or anything. He didn’t really understand the game.

Shoko: A cute gold box with a red ribbon tied around it. It feels lightweight but you’re sure there’s something good in there. When you untie it and peel off the paper, you find a pack of cigarettes and a scribbled note that says ‘happy holidays.’

Toji: A crumpled paper bag with the top rolled over. It’s the only one left and you’re feeling adventurous. Opening it, you find a roll of toilet paper (which you return to the bathroom from which it went missing.)

***Sukuna declined to participate. He says his mere presence is a gift to all of you mortals and you’ll be lucky if he graces you with that.

In the end:

The toilet paper has been returned and Gojo confiscated the transfigured human and finger. Well, he tried to. Sukuna's mouth appeared on Yuji's hand and ate both while they were being passed across the room.

This leaves us with:

Gojo's creepy cursed object (he swears it's safe)

Yuji's cute mug/Human Earthworm nicknacks

Todo's framed idol photo (Maki is glaring daggers at you for even considering it)

Geto's curse orb and religious materials (Gojo stole this one to take it out of rotation so they might be off-limits too)

Nanami's $25 Applebees gift card

A locket with Yuta's photo glued inside

Maki's cleaning supplies

Megumi's box of frequently borrowed items (each of which have now been transformed by Mahito to look like small people)

Nobara's hammer. And candle.

Panda's gag gift (Toge is trying to hide this and not make eye contact in the hopes that you will forget it exists)

Choso's kitten that everyone is keeping away from Mahito (Megumi already named it so good luck prying it out of his hands)

Toge's quirky gnome

Shoko's cigarettes (minus the two Nanami already smoked after stealing a lighter before Mahito could transfigure it)

You have one more steal left, what are you going home with?

The Twelve Days of a Possible Family Christmas

Good evening, everyone. I hope everyone is doing well this holiday season. And since it is the holiday season, I'd thought I bust out one of my old Christmas-related one-shots. It is titled "Twelve Days of A Possible Family Christmas." The description about it is...well...exactly what it says on the tin. It takes place about five months prior to the events of Graduation.

(DISCLAIMER: Please note this was done in 2018 and it is not for the current KP Winter Fanfic contest)

From the Desk of Sharper

With the holidays going on, I decided that, for Whitem's winter story competition, that I'm gonna do a one-shot songfic this time around. And since there weren't many last year, this could fill the void. The story is that, as per a Possible Family Christmas tradition, the whole Possible family sings the "Twelve Days of Christmas" but with a KP Twist to it.

It is set in Season 4, and, yes, Kim and Ron are still together. It takes place 5 months before the alien invasion.

The fanfic is approved for all general audiences.

Kim Possible, characters and settings, are created by Schooley and McCorkle and (c) by Disney.

The Twelve Days of Christmas lyrics are in the public domain and, thus, allowed on FFnet.

"The Twelve Days of A Possible Family Christmas"

December 24, 2006. 5pm, Possible household, Middleton.

James and Ann Possible were prepping up in time for the festivities in the kitchen. The house was all decorated with the help of the Tweebs. They rerouted the grid so that Middleton would not suffer any more rolling blackouts. Nana, Slim and Joss were all also in town, visiting. The Christmas turkey was baking in the oven and the props used for the skits were out in the living room.

It was the 17th Annual Possible Family Christmas Eve.

James took a sip of the eggnog that he had made with his machine. "The eggnog tastes as good as always, dear!"

James was wearing an ugly Christmas sweater with a snowman, brown shoes, and khakis while Ann was wearing denim overalls with both straps hooked over her green sweat, a pearl necklace and black boots.

Ann grinned, "Oh, James!"

She gave him a peck on the cheek and asked, "Can you add a little more cinnamon in it?"

James replied with a smile, "You know I will!"

He also made two more cups of eggnog as well for his most favorite guests.

"Check on Kim and Ron in the living room! We're about to sing carols!" Ann suggested.

"I'll tell them!" James replied as he went into the den where the crimefighting duo were at while holding the cups of eggnog in his hand. Luckily, since the villains were on a two-week truce, there were no missions to be had. Wade was at his parents, celebrating their family Christmas.

They were watching the promos for the "Six Tasks of Snowman Hank", which was to come later on tonight.

Ron was in a long-sleeved button-down dress shirt and baggy blue jeans that was showing off his pink heart boxers with a belt to hold them up. He completed this outfit with a simple gold chain R medallion and blue shoes.

Kim, in the meantime, was in baggy Club Banana denim overalls with the left strap hooked and the right strap undone. The undone side of the bib was flopping over her red plaid shirt, chunky Timberland-style boots, the choker and gold necklace behind her neck and the two chain pendants and silver locket Ron gave her behind her shirt. The CB ladies watch, two rings on both her fingers and large gold hoop earrings completed the jewelry department. She wore her hair in a ponytail and had purple eyeshadow, blush, makeup, red lipstick, and red fingernails. She was twirling her harmonica on the sofa.

Rufus, on the other hand, was curled up in a ball, sleeping right next to the Christmas tree.

"Evening, Kimmie-cub!" James said with a smile. He put Kim and Ron's cups of eggnog to the side of the end table since the carols came first.

"Evening, Mr. DrP!" Ron replied.

"Evening, Dad! Everything going OK for this year?" Kim asked.

"So far, we're on schedule!" James added before turning a suspicious eye towards Ron. "And, Ronald, pull your pants up because Nana is on her way with Slim and Joss! I hope you hadn't forgotten what happened two months ago with the whole hip-hop dating incident."

Ron pulled his pants up and tightened his belt so that only the rear of his boxers were seen.

"Thank you, Ronald." James said with satisfaction that his mom would not faint at seeing the blonde sidekick being Mr. Droopy-Drawers.

Nana, Slim, and Joss all came to the house an hour later. They were ready to sing the carols.

The Possibles all grabbed their microphones. Slim was behind the video camera.

"You got it recording, Slim?" James asked.

"This camera doo-hickey is runnin' like a gold-plated watch!" Slim replied. The red light was counting down towards recording.

"Since Ron is our favorite non-Possible family guest..." Ann suggested, "...I move that he will lead us in song!"

Kim held her harmonica right in her hands.

"Thank you, Mrs. Dr. P!" Ron said, blushing, "I've been around KP since our very first Christmas in Pre-K, so it's a wonderful honor to lead the carols this year! And I found the perfect tune!"

The instrumental tune to 12 Days of Christmas played on the boombox, courtesy of Joss. Kim started to play on her harmonica.

When the tune ended, the whole entire house exploded with applause.

"I knew you had it in you, Ron!" Kim exclaimed as she embraced Ron in her arms.

"From the guy that sang a naked mole rat, it was no big!" Ron grinned as the two kissed. "Now let's watch some Snowman Hank!"

But Ron then tripped on the carpet and the plastic cups of eggnog went off the end table, flying through the air. They both landed on Ron's face.

Kim couldn't help but giggle at her BFBF. Rufus woke up and sniffed the eggnog. He rushed over there and licked it off his owner's face.

"Ronald, you know you're going to have to clean this up, right?" James asked, glaring at the clumsy kid.

"Yes, Mr. DrP." Ron sighed as he was going to get the paper towels to clean the mess up.

The Possibles celebrated their family Christmas. It, however, turned out to be their last peaceful one.

THE END

[coolgirl32]

What they do during Christmas. I know it's been a while since I did this but I hope you all enjoy it also no copywriting as you know I'm going to write about the X-Men as usual

Dog logan 🤠🐶

Before he met you he would spend his Christmas drinking whiskey and being lonely and acting like the Grinch and Scrooge. but when he met you his heart grew three times bigger (pun intended) and now he's much more excited about Christmas than ever I'm talking about him putting whiskey in his eggnog wearing a Santa suit for you on sexy time decorating his cabin for Christmas he's even more excited since you and him had your daughter and he's very excited to put her on her little Christmas onesie that said baby's first Christmas which is so cute by the way he loves Christmas and he wants his daughter to have a really good childhood and Christmas not the one he had when he was a little kid because he never had a good Christmas as a child he feels like he can be a better father than his dad ever was. Christmas photos are a must he will take several Christmas photos of you and everyone else. I also think he would put on country Christmas songs or Christmas carols and sing along.

Wolverine 🐺

He didn't really like the holidays because of so much sadness in his life that's until you came into his life he's a little less grumpy nowadays on Christmas but still being himself there would be snowball fights sometimes I also think he would put Christmas lights out on the roof because he doesn't want you getting hurt I also think he would help you decorate the tree watching Christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate is one of the greatest things to do with wolverine among other things. Spending time with his kids is also a great thing too cuz family has to stick together you know I also think he could sing Christmas songs only in front of you no one else can know about it 🤣 I think he'd be very curious on what you'd want for Christmas but he would always try to get you the best things like a good sweater uggs and some jewelry I also think he would want to spend time with you on Christmas nothing too fancy or anything.

Soul Creed 🦁

He and his sister only spend Christmas together just the two of them cuz when they were little kids their Christmas wasn't really a good one but ever since you came into his life he doesn't feel like Christmas is sad anymore he feels like Christmas is happy because he gets to spend it with his sister and you the love of his life. I also think that he would get you something very special like a locket with a picture of you and him and I also think he would get his sister something special too I also think that he might make you and his sister and him some hot chocolate and watch Christmas movies like Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer or Frosty the snowman I also think he would help you and his sister out with decorating the whole house and also having a Christmas dinner together. It warms up his heart that he has finally found someone that actually loves him for who he is and that there is someone that gets along with his sister deep down inside he knows that he doesn't deserve you but you remind him that he is loved and that you'll always love him for who he is.

Omega red

Before he met you he didn't really understand nor liked Christmas because when he was a child he never had any happiness in his life now as an adult he was even more unhappy that's until he met you now he's happy and he feels warm inside. His icy cold heart melted you are going to have to explain to him how to celebrate Christmas because when he was a kid him and his family never celebrated Christmas he was a little confused at first but with a Little help from you he finally got the hang of it he didn't know what to get you at first until he saw what you really wanted you were looking at this really cool awesome book that you had your eye on for a couple of days now so without you knowing he bought it and wrapped it up for you and when Christmas day came and you opened it you were surprised when you open up his present however he was even more happy it was a book he had once when he was a little kid he hugged you and thanked you and gave you a wonderful passionate kiss you too then drink hot chocolate and watch movies.

Victor Creed 🐯🦁(I'm using my OC)

When Victor was a young boy he never really understood about Christmas his father was a drunk and Christmas for him wasn't really that happy skip to many many years later she came into his life Victor is very happy with his wife Jacqulyn and is very excited about Christmas because he gets suspended with her when they eventually had their daughter his life became even more brighter and more happier and Christmas was even more joyful and exciting he decorates the house with his wife and make sure that everything is very fun he also buys his daughter a little onesie that says baby girls first Christmas to keep the memories he takes photos I think he would call his little brother and sister and everyone he knows and loves I also think that he would get his wife something beautiful like jewelry a beautiful picture frame with a beautiful family photo of him his wife and daughter while his wife gets him something like a new watch or something he'd like.

I hope everybody will have a wonderful Christmas and what are your thoughts on my post and please don't be afraid to request any fanfic

[macknshift]

doing these ALL rn but i need to break them up bc it would be so incredibly long if i do not SO! here is 25-18 (i'm doing them backwards for reasons unknown LOL)

— day 25. WHAT'S THE CHRISTMAS DECOR IN YOUR DR LIKE? minimalist and chic, with subtle gold and white tones? over-the-top with a ten-foot tree covered in every ornament imaginable? or maybe it’s just simple and cosy with vibey fairy lights strung across every corner of the house?

so i'm actually not staying at my dorm/apartment for christmas BUT BUT BUT! we decorate THE SHIT out of this place. it's small and definitely not allowed but mj and i smuggle in a tree. it's on wheels so we can hide it in my room whenever the RAs show up LMFAOOO and even though we have a bunch of money in between us we go to thrift stores to find really fun and well-loved christmas decorations. i have a snowman collection going atm. (i also splurged on THEEEE jellycat christmas tree bc i need it so badly y'all) BUT! i do christmas with my bf / bff's family (they're siblings so. idk which is more important when it comes to labelling family lol) in new jersey and GOOD GOD do they go all out. mj and leo's mom is reeeeally big on christmas for some reason and needs the entire place practically gift wrapped. it's all really themed, and since the snow there (they live on the shore) is kind of none existent there's fake snow, a themed north pole in the backyard for her grandchildren, the whole damn nine yards. their dad on the other hand is kind of lowkey on christmas (note that he's kind of a whore and they probably have other siblings other than diana, their older sister) but can and will buy an extravagant christmas tree every. single. year.

— day 24. WHAT’S THE FIRST GIFT YOU’RE UNWRAPPING IN YOUR DR? is it sentimental, like a handwritten letter or a locket? something extravagant, like designer shoes or rare books? who’s it from, and does it make your heart skip a beat?

my first christmas gifts i open are from my mom and dad since i have gifted them a trip to the bahamas for christmas. (also my little brother but teddy is literally 12 years old this kid has no concept of what to get his 19 year old older sister) i sent them on vacation with some of my youtube/tiktok $$$ (i'm an influencer for funsies even though my family (mainly my grandparents) are rich enough as it is lol) and as they dropped teddy off to my nuna and bamp, we did a gift swap at their house! my dad always gets me weird (but very practical gifts) and got me a pocket knife. kind of concerning but it is pink so? B+ for effort? (note that previous gifts have included a dictionary, a blinged out children's catholic bible, and a mixing board, so honestly? on brand for my dad.) my mom, however, puts a tad bit more care into the whole 'what do i get my teenage daughter' question and gets me a victoria's secret pj set every year! she also managed to find this black and white polka dot dress of my grandmother's from the 60s that i absolutely loved as a little girl. granted i'm a whole 5'9 and my little italian grandmother is 4'10, so it fits more like a baby doll (i wear fun patterned tights and shorts so it usually ends up working out) which is probably one of my favorite gifts i get! teddy found a boxed dvd set of community on ebay and i love him dearly for it. my nuna and bamp (who are lowkey very mad i'm not there for christmas but whatever) got me a brand new ski suit (they're trying to get me to go to europe with them, it will not work. i cannot ski for the life of me.) and tickets to wherever i want to go, as long as i vlog it for them since they're not really good at travelling anymore. (i think i might go to tokyo to visit family!)

— day 23. WHO ARE YOU DECORATING THE TREE WITH IN YOUR DR? are they a perfectionist, placing every ornament just right? or do they turn it into a total mess, throwing tinsel everywhere while making you laugh until you can’t breathe?

since our christmas tree is on wheels and we have two cats (that i love sooo dearly, do not get me wrong LMFAOOO) our christmas tree is lowkey pretty barren. i put a bunch of those craft store cinnamon pinecones in the tree to kind of spruce it up and mj makes popcorn garlands (which were, in hindsight, not a good idea. nova and luna ate them IMMEDIATELY lmfao) but i find these little light balls while online shopping that look like little stars in attempt to make it look less sad and barren. we do, however, employ leo to put the star on the top (mainly because he's the tallest, but apparently it was a tradition for leo to do it every year at home lol)

— day 22. WHAT WINTER ACTIVITY ARE YOU DOING IN YOUR DR? do you hit the slopes for skiing in some glamorous european mountain town? go ice skating under fairy lights? or are you more into the quiet charm of building snowmen and sipping hot cocoa by the fire?

even though my nuna and bamp would much prefer me road tripping to their house (it's less than an hour - i really have no excuse) leo and i take a train to new york city for a quick weekend trip. his family is so incredibly rich that they have an apartment in the upper east side (despite living in new jersey pretty much all of the year) so we get the apartment to ourselvesssssss and get to do a classic new york christmas which is super exciting. we go to see the nutcracker and the rockettes (trust! i will be on that stage at some point!) and go ice skating. i fall flat on my ass the entire time to the point that leo, the hockey player, gets dragged down with me. i think he just feels bad for me that i'm the only one falling. he takes me to all of the fancy restaurants (and the raisin' canes flagship god i love their chicken) and honest to god the weekend feels like i'm in some kind of rom-com montage like it's That Good y'all.

— day 21. WHAT CHRISTMAS TREATS ARE YOU BAKING IN YOUR DR? are you rolling out gingerbread dough and decorating them with icing? baking buttery mince pies or indulgent yule logs? who’s helping, and who’s sneaking bites when you’re not looking?

i am NOT the apartment baker. i cook mostly, so mj is the baker of the household lol. it's definitely a learning curve to bake, so i usually just ask her what she's baking and make some kind of meal that pairs with it well. i steal a piece of every damn thing she makes and in return make some gourmet meals! some of the baked goods she makes includes these raspberry cinnamon rolls that i think i could eat more than physically possible of, a brookie the size of my torso, and homemade apple pie which, Oh My God hits so bad my mouth is watering typing ab it lmfaoooo

— day 20. WHAT’S THE MOST SILLY GIFT YOU’RE GIVING SOMEONE IN YOUR DR? is it something meaningful, like a handpicked vintage record player? a magical experience, like a surprise trip to the northern lights? or something totally fun and random that makes them laugh? 

i think the silliest is for my little brother, teddy. he's 12, like i mentioned, and he's absolutely TERRIBLE to shop for. like, grade a awful. he's got interests everywhere all across the board and finds clothes lame so. every year i make these little "tickets" that work as passes to anything he wants. it's like a gift certificate sort of, but he can redeem it for literally anything. he can ask for anything from a $1,000 lego set to a plane ticket somewhere. like ANYTHING. but since he's getting old it has become 3 with set parameters since he usually bleeds me DRY. (last year he used one of his tickets to buy a $3,000 watch. he doesn't even wear it - he keeps it in a glass display box which is BONKERS but whatever) the parameters are; 1 experience, 1 item, 1 person. when i say person, it could be a concert, or a movie premiere, or my modelling agency reaching out to get him to a fashion show. it's the silliest parameters bc i know logically. he has something up his sleeve. if ur curious, his choices are;

EXPERIENCE: the MOMI (museum of the moving image) Jim Henson Experience. it's a really niche thing but my brother began watching all of the muppet movies and now is completely obsessed w puppets. (we also saw saturday night, which has jim henson & his 'muppets' featured on snl)

ITEM: the lego star wars venator class republic attack cruiser set. last year i was roped into buying BOTH the millenium falcon AND the at-at, which used up 2 of his tickets. so. good investment. (NOTE: this is also practically a gift for leo bc he's OBSESSED!!!!!!! with legos. and star wars. (the first day we meet he's wearing a lego star wars shirt. like this is SERIOUS))

PERSON: he will not tell me yet. this worries me.

— day 19. WHAT’S YOUR DR CHRISTMAS OUTFIT? are you dressed in something glamorous, like a red satin gown and sparkling jewels? or maybe you’re keeping it cute and cosy with a knit jumper, wool socks, and a flowy skirt? what’s the vibe?

the problem is with this is that i fully expect to be in pjs the entire day, bc leo forgot to warn me (love him dearly but he's so rich that i think his expectations are a bit…different from mine) so i kind of just plan on wearing these pjs that the scotts (leo and mj's parents) get me. i obviously have packed a bunch of outfits but i didn't realize they were going to do family photos or anything to that effect lol BUT! i have this green cashmere dress that i was lowkey planning on wearing to a holiday party of some kind but! desperate times come to desperate (but very stylish) measures! it's a tad short (which is why the plan was for a party) but i look super cute so idc it works! i have a bunch of other outfits too but the plan ends up working GOD BLESS 🙏🏻🙏🏻 below is the dress, the hair, and these really nice wine colored tights that match the belt and the heels (use imagination on the belt lol) 

— day 18. WHAT CHRISTMAS SONG IS THE SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR DR HOLIDAY? is it classic and nostalgic, like silent night or have yourself a merry little christmas? or something upbeat and fun, like last christmas or jingle bell rock?

so. usually it's 'is it new year's yet?' by sabrina carpenter. (or 'make it to christmas' by alessia cara) bc before leo i am #chronicallysingle LMFAOOO every. single. relationship prior to leo has never made it to the holiday season which is sooo criminal omg. but now! i have my yummy man! so. this year it's 'underneath the tree' by kelly clarkson. i also sing it at the scott family christmas party (his grandma, nancy which. side note. IS NANCY FREAKING SINATRA. AND HE DOESN'T WARN ME. Anyways. loooooves it which i am very, very thankful for.)

A friend of mine (who refuses to use YT tutorials) recently reached the waterfall in his first Undertale genocide route. I typed him up a guide that ended up being longer than I expected. Another friend told me to post it so

Undertale Genocide Guide (Waterfall and onwards)

If you haven’t used the butterscotch pie yet, SAVE IT. It’s a full heal and should be used for sans. 

Okay I don’t know if you’ve found the snowman yet. He lives someone up in the path to snowdin and he’ll ask you to take a part of him to the surface. You can take up to three pieces and each gives you 45 hp. You can use this for Undyne if you REALLY need it but I suggest saving it for sans. 

For Undyne, you should the cinnamon bunnies. You can steal them from the shop in snowdin and they heal 22 (I think) hp. If they run out, use bicycles. You can eat them twice and each times heals 11. 

Behind the waterfall that you see when you first enter the waterfall, you can find the tutu. This increases your defense. HOWEVER, for the fight with undyne I recommend buying the cloudy glasses from Gerson’s shop. They give less defense than the tutu but they increase your invincibility frames. Because Undyne’s attacks are so rapid, this helps a lot. 

The cloudy glasses also slow the effects of poison when you fight sans. 

You can find the ballet shoes in a patch of grass in the waterfall. They deal the most damage of any item you’ve gotten so far. Use those to fight undyne. 

You can find most waterfall monsters just by walking around so don’t worry about encounters. 

Memorize Undyne’s arrow attacks. Golden arrows don’t need to be hit the first time. They’ll automatically move to a different position. Sometimes she’ll turn you red. In one of those attacks, a bunch of arrows will appear in a pattern and attach you. Go in circles around them and you can no hit this attack. Only heal if you have less than 20 hp left. 

In the hotlands, most areas will be roped off. This includes some items as well. All puzzles will be deactivated. 

First, you’ll enter Alphys’s home. You can go into her fridge to get the instant noodles. These heal 90 hp. Save them for sans. 

You’ll get regular random encounters. There’s no need to actively seek encounters yet. You’ll one shot muffet. 

To the bottom of one of the puzzles (it has arrows that send you over chasms with hot air) you can find the frying pan. You this for the sans fight. It allows each item that heals you to give 5 extra hp. 

Since sans’s attack and defense are both one, you don’t need stronger weapons or armor. The cloudy glasses and frying pan just give the most side benefits. Don’t bother with the knife and locket. They don’t provide any benefit. 

When you reach MTT hotel, the guy will still be there so you can’t steal. Buy the steak shaped like Mettaton’s face and save it. Buy the best healing items you can afford after. 

The core is where you’ll get most of your encounters. There’s an area that has a bridge where enemies will be defending a button. The button doesn’t matter because the lasers are deactivated, but they do give encounters. They’re pretty hard but doable. 

There’s a bridge on the way to the elevator to fight mettaton. Do the same thing from the snowdin bridge to get the remaining encounters. 

You’ll one shot mettaton. 

Organize your inventory. Equip the glasses and pan. Next, keep your weakest healing items (cinnamon bunnies) in the front. Next put the snowman pieces if you have any left. Then the items from the MTT hotel. Then the noodles. Then the pie. In the fight, you’re gonna wanna use your weakest items first before using the stronger ones toward the end. 

Ignore the knife and locket. They don’t really help in battle. One time I picked the locket up and dropped it and it said “You threw the heart locket on the floor like the trash it is” lol 

Flowey is gonna monologue at you on the way. A LOT. Just get through it. 

If you die to sans once, he’ll start prematurely the second time. The attack will start after “the birds are singing” the second time you fight him. 

The only way to progress his dialogue and move on in the fight is to hit him. Once again, only heal if you have less than 20 hp. Do not check or spare him. 

Memorize his attacks. 

He’ll give you the opportunity to spare him half way through. Use this chance to heal. If you do accept this and spare him, he’ll kill you. 

Eventually, he’ll put bones on the menu. Go into your items to avoid them until you can safely reach attack. 

The poison doesn’t last forever. 

He’ll let you know when his special attack is coming. Before this, he’ll prep one really hard attack. 

He slams you against walls, sends you through a bunch of bones, slams you some more, and then there’s a circle of blasters. In the circle, stay as close to the middle as possible. Ideally, use the pie just before this attack. 

After this attack, he’ll begin rapidly slamming you against the walls. This means that you’ve defeated him. 

While he falls asleep, don’t move. If you hit the edge of the box, he wakes up to teleport you back to the center. 

Once he’s fully asleep (you’ll see the Z’s) push the edge of the box to the attack button. 

Then you’re done :) Just keep moving

Side note: to the right of the throne room, you can find the coffins. Select the coffin and you’ll get the dialogue “its as comfortable as it looks” I just think that’s funny.

A Very Prompty Christmas Day 1: Advent Calendar

It was Eileen who brought the advent calendar into the Bunker.

She had spent the last few days working a case in an antique store in Kansas City, and the proprietor had been so utterly grateful when Eileen had banished the vengeful spirit that had been attached to a very expensive locket that he had given Eileen her pick of the store as a token of his appreciation.

Why Eileen had picked the advent calendar out of everything, including (she added, with a sidelong glance at Sam) some beautiful rings, she couldn’t quite explain. It had been tucked away in the corner of the store, its paint dulled with a layer of dust, but she had been drawn to it, as though it was meant to be hers.

Dean felt his spidey-sense tingle when she said that. No good could come of that, Dean was certain. He had a lifetime of evidence to support being wary of that little voice that whispered pick me up, put me on, take me with you when you looked at an object.

The calendar certainly looked harmless enough. It was wooden, and built to look like a child’s drawing of a house: square at the bottom, triangular at the top. The back was blank, while the front was decorated to look like a snow covered Tudor house: red brick on bottom with a deep green front door, two large picture windows either side. Tucked under the eaves of the gabled roof were tiny dormer windows, and Christmas wreaths lined the bottom of the roof.  The door, the wreaths, the large picture windows, even the snowman by the front door and the toboggan propped up against the front of the house all had small golden numbers on them, one to twenty four. None of the tiny ‘doors’, however, had handles, or catches, or any way Dean could see to open them.

“Maybe it’s broken,” Dean offered, straightening up and turning his face towards Eileen so she could see his lips move.

“Or, maybe it won’t open yet because it’s not December yet,” Eileen shot back and cocked her eyebrow when Dean gave her an incredulous look. “Maybe it’s magic.” Eileen circled her fists in front of her chest and then shot her fingers out, as if describing something that went poof. 

At this, Dean glared at the advent calendar suspiciously. 

“She’s kidding,” Sam said hastily. “Kidding. It’s not magic.” But Dean saw him turn to Eileen, a question in his eyes as he signed something that Dean was pretty sure was “is it?”

“I guess we’ll have to wait and see,” Eileen said mischievously, picking up the calendar and carrying it out of the War Room.

Dean looked at Sam, who looked worriedly between Eileen's retreating back and Dean before turning and hurrying to catch up with her. 

Great. Just what Dean needed. An advent calendar that may or may not be magical. He idly wondered what horrors the calendar could inflict if it were evil. Would the little chocolates inside be spelled, or poisoned? Maybe the calendar itself was benign, but the opening of each tiny door brought them one step closer to some eldritch horror rising from the earth?

Or maybe it was just a calendar, full of tiny trinkets, meant to do nothing but incite excitement in the young (and not-so-young) at heart for the coming holiday season.

He understood Eileen being excited. It was the first time in a long time that she had someone to spend the holidays with, and coming back from the dead tended to make you extra eager to celebrate all the good things (Dean knew that from experience). He supposed that for the other people in the Bunker, there was a lot to be thankful for, and to want to get excited about. They were there, for one thing. They were back, their existences restored after Sam and Dean had defeated God and Jack had ascended to take his place. Those that were refugees from Apocalypse World were safe, their daily lives no longer threatened by warmongering angels. 

Too bad Dean’s heart was too broken to feel anything. 

With a sigh, Dean made his way out of the War Room and towards his bedroom. Maybe, if he was really lucky, there would be a tiny whiskey behind each tiny door, and he could drink the holiday away. 

~ Come back tomorrow for Day 2: Tinsel

[gay-jesus-probably]

I realize Undertale's been out for like 7 years now, but with the new Deltarune chapter, some people might wanna go try and take a stab at Undyne the Undying and Sans. To which I say, that's extremely valid, they're painfully difficult but so satisfying to beat. Even if it is an emotional rollarcoaster to get there.

As a genocide run veteran, bit of useful advice:

Save the best food for Sans. Snowman pieces can be used on Undyne if you really want, but they're best saved for Sans. Pie should NEVER be used on Undyne; it's the only item that'll always take you back up to 92 hp, so it's a waste on Undyne.

Grinding all the kills in each area is annoying. The quickest method is to head straight to the last room with encounters in that area, go to the top wall, and just hold the up and down keys at the same time. You'll sort of wiggle around in place, which farms encounters super fast. Once you've finished killing, you can roll right on out of there with minimal interruptions. Yes, the farming looks silly; we call it the Murder Dance.

Don't worry about money; you can't buy temmie armour on a genocide run. Gerson and Burgerpants are the only people that'll sell to you anyways. Attack and defense only ever matter against Undyne, and you'll just want the dusty tutu and ballet shoes for her.

Undyne the Undying always does the same attacks on turns; for example, she turns you red again on turn 3. After a few tries, you'll start getting a good feel for it. I recommend taking notes as you go; it helps to know exactly what you're about to be dealing with each turn. Make sure to mark which turns you find difficult to dodge, so you know when you absolutely need full health going into a turn.

You can technically take notes for Sans as well, but after you get past the fake spare, he starts hitting you while its your turn, so the second half of the fight you don't have time to check notes. Best to just get used to muscle memory with him.

Sans hits for 1 hp per frame, with karma damage as an extra fuck you to drain your health, and dodges every attack. Chara's locket and knife are worthless to you; the best gear for the Sans fight is the Cloudy Glasses, and the best weapon is either the Torn Notebook or Burnt Pan. The burnt pan makes food heal you a little more, which is helpful, while the glasses and notebook give you a little bit of i-frames. It's not much, but it makes a world of difference; just the glasses makes you invincible every fourth frame, while glasses and notebook makes it every third frame. Normally, Sans can hit up to 30 hp in a second, but with glasses and notebook equipped that's reduced to 23 hp per second. The glasses and notebook equipped together will also make KR drain your health slower, giving you a better chance of surviving each turn. If you want the glasses and notebook, make sure to buy them from Gerson as you go past, because backtracking through a dead area takes a fucking century with 'but nobody came' interruptions every five seconds.

Pie and Instant Noodles should NOT be used in the first half of the Sans fight unless you're still learning the ropes and want more time alive to practice. If you're making a serious run at victory, the pie and noodles are for the second phase; scrolling through the menu can drain your health to 1, so you need the full heals to make it worth it.

Sans will keep 'sparing' you until you take the bait or attack. This is the final checkpoint; after that, he starts attacking you in the menu, so you'll need to be 100% ready to go for the rest of the fight. Heal up (NOT with the pie or noodles, unless they're all you've got left), stretch, have a drink, tie your hair back, adjust the volume, scratch your nose, go to the bathroom... do whatever you need to be ready for the most intense battle of your fucking life, because this is the last time your hands can safely leave the keyboard until the fight is over.

Most of all, stay calm. Undyne the Undying and Sans are incredibly mean bosses. This is not like Jevil or Spamton Neo. You're going to be here for a very long time. But you will learn the patterns, you will get better, and you will beat them. If you start getting angry, take a break. If you start getting sloppy, take a break. They're not going anywhere. Try to be zen about attacks that are especially mean for you; just heal up and tank the damage. Every attempt is a learning experience, and every death brings you closer to victory. You just have to stay determined.

Happy genociding!
