[scarfacemarston]

For the winter otp questions, could you do Yelena? I thought of her when I saw them. Don't know who to pair her with though! ☺️ Just pictured her all wintered up. Maybe some gen with Natasha? All the numbers if that's not too much? 👉👈 They're all so cute.

Is it this one that you're talking about? I have two Christmas prompts. I can't help in terms of shipping, but I was thinking Natasha and Yelena as sisters. This is in a verse where Natasha lives, because she deserved better.

Holly: Will you include the mistletoe tradition in your works? Do your characters participate? Have you ever celebrated this tradition in your own home? Yelena and Natasha refuse to do mistletoe in their own homes. The Avengers compound had one, but it caused too much controversy. Tony insists they stay at his parties, though. Melina and Alexei have one in the threshold of their bedroom where the girls will absolutely not go in and Melina and Alexei get their kisses anyway. If Natasha is dating someone, she MIGHT tolerate a mistletoe. Yelena will not.

Peppermint: Thoughts and opinions on ugly Christmas sweaters? Yelena: It takes some time because Yelena finds they clash with her fashion style - she's the more fashion conscious between her and Nat, but later on? Yelena LOVES them and can't get enough of them. She just had to find the right one to be interested. Natasha: Natasha might find an ironic one or one that is more of a meme. Not like a cat pics meme but a meme of the avengers that she's decided to adopt as her own. However, there is nothing too crazy with her. It's not her thing.

Chocolate: Reaction to the first snow of the year. It's meh for them. They grew up in Russia. They acknowledge it can sometimes be beautiful, but Natasha thinks of all the sludge that comes with it. Yelena finds it more beautiful that Nat, but only when it's the big fluffy snow which she does not see very often.

Tree: Who convinces who to get a real tree this year? Natasha is the one who convinces Yelena. Yelena is very environmentally conscious, while Nat is as well, Yelena tends to take it more seriously. They debate what is truly more "Green" (get it?)However, after rock, paper, scissors, Natasha wins and they find a real tree - which Tony volunteers to laser cut it while Steve volunteered to cut for them. They politely refused.

Apple: Something you’re characters like to do as a couple/group. Yelena likes selfies/family pictures. She can't help it. She wants to make up for lost time and make as many memories as she can. The pictures make these memories more tangible and despite the pictures of the past being fake, she still enjoyed the memories of taking those pictures. She also loves playing tourist and taking Natasha or Kate with her. Natasha loves trying new cafes and restaurants, but also cooking for others. She has a special fondness for domesticity. She's not entirely sure why, but she thinks it's because it can be a form of peace from her busy hectic life. Melina approves because, "Cooking is just chemistry". Gift: Who has been waiting all year to give their gift to another person? How long have they planned it? Both girls do. Natasha is a strategist and planner. She naturally and selflessly has always put a lot of time and effort into caring for others and finding out what they truly enjoy. Natasha is the type of girl who finds the most obscure thing on Ebay and gifts it to you...but she'd rather hunt it down for herself like a scavenger hunt. The more obscure, the better. Yelena WANTS to do the same, but realizes she's not as good at it or patient as Natasha. She tries to make something instead...only for it to go wrong. Knitting goes wrong, crotchet goes wrong...but metal working? Goes quite well and she will make either a weapon, something useful, or a decorative sculpture. (Please let me have welder or blacksmith Yelena.)

Cinnamon: Favorite festive drink. Natasha: Mulled Wine Yelena: Hot chocolate with vodka and cinnamon to spice it up. Mug: Do they have a cheesy cup they use specifically for the holidays? Natasha: Yes, actually. Clint's kids gave her a mug in the shape of a snowman. Yelena does not have one...yet. Kate is on a secret mission to find the perfect one for Yelena.

Cider: Something they’re worried about during this time of the year. Natasha worries about Steve. She knows she shouldn't. She knows he's an adult, but she still knows what it means to be alone. Luckily, Bucky is with him this Christmas and she worries a little less. She also hopes that things stay quiet for once in her life. Yelena is worried about what sort of memories she'll unlock if she visits Melina and Alexei. She had some pleasant memories during her time in Ohio, but sometimes, remembering these memories can be painful for her.

Eggnog: Favorite winter activity. Natasha: Ice skating and sitting by the yule log. She loved athletics and then warming up all nice and cozy warming up with hot tea. Yelena: Snow sledding! The girl is chaotic energy and loves having fun. She has to release that energy somehow. She doesn't mind getting messy, either. If she can trip Natasha or Kate to fall into the sled, even better.

Turkey: How are they coping this year? Is this time of the year hard for them? I hc that Natasha has S.A.D. disorder, sometimes. I also believe it's possible for the Widows to be especially busy around Christmas as with so many formal events, it would be the perfect time to eliminate certain marks. Sometimes, she broods - with good reason. Yelena didn't remember her past Christmases to know to miss it. She vaguely remembers the ones in Ohio and those were happy times for her. Other than that, no.

Fuzzy socks: Favorite chill hangout activity (OTP or group activity)? Natasha loves movies while Yelena loves board games. She fully takes advantage of game nights whether it's with Melina and Alexei, Kate and Clint's family, or with the Avengers. She swears she doesn't cheat. As you can imagine, this does not stay a "chill" activity for long.

Blankets: Do they prefer to leave the house or stay inside during the winter. Both women were trained to tolerate the weather no matter what. The cold doesn't bother them so much. Nat is always working so she hardly thinks about the cold. However, she does enjoy her time alone indoors. Yelena loves being outside, but sometimes, there is such a thing as being too cold.

Christmas lights: How much do they decorate the house? Yelena loves to raid Target and especially loves the Featherly Friends bird collection as well as knit blankets, twinkling lights and candles with just a hint of tinsel. She learned the hard way that it gets EVERYWHERE. Natasha doesn't really decorate. She still has the mentality that she shouldn't become accustomed to living in one place for too long. However, Steve has painted her a winter scene, The Barton children have gifted her crafts, which she has displayed on her fridge as well as a few gifts from Tony, Thor, Bruce and Wanda over the years. However, she still keeps it minimal.

Family: Do they have family they’re going to see? It depends, sometimes it's the Avengers - with Natasha being closer to some more than others. Sometimes, it's Yelena visiting Kate before she and Natasha have a quiet Christmas together. Sometimes, it's Natasha with the Bartons, or it's with Melina and Alexei

Snow: What are they naming their first snowman of the year? Natasha thinks it's stupid and won't do it. Okay, fine, she'll do it for Clint's children. They name it Fred. Yelena names hers Rodney.

Tradition: What are their yearly traditions? Natasha remembers watching the Nutcracker ballet on tape or if they were especially fortunate, seeing it in person. She has a complicated history with ballet, but she's always loved the Nutcracker. Yelena, meanwhile, wants to eat Russian teacake cookies. Notice I said eat, not bake.

Pine Needle: What are they doing on Christmas Eve? Well, Hawkeye showed that it could be better. However, this is a "She lives" Au. Usually, they are with the Avengers, their "parents", hanging with each other, or Yelena will make a point to visit Kate. Honestly, Yelena makes it a tradition to visit or leave some sort of hidden message or note for Kate each year in remembrance of their first meeting. Yelena wants to go out and see the lights whereas Nat has to be dragged out. Once she's in her comfy PJ's and bathrobe - there is no moving. Sorry, Yelena, those puppy eyes won't work.

Ornament: What are they doing on Christmas Morning? Natasha would like to sleep in, but she knows that her body isn't going to let her. Too many years of training, regulation and routine. Yelena is in the same position, but she will take back her sleep schedule, thank you very much. Then the girls have pancakes, before going to Melina and Alexei's house if they were not sleeping over already. There, Melina makes a huge traditional Russian feast which she most certainly expects the girls to assist...Alexei goes and naps. Then they open gifts, Alexei sings songs and tell stories before Yelena insists they watch an American Christmas movie because she finds them hilarious. However, Natasha also loves spending time with the Avengers, especially Steve since he doesn't have family at this time. Sometimes, if she's in the States, she'll have a small family dinner with Steve, Clint, and some years Wanda while they show Steve It's A Wonderful Life. He, in turn, wants to watch Christmas films from his era including The Shop Around the Corner and Holiday Inn.

9, 19, and 27 from the music asks 👁👁

9:A song that makes you happy

This one is hard it's usually songs that that have certain vibes lol. "I can't Decide" by Scissor Sisters makes me giggle lol.

Rock songs generally tend to improve my mood a lot. Songs I associate with my OTPs.

19:A song that makes you think about life

The first thing that popped in my head is Numb Little Bug by Em Beihold. It's a mood.

27:A song that breaks your heart.

Oh yeah, there is this one song that I physically cannot listen to. I always break down crying. I want to say it's the "Don't take my sunshine away," but I am almost certain that's not that song. Now I need to find out what it was.

Edit:

[topguncortez]

Who does the dishes vs. Who does the laundry

with all your Opposites Attract universe couples??

Jake & Shy Wifey:

Jake does the dishes and Shy Wifey does the laundry cause she doesn't trust that he can follow directions completely. Besides, she is the one who usually cooks dinner and Jake takes the role of washing up after and putting the food away.

Coyote & Val:

They kinda do both? But Coyote does laundry more because of his uniforms. Val works in health care, she shucks off her scrubs and tosses them on in the washer, not caring what else is in there and Coyote gets on her about it (might've caused an argument a time or two)

Dragon & Rooster

They rock, paper, scissors on who does what. Dragon could think of a million other things she wants to do besides touch Rooster's sweaty underwear or wet food on a plate. The easiest way for them to decide who does what is the classic game that has been settling bets and deals for years.

Bob & Bea

These two are a lot like Jake and Shy Wifey (kinda. . . ). Bea usually is the one who cooks dinner and Bob will clean up. But Bob also likes to do his laundry because of all his uniforms. They both help out with both but Bob is the more neat and tidy one.

Phoenix & Cerberus

Phoenix picks laundry, a hundred times over. She's like her sister in the regard of not wanting to touch wet food (they used to fight about this all the time as kids). Cerberus doesn't mind doing the dishes especially when he's got a lil someone to help him (<- important info. . .)

OTP asks! & OTP List!

[toonjazzy]

I've always been wondering but how did you start pairing Stapcils ? I'm genuinely curious because it's a very rare pairing and they are absolutely adorable :]

Tbh it literally just came to me

I had already begun shipping TapeBand literally before I first drew my Legion (I hate the old designs, they’re so cursed—) and I had decided to challenge myself by making a Stapler Gijinka with a whole personality since I hadn’t seen anybody do that and Stapler is one of my favorites and I also was upset that Nintendo couldn’t just come up with a 6th personality and made a dog and made us kill a dog, that did not sit right with me. So I created Stacey, the twin sister to my Scissors.

So I was daydreaming about TapeBand bc that was my OTP at the time, I was literally so obsessed with them. And then during one of the daydreams I saw Jean and Stacey flirting with each other in the background and next thing I knew, I was shipping them so hard and drew them together a lot

It’s perfect to me bc Copen is first while Stapler is last so this actually made a perfect storyline for them. Also they both have a biting attack in the game and their finishers have to do with their mouths and they also both shoot you :0

Yeah this is a true Rarepair indeed, I have literally never met or seen anybody else with the StapCils ship before. My friends are the biggest fans of my StapCils ship though NXJDWOSKDNKA

Thank you btw <333

[capybaraonabicycle]

10, 15, and 18 for the ask game!

Thank you so much, love!

10. Have you tried anything new this year? Any new art forms perhaps?

Hmm, building a TARDIS was kinda new but I worked with paper, scissors and glue which I am familiar with. I very recently did a macrame workshop, too. I had done a little bit of jewellery knotting before, but never produced anything as professional looking. And I loved doing that! So relaxing and fun :) (until I realised I was running short of time to catch my bus 😅.)

I made a necklace :)

[ID: photo of a pendant necklace made from strings with macrame technique. The strings are blue and the pendant is a stone wrapped in string . end ID]

15. Have you created any new OCs this year? Care to introduce us?

No one new, no, I don't think so. But I have fleshed out some old ones a little more, so maybe let's talk about Linnea?

She was very much only a vague concept before this year and now she has a name and there is art! :)

This is her:

[ID: drawing of a white middle-aged woman with reddish hair and a green sweater. She is hugging herself and holding a pencil. end ID]

She's a very clever scaredy cat <3 Does not like to leave her little town and little life and prefers not to take chances. But has a fascination with Iceland, so she speaks fluent Icelandic. And then her sister buys the two of them a cruise to Iceland and since that's done now and was expensive, she has to go. And she is terrified but come on, it's a cruise, limited amount of space and people, what can go wrong?

And then obviously there's aliens and the Doctor shows up and she is thrown exactly into the type of situation she never ever ever wanted to be part of. But she survives and impresses the Doctor and gets offered a trip in the box. And obviously declines.

But the Doctor keeps showing up in her life and while she hates every instance of it, they become friends. So then she's one of their contacts on Earth and they show up for tea every once in a while. She definitely meets Yaz at least once :)

I don't know. I liked the idea of someone who is predestined for a companion - smart, curious, kind - but would hate travelling with the Doctor. To have the Doctor do their usual 'don't you want to see all of time and space' and go 'no, thanks, love, you do you though'. And she's terrified of all the scary Doctor things because I'm very scared of many things so I can relate. She's a little bit like I imagine I would become if I didn't force myself out there all the time and then turned like 40-something. (Just that I would never go on a cruise.)

Maybe a little bit like how Dan left the TARDIS in the end - even though he is a very different person to start with. I really liked that reasoning for his exit, it felt so natural and rational. I like to think more people would decide like him. Just 'this is awesome, but I can't really enjoy being threatened for my life the whole time, you know?'

18. Can you pick a line/image fragment/etc of your work that encapsulates the last year best for you?

I'll give you both a line and an image because this is my game and I make the rules :)

I'm going with this line:

There was still some time to be the Doctor and Mels Zucker, and she would be damned if she didn’t make the most of it.

From Forget Me Not (Or: Stealing a TARDIS and Running Away)

The writing this year was all about Mels, definitely. I may have given up on the year of the otp challenge, but I have continued writing fic for her - a lkh rewrite is in the works and while she isn't actually in the cat fic, her body shows up there at least (and like, obviously, River is in the fic. Who is the same person but you know what I mean, she's not really Mels anymore). And like always, I wrote a lot of happy-sad Doctorriver, so I think the line fits perfectly.

Plus personal developments this year - well. I wish I was as strong as her but I am quite happy I don't have the same burden to carry either

And then the image fragment has to be this:

[ID: closeup of the lower part of the TARDIS in flight. She resembles the 13th Doctor's model. The background are blue-violet watercolours. end ID]

I have drawn, painted and built the TARDIS at least 4 times last year, plus doodling her countless times on the rims of my exercise books. She is the easiest and most satisfying character to draw in all of dw, what can I say - also I love her and I made a lot of propaganda for the doctorTARDIS ship for @drwho-shipbracket 's tournament which included lots of TARDIS art and fic :D (and that was so much fun!! Thank you again for hosting @drwho-shipbracket!)

[lilitblaukatz]

Thank you for your trust)

Foreword: my fandom playlists usually consists of gays and divas, also I am weird.

From three songs I have for KinnPorsche, two are about their bedroom activities. I am really sorry. Their other layers are yet to musically reveal themselves to me :)

1)Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom

2) Scissor Sister - Keep Your Shoes On

and the third one is a cheesy duet lol (reckless dates era)

3) Barbra Streisand - Guilty

Then, I have one (1) song for VegasPete from Vegas' POV

Queen - Get Down Make Love

I usually try to not use them, but it's just that, nothing less for him. When Vegas looks into the abyss that is Pete and the abyss is looking back at him. Vegas had no chances whatsoever.

Then, I have a song for poor Tae!

Allie X - Devil I know

Next, I have one for Tankhun. Questionable choice, but to hell with that :)

The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name

Also I have one dramatic score for Tawan lol that deadly tango

Muse - Uno

And the last but not least is my OTP. But I have only songs for Chay for now. 1 and 2 quite canonical time of the heartbreak. 3 is more fanfiction-like. And 4th is just hypothetical Chay at some pretencious Theerapanyakul event where Kim is also present, while they are still hadn't made up. 5th I feel like must be somewhere here. And a bit of old gay jazzy thing for happy Chay.

1)Kiiara - L*** is Bad Word

2) Peaches - Talk To Me

3) Molly Moore - I Love You But I Don't Like You

4) UPSAHL - To People I Don't Like

5) Sophie Ellis Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor

6) Labi Siffre - It Must Be Love

Please, enjoy =3

Heyyyy if anyone wants to drop their kinnporsche vibes song recs on me that would be appreciated

[resshiiram]

And if this is the end, it’s the best place I’ve ever been. For @akusokuzan. (:

[thatonegayship]

Bill of course.

Favorite thing about him: Bill's obviously a weird guy, and I love how weird he can get. It's a pretty fun contrast to his design with the bow tie and top hat, stuff you'd usually associate with elegance and refinement. Turns out the most "refined" thing about him is his piano skills.

Least favorite thing about him: It's less something I dislike about him, and more the direction the creators chose to take his character. We never really learn about his past, other than the fact he burned his own dimension to the ground and "He says he's happy. He's a liar." I would've really liked to see that side of his character instead of leaving it a mystery, as on brand as that is.

Favorite quote: "Existence is upside-down and I reign supreme!"

BrOTP: Bill and Mabel

OTP: Bill x Dipper

NOTP: Bill x Mabel (I can't guys, I'm sorry 😔)

Random headcanon: Bill was in an experimental folk band back in the day comprised of Sheppard's tone and endless screams of agony. It did pretty alright for itself, but in-band drama broke them up.

Unpopular opinion: Bill is irredeemable. Coming from a Billdip shipper, I feel that's pretty unpopular. I love him as an evil, chaotic demon who gets pleasure out of making other people suffer. Idgaf if his parents didn't love him enough, he belongs in hell.

Song I associate with him: I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters (or) No Children by The Mountain Goats

Favorite picture of him:

[unknown-jewel]

Chuck and the duke of detroit for the ask thing?

Chuck:

Favorite thing about them

He's so brave! Fighting against Kane and his forces clearly terrifies him out of his mind, but he does it anyway! Brave boi. <3

Least favorite thing about them

His constant screaming. It's funny at first, but it gets grating after a while. :/

Favorite line

"I'm gonna lose, people are gonna laugh at me, the gang's gonna hate me, you're gonna lose Mutt, and I was just about to level up on Laser Swords 3: Rise of the Vanquished!"

BROTP

Him and Mike! They're brothers and I love them.

OTP

I don't ship him super hard with anyone, but I do think he and Claire would be cute together. I'm not in love with that ship or anything, but it is like... the only ship involving him that I'm even remotely interested in, so I guess it counts.

NOTP

Pretty sure there were people who shipped him with the Duke at one point. Really glad that doesn't seem to be a thing anymore.

Random headcanon

He's one of those people who's always cold no matter what temperature it is.

Unpopular opinion

Pretty sure the fact that I think he and Claire would be cute together is unpopular enough.

Song I associate with them

"Mr. Cellophane" from Chicago

Favorite picture of them

The Duke:

Favorite thing about them

He's a flamboyant, dramatic, singing antagonist who wears sweat suits and owns a tank that shoots limos. What's not to love?

Least favorite thing about them

He helped Kane capture Mike! >:(

Favorite line

"You cowards! Get up! Get up and run!"

BROTP

Him and Cyborg Dan.

OTP

Him and Babs, I guess? This is another case where I'm not super enthusiastic about the ship, but have to count it as my OTP because it's the only ship involving the character that I like.

NOTP

Anything involving him with one of the Burners.

Random headcanon

He inherited his wealth from his parents.

Unpopular opinion

He should've gotten a full villain song at some point.

Song I associate with them

"I Can't Decide" by Scissor Sisters

Favorite picture of them

[savyir-genesizz-the-wizard]

Savathun, go.

Favorite thing about her: Well, I didn't buy a Witch Queen so all I know about her is from Ishtar. But I absolutely love her gigant evil wings

Least favorite thing about her: Girl straight up woke up and choose violence. Is it a hive thing to just. Do the shit that got you killed or am I not getting something

Favorite line:

BrOTP: Does she even has friends? 💀💀

OTP: Again ^

NOTP: I wish every Redditor who finds rape jokes about Saint-14 and Savathûn goes to hell no matter what

Random headcannon: If my guardian were to fight her, he would just get inside her hat. Her arm are just. Physically to short

Unpopular opinion about her: Her Throne World is so ugly, I can't stand it 💀

Song I associate her with: I can't decide by Scissors Sisters

Favorite picture of her:

[linddzz]

Pitch Black for the ask meme bc I'm forever on my rotg bullshit

002 | Give me a character & I will tell you

How I feel about this character: THE OG! THE BASTARD THAT STARTED IT ALL! My first fanfic was because I didn’t like how anyone else was writing him at the time. He is still probably one of my favorite villain characters tbh. He’s got the classic Bad Guy vibe with evil laughs and a killin aesthetic but just adding all the potential for ancient eldritch personification of fear in the shadows???? Chefs kiss. So much cool shit was done with him in fandom because of that. But he’s also a goofy fuck??? He tells stupid jokes and he sasses and we must never forget the prancing around on the globe like a big fucking nerd.  And then the angst potential. The reveal that he’s also a lonely miserable motherfucker who is largely acting up to get attention and make people notice him. He’s manipulative but I like interpreting him as also being fully sincere and never really lying because that makes it so much more interesting.  Later learning about the book Kozmotis backstory??? Making Pitch into the end result of a formerly noble hero character being taken over and fully corrupted by cosmic darkness??? AMAZING. INCREDIBLE. EXACTLY MY SHIT.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Jack Frost. (Who uh, just to be clear for newer kids, bc of his voice I always took as “twink who died between 18 and 25″ since if I remember right no one could find an official age for movie Jack??) I mean, you got the Cold and Dark dynamic that even Pitch tries to appeal to. You can also go into fun often has a bit of fear going on. They’re two immortals who know what it’s like to be totally ignored, overlooked, and invisible while being increasingly desperate for some sort of recognition. They can take each other in a fight and GOD I always loved Pitches legit batshit GLEE when Jack hands his ass to him and hes all like OH YEAH SHIT GOT INTERESTING AGAIN. I also am a person who loves me some unhealthy obsession in my fiction ships and Pitch immediately going “IF YOURE NOT GONNA BE MY FRIEND YOU’RE GONNA BE NO ONES FRIEND!!!!” just made my Hot Problematique Content senses perk right the fuck up. Scissor Sisters “I Cant Decide” is MY SONG for them ok like they just got that MOOD. Even in my more uh, mutal and balanced version of them (aka Evil Boyfriends) I see any relationship with Pitch getting full on codependent and obsessive and contentious. But even with all Dark Vibes there’s that fun aspect to them both! There is so much potential for stupid shenanigans and jokes and mischievous idiocy right alongside the dark nightmare shit and god I love that dichotomy.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Him and Sandman have a two-sides-of-the-same-coin balance dynamic that is so great to explore. I also have an AU where Pitch is less Absolute Villain and more of a like, weird asshole antagonist who is still Part of Their World and anyway him and Toothiana get together to have tea parties where they talk shit and act like passive aggressive PTA mom frienemies.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Fandom made him too nice. Just. In general. I also got a lot of flack in the height of fandom for saying that without a LOONNNGGGG redemption arc and likely a bit of reverting back to Kozmotis, Pitch as he is in the movie isn’t really made for “healthy and wholesome romantic relationship”

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I only kinda read the books but man i would KILL for that Kozmotis backstory presented as an adult sci-fi/fairytale. Give me space fantasy and noble knights and really digging into that “how much of the old man is in there still” nightmare potential.

my OTP: I pretty much put my blackice manifesto right up there already

my cross over ship: Shrug

a headcanon fact: Pitch doesn’t remember his old life but his personality is pretty much unchanged, but twisted up. He still sometimes gets set off and almost triggered by things that hit on Kozmotis trauma, but he has no idea why and those instances freak him out a little bit. He dances around a lot and if he wasn’t so fucked up by his growing isolation and need for vengeance he would probably be a great non-evil overall harmless antagonist who just likes stirring shit up for shits and giggles and (other peoples) screams.

A Tradition

For @thefanficfaerie​‘s OTP Challenge (2020)   Words: 723 Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader   Prompt: Winter Wonderland: Day 4 - A Tradition  Summary: Reader & Steve are making paper chain garland to decorate with, a tradition she used to do with her brother and sister when she was younger. Being away from the family this year has been hard. Steve thinks he knows of one way he can help his best gal still see her family close. 

“Now this is a Christmas tradition I know something about.” Steve informed you confidently. The two of you were sitting on the couch in your living room. You were cutting strips of colored paper and looping them through one another to form paper chains. “Buck and I used to make these every year.” He told you as he squeezed a dab of white glue onto one of his paper strips. “We used to have a competition to see who could make the longest one.”

“Well, I know how competitive you can be. I assume you always won?” You guessed. You reached for the scissors and began cutting more paper strips.

“It was probably about half and half.” Steve confessed. “But honestly we always got distracted by something else before a winner was declared.”

“My brother and I used to make these.” You told him. “My sister too, but she didn’t like crafts much. She’d stay for maybe twenty minutes. Just long enough to cut one sheet of paper and glue maybe five or six links before she’d sneak away to play with the cat or do something else. It’s doing little things with them like this that I miss the most. It’s not really the same as an adult.” You sighed. “Though I guess nothing is the same this year.”

“I’m going to make another coffee. Do you want one?” Steve asked picking up his coffee cup.

“No thanks.” You shook your head. Steve disappeared for a while. Longer than a cup of coffee took to make. You didn’t notice because you were occupied with your craft project. When Steve did return, he was holding an iPad and talking to it. “Do you need help with that thing?”

“No, no. I got it.” Steve promised. “It did take me a minute to figure out but…” Steve placed the iPad down on the coffee table. You looked down to see your brother & your sister’s faces looking back at you.

“Hey sis!” Your sister waved excitedly from her half of the screen.

“Steve says you’re making paper chains, like when we were kids?” You brother asked. He tilted the camera on his phone so that you could see his own two kids sitting on the floor of their living room making paper chains. “Great minds think alike, right?” Your brother laughed.

“No way!” Your sister exclaimed. “I made some too, but I did mine last week.” She tilted her head slight and pointed to the background where you could see a small chain of silver and gold hanging across a bookcase in her bedroom.  “Oh, I miss doing those with you guys so much!”

“I miss you guys too!” You blinked, fighting back the happy tears that were threating to spill out. It wasn’t just that you were happy to see and talk with your siblings, though that was important to you too. It was also a comfort to know that they were carrying on small family traditions in their own homes. It felt like you had a small part of each other represented in your houses despite the physical distance away.  

You chatted with your brother and sister for an hour or so. They talked about how they’d been since you talked last. Your niece showed you some drawings she made, and your nephew told you about how much he liked doing school at home. Eventually the call had to come to an end as your sister had grocery shopping to do and your brother had to take his kids to pick out a tree. But you promised to talk again soon before ending the call.

“Thank you.” Was the first thing you said to Steve. “I didn’t know how much I needed that. It helped, talking to them.”

“I know we’re trying to do an old-fashioned Christmas,” Steve said, “But I recognize that technology has it’s benefits too. Just because you and your family can’t physically be together this year, doesn’t mean we can’t all come together to celebrate.”

“I’m genuinely impressed that you knew how to do a three-way Facetime call.” You smiled at him proudly.

“Oh I had no idea.” Steve confessed. “I texted Tony for step-by-step instructions. That’s why it took me so long to make a coffee.”

“Well, the grand gesture is noted just the same.” You insisted.
