#the present is a gift for a reason

I started thinking about what type of holidays Alderaan would have (if one wants to write a christmas/yule type of fic) and my favorite thought was them having a winter holiday that is very reminiscent of Icelandic christmas/yule.

I would love to say that this decisions was for aesthetic reasons or for some other deeper thought, but let's be real, my only reason for this decision was that I thought it would be really funny for Fox to experience the whole thing. Like this man is having an entirely normal day and then Bail just out of nowhere tells him that oh, by the way, we need to put a pair of shoes out on the window for the kids, because Spoonlicker is coming down from the mountain tonight. And Fox is just. the what now is coming?

This might be my favorite one yet, I love how these fabrics look together and this beetle print is just fantastic

7 Sins Legacy - generation 4 (pride)

The birthdays in this household never end. This time it was Gulshan's turn to blow out the candles and age up. Supriya had baked him a carrot cake because carrots were the food he loved most of all the foods he had tried as an infant. Cedia and Amina also wanted to attend the birthday of their grandson and surprised him with a giant sloth stuffed animal as a birthday present.

since galad was shown in the trailer and shohreh is listed among the s3 cast on prime video, and since rafe specifically mentioned that we'll meet the andoran royal family in s3 as a teaser during the panel, i'm thinking that an official casting announcement of all 4 members of the caemlyn crew would be a perfect thing for them to drop this week. as a treat.

Opening my art app to an unfinished animatic and the cutest drawing I’ve ever done of Kip and Twig:

“Look at them!! My babies!! So precious!!”

Opening the next frame:

“I feel pain”

Holiday Theme: Happy Hogswatch

The boy gave the Hogfather an appraising stare as he sat down on the official knee.

"Let's be absolutely clear. I know you're just someone dressed up," he said. "The Hogfather is a biological and temporal impossibility. I hope we understand one another."

AH. SO I DON'T EXIST?

"Correct. This is just a bit of seasonal frippery and, I may say, rampantly commercial. My mother's already bought my presents. I instructed her as to the right ones, of course. She often gets things wrong."

The Hogfather glanced briefly at the smiling, worried image of maternal influence hovering nearby.

HOW OLD ARE YOU, BOY?

The child rolled his eyes. "You're not supposed to say that," he said. "I have done this before, you know. You have to start by asking me my name."

AARON FIDGET, "THE PINES", EDGEWAY ROAD, ANKH-MORPORK.

"I expect someone told you," said Aaron. "I expect these people dressed up as pixies get the information from the mothers."

AND YOU ARE EIGHT, GOING ON...OH, ABOUT FORTY-FIVE, said the Hogfather.

"There's forms to fill out when they pay, I expect," said Aaron.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VINCENT !!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @reallunargift!

Guess who's using his last cents after a night out to wish you a very happy birthday? I hope you're leaning in extra close, because Port has to make himself heard over the pimba playing in the background!

Another entry in the Tabris Cousinverse, this fic is a birthday gift for @exalted-dawn-drabbles and features both of our Tabrises! It was inspired by this lineart from the talented @dreadfutures :3

Female Tabris & Female Tabris | G | 1105 words | No Warnings

On the last night before everything changes, Ariya and Shaesa find comfort in each other. - "That's not the point, anyway." Ariya swallowed hard. "No matter what, one of goes and one of us stays. I don't want to lose you, Shae." "We'll write letters every day," Shaesa declared. "And if all else fails, Shianni and I will sneak out and break you free of whatever cellar he keeps you in."

i hope i have a good day tomorrow

people will say "cats will eat you after you die" as if thats a bad thing. i mean, feeding a hungry cat seems like a nice thing really

by the way, dogs will do this too. it is not an expression of heartlessness, it is merely animal hunger

anyways at least the body would serve a purpose rather than being sealed in a box in the ground

Can you make a Christmas comic? It can be about anything you can imagine

I went with the gang from The Present is a Gift for this, and Twig hijacked the intended theme of warm-and-fuzzy holiday feelings and turned it into having hope for the future, even if you miss the past, because you have your loved ones to support you. Hope that's alright; she really wouldn't cooperate during the scripting process until I went with it.

To keep this comic easy to scroll past for the uninterested, I've put the last 9 pages under the cut! I'm trying to be more considerate of those who are going through my blog, haha.

This takes place after the events of The Present is a Gift, where everyone has mostly settled into having Ark in their group.

Consider: Sticky, Reynie, and Kate were all probably still losing teeth when the first three books took place
