#this christmas has been so ‘ehhh’

applied fork theory:
So a constant, irritating drain on my energy has been an artifact of parenting my last baby, who is now 13 years old. That is, my bed was very close to the wall of our bedroom, moved out a little at one point (it was against the wall when he was tiny and cosleeping, to prevent falling off, but moved out later) and the dresser was at the foot of the bed, in order to make room for a couch in the room that is no longer in the room and hasn't been for ehhh 5 years?
So in order to get out of bed, I would have to scootch and climb across our memory foam mattress in order to get to the foot of the bed to get dressed and then work my way around The Stuff in order to get out of the bedroom.
I knew this was draining, but I didn't realize HOW draining.
One of hubby's presents to me was 20 hours of deep cleaning from a professional, and she brought a friend to use 7 of those hours (3 1/2 actual hours, but two people) to deep clean the room and then move the furniture around. Now my side of the bed is right next to the door, the dressers are to the SIDE of the bed which makes the whole room easier to navigate, and there's enough room for hubby to easily walk around the bed to get to his side of the bed. I can just... get out of bed?
I don't have to scootch? Or climb? Or roll across the entire width?
And suddenly I'm able to focus on other areas of the house.
I asked for hooks for hanging things by the front door for christmas, and my dad and my eldest put them up over the weekend, and I was like, "I have enough energy to get the coats up there" and suddenly the coats were off the Horrible Heap on the floor and I could see all the reusable grocery bags so I had someone take those out to the car and then we could see The Place Where Shoes Go To Die.
And I made everyone in the house put all the ones they weren't using anymore in a bag, and we found a shoe organizer in The Horrible Heap place, and now all the shoes are organized and there is no horrible heap anymore.
And then I looked at the dining room and one step at a time and asking people for help as needed, we got all the junk distributed and the tables clear and the 3d printer set up.
So over the course of about a week and a half, the house is suddenly much more livable and is not sucking so much of my energy. I'm still spending most of my time lying down, ME/CFS is not cured by a clean bedroom, but this morning I woke up after something like 10-12 hours of sleep (in a couple chunks, but still) and got dressed and went downstairs and got my breakfast and still had enough energy to make the kitchen less overwhelming and more usable. Not to actually do the dishes, but to make the dishes stacked, soaked where need be and not spread over every available surface of the kitchen, such that when someone more able than me goes in they will start with a mostly empty sink and some space to work.
Anyway, the point of all of this is that sometimes judicious application of help can have ripple effects through most of your life. Think about the things in your life that are making it harder than it has to be. Are they fixable? Is there someone who can help you with something highly specific? Maybe one of those people who said, "If you ever need anything, let me know..."

it’s cold outside , neuvillette 𓆝
synopsis from the shark lover -> not many know much about fontaine’s iudex, but one thing is for sure he does not particularly like the cold. so there must be a reason behind him wanting to visit one of the coldest places on teyvat, right?
@franciosn merry christmas! hi, its your secret santa for @2023gisecretsanta :) i tried to include a little bit of furina and kept it as canon as i could! hope you enjoy <3
genshin impact masterlist
characters -> neuvillette x reader, furina appearance
word count -> 2.2k
content -> oneshot; fluff, (mostly)true cannon, pre-archon quest, mutual pinning, friends to future lovers — gender neutral reader
the people of fontaine know little of their chief justice, truthfully speaking. it was rare to see the iudex out on the lively streets of the court of fontaine where countless gathered and proceeded with their lives. if it wasn’t for his consistent appearance in opera epiclese seated at the chief justice’s post, the people of fontaine would’ve assumed he was a phantom in their nation.
nobody knows his true name as he wishes to be referred to as his surname.
he has always rejected any form of relationship with the people of fontaine outside of the court in order to remain professional. the only exception to this is the melusines, as he is always found sporting a small smile whenever talking to them. he’s truly does view them as the pride of fontaine.
and most importantly, he’s never been seen absent from the opera epiclese, ever so dedicated to his role as the chief justice of fontaine.
at least, this is what furina knows.
“EHHH!” furina exclaimed, shaking her hands outwards in disagreement. “No, no, no, that won’t do! Who’s going to be here to—uhm—run the court proceedings! Yes, run the court proceedings!” she smirked triumphantly, her hands resting on her hips.
she huffed proudly, taking a few steps towards neuvillette, “my dear iudex, you can’t simply abandon your post…what about all of the cases?”
she can confidently say she knows her chief justices by the back of her hand, in and out after all these years they’ve worked together. so why on teyvat would he be requesting a leave?
granted it was only for 5 days, but five days is five days! he’s never requested a leave, even refusing to take sick days!
he sighed, turning away to grab a glass of water, “lady furina, correct me if i’m wrong, but aren’t you the god of justice, focalors? surely you can handle a few days dealing with court proceedings, can't you?” he responded, fighting a chuckle from erupting from his throat at the expression now casted on her face.
“b-but—you don’t even like the cold! why in the name of teyvat would you visit one of the coldest places in the seven nations!” she stammered, taking small but quick steps towards him.
he was drinking from his glass, and she glanced to the side to see the glass bottle labeled from the cider lake found in mondstadt. she recalls him mentioning how the water in mondstadt had crisp and pure notes, not that she ever could tell the difference between the different waters of the nations. but wait, mondstadt?
she glanced back over at the chief justice who was still drinking from his glass, but the clear vessel gave furina a straight reflection on the light pink dusting his cheeks. on that note, she could also see the tips of his ears blushing the same color.
she recalls again the faint whispers of rumors of the recent appearances of the chief justices in the the streets, who recently began glancing at one specific floral vendor stand. it was common for this vendor to have a lot of visitors, after all, they offered flowers from the seven different regions. what was uncommon was for the iudex of fontaine to consistently begin visiting the vendor, leaving every time with a bouquet.
many thought their chief justice had a secret lover that he kept buying arrangements for, but furina knew otherwise. after all, how could she be the god of justice if she couldn’t solve such a simple case. it was clear to her: the secret lover, or at least, the one who caught his eye was the florist themself.
well it would explain why new vases of freshly cut and cared for flowers kept filling his office.
he shook his head, clearing his throat as he put the glass down, “well? am i wrong, lady furina?” he attempted to distract her, but he could see the playfulness in her eyes.
furina smirked knowingly at the distant view in the chief justice’s eyes, “fine, fine. i suppose i can handle the court for a few days…i will cast judgment upon our courts!” she exclaimed, laughing while one hand rested over her stomach, the other lifting her top hat as she twirled it in the air.
such theatrics only fitting for their archon.
“monsieur neuvillette, are you sure you can accompany me?” you asked, reaching to grab your travel bag. “i should be fine on my own, you needn’t worry about me.”
the iudex chuckled gently, shaking his head, “like i said, i’ve been meaning to visit myself. it’s no worries.”
as you both walked to romaritime harbor, you hummed. “monsieur, if you don’t mind me asking…” you started, waiting for his response.
he nodded, “please, go on. you have no reason to hesitate to ask me any questions.” he answered.
“well, forgive me if it’s forward, but why must you visit dragonspine?”
his eyes widened ever so slightly and you began to wonder if you indeed did overstep. before you could correct yourself, he gently laughed.
“i suppose i didn't say why. please forgive me,” he said, turning to you. “i have a particular— well, i guess you could call it a hobby. i like drinking and tasting different waters. i’ve heard the water in dragonspine has a distinct taste to it, and it’s best to drink it as fresh as possible.”
you hummed once again, nodding, “well that does make sense. different minerals and the area surrounding the water source do play a role in the taste of the water, i’d suppose.”
his eyes widened gently again and this time he turned away. what you didn’t know is that usually whenever he brought up this hobby of his, people usually brushed it off, saying that all water tasted the same.
strange…what was that feeling in his chest…
he paid no mind to it further and you both continued your journey to romaritime harbor.
after you both made it to the romaritime harbor, you landed in qingce village. from there, you both began to travel towards the city of freedom. you both had planned to stay the night at an inn and in the morning head off to dragonspine.
“you said it was a variety of cecilia you were looking for, correct?” neuvillette asked as you both entered the borders of the land of anemo.
“correct!” you answered with a small smile. you walked over to a small patch of cecilia’s you had spotted. crouching down, your palm rested on the petals of the white flower. “cecilia’s are a flower native to mondstadt. once when i was exploring the foot dragonspine, i found a different variety which grew in the colder climates. truthfully, those cecilia’s started my love for botany.”
neuvillette hummed, crouching down to your level. you glanced over at him and saw a rather serious expression, failing to notice his eyes softening.
you thought he was bored of your conversation but before you could apologize he hummed, “could you tell me more?”
“tell you more…?” you spoke with a hint of surprise in your voice.
he cleared his throat, standing back up, “well, yes. or perhaps that may be a conversation better suited for tomorrow’s expedition.”
you nodded, enjoying the subtle breeze passing by the both of you. “right…good idea. it’s about time to check in anyways.”
“monsieur neuvillette, are you sure you don’t require another jacket? i’d be more than willing to get you another one—“
“it's quite alright, i don’t mind the cold,” he spoke through chattering teeth, betraying his words. even so, you found it rude to push otherwise.
you both barely began to tread up the snow covered path and you could already tell he was uncomfortable by the cold. you had heard before how monsieur neuvillette wasn’t the most comfortable with the cold, which is why you found it strange he wanted to accompany you in the first place. surely there were companies that could send over dragonspine water?
nevertheless you sighed, rubbing your hands to create heat through friction, “alright, if you say so…”
besides the cold, the path up dragonspine always amazed you with its beauty. you could even see neuvillette appreciating said beauty though his shivering.
your original goal was to make it to starglow cavern, it’s where you’ve found the most cecilia’s in dragonspine in the past. but from the looks of it, you might have to call it early. you both made it to the entombed city and try as he might, you could tell neuvillette was starting to get uncomfortable with the cold.
“there should be a small patch of the cecilia’s up ahead from what i remember. we can grab those and head back down.”
neuvillette hummed, speaking through a shiver, “but surely you need much more than a small patch…”
you nodded, turning over to him, “well yes, but i’d rather not compromise your well-being. you might develop a cold at this rate,” you said, pointing at his nose how it had become red with the cold. strangely enough, it became redder in color when you called it out.
you turned around quickly, not wanting to keep him in this weather, “i think i see a few up ahead!” you began walking quicker as neuvillette followed your snow covered footprints.
and you were right, there was a patch of cecilia’s that had a distinct blue glow to them. you hypothesized a while back that they adapted to the climate of the mountains and this was the result of that adaptation. you carefully picked them and placed them into your basket that was lined with cryo packets to keep them fresh.
you hummed gleefully, “alright, let’s go!”
neuvillette sighed, shaking his head, “my apologies, i didn’t mean to cut your trip short…”
“it’s alright, sometimes we don’t know our own limits,” you smiled gently at him. “now come on, i don’t want to be responsible for getting the iudex sick.”
he wordlessly took the basket from you, carrying it for you as you both began to descend the portion of the mountain. “rest assured, i rarely get sick.”
“then let me make sure this isn’t one of those rare occasions,” you playfully added.
neuvillette was waiting for you in front of the gates of mondstadt as you both had agreed on last night once returning from dragonspine. it had been about 10 minutes after your agreed time and he was beginning to worry. at this point, he almost contemplated warning a guard, but he was your figure walking towards the gates.
your eyes widened. you didn’t expect him to be at the gates yet, wasn’t your meeting time in an hour? that’s when it hit you: you might’ve lost track of time.
“where have you been? i was starting to worry…” he started, walking towards you.
you laughed sheepishly, “sorry, i got sidetracked. but here, this is for you!” you said, reaching into your travel bag to get a flask of water. “i have a few more in my bag, don’t worry, it should stay fresh with the cryo packets.”
while you were explaining how the water should hopefully taste fresh, he had to think for a moment. water? well, yes. that was the original purpose he came along with you, or so everyone thought. but as he looked at you, you seemed to be in the same outfit from when you both went up dragonspine…
“thank you. but, did you go back up the mountain?” he asked, his eyes ever observant.
“not really,” you lied, “i had commissioned someone to get a few more cecilias and i thought it was a good opportunity to commission some of the flasks of water you wanted.”
“then why are you in mountain-climbing attire?” he asked, pushing more.
you hummed, “well i did have to meet them a bit into the mountain, i didn’t want to get cold.”
it took him a few moments but he nodded, “very well, my apologies for doubting you…”
then it dawned on him— you remembered his reason for joining you. you even went out of your way to commission someone to fulfill his wish. truthfully, he had exported water from dragonspine previously. he has heard water from dragonspine tastes better when freshly collected, but truthfully, he didn’t care about that this time around. he just wanted to spend time with you.
his cheeks dusted with pink at the realization as he turned away, coughing into his hand. “we should get going now.”
you nodded, “yeah, let me go change…” you gently responded, cheeks dusted with a blush that could’ve been confused for cold weather.
thankfully, he didn’t catch on it seemed. you did go back to dragonspine. while you could’ve commissioned someone to get more cecilias, you pride yourself in hand picking all the flowers in your store. there was also the fact you wanted to get neuvillette’s water. it made your heart race a little knowing he wanted to come with you and you felt bad having him leave empty handed.
both of your white lies seemed to pay off.
while you both rode back to fontaine, neuvillette wondered how he could tell you the truth. perhaps over a nice dinner would suffice…
note -> merry christmas everyone <3

(5:46 pm December 2nd — 5:55 pm, December 25th)
All the style went out of fashion as we danced through the crowd and- Well spent was praise in cheerful amaze
Cw: OC x reader, x reader, mobian x mobian (appearance is left to many kinds of interpretations and whatever animal fits you), mixed headcanons and a oneshot, fluff If x readers aren't your thing- just leave.
OC x reader / established queer platonic relationship/qrp / AU: Sonic The Hedgehog / Gender neutral pronouns for Reader when referring to the Reader
Note: For my amazing mutual @friedclownshrimp ...as I started to ..want. To write x reader stuff (but starting with oc x readers because .why not. Why not!!!), and they were the who gave me a request (first writing request too!); “Can we get maybe............flor x reader going on a date on her birthday......i want her to be happy...”. Hope you enjoy this clown! Always know that Flor loves you! (And happy holidays/merry Christmas, etc!) ...tbh was actually having this as a Christmas present to you ......because... yes
___________
Summary: Reader plans their date with Flor, and it so happens to be on her birthday! (September 25th) .. just some fluff, relaxing with each other, having a good time! (Kinda like a silent film thing, hope that's good)
Three specific dividers are by @/ sisterlucifergraphics ! Biggest credits to them.. absolutely love their graphics (& thank you again for doing my request)
-> Flor, who.. funnily enough, is a hybrid. Hybrid created by.. whoever fits the bill- and a hybrid of what exactly? Well, a hybrid of a Hedgehog and a Echidna. Why? ... Ehhh.... Well, why not? (Taking DNA of some other hedgehogs and lasting scraps of Tikal)
And so.. well..... She mainly takes her looks from the echidna side. Red-orange (burnt peach or terra-cotta for specific) fur color, the quills, almost everything of her screams echidna. But there are also parts of her, very small, but too small? That make her different from regular echidnas from the stories; and it's the fact that her tail is more streamlined then tri-crooked (tho it's still crooked.. just not three times).
And with the small fact that.. like.. she has visible ears (not just holes on the side of her head like other animals and mainly reptiles, iirc). Though, they get covered by her dreadlock-quills, and a bit of a headband or bandana head scarf
Which leads into the fact that she also wears -wears bots, a jacket (tho not fully sipped and also how she shows off her shoulders like that), and yk.. having pants... Anyways.
-> Flor, a hedgehog/echidna (hedgedna? echidehog?) hybrid who has a job as protector and trainer to others- gets carried away with doing such things and has been extra busy that she has lightly forgotten that her birthday is very close (practically coming up in a couple of hours!)
I will be Your Fool
It's one of those days where Flor is just spending time working out dates, talking with parents or just lone adult trainees, and all of that. And it's very easy for her to forget that something special is going to happen (tho, she does know that something is going to happen, just not the special part)... today? Or is it going to happen tomorrow?
With all of that happening around, she just can't help but move around the house in anticipation. Tapping her foot, shaking her legs, shaking her head, her hands shaking. (Okay, she needs to stop for a moment and just ...rest. Just breathe)
(Just breathe; ....1...2..3— rinse and repeat. Easy! Calm downnn, girl. Just a bit more, and then a small chill time, then back to work— ooorrr... Maybe not?) she would lightly smirk at the end of that thought process, to appear calm right in front of you
. . .
. .
.
"heyyyy, hon...." Saying with a small strain? in her voice while slicking back a few quills that have stood up by her shaking, just to appear calmer and more.. clean(?)
"What brings ya here ...?" She questions, sounding a bit more calmer than before (which she does a very tiny celebration with a sigh). And while that happens, you just cross your arms and tap your elbows.
Which she understands fast to what you're trying to say even before you open your mouth to explain and answer her question. And that makes her look down, and start to lightly sweat bullets in a cartoon-y fashion, while still having her strained smile on (which eases into a small one that isn't strained, but that's not the focus now)
Then after doing that, she then looks around and just verbally sighs and so she re-fixes her dreadlock-quills and just... Stands up. Away from desk and chair and planning dates. Kinda reckless, but she gets where you're coming from; needing a break.
And... She sighs again, with a much more kinder smile on her peach muzzle.. "yeah ..yeah, yeah. I know- it's dark out. ..."
. . . .
. . .
. .
.
And just like that? She heads her way to the shared room, and to her area of the bed (her tail wagging nonsensically). Just to get ready for tomorrow..
. . . .
. . .
. .
.
The big day is here!
The big day is here!— (all according to plan..) ... It seems like Flor doesn't even notice the date (or maybe she did? and doesn't think that anything will happen despite the fact that she mentions her birthday a few times and mostly with enthusiasm but then shrugs it off without a care due to stuff that have happened before when she did mention her birthday and how she remembers stuff). Well, maybe that's for the better. Added with the fact that.. well, today is a day where she can relax again (as told by you, since she seems to be stressed? when doing the schedules, and when you said that she could take another day-break, she had taken it well!.. a two day break is honestly what she needed this week..)
And it's a day (thought not just any day) where you have a surprise for her!
. . . . . .
. . . .
. . .
. .
.
"'Can you ask me something..?'— Of course!" She repeated the question you said to her and then answered it with a smile (she loves questions that she can answer), "you know you don't need to ask me that, right?" She says (again, not really remembering the other times where she was overstimulated and didn't answer any questions, as she was in her bed sulking)
"Am I willing to go outside? ..I mean ... Sure?? Today is my second free-day!" She again repeats the question, answers with confusion but then smiles. "What's the reason for it?" She asks (even though she can guess but she doubts it)
"Can't tell me???" She then pouts and crosses her arms, but she's fine. She can handle that
...
..
.
-> Honestly the fact that you're hiding something on this day is very suspicious to her. But whatever floats your boat, and she won't really pry into it, all that much (even though her tail couldn't stop wagging at the mere mention of the surprise. She absolutely loves surprises)
-> Disguising the date as a surprise, you just said it was something you wanted to try out!
-> Flor, being antsy but with.. joy? If that word fits, it feels like something will happen. And well- something always happens, but not that kind? More in the sense that she feels like that she should dress for the occasion-type of gut feeling.
-> But since that's more of a gut feeling and you combine that with how this is a free day for her, she decides to like ..not listen to said feeling. It would just kinda be too much to do, yk? She went in a more casual style. Formal but still her, and not too formal. Just to listen to the feeling,for a bit. even if she really shouldn't have..
(DATE, Start!)
-> I like to think that this will be like... One of her first dates with you. That's how I've taken the idea, and it's quite nice
-> When the fact that this is a Date-Date, comes to her head- it's when she becomes fully red in the face and seems to not have any words to say... yet her tail seems to have "words" to "say" by the fact that it's endlessly wag away (it's a miracle that she hasn't even fly away by the fact that her tail wags way too much, and even whenever her tail wags endlessly!)
-> The idea of having this birthday surprise be a date, is like. All too much, but in a good way you know? She's really. Glad. Fortune!
The fact that this is one of her first dates and its one where you want to spend it on her birthday? Aha.... Thats—
Having no words to say when you explain how this is your gift to her.. she just. Suddenly makes weird noises and gestures to thin air and nothing around the both of you, as you sit on the booth.
This is something she just. Never knew??? That would?? Happen to her?????? And on her birthday??
You. You did this for her?
For her?
Why. Shes honored, as hell.
Truly something that she won't ever-ever forget! (After she was done with her gestures and weird sounds, she soon just goes to hug you very tightly because, oh holy fuck??? Your... You're very kind to her. To the point that she has felt like that she can literally fly, with the way that you always make her tail wag! Along with her heart racing!!)
(finally done! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!)
Just to get slightly sappy inna way, but thank you Clown??? Like. Genuinely tbh .. I don't really have much to say but like. Thank you for being yourself. Thank you a lot. Thank you for liking my silly girl... Really. Wanted to make this longer but. Hope this suffices

Crepinlore and the 30-50 random games 90% of fandom has never heard about
This post, like everything else about this blog, is very self-indulgent. I discovered many things during its making, and I simply can't not share. So, let's begin with something you likely have literally never heard about, and go to more popular things from there:
KROSMASTER ARENA 3D
Krosmaster arena online was a video game it seems nobody played, and honestly, I am mentioning it here because I fear that if I don't document it, it will disappear, and it will turn out that it was simply a vision I had, as if in a David Lynch movie. Evaporating, like tears in rain.
I don't think anyone ripped/tried to rip/found a way to rip the models from it — and considering the fact they're pretty... mobile ad-core, not much may have been lost.
Anyway, here's Keke beating the shit out of some guy.
Wakfu Les Gardiens
youtube
Joris appears in the quest "The Tree of Life" of this game, which, as far as I'm aware, was updated in time with Wakfu episodes.
Even back then, Ankama knew that 1. Joris is very sus and 2. you cannot let him get close to you during a battle, or it's OVER.
It's all very cute.
There is something interesting I wanna say about this sprite, actually:
An alternate version of it exists, made as a concept for the Dofus MMO. I am assuming it was Juien Druant elaborating on the ways Joris might look in the game. The first two designs are: baby Joris (probably not used because he looks too young to be a 200 year old man...) and Welsh & Shedar 60yo Joris. They were combined to make the iconic Dofus MMO-era 200yo Joris design.
I'm quite sure that this sprite references the Les Gardiens one very heavily.
One More Gate: A Wakfu Legend
The first game in this list that actually has implications for real lore, and yet its plot is literally "it was all a dream that Oropo was having while inside the Eliacube"
For this reason, the events of this game are not entirely reliable — but are probably based in some way on the memories Oropo has.
The main contribution this game has to Crepinlore is a third Crepin, who might be an ancient ancestor of the brothers, whom Oropo met and remembered, some sort of cousin, or he might be based entirely on fiction, and inspired by Kerubim (though ehhh I severely doubt Oropo would care so much about him that he'd hallucinate a guy like him within Eliacube's fake world).
I really want to headcanon that the events of the game are based on something he really experienced, waaay before forming the brotherhood. But that's just my brain disaeses.
Here we can see the store itself.
Krosmaga
I saved the best for the last — Krosmaga.
youtube
A video of the casts of Dofus and Wakfu beating the shit out of each other
There are characters besides Atcham, Joris, and Kerubim in this game — Julith, Jahash, Lou... But I choose to concentrate on my favorite three ones. Or I will die fr.
If this Ecaflip gives the impression of constantly having a bad hair day, it's precisely because he doesn't have any! Brother of Kerubim Crépin, Atcham is fiercely jealous of the man he considers his worst enemy. And how could he not be, when not only does he occupy the prestigious position of Ecaflip's favorite son, but also displays his dense, silky fur without any modesty or sensitivity?
Here are his three forms:
I'm.,. unwell about the white one. I have to draw Atcham in a Bontarian getup one of these days.
They're really giving a fight to this Joris costume recolor from a Christmas event in one of the MMOs... (Now I want to see Kerubim in red too!)
On topic of Joris,
Adopted son of Kerubim Crépin, Joris is a curious and mischievous little boy. His favorite pastime is listening to the childhood adventures of his beloved "Papycha". And when he's too busy serving customers in his antique store, he's off playing with his best friend Lilotte! An avid boufbowl player and fan of Khan Karkass, Joris also hopes to become a star of the horned ball. While his destiny may already be mapped out on the stadium pitch, his origins are much less clear… But the good thing about not knowing where you come from is that you can imagine anything! For the little boy, there's no doubt: his parents were great boufbowl players, and it doesn't matter if it's true or not!
Here are his alternative forms:
I LOVE THE WAY HIS ADULT SELF IS DRAWN IN THIS GAME... I'm insane.
And now, last but not least: Kerubim.
Judging by his adventures, Kerubim seems to have had more than 9 lives! From small-time opera rat, to Bontarian police officer, to lawyer: the least we can say is that during his youth, the man Joris calls his Papycha never stopped working! So much so that today, the owner of the antique store Aux Trésors de Kerubim takes advantage of his free time to purr quietly in his armchair, or to tell his adopted son about his past adventures. Past? Well, not quite! Because when the terrible witch Julith arrives to retrieve Jahash's Ivory Dofus, and seems intent on attacking Joris, the old tomcat doesn't hesitate to get in her way. With Kerubim, there's no age limit to being a hero!
Once again, it is confirmed that the store's name s literally "Aux Trésors de Kerubim". Sorry, I'm insane about the name of the show being the name of the store.
And his alternative forms:
He's beautiful.

What I think of metalocalypse ships
Skwistok- it's. Okay? I can see why it's a thing as they're the most conventionally attractive, they have a funny dynamic and they technically do work well together but it's just bland. Personally they really fit the rival siblings sort of vibe, skiwsgaar bullying toki because that's what older brothers do and they just seem like very close friends that mean a lot to eachother then anything super romantic/sexual (or if anything i love a solid qpr). IF ITS DONE CORRECTLY and you actually flesh out both charecters I've read a couple fantastic fanfics but otherwise it's a 6-7/10 for me.
Nickles- fuck yea, pre-klok snb pickles and young Nathan? Fuck yea. Late deth-klok emotionally constipated co-parents? Fuck yea. They already care about eachother so much from contributing so much to the band, and they've known eachother forever. Love it 👍👍👍👍 10/10
Dickface- kind of what happens when fandoms don't want to include the less attractive charecter, and as someone who does like murderface this isn't the greatest ship BUT I see why it exists. The Christmas special? Great! 6/10
Nategail- eh. It could've been SO GOOD GUYS I LOVE ABIGAIL!! But unfortunately it just was NOT fleshed out enough and if they gave us reasons to care about the ship then sure but CMON that proposal scene was so fucking awkward. 5/10
Now we get into the rair pairs
Natecharles- fuck yea any creations I've been surrounding this ship have been very high quality and I think it's sweet. 8/10
Skwisgaar/murderface- I actually really like this one WHEN. Skiwsgaar is the one that first starts liking murderface not the other way around. It can be used to show that regardless of appearance it turns out that people will like you for being YOU and it's generally pretty nice.
7/10
Nategaar- aha yea give it to me, it's like. Yea. This ship shakes my head like an etcha sketch. It's the most musically driven people in the band, the most most likely to pursue music afterwards if the band ever ended, both perfectionists when it comes to their creations and they both have a tendency to work until they drop. Yes. 9/10
Magnus/Charles- the only reason I even mention them is because @feeshies wrote the most in-depth fic I've honestly read to date surrounding this paring and the characterization of both of them has honeslty made me like them as a whole. I love the idea of the DRAMA when magnus got kicked out to also lose another person he cared about and Charles choosing the band over him, as a tragedy enjoying YUM
Pickles/toki- ehhh, there's just too many parental caregiver vibes for it to really work. They both deeply care for eachother and they obviously are very close but yknow it's not like a actual relationship type thing. 3/10
Tokigail- not my fave but honestly not horrible for a show with like a single female charecter. I don't think their good in like an actual relationship but I love the idea of a very closeknit friendship forged from sharing horrible experiences. 4/10
Hammertooth- such a landmine I'm not even going to talk about it
Poly klok- yes. Just, as a queer person who is also aromantic I get such joy seeing them all together and happy, no matter the dynamic they all have lovely chemistry and i love scenes where their all just hanging out and having fun

JOY AND MUCH MERRIMENT,
FROM BEAUTIFUL NÁLÆGT, ICELAND!

"Hello, Viness!! :D
FemboyBright invented a dildo gun and won't stop terrorizing people with it so now I have to tell him to stop wearing prostitution clothing AND to stop terrorizing people with a dildo gun.
WiseBright, my dearest, and the one native to this timeline, for the love of him, WILL NOT STOP GIVING PEOPLE RAW ELEMENTS AS CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. I'VE HAD TO SEND 28 INTERNS TO REYKJAVÍK BECAUSE OF THAT?? ☹️
Oh, and of course!! Everyone else! Y'know, it's weird! I'd expect to know you somehow, but I guess not! I've filed quite literally every single person, Site-61 or not, and their Personnel File, updates included, and yet.. not once have I heard of you, Mr. Vines! I suppose some people just exist and are locked to specific timelines? A fascinating study that would be! ..GETTING OFF TOPIC IN WRITING, SOMEHOW. SORRY!!
Clef and Kondraki rounded Cimmerian, Iceberg, Glass.. basically anybody on The Notable Persons List to an 'SCP Speed Dating 2' in The Library of Records. Unauthorized. Using SCPs of Site-61 permitted either as personnel or for roaming access. I immediately shut it down because besides the first one already being an atrocity, it started to lure Liddy Doves (trust me, I could fill THREE entire messages about that woman... long story short, she runs a GoI that makes SCPs based around romance, lust, and the concepts of love for the purposes of creating marriages from their products.) who would've gladly sponsored the event and then held a wedding for the "winners" after the fact.
I love my personnel, but seriously? It's the week before Christmas. They can't behave themselves? Truly? I suppose when you work on a Site that Dr. Wondertainment himself frequents, you just aren't normal from the second you sign off on the Reassignment Form.
Ah well.. waiting to hear back from you! I'm sure your timeline, and Talloran! (Oh, do say hi to your Talloran! I would say hi to mine, however he's quite the shut-off towards me! Apparently my situation reminds him too akin of what has happened to him, or something along those lines? Hm!) Do say hello to him for me! :D"
- Sincerely (and now covered in glitter glue because I wrote this while watching over SCP-053 (don't ask. I.. don't know how it works either.) and she wanted to "write to whatever you're writing for!! :D", so.. ignore the decorations at the end of this message, will you?), your pen-pal from a timeline much more absurd than yours, Site-61 Director Benjamin Oliver Walker.

A3! Event Translation - memory of toys (2/11)
Toi: Ah, sorry for startling you. I am Toi, the owner of this shop.
Toi: I really would have liked to give you a gift certificate, but to be honest, the toy store is going through some financial difficulties right now...sigh....
Yuki: Well, it looks like a lot of money was spent on the interior of the store.
Citron: This must be very hard to maintain.
Toi: I’ve been thinking of ways to somehow make a comeback, but there just aren't any seasonal events this time of year.
Toi: I'm worried about how to liven things up.
Yuki: Well, what have you been doing up until now?
Toi: In the summer we have a beach themed special, with toys you can play with at the beach! For Halloween, we collect items like scary ghosts!
Toi: Christmas is a big event, so I collect a lot of interesting toys from around the world!
Citron: Oh~ How nice~!
Yuki: When you hear it like that, it sounds pretty interesting.
Toi: Right!? But now... in this day and age, you can get anything you want on the internet.
Toi: Besides, nowadays everyone wants to buy things with good reviews, so lesser known foreign toys get ignored.
Toi: These are some of the things I collected while traveling around the world because I thought they were just so wonderful....
Yuki: Hmm, so you buy your own toys?
Citron: Amazing! Sharing your travel memories with everyone!
Toi: Thank you. I inherited this store from my parents, so it still has that same luxurious interior that was popular a long time ago.
Yuki: I see. But, it seems difficult collecting toys from all over the world.
Citron: I also had no idea such a world of dreams existed in a place like this!
Toi: I guess I do need to let more people know about the shop....
Toi: With that being said, i wonder if the shop can make it through this month. The store can't afford to be advertising, so I'm kind of at a dead end.
Toi: As a last resort, I asked the shopping district to hold a raffle, but to be honest, the customer turnover isn't that great.
Toi: Ah.... perhaps you two will be our final customers......
Citron: Oh, it is still too early to give up!!
Toi: Eh?
Citron: Our fight is from now on!
Yuki: That's not what people say when things are about to close down.
Citron: It would be too much of a shame to close down such a wonderful store! Yuki thinks so too right?
Yuki: Me? I don't really care...
Yuki: But... it's just that there's a collection of toys you don't see very often, and the store is cute, so it's a shame...
Citron: That is right! I will...no, we will figure something out!
Toi: Ehhh?
Yuki: Ha?
Citron: Three people together create a spell of wisdom!
Yuki: Is that even a real proverb? You mean three heads are better than one.
Citron: I would like us all to cooperate!
Toi: Thank you... I'm happy you feel that way. The store is destined to close soon, so do whatever you like.
Citron: I will do my best~!
Yuki: .....This has gotten troublesome.
previous I next
please let me know if anything was wrong !

HELLOOOO🤭🩷
Unfortunately for you, you were one of the permanently single members of the gang. You didn’t mind it so much as you were quite happy waiting for Mr Right to come along at the perfect time but when Libby and Aaron were all over each other at all hours of the day it was hard not to feel a little left out. SINGLE GIRLS SHOULD BE UNITE🤭
‘You know what would be fun? Secret Santa’ Libby announced to the room as everyone was taking their seats. Her eyes sparkling with pure joy as she clapped her hands together excitedly but you were just hoping everyone else in the room wasn’t as into it as she was. LIBBY, WE LOVE YOU AND WE OWE YOU🤗
‘We won’t be able to see each other at Christmas though, is there any point?’ You asked quietly, trying to make yourself as invisible as possible like always but you could see a few of the others who were in earshot around you nod in agreement. I LOVE HER MOOD😂
‘Okay but can we set a price limit? We don’t need everyone going big and I end up getting someone a stapler’ you mumbled, hearing a few chuckles from across the room and when you looked up some of the boys that had been listening in were smiling at you. I LOVE THIS Y/N
‘Okay so how about £20? It’s only got to be something small and silly’ she asked the group and thankfully everyone was nodding. ‘Amazing! I’ll write everyone’s name down and we can pick them out of a hat’ LIBBY IS SO EXCITED
MASONNNNN🤭🤭🤭🤭
Mason was at the bottom of your list of people you wanted to pick, that was for sure. What do you buy the man that has everything? SHE IS RIGHT THO
THE FACT ALL THE BOYS LOVE MASONNNN, WE LOVE HIM TOOO😌
‘Would you like me to get that for you?’ You suddenly heard from behind you. Turning to the boy that had been plaguing your thoughts for the last 20 minutes for all the wrong reasons but right now you were happy to see him. LOOK WHO’S HEREEE OUR FAVOURITE GENTLEMAN
‘Please’ you smiled. Letting Mason grab the last two remaining cans before he passed you one over and you sent him an appreciative smile. ‘Thank you. Maybe you can spread the word to whoever’s got me for secret Santa that I could do with a stepladder’ you joked. Rolling your eyes a bit so you could make it obvious you were being silly but he just smiled back at you kindly. SILLY GIRLY😭😂
‘Shall we go back? If I miss too much I’ll never be able to get back into it what with my short attention span’ he chuckled and you nodded thinking the same. Following him back into the living room so you could take your place back next to Libby as he took his seat a few spaces down in between two of the other boys. HE IS A CUTIE🤭
‘Something you want to tell me?’ Libby whispered. Leaning her head down so she could speak quietly in your ear but you were confused as to what she was going on about. LIBBYYYY
Soon enough it was Friday though and you managed to get out of work early. Getting off the train a stop early so you could take a wander through the park whilst it was still light outside always made you feel ten times better and you knew your favourite little secret coffee shop would still be open at this time so you headed there first. The sound of leaves crunching with every step was filling you with joy but the sudden sound of a big dog barking made you jump out of your skin moments after. I THINK I KNOW WHO’S DOG IT IS🤭
‘Y/n? Is that you?’ ‘Mason?’ You questioned. Watching the person come more into view and your suspicions were confirmed straight away as he greated you with his signature wide smile. EHHH THERE HE IS🤭🤭🤭
‘That’s okay’ you smiled. Reaching out to scratch his head and thankfully enough he seemed pretty placid now. ‘Mase and Ace, huh? You sound like a crime fighting duo’ THEY DOOO
‘It’s just round the corner, there’s a little coffee shop just in the woods’ you told him and before you knew it the next sentence was tumbling from your lips. ‘You fancy coming with me?’ I AM GIGGLINGGGG
You made small talk as you walked to the cafe. A small hidden spot in the woods that you wouldn’t know was there unless you’d been shown but it was you who’d stumbled across it one day and was a secret you’d hadn't shared with anyone until now. SHE TOOK HIM O HER SECRET PLACE😭🤭🫠
‘I know what you’re about to say, and the answer is no’ you smiled. Watching him roll his eyes before pulling Ace over to a picnic bench and you ran inside to grab your coffees and a few sweet treats I LOVE IT WHEN GIRLY TREATS HIMMM🤭🤗
You were just gathering everything together when it suddenly hit you that this could be incredibly awkward. You didn’t know Mason and you weren’t good at small talk so you were beginning to wonder why you’d offered to bring him here in the first place. In the end you figured you could use this to your advantage and see if you could learn anything about him in order to get him something for secret Santa and you rehearsed a few questions in your head as you walked back over. CAUSE YOU LIKE HIMMMM🤭
You were halfway through your sentence when you realised Mason wasn’t listening to you. Looking up to see his eyes fixated on your chest as he looked there intently and you could feel your arms crossing over your body to protect yourself from his gaze. I SCREAMED
‘I’m s-sorry, I was just trying to read what that said’ he stuttered. Pointing to the words on your shirt that were just above your heart. ‘I promise I’m not being weird’ NOT HIM PANICKING 🤭🤭🤭
‘What does it mean?’ He whispered after a second and you could feel yourself internally cringing at having to speak about something like this to someone when you usually kept it so private. EHEHEHEH H IS SHOWING INTEREST
‘No, like I’d love to but I’ve not really got anyone to go with plus crowds aren’t really my thing and i probably wouldn’t even be able to afford it’ OH, HE’S GONNA FIND A WAY, TRUST ME😊😌
‘What about your boyfriend?’ He asked quietly. His eyes avoiding yours as he looked to the table and you wondered if he was asking this sneakily to figure you out or just genuinely didn’t know. I SCREAMEDDD
You didn’t have a chance to reply, a little boy and his dad coming over looking all apologetic and asking for a picture so you offered to hold Ace’s lead whilst he spoke with them for a bit and it suddenly hit you in the face that this wasn’t just your sort of friend you were having a quick coffee with. This was Mason Mount. HE IS YOUR FRIENDDD😌
‘Ah okay, well make sure you take a hat, I’ve heard it’s supposed to be freezing tomorrow and you don’t want your ears to get cold’ you told him. Mentally face palming yourself and wondering why you’d said that but he just smiled at you warmly. SILLY GIRL, I LOVE HER
HE SENT HER A KISS AND I SCREAMEDDDD😭
You felt a weight lifted knowing he wasn’t mad at you and the little kiss at the end made your face flush. It was only one little letter but it was in the mind for the rest of the night to the point where you wondered why. Mason was was in a whole different league to you but you couldn’t deny you that you’d had a good time sitting and talking with him that afternoon. SHE LIKES OUR BOYYYY
You thought that might be the end of your private conversations with Mason but the next morning you woke up to see a notification from him on your phone and you felt your pulse quicken. Opening it as quickly as you could in your half asleep state and the sight of his face made you smile. OMG I THINK I’M FALLING IN LOVE WITH THEM😭
SHE IS GOING AT HIS, EVERYONE BUCKLE UP
You saw his little head moving in the front window as you walked up the path and soon enough he was opening the front door for you when you were about halfway there. His usual bright smile dressed on his face as he stood and waited for you and as you got near he stepped to the side and motioned for you to come in. HIS LITTLE HEAD I MIGHT COMBUST
‘Oh just some bits I bought back. I always like to bring something back when I’ve been to an away game’ THAT’S SO CUTE I CAN’T😭
‘You should start scrapbooking’ you told him without even thinking but the short little laugh made your head snap up to look at him opposite you. GIGGLING
loads’ you gulped. Flicking through a few photos you’d taken of pages you were pretty proud of and he seemed fairly impressed. Asking you loads of questions about how you did it and what you used until your conversion moved to him asking about the memories you’d put in there. I LOVE HOW MUCH INTEREST HE SHOWS TOWARDS HER🥹
SHE IS STAYING AT HIS FOR DINNER AND HE IS MAKING HER HIS SPECIAL SPAG BOL
‘I always take one so I can sign stuff for the guys who wait outside but then I bring it home and forget to take it back with me again so I pick another one up and the cycle continues’ he huffed. ‘Help yourself if you want one’ I CAN TOTALLY SEE HIM DOING THIS😭😂
Once you were in bed you made a start to find him the perfect scrapbook. In the end picking two as you couldn’t decide between the deep blue or the red and figured he might like to have both to keep both phases of his life separate. Everything else you figured you could grab from your usual stationary shop the next time you went as you could see the perfect stickers for him in your mind. I MIGHT CRY, I LOVE HER
I LOVE ALL THE LITTLE TEXTS BETWEEN THEM😭
From that day onwards you kept in contact everyday, even if it was just a little good luck text before a game or evenings you’d spend the whole night talking. Your little fingers furiously tapping away at your screen to the point you didn’t want to say goodbye some nights and he never made you feel annoying or like you were a bother to him. I AM IN LOVE WITH THEMMM
Your aim to try and find out more about him was working wonders as you were finding out new things every day. His favourite sweets, his favourite drink, his favourite holiday he’s ever been on. All now in your brain for future use but it was a week and a half later that you thought you’d learned something you didn’t want to. OPSY
You weren’t sure why, but you felt your heart sink immediately. You enjoyed spending time with him lately and knowing he’d kept it from you stung a little bit. You kept your face as blank as possible though as Libby started to grill Aaron about it excitedly. SOMEONE IS JEALOUS🤭🤭🤭
THE ACT HE TEXTED HER, I AM GIGGLING
Why did you care? He was just a guy in your friendship group who was way out of your league and probably wouldn’t look twice at you anyway. You weren’t even sure if you could refer to him as a friend at this point as it was only over the last few weeks you’d grown somewhat closer so why did you care if he had a girlfriend? CAUSE YOU LIKE HIMMMMM AND NOT JUST AS A FRIEND
Because you knew he didn’t look at you like he looked at everyone else. Because you knew he was bringing out a whole new side of you where you didn’t feel like a spare part or a burden and because his smile lit up a part of you you didn’t even know existed until now. EXACTLYYYY
You managed to keep things up until a few days later when it was movie night again. The last one of the year and you were really hoping you could spend some time with him beforehand as you’d be sat with Libby when the movie was on. Unfortunately for you he was nowhere to be seen and you knew Libby was looking at you weirdly as you constantly looked around the room. MOVIE NUGHTTTT
‘Yeah good, training was a bit later today and it was tough so I’m knackered’ OH BABY NEEDS A NAP😭
‘I was talking to my tattoo artist the other day and he was asking about Ace. I mentioned you said we sound like a crime fighting duo and he sent me this yesterday morning’ he laughed, enlarging the hand drawn image of Mason and Ace dressed up like superheroes and you thought it was the best thing you’d ever seen. THE FACT HE TOLD HIS TATTOO ARTIST WHAT SHE HAD SAID
‘You okay to share?’ He asked quietly. A slight quiver of shyness in his voice but you figured you must have been hearing things. There was no reason he would ever need to be shy with you and you figured it must have just been him trying to keep quiet around everyone. ‘Have you um, have you got enough room?’ He questioned. Trying his best to turn himself into the corner of the sofa to make sure you had enough space but you were quite happy being pressed up against him so you just nodded and let him lay his arm across the back of the sofa behind you. I LOVE THEM PT34656778
HE FELL ASLEEP ON HER I MIGHT COMBUST😭😭😭🤗
‘You were surprisingly comfortable’ you whispered, looking up to see him smiling shyly at you but before either of you could speak Libby had come to stand in front of both of you and you were suddenly hyper aware of the fact you were both still under the blanket with his arms wrapped around yours. I BET HE IS ACTUALLY SO COMFORTABLE
HE IS DRIVING HER HOMEEEEE SOS SOS🤭
‘And you didn’t tell her we talk?’‘No’ you gulped, fiddling with your fingers in your lap for some sort of distraction but the next thing you knew Mason had pried them apart with his own and held one to stop you fidgeting. A kind smile on his face as he continued to look ahead and drive but you were thankful he wasn’t looking at you as you now resembled a tomato and you figured you should keep talking so you didn’t spiral about what was going on right now. ‘I didn’t see the need to and I like keeping this between us. She keeps things from me all the time yet wants to know everything about me. I just liked things being a little private cause I know she likes to make a big deal out of everything, I hope that’s not weird’ ‘Not at all, I like it’ he reassured you. Squeezing your hand softly before letting go and you missed his warmth immediately ‘So I guess the next time I’ll see you will be new years?’ I LOVE HOW THEY ARE ON THE SAME PAGE🥹🤏🏻
‘Thank you, you too’ he smiled before a look of uncertainty washed over his face. ‘Do you um… let me walk you to your door’ HE IS A PERFECT GENTLEMAN
It was like all the noise in your brain stopped. A calmness falling over you as he held you to his chest and your whole body relaxed into his as you felt his body do the same. God he smells so good you thought as you took a deep breath and you couldn’t stop yourself from holding him a bit tighter. You hadn't had a hug like this in a while and it was like you could feel all the broken parts of you being filled up by him. HIS EMBRACE BOUGHT PEACEFULNESS TO HERRRR🥹🥹🥹
‘Thank you for letting me sleep on you earlier’ he whispered into your hair and all you wanted to do was melt into him more. ‘Anytime’ you laughed and when he started to pull back you did the same. Quickly saying goodnight to each other before he darted back to the car and you noticed he didn’t leave until he knew you were inside. I LOVE THEM WITH MY WHOLE HEART
THE FACT HE TEXTED HER THE NEXT DAY TO APOLOGISE??? WOW I LOVE HIM😭
So he called you that night, and the night after you called him. Each night turning into one you’d spend on the phone with him for at least an hour but it always felt like five minutes. Letting Mason offload about how upset and disappointed he was with this fresh injury yet with each passing day you noticed him perk up a bit. Taking his mind off of everything and getting him excited for the holidays and it melted your heart to hear him talk about spending time with his family and getting to see all the little ones. You figured Christmas Day he’d be too busy to talk but he text you in the evening asking for a chat and you loved listening to him talk about his day. Letting each other know what gifts you’d gotten and what you’d done until the excitement of the day had gotten too much for him and you heard his sleepy snores on the other end of the line. If there was ever a time you wanted to crawl through the phone and be with him it would have been now as the thought of him sleeping all alone pulled on your heart strings. You wanted to hold him and stroke his hair and fall asleep right next to him but to you it was just a dream. NO BUT THIS? THEY TALK EVERY NIGHT? AND SHE WANTS SO CRAWL IN BED WITH HIM CAUSE SHE HATES KNOWING THAT HE IS ALONE😭
‘Do you know if Masons, okay? You know after the injury? I'd hate to turn up and he doesn’t want company’ Libby asked Aaron as you all got your coats on and you listened intently to Aaron’s answer. GIRLY MIGHT KNOW MORE
‘I’ll be honest baby, no one’s really heard from him since it happened. We’ve text him but he’s not said too much’ he shrugged but you made sure to keep quiet. Trying to keep the smile off your face at the fact he was seemingly only talking to you and you couldn’t help but feel a little smug about it. EHEHEHEEEHH I AM SAT HERE KICKING MY FEET🤭🤭
It didn’t take much longer to spot him, standing with a guy you didn’t know and two girls in the tightest dresses you’d ever seen. Your mood plummeting as you watched the one closest to him laugh at what he was saying as she placed a hand on his upper arm and you had to look away. WE DON’T LIKE THIS, MOUNT GO TO YOUR GIRL, NOW
‘You’re here’ he smiled. Stopping just in front of you and you wondered if he would hug you or touch you in any way but he didn’t. His smile and eyes a little dozy from where he’d been drinking but you knew he wasn’t drunk and if anything it just made him look even more adorable as his eyes flickered all over your face. MASON TONY MOUNT HUG HER NOW😭
‘Come on, I’ll get you one. I know where all the good stuff is’ he smiled and he surprised you by taking your hand and leading you through into the kitchen. You knew there were eyes on you but you kept your eyes on the floor and followed him, letting him pick you whatever drink he fancied and in the end he made you both the same before leading you back into the main living room. ‘Can i introduce you to someone?’HE TOOK HER HAND I CAN FORGIVE HIM FOR NOT HUGGING HER😌
BEN LOVES HER OMG, CUTIES I BET MASON HAS TOLD HIM SO MANY LOVELY THINGS ABOUT HER
Mason didn’t leave your side for the rest of the night, and if he did it was only for a minute or two. His hand permanently on you whether that be your waist or his arm slung around your shoulder and you loved the way he didn’t want to leave you as you definitely didn't want to leave him. HE LOVES STAYING BY HER SIDE OMG🤭
‘I’m fine here’ he shrugged as he passed you a glass and you made sure your face looked offended by his silly comment. ‘Just fine?’‘Maybe a bit more than fine’ he chuckled, stepping closer to you as he threw you a wink and you could feel his breath on your cheek. I LOVE THEM LOZ OMG
HE GOT HER THE PERFECT GIFT AND SHE IMMEDIATELY UNDERSTOOD IT WAS FOR HIM CAUSE HE IS THE ONLY ONE SHE HAS TALKED TO ABOUT IT, BYE BYE🥹
You couldn’t look, hearing a few giggles from people in his general direction and the nervousness took over your body and you had to flee. Popping your vinyl back into the box before making a swift exit out of the nearest door which thankfully led into the main room and you were back with Ben. THE FACT SHE IS SO EMBARRASSED FOR HIM TO FIND OUT WHAT HER GIGìFT IS UGHH
HE TEXTED HER, HE HAS SEEN ITTTT AHHHH
‘Hey’ he smiled ‘I take it this is all you then?’ He asked as he motioned to all the stuff you’d bought that was scattered over his bed and you felt like disappearing into the floor. ‘Oh um, yeah listen I’m sorry I know it’s a bit shit-‘‘Are you kidding me?’ He laughed ‘I love it’ I THINK YOU JST LOST ME CAUSE I’M IN A PUDDLE🥹
HE WANTS HER TO HELP HIMMMMM AHHHHHHHHH
‘I had nothing to go on, I needed something’ he smiled before his face got a little more serious. ‘Your present, It’s actually a bit of a two parter’ he smiled, reaching into his bedside drawer and producing a white envelope that he’d written your name on. OMG THERE'S MOREEE🤭
‘Of course you can’ he grinned, shuffling closer to you until your thighs touched. ‘The only reasons you told me you couldn’t go were you couldn’t afford it, which I’ve taken care of. You didn’t like crowds and I’ve booked you into a vip section so there’s not too many other people around. The only part I can’t help you with is finding someone to go with. You need to pick’ THE CARE AND THE LOVE HE HAS PUT IN THIS, I CAN’T
‘Will you come with me?’ You asked immediately. You knew they weren’t his thing as he’d told you he’d never listened to them before but you figured going with Mason made more sense than anyone else. ‘You want me to come? I didn’t get them for you for you to pick me’ he told you softly and you could tell he was biting back a smile at being the person you wanted with you. ‘But what if I want to go with you’ you whispered. ‘It’s my gift right? My decision on who I get to take. I want to take you’ you told him but then it hit you he might not want to go either and you didn’t want to force him. ‘But if you don’t want to-‘‘Okay’ he smiled, cutting you off as he bumped your arm. ‘We can go together’ THEY ARE GOING THERE TOGETHER AHHHH I CAN ALREADY SEE HIM LEARNING ALL THE SONGS TO BE ABLE TO SING WITH HER😭
‘I know it’s like all over and stuff but we can still hang out right?’ He questioned. Your face breaking out into a smile at the fact you’d read it all wrong and you knew he was laughing at your reaction. ‘Yeah? You mean you still want to?’‘Of course’ he grinned. ‘I mean I’ve been thinking of excuses for ages to try and see you. Remember when I needed washing tablets?’ AHHHHH HE WANTS TO KEEP SEEING HERRR
‘I didn’t really need them, I just wanted you to come over’ he giggled. And this last week or so, it’s been shit. But getting to speak to you and offload like you let me, I didn’t realise how much I needed someone for that’ BYE BYE
‘You do that a lot you know’ he chuckled softly, rubbing his thumb along the black of you hand gently and you could feel your tummy flipping as he did. HE’S BEEN OBSERVING HERRRR
LIBBY, I KINDA HATE YOU A BIT NOW🙁😂
You hoped this year you’d have at least someone around you but all the other girls were coupled up and you didn’t know where to look. Eventually backing off so you could stand to the side and out of the way like most years but a hand on your wrist stopped you. I THINK YOU MIGHT GET A SURPRISE NEW YEAR KISS
THEY KISSED THEY KISSED THEY KISSEDDDDDD🤭🤭🤭🤭🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
‘It’s okay’ you smiled. Cutting him off slightly as you didn’t want him to apologise for anything that has just happened. ‘I’ve never been kissed at midnight so thanks’ ‘The pleasure was all mine’ he winked as he wrapped both arms around your waist and pulled you further into him but you were still in such a daze you didn’t know what to say. I’M SAT HERE GIGGLING AT THEIR SHYNESS
‘I don’t know’ he laughed back. ‘But these last two months, getting to know you, you’re not like anyone else I’ve ever met’ he told you but seemingly knew how that must have sounded as you tried to bite back a smile whilst he tickled your sides. ‘And I know that sounds cheesey as fuck, but being with you it’s like I’m finally alright after feeling so lost up here for so long. That song we talked about, I’ve been listening to it non stop and all I can’t think about is the fact when I’m with you I feel at home’ HE FEELS AT HOME WITH HER AD I FEEL HEALED😭😭😭
‘I know we were moaning about it, but I’m so glad we agreed to the whole secret Santa thing cause it’s like you’ve been right under my nose and I had no idea I could feel like this about someone. You get me in a way no one else does and the way we just clicked so quickly… I don't know. I’m rambling now but if you don’t feel the same it’s okay but I meant what I said upstairs. I wanna keep hanging out and getting to know you but maybe…’‘Maybe what?’ You smiled, knowing he was trying to brush his feelings off just in case you didn’t feel the same but little did he know you were just in shock as you could never have imagined him saying this to you. ‘I don’t know’ he laughed, squeezing your sides again to make you laugh. ‘I don’t know how you feel and I don’t want to make an arse of myself’‘I want the same’ you gulped, trying to find an ounce of courage to try and let him know how you were feeling but even though you wanted to shout it from the rooftops for him, it was like you couldn’t get the words out. ‘Sorry this is all so new to me I don’t really know what to say either’ THEY WANT THE SAME AND I’M IN CLOUD NINE
‘I think we’re both just too shy for our own good’ he told you and you nodded in agreement, loving that he knew you so well already and when he pulled you even closer you wrapped your arms around his neck so his face was closer to yours. ‘So you like me… in the same way I like you?’‘Yeah’ you gulped. Realising he’d changed his tactics to just ask you questions to make things easier for you and you smiled up at him as he kissed your nose. NO BUT I LOVE THEM
‘And I can kiss you again?’‘Yes’ you breathed, finding it increasingly difficult to answer him as he continued to kiss all over your face and you knew you were blushing like a fool. ‘Whenever I like?’‘Depends on when you’d like’ you replied and the chuckle he let out just below your ear made you shiver in delight before he pulled back to look at you properly. AHHHHH I AM MELT
LOZ OMG OMG OMG🤭🤭
THIS WAS LIKE THE PERFECT WAY TO END A YEAR FULL OF PERFECT FICS AND SERIES?

did your dad live with you while you were growing up? you said draxum was kind of based on your dad and i couldn't remember if you ever said that your parents got divorced or separated
my parents are unfortunately still married and probably will be forever. but functionally they're KIND OF separated. like, my dad lives full time in Nigeria and has for as long as i can remember. he only came home for a few months out of the year growing up, usually around christmas or summer, but not always.
so he didn't live with us, but i never felt abandoned cause him being gone was how it always was for me. so i was like, ehhh its normal my dad is just away on business stuff :)
my older siblings feel a bit differently tho, cause apparently he used to live with us full time. i don't really blame him for leaving cause the way my mom treats him is horrible, but at the same time i don't blame my siblings for feeling abandoned cause like. yea he kinda did just get up and go huh. it sucked so he Hit Da Bricks. unfortunately part of hitting da bricks meant leaving all of his kids behind! which was probably for the best because he was apparently very physically abusive at first (i didnt find that out till i was like 14) which i've heard is a Nigerian parenting thing.
he also sent us like most of his money too, but our mom never told us that and always complained about not getting enough money from him. meanwhile he sent everything he had and lived in poor conditions because to him being a good dad is when u provide financially and physically for ur kids. situation was fucked and i could talk about it for hours.
idk as shitty as things were, it could have been way worse considering who my parents are.
#nnstuff#ask#child abandonment#child neglect#i really dont know what to tag this as its not explicitly about abuse its just like. shits fucked.#child abuse tw

HIII WHATS YOUR OPINIONS ON THE RECENT DOCTOR WHO EPISODES?
ive been loving them ^_^
AHGHHHHHH !!!! okok i havent watched the latest two but here:
christmas special - i liked some elements and i thought it was a good introduction for ruby however........ i wasnt vibing with the aliens . ncuti was rly good and established himself as the doctor pretty early on for me though!!!
space babies - i enjoyed it!!! i did think the mystery of the bogeyman was slightly predictable but i loved the gimmick of the talking babies and nan-e, plus made ruby and 15 instantly likeable by having them be sweet to babies for a full episode.
the devil's chord - ehhh?? it was fine. probably my most neutral episode so far . i thought the message was fine, i rly enjoyed jinkx monsoon as maestro and i loved the 'non-diagetic' joke but other than that it didnt leave much of an impression on me
boom - pretty fucking good . moffat is at his best when he writes individual episodes , this felt like a series 10 one and it was a breath of fresh air . amazing performances from ncuti and millie gibson . did think it was weird that they were joking abt that little girls dead dad so much at the end + i wish the deaths in general had more time to marinate , but the plot moved so fast they felt left behind. but other than that i thought the tension was very good , the characters were fun , and it felt VERY doctor who .
i'll come back to this when i watch the newest two episodes but im enjoying the season overall so far! im not sure if u know but i actually adored the 13th doctor even if i didnt like her writing so much , so adjusting to a new one has been difficult, but ncuti is so charming and well-acted that it's impossible not to love him imo .

BINGO. All this talk by some about other meaningless stuff like card stock is pointless. It is a couple card sent by a couple. It's just people who don't want to admit they were wrong with all the break up talk and are now by deflecting. /// Ehhh or some people are seeing it for what it is. A last minute, basic Christmas gift that doesn’t even have a signed card. He sent out ornaments with Ale…. And where are they?? 🤔
All the other blogs are saying is, it’s not that big a deal. I wasn’t naive enough to think they were broken up but them being radio silent for months and not even spending thanksgiving together and then this? I can’t blame some of them for thinking they were over. I get some of yall love and adore her but some of us just don’t see him actually happy with her.
I want to level with some of you. Can you honestly look at all of his pictures with her and say he is just as happy as he was with past GF? Seriously I’m not trying to be snappy or sassy I am genuinely asking if you see him as happy as he has been in the past cause I don’t. I see a man who is simply exhausted and even being with his GF doesn’t seem to alleviate that. Which it should.
Do I want him single and miserable? No, absolutely not! I want him to be happy and as a fan of 10+ years, this one doesn’t add up. Honestly I think he needs to date himself for a bit. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting someone to invest and love themselves for a bit.
Hope this doesn’t ruffle feathers, I do like your blog. Hope you have a Merry Christmas! ❤️
My problem is not if you think he is happy with her or not (even tho i find it a bit weird to think that ngl, he also has looked miserable/sad/whatever you call it in the past when alone and when with ale but then if we look at the bday video the looked so happy together) my problem is over analysing a xmas card and for what? “A last minute gift” okay gift me one of that thing as well then we see how much it costs. Do you also know if something wlse was gifted to her by them? One reason only to overanalyse that card: trying to prove they are not together. There aren’t other reasons to do that.
I use this ask i got after yours to make it clear how it works:
And i add that it’s not signed by them because you don’t order flowers a month before the date you wanna send them and seb has been unable to sign it for the past month (this is also why he and annabelle didn’t spend thanksgiving together… he was working away. Just to address this thing you wrote i have to still understand why exactly).
I also don’t care what other blogs think, i have my own personality! One thing i know it’s that we are like 4 active blogs on here including the one that spends 24 hrs a day calling her names and one that doesn’t like talking about his private life so…….
During the past month I didn’t think once they were over but that’s just me, I absolutely understand if someone started to think that. What’s makes people miserable is the negative over reaction to them still being a couple.
I am happy he has been in a stable relationship for almost two years with a woman who seems okay and sweet.
Merry Christmas to you all guys.

i'm really late to the ask game but i still need to participate because i feel bad
✏️🌝🤔😈⏰
(i think i know the answer to the last one)
— brick
BRICK!!! HIIIII!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BUSY TODAY HAS BEEN!!! CHRISTMAS DAY IS SUPPOSED TO BE BUSY NOT CHRISTMAS EVE TwT
Anyways. Thanks for the questions :3 (you don’t need to feel bad lol)
✏️ Do you write every day?
I attempt to. I try to do a little bit everyday but I more often fail than actually get something written. I tryyyy
🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to?
I have answered this one but it’s Techno. Like yes I’ve written him but not published that part yet and I just always feel like I can’t get his character right. I wanna do him justice!!!
🤔 What is the hardest part of writing fic?
The endinggg! I have so many fics that need endings and I always get stuck!!! It’s annoying man
😈 Is there anything you enjoy doing that you think your readers hate?
Ummm I think this only applies to ao3 readers but writing gt lol. Sometimes I wonder if my ao3 readers wish I’d write something other than that but ehhh it’s what I do lol
⏰ Do you spend more time reading fic, writing fic, or do you do both equally?
Definitely do more reading than writing. I wish it was balanced qwp
THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS BRICK!!!!

From what I've seen, there's like a trend now, of parents making baskets full of little trinkets and goodies (mostly small things or things from the dollar tree) for theirs kids, like in Easter, valentine's day, or another special occasion/holiday. Do you see your pairing doing thinks like that?
Hey, anon! Thank you so much for sending this Ask my direction! I don't know if it's the same thing, but I see a lot of gift baskets for kiddos for the other holidays outside of Christmas, which has the little trinkets and less expensive things (which I love!). I've also seen a lot of my friends recreate Advent Calendars for other holidays (one of my sweet friends is doing a Ramadan calendar on youtube!), which I think is an adorable way to bring in a holiday, especially if you are trying to teach children a significance behind the holiday.
Ethan and Tatum are all about creating special experiences for Cord rather than just buying gifts (they've never been big on giving each other gifts anyway... and that's not to say that gift-giving is bad. Tatum is beyond generous and the ultimate gifter when it comes to her coworkers and friends). Cord will no doubt be very privileged, coming from a very wealthy, very intelligent, very good-looking set of parents, but since both Ethan and Tatum came from very humble beginnings, I think they really want to instill in their son the need to appreciate what he has, and not only that, but that he has a HUGE opportunity to make an impact on the world because of what he has.
But you didn't exactly ask all that... whew, rabbit hole!
Building baskets? Ehhh... while it's adorable, I don't really see Ethan and Tatum doing that. BUT I could totally see them getting a trinket or two to celebrate special occasions (ie stickers, candy, toy cars, etc).
This is random, but in my HC, Tatum will take Cord to the Dollar Tree after a long day of running errands, and tells him he can pick out 1 thing. 🤣
Thanks again for the Ask! *hugs*

thank u guys for saying nice things to me... sorry for being a downer the last couple days, i think my new meds might possibly be exacerbating my normal issues. either way i appreciate you for taking the time to say something nice and help dissuade my brain from going "everyone on earth thinks you're evil and wretched". ;_;
ehhh i started rambling so i'm putting a cut here
i'm really hoping that my brain will get used to the chemical change but it's possible that the next couple weeks are gonna be rough bc i have to steadily increase my dose over the course of fifteen days and THEN i can wait and hope that it plateaus out.
it's kind of scary bc i know when i get to That Place mentally my ability to ignore or *~Logic~* my way out of acknowledging that i have feelings dissipates entirely and instead my brain starts doing math to prove how awful i am etc. then that compiles onto circumstantial issues that are tangible and that i cannot fix and things get very bad.
i think the fact that it's been almost a year since i've been able to see my family / FL friends is impacting me really negatively, but every means of getting there is very expensive. :( I'm planning on driving down this december but trying to make sure i have enough money to do so has been very difficult and stressful. i feel rly awful bc i genuinely don't think i'm going to be able to get down there AND get christmas presents for people, i just don't have a way to make that much money.
i spend a lotttt of time isolating when things get bad but every now and then i really do need some kind of physical human comfort and there's only so much oxytocin i can trick my body into making by holding hot cups or petting cats.
i find that i generally don't find it productive to talk to people about problems that i can't fix or mediate in some way... commiserating doesn't feel productive to me and i feel like i'm wasting the time and energy of the person i'm talking to. i like to just figure out solutions to problems but if there isn't a solution then i just get frustrated and sad. posting stuff here is a little bit different at least because i'm not cornering someone into a conversation that they feel obligated to respond to. people are allowed to ignore or block my posts and even if you read them you're never obligated to say anything. i like not putting that pressure on people. even still sometimes i feel like i'm just talking for no reason so i write a post and delete it or go put it on my private vent blog.
anyway sorry to anyone who does read this, that was a lot more talking than i thought i'd do, haha. that's your spadefish von tumblr mental health lore for the year i guess

All the Halloween asks for whomever needs more attention >:))
I was holding onto this for a WHILE thank you for asking!!!!
I was deliberating about who to talk about but I'm thinking a lot about Henry. I'll do Henry <3
now the cool thing about not having seen all of the source material is that I'm pretty sure I'll be Making Some of This Stuff Up. but all of this is made up so it's chill, right?
do you & your f/o decorate your house? if you have an idea of what it looks like, show us!
Okay so the Man Cave has like five of the saddest little decorations hung up like halfway through the month, UNLESS Schwoz is given the go ahead to take over decoration, which Ray would rarely do. But then it looks nice. And they'd like, change the LEDs to be exclusively orange or purple for the month. Charlotte plays like, classic Halloween music over the speakers whenever she gets the chance, like real Spooky Scary Skeletons stuff, the good tunes. Usually when Ray's not home. Junk N Stuff does not get trick or treaters.
At my little apartment, I like string lights, little paper decorations I make myself and tape up, and like, maybe some sweet little vermont country store-type pumpkin or soft fabric witch doll that I saw at an Aldi or something and felt my heart breaking at the idea of not taking it home. This Em would like scented candles, I think, even if they forget to light them at home. Henry has bigger, bolder ideas, a real fake-cobweb-and-caution-tape-type decorator when he's excited about the space and the freedom it stands for. He helps me decorate c:
2. is your f/o from a horror movie/game/series? if not, would you make an AU where they were (like a vampire AU or something similar)?
Henry would make a spectacular vampire thrall. Ray as the vampire, Henry as the human-for-now-question-mark servant running errands and doing his dirty work and getting all tangled up in centuries-old drama with extremely dangerous figures. Servitude, power, loyalty, all of those dynamics. It'd be fun.
3. does your f/o even like halloween, or do they like on of the other holidays?
Yeah, he's down! The vibes are good, and while it's not his favorite holiday, it's way more low-stakes than some of the other holidays. He's a low-effort costume kinda guy and likes the freedom of being able to bounce from a party if he needs to. Like, something like Christmas, that's sooo much prep work and then he's locked into high-importance family traditions for like hours at a time. And he's never not had to worry the entire time about coming up with a lie that will let him leave Christmas morning to go to work. Halloween's easy-peasy. He's good at wearing costumes.
4. what would be your f/o's favorite horror/halloween themed film?
He definitely strikes me as a Jason guy looool. Big, powerful, unstoppable, iconic. Not as agitating as Freddy or Chuckie, just a little bit cooler than Michael (in his opinion. I still haven't seen Halloween, so i can't speak on that :P). But I do think he'd like slashers. I think one of the Friday the 13ths was one of the first horror movies he chose to watch, so he kind of latched onto the franchise young as a badge of honor. There's a million of them. They don't have to be good. He takes Manhattan. Come on.
5. what is your f/o's costume this year? tell us yours too!
Oh my GOD we go as the two newscasters. Everybody in Swellview would recognize it immediately we would have a couple scripts to bounce back and forth to really nail it that would be so fucking funny. I want to write that nowwww
6. do you and your f/o attend any parties/festivals/other events? this can be either for halloween or just for celebrating the fall season!!
ohhh yeah I would absolutely love to... there's so much of that stuff that I haven't gotten to do from an adult's angle. This SI is a little more, ehhh, cultured? experienced? than irl me, but when they've previously gone to events like this, it's been with a purpose, as either an trust-building fake-date with a mark or as an intel-gathering solo outing. Or, sometimes, a solitary, quiet, autonomy-affirming outing. So going to anything with Henry– a pumpkin patch, a haunted house, a cider tasting?– like, just for us, On Purpose, that has the opportunity to be really... weird. And special. Em would go tentatively and awkwardly nuts for that kind of thing. (Henry would think that was awesome.)
7. what's your f/o's favorite candy? are they the type to share or keep it all for themselves?
SKITTLES BOY. SOUR SKITTLES BOY. What else does he like probably something weird like Baby Ruths. Prefers milky ways to snickers but doesn't like three musketeers, somehow. Likes Twix, which is the right opinion, but has an opinion on the sides of it and im like dude stop engaging with the marketing scam. Man I should probably be thinking of this in terms of silly fake Swellview candies but I want to think about real candies. He doesn't actually really like the Lil Hugs juice barrels but covets them anyway. He and Piper would always fight over colors, especially when they went trick-or-treating together. Definitely fruit-flavored over chocolate, so we usually fit together nicely in that regard.
8. if your f/o is from a series that has a special halloween episode, please tell us about it and how your s/i fits into it!
Okay so the show DOES and I've only seen one and a half of them. The season 5 one was funny and ridiculous and gave us a canon idea of what songs Ray thinks are cool. I watched half of the season 1 halloween episode, and I KNOW they did a stranger things parody at some point, but my SI wouldn't be around that early, so that's fine! They would be ALL FUCKING OVER trying to tell Henry a story that would scare him. They'd probably cross some kind of content line and the story they'd tell would be an embellished real story and they'd get a kind of "stop, that's not scary, that's messed up. and very sad." so they'd sit back so the episode could go onto the next skit c:
9. freebie question if you want to say anything else about how you and your beloved spend the season!
...I would really want to help give out candy in his parents' neighborhood. I would very cautiously ask him if we could. Picking the candy, gushing over kids' costumes, just sitting on the porch with him... that would be so, so nice.

I might argue that. I got interested in Star Wars as a kid, cause I saw Empire Strikes Back on local TV. I was like "hey I want to see all the star wars!" so we got A New Hope and Return of the Jedi on VHS and I was like "AWESOME! I WANT MORE!"
But sadly for baby!foone, this was like 1994. There was no more star wars. No prequels yet, no sequels, no rogue one or solo, no clone wars, no clone wars, no mandalorians, no acolytes, no ashokas, no kenobis, no andors*. I was out of Star Wars**. And I wasn't happy.
So my mom was like "hey foone why don't you try Star Trek?" "well, is it like star wars?" "ehhh. A bit? It's in space" "close enough. Show me this Star Trek!" and now I'm a lifelong Star Trek fan.
Basically I'm saying that if I was a baby today I might never get into Star Trek, because I wouldn't run out of Star Wars so quickly. And that'd really be a shame. No offense to the original trilogy of Star Wars, but Star Trek has been far more impactful on my life. A world where I never get into Star Trek would be a sad one.
* I'm aware this isn't 100% complete. The number of animated shows is pretendous and I ran out of energy to list them, even with the Wikipedia article open so I can just copy them.
** technically untrue: there was more star wars: the Christmas special, the droids/ewoks cartoons, the two Ewoks movies, and the EU. But I wasn't aware of this at the time.
There sure is a lot of Star Wars these days
