Here are my headcanons for if the welcome home characters joined the muppets when the muppet show started since welcome home was taken off of platforms!
☆□•-------------------•□☆
(In this au there won't be any dark or horror stuff bc this will be if welcome home wasn't a horror thing and was an actual show so if you want horror this isn't a horror au.)
[That means home and the others are normal and the show isn't dark]
☆□•-------------------•□☆
-
In the mid-70s, when The Muppet Show was being made, the company that owned welcome home decided to make a deal with Jim Henson to where he gets to own the characters and officially use them in any muppet related stuff because of the downfall of welcome. Jim Henson accepted the offer and got the rights to the welcome Home series.
Jim updated all the welcome home puppets a little (just small tweaks and some updated outifts.) to make them look newer and better quality.
They then were added into The Muppet Show, and the characters appear in the theme songs and multiple episodes.
They added some skits for the characters (example: Eddie trying to deliver mail, but all the muppet dogs chase him away).
Most of the Welcome Wome characters acted the same as they did in Welcome Home except for Wally. Wally was made to be a little less childish (he still acted childish at times), and he flirted with some of the women on the show and liked getting kisses from them.
The WH characters acted a little more mature than they did in the show and would make a few adult jokes.
They would appear in:
All seasons of The Muppet Show.
Background cameos in the 1979 muppet movie.
The great muppet caper (as happiness hotel workers)
Some other muppet movies (as background characters or they get small lines)
Muppets (2011) (with small talking lines and in the Muppet Telethon scene) (Howdy would be a part of the barbershop quartet in the barbershop scene)
Muppets Most wanted (Wally would get a few lines, and the others would get background appearances)
The Jim Henson Hour (They would be in some of the skits or in the background)
Muppets Tonight (Wally would appear in the Paula Abdul episode where he would get a kiss from her, and Clifford would get angry at Wally)
Muppets 2015 series (All the WH characters would be in it and get a good amount of screen time)
Muppets Mayhem (Eddie and Sally would get a small appearance in an episode)
☆□•-------------------•□☆
Wally would be more of a main character in the muppets.
Welcome Home would have reruns every year on its birthday month on the Disney Channel.
Some of the characters would have also appeared on talk shows.
☆□•-------------------•□☆
Anyways that's it for now! If you wanna make fanart of this au or if you have any questions, feel free to do so!!(Just pls tag me)🌟

Muppet Fact #666
There has been almost 20 instances of demons or the devil appearing in Muppet related media. About three times in The Muppet Show, technically six times in Dinosaurs, twice in Muppet Babies, once in Muppets Tonight, The Muppets, The Jim Henson Hour, The Storyteller, Sesame Street, and Miss Piggy's Guide to Life.
The instances in The Muppets, Muppet Babies, and Miss Piggy's Guide to Life are all examples of the devil (and angel) on your shoulder. The "devil" in Sesame Street is just Maria in a Halloween costume.

Propaganda
Rita Moreno (Singin' in the Rain, West Side Story)—She’s an EGOT, an absolute legend for how she navigated her career as a woman of color in the fifties and sixties. Her performance as Anita in West Side Story is why I go back to that movie so many times. She is an icon and she is the moment.
Angela Lansbury (The Harvey Girls, The Court Jester, The Manchurian Candidate)—The babe, the myth, the legend. In her own words her early hollywood roles were "a series of venal bitches" and they were all glorious. Half of them wanted to kill you and you probably would have thanked them. She even goes toe to toe with Judy Garland in The Harvey Girls! That said, she was chronically underused and misused during this era - she was just 36 when she was cast as Elvis Presley's mother in Blue Hawaii and a few years later commented that she'd played so many 'old hags' that most people thought she was in her 60s. She thought she was "all talent, no looks" but she was the full package! Post-1970 I hope we all know what an incredibly talented and compassionate badass she was, but I feel like not enough people know her early roles as a hot (often villainous) young thing.
This is round 4 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Rita Moreno propaganda:
"Amazing showstopping actress in her one big memorable role as Anita in West Side Story. She sings and dances with unmatched joy and energy, and then breaks your heart with her acting. Rita took a role that felt as a stereotype to latina women and made it compelling and multifaceted. Her subsequent career was filled with mostly side roles, but she still managed to excel in whatever Hollywood threw at her."
"It’s Rita!! The EGOT herself! She can act, she can sing, she can dance, a triple threat. Obviously absolutely iconic as Anita in West Side Story (her part of the Tonight Quintet is the sexiest part of the film, fight me). But before that she was the amazing Zelda in Singin’ In the Rain!?! Thanks Zelda, you’re a real pal."
"She continues to be amazing but also she's got legs for days."
"THEE iconic rita moreno, EGOT winner, civil rights activist, theatre legend. watch her documentary "Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It". also her rendition of "fever" on the muppet show"
youtube
Angela Lansbury:
"Angela Lansbury might not be where your mind goes first when you think of hot leading women, because she had a later career revival. But she began acting in the early 1940s after leaving London due to the Blitz. In the first couple decades of her film career she has an openness about her. She said she never really fit in with the Hollywood crowd and to me she gives off a friendly, untarnished vibe."
64.media.tumblr.com
64.media.tumblr.com
"Most of us know Angela Lansbury as old lady sleuth Jessica Fletcher, but it's important to know that she was smoking hot in her younger days as well as a damned fine actress. Although she didn't get lead roles until her early 40s, at 17 she was a supporting actress in films such as Gaslight (1944), National Velvet (1944), and The Picture of Dorian Grey, for which she won the Golden Globe for best supporting actress and was nominated for the Oscar. Even in her memorable performance as the manipulative mother in The Manchurian Candidate, she is listed as a supporting actress as she does not play the love interest. She was successful both on stage and screen, and won the Tony for her lead role in the musical Mame on Broadway in 1966. TL;DR While Angela Lansbury mostly played supporting roles in films before 1970, she had what it takes to be a leading actress, which we know from her success on stage and tv from the mid 60s onward"
"She looked like a princess but bit like a viper"
"Is there anything this woman couldn't do? Act in comedy and drama, sing, dance, be a wonderful human being - quite simply a true and wonderful lady."
"she is the fairytale princess of my dreams in court jester"
"god she had such an incredible career all throughout her life really but as a young lady she was just as incredible as she was in her later years. enchanting voice, amazing personality, and absolutely GORGEOUS. she lamented not having the looks to play leads in romance but that idea is so batshit because look at her??? she's one of the most terrific women of all time. also she's my grandmother's favorite actress and i truly get it"

Wanting To Hold You
I actually wanted to keep the whole 10 prompts as reader asking for a kiss and characters responding, but man, I just couldn't pass an opportunity to make Ghost beg. Desperation looks good on a man :)
CW: gn!reader, reader is a tease and a menace (lovingly), Ghost is touch-starved and absolutely whipped, a tiny bit suggestive. Johnny makes an unforgettable appearance.
(Title from "Open Arms" by Jorney, which is kinda Ghost coded imo. as any song about a man horrendously in love is)
Simon Riley is a menace. That's no news flash, you've known that since that very first time you saw his looming figure in a mask that only a certain kind of person can pull off without seeming like a total weirdo or clown, and Ghost is (usually) neither of those. Spending five minutes in a conversation with him only confirms for anyone that Simon is, indeed, a menace, and that you just have to accept that fact and bear with his rich persona if you want to have any business with him at all.
If you want to get close to him, you're bound to love that he's a menace.
And you do.
But no one ever said you can't be a menace in return. Especially when Simon gets too full of himself, basking in the feeling of always getting his way, now that he's a mountain of a man with a death stare and according reputation, not a trapped and tormented shell of a young boy watching helplessly his world turn to hell.
No harm in giving him a taste of his own medicine. Not after he had been particularly demanding last few days, refusing to let you out of bed in the mornings and clinging to you throughout breakfast and your preparations for work. It's the rain, you know it makes him needy, foggy head focused only on getting his arms full of someone warm and soft, smelling nice too.
No need to make you late for work, though. Having a cuddle monster in your apartment doesn't impress your boss as a valid reason, you know.
That's how you find yourself playing with the black blazing flame that Ghost is, dancing around him all night - you have his whole team over for an obligatory football game and a satisfying, fat dinner everyone contributes to. Wearing his surname on your back, draped in big, possessive letters of his old T-shirt, you flutter around, slapping his fingers away mercilessly as he tries to get into the dessert ahead of everything else. With a stern look, you make a point out of licking the spoon - rightfully his spoon, the one he always gets to clean with his tongue - clean so he gets nothing, except Johnny's mocking laugh as he watches his Lieutenant stand in front of the kitchen counter with a dumbfounded, almost pouting look.
"Behave, or I'll give your second portion to Johnny," you add to the insult with a devilish smile, passing Simon as if his big, brown, betrayed eyes aren't pulling on every string your soul has.
"Fat bastard will fookin' burst if ya let him 'ave three!" Your little plan would've gone to shit if Simon managed to grab you around your waist and pull in for a kiss as reparations for the dessert spoon denial, but that's why you shamelessly drag Soap into this mess too: as soon as Simon barks out his accusation, Johnny scoffs loudly and retorts.
While they're bickering over your casserole slowly baking ready, you successfully escape the kitchen to visit Kyle and John, who are busy with setting dinner table and listening to the pregame commentary on TV.
"At each other's throats again, are they?" Kyle's chuckle betrays no surprise as you nod happily, putting a cool beer bottle in his hand and earning a playful kiss on your knuckles.
"Muppets gonna burn our food if they keep tha' up," grumbles Price, munching on a stolen cucumber slice - since he is not the one who's getting your revenge tonight, you simply move the little plate closer to him and sit down, relaxing. Having four additional pairs of capable hands makes dinner nights much easier, so you enjoy your time lounging with your man's Captain and Sergeant until it's time to start.
It feels almost cruel to touch-starve Simon, with pretend innocence sliding your palm from under his when he wraps his fingers around yours out of habit between eating - you're not doing this out of malice, of course, you just want to pass Kyle some pepper or move a glass pitcher out of Johnny's way before he tips it over. Your thighs don't touch under the table, and when all five of you move to the living room to watch the game with whatever everyone grabs - snacks, beer, tea and dessert (you let Simon has his seconds, even though his eyes bore into you with silent indication it's not pudding he's craving already) - you sit next to him.
Not in his lap, like his wide stance implies.
First half of the game Simon seems to watch you more than football, drilling a burning hole in your skull, slght frown forming between his blond eyebrows. Are you angry with him? Did he fuck up? Somehow managed to forget an important date, even though they're all branded into his brain? Promised to run some errand and forgot? Left the goddamn toilet seat up, even though he's always the one who watches it when his teammates are over, since Johnny manages to forget every single time?
But you don't look angry, that's the problem. Neither do you seem upset or uncomfortable. After all, you would tell him if you were.
You're simply denying him what he wants, and Simon fucking Riley cannot wrap his stubborn head around this turn of events.
You don't think you can withhold your affection much longer by the end of the game: Simon looks positively unhappy, grumpy and gloomy, as he ditches the aftergame smoke and argument with the boys and follows you into the kitchen, a silent shadow on a mission to get what he wants one way or the other.
His burly arms wrap around your waist as you throw some napkins away, and you smile triumphantly.
"Everything okay, big boy?" Your cheerfulness is a bit too much, and Simon makes a miserable noise in response, nuzzling into the crook of your neck, mangled lips pressing urgent kisses to your skin, trailing along your jawline - you have to wiggle away quickly, turning around in his big embrace and leaning back against the counter with a fake question in your eyes.
"C'mon, lovie, I jus' wanna kiss ya, c'mere, eh?" He leans in and you finally drop the act, stopping him directly, with your fingers over his mouth.
The look he gives you is priceless. Sheer disbelief mixed with need, a little kid watching Santa snatch the last cookie off the plate and devour it with no crumbs left to share.
"Then ask me nicely for a kiss, Si," you purr, and that sweet smile you give him - bloody hell, you look so proud of your mischief, a naughty child yourself, unable to conceal your excitement over having him beg.
He won't. Simon Riley doesn't beg, he takes what he wants or accepts defeat with head held high. If that's the game you're playing, he'll just have to accept the rules and starve you in return, until it's you who's crawling to him for a single snuggle and smooch.
That's what he wants to think, but you stick out your lips just a little, a condescending look on your face - you've caused him to be this pent up over a bloody kiss and you dare to look at him as if you're pitying him! - and he's gone.
"How nice do I 'ave to be, lovie?" His poor throat constricted to the point of rasping.
Fucking putty in your hands, he is.
You pretend to think, a picture with your finger rubbing your chin, before you finally run your hand over Simon's nape, tugging on his outgrown hair to pull him even closer and whisper:
"Ask very nicely, hm?"
There's still a flicker of that fire you're playing with in his eyes - oh, he'll get back at you for sure. When his knees stop buckling and his spine becomes firm and rigid, not soft and pliant under your touch.
Simon Riley kneels before you in your kitchen, smelling of casserole, pudding and beer, and folds his arms behind his back, catching his own elbows in his big palms. Nothing to tie him down aside your words, he isn't worried his teammates might see him like this in the slightest.
"Please, lovie. Can I have a kiss? I've missed you the whole evening."
You're a goner just like him once he looks up at you with his big, hooded eyes - primal need and actual hint of blues just from several hours without your healing touch.
"That was very nice. Maybe you should do that more often," you exhale, attempts to keep yourself in check futile, and lean forward, cupping his face for a kiss, longing lips pressing and sucking through rapid, needy huffs of breaths, Simon's arms still bound by his will behind his back so you can push and pull him any way you want - the only plea he mouths silently into the needy tangling of your mouths is to not let go a little longer.
Johnny's never been as silent as when he walked in on Simon moaning into your lips at a simple tug on his hair.

Hey there lovelies. Gosh, it's been a long week. I'm so sorry it's taking so long for me to catch up on things. Things continue to be chaotic here, and I wish I was out there honking with you. You all have been doing such a great job, and I hope that you're getting some of the fun energy going around. This is a quick one tonight since I'm so behind, but I want you to know I'm thinking of you, and wanted to remind you to take some time for yourself. A dear friend reminded me of this today (and so many of you have lately, sorry I forget to respond to messages) and it really is important. Some people spend their whole day taking care of others, and it's easy to forget to take care of yourself. Please go take a shower, drink some water, eat something good, and just spend some time doing something you love. Be well lovelies, take care of yourselves <3

This was technically the 5th, but I don't think the excitement happened mostly today so I'm gonna throw it in! So Chaos Dad popped his head out yesterday just long enough to like Samba's BTS post on twitter and then also Samba and Rhys' little exchange.
And of course that triggered clowning since anytime Chaos Dad pops in we don our clown shoes. Thank you to @merryfinches for catching some of the discourse!

There's some speculation around the market research company YouGov potentially conducting research on OFMD. There's a big thread. Why is this important? Well this company works with streamers to measure viewership data, and if OFMD is in there...and someone's interested, that could be a good sign.
Some folks signed up, and if you're interested in doing so too, you can here.
== Articles ==
Some fun articles tonight, including Hard Drive again!

== Personal Update ==
Some of you have heard, I got the COVID so I may be in and out over the next several days, I'm still trying to make sure I get to recaps though so don't worry! I'll let you know if I can't. Remember to mask up if you can and stay hydrated out there luvs!
== Love Notes ==
Alright lovelies. We've run out of Rhys videos for a few days so you're back to me being irritatingly loving at you! I saw this today on The Latest Kate's instagram and it reminded me of a few things I wanted to say. My brain is a bit covid-fogged so apologies if it's a bit wibbly wobbly.
We all struggle with so many little and big things in our lives. Whether it's mental health, self esteem, a physical ailment, love, lonliness, self-identity, family, friends, world conflicts, or anything, I could go on and on.
I know sometimes it feels like you are pushing so hard and you start making so much progress-- and then something, big or little stalls everything and you feel like you're having to start from scratch again.
I just want to send you a gentle reminder that progress isn't always linear. Just because you have lost momentum doesn't mean you've lost your progress. Every single situation is a learning opportunity and every time you run into a new hurdle, you learn from the last one.
You are wonderfully intelligent, kind, precious, complex people and no matter what you're dealing with, no matter how small or how big, you are moving forward and making headway bits at a time. Remember to be kind to yourself and don't beat yourself up for bad days.
We are so proud of you lovelies, remember that.
== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==
Tonight's gifs are courtesy of the glorious, brilliant, talented, ever-enabling @celluloidbroomcloset from her post over here.
Ok, Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Goodnight all! <3

The Good Ol' Rugby Game
It's the middle of the so called "work week" and you know what that means:
IT'S WIP WEDNESDAY
I was thinking about Rugby AUs because have you seen the thighs on those lads? But I don't know anything about Rugby tbh this is just vibes and thots. Something somethin elaborate rituals. But it's also fun. Pardon my errors I wrote most of this on discord today
Reader is a trans man - No name but he's referred to as Ripper by Simon and Johnny because they think he's like a little terrier/ankle biter on the pitch (It's a pitch for rugby, right?). And he is.
Contains: Mentions of alcohol, mentions of rugby, takeout food, Johnny and Simon, bros being bros, you know how it is
You've won.
It takes a minute for the cheering to register, for you to realize that the whistle's been blown and the game is finished, and by the time you do realize, you're in the air, brawny arms hooked around your middle, flying until you hit the ground hard, Johnny on top of you. "Fuckin' beautiful!" He shouts, his voice hoarse. And then an even heavier weight drops down on the two of you, squeezing all your air out.
"Brilliant, lads," Simon growls, knocking his forehead against yours. "Fuckin' perfect play."
"Riley, you're going to break me if you don't get your fat arse up," you grouse. "You too, Tav. Fuckin' muppets."
"Aw, love you too, Ripper," Johnny lands a wet, sweaty kiss on the side of your head before he shoulders Simon off the two of you and pounces on the giant, kissing him on the mouth with zeal.
You get up with a groan, your whole body one big fucking bruise. "Shoulda picked football," you complain to no one in particular. "I'm going to feel this forever."
Johnny swats at you blindly as you limp off, somehow managing to connect, his hand a guided missile that's only capable of targeting asses.
It’s just an amateur league— You know that, everyone on both sides of the pitch know, but it feels like your neighbourhood never got the memo. As the seasons gone on, more and more people have been showing up, wearing green and white, and when you go out to the pub after games, you never have to buy your own pints. It’s almost like being a girl again, except now you feel at home in your own skin, and the only person that tries to grab your arse is Johnny.
You know it’s Johnny and Simon that everyone’s there for, and you don’t care— You’re proud of your huge friends. They joined the league a little after you did, newly retired from the military, both of them with too much energy and muscle and training to not play some kind of sport. And they rope you into training with them. Runs with Simon so early in the morning it’s still practically dark, running drills on free afternoons in the park, tagging along to the gym and watching Johnny lift insane amounts of weight. It’s more fun than you think you’ve ever had.
You’re definitely a third wheel, but they’re good about it, obviously together but obviously wanting you around, careful to include you.
And it feels good to be one of the boys.
You grab your bag from under the bench and head off the pitch, eager to go home and shower the grass stains and flecks of someone else’s blood off of you, maybe curl up with a pint of dark beer and a pint of chocolate ice cream. Everyone’s likely going out for drinks, but you’ve been jostled around plenty for the day, head still ringing a bit from an elbow you took to the side of the head during a scrum.
“Hey, Ripper,” Johnny yells after you. He has lungs, even after a game of shouting himself hoarse. “Ye comin’ to tha pub?”
“Nah, not tonight,” you shout back. “Can’t be arsed. Goin’ home to order a Chinese.”
He’s about halfway deflating, and perks back up at the mention of greasy take out. “Order for Si ‘n’ me too, aye? We’ll be round in an hour.”
“Alright!” you call back, because that’s easier than shouting across a crowd that you were really looking forward to cozying up in front of the tv and— Oh, right. “Bring beer!” That saves you a stop on your way home.
You get home and scramble to clean up a bit-- Johnny doesn't mind a bit of mess, but Simon will stare at clutter like it personally offends him (because it does), or worse, just start tidying up. He always tells you you're not as bad as Johnny, but it's not much of a consolation. Half the mess is your roommate's anyway, who is at her girlfriend's for the weekend, again. It likely won't be long till she moves out, and you'll have to leave your cozy little spot. But at least you now have large friends to help you move.
That done, you order takeaway and pop into the shower, tossing your sweaty uniform into your hamper, and you're just getting dressed again when someone knocks at your door. You nearly forget to tuck your packer into the pocket you've sewn into all your boxers, remembering only as you almost reach the door. If anyone on God's green earth will notice that you suddenly don't have anything in your pants where you usually do, its Johnny.
"Takin' ages," he complains when you finally do answer the door. Behind him, Simon is paying for the takeout, making the delivery man look so nervous it would be funny if you didn't feel bad.
"Didn't have pants on yet. And Si, you don't have to--" He shoves the paper bag at you, cutting you off. Okay. Fair enough.
Johnny kicks his boots off haphazardly at the door. Simon takes his off neatly and sets both pairs neatly to the side.
Johnny's already in the kitchen, stowing beers in the fridge, then banging cupboards open and shut looking for plates. You'd think he'd remember by now, but he never does.
"You guys didn't have to skip the pub, you know," you say, unpacking the bag of takeout on the coffee table. "Everyone'll want to congratulate you."
"S'no fun without our little Ripper," Johnny says, tossing you one of the few beers you did have in the fridge, grinning. "Wouldn't even bother with the league without you."
"Don't be ridiculous," you say, laughing. "You guys are good. Best we've got."
#WIP WEDNESDAY BAYBEE#I'm gonna learn about Rugby I promise#I just haven't yet#In this part they're mostly not playing rugby anyway#Johnny and Simon find a scrappy little dude and are like “Oh we're keeping him forever”#Johnny would also absolutely notice if Ripper forgot his packer tbh#“Hey Ripper where's ur cock?” Just like 👀🤔#cave writing

Haunted House (Fox Mulder X Reader)
Welcome to the Muldermuse October spooky writing thing!!!!!!!!
I posted a drabble earlier and here is something slightly longer. Hope u enjoy <3333
You know someone is home; the lights are on, the muppets is blaring on the TV and there are toys littered across the hallway. Dinner was halfway cooked and left simmering on the hob, there was a glass of wine poured for you, yet there was no one around.
Usually, when you returned home from work you were greeted by the stomping running feet of your 3 year old daughter with Fox shouting hello from whichever room of the house he was in. Tonight, the house looked lived in but with no sight of your small family.
“Hellooo, anyone home?” You shout as you kick off your shoes and shrug your jacket off your shoulders. By looking at the carnage in the living room, it looked like Fox and May had had a busy Friday. Barbies were sat up on the couch with colour blocks and crayons covering the floor. Blankets and pillows were displaced and it looked like Fox had attempted to make a fort, which you imagine your daughter was either completely uninterested in or destroyed in 30 seconds with a huge grin on her face.
You hear a giggle and running feet upstairs, it’s quick and you can hear Fox shushing as the movement stops. You can hear hushed voices as what you assume is your bedroom door creaks closed. You slowly head up the stairs, trying to listen out for any further noise.
“May? Fox? Is anyone home? I think I can hear a ghost” You call as you inch further up the stairs. You can hear your daughter’s muffled giggle as you make it to the top floor of your home. The only light to illuminate the upstairs is a lamp and the longer you stare at it; the darker everything seems to be.
You can imagine how excited your daughter is, your mischievous girl is probably thrilled at the prospect of terrifying her mom after a long day at work. Her and Fox had most likely planned this escapade earlier in the day with both of them counting down the hours until they could scare you. To be honest, you’re actually incredibly impressed at how quiet she’s being so you decide it’s time for the big scare.
You walk over to the master bedroom and exclaim, “I hope the house isn’t haunted!”. As you put your hand on the doorknob, a small figure wearing a white bed sheet runs out shouting BOO. You reach down to pick your daughter up and spin her around as she breaks into a fit of giggles.
“Ghost!” She exclaims as you pepper her sheet covered face with kisses. Fox is leaning against the doorframe with a huge smirk on his face. Fatherhood suits him more than you ever expected. He isn’t as clean cut as when you first got together. He has more stubble, his hair is mostly a mess and his wire rimmed glasses always sit at the bridge of his nose. “I think we scared Mom, May”.
You place your daughter back on the ground as she looks up at you through the cut out holes in her white bedsheet. Her eyes are identical to her fathers and you think about how every day she looks more like Fox. “Scary, right Mom?” She says as she wraps her ghostly arms around your legs.
“Super scary” you reply as Fox winks at you as he places a kiss to your forehead.
“Welcome home to your haunted house, baby"

Cozy Winter Evening
12 Days of Christmas: Day 5
Plot: You and Malcolm take a break from crime and death to have a cozy Christmas movie marathon.
Pairing: Malcolm Bright x Gn!Reader
Warnings: None~
Words: 768; short and sweet
-
"Got the cookies?" Malcolm asked as he stirred the hot cocoa.
Setting the cookies onto a small dish you grinned "Yep, and they're perfect." You looked over at him and smiled "Ready?"
He smiled and nodded, following you back into the living room. Malcolm smiled at your obvious giddiness as you set the cookies down.
You had been looking forward to tonight for over a week. It got pushed back due to a murder case, but now you finally had your evening to relax and watch Christmas movies.
Sitting on the couch, he chuckled as he lifted the pile of blankets you brought with you "Think we have enough?"
"Not nearly" You said jokingly as you sat beside him, grabbing the blankets and lying them across you.
As you cuddled into Malcolm's side, he stretched his arm back across the couch behind you. The fireplace was crackling nearby as the rain pattered lightly outside.
Grabbing the remote you hummed "Alright, which one first?"
Malcolm shrugged "Home Alone?"
"Or Elf? Which I cannot believe you have never seen."
He shrugged his head "Eh, I wasn't too into Christmas at the time."
"That's fair" You commented before you looked over at him "Elf, Home Alone, and then How the Grinch Stole Christmas?"
"What about Die Hard?"
You tilted your head "We're not watching Die Hard, Malcolm."
"It's a Christmas movie!"
"Not a cozy night on the couch Christmas movie" You laughed.
He pouted playfully and you rolled your eyes.
"Fine, we can watch Die Hard, if, we watch a Muppet's Christmas Carol too."
Malcolm tilted his head back as he stared at you for a moment, contemplating your offer. Letting out a soft smile he nodded "Deal."
You grinned as you turned back to the tv "But we're still watching Elf first."
He chuckled as he looked at you adoringly, "Fine with me."
Three movies, Chinese take out, and too many eaten Christmas cookies later, you stretched as you stood up from the couch as the credits rolled.
"Die Hard next right?"
You looked down at him before placing out your closed fist "One round. Winner get's to pick."
Malcolm eyed your hand and smirked "Alright."
Reaching out his own fist, you locked yes before you began moving your hands, and speaking in sync.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors, shoot!"
Seeing Malcolm's fist remain closed, as your fingers shot out, you let out a groan as he fist pumped "Yes!"
"Alright alright, Die Hard next" You said with a pout, but your tone gave away your amusement. "I'm gonna get some more cocoa first, do you want some."
Handing you his mug he smiled "Yes please."
Walking towards the kitchen, your eyes passed over the window. Stopping, you let out a soft gasp "It's snowing!"
Malcolm looked over at you before looking out the window, seeing the soft snow replacing the previous rain drops.
Getting up, he walked over to where you were now in front of the window. The small flakes melted as they hit the street below, but you still smiled brightly at the sight of them.
"First snow of the season." Malcolm said softly.
"Now it really feels like Christmas" You said with a smile.
Malcolm looked over at your face, seeing the obvious glee in the wrinkles at your eyes. No matter how many winters you saw, you always loved the first snow.
Malcolm really took in how he was feeling for the first time as he watched you. At first he did not feel the Christmas spirit, after everything that had been happening in his life. But you came bustling into his house with decorations and a tree. Even bringing decorations for Sunshine's cage.
You made him cocoa, and cookies and made him watch Christmas movies, and he loved every minute of it. In between the uncertainty and drama in his life, there was always you. And just as you looked at the first snow in awe, he looked at you the same way.
Reaching over, he rested his hand on your back as he pressed a soft kiss to your temple.
After another moment of watching the snow in silence, he finally broke the silence with an amused smile. "Okay, now go get the cocoa, John McClane is waiting."
You let out a soft laugh as you stepped away from the window "Alright, alright, sheesh. You and your Die Hard." You finished jokingly under your breath as you headed into the kitchen.
Malcolm watched you for another moment, with a grin on his face., before he returned to the couch and your ridiculous amount of blankets.

thank you for the tag @albonoooo <333
star sign: leo (attention whore signs 4 the win)
favourite holiday: my neighborhood does neighbor day every year and that’s a solid percentage of my favorite childhood memories. my neighborhood is very very close (very much so an “it takes a village” mentality) so i grew up with essentially twenty aunts and uncles. and also like ten dogs and thirteen vaguely cousin-esque figures on my block. anyways it’s like a massive potluck barbecue thing, it goes from like noon to whenever the last person heads in (which can be quite late). think like. potluck barbecue to casual day drinking to big bonfire w smores as the day goes by. as a kid i spent the whole day roaming the neighborhood and coming back every so often to grab food from the tables before heading off again. as an adult i got to get drunk on seltzers with a bunch of 50 somethings and it was incredible
last meal: omg it was my last ohio meal… i got it from this really special like local version of sonic’s (like a drive up food place). they make their burgers w a little bit of brown sugar and mashed banana (they’re the best burgers i’ve ever had). so i had a double hamburger w fries and a mint shake w brownie spindled in. if you’re ever driving through ohio PLEASE hit me up to get this place’s name it’s GLORIOUS. 1980s pricing (admittedly 80s portions too lol). neon signs everywhere. what i will miss the most
current favourite musician: i tend to just hit play on my liked songs so whatever i liked most recently gets played wayyyy more. a lot of the backseat lovers rn
last music listened to: mama’s gun by glass animals (BANGER OF A SONG!!!)
last movie watched: the muppet christmas carol i think . yeah according to letterboxd that lmfao
last tv show watched: i just binged monarch: legacy of monsters w my parents (amazing godzilla tv show but godzilla’s only in it for like. 10 minutes total lol. gay people <3) and then we started lockwood & co tonight on a whim
last book/fic finished: the invisible library by genevieve cogman !!! so good. librarian spy thieves…
last book/fic abandoned: oh gosh. i am such a completionist that i don’t think i ever leave books unfinished. technically i won’t be able to finish the masked city (the sequel to the invisible library) bc it belongs to the library and i am moving. but i will be picking it back up as soon as i have a library card in my new area so? does that even count? yeah i don’t really dnf things
currently reading: the masked city by genevieve cogman technically. lol. i’m trying to read at least a page a day in january. some days that means literally reading a page other days it’s reading 300. since i started the masked city like four days ago ive only made it through 30 pages bc moving is a nightmare so.
last thing researched for writing/art/hyperfixation: hm. technically for the last thing i like posted that would be the drug testing guidelines for f1 (tldr fun fact party drugs are fine out of competition). i read like. 60 pages of legalese. and a bunch of medical stuff and then several wikipedia pages and guides for athletes. the last wikipedia article i opened was for NATO and i have no idea why LOL
favourite online fandom memory: i have the memory of a goldfish… i’m also pretty sure f1 is the first time i’ve been involved w a fandom like. as it’s happening. i’m usually a latecomer . i did enjoy whatever the fuck went down w supernatural and putin that was fun second hand (literally thru a groupchat bc i was in my significantly less terminally online era aka i was in college)
favourite old fandom you wish would drag you back in/have a resurgence: newsies (1992) my beloved… i plotted out a fic that would stretch over like. 40 years. i went INSANE on historical accuracy research. and then i got depressed… someday my magnum opus (slice of life polyamory through turn of the century nyc) will come to fruition
favourite thing you enjoy that never had an active or big fandom, but you wish it did: i feel like there’s been a million times i’ve walked out of a movie (or finished a book, or a tv show) and gone to ao3 and then it has like. 4 works. the rivers of london series by ben aaronovitch only has like . 1k fics on ao3. and not a lot of ppl posting on tumblr. so maybe that?
tempting project you're trying to rein in/don't have time for: all of them tbh… runners au really (it’s spawned into like three different fics of plot lines Plus an epistolary type companion…). i literally constantly come up w ideas (usually hyper specific aus) all the time ask dees it’s a PROBLEM for me. bc i have no time for any of them…
no pressure tags if u wld like <3 @userkritaaay @leclercenjoyer @drivestraight @oscarpiastriwdc @eyes-likepilotlights (i have not paid a ton of attention to who has done this/been tagged sorry)
