Christmas tag game!

Thanks to @the-cinnamontography-is-amazing for the tag!

It's Festivus for the rest of us so grab your Chanukah bush, your mistletoe, your pagan ritual or whatever brings you joy and come gather round the fire and celebrate your pocket friends

Favorite nickname you’ve ever been given?

Probably Genie! My real name is not conducive to nicknames.

Where are you located?

I live in Boston but right now I'm in Maine!

What season is it where you are now?

Winter... ish. It's flooded, so thanks climate change.

Favorite tradition this time of year?

In 2014 my parents and I toured the Taittinger champagne cave in Reims, France (along with another cave and this was the first time I got drunk) so every year for New Year's Eve we get a bottle of Taittinger. Also my mom's birthday is the 27th and we used to always be traveling and usually with family so her birthday didn't get a lot of attention and got tiny little grocery store cakes, so I make her a cake every year. This year she asked for a cheesecake and it's going to be the best. Also, Hanukkah! My family is multicultural and I wouldn't trade Christmas and Hanukkah for anything.

Favorite holiday food?

Cinnamon rolls! We do them for Christmas brunch.

Mulled wine, eggnog or hot apple cider?

All of the above?? Favorite is probably hot apple cider, but I love eggnog because I love making it.

Turkey, ham or nut roast (Or Tofurkey?)?

We do scallops for Christmas! We do turkey at Thanksgiving and I love it. I also really like spiral ham but my family doesn't make that.

Would you rather spend the December holidays in: a cabin in the woods surrounded by snow, or a house on the beach with sun and sand?

Snowy cabin! As long as it has electricity. The rest of the year I'd pick the beach, though.

Are you pro-snow or anti-snow?

Pro-snow!!

Have you ever built a snowman?

Yes!

Skiing or snowboarding?

Skiing

Favorite holiday movie?

All the Rankin-Bass specials.

Favorite holiday fanfic?

If you were to star in a hallmark movie, who would be your love interest?

Danica McKellar, Hallmark actress who also played Elsie Snuffin in The West Wing.

What if my west wing AU is actually a television AU and we have the events of the show and the actors and I can parallel the storylines tho

Is that too much because I’m obsessed with kylo ren, who plays Ben solo on the show, and Armitage hux, who plays Brendol Hux, because if we’re choosing an actor to be Aaron sorkin, they would ALSO use the names of actors they frequently work with, like how the name Elsie snuffin comes form an actress we worked with whose surname was sniffin.

I can use pieces of the script, and get to practice using that format, and idk I just think this would be VERY FUN and I could include actually set antics from the west wing

Someone will be the Joshua Malina prankster and that means hux does the jackal and has club flamingo!!

I can combine my lifelong special interest and my new blorbos

Suicide bombers killed 17 US soldiers in Ghana. This’ll be what we’re talking about tomorrow. So, I’m going to put the tax plan aside and work on this.

[singingaboutwishingx]

i’m taking a survey

how do you guys think will bailey and elsie snuffin are related? like we know she’s his step-sister, but there are three options i’m picturing.

1. will’s mom died, and his dad remarried elsie’s mom.

2. will’s parents got divorced, and his dad remarried elsie’s mom.

3. will’s parents got divorced, and his mom remarried elsie’s dad.

if they said something in canon about one of his parents being dead/the divorce, i don’t remember it. i’m pretty certain his dad is still alive, but i don’t remember ever hearing about his mom. anyway please comment your thoughts. my personal opinion is that it’s the first one.

[lesbiandarvey]

so all the gals on the west wing who disappeared... they all went to work for congressman seaborn out in newport beach

cathy, the woman who ate his donut and he said he loved like a sister: his executive assistant!

ainsley hayes: his chief of staff!

elsie snuffin (will’s sister who writes jokes for the first lady): his communications director and press secretary!

and they all get drunk and gossip on friday nights and have sunday morning brunch. sam wears a tight polo shirt and ainsley hands him a mimosa

Will Bailey Making it rain!

Will there be an election day when I don’t post this?

No. There will not.

Although apparently there will be a day when I post it as a link, and not a video.

au + headcanon meme, summer camp au

HI OKAY YES!! i miss you so much oh my god. okay so some time last year, with the help of @palukoo i have a convoluted summer camp au in my head so every single good idea is because of them. literally all the credit.

josh is the head counselor, if that's even a thing. ham and i discussed him being the program director, pretty much, but he still has interactions with campers for my heart. josh is not exactly the "successor" for jed- he's pretty much training for leo's job as director of camp life. (i know. dying.) obviously josh/donna is paralleled here- donna is a self-hired CIT in josh's area. she started that job when she was 16, and after a few years, josh moved to head counselor and unofficial program director. so donna became his deputy!! which means she saves his ass when it comes to scheduling, and pretty much everything else. they're in love with each other forever, obviously, but nothing happens for years until one summer when they're 22 and 26. they attempt a secret relationship and dramatically fail, because everyone knows they've been in love with each other for half a decade.

cj is an area lead, because out of everyone she just seems like the best counselor. honestly, i can't imagine anyone more suited to boss kids around without making them hate her. she's in charge of a few specific things in administration, mainly camp outreach and like, recruitment. i can so picture cj getting people to join the camp and introducing jed and abbey to the concept of internet advertising, and eventually forcing jed into it after he stubbornly refuses to pay for anything except newspaper ads. she helps with the camp newsletter and student announcements. she eventually leaves the newspaper leadership to danny, who worked on it with her, and focuses fully on supervising the camp news show. it has nothing to do with toby being the script writer for "west wing daily," obviously. nothing at all.

toby is in charge of logistics and helps with the camp announcements, which really isn't at all his job but he does it for cj shhh. the two of them are the only couple at camp who have successfully hidden a romantic relationship for more than two summers, and that was only because toby and andy were literally married while they were with cj (yes its the ot3 no i will never shut up). andy is probably also a counselor and i love ham's idea of amy as her deputy, and they help cj with her outreach and recruitment in terms of leadership by leading a program for older campers to train them for volunteering as counselors in the future.

abbey and jed own the camp and are co directors. abbey is in charge of medical, which ellie helps out with (pretty much abbey is in charge but ellie is like the CIT for medical?) ellie is dating mal because i said so, and she's also a CIT.

basically our senior staff are all counselors in some regard in this au, and they're all in their older 20s. donna is like 20 or 21, i would say. since this is a volunteer camp, all the senior staffers are both area leads and have some position in administration- so like sam is toby's deputy, helping with logistics and leads a ton of activities. he teaches a debate class with ainsley and each year, half the kids are just there to see them argue and bet on how long they can delay class by spurring them on.

bonus list of all roles that i made last year:

josiah bartlet — owns the camp, director

claudia jean cregg — area lead, helps with camp news/journalism class, sports, camp outreach

tobias ziegler — in charge of program/logistics, camp newsletter

samuel seaborn — area lead (with toby sort of), swim leader, debate w/ ainsley, writing, logistics

leopold mcgarry — director of camp life, in charge of the counselors

donnatella moss — self hired CIT in josh’s area, moved up to a deputy area lead, crafts class

abigail bartlet — owns the camp, director, in charge of medical 

william bailey — lifeguard, writing

elsie snuffins — CIT, helps with writing class

katherine harper — adventure leader, teaches self-defense and shooting range

annabeth schott — theater class

amelia gardner — counselor, deputy area lead, art classes/balloon animals, helps w/ mentorship

josephine lucas and mr. kenneth thurman — arts leader

matthew and helen santos — publicity managers / day to day stuff?

ainsley hayes — counselor, debate class w/ sam, maybe horseback riding

daniel concannon — counselor, maybe helps cj with news

margaret hooper — assistant to the director of camp life, teaches craft classes

andy wyatt — area lead, andy amy and cj do mentoring stuff

carol fitzpatrick — cj’s CIT 

ginger webster — CIT (helps toby w/ logistics)

bonnie parikh — CIT (helps toby w/ logistics)

ellie bartlet — CIT, 16, works in medical

mal o’brien  — CIT, 16, good with little kids

liz bartlet — counselor, helps out in a lot of places

mrs. landingham — camp’s beloved chef, teaches cooking class

campers— zoey, charlie, annie, gus, hogan, deanna, peter, miranda, others

[thxngam]

Any recent ww fics youve liked?

oh you betcha! be prepared to see like the contents of the first five pages of the TWW AO3 page bc i have absolutely no Self Control with these

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30689858: handle with care by berkingbad: you do need an account for this fic. TW: main character death though you never see the character. set in some sad, heartbreaking AU where leo dies during the bartlet admin not on election day in season 7. all the same, very very sad, and a lovely closeup on donna and josh’s relationship during that hypothetical time.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30661691: Coruscate w/ no author--an AU with grey’s anatomy vibes with josh as a resident (i think?) and paramedic!sam. literally josh being in love with his coworker sam and panicking and donna mocking him and it ends so sweet i thought my heart was melting. (have you noticed i’m dramatic?)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30651005: The Cooperative by @torn--and--frayed​: WHY DID WE NEVER GET JOSH AND DONNA BEING DOMESTIC IN CANON THAT WASNT RELATED TO DONNA MAKING JOSH BE A MATURE ADULT (though he did need it!) i’m sorry that was aggressive. josh and donna move in together. v v cute.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30767861: negative space by bornfalling: BREAK. MY. HEART. donna forgets the past couple years post-gaza and with that goes josh and donna’s intimacy and stuff, thereby ending that ridiculous flirting/camderie/intimacy thing that j/d had going on. josh’s pov of his loss, but not technical loss. 

https://archiveofourown.org/works/29115855: Let Me Teach You What Real Love Looks Like by IveDoneMyWaitng: this fic has made me cry and it literally has 2 chapters. lots of sam schmoop that’s definitely not really canon but also not not canon so here ya go

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30062217: Regulatory Infractions by @hufflepuffhermione​: bc we ALL wanted to know the Rules that Donna mentions in the Midterms episode. So so so good!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30825962: Enjambment w/ no author: Literally bc i love the last paragraph. Do I know anything about Veep? No. Do I like the last scene and also the lovely overview of Josh during the Santos admin, even though interspersed with characters I’ve never heard of? Yes.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30792935: and i knew you w/ no author: BECAUSE GUESS WHAT if sam stayed through the end and had to go through leo’s heart attack, amy gardner, bartlet’s MS attack on the way to China, his mentor/boss/subject of heart eyes (’who's you favorite writer?’/’toby’) betraying the country (to which he has very obvs strong feelings, we’ve all see SGTE, SGTJ), leo dying, and then being away from josh/seeing him get more and more stressed on the campaign trail he would be very VERY emotional

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30792647: Committee Amendments by @torn--and--frayed​: bc we allllll wanted to see Donna be COS to FLOTUS and be the boss that she was born to be. also v cute look at j/d’s relationship

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30785072: You’re One of the Good Ones, Sam Seaborn by Tyrols: A comedy of errors! sam/donna but not really sam/donna

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30478647: touch my soul from the outside by cassieholliday--soulmate au but rosslyn with donna and josh. absolutely stunning. really pretty writing.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30475245: feelings im not used to feeling ‘cause, oh, they make me feel alive by annemeredithperkins: by one of the greats in the josh/donna world. Bi donna and ainsley hooking up while their respective stupid love interests are stupid. (yknow while i mention it here, will someone pretty please ask for rare pairs?) 

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30420837: Toby Ziegler’s Exploration of What He Can Do With Words, Besides Winning an Election by @joshtoby: GUESS WHAT HAVE SOME SEXY TIMES (read the notes bc they make me laugh. you’re a linguistic genius sitch, not unlike our grumpy speechwriter)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30352230: before the die hits the table by sadness_out_of_context: guess what? i liked elsie before she disappeared to mandyville. i wish she stayed. have some wholesome lesbian!elsie snuffin (though that’s not heavily touched on) razzing her exasperated brother William bailey (szn 4 will is the only will with rights)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30342732: On a Technicality by KindaTea: HAVE SOME MORE SEXY TIMES

yall know how i mentioned 3 pages at the beginning? guess what? i lied. this is the past 5 pgs of TWW’s AO3 page. i didn’t include some fics (Pieces Form the Whole, The Denial Twist by @jessbakescakes, You, Me, and This Town by @jessbakescakes come to mind) but also they weren’t posted recently, they were just updated recently (i think) so they’re not on the list. that doesn’t mean i don’t regularly reread them and u should too!

have a good day lovelies, and pls leave comments and kudoses (is that the plural form? imma guess no) at all of these fics and any other fic u read! it can even be a plain ol keyboard smash or a <3 if you don’t have it in you to leave something long but u wanna express how much u liked something or just cause ur not very verbose. authors like that anyway!

(inspired by @its-elsie-snuffin)

Susie can tell Joel is perturbed, watching Midge hop off the set at the Button Club to go sit with Lenny, enjoying private jokes and banter and drinks. 

She rolls her eyes. “Boo-fuckin-hoo,” she grumbles.” 

“Excuse me?” Joel snaps. 

“Midge finally found a guy she doesn’t wanna screw things up with and you’re pouting like you’re not over her,” Susie accuses. 

“I cannot believe you’re okay with this,” Joel grumbles. “The arrests. The drugs.” 

“Funny what people do for love,” Susie comments. “Drugs are caput. Been clean two months now, seems to be sticking.” 

“Bullshit.” 

“Seriously. I mean it was two weeks of him puking up everything he’s ever eaten in his life, and telling everyone he knows to die in a fire, but he’s kicked it. At least for now.” 

“Doesn’t mean anything,” Joel mutters. 

“Sure,” Susie snorts. “You keep livin’ in denial. I’ll have Dinah send you a postcard. ‘Dear Joel - hope you are well. Fuck off and die.’” 

“I don’t have to keep booking her, you know,” Joel threatens. 

“Except you do, because she packs the house,” Susie reminds him. “Even if you were a big enough asshole to ban the mother of your children from performing at your club, you can’t afford to because she helps keep the lights on every other month.” 

“Fuck I hate you,” Joel grumbles. 

“Oh, boy, do I know it.”
