Wow, most are content to let us die. To reward your empathy here.

A card label one free blessing is given. For whatever you need.

Although he can't say he's all that surprised by the others' less than favorable feelings towards them (the few things he's witnessed done onto Rin by these things is horrible, to say the least), he is surprised by the anon's gratitude. So, the card is accepted carefully, read over once, twice, and finally three times before it is finally tucked away onto his person.

"I was serious about talking to one of the other monks, or even myself, by the way. I may not understand you, but we are all creatures of this world. Cohabitation is possible, if we just try a little."

I’m sorry things have been rough. I know I’m not a great artist  but I thought of you while doodling this Laios

Oh god the way I could cry right now because you have always been too sweet to me, Xian. I still think of and read the ficlets you wrote me years ago because they’re just so good, perfect, bite sized comforts and you ??? The mountains I’d move just to pay you back, man.

If you ever need something from me, just say something. I owe you so much more than I can ever pay back.

I’m treasuring this beautiful man forever.

At some point, the promised egg sandwich is delivered to Dennis' nightstand on top of an unwrapped box. "Here you go, kiddo," Jaden keeps his voice low, just in case Dennis is battling another wave of headaches again, "Merry Christmas now so you can sleep in tomorrow morning. Sound good?"

From beneath the covers, Dennis' pale face emerges and he squints at the offerings. Jaden smiles before he picks up the plate and hands the box over to his nephew, knowing that the presents have his attention more than the meal itself. Then, with the box in Dennis' possession, he sets the plate down properly on the nightstand and waits for the reveal.

Dennis pulls out a copy of the house key first, which he snorts and smiles at before he slides it onto the nightstand with a mental note to add it to his tiny key collection later. Next comes the wing charm; "To go with your new bracelet." Jaden quickly explains, which further entices Dennis to keep it on at all times now. And then finally there was a new laptop, sleek and slim, lightweight but sturdy.

"Figured you needed an update." Jaden shrugged one shoulder. "Keep up with your studies and your games, ya know."

"Thanks, Jaden." While the key was put off for later, Dennis had already begun fumbling to get the bracelet charm on. "I think your present is in the corner there still. I can--"

"I got it." In just a few strides, Jaden was at the spot and picking up the decorative grocery bag left there, spotting another Naches fire department sweater folded inside at the bottom. It was what sat on top of the sweater that brought a smile to Jaden's face though. All the old photos from Rob's house containing Penny, Dennis, Jaden, and-or other members of the Grey family had been copied, framed, and stacked for Jaden to sprinkle in throughout the house. A few new photos containing Judas, either alone or with one of the two of them, had been snuck in too, which made Jaden smile a little more. "Very nice." He comments nonchalantly, trying to keep it cool and casual.

"Merry Christmas, Jaden."

"Merry Christmas, sicky. Now eat your sandwich. You gotta keep your strength up."

There's no such thing as overpreparing for love.

Happy (late) Rarijack Valentine's.

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.

I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.

2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)

3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited

Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.

Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).

Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.

Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.

drawings from paleo expedition to dagestan, done right on the trip. sometimes messy when it was cold and rainy, but i won't correct it. i think it's cool to leave it just the way it was done, and not retouch it after. there will be more drawings later, but those will be done from home

sans undertale would not make i fucked your wife jokes. people want to make jokes about sans fucking asgore's wife but sans the character would NOT do that r you kidding me. you can cut the secondhand embarrassment with a knife every time they're in the same room together, sans likes the guy, i bet he feels genuinely kinda bad for asgore. he'd be like sorry about the dating your ex wife thing. to be fair she's a really cool ex wife. and asgore would be like (rescue shelter dog sigh) She is.

Not to be absolutely unhinged but I think that if I buy enough tiny plastic tubs to continue breaking down every possession I own into discrete categories then eventually I will live in a home where I don't constantly have a large pile of completely miscellaneous nicknacks in the middle of the floor constantly and forever until I die

Current box count is 56

[Gloria -> Jaden] Merry Christmas! Jaden is getting a pot full of delicious soup and fresh baked bread! He's also getting a few small bags with a few gifts: a book on the history of aerial combat with breakdowns on their maneuvers, a set of grilling tools, and a mini grill that can be set up anywhere he wants. Have fun!

Oh that soup is immediately going in the freezer - right after he serves himself a bowl, of course. Home made soup is divine but unfortunately lacks the ability to last forever like a true divinity, so Jaden opts for freezer storage to make it last longer.

Besides, the boys could use it for whenever he's not available to cook dinner and save themselves from an accident or a doordashing.

He's making a note to noogie her for the book though, even if he fully intends to integrate some of the tricks of the old pros into his own flights because she's right. But she didn't need to say the quiet part so out loud either. She can spoil him with a grill though. He accepts that very much and immediately gets it set up on the back porch. One day he might upgrade to a full grill and use the mini for camping trips, but right now that is the house grill and he now needs something to grill with it.

...barbecued Christmas dinner can probably be a thing. Somehow.

"I think it's sweet," Steve says.

Robin wrinkles her nose. "Nothing about Eddie Munson is sweet. He's a sewer rat, at best. Or like twenty opossums in a trench coat."

"Opossums are cute."

"He probably has rabies."

"You say that about me all the time, so I guess that's good. We'll have rabies together."

"He gave you a rock."

"You give me rocks all the time," Steve says, rolling his eyes. He runs his thumb along the textured edge of the rock Eddie'd handed to him.

"Yeah, good rocks." Robin scoffs. "That one sucks."
