I know I wont be able to finish this so I am posting the sketch before I lose my nerve<3 My OC Alixon have invited all her friends for Yule celebration and are leaving the toast for her husband Dragora. Thing is, she kisses him each time he tries to start. Fun, teasing food time with good company! XDDD

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

There were some... roadblocks and complications when they were baking christmas cookies for the depot agents (what a trainwreck) (how it even got this bad exactly is up to your imagination ;b)
As a holiday gift, I commissioned Aoife O'Dea to sing Luthien's Lullaby from the Lay of Leithian musical.
There couldn't be a more perfect fit- Aoife, who played Arwen in Watermill Theatre's Lord of the Rings musical last year, and Luthien, Arwen's elven ancestor, using the magic of song to send us off to sleep.
Dreams, on the wings of music hover...
Voice and harp- Aoife O'Dea
Original music and lyrics- Skadi
English lyrics- @nereb-and-dungalef, @quixoticanarchy, and @sewn-with-lilies-fair
Lyrics under the cut.
Day fades to night,
Sunset hides its light ‘til dawn’s unveiling.
Stars out of sight
Shine over those whose strength is close to failing.
I sing before the lord of darkness,
Minstrel in the halls that echo starless.
Dreams on the wings of music hover-
Sleep, bow your head to peaceful slumber.
Sleep…
On gentle wings
Mist turns the mountains sapphire as the ocean.
Like waves I sing,
And from the strands of fate my verse is woven.
Over the night the moon is sailing
Onward, to the shores where sleep is waiting.
Dreams on the wings of music hover-
Wait, bow your head to peaceful slumber.
Wait…
Fine threads of rain
Upon your window weave a satin curtain.
Lay down your pain,
And let oblivion relieve your burden.
Hear how the restless wind is sighing-
Quiet, for the storm has ceased its crying.
Dreams on the wings of music hover-
Hush, bow your head to peaceful slumber.
Hush…
