#nilla new year

[humming-pokemon-helpers]

Okay, finally got the photos downloaded! Uploading some of my favorites from the party on the 31st--thank you all again for coming! I'd say "hope to see you next year", but I think I'll see a good number of you before then!

[It's an image of Basil (@uncle-dusknoir), Rei (@mimikyumisfortune), and Rose (@roseberryboo) sitting on Vanilla's couch. Rei's taking up most of the space, laying down across it, with Basil pointing exaggeratedly at the Pawmark movie on the screen and raving to Rose.]

[It's an image of Sidon (@water-pokemon-appreciator) holding back two Zoroark from a bowl of chocolate… at the same time, you can see Cooper (@cooper-magnolia) looking, concerned, at Atlas (@spitefulfoxx), and Wolfgang holding Vanilla up like a giant kit. The latter is handing a few pieces of chocolate back to his big brother, an embarrassed look across their face.]

[It's an image of a battle! Rune's (@runicsorceress) Lampent appears to be aiming a Dark Pulse at Vanilla's Darmanitan, with Alex's (@frog-pokemon-friend) Bellibolt and Marjorie's (@marjorie-ann-miller-1949) Tangrowth watching on. In the background, Lt. Surge & Raiga (@sh0ck-w4v3) watch on.]

[It's a Rotom and Pory gathering! Widget the Porygon (@pokemoncenterofficial), Than-Than the Porygon (@water-pokemon-appreciator), Porypory in their phone (@uncle-dusknoir), Riley the Rotomdex (@cooper-magnolia), and Razer the Rotom (@amperage-speedway) are all busily replacing images in Vanilla's home with the image of her being picked up by her scruff. Just a little mischief. Sea the Rotom (@mimikyumisfortune) watches nervously from the side.]

[Whoa, that's an actual fire! You can see Rune (@runicsorceress), Martini the Gallade (@snowbell-glass-bar), Skye (@darkskyess), and Marjorie (@marjorie-ann-miller-1949) tossing pieces of paper into the fire. Jenna (@rotomblr-postal) is just stepping into the door, taking off her coat. She looks concerned.]

[It's midnight! You can see Anthea and Cordelia (@lovenpeace-pkmn), Tropius (@wingsofachampion), Dr. Liss holding a sizeable bottle of alcohol (@doctorlunaliss), Tula (@plasmaapologist), and Vanilla all cheering the moment. In the foreground of the image there's a giant, cake-shaped stack of Oreos, iced a little messily with the message "Happy Birthday Tula!"]

We ended up on the Battle Subway instead of the regular line last night. At 3 AM, moderately drunk, on the way home from a party.

I do not know how to battle.

I am very glad the library is closed today...

Having intrusive thoughts and being really cynical and paranoid is awful but also funny "Ohh we're all gonna die one day everything is meaningless" yeah but i get to play games before that happens and eat my favorite foods "Everything sucks so much its only going to get worse" buddy the evidence youre pointing at is circumstancial its gonna pass whether we like it or not "We did things so badly in the past and present :(( moral of the story is that we suck and we shouldn't do anything and we listen to all of our doubts" Um. Hello.

[two-calicos-in-a-trenchcoat]

Got chewby a new tug and some Christmas dog biscuits that look like donuts (we have mini donuts a lot but they usually have chocolate on them so we can't share with her so I thought it would be fun to get donuts that she CAN have)

And got harely a couple new toys. There's this springy toy that I thought she would like but it makes a squeaky sound when it moves (which I did not realize when I bought it) and shes a little afraid of it. And a rubbery ball with feathers on the ends that I didn't know if she would like but so far its her favorite. AND I found these cat treats that look and feel like chocolate that are made of beef fat and ive had to hide them from her cuz she was trying to tear open the box to get more.

Decidit's Curse Blueberry Milkshake and Nilla

The AU is a crossover with @darkfluffydragon and @amitiagailec

Here and here are Dark's posts explaining more on the AU

In Decidit's Curse, because Majesty co-exists in this AU, Nilla has a bit of a new look and a new name! His nickname is still Nilla though. Nilla is 3 years old and goes to pre-school with White Lily :D

Blueberry is the youngest sibling in the Decidit family (Phantas/Knowledge being the oldest and Ternate Milk being the middle child) and was devastated with Knowledge's death. So much so he keeps Knowledge's scarf with him at all times. He focuses on raising Nilla to not think about his grief.

He's also a coffee addict :D

Well, it seems like I’m hosting a New Year’s party!

I don’t usually do this, but I made a Gliscord server so I can get a head-count, people can coordinate rides or food, etc. Please, if you’re thinking of showing up to the party, join in!

(I could also really use ideas for what people do at New Year’s parties. My parents had them, but I kind of tended to hide in my room. As a teenager does.)

Server link here! https://discord.gg/kHqnKmmE

//OOC: This is a mainly Discord-based, low-drama stakes event for anybody who wants to have a bit of interaction before the New Year starts! Anybody’s welcome, including sapient Pokémon, but people are welcome to set their own interaction boundaries. This event is also going to be shifted forward in time from real New Year’s, to accommodate people’s schedules. Please do share this around if you’re interested! I know it’s short notice.

//Any posting for the event will use the tag #nilla new year.

[mimikyumisfortune]

i am at vanilla’s new year party!!!!! :3

A Faerie Pure Wedding Part 0

You've all been waiting for this. And it's time we do it! Ladies, gentlemen, and nonbinary comrades, welcome to the start of A Faerie Pure Wedding arc.

*The scene is set in the Vanilla Kingdom during the holidays. Pure Vanilla and White Lily were walking up a small garden hill with a basket and blanket in their hands.*

White Lily: It’s a wonderful day for a picnic. Are you sure the children didn’t want to come? Rarely, we're all together in one place.

Pure Vanilla: Yes. Unfortunately, they have errands they could not get out of. Madeleine has meetings with Black Raisin. Red Velvet is figuring out his proposal. Clover, Knight, and Lilybell are busy training their powers. And Cream Puff is reading up on new spells. It has also been a while since we had any time alone.

White Lily: *giggles* It might be because we always get dragged into our children’s antics. Or become parents for our nephews for a while.

Pure Vanilla: *smiles a bit* Like you didn’t enjoy those adventures.

White Lily: …I did. *lays the blanket down* But I guess having time for ourselves is good.

Pure Vanilla: *sets down the basket* I'm sure we'll have more adventures with them. But for now, *sits down and reaches a hand out to her* let's have some time to ourselves.

*White Lily smiles and takes his hand, sitting somewhat close to him. Meanwhile, at a distance, the Pure Lily children and the Custard brothers are hiding in the brushes. Madeleine and Royal Margarine are looking through binoculars while the others pester them.*

Custard III: *tugging on Royal Margarine’s sleeve* Come on! What do you see!?

Madeleine: They just sat down. There's nothing to see yet.

Royal Margarine: *looks away from the binoculars* Why are we doing this again? Shouldn't we give them space?

Lilybell: I'm with Royal Margarine here. Why are we spying on mother and father?

Red Velvet: To be honest, it’s tradition to spy on each other during dates. It’s…in a way that allows us to ensure everyone is okay. 

Clotted Cream: As annoying as it is…That’s fair. But why are we spying on your parents? They’ve been together for a long time. We don’t need to watch them.

Red Velvet: There’s a reason.

Clover: Wait what?

Knight: *takes the binoculars from Madeleine* Shush! Something’s happening!

*Meanwhile, back to Pure Vanilla and White Lily. As they were pulling out food, Pure Vanilla could feel himself sweat. He briefly looked at a small black box hidden inside the basket. He then looked back at White Lily who was fixing up some tea.*

Pure Vanilla: *lets out a breath* White Lily…I have a question.

White Lily: Yes?

Pure Vanilla: Have you…ever thought about getting married one day? *White Lily froze, letting the words sink in. Pure Vanilla could feel his anxiety rise. It only lasted a few seconds before she spoke again.* Well…I had thought about it at times. It does scare me sometimes. Would I be a good partner? Could I fully be forgiven for my deeds? Those thoughts scare me. But…if I was to marry now…especially with you…then it would be quite lovely now. Why do you…*she turns to see Pure Vanilla nervously holding a small black box* …ask? Nilla…

*Back to the brushes*

Knight: Is that-?!

Red Velvet: Yup.

Madeleine: What’s happening?

*Back to Pure Vanilla and White Lily*

Pure Vanilla: I know we have had a rough past two years, not to mention a rough few decades. But I know that no matter what, you will always be the Cookie I fell in love with back in the academy. The same Cookie I fell in love with during our adventures. The same Cookie I fell in love with during the beginning of the Vanilla Kingdom. Even after you became Dark Enchantress, I never stopped loving you. And I want to be by your side for the rest of our crunchy lives. So, White Lily Cookie, holder of the Light of Freedom, *opens the black box to reveal a ring in the shape of a lily* will you do me the honor and marry me?

*White Lily placed a hand over her mouth, tears threatening to come out. Pure Vanilla could feel his anxiety rise again.*

White Lily: *quietly* A-are you being serious?

Pure Vanilla: Yes. I will never lie to you, my dear Lily.

*White Lily let a few tears fall before she jumped toward him with a hug. This caused both of them to fall back onto the blanket. White Lily let out a few hiccups before smiling.*

White Lily: Yes! Yes! Yes! Let’s get married!

Pure Vanilla: *smiles and hugs her back* You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this. *kisses her cheek*

*All was wonderful…until…*

Knight: *From a distance* RED VELVET!!!!! WHAT THE HELL!?!?!

Actually sobbing because I saw your ‘I want to talk a wips’ post two days late but like if you have any thoughts for the age swap au…… literally anything even if it’s as small as ‘Dustin stashes nilla wafers in his car so Steve can have a snack after swim practice’ I will gobble that up

Okay so me and @riality-check talked about this AU for HOURS last night and it's still fresh in my mind so here take some Age Swap HCs of the Party and Steve

After everything goes down, Steve's parents don't trust him to stay home alone anymore (not that he wants to) so they decide he needs a babysitter. They're doing it to punish him and don't realize that having his friends getting money for something they were already going to do is an awesome upgrade

Dustin does keep Nilla wafers in his car, but he also keeps a first aid kit bc Steve is the most accident prone kid he has ever met. How is such an athletic kid always tripping over his own feet????

Max drives a motorcycle (an upgrade from her skateboard as a kid) and Steve get his own helmet for his birthday. He used to just always take Max's.

Will and Steve aren't super close same with him and Mike but they're both grateful that he protected their siblings and chose to risk his own life to try and help them. They don't mind the kid, and he doesn't mind them, and he even will come to them for specific things he might need help with

Lucas and Steve get very close because of basketball. As Ria put in her part, Lucas is on the team. Steve, who has dreamed on playing on the team since he was 6 or 7 and started playing basketball, thinks that is the coolest thing ever. He doesn't even care that Lucas usually just benchwarms, he's always asking Lucas to play a pickup game with him or show him some new moves

Erica and Dustin are the ones with Scoops jobs in S3 and Steve hangs out in the shop after school every other day waiting for Dustin to get off of work. Erica doesn't know about the Upside Down stuff yet, she's just saving up during her senior year and over the summer for college, but she does kind of love the weird little child that likes to tail her brother and his friends. She always puts an extra scoop on Steve's ice cream

And El and Steve? Well I'm not going to spoil, but she her role goes way farther than just his babysitter
