#proselfshipadvent

[drinkingpoison]

For all proship/fic selfshippers out there, I present:

The proselfship Advent Calendar!

Inspired by drabbIe/cember, but with my own fun spin on it.

Any form of media you'd like to create is allowed and encouraged! As this is meant to be a fun, low effort, seasonal celebration for us and our f/os. We'd love to see: art, stories, moodboards, playlists, or even just talk about what you think you and your f/o would do.

All forms of f/os are obviously accepted; romantic, sexual, familial, platonic. And you can skip any days you're uncomfortable with or just don't feel like including! It's entirely up to you.

The last 6 days are especially optional. For those who enjoy some spicier prompts! Be as NSFT or vague as you like while answering them.

I'll be tracking the tag #proselfshipadvent to try and see anyone participating! ♡

Here's all the prompts in text under the cut, Happy Holidays!

Day 2: Putting up Decorations

[princelythirsts]

I am going out of order for the Proship Selfship Advent bc I have finals etc and I can’t give this my 100% but I know the creator said it’s supposed to be fun and low effort so I don’t feel so bad doing it “wrong” as long as I’m having fun

ANYWAY.

Day 3: Baking / Sharing traditional desserts

I am thinking for the prompt about sharing desserts that I would have tongyun / tangyuan with my f/o’s :3

(my family would call it tonyun, but I say tangyuan bc I’ve learned Mandarin so I default to that dialect for names of foods etc. I think ATLA just uses simplified Chinese and Mandarin so I would also call it tangyuan there)

was originally thinking Charles (modern AU) bc he’s best boy, and it would be cute if he found a place to get it from, or bought the ingredients so he and Phemie could try making it. Phemie would definitely take over.

Not sure Charles would be a huge fan since it doesn’t seem like his kinda flavor combo (black sesame and sweet ginger??) but he’d appreciate the nostalgia factor for Phemie

I think my only f/o who would eat them canonically would be Iroh. I’m still figuring out my s/I to ship with him and keep changing details but my most recent version is very culinarily inclined, so I’d be making a big batch to share with family ofc.

and then I found this adorable penguin tangyuan video aaaa

so yeah I guess I could also share it with Oswald, I’d love to make him something like that with him. take some time out of his busy schedule to make lil penguin balls with me

Proselfship Advent day five: playing in the snow 🌨️

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ 📓

Gonna try to do a few of these at once heh, been occupied setting up my new phone.

Going pretty fluffy for this one - Wes takes Wally out to see the snow for the first time after someone mentions it on the show.

It'd been snowing all night, shown by the blanket of white powdery fluff covering the outside of the studio where Wes worked. The puppeteer had purposefully come in early, making the excuse that he wanted to see the beautiful morning. It wasn't entirely untrue, but he didn't plan on spending the dawn alone. Over the last few episodes, the show he currently worked on had made references to winter approaching and things like decorating for Christmas, teaching kids, and subsequently the puppets themselves, about Santa and giving gifts. The titular star of the show, Wally, had been fascinated by it all, especially when Wes informed him it was going to start snowing outside very soon.

Now of course, most people would call him crazy if he went around telling everyone he spent his time talking to the puppets when not working, and that they spoke back without any human influence. Wes didn't care one bit, eagerly promising Wally a glimpse of the dazzling winter landscape, resolving to just come in before anyone else was there to question his motives. His favorite little neighbor deserves to be happy.

How no one else had noticed the puppets growing sentience, he truly had no idea. Though after the discovery, he had told Wally to try and keep things under the radar for the most part, fearing how the crew and the rest of the world would treat his darling if they knew. It was honestly thrilling, having their secret little rendezvous. Just thinking about it was enough to turn his cheeks red, the cold definitely not helping one bit.

Unlocking the door and heading straight to the back of the building, he carefully checked one last time to make sure he was alone before heading to the "dressing rooms", as he called them.

"Wally? Good morning!"

Making himself known as soon as he popped his head into the little room, there was a skip in his step as he approached the propped up puppet, delighted with the way he perked up at his arrival. Always so adorable, it made Wes' heart skip a beat just to see him smile every time.

"Hmm? Good morning neighbor! Is it time to get to work already?"

Tilting his head to the side, Wally's hands came around to settle in his lap, looking curiously up at his visitor.

"Not quite yet - I want to show you something I think you'll like. Would you like to come outside with me?"

"Oh my.. Outside? Are we doing a special episode?"

Wes was already moving to carefully lift Wally into his arms, eliciting a little laugh from the felt star, causing the butterflies in the man's stomach to flutter violently as he squeezed him close to his chest. Already heading out the door as he spoke, they had little time to waste before the crew was actually supposed to be showing up for work.

"This trip is just for you, to show you something special."

"Just for me? It must be my birthday, ahah hah hah!"

Wes could never get enough of that adorable monotone laugh, grinning ear to ear as he headed out the door and into the frigid morning, trying not to squeeze the little guy too hard in his own excitement. Having to squint at the dawn light glinting off the snow, he almost missed Wally's look of wonder as he took in the new sights.

"This is snow, much prettier than the fake stuff, isn't it?"

"It's so... White! Where did everything go?"

"Under the snow, it covers it up like a nice chilly blanket. See?"

Turning him around to see the little Rudolf blowup they'd put up, along with some lights. It wasn't much, but it was cute and what they could afford with all the props they needed to make inside for the Christmas special coming up. Carefully crunching his way down the stairs, making a mental note that someone would need to get out here with a shovel, he veered off into the grass. Plopping down on a usually clear spot with a huff, he set the puppet directly on his lap.

Good thing he'd dressed for this exact occasion, already feeling the chill start to easily soak through his thick clothes. He was always questioning in the back of his mind how much Wally could feel, wondering if the cold got to him at all.

"It's very cold, and makes me shiver, so we can't stay out for too long. But it's real fun to play around with, people like to make it into balls and throw it at each other, it's called a snowball fight."

"Ahahaha.. That does sound like fun! People use it to fight..?"

"They're all in good fun, maybe the others would be interested! I bet Howdy would do a fantastic job."

With a laugh, Wes nuzzled his nose softly into Wally's hair, slowly inhaling the scent of felt and watching through narrowed eyes as snowflakes lightly fell on the soft blue locks. Everything felt so peaceful right now, if only time would freeze for a little while just like the world around them.

Reaching down to gently take Wally's hand in his own, he guided it over to the snow and ran the felt fingers through the powdery surface, eliciting little giggles from him every so often. A soft, breathy noise. Wes couldn't resist tilting his head, pressing a soft kiss to the corner of the puppet's mouth, his shuddering breath visibly drifting up into the air.

With a curious hum, Wally tilted his head up into the kisses, happily returning them to the best of his ability with no lips. Wes was sure he could burst on the spot as his affection was reciprocated, practically vibrating as his grip tightened ever so slightly around the soft waist.

"Come on.. I'm sure it's getting a little late. We should head inside."

He'd gotten quite good at forcing himself to halt in his tracks over the past few months, lifting them out of the snow with a smile at his companion and heading back towards the front door.

He couldn't let himself get carried away here, not now. Perhaps another time, another place. He could just hope his opportunity to relieve his desire would come soon, and that nothing would happen to his darling in the meantime.

Based on the actual yule log I baked two years ago for Christmas. I feel like David would be really hyped about it.

Proselfship Advent Calendar - Day 1: Dressing For The Cold

"Hurry, Doctor, we don't wanna be late!"

"I'm coming, Alice, I'm coming..."

Halloween Town had been given the gift of fresh snow every December ever since Jack Skellington's Christmas blunder. And as Dr. Finkelstein wheeled himself down the ramp that lead into the foyer of his observatory, he and Alice knew it would be a particularly cold one this year.

The mad scientist exhaled with a smile, taking note of the green and purple stripped scarf draped around Alice's neck as she waited for him at the end of the ramp.

"You look lovely," he said, taking a paw in an affectionate gesture. The cat-sith's tail swished lazily at the Doctor's kind words.

"Didn't you make two?" She asked as she bent down to help button up her elderly partner's overcoat. Finkelstein glanced away in embarrassment.

"I did," he answered after a brief moment of silence.

"And?" Alice tilted her head, paws on her hips. "Where is it?"

The Doctor gestured over to the top of the ramp, to the second floor of the observatory. A second green and purple stripped scarf was hung over the railing.

Alice gave him a slightly amused look, before walking up the ramp, taking the scarf, and bringing it back down. "Would it be nice if we matched?" She asked softly, forehead practically touching Finkelstein's skullcap as she gently tied the scarf about his neck. "Isn't that why you made them?"

The old scientist said nothing, yet placed a small gloved hand to Alice's cheek, an equally small smile on his lips. Alice's forehead touched his skullcap in response, a soft purr resonating in her throat.

The two stayed like this for a moment, until the cat-sith replaced her forehead with her lips, planting a gentle kiss to the metal.

They found the Doctor's wool cap, and the two were ready to venture out into the cold to join the rest of the town.

"I look embarrassing," Finkelstein muttered softly, referring to the matching scarf, a hand to Alice's in comfort.

"You look lovely," she replied.
