for dreidel drabbles can you write something about bucky celebrating hanukah with non-jewish!reader for the first time

the first night of hannukah

Pairing: Jewish!Bucky x Gentile!Reader

A/n: I did my best on this, but I've never been new to Hannukah, so it was sort of a hard perspective to adopt. Also, a lot of the Hannukkah traditions mentioned here are specific to Ashkenazi Jews, so it's not a complete representation of all Hannukkah celebrations.

“What do you mean you haven’t done Hannukah since 1944?” you ask your boyfriend, your incredulous eyebrows lifted high on your face. 

You and Bucky were sitting on the couch in his apartment - the one you’d convinced him to purchase so he would actually have furniture - cuddled up and ready to watch a movie.

“Exactly what I said,” Bucky says in an even tone. “It was hard to celebrate during the war and HYDRA weren’t exactly uh-” he pauses, keeping his tone too even, “fans of the Jewish holidays.”

You wince. Of course they weren’t. But-

“But you’ve been back for years,” you say quietly to your hands. You know Bucky smiles at you in that way he does that looks like he’s swallowing glass. 

“The first year I didn’t remember I was Jewish until Hannukkah had already gone. Then I was in cryo in Wakanda, then I was dust…” his smile’s tinged with sadness, “I guess I’ve just had no one to celebrate with since then.”

You frown, then lean further into his side, as though pressing yourself all the way against him can chase all the sadness away. 

“Would you want to celebrate Hannukkah this year?” you ask.

Bucky scoffs. “Baby, what do you know about Hannukkah?”

“Enough!” you defend. Then you think. “Okay, well, nothing. But I could learn. We could get that candleholder thing-”

“A menorah?”

“-and I’ll make Jewish foods and research other Hannukkah things and it’ll be like, the perfect Hannukkah Bucky please?”

Your boyfriend’s expression is incredulous, but he smiles and shakes his head. 

“Alright, baby. We’ll do Hannukkah.”

“Yes!” you pump your fist. 

“Uh, Bucky?”

“Yeah?”

“When’s Hannukkah?”

When Bucky walks into your apartment on the first night of Hannukah, menorah in hand, it’s clear that maybe he should’ve checked in on you a little more beforehand. Your apartment is spotless. The console table that’s normally in your entryway has been moved in front of the windows on the other side of the room, where a box of candles and a lighter are already set out. The dining table between the door and the windows is set with your nice plates and silverware. On it sits a brisket, what Bucky thinks is probably sweet kugel, and a bottle of Manischewitz. The whole house smells like fried onion, a familiar scent Bucky knows will linger until New Year’s, which means you also made latkes. His suspicion is confirmed when you come running out of the kitchen, a plate of the potato pancakes in your hands. 

“You’re here!” you shout, gently placing the plate of latkes on the table before running to Bucky and throwing your arms around him. “Chag Hannukah sameach!”

Your Hebrew is slow, awkward, and horribly mispronounced, but Bucky simply smiles and kisses you on the cheek. You pull away, grinning. 

“I figured we could light the candles first and then dinner? I moved the console table so that you could have the menorah in the window. Oh, and I’m so sorry, I didn’t know that kosher food needed to be made in a kosher kitchen, so the food isn’t really kosher. I thought a rabbi just blessed it or something, but it’s actually really complicated. You can’t have cheeseburgers?”

Bucky’s eyes go wide as you continue to talk at him a mile a minute. 

“Oh! I have sufganiyot in the oven for after dinner, and I bought gelt and even a couple dreidels if you want to play. I tried to find a Hannukkah movie on streaming but there are like, zero Hannukkah movies in existence and-”

“Baby,” Bucky cuts you off. “It’s okay. It’s more than okay, actually. This is amazing.”

His eyes are wide, an indication that he’s more than a little overwhelmed. Your smile deflates. 

“I went overboard, didn’t I?”

“Definitely,” Bucky agrees easily. “You know Hannukah’s a minor holiday, right?”

You pout, cheeks going hot. “Yeah, actually. It came up in my research.”

Bucky laughs, full and bright. You put your face in your hands, feeling like an idiot. 

“I just wanted to make it a perfect Hannukah for you!”

“It is!” Bucky says through a laugh. 

He pulls your hands from your face, brow furrowing as he takes in your hurt expression. 

“Baby, it’s beyond perfect. I didn’t even think I was celebrating this year and you…” he looks around the room, “put every household in Jerusalem to shame.”

You groan, leaning your face into his chest to hide your renewed embarrassment. Bucky holds you there, leaning down to kiss your temple. 

“It’s perfect,” he whispers. “It’s more than anyone’s ever done for me, more than I could ever dream of. Thank you.”

When you look up, you find Bucky’s steel blue eyes shiny with tears. “Thank you,” he says again. 

“You’re welcome,” you mumble, your embarrassment dimmed considerably by how touched your boyfriend looks. “Do you want to light the candles now?”

“Yeah,” he releases you from his hold. “You didn’t learn the blessings, did you?”

Your cheeks go hot again. “I mean, I might’ve listened to a couple recordings so I’d pronounce them right…”

Bucky shakes his head. “Oy gevult, showed up by a goy on Hannukah. My ma’s probably rolling in her grave.”

You gasp and turn to him, worried you’d somehow ruined the evening, but Bucky’s got a Chesire cat grin spreading across his face. That alone makes all the effort and embarrassment worth it.

Shoutout to @firefly-graphics for the hannukah dividers!

4/9/23 Slot UPDATE | Tumblr 7/10 taken | Twitter 6/10 taken

After a stupid long delay, I'm so happy to announce that my commissions are finally open again!🎉🎊🎉 Life and my sense of time ganged up on me but, I finally punted my issues into the sea so I'M GOOD TO GO!

I am opening up 10 slots on my Tumblr and 10 on my Twitter, so make sure you message me if you would like a slot!

Full Info on the process under the cut, if you are wanting a piece, please read carefully! ✨💙🐢💙✨

✨We collaborate together to create exactly what you want! We discuss poses, styles, color schemes, outfits- the whole shi~bang! Once we come to an agreement on the art, you pay me half of the commission price through an invoice I will send you. I will then create and send you a -very- rough sketch for you to approve. This is where you can make any changes that you want for free! Once you are happy with the rough version, I get to work on the final. And as soon as I receive the second half of the commission price via invoice, I will send you the final result! Included in this are high quality JPEGs, PNGs or TIFFs for any transparency that you may want! If you want to make any changes at this point, each revision costs $15. But, I've never had anyone need to change things after, since we have a full round of revisions upon seeing the rough version.

✨I prefer to send you an invoice through Paypal, but I can be flexible with other apps! The pricing for each commission is unique! To determine pricing, just follow 3 simple steps!

1🔷Start by choosing what size you would like: bust, half body, or full body.

2🔷Then, select a style. (Full examples down below)

3🔷 With, or Without a Background? Adding a background is an additional $40

Adding the totals of your choices together will give you your total!

***Adding an additional character just adds an additional style fee.

So for example, if you wanted 2 characters, in a bust size, fully shaded style, and want it to include a background, the total would be calculated like this,

$15 + $35 + $35 + 40 = $125 total

✨Style Examples:

-Lineart: An either transparent or black and white clean sketch of your character, (whichever you'd prefer) that you can color for yourself!

-Flat Color: The lineart described above, but filled in with flat colors for each section, no shading

-Full Shading: This is your character lined, colored, and shaded

-Full shading + BG: See your character lined, colored, and shaded all in front of a rottmnt style background!

Here are the full versions of each style~

$30 + $30 + $23 = $83 total

Other FAQ~

If you'd like to use the artwork for your projects, fics, etc, feel free to do so! However, I still own the copyright to the images so just credit me with a link to one of my profiles. I also ask that you please do not re-sell or distribute the art elsewhere!

(If you want something that you don't see on this list, let me know! I'm willing to work with you~!)

(I am comfortable with pretty much anything SFW or NSFW! However, I do not do gore or Tcest. I will also not create NSFW art for minors, so sorry!)

Please allow me to introduce my Tiffany turtle. 🥰 🐢

Sooo, I recently had this reblog to grace my dash with an awesome crochet 'stained glass square' by Cookie Snob Crochet.

The square was still floating through my daydreams when the dock turtles (yellow belly slider terrapins) arrived for their afternoon snack.

I really couldn't NOT do the crochet, right? I mean, just crochet the stained glass circle part and then cap it for a shallow bowl shape.

My Tiffany's feets were fashioned after the 'baby sea turtle' by Whistle and Ivy. I think they worked perfectly for this project.

Tiff's belly was made flat and stitched with a wide hem on her front side to better display her signature 'yellow belly'. 🐢

Thank you! 😁

ignore me misspelling hanukkah i’m so embarrassed

i’m not going to even look at your request yet as about to go to a hanukkah party. but psa: there are like 25 different ways to spell hannukkah! my personal fave is with an h, two n’s and two k’s but sometimes i forget the second k or want to add the ch at the beginning. the spelling of hannukkah is about vibes my friend.

i’m here to send hate mail you are too pretty and kind and should be arrested immediately m

i can't believe you sent me compliments. how dare you be so hateful to me in my inbox.

you're brilliant and utterly lovable and your url is star girl bc the stars are in your eyes

[gxrlcinema]

good morning i’m sending you a million kisses i hope you feel them

feeling every single one (in my head you’re kissing up my arm like gomez addams)

[gxrlcinema]

my response to a comment like this got me called a passive aggressive bitch

fucking hell. that’s why i don’t respond usually. but yeah, that post i did a while ago that was about this thing got popular and someone came in my inbox and told me that i seem unpleasant to be around. people on this site are exceptionally cruel and angry for no discernible reason.

[gxrlcinema]

LANA THE NEW THEME!!!! almost as adorable as you 😚😚

i am GrEmLiN but thank you 😊✨😘💕

[gxrlcinema]

they reblog bc they’re weak assholes

i think you meant "they don't reblog bc they're weak assholes" which, valid, but i wanna know from their perspective why they don't.

also, while we're at it, why don't y'all give your blogs titles and pictures i'm so tired of blocking accounts that might be active bc they also might be bots.

while we're here as well, only liking a writer's masterlist is a fucking punch to the gut please don't do that it makes my heart ache.

[gxrlcinema]

i want you to know that every time i see your queue tag i get the rogers the musical song stuck in my head for the rest of the day

i hate rogers the musical on the basis of its absolute wasted potential, but i am nonetheless thrilled by this news.

first of all, in a modern au, what do you think stucky’s first holiday season would be like together if we’re thinking the (best) headcanon of bucky being jewish and steve being catholic

OH BOY THIS IS GOOD

Okay so I grew up around a lot of Catholics but I haven’t like, studied Catholicism so I’m sorry if I get anything wrong (Catholic followers feel free to correct me!)

Poor NJB Bucky (NJB JBB, if one would) has no idea what Christmas is actually like from a religious angle. Like, yes, trees, gifts, movies, etc. He gets that. But what is a mass, and why is Steve telling him he’d like him to come but Bucky doesn’t have to if it makes him uncomfortable?

Bucky goes to mass and observes it like an anthropologist. He has many questions afterwards.

“Why are the seats so uncomfortable?”

“I dunno, Buck, maybe it reminds us of G-d’s presence.”

“Okay, but is that like a Bible thing or a ‘the Pope said it’ thing?”

“What?”

(This is the day Steve Rogers learns about the Talmud).

Steve fares a little bit better with Hannukah, having had a Jewish best friend (Arnie) growing up.

Bucky is actually kind of annoyed by this. Steve is showing him up in front of his Bubbe.

Like, when Avital (one of Becca’s adorable offspring) asks to play dreidel, and Steve launches into an explanation of what the letters on each side represent, both in the game and as a phrase.

“If you put those words together it says ‘nes gadol hayah sham’ which means ‘a great miracle happened there’. Do you know what that miracle was Avital?”

“The oil?”

Steve grins and gives Avital a high five. “That’s right! The miracle of the oil.”

Ruth, Bucky’s middle sister glares at him.

“If you don’t marry this goy I will.”

They do Christmas dinner with Steve’s friends.

Bucky stays the night at Steve’s Christmas Eve. He doesn’t realize how big a deal it is until he’s woken at 6 AM. He tiptoes out to the living room to see Steve, who got so excited at the prospect of spending Christmas with someone ( which he hasn’t done since his ma died) that he woke up early to put all the presents under the tree and stuff the stockings like Santa had appeared overnight.

Bucky goes right back to bed without saying a word. Remembering Steve teaching Avital about miracles.

When Steve nearly cries at the watercolor set Bucky gifts him - because he’d wanted to be an artist once, and Bucky thinks he can and should want it again - Bucky thinks that Steve Rogers might be a miracle all on his own.

dear sweet lana, i am about to blow up your ask box i have so many Thoughts

do it.

though, psa to everyone sending in these awesome asks: i answer every ask and then schedule them to post every 2 hours, in order of when i receive them. if you sent me something today, it will probably get posted tomorrow at the earliest (or at like, 2 AM my time).

i did this so i have some time to catch up and so that it's not just me sitting at my laptop for hours every day while these roll in. also so i can like, bulk answer the silly little questions but not prioritize people who send those in over those who sent drabble or moodboard requests.

anyways, i love all of the things i've seen so far and would love for you to blow up my inbox to your heart's content <3

[gxrlcinema]

i just want you to know that i can’t listen to moon song without thinking of your steve angst

ME EITHER BESTIE

everytime she says “you’re sick” i’m like NO PHOEBE I’M SICK I HAVE EMOTIONAL MOTION SICKNESS OVER A VERSION OF OLD MAN STEVE THAT I CREATED
