PotO Santa hurrrrr! I am delighted to hear you like Harry Potter as I too enjoy it very much! What house is your favourite / which house are you sorted into? Admittedly, I was unable to send your card yet and therefore now I have the opportunity to add a few little customized things for you so perhaps something Harry Potter related will join what I was already about to put in 😁

I have many fandoms some of which include but are not limited to Disney specifically Tangled, Beauty and the Beast and Haunted Mansion as probably top 3 as well as Marvel/ superheroes and I'm an anglophile so I like Shakespeare and I like fairy tales and I like Lord of the Rings and Sherlock Holmes and more! Haha

I am so sorry to hear you are ill but hope you will recover soon and I hope I will be able to send you your card/ little gifts in the next 2 days ^_^ ♡♡♡ Do you drink tea or coffee? Or hot chocolate? I hear a cuppa from Mr. Tumnus in Narnia is delightful but sadly I have not experienced such a thing quite yet!

Sending healing vibes and well wishes! -Santa

hullo!! i’m so sorry it’s taken so long to respond to this! unfortunately your package arrived the day after i left 😭 i’m not sure how expensive it would be for my mom to send out to me given the intl fees tend to be crazy but otherwise i’ll ask her to open it and send me pictures so i can at least personally thank you as otherwise i won’t be going home again until april.

i love tangled and batb!! <333 for entirely different reasons however since i’m reading them side by side like this i am starting to see a parallel or two haha. both so lovely in their own regards. tangled is hilarious. i’ve not heard of the haunted mansion though! i adore Marvel as well :) Spider-man all day every day. who’s your favorite hero? or villain, or character in general? and shakespeare hahahaha, fair enough. to which fairy tales do you refer? classic grimm or something else? but wowee i highly respect the number of fandoms you’re a part of! very impressive :)))

i really appreciate the effort you’ve put in. you’ve been a perfect secret santa! apologies for so many delays in responses and thank you so much for being so attentive and amusing and all around delightful. i look forward to experiencing the contents of your package!

PotO Santa here! I am sending positive vibes for your going home! I shall be sending your card along within a day or two so hopefully it and you will be together soon!

Thanks for sharing about Phantom love with me! I'm always pleased to know more about how people came to love something especially if it's something I love also!

What other fandoms are you quite into?

thanks so much for all your lovely, thoughtful anons and i look forward to receiving your card! again, i hope the rest of your holiday season is lovely <3

i agree with that sentiment :) it’s a lot of fun to bond over media, namely when you happen to be very very very passionate about said media as many of us are on this platform lol :))

i’m quite into asoiaf, harry potter, and pride and prejudice as an honorary third. those are probably the other big three, obviously not including phantom, although it’s definitely a growing list. what other fandoms are you fond of?

this is so fucking cute

‘the male appendage’ THE MALE APPENDAGE— flesh coloured icing 😭 sandor’s ‘cake’ not fitting into the sled 😭 lmfao

(iykyk)

thank you so much @orangetabbywrites! this was so cute and hilarious and perfect and i’m gonna reread it again and again :))))

Sansa Stark is thrilled that her boyfriend Sandor Clegane has agreed to attend her (always slightly crazy) family Sevenmas celebrations at Winterfell for the first time.

She’s only a little concerned he doesn’t know what he’s in for…. For @deslabe  Happy SanSan Secret Santa! 🎄🎅

Dear Beth,

I hope your seasonal preparations are going well! I had to hide the chocolates from Ned because he does so love to overindulge. Last year he got terribly tipsy on the ones filled with whisky creame. Arya’s still complaining about the adorable sweater I got for her - she mentioned she’d sent you a message, did you receive it? Apparently she’s been having internet trouble so not all her messages get to people. Between you and I it’s because she insists on living in that terrible old house with the boy that looks concerningly like one of Ned’s friends, but I shouldn’t gossip.

Best wishes of the season to you!

Cat Stark

these little letters are so cute 🥺

also again lol just all of the characterisation! ned getting tipsy from whisky chocolates 😂 lol magnificent detail. the attention to detail outside of the ship is much appreciated— it really builds the atmosphere, like i’m imagining all of these little occurrences meshing together simultaneously to create a very very very hectic household— which TRACKS for them lmao 🤡 ned getting tipsy, arya complaining about/refusing to wear/revamping her sweater, bran and rickon pulling pranks: ornament edition, and generally causing chaos. it’s very exciting lol, i’m very excited.

i did indeed receive arya’s message, where she complained of being ‘trolled’ lmao. still buzzing over that. also tea!!!!!!! ☕️☕️☕️

thank you for the lovely anon! hope you are having a lovely holiday season, sansan secret santa! xx

Hey Beth, IT’S ALMOST SEVENMAS! 😱 Mum sent me possibly the ugliest Sevenmas sweater ever. I swear she has to be trolling me at this point. THE KITTENS HAVE SPARKLE BOWS, BETH, SPARKLE BOWS!!!! If I ever give you the kind of energy that leaves the impression that I like kittens with sparkle bows, please let me know and I’ll undergo some kind of cleansing. Gods, Catelyn, I’m not Sansa. Ugh. Anyway. Sorry for the rant. MY SWEATER TRAUMA CANNOT BE CONTAINED. From Arya

i… love this lmao. ahhh i’m so excited. your arya characterisation is so perfect and just the sevenmas sweater tradition is so on par with what i was hoping for :))))

#the attention to detail 😭 #SPARKLE BOWS #ARYA #i love how arya says her mum is ‘trolling her’ lmfao #this is so exciting :)))) #hope you are doing well! #sansan secret santa #anon

Hello Beth! Phantom Santa here I am glad to hear from you again but I am sorry to hear that you've been going through a few things recently I hope all will turn out well!

When I visited Scotland I was in a small place called Dumfries and stayed just outside there at Comlogon Castle which was gorgeous.

I think but I'm not 100% that I visited a bookstore that is near the English Scottish border in Whitehaven I shall have to look at a map again!

Thank you for giving me ideas about your favourite designs of this winter season! I shall keep them in mind!

Now, let us discuss Phantom of the Opera a little since that is what has brought us together— tell me a little more about your connection to it, what got you enjoying the story and are there parts that are your favourites, are there characters that inspire excitement in you, anything you wish to say!

thanks so much! unfortunately they are continuing to pile up as the holidays approach and trying to organize going home, but i think as soon as they’re over i’ll be back to semi-normal lol. hope you are having a lovely holiday season outside of the fandom as well!

ah ive heard of dumfries but haven’t been there yet! wowee the concept of staying AT a castle is surreal— that sounds amazing. the only one i’ve visited so far is edinburgh castle and it was so lovely :)

thank you for asking! lol i recently discovered that i have a calendar date in my phone set to mark the anniversary of the day i became obsessed with phantom. i almost didn’t (become obsessed, that is) because i watched the 2004 version first, but i was so unsatisfied that i watched ALW immediately after and that was the ticket. ALW is def my favorite, although leroux is very entertaining haha. lerik is batshit crazy and i’m here for it. the translation very likely plays a part in how unhinged the book is, but in general it’s just such a trip lmao. i guess my favorite part is the final lair scene for erik’s character development, and my favorite song is the point of no return.

hope you are doing well!

#thank you for the anon! :) #poto #poto secret santa #anon

Hi Beth, SanSan Secret Santa here! Hope all is good with you during this festive time of year. I’m still working on your lovely prompt, and having a great time with all those fun and crazy family activities.

hi omg i’m so sorry for the delay, i’ve been through the wringer lately between finals finishing up, a plethora of personal issues, and 3 secret santa exchanges between tumblr and real life. in other words i am STRESSED. anyways, again really sorry for not replying sooner and i adore your creative anons! 💝💝💝

Shout out to fanfic writers who write their favourite characters into incredibly specific niches like complex academic studies or horse taming or the intricacies of the fashion industry or historical politics just because they love it. I do in fact want to learn about your niche interests disguised as a slash fic, thank you

if you observe the elves in rudolph the red nosed raindeer, you’ll notice this:

the elf men have very large noses, and are all bald, while the elf women have smaller noses and wavy blonde hair.

now. we already know hermey the elf is a twink. however i’d like to offer up a second piece of information:

hermey, though a man, exhibits a small nose and wavy blonde hair. did you guess it yet?

hermey is trans

guys check ao3 for interview with the vampire fics bc apparently there’s 65 pgs worth of it now, being dated back to 1995.

Greetings Beth it is I: Phantom Secret Santa! I apologize for the lengthy delay but I was cooped up in my lair composing the latest Act of my current work in progress and by the time I looked up it had been days but I finished the music and now all that's left is to imagine the scenery which I will demand of the Opera managers in due time.

Back to the point of making your acquaintance I am delighted to hear you study English lit for I too have an interest and somewhat of an education in the same topic! It's also wonderful to hear you hail from Narnia which is where my best friend often spends her time ^_^ What are your favourite colours and designs of the season by the way? I'm quite fond of silvers, lights and Nutcracker inspired designs myself.

How are you liking Scotland? I’ve visited only 2 tiny places in the past there so I have limited experience but I loved it ♡

congrats on getting the music finished! i’m sure it’s lovely 🥰

books books books!! 💗 my favourite colours are blue and yellow, however i’m very fond of traditional holiday colours like red and green. for holiday designs, i’m a fan of snowflakes, decorative christmas trees, gingerbread people/houses, and present boxes— like the ones with pretty gift wrapping paper and ribbons and tags and that. nutcracker designs are so awesome! oh and i agree, i LOVE holiday lights.

i’m quite enjoying it so far— much more than where I hail from Narnia, if you can believe that. the architecture is especially stunning: i adore the designs of the buildings, the narrow streets, the cobblestone roads— it’s just generally lovely. what places did you visit? 🤔
