Have you Been Naughty or Nice?
Swiped from @lil-kissy​
Tumblr media
“Serafina, you’re new here. You should go first!”
Tumblr media
“Okay. Who’s next?”
Tumblr media
“Estrella said we’re going to be going from newest muse to oldest this year.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, that’d be me!”
Tumblr media
There's a reason Santa created a Naughty List. And you're just one of those reasons, Serafina.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Seriously?!”
Tumblr media
“This thing isn’t always right. It put Ghost on the naughty list for slacking off at work last year... And it doesn’t have a job.”
Tumblr media
Annabelle, you must have been EXTRA nice this year. Santa has a smiley face next to your name on the Nice List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Hooray! I want a doll.”
Tumblr media
Way to help that old lady, Valeriya. Santa will certainly add you to the Nice List this year. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I must say, Ekaterina. You've really improved last year's performance and made the cut on the Nice List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Yay!”
Tumblr media
Wow Dmitri, rescuing those Orphans from that burning building got you a free ride on Santa's Nice List for years to  come!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“That’s nice... But I haven’t saved anyone from a burning building.”
Tumblr media
“See what I mean by this not always being right?”
Tumblr media
Little ghost, you must have been EXTRA nice this year. Santa has a smiley face next to your name on the Nice List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aleksei, you REALLY put ex-lax in Santa's cookies?! Don't expect to see your name on the Nice List anytime soon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“No I didn’t!”
Tumblr media
“Press the button again.”
Tumblr media
Ho ho ho! Nice try, Aleksei. Thought you could slip one past the Big Guy, huh? Naughty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I didn’t, really!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aleksei, do you really think Santa is unaware of your inappropriate Facebook posts? Naughty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“WHAT THE HELL IS ‘FACEBOOK’?”
Tumblr media
*Snickering*
Tumblr media
“It’s just a game, Aleksei. Don’t worry about it.”
Tumblr media
“And don’t laugh at him, Ekaterina.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“My turn!”
Tumblr media
Dyanna, shouldn’t you be working, instead of surfing the web during office hours…?
NAUGHTY LIST FOR YOU!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I’m only eleven, I don’t have a job!”
Tumblr media
Hmmmm... you've got a couple weeks left to redeem yourself, Elias.  Right now, you are on the Naughty List!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Alrighty... Will do.”
Tumblr media
... 👀
Tumblr media
“Can I try?”
Tumblr media
“Have at it, little guy.”
Tumblr media
In the words of Larry David, you've been "pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good" this year.

“What are you guys doing? Have you seen Annabelle and the ghost?”
Tumblr media
“We’re collecting flowers for our Mamas!”
Tumblr media
“Annie took Ghost to the park.”
Tumblr media
“Which one?”
Tumblr media
“Probably the one with the geese.”
Tumblr media
“Alright.”
Tumblr media
“Wait, come back!”
Tumblr media
?
Tumblr media
“Come pick flowers with us!”
Tumblr media
“But I don’t have parents...”
Tumblr media
“What about Meilan?”
Tumblr media
“I wish she was my Mama.”
Tumblr media
“Anfisa isn’t my birth mother either, but here I am.”
Tumblr media
“Besides, wouldn’t she be happy to know you think of her as your mother?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“You’re right. She’d be thrilled!”

Who Will Dance With You at the Starlight Ball?
Tumblr media
A sun deity
Not that you know at first, not really. He wears a golden mask and a sunburst crown. He stand tall and proud in his fine clothing. Yet despite his regal aura, guests keep their distance. They whisper about the enemy kingdom which worships the sun, instead of the stars. They wonder how someone dares dress like that at the starlight ball. 
You approach the stranger and he takes your hand, leading you into a dance. Soon, the crowds open and stare in awe at your dance. Your dance has presence and elegance, and soon the room is filled with golden light like the first day of spring. You spend the night dancing and talking. He tells you about his home, about palaces of gold and fire, fields of citrine flowers, days of eternal summer. 
Once the sun rises and all the stars have faded, you will step into the gardens and his dark hair will glow with golden light. He  will offer his hand, and welcome you into their kingdom. He will say that you deserve to be adorned with gold under the light of the sun rather than the stars. Will you accept his invitation?

What does Your Heart Look Like?
Tumblr media
Iced over, out of the sun
Your heart is very lonely, isn’t it? Is your fortress of ice self-made? Are others afraid of you, or are you afraid of them? Are you afraid of hurting them, or of being hurt? Vulnerability and connection can be frightening, but that’s no reason to shy away from their light, to tuck yourself small into corners, to build up frigid walls to keep yourself from feeling. You will heal when you allow yourself to draw closer to the flames and thaw.

“What was that?!”
Tumblr media
“Is it  Xiuying and Ignatius?”
Tumblr media
“We’re right here...”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Oh!”
Tumblr media
“False alarm, everybody. It’s just Elias.”
Tumblr media
“Then what were those noises?”
Tumblr media
“I brought firecrackers for everybody!”
Tumblr media
“What are firecrackers?”
Tumblr media
“They’re little capsules that you either throw on the ground or set on fire, and it’ll make a colorful explosion. The noise came from me dropping a box.”
Tumblr media
“Is it for the new year?”
Tumblr media
“Yep!”
Tumblr media
“But didn’t we already set off fireworks almost a month ago?”
Tumblr media
“It’s tiger new year again!”
Tumblr media
*snickering* “Lunar new year. And it’s the year of the cat this time.”
Tumblr media
“Close enough...”
Tumblr media
“Cat? There’s no cat on the zodiac. It’s the year of the rabbit.”
Tumblr media
“Rabbit?”
Tumblr media
“The cat would have raced, but the rat didn’t wake him up the morning of.”
Tumblr media
...??
Tumblr media
“Xiuying, you’re Gudanese. And Elias, your mother was from Xuyen. Maybe you have different versions of the legend!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“That makes sense.”
Tumblr media
“There’s a legend?”
Tumblr media
“Yea...”
Tumblr media
“Annabelle and Serafina weren’t here last year.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, right!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Thanks.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“‘Back when tigers used to smoke, there was race between the animals. The Jade Emperor, who was the ruler of the heavens, asked all the animals to participate in his birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month and held a great race. The first twelve animals that came would be given a place in the calendar.’”
“‘Although the rat got up early and ran fast, he became worried when he arrived at the river bank as he was a poor swimmer. After waiting for the come of the ox, he asked the help from the ox to carry him across the river. With the help of the honest and helpful ox, the rat successfully crossed the river. However, he didn’t jump off from the ox’s back until they arrived at the door of the Jade Emperor.’
“‘Just as the ox was about to win the race, the rat leapt to the Jade Emperor before the ox. Thus, the rat won the first place in the race and the second the ox. Later came the Tiger, Cat, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, and Dog. The lazy pig arrived last and got the last place.’”
Tumblr media
“Now come and get your firecrackers, everyone! We’ll set them off tonight!”

Tumblr media
“Can we come out now?”
Tumblr media
Yea, come on, you two! :D Come introduce yourselves to the rest of the gang!
Tumblr media
“Alrighty!”
Tumblr media
“My name is Xiuying, I’m twelve years old, and I was born in the year of the monkey.”
Tumblr media
“I’m Ignatius. I’m ten, and...”
Tumblr media
“What year was I born in?”
Tumblr media
“The dog.”
Tumblr media
“Woof woof!” *giggling*
Tumblr media
“Where are you two from? I’ve never seen anyone dressed like that before.”
Tumblr media
“And what’s your gimmick?”
Tumblr media
“Our what?”
Tumblr media
“We all have something special: Aleksei is from a fandom; Annabelle, Dyanna, Katia, Dmitri, Elias, and Serafina are main characters from Estrella’s stories; I kept my story’s main characters from getting themselves killed; and Ghost is... Well, a ghost.”
Tumblr media
“Do you have magic?”
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
“I was a spellcaster...”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Ghost wants you to show it some spells.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, and can you show me how to cast one?”
Tumblr media
“You were a spellcaster? What are you now?”
Tumblr media
“Are you kinetics now?”
Tumblr media
...!
Tumblr media
They’re Fragokinetics! Xiuying’s always had her powers and Ignatius just got his.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“They can blow things up.”
Tumblr media
:)?
Tumblr media
“You can befriend them if you want, they can’t hurt you.”
Tumblr media
“Should we... Go?”
Tumblr media
“No, please stay.”
Tumblr media
“Really?”
Tumblr media
“... So you’re not scared...?”
Tumblr media
“If you keep your powers as under wraps as I do, then I don’t see a reason to be. I’m a Cariesgenetic. Until Katia and Dima showed me how they buried offal in their garden to fertilize it, I had no idea that rot could be anything but disgusting, like my father always told me. I know what it’s like to be afraid of my own powers.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“That does make me feel a little better...”
Tumblr media
“I can ask my friend if she knows a spell to counteract your powers. Would you like that?”
Tumblr media
“YES!”
Tumblr media
“I have a good luck charm, if it would make you feel better to have.”
Tumblr media
“There are things called amplifiers where I’m from that makes powers stronger. I’ll ask my parents if there are reverse-amplifiers.”
Tumblr media
“Those would be very nice, thank you.”
Tumblr media
“And where are you two from?”
Tumblr media
“I’m from Yuan Gudai.”
Tumblr media
“And I’m from Ephesus.”
Tumblr media
“Oooh, tell me all about them!”

How Evil are You?
Tumblr media
Aleksei Oretsev is so evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“For what? Stealing that book?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Is that where it went? You jerk, I failed a test without it!”
Tumblr media
“I didn’t know it was yours...”
Tumblr media
“My mom grounded me for a week!”
Tumblr media
*sigh* “Why do boys have to be like this?”
Tumblr media
“At least they’re not as bad as Salazar...”
And then Elias threw the first punch
Tumblr media
“... I take that back.”
Tumblr media
Annabelle Elsworth is just a smidge evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Well, it could have been worse.” She nervously eyed Aleksei and Elias as Grisha and Valeriya dragged them apart.
Tumblr media
Dyanna Veselovskaya is not evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Yay!”
Tumblr media
Dmitri Sobakin is so evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*cackling* “That’s for making Gospozha Rabinovichia drop a snowman on me!”
Tumblr media
Ekaterina Sobakina is just a smidge evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“And that’s for all the snowballs you throw at me and call birthday ‘presents’.”
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Elias Sombratio Liang is pure evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
!
Tumblr media
“You punched first, kiddo. Don’t even start.”
Tumblr media
*pout*
Tumblr media
Little ghost is a little bit evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“We still love you.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Princess Serafina is a little bit evil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Valeriya is as evil as can be.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Why?!”

(sins of the sea) Little boxes bearing dried mangoes, coconuts, tamarind, and puka bracelets for everyone! "Luna" in particular gets a little gold-chained bracelet with a small carved moon for a pendant! And though Dimitri won't know who is sending this or why, he'd get a specific gift too: a nazar. Hm…..
Tumblr media
"These bracelets are beautiful!"
Tumblr media
“Do you want mine?”
Tumblr media
"YES!"
Tumblr media
*jingle jingle jingle*
Tumblr media
“Look, Ghost got a different bracelet.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Who’s ‘Luna’.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Do you think it’s from your friend?”
Tumblr media
✨💞
Tumblr media
"Oh, Dima got something special too!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Yea!”
Tumblr media
“It’s an eye!”
Tumblr media
“Who’s it from?”
Tumblr media
“I've no idea.”
Tumblr media
“What are these... Bendy dry things?”
Tumblr media
“Mango and coconut. They grow everywhere in Permico.”
Tumblr media
“I like them!”
Tumblr media
“The hard brown ones are tamarind, you have to break the shell and pull off the strings to eat it. My mom gets a pile every time we go to Xuyentown.”
Tumblr media
...
“Oh.” *crack*

“Uh... Thank you.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“What’re these for?”
Tumblr media
“It’s for Christmas!”
Tumblr media
“What’s Christmas?”
Tumblr media
“It’s a holiday from where Ghost is from."
Tumblr media
“It told us it’s for a man named Jesus who was the son of God. It’s his birthday.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Alright.”

“Mary was sitting in the sun outside her house. It was a normal day; a bit of cooking, a bit of helping around the house. She was having a few minutes rest, when suddenly an angel appeared.
“‘Are you Mary?' he asked.
“’Yes, who are you?' the startled girl replied.
“’I’m an angel from God, and I have a surprise for you. You’re going to have a baby.’
“Mary raised her hand to her mouth. ‘It would be a surprise, I’m not even married.’...”
...
Tumblr media
“... The three wise men were just going to go back home when God said: 'Don’t tell Herod where Jesus is. He wants to hurt him, not worship him.'
"’Right,” they said. 'We’ll go back a different way.'
“They did, and so King Herod never found out where Jesus was.”
Tumblr media
“Alright, now let’s see what everyone got.”
Tumblr media
“A doll! Thank you!”
Tumblr media
“Sweet, a cookbook!”
Tumblr media
“Was that a pun?”
Tumblr media
“Maaaaybe...”
It was a happy little accident, truth be told.
Tumblr media
“A necklace!”
Tumblr media
“It’s beautiful.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, tea. What flavor?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“A toy bird... Uh... Thanks”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Turn its tail?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“It flies!”
Tumblr media
“More toy soldiers!”
Tumblr media
“Oh, ribbons! Thank you.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, I got a doll too! Annabelle, maybe we can have a tea party.”
Tumblr media
“Tomorrow?”
Tumblr media
“Tomorrow.”
Tumblr media
“Can I come too? I’ll bring some of Mama’s bloodleaf tea.”
Tumblr media
“You’re a boy...”
Tumblr media
“And bring your soldiers!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“And you too, Ghost.”

“Oh, I got something for you!”

“And where are Dmitri and Ghost?”

What is your True Role in the Story? 🍂
Swiped from @sins-of-the-sea​
Tumblr media
The "chosen one"
Back again, young one? Still not comfortable with your new title? Yes, I can see you are one that prefers the simpler things in life, but you do deserve the rank they have given you. Oh, little sparrow, have you just now realized you are an owl? Soaring the skies with gleaming, outstretched talons. You lived your life blinded to your own abilities, but now the truth is out.
You did not ask to be a hero, which pains my heart to the core. but alas, the people have given you something so true and bittersweet you cannot bear to refuse them. For they have given you their trust. They praise you, songs will be sung of you, ballads written, feasts in your honor.
But, "why me?" you quietly whisper to the stars. If you could speak their language you'd hear their simple reply, "because." you, out of the finest candidates were chosen to be a sacrificial lion in golden chains. Your loved ones chanted your worth as it echoed from the steeples. But what was your say on the matter? I guess you had little to none, and unfortunately, neither do I. But destiny is not a burden, it is a gift, you feel weighted by the entire world, your shoulders ache from the hopes, fears, and dreams of the people who have chosen to follow you.
But their adoration isn't blind my dear. you are strong, you are worthy of the armor, of the crown. When you look back you will realize that you, my young god, were truly the savior many called you. Do not run from your purpose, seek it. And I do not mean the heroic of sorts, no, search for what makes you alive young hero, for here's a secret, you are just as much a hero to others as you are to yourself. If wouldn't make you a villain, to tell them no...

Tumblr media
“New or used?”
Tumblr media
Wonderful responses, both of you.
Moooving on...
Tumblr media
This is Serafina, she’s from Permico!
Tumblr media
“They don’t speak Permicon, do they?”
Tumblr media
Nope, but Penelope cast a translation spell when she came here
Tumblr media
“Alright...”
Tumblr media
“I’m the lead of one of Estrella’s newest plot bunnies. I’m going to be taking Alyssum and Elvira, the prince and princess of Hadaischland, from Permico back to their home.”
