Steely Dan Headcanon | Christmas
Look I know I said that I’d cram my ethnic music on my writing, but for the life of me I didn’t have anything Christmas-related, so you’re all getting Marc Aryan
Has absolutely nothing to do with the holiday, but the vibes are there
Being born and raised in Iraq, Dan’s not at all used to what would widely be considered “Western Christmas” (Capitalist Christmas? ‘Murican Christmas?). So at most when it comes to those traditions, he has no idea about things like magic reindeer or elves
Who the fuck is Santa, and why do you let him break and enter your house?
His knowledge extends as far as more traditional Christian beliefs go, having been surrounded by Syriac and Assyrian practices regarding the holiday. He knows living rooms strewn with pictures of biblical figures, nativity scenes, and the same old stories retold every year
Festivity-wise he’s used to hearing church bells, singing in the streets, and the occasional blaring car horn whenever he passes by a celebration. Dan was never necessarily part of it, though — on account of sticking next to his mother like glue — but he remembers it fondly
Being a devout Muslim herself, while Dan’s mom never extensively took part in any traditions, she would take some part in celebrating alongside family and friends (of course with Dan tagging along with her)
Being Middle Eastern, every celebration was hallmarked with food. Expect lots of desserts from him, especially kletcha
Post-SDC, one of the first Christmasy things he takes a liking to is gingerbread cookies. He doesn’t care too much for frosting, but they’re delicious to him and he always goes overboard with adding nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon
People don’t like his cookies. It’s too spicy for them
I cannot reiterate enough how much Dan likes the Christmas tree. From the moment he steps into someone’s home and sees it, he’d spend most of his time admiring the decoration rather than taking part in the holiday
Sure, he’s used to shrubs and plants inside the house, but a whole tree? Something’s baffling to him, and he has a really hard time differentiating a real tree from a fake one, especially if it has one of those scents on it. Though, that doesn’t stop him from pointing out what he thinks is real or fake and insisting that he’s right
He loves decorating the tree; although, Dan’s one of those control freaks who tries to head it by himself. The tree doesn’t end up that bad, he’d even go far enough with adding a skirt and trying to color-coordinate
Expect some creative liberties here and there. Having seen single ornaments sold outside of whole packs would give him the idea that you can just add whatever you like onto the tree. He might have a scarf from home that he tries draping across the tree, maybe tying it off at the ends and forming a small ring near the top or letting it droop like some weird tree-belt-chain
Growing up in Baghdad, Dan had never experienced snow with the only exception being his time under asylum in Turkey. Still, if he’s ever caught during a white Christmas, he’ll run out, disregarding how cold it is outside, and pile snow by the door to play in it
Either that or pelt unfortunate passerby with snowballs

Hiya! ☺️ I saw your post about the f/o lists and thought it was such a creative idea and so adorable!!
If you don’t mind, could you please make one for Steely Dan? 👉👈💗
Hello! I rewatched the Lovers episodes to get some ideas and here's what I came up with!
-First up is sunglasses similar to Dan's as kebab salesman:
(it should be the color scarlet red | smoke)
-Next is an official Steely Dan script hat (since they're the namesake band for Dan)
-Along with Steely Dan merch, I suggest listening to their album Aja (since we know Araki used it as inspiration for part 2's red stone of Aja!)
-A set of "The Lovers" tarot card earrings to represent his stand
-There's also a JoJo version of The Lovers card as a sticker on redbubble
-These "macaron pink" contacts that remind me of Steely Dan's eye color (this contact company is FDA approved!)
-Also if you're brave enough--you could do eyebrow slits with a razor like the ones he has!
-Here's a few options for bracelets inspired by the one he has Jotaro try to steal: Style 1 Style 2 Style 3
-And finally, we see Steely Dan sit down and drink something from a teapot in his episode set
so I think it might be Pakistani Chai! Here's a recipe if you'd like to try your hand at making your own:
(also go for doner kebab or something similar like gyros if it's available in your area ;)
-As always, I recommend writing your f/o a letter (either in a journal or on @ jojolovenotes), sketching your favorite screenshots, rewatching the episodes your f/o shows up in, and making a playlist inspired by your f/o (including their music namesakes).
