Asking anonymously because I don't want anyone to find my current blog but I'm the person who wrote that Carol of the Bells history rant. My partner and I were talking about how it tends to turn back up every December and I jokingly said "yeah, if hellsite-hall-of-fame ever reblogs it I think my soul might leave my body". But then it occurred to me that you probably did? So I checked, and you did, and my soul is, in fact, exiting my body because somehow my horrible college tumblr has a legacy.
it absolutely has a legacy, that post is wonderful-

🐇 Dec 31 2023
So, clearly 'continuing at my own pace' did not happen! I am bummed I wasn't able to keep up with this project— I was looking through past drawings yesterday morning like dang! I drew some good rabbits!! Wedding planning just really sapped my energy this year, but once that's over in a few months I will probably rebrand this as more of a general art blog. Might do more rabbits and slowly fill in the gaps/catch up over time, maybe throw in some dragons here and there.
Thank you to everyone who stuck around this year <3

Do you have nct fic rec? Or anything you are currently reading or have read?
i haven't been able to read much nct fic lately since writing/editing has been sucking up all my free time outside of work, and lately i've been reading more ateez (yunho just has a grip on me) but there are a few authors i'll drop everything for so here's the latest i've read from them/started reading but haven't gotten around to reviewing:
@sluttyten - you in my arms (haechan voyeurism/exhibitionism, haven't had the strength to read the last chapter but absolutely a work of art in terms of longform storytelling and mixed perspectives)
@ncteez - expert adversary (taeil office au, adorable read i went down a taeil hole lately for obvious reasons)
@jnnul - ric flair drip (jaehyun college au, this was so fun/fresh/flirty i enjoyed it even though campus/frat stuff is kind of low interest for me)
@yutaholic - there will be blood (yuta assassin/thriller vibes, beware major character death warning. luna writes villain!johnny the best, control is my all-time favorite fic in this vein, it haunts me, i will never be over it)
anything omegaverse, anything johnny, anything at all from @neopuppy, like that's the GOAT there, another godtier johnny fic that lives in my head is dumb, dumb dilf johnny with an age gap ilu i've been meaning to revisit
also i accept recs if you ever want to send anything my way!

Finally close enough - 221b
December prompts! I used Wish & Star. (dec 2nd)
~•~•~~•~~•~~~•~~~•~~•~~•~•~
It was May when I wished for it.
Laying down, looking up, listening to the night. An owl hooting behind, a blanket wrapped around, a sky full of stars above us.
Him next to me: not close enough.
I felt him breathing beside me. I felt myself stopping to breathe when his hand brushed mine. The adrenaline of the case long gone left me behind vulnerable and sensitive. No longer a soldier, just an ordinary guy who's falling in love.
I wished for it and was simultaneously afraid of it. I wished for it again when I saw another shooting star.
It was December when it came true.
A glare. Incredulity. An awkward laugh and my fingers tucking on my collar. Incredulity turning into confusion.
Fear made me wanna turn around. Turn around and run. Run until I forgot. Run forever, because how could I ever forget.
Looking up I saw confusion fading into amazement.
Something in his eyes made me smile. Feel warm inside, feel safe, feel brave.
He must have seen something in mine too because then: him, right in front of me. So close. Not close enough.
I don't know who leaned in first. I do know we met in the middle.
A wish came true and I wasn't afraid anymore. A wish of lips, tasting like biscuits.
~•~•~~•~~•~~~•~~~•~~•~~•~•~

It's so important to me that Minkowski and Eiffel and Hera spend December 25th together to celebrate Eiffel's birthday post-canon. And the hope that they spend that day together is a sentiment shared by Gabriel Urbina.
But Minkowski canonically cares about Christmas itself. Minkowski has people in her life whom she could spend Christmas with. And so there will probably have to be a difficult conversation at some point after the Hephaestus crew return to Earth, when someone says how good it will be to have Renée there for Christmas Day again. And Minkowski will have to look at her husband, or her relatives, or her in-laws - people who loved her and mourned her and celebrated upon her return from the dead - and she'll have to tell them that she won't be there on Christmas Day. And if the person who asks knows her at all, they'll see the look on her face and know that there's no negotiating to be done here.
It's not exactly that she doesn't want to celebrate Christmas with the people she used to celebrate Christmas with. But she can do that on any day near the end of December. Spending December 25th with Eiffel and Hera is something she absolutely cannot compromise on.
The main reason she'd give for this is that December 25th is Eiffel's birthday. Whether or not it matters to him as much as it used to, Minkowski wants Eiffel's birthday to get the recognition it deserves, because it was so important to him and he never expected anyone else to care or remember.
A second reason - one she might never speak aloud - is that she's always thought that Christmas is a time for family, and nowadays that means that spending it with Eiffel and Hera feels right to her.
But I think there's a third, perhaps equally important, reason underneath those two. Maybe she doesn't admit it to herself consciously, but I think part of Minkowski believes that the only people who can really understand the complicated way she now feels about December 25th are the two people who were there with her when everything went to hell on Christmas Day.
It was December 25th when they realised they'd made contact with aliens, and when Hilbert locked Minkowski outside the airlock and tried to incapacitate Eiffel and tore out Hera's personality hardware, and when everything Minkowski had thought she knew about the Hephaestus mission fell apart.
How can she exchange gifts with people for whom it isn't the anniversary of the one of the worst days of their life? How can she gather round a Christmas tree with people who've never feared for their lives at the hands of Alexander Hilbert and Goddard Futuristics? How can she eat turkey and trimmings with people who weren't there when the Christmas dinner was never eaten because there was a murderous mutiny from one of the intended guests? How can she spend December 25th with people for whom it's never been a day of betrayal and fear and loss and uncertainty eight lightyears away from Earth?
Eiffel doesn't remember that awful Christmas and that brings its own kind of pain for Minkowski. But he was there, and so was Hera, and so (no matter what anyone else expects) Minkowski needs to be with them on that complicated day.

The F1 & MotoGP seasons are about to start in a handful of weeks so you know which time it is. The surveys should both take between 5 to 10 minutes to fill. I'm only making one post for this but the two surveys are independent so you're good to go even if you only follow one of the two series.
I have two Canva files already ready with the templates for the results so it won't take long to complete them with the numers once I close the surveys. Both sets of results will be posted before the first race weekend of the respective series.
F1 2024 PREDICTIONS SURVEY : here
MOTGP 2024 PREDICTIONS SURVEY : here
While I have your attention, I can maybe also interest you in my etsy shop (promo code : TUMBLR10) where you can find my digital journals (and the associated tiktok).
