Aye Dolly lore time!
Dolly isnt part of the main cast of welcome home, obviously. She is a mascot of a popular confectionaire store back in the 60s, Doll's Delights. The company that owns Doll's Delight was a major sponsor of the Welcome Home franchise. Doll's Delights would often sell Welcome Home themed treats to the masses helping boost the show's popularity. At the present, Doll's Delight no longer exists. It is speculated that the store's parent company went bankrupt.
Dolly the muppet herself was made in the late stages of the Welcome Home series as a tribute to Doll's Delights. She is a living easter egg. Although a puppet of hers was made, Dolly never had an official introduction in the series, only having backround appearances in the later episodes before the Welcome Home series was pulled off airs.

it wasn’t always that xiao visited liyue harbor.
he wouldn’t interact with the floods of people that surround the harbor, thinking that it should just stay like that. a yaksha that’ll watch from afar, doing his work in the shadows as he refuses to show himself in the light.
“you… want to visit liyue harbor? with me?” you asked, confusion trailing in your tone.
xiao nodded his head, yet he refused to meet your eyes as he did so. “if you’re free and okay with it; if not, never mind,” he says, still avoiding your gaze. “oh, of course we can! there hasn’t been much to do lately anyways,” you replied.
by the time you got to liyue harbor, it was flooded with people. it wasn’t unusual for it to be like this; in fact, you’ve gotten quite used to it. but you were slightly worried for xiao, for he had to visit when the harbor was like this.
as the two of you walked side by side, you felt a hand grasp onto yours. you were worried for a moment, but you felt relieved once you realized it was just xiao.
“i’m sorry that you had to visit like this,” you awkwardly said as you walked. “it’s fine,” he said as he held your hand tighter. “are you okay? you don’t usually hold my hand this tight,” you asked.
xiao took a few moments before he could respond, “i’m fine. i just didn’t want you to get pushed around with how many people are also walking among us.”
“o-oh! well, even if we get lost, at least we’ll be lost together.” you replied.
“is that so?”
well, even if the two of you do indeed get lost, xiao wouldn’t mind it that much.
as long as you’ll be lost together, that’s okay for him.

UU Week Day 7, a song/poem/quote you associate with Undead Unluck:
Vancouver Sleep Clinic - Killing Me to Love You
I'm cheating a little, because I chose a song I associate specifically with BillyTella, BUT HEAR ME OUT.
The song I associate most with UU is 01; it is the reason I started the manga, and it has a dear place in my heart. BUT I felt it was a cop-out lmao.
(The other song is Teppeki, but I'm already writing a fic inspired by it OOPS)
SO- I took the opportunity to try and materialize the BillyTella AMV that plays in my head with this song- mind you, I hadn't touched an editing software in like, 6 years, but as soon as I saw the prompt I knew I had to try to do it. It's a mess. But it is my mess 💖
It's mostly for their 100th loop versions, but I throw some refs to the next loop in there too.
(The reason why I chose to upload it to yt instead of like- here, is because: 1. Wanted to add subs, 2. Wanted to embed it into my AO3 account to have the 7 prompts in there)

What do you expect/hope to see in twp?
oh i love this. not theories, necessarily, but expectations? let's see..
faerie will come to its "full power," as was prophesied, and will thus fall into shadow. (i feel like this is either going to be the only option kit has in a moment of quick decisions, or joining the courts is something he is forced to do? this may separate parties, and/or require the rosales heirlooms to come back from)
i don't expect that kieran will remain king of unseelie after the series ends
janus is gonna die, ash is also gonna have to stand against him at some point
i think ash and kit are going to have to work together (and use their magic in tandem?) to defeat the big bad (lucifer et al?)
james' gun!! will be used!! (<- can you tell i'm excited about this?)
the main hub location will be in england
(i have so many theories as to what the major shift will be at the end, but i don't have enough faith in any of them to present it as an expectation)
as for hopes..
pointy-earred kit please
excalibur makes an appearance
the main cast will remain pretty small until major events. with how much has to be accomplished in this series, i don't think i could take the ambitious cast of tlh. leaving it with the main 4-7 would be ideal.
it will be drenched in moral gray-ness. i think the characters are ripe for it, and with how complicated things look like they're adding up to be, i think it really only makes sense. plus, it would allow for more tension between the mcs
i really need to start brushing up on my arthurian legends. even if cc doesn't rely super heavily on it when shaping the story, i can't wait to see how it comes into play.

They've all made it down the mountain. And now all of them sit in the cold waiting room of the ranger's station nursing their wounds as they wait for the ambulance to make it's way to them through the blizzard. And yet, all Mike can focus on is not his missing fingers, or how terrible of a condition that Jess is in.
No, all he can focus on is just how fucking *quiet* everyone is being right now.
Ooof, coming in here three to five business days late, but here's my gift to @princewarmachine for the @untildawn-secretsanta! Sorry it's so late 😓 Tried my hand with something different and wrote a Emily/Mike friendship fic for you with some bonus of me trying to actually work the friendship of *everyone* into it as well.
I hope you enjoy it!

Not trying to pressure you at all please take your time but when you say you’re hoping to finish the latest chapter soon are you meaning like within a day or by this next weekend?
I just can’t help myself and keep checking if you’ve updated because I love your story so much so wanted to ask
Really no pressure though thank you for your great story
AHA you’re good!!! I meant I finished the latest chapter while I was at work and I’m going to post it sometime either tonight or tomorrow morning (based on timezone stuff, it’s like 4pm for me rn)!!
also don’t ever feel bad about asking me personally! generally it’s considered rude socially to ask for updates and like, demands for updates authors get miffed at but I don’t mind a check in like this. knowing people are banging on my door and refreshing when I haven’t updated is what actually holds me accountable to meeting my self imposed deadlines LOL.
