#leena as the mother of the house making the meal

Life Day Meme

@cinlat​ tagged me to do this and probably thought I would just do my mains... instead here is almost every one of my ocs - I did skip a few I haven’t developed much in my mind/in writing. Explinations are under the cut, they arent long but there are a lot of characters to cover but you know what? This is the most creative thing I have done other than making art projects for 4/5 year old kids in months and by far the most I have written so I am feeling pretty good atm. I may actually manage to get past this writer’s block.

Buys deep and thoughtful presents

Caoimhe is the most thoughtful gift giver ever, she was raised to only have the essential possessions and that turned her into someone who only gives a present she knows will be wanted, needed and appreciated for the long term.

Edin looks like the last man you’d expect to be a master gift shopper but he loves showing how well he knows the people in his life, notably he is proud of surprising Naadia with a lovely silver tea service set she never told him she needed (and having it delivered to her home on Maanan she never told him about…)

Leena is the responsible twin who takes care of the meal, the decorations and always has her shopping done a month in advance. Deena would love to one up her someday but that day hasn’t happened yet.

Mald doesn’t have many people in his life to buy gifts for and takes great pleasure in finding the prefect ones.

Nuada like his father takes after his mom, he would never leave something as important as presents to the last minute. Especially after meeting Rasiel and wanting to make up for the terrible holidays of her childhood it became more important than ever to always get the right thing.

Buys presents the night before

Darvic is the man running for presents on the day of, desperate to find anywhere still open.

Izara, not because she forgot but because it took that long for someone to impress on her that it’s important to exchange gifts. She just doesn’t see the purpose or appeal.

Markus gets so caught up in the activities of the season, hoversleigh rides, winter wonderland dates with his wife, carol concerts, he just sort of forgets.

Seleshi has a system, a system based on panic and adrenaline and somehow always makes Vette and his sisters happy with what he got for them.

Goes overboard on decoration

Hendrick is a red and green bleeding lover of the holiday and believes there is never enough lights. Those insane music coordinated houses on holotube? His has the most views and likes.

Keeleigh doesn’t do anything halfway and the holiday is not an exception. The ship is hard to live in when she drags out all her decorations but she is the Captain and well, she does whatever she wants to.

Naadia is listed here not because she goes overboard on the décor but because she does on the meal. She is a gourmet chef and loves any event she gets to cook for. Hell she cooks for one night stands, if they preformed well enough to earn it that is.

Rugama like her wardrobe, she doesn’t know where the reasonable line is and no one in her life is going to say “no you don’t need another life day tree” to the woman who never got to celebrate even her birthday until earning her freedom as an adult.

Tuathal is his mother’s child in more ways than one and decorating his home to the nines is just one of them. He loves the holiday but the trappings and getting to curl up in front of the fire while music plays with Ma’at makes everything in his world feel right.

Is banned from helping with the food

Aubriex both doesn’t know how to cook but has… questionable taste in food combinations. Her family has learned she is best off bringing the paper cups and ice.

Deena has no idea how to cook (I’ve even written her messing up scrambled eggs for Doc… so yeah no holiday means coming from this Jedi).

Zaria didn’t blow up the food but also learned that “more fire = faster food” doesn’t work either.

Ze doesn’t see a difference between MREs and home cooked food and putting him in charge of a meal is asking for dehydrated nutrient bars and it’s your fault for trusting him.

Wears a novelty jumper

Dubaku wears bright, garish sweaters whenever he isn’t at a bar or working, he has entirely novelty outfits not just jumpers and all his favorites light up and make music.

Eira takes great pleasure in embarrassing Quinn with her choices, going so far as to get matching ones for him and Vette and insisting on yearly “family” pictures

Meleri goes out off her way to find the frilliest, girlish most over the top jumper she can every year.

Noara loves the holiday and leans into it hard once she moves away from her Jedi teachings enough to enjoy it. Holiday outfits make her so happy.

Dina will wear it, but more because it was a gift – likely from Ari – and because she is always cold.

Gets overly competitive playing dejarik

Briec has never had a good holiday, or any other sort of wholesome, family oriented event, but it’s a good time to take advantage of drunk celebrants that are looser than normal with their credits.

Juli loves the holiday, a warm loving family helps, but isn’t interested in setting up the décor or making food. However she loves taking her “uncle” Aric to the cleaners and making her brother regret accepting her challenges.

Kai loves seeing how far she can go using the Force to cheat. She usually returns her winnings, or donates them, so she doesn’t see it at a bad thing.

Refuses to leave their quarters until its all over

Holidays have little appeal to Dela and she doesn’t participate unless her bestie drags her out.

Jurr is hard because without Kadu she belongs here, avoiding the day and pretending it doesn’t matter that she is alone. With him she is all about the day and the sweaters he buys her, but isn’t good at cooking, or gift giving but he never lets her forget entirely.

Kuqi is jaded in all the ways, holidays hold no interest for her. She just wants to forget how things used to be.

Mags isn’t sure what the point of the holiday is, conflicting views from being originally a Jedi initiate to a Mandalorian foundling have left her ready to wash her hands of it and find some work to do instead.

Nerra just wants to spend the day in bed with Andronikos, is that too much to ask? The next person to wish her a “happy life day” is going to lose a limb.

WH13 2x13 pt 5

Artie and his father catch the lie, but Claudia butts in to try to be peacemaker, and they go back to bonding by mutual annoyance at her, and she’ll take it. She just backs away and smiles, and I love her so much (but I wish Artie were nicer)

Duh! Of course the artifact is one of the antique ornaments, I can’t believe I didn’t catch that sooner. And it’s decorated with a photo of Larry as Santa, that’s why he’s showing up that way. And aww, Pete used to be a marine and so he’s the one with the historical artifact knowledge in this instance. I like when he gets to be unexpectedly smart

Pete made me want Chinese food. He stole the guy’s takeout, and then doubled back for a cookie when leaving the wife’s. I love him.

Aww, Callie saves the day, and they have a moment of being a happy family. That was sweet, and I loved Myka and Pete’s comments along the way.

Pete is such an excited child about Christmas, desperate to open presents and know if Myka likes his gift. He’s an adorable puppy.

“I’m wearing your coat. ... I’m freezing.” Aww, Artie wore the coat anyway. He’s occasionally very sweet, begrudgingly.

Leena, running off in a panic to check her turkey, and Claudia chasing after her to help <3

Aww, good, there is a menorah, on top of the new piano! And Claudia is a giant dork who made them all shirts of the artifacts that nearly killed each of them. That’s really odd and slightly morbid and perfectly Claudia, refusing to let it have power over her

“You know, I’m sorry you didn’t get to spend Christmas with your family.” “Well, thanks. You too. But, you know, after watching Newley, I realized I was already with someone that I cared about, and that’s what matters, right?” “Don’t you get all mushy and sweet.” His grin is so sweet and pure, he truly is a giant puppy

God, what a beautiful family. Teasing about the blend of religions and traditions and holiday experiences, joking together and laughing and smiling and sitting down to a meal as a family, the whole hodge-podge lot of them. That was beautiful

#wh13 #wh13 2x13 #i liked the joke of 'the annoying gentile' at claudia bc allison has talked about #how saul (at least used to) invite her over for jewish holidays and she was welcomed into the celebrations #they really were like family #and so highlighting claudia in all of that was kind of a beautiful thing #leena as the mother of the house making the meal #and pete the man of the house cutting the turkey #look i need cleena christmas fic now #but i can't hunt for it because spoilers #so if anybody's got recs?
