The Piggy Story
Summary: Yelena is Melina’s Secret Santa and takes a crack at a few handmade piggy presents!
Pairing: Yelena x reader (platonic), Natasha x reader, Alexei Alanovich Shostakov x reader (platonic) Melina Vostokoff x reader (platonic)
Genre: Fluff
Word Count: 1.2k
Warnings: None
A/N: If you read Happy Thanksgiving, you will understand this story. If you didn’t, please enjoy the random silly fluffiness. 😂
For two weeks Yelena had been sneaking around putting everyone on edge. Coming and going at all hours of the night. Not letting you tag along like you normally would when she would walk Fanny. At first, you thought maybe she was preparing for an undercover assignment. Every time you asked her what was up, she evaded answering the question with a face that said, “If I tell you, I have to kill you.” Honestly, it was par for the course. You had learned not to overthink your sister-in-law’s idiosyncrasies. If it was possible, they made you love her even more.
You were still in your pajamas playing cards with Wanda on the sofa of the common room when Natasha walked in. “Hey detka, have you seen Yelena? She was supposed to be in a briefing with me and Steve 20 minutes ago.”
“No, I haven’t,” placing your cards face down on your lap. “Not since this morning anyway.”
“She’s been acting odd lately,” Nat said.
“Odd in general, or odd for her because you know there’s a difference,” Wanda offered.
“That’s true,” pointing at Wanda.
“If you see your best friend, would you tell her that her sister is going to kick her ass?”
“Aye aye wifey,” you giggled with a mock salute and a quick peck to her lips.
Your wife rolled her eyes, “It’s a wonder I married you.”
*^~^*
The next day you and Yelena were putting up Christmas decorations around the compound. You were dancing around the halls in your favorite Christmas sweater singing happily.
“Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Peter’s on the go
Laughing all the way
Bells on Fanny ring
Making Tony fight
Wanda wants to flip a coin
And sing this song tonight
Jingle bells, Clinton smells
Banner laid an egg
Ant mobile lost a wheel
And Loki got away
Hey!”
“That was very nice, y/n, now how about something from White Christmas?” Handing you a cup of hot cocoa topped with whipped cream.
No can do, boo. Only one performance per Christmas season,” sitting beside her on the sofa.
You both took a small sip of the chocolate beverage, the steam still rising hypnotically off the mug.
“You know, one of mom’s pigs is named Clinton.” Yelena grinned sheepishly.
“Really? That’s funny, I only know Alexi,” slurping some of the whipped cream off the top of your hot cocoa.
“Mom named Alexi, then she asked if Natasha and I would do the honors of naming the other two. Clinton was the poser’s choice.”
“I can’t believe Nat never told me. What name did you choose?” You took another sip of your beverage.
“Sir Francis Bacon.”
You almost choke on your hot cocoa, as you sputter and it rolls down your chin. “Oh my God. That’s adorable! You’ll have to point out which is which when we go to your parents house for Christmas next week.”
“You’ve got some whipped cream on your cheek.” Leaning over and licking it off.
“Oh my God! Who are you, Fanny?! I don’t know where your tongue has been! Ick!! Get some hot water, get some disinfectant, get some iodine!” You jumped up and ran to the bathroom as Yelena lapsed into giggles and fell on the floor.
*^~^*
The next few days are a splendor of Christmas activities. You had just settled down on the sofa wrapped in your favorite blanket to watch The Family Stone with the rest of the team when you noticed you were missing someone.
“Where’s Yelena?”
“In my lab,” Tony replied, tossing popcorn up in the air and catching it in his mouth.
“Umm, why?” Slightly confused.
“Blondie wanted a private space to work on a project. I told her she could use the lab as long as she didn’t joyride any of the suits.”
“Yelena in your lab with unlimited access to nanotechnology.” Nat pondered, grabbing two Christmas cookies and offering you one before snuggling up beside you in your blanket ball.
“Go down there and ask her if she wants to watch the movie,” you said, throwing popcorn across the room at Kate.
“Why me?” The young archer asked.
“Because you’re closer, and she’s starting to freak me out,” you reasoned.
“I wouldn’t worry about it. FRIDAY has an eye on her.” Tony said.
*^~^*
You awoke at Melina and Alexi’s on Christmas morning to the wonderful smell of Cinnamon Rolls and coffee. You agreed to do Secret Santas with your wife’s family this year. You and Natasha were wearing your matching Christmas pajamas ready to exchange presents, but Yelena was unusually eager and insisted on going first.
“I’m so excited! Mama, I was your Secret Santa this year and I wanted to try my hand at a homemade gift,” Yelena said, grabbing Melina’s tablet from the counter and tapping a few buttons on the touchscreen. “Come on in, boys!”
The door opened and all three of Melina’s pigs toddled into the house. As the three swine rounded the corner, you were greeted with the sight of each one wearing a custom-crocheted vest. Red on Alexi, Purple on Clinton, and Orange on Sir Francis Bacon. Each vest was expertly crafted and adorned with their name. Piggy prestige at its finest.
“Surprise, Mama! Now, not only will the piggies be warm in the winter, but they are stylish individuals with lots of pockets!”
“The pigs are wearing vests,” Nat deadpanned. You squeezed her hand with a smile, a silent plea to be nice.
“Not vests, sestra. Pests! Piggy vests. An invention of my own creation.” Yelena corrected. “Just call me the next Tony Stark.”
“The pigs are wearing Pests,” you revised with a giggle.
Thank you so much, sweetheart! They are wonderful. You know, I always thought they needed some sort of clothing. The winters are so harsh in Russia, and they certainly deserve something special.” Melina declared, planting a kiss on her younger daughter’s cheek.
“Alexi has the best Pest! Look at him, girls. He looks just like the Red Guardian. Ready to take on Captain America.” Alexi added, petting his namesake.
“Oh my God, it’s like living in a Dr. Seuss book,” Nat joked.
“I didn’t know you knew how to crochet?” Turning to your best friend.
“I didn’t. No, no… Kate Bishop does though. She taught me. It only took $100 for the yarn and supplies, which I stole from Stark, and a promise to never show up in the middle of the night again unless it’s an emergency.”
“That’s where you were sneaking out to at all hours of the day and night?” Surprise written all over your face.
“Of course, where did you think I was going?” Yelena asked.
“Undercover, the Multiverse, I don’t know!” Turning beat red the longer she looked at you. “You were scaring the crap out of everyone.”
“Ha! That is funny. You are so funny, y/n.” She placed her hands on yours and Natasha’s shoulders. “Now, I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but by New Year’s Eve, a couple of people in this room are going to be stylish individuals as well!” Wrapping you both in a warm group hug.
Natasha looked over at you behind Yelena’s back, and you couldn’t help but smile. Merry Christmas, indeed.

Hogfather propaganda:
"Originally a winter god and sort-of the manifestation of the hope that the sun rises again. He is in fact responsible for the sun rising in the depths of winter. Without him, all that would rise would be a burning ball of gas. The Hogfather lives in a freezing castle of bones and brings presents on Hogswatch.
His original form seems to be a massive pig, reflected in how his sleigh is also dragged by several great pigs. He is sustained by the collective belief in the world and at one point gets nearly killed, in a plot involving an assassin that goes after the tooth fairy and the people who watch over reality. He does survive this however."

South Park Song Tournament!
[also check out @votemattrey’s South Park 25th anniversary concert tournament on their blog!! <3]
I am aware the creators made an official song tournament, but i didn’t hear about it until after it was already over so I have decided to make one of my own!
This is very self-indulgent and there are a lot of south park songs to think of, especially if you include covers (which i have decided to do) so I am likely very biased in which songs i have chosen.
I have narrowed it down to 128 songs to start to give an easy number for a tournament, but if I haven’t included your favourite song feel free let me know in the notes, reblogs or tags and I will make sure to add it to the list.
Please don’t worry about whether requesting songs will interfere with the tournament numbers! I have plans to give second chances to the closest losers to ensure that there is never an odd number of songs going into the next round :)

Alright, I got a question. So the big talk in the States is this emotional support alligator. My question is: have y'all had any exotic or otherwise unconventional animal passengers? Or if not passengers, any encounters with odd wildlife?
"These days there is just cats and dogs and an occasional ferret, and there are horses up at Fossum to take the passengers on sleigh rides. Oh, and during the Christmas market last year there were alpacas in our yard! Those were adorable!
Back in the day we transported all sorts of farm animals. Horses, cows, pigs, sheep... There isn't that many exotic animals here in Norway. But we do sometimes encounter roe deer or even moose along the line. I've even seen a capercaillie once!"

Old SANTECLAUS with much delight
His reindeer drives this frosty night,
O’r chimney tops, and tracts of snow,
To bring his yearly gifts to you.
The steady friend of virtuous youth,
The friend of duty, and of truth,
Each Christmas eve he joys to come
Where peace and love have made their home.
Through many houses he has been,
And various beds and stockings seen;
Some, white as snow, and neatly mended,
Others, that seemed for pigs intended.
To some I gave a pretty doll,
To some a peg-top, or a ball;
No crackers, cannons, squibs, or rockets,
To blow their eyes up, or their pockets.
Where e’re I found good girls or boys,
That hated quarrels, strife and noise,
I left an apple, or a tart,
Or wooden gun, or painted cart;
No drums to stun their Mother’s ear,
Nor swords to make their sisters fear;
But pretty books to store their mind
With knowledge of each various kind.
But where I found the children naughty,
In manners crude, in temper haughty,
Thankless to parents, liars, swearers,
Boxers, or cheats, or base tale-bearers,
I left a long, black, birchen rod,
Such as the dread command of GOD
Directs a Parent’s hand to use
When virtue’s path his sons refuse.
"Old Santeclaus with Much Delight" is an anonymous illustrated children's poem published in New York in 1821, predating by two years the first publication of A Visit from St. Nicholas (Twas the Night before Christmas). It is the first publication to mention (and illustrate) Santa Claus's reindeer and his sleigh, as well as being the first to describe his arrival on Christmas Eve. The accompanying illustrations are the earliest published artistic depictions of a Santa Claus figure.

South Park WOWOW Japanese dub
I remember someone asking years ago if there was a place to watch the Japanese dub of SP, so here's a masterpost of all the episodes I've found so far. Links go to NicoNico Douga, the quality isn't the best but this is the only place I've found them.
SP has three Japanese dubs, from what I can see: the WOWOW dub (seasons 1 - 7), the Fox Japan dub (season 8), and the Netflix dub (seasons 15 - 23). If I find any more, I'll update the post!

I’m actually having a good time with the new Willow series. Objectively it’s not a great show, and it’s such a contrast coming off Andor which is. But the thing with Willow is that I don’t need it to be objectively good when my subjective enjoyment of it is as deep as that of Andor. However I wasn’t entirely sold until the third episode though, the first two had the right kind of tone and matched that with surprisingly likable characters, but it wasn’t until the third episode that it felt - right. Part of the charm of the original movie was that it didn’t take itself seriously and was just one long swashbuckling chaos endeavor. The movie’s idea of a plot quickly disappeared in a series of locations in which as much chaos as possible was rained down upon and by the characters. So the two first episodes of this felt a little too traditional in the sense that the plot was a little more coherent and seemed to rein in its chaos. But by the third episode they completely let those reins go and we are back into the barest of a semblance of a plot with mad chaotic adventures loosely strung together by a bunch of charming characters making questionable decisions. It’s a joy to watch really. It’s not high art, it’s just a heartwarming good time with action and adventure and so many quirky little aspects and ideas. I pretty much felt like one giant fantasy improv session - Oh you want French Brownies? Sure why not. You want two-headed troll mutations created out of bubbling brains? Coming right up. Could you turn everyone into pigs? I guess, why not. Is there room for a sleigh ride? I don’t see why not. And whoever asked and answered those questions in the original seems to have ghost-written this episode. If I say lesbian lumberjacks inhabiting the gingerbread house? Yeah, I think Gary’s got enough denim for it. Rat king but Zombie rat king? I thought you’d never ask.
It’s silly, but it’s fucking fun. I hope the rest of the season continues like this, because in the winter dark at least Wednesday evenings will be a little brighter. Only shame is that this is the kind of old school adventure show I’d love to see a few seasons of, because it’s not about the goal, it’s all about the journey. But I also know just like the original that it’s not the kind of thing that will find an audience upon its initial release, which is a bit of a shame. I'll enjoy the adventure while it lasts though. And if you want a reason to just smile a little give it a go.

Do you ever have any headcanons for what modern music artists the Peanuts gang would listen to/like when they’re older or something?
schroeder doesnt like much modern music but he does enjoy elton john and joanna newsom. i also want to believe that he would like jukebox the ghost but i know in my heart it isnt true
lucy's very top 40s oriented but if she finds loud girl music (sleigh bells, sophie, metric, alanis morrisette, etc) i def think she'd be into that
violet and patty are top 40s oriented as well but thats the music they genuinely like. they never get tired of Shape Of You
charlie brown's favorite bands are maroon 5, train, and nickelback. i will not elaborate but you get it
linus likes stuff like the cocteau twins and foster the people
sally is a fan of artists like ariana grande and olivia rodrigo and 100% gets in fights on stan twitter
peppermint patty doesnt listen to a ton of music. doesn't have a favorite artist, just listens to whatever's on the radio in the car. she prefers more upbeat stuff tho. the ONE band she can recognize by sound is fleetwood mac
marcie is harder to pin down for me... i feel like shes either an adele listener or a closet hyperpop stan. it can't be both
shermy likes 80s soft rock. reo speedwagon and foreigner and stuff like that. his taste is probably pretty similar to charlie brown's
snoopy and woodstock listen to fucking. sea shanties i dont fucking know
pig pen likes ethel cain and rednex send tweet

The Truth (Flash Fiction Fridays #28)
Simon’s laughter trailed off as Cuddles stared at him. “Wait… Santa isn’t real, right? Right?”
The cosmic guinea pig nibbled on a caramel-glazed donut and took a sip of brandy. “What makes you think he isn’t real?”
“Because it just doesn’t make sense. Someone who knows if you’ve been bad or good and who can not only deliver a gift to every child in the world but also one specific to their individual needs, all in one night? Santa would have to be some kind of nigh-omnipotent being.”
Cuddles took another bite out of his donut and raised one eyebrow. “Nigh-omnipotent? I might know someone who fits the bill.”
“…” Simon’s eyes widened. “No! There is absolutely no way that you’re Santa.”
Cuddles’s nose twitched, and he was suddenly wearing a Santa outfit, complete with a little Santa hat. Another twitch of his nose summoned a sleigh and a team of reindeer. One of the reindeer even had a red nose. Cuddles hopped into the sleigh and motioned for Simon to join him. A second later, they were soaring through the air over the Warehouse.
“…” Simon took a deep breath. “The reindeer are flying.”
“Yep.” Cuddles snickered. “They are.”
“This has to be a prank. You’re just messing with me. You’re not Santa.”
Cuddles took a long swig of his brandy. “Yeah, you’re right. I’m just messing with you.” He paused and sleigh bells began to ring. “Or am I?”
Author’s Notes
It is the season…
Simon and Cuddles are from Cosmic Delivery Boy. As might be expected, Simon is maybe overthinking things while Cuddles is being a bit of a troll. This is what happens when Mr Edwards isn’t around. That said, Cuddles does indeed possess the power to be Santa. It’s simply a matter of whether or not he also possesses the inclination.
But there is one way you can be sure he isn’t Santa. If he was Santa, he’d be asking for booze, coffee, and junk food not milk and cookies.

Back to the farm with my family. This weekend was Christmas on the Farm. We had hot apple cider and cupcakes, hayrides, pictures with sleigh and saw goats, sheep and pigs. Today is also the second anniversary of my mother’s passing. I just wanted to spend the day enjoying time with my dad, for him to be with his grandson and just having a nice, normal day.
