From the Guardians of Arcadia : Merry Christmas~!

THIS WAS RUSHED I KNOW ALSO I CAN'T COLOR DRAWING IS HARD DON'T HURT ME AHHHHHHHHH

And now for some Christmas Headcanons!!!

🎄🎄🎄❄️🎸🖤🗡🔮🛸👽💙☃️😸💚🎄

It’s Aja and Krel’s first Christmas! -^__^- They’re both captivated by the beautiful Christmas tree and are more than eager to help decorate.

Claire supervises, making sure the Akiridions don’t try to eat the pretty ornaments.

Nari’s dresses up as a reindeer (because of course), complete with a glowing red nose. Everyone hangs ornaments and lights on her antlers.

Jim bakes all the goodies! Cookies, brownies, and fruit cakes. He also cooks an epic Christmas dinner and has the world’s greatest eggnog recipe.

Douxie busts through the door donning a Santa hat and hoisting a sack of presents. You’d be hard-pressed finding a lad more hyped about Christmas than this moppet.

Zoe has a skull hanging off the tip of her hat because she can.

Steve and Eli are the idiot elves we all love.

Best believe there’s a Secret Santa, white elephant gift exchange (gag gifts galore)

Claire gifts Jim and Toby two halves of a heart-shaped “best friends” necklace. Toby wears it unabashedly.

But there are also actual gifts <3

Zoe gifts Douxie a jar of slorr juice for his hair. Good thing, he was just about to run out! (anyone on the Douxie server knows what’s up here lol)

Douxie gifts everyone Ash Dispersal Pattern merch (always be pluggin’ lol), but also lovely geodes from his magical crystal collection

Aja gives Steve a bag of oats...cause it reminds her of “oaf”.

Krel gives Eli a one-pound bag of pepper and stuffed jack rabbit (haha get it???)

Nari, being a sweet veggie bean, gifts everyone their favorite flower, magically immortalized.

Gotta have a mistletoe bit!

Jim and Claire share a sweet kiss. Que a collective “Awwwwww”

Steve and Eli find themselves under the mistletoe, much to Eli’s horror. Steve, being Steve, grabs Eli’s face and dramatically puckers his lips, going for it, before Eli straight up faints.

Aja tosses Eli’s body like a ragdoll, cause, like, no, that’s her bumbling oaf, before spinning Steve into a dip and landing one on him.

Douxie’s a shy bean but eventually Zoe tugs him down and pecks him on the lips. He smiles like a dork before kissing her for reals.

There are three snowmen outside: one that looks like a troll, one with four arms and a core made of pebbles, and one that looks like Archie.

Everyone settles down by the fireplace, drinking hot chocolate and eggnog. Aja nearly downs two pitchers full of eggnog.

Douxie gets out one of his acoustic guitars and softly sings Christmas carols.

They’re all snuggling and leaning on each other on the floor, all warm and fuzzy, listening to Douxie play.

After everyone cleans up, they put on Christmas movies.

Douxie and Zoe throw blankets over the youngins when they fall asleep. Then they sit in front of the fire, holding each other close and remembering a millennium of Christmas’. They add this one to one of their favorites.

Quick update for December!

So, I'm sure you all noticed that I posted the first chapter of a new series yesterday.

Guardians of Arcadia: Operation: Secret Santa is going to be my main focus this month, so I will be putting "Remember Me" on hold until January.

GOAOSS will be twelve chapters in total, and should be completely written before I finish the semester.

I finally titled the Nyxie fic! It is now titled "Live Unsilenced, Follow Your Dreams (With Me)"! I'm very pleased that I finally titled it, as it went over a month without a title.

Anyway, that's all!

#nyx talks about stuff #the castle's lady speaks #nyx's toa obsession #nyx writes stuff #december update #guardians of arcadia: operation: secret santa #live unsilenced follow your dreams #nyx's fics

Guardians of Arcadia: Operation: Secret Santa

Christmas is quickly approaching in Arcadia. While the town may not get such luxuries like snow or ice-skating, the Guardians still want to participate in some form of Christmas tradition all together. Some might not know exactly what is happening, but they're giving it their best shot! (TOA CHRISTMAS SPECIAL WHEN?!)

Rating: ages 13 and up!

Warnings: Canon and character typical levels of teenage violence. Staja. Jlaire. No Zoe, sorry guys. Oh, and swearing.

Part One: Set the Rules, Draw the Names

Jim stood on Blinky's table and shook the chandelier in an attempt to get everyone else's attention. Krel and Aja were poking around all the books, marveling at the dusty, distinctively non-technical tomes. Douxie was talking with Blinky and Aaarghhh about what was apparently a highly volatile piece of magical equipment. Steve was fawning over Aja in a ridiculously sweet way, while Claire and Toby were giving Eli a very, very, very indepth talk about the stuff that went on in Arcadia.

"HEY!" Jim yelled. As the room fell silent, he crossed his arms and frowned. "Are we doing this thing or not?"

"Oh, oh oh!" Aja bounced on her toes. "A pop quiz! Yes?"

"Don't worry, Jim, we're all listening now." Claire looked up at him, brows furrowed. "But, uh, you haven't told us what exactly we're doing."

Jim facepalmed. "I thought I missed something on the text. Damn it. Never mind." He breathed in through his nose to calm down. "Okay, so what we're doing is a Secret Santa. Before anyone asks, a Secret Santa is a gift exchange, but you don't know who gave it to you. Or, well, you're not supposed to know. Sometimes, people give really obvious gifts. Anyway, you give a gift to the person you're assigned to, but you don't sign it. Wrap it, if you can, in non-descript wrapping paper. Or go bananas. Actually," He looked at the Akiridion twins. "Everyone go bananas."

Toby grinned. "And how are we picking names?"

"We already have names, why do we need to pick new ones?" Krel grumbled in moderate confusion.

"No, you're not choosing new names," Claire told him. "You'll be given the name of someone else in the room, and that's who you're getting a gift for."

"Oh, I see! Like a covert mission, but with presents!" Aja giggled in glee.

"Yes. Before we draw names, I'm going to put down three ground rules."

"Three rules, always a good base. Well done, Master Jim." Blinky grinned.

"Blinky, I'm just organizing a gift exchange, it's not that hard. Anyway. Rule number one: Nothing over a hundred bucks. Some of us might be royalty, or related to people in power, but most of us are, shall we say... Broke. So there's a price cap."

Everyone nodded in understanding, Claire looking up at him with a displeased pout. He mouthed a "sorry" at her, then continued. "Rule two: Handmade gifts are more than acceptable. But food does not count. No food gifts."

"What about socks?" Aaarghhh asked.

Jim debated. "Try to refrain from socks, unless your name is not a troll."

Blinky and Aaarghhh grumbled, while Aja nodded exuberantly. "No socks for the Blinky and the Aaarghhh! Understood!"

Jim nodded. "Finally, rule three. Do not tell anyone who you got. Not between friends, siblings, partners, anyone."

The Tarrons pouted, as did Blinky, but everyone else nodded. Douxie stepped up. "And now for the name drawing!"

Douxie enchanted the slips of paper that went in so that someone wouldn't get their own name, and then shuffled them up. Jim held out a bowl, and the papers slid inside.

One by one, the participants came up and drew names. Jim fell in last, and he was okay with that. It made it easier to just grab his piece of paper.

He admitted that he was hoping to get Claire or Toby, maybe even Blinky or Aaarghhh. So the feeling he felt when he stared on the hastily scribbled name on the paper before him was nothing short of confusing and overwhelming.

He didn't know Krel that well at all. What do you get for a mega genius from outer space?

Guardians of Arcadia: Operation: Secret Santa

Rating: ages 13 and up!

Warnings: Canon and character typical levels of teenage violence. Staja. Jlaire. No Zoe, sorry guys. Oh, and swearing.

Part five: Skin of stone, where'd that paper go?

Blinky cursed as he quickly flipped through yet another book. He couldn't remember who he had for Master Jim's little surprise gift exchange, and he's lost the paper in his pile of books. So was shuffling through the pile, his four arms and six eyes working overtime trying to find it.

He couldn't ask Aaarrrghhh for help, since he couldn't know who Blinky had for the exchange, but Blinky's patience was wearing thin. He needed an assist, and soon.

Gibberish floated up from below the table, and Blinky peered underneath to see Chompsky chattering to his strange doll obsession.

"Ah, Chompsky. Excellent timing. I need your help, since you are not participating in the 'Secret Santa'. I am missing a small piece of paper with a name on it. It's about yey big," Blinky demonstrated with his fingers.

Chompsky looked up at the troll for a minute, chattered briefly, and then scampered off. The gnome ran across the floor to the bookshelf, then ran up the bookshelf, stopping only at the highest shelf. Chompsky pulled out a book, and pulled a scrap of paper from between the pages.

"Heehoo!" Chompsky cooed at Blinky, waving the paper back and forth.

"Thank you, Chompsky! Please bring it here, I must read the name off of it."

Chompsky blew a raspberry, but jumped down and gave the paper to Blinky.

"Thank you, truly you are the most noble of gnomes." Blinky flipped the paper over and peered at it. "Ah! I am to be serving... Master Tobias?"

Blinky pondered this development. "What would Tobias enjoy as a gift?"

Blinky began to pace, shoving the paper into his pocket as he did so. "What does Tobias like? He enjoys trollhunting. He likes his hammer. He very much likes to eat." Blinky paused. "Perhaps I could get him something that he can make food with!"

Blinky grabbed the phone that Master Jim had given to him for quick contact, and navigated around. He had heard marvelous tales about something called "online shopping" on "Amazon". Blinky was fairly sure that the Amazon was a rainforest, but there was a website by that name.

Blinky clicked on it, and it asked for him to make an account. Blinky frowned, and called the only person he trusted to help him navigate.

"Hello, Blinkous, how may I help you?" Stricklander greeted as he entered the cave, ducking slightly to avoid hitting his head on the doorframe.

"How does one use this 'Amazon' website? I wish to get a gift from Tobias from here, as all the stores in the human world tend to close after dark, and I don't yet have an umbrella for shade." Blinky showed Stricklander the screen. "It keeps asking me to make an 'account'."

Stricklander sighed and produced his own phone. "What are you intending to get for young Tobias? I can bring the package down to Trollmarket when it arrives."

"Let me see," Blinky said, snatching the phone from Stricklander's hands. "Something that he can make food with, since he enjoys eating so much."

Something caught Blinky's eye. "Easy-Bake? That sounds simple enough for Tobias to handle." Blinky followed the steps to purchase the item (With Stricklander's credit card), then handed the phone back to the changeling. "Thank you, Walter. I'm sure Tobias will enjoy this 'Easy-Bake'."

A faint smile drifted across Walt's features. "Oh, of course. I can't wait to see his reaction to your lovely, well-thought out gift."

Stricklander left, and Blinky frowned. Something about that whole exchange seemed odd, but Stricklander was a changeling, so it made sense for him to be off-putting sometimes.

Blinky returned to his books, humming an old tune. Tobias would enjoy the gift, he was sure. Absently, he wondered who Tobias was giving a gift to.

Part Three: What do you get your sister's boyfriend?

Krel was fuming the whole way home. Not only had Aja talked him into participating in this whole Gaylen-forsaken human game, but out of all the names he could have possibly drawn, it had to have been the blond oaf's. Not that he could tell Aja, either, or swap names, or any reasonable course of action.

No. He was stuck with Steve.

"Kleb." He muttered as he entered his bedroom, tossing the crumpled up piece of paper at his human desk. "What am I supposed to get for the oaf?! He is just... agh!"

Krel flopped on his bed right as Ricky Blank opened the door and reminded him that it was time for bed. Krel frowned but complied, still frustrated.

He awoke to Aja and Varvatos scolding Luug. Krel rolled out of bed and opened his bedroom door. Luug immediately jumped onto the prince, knocking him to the floor. His transduction failed as he hit the ground.

"Eugh, Luug! What did you do this time?" He grumbled, pushing the dog off of himself, and reactivating his transduction.

Aja came forward and help him up, offering him her two right hands. "Luug here ate all our writing tools. And a few of those notebooks we left on the counter, too. And perhaps my human grade math phone."

"Calculator," Krel corrected her as he stood up straight. "But, yes, it is rudimentary at best, if not outright primitive."

Aja sighed, looking at the gloopy mess on the floor. "I suppose we will need to replace these items." She gasped. "I know! Let us go shopping! We can look for gifts for the Secret Santa while we're there! It'll be so fun!"

"Ai-ai-ai. Fine. We shall go shopping for the writing sticks and tree skins. Let's go, right now, and get it over with." Krel started towards the door.

"Wait, little brother! I have to get my transductor-serrator! I'll be right back!" She dashed into her room, and came back out in her human form. "All right, I am ready! Let us go forth and purchase the school supplies!"

Krel followed behind his sister reluctantly. "Ugh, how do you always have so much energy?"

"I do not know. Maybe I just like the adventures we can have in every new day!"

"Adventures mess with my projects, though."

"I am sorry, little brother- Oh, Steve!" Aja interrupted herself, dashing across the street to throw herself at her boyfriend. "What are you doing here?"

"Uh," Steve faltered, his voice going higher. "Thinking!"

"Oh, is my oaf finally using his head for more than breaking down doors?" Aja teased.

"Sister... The school supplies?" Krel prodded, not wanting to be around Steve for too long, lest he let something slip with a sarcastic retort or something.

"Ack! You're right, Krel, we do have to continue! Goodbye, Steve! We can call later!"

Krel rolled his eyes as he continued down the street. They passed the cafe that the wizard, Douxie, worked at, then crossed the street.

They arrived at the mart soon after, and Aja ran inside, her exuberance even infecting Krel a little bit. He chased after her, curious to see what the human emporium held in store for them.

Aja stopped in a lane full of brightly colored packages. "What are 'toys'?" She asked, examining what appeared to be a tiny human trapped in a box with a disturbing smile on her face.

"Creepy. Or that one is." Krel looked around at the rest of the lane. "What are these? Primitive, plastic building bricks?" Krel took a closer look. "Fascinating. You can build them into miniature versions of things."

Aja put the fake human back on the shelf. "Enough with these, we have notebooks to replace!"

Krel followed, leaving the intriguing 'toys' behind. They entered into the "School Supplies" section. Krel selected a couple of packs of mechanical pencils, as Luug didn't seem to enjoy eating plastic, while Aja grabbed several notebooks. She paused for a moment.

"This looks like a serrator. But it's not, it's called a 'protractor'. The Eli has one of these, I've seen him using it in math class. It makes me think...." His sister trailed off and shook her head clear. Krel did not miss how she added the protractor to their hand cart.

The royal twins went and checked out, where they met Jim. They conversed briefly, but then Aja started rambling, and Jim disappeared. Krel shrugged, and left the store with his sister.

They passed a bookstore, and Krel spotted Steve inside, looking nervous and regretful. It was a far cry from all the times Steve had looked fierce, even if he was oafish and clumsy. The gears in Krel's mind began to spin on high speed, and he started sprinting.

"Little brother!" Aja cried. "Wait! Why are you running?"

Krel spun around. "I have an idea. And no, you can't know about it. But somebody needs an upgrade, and that's what I'm best at."

He continued running home, a grin slowly spreading on his face. Steve was going to get the best upgrade for his primitive weapon, and Krel was going to make sure he knew it was the best.

Otherwise, Steve was just going to have to stop dating his sister. Simple.

Steve was not having a simple time at all. As a matter of fact, he was rather lost.

It's hard being an oaf, even if he was Aja's oaf.

He hummed a rock song he'd been listening to the night before, not overly interested in Christmas music at the time. He made himself a cup of coffee and sat on one of his barstools in the kitchen, still thinking.

"Good morning, Douxie," Archie purred as he jumped up on the counter beside the wizard. "You have that look on your face, what are you thinking about?"

Douxie sighed as he pet the familiar. "I need to get Jim a gift for his Secret Santa exchange this weekend. I don't have much of any ideas, and I'm not supposed to ask around, or someone else in the exchange might figure out who I've gotten." Douxie tapped his chin, and said thoughtfully, "Ideally, I'd be able to ask his mother what he'd like, but she's usually around him, unless she's working."

Archie purred. "It's not like you can exactly go up to her at work, either."

Douxie put his cup in the sink and slipped into his shoes. "No, and I've got to go to work myself."

Archie tagged along as they walked down the streets of Arcadia, not talking, but just hanging out in each other's presence. Just before they got to the bookstore, Douxie stopped.

Archie turned around and sat on the sidewalk. "What is it, Doux?"

Douxie's face split into a mischievous grin, and Archie frowned. "I have a brilliant idea!"

"Not with that grin, you don't," Archie muttered.

"Oh come on, Arch, when was the last time one of my ideas went wrong?" Douxie protested.

Archie raised an eyebrow as best as a cat could. "You used the real genesis seals instead of making copies to lure the Arcane Order into your trap. That alone almost caused the end of the world."

"That was just the one time!"

"You've pulled hundreds of similar stunts."

"Would you just listen to me? If I can't see Mrs. Lake unless I'm a patient, I'll just become a patient!"

Douxie's bracer glowed, and Archie was a second too late in yelling out, "NO!"

Blue light flashed through the street, and when it fade, Douxie was curled up on the ground in agony. "Oooooohh this hurtsss."

Archie hissed. "I was going to tell you off, but as usual, you dove straight ahead without thinking or listening. What's the next step of this hairbrained scheme of yours, hmmm?"

Douxie pulled out his phone, dialing the hospital. "Hello? I broke my leg, and need an assist. May I make a request?"

As he continued talking through the pain, Douxie noticed Archie had turned away, and was sitting with his back towards Douxie, tail thumping the concrete. Douxie finished the call, and inched himself a tad closer to the fire hydrant, just so he had something to blame.

He knew Archie was mad, but he also knew that Archie would get over it. Plus, this was the only plan he could think of at the moment that wasn't outright illegal.

The ambulance showed up, and dumb as it was, Douxie felt special that they sent the only ambulance to him. As he was getting loaded in, Steve appeared.

"Hey, magic man! What happened to you?" Steve yelled.

Douxie covered his face and groaned. "A terrible plan. But it's working. Even though Arch said it wouldn't. Ohhh, but it hurts so bloody bad," he added, his teeth grinding together as the paramedics accidentally jostled him.

Steve yelled something as the doors were shut, and Douxie didn't catch it. It didn't matter. He was on his way to the hospital.

"Douxie?!" Barbara exclaimed as she entered the room where Douxie was sitting. "What are you doing here?"

"I broke my leg," he informed her, not looking up from what he was doing just yet. The blue magic faded from around his shin and hand, and then he looked up. "I needed to speak with you away from Jim, and this was the first plan I thought of."

Barbara frowned. "Well, it was a terrible plan, and never make a similar plan."

Douxie hung his head in mild shame. "Yes, ma'am."

Barbara softened. "What do you need to ask me, Douxie?"

Douxie lit up, similar to the Christmas tree in the lobby. "What would Jim like for Christmas?"

Barbara frowned slightly as she thought. "I don't know, actually. He hasn't made a Christmas list in years, you know. The last thing I knew he wanted was a Vespa."

Douxie joined Barbara in Frown Town. "We have a hundred buck price cap," he said.

"Oh." Barbara fell silent as she thought, her chin resting in her hand, the elbow of which was supported on the forearm wrapped around her midriff. "Maybe a nice set of," she paused and looked him up and down, "Not-cursed knives."

"I would never give someone cursed knives," Douxie gasped.

"You broke your leg and fixed it yourself just to come talk to me," Barbara reminded him.

"But that didn't harm anyone else!"

"You need therapy."

Douxie pouted, then focused again. "So, kitchen knives, because a Vespa is way more than a hundred bucks. I think I can handle that. Thank you, Doctor, I have been cured of my ailment."

Barbara raised an eyebrow. "You fixed it yourself."

"You don't have to tell that to the paperwork."

"That's some sort of fraud, Casperan."

"Oh, I haven't been mom-voiced in a long time," Douxie sighed. He gave her his insurance card. "That should be the current one," he muttered, gaining him another eyebrow raise.

Barbara let him go after he filled out some paperwork, and he strolled back to the bookstore, happy that he got the information he needed. He hadn't quite reached the store, however, when a hiss in an alley caught his attention.

He entered the alley and found himself face to face with Archie, who was displeased with his shenanigans.

"What were you thinking, you absolute blunderbuss?!" Archie hissed.

"I needed information, and I made a plan!"

"That was the stupidest decision you've made in several decades, Hisirdoux!"

"Well it worked, Arch! I now have the knowledge I need-"

"That doesn't make it any less stupid!"

"I'm sorry, Arch, I won't do it again. Barbara already scolded me, and I have learned my lesson about contriving on-the-spot-plans that may or may not involve hurting my own person." Douxie sighed. "Also, she told me I need therapy."

"You do."

"Rude. Come on, I've got to open the store now."

"I should be making you stay home and sweep the kitchen!"

Douxie walked across the street, and met Claire. He waved at her as he unlocked the bookstore, his nose wrinkling as the smell of smoke hit him.

Archie's voice echoed across the street behind him. "And if you break another leg, I'm grounding you! That was reckless and- Hello, Claire."

The conversation faded into the background as Douxie cleared out the smell and finished the set-up. Archie finally joined him in the bookstore as he placed an order on Amazon for a good set of kitchen knives under sixty dollars.

He was ready for the weekend.

----

The weekend soon dawned, and as the sun started to set on Saturday evening, Jim's street became the busiest in Arcadia.

Guardians of Arcadia: Operation: Secret Santa

Rating: ages 13 and up!

Warnings: Canon and character typical levels of teenage violence. Staja. Jlaire. No Zoe, sorry guys. Oh, and swearing.

Part Seven: Aja's very very very very big dilemma. No, wait. He's small.

Aja left her brother in the kitchen, taking her notebooks and pencils and dumping them on her bed. She opened one and flipped through the empty pages, giggling. She picked the pink sparkly notebook up and slapped it on her desk in excitement.

The motion and air displacement caused a thin piece of paper to fly up towards Aja. She snatched it out of the air, and deciphered the human writing on it.

"Oh, no. My Secret Santa! I forgot!" She yelled. She covered her mouth, glancing at the door. She lowered her voice. "I have to get the Eli a gift!"

The paper looked back at her un-consolingly. She knew Eli very well, thanks to all the time they spent together on Akiridion-5, and she could think of a billion things he'd enjoy.

"I might be in trouble."

Aja was hastily ruffling through everything in her room, trying to see if she could find the perfect gift without leaving Varvatos Vex's intense care. She'd already left once, she wasn't sure if old geezer Varvatos would let her out again.

"He'd love this hoverboard! I've seen him look at it, and all the other ones back on Akiridion-5. He gets so excited! Maybe I should get him one!" She paused. "Oh, but there are so many things he would enjoy! He was so enamored with everything on Akiridion-5! This is too hard!"

She flopped onto her bed in frustration. "The best place to go searching would be Akiridion-5 itself, but I'm supposed to be here for the month!"

Aja lied on her bed for a few minutes with her eyes closed, debating a plan. Her eyes flew open and she rolled off her bed, dashing through the house, deeper into the mothership. As she ran, she called her little brother's name.

"Krel! Krel! Krel, I need your help!" She announced as she found herself in the control room. "I need you to open a portal to a market on Akiridion-5. I will be wearing my hood, going as an Incognito."

"Why do you need to go back to Akiridion-5? You're supposed to be here for the month." Krel tweaked a screw. "But sure, whatever. Here's the remote."

He tossed it, and Aja caught it as she ran past. "Thanks, little brother! I have to go shopping!"

She opened the wormhole, threw on her cloak, made sure she had enough money, and jumped through. She landed on the ground in an alley close to a market she knew well. She grinned and chuckled.

"This will be perfect."

"AGH! THIS IS NOT PERFECT!" Aja yelled, kicking a canister. "There are too many things that the Eli would enjoy!"

She kicked the canister again, then sat down, defeated. "What would he appreciate? What he would use?"

She thought about it. "A hoverboard would only trip the Eli up. He needs something useful, especially since after the month is over, we're coming back here to deal with the remainders of Morando's forces. He needs..."

A grin split her face. "A serrator!"

Aja quickly sprinted through the market, and made her purchase of a very high quality serrator. Not quite royals quality, but only a step down.

"Thank you!" Aja cheered, running back to her alley. She activated the portal, and jumped through. She tucked the serrator into her cloak as she fell into the control room.

"I have returned! I am victorious! I shall see you at dinner, Krel!" Aja yelled as she ran through the ship.

She giggled in sheer glee as she made it to her room and slammed the serrator onto her desk. She grabbed the nearest box, dumping the contents on the floor. She enthusiastically put the serrator on the box and wrapped it in as many pretty papers as she could find. Then she slapped some stickers on it, a giant bow, and confetti she'd found in Toby's room a few months ago.

"Perfect! The Eli will never know it's from me!" Aja giggled.

----

Eli was spinning on his desk chair, to mimic the feeling he had in his head.

After all, what would he get such a popular person?
