Yeeeeesss 😭 I’m tasked with making them each year, and I secretly eat the masa and meat raw like cookie dough… 😬

@mineralizedwritings @loopylin @rae @koshka @elishavet-pidyon

My shower thoughts sometimes turn into poems. 😛

…

No name.

Ten years I’ve lost my ever-changing mind.

My words have slowed, and must be redefined.

Your name slips on my tongue, a stranger’s taste;

The dullness and the gray leave me misplaced.

A nursing home will try to…[Read more]

@grcr

Well… I’ve read books with 100+ chapters, so it wouldn’t bother me at all. The book I’m reading right now is YA fantasy with roughly 70 chapters. If your chapters are a little short, it might make sense to combine some of them so it doesn’t feel too choppy. But otherwise it’s all up to you.

@koshka

Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round, which we do, they’re just a Christmas tradition I guess.

No waaaay. O.O That’s our tradition! We have homemade tamales for Christmas dinner every year, plus a huge smorgasbord of cheese, meats, candies, etc.

@theducktator

THAT. Role playing games…*leans back and remembers*

As the eldest, I have many memories of leading role-playing games with my sisters. Think tea party but with a plot and all of the dolls are sick with appendicitis. (There were a lot of games. Some of them were action packed, like when we had a villain who wanted to take everyone…[Read more]

@theducktator

Praying!!

@grcr you have no idea how relieved I am to hear that someone believes the same😂 I only know 1 family irl that don’t celebrate Christmas, and it often feels like my family is alone in what we believe about Christmas, and tbh it can get low-key lonely at times

We just personally believe that God deserves better than recycled material, that He…[Read more]

@stephie yessss

@theducktator Executed for treason? Yikes. I’d hate to be the pecans.

“….the long lost cousin from Australia who was in jail for arson and wants to burn down the White House.”

Hey! That’s me!

oh so I guess you’re Sniper and Huntress’s child, then. (RAE’s told you about them right?)

@elishavet-pidyon ooooh I like…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle LOLLLLLLL

they would so do that though

Also important to note that Americans saw/knew Christmas as a Pagan holiday until the 1800s when it became “popular” to celebrate Christmas partially because of an influx of German/Irish immigrants who regarded Christmas as a celebration of Jesus’ birth

@theshadow

Hiii. I’m gonna be the first on here to say that I don’t celebrate Christmas, and neither does my immediate family (meaning parents/siblings). :3

(and that’s one reason why Christmas will be pretty much absent from everything I write as well🤷🏻‍♀️)

However, I don’t look down on anyone that does. Celebrating or not celebrating…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a Fisherprice nativity.😃

@theshadow

I do. I also have friends who do not. One family I know celebrate a Christian version of Hanukkah instead, which is essentially celebrating how Jesus brought light into the world. The other doesn’t observe anything that could be confused with Winter Solstice and Yule. For me, I agree with @power . The holiday is what you make it.

My…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium @ellette-giselle

It’s fine with me.

@theducktator

That’s perfect. Making up stories for things can be really handy though. I have a whole legend for a dress I’m making that has me as the younger daughter of a Holiness Methodist preacher in the woods of Texas who was heavily influenced by the Cane Ridge revival. We’re lower of the middle class, so my second best dress is a little…[Read more]

@theducktator

oh my goodness.

why does that sound familiar.

@ellette-giselle

Yeah… but you’d be writing it whether or not you’d been hit with a snowball…

I guess it’s probably fine 🤷‍♀️

You know you’re a writer when you are chopping pecans and decide that they are getting executed for treason.

You know you’re a writer when you are playing family, and you are the long lost cousin from Australia who was in jail for arson and wants to burn down the White House.

My dad just got laid off. Please pray that he finds another job soon.
