Hmm. Well, he looks like an SC, maybe an anti-hero or antagonist, although I don’t know if he’s a villain.

Is he perchance the oldest of the street orphans?

@ellette-giselle

Oh yes please. I love guessing what type of character a charie is from their board.

@freed_and_redeemed

Thank you! It’s for my new WIP. (Which you probably already know. XD)

I like yours. His character is always interesting to see illustrated visually. The contrast of tender love for his children and the dark realities of his past right next to each other is incredible. ❤️ And the quites add hope. ☺️

@whalekeeper

That’s… Really bittersweet. It feels very much like it’s inside a person’s head. As the child who grew up going to nursing homes, I like it. The end makes it sweet.

@whalekeeper

I just had to go look up what a French silk pie is (and am now craving chocolate). I love those, but we typically make chocolate cream pies with merengue like coconut cream pies (which we also make, and pecan pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, cheesecake…*moan of hunger*)

I don’t remember hearing of this hopscotch, but I’d be…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s a much more coherent poem than my typical rambling-until-they-turn-to-poetry thoughts end up.

@whalekeeper

(Edit: The meat isn’t raw, just the masa)

So I assumed. That would be… interesting.

@whalekeeper

XD that’s great. I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

@whalekeeper

WhAt??????

It’s a great tradition. Also, homemade tamales are almost worth dying for.

@esther-c

Ah. That makes sense. We have turkey and ham for both, so we have dressing at both.

@esther-c

So, does your family have dressing or stuffing (or neither)?

We usually have cornbread dressing, although we have family up north who have stuffing, and I like both. The debates over which is better are fun to listen to.

We also have a bonfire and fireworks on Christmas Eve. It’s great fun.

@esther-c

Really? My family usually has a more traditional Christmas dinner with cornbread dressing, potatoes, turkey, ect. But we did barbeque one year with extended family, and enchiladas another.

I’m born and raised Texan, and yeah. Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round,…[Read more]

@theducktator

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

Agreed. XD

@esther-c

Random side note because I did recently find this out. Easter is mentioned in the KJV Bible (Acts 12:4), but it was an incorrect/imperfect translation. Most other translations use Passover.

We also have a new tradition where we eat a different cuisine for dinner on the three(?) nights leading up to Christmas.

That’s awesome. A lot of…[Read more]

@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]

@ellette-giselle Bwahahahaha

@liberty lol. I have 52 snowballs as of the last count.

*cackling*

@ellette-giselle Glad you liked it! This is probably the closest thing to a romance plot that I’ve written. (Instead of it being a small side plot.)

@stephie Since you apparently want to lay catch. *chases you*

OK…

*a giant cloud of snowballs puffs up from my…[Read more]
