#themod444

dedicating so many episodes to show plot things involving background characters that could’ve been explained in a quick flashback, giving more screentime to more important things/characters? nobody cares about the Holts and the other garrison students, nobody wants two full episodes dedicated to them and then even MORE screentime later

the ep where theyre stranded in space? was the perfect opportunity for everyone to talk things out and nothing fucking happened. they just floated around and snapped at each other until Keith was like “we forgot that we’re friends :)” and then everything was magically fixed

Iverson was such a dick to them in the past and then everyone just like, forgives him??? James or whatever the fuck that kid’s name is was such a jerk too and there’s no mention from anybody about how he acted???? Everyone just glosses over that???

killing off one of the only two confirmed lgbt characters for shock value, and on top of that, not even giving Shiro any significant screentime to mourn him. they had to confirm that Adam and Shiro were the lgbt rep off-screen because they didn’t show it at all in the actual show. un fucking surprising.

setting up endgame romances that are so forced and nonsensical Im??? the romance makes SO little sense that I’m almost more amused than upset at how shitty these choices were. I cannot FUCKING believe how they decided to set this up. it is the shittiest writing choice in the world, it does both Lance and Allura so unbelieveably dirty

also a lot of ppl on twitter are saying theyre setting up Keith and Axca for a romance which I almost don’t believe because nothing about them is romantic but if this is how they’re gonna do a//urance then they may as well throw in another forced unpleasant nonsensical het endgame

Keith was so needlessly cruel and cold he didn’t seem like his old self at all. at all. who was that character because he was not Keith

continuing to treat Lance like shit for no reason oh my god everyone is always so cruel to him it’s fucking endless

and after Keith was one of the only ppl who listened and took him seriously in the previous seasons, why would they retcon that and bring them right back to their season fucking 1 dynamic. whether or not you see their relationship as platonic or romantic, Keith and Lance have developed and became good friends and really opened up to each other in season 3 and this season Keith treated him like shit for no fucking reason.

CtS Crew:

Because of the large number of members, it’s would be impossible and unfair for everyone to get presents for everyone. So they settle for two - one for their significant other and the second through the use of Secret Santa

They would open the gifts from their significant other on Christmas eve, saving the Secret Santa gifts for Christmas morning where they’ll gather in the tear room and muse about the gifts before having a hearty breakfast~

In the days following up to Christmas they walk around the city, as a group but in pairs, to look at the Christmas decorations, rugged up with scarfs and coats, arm in arm and snuggling. Yes Rahas will be dragged long, and the Cosmos guild will accompany them~

Matron/Hana would start decorating the inn on the 1st of December without delay. Christmas trees everywhere, but especially the tea room, a private one saved for just the Guardians

Mistletoe is literally hanging from every nook and cranny too

The guys taking over the kitchen for the day to make Christmas cookies

Christmas photos are a must!

Also spend Christmas Eve at the bar when Cass throws a party and then Christmas day at the inn where Matron/Hana puts on a massive lunch for them (they’re going to get sooo fat~)

Staying out past midnight to watch the fireworks display~

ALE/C Crew:

They’ll also settle for Secret Santa gifting because they have a vast number of members too. Of coure Logre, Kirjonen, Ciaran, Count, Baldur, and Wiglaf would be included~ Those in relationships will get their significant others another gift, thoughtful and small, giving at exactly midnight~

Christmas eve/night will be spent at the Count’s place where a huge Christmas party is held each year. The guild will be the honorary guests. And on the stroke of midnight, they’ll celebrate Christmas and the couples will share kisses (they repeat that tradition on New Year’s Eve too :3c)

They’ll spend Christmas day actually out in the Windy Plains, cooling off in the river and putting on a party and a massive feed where everyone mingles together like the one big family that they are. The food will be cooked on BBQs and play games like cricket or beach football and often break out into water fights :D

The Secret Santa gifts are opened before they leave for the campout in the Windy Plains

Christmas Eve the younger ones go around carolling of key because why not? They’ll drag Baldur with them this year also because why not? Zoran really likes this tradition

Make Christmas decorations/baubles with the names of everyone in their guild/family and hang them in the Christmas tree. The couples are likely to add their names together as well because they’re not sappy enough, am I right?

Cold chocolate drinks in the back garden under the shade of the trees and just talking while some decorate the trees and bushes with decorations

Walking around the city at night and admiring all the Christmas decorations. They’ll do this in a group but are likely to pair of as well. They’ll stick together though so aren’t out of each other’s sight for long. They’re likely to stay out for the majority of the night as it’s so warm and still

CtS Crew:

Lynus - Jewellery; amulets or bracelets with gemstones or natural materials. His prime purpose is always healing and enhancing a person’s natural recovery rates, so his jewellery is always helpful and useful in some way

Axel - Metal work; blacksmithing or weapon making. Anything that requires strength and a bit of fickle finessing

Jhon - Painting; landscapes with watercolours. Not something he does often but painting landscapes is something he does enjoy when he needs to clear his head or simply relax for a while

Tobyn - Drawing; Pencils, charcoal. He can draw and sketch monsters/materials from memory and he uses his skills in the monster/item codexes of which he is in charge of. He also likes to sketch people, mostly Jhon, but he keeps that secret~

Magnus - Drawing; coloured pencils. He’s really quite good at drawing and creating mandalas, a skill/habit he picked up in an attempt to be mindful and grounded

Shen - Sculpture; wood carvings. When not meditating he enjoys carving away at pieces of wood and creating small figurines. Not many people know this though and he places the small figurines in places that other people can find

Macerio - Drawing; expressive. He considers himself more of a doodler than a drawer. He draws to keep his hands busy and to take his minds off things. He doesn’t like to show anyone of what he’s drawn as some of his doodles are silly little comics staring his guildmates~

Lirit - calligraphy; inspirational quotes. Though a scribbler due to writing and creating music, he does also enjoy taking the time to elegantly write out inspirational words or quotes, using them as headings or tiles in his journals/books

Hamza - Body art; war painting or tribal tattoos. Yes, really. The ones on his arms are what he had done himself

Cedric - Flower arranging; fresh and dry flowers. He prefers fresh though as they smell more delightful

Rahas - Sculpture; ivory caring. Something to keep his hands busy and let’s face it there is a lot of monster bones prime for sculpting or creating charms. Again, much like Shen, no one knows of his habit which he only really picked up since moving to Lagaard and he just leaves the charms/trinkets on the ground when he’s done, which is a shame

Simmons - Flower arranging; flower crowns. Yes, really~ (Cedric does not know this but would be ecstatic to learn of it)

Shiki - Wood work; furniture and houses. He can design a house/cabin from the top of his head without prompting and can build furniture with a few pieces of wood. He was quite the builder when he was younger

Gerald - Mosaic Art; recycling old broken ceramics. He hasn’t done so in years though but since Shiki is back he might get back into it also

Ryker - Drawing and painting; sketching and miniature art. Drawing is more because of his survivalist skills, but he does enjoy perching himself in a tree and using oil base paints to paint miniature landscapes on rocks and bark from trees

Darrell - Painting; watercolours. More an expression, relief kind of thing where he literally throws paints at an empty canvas

ALE/C Crew:

Varuna - Drawing; sketching with pencils and charcoal. Because of his skills as a researcher, he takes the time to sketch out the materials/objects of his research

Bryce - Not really the creative/artistic type. He’s more of a practical builder than anything else. If it’s useful and practical for others, than he’ll build it

Nitish - Tapestry Art; flower embroidery. Only recently got into it, inspired by the labyrinths and the flowers he has grown or seen in the four lands and the mazes in-between

Achyuta - Paper art; Origami. He picked up the hobby when he fell ill but wanted to do something to pass the time

Roxbury - Drawing; pencils. He prefers to work on black paper/canvas and use white pencils or chalk. It’s a bit symbolic to him as even in the darkest, blackest of times, beauty and light can still shine through

Zesiro - Never had the time nor interest in hobbies, even now. But he’s finding himself becoming bored, too, so Roxy has been encouraging him to find something constructive. Metal work does seem somewhat interesting to him

Isiah - Not overly creative. He prefers straight forward and practical work. Bryce has made the comment that his writing looks like an art form, which kinda pisses him off as there’s nothing wrong with it and he can read it just fine :D

Kalan - That’s a bit of a cruel question, but pottery or sculpting is something he can do without needing to have sight

Falkner - Drawing and sculpting; sketching and wood carving. Sketching people or objects to keep his mind busy and wood carving to keep his hand busy

Mahalah - Dancing; expressive. He is naturally a creative person, but his true passion and creativity shows in his dancing

Blayden - Like his brother, he’s not overly creative, though he is developing an interest in weapon crafting and metal work

Fletcher - Mosaic Art; stone art. He likes picking up small, natural stones and arranging them in mandala shape arts. He doesn’t have anything in mind when he starts a project as he prefers making it up as his goes

Miach - His creativity goes as far as playing the banjo. Other than that, he’s rather uncreative

Zoran - Jewellery; charms and amulets. Prefers working with natural materials, though he doesn’t necessarily mind what those materials are. The charms and amulets he creates are significant to the vessel culture and have special meanings. They are very beautiful and he loves making them for others

Biast - Sculpting; Ice sculpting. Yes, believe it or not. As a native of the Sacred Mountains, he has a lot of ice to work with. He also enjoys the symbolism of ice and how it shifts and changes with its surroundings, standing strong in the bitterest of colds and melting away when the temperature increases

Telem - Sculpting; wood caring. He prefers creating small figurines, something to keep his hands busy, especially when he’s observing. He is very good with the use of knives after all

Durriken - Doesn’t have an artistic hobby because he couldn’t afford to let his guard down. But he has always been interested in stained/colour glass and would one day like to be able to pick that up as a hobby
