I HallowClaus-ed the new couple meme. Coal has his priorities sorted right.

— Hex is really into researching disasters both manmade and natural. anything from the joplin tornadoes to the sampoong department mall.

— Coal is really into listening to Hex talk about said disasters. Podcast while he folds laundry? no. “hey, babe, what was that storm documentary you were watching?”

— Kris has a spreadsheet for anything.

— I already posted this one but I’ll say it again. Kris is allergic to cats & Coal DESPERATELY wants a cat.

— Loch & Coal have an elaborate prank war. I’m talking month long con level prank war.

— One time Iris wore a baby blue dress to something & Coal was very dramatic about it and pretended he had no idea who she was for like a solid thirty minutes.

— Loch & Hex’s text history is exclusively links to music or weird video essays.

— Loch has a minimum of 5000 liked songs on whatever streaming platform he uses. He also has an absurdly large CD collection & refuses to get a new car because newer models don’t have CD players.

— Hex is Carpenter and has been a Carpenter since Eyes Wide Open. He’s taking this to his GRAVE.

— Kris is left-handed. He told me himself.

— Hex & Kris hate-read books they know they will both loathe JUST to bitch about them to each other. Coal calls this their enrichment time.

— The Hallows are a board game family. Coal is deeply confused when he discovers this. He quickly gets crash coursed in the art of family game night. He is a menace in Ticket to Ride.

— Loch has made a fun game of seeing how dirty his jokes can get before one of the Claus brothers shut him down. It’s an even split on which one stops him first.

— There is a running tally of who’s gotten Hex to curse the most. Kris is in the lead.

— Kris and Iris were Warrior Cats kids.

— Coal was more nervous about meeting Hex’s siblings than his parents.

— Kris learned everything he knows about spreadsheets from Coal. Coal is ALSO a big spreadsheets guy.

— Hex went to Dashcon 2. I saw him there. Trust me on this. Coal was with him but Coal has no idea what Dashcon is.

— When Kris gets overstimulated Loch tells him to go lay under his weighted blanket for ten minutes. Kris will always grumble & then always be even more annoyed when it works.

The brainrot is real apparently lamaooo.

Finished rereading the book for the second time last night.

Inspired by the One Ghostie that appears in existence towards the end lol.

It’s his day!! HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO MY FAVORITE CHAOTIC LEO BISEXUAL, COAL CLAUS!!! I hope your day was as fun and amazing as you are and I hope you and Hex are cuddled up somewhere and so happy! To celebrate, I made fun Christmas pancakes! I even made the tree green (I used food coloring and not spinach 😉)

I even put on his favorite horror show and the movie Hex watched because of him

Happy birthday King (of Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻🎁) ! I can’t wait to read more about your life with Hex and being the best Santa in Joyfully Ever After!!

And a little spicy birthday headcanon! 😉

I like to think that Hex planned a fun day for Coal’s birthday with all their friends and loved ones and then for dinner, he gave Renee and all of the staff the night off and made Coal a wonderful dinner. He told him to wear the blue suit with the gold and green filigree from the fake marriage welcome party for Halloween where they re-met (when Coal asks why, Hex just says he likes that suit on him). After dinner, they’re talking together lovingly, lazily playing a little footsie, when Hex stand and tells Coal that he’s going upstairs and Coal can come up to their room in 15 minutes. Coal is confused but says okay and puts a timer on his phone. At the end of the 15 minutes, he heads up to their room and opens the door to find Hex on the bed, his hands bound behind him with a silk rope. He’s also wearing his outfit from the welcome party, the blood red silky shirt under the tight satin black corset vest that broke Coals brain (he also refreshed his eyeliner and pulled his hair back into the half up, half down hairstyle he had at the party as well). There’s also a million candles in the room, giving the only light and casting shadows everywhere that almost appear to be moving (Coal is sure Hex is controlling their movement and intensity).

“Hex, what’s going on?” Coal says, his heartbeat rising.

“I know we’ve been together for a while and I seem to recall you said that on the night that we met again, you said seeing me again was the biggest shock and my look and outfit gave you all kinds of fantasies and leather and vampires, and pirates, but my bad attitude that night made you want to ‘punish me,’ and such, so, I wanted to recreate that night for you so you can indulge in those fantasies. So……,” the candles flicked down to they were almost all the way out and the room went dark before the flames came back and threw the room into their warm glow with the undulating shadows again, “Christmas Prince,” Hex says with a steely, challenging look in his eyes and a slight sneer,” Now that you have me alone in your room, what are you going to do to me?”

I want someone to draw this (I still do! 👀) and I can’t draw but I have free will and an image super impose app so, say less, Sara, and here you go, Holigays squad. (P.S: they’re taking their first trip as a couple together and are not using teleportation magic because Hex wanted them to travel like a regular couple and have the ‘airport experience,’ where are they going? You decide!)

Iris: So, who broke the coffee machine? I’m not mad. I just wanna know.

Kris: I did. I broke it. Iris-

Iris: No. No, you didn’t. Coal?

Coal: Don’t look at me. Look at Loch!

Loch: What?! I didn’t break it.

Coal: Huh. That’s weird. How'd you even know it was broken?

Loch: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken!

Coal: Suspicious.

Loch: No, it’s not!

Finn: If it matters, probably not… Hex was the last one to use it.

Hex: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap!

Finn: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Hex: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles! Everyone knows that!

Kris: All right, let’s not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it, Iris.

Iris: No. Who broke it?

Loch: Siobhán’s been awfully quiet…

Siobhán: Really, Lochy?!

Loch: Yeah, really!

Iris: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now, they’ll be at each other’s throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.
