Valerie Manchester, Ray Manchester's daughter AKA Swellviews only superhero, Captain Man. That is until Ray hires Henry Hart. A young teenage boy. ... (This story takes place in the Henry Danger universe, created by Dan Schneider. I do not own Henry Danger. Valerie is my character though, along with Jessica.) Warnings- cursing, idk what other shit but yeah.
in the new one on D+, it says (idk if this is everywhere so don’t mind me being stupid)
”your a forbidden child. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades made a pact not to have anymore kids, etc. etc.”
Thalia is Zeus’ kid.
Percy is Poseidon’s
whose is Hades?
I mean- in the books we have whatever their names are. Nico (I thinkkkkkk) and Bianca. But are they a forbidden child? I don’t think so. I need answers.
(I haven’t read the books but I’m getting to that so hold ur horses.)
I have an idea for a book but I need to fact check.
i have hot cocoa and horror movies for anyone who wants to stay up a little late :D
@vexic929 @dick-faulkner @forbiddenpondrocks @clowningaroundmars @ghostmishu2505 @pleasantcrusadetragedy @necromancer-snail @icecreambrownies + of course all my other beloved moots and followers <2
A/n: HAPPY HOLIDAYS, PEEPS. I’m so exciteddddd. Eeeee! Niffty is the only one who is platonic cuz my girl would just be bffs with u, Nothin more. Enjoy ig.
*If you wanna request a Christmas story just send me a request. :3*
Alastor:
Alastor is gonna be the person who waits for no man to put up decorations.
Alastor would be the person to have everything sorted in boxes in their own spot until the time to use them comes.
He would have all the more elegant side of Christmas. More refined; less jokey.
Like for him, NO funny signs.
he would have mistletoe but avoid it at ALL COSTS
He would be the one to take the garland from you cuz he’s tall af and your itty bitty compared to him.
In the end he would probably make jambalaya and look over the work you did, as you sit next to him semi-cuddling.
Angel Dust:
Angel would get back at three in the morning after a shift with Valentino and you would be standing in his room at the hotel, holding some garland and begging him to decorate.
In the end, he would give in and grab a box from you.
His Christmas decorations are either a HUGE mess, or haven’t even been opened because he never thought of decorating.
I imagine Angel as the, “Let’s put up funny Christmas signs and enjoy the funny side of Christmas!”
The OPPOSITE of Alastor.
He would help you put up Christmas lights cuz he’s also tall.
In the end you would cuddle next to the hotel fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate
Husk-
Oh man, Husk would be the guy to totally forget Christmas all together because he’s to busy with his alcohol.
But he would do anything for his lover. Even if it meant putting down his beloved booze.
He grumbles at first but enjoys the time with you immensely.
Since he’s not as tall as a FRICKING SKYSCRAPER, he would have to get a ladder for a few of the decorations.
Husk doesn’t really have a style, he just goes with whatever you want. Happy lover, happy life.
He would tell you about the times in his earthly life when they celebrated Christmas, and you would tell yours.
Afterwards, You guys would chat at the bar. And he would say how happy he was to spend that time with you.
Niffty-
oh Niffty is all over the holidays.
instead of you asking her, Sh would ask you after cleaning the hotel top to bottom. Twice.
You accept and she scurries off to get the thousands of Holliday decorations she owns.
Niffty is serious about Christmas decorations yall.
She would run around, taking this decoration and that and hanging it up faster then you can say “all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” You even wonder why she asked you.
You helped. Barely
She doesn’t really have a theme. Maybe more old times decorations while listening to old covers of Christmas songs?
after decorating, Niffty would bring out some Christmas cookies and she would put on a cockroach puppet show for you. ✨Christmas edition✨
Vaggie-
Oh Vaggie. She would be paranoid with all of the free gifts and good attitudes, but when you begged her to put down her spear for a second so you could get some help decorating; she gave in.
She would be the one to take every precaution to put everything up right. She’s a by-the-book kinda girl.
She would insist on all the harder work while letting you hang garland and such.
Vaggie doesn’t really have a style. She was a Angel. They did celebrate Christmas but she was too busy getting ready for next extermination.
She lets you take the reins on where everything should go. She’s not gonna interfere
Afterwards, Vaggie looks at the decorations and for once doesn’t worry about all the dangers.
Charlie-
She would be over the moon the second you mention Christmas.
one day, you walk in to see LOADS of boxes.
Charlie explains They’re Christmas decorations and asks for your help.
You say yes and she freaks. Squealing and everything. She runs around and puts decorations up.
She is definitely the colorful and poppy side of Christmas.
She would have the hotel covered in glitter if she could, but alas, you have to pace yourself.
She would put on a classic Christmas movie after and you two would watch, enjoying the decorations you put up.
Hello . I am Ahmed Nasser from the Gaza Strip. My house and our factory were destroyed. And our jeep. We have been displaced from our place more than seven times. We are now without shelter, without income, and without any means of transportation. Some members of my family were killed and others were injured. What made me create a campaign to collect donations for my family, which suffers from the scourge of war, displacement, and hunger. I hope you can donate, and if you can't, share my campaign and invite your friends to donate to my family 💔 You are our only hope.
I have terminal cancer and I might not even make it until Christmas this year. I was wondering if everyone could write a positive message, either on anon or not and I’m going to put them on my wall (with my sisters help) for when I’m sad. I’m obsessed with Taylor Swift, Disney, Animal Crossing, reading, writing, Squishmallow collecting. Please reblog to spread the word ❤️
