AARON: My gifts are awesome, Kurt, thanks.

AARON: And I’m not letting some psychopath treat me like a human dog slave, my gift from Derek was no longer being his bitch. I’m a regular Ghoulie again.

KURT: Of course, Aaron. I know how talented you are, and I want nothing more than to see you succeed.

KURT: That makes me happy at least. I might not like the Ghoulies, but I'm glad he's not treating you like an animal. Thank him for me because I'm definitely not talking to him.

gifts for aaron hummel

Delivered Christmas morning 

Aaron,

I still don't agree with your decision to go back to the Ghoulies, but if that's where you feel at home then I guess I can't fault you for going back. I still don't think it's right that you should be letting that psychopath treat you like some sort of human dog slave, but I miss talking to you.

In any event, hopefully these gifts can help you get through the harder times that I'm sure are certain to come in your future. I know you don't talk about it much anymore, but I remember how much you wanted to be a film maker when you were younger. I know you've never been a major fan of school, but I figure these might interest you a little? They have classes taught by directors like Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, Werner Herzog, and Ron Howard. Plus there are tons of other classes you can take if I'm just completely off base; like there's even a Masterclass from Gordon Ramsay; I'm not 100% sure how it works (if you can take more than one class with the all-access pass), but even if it's only one class I figure you can learn a lot from professional directors like that.

The mug...well, that should be self-explained, right? I saw it and instantly thought of you, ha.

The third gift is a photobag for that camera Quinn gave you on your birthday, and it should also fit your laptop if you need both. It has room for eight additional lenses or other stuff as you get it. I figured it could be helpful and maybe help get you off your feet if you ever do decide to make a career out of your talent.

Merry Christmas, baby brother.

Love, Kurt

TEXT || QUINN & KURT

[ IN THE MORNING ]

QUINN: Happy New Year, Kurt.

QUINN: So far I've managed to fall asleep early, snooze through the fireworks, and it smells like someone is cooking breakfast. So far so good.

QUINN: Just missing my b| [DELETED]

QUINN: How was your night?

KURT: It was pretty quiet to be honest. I’ve gotten used to New Years in Times Square, so it was an adjustment ha.

KURT: Wanted to kiss King at New Years, but he’s been a little distant lately. I’m pretty sure it has to do with his father, but...don’t really know if it’s my place to ask. And I can’t even talk to anyone about it without outing him so that’s fun. [ DELETED ]

KURT: I spent most of the night with dad at the station unless some call came out.

KURT: It’s okay that you slept through it all though. You need rest after everything you’ve been through. I’m sorry I haven’t reached out. I wanted to give you space.

KURT: How are you holding up?

[hummelinthenorth]

text message // kurt && hunter

KURT: Hey!

KURT: So...this is awkward to ask, but is everything okay with Quinn?

KURT: She seems off. She doesn't sound like herself, and I'm mildly worried she hit her head somehow or something. She's spouting a lot of the stuff I used to hear her mother say whenever she thought I wasn't close enough to hear her. And she's treating/talking about Aaron like he's even worse than the scum of the Earth.

[hummelinthenorth]

text messages // kurt && aaron

AARON: None of it makes any sense to me.

AARON: At least she’s consistent.

AARON: My original thought was that she was just tired of me and hated me all of a sudden but since she’s being a bitch to you, brainwashing works.

KURT: Somehow...I don't think Quinn could ever hate you. I don't know what the hell is going on, but...she doesn't sound like herself. She's spouting a lot of the same shit her mother used to spout at me.

[hummelinthenorth]

text messages // kurt && aaron

AARON: I’m 99% sure her boyfriend has sucked Sebastian’s dick or vice versa, so that’s interesting.

AARON: She called me Southside trash and brought up mom and saying how she and Burt wasted money and time on me and that it’s a good thing she’s not alive now to see me be the way I am, harsh shit.

AARON: Brainwashed would make more sense than what I was going with.

KURT: That's my point exactly. She's in a relationship with two other men. /Surely/ the men have gotten each other off. Surely they've fucked each other. Made love. Whatever. The point is I'm sure one dick has been inside the other's ass. And maybe vice versa, but neither of them strike me as a bottom so I don't know. Either way, I don't understand where all this sudden homophobia bullshit is coming from.

KURT: She said basically the same thing to me about you, but she DIDN'T have the gall to say that it's a good thing mom isn't alive. I will slap the shit out of her, I don't care who she is. She's one of my closest friends. That just gives me even more reason to think she's not herself.

KURT: What were you going with? And please don't say 'pod people'.

[hummelinthenorth]

TEXT || KURT & "QUINN"

QUINN: Fashion design and musical theater? How so terribly typical. I'm pretty sure that's par for the course with you people.

QUINN: Your "brother" decided to sell his soul to the devil and run with gang members. He should thank his lucky stars that he's even still alive. I do know that I have let him stay in my parent's home which was a terrible mistake on my part, one I hardly have any intention of repeating.

QUINN: What in the world has my mother ever done to warrant such hatred? She has always worked hard to ensure I get everything that I deserve. Perhaps I'm simply feeling better and seeing things more clearly than I have in the past.

KURT: I love how you casually glossed over the fact that I was accepted into Ivy League schools like it was nothing, but whatever.

KURT: You know plenty of people in the political world are gay, right? There are at least /four/ openly gay or bisexual members of Congress, one of which is the first openly LGBT person to win a second term in the Senate, and there are plenty of other public figures who are out. Even most churches are starting to be accepting of the LGBTQ community. I don't understand the suddenly disdain, but it's not like I've never faced it before.

KURT: He hasn't sold his soul to the devil just because he's running with the Ghoulies. Do I think it's a dangerous and stupid decision? Of course I do. But he is also his own man. And his alliances don't make him any less my family.

KURT: What has she ever done? Beyond not letting you live your own life? Beyond being an overbearing nightmare? Allowing and pushing you to get a nose job at 13? Having a nutritionist follow you around and not let you eat anything? Not letting you enjoy the simple pleasures in life? God forbid you possibly gain a pound or two that she doesn't approve of. Beyond showing no interest in you or your life unless it benefited her in some way? Expressing nothing but disappointment in you when you actually /do/ choose to do what /you/ want instead of what she wants?

KURT: I think you've seen your life pretty clearly as of late. There's nothing wrong with living for /yourself/ instead of for her. She's lived her life. It's not /your/ fault she chooses to drown herself in alcohol and plastic surgery to distract herself from her failure of a marriage.

[hummelinthenorth]

text messages // kurt && aaron

AARON: Yeah, I texted her about the Christmas dinner she invited me to and she was a bitch to me so I wanted to see if it really was a Me Problem or if she was just being rude to everyone.

KURT: I can't speak for everyone, but she's being exceptionally rude. And suddenly she can't approve of having me in her house, "touching her things", because I suck dick. Suddenly she has a problem with my "lifestyle".

KURT: Honestly, I feel like she's been brainwashed or some shit.

[hummelinthenorth]

TEXT: Hey, have you talked to to Quinn recently?

Here.

[hummelinthenorth]

text messages // kurt && aaron

AARON: Hey, have you talked to to Quinn recently?

KURT: I have. Or at least I think I have. She's acting really weird.

[hummelinthenorth]

TEXT || KURT & "QUINN"

QUINN: A bachelor's degree? In what musical theater? Oh, i'm sure your parents must be so proud. Well, parent.

QUINN: Surely you know who I'm speaking of when I say stain on society. Unless you're telling me that your parents made the horrible decision to waste their time on another parent-less bastard they had the good sense not to tell the world about.

QUINN: If I must be blunt, I'm speaking of your obvious affliction towards the sexually perverse. That sinful decision you make that will send you straight to hell, that one true flaw that both embarrassed and humiliated your poor father. Surely you know what I'm speaking of now. I heard YOUR TYPES claim to be smart.

QUINN: If you truly think I want you infecting my home with your sin, then you must be out of your mind.

KURT: Considering I got into one of the best schools in New York as well as into a program that only accepts 2-4 new students across the country every year, yes my father is incredibly proud of me. As would have my mother have been. And, not that I should have to prove myself or my capabilities to anyone, I was also accepted into four different Ivy League universities and the top fashion institute in the United States, but I chose to enroll at NYADA to further the career /I/ wanted.

KURT: What is this sudden turn on Aaron? You let him stay with you when that psychopath was trying to kill him. You tried to convince him not to leave. You have worked very hard to help him, and you know how grateful I am for that.

KURT: I feel like I am talking to an entirely different person right now. Honestly, you sound exactly like your mother, and I know for a fact she is the last person you ever want to sound or act like. You've said as much. Multiple times. Are you feeling okay? Did you hit your head or something?

[hummelinthenorth]

TEXT || KURT & "QUINN"

QUINN: It's Quinn, dear. Quinn. It's one syllable. Easy for even the most unintelligible of the world and certainly simple enough for you to remember. Not Q. Quinn.

QUINN: Kurt. Well, at least you're a small step up from the contact I received from your stain on society adopted brother. But unfortunately, I have decided that I will not be spending my holidays spoon feeding food to the poor and underprivileged.

QUINN: And I hardly find it appropriate to have someone such as yourself in my kitchen, at my table, touching my things.

KURT: /You/ told me to call you Q, not Quinn, but that's fine. I can call you Quinn. I feel like that was some sort of stab at my education, but I have a Bachelors degree so I can assure you I am far from uneducated.

KURT: My /what/?

KURT: Someone such as myself? How about we stop playing games, Quinn? That's far below you. Why don't you just come out and say whatever is on your mind. You've never had an issue with me before, so what have I done to warrant such disdain?

KURT: Especially when you've been nothing but kind of supportive of me in the past.

KURT: What the FUCK is going on right now? I feel like I'm on god damned PUNK'd or some shit. [ DELETED ]

In other news, reading the reviews for Cats has become my new favorite pastime:

starshineblaine‌:

Well, things are looking up! I’ve got a new job, with benefits, and… I get to keep my clothes on. Not saying I didn’t enjoy stripping, because it was kind of fun, and the dancing was great cardio, but … it’s honestly not for me.

Talk about a good start to the week. Plus, I get to sing Christmas songs and decorate all week, and get paid for it. Hope everyone else’s week is going well! 

I do apologize for never being able to come see you dance, but I could *not* chance seeing my brother like that as well. I'm sure you were a great dancer, though. Even if it's not for you, at least you had fun doing it. That's one thing I do miss about stripping, myself. That and the attention, but that’s a different story.

I heard through the grapevine, the vine being my father obviously, that you found a job at the Mayor's office? Congratulations, B. Does Mayor Jones have you decorating her office for the holidays? I'm guessing that's why you're being paid to sing Christmas songs and decorate?

[hummelinthenorth]

Hey Serpents.. I’m a little confused. Which honestly, I shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth or whatever but I just went to the office to pay rent ( yeah, I know it’s late, don’t judge ) and I was told that my rent was paid for next month? I asked about it and the chick said something about getting an anonymous donation to pay everyone’s rent for the month of January. At least everyone who lives in the trailer park. Am I just cracked or is this shit legit? And who the fuck? 

@sshardassanderson​ @serpentchar​ @serpentevans​ @serpenthart​ @mdxwg​ @waywardxson​ @serpentlynn​ @theoneandonlygilbert​ 

I wish I could take credit for such a generous act, but even with my savings for future rent payments in New York I wouldn't have enough to cover everyone in Sunnyside. That was really kind of whoever did it, though. I'm going to venture a guess that it was probably someone from the North Side who was feeling fairly charitable during the holiday season? As long as the payments have truly cleared, then I would probably do my best not to worry about it; then again, I know if someone had paid my rent in New York this close to the holidays I probably would have started crying, lol.
