Empress Headcanons But Winter/Christmas
If They Celebrated It Together Rather Than Returning Home To Celebrate With Their Families...
They don't celebrate Christmas religiously (obviously) but they do give each other gifts and do other festive things
Of course they are all broke as fuck but they try their best when it comes to getting gifts for one another
Tomas tries to gift them useful things like (for BĂ„rdelia) a hoodie of BĂ„rdelia's favorite band and (for Vegjerd) a book that Vegjerd has mentioned in passing
BĂ„rdelia is bad at getting gifts so the fact that she gets gifts for them in general means a lot, she'd probably just get strings and picks for their bass and guitar
Now Vegjerd would spend weeks prior trying to decide the perfect things to get them, mysteriously disappearing to "run errands" when she's really going gift shopping... her "gift shopping" is going to multiple stores only to not get anything because nothing is good enough for her girls
It's a good thing she begins this process weeks before because she ends up making her own gifts for them anyway...
For Tomas, a personalized cassette tape of the songs they used to listen to when they first got into black metal and for BĂ„rdelia, a (personally made) knitted blanket like the one BĂ„rdelia described having as a child
Tomas gets surprisingly sentimental about her first Christmas spent with Vegjerd... they've been close for so long so it only makes sense
They all hate Christmas music so much, so instead they play their usual symphonic/black metal along with Vegjerd's seasonal addition of jazz
During the holiday season Vegjerd buys peppermint tea for herself, candy canes for BĂ„rdelia, and hot cocoa for Tomas
Tomas is finishes it all within a few days... she's seriously crazy about hot cocoa but she's not as crazy as BĂ„rdelia is with her candy canes
Candy canes are basically the only thing BĂ„rdelia eats during this season
The girls threaten to suffocate her with a pillow every time she interrupts the peace and quiet with her loud crunching
Tomas put a mistletoe up purely to have another excuse to make out with them
She would purposely stand under the mistletoe so much that Vegjerd made a rule that the Mistletoe tradition only applies if BĂ„rdelia or Vegjerd are standing under it so that way Tomas isn't charging at them every 5 minutes
Whenever they are outside in the snow, Tomas will chuck snowballs at the girls, BĂ„rdelia loves the snow and so she'll join in but she knows better than to throw snow at Vegjerd...
Tomas, however, doesn't know better and will throw them at Vegjerd anyway, Vegjerd gets really pissed off and will shove Tomas into the snow when she least expects it
One time BĂ„rdelia accidentally missed Tomas and hit Vegjerd right in the face, next time BĂ„rdelia was unfortunate enough to stand near Vegjerd she ended up violently shoved face down in the snow
Regardless if it's Christmas or not, Vegjerd is always up very early
But on this special morning, she puts on jazz for ambience, makes breakfast along with each of the girls' favorite drinks, and sets out their gifts as they drag themselves into the kitchen
