I know I have this reputation for being someone who enjoys the suffering of readers too much etc but nothing I’ve ever done is as violent as @maladyofthequotidian telling me that Lilith “wants that desiccated tomb dick”

COMPLIMENT ME NOW
i mean. okay. you're like FINE i guess. you introduced me to my wife which is like FINE. you gave a speech at my wedding and it was FINE. you came on vacation with us and bummed around on the couch and talked to me about beer even though you hate it and that's FINE. you're FINE and i have ABSOLUTELY NO OPINIONS OTHERWISE AT ALL.
anyways. what would my life be without you? you were one of the reasons i stayed sane in los angeles, even when i had to stop you and your roommates from exploding your fridge by putting it sideways into a panel van to move it. you helped me find an apartment and roommate when i moved to new york. you helped me find my wife. you make me dumplings when you visit. you're magnificent and if you ever leave me i will die of heartbreak.
RWBY Secret Santa 2019 - Masterpost
This year, myself and five others did a Secret Santa fic/art exchange for RWBY! Since we posted during a pretty busy holiday week (and also posted 6 things at once), I figured I’d compile everything into one post, just so that all this RWBY goodness wasn’t missed by anyone:
Fics:
the simple math of family by @perpetuallyfive - gen with background ships, Branwen Twins focused, canon compliant
There are many different ways of living, all over Remnant. The one constant for the Branwen twins has always been family.
twenty years asleep in a state of grace (come together til we find a way home) by @fiddleabout - Blake/Yang, Tomb Raider AU!
“I’m not babysitting you.” Weiss folds her arms over her chest and juts her chin out. She’s not wearing heels, for the first time that Yang can remember in years, and she’s so small. She stopped growing less than a year after they disappeared and Yang had a growth spurt two years later, but Weiss has been the same height the whole time, as if her body gave up on moving forward after they were gone, and it hurts sometimes to remember how caught in the past they both are sometimes, in their own ways. “I don’t know how many more ways to say it, Yang. You’re not the only one who lost them.”
roads that lead you home by @thecousinsdangereux (me! apparently you can tag yourself) - Weiss POV with background Blake/Yang, canon compliant
Snapshots of Weiss Schnee (age seventeen to twenty-nine) and her evolving definition of family, as shown through the meals she shares with the people she loves.
Ready, Get Set, Bake! by @maladyofthequotidian - Blake/Yang, Great British Bake Off AU!, Rated E
Yang's probably not the first person who's ever developed a crush on a fellow baker. Probably.
(made you) smile and look away by @mermaidandthedrunks - Blake/Yang, fake dating!, soulmates!, canon compliant through Vol. 6
“So let me get this straight.” Qrow assesses the room. “You two,” he points to Blake and Yang, “will pretend to be a couple in the hopes of finding out what happened to your other friends who went in there pretending to be a couple. You two,” he points to Ruby and Jaune, “will infiltrate this establishment as the help.” Ruby and Jaune nod comically. “And you,” he looks at Weiss, “will go as an ambassador for a Dust company and aid with back-up.”
He looks around the room, and everyone nods. “Well, okay then."
Art:
Gideon the Ninth AU and other unused concepts by @smallandsundry - Weiss and Yang as Harrow and Gideon!

I enjoy Merry Shannon's books, but they're all genre -- either fantasy or historical. There's also Poppy Jenkins by Clare Ashton, which is very fluffy.

Georgia Beers is good!
@rhymesofblau If you didn’t see this - some recs!
You're giving me Adam and Ronan feels all over again!!!!!
PROBABLY WE SHOULD DISCUSS SAID FEELS!!!!! Don’t leave me in a strange new fandom alone.
@maladyofthequotidian and @sp00kylibrarian, here are the Schuyler sister cakes I made for my birthday! I’m the furthest thing from a pro, so I’m just proud that I managed to pull this off at all.
The flavours:
Angelicaaa = orange velvet cake + lime curd filling
Eliiiza = blue ombré vanilla cake + pink vanilla buttercream frosting (all three cakes were actually made to be ombré, but you only really see it in Eliza)
and Peggy = lemon cake + raspberry lemon curd filling
There are things I would tweak and improve if I had better skills and/or a bigger budget for this silly little project, but the people I served the cakes to really liked them, and overall I’m satisfied (no pun intended).

A (late-breaking) Secret Santa gift for @maladyofthequotidian, who didn’t ask for much but is being delivered this behemoth of shame instead. I love you, so please forgive me.
