Yay! The day has arrived for these to be gifted: SVTFOE Christmas Greeting Cards
🌟 To my giftee: @deijnar
Hi! :D I had so much fun making your gift and I agree: side characters are awesome! They bring so much joy, humor and charm to the show, what would we do without them?? Sometimes, they can be so wise as to teach us something new, other times their quirks gives us tumbles and laughter, despite limited screen time. So yes, they deserve more appreciation. Hence, here are some card edits that feature our classic side characters and my favorite lines from each person.
I hope you like them ♡
- Winteresa, your secret santa
•▪Introductions ▪•
Surely, we can all agree Janna Banana is awesome.
And Jackie, oh gosh. I admire her chill, mature and cool personality so much.
Thirdly, we’ve got our infamous Ponyhead. The crazy but loyal one.
And next, I managed to snag a favorite scene of mine from Stump day that features this fanatic. Starfan13, you’re the best 2nd Star I’ve ever seen.
Lastly, we have Kelly! Who I was unable to quote my favorite line from her (from the Soulrise episode) because it’s too long and too wise for a greeting card. BUT I COULDN’T STAND LEAVING HER OUT.
So here you go! The one that stands out.
Oh, I also wanted to conclude everything with a Star greeting card I made as an extra. Just because, you know, it’s her favourite holiday. (Kinda) 🎄❤
That’s all!
An early Merry Christmas, everyone! Cheers to all! 🎉🎄
And a huge thanks to the organizers of this event ^^
Also for @askladarmin haha you thought the comic was it? No. I also wrote you three lil’ fanfics. There’s some starco and tomco. I hope you like these too!!!
Once Upon a December
“Come on.”
“No.”
“COME ON, MARCO.”
“I AM NOT ABOUT TO RISK MY LIFE LIKE THIS.”
Star and Marco were at an ice skating rink on this cold December evening. They decided to pay Earth a visit, and while they were there Star noticed a poster for an outdoor ice rink in a city not too far from Echo Creek. Neither of them have ever skated but Marco didn’t ever want to. When he was younger he saw someone get their fingers broken by someone who accidentally skated over them and swore to himself to never skate and risk getting his fingers broken, but now here was Star telling him to face his fear.
“YOU’RE GONNA BE FINE. Just make sure that if you fall you make a fist like this!” she made a fist, “That way no one can chop off your fingers!”
“But what if I don’t make the fist in time?! AND I LOSE MY HAND FOREVER?!?!?”
“Dude, you’re broken your hand before in karate. I don’t think fingers would be any different.”
“THAT WAS DIFFERENT! Ohh I can still remember the sound…” Although he was young at the time, Marco still remembers the sound of that poor skater’s fingers breaking. Sometimes at night he can hear the cracking sound echo in the depths of his memories.
“UGH. If I get you some gloves will you get on the ice with me?”
“F-fine. If it’ll get you to stop bugging me about it.” Star came back later with some thicc gloves.
“There! Now will you join me?”
“O-ok.” he said reluctantly.
The ice was a lot more slippery than either of them could have imagined.
“M-marco I don’t think this was such a good idea.” said Star.
“OH NO, NO, NO. You got me into this, so now we finish thiIIII---!” Marco crashed into Star and they both fell down.
“It’s easier if you hold hands with someone!” shouted someone outside the rink.
“You wanna try it?” asked Star.
“Yeah. Anything to save my fingers.” .
They held hands. Very tightly. After a few minutes, Star got the hang of walking. Marco was barely moving at all. He was just letting Star pull him forward. Star went faster and faster as they progressed.
“Hey, could you maybe slow down?” asked the frightened Diaz.
“I don’t know. Could you maybe MOVE YOUR FEET?” she noticed he wasn’t moving. She saw through his lies. She can see through your lies too, askladarmin.
“Look, maybe if I let go--”
“DON’T YOU DARE LET ME GO!”
“I’m sorry-it’s for your own good.” Star pried his hand of hers and pushed him away. Marco was very scared and felt his life flashing before his eyes. This is it. This is where it ends, he thought. Luckily, it didn’t end here.
“Just try to to stand.” said Star. After a few minutes he was able to stand still without falling.
“There you go! Now that wasn’t so hard was it?”
Marco glared back in response.
“Now what do I do?” he asked bitterly.
“Now march. Like this!” and so he marched. He was getting the hang of it.
“And now, SKATE!” she glided all the way to the other side of rink. She was using magic, of course, to propel herself.
“WHAT?! You know what, I’m just gonna get off. This is too much.”
“NO YOU AREN’T!!!!!” Star ran and jumped on Marco, causing them both to fall.
“What are you doing?!” he asked
“HELPING YOU ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS. GET UP.”
With a lot of trouble, he managed to stand up again.
“Skate slide help him glide!” She did a spell that added tiny rockets to his skates and he went zoomed forward until he crashed into the wall on the other side.
W-whyy..?” he asked himself weakly.
“OH MY GOD I’M SO SORRY!!!” Star exclaimed.
“Can I please, just LEAVE?” she undid the spell.
“Lets just hold hands again.”she suggested.
“What? But I don--”
“I’m serious. Come on. We’ll go slow. Just hold my hand and let yourself glide.” he was too tired argue. He managed enough strength to hold on tight to her.
He did what she said and just let himself glide with her, taking occasional steps. The sun had set and the stars were appearing. The lights were also turning on. At first they glowed a soft ocean blue that shined throughout the rink and reflected off the ice. The music also slowed down. They didn’t talk but they did get a little closer, while gently holding each other’s hand. Marco wasn’t as scared of falling anymore. It was becoming a sort of dream. He started to actually skate now. The lights changed color constantly. From pure white to a hazy purple and into a blood moon ball red. When it turned purple again, the song changed. This time it was Once Upon a December. Now it really felt like a dream. They both dared to glide on only one leg. It was wobbly but it felt right. Dancing bears, painted wings. Things I almost remember. And a song, someone sings once upon a December. Star tried to skate backwards while grabbing both of Marco’s hands. They both moved together, changing feet to the beat of the song. Figures dancing gracefully, across my memory. She used her magic to make them spin a little. Their eyes were locked and both of them felt so calm. Someone holds me safe and warm, horses prance through the silver storm. They went on for the rest of the song. When it was over, they put their arms around each other as they kept skating. There weren’t many people left inside the rink. Most of them left when Star used her magic. Just as they were both about to leave Star noticed something on Marco’s hoodie. She thought it was dandruff at first but noticed that it was actually snow. They both looked up at it. They go out of the rink and climbed onto the nearest roof. They sat down together, sharing a giant fuzzy blanket and leaned on each other as they watched the snow fall, hypnotized by the sight of it slowly piling up, listening to the ever so faint thump, thump. After an hour of watching the snow they both fell asleep on that roof, cuddling under the warm blanket. The snow continued to slowly blanket the ground.
“Ugghhh. What time is it?” Marco woke up first. He was also first to fall asleep. He turned and saw that Star was still asleep. He poked the heart on her cheek.
“Boop.”
“AH NAW WE’RE LATE FOR SCHOOL!” Star exclaimed, before realizing where she was or what day it was (Saturday).
“Good morning to you too. Why did you bring this blanket in the first place?” he pointed towards the warm blankie on them.
“What? Oh. I ate a fortune cookie yesterday and it said to always be prepared.”
“I thought you didn’t believe in fortune cookies anymore.”
“I don’t. But I had a feeling this one meant something. And what do you know! Here we are.”
“Let’s head back home.”
“Ok. Hey, aren’t you glad you came after all? Huh? Huh? You know you liked it.”
“Ehhh it was ok but I wouldn’t do it again.”
“Aww..”
“But, I guess it wouldn’t be so bad to come again. W-with you, I mean.”
“Aww, Marcooo…” there were tears of joy in her eyes. Marco looked away. But let’s be honest we all know he’s blushing a little. Our sweet Marco is too good for this world. Too pure.
That one was inspired by an outdoor skating rink by my house. Now, here’s another one!
Stump Day Fight
Ah, Stump day. A wonderful day to remember to keep the stump in your heart and let it lead the way. StarFan13, Star, Janna, Tom, Marco, Kelly, and Ponyhead were outside planning on having a snowball fight.
¨Alright! Let's split into teams! Janna you're with me!¨ said Star
¨Sweet.¨ said Janna.
¨Hey, why didn't you pick me?¨
¨I’m sorry Marco, but Janna´s probably better at this.¨
For the next few minutes they decided on teams. In the end the teams were Marco, Kelly, Ponyhead and Star, Janna, StarFan13. Tom didn´t want to play.
¨The game will start in three minutes everyone!¨ said Star.
¨Ok so you all know the rules you just attack each other with thE COOKIES I FORGOT TO MAKE STUMP DAY COOKIES! UH YOU ALL PLAY WITHOUT ME. TOM, YOU´RE ON MY TEAM.
¨Wait--what? But I don't want to-¨ said Tom to no avail.
¨So, is everyone ready TO PLAY?¨ yelled Ponyhead.
¨I think I´ll pass.¨ answered Tom.
¨What's the big deal? It's just a game.¨ said Marco.
¨Look, I just don't like snow, ok?¨ said Tom.
¨What, are scared of snow or something?¨
¨Boi don´t do it. I like drama but don´t do it.¨ said Pony. Marco didn't listen to reason. He was still salty about the whole Naysaya curse. And now, it was time for VENGEANCE.
¨What-why would I be scared of snow? I just don't want to play.¨ Tom wasn't lying. He really just wasn't a fan of snow. He didn't see what was so special about it.
¨It seems to me like you´re scared.¨ Marco knew this was sort of a petty argument, but he was afraid that this would be his only chance to get back at him.
¨You know what? I don't have time to deal with your childishne---!¨ Marco threw a snowball right at Tom's beautiful face. Although he's been improving on his anger issues, who wouldn't be mad at a snowball in the face.
¨OOOOHHHHH I kind of want to see this unfold now.¨ said Pony.
¨Ok, you want to fight? FINE.¨
Oh, foolish Marco. Only a few months have passed and he already forgot that Tom had a very strong arm, as he proved to him in ping-pong. He could throw a snowball with the same strength of a paintball gun.
Tom also had good aim and threw many painfull snowballs at Marco.
¨ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?¨ Tom asked. Marco hid behind a tree to prepare a snowball and tried to throw it at him.
¨NOW I AM HAHah..huh?¨ Tom wasn't there. Where was he? On the top of a tree, that’s where.
¨GOT YOU NOW, BITCH!¨ Tom jumped off the tree and towards him. Marco didn't even have time to process what was happening before Tom was on top of him.
¨OW! GET OFF ME!¨
¨ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?¨ Tom actually was happy despite not liking snowball fights. He was even laughing. Partially because of the fun and partially because he caught Marco.
Marco didn't respond. He just stared back at Tom's red eyes. He also just noticed that he had ear piercings. Tom was also at a loss for words now, and couldn't help but admire his cute little birthmark. What he didn't notice was Marco gathering snow into his right hand and throwing it back at Tom’s face.
¨Got you.¨ he said softly.
¨Seriously? I´m done. Bye. Thanks for the good fight. Hope the stump gets you tonight.¨ Tom headed back towards the castle, but not before Janna said something.
¨Well if you ever cheat on Star at least I know who it´ll be with.¨ Janna said with a smirk. Dang Janna why you so smooth...
¨No. Don't even think about it.¨ he responded.
Janna didn’t, but Tom sure thought about it. He tried to convince himself that the idea of being with Marco was a silly one, but we all know they would make an adorable couple.
There was some fluff for you! Here’s a more serious one. This one takes place in the episode Deep Dive
Lost Again
Ohhh… what happened?
“Look.” said Janna, pointing towards the map of the dimensions.
“Wait, where is that on the map?” oh no oh no where did she go?!
“I don’t know, she’s off the map.” Janna was getting nervous too.
Star started to head towards a weird portal. Oh no.
“Star? No, no, no, no, no. DON’T GO IN THERE!!!!!”
AAAHHHH the screen blacked out! Now what do I do?!?
“I’M GOING IN!” I ripped a portal open and jumped in, but I can’t find her. Of course I can’t go! I don’t know where the heck she is!
“What happened where is she?”
“I can’t get to her with the scissors if I don’t know where she is.”
Oh no no no no no noooooooooOOOOO! Now what?! WHAT IF SHE GETS LOST IN THAT PORTAL?! What if there’s some bad guys there?! What if I never see her again? I failed her, didn’t I?!. I failed as her squire. My only job is to help and protect her and I screwed up. Now she’s lost in who knows where and I have no way to find her. I failed her as a friend. Again.
This isn’t the first time I’ve lost her, is it? First it was Merberty when she flew away with Oscar, then again when she ran away from the cops. Then again when she left earth without a warning just before summer break. Then again when Ludo took her away to ask for help with his wand. And again when Toffee trapped her inside the wand. Then again, and again, and again. And what did I do? Nothing. All I ever do is worry. All those times that I’ve lost her I was never the one to bring her back. She always did it by herself. I couldn’t help as a friend and now I can’t even help as a squire. UGH WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME? No. I won’t just stand by while she’s off somewhere in trouble! Not again. I need to do something. Something…
“Hey what if we use Glossaryck?” asked Janna. Ugh he’s useless. Which he proved to her by yelling globgor.
“You’re a disgrace to magic.” Janna said.
Magic. Wait--magic... If Ludo could use magic.. Then I should be able to.. I walked over to her wand. It’s almost like I’m looking at her instead of a wand. I picked it up.
“OHHH YOU’RE GONNA DIE.”
I don’t care. I don’t care if the room explodes or if I turn to stone. Right now, this is my only option. I’m not just gonna stand by this time. I’m gonna do something. I’m gonna bring her back. I won’t leave her alone. We’ll be together again like the moon and stars at night. I’m gonna help you this time Star.
I take a deep breath before I dive into whatever might happen.
Here I go.
AAAHHH These were fun to write! I’m not much of a writer either but I hope these make you happy. Tell me what you think!!!
