I wrote a fic for Three King’s Day, which is today! This is a holiday I celebrated growing up- it was super fun to write about the Nocedas and Clawthorne’s celebrating! Written for @toh-holiday-kingo for the prompts human realm holidays, legendary figures, and gift giving.
Noche de Reyes
Camila has recruited Eda to help her leave presents in the night (la Noche de Reyes) from the Three Kings for King and Vee’s first Three King’s Day. She doesn’t want the ruse revealed to ruin the magic of the holiday, since this magic isn’t real, the way the magic the kids are used to is. Then again, there were a lot of things Camila once believed weren’t real.
Or: Camila and Eda bond and almost ruin Three King’s Day
This is a Spanish/Latin American Christmas holiday with a Santa-like tradition!

Happy New Year from Luz and her siblings!!! Make sure to eat 12 grapes for luck (one for each month of the new year)! (<— This is a Spanish tradition! I have my grapes at the ready 😄)
For TOH Holiday Kingo for the prompt “lights and decorations” @toh-holiday-kingo
Lilith: What are you two doing back there? Hurry up!
Drawn for @toh-holiday-kingo prompt "Older generation memories"💖 Merry Christmas to everyone who likes it when Raine wears Eda's Grudgby jacket and/or when Lilith is annoyed because they get too caught up in each other and get distracted from the task at hand!
I wrote a solstice fic for TOH Holiday Kingo 😄 for the prompts Boiling Isles Holidays, Gift Giving, and Parties/festival. @toh-holiday-kingo
Solstice Night
The longest night of the year rarely feels long for Eda. As the people she shares it with change, her dedication to marking the holiday, to staying up for the full night in Boiling Isles tradition, does not. It is a holiday that inspires a lot of emotions, but she is good at pushing those down.
OR 5 times Eda didn’t cry on Solstice Night + 1 time she did

Here’s two of our favorite moms supervising the preparation of holiday foods!!
Eda and King are making moon and star cookies to celebrate the Winter Solstice! (It’s a Clawthorne family recipe; I wish I could replicate it, but fairy eyes are in short supply where I live.)
The Nocedas are making Pasteles de Masa, a common Christmas food in Puerto Rico, a tradition passed down by Manny 😍. (This is something you can easily find a recipe for online if you want to give it a try! Set aside a good chunk of time.) (They are basically rectangles of root/plantain paste with savory fillings that are wrapped in plantain leaves and tied into little parcels to be boiled and eaten en masse. Kind of like tamales but nothing like tamales 😂.) (Look, as soon as I saw that Puerto Rican flag in Thanks to Them, I claimed Manny and now the Nocedas are doing all the Puerto Rican traditions.)
I have discovered fanfics where the Owlbeast is protective of people whom it considers part of its family, so: This is my submission for @toh-holiday-kingo prompt "Cozy and warm".
Speaking of bingo, with this I have officially drawn Raeda with all 3 canon shapes - witch Eda, harpy Eda, Owlbeast. Now I guess I gotta design my own harpy Raine...
Also working on completing the Raeda bingo when it comes to ages.
Any other possible Raeda bingos out there for me to complete? ^^
As a follow up to this post, here is Hooty singing Santa Baby (as was specifically requested by my friend @lsoer; now you know who to blame for the existence of this cursed drawing 😂). I suppose that makes this entry #2 for the prompt “Festive Music” in @toh-holiday-kingo!
Entry for the prompt “Festive Music” in the TOH Holiday Kingo card! @toh-holiday-kingo Luz introduced the Owl Fam to American Christmas radio 😂
Owl Fam favorite human realm holiday songs:
King- Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
Raine- Little Drummer Boy
Palismans- Away in a Manger
Luz- All I Want for Christmas is You
Hooty- Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Eda- Santa Baby (is anyone surprised by this one??? If you haven’t heard the Wendy Malick cover, please check it out!!)
Thanks to a member of the Raeda and Friends discord for asking what people thought toh characters’ favorite holiday songs were, I had fun coming up with my answers ☺️.
(TOH Holiday Kingo is going on until January 6th; check out the bingo card and consider making something! 😄)
