Hello,

Was playing cards against humanity with some friends last night and pulled this amazing combo:

Astral Express Crew celebrating Christmas!

This is just proof that I'm working on a one shot fic of this that will eventually be posted.

Tags: An attempt at fluff, generally chill Express crew, SPOILERS FOR END OF PENACONY, SPOILERS FOR 2.7 QUEST

Let me know if I should add anything else.

- Firstly, Pom Pom and March would absolutely decorate all the cars to the max, but I also feel like Welt would get in on it too???

- Welt would make a little Christmas animation for the crew to enjoy, everyone loves it.

- Stelle may or may not have loudly claimed that she's a star before jumping onto one of the many Christmas trees, knocking it down in the process. Caelus acts disappointed during the aftermath but was cheering her the entire time.

- I think Dan Heng would probably try and find little themed activities from the data bank, all from different planets and such.

- Himeko would make a 95% coffee 5% hot chocolate mix, March only sees the marshmallows before taking a huge gulp of an unattended mug. Coffee is supposed to make you wake up, however March was out of it for a solid three hours.

- I think everyone would have a very specific chocolate order and Pom Pom just has a little note on the fridge to remember them all. Dan Heng would just have a plain hot chocolate with nothing in it, whilst March would have nearly everything sweet in hers. They both heavily judge each other. I think Welt would go for whipped cream and cinnamon, Himeko has her abomination, whilst Caelus and Stelle... experiment a little bit, before ultimately just having a little bit of everything in theirs. Pom Pom makes themselves eggnog as a boost to help clean up the tree Stelle wrecked ealier.

- SPOILERS FOR THE END OF PENACONY AND THE 2.7 QUEST Black Swan helps layer everything with a little bit of frost and I reckon she'd spike her hot chocolate just a smidge. Sunday enjoys decorating, wants to cry when a single thing gets knocked out of place, he canonically has a sweet tooth so his hot chocolate order would be somewhere between March's and Stelle's/Caelus's.

Hi! Fic request: write about the Astral Express Crew celebrating a holiday? (Could be a real or in-universe holiday.) I imagine found-family fluff, + the usual shenanigans. Ty!

Working on it, I promise 🙏

That one song that's like; "Sometimes people leave you, halfway through the woods. Do not let it grieve you, no one leaves for good." THAT sounds like Dan Heng.

(mild 2.7 spoilers below the cut) the new event is so cute and funny... it's like a slice-of-life show abt the express crew

dan heng tried to clean the parlor car with his cloudhymn magic but he goofed up 😭 and then u have the option to use cloudhymn again to try fix it, i love this game's dialogue

ever since the trailblazer got an actual bed, it's become a thing that they sleep in a lot and their sleep schedule gets fucked up really easily (just like me fr)

march and tb got a blind box and dan heng found the right toy using cloudhymn echolocation ("BRO ARE YOU A BAT???") so they started calling him the capsule master. they're so funny i love them sm

Astral Express at Christmas

Tags: fluff, found family. Let me know if I should add anything else.

Disclaimer: I am not very motivated but I want to get this done before the new year, so we're doing this now. Please don't have high expectations.

The Astral Express's parlor car was quiet, except from the gentle sound of Robin's Christmas album coming from the phonograph. Fairy lights decorate the edges of windows that have been carefully frosted with ice from a festive March 7th, and the Express's conductor is calmly sweeping away at the pine trees needles that had fallen whilst the crew was setting up.

Sunday is sat by the phonograph, quietly enjoying his sisters music as he sips on a hot chocolate he had made for himself not long ago. Himeko and Welt are participating in quiet conversation, sat on one of the parlor cars many couches. March enters from the passenger car, a bounce in her step and many, many festive hats and headbands held in her arms.

She walks up to Sunday with a soft smile, a headband placed delicately upon her head to give her reindeer antlers. "Miss March. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Sunday speaks first with a polite greeting, choosing not to immediately acknowledge the many Christmas hats that March is cradling.

March hands him a small crown of fake holly, clusters of red plastic berries in between the evergreen leaves. "Just making sure everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit. We'll be taking pictured in front of the Christmas tree in the party car later, mkay?" March replies perkily, already bounding off to give Mr Yang and Himeko their festive hats.

"Very well," Sunday murmurs softly as he briefly inspects the holly crown before placing it upon his head. March relays her message to Himeko and Welt, giving them a headband with stars on springs and an elf hat with pointy ears respectively.

Continuing her journey into the party car, March is easily able to spot Caelus and Stelle, practically curled up under the largest Christmas tree to grab some presents and shake them about to figure out what's inside. At the bar, Black Swan is calmly sipping at some hot chocolate, but the faint yet distinct smell of alcohol lingers in the air.

March gives Caelus and Stelle some Santa hats, Black Swan receives some snowman hair clips, and Dan Heng had been gifted a beanie that resembled a Christmas pudding which he refused to wear until Caelus encouraged him. They all took a nice picture, my motivation is gone, someone remind me to continue this next year.

@pennameless

One of my favs is that he has bad balance since he's used to having a tail (even if it's a subconscious thing) so he's used to that extra weight to help him stay steady. So now he just sometimes randomly stumbles forwards a little.

Hey Dan Heng nation… Wanna share some hcs? I’ll go first:

When he’s in his vidyadhara/IL form, he tends to speak slower because of his canines/fangs. Since he spent so much time in his human form, he’s not used to the change and he has some trouble speaking clearly :3

(Semi projecting since I have a speech impediment LOL)

for april fools we’re deleting this entire site sayonara you weeaboo shits

If you can't wash it off, paint over it, replace the item, or buff it out, turn a message of hate into one of love! I would never condone someone to do this discreetly and in mere seconds with a quickly concealed permanent marker, for example on a public bench or bus stop. Certainly not anything like whipping out a tat machine and adding to an unconscious white supremacist's existing tattoo. That would be illegal! :) And, dear followers, I would never encourage you to do something that's illegal. So, please only use this when someone has defaced your personal property to avoid breaking the law! Because that would be illegal, and following in the law is always in everyone's best interest. :) .... :) reblogs and even reposts definitely welcome

Hey there 🌍💙

I hope you're doing well. Today, I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request. My family is going through an incredibly difficult time, and I need your help to make our story heard.

🔄 A simple reblog of my pinned post can spread awareness.

💖 A small $5 donation could bring hope where it’s desperately needed.
