could I please get joy, presents & yule for diadora, please? 💕

of course you can sweet anon!!

J: JOY what is the happiest memory they connect to christmas season?

the first time she got to spend it with sigurd and the others. before, she never had the opportunity to be with friends and experience the world open as it is, learning about all the different customs of the different countries and regions. she does miss her home and the family she grew up with, sure, but she’s very happy being with everyone like that

P: PRESENT do they give hand-made presents or do they prefer to buy them? how long do they take to select them and how good are they at choosing ones people will like?

it’s not like she isn’t used to buying stuff at all, but she doesn’t even get the idea of buying presents by herself at all. growing up, she was taught to either make something out of what nature offers during the colder months or something useful, like a warming dish or knitted gloves. as such, this is the kind of presents she gives away, even if a little adapted to the new environment she’s in now. not everyone will necessarily like what she gets them, but diadora is very adept at finding out what people need, so they will find it very useful in the end

Y: YULE what do they associate with “christmas”? what’s most important to them?

she mostly associates it with snow, roasted chestnuts, warm fires and the smell of cinnamon. the most important thing for her is to use this time to relax, take a step back from everything and spending quality time with her loved ones

ok SO theres this person lets call her butter; so this butter person well shes touchy like REALLY so she likes holding hands and putting her head on my shoulder anywayyyyy apparently butters friends told me that butter when im not ther is like a lion in a cage but when im there shes the calmest an cutest person aND IDK WHATIS HAPPENING i may be overreacting here;;;; its my right tho also i got more soRRY FOR TAKING UP YOUR TIME ;;;;;

(2)  ITS ME AGAIN also when i was in french class jk was live and the french teacher is like really strict but i swear to god that butter came to my class even tho she is scared of that teacher and texted me to go to the bathroom to watch the live for like 3 min;; butter was skipping a class just to watch that vlive w me and i was internally screaming again still not done i aM SO SORRY

(3)  THE LAST ONE I PROMISEEE ok so this week we have like a "different-week" going on and the maths teacher was like ok so lets do 2 hours of maths but with both of my classes (the one i am in and the one butter is in) and butter was like yaay well stay together at the same desk an drawww and i was like super happy and excited skip to 1 hour later when no one was writing anything anymore so butter was just drawing on my sketchbook anyway im out of space gotta go fill another ask hahah sorry

(4)  OK BUT THIS REALLY IS THE LAST ONE ok so butter starts like idk how to describe it like scratching but softer w the fingertips my legs and she asked really softly like whispering if i like it and i did like it so i said umm sure and she was like well you know because soe ppl dont like it;;; istart doing the same to butter and she was like well dont do the same circle in the same spot so i started like moving to the knee aand tp was like well thats more like it ONE LAS THING BUT NO SPACE LEFT IM

(5)  L A S T O N E butter is one of those ppl (im in the same category) whos not realllly a fan of selfies and doesnt take them like at all butt she wanted to take one w me bc apparently we dont have any and butter kept saying that im really pretty and i was like haVE YOU EVER SEEN YOURSELF IN A MIRROR and just went back and forth also butter took a lot of pics of me when i was like what is you doinnn and i took a bunch of pics of her bc shes like so prettyyy and thats it sorry i need your opinion

butter pls that's so cute fndjkfnkds and it all sounds so cute !!! i can imagine how you're feeling omg

sO it's already established that butter has a big soft spot for you and you only, as her friend told you; and all the interactions you described really seemed like things someone who ha a crush/likes you would do - and it actually rang a bell on me lmaoo especially the scratching legs part tbh (but let's get back to this later)

butter is really out there skipping class to watch a live with you and taking selfies with you even if she doesn’t like it but she wants bc it’s /you/ and beiNG CUTE AND SOFT WITH YOU !! from my point of view it really seems like she likes you back as well. Now let's get back to the bell thing: i had a total of 2 major crushes in my life and it was pretty similar to what you're describing (the last one was even more !! bc everyone shipped us lol but nothing happened sadly), but i was always too scared and never said anything to them and i regret it so the first advice is: tell!! her!!!!!!!

I know it can be hard and that we want to know if the person actually feels the same before confessing so for the rest of my advice: 1) if it's possible, try to pay "attention" to the friend that told you about the lion in the cage thing when you're around her - if she makes "knowing faces" to butter when you two interact or something like that; 2) also if you can, maybe you can ask her friend?? like 'uh so, does butter likes anyone rn?' or smth like that; 3) the best option tho is to ask butter herself, and it seems like you guys have a pretty nice relantionship so it would be easier to ask (also pay attention to her answer and general body language when she answers!); 4) when she start doing These Things try to show her that you really likes it and try to start it be yourself sometimes as well

crushes can be really tricky and i know that when we are actually in front of them we have no control of we do lmao see how things go from there, but pleaseee try to tell her how you feel!! i know it's hard but it can be such a relief to finally say it to the person you like and!! it will destroy all your doubts al well. 

I'm wishing you all the luck anon!!! i hope i could help you even if just a bit and pls keep me updated on what happens with butter! honestly, you guys seem so cute i wanna explode and @butter pls stop this slow burn 100k fic
