For Taylor's first birthday, Glenn shows up late--clearly having been in a rush but still wearing his usual lopsided grin. He gifts the kid this snoopy plushie that's dressed in a santa outfit. The item is nearly as big as his little grandson. And the sight reminds him of seeing Nick for the first time outside of those fuzzy ultrasound images. His eye might have shined a bit at the thought and the fact that his grandson immediately latched onto the toy and his arm when he presented the gift to him. Taylor still has that snoopy in present day, in fact out of the few gifts that have survived his various childhood adventures...this is the only one still in his bedroom, resting on his bed along with those pillows.

The snoopy used to have a hat but its long gone now. He wore it so much as a toddler that the little clear straps that hooked it to the toy fell apart. Now the worn and stitched hat is resting in plastic with a little cop toy in the family awards room. On the off-chance that anyone questions him about his ownership of police propaganda, he is prepared to explain (as a master preparer always is). Taylor's got a ten page booklet that tells this little ex-cop character's heroic and fantastical story. But back to the snoopy santa, Taylor didn't know who Snoopy was until many years later, so he named the toy something else entirely: Detective Snow-feet. The toy has white fur and Santa lives in the north pole (or so his mom tells him), so snow seemed fitting. Now for the detective part though... This super cool dog is undercover as a santa trying to infiltrate someplace. Perhaps a fancy...mall or epic film studio? Sadly some of the extended lore for this beloved sidekick is a bit fuzzy but it adds a nice mystery to things, so Taylor doesn't mind too much. Its fun to make up more info each year too. Usually on his birthday but sometimes during holidays. ---- The detective undercover at a mall--is a vague reference to Glenn not liking mall santas. The ex cop toy is reference to Jodie, but the backstory part is because Taylor likes making up intricate stories for his things, especially if he treasures them deeply. The items and their stories keep him company! Additional note (thank you Isadora for reminding me :D): The film studio part is a reference to both Meryl (at the mountains of dadness character) and Cass. Meryl was a silent film actor and Cass was a former daytime tv actress. Also Nicky was the first one to put the little santa hat on Taylor. He could not resist the cuteness and Cass may have teased him and then cheered him on affectionately--quickly getting her phone camera out for many a photo. Little Taylor was very amused, giggling and wiggling around in his crib. There's this one picture Nicky keeps with him that has the whole Freeman Close Foster Swift family with a bunch of tiny santa hats on and their kiddo (2-3) is in the center with Nicky and Cass holding him up. All have a variety of colorful sweaters on too. It was an in hell photo so there was some snow and hell fire in the bg too. The flames seemed to float and form holiday themed shapes too.

I need y'all to take a look at the fic

"The lie behind the Golden Truth" by Jevana

It got everything from interesting characterization to really good world building post-Trimax to angst hell.

Please if ya haven't already, give it a shot it's so fucking good omg

kinda wild to me this is the Final Thing from last summer i never posted :0 i’m still kinda hoping one day i’ll actually go back and re-board it and do some proper post prod. but at this point i KNOW i’m busy and will continue to be busy so.  i hope y’all still enjoy this first pass as is :)

random stuff about the process for it under the cut if anyone’s interested

so all the boards in this pass were done late july/early august 2021, with about a month put into them all collectively.  i was trying really hard to strike a balance between wanting the boards to look clean but ALSO do them as fast as possible, because that’s, y’know, kinda the whole point of boarding lol

the three pages of thumbnails i did took about a day per page with all the planning involved

i’d intended to do the whole song but i didn’t have a fully formed opinion about the ending of the actual show at the time, so by this midway point i ended up realizing i’d need to completely re-thumbnail the entire last half if i wanted it to make any sense.  IT ALSO GENUINELY TOOK ME A WHILE TO REALIZE THAT I UH, DEFAULTED TO THE INSTAGRAM PORTRAIT FORMAT.  INSTEAD OF AN ACTUAL VIDEO 1920x1080 RESOLUTION.  I MAY BE STUPID

The manga is so so good

Just now at ww and vash meeting after 2 yrs :3
