Fan: So we know the Carver Edlund books are in the show, I mean, obviously in the episode they were like skimming one of the books. I was curious, do you think the brothers actually read every single one to kind of find out what their brother was thinking, or did they make a pact not to read them?
Jared: Sam read them, because Sam reads and reads and reads and reads. Well, he's dead now, but [pause for reaction] - too soon? When he was alive, maybe in heaven he just [gestures] has a bunch of books, it's all Carver Edlund.
Jensen: Sam probably was like, "Dean, you gotta read this" and Dean was like, "I don't read books, books read me!" That's probably how that went. He's like, "Why would I read it, I'm living it!"
Jared: [laughs] I don't want a recap!
Jensen: [laughs] Yeah, I don't know that Dean would have read one. Although I think I've got one of the prop books -
Jared: I think I do, too. I don't know which one I have -
Jensen: Yeah, we were full kleptomaniacs on the set of Supernatural. And I can admit that now, because I have not been served legal papers and it's been years.
Jared: What's your favorite thing that you have?
Jensen: My favorite theft? [Jared: Yeah?] Well, I mean, Baby's not really a theft because that one we actually got permission. That would have been awkward. "Guys, guys! Where are they going?" It's just this [points to banner of the Impala driving away], just tail lights, "Okay, I guess we're done with the year."
Jared: We got a little gift - so outside of our own kleptos? We got little gift packages from ? and the props department. And so there were some fun things.
Jensen: I will say this is not something that I got in our little, like - listen we're just getting rid of this stuff anyway because we're scraping all the sets and WB did give a list of 'these are the things that we actually want to obtain and retain'. And there were a lot of just kind of left over things that probably didn't seem relevant or special but were kind of special to us. Or it was like, you know, a broken angel blade something like that - oh, this was broken doing this stunt, it means something to me but it may not mean something to the studio, but. I will say one of the things that I just - that found its way into my pocket, I don't know how [Jared: Accident!] was years before we ended. It was when I knew that they were going to destroy Bobby Singer's house. [Jared taps his arm and points excitedly] On his desk, on Bobby's desk was this little antique brass calendar, that was like one of those things where you roll to turn the date and the day? And I don't know why, but on set I just always was playing with that while we were setting up our scenes or - and I just thought it was the coolest little vintage calendar thing. Yeah, it went missing, I don't know where it went.
Jared: All I know is that explains why Jensen always calls, "Dude, can you believe it's 1996?" "What?"
Jensen: "It's Tuesday, December 1996!" "Bro, stop messing with Bobby's calendar."
Jared: That's really funny, man! I stole two things - uh two things went missing from Bobby Singer's place - on the last day. One was a flask, Bobby Singer's flask, and one was the little owl figurine that was probably about this big [gestures], really heavy, it's a paperweight or something? And they went missing and then Jim was like [does gruff impression] "Aw, man, I was hopin' to get that owl, I don't know what happened to it." And I was like, "shit" and so I went to my trailer and got it and was like, "Here, Jim." But I still have the flask somewhere. From post-show, I think one of the little army men from the car [Jensen: Yeah], some of the Legos, uh, Samulet. Yeah. I know there were several of each - like hotel room cards, and then I got sent, like, three of the burner phones? I was like what the fuck am I gonna do with -
Jensen: Yeah, what am I gonna do with this?
Jared: From like, circa 2005.
Jensen: I just, yeah, it was like - when they were like, "Okay this is our last day in Bobby Singer's set, we're tearing it down tomorrow" Jared and I were like [Jared mimes shoving things in various pockets] full cat burglar. Like, snuck in to the stage - we went full Sam & Dean.
Jared: Crew guys would walk by, and be like, "Hey, what's going on?" and we're like, [looks obviously guilty] "Nothing! Nothing, man, how you doin'? It's good, it's good."
Jensen: The boys are acting really cagey today, I don't know what's going on -
Jared: Like stuff rolled up in our shirts -
Jensen: I'd have taken the couch if I could have fit it in my shirt.

J2 Gold Panel Nashcon 2022
Temperatures in Nashville are dropping so Jared was excited that he had gotten to wear a scarf the day prior because of the chill and Jensen jokes that Jared waits all year long to be able to put on a scarf, that he lives in the wrong place to have a scar fetish to which Jared replies that he wouldn’t call it a fetish and Jensen just goes "you can call it whatever you want, it's a fetish" 😂
Jumping into the questions, do they think the brothers actually read every Carver Edlund book to find out what their brother was thinking or did they make a pact not to read them? Jared says Sam read them cause Sam read and read when he was alive. Jensen said Sam probably told Dean to read them but Dean told him "I don’t read books, books read me.” and "why would I read, I’m living it?"
He doesn’t know that Dean would have read one but he thinks he has one of the prop books and Jared says he thinks he has one too but that he doesn’t know which one. Jensen says he and Jared were full kleptomaniacs on the set of spn, and he can admit that now bc he hasn’t been served legal papers and it’s been years. So Jared asks him what his favorite thing that he took is, and Jensen answers that he would say baby but that’s not really a theft, they got permission otherwise it would have been awkward when they would have kept driving off in her. Jared mentions that outside of what they took they got little gift packages from the props department. So there are some fun things.
Jensen says that WB did send a list of things they wanted to retain and there were a lot of leftover things that didn’t seem relevant or special but were special to them like items that may not mean anything to the studio but it did to them. But he will say one of the things that found its way into his pocket was years before when he knew they were going to destroy Bobby’s house, on his desk there was a little antique brass calendar that you roll to turn the date and for some reason, he would keep playing with it on set and he thought it was the coolest little vintage thing and it went “missing” he doesn’t know where it went. Jared jokes that this explains why Jensen’s always calling him being like dude can you believe it’s 1996? 😆
Jared starts to say he stole- then changes his wording and says two things went "missing" from Bobby’s desk one was his flask and the other was an owl figurine paperweight thing but Jim was like 'oh I was hoping to get that owl, I don’t know what happened to it' so Jared went to his trailer and gave it to him. Post-show he was given some of the legos, samulet, an army man, hotel room keys, and he got sent like three of the burner phones. Jensen says when they were like 'okay last day on Bobby Singer's house tearing it down tomorrow' he and Jared went full cat burglar on stage, that he would have taken the couch if he could have fit it in his shirt. x
A fan is having their second child and they want the boys to vote on the two names they’ve narrowed down to, the two names are Calvin or William. The boys joke around about names, and I don't know how to explain it but basically, Jensen does a weird shortening of Jared's name saying that when he says it to others he ends up spitting all over people, and Jared goes 'yeah you just spit on me I think, I'm now moisturized 😂' Jensen brings up the good point that something parents have to think about is what’s the shortening of that name going to be, and after some more back and forth the vote is for Calvin from both of them. x
Through this panel and the main one, Jared is making pun jokes left and right, and one of them is that he says there was a kidnapping at his children's school but he woke up. And Jensen comments that he wanted to punch Jared when he told him that yesterday because their kids go to the same school and Jared approached him very seriously and was like "did you hear there was a kidnapping?" and Jensen was worried he was like "what grade?" "5th grade but it’s okay he woke up." and Jensen was ready to smack him 😂
Assuming they were telling the truth, whether or not they decided to believe, what would be their reaction to getting the monsters are real talk? Jared answers that he would say "no shit man, I ain’t concerned I know a guy who knows a guy who knows these two brothers they’ll keep us safe." Jensen says he guesses it’s a good thing he’s been practicing for the last 15yrs, even though it was pretend now it can have real-world applications, he’s essentially been training, he’s been at boot camp for 15yrs so he'd be like "put me in the field coach let’s get it on." x
What was it like working with James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter? It was awesome. Jared says that they had met them a few times, in their line of work you kind of run into everybody at some point in time so they kind of knew them both casually but then they’ve (JM and CC) done so much tv that they knew their lines and knew how to do stunts and they were sweet and kind. And he thinks Charisma introduced him to Twitter or facebook or something, she asked if he was on there and he said no and she told him how to do it and to follow her so he did, and James was also awesome.
Jensen says James was great and that something he remembers vividly about that episode is that they had a stunt where Dean gets pulled by some french doors and usually there's a stunt team with ratchet pulls and machines to yank you but for some reason the set was positioned in a way that would make it difficult to rig up the system but one of their special effects guys was a former football player and was jacked and he said he could just pull Jensen. So his stunt double went first, Jensen says thank god cause he got to see what was going to be done to him, and then it was his turn and he put on the belt, and then the guy had a harness that tied them together and he got into the hut position like you do when you're playing (american) football and when they yelled action he ran and Jensen went flying as if he got hit by a pickup truck. And James was shocked. x
If they could play a character in a video game or play a video game character in a live-action adaptation what would they choose? Jared says Mario in the voice and does some jumping. And Jensen is just like wtf? 😂
Jensen reveals that he was pushing hard for this role but he doesn’t think he was even in the mix or even had a shot at it but it was for Pedro Pascal’s role in the Last Of Us adaptation. That was high up on his radar but he is headed to LA to shoot for a whole day for a new game that’s coming out that’d be in January but he can’t say what it is just yet. I love Jared’s little expression here when Jensen mentions this project he looks so excited, and he jokes that if you can find Jensen he’s going to be in a skin-tight green suit that he'll tweet the location. x
I had never heard of this but it's an interesting concept. A fan is marrying themself and they want a song recommendation from each of the boys for their reception. Jensen says Reba’s 'I’m a survivor'. An iconic song. Jared says unstoppable by Sia. x
If they could have dinner with any three people living or dead who would they be? Jensen asks if they can just go with one or the other because if you say living or dead you open it up to everybody, so the fan says dead. That doesn’t narrow it down for Jensen and he comments that living would have been much easier because so many more people have died.
Jared replies that he would love to have dinner with his dad’s dad, so his great grandpa, who passed before he was born, probably a Greek philosopher, and their friend Matt to have a final conversation with him. Jensen says he could throw a long list because there’s a lot, language might be an issue but he has some questions for Jesus, he would also ask him to walk on water and tell him his water doesn’t taste like wine be like "spice this up padre", and then he would probably go with his two grandfathers because he wasn’t old enough to really understand their lives the way he is now and he’d ask a lot more questions; he’d want to see his grandmas too but he feels he knew his grandmother's more because they shared with him more. That it's a generational thing men didn’t talk very much in their generation so he feels like if he had opened that door they would have been receptive to it but that’s not a door that you opened back then, so he would have liked to have sat with them and asked them about their life, especially the war. x
To wrap up the panel, during the course of 15yrs what was their favorite/most challenging/grossest monster? Jensen says he knows Jared’s grossest, it's when he had to cut the hellhound stomach and all the guts fell on him. Jared says that and the fly monster that drools because he hates spit, that he rather someone come up to him and punch him in the face than spit on him on purpose. That there was one where they had to spray him with juice or something and he felt it was like getting spit but they were like 'it’s just a water gun' so he was like that’s fine, so anything that feels like mouth fluid even though he has no problem doing things like drinking a coke after his kids. He also says he hasn’t showered this month. Jared, you are going down a path I cannot follow because this I cannot defend, take a shower! This is probably why you keep getting sick. Then Jensen brings up how Jared would stick his gum on the table in Jensen's trailer and then pop it back in his mouth. I had not heard this story in so long, this is like from the vault of classic j2.
Then his fav were probably shapeshifters. He likes the mental chess whether Jensen was the shapeshifter, or he was or somebody else was those were kind of his favorite scenes to shoot cause they were kind of like the psychological warfare instead of just kicking and punching and cutting off heads. 
Jensen would say his favorite was probably vampires because they didn’t have the power to press them against a wall like demons did, like if Crowley is pining them against a wall that's a position they gotta stay in for a minute and a half till they yell cut and do over and over again so you start hyperventilating and it’s exhausting, and your muscles cramp up. Vampires were just good old fashion hand to hand combat and he enjoyed that a lot better than some sort of supernatural element that has them being thrown around by whatever. 
Grosses he’s gonna go back all the way to Wendigo. Seeing that for the first time really set the town for the kind of show that they were doing for the next year. Not 15 years because they had no idea that’s how long they were gonna go, the boys also mention that the actor who played Roy was not a classically trained stuntman, but he was all for doing his stunt so they put the fire gel on him and set him on fire and then about two seconds later he was asking for it to be put out, he did not like it, and Jared and Jensen were left freaked out and wondering about what they had just gotten themselves into. x

Happy Christmas everyone. Why is Christmas so hard emotionally? It was not a terrible day, it wasn't even a bad day, but I did struggle. I found moments of joy but it was still tough and I felt a lot of inner stress.
I slept alright last night. James would have the painful sinuses and I had a sore throat. I think the air is just very dry. Messing with us for sure.
But I felt pretty good this morning. I was trying to be positive and be happy and send happy to people I care about because it's Christmas! And I wanted to be happy for Christmas.
I went to get dressed and ready for the day and I felt very pretty. James had their sweatshirt over their clothes but would change before we left and they looked so handsome.
I was a little frustrated that I did not have any caffeine all day. Like I know it's not healthy but I have a soda for breakfast every day. And there was none for me and it is my fault for not thinking about it but I was bummed and I'm sure it put me in a weird space all day. And then there was a distinct lack of breakfast. I just had to try and power through.
We left here around 930. It was about a half hour to "the club house", which is a private space that the Cantler part of the family rented in the private community. And it was very large and fancy. And it was honestly a great space for the day.
I really enjoyed seeing everyone but I was for sure in a weird head space that I had to very purposely push that aside. It was Christmas and I was determined to be happy and feel good.
Eating helped. The pallet I have is not the same of their family's. It has always been an issue. But I tried to find stuff I like even if it was not exactly how I would have enjoyed them. There were eggs but they were cold and had mushrooms in it. And there were croissants, which were great but I would have liked them more with jam. I don't like eating stuff without a sauce or dip. So everything felt like. Unfinished. Incomplete. But I ate at least and that helped.
After breakfast it was time for stockings. Ezra and Miriam were very excited for gifts. And it was a lot of fun opening things and James got me a few great things. An antique pocket calendar. Some beautiful circle earrings that I love so much. A ring that I do like but is slightly to small but once I did that it will be great. I also got a bunch of snacks and some more Deae America books that I am very excited about. Two of them are boys! I barely ever get the boy ones. I am excited to have something else to read.
I liked watching James open their gifts from me. And I think they liked them. I also just liked watching everyone else too. It was a lot of fun. Despite feeling a little off and a little sad, I was still having a nice time. It was shocking how much some people got for their stocking person. I think me and James did a pretty good job not going crazy crazy.
After all the paper was cleaned up some people went to get cleaned up, a few things were picked up from houses. And then we all came back together for tree gifts. We started a very silly chant about waiting for uncle Will, and tree gift time, and we were being very silly.
It was decided that we would do one round robin. But first Ezra and Eve acted as elves and handed out everyone's gifts. It was very silly being covered in different boxes.
I got to open a very cool camera lucida in front of everyone. James did very good with this gift and I was genuinely surprised. I had showed them the kick-started for that a long time ago and hadn't thought about it since. And James opened a very good vintage cup. Then it was a bit of a free for all. Opening gifts. I think I may request that me and James open things slower together next time because I liked to see them open the things I get them. But I enjoyed seeing what I did.
I also enjoyed my gifts. Aunt Mary got us Christmas trolls that are darling. Cate and Aiden got me a chicken purse which made me laugh because I think I got that for Jess a few years ago.
James also got me a purrble. I love this thing. A top gift for me for sure. He's basically kind of a hamster heavy furby type of robot but his purrs and vibrates and has a heartbeat and is a science backed tool for calming anxiety. And it is seriously so pleasant to hold. I have named mine Percy. I also loved that his box is for a love animal I love the pageantry of that. Such a sweet detail.
I was feeling overly stressed at this point. Which is when my eye started twitching and has been twitching all day and it has sucked and drained me a bit. And I got overly upset for who knows what. I have no reason to be upset about gifts. But for some reason I was and I feel mad at myself about it. Like I feel like a brat but I got worked up and I did not like that. So I tried to focus on everyone else and enjoying seeing what they got.
Eve made me a candle on a pa dutch county pitcher that I thought was so cool. She made basically everyone candles this year which was pretty cool because I did too but in a different way! It was neat to see our different takes on it. And everyone who got one of my beaded ornaments seemed really excited and said it was very pretty and cool.
Speaking of ornaments. The tree that Jan had had Cliff and Eve Carey over was decorated just with pictures. And that was just so sweet. I thought that was such a nice idea. And it was fun finding different pictures of baby James but also me and James and Jess even made it on there. And one of my bears. It was so cute.
There was a lull after that. We got to go for a walk around the very woodsy neighborhood. James, Charlotte, Tucker, and me got to go to Will and Jan's summer home and get a tour. I was surprised to hear they bought it furnished. But it was fun to see and it has great views.
We would walk back and I would cuddle up on the couch to try to recharge. I drew for a bit. I had been drawing with Ezra and Miriam for a bit. They thought drawing on the tablet was the coolest thing. And I am really enjoying coming up with a general plan for each room. It's funny perspective for sure but I am enjoying getting my ideas out in a way James can understand the vision. They said they appreciate me doing it in a way they can see.
As the afternoon went on I insisted on using taking some nice pictures. Getting the right light was tough but I got a few that I was really happy with. And despite me feeling up about nonsense I was still really happy with my husband and I felt, and feel, very in love and that is really what I am most thankful for.
I was losing steam and was glad when they put out cheese and crackers. They weren't ones I particularly like. A lot of goat and very bitter cheeses. But it was fine. And the older family members were starting to set the big tables they had set up and everything looked so nice.
When it was time for dinner we had Christmas crackers first. Paper crowns. Riddles and puzzle toys. I had to look at a video to solve mine. We were being really silly and I was trying to stay positive even if I was flagging a bit.
I was worried about the food. This family does one meal for Christmas and I just don't like it. But I lucked out this year. White rice instead of wild rice. And Leah brought a hummus plate with lots of things I liked. And I was able to make a very silly plate that was basically a Greek chipotle bowl and I really liked it. So despite my fears I actually enjoyed my dinner.
I mostly enjoyed the company though. We talked about the house and I was able to be excited about it. And I was able to share some fears but also some things that feel like wins. And it was nice to hear about everyone else's journeys.
It was fun. And despite my upset feelings inside, I was happy to help start picking up and getting things ready to put everything back so we could go. James would handle all of the dishes which was very impressive. I would help Charlotte and Leah being things to the car and then drive it back to the house. Which was honestly so nice because I got to chat with Leah a bit and I really like her. And when we were at the house I got to pet the cats and they were babies and so sweet.
When we got back I kept helping. But I would also stop to play a game with Eve and Ezra. Walking up the stairs I also got a little dizzy so I went and leaned on James while they cleaned for a bit.
The cleaning went really well though and we were all giving hugs and saying goodbye pretty quickly. And then it was time to go.
I told James in the car about my upset feelings. How I know they are dumb and misplaced. But they are still there. Talking about it helped. Christmas is just always hard.
We got back here and being out of the big celebration made me feel a lot better honestly. Showering and being in my jammies helped too. I got to be alone for a bit. And that helped me feel a lot better.
James and the family were in the living room watching football while I worked on this in the room. But James just came to lay down. And I want to do that too. It is time to rest.
I hope you all have a lovely Christmas. No matter what that looks like. I love you all. Wish us luck on our travels tomorrow. Goodnight everyone.

TGM, cheesy 40s-themed gala fundraiser, go
Jake Seresin x OFC (Laura "Honda" Simpson)
It's like the 1940s au, but...not. This was fun.
Tumblr media
The dance was a family tradition.
The Navy, as Laura had been told often as a child, was big on traditions, like rum and learning knots and silly parties when you crossed the equator, and the annual Hangar Dance at the Miramar Air Museum was one of those traditions for the Simpsons. Laura couldn't remember a year when she hadn't come, except for a few times at the academy when she hadn't been able to make it home. It was just …a part of the calendar, like Fleet Week and birthdays and the 13th of October.
So when Jake asked if they had any plans the next weekend, the answer had been obvious, but it had seemed so silly, trying to explain it to him - "My father's on the board, and we go every year. It's a fundraiser. It's in one of the museum hangars; People get dressed up, and there's a band playing swing music."
"Dressed up, huh?" He'd taken that news in stride. "What time should I meet you?"
It was still light out, at seven, and the view of the setting sun across the tarmac of the museum's slightly weedy airfield was something to behold. It was like stepping back in time, somehow, staring at the dying light with a breeze blowing her dress around her legs a little and threatening to flip her skirt if she wasn't careful. Her stockings were straight, and the gardenia in her hair would probably last the whole evening, if Hank Genovesi wasn't here to try and do any fast dancing. The old hangar behind her had the doors open slightly, and there was a steady stream of guests heading inside, women in rockabilly wide skirts and men trying to look like MacArthur in aviators and leather jackets - a familiar crowd. "What, no uniform, Lieutenant Simpson?"
Laura turned towards the sound of her name and almost let her jaw drop at the sight of the man coming in from the parking lot. "Jake. You look…really good."
And he did. Hair combed just so, shirt pressed, tie neat, the edge on his trousers and the shine on his shoes ready for parade review. Even his jacket was period, as were the sunglasses he had casually tucked into the front pocket. He had gone all in, and it was …working. He looked like he'd just stepped off one of the photographs on the walls of the museum, a young man stepping off to become a naval cadet in the wake of Pearl Harbor. It was a good look -- especially on him.
Jake himself, however, seemed to think this was nothing. "What, did you expect me to half-ass this? I half-ass nothing. The Seresins take parties very seriously."
"Even costume parties?" she asked, walking inside the half- open doors so they could find a place to sit and enjoy the music. (The band was only just getting started, and there were only a few couples on the floor.)
"Especially costume parties. My sister was all over it. Sent me links for, like, an hour - found a nice vintage shop downtown. They were very excited to hear it was for this - the owner must be a fan." But Laura didn't get a chance to ask about the elusive sister before he gestured across the room. "This looks nice. Your dad looks like he ought to be in a corner office drinking a whiskey and telling them to hurry up production."
She looked over and nearly snorted. He was right. "Jake!"
"What? It looks good on him. Watch, he's going to come over here and ask if I'm going to have you home by ten."
Laura wanted to chide him, but it was no use - her father had seen them, and broke away from the conversation he was in to come and greet them, crusher cap under one arm and rank insignia absolutely gleaming under the string lights roped over the dance floor. "Lieutenant Seresin."
Both men seemed to stand up a little straighter. "Sir."
"I see you got the memo about dressing up. No dress whites?" he asked, looking the obviously civilian attire over with a careful eye, trying to find some flaw in the clothing or the man.
"Maybe we could say I'm shipping out next week, sir," Jake offered, just this side of insubordinate. "Should I have her home by ten?" he asked, and Laura nearly died, watching her father's frown quiver for a moment.
"I trust Laura can tell you when she wants to go home," Beau Simpson said, looking Jake dead in the eye and daring him to try something smart. "And that you're the kind of man who can listen. Enjoy the dance," he said, heading back to the knot of board members in an odd mix of uniform choices.
Laura waited until he was far enough away to turn on her date and hit him in the arm with her purse. "I can't believe you actually said that."
"I can't believe you would doubt me. Well, Miss Simpson, shall we find a place for your coat and handbag and find an ice cold coca cola?" he asked, exaggerating his voice just so like he was playing an especially perky date in an old-time radio show.
"You need to stop," Laura begged, so ready to laugh as she followed him into the crowd.
"I refuse," he said, more of his own voice now than before, threading in between tables looking for an empty seat. "I …didn't get a chance to tell you I think you look very pretty," he added, finding an empty space and pulling out a chair. He sounded more sincere now, less brash - and seeing him standing there, with the chair, and the table, like this really was 1940 and they really were out to dance, left her…confused. "The…flower in the hair's a nice touch."
She didn't know why, but it made her blush, a little. "Thank you. I have a lot of practice dressing for this."
"Well, I'd paint you on my plane," he declared with a grin, and she sighed. There was the old Hangman she knew too well. "So what counts as racy in this decade? Is my hand around your waist gonna turn some heads or do I have to take you out back for that?"
"Let's start with seeing if you don't step on my toes, Lieutenant Seresin, and we'll go from there," Laura compromised. "And before you feel me up in the middle of Glenn Miller, please remember most of the men in this room know my father."

All your boys are posing for a sexy calendar. Each one is assigned a month, and are allowed to wear whatever outfit, use whatever prop and do whatever pose they want. Can we get a description of what that calendar looks like? Hehehe.
I had to open wordpad to get this all down i hope you know like
I put TOO MUCH THOUGHT into this lol
under cut for suggestive/long
Jan- Macaw-He's wearing just, all the layers. Coats, snowpants, scarves, gloves. He's T-posing, stuck, unable to move. He looks like the kid from A Christmas Story. His BG is a snowy landscape.
Feb- Robin- Valentine's Day themed, a blurry view of a dead couple in the BG, and he's staring the camera down while sexily eating a red Soul.
March-Hound- He's wearing his hoodie and collar, no shirt and is holding the hoodie open to display them bones. His hood is up to add some ~mysteriousness~ as he licks his teeth, and his pants hang low to show off his hipbones.
April- Fox- Wearing a bee themed hoodie, black and yellow sweater, hood up, BG has bees and a light drizzling of rain. He's got a bee umbrella and is looking up with a hand out at the rain.
May- Crow- Fem Ecto formed, blushing and biting his 'lip' as he wears a skimpy but cute sundress that's pulled up to show some thigh, a flower crown on and sitting in a bed of flowers and green with legs to the side.
June- Lupo- Daisy Dukes shorts, shirt tied up into a crop top, sexily leaning over and fixing a vintage car's engine. Sweat and oil on his bones.
July- Jackal- Fem Ecto formed to show off the most skimpy yet classy bikini, sunglasses and hat on, typical sexy beachgoer pose on the beach.
Aug- Jay- Firefighter pants, bare top, holding a firehose wrong, leaning against a fire station trying to look sexy. Ink can be seen dying of laughter in the BG.
Sept- Dingo- Lumberjack getup, with the flannel top open and collar shining, muzzle still on. He's leaning against a tree, one hand in his (really low) jean pocket, the other holding a suspiciously bloody axe that rests on his shoulder. Red haze filters through his muzzle.
Oct- Vulture- He's wearing Michael Myer's jumper, but the top half is off and arms tied around his hips. He's got blood splatters on his thick bones, a knife in one hand and the mask in the other. Large red eye gazing at the 'viewer' with his manic grin. Typical horror scene as a BG... hard to tell if it's fake or real.
Nov- Hyena- Deceptively warm setting, a table with a feast freshly cooked set upon it. He leans forward with claws on the table, nothing but an apron on. His hip bones peeking out some.
Dec- Falcon- Gyftmas setting, tree and fireplace, and he stands there with Santa's boots and pants on. Chest out for display, the black suspenders from the pants hanging down. Sitting in a chair and patting his lap for the viewer to come sit.
BONUS- Polly would make a sexi calendar of them posed against month specific backgrounds and posing appropriately.... in nothing. no ecto just bare boned... And give each of their boys a copy.
