It was very much meant as a goofy alt-universe take on Peanut Butter Crunch, which was my favorite cereal growing up 😅
I have an important question for @magicariot.com
What cereal was the inspiration for Peanut Butter Crunchlins?

I devoured both the original and this sequel with a zeal not seen since my college days!

never forget the true meaning of Christmas is trying to convince Santa's pikemen to stop present delivery so that the evil centipedes put into gifts by the yokai won't cause belief in Santa to plummet

circling back around to this because I really can't get over how cute and good my girls are and how much I love seeing folks do art of them 🥹
For the first time in what feels like forever, I made some art! It's fanart of @magicariot.com's delightful queer magical girl series Magica Riot, in the style of that one cute eyecatch from Sailor Moon R

...the best "Xmas episode" despite not really *being* one officially is, to me, "Jack Frost," because "Jack Frost" is actually kind of a lovely and fascinating and cool movie, like all the Russo-Finnish movies they watched tended to be. It's my fav of them all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=caKO...

of the actual MST3k Xmas episodes, I think "Santa Claus," the one where he fights the devil, is the most memorable. "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" is less so despite the title. "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't" is kind of a nothing movie, and "The Christmas Dragon" is decent fun, but... (cont)

I just found out the real-life hotel the Grand Sovereign was based on - the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Portland - has a Christmas dinner that costs $250 per person and you know what, I don't think I was hard enough on the people behind it
That last reskeet is exactly the kind of thing I was calling out in the first book

It’s Christmas morning and the children refuse to open presents until everyone agrees to say nice things to Mark Cuban. It is known as “the Children’s Kindness Revolution”

makes me feel nice knowing all us in this lil circle are spending Christmas Eve talking to our fellow broke queers, sharing art, having a generally lovely time of it, & Mark Cuban is busy arguing with randos about why he thinks universal healthcare is bad while complaining about "virtue signaling"
