holiday_wishesI hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season this year ❄️
1. Artist recs! I want to buy a new print for my house. I like minimalist art, pastel colors, and art with realistic animals like birds or whales.
2. I'd love recommendations for Japanese tea pot(s) if you have one you really like.
3. I've been wanting to make my wardrobe more masculine and/or androgynous. But I still like clothes that fit, and most men's smalls are way too big for me. I'm 5'2". Any hand-me-downs or store recommendations would be appreciated! Send me a pic and then I'll pay shipping for used clothes if you're in the U.S.
4. Do you have any CDs that still work, that you no longer want? I'm on the hunt for AC/DC, 5 Seconds of Summer (besides Youngblood and EVERYONE'S A STAR), Nickelback, Jonas Brothers, early 2000s country, etc. I'll pay for shipping if you're in the U.S.
5. I've got this tag punch that I was gifted brand new, but I don't need it. If you want it, I'll ship in the U.S. First come, first served. ( Picture under here )
6. I have a lot of scrapbooking paper and odds and ends if you'd like to do a little paper decorations exchange! I'd love to receive some stickers, washi tape, or decorating paper.
7. I'd love more comments or concrit on my original m/m fic about two characters set in 1700s Asia: To Answer His Crown Prince's Request. I've been thinking about writing a part II.
8. A rename token! I've finally decided to rename my journal. I'd also love any tips you have on renaming on DW. Do the links in your own posts all get broken, or is there a way to persevere links?

Merry Everything!
Dec. 11th, 2025 05:08 pmyohjideranged posting in holiday_wishesI hope everyone is doing well. I am going through a mental health breakdown. The last few years battling cancer took its toll. But, I am almost 2 years into remission and I have some wonderful caregivers helping me through this rough patch. So grateful for this community because it gives me a chance to look at everyone's lists to see if there are any wishes that I can grant (which is pretty uplifting right now.) Here's mine:
Gifts for everyone:
Battling Cancer has taught me two things that I really want to pass on.
1. Your time is more valuable than money. Not everyone will be worth your time. For those that are, please tell them how much you care about them and how much they mean to you. Tell them often. Go on that outing, take that picture, call that friend. Anything can and does happen. You never want to regret time lost and you never want them to suffer with your loss.
2. Work on your baggage. Unpack that stuff. A lot of it was hand-me-downs anyway. You down need to carry all that stuff that just weighs you down and makes life harder. Find a therapist, a shadow work book, a faith leader - someone to help you dissect your mental junk drawer and put things in a perspective that heals you. Don’t wait…deal with your baggage so that you can live better now instead of later.
4. Enamel pins - I collect and wear enamel pins - they can be any kind/theme.
5. Whimsical care package - My aesthetic is a combination of goblin/gremlincore, dark fairy/cottagecore, and witchcore. I don’t have any major food allergies or sensitivities. I love nature and nature colors. I believe in fairies, elementals, and forest spirits. But overall, I am a big child so I’m pretty easy to please. I am autistic, so no clothing, lotions, cosmetics, or overpowering smells.
6. Tarot/oracle decks - I collect and read these for myself. I will absolutely take a used, well kept deck.
7. Resources - I am deconstructing from internalized racism, patriarchy, ableism, etc. - I welcome books, sites, Ted talks, or any other resources you may have that would help me on my journey. I am here to listen, learn, and appreciate.
8. Recommendations for books by or about marginalized voices: POC, Native, LGBTQIA, Disabled, etc. Genre doesn't matter, I read everything. This is a princely gift!
9. Music recommendations - Hit me with your latest earworm, favorite band or artist, or song that hits you in the feels. Bonus for a themed playlist (I am on Spotify).
10. Cat food - My boy’s favorite flavors are Fancy Feast Pate tender chicken and liver,; Fancy Feast cod, sol, and shrimp feast; and the delectables chicken and vegetable push up. My boys are Bodhi (16), Wilbur (14), Henry (10), and Jasper (6) and they are all such great cats.
NOTE: I am absolutely ok with hand-me-downs, thrifted, and used items.

3. Movie, series, or documentary recommendations - I'm way behind the curve, so if you have seen something good that you recommend, let me know. I have full access to a library and I am not afraid to use it. Any genre - I also have access to Netflix, Disney, Hulu, HBO/Max, and many free services like YouTube.4. Enamel pins - I collect and wear enamel pins - they can be any kind/theme.

I'm not ridiculously late this year! Whew!
Dec. 10th, 2025 09:45 pmchanter1944 posting in holiday_wishesI made it! Yay! Chanter here, ducking in the door in a shower of newly-fallen snow. Whee!
For a little info about yours truly, I'm a queer, neurodiverse nerdlady living in the U.S. northern Midwest, and this is my... fifth? something like that time participating in this comm. Anyway, here's a handful of wishes. None of them need to cost anything monetarily, though a little time might be involved, especially in 4.
1: If anyone is inclined to have a sniff at my AO3, it's![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
Chanter and kudos and comments are love. :)
2: I seem to link to these every year, but I'm in the habit of playing Freekibble trivia daily. NO sign-up whatsoever necessary, just playing trivia and clicking a button or two for good causes.
3, which dovetails neatly with 2: A DW pal linked me to Arab.org and its handful of click-to-give contribution options, and now I'm in that habit too. Again, no sign-up necessary, just clicking buttons for worthy causes.
4: At one point, someone made me an icon of Back To The Future's Emmett and Clara (I ship them ever so much, ahem) but before I could snag it, the connected comment went... kerboom, never to return. No idea what happened there, but yes, I'd love an Emmett/Clara icon, if anyone's willing. And just so it's out there, I'd really prefer if it weren't furious!Clara and dismayed!Emmett from one particular scene; if you know, you know.
5: Utter frivolousness at this end. If anyone knows of a Stateside source of orange marmalade made to EU standards i.e. properly bitter citrus and not full of a ton of sugar like most of what we get over here, please do clue me in? I wasn't able to bring any home from Ireland when I was over there visiting in 2024, more's the pity. I know this might be iffy to get hold of, considering Stateside tariffs etc, but I figure it's worth a try.
6: This might sound silly, and I absolutely do not mean it to be creepy, but those with pets who appreciate petting, scritches, snuggles etc, please pass some love along? I have no friendly furry creature at the moment (I need to find a local shelter and start volunteering to pet cats again, and I miss my lovebug of a Labrador dearly) so critter happiness by proxy is the best I've got.
7: This is niche, but I would love to find other fans of oldtime radio shows! I know I'm far from the only one out there. If so inclined, come squee at me about your favorite Shadow, or your preferred Johnny Dollar, or how Candy Matson absolutely did not give up her career after - *coughs!* ahem! series's end spoilers! or how fantastic the adventures of Betty Lewis, freelance insurance investigator would be, or just what happened to Janice Corey after a specific Suspense two-parter ended, or... Anyway, fellow folks fond of the golden age of radio, please feel free to drop me a line.

Dec. 11th, 2025 06:52 ammatsushima posting in holiday_wishesHi, I'm Meep (e/em)! I've been around since ye olde ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
holiday_wishes days.
I live in Tokyo and in Japan, they say your 37th year is bad luck for women* and wow, they're not wrong! It's been a doozy and I've got 21 days to go. *There are only two options for this tradition…
Things That Are Free
Things That Cost Money
Big Dream
I couldn't afford these dolls when they were available to buy and now they're almost impossible to find. I'm not asking for one for free (but I also wouldn't say "no"!) but if you have one for sale, please send me a message!
I checked both North America and Asia for my region tags because I live in Japan but I have a mailing address in the U.S.

Things That Are Free
- Icons of my dolls My doll photos are all on Flickr and I would love icons of any/all of them, either drawn or resized/edited in a pretty way.
Icons of me I have a gallery of icons I've commissioned over the years for reference.
Help designing a fursona I'm not a furry but it looks like fun? A few years ago, I sketched out an idea and I'd love for help polishing up his design. (It's not colored but he's a mouse with fawn coloring and deer antlers. His sweatshirt is forest green. Other than that, have fun with the details!)
Things That Cost Money
- Paid Flickr account I'm approaching my 1,000 photo limit for a free account and I hate seeing ads on my stuff.
Dreamwidth points Dreamwidth is my home online and I like to support them with a paid account! (I like the extra icons, too.)
Anything off my Etsy wish list It's a funny jumble of things I like, mostly doll stuff because that's been my hyperfixation for the past few years, and some Judaica for my home.

Fallon's wishes
Dec. 9th, 2025 07:14 pmwe_are_spc posting in holiday_wishesHappy holidays all. It is Fallon once more, although at this point some may know me by other names (Which I won't list here for simplicity's sake). I suppose it's what you get for attending more than a few filk/scifi conventions. LOL
I am job hunting again after losing my job of the last 14 months. That was back in June, and I am still hunting; it's brutal out there y'all.
As for everything else: Mom is moving from Missouri to Indiana to be closer to her sister and myself. Which is turning out better than I had feared, thankfully. Cats and I are still healthy and spry as ever; Minion still plays escape artist even though he's damn near 11 LOL :) I still have my condo, and the neighbors are still fantastic. :)
Without further rambles, however, here are my own slightly recycled set of wishes:
1) cat anything! (Cat toys, cat ornaments, things of that sort, heck even kitty sent Christmas cards). My fur kids are my family, for realz.
2) Gift cards. Amazon, iTunes,, Doordash.
3. clothes for my reborn. She's adorable, and wears 1-3 month clothes.
4. Resources on learning HTML and Markdown. I'm aware of w3schools, and I have visual studio, but anything else is fair game.
5. Yule/winter Solstice holiday cards. I love things like that; and Yule and Samhain are both my favorite holidays. :) bonus points for music recs inside the cards as well.
6)https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2HMTRVK5V2K19?&sort=default
7) Pipe dream change: the Native Instruments A series 61 key controller keyboard. I'm starting to get more into music/reaper usage, and it would be a helluva lot easier to be able to control it from a piano style keyboard than a computer one.
8) Candles. (Woodwick, white Barn, Yankee, to name a few) Scented is better. (Yes, I adore candles. :p)
9) Hot beverages. I adore them in the winter months, especially.
10) gaming anything. Especially ones that are half-way playable as I have a visual impairment. I'm still getting into it, even though it's been about a year or so now. resources, websites, advice on best products/practices. Any of that. :)
Please PM for address for those sending things; provided upon request. That is also for gift cards if anyone wants to email them.
Thank you lot. I've lost track of the times I've participated in this community, and it has been a lovely experience each time. <3 I hope everyone has a blessed holiday surrounded by the ones and things they love most.

Comic: Old Man Yaoi (2025)
Dec. 9th, 2025 05:02 pmlb_leeRogan: It was a tie between "Old Man Yaoi" and "Cult Comix" this poll, but December is dark enough without cultery, so I exercised my blogly fiat. Besides, "Old Man Yaoi" has contextual relevance, because it's about Coming In or Staying Out, which is now officially up for sale in the violet and bubblegum pink Riso edition! $20, 24 pages, printing so pretty you'll want to rub it across your face!

My Pets Would Love Some Toys
Dec. 8th, 2025 10:28 pmdays_unfolding posting in holiday_wishesHello,
I don't need anything for myself, but it would be fun to get a surprise package. (I no longer get Christmas presents because my mom, aunt, and uncle recently died, and my dad doesn't give presents for reasons known only to him. Not meant to be a pity party, it's just the way that it is.)
But anyway, I have three cats and two dogs who would love some toys. (I got them Christmas presents, but no toys.) I have an Amazon wishlist for them, but if you have a toy that your pets really like, we'd love to get it.
My address is:
Adrienne Radzvickas
401 S Anderson St.
Urbana, IL 61801
These are the pets. Cats: Zara, 16, gray; Oliver, 1, orange; Lily, 1, calico. Dogs: Bella, 1, black and white; Gracie, 1, brown, white, and black.

'Tis the season
Dec. 9th, 2025 12:58 pmmerrileemakes posting in holiday_wishesI think this is a lovely idea. This is my first time participating, I'm back on DW after a decade away and really enjoying the community here. Thank you to everyone who's already posted and inspired me, and thank you in advance to everyone who answers a wish!
- I have just bought a tablet and styles to write with and have discovered the joy of digital notebooks, I would love recommendations of sites to get free planner templates and digital stickers.
- I would love any colour palettes, colour inspiration or sources you use for colour combinations. I'm always on the look out for colour combos to use in weaving designs.
- If you post about your hobbies on DW I would love to add you to my reading list! Doesn't have to be fibre craft or any hobbies I'm into, I enjoy learning about almost everything.
- Photos of your cat, your friend's cat, your bodega's cat, your cousin's friend's piano teacher's cat. Bonus if you include a cute comment or story about them.
- Give back to your community in any way you can - donate your cash, time or goodwill to make this hell year a little easier.
- Make space for yourself during the holidays. Say no to an event that you're dreading, go hide from your family that are driving you crazy and scroll on your phone, or block your opinionated uncle on FB. Or do something for you after a stressful or draining event.
- Post about your favourite podcast or audio entertainment in my new comm voiceinmyear
- Buy something, no matter how small, from a BIPOC- or LGBT-run business or creator.
- Be kind to animals. If you're in the southern hemisphere but some water out for the birds, if your in the northern hemisphere put out some food.
- If you're so inclined I would love an Etsy gift voucher. Please ask for my email address.
Deity Swag with Cartoonist Style!
Dec. 7th, 2025 07:02 pmlb_leeComics we got at MICE! All are great!
- BE NOT AFRAID, by LSJM(?) Black, white, and red one-pager that’s like if the angel from Pet was giving you a Trump-era pep talk.
- Secret Black Woman, by Ingrid Pierre. Autobio about anti-black racism, anti-Asian racism, passing, and being biracial.
- Default, by JCJB. Poetry essay watercolor about fighting empire and suffering. We think Phosphor of hungryghosts would like this!
- Prompted: an educator’s response to generative AI in the classroom, by Caroline Hu. Science, chatbots, and college. We think erinptah would like this!
- Cannon Fodder, by Eric Alexander Arroyo. Queer mecha pilots in love during wartime. Got it for the sci-fi library; we have now purchased all three printings of this, haha.
- Maintenance, by Cryptozoology. “What if a robot liked it when their creator performed upkeep on them (in a sexual way) and they were both girls???” Grabbed for sci-fi library.
- Silhouette, by L/V. Navy blue Riso robot porn. May also end up in sci-fi library because the art is so gorgeous.
Season's greasons, friends!
Dec. 7th, 2025 07:14 pmlumiosecity posting in holiday_wishesHi, all! (insert enthusiastic waving here)
I'm Callisto, and this is my first year participating here. I found the community through my Network page, and figured it'd be nice to throw my hat into the ring as well as try to fufill some wishes myself! I think that what's been done here is so cool, and I deeply appreciate the whole endeavor. Wishes are in no particular order, as no structure I could think of really felt right, and are as follows:
1. Dreamwidth points! Dreamwidth has a lot of paid services I'm interested in, so this would be a real treat.
2. Art of my South Park and Teen Titans OCs! Even the smallest of doodles would put me absolutely over the moon. You can find a collection of art to use as reference for Rhiannon (South Park) here, and for Evangeline (Teen Titans) here.
3. Ideas on what to do with empty notebooks! I've got a ton just laying around, and I can only write so much prose and poetry. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
4. Comments on my fics! You can find all of my works collected on AO3 here.
5. Digital gift cards! Specifically, to Amazon, the Nintendo eShop, and JetPens. A good email to reach me is radionewvegas AT proton dot me.
6. Nonfiction book recommendations! I'm in a reading slump at the moment, and I think reading nonfiction will help. Some topics I'm particularly interested in right now are movie, televsion, and animation history, space travel, cults, video game development and design, professional wrestling, theme parks, and comics as an art form and an industry.
7. Give back! The holidays can be a rough time for a lot of people. If you've got money, time, or anything else you can give back to your community, through charity, volunteer work, or whatever other avenue you choose, then it would mean a lot to me and to so many others. It's a smidge unrealistic to wish for world peace, but I figure this is a solid step in the right direction.
8. YouTube channel recommendations! Any channels that talk about the things listed in my wish for book recs would be lovely, as would anything centered around media retrospectives and analysis or TTRPG design.
9. 100x100 icons! In particular, I'd love icons of Kenny McCormick from South Park, Tara Markov and Joey Wilson from DC Comics, and professional wrestler AJ Lee. If you need images to use, I can provide them; just go ahead and ask!
10. Kind words! It's been a rough year, y'all, and I don't know about you, but I'm tired. If anyone's got any kind words to spare, I would very much appreciate them.
That's it! Again, if you need my email, you'll find me at radionewvegas AT proton dot me. Thank you for taking a look at my list, and happy holidays to all!
I'm Callisto, and this is my first year participating here. I found the community through my Network page, and figured it'd be nice to throw my hat into the ring as well as try to fufill some wishes myself! I think that what's been done here is so cool, and I deeply appreciate the whole endeavor. Wishes are in no particular order, as no structure I could think of really felt right, and are as follows:
1. Dreamwidth points! Dreamwidth has a lot of paid services I'm interested in, so this would be a real treat.
2. Art of my South Park and Teen Titans OCs! Even the smallest of doodles would put me absolutely over the moon. You can find a collection of art to use as reference for Rhiannon (South Park) here, and for Evangeline (Teen Titans) here.
3. Ideas on what to do with empty notebooks! I've got a ton just laying around, and I can only write so much prose and poetry. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
4. Comments on my fics! You can find all of my works collected on AO3 here.
5. Digital gift cards! Specifically, to Amazon, the Nintendo eShop, and JetPens. A good email to reach me is radionewvegas AT proton dot me.
6. Nonfiction book recommendations! I'm in a reading slump at the moment, and I think reading nonfiction will help. Some topics I'm particularly interested in right now are movie, televsion, and animation history, space travel, cults, video game development and design, professional wrestling, theme parks, and comics as an art form and an industry.
7. Give back! The holidays can be a rough time for a lot of people. If you've got money, time, or anything else you can give back to your community, through charity, volunteer work, or whatever other avenue you choose, then it would mean a lot to me and to so many others. It's a smidge unrealistic to wish for world peace, but I figure this is a solid step in the right direction.
8. YouTube channel recommendations! Any channels that talk about the things listed in my wish for book recs would be lovely, as would anything centered around media retrospectives and analysis or TTRPG design.
9. 100x100 icons! In particular, I'd love icons of Kenny McCormick from South Park, Tara Markov and Joey Wilson from DC Comics, and professional wrestler AJ Lee. If you need images to use, I can provide them; just go ahead and ask!

Holiday Wishes 2025!
Dec. 7th, 2025 01:21 pmlilliane posting in holiday_wishesHi! I'm Lilliane, a 60 yo person who has chronic illnesses & is disabled, neurodivergent and newly diagnosed with brain cancer (biopsy being performed on 12/9/2025) who is not only looking for some assistance this holiday season but is also looking to help others in this community!
It is my 4th year participating and while it's been a tough year, it's been nothing compared to the last two weeks. Being diagnosed with a brain tumor (Glioma), having a stroke and a seizure is no joke, boys and girls. Not even close.
Some of the things that I would love to give & receive this year are:
1) Correspondence via email or snail mail! Contact me via my Inbox here and I will give you an email address or my snail mail address, whichever is to your liking. It could be exchanging holiday cards, postcards, or even letters/emails throughout the year. I, of course, will be reaching out to those of you who wish for the same.
2) Groceries and prescriptions are more and more difficult to come by, as I think they are for a lot of folks, particularly this year and going into 2026. I would be grateful for any denomination of Walmart, Kroger, or VISA gift cards. Physical ones are fine, please ask for an address (obviously) but probably the quickest and simplest way are probably e-cards.
3) Be of service to your local animal shelter, library, memory home, art program, unhoused shelter, aging agency or city council in your community. It is so important to give back in your community if you are able to! There are so many different ways to be of service, not just monetarily. Even one hour of helping a senior at the library every week learn to use the computer, or bring a neighbor some groceries each week, read to a blind person or a child who is not yet able to read, help the local shelter get dogs out of their cages for a day outside…so many different ways to assist! You can even write letters or send cards to people in nursing homes! Get your kids or spouse involved and have fun with it!
4) I have an Amazon wish list Lilliane's Wish List
I have all sorts of things on here, and trust me, they do NOT have to come from Amazon. If you wish to send them from somewhere else, like walmart.com or even yourself, just ask for my address. My roommate says my list is boring and made me add fun stuff. Not sure how I feel about that. :-)
5) Be kind to each other. It’s free, and I think we can ALL use a bit of kindness each and every day. However, remember to not confuse kindness and niceness, there is a distinct difference!
Thank you for taking the time to read wishes and help each other out! You are all fantastic!

Dec. 6th, 2025 06:40 pmlb_leeRogan: holy shit guys, the color version of Coming In or Staying Out came out GORGEOUS. Just Right Press did an amazing job and I will absolutely be hiring them again! I cannot wait to put it up for sale and show it off!
And it’s been the bestseller at MICE so far! I’ll be working a final shift at table 32 from 11-2 tomorrow on Sunday; be the first on your block to have some pink trans dongs!

If Wishes were kittens…
Dec. 7th, 2025 12:18 amsabethea posting in holiday_wishesHello, I participated in this back in LJ days and then I have on and off on here. I hope to be able to fulfill some wishes for other people. I’m Sab, 47, chronically ill, mostly bedbound person who tends to gain a new!exciting! illness each year. I’m also trans genderqueer, and being trans and disabled in the UK right now is not the most fun thing. Otoh, I have a lovely supportive spouse who is also my carer, and a fantastic son, plus two cats. So yay? Yay.
Please comment or message if you need my physical address for anything. As I say, I am in the UK.
1. If people could send good thoughts, light candles, petition their gods etc to make my Dad well, that would be the best Christmas present I could get. He’s had two bleeds on the brain in the last fortnight and it’s been really scary, involving two lots of brain surgery and concerns about survival prospects. So worldwide good thoughts aimed our way would be good.
2. Because I am incredibly wishful today, I would love someone (not AI!) to write new BBC Merlin Merlin/Arthur fics which are over 20k (the longer the better, tbh: there’s nothing more exciting than a new, good, long fic that I know will keep me going at least a day). HEA a must, and no infidelity or miscarriages, but otherwise I read pretty much anything. (If you wrote me Teen Wolf Stiles/Derek or Peter/Stiles with the same criteria, I would be exceedingly happy, too.)
3. I would love Christmas decorations if anyone wanted to send me any. A lot of ours are old and tatty, apart from a few I’ve been gifted through this through the years. It’s a sort of Christmas wishlist tradition. (Please dm me for address if you don’t know it)
4. I’d love comments on my NON-Harry Potter fics on AO3, if anyone felt like reading any of the other things I’ve written there as iamisaac. (BBC Merlin mainly, also Teen Wolf, Chalet School, Malory Towers, and many more)
5. Anything from my Amazon wish list would be great https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1WPQ37WC4CXCI/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2
6. Help and advice on setting up a trans website and meeting group for people local to me would be appreciated, bearing in mind that we have no money and I can’t get out much (there are further complications which make it sound like I’m being as difficult as possible and I’m not, life is).
7. Buy my books! They make great gifts for other people…though perhaps not people with very conservative right wing values. Either by Penelope Friday (Petticoats and Promises, The Sisterhood - lesbian historical fiction) or PA Friday (the Maths series: Love Plus One, One Plus One, Three’s The Charm - contemporary erotic gay ménage fiction), available at Bella/Nine Star Press (linked) or Amazon and various others.
8. Cat toys would be appreciated by the furrier members of our household, I am sure. Especially ones that stimulate them when people aren’t around to play with them as I’m sometimes not up even to cat company.
9. Assuming you do feel that way, I’d really appreciate it if you were open about your belief in trans rights, and your sympathy towards immigrants and disabled people (particularly with mental illnesses or autism/ADHD). There’s an unbelievable amount of crap being thrown at the moment and not enough regular people saying “that’s not okay” loudly when someone says something unkind.
10. Anyone want to buy me an electric wheelchair which works in the rain, can manage difficult terrain, and has a headrest?! (This is a joke request really, they’re about ten grand, but gods, I could really do with one. I can’t go out alone at the moment, ever.)
