Secret Santa!!

HAPPY ANGEL'S BIRTHDAY DAY!!!

And Merry Christmas, too. We hope each and every one of you, whether you celebrate the holiday or not, have a wonderful day and an even better new year. You're all so very dear to us, and we love you very much.

And now let's get to gift giving! If you want to, today is the day to throw off your capes and masks and reveal your true identities! Or to keep your recipient guessing and slip off into the night, forever mysterious! It's also a day of celebration for all. Didn't play this year? Have something for someone who wasn't assigned to you? Doesn't matter, have at it! Spread cheer willy nilly and shower each other with love and presents. Today is a free-for-all and anything goes.



NOTES: Passwords for various uploading sites, galleries, the game anon account, etc., are available here. For those of you who'd like to play around with some Photoshop but don't have access, Pixlr is a fantastic online alternative that comes close. And remember, if you're posting pictures, they won't show up in an anonymous comment, so for those kinds of comments, it's better to use the citysecrets account.

Kaitlyn,

I hope you've enjoyed your kitties, tunes, and art. There's about 200 DW points coming your way shortly too. A Merry Christmas to you and some well earned kudos too:

You have so much heart. That's the first word that comes to mind. It's no wonder you love Inside Out because you feel things so fully and so genuinely and it also comes out in your RP and how great your pups are. Whether they're dark and troubled or sunshiney as all get out, they feel real and wonderful.

<3

WELL, this made me cry. Ria, you are so talented and so generous. I can't thank you enough for being such lovely Santa and providing me with such amazing art (and tunes! and kitties!) I'm going to print these out and display them because they've made me smile so much and they're so damn good.

And thank you for the points! They will be put to good use.

Thank you.

Welp, that icon was more angsty than I intended. But it's Disney, so. HAVE ANNA.

Merry Christmas!

And let me know if you'd like any higher-res versions of the drawings or anything. I sized them down a bit for the page.

Also I haven't yet gotten a confirmation email for the DW points so I hope everything went through. If it doesn't just give me a poke <3

[kaitmaree]

Points have arrived! And I'd love high-res so I can print them nice and crisp. Merry Christmas right back 'atcha, lovely!

[alltheircrimesarejust]

I will have them to you soon!

ALSO! I FORGOT!

When was looking at Mindy's journal, it said that her dad teaches at Lesley College. Funnily enough, Lesley University is where I lived and studied for my undergrad, so I made an image board for them too.



Left to right: One of the Victorians where they keep a lot of admin, one of the newer dorms that's built over a Hi Rise Bakery, on Massachusetts Avenue (Mass Ave), the "information commons" that they built in my last year there, a view of the quad from the edge of the amphitheater (you can see Doble, where the gym and information commons are and which was my dorm freshman year), the student center, the dining hall, a basketball court that I didn't even know we had with a mascot no one cared about, and one of the dorms at Brattle Campus, nicknamed Hogwarts. You can see the window of my sophomore year dorm there.

Lesley's main campus is across the road from Harvard and the Brattle Campus is two blocks away from the American Repertory Theater as well as the site of Radcliffe College. Both are ten minute walks from Harvard Square with a red line T-station and a lot of hipsters panhandling.

SO IF YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT A PLACE MINDY MIGHT HAVE FREQUENTLY VISITED THERE YOU ARE.

UM, THIS IS AMAZING and I adore it and I have so many New York visuals but no Cambridge/Boston/MA visuals for her so THANK YOU. You are so thoughtful (and the campus looks beautiful.)

I will always, and happily, provide what information I can about that area <3
