It's the season of GIFTS GIFTS GIFTS

[indigo_league]

With Christmas scooting ever closer, it's time to start thinking about the real reason for the season and that is gifts. Yes, yes, joy to all, peace on earth etc etc, but deep down what we all want to do is tear some wrapping paper off boxes and be dazzled by the contents.

In order to keep things a bit organised, we'll be putting this up as a central gift-giving post, and it will feature three things.

★★ Arceus' gift As many of you long term players might already know, Arceus tends to drop a few gifts on the people he has brought here on Christmas day. And this year is no different! These gifts will be revealed on December the 25th, so please check back then to see what your character will be receiving. And yes, these gifts will go out to all. Arceus doesn't judge. Maybe he should, but he doesn't. ★★ Secret Santa Though these gifts won't officially be delivered until the 25th, this post will also feature a thread where you can post up the gifts your character has gotten their Secret Santa recipient. Feel free to start posting these up as soon as this post goes up (we are not going to make you wait) ★★ Your gifts And finally, your gifts! If your character is the kind to get their friends a bunch of things, feel free to use this post to distribute the offerings. Much easier than hitting up a bunch of inboxes! If you would rather distribute your characters' gifts individually in various inboxes, feel free to do so! This post is merely an option for people who'd like to keep things in one central location.

Now with that all out of the way, let us take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas (or, at the very least, a nicely adequate Thursday if you don't celebrate). 2020 has been Quite the year, and I don't think any of us could've predicted it turning out this way. (Turns out none of us had 20-20 vision). But we've made it through and while the times are still somewhat uncertain and unforeseen, we nevertheless hope it will all be looking up from here on out for all of us.

We want to thank you all for being such lovely players and for having contributed to the game as you did! Thank you for ruining baseball, for coming to Sinnoh with us, for Prom being Prom yet again, for submitting so many badge requests and for slipping in every app that you did.

And onwards to 2021, another year for pokemon shenanigans and nonsense!

I am so sorry to everyone that Jolyne is very, very rarely a serious gift giver at any possible moment.

Carly is getting a special present that is much too NSFW for y'all, but just know that there's different versions of A Particular Sweater Meme out there.

Erina is getting a cute banana leaf parasol along with a sterling silver necklace that is one of those kitschy charm ones that has a little heart with her and Jonathan's initials and then the first names of their stupid family. Excluding Giorno and Josuke as she doesn't know they exist, oops.

Jonathan is getting the cutest goddamned Arcanine plush because she knows what she's doing, obvs. He gets a matching bracelet to Erina's ridiculous necklace with the same stipulations as above.

Johnny gets a cute baby galarian ponyta plush. Eat shit, Johnny.

Emporio gets a sylveon kigu because that's now an inside joke. And also just an IOU for some quality-ass time.

Foo gets a lime green puffy jacket with her initials on the back!!!! Make it as gaudy as you want, Kitty, I know how you be.

Chloe is going to get some saucy photos because she's a jerk and also a really, really nice coat. Crosses can be removed/added as wanted.

Steven gets a ridiculous hat

Emet is going to get a pair of slippers because she's a jerk yet it's also useful.

Dirk is going to get a mysterious egg with a note that says "you're full of this". Said egg with hatch into a tauros. Don't ask where she got this egg from.

Lance (the E4 one) gets to feel her wrath via an album of dragon butts with a note on the front that says "Since I know you have a weird fetish for dragons. Enjoy. Love, Jolyne". Lance, why are you still accepting her messages.
