SA of Austria any update on the issue with customs? It looks like the card still hasn't moved since the 10th

SV of CA your gift has arrived safe and sound. I almost spoiled myself from opening the box because I thought stuff would be wrapped but I didn't see anything but a black card and the bubble wrap

Dear CB from GA
Your card arrived to Germany this week. I planned to already post on Monday, but I was suddenly banned from all boards for a violation of global rule 5 lmao. Sorry! Here's what I tried to post back then:
Thank you, I love the card very much. The physicality of it and the coloring is also really nice. Good choice drawing Miku, you should definitely give the anime another try and root for the cutest, Miku, I think it can be a big plus if girls have a fleshed out intellectual interest in something, japanese history in her case or astronomy in the case of the foom. Thanks for including Trude and the Hibike girls as well. You say it's mainly for protection but it's also a nice thing to look at, it even smells nice.
In terms of recent anime I watched, I guess there wasn't a lot this year. Roshidere was alright and I've picked up Re:Zero again, but I think I watched more old stuff than new. I will definitely give "Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku" a try, the trailer looks promising. I was reminded of Horimiya for some reason which is another great one from Cloverworks, even though the style may be closer to Dress-up Darling
Tbqh my Christmas season hasn't been great until now, but anons' cards make it a lot better. I will do my best to enjoy the rest of it, I feel a bit more capable today. Thanks again and I also hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Vincent of Spain, got in contact with Spanish Customs and unfortunately they have decided my card and chocolates are over €150 of value and have seized the card until I provide documentation of the price of every little thing (which will unfortunately reveal it is subject to VATs. Here's a picture of the letter you were going to receive. If customs ever returns the letter I'll try and send it back out to you.

Looks like I'll be eating pussy again this year!

Another rare pick by VV from France with super festive Noriko and Kazumi. Yellow subs are a great touch and I love the space effect! The washi tapes are very coote, too (now that I look I didn't take a picture of them lol).

I can be a bit of a grump sometimes so if my words ever come out that way, please don't take me too seriously, I'm genuinely super happy to see you again. I had a lot of trouble with motivation this year as well, August wasn't the best month for me this year so it took me a while before I got over my shit and could focus on the merry stuff. Sometimes we just have to keep struggling. Know that we're both here forever and I love you the way only a heterosexual man can love another heterosexual(???) man, as the ancient Greeks intended.

I like Dungeon Meshi a lot and was very pleasantly surprised by the adaptation this year, I'm super excited to see how they handle the second half of the manga. It's also one of the very few series I can sort of talk about with my irl friends, I was surprised by the assortment of people who actually watched it.

Dying to find out what you have in store for me, in the meantime I have already attacked the sweets you included and I'm hooked on the marshmallow bears. I assumed they're gingerbread at first so the first bite was very confusing. Well, see you again in a few days!

I've received my first cards this year and gift! But first, posting some cards from last year that I haven't gotten around to since they arrived after last thread was posted
JH from Singapore,I hope you're still around because I WILL find you and I WILL love you (no homo). I almost didn't get your card because the post office failed to notify me (they would've sent it back), but I was checking tracking so just went there and asked for it.
Thank you for this absolutely beautiful homocard. You have gifted me not one, but two Getos, this is my wildest lewd dream. What's better than one deranged husbando? TWO. I love the expressions so much and fully agree that long haired version is the bestest.
>calling Barnaby a fuckboy nerd
anon pls,he has suffered enough,I do hope you get to watch Tiger&Bunny because it's genuinely fun
the little doodles are so cute and I admit I questioned the same thing about Kurama's tail,it really makes you think,doesn't it? the dual human/yoko form with the shikishi is such a creative touch,I love the sparkly foils you chose as well
Your Gattsu is very comfy, I am happy he is finally getting some well deserved rest
I'll post the extras in the following post.

Also thank you for the K-ON! extra I really like it and while put it in one of my K-ON! displays.

Don't worry, you're not getting grinched! I'm waiting on the arrival of a few more things for your gift which I ordered in early November. Once the things I ordered for you finally arrive (which should be soon), your gift will be headed out the door and should arrive quickly, given our proximity
If you would like though, I could get your card scanned tomorrow and send it digitally so you can see it before Christmas.

Sad to be a leaf this year... Can't receive nor spread joy...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news RH but you appear to have made the mistake we all fear: you put the wrong card in the wrong envelope. I am certainly not Canadian, I'm PG from UK
It is a nice card though and I did enjoy DIY, I'm perfectly happy to keep the card if whatever anon receives mine is fine keeping that. If you give me their initials maybe I can request them for cards next year and send it then

Those low-effort cunts held the public hostage for a 25% wage increase while working for a company they know is actively dying. When all the 'temporary students' are kicked out I hope they're brought in to fill in the staff shortage at Tim Hortons so they can find a way to fuck up operating the cream dispenser.

>>274288304
Thanks for the update. The same issue has held up my own parcel so it's fine. I leave it up to you, I sent santa pics of all my cards to distribute out to assignments since they're definitely going to be late, but given the circumstances I'm not living and dying by a deadline.

Second pack with snacks is from CL of Brazil and after being stuck in customs for more than it took to actually reach my country,I managed to pick it up.
damn anon,you really packed some goodies here,I love peanut stuff so those 2 little crunchy things have been basically inhaled the second I opened the box. I tried 2 of those chocolate egg shaped crunchy snacks (the ouro) too and they're delicious, can't wait to try the rest too!
I have enough sweets to last me many weeks, thank you anons for the high blood sugar!
The card is so creative and cute,I did not notice Sheryl was naked at first,I love her confused expressions,the stacked pengus,the lever,them handing the bottle to nyanko sensei and longcat, too good,I love it!
A kurisumasu themed Princess of the Crystal is a really nice touch,you nailed it, and the little stars are very on theme.
And don't worry, you got Sheryl's color right, I'd definitely push you to watch Macross Frontier, do it anon!
>2011 was 32 year ago
we're getting old by the second aren't' we?
that Haruhi looks very flustered but damn,how good is your eyesight to draw so small,I'm so envious.
I-if you would like a thank you card please let me know,the sugar from all these sweets is enough to power me for a few cards Valid for Italy anon too if you read this.

and if you were serious about crafting this card last minute, that's even more impressive with how well it was done, but no procrastinating next year please, think of what you could accomplish with time alongside your fantastic artistic skill!
good luck with watching through Endless Eight this year and a very Merry Christmas to you!

AS of Ireland Your card was attempted to be delivered but it looks like it didn't work. Santas should have forwarded you the invoice and shipping label. Were you able to contact UPS to see what's going on and why they weren't able to deliver it?
ADoG of Spain (A Denizen of Gile): Santas should have forwarded you the invoice and shipping label for the card. I had another anon in Spain provide me their email and phone number and I conveyed that info to UPS. They later contacted him and he indicated that "they wanted me to sign a few documents" and now his card is in customs clearance process according to tracking. You should do the same; contact UPS and figure out what they need from you to get clearance info moving. Unfortunately your card will likely be delayed until after Christmas if you're not already in clearance queue.

Hello KN of ON, RPH here, I received your package/card. First of all, thank you so much for everything you sent, you went above and beyond. You were worried that it wouldn't make it in time but it absolutely did. I only signed up for cards this year so I was not expecting getting a whole box of goodies. The Yuno card was very cute, I especially enjoyed the stickers matching the sentiments of what you wrote, it was a nice touch. Thank you very much for the cool wooden coaster as well, I always keep a bottle on my desk so it'll be a nice addition.

I should probably ask as well, are you the same person that anti-grinched me a few years ago? If so, I'd like to apologize to you for not giving a proper answer after you spoiled me with gifts back then (I still use the Yui cup by the way). I was moving back to my parents place at the time so the timing was a bit off but still, I should've at least sent you a thank you card since I had your address. You've been way too kind to me twice now, if there's anything I can do to make it up to you, I'd like to know. You can contact me at t3mailrm@gmail.com if needed, if not, at least let me know of some of your favorite characters and series so that I can send you something nice in return.

Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!

XAM of CA very, very sorry for cutting it so close; I really wanted to get this handmade gift perfected before sending it out, but my skills are much worse than I initially estimated.
I'll be shipping the gift that isn't handmade tomorrow, since you deserve to have at least something to open on Christmas. I'll send you the other gift as soon as it's done.

Thank you so much for the edited Aki card! She looks adorable and while I haven't watched as much as I'd like to, I've had a fine year. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the 20 bucks, I almost feel obligated to actually use it for 4chan gold lmao. I'll use it for some fun stuff as a birthday present since that's tomorrow!

>>274287409
Well thank god you got it in time. I wrote your letter first so I just dumped all the foul mood I had on you, sorry about that.Im actually still finishing up 9 more cards for friends, they're never getting them on time, and I'm tired out of my mind. We're all good now so let's forget about the depressing stuff. I love you too, for real. Let's have a nice christm/a/s.
No cheating this year with wrapped sweets. All up front. I feel kind of bad that my gift looks so tiny and lame, especially since in this bracket people tend to go overboard and add gifts upon gifts, but I hope you find it neat. Since we've interacted before, I tried thinking about something you'd enjoy.
Love.

AAAAAH Thank you so much! Where do I even start here? Your Ryuko is cute and has tons of attitude and the watercoloring is super nice and delicate, the Mako pencil drawing censorship fits her character well and is fun, and the bonus Satsuki comic is really charming and has great expressions! I like the constellation tape you used for the border as well.
And holy shit, thanks for the candy as well! I've dipped into the chocolate already and it's really great.
In honor of you, anon, I'll rewatch Kill la Kill again and decide for sure whether I prefer Satsuki or Ryuko. Next year there won't be any maybes. Though a perhaps or probably might not be out of the question.
Coloring white clothes is a pain isn't it? It can feel empty if you just leave it white, so the natural idea is the use shadows, but do you use actual grey, or maybe a light blue or a purple? It's tough, eh?
I don't know what else to say but thank you and merry christmas.

I got three amazing cards this week. The first one is from CP of VA
Last year I posted about how nice your cards were and lucked out by getting one of my own delivered a few hours later. I lucked out again and got another one for the second year in a row!
I love your art style, and your Mitsuki is no less beautiful than your Ichigo. I’ll cherish them both forever.
Thank you for the kind words about drastically improving your life this year, I did not realize me introducing you to Aikatsu music would bring you such happiness and fortune, while also improving your taste in anime.
Your secret is safe with me, but I am disappointed in you for not yet watching Aikatsu.
Thank you again anon, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Thank you so much for the lovely Kiyal card and all the treats! I wasn’t having a good day on the day that it was delivered, and it greatly improved my mood when I got home and saw that it was waiting for me. I always put Kiyal on my list, but people rarely draw her so its always fun to get a card of her.
I tried watching Nana in the past, and I don’t remember what made me stop watching it. Funny enough, about a month ago I thought about giving it a try again and I have it downloaded and ready to watch. Since you mentioned it, I’m going to put it higher on my to watch list and give it another go next year.
Thank you again, the treats were really good and I hope that your new job goes well and that you have a great Christmas and New Years!

Your art is really cute, and the 3d pop up element looks great! This is definitely one of the coolest card style’s I’ve seen. Thank you so much, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I'm glad to see one of my card from last year!
I have to scarp intial art, because I just doesn't like how it turned it out. From this year, I actually have begun add my discarded art into the cards as extras.
But you are in luck, I still have the lewder one it in my archives!
I wish you a Merry Christmas and have a great New Year!

>how good is your eyesight to draw so small,I'm so envious.
Well, guess I'll tell you my secret: I have high myopia, so when I want to focus on something I have to pretty much glue my very greasy face to it. Sorry anon, that's how your card was made, and not only Haruhi.
Might as well tell my other secret too: the original idea was to draw speedo Barnaby but just thinking about his stupid homosexual hair made me tear up so I reworked an idea I had at the beginning instead.
>I'd definitely push you to watch Macross Frontier, do it anon!
I'm "already" halfway through it but some stuff happened and now I'm not in the mood to watch cartoons at all. I'll finish it as soon as things calm down.
>I-if you would like a thank you card please let me know
Don't worry, I'm cool. Having my cards not sink into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean or be forever lost in the Bermuda Triangle is all I need for Christmas.

I don't know if you noticed but you should be able to peel them off.

Got this GAR as fuck card from JM of MD.
Had a big goofy grin pulling this out of the box; this is definitely the best-dressed card I've received. I can't imagine the effort you had to put in to make something like this, especially with how layered it is. I'm just not hotblooded enough to comprehend the manly art of dress-making...
>Stupid cat drawing
Extremely cute drawing, anon; I like how Akari's hat squishes as she gets BTFO. I formally apologize to Aria-shachou for any slights I may have made against him. Also, what did you use to color this? I'm impressed by how clean it looks.
The candy is very appreciated, and the fact it seems to be local to you makes it even more special. I already snacked on most of the chocolate.
I actually got your card last week, but didn't have time to post it until now; my bad if I had you worrying whether I received it or not. I really appreciate the card, and I hope you have a very merry Christm/a/s, /a/non! If I hypothetically were to send a thank you card, is the return address on the box an okay place to send it?

>>274293152
If you are an immigrant in the country you live in, "name surname of country" very well might be a unique identifier.

MK from Finland, your gift is well on the way. But I noticed a few days after sending it that the card is still sitting on my other desk. I forgot to put it in the package. I'll send the card seperately, but it's gonna be way too late for christmas.

Cannot recc ping pong enough to you, was there a reason weren't able to watch it on the autism stream? Anyways, thank you for the awesome card and I can't wish you a happier new year anon!

To anybody scrolling that is wondering about the deleted post, it was an anon that posted somebody's full name in the thread and when called out on it, he claimed that the anon didn't give him initials. He did not understand the concept of taking somebody's full name and making the initials himself to post.

I love the drawings of Miku and Ononoki, they turned out really good! Glad you gave DIY a shot, it's such a fun anime. Unfortunately the glue you used isn't quite holding in some spots but I should be able to fix it before some of it falls off. Anyhow, very cute card, greatly appreciated! Hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year as well!

For my whitelist cards I had the issue with the postages last thread, the lady in the counter told me they needed more postage, like what the fuck? The one in CA had already 2 stamps. I told her to go hang in a tree during christmas and sent your cards with the fastest priority shipping so you guys receive them before xmas hopefully.

By the way S from PA you got my wife as a match and sent her a card with cookies, they were good ! Can't believe they didn't have jizz.

I’m glad it finally made it to you. I’m not sure if you got tracking and looked at it, but it definitely looks like it made it to your city and then got loaded onto the wrong truck and took an extra 300 mile journey before coming back. In the end both characters are good picks. I’m glad it wasn't a disappointment I picked the character that may have been second best. I like to try and play off what people write, but started to second guess that decision part way through. You can send a thank you if you want, but don’t feel obligated. If we are both here forever anyway, we will likely be matched up in the future.

>>274293535
No worries on the delayed posting. I know that happens and I didn’t have any doubt you would get to it with the way you wrote the wishlist. Getting out my sewing machine for the first time in a while was a fun project. I actually had to remove layers since I initially went a bit overboard on poof. A good goth loli needs poof, but it makes for an unwieldily card. The card was done in water color. The candy are in fact from a local shop, with chocolates made in house. As I mentioned to the other anon, you can send a thank you to the return address, but don’t feel obligated. We can alway let fate match us up on a future Christmas.

I cant refuse food and my cards and gift sent me a bunch this year. I've probably already gained two pounds. rip

MK from Canada, your card arrived a few days ago. Thank you for the cute Mahoro card, though to set the record straight I DID clarify which Mahoro it was when you asked which one in one of the early threads. Though in fairness I didn't realize just how many Mahoros there were in anime so I'll make sure to specify which one going forward.
Thanks for the lovely origami. I assume it's a frog, though I don't know origami enough to know for sure, regardless I love it.
Have a wonderful Christmas.

I'm glad the card made it to you safe and sound and that you like it! Your kind words always mean a lot to me <3 Truth be told, the idol shift has been a long time coming, but there's nothing to be done about it now. For what it is worth, Aikatsu is on the "yeah, I'll get to it one day" list, but I have a bad habit of picking up a ton of seasonal shows which fill up my already limited anime watching time. I get to listen to music all day at work, so it is much easier for me to clear through lots of music instead of shows these days. Regardless, I'm glad you're happy with it and I'll probably watch Aikatsu eventually!

Well SW of NY I think I finally have your card coming. Let me tell you, it's almost like a joke. After the first one sitting at the post office for a week, I figured they just threw it out or something so I made a new one. Not that it'd change much, but the day I finish the new one the post office decides to start processing return to sender on the first card. No biggie, it is what it is, and I bring the 2nd card in to get shipped. Turns out my paper on my printer was fed ever so slightly creased so that the barcode wouldn't scan and I had to go home and print yet another label and come back the next day to try again. Surely 3rd time is the charm and this attempt will make it to you. Santas should have passed on tracking information and, if this one doesn't make it, I might not be able to hold it together

What happened to the anon that got his match just an artbook?

Very relieved to see it even managed to arrive before Christmas. Mailing to Asian spots always seems to be sluggish and I had to use a weird third party courier to get it out of the country. I never asked about which Mahoro you meant though, I committed to the shotgun blast route immediately. Might have been the other one who asked.

Also the origami is a turtle.

Kurisu Masu from GA (I'll be disappointed if that's not your real name) your card is here! I was a bit confused when I saw Ichigo in your card. I mean, I love her (she's our lord an savior after all) but she's not the Aikatsu girl that I mentioned on my list. Then I noticed the hidden axe behind the flowers and all the Totono Vietnam flashbacks start coming back (in a good way). You freakin' genious. I didn't even know it was possible to combine Aikatsu and Totono in such a unique way, but here we are. What an amazing card, I love you (platonically).
By the way, you are correct. I'm the anon who replied to you with a Kaleido Star image and I'm glad that made you download the anime. Please watch Kaleido Star, I promise it's good. And finally, about Jewelpet. You're not the first anon to tell me that I should watch that, and you guys are usually right when you give me recommendations. So I'll probably watch it... some day. Please understand, first I need to watch every single Aikatsu anime. There are too many of them. Thaks again for your card, Merry Christmas!

So whatever happened to the Brotherhood of the traveling p/a/nties?

I received them first, passed them along and I think that guy did too, but I don't think anyone did after that. What the fuck /a/?

Part 1/3: The gifts.
I'll wait until the 25th to open the main gift because that warning on the envelope scares me and I don't want the contents to spontaneously disintegrate. Until then, let's talk about the secondary gifts.
What a beautiful human being you are. Even if you told me that these books were my main gift I'd be perfectly okay with that. Can't wait to read Alice in particular, I'm sure that after doing that I'll understand Subahibi's deep lore even better. Thank you.

(If the books are only the secondary gifts, what's hiding inside the main one? What could be better than fine British literature? I'm scared.)

Ah, yes. My beautiful cardfu, Abyss Actor - Leading Lady! Or Pretty Heroin in Japanese. She's not allowed to be pretty in the TCG because Konami of America hates pretty things. A shame that she's not very helpful in her own deck, but I still play her because why wouldn't you include your card waifu on every single decklist? Also, it was a really smart idea to draw Abyss Actor - Extras holding the 2025 numbers. Really cute card, I wish you could have seen the dumb smile that I had on my face when I saw it. Thanks again.

(One day Konami will make new Abyss Actor support and Pretty Heroin will become unstoppable, just wait.)

I'll make a post for my anons after I post my card pictures. Thank you for the Pokemon cards, I don't really collect them but I have some so I'll add it to my little collection. I'll be honest the background of your card made me think that your card was AI for a second but who cares, I'm glad you used a classic Quattro shitting on Kamille with your photoshop. I like Kamille b/c he is an autistic wild card who gets shit done but I understand why people dislike him. Also not to sound illiterate but what did you write around the end of your card? Was it gut coveatte or something, its kinda hard to tell. Regardless, thank you so much for the card and I hope you have a Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!

Part 3/3: Everything else, including the two cards that you sent me back in February and June because I never posted them before.
What the fuck man, now I owe you at least three cards. Wait until I start feeling better, I have some crazy ideas that need to be released. Thanks again for everything, you are a precious person and you deserve the best of lifes. And now I'll go back to bed because the cold is killing me, pray for my soul.

By the way, how could send French chocolates and NOT British chocolates? Come on man, send something from your land next time! (They were delicious, me and my grandma already ate all of them).

>>274294245
Thanks for posting the card. It was a bit pricey to ship, but I have very few expenses at the moment, so I don't mind spending some money on this event. I definitely should have used a bit of super glue on the edges of the paper pieces in order to really lock them into place; seems like the glue stick I was using just isn't cutting it. I'm really proud of that Miku, but I kinda messed up on the Ononoki in multiple ways. I was too burnt out to try to redo it, so I just stuck it on there and called it a day.

BA of NY, that extra package came in just fine, fortunately got thrown in the mailbox since it was kinda rainy this week.
BoR of NY your package should've made it there early this week, address stuff was a little weird, so hopefully it made it there without any issues.

MS from Poland, thank you so much for the card and gifts! I think I ruined your beautiful rin collage from opening and closing your card too much, it was so cool how it propped up like a flower! What kind of arts and crafts skills do they teach you in Poland? Don't worry your card arrived on time, I think it came on Tuesday. Thank you for the snacks, I'm eating some of the mint chocloate and it taste great. But the real highlight for me is the jazz album you gave me, I love the photoshopped Rin playing the piano like in the original album, I'll definitely take a listen to the album Bruno(I'm referencing the polish pianist from Blue Giant Supreme, I'm not doxxing you or anything). Thank you so much for the cards and Gifts, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Fuck me, I'm really sorry about that. I remember exactly what happened too. I took cards out of their specific mailers because I realized they were missing a detail, added said detail, then put them back in the wrong fucking bubble mailers. If this is a three way screw up I'm blacklisting myself. And yes, that was intended for RPH of Canada

Going to be getting around to posting the cards I've gotten now that I'm back at my folks home and can start opening up envelopes

First up, thank you Shinobu Oshino for the Seras watercolor, and the tasty tasty caramels. It made me realize I've been missing that candy quite a bit. I liked your enthusiasm about your favorite strains of monstergirls as well. To answer your question, I'm a fan of foxgirls, with their cute fangs and fluffy big ears and even fluffier bigger tails. Isn't it true that those things add everything one could want in the perfect degrees of excess, while nothing is lost? On a more adventurous day I might say manticore because of my thoughts about those teeth in that... tail and what it could do to my fingers but there is also something amazing about the simple truth that I think every foxgirl would believe themselves to be some top of the food chain apex predator while everyone knows they would also topple at the gentlest glancing touch. The other day I saw that parasitic fox ears image and thought that perhaps some kindly mad scientist should just subject the world to such a plague, for the civic beauty above all else. I just hope I can get my ears and tail someday... really. I'm quite normal about them.

Merry Christmas Moo Logistics and thank you for the truly maximum kawaii card! The kind words are appreciated, it's mostly been long discord vcs for the helldivers update and monster hunter fuelled by eggnog and less browsing anything, but I did pick up some hot chocolate today and so will try some of that with marshmallows on top. Oh my, thank your artist friend too very kindly for drawing these two cuties so lovey-dovey and soft and squishable. I really liked the foxes episode, they seemed just pleasantly domestic and complimentary of each other's comforts and preferences in a way that just felt so right, and having something of them I can put my wall will make me very bubbly. This is one for the bedside gallery.

Merry Christmas FV of Italy, I'm glad your card was able to make it here in time. It travelled quite the distance. Dungeon meshi! Dungeon meshi! Where can I even begin? I followed the manga through my high school years because I heard there was a cute monster girl in it and I stayed for the cooking, and character chemistry, and the little lessons about not becoming mired in any preoccupied stage of life, to just keep moving even if it was out of spite or to taste something good the next day. I got out of high school, got less self-conscientious, and then I was watching the anime as I cooked in my little apartment kitchen. I did however have a truly unique experience watching the episode with Fallin/Falyn/Farlyn's (sheesh) murder spree out of my mind with a 102F fever's delirium. Perhaps the only time where I found myself lucky to be so sick physically that it made being sick in the head all the easier.
On militaria, I'm getting a cute military lolita dress as a present for myself for Christmas, and I have actually read Groundless. I found the MC a determined but discomposed dork that was all too relatable. Wish there were more chapters. May the season bring you much more cute militaria, with lots of yuribait too, preferably.

AP from Poland, you said you would send me a combined thank you/christmas card, but I didn't expect a fucking booklet. Still, I very much appreciate it. As someone who's been through some dark times, I'm happy that you're doing better these days, and that your first /ss/ in a decade went nicely. I just hope you enjoy the gifts. As for the gift, don't worry about it. I have a bad habit to go bit overboard, but it never causes me any issues. The cookie unfortunately shattered in transit, but at least I didn't have to feel bad about eating and ruining it. Was still tasty, As for the final offer, I appreciate it, even if I'm very lazy when it comes to travelling

JB of Australia your package to Toronto has finally arrived! I didn't expect it to get here from the edge of the country so quickly. I'm always thankful to get my waifu, and having her drink her namesake lemon drink is a bonus, although I don't know if I've had it myself. But any sip of C.C. Lemon I'm going to consider as an indirect kiss with C.C. from now on! I'm very happy with this card, although I'm not sure why the cards smell so nice.
>Bravern
Bravern was a very fun show that was marketed as a straightforward real/down-to-earth military robot show, but a bigname director named Obari put in a lot of stuff that's closer to the super robot (TTGL, etc flashy "powered by bravery and screams" stuff) and toku (live-action suit guys) genres. It has a silly, endearing, and memorable cast that drive the plot along. The plot might not be the strongest thing about the show, but I think urine for a few surprises nonetheless. if you liked Akiba Maid War, I think you might like this one too.
>socks
Not sure whether you were the anon asking about gifting socks, and not sure during my encouragement about wearing anything from anon whether I specified who I was. I was wondering why I got a tracking number, or why the socks' packaging said thigh-high, it's longer than my keyboard. It might be helpful to wear on extremely cold nights, but I'm definitely not going to learn programming, it's too hard!
>looks like it would probably go up to my knees
I'm not sure how socks even work anymore

Merry Christmas "intials missing because this is the one my folks inadvertently opened". Thanks for the doodle of the Otherside Picnic dorks, and your coverage of a lot different picks of mine this year. LLENN is great, that whole SAO show just embraces its asylum-bound cast having a litany of perverse and deranged thoughts. You're right, I do like FREAKS and I hope the 2025 brings more wonderful eccentrics to fight over. See you next year!

Dear AW from UT, have a very very merry christmas for your card has made me feel quite treasured! I made a little shrine arrangement with spliced photos to show off your card, beautifully textured exterior and warm interior. What you have included makes me so giddy, the smiling cute madohomu drawing is so vibrant and beautifully drawn, and the wonderful perler bead madoka will be sitting on my desk here until I'm out of this cramped return-for-the-holidays room and then will join my figurines on their shelf, where there will be lots of enrichment and soft things for her to play with. May you really be visited with so much Christmas cheer for being an amazing s/a/nta!

Glad it arrived safely, even if it was an entire month later than anticipated. I kinda regret not shooting for express but I couldn't have possibly anticipated a fucking strike to happen exactly one week later. A shame that it didn't arrive in time so the second card could make the meet up, but them's the breaks.
Definitely recommend trying C.C. Lemon if you can find somewhere you can get it easily, I fucking adore it and wish I could get it more often.
>although I'm not sure why the cards smell so nice
That's a brand new card compliment and I have no answer for it since I did nothing to it other than get it printed and add a sticker, maybe Canada Post stuck the box next to something that smelt nice and it absorbed that?
That Bravern summary makes it sound like it's right up my alley, I'll make sure to check it out (also should really watch Akiba Maid War, I'm surprised I didn't catch it while it was on).
I wouldn't have been the anon that asked about socks since I bought all the socks before I got my assignments. I always get tracking numbers for my anons stuff even when I don't need to, and since I sent them all in boxes due to the socks it just naturally had a tracking number.
>it's longer than my keyboard
Given they're thigh highs I'd have hoped they'd be longer than a keyboard, lol.

Don't feel obligated to send a thank-you card, really, chances are you'll get me as an assignment in the future since, personally, I'm here forever.

Minto is great, I'd say she is my third favorite after Ichigo and Zakuro (I had a small crush on Zakuro when I was little). I haven't watched the remake because the redesigns just don't agree with me. Maybe I'm getting old, heh.
I'll join you in expressing my love for HnK, one of the most unique manga I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Seeing Phos' journey such a roller-coaster of emotions and now that it's over I'm a little sad, but I'm still glad to have experienced it.

Hi, YLL of Italy , I was just about to post it!
Thank you for this 10/10 Lord Megatron, the great leader of all the Decepticons (and also Kerry)! Nice extra layer of protection
It turns out that drawing robots isn't easy, so it's very impressive that you managed to do it so well without any previous experience and on relatively short notice
It's good that you didn't send any sweets right now with the current situation. I'd love them, but I'm not sure your letter would've reached me with them
The new movie just came out a couple of months ago, and it's great despite kind of flopping, but you can always just start with G1 if you feel like it, big robots aren't for everyone
Yeah, I'm never sure what to put on my wish-list since my taste is unconventional, but whatever
Have a great holiday season and take it easy! Merry Christmas!

>>274301430
I'm glad the card arrived. It's probably the most inspired one I did this year I thought the Bookworm one was the best but anon hated it
I followed Dungeon Meshi manga for a long time and I was sad it ended. But the anime made it come alive again. I like growing things and cooking them and it truly speaks to me.
I see you already know Groundless, great choice desu and I thought it was obscure enough. Also great choice of a Christmas present for yourself, that's dedication.

Hey. It happened. I sent my three cards yesterday to AC from US, AP from IT and SA from AT. Despite taking so long, I must say I am very proud of how they turned out. This has been the first time in several years I have drawn anything and I didn't expect to be able to do it satisfactorily, but most of all I didn't expect it to be so fun. That may be my best Christmas present, if not for the gift and the two letters (supposing the second one arrives on time) that await to be opened by me on Christmas!
WARNUNG FÜR SA from AT. Die Briefe hat auch erotischen Inhalt... Ich habe mein Bestes gegeben, um deine Waifu hübsch zu zeichnen.
VE from Spain, I am going to spend my weekend doing your gift. I will do my best, hermano. See you on the other side.

You really don't. The 4th season is half live action and then after that they went to vtubbers. You can stop after Friends. Watch Pretty Rhythm and Pripara instead.

KN from ON Just wanted to say thanks again for this card from last year. Encoding a message with desu was hilarious and very creative. I still remember how fun it was decoding the message! Also it's still the only pop-out card I've received, and I love these kinds of cards.

I didn't hate your card, anon. The peppers and oil threw me off a little, but it was a great card. I've already planted the seeds and excited for them to grow.

NC from CA, tracking says your gift was delivered and picked up! Did everything arrive in One Piece?

Great card. Adorable Watashi.

>>274305604
Thanks I've been worried about it Im still not sure what went on with the "oil" my stuff is all sun-dried. I rather suspect the glue holding things together melted in transit

Thank you so much to ET of FL for the card! I've always liked the cards that you make, but you really outdid yourself with this one! It's a bit hard to tell in the photos, but the glass in the window is a thick velum and the card folds into an A-frame where you can place a light to shine through. Very cool stuff.
I will say, and forgive me if I've said this to you before, but the Revue Starlight movie is, by far, the best content in the series. In my eyes, it so perfectly grows on what was started in the TV series, and closes up so much of what was left vague or simply unexplored. I liked the series, but I loved the movie, so definitely give that a watch. If it has been a while since you've watched the TV series, it might be worth rewatching that before, but it isn't necessary to enjoy the movie. It would give you a bit more to enjoy with how all the character lines are tied up, though.
As well, man, I can't even remember why I recommended you Inu x Boku SS in the first place, but it is still a good watch. Additionally, if you like that, MahoAku aired just a season or two ago and was a manga by the same creator which shares a lot of the same charm. MahuAku especially feels like a passion project (likely because the creator passed away) so I'd highly recommend that if nothing else but to look at the pretty art.
I am very happy to hear that you liked the Valentines card I sent out! It is really fun to be able to connect with some anon year after year through /ss/. Sorry if you tried to reach out to to me in the r/a/dio threads like I had probably mentioned to, I may or may not have blacked out before 11pm. One of those nights.
