We hope everyone is having a great week! We've sent out several tracking numbers for cards and gifts, so please keep an eye out in case you receive some!With Thanksgiving getting closer, please make sure to order your gifts and start on your cards if you haven't already! If you have any questions or have any issues you've run into please reach out to the team!
I used the printer at work to print some ecchi stuff for the card, and I ran past my boss on my way back to my desk
Santas, let’s not make a new thread on Sunday again, unless it’s Dec.
>>283930576I'd rather have another thread than have the only one die after a single day + change.
>>283930381>We hope everyone is having a great week!I'm trying man. I'm trying.
JB of AustraliaThe second half of your gift is due to arrive on Tuesday. I plan to ship everything on Wednesday.Worst case scenario, I might have to split it into two packages, but at least one half should arrive in time before Christmas. Also, possibly no snacks if that makes me cross a weight threshold.You should also hear from the santas regarding another matter.
The gift is ready, now just to wrap it, bake the cookies and finish the card
I have barely made 2 very small sketches and nothing else for my 6 cards. I will be spending ~72 hours in a car next week so I hope I manage to get everything ready there.
3 cards finished, 7 more to go
>>283930593full samefags and baits, really?
I'm very proud of the anons that are actually making progress. Maybe I'll make some progress tomorrow. At least my gift for anon is ready already, that's something.
is there a good guide anywhere on how to do good double sided cards (front back) as opposed to like typical cards where you open it?
>>283931221Double sided in what way? like just draw on both sides my guy
>>283931254sorry I'm retarded, like a single piece with a front and back. I've seen some fancy ones before where people use like card stock and washi tape with the drawing and stuff glued/taped on.
Anon's card for me arrived! But I can't open it yet...
>>283931285Post some examples
Shipped my international cards last week, so it's probably too soon for any of them to arrive. By next weekend, they'll start arriving I suppose.
Anons gift is so good I'm considering not posting it and keeping it instead
>>283931474
>>283931287What's stopping you from opening it?
>>283930576Why?
>>283931595Not him but people lack the self control to not post after Sunday.
>>283931678>post after SundayWhy is that a problem?
I am out of black printer ink, perfect timing.
>already finished all my cardsfug, i should have signed up to do more
>>283931751Are you my santa? Because the card I received is so low effort it should be considered grinching
>>283931689Because the threads are meant only for the weekends.
33 days.
>>283931777No, I am not, because I put love into my cards. Plus it's impossible that you got a card from me, I didn't mail them yet dummy.
>>283931285That’s pretty much what I did one year.I used card stock (very important), washi and I taped the drawing with thin double sided tape. Drawing front, message on back. Then I made a card sleeve cus I’m stupid.Cant find my pics but this is anon’s pic from card I made.
>>283931806>the threads are meant only for the weekendsagain, why? who decided this arbitrary rule and what is the reason behind it?
N3 from MexicoI’m so sorry about the delay, the only gift i could ever find is not going to be shipped until the 15 so you’re going to get that one late. I’m almost done with crafting your card plus one other thing and will be sent within Monday or so. My mail will explain everything that has happened and why.
>>283931855This event is off topic and technically not /a/, back when the mods gave a fuck the threads use to get deleted and that was the compromise to keep it going. Probably doesn't matter anymore.
>prompted and printed out all my cards last week>improved my prompting skills since then and now able to generate even better cardsI guess I will re-print my cards, only the best for my anons
>>2839303812011 - 2025 /ss/ photo albums of cards and giftshttps://pastebin.com/KiFBcHRM2017 - 2025 /ss/ thread archives https://pastebin.com/u/SecretSanta2017Previous thread:>>283813273
>>283931508I need to watch Precure.
>>283931855Because this event is always on tenuous ground as it is, only really allowed because we keep it to the weekends (aside from Christmas) and try to avoid it becoming a /soc/pol/offtopic circlejerk.We got a good thing going. No reason to fuck it up.
>>283931930>>283931979Eh, if jannies are ok with it I don't see why it triggers some anons
>>283931947https://www.usps.com/holiday/holiday-shipping-dates.htmMake sure to get your cards and gifts out by December 9 if you're in the US. Earlier if you're international.
Anybody else got the autism stats for various years? I'm curious.
I wonder how many new people this year
>it costs $104.00 for shipping to get a tracking number for an international card>for a cardHoly moly. Sorry anon, I decided to get the cheaper $14 shipping with no tracking number.
>Send out my gift and my cards at the beginning of the week>My gift gets to my anon fine>Cards get shuffled around to different usps centers, one card was in my anon's state but left it for some reason>Other random stuff I order has the same problemI guess it really isn't Christmas season without postal fuckery.
In previous years I'd be right with you about the event staying on weekends only because it's "kinda" off-topic but the whole catalogue is pure garbage at this point so this event is an improvement in comparison.
>>283931995This ain't /vg/. Why push it with low-effort posting? If you really need a question answered from your anon, you contact the santas via email. No one is checking these threads during the week. If you really have the need to greentext about using glitter on a Wednesday, write it on a piece of paper and give yourself some replies.
>>283932046from iss to earth?
>>283932101>If you really need a question answered from your anon, you contact the santas via emailAnd what about non-anon related event questions? Say I wondered things like when to send my gift for it to arrive on time or if tracking is needed for cards etc. Or the correct amount of glitter usage in cards? Do I ask those to santa?I just don't get why people itt are so autistic about these arbitrary rules, seems to be a lot of them.
Please do not post cards because it makes me self-conscious about mine
>>283932307
I intentionally made the shittiest cards possible. Why? So >>283932307 would feel better about his own. Sorry to the 20 niggas I had to sacrifice to make this happen.
>>283932101>Why push it with low-effort posting?That's literally 90% of the threads on this board. /a/ is a quasi-general board.
>>283931221>>283931285Are you a bit stupid?>drawn on paper>cut out>get cardstock (maybe draw ornaments on it)>glue drawing on top (maybe add border after)+>write message on paper>cut out>get cardstock (maybe draw ornaments on it)>glue message on back (maybe add border after)But feel free to do whatever. 'Card' can mean lots of things.
u can just google it
>>283932109kek, seems like it. I think it's because I am rural American sending to Europe.
Usagi (UK), no real effect on the card itself, but is there anyone else in KnY you simp for?
>>283932694
I can't decide what Cold brew coffee to get my anon
>>283933594Want to get my anon some kind of alcohol, but I'm worried about shipping it.
>>283932916hallo Gyomei…Gotouge really locked in with his last few chapters I greatly mourn the lost arcs we never got of so many KNY characters but especially him….also I want to bite his arms(tastefully)
whilst I’m here!SM from Scotland, gifts are ordered! Do you own any re-ments?JJ from USA your card has been sent!AA from Finland your card is in pieces right now but it will be pieced together and sent asap.I still have many cards but work commitments keep arising, Im sorry to anyone who gets a subpar card, Im trying my best I promise!
>>283933594get me all of them, ty.
>have an idea for gift>find an easy to follow tutorial>the nice faceless jap took 30 realtime seconds on the step>I took an hour and a halfI have severely overestimated my ability
>>283932046And this is why I can’t send any card to United States country. Clearly the corporate mail carriers are taking advantage of it.
>>2839329721.80 or 180? If 180, thats crazy.
>>283932972>GermanNext you'll tell me your local recycling accepts the clear plastic wrapping that all my washi tapes came in!
>set goal for myself>car issues>work issues>supposed to send three today>not finished onefuck
>set goal for myself>do nothing>nothing happens>no progress made
just don't set goals for yourself, it's that easy
SV from CAIt was hard to pick up your presents
Alrighty, it's almost Thanksgiving. Surely you've watched something off of your anon's list. Was it good? Did it give you insight to their character? Or, as usual, did it just show how shit everyone's taste is compared to yours?Somehow, this man is turning out to be best girl in this show about idols and learning to love yourself.
>>283936653>Surely you've watched something off of your anon's list. Was it good? Did it give you insight to their character? Or, as usual, did it just show how shit everyone's taste is compared to yours?I read Houseki no Kuni. It was fine, but ultimately I was disappointed. Even more so when multiple anons just ask for Phos.Also started Takopi's Original Sin, even though I finished that anon's card and didn't draw from it. Obviously reminds me of Punpun. About halfway through and now wowed.
>>283936653Watching Shakunetsu no Takkyuu MusumeIt's fun
>>283936686*not wowed.
dont forget to take pics of your cards before you send them, you wont ever see them again.
>>283936653It is all rom-coms so no
>>283936686I watched both the 1993 and 2014 versions of Rance and I'll be playing a little bit of the VN. Making my first ever hentai/eroge themed card is going to be interesting.
I'm kind of tempted to read/play majikoi because it was on one of my card anon's lists. I watched the anime adaptation of it back in the day. are the VN's any good?
>>283937389No VN in existence is ever good
>>283936653Needless. Got that off my bucket list now, surprisingly fun.I think I'll start Mahoromatic soon, too. Put some others on my list but not sure when I'll get to them.
I see my needless propaganda is working this year
>>283936653My anon's tastes are so shit, it makes me wonder if I am being trolled.
>>283937370Damnit wrong reply, meant for >>283936653Don't drink and post.
>>283936653I've already watched most of what's on my anon's list. Haven't had the time to watch the only show I haven't seen though.
>>283930681Thanks for the update. It's cool if you have to have to split up the shipping, at absolute worst the second half would probably arrive early January so it'd still arrive in time for the final post-Christmas threads.
Haven't started on my cards yet btw
>>283938258Honestly same and I haven't bought the gifts yet either
Updates for my card anons:KM from GAYour card is done outside of writing in it.JG from HKI'm making your card today. I just finished the most intensive part of it so it should be done within the next hour.ADL from South Africa and SM from ScottlandI'll have your cards done by Wednesday.I'm aiming to have everything mailed out on Friday, though I might mail out one beforehand just as a cost check.
>>283938258I will definitely start today.
2/17 cards complete. Initials posted only once
Another year I'm awfully behind schedule, but here are some updates for my card anons:SW from NY your card is almost done, I'll ship it sometime next week for sureMS from PA still on the idea stage, but will work on it as soon as above one is done!NV from UK I have an idea for yours but is a little more ambitious than what I usually do. I have little confidence on my ability to finish this on time but I'll try my best! worst case you may get a January card, I really hope that's not a problem. Don't expect too much either way, I'm not that skilledQuestion for all, how much of a problem would be if I include some candy alongside your card? I usually don't have any problem shipping stuff to EU and the US, but we are living on weird times so I thought I should ask this time
>>283939101I include a very small amount of candy with each card. >>283939101This is MS. I dont know anything about customs but I would love candy, especially if it's non-american candy. For what it's worth I am sending a bit of candy in my cards too.
>>283939229I fucked up my post oops.
Do you sign /a/non or with your initials ?
>>283939835I don't sign, anon has to guess who send it, hihi
>>283939835s/a/nta
>everyone sending bits of candy with cardsGreat now I have to go shopping again
I am seriously considering blowing 18k on a single figure on $75-$100 just because it's something Anon wants but I also don't want to just get single thing so I guess I'm overspending this year too
>>283940140if he wants it, he can get it himself or sign up to higher tier
>>283940140Happens every year. Don't put financial strain on yourself. I personally got fucked for not knowing that DHL was my only option to get something from Nihon and ended up paying more in shipping than I did for the gifts.
Fuck me my pens are all smudging up. Its a pain in the ass to write to your anon when youre part of the left-handed masterrace.
>>283940305learn to write backwards
Made on typo on my cardit's so fucking over
Fleur of CAWG of PolandARP of SpainAsking again if you have any allergies>>283937500Based, I'm going to spread a lot of Needless propaganda this year
>>283940505Anon is a baka, point at him and laugh
>>283940525poland no allergies
Finally found a pen that doesnt smudge, and made shitloads of typos.Time to rewrite.
>>283940674I just ordered a fountain pen from amazon. let's see how that goes
>>283940674Have you ever heard of correction tape/fluid?
I got blank postcards like pic related to draw cute girls on. Those are fine right? I feel like I'm making a mistake and should get the foldable kind instead.
>>283941382Those are reasonably fine, especially if you pair them with treats or something.
>>283941447Sending postcards along with treats, how does that work?
I am now in the part where i have to write "Merry Christmas" on the front of the card, and it cant look like absolute dogshit.
>>283941518By sending it in an envelope. Sure it's counter intuitive to the purpose of a postcard, but it keeps the card itself safe and allows you to put something extra in for your anons if you so incline.
>>283941518you buy an envelope for your card and then put it together with sweets in picrel. You can get those at your local post office.
>>283941382Only postcards I've seen have glossy paper so unless you are actually good at drawfagging with a marker on the first try nothing else is gonna stick or erase without messing it all up.
>>283941565>>283941573Thanks, that's what I'm gonna do.
>everything is ready>local post is closed until monday
>>283942393I can almost tell who you are and where you live with that information alone because only very specific countries have their post offices closed on Saturday. A master sleuth, they call me.
>>283942747He’s on to us
Thank god I still get those advertisements to local shops in my mailbox.This is the stupidest fucking idea for cards but im grinning like an idiot.
>anon's gifts are here>can't post them because I haven't done the cards yetI wish I could draw faster
>>283942747You can't because my initials haven't been posted (yet) so I'm totally anonymous
today i finally read anon's wishlist
>>283943780was it any good
>>283940967yes, they look like shit. you might as well leave the mistakes in
>>283941382>>283941565My very first secret santa card I made was a regular lewd-ish postcard with the drawn head of anons favourite glued on top, a very short message and no envelope. I'm still sorry.
>>283943833his taste is shit but at least he seems enthusiastic about it
>>283937500>>283940525Gif related did a lot of the heavy lifting over the years. But seeing it on anon's wishlist was what tipped the scales, I guess.
>>283944203That sounds like it could be me!
>>283943975Tape is fine for small errors. Only thing that looks like shit is if you make a mountain of correction fluid and then try to write on it.
>still no initialsI promise I will have a better wishlist next year
>>283944572I'm choosing to believe mine was so flawless that there's no need to post initials.
>>283944572it would be pretty cool to get grinched during my first time participating
this board is not grumpy like the rest of them areBut you guys post really weird photos
I accidentally bought chocolate with filling for my cookies FUCK
>>283944860>>283944572I never post initials. Some other anons do the same.
>>283944636That's the right mentality to have.
Cards are finally ready. Gonna drop them off come monday.
>>283944910wait until canadian hours
Everyone that doesn't post initials gets a gut punch.
>>283945324Are you the card maxing anon flooding Europe with shitty cards each year
>>283945541I dont think so, I only made 2 cards and one of them is not even going to Europe.
>>283945541lol, I think I had that santa last year. I saw my initials among a list of 4-5 when they were sent (and santa said he had more cards to make) and it was shitty doodles. The event should only allow 3 cards or something at max, anything more is basically a spam mail
>>283945324>already mailed out cards>forgot i could have bought funny stampsI will intercept them en route to anon and replace the stamps!
>>283945791>>283945541That's rude as fuck
>>283946055You should have learned to ignore the samefag by now
>>283946055Not as rude as sending such cards.
I need to work on my cards and stop being a lazy nigger
>>283946082>everyone I dislike is the samefag
>>283944572same, i'm already coming to terms with the fact that i'm getting grinched
>>283940025Don't let the fatties peer pressure you. Most cards are just cards. These people doing "extra" for their anons just want to show off. Focus on your card and create something your anon would like and you are all good.
>extra stuff bad
>extra stuff extra
>>283946663Sure but I'd also love sweets and fun extras
Sorry /a/non but I am not eating anything you send me. It just isn't worth the risk. Don't worry, I will pretend I ate and liked it.
>>283947325You have to eat all the eggs
MC from FranceI wont reveal anything about your gift but you're getting spoiled and you can do nothing to stop it. If you have any specific preferences on consumables (eg "I like booze but I prefer liquor over wine/beer" or "I don't usually go for cookies") I'm all eyes.Z/anon from USAUnfortunately the post refuses to ship anything except a simple envelope there so I can't include extra stuff. I was planning to include a small keychain, should I just go ahead with it and hope it doesn't get sent back?JB from AustraliaShould this be considered a conflict of interest? Too late for a bribe I guess...P from ChinaNice try but you can't avoid the bullying no matter how far you run, prepare to get snek'dJB from Czech RepublicK I N OARP from SpainSorry for the murder attempt.Everyone's stuff is on it's way to me and the cards should be ready and shipped on time™.
>>283947325>not eating anon's jizz for Christmasungrateful fags
>>283947436Is it still illegal to send Kinder eggs to America?
>anon really likes Melty Blood>at the store and I see a chocolate called Melty Blend>ask the cashier>she tells me it would probably melt before it would ever reaches my anon, doesn't recommend it as a gift
>>283947688>Name chocolate Melty Blend>Shouldn't gift it because it meltsWhat the fuck is the point.
>>283947688Do people really put the candies they want in their wishlist lol
>>283947325there should be a whitelist for food where the recipient is required to post proof of consumption
>>283947688>it would probably melt>in winterThe cashier is retarded or just wanted to trick you. I've bought them before during the summer and they didn't melt. They're not ultra fragile specialty treats.
>>283947688>>283947845>bought them before during the summerFrom an online retailer, to clarify that they did indeed survive shipping.
>>283947688it's ok, chocolate can be reforged
>>283947834I will post an ASMR video of me eating your cum cookies.
>>283948113I always knew you were the biggest slut on this godforsaken website, anon.
>>283947800They didn't, Melty blood isn't a chocolate.It's a video game
>>283948113thanks, you're alright anon. At least somebody appreciates the effort of wringing my chinpo dry for a week to have enough batter for all the cookies
>>283947448>Too late for a bribe I guess...It's never too late to bribe me. Hit me with everything you've got.
Testing
I miss the Fushigis so much...Did his new monthly manga already die? I haven't seen updates lately
>>283947448>Sorry for the murder attempt I don't remember anyone trying to kill me in the last two months, but you are forgiven.
>>283948511Did it work?
>>283948606didn't fushigi have a dumb time skip ending?
>all of anons presents have arrived>definitely spent a shit load of money on them>still doesn't feel like I got him enough
>>283948772It got axed. The ending is irrelevant
>>283948780You need some irl human contact, seek help.
>>283948780I have the same problem expect for cards. Which is usually why I end up drawing more than one character that anon listed
>>283948780Just keep sending stuff, nobody would refuse stuff.
Oh wow, if/when I finish all my cards, I am all out of my fancy drawing paper. This package lasted me like 3 years
Anon's stuff is (hopefully) arriving on Monday, so I should be able to ship out their gift and all the cards during the week!
You guys better have your VCRs ready, this stuff takes hours. But it's okay if not. I think I've got it figured out now though how to record in not 6-hour modes.
I sketched couple of cards and honestly they are absolute ass and I don't really want to send either of these
>>283950002I still have my old VCR machine somewhere around here, but I haven't turned on that thing in literal decades. Who knows if it still works.
>consider ordering some ice cream>instantly start calculating shipping in my head based on weight and volumeI think shipping costs did a number on me this year.
>>283947448Excellent news! I truly am honored, I shall await my gift with bated breath. I have no particular preferences on consumables, I'm a big fan of all kinds of food, no need to worry on that front :D
AP from Italyarp from spainsm from ukms from polandyour cards are on their way!N from usasorry anon but you are not getting your card, at least not in the traditional way, my kunt isnt sending cards or packages to burgerland, meaning that I cant send your card, if you still want it in a photo format then I can try to get in touch with one of the santas to get your email or maybe they will send it to you instead, plz reply
I sent my international card today. I hope anon gets it before 2025 ends.
>>283952203Too late for that but the big brain option was sending the card to one of your EU anons so they can forward it to the USA anon.
>>283950002I hope you asked your anon if he has a working VCR before all this
>>283950002Tape 1 is recording.
>>283952203Looking forward to your card!
>>283952203>my kunt isnt sending cards or packages to burgerlandwhat country is it because regular letter mail is fine. just don't buy tracking
>>283936653I don’t watch or read anything off my anon’s list. If I haven’t already seen it, not my problem.
>>283952527
>>283947688How come I’ve never been matched with an anon that likes Melty Blood despite putting it on my wishlist every year?
If anon didn't specifically say no lewd cards than It should be fine if I draw lewd right?
>>283953316That's what I'd assume. If they really didn't want it, they should've specified.
>>283953316Its better to ask in the thread. If you don't get a response it's his own fault and he should browse the threads.
>>283953316>>283953340Unless the list of anon is borderline hentai, I would say no. If I wanted lewds, I would ask for lewds. Better ask your anon first or assume he is not ok with lewds if you don't
>>283953316Answer is yes.
>>283953052Are you sure you're not the only one?I like it, just not on my list
>>283953316If he's participating in a 4chan exchange, he should be prepared for surprise crayon fanservice
>what if instead of sending my anon what he wished for, I send him what I wish?why are you retards like this?
>>283953405I mean, common sense also helps. If anon's favourite anime were NNB and Yotsuba&!, I wouldn't go and draw lewds of these. But not sure it has to be "borderline hentai", either.Asking doesn't hurt, I suppose.
>>283953559>I will limit my autistic creativity in case I might accidentally offend someoneAre you sure you're on the right website?
>>283953610I wouldn't put anything on the card that would be too lewd for the show itself. Like if anon put "Gushing Over Magical Girls" their list, sure go ahead with lewds, but even then I wouldn't go ahead and draw too explicit stuff that is too much for the show>>283953316Ask santas to ask your anon if he would be ok. I for one wouldn't be since I put these cards on display
>>283953610But bar Yotsuba herself both of these works are erotic?
>>283953613Go explore your artistic creativity for your own stuff, stick to your anon's wishes for the event.
>>283953747This guy is right. Fuuka, Miss Stake, and Miura's mom should be lewded.
>>283939101>worst case you may get a January cardNot an issue. Don't sweat it if the only way to get it in time for Christmas is to pay a kidney's worth in premiums.Curious to see what you're planning. Looking forward to it.
>>283952595I swear I recorded this tape for 1h30m, but there's still tape left on the spool. This is the end of the tape my giftee, for real.
>>283953018thanks for the landfill anon
>>283953349>if you don't get a response, just draw lewd stuffWhat a retarded post. Not everyone is in every /ss/ thread, since they might be actually working on their anon's card and gifts.
Some anon is going to receive a snuff film
>>283936653Anon's list unironically has >40 works, I have watched only 2. Our tastes are so different, we can be considered different species
>>283954783Why would you be disappointed to get something anon put their time and effort into?
>>283955320just because the anon spent time on something, it doesn't mean it would hold any value for me. a tape would be useless for meunless that person confirmed that his anon is ok with tapes, that person is recording those records to satisfy his nerdiness, not for his anon.>>283953018at least print and stick a picture on the tape so perhaps your anon can put it on a display
I actually hate drawing why do I ever participateEvery year I am suffering
>>283955538just use chatgpt or print out from gelbooru like normal people.
I actually hate anons why do I ever participateEvery year I am suffering
>>283955252This is actually the exact reason I make my list big. I've had anons with absolutely terrible taste and making their cards was far less enjoyable than the others' with who I've had common series. So now I just spread a wide net hoping that even if I get a shit roll the anons that get my list will at least have something to work with.
>>283956128The big list doesn't necessarily make it spread wide if it is all the same genres. Seriously, how many "loser mc gets a teasing gf" anime out there?
>>283956286Well, I can only speak for myself. You wouldn't catch me dead watching anything from that "genre" or 99% of isekai anyways.
Its time to break out the floor silhouette. Sorta feels like its more work than just cutting shit out with an xacto knife but I gotta justify the purchase somehow
>>283953488Does anyone that likes Melty Blood like it as an extension of Tsukihime or just for it as a fighting game?
>>283956893I do, but most who like melty are casuals
>>283956893i like both but i still have a soft spot for Melty Blood in particular
vidy/a/
>>283956893I think most don't even know it's based on something, but old Type-Moon stuff in general is like crack to me.
>>283957053You do what, struggle with the English language?
>>283957232My favorite brand of ESL posters are those that out themselves by trying to nitpick grammatically correct posts they don't understand.
It's canadian hours again and it's my time to take a break from /ss/.
>>283955468They're all for my anons, I assure you. I do enjoy making them, but people enjoy making their cards and other things for other anons too. I know at least one anon was able to watch his last year.
>>283957648Don’t Canadians use the same timezones as the US?
>>283956763I always thought the Yui cutout guide looked a little too perfect, now I know why. Doing it by hand always results in at least a few fuckups.
>>283939101>SW from NYThere should be no problem shipping candy as far as I am aware. I look forward to your card!
I never have dinner with the president I never have dinner with the president I never have dinner with the president
>>283958570lmao that's why I never use faggot dhl. EMS always
>>283958589I could've sworn they were roughly $20 more expensive than DHL in this case. Have people been having better luck with them (not) charging import fees or something?
>>283958570is that the package from your santa or is it the gift you bought for your anon
>>283958570>dhl got another one with the hidden customs feesIf it looks too good to be true then it's probably not. The only time I used dhl I got hit with an extra 80Yurop bill and since then have hated them with a passion. You can easily do the customs procedure yourself too so it only makes their clowning worse.
>>283958651Stuff I bought for anon and one thing for me.
>>283958570breakdown
I started my cards
>>283959722I was going to start my cards today but then I got depressed. Maybe next week.
>>283959722Which model are you using to gen them?
>>283958310That's a different anon. And I do fuck up a lot, I just try to glue it back together as seamlessly as possible. There have only been a handfull of times I haven't cut through the lineart when doing the fur brim on santa hats over the years I've been doing this.
>>283958784xd
>>283959722Just started mine too. Thanks for the inspiration, anon.
>>283958570do they just avoid telling people up front on purpose in these cases or is it the shipping company just not knowing ahead of time?
>>283959722I wish I could say the same.
Card 1: DoneCard 2: Drawings done, just the construction still to doCard 3: Not started but it's for my giftee and his gifts aren't here yet so there's no rush.Things are looking good.
snowing!
>>283962988Me too, I'm so fucking ready but my cards aren't
All of my items finally arrived at the forwarderI should probably start planning the card soon
Back from Nihon, card-making is now well underway. Though one of my assignments is really bossy about what kind of card he wants to receive and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I've never grinched a card but I'm inclined to just stick with my formula and he can either like it or spin on it.>>283953405I have some assignments that outright list eroge so I'm assuming lewd is fair game with them
>>283963727Bossy how? Unless his wishlist specifies how he wants his card, there’s not much he can do. Or are you saying he told the Santas to tell you how to do it?
>>283963727>Though one of my assignments is really bossy about what kind of card he wantsHah, same. He is going to get bullied.
>>283961534They have data to estimate cost, they clearly are hiding it and making you pay.
>>283959762>I was going to start my cards today but then I got depressedThis has been happening to me every goddamn day since the event started and I need to motivate myself somehow. The good news is that I'm only sending to Europe this year, so I still have like a week to think about all of this before it's too late.
>>283963727>erogeJust grinch
>>283963727>what kindLike he is asking for a double sided card that plays music or something? Or the scene he wants is too detailed
>>283936653I just finished Akiba Maid War. Can't believe I got tricked into watching a hard-boiled yakuza drama, I just wanted some funny moe. Also fuck that panda
I'm sorry everyone, Christmas is officially ruined
>>283965770yotsuba ...
>>283965770calling dibs on the charred bits, those are always the crunchiest
>>283965770It looks... so many things. Did you forget to add flour
>>283965770I'm still going to eat it.
Painting 3d prints seems to be working alright.
>>283965834I was using a different recipe and didn't notice it calls for very specific type of flour in the footnote. I guess there wasn't enough binding agent. There's no way to salvage the remaining cookie dough is there
>>283965897Just add the agent, mix again and hope for the best.
>>283965770Pretty fucked up looking cock and balls you've made there.
>>283965897You know I won't be eating it anyway right? Just post it as if sending cookie (cake? crepe?) will make you feel better.
I am kinda new, any tips for maximizing profits in future years?>use female name.Sounds obvious but it works I guess? Not sure if I should go full name swap or just imply I’m a girl by using a feminine alias + some shoujo in the list>multiple entriesAre PO boxes allowed? Otherwise I'm stuck with just one address.>card maxPeople often send small gifts that might be resellable. Worse case it is free candy>list recent popular anime for better resale valueask for figurines, they flip the bestAny other hints? Also thinking of putting "cookies are ok" to my anon feel more personal.For US anons, is it better to go international or stick to US?
>>283966847If you find a particularly gullible sucker, make sure to thank him in the Santa threads or even send a small "thank you" card back. You'll get an extra gift next year.
>>283965770
>>283967054I am hoping the OP was going for a phallic shape, it has to be intentional right?
>>283958589>EMS alwaysburgers can't use EMS dumbass all countries have banned packages going to the us
Some of you guys see penises everywhere. I know a dude who would have an interesting theory about that.
My crafts sure don't look professional but they are at least soulful right
>>283955561Please don't use CHATGPTGelbooru is ok if you make a fun card with it, like not just print the image but cut it out, use some glitter, some stickers, some fucking creativity at the very least. And a personal message, written in your own hand, showing your love and affection for anon.
>>283968934I also see two balls.
>>283968952Stop replying to obvious bait.
>>283968952I would prefer chatgpt over gelbooru, at least it involves some work. Getting a photo from gelbooru and slapping a "Meri krismisu" on top is the lowest of the low
>>283967237Technically the union mail banned it AKA normal mail service you often get from said government. Commercial mail is not part of the union and is why they treat workers very badly.
>>283968952>Please don't use CHATGPTWhy? Taking an anime picture and asking ChatGPT to make it Christmas themed seems a perfectly valid workflow.
>>283969029What fucking work? A prompt? How is that different from searching tags
>>283968952>use handwritten textMy handwritten sucks, no thanks.
>>283969157It generally takes several prompts and lots of time (especially on free tier) to make gpt generate what you want.
>>283966847>should I join non-USGenerally no, high postage costs makes people less likely to overspend. Plus you will likely to be matched with Canadian anons who are expert at grinching or lowballing gifts.
Is it ok if I use "select subject" tool in photoshop or is that also considered AI?
I know a lot of the ai posts are bait but I'm completely serious about never doing this ever again if I get sent an AI card.PLEASE draw stick figures instead.
If I get an AI card that shit is going directly into the trash and if its a whitelist card I'm reporting them for grinching.
>>283969716>>283969803Unless it is obvious AI, you would not be able to tell. At least 3 anons last year wasn't able to tell it.
>>283969716Confusingly, I once received an AI card with an actual drawing inside which was good. No the drawing wasn't traced AI like another card I got, it was clearly just an amateur artist, but I don't know why they bothered with the AI half.
>>283969854Just because they didn't mention it doesn't mean they couldn't tell. I have received shitty low effort cards where anon printed the first picture they found on google, pasted it on construction paper, and wrote 2 or 3 generic lines on the back. Instead of being a dick and calling them out I just thank them and move on with my life.
>>283969570I only use the pen tool and stick to a single layer and I try not to ctrl-z more than 3 steps. Too much technology is evil.
>>283970041Are you one of these two anons>>283969803>>283969716I don't understand how people are ok with>anon printed the first picture they found on google, pasted it on construction paper, and wrote 2 or 3 generic lines on the back.But goes apeshit when someone mentions AI.
>>283970300I'm not okay with it. I chalk it up to that the construction paper guy is some autistic retard and the people who use AI are lazy faggots. I don't want either, but I'm not going to try to humiliate people with mental disabilities.
>>283970300Those anons were probably manipulated by their favorite furry artists on patreon into hating AI. Or they are those artists themselves.
It is time to get with the times grandpa. AI is no longer the future, it is the present whether you like it or not.
>>283969854I literally work as a freelance artist and done promotional work. I know Ai when i see it. The lighting is the number one factor Ai has never understood.
I've gotten like a couple AI cards from this one frenchie because I think he REALLY hates my shit taste, but desu thats fair
>>283969803same
>>283971171Bruh most anime art that is being used in cards here has no lighting whatsoever. It is all flat colors
>>283971176As a frenchie myself, no, that is not fair, especially if it was blatantly obvious that they were AI. If I hate someone's shit taste I make them a shit card the old fashioned way.
Ignore and report the spamfag.Enjoy anon's cookie.
>>283971751Fuggg, now I can see the penis too. You guys poisoned my mind.
>>283952203>my kunt isnt sending cards or packages to burgerlandUSA blacklist soon.
>>283971751
>>283971171>AI doesn't understand lightning Can you?
>Oh no I'm having anxiety/time crunch I'll just not do my cards...There's always someone every year who's new and signs up for 1 card and never gets it. Do not be this person.
>>283965770it reminds me of the one detective conan girl with the pointy hair
>>283972186I still have 27 days left to start
>>283972186Hey now, I have until Friday to finish one card going to US, and deadline for the rest is 9th of December so I have more than enough time.
whats the cutoff for shipping again? I'm still waiting on items to come in that I'm including my cards but the shipping is taking forever.
>>2839725163 months after Christmas
I bought my anon $150 worth of art books
>>283972186>Do not be this personWhy did you have to say it like that, now I'll have to draw.
When the FUCK is anon's waifu going to appear, I've been watching his listed shows for weeks now.
>>283972516It's go ask your post office you fucking faggot we don't know the cutoff dates for every single fucking country in the world
I just paid 62€ for a fucking Nendoroid but it was available locally so I didn't have to pay international shipping or VAT so it's not like I overpaid that much, right? Naturally I will only count the nip price for towards the bracket
If I get a nendoroid that shit is going directly into the trash and I'm reporting them for grinching.
>>283972789Episode 76. Keep watching.
>>283972901You overpaid + I hope you made sure your anon wants nendos because if it was me I'd hate it. Same with PUPs and not rare prize figs.
nendos are ok, cheap prize figs are ok, google images is ok, AI will never be ok if you use AI, please just drop out and send your apologies
What if I upload my AI art to gelbooru and download it back, would that launder its AI-ness and make it ok to use?
>>283972901I got lucky this year and bought everything locally, the items were cheaper than in japan
>>283972901Paid local too and guy won’t send it until the 15th of December. Why is that allowed?!?
>>283973146Need to step up your buyfag-fu then because your statement absolutely defies logic.
I need your power, anons. What are you listening to while making your cards?
>>283973400my jebus cd
>>283973400I usually listen to stuff like this: https://youtu.be/X6nEHPgPRXI?si=rZuz-qqLCYO1GmJx
>>283967237>orange man is insane and fucks his own country with random tariffs they get what they deserve.
>AI AI AI AIJust doodle in MS paint. It's so fun and comes out full of soul.
>>283965155>>283963986"the card must have X number of characters on it, one character may be allowed to be a small doodle", stuff like that. I'm generally fine accommodating a particular request if it comes up, but the whole first part of the wishlist reads like the required design standards for a fast food advertisement. You're in a christmas card exchange, not paying for a commission.
>>283973400Hardcore History or Fall of Civilizations. Stuff I can leave on in the background for 4+ hours
>>283974152Next year some wishlists will just be promps I can smell it
>>283967237I swear EMS was an option for me at checkout, am I remembering wrong?
>>283973667Our japanese barbies are a small price to pay if it makes you anrgy leftie.
>>283973400Hololive music
>>283975133ECMS and Surface mail from Japan has resumed, but EMS hasn't.
I promise…I will draw a homocard tonight….i just need to psyche myself up to draw beautiful men.
>>283975556>ECMSThis isn't a japan post offering>Surface mailunless it's a private company like, amiami most likely from your post's two options, Japan post surface mail is not resumed but amiami's private surface mail hasyou can only use private couriers as japan post will not send anything unless it's letter mail to the us
>>283968952>please don’t use this tool that makes good looking art and 95% of anons won’t be able to detect is AI if you prompt well or trace it>t-t-the Santas said it’s not allowed You are retarded.
>>283975547Kill yourself.
Am I completely tripping, or does Mandarake have like way less inventory than usual? Most series I'm searching only have like one or two hits
>>283976955Sorry anon I bought all the in-stock items two weeks ago
DED from Russia I've got your package ready and will send it tomorrow morning so expect tracking soon. Hopefully the post wont fuck us over
>need to start my card>check anon's list again>it is still shitHow do you guys deal with this
>>283977631gomen...
>>283977631Draw shit, it's what they want.
>>283977631Eventually, you realize it doesn't matter if their taste is shit or not. What matters is what characters you're able to draw with your skill level.
>check calendar>only have a week to get all the cards sent off
>>283977631You entertain yourself by drawing a funny scene with his shitty characters
>>283977812Nah, you probably have more time than you think. They don't have to be received by Christmas or even the new year. Just aim for mid January delivery and you are good.
>>283976837That's my favorite Mori Calliope song
>>283933912>SM from Scotland, gifts are ordered! Do you own any re-ments?Sorry, I've been on it since Tuesday night SCOTLAND SCOTLAND SCOTLANDI haven't heard of re-ments before, and while I do have teeny tiny Hidamari Figures, I don't think I have any re-ments for them or for any other seriesEither way, I shall be a happy giftee
>>283978245fuck you
Damn it. My printer apparently sucks more than I remembered. Oh well, gotta make up for it with my own drawings surely
>>283979020Mine too, please someone buy me a laser printer
>>283979020>>283979180You can print from your local library
>>283979268That would be me admitting defeat, I need to justify buying a printer.
SHIT I FORGOT IS IT TOO LATE TO SIGN UP
>>283979413The weekend is not over yet, drop an email to sweetsecretsanta@santasquad.moe
>>283979268I used to go to my local Office Depot and the workers there had to see the stuff I was printing.
You should genuinely be able to grinch the following fags without consequenceAnyone who puts>gacha>vtubers>FOTM shit>top 100 MALshit>ironicshit>indian>chineseDeserves to be grinched
>>283979602add rom-com to the list
>>283979644why?
>>283979700None of them are good except for Tadano never falls in love and they're all the same shitAnd the list is just saying anyone who isn't an actual anime lover needs to fuck off
>>283979602>>chineseYeah, I'm Viet and I would grinch my assignment if they were Chinese desu.
>>283979721sounds like you need to watch more rom-coms anon, or get some taste
>>283979788Hey what was that one rom-com where the shy, cute but down to earth relatable girl has a crush on a dense guy and they have wacky situations and almost kiss but never actually kiss or have a relationship? Trick question, it's all of themBTW Your Lie In April sucks harder than your mum on discount Fridays
>>283979788You watched one, you watched them all
>>283979602>rank 3355 on MALI'm safe
>>283979602>ironicshitWhat?
>>283980000Checked, but you know what I mean>dude i love inferno cop>dude i love one punch man season 3>dude le jojo xDThat kind of shit
>>283980032What if you like inferno cop and jojo unironically
>>283980032Hey now don't you fucking dare touch Inferno Cop. And how is that your first choice anyway, it's like 11 years old now
>>283980059Then you should be grinched for unironic shit taste
>>283979831Yeah, what I said... you need to watch more romcoms. just mentioning that entry level one shows you don't know much about them.
>>283980059You should kill yourself
>>283980101>>283980208>Dude, I heckin HATE *insert show*, only le normalfags like it, amirite my fellow channers XDThis kind of faggotry should be a capital offense.
>>283980245I honestly don't understand how people can unironically like jojo. I thought everyone was pretending to trick other anons into watching it.
>>283980318You'll understand when you get older.
>>283980353When I get dementia?
>>283980357When you graduate middle school.
>>283979788>watch more romcom>get some taste
>>283980245>jojofags>toonamifags>adult swimfags>jinrohfags>the whole "uh I like anime, not ANIME anime, you know what i mean bro :^)" ironic deflection shit
Every single time this retard comes out to whine I'm reminded of the meatballs video but instead of watermelon and kool aid it's screeching and samefagging>inb4 the usual "every post I don't like is a samefag"
You see /a/ is not one person, /a/ is two peopleMe, and you
I went all out and even drew on the back of the cards for my anons.
>>283980508>meatballs videolink it senpai
You guys know that you can like Cowboy Bebop and KissxSis at the same time, right? r-right?
>>283980618Consider for a moment, Cowboy X Sis
>>283980618Nothing surprising there. It's common for oldfags to enjoy romcoms these days. They've realized they'll likely stay kissless virgins for the rest of their lives and self inserting as a romcom MC is the closest they'll ever get to having a girlfriend.
>>283977631draw easiest/simplest character, maybe one with most references, if he only mentioned series, find the mascot in one and draw that.
>>283980508No one has any idea what retarded shit you watch on youtube lil bro
>>283979721Tadano sucks.
>>283980959It's a show I like therefore it can't suck
>>283980032How bitter and lonely are you?>YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO LIKE LEGEND OF THE GALACTIC HEROES, AS THAT IS MATURE, REFINED ANIME.Fuck you, dweeb. An inferno cop card would be so easy and fun to make
JB of Czech RepublicSA of AustriaGB of UKYour cards will be going out this week.
Next time I get an anon with vtuber or gacha on their list, I'm going to send them two cards to make up for the grinches ITT.
>>283981255What if I put webtoons in mylist
Okay /a/ be completely honest, how much non /a/ stuff did you put on your wishlist? I focused primarily on anime but I did list that I like touhou and I listed Venti from genshin impact on my long list for homocards.
>>283981613I have a few visual novels on there if you don't count them as /a/
>>283981493Sure, if that is what makes you happy.
>>283981613I put a gatcha character in my wishlist, but said gatcha series also has an anime, so it kinda counts as /a/?
>>283981613Cyberpunk 2077
>>283981797No, fuck off
>>283981797Yes, fuck on
I put at the top of my list Sailor Moon everytime and that’s as common as they come with magical girls. In the past when I’ve listed as much off topic shit as related to /a/ without anyone really caring or even better, it’s been drawn for me on the card. The focus on it this time round is painful, just draw the card and call him a faggot inside the card if you are so put off by his shit taste.
>>283982102Shut up, brit.
>>283978736I’ll try and grab you some then! Jealous as hell also, haven’t been able to have a bev in an age.
>>283981613MagiReco, I guess. It's a gacha, but a spinoff of an anime, and it got and anime adaptation of its own.
>>283981613When I get to the part of the wishlist that says "And now for non-Japanese characters" I don't even read it. I ain't drawing a goddamned KO-REEEUN
>>283981613I put one series on my list that was originally a manhwa that was turned into a donghua that was dubbed in japanese. I don't think anyone will dig deep enough to find out though unless they're already familiar with it.
If it is gacha then it is not anime and I am grinching, simple as
>>283982265Same goes for vtubers.
>finally get around to starting cards>have a question about anon's list>can't ask because then they'll know I didn't even read their list until 3 weeks later
>>283982129Im excited for my card from you anon.
>>283981613Touhou and that's it. Anyone who complains about 2hu being on wishlists is retarded, it's just as much /a/ culture as Yotsuba is.
>>283981613just do it anoni'd rather find out that my santa read my list 3 weeks later than keep thinking he didn't read it at all
>>283982370also meant for >>283982313
there is a notable decrease in initials, specially in this thread. Prepared to be grinched.
>>283982346it is more of a weeb culture
>>283982313If the info makes the card better/potentially more enjoyable for anon, ask.If nothing else, they'd know you're working on their card.
>>283981613Technically never have, never will. Closest thing I did was mention Pokemon, but that obviously has an anime, even if I don't really watch it anymore. Mentioned Terry once for homocards but there's OVAs so I don't count him either. If it has even a single OVA, I say it's fair game.
>>283982566T-terry?
>>283982441Most of us (me anyway) probably just don't have any updates at the moment. Ontario is gone, be patient.
>>283974152I got an anon just like that, was put off too. I guess he’s autistic, I’ll just do my thing.
>>283982645Is Ontario the only place that grinched?
I think I forgot to put Momentary Lily on my wishlist FUCK
>>283982925But that show was shit
MK from FinlandAfter a long hard-fought battle with a scummy postal service all of your gifts have finally arrived. I'm planning to ship it out by the end of this week after acquiring some goodies to go along with it first any preferences when it comes to beer/chocolate?Fleur-chan of CAAA from FinlandSending out your cards later today
>>283982441I've participated for years, I just don't post in the threads beyond the first one, and the last one's where we open everything. I occasionally lurk ever couple weeks or so, and respond to anons like you that some of us don't need to update our recipients every thread. Melli merry
>>283982925damn, I've would've spoiled you rotten if you did that>Momentary Lily>>>>AMW
>>283982974Maybe, but it was F U N>>283983073I'm sure I could check if I did, but where's the fun in that. (Ayame best girl by the way)
>>283982441I have 17 initials and If I'm being completely honest I don't know if I'm going to finish all of them at this rate. Doing my best but I don't want to get people's hopes up. Life events outside of my control have taken place that give me way less time than I had planned to do cards.
>>283983211If you can't manage to complete all of the people you've signed up for, don't sign up.
>>283983211>17Think of the postage costs!
>>283983211Lately, I've been feeling depressed, which makes it difficult for me to motivate myself to do my cards. Fortunately, I didn't sign up for many
>>283983211>17Thank you Santas for allowing such retards
>>283983211You have an obligation to finish all the cards you signed up for. Even if you finish them late and some of your anons receive them after Christmas, that's better than not finishing them at all. Ganbatte.
Whats the max people can sign for? One gift, 10 regular cards+3 whitelist cards and 10 homo cards?
>>283983450Yeah I'm not going to ghost people I'd never do that but some may be late.
>>283983498You can register and disappoint as many anons you want if you use different names and addresses
>>283982216How many wishlists have you gotten that on?
>hey gpt, generate me 17 anime themed christmas cardsIt is that easy
>>283983415Protip: Consume alcohol
>>283983690At least use better prompts than that.
>>283983690I'd rather swallow glass than send anon AI slop. I need to go work on cards now. Melly kurisumasu
>>283983852Let's not pretend that you are doing a better job than gpt with your 17 cards.
someone is really just around the clock trying to troll the threads in the evenings this year.it must be a canadian or something
>>283983961You have posted this in almost every thread now, we know
To MS from PA: all your main gifts are in although waiting on one other side thing where I might need to ship it if the seller doesn't get it to me fast enough (Bought it in advance but they are now just getting back to me on it). Gonna see if they can give me a timeline for getting it shipped out and its unreasonable going to change something and try to get it shipped out between the 5th and 8th.
Man I hope the snacks I include don't incur stupid charges or problems for international shipments, never have in previous years but

>>283983946I am doing a better job, wish i could tell you but the surprise would be ruin and my anon would know.
>>283984946This just means you're doing something that AI can't, which would mean some sort of physical effect with your card, like it popping off the page.
>>283930381I got a card last week, but I'm not posting it until I ship out my first card.
>4/4 cards inked>3/4 colored>bonus pages doneTonight I'll work on the notes, tomorrow I'll finish the color and work on gluing everything together, Tuesday I'll get the envelopes addressed, and hopefully ship everything out by Wednesday.Feeling good.
>>283984212Looking forward to it, thank you so much!
>>283982988Hey Santa! I'm good with anything really! But I suppose preference wise, I'm not fond of wheat beer at all, everything else is good as is and that dark beers are my favorite usually.With chocolate there isn't much to go wrong with, I wish to taste things that you'd yourself consider good and are unique to your place. Cheers.~
tomorrow for real
>>283980032you see, this is how I know you're baiting hard. Or you've just been living under a rock if you think anyone outside of /a/ gives a rats ass about kino cop in the current year. I doubt his superior's cameo in the latest panty and stocking season got any recognition rip
today is the day
>>283983138GUILTY of being based

>>283987715Hope your car gets better
>>283987715Damn. I hope he makes it, but it not, my condolences.>work load increased>im not good at drawingganbarou.
>>283987715lol anon making up excuses for his missing homework.
>>283988558>Sorry anon, my dog ate your card
The mailman just woke me up and I got excited thinking it would be the first card of the year, but it was just an advertisement from an insurance company. Curse you, Mr. Mailman.
I just ordered everything. That is all. Now I need to start working on cards
>>283989534Get fucking owned
CF from Aus - I'll lay it out flat for you - Angel Philia dolls are like way outside of the price range. But I wanna do more than just some artbooks for you - how do you feel about custom plushies? They won't be Angel Philia quality but I can get you a very unique one based on what you asked for in your request.
>>283989828Greedy scam anons get the coal
If I sage the thread, then it's like I'm bumping only in spirit!
>>283989671Good luck anon.
>>283991132Is Frieren actually and unironically good
>>283991106>implying sage even does anything anymore
>>283991287It must.
>>283991314Even if it did, me replying you counters that.
>>283991445Then desist immediately.Don't do it, anon!
>>283989828>angel philia dollWhy are they so expensive theyre plastic
>>283991280I watched it quite recently for card research and it's not a bad series. But that's the most positive thing I can say about it. Unfortunately I'm not into medieval fantasies with RPG elements sprinkled all over them, so I'm not the best person to give you an objective opinion about Frieren. But if you're into that particular genre, then please watch it. Also, there's this elve. I love her.
>>283991649they seem to be huge and high end and probably comes with a working vagina
>>283991280if you are into native isekai, sure
Is this thread really going to end with people talking about plastic dolls with functional vaginas? Wonderful. Please continue, I'm lonely and interested.
>>283991815Well, there was that one Anon who reviewed onaholes for living...
>>283991950Still one of the funniest things to ever happen on /SS/. If I remember correctly someone posted a picture of his keyboard or computer (sorry, I no longer remember the details) and some anon was like "I recognize that keyboard!" because he saw it on an onahole review on pornhub. Magnificent moment.
I'm still at that stage where I've sketched and done the lines in pencil and I just gotta colour it in and line it with pen, but colour and pens are permanent and scary.
>>283992313Believe in yourself and you will do an excellent job.
>>283992313you know what else is permanent? THIS*unzips dick*
>>283992313You will do a terrible job and there's no point in trying
>>283992313you know what's not permanent? THAT!*zips ass*
>>283987715sorry to hear about you grandpa anon, I hope he is well
>>283992313You will do a wonderful job and there's point in trying.
.emit tneserP.yad tneserP
>>283992313You will do an okay job and there may be point in trying.
Surely my Santa is just leaving it as a surprise and is not grinching me
>>283945582>they don't know about Finn anon who only signs up for two cardsI'm your missing 2024 card. Sorry you never got it, I just got really sick. I'm hoping to send you a card but I'm sorry if you get it after the new year. I've never recovered.
>>283992313>but colour and pens are permanent and scary諸行無常
Would my anon forgive me and not report if I put mail a 20$ bill instead of a card? I am very lazy
>>283993201Fucking finns always ruining everything
>>283993630>20$My country does not accept that currency. Make it 20€ and we have a deal.
If this post ends with repeating digits I will start my cards today. No more excuses.
>4hr long new Defunctland videoAw yeah, card progress about to be made.
