We hope everyone has been having a great week!there is less than a week left until Christmas! A bunch of tracking was sent out last night with more on the way this evening! if you have any concerns about the status of your gift, or are experiencing delays with shipping your own gift/cards, please let us know and we can contact your santa/giftee
>>284627674Replied to Santa, I asked a follow up question.
Deciced to give Touhou a try after seeing it in multiple lists. Is 1 supposed to be absolute ass or am I just bad at it?
>>284627832both
Thank you DMD from Germany . My cat loved your box and ate a part of it but I saved the contents. I didn't think there was so much Cafe stuff out there, including a comic where she beats Pokke. I might frame the cover for that. The melon kit kat was also deliciousMerry Christmas! I've also sent you something hope it reaches you soon! It's not as grand as this, but you'll find something special in the envelope.
>>284627832They all are shit unless you are extremely autistic
4 days!
>>284627832anon... no one actually plays touhou gameswhen people say they like it they usually mean they like jacking it to 2hu porn and maybe listen to some doujin music every once in a while
>>284627832I thought people just read the lore and looked at the cute art
>>284627832Touhou doesn't really start until touhou 6: Embodiment of the scarlet devil. 7 is actually my favorite, and one of the most important things to understand about touhou is that it's very doujin in every sense of the word. The games are great, but almost everything about touhou is fanwork, including fanon. In touhou, fanon is canon.
>Santa really came to my house to try and drop something offThe one day I'm not home you fucker. Feel like meeting at a cafe?
>get a single card every /ss/ despite always signing up for two or more>cherish them foreverIt's kinda late for 2025, but next year I'll probably send regular cards to my Santas.
>>284628304I have a drawer full of them and I really should sort them sometime
>>284627674Can't wait for my tracking, maybe I will even have my gift before 2026 at this rate
An hour ago, I received this absolutely wonderful card from Terumob of CA! I can't believe how great it is. I have been enormously blessed this year by my lovely anons. Any one of these drawings are individually better than the entire card I sent you this year! And there's three of them! I knew once I saw ole Left Hand sucking me in that I was in for a treat. Your Godzilla is very lovely and what a terrible shame Tokyo is completely homosexual now. Two nukes too many, I say! D is very handsome. In regards to Godzilla, I personally prefer the vs. movies where he fights another monster. But kaiju autism is perhaps an acquired taste. Like Koreanshit. Your message was also tremendously kind. You might have meant to "emulate," but instead you "surpassed" me. In skill, in cheer, and certainly in bein' gay. Bravo! Excellent work! You should be proud. I will cherish it forever. I love you and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
>>284628575This one's a fucking banger
>>284627674 C.C. from CA Have you received your card by any chance? I sent it out on 12/09/25. Hopefully the Canadian post office doesn't screw you over. Oshino Shinobu from MS Just sent your card out today with express, I sent an email with the tracking to the Secret S/a/nta team. NB from CA Hey man, I just sent your card out today with tracking, it should arrive in 2-3 days. Excited to show you my pokemon drawing! MB from Germany Hey anon, I sent out your card with some snacks out with tracking(until it leaves the US) on 12/17/25. Bad news is that there is some kind of recipient cost thanks to the tariffs so the estimate cost when it arrives is around $12.93 or less. I asked if there was anyway to pay for it but USPS staff said no. I have pictures of your cards if you don't want to pay for my mistake. I'm sorry anon. NV from UK Same with MB I sent your card out with snacks and tracking(until it leaves the US) on 12/17/2025. Unfortuantely, the recipient has to pay $22.70 upon arrival so I have pictures of your card if you do not want to pay. I swear I asked if there was anyway to get past that but the staff said no. I fucked up.
>>284628685>22$ to receive a card lmao, just leave out the snacks next time anon
>>284628685>13$ and 23$ tariffsJust how much candy you sent? If they are asking the receiver that much, how much did it cost you?
Dear KM from GAThank you so much for this awesome card! Louise on the front is very cute. Is it painted with watercolors? I was always too clumsy for those. The sparkling letters and ornaments look really nice. I really love the drawing inside, the blush and cute outfit are too good! The jolly background is hilarious. Your determination to focus on drawing my waifu is admirable, she really looks like she’s waiting for our date.It’s nice to hear that you enjoy the style of Soul Eater as well. The beginning shot of the OP also always stood out to me, it’s a very creative way of setting the mood.I wish you a Merry Christmas as well!
Dear APN from BrazilThank you so much for this great card! The Louise prints are really cute and fit the season. And Siesta is great as well! I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed working on this card. I am also quite curious about the present, I currently put it under my Christmas tree. I hope you’re enjoying your Symphogear rewatch, and that there is something on my list that seems interesting. I’m always glad to get something from an anon that has a similar taste. I wish you a Merry Christmas as well!
>All the whitelist cards I received included candy and/or little trinkets>I sent none of these with my whitelist cardsWell shit, now I feel bad. It'd probably be weird to send them some candy this late since they already got their cards, huh?
Dear ARP from SpainThank you so much for this wonderful card! Your drawing has a great style, and I love her smile! I also already noticed the bellybutton at your last card, very sexy! Is Louise pulling a stand?Don’t worry, I hope you’re feeling better soon! I did get great cards already, and yours is awesome as well! Ever since you told me you were my s/a/nta too, I was looking forward to it. I also love your creative concepts and messages. I remember the last cards being from the alpha and H.B. timelines. I was already wondering about that last year, now it makes more sense. It’s funny that this anon >>274120648 from last year was right about the timelines. I can’t wait to find out how the story connects – under the circumstances you told me, the chances are indeed high that I’ll be matched to you again. Until then, I do hope that you’ll get better soon, and I wish you a Merry Christmas!
>>284628685I doubt it's due to tarrifs. Europeans simply have to pay to import goods. Up until a few years ago gifts still got through for free, but now you always pay processing fees and taxes. Regular letter mail is obviously exempt from this. If I was one of those anons I wouldn't blame you for not knowing, it's something I personally expect to happen. Best thing you can do in my eyes is fake the prices of the snacks to lower the cost.>>284628860I wouldn't expect an American post office to really have the information handy, but maybe they included the processing fee too.
>>284628981>If I was one of those anons I wouldn't blame you for not knowing, it's something I personally expect to happenI mean the post office told him that the post will cost $$ to the receiver. The logical thing was to remove the card from the box and just send that alone. If not then put the fee money in the package
>>284447104Hey Anon! Glad to see you enjoy the Miyu nendroid, I'm watching Soro no Woto for the first time and so far it's pretty good. Love the festival scene, good introduction to the anime. Merry Christmas!>>284615782Glad you enjoy the Alice nendroid, I wanted to get something nice for you and my other whitelist anon. I'm not against Slice of Life but I perfer some comedy mixed in so Aria wasn't my cup of tea. I got in total 5 international so yeah the cost blindsided me. Lesson learned for next time. I have spent in total $228.98 so that's on me>>284628860Not a lot of candy honestly, I fucked up. I spent in total $65.68.>>284628981Yeah this was my first time doing international and I got the snacks because I felt terrible sending my cards late. Should've just taken them out.
>>284629054>I felt bad about sending them a late cord so I sent them a late card that costs moneyThanks for the Hershey's I guess.
>>284629054>>284628860Most of the cost isn't from the goods itself, it's usually the handling fees and storage fees that are applied at will once custom offices see something they can tax. The best thing to do is to be as precise and descriptive as possible when sending it, that gives the recipient a chance to completely avoid those fees, taxation itself isn't a huge factor.
>>284629054>not a lot of candy honestly>in total $65.68.Waht>I got the snacks because I felt terrible sending my cards late. Cute totally retarded Anon.
>>284629203There should be no tax with gifts that low in value but maybe that changed die top current shenanigans.
>>284629203>The best thing to do is to be as precise and descriptive as possibleThat's what my santa did and I ended up paying 90E in customs for my gift. Always lie in customs forms both about the value and the content.
>>284628981>Up until a few years ago gifts still got through for free, but now you always pay processing fees and taxes.Since when? Last year, I looked this up and every source I found said if something's declared as a gift and the value below 45€, you pay nothing. And I didn't pay anything for the gift I received (70-100$ tier), though I don't know what value my santa declared.Pretty sure I looked it up earlier this year too and found no change.
>>284629269>>284629275It is random. One of you got lucky, one of you didn't
>>284629269>both about the value and the contentOh boy, *especially* about the content. Never. Be. Honest.Declared something as containing "no batteries", then some third-worlder/non-English-speaker/a machine or whatever the fuck must've only parsed the word "batteries", then they trated it as if it contained lithium-ion-batteries and slapped on a label indicating as much, and my package was sent back, no questions asked.It doesn't pay to be honest with these kinds of things. It's likelier that you'll get fucked by an honest declaration when they don't open your package or do their due diligence, than it is to get fucked by having your package opened when lying about the contents.
>>284629264At least in my EU country taxation (20%) is always applied at any value, only customs applies from 150€ onwards. However, once customs see a package that may not match the registered content, they may store it and contact the recipient, which will immediately cost quite a huge fee.>>284629269Did you check the receipt? I'd bet that it wasn't taxation and customs alone that did cost that much, sometimes you're just unlucky with the fees.
>>284628958as someone who sent out a shit ton of sweets this year I would say you shouldn't feel obliged to send them yourself. It's nice to receive something extra, but in the end it's all about thoughtfulness and kindness, it doesn't matter whether it's in the form of an extra drawing on the card, a letter with some autistic thoughts or an ornament for a kurisumasu tree.I don't want you to send me giri choco, I want you to want to do something nice for me.>>284629269>Always lie in customs forms both about the value and the content.If I declared the true value of rabu I have put into my packages the tariffs would ruin my anons financially
Ty TM from CA! I'm always happy to see your cards on the threads and even more so when I get one for myself! Every inch of your card and envelope is a work of art. Your big Pochita card is so bright and cute! Your shark is very cute and I do like the Halloween/Christmas vibe this card ended up having thanks to the bat corner and ofc the highlight was your beautiful Syaoran drawing! I love your art style, he looks adorable.Hope you see SF one day, it's definitely worth the watch, and I agree, I feel like I saw more SF on lists this year. It's great to see it's still beloved by many.I was starving when I got this card and devoured the cookie right after I took a pic. It was delicious, Ty and Merry Christmas!
I´d send sweets/snacks/booze with my cards but dealing with customs is a pain in the ass so for now im sticking with only cards.
Hey faggot santas, are you guys sending the correct tracking numbers? The tracking you sent me says delivered more than 1000km away from my address.
>>284629739That is a common scam tactic lel
Postal services should remain operational on the holiday weekends before Christmas and before NYE. It's criminal that everything freezes at such a crucial time of the year.
>>284628225Should've listed that you were in a multi lettered apartment nerd.
Thank you KN of Canada for the card and coasters!I've tried many times to get into im@s, but I never really managed to get hooked. I did recognize the meme though and thought it was funny. Both coasters are really cute and I'll definitely use them throughout the year. Did you use markers for the color? Its really nice and vibrant.Thank you again and I hope you have a great Christmas!
>>284629868I think the world will continue to spin without us receiving our waifu cards on time anon. Ask your santa to send his gift on time next time
MK from PolandMany thanks for the Eureka card. I'm glad that me rambling on in my list paid off. Nice to see that you tried out Apocalypse hotel. Funnily enough if you didn't mention that you read Hotel by Boichi I would've forgotten that it even existed. I read it a while ago but I completely forgot about it. I'm going to stop procrastinating and finally finish the later seasons of symphogear since I've only heard good things about it. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
>>284628885>>284628921nice
>>284629889Am not though.
Three cards to post!First [no name] from NJ, thank you for the gorgeous Shinku. I agree with Girls Last Tour being special. I've watched it four times complete now. It's definitely got a mood to it.You did great on the papercut work, it looks fantastic. I'm probably going to hang this up somewhere.Ononoki is good, but for me, my favorite monogatari would have to be Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade (forma non-loli). Her movie is fantastic.Thank you again for the delightful card, and Merry Christmas to you!
Hey ADL from South Africa and MS from PA, I sent your cards a while ago but for some reason they are still in my country, so they might be late. Sorry for that but hopefully you like them
>>284629868>post office says the last day for Christmas delivery is 20th>they're not collecting mail on the 20th because it's a weekend>the post box down the road was collected at 7am because afternoon collections are for Mon-FriI will keep grumbling about this. In previous years the last day was the 22nd and they did additional collections around Christmas to deal with demand, so there's a chance it'll still make it when they're collected on Monday morning, but it sounds like they expect to fuck everything up this year despite the higher prices.
Thank you to Kurisu Masu of GANot pictured: cookies, because I ate them before I took the photo. They were superb.Adorable Shinku. Very nice pouty expression. I didn't expect to see Witchcraft Works! I'm a simple man; the bigger the hat the better the witch. Though there's no hat, Kagari's other large features are on good display here. I agree that the anime stood out with its vibrant colors and strong action sequences, it was a very fun show to watch. I saw that first based on another secret santa anon's recommendations. The manga stood out due to its highly detailed intricate clothing drawings. The amount of lace and detail is insane. I think I also really enjoyed the series since the MC isn't just a completely spineless self-insert character and takes some agency in the series.Thank you for the card and snacks, and I wish you a Merry Christmas!
do customs even allow you to send booze or do most people just lie on the form?
JH from OKH from NYBoth of your cards were sent this week, hopefully they will arrive on time and you will like them!gomen if they don't, it is my fault, the expected delivery date on the NY card is the day after Christmas
Total lack of initials I can ignore, but if no cards arrive by Monday I'm making myself taller.
>>284629868You can't expect government organizations to be run like a business. They will only do their scheduled time in addition to making extra mistakes when it gets busy with no regard for whatever holiday you are concerned about. You just need to mail your stuff early so you don't have to count on a Christmas miracle for it to be delivered in time since it is probably not going to happen.
>>284625284Very glad to hear you enjoyed!>Yeah they're fun, but everyone is mainly in it for Ryza's glorious Thighs.kek I figured as muchEvan of UTRS of IAWH of TXAll your goodies have been shipped out and should arrive soon, if they haven't already. Evan your card will be inside the package with the gifts
And last for now is AC of INI did receive a completely DESU card last year, it was fantastic. Thank you for the adorable Suiseiseki drawing!I'd agree, Tanpopo is my favorite of Medusa's gang. She's so cute and endearing. While I'm aware of it, I haven't interacted with GFL; the only gacha I play is mahjong soul.Thanks again for the cute card and snacks, and Merry Christmas!
>>284630855A sizeable amount of national posts has now been at least partially privatized if not outright bought out. So they, in fact are a business. Also since many anons use higher priority mailing the packages are sorted through the country's EMS service which almost always is private.
>>284628921Glad you liked it! I wish I had more time to work on this, but I didn't have much time to make anything more elaborate. I also hope you'll like this humble gift. From all my matches, your list was probably the one I was the most comfortable with, having watched most shows, so I was happy to work on it.Herzliche Weihnachtsgrüße!
>>284630199I'm glad you like them, im@s is pretty hard to get into cause basically all the media is Japanese only.Wish I had more time to refine these but I'm woefully busy, initially I was only going to send Monica, but I felt that was lacking so I rushed to make the Ichigo coaster, and showed off my artist prowess with the Ascendance of bookworm card.The Marker used on ichigo is an Acrylic Paint marker, the same kind I used on the card, it looks a little muted but really shines after a clear coat. Hope you have a Merry Christmas Anon!
I got a Stocking card from MC from France!This card is really pretty, and I love how it feels. What kind of fabric is this? It feels like paper but it's much fuzzier than paper. Stocking looks super cute, and I love the coloring. Is that crayon or colored pencil? I'm glad you liked my list, and would definitey recommend trying to rewatch CCS if you dropped it early. Gintama though is a slow builder show that takes a very long time to start as it introduces a lot of characters. The first 30 or 40 episodes are basically just intrudicing characters and fleshing them out. After that though I find it to be incredibly funny and good, almost every episode. I'm so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed Samflam. It's underrated and doesn't get talked about enough but its fans are passionate. >If you weren't in the states I would have sent chocolateIs this a tariff thing? Or can you not ship chocolate to the states anymore? Or was it super expensive?Regardless, thank you for the card and Merry Christmas!
Seeing the anons having a party in the previous thread makes me sad that every single anon I've had drifts away after a couple weeks of conversation via email or becomes awkward after agreeing to hand delivery and realizing it's not a girl. I just want friends that like anime and manga.
>>284632018>I just want friends that like anime and manga.What if your anon is 20 years older than you are
>>284632065There aren't people that old on /a/.
>>284627932 FV from Italy.I got your card already.Many thanks for the card! I always appeciate cards made with care. Manhattan cafe items are a bit hard to find when I was in Japan, because I have to go through the merch and books of all the Umas out there and just pick out whatever caught my interest.Glad you like it! Merry Christmas to you too!Here also a digital copy of your card artworkhttps://files.catbox.moe/9xd84h.png
>>284632081What if your anon is 20 years younger than you are.Imagine ringing the bell and asking for anon then hearing back>he is my 12 years old son, what business you have with him?
MK of AB, did you get any cards?
>>284632081I'm that old
>>284632081I'm pushing 36, and I would imagine most who do this are in their 30's.
>register for 1 (one) gift only>your match doesn't even acknowledges he got your gift>no tracking from your santaAm I matched with grinches in both direction
>>284632081The address for one of my assignments was literally an old folks' home...>>284632206I got a bunch over the past week, I've just finished stitched together the picsSKG in QC, your package somehow arrived on Sunday but the thread had died just before I had a chance to open it. What a fantastic bundle, I feel a bit bad just sending some stickers back the other way. I always end up hoarding little shrine charms and gacha etc when I visit Japan so I can definitely find a spot for the dreamcatcher. Haven't tried the tea yet but I will sometime over the weekend. I also assumed the keychain was Elias before I had opened the card so yes you did just fine with his likeness. You just said you only knew a few series on my list so I don't know if you've actually watched Mononoke, you definitely should if you haven't, though it gets very strange and abstract in places (not quite as much as these new captcha puzzles but getting close). Thank you very much for everything.
>>284632522Basked Inuk.
>>284632347Happened to me the first time I signed up. No issues after being in whitelist.
A card from TD in Germany. I guess I ended up with a... theme... in my wishlist, though Alucard is (originally) human and Elias is a whatever-the-fuck so they sort of buck part of the trend. Demon Slayer is very by the numbers shonen-slop but it's a guilty pleasure and the animation in the movies is really well done. I actually ought to have put Kaigaku on my list instead, Inosuke is barely in IC1. I found the hidden message - I'm fine with Galo abs, they outnumber his brain cells. Thank you!>>284632619I don't think he's Inuk, his PO box is in southern QC and Inuk text looks very different from what he wrote. Dreamcatchers aren't really an Inuit thing either AFAIK.
Very flashy card from AB in ON, the foil work looks great - thank you! I've actually never given the manga a go, I tried reading the LN a while back but the writing is so aggravatingly redundant I ended up dropping it after the first book.
>the gift received by anon >10 days agoSurely he is waiting for christmas to post about it right?
GB in UK with one of the most creative assemblies I've gotten in a card over several years of /ss/. For some reason finding a CR2016 battery was more difficult than I was anticipating it'd be and I had to go out and try several different places in -20 to eventually get one, but I'm glad I did because it looks fantastic with the additional lighting
[visible worry]
>>284632967Cool card!
>>284632936Are you certain you carefully checked every single thread?
>>284633014Yes, I am sure.
>>284632522>The address for one of my assignments was literally an old folks' home...kekWho let gramps on the computer
SA in Austria with another Aisha card, I've definitely been assigned to you several times for cards but I don't believe I've ever received one from you. Disappointed you did ship a sacher torte but the chocolates are great - I have some Austrian heritage and there was a German deli down the road from my house we'd go to all the time when I was a kid, and it was packed full of these sorts of chocolates. Very familiar with the Manner wafers in particular I didn't like the Mozart testicles very much back then but they're better than I remember. Thank you very much for everything you sent.I did also get a sixth card without a return address but it was zero-effort garbage, more so even than stuff like the Dead Sea Scrolls. I'm not posting it which is something I've never felt compelled to do in several years of participation.
>>284633024Well, my santa never acknowledged my giftpost so I get it.
>>284633200I feel like I saw this card and similar set of candies 20 times already. The santa really mass produced those cards huh
Anyone that send something to MB from Germany in Wiesmoor, I will be home for christmas in a few days, I already have reports of stuff arriving, but I'm just not home yet to post them.
I sent my card 2 weeks ago... anon surely got it r-right? Why didn't they post it with the others they got?
>>284633285You know why
>>284633285They hate your card just like they hate mine.
Bait
I think you all would be a lot less anxious if you acknowledged we have a lot of shy lurkers here that probably just never post at all. I've posted cards before and seen zero posts from the person who sent it. Not saying it's right though
>sent all my cards at the same time>anon 9000km away got theirs>but not the anon 2500km away
>>284632967Whoa, neat!
>gift will arrive late unless I hand-deliverUh
>>284615019The base pic wasn't photoshopped, I just came across a ludicrously meatslab-ed Himmel and couldn't not use it. Sorry you didn't end up receiving last year's card especially since Medicine Seller has become one of my favourites, it was such a shitshow trying to send things out and the 3rd party courier I had to use did a weird telephone game kind of deal with passing mail off to other postal services, so there were a lot of points where things could get lost etc. Glad I ended up documenting cards that year since successful delivery was pretty low.>>284618662Good thing you can make your displeasure felt in all those elections the government is deciding to 'temporarily postpone'. No refunds! :^)
MK of AB, thanks so much for the card! I appreciate you indulging me a little for my fudanshi tendancies despite it not being for homocards. I know I'll probably get bullied, but gosh dang it that's a cute pic of Iruma and Alice. Thank you again, and have a merry Christmas!
>>284632522Happy you got the card! Kinda funny you would get yours last of my recipients, even the Romania anon got his faster than you and we live in the same country. Glad to see you like the goodies! Elias was actually the more challenging one to make and bead, so I am happy you knew who it was immediately. Don't feel bad about just sending stickers, I love them!Of your series, I only watched/read Mononoke you are right about it being easier to comprehend than these captchas and Dorohedoro. I saw Galo and immediately thought GO GO GO GO GALO SENGEN, but realized it wasn't the same thing.You should have 2 teas, I hope I didn't forget. Regardless, Merry Christmas!>>284632619lel, not Inuk, but still native.
Any other secret santa events you guys join?
ID of CA, is it okay to open your package now or should I wait until Christmas?
>>284633790No, but I will be looking for a new one because the threads in this one are no longer fun. Too many shitposters and too many people bitching about cards kills the fucking vibe for me.
>>284633855You can try Reddit.
>>284628685>Have you received your card by any chance? I sent it out on 12/09/25. Hopefully the Canadian post office doesn't screw you over.NC of CA? Yeah I got it, I was just sick. Thank you for the waifu AND booby Shizuru! Godannar is quite fun, Kimura-san (RIP) was the character designer afaik, his designs are always good. And YEAH I did enjoy Gun X Sword a lot! Actually watched it before Cowboy Bebob (sic) which I did enjoy also. The El Dora squad is my favourite, endearing Mexican Combattler retards that are well past their prime but still kicking it and living it, their intro episode is what got me into the show. If you like El Dora V, you might like GaoGaiGar as well if you haven't seen it. Kimura-san's the character designer, the MC is voiced by a skilled and hot-blooded seiyuu (who voices the seething guy from the El Dora ep, as well as Viral from TTGL), and it's a lot of screaming super robot action, can't live without it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISK82QaSREgAnd yeah, I understood what happened the instant I saw the random name, I think I saw people in the threads having to add some random name for initials before. What a jolly Christmas, merry Christmas to you as well!!!
>>284633645There were 2 teas, just forgot to have one in the pic. Thanks again!
>>284633898What is going on hereWho cut her arms
Thank you DD of Russia for the late cardShe's definitely the christmassest!. I was pretty busy last Christmas so a late card is perfectly fine. Not much to say, this years been pretty good for me, still no Dungeon Meshi S2 sadly.I hope you're doing well and have a Very Merry Christmas!Churchill tank is definitely pretty nice with those massive bazongas on the front>>284623275Thanks again RP of QC
MK of SK your card arrived as well!>skimmed my 1,000+ word listFair enough, I think I included a tl;dr that mentioned my waifu. She's very pretty though and her show's very fun as well, thank you! It's a fun oppai show that I think you'd have fun rewatching.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF9K_pLlATUMy ever-growing collection of C.C. will keep me warm this season, merry Christmas!!>>284633945That is her beautiful face and nose anon
I got an extremely homo homocard from MK from CanadaThis is my first time getting an explicit card and I have to say you knocked this out of the park. Felix is super cute, super sexy, and the artistry in this is top notch! MK added an envelope that contained a censor which I used to cover up Felix to meet the Janny's strict guidelines. Cute stickers as well, where did you manage to get the Kaworu one? Agree with what you said about the stuff after season one not being as good but I wouldn't say it's dogshit, just significantly less interesting. Your card managed to make it safely outside of the country and is thoroughly enjoyed in mine. Where do you post your art online? Inquiring minds would like to knowIf you would like to see the card uncensored, here you go: https://i.imgur.com/paVlAt4.pngThank you so much, Merry Christmas!

>>284634245Glad it didn't get binned at the border for violating some kind of obscenity law. I was in Japan when assignments were given out, the character stickers are found in all kinds of stationary/weeb shops. I tried to find something to pair with every assignment's list but they mostly cover the really big shonen series and lots of lists were too obscure. >Where do you post your art online?

>>284634600>Sorry the actual pic isn't my own. I process them in photoshop then make cutouts of the outlines/assemble themGood enough for me. The card looks awesome.Did the card I sent you arrive yet? I made yours extra gay.
>>284634364Oh, so that is what the anon from previous thread meant that homo tier is "mostly women". I was wondering if it was actually true but now it makes sense
>>284634707Homocards is mostly women, or at least people with female names and art/handwriting that is incredibly feminine. I started being a homo last year and I think I can say I enjoy it more than secret sant/a/. There's no reason to not join next year.

>Are the trannies in the room with you right now?
Sorry AB of ON, I think it arrived on the weekend where I was busy with something, and I received the mail but assumed I'd remember to post it in this week's threads. It DID arrive and I am furiously excited to open it on Christmas. I've never worked with glue and paint is still daunting, but I'm surprised and proud that you've managed to deal with both. What have you built so far, I demand to know!>not RG SazabiNo worries, you were under no pressure to get it, and I'll be happy with whatever you've gotten me. I hope Canada Computers is of some use to you though, they and Argama Hobby are good price-wise, Double Star Games is sometimes good as is 401 Games, Wheels and Wings, quite a few others like Panda Hobby and Canadian Gundam as well if you're fine with paying more than $0 for shipping. Some older stores might specialize in tanks and planes though.>hopefully it's not a dupeIt probably won't be, but I did include the list of what I have to be fair, but I also bought a few more kits in the meantime. As long as it's not HGUC Zeta, Mk II (AEUG), or the Twin Ball set it should be fine, I should have updated you. And if it's somehow the Mk II, I politely asked a local store if I can Also we were matched with each other somehow, and the odds that it will arrive by Christmas is 0%, half-tempted to ask the organizers if I can hand-deliver>>284634605I can include a pastebin or txt file link next year for my 8,000 word list next time, maybe fax a copy or even hand-deliver my wishlist if necessary, sorry for having terminal autism
AC of IN, thanks for the lovely set of Ukyos and the goodies! I don't have a super clear favorite Ippo character, but if anyone asks, my go-to is always Woli just to get a reaction. If not him, probably Takamura since I like powerhouse types.I've done exactly one gunpla. I bought the PGU RX-78-2 as a birthday gift for my dad a couple years back and we built it together over a few weekends. It was a good time and I'm going to see if I can't get a hold of the new PGU model that comes out next year. How are you liking ZZ so far? I haven't gotten around to it yet.>Tenchi OVA recNoted. I watched Universe a couple years back. How do they compare in your eyes? I'm somewhat interested in watching Tenchi in Love at some point and I don't remember which canon it's spun off from.And of course, thank you for the well wishes. Merry christmas, anon.
>>284634813I would ask if you've ever read a homothread before, but all the guys joining homocards in recent years haven't so it's twice as unlikely.
>>284635089I think it's best no one reads that thread who doesn't also post there.
>>284635151>can't read a thread without posting in it>have to just open a thread without reading the OP, then make a post, and only then be allowed to read the discussionI'm learning so much every day
>>284635204>he doesn't know
>>284635151Well can they stop signing up for the cards as well, I'm sick of every card I receive saying "hurrdurr I have no idea what anything on your list is and I couldn't be bothered to read what you said about it, have a good Christmas." It has entirely defeated the point of the exchange splitting off.
>>284634203Glad it got to you on time and without damage.>linkALL HAIL OPPAI! Got sidetracked and ended up watching other old meme vids after this one. I'm currently re-experiencing shock that Code Geass is almost 20 years now...Merry Christmas nonetheless!
Posting some nice things that came in the mail. Thank you for the lovely card and goodies from AC of IN! I'm glad I get to have another one of my girls drawn by you. I think you had mentioned your love for the best mango to come out in a while so I hope you enjoyed the ending to it.Syalis is indeed super cute and the keychain will grow heavier this year because of you. I'll give the coco mix a shot once it isn't 60 degrees out.
>>284634931The funny part is that the model glue turned out to be acetone, so it was a bit of a surprise when one of the road wheel joints dissolved and I had to hold it in place for half a minute while it bonded to another bit of plastic. (Granted, I should have known it was effectively nail polish remover from the smell alone) I'm not too sure if I should be painting before joining or joining before painting, but due to the miniature size of this model, I suspect brushes with more than one or two hairs will be challenging to use. Tempted to try buying a pack of thin needles and just attempt to inject paint directly onto small spots instead of brushes.Already tried using cheaper paint from the dollar store on the leftover parts of the tank (they included extras), but the result wasn't great, so I'm now browsing for actual plastic model paints that could be more universal. Don't want to try painting a 100$ figure first try, so just going go experiment with cheaper temu/aliexpress tanks instead. Considering buying an unpainted Panzer 4H off temu and just painting it in the GuP Brown with their decals instead of paying the eBay Ransom to get the official version After I get better at painting basic models I do hope to branch into bishoujo figures. Getting human skin tones and matte/gloss is going to be a rough experience.I believe I did not buy any of the gundams you listed, so you should be good. Honestly I should have done what everyone else did and just procrastinated till the last few days since I saw CanadaComputers get a restock of higher grade gundams at a still reasonable price when I visited a couple days ago :( As for hand delivery, I don't really have a problem, but I'm not sure about my availability in the next week or so since I have to move around town a lot during christmas, but there should be ways to deposit packages at the front door safely. idk if the organizers will agree though.
Hey IP from OK I got your card! Thank you man, I really liked it, your drawings are cute, hopefully you enjoy LOGH, and of course I believe, let's not forget Christmas is to celebrate the birth of our Lord. Thank you again for the card and I hope you have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sweet Lain card from AB from UT! I haven't watched Lain recently so I may end up doing a rewatch later next year. I haven't seen it in over a decade or more, and I'd imagine its themes hit even harder in today's world. Thanks for the card, happy holidays and a great new year to you as well!
>>284635540Glad you enjoyed! You had an eclectic list. I've already forgotten the name of that purple catgirl, but she's cute. Still chugging away at LOGH and will be for a while. Have a good Christmas and stay faithful!
>>284635380just write a better list simple as
>>284636304Gift:yaes, I received it BH of CA, you're incredible ;]
I got a stocking card and some gifts from RR from Canada!I am maybe 2 or 3 episodes into PSG Season 2. I was watching it with a friend and his life is falling apart for multiple reasons I won't go into, so we are putting it on hold and hope to pick it back up later. From what I have seen I am enjoying it though. I don't think "standard" taste is a bad thing, but it is what it is! Eva is very much a you love it or hate it deal, I hope you love it! Shinji is probably my favorite MC of all time, I find him uncomfortably real and human which I love, but most don't. Planetes has been on my backlog for ages. If you didn't know, Planetes was Moot's favorite anime. The coaster is very nice! Did you make it yourself or was it custom done? Regardless, I like it a lot, thanks! Smarties in the US are very different than the ones you sent me, they're essentially colored chalk candies that are small circles, so I am excited to try these. As I am writing this, I am scarfing down the Wunderbar and loving it. It tastes like an air filled (In a good way) Reeses fast break. I would buy these if they were sold here.Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!
How do you guys sign your cards? For me, it's "Love, Anon".
>>284635484Got distracted by the burrsAnd just the card alone. This suya~ has made me very happy. If you do end up enjoying the show, the manga is very good and a goldmine for reaction images.I hope that you also get some good sleep this Christm/a/s. Thank you so much!
>>284633824open it now, there's cookies inside!
>>284637046Always with my initials so when they look at the card years later they will know who sent them a card.
>>284635515>Tempted to try buying a pack of thin needles and just attempt to inject paint directly onto small spots instead of brushes.nta and I've never done tanks but i have a lot of experience with miniatures. you can make a "wash" by diluting acrylic paint with some water, so that it becomes thin enough to run into cracks and small details. you can wash before laying a base coat, or after, or both.i would also suggest priming the whole model before painting if it is not already primed. you can use black spray on primer, that way any little spot you miss while painting will just be black, and look like intentional shadow.
>>284635445It's in a nice plastic thing, it's going to be encouraging to have meals with it looking fondly at me! And yeah, the old memes for the show are pretty golden. But how time flies...Merry Christmas to you again as well!!>>284635515Yeah that's rough, but at least with the early and memorably painful mistakes, they teach you to learn and never ever ever do that again. And theoretically most if not all mistakes are fixable, just difficult in terms of how much work you have to put in. You can ask /m/ or /toy/ about painting because I genuinely don't know how any of this works, and I think they'll generally recommend airbrushes over hand-painting, maybe ask /tg/ as well because presumably some people hand-paint their miniatures. And I think for girlpla they generally look fine out of the box unless you have to apply waterslide decals, which can be tricky to learn. I've only seen someone give them make-up once, but most girpla's expensive anyway, so I couldn't tell you how that world works. Love me some tanks though, wasn't sure if you were into the kind of autism of cutting out 83,000 wheels and tread pieces, but here it is, a lovely-looking tank. Weathering might be something good to look into as well, my pastor told me that you can get cheap pastels from an artstore instead of buying dirt and mud-coloured official ones and just go ham. Also if you're panel-lining or using pour-type markers, use them before assembly, otherwise they'll crack the plastic due to being unable to expand and evaporate.And nonono, I appreciate the mystery bot nonetheless, and I'm curious what it could be. I can always save some tax return money for the RG Sazabi next year. Oh nice, I can send them this and have them ask you for a throwaway email so they can confirm that it's not just some rando with a tank model that's trying to trick two anons into meeting up. Or you can just drop a throwaway if you think they might be too busy.
the ai cards were true, damn.
>>284637046>Love, AnonExactly the same, except I put a line break between the "," and the " "
>>284637749if you still have the shipping box, check the company that made the box, should be printed right on it. it should have "not" scribbled above the logo. 6 letters totalproton mail is [company name]0129@proton.meremove the brackets ofchopefully the box wasn't destroyed beyond recognition during shipping/you still have it
JH from ILSimple and to the point. Cute Yotsuba and cute Fuuka tiddies. Thank you for your card. Merry Christmas!
>>284637749oh I do have to add, by list I mean the list of stuff you mentioned having in this thread, I'm pretty sure I didn't buy something you listed that you already ownedEnglish is rough sometimes
>>284633273thanks for info It's not like I already assumed you hated my card or anything since it was delivered a week and a half ago hahathe food I've sent you has most likely spoiled by now ;_;
>>284632803Oh boy, the card arrived. Tracking suggested it didn't even leave the country, so I was worried. There is hope for my international anons yet, it seems.As for the secret message , it's not just Galo abs, if that's what you thought, you might wanna look again if you care to find it. But it's just an unfunny gimmick I spent too much time on.Either way, merry Christmas, anon.
>>284638348>the food I've sent you has most likely spoiled by now ;_;Man, this has nothing to do with me and I'm still bummed out, I hope things end up actually being okay ;_;
MM from RO I received your card on Friday. Did you get bamboozled? Cute mori and Rin. I have noticed,femanons card merryness powerlevel is too damn high. I want to learn your ways. Is it the sparkles? Can I ask how you made the gradients in the bow and the ball? I can't tell if it's colored pencils or watercolor or chat.Well dang, if I knew you liked them like that I would have drawn you a character in a santa outfit with fur details back then. I mean, if you're courageous you can go for the Christmas robot, but drawing mecha is hardcore. I guess Dix-Neuf is fairly human-like so it's not as bad. It's as you say, the year goes by too fast, so I can't think of new series I watched. I'll go watch the next episode of Digimon beatbreak in a minute. Maybe you'd like Digimon since I remember you like small critters. I usually celebrate it with /a/ or my family yeah. As for food I guess baked chestnuts ans buche are the usual suspects. What's the Romanian Christmas dish?Wait a minute why is your card signed Santa Loli ?Merry Christmas
Beautiful 2hu card from RL from VA! It has all of my favorites!Hey anon! I definitely remember you and I remember this style of card but I don't remember which card you sent in the past. I do keep all of my cards, but I moved recently and I'm not sure where they're at currently so please forgive me. 2026 is surely the year you'll watch GTO! Don't feel too bad, I have had some anons suggest a show and I said I'd watch but never got around to it. This coming year will be our year! Marisa is an excellent pick, and I love her too, she just didn't make my top 5. Your stocking is great! What did you use to color her in? You have great taste, a lot of older shows I've seen like Gunsmith Cats and Dirty pair, more modern ones like Made in Abyss, and ones I haven't seen yet that I know are good like LOTGH. Your waifu seems somewhat cute! If you had to recommend one of your favorites to me and other anons reading this, which would you suggest?Thank you for the card!
>>284638809>or whatis what I meant to type.
>>284632097So you did go to Japan after all! I was 90% sure because of the Micky Mouse Osaka medal. And I'm glad the card arrived too, I fucked up the name of your island twice while writing it and I was kinda worried haha. Take the special thing out from the bottom of the envelope btw
>>284638836I forgot to include the back of the card! only 4 more days until present time...
>>284638950>HAHAHAHA>not HOHOHOHOThat said, cute card.
My best card was the first to leave to a difficult destination, I didn't take a picture because I was too excited and anon hasn't postedIt's over
TG of VA, I got your care package and set it under the tree. I think I've got a card of all my favorite girls from you now meaning I feel kinda bad about my card to you this year. And yes that includes the Principal.I'm absolutely giddy with these wrappings under the tree. Given Milky subway was a whole 45 minutes took on the herculean task of giving it a watch and found it very entertaining. Didn't expect Squidgirl to be playing a delinquent, but okay. Feels like a Trigger show that tried to not be a shitpost.I'll give your romance a shot and the horror one too. I'm not huge into spooks but hell, it's Christm/a/s.Ninjas also on the menu apparently.Hope your new adornments help you shine as much as your words do.
>>284636074>write a short list of series and character names>"I don't know anything on your list and I can't find it on google">write a list identifying who every character is with their full name>"Your list is too long I ain't reading that shit. I don't know any of these series"The real answer is to stop requesting my favorite series and conform to their shounenslop tastes, because that's all they know and will force upon you no matter what you write.
Thank you Anon for the card and treats! I have sent something back in return!
>signed up for 3 cards and a gift>no cards in the mail>no tracking for whitelist cards>gift tracking came in yesterday and the gift won't be here until after Christmas Well... at least it's something I guess. Still feelsbadman
>>284632003Glad it got to you in time! Apparently the material is 'premium matte paper'. I suppose I technically could have sent chocolate but it would have indeed been very expensive and I heard loads of people here say that sending anything besides a letter to the US was risky, that there was a good chance it just wouldn't arrive. I'll go ahead and give CCS another try then. Merry Christmas!
>>284640074You are literally me. This might be the second year in a row that I get zero cards. I quintuple checked my address and it is indeed properly formatted and I've been told that my cards were sent weeks ago. God I fucking hate mailmen.
>>284627674Welp, time to start working on my cards!
>>284640074I mailed all my cards in late November/early December, all within the deadlines and yet only two of my cards were posted. I can kinda understand with the one going to US, but that still leaves two cards in Europe unaccounted for
>>284630249Glad you liked it!You are the first to post my card too!
>>284632065>>284632081How can there be old people on a board full of little girls?
>>284617523Hi anon, I'm very glad to see that you got my card in time for Christmas. That was one of the last cards I sent, weird to see it being the first one to be posted. Secret S/a/nta works in mysterious ways. And alright, fine. I will finish Muv-Luv, but only because I trust you. Next time I contact you I will tell you my thoughts about it, I promise. But my opinion about the lacross arc will not change!>>284628959Well, I didn't expect to see this one posted already. Tracking never informed me about the successful delivery of your card. Thanks tracking. Anyways, glad to be part of your Christmas card collection once again. If everything goes right, next year I'll go back to the full comic + card autism combo. But until then, there's only one thing I need to clarify about your card. The hand that Louise is holding belongs to Kirika from Symphogear. Don't ask me why are these two together and how are they going to save Kurisu, that's a story for another year. Which hopefully I'll be able to continue in about 10 months.>284620581>I hope you enjoy the giftI'm sure I will anon. As per tradition I will open your gift on the 25th at exactly 00:00 while I drink festivity juices. See you then!
>>284633945IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE WORK OF AIAI= Anonymous Intelligence
>>284640426Of course I fucked up the last quote.>>284620581
AM of FLIt seems that your second gift shipment will arrive on Christmas Eve according to UPS. I sent your first gift shipment over 2 weeks ago and it's been stuck at the same USPS facility since the 12th for some reason. That's what I get for using Canada Post I guess. I can't guarantee that one will arrive in time for Christmas, and I profusely apologize for that. Like I said though, the second shipment is the one with the card, and I think you'll like what I got you regardless.
MK from Poland, your very cute card arrived!Yeah, the Akito OVA was enjoyable enough, but it looked like things were becoming unnecessary and downhill from there. AND Kimura-san the designer is gone, so who knows how much the designs will suffer from that. I hope it learned from Roze and is at least fun.I missed the live posting for Cross Ange, Code Geass as well, but it was absolutely insane for Bravern, likewise for Akiba Maid Wars. Sometimes 4chan is half the fun of seasonal anime. Wish I went into it while only knowing of the real robot and serious military stuff from the initial promos so I could enjoy the full surprise. /m/ called the big twist since like, the first or second episode though, so I don't know if that made things less or more enjoyable. And yeah, after gen 4 I don't really know what's going on with Pokemon anymore, other than the part where things started getting worse. Don't worry about the markers, I completely get it and that's why I'm terrified of using markers myself, and it's nonetheless a very cute card, thank you! Merry Christmas!!!
>>284628685NV here. Is it >40$ in snacks? Or did you try to smuggle me a bunch of cigarettes because of my wishlist? I'll see if I can rescue your card, but I suspect there'll be a pretty high risk of it getting bounced back. If I haven't posted it by the 24th, feel free to share the pictures or send the photos through the Santas.If it gets returned, I'll be more than happy if you still want to send just the card by snail mail or whatever's cheapest. Will give me something to look forward to for Summer 2026.
>>284634203>>284635445that's beautiful alright. what kind of pencils is this
>>284638809Ah damn I'd love to get a card like that this year. Nice coloring
>some anon randomly decided to put my city's town hall as the background for all this cards even though he's from another countryinteresting...
Got a lovely long necked card from SM of UK. If you haven't finished SZS I can't recommend the rest enough too, I remember the initial season being mostly introductory and while it was good in its own right everything following that is where it really finds its footing in my opinion.
>>284640709Glad you liked it!
>>284640316>mailed my cards mid december>chart said they'd take 4 to 10 daysvery close call even with the mail working, guess I fucked up big time.
VV from France. Have you received your gift?
>>284639775Just write a list with the shows and characters I like
>>284642332I have but I have not touched or looked at the box. I'll probably open it for Christmas around 10AM CET.
>>284642332I have but it wasn't up to my standards so I decided to ignore it.
>>284642745>>284642885Thanks for the confirmation(s). 50% chance my Christmas is not ruined.
>>284643034Now that you said that, the percentage will only go down.
>>284640074>>284640249>>284640316I think my are lost too, Mexico imported mail isn’t the greatest. Plus if they did send candy or a box, they might not have known about import candy law enforcement. So that’s what i think happen.
>>284640074At least you got a tracking
>>284633200>it was zero-effort garbageHomo card or /ss/?
anon's cards received and posted by me 2/3my cards received and posted by anon 0/3
>>284643390Sorry anon, my dog ate your card before I had a chance to take a picture. He seemed to like the taste though, it made a good snack. Thanks!
>>284643424next time I'll make sure to use toxic colors so that your dog fucking dies
>>284643591Wtf don't kill anon's dog. Kill anon instead. Send him toxic cum cookies next year.
>>284643776how do I make my cum toxic without poisoning myself?
>>284643875Well anon, obviously you cum first and then you mix your manly juice with a few grams of potassium cyanide.
>>284643591Don't listen to the other anons, I'm all for total and absolute canine death. Make sure to spray the cards with a subtle dog food odor so they eat it when anon looks away.
>>284643987I wonder who could be behind this post.
>>284637046>"Love, Anon".PLEASE, I CAN ONLY GET SO ERECT >_<
>>284637475I always say "-S/a/nta" but this is a better idea
>>284637046"Watch better Japanese cartoons or I'm not sending a card to you next time, motherfucker. With love: Anon."
I thought for sure my cards would be posted this weekend, I sent them out the first week of December.
>>284644348Sorry anon, I think I accidentally trashed your card along with spam mail and newspapers I received. Don't worry though, I made sure they went into the paper bin so at least it got recycled. Small wins I know, but I hope it makes you feel slightly better about this.
>>284637046"Live Happily!"
>>284644716Cringe
>>284644734rude
>>284644348I sent three cards on the very first day of December and none of them have been posted yet. But two cards that I sent one week later appeared already. Fucking weird man.
>noticed on my country's post website that from 2026 sending packages international will cost doubleI feel sick
>>284644716That's exactly how I signed almost all of my cards this year, why are you copying me?
>>284644831Sorry buddy but I've been doing that since 2020, so YOU are the one copying me. I listed Subahibi on my wishlist if I receive anything related to it I'm gonna be so fucking jolly.
>>284644831>>284645011Amazing coincidence though. If the powers that be truly exist perhaps I'll receive one of your cards, it'd be incredible.
>>284645011>>284645490This may sound weird, but if any of you guys wants a 素晴らしき日々 card that will definitely be late (and by that I mean that you won't see it until mid-late January at least) you can send me your contact info and your list and I will eventually delivery. That's if you decide to trust me, of course.sweetsantaloli@gmail.com
>>284646302*eventually deliver
>>284640426>The hand that Louise is holding belongs to KirikaOh, I guess the card I made for you threw me off. That's very cool, I think Kirika is my favorite geah dess. I can't wait to see how the story continues!
>>284638809What, my card made it so fast this time!I actually drew a little mecha for my polish anon (WG), I hope he posts it when he gets it. > baked chestnuts ans buche I love chestnuts so that sounds pretty delicious.>What's the Romanian Christmas dish?There's quite a few of those since we love stuffing ourselves for the holidays but I'm mostly excited for cozonat (sweet bread pastry) and boeuf salad.>Can I ask how you made the gradients in the bow and the ball?Sure, I did it with copic markers, you can use any type of alcohol markers though and from my experience the paper is the most important because it allows the colors to blend nicely (I used Signum Musa , which is an italian heavier paper that works for pencils and ink and I didn't expect to be so good for markers, I highly recommend it!)I think watching Digimon might be a good idea, I need something to amp up the nostalgia for this season.Merry Christmas and enjoy the holidays!
a lot of cool cards
>>284633200Sacher Torte is actually my favorite cake, but sadly a bit difficult to send internationally. I also remember not liking mozartkugeln at all as a kid, which has changed (though I generally don't want to spend that much money on snacks). Since you mentioned austrian sweet stores, I always remember that I once saw a chinese tourist pair packing an entire large travel suitcase full with mozartkugeln in one of those shops in my city.I'm very glad you like the card and everything I've sent you! Merry Christmas to you and your waifu!>>284639965I'm very happy you like the card and treats. Wow, a thank you gift, I can't wait! Merry Christmas
You need tracking for white list cards? Always assumed it was a "proof of postage" which might as simple as taking a photo as you put in in the post bin or something
>>284648107Proof of postage is what I heard. That said, I still don't understand if there's a way for me to know if I got all my whitelist cards, specifically, or if it's just something the Santas keep track of and I can't know on my end (unless I do receive tracking for all of them).
>>284648107From what I remember, tracking for card is highly encouraged (REQUIRED for gift) but proof of postage for cards works.
>>284648107I've always put a tracking number since before whitelist existed. It's common fucking courtesy.
>>284646302Is this open to others? I'd love another card.
>>284648458>It's common fucking courtesy.It significantly increases the cost
>>284648541>I'll risk throwing my work in the void and an anon not getting a card to save a few dollars in a completely optional event where I pick the number of cards I send.Not surprised you can't fathom common courtesy.
>>284648619I am perfectly fine if some cards (mine or my santa's) are lost during the postage if it is going to significantly less for me or my santa. It is not the end of the world that some of the cards you receive or send don't make it anon.
>>284648516Yeah sure, why not. Go ahead, I'm bored these days and I want to draw stuff.
>>284648751Is it open to europoors
>>284648458I've just had to much trust in the system until now I guess>>284648739low effort card maxer detected
>>2846276742011 - 2025 /ss/ photo albums of cards and giftshttps://pastebin.com/KiFBcHRM2017 - 2025 /ss/ thread archives https://pastebin.com/u/SecretSanta2017Previous thread:>>284607100
>>284629868Should've gotten your shopping done last month, anon.
>>284648784Bitch I am europoor. Of course it is. In fact, if you're from Europe there's a chance that you will see your card before this event ends.
>>284648619$20-$30 per international card is more than I would consider a few dollars. Plus it comes with the complications filling out a customs form. I'm more inclined to believe that it is people who are supposed to be sending cards that are unreliable compared to the mail service actually loosing seemingly 50% of letter. I've never had issues with regular untracked international or domestic letters.
>>284648541So you're unable to set $10 aside every month during a whole 12 months? You're that poor?
>>284649087I'm not going to spend $100 on letters. Bragging about burning money is actual poorfag behavior. If you're worried about them reaching their destination on time or at all, pictures can be taken.
>>284649022>I've never had issues with regular untracked international or domestic lettersAre you in EU? I am starting to believe that it is a US problem since so many people complains about it. I never had issues as well.
>>284648891Sent, looking forward to it!
Hmm my finances are terrible and I'm also retarded, wonder what I should do on this year's /ss/ to save money.>Avoid international cards?No>Do less cards properly?No>Be scum that doesn't really care if his anon receives a card as long as I receive more?Bingo.
>I will burn more money even though it is not required and will call others poorfags and low effort card maxers if they don't do what I do
>>284649314I am in the US. It would make sense that sending between EU countries is cheaper since the distance is more like me sending between states. I'm assuming EU to EU customs is also more straight forward. For me, only packages going out of the US get tracking and the base price start fairly high even at the weight you would expect from just a card. Expecting people to pay over $20 compared to $1.75 for an international letter will filter out way too many people.
>>284644759Sorry anon, your card got briefly admired but then used as an impromptu coaster during a coffee emergency. Unfortunately it fused permanently to the table and got disintegrated into artistic pulp when I tried to save it. It lived a short but meaningful life. If It is any consolation the table is perfectly safe.
>>284649423I called you a low effort card maxer because you said you're perfectly fine with some cards getting lost. I didn't do any tracking myself, but I'd still be fucking disappointed if any of my 3 half-day effort cards didn't make it at all
>>284646302I'll trust you with everything I have.
>>284649682Sure, it is disappointing. But it is part of the event, and somewhat expected even. And as other anon said, I do take pictures so can always post those itt if my cards don't make it.
>>284649676Even if this story was real I'd be happy knowing that my ugly card served you as a coaster for a brief period of time.
Finally getting around to posting the cards that arrived.JB of AustraliaThank you for the card depicting the true Good End of Shiki, wherein Ichigo allows no evil to go unpunished. Things are pretty good for me at the moment as all my holiday prep has finished. I don't blame you for hating the kids but I will say upon my own rewatch, they didn't grate my on my nerves as badly. Majin Bone is probably the hardest sell on my list and I figured if I can't get someone to commit to a 50+ episode anime I could at least get them to watch a scene, so thank you for checking it out. Etotama's a good comparison, but it's not quite so stylized and doesn't have all the set pieces, but it more than makes up for it in the choreography.>Was that a fucking Anti-Spiral?No, just literally god.Thanks again and have a merry Christmas!
JM of MDThank you for the card and extra goodies! The chocolates were great and I love the ornaments. I didn't have CCS on my list but I do like it, yes. I love the idea of designing a coord around a Christmas carol and the dress really suits Ichigo! I don't think I'm that anon you mentioned, but I did commiserate with an anon over my lack of Aikatsu cards a while back. However, I've since had a steady stream of Aikatsu cards the past few years. I know it's mainly for smell imagination purposes, but I genuinely think the depiction of sweat in Takkyuu Musume is really cool because it is one of the only sports anime I have ever seen that actually shows clothing getting soaked in it. Clothing is never depicted as wet unless it's scene relevant like they got water dumped on their head or something. Even in training arcs when they're wearing normal clothes and not jerseys that would hide it, characters sweat entire rivers and their clothes don't reflect it at all. Not even towels do. It's just neat.
APN of BrazilI thought customs had stolen your card since it was held for so long and given up on it only for it to show up out of the blue one day. Somehow, you managed to hit all three of my least likely to receive a card of series. If you want to start on your to-watches, Chacha is a good comfy show for the winter, but it is pretty long. Amazing that I finally got another Majin Bone fan too, and it seems there's a chance that number will shoot up to 8. It was so unexpectedly cool. I just picked it up because of the Murata character design really and got a whole lot more than I was expecting. I had a look at Bubuki Buranki, but Yusuke Kozaki's child character designs look so strange, like little adults but not in the way children are supposed to. I'll still give it a shot to see it in motion. I'm saving the wrapped card to open on Christmas, so I'll get back to you on that then. Thank you for the card!Unfortunately the site that sells the Guyver sweater gives off a bunch of red flags for selling bad cheap quality clothing. They're not even sweaters, just shirts printed to look like them.
>>284638170Glad you got it, even if the state's wrong! And enjoy those big ol tiddies of Fuuka's! Merry Christmas!
>>284650413I wish I had such a nice handwriting, and it is in ink no less
>>284638170Do NOT lewd the Fuuka
>>284650708The author disagrees. Lewd the Fuuka.
This is it huh, no tracking, no confirmation of receiving gift. Merry Christmas /ss/
>>284605745I haven't received anything yet anon, maybe next week's the charm. And don't worry, strikes usually don't last more than 1 day around these parts. Certainly nothing like those Canada Post horror stories I keep hearing about.
How does this work? Aren't you guys scared of being doxxed? I wanna join next year
>>284651274You post your name and address and favourite anime in the threads, and hope for the besr
M of RomaniaUnfortunately I couldn't finish your card this weekend due to an emergency which required a crew of workers and my full attention as they dug out half the garden. I will do it tomorrow instead of working and send it the same day
>>284651274>How does this work?The registrations starts early October. Search for "secret santa" "/ss/" threads in weekends. >doxxedfor what? reading 4chan? You can use an alias if you wish (although it might make the delivery more unpredictable) or use a PO box if you are that worried
>>284649532At least you’re not like Denmark were they are killing off postage mail. If the USA is going through it I assume it might be for the Voting so they can get corrupt politicians elected.
>>284651374It is not the emergency, it is you not doing the card already and waiting until this weekend. It was already too late this weekend.At least include an apology in your message.
>>284651408Mail within the US is thankfully ok. I sent a box with extras across the country for only $14. A bubble mailer with tracking would likely be around $5 and would be cheap enough you could start harassing people for not getting it. It is just international mail that becomes a problem since the cheapest option with tracking is expensive and doesn't allow enough weight to even add extras to make the cost worthwhile.
>>284650413Glad you liked it! From misforwarding stuff to customs shenanigans, Correios and USPS are giving me a heart attack in this whole event, and I'm thankful I sent my stuff way in advance. This reflected on card quality, once again couldn't work much on them, and I hope you enjoy this little gift.But yeah, Majin Bone is great, and I only realized way later that Murata was behind the designs. Even if you think the designs are off-putting, Bubuki Buranki got a nice 3d animation (feels like it's a lower framerate but the there's a lot of charm in the models and they look great in action), so it's worth checking if you liked Majin Bone (which is still better in this regard IMHO).I'm also trying to find the best source to get Chacha episodes. In the end, after sending the cards I only got Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume in my list.Too bad about the sweater though.>>284650557Well, thanks. Was a lecturer for some time so... nothing beats practice. You can do it!
>>284651398>for what? reading 4chan?no but despite being on this site for more than a decade it just feels scarry putting your whole name/address out, despite trying to use a pseudonym
I'd like to join handmade tier next year, but I only know how to make jewellery. Considering most of /a/ is male, not sure how well that would fly.
>>284651726I wouldn't mind if it is gold. Jokes aside you can find something to make from anon's wishlist perhaps
Todays my birthday today! I should probably post some cards I got over the weekend, thank you all these coming around this time make them feel like birthday wishes! DC of IL I got your card, sorry it took me a while to post it. I am going to enjoy the snacks, the chocorooms especially! I love those things!I also really adore this cute yarn art of my wife in her sexy santa outfit, she's just adorable!I do need to watch CITY, I enjoyed Nichijou but I haven't had much time for it, maybe I can watch it during this brief break I have for the holidays. I also really enjoyed Tonegawa's anime, it and the other comedy spin offs like Ootsuki-san's are always fun to read for a nicle chuckle. And yes I chose Taiki, because she can fucking GRILL. Have a Merry Christmas, anon!
>>284651726That depends on what type it is. Earrings might not go over well with most anons, but if it's a bracelet or something? Could be good.
>>284651726cock rings, obviously
>>284651274All you need to know is the average response time of your local police force at 3a.m. and you are good to go
>>284650413>>284651709Majin Bone and BBK/BRNK fans? In 2025?Must be the Christmas miracle!I still wish for Reoko breaking out from prison OVA
>>284651820Card number 2! JS of MO Thank you for the card! I love Space Jolly on the cover, hopefully he's here to bring booty to all the dandy boys and dandy girls of the universe. I also really really adore the picture of my wife inside, she looks so adorable and ready for Christmas! I want to kiss her so badly...The sketch kaiji is funny too, thank you again for the card!Have a Merry Christmas!
>>284651820>Todays my birthday today!Happy birthday, Aki-anon.
>>284651709>>284650413>Bubuki BurankiI would definitely recommend Bubuki Buranki as well. It's really good and way underrated. The 3D animation is way better in the second season so it's worth sticking with if you get put off by its looks initially. Like a certain other anime which is often mentioned in these threads.
>>284651932It looks like he tried to write while holding the pen in his mouth.
>>284651726There is a lot skills that jewelry transfers over to. Cosplay jewelry for example. Their wife wears something then recreate it
anon from NC Thank you for the card I love the little TV segment on Akane's panties. She'd definitely become a hikikomori for a few months after something like that, haha. I've watched all of Danmachi and love it (Hestia is Worstia), but I've never finished Frieren so I'll give that another try, it's not too long anyways. I love the card, thank you and have a wonderful Christmas.
>>284651450I wrote a long message including apologies and rewrote it several times until I got confusedI will now commit sudoku (but not before posting the card)
>>284651726If you think of it as a work of art to be displayed instead of worn, it gets easier. Wedding ring inspired by waifu, a prop replica, that sort of thing. There used to be an anon who made pendants.
>>284651820I'm glad you like it. You might have some of the best taste I've seen over the years so please continue that habit.And jokes aside, Howdy's a good horse and would welcome a BBQ anytime.Glad you liked it and Happy Birthdaym/a/s!
>>284650275I'm glad everything arrived safely. The commotion over Aikatsu in the threads was enough to leave a lasting impression on me, so I'm assuming that is part of why your idol card rate has gone up. I'd guess more sports anime aren't as sweaty because it is probably hard to animate well. For something seemingly a bit niche, I am really glad the takkyuu's got an animation studio that seemed to really care. I said I would have made a sweaty doki doki card, but actually coloring sweaty cloths is beyond my artistic abilities and I could only make that claim knowing I didn't have to actually back it up. I hope you continue to have a good Kurisumasu
>>284639570Glad you got it! It's okay I always ask for the same character on all my cards.Glad you liked milky subway, have you seen milky highway? It's the first entry in this series, just 8 minutes.Anyways, I'm fully ready and excited for christm/a/s now.
MS of PAThanks for the card, neighbor. Why is Momoko threatening to beat poor Kamo with a boomerang? Shit man, 10 years is a long time without cute girls and cute things, I'd recommend the premier of the genre (aside from K-On!) Yuru Yuri. Maybe Love Lab too, it's less mindless. I actually plan to binge watch Lucky Star with my friends at our Christmas party even though they couldn't care less about anime. I also don't know how you could say any of the keions are shit, they're all great, Nodoka is underrated though. My favorite "girl with a gun" has to be the guns themselves from Upotte!, or Yuuri from GLT if she counts. Appreciate the warm wishes to my girl (maybe actually waifu) Umi and I, and I wish you too a Merry Christmas. Believe it!!!
>>284633285Sorry anon, I was lighting my fireplace to get into the Christmas mood and didn't notice that your card had been mixed with the scrap paper next to it. It burned very well and had no problems helping build the fire. If it is going to make you feel better the fireplace really set the mood for my Christmas and that was all thanks to your card. They added real holiday warmth and thank you very much for that.
>>284651274>Aren't you guys scared of being doxxed?I'm fat, balding, ugly and extremely virile. Come get me if you dare
>>284654009Raping men is gay.
>>284654222I'm a cute little girl though. So if I rape you it would be straight.
JM from AZ Don't worry I got your card safe and sound. It's more Silent Hill vibes here than Resident Evil since we get a lot of fog in the spring and fall. The drawing you did of Akane is gorgeous, absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. Naru is my all time favorite girl from Barakamon, the kinds of trouble and adventures she gets into always make me smile. Somehow I haven't seen the prequel either, I keep hearing how good it is. P.S. You drew my DFC waifu with big breasts, how could you!Merry Christmas anon, and have a wonderful new years as well. I'm sure we'll see each other again during the r/a/dio threads or the Wotos stream.
Thank you so much to ID of CA for the Mina card! I'm glad that you enjoyed what you've watched of the show so far. The more people I've talked to, the more it seems like I'm one of the minority who thinks as highly of the series as I do, so I'm happy to see when people enjoy it as well. I wouldn't worry, though, since I'd hardly consider this card arriving late. It arrived early last week, so there was still plenty of time left. Make sure to keep taking care of yourself!The cookies were very good too. I've come to really like taro flavours recently, so I really liked them. They might not have contained any "love" but I'm happy regardless. Thanks again, and I hope you have a very merry Christmas too!
>>284654586Based forest enjoyer
BR of CA, coming to let you know that your package has arrived safe and sound! Don't worry, I will be waiting to open the gifts until Christmas like a good anon. The coasters are all cute, and I'll have to set up my little tree to put the ornament on. As an anime-only, I was happy to see that Anko became an actual character in the second season, and didn't just stay as "mysterious smoking woman in a trenchcoat" (which I still would have been happy with, fwiw, since it is a cool archetype).I hope your last couple of days before Christmas go well, and I'll be back again to say 'thanks' in a couple days time!
>>284651932Glad you enjoyed the card and that it arrived quickly! I'm sure Space Jolly is busy delivering Gunppla and such to the good boys/girls across space as we speak. Merry Christmas!>>284652000I have often been told that with my handwriting I should have been a doctor.
>>284654586cool card
>Get tracking number on the 13th>It says WL card was sent on the 4th and delivered on the 9th>Didn't get anything
>>284655595You should go to your local post office tomorrow and yell at them until they give you your card. Worked for me last year.
NV from UKI fully dedicated whatever little free time I had over the last week to get your card done and I finally shipped it yesterday along some goodies I declared to be around 5 pounds, so I guess it'll start its long journey tomorrow. Honestly I'd be surprised if you get it anytime before february. Sorry about that, but overall I'm pretty happy with the result, I really hope it doesn't get lost in the way.Expect a tracking number soon!
E from GermanyI still need your last name to ship your WL card. The post office won't let me ship internationally without it.
>he is proud about his late card
>>284654586Gorgeous
>>284655718thanks for the update. that is my last name, do you need my first name?
>>284627422I'm glad it made it out to you safe and sound! I forget if I had mentioned in the card, but xxxHolic was one of the first anime that I had gone out and watched, so its a pretty nostalgic title for me. I am due for a re-watch, since I really can't remember a ton about the story anymore.>spoilerI am intrigued that you have some sort of negative experience with origami. Hopefully it isn't too bad for you!
>>284656432Yeah, if you don't mind
>>284656460An origami fucked his mother.
>>284656471just put Bernd, it won't matter on my side
>>284656622I hate when that happens
Thank you Anon of Germany? for the lovely Yachiru card you really captured her presenceCute but unbelievably horny. It thoroughly amuses me that I seemingly forced you to read Authors 100% undisguised fetish and I have to agree I have no idea where this stories going but I'm here for whatever it is.2025's been great, and I'm still waiting impatiently for Dungeon Meshi Season 2.Hope you have a Very Merry Christmas, and a great 2025 Anon!
>>284655731Well somehow the last card suggests to my dumb brain that I now can put in even more time and effort because it's the last one and I will be done after.
NH of CT, your package was dropped off yesterday. I plead, if you won't be home soon please have someone you know come and grab it, a lot of work and effort went into your gift and it'd be horrible if it was stolen
>>284656865Hey, glad it arrived. I'm probably an idiot sending out cards without tracking and without even a return adress but that also makes it more suspenseful>It thoroughly amuses me that I seemingly forced you to read Authors 100% undisguised fetishyou really did lol. but I enjoy it, Yachiru has great cuteness levels and I like the artstyle, even though I've never really thought about getting dominated by a giantess in my life I will also continue with Dungeon Meshi, it's just so creative with the different creatures and foodsMerry Christmas and a great new year to you as well!
>>284656865very nice card and cute tree
>>284640875Thanks, they're markers! Various brands were used here but I very much don't recommend the Temu knockoffs kek
>>284657237What is his address, I will check if it is safe and secure
>>284651274I've only been doxxed once in the 10+ years I've been exchanging cards.
>>284657725Was it by a leaf?
>>284657805Nope, a Spaniard who didn't know what part of the address was a county or a town.
>>No.284605745Are you BW from UK ? If yes then I have received your card and posted in the last thread. If your not then I haven't gotten it yet, but I'll keep a look out for it!
>>284653944It's supposed to be a gun I'm sorry. I'm really sorry this card ended up coming out poorly. I see the pencil smeared in transit etc. I am very aware that my art/craft skills are bottom of the barrel but I do try despite how they look. If anyone reading this has card art/craft ideas for somebody with profound fine motor skills issues please please reply, I'm all ears. Outside of that though, yeah I just haven't found CGDGT that appealing or interesting in years but I did really like K-ON. Ritsu was my favorite. Lucky star was fun but the first episode or two are not that great. "Which side of the chocolate coronet is the front?" is not excellent comedy, but it picks up after episode 3ish from memory. I enjoyed it a lot and I hope you enjoy it too. Merry Christmas, and I hope you do participate again next year! Secret santa is very fun and filled with love, despite the shitposters.Love you and always will.
>>284658386Just trace bro, it is what we all do
>>284658434I will probably start.
>>284658434>traceMight as well use AI...
>>284658736Why not both, tracing AI art is virtually undetectable and your anon will never find the source and will think you drew it by hand
>>284655327Thank you for letting me know, idk how it arrived so fast.>and I'll be back again to say 'thanks' in a couple days time!Hopefully you still think that way after you open them.>>284656460Yeah, you did mention, I haven't watched the anime but I do remember the manga nostalgically.>>284656622Pretty much.
Anon what the fuck. I just got home and saw your gift!? Bro what the fuck
>>284659538It doesn't even fit on my shelf I'm flipping out
>>284659587I've been waiting to see the stained glass giftlooks really cool
>>284659587Is that glass? Yeah those horns will break off with the slightest breeze.
Are you fucking retarded???? Why the fuck did you open it now?!?!?!?! It's a Christmas gift not a December 21st gift
>>284659587Is it heavy?
>>284659587Y-you have it backwards... did you not like the paint?
>>284659721Shit, it is the christmas cop, everyone hide your opened giftsno one gives a fuck anon.
>>284659753
>>284659753It's supposed to look like this, hung up!
>>284659587>>284659538Did glass anon decide to send his huge ass gift without prior agreement
>>284658596Jaken-sama wouldn't want that.....
>>284659808>>284659538>>284659587Unfathomably based. Maximum jolly. Beautiful Santa. God bless.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant
>>284659587It's absolutely fine anon as well. I just used some glass cleaner and it cleaned it right up, no scuffs really. I think it looks great. I didn't expect you to leave it already. I was totally going to treat you to something since you were going to drop it off yourself. >>284659685It's really nice. Seriously. I sat looking at it just thinking 'what the fuck' for a good 10m>>284659700I take good care of my wife>>284659808It's dark! I couldn't actually tell which way it was supposed to be hung up rings visible or not visible. I think it'll be more apparent when it's sunlight. I just walked in my door and saw the box in the hallway you fucking madlad. You're lucky I got curious because I didn't think you even dropped it off yet with Santa's replies
>>284659587>rape-ccio>lallah, sayla, AND MULTIPLE CHARS>those nailsyou're a w*man aren't you anon...
>>284659909Are you suggesting this gift is a bit demicky?
>>284659808kill me>>284659817n-no it was handmade tier gift... my shading...
>>284659808>>284660069
>>284660023>MULTIPLE CHARSSorry just a fag but I love showing off just the figs of my wife. I have too much merch though for one pic
Fucking idiots man, fucking guy didn’t realize you open gifts in the 25th.
>it happens againEvery year some retard opens early. Was it that mordred guy last year or was it the one before last?
>>284660115Triangulating position...... >>284660130I kneel to this high class weeb. A dying breed, gentlemen.
>>284660157>>284660158Majority of gifts arrive after Christmas anyway
>>284659587Jesus fucking christ, clip your fingernails you disgusting monster.
>>284659587This is extremely cool. Can't imagine how many mailmen anon had to take hostage to actually get something of this size delivered in one piece in time for Christmas. Kind of relieved it wasn't sent to me
>>284660157>you open gifts in the 25th.Well, that really depends on the recipient's country and their tradition. We do it at Christmas Eve over here. But yeah, haven't heard of anywhere where it's done this early.
>>284659721organizers pick their own santas and can open stuff early, didn't you know?
>>284640821 No, it's about $13 dollars worth of snacks, it's not worth spending the money. I'll send the pictures of your card and make a new card for you and my German anon to make up for it. Sorry again man I may genuinely be retarded. Side tangent this new shape and letter captcha is garbage, its even worse than the old slide the bar to get the letters captcha
Did anyone consider that it may just not have been wrapped inside the box, being sharp glass and all
>>284660284I see no difference between card and gift posting, but I'm also going to be working 16s this whole week and actually just came from celebrating early with my family. I felt anon deserved to know that I both loved it, and got the gift because he came in person to drop it off but I wasn't home.Anyways anon I just hung it up. Made my fucking year
>>284654987That is an adorable mina tepes, the dance in the vampire bund anime is one of my favorites even if it is chaotic. And a cute saya to boot!
>>284660284>But yeah, haven't heard of anywhere where it's done this early.Which should tell you that you shouldn't do it.I know where you live, I'm on my way to enforce santa justice.
>>284661001Shall I have the knives ready Santa master?
>>284660436I wish I had my gift early so I could open it. From the looks of it, I doubt if I will have it before these threads end
ANON YOUR GIFTS ARE IN THE UK ILL TRY MY BEST TO GET THEM TO YOU ON TIME
I received a good few cards! I’ve been distracted but I will post them now for you all!Uk anon that sent me this very impressive card, thank you! Thank you as well for the free battery, haha. Usagi looks adorable and in her school uniform! As for your judgements, I like fish! What can I say, usually im torn apart for my entire list so it’s an improvement! Thank you again, I’ll try and decipher this address so I can send a thank you letter~
Surely today will be the day all my cards land in my inbox
MK from Poland, thank you so much for your lovely card! The very festive snufkin is very appreciated, he looks incredibly charming. I watched Moomins in the early mornings as a kid but fell back into it heavily a few years ago and watched all the episodes of the original anime again alongside ALOT of strange adaptions from around the world, including the polish fuzzy felt version! They are so very charming, 70s media I love. As for your wishes, I’m hoping ufotable cool it on the cgi as well…..not very hopeful but oh well. I wish you luck catching up however!! Thank you again for the lovely card!
>>284653734I did! I'm a sucker for when music is synched to action (like in episode 6 and the finale) so that stocks definitely increased in value here. We could do with some more indie projects like this and I will be watching out for this YoHey guy.
MK from Canada, thank you so much for the lovely cards! The decor is impressive, I loved the sailor moon sticker stamps! Please however, never think your cards aren’t equal, I appreciate every card I recieve. It does make me happy you like my previous efforts, I remember being very upset with how one of them came out ahahaha. The stickers! Thank you, I am switching my sketchbook just in time for my trip to asia, these will be used as decor have no fear. Thank you again so much!
i still have my secret santa letters/gifts from 2012
N of NYYour gift should arrive by next tuesdayJL of WIMS of ILJM of AZJS of MOyour cards are on the way, not sure when they'll get there though. If they don't get there by christmas, email santa for pictures
>>284661708I forgot the image like a dunce
Please refrain from opening or posting your gifts before Christmas.
>>284661743Damn, that Usagi looks so good.
>>284659825Jaken sama I'm so conflicted. Lord sesshomaru help me.
>>284661708Homocard! I appreciate looking for my 2 boys, they are indeed NOWHERE in japan or asia for that matter, I have a feeling when their(?) movie is released, they’ll jump in popularity. Genya has a few oshi girls, not many sadly and I’ve had a few confused reactions when others have seen any merch I sport of him on any given day(proudly!). Gyomei, his merch is often in the 50 yen pile, AGAIN, I feel like he’ll jump in popularityufotable im begging you to animate him as pretty as he became in the manga. These stickers tho, I shall use! Thank you again!! The card really made me laugh as well~
>>284660130based char husbando haver, you're one of the good ones
I ordered a gift from Japan the monday after American thanksgiving, shipped by EMS and it's been stuck going between Aichi and Shizuoka for the past 3+ weeks. Is anyone else having this problem? Fug I should have used DHL or FedEx instead.
HB from NCI got your gift, is there anything preventing opening it?
>>284652006YAY!!! That makes all three of the cards that i sent getting posted! I'm glad you loved it! I worked pertty hard on it. >Hestia is WorstiaTHEM'S FIGHTIN' WORDS!!!!!
>>284658386Oh I'm just teasing you man, don't worry about it lmao, it's obviously a gun. As long as you try, it's better than tracing anyway. The card was actually actually poking out of the envelope it was in, I think it got damaged, which might be cause for the pencil smear. Ritsu is great, and I truly believe the first episode of Lucky Star is a filter, since I had already tried to watch it years ago and the 20 minute dialogue about a fuckin pastry killed me. But after that it's great! Love you too, Anon.
>>284475028Since you never posted the inside of the card here it is.
CP from VA thank you for the wonderful card and candies as pre-gift teasers. your effort-gifting and artistic talent is what inspires me to do better on my own gifts each year :) I'm excited to open the rest probably a couple days late as I'll be spending xmas in vegas, baybee
>>284662446by which I mean the shipping box, not the gift
Finally getting to my cards.First off we have SA from Austria with the very cute Nia wearing a santa hat! Also I didn't notice Yin in the background of your card which is very cool! I'm embarassed to admit that I had a hard time reading some of your cursive, specifically on the Ruri Rocks section. Everything else was fine, I hope you get to finish Darker than Black S1 when you have the time! Also its not included in the pic but thank you so much for the chocolates with a whole typed out list of the ingredients, that was funny to me. Merry Christmas/ Happy New Year's Anon!
ZS from Greece, your card arrived about an hour ago. Thank you for the wonderful card, it might be the physically biggest card I've received, but I'd need to find my folder of cards to fact check that. Even Mahoro is powerless against the might of Konata and Piltia's ecchi prowess.The inside and back of the card gave me a chuckle (admittedly stumped by the punchline for the left hand 5 koma). We're all drawn together by a combination of fate and general dumbassery.Great to hear you've checked out Reviewers. Nameko at #1 is an interesting choice, the mushrooms aren't really ones I think about too often but it was a good episode. For me it's1. Piltia, naturally2. Tiaplate, her entire segment was incredible.3. Elza, her and Crim's dynamic is pure "god I wish that were me" fuel.Extra honorary 1st place to Fem Zel, happy the manga had a sequel for the Genderswap Inn.Thank you also for the tabi. Unfortunately I don't have a miko outfit laying around (yet) so I can't get the most out of them, but they're very comfortable once you get past the slight weirdness of how it works compared to regular socks, I'm still wearing them as I type this. I wanted to do socks again myself this year but a bunch of stuff prevented me from doing it financially, which sucks because I found some good ones.The chocolate did melt so it's currently in the fridge, same with the smaller deal. I have to imagine it being hot as fuck yesterday did it.Thanks again for the card, I'm excited for you opening your gift.For archiving purposes, here's a link for the full picture since sizing it down fucked with the text:https://files.catbox.moe/0ftzes.pngAnd also a second link for the uncovered comic panels on the back.https://files.catbox.moe/kqx3t9.jpg
>>284663782And, of course, I have to deliver on the goods.
alright, time to post cards! (apologies for taking so long to post these. it sounds autistic but I wanted to finish my strike gundam so I could pose it with my tree and cards)First card is from RS from IApt 1 of 2
>>284663894 pt 2Thank you so much for the amazing card and the RX-78 toy! I will be taking this with me to put on my office desk once I am back waging after the holidays. I wish I could do color shading a fraction as good as you can here. you'll have to teach me your secrets! Hope you have a merry christmas as well!
>>284663937And a inside close up!
Card 2 is from SA from Austria!Thank you so much for the card and candy! The Mozartkugel white is really amazing! It reminds me of marzipan in taste! (I might have to buy some more of these).It's always nice to see another big fan of mordred! I think there are at least 3-4 of us in /ss/. Eve from needless is very cute and lewd. Funny enough I had actually randomly stumbled on the opening on youtube a while back and the snippets of her in the OP is what sold me on watching the show. Hope you have a Merry Christmas as well!
>>284661874>>284661743>>284661708Glad they made it. I still can't believe the odds that you picked the only two characters I couldn't find anything for so I just had to bite the bullet with some random selection. Hope you enjoy your trip, where are you going?
>>284663030I get you, there are a bunch of cards where its contents (with drawings and all) didn't make it to the yearly album because my anon only posted the cover.
L from TXI finally got around to opening your package and everything arrived intact and is now under the tree. I can't believe I finally get to have beaver nuggets again, it's been too long since I've seen that beaver. I'm really looking forward to Christmas day!
>>284664156LG from TX to be more specific
>>284664061Extra drawings notwithstanding, but isn't it alright to leave out the message? I felt that sometimes the message is a little too personal to that anon so its okay to keep it private.
and card 3 from JH of OK, with an adorable Mihoshi!I'm always happy to see when other people like tenchi too! funny enough, my first experience with the series was when I was young with toonami, so I always was fond of her dub voice even though I've long since stopped watching dubs. Curious if you like her japanese voice or the dub since I know some people think her japanese voice is a bit obnoxious.if you're interested in kinnikuman I'd recommend checking out the storytime threads! someone recently actually did (and is still going through I think) a kinnikuman storytime of the manga and sequel manga. It's very fun reading a long and seeing the thread "pop" like a wrestling crowd when big stuff happens.I hope you have a merry Christmas as well!
>>284664227Also the inside!l with suguru!
>>284664227I will not lie I've only seen the dub for Mihoshi since I watched it with friends who streamed it (and are mostly dubfags for convivence sadly). I'll have to check out that storytime, I do worry about spoilers or jumping in the middle of stuff.Also cute tree and ornaments! Thanks for the kind words and have a Merry Christmas!
>>284662654>Those ornamentsI got a 2024 one last year and I have it hanging. I didn't know there were more secret santa ornaments to collect. Did you make them yourself or did you get the same anon over and over?
>>284664045Japan, China and maybe South Korea…depending. The typical spots but I haven’t left the country for 6 years due to family, I’m excited to explore!
>>284663570Card #2, AC from INWhat's up man! Glad to see you again too! Your drawing of Inami punching the grinch was pretty funny. That's cool that you started to watch Gundam, out of the 22 shows which one is your favorite? Also I have only partially finished my RG Nu Gundam gunpla, need to get back on it.I will also watch Needless someday it's on my backlog. I am not an avid fan of the Ramen Rider franchise(Not that I hate it, I just haven't seen it before), the Kamen Rider anime that's on this season is my first introduction into the series. Glad you're enjoying it by watching it from the very beginning.Anyways, Merry Christmas / Happy New Year's AC! P.S. thank you so much for the Inami keychain, I put it and the Nia keychain you gave last year on my tenor sax's zipper pull tag case.
>>284663980Also! I almost forgot, but I'd highly recommend reading kengan ashura since you were interested! There are a few older storytime threads of it that are a fun read! (The sequel series is not as good, which is ironic considering how good the first manga is)
And card 4 from DA of WA!PT1
>>284664564And pt2!Thank you so much for the wonderful card with Lime and Ippo!I hope you like Saber Marionette! I picked it up sort of randomly this year after it was in my youtube recommended after watching an OVA, and I was surprised by how much I loved it! I definitely agree that this era of artstyle really has an amazing appeal to it!Did you have a favorite character from Ippo? I'm a big Mashiba fan. Sorry to hear about your Grandfather, I have to visit mine this year for christmas, who is not in great health so it will be a bit stressful, I feel your pain.Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
>>284664591Also a close up on the great ippo vs Grinch!
>>284664612And lime!
>>284663155>I'll be spending xmas in vegas, baybee>HanukkahYou really love money, don't you?
>>284631038Glad you got it! I'm kind of curious how they even turned mahjong into a gatcha kek. How different is it from typical mahjong?
>>284635057Glad to see you got it!I still remember the seeth woli would trigger. Funny to see people so happy he got beat recently.Coincidentally I also got the pgu during black Friday! Good luck with the new one, the price is too insane for me to justify purchasing it lol. Zz is good so far, I still think our of the main 3 the original is my favorite so far. Very excited to watch seed after CCA though.Universe is the TV version and sort of in a different timeline, OVA is definitely with a watch and is my favorite! The original few sets of the ova are only a few hours and you can find them on YouTube I think.War on geminar is also a great spinoff of the series and has a very cute brown elf. It also has Gundam style mobile suits because why not.Hope you have a merry Christmas too!
>>284635484>>284637179Glad to see you got it! My first exposure to the series was actually some of the reaction images! It's super cute so far!Mery Christmas to you as well!
>>284663894>>284663937>>284664470Hey I'm glad that the card got to you safely. I never know with the way the post office has been the last few years. I'm happy that you like the card and the lil' toy! I had a lot of fun making the card. I'm seriously going to pick up Kengan Ashura on your recommendation, looks like it should be pretty damn fun.Merry Christmas, Anon!P.S. That Strike Gundam is pretty damn snazzy!
>>284664430I've only seen the first 3 so far but 79 is my favorite right now! RG nu and the hi nu are some of the coolest looking mobile suits! It's a bit of an odd pick, but I think my overall favorite design is for the calamity Gundam.If you get around to watching needless let me know how you like it. Hope you have a merry Christmas as well!
>>284664430Card #3, TG from VAYou drew a pretty cool card! And I'm not just talking about the galaxy drill going up Kittan's ass. The background is pretty nice too, did you use white paint or something for the stars?Anime with a lot of action and flashing colors of epilepsy just triggers the monkey shounen toddler side of my brain. It's a disease I know please help. But I'm glad you also like Hinamatsuri! Gonna get controversial here maybe(maybe not?) but the Japanese are not fucking funny at all. Look at that stand up comedy shit with the straight man and the guy making jokes, it does not tickle my funny bone. Hinamatsuri is one of the few anime that I've seen that has got me chortling like a retard. If you know of any anime like that let me know. CITY is on my watchlist, so I'll watch it soon and I'll check out the other stuff you recommending. Sorry for the normalfag mention but images of Milky Subway kinda looks like KPop Demon Hunters no offense.Merry Christmas / Happy New Year TG!
>>284664690The only gacha part is rolling for the characters you play as (voices, splash screens during scoring, and cut-ins during wins). And it's incredibly stingy on it. The rest of the game is still just online riichi mahjong. They have some meme game modes too, plus a half-baked mahjong balatro clone.I forgot to say thank you for the Suiseiseki keychain. Did you make this? I noticed a bunch more in the thread in the same style, and from seemingly different enough series that it'd be unlikely for that to be a coincidence
>>284665028Keychains/stands aren't my art, I do editing/prep with existing art I hand pick and then turn them into keychains/stands basically. Sent these out with all my cards as an extra cute trinket which is why you've probably seen several.
>>284664967Nice! I think I mentioned it in my card wishlist but Zeta Gundam is my personal favorite, plus the mobile suit as well. 79 is good but the animation is hard to watch, I almost didn't get into UC and the franchise as a whole because of the animation. After I finish Soro no Woto I'll check out Needless for sure, I need something with some action/ecchi. Merry Christmas!
>>284665175It's very well done, looks professional. How did you do it? Laser cut the profile and then make a mold for UV resin? And how did you get the front and back image alignment to be perfect?She'll be joining my other handmade ornaments by anons to be cherished
Convince me not to open my gifts right now. I'm fiending for joy!
It cost me 34 fucking bucks to ship my gift, goddamnit. My anon should get his gift tomorrow though. Moe from CA. Was busy so I hadn't had time to make a post in the threads so I hope you didn't think I was grinching ya.
>>284651274I have done this for years and I am an unimportant black guy, who cares about me that much to both doxx me and to come to my house?
>>284651274Show up to my house, nigga. We can discuss anime. However, if you have gacha on your wishlist, I reserve the right to shoot you down in my private domicile.
>>284651274>How does this work?You fill out the google doc linked in the OP of the threads in very late september-October, posted on weekends. Nov1st is cutoff date for signups>Aren't you guys scared of being doxxed?No not at all. I share a name with a British actor who played one of the most popular Doctors on Doctor Who. Come find me.>I wanna join next yearI want you to join next yet too, Don't forget to join!
>>284665958Santa anon needs to send a reminder to whitelisters, I almost missed out this year before the sign up was november the year before and it was september this time.
>>284664188In my case it feels like a waste because usually I put most of the effort inside, those drawings are not an extra but the heart of the cart. Part of the event is about sharing that, and I really enjoy the experience of going through everyone's cards and fun ideas although I admit I look at the writings from time to timeHowever, if they don't post it I don't pressure them or post it myself, it just stays between the two of us and becomes a more intimate experience.
>>284463308Don't know if you're here or not but I got it, waiting for Christmas to post it.
>delivery on or before 29-12-25I don't think it's gonna make it on time...
>>284663782>Those socksTrue fear comes not from the unknown, but from knowing what's coming and being unable to prevent it
>>284617328>by the way every gem has a different flavor, I would love to see if you can guess themLet me know if I got these wrong>Sapphire blueberry >Pyritemint (my favorite)>Zincitepeach>Opalstrawberry>Fluoriteapple>Rhodoniteraspberry>Galenacoke>MeteroitechocoThere's a couple I missed since I already tried them before reading your post gomen but they were all good, thanks again!
>anon posts all his cards except mine even though I sent mine a month ago
>>284666897Sorry anon, I did pick your card up from the post box but on the way inside I stepped squarely into my dog's crap. In a moment of pure survival instinct I grabbed the nearest piece of paper, which unfortunately was your card, and used it as an impromptu cleaning rag. I have to say though, excellent texture. Surprisingly absorbent, great grip, really got into the grooves of my shoe. Genuinely impressive paper quality. Thank you very much.
>>284666939So one of my cards became the crap and one was used to get rid of it
>>284666939Men you gotta train this dog better. First it ate someone's card and now it is shitting in your front yard
>>284667163and setting traps to make them fall
>>284667129The cycle of life.
>>284641238Glad you got it, I never really noticed the long looong necks when I was drawing my masterpiecesI'll do my best to watch it, so much in my backlog and so little time because of how many stupid seasonals I watchBut I'll do it!!Have a merry Christmas!
>>284660115>>284659808With those two photos I concluded that you live at your own house +/- 10km
>>284650431>even if the state's wrong! Explain. Is it one of those American town names that's used in like 5 different states and only one of them is the famous one?
IS of IL, USAOne of the DHL depots decided they wont move your gift any further because they dont have a real name (you gave a pseudo one) Can you mail the santas some sort of real name to use and i'll phone them back. DHL phoned me saying they don't mind changing it.If you're comfortable can you also include an email and/or phone number since i just used mine, otherwise you should be able to change that stuff yourself with the tracking number on DHL's website i believe.Don't know why they were cool with shipping it then some random depot down the line decided nah
>>284627674I want Chaika season 3 in my stocking
>>284667940In case you haven't already, it is probably better to mail Santas as well so they can email your anon. It is possible he won't be checking this thread
>>284668014i did do that too yea
>>284661607Glad you liked it!I also must do this kind of rewatch, especially after learning few years ago that the version I saw in my country was basically half of what was made in Japan, lmao.
>>284663809Cute legs!
>>284661750i'm driving to chicago today and flying home to thiruvananthapuram tomorrow so I opened it already t_t should I not post it?
>>284668297I am grinching you next year if you post it.
>>284668297post it on christmas and pretend you just opened it, because it's a bit of a bummer when people do this even if it can't be helped
>>284668150Th-thank you!
>still no cards>new mailman service places envelopes absolutely wherever, dodging safe places with a passion>call HQ to ask for a phone number so I can investigate if I they have anything for me>"we can't give you their phone"I'm getting kinda pissed at this point.
>>284663809>>>/soc/>>>/lgbt/
>>284665958Wait so you also share the exact same name from a famous person. My is from a soccer player, Baseball player and boxer. If someone is going to dox me, they have a 75% chance of not finding me. Also it’s why i had to go with an alis-name because it’s very common first name with my ancestors last name having some sort of historical significance that it can be found places in maps. Yet i am a normal person born in a small village with my grand achievements are traveling places.
>>284628575I’m glad you liked the card! While Tokyo may have banned gayness, it’s a Christmas miracle Godzilla restored balance to the progenitors of yaoi. I am still so shocked at how the hand turned out because I completely free handed that shit and prayed it turned out decent, and if not, it will at least have soul. Your card was the blueprint. Maybe I should check out the vs. movies, tournament arcs were always my favorite trope. But anyways Merry Christmas!>>284629703I also love seeing your cards in thread and receiving your cards. I feel like we have been matching one way or the other for the past few years hahah. Good to know you’re still loving sharks. Your picture of syaoran makes the drawing look much nicer and sharper than I remember drawing him. I will definitely watch SF soon. I’m glad you liked the cookies. I tried it before and instantly fell in love with it and had to share the joy! Merry Christmas!
