[what's sleep]

I have found this a baffling contradiction, honestly. Particularly coming from the perspective of the whole mythology being foreign to me, it seems a strange oversight.

Let's be real, no one in those movies communicates. That would be healthy and normal.

[doublethumbsup]

...No.

I'm not handling this one. This is on one of you people. I'm going back to bed.

This inconsistency has always bothered me, even as a child. Surely not all parents can be so inattentive as to not be certain where every gift came from. There ought to be theories, investigations. You could build a conceptual framework around it and have a basis for a new and unique setting.

so

Text | UN: HelplesslyWeak

[life_ethereal]

I think Professor Ratio has already said what I wanted to say: make it a holiday mystery! Give us Christmas mysteries, like how the parents never noticed the presents just showing up!

[doublethumbsup]

[Oh thank god, a translation--]

YEAH
i bet they blamed each other tho
and were like HAROLD WHY DID U GET MYCKENZEE A DOLL ITS PINK OUR HOUSE IS BEIGE
and hes like CAROL WHY DID U NAME OUR KID THAT ALSO I DIDNT GET HER THE DOLL U DID
and then she runs away with an amish baker or something idk

An ouroboros of logic, as the parents were once children, and would have known Santa existed, but then grew up 'losing' that believe, only to let their children believe in turn.

Could it be that perhaps they simply stop giving their own gifts, and take credit for Santa's? I've never given it a considerable amount of thought, since I have always known.

Please go to sleep.

Tell me. How does one acquire coal? Can you request it specifically? I'm not all that interested in causing trouble for others to receive some.

[doublethumbsup]

dude

u can just get it at like
a gas station
it comes in a big bag for bbq

[clonizo]

[Sorry Hermes, but voice is faster than this boy trying to type]

.... wait, why are people upset about getting coal?? It's way more useful than socks.

[doublethumbsup]

[It's okay, buddy, they contain multitudes of communication skills.]

Okay but. If you're like. A kid - you definitely do not want coal, you want a toy.

[blessed_bonds]

Hm... Good question. I know in some movies they have the explanation that people are forced to forget Santa is real when they grow up, so maybe the same Christmas magic makes it so they don't question the mystery presents?

[doublethumbsup]

hey god llama!

ok FINALLY
that actually makes SENSE omg
XMAS MAGIC
ur the first person to make a good point wow

[guardianreaper]

nah

i always figured they were glad for free shit

like, i wake up and there’s a twelve-pack there i didn’t buy? hell yeah free beer

[doublethumbsup]

does


does that happen like
a lot ?

text; un: belleoftheboulevard

[greatlydares]

I always thought they had some kind of filter over their perception that made them see certain things in a different way from their kids. Maybe little Timmy sees coal but his dad sees a watch?

I also figure that the presents under the tree are a mix of like, presents actually from the parents and presents from Santa. And I'm going to guess that a parent of a small child excited for Christmas Day is, uh
not operating at full capacity memory-wise. Did they buy that present? They can barely remember what they had for dinner last night.

[doublethumbsup]

ok yah maybe...
but then whys the kid crying because he got a watch... does like
does dad know or does he just think timmys being a brat

lmao ok u got me there dude
i like ur version better than the bickering one lol

[dancedwithplenty]

if there's anything I've learned from my time in kaisou, people are veeeery good at explaining away what they don't fully get. double if magic is involved

Prob the parents would assume they bought the gifts and forgot?

idk how often do the kids in those movies actually get coal tho

[doublethumbsup]

i dont get that i guess
ive been here like a year now and its still kinda weird

i like that idea
whoops we forgot oh well happy xmas kiddo

noooooooooooot
that often

Text; un: devilchild

[myriadeclipse]

Excuse my terse phrasing. It's a long night.

Do you know how human culture has a perception about certain things that don't end up true?

They can't see him, but it might also be because That Saint doesn't always operate the way they think.

[doublethumbsup]

it is?
do u not sleep anymore either?

i meaaaaan kinda???
i probably should

what to you mean?
hes not like
visible to them or?
