[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.

...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.

Shouldn't you be asleep?

[He's going to bed in an hour just to wake up at the normal time of 6am, Jing Yuan.]

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!
heng_like_a_dragon: ([PT] Where do you think you're goin'?)

[personal profile] heng_like_a_dragon 2025-12-04 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
If that was the case, you'd be right next to me trying to be cute and pitiful enough to coax me to bed.

[Get called out, dummy.]

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.

[You know what, he's going to make this private. Not because he might get a little flirty, but it's because Dan Heng's uncertain if there's an underlying reason Jing Yuan doesn't want to get into right now.]

Come over here and make me. I'm in the office.

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.

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

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?
