[ On Julian's doorstep today is a shoebox containing a pair of nice quality brown leather loafers. There is a small Blue Beetle insignia doodled in pen on the bottom corner of the lid of the box. ]
[ Throughout the day, starting at 8am and continuing until 5pm, a courier will arrive on the hour, every hour, to hand-deliver Julian a tacky Christmas card that sings when you open it. ]
[ Around dinner time, a delivery boy from a nearby restaurant arrives at Julian's apartment bearing an order of freshly baked noodle rings and a note reading "I've never actually heard of a noodle ring, but this place specializes them, apparently. - Beetle". ]
[ Sitting on Julian's kitchen counter when he arrives home is a gingerbread house recreation of his apartment, right down down to little sugar calendars on the walls. ]
[ Mid-afternoon on the 14th, Julian receives a photo text of a capuchin monkey in a santa hat that does not have a watermark on it because Ted isn't as lazy a piece of shit as I am. ]
His name is Gregory.
[ When Julian arrives home at the end of the day, that same monkey is inside his apartment. ]
[ look, in between his New Years Resolution & Daryl's post, the Doctor's got a PRETTY GOOD IDEA as to who's been passing out the New Years Resolutions.
so he's giving Calendar Man one of his very own. c: equally anonymous and equally "hey I straight up broke into your house and left this in your bedroom" ]
(Belated) New Years Resolutions - Find a way to continue celebrating the holidays without being predictable. People practically expect you to ruin things now. - Running for office was a good idea. Consider doing something like that again: it's easy to make your mark without property damage. - There is nothing wrong with second chances. - Remember the civilians. You might like terrifying Disney World illusions but do they? - Tone it down on the creepy. - A good way to get someone to pay attention to you is to make them jealous. Find a new superhero. Maybe that way Batman will listen. - 2017 will be a good year to travel. If someone offers you the opportunity, take it. - Accept the fact that people like you for who you are.
