In a day filled with stress and anxiety, a calm night was all James could count on. All day he'd be laughing and chatting and joking, but at night, he could finally take a chance to breathe. At night he could sit in silence and stare at the stars and the moon undisturbed. He could tune the radio to the station he used to love, not the one his best friend picked. But most importantly, James liked the night because it brought him closer to the only love he'd ever known. Sure, James was married and had a wonderful kid, but nothing would ever quite feel like this particular love hiding in the stars. Even though he was so grateful for his wife and son, he could not shake this particular love from his head. This love had been so engulfing he was often overwhlemed from how many feelings he had developed. This love had been so strong it made his heart ache. He had known this love for almost his whole life, yet only took advantage of it for a few years. James would have given anything just to hear his love call his name one more time. Given anything just to hear his soft voice. Anything just to hear him whisper, "Good morning, mon amour." James had loved this boy with all of his being, and now all he had left of their time together was the comforting vision of the night sky. Because up there lay his star. His beautiful star.

OFFICIAL SIGNUP POST: Thneedmas Exchange 2023!

Read fully before liking/reblogging!

This event is being run by @miru667

AS A HEADS UP, WE’RE LOOKING FOR MAKEUP GIFT VOLUNTEERS THIS YEAR!

Makeup gift volunteers fill in when a participant is unable to get a gift from their assigned partner; these things happen sometimes! If you’d like to volunteer for this role, please message @miru667. Thanks again!

This blog itself is meant to organize the lorax fandom’s various “Secret Santa” styled events, and to share the works created by our participants once each exchange has ended. Participants do not have to follow, but if you’d like to keep tabs, feel free to follow our tag: #unitetheloraxfandom

Here are the rules!

1) To sign up you must LIKE AND REBLOG the official post for the current exchange. That would be this one! We will try to message people once they’ve been added to the participants list, so look out for that!

2) We will be contacting you via Tumblr Direct Messaging to send you the name of your buddy. But if it is unavailable we will be sending it to your askbox. Make sure you have your askbox open please! You don’t need to have anon on. If we can’t contact you, you will be taken OFF of the list without warning.

3) If you change your URL after signing up, you MUST tell us.

4) Signup starts TODAY (December 1st) and will be CLOSED on December 7th 23:59 PST.

5) After the 7th of December, you will be messaged the name of your secret buddy. They must be unaware that you are their Thneedmas Exchange partner until after the period of posting (December 23rd - January 5th) or longer depending on issues with post limit.

6) If you sign up after the cutoff date, your url will be put on a waiting list for the next exchange. There will be no room for late sign ups.

7) Gifts can be fanart, fanfiction, fan video, etc. If you have any other ideas for your gift, feel free to get creative. Also, please try to keep them related to The Lorax unless you know your buddy would appreciate something non-Lorax related more.

8) If you have had drama in the past with another tumblr user then please let us know ahead of time so we can make certain that neither of you are assigned to each other.

9) Buddies will be assigned by the mods, and you will be buddied up randomly. If you don’t receive a buddy after the sign-up period is over, then MESSAGE US IMMEDIATELY! DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE THE EXCHANGE OR THE LAST DAY OF THE EXCHANGE OR 2 DAYS AFTER THE EXCHANGE.

10) If you have not received your gift in time, you MAY make a request for a makeup one created by one of the mods or makeup gift volunteers; this offer is only valid if you’ve come through with your own partner’s gift, it’s only fair.

Thank you for reading!
