Warm Hugs - Tumblr Posts
On the fifth day of drawings, my true love gave to me…
Zach Frost!
Thank you very much to @jokerislandgirl32 for suggesting my favourite Christmas crush, Jack Frost from The Santa Clause 3! I loved your idea to draw the warm hug scene with them! Zach’s frosty attitude towards the holidays can almost always be melted by Alessandra’s kindness and warm heart!
I really loved drawing this one! Martin Short’s Jack Frost is one of my favourite characters! I also loved having a chance to draw Alessandra in a little sexy Santa dress! Thought it definitely suited the Santa Clause theme! Again, thank you so so much for this prompt suggestion! If any of you have any Christmas prompt suggestions for my 12 drawings of Christmas make sure to comment them on this post!

Another average game.... sigh.
He’s been at it since, like,,, 1 PM. It’s already 8 PM.
God... this is awful. I can’t just spend my days like this instead of actually dealing with my emotions.
It’s what he tells himself every time, yet he can’t seem to act on it and actually get better.
He definitely needs some help.
It’s hard when you’re dealing with constant anxiety, you know. Because you’re afraid of failure, you’re afraid of disappointing people, you’re afraid you’re not working hard enough, that you’re not giving you’re all every single day.... and it paralyzes you.
You literally cannot do anything anymore because you’re too afraid. You’re frightened by the unstable and unpredictable future.
And it’s oh so exhausting.
The worst thing isn’t even the anxiety itself; it’s when you’re completely aware of it, yet you can’t seem to help yourself. You can’t seem to be able to pick yourself up and get it together. You just can’t because you’re already talking down on yourself so much every single day since you’re not able to function properly, that you manage to convince yourself that you don’t even deserve help. You don’t deserve to heal, you don’t deserve a redemption arc. And it sucks, to say the least.
When he finds himself too lost in his thoughts and rummaging too much in his own misery; he just needs distraction. He needs it to stay afloat, to give himself a semblance of mental care.
He found a bit of comfort in video games. Online, he is praised for his concentration, his tactic decisions and his sharp reflexes. It’s an instant rewarding activity : when you win, you are respected and looked up to. People always wanna play with you and there is no unnecessary long preparation to get better. It’s no secret : play more, win more.
At the beginning it was somewhat healthy : he only played a few hours on weekends so he could work on all the college shit he needed to do during the week and not interfere with his studies.
But, as time passed by, with college getting more complicated and exams coming up,,,, he couldn’t endure the pressure. All he did was play everyday, all day long. Even during the night.
Yes, it sounds very stupid, but when games are a way of escaping reality and relieving the constant pain in your head as much as the constant pull on your chest caused by all this pressure he felt,,,, it was a lot more than needed.
He could ask for help from friends or family or maybe some classmates. But he knew how judgemental people could be, and how tense and optuse they were when it came to dealing with mental health issues. He would just get remarks saying that he was being lazy or some other bullshit like that ; and he really didn’t wanna deal with none of this.
So he doesn’t talk to anyone about this.... except with you.
You’re the only person he always confides to and seeks support from. Your simple presence soothes his heart and calms his overwhelming thoughts.
Now,,, don’t get it twisted : you two were not a couple.
You met on campus.
He already noticed you walking around, and he did found you beautiful, but he never said anything to you and kept his distance, just admiring from afar. Nothing big.
One day, while he was visibly struggling over some dumb assignment that was due the day after, he did not notice when you sat next to him to study because the college library was packed and the only available chair was the one he used for his bag. He also did not notice when you looked over what he was doing and the way your eyes lit up when you realized you two were studying the same subject; meaning you were in the same course. He only became aware of your presence when you tapped on his shoulder and proposed to finish the assignment together.
Eventually, you grew closer and closer to each other. Ever since then, you’ve both always tried your best to help each other and stay by your side.
(He will never openly admit the crush he has on you though.)
You were truly and sincerely a really good friend, and it’s not the crush talking.
You were genuinely a great person : always offering a hand to help, always offering an ear to listen, and always offering advices to get through the hard times, only when he asked. You never judged him. You would never give unrequired mean comments and passive aggressive ‘motivational speeches’ or whatever the fuck his parents called the awful messages they were sending him.
He definitely needed a shoulder to cry on.
It was a bit complicated because... he never asked for this much before. He never asked for more than just some quick help, but you would provide him with way more than what he expected, every single time. He couldn’t deny your support, even if he wanted to.
So he pressed your contact name and sent you a message, asking to come to his place to help him get back to work.
Wait what time is it— 09:24 PM already ?!
Before he could tell you to forget it and come back another day, you already answered〈I’m on my way ☺️〉
Guess he just has to buy you pizza now.
______________________________________________
10 minutes or so later, you knocked on his door.
He just finished tidying up his room a little bit, to occupy himself before facing you. He musters up all the courage he has, and comes to the door.
Usually, he’s never nervous to see you and stuff, but this time,,, it was different.
His hands starts to sweat and he begin struggling to breathe.
inhale.......
exhale.......
After calming the pounding heart in his chest as much as he can, he finally lets you in.
You’re too taken aback by his obviously tired posture to notice the slight blush tainting his cheeks as he greets you.
“hi [y/n], thank you so much for coming. I needed you.”
Even though he tried his best to conceal it, the exhaustion he felt was dripping from his voice. And the rawness of it betrayed him by showing that it must be his first time speaking out loud to someone in a while.
He started to feel self conscious of his miserable state.
But, his concerns faded away as soon as you spoke up to him.
“hi jeon. don’t worry about it : I’ll always be there to help you.”
His heart skipped a beat.
As you took off your shoes, there was a huge silence between you two. While you’ve been passed the stage where silences are awkward, it still feels heavy.
When you were done getting rid of all your layers, you broke it.
“ok, you know that I know that you don’t really need me for some homework stuff. What’s going on jeon.... please, tell me everything that’s on your heart. I’ll try to help you deal with it.”
You took his arm and tried to bring him to sit on his couch, but he stayed stiff. When you looked back at him, he was looking at his feet and playing with his fingers. It caught you a bit off guard.
“uuh...... can we please go to my room instead..? I’ll feel, um, more comfortable.”
it was not the first time you went to his room so why was he acting funny right now ? You really started to think that something very bad happened, seeing how fidgety and unsettled he was.
When in the room, both of you sat onto his bed, and you patiently waited for him to tell you what was actually going on.
He took a deep breathe, and started to talk while looking at his hands and playing with them.
“I’ve been stuck in such a bad place lately. I can’t do anything. All I do is sleep all day and play. I’m not even good at it too, like my level is getting worse than ever everyday. And don’t get me started on my fucked up sleeping schedule. I’m a mess.” he chuckles, a humorless laugh leaving his lips.
He was still clearly uncomfortable, his voice not louder than a brittle, as if he was just talking to himself.
You nodded, signaling that you were listening. Even though he wasn’t directly looking at you, he got the message, and kept going.
“I... I struggle so much with concentration. I can’t focus on shit for more than 5 minutes. It’s driving me insane. Can you imagine not being able to concentrate on something else that video game or scrolling on social media for more than 5 mf minutes ?! Gosh, I feel so lazy and useless.” he said, rubbing his eyes furiously.
He was clearly getting heated, and usually you would’ve immediately jump in to tell him that he was wrong, that he was such an intelligent, very creative and overall wonderful human being.
But you understood that he only needed an open ear to listen to him for now, as he confides all his bottled up feelings.
So you stayed silent.
He continued.
“And, I know it’s not my fault, right ? like,,, it’s just a rough time, I’m just supposed to tell myself that I’ll be ok, that it’s all gonna be ok, and I’m supposed to magically feel better and keep it pushing. It’s how it must be, right ? ....but I feel like it completely is my fault. I feel like I’m giving up on myself, that I’m not taking the responsibility to care for me. [y/n]... I don’t want to push anymore. I don’t want to do anything anymore— I don’t have the energy to. I- I cannot stand the constant pain in my chest and... I cannot stand the chills that run down my spine when I realize a deadline is getting closer and closer while I still didn’t start an assignment, because I don’t have any motivation to do so. I cannot stand the everlasting fear of failure that lingers in my mind and keeps me from touching a textbook during weeks— because working frightens me. I’m- I’m... broken. I am literally broken.” As he unfolded more and more, his rambling became jerky and messy.
You could feel the pain in the way his voice cracks and the way sobs were falling out of his mouth.
“I’m so anxious about the future and about how I completely lost control of my life, that I can’t even sleep. I don’t eat much either. I’ve given up on life. I feel empty, worthless and tired. So tired. [y/n]... I’m tired of living.” he said, the last sentence almost too quiet to be heard.
Soon enough, he was crying. It was very hard for him right now. Still he tried to repress it, as he promised himself not to breakdown in front of you. But it was useless.
Way to go ! Now you look even more of a mess than you already are.
You reached out, and took one of his hands in yours while softly wiping his cheeks with your other hand. With the softest voice you could manage, you encouraged him to let go as much as possible.
“.... let it out. Let it all out. Cry as much and as loud as you want to. Please Jeon allow it to yourself.” you told him with a small smile.
And he did just that. He cried, and cried, and cried. And you stayed, patiently rubbing his hands and his cheeks.
Seeing him like this was breaking your heart so much, you felt your own tears coming up. You wanted to be there for him and protect him as much as you possibly could. You would never give up on him.
After a little while, he calmed down. You felt relieved because he seemed to feel a bit better as he has finally been able to open up and get rid of all these thoughts clogging his mind.
He felt the same, noticing how such a big weight has finally been lifted off his shoulders.
But still, he felt uneasy about what he was about to ask.
He started to fidget with his fingers again, and realizing that’s the body language he has when he feels nervous about what he’s about to do or say, you tried your best to ease him.
“Do you have something else you wanna talk about ? You know you can tell me anything. You know I’ll always be there for you.”
You kind of regretted the way the last sentence sounded a bit much but oh well, honesty has never killed anyone. Your feelings were genuine and you wanted to make sure that he knows there is someone there for him.
It visibly helped him loosen up a bit. So, he musters up all the courage left in his body, and he decides to request this one thing he’s been needing the most : “well hum... can you give me a hug please..?”
You almost immediately answered of course, and started leaning into him— but... it wasn’t exactly what he wanted.
“wait! no- not like this.”
You leaned back in your place and couldn’t help your eyebrows frowning, your confusion showing very hard on your face. You guys would hug sometimes so you didn’t quite understand his reaction.
why was he acting suspicious about it now ?
He saw the frown on your face, and it stressed him out even more. The last thing he would ever do is to make you mad or uncomfortable.
“ok, it’s not that I do not want to hug you, but can we do a different hug..? Like uuh... you hug me but like,,,, you cradling me on my, um, gaming chair.”
He wanted to tell you that basically he would liked to just... be spooned. But it was hard enough to get this request out of his chest, and he didn’t wanna startle you even more.
He didn’t see your reaction because he was looking at his hands instead of you, but sensing how you didn’t say anything, he looked up to you.
You were silent — fairly surprised — still processing what he just asked you.
But he, on the other hand, couldn’t really read your face ; and he started to panic because he got really scared that he ruined your relationship.
Like,, he knew you were asexual because you talked to him about it several times and it was no secret for the both of you ; but you didn’t really know about him being ace too.
You didn’t know that you sharing the ups and down of your journey on finding out about your asexuality to him made him realize that he felt the same thing and that he may be ace too.
You didn’t know how comforting it was for him to hang out with you, because he didn’t have to not be himself in front of you and that you would never have triggering discussions about subjects that were not interesting the both of you.
He never really talked to you about it, not because he wanted to hide this from you ; but because he was still finding out about himself more and more everyday, at his own pace. Even though he was practically sure by now.
So he felt like he kind of betrayed your trust in him, and that he betrayed himself too because,,, what if you think that he wanted to force you into a sexual setting when he obviously knows it will clearly make you uncomfortable ?
And other than that... even though he had a crush on you and he would definitely enjoy being linked to you in a romantic way.... you two were really good friends and he cherished the connection you already had with each other so much. You meant a lot to him. He would not handle losing this. Losing you.
What if you reject him ?
Just thinking about it made him feel incredibly dizzy.
His mind was spiraling so much that he didn’t even notice he started shaking because of all the overthinking ; until you grabbed one of his hands with both of yours and rubbed your thumb slowly on his skin.
The truth is you were silent because it startled you a bit. It’s not everyday that the guy friend that you have a soft spot for asks you to cuddle with him in his room.
And if you were being honest...
You lowkey (highkey) needed some sort of comfort yourself.
College life is very exhausting and draining, both physically and mentally. Showering Jungkook with all that support and help, and seeing that it was effectively making him feel better, was giving you the courage to try actively apply your own advices to deal with your own mental health issues.
Helping him was so beneficial to you both, you would never pass an occasion to do it. Plus, you’re hardly ever seeing anyone these days and you trusted him. So... a hug will not hurt anyone.
You answered.
“Don’t worry, it’s completely ok for me Jeon. And please, don’t feel ashamed to ask for help, especially from me. You know I’ll always do it, if it means I can ease you, even just the slightest. ”
After you reassured him, he released a breathe he didn’t even know he was holding. He was so sensitive and vulnerable... His state was really alarming. He did great giving in to his heart and calling you.
He smiled and gave you a small thank you so much.
Seeing how visibly shy he was about all this, you didn’t wanna make it harder than it was for him.
So you got up and took him with you. He followed you from behind like a lost puppy. He was so visibly vulnerable... it broke your heart and seeing his state, you knew you did great giving in to your heart and accepting to come right away.
Then, he sat down on the chair.
And, you got on top of him.
As soon as you settled, he embraced you and held you tight, close to him.
You felt how tense he was and how fast his heart was beating in his chest.
When you hugged his waist in return, he started to loosen up and relax. He even let out a content sigh he didn’t even know he was holding back.
A silence installed between the both of you. A comfortable one.
He started rubbing your back and slowly rocking you side to side.
You stayed like this, just bathing in each other’s presence. You wanted to remain like this with him for as long as you possibly could.
You breathing softly in the crook of his neck, with his heartbeat and the rhythm of his chest rising and falling soothing you.
Him caressing your back and occasionally rubbing circles with his thumb onto you.
It was such a nice feeling....
All of a sudden, your stomach lets out an incredibly loud growling noise. It just had to be right now.
Jungkook started laughing and you swear his laugh is like angels singing to your ear.
He knew he was laughing way too hard for what it really was, but it’s been so much time since he has been genuinely laughing. Genuinely enjoying the moment. Genuinely living life.
“Ah.. I guess it’s the time when I order pizza for you, right ?”
He said smiling. You smiled back a bit embarrassed, and he thought you couldn’t be cuter.
While not letting go of you, he took his phone with one of his hand and ordered the food. When he was done, he went back to embracing you, this time occasionally playing with your braids too.
After a little while, he confessed.
“You make me smile, even when I don’t want to.”
It was obvious he was looking at you, but you didn’t have it in you to look back at him in the eyes. It would be too much for your little heart.
You didn’t answer, you knew you didn’t have to. He knows you feel the same.
You both feel like it is enough just like this : just some soft, comfy, intimate hugs and vibes.
Cool display of friendship,,, between two friends.
Without being ironic, it was actually a very nice moment he was sharing with you. This will always be special to him, and from now on he’ll make sure he spends more meaningful time with you.
He was so happy that he mastered the courage to call you. He absolutely needed this.
Later on, the food arrived, so you parted during the time he went and paid for it. You ate the pizza on the couch, while watching a few episodes of some light hearted anime you were both interested in.
At some point, he looked at the time and— 01:37 AM
shit! I made her stay so late...
“Well it’s ass o’clock right now and I absolutely cannot let you go home, so! you might as well stay. You will sleep in my room and I’ll be on the couch don’t worry! I’ll go give you some shorts and one of my large t-shirt so you can go change and, uh, yeah.”
He was so much more joyful and his eyes glowed with sparkles, compared to just a few hours ago. You were really happy for him.
“Thank you Jeon it’s so nice of you really. Do you feel better now ?”
He replied right on the spot I do! with the biggest smile on his face. Even his adorable dimples were showing.
The butterflies in your stomach were partying right now.
______________________________________________
After giving each other one last goodnight hug you both went to bed. While lied down on the couch, he looked back on the night he just spent and.... He realized how lucky he was to have you by his side. His heart warms thinking about you.
How sweet and understanding you were, despite him being so emotionally exhausted. How nice it felt to have you close to him, and to enjoy the comfort of your embrace.
Ah.... He feels so happy and content right now. He almost cries, and this time, his eyes are full of tears of pure joy.
He manages to settle his fast-beating heart, and eventually falls asleep. Needless to say this night was the first time he’s had a good rest in a while.

Character Meet and Greets
Character meet and greets are one of the best things at Disney World! I love the interaction and getting to rub elbows with some of my favorite characters from the movies I absolutely adore so let’s chat about that next. This has some pretty great news and some news that some of you may not like depending on how much you love these people.
Good news first! There will be two new character greeting experiences debuting this spring at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where you step into the scenes with some of your most beloved Disney characters, as they live out their Hollywood dreams. Premiering in spring 2016 in the Echo Lake district at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the all-new Celebrity Spotlight, the perfect place for a dream encounter with one of Disney’s latest stars. Get ready WDW fans, because the warm hug loving snowman Olaf, from Disney’s hit film “Frozen.” Is finally coming to Disney World! Olaf will be living out his dream “In Summer,” chilling on the beach and ready with warm hugs for all his friends!
Opening this spring as well, is “Mickey and Minnie Starring in Red Carpet Dreams,” located just off Commissary Lane near the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant. Here you can join Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, as they’re living the dream as A-list Hollywood stars. You’ll walk the red carpet, step into a scene with Minnie, where she appears as a Tinsel Town starlet in a ritzy setting straight out of a lush and colorful musical extravaganza. Nearby, you will find Mickey portraying his iconic role of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice from “Fantasia.” For Disney character fans, this spring at Disney’s Hollywood Studios promises to be a dream come true!
Now for the not so great news as some of you may or may not have known, Lady Tremaine (you know the evil stepmom from Cinderella?) well she and her daughters have always met in the Magic Kingdom at the new Fantasyland wall or at the side of Cinderella castle. It saddens me to say that Lady Tremaine will no longer be meeting guest in the Magic Kingdom, but I’m almost positive that the step sisters will continue to meet at both locations. However if you are an evil ne'er do-well loving individual and want to meet her along with her daughters then you can do so by booking a reservation at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian!! As an added bonus if you go to see here at 1900 you’ll also get to meet Cinderella and the ever so handsome Prince Charming *swoon*, plus they have delicious food!
