Advent Calendar babble, also Gravity Falls! <3

This Yuri on Ice Advent Calendar is quickly turning into a Otayuri Advent Calendar and honestly I'm okay with that. But not just Otayuri; this is some of the shmoopiest, most romantic crap I've drawn in a long time. Imma have to draw some porn just to balance it out tbh. And I already know exactly what I'm going draw ohohoho

I'm a little confused about advent calendars though; is Christmas Day the day 1 on them? Because every advent calendar thing I've seen is 25 days long. If they start on December 1st (and all of them that I've seen do) then naturally, Christmas Day would be included. But I always thought that since it was a countdown, Christmas Day would be zero, not one? Clearly, I've never done advent calendars of any kind before, lmao. But since Christmas Day is going to be part of it, on that day I'll have multiple pieces drawn for multiple fandoms. If I can manage to draw/write that much, haha. It's a lot!

I've finished season 2, episode 13 of Gravity Falls and I have some thoughts about it and also shipping Okay so I'm going into this almost completely blind (all I really knew was that it's about twins and there's a triangle guy) so the big reveal of Grunkle Stan having a twin brother was actually pretty surprising, haha! Also I love some of the tongue in cheek comments and almost but not quite breaking the fourth wall, it's so great. I want to go live in Gravity Falls. ;3;

ALSO NICK OFFERMAN VOICES AGENT POWERS AND THAT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD??? As soon as I heard his voice I was like "WAIT A MINUTE" aahhh what a good voice to hear in this awesome little cartoon. ♥

So I totally get why people want more of Bill Cipher, he's pretty entertaining, but I'm still pretty surprised that Billdip is such a popular ship. Although I guess I shouldn't be since uh fandom will find a way for shipping to happen. I mean I've read fics and I've enjoyed them but. What a weird ship! This fandom is also really likes callout posts and is rife with antis (even if you age Dipper up, which almost every single fic I've come across does) so I'm kinda glad I'm not feeling strongly about creating work for it.

GRANTED we'll see how the second half of season two goes, it might change my mind about everything.

I have an advent calendar collection--over 50! Most of them go from 1 to 24, with a few including 25. But I've never seen one going the other way and counting down to 1. One of them starts on the 6th, instead of the 1st, because that's St. Nicholas day. I am looking forward to your Yuuri on Ice advent countdown!
