December is gonna be all about comfort. hot cocoa, good food, cosy blankets. stretching your wings and shaking off the pressure of being restrained. forgiveness on things that will throw the shutters open to the light, and drawing boundaries on things that make you feel sick and sad in your core. warm dogs and familiar movies and good socks. old books and old friends.
December can be long and dark, December can feel grey and dead, but there is still light here, there is still life here. December is for laying to rest the troubles on your heart, for accepting your flaws and your failures with the comfort of trying again and starting over instead of giving up, for holding close and celebrating your strengths and your victories and your perseverance: you made it.
some people say that December is for looking behind, for self-examination and introspection, and maybe that’s true, but really I think the comfort in December is about acknowledging that every good and bad thing that has happened is behind you, and for choosing what to bring forward with you as you face the new year. light your candle as you turn to the future. choose comfort. choose daring. choose courage and kindness. choose laughter. choose hope.
choose these things not because it is naive or childish, and not because it is easy, and not because it is hard. choose these things because they are, and because they are possible, and because some days it won’t seem like it. choose these things because sometimes you will be scared and you will be angry and you will be hurt, and you will need these things. choose these things because some days it will seem like these things are gone, and you will have to work to find them again, but they are there. bring them with you whenever you can. load up your pockets with them like lucky coins. tuck them away like bookmarks, band-aids, spare kleenex. fill the nooks and crannies of your life.
December is for comfort. wrap yourself up in the warmth of stepping forward. choose hope. choose love. they’re there. they’re possible. reach for them.
it either instantly aggros all allies or i get a returning chorus of “HEWWO??? AWE YOU THEWE?” from all cursed friends who are immune to the aggro effects of hewwo
either way it gets everyone’s attention immediately
“Hewwo?” Cantrip. Instant. Verbal component. Duration one minute, no concentration. Upon casting, everyone in hearing range rolls a will save. On a failed save they immediately become hostile to the caster. Anyone else with this cantrip does not need to make the save and can also cast Hewwo as a free action on everyone previously affected. Instead of repeating the will save, each person affected by the original Hewwo immediately gets advantage on melee attacks and strength checks, and disadvantage on concentration, ranged attacks, charisma checks, and dexterity checks for the duration.
