There are two more parts to your gift, but in the interest of giving you a chance to guess I'll hold onto them for a second and start with...

I had a lot of fun putting this together, even though I had to stare at the google images results for "furby face." (How do their mouths even work? Are mortals meant to know??)

Happy Ratmas to the world's best :goat:!

bingbingbing! <333 (hopping in to confirm the guess myself bc I'm away from home rn and I'll be on the road most of tomorrow so I want to go ahead and post the rest while I can!)

(I phrased the furby commentary specifically to try to throw you off my trail c': I really do think they're delightful but I also really did spend way more time trying to figure out furby beaks than I expected when I started drafting askdndfkh--anyway!)

Goat! I was thrilled to get to gift you something this year! getting to call you a friend has been a highlight of 2019--you're thoughtful and funny and genuine, seeing you on tc is always a good time, I love getting your opinions about movies or furbies or whatever it is you have to say on anything at any given moment (including movies I've never seen or possibly even heard of, like, sign me up for the Goat Review tbh), your characters are incredibly emotionally real and have fantastic and complex relationships with the people around them, you have a depth of heart that I thoroughly admire. you are absolutely the world's best goat, and as we round the bend to 2020 I hope we're headed into a year that's good to you. you deserve it. <3

as promised, the other two parts of your gift:

for Delaney, who was a joy and did her team and her District proud:

Delaney's words are pebbles, meant to sting. Though he was sure she would not see, he flashed a grin in her direction. What had he ever done without her, without Ridley? If only he could return with them to Eleven. [Milo, in Lying in the Cold, I Feel Right at Home]
Was she willing to sacrifice [her life] for yours truly? That’s what you didn’t know, and you wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t want too. After all, you knew she was destined for great things. [Charisma, in the trouble with wanting]
"Nobody can beat you." She echoed, smiling even though she felt as if she was choking. Then, because she had to say it out loud at least once, "You're the strongest person I know." [Ridley, in sound like the truth]
and of course Delaney herself, also in "sound like the truth": "Bell thought she beat me. Isn’t that funny? Nobody can beat me. I’m still here."

and last but in my heart impossibly far from least, flowers for my forever girl:

(my heart is soft about Damaris always. u know this but I will continue saying it for as long as it's true, which will be: always.)

💞.
