[Playlist & Notes] The Doctor Alfred F. Jones Christmas Special
The fanmix for this fic which is mostly composed of punk covers of Christmas songs and instrumentals that you don't have to listen to, but it does have the songs Arthur supposedly "sings" (but not really because I could only find American band covers of these songs..... ;o;)

Extended Notes which you may or may not want to read after reading the fic:
Omgggggg I am so paranoid about posting this because I FEEL SO INADEQUATE AND SORRY THAT I STARTED THIS TOO LATE SO NOW I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO EDIT AND DRAW BETTER PICS AND IT IS SO CRAP!!! I-I'll try to fix it up later... for now, it's at least on time and before Christmas?? Quantity makes up for quality? (I totally didn't mean for it to get this long....) :D
ANYWAY if you were curious as to what Arthur actually sang first and second years... well there are only two more Christmas songs on that tracklist so... yes, first year was "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and second year is that bitter bitter cover of "Last Christmas" lol. And yeah again that's not really how Arthur sings because it's the wrong accent and all that (also the only punk cover of "Winter Wonderland" I could find was the Phantom Planet one which I don't even think is punk but... beggars can't be choosers? I couldn't find another one...)
I tried to cover all three prompts since they were fairly easy to mash together, but I'm not sure if this counts as covering them all... (and because I'm insecure about drawing and about writing, I did both in the hopes that you'll like one or the other or that at least enough is done so you won't feel totally gyped by lack of quality...)
And also, for Alfred's drawing style... there's his doodles and then there's his more serious drawing style which is supposed to be extremely accurate (whether or not you can tell with my drawings) - and this is because 90% of all engineer/architect/maths dudes I know have EXTREMELY accurate drawing skills because I dunno, I think they have to practice drawing straight lines and are just really good at copying things or something... so...since in this fic, Alfred draws a lot of blueprints and that sort of thing, I figured he'd be good at drawing accurately too.
AND as for how difficult to read Alfred's handwriting is - sorry, I hope it's still decipherable. I just keep imagining him with the type of messy handwriting doctors have (hahaha get it? Doctor? /slapped)
All the references in this fic I think are fairly basic or at least what you need to know should have been explained by "Alfred's notes"? At least, they're all things I know off the top of my head and I'm really not even a huge scifi fan so I figured if I know it, then probably most people know it? If there is anything you don't know, feel free to ask (or you can probably just google it too).
Anyway, thanks so so much for the prompts, the_evil_pastry! Thanks so much to the mods of usxuk for organizing the whole secret santa! Thanks so much to everyone who read the fic (if anyone actually did finish reading it) and thanks to all my usxuk friends who have put up with my rambling and bad fanstuff spams the last ...not even a year I've been in this fandom!! ♥♥
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
