[The video feed pops on, showing two of the bubble's younger trolls, happily returned back to their home under the sea. Now though, at least one of them has a very serious expression on his face.]

So, after doing some research, we've discovered that it's customary to give gifts this time of

I find it impossibly adorable that all of the adult trolls are adopting all you younger ones. I knew you all had parental instincts.

Traditional gifts are usually something like a tie or a mug that says "#1 DAD" on it, but really, you should just get him something that you know he'll like. I'm sure you both know him far better than I do. Equius, maybe you could build him some kind of brilliant robot?

I already know what I'm getting the two of you for Christmas.

[Lily knows all about this stuff! She'll help them!]

What's a tie?

And Lily, you don't need to get us anything.

[She doe and she will!!!! Any time!]

Human formalwear. I don't suppose ties have any particular purpose other than looking good.

I know. But I am. I've been thinking about it for weeks. Christmastime is my absolute favorite time of year.

[Looking good, huh? He is just going to eye Equius for a moment and wonder what he would look like in a tie.

not.

that he knows what a tie is.

And then it is back to attention!]

This Christmas stuff is kinda all sounding like our Eve. Except you motherfuckers make this shit way more fun.

What are you blathering about now? You don't have a custodial troll guardian.

Hmmm. That depends on what makes your "father" happy. Give him something he really likes but doesn't always gets to have. What are his hobbies?

[Video]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Uh... he likes robots. And hanging out by himself in his workshop.

[Video]

[nos_servabit]

Perhaps tools he can use for his inventions? I'm sure they have some hardware stores around here.

[faygot]

He digs milk too.

[The very most helpful.]

Dads like drinking and women. So I guess you should get him alcohol and a girlfriend.

[faygot]

You sure, Caprisis?

[Hmm, where would you find a woman?]

[video]

[stayb100ponyboy]

He could definitely use someone in his flushed quadrants, that's for sure. But does it have to be a girl?

[What is human sexuality?]

[video]

[witchbuster]

Yes, I'm definitely sure, it's what my dad likes and--no it doesn't have to be a girl.

[...Then again--]

Actually, um...the flushed part might be a little complicated. There are no troll escorts here, huh?

Oh, that depends on what he likes! Usually fathers are very happy to receive something that was lovingly made for them. I remember helping my children make really special pies for Johnathan's birthday.

[stayb100ponyboy]

Pies, you say?

[faygot]

[Oh mama. No worries. He is getting you something too. Once he figures out what.]

This brother up and does a lot of baking already. Would it still like be a good gift? It's real important being.

Well, the important part of gift-giving is to give them something that means something special! I always say that homemade things are better gifts than things you trade for or find. The amount of work you put into a gift shows a lot more care for the person you're giving it to!

That being said... what would you two like for gifts?
