Hallmark Exes FAQ!

in light of part 2 being out soon, I’ll be making a little separate FAQ post about them for some backstory info and so i don’t have to keep answering the same questions lol—so send in any questions you have and I’ll answer them in the FAQ!

before getting into the questions, however, I want to clarify something.

Levi and Xavier are my characters. this is my story. while it was prompted by another post—and I encourage everyone who wants to to write their own versions of the prompt!!—it is not a collaborative project. I’ve had multiple separate issues with people wanting to write their own part 2s, and while I really do appreciate that the story resonated so much and inspired people enough to want to add to it, actually doing so and posting it is rude, disrespectful, and a shitty thing to do.

to be clear, I’m not mad at or trying to target any of these people. I know there were no malicious intentions behind it, but my feelings about it remain the same.

I’m not a published author. nobody knows Levi and Xavier are my characters. if someone were to stumble across the original piece and a part 2 someone added without my consent, they’d have no way to know that that’s not canon. any additional info that person decides to include in their writing muddies the waters when I inevitably contradict it, because Levi and Xavier’s story is so much more fleshed out in my head than what I’ve shared on tumblr.

so I guess please just keep that in mind. please don’t hijack my story. it feels weird that I have to say this in the first place, but here we are.

and if you’re about to say something like “but jester, it’s a compliment, it’s not that big of a deal! besides, it’s just a tumblr story, it’s not that serious!” I just want to say this: when a writer posts the first chapter of their book or fic on tumblr or ao3 or wattpad or wherever else, do you decide to take it upon yourself to write chapter 2 and post it as if that’s the continuation of the story? no, you wouldn’t, because that’s rude as fuck. this isn’t any different.

ANYWAY. thanks for reading, sorry for the serious post about my silly goofy gay story, don’t forget about any questions you may have :)

the “bad guys” in hallmark movies end up always being the most respectful men ever.

because they will find out their girlfriend of 3 years (that they were about to propose to) went off to a random farm in minnesota, hours away from were the two of them built a life together, and she decided to just… stay there without even consulting him.

and then he decides to take a trip to make sure she’s okay, because this is generally alarming behavior, and then sees that she literally fell in love with her ex within one (1) week- and he wasn’t there, but you can TELL that they’ve made out a couple times.

and then she just strings him along for a few days, until fucking christmas eve, when she just breaks up with him and is like “i know we used to have the same values, but i’ve never loved you. mark makes me happier than you ever did. and you ONLY care about work, whereas i like christmas and fun, like a Good Person.”

and then, after finding out his entire relationship was a lie and he had his life turned upside down in a week and he got dumped on christmas, this guy’s just like “ok yeah that makes sense. i only wish you the best of happiness with mark. i hope you guys build a great life together in christmastreefarmville. thank you for everything.”

An AU where two Hallmark Christmas Bad Guys are both getting flights back to New York after being dumped by their respective Smalltown Blonde Girlfriends, and they bond over their shared experiences and fall in love in the departures lounge

@teashoesandhair your wish is my command :)

Probably, Levi should be more upset.

Probably he is still in shock. Right? He looks out of his taxi window (it’s not technically a taxi, just some guy named Corey who offered him a ride to the airport, because Uber doesn’t operate in fucking Tinyville, Bumfuck Middle-Of-Nowhere, Utah) and tracks water droplets racing each other down the glass, because of course it’s raining, and his bad knee is killing him. 

Levi sniffs and rubs at his eyes and then pulls out his phone and books a ticket back to New York, wincing as four hundred and twenty-six dollars are deducted from his bank account. 

And, like, he should definitely be more upset.

He just got broken up with. He was engaged, for God’s sake. A four-year relationship… over. Just like that. 

Corey says, “Ten minutes to the station."

words really cannot describe how much i hate this shitty trend of reinvented gender essentialism but perhaps 12 pages of vent art can get close to it?

ohh i have so many, i love my tumblr users. thank you for the ask!

fav people: @dyl-z @queermoons @psychoticallykind @butterli5 @my-castles-crumbling @faeyells (& i love their blogs sm too 💖) kas @/queermoons is filling my need for a polish marauders obsessed queer (?) mutual <333 fae is a sweet soul who writes fics that i love, @/butterli5 also writes & is so so wholesome ily<33 dylan & cas are also fic writing royalty and tumblr celebrities and you should check them out (if you don’t know them already). cas writes microfics like they breathe them out, and every one is perfect; they also do anon advice asks💖 dylan is currently writing one of the longest and most popular marauders sm uni & fame AU mixed fic called “growing sideways” and when i tell you im feral, i really fucking am. and incredibly proud. like ahhb look at him😭💖 his account also features people repeatedly yelling at him for the fic’s events (dont worry, he likes it)

fav blogs that i personally haven’t spoken with: @crescenthistory @ellecdc @unconventional-lawnchair @until-the-house-shakes - y/n fic royalty, tumblr celebrities. they all create amazing, often very long fanfiction on tumblr (carina @/crescenthistory once wrote over 14k words fic. on a tumblr post. and every word was magic) & elle has fic collection so long you would think she must’ve started in xivth century lmao. she is one of the biggest marauders people here on tumblr. @/unconventional-lawnchair wrote my favourite barty x reader fluff, and to this day it’s one of my comfort fics <33 to mae @/until-the-house-shakes i got through her collaboration with elle in “Thawing Out”, an incredible wolfstar x reader ice‐skating AU, and ever since i cannot stop reading those. i’ve read (almost) all of those creators’ works. repeatedly. and will continue to do so

@honeycaksy @cannissmajor @spookeart @alexsays-no @meemoop - art royalty, celebrities on tumblr & other platforms, followed for art & stayed for both their art and personalities. @/honeycaksy is famous for her amazingly thought-out what-if-regulus-karma-was-him-having-a-child-who-looks-like-sirius AU featuring exploration of north african magic society. @/cannissmajor is best known i think for that one incredible realistic portrait of mary mcdonald and revealing later that he’s literally 15 (still cannot believe it. his works are fucking amazing). @/spookeart is wildly known for that one moonwater smoking fanarts, but all of their works do big numbers here, on ig & pinterest. the only person i support on patreon😊 alex is famous for his “y brillamos juntos” jegulus fanart, but - again - all his works are praised (rightfully so). he’s also making an indepentent comic project about navigating your identity, past, future and present, being a young mexican trans person & it’s consuming me daily, i once sent him a detailed description of its characters based on their zodiac signs lmao. would support him on patreon if i had enough money xxx @/meemoop is known for her cutest drarry comics & illustrations, & “the veiled boy” fanfiction which she writes and illustrates

@interstellar-jay - ao3 fic author that in my head is a celebrity (writing royalty) & the fact that they tag me in their posts sometimes feels surreal. again, got there for their writing, stayed for writing & personality both. their fic “how far will you go?” is a long jegulus one, canon divergent and stunningly written. i am so invested in those characters i cannot bring myself to finish the last chapter because what if angst? i cannot see them suffering more😭 it’s been months & im still on the edge

@outromoonyy @cosmicsmoony - they both write and marauderpost original content a lot & i obviously love it. honey @/cosmicsmoony is the person pushing me to try to write so if i ever post it, she should take credit xx

@moonyswarmsweaters @what-would-sappho-do @the1970sdeadgaywizard-regulus @regregregulusblack @equippedtolove - fav marauders blogs, chaos, comfort & angst guaranteed. they tumblr marvellously. reg @/regregregulusblack is my favourite rp account. reg @/the1970sdeadgaywizard-regulus is not an rp account & is also a part of a wild tumblr friendgroup. if you see any chaotic, multipart personal drama where you dont understand 1/3 of the words & it features one garden of runar account, that’s reg’s friends. i love the chaos but tbh i am not sure what i am a part of

@cosyfroggo @reallyrandombigirl @lettertovera - my favourite followers ily them so much<33 forever hunting argentinian remus fics with vera :p

@ghostcasket - the person behind The Hallmark Exes original story (where the story instead of the main clueless girls ™ focuses on two men who they left behind in the cities - Levi, one’s [now ex] boyfriend of 4 years and fiancé, and Xavier, who was a boyfriend of 5 years and supposed to become a fiancé on christmas day). best turn of a bland and overdone trope ive ever seen, cheering him on in writing them some more!

BTW, the belief that you have to leave where you are and go somewhere in order to connect with nature is part of the problem. You can literally connect with nature anywhere; yes, even in an urban environment. You have birds, bugs, plants, weather, seasons, etc. A lot of people need to stop thinking of nature as something out there and start recognizing that it’s something that’s already right here.

And with a nod, you watch as this circle of bright radiant flame just suddenly burns and travels beneath the canopy. It’s almost like this burning ember of an underlight. And as it immediately bursts up, you see flames begin to catch, and swell, and expand. This is going to be a raging forest fire very soon.ALT
