An Avatar Christmas – page 18
I keep saying this, but I really want to actually make those Far Out There ornaments one day, even if it’s just a single set for myself. And yes, I once again found an excuse to sneak in a picture of the actual family Christmas tree.
And speaking of traditions, YET ANOTHER PATREON BLOG!
Ichabod’s been turned into a shrunken head by Tax! Horrifying confirmation of her strange powers!
I know I must scream, but am uncertain if it’s supposed to be in celebration of the confirmation of her powers, or horror at the horrific nature of them.
…
…what do you mean personalised that’s “just a personalised Xmas Bauble, and not actually Ichabod’s head”?
How weird would it be if that actually WAS Ichabod’s real head, and the body walking around was a puppet he was controlling with his mind?
That would be the safe, wise course of action, given the dangers his body is frequently exposed to. In the distant future, that will probably be pretty common, people who are “Remotes” with their brain in a much safer location
If Ichabod is interested, I think Layla has a free sample she might sell him:

patreon link is misspelled “comig” instead of “comic”

oops! 😀
Fixed. Thanks!
Ichabod further maintains that given the impracticality of using it as an ornament, the only reasonable place for it is a the top of the tree at the crown 😉
Um, Ichabod isn’t a glory/attention hog. Avi’s the one who wants their decorative-reproduction of their head on the top of the tree. Ichabod just thinks using his head as an ornament to be mildly morbid, particularly due to the number of times it’s been threatened or implied by others that they would do exactly that with his actual head.
Which also explains HOW they got an Ichabod’s Head Ornament while I can’t see any for any of the rest of the cast. Because people with similarities to Layla can’t avoid a good sale opportunity, while those like Ram Quatzi can’t even avoid a bad sale opportunity.
Um, this guy right here:

Oh yeah he believes the top of the tree is his rightful position! 😀
Oh yeah, Ichabod can definitely be egotistical – the fact that it’s subtle and he’s not a raving lunatic about it like Avi is because he was raised by Space Hippies instead of abusively-overindulgent-nonillionaires.
A person’s attitude while goofing off is not indicative of their actual position on anything. Unless you believe that everyone who enjoys playing games like Grand Theft Auto believes that stealing cars and getting into fights with police to be a good method to earn money, or that Pokemon actually encourages kids to start cock or dog fighting rings.
On the contrary, a persons attitude while goofing off alone in a conference room where they don’t expect anyone to see them is exactly indicative of their actual position, personality, state of mind, goals and fantasies. People act like their true selves when they don’t think anyone is watching. It’s when they’re around others that they all (or almost all at least) put on that fake mask to “fit in” to what society expects from them. Video games really are not the same thing, as that’s more like just watching a TV show that you’re interacting with. As to whether either video games or TV reflects of affects some folks personalities…that’s waaaaay more discussion than will fit in this venue.
