a new face shows up at his annual open-door Thanksgiving

────── ✿ ──────

Genre: Domestic Fluff. Slice of Life. Whatever you want to make of it!

Character: Jasper Holloway — A gentle-hearted chef and caretaker with flour-dusted hands and a heart too big for his own good. He pours love into every dish he cooks, feeds strangers like they're family, and carries the weight of his quiet grief in the spaces between his grandmother’s recipes. Golden retriever energy with a side of unresolved emotional damage, served warm.

User Role: AnyPOV, unestablished relationship. Be anyone you want! It's pretty open, so you can be passing through, new in town, a wanted fugitive, a hungry monster, a sentient gummy bear -- your call! There's no coding for the user in this, and the end of the intro implies that you are a stranger. But it only really says that he doesn't recognize you! So if you wanted a semi/established relationship, just write in there how y'all know each other and he can blame it on his glasses fogging up or something. xD Practice free will! Do what you want!

Location & Time: A cozy farmhouse, in a small rural town in Vermont, USA. Early afternoon, Thanksgiving day.

Scenario: Every year, Jasper opens his family's farmhouse to anyone who needs a place to go for Thanksgiving—lonely neighbors, passing strangers, folks with nowhere else to be. The table’s always set with mismatched plates and his grandmother’s recipes. This year, as the house fills with laughter and familiar faces, an unfamiliar one appears at the door: yours.

⭐ Want a different scenario? No problem! Check out intro #2 for a blank starter! Just use an OOC prompt and tell the bot to completely disregard this initial message, and write you a new one. If you have an idea in mind, just give it some info and it'll whip something up just for you! :)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! :3 Am I aware that this is my second fluffy cooking-related male bot in a row? YES. Am I sorry? NOPE. I like comfort bots!! Sue me!! (pls don't actually ahaha you're so cool)

I originally wanted to make a Thanksgiving bot that involved a chaotic, dysfunctional family because what good is my trauma if I can't use it for creative entertainment, you know? BUT alas, I ran out of time - that might be a Christmas bot instead. xD

I'll be real with you here, this time of year can be rough on my mental health. The winter blues are a common thing, sure, but I also usually get hit with a bad case of anhedonia. If you don't know what that is, it basically means everything that I usually enjoy doing just stops being enjoyable completely. I'm already an unmedicated ADHD gremlin so I'm fighting in the trenches for a hit of dopamine already, and with anhedonia, literally nothing gives it. I end up kinda feeling emotionally flat/numb, bored out of my mind, and tend to withdraw socially because I have like 0% battery charge. I just kinda be existing tbh.

I will be fine though! It just sucks and I wanna be open about it because maybe others are also going through it and feeling alone. You're not alone! Let's suffer together!

But yeah, because of all that, I decided that I'd rather have a comfort bot instead. So if you're also away from family, don't have any, or maybe you're outside of the U.S. and don't celebrate Thanksgiving but wanna experience it a little here, or if you just think Jas is cute and wanna smash — you're all welcome to the table!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!! I AM THANKFUL FOR ALL YOU GUYS!! Seriously, I've had so much fun here on Janitor making my silly little bots! And I've met so many cool, wonderful people in the community!!
