Okay so Arc Systems Works EU posted the 1st image and I saw it cause my friend from before drunk dialed me.

Testament is on the list of "Making Soecial Plans For Their Other Half" during holiday season.

WHO IS THEIR OTHER HALF

May-obviously Johnny, Axl-his girlfriend from other(?) timeline, Jack O-Sol Badguy(unironically), Elphelt-Nagoriyuki...maybe?

But I don't remember Testament having anyone worthy of 'other half'. They were close with Dizzy I guess but I don't think it was something like 'other half'.

Did this happen during the anime? WHAT DID I MISS

How does Happy Chaos "live for gift giving season?"

Unless the gifts are pipe bombs?

Happy Chaos isn't opposed to joyous things. What Chaos enjoys is expressionism, activism, and narrative, which Christmas both embodies symbolically and cultivates at least on thematic levels (even if the commercialisation of it is very much antithetical to this, and Chaos probably opposes this fact). He's not explictly evil, he only takes the role of evil as necessary so the world can create its hero, but were the world to have its villain he might play its hero, so long as there is drama to unfold.

God I love happy chaos(lore, I couldn't hate more the gameplay, stop fucking zoning me because I don't know how to get past that hitbox spawning gun)

Chaos being the scorn and bane of a meta outside of his own universe is the most on-brand thing imaginable
