--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was dark out in the city of New York, but that didn’t stop the turtles from having their own fun. It was a suggestion from Raph that they head topside tonight and maybe try out their mystic weapons. Adriaen wanted to quickly deny the suggestion, but he couldn’t, he did want to see what the others could do with their weapons.

And so, here they all were on one of the many rooftops in New York, Mikey swinging his kusari-fundō as fire blazes in the air.

“Oh, yeah, check this out! Power fun jitsu!” 

“Not bad, not bad. But check out these puppies!”

Raph punches his tonfās together, making a red wave of energy around his forearms, Mikey looks on in awe and even Adriaen was a bit impressed.

“If you guys wanna see real skills, look right here. I'm gonna make a portal to New Jersey.” Leo suddenly jumps in, taking their attention before swinging his mystical ōdachi, but nothing happens.

“Come on, power portal jitsu!” He was frustrated, groaning and slicing his sword around. Adriaen crossed his arms and watched on with a deadpan look. It seems that Leo was the only one who couldn’t quite control his mystic weapon.

Leo once more, tries to make a portal but only a tiny hand-sized one opens, which caused Raph to laugh at it.

“That's not going to get you across the street, let alone to New Jersey!”

“Okay but...” Leo scoffs before he sticks his hand in and another portal opens behind him, using it to scratch his own back.

“See. It's practical, which makes it better.”

”For scratching your back?” Adriaen blinks, before shaking his head. Mikey jumps up onto Adriaen’s shoulders, almost knocking him down but he gained his balance.

”Show us what you can do Adri!”

”Nothing special really.”

Leo glanced at him and used the portal to suddenly rub under Adriaen’s chin, making the latter almost fling his entire body back, it startled him and now he just felt weird that Leo was rubbing under his chin like an animal.

”Come on now, don’t be so modest.” Leo encourages, taking his hand away with a smirk plastered on his face. Mikey jumps off Adriaen to stand beside his brothers as Adriaen sighs and took his kama’s out.

“Fine.”

He walks over to the edge of the rooftop, feeling that familiar connection between him and his mystic weapons as he breathes in and threw them into the air, watching them fly off.

He used his hands to point in the direction of where he wanted them to move and they listened, moving left and right, up and down, he even did a 360 circle around them, when the weapons were coming back to him, one of the kama blades sliced a TV antenna off with ease, like it was butter.

Adriaen caught his kama’s and looks at the others who clap at the mini performance.

”Whoa! Those are sharp blades.” Raph muses, glancing at the broken antenna before staring at the kama’s. Mikey notices Donnie standing off from the group, Donnie looked to be analysing a purple crystal since he had his goggles over his eyes.

“Hey, Donnie, what are you doing, bud?”

“Well, while you guys took flashier items from Draxum, I, on per brand, took a more cerebral one. See, this crystal, combined with the elements...”

Leo cuts in, rolling his eyes. “Get to the pooooint.” He whined before retreating back to his position. Donnie scoffs and inserts the crystal back in his goggles and puts his goggles back on.

“Now I can see all of the mystic energy hidden around New York, you're welcome and thank you.”

Donnie has a look around, seeing if he could spot any mystical energy. “Whoa, that's awesome! What about that laundry mat?” Raph gawker before pointing over at the said laundry mat.

“It looks…like a laundry mat. But what do we have over here?”

Donnie grins and focuses on a little old lady pushing a shopping cart. He switches to the mystic filter and instead sees a fiery horned humanoid with roughly the same proportions as the little old lady.

“Whoa...underneath that old lady's skin is some sort of fire mutant thing.”

Adriaen raised his non-existent brows and leans over the edge slightly to get a better look; he saw the lady that Donatello mentioned but he didn’t see anything wrong with her. That was until this lady looks around surreptitiously and enters an alley. Then she makes a gesture at a brick wall covered in graffiti which activates a portal, and it appears on the wall, quickly stepping into the portal, leaving the cart behind and the portal closes again.

“She just disappeared into that wall!” Mikey exclaims the obvious, “I believe she went into some sort of cool mystic pizza place.” Donnie noted, making Adriaen blink owlishly at him. “What? How did both gather that’s where she went?” He tilted his head and shrugs his shoulders, silently telling him, ‘don’t worry about it’.

“Pizza! Guys, my blood suggie's getting low. I need to eat bad!” Mikey complains, rubbing his stomach with a pout. Feeling hungry themselves, the turtles jump down from the rooftop and stand in front of the brick wall in the alley. 

Leo jumps to the front of the group, “Step aside. Let's put the handsomely face first.” He grins, dramatically slicking back his non-existent hair. ”I thought you said Adriaen had the most handsome face?” Mikey innocently spoke up, shocking Adriaen who looked between the two brothers.

”I’m sorry what?”

Leo shakes his head and quickly clears his throat, “No, I said I have the most handsome face. Adriaen has the prettiest one.” He smirks, before turning to the black masked turtle who was still standing in bewilderment.

”Prettiest…?”

”Well, yeah. I’m not gonna call my brothers pretty or handsome. That’s weird. Plus, I think we can all agree that you do have a pretty face.” Leo tried to explain, coming off as cool and collected as one can be.

Nailed it.

Adriaen didn’t quite understand but he just shakes his head and decides to drop the topic. “Just…get on with it.” He exhales but then Raph seemed a little nervous.

“I don't think that's a good idea.”

“Why? The one who’s gonna get us inside is me!”

Leo turns to the wall and makes the secret gesture with his hand, but the skeleton graffiti blows a raspberry at him.

“Nice try, handsome boy.” Raph teases, pushing him aside and makes the same gesture, instantly the portal opens for him.

“Awesome!”

Raph, Mikey, Adriaen and Donnie leap in.

“Don't leave me!” Leo shouted but none glanced over at him, instead they were all gasping and looking around in awe, finding themselves in an amazing mystic pizzeria. “Alright, alright. Everybody be cool. This is our first time in a classy restaurant, uh…establishment.” Raph noted out loud but was interrupted by Leo who was groaning. “Hey, guys, this wall is definitely broken.” He called out, the others turning around to see Leo was stuck in the wall, only his top half made it through. 

Adriaen walks over and grabbed Leo by his arms, pulling him through, it was difficult, but he managed, and Leo stumbled out and onto Adriaen. The two falling down on the floor.

”Ugh…”

”Ow…”

Adriaen looks up, finding Leo laying on top of him, “Leo, you're crushing me.” He grunts, moving to sit up, Leo automatically sliding off him. “Whoops, my bad.” Leo chuckled a little awkwardly, standing up and helping Adriaen up to his own feet.

Once that situation was taken care of, they all gather together and look around, unsure of what to do.

“A table! What do we do?” Raph announces, noticing a free table for them. “Okay, be cool. I think we just sit at it and ask for stuff.” Donnie slowly says, a bit unsure himself before he and the others make their way over.

“Like regular people?” Mikey inquired which earned a delighted chuckle from Donnie himself. 

“I think here, we are regular.”

Huh…say isn’t this the pizza place that Leo wanted to bring everyone here before when we went to the hidden city? 

Adriaen followed Raph, Mikey and Donnie, unaware that Leo had wandered off somewhere. 

No, I don’t think it was. This place doesn’t look like it’s actually in the hidden city.

When they sat down, Adriaen notices a familiar skeleton guy. What was his name again? Ah, he couldn’t remember since they only met once and that was during the time Donnie’s tank got stolen by Splinter.

Ah, I guess this is the pizza restaurant that we visited once back then. We all seemed to have forgotten about this hidden gem. 

They had soon ordered some pizza; it looked pretty good, and Mikey was no doubt going to chow down to fix his sugar levels. When their pizza came over, smelling tasty that it even had Adriaen’s stomach rumbling, Mikey picks up a slice and smiles.

“Sweet Salvation.”

Before Mikey could even take a bite, Leo suddenly appeared and swats the pizza out of Mikey’s hand, which lands on a lizard mutant, but the mutant quickly eats it up.

“Hey! My salvation!” Mikey cried out in horror, Adriaen was baffled by Leo’s actions and turns to him. “Uh, wanna explain why you did that?” He interrogated, to which Leo stands up straight with proudness.

“What are you all doing? Don't eat that run of the mill garbage when you can have the world's greatest pizza!” 

He led the group over to a different room, it was darker compared to the main entrance, hallway was smaller too, but Adriaen did notice the pictures on the walls of different mutants. Leo gestures at a golden archway to who knows where, Donnie rolling his eyes and crossing his arms together.

“Oh, please. Every place in New York claims to have the world's greatest pizza.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, but this pizza is behind a velvet rope. Velvet rope, guys! Velvet rope! You know that means quality!” Leo quips in, touching the velvet rope that stood there in front of the golden archway. Adriaen didn’t really seem to be convinced and looked around the place again, he paused on a picture and narrowed his eyes before widening them in surprise.

”Isn’t this…Ronin?”

He called out, quickly having everyone gather around him to stare at the picture. He wasn’t wrong, it was indeed Ronin, holding a slice of pizza as he winks into the camera, his sword resting over his shoulder, he sat on top of a Minotaur.

”Okay, now we have to go in.” Leo spoke up first with determination, the boys weren’t sure why Leo so badly wanted to try this suspicious pizza that was apparently behind the rope, but no one questioned it and decided to humor him.

The five make their way over and enter, they step through a portal, when they all made it to the other side the portal closes behind them. From a distance there was a maze shaped like a pizza. Raph, Adriaen, Donnie and Mikey look confused while Leo looks excited.

“Leo, what is this place? I thought we were gettin’ pizza.” Raph narrowed his eyes in suspicion of this place, “It's nothing. We just got to solve an easy straight forward maze first.” Leo assured making the others groan and become annoyed.

“Wait, what? I didn't sign up for a pre-meal maze.”

Adriaen nods in agreement with Raphael, “I agree. Let’s just get pizza from the table we were at earlier.” He suggested, Mikey perking up and complaining briefly.

“Yeah. This looks really hard. My tummy just wants easy food!”

“Don't worry, just follow me. Onward, boys!” Leo waved off their comments and marched forward, the others grumbled and followed after the slider.

-----

They enter the maze where Leo was giving directions, turning corners and such.

“Left here, just follow my lead. Left again.”

Leo leads the group to dead end after dead end, at one point Leo and Raph start to argue about what directions to take.

"No!”

"Yes!”

Adriaen ignored them and strolled up to Mikey who was leaning against the wall, pouting in hunger. "Hang in there Mikey." Adriaen gave him a brief smile, patting the youngest of the turtles on the head. Once again, they got lost, Leo over-confidently dragging them onwards but Raph had enough and snapped.

“No, we're lost!”

“Guys, trust me. It's this way.”

Adriaen narrowed his eyes, "You said that before and we just end up in dead ends." He states, but before anyone else could pitch in and say something, a strange gurgling noise echoed out to them.

Adriaen, Raph, Donnie and Leo turn to look at Mikey who was just as confused.

"That's not my tum-tum. Nu-uh.”

Leo perks up and beams in delight. “No, no, no, no, that sounds of baking! We must be close.” He excitedly declares, following the noise, as did the others. They walk around the corner and see a quartet of anthropomorphic cooking tools: a furnace, rolling pin, pizza cutter, and a cheese grater. Together, they seem to be making a pizza.

"Wow, look at this! They make the pizza right in front of you! Can we get four extra-larges? One meat lover and one definitely not hawaiian.”

Leo looks back at the others who stare in bewilderment at the utensils.

“Okay how does everybody feel olives?” Leo asks but the four anthropomorphic tools pause their work and growl at them.

“Looks like they aren't a fan of olives.” Adriaen mumbles, Leo tilts his head and looks back.

“Huh?”

The tools charge the turtles, making them turn, run and defend themselves.

"Okay, okay, we don't need olives!”

Leo blocks the Pizza Cutter with his mystical ōdachi, Adriaen running in and slashing his blades at the cutter to help out Leo. Donnie got punched by the Cheese Grater, and Mikey gets hit by the rolling pin as Raph punches the Grater with his tonfā. He ducks as the Grater launches at him and Raph’s red bandana tails get shredded.

“Oh, come on! Nice try, Shred head! Time for my mystic punch jitsu.”

Raphael grins and goes to change up his mystic tonfā to deal a magical blow but out of nowhere Leo leaves Adriaen to defend himself, "Leo!" Adriaen hissed in annoyance, flinching when the pizza cutter charged at him, he holds up his kama's and blocks.

Leo leaps sideways in front of Raph to stop him from using mystical powers.

“No mystic powers!”

“No mystic powers?"

Raph was baffled by his younger brother before getting pinned down by the grater, in which Leo cuts the Grater in half with his ōdachi.“Help! Help, help, help!” Donnie's frantic cries was heard as the oven was trying to force Donnie into its fiery maw to cook Donnie alive.

Leo and Raph rescue Donnie and vanquish the oven, Raphael turns and glared at Leonardo.

“What's up with this maze, Leo? I almost got my cheeks grated.”

Leo spies the center of the maze, before casually smiling, "Relax, we solved it! The pizza is just over—" He went to say but the walls of the maze start to close around them, blocking their route.

“Oh no, it's closing!”

Adriaen jumps out of the way from the pizza cutter, where the tool was thankfully separated when the walls move in. Leo punches the wall blocking their easy route in frustration. “Why can't I use my power punch to take down this wall?” Raph questions in puzzlement, Leo sheepishly smiles, rubbing the back of his head.

“Funny story. But I may have left one thing out. The only rule in the Maze of Death is no mystic powers.”

Adriaen flinched and turned to Leo wide eyed at what he just heard.

"Come again? Maze of what now?”

"Okay, two things.”

Spikes pop out and flame throwers activate from the walls of the maze around them, the said walls begin to slowly advance towards them, if they’re not impaled or burnt to a crisp, they will surely be crushed.

Mikey and Donnie face back-to-back at the encroaching walls.

“Uh, guys?”

“Not now, Donnie. What's going on here, Leo?” Raph refocuses his attention to Leo, annoyed with him. Adriaen standing beside him, just as annoyed. Donnie and Mikey duck a jet of flame but the top of Mikey’s head catches on fire. He doesn’t notice at first while Donnie covers his mouth and stares in shock. Then Mikey feels it and screams, running around in a panic.

I should probably help them…

He glanced over and sees Donnie switching his tech-bō into a fire extinguisher mode and extinguishes Mikey’s head with some sort of foam.

Guess not.

"Nothing, we're just here to get the pizza…and to get my photo on the wall of champions.” Leo mumbled the last part in hopes Raph and Adriaen didn't hear him, but of course they did.

"What?!"

“Aha! I knew we weren't here for pizza! You wanted to come here so you could get your picture on the wall. To prove you're the best at something.”

Adriaen recalled the pictures they saw, Ronin's picture in particular. Leo and Raph continue to argue at each other.

“That's what I just said.”

“Don't try to deny it, Leo. I got you!”

“I'm not trying to deny it.”

Adriaen quips in and rubs his temples, "Wait a second. Is this because you saw Ronin's picture?" He inquired, Leo wincing and shaking his head with a scoff.

"No way! Why would I care if he was on the wall of champions? You think just because of that, I wanted to best him at something, show him he's not special because of a picture? Thats, just…uh, insane."

Leo was terrible at lying to Adriaen, it was very obvious that was his goal. "Unbelievable." A mutter from Adriaen before Mikey yells out to them in a panic.

“We're gonna get skewered!”

The walls get even nearer as the turtles huddle up.

“We're trapped, how are we gonna get out of here?!” Leo gulps, causing the others to glare and shout angrily.

“Make a portal!”

“I can't, it's against the rules. I'll never get my picture on the wall of champions.” Leo tried to reason, but none cared for his goal.

"Who cares about some picture when we're gonna be crushed!” Raph logically shouts, Leo sighs and whines.

“Fine."

Leo tries to make a portal with his ōdachi but nothing materializes, he clicks his tongue before his shoulders dropped. “I can't do it. I got no mystic mojo. I'm useless!” He morosely exclaims, Raph steps closer to Leo and gently puts a hand on his brother's shoulder.

“Hey, that's not true, brother. You just got to believe in yourself." He kindly assured, but he wasn't done. "And know this: If I die in this maze, I will haunt you for the rest of your life.” He darkly threatens, “Well, in theory, you'd both be ghosts, so I'm not sure how you would—" Donnie began as Adriaen nudged his side, "Donnie you're not helping." He deadpans, turning to Leo who gave everyone puppy dog eyes.

“You know it'd really help me if you guys said that I was your champion."

All four of the turtles yell together in unison.

“Just open it!”

With a groan, Leo turns around to make another attempt as the walls close in, he whispers to himself and braces, managing to make an escape portal.

“I did it! I really am the best at—"

Raphael wasted no time, grabbing everyone with his big arms and launches the group into the portal at once. He manages to squeeze them all through before the spikes impale them.

From above, the turtles pop out of Leo’s exit portal screaming and land in a pile on the ground. Adriaen groans, being squashed in between Mikey and Donnie. Leo however was the first to jump up, delighted, as he gestures to the giant Minotaur statue holding a large pizza box on an open palm.

“We're at the center of the maze!”

The others untangle themselves from the pile and stare up at the statue. Adriaen crossed his arms, not all that impressed.

Leo climbs up the statue and grabs the pizza box, holding it up triumphantly.

"We got the pizza! I am the champion!”

While Adriaen wasn't feeling all that victorious, Raph, Mikey and Donnie however cheer and celebrate the victory. The statue's giant head slowly turns to face Leo standing on its arm with a grinding sound. Adriaen was first to notice, "Uh, Leo…" He called out for his attention, until a new voice of an angry woman echoed into their ears.

“Cheaters! Who dares to try and eat my pizza without following the strict customer agreement?”

The turtles stop celebrating, Donnie stepping back slightly, "That cannot be good.” He states as green vines appear from nowhere and lunge at them, quickly they scatter.

“You can't escape me! I am the assistant manager of this maze, and the maze does what I want, pending corporate approval.”

Mikey gets tossed into the air by a moving pillar and gets wrapped up in vines. Donnie runs but hits a dead end and the vines catch him, too.

“No, no!”

“Uh oh.”

Leo’s leg is grabbed by the vines, and he’s hurled into the air, followed by Raph. Adriaen dodged the incoming vines, using his kama's to slice and deflect, but he left his back open, a vine sneakily grabbing his waist and lifting him in the air, he drops his weapons on the floor as he grunts and struggles to free himself.

Captured and bound, the turtles are brought forward to the statue and a real Minotaur appears on top of the statue, she looked furious.

“You cut up my maze! You cheated! Now you will all pay!”

A magical hand of fire bursts into the air above the maze, coming down to smite the group.

“Wait!" Leo shouts, the fire going out as Leo uses this chance to explain himself.

“I'm the one who cheated. I created the portal to save everyone. Punish me, their champion.”

While it was certainly heartfelt, the four others nod in agreement, all shouting the same thing.

“Yeah! Punish him!"

The minotaur scoffs with narrowed eyes, "You all tried to cheat out my world's greatest za!" She humps, powering up to happily smite them. But thankfully Leo was quick to think of something. “How can you call it ‘world's greatest’? How do you know we haven't had better?” He taunted lightly; the others were confused but Adriean swiftly knew what Leo was trying to do.

The Minotaur’s fire goes out and she looks annoyed.

“What do you mean, better? You're not talking about Famous Minotaur Pizza on 19, are you?”

Adriaen clears his throat, playing along to help out Leo. "Oh, that place is pretty good. Probably the only pizza place I go to on the daily." He lies, Leo smirking in response and adding his own comment.

“Ohhhhh, man. You talking about FMP on 19th? I love that place!”

The vines crush Leo a little, making him squeal in pain, but then the vines put all the turtles down and release them.

"That garbage that's called pizza? Wait until you try mine!”

The Minotaur lady opens up the large pizza box to offer a sample, the turtles stare in hunger, when the vines shove a piece of pizza each into each turtle's mouth, who all savor it.

Adriaen choked a little bit when the food was shoved into his mouth, but he recovered and chews on the pizza.

Damn…this is actually pretty good.

"This pizza good!" Mikey sighs in delight, the Minotaur lady smirks triumphantly.

"Best you ever had?”

“Really appreciate you letting us go, it was the right thing to do.” Donnie looks up at her, but the moment was ruined when Leo smugly points to himself.

“Who's your champion, guys?”

Adriaen, Raph, Donnie and Mikey all glower at the red eared slider.

"They'll come around. First, where do we go to get our picture taken for the Wall of Champions? Cause I wanna make sure they capture my good side.” Leo perks up in excitement at the lady Minotaur who grins mischievously and closes the pizza box.

“Wrong wall.”

One of the vines punches square Leo in the face, knocking him out. The others gather around him before smirking. After being released, the turtles head home, Adriaen carrying the unconscious Leo on his back as he maneuvered his way across the roofs and to the sewers.

He glanced over at Leo's face that was resting on his shoulder, he softly chuckled and smiled, whispering under his breath, so no one could hear him.

"Your my champion, Leo."

-----

Back at the pizza restaurant, under a sign on the wall that says ‘Cheaters,’ a photo of the turtles enjoying their ill-gotten pizza is pinned to the wall, with Leo passed out on the ground. The group are the only ones in the ‘Cheaters’ section.

A/N: I APOLOGISE FOR ANY GRAMMAR MISTAKES THAT WERE MADE, I TYPE REALLY FAST AND OFTEN DON'T SEE THEM UNTIL I ACTUALLY PUBLISH THE CHAPTER.  

The end of it was cute y’all! Too bad Leo was passed out—

First Chapter here

Next Chapter here

[monster-noises]

I mean, there's most of me that is primarily looking for a Partner, someone to connect with and build a long term relationship.

But there is, at this point, at least a Bit of me, a slowly growing sliver

That would

At the very Least

Like someone to Match with me, on these godforsaken apps, who is very upfrontly like 'lets chat for a few days/ a week or two then go on a Date'

Cause like.. i've never Been on a fuckin Date Before Really.

And maybe I wanna know what it's Like. Maybe having a normal human experience, regardless of how it goes, would make me feel better about the whole..... Thing????? And maybe I would just enjoy it idk!

Maybe it would give me some insight, or the confidence to ask other guys on dates myself so i don't feel like i'm floundering around in the quietest corner of rhe metaphorical Room of the Apps all the time!! It would be cool!! To have even a Modicum of a connection I make from a Dating. App. To be even Remotely Interested in Dating!!!!

Don't get me wrong i've made at least two really great friends from matches on the apps, one of them i Do consider a best friend (hi hello you'll probably see this i hope you know who u are i lov u) but just!!!!

Any amount of Explicitly Forward Romantic Intent Would Be Nice.

I'd Like To Live On The Same Planet As Everyone Else And Experience Normal Human Things Just One Time In My Life Maybe. Perchance. Perhaps. If At All Possible.

And I Knoooooooooooooooow I know that the apps are Bad and I knoooooooow the far superior method is to engage with community activities that would contain like minded people. But my GOD I don't have the time or developed social skills for that! As much as I would Love to!!!

I am Aware.

But that's not the pooooint. That's not the Point.

The point is

I guess

I would just like someone to maybe someday express explicit interest in and attraction too me, and to act on that on Anyway, like it seems Everyone Else Gets To Do, even just a little bit for once.

[skruttet]

keep imagining a snufkin-crying-over-the-dried-up-sea scene where moomintroll comforts him 😭

[hunybody]

you know, he knew you. your pal, your buddy, your bucky

[patricida]

what's even the point of having stories and plot if you're just gonna consume chew ruminate and regurgitate them into the same bland molds and tropes in endless combinations of romance aus historic aus coffeeshop aus whatever literally what is the point of narrative and how it shapes the characters within it if you're gonna turn every character into the same archetypes to be refracted in a thousand different and yet identical fanfics what is the point what is the pooooint

[wolftattoo]

literally what is the pooooint of a 3 hr shift you are just wasting my time at that point

Mikey: Plus there is Ashton's heart

Ashton: What about my heart.

Ashton: Awww Luke misses us.

Luke: What about his heart?

Luke: Shut up, Ashton

Ashton: Make me.

Luke: I'll pass

Ashton: 🙄

Luke: Why are you always rolling your eyes at me?

Mikey: I'm not

Mikey: I'm just saying

Luke: I think I should second guess actually living with the three of you

Ashton: My heart????? What about my heart?

Ashton: .........because rolling my eyes is fun.

Luke: I don't know! It was Mikey! I don't even think he knows what he was talking about

Ashton: 🤣

Ashton: I'm teaching myself tiktok dances.

Luke: Half the time I don't even know what he's talking about

Luke: NO

Luke: NO NO NO! You will not fall victim to that!

Ashton: ....But I look good.

Luke: I-

Luke: No comment

Mikey: His arms are big.

Mikey: Again - just saying.

Mikey: I'm also a great roommate

Mikey: Cal is too, and what will he do without us

Luke: I've noticed how big his arms are

Ashton: There's one that's like "come and fuck my life up" and then you push the camera down. And I'm kind of amused by it.

Ashton: Mikey has a point.

Mikey: Mikey - who, what?

Ashton: I said you had a pooooint.

Luke: See he doesn't even know what he talks about

Mikey: Yeah, that's what I thought.  Just checking.

Luke: You had a point Mikey

Ashton: 🤣

Ashton: Also it's nice to know "I look good" gets a no comment

Luke: I said no comment

Luke: Thats kinda a comment

Mikey: I said your arms were big and Luke agreed

Luke: No one wants my comment trust me on this

Mikey: I'm not sure I want to guess at that comment

Luke: No Mikey you don't

Ashton: I'm curious.

Luke: No Ashton, you're not

Ashton: 👀

Luke: You're not, Irwin

Ashton: 👀

Luke: Stop giving me those eyes!

Ashton: 👀👀

Luke: Ashton Fletcher Irwin!

Ashton: Yes?

Luke: Stop it

Ashton: But.

Luke: but what? there's no buts

Ashton: I have a butt.

Luke: Yes yes you do

Ashton: ......

Luke: Okay time to change the subject

Ashton: I'm learning a lot.

Mikey: Do you guys want to share a room?

Ashton: What.

Mikey: Also, what about Luke?  He's really tall, knows how to dress.

Ashton: He's basically a bean stalk with a good fashion sense.

Luke: Shut the fuck up, Clifford

Luke: Well gee thanks

Ashton: Was a compliment.

Luke: Calling me a bean stalk is not a compliment

Mikey: He's filled out a bit.  Five years ago he was a beanstalk.

Mikey: I'm just helping.

Ashton: Helping...?

Luke: Mikey, Mikey darling just stop

Mikey: I'm helping.  Come on, Ash, it's your turn.

Ashton: You've gotta tell me what you're helping with.

Ashton: Because what am I taking a turn on?!

Mikey: Okay what about him turns you on?

Luke: MICHAEL GORDON CLIFFORD

Luke: WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING THIS

Ashton: I just choked.

Mikey: Why?  I'm helping.  That's Doctor Clifford to you.

Ashton: And I'm highly amused.

Luke: Helping with what?

Luke: I swear to god I am going to hurt you

Mikey: Ashton, you did not answer my question.

Ashton: 🤣

Ashton: I love seeing him sweat. This is amusimg

Luke: Mikey! Stop it!

Luke: Oh my god I'm trading this whole damn band in

Calum: Hey! What did I do!

Calum: I walk back in this chat and I see you’re trading us in?

Luke: Okay I'll keep Cal

Luke: But you two are gone

Ashton: Because Mikey's helping

Calum: Thank you 😍

Luke: HELPING WITH WHAT?!

Luke: Embarassing me?

Ashton: And I have no idea what he's helping with

Calum: In other news

Mikey: Luke, his answer is everything, he just doesn't want to say.

Ashton: Calum.

Luke: Mikey stop it OMG

Calum: I might be a bit late getting to the hotel, I have a stop to make

Ashton: Are you getting laid.

Mikey: MAKE WHAT

Luke: I dont need to know about anyone getting laid

Ashton: Also how am I embarrassing you?!

Calum: Wow ash, you read me like a book

Calum: It’ll literally be like five minutes

Ashton:.......Man. I hope it doesn't take five minutes.

Luke: Not you, Ash! Mikey

Calum: Mate

Luke: la la la la I can't hear any of this

Ashton: I love fucking with all of you. It's fun.

Mikey: Sure you can.  He's behind you staring at you all night.

Luke: jackass

Calum: It’s been a hot minute, so I gotta do what I gotta do.

Calum: Text you all soon

Luke: MICHAEL STOP OH MY GOD

Calum: 😍

Mikey: Cal, you sound like you gotta piss, not fuck

Calum: Jesus mate, what do you want me to say??

Calum: I’m about to go to pound town on a girl I hardly know??

Calum: Luke is going to literally die of embarrassment

Mikey: I know what you meant, but never say it'll just take a minute

Mikey: Unless it will just take a minute

Mikey: and that is a little sad.

Calum: No, idk. I don’t know her.

Ashton: I'm crying.

Calum: Literally tinder over here is nuts

Calum: Aussie girls are hard to get but American girls??

Mikey: Sex first then you can get to know her.

Calum: EXACTLY

Mikey: See, Mikey solves everything

Ashton: ....this is the first thing you've solved all night.

Calum: Oh what the fuck

Calum: She dipped

Mikey: I'm working on the rest.  I think you and Luke should share a room

Luke: No Michael

Ashton: Why?

Luke: Did Calum get stood up?

Calum: I did... what the fuck man

Luke: Lets focus on that, K Mikey?

Luke: Focus on Cal

Calum: No, it’s fine. Damnit.

Calum: Okay, alright, I’m heading to the hotel now.

Ashton: Michael, answer me and then we focus on Cal.

Mikey: Wait, what?

Luke: Fuck

Calum: Let’s all just regroup. I’m hugging all of you as soon as I see you all.

Mikey: How?  Were you supposed to meet her?

Calum: Yes.

Calum: And she backed out.

Calum: I’m not mad

Ashton: She's a dumb shit.

Mikey: Oh shit, what was she doing instead?

Calum: Right? I’m a stud. How could anyone resist these curls?

Calum: Or

Mikey: curls?

Luke: Dude maybe she got nervous

Ashton: You're adorable.

Luke: And where tf do you have curls?!

Calum: Yeah, idk where curls came from

Calum: I used to have curls

Ashton: 🤣

Calum: Should I bring them back?

Luke: I have curls

Luke: NO

Ashton: Yes you should.

Luke: Thats my thing now

Calum: Remember that poll I did on Twitter

Calum: And I said no curls

Calum: Well

Calum: Now I’m gonna put a new one up

Ashton: 🤣

So what do you think Elliot as a main would be like, In OG skam, sana a POC Muslim, lost half her season to shed light on even’s backstory and noora’ getting back with William. Granted, those storylines were connected and tying up loose ends for the show to end, but still. As a POC woman, I don’t see how a season for Elliot would be relevant. It would just be more of Elu, which I’m all here for in the background. But Other stories should be told. Skam is a voice for the underrepresented

I’m sorry, but…how is bipolar disorder not underrepresented as well? There are very few shows that I know of that have done it justice (from what I’ve heard bipolar people say). A season about Eliott would be a season about Eliott and a chance to show people what it’s like to live with mental illness, but also that it’s not the end of the world, which I think is still very needed. If we’re going full representation olympics, then Eliott is a mentally ill pansexual man so he gets two bonus points. Two and a half, since bi/pan men are so underrepresented! 

I am also a POC woman, just fyi, and I don’t see how a season about Eliott would be harmful or taking away from anyone else. Especially since when you look at the other people that have been suggested: Daphné, Arthur and Alexia…they’re all white. Daphné is a girl (points!), she’s probably struggling financially (pooooints!!). Alexia is also a girl (points!), and she’s bi (points, points!). Arthur is…maybe bi? People want him to be? As far as we know, straight white teenage boy…yet I *still* would be interested in his story? Each of these characters shows potential IMO. So…yeah. An Eliott season would be just fine. - C.

Hey! Maybe it’s weird to ask but do you have patreon? I’d love to donate regularly , just please don’t stop make posts about Skam! It’s so much relief to read Hope you have a great week, sunshine 😍

This is so sweet, but i don’t have patreon and i won’t make one either, thank you for thinking about me tho.

[ohifonlyx33]

I would like to know WHEN they learned all these moves but I don't even care too much because uwu look at them killing all the bad guys. So proud. nah bro. Radiation won't kill her today. the STAB WOUND WILL. Go on though. BUY HER SOME TIME. MY PARENTS FIGHTING SIDE BY SIDE THO. DID U SEE THE SYNCHRONISED SHOT THEY TOOK??? ICONS. EVERY ONE IS NOT GOING TO GET INSIDE THE PERIMITER I BET YOU. MARCUS NO. JONES NO. COME ON GUYSSSS. GET UPPP. "Was it enough?" *cue me, making sick whale noises as they DONT gEt UP* HOW ARE WE ONLY HALF WAY THROUGH THE EPISODE??? Deeeeacon tho "don't you [bleeps] leave without me!" That is literally his character tho. THIS MONTAGE IS teNSE. RUN CASSIE. WHERE'S COLE? IS JONES INSIDE THE SAFe ZONE? GO HANNAH! COME ON DEACON YOU IDIOT. YAS TEAMWORK. WE'RE ONLINE AND READY TO SPLINTER. (i bet Olivia is going to ruin their plan too tho) NOOOOOOO DEACON IS LEFT OUT. NOT. COOL. "Don't leave me." HIS SAD LITTLE VOICE... And I'm not even the biggest fan of Deacon so like.. WHAT??? T.T why do I Feel things? "we can't leave him"/"we already have." OH NOW COLE WILL BE BLAMED FOR SAYING THEY HAVE TO GO EVEN THOUGH ITS NO ONE'S FAULT EXCEPT OLIVIA's. I don't *love* the way they framed Cassie not wanting to leave him almost like a romantic scene though. Ugh. BUT HIS TEARFUL FACE. I actually kinda feel bad for the sonuvagun. Their cycle is ended??? does she really think she beat them? OR IS THIS JUST LITERALLY A NEW CYCLE. Like, what is her end objective really anyway? If she does win, then what? Well, I guess the Red Forest but??? *sigh* WHAT IS THE POOOOINT. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE WHEN KATERINA JONES WAXES PHILOSOPHICAL ABOUT TIME. THIS MONOLOGUE THING IS EVERYTHING. I WILL have to rewatch that at some point. WHERE ARE THEY WHERE ARE THEYYY? also... where's Jennifer? WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THEy PROBABLY SPLINTERED IN TIME???? *GASP* IS THAT THE HOTEL??? THE CASSIE COLE HOTEL???? THE EMERSON!!!!!!!!!!! UWU (also this music has me like T.T) Ramse mention. OWWW </3 Cole is always holding everyone together and even feeling a little relief/hope that they made it put, but Cassie is just feeling empty. This season will end me if they are like this the whole time. I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY. Even if it's just in the now. oh this music is good TOO. DRAMATIC CINEMATIC SHOTS FOR EMOTIONAL IMPACT. YEEEEEEES. Dang look at the snowy city all destroyed. SO COOL. That mug shot tho... was was that... Cole's MOM? was it someone we've seen before?? Sorry, I am BAD AT THIS FACIAL RECOGNITION THING. Sad Cassie. Cole made a joke and finally she gave a liiiiiiittle smile. AWWW. COME ON GUYS GIVE ME MORE. Oh nevermind, he sees the ouroboros and has a FLASHBACK TimE. BUT I FORGIVE THE INTRUSION BECAUSE YEAAAAAAAAH.

[blasphannie]

I, for one, can’t wait for the Outfits vid where he will try on the outfits he chose for himself and do the commentary.

....what's the point? If it's not a surprise then what's the flippin pooooint?

some things just...don't work for solo content. and that's fine...just leave it in the past as the god tier kind of content that it once was. why make half assed revival of such iconic stuff is beyond me.

[my-add-chronicles]

But see it’s STARTING TO WIGGLE!!! It’s jumping above the line!

I’m just supper pessimistic right now because that’s what tired does to me, I swear my mood and willingness to go on or try drops one point every two hours, especially after a long work day.

So I better resume my night routine and get my ass in bed and hope for the best. Pessimistic me is really self-indulgent like what’s the pooooint I’m fucked give me my instant gratification let’s stay up all night and eat sweets or something and who cares about suffering tomorrow we suffer anyway bleeehhhhhhh

But no we got a blip here captain, we gotta keep swimming

[lynxgriffin]

She Walks A Lonely Road

OKAY! Here we go with starting 0.2!

I AM READY FOR AQUA TO WRECK MY HEART

Huuuh okay so we’re doing autosave in this game…

And apparently I need to turn brightness all the friggin way down

IT’S!! SO SHINY!!!

Also i actually really like this version of Simple and Clean, I think it might be my favorite

AQUA MY QUEEN I WILL SAVE YOU

Going to do standard mode again, although I have no clue what I’ll need for any potential secret endings

Woooah hey this is from the end of Back Cover basically

Okay I’m glad I went and watched that first then

YESSS Please fill in Riku and Kairi on this important stuff

Also man these graphics will take some getting used to

You saw her Mickey WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SOMETHING EARLIER

Mmmmm I love that ocean water though

Oh okay it’s just the Simple and Clean title movie again

OH WELL I’ll listen to it twice, it’s good stuff

SORA REACHING OUT FOR AQUA’S HAND!!!

Oh wow she found Caslte of Dreams right away

Ooooh got a little bit of flow motion in there. Kinda reminds me of FFXIII.

OF COURSE there are treasure chests in the realm of darkness, why wouldn’t there be

Haha dang, so it starts Aqua at level 50? That’s kind of a nice touch

Well geez Aqua this is depressing

Apparently, time has run out for this bridge. *dons sunglasses*

Man I am really digging the environments here, sooo pretty

No seriously this is a gorgeous environment to play in

And that is all of the gears!

Okay I really sucked at fighting it, but that tower of Shadows boss was still awesome

Aqua honeyyyy

Terra: No I’m just here to make you sad and then vanish into sparkles

OH wait we’re suddenly in Dwarf Woodlands now

Well this is getting quite creepy, but at least I think I’m getting the hang of the controls

These jumps are making me kinda nervous actually

THAT WAS INCREDIBLY NERVE-WRACKING FOR SOME REASON

Aqua: I’ll kick anyone’s ass! I’ll kick my own ass!

This is like something out of my nightmares, geebus

This is really cool but also I’m so uncomfortable right now

Nooo someone please help this poor child

Oh cool, so I can go back to some previous places! I know there’s some objectives that I missed.

CHASE YOUR FRIENDS, AQUA

Man it’s nice that Aqua can actually reach a Darkside’s head just with doubleflight

Well that whole sequence was fukkin awesome

Oh well that looks appropriately hellish

That is WAY too many Darksides here

No fair that’s an entirely new move that I don’t know how to counter!

OKAY unfortunately I don’t think I can get much farther right now since I’m running out of time tonight, but I’ll come back later and finish this off since I think I’m close to the end anyway.

Aaand all right! We’re back at it and will attempt to finish story stuff!

I’m sure I’ll want to come back and try to get all of the objectives later anyways

HUH okay I wasn’t expecting this, although I am suspicious

Well this is totally heartbreaking

Terra: I’LL KICK MY OWN ASS TOO, AQUA

Well that sure was a thing that happened

Oh heeey, WHO’S THE LEADER OF THE CLUB THAT’S MADE FOR YOU AND ME~

Man am I glad Mickey was here, because I still really suck against those Wave O’ Heartless

HUH so that does explain how Mickey ended up there in KH1

Wait Aqua how do you know that phrase?

OMG those Heartless are ADORABLE they’re like giant horrible Zigzagoons

Well there’s a brilliant light ahead and the music’s died down so I assume that’s where I need to go

OH no we’re at Destiny Islands now

YES YOU TWO PUT SOME PIECES TOGETHER ALREADY

Holy hot DAMN that was a fukkin kickass boss battle with some awesome music

Like even though I was not doing well through it because I still am not sure on the strategy of the demon waves I DIDN’T CARE BECAUSE IT WAS FRIGGIN COOL

Like dang son what was that boss battle music, I need it

GOOD JOB ON THAT BOSS BATTLE SQUEENIX THAT WAS A COOL EXPERIENCE

OH SO the dark realm Keyblade was just behind that door the whole time OKAY THEN

Good thing we got teleported to right where we needed to be

Mickey: Let me just fix that retcon here…okay good

HAHA OMG THEY JUST MAGICKED HIS KINGS CLOTHES OFF

FIIIIIX EVERY RETCOOOON, BRIIIIDGE EVERY PLOT POOOOINT

OH well that was neat. And explains why Aqua wasn’t there with Riku and Mickey at that point

So Destiny Islands and all the rest of the worlds get restored but POOR AQUA GETS LEFT BEHIND

Please first order of business in KH3 go find this poor woman

HUH that is…wait you’re just stopping the cutscene right there?!!

THAT’S A DANG GOOD QUESTION RIKU

Yen Sid: Well obviously if we had let you in on this backstory all of you would’ve done something really stupid

FINALLY Kairi gets some friggin speaking lines!

YES YES YES KAIRI AND LEA TRAINING TOGETHER GIVE ME THIS

Man even more mysterious suitcases

THESE TWO GUYS SO FKKIN CUTE

AHHHH MY SON THE TRINITY NO I H AVE MISSED THEM

Yen Sid: And we’re setting up early why in KH3 you’ll be starting from level 1 and no abilities YET AGAIN

I see you hanging that lampshade there, Sora

THESE FRIGGIN DOOF CUTIES I SWEAR

I LOVE THEM

Okay so! That’s the end for Fragmentary Passage!

SO WHEN ARE WE GETTING KH3 AGAIN?
