stop i love the fall update on ur page so yummyy

could i get legit anyone from beta squad with halloween costumes? thanks queen!

stop thank you so much?? just for being the first person I’ll do all of them bc I can’t choose 😻 this is just my thoughts on what I think they’d wear with you if you were to celebrate Halloween together!

Halloween Costumes with Beta Squad

Niko:

Joker and Harley Quinn

Pretty self explanatory I think- I just imagine him really getting into the role, acting all crazy the whole night. Him just holding onto you by the waist, showing you off to everyone. Both of your face makeups are completely ruined half way through the night from giving each other little smooches with the red lipstick 💋

Nick and Judy from Zootopia

Guys. The way he’d gain so much confidence with this omg? Same with the Joker, he’d get so into character and just flirt with you the whole night. (tee hee this one is personally my favorite I can’t lie)

Chunkz:

Tourist + Statue of Liberty

You’d both wait till the last minute to put something together but it’d still be the best costume of the night omg. Him wearing a “I ♥️ NY” shirt and he’d bring a little camera and take little Polaroids while you posed as the statue- SO CUTE!

Ken and Barbie

Ok I know this seems super unlikely but HEAR ME OUT. He knows how popular the movie is and knows how much you love it, so he agrees to do it with you- as long as he can be mojo dojo casa house Ken. He’d end up singing I’m Just Ken for the whole party ARG!

Aj:

Remy and Linguini from Ratatouille

The plus with this one is that you both could play either character 😋 If he’s the rat he’s pretending to hate it the whole night but secretly loves how amused it makes you. Either way though he’s being goofy with it the whole evening - he’s calling you “my little chef” ofc.

Coraline and Wybie

This one is so cute I can’t even. A bunch of people would ask for photos and you two cutie patooties would give the biggest smiles, hugging eachother closely! The shippers going absolutely insane with this one too🤩

Kenny:

Cop and Robber

Whichever one you want to be, he’d be the opposite, he doesn’t mind. The photos you take for insta would be so HAWT I can’t lie..

Bugs and Lola Bunny

This one would be so iconic too! Just giggles and laughs his laugh while walking around in the costume. Has his arm around your shoulder the whole time, telling you it’s so people know you’re together (everyone can tell either way but that besides the point😌)

Sharky:

Football (soccer) players

He’d be so excited for this one, AW. Ya’ll could really pick any players and still look absolutely amazing with this one <3 at this point he’s just using this as an excuse to show you off to everyone

Spiderman + Spidergirl

Yesyesyes. The amount of tiktoks he’d film with you while in costume would be through the roof. Upside down kiss?? Maybe?? I say yes personally😋. This or you could dress up as MJ either way you’re going to look amazing in his eyes <3

ok, hope this was decent! be sure to check out my fall event if you’d like something like this <33 thank you ever so much for reading and for the amazing request from anon <3

love ya!!

Kinktober 2024: Free Space

Last Kinktober piece! We did it! 31 days of prompts! 31 days of porn with plot, though it wasn't supposed to be with plot. We broke 90k words written for the month! Whooo!!!

Ship: Veronique "V"/Jackie Welles Content Warning: cunnilingus, p in v, jessica rabbit costume, sass Length: 1.8k

Veronique had argued with Jackie about what to wear for the Halloween party that Lizzie’s bar was hosting. She had hoped to do matching costumes, but he let it slip he was taking his mom because she wanted to see Judy. Mama Welles had practically adopted Judy after they liberated Clouds. V agreed Jackie could match with his mom and she’d find something else to dress up as. That’s when she turned to Judy who had an idea for her.

“I haven’t watched this movie since I was a kid. You sure about this Judy?” Veronique asked as Judy helped zip her into the dress. Her hair was all wrong for the outfit so the wig fit snug against her head for it.

“Your proportions were meant for this V. Jackie is going to swallow his tongue when he sees you sauntering out. I let the moxx know to help keep an eye on anyone trying to come onto you,” Judy said as she studied the sequined dress.

“Why?” V asked with suspicion in her sky blue eyes. Judy grinned.

“Because I don’t need Jessica Rabbit throwing some dude through the wall because he tried to cop a feel.” Veronique laughed at the mental image that brought up. She agreed it wouldn’t be the best look either. “Not to mention if Jackie sees someone hit on you.” Judy nodded as she grinned. “Now to put my costume on.”

“Just a pair of bunny ears Judy?” V asked sarcastically.

“Hey, and a bowtie.” V arched an eyebrow but agreed Judy looked cute. “Now we match.”

“Hahaha, Jessica Rabbit and her darling wife Roberta Rabbit.” Judy flashed her a cheeky grin and they both headed up the stairs towards the lounge. The moxx let Judy through and nodded towards V.

“Lookin’ good there, V. Judy, nice choice in costumes.” Judy waved towards one of them and V grinned as they headed out into the main lounge room. V’s eyes scanned the room and immediately spotted Jackie standing in the corner with his mother.

“You see him yet?” Judy asked, handing over the cocktail she’d acquired to V. V nodded and pointed them out. “Good, let’s go.” Judy headed over first with V following slowly behind her.

“Judy, hello my dear girl. How are you?” Mama Welles asked warmly when Judy approached. She smiled at Mama Welles and returned the hug. “Are you a rabbit? What a cute costume,” she said and Judy grinned.

“I’m actually wearing a matching costume. V’s right behind me,” Judy said, jerking her thumb over her shoulder. Mama Welles looked over her shoulder and barely stopped the chuckle from escaping as she saw V’s costume. She cast a glance towards her son and knew the second he spotted his girlfriend.

“Will you show me to the bar? I’m awfully thirsty,” Mama Welles asked Judy. Judy saw how still Jackie went and grinned.

“Sure thing Mama Welles. I can see you’re not the only thirsty one here.” Judy held out her arm for Mama Welles and off they went to the bar. Veronique waved as they passed, grinning broadly at Mama Welles.

“You are evil to that poor boy V.” Veronique just laughed as Mama Welles patted her arm. “He needs you to keep him humble.” With that, V turned towards her boyfriend. She sauntered over to him, making sure the dress parted just right when she moved. Veronique paused when her heels bumped against his boots, letting her hands trail up his jacket tugging at his collar before falling away.

“Enjoying the party?” V asked amused as Jackie’s eyes dipped down. Judy had sprinkled a dash of body glitter to her cleavage to make her tits even more noticeable. She leaned in until they brushed the front of his favorite jacket.

“Dios, V what are you wearing?” Jackie whispered hoarsely. He was sure all the blood had left his brain and he was scrambling for words.

“Hmm? What am I wearing?” V turned in the dress and his mouth went dry at the way the red sequined fabric clung to her like a second skin. Her ass was loving hugged and her breasts… Jackie would die a happy man knowing he got to see her in this outfit. “I’m Jessica Rabbit.” His knuckles grazed the neckline of the dress, swallowing nervously when her nipples beaded.

“And I get to be Roger Rabbit?” Jackie asked, leaning in. To his surprise she took a step back with a cheeky grin.

“That position has already been taken tonight good sir.” She made sure to thicken up her twang, she knew how that drove him wild. “I’d best go find my wife for the evening.”

“Wait, V. You’re serious?” Jackie asked, clamoring to keep her by his side. V’s eyes twinkled with mischief. He knew he was cooked now.

“Well, I did ask you if you wanted to have a couple’s costume with me Jackie.” V grinned as he groaned and mumbled something in his native tongue. “Well, yes. You are a horse’s ass for not listening to me.” She kissed his cheek before melting into the crowd. V was proud of the bright red lipstick print on his cheek; she hoped he wouldn’t notice for a while.

For the rest of the night, V kept giving Jackie the slip when he’d get too close. Judy and Mama Welles were enjoying watching V lead him on a chase. “I’d almost feel sorry for my son, but I told him to go with V to this party. He insisted on taking his mama, and now he pays for it.”

“I know what you mean. When V told me her plan, I couldn’t help but want to be on board for it. I wish Jackie all the luck in the world.” Judy chuckled as V slipped past the moxx whispering something to them. “Looks like the game is ended. Come on Mama Welles, I’ll show you my set up downstairs.”

“That would be lovely Judy.”

Private Room

V grinned as she lounged on the soft cushioned couch that took up most of the room. Veronique took the wig off and sighed as her scalp tingled. Her hair fell to her shoulders, as blue as the sky above Night City at noon. She waited patiently and wasn’t disappointed when Jackie showed up a few moments later. “Hello Jackie.”

Jackie paused in the doorway to take in the image in front of him. V, lounging in that killer dress, legs crossed and exposed as the dress fell away from them, her hair falling down her shoulders. He swallowed as his dick twitched in his pants. He quickly shut the door behind him before anyone else could see her like this. He knelt in front of her, running his hands along her legs, groaning at how easily they parted for him. Only for him. He’d seen V clock one guy for trying to grab her ass. Only he was allowed this close, and it humbled him at times. To be the only one she trusted this much.

“I’m sorry, mi vida.” Jackie leaned forward to rest his chin against her breasts grinning unabashedly at her.

“Sure you are,” she retorted with the same mischief in her eyes. “Maybe you can show me just how sorry you are?” Jackie froze at her words, his fingers digging into her hips at the images that flashed through his mind.

“Yes ma’am,” he murmured leaning in. V’s head fell back against the couch cushion when his tongue flattened against her clit through the fabric. Her fingers tangled in his hair at the heat spiraling through her. Whimpers and soft moans spilled out of her with each slow stroke of his tongue against her. Her lips parted on his name slowly shifting into a rapid litany as her back bowed. The heat consumed her mind and she scrambled for that climax.

“Jackie.” She switched between English and creole as he drove her higher and higher. Her body coiled tight, ready to burst. His fingers pushed inside her body and curled just right. Veronique cried out his name as it snapped inside of her. He groaned against her clit as her body squeezed his fingers with each pulse of heat inside of her. Jackie eased back when her thighs went slack around his head and shoulders.

They both looked over his shoulder at the raucous laughter spilling in from the party. V wanted to flush in embarrassment, but all she could think of was getting Jackie’s cock inside of her. Jackie slowly stood and plopped down next to V, and she wasted no time. His hands grabbed her hips to stop her from grinding on him. “V. Don’t. I didn’t.”

Veronique grabbed up her small clutch and pulled out the foil square. “But I did.” He was stunned but V didn’t waste any time. Her fingers had his pants falling open and his cock in her hand. He didn’t know when she’d pulled off her gloves but he was thankful to feel her warmth against his. His head fell back with each slow stroke and squeeze. V knew exactly how to tease and torment him. V grinned and rolled the condom on easily and he gave her a look. “What? You can’t complain.” She pressed her lips to his before sinking slowly down onto his cock. She moaned at the stretch of him inside of her. She always felt so full when he fucked her. She also knew how much he hated it when she went slow, which was exactly what she did.

Jackie’s hands squeezed her hips urging her to go faster silently. V merely nibbled at his jaw, maintaining the gentle rocking of her hips against his. He clenched his jaw before flipping them. V gasped when her back hit the cushions.

“My turn chica.” V’s back bowed as he hit deep inside of her. His hips moved against hers in a brutal pace that had her toes curling in pleasure. He made sure to drag against her clit with each thrust, sending her closer and closer to another orgasm. Needy moans spilled from her lips with each thrust against her. Jackie captured her lips to taste them on her lips. His hips stuttered and V knew he was close.

“Please Jackie,” she whispered against his lips. His forehead dropped to her shoulder as he shuddered over her. Veronique squeezed his hips with her thighs as she felt his cock twitching inside. “Hmm.” Her lips brushed over his cheek.

“So, did I earn your forgiveness?” Jackie asked hoarsely. He didn’t want to pull away yet, he loved staying this close to her. He felt connected to her in so many ways, and he’d never want to give that up.

“I think you maybe did. You can spend the night at my place and we can talk more about forgiveness after.” V grinned as Jackie laughed against her shoulder.

“Alright chica. I think I’d like that.”

Review: Disney Continues The Hot Streak With 'Zootopia'

Synopsis: In a city of anthropomorphic animals, a fugitive con artist fox and a rookie bunny cop must work together to uncover a conspiracy. (Imdb) Over the last couple of years we've been treated to some really good animated movies such as Up, Frozen, Big Hero 6, Inside Out and now with Zootopia. The selling point is already build it--furry animals. What kid, or for that matter adult, wouldn't want to see a movie with cute, furry animals. What makes Zootopia a hit is that these animals are given distinctive personalities and backstories and placed into a visually alluring futuristic-looking animal paradise. Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) is a bunny that is an overly ambitious rabbit who wants to make a change, defy the odds, and become the first bunny to be a cop. Good luck. Hopps (fitting cutesy name) finally gets her chance in Zootopia. There just has to be something that gets in the way of her new dream career, and that thing is Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman). Wild (another fitting cutesy name) is a wildly sly fox. Ok, I'll just stop with the puns. Hopps being the determined bunny she is (with an apparent Napoleon complex), gets wind of Wild's hustler business and attempts to bring him to Zootopian justice. A case of a missing otter forces Hopps to enlist Wilde to help her with the search. THE GOOD: Zootopia is a really fun and engaging movie. There is a plethora of animals, all with some human characteristics, yet have the cute appeal. In Zootopia everyone comes together from all walks of animal life. It's the NYC-LA with a touch of Dubai and Siberia. Point being that it's an elaborate magical looking world. When Hopps sets out to move to Zootopia on one of those jet fast electric trains, she passes through all sorts of regions and climates. She goes through a desert, a place resembling Antarctica, a rainforest, and then ends up at the combination of all those places--Zootopia. The characters have a personality that's distinguishable. As mentioned Hopps is a go-getter, eager, perfectionist try-hard. Wilde is the scheming, charismatic, arrogant, and sly. He's also a character you can't fully dislike, he's likable douchy fox. Other characters that make notable appearances are Gazelle (Shakira) the iconic Zootopian Shakira. Chief Bogo (Idres Elba) is the bullish police chief. The best use of character should go to the sloth Flash (Raymond S. Persi) who steals the movie with his lightning--slow checkout at the DMV. Probably the funnies scene of the movie, though previews have given it away. The animals are all size-appropriate which is important to have distinguished. Hopps is tiny compared to all her animal counterparts, yet she looks like a giant when she visits the mouse town. Each animal has a city section for their kind. THE BAD: This is a hard movie to find negatives on. If I were to nitpick I'd say that it would be the highly predictable relationship outcome between Hopps and Wilde. I mean who doesn't see that coming? The plot has a lot of mystery to it. The search for Mr. Otterton is an elaborate scramble filled with twists and turns, the only reason why this could be a negative is that the smaller kids might not be able to keep up and follow, or be interested in following this clever cat and-mouse chase that Hopps and Wilde are on. OVERALL: There is no denying that Zootopia should be a hit. It has all the elements you'd want in an animated movie. Fun and colorful characters with big personalities and some depth. The visuals are uniquely exhilarating. It's a fantasy world I'd want to visit. I liked the fact that the filmmakers fine tuned all sorts of details like signs that say "Just Zoo It" or "Preyda" instead of Prada. That's a clever touch to a film that enhances the reality of their world, yet provides us with a chuckle. This is the kinda film where the adults might appreciate the nuances and enjoy the movie just as much if not more than the kids. That continues the trend of recent years of having animated movies appealing to adults and kids. Zootopia is funny and timely, you can't go wrong with animals, it's a formula that works, but Disney takes it to another level. As an avid rabbit (I have a pet rabbit named BUNNY) and animal lover, this was an easy sell from the start, but ended up impressing me twice as much. Rating: PG Runtime: 1hr 48min Release Date: Friday March 4, 2016. For more movie news follow me on Twitter @JimRko Read the full article

Halloween's Scary (Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps x Child! Reader)

Request: Can you do Nick x Judy and Child!Reader where they celebrate Halloween together, and they go Trick or Treating

Nick Wilde loved Halloween. Growing up, it had been the one time of year where he'd been able to be someone other than himself. As a fox who was barely trusted by anyone, being someone else, even for one day was heavenly.

Judy Hopps also loved Halloween. When she was little, it was a chance to show the world what she wanted to be. Who she wanted to be. Every year, she would get dressed up in her fake police uniform. Every year she would listen to people coo over how cute the idea of a bunny cop was. She remembered telling herself that she was going to show them.

Little (Y/n), however, hated Halloween. It was their least favourite day of the year. All the scary costumes weren't worth the amount of candy they got. At their old house, it had been an excuse for all the bigger kids to scare the younger ones. (Y/n) usually got the brunt because of how scared they would get.

Now though, they lived in the Hopps-WIlde household with their new adopted parents and they were determined not to be sent back to their foster home in any way possible, even if it meant dressing up in a costume and going trick or treating.

Besides, they wouldn’t have to worry about big kids this year… They hoped.

“Hey! You look good!” Nick stepped into the room, he and Judy had decided to match this year; a cowboy and a cowgirl. HIs hat was tilted awkwardly on his head, he��d probably forgotten it was even there.

The costume he was referring to, however, wasn’t his own. This was their first Halloween with their child and they had the best costume by far.

“I feel stupid. I should’ve just been a horse like Judy suggested,” (Y/n)’s face heated up as they stared at themselves in the mirror. Nick placed his paw on their shoulder, smiling slightly.

He waved his paw. “Nah, horses are overrated. I like your dinosaur costume! It suits you. You’re going to be the coolest trick or treater out there!”

They highly doubted that but they didn’t want to argue with Nick. He could be very persuasive when he wanted to be. The two of them made some last minute adjustments to their costumes and walked out to meet Judy in the main room, she eagerly swung her arm when she saw them.

“Yeehaw! There’s my favourite people!” Her faux cowgirl voice was awful and (Y/n) was suddenly reconsidering this whole night.

Most of the night was spent trick or treating, the small family of three went to a lot of houses. Nick even drove them a little ways out of Zootopia to go to some of the bigger houses. Bigger houses meant bigger candy, (Y/n) learned. By the end of the night, they were actually pleasantly enjoying themselves.

Maybe Halloween wasn’t all that bad…

“Oh, look who it is!” Just when things were starting to go right, (Y/n) felt their insides sink. Nick and Judy had already moved onto the next house, they were keeping up a steady pace ahead, glancing back every now and then to make sure their kid was alright. They were having a blast looking at all the decorations.

“Leave me alone,” (Y/n) snapped, moving to stomp out of the way.

Before they could though, the wind was knocked out of them as one of the older kids kicked them and grabbed their candy.

The whole situation was nauseating. Having their entire night ripped out from under them was too much, especially since they were pleasantly surprised that Halloween with Nick and Judy was fun.

Before they could do anything though, they were scooped up into somebody’s arms.

“I believe that candy is (Y/n)’s, I suggest you hand it over…” Judy’s voice faded as Nick carried the small child back to the car.

“You okay, bug?” The fox hugged you tightly. “Maybe we better spend the rest of the night in. Movies and candy sounds good, doesn’t it?”

It was almost as if he read their mind, (Y/n) nodded excitedly as Judy came back triumphantly holding the candy. They climbed into the car and headed off.

So yeah, maybe they still didn’t prefer Halloween but maybe it wasn’t as bad as they’d initially thought. There’d be many more with their new family to warm up to it anyway.

Zootopia (2017), discrimination, and beyond

The 2017 Oscar award animated feature film winner Zootopia by the three directors Jared Bush, Byron Howard and Rich Moore made its debut in 2016 and soon became one of the best movies Disney has ever produced. Funny, meaningful, excellent are some of the adjectives you can use to describe how amazing this movie is. Through Judy Hopps’s journey to prove herself and make positive changes to the society, Zootopia has really given us a broader view about racial discriminations and prejudices.

The movie introduces its viewer to a fictional city named Zootopia, Zootopia is known to be a very colorful and highly-modern city where every animal from small to big, prey and predators all live peacefully together with the slogan: “Anyone can be anything in Zootopia”. Zootopia is a city of dreams and hope for people like Judy, some people might refer to this city as New York. At the time, the city is also making changes for weaker and smaller animals, like how a sheep like Bellwether can be a mayor assistant or like how Judy became the first bunny cop of the city, to provide equalities for people living there. But is Zootopia that dream of a city? Is it really that perfect? Well, things are not that easy, we need to actually live in the city to understand the society there and our bunny cop soonly realizes that Zootopia is not as she imagined. Inside its glamorous cover, Zootopia is still covered in discriminations and prejudices.

As a kid, seeing her friends get bullied by bigger animals, Judy has always wanted to be a cop to stand up for her people and make society a better place. Judy represents the weak and small animals, who are treated with prejudices and contempt. During her time at the police academy, Judy always finishes last in every activity and the coach has always underestimated her, wanting her to quit but later she found her own way to pass tests and graduated. Her difficulties didn't end there, on her first day at the ZPD, she was so excited to get assigned her first case but Chief Bogo only assigned her the boringest job. But she still tries to finish her job as well as possible and never stop proving herself to Chief Bogo. At the end Judy still accomplished her goals in some way when she became the first bunny cop and changed the view of people around her about other animals like how she made her parents open their mind to see other people and work with Gideon the fox who’s now a kind pastry chef making pies.

Not just small animals like Judy, Zootopia also underestimates and discriminates against animals with a background of bad reputation and Nick represents this group of animals. For the longest time, foxes have always been seen as mischievous, shifty, untrustworthy, and ready to cause troubles for other animals or even betraying people around them. Because of these prejudices, a fox like Nick has to suffer through discriminations and inequalities from his friends since his childhood. For example, the elephant selling popsicles and even Chief Bogo wouldn’t believe him even when he informs them of the violent panthers. Even Judy, despite being his friend, stays vigilant around Nick with her fox spray, which saddens him greatly when he finds out.

Through the two main characters Nick and Judy and those prejudices that the society attached them to, we can link them to the society that we’re living in now. In our real life, there are various stereotypes about black people and asians or any other groups of people in the world. For example, people see black people as poor, smokes all the time and usually more athletic. For Asians, they are seen as nerdy, good at math or dog eaters. Like the prejudices for animals in the movie, some of these prejudices are not true and people shouldn’t stereotype other people just for their looks or the race they come from. Zootopia is very meaningful and it can really teach children about prejudices associated to humans.

Overall, although they come from different places, Nick and Judy still share the same similarity as they are people who carry prejudices from society. Zootopia did a really good job of showing the difficulties of people with prejudices and how it changes their lives to worse. Not just Nick and Judy, Mayor Bellwether is also one of the victims of this discriminations oppression leading her to do bad things to the city. I believe that schools not just in America but in other parts of the world should include Zootopia to their curriculum to teach kids. It's an easy and fun way for kids to learn about prejudices and discriminations.

Between the Odds

Part Seventeen: The Protest

(TW: violence, blood, etc)

Love was in the air. Smiles donned on many faces. The day of the protest finally arrived, and several mammals showed up with homemade signs and banners. It wasn't the first protest against the inter-species law, but hopefully this time the couples would be heard by some kind soul out there. The crowd gathered in one area in Savannah Central, which caught the attention of some passing mammals, but not for long enough.

Judy and Nick made it just in time, and luckily it seemed no trouble was caused yet. Then again, it was supposed to be peaceful, so they weren't expecting anything bad to happen. But as part of their cover, they had to make sure that nothing would.

However, the sight of two police officers approaching did worry a few of the other protesters. They weren't doing anything wrong, but they were still wary of their presence. But before anyone could freak out, a leopard made her way over to the two cops to see what they wanted.

"Excuse me, officers, is there something wrong?" She asked, rather politely. They assumed she was the leader of the protest, judging just by the fact that she was the one who came to talk to them, and wasn't as nervous as the others seemed to be.

"No, not at all." Judy said, which eased some nerves. "You're not in trouble. We're just here to make sure everyone stays safe."

The leopard grinned with delight, her tail curving up slightly. "Well, that's very kind of you. But I'm not worried, we have it all under control." She gestured to her friends, who were watching them from a distance. "But while you're here, you're more than welcome to join us in our protest. We have a few spare signs if you'd like one! Or you can just walk with us, whatever you're comfortable with!"

Judy and Nick shared a glance, interlocking their paws. "Thanks, I think we'll just be walking today." Nick answered. It would probably be best if they didn't display a sign protesting one of the laws that they were supposed to enforce.

The leopard took notice to their paws, and quickly caught on to the real reason why they were here. A bunny and a fox, that was definitely a first. She smiled and nodded in understanding, "Alright. Well, I'm Jenna. Let me know if you need anything." She introduced herself, shaking each of their paws. "And thank you for coming. We appreciate it."

As she walked away, Judy couldn't help but feel relieved. The mammals here seemed so sweet and supportive of each other. It was like she and Nick actually belonged here, where their love could be celebrated, not belittled. She sighed and leaned against him, squeezing his paw. "Isn't it nice we can act like this in public?"

Nick smirked at her, leaving a quick kiss on top of her head. "Maybe one day we could act like this all the time." He said with a hint of hope. He hadn't given up on the thought of marrying her someday, and no matter how today went, he never would.

Judy giggled, instinctively blushing at his kiss. That was probably the first time he did that in front of other mammals, for anybody to see. And neither of them were afraid, they barely gave it a second thought. "If this goes well." She said, then began to lead him toward the crowd so they could 'watch over' the protest.

Seeing the other inter-species couples filled their hearts with joy. They usually didn't see many couples like this, probably for the same reason no one ever saw them act like boyfriend and girlfriend in public. They even saw the pig and the jaguar from a few months ago, proudly holding up signs and linking arms.

Jenna and her friends led the crowd through the streets of Savannah Central, shouting for the injustice they've experience all these years, catching many other mammals' attentions from afar. No one appeared too bothered by it. In fact, their protest attracted many others to join in and follow. For the first time in forever, these couples were allowed to express their love and affection around other eyes, and they didn't have to fear judgement from anyone.

Nick and Judy blended in with the crowds fairly easily, although they were still acknowledged as police officers just showing their support. But some mammals could see them holding paws if they looked at them closer. It was probably a jeopardy to their reputation to display affection like this, but in the moment they didn't give a damn. Surrounded by other couples just like them, they were too excited not to get carried away.

Eventually the protesters stopped in one of the busiest streets, where they were sure to gain more consolation, where they were definitely going to be noticed. Judy and Nick remained at the sidelines, observing the crowd carefully to ensure everyone's safety. Even if it was just their cover story, it was still their job to protect everyone.

Several of the leaders spoke through megaphones, demanding for change, preaching justice and equality for all couples everywhere. "Marriage is a right, not a privilege!" Jenna spoke proudly, earning some cheers of agreement. "Every mammal deserves to marry who they love, no matter what they are! Don't withhold our right to marriage! We are more than our species!"

Judy smiled in admiration of the leopard and the other leaders boldly stating their opinions on the matter. Somehow they were expressing exactly how she felt, saying all the words she never had the courage to say herself. And seeing so many other mammals agree made her feel even better. Perhaps there was hope for change after all.

"Breeders!"

Her ears twitched all of the sudden, hearing a certain word that never failed to make her uncomfortable beyond description. She glanced around the area to see who said that, but there was no one in the gathering that appeared to have shouted anything like that. Maybe it was just a jackass walking by, who was not much of a threat. So she chose to ignore it and continued watching the protest.

Up until she heard it yet again, and this time Nick heard it, too. They both exchanged a concerned look, now worried for theirs and everyone else's sake. If there was someone trying to fight against the protest, then it wouldn't end well.

"Breeders! You're going to hell!" The voice yelled even louder, and was now noticed by several other mammals as well. They spotted a porcupine standing on the other side of the streets, throwing an empty beer bottle in their direction. "You're all sick!"

"Yeah, burn in hell!" Another man joined in, gesturing his middle finger at the crowd.

However, the leaders pretended as if they didn't hear a thing. It was their job to keep this peaceful, they couldn't let their anger or annoyance get the best of them. They continued their speech and their chants, which only further angered the two men who were in complete disgust at what they were seeing. Judy thought she should do something about the two, but they were still not causing enough trouble for her to get involved.

Several other angry mammals joined the men in repeating slurs and vulgar exclaims toward the protest. It would've been easy to ignore just a passerby or two, but now the number of those against inter-species couples was starting to multiply. Tensions were quickly rising, especially when one of the men decided to get physical and grabbed one protester by their shirt, throwing them on the ground.

Now a bigger scene was caused. While the leaders tried to keep the peace and proceeded with their words, the crowd was growing restless. Many other mammals ran toward each other with harmful intentions, creating several fights in the middle of the street.

Now Judy had no choice but to break this up. Without thinking, she rushed over to a pair of mammals throwing fists at each other, not realizing she had left Nick's side.

She stepped between them, trying to keep them away from one another. But no matter how much she yelled at them to calm down, they were too focused on their own argument to even notice. "Breeders don't deserve to get married!" One of them exclaimed, "You all deserve to die!"

"Hey, that's enough!" Judy scowled, but was ultimately unheard.

Eventually Nick looked at his side, only to find that his girlfriend wasn't with him. "Carrots?" He asked, taking a look around to try to spot her. But considering how large the crowd was, on top of all the chaos occurring around him, it wasn't going to be easy to find her. "Carrots?!"

Unfortunately he couldn't drop everything to go look for her. There were poor citizens being harassed that needed his help. He sighed, reluctantly running out toward the crowd to try to break up some of the fights. Maybe he would see Judy in plain sight, hopefully unharmed. But he had a terrible feeling that wouldn't be the case.

The word "breeders" was restated over and over. That seemed to be the only word that could be made out from all the yelling and crying. It echoed in Judy's ears like an irritating ringing noise she couldn't shake away. How could this have gone so wrong so quickly? What did she and all these other couples do to deserve this much hatred?

Police sirens blared in the distance, much to Judy's surprise and relief. Nick must've called for backup. She thought to herself, managing to avoid being trampled by the bigger animals around her. But then her calm emotions faded yet again when she realized, Oh no..Nick!

She turned around, not seeing a fox in sight. She couldn't believe she actually left him behind, she broke her promise. Now he was who knows where, probably hurt or worse. "Nick?" She called out, although it was pointless, since she could barely be heard over the sounds of hell around her. But she had to try. "Nick?!"

As more police officers arrived at the scene to break up the fights and arrest the violent mammals, Judy pushed her way through the crowd, repeatedly calling for her partner, searching through the seemingly endless streets of Savannah Central. But no matter where she looked, no matter how loud she yelled, Nick was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly, everyone on the streets screamed and ducked to the ground as the unmistakable sound of a gunshot went off. Actually, it was several gunshots.

Many mammals began to flee, running for their damn lives, shrieking in terror. No one knew who fired the gun, but whoever it was had no mercy. A few of the protesters dropped to the ground, struck by the bullets, possibly dead because of it. Panic was rising. No one was safe. It didn't matter if they were for or against the inter-species laws, the shooter was going after everyone regardless.

Now Judy was desperate to find Nick, and fast. If he was shot by the gunman, if he died because of this failed protest, she would never forgive herself. "NICK!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, making a run for it, faster than anyone else on the street. "NICK?!"

By now the gathering had disbanded, and there were significantly less mammals around, presumably hiding or running back to their homes for safety. The other cops were searching everywhere for the shooter, but it was proving to be impossible. The gun only went off every few minutes, and every time it seemed they were only getting farther from him.

Judy took advantage of the increased space and desperately ran around each corner in hopes to find her boyfriend. She was slowly losing hope, and fear was overtaking her thoughts, making her assume the absolute worst. All she could think was that he was laying on a road, either dying or already dead. But she refused to believe it was true. She couldn't give up, not now.

However, just as it seemed to be a pointless search, Judy finally spotted a familiar fox when she turned the corner. Even with the dozens of other animals running around him, he was easy to recognize. "Nick!"

Nick's ears perked up as he turned around, a shocked smile appearing on his face. "Carrots!" He called out. "Thank God.."

The two immediately ran towards one another, both relieved to have found each other again. They never thought they could be so afraid by themselves, not knowing where the other was or if they were even alive. But at least now they knew they were okay, and they were going to make it out of this unharmed.

Or at least that's what they thought. Just as it seemed things were turning around for them, they heard yet another gunshot nearby. This time, the bullet was fired in their direction, somehow with the shooter still remaining unseen. Nick's reflexes kicked in and he ducked for cover, easily avoiding anything that would hurt him.

But Judy wasn't so lucky. Within seconds, a bullet punctured the back of her left shoulder, sending her right to the ground with an agonizing grunt.

When Nick lifted his head, his eyes widened with fear when he saw the bunny collapsed on the concrete. It didn't take long for him to realize she was shot. "No..." He whispered, frantically standing back up to dart over to her. "JUDY!"

As he knelt down at her side, he spoke into his radio to inform the other officers that she was hit and needed medical assistance immediately. Gently, he scooped her body into his arms and held her close, placing his paw over the bullet wound to prevent too much blood loss. She winced, taking deep and heavy breaths—not just to ease her pain, but to remain calm. Although truth be told, she never felt more afraid in her entire life.

Nick sensed her fear, so he pulled her head close to his chest so she would feel somewhat safer. "Shh, it's okay, Carrots, I got you. You're gonna be just fine." He said assuringly, for both their sakes. "An ambulance should be here any minute now, you just have to stay awake until then. I promise you're gonna be okay.”

Hearing that particular word "promise" didn't help Judy feel any more relaxed. If anything, it just reminded her that she broke her own promise earlier. Maybe if she hadn't, they wouldn't be in this situation right now, and she wouldn't be on the possible verge of death.

"Nick..I'm so sorry." She said weakly, closing her eyes so he wouldn't see her tears. "We never should've come here."

"Shh, don't say that. You don't have to apologize." He shook his head, tightening his grasp on her. Although when he did, he was unsettled by the amount of warm blood he felt on his paw from the open wound. "Just stay with me, Carrots."

Judy let out a quiet sob as she hid her face against his chest, listening for the sound of his heartbeat. But when she finally heard it, it only made her feel worse. Unlike when she usually listened to it for comfort when she felt anxious, this time it was fast and uneven. He was just as scared as she was, if not more.

Another minute passed before they both heard the sound of the sirens nearby. Nick picked her up and carried her toward the ambulance, where several medical technicians were preparing a stretcher. They strapped her in and carried her into the truck, allowing Nick to join her on the way to the hospital.

As the streets emptied and the gunman disappeared into thin air, nothing remained of what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. Nothing except broken signs, ripped posters, and puddles of blood on the ground.

The inter-species couples didn't need to be told to go to hell anymore; they were already there.

The Secret Search Party

Charles: You're all psychopaths just manipulating and killing people all the live long day!

Francis: So this week our journey takes us down the road of my magnificent self-recovery, and self-discovery, as I finally allow myself the revelation to admit that I simply hate working. I hate working, and I never want to work another day in my life. Wow, it feels really good to say that out loud. I HATE WORKING! I could shout it from the rooftops. I can’t even say it without smiling, it feels so good to finally admit that.

Francis: Honestly, this is mean, but she sounds like an idiot. That was like a conversation you have with someone in college.

Francis: Most of this stuff happened to us. You know, we didn't have any real agency at any given moment. We have to start taking more responsibility for how little responsibility we've actually had in our lives.

Richard: I've been finding out more stuff about myself, and it's like I DON'T LIKE IT.

Cop: You're acting pretty calm for a murderer.

Henry: I'm not a murderer.

Cop: You're acting pretty calm for someone wrongly accused of murder.

Henry: Ha.

Dory: It's a terrible thing, what we did. I mean, this man was not Voltaire we killed. But still. It’s a shame. I feel bad about it.

Marion's acapella group: Since you've been gone, Bunny, I can breathe for the first time.

Judy: I feel bad for Camilla sometimes. She grew up in a generation that was like “You have to be a man to get ahead.” Like bitch, just admit you like to shop.

Richard: Did you guys have sex in here?

Henry: No.

Richard: You don't have to lie to me, I know you had sex in here, I can feel it.

“Was it a surprise to learn that your friends were accused of murder?”

Bunny: I mean, it was an absolute shock to my system, like, swirled up in a larger shock of life changes. Like, not only was I balancing the news that my, uh, best friends were being accused of murder. I was realizing that I needed to become a CEO overnight, and I also took a quiz online that made me realize I'm probably bipolar. So, to answer your question, yes, I'm in pain. Judy: Detective Garcia--that's my character on Surviving Essex--she's a Latina, so she uses her hands a lot.

Richard: Sorry, you play a Latina?

Judy: Oh yeah, I'm ethnically ambiguous

Julian: Richard, how are you so good at doing the stuff no one else wants to do?

Charles: And we are gonna do anything for you.

Francis: As long as it's not financial.

Judy: Mathieu is so funny. I texted him "Why do you like soccer?" and then he just texted me pictures of his knee surgery.

Richard: You guys were kissing? I'm jealous, I think!

Henry: I need all of us to do our best to pretend we are good, normal, non-murdering people.

Richard: I'm not a murderer.

Henry: Exactly. Very good, Richard.

Bunny: Hey guys? I need to eat. My blood sugar levels are crashing.

Henry: I hate him so much.

Henry: I need you to imagine the worst thing possible.

Richard: OK.

Henry: It's worse than that.

Richard: I HAVE TO KNOW.

Judy: Women get scrutinized. Men get pasta.

Bunny: I just want to remind everyone that my passport is fake, in case that makes anyone uncomfortable.

Henry: You don't have your real passport with you?

Bunny: No, I left everything behind.

Henry: Bunny, that's a federal felony. "Margaret Wartime?" Why did you pick the name "Margaret Wartime?"

Camilla: Guys, none of us know "Margaret Wartime." He's a hitchhiker and we picked him up.

Francis: AND WE LET HIM HAVE THE FRONT SEAT?!

Francis: I read online that it takes years to get over killing someone, so the best we can do is just carry on.

Cop: We understand that you and Bunny had some, uh, tensions before her disappearance.

Henry:: Mm.

Cop: Is that something you feel comfortable elaborating on?

Henry: Well... [Scoffs] Why don't you try living with a deadbeat who leaves bowls of cereal on the ground so that the living room turns into a god damn milk minefield? Henry: And then Bunny said he was going somewhere tropical. We actually got alone. He’s cool.

Charles: It’s so crazy how that happened even though, as you said to the press, Henry, we had absolutely nothing to do with Bunny’s death.

Henry: I just wanted to start by saying that it seems like somewhere down the road, there's been some sort of misunderstanding.

Charles: Yeah. It appears to us that it is your opinion that we did something that we just didn't do. And after putting together the implications of your threats to Henry, Bunny, do you think we killed someone?

Bunny: Are you guys saying you didn't kill a man in cold blood?

All: No!

Francis: Why would we?

Camilla: That's so weird.

Bunny: Oh, my God. You guys, I'm so sorry. This makes me look so crazy. You should've just called and told me that. I wouldn't have had us all meet here so early in the day.

Camilla: This is so fun, April! I'm so glad we got to catch up with you, but I think we're done, so maybe we should just leave, you guys.

Bunny: Yeah. Totally. Yeah.

Camilla: But it was so good to see you.

Bunny: Or did you guys have to meet me here because you killed a farmer?

Henry: Okay. So that's, I think, where the misunderstanding lies, because -- -

Bunny: No. It's not a misunderstanding when you overhear your friends screaming, "We killed a man, and now he's dead!"

Henry: Shh!

Bunny: "He's dead! He's dead!"

Charles: Oh, my God! That was my play. Bunny, I wrote a play, and we were doing a reading of it. Did you like it, Bunny? I hope you --

Bunny: Shut up, Charles. I know this wasn't a play. I'm not stupid.

Charles: Why are you doing this to us?

Bunny: Because I don't like the way you guys carry yourselves. [pause] And I don't think you should kill people.

ZOOTOPIAN SONIC THE HEDGEHOG BRAINSTORM TIME DAY 3

CHARACTERS AND CHARACTER ROLES

The Heroes Concept

Sorry for delay but I finally showing topic that what character would fit into character and how their roles would look like (I explain in here)

As an example let’s start with main cast:

Sonic as Sonic - since he’s the main character of the story there’s no need to change his character role since those are key-important for the plot like in movie

(here’s his profile just in case: https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(Paramount)#Cast_)

The only in his case would be the change of place and comunity: he’s in world of anthromophic mammals with no powers and certain prejudices and stereotypes, and sometimes certain paranoias, which that makes his anxietes harder since he is also a mammal/hedgehog but still different: blue, prefers shoes, glowes instead of clothes and has powers. And it could be possibility that when he arrived on Zootopia (not sure how if their planet is called Earth or not) the missing mammal case was happening and distrust towards mammals was growing, give him reason to not show up after what happened last time. There could be also small possibility he helped stopped the Bellwether takeover although unknowingly (or maybe not? who knows) and some two pair of eyes probably might noticed him even briefly though if you know what I mean. But for the record he decided to hide in Green Hills where he meet Nick and Judy and you know the rest.

Nick Wilde as Tom Wachowski

Tom personality

Kind-hearted and hard-working, Tom actively pursues the chance to help other people and is dedicated to his duty as Green Hills’s sheriff. He is very brave and is not afraid to get physical if the need arises and is protective of those he cares about. Despite his sharp tongue and an occasionally dark sense of humor, he is very sweet and gentle and frequently goes out of his way to assist others. Tom enjoys telling corny jokes, whether he is alone or with company. According to Sonic, Tom often talks with donuts and eats them if they “do not listen him”.

He dislikes boredom to the point that Green Hills’ lack of action nearly drives him out of his hometown to pursue work in San Fransisco. Tom shows open skepticism when presented with a situation that seems odd or fabricated, such as when he first met Dr. Robotnik. Although Tom is not afraid to fight, he prefers to avoid resorting to violence, shown when he tried to leave the Piston Pit when confronted by angry bar patrons.

Nick personality

https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Nick_Wilde

Since those two are pretty much different when it comes certain things but have still lot in common like bad pun jokes and sense for justice.

It was not easy to make it right. I wanted him fit into Tom’s role but also keep his Wilde charm he has. Thankfully I was able to do right somehow so here it is:

Nick was actually born in Green Hills and was friend with Judy Hopps in childhood after incident with Gideon, but after incident with Ranger Scouts where she was present in this case ashamed for certain actions he decided to move (or run away) to Zootopia to live as shifty fox, unaware of him been targeted by Bellwether. But Judy whose also decided to study in Zootopia find and trying to make up to him and bring him back to Green Hills. After studying, while dating, they return to Green Hills get married and Nick follows footstep to became sheriff be a better person (unaware of him also been followed by small certain blue guardian: take a hint of what I mean by it). After hearing of Bellwether case he wants to try be a cop in Zootopia to find a purpose (instead just leave Green Hills out of boredoom he wants to prove himself be better). He sympatize with Sonic more since he knows what is like to feared of what you are and been haunted by a past. I still need to work on that.

Judy Hopps as Maddie Wachowski

Maddie Personality

As a veterinarian, Maddie cares deeply about living creatures and enjoys helping them to heal. She scolds Tom not to shoot the raccoons that get into their trash with her dart gun and gets annoyed with him when she finds out he shot Sonic with it. She also shows sympathy for Sonic when she sees that his feet hurt because he wore through his sneakers. She works well under-pressure and shows emotional and intellectual maturity. She is very loving and supportive of her husband. She made him a cake to congratulate him in case he got the job he wanted in San Francisco and another cake in case he did not get it. She also tells him that since he has made sacrifices for her, she is happy to sacrifice for him.

Judy Personality

https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Judy_Hopps

They sure have more in common aside for job. She cares for her husband since childhood despite of what happened, she even go after him to make up to him, save him from wrong path and ask for forgiveness, since she feels responsible for it, even though none of both was fault. She was born in Bunnyburrow but always visited her relatives from mothers side in Green Hills where she also first met Nick (inspired by my life, I really love to visit my relatives) She wanted to be cop but could not, but also found a passion in medicine and that is why she became vet after she moved in Green Hills with Nick (those two make a really great team, also it is nice callback from concept of Zistopia where Nick pretented to be vet). She also shows connection with Sonic and in this case has less problems with his “nudity” considering she always has to check her patients without clothes. (trust me I know what I talking about)

Again still need to work on that. I hope you help me grinding with this. For now that is all but I promise there will be more. Also think you can pictures on those description since I dont know how to do that along with your opinions? (you can use my drawing for that if you want ;-D)

And also:

HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY ZOOTOPIA

...

Hi Guest! I’m so sorry for taking forever to get back to you on this. Hope you had a great 5th Zootopia Anniversary! I watched the movie again that day and even after 5 years, I still love that movie!!! <3 <3 <3

But anyhoo, on to this lovely Sonic crossover!

When it comes to the setting, do you think Green Hills should actually be BunnyBurrow? Or do you want Green Hills to remain it’s own thing?

I guess I ask because the way Nick is being set up, he kind of reminds me of this one fic that Helthehatter wrote called, “Blueberries”, where it’s an alternate story of how Nick and Judy met. In that fic, Nick is a deputy in BunnyBurrow and his police partner is Finnick and Nick is pretty bored because not much happens in a small town like BunnyBurrow (that is until he meets Judy, who never became a cop before meeting him).

I picture Nick would be something like this where he and Judy weren’t the ones who solved the Bellwether and Nighthowlers case, but Jack and Skye. And he wants to have an exciting adventure like that and be a hero, do something important, but nothing ever happens in BunnyBurrow/Green Hills.

I could still see Judy being his partner on the force, but unlike him, she’s actually pretty content being a cop in a small town. Though, if you like the idea of her being a vet better for this then I could work with that ^^

Personality wise it shouldn’t be too hard to give the characters similar traits since they seem to have enough in common.

Would it be okay if Judy does at least try to get Sonic to wear some clothes, it still feels like something she would do, lol! ^^” But of course, in a nice understanding way rather than in a panicky manner.

When it comes to Sonic, rather than Nick just forming a sort of best friendship with him, maybe Sonic can kind of look up to him and Judy like parents? I mean, Sonic is still a teenager and Nick and Judy are full grown adults. That way at the end, he really is joining a new family. :)

I think I like the idea of this Nick having been born in Green Hills/Bunny Burrow rather than Zootopia, because that makes his desire for a new and bigger setting more important. If he grew up in Zootopia, left it, then wants to go back to it, then it kind of takes away that feeling of wanting more.

In regards to Sonic, maybe he decided to hide not just because he’s a blue hedgehog, bust also because he’s basically walking around naked and maybe when he first showed up he walked like that in front of some old ladies and he scared them. Ever since then he decided to observe the animals from afar. It’d be a good reason too why he had a disguise too. Here not to blend in as a human, but simply to cover himself up?

I say let’s just call the Zootopia world Earth. It’s easier ^^

Not sure yet, if Sonic should’ve had an active role in the nighthowler incident, but maybe he did manage to see the fear and chaos it caused in animals via Nick and Judy’s TV and by observing animals from afar. If he did decide to help solve it though, maybe he probably just helped Jack and Skye grab the concentrated pellet and handed it to them like a blue blurr and then with that evidence in their grasp, it proved enough to arrest Bellwether and they got the credit since nobody saw him.

This is all I got so far. Does this work for you? Is there more you’d like to add or change?

Last night I rewatched the Disney animated children’s film “Zootopia” (2016) at my regular it’s-a-pandemic-let’s-watch-cartoons-together-over-video-chat night. I love the world building (public transit for all! Accessibility for lots of different bodies!) and that Shakira song is a fucking bop. But. The politics of this film are an incoherent mess (it’s made by a giant American corporation, so not surprising) and I’m sure smarter people than me have written more eloquently about this before but I want to rant, so pull up a soapbox:

1) Fuck the cops. No more movies about people becoming cops to make the world a better place or whatever the fuck. No. Get thee behind, satan. My friend pointed out that this movie would probably not be made in 2021, because Disney would see it as too politically controversial to make a movie about the police. So that gives me some hope. But, basically: Fuck the police!

1.2) There is legitimately bad policing in this film (fabricating evidence to get around needing a search warrant, working with the mob to threaten suspects) and I *really* hate it. FTP

2) The movie is about, like, personal prejudice rather than systemic oppression, which is some weak sauce. But they haven’t thought through the power structures of this world. I’m here for complicationed fictional societies, with characters who have various interacting identies, and conversations about ways that they’re privileged and ways that they are marginalized and how it’s messy, but I don’t think that’s what’s happening in this film. At various points they position the predators, the prey, bunnies, sheep, and foxes, as the marginalized identities. I think they’re trying to say that the predators used to be the ruling class of this society but not anymore? But then all of the worst prejudice is against the predators? And that is not how it works. We don’t have lots of, like, prejudice against and shitty stereotypes about white, rich, able-bodied, land-holding, cis, straight men here in the US. No, our worst social prejudice is racist white fear of Black folks. This part of the worldbuilding is, at best, incoherent and at worst, actually harmful. Hopefully I’ve explained this properly, I’m not sure if I’m making sense right now.

3) In general the film seems to be full of Lean In nonsense. Judy, the main character, is going to be the first bunny to become a police officer through the force of her own will. She is convinced she will make the world a better place by being Really Good at what she does. And once there’s one bunny working there the problems will magically get fixed? I am exhausted on her behalf. I don’t... I just want stories that acknowledge how hard it is to be The First or The Only. About how systemic problems will not be solved by tokenism.

/rant. If you want to have a turn on this soapbox, please get up here.

#zootopia #fuck the police #ftp #critical analysis #systemic racism #tw police #I’m having a rant #about how bad the politics of a Disney property are #should not be surprised #but here we are #my soapbox #lean in is nonsense #tokenism doesn’t solve shit #once more for those in the back:#fuck the cops #the dragon mutters loudly

LUCY & BEDROCK! (TWIST! TWIST!)

Lucille Ball & “The Flintstones”

“The Flintstones” was TV’s first primetime animated sitcom. It was produced by Hannah-Barbara animation and ran on ABC TV from 1960 to 1966. Following the show's cancellation, a film called The Man Called Flintstone, a musical spy caper that parodied James Bond, was released that same year. The show was revived in the early 1970s and several different series and made-for-TV movies. The original show also was adapted into a live-action film in 1994, and a prequel, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, which followed in 2000.

Although not officially recognized by its creators, the show bears a very strong resemblance to TV’s “The Honeymooners”. Fred and Wilma Flintstone are reminiscent of Ralph and Alice Kramden, and they have best friends and neighbors Betty and Barney Rubble that are very similar to Ed and Trixie Norton. The original “Honeymooners” (1955-56) also was spun-off into future iterations, including musical episodes, just like “The Flintstones.”

Lucille Ball admired “Honeymooners” creator and Jackie Gleason and Gleason even played Ralph Kramden on “Here’s Lucy.” Ball also worked with the show’s other stars: Art Carney (in “Happy Anniversary and Goodbye” and “What Now Catherine Curtis”), Audrey Meadows (in “Mother of the Bride” on “Life With Lucy”) and even Jane Kean, who played Trixie in the color “Honeymooners” (who was seen on a 1966 episode of “The Lucy Show”).

Herb Vigran (Cop) was one of the busiest character actors in Hollywood. He played Jule, Ricky Ricardo’s music agent on two episodes of “I Love Lucy” in addition to playing movie publicist Hal Sparks in “Lucy is Envious” (ILL S3;23). He was seen in the Lucy-Desi film The Long, Long Trailer and six episodes of “The Lucy Show” - all as doctors!

Ginny Tyler (Daisy) voiced Clementine the sheep in “Lucy Buys a Sheep” (TLS S1;E5) and the bird voices in “Lucy Gets the Bird” (TLS S3;E12) and one episode of “Here’s Lucy.” She did the voice of the sheep in Disney’s 1964 hit Mary Poppins. Although she died in 2012, her voice can still be heard in the chorus of birds outside The Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Willard Waterman (Gus Gravel) was a versatile voice actor who appeared on hundreds of radio shows in the 1930s and 40s. He is probably best remembered for playing “The Great Gildersleeve” on both radio and TV. He was seen on “The Lucy Show” in “Lucy and The Plumber” (above) and “Lucy the Rain Goddess” (S4;E15).

Jerry Hausner (Clyde) was best remembered for playing Jerry, Ricky’s agent on “I Love Lucy” (including the pilot). He also did one appearance on “The Lucy Show.”

Sam Edwards (Agent) played the star-struck bellboy in “Lucy Meets the Queen” (ILL S5;E15). He was also the voice of the adult Thumper in Bambi (1942).

Sandra Gould (Various Voices) was best remembered as Gladys Kravitz on “Bewitched”. She made two appearances on “I Love Lucy” and one (above) on “The Lucy Show.”

Ann-Margret (Ann Margrock) was one of several celebrity guest stars to be honored with character on “The Flintstones”. She was also a guest star (as herself) on “Here’s Lucy” in 1970 and had appeared on Ann-Margret’s 1969 special.

Elizabeth Taylor (Pearl Slaghoople in The Flintstones live action film, 1994) was one of Hollywood’s most glamorous and popular stars when she guest starred with husband Richard Burton on “Here’s Lucy” in 1970. It is odd, then, that she was cast as Pearl Slaghoople, a character that was previously considered frumpy.

Paul Winchell (Umpire / Thief / Reporter in "Wind Up Wilma” - 1981) was best known as a ventriloquist, but he was also an accomplished character actor who appeared in two episodes of “The Lucy Show” and two of “Here’s Lucy.”

Arte Johnson (”Flintstone Kids” - 1989) was best known as a cast member on “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In”. He also did an episode of “Here’s Lucy” as an eccentric bird watcher.

George O’Hanlon (”Flintstone Kids” - 1989) was best remembered as the voice of George Jetson on “The Jetsons,” another hit Hanna-Barbera cartoon. On “I Love Lucy” he was one of two actors to play Charlie Appleby.

"I Love Lucy” and “The Flintstones”

First, Lucille Ball bears more than a passing physical resemblance to Wilma Flintstone. In “The Flintstones” it is clear that Fred is the leading character and most stories revolve around Fred and Barney, rather than Lucy and Ethel. The tried and true formula of a leading couple and the best friends / neighbors as the secondary characters is used in “I Love Lucy”, “The Honeymooners” and “The Flintstones”.

Here are a few more tangible connections:

The animated Lucy and Desi that opened pre-syndication airings of “I Love Lucy” were created by the Hanna-Barbera unit at MGM.

And both shows were sponsored by cigarette companies; “I Love Lucy” by Philip Morris and “The Flintstones” by Winston.

Wilma and Betty trying to sneak into the Water Buffalo convention in "Ladies Night at the Lodge" (1964) while disguised as men was very close to Lucy and Ethel disguising themselves as male reporters to infiltrate Ricky’s daddy shower in “Ricky Has Labor Pains” (1953).

The plot of “Operation Switchover” (1964) recycles the premise and many of the same plot elements of “Job Switching” (1952) especially with the domestic disasters on Ricky and Fred's end: scorched clothes while ironing, a fallen cake, and overflowing rice on the stove.

Like Lucy Ricardo, Wilma Flintstone’s pregnancy was incorporated into the storyline. It was originally thought that like Lucy, Wilma would have a boy, but merchandisers pointed out that there were more opportunities for products for girls, so Pebbles was born. Like Lucille Ball, Jean Vander Pyl (who voiced Wilma) was pregnant at the time of recording and gave birth to her son on the day "The Blessed Event" originally aired on February 22, 1963.

Fred and Barney undertake a rehearsal for the big moment, including Betty rehearsing telephoning the doctor, just like Ricky and the Mertz’s do for Lucy when ‘the time has come’.

Wilma seems to get cravings for unusual foods including hot fudge and sardines that Fred dutifully supplies, just like Ricky did for Lucy.

In the father’s waiting room, a man worries his wife might deliver more than one baby, just like Mr. Stanley (Charles Lane) on “I Love Lucy.”

In “Operation Switchover” a character named Hedda Rocker from Good Cavekeeping Magazine is obviously inspired by Hedda Hopper, the famous gossip columnist who appeared on two episodes of “I Love Lucy” as herself.

Arthur Murray, who’s innovate dance instruction method and dance studios became iconic, is parodied on “The Flintstones” as Arthur Quarry. In a 1965 episode, he was named Arthury Murrayrock.

In “Lucy Meets the Mustache” (LDCH S3;E3) Lucy wants to open a sealed letter so she tries a inserting a knitting needle under the flap, a method she says she saw in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. The scene is underscored with “Funeral March of a Marionette” by Charles Gounod, which served as the theme tune of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”. On “The Flintstones” he is parodied as Alvin Brickrock.

Hollyrock star Rock Quarry is a tribute to Rock Hudson, but talks like Gary Cooper. Hudson guest-starred on an episode of “I Love Lucy” set in Palm Springs. Previously, Lucy dressed as Gary Cooper (complete with his trademark ‘yup’) to fool near-sighted Caroline Appleby.

An episode titled “The Soft Touchables” is modeled after Desilu’s hit gangster series “The Untouchables.” “The Lucy Show” parodied their own show in an episode titled “Lucy The Gun Moll” (TLS S4;E25) in 1966 starring “The Untouchables Cast” but using different character names.

Wilma and Betty’s favorite television show “Peek-A-Boo Camera” catches Fred and Barney acting silly in a 1963 episode that is clearly modeled after TV’s “Candid Camera” created by Allen Funt. In 1971, “Lucy and the Candid Camera” (HL S4;E14) also featured Funt in hidden camera shot plot. Lucy Carmichael also get involved in a hidden camera television show in “Lucy and the Beauty Doctor” (TLS S3;E24). In that show, the program was called “The Boiling Point.”

The hit Broadway and movie musical movie My Fair Lady inspired many satires (some in name only) including “My Fair Freddy” (1966) and “My Fair Lucy” (TLS S3;E20) in 1965!

In “Fred Flintstone Woos Again” (1961) Wilma convinces Fred to renew their wedding vows after realizing the official who originally married them wasn’t fully licensed! On “I Love Lucy” Lucy realized that their wedding was also invalid when she found an error on their license. They go to the spot they first wed to renew their vows, just like “The Flintstones”.

In “Dial ‘S’ for Suspicion” (1962) Wilma's devotion to a murder mystery novel causes Fred to wonder if Wilma is trying to away with him. In “Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying To Do Away With Her” (ILL S1;E4) Lucy's devotion to a murder mystery novel causes her to wonder if Ricky is trying to do away with her!

When Wilma can’t keep up with the housework, she hires a maid in “Wilma the Maid” (1963). The same situation happened in the Ricardo home in “Lucy Hires a Maid” (ILL S2;E23). While the Flintstone’s maid is an earthy Italian woman named Rockabrigida, the Ricardo’s maid is a humorless woman named Mrs. Porter. Coincidentally, Mrs. Porter was played by Verna Felton, who voices Pearl Slaghoople on “The Flintstones”.

When superhero “Superstone” is hired for a birthday party but can’t make it - Fred takes his place. On “I Love Lucy” when Superman is promised for Little Ricky’s party, but can’t make it, Lucy takes his place - nearly!

In “How To Pick A Fight With Your Wife” (1966) spats between spouses escalate to such a degree that the couples split: Fred and Barney are thrown together as roommates, while Wilma and Betty are bunking together at the other house. In “Vacation from Marriage” (ILL S2;E6) much the same thing occurs between the Ricardos and the Mertzes!

The real comparison with Lucy and Desi is something Joe Barbera could have only hoped for in 1960 — enduring popularity. Lucy is still justifiably loved by hoards of fans and “I Love Lucy” is on the air somewhere. “The Flintstones” remains a part of the popular culture, 60 years after the show’s debut.

LiW week day 1 - Maria!

its not very long buuut i procrastinated and didn't start till like 1pm and got interrupted halfway through by my brother. I hope this is good and i can’t wait for the rest of the week!

@ladiesinwaitingweek

Words - 1099

There’s more than just Skeletons in a closet

The morning started normally for Maria, granted it was only 9 AM and only her and Bessie were even awake. It was like that most days since Maggie sleeps like a log and Joan sleeps with ambient music so noise doesn’t really ever wake her up. Maria was always the first to rise only followed by Bessie at most 30 minutes later.

The drummer went straight to the coffee machine while the bassist plopped herself on the sofa. “How’d you sleep B?”, the bassist turned so she could see the curly-haired women, “It was okay I guess, had a weird-ass dream though..”. The Spaniard took her warm mug of coffee and sat on the leather recliner to the left of the sofa, looking to her raven-haired friend curiosity for elaboration. The shorter woman took this as a cue to explain, “So it started as us getting ready for a matinee-” “Sounds pretty normal to me” “Wait it gets interesting..”, Bessie takes a moment to breathe and sit up straight. “So we were all in the dressing room getting our makeup on, but Joan was nowhere to be found”, the slightly taller woman raises an eyebrow but lets her continue. “So Maggie asks where she is but refers to her as blondie for some reason? Not even 5 seconds later the door bursts open and there stands Joan in a horribly made Mickey Mouse costume-”, Bessie is interrupted once again but it’s by Maria’s hysterical laughter, and soon a hiss of pain as she spills some of her coffee on her beige nightshirt. “Ah-shit”.“Bess can you run upstairs and get me a new shirt while I put this in the wash?”, Bessie stand up and gives a quick nod and started towards the staircase but stopped dead in her tracks. “Uhh where do you keep your tops?”, “In my closet on the left side, just get any old shirt, thanks by the way!”, and with that, the short women flew up the stairs.

Maria looked down at the stained shirt and set her mug down on the glass coffee table. The shirt wasn’t that special, just a normal nightshirt so the stain didn’t really matter much. Her skin on the other hand, kinda hurt like a bitch, like all burns. Luckily she doesn’t like her coffee practically on fire like her favorite caffeine-loving pianist, and it was just a little hot. She began to move her hands to the bottom of the wood-colored top but was stopped by a shout coming from her room, “Mars get up here!”.

Obviously slightly panicked by the shouting, the tanned woman flew up the staircase as if she had wings. She rushed into her own room, looking around for some sort of threat that would have gotten her daughter figure to call out to her, only to find the bassist with a shirt in hand, snickering. The shirt was black with white writing that says “Not your average bunny” with a cartoon anthropomorphic bunny wearing a police vest. Yep, it was a Zootopia shirt with the infamous bunny cop, Judy Hops on the front of it. Maria never shared what her favorite movie was, it was never really relevant, but it was totally Disney’s Zootopia. See the other Ladies in Waiting had normal favorite movies, all Disney for some reason. Maggie loved Treasure Planet and Bolt equally, Bessie enjoyed Peter Pan, but Maria once heard her watching Dumbo in the middle of the night, she sounded even like she was even...crying? Finally, Joan told everyone Hercules was her favorite, but the older woman once walked in on the girl watching High School Musical, even reciting the dialog word for word. Maria always told them she had no one movie she particularly loved, she said she liked them all the same, but that could not be a bigger lie. Maria loved Zootopia. She watched it once out of boredom while everyone else went out for a walk, and instantly loved the story, from the cute animals to the uplifting message of ‘Anyone can do anything’. She never told the others about it, she felt it was a bit more childish than the movies adored by others, like it was too weird for the ‘mother’ of the group to enjoy a movie with such a cheesy message.

Bringing herself back to the current moment, Maria dropped her shoulders in defeat. “Ohohoh my god Maria, is this... Is this from that Furry movie or something?”, Bessie couldn’t hold back her laughter after hearing herself say that and seeing the drummer’s face turn a new shade of red she hadn’t even seen before. “First of all!”, Maria began while swiftly moving forward to grab the shirt from the woman in front of her, “It’s NOT a ‘Furry Movie’, second of all, why can’t I enjoy a cute animal film huh?!”. Bessie took a moment to compose herself, wiping a tear from her eye and giving her best friend a sincere smile. “C’mon Mars you know I’m just teasing you, right? No one cares if you enjoy the movie or have the shirt, honestly? Its an adorable shirt and I bet it looks great on you, maybe we can watch it after we settle back down and clean your shirt yea?”, Maria’s frustrated expression softened to a more soft smile and looked at the black shirt in her hands. She looked at the shorter woman across from her and gave a look of gratitude, “Yea… yea I like that idea”, and with that, the dark-haired musician gave her companion a quick hug and moved towards the door but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder, “And Bessie?..thank you, just for everything honestly. Your one of the best people I know and I’m lucky to have you back, I’m glad I got a second chance..”. Maria could swear she saw Bessie’s tough exterior melt for a moment, her light eyes becoming glassy and teary but just for a moment, if Maria blinked she would have missed it. “Oh come on you sap lets go get you cleaned up and watch that movie”, the pair finally made it out of the room before Bessie continued, “And by the way, that little bunny must be the character you like most right? Maybe keychain or something with her on it might look cute, I bet I could find one on Amazon”. Maria just smiled brighter and could only manage a small nod, she couldn’t believe how lucky she was, just to have one more chance to make things better.

A new short story, as part of the WildeHopps Family AU, is now here for you to read (and hopefully enjoy)! Nick and Isabelle witness first-glance at one of their two newest members of the family, Jason's eyes opening for the first time. ^^

The illustration above has been drawn by @skeletonguys-and-ragdolls, with color and text by @androace-bunny (me! XD)

Isabelle Wilde courtesy of @trashasaurusrex

Jason (Jay-Tee) Wilde-Hopps belongs to me!

----------

It’s a lovely summer morning in the 5 year old Wilde-Hopps household. There lives a mother jackrabbit named Judy Hopps and a father fox named Nick Wilde, with currently three children, Isabelle, Robyn and Jason. Judy is very much the matriarch of the house, keeping everything in check and making sure the kids are safe and happy, while Nick would fill in her role every time she went out on duty as a police officer.

Nick is also a cop too, but takes time off for paternity leave, as he is actually more committed to being a nurturing stay-at-home parent than Judy would be. Not to say that Judy is not nurturing! Of course she is! It’s in the bunny’s blood (or “de-na”), after all! But she is also very committed to making Zootopia a safe and welcoming place for all mammals large and small to live! ^^

While Judy went out with baby Robyn (who had just gained her sight earlier than her twin brother Jason) to the supermarket, Nick takes baby Jason out of his crib, and brings the still blind-sighted kit down to a sofa to play with him.

4-going-on-5 year old Isabelle steps in to see her little hybrid brother smiling and enjoying a little quality time with his dad. “Hey Papa, how’s Jason doing?” Isabelle asks.

“He’s really happy right now. I’m making sure of that.” Nick replies as he tickles his little rabbit-fox hybrid son. “Can I join in too?” Isabelle asks again, and Nick says “Why not? He’s your little brother. Climb on in.”

Isabelle climbs up onto the sofa to get next to her dad and her newborn brother. She begins to have a lot of fun, playing with and holding her tiny half-fox half-bunny brother.

After a while though, Jason begins to struggle a bit, and suddenly, his eyes begin to open, revealing a pair of beautiful citron-colored eyes, much to the duo’s amazement and surprise. Seeing his dad and older sister for the first time, Jason starts to giggle and cooed happily.

“Hi little fella. I’m your daddy. Can you say ‘da-da’?”, Nick says to his son in a calm soothing voice.

“And I’m Isabelle, your big sister”, Isabelle replies in a similar tone.

Jason reaches out to Isabelle, as she moves her paw close to him. He reaches out to the large paw (large, that is judging by his small size) too and touches one of Isabelle’s fingers, as she responds with such warmth in her heart and a smile on her face.

“Thank God for the gift of sight…” Nick states calmingly. “Without it, we wouldn’t be able to observe the magic and beauty of the world that only our eyes can give us.” He looks down to his daughter, as she takes total heed of what her dad is saying.

“I remember when you were Jason’s age, Isabelle. Your eyes were closed, and you were struggling sometimes to open them, but they didn’t develop quite yet. But now, I find beauty staring at your adorable violet eyes. They look just like your mom’s. She may not be a fox, but hey, she still makes a good mom, doesn’t she?”

“Yeah! She’s the best!”, Isabelle replies enthusiastically.

Jay starts to suck on one of Isabelle’s fingers, and Isa herself looks down at this with surprise and just thinking “Awwww…”. “He must be thirsty”, Nick suspects. “I’ll get him a bottle of milk! Do you wanna come help, Isabelle?” he asks. Isabelle replies “I’d love to!”, and they leave the chair to head over to the kitchen and get little Jay-Tee a bottle of fresh milk. And so begins a new chapter in Jason’s life, with much fun and adventure with his two sisters and his parents!

Disney+ What To Watch: My Top 10 Favourite Modern-Day Disney Classics

#6. Zootropolis

Disclaimer: I am aware that this movie's official title is Zootopia, but I'm from the U.K. where it's called Zootropolis both describing the movie and in the movie so that's how I'm going to refer to it as.

So yes, as I stated yesterday with Big Hero 6, it was a real toss-up as to which would be #7 and which would be #6, but I chose Zootropolis as my #6 ultimately because I feel as a story and from an imagination point of view, it does have the superhero movie beat.

Why? Well unlike in the past of Disney movies when you have animals depicted in real-world settings, interacting with humans and simply being able to talk, Zootropolis consists of an entirely animal cast in a completely fictional setting based on any major metropolitan area you can think of and they're all anthropomorphic.

It's any mainstream buddy cop plot you can think of, but one told in this fictional animal populated setting with the same levels of discrimination and issues surrounding prejudice and hierarchy that you would see in any human based movie.

The animation and designs on these animals and the settings are fantastic. It's so obvious to see a fox as a con artist being sly by nature and for a lion to be the mayor as he is king of the jungle, but to actually see them in this setting is just really fun.

The theme of the movie about the metaphorical glass sealing and not being defined into one single trait just because that's what society seems you should always be is really inspiring and there is something about having that message delivered through animals that makes it that much more accessible.

The comedy is so good particularly in places, not just the spoken humour but also the distinct and somewhat obvious character tropes like the sloths working at the licence registration company and being very slow in both working and talking, but also Judy and Nick's reactions to this with Judy getting more and more frustrated and simultaneously Nick smirking.

Even the fact the big crime family of Zootropolis is lead by a rodent called Mr. Big, it's such an obvious gag at this point having someone small being called that, but it still feels fresh here because they're animals.

The names for the districts here are incredible. Little Rodinta could easily be Little Italy but is also inspired by Greenwich Village. TundraTown is this world's polar region, the Bunnyburrow beautifully sums up suburbia and it is also just wonderful.

Now the actual plot is kind of dated in the sense that it is the young plucky dreamer bunny working hard to beat the odds and become a police officer despite every single individual, parents included, trying to tell her she needs to stick to the natural order of things and be a carrot harvester.

Then you have the shady fox who has given up on his dreams and decided to simply take from the world that scarred his childhood as he’s also always been told what he is and been ostracised because of it.

Much like Moana, I love the buddy comedy dynamic that these two have. Because while Judy does seem like the naive dreamer while Nick is the more worldly realist, they both learn through the other one what they need to make them whole, with Nick learning humility and discovering he actually wants to be a cop, while Judy gets some teeth and does things she may not have thought capable of doing, being a bit sly, being cunning.

Realising that the working world is always an upwards climb and there is no resting on her laurels; just because she got into the police force doesn’t mean she’ll be taken seriously, just because she finally gains some recognition and respect, doesn’t mean she’ll please everybody. It’s realistic, it’s everyday, she’s not a Mary Sue but she keeps going and persisting and that’s what makes her such a great character.

Now obviously there was a lot of talk in this movie about the hierarchy of predators and prey, in real-world terms this could be any form of discrimination. Race, homosexuality, gender, religion, all of these real-world discriminatory issues can apparently be summed up in the animal kingdom of predator vs. prey.

One of the best lines in this movie is Officer Clawhauser packing his desk after the new wave of predator discrimination comes in because of Judy and Clawhauser tells her how he’s been demoted because having someone like him being the first face everyone sees isn’t the best fit with the department.

Obviously he’s talking about him being a cheetah and a predator, but because there are also hints of him being an LGBT character one could also make the argument that his line works on multiple levels.

Speaking of Clawhauser, Disney have recently developed a trend of queerbaiting which, as a gay man, is slightly frustrating especially when most of the queerbaited characters are supposedly gay men. Clawhauser, LeFou, Poe Dameron, even Ryder in Frozen II there are so many telltale signs that they indeed are queer characters, but nothing official. Nothing that clearly states they are. It is frustrating, roll on The Eternals.

Judy Hopps as a main character is fantastic because never would I have thought a plucky young bunny cop would be a compelling leading character as a mid-20s man. Two reasons I love Officer Hopps; not only is she voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin aka Snow White/Mary Margaret Blanchard in Once Upon a Time, but she has such a soothing and gentle voice that it suits a bunny rabbit beautifully.

As for Jason Bateman voicing Nick Wilde, not only do I not really know who the actor is but it never sounded like a celebrity coming from an animated characters mouth, I believed Bateman as a fox.

Idris Elba needs more recognition for roles he is great in and as Chief Bogo he is fierce, intimidating, strong and everything that a good Elba performance has.

Jenny Slate, JK Simmons and Alan Tudyk all very well melt into their roles, even though Tudyk plays kind of a parody on his character from Frozen. But it is just great having these supporting players so strong, also Kristen Bell plays Mr. Big’s daughter and is unrecognisable she is that good.

As for Shakira, she’s Shakira but she’s a gazelle, I have never looked at gazelles with any interest before but seeing Shakira as one, I’m sorry but she works it and delivers a great song with “Try Everything”.

There is a reason this movie won the Oscar for best animated picture and why it continues to be such a popular candidate for a sequel. This movie deserves a sequel, I want to see these characters have their stories continue. Through no particular rhyme or reason this was the very first thing I watched when I got Disney+. I wanted a feel good, hopeful, entertaining yet insightful movie to watch and distract me from all the bad that is plaguing this planet currently.

It’s a brilliant movie, it’s innovative yet familiar, light yet dark, action-packed yet laid back viewing. Everything that you want from this sort of movie is here.
