I had a delightful time with this mission because I had a better chance to run around Kohga and watch him do stuff and catch him in some silly poses without Sooga and-or 4+ Blademasters simultaneously trying to wreck my shit.

#9: Season 3, Episode 22 - “Leavin’ Stevens”

It’s the series finale!! Eileen is projected the winner of a major election for Congress, which means the Stevens family will be moving to Washington D.C. immediately. Pretty big deal. Our beloved characters must say goodbye to each other forever, but Louis can’t bring himself to move across the country without telling Tawny how he really feels about her. 

Let’s talk about why this cinematic plotline would’ve made an infinitely better DCOM than The Even Stevens Movie. 

This one opens with the Stevens family huddled together in the living room, anxiously awaiting the results of Eileen’s election. Riiiiight as the news reporter is about to announce the winner, Beans appears out of nowhere, grabs the remote and changes the channel to... Toon Disney?! They show a legit clip of Teamo Supremo (remember that show?! LOL) instead of some fake cartoon or something which is kinda cool. Granted, it’s a Disney cartoon, so they had the right to use it no problem -- but still! That show premiered in 2002 so I’m sure they threw that clip in there to promote it somehow. Otherwise, it’s just sorta funny to think Toon Disney and ABC (Disney Channel sister stations) exist in the Even Stevens-verse. 

Beans, being the nuisance that he is, throws the remote into a skinny vase thing so Ren is forced to ~magically~ change the channel back manually. 

Remember when you could change the channel with buttons on the actual TV? Good times. If you lose the remote these days, you’re pretty much screwed. 

Thankfully, they turn back in time to catch the results: EILEEN WON! It cuts to her giving a little press conference outside where she announces that the entire family will be moving to Washington D.C. immediately so that she can get to work right away. This is insane news to Louis since he apparently had no idea that Congress was in Washington or that the whole family would need to move there if Eileen were to win. 

It cuts to a very depressed Louis at school cleaning out his locker. Tom and Twitty are with him and Twitty is seemingly in denial about the whole situation, explaining that nothing’s going to change and that a few 14-year-olds can hop a flight to D.C., hang out with Louis and be home by dinner time easy peasy! Tom brings them back to reality by calling them “poor delusional fools” and it’s great. Tawny shows up and it’s time for “Romeo to bid farewell to his Juliet” (Tom’s words.) Oh, man. The rom-com drama kicks in here and I can’t get enough of it. 

I’m guessing that this moment is the actual very last time they’re ever going to see each other?!?! So, the two of them are incredibly freaking awkward trying to say their goodbyes. I mean, how do you say goodbye forever to one of your best friends who is also obviously your crush in, like.. 30 seconds? They’re stammering and dancing around the idea of simply saying “I’m gonna miss you!” So, what do they do? They end up completely avoiding the situation by talking about how they’re going to miss the school cafe’s chili fries instead of each other. Clearly, that is not the last thing either of them wanted to say. As frustrating as this scene is, it’s pretty hilarious. Louis is all “I’m really gonna miss... y.......ahh... c..hili.... fries on Wednesday!” and Tawny just awkwardly goes along with it, “Yeah. I love those... They’re great.” HAHAHA. They proceed to engage in what’s gotta be up there as one of the most uncomfortable hugs of all time:

One thing this show consistently nails is middle school awkwardness. Louis & Tawny are lightyears ahead of me and my old crush though. He was moving to Deleware at the end of 8th grade and we didn’t even say goodbye to each other at ALL at graduation, omg. We just avoided each other entirely. The worst part is that we were side-by-side PARTNERS for the graduation march and we didn’t even speak to each other. The level of immaturity and awkwardness is unparalleled.... 

It cuts to Ren talking with Ruby and Monique who are also getting emotional over Ren’s impending departure. (“What are we gonna do without her?!”) Basically, the two of them are completely incapable of organizing their own lives and need Ren’s constant guidance. One of their biggest concerns is that the three of them previously waited 6 hours in line for Peachbox tickets and now they can’t go to the concert together. First of all.... WHAT OR WHO THE HECK IS PEACHBOX? For some reason, I’ve always imagined a knockoff Matchbox Twenty band simply because of the “box” connection lol. Buuuut, I’m gonna guess that it’s just a music festival or something. It’s not important in the grand scheme of things here.

We see Louis and Twitty walking home from school together and it’s a very somber stroll. Twitty says “I know you’re not the most romantic guy in the world (I BEG TO DIFFER, TWITTY!!!) but, do you really want the last thing you talk about with Tawny to be chili fries?” Obviously, Louis says no, but its too late! There’s nothing he can do at this point! Twitty dramatically says “No, it’s never too late...” and just WALKS AWAY!!!! Did he leave Louis in the dust?! Was that the last thing they said to each other?! What?! Did Louis and Twitty’s epic friendship just... end on a cryptic note for dramatic effect? Why am I just realizing this?

I’m laughing at the idea of this being their final exchange. “It’s never too late. Peace out, cub scout.”

Twitty’s dramatic last words kick Louis into rom-com leading man overdrive. As soon as he gets home, he sits down and starts recording a videotape for Tawny so that he can say everything he wasn’t able to in person. (See cover photo.) Oh, my lord. This is incredible. He starts off by saying that he’ll already be 2,797 miles away (he looked it up) in Washington by the time she sees the tape. “I didn’t want the last thing we talked about to be chili fries. So that’s why I’m doing this -- this tape, ya know? To tell you how I really feel...” And Shia is already hitting it outta the god damn park with his acting. The scene cuts after that, so we don’t get to hear the rest. Gotta keep us on our toes!

Louis meets up with Tom later and gives him the tape, instructing -- or rather, threatening -- him to personally deliver it to Tawny... OR ELSE. 

“Tom, I’m entrusting you with this tape. Okay? So, if anybody else -- besides Tawny -- gets their hands on this... I will personally track you down and make you pay. You hear what I’m saying?”

There’s a little subplot with Donnie and Coach Tugnut, as well. Every character’s plot in this episode revolves around the Stevens family moving, which is kinda cool. We get to see how the potential change affects all of them! Coach Tugnut was planning on training Donnie for the Olympics, so he nearly has a heart attack when he finds out he’s moving. Steve decides to call his boss, Mr. Kupchack, and cuss him out because he thinks he’s never going to see him again. (Bad idea.) Louis has the Tawny situation. Ren has her friends. And of course, Eileen’s whole career is being uprooted. 

Tugnut ultimately decides to uproot his life as well and drive all the way to Washington to continue Donnie’s training. There’s a pretty great final ~adult joke~ here. Tugnut says he talked it over with his wife, Tammy, and they agreed that a little break could be good. He explains that Tammy is busy with her own life, which includes working the night shift at Romano’s Pizza. But, Donnie’s like.. “Uh, Coach... Romano’s Pizza closed, like... 2 years ago” -- Insinuating that Tammy’s been cheating at night. “I’m sure there’s a logical explanation!” Tugnut concludes. Wow. I like this joke, though. It’s subtle and smart. 

Right as Steve is fervently insulting his boss over the phone, Eileen comes running into the living room in a tizzy. She turns on the TV and calls for the entire family to come watch. In a “stunning and dramatic reversal,” a recount snatched victory away from Eileen and gave the congressional seat to some guy Charles Nuck. 

Louis: “My tape!” Ren: “My friends!” Steve: “My job!” Donnie: “My coach!” Eileen: “My seeeeat!”

You can always count on Tom Virtue to go overboard with his performance. To be fair, Steve knows that he totally just lost his job. Soo...

So, yeah! We’re only 9 minutes into the episode and The Stevens family is no longer moving! Wexler is so elated to have Ren back, he’s all “I’d be lost without you!” -- Literally no one can live a productive life without Ren Stevens I guess. He does a little happy dance down the hallway but then stops in his tracks in horror when he sees Louis moving back into his locker. “Noooo!” HAHAHA. 

“WHYYYYYY?!” -- I just really wanted to include this screenshot. Notice how Louis is unpacking a giant thing of syrup! Leftover from Lumberjack Club, I presume? 

Twitty stops by and Louis is in damage control mode. “I have a problem. I did the worst thing I could possibly do.” Twitty says “Dude, everyone gets gas climbing the rope in gym, it’s okay.” HAHA! For some reason I never really noticed that line before. It’s great. Of course, Louis explains that he gave Tawny a tape telling her how he really feels. Twitty asks how bad it is and if he dropped the “L-Bomb.” (“Did ya tell Tawny that you loved her?”) And Louis is officially freaking out. OHHHHHH MYYYY GODDDDDD. Scenes like this make me think that Even Stevens was more of a ~bro show~ kinda. I wonder if guys across the country related to this or not. 

Ren’s little ~storyline within the storyline~ could’ve been a lot better. As usual, she got the short end of the stick for her final hurrah in the series. She ends up finding a replacement of herself for Ruby and Monique named Denise who is seriously controlling and super creepy. After they find out the Stevens are no longer moving, Monique and Ruby really don’t want to go to the concert with Denise anymore. So Ren eventually finds replacements for Ruby and Monique as well so the three doppelgangers can go together instead. It’s trippy. And that’s pretty much it. 

Louis talks to Tawny later that day and finds out that Tom already delivered the tape. Yikes! Tawny doesn’t know what's on the tape though and doesn’t think much of it either. She’s assuming that it’s probably a nature special or Doris’ 40th birthday. And Louis quickly interjects “Good party! That was a good--” and awkwardly cuts himself off. Shia’s phrasing. It’s so good. I laughed pretty hard. Anyway, Louis is officially on a mission to retrieve the tape before she has a chance to watch it and calls Beans for help. Beans is at school when Louis calls his cell phone, and um... Beans is 8 years old. Why does he have a cell phone in 2002? Also, he should be in 3rd grade. Does this look like 3rd grade to you?!

That teacher is reading a baby storybook to them. This never seemed right to me lol. Also, that super tall kid in the middle is at least 11 years old. Come on now. ALSO they make a point to show that every kid in the class has a cell phone, too. Perhaps this show was simply ahead of its time AGAIN, showing us that soon technology will consume all of our lives at every age. 8 year olds have iPhones nowadays.

To sum it up, Louis has Beans climb into Tawny’s bedroom window to steal the tape back. This is the only episode where we see Tawny’s bedroom and much like the part of her house we saw in Thin Ice, it suits her personality perfectly and I love it. 

Louis is relieved to have the tape back, but once he gets home he notices the tape is actually labeled “To: Louis.” OHHHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! HEREEEE WEEEE GOOOOO! I’ll let you watch this truly iconic and emotionally taxing scene play out for yourself:

Can you say SOULMATES?! What are the odds they’d both decide to confess their feelings via videotape? Well, besides it being an uber romantic plot device lol. 

The episode ends with Louis and Tawny at their lockers, smirking knowingly at each other because they know they’re in love now lol. It’s precious. It’s still a little awkward because it’s like “ok, we love each other or whatever... now what?” So, in true Louis & Tawny fashion Louis says “Soooo... I hear they’re having chili fries at lunch today.” And Tawny whispers “Cool. I love chili fries.” The two of them laugh at how well they know each other and walk off hand and hand into the sunset. All is right with the world. 

How sweet are they?! Seriously one of the most underrated pairings everrrrr. Tawny’s jeans though. I never understood the 2000s fashion trend that was distressed markings on the BUTTCHEEKS of pants! It looks absolutely terrible.

The final minute bit is Tugnut crying “DonnnieeeeEE!” all alone at the Washington monument lol. 

This is probably the most cinematic episode of Even Stevens. This thing plays out like a freaking movie. Honestly, if they fleshed out the plot a little more and added a few twists and turns that I can’t think of because I’m not a screenwriter -- I firmly believe this would've made for a better and more satisfying DCOM than The Even Stevens Movie. They could've ended the series with an episode built around a wacky plot like the vacation, (I mean, the dismal and beyond outlandish In Ren We Trust was the series’ penultimate episode so that wouldn't be a stretch...) and then have an original movie with heart and a story rooted in the characters. Am I alone here, or? Having the series end with Louis and Tawny getting together and then barely interacting in The Even Stevens Movie always pissed me off. The bit with the videotapes could totally compete with any blockbuster romance film, tbh. MOVIES end with characters finally getting together and it's the big, satisfying moment. Ending a SERIES like that, and then not doing anything with it in the big finale film is just frustrating. I wanted to see what became of Louis and Tawny: The Couple. 

This 8-second scene of them in the chair is the extent of their interaction in the movie. Along with two “right next to papa” lines from Louis, which Tawny sorta reacts apathetically/sarcastically to. That’s literally it. 

I’ve mentioned before that people tend to write-off Even Stevens as nothing but a wacky show to watch if you want to turn your brain off. But, there’s so much heart here and great characters that are overlooked! Having such a crazy movie for the big ending just solidified that Even Stevens = Dumb and wacky TV show, in the memories of many. Which is perhaps the reason why the show isn’t remembered as widely or fondly in comparison to other live action Disney shows of the era. This could also contribute to its underratedness. It’s just not the DCOM we deserved. Even I remember thinking “this looks stupid” when I first saw the promo trailer for the movie as a kid. But this series finale episode felt more like a movie to me than the DCOM ever did! It almost seems like it was intended to be a film but they cut out a bunch of it. It feels really rushed. One minute the Stevens are moving and the next they’re not. There’s so much more tension and emotion that could’ve been built if the idea of them moving lasted longer than 8 minutes, haha. Idk. This just feels like a plot that deserves more than 21 minutes to unfold and breathe. 

I kinda adore this episode. To this day it still manages to squeeze a lil’ tear outta me. I really can’t stress enough how sublime Shia’s acting on the tape to Tawny is. If the scene was longer, it could totally rival his romantic monologue in Disturbia (which some people have performed for acting auditions!!!) I wanna see people do a “Louis Stevens monologue” for auditions, man! lol. The day I see a modern Disney kid pull this sort of scene off with the same level of maturity will be the day hell freezes over. I love that Shia gave his all to this role. Even though ES was “just a Disney show” he treated the material with the weight it deserved and I really appreciate that. It’s what helps make Even Stevens more than “just a Disney show” and why it’s still great, if not better, in 2018. 

This episode makes my Top 10 because, like I said, it has such a movie feel to it and one of the strongest/most engaging plotlines in the entire series. I might’ve ranked this one even higher if Ren had a better final plot. They could’ve had a double romance dilemma with Ren and Larry getting together as well or at least a cute moment where they finally end their rivalry, but nooooooooo! The pressure of moving forced Louis & Tawny to confront their feelings, they could’ve done the same thing with Ren and Larry. If this episode had a Ren/Larry subplot of any kind it would probably be my #1 lololol. The episode does have a lot going for it and so much potential though. I had to put it in the single-digits.

The Louis/Tawny content here is OBVIOUSLY of the highest quality. Hands down the most romantic thing I’ve ever seen on the Disney Channel at least. The videotape(s) is like a grand gesture, but also small and intimate at the same time. Per-fect. The acting is especially great here, from both Shia and Margo. I mean, these performances could stand up against any "adult” comedy TV show, heck.. they’re probably better honestly. They’re seriously killin’ the game and they’re both 16/17 years old here. So underrated. Even Stevens deserved to be picked up by a major network. Imagine what it might’ve been like on ABC, CBS, or NBC? Dang. It’d be the cult classic it deserves to be today.

Thanks for reading!!

It's weird for me to see my art stuff on other sites/in a search. I'm not sure why; I checked the "yer shit shows up in searches" box. But still I'm like, "myyyy art?" "mine?" "my own?!".

I bring this up because while looking for a screenshot of the green text "Hancock idolizes you", I saw my drawing of Danse and Hancock doing the archer pose together. The site wasn't tumblr and I realized that I don't have a signature or a watermark on that one and I was worried that someone might try to say it's theirs and sell it or whatever (boy that sentence sounds super ego, huh? Yuck😑). So I clicked on it like "oh boy I'm about to have a panic attack" and it was... just... so much porn.

A whole bunch of porn. And Fallout art.

And now I don't know what to do. 😬 Is there even anything I could do? Do I care enough to try? 🤔

Long update:

Hey guys!! I just wanted to say that I've been getting a TON of really awesome, positive messages from you guys, and it's absolutely mind-blowing to me how supportive you all are. However, because there are so many messages coming in, I unfortunately won't be able to respond to everyone individually. I was going to do a mass post with screenshots of the asks I've received, but I now have too many to even do that efficiently! It's incredible! Luckily, most of the asks I've been getting have been in reference to one of two things: excitement about me accepting asexual/aromantic people on this blog, or support and encouragement of me taking a break from requests. So I'm going to make a general response to you guys regarding these topics to let you know that I have in fact read every single one of your messages, and let you know how appreciative I am of all that you guys have done for me. So here goes nothing! If you messaged me regarding ace positivity: Ohhh myyyy goodness. You guys are incredible. So many of you messaged me thanking me for welcoming and supporting the ace-spectrum community, so to that I would like to say that there's nothing to thank me for! We're all human here, and the human thing to do is to accept and include one another. This blog is a place where we celebrate each other, and even though I did get some negativity, it was well worth the stress. I hope to do my best to provide a safe space for anyone who needs it, regardless of sexuality, gender, race, religion, disability, etc. I am so proud and honored to have you guys on my blog and I am so thankful for all of your kind words and positivity!! Happy Pride to everyone!! If you messaged me regarding my request hiatus: Words honestly cannot describe how appreciative I am of you all, especially today. I am my biggest critic, and saying no to requests is incredibly difficult for me to do. I'm always so paranoid that someone is going to get upset or offended that I didn't fulfill their requests. But you guys are right - I need to set limits and make sure that I take care of myself before I take care of anybody else. Thank you to everyone who reminded me that it's okay to take time to myself, and even encouraged me to do so! All of your positivity really helps me get through my own self-doubt. Sorry for the long post, but I hope you guys know that I love all of you so much. When I first started this side blog I never imagined I would gain the following that I have currently, nor did I expect you guys to be so encouraging and kind!! I know all I do is post food videos, but you guys have made me feel like I'm really making a difference and inspire me to keep moving forward even on my worst days. I hope you all know how lovely you are, and that you help me so much. Thank you!!!

Scale of one to ten, how mad do you think Kohga is when, after he describes his/the Clan’s long, difficult work to figure out how to use Zonai tech, to collect charges, and to reconstruct a mighty ancient construct to gift to Lord Ganon, and after he debuts said amazing piece of engineering (which he’s even dressed up to show it’s special and his)*…

Link can just stand back and let his own mech, that he built in like two days tops and that is powered by a sage who barely knows him and is following him more or less blindly because he’s the Princess’s Chosen Hero…

Bop his creation repeatedly with a spiky metal ball (his own signature weapon)?

Because I think the answer is over 9000.

This is the mask of a man having a breakdown.

[noirandchocolate]

And then he and Sooga and a bunch of Blademasters curb stomped me twice.

‘Who else wants to dance?!’

[noirandchocolate]

This playthrough we are being in Yiga uniform as much as possible. And having all kinds of hijinks.

Our best friend is always so supportive! Yeah! Let’s go make Master Kohga proud!

…I’m not sorry.

Time to terrorize Tarrey Town, wooooo!

Racist AND capitalist I see. For shame Ramella, I’m just minding my own business.

Daily reverence at our house where we also display our official pristine Eightfold Longblade of Blademasterness.

Hanging out with the boss man himself on his private boat which we then stole. Such an honor!!!

Oh dang really?????????

Contemplating this gay life.

No.

[noirandchocolate]

Photos of the Besties* taken during the EX Battle for Kakariko Village mission.

They’re so happy to see each other!

It’s great they can hang out together and do some weapons practice with a couple of Sooga’s soldiers, but. Stars that’s a big height difference.

There you go, Sooga, if you crouch a little you can share secrets. How fun!

Look, Sooga’s showing Mipha a cool technique! She can’t learn this kind of magic but she can certainly appreciate the stance and concentration involved.

Whee they’re having a dance party with Daruk!

Gazing up at the sky together, just having a nice time—

DARUK NO!!!!!

[noirandchocolate]

Thanks, please do! Anything you say, beautiful!

No more violence? Sooga are you saying we can be best friends now?

Oh. I see how it is. :<

[noirandchocolate]

(Whatever they want, Riju, don’t be a hater.)

But anyway, headcanon that during this DLC mission (Liberate the Ancient Tech Lab), the Clan was there for more than just an opportunistic attempt on the Thunder Helm.

All we’re told at the start of the mission is that the Lab was ‘captured by monsters,’ forcing the researchers to flee, and that Urbosa and Riju took troops there to retake it. And that ‘more than just a monster horde [lay] in wait for them.’

What if! The Yiga weren’t JUST setting up an ambush for any heroes who might’ve come to take out the monsters at the lab. What if (in addition) they were there to steal ancient tech from the lab themselves? And figured the monster onslaught would be a good cover?

I headcanon that the Yiga are less alienated in general from many parts of their ancient Sheikah heritage than the Kakariko Sheikah and that that’s a big reason why they take to using Zonai stuff in TotK so readily: they’ve got access to super old records of Sheikah tech rescued and hoarded during and after the genocide 10,000 years ago, so tinkering and figuring out magitech is in their culture. (There’s at least one turn-in quest in AoC where Kohga gives a Clan member some kinda ‘oldfangled’ bit of tech, for example.) In the current era they don’t get a whole lot of opportunities to mess with actual working Sheikah tech beyond what bits they’ve dug up for themselves over the years though. So I feel like in AoC timeline, taking advantage of a monster attack on the Royal Lab to liberate a whole bunch of tech stuff and more documents would be right up their alley.

Meanwhile THIS ^^^ is a lil’ more fodder for my previously stated view that the Yiga/monster ‘alliance’ (this mission takes place pre-Astor betrayal, obviously) is not exactly great. The Clan clearly hasn’t ‘tamed’ the monsters like Urbosa claimed in Destroy the Yiga Clan! since Kohga is surprised that so many are around. So it doesn’t seem like he has control over the monster side of the attack on the Lab, but more like the ‘situation’ is advantageous for some theft and hero-smacking. Regardless, the fact that not only is Kohga surprised at the number of monsters, but cites that as a reason to pull back from battle (it’s definitely not cause Riju kicked his butt, no no never that definitely didn’t happen), tells me that monsters are as much of a danger to Clan members as to anyone else. Why leave the field and hang back til the heroes have repelled the horde to make a play for the Helm, if that horde is your true ally you could safely fight alongside?

Anyway I’m rambling at this point, so I’ll leave y’all with this picture of Master Kohga’s cool new hat:

Stunning. Fashion icon. No notes.

[noirandchocolate]

Bast finished our Yiga Uniform Run in Tears last night and got some pretty sweet shots.

“Link…what in Hylia’s name are you wearing?”

“…I’m a Blademaster.”

[noirandchocolate]

So anyway I think I did the stable picture quests the correct way.

[noirandchocolate]

It’s so hard for me to get good screenshots of this game while playing missions because everything is constantly moving, but I managed to get some shots of the banana boys fighting side by side.

I never noticed before, but pretty much any time I wasn’t actively attacking them? And they’d moved apart from each other on the battlefield while doing their cool techniques? Sooga would go march over to Kohga so they’d be together again. :)

[noirandchocolate]

I sent Zelda into Vah Naboris to save Urbosa this playthrough. :’)
