Ed Edd and Eddy succeeds at what Haz/boss attempts

Here's another series both these shows could learn from.

Spoilers ahead.

Ed Edd and Eddy, another hyperactive crazy gag cartoon that is hardly for its supposed target audience. With a very basic plot, it's a lot like Helluva boss, yet it manages to move any story along faster than the more serious plot driven but still wacky Hazbin hotel.

We have obnoxious lead characters pushing business in an unappealing looking and feeling environment where good and bad and right and wrong are ambiguous. Only accountability and growth are highly prominent in the kids show.

Initial plots

Assassin imps who sit at the bottom of society are determined to make this small business work.

Antichrist princess of hell runs a hotel where she wants to redeem sinners in order to send them to heaven.

Kids who grift for money and candy.

Characters

Eddy is a lot like both Charlie and Blitzø, he's a hyper, toxic positive, opportunistic try hard, desperate for his ideas to work, he's leader of the pack who's good at being dismissive and driven to the point of carelessness.

Like Blitzø and co. and pilot Charlie and co., the Ed's are not established at what they're working towards, but they're willing to put in the work which only leads to misadventures.

Excluding Charlie as she barely gets the time of day, the fake it till you make it demeanor Eddy and Blitzø display masks saddens, loneliness and a lack of control of how they live and how they've been living.

Blitzø glides through his show on charisma and sympathy, along with facing someone objectively worst, his behaviour being rude and mean spirited is something nobody cares about and he like those around him can step up on anybody of any standing and their actions be shrugged off.

Eddy too is a charismatic and sympathetic character, his constant trying and failing at his ideas offers us a good underdog, yet he's no hero, he's a scammer and his unsavoury ways always bother people. He gets confronted a lot.

Charlie glides through on being a nice enough side character, dispite being the lead. Though like Ed, Charlie is very determined to push an idea and get others on side, but lacking in fight, assertiveness and aggression. All three leads are fast talking salesman types, yet Ed faces consequence on the regular.

HB and EED feature additional leads that serve as the primary leads sidekicks.

We have the highly similar Moxxie and Edd, though Edd stands up for himself a more, there have been fall outs and he doesn't treat his leader of the pack as a superior, something Moxxie does dispite being there since Blitzø business was just an idea, which was when they first met, welcoming Blitzø into his life.

Both are timid, sensible, cultured and full of ideas, dragged into the problems their pushy leader presents and walked all over, much to their frustration.

We also have the friendly and loyal bruiser sidekick who doesn't really have a lot to contribute in this group dynamic. These characters being Millie and Ed, yet were Millie could speak up more, have an opinion and let her presence be known but she doesn't, Ed on the other hand is consistently operating from elsewhere.

Target audience

Helluva and Hazbin are both adult cartoons, yet clean up the dialogue and that's hardly the case. Yes there's gore and mature themes but they make up a small part in upping the age rating in comparison to the swearing and sex jokes. The mature themes are offered to us in layman's terms, we get a lot of flashbacks and confessions.

Ed Edd and Eddy is for all audiences dispite being violent, featuring sexual harrassment, domestic violence and child abuse, the execution of these mature themes are played out in a nuanced manner where we are not spoon fed information.

Mature themes - trauma

Dispite being a comically violent gag cartoon, all the children, dispite being at odds with Eddy, some being volatile ob the regular and some being younger, were able to understand what domestic violence was when Eddy was bullied by his brother, his brother being a character Eddy had long hyped up as someone cool and admirable, turned out the only truth was that this guy existed.

His own revelation that he had fabricated a big part of his background explained a lot, all of Eddy's charisma and try hard ways were determination to be liked, appreciated and have nice thing. This was growth for him and he earned the respect and understanding of his peers absent of pity, everybody moved on happily without the audience being guided into what they should perceive.

The movie not only wrapped up the show, but bought completion to the whole story.

Helluva and Hazbin is very overt in showing us what the characters have been through and are going through. We get flashbacks to childhood even when it may not be necessary.

First off, Moxxie's flashback was fine, it wasn't particularly dramatic for its setting, it explained why he was a good marksman and why he had 'daddy issues', his daddy is also an active threat, so Moxxie's avoidance doesn't always work out.

Blitzø desperation to have his business work out leading him to make a dodgy deal fit perfectly fine, we learn that his kind are at the bottom of society, we see that they don't work anywhere glamorous and he's no kid, obviously he's had to make an effort to keep his head above water, his poor decision making has probably gotten him into trouble in the past which is something that could spell endless storylines, his family aren't present and he's aggressively forming a new one so bridges being burned were storylines the audience should have expected, we learnt that he stole from Verosika and broke her heart, Verosika is a whole sucubus who seemed more cut up about in him than him interested in her.

Did we really need to know that he was manipulated into being a user and a thief back when he was an innocent little child? Weren't his underhanded tactics understand enough?

Charlie got a flashback of being a very small child expressing an interest in what her daddy was doing but her now absent mother took her away. This provided the backbone for her sulking that her dad isn't being supportive when he presented himself as a rare character to challenge her ideas, yet unlike the other extras to do so he had the vantage point of having had the same ideals herself once.

Her mother being probably the most like minded person in her life yet absent, for some reason doesn't matter.

Mature themes - SA

In Hazbin we have a pimp who films porn and has his workers in soul contracts.

We have royalty lending out a grimore in exchange for kinky sex over in Helluva.

Sex jokes are a regular occurrence in the helluveese with actual SA being downplayed by the victim who holds no power and no to little choice, who openly shows a discomfort around their controller, not be a victim because they gave reluctant consent.

Sexual harassment and SA manage to be present in EEE in an overt manner despite the show being for all audiences, yet they also manage subtlety.

The pests are the Canker sisters, three intimidating sister with different dads who all want boyfriends and are a force to be reckoned with, they stick together and double up as school and neighbours bullies and are casually violent to one another with no hurt feelings. They have snuck on to the Ed's properties and even the most ferocious of charaters fear them, these girls want their way with their targets and little stops them, so they hold a lot of power, it really makes for a good hierarchy.

Though there is self awareness here, they have been stood up to for their aggressive advances and in one episode they had their pushy ways reflected back at them and were terrified, only this wasn't undone by a new episode rolling around and all that was done being undone, but normality was restored when they smelt fear, a predators equivalent of blood in water to a shark. This allowed a major plot progression to occur yet be reversed effectively, opposed to HH and HB offering big plot progress such as Blitzø and Moxxie's capture and heart to heart or Charlie showing up at Angeldust's work, which both go on to make no difference to future episodes as if they didn't happen.

The subtlety with their characters comes from the surprising adult joke of the different fathers which insinuates that their behaviour is something they're used to seeing, also, they are children, what chance have they had to learn empathy and decency? Who will teach them?

Which leads on to a major plot point of all these shows.

Elders are to blame

Where both Helluva boss and Hazbin hotel are big on daddy issues and absent mothers, Ed Edd and Eddy doesn't feature parent at all. We only follow children doing as they please wherever they may be. We don't see teachers even though we see them at school. We don't see neighbours even though the world around them is often being trashed. On the occasion we do meet a seemingly adult character it's away from the series and in the movie, it's a truely big deal that lives up to any hype, then the story is over.

Adversaries

In the Helluverse, villainy is selectively embraced, the tone of who we should root for and who we shouldn't is clearly set. Where we have full blown predators and dictators being pushed as essentric and the other cheek turned to their actions and intentions, Valention is just running business and Stolas and Blitzø have a thing going on.

Some are even counterproductive, how did Lucifer being at the heart of everything not matter or care to be addressed? Why does Charlie not care about the sinners Alastor and Rosie cannibalized?

We then have had prominent adversaries who the tone depicts as baddies we shouldn't like and a real treat, however both series gave us a 'big fat stupid jerk' who nobody had issues humiliating. Nobody cares about what they have to say or their contributions.

Female adversarie haven't been much of a threat, they get to have spats with the character who in the spotlight, sympathetic and in the right.

What did Glitz and Glam do that was so wrong? Was Stella not a scorned woman cheated, publicly humiliated and given no choice but to leave her home,

later revealed to have the same sad backstory as Stolas yet less freedom in the present?

Females tend to be sexualised 'super bitches' with their bitchyness being what matters, not what is directed at them, but ultimately it doesn't matter at the same time because they don't matter. Over in HH, we have basic Lilith as a twist shady character lounging on the beach while war is happening and her daughter struggles? Why is this is an issue when her husband is yet to be confronted and probably never will be? Same 'bitch' who come between daddy and daughter.

There's also fellow basic Lute whose actions truly should should make her stand out but don't for no reason at all, yet would they get half the spotlight if they weren't designed cute?

Who knows, since every female to get some time has been 'pretty', but no doubt the same dismissive attitude would be sent their way if they absolutely had to be seen.

Ed Edd and Eddy have a variety of different local kids to serve as friends or foes. The perpetrator depends.

They tend to be common trophes that are built upon, take jerkish because he can be local mean kid Kevin, who sees the Ed's as dorks and feels the need to let them know it.

The highly aggressive Sarah is almost entirely reactive, yet as violent and strong as she is, she has no more courage than anyone else and is seen gaging when to pick her battles or being to frightened to make her presence known. She is a nice friend to Jimmy and mainly a menace because she is a bratty little girl who is harder to avoid than others since she's Ed's sister.

Some are decent like pretty and well liked Naz who is rather mature and isn't going to let herself get walked all over

and foregin kid Rolf with his unusual customs, a hard working and principled kid who will call out anyone

but how much patience should a nice enough person have? Especially when lot of the time it's the Ed's, generally Eddy, making trouble for others.

Ed's main barrier to success is his struggle impress or screw these others over, there's no shying away from his behaviour bothering people yet he still manages to hold up as a fun, eccentric lead.

Location

In the Helluverse, this is hell but only when it suits. The scenery of HB has looked rather spacious, vibrant and appealing while the harsh colours of the HH series in heaven or hell are bold, the ceiling we were offered in the pilot which offered a claustrophobic entrapment seems a thing of the past, it looks very big and open once we step outside of Charlie's hotel, even the colour relax to something more neutral.

There is a lack of depravity with powerful leaders we are to like being toned down, the sin of lust believes in consent always, the sin of gluttony worries about over indulgence and the actual devil is just a fun dorky dad who doesn't appear to be doing anything in particular. Anyone portrayed as a victim serves to tug at the viewers heartstrings and be cute and likeable in that moment.

Charlie has a big fancy hotel that isn't going anywhere and welcomes sinners, former humans who are spawned into a middle class.

Over in HB the demons have raised hell on earth, arriving to carry out hits, bringing forth monsters, demonic possession, lude acts infront of minors, showing true forms and being responsible for some of the most gory scenes.

All with no consequence. It's like the setting serves primarily as a way to incorporate fun character designs with the various races.

EEE gives us a bunch of unsupervised kids who can do what they want in this unattractive environment that uses a strange colour scheme with a lack of contrast that gives a closed in feel. It is entirely lawless, non serious, so OTT that anything goes, physics need not apply.

For years people have theorized that these characters aren't living and that this may be set in limbo or purgatory. Be this the case or not, this series succeeds at giving us a very off backdrop to compliment its total lack of realism.

9-1-1 S8x04 Liveblog Notes

This episode starts and ends with Bobby being underestimated by Gerrard in completely unique ways. Amazing.

Underrated line: "So they took my house from me. Yes, it was humiliating. Well, I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I'm back." I really don't think Gerrard is fully gone. We know there will be more Hotshots + Brad this season. Gerrard is a man who survives out of spite, and there are depths of his hatred we don't even know.

I'm so curious about how Gerrard has, if I remember correctly, said mooks twice. Gerrard/Sal OTP.

As long as we're going to talk about Gerrard, I'm adding this here much, much later: awful, terrible people have good sides to them. This will always be true, especially for powerful people. I've seen a few different interpretations of "Tight End," but I'm going to be real with you all from someone who grew up in male spaces? This is affection. This is Old Guard shit. It is not good. It is the kind of preferential affection that tells you that you're on thin ice but you're special enough or good enough if you work hard, and you've been noticed. Your name will always be your strongest weakness. Someone has their eye on you. You can be called out by the leader something awful, but at least you have a name. (My coach's name for me was "Bruiser.")

Buck is terrible at golf. I feel like there was a lot of spec this episode about his outfit: that's just a golf outfit. Buck strikes me as the kind of guy who knows how to socially fake appearances, and Gerrard isn't calling him on his terrible performance here. NOTABLY: in terms of performance, Oliver Stark can act his way through terrible drives down the line with the addition of SFX and flailing with the net, but I'm still frustrated at how capable he was in the basketball montage in s7 after Buck is supposed to hate/suck at basketball.

Yes, you can be good at a sport and hate it. That's me with golf. That's Buck with basketball.

Someday, if anyone ever wants, I would love to nerd out about how they blocked and choreographed the basketball scene, because it DOES make me a little crazy.

Did they actually play a full 18 after this? And Buck survived?

The apartment Bobby and Athena are looking at is at least $2mil. It actually looks like several listings where I was trying to gauge new build in surrounding neighborhoods when I was writing "An Outlier."

Michael... plans. I find it a little weird that Athena would do it, a lot weird she would do it without Bobby. Bobby and Michael had a good relationship! But then Athena was excited! It's a weird way to navigate how Michael can't physically appear in the show anymore. It almost feels like a regression, because Bobby and Michael were so close. Michael would probably have reached out to Bobby if Athena reached out to him. I miss their made, intentional, yet triumphant family so much (including May and Harry).

I was SO into Chimney pointing out the obvious about the blueprints until he made it about the 118-- although his Gerrard impression was the unsettling kind of impressive.

The tiger would have simply become friends with me and I would have called 9-1-1 while we were chilling on the couch together. But I would have told them it was okay and to never come because I found my best friend forever.

Crazy that they had to use a tranq dart. I simply would have entered the apartment and said hello and the tiger would have recognized me as a friend and we would have left together laughing over shared interests.

I totally think Eddie violated HIPAA contacting an underage patient's parent without his OR his guardian's permission. Eddie also showed said parent photos of his son's injury that Eddie had taken without permission. The mother even clarified that she would not notify the father. For me, the biggest implication here is that Eddie's on-the-job performance (despite being impeccable during the emergency itself) could begin to suffer, or his ability to remain impartial in situations will continue to take hits before it gets better without Christopher.

People are BIG MAD about the above opinion on Reddit. Why are you booing me, I'm right.

I had an HR post script about how Bobby financially runs his department here and how he underhires with overperformers to navigate attrition, but it is lost to time. I guess we will never know how my sexy HR brain works in a situation that it has never been in, but I'm sure I was right, because I always am.

A kinda Must Love Dogs modern harringroveson au. Steve is a pencil pusher at his dads business but has an unbriddled talent for art, especially the macabre monsters that he draws crawling out of swimming pools. Steve is also in need of a date, it has been decided. So roommate Robin creates a profile on a dating app with little input from Steve, mostly just tacking onto the end 'must love dogs' so he can try for a fun-loving personality. Steve gets a few responses, men and women alike, and goes on a couple horrendous dates. Then he meets up with Billy.

The funny bit is that Steve doesn't even have a dog. He takes Robin's pomeranian to the dog park date with him (its robins exes dog, she doesn't even like little dogs). Billy shows up with this bruiser of a pitbull, short and buff and blue nosed. But that dog isn't his either, it belongs to his sister Max.

It comes out that Billy recently moved to town to help her step mom and step sister after his dad ran out on them. Step mom is doing her best with her alcoholism and Max is trying to control her anger issues and Billy has his own history of abuse to contend with. Steve was not prepared for the level of human that Billy was, for honesty and bite and bitter joy. He's really into it and they decide to meet up for another dog date the following week.

So then comes along Eddie. Eddie works at the local radio station, sings metal and hard rock at all the events and also owns one giant behemoth of a dog. Long haired black wolf looking thing that most people are afraid of but who clearly adores Eddie. Steve has known of Eddie from high school but their paths rarely crossed, with Steve being into sports and Eddie being a delinquent nerd, but Steve had always known he was attractive. Running into him at the dog park after his time spent with Billy hits him hard across the face, like woah, who is this witty flirt with a tongue ring?

Billy also runs into Eddie at the dog park a couple days later, meeting him for the first time and instantly hitting it off with talk of bands and rock n roll.

The three of them dance around eachother for months before it's finally realized what they are doing, how they are all essentially dating eachother without even communicating it, and how they should all actually date for real. This is when Eddie learns that neither Steve nor Billy own a dog and is accordingly devastated and betrayed. They all go to a punk show as an apology.

Tommy & Bruiser Part 9

Title: Tommy & Bruiser Fandom(s): 9-1-1 Relationships: Evan Buckley/Tommy Kinard, Temporary Tommy Kinard/Other Men, Background Pairings Tags: Tommy Adopts A Dog, Fluff, Getting Together Warnings: Canon-Typical Violence, Explicit Sex, Discussion of Domestic Violence, Discussion of Stalking, Discussion of Harassment Summary: Tommy's life changes when he meets a shivering mess during a fire. Word Count: 118 for each day Author Notes: For @118dailydrabble

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8

Day 49-Moon

"This is your brain on a normal day." Tommy showed the short clip of Bruiser sleeping. 

"This is your brain on catnip." 

The next video showed Bruiser pawing at a toy that hit him every time he touched it. It was soft, so there was no chance of it hurting him, but he had done that for an hour while high on catnip. 

"I swear that I am going to rename you Moon Moon, and you are never going to live it down." Tommy started up the video again. "Don't do drugs."

There was no hope because he was going to keep on getting into Princess' catnip. There was no stopping it, and honestly, stoned-out Bruiser was funny.

Day 50-Recuperate

Princess hated him. That was all that seemed to matter to Bruiser. Princess hissed at him when he walked by her, even though he had made a perfect place for her sleep while she recuperated from being spayed. 

When Princess hissed, Bruiser came and chased him off. 

It made taking care of her wounds a little hard, but in the end, the claw marks were worth it because he didn't want her to get sick. He just locked up Bruiser so the dog didn't attack him, too. Tommy wasn't sure how it was going to go for Miriam and Jake when they took care of them on his next day of work, but that was another day's problem. 

Day 51-Floor

Tommy wasn't sure what was going to happen, but he could see the tail as it moved on the floor. He figured that Princess was going to jump out at him, but he also knew that she was smart. Bruiser was also smart...just also a big assed dumbass most of the time. Still, Tommy headed across the floor and waited for Princess to attack. The attack came from another place. Bruiser grabbed the linen bag and took off running with his prize. 

Laughing, Tommy scooped up Princess from behind the curtain and looked at her. "You made a bad decision." 

Princess just started to purr, sure of the fact that Tommy wasn't ever getting rid of her.

Day 52-Prologue

Past was prologue was a saying that Tommy had heard a lot. He wasn't sure what it actually meant, but as he looked at his phone, he wondered if it had to do with the past repeating itself.

"Howie, what's happening?"

"Are you are work?"

"I am. Why?"

"You think that I could talk you into borrowing a helicopter for us?"

Before Tommy could ask for more, Howie went into it. He laid it all out before he stopped.

"And who is us?"

"Eddie, Buck, and I. Well, Hen, but she's going to try and do it all on her own, like with fake paperwork, if I know her." 

"Get here fast as you can." 

Tommy hung up.

Day 53-Strike

It was like getting struck by lightning, seeing the man who Howie had introduced as Buck but had given Tommy the name of Evan. He was beautiful and made Tommy's pulse race. He wanted him but also wanted to just be near him. 

The whole flight to the wrecked ship and then back after, Tommy had tried to keep it together. He was never going to forget the way that Evan's hand felt in his as Evan said his name. His name had never sounded so good coming out of someone else's mouth. He wanted to hear it in all ways he could get Evan to say it. 

Which was why he was a mess in his bed.

Day 54-Alarm

It was like he was putting off an alarm when he came into the house. Bruiser and Princess came running at him, Princess twining between his legs and trying to get attention because loving on her always made him feel happy. He walked over to the couch, and both of them got up there and started to comfort them in their own ways. He picked up Bruiser and laid him on his chest, letting Princess get on his shoulders. 

"You can't run Evan off like you have everyone else," Tommy said to Bruiser as he lifted the dog up to look him in the eye. 

Bruiser didn't seem to care. He just stared at Tommy and licked him.

Extra-Survivors

Tommy looked at the numbers for the survivors as he waited for Eddie to get here. Despite wanting to hear from Evan first, Eddie had been the one to reach out to him. Tommy had wanted to get his hands on a Chevelle for years so when Eddie talked about his car, Tommy had practically begged him to bring it over to look at. 

The knock came, and Tommy hoped that Bruiser didn't show his ass. He got up from the couch and opened the door to find Bruiser sitting there, waiting to be petted and loved on. 

"I was not expecting that."

"No one is. This is Bruiser. The biggest pain in my ass. Above only Princess."

WRESTLING SUPERSTARS: Winter 1988

SUPERSTAR QUOTEBOOK

Kerry Von Erich: “You know, the best part about being World Class champ has been getting the opportunity to wrestle Jerry Lawler. They’ve been some of the toughest matches of my entire career, and a few things have bothered me. Mainly, it’s confusing wrestling under another federation’s rules. For example, we recently wrestled in Louisville and I was disqualified for piledriving Jerry. To me, that’s just not fair. Where I come from, the piledriver is legal.”

Brian Pillman: “Johnny Smith hasn’t heard the last from Bad Company. He might have helped The Cuban Comandos win our belts, but now he’s gonna have to help himself to a good butt-kicking. Smith had no business interfering in that match, and it’s only because of him that we don’t have those belts anymore. But don’t you worry. Before long, the Stampede International tag team belts will be back around our waists, and me or Bruce Hart are gonna have Smith’s title, too.”

Curt Hennig: “I’ve had enough of Jerry Lawler’s garbage. That fraud has been running away from me ever since he stole the AWA title, but now I'm doing something about it. From now on, you’ll find me in the WWF, and before long you’re gonna find me right on top of the heap there, too. You know, there’s really only so much a man can take, but by me leaving, Lawler’s gonna know that his belt is worthless, because he won’t be defending it against a real champ.”

Precious: “When that scumbucket Kevin Sullivan pushed Jimmy [Garvin] out of the cage and locked the door, I didn’t know what I was going to do, but I knew one thing: I was gonna die before I let him lay his hands on me I should’ve known that Jimmy would find a way to save me, because he’s never turned his back on me, even with all that’s happened over the past few months. I was crying when Jimmy finally got me, but those were tears of joy.”

Terry Taylor: “Now that I’ll be in the WWF, I plan to take things slowly, maybe ambush a few people, before I let them know what Terry Taylor’s really about. You know, I’ve made a reputation for myself all over the wrestling world, but I’m ready to start at the bottom if i have to. But before long, everybody’s gonna know about Terry Taylor. I may not be the biggest man in the world, but I’m the best wrestler. Size isn’t everything in this game.”

Eddie Gilbert: “Windy City, Continental, AWA… the great part of wrestling these days is that wherever you go, there’s a good chance you’re gonna see my face. Me and Missy and Paul E Dangerously have established a wrestling empire that makes Hot Stuff Inc and Hyatt International look like small change. You just ask Willie B. Hert. He’s had his butt kicked by me a bunch of times and it ain’t over. With ‘Hot Stuff,’ it ain’t ever over.”

Jim Cornette: “Beautiful Bobby and Sweet Stan want a shot at those NWA World tag team belts, and I’m not gonna give up until I get them one. I can’t believe that Tully and Arn would duck anyone, but you can be sure as heck they’re ducking us.  If you ask me, it’s all J.J. Dillon’s fault. He’s the one that’s scared of us. He saw our victory over The Fanatics and he knows that The Midnight Express can’t be beaten. He also knows I'm the best manager ever!”

Bam Bam Bigelow: “My career isn’t going to end simply because I left the WWF. I’m going to try to work in the Memphis, Continental, and Windy City areas, and I’ve set up a tour of Japan. I’d like to do what Bruiser Brody used to do, and become a ‘freelance’ wrestling star. I’m hungry again, and I’m looking forward to some new challenges and titles. As far as I’m concerned, the WWF was not ready for me. Now I’m ready to take on the world!”

Stan Hansen: “Let me tell ya something, and I’ve never meant anything more: Bruiser Brody was the toughest man to ever step foot into a wrestling ring, and that includes me. You know, I’m glad he was always on my side, because that’s one sucker you didn’t want to get angry. By me leading a chant of ‘Brody! Brody!’ every time I wrestle, I’m keeping the spirit of Bruiser alive. He was a great man and I’m gonna miss him a lot.”

Dusty Rhodes: “You know, ‘The Dream’s’ been doing a lot of thinkin’ these days, daddy, thinkin’ about the past and thinkin’ about the present, thinkin’ about what I’ve done for Ronnie Garvin and Barry Windham have turned around and done to me. I ain’t gonna say it doesn’t hurt, brother, cause it hurts real bad. Real bad.

Medusa Miceli: “It really makes me laugh when little daddy’s girls like Brandi Mae just come onto the scene and think they’ve got what it takes to be AWA World Women’s champion. But I’ve kicked her little butt so many times, I think she’s learned a lesson. Now magnificent Mimi thinks she’s gonna come around with her dresses and her high-heeled shoes and take this belt from me, but it’s not gonna happen. I’m the only real woman in the AWA.”

Terry Gordy: “Don’t ask me what’s goin’ on with P.S. and Buddy Jack. I’m happy right here in Japan. Me and Stan Hansen just lost the PWF tag belts to Jumbo Tsuruta and Yoshiaki Yatsu, but we don’t plan on gettin’ out of here until they’re back around our waists. You know, I don’t have time for all this crap with Buddy Jack. If he wants to waste his time fighting me and P.S., let him. But he wants to come to Japan, he’ll be coming a long way for a whuppin’.”

If the heartbreaker crew played video games what rooms everyone's favorites be (or if they do play video games?? @eddie do you have games on your you) what's their favourite candy flavours? What's your favourite detail about each of them?

Eddie's a counterstrike oldhead. White likes boomer shooters. I have to imagine Felix would go for deck builders or anything in the "wholesome" realm. Zeki will go for anything that give him an excuse to take some stimulants and make spreadsheets

Candies is hard... Eddie likes bitter stuff, so dark chocolate maybe. Similarly, I think Zeki would go for any chocolate with fruit in it for the drama. White will take all of your blue raspberry jolly ranchers. Felix, I'm not sure... something un-american like black currant probably

Favorite details... there's so many... Let me pick some out of a hat. When it comes to what's badass, White has the sensibilities of a ten year old boy. Zeki has a weighted body pillow that is just a giant plush centipede. Felix is built like a bruiser and fights like one, but he's super well trained with a sword. Something I've done more with Eddie lately is given him some "antiquated" (old? 70's sleaze? for lack of a better word?) kinks- there's something charming to me about a middle-aged-to-old guy being turned on by leather, motorcycles, patent stilettos, steamy phone calls, and full body hair. he's cute to me

[torra-and-the-toons]

If you have any, what is your headcanon on the type of pets the Cul-De-Sac kids would own? I always imagined Kevin having this big rottweiler who looks mean but she is just a big sweet heart who will slobber you and the worst she'll do is tackle you in a hug. I know Double-Dee has his plants and ant farm but I can see him with a 2 ferrets. What about you?

I've mentioned Isaac before, I don't remember the extent to which I've talked about him! I like to imagine, since it was stated in "Take this Ed and Shove It," that Double Dee owns a cat in his old age, I figured he might own others throughout his younger life too! I thought it would be fun to continue a trend of him naming his cats after famous people of intelligence so I made him a cat named Isaac, who actually plays a minor role in ch2 of the comic! And may eventually have a comic of his own depicting how Double Dee found him.

As for the others, I agree with you on Kevin. Some kind of big bruiser dog, maybe even a pittie since those dogs are known for supposedly being "dangerous breeds" but actually having the biggest hearts. I could see Eddy's parents getting a little mutt terrier and Eddy pretends like he hates them but he can't help but to fall in love.

I could see Ed getting some kind of bearded dragon or a lizard of some kind since he's like allergic to everything else XD It would be the only thing he takes better care of than himself.

Honestly it would be really funny if Jonny kept a racoon as a pet, or some weird wild creature he found as a baby and nurtured back to health, but can't release it back to the wild. Maybe a squirrel.

Rolf already has a ton of animals but it would be fun if he got a really well trained Sheepdog for the farm, like nothing can faze this dog.

Getting to the point in the G1 where I’m prioritizing what matches to watch immediately, then checking out the other ones I’m interested in later. And man. I’m really into the storytelling of Gabe Kidd and Yuya Uemura.

There’s the wrestlers who I knew are must see and we expect them to do great (ZSJ, Takeshita, Shingo, Cobb), but this G1 is really to highlight new stars and see new potential, and Kidd and Yuya have really grabbed me. I already liked Gabe before, but he’s cemented himself for me I think. And Yuya’s presentation/booking has been really inconsistent lately so idk what to feel about him coming into this.

But they’ve been my mvps as I’m watching. I think it’s because they feel kinda old school in a way? Just really strong basic understanding of how to be a good black and white heel/face without coming off like a cartoon character or using irony or cheap heat or overdone; they feel genuine and simple. Gabe is a very extra character, but I feel like he’s dialed it down, and you can believe a guy like him exists irl in a fashion like how Eddie Kingston is extra but you know guys like Eddie exist. Whereas you see heels like EVIL or MJF, they’re very cartoony or super evil (pardon the pun). Their movesets reflect this too, like, Gabe’s a classic ground based brawler in the same vein as Hanson, Steve Williams, Bruiser Brody etc. Yuya feels like a firey young shonen protagonist come to life but not annoying, almost like a young Tanahashi but in a different flavor. Not very flashy movesets, but they know how to use them well and act very well in the ring. It’s refreshing in the current climate, not to say modern wrestling is bad, but I love the variety these two offer right now.

I still think they both need to develop/flesh out their act more, but I desperately want to see them have a long term rivalry. Gabe kinda already has a feud in a similar fashion of brawler heel vs pure babyface with Shota, but idk I love Shota but Yuya’s babyface performance has blown the young guys out of the park for me personally. Gabe’s already cooking with Shota so just imagine him going up against a fully formed Yuya. I’m really excited for the future of njpw

Tommy & Bruiser Part 10

Title: Tommy & Bruiser Fandom(s): 9-1-1 Relationships: Evan Buckley/Tommy Kinard, Temporary Tommy Kinard/Other Men, Background Pairings Tags: Tommy Adopts A Dog, Fluff, Getting Together Warnings: Canon-Typical Violence, Explicit Sex, Discussion of Domestic Violence, Discussion of Stalking, Discussion of Harassment Summary: Tommy's life changes when he meets a shivering mess during a fire. Word Count: 118 for each day Author Notes: For @118dailydrabble

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9

Day 55-Mayday

"Mayday, mayday, Bruiser down," Tommy said as he looked at his dog. 

Eddie laughed a little too hard at the joke as Bruiser tried to get up from where he had gotten tangled in the blanket he had tried to run with. 

"Your dog is..." Eddie pursed his lips before he took a drink of his beer. 

"A dumbass, but sometimes I am as well. He's mine, so I have to claim him."

"How did he survive you getting a cat?"

"Oh, no. That's his cat. He kept feeding her after her mother died. For days, making sure that she got food and shit. He snuck things to her. I couldn't help but take her in after that."

Day 56-Captain

Tommy laughed as his captain tried to figure out what to do with Bruiser dropping Princess in his lap. It was priceless to see the way the man was trying not to react strangely.

Jake laughed as he sat down beside Tommy. 

"Bruiser decided that Remy is okay enough to be around Princess, huh?" 

"That dog is going to get me put on YouTube again."

Jake laughed, not at all repentant about it. 

Remy looked up and found Tommy. "Kinard, what am I supposed to do with this kitten?"

"Give her love. My dog has adopted you, be happy about it. He hates most people. He barely tolerates Eddie." 

The look on Remy's face said he wasn't happy. 

Day 57-Avoid

"You can't avoid me forever," Tommy said as he looked at Bruiser, hiding under the blankets on the bed. 

Tommy hadn't brought Evan here for their date nor after the coffee date. Tommy had brought along a shirt from Evan because they had ended up spending the day together, and Evan had gotten ice cream on his shirt. The shirt had ended up in Tommy's truck. Which had then come inside, and then it had disappeared. 

It had been found a day later hidden under Bruiser's blanket in his bed, where Bruiser loved to sleep. 

And now Bruiser was pissed at him for taking it away from him. 

"You are horrible." Tommy laughed when Bruiser braked in indignation.

Day 58-Sink

"Have I sunk so low that I am going to bribe a dog into liking me?" Evan asked Tommy as they approached the front door of Tommy's house. 

"Well, he's part of my life, and if he doesn't like you, then you have to go," Tommy said as he unlocked the door and pushed it open.

Princess was the first to make it to the door. She skidded to a stop, staring at them before she took off again. 

Bruiser was next and reacted nothing like Tommy thought he would. Bruiser started to bark, but it wasn't his get away bark but his "I Love You" bark that was reserved for him, Jake, and Miriam. Not a stranger.

Day 59-Flight

It was like Bruiser was taking flight as he jumped and tried to get into Evan's arms.

"Oh my God," Evan said before he crouched and picked up Bruiser, letting him lick his face. "My favorite puppy."

Tommy raised an eyebrow at that. He shoved Evan and Bruiser inside before shutting the door. 

Jake came out of the bac,k and his eyes were wide as he took that in.

"Hey, Jake," Evan said.

"Buck. I..." Jake shut his mouth before he started to laugh. "This is Evan?"

Tommy nodded.

"He's the guy at the other park that Bruiser loves. I've been taking him weekly when I can."

This was going to be interesting. For all of them.

Day 60-Karma

It was karma. That was all that Tommy could think about, given how much Bruiser now favored Evan. There was no in-between. If Tommy was alone, Bruiser was all over him, but as soon as Evan was in the house, Bruiser didn't want to be out of Evan's arms or his lap, ever. 

Tommy reached out to touch Evan's stomach and got a growl for his trouble because Buiser was in Evan's lap.

"Stop that," Evan said and he glared at Bruiser. 

Bruiser stopped and looked innocent but still looked at Tommy with a mean look. 

Tommy had thought this would happen the other way around. The only saving grace was that Princess wasn't keen on Evan yet.

Extra-Panic

Tommy panicked because he couldn't find Bruiser. Bruiser was nowhere in the house. Not the normal hiding spots or the strange ones. He had even gone and looked around all the plants in the yard. 

He had been pouting because Evan wasn't around nearly as much as the dog wanted. Evan was helping with the final preparations for the wedding and the bachelor party. 

Tommy picked up the hamper and carried it to the mud room to get a load started.

He tipped the basket over and started pulling out stuff to drop in, hitting something warm. Tommy righted the basket and pulled the clothes out. He didn't even want to know how Bruiser had got in there.

Number of times I had to force my dad to accept the fact that it's no longer the 80s and just because he enjoyed a wrestler's work during his childhood, it doesn't mean they're still the most beloved: 3, and he's still bitter

Beloved By Gender:

Our ratio is keeping pretty steady. There was a change of 2% between rounds 3 and 4 in favor of the female wrestlers.

Voting Trends:

Round 4 had a low vote count day of 534 and the highest count day of 747, making the average 636.9 votes per day (discounting final day), more than extra 80 votes per day beyond Round 3’s average of 550.8

(Keep in mind, number of brackets change on the final day)

Public Opinion:

There's fewer than 20 wrestlers left in this tournament who had successful WWE careers before the 2000s. This tournament would make Cornette's face melt off

The AJ Styles Phenomenon:

I don't know if this is just an incredible coincidence, but for the final 3 rounds, AJ Styles has earned exactly 46 votes. In Round 2, it was 46/50 against Raymond Rougeau. In Round 3, 46/56 against D'Lo Brown. In Round 4, 46/69 against Kane. Based on the data I've seen, he is the only wrestler this has happened to. A few have had the same number of votes twice in a row, but never thrice.

Which begs the question: are there exactly 46 tumblr users who are fans of AJ Styles?

Kevin started to spread the word that Edd was challenged to face Jimmy at The Pit. Even Sarah and Nazz were getting worried. Ed, on the other hand was trying to replace Edd with Double G, an egg with the same beanie as Double D while Eddy brought him to The Pit, while Jonny carried them.

"Out of the way, make room, best friend of the school bruiser coming through! So move if you know what's good for you!" Eddy shouted to the group as Edd checked his watch, bored. "Jimmy, are you crazy? He's gonna turn you into cold cuts!" Sarah said to Jimmy worried. "Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, Sarah!" Jimmy said to his friend.

"Spare the cliches, twerp, 'cause Double D's gonna mop the floor with that curly head of yours!" Eddy shouted to Jimmy. "You still have time to yield to your inevitable fate of losing to me, Jimmy. Make haste, before I change my mind!" Edd spoke going on with Jimmy's plan. "The pasty boy is done for!" Rolf spoke. "I got your knuckle sandwich with a side of black eye right here!" Jimmy shouted to Edd. "Poor Jimmy!" Nazz spoke with worry.

Hikari was helping Double D with the chick egg project in the science lab. She decorated hers with a bow and a diaper.

"Greetings, fellow Cluckers!" Edd shouted using a megaphone. "The Happy Cluckers Club is now called to order." He said examining an egg under an incubator thoroughly.

Jonny sweats as Edd looks it over. "Egg-ceptional progress, Jonny." Edd congratulated.

"Right on! We're gonna have us a family, buddy!" Jonny shouted to Plank, happily. "And what do we have here?" Edd asked about Hikari's egg. "Your egg looks adorable as you, Hikari. A perfect match." Edd smiled.
