Oh I was living my best life while seeing Nicki. I had a blast and she put on a show. This was my first time seeing her and it for sure won't be the last. I have loved her since 2009 when I heard two classmates rapping itty bitty piggy. I have always loved female rap since I was young and there was no one popping off at that time then Nicki came to save female rap. It was such an emotional moment. ❤️

Some thoughts while I'm watching Nerdy Prudes Must Die for the first time:

After the Big Game, something that's been itching my brain for a while came back- Clivesdale. Hatchet Town is reinforcing this, but since Black Friday and Honey Queen the Clivesdale hate has really started to stand out to me. Yes it's a funny gag, but the Hatchetfield disdain for Clivesdale is straight-up cultish. Laura Cunningham (I think was her name?) had lived in Hatchetfield for 15 years, but was entirely excommunicated when it came out that she was from Clivesdale. Keep in mind, she was well-liked enough to be a Honey Queen candidate. Two teenagers are brutally murdered and everyone is more focused on the loss against the Chemists. Even people who hate Hatchetfield like Emma and Ziggy hate Clivesdale more. The general population of Hatchetfield is so feverish. I know that the Wiggly doll riots happened all over the world, but holy SHIT it didn't take any time at all for Hatchetfield to totally cave in on itself!

Here's the other thing that gets me- has anyone ever really left Hatchetfield? Anyone who wanted to?

•Emma Perkins has exactly one life goal- not to die in Hatchetfield. Her entire life had been, up until Jane's death, about getting away from Hatchetfield. She is officially pronounced dead after the explosion at Starlight Theatre, though she survived in Clivesdale Hospital. She only lived for a couple weeks after "dying" in Hatchetfield. She also dies almost immediately after returning to her hometown in the events of Forever and Always. She does not die after the fire at her weed farm, but she is arrested and presumably imprisoned in Hatchetfield.

•Frank Pricely is imprisoned by Sherman Young after his attempted escape.

•Alice Woodward dies in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals before she can leave for college. In fact, she dies after skipping the bus to Clivesdale

•Lex and Hannah Foster (along with Ethan Greene) have plans to escape Hatchetfield and head to California. All of them die before they can even get past Nantucket bridge.

•Zoey Chambers wants to win Honey Queen for the funds to get out of Hatchetfield. In both Honey Queen and The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals she dies before she has the chance to leave.

•Jonathan Brisby attempts to retrieve Lucy Stockworth from Hatchetfield. Brisby dies in the woods, Lucy disappears in the same woods with the Woolyfoot.

•Jenny and Andy planned to move to Clivesdale, but Jenny dies before she can leave, and by the time Andy becomes Andrew Killgore he's back at CCRP in Hatchetfield. Obviously this is wobbly because of timeline shenanigans, but it's implied that Ted didn't actually cross timelines during the events of Time Bastard, just fucked around in his own a lot.

There's just something. There's something about Hatchetfield. It's like a black hole. If it wants you there, and it does, you always end up there, and it's not likely you'll leave a second time.

Something about the ambient affects of the town absolutely fascinates me, I've been thinking about this stuff for like 5 years and it's not gotten old to me yet

joel miller gives his whiskey girl a gift.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

✿ | joel miller | 1.06k | ❛ whiskey girl - toby keith ❜ | part one

warnings: pre outbreak!joel miller. drinking. allude to sex. age gap.

note: who knows when im gonna post again lol stay tuned for part two tho

❝ just ain’t enough good burn in tequila, she needs somethin’ with a little more edge and a little more pain ❞

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

JOEL MILLER LIKED HIS GIRLS LIKE HE LIKED HIS DRINKS.

　Strong, neat, and not cheap enough to make him gag.

　That’s why he liked you: a farmer’s granddaughter majoring in agriculture who worked hard for what she had and knew the value of respecting those around her without being walked over. A little ragged on the edges, but Joel liked ‘em rough.

　Same could be said for you. You liked Joel for the same reasons he fawned over you. He was charming, and assiduous, with enough edge worn into his features to draw you in at the drop of a dime.

　So, when you invited Joel to a local dive bar on an eventless friday night, he sure as hell wasn’t going to say no. It was rare for you both to be free; usually he was working late, or you had classes, or tests, or were helping on the farm.

　He saw your worn mustang parked by the entrance, and spotted you instantaneously as he walked inside. A welcoming aura surrounded you as you chatted with some old men, presumably other farmers who knew you from your last name and came in for a drink after a sweltering day of plowing fields. Your smile gleamed under the warm lights of the bar, and Joel couldn’t help it as his lips curled into a smile just from looking at you.

　“Haven’t been making you wait long, have i?” He drawled as he sauntered up to you, hand making it’s way into the back pocket of your jeans, pulling you closer to him.

　You directed your smile his way before bidding your goodbyes to the old folks. “‘Course not, Miller. You know that if you did, i would’ve given you hell as soon as you set foot in the door.”

　Joel chuckled, running his free hand through his messy hair. “Fair enough, darlin’. You need a drink?”

　“Please,” You replied, and Joel put two fingers in his mouth, throwing a loud whistle at the bartender.

　“Can i get a beer and a, uh,” He glanced over to you for a moment, deep eyes meeting your own, before a smirked danced across his features, “…a whiskey, neat, for my girl, please.”

　You couldn’t help as your cheeks warmed at his words. My girl. You rolled your eyes, turning your face away from him so that he couldn’t see the ruddy heat spreading across your face.

　The two of you didn’t have a label. You drank together, you kissed, you fucked. You’d make dinner for him and his daughter, and he’d take you for drives at sunset down empty country roads, radio blasting through the open heat waves as you yelled gleefully out the windows.

　Still, anyone who looked at you and Joel knew there was something there, even when his hand wasn’t in your back pocket or your fingers were grasping his forearm. You were his girl. And he was your guy. No denomination necessary.

　One whiskey turned to three before you were singing along to the jukebox in the corner of the bar, holding up invisible microphones to random folks who’d join you in your performance. Joel watched, amused, as you twirled around to the twang of the guitar blaring through the speakers. His smile grew as you crept closer to him, pretending to reel him in to dance with you like a fish caught on a worm.

　Little did you know that you already had him from the moment he met you. Hook, line, and sinker.

　His hand found yours as he gave in, not much of a dancer, but eager to spin you around. You let him lead you, swaying to the pace of the music, pulling you closer to him as the tempo continued on.

　He pulled you flush against him. Forgetting the music, forgetting the dancing, forgetting the watching eyes. He kissed you, a passionate catch of the lips that left you craving more, the dull glow of amber above you acting like a spotlight that shone on you and Joel solely.

▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

　Joel couldn’t help himself as reached a hand up and drew a sloppy happy face on the fogged up windows of your mustang. Your head laid on his bare chest as you both fought to catch your breath, crickets chirping loudly in the farm field, audible even through the barrier of your car.

　You felt him bury his nose in your hair, breathing in the smell of you. Vanilla, and sweet musk, and whiskey. He felt you smile against his pec, eyes stealing a glance up to meet his.

　“I have a present for you,” He spoke suddenly, voice worn and husky.

　“Better than the way you just fucked me?” You joked with a light chuckle, feeling his arm move as he went to fish something out of his jeans that had fell on the floor of your backseat.

　He held the gift in his large hand before opening his palm to you to reveal a small wooden box. His fingers inched it open, and inside was a thin-banded ring with a dainty diamond in the middle.

　You turned dreadfully quiet as you stared at the band, and an anxious prickle crept over Joel’s skin.

　You raised yourself off his chest, turning to look at him. “Joel, if you’re proposing to me before even asking me to be your girlfriend, then i’m going to chuck this out into the field.”

　“What?” He laughed, inching so that he was sitting upright. “No, no, it’s a promise ring,” He said, plucking the jewellery out of the box and grabbing your hand, pushing it delicately onto your ring finger.

　“Ever since Sarah’s mom up and left, datin’ has been hard. I didn’t even wanna look at another woman—“ Joel’s deep eyes met yours, and you felt your heart swell, “—Until i met you.”

　“I don’t want t’distract you from your studies,” He continued, “But you’re my girl, and i want everyone to know it.”

　There it was again. My girl. Your pulse raced as you kissed him eagerly, full of adoration. Joel could still taste the smooth relish of whiskey on your breath.

　You smiled at him euphorically as you pulled away, words leaving your lips before you could even register the weight of them. “I love you, Joel.”

　Joel’s thumb stroked your cheek affectionately, returning your grin. “I love you too, my little whiskey girl.”

Horror Comedy of the Day: Leprechaun (1993)

1983, North Dakota. Dan O'Grady comes back from a trip overseas with a pot full of gold. Shortly after showing this to his wife, she gets murdered, for the true owner of this treasure followed him all the way. You see, in Ireland there's an old legend that talks of a pot of gold you can find at the end of the rainbow. If you manage to get there, it's yours to keep. But you got to be careful: the fae folk known as the Leprechaun will come for you to take it back.

10 years later, a teenage girl called Tory Redding, who's renting the farm house with her family has to fend this same creature off, as he has escaped the crate he was trapped in.

No, you read that correctly: someone made the old Irish folk tale you most likely associate with the Lucky Charms cereal into a horror film. One where Jennifer Aniston is fighting off Warwick Davis of Willow (1988) fame. And the end result is... kind of a glorious, silly mess.

As the film underwent production, it changed the tone multiple times, going from a more straightforward slasher film to a comedy film that might qualify for a PG rating, only to inject back some gore late in production. The pastiche shows: it's has the same kind of simplistic logic and gags you'd expect from a kids movie down to the musical score, while also being punctuated by (infrequent) blood levels that wouldn't be out of place in Friday the 13th, with the occasional burst of profanity on top.

But of course, we got to talk about the titular character: among an enthusiastic but not very robust cast, Warwick Davis took the role after a slow period in his career to show he had more range than the well meaning Nelwyn; he very clearly had a blast playing the smug, conniving little trickster, chewing the scenery wherever the opportunity arose.

It borders on being infantile but charmingly so, being very much unashamed of its ridiculousness. Fuck you, Lucky Charms indeed.

Authors Note: I wasn't gonna start posting this until I finished one of my many ongoing fics, but… The release of "Luca" in theatres last week, and the upcoming release of "Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire" were such a good opportunity to let it pass, so enjoy!

Also, I wanna thank @ironychan for allowing me to use their Oc's and set this on the same timeline as some of her fics, like:

"Three Little Monsters"

"Famiglia"

"A Little Human" which in itself is a combination of the previous two.

Things to take into account: Giulia and Massimo are sea monsters thanks to a genie, Ercole becomes one thanks to a spell, Ciccio has a sea monster girlfriend, and Alberto has an extended family in Napoli.

Chapter 1: Tragic Being.

"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy." —Ishir⁠ō Honda.

It was late at night when old Tommaso and his son-in-law, Giacomo, were out at sea fishing; ever since Alberto had come to live with Massimo, his business was better than ever; having a sea monster as a partner increased the catching. 

So, the men wanted to take advantage of the night when the Marcovaldo duo was asleep to increase their trawling.

As they arrived at the spot, Tomasso put out their new record player while Giacomo prepared for fishing. 

"We should have our eyes open for sea monsters," Giacomo said as he picked the float to put the net through the winch.

Tommaso stopped before placing the needle on the disc and looked at him before the two burst into laughter; ever since that summer just two years ago, sea monsters have become so usual in Portorrosso that it was weird to think the town once hated them, even if this had raised tensions with the nearest town, San Guisseppe, people there were still not sure how to feel about their aquatic neighbors.

Even Luca, Alberto, and Giulia were still afraid of going back after the little incident where they were exposed as sea monsters in front of everybody, and then the town pretty much hunted them. Even with the reassurance of Signor Giglioli, the old man who helped them when nobody else did, they doubted of ever coming back.

But even so, Portorroso had become a safe space where connivance was possible, and mostly everyone was happy about this; those who had refused to accept sea monsters at first were warming up to them, and if the number one hater of sea monsters himself, Ercole Visconti, became one that time, anything was possible.

"All do," Tommaso added after laughing, "Massimo told me Alberto and Giulia like to sleep over at Luca's house; we  should  be careful in case they're swimming around here."

Giacomo nodded as he began pulling the net inside the boat; it wasn't that big of a catch, but they would return empty-handed.

"Do you remember that night? When we accidentally caught him on the net?" 

His father-in-law nodded.

"How he shooked the boat! I was afraid he was gonna sink us!" Giacomo continued.

"Oh yeah! He's a strong boy for his age, no doubt."

"And the way he jumped! He completely passed over us!" At the time, he had been scared to death of him, but now he admitted Alberto had been pretty cool that time.

"I'm just glad he's a good boy, all do; we should still keep him out of our boat, especially at night."

This made the two laugh, as it was a common gag after Alberto accidentally burned Massimo's boat that one time.

"He still beats us at fishing do," admitted Tomaso at seeing the few fishes they caught.

Giacomo denied it with the head.

"Maybe we need to look for a better spot," he said as he prepared to start the engine.

The waves began to shiver, violently rocking the boat to the sides; both men screamed as they grabbed the ship to not fall; water entered the deck, and many objects fell to the ground; Tomaso's finger pushed the needle, and the record began to play:

On the farm, every Friday

On the farm, it's rabbit pie day.

But that wasn't the weirdest thing; the waters began to shine in a strange neon green light illuminating the vessel; Giacomo looked over the border and peaked at the light; his eyes opened wide: it was coming from the sea, but what in God's name was that?!

Another tremor stronger than the last one, made the two fall to the floor as they screamed in terror. 

  So, every Friday that ever comes along,

I get up early and sing this little song

The tremble stopped, and nothing else was heard except for the rapid breathing of both.

"What was that?!" Asked Tommaso; despite his old age, he immediately stood up and stopped the player; the song wasn't helping the moment. 

"I don't know!" Giacomo replied, standing up and pointing a finger at the sea, "But the waters... they were shining!" 

Tomasso looked at him as if he was crazy.

"I swear, look..." but the bright was gone; there was nothing more than regular waters, a little shaky from the sea trembling. 

Giacomo looked at him again.

"I swear; I..."

Tomaso just raised a hand.

"Let's... get out of here! Whatever it was, it's over, we should better check Viola is safe."

Giacomo nodded; that seemed the perfect plan; maybe the light was just in his head. 

Tommaso picked up the stuff that had fallen while Giacomo prepared to start the engine, but in that, he saw ahead; there was an enormous rock a few meters apart from  Isola del Mare.  

The man squinted one eye; he had fished around that area for years and had never seen that rock; it was curved towards the front, spike-like scutes; it looked like a reversed shark fin.

He walked to the front for a better look; the rock was also huge, at less than 10 meters tall. 

How was that possible? Where the hell had it come from?

Tomaso finished putting a tool over a box; he looked up and noticed his companion looking ahead instead of starting the motor.

"Giacomo!" He scolded him but saw no reaction from his son-in-law, so he looked ahead; his entire body froze.

"That... was not there before," he declared.

Giacomo could only nod.

They kept still, looking at that strange gravel that came out of nowhere; could it be related to the seaquake? 

The rock swam ahead.

The two screamed and backed down; Giacomo stumbled on a screwdriver and fell while Tomaso grabbed onto the cabin. 

The rock swam until it reached the island, and in their way, Tomaso noticed that it wasn't just one rock; behind it, there was another, and several more ran in a straight line, with smaller ones at the bottom. 

"Dorsal fins,"  he thought,  "but that would mean..."

At reaching the island, the creature began to rise; it looked like a lizard, but it stood on two legs and possessed a seemingly vestigial toe on the back of the foot and three dinosaur-like toes. 

In fact, it looked like a T-Rex, but its scaly arms were long and muscular, with four fingers and sharp claws; it also had fins on its arms, and they were sharp-edged like knives. 

The mouth was big and long, almost like the one of a crocodile, with two keen canines sticking out of the jaws. It also had fins on top of the head with two white horns.  

Its eyes were green. 

The creature was purple, but some of the scales on the arms were deep sea blue. 

And it's size... 25 feet (7.6) tall at best.

Tomaso's eyes opened as wide as they could; never in his life had he seen such a creature; it was almost unbelievable to see a being of that dimension, and it looked scary as hell.

Giacomo was picking himself up when he noticed the monster while Tomaso backed up with a hand on his chest. Giacomo saw the state of his father-in-law and quickly held him from the back, afraid he was collapsing.

"What is that?" Was all the old mand could say, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" 

Giacomo couldn't respond, as his eyes were on the demon. Even now that he was used to sea monsters, nothing compared to that thing! It was on another level!

The beast walked out of the water, closed its eyes, and trembled to the sides, shaking its head; it almost looked confused. His big legs were enough for it to reach the tower in seconds. The structure was small in his comparison. The monster leaned both hands on the tower, and the building collapsed under his weight. 

The creature screamed in surprise as it fell along the construction and landed on the remains. 

The two screamed again; that thing crushed the tower as if it were made of cards!

The fins of the ears moved to the sea, and the creature raised its head and looked at the water; its eyes opened wide as he noticed the boat. 

"BRRANNK!" The monster roared and stood up, beginning to run to the sea.

Both men screamed, and Giacomo had to let go of his elder to run down the deck to start the engine; that thing was coming from them! They have to get out of there! 

Tomaso didn´t fall to the ground but instead went inside the cabin to ride out of there; on his way, he pushed the box where the gramophone was resting, and the needle came down as the song began to play again:

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Bang, bang, bang, bang goes the farmer's gun

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run, run

"GIACOMO! START THE ENGINE!" 

"I'M TRYING! I'M TRYING!" 

The monster entered the water and submerged, but its horns and dorsal fins were still visible and were heading straight to them. It was frightening how much it resembled a shark.

The engine finally started.

"LET'S GO!"

Tomaso only nodded as he turned the rudder; the boat moved to the front, but it quickly spun before heading to Portorosso; unfortunately, the fins were getting closer.

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Don't give the farmer his fun, fun, fun

He'll get by without his rabbit pie

So run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

The monster was fast, as it was quickly catching up with them.

"FASTER!" Screamed Giacomo, looking behind his back.

"I CAN'T!" Cried Tomaso, they were going at full speed.

The creature raised its head, peeking out of the water; it looked directly at them and opened its mouth, then closed it. 

"IT WANTS TO EAT US!" Tomaso yelled, "IT WANTS TO EAT US!"

The creature continually opened and closed its mouth, trying to bite the boat, and it was closing on them; it would be over them in no time.

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Bang, bang, bang, bang goes the farmer's gun

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run, run

A few inches were the distance apart; Giacomo looked desperately in every direction for something to defend themselves. The monster was getting closer, and the man could notice the jaws of that nightmare: sharp and long shark like teeth were waiting for them. Without a second thought, Giacomo began to throw every box, tool, and rope he could find; everything hit the monster in the nose, but nothing happened; the creature moved forward as nothing. 

Defeated, Giacomo backed to the cabin; they were gonna die.

But Tomaso had his eyes up front; he could see the beach, they were almost home. Maybe with the help of the entire town, they could defeat that demon.

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Don't give the farmer his fun, fun, fun

He'll get by without his rabbit pie

So run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

The boat finally reached the port, and both men got out as fast as they could and ran up the stairs to the  plaza . On their way, they hit the gramophone, and it fell, making the song stuck:

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Behind them, they could hear that creature move through the water.

Once they reached the place, they noticed that many of the townsfolk had gathered there; many were in their pajamas with lanterns in hand, looking confused and scared. One of them was Viola herself; when she saw her father and husband, she sighed in relief but quickly passed when she saw their faces.

"Dad? Giacomo? What's going on? There was an earthquake, and then we heard something; it was almost as..."

But she couldn't finish as Giacomo grabbed her by the arms.

"WE NEED TO RUN!" He yelled.

She looked at him as if he was crazy, but another shake was felt.

CRASH!

The song stopped; many screams of terror were heard as everybody shook to the sides. 

"What's going on?!" Someone else screamed. 

"It is an earthquake?!" Another yelled.

"Alberto! Giulia! Luca! Has someone seen them?!"

Chaos began to take control of everybody, as no one knew what was happening. No one except for Tomaso, who looked at the beach.

"There!" He screamed as he pointed towards the sea.

Everybody looked in that direction, where the monster had already arrived; all the lights were put on, and the creature roared, causing a burst of screams. 

Many couldn't hold themselves and fell, while others grabbed their children and began to run uphill; the creature looked down at them and shrieked again, then stopped and looked at its throat, taking boat hands to it. He shouted again and again, almost looking desperate. But no one noticed this as many fled the scene or were looking for weapons.

The creature roared one more time before setting foot on the  plaza , opening a big hole in the ground; the earth shook, the windows of buildings broke, and many of those escaping plummeted.

"HELP! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP US!"

"RUN! IT'S COMING THIS WAY!"

"IT'S ALIVE IT'S HUGE!"

The monster looked in all directions until it turned around, and the tail hit the shops  Trattoria Da Marina,  the  Bar Giotto,  and several other buildings, reducing them to pieces.

Part of the rubble flew in all directions, impacting the ground like missiles; some folks had to dodge the ruins to not be crushed. 

The creature opened his eyes, and he was surprised at what it had done. He grabbed the rubbish and threw it into the sea before looking over its shoulders; the Pescheria was behind it.

The monster smiled and began walking to the fish shop.

...

Massimo didn't know what was happening. That day had begun like any other; Luca and Giulia were back in town, and even Helena had come to visit for the summer. His nephew and daughter made the deliveries and helped at the Pescheria. Then Luca came to visit; when night fell, Alberto and Giulia asked him to spend the night at Luca's house. 

They agreed as it had happened a thousand times; they knew it was safe, and there was no reason to think otherwise.

But then, everything changed.

A few hours later, he was in the kitchen going on his finances when his wife told him she was heading to bed.

"You sure you don't wanna come?" Helena asked.

"I'll be there in a minute," Massimo responded without looking at her.

Helena rolled her eyes but smiled, the same old Massimo. She wished him good night when the earthquake started. 

Everything in the house moved up and down, the lights flickered, and the coins Massimo had over the table fell. Helena had to hold on to the wall to avoid falling. 

Massimo looked at her, but she just nodded; there was no reason to panic they just had to wait until it had passed.

The shaking ended, and they exchanged glances before running to hug each other.

"Let's not put our guard down," Massimo said once they departed, "there could still be an aftershock."

Helena nodded as they both exited the Pescheria. Out in the plaza, many were gathered looking in all directions with lights in their hands. There didn't seem to be any damage, and no one seemed injured, fortunately, it had only been the scare.

Pietrina, the young lady who used to mind the shop on weekdays, noticed the Marcovaldos and smiled, then walked to them.

"Signor and Signora Marcovaldo! Thank God you're safe!"

"Thank you, Pietrina, we're glad you're also safe. What about your parents?"

"They are all fine as well, thank you for asking," she then looked to both sides, "what was that?" 

"An earthquake, but that's weird, it has never trembled here before."

Pietrina opened her mouth to speak but then shouted when  that  has heard.

BRRANNK!

Everyone fell silent; they had never heard anything like that. It made Helena so scared that she backed down and held Massimo´s hand.

"What was that noise?" 

"It sounded like an animal."

Helena looked at Massimo, but he denied it; he had lived all his life at sea, and in all those years, he had never heard anything like that; plus, the magnitude a beast needed to have to make a sound like that was massive, and animals of that size didn't inhabit those waters.

SMASH!

Something else broke, it sounded like bricks coming down. People screamed once again, the sound didn't come from town, so it would probably be coming from Isola del Mare. 

This made Massimo raise both eyebrows as he looked at Pietrina.

"Find your parents, stick together in case we need to evacuate."

The teenager nodded as she ran to find them, whatever it was, it couldn't be good. Massimo then looked at Helena.

"Go find shelter."

"What about you?"

"I need to find the kids and make sure they're safe."

Helena squeezed his hand harder.

"I'm coming with you!" She said, determined.

But he shook his head.

"The last we knew is they were at Luca's house, if they are underwater you can't come."

Helena was about to argue but shut up, he was right about that, she bit her lip before looking at him in the eyes.

"Please, be careful."

Massimo nodded, he was about to head to the beach as Helena asked if someone had seen the kids when that  thing  appeared.

Everybody was familiar with sea monsters by now; heck, Massimo had become one himself, and Ciccio and Ercole had experienced what it felt like to be one.

But nothing could have prepared anyone for what they saw.

This was a monster, not in the same sense they used it to refer to Luca and the other of his kind. No. This thing was a monster.

Its size and appearance were frightening, something that could only come out of the worst of nightmares. 

Even with all his bravery and strength, Massimo couldn't do much but stare at the demon. Until he felt the hand of his wife over his shoulder. Massimo looked at Helena, who had both eyes on that thing and was pale. That made him wake up; he needed to react and put his wife to safety before looking for the kids.

Then, he will try to defend the town from that monster and make sure Alberto, Giulia and Luca were safe.

He took Helena by one arm and began to pull her uphill, as the creature was advancing more into town. 

The creature's steps made the earth shake again, but they managed to hold on to their feet.

"Massimo!" Helena tried to complain as they climbed through a corridor, the same one where Luca and Alberto tried to escape Ercole.

"Run to the higher ground! I'll be right behind you!" He ordered.

"But..."

CRASH!

Some buildings collapsed at the tail's hit, and the rubbish was coming over them. Massimo opened his eyes and pushed himself and Helena to the ground, at the same time debris fell behind them, raising smoke. Helena screamed while Massimo peeked back at the Plaza; the monster was advancing towards the Pescheria.

Massimo raised both eyebrows.

"Not our house,"  he thought before letting go of Helena.

"Run! As far as you can!" He screamed as he ran back to the main street.  

Helena was about to protest, but then she heard more crying; she saw the other side of the street and noticed a small girl in tears hiding behind a barrel.

"Mommy! MOMMY!"  

Helena bit her lip; she reminded her of Giulia when she was little. She looked one more time in the direction Massimo had gone. 

He was a grown-up, and the best man she had ever met, so she decided to trust him. If someone could take on that monster, it was him, so she stood up and ran to that girl to take her in her arms.

"Don't be scared! We'll be alright! We'll be alright!" said as she caressed the little girl's back.

"SIGNORA MARCOVALDO!" Someone screamed.

Helena looked up and noticed Pietrina, covered in dust but with no injuries.

"This way! Come on!" She pointed up front.

Helena nodded as she began to climb again.

...

As Massimo entered the plaza, he looked at the monster; it was standing in front of the  Pescheria; it roared as it peaked with its head at the building.

Massimo made a fist.

He couldn't get inside the house for his harpoon with that monster watching over. 

"Massimo!" Someone yelled.

The fisherman looked to his right side and noticed Giacomo running in his direction, harpoon in hand.

He smiled; even if many had decided to get rid of their harpoons ever since sea monsters became welcomed into town, there were still those who kept them, Massimo being one of them. 

Just because sea monsters were friendly, that didn't mean all the creatures from the sea were, and they needed something to defend themselves. Even Daniela had agreed to this, and Massimo had gifted a harpoon, which came in handy when a squid attacked the community one time.

And now, they had to do the same.

Giacomo threw the weapon at him and Massimo caught it in the air; he smiled, and behind Giacomo many more men and women were coming with harpoons and nets.

"Go for the legs!" Massimo ordered, "We'll make him fall and then go for it's neck!" Cutting an animal's throat was the quickest way to bleed it out. 

Everybody nodded as they ran to the monster. 

The creature seemed disappointed at not finding anything at the  Pescheria, but the footsteps and screams made it look in their direction. Massimo could swear the creature landed eyes on him and...

Smiled.

As if it was happy to see him.

This made him stop to have a better look at it; the monster roared again as it turned its colossal body to face him, but then noticed the other presents with weapons in their hands.   

The smile melted, and the monster shook its head, trying to comprehend what was happening. 

Massimo couldn't decide what to do. Should he wait? Could this monster be... a different kind of sea monster? 

But how could it be so big? And where the hell had it come from?

Many things ran through his head, and Massimo couldn't decide how to proceed, but then, Signor Ferrando threw his harpoon.

The weapon went in a straight line until it hit the creature's leg, and it broke: the tip of the spear bent, pointing to the sky, and fell to the ground.

This made all stop and look at the harpoon, which was now useless; with eyes and mouths wide open, they all stared at the weapon and then looked at the monster.

The creature was also looking at the spear; it seemed he also didn't know how strong he was. Massimo could just stare at that. What was this thing? 

Giacomo screamed and threw his harpoon at the creature; it hit the monster in the stomach, but the result was the same, the harpoon broke and fell as a worthless item.

This made the creature curious; it leaned on both hands to lower his head and see the harpoon. 

"He's curious,"  Massimo thought; this made him realize that this wasn't a mindless beast. Whatever it was, it had some sense of comprehension of the situation. The monster raised his eyes and looked at Massimo; once again, it smiled and roared.

Massimo couldn't know what to do. Was this thing trying to communicate with him? But why? How? What in God's name was happening? 

But before Massimo could do anything, Signora Bruzzone stabbed the creature's eye with a harpoon; she somehow managed to sneak to the monster's side to hurt it. This had an effect as the weapon pierced the pupil and sank until the optic nerve. 

The monster howled in pain as it stood up and put both hands to its eye.

Massimo wide opened his eyes and dropped his harpoon; he wanted to say 'wait' to the others but didn't know why. Why did he have the urge to defend this beast that had come to destroy the town? 

The people began to shout in victory as they finally managed to hurt it, but then Massimo noticed something, being injured the creature was moving desperately to every side; it threw a blow into the air that ended up hitting the  Pescheria  and the neighboring building, destroying the second floors of both, making the humans yell in terror.

"NO!" Massimo screamed. 

As the others started to back away; starting to regret hurting it. 

The monster roared before rushing forward.

"DODGE!" Yelled Massimo before throwing himself to the ground, many more ran to the other side of the street, where the bar had once stood.

Unfortunately, Signora Bruzzone was very close to the monster when it started to run; the impact of his paw caused a wave that sent her flying, the woman screamed until she fell over the rubble.

"SIGNORA BRUZZONE!" Yelled Ferrando, he ran to help her, but in its desperate run, he got in the monster's way, the man could only open his eyes when the demon's enormous paw crushed him. Massimo opened his in terror when he saw the scene. When the beast raised his feet, Massimo noticed traces of organs and blood smeared on it.   

The monster hit the main building, where registrations for the Portorosso Cup took place, the monster crashed head first, then lifted it up before taking a large part of the building with it.

More debris fell, raising a cloud of smoke that only increased when the construction collapsed, all the presents covered themselves to prevent it from getting into their eyes.

After that... everything went silent.

Massimo stayed on the ground for a few moments, not knowing what else to do, he was dirty from head to toe, there was nothing around him but dust and debris, and some pieces of concrete had become embedded in his arm.

Slowly, he got up, looking around to see if there were any other survivors, but he could not see because of the smoke that surrounded him. It wasn't until a shadowy figure appeared in front that he stood up.

The figure advanced until he was out of the mist, and Massimo saw it was Giacomo, just as dirty as him, and with a pale death expression.

He looked at Massimo and opened his mouth, but no sound came out of it. The fisherman just nodded.

"Let's find the others."

Giacomo only nodded.

BRRANNK!

This put the two on alert, they turned to the side where the building had collapsed, the creature's enormous face came out of the fog above them, and they stared at it in terror.

Out of the mist, more and more people came, all with eyes on the creature, they backed away until they reached Massimo and Tomaso, forming a straight line. 

The monster still had the harpoon in its eye; he took a claw to it and then pulled the spear off. 

Everyone made faces of disgust at seeing such horror, the creature dropped the harpoon to the ground, still wailing as it did so, and then... the injured eye regenerated itself. 

Massimo couldn't believe what he saw, the only damage they caused him had disappeared, and he now had an eye just like the previous one.

The others lost hope when they saw this, as they fell to their knees and just stared at the imposing being that was now in front of them.

The creature opened and closed the regenerated eye, and then smiled, apparently, it worked like the previous one, after that, it looked at the ground and... seemed to get sad.

He looked around at the destruction he had caused and then fixed his eyes on the villagers lying at his feet. They were wounded, while Signora Bruzzone lay in rubble howling in pain, and Signor Ferrando had been reduced to a mush of blood and organs. 

The monster roared and then looked at its throat, it roared again in desperation. It closed its eyes and fists, gritted its teeth, and lowered its head. When it opened its eyes, the monster inspected its body, but nothing had changed.

It roared again and looked behind him; the tail was still there. 

The beast looked down once more, and Massimo could swear he laid eyes on him. The monster did not see him with hatred or fury but rather with pity and pain. What was happening? The monster let out a small scream, but apparently, it wasn't what it wanted, as it closed its eyes and began to move forward.

Everyone shouted as they moved out of the way of the creature, who did not stop until it reached the water; it submerged, leaving the dorsal fins out, until they disappeared into the sea.

I heard u are so full of toontown tips.....

>:3c as a matter of fact i am...... just 2 be clear, these are mostly tips 4 beginners/ppl who are still in the early-ish game but here yuo go.......

PLAY CORPORATE CLASH!!!!!! theres nothing wrong with toontown rewritten necessarily, but a lot of corporate clash is built off of taking what rewritten did right, and fixing what they didnt. with that being said, everything here is gonna be talking about cc

if you feel comfortable doing so, try multitooning! having two toons instead of one can be really helpful in a lot of ways. if youve never played a toontown game you might not wanna jump right into playing two toons at once, but if youre familiar with how the game works, its honestly not that hard and can make stuff a lot easier. if youre interested, check out toontown multicontroller, which will let you control both toons at once, either by inputting different controls for each window, or having both windows mirror the same input

ask for help! even if you have 2 toons, and especially if you dont, you will end up needing to do fights that you cant take on alone. i thought i would be fine on my own with both my toons, but that. wasnt the case! luckily, clash has the group finder, which allows you to join or create groups to take on different challenges. for example, if you need help with a building, you can create a group for it, and other players will join in to help you :3 with all that said..

join a club! joining a club will give you access to a bunch of toons who are, more often than not, very friendly and happy to help! it creates a sense of community, and makes forming groups a lot easier [: psst feel free to message me ill invite u to my club men enjoyers. unless u dont enjoy men in which case i cant be much help

change up your build when needed! clash allows you to refund tracks whenever you want and trade them in for another track. if you refund a track and then decide you want it back later, youll have the same amount of xp on it as you did when you refunded

other general tips..! -every time you get a new cattlelog, buy the bean bank in it. it caps out at 100k, and trust me, you WILL eventually end up with more jellybeans than you know what to do with -when you start a new playground, try to do the sidetask that will give you teleport access asap. the main taskline will often have you running around in and out of the playground, so being able to tp is super helpful -i know its hard to resist but. try not to fight street managers early if youre not equipped to do so -you should prioritize the main taskline over kudos tasks. if you need to train before you can move onto the next playground, feel free to grab some kudos tasks to do in the meantime, but the instance managers (which unlock at lvl 10 kudos at their respective playground) are meant to be fought after youve completed the main taskline, and will be really hard otherwise -take note of the daily boosts! every day has a different event that can be extremely beneficial when youre still training. specifically, gag farming friday is super important for grinding xp in tracks you need to train :3

this ended up being way longer than i expected it to be oopsie SFDSGKLJDF if u have any other specific questions or concerns feel free to shoot me another ask ^_^

[ursaspecter]

when it's gag farming friday and you want to train drop but every group you're in has someone training lure 😔

or when someone uses squirt on a cog you think this is your chance to get some drop in but then 2 of your party members use zap to kill so if you wanna get any exp that turn u gotta zap with them 😔😔

Oh I was living my best life while seeing Nicki. I had a blast and she put on a show. This was my first time seeing her and it for sure won't be the last. I have loved her since 2009 when I heard two classmates rapping itty bitty piggy. I have always loved female rap since I was young and there was no one popping off at that time then Nicki came to save female rap. It was such an emotional moment. ❤️

Judge Could Bar Comments to Press After California Shooting

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — A judge on Friday barred attorneys from talking to the press about the criminal case of a farmworker accused of killing seven people last month in back-to-back shootings at two Northern California mushroom farms. San Mateo County Judge Elizabeth K. Lee on Friday issued a gag order prohibiting prosecuting and defense attorneys, as well as the alleged killer and the…

I actually was working on making a twitter thread explaining the lore of CPUK as efficiently as possible, but I never got around to posting it. I cleaned some stuff up since I don’t have to handle character limits, but this is still a very broad overview that doesn’t cover everything (and in fact skips out on a lot of my favorite bits)

Season 1 (ep 1-9): Mostly shenanigans. An inter-dimensional hivemind demon called Crimson attempts to take over the universe. Also like a good 1/8 of the participants are mad science experiments, this pays off later.

Season 2 (ep 10-20): Crimson is defeated off-screen after the show goes on a long hiatus and comes back with new rules (see below). We all got mad at a purple alligator for a bit. The mad scientist that done did all the experimenting is revealed to be Dr. Order, who takes over the games through the power of girlbossing. Dr. Order attempts to become a god by taking the power of time goddess Chartreuse, but is defeated by a Florida Man and send back to Mesopotamia. Also Sephiroth was there.

Season 3 (ep 21-27): Chartreuse is revealed to have two siblings, Cobalt and Crimson (yes the same one from season 1), as well as a babysitter named Prism; all of which have just as much cosmic power as she does. Crimson, Guardian of Dimensions, was not doing a really good job guarding dimensions, resulting in Garfield and Shantae turning in to cosmic horrors and Nagito Komaeda Danganronpa and Kanye West being written out of existence (which isn’t a huge loss? Might be a net positive). Crimson attempts to take power once more, but gets dunked on. (This was all written in for one one-off gag about how Nagito’s section is still in Super Smashup Kerfuffle despite not having appeared in CPUK at that point) Meanwhile, the Florida Man and his boyfriend attempt to bring Sephiroth back from the dead apparently just to see if they can, but end up aggravating Colbalt, the Guardian of Death.

Current (ep 27--): With the help of Chartreuse’s babysitter, Prism, the current champion Dantoinette organizes a Grand Tournament made of the best returning fighters. However, Prism has her own reasons for organizing the tournament, which may have to something to do with the Guardians’ parent dying and involves causing as much trauma for them as possible.

Participants are organized into 8 teams (as of S2):

Team Clutch fights for honor (the faces)

Calibur fights for glory (the heels)

Charm fights for love

Cones fights for chaos

Cash Money fights for $$$

Chonk fights for girth

Cross fights to make Super Smash Bros the biggest crossover in cinematic history

Craken fights to rep Ryan's OCs, the Red Kraken. Characters on this team are either pirates dressed in red and representing a dance move of some kind, or are part of Hoedown's family on Patch Farms.

Main characters of note that weren’t already talked about:

Iggy Koopa: Tournament organizer and Ryan's Main. Happy Iggy Friday.

Dantoinette: Current reigning champion. OP and knows it. We tried getting rid of her twice and she’s still champion.

Captain Valentine: The people's champ and reoccurring MC

Captain Quadratic: Valentine's robot clone, created by Dr. Order and still trying to recover from her treatment. Often fills in for Val as MC or gets involved in the main plot.

Larry: Chaotic shapeshifting Florida Man. Kind of the main character by default since most of the plot involves him in some way. He's also very gay and in love with his boyfriend Hackerman J0hn.

Squid Jenny: Field reporter and fan favorite.

Hamburger Helper: One of the early champions; the fact that we couldn’t get rid of him, plus his relationship with his ex-husband Dadendorf and son Dark Jimbo, shapes most of season 1. 

Plum K. Rool (often shortened to P. Rool or Prool): One of the more notable champions since Ryan did everything in their power to make him not win. Actually a pretty good guy, just with a disgusting CPU. Doesn't have much of a backstory but still shows up frequently.

Therapuppy: The tournament's on-call therapist who also happens to kick a lot of ass

Folk: Therapuppy's future self, a time-travelling dog therapist who is also a pirate and trans.

There's a lot that happens in every episode of CPUK, but very little affects the main story. Not to mention lore can change on a dime depending what the showrunners or CPUs get up to.

So like. I genuinely don't know how CPU Kerfuffle gets lore and I'm bad at paying attention. Not necessarily looking for spoilers but I'm kinda looking for, like. how does it get lore isn't it just CPUs fighting, so I know what's going on?

The short(ish) version is this

Basically, we made them into characters and gave them backstories. Then during the tournament (at the beginning) we would get "reports from the field" surrounding events taking place mid-tournament. Over time that evolved into full-on cutscenes with voice acting (starting around season 2, most specifically around 17). And from there plot just ended up happening. If you want a detailed rundown of the plot you can either watch it (the Discord loves watching people react to CPUK lol) or ask for a rundown lol
