Commonsense Etiquette for Pull Carts
Pull carts are very common on the golf course. I think I see more people pushing their clubs around the course vice carrying. However, this article will cover carrying etiquette as well. Many people think that because I am pushing their clubs that little to no damage can happen to the golf course. This thinking is folly and consideration needs to be given to your playing partners and to…

Do you think JJ would constantly stay over at readers house bc he feels safe there compared to his own??
🦋anon
I love this!! I also kind of love the idea of the reader having accepting parents too bc that scene with Kiara’s hurt hurt!!
This literally just became a “please let JJ have a win with a girlfriend’s family who actually loves him” write-up…
Yeah he loved the independence that the chateau gave him, but your house had the company and it had the warmth of family. Your parents have stern rules about bedroom etiquette but they’ve practically given him the spare room whenever.
He definitely swings by after altercations with his dad; he’s been walking the street for hours trying to get the courage to ask if he can see you (& he does this every time, even after the 50th visit) because his insecurity is so deeply rooted in feeling like a burden (fuck you, Luke) to everyone.
So when he says he should go, because he doesn’t want to overstay his welcome, you’re always responding to it with “please stay” and not a “you can stay if you want” knowing he needs the clarifying reassurance that you want him there.
You’ll ask your parents downstairs if he can stay, and they’re always happy to say yes.
Your dad will talk to him in the kitchen while he’s making the dinner, and JJ helps with his experience from his summer jobs in the golf club kitchen. Your dad will never fail to find out how bad the altercation was, and give gentle advice and care and love and reassurance to jj, emphasising that he’s always welcome and never alone. Your dad is basically the Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting to Matt Damon. Your dad will hug him for as long as JJ needs it and there’s a few shared tears between them.
At dinner, your parents are always so interested in what JJ’s been up to—and when he divulges about the gold and his adventures, they believe him and want to hear more. They always make him feel like they see potential in him and that he’s not destined to be like his father & that his name isn’t tainted with a pre-made future.
JJ will talk mechanics with your mum, she’ll ask him if he knows what’s up with their car and he’ll go on this whole nerd talk about it.
He’ll help clean up: he washes the dishes and you dry them while your parents sit at the table still, sipping beer or martinis.
The recurring thought they always have, and the recurring thing they’ll always tell JJ is: “you have the kindest soul who has found it’s other half in our daughter” and they always make it clear that they’d rather him with you—a Pogue with gentleness—than the boys who attempt to butter them up—Kooks with misogynistic views.

Platonic Yandere Socialite x GN! Reader
- Yandere Socialite, who comes from an affluent family of successful business owners and who has a lot of stress and expectations for them to uphold their family's name, so they usually play golf as an entertaining way to blow off steam and network with their fellow golfers. It's not like this was their only option, but the scarce free time their parents ever have to hang out with them is usually spent on golfing sessions, so it's worth it.
- Yandere Socialite, who notices your family as the new members of the club. They recognize your parent as a tech entrepreneur whose business has become incredibly profitable and has catapulted your family into 'new money'. You guys are painfully obvious as well, wearing tacky, expensive clothing, and way too much jewelry for the sport, but Yandere Socialite can't help but be interested in you for some reason. So they approach you and your family for an invitation to a game.
- Yandere Socialite, who is pleasantly surprised as to how nice, polite, and sweet all your family members are, including you! Your family was so overwhelmed with their newly acquired wealth that they weren't completely sure what to do with their insurmountable wealth. It reminds Yandere Golfer of a family of baby fawns being so curious yet afraid of the world around them. But Yandere Socialite enjoys the company of all of you very much, so they make sure to invite all of you to a brunch tomorrow, as well as giving all of you some tips as to how dress better.
- Yandere Socialite, who becomes your family unofficial guide to high society, advising your family on what other families to socialize with, what brands and trends are popular in the main cliques, mannerisms, and etiquette to impress the 'old money' folk and many more tips! Yandere Socialite only asks (more like demands) your companionship and friendship in this hell hole that is high society.
- Yandere Socialite loves to drag you to trips to extravagant countries, going on shopping sprees where you pretty much become their confused yet flattered little doll to accessorize and pamper, attend high class events, and shows, and become their designated partner in any formal or informal setting! They get along well with your family as well! All of you have an innocent aura that fills them with such warmth that they wish to never let any of you go but have a stronger bias with you.
"Remember that after we finish with these clothes, we have the waterpolo event to attend to. I think it was some for some sort of charity or something?"
"I'm kind of tired... Can't we skip it?"
"Oh goodness, no! If you want, we can go to a coffee break. There's a cute organic cafe near the club!"
"All right..."
"You know what? Maybe we should invite your parents as well! I think there will be some important people there, so your parents can go and network!"
"Great..."

do you think rafe would be good at meeting parents? Because he could be from learning all the kook etiquette growing up but he also could be so out of pocket - 🤍
he’d be good at it but almost borderline too good?? like complimenting your mother to the point where it’s bordering on flirting, promising your dad a golfing day with a firm handshake and like because you know rafe — you know how fake all the gentlemanly behaviour is n you’re so tense watching him interact waiting for him to slip up.
he’s very confident with how good he is at meeting parents, so he gets cocky and will do things like give your thigh a little rub under the table almost too high up on your leg, giving you hidden little looks, oh so innocently asking you for the house tour so you can show him your childhood bedroom (so he can shove a hand over your mouth and pound your cunt whilst your parents are just downstairs) like he knowsss the game too well and he loves playing it

Hole-in-one | JJK pt. 5
Tumblr media
Parings: Jungkook x Reader
High society, richie rich type
Warnings: clothed sex, short smut, FLUFF, commando, office sex, semi-public sex.
A/N: happy new year! (Full note at the end)
Final chapter!
+++++++
“Happy 2nd Anniversary!” Jungkook flies into your office, that was right across his, holding a cake and some balloons.
You couldn’t help but grin. Two years and he still gives you the butterflies, you both still are head over heels, and he still finds ways to surprise you.
You round your table to kiss him, taking the balloons and snapping photos of him with the cake.
“Wanna have cake for breakfast?” You wiggle your eyebrow.
“But Miss LN, we just clocked in and you expect me to sit down with you to enjoy this delicious caramel cake?” He rants as he sets down the cake and grabe forks from your mini pantry. “Its not like your dad would fire us.”
You laugh as you join him at the table.
You’re both seniors at your dad’s firm now. Taking lead on some small projects, working on two together. Not only did you work well in life but even at work, your designs always match his plans despite not discussing things yet and he loves that.
None of your colleagues can complain about your sudden rise in positions because you both basically will be an executive one day and they don’t want to ruin their relationship with you.
“So I was thinking, we could go golfing tonight?” You ask and he grins.
“Yes, please. My clubs miss me.” He pouts despite going golfing the other day with some investors.
“I miss hitting hole-in-ones.” You wink and he chokes on the cake.
You haven’t had the chance to golf together and even if you were, there were no hole-in-ones, you still fucked (a lot) though.
The grin on his face says he’s thinking about it too.
A knock comes to your door. “Miss LN, Mr. Jeon.” The executive secretary nods. “A meeting in conference room B will be starting at 10.” He reminds, you hand him a paper plate with a slice of cake. “Thank you. Don’t be late.” He says directed to Jungkook.
“Once. I was late once.” He says again as the secretary left. “You know, I heard a rummour from finance…”
Jungkook is the office gossip, even your father was getting information from him. If you wanted a secret kept, keep it away from Jungkook. But you’re no better.
You both walk to the conference room, keeping it professional but you can’t help but tease the man by brushing your ass on his cock when in a packed elevator, or licking his lobe when you whispered something before the meeting began, you drew circles on this thigh as the meeting starts and despite keeping a straight face, you felt him hard when you brushed your hand over it.
He glares at you and you just wink. Your romance was no secret here too. But you both had the etiquette to avoid PDA within work.
Unbeknownst to everyone, you’ve both made a bucketlist on where to fuck. And every floor is a must. You’ve ticked off 8 floors out of 12 that the firm occupies.
The meeting was a tiny team, mostly your main team with Jungkook. Your father had joined you mid way, he barely joins meetings.
You take down notes, but as you did you felt a hand on your thigh. You froze for a second and decided to play along. You open your thighs wider, he inches higher.
Jungkooks head snaps towards you the moment he feels you have nothing underneath. You do your best to not indulge him but instead you even speak about the possible plans for the project.
He can feel you wet and warm, his own cock straining against his slacks. Fuck, he was sweating.
His fingers tease your core, rubbing up and down, collecting your juices. But he doesn’t dare put a finger in. This time, you’re the one sweating as he flicks your clit. Thankful that nobody else sat beside you two.
“Jungkook and YN can do the site visit tomorrow.” Your father speaks, startling you both. His hand retreats.
“Yes sir.” You both respond quickly. Having no idea where the site even is.
Once the meeting ajourns you both speed walk back to the elevator and to your offices. He shuts the blinds and puts his ‘in meeting’ sign outside his door. You quickly do the same with yours then cross to his office once the coast is clear.
As soon as the door is shut Jungkook pulls you by the wrist and makes you sit on his lap, the couch you were on was in a blind spot even if someone peeks through the door.
“You drive me crazy.” Jungkook kisses you. “I fucking love you.” His hand was on your cheek.
But his hand travels down to your throat, you smirk and bite his lower lip. You reach down to take care of his pants before you start dripping all over him.
You can’t make much noise and that makes it difficult because Jungkook loves your noises. You skip the foreplay and he rams himself up into you. Your lowerlip caught between your teeth but a squeak came out of you.
He places a hand over your mouth and start fucking into you. Your hands gripping his shoulders. Thank god he took his jacket off otherwise he would be walking around with a wrinkled shirt for the rest of the day.
The hand over your mouth becomes fingers stuck down your throat. Gasps and tiny moans echoing in the room. You shake your head telling him you can’t take it anymore. He speeds up and pull you in for a kiss, swallowing your moans as you both reach your highs.
He pumps the last of himself into you. Just in time for your phone to ring. Your father’s photo lighting up.
He hands it to you despite his cock still in you.
“Hey dad.” You try to sound normal despite trying to catch your breath.
“Hey darling, can you visit the site for the new project today?” He asks and you frown, Jungkook reaches over on the shelf nearby for the wet wipes he keeps.
“I thought we were scheduled to visit tomorrow?” You look at Jungkook as he starts wiping your thighs. Pulling out so he could properly clean you. You bite your lip as he teases you with his fingers.
“Yes, but I need you to take the right measurements.” You frown again, Jungkook lifts you up by the hips and sets you on the couch next to him.
“Then I need to bring Jungkook and a team with me.” Jungkook now has his attention on you.
“If he’s a available. Bye, I have to water my plants.” He ends the call and you’re completely puzzled.
“What was that about?” Jungkook asks as he hands you a glass of water.
“He wants me to visit the site today to get the right measurements, do you know if my dad has plants? Can you come?” You look up, there’s a look on his face that says he can’t come.
“I’ve got two more meetings with the Itaewon and the Samdong teams. I’m sorry baby.” He kisses your cheek. You sigh.
“Alright. I’ll see you later? For golf.” You smile at him as he helps you up. He fixes your skirt and you brush his shoulders.
“Okay, 6PM?” You nod. With the amount of work you do, you’ve moved afternoon golf to night golf.
One more kiss and you’re back in your office, sifting through the files for this project. You’ve been a full on contractor for the most of your stay at the firm, measurements should be done easily.
Or so you thought. The team that was supposed to join you seemed to have the addresses mixed up. They’re half an hour away from you.
You groan and stand in the empty lot. You breathe in the fresh air. It was beautiful, the house getting built here would have the best view, its close to the heart of the city but far enough to have solitude. The private road leading here was just enough distance to not make it creepy. You visualize a walk-through.
Imagining a huge door, glass windows, a porch facing the open, it was a hill top location, you can see the beach and the city. You smile, because in your vision you see Jungkook, coming up behind you to hand you your coffee as you both enjoy the view, tiny foot steps following.
You shake your head. A future with Jungkook would be perfect, he’s perfect. Mr. Gold Standard really lived up to his title.
You try to calculate the measurements usung your footsteps. You take photos with your phone to map out the view. You send a few selfies to Jungkook, but he doesn’t respond. He’s probably in a meeting.
The team finally arrives, apologetic for their mistake. You just smile and let them do their work. You order some snacks for them, standing witht them as you confirm the measurements.
In about an hour, you’re done mapping things out and eating. You check your watch, its 3PM. You’re planning to clock out at 4 so could prepare for your simple anniversary date.
During your first anniversary, Jungkook had taken you on a trip, but this year since you’re both swamped with work, he said you both should save your leave credits for a different date and you naturally agreed.
You drive back to the office but your mother calls you asking you to pick her up from her Yoga session, since she’s along the way it wasn’t much of a hassle.
Until you see her come out with her friends and asks you to drop them off at their houses. You fidget in your seat as you drop each one off, your mother the farthest since she asked you to drop her off at home rather then coming to the office with you.
It was 30 minutes before 5 when you finally arrived at your home. Decided, you message Jungkook saying you’re not coming back to the office and would meet him at the club house instead.
He still hasn’t responded to any of your texts. Weird. Usually, he would be on his phone even through meetings.
But you don’t overthink it. You take your time at home, shaving, scrubbing, waxing, you pick out your new golf outfit. You and Jungkook purchased a white set a month ago, today would be perfect to wear it
The white skirt paired with the white sleeveless top, it hugged you perfectly. You put on your best makeup. You glance at your phone, still no response. You huff.
You hope he isn’t late today. You open your dresser to find the silver box that held your anniversary gift, a Richard Mille watch. It suits Jungkook, only the best for your Golden boyfriend.
You glance at the clock. 5:15
You had agreed earlier to meet Jungkook at the clubhouse at 6PM. You sigh as you notice that he still has yet to respond to your messages.
You take the scenic route to kill some time before arriving at the club house at exactly 6. You aren’t surprised to find the place a bit empty for a wednesday evening. What’s odd is that the employees are greeting and smiling at you more than usual.
“Good day, YN!” Jean greets you. “Follow me.” She simply says, before you could argue, she’s walking away.
You follow her towards the carts, a caddie already in the driver’s seat. Smiling at you. Maybe Jungkook has something planned?
Jean sits next to you, you don’t question it.
Excitemet bubbles up within you. You have no idea what’s coming next.
But a mild panic sets in when Jean hands you a blindfold.
“Shit. What’s he up to?” You grin and take the blindfold. Putting it over your eyes.
The drive was a little over 5 minutes. You can’t tell where he’s going or if he’s just driving in circles.
The cart stops and Jean takes your hand. Guiding you to where you stand. You can’t hear anything too.
She takes your blind fold off and the golf course was filled with purple and white glowing glass flowers, a trail of petals leading up to a beautiful flower arch and your man beneath it.
Jungkook stood there, flowers in hand. Wearing the white matching outfit. You can’t help but have tears in your eyes. Somewhere, your favorites songs are playing.
You imagine yourself, walking down the aisle towards Jungkook, not in your golf outfit but in a white silk or tulle gown. Jungkook standing with a suit.
You finally reach him and he smiles at you.
“So this is why you haven’t been responding?” He nods and hands you the flowers.
“Happy anniversary, my love.” He kisses you. He steps back and clears his throat. Did he prepapre a speech?
“Happy Anniversary, baby.” You smile. He takes your left hand.
“YN, you’re the best part about my day, my sun when I feel down, my stars when I feel lost, my moon when I feel scared…” he takes a deep breath. “I’ve been crushing on you for most of my life and when our paths crossed on this golf course, I took my chance to take that step forward and you took it with me. From then on, we took steps together to what we have become today.” He takes a deep breath and you can’t help but cry at his sentiments. “I can’t even imagine life without you anymore.”
He takes a knee.
You gasp.
He takes out a violet velvet box.
You start crying.
He opens it to the most beautiful diamond ring you have ever laid eyes on, and you’ve seen a lot.
“YN, marry me?” You nod vigorously and with shaky hands he takes the ring and inserts it in your finger.
You both laugh nervously and he stands up to hug and kiss you deeply. Fireworks start to light up the sky and you both stood there to admire it.
But Jungkook thought nothing sparkled brighter than you, with his ring that promised forever.
Both your parents waited at the club house to hug their kids. Your mothers had manifested this for so long, its finally happening.
Jungkook had planned this for months. And he fed you the ideas for night golfing, buying the outfit and the project you both are going to work on is actually your parents’ gift to you both, a home.
Knocks come to your room door. You crack it open to peek and your husband-to-be stood there with a stupid grin on his face.
“Isn’t this bad luck?” You scold. You are to be wed tomorrow. “You have to stop sneaking around.”
“I just wanted to see you. You know I can’t go a day without seeing you.” He pouts again. “Besides, I don’t believe in bad luck.” He wraps his arms around you.
“Like that time your car won’t start because we fucked in it?” You raise your eyebrow.
“That was because there was an engine problem I ignored so it gave up.” He continues to smile and you can’t help but copy it.
He starts kissing your neck. This is where you draw the line.
“Baby, I just got completely pampered and I don’t want to sweat off all the things I just rubbed on me.” He pouts, you pout too. “Don’t make this harder.”
“Nothing is harder than I am right now.” His grin was back and playfully smack his shoulder. “But okay, I’m going, wifey.” You both cringe.
“See you at the altar tomorrow, hubby.” You give him one last kiss and he leaves you.
You spent a year planning this wedding, and decided to ‘hold back’ from fucking for three months before the wedding. You’re both so pent up but your nerves about the wedding preparations overpower your hunger for Jungkook until tonight where you almost lost it.
You stare at the white silk gown with a tulle trail and know that it will be worth the wait.
“I now pronounce you, husband and wife, you may kiss the bride.”
Jungkook raises your veil and pulls you close by your hips, he dips you down and takes your first kiss as a married couple.
“I love you, wife.”
“I love you, husband.”
It was a rollercoaster ride with Jungkook. But it was the best ride of your life, and you’re never getting off.
Your romance started on the golf course, and you marry on the golf course.
You thank all your lucky stars that you practiced more than enough to hit a hole-in-one.
-fin-
++++++
A/N: Thank you so much to all who, like me, fell in love with this fic. As much as I love to continue with this story. the moments beyond this is up to you. I can say Hole-in-one is, so far, my best work. Your love and support tells me so.
Happy New Year, ya filthy animals. 💜

The Challenge Of Playing Golf With Strangers
Golf is a contact sport. What I really mean is that golf is becoming a social contact sport that provides the opportunity for everyone to meet new people. Sometimes this experience is very positive and others….well, not so much. If you have ever walked on to a golf course looking for a game, chances are you were put into a group of unknowns. After the initial pleasantries are exchanged, the real…

made proper turnarounds for my ttcc cog oc neon filia-mont (a.k.a. "the anecgloater"!)
this was made for artfight, but i've also copy-pasted her info here under the readmore!
Neon Filia-Mont (Young)
Summary A chipper young go-getter whose noggin crackles with ideas! Thanks to her prodigious talents in business, song, and dance, Neon Filia-Mont (a.k.a. "The Anecgloater") became a Bossbot Manager at C.O.G.S. Inc. She's an inspiration to the children of Suits everywhere! At least, that’s what her mother and father will tell you. In reality, they left C.O.G.S. Inc. to make Neon a deliberate commodity for Suitopia's under-13 demographic. And their gamble paid off! Her merchandise flies off shelves, her show is always airing, and you can't set foot in Chicogo without seeing one of her billboards. And if that wasn't enough, rumor has it that a mass-produced "Anecgloater" model is in the works... With all her success at such a tender age, Neon must live a charmed life, right? Info Gender: Cisgender Girl (She/Her) Age: 12 Height: About as tall as a Micromanager Fun Facts
Neon is an excellent performer! She can go toe-to-toe with adult Suits in terms of charisma and stage presence.
Neon likes Craig Edgar Oilcan a lot, and spends most of her time with him at Bossbot HQ. Craig taught Neon how to golf, as well as other Bossbot hobbies (such as clay pigeon shooting, dining etiquette, and a handful of cue sports.)
Neon doesn't spend much time with her parents, aside from work and the occasional fine restaurant experience. But her parents do love her! They're just a bit... hands-off.
Neon's social circle is mostly adults. She has very few, if any, friends her age; since she never went to elementary school. A tutor home-schooled her for everything.
Neon Filia-Mont (Adult)
Summary A grouchy, bitter woman in her early thirties. Neon Filia-Mont (a.k.a. "The Anecgloater") is a Sellbot you really don't want to work for. When she's not snapping at her underlings, she's sitting outside Sellbot HQ's silos; guzzling cans of cogfee or smoking cheap cigars. Neon hates it when people talk about her days as a child star. Does her vitriol stem from a case of gifted kid burnout, or something else? She'll never tell. But given her distasteful behavior, whatever happened to her couldn't have been pleasant... Info Gender: Cisgender Woman (She/Her) Age: 31 Height: About as tall as a Mr. Hollywood. Fun Facts
Neon's parents have cut off all contact with her. They retired happily and wealthy, Meanwhile, Neon is barely making ends meet.
Neon's show is still running! However, the real Neon has been replaced by a high-end, mass-produced "Anecgloater" unit. Most of the public can't tell the difference.
Neon spends most of her money on fancy clothes. She enjoys dressing to impress, and takes excellent care of her suits and ties. Though some say that she keeps herself covered for a reason...
Neon has tried to transfer to the Bossbot Department several times, using Craig Edgar Oilcan as a business reference. Craig pretends she doesn't exist.
Neon loves hitting on Minglers; especially Janet Jennings (Allan Bravecog's secretary). They all hate her.
On the other hand, Neon is deeply protective of child Suits. If she sees one, she'll act like a big sister and make sure they're safe.
Neon's relationships with the canon Sellbot managers can be read here.

The British Monarchy & Flat Cap. По одной из версий, толчком к повсеместной моде на головные уборы из шерсти, послужил английский указ 1571 года, который строго предписывал носить кепки и шапки молодым людям старше 6 лет по выходным дням и праздникам. Причем обязательно местного производства. По замыслу, это должно было способствовать росту производства шерсти, и способствовало поддержке британских шляпников. Как видим, это дало результат: сегодня одними из лучших мировых производителей шерстяных изделий, в том числе кепок и шляп из твида, считаются Англия, Шотландия и, конечно, Ирландия. Наибольшую популярность мужские кепки получили в конце XIX и XX веках. Носили их как простые рабочие, моряки, водители, так и представители интеллигентных профессий, не гнушались и аристократы! Кепка не была предназначена для выхода в свет или торжественных мероприятий - для этого существовали шляпы. Этикет того времени предписывал носить кепку на охоту, рыбалку или спортивные мероприятия. В кепках играли в футбол, теннис, крикет, гольф. Это был будничный аксессуар, который могли себе позволить самые широкие слои населения.
According to one version, the impetus for the widespread fashion for woolen hats was the English decree of 1571, which strictly prescribed that young people over 6 years old wear caps and hats on weekends and holidays. And they had to be locally produced. According to the plan, this was supposed to promote the growth of wool production and contribute to the support of British hatters. As we can see, this gave a result: today, England, Scotland and, of course, Ireland are considered to be among the best world manufacturers of woolen products, including caps and tweed hats. Men's caps gained their greatest popularity in the late 19th and 20th centuries. They were worn by ordinary workers, sailors, drivers, and representatives of intelligent professions, and aristocrats did not disdain them either! . The cap was not intended for going out or special events - hats existed for that. The etiquette of that time prescribed wearing a cap for hunting, fishing or sporting events. Caps were worn for football, tennis, cricket and golf. It was an everyday accessory that the broadest strata of the population could afford.

Time Squad Character Analysis #2: Lawrence "Larry" 3000
Hi again! I'm finally continuing this series of analyzing the TS main trio. This time it's the Larry 3000, Cartoon Network's sassiest robot and the only character that's made me believe the network execs didn't bother watching Time Squad after the first episode. More on that later.
Tumblr media
Backstory
Much like Tuddrussel, Larry's full backstory isn't really discussed in the show and is only referred to in throwaway lines, though we can get a rough sense of his life before the show.
The only mention of Larry's early life and childhood is in Monty Zuma, where he explains the first 9 years of his life were spent in a pitch black warehouse. No other information is known about Larry, like his model manufacturers or if he was even built on Earth.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Larry mentions his past diplomatic affairs multiple times in the show, like escorting Queen Jezebel III to a costume Halloween gala or being an assistant to presidents, a part of his past that he's very proud of. From the way he recalls the memories it's almost like part of him wants to go back to the "good old days" back when he was surrounded by etiquette and class, instead of being stuck as a janitor slash cook, basically working for a manchild. Look no further than in Tea Time, where he calls the fancy tea party "a refreshing change of pace".
One specific figure resurfaces multiple times in Larry's memories, that person being a Senator Fiskmeyer, whom we never get to actually see in the show.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He and Larry were presumably very close, to the point Larry felt comfortable enough to play pranks on him, and Fiskmeyer gifting the robot a golden set of golf clubs for helping out with negotiations.
Tumblr media
It's basically impossible to pinpoint Larry's exact age, but there's a few hints that suggest he is a very old model, since his job as a diplomatic assistant / ambassador could only exist prior to Earth's political unification which made his services obsolete (see Larry Antique Theory).
Before Otto joined Time Squad, Larry describes his experience working solely with Tuddrussel as a "nightmare", since he's not programmed in the subject of history and Buck is the less than ideal time cop. It's always struck me as odd that Larry wasn't taught anything about history considering he's meant to be a diplomatic assistant. I figured knowing about world history could help a lot in negotiations between countries so you can at least know the context behind wars and sociopolitical states, but I guess whoever designed Larry thought it wasn't a big deal. Speaking of his coding, he's known to be programmed in a couple things, including etiquette, culture, all known languages, and apparel composition and design. Why they made him knowledgeable in fashion but not history is beyond me.
Freud's psychoanalysis
Freud describes Larry as suffering from "acute self doubt, which makes him passive aggressive, manipulative in nature[.]", all traits that Larry actually displays in the show. Another analysis has already touched on this, but Otto and Larry are both verbal manipulators, with the robot (kind of ironically) relying on emotions to get his way. As for him being passive aggressive, just watch any episode where he complains about something.
Larry and Otto
I've talked about this before but Otto and Larry is my favorite character dynamic in the entire series due to how much it grows throughout the show. In the first couple episodes, Larry sees Otto as little more of a nuisance, some kid from the 21st century they shouldn't have picked up, just another mouth to feed and another mess to clean up after. He finds his general presence and curiosity annoying and dismisses him, especially while he's working.

Although, even in these early episodes Larry isn't completely irritable. He shows Otto the Milky Way galaxy in Blackbeard and they go shopping together in ancient China in Confucius, both activities sans Tuddrussel. I wonder if Larry's more affable when he's not around the big oaf?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's only a few episodes later when something really shifts. Maybe Larry realized how polite Otto is, or maybe he saw how many missions they've succesfully completed ever since the kid's been part of the team, but by Tea Time he's happily making scrambled eggs for Otto (this cements him as the cook of the trio, something that we'll go further in depth later).
From here on out the two only get closer and closer, to the point of replicating a parent-son relationship. It's damn cute. Larry takes care of Otto when he's sick in Floundering Fathers, they go shopping in Ancient China again in Kubla Khan't, and he joins forces with Tuddrussel to get some gifts for the little guy's birthday.
Also, this exchange from Kubla Khan't. I love this show.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Somewhere along the road both Larry and Buck recognize Otto as a kid they have to take care of rather than a coworker. Larry is no patron saint, though. He ignores Otto in Father Figure, abandons him in Hate and Let Hate, and his retelling of the mission in Thrilla' reveals he finds his infodumping annoying.
Other things to note: In Ivan the Untrainable, Larry mentions he had to 'fail Otto in nuclear physics', implying he home-schools him, and even goes as far as to teach him subjects fit for his intelligence rather than the standard 3rd grade academic curriculum. Otto also loves mirroring Larry's movements and general mannerisms from time to time, and is eager to learn about Larry's interests, like learning how to sew or curtseying.

THE MACARONI ARTTTTT
I could go on about Larry and Otto forever, so let's move on to the next relationship dynamic.
Larry and Food
Yet again, another wonderful analysis already discussed this at full length, but I feel that it's important I mention it here. I heavily recommend you check it out! Seriously, read Larry and Food: A Love Story.
One of Larry's main interests that becomes an integral part of his personality is his love of food and cooking. Despite this, he has no functioning mouth and no real way to enjoy food. He's programmed to be deeply involved with human culture yet he can't fully experience it due to his physical limitations. Therefore, the dissection argues, Larry's cooking is his way of communicating his own needs and emotions onto others and to manipulate how others feel.
Larry and Buck
Where do I even begin with these two. Okay.
Larry and Tuddrussel's relationship flip flops between work buddies and married couple, that is, one that's about to file for divorce. Larry detests Buck. He hates how filthy and unkempt he is, his immaturity, his bad manners, how brutish he is and how he never appreciates Larry's efforts to keep the Satellite running. He loves insulting him through passive aggressive remarks and, unlike Tuddrussel, Larry rarely shows fear towards him, aside from the times he gets physically hurt (or threatened to be hurt) by the big oaf.
Yet, despite this, despite all the hatred he holds for him... Larry finds himself desperately in need of him. Though he'll never properly admit it, Buck's presence in the Satellite gives Larry something to do, a change in routine from the computers and mission logs.
Tumblr media
Larry is stuck in a constant battle with himself, sometimes wanting to apply for a transfer so he never sees Buck again, and other times getting so jealous he concocts an evil plan to sabotage a meal between the man and his ex-wife just because they were getting along again.
Speaking of Ex, it's a fan favorite for a reason. It's so late into the show that Mark Hamill's influence on the character had transfomed him from an annoyed ex-diplomat to an effeminate housewife suffering from one-sided love/hatred. How these lines got past the network censors still baffles me along with everyone else in the fandom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
God that turkey is still disgusting no matter how many times I watch this scene why did he do that
His jealousy gets cranked up to 100 in Ex, proclaiming Tuddrussel as "his" and accuses Sheila of trying to "take him away". Even at the end of the episode when the misunderstanding is clear, he is still mad at Tuddrussel despite him doing nothing particularly wrong, and tells him he's "sleeping on the sofa" that night.
More things to note... Remember how Tuddrussel has Texan heritage and likes to act and sometimes dress like a cowboy? Larry has a semi-confirmed cowboy fetish. He's presumably the one who dressed Cleopatra like a cowgirl in Shop like an Egyptian, one of his clones flirts with Tuddrussel in what is basically a gay robot nightclub in Day of the Larrys and he finds being a cowboy fun in Billy the Baby. Either Tuddrussel awakened something within him, or the big guy simply reinforced what was already there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sidenote, in Billy the Baby Larry takes the role of the comic relief, becoming uncharacteristically stupid. Something about that cowboy outfit turns him into a bimbo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The show loves treating the two like a married couple, from Buck referring to Larry as "the old ball and chain" in Larry Upgrade to Freud becoming their couples counselor in Horse of Horrors. While Buck has hearts around him when seeing Cleopatra, Larry has hearts around him when seeing Buck in Thrilla', albeit this only being Buck's vision.
Other relationships
The only notable relationships Larry has with secondary characters are XJ5 and Lance 9 Trillion, the two other robots shown in Time Squad. Lance is Larry's celebrity crush; he asks for his autograph and generally looks up to him. That's about all there is to say about the two.
As for XJ5 and Larry, I've always struggled to define what their relationship is like. They act like petty rivals, and XJ5 loves critiquing Larry's lack of technological gadgets and antiquity. Even still, they find middle ground in Ex since neither of them want to see Sheila and Tuddrussel back together (possibly for different reasons).
Yes Larry is gay and camp
The more you rewatch Time Squad, the more you realize just how much the writers (and Hamill) flanderized Larry as it went on.
Series co-writer Carlos Ramos describes Larry as "nothing but fetishes", and he's absolutely right! Larry might be a robot programmed in etiquette, but deep within him lie some more... risqué interests.
Tumblr media
He loves dressing up in feminine clothes and doing effeminate activities like foo-foo cooking, putting on makeup (something Buck recalls in Monty Zuma), manicures, books meant for young adult women featuring glamorous women and provocative romances (Danielle Steel and Jackie Collins are his favorite authors) and sewing. He's apparently been called a sissy "his whole life" so take that as you will.
Larry's buttons
Okay this is a bit of a jokey section but hear me out. Larry's chest panel and buttons are sort of like his... cleavage? Nipples? He's embarrassed when Otto opens up his chest in Daddio DaVinci (how did he know he could do that?) and exclaims "Excuse me!" when the kid tries picking up a radio signal.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Genuinely what is his problem
Final Thoughts
Did you know Larry calls Buck quequi in the Mexican dub, a nickname so convoluted I made a chart for it?
Tumblr media
Larry sends me into a blind rage. I can't write any more about this robot it's killing me. Bad Girls by Donna Summers is ruined. Because of woke.

How do you find a sugar daddy or what did you do to get one?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First things first…real sugar babies know that real sugar daddies are not on any sugaring websites. It’s very rare when someone gets someone who’s the real deal on a website/app!
{I either go the sugar baby route or the spoiled girlfriend route!}
Free styling: Going out in public is the best way to meet a potential!
High end bars
Country clubs
Coffee shops by hospitals or business buildings
Golf courses
High end restaurants
Be knowledgeable: Sugar daddies love brains! I’m very into the arts, literature, philosophy, history + psychology and my potentials eat it up! Having hobbies are important as well. My hobbies include:
Creating art
Writing
Playing badminton + croquet
Horseback riding
Reading
Learning foreign languages
Take good care of yourself: Always dress well and keep your hygiene routine in motion!
Nails done
Hair kept
Perfumed + oiled
Capsule wardrobe complete
Understand the world of the upper class: I grew up in a family of doctors + professors + teachers so I grew up learning proper etiquette as a classy lady!
{I also come from a lineage of royalty so it’s naturally in my blood! 🤭}
Know your table manners
Carry polite conversations
Learn how to properly shake hands
Smile and dress well during business dinners + events
Have good hosting skills + a clean home environment
Know what you want: I tend to stick with doctors + engineers. I also typically date men from different countries! Men who I have dated include:

Have goals: Focus on yourself, create goals and set yourself up for success!
Stay educated in school
Start a business
Get a real estate license
Understand what career you want in life + make goals to get where you want to be in life
Strict boundaries are a must: Set yourself up with high standards! Know what you want and leave when someone isn’t fulfilling you. Trust there’s someone better out there that will treat you the way you deserve to be treated!
Make a list of red flags
Make a list of the kind of person you want to date (ex: career, personality + looks)
Make a list of things you expect and will not tolerate
These are just a few tips but if there’s any interest in going the online route, I do have a few tips!
More sugar baby, spoiled girlfriend + trophy wife tips can be found on my side blog @kittyboudoir under the advice tag in my side blog bio!
