Oh, yeah, actual classic tragedy. lol. always good.

I'm a big fan of "jackass romance characters infuriate each other, break up, learn their lessons... but still don't get back together." I'd even end their stories with them both finding happiness with other partners, like a beta couple. ROFL, have a romantic comedy with the classic feisty couple and the sweetheart couple, they both break up amicably, and then swap partners!

I think (Tumblr) people have lost the thread on the point of tragic characters. We've gotten to the point where we literally think the point of any story, no matter the genre, is revolution. Somehow everything became Star Wars... If a hero doesn't try to fix racism, end governmental overreach, and save the environment, are they really a hero? What? This story was about pirates punching ninjas...

People will complain that a tragic character is written poorly because they agree with or have sympathy for their perspective, but then don't agree with how far they take things. Yes. That's what makes them tragic. I can completely agree with heroes that do more than maintain the status quo; I disagree with the idea that a heroes job is social justice, to tear asunder society itself. "But society is corrupt." Society is always going to be corrupt. Dafuq.

So, in summary... I think its very neat that Poison Ivy wants to save the rainforests. But if the cold open is her robbing a bank, am not going to bullshit and reduce Batman's story to "Billionaire punches mentally ill people for fun," or say "she was just trying to help," and I'm not even going to ask why he doesn't just give her a couple million dollars for her project, because she's a freakin' mentally ill woman with a giant misanthropic complex who is willing to murder people for money, vindictiveness, or on impulse.

Maybe we should write villains who do villainous things for vile reasons for a couple decades, because if a woman says "I love trees," people will ignore every other aspect of her character because, well, at least she has a passion...

A character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is forced to live, to put one foot in front of the other and find healing, who chooses to pour goodness into the world and make the world a better place

Is more satisfying to me than a character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is redeemed through death

99.9% of the time.

Oh god the Lola Bunny boob thing reminds me of the Birds Of Prey thing with Harley Quinn. In Suicide Squad she was sexualized and treated as an object by the Joker. And in BOP she was an independent bisexual who looked way happier and was better off with Poison Ivy who actually loved her. And brown men were triggered because she didn’t have bigger boobs and wasn’t stripping. As a bi this makes me mad

HOOO BOOY I HAVE SOME OPINIONS SO BUCKLE UP KIDS

(they're not controversial or anything lmao but I feel as it's an important point of view most ppl don't talk about, or at least I, myself, don't hear very often)

Ok, here's what I think about the 'male gaze' in media, including a few examples such as Harley Quinn, Lola Bunny, Enid, and Jessica Rabbit.

I love both versions of Space Jam Lola. Original Space Jam Lola was pretty, entertaining, and is personally my favorite of Space Jam Lola's voices. Even still, she had problems in her characterization.

To properly explain, let's start off with what we know about her: She's gorgeous, she's good at basketball, and she doesn't like to be talked down to (being called 'Doll', in a similar fashion Dot Warner doesn't like to be called 'Dottie). But... What else? She isn't given much screen time. Even during the part where they actually play the game, a part in which she should thrive, she isn't shown much. For all we know, that first scene could've just been Bugs being bad at basketball, going easy on her. This isn't the case, but you could make that claimed based on how little time she got to show how good she is. She's here to serve as a romantic love interest for Bugs, and turn his whole 'schtick' on its head. Usually, he's the one who's clever and cunning, staying calm and rarely loosing his cool. With Lola, she takes that role from him, resulting in their dynamic, which would've been really fun to see play out more. Many guys (and gals) had crushes on her as kids, mainly for her body and charisma.

Now, let's talk about Space Jam: A New Legacy's Lola.

(Slight spoilers for the movie btw!)

Her characterization is much more fleshed out than before. She has goals and motives. Immediately, we know she's strong, faithful, and doesn't give up. All this time the toons were stuck in the Serververse, she had been training to earn a spot under freakin' Wonder Woman. She is shown to be brave, determined, and be athletically inclined. But you also may notice, she has a smaller chest. Many people had a problem with this. Passing around a picture of her updated character design (along with 'art from the movie', which turned out to be fan art), people got upset. A lot of people also agreed, saying "We don't need sexy characters is children's media!" I personally believe original Lola was written under what we call 'the male gaze', while Lola was written in an updated manner, to give younger girls a role model to look up to. We also have to remember that both Lola's are products of their time.

Enid is a conventionally attractive character she had a thin waist, large hips and thighs, and big boobs. BUT there isn't any indication for children that she is to be considered "pretty".

Conveniently speaking, Enid is very pretty (and so is her girlfriend). She's shown in the show to wear more revealing clothes (crop tops, short shorts, etc), but isn't given any time indicators to tell the kiddos, "Hey, this is the sexy one." You see, in classic cartoons, the 'hot' characters have certain musical elements added to their scenes to set their appeal. Kids don't know what is considered to be 'attractive', so the show sets it up for them. She's just a cool, strong, female role model.

What about characters like Hello Nurse or Jessica Rabbit?

Hello Nurse is usually used in the show for the 'Hellooooo Nurse!' joke, but was also set up in season 4 to be very intelligent. Still, she never usually gets speaking parts, so while she is a gorgeous person who just so happens to be smart. Though not a fantastic female role model, I still love her nonetheless. (And, I don't think she was really meant to be a role model anyway.)

And Jessica! She was smart, witty, gorgeous, a talented singer, and a faithful wife.

My point is, we can have sexy female role model characters as well. While I wished Lola could've still had her old personality, the new one was good too! People shouldn't have gotten mad with her redesign, but I also think they shouldn't have gotten rid of her 'attractiveness' and that comedy element she had with Bugs altogether. The same thing goes in reverse -- not all cartoons have to have a 'smart and hot' character.

[britcision]

Okay but this? This is great and I love it

Harley canonically will not let a Joker plan go through if she’s alone with a crying Robin

She’ll drop the win for the baby

She does not need to be reformed to be mentoring Jazz to the best of her ability

So allow me to propose:

Jazz reaches out to Harley while she’s back in Arkham, probably post fall if there’s already a Robin around, writing her a baby letter about “you were my idol and I think only you can help me”

Harley melts like butter under a blow torch, writes back religiously, Jazz is using all code names but it’s Harley, she notices when Batgirl recognizes her and drops some references

She does warn Jazz about not therapising close friends or family but she’s not gonna rat her out, including to Batman

Maybe Jazz pretends it’s a non vigilante friend she needs trouble with a lot of the time but she’s Harley freakin’ Quinn Jazz didn’t idolize her cuz she wasn’t the best

But she never uses it against them and never tells Joker or Batman, though Dick is fucking floored when Harley pulls him aside one heist gone wrong and tells him Batgirl thinks he’s cute

And Harley is also a hopeless romantic, so yes she will orchestrate as much of Joker’s plan as possible to get the two alone together

And the other side effect of this friendship? Jazz and Poison Ivy get close too. Ivy reminds her of Sam so much and they both care about Harley and want better for her

Neither of them are pushy about it but they both have the other on speed dial so whoever finds Harley first after a breakup can call in back up

And maybe with Jazz in her corner, speaking truth in Harley’s own specialty way, Harley does reform sooner. She gets away from Joker faster, and then JAZZ gets to play matchmaker

Jazz can’t come to all the Gotham City Sirens parties, not the ones that take them too far from Gotham or include crime, but she is their honorary fourth member

Bruce VERY quickly learns that Batgirl will not just be sent away for him and Selina to fuck on rooftops, she will stay and loudly psychoanalyze them til Selina’s laughing too hard to flirt

Danny finds out eventually cuz I dunno soul magic and he is ECSTATIC to now be the “older” brother

He teaches Dick even more puns and they are insufferable

Hands over a bat skeleton.

Jazz Fenton dies in a ghost attack and is reborn as Barbara Gordon. It's not easy being a 'child genius' in Gotham, especially when you're into psychology. People seem to just be waiting for her to snap and somehow become a child villain. Which would never happen. Jazz knows better than to do something like that as a minor with no connections.

She's a lonely kid, so when the new kid, Richard Grayson, comes up to her and introduces himself at school, she's a little surprised. But despite him being a year or two younger than her, they become best friends.

Now, see, Jazz has experience with figuring out someone is secretly a superhero. So she sees the signs in Dick a week after he started as Robin and was certain about a month after that.

He's her only friend. There's no way she's going to have him alone in this. Batgirl has a different reason for flying in the night and it makes all the difference.

...she also gets her therapy license as Batgirl asap. Bruce needs help and there's no way she's going to leave him like he is. She can't help Dick like that, because it's until, but she gives tips and tricks that might help with trauma.

I'd like to add here that she tries to reach out to Harley Quinn because she is her hero and wants to ask for her to tutor her to help Dick.

[theworldasiveseenit]

son of a bitch is you, you useful idiot ,your communist , disgrace and that this idolatry for eco-terrorist ,poison ivy , PAMELA ISLEY flirts with Totalitarianism and flirt hate humanity and men and promote genocide and healthy nothing for hate office and I will never rest and how much she admit and accept innocence, humanity and bissexual for justice league and understood scoundrels?

I mean, I think I understand what you are trying to say.

You have a really big problem with Poison Ivy and her dead sexy coolness.

You apparently hate the fact that she kills people to protect the earth and she kills fictional people.

Also you think I'm a communist.

Let be be Frank for a second (yes, this is pun related to the Harley Quinn show)

You will not now, nor ever, get through to me in the manner you are approaching this subject (or with any approach really). I love her character and the message she brings forward about real life issues regarding climate change.

You don't raise points, you just attack. You also hide behind anon because you apparently can't have your views openly, which implies a weakness of character as you fear openly having discourse with another.

Based on your actions, I would assume that your inability to openly try to persuade someone to your side stems from the knowledge that your fundamental statements and behaviors are innately wrong. You are attempting to hurt people who disagree with a view point while hiding behind the shadows.

So, as I've previously stated, I love the name useful idiot. I've added it to my description but you are a small, weak, and scared person who wants to exercise "freedom of speech." I use quotes because I barely understand what your saying.

So in the spirit of the original posts that this stemmed from. I empathize and identify strongly with Dr. Harleen Freakin' Quinzel and I love that plant loving eco-terrorist. I agree with her beliefs that humanity are destroying Mother Earth. I also agree that Haley Quinn is hot as heck.

Further, I think Kite-man is a little sweetheart.

I especially love your issues with the fact that they are literally fictional characters designed to tell a story and I think you've lost sight of that. Based on your responses, a story that you have read.

So I just want you to know.

If you want productive discourse, learn to put your face on it. Learn to be brave.

Also, bisexuality is fantastic. You should try it sometime.

But until your next. Oh and hopefully harsher or more meaningful response.

Have a nice day my hateful anon!

Batman Rogue of your choice

I live! Let’s answer some asks before Phlebotomy swallows me whole again!

Batman Rogue of my choice? Obviously I have to go with my favorite. Jonathan Crane aka The Scarecrow!

How I feel about this character

Holy shit how much time do you have? I’ve loved this character ever since I re-entered the Batman fandom about say almost thirteen or fourteen years ago. First of all the idea of “the nerd from hell” as he was called on deviantart really spoke to me. Add to the fact that I had major anxiety disorders for most of my life and I had just taken my first college psych course and I really fell in love with him. He still remains one of my favorite Batman villains, if not just in general comic villains, to this day and I’ll get all ranty if he’s written incorrectly because I’ve grown attached to different source materials.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

Nobody that really comes to mind although I would love to see Jon in a relationship. Love and fear have a lot of overlaps especially early on. Plus we know from some of his backlore stories that he was/is a romantic.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

So freakin’ many. First of all the traditional 3bro pairing of him, Riddler, and Mad Hatter. Three intellectual book nerds sniping at each other. Lovely.

There’s also the unholy psychology trinity of him, Harley Quinn, and Dr. Jeremiah Arkham. I live for the few scraps of Jeremiah-Jonathan brotp that exist here on tumblr.

Finally I never thought Scarecrow and Kite-Man would belong in the same sentence but the few panels I’ve seen from City of Bane have just blown me away. Hell yeah.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

That depends on what you define as unpopular. If we’re going by Tumblr standards this isn’t that unpopular at all but if you’re going by what I am unafraid to DC Comics and die hard comic nerds that I meet at cons? Stop. Writing. Jon. As. A. Just. A. Psychopath.

It’s WAY more in character as a man obsessed with fear who embraces it and just wants other people to embrace it as well. Die hard comic nerds LOVE this one dimensional aspect of Jon as a man who’s only thought is about fear but the best Scarecrow stories are ones that remember that he’s also a survivor of abuse who was bullied relentlessly as a child and is an avid professor (or almost professor depending on the writer) of psychology. He doesn’t even gas Kite-Man when Kite-Man admits that he’s scared of Batman because Kite-Man just owns the fear and Jon’s like ‘Yeah, sounds legit’.

Other amazing things about our favorite Master of Fear?  

He once escaped Arkham and started a new life as an English teacher in a university. When he finds that one of his students has been “victimized” (it’s a kid’s comic but it’s highly implied that she was raped) he hunts down her rapist and tortures him with a variety of fear toxins. Batman stops him before he can kill the rapist.

Another comic shows Crane in an effort to ransom the city by creating a device that makes people illiterate. When Robin points out that Crane, a professor in his previous life, hasn’t spread fear but only ignorance the effect on him is so powerful that he tears up and gives up the device to Robin. 

Finally a third comic shows him gassing a girl and when she yells out for her bullies to stop picking on her it makes him remember his own childhood. Sure he doesn’t make things better when he stitches her a Scarecrow costume of her own and join him as his Mistress of Fear but he’s clearly capable of empathy.

Tl;dr: There’s more to the Scarecrow than just causing fear for the hell of it. He’s a complex character and I wish people would demand that in his stories instead of clapping like seals for writers doing the bare minimum. 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

Man, after Catwoman, Man-Bat, Riddler, Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy have all one point tried to “go good” and team up with Batman I really really need a good guy Scarecrow team up story. Crane would drive Batman absolutely crazy and I am here for every minutes of it. Like most Batman Rogues he and Bats are two sides of the same coin: Fear as both a Weapon and a Motivator. This will probably never happen though so I’m down for any other Scarecrow team ups besides him and Joker. That one has been done to death.

TDI Part 2 with my OC Kasey.

*Intro plays*

Chris: Okay. Today's challenge is three-fold. Your first task is to jump off this 1,000-foot-high cliff into the lake.

Bridgette: Piece of cake.

Kasey: Oh yeah baby! Cliff Divin’!

*Bridgette and Kasey high five*

Chris: If you look down, you will see two target areas. The wider area represents the part of the lake that we have stocked with psychotic *laughs* man-eating sharks. Inside that area is a safe zone. That's your target area, which, we're pretty sure is shark free.

Leshawna: Excuse me.

Kasey: Can I take my enthusiasm back?

Chris: For each member of your team that jumps and actually survives, there will be a crate of supplies waiting below. Inside each crate are supplies that you'll need for the second part of the challenge... building a hot tub. The team with the best one gets to have a wicked hot-tub party tonight. The losers will be sending someone home. Let's see, Killer Bass, you're up first.

Bridgette: Oh, wow. So, who wants to go first?

Crickets chirp

Owen: Hey, don't sweat it, guys. I heard that these shows always make the interns do the stunt first to make sure it's survivable.

Flashback music starts

Chris: We need to test the stunts first. You know that.

Chef: Do I look like an intern?

Chris: No, but the ones we had are all in the hospital. C'mon, just jump it, you big chicken. *cackles like a chicken*

Chef: I don't get paid enough for this, man. (screaming)

Chef: Hey, I made it. I made it, man, uh. Something just brushed up by my foot. Hey, Chris, man, something ain't right down here. (screaming and runs mid-air as the bongo running noise plays)

Chris: Well, that seems safe enough.

Flashback ends

Eva: So, who's up?

Duncan: Ladies first.

Bridgette: Fine, I'll go. It's no big deal, just an insane cliff dive into a circle of angry sharks.

Bridgette jumps

Tyler: They did it. Yeah! Yeah! I'm next. Cowabunga!

Kasey: Aww what the heck. Cowabunga dude!

They both jump. Kasey lands in the safe zone, Tyler lands on a buoy

Tyler: Oh! Ohhh. Ow.

Bridgette: Ooh.*cringes*

Kasey: Oooohh that was wicked man,

campers start jumping

Geoff: Wooooo! Hahaha!

Eva: Look out below!

Duncan jumps but says nothing

D.J.: Unh-unh. No way, man. I'm not jumping.

Chris: Scared of heights?

D.J.: Yeah, ever since I was a kid.

Chris: That's okay, big guy. Unfortunately, that also makes you a chicken. So you'll have to wear this for the rest of the day.

D.J.: Aw, man. For real?

Chris: Bawk bawk bawk! That means the chicken path down is that-a-way. Next.

Ezekiel: Yee-haw!

He hits a rock and spins before hitting the water as the team cheers.

Harold: Yes. (screams) 

Harold does the splits and lands right on his kiwis

AHH!

Everyone visibly cringes even the sharks as his scream rings throughout the camp

Chris: Oh, hate to see that happen.

Courtney: Excuse me, Chris. I have a medical condition.

Chris: What condition?

Courtney: A condition that prevents me from jumping off cliffs.

Chris: You can chicken out if you want, but it might end up costing your team the win. And then they'll hate you.

Courtney: It's a calculated risk. I've seen the other team, and I don't think nine of them will jump.

Chris: All right, here is your chicken hat. So let's tally up the results. Hold on. That's nine jumpers and two chickens. We're missing one.

Sadie: I'm not jumping without Kadie!

Kadie: We have to be on the same team, Chris.

Both: Please! Please! Can we? Can we, Chris? Can we? Can we?

Izzy: I'll switch places with her.

Chris: All right, fine, you're both on the Killer Bass now. Izzy, you're on the Screaming Gophers.

Kadie and Sadie: Yes!

Chris: That means you're up, girls.

Kadie and Sadie: We're coming, Killer Bass! (screaming)

Chris: Okay, so that's ten jumpers and two chickens. Screaming Gophers, if you can beat that we'll throw in a pull cart to put your crates on.

Trent: Nice. Okay, guys who's up first?

*nobody moves or says anything*

Heather: I'm sorry, there's no way I'm doing this.

Beth: Why not?

Heather: Uh, hello, national TV., I'll get my hair wet.

Gwen: You're kidding, right?

Lindsay: If she's not doing it, I'm not doing it.

Leshawna: Oh you're doing it.

Heather: Says, who?

Leshawna: Says me. I'm not losing this challenge 'cause you got your hair day, you spoiled little daddy's girl.

Everyone recoils and backs up from the fight

Heather: Back off, ghetto-glamour, too-tight-pants-wearing, rap-star wannabe.

Leshawna: Mall-shopping, ponytail-wearing, teen-girl-reading, peeking in high school prom queen!

Heather: Well, at least I'm popular.

Everyone either smiles at the fight or is very concerned, except Justin who looks at himself in the mirror

Leshawna: You're jumping!

Heather: Make me! 

Leshawna grabs her and holds her above her head, then tosses her over the cliff

 Heather: (screaming) Leshawna, you are so dead!

Leshawna: Hey, I threw you into the safe zone, didn't I? Now I just hope I can hit it, too. (screaming)

Lindsay: I thought this was going to be a talent contest.

Chris: (laughs) Yeah. (laughs) No.

The Gophers begin jumping

Lindsay screams

Gwen screams

Cody screams

Izzy laughs ecstatically

Justin jumps

Leshawna: Lookout! Paddle!

Justin is surrounded by sharks, he smiles as angelic music plays and they carry him to shore

Beth: I--I can't do it. I'm too scared. I'm sorry.

Cody and Leshawna cackle like chickens

Lindsay: That is, like, so lame, right?

Heather: Fully lame.

Beth walks away with a chicken hat on

Trent: Let's do this. Yeah! Whoo!

He high fives Owen before jumping

Chris: Okay, campers, there's only one person left. You guys need this jump for the win. No pressure, dude. 

Owen smiles, relaxed

Chris: Okay, there's pressure.

Owen frowns, and tenses

His team cheering for him below

Heather: Jump! Jump! Just do it, Owen. Do it!

Owen: Oh, I was pretty darn nervous.

(static)

Owen: See, the thing is, I'm not that strong a swimmer.

(static)

Geoff: I'm looking at this guy and thinking, "there's no way he's gonna make it."

(static)

Gwen: I actually thought, "if he jumps this... he's gonna die."

(static)

Kasey: Bye Bye Mr. Happy Pants. We hardly knew ye.

(static)

Chris: Take a good run at it, buddy. You can do this.

Owen: I'm going to die now. I'm going to freakin’ die now.

Leshawna: Come on, big guy.

Owen: Yeah! Oh, crap. (screams)

Owen jumps and makes a splash that sends a boat and everyone onto the beach in piles

The camera pans to a shark on a pine tree

Owen: Yes! Yeah! Oh, yeah! Who's the man?

Beth: Woo-hoo-hoo!

Leshawna: Yes.

Chris: The winners, the Screaming Gophers!

Trent: That was awesome, dude. What's wrong?

Owen: I, uh, think I lost my bathing suit.

The campers complain about Owen losing his bathing suit in the water

Team Screaming Gophers sing 99 bottles of pop.

Cut to Killer Bass

Courtney: Ow! I think I just got a splinter.

Eva: Shut up and pick up your crate... (Eva throws down the crate) Chicken.

*Kasey snickers as she walks by with a crate. Courtney glares at her.*

Courtney: Hey I'm the only one with C.I.T. camping experience here, you need me.

D.J. and Eva look at each other. It cuts back to the Screaming Gophers signing 99 Bottles of Pop.

Lindsay lags behind to pick up a seashell, before catching back up with the group.

Tyler carrying a crate.

Tyler: Ugh, I've gotta take a wiz.

Eva: Hurry up. We're already behind.

Kadie: Ooh, I hate to go, too.

Sadie: You do? Oh, my gosh, me, too.

Kasey: Ugh, anyone else?

*she sets down her crate and cracks her back, everyone shakes their head*

Sadie and Kadie follow Tyler into the woods.

Cuts to Courtney killing a fly, resulting in her hitting herself.

Courtney: Ow. I think something just bit me.

Back to the Screaming Gophers singing 99 Bottles of Pop.

Beth: Hey, look, there’s the campground.

Owen: That was pretty easy.

Cody: I'm pleasantly surprised.

Cut back to the Killer Bass

Eva: Feel better?

Kadie: Yup.

Courtney: Can we go now? I think my eye is swelling up.

Kasey: Quit complaining! Let’s go!

Kadie and Sadie start pushing a crate.

Sadie: Ew, something's itching me. Are you itchy, too?

Kadie: Totally itchy. Really bad.

Cut back to the campgrounds

Chris: Remember, you guys can only use your teeth to open the crates. I came up with that one.

*Campers are trying to open the crates with their mouths, Izzy has a rope in her mouth*

Izzy: (growling) Hey, I think I got it open.

The crate pops open.

Izzy: Ow, ow, rope burn on my tongue.

Cut back to Sadie and Kadie.

Sadie: Ooh, it's really itching now.

Kadie: Mine feels like it's burning.

Sadie: Okay, I have to scratch.

Kadie and Sadie both start scratching.

Chris rides over on an ATV

Chris: You guys are way behind the other team. Like, way behind. What's the problem?

Courtney: Their butts are itchy.

Chris turns to Courtney and notices her eye

Chris: Ahh! Oh, my boxers, that's bad.

Bridgette: Did you guys squat down when you peed in the woods?

Kadie: Yeah.

Bridgette: Did you happen to notice what kind of plants you were squatting over?

Sadie: They were kind of oval shaped and green and all over the place.

Bridgette: Were they low to the ground, about this big?

Bridgette makes a shape with her hands.

Kadie and Sadie both nod.

Bridgette: You guys squatted on poison ivy.

Kadie and Sadie: What do we do? Oh, no.

They both start yelling and panicking.

Chris: (laughs) No way. That's awesome. (laughs)

Kasey: Oh man that is soooo bad.

Kadie and Sadie begin to drag their butts across the sand.

Kadie and Sadie: Somebody, help us.

Back to the Screaming Gophers.

Owen: Hey, check it out, I got wood.

Trent: I got some tools here and what looks like a pool liner.

Heather and Lindsay walk over to Leshawna.

Heather: I just wanted to say, I didn't mean bad about you being a ghetto, rap-star wannabe, and I love your earrings. They're so pretty.

Leshawna: Straight up? Well, I'm sorry about pushing you over the cliff and all.

Heather: No worries. I needed a push. Truce?

Leshawna: Yeah, yeah, you got it.

Heather and Leshawna fist bump.

Heather and Lindsay walk away.

Lindsay: Did you mean all that stuff you said to Lefonda back there?

Heather: Leshawna. Hah, no. She's going down. And P.S. those are the ugliest earrings I've seen in my life.

Lindsay: Oh. 

Heather walks past Lindsay as she looks back before walking up to Heather.

Lindsay: So if you hate her why were you being nice to her?

Heather: You ever seen one of these shows before? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Lindsay: Oh. I'm your friend, right?

Heather: Oh, yeah, for now.

Cut to Izzy, Trent, and Noah building the hot tub.

The Killer Bass finally make it to Camp and drop their crates.

Harold: Finally.

Trent: Hey, what's up, guys?

Leshawna: Hey, aren't you missing a couple of white girls?

Cut to Kadie and Sadie with their pants down in the ocean.

Both: (sighing)

Bubbles come up behind Sadie.

Sadie: Oops.

Courtney: They're getting a drink.

Harold: Yeah, if they drink with their butts.

Ezekiel: Haha, that's funny.

Kasey: Haha! Good one! *high fives Harold*

Courtney walks up to Leshawna. Leshawan stares at her eye. Courtney covers her eye.

Leshawna: Ooh, what happened to your eye, girl?

Courtney: Nothing, just an allergy.

Ezekiel: Think it's getting worse.

Courtney: Shut up. We don't want them to know that.

Cut to Geoff on a bunch of crates.

Geoff: Okay, dudes, it's not too late. We can do this.

Cuts to Harold drooling and Ezekiel picking his nose.

Courtney: Ew.

Ezekiel: What?

Bridgette: That's really gross.

Kasey: Yeah dude. What are you? Five?

Courtney: Okay look, guys, we have a hot tub to complete, and we need a project manager, since I've actually been a C.I.T. before, I'm electing myself. Any objections?

Duncan: Where do we begin, Cyclops?

Courtney: Open the crates. Bridgette, go find those itchy girls. We need all the help we can get.

Kasey: Aye Aye, Cap’N One-Eye! *mocks salutes and high fives Duncan, while Courtney huffs*

Cut to Beth and Justin building a hot tub. Then to Harold, Geoff, and Kasey attempting to build a hot tub. Then it collapses. Back to Trent nailing something in. Then, to Duncan and Tyler fighting for a hammer, then it’s launched into Harold's 'family jewels' then gets accidentally attacked by Bridgette with a plank.

Then to The Screaming Gophers filling the hot tub with water. Then to The Killer Bass's terrible hot tub.

Chris begins to examine the two hot tubs.

Chris: This is an awesome hot tub.

The Screaming Gophers cheer.

Chris inspects The Killer Bass's hot tub and gets sprayed in the face. 

The hot tub falls apart and the seagull inside washes away.

Chris: Well, I think we have a winner here... The Screaming Gophers.

Screaming Gophers cheer

Chris: Gophers, you're safe from elimination and you get to rock this awesome hot tub for the rest of the summer. Bonus!

Screaming Gophers cheer

The KIller Bass look down in shame

Chris: Killer Bass, what can I say? Sucks to be you right now. I'll see your sorry butts at the bonfire tonight.

Lindsay: We won! We all get to stay here for another three days!

Heather, Beth, and Lindsay: Oh, yeah. Woo-hoo-hoo.

Owen hops out of the hot tub naked and dances.

Owen: Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo! Ha ha ha. Yes! We get to stay. We get to stay, we are so awesome. We won the contest.

Owen grabs and hugs Heather and Lindsay. Heather is disgusted and Lindsay is smiling.

Main Lodge.

Kadie: So--uh--what do we do now?

Courtney: We have to figure out who we're gonna vote off.

Duncan: Well, I think it should be the princess or the brick house here.

Courtney: What? Why?

Duncan: Because, unless I'm mistaken, you two are the only ones here wearing chicken hats and if we ever have to lift a truck, I like our odds with the big guy.

Courtney: You guys need me. I'm the only one--

Bridgette: We know, who used to be a real C.I.T. so would you pick?

Courtney: What about him?

She points to Tyler and Lindsay stands up.

Lindsay: No! I mean no salt, there's no salt on the table, bummer.

Duncan: Hey, hey, at least he jumped off the cliff, chicken wing.

Courtney: Shut up.

Geoff: Okay, let's just chill out. This is getting way too heavy.

Duncan: I've had enough prison food for one day. I'm gonna go take a nap.

Courtney: You can't do that. We haven't decided who's going yet.

Ezekiel: Well, I just don't get why we lost, eh? They're the ones that have six girls.

Sadie and Kadie: (gasp)

Bridgette: What's that supposed to mean?

Kasey: What did you say, punk? And if I’m not mistaken there are six girls here too.

Eva: Yeah, home school, enlighten us.

Eva, Bridgette, and Kasey surround him with angry expressions.

Ezekiel: Well, guys are much stronger and better at sports than girls are.

Geoff: Oh snap, you did not just say that.

Ezekiel: My dad told me to look out for the girls here, eh? And help them in case they can't keep up.

Eva grabs him and holds him up by his neck.

Eva: Still think we need your help keeping up?

Ezekiel: *choking* Uh, not really.

Geoff: Okay, guys, let's give him a break. I mean, at least he doesn't think that guys are smarter than girls.

Ezekiel: But they are.

Elimination ceremony

All the girls are glaring at Ezekiel.

Duncan: Dude, you've got a lot to learn about the real world.

Chris: Killer bass, at camp marshmallows represent a tasty treat that you enjoy roasting by the fire. At this camp marshmallows represent life.

Geoff flexes for Bridgette. Bridgette and Kasey giggle.

Chris: You've all cast your votes and made your decision. There are only ten marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight must immediately return to the dock of shame to catch the boat of losers. That means you're out of the contest and you can't come back... Ever. The first marshmallow goes to... Geoff. Tyler.

Tyler: Woo-hoo-hoo! Yeah! Place at the table.

Chris: Kadie. Bridgette. D.J.. Harold. Kasey.

Harold: Yes.

Chris: Sadie.

Sadie: Oh, yay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Chris: Duncan. Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening.

(Huge dramatic pause)

Chris: Courtney.

Courtney: (sighs)

Chris: Can't say I'm shocked. I saw you picking your nose, dude. Not cool. Dock of shame is that way, bro.

Ezekiel walks down the dock and leaves f o r e v e r.

 Chris: The rest of you, enjoy your marshmallows. You're all safe for tonight.

(static)

Gwen: Yep, this camp pretty much still sucks. But now that I'm here I guess I might as well actually try to win.

(static)

Kasey: That Ezekiel got what was coming to him.That no good, misogynistic-

(static)

The camera pans to the Screaming Gophers in their hot tub.

Cody: To the Screaming Gophers.

Team: To the Screaming Gophers.

Leshawna: Go gophers, go gophers.

Noah, Leshawna, and Owen: Go gophers, go gophers. Go gophers, go gophers, go, go, go gophers.

Courtney: Are you recording this? Good. They can enjoy their little part all they want, but I am gonna win this competition and no one is gonna stop me.

Kasey: Uh Courtney? You know I can hear you right?

Courtney jumps and looks startled. Courtney looks sheepish as Kasey raises an eyebrow.

RWBY Volume 6 Episode “Alone in the Woods” Micksterecap-THINGS HAPPEN FINALLY!

Hey everybody hoping you had a good week, mine’s had some bumps but I’m still dancin’ so WHATEVS-lets get to Micksterecap!

OUR EPISODE STARTS OUT-

-with Ruby thinking about reenacting her favorite scene from “An American Tail”, moon and everything-BUT-

2:05 -CAN’T due to Bumblebee angst. Look at Weiss in the middle there, no WAY she doesn’t know she’ a buffer between the two of them. Girl just wants to be warm, why does she also have to be in between passive aggressive romance drama?

Its sad times like this when a girl JUST needs a stable adult to talk to, so she GOES to Qrow-

-aaaaaaaaaaand he’s drinking...super. Way to keep it together, one of only 2 stable adults. He then tells her that he’s okay and that he’ll wake everyone up in the morning because he’s the STABLE adult he is!

A CUT TO-Maria telling Oscar about the late man of the house Bartleby, and how the farming community was going through a BIT of tough times, which I’m SURE he didn’t try to solve by using the dark arts...so sure.

Ruby than tells everyone they gotta go to sleep as they gotta get out of this rejected Evil Dead setting ASAP, which I’m sure Qrow will DEFINITELY be awake to wake up everbod-

4:13 Oooooooooooooooooooooh Qrooooooooooooooow...you got a problem man. That’s an ENTIRELY different bottle of booze. AND-just when you think his drinking problem couldn’t be even MORE of a problem-

-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH she woke up before him and saw him in this state. We’re getting real here folks, we’re tackling alcoholism, WE’RE DOING IT FOLKS!

In a FIT of anger-

-Ruby SMASHES that shit-

-WAKING-his drunk ass up-

-making him INSTANTLY realize he broke a promise due to his drinking...we are getting DANGEROUSLY close to very special episode territory here folks.

Ruby than gives him a sweet hug telling him he could talk to her and Yang about stuff, but like many people with a problem Qrow brushes it off...uuuuuuuuuuuuuh...HAMMERS! Sorry...trying to make a joke here but its just...SUCH an angst fest!

5:36 Everyone else is awake, hell Weiss even welded a hitchemup to Bumblebee(the bike not the ship) with her dust magic so the cart will attach to it! When Weiss learned welding I do NOT know but I’m glad she did!

EITHER WAY everything goes out fine without ANY proble-

-aaaaaaaaaand Qrow’s Misfortune pops the tire (Ruby, HIDE THE BOOZE).

This single deflated tired sparks a chain reaction of mental anguish, where everyone is practically giving up on the mission, Yang even tells Ruby she should just throw the Jinn lamp down the well ALSO-

7:43 These three just...STARE at Ruby until she drops it in the well...like weird sleepy zombies. Ruby attempts to toss that sucker down the well-

-while ALSO sporting a sleepy zombie demeanor like everyone else which I’m SO SURE won’t mean anything later-BUT THEN-

“Hey kid...you like balloons?”

Ruby than drops the lamp, LOGICALLY freaks out about it ALL WHILE-

-these...three sleepy bitches don’t give a SHIT! If you can ‘t tell by now, some CLEAR devil magic is being had here.

Ruby somehow being the ONLY person to not be sleepified, gets her team to join her in getting the magical lamp that the bad guy wants that is STILL a freakin priority! And I’m sure Qrow, being a mature man of body and mind will FIGHT BACK the curse holding them-

Qrow: Everyone do whatever, I’m gonna drink away my feelings.

Ooooooooooooooh right, depression.

9:29 Team RWBY jumps down the well without receiving fall damage, in what is CLEARLY Killer Croc’s level in Batman Arkham Asylum. Get the Poison Ivy spores and then GET OUT OF THERE! The four than search for the lamp-ALL WHILE-

Maria continues to read Bartelby’s diary which I’m sure will have NOOOOOOOOOOOOO relevance at all...absolutely none.

After slightly more emo than usual Blake points out their scroll’s flashlights are useless when they’re looking for a glowing lamp of infinite glowing-

-BAM-they finds that shit, and I’m sure NOTHING bad will happen when they go look for it, not Salem’s crew, not White Fang-bangers, not nightmare Grimm that suck away your will to care about anything creating utter and total apath-

-ooooooooooooooh crap, RUN OLD WOMAN! RUN AND HELP THOSE FOUR TEENAGERS WHO AREN’T USED TO THE SOUL CRUSHING NOTHINGNESS!

OH SWEET JESUS-they’re all bendy and moaning, and GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE! They even freak out Ruby-

-BUT thankfully-

-THAT was enough to wake them up from their case of the SERIOUS mondays. TERROR-the greatest alarm clock of all! Ruby THEN introduces them to the monsters of the week-

-DAMMIT-I wish I could get a better picture of how unsettling they all are, like freaky inky skeletons. Ruby then gives the FIRST volley-

11:12

-WHICH does nothing! That’s what you get for forgetting those super cross-bullets from the character short Ruby...and RWBY in general, what the hell happened to those things? Its even worse when the Apathy uses-EMO SHRIEK-

And its SUPER effective! THANKFULLY THOUGH-

OLD LADY MARIA APPEARS to save the day...by...encouraging them to run! Hey, helping’s helping, I’m not picky.

Maria: LET’S GO LESBIANS, LET’S GO!

Team RWBYM then runs ALL throughout the catacombs, running into more and more of these Grimm zombie fucks and JUST when they get to the exit-

-AND they hit em with another depression wave, they make Blue Diamond look like Holly Blue!

12:29 That don’d stop Maria, the little Yoda that could from trying to open the door-BUT-to no avail! Strong will power has its limits. ALSO-Blake has the most...HORRIFYING reaction to the Apathy’s power-

Blake:...its fine.

While she just LIES down, complacent in the absolute nothingness the Apathy gave them, just CREEPY!

Things are just NOT looking good folks, the music keeps getting creepier, the Grimm keep getting closer, and the PROM is tomorrow! But RIGHT before one of the skeledudes try to Freddy Kruger Blake-

Ruby: NO-not my sister’s almost girlfriend!

WOO-silver eyes-STUN THOSE LITTLE BITCHES!

Things seem good for like THREE seconds, Yang rushes to the door to bash it open BUT-

-they blast them with YET ANOTHER emo wave-RIGHT before Yang could get to the door.

Yang: NO-I can’t reach one of my two almost girlfriends!

Don’t lie, some of you were thinking shippy thoughts with that shot, and you DISGUST ME!

13:54 Once again its up to RWBY Grandma Katara to SAVE the day!

Maria: Ruby, what color are your eyes?

By...asking questions about eye color apparently! Also her goggles don’t look THAT distorted, I’m amazed she hasn’t guessed their silver.

Maria than gives her the ULTIMATE pep-talk, Ruby gets up and REVEALS-

-SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HA GRIMM DISINTEGRATION POWERS! AWESOME! H-wait...did Ozpin KNOW about how Silver Eye powers WORKED? Cos if he did...wwwwwwwwwwwhy didn’t he get Ruby a tutor? Because that is one BAD ASS super power!

Either way it was an attack SO awesome-

-that it fixed Maria’s eyes! HUZZAH!

Yang bashes the exit’s door, REVEALING IT LEADS TO-

15:22 -THE HOUSE...uh, yeah where else would it lead? I’m just saying EVERYONE here is surprised, including Weiss and Ruby who saw the door LAST episode. Man, intense magical apathy must do TERRORS on the memory-WHICH-is actually true for those for depression. They ALSO see-

DRUNKLE QROW-who has been ABSOLUTELY useless this ENTIRE episode due to the Apathy amplifying his depression. Seriously, I want to point out he DOES look worse in this episode than others, most times he was a functional drunk, this time he went full off the wagon.

Everybody decides to logically leave this hellish house of hell-housery-RIGHT BEFORE THE ANIMATORS-

15:37 Give us SHIP BAIT! GLORIOUS GLORIOUS SHIP BAIT!

Either way, Weiss who is absolutely DONE with being scared and apathetic does the ONLY logical thing one can do in this situation-

-SET SOME BITCHES ON FIRE! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH-their gonna toast up NICE with all that wood and alcohol there!

After pushing a belligerent Drunkle Qrow who EVENTUALLY notices the death monsters-

16:26 See that look? THAT is a combo look of both breaking from a plus 10 apathy enchantment AND instant sobriety!

Either way, everyone gets on the cart attached to Bumblebee and they get OUT OF THERE-

...rather...smoothly I gotta say! I mean what is that, 25 miles an hour? Bumblebee has a GOOD amount of horsepower for a motorcycle, wander why Yang had so much trouble trudging it through the snow earlier.

Everybody than says sorry for ever saying they’d want to quit the debatably futile mission of stopping an immortal witch, Maria gives final backstory on the apathy inducing monsters they fought being rounded up there by dumb-ass Bartleby who just didn’t want to pay Hunstmen and thought putting his friends and family into a state of constant apathy was a good idea, bla bla bla-TELL US WHAT WE ALL READY KNOW WOMAN!

Ruby: Ms Calavera, how do you know so much about the Grimm, and in the tunnels you know exactly what to say to make my eyes do that...how?

Maria: Well, isn’t it obvious girl...I had silver eyes!

BAM-a creepy as hell horror episode, more examples of Qrow’s drinking being a LEGIT problem, and SECRETS REVEALED in Maria being a Silver-eyes! DAMN what a good episode, hell the Apathy are almost as creepy as the Nuckaleave, and I LOVES the Nuckaleave!

Either way, fun episode, if you want to support my Patreon or Kofi just ask or message me, SEE YA NEXT WEEK ON MICKSTERECAPS!

OMFG I LOVE GOTHAM! 🦇❤

I look forward to this show probably the most out of all my current shows, which is pretty amazing to say about a series I was very, very unsure about during S1-S2. "Real" Batman fans shat on it from the beginning and it's kind of the red-headed stepchild of all the Batman live action series, but only a show this off the fuckin wall could capture the dramatic, campy, dark as hell spirit of the recent Batman era.

I love everything they do with the canon characters. They've diverged unexpectedly from their original origins but feel more true in where they've ended up than in many other versions. The possible exception to this is Bruce, who is played decently by David Mazouz though his physicality and voice aren't quite there yet, but since he's Baby Bruce and not Batman it can be forgiven. But I do love his dad-butler-only friend, Cockney Special Forces Alfred, played aptly by Sean Pertwee.

Cameron Monaghan is a freakin revelation. I've never seen anyone be quite this brave with the Joker. He's covered just about every possible interpretation of the character in the process of playing two distinct versions of him in their development. He's giving us what could arguably be called the definitive Joker performance, especially since he's covered every base there is on him.

The villainous heart of the whole series has always been Oswald Cobblepot and Ed Nygma though. These are two completely unique takes on the Penguin and the Riddler and how they came to be, but they both feel like real, worthy versions of these iconic villains. Their love/hate friendship-to-conflict-to-mutual-respect arc is excellent imo, and even though it disappoints the shipper's heart, it's the most believable version of a relationship that they could have.

I've really enjoyed the mostly invented female characters like Fish Mooney, Barbara Kean (who is leaps and bounds better now than in S1), Tabitha, Lee, and Ecco (who one supposes is a proto-Harley, as in some stories there are many Joker henchgirls who have filled this role). Batman has only a handful of associated female heroes/villains and most of them are younger than him, so they've definitely had to get creative.

Camren Bicondova's Selina Kyle is probably the most Catwoman Catwoman I've ever seen, since Eartha Kitt and Michelle Feiffer anyway. I've had ambivalent emotions about the show's version of Poison Ivy, though her most recent "stage" feels very canon. I wish Huntress or Batwoman or Batgirl were around, but they're like, not even born yet.

The last few seasons have been especially wacky and wonderful and I'm going to miss Gotham a lot when it's over. Where am I gonna go for my over-the-top, disturbing, child-inappropriate Batman content then?

Tonight my mom said that the series has gotten worse and worse over time and I asked her why. She said because it's so crazy and violent. I replied, "No. That's why it's BETTER."

Catwoman: Soulstealer -Sarah J. Maas

Ladies, Gentlemen, and all the other fine folk out there; she has done it again. SJM, a queen, an icon, a goddess. It took one sitting for me to devour this book and I loved every second. I mean who doesn’t love a bad girl? Especially when her reasons are so damn good. Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn come together to wreak havoc on the fine city of Gotham. Bonus, you don’t need any DC knowledge to love these books, it’s completely stand alone, but is part of a series written by different ya authors. Basically, this book was sick and you should read it. Some excellent things about this book that add to the awesome are:

The love interest is black, which is something I personally am really glad to see finally becoming a thing in YA books! POC can be more than just the best friend! So yay

Harley and Ivy 💕 need I say more

It touches on racial profiling, corrupt police and racism so that’s freakin great

Who I recommend this book to: all of you, especially if you like morally ambiguous kick ass female protagonists who kick ass and take names

I give it 5/5 stars

[queenofglassbeliever]

I mean, I get that Henvy (Step Believer) could be toxic as hell, and that a lot of the shippers are racist dipshit, but some of us actually support Jacinda and Lucy, honestly Lucy is freakin' adorable and I love her, but I also love Ivy/Drizella, them along with Alice, Hook, and Naveen are my favorite characters, and Jacinda rocked, especially in the rebellion. Really, the only reason I support Henvy is because I would love Ivy to have an epic love story (I know some people ship her and Alice, but I'm completely throwing myself for Mad Archer) and I love the potential angst... so the people who created this ship might have been complete asses who deserve to be buried six feet under, and I'm cursing the people who ruined your opinion of Step Believer, but the ship doesn't deserve so much of your anger just because of the corrupted view of some of its shippers.

(I'm responding to this on mobile, so I apologize fir any spelling errors)

Drizella came so close to poisoning Henry's heart. She showed up on the day of the birth of Henry's daughter to threaten him, his family and friends. Drizella, aligned with the coven of eight, captured Henry and poisoned him. Which forced Regina to enact a dark curse to save Henry's life. Then Henry spent two years living with grief and loneliness because he believed his wife and daughter were dead. While those memories were fake, the pain he felt was real and it was Drizella who caused that pain. And while under the curse Henry is not aware of who Ivy truly is. So when she kissed him, clearly intent on sleeping with him, he couldn't truly consent. And when he turned down her advances, Ivy ignored him and tried to kiss him again. It's not that Step Believer could be toxic. It is toxic.

You say that the reason you support Step Believer is because you want Drizella to have an epic love story. Why does that story have to be with Henry? What the appeal of that ship? What's the story? What's the angst? A young woman whose mother left, sister died, and father was murdered. A young woman who was emotionally abused by a woman who was supposed to care for her. And than found hope and love in a prince from a far off realm. If that's the epic love story your looking for, that's literally Henry and Ella's story. You want a story like that for Drizella? Why can't it be with someone else? Why not Tinkerbell or Tiger Lily or Will Scarlett? Doesn't Drizella deserve a love story with her own partner? Drizella is an amazing character and she deserves exactly that.

It's not just the shippers that tainted the ship. It was the show writers, too. The way they treated Ella by pushing her to the side. Her story and Drizella's were both important and there was no balance between them. The writers put the focus on Drizella and that fueled t g e flame.

I can't stand Step Believer. I hate it. It makes me angry. And I truly mean no rudness by this next statement, but there is literally nothing you or anyone could say that would make me change my mind about Step Believer.

Teen Wolf/SPN: Jefferson Starships

Request: anonymous asked:Can you do a one-shot where the female reader is dating Stiles and is a badass vampire hunter but also fights other supernatural creatures if she needs to, and her weapon of choice is a scythe, and Lydia Martin and Liam Dunbar get kidnapped by (insert choice of monster that isn’t a vampire), and the reader, Stiles, Scott, and Malia save them? No one turns, because it’s not a full moon.

  Stiles parked the car on the side of the road beside the forest. The four of you, Malia, Scott, Stiles and yourself got out of the car and retrieved your weapons from Stiles’ Jeep. It wasn’t a full moon tonight so this meant everyone had to be loaded. You picked up your trusty scythe as the others chose their own weapons. “Okay, so the GPS is tracking Liam’s phone and the trail leads straight to the forest.” Stiles pointed with his spiked bat covered in barbed wire and rusty nails. The three of you nodded and followed your boyfriend and his handy dandy GPS.   It was silent. The sky was almost dark and the thought of your possibly dead friends sank into your mind, spreading like poison ivy. The dingy abandoned house creaked before your feet, swaying in the wind, daring the four of you to enter.

“So.” Malia spoke, “I say we just walk in, find Lydia and Liam and if we come across the thing that’s holding them hostage, we just fight it off and kill it.”

“Yeah. No big deal. Just waltz in there and perform a grab and go rescue mission. Piece of cake.” Stiles sassed.

“Dude, C'mon-”

“I’m 147 pounds of pale skin and fragile bones. If there is a killer down there. I am a thousand percent dead. I think you two forget that not everyone is a werewolf.” He ranted.

Malia cleared her throat.

“Or a were-coyote.” He rolled his eyes. You laughed at your dramatic boyfriend before giving him a peck on the cheek. “They can’t use their abilities tonight, besides, you’ll be fine.”

“Easy for you to say-” He mumbled, “You’re the Leather-face of vampire hunters.”

 The four of you walked in, cautiously making your way through the house. The wooden boards creaked under your feet, layers of soot covering the ground. Dead end after dead end, you guys finally found Lydia and Liam, both tied up against a wall and covered in dirt and blood. Malia ran over to Lydia, shaking her.

“Hey? Hey, C'mon, we gotta get you outta here.” Lydia mumbled back gibberish, her eyes barely open. Scott untied her, you and Stiles doing the same for Liam.

“Wh-where is it?” Liam asked, his voice broken and dry. “Where’s wh-” You were caught by the silhouette of a lengthy, figure before you. It walked closer to the light, revealing itself. The man had blood running down from his mouth to his hands and fangs poking out of his gums. The intense stare down was cut short when a sharp spike extended from his wrist.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!” Stiles screeched, dropping his bat.

“Jefferson Starship,” you whispered under your breath. The creature swung its arm at you and the gang, its spike only centimeters away from slicing your face. Scott was the first one to attack, picking up Stiles’ bat and swinging at the creature. Malia joined the gruesome sight, stabbing at the ankles of the monster.

“Stiles! Come on!” You shouted. The two of you helped your injured friends out of the house and hurriedly towards the Jeep.

The both of you placed Lydia and Liam carefully in the car, buckling their seat belts and finding blankets to cover up their wounds.

“We gotta go back.”

“Yeah, um, I’ll just let you do your thing.” Stiles offered

“Wait. Where are you going?” Liam’s puppy eyes looked up at you.

“Well, we can’t leave Malia and-”

“Just make it quick Y/N, I’m in pain and it’s already getting hot in here.” Lydia winced, squirming in the passenger seat.

“Even in a near death experience, you’re a freakin’ delight.” Stiles chimed.

  With time running out, you made your way, just in time to see the tired supernatural-turned teens, fighting for their lives. You gripped the scythe in your hand and walked towards the creature. You made a sudden plunge right into the back of its spine. Catching it off guard, it let out a piercing screech that echoed through the forest. It threw Malia and Scott to the ground, turning to face you. You dodged its swings and continued slashing around its body like a dance you practiced for months.   Finally, the blood soaked creature was twitching at your feet. You held up the scythe above your head, exhaling slowly before your arms came crashing down. The creature’s head rolled to Scott’s sneaker. “Lovely.” Scott sighed.

  It was a long way back home but you were more than thankful that everyone was coming home safe and alive. Stiles held one hand on the wheel and the other over yours, his thumb grazing over your knuckles.

“So, is anyone else wondering what the hell that thing back there was, or just me?” Stiles asked

You chuckled. “They call it a Jefferson Starship.”

”They?” Liam spoke.

”Yeah, these two brothers I met a few years back.”

“Is that where you learned to hunt like that?” Malia asked

You looked out the window, your mind retrieving ancient memories. “Yeah.”

She looks so beautiful in this! The era where she wear snakes and camouflage to a nice soft comfy outfit! (She once was poison ivy, but now she’s our daisy) 😘 She’s rocking those knee high boots! FONDDKXJDB I FREAKIN LOVE IT SKXNEKD @taylorswift @taylornation

You Are Magic

Just a quick check in.

I’m feeling better after the last few posts.  They’ve been pretty depressing and weird, but I’m doing okay now.  

We open our show this weekend and I think I’m ready for it.  I’m already starting the week tired, but it’s okay.  I have plenty to keep me busy and to push the week through.  Looking forward to the next few weekends and all that they’ll bring.

Special kudos and thanks to Bestie for sending me the BEST CHRISTMAS BOX EVAR.  Included were these fun items:

 A “Nightmare Before Christmas” blanket.  I now have three of them :D

“NBC” Mystery Keychain (I got Sally!)

A hair bow whose fabric matches that of Sally’s dress

A Poison Ivy “Kawaii Kube”

A Poison Ivy makeup mirror (with what I believe to be an older drawing of PI on the cover of the mirror, super cool!)

A Wicked Witch of the West ornament

A latte & cookies set

A cauldron with hot chocolate mix (that turns freakin’ ORANGE)

And my personal favorite, two hot chocolate glasses with the Bailey’s Irish Cream logo on them. 

Woot!  So excited about it.  I sent her an equally awesome box with a bunch of stuff.  Since we live so far away, we send each other a box every Christmas (or birthday, depending on when we can send it) with a bunch of gifts.  I’ll really have to think long and hard about next year...need to one up my box.

And, as always, a shout out to my sweet Florizel.  I could go (and have gone) on for days about how wonderful he is.  Dear God, how did I get so lucky??

There is a small part of me that’s a bit scared.  I want to spend the rest of my life with this man, but it’s a battle to remind myself that he is not a mistake.  So many times, I’ve thought I got it right and was proven wrong.  This time, he IS right.  He is literally the man of my dreams and I will not lose him.  I don’t care what the evil depression voices say, they may go climb trees and jump.

He is magic.  When he speaks softly or laughs with me, it makes the demons run.  When he holds me close and kisses me, it makes me feel alive and happier beyond measure.  When he looks into my eyes and his smile dazzles the room, it keeps the doldrums and bad thoughts at bay, and I feel loved and at peace.  He’s perfect for me, and I for him.  Thank you, God...we are so lucky...I’m so glad I waited for him instead of settling.  

A better life has begun. “I look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit...”  

I love you so much.  Thank you for all you do for me, and for us.  I swear I will be that and more for you and for us.  You are magic.
