tease

summary: it was a boring afternoon ,when sapnap got an idea what dream might not like......

note : this is for @fluffallamaful lee dream month, so sad it's going to end very soon.......

24: hoody or 14:childhood games or both idk...

--------------------------------------------------

so....... dream and sapnap are currently sitting on the couch in the living room on the ends far away from eachother. dream is looking at his phone and sapnap was looking at the tv. both were kinda flustered, and they both knew that the other was not focused on what they were doing, and they are right. both of them were not focused on what they were doing and thinking about what they are going to do next.

now, i know you are so confused on what is happening, and why they are flustered so let me tell you what happened. it all started a day before, both were pretty bored, dream finished his editting too, and sapnap just finished a stream, so they were tired and it was late in the night too, but they were still bored so they were looking at some tiktoks.

the tiktoks was pretty stupid... you know it's tiktok of course many things were kinda stupid. but they were some creative, funny, telented people on tiktok too so they were enjoying it.

and sapnap seemed to get intrested on one perticular tiktok, it showed some people talking about their childhood games they used to pley often, and that light up sapnap.

"dude!, wow i am getting flashback of soo many memories!, what your childhood game at you used to play often when you were little dream?!" sapnap asked excitedly to the half sleep man beside him.

"............."

"hm?" dream processed what sapnap just said and replied "oh... it's nothing...... just hide and... seek........ i guess?" dream said wipping his eyes.

"oh...." sapnap sounded disappointed but still continued "well mine was "tease!!", man, it was a great game!" sapnap said excitedly again.

but dream just replied "oh.............. great.." cuz now he just wanted to knock out on his bad but still wanted to be a company to sapnap.

"it a tickling game!!!" sapnap said, and that got dream so off gaurd that he flinched and sat straight, "what?" dream asked, and sapnap saw that he was flustered. and smiled or much rather smirked.. cuz he knows dream is stupidly ticklish.

"ya!! you never heard of that?! i always use it to tickle my sisters, to take them down a peg!," sapnap said.

"hmmm... no? i haven't, but um...great uhh..um.. yeah.... i am going to bed!!" dream said and tried to get up and leave, but sapnap grabbed his arm and said "then we should definitely play it!" and dream replied "whAT?".

"why noootttttt?~~" sapnap said in a teasing voice and dream was even more flustered, "cuz.... um..it's sounds like a...... childish game!" dream said.

"says the one who has a gaming channel!" sapnao rolled his eyes, "fineeee guess this homeless man is wayyy too ticklish for this game... how unfortunate" sapnap said in a teasing yet disappointed voice.

"what?! no!!! i am not!!" dream said crossing his arms, "not homeless? or not ticklish?" sapnap said raising his eye brow and a sassy voice.and dream blushed and said "you are soo ANNOYING!!" dream said.

and sapnap giggled on how dream just didn't answer his question, "ok! then we are going to play, i will be the ler and you will be the lee!" sapnap said and dream's eye became wide, and said "what!? i never ace- i mean- b-but- *sigh* but that is not fair!? why are YOU are not the lee huh?!". dream asked he knows even he refused sapnap won't leave him alone.

sapnap leaned closer and said "cuz~~ i think we both know why, cutie~~ you always loved tickles~~~ hmm~~?" sapnap said and dream's blush darked, but shook his head and said " no!! i am fucking not!! no way!!" dream said hiding the obvious.

and they argued playfully for a while about it, and after some time dream was super sleeply.

so he nodded to sapnap not sure why, and fell asleep on the couch, sapnap smiled and put a blanket on dream and said "good night, guess the game starts tomorrow moring.." to dream and went to his room.

and it was the next morning. dream woke up and did his morning routine, and finally went to the kitchen amd ate cereal, and sapnap walked him and saw dream and said "oh! good morning dream!" sapnap said grabbing a bowl for his cereal.

he also sat beside the table and asked dream " so the game starts from now?~" sapnap asked.

"hm?" dream asked, he didn't remember last night, and sapnap rolled his eyes but still smiled and said "tease!~~~" in a teasing tone and that when it hit dream.

"are we really gonna play it?!?" dream asked and sapnap replied "of course" sapnap said in a 'isn't obvious?' voice and explained thay dream agreed to be the lee.

and dream again kept refusing it, but a few pokes on his tummy made him agree.

"soo..... how do we play this game?" dream asked.

"oh! how rude of me to not tell you earlier, my apologise!" sapnap said and dream rolled his eyes.

"so! in a game of tease there will be 2 players one has to be the ler and the other will be the lee!!, then the ler's goal is to tease the lee untill they just asks for tickles, and the lee's goal is to avoid it or make the ler tickle them instead, if the lee couldn't take the tease and just asks for the tickles, the lee loses, but if the ler tickles them before the lee asks for it then the ler loses! sounds easy right?" sapnap said.

"sUrE!" dream said in sarcastic voice, but then only one this hit him " hey! wait! so the lee gets tickled either they win or lose!?! that's not fair!" dream said it like for a hundred time and sapnap smiled and said " that's why it is called as lee! you dumbass, and beside isn't that what you want? honey?". with a eyebrow raise.

and dream just slightly pushed him and went to the living room and sat on the couch, and sapnap followed, "so... we gonna have a reward or a punishment for it?" dream asked even if he didn't want to play it..... maybe.

"ummmm" sapnap thought and finally got an idea.the loser have to give 100 bucks to the winner, and for the punishmen- " before sapnap could finish dream said

"woah!! are we gonna have a punishment too?!" dream asked and sapnap replied " well it will be fun that way!" sapnap said and continued saying the punishment.

"if i lost i will give you 200 bucks, but if YOU lost then you have to say everyone on the dream smp about how you sre so adorably ticklish, AND admit that you are a lee!" sapnap explained and sapnap could see that dream's eyes widened.

"WHAT! OHH HELL NAWW!! WTH, NO ABSEOLUTLY NOT! FUCK YOU! " dream said and sapnap laughed at his reaction, and replied "ohoho i too thihihnk it's not fair, cuz i have to give you 200 BUCKS and all you have to do is tell everyone a fact~~ and besides if it's not a fact, then why are you worried ~~ " sapnap said in a teasing tone that made dream blush.

"s-so you are not w-worried about losing 200 bucks?" dream asked trying to hide his blush, "nope!, only losers would worry about that! like you" sapnap said smirking, and even if his brain saying he is just digging his own grave, his ego said otherwise.

so the game had begin,and OH BOY, for a few mins sapnap did not do anything but then he started to tease dream, dream didn't even know sapnap is THIS good at teasing!, he poked at dream's side and ribs at the most least time he expected and each time he squeaked.

if that wasn't bad enough sapnap would just hold down dream just to say "how he is amazed by how MUCH that spot was ticklish" and wiggle his fingers just an inch above the belly, and just leave him like that like he did nothing, and sometimes sapnap would just whisper "tickleee..tickle...tickle!" in his ear or blow on it,

and this all made dream SO blushy and giggly, he is SO close to just tell sapnap to tickle him already, which will already be super embarassing, and he MUCH rather jump out of the window than telling everyone that he is lee.

now you may think, oh it's so easy for sapnap to win right? no.

cuz dream didn't make it easy for him, if he is going to do anything embarassing then it better be between him and sapnap than others, yes sapnap know all about his ticklishness.

but dream also know how to make sapnap tickle him instead of he asking for it, he just have to provoke him, and that's exactly what he did,

he will also tease him by just saying that he needs a massage on his shoulders, and when sapnap did he would finch and giggle and say that "opps, i am SO ticklish for thar, you see!" yes sapnap can see dream's face burning. and the other time he just layed down his head on sapnap's lap when he was watching tv and put his hands back of his head and say that "he is tired" and since he lifted his hand his hoodie will not be covering his lower belly, and sapnap had force himself not to tickle it, dream even wore a tank top just to provoke sapnap!!.

sapnap knew dream is doing all of this just trying to provoke him, and the worst past is it was WORKING!. he hate to admit it but dream is really good at it, cuz when he played this when he was little with his sisters, they would just accept the tickles, so this was new to sapnap, he is also SO CLOSE to tickling the shit out of dream, but he won't, wow guess dream would so anything to win.

and now we are finally came to where we started, they were sitting on the couch thinking of what they are doing to win, when Suddenly dream got up and walked towards his room.

sapnap got the perfect time to think what he is gonna do, but the problem is that he thinks that if he tease him like by poking him or something, it will broke him more than it will broke dream, i mean ir's just a game but still 200 bucks is 200 Bucks.

"ah!! sapnap i need your help!!" dream said while sapnap was thinking, he quickly came out of his thoughts and amd made is way to dreams room and quickly opened it, and he was not expecting what he just saw.

dream was....... stuck..?, yeah! he was definitely stuck, he was halp way putting his hoodie, but the hoodie's hand part got stuck to his chair, now he is sitting on the chair arms up, his hoodie covering his face, cuz it was only half way up and it was not covering his belly noe his lower ribs.

honesty sapnap want to burst out laughing but he was just too curious on how dream got himself into this so he didn't.

"how the fuck did you even got stuck like this?" sapnap asked and dream kinda giggled, "well you see i was putting my hoodi on then ......um...uh..i realised....that this.... was my.... old hoodi?, yeah definitely! my old hoodi, then well i got stuck only by my hoodi, but then came here to sit on my chair, when i realised my hoodi got stuck too!" dream explained.

'i can't belive i am actually doing this, god..' dream thought, if you didn't figure out already dream did this on purpose, but sapnap definitely did.

sapnap finally burst out laughing, 'god did really do this just to win the game *sigh* oh dream' sapnap thought but he would be lying of he said it wasn't working.

sapnap came closer to dream can crouched near him amd placed his hands on dream's stomach, SO close to tickling it, this was that perfect position,but there is still a chance that he could win.

but dream squeaked and said "ohohohoh! whahat ahahahre yohohou dohohoing? yohohou knononow i ahahm......" dream hated to (admit) say it but he continued " tihhihiHiHicklishihih thehehehre!!" dream's face was full on burning but sapnap giggled.

"oh! i know! and i also know that you got yourself on this position on purposeeee~~!! you leeeeee~~" sapnap said and smirked. dream quickly aaid "whaaaa?...... nooooo waaaaay!?" dream said and then shook his head and said " i m-mean!...um..uhhhh.... you know what! forget what i said i am not THAT ticklish atleast not like you!! you would be squriming like a worm!!" dream said he know it would brake sapnap.

and it did, sapnap's ler mood was on the last string and it just broke, he quickly blowed a raspberry on dream's belly, and dream bust out laughing hard.

"PTT- HAHAHAHAHHhahahaAhahAHHA!! SAHAHAHPNAHAHHAP!! HAHAHAHAHHAH" dream laughed and tried to kick his legs.

"what? isn't this what you wanted you, dreamy?" sapnap said in a teasing voice but dream ignored it, well not his face, but still and said "HAHAHAHAHHAHHAH I WOHOHOHOHHAHN HAHAHHAHAH!! SAHHAP!!" dream said and sapnap shrugged.

"well then, guess it's time you give some reward!!" sapnap said blowing some more raspberries around dream's belly button and tickled his ribs with his hands, and dream threw his head back and laughed so hysterically and wiggling.

'Okey guess it's time got out of this ho-' wait he can't he couldn't get out,oh shit, he is ACTUALLY stuck, yep he is fucked.

"HAHAHAHAH SAHAHAHAHP I AHHAHAHAHAHM ACTHAHAHAHAHUHAHAHLY STHAHAHUCK! HAHAH" dream laughed and sapnap stopped for a bit, and asked."what do you mean by "actually stuck" so you WERE stuck on purpose i know it!!" sapnap said, and strated to tickle his belly.

and dream shook his head but said " HAhahahHahahHahahAHHA okhahahahhay buhahhaht gehehhet MEHEHEH oHhohoHOHHOOHOHT OF HHEHEHHER I CAHHAHAN'T MOVHAHAEHEVE!! " dream said going back to his laughter.

and sapnap giggled in a evil way and said "AWW! so you're telling me that now your "sensitive stomach", "adorable abdomen", "bubbly belly", is all for me to work with!!? now that is just PURFECT!" sapnap said and ruthlessly wiggling his devil finger's on dream's belly.

"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH NOHOHOHOHO IT'S NOHOHHOOHT PLEHEHEHAHAHAHSE!" dream said still trying to get out of the position that he got himself into.

"aww!! i would lovee to see your face right now!!~~i know it would look like a cherry on a mint ice cream~~!!" sapnap said going to a specific rib that will make him squeak so loud.

"AH- NhohoohohNOnnono PLehehlhehase hahaHAH nohhohoHOt theHEeterheheh tHOO!!" dream absolutely squeaked high-piched that the rib has been targeted, he was growing tired really quickly, and sapnap could see it so he end it with one last thing.

he blowed a raspberry right on his belly button and tickled his ribs with one hand and the other on the his sides, and dream screamed in laughter.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!! PLHEHEHEHHSEHAHAHAHHAHAHSE SAHAHAHAHAHHAP ENOHOHOHOHONG HAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!" dream howled in laughter, he was in a ticklish (paradice) hell. his laughter turned more wheezy and silent so sapnap backed off and let him out.

dream literally melted off on the chair to the floor and fixing his hoodi, sapnap couldn't see dream's red face, he was panting and sapnap giggled and said " had fun?" sapnap asked with a eyebrow raised and sat down beside dream.

"sh.....shut.....up" dream said still catching his breath, "that was so mean!!" dream said amd sapnap smirked and replied " oh please cutie, i am a very observant preson, and i noticed that you never said stop, or tried to stop me~~ care to explain why??" sapnap said and dream blush appeared again.

but dream dodged the question and said "hey!! whatever i won!! give he my 200!!" dream said and sapnap said "uhhhhh" and took off "HEY! GET YOU ASS BACK HERE!!" dream said and chased him.

let's just say sapnap didn't go too far.

i think this game is going to be played often in this house from now on.

Intresting Reaction

Today was the day!!! After years of knowing each other and months of being on the Dream smp together Tommy was finally going to meet his best mate Tubbo! In real life!! He was bouncing off the walls, this last minute plan was the best decision anyone could have ever made ever!

Now the trip there wasn't too far but it was still long, So for the remainder of the time in the car Tommy filmed a bit for his video, that he was most definitely going to upload as soon as he got back! And couldn't stop his leg from bouncing up and down with excitement when the GPS stated that they were nearing his final destination. He was going to meet Tubbo and Wilbur! This was the best day ever!!

Once Tommy had arrived the two shared a quick hug and many high fives. Tommy got a tour of the Tub House! And said hello to his siblings while the parents talked, It was already alot of fun but the fun had only just begun!

The two took off to the beach once they got the go ahead. Tommy filmed their sea adventure as the blonde tried to stand up on the paddle board ultimately making the two of them fall over into the water.

"I survived guys, I'm alive" Tommy stated as he pointed the camera towards himself. The two had some great laughs and genuinely enjoyed the well needed company.

As Tubbo tried to get back on the board to sail them back to land Tommy splashed the bee boy with some of the sea water as Tubbo scolded him for it, splashing the blonde back, the two kept pushing each other off and were having a great time, once the two settled a bit Tubbo let Tommy sit on the end of the board watching the sea life beneath them as Tubbo paddled them both back to shore.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Tubbo said with a gentle smile as Tommy hummed with a smile in response watching the fish go by

"You've got a great place and area man! Im jealous!" He joked as Tubbo giggled with him

"You're welcomed here anytime big man"

Tommy's smile grew wider before the board hit the rocks, "Alrighty, off my ship!"

"Pfft!" Tommy laughed, getting off and helping Tubbo carry the board back to his place.

After getting told off in a loving and joking way for entering the house soaking wet from swimming around in the ocean the two changed into some dry clothes chilling in Tubbo's room before Tommy's big brain sparked an idea

"You wanna stream? Chat wouldn't ever suspect a thing, I'll stream from your account! Please! It'll be so cool!"

Tubbo laughed and got out of his chair for Tommy to sit and get everything ready, "sounds good to me!"

Thus started the Tommyinit tradition of streaming on everyone's account that he met up with with their set up and things!

"HELLO?!"

Tommy shouted as the starting soon screen turned to Tommy's face in Tubbo's room on his account

"Sup Stream!"

The chat was going nuts! It was great!

"Im with, im with Bitch boy"

Tubbo made a face at him before they logged onto the dream smp to hang out, maybe do some pranks, it was going great!

"'This is wholesome', no its not!" Tommy said reading out some of the chat as Tubbo's character walked along prime path.

It was perfect, they were watching animatics and having a great time until Tommy got too excited and accidentally kicked Tubbo's pc which accidentally ended the stream, oops!

"Im so sorry Tubbo!"

"It's all good mate!"

It was fixed in no time but they didn't feel like starting a new stream, they both just wanted to enjoy time together so that's exactly what they did

The two went back to the beach, just to walk it this time. They walked and talked about all sorts of things from serious to silly they were really enjoying every minute!

"Look at this one Tubs!" Tommy had picked up a beautiful dusted ruby colored rock, the color was perfect faint enough and shined beautifully with the sun

"Oooo" the pair admired it before Tubbo showed the blonde a beautiful faint yellow one he found

"That ones huge! I love it!"

"Wanna throw it?"

"Hell yeah!!"

Shoving some seaglass into their pockets as well the two decided to head back before it got too late, the sun was slowly getting ready to fall with the moon patiently awaiting their performance in the sky.

"Lani?!" The blonde called out to his best friends younger sister as she walked over to the pair

"Here you go!" Tommy smiled handing her the ruby rock as she smiled and thanked him, heading to her room to put it on her desk.

"You gave it to Lani?" Tubbo giggled a bit rasing his eyebrow

"What!? I thought she'd like it! Buzz off man" Tommy giggled pushing Tubbo in the process

"Im messing with you that was lovely of you Toms" the brunette ruffled the youngers hair as Tommy grumbled before they walked back to Tubbo's room.

Tubbo was his best friend, his family was like his second family so that's why he wanted to give Lani the rock. Both boys knew that and Tubbo agreed that Tommy was family and that Tommy's parents were his second family too! And he couldn't be more happy about that fact.

So happy in fact that Tubbo gave Tommy a hug out of nowhere, his actions were of course returned by the blonde but still he questioned the brunette anyway

"Whahat was that for?"

"Felt like it"

Tubbo answered as the blonde giggled once more, the two went out to move their TV party to the living room couch when Tubbo's parents announced they were going to head out with Tubbo's siblings for a bit.

Throwing back on their favorite show the pair smiled in this shared comfortable scilence, just them and the tv, no cameras in their face or people to interact with, a bit of peace if you will,

Short-lived peace if anything. In the scilence Tubbo had shifted his head down onto Tommy's shoulder the blonde looking at him smiling with his eyebrow raised before turning his attention back to the TV.

"what happened to not being good with physical affection big man?” Tommy stated, his eyes still glued to the tv as Tubbo audibly growled jokingly, his peace disrupted by this question,

"Comfy" Tubbo said with a jokingly annoyed tone making Tommy giggle

"Im comfy?"

"Yes"

"Good to know, but this isn't all man, you've been extra touchy and Clingy today, I thought that stuff bothered you?" Tommy was still being lighthearted but it was a genuine question, he didn't want to make Tubbo uncomfortable is all, that's why he asked too

Tubbo pushed and practically headbutted his head further into Tommy's shoulder as the blonde giggled a bit louder

"Ahahalright I'll drop it" Both smiling wide things were going good, except soon Half-way through this one episode Tommy needed to move but he didn't want to disturb Tubbo so he bounced his leg until he stated to the brunette

"Tubs I love ya pal and I love this platonic affection that's going on but I gotta move so either you get your head off my shoulder or you get removed by force" he half jokingly stated giggling a bit as Tubbo smirked and shook his head 'no'

"You can't evict me from my house Tommy, your shoulder is my house now and I'm not leaving weather you like it or not!" The brunette joined in the fun giggling a bit too before Tommy smiled

"Suit yourself" the taller of the two had begun to push at the smaller's head but alas he wouldn't budge! That's when he decided to move down and push his side to get him off.

The noise Tubbo made shocked not only Tommy but himself as well

"Tubbooo~ what was thatt?~"

"Nothing!" He was quick to respond scrambling away from his former "house" as he moved down the couch, Tommy followed with a smirk until he his back hit the end of the couch

"T-tommy! Let's talk about this!"

His smirk only grew as he lowly chuckled at his right hand man "Excellent! We will talk about it! Answer me this then since you really want to talk about it, Are you Ticklish Tubbo?~"

"Whaaaat! ME! Never! How dare you suspect such a thing!"

Tommy laughed a little while wiggling his fingers teasingly at the other "oh yeah? You're not ticklish? Mind if we test that theory out mate?"

"N-noho need! Bossman heheh!" Tubbo was practically in a ball at this point at the end of the couch as he watched Tommy's wiggling fingers got closer and closer to him getting ready to attack at any moment!

"What's wrong Tubs? You seem nervous, afraid that my wiggly fingers are gonna tickle tickle tickle all over your tickle spots? I thought you didn't have any? Tubbo! Don't tell me you lied to me now?~"

A hue of crimson circled Tubbo's face before he blurted out his hands in front of him for protection

"Wahait! Tohohoms! I didn't mean to-"

"Do you know what happens to people that lie to me Tubbo?"

"W-what?"

"They get,,,,Tickled!!" And with that Tommy's quick hand wiggled all ten tickly fingers into the smaller's sides as Tubbo kicked his legs out rolling from side to side to try and escape Tommy's tickly wrath.

"NAHAHA THOHOohohoMY!!!"

"Yes Tubbo? That's my name!" He quickly skittered over the exposed skin on his sides that was created from all of the rolling,

"EEE! NOHohOHoT FaHaHaiR!" Tubbo continued to giggle away grabbing at Tommy's hands in the process to try and push them away, nothing worked but honestly he wasn't complaining.

"Oh I think this is plenty fair Tubso seeing as you lied to me" he continued this bit he was doing, smiling brightly as he skittered up Tubbo's ribs, towards his underarms.

"Tickletickletickletickletickle!" Tommy giggled saying the word tickle on repeat in a baby voice as he skittered up and down and back up Tubbo's ribs making sure to get the in between areas of his ribcage as well leaving no spot untickled

"TOHOhoOHMMY!!!" Tubbo's legs softly pounded the couch behind the pair as Tommy evilly giggled "IhIhiHiM SOHOhohorryy!! HEHE!"

Tommy smirked "good! Im glad you have admitted to your mistakes now laugh for me bee boy!" He giggled wiggling his fingers into Tubbo's underarms as they shot down to his sides with ease and speed.

"HAHAhahaha!!" Tubbo wiggled a bit before letting his body fall fate to the tickles

Tommy sat smiling wider, seeing his best friend happy was all he ever needed.

"You've trapped my hands Tubbo! What am I supposed to do now!" He stopped wiggling them for a minute while Tubbo got his breathy giggles out,

"Gehehet them ouhuHAHA-OUT! THOHOHOMMYY!! HEHE!" Wiggling his fingers once again Tommy laughed along with him

"You've gotta release my hands Tubs!"

"TOhHoMmY! PLEheAse!"

"Okay okahay!" Tommy got his hands out from Tubbo's underarms rasing them up to quickly move them only inches away from the brunettes stomach.

"T-Thohohommy! Please don't!"

"Don't what Tubbo?"

"Tihickle me! WAIT!-"

"Tickle you? I'd be happy too! Tickletickletickletickle I gotcha now Tubbo!"

"TOHOHOOHMMY HAHAHAHA NAHAHAHAHA PLEAHAHAHASE!"

"Hey Tubs do you like raspberries? Because I think they're delicious!" He took a deep breath in before blowing the biggest raspberry ever on the center of Tubbo's stomach shaking his golden locks around with it to make it tickle more.

"AH! HAHAHAHAHAHA TOHOHOMMY! MEHEHERCY! HEHEHE!"

"Hahaha ahahalright! Im all done big man!" He rubbed away the ghost tickles before helping him sit back up, the tv still going with a show that's now long forgotten by the pair as Tubbo continued giggling with his breath and placing himself right back on to Tommy's shoulder.

"Im glad you liked it Tubs"

"WHA-?!"

"It was obvious but don't worry I won't tell or say anything to anyone, and between you and me I don't mind it either but that's for another day"

"Pfft, lee!"

"I am not! If anything you're the lee here bee boy! More like lee boy!"

The two joked before Tubbo poked Tommy's face "shush, sleep time"

"Sounds good king, sleep well my friend!"

"You too Tommy you too"

It wasn't long before Tommy did eventually fall asleep along with him, Tubbo's parents putting a blanket over them letting them sleep in peace, they deserved it, it was so great to see the pair finally meet in person, it was a day and night they would never forget!

The Umbrella Academy, S2

I was pretty underwhelmed by the first season of The Umbrella Academy, and if it weren’t high summer with hardly any new TV to be seen, I might not have bothered with the second one. But to my surprise, season 2 of The Umbrella Academy is a massive - and, to my eyes, deliberate - improvement on the first. It’s not great TV by any stretch, but it’s engaging and fun to watch, and you find yourself caring about the characters and wanting to follow along with their story, all things that the dour first season failed to achieve.

My fundamental problem with the first season of The Umbrella Academy is that the show failed to convince me that its core family was worth saving. The basic premise of the show - seven superpowered children raised by an abusive tyrant who saw them purely as instruments to be deployed, and played psychological games intended to grind down their independence and prevent any chance of their feeling a stronger loyalty to one another than to him - is obviously a rich and evocative one (albeit also one that requires a depth and complexity of writing that very few superhero shows evince). But the premise of the first season - the surviving Hargreeves children, reunited at their father’s funeral, have to find a way to overcome their differences and move past their difficult upbringing or the world will literally end - kept bumping up against the simple fact that I didn’t want this family to endure. The Hargreeves were so mean to one another, and seemed to have so little affection for each other, that I couldn’t make myself believe they wouldn’t be better off just going their separate ways.

The show itself seemed to realize this, because it ended the first season with the Hargreeves’ dysfunction and inability to honestly address how badly they’d mistreated one another ultimately being the cause of the apocalypse, and with the siblings deciding that their only possible course of action was to reset their lives and rebuild their relationships from the ground up. It was the show tacitly admitting that the Hargreeves family was unsalvageable, and while that’s a bold storytelling choice, the writing just wasn’t there to support it. I finished the first season feeling rather fatigued with both the story and the characters, and uninterested in watching them relive their lives.

The second season feels like a soft reboot of that premise. The trip through time on which the first season ended is retconned - instead of sending their consciousnesses back to their childhood selves, the Hargreeves instead end up as their own adult versions in the early 1960s. The apocalypse they fled 2019 to avoid and were hoping to prevent by reliving their childhoods and repairing their relationships from first principles is essentially forgotten. Instead the Hargreeves focus on preventing a different, new apocalypse scheduled for November 25th 1963, and once they succeed at that, 2019 is altered in unspecified ways that prevent the end of the world from happening.

Most importantly, the Hargreeves suddenly feel like a family. A dysfunctional family, to be sure, whose members have to figure out how to relate to one another now that the abuser who shaped and poisoned their relationships is finally gone. But there is a suddenly a lot of affection between the siblings, even if most of it is expressed through teasing and needling at one another’s weaknesses. In S1, the Hargreeves felt like people who genuinely had no interest in knowing one another. In S2, they feel like people who don’t know how to relate to each other, but want to figure it out.

You see this in a lot of other things that the second season does to respond to frequently-voiced complaints about the first season. In S1, everyone hated how domineering Luther was and how badly he treated Vanya, so almost the first thing he does in S2 is apologize to her for his failings as a brother, and acknowledge that a large portion of the fault for her breakdown falls on him. Everyone was a bit weirded out by the Luther/Alison ship, so it gets barely any play in S1 (though with a bone thrown to the shippers right at the end). Everyone was charmed by Klaus and Diego, so they both get major storylines (and Diego, in particular, is softened and made more vulnerable, the better to take advantage of David Castañeda’s charisma). Everyone wanted more of Ben, so he becomes more vocal and even gets to interact with characters besides Klaus. Everyone got tired of Alison namechecking a daughter that we had no intrest in, so she barely comes up even though Alison is not only separated from her by a distance of sixty years, but last saw her in a world that was being destroyed by a meteor impact. And everyone came away from the first season saying “no way Vanya is straight”, and lo, she is not straight.

It’s an approach that you see in other Netflix shows - Stranger Things, in particular, is practically defined by its responsiveness to audience complaints, with each season overcorrecting in the direction of whatever reaction was most loudly expressed over the previous one. Ideally, you’d want showrunners to have a strong enough sense of their characters, story, and world that they don’t need the audience to function as a cowriter, but in the case of The Umbrella Academy, these changes are mostly to the good. I might have liked the darker story the show seemed to be telling in the first season, about a group of abused children who genuinely don’t like each other but also can’t relate to anyone outside of their family, but the writing wasn’t there for it. The lighter, softer version of The Umbrella Academy delivered by S2 actually works, so the show should stick with it.

It certainly helps that the second season shoulders several topics that I wouldn’t have expected the show to be able to address with any amount of grace. I have to admit that I cringed when I realized that Alison, trapped in the South in the early 60s, had joined the civil rights movement, because superhero stories do not have a great track record dealing with social justice, much less real-world movements. But the handling of this issue ends up being smarter and more effective than I could ever have hoped. It’s still a side-story to the main event of preventing the end of the world, but in the scenes and episodes that do place it front and center, the show is unflinching. The depiction of the lunch counter protest that Alison and her group organize, and of the vicious hostility they encounter for such a small, simple demand, is unsparing. It establishes both the depth of the hatred and violence that the protest arouses, and the impossibility of resisting “peacefully” against a system the views any assertion of your humanity as an act of violence.

I was also a bit concerned over the placement of Alison, in particular, at the center of a story like this. Obviously, as the only black member of the Hargreeves family, her experience in the 1960s would be unique, but she’s also a character who has been established as being too powerful for her own good, and having abused her power in order to dehumanize others. Placing her in a situation where she is being dehumanized because of her race felt like creating a fruitless tension, where Alison might feel reluctant to use her powers despite the fact that she is all-but powerless against the greater system of white supremacy. But again, the season manages to thread the needle, showing both the allure and the limitations of Alison’s mind control abiliites in the context of Jim Crow. I didn’t love the implication that Alison would almost immediately start misusing her powers once she decided to use them to open doors that racism had closed to her, but the show also makes it clear that her anger is justified, and her targets deserving.

By the same token, I heaved a great sigh when the season introduced Harlan and I realized that he was neuroatypical, because it felt almost inevitable that some aspect of the strangeness that follows the Hargreeves around would result in him being “cured”. But that didn’t happen! The season treats Harlan like a valuable and loved person who doesn’t need to become more “normal” for his life to be worth living. And though he does end up needing to be cured, it’s not of his autism, but of whatever Vanya does to him when she saves his life. I kept expecting the the moment when Harlan would turn to his mother and start speaking, and the fact that the season kept refusing to go there feels almost miraculous.

So yeah, the whole thing feels like a breath of fresh air, and as if the people at the helm are thinking a lot more deeply about their story, what works in it and what needs to be changed for it to work, than I would have said at the end of the first season. It’s still not an amazing story (part of the reason we’re able to spend so much time on subplots like Vanya’s romance with Sissy, Klaus’s cult adventures, Alison’s activism, or Diego and his conflicted relationship with Lila, is that the spine of the season is fairly perfunctory) but it does enough with the characters that I found myself genuinely interested in their relationships and eager to see how they would develop. I’m not used to shows rebuilding themselves like this, and it’s refreshing to see that even in the streaming era, that can still happen.

Lost - Peter Parker

Pairing: Peter Parker x Stark!reader

Summary: After Tony dies Peter becomes distant. The reader has a big crush on him and when she goes to his home to ask for explanations she finds him kissing with her best friend.

Words: 2.5k

Warnings: just some mistakes 'cause English isn't my strong language and some (a lot) of angst

Peter'd just lost his father figure, his mentor, his inspiration in a freaking finger snapping, literally and now he was completely locked up in his room, he rarely went to school, he skipped classes and cried his heart out, he refused to talk to May, Ned, MJ and even his best friend Y/n.

Y/n was a beautiful girl he met in seventh grade, they immediately became close but they stopped talking as soon as Peter decided to cut her off from his life, he was too devastated to even look at her, she made it even more complicated, being Tony's daughter she reminded him of her dad.

Y/n had tried to contact him in every way possible, she texted him, called him, even sneaked into his room with the only result of being kicked out by Peter. She was beyond shocked, suddenly your dad dies and your one and only best friend leaves you.

All was sad and heartbreaking.

One night, as she was crying on her bed like every other night Morgan came into the room rubbing her eyes tiredly "I heard you crying Y/n/n" the little girl smiled softly as y/n hid his face in her pillow "I'm not" she tried to say, but her voice was shaking and all the sobbing didn't help, so little Morgan climbed on the bed.

"Pete is a bad guy" she pouted stroking her sister's hair "no hun he's just sad like us that daddy died" y/n said now facing Morgan "but daddy is right here" Morgan said pointing to her heart, the older sister smiled softly "I know baby"

In that moment Pepper stormed into the room "oh Morgan here you are! I had a heart attack" she said before realizing her stepdaughter was crying "oh for god's sake Y/n what happened?" She asked before sitting on the bed "I guess I just miss someone" the woman smiled softly "Tony or Peter?" She just asked "both I guess, I feel like a big piece of me is gone missing"

Pepper kept her smile on "honey, I'll call May, what about you go to Peter's house tomorrow?" Y/n nodded hesitantly "can you sleep with me tonight? Both of you" y/n's eyes filled with softness as Megan lied on top of her and Pepper beside her "good night babies, I love you so much" no need to say that they fell asleep as soon as she said that.

______________________________________

That morning Pepper and Megan woke up early to make Y/n some breakfast while she was sleeping peacefully.

Only a bunch of minutes later the girl woke up, her eyes staring at the ceiling as she was thinking about meeting Peter, she was scared he would've kicked her out again, she feared that Pete was wasn't intrested in being friends with her anymore.

But she decided to just get up and sit on her desk to do some homework, she wasn't even hungry, her eyes gazed to the big amount of photos that were pinned on the wall, most of them were with Peter and Tony but there were some of her birthdays, and even a few with the avengers.

Pepper and Morgan walked into the room smiling "hey hun we have something for you" pepper said as she gave her older daughter a plate with y/f/f, she smiled softly and thanked them as she began to eat.

Morgan stared at her like she was the most beautiful woman in the world, the little girl saw her big sister as the most strong, beautiful and caring person in the world as well as her mom, Y/n was like an example to follow, a guide.

As Y/n finished to eat Pepper placed her hands on her shoulders "you should really go talk to Peter" the girl nodded "I'll drive you if you want, I'll wait you outside in case things go wrong okay?" Y/n nodded once again and stood up taking her phone "can we go now?" She asked making Pepper give her thumbs up.

The car ride was short so the silence wasn't that awkward, as soon as Y/n knocked at the door aunt May opened it letting her in "hi Y/n I'm so glad to see you" she smiled "it's nice to see you too May" she engulfed Y/n in a tight hug "is Peter home?" She asked "I don't know I just came home, you can go check" May scrolled her shoulders, you smiled and began walking to Pete's door.

You'd thought he'd be crying in his room, or maybe doing his homework but you never thought he'd be in his bed with Michelle, his hands on her but as they were kissing- almost making out "I- uhm sorry I didn't mea-" MJ's eyes shot open and Peter looked almost scared of the girl that entered the room.

"I- uhm I am going to go, glad to see you moved on Peter, see you at school MJ" Y/n walked away, tears streaming down her cheeks, Peter had been her crush ever since the two of them met and also if she knew he wasn't going to reciprocate the feelings for some reasons it hurt, it hurt so much.

"Y/n wait!" Peter yelled, but she was ready in the car, he'd just lost the second person he cared the most about but now it was her fault.

she didn't even say goodbye to May, she just ran to the car and sat on the passenger seat. Pepper stroked her hair "what happened sweetheart?" She asked "MJ a-and Pete t-they were k-kissing" she sobbed "I am gonna kill that boy!" Morgan yelled angrily from the back seat, Pepper nodded "I am with Morgan" Y/n smiled a bit still sobbing.

As they got home Y/n' s phone began going off, but she ignored it. She lied on the bed sobbing and crying, why did love hurt so much? She screamed into the pillow to make sure no one would hear, then she just stayed there, here face was hidden in the pillow while she began to fall asleep.

She overslept until dinner time, she hadn't even eaten anything.

was Peter tired of her? Was he mad? What did she do to make him mad? Why didn't MJ tell you anything about it?

Those were her thoughts, he suddenly just disappeared from her life and then started dating her best friend behind her back, it was all so confusing.

Pepper looked at her worriedly "Y/n go rest a little, you'll feel better tomorrow okay?" Pepper smiled and her daughter smiled back before going to bed and crying before actually falling asleep.

The problem was that she even dreamed about Peter, she dreamed about the first time she met him

It was a beautiful day in Queens and Y/n was off to her first day of school after the summer break, she was walking along the street, a lot of people was going to work, and they were walking fast, and lucky girl she is Y/n stumbled on a freaking something she hadn't noticed, she began falling and all went in slow motion (cliche much aha) she thought she'd just humiliate herself in front of everyone by falling on the ground but an arm caught her waist, she was shocked. She turned around to see who it was and in front of her stood a cute boy, some of his curls fell on his face as he began to smile "thank you..." the guy smiled "P-peter, Peter Parker" she smiled at his stuttering "I hope to see you around, maybe when I am not falling"

Y/n woke up sweating and crying as she'd had her worst nightmare, she looked beside her, the phone was still buzzing so she just decided to check it out, there were 23 missed calls from MJ, 10 from Ned and 45 from Peter, 47 texts from MJ, 32 from Ned and 78 from Peter, she stared at her phone for a moment and decided to call only Ned back.

"Y/N! I was so worried! Pete told me about what happened!" He yelled through the phone "hi Ned" Y/n whispered "are you crying?"

"Uhm I think a little"

"Y/N no! Don't cry"

"Yeah yeah I'll try"

"Talk to Peter"

"Last time I tried it didn't end well" she frowned

"Pretty Please Y/n he's worried as hell"

She shook her head "bye Ned" she said before hanging up.

A big amount of thoughts floated in the girl's mind, she was insecure, did she have to call Pete? Or just read the messages? Was calling MJ an option? She nodded at herself, reading MJ's texts and then calling her seemed a good idea.

She opened MJ's chat, almost all the texts was just MJ calling her friend a dumbass but apart from that MJ was worried sick.

Mj: Y/n please answer

Mj: I'm a bad friend I know, I knew the fact that you liked Peter but I still messed up badly

Mj: me and Pete broke up

Mj: he's worried af Y/n

Mj: he thinks you're going to disappear

Y/n hesitated a little before pressing the call button "Y/n! You dumbass!"

"Hi MJ" she pursued her lips "I'm sorry I overreacted" she said, whispering.

"No it's my fault, I thought I loved Peter, but I don't, I realized it's you that deserve to be with him" MJ could feel Y/n smile through the phone

"I don't think he reciprocates but thank you MJ I love you, see you tomorrow"

"He does"

"How are you sure?"

"I know that dumb ass"

"I hope so bye MJ" she didn't even let her friend talk, she just hung up.

Two out of three cleared things with Y/n and she was extremely happy about that but calling or texting Petere wasn't an option.

The girl just decided to have lunch before actually beginning to think about her last friend.

"Y/n! How are you?" Pepper asked as Y/n entered the kitchen, grabbing some dishes from the sink "I'm okay, I've just finished talking with Ned and MJ" she replied as she put the plates on the table and began to set the table "and Peter?" Morgan asked from the livingroom, Y/n froze "nope" she simply said before getting the table done.

"Hey honey I just wanted to say that I love you and I'll support you in every way possible okay?" Pepper said, the girl smiled softly and hugged her "I love you too mom" Pepper froze but grinned widely "you just called me mom" she said "I know" Y/n pulled away smiling.

________________________________________

Some days passed, Y/n'd completely ignored Peter, she was sure he was not reciprocating her feelings so she just escaped from him.

She was mad that his two best friend were together but she was even more upset over the fact that they were hiding everything from her and while Peter wanted to see MJ he didn't want to see Y/n

Peter on the other hand tried to talk to her, he tried in every way but she refused to talk to him, and he couldn't explain why, he didn't know what he did wrong.

He realized, after breaking up with MJ that he didn't consider Y/n a friend but a lot more than that, and maybe he knew that even before.

He'd talked with Ned that day, he just called him to tell how he felt.

"Peter"

"Ned, I realized something"

"What Peter?" His friend said with a hint of annoyance in his voice

"I think I'm in love with y/n"

"Wow Peter everyone knew but you"

"Why are you being so rude Ned?" He'd asked innocently

"Because you completely avoided y/n, she tried in every way to get to you but you decided to date MJ to forget her. Congratulations Peter you just won the "Best Ass Of The Year Award" "

Peter sat down on the ground holding his face with his hands and covering all the tears that were escaping his eyes, he was shocked about what his friend just said, but he also knew it was the truth

"I know Ned, I know"

Y/n was home smiling and scrolling down her Instagram. Peter was always on her mind but watching some funny video on instagram made her feel better.

Morgan lied on her bed, her head on Y/n's head, she was sleeping pacefully when suddenly someone knocked at the window Y/n stood up moving cautiously to not wake up her sister and glanced over the window where the one and only Peter Parker waited for someone to open.

"What the hell are you doing here Parker?" The girl'd asked "we have to talk y/n" he answered "I don't want to talk to you Peter"

"But I do Y/n!" He yelled, waking Morgan up "congratulations Parker" Y/n walked away picking her sister up "Peter Parker I am going to hurt you badly" the little girl hissed, y/n hid a smile while Peter stood there dumbfounded "I know what you did to my big sister you're an ass: she said again" the girl gasped at the bad word and told herself to talk to Morgan later.

"Y/n can I talk to you please?" She nodded "I couldn't see you Y/n you remind dad me too much of him, I distanced myself from you so I would suffer less and it's selfish I know, but I have been so stupid lately, I have been all shook up and I couldn't think straight, I started dating MJ and begged her not to tell you anything. It's all my fault but now that I think about it I don't want to lose you Y/n because I love you, I love you too damn much" Morgan slapped her face shaking her head while Y/n was now standing frozen and dumbfounded.

"You're crazy if you think I'll forgive you Parker" Y/n said harshly "please, I won't make this mistake anymore, I-if you don't love me I'll understand but please let me make up for my mistakes" Peter begged but she shook her head in no "can I do something before you stop talking to me definitively?" He asked "one thing" she said before putting Morgan down they walked closer to each other before Peter pressed his lips onto hers, she was shocked at first but kissed back almost immediately "ew please" they pulled away smiling, Morgan stood now between the two of them and faced her sister "you forgive him" she said before turning to Peter "and you, hurt her again and you're dead" the two teenagers looked at each others "I love you too Peter" she smiled Morgan hugged Peter "I love you a good 1000 Pete" she said making everyone laugh "I love you two a good 2000 well maybe Y/n has a 2001" they laughed again then Y/n cupped his face with her hands and pressed her lips onto his "see you tomorrow dumbass" and with that he walked away from the window and Y/n didn't even know why... she'd still a lot of things she didn't know about the sweet boy.

*It was a fine day he walked down the street under the sun that warmed up his skins. Routines that have helped us to be in vibe for the whole thinkers he. *

Sarah:Hey you!!!.

Sam:Hey Sarah... What are you doing here!?

As usual Not seeking likes or anything but attention for sure as i found a post and read the caption i felt to share this aswel, that you see in next oictu if you'll swwip .. This morning i got to know about a news about this person who's even name isn't familiar to me. I wasn't reacted much on it but unfortunately that's terrible and another loss atleast to someone. Yep all i know him as an actor by his face, never intrested in serials and don't even watch much movies but yeah I've seen this smile his face so many times. Getting this news was surprising. I don't know what to write like many others must have shared about him over these social media and all so it may look like just following the stream but all i want to talk about what we people go through in iur daily life, Such smile and personality and a public figure, for them we think their lives are easy and sorted. But one day all of a sudden we get to know about such stories and incidents. It's not about name fame or money. It's just our lives and our mental health. Not just social media as his friend's saying in that ss I've shared but depression is there .. Social media/virtual comparison anxiety real lifestyle routine rituals i dunno and i don't even know what i am writing because i know i am not good at expressing even if i write 100 pages. Well, getting to know about such incidents we started talking about depression, help, support, and all but the irony is no one in usual term comes to standby us, that might sound rude but that's real. He has various issues as the news coverage of the story tells us but he only knew what was going in his life and his head his body and what was wrong. No one like to attempt such, they have people they love it's not easy and neither i promote or support it but don't make it tabboo. Suicide and these Thoughts are topics needs to be figure out what's wrong with soemoens life and needs to be discussed always we all need love and someone to be with us. We sometimes feel toooooo damn low that our mind gets blocked or it becomes noisy. I sgill dunno what i am writing sorry but everything is fkcing disturbing . 🙏🏼 Love Love Love Love Love ♥️ Mahadev 🐾 (at Durga Mandir, Varanasi) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lmjovpBaG/?igshid=arbp3snv5fm4

The Goal (Ethan Nestor X Reader)

It was once again that time of the month, the only that had the team would get really giddy about. Charity live streams. But Ethan was unusually hyper and that says something. He’s always hyper. “Ethan what’s wrong with you?” Kathryn asked as the blue haired boy who was fiddling with cameras and wires for the stream. He looked up with sheepish smile, “Wh-W-hat are you ta-talking about?”. Kathryn didn’t say anything further just turned to her seat and looked for more charities to call. She knew something was up, she was close to Ethan and was confused on why he was acting so strangely. When she turned back around to see why the room had fallen silent she seen Ethan with a strange look on his face, almost anxiety but zoning out at the same time. The last time she seen him this nervous was when he started bringing (Y/n) around. But that was years ago, they’d been dating long enough, so whats going on? "Hey-Hey-Hey!” (Y/n) said in her usual happy tone. She was fine, unlike Ethan, who wasn’t in his usual characteristic self. (Y/n) didn’t really acknowledge it, she was being as productive as possible to get ready for the live stream. (Y/n) was editing a video for Ethan and Mark, giving the team a little bit of a break. Then she moved to more of the set up area making sure everything was hooked up in the right spot. She was slightly confused seeing the wires wrapped up in knots and not plugged in all the way. This is Ethan’s job! He’d never been this careless when it comes to set ups. She sighed thanking herself for being paranoid and did double checks. Amy and Tyler walked in with some food just as Mark was about to let Chica out. Mark had silently been observing the blue boys actions. As he past Amy he gave her a quick kiss before warning about how Ethan was being. “Hey, Ethan is being very…strange today, just thought you should know”, all Amy did was furrow her eyebrows and lightly nod her head before making her way over towards Kathryn. “So do you know what’s wrong with Ethan?” Amy whispered to Kathryn as she slid into the seat next to her. Kathryn shook her head before hanging up the phone. “Guys, Homes For Our Troops, approved our request for the live stream” she called for everyone’s attention so they could start doing more live stream giveaways, and planning on what to do. Ethan once again, didn’t really know what to say or do, he really wasn’t Ethan. Of course he threw out idea’s but the were more repeated requests, that had already been done or he’d just play on his phone. "Hey (Y/n) can we talk to you for a second?” Amy motioned her over. So when she finished adjusting somethings she came over. “Hey whats up?” Ethans girlfriend smiled. Amy and Kathryn exchanged glances, Kathryn spoke up, “What’s wrong with Ethan?”. His girlfriends smile slowly melted away at the question. “What? He was fine this morning” her eyes averted their attention to Ethan who was half listening to the conversation about the live stream. She shook her head before looking back to her friends. “Why are you asking me this?”. Kathryn huffed out a sigh “He just isn’t Ethan today he walked in hyper and bouncing off the walls, then he got really spaced out, his emotions are everywhere” “We’re worried” Amy added. (Y/n) shook her head “He was completely normal when he left this morning”. “I’ll see what’s wrong though and get back to you on that. Thanks for letting me know”. The girls nodded their heads with sad smirks, letting (Y/n) attended to her boyfriend. “Hey baby whats up?” she cooed sitting next to her boyfriend. He jumped not expecting her to plop down next to him. “What?” he said shocked. (Y/n) furrowed her eyebrows “Is everything okay? Kathryn and Amy said you haven’t been yourself and I just wanted to know if you were having an off day or not feeling well”. “D-don’t worry about it. Oh its, its nothing to worry about” he stuttered his face turning pink. “Eth, what’s going on? You know you can tell me” her hand gently rested on top of his. “Don’t worry about it” his voice all of a sudden stern causing the room to fall silent. Ethan has talked in a serious tone, but rarely has he ever, and as far as the team knew Ethan never talked to his girlfriend like that before. Not saying thr couple didn’t have tiffs and arguments, it was just no one was expecting it, especially (Y/n). She licked her lips, “Okay, love you” and with that she walked downstairs to let Chica back in, Tyler quickly following her. “Hey whats wrong?” Tyler asked when he reached the bottom of the stairs. (Y/n) turned around and shrugged her shoulders. She wasn’t angry or anything, she was worried, and when she heard his tone of voice, she knew something was up. “Don’t worry, its probably just an off day” Tyler said being logical. “Do you have any idea what this could be? I mean he was perfectly fine this morning when he left or was I not paying enough attention?” she started questioning everything as she let her friends dog in.

“(Y/n), you trust Ethan right? If he says not to worry about it then you shouldn’t. He’ll tell you eventually. Doesn’t he always?” Tyler explains. He did have a point, Ethan wouldn’t hide anything from her and he always told (Y/n) whats going on. So it might be an off day and the two would most likely talk about it tonight at home. She nodded her head and gave Tyler a hug. “Thanks”. “Anytime”. When the two climbed up the stairs. The live stream had already started. “Thanks for the heads up?” (Y/n) joked as her and Tyler disbursed to other ends of the room. But instead of going to sit in the open spot next to Ethan she sat down on the floor so she could be with Chica. Ethan shrugged it off, he had something on his mind. Something that he would say sooner than later. He knew it would be blurting out by the end of night. “Well we have a few people still trickling in but our goal for tonight is for a charity called Homes For Our Troops, and our goal 45k for the men and women who served for our country…” Mark explained as the couple slowly zoned out of the explanation of what the livestream would be about. They questioned about the long day ahead of them and the intresting conversation that would be given back at the apartment. (Y/n) jumped when Chica’s tail swooped into her face. The team laughed, except for Ethan. Who himself jumped back into reality and saw (Y/n) rubbing her eye. He snaked his way off the couch to sit next to (Y/n). “Are you okay love?” Ethan asked. You werent expecting the nickname “love” to come out of his mouth. It was so bizarre and un-Ethan. “Y-Yeah, I’m fine” (Y/n) said as she turned towards Kathryn asking if there was anyway we all could play Mario Kart. No one denied the idea. Ethan was the only one who didnt answer. Was she still upset with him? Nothing was said between the two, and fans started to notice. Especially when they started pulling up fan art. “Why isn’t Ethan and (Y/n) talking?” “Is the little blue boy sick?” “We love you (Y/n)” Ethan took notice quicker than his girlfriend and forced the blue boy everyone knew and loved out. “Just a little spacey guys nothing to worry about”. “We didn’t get much sleep last night” Which was true Ethan and (Y/n) had been coming up with theories for the video game Little Nightmares and talking about gow excited they were to play the new one when it comes out. But the chats mind went south and straight into the gutter. Mark turned to look at the chat and squinted “What did tha– Ethan!”. Catching his attention he snapped his head to the chat along with (Y/n). “Oh, ew! Guys no, no, no! We didn’t–” the couples faces were burned from the embarrassment. (Y/n) buried her face into the side of Ethan’s neck as too avoided the camera. “Well they seem normal now” Amy whispered to Tyler who just nodded. The stream had been going on for a few hours now, and everyone was being their usual self–everyone was laughing and sharing funny, cringy stories and playing games. The team was a quarter of the way to the halfway point. Amy and Kathryn knew this was the “dead point”. Which means this is where the donations go limp for at least an hour or two. When he heard Tyler asking a few times about donating he knew what was going on and so the blue boy spoke up. “Hey guys so I’ve got a secret and I’ll share it with you when we get the halfway point”. This excited the livestream and donations started up again. But left the team confused so out of curiosity Mark donated 100. Everyone knew Mark wouldn’t stop a live stream until they got at least half of their goal so Ethan’s bribery worked somewhat. “So if this stream ends up crashing, we don’t get a secret?” Kathryn joked. “Don’t joke about that!” Ethan whined a bit, causing everyone to chuckle. Making Ethan flush pink and quietly leave the room for a moment before coming back up with water. (Y/n) walked over towards the girls and decided to look at the fan art and scroll through twitter and just help get ready for the giveaways. “Hey Eth?” Tyler said causing Ethan and Mark to turn and look at him. “We’re halfway”. Amy had over heard that and repeated to the other girls that they were at the halfway point, actually a little over it. The blue boys face went white as if he was not ready to say anything. (Y/n) walked over and sat on the arm of the chair her boyfriend was sitting on. “Ethan…” She said with caution. He looked up at her, causing everyone to have worried looks. Ethan wanted to talk, he really did but his mouth wouldn’t open. He knew there was no going back now, he was scared at what could happen next when he blurted out his secret. So he looked down at his hands and sighed before standing up and looking directly in her eyes. “I love you,” Ethan blurted out and causing the room to remain silent, he wasn’t done - it was obvious by the way he ended his first sentence. “Before we were friends, I thought you were cute and I wanted to get to know you. When we were friends I loved you then and I knew I wanted to be with you and when we started dating I was so happy that someone like you would ever want to date me and now as the years go by I forget a little more at what my life was like without you. I don’t know what I would do if one day I woke up to not having you by my side. You’ve made my dreams come true these past few years and I wouldn’t trade them in for anything…” he stated. (Y/n) nodded her head lightly with a barely visible smirk on her face. “Now would you please do me the favor of making one last dream come true? Would you please marry me?” She started to feel her eyes getting glossy and she knew if she were to say anything her voice would be shakey. So she nodded happily and flung herself into his figure, her arms locked around his neck. Her body started to shake from the tears she had held inside. Ethan gripped ahold of her tightly as if he let her go she would vanish into thin air. When she let go she finally found the right words to say. “You’re a dream come true blue boy” and ruffed his hair. Before leaning in for a quick lovingly kiss.

Tracer (Lena Oxton) x Female reader

Author’s note: okay so…this is my first story and english isn’t my native language so there might be a lot of typos plus I wrote this in the middle of the night so yeah, enjoy! —————————————-

It was christmas. And the whole team thought they would celebrate it together this year. Genji and Hanzo had a few fights. Mercy and Phara got along very well (even tho Phara’s mother watched). Reinhardt read classic christmas tales and D.Va was playing on her Xbox 1.

And you, right now, were hiding behind a wall with a present in your hand. On the other side of the wall was Lena. You didn’t know what she was doing, but you planned to give the gift to her and confess her. In the present was a beautiful frame wich had a picture of you and Lena and above the frame said “I love you!”. ‘Alright, I can do this! I won’t run away this time!’ you thought. You came out from hiding and went to Lena. “Hey Le-” you saw Lena was having a video phone call. You quickly hid again. You were about to leave her but the phone call seems intresting so you stayed. You looked at her hologram screen to see a girl with orange hair and freckles on her cheeks. “So you’re spending christmas with your team this year?” the girl asked. “Yeah, sorry love, but I promise next year I’ll spend christmas with you, it’s a promise!” she sounded disapointed at first, but when she talked about spending christmas with the ginger girl, she turned happy. You were a bit jealous but continued listening. “It’s okay, because no matter what I will always love you” the girl smiled. Your eyes widened. Lena smiled. “I love you too Emily, Merry Christmas” she answered. Your eyes was now filled with tears and a few of them dropped on Lena’s christmas gift. “I’ll have to go now, see ya love!” The brittish girl said and hung up the call. As she did, she heard something fall. She looked at your direction. You accidently dropped her gift to the floor because of your shaky hands. Now you were too scared to face her with your sad face that you ran away.

You ran and ran as far as you could. So far away from Lena. You stopped at a cliff. It was cold outside but you didn’t care about it. Tears were now streaming down your cheeks as you sat on the frozen ground. The only thing you thought was Lena. And it hurts you because you knew she wouldn’t love you back because she alredy had someone in her heart. You couldn’t stop crying and it felt like hours. Soon you heard your team was calling for you, searching you. You quickly wiped your tears away and went back, feeling heartbroken for the rest of the night.

Lena heard someone’s footsteps running away. As she looked who was behind the wall, the only thing she saw was a present on the floor. “What’s this?” she asked herself and picked the present. She found a mini note that said “To Lena Oxton”. “Someone must have dropped the gift here while running towards the christmas tree, I wonder what’s inside.” She slowly shaked the box and didn’t here anything. Now she was really curious. She looked around to see if anyone was there. Results: no one. She then slowly and quietly opens the box to see a frame with a picture of her and you in the frame. And the text above the picture says “I love you!” Her eyes widen slightly, surprised over there was another girl who likes her, no, LOVES her. To be honest, ever since you joined the team, Lena had felt a small spark and soon grew feelings for you. But she was scared to admit it since she alredy had Emily. Thanks to the gift, she realized that she’s more in love with you than Emily. “I need to tell her right away!” she said and ran to the living room.

When she arrived to the room, everyone was there, including you, but you had red puffy eyes and was covered in blankets. Lena walked over to you and asked “are you alright love?” You looked at her and gave her a sad smile. You responded with a weak voice “yeah….I’m fine, just….allergies….” and then looked down, not wanting to make eye contact.

Soon came the christmas activities and everyone had fun and such. “Now for the final activity” Winston said. In came Lucio with a mistletoe in his hand. “It’s mistletoe time!” He says with excitment. He ran around to the two nearest people and those two would end up kissing. It either ended up a guy with a girl, a girl with a girl or a guy with a guy.

Soon enough Lucio ran towards you and Lena who was sitting with each other. “Oh, I-I don’t think I shou-” you said but was cut off by an unexpected kiss by Lena. It was a long passionate kiss. Her lips was soft and had a nice scent of tea. Then she stopped and looked at you. You just sat there, staring at her with a red face. But soon you started to tear up. The brittish girl was now panicking, thinking she did something wrong. “L-love?! Are you alright?!” You just looked down as you started to cry. “W-why….you…you alredy have Emily…” Lena was shocked over that you knew about Emily, but didn’t care about that. Lena carefully took your hands. You were slightly surprised and looked up at her. “It’s because I love you more, love” she answered in a gentle voice. “I didn’t realize it until I saw this.” She showed you the gift you were going to give her. “That’s…” you were about to say the gift was from you but you thought she alredy figured it out. “This made me think of all memorise we have had together. The fun times, the sad times and etc. It made me realize that I’m more in love with you then Emily. (Y/N) I love you.” Your face was now red like a tomato, but smiled at her. “I love you too, Lena.” You said as you leaned close to her and kissed her. She kissed you back and everyone in the room was now cheering for you two.

It sure was the best christmas you have ever had.

Who is Nick Weaver coming all the way from Seattle over L.A. to Germany wearing an Eintracht Frankfurt Jersey in his Tour promo video? He is an artist, he is a performer, he is a producer and a guy like you and me. Check out our interview for information about his HipHop approach, his self-perception and the tour dates in Bad Nauheim on the 10th and 11th of November 2017. In 2016, 330724 Spotify listeners streamed 9.8 years of his music. The first release that I found online was „Forever Automatic„ in 2012, followed by his debut „Day One, None“ in 2013, by “Yardwork”��2015, „Prowler“ in 2016 and „Photographs Of Other People“ 2017. Besides that you can find side projects and freestyles on his Youtube account. You’ll find the tour date infos at the end of the article. NICK WEAVER Website – Facebook – Twitter – Instagram – Spotify – Soundcloud – Youtube – auf RUN FFM When asked about the style of his music he says it has a Kendrick Lamar, James Blake and Jamie XX touch and is for any fans of Hip-Hop, R&B and even Electronic Music. The list of artists he likes and is inspired by is long and diverse: From Depeche Mode, Mozart, N.W.A., The National, LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip, Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, Mobb Deep, to Eminem.* Let’s jump in with the interview. Can you tell me something about your family- and your educational-background? I grew up outside of the city of Seattle in the United States. I have two older brothers, a mother, and a father – they all live in Seattle area. My father was a scientist for the United States Geological Survey and my mother was a writer/technical editor. I studied marketing at a college in Seattle, which lead me to a business career before I got super serious about music when I moved to L.A. It seems like you had a productivity boost since 2016 judging from you youtube output. What happened? I became much more self-sustained as an artist. I taught myself how to produce instrumentals, so I could pretty much do it all. That process was (and still is) so inspiring and motivating to me. It re-ignited my creativity; the desire to try new stuff. What do you think people feel when they listen to your music? I hope they hear someone who puts a lot of themselves out there. Music is such an incredible thing to be able to do, so you really gotta go all in. I hope people hear someone who really loves the process of making music, and someone who is constantly working at creating their own style of sound. You seem to be a dedicated person thinking about you inspirational and motivational talks on Youtube. Why did you decide to share those thoughts with your audience? I love talking about the process of being creative. I love sitting down with fellow artists, business owners, even friends who have big dreams in other fields. It’s motivating, and it keeps me driven. I created the #WorkFlow series as a way to let people see that side, and to show them that “Nick Weaver” the artist is also very human. In Yardwork BTS: Ep 4 – The Show you say the following: “Everyday shit that I know a lot of people relate to. It’s just real life shit. Keeping that theme, maturation, coming of age, figuring out what is important in life and sort of casting away the rest of the bullshit.” Would you say that you are a normal guy? I would like to think so, yes. Everybody has their own quirks and eccentric parts to them, I have no shortage of my own. I like that about people though. It’s not hard to figure out that you are a sports fan. On your IG are a lot of pictures showing you in jerseys of many different teams. Are you also practicing sports? I used to play a lot of sports – soccer (properly called football in your country), and basketball. I am short, so I always play sports with a big chip on my shoulder! There is one thing that we are especially interested in: Where did you got this awesome Eintracht Frankfurt jersey from? Good choice! Haha, I knew RUNFFM would like that! So in the States you can actually order the Bundesliga kits without sponsor logos on them. Eintracht Frankfurt is my team for life! When I toured Germany in 2016 I promised myself that if I got to see a Bundesliga team play at home, that team was going to be my squad – and it just so happened to be Eintracht that I got to see. The fans were so amazing, it was like a spiritual sporting experience for me. Frankfurt has been my team ever since. I even got to see them do a friendly match in my hometown against the Seattle Sounders. How did some of your videos end up at the german entertainment and gamer channel RELOADIAK? Christian (RELOADIAK) is a homie. He has been such a great support to me. He initially found my music when it was featured in a Super Street Magazine car video a few years back. He really liked it and contacted me about asking to use it. He had so many amazing fans there that really liked my music, so we built a relationship where he was cool with posting some of my content on his channel. Which kind of relationship do you have with Germany? What made you tour here and not in another European country? The fans I have in Germany are so supportive. They show me so much love on Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, FB, everywhere. I love them for that. They created the opportunity for me to go somewhere else in the world and play music. I can’t even describe how grateful I am for the fans! The tour had to be in Germany! It seems like you’re doing more than just rapping. You contacted me, I saw storyboards on your IG, you are playing instruments and you are producing? Is it a necessary evil or do you need to be in control of all the work? I think independent artists should be in control of as much as they think they can still be happy with. I certainly think there are things like videos and photography that you need to leave to the pros. But there are so many tools these days to help you create your content. It’s all one YouTube tutorial away. Even if your doing a lot on your own you probably have a team or people that you trust and work with. Who are these people and how do they help you? My manager Austin Hurwitz is a lifesaver, extremely professional, and an incredibly hard worker. He keeps me honest about my process too. My good friend Ryan Skut shoots a ton of my stuff. He shot all the artwork for the Photographs Of Other People project. I still have a core group of my best childhood friends and my family who come to all of my shows in my hometown in the states, that support after all these years means so much. Do you still have your full time job and what is it about? I have been lucky enough to do music mostly full time at this point in my career. Every once in a while I do contract work on the side for corporate event planning. The first video on your Youtube channel supports a foundation called “Growing Veterans”, you released an EP dedicated to the movie “The Rock” and you can be seen shooting a rifle on your IG. What do you think about the army and weapons in general? You really did your homework on me! Growing Veterans is a great organization in the States started by my childhood friend Christopher –  a US Marine veteran who wanted to help other military veterans back home. The USA still does not give our military veterans the resources they need after service. They struggle with mental health, finding work, and many other problems when they come home. Chris created Growing Veterans to find work for former military folks in agricultural and farming industries. Our military has endured a lot on behalf of our country’s decisions, it’s important for me to support groups like Growing Veterans. Despite that IG photo, I am very anti-guns. Somehow, someway, the United States is going to have to figure out how to decrease gun violence. Literally as I write this answer, I am seeing a news update about another public shooting in a church. Gun violence is the saddest most senseless shit, and the United States needs real leadership to change this issue.

And I’m not talking about that little “Super Nintendo Classic” that comes pre-loaded with 20 games. I went and bought the OG system on eBay. I still miss my Honda Civic, which is immortalized in my Prowler, Yardwork, and Day, One None albums. I owned that car for 10 years, a whole decade! I am going to get a tattoo of it. I just recently watched the entire Friday Night Lights TV series for the first time. It’s the closest thing to a soap opera that I vibe with. Thank you for your time and the intresting insights!

The Loud House Reviews: Ghosted!

Halloween Havoc returns! Lori is haunted by a ghost and brings in LIncoln and Clyde ot fix things.. only to find out he’s actually the beloved school mascot and must enlist Lucy and her crew of goths to help her. The bar from the overlook hotel, 1900′s disco, and Boris, the best loud house character i’d never heard of all insue. All hail boris, and prepare for full review with spoilers. under the cut. 

We’re back! I’m sorry this is a week late. This is both due to having a LOT going on.. as well as my own fault for pushign this review back to do a review of the first episode of Starkid’s “Nightmare Time”.. only to have to push BOTH back after I was unable to finish this weeks’ Ducktales on Monday because I ended up having to get off it so my mom, who works from home, can use it, and because AT&T is an utter nightmare we’re thankfully leaving, so if nothing else that will hopefully never be an issue again. 

TLDR: I kept putting this one off, didn’t realize this week’s episode was in fact on this week, and now I have to get 5 reviews done in the span of three days: I have this episode, this week’s loud house, the amphibia halloween special, and reviews of Ducktales “The Duck Knight Returns” and the first darkwing duck episode “Darkly Dawns the Duck”. 

I kid, this blog will end as I too hope to end.. taking rusty and Zach with me. But i got myself into this mess and i’m getting myself out of it. I will get these done even if it kills me.. my ghost can then take care of the two fictional children. ON with the review!

We open at Fairway University. 

I had to. Lori is practicing for the big tournament coming up.. which normally would have me super excited as tournaments are my shit... but we’re not talking two people beating the shit out of each other, wether it be for the sport of it, because their master told them to, because one of htem is a demon who will end the world, or because their loved ones will be murdered if they don’t beat people up as a team for demons, nor people playing card games for their grandpa’s soul, or a grudge caused by an abusive childhood that leads to a battle over gods inside trading cards, or because the school decided why not, or because you need to both keep your godlike dragon that’s also in a card and your friends safe, or.. you get the idea. I love Anime tournaments in what anime I have watched. Me watching or reading of those is like coke to me... a golf tournament however?

Yeah i’m not big into non-wrestling sports in general, let alone one where hte main action is a ball went really far. I mean it IS impressive a golfer can do that and accuratley no less, that’s some Hawkeye level stuff, it’s just not for me. I do HIGHLY enjoy mini golf, and mini golf episodes as both simpsons and gravity falls episodes on that are a good time. I mean any episode that gets flanders to say this is worth at least one watch. 

And thanks to fond memories of my grandpa using them to get around his carnival, yes my grandpa owned a carnival and yes it was great and yes he was a great man and I miss him every day, and carting me around in them. If it were street legal i’d have one. And finally I LOVE happy gilmore. While Adam Sandler took a turn, and hopefully Hubie Halloween is a sign that long national nightmare is over, that film still holds up and is still REALLY damn funny. And by this point your probably wondering what the hell my point is.  Well the hell my point is is that in light of me liking golf related things for weird reason despite praying for death but death won’t come at the thought of watching actual golf, I love fairway university. I love the fact that a golf based college is credible, I love the fact it goes so far in it’s theme that the text books are all golf related, the dorms are all weirdly golf themed, and students apparently can get an arnold palmer at any time of night. I also assume the dorms have on demand streaming for happy gilmore and caddyshack, and a genisis with a copy of lee carvillo’s putting challenge.  Back on the actual episode at long last, Lori is putting in some driving practice and facetiming bobby. The reason the tournament is so important is that she needs to beat the evil elf Malketh at golf or else Suryr will end all life... I may of been reading walt simsons’s thor lately but admit it you would watch that. No it’s more mundane than a fire giant trying to commit universal genocide: Being the only freshman on the team, as in that good, if she dosen’t do well, she might loose her scholarship. Granted I DOUBT they’d take it away after one game, but it’s understandable why she fears loosing it: She can’t afford college any other way. Her parents finances are spread among 11 kids who all live comofrtably and while every loud would gladly give things up so she could go to college still.. Lori wouldn’t accept it. She’d be grateful.. but she wouldn’t have her family be miserable for her sake, even if it’s her dream. This is her one shot for the career she wants and loosing this would destroy her. Even if she’d still have Bobby.  But Bobby is pulled away because his customers are annoyed.. and by customers I mean just Vito.. the rest seem fine despite the line, who complalins his spumoni is melting... because apparently he can’t just have bobby get him a fresh one as Bobby would be happy to do because he’s made of pure joy and it was nice seeing him. Though I do hope to see him in college himself next season. It is WEIRD having the casagrandes season 1 paired with a season of the loud house taking place months later.. and having the halloween episode for season 2 show up months ahead of season 2 itself. 

But soon Lori has bigger problems than Bobby having to go or crushing loss... after consulting the school gopher, because the dean apparently really loves caddyshack as ANY dean of a golfiing school should. I forgot to mention it above but I freaking love that movie too. Good stuff. Back on point, Lori soon gets stalked by a g-g-g-host! And nope this ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no fooling around.. nor is it a scooby doo esque scheme. This is an actual ghost. Represented by a ball of light but .. yup they went there. And look I get the show breaks from reality a lot: Luann acts like the silver age joker once a year and gets away with it, Lisa gets up to dexter’s lab esque shenanigans on an episodic basis, and Girl Jordan isn’t part of the group despite clearly sharing their intrests and being intrested in both lincoln and stella.  There are stretches in reality.. but mostly for humor or because it’d make a good plot. Most of the plots are grounded in reality: From Luna’s entire romance arc, with her insecurities and her and sam’s worries about each other, to Luaan’s nervousness about her first kiss, to Lincoln and friends having to learn that sometimes a girl dosen’t want to date you just because their nice to you, to Lynn learning not to be a dick and hten forgetting it overnight because this show hates me, the show grounds wacky shenanigans in relatable slice of life stuff. It’s what makes it and it’s sister show work so well. Grounding the exagerated comedy with likeable relatable characters. IT’s what works.  Why I bring this up is this and family bonding show a possible trend of the show getting into more bizzare stuff. A ghost here, a secret agent there.. it means the loud world can get as insane as it wants and the reason I bring it up is simple: Is that a GOOD thing. And my opinon, it CAN be if used right. With Family Bonding the fact there are Secret Agents is just.. casually mentioned. Like yup james bond esque spies exist and have weather dominators and an 11 year old just stopped them. It’s just.. treated like a normal thing when it’s not. Here.. a ghost showing up.. is treated like someone suddenly finding out ghosts are fucking real. Lori slowly comes unraveled a bit as the first few minutes go: She deals with seeing a ghost glow on the range, having the ghost drop books on her in the library, and having it serve her an arnold palmer.. in what genuinely looks like the bar from the overlook hotel from the shining. 

I get it’s a deliberate shout out, especially since it’s bartender is a ghost. But it just raises so many questions: Was it a concidence or did whoever put this bar in really love the shining? Did he want teenagers to murder their wives and children? Did he? Is this building haunted and not just by the genearl ghost that haunts everything? Did they take this from the overlook since it didn’t burn down in the movie? Does this mean shining and loud house are the same universe and by the same token so is community and the casagrandes? WHy is a tea with lemonade called an arnold palmer? But yeah after breaking down in her room Lori can’t take being stalked by a ghost and does what 80% of people in a paranomal activity film take too long to do and calls a ghost hunter. Specifically clyde! And to my shock this is apparently the first time the two have interacted since season 2! And it shows.. their on perfectly fine terms, to the point she has his number and they can talk like humans. I like it.. it’s subtle. Again wouldv’e appricated the episode where he got over here being more finte, but still, this is better than him either passing out in his own master roshi esque blood or trying to get her to leave bobby because bobby is a saint. The worst he’s done is break up with someone because her brother made his sister cry, when none of that makes any sense but he’s dumn and noble enough i’ll allow it, and telling sergio never to come back, which his show framed as a bad thing but really I would two after two minutes with him. 

She called Clyde because he’s the brains behind the outfit... but Clyde has her on speaker. Wah wah wah. Their watching ARRRGH! The ghost adventuers style show that showed up in an episode I never saw but read about. Wah wah wah indeed, but it was apparenlty made up. Why their still into it I dunno, but apparently argh ghost blasters ARE ACTUAL LASER GUNS. This show has gone enitrely off the rails and i’m fine with that. As long as it’s funny. But seriously who gives out actual proton packs I ask you your just asking for some kid to blast himself in the face. But yeah Clincoln McCloud is on the case. And while i’m still annoyed they didn’t bring at least two more friends to play ghostbusters, presumibly stella because she’s the compitent one and Zach because he could NOT belivie in something for a change and tha’td be funny. I know i’m beating a dead horse but it dosen’t HAVE to be all or nothing with their friend groups. You do know that right writers?

I mean I get only using them here as opposed to family bonding, but still, if you can use LIam outside of his episodes you can use the rest of them.. and I don’t even like Zach but he’d be in his element here. It’s not complicated but it is frustrating.  Anyways the boys and Lynn Sr arrive with Lynn Sr making a scene.. which embarasses Lori but i’m on his side here. His oldest went to college. She left the nest. It’s a lot. Plus she apparently hasn’t visted home yet so he misses his baby. Just accept it. She also asked the boys to be subtle about their ghost hunting which does not work at all. Lori you knew who you were asking for this. It’s like asking Sterling Archer NOT to be sarcastic, loud and slightly hammered. It’s part of the process.  Natrually hyjinks insue as our heroes chase the ghost with the most... on this campus.. and end up shaming him into leaving. Yes really. Clyde even says that’s what usually works on him. Oh Clyde.. if that were true you would’ve stopped trying to break up two people clearly in love with each other for your own benift, you twit.  So problem solved right, ghost busted, no more stalking and no lori turning into a monster and ushering in 80 sequels with no real resolution right? 

Yeah I mean this is a half hour special. Everyone at Fairway starts playing off, and it turns out because they realized the ghost was missing. Yes.. everyone knew the ghost was real. Thankfully given this is a halloween episode fairway isn’t some kind of rosemary’s baby, midsommar, herditary, paranomal activity , god a lot of movies use this death cult scenario. That we’re aware of Lori may just not be the target. The team captain takes Lori aside to explain things: They normally don’t tell freshman this until after their first game because the plot says so, but Fairway has a ghost. And again what makes this work is the guy does realize people might not belivie this and while normal for the students of fairway, it’s not normal for everyone and they might not belivie in it.  But no turns out the ghost is beloved 1900′s era Caddy, Shanks Bogey, who in the moment that cemented him as a legend singelhandidly helped Fairway to a big comeback in their first tournament ever, and was given a permanent positoin after graduation. Because they train caddy’s here too which makes sense. And now his ghost lives there too and still helps to this day. OR did anyway. Now why he coudln’t of told her this or why they don’t check to make sure one of the students dosen’t bring ghost hunters around or an exorcist or ash williams?

This episode already runs on nonsense i’m just going with it. Point is LOri’s hair’s falling out, more apparenlty, from the stress as she retreats into her hoodie.. Clyde gave her one to protect her because ARRRRGH! is really freaking shameless apparently. While LIncoln dosen’t know how to put a ghost back luckily Lucy has the mortuariy club over and LIncoln sends them over. Also Lori dosen’t want dad driving them, but Lincoln was on speaker which.. yeah Clyde I might get, the only person he’d probably want privacy with is his girlfriend, he and Lincoln have the exact same running crew but lincoln has 10 other people int he house who may eevesdrop.  But hell yeah, it’s my first Lucy episode on the blog and my first with her club period. For Lucy she IS one of the sisters I like I just haven’t checked out her episodes since season 2,a nd that’s my fault and something I intend to correct. She’s adorably, hilarious in her creepiness, and endearing in how she feels ignored at itmes.. because she is. They also ALL can apparently do her suddenly sneak up on people batman schtick as they all pop up on lincoln when he mentions a ghost. But yeah I love she has her own adams family esque group of goths, and that one of them is a Haiku from an earlier episode. While he and clyde hitting it off went nowhere it IS nice for the show to actually bring back an earlier character they entirely forgot about. It’s very rare for them. 

But yeah I already like these guys, arriving in coffisn and accidently sending my new faviorite borris flying.. a boy who talks like dracula, looks like an orlock and talks in the third person, though he ends up completing a cheer pyramid, because as an intentional joke or not, fairway , a school for a sport built on quite conversation... has a cheers squad. But hey we get boris talking about his hollow bones and cheering out of it so we’re good. 

But now the goth gang can get down to business. They try the obvious first a séance which.. yeah if bill and ted and beetlejuice have taught me anything, Seance’s can only end in friendly ghost murder. Granted unlike Otho I think Lucy knows what she’s doing, I just don’t want Shanks to die. This dosen’t quite work as while there is some bubbles it’s just Froggy 2 who apparently goes here when he’s not with adelaide. Good for him, getting some higher book learning. That’s rare for frogs. Though the faces on the Club are priceless as they are adorable. 

Plan B is to set out Shank’s faviorite food, Ferminted Bean Meal.. which yes is both to set up a fart joke and may or may not exist. He also liked pigs in a blanket, which is a good gag. Lori asks why theyd idn’t go with that I say they simply did because these are professional Goths, and they will always go for the weirdest option possible. It’s who you signed on for lori. You could’ve just called the fentons at the start of this but no, no crossover for us. And yes it’d be butch heartman free but as far as I’m concerned he can go fuck himself for, most among a LARGE pile of him being a jackass, promoting faith healing seminars that among serious illnesses.. include autisim, aka equating what I have to things like alhimers and cancer. No joke there just screw him, don’t screw danny phantom it’s great, moving on.  They intend for shanks to eat it but Lori’s teamates do instead as does the one club member who has weird hair that really unernves me. I get it’s supposed to be spider like but still, the rest of the club is really well designed, including him minus the hair. Why this why. They all get stomach poisoning and blame Lori for it despite, you know, eating strange food left in the middle of campus which is never a good idea, as it’s either someone’s elses or possibly spiked. What did you think was going to happen? Lucy’s last ditch effort is partying like it’s 1900. We do get the club and lori in top hats and canes with presumibly pocket’s full of miracles. So that’s neat. But it fails thanks to the cheerleaders coming in, boris very much included. Lori is desparing,.. until it turns out the disco ball which broke offers a mirror to the other side.. and thus where shanks is.. at the graveyard just off campus. Haiku finds this school creepy and wants to go there. Me too little sister, me too. 

Lori opts to go alone.. while this shit terrifies her, understandably, it was her mess and she needs to clean it up.. even though him not explaning himself to her or anyone else did this I don’t know if he can talk so fair enough. He can however caddy obviously as Lori gives him a heartfelt apology, and then plays a round, with him helping.. though apparently returning her ball also opens a doorway to hell. Go figure. Great gag though especially lori’s casual “that was disturbing”. He dosen’t give a sign he’s coming back though. Then we cut to the game.. with no real sign lori told anyone anything.. was.. was a chunk cut out of this episode or did they just run out of time? I dunno it’s jarring but the game is down to her, and Lori ends up in a sandtrap with the sun in her eyes. But luckily shanks returns! He llfts an umbrella for her. Again I think it’s less that he’s inconsiderate and more that he’s mute.. or maybe he’s just a jackass I dunno. We don’t know enough about him. Point is Lori wins, her scholarship is secure and her family is cheering her on.. well okay her family in terms of lincoln, clyde, because he counts dammit, and her parents the rest of the girls minus lucy are absent because they needed room for her club. Whose in the sun somehow. Lori wins, Boris does an exorcist head spin, and Lucy feels he’s lost to them. I mean.. he has to go home.. unless he dosen’t have one... which is probable. Man now I want a fairway spinoff even more.. I mean just give lori and bobby an off campus place, have leni and her two friends move in, maybe throw in carol and have boris living in a hole in the backyard and we’re good. Please nick, greenlight this. I will write it for you just give me the go ahead. 

Final Thoughts:

This one was okay. As I said the reality breaks are fine if their used for good reaosn, but I felt the episode put Lori though a bit much. She hasn’t been unsympathetic in so long, and she has a genuine heartwrenching reason to want to do well and is terrified of shanks. It’s not her fault no one told her. I mean that should be in the brochure “We have a ghost but he’s a casper ghost and not a gozer ghost so your good”. I mean the fact Jack Fenton HASN’T come blaring down the campus is only because he already did that and is banned from campus. that and he drove through the comisary.. like through both walls. The Fenton Van is thick.  Point is lori goes through a lot of pain and humilation for no reason. It also feels like a two parter put into one half hour: The first half has a problem that’s seemingly solved only to have a cliffhanger with Lucy coming in as the solution. That being said I aboslutely love the mortuariy club. Why they can’t repalce spider head with rocky I don’t know, but otherwise I love em. Especailly boris who i’m fine with him staying at fairway as long as I get that spinoff> The Clyde and LIncoln antics are just “ha ha their mech dosen’t work”.. when they still have rayguns as part of the merch, though I do appricate that them running out of power is set up: Their guns discharge as a running gag so it’s no suprise their out by the time our heroes need them. And Clyde’s line about shame and guilt “Just like me!” was gold. This dosen’t really have the missed opprtunity smell of family bonding or strife of the party, it did fine enough and the scene of lori and shanks playing golf was really sweet.  It really is just okay: Not AMAZING, but not terrible. I’ve seen much worse already this season, but the creative halloweeny premise, fun with the goth gang, and general weirdness of fairway make it a hole in two. Not a slam dunk but still fun. Just because an episode is mostly okay dosen’t make it bad.  If you liked this review follow for more, as I have weekly coverage of ducktales and loud house and ocasionally the casagrandes and later today should have, space and time permitting, reviews of the new loud house, the new amphibia, and later this weekend some darkwing duck. Until then stay safe, stay spooky and happy halloween. Play us out white stripes!

The Jeffersons: Sorry, Wrong Meeting (Comission by WeirdKev27) (Black History Month)

Welcome on up! HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!  Yup i’m going to spend a good chunk of the month celebrating the best and brightest in black characters in animation, amid valentine’s coverage in the first half and a few bits of the usual stuff throughout. But i’m still throughly dedicated to showing off some of the finest media about black struggles and starring black characters, and going through it the best I can as a white dumbass. If I slip up or misinterpret something, never be afraid to call me on it, but I feel I can still try my best to honor these amazing characters who’ve brought such joy to my life and these wonderful stories.  So starting us off is a commission from Kev that’s been sitting in the queue for far too long. And it’s not due to lack of intrest: While before today I’d never seen an episode of the Jeffersons, I had seen the live performance of an episode done for that live with norman lear thing nbc did in 2019, and it was excellent and piqued my intrest. But with me never thinking to get the dvd’s, and not having Starz nor really wanting starz, there was no real easy way to stream it. But a few episodes were on DailyMotion, so I was fine with reviewing it for Kev and giving this series an honest try and the fact the episode dealt with white supremacy, at a time where we’d JUST gotten rid of a bigoted, white nationalist backing, piece of shit president, I was naturally all for it, I just never thought to clear space on my schedule and by the time I was scheduling things better, I purposfully saved it for this month as while the Klan isn’t as prominent, assholes like them sure are. And given the Captial Riots last month with sedionsits shitheads proudly waving the confederate flag around, I’d say this episode is even MORE relevant than ever. 

But before we can dive into why this one is so good, yeah i’m not going to hide it this is a really fantastic episode of television, we have to talk about the series itself. The Jeffersons was created by Norman Lear, a progressive and prolific television writer and producer who is a legend in the business for damn good reason. He created All in the Family, which shattered norms and standards for the time, and would go on to create Sanford and Son, Maude and Good Times, all to massive sucess. However this show came about because the Black Panthers showed up one day at his office to raise a valid point: While he did have black characters in his tv shows they were mostly poor and barely scraping by, with his two black lead sitcoms dealing with characters in object poverty. And while this was still a worthy subject to tackle.. they were absolutely right there should be a counterbalance to that, to show the obvious truth black people CAN be successful. Norman agreed and set to work. Norman already had the perfect lead for that: George Jefferson, an opinnated dry-cleaner with several sucessful stores. George was, and still is, a fascenating character with lairs: being cranky and curmodgenly as you’d expect with some fairly average sitcom quirks: He loves money, often overspends on flashy stuff to revel in his sucess, snarks at his maid and likes to scheme as a sitcom character can. He’s also in the early seasons a bigot himself, not really fond of white people or interacial marraige, which naturally makes living next to an interacial couple and their daughter marrying his son thorns in his side. But as far as I can tell from looking on wikipedia he does soften with time and grow as a person and by this episode he’s fine putting up with both his neighbor Tom, said guy married to a black woman and his goofy british neighbor, if snarky as hell because hey, that’s who he is. I bring this up for reasons related to the climax, trust me. 

So eventually the Jefferson's moved on up to that deluxe apartment in the sky, hell of a theme song, and got into their own adventures with the aforementioned supporting characters.. and so here we are. And after the cut we’ll take a look at just why this sitcom is awesome, why I desperately want to get some dvds for it at some point now or a starz trial, and how much the klan sucks. 

We open at the Jefferson’s Deluxe Apartment in the Sky. where his wife Wheezy and aforementioned maid Florence are preparing to take a CPR class.. which were that possible I certainly would after this episode, as I feel Florence is right in stating it’s a skill everyone should have. She also remarks that George had every employee at his drycleaners take it, even if it was because he got an insurance writeoff. But hey, doing something that can help your workers and customers in an emergency even if i’ts just to save money is sitll better than MOST businesses these days so props to him. There’s also naturally some banter and it’s really damn funny. As with my Darkwing Duck reviews,, I won’t be going into it bit by bit, but it’s good stuff and holds up REALLY well. To me that’s the mark of a good sitcom, one that can show it’s age.. but still make you laugh, think or cry all the same. So yeah in less than a scene the show had won me over.  So as the ladies depart for CPR class, George’s peace is soon interupted by Harry Bently, british person and wacky neighbor. Aka me if I were british and lived in the 70′s. He returns a tv guide, last weeks hence why he’s done with it, and ther’es some schtick and what not before Tom Willis runs in, upset because he’s been robbed. They took all his stuff, and while he’s thankfull his wife’s gone for the week so she didn’t have to be there for this, he’s obviously worried and suggests forming a building watch to prevent this, with Harry on board. George.. has no time for this nonsense, and after making a joke about Florence in curlers scaring them of, bredguringly agrees to attend if someone else starts it then slams the door on them once their out the door.  At CPR, our heroines volunteer enthusastically and meet the cpr dummy. resuscannie.. I don’t know how to spell that and frankly I don’t wanna because she is FUCKING terrifying. 

She looks like she’s going to come to life and strangle me. She looks like a hollowed out corpse doll a serial killer makes. She looks like something Charles lee ray would rnasfer into. She looks like Micheal Meyers grandmother. She looks like the corpse of Jason’s mom come back for revenge. She looks like sue sylvester transferred herself into an auton. Look I could go on, but the series does make jabs at the thing and most cpr dummies are objectively terrifying, so fair play to them. After some more gags, things.. take a turn. Part of what makes this episode so effective to me is this turn. It starts with, and even goes back to after this for a bit, some sitcom gags and cliches.. but it lulls you into thinking this will be an average episode... so when the instuctor asks two men to go next, an older man and his college age looking son refuse to participate.. and their reason is he refuses to touch anything tha’ts been touched by a ... well he uses a certain word and let’s just say you know what it is, I know what it it is and if I could’ve reached inside my computer and choked the life out of hte man, I fucking would’ve. 

Yeah turns out these two are KKK, with the older asshole leading the local chapter and their about as reasonable or likeable as you’d expect with Wheezy BARELY holding Florence back from giving them a well deserved thrashing, and only doing so because it’d both sink to their level and because they’d just use it as more fuel for their racist bullshit. And that’s WHY this works so well: It seems excactly like a normal episode.. until it suddenly isn’t. Until suddenly things are a lot darker, a lot more tense, but the easing into it means it still feels like the same unvierse. To me the good “very special episodes”, are the ones that use this: that ease into the heavy topic before punching you in the face with it and tackle it with nuance and skill. A Diffrent World has a TON of episodes like this, and it’s why it’s one of my faviorite sitcoms: it tackles a lot of really heavy topics with  a steady brush and while it can be heavy handed, sometimes heavy hands are necesary to carry a heavy topic.  The racists showing up suddenly also fits because Racists hide in plain sight. You don’t know someone you know is prejudice or some stranger is till they reveal themselves. They could show up any time anywhere and you can’t be ready. And I cant possibly claim to know what that’s like, but I’m sad that in this nation of ours this shit has never, and probably will never go away. So it fits that our antagonist shows up out of nowhere, having until now perfectly blended in with the other suited white guys in the class. Naturally, the instructor orders them to fucking leave and naturally klan monster makes some big white suprimacist speil. And being a sitcom he runs into Tom, with Tom mistaking him for talking abotu the crime and White Supremacist mistaking Tom for a fellow racist. Tom decides to invite george.. and while it’s clumsily framed as a wacky sitcom misunderstanding.. it’s very clear things just got VERY dangerous. 

Speaking of George he’s awoken from his nap by the ladies who are both still worried and while he goes into his usual digs on florence, and questions why she needs her bat... he instnatly sides with her and prepares to go kick some racist ass once he finds out what happened. It’s a nice shift, as it once again breaks the tranquil normalcy of this sitcom with the violence of racisim. And while there was no phsyical violence form the asshole.. to me racisim itself is still a form of violence. Thinking you are suprerior to another race just because your skin’s a diffrent color and wanting them gone or not to be near you is in itself violent to me. And while Wheezy again has good reason for holding George back, tihs is just what the fuckers want, Geroge is also right: right NOW it’s talk.. but how long before they start burning stuff on thier balcony or come for htem in the night? there’s.. no easy answer her, no easy solution.. just a man fearing for his life justifably whose probably been through this time, and time, and time again, dealt with his buisnesses being vandalized and his life being threatend and probably been beaten some too JUST for being a black business owner. So it’s understandable he’s fucking fed up and just wants them gone. Tom naturally invites him to the meeting., and harry agrees, botht hinking i’ts just a floor meeting and not a disguised KKK Rally. 

So at the meeting, the KKK Fuck does his spiela nd tries to assure them that “what you’ve heard about us is wrong”. And again this si part of what makes the episode resonate: guys like this try to make themselves seem resonable. THat “Their not racist” their the right ones and your wrong for wanting equality. It’s why these movements gain traction, they tap into people’s inner ugliness and disastifaction with life and give them an easy target for it. It’s what the president did for four years, i’ts what his sycophants at fox news CONTINUE to do: try and present being a racist, homophobic, xenophobic peace of shit as a viable and stable option when all it makes you is a racist , a coward and a dinosaur who can’t accept change or things difffrent than you.  When this guy eventually goes into a rant, as George showing up triggers it and Tom and Harry dont’ take his shit for as econd, with tom proudly mentioning his black wife, and both holding George back for the same reasons Wheezy did with Florence, he talks abotu them “taking our property and destroying our homes”.. and it all sounds EERILY like when Tucker Carlson went on about property damage during the black lives matter protests last year... and as a wise tucan in a suit once said, fuck you tucker. And as John didn’t say but I certainly will, I Hope you choke on your own spray tan you racist seditionist prick. My point is this sort of rhetoric, trying to frame black people as the enemy.. never fucking went away and is on cable news every night. It was in our white house for four long years. It won’t go away and probably never will and everyone of every race has to be on guard to find these pricks and make sure their message is drowned out with love. And that’s what makes this whole thing relevant: that these pricks hide in plain sight and mask their arugments with civlities.. but at the end of day are just hateful monsters who just want a scapegoat for their problems or even may just hate because it’s easy, or because they just wnat to and don’t need an excuse to be the worst human garbage imaginable. 

It makes what happens next all the better: Asshole has a heart attack, HORAY, and no one knows CPR since the kid walked out on the class with his dad before they actually learned it. George relucntantly sighs.. and knows what he has to do. He goes and saves the fuckers life. And that, friends, is why I brought up George’s racist past and i’m glad I knew about it giong in: because it shows how far he’s come. From hating white people.. to saving the WORST of the WORST of white people.  He regrets it of course, saying the guy should’ve died, and that he won’t be greatful and he’ll just keep on hating.. but his friends point out the truth: George was the bigger man. He saved the life of a man who hated him just for existing and who’d gladly have him lynched if he could and was trying to run him out of his rightful place in the building, because it was the right thing to do. Because that fucker sure as hell wouldn’t. Because despite being a monster.. it’s still a life.. and he can waste it however he pleases.. but he’ll now ALWAYS know a black man saved it. George may regret his decison.. in the dark, where no body would blame him for letting the fucker die or even know he could’ve saved him until he got home, and his wife would’ve barely blamed him, he still choose to save the worst of humanity proving depsite his curmodgnley nature, he’s some of the best of it.  It dosen’t change the asshole, he leaves on a gurney telling his son “You should’ve let me die”. George is unsuprised and leaves with his friends. And I do like this: the racist dosen’t MAGICALLY change because he’s saved by a black man, he’s still a fucking monster. And that is what sets him apart from George: Whiel George was a bigot, he not only never went as far as this monster, but he changed. He learned to let go of his hate as it was eating him alive, and while he certailnly and rightfully won’t let go of his resintment for white people, he’s accepted he can’t hate ALL of them for what some did to him. This asshole has no such excuse and no such growth, he probably died being the same miserable piece of shit he was , resenting forever a black man saved him. And that’s hwo it should end.. youc an’t save everyone and you can’t change a person that dosen’t want to. George changed only because he wanted to and he realized he was wrong evne if he’s loath to admit it. This guy wont’ and never will becuse some racist pieces of shit just will never accept the truth that all people were created equal.

His son though clearly has, thanking George before he leaves, and later as the rest of the meeting, realizing what these people are and what they plan on, leave as the assholes right hand man tries to continue said son refuses to acknowlegde him rips up the poster and leaves. See the old man not changing worked.. but so too does this.. showing some simply dont’ know better and some CAN change.. but like George.. they have to WANT to change. Only you can change you. And hopefully it’s for hte better. 

This episode was excellent as i’ve made clear, and I don’t have honestly much to add to it. It was a pleasure and black lives matter.
