Zendaya in KC Undercover vs. The Tonight Show @monthly-challenge | Day Fifteen: “Sports”

[fandom-fire-dump]

The Other Side from The Greatest Showman, but it's Martin convincing Jimmy to leave his life of luxury to join the team. I don't know, it was cool in my head.

[honey-minded-hivemind]

Ground keeper! Reader after awhile figures out who they think is the owners of the house a technically their boss. It the pair of brothers who, despite being dressed in such old fancy clothes, are as rough and tough as mountain men. Victor and Logan, they think their name is, even if Victor always calls his brother "Jimmy". One of them has a daughter who's just as wild, but they all seem nice enough.

They must be part of a historical reenactment club or fashion preservation society or something. People are constantly visiting, wearing old styles. There's a cute redhead in a poodle skirt and her boyfriend who never takes off his sunglasses, even at night. A boy with a German accent and performance clothes right out of "the Greatest Showman." He claims another girl is his sister, but she has a southern accent and a full cowgirl get-up, complete with pistol. A man with a cajun accent who is always in a 1930s trench coat is always flirting with her, so Reader tells him off their shears until she tells them he's OK. There's a man in a wheelchair wearing a WW2 soldier's uniform who is always stared at longingly by another man in some sort of 1970s suit. The 70s guy is normally accompanied by a set of twins who Reader assumes in his son and daughter. The son wears shiny disco clothes, complete with a white suit, and the daughter has a really cool hippie vibe going on. Both seem tired with their dad's pining over the soldier guy. A woman with white hair and the most gorgeous ballgown you have ever seen in normally accompanied by a strong looking man with glasses and tweed jacket Reader's pretty sure they saw their dad wearing in photos during the 90s.

There are more but Reader always tries to be polite to their bosses and guests, even if they always try to scare them. They can't help that Reader has always been a bit (a lot) skittish and nighttime in a graveyard doesn't help. They just make small talk until the guest decides its time to go back inside, where Reader's never gone.

Until a terrible storm hits one night while Reader is working, and it's not safe for them to drive back home. They try to hide out in the little gardener's shed, but Logan grabs them their collar and drags them through the front door, telling them they could stay the night. There's room for at least a thousand more in this mansion anyway.

Reader didn't mind the old people, really! That much dedication to preserving different eras of history was amazing! Splendid, even! They all just... happen to spook Reader, almost every time they show up. They're all so quiet! How come Reader can't hear them approach?!

When they go inside, though... Reader stays outside. Look. That mansion is old, probably has rotting wood, might have some raccoons or opossums or ghosts, and Reader really really really doesn't want to be scared like that. So out they stay, tending the graves, the bushes, the flowers, and doing battle with dirt and mud and whatever else ends up dirtying the grounds.

Except this storm is awful. Horribly so. Pouring rain, hailstones, freezing winds, and lightning all fill the air, and Reader is forced to take shelter in the decaying garden shed. It's small, it smells like moss and old earth, and it's cramped. But it's out of the rain, so there's that. And it's not inside that creepy mansion...

Then there's a rattling of the door, then Mr. Logan is staring downn at them, snarling about getting inside or they'll freeze to death, and soon Reader is being dragged out of the small shed and towards the giant mansion across the grounds. Mr. Logan has a vice-like grip, his hand is ice cold, but he doesn't stop for a second, even as Reader struggles to not trip or fall over the various rocks and branches and hailstones that litter the dirt...

It's all too soon when he slams open the door, shoving Reader inside, then slamming the doors behind him. They're ushered to sit in a room down the hall, filled with a warm fireplace, and are soon being stared at by the numerous people who gather there.

"So!" says one of them. "Who wants to play a game?"

✨TIPS✨

1. Citrine

Why don’t you go out and live a little? I’m not talking about parties or commitments. I’m talking about feeling the wind in your hair, the sun on your skin, and the air through your lungs. This automatic life you’re living is making you miss the present moment and embrace an anxiety that’s not even yours.

Connect with yourself again, do things for yourself and no one else. Helping others is great, spiritual work is great, and making money too, but when you leave this earth, the only thing that remains is you. And don’t be afraid to try and fail. Just go for it and see where this leads you. Make your life worth the flashback.

2. Ametyst

Please be calm right now. It’s not an easy phase, and some news and situations came out of the blue. But you’re going to get through this. You’re being prepared for better moments, but some changes needed to happen for you to step out of your comfort zone. Take your time to process all that, but don’t lose yourself in grief and isolation. You’ve got what it takes to overcome this situation, so ask your guides for the support you need and keep swimming! Also, the people you worry so much about need to learn how to swim by themselves too. Everything is in the right place, even if it doesn’t seem like it.

3. Rose quartz

When did you convince yourself that you’re not loved, don’t matter, or don’t deserve the best?

We have the power to make things we focus and believe in reality, but this can be a trap if your thoughts are so full of self-sabotage. Stop nurturing this bs, cause people care about you, and you should care more about yourself too. Your guides are desperate for you to ask for help and put your head up. Therapy will be super beneficial right now, but with that, try to remember the kid you were, what you really liked, who you are besides people’s opinions, and ask yourself how you really want to live your life. You are reproducing toxic traits to yourself that aren’t even yours.

You deserve love, you will find your people, but first, find and love yourself.

Specific message for a small percentage: That idea of business of yours (for some specific group a coffee or beverage business) could go well, but in a different way. Maybe you could start by creating online content to see where this goes. A bookstore is also something you should think about, but in a fresher and edgier way.

Audition Masterpost and Song Info (2/2)

Part 1

Right at the end of the week, here's Part 2 of the information I promised. This talks about the styles of various songs of the roles, again to give more information before the audition form comes out.

Note: there's a chart I made of voice types I imagine different characters to have under a cut below. Please read the notes above it before looking at it, though!

General info:

More major (ie Wither), serious, or Watcher-centric events will be in a similar style to the first song, Middle of Nowhere (which is already on Youtube). A lot of the other songs focusing on delving into the lives of players will be in a more folky style.

Excerpts of people's songs, when necessary, will be posted in the coming days!

The deadline for the first round of auditions is 00:00 UTC on the 20th November. People who are in contention for parts will be notified about further processes after this date.

Part-specific info:

The three main parts are Martyn, Scott and Grian, in this order. Information about styles of their songs is listed below:

Martyn – you can actually hear an excerpt of his first song here – he'll sing in a similar style for more than just this. In general I've been inspired by a lot of Oh Hellos music (eg Where Is Your Rider). When focusing on the Shadow Alliance and Watcher lore side of things though, songs will be more in the style of Middle of Nowhere. I can post an excerpt of another of his songs if necessary (In Spring We Met).

Scott – his songs are generally quite regal and collected – though it doesn't necessarily embody the second aspect of it, you may find that Honour Bound from the Death Note musical has quite a similar atmosphere. I will be posting some excerpts from his songs played on the piano (not necessarily in the key they'll be in).

Grian – I haven’t found a specific song for him, but his style and songs are VERY clear, sharp, and punctuated – definitely more on the modern musical theatre end of things. A lot of the later ones are more angry (slightly unhinged, though not nearly as much as Joel, ie When Will You Learn. The others are quite charismatic (ie telling tales because he Watches things, acting as a leading figure to the Southlands, trying to get people to gather wither skulls eyc). If necessary, I can send recordings of me improvising/trying to figure out some of his songs. I'll also be posting a wordless excerpt with live singing of some of his part in the third song, which he shares with Bdubs, to get across some of the stylistic differences I have for them right now. Note that Watcher!Grian is canon to this, as we're following Martyn's lore.

Throughout the musical, we'll be dwelling on the Southlands and the Shadow Alliance quite a lot, and as such the information in this paragraph applies to BigB, Lizzie, Ren, Impulse, Mumbo and Jimmy. The songs of the Shadow Alliance are quite similar in style to Middle of Nowhere, whereas a lot of the Southlands songs are more similar to (though not exactly the same as) the excerpt of the Martyn song I linked and posted. I will be posting a piano excerpt of 'A(ha)lliances' as well.

(Note that with Ren in particular, I imagine the atmosphere of a lot of his lines to be similar to that of Hellfire from the Hunchback of Notre Dame (though obviously... without the same message).)

Other roles with either solo parts or large roles in duets consist of Pearl, Tango, Bdubs, Scar, Joel, Jimmy and Cleo. Song information for these roles is below:

Pearl – livelier and more chaotic than Scott, but they share quite a few of their songs together. However, her solo – as well as letting her be more unhinged – is somewhat dance-like (she’s killing people on a dance floor after all — it's more modern as opposed to things like waltzing, but it isn’t 'dance music’). Again, I'll send excerpts of me working things out in that style if necessary.

Tango – very showman-like, quite jazzy (think the music of his intro). An excerpt of You Bet Your Life, his solo, has been made and will be posted shortly.

Bdubs – similar to Tango, an excerpt of his song will be posted – it's in a similar style but not as jazzy. I imagine him to be quite loud and vocally powerful.

Scar – I imagine his parts as having an atmosphere quite similar to Jack’s Lament from The Nightmare before Christmas – and to a lot of Jack's songs, actually.

Joel – VERY unhinged. Though I don't imagine the voices being too similar, I imagine the atmosphere of his parts being quite similar to The World Has Gone Insane from the 1994 concept version of Jekyll and Hyde the musical.

Jimmy – this isn't set in stone, but I imagine his song (about being worried about dying first again) being quite similar to the atmosphere of the first 35 seconds of Waiting In The Wings (Reprise) from Tangled: The Series

Cleo – their solo is Die For Me, so you can rewatch the scene to get the atmosphere (her episode 5 – not sure about the exact timestamp). Again, I'll try to send excerpts of me working out things in that style, but note that I don’t have it pinned down as much the others.

Voice chart

Notes about the chart before you see it:

THIS IS NOT SET IN STONE. This is what the characters sound like in my head right now, with no reference points. Though it may stay like this, it can and probably will change based on who I hear – this has already happened with one character! So don't be afraid

Range-wise – I did put higher and lower there. HOWEVER, I can adjust the range as needed for each part. This is more to do with your voice sounding deeper or higher as opposed to actually being lower or higher – I can demonstrate this in a recording if necessary.

These are rough placements! Even if things do stay like this, there's a range of values each voice could be placed at – imagine a wide circle around every name.

In general, remember that though I have some ideas, I have not written most of it – I'm continuously working on it. There's always a possibility that things will change (although if you get a part

[jules-has-notes]

The Disney Showman (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

Nostalgia can be a powerful force. The Greatest Showman portrays P.T. Barnum as a dreamer who wanted to entertain people above all else. There is a very similar air to the general perception of Walt Disney. Both men were, of course, much more complicated than their public personas, but the parallels were too strong for the PattyCake guys to resist. Especially since both Tony and Layne had worked at Disney World, performed on Disney cruises, and collaborated on projects with the company at large. So combining the Showman music with a visual retrospective of Walt's life was a perfect fit.

Details:

title: Unexpected Musicals — The Disney Showman

performers: D.J. Muto, Paul Kaleka, & James Keaton (Walt Disney); Eli Jacobson (Roy Disney / featured vocals); Jonathan Timpanelli & Joey D'Angelo-LaJoie (Robert & Richard Sherman); Olivia Adkins (Snow White model); Amy Garton (Julie Andrews); Isabella Muto (Shirley Temple); Jacob McAlister, David Kotary, James Berkley, Domenic Servidio, Chadd Winston, & Eduardo Marques de Oliveria (animators); Alexander Browne (animator / Mouseketeer); Rachel Copeland Evans, Gizelle Pagan, & Darlene Chudinski Henry (Mouseketeers); Brad Pettit (Mouseketeer / chimney sweep); Jason Tibbs, Michael Rundy, Matt Hudson (chimney sweeps); Lauriel Marques de Oliveria, Grace Flaherty, & Sonia Roman (inkers & painters); Hannah Laird, Tony Wakim, Layne Stein, & Lilly Kolb (featured vocals)

original songs / performers: "Rewrite the Stars", "A Million Dreams", & "Come Alive" by the cast of The Greatest Showman (2017); "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" by James Baskett in Song of the South (1946); "I Got No Strings" by Dickie Jones in Pinocchio (1940); "You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!" by Bobby Driscoll, the cast of Peter Pan (1953), & The Jud Conlon Chorus; "Mickey Mouse Club March" by the cast of The Mickey Mouse Club (1955)

written by: "Rewrite the Stars", "A Million Dreams", & "Come Alive" by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul; "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" by Allie Wrubel & Ray Gilbert; "I Got No Strings" by Leigh Harline & Ned Washington; "You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!" by Sammy Cahn & Sammy Fain; "Mickey Mouse Club March" by Jimmie Dodd

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 2 March 2018

My favorite bits:

combining the Disney fanfare with instrumentation from "Rewrite the Stars"

young Walt sketching Oswald the rabbit, followed by adult Walt creating Mortimer Mickey Mouse

the newspaper headline noting that Disney's first studio failed at the start of "Come Alive"

those extremely perky Mouseketeers

Tony and Layne doing their best faux-Cockney accents for the chimney sweeps' vocals

showing footage from the actual parks

elder Walt coughing as he walks away, a somber sign of the lung cancer that took his life

returning to young Walt still dreaming of ♫ "the world I'm gonna make" ♫ that we've just seen

Trivia:

The actors playing young Walt Disney and Shirley Temple are siblings.

James is yet another of Tony's fellow alumni from the "Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue" show at Universal Studios, having played BJ himself for many years.

The subtle special effects makeup that transformed James into Walt was created by Andy Wright at Makeup and Creative Arts, and was applied by Rick Underwood.

This video was filmed on location at the MBS Equipment Company warehouse space in Orlando, using some of their lighting equipment. There is also additional footage from both Disneyland and Disney World.

PattyCake garnered some praise from several of their fellow former theme park cast members in the YouTube comments for both the accuracy of the behind-the-scenes imagery and the celebration of the Disney legacy.

As they did with their "La La Land" video, PattyCake highlighted their attention to detail with a series of "Double Take" posts on social media, comparing shots from the video with the iconic moments they had recreated.

As a bonus, the thumbnail for the video itself is a recreation of a photo of Disney that was also used as the cover art for PBS's episode of American Experience about him.

[joker-daughter]

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with Anonymous about z not bringing up Tom during Challengers. She spoke about him during her vogue interview and brought him up unprovoked on jimmy kimmel, doing a spin class with her mother when it was obvious he didn't want to ask about him. Maybe her team didn't want her, too, lol.

On the London premiere, she was asked about him doing Romeo and Juliet and helping him rehearse for it.

The issue isn't about her mentioning him. She has been famous longer, but because of her work outside of Spiderman, the greatest showman, Dune trilogy, Challengers, and Euphoria. She isn't defined outside of her relationship and has accolades and respect from the industry.

Again, I'm not dismissing the unprovoked hate she gets, which is misogynistic and racist. It's not hurt her career cause the respect is there in her industry. Also, fashion is a huge part of her brand. let me not forget Law, lol.

This is where I blame Tom and his team. Since being in this relationship, he's become a "bf" to the eyes of the public and fans. He's not been ruthless putting his name out there or promoting his work the same amount he promotes her work. Again, it's not a crime. He's a grown man.

However, great actors are not defined by their personal lives. It's about their output, which Tom needs to lean into. I remember when he said he didn't like doing the Prada Campaign because he was uncomfortable selling himself as a product.

Most actors have that opinion until they don't. Timothee had those rules too until he leaned into his stardom and did a Chanel/Apple campaign, and it's not changed who he is as an actor(that is debateable, but we move lol).

He's lost that confidence he had when he was younger, and I hope doing the Nolan film, he gains it back.

I think when Anon brought Tom Cruise jumping on that couch, they didn't provide context. During that interview, he was heavy into his religion and announced he was dating/marrying Katie Holmes. This was peak time in the 2000s for press. Actors were more open and overshare like crazy and his "passion" came across crazy. The backlash was that ppl thought he was off his rock (he is, but in terms with the public perception, lol), he wasn't hired with studios that much.

He had Speilberg, but without mission impossible, his career wasn't the same. It wasn't really until Tropic Thunder and being less personal to the public that he was able to let the work do the talking and build back that goodwill he developed in the 90s.

Tom needs to do that. Vulnerability isn't sustainable. He is 28, so there's still time to change but already he has a hurdle to jump because the public perception of him has been so poor imo. Lowkey blame Marvel cause they thrive off hate as good pr but we move, lol. Glen Powell is 35, and his team is still having articles about how great his career has been this yr despite only making a profit in one film and having the other on netflix. I was listening to his recent interview with the anklee, and you can deny his passion for storytelling. Tom, it's always so personal, and that's not what builds longevity. Respect is always at a distance.

You guys brought up Timothee, but he was on that college game day trying to reach out his film to the male demographic so his film can do well but also cause he wants that oscar. That good pr imo. Tom's losing that male democracy cause he starred in Uncharted as a character that was miscast in their eyes mot mine, but because he's embraced being a bf instead of being cocky. Men respect cocky guys. His personal life is not relatable to them, that's why they pick it apart.

This is jmo. Thank you for your time.

this is the last ask on this topic that I’m gonna post for a while…

I just woke up so I’m gonna keep it short (sorry!), I hear you and somewhat agree but isn’t it fucked up that he can’t go about his career like he’s doing rn without it fueling anything negative especially since he’s not doing anything bad? that’s the mind baffling part here…I mean you can even see it with some locals being confused as to why people are shitting on him so much instead of men in that industry who are actual scum, so yeah this tide also doesn’t seem to be turning anytime soon hence why I’m curious to see how he and his team will go about this once the rollout of his projects begins…and I mean none of us want him to become a soulless pretentious crowd pleasing wanna be either, of course

That, after a very long break, I picked writing up. And slowly and steadily establishing a writing routine again. Also overcoming some very, very heavy writer's block and imposter syndrome.

Also keeping that energy and interest for Showman. This is going to be a looong fic but I have so many ideas for future chapters and I really want to read that last one. Maybe in some years but I want to achieve that.

Also I practice to be more proud of my writing in general. The fact that so many people were happy when I started to write and post again, meant the world to me and moved me to tears. After such a long break and in general, I didn't expect people to still care about my work or be happy when they see I uploaded something. So, yeah. That was really moving.

📝 What is one growth area you have for your writing?

A more diverse language.

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

Another part for the "Beautiful"-series. Of course, it will be smut again and I have a general idea what kind of smut this time but it hasn't turned into words yet. It also depends if I follow a second, to that first one belonging, idea. Because if I do, it would chance the first idea a lot.

Sausage makes an impromptu visit to the Codlands, one that leaves behind quite the messy two certain rulers

Playlist

A03 Link

Jimmy was rather worried as of late. He'd seen the warnings of Mythland’s King returning, and how hostile he'd acted. He’d already shown up at the Undergrove, House Blossom, and Rivendell, and each of those visits had included a threat of some kind; or a warning of what Xornorth would do to the kingdom once he’d reached full power.

Joey had also made a reappearance as well, but not even being demon possessed could make Joey get off his ass and go around threatening people. No one was truly surprised by this, as Joey was known for keeping to himself more often than not. The Lost Emperor seemed very content to simply close his borders and relish in his demon romance, a romance Jimmy doubted was going anywhere but down hill.

Joey wasn’t really the problem here, that was Sausage, who seemed to take some sick sense of joy in tormenting his fellow rulers. The other problem was…whatever the two missing rulers had been doing in their short absence. Though whatever it was definitely wouldn’t be a good thing, that was for certain.

The Codfather had increased the amount of people watching his kingdom’s border, so it was no surprise when a codfolk told him that Mythland’s King could be seen flying in. That and the near daily reports from other rulers. Jimmy told them not to stop him, that he would deal with Sausage. His citizen’s safety came before his own, always.

He heard when Sausage landed next to him, armor clinking as he did so, and the cod turned and feigned surprise. Well it was half feigned, he was not expecting the other man to have bloody red eyes instead of the striking blue they used to be. Oh and the outfit change, that was new, but it still suited the brunette, just in an evil sorta way.

"Oh," Jimmy said, struggling to keep the newfound terror out of his voice. "Hi Sausage!"

"Long time no see, huh?" Mythland’s king smirked in response, leaning on what looked to be a newly acquired sorcerer's staff.

"Yeah, it's been what? Two, three months?" The cod said, a little unsure of how long it had been since they last talked. The two didn’t exactly have frequent conversation before, and the months had been blurring together for Jimmy as of late.

“Yeah, about three months!” Sausage smiled. “I’ve been practicing with my new powers!”

The Codfather forced a normal smile, hand shifting to grip the handle of his trident. “I can kinda see that! You got a new staff!” He gestured to the item in question, taking note of how Sausage was watching him carefully, just as carefully as he was watching the brunette.

“Oooh, yeah I did!” Sausage said, a touch of his old self still underneath the darkness that had recently consumed him. It made Jimmy want to grind his teeth to dust, what the demon was doing to the people he cared about. He wished Sausage wasn’t a prime example of that.

“Maybe I could show you what this bad boy can do one day!?” Sausage smiled widely, almost unnervingly so, twirling the staff in his hands like a showman.

“No, thanks. I’ve gotten rather busy since we last spoke,” Jimmy’s decline of the offer sounded apologetic, and the lies slid off his tongue far too easily for it to be a good thing. The Codfather had a sneaking suspicion Sausage’s magic show would have a very bloody end to it, and that was something he wasn’t ready to tangle with. The other man simply made a disappointed pout at his words.

“Uh, cool voice dude,” Jimmy complimented after a stretch of stilted silence between them, gaze flying around as he tracked Sausage’s every move. The way he put his staff away with a puff of magic and how his gloved hand fell far too close to his sword for comfort. He was hoping flattery might spare him from whatever the other had in mind, if only a little. “Sounds a little…demonic, but still cool.” It wasn’t really a fake compliment, Sausage had gained a kinda cool new voice; which was probably a bad thing under these circumstances.

“Why thank you!” The Mythlander purred, leaning forward on his hilt of his sword. The smile he was currently flashing felt…more unnaturally wide than it had before.

“Uh, yeah, you’re wel-” His words were caught off with a yelp. The cod’s back hit the outer wall of his house with a painful thunk , a shadow falling over his vision. Jimmy swallowed, watching as Sausage tilted his head upward with the tip of his sword, his other hand pinning the blonde’s waist to the wall. “I could show you those powers I’ve been practicing with, how does that sound Codfather?” He smiled, his newly corrupted voice now low and threatening.

“Nah, I’m good!” Jimmy gasped, thrusting his trident forward and twisting. To both ruler’s surprises the attack actually managed to catch Sausage’s side. The shorter man stumbled back with a hiss of pain, “You’re gonna pay for that!” Sausage yelled, clutching his bleeding wound with one hand. The cut was deep, and bleeding enough for the red liquid to be flowing from Sausage’s gloved hand. Jimmy let out a yelp of pain as a burst of something--he assumed it was magic--hit his side, mirroring the wound his trident had given the Mythlander. His back hit the wall again, and had probably added a bruise to his new list of injuries.

Another stab of pain hit him, this time the familiar feeling of a sword piercing him. The weapon was pulled away from his shoulder, and the cod let out a primal growl of agony. Sausage stood over him once more, the joyous smile from earlier now replaced with a more menacing frown. He was oddly silent as well, which gave a sense of forbidding to Jimmy. Sausage was never silent.

Jimmy shut his eyes as Sausage’s sword was shoved into his leg, causing him to crumple to the floor like a wet piece of paper. He wasn’t going down without a fight however, as he began kicking upwards and falling his limbs. It seemed to work, as Sausage let out a loud swear when he tried to pin his enemy down. Something other than the sword came down on his skull when the cod tried to struggle to his feet, The Codfather cracked his eyes open again, and saw another blast of magic being readied through hazy vision. He braced himself, not putting it past the Mythlander to fatally wound him, not anymore.

“Sausage!?” Fwhip’s familiar voice broke through the fog in Jimmy’s brain, and he saw Mythland’s king turn his head towards the sound in shock.

“Oh, Hi Fwhip!” The brunette almost purred, moving away from the injured Jimmy.

“What are you doing!?” The Count growled, running to move between the cod ruler and his attacker. Jimmy didn’t know why the half dragon was here, but he couldn’t care less, not at the moment.

“Didn’t mean to injure your little boy toy so badly, sorry about that!” Sausage stepped backwards, and the Codfather could hear the sounds of an elytra and rockets being brought out. He’d stopped looking at the Mythlander and focused on Fwhip instead, who had drawn his sword hesitantly.

“My boy to--Sausage what did you do!? ” Fwhip yelled.

“He started it!” With that last call the brunette was gone, taking off with his firework rockets as quickly as he’d arrived. Fwhip stood there, dumbfounded, for a moment, before quickly dropping to Jimmy’s side.

The cod felt his head be moved into Fwhip’s lap, and he snuggled closer with only a vague worry of blooding the other’s clothes. “T-hanks for that…” He stuttered, feeling familiar clawed hands cup his face. Worry was radiating off the Count in waves, and he started to prop Jimmy upwards without a reply.

The next thing the Codfather knew the head of his namesake was being removed, and he was being slowly shifted into his bed. He watched Fwhip rummage through his bedroom through a half lidded gaze, presumably for healing items. He hoped that’s what it was, because the Codland’s healers were probably too far away, and none of them knew how to heal demonic magic. That was very understandably not a part of their training, because normally there weren't world destroying demons on the loose corrupting people.

Jimmy just barely heard Fwhip’s mutter of “ Shit ,” before unconsciousness induced by his injuries claimed him.

The past ten minutes felt like a blur to Grimlands Count. He’d been coming to the Codlands for slime, and maybe because he missed Jimmy a little, and maybe to talk about Scott. But then he had run in on Sausage attacking his partner, the first time he’d seen the Mythlander in months was him attacking Jimmy, because of course it would be. Now here he was, frantically searching Jimmy’s bedroom drawers for any sort of healing item. There had to be some in here somewhere, Jimmy was just as clumsy as the Count was accident prone.

He found the much needed items after a minute, a minute that felt too long. The cod was unconscious, had been hit by demon magic, and was bleeding in far too many places at once for it to be anything but possibly fatal. Fwhip swore when he broke a potion of healing in his haste, glass shattering across the floor. Fine then, he’d have to do with one. Why did Jimmy only have two healing potions in the first place!? His partner was as underprepared and stupid as he was clumsy it seemed.

He was at the bedside in an instant, dodging shards of newly broken glass as he propped Jimmy up with his pillows. He managed to get the life saving potion to the cod with ease, then moved to focus on his other injuries. Most had been healed by the potion, but the precious liquid didn’t have enough to fix all them completely. If Jimmy was conscious Fwhip would have him eat a golden apple, but it was too likely he’d choke in this state, so he’d have to work with this. It was fine, he’d healed himself from worse and with less supplies. The first wound he looked to was a head wound, one seemingly caused by an axe; having to regrettably remove the Codfather’s head to determine that fact. Fwhip did not want to think about how that had happened, he might actually break down if he did that.

Thankfully, the wound has ceased the worst of its bleeding, and all the Count needed to do was lightly bandage it and clean it to ward away infection. The wounds on his leg and arm; which looked to be sword wounds; required the same treatment, it was just where Sausage had struck his side that required a little more work. It was more like a burn wound, and reminded Fwhip of injuries from dragon’s breath, just far worse. It wasn’t quite a burn, more of a giant bleeding blister on Jimmy’s tanned, scaly skin. It took Fwhip a few minutes of careful disinfecting and even more careful bandaging, but the wound was patched up, but still likely to cause the Codfather a great deal of pain. Fwhip put the remains of the healing supplies away after he was done, before managing to tuck Jimmy in.

He sat on the other side of the bed quietly, holding his head in his hands. Why had Sausage been here? Why was he attacking Jimmy? And what did he mean by the Codfather started it?

Fwhip’s next thought was that he should notify the Codfolk, which he really didn’t want to do for a number of reasons. The first because, from what Jimmy had told him, the cod were still quite hostile to him; though he was fairly sure there had been some witness to the scuffle. Sausage, the idiot, had attacked Jimmy in the middle of his empire after all. The second was that he didn’t want to be blamed for or associated with the attack, which was a fair and likely assumption to go by if you were an unsuspecting cod citizen. Again, their two empires were enemies, and it was well known how close the Count and Sausage used to be. The third and biggest reason was that he really, really did not want to leave Jimmy alone right now; not after thinking he was going to literally die .

Fwhip sighed, running a hand through his hair. He couldn’t just not tell anyone, what would he do if someone came looking for the Codfather? Mind made up, he reluctantly stood with a quiet sigh, casting one last, long glance at the still unconscious Jimmy before exiting the room and his partner's house.

It didn’t take long for Fwhip to find a few worried codfolk hovering around, nor did it take long for him to get weird stares. Vaguely, Fwhip noticed he had Jimmy’s blood staining his shirt and pants and tried not to dwell on that fact for too long. Instead he beelined for the one cod citizen he knew well enough, Caleb. The young cod was standing with what looked to be two other members of the infamously annoying Cod Council, if the outfits and misplaced sense of entitlement were anything to go by.

“Count Fwhip!” An older cod said, seeing his approach. Caleb turned, and fixed him with the friendliest look he’d ever gotten from one of Jimmy’s people.

“Er, Hi, Caleb-” He began, but was quickly cut off by the third codfolk; Fwhip was already beginning to understand the Codfather's irritation with these people and it had only been five seconds . “The Codfather was attacked, correct? Where is he?” The older person at least had a sense of worry under their stern tone.

“He’s in his house unconscious, he’s already been healed the best he can be.” Fwhip responded, a bit caught off guard. He was somewhat aware of the small crowd forming around them, and the whispers that came from it. Most of them weren't very friendly whispers either.

“Healed? By you? ” The second Council member asked, and Fwhip felt himself go on the defensive.

“Yes,” He confirmed it tentatively, but to his surprise no harsh words followed his own. The Council member just simply called over another cod, who Fwhip assumed was a healer, before turning to enter Jimmy’s house. The Count was a little dumbfounded by this, and next thing he knew he was back in Jimmy’s room and there were four other people crowding the bed.

Caleb, who he’d gravitated towards unconsciously, muttered to him, “You’ve got blood on you, by the way.”

Fwhip just shrugged, still trying to mentally process the last twenty minutes of his life. “I’ll clean it later,” He muttered in response, focused on watching the crowd around the Codfather. Caleb said nothing in response, just gave him a glance before looking away again. A few minutes later the young cod was ushering the others out, seemingly able to sense that Fwhip wanted them gone and he wanted them gone now. Something in him was roaring with protectiveness, possessiveness even, and he was not okay with people crowding an unconscious Jimmy at the moment.

The Count sat down on the edge of the bed again, the shack empty once more except for the two emperors. Apparently, the healer hadn’t given Jimmy any more potions or messed with his bandages and Fwhip had to wonder why. Maybe they didn’t want to waste such valuable, life saving items on something that could heal naturally, albeit it would take a while for that to happen. That was the only explanation that made sense to him, and after the Sausage encounter Fwhip kinda needed things to keep making sense if he wanted to keep it together, because that attack was absolutely messing with his head right now.

That was a thought for later though, as Fwhip’s brain immediately went to the next task he probably needed to do. He needed to tell the other rulers what had happened, because if Sausage did he would be doing it to gloat and threaten them. And that was not a good way to break the news to Joel and Lizze, in fact it was the worst way.

He pulled out his communicating with another sigh, listening to Jimmy’s steady breathing as he sent a message far too casual for the situation. He had to retype it several times, his hands were apparently shaking. The Count hadn’t noticed that until now.

fWhip: Hey

fWhip: Jimmy just got attacked by Sausage

Pearlescentmoon: what???

Smajor1995: WHAT

GeminiTay: oh my god!?!

LDShadowLady: IS HE OKAY???

SmallishBeans: Is he hurt???

fWhip: Yeah, he's fine. Healers patched him up already

He watched more worried messages flood his screen, deciding to omit that he had been the one to tend to Jimmy’s wounds. He didn’t think the others would feel comforted by that, as Fwhip was more known for being accident prone and impulsive instead of gentle and good at healing. But the Count had done a good job, he thought so at least, since Jimmy wasn't currently bleeding to death. It wouldn't be the first time he'd patched the Codfather up either.

LDShadowLady: How badly was he hurt??

fWhip: head injury, stabbed in the arm and leg, magic wound to his side. A few healing potions and some bandaging took care of it.

Shubble: thank god

Katherineelizz: why are you at the cod empire anyways??

fWhip: it was to discuss trade deals or something

SmallishBeans: I'm gonna kill him

SmallishBeans: I'm gonna kill Sausage

Smajor1995: I didn't think Sausage would start attacking people…

GeminiTay: Was it him or the demon?

fWhip: That was definitely Sausage. He wasn’t being controlled when he did it

SmallishBeans: Fuck

Pixlriffs: That’s…worrying

Despite himself, Fwhip let out a small huff of amusement at Joel’s swear. Yeah, fuck was a good reponse for that, despite the latter supposedly not believing in the demon. Maybe this had made him.

Pearlescentmoon: can jimmy talk to us???

fWhip: nah, he passed out from his wounds pretty quickly. Thought he was gonna die for a second if im being honest

LDShadowlady: he WHAT

fWhip: he’s fine lizzie i promise

fWhip: im literally in the same room as him rn

fWhip: i can seeing him breathing

LDShadowlady: if you say so

GeminiTay: Sausage hurt him that bad!?!?

fWhip: yeah

Smajor1995: how did JIMMY provoke him that bad what the hell. I know he can be a little shit sometimes but jesus???

Before the Count could type his reply there was a shuffling sound, and he turned his head to see Jimmy starting to sit up right. He typed a hurried message before putting his communicator down on the bed and promptly ignoring it for the next few hours, no matter how many times it buzzed.

fWhip: shit gtg hes awake

He stood at the side of the bed, leaning over the cod ruler just slightly. “Fwhip?” Jimmy asked, wincing as he tried to prop himself upwards with his injured arm. The half dragon rushed to help him sit up after that, keeping a tight grip on the blonde until his back was comfortably propped up against a plethora of pillows.

“How do you feel?” He asked, gaze flicking over the bandages to make sure Jimmy hadn’t reopened his wounds.

The Codfather took a moment to find his words, but spoke as soon as he saw the worried flicking of Fwhip’s tail. “Everything hurts, but less than before,” Was what Jimmy settled on, and the Count smiled gently at the description. Well, that’s one way to put it.

“Yeah, I patched you up,” He muttered, moving so he could rest their foreheads together. “Was worried you were gonna die if I didn't do it fast enough.” Jimmy made a worried hum in response, but the Count moved away before he could be pulled closer. Before leaving the cod he pressed a kiss to the other’s forehead, steering clear of the bandaged area. “Stay here and rest okay? I’ll be right back.” He exited the bedroom again, ignoring Jimmy’s curious gaze following him until he was out of eyesight and the door was shut gently behind him.

Fwhip walked into Jimmy’s small kitchen, deciding he needed to do something with his hands. He’d decided on cooking before he’d even reached the room for that reason, and the fact that he was a fairly decent chef; though he thought the Codfather was quite a bit better. He’d cooked when either Gem or Sausage had been sick before, because they both couldn’t, so the task wasn’t a stranger to him. His siblings never shut up about it either, about how sweet he could apparently be when one of them was injured. Fwhip thought this was a way he showed affection, part of his love language maybe, but the Count never gave much thought to stuff like that.

He’d grabbed the ingredients for a vegetable soup before even realizing what it was, and later he would remember how the cod did it for him just a few weeks before. Maybe he was paying Jimmy back unconsciously by cooking for him, he thought as he set the water to boil, mildly surprised that Jimmy had so many ingredients. All that old teasing of him having nothing but slime was really stupid in hindsight. He tapped his foot as he sliced up whatever produce he’d gotten from Jimmy’s pantry. The ginger hadn’t paid attention to what he’d grabbed really, as everything was still kind of a blur to him; he’d just noted whatever it was needed to be chopped up before being put into the pot, then grabbed a knife to do so. The dish he was making felt like something he made often, with how familiar and unconscious his movements had become while preparing it,

There was a shuffling at the doorway as the soup finished, and Fwhip spun around quickly. Jimmy stood at the doorway to his kitchen, leaning on the frame for support. The Count stopped his wings from springing out in surprise behind him and running the meal he’d just made.

“Why are you out of bed?” He sighed, letting slight irritation seep into his tone. This idiot was supposed to be resting and recovering ! Not trying to reopen his wounds by walking around with an injured leg!

“I wanted to see what you were doing.” Jimmy said with no hint of apology in his voice, awkwardly shuffling forward until he stood next to Fwhip, who noted that he now had to lean on the kitchen counter to stay upright.

“Making you soup,” Fwhip said, turning back to said food. He turned off the fire and began moving it into two bowls. He hadn’t even noticed he’d made enough for two until now. “Oh, thanks..” Jimmy responded, sounding very touched by the action. The half dragon ignored how that made him swell with something fuzzy, focussing instead on getting other back to bed.

They made meaningless, stilted small talk between spoonfuls of the soup, which Jimmy had pointed out was potato soup. Ah, that was why the motions had felt so familiar to him. The Grimlands used to export the vegetable and still had plenty of it, so potato based foods were something Fwhip found himself making more often than not.

“The others were making fun of you in that group chat” Jimmy said, glancing over at Fwhip. The Count was sitting on the edge of the bed again, eating food that barely tasted like anything in his mouth with Jimmy sitting next to him. “Really?” He huffed, unsurprised, making a mental note to check his communicator later.

“Yeah,” The Codfather hummed, glancing at the abandoned device across from them. Fwhip had been wondering which one of their communicators he’d used to see that, and now he had his answers. The half dragon wasn’t very surprised that Jimmy had used his instead of his own. He wasn’t sure it had survived the earlier attack.

“Your clothes have my blood on them,” Jimmy spoke again, and Fwhip was glad that he was at least trying to fill the silence. There was a lot they needed to discuss, and he wasn’t quite ready just yet. The small talk was helping though, and maybe the blonde could tell that.

“So do yours, Mr. Snuggles His Bleeding Head Into My Lap” Fwhip snorted, taking the now empty bowl from his partner and placing it on the nightstand, along with his own of course. He’d clean those later, for now a strained smile was escaping him as Jimmy made a strained laughing sound at his remark.

“ Jimmy! ” The Count hissed out suddenly when he faced the blonde again, noting the red that was now seeping into his already bloody shirt. “You're bleeding!” He made a vague gesture towards the other’s side, tail flicking in worry behind him again.

“Oh, whoops.” The cod muttered with a glance at his wound, wincing a little. Fwhip grumbled something unintelligible as he began to grab the bandages once more. The Codfather watched silently as the ginger applied more pressure to the wounds, wrapping more bandages and gauze on top of the old ones. The only sign he was being watched was the slight hitch of the cod’s breath. Sometimes it was from pain, sometimes it was something else. Fwhip didn’t think this was the time to be admiring his beauty, but to each their own he supposed.

“You didn’t have to heal me, ya know that right?” Jimmy said softly when he was done, making grabby hands at the ginger. Resigned to this insufferable man’s needs, he shifted closer until Jimmy could hug him from behind. The Count hoped this wouldn’t open his wounds again.

“I know,” Fwhip sighed. “But I wanted to, I felt like I had too. Think of it as returning the favor, from when you healed me.” He felt his face heat up in embarrassment at his words, and god Gem was right wasn’t she? He really could be a giantaic sap when he was worried over someone, couldn't he?

They sat in silence for several minutes after that, enjoying the presence of the other, and the Count finally allowed himself to fully process everything he’d seen that afternoon. He tightened his hands into a fist, and the slight shaking of his form was quickly noticed by the person hugging him. “Do you…wanna talk about it?” Jimmy asked after a moment, nuzzling his face into the crook of Fwhip’s neck, the ginger’s loose ponytail tickling his cheek slightly.

Fwhip took a deep breath, beginning to explain as best he could. It still hurt to say his brother's name aloud. “I…none of us thought he’d actually try to kill someone,” His voice got smaller as he spoke, the last few words becoming a whisper. He wasn’t really sure how to word the next part, how scared and worried and upset he’d been for the Codfather, the pure panic he’d felt as he healed him; so he went for an imaginary sicario. A comparison of sorts, what Jimmy would feel if his sibling attacked the most important person to him.

“It’s like … .imagine if Lizzie started attacking me, or Scott or Joel and one of us almost died…” He trailed off, and Jimmy just made a hum to indicate that he was listening. Fwhip was honestly grateful for the silence; he didn’t want pity or sympathy or anything . He wanted someone to hold him and just listen. He’d heard a lot of “I’m sorry’s” after they’d lost Sausage, and how people were there for him if he needed to talk, and he was getting a little sick of it at this point.

“Don’t know if you heard it, but he called you my ‘boy toy.’” The Count added in a murmur, frowning as he remembered the Mythlander’s words.

“ He what!? ” The blonde exclamation was a mix of amusement and surprise. Clearly he hadn’t heard what Sausage was saying after all, at a certain point anyways. Maybe that was a good thing, the cod didn’t need to know the corrupted king had blamed the fight on him anyways.

“Is that…what people think you are to me? A toy? ” He wondered in a whisper, curling closer to Jimmy. Strong arms wrapped around him tighter. The Codfather wasn’t just a toy to him, he doesn’t think that had ever been true; not even when they’d hated each other. But if their friends thought that…if they thought he was just using the blonde…

“It doesn’t matter what other people think, Fwhip.” Jimmy muttered into his hair, previous amusement vanishing as quickly as it had come. “Because I know that’s not what you think of me, and that’s all that matters.”

“Thanks..” Fwhip whispered.

“Let’s rest for a while, yeah?” Was the Codfather’s response, and soon enough they were under the covers together. They’d changed clothes of course, the bloody ones now piled in a corner of the room. His inventor’s goggles had ended up…somewhere, which was a problem for morning Fwhip. Jimmy had given him an old t-shirt and an old pair of pants, things Fwhip fully intended on stealing. What could he say, they were quite comfortable clothes, and they smelled a little like Jimmy. Maybe that was part of it. The cod was now curled around him best he could, and Fwhip made sure to lay on his uninjured side; Sausage had very conveniently stabbed both Jimmy’s right arm and leg.

He rested his head under Jimmy’s, deciding to see what the others had said about him while he’d been ignoring his communicator. The Count stifled snorts of amusements and exasperation, aware of the sleeping person he was practically laying on.

GeminiTay: tell us if he’s okay please!!

Smajor1995: bye fwhip

LDShadowlady: can you send like a picture of something? Because im guessing he doesn’t wanna see us yet and i just wanna know

SmallishBeans: babe you are so overprotective

Shubble: you literally aren't any better joel

Pearlescentmoon: they’ll probably be cuddling or something if he does send a picture

GeminiTay: really pearl?

Pearlescentmoon: what? they have it BAD for each other

Smajor1995: can confirm they do. have spoken to both of them recently about stuff

Pearlescentmoon: i thought you would be in for some fwhip bullying

Katherineelizz: what kinda stuff scott? Huh?

Smajor1995: none of your business <3

LDShadowlady: OH and tell jimmy to message us when he can!! we’re worried!!

Pixlriffs: leave the poor man alone lizzie he almost DIED

Fwhip rolled his eyes fondly, adjusting his hold on the communicator to snap a picture of them. Though he doubted anyone else would be awake to see it, though they might be. He’d lost track of time a while ago. His friends were stupid, absolute idiots , but that's why they were friends wasn’t it?

fWhip: [A picture from above. Fwhip is snuggled up to Jimmy, whose chin is resting on his head as he sleeps. Fwhip has a undeniably fond look on his face]

fWhip: yeah we’re fine dw

Pearlescentmoon: told you they’d be cuddling

Pixlriffs: aw. cute

LDShadowlady: is that jimmy’s old shirt

fWhip: mine had his blood on it

SmallishBeans: okay fair

GeminiTay: he’s gonna steal it

fWhip: gem!!

GeminiTay: <3

The Count reached over to Jimmy’s wooden nightstand, placing the communicator next to the Codfather’s head when no new messages came through after his sisters. He curled in closer to Jimmy, and fell into a surprisingly peaceful sleep after the day he’d had. He left in the morning, after sharing breakfast with Jimmy and making him promise to visit the healers every day. One home he contacted Gem and Pearl, scheduling a meeting time. They had to talk about Sausage, they couldn't avoid it any longer. The Mythlander and his demon overlord needed to be dealt with, before he actually became a murderer and they lost a friend forever.

He’d convince Gem to speak with Scott, because he knew damn well the elf probably hadn’t . He doubted his sister would need too much convincing, but he’d do it anyway. Those two were their best bet at figuring out how to stop the demon. No one knew Xornoth better than his brother, and no one knew magic better than Gem.

If you could corrupt something, you could uncorrupt it or seal it away, the demon wasn’t any exception, no matter how many people they took over or tried to kill.
