Today's been bad. Like I just cried buckets and need to rehydrate bad. If you have the time could you imagine a Lenny/Midge and Luke/Lorelai or a Lenny/Midge and high school Jess/Rory or a Luke/Lorelai and adult Jess/Rory double date? Whichever has you most inspired.

(aw man I'm so sorry about your day. Let me see what I can do!)

"I never promised it would be a good play," Lenny chuckles as their drinks arrive.

He'd been given four comp tickets to a new show on Broadway and it had been...less than stellar. Luke has to admit though, that even though the play was crap, he's having a good time. Lorelai looks beautiful (she always does, really, but she got all dressed up for a night in Manhattan), and Midge and Lenny are in high spirits, chatting happily as they wait for their food to arrive.

"One time I went on a date to a terrible musical," Midge tells them, smiling. "It was so bad, we left during intermission."

"Oh my god, what was the musical?" Lorelai asks. "And why do I feel the sudden urge to need to see it?"

"It was the Lizzy Borden musical," Midge explains. "We realized during intermission that since the murder happened at the end of act 1, then act 2 was going to be the trial."

"Oh, god," Luke says, horrified. "An entire second act of a musical that's just a courtroom scene?"

"So we left," Midge shrugs.

"And came to my show instead," Lenny chimes in, grinning wickedly.

Lorelai gasps. "Midge! You took a date to see Lenny's act? That's so unfair to the date!"

Midge lifts her hands, trying not to laugh. "In my defense, I had no idea I had feelings for Lenny yet. Nothing had happened between us, other than him sending me flowers as a thank you for hanging out at his Steve Allen gig."

"As if flowers isn't a hint?" Luke grumbles.

Lenny chuckles. "The card I sent wasn't particularly romantic. Just a thank you and an invite to my next show. Which she missed, but her father went to. We got arrested together. He thought the flowers were nice."

Lorelai laughs at that.

"My father was over the moon when we got married," Midge tells them. "Finally, an intellectual in the family!"

"God, I can't even imagine my parents approving of a boyfriend I picked out myself," Lorelai comments. "Was that weird?"

Midge shrugs. "He hated Joel. He was fine with Benjamin - the doctor I took to see Lenny's show - but he actually wanted to talk to Lenny. I'm pretty sure if Papa could have married Lenny himself, he would have."

"Progressive for a man born in the 1890's," Lenny jokes.

Midge reaches out, patting Lorelai's hand "They'll come around to Luke."

"They won't," Lorelai snorts. "But it's okay, believe me. I've never cared what they think before, I'm not about to start caring now."

"Parents can be tough," Lenny concedes. "It took Ma a little while to warm up to Midge. And she never liked Honey."

Midge purses her lips but says nothing.

"Ooh," Lorelai comments with a chuckle. "Midge has feelings."

The older woman shrugs. "Sally was a tough old broad."

"From the day she was born," Lenny adds, snapping a finger.

Luke clears his throat a little awkwardly and looks to Lorelai. "My mother would have really liked you."

She melts a little, looking touched. "Luke, that's so sweet. I'm really glad."

"Well, you know. She was a really great person, my mom," Luke shrugs. "And you're a great person, so..."

"Oy the schmaltz, kill me now," Lenny groans jokingly.

"As if you're any better," Midge chuckles.

i don't know which one of the primarchs would sugest it, but i can't stop imagining thw primarchs having a karaoke competition for the family night, what do ou think about it? who would be the worst singer?

I have this weird, personal HC that the one who probably love music the most is... Leman.

The guy grew up with wolfs, and while yes, they are lovely and cared for him very well and I have a lot of feelings about that fact, they don't have music. So imagine him, as a teenager, still half feral and hearing music for the first time. Hearing signing. An entire concept he never even tough about or considered. And it make his semi wolf brain! Happy!! Because dogs also enjoy musics!!! He has no rythmes or musical talent, but he will jump around and dance and sign horribly, because that's what music is about, the joy and emotions it creates.

But! Without further waiting....

The primarch, and they are having a karaoke night

Leman: As mentioned before, he's the one who invited everyone to come Karaoke with him. He's.... Full of enthusiasm, and is trying to make everyone sign at least once. His performances go all over the place, but we have to mention Hungry like the wolf - By Duran Duran, wich made the family cheer him.

Fulgrim: the second most into music!!! He jump after that and does an AMAZING rendition of Womanizer - By Britney Spears. With the choreography. Ferrus is visibly sweating, it's too early for this. Mjød is brought to the table to deal with this, and shit start getting out of hand.

Sanguinius: Grab the mic next, because he had no fear of going after Fulgrim, and actually start signing Tous les mêmes - by Stromae. He love this kind of music and it means nothing, really... Except that Horus is now making a face.

Ferrus: after drinking some liquid courage and because it would make Fulgrim happy- stumble his way through Uptown Girl - by Billy Joel. It's adorable. And he get some wolf whistles his way.

Jaghatai: shit is getting too couply, time to bring some TRADITIONAL signing in here. Goes up and sign Erbed Sookher -- By Aryuna Nimaeva, with full on throat signing. Everyone is slow blinking, but leman is fucking THRILLED. slap Jaghatai on the back and demand to be taught how to throat sign!! The two start sharring alchool and??? They are???? Getting along?!????!?!!!

Magnus: has had too much to drink at this point, because he's a nerdy lightweight. Stumble on stage, and someone (Fulgrim) put on Everytime We Touch - by Cascada. Yell more than he sign but it make everyone laugh and cheer.

Vulkan: He wants to sign toooo!! He's getting!!! Pumped up!!! Definitlt not the best vocalist, and everyone is surprised by him picking MIC Drop -- By BTS by oh my GOD foes he have the right attitude to pull that shit off?!?!

Roboute: He's also getting quite drunk, and he's quite happy, so he pull up one of his fav song Piano Man -- by Billy Joel. Horus start complaining that it's the second time Billy Joel has been pulled up. Sanguinius try to calm him down. Turn out, he took Sang's song pretty personal. Robby is low key sad no one listened to him singing.

Horus: Pissed now, and had too much of a drink. Go on stage, grab the mic and perform Look What You Made Me Do -- by Taylor Swift. Yes he's a petty bitch like that. Sanguinius look like he's about to cry.

Corvus: oh now she's pissed. Grab theic, and perform, while DIRECTLY pointing Horus, Fuck you -- By Lily Allen. Leman is laughing so hard he fall in Lion's laps and stay there. Gracefully throw the mic randomly to her bros when she's done

Mortarion: he's terrified. He can't sing. He doesn't have the voice with his respirator. Someone take pity on him. And put I Want It That Way -- by Backstreet Boys. This is actually a good move, because everyone is also siging and covering his lack of voice.

Alpharius and Omegon: they snatch the mic and perform Levan Polkka -- By Hatsune Miku. Somehow, leaks are produced and they got the dance on POINT. Everyone is confuse. Vulkan is kinda into it.

Angron: he's mind is getting weird between the nails and the booze, but oh my GOD does he being the house down when he start singing Killing in the name -- By Rage Against The Machine. Konrad seem especially into it.

Konrad: he's vibrating. He wanna do a song too now. No one knew he even liked musics. End up performing a frankly HILARIOUS Bohemian Rapsody -- By The Queen. Does every part freakishly well. The night is starting to slow down considerably, as everyone is getting reaaaally drunk.

Lorgar: he's.... Very, very drunk. Does an absolutly gut wrenching performance of Loosing my religion -- by R.E.M. end up a sobbing mess at the end, splayed on Magnus, Sanguinius and Corvus's knees. Horus is still in the dog house. Leman is now asleep against Lion.

Rogal: See that Roboute is still sad that he didn't get to sing Piano man, so he grab him, and they duo We Didn't Start The Fire -- by Billy Joel. It's not the best as they are both stumbling around drunk but by god is it fun.

Perturabo: He mad to go after Rogal, especially when everyone is super drunk and getting ready to leave... But he still take the time to Sing Bad Day -- by Daniel Powter. It make a few of his bros smile, and they all start leaving.

Lion: he wait until everyone has left, and gently sing Des p'tits bout de toi -- by Roxanne Bruneau, very very softly and gently to a sleeping Leman in his laps, while he pet his hairs. Yes, he has a crush, and didn't want anyone else to hear him sing. Leman smile in his sleep.

Previous chapters conveniently available here.

[6 February 234 Before Age. Nat-Chezz II.]

“There, you see, it was written right here in the book.”

Zaperc held the dog-eared paperback open with one hand and jabbed his leathery finger onto a particular page he had highlighted. Despite being completely outmatched, he seemed to be utterly assured that the book would somehow vindicate him.

Luffa snatched it away from him and glanced at the cover. She was about to ask if Zaperc had lost his mind, until she saw her own name.

The book was entitled: The Luffa Way: The Path to Unlocking the Success Secrets and Awakening Your Inner Legend. There was a picture of a glowing golden figure, which Luffa supposed was meant to be her, but it looked more like a Saiyan man. On the back cover was a small photograph of the author, an unctuous-looking man with a toothy, insincere grin and a pretentious gleam in his eyes.

“Who the hell is this guy?” Luffa demanded. “I had nothing to do with this!”

“But... but how did you manage to unlock your inner legend without Luffa’s book?” Zaperc asked.

“I am Luffa, you dimwit!” she shouted. She pointed at the short, thick hair that now glowed yellow on her scalp. “And I didn’t get this way by reading any book.”

At her feet, Zaperc’s son, Brockle, rolled away from her and sat upright. “Don’t be... don’t be ridiculous!” he said as he struggled to catch his breath. “You can’t be Luffa! According to the book—“

“The book!” Luffa growled. “The book! Is that why you weaklings took over this planet? So you could sit around and read all day?!”

“Weaklings?” Brockle sputtered. “How dare—?”

With a contemptuous snort, Luffa tapped him on the shoulder and he collapsed to the floor. Ignoring his groaning, she sat on his back and started flipping through the pages.

“I’ve been photographed at least a hundred thousand times,” she grumbled. “Can’t even wear that sundress I bought without some creep waiting for me to fly away.”

“Brockle!” cried Zaperc.

“Get... off.... me!” Brockle grunted.

“Oh, it was always satisfying to kill them,” Luffa muttered to herself. “That look in their eyes when they realized they just laid down their lives for a picture of somebody’s butt. But there was no challenge to it, and I can’t just waste my life picking off photographers.”

“Believe in your inner legend, son!” Zaperc said. “You can do it!”

But Brockle could not do it. Though he flailed his arms and legs mightily, Luffa had him pinned firmly to the ground. She crossed her knees and licked her finger as she continued to page through the book.

“All they’ve got in here are 'artists’ conceptions',” Luffa said. “And every 'eyewitness account' I see in here is from some planet I’ve never been to! Wait a minute. Planet Krouton? That’s not even a real planet!”

“You can do it, son!” Zaperc cheered. “Unless... she really is Luffa...”

“I went to Krouton in some made-up story a fan wrote about me!” Luffa seethed. She looked up at Zaperc with disbelief. “Whoever wrote this thing must have seen the same thing and thought it was a true story! You mean you twits were taking advice from this? No wonder you’re all so weak!”

“But there has to be some truth to it,” Zaperc said. “Your transformed state. Your role in creating the Federation... and you defeated thirty Saiyans on Vedev III—“

“Fifty Saiyans,” Luffa said sharply. “And most of that bunch were a lot stronger than your little band of raiders.”

“Raiders!” Zaperc exclaimed. “No, you don’t understand! We didn’t come here to loot this world. We came here to be its champions!”

Luffa closed the book and glared at him suspiciously.

*******

In the galley of the Emerald Eye, Luffa chopped vegetables while Zatte leaned against the opposite counter.

“Let me get this straight,” Zatte said between bites of a taproot. “Some guy you’ve never heard of wrote a self-help book, and made it all about you. Even though he’s never met you, and he never got permission from you.”

“Right,” Luffa said without looking up from her work. “You want some blue-cress in this? I’m in the mood for blue-cress.”

“Go for it,” Zatte said. “But this guy writes a book and puts your name on it to help it sell. Then this Zaperc guy buys a copy, and he thinks it’s some kind of Saiyan Holybook.”

Luffa tensed up at the sound of that, and the rhythm of her knife on the cutting board was disrupted. “I mean, yeah,” Luffa said, “but when you put it that way...”

“But I thought the other Saiyans all believed you were a phony,” Zatte said. “They don’t believe Saiyans can transform the way you do, so they think you’re not a real Saiyan.”

“Apparently the guy who wrote that book did a better job convincing Zaperc than I ever could,” Luffa said. “Not that I ever tried to convince anyone. If my people want to pretend I’m an alien imposter to soothe their egos, that’s their problem. But Zaperc’s gang is buying into a whole other set of lies. He thinks I’m a man who awakened his 'inner legend’ through the power of positive thinking or some other malarkey.”

“Don’t be too hard on them,” Zatte said. “Positivity got them this far, didn’t it? They got your attention, after all.”

“But they didn’t come to this planet to get my attention,” Luffa said. “They came here to make some half-assed imitation of what I did with the Federation. They want to defend Nat-Chezz from anyone who tries to invade it. Sort of what I’ve been doing, but on a smaller scale.”

“And it worked,” Zatte said. “You showed up and gave them a bigger challenge than they ever would have found roaming around space, picking fights they knew they could win.”

“Challenge,” Luffa scoffed. “Against me, they’re like a bunch of ants trying to bring down a dinosaur.”

“What about the Chezzi?” Zatte asked. “Are they okay with their new ’champions’?”

“I talked to their king,” Luffa said. “He’s totally on board with this idea, but I think it’s just because he likes having a bunch of Saiyans working for him. A lot of big shots are like that. They see a Saiyan bodyguard as a status symbol. ‘Look at me, this guy can fight a whole army and he does whatever I tell him.’ That kind of thing.”

“Like when Wildthyme was controlling us,” Zatte said.

“Exactly,” Luffa said, pausing to point her knife at the ceiling. “That little bastard could have made me do all sorts of things for him, but all he really wanted was for me to stand around and make him feel important. Same thing here, only I don’t think the Chezzi king knows what he’s gotten himself into.”

“Do they even need protection?” Zatte asked.

Luffa nodded while she scraped diced peppers into a bowl. “They’ve got a lot of scandium resources, whatever that is. They’ve been conquered a few times before, which is probably why those villagers I talked to were so confused. They probably just thought I was kicking Zaperc out to seize the planet for myself.”

“This sounds kind of complicated,” Zatte said.

“I know. That’s why I’m gonna uncomplicate it. If these fourth-rate Saiyans are going to go around interfering in people’s business, that’s one thing. But they’re doing it in my name, and that really ticks me off.”

“Where do we start?” Zatte asked.

“We?” Luffa asked. “These are Saiyans, Zattie. They may be weaklings, but they’re still dangerous.”

“I’ve lived with one for a while,” Zatte said. “She’s moody, but I eventually showed her who’s boss.”

“Yeah, well this is serious, boss,” Luffa said.

“So am I,” Zatte said. “Like it or not, you’re an inspiration to these people, just like you’re an inspiration to me. It’s going to be weird for them to see their golden hero as a real person. I still have trouble with it sometimes, and I’ve known you for years. I might be able to connect with them better than you can.”

Luffa continued chopping silently for a while, then at last said: “Okay, maybe you’ve got a point. I’ll bring you along.”

Zatte began to make an excited noise, until Luffa cut her off by adding: “On one condition. Don’t embarrass me in front of them. Most of them still don’t know what to make of me. The last thing I need is an oversexed Dorlun confusing them even more.”

“Of course not,” Zatte said. “I know how you feel about public displays of affection.”

“I’m not saying you need to pretend like you don’t know me,” Luffa said. “Handholding is fine. No kissing, though.”

“I know the drill.”

“I mean it, Zattie.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

*******

[7 February 234 Before Age. Nat-Chezz II.]

The Saiyans were gathered together just outside “Fort Luffa”, which was a mansion that had been donated by a wealthy Chezzi, albeit begrudgingly. Some of them were sitting on the ground or large stones, while others had taken furniture from the mansion. Luffa’s star-yacht was parked a hundred yards away.

There were seven in all. Zaperc was about sixty, but Saiyans aged very little through most of their life span, and so he looked very much like his young son, Brockle. Both were pale skinned, but Brockle was a head taller than his father, while Zaperc had a long ghoatee at the end of his chin.

Lounging on a couch was Bodi, the first Saiyan Luffa had encountered on this planet. He kept leering at her over a pair of cheap sunglasses, and raising one of his thick eyebrows as if to convey his interest. The last time he had tried to flirt with Luffa, she knocked the wind out of him. Apparently that punch hadn’t gotten the message across, or he just looked like that all the time. Luffa planned to hit him again either way.

Vigurd had a very stocky body, the sort that would strike terror into the hearts of her enemies, except that her ruddy, cherubic face had a sickly sweet innocence to it that completely undermined her attitude. She was scowling at Luffa for giving her a bloody nose in their last encounter, but her angry expression only made her look even cuter. It was a sad lot in life to be so adorable, but Luffa respected Vigurd’s determination to overcome her deformity.

Lesseri, on the other hand, was at least 70 inches tall, with an extremely muscular build and long shaggy hair that went down to her hips. Her complexion was somewhat darker than Luffa’s which seemed to compliment the countours of her mesomorphic body. Luffa was a married woman, of course, but a Saiyan with Lesseri’s physique made her consider what might have been.

Hijik was a thin, bitter-looking man with only a tuft of black hair at the center of his otherwise bare scalp. He beady eyes regarded Luff with complete contempt. It was obvious to her that his disdain for her ran deeper than her quick victory over their group yesterday.

Finally, there was Jikama, who barely warranted Luffa’s attention. He had red hair and eyes, and his build was chunky, but not to the same extend at Vigurd. Like the others he viewed Luffa with distrust, but she cared very little what any of them thought of her. All she wanted from them now was her attention.

“You claim to be defending this planet, but none of you even sensed me coming until I was already in your lair,” Luffa said. “I wasn’t using my full power, but I still should have been hard to miss, so I’m guessing that means none of you were paying attention.”

Zaperc was the first to speak up for the group. “We were, uh, resting after a long patrol—“

“All seven of you?” Luffa asked. “At the same time? If I had been a real enemy I could have destroyed you all from orbit.”

“Where do you get off telling us how to handle ourselves?” Hijik demanded. “I only joined this group because Zaperc said it would help me get stronger.” He glanced at Vigurd and Lesseri before turning back to Luffa. “But so far all I’ve gotten is an earful from a bunch of women.”

Luffa smiled. “I thought you might have a beef with me, Hijik,” she said. “So let’s get it out into the open.”

“You’re no Super Saiyan,” Hijik said. “I don’t know what that transformation is, but you can’t be as strong as Chanisp was.”

“And why not?” Luffa asked.

“Because...! Because look at you! Everyone knows Saiyan women lack the fighting skills of men. You can’t get angry enough to tap into your full power. It’s simple biology!”

“Come and show me then,” Luffa said. She held out her arm and curled in her fingers to invite him to attack. “Unless you’re afraid.”

Vigurd and Lesseri chuckled at this. Zaperc looked at him expectantly, but Hijik didn’t move.

“Oh, you’d like that, wouldn’t you?” he scoffed. “You’ll just thrash me like you did yesterday, and pretend you’ve proven me wrong. Well let me tell you something: You women have been pushing us around long enough, and if you’re not careful—“

“Let me tell you something, Hijak,” Luffa broke in. “You’re all talk. I’m guessing you only threw in with Zaperc because you wanted to find some shortcut, some way to prove you’re genetically superior to half of our race. If I were a man, you’d take that as proof that you’re further ahead than any Saiyan woman, even if they happen to be stronger than you. But I’m not a man, am I? So where does that leave you? Let’s find out.”

Luffa snapped her fingers and suddenly Zatte appeared beside her, as though materializing out of thin air. She dropped a supply bag at her feet and waved cordially to the group.

“Who’s she?” Brockle asked.

“She’s my wife,” Luffa said.

“Oh, wonderful,” Hijik grumbled.

“Zatte isn’t very strong,” Luffa said, but she’s got some interesting abilities. You’ve already seen how she can camouflage herself. Even I couldn’t sense her until she revealed hersel—“

Luffa happened to glance at Zatte while she spoke, and this completely derailed her train of thought. The Dorlun woman was wearing a one-piece swimsuit, with the words “Super Saiyan Club President” printed on the front. The rest of her outfit consisted of combat boots, a cropped leather jacket, gun holsters strapped to her bare legs, and her usual eyepatch. She was eating a small lollipop, and occasionally adjusted the stick with her hand.

“There’s a club?” asked Vigurd.

Luffa stared at Zatte, who grinned back at her. “We talked about this,” Luffa whispered.

“It’s hot out here,” Zatte said. “And this is my favorite swimsuit. Unless you wanted me to go back to the ship and get the one you seem to like so much.” She reached out and tapped Luffa on the tip of her nose when she said "you".

“No!” Luffa said quickly, her face turning red. “No, this is fine.”

“I knew you’d see things my way, dear,” Zatte said as she kissed Luffa on the cheek.

“Hey!” Luffa yelped.

“Enough of this!” Hijik whined. “I didn’t come here to watch you show off your alien consort!”

"I *brought* her here as a challenge," Luffa said, suddenly regaining her focus. "You don’t seem to eager to fight me Hijik, so why don’t you take on her?"

"That’s absurd!" Brockle objected.

"Is it?!" Luffa shouted. "Your father was willing to do whatever I said when he thought it was in that stupid book! Well, I flipped through it last night, and I did find a couple of things I liked. "That line about 'Never backing down from a challenge’?"

Brockle looked to Zaperc, who nodded in agreement.

"You shouldn’t need me or anyone else to tell you that. Least of all some alien hack who’s never set foot on a battlefield," Luffa went on. "It should be burning in your blood. You should be excited to fight me, Hijik, or Zatte, or anyone else who comes along. But you’re too afraid of losing, of having to rethink your opinions."

"What species is she?" Hijik asked carefully.

"What difference does it make?" Luffa demanded. "You’re strong enough to defeat her. You have the advantage, which was why I planned to drop you two off in a jungle a couple thousand miles from here. Nice game of hide and seek."

Zatte took a pistol from one of her holsters and checked the settings. "You did say you wanted heavy stun, right?" she asked.

"Definitely," Luffa said. "You might have to hit some of these guys twice to bring them down though."

"Whatever you say, sweetie," Zatte said.

Luffa blushed again, and a few of the other Saiyans did as well.

"Will you cut that out?" Luffa hissed.

Zatte simply grinned and checked her other weapons.

"But... I can’t sense her ki," Hijik blubbered. "And if she can become invisible..."

Bodi suddenly stood up and removed his glasses. "So it’s a snipe hunt? Very well! I accept. Tracking pretty girls is my specialty. Take heart, Hijik! If this alien smells as lovely in the jungle as she does here, then the day is already won." He struck a pose and added: "Game Over!"

Luffa took one of Zatte’s guns and shot him Bodi in the chest. He curled up into a ball and began groaning from the pain.

"He’s right," Luffa said. "You can sniff her out, but don’t think that she’ll just stand still and leave an easy trail to follow. Not to mention that she’ll be hunting you while you hunt for her. One time she... what is that?"

They all began curiously sniffing at the air, except for Zatte, who was spraying something onto her body.

"Camphor," Zatte said. "It’s good insect repellent, and the smell’s kind of nice. I always bring along way more than I need, though."

She looked at the bottle and stroked her chin. "Well, whatever I don’t use, I can always dump onto a tree or something."

Luffa was genuinely surprised by this. "Well," she said. “So much for trackin her scene. I guess you could still hear her if you pay close attention."

"None of you heard me when I put all those stinkbombs a few minutes ago," Zatte said.

Vigurd blinked twice and asked "What stinkbo-- AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!"

Suddenly they were all holding their noses and groaning as a putrid, sulfurous odor permeated the entire site. Luffa took a step back, but she was too amazed by Zatte’s tactics to properly defend herself against them.

"I know my weaknesses," Zatte explained. "And I take steps to compensate for them. More importantly, I make it my business to know my enemy’s weaknesses. You Saiyans are used to getting by with brute force solutions, but small fry like me don’t always have that luxury."

She approached Luffa and wrapped her arms around her. Luffa was perturbed, but didn’t try to stop her. "I’ve watched this lady do some incredible thing,” Zatte said. “But I’ve also had to wash skunk spray off her because she didn’t think ahead. She could blow up this whole planet, but she gets uptight if I get too affectionate around other people."

She pointed at Hijik. "And you," she said. "You’re more easily flustered than Luffa is, but nowhere near as strong. The sad thing is that you’ve got a good chance of catching me in that jungle, but you’re so afraid of getting shown up by an alien woman that you’ve already mentally given up."

"This is stupid," Hijik whined. "You two are just setting me up to fail! Why should I play your sick game if I can’t win?"

"Because failure is the best teacher," Luffa said. "I didn’t get this strong by being undefeated. Neither did Chanisp or Old Darbock, or the other old heroes. We Saiyans grow stronger when we’re pushed to our limits. Or did you forget that because it wasn’t written in that book of yours?"

Zaperc shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"You should be fortifying the planet," Luffa said. "Drilling with each other and planning defense strategies with the local military. I didn’t start the Federation so I could lounge around in someone else’s house all day while I waited for an easy opponent to show up at my door," Luffa said. "I was looking for a challenge. Something to work on.

"The Chezzi king authorized our use of the mansion," Brockle said as he pointed towards it.

"Fine, but he’s not forcing you to stay inside it all day!" Luffa replied. "None of you were remotely prepared for a fight."

"So what?" Lesseri asked. "You would have beaten us either way. I told you it was stupid to stay in one place, Zaperc. It takes away our option to retreat."

"Retreat?!" Luffa shouted. "Is that all you think of when a strong opponent shows up? Where’s your Saiyan pride?"

"What good is pride if I’m dead?" Lesseri said with a shrug.

"My people say the same thing," Zatte said with an understanding smile.

Luffa shot her a dirty look and Zatte quickly added: "Sorry."

"I’l let you all in on a little secret,” Luffa said with an evil grin. “We’re all going to die. How and when is up to us. Or did your mother tell you differently, Lesseri? When she taught you to fight, did she tell you not to bother, since you’d just outlive all your enemies anyway?"

"My mother?" Lesseri scoffed. "She abandoned me to a gestation facility as soon as she found out she was pregnant." She raised her arm and flexed it, showing off her sizeable bicep. "I got this far on my own."

Luffa was shocked by her words. "Gestation facility!?" she exclaimed.

"The one on Wexloi Sigma?" Vigurd asked.

"Matter of fact, yeah," Lesseri said.

"They’ve got a good outfit there," Vigurd said. "I had my twins gestated there."

"How could you let them do that to your own children?!" Luffa gasped.

"Let them?" Vigurd said with a laugh. "It was my idea, ’sweetie’. They certainly charged me enough for it. 6500 credits just for the prenatal extraction."

"Ouch," Lesseri said.

"That’s per embryo, by the way," Vigurd added. "Which is stupid. It’s not like they had to do two surgeries. And don’t get me started on the nutrient bath fees."

"That’s monstrous!" Luffa said. "Why would you--?"

"What was I supposed to do?" Vigurd shot back. "Lounge around the house until I gave birth to them? Skip perfectly good battles just to nurse a pair of ungrateful brats? Where’s your Saiyan pride?"

Luffa clenched her fists and began grinding her teeth.

"Hey, uh, maybe we need to get on with the training," Zatte said. "I’ve got the jungle’s coordinates, so we can all just rendezvous there and get started--"

“Good point, Vigurd,” Lesseri said. “Seize the day, I always say. You can’t wait for your enemies to die of old age. At least, that’s what that bitchy Super Saiyan told me.”

Luffa cut her off. "Since you like options so much, Lesseri, I’ll give you all one. You can either help Hijik chase Zatte in the jungle, or you can spar with me."

"Suits me fine," Lesseri said. "I’d rather take a beating than listen to any more of your sermons."

"Fall. Out." Luffa said through gritted teeth.

*******

"Well, that could have gone better," Zatte said after they were gone.

Luffa didn’t answer, except to make a low growl.

"I’m, uh, sorry for how I acted," Zatte said. "I was trying to get a psychological edge, and I figured if I could throw you off balance, then I could definitely rattle them."

"You were great, Zattie," she said. "Took me a while to catch on, but you’re a genius. You knew just what buttons to push."

"Oh, well... thanks. Listen, we knew they’d be rough around the edges. They’re angry and disillusioned, and we’re gonna have to break them down before we can build them back up. So don’t let anything they say get to you--"

"That’s not it," Luffa muttered."

"Then what’s wrong?" Zatte said.

Luffa looked at her and sighed. Her expression was as wild and resolute as ever, but Zatte couldn’t help but noticed a weariness in Luffa’s eyes.

"I’m not sure what’s wrong," Luffa said grimly. "But I’m starting to think it might be me."

An OMFD Jukebox Musical

*FIRST DRAFT*

Act 1

Our prologue (Billy Brown by Mika) is sung by Frenchie and the Crew. Giving a look into what is to come in Stede’s journey (in a sort of Romeo and Juliet way).

After we’re settled in and aquatinted with The Revenge and it’s swashbuckling crew we are introduced to Nigel and the British Navy singing Fancy by Iggy Azalea.

^^ I had a hard time choosing a song for this moment so don’t hate me for this choice

After Stede has learned how to stun someone he has sings I Can’t Decide by Scissor Sisters as soliloquy.

After considering mutiny the crew is pleased and surprised to hear that Stede, of all people, has “brutally murdered” a British officer. They cheer him on by singing Some Nights by Fun.

^^ another song I considered instead of Some Nights was Where You Lead by Carole King. Imagine Lucius cautiously starting it and getting the crew to, begrudgingly, join along.

That night, Pete retells the tales of when he was on Blackbeards crew as he sings Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf.

The next morning, the crew begins to fantasize about how life would be if they were “real” pirates on Blackbeards Crew. The crew sings Wouldn’t it Be Nice? by The Beach Boys.

^^ not a required song, but it’s cute.

Stede’s crew begins to go on their “vacations” as we are introduced to Blackbeard’s men singing Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones.

^^ I also like the idea of Izzy singing Fuck You by Lily Allen

Time passes and the crew ends up at the Republic of Pirates where Spanish Jackie is introduced by singing Therefore I Am by Billie Eilish.

After being tricked into boarding a Spanish Naval ship, Blackbeard saves the crew and the company sings Our Prayer by The Beach Boys.

After saving Stede, Blackbeard begins to bond with the Gentleman Pirate. A montage of their friendship blossoming goes along with the pair singing a duet version of Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen.

Izzy becomes fed up with how attracted Ed is to Stede. He confronts his captain and sings S&M by Rihanna.

As Ed and Stede become closer and closer they begin to teach each other their own strengths. Stede and Ed decide to practice the art of passive aggression at a grand aristocratic party. As the party becomes chaos the cast sings Ballroom Blitz by Sweet.

While Stede and Ed are at the party, sexual tensions begin to rise between Lucius and Izzy. Lucius graciously turns Izzy’s advances down by singing Never Gonna Happen by Lily Allen.

We finish act one by seeing Chauncey promise to find Stede as he sings Everybody by The Backstreet Boys.

Act 2:

We begin Act 2 with Stede singing Come Sail Away by Styx to Ed as their friendship is blossoming.

As Ed is telling the crew the horror story of the Kraken he sings Hayloft by Mother Mother.

Izzy becomes fed up with Ed’s attraction to Stede and tells Ed he has to make a choice by singing Lay All Your Love on Me by ABBA.

Once the crew begins their Fuckery and bring in the Kraken, ultimately scaring Ed, they sing a “reprise” of Ed’s song (ie Hayloft 2 by Mother Mother).

Ed realizes that he’s in way over his head and believes that no one loves him for who he truly is. He sings Nobody by Mitski to Stede.

Stede comforts Ed by singing a romantic ballad reprise of Come Sail Away.

While visiting St. Augustine Jim discusses what their life growing up was like to Olu by singing Sinister Kid by The Black Keys .

Later in the act we see Buttons singing Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest to Karl as he bathes in the moons glow.

We see all of the men fighting over Ed and how they want him to present himself in a quartet rendition of Boys by Britney Spears.

Obviously the Act 2 finale is The Chain by Fleetwood Mac.

Act 3:

We begin Act 3 with Stede singing Vienna by Billy Joel as he confesses to his crimes to Nigel.

As Ed chooses to invoke the Act of Grace he sings a very sweet, romantic rendition of I Was Made for Loving You by Kiss.

As Ed and Stede begin their new life together Ed imagines all of the things he can do now that he’s free from the ego of Blackbeard. He sings One of Things First by Nick Drake.

Ed reveals his plan to run away with Stede and sings Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Carole King.

Chauncey attacks Stede and sings Emperor’s New Clothes by Panic at the Disco.

Ed and Stede sing a duet version of Dirty Work by Steely Dan as Stede leaves to return to Mary and his children.

Ed and Izzy sing Feel Better by Penelope Scott as Ed is dealing with the heartbreak of Stede leaving.

As the crew prepares for their talent show they sing Somebody To Love by Queen.

As Stede prepares to fake his death so he can return to Ed he sings Rocket Man by Elton John to Mary.

The “show’s” finale is a dark version of Happy Together by The Turtles.

May 9, 2021: A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) (Recap: Part One)

Welcome to the future.

At this point, we’ve mostly looked at the past, present, or the near-future (as in, the next ten years, if that). Additionally, we’ve looked either at nonexistent technology in a contemporary setting, or an extension of existing technology taken to a logical next step. But no more. No more realism, no more real-world rules, and nothing that we’re even close to in this reality.

Well...mostly.

That’s genuinely impressive, not gonna lie. Anyway, yeah, from here forwards (for a bit), we’ll be looking at the future and futuristic technology. Now, there are a couple of ways in which these films tend to go. The first big way that we tend to represent the future in film is the same way we always have: flying cars, futuristic technology, smart houses, and robots.

Now, there are countless examples of this future, and it always changes a bit depending on the present. Which, yeah, makes sense. After all, what I’m doing right now, at this moment, would’ve been seen by many people as a massive technological achievement, even around the time that I was born. Which, yes, I’m old, deal with it (because I can’t). Anyway, the way that this begins is with the first major filmed view of a seemingly idyllic future: Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis.

The overly mechanized (and politically dystopic) society seen in this film, as well as the visuals and technology, would inform our ideas of the future throughout the next century. Multiple themes and common objects reoccur throughout futuristic fiction. You know the stuff I’m talking about. Flying cars, automatic food machines, robotic assistants, video watches, holograms, jetpacks, so on and so forth.

But here’s the thing about the future. It’s always ahead of us, and eventually...well, we’ve gotten to most of those things to some degree. Either they already exist...

youtube

...or is currently being developed.

Well, one of them we’re still working on. And the development of more advanced AI is something we have yet to perfect, or even fully develop. However, the development of A.I. (and the consequences of that technology) are ALL OVER science fiction. Sometimes, they’re merely used for flavor to help establish the futuristic setting.

Sometimes, they’re characters with their own agency and conflicts, which may or may not define the plot. In these cases, they’re often simply there to back up the main human characters, and help with their development, and sometimes their own. You know, manic pixie dream robots.

And then, possibly most often, they’re the abject villains of the piece. they can be mysterious alien technology, like in The Day the Earth Stood Still, or a man-made danger that turns on the race that created and/or abused it.

But then, on occasion, an A.I. is given the chance to develop as a character, without being used to define the development of a human character. Sometimes, the question of what life truly means is raised through these characters, and we become attached to them outside of any other character. This isn’t nearly as common as the others, but it’s definitely not unheard of.

And for the record...things don’t often go well for those AIs. But still, some of those characters have quite a lasting impact. So, there’s quite a lot of potential for this type of character, from a dramatic standpoint. And that potential leads us to the guy who made this.

I WILL MAKE A JURASSIC PARK REFERENCE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE

Steven Spielberg gives us today’s entry, and this director of a classic science fiction story about science gone awry teamed up with the director of a science fiction film where an artificial intelligence went awry. You know, this thing.

I didn’t forget about HAL. And I won’t forget about him later, either.

Director Stanley Kubrick is pretty well-know for his mind-bending films, especially The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey. But he also worked with Spielberg on this film before his death in 1999, as this was one of his dream projects for many years, and the two directors were well-known friends.

And so, eventually, Spielberg was given the reins from Kubrick, and results were...mixed. It’s funny, because I’ve never actually seen this movie, but I remember it through its surprisingly widespread ad campaign. I used to go to NYC as a kid a lot, and there was a massive building-side plastered with the iconic logo of this movie. So, I’ve been hovering around this movie for a long time. Enough navel-gazing!

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Recap (Part One)

It is, unsurprisingly, the future. A marrator informs us that climate change has caused the ice caps to melt, and global flooding drowns several countries. You could say that it’s a...Waterworld.

I genuinely considered watching that movie at some point, and then I decided I liked myself to much to watch 2 hours of Kevin Costner’s emotionless acting. Granted, it’s not much better now, listening to the emotionless acting of...

Professor Allen Hobby (William Hurt) is a straight-up sociopath. OK, technically, he’s a robotics engineer, but dude’s making a speech, right? He talks about how far robots have come, dissing my boi Deep Blue in the process, and notes that pain-memory response can also be demonstrated by robots. He proves this by stabbing a woman in his audience, like RIGHT through the hand. Jesus, man! Why the hell would you do that?

Oh. Holy shit, I got fooled. Advanced technology indeed. But OK, so Sheila’s a robot, and a very advanced one...to us. But Hobby wants more, and proposes to his workers to make a robot that can really TRULY love. And through love may come a true subconscious, which means making a robot that can dream. And what better robot to make than a robot child? After all, all child conception requires a license in this futuristic world, so many childless couples are yearning for a child.

Which is why, twenty months later, the first robot child is offered to Henry and Monica Swinton (Sam Robards and Frances O’Connor), a couple...with a child. Um. Guys. You JUST SAID that there are legit childless couples who need a child, and those people would be best suited to love that robot child back (a VERY GOOD question raised by one of Hobby’s subordinates). So why give it to a couple whose son is still alive? Yeah, he’s got a rare disease that they don’t have a cure for yet, and is currently in cryostasis, BUT THEY HAVE A KID! Surely, that’s going to be a potential emotional conflict! And what if the kid wakes up or some shit? This is a TERRIBLE goddamn idea. Think this shit through, guys.

And yet...

This is David (Haley Joel Osment), Cybertronics’ first child robot, brought home by Henry to essentially replace their son. Which is AMAZINGLY FUCKING TONE-DEAF AND INSANE, GODDAMN. That’s extraordinarily messed up. And, for the record, I totally get what Spielberg’s going for, but Jesus Christ, man. This was a terrible way to go about this. And it gets fucking WORSE.

See, Henry (who actually works for Cybertronics) tells Monica that, once they sign the papers and complete the updates, David will imprint on them and see him as their true parents, loving them unconditionally. Which...yeah, fuck, that’s an entire DUMP TRUCK of ethics issues right there. And, while we’re at it, David is...creepy as shit. I mean it, dude, Haley Joel Osment is a VERY good child actor, but he’s laying on the creepy robot child thing THICK. And yeah, this is BEFORE he imprints on them. Jesus fuck, man, there’s a scene where the still uncomfortable Monica is outside of a glass door, and he looks back at her THROUGH THE DOOR like a goddamn SERIAL KILLER.

And I gotta tell ya, dude does not lay off that creepy-ass dial one iota. And for that matter, the music by John Williams ISN’T FUCKING HELPING. LISTEN to this shit, and imagine a robot child that you don’t know wandering around your house. It’s amazingly fucking creepy.

AND IT JUST. KEEPS. GETTING. WORSE. There’s a scene where they’re all at dinner, right, and David’s just staring at them as they eat, mimicking their actions. After all, he’s a robot, he can’t actually eat or drink anything because of his internal working. And then, out of FUCKING NOWHERE, he starts laughing like the FUCKING JOKER, and it scares the EVER-LOVING SHIT OUT OF ME. And somehow, they laugh alongside him, in the never-ending Stockholm syndrome that is this movie! And as soon as its over, he just STOPS laughing, spontaneously. Fuck me, man, I’m tempted to stop watching here and now, and I’m only TWENTY MINUTES IN! I need a fucking break.

And after that...OF COURSE she decides to activate his imprinting protocols to make him, let me remind you, LOVE HIM FOREVER! She reads out a series of words, and after “FREIGHT CAR”, he knows his mission is to kill the Prime Minister of Sokovia. But first, he’ll settle down and love Monica unconditionally (again, FOREVER), calling her Mommy and making me shit my pants in fear. IT WASN’T ME, IT WAS FUCKING DAVID

Oh, and by the way, isn’t it kinda shitty to do that without Henry being involved AT ALL? Like, cool, he has unconditional maternal love, but Henry wasn’t a part of that conditioning at all! And he still refers to him as “Henry” instead of Dad! However, Henry definitely doesn’t care about that, because he still sees David as only a robot. Hey, guys, maybe using these two as your first experiment with a robot child WAS A TERRIBLE FUCKING IDEA, YOU IDIOTS! No wonder William Hurt was cast as Thunderbolt Ross in the MCU. Already shown he can play a character with shitty ideas before.

Anyway, after this terrible series of events, David prevents the parents from leaving one night due to his childlike antics. When Monica goes to comfort him, he asks how long she’ll live, and tells her that he hope she never dies, a COMPLETELY NORMAL THING TO SAY. Look, I get that he’s a robot, but only a goddamn emotionless sociopath would program emotional responses like this into a robot. Which, given what we’ve seen of Hobby, makes sense.

In response, she gives him Teddy (Jack Angel), a technologically advanced teddy bear with sentience, a personality, and the voice of Astrotrain from The Transformers TV series. Because, yes, I am THAT MUCH of a goddamn nerd.

Soon after, the house gets a phone call, which David receives...literally. He takes the phone and allows it to speak through him. It turns out that, shock beyond shocks, THEIR SON IS CURED! Yeah, fuck. Maybe giving David to a family with a STILL LIVING SON is a fucking ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE IDEA, for about a thousand reasons.

And, fucking understandably, Martin Swinton (Jake Thomas) is a little upset to find out that he’s essentially been replaced by a robot kid. Although, to be fair, he’s also kind of a dick to David, holding his humanity over him and treating him as a toy that he attempts to manipulate and bully. My Lord, this is a massively stupid idea. And Martin immediately shows his dickishness by asking his mother to read Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio to them. Which is meant to be a punishment for Pinocchio. However, of course, David loves it.

Still, however, there’s trouble in paradise for David, as he tries to compete with Martin for being a real boy, and eats spinach at dinner one evening. Despite Teddy’s mildly ominous warning to him (”YOU WILL BREAK”), he keeps eating until he basically has a stroke and breaks, forcing him to be repaired by some of Cybertronics’ technicians. Monica has a bit of a break down as a result, which Martin notices. This causes Martin to go pure supervillain, manipulating David to do creepy things in order to insert doubt into Monica about David. Jesus, Martin’s a creepy kid, too. No wonder Monica grew to be cool with David, her actual son is a FUCKING SOCIOPATHIC MONSTER! Are there ANY truly normal people in this world? IS THIS WHAT THE FUTURE IS?

Martin convinces David to cut a lock of Monica’s hair while she’s sleeping. And lemme tell ya, a little boy holding scissors over someone while they sleep is not exactly comforting. Henry agrees, and after stopping him, believes that they need to return him. Monica disagrees, knowing that they’ll destroy him if brought back. But David, ever the semi-sociopath himself, ignores any signs of humanity in David and dismisses Monica's feelings for him entirely. He also says this thing about “IF HE CAN BE PROGRAMMED TO LOVE, CAN NOT HE BE PROGRAMM-ED TO HATE?”, which...no. No, he cannot. He didn’t learn to love, he was programmed to. And, again, that’s ethically FUCKED, but taking that into account...no. HE WASN’T PROGRAMMED TO HATE, HENRY. Goddamn, buddy, use your head here.

It’s Martin’s birthday, and his friends at the pool party expose David to the fun world of anti-robot (or Mecha) racism, and test to see if he has Damage Avoidance Systems by threatening him with a knife. And he does. Buuut, when those systems kick in, he goes to the nearest point of safety to keep himself safe. That point is, unfortunately, Martin, whom he gets behind...and accidentally drags into the pool.

Thing is, because of Martin’s recent illness, he can’t exactly swim, meaning that David almost drowns him. When Henry and other partygoers go to save him, they abandon David in the pool completely. And now, David’s fucked. Because although this situation isn’t even a little bit his fault, he also just nearly killed Martin. And so, after seeing notes that he’s been writing to her, Monica offers to take for a “ride in the country”. Which definitely means something good. In reality, she’s planning on taking him back to Cybertronics. But once in the car, there’s a change in plans. And hear me out...it’s arguably far more horrifying.

She decides to abandon him in the woods completely, despite how hard it is for her to leave him. She’s sparing him from death, sure, but also throwing him into a world he doesn’t understand, and for reasons that he doesn’t understand. It’s genuinely terrible. And then...yeah, she leaves him forever, to an uncertain future.

End Act One.

I think this is a good place to stop. It’s early, and I need more coffee to handle this shit. See you in Part Two. Of Three. Yup. It’s a long one.

This is obviously not a comprehensive list, it's just a general vision and a lot was left out otherwise I'd spend all day here, LOL! Also, keep in mind when you asked me for music and artists I enjoy, I only took music in consideration, not the artist as a person.

As for OST's, you can't go wrong with Disney songs. And I don't know if this is the nostalgia talking, but I'm very fond of Inuyasha's, it's fucking beautiful! The Greatest Showman's is another one I listen to on the regular. But so far, my all time favorite remains Anastasia's.

#Thank you for asking #Sidmailing
