Apple pies and sportscandy (Sportacus x reader) - Chapter 1/?

"As the wind started to blow the cold air into my face, I decided to retreat back into my new place. A couch with some cup noodles and a silly tv show was waiting for me. In the comfort of a fuzzy blanket while slurping up noodles, I wondered what my time in LazyTown would bring me. What kind of new adventures were waiting for me? Would the people in town like me?"

Reader has had enough and decides to move to LazyTown to take over the old closed down bakery. A zeppelin catches her eye on the the first night, but what if its owner does more than just catch her eye?

Warnings: in this chapter there is a mention of bullying, but only for plot reasons for a short time

Please enjoy this very much self indulgent multi chapter fic! :D

The first time I heard of this town, I was confused. Barely any people living in there, why would anyone move there? The city is so much better!

The second time I heard of this town, I had just finished a terrible day at the office and wanted to hide forever. There was just something so terrible about bullying, a thing that should have been left behind in middle school.

The third time I heard of this town, I decided to call it quits. It was one “prank” too much, one mean comment too much. The 2 week notice was more of a 2 minute notice, and with tears streaming down my face, I sat in the bus. The world seemed grey and the people around me frozen. On one stop, a man dropped his newspaper as he left and didn’t bother to pick it up. That’s what I did, and an ad caught my eye.

“Baker wanted - Starting point as soon as possible. Call Bessie Busybody for more information.”, and her phone number was added.

A few phone calls later, I sat in the train heading towards LazyTown.

I managed to cancel my lease rather quickly as the landlord already had a different person in their eye, someone whose rent they could charge up. Within days, I had everything packed, just two suitcases full of my stuff. I never needed more, as the apartment hadn’t felt like a home but just a place to stay in. And the rent in LazyTown wasn’t high, so maybe my bank account could relax for once.

The further I got away from the city, the more colour seemed to paint the landscape. The trees weren’t grey, if one looked left and right they saw mountains and sometimes even animals, not only the walls of yet another building. It felt like I could breathe for the first time in months, if not years. The train was nearly empty apart from two other people, but at the station LazyTown, I was the only one to leave. And it was true - there was no smog, the light wasn’t coming from street lamps but from the sun actually making its way to the surface, and somewhere, there were children playing without the fear of being run over by a reckless driver.

“There you are darling!”, I recognized the voice from the many phone calls we shared - it was Bessie! I turned around and we greeted each other, a kiss on the left cheek, a kiss on the right cheek. “Welcome to LazyTown! I am sure you’ll love it here! Oh, let me show you your new place right now! Are these suitcases yours? Let me help you…”

A short drive later, we were at my new place. The apartment was above the old bakery. Bessie had filled me in on the details - the old owner passed away many years ago, and nobody had bothered to fill in his role, so the building had been vacant ever since. I had some baking skills from back in the day before office work was paying more money, or at least I thought it’d get me more money. Instead, all it gave me was a stomach ulcer.

Prior to my arrival, Bessie had taken it upon herself to clean the apartment a bit, at least clean enough to make sure no spiders would cozy up to me in bed. Which was…not really a comforting thought, but Bessie assured that the only spiders they had in town were these tiny jumping spiders. Tomorrow, we’d check out the bakery together for things I could still use and which needed to be replaced. The mayor had promised to come up for most of the replacements, something I’d need to thank him for as soon as I would see him.

But on this very day? All I wanted was to get a few things put up in my new home, and get some rest. Traveling by train always made me tired, and this whole day was one constant source of nervousness and anxiety running free.

Bessie left me to my own devices an hour later after helping me put my suitcases up into the 2nd floor where the apartment was. A few things were set up, such as putting new sheets on the bed and getting some groceries into the fridge, I was thankful for Bessie’s help, but she had to leave as she needed to attend super important meetings.

The sun was slowly setting, I stood in front of the bakery, taking in the first evening in my new home town. The birds chirped in the distance, some bugs were flying around. Speaking of flying around, I had spotted a zeppelin earlier today, but forgot to ask Bessie about it.

As the wind started to blow the cold air into my face, I decided to retreat back into my new place. A couch with some cup noodles and a silly tv show was waiting for me. In the comfort of a fuzzy blanket while slurping up noodles, I wondered what my time in LazyTown would bring me. What kind of new adventures were waiting for me? Would the people in town like me?

All the thoughts and the day in general had made me exhausted, so I threw the blanket off, put the empty cup into the bin and the chopsticks into the dishwasher, and myself right into bed.

From my bed, I had a clear view through a window. I hadn’t bothered to close the curtains, but from this point of view, I was able to see the zeppelin again. A faint light was coming from there, which left me wondering - was someone living there? In the sky above LazyTown, watching over its people and whatever would come their way?

I soon drifted off into the most peaceful sleep in years, and I was not awoke by the sound of loud spinning tyres or a police car racing through the streets. It was just me and the sound of animals roaming through the streets of LazyTown, and I couldn’t wish for a better sound to fall asleep to.

Pixel TV (prod 212)

Original airdate: February 15, 2007

Story by Magnus Scheving

Written by Noah Zachary, Mani Svavarrson, Magnus Scheving

Directed by Jonathan Judge

Executive producers - Magnus Scheving, Ragnheidur Melsted, Raymond P. Le Gue, Mark Read, Brown Johnson, Kay Wilson Stallings

Starring Magnus Scheving, Stefan Karl Steffanson, Julianna Rose Mauriello

Puppeteers - Gudmondor Thor Karason, Jodi Eichelberger, David Matthew Feldman, Julie Westwood, Sarah Burgess

If someone randomly asked me to name the ninth episode of season two of LazyTown, it'd take me forever to remember what it was. So, Pixel TV is pretty much unknown to me.

The episode begins with Sportacus going to his screen, and Pixel is on his screen, telling him he's live in four seconds. Sportacus tells the camera that LazyTown is always moving and so are we. Then he does a buncha cool moves.

In his house, Pixel is managing his antenna and is talking to the LazyTown people on his TV screens. He's set up a LazyTown TV channel with good moves, good food and go, go, go! Stephanie will be doing Sportscandy, Bessie and Milford will be doing news, Ziggy and Stingy will be doing their cooking show (probably the funniest segment), and Trixie's doing a talk show (that's why she called Loud Girl).

Everyone has LazyTown TV, even Robbie, and for some reason, the LazyTown theme song plays on his television. He changes to Bing Bang, he changes to Sportacus eating, he changes to Pixel. And at the end of it all, he says.. 'they have their own TV show?!' and doesn't he know it.

Robbie decides if they can have their own TV shows, he can too - since he's handsome, talented and smart. If you're so smart, try actually coming up with a plan that works. Anyways, he has a mini TV that fits on his arm, and now it's time for Stephanie's show. He says he needs a disguise and goes to.. an empty purple box. It makes more sense when you see all his disguises being dropped via a chute.

Colours is performed, and that song really annoys me because mid-way through there is a random cut to Sportacus. I am all for Sportacus scenes, but I'm also all for LazyTown songs. During the song, Robbie steals almost all her Sportscandy, leaving one strawberry. LOL.

Due to that, she cannot make her Sportscandy Rainbow Smoothie (for some reason she keeps on breathing during every word. Sportscandy *sigh* rainbow smoothie.) & Pixel is going to switch to the news so he gets into his Rob R. Robley costume.

When Stephanie turns the camera on (she films and and has her own TV show.. remind you of a blue elf?), Milford doesn't talk. Pixel tells him to go. He asks, 'Go where?' 'You're on!' 'On where?' Haha. I love this season. Then Stephanie tells him the camera is on and to start reading the LazyTown Good News - Three butterflies on the sports field, and new flowers. This town would be so peaceful if it wasn't for Robbie. Speaking of Rob, he shows up with a fan, that blows away his wig and notes.

It's even funnier when you think that someone who was helping write this episode (I'm guessing Mani) said 'Let's give Milford a wig purely to blow it off.' XD! Now, Robley takes his place (Bessie is visibly angry, showing that she doesn't like him purely to use him).

So he announces a buncha lies - Sports Candy makes you sick and all sports has been outlawed forever. By Pixel's request, Stephanie switches over to Bessie's weather show. But Rob takes that pole thingy Bessie's holding and grabs it so hard she falls.

Rob says 'let's take a look at the weather' & signals for Stephanie to pan the camera up. Once she does, he says 'let's take a look at the weather' once again. WHY IS THIS FUNNY? WHY IS STEFAN SO FUNNY?? He takes off the birds, suns, clouds & adds a bunch of storm and rain, telling everyone it's too dangerous to go outside so they must stay inside doing nothing. Now Trixie's doing her yap show.

She's supposed to have a guest, but doesn't then she starts yelling at Pixel about how she needs a guest. Considering the fact he set up an entire TV channel, I think his brain can comprehend it, Loud Girl. Robbie disguises himself as her guest - some apparently famous dude called Purple Legend. Trixie yells at Pixel as he told her they were gonna have interesting guests (PL got steamrolled!), and PL says he eats ice-cream, cookies and candy all day, sleeps till noon, and Trixie says those are both boring. So, PL jumps on the chair out of anger! LOL!!

Trixie says if he's so interesting, he should do something like sing or juggle or DANCE, and he decides to do some weird Irish leg dance or something. Trixie is laughing. LITERALLY.

PL purposefully bumps into the camera, ending the show since the camera broke. And they switch over to Ziggy & Stingy's cooking show, but for some reason, Stingy can't say anything. He tells Ziggy to introduce the show, which he does. They are going to make a castle with apples, and Stingy tells us the ingredients are apples (WOWZA!), 50 of them. Ziggy corrects him by saying fourty-nine since he's eaten one. But they're interrupted by Chef Robert, who cancels them both.

And he is making the most delicious food in history of food - the sugar candy chocolate candy ice-cream gooey-ooey yummy cake. The ingredients - 2 bars of chocolate, a ridiculously excessive amount of sugar, and the candy. The worst part is that he doesn't even take the wrappers off the chocolate bar, or the lollipops off their sticks. Ziggy says it looks delicious but unhealthy.

Robert asks if he's a chef who went to cooking school wearing a big white hat. The answer is of course, no, and he yells at him to go away. The next step is to put the mix in the fridge, but he steps on an apple he threw on the ground, slips and falls, and now the mix is on his head. Slapstick moment.

Anyways, Steph and Trixie managed to get the camera up and running, and now comes the best of all - Bessie's puppet show. I'm being sarcastic, this sucks.

(During it, Pixel complains since this is being broadcast worldwide.) Robbie sees the puppet show, and he says 'Puppets, now they've gone too far!' LOL. He decides now he has to stop the TV station once and for all, and he does that.. with a gorilla outfit. And the way he does it? Instead of scaring him into stopping it, he CLIMBS UP PIXEL'S ANTENNA AND SHAKES IT.

The TV's now all glitchy and stuff, but he shakes too hard and almost falls down. Luckily, Sportacus appears (where ya been dude?) to save the gorilla. Milford is going live with LazyTown Good News. This is sure to make headlines! Milford asks the gorilla what he's doing up there, and he RESPONDS with 'I'm breaking this antenna forever!' But when he falls, Sportacus attaches a hook to Pixel's roof, causing it to open so the gorilla lands in his house. Once he does, the head falls off, and it's revealed that Robbie was doing all this nonsense instead of .. just.. not watching TV.

It turns out well in the end as Milford tells everyone it's just Robbie, Sportacus goes back, & Stingy films Steph doing the Bing Bang. No Sportacus power jump unfortunately. In the lair, Robbie is attempting to forget about the day with ice-cream, but a news report about the day is played on the channel.

And he yells. THE END!

8/10 - Great plot, funny dialogue!

Lazytown Shenanigans Pt. 7

I was too lazy and tired to make a post yesterday, so this time I have to talk about three episodes in a row: "Time to Learn," "Let's Go to the Moon," and "Robbie's Dream Team." And, therefore, this rambling is going to be the longest one in this series so far. I mean, THE LO-O-ONGEST one (you have been warned guys) 💀

Also I didn't take any screenshots from the "Time to Learn" episode and there are very few of the other two, so please accept my apologies in advance!!

It's very doubtful that someone will read it till the very end, but let's begin, I guess 😭

"Time to Learn."

I can't say that this episode was very interesting, at least compared to other ones that will be mentioned in this post very soon, but there were some amusing and cute moments. Maybe that's because I was tired once again while I was watching it, but whatever

The episode started with Robbie rambling about Sportacus, as usual 🤭. But anyway, this is not the most important part of that scene; I have some other things to say about it

First of all. In some previous posts I declared that Robbie is a fucking genius, which is true in my opinion, but omg. Bro is kinda stupid in terms of school subjects, such as math, for example. Not blaming him in any way, I sucked at math as well when I studied in school, but this somehow doesn't fit in with the fact that he can build such complex and knowledge-intensive mechanisms... Bro is stupid, but not completely I guess 😭

Second of all, it was kinda amusing to me that Stephanie didn't notice all those silly scribbles of Sportacus at all. She just looked at the blackboard and was like, "OMG ROBBIE YOU'RE DOIN' MATH THAT'S SO COOL." Girl look at those drawings, why don't you pay any attention to it 🙄

And third of all, I can't help but say that it was so freaking adorable that Stephanie took her time to help Robbie with math, and he was actually listening to her. Family bonding 🥹

But enough of that silly scene. I was somewhat surprised that Robbie didn't end up at least in the top five of the best antagonists; I mean, have you even seen what he's able to create using only improvised materials? Have you even known that he makes all that shit on his own and has no assistants at all? Even though his plans don't work out all the time, he's definitely not the worst, but not the best antagonist either. And I don't even want to hear anything about graduation from school (because of the lack of that, he was identified as the worst antagonist). He's pretty good at his occupation even without it

I've gotten too defensive, so let us continue. Being a pretty big fan of the NatM movie franchise as well, I was SO HAPPY to hear Amelia Earhart's name in this episode (she was in the second NatM movie). When Bessie asked kids about the first woman who flew across the Atlantic Ocean, I was like "OH SHIT I KNOW I KNOW WHO THAT WAS-"

Also I think that I remember the song from that episode. I have a vague memory of hearing that song in Russian dubbing when I was a kid, so that was a very nice experience 🥺

Some words about the funny thing. It cracked me up when Robbie loosened the fastenings at the door and MEANSWELL ACCIDENTALLY BLEW THE FUCK OFF THAT MISERABLE DOOR AND LANDED HIS HEAD IN AN IRON BUCKET. I LITERALLY CHOKED ON THE AIR WHEN I SAW IT 😭😭

Since I mentioned Robbie, let's talk about him once again (I'll never get tired of talking about my favorite dorks)

I will not leave unvoiced the fact that Robbie ALMOST ate at least one Sportscandy — a banana, in this case. HE ALMOST DID IT. GOOD FOR HIM!! And one little detail from that scene: it was Ziggy who shared that banana with him. This once again confirms that Ziggy is the best kid ever; he's not sorry to share something with other people at all, whether it's his favorite sweets or Sportscandy 🥺

And now for my favorite part... ;]

This was kind of one of those episodes in which Robbie didn't act that mean towards Sportacus (let's forget about the very beginning of the episode because it's not that significant). He was even too excited to ask him some questions when Sportacus visited them to save Meanswell, and as far as I understood he had quite a lot of questions (and who's the main Sport's fan here now? /j), but the opportunity to ask him anything was given to Ziggy. Robbie was somewhat frustrated :(

Plus Robbie genuinely thanked him when he was saved, and it seemed to me that there was no falsehood at all; he wasn't annoyed or anything like that, at least, and for once he was pretty happy to be saved 🥺

The last thing that I'll mention about this episode is that I felt pretty bad for Stephanie when she didn't pass the final exam because of Robbie, while all of her friends succeeded in that. That was quite cruel on his part, stealing her answers from her and changing them to his own; like dude, she literally helped you that morning.. I hate to see when nice characters are crying, poor girl :(

Ok, now let's move on to the next episode,

"Let's Go to the Moon."

That episode was something. I mean it in the sense that this episode probably has one of the most beautiful views and landscapes; I should also point out that I'm a complete sucker for all those space-related things (my love for "Guardians of the Galaxy" can prove it very well), so that episode was a real eye-candy for me

I mean, just look at this:

PURPLE LIGHTING. SPACE. STARS. 😭

This episode is very well done, and when I say "very well done" I really mean it

But enough of my drooling over the episodes' appearance, let's touch on the topics of the plot and some moments from there!!

I was fucking shocked when I saw that there was a WHOLE UNDERGROUND GARAGE WITH A ROCKET in the yard of Pixel's house. How... How is this kid still not part of some super-fancy university for prodigies? I doubt that someone helped him build all that shit, so apparently he did it all by himself. Wow 💀

And the scene in which Bessie and Milford thought that kids are just playing and it's not real killed me fr; like, no, my darlings, they are actually going to the fucking moon 😭

I was somewhat amused by the fact that Robbie was so fed up with the kids' games and fuss that he literally decided to leave the earth and rest on the moon. Gosh, just let the dude rest properly for once; he's an old man, after all, and he really needs some quiet at times... /hj

And even then the kids didn't let him rest. They literally went to the moon right after him (just for funsies), started to dance and play, and then met Robbie and thought that he was an alien. Ziggy was the very first one to stumble upon him:

And Ziggy was pretty startled to see a supposed alien, which quite confused me. Wasn't he the one who wanted to make friends with an alien in the "Ziggy's Alien" episode and wasn't scared of Robbie disguised as an alien at all?.. The boy changed his mind apparently 🙄

And since we're talking about fears and all this shit, it was a somewhat sad sight to see a scared Robbie. The man was afraid that he would be left completely alone on the moon without any chance to come back home because his spaceship was somehow broken. I understand his fear, but I think there was no great reason to be that afraid; Sportacus' gadgets would've sooner or later given a signal that someone was in trouble, and therefore he could've counted on salvation :]

Also. A small detail that made me smile like a dork. Robbie laid down to sleep in the crater with Sportacus' apple laying in it (in the very beginning of the episode he threw an apple there with a baseball bat). My brain goes fuzzy and my chest goes warm 🥹💜

In the final part of the rambling about this episode, I would like to point out that I didn't quite understand the behavior of the kids at the end of the episode; they were indignant because of Robbie's appearance, but WHY?? He literally didn't do anything wrong in this episode, he just wanted to rest and, a little later, wanted to go home. Why are they so mean to him without any significant reason; don't judge him for nothing, or just leave him be, at least 😭

In general, this episode looked very beautiful, and I can say that this is probably one of my favorite episodes so far. Not because of the characters' interactions, not because of my beloved dorks, but just because this episode looks absolutely amazing :]

Now for the most delicious part of this post,

"Robbie's Dream Team."

OH MY GOD YES. THIS ONE. ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC EPISODES IN THIS SHOW. I FUCKING LOVED IT BECAUSE OF A LOT OF THINGS 👊👊

But let's calm down for a minute and talk about everything in order...

I won't keep quiet about that scene in which Sportacus balanced on two basketballs while standing on one hand... How. How does he even do that. I was literally sitting there with my mouth wide open; I don't know, maybe there was some trick with those basketballs, and they were kinda attached to the floor, because I don't quite believe that he was able to do it without those basketballs rolling away. That man literally consists of a bunch of talents; seriously, he's amazing 😭

Not far from the topic of my favorite dorks: this was another episode in which Robbie once again spends all his time and efforts on catching Sportacus. This one was almost entirely dedicated to his futile attempts to catch him, but the funny part is that bro didn't even know why exactly he needed to catch Sportacus in the first place; initially his main goal was just catching and kidnapping him. For no reason. Robbie came up with the plan of getting rid of him only when he finally caught him 🤭

And his frustrated "How does he always do that??! :(" when Sportacus didn't end up in his trap once again was so fucking amusing; I dunno buddy, maybe that's because that trap was too small? 😭

By the way, in this episode he attempted to catch Sportacus three times (at least I was able to count this number of attempts): the first one in the beginning with a trap in the ground, the second one with a cage that was attached to the tree, and the third, successful one. He was really dedicated in that episode, as I see 😏

Maybe that's a little off topic, but it was also the fourth episode in the whole season (I've watched five episodes from this season so far, just for reference) in which he tries, or at least intends, to feed Sportacus a sugar apple. Apparently bro realized that this was the most effective and fail-safe remedy against him

Also, just take a look at this pathetic creature. And this is your so-called "master of disguise" 😭 /j

Ok but whatever. Let's move on and talk about the second attempt at catching Sportacus; there were some amusing moments as well 😈

This time the kids, Stephanie and Stingy, were spying on him, and they saw the final stage of setting up the trap. You know guys, in some of my previous posts I joked that Robbie's behavior towards Sportacus is kinda suspicious, AND, WELL, I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT STINGY WILL LITERALLY VOICE MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT BECAUSE HE LITERALLY SAID, "Hmm there's suspicious behavior" 😭😭

(I know I misinterpreted that phrase but let me be. I just thought that was too funny and I actually laughed like crazy when i heard that 💀)

And I should admit that it was kinda nice to see that kids wanted to help him, because, well, they didn't know Robbie's true intentions since he lied to them. They know that he's a villain, and they probably shouldn't take part in catching someone for him, but they still suggested some help 🥺

Speaking of the kids, it was one of the few episodes in which Stingy was pretty tolerable in my opinion. He didn't do anything selfish or bad, which quite surprised me, and I didn't feel any annoyance because of him. Enemies to lovers trop? /jj

Finally. Now we're going to talk about the most important part of this episode — something that made this episode iconic throughout the show and in meme culture: THE ROBBIE'S GANG.

OH MY FUCKING GOD, HOW MUCH I LIKED THOSE DORKS. Unfortunately I didn't remember each of them by name (I have a very bad memory), but I remember that in general their names were Bobby, Tobby, and Flobby. I really liked them and the way they look, and I mean it genuinely. And now I really want to read some fics that include them because they are so precious 🥺

One of them kinda reminded me of an Oompa-Loompa from Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," but we won't talk about it 😭

AND THE SONG. THE SONG. "WE ARE NUMBER ONE" WAS A BIG PART OF MY CHILDHOOD BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY POPULAR MEME BACK THEN. THE FEELING OF NOSTALGIA THAT SONG GAVE ME WAS INDESCRIBABLE AND I FUCKING LIVE FOR IT. But seriously, the melody and the instrumental accompaniment were very catchy; it's a top-tier song in the whole show imo and I won't shut up about how much I love it

Speaking of nostalgia, this episode in general was pretty nostalgic to me, because I have a weird vague feeling that I've seen this episode on some sunny spring morning when I was like, nine or ten years old?? What I'm trying to say is that while I was watching this episode, I had a small feeling like I watched it once before going to school, but I don't remember it; I just feel it. If it makes any sense 😭

But fine, let's move on. It seemed pretty cute to me that after Stephanie and Stingy helped Sportacus get over his sugar meltdown, he BECAME FRIENDS WITH ROBBIE'S GANG. They were all so happy to play together in the lair and on the sports field, since, well, they literally said that they didn't want to become villains. I'm literally smiling right now while writing it because IT'S SO CUTE OMG 🥺

The last thing that I'll mention, or, to be more precise, show, is this scene

Yeah like. I get you dude; it's always nice to watch pretty men sleeping 🤭 (i mean Sportacus wasn't sleeping but was feeling pretty shitty because of his sugar meltdown but let's put all the details aside 💀)

In conclusion, this episode is definitely and undoubtedly one of my favorites. Some of the reasons for that are the nostalgia factor and the presence of some new characters. Oh and the badass song, of course

OK SO THAT IS THE END OF THIS POST, FINALLY. I know for sure that most people won't read it till the end, but I have completed my own mission: to put all my thoughts in order. But if someone actually took their time to read it all, then, guys, I can't say anything less than you are the best. /gen

I spent 4 hours writing all this shit, so it means so very much to me that someone read it till the end!! Thank you genuinely and have a good day, your attention is very-very-very appreciated :) 💜

First of all I LOVED your drabble it was adorable (and totally fits with my own ideas about T4T Sportarobbie too!!)

Second, could I send a prompt? Nonbinary Robbie, wearing makeup for the first time outside of a disguise and being nervous about it. Sportacus has lots of compliments and the kids think it's super cool. Either established relationship or cute get-together

Super bonus if Glanni helps Robbie do his makeup and gives him a pep talk about being fabulous because he wears makeup all the time

Of course! I’m always open to prompts (although sometimes they take me a minute). So for this I use he/they pronouns for Robbie pretty interchangeably. Thanks for reading!

It’s hard being a weirdo in a place with a bunch of normal people. Robbie knew that better than most. That was why he moved to Lazytown. They weren’t the most normal bunch, so they weren’t too judgmental either. If Sportacus could show his elven abilities without judgement, then a little gender nonconformity didn’t seem too bad at all.

But it was still nerve wracking. Disguises were easier. It was easier to put on makeup and skirts when he was being a woman. Just being himself? That was much more revealing. More frightening. The kids could see Miss Roberta in makeup. But if they saw Robbie like that… what would they say?

Robbie swallowed, looking into the mirror. They couldn’t help the smile that spread across their face each time they saw their own reflection. Dark purple eyeshadow and think eyeliner really made his eyes pop. He had considered some eyeshadow with glitter in it, but while he liked the look, he hated the feeling of it. Dark mascara made his lashes fuller and longer. And a dark pinkish red lipstick finished the look.

They sent a picture to his brother for a reaction. Glanni sent back a string of emojis that Robbie didn’t exactly know what to make of. But he knew they were complimentary at least. Glanni was never the best with advice or support, but it was a relief to have his approval anyways.

Robbie left their lair with a deep breath. Groceries. He would go get some groceries and then they’d come back and everything would be fine. There wouldn’t be a mob. He was already flamboyant and he hadn’t been beaten up or called any slurs yet. It would be fine. He just had to keep telling himself that.

“Robbie Rotten!” Ziggy exclaimed.

He cringed. It hadn’t even been five minutes out of the house and they were already being accosted. He could pretend that he didn’t hear the brat…

“Robbie! Come play a game with us!” Stephanie called. She ran up to him and started pulling on his sleeve. She stopped, blinking up at him with wide eyes. “Whoa… are you wearing makeup?” She asked excitedly. “It looks so good! Could you teach me how to do eyeliner like that?” She babbled.

Robbie felt their face flush underneath the blush he had used on his cheeks. “I uh… maybe?” They said awkwardly. Before they realized what was happening, Stephanie had grabbed him and was pulling him over to where the rest of the group had a deck of cards on a picnic table. Sportacus sat at the end in a chair they had brought over from somewhere else.

As Robbie approached, the kids all began complimenting his makeup. Stingy and Stephanie asking for tips, Ziggy shyly saying he might want to try it himself sometime, and Pixel and Trixie appreciating the colors. All of them were speaking a mile a minute except for…

Sportacus was silent. His cheeks were a shade darker than they normally were. His mouth was slightly agape. He was staring at Robbie. Robbie squirmed under the intense scrutiny.

“Well uh this was nice and not embarrassing at all, but I gotta go–“ Robbie turned around.

“You look really pretty!” Sportacus blurted out.

Robbie paused, slowly turning back to the group. Trixie snickered loudly at the elf’s outburst. Sportacus’ face had grown another shade redder. “Handsome.” Sportacus corrected himself. “Er… attractive?”

Robbie quirked a brow. “I’ll accept any of the three.” He said hesitantly. “As long as you mean it.”

“Look at his face, Robbie.” Trixie said with a snort. “It’s redder than your lipstick.”

Robbie couldn’t help it. There was a chance for mischief here and by god they were going to take it. “Why are you blushing so much? Embarrassed that you think I’m pretty?” Robbie asked, sauntering over to where Sportacus was sitting. Sportacus shook his head, his lips clamped tightly shut.

“Cat got your tongue?” Robbie asked with a cheeky smile, grabbing the elf’s chin.

“No, I–“

Robbie interrupted him, leaning down and pressing a kiss to his cheek. “Come by later and I’ll get you some makeup remover.” He whispered, backing away from the elf and leaving to go do his errands. Robbie now felt much more confident and had a pep in their step that people rarely saw.

The kids giggled and laughed around the table, watching the dumbstruck Sportacus. “Hey uh… Sportacus?” Pixel finally spoke up.

“Yes?” Sportacus asked, seemingly snapping out of the daze he was in.

“You uh… got a little something on your cheek.” Pixel pointed to his own cheek, mirroring where the large lipstick stain was on Sportacus’ cheek. The rest of the kids laughed loudly.

But Sportacus couldn’t bring himself to care. Robbie looked so good and… happy walking away. It was well worth a little embarrassment. And well… Robbie was willing to share some makeup remover.

It's been 5 years since this blog was created✨!!!

Today, on the 7th of October 2023 marks the 5 year anniversary of this blog, I didn't even know that it's been that long, somehow feels both longer and shorter than I had in mind!

800+ posts have been created from that point onwards!

I decided to take this moment to talk about the blog since I usually avoid talking or really rambling on here since I'd rather focus on Stefán Karl but this seems like a special enough occasion to break that rule, at least for today :)

So keep reading for a whole lot of that, and fair warning, it does get very sappy :,)

But Why did I start this blog? Well the main reason has always been to archive as much as I can of Stefán Karl but why did I come to that decision? I wonder that at times too but I think it very much has to do with how life changing it was to be introduced to this great human.

I always regret never knowing about him before October 2016 but at the same time, better late than never, right? Before that moment I was extremely depressed and I still deal with depression but thinking about him, reading about him and just seeing him has helped me deal with those feelings and thanks to him I've been introduced to my best friends! @smartsmjatt @fantasyrat @iedasb @theabstractwoman 💜

Before, I've always wished for a single friend as I was incredibly lonely before but now I couldn't be anymore grateful for the people I know thanks to him, he indirectly introduced me to them and many more :,)

Those are the two things I'm most grateful for from knowing him but also just giving me someone to see as a role model, someone that can bring me comfort. Originally, I had this idea a long time ago and was going to make it about Lazytown in general, archiving content related to Lazytown and the people who worked on it.

But as time went on and I knew that I wanted to focus on Stefán more than anyone else and it felt like the right choice to make the idea dedicated to him, especially after the 21st of August 2018.

After a long time of grief, this blog allowed me a way to keep his memory alive.

I wanted people to know just about everything that he has provided to the world and know just what made him so great. So many of the things I have on the blog took so long to find and I want them to be more accessible to anyone who wants to know more about him.

That's something I always say a lot whenever I talk to people on the blog and at the same time, this blog made me love him even more as I started learning more and more about him, before that I was mostly saving what I see of him without much context on what it was until I cared more and more about him that it felt right to understand him on a deeper level.

A good part of that was also thanks to @smartsmjatt who helped me archive so many important things with him and was the first person I got to talk to about him in great depth. She's also the first person to come with me to Iceland as she has been there before as well.

I also want to thank anyone else who had helped me on this blog, any contributions from content, correcting language mistakes or information and anyone who has encourged me to keep on going with the blog through their support!

A thank you goes to @theabstractwoman for helping me with so much regarding his role as the Grinch! Which also reminds me of Discomoondust's contributions! And just about anyone else, be it big or small!

And most importantly, a thank you for his family, friends and fans. To those who shared videos and photos and so much more for people see. 💖💕

Here's to another 5 more years 🥂✨

Ugh I keep finding things online that remind me of my ex-fiancé and I’m like “oh I gotta send this to him, he’ll love it!!” and then I remember that he doesn’t wanna hear from me and it’s like oh yeah

Like we had a MLP AU we rped once where Pinkie Pie was a Draconequus and I found this amazing piece of Draconequus Pinkie on Facebook

Like this is just perfect! Ugh. (I wish I knew the original artist, but it was a reposting page that I saw it on and they didn’t credit the artist)

Even eating an apple today bummed me out bc we met through the LazyTown fandom and it reminded me of him. How am I gonna be bummed out by a freaking apple? 😩

It’s so hard. I miss him like crazy.

But I gotta figure myself out now. One of the reasons he left me is that my behavior has gotten very weird over the last few months. I’m pretty sure it’s either my empty sella syndrome acting up, or I have a prolactinoma that needs addressing. I see an endocrinologist later this month, so he’ll probably suggest I get another MRI to figure that nonsense out. I’m ready to feel normal again. Being so out of control has been really scary. And having my fiancé leave me during such a scary time in my life hasn’t really helped.

Until then, my psychiatrist wants me to find a new therapist since mine doesn’t take COBRA insurance. He wants me to see the new one at least twice before I see him next month. Just gotta figure out which one from the list I have is who I wanna see.

I gotta get better for me, first and foremost. I can’t use my ex-fiancé as a motivator anymore. This all has to be for me and the people who love me. I’ll fight through this. One day at a time.

Hey not trying to be rude (really!) but it looks like you're into other things now... and I want to know if you ever plan on finishing your lazytown fics?

A fair question - I haven't posted anything related to LazyTown or updated any of my long standing fics in a minute 😅 to say the least.

I don't know if I would say I'm done with LazyTown in any sense though, despite the fact that I now post almost exclusively about star wars. I mean, LazyTown was the show and fandom that quite literally saved my life - and it was the reason I met my gf of nearly 6 years now (and future wife uwu), so it's always gonna have a special place in my heart.

Anyway, the "short" answer to your question is:

... the long answer though?

Probably not anytime soon. Probably.

It's not necessarily from a lack of interest, it's just that... I'm an adult™️, an adult with adult responsibilities that take a lot of my time, as well as an adult who is in a very fulfilling relationship. Whenever I have free time, I'm usually spending it either recovering from some bs at work or I'm spending it with my lady. Very little time for something as time consuming at writing.

That, and I haven't been in the best of health. Had a stress episode mid-2022 that has caused me to have long-term physical side effects that make me exhausted and mentally distant far more than not. I've recently started some medication that should help, and have so far.

I want to write. Don't go assuming that I've lost all interest in that. And there are a lot of projects, old and new, that I still very much want to work on.

Sunflowers on Purple Cake has only 2 more planned chapters - one full chapter, as well as an 'epilogue' of sorts. That absolutely will be finished because it's so fucking close to being done and it will bother me to no end if I leave it where it is now.

Lazyrinth though...

I gotta give you some backstory first.

The entire reason I wrote Lazyrinth was to impress my gf. I think it was something she had joked about, and my little gay-ass was all like "I could do it!" because I had it bad... and I mean, it worked. How could she resist me after I did something so crazy? lol.

I spent the time between our interactions writing it for her because I loved watching her read it when we were together (well, together in the sense of being together in a voice call, as we started our relationship over 2000 miles apart). It was something that caused me to fall even more in love with her.

For the first half of Lazyrinth's chapters she was actively reading it, as well as proof-reading it for me before I posted it for everyone else. She was my main audience - it was easy to find motivation when I could see the excitement for more in her eyes.

But as time went on, and we finally ended up moving in together, she found other interests... and as of now she doesn't really have an active interest in LazyTown or LazyTown fanfiction. And that means Lazyrinth too.

So... I've had a hard time having the motivation to write it when the main reason I ever wrote it, to get with the most wonderful woman I have ever known, worked so well that we were telling each other I love you before I even started posting the fic to AO3. And now that she doesn't even read it anymore...

It's not that the magic is gone. It's just... it feels a bit like it's served its purpose in my life. I've reread it about 100 times now, I've had it's entire plot in my mind for so long that it's not as interesting to me as it was before. That, and my writing has changed and grown a lot since I first started, and there are things I wish I could change about the story that is now too late to go back to.

My gf wants me to finish it though. She tells me that she remembers the late nights I spent shaking from excitement talking about the new ideas I thought of. She wants me to finish it because of how important it was to us and to me.

And a surprising amount of people want me to finish it too. I never expected it to get as popular as it did, and I especially didn't expect it to be popular enough that it would pop up in a ColeyDoesThings video. It's strange, because even though I have reasons to stop writing it, I have just as many reasons to finish it.

... and it will be a long time coming, but I'm gonna do it.

No timeline on when. I don't want you or anyone to have any expectations on when it will be done, because at this rate you'll be waiting until 2026 (knock on wood....) but as long as I'm able to write, I plan on getting it done. There's only, like 5 planned chapters left after all.

Though because of how wordy my writing is, that means there's at least 8...

#and now a word from matt #lazytown

And yes Nagi and Reo would not have been bad! I know the E4 were on the volume of the first version I figured they’d switch it up this time ofc the double itoshi is a big opp move but yeah anyways just glad to see tabieita getting their moments LMAO wait you had a Kunigami stan era omg LMAOO what happened to the no ginger rule /j but yeah he’s chill I just don’t have any heavy investment in him

Justin bieberitis LMAOO YUKI the “my culture is not your costume” has me wheezing otoya would definitely break the fourth wall too it’s such a dumbass otoya vibey thing

I remember that scene of Reo losing his mind screaming at zantetsu it was actually so hilarious LMAOO I do love their silly little dynamic but Reo got roped into the L taking club LAMAOA

SHAJS OTOYA REPARATIONS yeah I guess he can’t be catching ALL the strays I definitely also forgot ampharos has a mega (probably didn’t help that I don’t think I ever really had/used on) I’m still salty that megas were never brought back or continued like they could’ve just expanded and added more megas in the future games instead of swapping up mechanics each gen….but WHAGEVER RRJHSJRH Karasu fr just being surrounded by electric types that can kick his ass LMFAOOO

LAZYTOWN BEING BLLK BORUTO this is too funny but SHSHS DW YOURE ALL GOOD yeah i didn’t realize tumblr sucked this much hopefully it fixes soon?? But also take all the time you need to respond LMAO

No serious young aiku….young aiku…….but alas the stubble exists guys if PxG can have that much hair gel why doesn’t Ubers have a razor…guys come one…..but I agree still in the oaeu bestie zone LMAOO I need him to be my wingman irl

BRO I KNEW IT ITS THAT ONE ARTIST im ngl their memes always have me teetering on conversion territory their art style also definitely evolved a bit since they last posted!!! I saw that and lowk I agree but let’s remain strong for now it’s not the time to fall….but FR we’re gonna be eating so well s2 im so excited to see the favs in action!! All the recent promo material has me losing it too bro THREE DAYS WE’RE SO CLOSE SHSHSKSNSJA you’ll be getting a lengthy ask in your inbox once it airs so you can trust that you’ll need to open it then LMAOO

OMG ANOTHER MIRA DRAWING I’m crying otoya would so say that also the fact that you write in cursive just makes it 10x better HAHAHAH but OOOOH hairstyles!!! Are you deciding between the two or are these two forms of Tullia that exist depending on scenario in pursuit? They both look CUTE THO

OOOOOOOH WAIT 1K EVENT REQ?? Very intrigued and very excited if it does come out by this week I fr will be so stocked on content between that and s2!! Actually wait either way it works because I forgot s2 will be weekly starting from this week (WAHOO) Also wait it HAS been awhile since I’ve been surprised LMAO “how long it ends up being” anytime you say that i know it’s gonna be on the heftier side /j

Also SPICY WHITE GOODBYE also spicy white what does that even mean I’m crying if he was drunk too you should’ve said yes and gaslit him into thinking you were speaking in irish

- Karasu anon

HAHHA yeah right when i started (like in the first couple of eps) i liked kunigami!! ig i was really determined from the beginning not to like isagi…in my defense before the match against team v my options were isagi, bachira, chigiri, the rest of team z who are lowkey irrelevant, niko who actually is rather pretty but is just a bit too little-brother-coded to be attractive, and barou but specifically barou in his UGLIEST era 😭 kunigami was the best in a bad lot SDLKFJ also in that time he was far and away the most talented of team z (esp pre-chigiri-awakening) so there was that aspect…as SOON as nagi showed up though i was like 😍 and never looked back (that’s a lie i actually didn’t think i was going to like nagi at first i was so determined to wait for rin but then i realized i was lowkey giggling at some of nagi’s scenes and rewinding to watch his goals again and shit and that’s when i was like oh…)

JUSTIN BIEBERITIS it’s fr spreading!! LMAOAO no poor yuki i feel like i shouldn’t bully him sm his illness is even worse in pursuit because he was supposed to be an elite four member (hence why chris prince is his mentor) but he was banned from proper competitive battling because the stress made his condition worse 😓 that’s why his team is crazy strong and lowkey not aesthetic-maxed?? like you would think the man would have a milotic or an altaria or some other such elegant pokémon but his starter is a breloom and his team has such stunners as steelix, noivern, and alakazam but it’s because he was meant to beat aspiring trainers’ asses 😭 he just switched to contests because they were less stressful on his eyes and body due to having more of a focus on artistry than sheer-force victory…that’s why he ends up being a good mentor for reader and co he really teaches them how to not waste any energy and be super efficient in every move instead of wasting time and effort!! he’s super cool actually i really do like him unfortunately he’s SOO easy to slander it’s insane 😩 otoya definitely looks into the camera like he’s in the office unironically while in blue lock HAHAH can you imagine one of his teammates does smth stupid and he just stares into ego’s soul with the most unamused expression ever…it probably starts as a joke w karasu and then they both start doing it without thinking because it’s like a habit

YESSS THAT’S THE ONE pls it has me cackling every time reo looks so silly and zantetsu is so miffed meanwhile nagi just looks so concerned in the background bro was fr met with a completely different side of reo than he was used to 😭 reo being roped into the taking l’s club because he was linked up with king of losers tabito karasu #real honestly i think a little bit of humbling is good for him…bonus points if tullia’s watching the battle and reo’s like “this one’s for you 😁😉🫵🏻” before proceeding to get his shit rocked by the biggest idiots on the planet KSDJHFSLKD the negative aura is unmatched it’s only salvaged because otoya is tullia’s number one opp so she’s still team reo and karasu even though they lost

I LOVED MEGAS imo they were the best gimmick because they were the first and truly felt original/well thought out?? like there was lore behind the megas and the designs were different and pretty instead of just being “pikachu…but BIG” it’s the same with the alolan forms like it was cool the first time but why does every region have its own forms now…anyways yeah i’ve never been a huge ampharos user (as in i’ve never used it) so i always forget it has a mega but it does!! it’s funny actually when i’m looking at it which characters can and can’t mega 🧐 of the main-ish (aka relevant to us) characters nagi, chigiri, and tullia all don’t have any pokémon with mega evolved forms!! meanwhile reo has gallade + mawile, reader has houndoom + gyarados, karasu has pidgeot + garchomp + lucario (i literally forgot about lucario until i checked my notion page w everyone’s teams lowkey this is a win for the karasu girlies??? bro is eating), otoya has ampharos + altaria, barou has houndoom + sharpedo, isagi has charizard, and even hiori has metagross 😭 ofc these are only options definitely not all of these characters will get megas let alone all of the pokémon for each character but it’s def fun to look at!! also wait it would be really funny if otoya can only evolve his altaria since mega altaria is even more fluffy cutesy “girly” as well as being a dragon FAIRY type so that would def make bro crash out just a bit (the coolness of mega evolution does ease the sting a bit though)

YOUNG AIKUUUU MY BELOVED no actually that’s so real should’ve switched rin and barou just so all of the hair product warriors (barou karasu shidou zantetsu) could’ve been on one team SDKLJFH lowkey i would love to see more zantetsu and barou interactions i think they’re so funny together 😭 fr though i know barou def has a spare razor lying around somewhere he’s too neat to NOT so aiku has zero excuse…okay wait actually can i confess that BAROU with the stubble in that one scene where he’s a depressed dilf was SO FINE SDLKFJHSDKLJ FHSL BROOOOO I LOST IT I NEED HIM TO FAIL AT SOCCER AND LIVE THAT LIFESTYLE (WITH ME)

hehehe barou just does it better SORRY aiku anyways yeah i need him to wingman for me HEAVY…IDEC WHO bro can set me up with barou karasu yukimiya nagi reo…i guess sae…otoya (i can actually fix him i know it) karasu karasu did i mention karasu??? karasu—

their art style is sooo pretty but agreed they post rlly infrequently (whenever they do it ends up on my fyp) and they always have a slightly different art style every time!! it’s cool to see the development in real time hehe anyways yeah trust i won’t fall!! although the character i’m writing a request for is pissing me off because they’re being too agreeable to it which is making me…not CONVERT but appreciate them yk (ig that’s process of elimination that i’m not writing a karasu rec but considering how the rest of the characters aren’t miraverse golden standard favs it doesn’t narrow it down too much)

SLKDJFHSD PLEASE i was between writing that or “‘humane euthanasia is the only option’ — eita otoya” for it HAHAHAH yeah i always write in cursive and i think it does add a layer of humor to things because it’s the most ridiculous nonsense written in my pretty handwriting LMAOO 😭 for her hair i was thinking it’ll be scenario dependent!! so like the base hairstyle is the one of her hair down but she ties it back in the messy bun (so #y/n of her) when she’s doing more gross or intensive stuff if that makes sense?? so like the bun is more of a rare find (kinda like no jacket rolled up sleeves karasu) but still present which is why i drew both hehe

1K EVENT REQ YESSSS i’m actually enjoying myself writing it idk if it quite fits with what the requester had in mind but eh wtvr i’m having fun so it’s okay!! it will all end up for the best…yeah unfortunately i do sense it getting to be to the heftier side we’re past 2k words and haven’t met the love interest yet soooo anyways…YESSS WEEKLY S2 I’M SO HYPEEE CAN’T WAIT TO CHAT ABOUT IT AND WATCH IT AND CONSUME EDITS NONSTOP!!

SPICY WHITE HAD ME HOWLINGGGG actually funny enough that was the same night as the coke dude that wicked game was based on as well as the linkedin guy SLDKFHSDLKFJDS anyways apparently spicy white is white but not like white anglo saxon protestant white??? so basically mediterranean and sometimes slavic i think…look i know i look really racially ambiguous and get mistaken for a lot of things (i’ve had people make fun of my parents to my face for not teaching me spanish since they think i’m latina and i have to be like “well they don’t know it either i’m actually indian”, almost everyone including other indian people think i’m either irani or afghani, and when i’m in europe i’m mistaken for spanish or italian quite frequently) so i wouldn’t have been as flabbergasted if he had just gone straight to greek (that was his second guess) but IRISH???? first of all irish is the opposite of spicy white regardless second of all i may be pale by indian/poc standards but irish people are on another level of whiteness typically…like NO ONE ELSE has EVER looked at me and been like “yup she’s irish” as you can tell that was just an insane night all around truly everything was happening

@sportacoke continued from here!

Fwip! The little flag on her magic letterbox flips up. Naomi looks at it from the other side of the room, where she's been setting up a shoe rack and rug close to the door. A letter, so fast after she sent one out!

Naomi walks over to the box and unlocks the little door in front, and no sooner does it drop open that a paper airplane flies past her, looping around the room.

"Oh-!"

It's Ragamonster who catches it, and she has to carefully rescue the airplane from his toothy mouth before unfolding it. Foam and felt though his teeth might be, they can still reasonably crunch something flimy like paper.

"Let's see who it's from, Rags."

The stationary is simple but tidy, once she's unfolded the letter and smoothed it out on her desk; she reads through it carefully, making note of each question that merits response.

"Sportacus." She says the name out loud, and her brow quirks a bit. "Now there's an interesting name - reminds me a bit of you, Ragamonster." Rags chuffs in response, and Naomi takes out her pen and notepad. Letters go so fast here, she wants to take her time with this one - perhaps leftover anxiety from notifications on her phone.

(She hasn't looked at her phone in a while.)

It's the next day that she sits down to pen her response.

"Dear Sportacus, I can't say I've heard of Lazytown! It sounds lovely from the way you describe it, though. I hope the snow storms aren't too terrible - they can be quite frightening! We mostly get wind in Lullaby Lane, but I haven't been here long enough to tell you what the winter looks like. I'll get back to you once it's finished making its way here. I do have hobbies! I live here-"

A pause. She looks at her bed, at Ragamonster, at Willa napping on the wall. It's temporary. It's all temporary until you find the Librarian.

Right?

She turns back to the paper.

"I live here in the library, and I have to say, it was in quite a state when I got the key! I've spent the last few months fixing it up and redecorating. I finished the whole first floor myself! The second floor's still a work in progress, but now I have my friends Willa and Rags to help me, and I think it's coming along great. I think my favorite part is putting together furniture. Other than that, I have a podcast! I like to read fairytales and other bedtime stories from around the world - I think they can be very comforting."

And that next paragraph. Telling the whole truth is just too much weight to put on a friendly stranger. She taps her pen against the desk before starting again.

"I'm going to be spending the holidays with Rags and Willa this year, actually, as well as anyone else who comes to the library! We seem to have more and more new faces every day, which makes me happy. I like seeing the library grow. I celebrate Christmas, myself, so I'll probably have to see about putting up a tree and some lights. How do you decorate for the holidays? Thank you for writing back to me! I look forward to hearing from you again. Sincerely, Naomi PS: You know, I don't know how to make clothes, but I bet I could find some books on it! This is a library, after all."

As before, she carefully folds up the letter and places it in its baby-blue envelope. This time she seals it with a sticker she designed herself - a clear balloon half-full of water, a little yellow goldfish swimming in the middle. Signed and addressed, she drops it in the letterbox slot, and smiles as she doesn't hear a thump.

It knows where to go.

Oh you can actually see a whole guide about my AU in my blog! Just search "ballet AU", it would make me super happy.

But in regards to this, Íþróttaálfurinn is Sportacus' older brother. He's right between 5'10 and 5'11, not quite exactly either. (This would be easier with cm lol). Alex (this is a human AU, so Sportacus is a nickname since no human being is named that) is 5'8, but he doesn't much care. (The Áfram version of Íþróttaálfurinn was their father, and he was as tall as his oldest son). Íþrótt is 17 years older than Alex.

Then there's seven Glæpur siblings. For plot reasons I made Rikki an actual person, he's Glanni's twin.

From older to youngest

-Robert "Bobby", 6'1 (currently, I may change it).

-Glanni and Rikki, exactly 6ft

-Tobias "Tobby", 5'11

-Florence "Flobby", 5'6

-Robyn "Robbie", 6'2

-Ella, 1'73 m (genuinely don't know how to put that in feet and inches soz)

Awe thank youuu!!! I like yours too

(he totally is plotting your demise and since you made him so tiny you gave him the power to sneak into your house so the window or the vents O_O)

Edit: since the search function is deciding to be difficult here are a couple links to what I've written of the AU.

First concept idea:

WIP sneak peek, some elaborations, and some technical explanations:

And the full character guide:

Hope you enjoy!!!

You can't tell me Glanni isn't shorter than Robbie when he doesn't have his stupidly high heels.

I love the poses sm I think it suits them well hehe

Secret Agent Zero (prod 126)

Original airdate: October 21, 2005

Story by Magnus Scheving, Gudmundor Thor Karason

Written by Noah Zachary, Cole Louie, Magnus Scheving

Directed by Jonathan Judge, Magnus Scheving

Executive producers - Magnus Scheving, Ragnheidur Melsted, Raymond P. Le Gue, Mark Read, Brown Johnson, Kay Wilson Stallings

Starring Magnus Scheving, Stefan Karl Steffanson, Julianna Rose Mauriello

Puppeteers - Gudmondor Thor Karason, Jodi Eichelberger, David Matthew Feldman, Julie Westwood, Sarah Burgess

I don't have much expierence with spy related media except watching 'Enter the Dragon' & 'Spy Kids'. So I'm expecting some kung fu moves and over the top villain plans in this episode.

The episode starts with a pretty over the top cold open. Sportacus is brushing his teeth then he accidentally (accidentally my butt, the door was open, who leaves it like that??) throws it out the door AND HE JUMPS OUT OF THE SHIP (he lands on the sky chaser, durr) to get this toothbrush. And he gets it and puts in his shirt.

Then he goes back up with complete satisfaction that he has a TOOTHBRUSH. Pretty over the top already. Satisified with the Spy Kids aspect. Agent Pink, Agent Candy, and Agent Mine are in Pixel's house in their spy outfits. Communicating on their walkie talkies (they're right next to each other?????), they ask each other if they're ready, and Agent Candy is ready... after one more lick of his lollipop.

They go spying, but nothing is happening.. until Robbie comes in and starts yelling about how much he hates the sports equipment on the field. He plans to remove all the equipment off the field so Sportacus stops flipping and stuff like that. He kicks a basketball (dude..) out of anger, and it bounces back and he does a ridiculous jump.

Truly LOLed. Well, not truly. Anyways, he starts to move the basketball hoop until Milford catches him, questioning what he is doing. Milford says he can't do that, and Robbie asks why he should listen to him (this is ridiculous, you've been living in LazyTown since like what, the 1999 play and you still don't know who the mayor is?), then the Mayor says because he's the Mayor. WORLD SHATTERING NEWS. Then Stephanie says 'Way to go' after Robbie leaves and Milford over-hears her.

Milford thinks he is being watched so he asks Sportacus for help via a letter. Meanwhile, Robbie thinks he should run LazyTown and he has a plan to do so. Then he gets into his Fordmill Meansbad costume. Make that blue and I would rock it all the time.

So, anyways, Sportacus comes, Milford tells him the issue, Sportacus flips onto a wall and he sees Ziggy, and then he leaves. The spies tell Milford he's spying.. well.. they're spies, what the hell did you expect me to say, they're writing a novella? Then they ask what he does as mayor but Fordmill Meansbad answers it for him and also says that he is the new mayor. So then they have a vote (yellow paper = Milford, purple paper = Fordmill), and everyone votes for Milford.

..Except.. Bessie, the rat! Now since Robbie has one vote, he lies that the majority voted him and now he is mayor. He bans Sportscandy first thing and he goes over to his office. Milford is sulking with the rest, and everyone is confused as to who'd vote Fordmill.. then they all look at Bessie, whose excuse is.. 'he had such fancy clothing'. The same logic as all the people who crush on Hans Gruber. Ziggy enthusiastically says he can be a secret agent.

They start off with gadgets. Off to French Fry Hair Boy's house! First up, they have a pen with a built in mini camera, a shoe with a built in phone, and Bessie rings him to test. Then we got two cufflinks.. and if you press one of them.. you get hit in the face.

So he decides to press the OTHER cufflink and gets LAUNCHED UP IN THE AIR. Bessie, the idiot who started the entire thing yells at him to get down from there. You know the drill, crystal beeps, Sporty flips, and he saves Milford.

So Fordmill makes an announcement banning sports, and the kids tell Sportacus everything. Bessie says that gadgets are fine, but you also need style. Then they perform Man on a Mission. The song ends with Milford screwing up (pressing his cufflink..) and Steph asks Sporty to go with Milford. He does, being the nice guy he is. Meanwhile, Fordmill is really getting into being mayor, playing with a mini set of LazyTown and driving the sports equipment away with a truck.

Meanwhile, Sportacus has devised a plan while they are crouching down a wall - flip in, get box, flip out. But Milford falls down doing the signature move.. which is honestly pathetic. So, anyways, he goes into the town hall, and he stands on a trap-door. He has a very.. unique greeting.

Gudmondor Thor made this ugly looking puppet in 1999 for Wit Puppets. Thank the heavens he made new puppets for the 2004 show, because if not, I would be reviewing DORA THE EXPLORER. Anyways, Sportacus shows no fear considering it's a.. y'know.. puppet. So, anyways, the real Fordmill stands up and pulls a lever. He has trapped Sportacus!

Anyways, Milford is also greeted by the puppet, and the puppet says that's a puppet. Puppetception. Also hypocrisy. So, anyways, Robbie stands up and he is ready to pull the lever, trapping Milford too. But Sportacus' crystal beeps so he handstands.

Robbie starts chasing Milford around the office. But the chase is interrupted when Bessie calls to say hi to Milford.. Bessie is unironically my least favourite character and she should be yours too.

The chase continues until Milford says that Sportacus'll save him, but Sportacus is 'incommunicado', 'no longer able to be with us', and 'stuck in a dark place with a lid on it'. Milford doesn't understand it. And this guy is STILL mayor of the town. Maybe the town'd be in a better state with Fordsmill. So, anyways, he steals Milford's pen and writes down 'Sportacus is trapped' and throws the pen out. By now, Bessie is super mad (she started it!!!), the phone is still on, and she tells Milford to give Fordmill the phone.

So, she warns Fordmill not to touch a single hair on Milford's hair, and Fordmill says that he doesn't have any hair. LOL! Ridiculed he is talking to a phone, he breaks it.

In retaliation, the secret agent does.. nothing. In fact, he lets Fordmill (probably off-camera) tie him in ropes, upside down, risking getting biten by an angry fish and also breaking his precious flower (Gloria, which was also the name of David Matthew Feldman's mother, Gloria Feldman.)

The kids decide they have to help Milford. Meanwhile, Sportacus spots an apple on Milford's desk that can fit in the trap door hole. So he knocks the door until the apple falls in the trap door and he energizes, jumping out of the trap door.

The rope breaks just when Sportacus grabs onto it, pulling it up so that Gloria lives and Milford doesn't have a fish bite. Meanwhile, Fordmill is in the town hall, celebrating that Sportacus is trapped until Agent Pink turns the chair around.

Her two partners also appear, and Agent Candy calls him a cheater pumpkin eater before pulling the lever. Milford and Sportacus show up and Agent Pink tells him she trapped Fordsmill. So he gets him out of there, and Candy asks who he is (after he explained it so much earlier in the episode..). He winks and his eye thingy falls off. The disguise is revealed.

They check the votes and Milford has won by a landslide. To celebrate, they sing the Bing Bang song. In the lair, Robbie is sulking, but then the puppet turns over, saying the catchphrase.. 'So, character, we meet again'. In the French dub, Robbie talks about his confusion for who is controlling the puppet (which is ultimately better then the dialogue in the English version).

Then the episode ends.

It was missing a lot of Kung Fu moves. 7/10

Lazytown Ballet AU: a character guide

So I thought this would be fun to do and also help me keep my thoughts more organized. Fair warning, this gets pretty long because it's grown beyond my expectations. Still, I'm quite happy with what my mind keeps spitting at me. So without further ado:

THE COMPANY:

THE TRAINEES:

-Stephanie Meanswell, age 18

Cheery, bubbly, girly, and overly fond of any variation of the color pink, she is what people generally picture when imagining a "cute little ballerina girl" or a little girl's ballerina phase. She takes both the art and the physical aspects very seriously, and works twice as hard to counteract that image; she is also very interested in, and knowledgeable about, ballet history. She gets along with most of everyone at the company, especially Ziggy, Pixel, Stingy, Trixie and Alex, but she is particularly fascinated by Solla and Ella.

Stephanie's favorite role is Clara (The Nutcracker) but she aspires to be able to play the full-opposite double role of Odette/Odile (Swan Lake).

-Beatrice "Trixie" Troubleby, age 18:

Was originally put in ballet classes to instill some discipline by her mother, a retired ballerina. Despite her relatively late start, she became so fascinated by how she could mold her body to her whim that she threw herself wholeheartedly into the practice. She excels at difficult technical aspects, but also has a finely tuned instinct for the theatrical. Aside from her late start, she has had to fight racist notions of not being an ideal shape or stature due to being half-Korean, but uses her smaller frame to her advantage. She is often mischievous, and, outside of practice, rather tomboyish, which is another thing held against her.

Trixie does not have a favorite role but rather two favorite sequences to dance: Medora's Petit Corsaire (Le Corsaire) and Kiri's part in the Pas de Deux (Don Quixote).

-Sebastian "Stingy" Spoilero, age 18:

The son of a wealthy family who wishes to appear progressive by supporting his career and self-expression while secretly hoping it is a phase that will go away. Sebastian is exceedingly elegant onstage and tries to maintain that attitude offstage, but sometimes a certain petulant nature caused by his bringing comes through, as well as being somewhat pedantic, especially about the history of ballet, a hobby he shares with Stephanie. They're also both fans of Rotten Candy. He has been fascinated by Robyn since early childhood and decided to pursue ballet as a career because of him. Sebastian can be very self-centered and focuses intensely on his own practice. Though he is careful and pays much attention during partnered dances, he holds everybody to the same impossible standard to which he holds himself, which often makes him a difficult partner.

Sebastian is gender nonconforming in a variety of ways and he longs to incorporate typically female dance moves into his routines, which contributed to his idol-worship of Robyn. He has secretly trained himself en pointe, risking damage to his feet. His nickname comes from always wanting protagonist roles.

Sebastian has a secret crush.

Sebastian's favorite roles are Ali (Le Corsaire) and Romeo (Rómeo et Juliette), though he is very put out that Ali is not a protagonist role, even if it is a soloist. He also has an immense love for the Oiseau Bleu role (Sleeping Beauty) despite its shortness.

-Alex Magnússon, age 19:

Cheery, energetic, and positive, often described as having golden retriever or bumblebee energy, but very focused when it comes to practice. Though he is the oldest of the trainees and the best male dancer in technical aspects, especially jumps and lifts, he lacks grace, poise and any sort of theatricality, and seems to be constantly overcorrecting. Therefore, he hasn't graduated yet, and has been nicknamed "Sportacus", which he takes in stride, in reference to the fact that often he seems to be doing more gymnastics than ballet. Rikki sees a lot of promise in him, and wants him to be the next male lead dancer for the company, hence his dragging his brother out of retirement. Alex can become obsessive when it comes to practice and will take any tips to become the dancer he can be. He gets along with everyone, but his closest friend in the company is Stephanie. He has an older brother that is an actual gymnast, and a peculiar little secret...

Alex does not have a favorite role to dance yet.

THE DANCERS:

-Solla Stírða, age 22:

Solla also has a relatively stereotypical ballerina image, but more "ballet aesthetic/Hollywood ballet" than Stephanie's "little girl ballet princess". Since she is also very fond of pink, this has led Rikki to compare them as "rose pink versus bubblegum pink". She certainly suits the aesthetic with her pale hair and skin, large doe eyes, slim body, and long, elegant limbs, as well as her predilection for soft pink shades, as well as creams/beiges, white, and light greys in her wardrobe. She has a gentle, kind and patient attitude and demeanor, and disappears into her own world when she dances, but is fierce when it comes to her friends, especially Halla. She is the current prima ballerina, and is near-perfect in technique and attitude both.

Solla secretly suffers from chronic joint pain and her muscles easily seize or go rigid, as well as her joints locking. Only Rikki, Bobby, and Halla are aware of this. She has a special flexibility regime to ensure none of this ever happens on stage, and perhaps some other, more dubious methods...

Solla's favorite role to dance is Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) but she also heavily favors the Sugarplum Fairy (The Nutcracker).

-Halla Hrekkjusvín, age 23:

A peculiar, somewhat wild character, equated by some to Sergei Polunin's enfant térrible and out-of-convention attitude. Halla dances exclusively male roles despite being AFAB, and outside of costume she is butch enough to often be mistaken for a delicate-faced man, which she doesn't mind. She has developed enough lean muscle and strength for nearly any male role, and her sense for dramatics is impeccable. Her hair is dyed an outrageous shade of red, forcing her into wigs for every single performance. She usually requires two rehearsals for every part: a basic one to learn the steps, and a second one to adapt her movements to wearing her binder. Otherwise, it would be on for entirely too many hours.

Despite her intense dislike of Rikki, she is forced to rely on him if she wants to keep dancing male roles professionally. For the sake of public image, Halla's real gender is kept a secret outside the company.

She is in a relationship with Solla, that is also kept secret.

Halla's favorite role to dance is Rothbart (Swan Lake).

-Jives Junkfood, age 23:

Despite the unfortunate surname, Jives is actually exceedingly careful with his food, like all dancers. He keeps an all-natural diet bordering on orthorexia, and as a rule of thumb refuses to ever buy food or snacks outside of home. He's somewhat like a Yuzuru Hanyu of ballet; a lackadaisical and even at times clumsy attitude and personality that evaporate as soon as the music is on. Tremendously graceful, he is often chosen for more romantic, softer male leads versus Halla's more dramatic ones. He tries to get along with everyone but doesn't seem to click with Halla despite his best efforts. Outside of stage, he is somewhat sloppy in his manner of dress, which also causes some mocking or even stops people from recognizing him.

He has a secret bad habit and a similarly secret relationship with one of the stagehands.

Jives's favorite roles to dance are Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty) and Prince Siegfried (Swan Lake) despite the constant clashes this last part brings about with Halla during rehearsals.

-Penny Pestella, age 24:

One of the oldest female soloists, Penny's personality seems to sit somewhere between Halla's mischievous and often volatile nature, and Jives's devil-may-care attitude, but also friendly and easygoing, if with a sassy edge. Because she shares certain physical similarities with Jives, as well as her eccentric and perceived "sloppy" manner of dress, they are often confused for siblings. They also have similar issues about fitting in with the generally conservative and posh world of ballet, but respond in the same way, by not bending. Penny's technique is slightly more imperfect than Solla's or Ella's, but her acting and theatricality more than make up for it. Still, and despite appearances, Penny takes rehearsals very seriously and stage performances even more seriously. She's also a touch too fond of gossip, which makes her get along very well with Bessie.

When she is not mistaken for his sibling, she's often thought to be in a relationship with Jives. When she is, or even sometimes when she isn't, she's just as often thought to be in a relationship with Halla. There also have been wild rumors of her two-timing them, or of them both wanting her and her being the cause of the animosity between the two. In reality, Penny is aroace, and aware of both Halla's and Jives's relationships.

Penny's favorite role to dance is Nikiya (La Bayadère), despite its controversial nature.

-Ella Glæpur, age 23:

Ella is fully dedicated to ballet as essentially her entire life. Being autistic, it is sometimes difficult for her to emote in a way that neurotypicals identify as "correct", but this melts away as soon as she inhabits a character. Despite this, and her perfect technique, surpassing even Solla, she is often bullied by other dancers as a "robot", and there are repeated claims that she only is where she is due to being Rikki's sister. Ella is also a mute, which a lot of people confuse for being nonverbal as a symptom of her autism. Plenty of people tried progressively more awful tactics to force her to speak, up until the discovery of the medical condition that she shares with one of her siblings. Still, people who are not aware of this continue to try and force "a word out of her". Ella doesn't mask, and she is often mistaken for being cold, aloof, and even arrogant. In reality, her anxiety and past experiences keep her from approaching people. Only her siblings are able to read her correctly most of the time. Ella's rehearsing routines tend towards the obsessive and even punishing, which no one seems to notice or much care about except for Bobby and Flobby.

Ella is extraordinarily beautiful, with glowing pale skin, pitch-black hair, doe-eyes with very long lashes and grey irises, sharp features and a heart-shaped, almost unnaturally red mouth. Her figure is also considered the "gold standard" for a ballerina. This has prompted baseless rumors among the other dancers about a rivalry between her and Solla, the other "company beauty".

Both Ella's hair and her eyes have a violet undertone.

She is immensely interested in Stephanie's progress.

Her own secret -at least the one not directly associated with her family- has to do with her eating habits.

Ella's favorite role to dance is the double White Swan/Black Swan (Swan Lake).

THE GLÆPURS:

-Rikki Glæpur, nicknamed "Rikki Ríkki", age 35:

Rikki walks the tightrope between handsome and beautiful, with steely gray eyes, impeccable pale skin, and carefully styled pitch-black hair. Like his twin, he favors a relatively androgynous style of dress and outrageously expensive clothing, often including pieces in his outfits that seem like they couldn't have been pulled off by anyone else. Similarly, he also wears makeup daily, but his style is much more subdued than Glanni's, if clearly visible.

Charming, charismatic, and entertaining, he's the owner and face of the company, as well as the director, and used to be Robyn's direct manager. Rikki is incredibly manipulative, lies and twists the truth with astounding ease, and is prone to and adept at gaslighting the people around him. Narcissistic (malignant -no NSPD) with some alarming sadistic tendencies, and a sociopath, his only code of ethics or morality are his self-created rules to achieve whatever he wants, no matter who or what may fall in the process -and some already have. Despite not technically being the oldest, he helped raise most of his siblings and controls all of them as adults.

If secrets were skeletons in a closet, Rikki's would be a graveyard's worth.

-Glanni Glæpur, age 35:

Rikki's identical twin brother. Unlike him, however, while his personal morals are several different shades of gray, and he has a tendency to not think about the consequences of his actions, Glanni is not actively cruel unless he feels it's warranted, and cares deeply for the people closest to him, especially his siblings and his three best friends. He's especially protective of Robbie, Ella and Einar, whom he sees as the most emotionally fragile. Most of the rest of the world is either interesting, in which case he may become invested and nosy, or uninteresting, in which case they get ignored. While he shares Rikki's ability to read people and get to their secrets, he's rarely malicious about it -either he hoards potential gossip, or pushes people toward what they really want. He also generally loves playing matchmaker. Any sort of threat to his loved ones, however, and all bets are off, including physical violence and blackmail. He's also prone to fits of anger around bigots.

Glanni's the frontman and lead singer of Rotten Candy, a glam pop rock band. Accordingly, his personal style is flamboyant, androgynous, and extremely eye-catching, on and off stage. He favors heavy makeup, lots of accessories, and materials like lace, leather, vinyl and latex, as well as a mostly black color scheme with pops of vibrant color. His image color within the band is bright pink, matching his nickname ("Bubblegum Bitch"). He is seldom seen wearing flat shoes or not wearing nail polish, and adores any form of glitter.

Glanni has rather promiscuous tendencies but, knowing himself and how deeply he cares once he allows himself, he keeps himself rather guarded romantic-wise.

Glanni helped raise his younger siblings, and at 25, took a two year hiatus from his career to care for Robyn after his accident, which resulted in an even deeper bond between them, and in being the only sibling Robbie regularly kept contact with. He always encouraged Robyn and Ella to pursue their own artistic career. Glanni is one of the siblings who can most easily read Ella accurately.

Glanni and Rikki have the same matching lobe piercings, but Glanni has added more over the years.

Glanni has another graveyard in his closet, but he doesn't collect other people's skeletons unless necessary.

-Robert "Bobby" Glæpur, age 37:

The actual eldest sibling, basically raised the younger ones along with the twins. Generally level-headed and pragmatic, finds it easier for others to listen to him, with the notable exceptions of Glanni and Robbie, who do so on occasion (and in certain matters, rarely), Ella, who does so sparsely, and Rikki, who never does. He's aware of not being as physically attractive as the twins or Robbie, but doesn't care. He pursued medical studies and wanted to become a doctor, but ended up as the company's in-house physical therapist -with a license to prescribe. He's the one sibling who gets confrontational with Rikki often, but never about his own situation. His main concern is the wellbeing of the dancers.

Bobby's eyes are grey, like all Glæpur siblings, but his have a slight dark blue undertone.

-Tobias "Tobby" Glæpur, age 34:

Artistic, ditsy, and easily distracted until a passion project grabs him, Tobby, who wanted to become a painter or a fashion designer, has channeled his artistic passions into costume and set design. He cares deeply for his family, but is easily intimidated by Rikki. Shy and a bit of a pushover, he carries a feeling of guilt over Ella's autism and subsequent social problems, as he was diagnosed with autism and ADHD before she was even born, and feels very protective of her. He gets along especially well with Goggi and Pixel, outside of his immediate family.

Tobby's grey eyes have a pale green undertone.

-Florence "Flobby" Glæpur, age 33:

Shy and reclusive, which is not aided in the slightest by his mutism. Excellent with numbers, he wound up as the company's accountant, and considers himself lucky for that as he believes he never would have found a job otherwise. He's also very bookish and enjoys reading almost any genre. His dressing style is the most subdued out of all the siblings, as opposed to the twins's glamour, Robbie's carefully curated wardrobe, and Tobby's cheerful colors. Even next to Bobby's practical clothes and limited palette, he looks almost drab -but not due to a lack of interest. He's diagnosed with autism and, out of the siblings, suffers most harshly from SPD, as well as misophonia. He also has the same medical condition that causes mutism as Ella does, and was similarly mistaken for being nonverbal. He gets along best with Ella, and vice-versa.

Tobby does mask, but it slips relatively easily with his siblings, especially Rikki. Unlike Ella however, his "problem" is emoting too much, not too little.

Tobby is the shortest sibling, an inch shorter than Ella. His grey eyes have an ice blue undertone.

-Robbie Rotten, formerly Robyn Glæpur, age 32:

Formerly the most promising male dancer since the classical greats, talented and hardworking beyond measure, Robyn was the fastest rising star in the world of ballet, debuting just shy of his 18th birthday. His technique, interpretation, poise, attitude, physicality were all unrivalled, as was his dedication to the craft. He was barely twenty and touring the world; shy, a touch brash, and hardly a people-pleaser except for his dancing, he had no time nor patience for much human connection outside his family. Unbeknownst to most, he didn't value himself too highly as a person except for his dancing, either. Obsessive and dangerously perfectionist.

He refused to have a proper mental health diagnosis, worried about the impact on his career should it come out. Still, he had some clear neurodivergent traits, especially repetitive tics and what appeared to be a struggle with sensory processing. He also had issues with his diet, and practically embodied the old "ballet dancers subsist on black coffee, cigarettes and sugarless mint gum" image. Robyn was always gender non-conforming, and shared Glanni's fascination with fashion and makeup, elements of which he kept adding into his performances; in public life, however, this was restricted, as he feared becoming a stereotype. He is actually nonbinary.

At 22, "Robyn Glæpur" suffered a catastrophic accident during a performance gala, the details of which remain unknown. After several surgeries and intensive physical therapy, it became clear that he would never dance again, and was forced into a brace and a cane for the rest of his life. Instead of taking comfort in his family, he divorced himself from them, with the sole exception of Glanni, who could dig his heels in even deeper than him. He asked to be called "Robbie" instead, which Tobias, Florence and Robert imitated to a degree in a show of solidarity, and changed his last name. He became reclusive, prone to anger, depressive and bitter, even cruel at times. He's only close with Glanni.

Now, dragged out of retirement by Rikki, he can hardly contain his venom when he speaks or instructs, but he's begrudgingly impressed by three trainees. The fourth one, the one he was specifically asked to coach, however, manages to get on his every last nerve with what he perceives as disrespect for the art.

Robbie's appearance is strikingly similar to the twins's, but his grey eyes have a violet undertone, like Ella's.

Robbie's aware of many more of Rikki's skeletons than almost anyone, but in a very unique position regarding them.

OTHER COMPANY MEMBERS:

-Bessie Busybody, age "you don't ask a lady that":

Outgoing, boisterous, and too fond of gossip, a former ballerina who now directs the costuming department. Originally, she was a balletmistress, but was incapable of keeping her shape, so Rikki hired someone else. A fashion lover, she is still quite content where she is. She actually has no financial need to work, but enjoys it. A connoisseur of the finer things in life, and rumored to have a lover in politics. She takes to mothering the dancers and trainees whether they want her to or not, and has an uncanny ability to tell when someone hasn't eaten or slept enough. Though she can at times be self-centered or oblivious, she has a good heart. She has connections in the press from former acquaintances, that Rikki has made use of before.

-Pixel Hyperbyte, age 22:

A tech wiz and incredibly advanced genius, who can elevate any stage or light setting. He's also in charge of props. Relatively shy and quiet, even aloof at times (especially while working) explodes all over the place when asked about his special interests. He doesn't like the attitude of a lot of the dancers and trainees, but gets along well with Stephanie, Sebastian, and Trixie, often intervening in the scuffles between the last two. He's fascinated by Ella, but not romantically, and is one of few people outside of her family that makes an effort to communicate with her in sign language. Pixel is HOH and has some visual problems, and has designed his own state-of-the-art aids. His dressing style is laid back, comfortable and sporty-looking, with plenty of graphic t-shirts from his his favorite bands or video games.

He may have his eye on one of the trainees, and is more aware of Robbie's history and Rikki's personality than anyone realizes. "Pixel" isn't his birth name. Nobody knows what it is and nobody asks. He also has a peculiar hobby outside of work...

-Goggi Mega, age 24:

Pixel's older cousin, as technically gifted as him. Rather more outgoing and with a peculiar sense of humor and style, favoring neon, metallic, vinyl and holographic fabrics, as well as dyeing his hair a bright acid green. He's in charge of sound tech and is essentially the entire sound department. He has visual issues and wears aids designed by Pixel. Since he also has an intermittent hypersensitivity to light, Pixel also designed a pair of blackout goggles for him so that he could still do his job while in complete darkness. He shares his love of technology and video games with his cousin, and is also a fan of Rotten Candy, like Sebastian.

Goggi's in a secret relationship with one of the dancers.

-Ziggy Zweets, age 17:

A stagehand and one of the youngest members of the company. Honest, energetic, hardworking and earnest. Though often overenthusiastic and even innatentive, he takes his job very seriously. He's very creative designing sets and an impressively deft hand with the flies despite his young age. He's also very good with a needle, so he switches between departments as needed. Blond, with round pink freckled cheeks and earnest blue eyes, he's nearly everyone's definition of "cute", but most of the dancers stay away from him because he has a terrible sweet tooth and always offers to share. He doesn't understand why this would upset them.

Pixel, Goggi and Bessie all get along very well with him. For the most part, so does Penny, the only dancer who doesn't actively stay away from him.

Ziggy idolizes Alex, and is convinced he'll be the best dancer of the century. He doesn't hesitate to make this known, even to Alex himself, which gets on Sebastian's every last nerve. He also thinks Stephanie is the best female trainee, provoking a similar reaction from Trixie.

Robbie has a love/hate relationship with him: Ziggy remembers his favorite coffee order and all his favorite pastries and tends to buy them for him in the mornings, which he likes, but it also reminds him of his changed diet and the reasons for it, so he'll get angry about it. Ziggy can never really make heads nor tails of this attitude.

His real name is Siegfried. The nickname started on account of his age and stuck, but people will often make Swan Lake jokes about his real name.

Ziggy can often be idealistic and naive, and seems for the most part unaware of the darker goings-on at the company, as well as Rikki's true personality. He has however noticed something off about Jives's eating habits and is determined to fix it even if his methods are extremely clumsy and often do more harm than good.

(The rest of the company are assorted dancers, lower-level trainees, stagehands, and techs, as well as the balletmaster and mistress).

ROTTEN CANDY

-Ketill Hvass, age 33:

Bass or drums, depending on the song, for the band. His clothes are easily the "edgiest" looking of the band, with heavy inspiration from BDSM accessories (especially harnesses) and "corrupted-cute" or menhera motifs, such as candy-filled pills or bondage teddy bears. Onstage, he usually limits those motifs and leans more heavily on the fashionable BDSM aspect. He also loves glitter eyeshadow in neon and acid colors.

He is of average height but the shortest of the permanent members, which makes him look shorter in comparison. He has bright green almond eyes, with a rather feline look to them, and auburn-copper wavy hair, nearly shoulder-length. He usually styles it with three Dutch braids (not cornrows) on the left side. He has both the most tattoos and the most piercings in the band, including but not limited to: a ring on the side of his nose, two on his bottom lip, nipple barbells, a double-ended dermal between his collarbones, and plenty on his ears. As far as tattoos, a double moon under the left end of his collarbone, the moon phases along his spine, realistic barbed wire with blood pinpricks around his right ankle, Polaris under his left eye, a snake on his left forearm, and at least half a dozen others. His favorite is a stylized GG in the inside of his right wrist.

He is ambidextrous. His primary hobby is collecting pretty knives, which is linked to his own secret.

His band nickname is Sour Gummi and his image color is neon green.

-Einar Avásson, age 32:

Main keyboard, also plays bass. Einar is rather tall, but even slimmer than Glanni, and has something of an almost fey element to his appearance, with a very delicate bone structure to his face and irises so dark they look black. He favors very tight bottoms with oversized tops as a rule; ripped, sheer, or mesh fabrics, vinyl, latex and leather, and flat-shaped but sky high platforms, as well as multiple accessories, particularly collars. Usually wears dark eyeshadow and black or blue lipstick, with mismatched glitter on his high cheekbones, and dark nail polish. He has long hair, touching his shoulder-blades, styled in a side cut with the very short part to the left; it is originally strawberry blonde and slightly wavy, but he dyes it black and straightens it. He's got several piercings on his ears but no other visible ones; he does however have more tattoos, such as a "death moth" on his instep, a colored stem of monkshood on his right calf, a rose thorn "bracelet" with blood dots and several color roses around his right wrist, barbed wire identical to Ketill's but around his hipbone, and the same stylized GG on his ribs.

Like Glanni, he has a very obvious oral fixation and can almost always be seen either chewing gum or eating a lollipop.

The wardrobe fixture of shirts that are see-through in one way or another has prompted speculation as to the scars on his chest. For reasons known only to the other three, he wears stage-grade makeup on his stomach area whenever in public.

Einar is in a relationship with Ketill, which is public, but there be more to that than meets the eye.

His band nickname is Lollipop Lolly and his image color is raspberry blue.

-Viktor "Vikki" Stjarnan, age 36:

Lead guitar. He's about as tall as Glanni, but broader and more muscular, without being bulky. He has dark, almost black hair and usually wears a 90's pretty-bad-boy slightly slicked floppy style; his eyes are dark blue and his facial structure adds to the same vibe as his hair. Generally speaking he prefers to wear black leather, heavy boots, and usually a jacket, with monochrome tops and one or two statement accessories. He also favors cutoff style fingerless gloves. He only has one piercing, right lobe, and one tattoo, the matching GG, by his Adonis belt. He actually has a phobia of needles; Glanni did his piercing when they were teenagers, but it's a mystery how he managed to get the tattoo -or why.

His band nickname is Creamsicle Pop and his image color is neon orange, like his glow-in-the-dark guitar strings.

The members of Rotten Candy also have assigned "flavors", aside from their image colors: in order Glanni, Ketill, Einar and Vikki, the flavors are cherry, lime, blue raspberry and orange. Glanni has two, as the frontman; the second one is strawberries and cream.

Fans of the band are called "Sweethearts", and the band logo is the words "Rotten Candy" stylized inside a glittery yellow sweetheart candy. The glitter is made up of the four members's image colors.

And that's it for now! What do you guys think? I thrive on comments!
