#Max and Gwen were so fucking funny to write

Camp Camp S5E1 opinions (spoilers)

I just watched the new episode of Camp Camp and nobody cares but here's what I have to say, first:

(this is your disclaimer to please watch the new episode LEGALLY and in a way that supports the creators. Even if that means blocking spoilers for a bit so you can watch it for free when it's available. It's a small team, and they deserve all the support they can get because making cartoons is hard!)

All this is my opinion, if you disagree, let me know! I genuinely want to discuss it. If you agree with me, then feel free to vent along with me and we can be excited or dissapointed together. The show qualifies as art and is open to criticism. Also WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE NEW SEASON PREMIERE OF CAMP CAMP!

Ok with all that garbage out of the way, here's what I have to say:

Likes:

• Max’s new voice is pretty good. I got used to it pretty quick. Props to the VA!

• Dolph’s new design is cute. I totally understand why they changed it and the redesign is good.

• DAVID WITH GUN. DAVID WITH GUN.

•I think the idea of the whole camp hating the trio is funny and I kind of wish they made it real even though it went against the point of the episode kind of.

• The part where the trio is shaming Preston and they all move in sync was the one part that made me laugh. I love when they're all being goofy together.

• I liked the idea with the circle in the dirt at first because I thought it was just Max’s way of illustrating a point and I thought it was cute how he included his friends. Started as a nice moment

• Nurf lovingly flipping them off was funny.

• my gwenvid heart was soaring. They were very cute and I wish we got a more overt gwenvid moment as a send-off. Like, it doesn't have to be made canon and can stay subtle but something for the fans would have been nice.

• Gwen’s new voice did a good job. Slightly different vibe to her but it wasn't bad at all. I liked it. It was an interesting change and I didn't mind at all.

• The scene with Max and David’s hike was beautiful and the best part of the episode by far. They're both so in character, they are well-written and their dynamic is so sweet, and the message rings true. It was a nice moment and something I think Max needed to hear.

• “somebody. Fucking. Has to.” GUYS WHEN I TELL YOU I FJGKRNGKRHDNR WHAT A CALLBACK. I wish they made David’s reaction a little longer and made it more of a moment because I nearly missed it at first but once I heard it I got so excited. Really, Max’s whole pep talk in that moment is very good.

• The camera is such a thoughtful and fitting gift for Max because he's struggling with letting go of camp, and the fact he uses it himself too makes it all the more sweet.

• My lil Makki heart jumped when Max came back and Nikki shouts his name. It was sweet, the excitement and joy in her voice. I forgot it was meant to be a joke at first honestly it was so sincere.

• the animation was great! I loved the facial animations, especially on David and Nikki. Idk why those two had such good expressions but I'm not complaining.

• the trio. They're such besties. I'm love them.

• Honestly the fight cloud with Nikki and Neil was fun idk why I liked watching them wrastle. Children fighting is amusing.

• I'm glad Gwen finally got recognized for her talent. It’s a running theme throughout the show that Gwen is more talented and capable than she lets on and this was a fine way to end it. Good for her.

• Whe- WUH- THE ENDING. WHERE ARE THEY GONNA GO FROM HERE? I AM EXCITED AND INTRIGUED

Dislikes:

• opening narration was unnecessary

• wish they introduced Dolph’s new look more organically. It deserves to be it’s own moment.

• why can't Nikki write? She's 9 not 4. She was never stupid.

• plot is all over the place. It's like two or three episodes smashed into one and there's not enough extra time for any of them. It lacks focus. If it were up to me I would have cut out the first half with the social media app and the trio trying to get people to like them. It felt like filler.

• it's just not very funny. There was maybe one joke that made me laugh. And not even hard. Camp Camp is usually pretty funny to me so I don't get what happened. The comedy is all so slow despite the plot being so crammed so I wonder if the delivery was faster if we would have more time for plot. Anyway, they just lacked any sort of setup or punchline. Just nothing jokes.

• Why does Max go along with trying not to be bossy? He clearly didn't care before and the way it's written it isn't implied he's doing it for his friends. It's like he suddenly did care about being liked out of nowhere. I think it would have been funny and made more sense if maybe Nikki or Neil made him play along, like Nikki bit him until he stopped.

• the circle thing. It was a cute idea at first because I thought Max was just making some kind of metaphor, and I thought that it was cute. I wish they kept it like that and just made it a sweet moment of Max expressing his devotion to his friends in his own way but instead they stay in the circle and are just unfunny for a few minutes and then Nikki says they ran away?? Like first of all why are you running away and also no, you didn't run away because you're still at camp. WHY ARE THEY IN THE CIRCLE IT DOES NOTHING FOR THE PLOT AND MAKES NO SENSE?

• I HATED THE CLOSE-UP OF NIKKI’S NOSE SO MUCH IT WAS SO UNFUNNY WHY IS SHE MADE TO BE SO UNLIKABLE FOR THAT ONE BIT JUST SO MAX CAN LOOK AT HER IN DISGUST IT WAS SO BAD

• Is it just me or do they keep playing sad music like... A lot? It just keeps popping up every other scene and at some point it just became funny to me. It's so badly paced out lol

• I mentioned Max’s pep talk was good and it was but also I wish that it was in a better written context. Like, I think it would have been a better end to the cliff scene instead of a way to motivate David to... fight a robot cause... He thinks he can't... Because reasons? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense and I think that it's supposed to connect but it really doesn't.

• Too much Preston. Never liked Preston never will. Why did he talk so much.

• the running gag of everyone being like “oooookay” when the trio assumes they hate them is just... So unfunny omg

• This episode suffers from season 4 syndrome, which was a characteristic of season 4 that I heavily disliked where they sacrifice the outrageous personalities of the characters to have them sit around and discuss life lessons that aren't even that profound to begin with. It's boring, unnatural, and uncharacteristic. At least make it funny. I don't want to see them sit on the ground and calmly discuss basic friendship lessons like I KNOW THAT NOW PLEASE DO SOMETHING INTERESTING.

• I wish David and Max got a better goodbye. I kind of liked David’s line of “That's good enough for me.” but I wish they expanded on it. Maybe have Max struggle to be sincere and make it more obvious that he's trying to act tough and David still sees through it. So he's like “I get that's you're struggling to be sincere so ill take what I can get because I appreciate the effort.”

Overall, it was kind of a mixed bag. It had some very VERY good moments and a lot of good ideas, but I think it was messy and didn't use it's time well, as well as not taking advantage of a lot of potential jokes. I understand that they likely had limitations but they tried to tackle too much with one episode. If I were to change anything I would cut the first half and work on giving the characters a more clear and smooth arc from beginning to end. Pick a focus and stick to it! Still, I'm excited to see where this will go!

Life is Strange: Double Exposure - A Bullet Point Review

Please note that there are SPOILERS BELOW.

The Good:

I had fun! At the end of the day, games should be fun, and I enjoyed this one. I had a good time exploring Caledon, getting to know the different characters, and using Max's new timeline-hopping abilities to solve puzzles.

Max changed in a realistic way - it's been ten years since the first game, so she's 28. She's more confident, less ashamed of her snooping, and more certain of her talent as a photographer. But she still makes really dumb dad jokes, still has that "dreamer" vibe, and still cares deeply about the people around her - even if she has a weird way of showing it.

It had genuinely surprising twists and the story was engaging and kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next.

It's really pretty! The characters are beautifully animated and feel very real, with realistic physical ticks and habits that make them feel a lot more alive.

Dr. Gwen Hunter is hot as fuck. So is Moses.

Chloe is present in the narrative. I'd say she haunts it in a similar way that Rachel did in the first game, and that Max herself did in the prequel. Having Max write her journals to Chloe was a nice touch and callback to Before the Storm. I still don't know if I'd buy them breaking up in the "save Chloe" timeline, but I do think they made a good attempt at explaining why they aren't together anymore. And all the events of LiS are still impacting Max in a very real way. Max does need to be the protagonist of this game, despite what I thought before I played it. (That being said, I think the storyline that makes the most sense in this setting is the one where Chloe dies.)

Finally acknowledging that this is a universe where multiple people have superpowers and that, inevitably, some of those people are going to run into each other.

The set design between the two timelines was really clever and helped signal which timeline you were in. Sometimes it could be tough to keep track of what you said to who in which timeline, but I think that was intentional. It'd be tough for Max, too.

Side note, but: hilarious choice to make it so that you can date Vinh in Dead World, but not Amanda, and you can date Amanda in Living World, but not Vinh. But then, at the end, the timelines combine and you've gotta deal with two-timing people in the weirdest way possible. I haven't played that version of the game (I romanced Amanda instead) but it's a very funny choice.

The Bad:

This game re-treads the same path the first game did. It's self-aware of this retreading, and often uses it to highlight the themes of the story. But it can fall flat. I don't think it was necessary to have Max relive the dark room, even in a limited way. How and why did that happen? Did Safi make her do that? Did "the storm"? It's unclear and it made me more uncomfortable than anything else. There were times it worked - Lucas as a sort of echo/foil of Jefferson, Safi as a foil of Chloe, etc. But there were a lot of times where I was just thinking "hasn't Max been here before?"

For some reason, the color of Max's eyes drives me CRAZY. Other characters have blue eyes, but they don't seem as blindingly, painfully blue as Max's. I also found the animation on her hair a little distracting at times.

Max still follows Victoria Chase on social media, as well as Chloe if you pick the "saved Chloe" storyline. During the final chapter, she receives weird dream world texts from multiple characters from the first game, including Warren. But through all of this, Kate Marsh is never, ever mentioned. In the "save Arcadia Bay" story line, she should still be alive, so I'm not sure why they didn't at least include references to her there. Big bummer, especially when Kate was such a significant part of the first game.

I don't particularly like the ending, or the way it sets up a direct sequel. The post-credits stinger was fine. I felt like the reveal that Diamond has powers came completely from the left field. And I like the idea of Safi and Diamond off on a little adventure to find more people like them. But it made the ending feel very "to be continued..." instead of a more concrete ending like the first game had.

Overall, I had a lot of fun with LiS: Double Exposure. I went in with pretty low expectations because I wasn't sure a sequel to Max's story was necessary. I still don't know if it was, on a narrative level, but I did enjoy the journey.

If you played the first game and can make peace with the Chloe of it all, I definitely recommend it!

Dadvid Oneshot - Father’s Day

You know those cringe-worthy gifts that always appear during and around father’s day? Mugs that day ‘#1 Dad’, and tee-shirts with god-awful puns on them? Max had always found them stupidly funny- and maybe it was because if he’d given them to his father, he’d be laughed at. He knows that it’d never be actually used, or even touched - maybe never even looked at again after that moment. Besides, they were a money-grabber- if his father ever really wanted something for Father's day he'd make him a shitty card with computer paper and washable Crayola markers, rather than buy a price-jaked mug just because it was rewarding something that shouldn't have to be rewarded.

So, he’d never bothered to buy one, nonetheless, look at them when he goes shopping. Though, this time was different. He’d been living with David for a while, and he lost a bet to Gwen. “You, sir, are going to pick something out for David that he will like and appreciate!” she scolds as they walk down the aisles of the supermarket.

There were a lot of things out catering toward fathers, and to be honest, Max had never really thought to look at them- but he knew that they’d show up annually. Toolboxes, mugs, beard-shaving kits, aprons that completely were against the idea of men actually cooking.. oh boy. 

“I don’t see the appeal of me doing this,” Max grumbles, looking at the shelves lined with items. “He’s not my... Dad, Gwen.” “You lost the bet,” she scoffs, “You are sticking to your word!” Max groans loudly, picking up a mug that had something about being the ‘World’s Best’ father on it. “This,” he grumbles, rolling his eyes. He’d put no thought into it at all, but the isle was nauseating, and the lights in the store were becoming too bright to just stand-in. 

“He’ll love it, Max,” Gwen’s voice softens, her eyes lighting up at the poor tween-age boy. He just glares back, “I wonder if he’ll notice that there are millions of mugs just like it, and ever poor excuse of a father will be getting one.” “... I’m sure he won't, pick a card, and let’s go pay,” 

- ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆-

Max sighs deeply, signing the card that he picked up for David. The outside of the card was awfully childish, and the inside had a stupid pun about dinosaurs. It had nothing to do with Father’s Day, and Gwen was actually sure it was a birthday card, but it was the only one that Max actually showed interest in and after all, it’s the thought that counts, right? Right.

 “What’d you write inside it?” Gwen asks with a laugh, staring at the boy in front of her, who slams his pen down on the table. “Dear David, you smell, you suck, you’re dumb, good luck with life, Love-” he clears his throat, “SINCERELY, Max,” he corrects himself, making Gwen laugh loudly. “Right, I’m sure he’ll love it," she responds with mild sarcasm, but she knew that even if that's really what Max wrote, David would love it all the same. Because then it would've obviously came from Max, to be fair. 

Max shrugs, he could care less- or so he says. As much as he hates Father’s day, he couldn’t help but admit that yes, David was the closest thing to a stable father figure that he’d had in his life.. and yes, he was incredibly thankful for him. He huffs, shaking out his hair and grabbing the mug, wrapping it in tissue paper and shoving it in the gift bag, along with the card.

Gwen would not let him lick the card’s envelope shut.

- ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆-

“Gwen is making me give this to you,” Max announces Father’s day morning at the breakfast table, putting the bag on the table. David turns around quickly, his eyes somewhat wide. “What for?” he asks, raising an eyebrow at Max. Max grumbles under his breath and crosses his arms over his chest. “What was that, Max? I cannot hear you!” David says, a smile creeping upon his face. He knew exactly what it was, I mean, it did say ‘Happy Father’s Day across the bag. "It's for Father's Day you fucking jackass!" Max shouts, shoving the bag forward. "Gwen made me buy it for you." "That was very thoughtful of her," David grins, picking up the bag. "I love gifts! She knows that!" David reaches inside pulling out the card. 

He opens the envelope, reading the inside. "Dear David, thanks for always being there for me, it means a lot. You're the best David I could've asked for, Love, Max," he reads out loud. Max's face was flushed with embarrassment, his ears turning red with anger. "Why'd you read it out loud, asshole!?" he shouts, his arms going around himself tighter. "We're the only ones here, Max, besides- it was super sweet, kiddo!" David argues with a grin. Max shakes his head, opening his mouth to argue again, but decides it's not worth it. 

David reaches for the gift, pulling out the cheesy mug. The mug that they made millions of, claiming that they were all given to the best. The mug that plenty of dads got every Father's Day, some even getting more than once in their fatherly experience. Max stares down at the table, refusing to watch David remove the tissue paper from the mug, revealing the 'World's Best Dad' vinyl text on it. David gasps, setting it down against the table. He doesn't say a word, looking at Max, then the mug, and then Max again. "... World's Best Dad," he murmurs out loud, a wide grin on his face. "Don't think too much into it, jackass," Max grumbles. "Gwen made me do it," he repeats, heavy emphasis on 'made'. "It's still so... Kid!" David's eyes well up with tears and he moves over to the grumpy child. 

Max protests as he's wrapped into a loving embrace. "Get off me, David," he grumbles, trying to fight out of his arms. "Thank you, Son!" David grins, looking toward Max for protest. He found none. 

I mean, David was kind of right, Max hated to admit. He'd gotten lucky. He had two experiences with 'Father' figures, and really, David was the best of the options. He was really Max's World's Best Dad. He was Max's Best Dad, even if he wasn't his dad. He was his David.

Of COURSE these are the questions I ask!

💥:Favourite B10 Villian.

💢:Least Favourite B10 Villian.

✏ :What character(s) would you have liked to see more of, or have gotten better writing/screentime?

💥: Fistrick is great just because of the way he is. hes super smart, talks like a gym slash frat bro, is dressed kinda punk, and prbably listens to Insane Clown Posse or something. The Vreedle Brothers are fucking fantastic because of the way they talk even i i only understand half the shit they say sometimes but when i do im loving it. and because they love explosions and its hilarious to watch them bicker with ben and eachother and cus theyre just. so sweet. i would vibe with them. if they were real wed be friends and theyd never blow me up even by accident because were friends Albedo because hes a narcissistic bitch and like. hes not wrong. hes actually pretty justified in his anger. i also like his potential for found family and the whole azmuth is his dad theory its very fun and adds depth Mad Ben cus hes australian and mad max vibes. god i love his stinky sandy ass. eat chrome please maybe itll taste better than the lizards he 100% eats The other Evil Bens too just because (i dont count albedo as a ben) Charmcaster cus shes fucking dangerous and i love when shes talking to her purse or doing evil hot irl shit and also designs in os/ov are BEAUTFUL and even tho i dont LOVE her in uaf she was still an interesting villain. hate her uaf design tho like can you GET more evil disney villain design??? you cant. boring. Herve. his crime is being french. hes a supportive boyfriend tho so hes allowed to exist. 💢: Vilgax. listen. he was a FANTASTIC villain in os and the movie. but after that? they nerfed him, made him the butt of the joke, showed him as stupid, arrogant, and too selfabsorbed to realize what was up instead of cunning and ruthless, made him ask BEN for HELP against zskayr, gave him dramatic monologues, nerfed him again and made azmuth say he wouldnt be able to comprehend the omnitrix??? and had ben trick him with it by pretending hed teach vilgax how to use it??? hello??? he tried to steal it and he was able to atleast once before and USED it. it makes no sense. and the whole Daggon arc was so stupid. os vilgax would never. ov vilgax was a disappointment too, i liked the whole attea and co hunts vilgax ep and the vilgax and albedo team up was good alho albedo would NEVER. hes too petty and bitchy for pulling that shit twice. hed sooner team up with michael or charmcaster. like. vilgax was such a scary and ruthless villain in os and he was threathening, powerful, and actually something to worry about. he frequently hurt people, he stole the omntitrix at one point, he didnt exchange jokes with ben or do oneliners. he was just. brutal. so yeah i like uhhhh. 1/4th of him. the other 3/4ths i hate. i did like the ma vreedle joke but i honestly think it wouldve been more funny if they had kept his original personality, and wouldve shown ma vreedle as an actual villain rather than just a ruthlessly criminal mom Zombozo. he was fine in his debut episode but after that he became overused and his threat level slumped. also both of the circus eps are too similar and i dont like that they essentially reused the plot. hes also just so. boring. he has NO new tricks, no new schemes, no new powers, his design changed a little bit but that was it Liam. sorry but hes just too Comedic Background Villain and i dont like that he looks like a cartoon chicken Maltruant makes this list despite being a good villain and not one i actually dislike, but he was barely in the series and in the last episodes he felt overpowered and it infuriated me. i hate overpowered characters, they feel more like a maladaptive daydream than an actual character. so yeah. overall hes  Hex has never been a favourite, i just dont think hes interesting. hes decent in os but no THAT fun. also??? making gwen think hes hot? the FUCK. man of action i am BEGGING on my FUCKING KNEES Looma. yes shes hot but her entire arc was just her trying to marry ben. bad plot, barely any personality, no real threat whatsoever aside from wanting to marry ben. they offhandedly mention her conquering some city but like my dudes Just Show Us. Show Don’t Mention Once In A Line That Can Be Easily Forgotten Ultimate Kevin 11. decent concept, terrible execution, horrible ending to the plot Azmuth. im putting him on this list because hes a dicka dn also i dont like his characterization in uaf/ov and also becasue of what he did to albedo and malware

✏: Albedo. his entire story needs to go away i know what that frog needs and deserves and its Not That. also he only has like 9 eps? the fuck? give him more. make him bens asshole martial arts trainer whos smug whenever he beats ben and smug whenever ben wins because of what he taught him. the teams hacker/tech support whenever kevin cant or doesnt wanna do something or its just faster to go to him. the weird big brother whose apartment they all invade whenever they need advice or wanna hang out or just wanna get away from home and get some peace and quiet to read a book and do homework. make him cross and doublecross them several times and despite it all hes still stuck on earth and stuck as a human and despite betraying them they still come back to him even when theyre mad at him because the fate of the world and the universe is at stake and they need someone and max just isnt there. he doesnt understand why they come back. he wouldnt have. kevin does though. its lonely and its gotta suck being stuck in a body he doesnt want with noone who cares about him or where he is with a brain and emotions that work against him and make him misaligned with other people. make him someone ben can go to to bitch about azmuth and make him bitch to ben about azmuth and make him bens personal encyclopedia and the first guy he goes to when the omnitrix fucks up. make him gwens personal tutor who he bickers with because theyre both too smart and snotty for eachothers and their own goods, but dont let that stop him from helping gwen finish her homework or study more complex subjects or stop him from encouraging her to go further. she could go to any university if she wants to and there are options in space should she want them. ofc dont remove his narcissism or egomania or personality but give him a character arc and a found family and give him something better than just becoming a mini ben. Mad Ben as well. you cant just take a brutal, fearsome, angry, and plain cruel version of ben and give him no backstory aside from Lives In Desert and Matruant Mentored Him. WHERE is the backstory? i wanna see maltruant actually talking to him, i wanna know how he found the omnitrix and where max and gwen was, i wanna see how maltruant was training him, i wanna see how bellwood became benwood, i wanna see how rook - the upstanding citizen veryone cherises for being just and efficient - became the most cruel person in the universes underling. i wanna see him rise in ranks and see how much hurt he gives and creates before people learn not to fuck with him and i wanna see how much hurt he has to go through to get to where he is and how much it breaks or makes him to have everythng stripped away from him because his own worst enemy is himself and mini self, and how it affects him to not understand how or why, and how just a tiny little metal ring on his arm can destroy and halt all his had work and how hes planning on bouncing back and getting back at prime and 23 and everyone who betrayed him. and preferably hed have a redemption arc too and he has to undo all that grief he caused but he does it anyway because its worth it

⚠️ SPOILERS ⚠️

Finished Rooster Teeth’s Camp Camp. It is another excellent [animated like it’s for kids] not-kids show, also on VRV as well as other platforms like YouTube and their site. So far I have some opinions (spooky) , including but not limited to:

-Max is a mood but his attitude made his parents basically disown him emotionally and physically so maybe being a constant cynical extremely manipulative but sort of caring dickbag isn’t the best idea but it’s his Traumatic Past and Wrecked Worldview. You can’t fool this kid, he fools you. Becomes less prominent throughout the series.

-Nikki, the Nature and Rowdy Gal. Hyper as shit. A child in all senses, Tomboy through the roof. Also a smart, modern and progressive gal, even though she may seem airheaded.

-Neil, just a Science Nerd. More than that, yes, but just that. Socially awkward, but perceptive and socially aware. Also Jewish. Made up all the lore of Hanukkah. Good at robots and science.

“Main characters” out of the way...

Camp Campbell, a mishmash scam of different low budget activities but very fun , polar opposite counselors, and eclectic kids.

- David is too happy to just be a normal super-happy guy, though in S1E12 he does break then get brought back from the brink of something tragic and or horrifying so yay please stay happy. Surprise, David was a shitty kid. Then became instant hyperhappy from being crowned the best. Wild.

Note that David and Max begin to get character traits from each other, with Max being a little less... Max and David doing some underhanded things. Very cool, character development.

“ Stay safe, but take no prisoners.” -David (referring to squirrels)

-Dead ghost kid Jasper, David’s old “Friend”, who got killed by an exploding cave and haunts Spooky Old People BDSM Furry Sex Mansion Island. As well as David’s conscience, even though he doesn’t even know he’s even DEAD. That’s a lot to unpack, huh.

-Nurf, called Gaylord by his inmate mother. Such poetic dialogue but a violent(?) bully. Such paternal caring instincts warring with a traumatic past and sadistic tendencies.Such INTELLIGENCE and EMOTIONS, could be a therapist if he didn’t need one.

-Gwen. Ered. Same chicks but different emotional stabilities. Sorry Gwen. You’ll find a better job,and a better life, and Ered is cool. Gwen is just a Depressed Millennial whose life went nowhere.

Note that Gwen writes erotic monster man fanfiction and Ered is just Cool.

-tf is up with Dolf, subtlety who?? He’s a good and adorable kid with just.. so many hitler references.

-Harrison’s parents are goddamned terrified of him because he basically killed his brother. Made him disappear. “Cursed powers” and all. Nikkis’s mom Candy is a gold digger. Max’s parents signed him up for activity camp with no activity listed on the form because they didn’t want him. Explains a lot.

-Harrison.. what the fuck is your magic? There’s basic card tricks and pulling a rabbit out and a hat but there’s also ELDRITCH UNIMAGINABLY POWERFUL WORLD ENDING ANCIENT MAGIC so maybe you should look into that.

-Preston, Space kid, Nerris, also known as Theater, Space Kid, and DnD.

-Jermy Farts, the gross trash boy who was transferred to Wood Canp after 1 day.. Good riddance.

-Transfer kids were foreign spies, Russian girl was amazing and Kentucky boy is a king. Er, kimchi.

The adults are absolutely screwed up.

-Campbell, the man himself, is serving time for many many many implied international (mostly eastern) federal and general crimes and morally and legally pretty bad Everything. Greedy. ANTAGONIST, yet sort of dim. He just wanted more money, even illegally. Man got a 3-d printer just to make untraceable firearms and can make anything a cash grab. Cool.

HE GIVES THE CAMP BACK TO DAVID N GWEN AND TURNS HIMSELF IN BUT THEN GETS BROUGHT BACK TO CAMP CAMP?? David is the new leader apparently.

-The quartermaster is just a weird guy. Sweet home Alabama. Prevents apocalypses with ancient rituals every other week and collects eccentric trinkets. Canonically shown to sacrifice goats.

-These ten to eighteen year olds,basically, swearing like semi-pseudo-sailors. Beautiful. Not really.

-the Wood Scouts, or Military Boot Camp.

Petrol, the silent, strong and gentle giant.Snake, basically Metal Gear Snake. Pikeman is covered in acne, self-centered, and just a weird guy. Military everyone.

-The Flower Scouts, Lady Pink Camp.

Note that Tabii with two i’s, Sasha, and Erin became intimidating drug lords, a.k.a. three relatively little girls, competing with Mexican cartels over meth-covered glorified Girl Scout cookies. Guns and all. Then dropped it because they didn’t want to win a vacation to the same place in Mexico the cartel mansion is at. Fucking wild I know.

Sasha may be not even ten because of anti-aging cream. What. An excellent manipulator and incredibly scary. SHE SHIPPED A GIRL TO A SIBERIAN LABOR CAMP OUT OF JEALOUSY. An absolute role model.

Tabii needs some goddamn meds, Erin is heterochromic, smart, and just peer pressured, and Sasha is the popular leader girl.

Okay, so Daniel the cultist and light palette swapped David. Blue eyes, platinum blond hair. White clothes. Neat curvy sacrificial dagger. Never blinking, cracks his neck a lot. Generally creepy and murdery for Ultralord Xemüg. Infiltrates camp three times and is poisoned or fooled. Plays the fiddle like the devil, and can sing. Perfect facade. Sounds like, and can look like David too. Tried to kill everyone,and Max. Excellent fandom fodder for fellow Antagonists.

Quartermaster and Daniel have the same curved dagger.

Overall, 9.5/10 not enough seasons. Can fool an adult who doesn’t already know into thinking it’s a legitimately appropriate show. Funny. I’ve actually laughed.

Did I forget anyone? If I did then they’re not worth remembering.

gillian jacobs, joel mchale, and any other community cast of interest + 👥

SEND ME AN FC + 👥 TO SEE A CHARACTER I’D etc etc

gillian jacobs

I rly love the idea of her in a Pagliacci role!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like her vibes during her depressive episodes in Love really radiate that suicidal clown energy and I would def play her as a small time comedian who tells herself that she’s constantly chasing near-death situations in search for material and not in search for oblivion.

also she’s been in so many raunchy movies that i feel like she could definitely play a nymphomaniac. and this is maybe an unrelated tangent but,,,  you see a lot of promiscuous female characters in the rpc, but i’ve never seen one who’s actually interested in sex..? usually the trend is female characters who feel unloved and use sex as a fill-in or gateway to a sense of intimacy. and this isn’t any shade at, like, nina’s character zelda or yam’s character nikki (especially because i use the same trope with my character genie), but when you combine all of the muses with this characterization together, i feel like we as a community accidentally enforce the idea that women don’t get titillated and just use romance as a bargaining chip for love?? 🤪 

idk maybe it’s just my experience but i always see the love-starved harlot more than any legit horny girls so lets get more of those and lets use gillian jacobs for the roles because thinking about it now i’m pretty sure that even her character on Love has that same characterization. damn

joel mchale

I’m determined!!!!!! to use him for something!!!!! 

my first priority is gwen’s rp americana; originally i thought he would be good for The Professor bt i haven’t had any rly novel ideas to bring to the table for that skeleton yet and i wanna avoid using him in the same career as his Community character. plus i think i’d want to play him in a skeleton that compliments him being like 6′5″ and jacked. hes also rly.. aryan looking… so he could make a perfect Detective if i can get over my hang-ups and play a cop in remotely good faith. but failing that i might end up applying for The Suspect w/ him.

on the flipside, I feel like he’d be rly good for a p.i. character that’s been floating around my head for a long time but whom I haven’t rly had the chance to develop bc I’ve pretty much just been in college rps for the last half a decade. woulda considered this muse for MW if i wasn’t already planning to bring in tom/sal.

that character is a Hunter S Thompson type— tragically optimistic and repeatedly outraged every time mankind disappoints him; constantly trying to believe in the best of people in an industry where he’s dealing with the most depraved individuals. tried to unionize his private investigation firm (love the futility of trying to organize behind the back of the boss of a band of snoops) and wound up getting underhandedly fired so he had to go independent. hardened more in demeanor than heart; numbs the hell of being repeatedly let down with a rock & roll lifestyle that he should’ve outgrown in his thirties. still clinging onto a Gen X obsession with authenticity that obnoxiously makes him roll his eyes at any cashier who smiles and tells him to have a great day. comes across as crass and tactless, desensitized to vulgarity and clumsy when it comes to tenderness despite perpetually yearning for it. compulsively anti-authority to the point of impairing his judgment at times; easily manipulated by anyone who portrays themselves as an underdog. probably comes from a family without a nurturing female presence; could definitely picture him with a businessman younger sibling whom he resents because they’ve “sold out” (read: they’re flourishing financially) while he’s 48 years old and has no sheets on his bed because it’s been a week and he still hasn’t taken them out of the dryer and he keeps passing out on the couch anyway so he’s not really thinking about it.

The biggest struggle in using McHale for this character is that he’s a little too fratty and it’s hard to picture him as this chainsmoking gonzo. but i try to play fcs against type and i feel like he always gets cast as characters who are wealthy/charming/two-faced/detached/nihilistic, and this is definitely as far away from that as i can get. maybe ill do a deep dive into his filmography and find something where he wasnt playing a white collar hunk or douchebag. idk…,,we’ll see. maybe ill use a completely different fc for that character and use mchale for one of the americana skeletons instead?? idk i havent gotten that far yet but i cant stop making gifs of him i’m having so much fun i want to use him so bad idk

one last option is like… ever since those reddit stories got popular, ive always wanted to play a search-and-rescue officer for a national park? and i feel like he almost has forest ranger vibes in the later seasons of community when he has the beard. i dont know where i would play this character but to be fair i have literally no clue where i would play a private investigator either so it’s. yeah

donald glover

i played him back when i used to write in rly wild and campy/comedic supernatural/genre plots!! the original conceit of that character was a law school dropout who swindled an eldritch demon out of his almighty powers, but had such low motivation in life and such a one-track mind that he never thought to use it for any kind of world domination, and instead tried to use it to win back and impress her by giving himself a promotion to manager of the bowling alley he worked at, or make her life without him seem subconsciously bleaker by doing innocuous bullshit like making her breakfast cereal have less marshmallows in it than usual. i don’t know if i would revisit him, but if i did it might be fun to have him have a jackass genie type of relationship with another character in a 1x1, or drop the supernatural aspect entirely and reimagine him as a burnout who suddenly inherited a huge amount of money, only for it to gradually be revealed that it came from some shady means, or something. i don’t know. fucking love his tag on my blog though

alison brie

I think one of the reasons I resent Annie Edison so much is because you can tell Dan Harmon was too obsessed with her to let her be the butt of any jokes or make her look bad in any way, and so even though Alison Brie is an extremely charming and funny actress, she never got to portray any really human or interesting flaws, because all of Annie’s negative traits were just the kind of corny weaknesses you list in a job interview (she’s just too driven!!! a perfectionist to a fault!!~~) and I think that by season 3 she became the thing every viewer was worried Britta would be in the pilot (boring moral compass of a carrot dangling in front of the male protagonist to motivate his character growth). And it just feels like a waste of an actress who could easily find humor in an uglier character and make them sympathetic. So I genuinely want to do something like that with her, like make her a former activist who completely sold out her morals for a gig as a commentator on a corporate news outlet or working on softening PR for some Raytheon or Lockheed Martin type of company. I also love villains with her mousy-petite-big-blue-eyed disney-faced look who are more perniciously manipulative and unsuspecting, so I’d love to do that. 

on an unrelated note: she looks sm like natalia dyer and especially after she got really skinny circa 2016, she would be a rly good timeskip cast for the older, strung-out version of my character max? 

wld definitely gif brie in Sleeping With Other People & How to Be Single & Community s5 + s6 if sage and i ever went through with that timekip plot or if i ever found a place to play a conniving daffodil.

Review (kind of) of Squirrel Camp

SPOILERS ALONG THE WAY (You knew that)

TIMESTAMPS ALONG THE WAY (A lot of them)

Aw man, what happened to legitimately happy and didn’t-just-see-David-as-a-cheerful-nuisance Gwen? :<

~

(0:26) Why not make one- I MEAN WHAT!! 

~ 

A smiling, sparkly-eyed Max makes me so happy that I don't even care that it's over poking a corpse! :D

~

(0:46) First time I agree with redhead- I mean, Nurf. A vacuum does not make a robot. But considering this Neil, he probably modified it or some shit. 

~ 

(0:58) Space Kid, sweetie, not the time to smile, dear. ~ (1:01) How can those woods contain so many goddamned squirrels?! And for some reason, I find that pleasing and funny to watch?? Just- A bunch of squirrels flooding out of a forest is funny and nice to my brain?

~

(1:06) Space Kid, thank you for listening. Also, oh yeah, they fucking snatched QM.

~ 

(2:21) Oh for fuck's- Please tell me this isn't just going to be a throwaway line in the episode. XD 

~

W H Y  D O  I  L O V E  T H I S  S O  M U C H ~ (2:40) * CONFUSED AND WORRIED SCREAMING FOR DAVID’S SAFETY* ~ PRESTON, OH MY GOD, YES!! ROAST THE SCIENCE NERD! PRESTON IS GETTING SO MANY GOOD MOMENTS IN THIS SEASON, AND I FUCKING LOVE IT! Seriously though, I can’t tell you how happy that line made me. XD

~

Space Kid? Nah, Nah, Nah, SQUIRREL KID! (I’m 99% percent sure everyone else has made that joke but oh well lmao.) Also, Preston can somehow make any pose sassy, fight me on this. ~ (4:16) Is the Squirrel a girl, or is this a gay squirrel- Why am I questioning squirrel sexualities?? ~

(4:26) Leave the baby alone, meanies, he’s 8, probably... ~ This is so funny to me?? Squirrels mocking the campers while dressed as them?? ~ Urgluch... What fucking D&D company is naming their monster shit Urgluch?? ~ (6:03) How would describe Neil’s face? Surprised-Offended? ~ (6:12) I’m only 40% surprised that Neil writes scientist fanfiction. ~ (6:42) Nerris teasing Neil about his odd hobbies is great. ~

THAT IS SURPRISINGLY SAD. Not for the robot, but that Neil created a robot to be his friend that says comforting things because not saying Max and Nikki are total pieces of shit, but those two aren’t the most supportive of friends. Now I feel bad... ~ (7:36) Those eyes are staring into my soul, and I feel uncomfortable... ~

Max has a fucking pipe, Nikki has deer antlers, Preston has a three-pronged stake, Harrison- Harrison trusts his magic enough that he thinks he’ll be able to do this on his own. *excited squealing* ~ (8:39) So many questions... ~ (8:52) QM is Thor. Fucking Thor... ~ (9:07) This is actually something a 10-year-old would say reacting to that. When I first saw that image, I thought Max was reacting to someone getting beaten to a pulp or in a heated argument. But no, he's just watching a really awesome fight scene, maybe I’m looking too much into things.

~

I find it surprising that they just gave up the camp and were ready to build a new one so quickly. Like damn, not a second thought. They’ve owned that place for years but they just went, “Fuck it, let’s get to work.” ~ And to conclude this review, I shall say I really enjoyed this episode! :D It was a mix of epic, funny, and just all around pleasant. The fight scene was rather odd, despite how short it was. I’m curious what else Neil wrote in that journal, but I guess we’ll never know. Space Kid was really sweet and adorable, and Preston even though he wasn’t on very long, is amazing. 10/10 I still really want to meet this kid!

Is this the end of the squirrel arc for Quartermaster? Who knows! Find out next time on Dragonball- I mean, Camp Camp!

[tempestshakes01]

happy and anxious. 

happy because i love my apartment and i love Lil Cup of Joe. he is a terror and the sweetest boy ever, and i feel so much love for him. this is why i can’t be around an animal for an extended period of time. i will die for any creature i get attached to and lil joe is now my baby. 

but i am anxious because i put of working when my brother brought home a puppy. he didn’t ask me to, but he’s an idiot who’s never home and bought a puppy to make him come home. i gave him 3 days and when his habits didn’t change, joe was being left alone and untrained, and i needed a running buddy--well, i took over. joe’s now potty-trained and knows a few (one) command. i take him everywhere to socialize him. he’s mine. but i’ll never say that to nick. who still needs to go therapy. i don’t know him. i don’t know what goes on in that head of his. it’s like we switched personalities in our 20s. i went from the quiet, serious type to basically a manic 13 yr old boy. he went from a wildly charismatic clown to a brooding hipster. what makes him laugh? what is he thinking? what is he passionate about? how does he talk to other ppl for hours but he can barely speak to his family for more than half of one? what did we do?

i got really angry the other night thinking about the fights i’ve had with my parents this past year. 

1) washington d.c. - mom and i got into to it in front of the fuckin white house at dusk. i was so emotional and upset at being there, right there where trump fucks over our country, and my mom was being...well, the woman fox news molded. i was furious and trying to keep it nice, so i asked if we could just stop. stop talking. i was gonna blow up. and my mom was like, “why do we stop when you say stop, but when i ask to stop, you continue?” which...is it true? i didn’t think so, and because i can’t keep my mouth shut, i argued until i walked away. i walked into the crowds and then i kept walking. i kept walking. i kept walking.  

it was terrible. i texted her “i’m gone” and i left. 

i forgot the details but i wandered that area of d.c. got a coffee. tried not to cry. and then...remembered how much trouble my mom’s phone was giving her, that her gps apps weren’t being accurate, that she wasn’t confident at the metro, and that it was now dark. that she was alone in an unfamiliar city with a camera bag strapped to her screaming “i’m a tourist!” 

i felt like utter and complete shit. it was one of the most despicable things i’ve ever done. later, i told some people and they were like “she’s a grown woman! you were both upset!” but no. i can’t make excuses like that. i knew that my mom was scared. i burst into tears. a crazy sobbing girl in the middle of d.c. i immediately texted her and told her to get back to me when she got to the hotel. 

an hour later, back at the hotel, my mom couldn’t even look at me. couldn’t speak to me. i knew i had to apologize and i did, wording it carefully because i walking on a minefield. i again blocked out most of the conversation, but it quickly dissolved into a mess of confessions. i was wrecked. at first because of what happened, but as our conversation turned into an argument, i became furious again. over how she interpreted some of our interactions. over how i “blamed” her for my anxiety and anger. i told her i got my anger from her. that i was slow to it like my father, but when something lit inside me it burned bright and hot and deadly like her. that her grudges and cold shoulders hurt me so, so badly when i was a kid (which she then explained wasn’t a grudge, just her processing her anger...but that was way, way into the night). oh god, it was so bad. so bad. she confessed how she felt about all us kids. told me about her problems with andi and nick. told me she wanted to move away from us. told me she didn’t want a relationship with me or them if it was going to be like this. 

i didn’t sleep. just cried and cried. like i did when i was a kid. sobbed in the bathroom and then under my covers. we barely talked the next day, but it slowly became okay. i didn’t know how to explain how much i loved her, so i tried to show her.      

in the end, we were ok enough. 

2) driving 30 hrs across the country - my dad and i were talking and he told me how he didn’t get us, and that we were hurting mom by rejecting her or something. he was upset and my dad doesn’t get upset, so i got upset and moody. and he was like “why are you like this? just with me? just with us. you’re so cruel.” and i knew it was true but it still took me an hour to snap out of it. and i apologized. 

--

but i feel sometimes angry bc i got the emo dump from both my parents. about both my siblings! and they don’t even talk to them about it! my parents don’t even touch nick anymore! they leave him alone because it’s easier that way and he wouldn’t listen even if they tried to talk to him! and my sister would get super huffy and feel judged and act out in some way and take the kids! so. i get it but i hate it!!! because i got the feelings dump! i got the tears and the hours of psychoanalyzing why we are the way we are! and i hate that i feel burdened by it sometimes?

 i want to be there for my parents but sometimes i’m that petulant child that still wants a mommy and daddy, not two parents who are human and exist with their own emotional life. and that’s so unfair to them and wrong of me, but i feel that way because i’m the child that gets this brunt of this side of them.  

but it’s because in my own way im the most difficult and this shit spills out when i push them. 

--

my parents (mostly mom) are only getting more set in their ways and defensive of their opinions. my mom...my mom who taught me so much about art and the world and appreciating different cultures and music and lived life with such vigor and wonder...i can see that fading and hardening. she’s stubborn about what she like and doesn’t have much interest in anything new. she’s offended and hurt when i gently bring up her how she used to be. 

my dad’s always been this way. very traditional, but kind. spoiled, but hardworking. likes what he likes. but he’s eating more greens. he’ll try what i make because i made it. we listened to latino usa and old radio lab podcasts that whole drive from wa to tx, and he loved it, and we discussed the episodes. and i loved him so much because he gave them a shot and we connected. 

but my mom. my mom. i miss her and she’s right there, but she’s not. and i know i’m part of the reason she’s retreated into herself and her more ‘sturdy’ beliefs and the friends who share them. she’s so quick to judge and harsh about it these days. is it age? is it us? is it this horrible world?

--

i came home to this. i came home and how quickly people change bc i didn’t expect my mom to be so old. in spirit. she’s tired. she doesn’t trust me. we’re working on being gentle. i’m working on not being so quick to anger.

my dad and i...i’m thrilled we’re getting along so well after i treated him like shit during the ~separation years~ between my parents. i was awful to him and he knew why, but he never called me out on it. 

my sis and i are fine. i’m so relieved she got out of that last relationship with that TERRIBLE PERSON and came to her senses, and somewhat grew up. we kick it. she cooks for me. we don’t completely jive cause she’s hood, but can code-switch between worlds, and i’m suburban through and through, so i’m not as cool or smooth as she is. i’m her dorky weird little sister and i appreciate her love for me. 

my brother? a mystery. a complete mystery. 

and i’m reminded of how he called me on my birthday and started weeping and asking about therapy and saying he’s sorry he never believed in my anxiety because it’s true--you don’t ask for, you don’t know why it appears, and it wrecks you. and he deals with it now for no discernible reason and he sounded so, so broken over the phone that i was shaking and crying when we hung up.

but now he’s as chill as ever and takes minimal care of his puppy because the 1st dog he got was pretty hands-off from the jump, but she was grown and pooed and peeded everywhere for months (he says no, but that’s selective memory), so now lil joe is mine and i need to get a job because the lack of structure is killlllllllllllllingggggg me. but i don’t want to leave lil joe :( 

--

it’s funny how i never set out to write all this shit, but it comes spilling out. 

huh. wait.

i left and i worked on myself but then i missed my family.

did i come back to work on the family? to work on my relationship with them? is that my purpose here and why i felt compelled to return?

--

went climbing with GA. i was totally afraid of falling and bouldering isn’t as fun to me as top rope, but i wanna keep at it. 

trying to set something up with B and A. my buds. i love em. 

gotta set something up with L because I have a feeling we’ll be good friends here. and weirdly, BG contacted me even though I haven’t talked to him since college? and even then we weren’t that close. he was just inching toward asking me out and never managed it.

--

fav emmy looks: zendaya (obviously. omg, whatta babe), maisie williams (whatta look, suits her perfectly, killed it), gwen christie (whatta jesus babe), that girl in the billowing mint green dress, anddddd clea duvall (a babe in a tux). 

vm continue to make me sad and hopefully things go well with tour for them. it’s nice to see them getting along with charlie and tanith. with bby charlie and tati and max’s kid coming along...oh boy for scott’s emotions. he’s gonna ignore the HELL out of those sad feeling for what couldvebeen with tess and he’s gonna plan hard for his and j’s future offspring instead. (can i also predict that i think one thing scott’s gonna have trouble with in his marriage--oddly enough--is keeping the marriage a partnership and not bulldozing over his spouse with his wants and needs ...wait, that’s not odd lol) 

--

anyway, gotta take joe out to pee. gotta get to bed soon because i wanna be on the trails by 7am and then maybe to the climbing gym. this face maybe a potato but my body can improve! (i’m thicc at the moment thanks to texas food 🤧) 

[cornfields-and-bad-dreams]

Could u write some makki? Maybe nikki apologizing for making fun of mr. Honeynuts? I live for fluff

Max sat with his back against a tree, it had been an hour since Gwen and David left, which also meant it had been an hour since everyone found out about Mr. Honeynuts.  Tears welled in his eyes, threatening to stream down his cheeks, but Max held them back with all his might.  The sound of someone approaching from behind startled him, and the thought of tucking the bear he currently held tight to his chest out of sight crossed his mind, but what was the point?  Whoever it may be, they already knew of its existence.  As if on cue Nikki popped out from around the tree.

“Hey, Max.” a large grin enveloped her face as she noticed what Max was holding, a stifled laugh slipped past her lips. “Nice teddy bear.” she forced the words through a chuckle.

“His name is Mr. Honeynuts.” The words came out low and quiet, an instinctual response not truly meant for Nikki to hear.  As soon as the words left his mouth, Max regretted them.

“You named it Mr. Honenuts?”  The laugh that erupted from Nikki nearly brought her to her knees.  Desperate gasps of air arising between chortles.

The presence of Nikki and her unwelcome howls of laughter were pushing the floodgates of tears Max held back closer to bursting.  Standing up quickly Max stood in front of Nikki.

“What’s so goddamn hilarious?  It’s just a fucking teddy bear.”  Nikki’s laughter began to dissipate quickly, as the surrounding tone took a sudden turn.  Opening her eyes, which were previously closed tightly, Nikki wiped away her tears of joy and abruptly became aware of the upset look Max held.

“I don’t know, it just is.”  the last part came out more as a question than a statement.

“I don’t think it’s funny.” It was now that hot tears began to fall, slowly trickling down his cheeks and dripping off his chin.  Wiping furiously at them Max started to move, pushing past Nikki as he headed deeper into the woods.

Frozen for a moment Nikki watched Max retreating before moving to stop him.

“Wait.” Nikki reached for Max’s shoulder, halting his departure.

“What?” Max snapped turning back to her.

“I’m sorry.  I shouldn’t have laughed.”  Rolling his eyes Max turned to leave again.

“Whatever.”  Grabbing Max’s hand Nikki pulled him back.

“I’m REALLY sorry Max.  You’re right it’s not funny.  Let’s just go back to camp and forget this happened.”

“No.” Max tried pulling back but Nikki’s grip on his hand only tightened “I don’t want to forget this happened, besides if I go back to camp everyone else is gonna keep laughing at me.”  Max’s tone was a mix of anger and fear, Nikki felt very sorry for Max.

“Then can I stay with you out here?”  

Max’s grip on Mr. Honeynuts increased as he thought.  Looking at Nikki again it really seemed as if she was remorseful.  Max gave a sigh.

“Fine, I guess you can stay with me.”  Jumping up and down Nikki shook Max as their hands were still interlocked.  Realizing this they both let go with a blush.

“Sorry.”  A sheepish smile overtook Nikki, something that seemed slightly out of place for her.

“It’s fine.”  Max turned away, not wanting her to see his flushed face.  Max moved to sit beneath his original tree again, Nikki following in pursuit.

“So why’d you name him Mr. Honeynuts?”

Max snickered lightly as both he and Nikki settled beneath the large pine tree.

“It’s just what I’ve called him for as long as I can remember.”

Max began regaling Nikki with his memories of Mr. Honeynuts, a smile all the while present on his face.

[snexy-the-snail]

Let's get ready to rumble

"Haha missed me!" One of the kid's call out, making Daniel roll his eyes as he watches from the sidelines leaning against the mess hall. It was hot out today and the kids managed to convince David to buy some water balloons and some water guns of course. Everyone was getting soaked, well with the exception of Max who people left alone for the most part.

"Ha that was weak as shit David!"

He did have to admit it was amusing watching David trying to hit at least one of the kids, Gwen laughing as she nailed him in the face. The red head laughed it off and just kept going, using those endless supplies of energy.

Daniel never saw the appeal of water balloon fights, that wasn't for him. He didn't even have a bathing suit on and who was okay with wet cotton thank you very much.

"Hey Daniel! What don'tcha come join us?" Ah his favorite camper. Space kid was the kid he trusted the most to not tattle on him for snacking on campers, and was a cute little snack himself.

"Ah no. I'd prefer not to." Daniel says with a small frown. He made the mistake of looking down, Space kid pouting and looking up at him in disappointment. "Ah come on Daniel, it'll be fun!"

He sighs heavily and found his resolve crumbling, "Alright. But don't expect a lot from me." He says trying to hide a smile as Space kid cheered and dragged him into the war zone.

For the most part the war ranged on with him, no one really taking notice of him until David finally hit someone. The fighting paused when everyone saw who was now sopping wet.

"Oh gosh Daniel I'm so" "holy fucking shit that is priceless!" Max barks out, his laughter causing a few scattered giggles before mostly everyone was laughing at Daniel's misfortune. David was snickering as well, covering his mouth to try and hide his smile.

Daniel didn't deny it was funny, it actually gave him a warm feeling when everyone was laughing. He grins widely and grabs his own water balloon, ready to play their little game.

"You're such a wimp dan-ack!" Max never got to finish his sentence, water exploding all over him, soaking him completely. "Oh you're on fuck tard!" He cries. He smirks as Neil and Nikki flank his sides, ready to launch.

Daniel chuckles and arms himself before the kids give chase. Everyone having the time of their life as they hit each other with water balloons and made alliances with others, all the way up til lunch time.

It wasn't long before he realized he had an exhausted Space kid on his shoulders and was talking with Harrison that he realized how close he had gotten with the kids.

It looked like these little shits were his family now and he was strangely okay with that.

((Ahhhh i try to write for i cannot sleep. Dont be afraid to request stuff I love shit like that)

Top 5 atps

Reminder that atp means "any true pairing" since honestly none of us are limited to just one lbr

I was tagged by @grizzlegreertrash (thanks :D)

#5. Juladrien and Julinette (Miraculous Ladybug)

These pairings are tied at 5th. Juleka/Adrien and Juleka/Marinette. I like these purely bc of a fic title Powers of Invisibility by yestomiraculous an ao3. Which is funny bc it's a julerose fic. Weird.

I just really like the fanon representation of Juleka, so I ship her with the main characters

#4. NaruIno, NaruTen, and NaruTema (Naruto)

Naruto/Ino, Naruto/Tenten, and Naruto/Temari. I just really like these. Once again, I like these girls so I ship them with the main character. That's what I do. There are some adorable fics out there that sold me on them. So these are at 4th

#3. Huna and Harmony (Harry Potter)

Harry/Luna and Harry/Hermione. I love them both, but I don't like them as a polyship. Fancy that. But I love both Luna and Hermione (just not together...) So I ship them with the main character

#2. Lancaster (RWBY) and Alyadrien (Miraculous Ladybug)

Good ole Ruby/Jaune. This has been my ship since 2013 or so, when RWBY started. Now, note that I love a lot of ships in RWBY. I ship Ruby with a bunch of different characters. I ship Jaune with a bunch of different characters. It would be easier to list prominent characters with whom I don't ship them. But this ship is at the top.

And Alyadrien. This ship resonates in my soul. I don't even know why. Like, they kind of have a chemistry? They have potential? I don't know. I just fell in love with this ship out of no where. Help.

Honorable Mentions:

Max/Nerris (Camp Camp)

David/Gwen (Camp Camp)

Jaune/Weiss (RWBY)

Izuku/Hatsume (My Hero Academia)

Peter/Shuri (MCU)

#1. Plance (Voltron: Legendary Defender)

Weren't expecting this were you? Actually, if you weren't then you must be new to my blog. Like very new. This fucking ship. I love both of these idiots. Look, y'all know I ship the characters I like and/or crush on with the main characters by now. Just look at my list thus far.

Well I love these two. I have a pathetic fictional-character-crush on each of them. And they're both main characters. AND I relate to both of them. Do the math.

... so yeah

I've had a blast writing for these ships. I'll continue to have a blast writing for these ships. Check out my fanfiction. I've been told they're enjoyable.

When I said “last day of summer camp” I meant for a makki fanfic lmao

oof. Well here you go *cough at like 2:45 in the morning cough*This is going to be the most wildest fic I’ll probably ever write. Maybe? Eh I dunno.***The sun rose gently over the tree tops to the camp. No one was awake. Everyone was asleep.Except for Nikki of course.She was sitting in the mess hall by herself while staring solemnly at the wall that held a calendar. It had the days marked off until one day was left.August 10th. The day right before they were sent off to school. Or the day where this hell hole of a camp ended and they were sent home.Nikki sighed, laying her head down on the table. “Today’s gonna be short.”Bang.The girl looked up quickly to see Max barge into the building with a giant smile on his face. “COFFEE. BLACK BROWN WHO GIVES A SHIT JUST GIVE ME COFFEE.” The Quartermaster appeared behind the counter where food was served, nodding before disappearing back around the corner.The boy was still smiling until he turned to see Nikki looking at him from a table. He jumped a bit, grabbing his chest in surprise.“NIKKI. What are you doing up so early?”“Because it’s the last day of campppp,” Nikki groaned, pulling her head up from the table. “And I don’t want summer to end.”Max came and sat beside her, sighing. “Nik, everything has to end. Even this hell hole. I’m honestly happy to be leaving this place.”“What?!”“I’ve hated this place from the start!” Max facepalmed. “Nikki the camp will still be here you know. Just come back next year.”Nikki stared at him. “ I’ll have to wait over 300 days.”“...well you have a point.”The Quartermaster came in between them suddenly, making them jump with gasps. “Coffee with sugar.”The old man walked off back to the kitchen, disappearing once again.“Y’know,” Nikki began, “even if i don’t want camp to end, I’m pretty sure I will not miss that.”Max nodded In agreement. “Yeah that’s literally—“The doors opened loudly again, making the pair start. Campers poured into the mess hall with frowns and bags under their eyes.Neil walked toward them and plopped down, banging his head on the table. “Dammit.”“Jesus everyone is looking half dead,” Max commented, flinching when Nerris fell over Harrison. “I mean... I know it’s the last day but jeez...”“Max you aren’t helping,” Neil retorted. “You’re the only one happy today.”Max nodded. “You’re not wrong. I mean... I get to get away from this shithole.”“Not the point.”***Max for once was surprised at how the camp counselors basically switched personalities. His eyes were twitching at the sight.Why the fuck is Gwen dancing and jumping around while David is being moody? It’s like a parallel universe.Nikki seemed to notice this too for her jaw was hanging open. “I’m not the only one seeing this right...?”“No Nikki,” Max responded just as mesmerized as her. “No you are not.”“What the fuck is happening?!” Neil exclaimed, throwing his hands out in front of him.“I GET TO LEAVE THIS FUCKING NIGHTMARE!” Gwen shouted, throwing her hands up in the air. “ITS A DREAM COME TRUE.”“It’s the last day of camp,” David muttered, holding a clipboard. “So there are last day of camp activities.”“WHATS ON THE LIST?!”David gave her the clipboard. “You take care of that.”Gwen threw the clipboard instead. “DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT.”Nikki watched at the clipboard flew over her head. “What is happening...”“This happened last year,” Max stated, shrugging. “It’s still gets to me though.”“Who wouldn’t it get to?” Neil commented. “Nobody has—“ the boy looked around to see the campers doing whatever they wanted. “never mind. Well if you don’t mind me, I’ll be being a nerd at science camp.”Max and Nikki watched as Neil sped off to the said place, blinking.“Okay what do you want to do, Max?” He yawned. “You can probably work on the last day act while I—““LAST DAY ACT?!” Nikki jumped excitedly, her pigtails bouncing. “THAT SOUNDS FUN!”“Yeah sure it does now—““C’MON!” Nikki grasped his his wrist and pulled him away from his spot, dragging him.***“Why are we here?” Max grumbled, sitting beside a bush near a hill. “There’s literally no fucking reason.”“There is actually!” Nikki grinned. “Do you have any talents? Show off talents?!”“You sound like David and not any I feel like showing.”“Then I’ll have to guess them!”“You’ll have to do What now?”Nikki raised her index finger with a smug grin on her face. “I’ll guess them!”Max laid down on the grass. “Yeah I’m still not going to tell you.”“Singing?”“Eh.”“Dancing?”“Nope.”“Instrument?”“You’re getting somewhere.”“Uh... triangle.”“No.”“Drums?”“Insulting.”Nikki tapped her chin. “Uh... trumpet?”“No.”“Viola...”“Close.”“VIOLIN!”“Yeah.”Nikki jumped up in awe. “You can play the violin?!”“Yes I can but don’t tell anyone.” “Can you play—“Max sat up quickly, cutting her off. “If you’re asking me if I can play for the camp the answer is hell fucking no. It’s not even that I don’t want to play I don’t want to play for them.”“Then who will you play for?”“No one,” Max laid back down. “No one at all.”Nikki ran back to camp quickly, Max not noticing. Then she came back holding an instrument. “Hey Max I found your violin.”The boy jumped up quickly and snatched the case from her. “The hell did you find this.”“Under your bed.”“I’m not playing for you.”Nikki gave her puppy pot, something she used on Max and only Max because it would only work on him.“Goddammit no Nik not even the pout will work.”“PWEASE?”“No.”Nikki sighed. “Fine.”***“Where have you guys been?” Neil asked, looking at Nikki as she jumped here and there to make sure Neil didn’t see Max what so ever.“In the trees,” Nikki responded. Neil grew a malevolent smile. “Were you guys making out?”“NEIL THATS DISGUSTING!”“Hehe sorry. But Nikki,” Neil turned back to his table. “Harrison told Nerris, like in front of everyone.”“What?”Neil sighed. “That he liked liked her. Last day of camp no regrets.”Nikki gasped. “How did she respond?!”“She hugged him and ran off. That was the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. Dolph And Ered are next. I can bet ten dollars.”“I don’t need to give up money when that’s going to happen,” Nikki shamed. “Besides, what makes you think I like like Max? That’s weird.”“I never said that you like like Max.” Neil grew that smug grin. “I asked if you guys were—“Nikki waved her hand to stop. “Okay you caught me big deal that doesn’t mean anything. Why are you telling me this stuff anyway?”“Because I’m saying you should tell Max too.”“Neil I though you weren’t a romantic.” “I’m not. I just like to blackmail people unless they tell someone what’s going on ha. But I won’t blackmail you. Just yet.”Nikki sighed, looking behind her. David was walking slumped over with Gwen hopping around him like a kangaroo. It was funny actually.And sad. And weird. Mostly weird but yeah.***The sun was descending, ending the campers days. The Quartermaster pulled up a bus and boarded the campers, getting them into their seats.The ride was silent. No conversation at all. Just the sound of the tires on the road and the buses doors creaking open to release the campers.Neil was the next stop, getting up with a quick goodbye to Nikki and Max before walking off the bus.Nikki’s stop was next. She got up and turned to Max. “I have to tell you something.”The bus filled with tension quickly, making the girl feel trapped.“What is it?” He asked, blinking.* “Because I’m saying you should tell Max too.”* Nikki shook Neil’a voice out of her head. She didn’t need that right now.‘You’re going to tell him...’ Nikki thought with determination.She looked at him, his face confused and impatient. He didn’t seem like the type to except something like what she wanted to say so easily.She sighed. “I hope next year you’ll play your violin.”Max blinked as Nikki waved goodbye. He called her name but she was already off the bus so she couldn’t turn around and see what he was to say.The bus drove off in a gust of wind behind her, leaving her coughing.‘Dang it Nikki!’ The girl grabbed one lock of her head and pulled it gently while walking up to her house. ‘Why didn’t you tell him the truth?!’***THE TRUTH HURTS.IM ALSO SORRY IT TURNED OUT THIS WAY ITS 4 IN THE MORNING ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

the stray kids tag

Rules: answer the questions in a new post, and tag 10 blogs you would like to get to know better.

I’ve decided that in celebration of Stray Kids pre-debut album I needed to create a tag. The ultimate goal for The Stray Kids Tag is to learn about your Tumblr mutuals, and have fun answering the Stray Kids related questions!  Here we go:

1: When did you decide to join the Stray kids fandom?

i saw a thread of information abt the suspected nine members before they were officially announced and was like ‘yes i must stan them and love them with all of my heart.’ so uh,,,,, back in august or september??

2: What is your favorite episode of Stray Kids? uhm, i’m gonna expose myself rn and let y’all know that i’ve never actually seen a full episode of the show; as soon as i heard it was gonna be a survival show, i knew that i couldn’t watch it bc my heart was too weak and i was emotionally incapable of becoming too invested while watching it; but from clips, i quite like the episode with the 3:3:3 mission, and also the last episode when all nine were reunited and told they were going to debut together

3: Who would you say is your bias in Stray kids?

my initial one was chan, and they i got rlly confused, and then slowly came to realize that it was jeongin (anything else after that is a fucking mess)

4: Who would you say is your bias wrecker in Stray kids?

literally kill me all of them bias wreck me so hard bUT hyunjin, jisung, seungmin, and chan have been wrecking me so hard in particular lately

5: What line would you want to be apart of in Stray kids? uHHH not dance line bc swimmers have 0 coordination on land; i quite like singing even tho i’m not good at, so probably that, but i can also hit all of chan’s english rap parts in 3racha songs, and keep up with lafayette’s raps in hamilton, and a lot of the english rappers i like too so uh,,, sign me up for rap line too

6: What is the first song you heard of Stray kids? hellevator

7: What is the first song you heard of 3racha? i think it was either hoodie season or runner’s high

8: What is your favorite song on their pre-debut album?

young wings or school life or yayaya (or grr or 4419 or glow or hellevator)

9: What is a concept you’d like to see Stray Kids try in the future?

i love their current optimistic and slightly rebellious teenager concept rn bc its an Eternal Mood; but i always love myself a soft boyfriend concept 

10: if you could meet with the members of Stray kids for one day what would you say to them?

how proud of them i am, and how proud of themselves they should be; i would tell them about how they’re saying things that resonate deeply for their fans and i love that they’re talking abt real world problems; i would also make sure to tell them (chan and 3racha especially) to make sure to rest more, and eat well, and take care of themselves emotionally as well as physically; and finally i’d like to tell jeongin how wonderful he is and that he’s doing so much at such a young age (lmao he’s actually eight months older than me but that’s no the point) and to never lose his cute little smile

finally done!! meri, if you actually read all of this, uh thank you????? i hope you now know everything you wanted to know abt me, and probably more than you wanted to know

i’m bad at tagging people, so if you also made it this far and haven’t done some of these tags, choose one, or a couple, or all of them and do them yourself!! just say that i tagged you!!

[forestwater87]

Rate all the cc ships u can think of from favorite to least favorite

OH BOY okay so there’s … a lot. I might not hit them all so gimme any I seem to have missed if you care about my blatherings. :)

But okay, in order of fave to least (and I went with literally every one I can think of. There are a lot, so many we gotta put this shit under a cut):

Gwen/David: Okay, yeah. Obviously. These are my babies.

(They are incapable of being the grown-up at the same time and I am LIVING.)

I’m a huge sucker for any time a big tough girl and a sweet femme boy date because GAH cute, but I also feel like there’s so much fun to be had with these losers. Her obvious anxiety issues match so well with David’s own, and they have such different ways of handling it that there’s a lot of opportunities to bounce off each other and grow together. Besides, she’s levelheaded and seems to keep him more or less on-target, and while she hates this job she cares about him and wants him to be okay, and it just makes my heart melt when an apathetic character has an exception especially when that exception is a sunshine boy and ahhhhh the cute

It’s basically opposites attract, but with some weird connective tissue in the form of their few similarities.

Jasper/David/Gwen: This isn’t … this isn’t a thing, guys. It’s just some bullshit @hopefullypessimistic84​ and I made up because I ship her Jaspid and she ships my Gwenvid and so we smushed them together like Barbie dolls and made them kiss.

Doesn’t mean I love it any less, though. These three are cuties and I am a fan.

Jasper/David: They’re fucking soulmates. 

Besides, any relationship in which David is the bad boy is automatically too hilarious and sweet not to love. We don’t know a ton about Jasper — and therefore about their relationship — but I could not be more here for it.

Obviously this is either as kids before he died, or as adults in a world where Jasper lives and grew up to be a sweet 90s dood a la HopefullyPessimistic and @sinisterspooks​‘ AU; I’m not about that ghost-child-fucking.

Max/Neil/Nikki: I don’t know how it happened. I don’t know why it happened.

I just know I would die for this ship. 

(Also I’ve named it Makkiel and this is badass.)

Nerris/Preston/Harrison: I’m pretty sure this one is entirely the fault of @sakisketches​? I’m not actually confident these three share any screentime on the actual show, but I love everything Saki’s made for them and now I couldn’t be more here for it.

(Genuinely couldn’t find anything with just them, sorry!)

It’s the kinda ship that makes more sense the more you think about it. They’re the ones with the weird, esoteric, “useless” interests, the kind of things that’ve made them no stranger to bullying. They’re all very competitive, passionate, dramatic … I’d imagine their relationship would be one filled with a lot of clashing, but it’d also be big and bright and beautiful.

Nurf/Petrol: This is another ship that isn’t actually a thing, but @directium​ made me believe. Damn you for making me love Perf. They’re such big strong boys and they deserve better than their shitty camps.

Besides, tell me Nurf wouldn’t be able to understand whatever reason Petrol has for not talking and would be sensitive and able to communicate perfectly regardless. Just try and tell me that wouldn’t happen.

Nerris/Harrison: Honestly, this dropped a little lower on this list while I was writing it, because … Nerris is kinda a bitch.

Don’t get me wrong — Harrison’s a prick too, especially to poor Max. But this kid gets bullied and insulted by basically everyone at camp, and you’d kinda expect these two to stick together because … well, they’re the biggest losers by far (excepting Preston).

That being said, I could see them growing out of their rivalry into a sort of grudging admiration and continuing on from there. Plus tell me these two wouldn’t just be gorgeous when they grow up, in terms of fashion. They’d be the power couple of the century.

(Okay but I cannot let this slide: in what universe is Nerris the true magic kid? Harrison can do literal magic! How did he not win this argument the second he actually set something on fire with the power of his mind?!)

Nikki/Sasha: Another couple where one of them needs to become so much less of a bitch for this to work. But … I mean:

(legit the only picture I could find that they were both in, pfft)

The only thing I’m almost as much of a sucker for than the tough girl/femme boy pairing is the tomboy/girly girl pairing. And if Nikki could corrupt Sasha to the fun of being wild and … like, not just the goddamn worst, it could be adorable.

Gwen/Bonquisha: Okay but. How fucking cute would this be?

Look at that face! Look how starstruck she is! She’d be like a Chihuahua dating a Mastiff; Gwen would go around starting fights and Bonquisha would have to pull her out of them and/or escalate things. They’d be the instigators of so much drama and would watch trash TV and giggle and it’d be sweet as fuck.

And they’d make David’s life miserable in the best possible way.

David/Bonquisha: So that tough girl/soft boy thing I was talking about earlier?

Multiply that by like 200. 

The major reason this one isn’t up there with Gwenvid is that there’s not that much to Bonquisha, and while she’s absolutely the queen of my heart, she isn’t as well-developed a character. Also I think David would spend most of their relationship being terrified of her, because she’s scary and he’s very squishy and delicate.

Nikki/Neil: This one’s the fault of @ciphernetics​, who dedicated about 2 seconds to it in one of her fics and now I’m in love with it forever.

I could totally see Neil being captivated by Nikki’s energy and vibrancy, and she’d have so much fun dragging him along on her adventures. And of course there’s the fact that Neil’s so cautious and levelheaded that he’d keep her from going off the deep end and getting herself killed; they’re kinda like Gwenvid in that way, I guess? Boundless enthusiasm meets snarky cynicism and makes Forestwater cry.

Max/Neil: Despite the fact that there’s an author on Ao3 that basically ruined this ship for me forever, it’s hard to deny these two are either bromates or soulmates.

They get each other. They’re both highly intelligent, oddly protective of their friends, so married to their ideals that it leads to them being massive douchebags to said friends, and just so very sarcastic.

Harrison/Nikki: He’s got a massive crush, right?

And Nikki loves how he can basically (accidentally) summon adventure. Together they’d be unstoppable! Seriously, I’m not sure there’s two people here with such mutual admiration for each other and that’s really sweet. 

Good kids, equally morally questionable, and Nikki could protect him while he summons fireballs to entertain her. It’d be precious.

Max/Nerris: Blame HopefullyPessimistic for this one again. She believes in it hard and where she goes, I must follow.

The fact that these two are kinda abrasive and harsh makes them interesting. It’d be fun to watch them trade barbs — as opposed to the kicking-a-bunny thing Nerris does with Harrison and Max does with Space Kid and David (and Gwen, kinda). They’re well-matched in terms of intelligence and ability to throw shade.

Ered/Nikki: Okay, yes, Ered is manipulative and mean and Nikki’s blind adoration of her is very unhealthy. BUT:

They’d be the most badass couple ever. They’d go on insane adventures all the time, and since Nikki seems incapable of being hurt and Ered’s injured all the time, we’d get adorable things like Nikki carrying Ered’s wheelchair up a mountain and doting over her every time she gets hurt. 

They’d be the beautiful butches we need, and I could see Nikki’s bravery and loyalty really breaking through Ered’s seemingly cold (cool? Ahahaha I think I’m clever) heart until she’d actually stand up for Nikki instead of just using her.

Max/Nikki: Not really my ship (not without Neil to balance them out), but these two are adventurous in a way that Neil isn’t. They have an energy and creativity that means they’d keep up with each other long after anyone else would’ve passed out from exhaustion and pure “guys just fucking stop.” I can see why people like it, even if it’s not my thing.

(But seriously, why not add a Neil? Both of these kids would benefit from a nice, rational Neil.)

Quartermaster/Quartersister: I recognize that this should be at the very bottom of the list, and possibly not even on it for pure oh dear god no. But …

I’m sorry, they’re just too fucking funny. It’s sick and gross and wrong and terrible and god help me I love it so much. You get down with your nasty self, QM. And you murder-bang as many grizzled nasty sisters as you want. I won’t judge (much).

Neil/Nerris: I don’t … really see this?

I do think they could get along; they’re definitely the most aligned in terms of interests, and Neil’s so spindly that even Nerris seems badass in comparison. Besides, Nerris doesn’t seem like the type to have patience for a guy unless he’s falling down appreciating her awesomeness, so in a weird way they’re kinda suited for each other. (And she’d totally get him into nerd culture and they’d rock DnD together.)

Plus, he called her “the Cute.” More than once. That’s might sweet.

Max/Preston: Nope, I don’t get this one.

I have nothing against it, they just seem to … hate each other? And yes, I realize “they hate each other” was the basis for more than one of the ships much higher up on this list, but … okay, I never said this was going to be a rational and well-thought-out ranking. I’m just vomiting thoughts on a page here, and for some reason these two don’t really work for me.

I think part of it is that Preston seems very anxious and high-strung, and Max is laid-back, but in the kind of way where he’d get a total kick out of fucking with Preston at every opportunity. Which is funny, but it doesn’t strike me as sustainable. Max needs to learn how to chill or Preston needs to learn how to chill. At this point in the show neither of them have any chill and I feel like it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

Neil/Tabii: Let me just start by saying that I love Tabii to pieces. She is adorable and precious and everything I need.

Unfortunately, if Neil’s into girls Tabii is very much not his type, and I don’t see a way for this to work out unless Tabii … completely gets an overhaul of her personality? I love this for being sweet and funny and relatable (I can’t have been the only one who had a devastating crush on a boy in his “girls have cooties” phase, am I?), but I don’t see it ever actually happening, you know?

Ered/Dolph: This is a thing? Really?

I don’t have anything against it, I just don’t see what’s there. Dolph having some sort of hero-worship for her is plausible (and admittedly quite adorable), but I’m not sure what they have in common. This could be a case of tough girl/sweet boy, I guess, considering how soft and artistic Dolph seems to be, but I’d need to see them interact more to really have an opinion on it.

Campbell/David: Well, aside from the fact that Ciphernetics with her amazing talent makes me want to believe, I have to file this one under “holy fuck is that unhealthy.”

Because he’s just … the relationship would be absurdly one-sided, the weird age difference notwithstanding, and David’s feelings, assuming they aren’t pure “daddy issues” and extend to … ahem, “daddy issues,” are super confused and fucked-up and vaguely incestuous? (Yes, okay, I realize that this is super hypocritical considering the QM/QS thing, but … what can I say, Quartermaster is an exception to literally every rule.) 

Besides, I can’t help but feel that any relationship they’d have would be manipulative and neglectful on Campbell’s part, and Davey doesn’t deserve that. He deserves someone who looks out for him, and Campbell … is not that. 

Also though, the age difference. Ew. And the fact that Campbell tried to kill him. Double ew.

Daniel/David: I can’t believe I’m saying this for the second time, but I do not support David being with anyone who has murdered children, or has considered murdering children. Just sort of a dealbreaker for me.

On top of that (in case we needed an “on top of that”), he breaks David down into his greatest insecurities and uses them against him, and causes David to make the saddest face I think I’ve ever seen and I actually wanted to cry a little bit, and I cannot tolerate this. Daniel has lost all of my affection and I must hate him forever for emotionally devastating my sonsband in this way. 

So nope, really don’t like this ship; totally get why people like it, but it makes me squirmy in all the wrong ways. This has been very difficult for a couple reasons:

Daniel looks just like David. There is something exceedingly attractive about 2 Davids. Yes, I am garbage. Don’t judge me.

The fan art for this ship is so fucking good you guys! SO GOOD

Campbell/Gwen: Gwen deserves someone who knows her fucking name.

And who doesn’t hit her in the face.

And who isn’t wanted by the government.

Gwen deserves better, is what I’m saying.

Pikeman/Gwen: This could be cute in a Neil/Tabii sort of way, if it wasn’t for the fact that Pikeman seems really …

Really creepy. I’m not saying he strikes me as the weird cross-breed of “Nice Guy” and “date-rapey,” but he did kidnap and beat a child. 

A lot of the people at the bottom of this list are not very kind to children. And have egos the size of Mount Rushmore. And have weird hair poofs.

Counselor/Camper: So this is a fairly obvious one, for fairly obvious reasons. It’s illegal and predatory and gross, and I feel like David in particular would kill himself before he’d ever hurt a child like that, so it strikes me as out of character. (This doesn’t mean I’m not a fan of any of the campers having crushes on any of the adults; that’s cute as fuck. It’s the adults returning the attraction that’s a big fat nope.)

I feel like I should devote a little extra attention to the Max/David ship, just because it’s by far the most popular and in a weird way … I get it? Don’t get me wrong, it’s at the rock-bottom of this list for a reason, but like I said, there’s something sweet about a grumpy cynic and pure sunshine getting together; if they were the same age I’d totally see these two as a plausible ship.

That being said … they’re not the same age. More than the ick factor, I just don’t think there’s much there? I’ve heard people compare Mavid to Gwenvid, and with good reason (Max and Gwen are similar in a lot of ways), but the difference is that David and Gwen can relate to each other as equals, as coworkers and people going through the same general period of life, with the same level of physical and emotional development, and an ability to support one another.

Max … cannot do that. 

There’s a reason the “David adopts Max AU” is hands-down the most popular in the fandom, and it’s because Max needs someone like David. At least while he’s at camp, he needs a father, to be showered in unconditional love and affirmation. The thing is, though, Max can’t return that affection, not the way a partner needs to; he’s not emotionally capable of it. Because he’s a child. 

It feels really weird to spill this much ink to say “I don’t like this ship because one of them is 10 years old and one of them’s a freaking adult,” but Max acts so mature that I think it’s easy to forget how young he really is. He’s a kid, and he needs a dad. David’s an adult, and he needs a grown-up. Even shoving the whole “hey guys it’s pedophilia” thing aside — and I realize that’s a hell of an ask, since … yeah, that’s not easy to shove aside — it’s unhealthy and one-sided. Plus it requires David to be a lot more predatory than I’m comfortable with.
