#Smittys journal

[triffany-lottablog]

This is what I meant by the last post, idk I just think it be fun to write about all the discoveries and then combine this with my interest in entomology and speculative biology (if that’s the right word)

Note since this is kinda gonna go in chronological order, Smitty doesn’t know much about the bugsnax in general so they’ll have funny theories ect :3

Idea: Movers museum date.

Writing anything in the origins comic time is a pain because NOBODY KNOWS HOW OLD ROSE IS

62/100 Days of Productivity!

Today feels like one of those quiet, steady days. Not the kind where everything is easy, but the kind where showing up matters the most. I may not have full energy, but I know I can still move forward, even if it’s slow. I’m allowed to take my time, to move at my own pace, and to rest when needed. Progress doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to happen. Day 7/30 Digital Declutter

Today’s Plan:

Mental Health Check + Journal: Starting with some reflection, setting an intention for the day, and being kind to myself.

Finish Reading Challenge: I’m close to the end, and even a little progress will feel like an achievement.

EV Study: A few pages from Nick Enge and Chalmers. It’s okay if it takes longer than usual.

Race Engineering: Time with Smitty, focusing on the essentials.

Simulink Electric Work: Tackling it bit by bit. Small steps add up.

Fresh Air: A walk later to clear my mind and get some perspective.

University Admin Tasks: I’ll visit a few offices, take care of what I need to, and not rush myself through it.

Some days don’t have to be about pushing hard; they’re about honoring where I am. Today, I’m showing up for myself, even if it’s in small, quiet ways.

Going down yet another random rabbit hole of information (I somehow went from LazyTown to Imagination Movers), I found some more Movers lore, that I don’t think I’ve heard or seen anyone talk about.

Via Internet Archive.

I’m currently typing this at an airport at 5 am and cannot do any thorough analyses as I am running on two hours of sleep 😭😭😭 so, I’ll be focusing on Smitty’s bio since that caught my attention the most.

So, it looks like his journal has an actual name: The Book of Brilliant Things. And just like the previously alluded Movermobile, if it actually appeared in the show (RIP Movermobile 😔), it looks like he would be the primary driver.

I do believe Rich is also capable of driving it as seen in the season 3 intro. I bet Dave would create some sort of invention so it can drive automatically. And Scott— 🧍‍♀️

I’m just mainly hyped finding out Smitty’s journal has an actual name.

There’s also photos that either don’t work or if they do, I can’t save them in good quality ;-;

The Old Version of Move Out for The Imagination Movers (The One Way Door Room) The Wiggles and The Imagination Movers Crossover Fic Because I Working an Rewrite of Move Out for The Imagination Movers (The One Way Door Room) at The New Version of The Wiggling Wiggles's WiggleUniverse

Move Out for The Imagination Movers (The One Way Door Room) The Wiggles and The Imagination Movers Crossover Fic

(Like the title say this a crossover Fic between two of my childhood bands, keep in it that this is included things from my WiggleWorld and my ideas/headcanons about the characters so keep a open mind)

Chapter 1: A One Way Ticket to a Wiggly World:

It was a another day for one of the popular band and the world best problem solvers in some cases: The Imagination Movers

The Imagination Movers is a band that perform everywhere, across places and places while handling and doing a business, and their business is problem solving, they help people with their problems and found a way to fix them in their own ways

In their huge warehouse where they mostly be helping people and hanging out with themselves and some of their friends

Rich, Smitty, Dave and Scott was cleaning up the warehouse that they do every week, cleaning the warehouse, checking every room in the warehouse make sure everything is is good

Checking every room in the warehouse is not a easy job since each room has it own special way like one of them is just a whole beach, one of them is like the north pole, and one of them it their own barbershop, The list can going on and on in this warehouse

The movers been checking and cleaning the rooms mostly all day, entering every door, cleaning in and out, and checking it off of the list

As one of the movers sweeping the floor down the hallway looking up to the room doors and down to floor so he won't trip down, repeating the movement

He across a room that he never seen, he pull out the list again and look at it makes sense it was right, once he noticed that the room that he run by is not on the list he call the others to come to him

"Ummm guys?" The lovable Funny Himbo Scott says, Scott is the one who play the keyboard on the group and able to see through walls and other things with his special Wobble Goggles

The others 3 movers put down their cleaning supplies and their own version of the list and started to ran towards where Scott

Once they got there they look at Scott worry that something happens

"What is it, Scott" Rich asked

Rich is the Self proclaimed leader of The Imagination Movers, who plays the drums with his glow up drumsticks which he use them to draw with Scribble Sticks

"Is something wrong?"

"Yea….I think so?" Scott say he points at the sign to the room

"I think we have a new room that we didn't know or discovered"

The sign has a rainbow cover the sign but instead of the normal rainbow the rainbow only has the colors: Yellow, Purple, Red, and Blue with a picture of earth but it looks different than their earth

"Have any of you guys seen this room before?" Scott ask but the movers just shake their heads and say no

The movers just looks at each other in confusion, one of them Smitty just looks at the sign for a while and think, like if he seem those colors before

Smitty is the oldest member of group, he is a caring but adventurous inspiration cowboy who plays lead guitar in the band and with his journal he wrote and learn anything from picture that can fly out of the book or it plays videos

Smitty look at the sign before looking down at Dave who was walking through the door to experiment

Dave is the youngest member of the group who play bass guitar, and have a fantastic of inventing things when he was playing with the other movers, he has red hat that he use to pull everything out of that

He started to walk towards the door and look at it for a while before reaching to the doorknob and turning it and open the door

The movers look at him in worried as he reached the doorknob and as he opened open the room was show a bright white light that cover everything in the room

He looks at the white room for a while before slowly reaching his hand out and connected his hand into the light, he pull his light out and look at it and see that his hand is fine

"It looks like it safe"

"Yea, but should we go in there I mean none of us enter the room before" Scott say

The movers look at each other before thinking up a idea for this situation, Smitty noticed something and look down, he noticed his little buddy Warehouse Mouse was running cross the floor and up to his shoulder

"What up little buddy?" Smitty asks looking at him as he try to talking to him, while keeping a ear open for any of the movers if they have a idea

"If we know we have the room or not we still need to check it, it apart of cleaning job for the warehouse" 

"Rich is right, we do have to check the room to see it good or not" Smitty replied

"Yea we don't know how long we going to be there in the room and we do have to start the day for today work" Scott points out

The Movers look at each other before hearing Warehouse Mouse speaking and looking at him

"Warehouse Mouse say that he could look after the warehouse while we be in there" Smitty explains

"Are we sure we should let him look over the place?" Rich ask kinda annoyed, Smitty look at Rich with a eyebrow raise before responding

"Yes, he always been here even we leave for the day" he say, grabbing Warehouse Mouse and puts him down the ground

"Now little buddy, we probably be gone for a while so you would look after the warehouse while we are going, here" he pull out some cheese out of his pocket and give it to Warehouse Mouse

Warehouse Mouse cheers and nods at Smitty before running out the hallway The Movers look at each other for a while before looking at the door with the white light room

They just stand there before one of them started to walk through the door, so the others walk in to as all of them went through the door, the door closed itself and the door changed looks

Meanwhile into the "room" The Movers was having a hard to see though the bright white light and since the whole room is white they didn't know what the end of the room

With their hands trying to cover some light so they can see, but so far there was nothing to been found

"Guys, I can't see anything" Rich explain

"Yeah, me too" Dave replied

"If only way we can see though this light" Scott points out, he stop for a while and thought of a idea 

He pull his Goggles down and use them to see if he can see though the light, for a while the goggles wasn't working normally it started off glitching for awhile before it finally went back to normal

"Hey guys, I can see though the light with my Wobble Goggles"

"Ah..good working Scott!" Smitty yells out in excitement

"Quick we should grab and hold each other's arms and let Scott lend us!" Dave explains and so they did they found each other's arms and grab them so that they didn't get lost

It takes them awhile in the white room to found something, Scott looks up and see it, he told the other that he thinks he found a exit so The Movers started back walking towards that

The white light cover their view for a while before slowly colors come back into their views, green alot of green, it slowly forms in trees and bushes, it looks like they are in a forest

"Where are we?" Dave asks

"It looks like we are in the woods" Smitty responded

"But we already has a forest room"

"And I already checked it off the list" Rich jumps in

The movers just shrugs and turn around and walk to the door, but when Scott reach and grab the Doorknob it was gone

He looks down at his hand and see he was holding nothing, confusion full the mover face

"Ummm, guys the door is gone" the others just noticed that once Scott turn around and telling them that, The others got worried before calming themselves down

"Ok movers we need to calm down and brainstorm idea of how to get back to The Warehouse, but first we need to know where are we" Rich explain

Than a loud noise appears it's gets closer and closer to the movers before a big creature pop up behind they slow turn around to see what it was

It was a big black creature that looks like a fantasy creature that you would found in a show, black smoke was coming off it and it looks it was wearing some form of mask

The creature looks down and noticed The Mover and let out a roar, which make The Movers scary for their life which make Rich jump into the red cap mover's arms

The creature was about to attack the red and blue wearing men until something happened, the creature stop in place and let out a painful scream before falling over which The Movers move out of the way

When The Movers was out the way they noticed someone on top, it was a girl who has a bow ribbon on her head and around her hips, she has red orange hair and her hair was up in a ponytail

It looks like that she was sticking a sword towards the creature, she pull it out and jumped off the creature, the creature started to slowly turning in black smoke and soon disappear

"That's weird, they normally don't appear close to the town" The Red haired girl thought

"This is the 4th one this week….I wonder if is…" she thought before she looks up and noticed the four guys

She just looks at them looking at some part analyzing their outfits, their "tools", she try to look see their names closer on their outfits

She decided to put her weapon away but always have a hand on it just in case she started to walk closer to them, she thought they seem friendly so she try to talk to them

"Are you guys ok?" The Red haired girl asks

"Y-yeah we are" Rich get down from his friends arms and dusted himself before answer the question

".... little bit scared" Scott jump in, laughing awkwardly

"Who are you guys? You guys don't look like you are from here, are you from a city or a town?" She asked

"Well we guess we can answer the first part of you question" Rich speak up

"We are….."

"Imagination Movers!" All four of The Movers says, they each tell the girl their names and what they do

"So you guys solve problems?"

"Yea, and now we have a new one we don't know where are we" Rich replied

"Well you are in one of the woods outside of WiggleTown" The Red haired girl responded

The Movers look at each other in confusion saying WiggleTown confuses, The girl just looks at them in confusion until she speaks up

"It probably better if you guys don't stay in the woods, especially if creatures like that thing are in here, follow me maybe the others can help you guys" She say and started walking away, The Movers noticed and started to caught up with the girl

The group walking through the woods, making sure that no harm come, The Movers started to ask The Girl questions

"Actually you didn't tell us who you are" Rich asks

"Yeah, and what was that creature?" Smitty asks 

"And how do you learn to attack it?" Scott asks

The girl started to slowly down a bit but continuing to walking, she slowly turn her head around to face the boys, when make them trip a bit

"I guess I can answer the first question" The girl say

"I am Emma….Emma Wiggle"

"Emma….Wiggle?" Smitty question which make Emma to stop her place, the movers expect Smitty bump into each other and almost fall down, she fully turn around

"Yes?... Have you heard of me before?" She ask hoping that this would make her with where did they come from

"Not technically, but I heard the name before……Wiggles"

"Mmmm you must know about us where you guys come from"

"Yea, but the last time I hear about them there was 4 guys in the group…. not being rude Miss Emma" he points out than quickly caught himself

Emma thinks for a while about that information than look back to The Movers

"Well there is a female wiggle, and I am the first one"

"You're The First Female Wiggle?!" Scott say in shock which make her shoulders go up, The Other Movers noticed it and look at him in kinda disgust, which him kinda upset

Emma noticed them look disgusted and upsetly, she quickly jump in and speak up

"No no no, it's ok, yes, I'm the First Female Wiggle and have been for two decades now"

"...is it hard?" Scott asks

"Is it hard to solve problems for you guys?" Emma responded with a another question, which make the Movers look at each other and whisper which come out a "sometime yes"

"Than there your answer" Emma say with a smile

"What the next question…of yeah the creature, that creature is one of COS"

"Cos?" Dave questions

"Cos is the shortest version of Creatures of Shadows, we don't know what they are we just know that they are creatures that made of shadows and darkness they mostly looks like normal animals like a bird, or wolf, or maybe a bear"

"A Bear?!?!" The Movers yell out worried, they look around, scary for a actual one, but not a minute pass they started to calm down and just laugh for a bit

As Emma continue explain what the creatures are Smitty put out his journal and started writing down the information, as he was writing his journal something happened, as he noticed that he full the page up he turn a page, than one of the pictures started to flicker, glitching

He looks at it confused, he slowly reach out and touch the page when he did, a shock went through him which make him get a headache

"Ah!" He say to himself, luckily no one hear him, he started to feel dizzy for a minute, his vision starts to change color than soon turn back to normal

He focus back on the girl that they just met explaining Creatures of Shadows, she was about to explain that they are attracted to negative emotions until Smitty say it before her

Emma stop walking and turn around to face the movers, she mostly focus on Smitty looking confused

"Y…yea…how do you know that?" She ask

"I…I don't know" he responded confusedly, he scratches his head in confusion, this is the first time that he hear of this creature, he looks down at his journal for a while before Emma started walking again, and The Movers follows

They was close to WiggleTown, once they leave the woods they follow down a path to the town, they soon finally made it to town

"Finally, we're here, Welcome to WiggleTown Imagination Movers!" Emma say and show The Movers WiggleTown, The Movers was in amazings about the look of the town

It looks more like a city than a town, the people of the town was wearing of their own clothes that they all have the same four colors: Yellow, Blue, Red, and Purple

The Movers noticed The Big Tall Building that looks like it was in the middle of the town, They noticed that Emma was walking through it, they look at each other confused than follow her

The Movers look around as they follow The Wiggle, a Bakery, a Big Cafe, A Perform Area, they keep looking at the buildings and the people, until they aride to the building

They enter the building and there was a woman that was walking by until she noticed Emma, just her

The Woman has a ponytail, and wearing something that a marching band wears, some people who was also walking by in the building was wearing something similar to the lady's, it looks like the lady was more detailed and design

"Caterina?" Emma say, The lady looks up and see Emma

"Emma, you are back already?" Caterina say

"Well, I come back early because I need to talk to the other wiggles about something…well multiple of things, do you know where they are right now?" 

"Well today, Simon is with his group in Dorothy's Rose garden, Anthony is at main town cover some issues that we having lately, Lachy is there him mostly is, in his invention room" Caterina responded

"Mmmm, can you call them and tell them that I need to see them quickly, it a emergency" Emma say

Caterina look at Emma for a minute before looking over and noticed the four guys in Blue Fixed it Uper Jumpsuits, she raise a eyebrow before looking back Emma

"I will get them on the way" she say before walking away and started calling the others wiggles 

Emma walk back to The Movers and show them around the building until they walk across one of the green rooms in the building

"Here you guys should be here and chill out while I found the others to help you with your problem" Emma say closing the door before her leaving The Movers in the room

"Well she was nice" Scott say with a smile

"Yeah, but we still don't know exactly where we are" Smitty points out

"We just know that we are in a town that we never hear of" Rich jumps in, The Movers all agreed on that they started to walk around the room trying to think of something

One of them noticed that some musical instruments was laying around the room, a drum, a keyboard, a bass and a guitar, the same instruments that The Movers play, but the instruments was color covered, the guitar was blue, the keyboard was purple, the bass was red, and the drum was yellow

"Hey guys, Look…" Dave say as he run to the red bass and put it on him, and started to play some cores

"There are instruments that look like ours…. maybe we shouldn't worry about it right now…maybe until Emma comes back with help"

"Maybe Dave is right" Smitty say running towards the blue guitar and put it around him

"We shouldn't worry about it alot remember we did that last time we try to solve Rich's sleeping problem" The Movers look each other and nods in agreement

"We should play some music, maybe that can calm us down" Rich say running towards the drums, Scott just shrugs and happy runs towards the keyboard

Rich started to count to three and they started to play one of their songs, meanwhile Emma was starting walking back to the room with the other Wiggles

"So Emma, what is the emergency that you need to show us" Simon ask

"Yeah, because we are always happy to help" Lachy say

"Well there is multiple things I want to talk about I want to show you the main one first" Emma point out until she stop at her place which make the other Wiggles stop too

"Is that music?" Emma say before starting walking fast towards the room it was coming from The other Wiggles follow her and try to caught up to her

Once she got to the room she opened the door to see The Movers playing her and the other wiggles instrumentals, they was surprised about how good they were

The music stops when one of the movers noticed Emma with other people, which make the other movers to stop and look at the group

The Movers quickly put the instruments down and stand up a front of The Wiggles, they started to apologize which makes Emma giggle and laugh

"Guys it's okay, I just didn't expect to hear music when I came back…I didn't know you guys can play"

"Yeah we do, we are a band after all" Rich say

"You guys are in a band?" Lachy ask

"Yea we are, just like you guys" Smitty answers

"Oh yea, I probably need to explain you Wiggles" Emma says jump in so that she didn't almost forget it

"Wiggles, This is The Imagination Movers, Rich, Dave, Scott and Smitty" The Movers smile and wave to the other Wiggles

"I found them in the woods, when I was doing my work for today, they didn't know where they are, and I don't where did they come from, I ask them if they were from here and they don't know where here" Emma explain

"Well, what happened to you guys before coming here" Lachy ask

"Well before we was in our ideal Warehouse, doing our normal cleaning routine, until we found a room we didn't know so we enter and end up in the woods" Dave explain

"Yeah, and we try to go back the door disappeared" Scott added in

The Wiggles just looks at The Movers confused for a minute before Lachy started to walk back and forth thinking of something

"Do you have a idea, Lachy" Simon asked

"I have a theory but I want to check it to make sure it true" he say grabbing his coat and pulling out a little gadget out it

"Besides I don't know of a "ideal Warehouse", I don't think we have one in our world"

The Movers look at each other confused when he say their world, they immediately looks at Lachy when he got their attention

"Now, I want you guys to stay still and apart, this won't hurt so you guys be fine" he told them and aim the gadget towards The Movers, but when he try to turn it on it doesn't work

"Aw man this the third time this happened, I been fixing it and fixing it everytime it doesn't work I don't know what the problem is"

Dave step up and look at gadget before asking if he can see it, which the purple wiggle give him it

He started to look at it until he took off the back of it and noticed a missing gear

"Ah, there is the problem, you probably didn't realize it was missing a gear" he put the gadget under his arm and take his hat of his head and flip it

He looks into it because reaching down in it and try to found a gear to fix the gadget, but when he put his hand it in it started trying to pull him in, the other movers see that Dave was having trouble with it and help him by trying to pull his arm out

It takes a couple of tries before his arm was free, holding a gear in hand, his hat fly cross the road with something inside of the hat falling out of lt

The Movers fall over, laying on the ground luckily Dave grab the gadget so that it won't fall down and break

"Get it!" He say, slowly getting up as does the other movers, The Wiggles walk over and pick up his hat and some tools that fall out of the hat, and give it back to him

He thanks them and started to fix the gadget, once he was done fixing the gadget up, he give it back to Lachy and tell him to try it now

"It works…. thanks…well…. Movers please be apart and stand still" The Movers follows what The Purple Wiggle told them and he started to scanning them, which make Scott giggle

When the scanning was done it took a while for gadget finally has results to confirm Lachy's Theory

"Ah…just like I thought…you guys are from outer worlds" He explained, which The Movers just looks confused at what he say

"Oh…let me simplify it, You guys are not from here, our world, so whatever that door you guys went through telepost you guys here" The Movers nods in understand what he say

"No worries Movers, there is a way to get you guys back to your world, I have something called Interdimensional Substance, that would be your key to getting back, I will go to see where I put it in my invention room" Lachy say before starting to walk out of the room

Hours pass, since it takes a long time to found for Interdimensional Substance since Lachy's invention room was huge and full of all of things, but when he was found it, he found out that he doesn't have any more

"I guess I use the last of it to make your Interdimensional Pendant Necklace, Emma" The Movers look at each other worried

"No worries, that means I just need to make more….but I don't know how long that would take, I guess you guys have to stay here for a while" Lachy say with a little upsetting tone, one of The Movers noticed and speak up

"Hey, it ok, you guys solve our problem, now we know where we are" Rich say

"Yeah, that means that is one more step to solve this Big Idea Emergency" Smitty jump in

"And we are The Imagination Movers, we not going to leave one thing to stop us to solving a problem" Dave say

"And you guys help, Wiggles, you can solve anything you guys know this world ways better than us" Scott say reaching his arms out towards The Wiggles excitingly

"So, you guys are ok staying here in our world" Emma asks, all of the Movers yell out "YEAH!!!"

"I mean we don't have much choice" Rich thought before he started hearing one of the Wiggles talk

"It looks like it getting dark" Emma say look towards the window, than looking back towards the group

"No worries, I know where you guys can sleep in, Movers you mates can follow me, while you three going back to your WiggleHouse and get some rest we need to walk up early the next few weeks" Anthony say telling everyone what should they do

He started to walk out the door, The Movers slowly starting to follow the blue wiggle, while The other Wiggles walk out afterwards

Anthony and The Movers started to walk towards the town, The Movers continue looking around the town in wonder what is world is

"Where you taking us, sir" Dave asks

"Just call Anthony, you guys going to stay in The Wiggly Entertainers Campus Center" Anthony answers

"What is that?" Rich jump in

"It's a land in WiggleTown that for all of The Wiggly Entertainers live in"

"The Wiggly Entertainers?" Smitty Questions 

"The Wiggly Dancers, The Wiggly Actors/Actress, The Wiggly Singers/Players, ect" The Movers "oooh" in once understanding it

"It like their own Downtown for them" Anthony points out

It took them a while before they hit The Big Main Building in The Wiggly Entertainers Campus Center

"Here where you guys going to stay in for a while"

Entering The Big Main Building the inside of it looks like a if a very fancy hotel and a Campus was mix together, The Movers "oooo" seeing it

The Movers noticed that they lost Anthony for a minute before founding him talking the same lady that Emma was talking to earlier today

Anthony and The lady was talking for a while before walking towards The Imagination Movers

"Guys, this is Caterina, she is the Head of alot of groups here but she is mostly The Head of The Wiggly Dancers, she going to be your "Guardian" while you guys staying this building so if you guys have anything you can ask her" Anthony explain

After The Movers greeted Caterina, she give a little bow towards them in return, Anthony say good night to everyone before leaving

The Movers thanks Anthony for this, and they say to thank the other for helping them out, Anthony say "he will" and "it's no problem they just like helping people out" before leaving the building

Caterina started to show where The Movers going to living in, the walk was kinda awkward but The Movers mange to get some small talks from her so they can get to know her a bit

She opened the door show a pretty fancy room should has it own living room, it's own kitchen, two bedrooms and bathrooms

The Movers just walk in and Caterina told them if they need anything just call her, they smiles and nods, so as she and close the door

It was night time and The Movers was in the bedrooms, Rich and Dave in one room and Scott and Smitty in the other one

Rich just was laying down staring at the ceiling, until he noticed that Dave was doing the same thing

"Hey, don't worry we going to solve this Idea Emergency, even if it takes days to solve"

"Yeah, but we don't know anything about this world"

"Well, that why The Wiggles will help us, they was kind enough to help us and letting us stay here"

Dave was having something else in mind before he decided to hold it until he can figure it out, he turn around to face his roommate and give him a thumb up before facing the other way to fall asleep, he does the same

Today was interesting for The Imagination Movers, but they have a big idea emergency to solve this maybe be the biggest one they have

But hey, they are The Imagination Movers, there is no problem that can't solve and help with their new friends there is nothing that they can't compare for

Chapter 2: A Colorful Festive Problem:

It was the new day after The Imagination Movers accidentally enter The WiggleWorld

It was sunrise and the sunlight was hitting on the young Mover's eyes, he slowly sit up and try to cover the light with his hand for while so he can actually wake up

Once he was fully wake up he looks around the room for a moment, kinda forgetting where he is, noticed that he was alone

He looks at his roommate bed, it was empty, Dave slowly gets up and started to walk out of them room, he poke his head into the other movers room to see they still asleep

He walking down towards the living room, he was about to call out Rich's name until he heard a knock at the door, he just stand there until he heard it the second time

He walk over the door and open it slightly to see who it is, it was Caterina, Dave smile before opening the door fully

"Good morning, Ms.Caterina"

"Just call me Caterina" She replied, she slowly come in the room, holding a trade full of 4 plates of breakfast food in one arm

"Do you need something ma'am?" Dave ask walk by her, so he can be there to help her

"No, I'm here to give you guys breakfast" she say placing the food down"

"This is your guy's normal breakfast order, Right? A breakfast pizza with whole wheat crust, Some Burro-shaped pancakes, a bowl of Yogurt and Granola Parfait that's……that's shaped like The Matterhorn?..." She say in confusion but she shake it off and continue the list of orders"

"And a Pineapple, Strawberries, and Wheat Smoothie, but the one who want it already got it when I come over here"

"Already got it?" Dave asks

"Yes…earlier this morning I was about to knock you guys to ask you what you guys want to have for breakfast until one of y'all was walking down the hallway"

"Rich?"

"Yes, I ask him why he is up this early, he say he was going on a run around the Campus, and he tell me what you guys eat for breakfast, that why I bring it here"

"Oh ok, thanks" Dave say with a small smile, Caterina nods and say "no problem" she started walking out the door after saying if there something else they needed just ask her

As she closed the door, Scott and Smitty come in after waking up, reaching up the air, and rubbing their eyes

"Who was that?" Smitty asks

"It's was Caterina, she brings us breakfast, apparently she was going to ask us what we want but Rich already told me because he is out running around" Dave replied

"I wonder why he is running?"

"I mean it's Rich, he always do runs in the warehouse" Smitty point out

"Yes, but we are in a world that we don't know of"

"That is true" Scott jumps in

The three Movers stand there and think for a moment before one of them speak up again

"Well maybe after we eating breakfast we should look for Rich, maybe we should head to the tall building in the middle of town maybe The Wiggles can help us" Smitty explains

The others agree and started to eat their breakfast before it gets cold, they can't do anything without breakfast

After they finish breakfast, they started to head out the Campus and walk towards WiggleTown since they don't really need to change clothes they only had one

Once they get to the building, they enter and when they did they found Rich and Lachy talking to each other

"Rich!" The Movers say, and Rich look at them

"Oh, hey guys"

"Have you been here?" Scott ask

"I only been here for a couple minutes now, I just finished running with Lachy, he saw me doing it alone, so he ask if he can join me because he does the same every morning, also he thinks it a good idea if I do it with someone I already know in a world I don't know of" Rich explain himself

The other movers just ooo and ahh in understand and agreement, than The Movers look around and noticed that some people in the building was putting up decorations

Actually when Scott Smitty and Dave was walking through town people was also decorating with Rainbows of the colors of Yellow, Purple, Red, and Blue

The Movers group together looking at the people decorating for a while before they noticed the other wiggles come in with trouble faces

The Movers look at each other with confusion, they walk over to them and ask them is everything ok

"Oh Movers, Hello" Emma say surprised, holding some of the decorations

"Well…. everything is…everything is out of our hands" Emma say sighing

"What's wrong?" Scott asks

"You see, it spring times in WiggleWorld, which means it time for one of our annual celebration, The Wiggly Rainbow Festival" Emma say

"Oh no" Lachy explain

"I forgot that our next event, we have so much in a year I forget"

"It's doesn't help that alot happened the past weeks including you guys appears in our world, it's slip from our heads" Simon points out

"Yeah, especially the fact we also have the Gala in the same week and we can't cancel it because we already announced to the world and they are all excited about it" Emma say worried

"Oh this is the first we have two events happening at the same time, and we told Anthony we have everything under control….oooo have we gotten ourselves into a huge Colorful Festive Problem?" Emma say accidentally dropping the decorations putting her hands on his cheeks

Since she the leader of the group she is control of a lot of things especially events and festivals

"Wait!" Rich say run through the other movers and grab both of Emma's arms

"What did you say?"

"I say how we got ourselves into a huge Colorful Festive Problem?"

"That's great!" Emma looks at Lachy and Simon in confusion before looking back at Rich

"We have a problem, how's that great?" Rich let go of her and ran back to the Movers

"We're The Imagination Movers!"

Emma just looks at them for a while before realize something

"And you guys are problem solvers! That's what you guys told me when we met!"

"But are you guys sure you can help us, these are huge world events" Lachy say

"Yeah!" The Movers yell out

"Again, We're The Imagination Movers, solving problems is what we do" Dave say

"Plus, we have a similar problem before we made a un-party" Scott say, The three wiggles turn their heads in confusion

"It a long story" Scott explain

"Guys, this is our first problem from another world!" Dave explains

"Wait this isn't just a problem…it's"

"An Idea Emergency!" The Movers yell out in excitation

“Movers! We have a situation that needs some imagination” Scott explain

"We need to figure out how we are going to help The Wiggles…" Smitty explains 

"To plan their events at the same time…" Dave say

"And that means we need some good ideas from this new world!" Rich jump in

"Guys…"

"Let's Brainstorm!" They all yell out

The Movers starting to thinking making their thinking faces until a gust of wind appears in the room, it started to get stronger and stronger, until the point that The Three Wiggles was trying to hold on, putting their hands in front of their faces 

🎶We need good ideas

And we need them now

So put your heads together

And we'll write them down🎶

🎶There no bad ideas

When you're brainstorming🎶

🎶I can count on you

You can count on me

To make our ideas a reality🎶

🎶There no bad ideas

When you're brainstorming!🎶

🎶There no bad ideas

When you're brainstorming!🎶

🎶Brainstorming here

And brainstorming there

Brainstorming upside down

Or sitting in your easy chair🎶

(Sitting In Your Easy Chair)

🎶Reach High🎶

🎶Think Big🎶

🎶Work Hard🎶

🎶Have Fun🎶

The Movers put their hands on top each other and throw them up the air, they shake themselves in overwhelming

"Wooo, that was cool" Emma say

"Yeah, does a storm always appear when you guys do that?" Lachy asks

"Well, Yeah, it happens when we brainstorming" Scott say with a proud smile

"Guys, this is our first Idea Emergency in another world, Soo….who has a good idea?" Rich explain

"Well, there is always a reason for events and holidays happens" Smitty points out

"Yeah like Christmas!" Scott say

"Or birthdays!" Dave say

"So what is the meaning of The Wiggly Rainbow Festival?" Rich asked

"Well, The Wiggly Rainbow Festival is a Event that Celebrate the creation of The Wiggly Rainbow that was made by The Original Wiggles, Greg, Jeff, Murray and Anthony, The first Wiggly Rainbow was important because it how WiggleWorld was created" Emma explain, moving her arm slowly showing a little yellow trail

"Wait wait wait…it's created WiggleWorld….this world….the world that we are stuck in?" Rich questions, The movers looking confused at what their just hear

"Yes, a long time ago there was another world before WiggleWorld….WiggleWorld was the recreation of the old world which we still figuring out, but that is a different quest" Emma explain

"Anyways The Wiggly Rainbow Festival is one of biggest events we have, Every Year We, The Wiggles perform and create The Wiggly Rainbow in the event, it be great if we can figure out how everything ready for it"

"Hey, maybe we can take your guys places!" Scott explain, everyone looks confused

"The event is about you guys right? So you guys must be the heads of the event planning right?"

"Well, I mostly the one control alot of things including events and festivals, but yes" Emma say as she picking up the decorations from the floor and caring it

"Well, why not let us take place was the replacement event planners for you guys" Scott say walking towards Emma and taking the decorations off her hands

"Yes, you guys must have a list of things you need to do for the event?" Rich point out

"Well, we normally remember it in our minds"

"We can write it down and make it a to do list" Dave say reaching to his pocket but stopping thinking if he put his notebook in his pocket or in his hat, remember that he put it in his pocket

He pull the notebook out and toss it to Rich who caught it and pull out one of his Scribble Sticks

"I'll use my Scribble Sticks" he say spinning it before turning it on and get ready to write anything down

"Well, first we need to decorate the whole town, which some people are already doing"  Emma explain

"Than, we need to collect and harvest the foods for The Festival and for The Gala" Lachy jump in

"We need to collect the flowers for The Festival and for The Gala, Especially Roses" Simon explain

"Why Roses?" Scott asks

"Because we have a friend who favorite flower is Roses, she use Roses for everything, so we get extra Roses for her, she normally help us with collecting the flowers for the events" the Movers "ooo" in understand

"There is two more things but we already handled them," Emma points out

"We need to practice, since can perform The Wiggly Rainbow, and we need to notice The Wiggly Rainbow Wonders so they can practice too, that why Anthony is not here right now"

"What's The Wiggly Rainbow Wonders?" Rich asks, interesting about what is it

"The Wiggly Rainbow Wonders are a squad of people who have flying as their main Magic ability basically have a specialization in flying and perform aerial acrobatics and demonstrations. They are apart of The Wiggly Royal Armed Forces"

"The Wiggly Royal Armed Forces?" Scott questions

"The Wiggly Royal Armed Forces is our army" Lachy explain

"Ooh, so The Wiggly Rainbow Wonders is like your guys Air Force?" Smitty point out 

"Well, yes" Simon replied

The movers oh for while before looking at each other in confusion

"They have a army?!" They asks questioning why they need one in a world looks peaceful

They just shake their heads and get back to the plan

"I can be in charge on collecting and harvesting the foods for the events" Smitty jump in

"I can come with you Smitty" Dave say walking towards to Smitty

"I guess me and Scott be in charge of the decorations and the flowers" Rich says....

That's Enough about it and I Working an Rewrite of Move Out for The Imagination Movers (The One Way Door Room) at The New Version of The Wiggling Wiggles's WiggleUniverse, So I Would Rewrite, but There's Out....

[heathersmagicalgarden]

I know I had a list of The Movers and Nina as caregivers, but I made an updated list of what kind of caregivers they would be, and Rich and Scott are flips (meaning they go back and forth between an age regresser and a caregiver)! I also thought if I wrote a fic featuring Rich or Scott being regressed, would anyone be interested in reading it?

Rich: Rich is a flip, meaning he goes back and forth between caregiver and being little, but if he's watching a little one or Scott, he's a caregiver. Whenever he gets super tired (Rockabye Rich) or gets upset, he goes into little space.

Scott: When he discovered the term "flip" from Smitty, he knew that fits him the most. But, unlike Rich, he's mostly an age regresser, and Smitty is his caregiver. Scott is the age regresser who doesn't understand boundaries, and loves to see what everyone is doing, and loves to help when he's in little space, especially if it's Smitty he's helping (but Smitty makes sure he's safe in little space if he's helping).

Dave: He's the "dad" caregiver: he's always fixing broken toys and mending stuffies. He also comes up fun ways to do chores. Need to pick up your toys? There's an (imaginary) dragon loose in The Warehouse, and if you don't pick up your toys, the (imaginary) dragon is going to take them.

Nina: The most gentlest caregiver ever, and is the "mama" caregiver. Carries everything an age regresser needs in a bag, because you never know what an age regresser would need. She knows how to soothe an age regresser to make them feel better, and gives so much praise if you did something while little.

Smitty: The "teacher" and most experienced caregiver besides Nina. He loves to teach you new facts about animals or if you have a special interest, he'll have facts about that too. He's the one to go to if you have a question since he'll likely have an answer, and if he doesn't, it's journal time.

[ofwraithsandwords]

Anyway I will write a fic that explores that entry from Duke Ulder Ravengard’s journal when Wyll saw a mermaid from his POV at some point or my name isn’t Smitty Warbenjagermanjensen.

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 197

First Born

“First Born”

Plot Description: hoping to kill mutual enemy Abaddon, Dean and Crowley search for the “First Blade” and are stunned to find out its owner is Cain, the first son.

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: yeah, I’m good. I mean, if I HAD the First Blade and Cain came aknockin for it, I’d probably just give it to him. I don’t wanna die

(I remember two things from this part of spn: 1) Dean gets a fun new mark and 2) Cain is played by Timothy Omundson, who to ME is King Richard from Galavant)

I guess if you HAVE to portray confederate soldiers (and honestly, you almost never have to, unless you are doing something and it’s ABOUT the civil war), it MIGHT be best to make them demons. Though then you’re taking away their agency which is a DIFFERENT kind of ick. But at least they’re demons to be killed off and not the romantic partner of a beloved side character

I can’t believe Crowley had a spy demon called Smitty…

The Dean and Crowley buddy comedy is perfection. I love Dean begrudgingly taking out John’s journal and Crowley asking ALL of the questions about it. Giving me season four or five vibes

Oh…Cas is losing his taste for food now that he’s an angel again. I’m sad for him

“Cas, you’re a terrible liar” “That’s not true. I once deceived and betrayed both you and your brother” Cassssssss, that’s not something to boast about

So did Gadreel leave a little piece of him in Sam??? Oh…Sam’s got a little Grace in him.

Sam, you HAVE to remember that Cas does not have the strongest grasp on idioms. You can’t say you have a guinea pig and not expect him to believe you have a LITERAL guinea pig and not just a you to experiment on

I like this semi-retired hunter(?). She’s got all the precautions up and tests that Dean isn’t possessed, but she’s not IN the game in the game anymore.

Crowley, you and Dean are not besties but I’m so happy you’re trying

I’m not saying that John wasn’t a man with “needs,” but…when you’re dragging your kids (who you are also neglecting more than half the time) all across the country, I don’t know that you get to do weekend trysts with a woman you killed a demon with.

Did you have to SHOOT the devil’s trap to break it?? Couldn’t you have just scuffed it like EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS SHOW??

Don’t tell me Cain still lives at the house from the first five minutes

Crowley is absolutely TERRIFIED of Cain. And I can see why. He formed AND killed the Knights of Hell?!

Sam, you have not spent enough time around Cas. You need to. Because you also need to stop making all these little quips that are just going to keep you two going around in exceptionally pointless circles

Not Sam trying to sacrifice himself again (but what else is new, really?)

Yeah, maybe you SHOULDN’T have gone back

Man, of course they killed the hunter…

I love that the Father of Murder is now an introvert who just wants to tend to his bees and be left alone

Cain just watching Dean fight these demons like I watch a show I’ve seen a million times

Crowley, no one was around to hear your quip

I do like the relationship between Cas and Sam…it’s soft and supportive now

What a potentially interesting twist on the Cain and Abel story…here, Abel wasn’t talking to god, he was talking to Lucifer and Cain made a deal to ensure Abel went to heaven and he went to hell (not sure I 100% believe it but…)

Oh that’s actually really tragic. Cain fell in love with a woman who loved him unconditionally. She simply asked him to stop killing and he did. Then Abaddon possessed her one night, nearly killed her in front of Cain, but ended up tricking him into killing his own wife.

The Winchester boys, always taking really drastic and dangerous solutions

A Sam and Cas hug where Sam has to tell Castiel that this is the part where you hug back

OMG! Crowley gets a “end of the car trip” talk over the hood of the impala!! And you said he was the furthest thing from family, Dean…….

You’re right Crowley, it IS always something with those boys

[musicfordinner]

A friendship song!

My homegirl sent me this song today and it was haunting through its reverberation.

African American music finds its way to everything and everyone. The lyrics of this track are ones that you wanna share amongst your best friends and others whose existence is everything to you.

It’s a heartwarming listen and I'm glad to have been the beneficiary of this track today.

[triffany-lottablog]

After this I’m gonna start to schedule these for Wednesday and Saturday I think. For now just figuring out the writing and art style so these are still experimental!

twisted // colby brock - chapter eleven

A/N: OH MY GOD GUYS, THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER. there’s an epilogue after this, but holy shit this is pretty much the end for twisted. i’m so happy that this story got all the love it did, it really means a lot to me that you guys liked this story. please let me know what you think! and also get ready for the next story i’ll be posting, the chosen daughter. see yall later :)

description of the story

taglist: @absolute-randomness-forever , @far-to-many-bands , @itsmoony , @mellissalox​ , @sammy0927​ , @the-specific-oceans , @ashyoungxblood

trigger warning: hospital setting, mentions of kidnapping/possible sexual abuse, mentions of stitches, mostly fluffy

word count: 1315

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Alright, I think you’re all good to go.” The nurse smiled, leaning away from me.

“Um… do you know where my friends are? Sam Golbach and Colby Brock?” I asked, sliding off the table.

She shook her head. “No, I don’t. But the officer outside might know.”

I nodded lightly, following the nurse out of the room. As I turned the corner, The Sheriff leaned against the wall, waiting for me.

He stepped up to me, his eyes gentle. “How’d everything check out?”

“I’m okay. A little bruised and dirty, but nothing too bad.” I informed.

“That’s good.” He cleared his throat. “I need to ask you some questions before I take you to your friends.”

“Okay.” I said.

We began to walk, heading towards the elevators at the end of the hall. “Explain to me what happened today.”

“Smitty... Derek... drugged and kidnapped me and my friends. He then admitted to us that the only reason we were brought here was because of me. He told us how he believed I was an actual angel that could save him from his sins.” I explained. “The only way to do that was to use my blood by taking my virginity. He beat the shit out of my friends, almost killed them and me, and before he could continue, I knocked him out with a chair. We ran, found you, and you know the rest.”

The Sheriff questioned. “What sins was he talking about?”

“He murdered his father because he killed Aggie.” I stated.

“Was there any time during your stay with Smitty that it seemed like he was planning to do this?” He asked.

“Not really. Not until today. But he has multiple journals in the library. In his most recent one, he laid it all out. He was filming us while we were there too.” I admitted.

The Sheriff raised an eyebrow. “How do you know this?”

“I found the cameras. I kept this SD card in case.” I pulled the card out, handing it to him. “It was taken from the library. It should show him drugging me.”

“Why'd you take it?” He pulled out a bag, placing the SD card inside it.

I breathed. “I just... knew I had to. In case no one believed us.”

“I'm gonna need you to write out a statement before you leave to go home.” The Sheriff spoke as we stood in front of the elevator doors.

“Do you know how long Sam and Colby have to stay here?” I inquired.

“Probably overnight.” He answered. “Do you want me to escort you to their room?”

“No. I'll be fine. Thank you... Sheriff George.” I replied.

“You're welcome, Angel. They’re in room 263, on the second floor.” He responded.

I clicked the button to go up. The elevator dinged as it stopped on my floor, opening the doors with metal thuds. As I stepped inside, I called out clicking floor two. “Um, Sheriff?

He turned himself back to me. “Yeah?”

I stared into his eyes. “Don't blame yourself for Aggie's death. She wouldn't want that.”

A tight-lipped smile came to his face for a moment. “Don’t blame yourself for this either, kid.”

The doors to the elevator slowly shut. I leaned my back against the wall, sighing deeply.

I was safe. Sam was safe. Colby was safe.

We’re okay.

I held back tears as the elevator arrived on the second floor. I wiped my eyes, stepping out of the elevator and following the markers down the hall to room 263. As I turned the corner, I saw the door to their room was opened.

I walked in and slid the curtain back. Sam was the first one I saw. He was asleep, his face for the first time serene in hours. He had stitches on the arm that Smitty cut. He was connected to an IV in his opposite arm. His right eye’s swelling had calmed down to only a dark bruise. Little cuts and bruises were beginning to heal on his body. The leg he sprained was wrapped in a brace, elevated by two pillows.

My eyes finally landed on Colby, who was awake and staring at me. The X on his chest was stitched up. His busted lip and bruised face were healing, leaving only dark marks and dried blood in its wake. A light smile came to his face.

I strolled forward, getting closer to Colby. “Hi.”

“Hey.” Colby muttered.

“Can’t sleep?” I asked quietly.

He shrugged. “I didn’t want to sleep until I knew you were okay.”

“You shouldn’t have waited. I’m not the one connected to an IV with stitches all over.” I chuckled.

A silence fell over Colby as he looked down at his hands. “…That’s the first time you’ve laughed in a while.”

My heart dropped for a moment as I stared down at the tile floor. “Yeah. You’re right.”

“Come here.” He murmured, patting the spot next to him.

I slowly stepped towards Colby, sitting down on the edge of the bed next to him. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into him. I laid my head lightly on his chest, trying not to disturb his stitches. I breathed deeply, my body relaxing against his touch and warmth. He rested his head against mine, humming softly.

I sat up. “Colby? I gotta tell you something.”

“Alright.” He replied.

I placed my feet on the floor, my back to Colby. “There’s something that Smitty said that’s been stuck in my mind for a while.”

“What is that?” He mumbled.

I exhaled. “Before he… kidnapped us, he asked me. About you. And me.”

“Oh. What did he ask about?” Colby bit his lip gently.

“He wanted to know if I liked you. I didn’t feel comfortable talking to him about you, mostly because he was starting to creep me out, but also because I’m not good at saying what I’m feeling.” I huffed sadly.

“Okay.” He nodded.

I wrung my hands nervously. “But he said to me ‘you should say what you feel before it’s too late’.”

“Um I-” Colby started.

I cut him off. “I almost lost you. And Sam. But all I could think about was how I would never be able to tell you how I really feel.”

I turned my body to him, gazing into his eyes. “I’m in love with you, Colby. And have been… for a long time now.”

He remained silent, his mouth slightly gaped.

“I never told you because… I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. I was afraid that maybe you would push me away because you didn’t like me back. And I just couldn’t lose you.” I confessed, my eyes pulling away from his.

He swallowed hard, still not speaking.

“I understand if you don’t love me back. All I ask is that you don’t push me away. I really can’t afford that right now.” I uttered, holding back tears.

“What…” He spoke, “Makes you think… I wouldn’t love you back?”

“I-I…” I stammered.

“Sam told me before this trip started that I should just confess how I felt for you, that I had waited long enough. But I figured, hey, why not wait until afterwards? I’ll have time.” His voice fell into an almost whisper.

Colby slid his hand up to my cheek, cupping it tenderly. He drew my face closer to his, our noses brushing each other. With my breath caught in my throat, I glanced down at his lips. He did the same to mine.

“To think I almost didn’t.” He chuckled sadly.

He leaned in, bringing his lips to mine. I felt as if my heart was going to explode, bursting into butterflies. I got lost in the feeling of his lips and touch as my fingers danced across his arms.

Colby pulled away sweetly, his forehead against mine.

“I love you too, Angel.”

<< CHAPTER 10 ||  EPILOGUE >>

[heathersmagicalgarden]

I originally had this idea where in Smitty's chapter, Nina encourages Y/N to take pictures of the animals that are inside The Warehouse to hang in The Idea Cafe with Smitty's help (after getting hurt in one of the rooms, Smitty suggests drawing animals instead)

Or I love @redgearsmovin 's ideas for Smitty where he tells Y/N about certain animals or Y/N tells Smitty about their favorite animal, even though Smitty probably knows all about the animal, but he let's you babble about it as he adds it to his journal
