🥡(From MK to Wukong or Macaque, you pick ^^)

☯ 𝓓𝓮𝓵𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 — send 🥡 for our muses to enjoy take-out together. ☯

"Well well well, if it isn't my favorite delivery boy."

Peeling himself out of the young man's shadows without much effort, a soft mirth leaving him as he spoke. Only adding to his amusement at the light startling jolt that briefly overtook the other. Hee, that would never get old to him — startling MK would always be amusing to him, unintentionally or not.

His shadows working quick to relief him of one of the take-out bags. Only sparing a quick glance inside to make sure everything was there, not that he had any doubts. That boar was thorough in making sure the order was to the letter — even ones that were overly complex and insane. Luckily, the six-eared simian's taste were simple enough and he never ordered anything too complex from the noodle shop.

"Why don't you take a load off for a moment? Join me for lunch?"

"You look like you got something on your mind, I'm all ears kiddo."

It wasn't like he was busy at the moment either — it was a lazy day after all. Plus, he looked like the young protégé could use a small break right now.

I've decided to watch MacGyver from the beginning (again), and I'm live tweeting the experience with every tweet tagged with #savemacgyver. I thought it would be fun to share my collected thoughts from the episodes on here as well.

My Thoughts on S1E1, "The Rising"

Good old Lake Como.

"How do I look?" Always amazing, Mac, though here you are so bebby. Gosh, tiny Lucas is tiny.

Ugggh, Nikki. My least favorite story arc in the show. Even with her redemption arc, even her face makes me mad.

I am soooo glad this awkward flirting is only in this episode. Mac and Nikki have never vibed with me.

JACK DALTON

"Who loves ya, baby?" We all do, Jack.

I always wished they would have played more into the original Mac's reason for not carrying a weapon - not just so he doesn't get caught but because he doesn't like them. That was actually one reason I used to be so upset at the reboot when it first came out. I still feel like Mac's character was off for this first episode - a little too cocky, not super developed. But still lovable, and with so much potential!

It's so cool to see how much Lucas has grown into this character over the years, really making it his own while still holding on to its essence.

Lol "serious bad-assery" - Nikki thinks she's so cool. (Spoiler: she's not.)

Lololol Nikki is the Walmart brand of Riley.

Mac in glasses. Adorbs.

Man, I'm already so ready for Matty. Patti is the off brand version of her.

I always love watching Mac rifle through stuff to find his improvisation supplies!

First MacSplaining session! Electromagnets!

"Is this George Clooney's house?" I miss Jack so freaking much.

Mac kind of looks like a penguin with that waiter outfit on and I'm living for it.

The second Mac hack is so Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew.

"Why don't you ever flirt with me like that?" Um, Jack, do you want your partner's girlfriend flirting with you, daddy fixation or not?

There are two kinds of oops, accordng to Jack Dalton: Oops - I just stubbed my toe / Ooooooops - Zombie apocalypse initiated.

Mac's hair is so shaggy.

"START THE DAMN BOAT!" Classic.

"Hold this and get out of my way." Dang, Mac.

The bad guy is the dude from Galavant hahaha. I know this guy has been in so many things, but he will always be Gareth to me. (That's his name, right? Gareth?)

W H U M P

I actually love the consistency of Mac always having that scar even seasons into the series (except for the last time, in the river). Overall great attention to detail!

That is a LOT of blood in the water.

Lol I'm pretty sure Grandpa Harry didn't say that in so many words, Mac.

Poor traumatized bebby. What am I saying? I live for this stuff.

Awww, lil Bozer. So smol. So pure. And now I want waffles.

"Eat your waffles." Three words I will never say no to.

"Give me Wang." -Bozer, 2016

Am I the only one who finds these intimate scenes between Mac and Nikki hella awkward?

QUARANTINE, sounds familiar.

Lol "cyberteam." Once Riley Davis comes along, they will be obsolete.

Jack just wants a hug.

I always hated the clinical white room in the pilot. Can't wait for the War Room.

I love the interactions between Jack and Riley.

Mac and Riley EYE CONTACT.

"You two are on timeout from now on." 😂😂😂

THE MOMENT WHERE HE GRABS HER HANDS

Lol, thanks for telling me that's a paperclip. I was so confused.

"Riley has so much hair!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love how Riley takes charge. Her confidence is 🔥🔥🔥

"You know what, never mind, I'd be pissed at you too." 🤣

Jack's so proud of his daughter. 💕

"Is that real?" Bless Jack's heart. He's such an old man.

Patti is a square. Pretty, competent, but boring. I miss Matty.

"My man never jokes about tin foil."

Ooooo Nikki is alive. Poor Mac. His whole world keeps getting turned on its head.

Jack can be scary when he wants to be.

Poor, poor, Mac. When he faces Nikki, he looks like a kicked golden retriever. (Also, NEVER kick a dog.)

I'm just eating up all this angst.

Mr. Wizard lololol

Mac hanging from a plane is soooo iconic.

"Don't get cocky. You're the only other one here." Haha, the SASS on this girl.

"Go ahead, you aready had me killed once." Also, oof. Undercover or not, Nikki is cold. I can't stand her.

Excuse me, Patricia, but I would consider running over your neighbor's dog (or any dog) a damn catastrophe, too.

"Sometimes a purge is necessary to fix what's broken." Codex, anyone?

Love this whole chase/fight sequence so much. The music, action, everything... perfect.

The sweat on Mac's forehead when dangling out of the 🚁 - such a great detail!

"YOU GO KABOOM, I GO KABOOM"

Kind of weird to me that Mac seems to be using so much guesswork with this bomb, especially when we know that he's one of the best specialists out there.

That fight scene in the back of the vehicle is one of my all time favorites. The whump is excellent.

Okay, but when does MacGyver ever do anything the way Jack has in mind?

DIY or die. Still so lame, lol. The parachute is awesome, though.

Oof. That landing looks painful and the whumper in me loves it. Even more, I can't get over how worried Jack is as he rushes to Mac's side. ❤️❤️❤️

That break in his voice when he asks if Mac's okay is just... AYSKTUFYIFUYliIIGUOG

Mac burning Nikki's pics like that old Taylor Swift song.

Bozer calling Jack his bestie is so weird and funny to me.

I am so ready for Bozer to get over Riley. They are so much better as friends.

Lol "Those fries won't cook themselves." The crack of a whip, man.

Jack calling Riley a little rascal and then gently asking Mac if he's doing all right there, pal ... taking care of his kids, and I am DYING.

The Three Amigos... come on, Jack. You can do better than that.

Is it bad that I'm actually a little surprised that Jack knows what a Phoenix is? Just seems like something he wouldn't care to learn, especially since he's a sci fi junkie but I never really hear him talk about fantasy.

Oooooooo Nikki's on the loose. Gotta end with suspense, to hook those viewers and make them want more. Well, I want more of this show, but not because of her.

Well, awesome re-watch of episode 1. Definitely not my favorite by a long shot, but so iconic and with some amazing moments! It just makes me that much more excited to get to see the show and the characters grow!

If anyone wants to join me in my re-watching and tweeting adventure, please do! It's my way to take about an hour a day in my busy, busy life to commit to the #savemacgyver movement. (And to enjoy my favorite show yet again!) If you do tweet as you watch, make sure to tag EVERY tweet with ONLY #savemacgyver so we can keep that hashtag trending! :)

Thanks for letting me share my (numerous) thoughts on this episode. This was really fun, and I hope it's something you all enjoy, too. I'll probably go ahead and post episode 2 tonight since I just watched it. I'd love to know what you all think of the episode in the comments! ❤️

A Witch & A Hick, Chp. 3

Little Secret

This chapter is just the two learning about each other and car problems lol.

Also warning for Elizabeth offering sex as payment lol, it doesn't happen. Also I do hc Lester living in a trailer bc its extremely common and realistic tbh.

Lester puts the truck in drive and looks at Elizabeth as he presses the brake, 

"I remember you said there's a town nearby, any chance we can go there to fix up my van?" Elizabeth asks as she pets the two dogs, 

"No need, they'll charge ya criminal prices. I can fix it." Criminal prices, he repeats in his head. 

"Oh come on, you've already done so much." Elizabeth says her face soft, 

"I insist! I can't just let them uh take ya money when I can fix it for free." He smiles and Elizabeth mirrors it. Lester gives from the brakes and drives towards his home, 

"I have a feeling there's something...more behind this." Lester gulps, 

"What made ya think that?" Lester nervously laughs and his hands tighten around the wheel, 

"That's how most men are, expect a favor for a favor. Though they often expect ya know." Lester blinks and cringes, 

"Aw that! I wasn't thinking anything like that, hell I wasn't even thinking about you doing anything." 

"I mean I'll do it." His eyes widen and he stops the truck again, 

"What?" He blushes and looks at the girl, 

"I'll get you off, I've done it before." 

"No no! I have to decline, I just ain't that kinda man." Lester nods to the woman who shrugs, he lied. He is that kinda man, he's had victims beg for safety with offers of sex. He always took it, but let's the girls fall back in the hands of his brothers. 

"Not that I don't find ya pretty!" He defends quickly and Elizabeth laughs, 

"You're real purdy, I just. I just can't." He sighs and Elizabeth notices how tense he is. 

"Thanks, for calling me pretty." She smiles, 

"I think you're real pretty too." She compliments Lester who blushes again, Lester has never talked to a stranger this long. Never had a girl call him pretty, never met her.

"Ya just sayin that cuz I'm given ya a ride." Lester chuckles and Elizabeth shakes her head, 

"Nope," she pops her P, 

"Everybody's beautiful in they're own way, just as nature intended." Lester blinks and remembers her van, the witchy collection in it. 

"Oh right, you're a witch!" Lester exclaims and Elizabeth nods, 

"How'd you know?" She teased and Lester laughs,

"How'd you even get in all that junk anyways?" Lester asks and flicks his hat, 

"It ain't junk. Don't be rude," Elizabeth smirks and Lester nods his head, Jonesey puts her head on Lester's lap. He pets the dogs head. 

"Sorry but, how did you ya know..start?" 

"My sister got me my tarot cards, she really showed me the basics of witchcraft. Our parents didn't really care all that much but never let us do it in the house. Guess that's why I moved out so early too." Elizabeth laughs, 

Lester pulls up towards a driveway of a trailer.

The trailer is a once white single wide, covered in vines and ivy. Bones hung from the porch ceiling, 

Elizabeth notices his front door was wide open, and in the yard were scatters of trash, car parts, bones and more. The windows were open but blinds were keeping the inside blocked. 

It looks like nobody lives there, as stray cats scurried under the trailer and hissed at each other.

"I'll be quick, I'll just unload your van and fix her right up in a jiffy." Lester smiles at the girl and gets out of the truck, Jonesey follows and Mac follows after her. 

Elizabeth smiles as she watches the two dogs sniff around and play, getting out of the truck her barefeet sink into the grass and dirt. She stretches, the truck wasn't entirely comfortable with Mac siting right on her. 

"Sorry for the mess, I don't really have guests." Lester says as he unhooks the van, 

"Its fine, I've seen much worse." 

"Nah, doubt it." Lester shakes his head and wipes his hands on his jeans, Elizabeth takes note of the depreciation joke he says. 

As Lester pops her hood and smoke rises from it, Elizabeth frowns. 

"That happened before?" Lester asks as he waves the smoke off, Elizabeth nods. 

"Yeah, I've had a couple engine problems. Mainly because of oil, but my light wasn't even on." 

"Yup, cars will do that. Just spring a problem on ya right as ya were doing fine." Lester grazes his hand over the engine and instantly finds the problem, 

"When's the last time ya changed the cooling fan?" 

"Never." 

"Cleaned it?" 

"Never." Lester sighs and Elizabeth frowns, 

"That bad?" He nods, 

"Your engine is busted, you're gonna need a new one." 

"Nooooo." Elizabeth groans

"Hey its okay, this happens all the time. It's just an accident." Lester tries to comfort the girl, she squats and hides in her knees. 

"Hey now," Lester gets on his knee and pats the girls back. 

"We can maybe order one from the next town over, but it'll take a while for it to come in since we're basically in the middle of no where." Lester then sits with the girl and he blinks when he hears a sob come from her. 

"Jeez darlin, it ain't anything to cry about." He says and Elizabeth looks up, her makeup more runny than before, 

"This is my karma! I know it is and- and I shouldn't be cryin-ing but-" she hides her face again and Lester stutters, 

"Aw no no, this ain't karma just an accident. Honest." 

He isn't entirely sure what else to do, seen plenty of girls cry in Ambrose. Ain't none of them cried like this. 

Crying about karma, hell if karma was real he'd be dead, he thinks and shakes his head. He gently pats the girls back as she sobs. The two dogs show up and sit around the two Mac places his head on the girls back. Pushing Lester's hand away, Elizabeth quickly hugs her dog.

After a couple minutes, her sobs stop and she looks up. 

"Im sorry Lester, I just. It's just been a lot today," she says and wipes her eyes, smudging her makeup. 

"Wanna talk about it?" Lester ask and Elizabeth looks around, noticing the sun is starting to set. 

"No, not right now. I'm just tired now, sorry for bothering you with my emotions and junk." 

"Ain't no bother at all, I'm happy to help." She shows a smile from his words as he stands, he puts his hand out and she takes it to stand. 

"I know, and thanks again. Do you think it's alright if my van stays the night? I'll try to go to another town in the morning and order an engine. I'll find a motel too." She says, trying to clean her face up from tears and makeup. 

Lester raises a brow, and Elizabeth shakes her head already knowing he'll offer his home. 

"Lester please you've already done so much for me! I promise that by tomorrow I'll be out of your hair." She says and Lester shakes his head, 

"Darlin, How about we both go into town order you an engine and when it gets here I can put it in. If you think I'm letting you sleep in that hot van for the night you're dead wrong." Lester stands up straight and crosses his arms, Elizabeth actually has to look up to see his face. 

"I've got a spare room, it's messy and mainly holds all my junk but it's got a bed, a desk and a closet." Lester says and Elizabeth takes a deep breathe, 

"Thank you," she says and Lester uncrosses his arms, 

"I mean it, without you I'd probably be kidnapped by some crazy guy. Unless you are the crazy guy." She jokes and Lester nervously laughs.

"I like to call myself unqiue." Lester jokes and Elizabeth laughs, 

"That you are friend, that you are." Elizabeth says and watches as the sun falls behind the trees.

After grabbing her needed things from the van, the two walk towards the trailer. 

The two walk onto the wooden porch, Elizabeth's hands grazing the bones hanging above, 

"Those are my people repellents, makes hikers skedaddle." Lester jokes and Elizabeth smiles, 

"They're beautiful," she compliments and Lester walks through the open door, 

"Yup, they sure are. I uh, I keep my door open so the strays can come in and relax and get away from the heat." He says and flicks on a light, it blinks a few times but turns on. 

The two are standing in the living room, the couches covered in fur and scratches. Clothes are all around and clean and unclean bones sit on the coffee table. 

But the recliner is free of fur, just a flannel on the back. 

Lester notices his playboy magazine on the coffee table and quickly snatches up the magazine, Rolling it up he laughs embarrassingly. 

"Sorry about that, again not often I get guests." Elizabeth smiles and shakes her head. From behind the two, Mac and Jonesey come running in. They jump on the couch and sit next to each other. 

"My house is there house." Lester pets Jonesy's head and smiles, putting the magazine behind the couch during this. He turns to face Elizabeth whose staring at the bones, 

"I'll show you to ya room," Lester walks to the right and opens a bedroom door, 

The bedroom filled with bones in boxes, books, clothes and random knick knacks. He quickly lifts boxes from the bed and pats the dust off. 

"My casa your casa." He smiles and Elizabeth places her stuff down, Lester stands in the doorway now. 

"Thanks again, Lester. I really appreciate it." Elizabeth puts her hand out and Lester looks down at it. It's so small, he gently grabs it and Elizabeth grabs one of the bracelets on her wrist. She brings it over her hand and onto his, 

"I can't not give you a gift." She says and lets him go, Lester looks down at the bracelet. A whole set of animal teeth with beads in between. 

"I- thank you. It's so purdy." He says and continues, 

"You're a real uh...what's it called?" 

"Freak?" He quickly shakes his head, and takes her hand again. Putting their wrists together with the bracelets, 

"Unique," he smiles, "You're a real unique girl." 

"Is it because I mess with bones and junk?" 

"Well that, and because you're real nice." Elizabeth smiles, 

"You're just as unique as me Lester." She says and the two look at each other for a second, wanting this conversation not to end but not sure how to continue. 

Suddenly from behind Lester, Mac barks. 

Elizabeth laughs, 

"It's past his bedtime, sorry he gets cranky when he's not in bed by this time." Lester let's the dog run past him and onto the bed, 

"Well, goodnight, um. Sleep tight?" 

"You too Lester." Elizabeth quietly shuts her door and Lester stares at the closed door. Jonesy whines from behind him, 

Lester turns to the dog and squats, he pets the dogs cheeks and smiles. 

"She'll be our little secret, right Jonesey?" The dog licks his face.

10 things I'd love Mamas to be to know

The postpartum wisdom. 2017 must be the year of Le Bebès as I know so many expectant Mama bears some even with twinnies! Now I'm only still fresh as this as I've produced and kept alive and healthy 1x tiny human who is growing undoubtedly like Jacks bloody beanstalk, for just over 3 1/2 months. However I know and am meeting so many first time expectant Mamas and to say it felt like yesterday Ollie was on the inside kicking around would be a lie because I literally love being able to lay on my belly again after 9 long months. And regain control of ones pelvic floor muscles. It's so hard to be able to "give advice" to new Mamas to be. As everyone's journey throughout their pregnancy is their own and unique and unlike anyone else's. so to judge others pain tolerance, weight gain/ loss, hormonal swings, mental health, choice of birthing is actually not up to any of us to pass judgement on and say this is how you should or shouldn't. Today I had the best chat to a complete stranger/ retail lady at my fave shop of all things divine smelling at the body shop. She commented on Ollie and his adorable little hat. She went on to tell me how she was expecting her first wee human in May. It was great I finally felt I was at this point of my postpartum journey where I could bring laughter and light to all the things that once made me sad and feel alone during my pregnancy. We spoke about birth plans and the importance of keeping an open mind in bringing your baby earth side safely. The fears and pressures surrounding breastfeeding. The highs and the lows. We both agreed on having produced 1x human was enough. I thoroughly agree I have come into this wild motherhood and created a mini me my job here is done. With my friends all having little people too we pretty much will have a Gang spreading from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane without me needing to produce any further offspring. I believe if we knew how intense pregnancy and labour and a newborn all was we'd probably not have children.... or would out of sheer craziness. I guess I was thinking today what would be 10 top tips I could pass down to some of the first time Mamas out there after all I had so much love and support and great tips from friends and family, not exactly do's and dont's but just general hey it's ok try this out. 1. First trimester I recall my boobs feeling like heavy rocks of lava and taking off my bra was unbearable especially being big busted. Go out and grab a handful of cheap crop top bras go a few sizes up as everything is going to expand. They saved me from agony rolling over in bed in night in the first tri. 2. Eat a Big Mac and don't feel guilty, there's so many rules on what to and not to eat during pregnancy. My first trimester I had to force myself to eat my greens and salads without reaching for the coco pops day or night. I ate runny eggs Benedict in the ending of the 3rd trimester and Ollie seems aight. (Not that anyone should really take my nutritionist advice as I am far from an expert). But what I'm saying is don't feel you have to live off green smoothies and send yourself crazy because all you want is to demolish a block of chocolate. Chocolate releases endorphins, endorphins make people happy remember? And less likely to savage humans. 3. There ain't nothing wrong with a little over reppin' the preppin' when it comes to wipes, bath soaps, face washers, bibs, creams and butt wipes. You will use them... bibs unless you want to be continually napisaning out the milk stains I personally found the dark ones like my soul far more advantageous. Bulk buying things like baby laundry detergent (I use purity and earth choice as we cloth nappy too) and in Australia use the App "shopfully" it ranges from supermarket specials through to big w, Kmart, baby bunting and so on all at the click of your finger. So the conscience of being able to not get off your couch is perfect! Load up on things for you too, pads, toilet paper all the home shit so you don't need to be going to the supermarket all the time. 4. Your body will change in ways you never expected. I became violet from Willy Wonkers chocolate factory almost instantly overnight. I was a puffed up waddling blueberry. And it's not the same feeling as putting on a few KGs it's a cargo ship for a human and is exhausting and painful, so put your swollen feet up after each day. I used to lay on the bed or floor with my legs up against the wall just to run the circulation back down to my legs. All these changes won't kill you though. They'll feel at times like they are but again your body is beyond amazing. 5. Shoving evening primrose oil up your hoo-ha is a real thing not to bring on labour but soften the cervix and I totally believe in it as well as raspberry leaf tea tablets into the 37th week. My cervix was nice and soft when I presented for labour and once in active labour things moved relatively faster than I had imagined.... My haemorrhoids took the cake in pain. There's no real medical proof behind it but I feel I'd like to vouch for this alternative method. 6. There is no real point to a birth plan. Your baby will do what it wants so don't go in thinking you'll waltz in have a nice natural water birth with aromatic oils and Himalayan monk music humming in the background. You might need to get out of the water and be on a bed. You might need to have an emergency c-section or forcep delivery. That is ok! That is still birth that is not you failing or doing the wrong thing. The wrong thing is to fight off the midwives and doctors when they are concerned and intervention is needed. I had Ollie via big salad tongs forceps and I'm so grateful I went in open minded and kept a asking for the epidural haha! 7. Once earth side your baby will throw you a surge of hormones, you'll be so in love, in awe, in pain, hungry, exhausted, anxious, proud, terrified. That roller coaster is normal and seriously utilise the midwives help as much as possible whilst in hospital. I buzzed them every time I put Ollie on the boob to make sure I was getting my latch right. I buzzed them when the sheer pain of afterbirth meant I couldn't get up to get him out of his bassinet so I'd need a hand. Midwives to me are Angels and boob and vagina experts. 8. It's ok to cry and feel overwhelmed it's ok to feel like you don't have a clue what you're doing because seriously pretty sure most Mums have just winged it, I'm still winging it with Ollie and he's not got many real complaints other than how dare I shower whilst he snoozes because he will awaken and cry and let me know he's not impressed with such abandonment in his cot for 5 minutes. 9. Take time for you postpartum, if your partner, mother, sibling or close friend can mind your baby for a wee while, go throw on a face mask or go for a drive to get a coffee, seriously rebellious wild feeling about being child free in the car it's speakers full boar and bad ass mama all the way. 10. You've done an amazing job, birth & beyond truly changes you and you're a bloody legend for what you've done so don't ever forget that! But also know if you're not ok it's not weak it's empowering to ask for help. My ovaries still twist and turn in a painful manor when I see heavily pregnant women, newborns or entourages of families of 5 children navigating their way through the plaza with precise chaos. I just think ouch no thank you. I have my one little Gang member and when I look at Ollie now even through sheer exhaustion some days I just think. This all happened for a reason and the unconditional love and lengths you will go to for your wee one is indescribable. It's ok to not enjoy pregnancy, I did not feel glowing and blossoming I felt like a whale with my extra 25kg and pelvic instability. Now though, worth it and even more. So I hope some of these tips and words help reach some Mama bears out there. I sure as hell know I wish I spoke to more Mums with little ones when I was pregnant. Rise and roar you courageous ferociously brave Mamas be. Love from Ollie & I xx
