#absolutely love shark cam

[batlleonafc]

I love how it's a known fact that Gabby only knows bad words 😂 I kinda wanna know who thought her those😂

[augment-techs]

favorite thing about them: CONFIRMED LESBIAN GREEN.

least favorite thing about them: Whatever the fuck was going on with Cosmic Fury. She lacked a LOT of substance.

favorite line: "There's no way to sugarcoat it, is there?"

brOTP: Her and Aiyon seem strangely very bro.

OTP: Izzy/Fern; why mess with it?

nOTP: Ollie, Aiyon, Zayto, Javi, Adrian. She gay, knock it off.

random headcanon: In her head she's constantly compiling a wardrobe to buy Fern for celebrations that AREN'T Orange; because she does not like her in that color (bad, bad feelings manifest).

unpopular opinion: I don't think I have one.

song i associate with them: I Couldn't Live Without Your Love, Petula Clark.

favorite thing about them: the stupid puppy dog face he makes whenever he looks at Amelia.

least favorite thing about them: his sexy lamp status in Dino Fury.

favorite line: "Can we say that I saved you all from a shark monster? Or, like, a dragon?"

brOTP: Mmmmmmmmmmmm, him and Billy. I dunno why.

OTP: Javi/Amelia, and @skyland2703 is to blame.

nOTP: Ollie, Zayto, Izzy, Fern. Aiyon holds occasional fancies, but not a lot?

random headcanon: Marshmallows might be his obsession, but he will also devour an entire cow if given the opportunity.

unpopular opinion: He is actually a little dumb. Not a lot, just a bit.

song i associate with them: Helena, by MCR, but the femme covers.

favorite thing about them: She's so gd soft and so Orange I wanna cry whenever I see this vindicated in her wardrobe.

least favorite thing about them: The fact that she had to play stupid, like, at ALL.

favorite line: "I'm not a good person. I'm not even a good BAD person."

brOTP: In the Dino Thunder crossover I feel like she and Cam played well together?

OTP: Dustin/Marah; yes I'm basic.

nOTP: No incest. And no Thunder Brothers (yes, I read the stuff on ffdotnet and I didn't like it).

random headcanon: Is actually Lothor's favorite because she makes the least amount of mess.

unpopular opinion: She and Dustin would actually be kind of cute and she absolutely felt terrible about hurting him.

song i associate with them: One in a Million, covered by SANDY.

favorite thing about them: Clearly a butch lesbian that could get it on with Tori if the writers weren't cowards.

least favorite thing about them: I didn't like her villain wardrobe. The pink hair as a tell was good, but if the design team was going to suit them up in their Toku version's outfits, she shouldn't have had to wear whatever the fuck was covering her rack.

favorite line: "You didn't REALLY think we're as dumb as we act, now did you?"

brOTP: I dunno, man, her and Zurgane kinda felt like they were work friends?

OTP: Kapri/Tori; the Blue Ranger probably saw her half naked when she traded clothes with them. I will kill on this hill.

nOTP: Marah, Lothor, Cam, Kanoi. NO INCEST.

random headcanon: If she ever got a morpher, she would be Pink; and like every Pink, she is totally down for murder.

unpopular opinion: She is not, nor has she ever been, actually evil.

song i associate with them: Klown Bitch, from Helluva Boss.

@lordkingsmith

Apologies for the delay, they was lost at the bottom of a wip file.

i would love to learn more about camber 🥺🐠

omg i would love to talk about camber!

So some basic background for the Aces - they were a squad of five clones who were put into stasis partway through the war and not defrosted for another thirty years or so. Ember was the squad's medic. After being released from stasis, he started trying to find his place in the world, and figuring out what he was, if he was no longer part of the GAR.

He's also, poor lad, completely deaf. His squad went through a lot to keep his deafness a secret, but post-war, they didn't have to worry about him being decommissioned. Yay for that! His brother Fury is a tech genius and is able to customise a pair of speech-to-text glasses for him. They're not perfect, but they make it much easier for him to figure out what people are saying.

One of his brothers is a massive nerd about marine life. Tatooine is part of a system with more than one planet. Its neighbouring one was never glassed, and is instead a lush ocean world. Ember and the family take a vacation there to visit a highly renowned aquarium. He has a great time!

Until his idiot brother taps on the glass in the shark tunnel, and one of the sharks abruptly turns and swims toward them.

Ember jumps back from the glass, startled by the bigass shark that now apparently intends to eat them. Unfortunately this means that he accidentally bodyslams some dude walking by and minding his own business.

Ember, being a kind soul, is absolutely mortified that this poor stranger's lunch is now all over the floor. So he insists on buying him another lunch to make up for it! They sit by the sea turtle tank to eat together, and that's when Cam becomes an unskippable cutscene. See, Cam has a lot of opinions on marine life, and two of the things held most dear to his heart are sea turtles and coral.

It's a couple hours later when Cam realises he's been infodumping at this poor man who probably wants to get away from him at all costs. He's immediately apologetic. Ember, on the other hand, is absolutely smitten with this man and wants to know even more.

(His squad is vaguely under the impression that he's been kidnapped by someone, until they find him safe and sound, and the very personification of 😍. They decide to leave him be.)

Cam takes Ember to see some behind-the-scenes things, like the coral that they grow right there at the aquarium. Ember is fascinated and Cam is quickly on his way to being 😍 also. It's really not often that someone wants to hear about the ppt salinity of coral-growing tanks.

Ember is also delighted to have a guided tour of the touch tank for the stingrays. He's enchanted with how soft they feel and how they always stick together in big groups, like clones used to.

At the end of their date, Cam buys Ember a sea turtle plushie. He also maybe writes his name and number on the inside of the tag, just in case.

Ember texts the number as soon as he sees it.

All things considered, their romance moves pretty fast, but honestly, nobody expected anything else from them. They were smitten with each other from day one!

Cam gets a tattoo of a sea turtle, with a love heart in the middle of its shell. He is very serious about how he loves Ember enough to get a scientifically inaccurate sea turtle tattoo, because sea turtles never have heart shapes in nature. This turns into him infodumping about the makeup of their shells, and Ember is very happy to hear it.

Ember himself has a tattoo of two stingrays swimming together! Because just like the rays are never on their own, he and Cam will never be alone, because they'll always have each other.

(His squad thinks he's extremely gross and sappy. They all ship it, though.)

Cam is the one who brings up having a kid. With all the sci-fi shit going on in Star Wars, it's possible for them to have a baby that's made of their combined genetic material. Ember had no idea that it was a possibility, and he's just as delighted by the idea.

They get to visit the baby-growing facility and Ember is always talking to her. Telling her how much he loves her, and how excited he is to meet her, and calling her the most glorious gift he could ever have. Cam likes the sound of kote, and asks what it means. And that's how she gets her name!

Kote, of course, goes to the aquarium all the time. She's a fan of all the schooling fish, but from the moment she first sees them, she's obsessed with the sharks. (Ember is not impressed. Anything for his beloved princess, but sharks. Does it have to be sharks?)

They have their baby shower at the aquarium. Everyone saw that coming. Cam's parents are slightly overwhelmed by the squad's, well, overall loudness and exuberance, but they've all always liked each other. Cam's mother makes a beautiful sea-themed blanket for the baby, and Cam and Ember are both in tears over how beautiful it is.

I felt compelled to doodle a small thing for @ibis-gt of their OC Cam meeting my OC Sheer! Y’all should definitely check out their stuff, it’s super cute, and their art style is lovely!!!

REDACTED CHARACTER HEADCANONS

Have a collection of random headcanons I’ve been collecting for a while :)

- He genuinely believes he dresses well

Vincent

- He has this fun little game where he tries to get into college house parties without anyone realising (and he’s usually successful since he still looks really young and can talk his way into anything)

- He definitely make those hand thirst trap pics (y’know the photos of men gripping their steering wheel with waaayy too many rings on, yeah those)

- He doesn’t wanna admit that he loves bats cause he doesn’t wanna feed into the vamp stereotype but he thinks they’re adorable (he probably saved one once and absolutely fell in love with it)

the dead poets on ice: another headcanon from hell

hey guys!! sooo @pretentious-strikes helped me come up with this idea so big big shoutout to faye ily bestie

uh yeah i had some trials and tribulations over this but it's here :)

also, when i say the poets, i'm including chet and ginny and chris in that. i need to give them a name though. i thought sapphic trio or sumn???

neil: i love this boy but he cannot skate </3 he's got so many talents and yet this is not one of them. he spends the entire time clinging to todd (who also isn't entirely sure he can skate well) and the other half quoting dramatic shakespeare scene and faking his death on the ice HAHAHAHA. can you imagine him pretending to stab himself with a dagger while quoting the end of romeo and juliet? and then he just. fake stabs himself and pretends to die on the ice while todd is like "GET UP I NEED HELP"

todd: the literal definition of "i think i'm doing it right???????" like he kinda knows what he's doing because he skated once two years ago but at the same time it's still a new feelings and he's disoriented?? the fact that neil is hanging onto him for dear life kinda makes him feel like he should know what he's doing, so he fakes it til he makes it because he doesn't have the heart to tell neil he is no safer in his hands than in the jaws of a shark. he leaves better than he was at the beginning, of course, but boy were those first ten minutes absolute hell for him (except for the neil holding onto him part. that was nice.)

meeks: not horrible, not fantastic, but secure in the knowledge that he can skate wherever he pleases without have to worry about falling over. he's just freaking zen the entire time, more of a spectator than a player in whatever chaos is occurring. he makes the occasional sarcastic comment, but spends the majority of the time focusing on his own craft (a.k.a. skating in circles around the edge of the lake). he'll help if anyone gets injured, but otherwise he's perfectly content with his own thoughts and we love it for him :)

cameron: who is a perfectionist? richard. who's good at everything on almost the first try? rich. who's fucking incredible at ice skating? CAM THE MAN RICHARDSON THAT'S WHO. when I say this man has the technique, the style, i mean he has it. he's told approximately no one and yet exactly everyone is in awe of this man's skills. and while he's not showing everyone up, he helps the others that can't seem to go two seconds without falling on their asses. moral of the story: get urself a man who can do both, aka richard cameron.

pitts: he is as tall as a tree and just as uncoordinated as one :) he's the type of person to laugh at how much he sucks rather than get frustrated about it? so every once in a while you'll hear a yell from pitts, followed by a thud, followed by the loudest, most infectious laughter you've ever heard. Like he makes everyone else nearly fall from laughing so hard. He just raises the morale like crazy but is probably also prepared with first aid training if anyone were to fall and break an ankle or something.

charlie: does not know what he's doing, but he's doing it very loudly and badly. he has a baseline skill set that includes standing upright and skating slowly on the ice, but it soon progresses into ZOOM ZOOM GOTTA KNOCK EVERYONE ON THEIR ASSES dalton. he's just zip zoppin through everyone, cackling his head off and trying to push a select few to the ground. he never once succeeds to push cameron down even though that's his main target because cameron has the balance of a flamingo and even though charlie's laughing he's internally thinking "WHY WON'T YOU JUST FALL AND VALIDATE MY CHAOS????" he leaves without having knocked over cameron, but it's fine. he knocked knox over more times than he can count.

knox: um...he's the worst out of all of them. like he is...abominable. he knocks himself and everyone around him off balance whenever he falls because he's the flailing, Not Going Down Without A Fight type of faller. he's definitely frustrated by his lack of skill, especially when Chris skates by and does a little twirl right in front of him. But he's determined to leave that place not totally helpless, but does he? no. charlie made sure he didn't. moral of the story: it could've been better if it weren't for charlie.

chris: I feel like Mrs. Noel would've been the kind of parent to put Chris in gymnastics or something when she was a kid and therefore Chris has great balance and would be a GOD at ice skating. Like, she probably do a few of the little twists and turns that lower-level figure skaters can do. She ends up getting really focused on trying to learn how to do a spin and goes off in her own little world for a bit before she realized she forgot where she was and goes back to hang out with Ginny.

chet: this man is a football player, okay? ice skating is not his thing. First of all it took a hot second to find ice skates that actually fit him, and then when he finally got on the ice he was caught completely off guard by how SLIPPERY IT IS????? so he hangs onto chris like she's a life preserver for a while until she gives him some motivational pep talk that convinces him to let go. he does the weird preschooler slide-walk thing for a while, you know where he's making the movements of walking but his feet are just sliding back and forth on the ice and he isn't getting anywhere because the coefficient of friction is basically in the negatives? but he ends up figuring it out and leaves with one-half of a new skill!!

ginny: queen has never done this before but she does NOT need anyone's help. She is so dead set on doing it all by herself and not allowing a single soul to give her help. When she falls, she dismisses all the hands held out to her and figures out how to get up by herself. Once she gets the hang of it, she allows herself to be dragged around by speed-demon Chris Noel for a bit and once or twice they fall down in a heap because Chris is skating backwards in order to hang onto ginny's hands and therefore cannot see where she's going and furthermore hits every poet like they're bowling pins. But they laugh every time they fall because it's lowkey hilarious and also they're in love <3

Ludkkuno Breakup #63

I swear this week is a resurgence of OTV and Friends content. Amigops on GTA, Lily and Wendy joining GTA, Toast flew back to LA yesterday and then he, Lily, and Miyoung went to get vaccinated together this morning and from Insta stories, he was bugging Miyoung to say hi because of course he was. And what's OTV and Friends without some classic Sykkuno and his original shrimp content?

Lud did a charity stream on Monday, Marbles. And I guess chat could attach things Ludwig had to do if their marble won, for example he had to wear a wig. One of them was a header that said "I hate Sykkuno" with a picture of shark girl next to it(Someone is Jealous). But then one was Block Sykkuno.

Ludwig crumbled when he realized that marble was winning. He put on super dramatic orchestral music and turned off his cam when he finally pressed the block button. But he did. It broke his heart, but he did.

He was able to unblock him not long later. But there was one problem. Blocking someone forces them to unfollow you. So how did he get Sykkuno to refollow him? He was angsting about in on stream last night.

Meanwhile Sykkuno's chat went to him and told him to follow Lud again and Sykkuno did the thing he does when guys flirt with him. He played innocent and coy, was all, "Oh, Ludwig is such a good friend! I already follow him, there's absolutely no reason I'd need to follow him again." And Lud watched the clip and was like, "Hear that tone? He know what he doth!"

Later on, he did say he heard about the block/unblock thing, but said he wasn't sure if he was sure if he should refollow but maybe if Lud tier 3 subbed, then giggled and said it was a joke. When Lud saw the clip, he immediately went to Sykkuno's stream, saying, "By god, he's going to make me simp." But simp he did and gifted 20 Tier 3 gift subs.

Sykkuno followed him back on and told chat they were back on "professionally and you know-" So romantically. It's a fun series of clips that you can find by wading through the Ludwig Sykkuno search on Twitter. Ludwig did it to himself.

I miss them. I miss OTV and Friends. I really hope they all come together for the upcoming Minecraft server. Obviously I love GTA but... Home is where the heart is, you know? And that's OTV and Friends.

Horror Movie a Day 2020

The past couple of years I’ve done a challenge of trying to watch a horror movie a day through the month of October. Last year didn’t go well since I was so busy travelling, so I’m hoping for better this time around!

Under the cut you'll find my list of watched movies, plus rating and some thoughts about them. I’ll also be posting every day at my film twitter. Lemme know if you have any suggestions for what I should watch this month!

Hereditary (2018) | ★★★☆☆ This movie was... not at all what I was expecting from trailers and such. The devil worshiping angle was definitely a surprise, which I didn't entirely mind, but the first and second halves of the movie felt very disjointed from one another because of it. There were some good moments, but all in all, not entirely sure I liked the movie.

Parasite (2019) | ★★★★☆ More a thriller than horror, but I make the rules! I enjoyed this one a lot for the sense of tension it achieves even when not a whole lot of “action” was going on until close to the end. And of course how well it depicts class differences and how deeply affecting poverty is. Very good.

Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959) | ★★☆☆☆ Granted, this is over 60 years old now, but it’s still very bad. And not even in a particularly fun way. It’s honestly pretty boring and not scary at all... But at least it was short!

Piranha (1972) | ★☆☆☆☆ So 70s it hurts lol And also so boring it hurts. I spent most of the movie wondering when something was actually going to happen. But the real thing I wonder now is why this was in my sharks, piranhas, and monsters movie pack because there’s approximately two seconds of actual piranhas in this and they’re not even really attacking anyone?? I think they may have included the wrong Piranha because the picture on the cover is... not this movie lol

Them! (1954) | ★★☆☆☆ I actually thought it seemed pretty well made for the time, but it was definitely very slow. Interesting as a reflection of US nuclear fears, which I don’t think gets seen as much in movies, though!

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009) | ★★☆☆☆ This is... so bad. I’m pretty sure their budget had to be like $5 and half a gig of stock footage, but even aside from the godawful CGI, the cinematography is almost unbelievably awful and the acting is often cringeworthy. It also wasn’t particularly fun? But the romance was actually kind of cute.

Mega Piranha (2010) | ★☆☆☆☆ I honestly can’t even count the ways this was a terrible movie lol And still, not even in a particularly fun way! More cringe than cheese, which was really just disappointing.

Beneath Loch Ness (2001) | ★★★☆☆ This was actually really not bad. The graphics were incredibly 2001, but it came off as very heartfelt and the characters and their relationships felt real in a way they tend not to in these kinds of movies. I enjoyed it!

30,000 Leagues Under the Sea (2007) | ★★☆☆☆ Not really a horror movie, but in a pack with my other sea creature horror movies so it'll do. Production value was terrible and the plot was sketchy, but it had some interesting bits. Overall a pretty hearty meh for this one.

Tremors (1990) | ★★★★☆ First rewatch of the year! It's been years, though, and I needed a refresher before watching the rest. This movie is basically the floor is lava with killer worms and I love it lol A really fun movie!

Tremors II: Aftershocks (1996) | ★★★☆☆ Earl without Val was not quite so much fun, but they did some cool things with the graboids. Plus many more explosions! Biggest complaint is the puppets and CGI didn't always mesh well.

Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001) | ★★★☆☆ Wish they'd stop ruining things with worse and worse CGI lol This one got a bit goofy even compared to the others, but it was overall still fun!

Tremors 4: The Legend Begins (2004) | ★★★★☆ This one was really fun! I loved that they went back to the beginning of the town, especially since it was easy to see how it became Perfection in the end. I think it's the best one, tied with the original.

Tremors 5: Bloodlines (2015) | ★★★☆☆ The cinematography on this one was sometimes very weird. And the Jurassic Park homages went a bit past "homage" at point imo. But still a pretty fun watch.

Poltergeist (1982) | ★★★★☆ I think I'd seen this before, but I really couldn't remember. Either way, it holds up pretty well! Very engaging and creepy weird, with some good gross moments too.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) | ★★★★☆ Very enjoyable! Tim Burton's style meshed very well with the story, and of course the cast was full of wonderful actors. Unfortunate that Depp stars in it, but what can you do?

Underworld (2003) | ★★★★☆ Not horror exactly, but definitely adjacent enough. Great aesthetic and very enjoyable (re)watch! Also I super appreciated the soundtrack lol

Lake Placid (1999) | ★★★★☆ After I started watching, I realize I think I've seen this before. Still enjoyed it! The characters are definitely the draw more than the croc, though. Would have liked to see a bit more of it

Ghost Town (2009) | ★★☆☆☆ Holy bad acting and shaky cam Batman! Terrible movie with the barest hint of an interesting one beneath, but I think my biggest complaint is there was a Wiccan ritual being done... in the 1800s lol

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976) | ★★★☆☆ There were really no horror elements in this to speak of, which I found a bit disappointing, and I also didn't feel like it had a very satisfactory ending. But I did enjoy the movie for the most part. I guess I just wanted more.

The Witches (1990) | ★★★☆☆ Mostly just pretty goofy, but a fun watch and it felt very seasonal. Anjelica Huston was, of course, the best part! Though I'm always happy to see Jim Henson puppetry as well.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) | ★★★★☆ This was uh dated in several ways that make it a bit of an uncomfortable watch. But I really did enjoy it! The Clarice/Hannibal dynamic was even better than I'd been expecting.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) | ★★★☆☆ Wow, that was something else lol Something absolutely ridiculous and incredibly weird, but also very fun! I really enjoyed the main three characters and the music too.

Insidious (2010) | ★★★★☆ Such a good sense of tension in this! A lot of that was thanks to the music tbh, but I do think James Wan just has a really good feel for horror. Also, a very good ending, I'm definitely excited to see 2!

Malevolent (2018) | ★★★☆☆ A fairly enjoyable movie, but it just felt a little lacking and it seemed like the end came up really quickly. To be honest it wasn't quite what I was expecting. I wish there would have been a bit more with the ghosts.

The Conjuring (2013) | ★★★★☆ A rewatch since it's been a few years since I watched it. Very enjoyable movie with good music, great tension, and some actually good jump scares. The Annabelle stuff seems disconnected to the rest, though, I wish that had been more tied in.

Annabelle (2014) | ★★★☆☆ This movie dragged quite a bit and I feel like things could have been compressed quite a bit and it would have been better. The cult connection also could have been explored a lot more imo, because it felt a bit slapped

The Last House on the Left (2009) | ★★☆☆☆ Way too much sexualized violence for my tastes tbh, but I liked the concept and the cast was very good. I think I'll try the original sometime and see how it compares.

The Amityville Horror (2005) | ★★★☆☆ I feel like I may have seen this before? Not really worth the rewatch lol Like this movie is fine I guess, it just felt a bit empty and was overall unsatisfying to me.

The Crazies (2010) | ★★★★★ I was a little iffy going into this bc I thought it might be zombie-esque, and it was, but I really enjoyed it! I liked what they did with the government satellite especially.

Midsommar (2019) | ★★★★★ I was expecting this to be good since I’d heard good things about it, and it so was! The sense of strangeness and building tension was excellent. And it was just such a beautiful movie tbh.

Hockey Game W/ Mark

Paring: Mark (NCT) x Reader

Genre/Tags: Fluff, NonIdol AU, Established Relationship

Words: 1.0K

Warnings: N/A

A/N Again another more appropriate winter time thing but for some reason these ideas just keep popping up. Also assuming the fact that Mark is a huge hockey fan and likes the Vancouver Canucks because you know, Canada. Enjoy ♥

~~

“These are not our seats!” you say as Mark keeps making you walk closer to the ice rink for tonight’s game.

“I told you I got them from a friend who couldn’t go but always gets the best seats. They’re right over here.” Mark points to the seats which were three rows from the glass, you were astounded.

“You best believe the Sharks are gonna kick the Canuck's butts tonight so just be prepared to be disappointed.” You giggle as you both get comfortable in the seats.

“I don’t know about that Y/N. I’m not sure if you’ve been paying attention to the Canucks but their track record this year, they have been on fire the last five games.” Mark retorts. To which you just smile and roll your eyes when the lights dim for the start of the game. Mark knew you loved to watch hockey and who your favorite team and how his favorite was one of their biggest rivals but he has never actually seen you at games. You loved to cheer with the rest of the crowd and egging your favorite players on, maybe sometimes a little too much but in your defense other people were worse. You both start to cheer as the announcer lists off the line for tonight's game as the players head out onto the ice. You soon boo as you see the Canucks take their place warming up. “Hey,” Mark says as he nudges your shoulder.

“What everyone else is booing,” you stick your tongue out at him then smile. The game is one of the most intense games you have ever been to. Each team was playing their absolute best tonight and it was causing the crowd to go wild. Who could blame them each time your team scored you cheered and cheered with others. Of course, every time the other team retaliated and scored Mark would cheer with the other Canucks fans near him.

After the first period, it was already tied 2-2 and you were hungry. Luckily Mark beats you to it and asks if you want to get some snacks before the start of the next round. You soon come back with some drinks, nachos, and your favorite, a soft pretzel before the start of the next round. “Can I have a bite please?” Mark says as he gives you puppy dog eyes and pouts his lower lip. 

“Only if you’ll let me have some of your nachos.” You bargain back to which he smiles and nods as you feed him a bite of your pretzel. 

“Hey, no feeding the enemy’s team.” A guy a row down and a couple of seats over jokes at you. You laugh and reply, “Sorry he’s the boyfriends and I gotta keep him fed.”

“Cute,” he smiles and turns back around.

“Well that was unnecessary,” Mark mumbles under his breath trying to pay attention to the game. You notice this and lean your head on his shoulder, “he didn’t mean it, he was just poking fun. We are wearing the opposing team's jerseys.” His expression softens and he gives you a quick kiss on the forehead before going back to watch the game. Before you know it the game is at the end of the second period with the score still 3-2. You both are just sitting and chilling as people are moving past to get some final refreshments before the last part of the game.

The announcer soon speaks, “Okay you hockey fans time for everyone's favorite segment on the ice, the kiss cam!” You begin to hear a mix of cheers and laughs as the camera on the big screen goes to different couples waiting for them to give a little peck. “Okay now let's see if we can give a little love to those are the opposing team, common now be a good sport.” You laugh as the camera pans to two guys in the different jerseys who eventually shake hands and then proceed to chug their beers together. You look down to check a notification you had on your phone when suddenly, “Y/N” Mark whispers.  “Huh,” you say as you look up and now see you and Mark on the big screen. “Oh my god,” you laugh and begin to cover your face. You turn to Mark who has a giant smile on his face almost laughing as you both lean in for a kiss. The crowd goes nuts. When you break the kiss you wrap your arms around under Mark’s and snuggle in still laughing at the coincidence of it all. “You are too cute you know that right,” Mark says as he wraps his arms over you. “I know,” you say with a smile returning back to your seat normally. “I love you Mark” keeping the big grin on your face. “I love you too Y/N,” he says before giving you one last peck. 

As the last buzzer went off signifying the end of the game you throw your hands up high-fiving those around you. The Sharks had won against the Canucks 4-3 finally breaking their winning streak. You and Mark make your way back to his car getting ready to head back home. “I told you so,” you say in a sing-song voice as you reach for the passenger side door to get into the car. “Yeah yeah,” Mark replies shaking his head as he starts the car putting his hand on your thigh. Let’s just say Mark did not lose by any means that night when you got home.

The Convention Fic Chapter 4

Beetlejuice x Reader (Gender Neutral)

First Chapter

Friday (Evening)

It didn’t take long for you to get ready to head to the aquarium. You dug through your suitcase and pulled out the outfit that you had brought specifically for partying in. Though you knew that this was a date and wanted to look nice, the aquarium would allow everyone to wonder around for a few hours before letting those who paid for the After Party into one of the Ballrooms, which Beej was quick to inform you was a 21+ event. 

You were practically bouncing with excitement as you changed and freshened up. The hyena that Beej had given you was sitting on the bed, protecting your phone as it charged. Beej was kicked back on the second bed, watching you with an amused grin.

“You know, you look great no matter what you’re wearing.” he commented, scanning you up and down. “But I gotta admit, if I wasn’t already dead you’d be killing me right now.” 

You gave him a smirk. “Is that rigor mortis, or are you just happy to see me?” 

He laughed, “And here I was worried that you’d be too tired for this.” 

“Normal tired is gone, I’m only left with that kind of 4 AM tired where everything is funny and I’m invincible. But don’t worry- I completely intend to pass out as soon as we’re done.” you affirmed. 

“That’s why you’re my best mod- you’re always ready to party and work.” he replied with a grin. “You ready to go yet, Babes?”

“Yup! Just gotta put my shoes on and I’m good to go!”

You grabbed your beat up tennis shoes, not wanting to risk blisters for the rest of the weekend. As much as you wanted to look good, you also had a job to do for the rest of the con. You swapped out your backpack for a small pouch that rested on your hip and around your waist and shoved your phone, camera battery, key, badge, and money in. 

“Ready!”

Beetlejuice just snickered at you as he pulled himself off the bed and looked you over. “I gotta say Babes, you look stunning for our first date. The fanny pack is really doing it for me.”

You pouted slightly. “Watch it, Bug Boy.” you warned in a playful tone. “Besides have you ever washed that hoodie?”

“Nope!” he said with such pride for a second you were inclined to believe him. 

The playful teasing continued as you made your way out of the building and towards the Aquarium a few blocks over. The sun was just now showing signs of going down, though late in the evening. Beej’s green-tipped hair was an interesting contrast to the warm yellows, reds, and hints of lavender of the setting sun. The air around you was comfortably warm as you crossed the busy street with other nerds who were also on their way to the nights event. The two of you cut through the large park where you had held the meet up the other evening, and Beetlejuice slipped his hand into yours again. 

It was comfortable. Though the two of you had only met in person just the other night, not even 24 hours before, it didn’t feel awkward or strange. Maybe you were closer to him than you had originally thought. All those late nights in the chat, playing games, talking on cam, they suddenly meant so much more now that he was there with you. He was real, and the two of you were close, and now here you were, on a date. A real actual date. A warmth spread over you at the thought. 

The air around the Aquarium was cooler than the air at the park. Perhaps it was the shadow the building cast in the late evening sun, or the slight smell of sea water that tinted the air. The two of you easily slid through security and presented your tickets before entering the building. 

The aquarium was large and tall, split up into five different sections ranging from river fish to freshwater fish, to ocean fish. Together you decided to start at the river fish, and you pulled out the video camera. Though this was a date, both of you agreed that even if you didn’t post the footage, it was still something the two of you wanted to remember together. You couldn’t help but be okay with that, plus seeing him through the lense of the camera as well as in person felt right to you. 

Together the two of you toured through the different sections, looking at fish, getting B-Roll footage of cosplayers and at one point Beej even interviewed a fan that came up and introduced themselves. With each new section brought new fish and creatures for the two of you to point and look at. Beetlejuice was fascinated by all the creatures, which surprised you. 

“I’ve never been able to see fish before.” he stated, which seemed like a strange answer. “I’ve never been to a fish zoo or even the beach before so this is all new to me. You know, I never understood the whole thing with humans being obsessed with other animals but I think I get- oh my god they glow!!” 

Beej grabbed you by the arm and pointed excitedly at the Jellyfish that were glowing against the blacklight of the tank that they were chilling in. Beej’s smile was so wide and his pupils were so large that you his eyes almost looked black. It was clear that this man was going to lose his shit at any fish that had bioluminescence. He was practically shaking with excitement as he pressed his face up against the glass like a little kid. 

You did manage to scoot him out of the way to allow yourself room to get some footage of the tangled mass of jellyfish. You agreed- it was really cool seeing the different fish glowing under blacklight. As you pointed the camera a Beej again, you swore that he was glowing under the light as well- the same green that you saw back in the arcade just the night before. You made a mental note to ask him what kind of hair dye he used but for now, your breath was caught in your throat with how... weirdly beautiful he looked. 

He was still the same Beej that you had seen a million times before on a screen, but there were some things about him that a camera just couldn’t do justice towards. His laugh was louder in person, and right now it felt more honest. Not that you were surprised, you always understood that internet personalities were just that- personalities. You saw what they wanted you to see but with Beej it felt different. Yes, in this time and place it was a more intimate experience being next to him and seeing him in person, but you were starting to realize how genuine and honest he was with his audience. You could feel your heart swell at the thought, not only could he be himself on camera, he could also be himself with you. 

“Oh man I’d stay here all night if I could!” he said, leading you out with a big smile on his face. “Next year we’re staying an extra day and we’re gonna sneak in here at night and scooba dive with the jellyfish.” 

“That’s a terrible idea.” you laughed. “I’m in.” 

He smiled at you, his eyes still shining with excitement. “And that’s why I asked you to be here with me!” 

“Someone’s gotta bail you out of jail when your roommates aren’t around.” you countered. 

The tour ended with the last area- the Ocean fish. It took you a little bit longer to make your way in there, as the two of you stood in front of the exhibit, pointing your camera at the mascot of the aquarium; a large orange fish named Deepo. 

The two of you stood there, laughing hard. Beej has his phone out and was going live as the two of you laughed at the ridiculous looking fish. 

“Disney... Disney please sue something!” Beej begged, zooming in on the wide lifeless eyes of the statue that smiled across time and space. “DEEPO. His name.. Oh God-Satan his name is DEEPO!” 

There were tears streaming down your face as you both pointed and laughed. Around you, some other con goers were also taking pictures, while some were looking at the two of you like you were high or drunk. It didn’t matter, the point is Deepo would either save your soul or destroy it. After cities collapsed, oceans dried up, and humans were eradicated- Deepo would live on as the uncaring God of the New World. 

You really needed to get some real sleep tonight. 

After finally pulling yourselves together, the two of you straightened up and finally the two of you stepped into the large tunnel, finding yourselves surrounded by fish and soft blue lighting. You couldn’t help but let out a small gasp as you looked up, seeing a fish swim over your head. All around you was ocean life- the tunnel was right under a large tank, allowing you to see fish from every angle. 

“Oh wow...” you whispered, looking up. Beej took the camera from your hands and started filming as you took in the view. Fish of all colors, shapes, and sizes were swimming around the two of you, feeling so close even though the glass protecting the tunnel was at least two feet thick. 

“I gotta admit, this is pretty impressive.” you heard Beej from across the tunnel, filming a small school of yellow fish. “I’m glad we- oh holy shit!” his head shot upwards and you followed his line of site and gasps. 

Above the two of you, a whale passed over head, followed by a shark. 

“That’s a shark!” Beej gawked, following the creature with the camera. “Holy crap, that’s a shark! Babes, I want that. I want that shark. I love that shark. I need that shark to live.” 

“Well it’s a good thing you’re dead because it’s staying here.” you replied, eyes still glued to the top of the tunnel, watching the larger fish swim around you. It was absolutely breath-taking. You moved to the side of the tunnel until your legs hit a ledge for you to sit on, keeping an eye on everything around you. You were suddenly okay with the suggestion of just staying here forever with these fish. You had no clue that fish could make you feel this safe or content. 

After a few minutes, you glanced over at Beetlejuice who had the camera pointed at you. How long had he been filming you staring at the fish? You felt a little embarrassed now. 

“Hey, I thought this was your show.” you said, trying not to be embarrassed. 

“It is, and I like to show off things that make me happy.” he said with a wink. “Plus you’re stunning in this light. I can’t be the only one that looks good here.”

The compliment felt warm in your chest compared to the cool air of the aquarium. You wanted to brush it off, or tell him no, or even fire something back at him but instead you said something that surprised yourself. 

“Thank you.” 

You accepted the compliment with grace and a smile. It felt true- between the amazing lighting, the outfit you had chosen, and the feeling of being with Beetlejuice... you felt stunning. Moe than that, with Beej around you felt seen. You felt like all your hard work went both noticed and appreciated. Everything you did for him he thanked you, praised you, told you how much it meant to him. He saw something in you that you hadn’t seen for yourself in a long time. For this moment, you could see yourself the way he saw you- an amazingly capable person, a fun person, a giant fucking nerd, a friend, a crush. 

That was the confidence boost you needed, and you felt secure. You felt safe. You felt like you could do anything you wanted because knowing that someone you looked up to and respected so much could see it in you. You stood up and walked over to him, keeping eye contact the entire time. You reached out and lowered the arm that held his camera knowing that this next moment was for just the two of you. 

Beej got the hint and allowed you to stay in control of the situation, knowing exactly what was going to happen next. You reached out and touched his cheek, feeling the scratchy beard against the palm of your hand. Briefly you wondered how much maintenance it took for him to keep it tinted green like his hair before leaning in and pressing your lips against his. 

His mouth shifted into a smile against yours as his free hand rested on your lower back. The cool skin of his lips combined with the cool air around you caused goosebumps to appear on your arms and the back of your neck. The kiss was short, only a few seconds long, but it was enough. When you pulled back, Beej was grinning hard and you could almost swear that he had hearts in his eyes. The two of you stared at each other like the dopey love-struck idiots that you were for a moment before you took his hand. 

“Come on, Love Bug.” you said. “Let’s keep going.” 

The two of you finally made your way out of the tunnel after getting a few more shots of different fish before making your way into the next room. Again, you were almost rendered speechless as the two of you found yourselves in front of a large tank that stretched from the floor to a very high ceiling. The large tank gave you a perfect view of how large the whales and sharks were compared to the smaller fish. There were whales and stingrays and large bloated looking fish you had never seen before. 

Maybe you would take up Beej on the offer of breaking in to spend the night. 

The two of you found a spot to sit in front of the large glass wall as you stared out into the water. In this moment, no words needed to be said. For once Beetlejuice was enjoying a comfortable silence as the two of you put away the camera and just let yourselves be. His hand found yours, and your head found his shoulder. Together for the next half hour, you rested and just took in the view of the amazing sea creatures swimming around. 

Around you, cosplayers took amazing pictures next to the tank, nerds took selfies with the fish, and the two of you couldn’t help but laugh a bit at one pink-haired cosplayer crying happy drunk tears over one of the large bloated looking fish. (“It’s so ugly!” she cried and laughed. “I love grouper fish! I love him so much he’s so ugly he’s beautiful!”). 

You almost dozed off once or twice as you rested against Beetlejuice. It felt so relaxing being next to him, that you wished that you could just spend the rest of the weekend here. But after a while, he nudged you. 

“You still good to go to the after party?” he asked. “It’s gonna start soon, but if you’re tired I understa-” 

“I’m gonna party!” you yawned and stood up. “Give me a sec to wake up and I’ll be good to go.” 

You took a moment to stretch and get your body to wake up. Turns out at the fish for however long you two were there had left you feeling pretty well rested and happy. Your brain was still a little fried from spending the past few days on little sleep but you could make the the next few hours. 

By the time the two of you made it into the ballroom where the party was being held, the DJ was already blasting music and people were lining up at the two bars set up on each end of the large room. There were two glass walls on different sides of the rooms, much smaller than what you had just been looking at but still large enough to peer in and see it was large enough to fit in a few whales. The tanks were dark at the moment, you assumed to give the animals some rest after a long day of being gawked at, but a few congoers were still camped out by the viewing areas, relaxing with their drink and peering into the darkened tanks. 

The two of you bought some drinks and found an empty standing table to stay at for the moment. There was a large dance floor in the upper right corner of the room, the DJ booth next to it. On the wall they were projecting clips from various animes and also Steven Universe for some reason. That was the only non-anime being shown on the screen, and you wondered who had put the looping montage together. 

Beej chugged down his two drink quickly, itching to get to the dancefloor. “I gotta show these breathers how to really party!” he said. 

You had to admit, you wanted to get on the dance floor as well. The DJ was playing an amazing mix of anime, cartoon openings, group dances, old emo music and songs that would make any nerd get up and dance. 

The music woke you up better than the drink in your hand. Beej politely waited for you to finish it before dragging you to the dance floor. Beej was a beast once he was in the crowd, jumping from group to group and dancing with anyone who would let him close. You couldn’t even be jealous when he found himself in the middle of a group of girls as he began flossing like there was no tomorrow. 

You could have sworn he said he hated flossing before. You wondered if that changed one he actually learned how to do it. 

The crowd started to form into a circle around Beej. People jumped in and out, showing off their moves and having small dance-offs. Everywhere people were cheering and having fun. The DJ changed songs, and a spark ignited inside you- this was a song that you knew very well. A specific song from A Goofy Movie that made every inch of your body suddenly go feral. Beej had his moment in the spotlight but now it was your turn. 

You were about to teach these nerds what it really meant to do the Perfect Cast. 

You waited for the right moment to jump in, your confidence fueled by the slight buzz of alcohol in your system combined with your amazing date with Beej. This was the moment you had been waiting for your entire life, and nothing could fucking stop you. 

The chorus kicked in and you found yourself rushing to the center, looking around at the crowd and starting on the dance that you had learned so long ago. Everyone lost their shit. 

“THEY’RE ACTUALLY DOING IT!”

“WOOO!”

“IT’S THE PERFECT CAST!!!”

“TEACH ME PLEASE!” 

“Oh snap, looks like we got someone who knows their Disney!” a voice said over the speaker and you realized that the DJ was talking about you over the mic. You snapped back into reality with a huge smile and looked over at Beej who couldn’t have been more proud of you. As you jumped back to the side of the circle and let someone else take over you got a few highfives and compliments. 

“Damn Babes, why didn’t you tell me you could dance?” Beej asked, still smiling wide. 

“I forgot!” you laughed. “Oh wow, I haven’t done that in forever. I... I forgot I knew it until I did it!” 

The two of you danced together on and off for the rest of the night, taking breaks to occasionally have another drink or rest. Beej had much more stamina than you, seemingly never needing to rest or take breaks. When you needed a second to catch your breath he’d hover between making sure you were okay and running back to the dance floor. You honestly didn’t mind, you loved seeing him out there, making friends and being the center of attention. 

By the end of the evening, as the party was starting to draw to a close, you found yourself sitting against the viewing glass, tipsy and happily gazing out into dark tank where a few whales swam in circles. The pink-haired girl who you’d seen earlier crying over fish was next to you, seemingly in the same boat. There was an unspoken agreement that this spot was the Quiet Spot. Even though behind you a party raged on, filled with nerds, and lights, and alcohol, this spot was for being drunk and watching fish. This was a pastime you could get used to. 

“There you are!” came a voice from behind you, causing the two of you to jump slightly. You looked up at beej and held your finger to your lips. 

“Shhhh....” you whispered loudly. “You’ll throw off the whales.” okay, maybe you were closer to the side of drunk than tipsy. 

The DJ started playing Don’t Stop Believing and there was a roar of excitement from the crowd behind you as drunk nerds scrambled to the dance floor. A chorus of voices of all kinds filled the air as everyone in the room seemed to sing along to the music that was pulsating through the air. 

“I think I’m having a religious experience.” the pink haired girl said, as she stared continued staring at the whales. 

“Me too.” you said, to Beej’s amusement. “Same time next year?” 

The girl nodded in agreement. “May the whales don’t stop believing.” she said solemnly. 

You stood up, wobbling a bit, but Beej held you steady. “You usually this much of a light weight?” he asked. 

“Strong drinks.” you mumbled with a smile, leaning into him. 

“Alright, I think you’re partied out.” Beej said. “Your fragile human body needs sleep. And probably other things too.” 

“Water... food.” you replied and the two of you made your way out of the building, headed back towards your hotel. The night air felt good against your warmed skin, you didn’t realize how warm the room had gotten with so many people dancing. You were comfortably drunk with a dopey grin on your face as you clung to Beetlejuice. 

“Hey... Beej.... are you my... booooooyfriend?” you asked, looking up at him. 

“I’ll be whatever you want me to be, Babes.” he replied. “Think you can handle dating a demon?” 

“Pffff... you aren’t scaaaary.” you slurred, and laughed at the offended look on Beej’s face. 

“Excuse you, I am the ghost with the most!” he said. “I’m the scariest demon you’ll ever meet!” 

“If you say so, neeeeeeeeerd!” you giggled. 

Beetlejuice managed to drag your drunk ass back up to your room, and helped you use your key card. This time you did not immediately drop your pants (much to Beej’s dismay) but instead went straight to the bathroom to pee, wash your face, and get a glass of water. 

“Beej... Beej I got a secret.” you said as you exited the bathroom. 

“Yeah? What’s that?” 

“I’m a little bit drunk.” you giggled and took a few long gulps of water. 

“No shit?” he smiled at you. 

“Not even a little turd.” he laughed at that. 

“I’m gonna... I’m gonna drink this water so I’m functional tomorrow.” you set the glass down. “OH! Oh! I did... I did something smart!” you were bouncing on your feet. 

“You’re the one that holds all the braincells here, but what did you do specifically?” Beej watched you with an amused grin as you stumbled slightly to the mini-fridge and pulled out a to-go box. “Got more food at Waffle House when we went. Because I’m SMART!” 

The two of you turned on the tv to watch a movie with too many commercials as you ate your cold waffle and drank your glass of water. You soon found yourself resting against his shoulder again. 

“Hey Beej?” you asked. “Where are you staying this weekend anyway?” 

He stiffened slightly at the question. He wasn’t ready to tell you that he was just teleporting between the con and his home hundreds of miles away. 

“I uh, don’t exactly have a room.” he replied, hoping that your drunk brain would let it go. It didn’t. 

“What?” you looked up at him. “Wh-where are you sleeping?” your eyes looked like they were tearing up, oh shit, oh fuck, he did NOT want to make you cry. “Are you sleeping in your car??” 

“Yes!” he blurted out. “I am... sleeping in my car!” 

“No!” you pouted. “No! Bad Beetlejuice!” you stood up with a look that would be angry if it wasn’t coming from a half-drunk breather. “Stupid Beej, dumbass...” you mumbed to yourself and walekd over to the tv, grabbing a small envelope and pulling something out. “Can’t do anything without me, I swear.” you threw a piece of plastic at him and he looked it over. It was an extra key-card. “You’re staying HERE for the rest of the weekend you stupid, dumb... stupid face!” 

When his mom had yelled at him when she was drunk, it was horrifying. He’d retreat into himself and tell himself he was as worthless as she said he was. With you, it was different. Your words sounded angry, but your eyes were full of hurt and concern. You didn’t really think he was stupid, or maybe you did, but either way it wasn’t a feeling of malice towards him. Someone was concerned for him, someone cared, someone wanted him around. 

Who was he to say no to that?

“Alright, alright, if it would make you happy.” he replied with a grin. “But where am I gonna sleep, there’s only one bed!”

You looked at him in confusion, glancing between the two beds in the room. You were drunk but you weren’t stupid. At least, you didn’t think so. 

“Beej there’s another bed right there...?” you questioned yourself. Was there one bed or two? 

Beej stood up and grabbed a hold of your suitcase that was laying on the floor in the corner of the room. He walked over to the second bed and sloppily dumped out the contents onto the spare bed. 

“I dunno what you’re talking about, all I see is this large pile of clothes!” he smirked. “I don’t know about you but in my experience humans don’t usually sleep on piles of laundry.” 

You smiled and let out a small chuckle. “Oh, silly me. I suppose you’re right. There’s only one bed. One large bed that we could both fit in.”

“I insist that you take the bed and I will sleep on the floor.” he smiled. 

“No no no, you’re the guest, you take the bed.” you said, grabbing his arm and pulling him onto the bed. He pulled back the covered and crawled in. 

“Nah, I think you should take the bed.” he pulled you close against him, allowing you to take in his scent. 

“...Your hoodie smells awful, take it off.” you grumbled, helping him remove the offending piece of clothing. You wondered if he had been correct about not washing it ever. 

You didn’t hear anything after that as sleep overtook you quickly. Beej’s cool body under the warm blankets created the perfect temperature for falling asleep. Beej held you against his chest and turned on the tv low. He didn’t need to sleep, but he would stay until you woke up. Your warmth and weight on him allowing him a feeling that he’d only ever felt in one other place. 

To Beetlejuice, you felt like home.

[the-starry-seas]

omg we both have star wars ocs! Isn't that crazy!

...I kinda wanna hear about them if you like sharing haha

I love talking about my OCs! And if you want to talk about yours 👀

Vinir is my favourite by far. He's a sneaky, cranky bitch through and through and I love that for him tbh. Professional killer and mercenary who loves nothing and no one except for his *counts on fingers* five droids. There's a reason I call him Droid Dad. He's aroallo (and if people still do face claims/refs for OCs, his is Sean Baek, specifically in his role as Fancy Lee from Killjoys).

He gets sent to spy on and potentially assassinate a Mand'alor (EXTREMELY long story here, but tldr adult Boba brought Jango back from the dead and Jango's having a grand time fucking with everyone). Problem being that he doesn't yet have orders to kill Jango when someone else tries... so Vinir's gotta save Jango's life to protect his payday.

He gets assigned as Jango's bodyguard after that, because Boba insists Jango needs some protection in light of a very-nearly-successful kill job. Jango's view on this is "I will accept a bodyguard to prove that I am better than him and don't need him."

And then Vinir can keep pace with him and the two of them form a begrudging alliance that develops into a qpr. There is a shitload of drama down the line when Jango finds out why Vinir showed up in the first place, but they settle things eventually. There's stabbing involved but that's practically a love language for these guys. Truly nobody else could ever fucking deal with either of them.

Racer is a close second, though. She's a clone trooper, part of an ARC squad to be specific. She's their demolitions expert and she is wildly irresponsible with this. (If her responsible older brother/squad leader keeps finding dud grenades in his bunk, that's totally not her.) They have a broken microwave that she keeps microwaving random things in to see what happens (they explode, except the space Furby, which starts sparking and gets them all in trouble).

She's a chaos gremlin to the max and loves horrible jokes and puns. If she can find a way to cause trouble and bother her brothers, she will take it and add some glitter. She loves all things fast, and is a part-time underground speeder racer, hence her name. She has plans to make a career of it someday and could probably be pretty good at it!

There is more complicated AU nonsense at play here, like there is for basically all my Star Wars characters. TLDR is her squad, the Aces, get time travelled into the future where they can do whatever they like without the war going on.

Racer promptly starts flirting with a pirate captain, and gets not only a cool new job as a pirate but *counts on fingers again* three cool girlfriends. She heard 'be gay do crimes' and took it to the absolute max. If you know The Orion Experience, that's her vibes, especially All Dolled Up and The Cult of Dionysus. I support her in all she does.

And Cam my beloved <3 He's dating one of Racer's brothers, Ember, and she is constantly at risk of getting Bonked for playing the grindr sound effect whenever she sees them holding hands. And the one time she played the wedding march.

He's a marine biologist with a particular love for the stingray tank. He and Ember have a meetcute where Ember literally trips and falls into Cam, and Cam catches him and takes him to lunch. Ember spends the entire lunch listening to Cam infodump about coral and Cam is ready to propose right then and there.

(Meanwhile there's some minor drama going on in the background, because Ember suddenly disappeared during a family outing and they're all mildly concerned he's been kidnapped or fell into the shark tank or got eaten by a kraken or something. Nope, all he fell into were those big brown eyes.)

His secondary love, besides the ray tank, is the shark tank. Ember's always a little nervous to see him diving in there, but Cam has three different sharks who consider him a friend, and he loves all of them in return. They've never tried biting him and he's good at what he does, so he's pretty confident and calm about swimming with the sharks.

He also knows sign language, which means he can talk with the mermaid performers when they're in the tanks. He's called the mermaid whisperer, and every so often he gets a letter from a kid on a field trip who saw him talking with them, asking how the mermaids are doing. He keeps every letter framed in his office.

The Adventure Zone Balance Liveblog: Part Two of ????

Episode 56: The Suffering Game-Chapter Six

Griffin: Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention this: the room around you, it kinda… it appears like you’re on the Rockport Limited again. Like, the room around you looks like you’re in a train car battling, and there’s like virtual windows looking out to like the passing countryside, like you’re on a train. Like, the room is recreating the scenes of these classic battles.

Travis: What a nice treat for the audience!

It i s a nice treat, my minds eye is very happy with this stage building (gOd I love Wonderland as a setting. Everything about how it’s set up, the aesthetics, mwah chiefs kiss, thank you for creating the perfect torturous hell Griffin)

-

Justin: Uhh let’s see, I’m going toooOooo… hurt Jenkins! (*Griffin chuckles*) With a magical spell. Of my own choosing~

Justin: Of my ownnnn-

Clint: This would be a spell that is magical?

Justin: Yeah, I’m just gonna do...you know what? I’m not gonna get clever on him.

Justin: I’m just gonna hit him with a...juicy, juicy, “Scorching Ray.”

Griffin: Mmkay!

Justin: I gotta make a ranged spell attack for each ray—

Clint: Are you scorching raayyy~~~

Griffin: Oh, that’s fun, Dad!

Travis: That was a good joke, Daddy!

Clint: I’m just bringing back an old one from the past!

Griffin: Yea, That’s a classic!

Clint: You’re bringing back all the bosses!

Griffin: -That’s a good point, Dad!

Griffin: Let’s do all our old jokes in this one!

Justin: Especially if they are like—

Travis: Yeah, let’s make this, this is like our “trapped in a room” episode, y’know, where we all—

Griffin: Yeah, this is our “bottle” episode.

Justin: Yeah, especially if they’re from other podcasts. That’s ideal.

I love banter (also is Justin okay he sounds either stoned or dead right now)

On another note, do-

Do other families other than the McElroys call their Dad Daddy? I have no idea if it’s a ironic thing or if it’s an actual thing people call their father figures? I'm trying not to base my American family centred knowledge entirely on the McElroys-

-

*Dice Rolling Intensifes*

-

Griffin: Something happens, that hasn’t happened in a w h i l e, and that is-

Travis: We feel something!

Mood

Griffin: He drops his wand, and Taako, your umbrastaff, turns inside out, and sucks that wand in, and devours it

Wait wait wait okay, I’m probably being real fucking dumb here and forgetting shit since it’s been a while since I listened, but weren’t they fighting like, conjurations? Made by all the fog and manikins? There was an actual wand?? Or more specifically, the Jerkins (Damn it-) counted as an actual wizard that was defeated?? I’m sure there was something said that I’ve forgotten like a goof, but whaaat?

-

SHARK TANK HOO HA HA-

-

Clint: All right! Here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to cast Divination.

Griffin: Okay!

Clint: This puts me in touch with a god or god’s servant, so in this case, Pan. I get to ask a single question-

Griffin, sounding way too overjoyed: Ohoo this is perfect, thank you. This is a gift.

If I’ve learnt anything while listening to this masterpiece of a podcast, especially during this arc, it’s that a happy sounding Griffin is never a good thing

-

Clint: I’m of no use as long as my powers aren’t working!

Griffin: Yeep!

Travis, amused: And so to combat that, you use one of your powers!

Griffin: You-you pray-

Clint: Travis, I am- Merle is a deeply spiritual character (*que incredulous Travis laughter*)

Clint: And in times of need, he turns to his God for guidance!

Griffin: Okay. Hit him up-

Travis: Like any good religious person, when he needs something.

Travis isn’t showing any mercy rn and in doing so, he’s fucking murdering me

Also Clint's talking to Pan voice is amazing, but it’s not as amazing as Griffin's “I know something you don’t right now but I'm going to play along with it for now because I'm an agent of chaos ; )” voice

-

Griffin: He’s just not there, he’s not there supporting you with holy power, he’s just-he's just gone

So what he’s out for smoko or something?

Real talk though, wheres Merle's homeboy at? Is this a Wonderland thing where there’s bad connection, or is it something else? Merle's cleric magic has been consistently wonky, but it’s still been working, so Pan couldn’t just be g o n e like Griffin delightedly revealed, other wise Merle probably wouldn’t of been able to cast any of his shit at all right? ((I assume, I confess I’m not exactly the most knowabable about Clerics-)) So this has gotta be a Wonderland thing, right? Unless Pan legit is just, out drinking with the mates, but from memory, didn’t Merle catch him at a bad time before during Crystal Kingdom?

... damn I need to relisten to shit

Wait okay, Griffin just said “less and less well”, so yes, Merle's shit is slowly getting worse n worse. Is it just gonna be McGone like Pan near the end of this? I’m curious to see what that means for Clint and how he'll deal with things if that’s the case

-

Griffin: What the Fuck's Cam gonna cast?

I was about to make a comment about that being a new smash hit graphic novel title, but I’m now too busy laughing at Griffin loosing his dice off the table

Feel ya there bud, feel ya there

-

Griffin: -you see a potted plant appear, and then a guillotine, and then a marble column, and then a coat rack, and then nothing.

Legit, what the fUcK is Mr Red Robe doing over there, and can I be invited because it sounds like they’re having my kind of party right now

-

Travis: Yeah! In fact, I am! Um, like listen, at this point, the magic people seem to have this shit down. All I’m gonna do is, what? Hit a tank with my axe? No no no. I’m gonna do what Magnus does best and go pull the arms off some things.

Actualy Travis, I would very much like to see Magnus hit the tank with his Axe, but I confess that that is not something I want to happen with Magnus's best interests in mind

-

Travis: I'm gonna pull the arms off, maybe throw the bodies at the tank-

That’s absolutely feral, I love it

[utsukushish]

Here is my boy I love hiiiiiiim. He's my Monster Prom OC and he's a DeepSea Spirit. He has a cute personality and really love anything shiny and pricy, he does everything he can to have you give him money (including cam shows). The absolute cutie pie with him on one of the pictures is the OC of @sassiestsupport and she's his bff. The two people on the last picture are his other friends, two spidery shadowy demons siblings named Meerah (left) and Leslie (right). I hope you'll love him as much as I love my shark baby

[jordanas-diary]

So .... I have been fairly inactive in terms of my own posts etc on this ole blog, so I thought it was in order to do another introductory post of sorts. 

My name is Jordana, I’m 19 years old, and I recently finished my first year of university at Victoria University, Wellington in New Zealand. I am completing a conjoint BSc (Bachelor of Science) - BA (Bachelor of Arts), majoring in Marine Biology and Statistics for my BSc, and International Relations and Spanish. 

Other than the things that I’m studying, I quite enjoy:  - diving  - photography - animals (mainly dogs and sharks <3)  - travelling !!!! (featured pic is one I took in Iceland while out hunting for the Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis 09/2017) -- my fave places that I’ve been so far definitely have to be Iceland, Denmark and Italy #EuropeONLY - watching sports -- including rugby (because I am a loyal Kiwi lol), hockey (I absolutely love the Netherlands!!! Both the men’s and the women's teams <3 Oh! and also the men’s German team xD), swimming (literally all the Australian swimmers, but like Mitch Larkin, Cam McEvoy, Caleb Dressel (USA lol) and Emily Seebohm <3), and figure skating (my faves are Yuzuru Hanyu, Javier Fernandez, Alena Kostornaia, Shoma Uno, Kazuki Tomono, Misha Ge, Pchiddy, Virtue and Moir, Rika Kihira, Evgenia Medvedeva, Jin Boyang, Satoko Miyahara, wow and so many more bois)  - reading and watching t.v series and/or movies (I’d love to go into more detail but then I’d become an author xDDDD)  - also like m8 I love kpop but it’s high key a guilty pleasure of mine :DDD

But anyways that’s me. I’m here because I love making friends from across the world, and I am constantly travelling, so that also gives me the opportunity to meet y’all??? I don’t know. Also, I’m here to create new and good habits for studying and the general life living, but like also, y’all be inspirational as fuck? Like teach me your ways please ???? 

Currently, in New Zealand it’s break time for schools and university. For myself, I don’t start back till March 2019, which is so far away :((((( so if anyone wants to be my friend before now that’d be chill - also advice for adulting would be much appreciated :D // also I have a studygram so like pls follow if y’all got one of them too <3
