#also socks. yippee. I guess.

[gods-favorite-autistic]

I’m feeling conflicted

MLB character sleeping positions headcanons but it's just the Agreste Family

Gabriel: I believe he would sleep one of two ways. The first one would be on his side, more specifically his left. I don't know why I think that, don't ask me. Number two is on his back and breathing through his mouth. And he's snoring loud. And he's definitely been kicked either

Off the bed

In the balls

Out of the house

because of it. I believe it would be a problem for everyone involved. Maybe it's a combination of all three. Who knows. Also he would wear socks. Cause he's strange.

Nathalie during expeditions: on her back, not moving crossbow within reach. You cannot change my mind on this.

Nathalie before she was sick: she just wouldn't sleep unless she absolutely had to. Mentally draining herself until there are no thoughts left behind. When she did sleep, it would be in a private space where nobody could get her, the only place she truly feels relaxed. I imagine her curled up in a closet in the dark.

Nathalie while she was sick and onward: she'd roll around a lot and shift positions because she got on antsy and stir-crazy. But the favorite I feel like would be her stomach. While it may make things hurt more, she's less likely to choke on her own blood overnight. Yippee!

Emilie (we haven't seen her in a position awake yet so I'm counting this): She would sleep on her back with a bunch of pillows. Always one under her back and multiple for her head. And a few cuddling pillows. Sleeping mask, hair cover thingy.

I would do Adrien but we've seen him wake up and I'm 80% sure it was on his back so yeah I guess Adrien sleeps on his back

1 of 2 resident Dragon hybrid creatures in my host’s head. For a while it thought I was just it, or its fursona, but it recently realised otherwise. Pretty neat!

Just like HB, I’m an artist and fanfic author. Our whole system shares those hobbies, actually

I like to have fun :3

I’m generally a pretty nice fella, but I can get REALLY mean when I’m mad (if I say some off-colour shit to you when I’m pissed abt something unrelated, I’m so sorry). I’m super energetic and creative — I love being. I was gonna add something to that but it works as just I Like Being. Cuz I do!!!!! I LOVE being!!!!!!

I don’t remember a whole lot of stuff from before I was brought to HB’s head, but from what I do remember I know that I used to live in a pretty lush and humid place with a lotta plants and animals hanging about. There was a bigass lake nearby where I usually stayed, I swam there a lot. Now, though, I’m just chilling here in the southern US with my host and their other headmate Avarice (who I’m very much besties with, hi ava ily). We can’t do much now, because of the governments royally fucking shit up for us, as well as HB just being disabled and much less energetic than me, but we make it work.

As a Fire dragon, I do have fire magic! I never used it often, and I can’t use it at all anymore, but I still love fire. Bonfires are awesome. I also have some rudimentary Light-based magic, because Angel genetics. Pretty cool stuff right

[mothmans-wedding-photographer]

Mothman's Buffy rewatch: Season 4, episodes 17, 18, and 19 "Superstar" "Where the Wild Things Are", and "New Moon Rising"

Superstar

all are really bad at helping

Gross slurping noises

Buffy you could take more than 2, you have many times

ITS JONATHON?? WHY WOULD THEY NEED HIS HELP?

JONATHON IN THE INTRO DOING SLAYER SHIT??

I GENUINELY DO NOT REMEMBER THIS EPISODE WHAT IS HAPPENING

"Thanks Rupert" 😭😭

I love how Anya is still a human in this universe

I can't tell if he's being mean or trying to hype her up

"Don't you agree, SPIKE"

Why did Buffy get worse at banter in this universe

So the Faith thing also happened?

Jonathon poster replaced the balls poster :(

Is Buffy still the slayer, just worse?

Jonathon becomes a therapist

I agree it's really not Riley's fault

HES SO SHORT

Tbh I understand why Buffy would feel anxious about that

Jonathon is such a stand-up guy, he's serenading them 😭

Yay Karen with a K survived

Felt kinda patronizing

Adam knows?

Oooo he's got the symbol

Buffy gave HIM CLASS PROTECTOR AWARD AT THE PROM? This feels so wrong

Oh shit I didn't realize how long it's limbs were at first

Nice spell Tara

:(

Jonathon this is suspicious

Kind of fucked up that Jonathon gets to be a hero and well-loved but Buffy hates to fight in shadows and be treated as a freak

JONATHON COMIC BOOK?

Ok so she is still the slayer, just can't really slay

Anya's trying her best

He graduated from med school 😭😭

He coached the women's soccer team ?

"Prawns?" aksbdjqnsksbwksb

Jonathon swimsuit calender 😭😭

Anya what the hell "lickable"

Anya you are NOT helping

Tell him Buffy!!

Ewewewewew Spike gross

Yes Buffy fight the programming !!

Excretion of gold coins

"Xander don't speak Latin in front of the books"

Damn Jonathon not cool

Jonathon don't do it no don't do it

Bro was definitely considering it

Jonathon creates a world where Buffy is consistently wrong? That's so mean

Jonathon with the stalactite!!

"I remember this. This good"

I like that he saved her even after the spell was gone and he was himself again

Oh my gosh she caught him last second

Yeah I'd be angry too tbh

"You weren't socks" man they definitely were

Where the Wild Things Are

I dont think I watched this episode the first time I watched Buffy. Probably because of the sex

Reading the description of this episode. Buffy can't ever just have sex without it being a big thing lmaoo

Man that was a really risky move, Riley holding the vamp while Buffy shoots 😭

XANDER WITH THE SNACK TRUCK

Anya you're a grown ass vengeance demon

Only two nights without sex is crazy

do not have sex in the snack truck

THE PEOPLE THERE AJDBEBBSJSNDEJ

Tbh I don't like how demons are kind of treated as a monolith like "oh none of them give a shit about demons outside their species" it's just so booorrrriiing when fantasy series make everyone in a species the same

"You're not even bumpy amymore"

Anya and Spike interacting is so funny

"I'm beginning to understand why you're so friendless" clocked him

"Still love me?" Willow girl 😭😭

Spike and Anya chilling in the club

I fear for Xander's safety with Anya sometimes

I get missing having powers though that would suck

"Inherent sensuality about language" man stfu

Orgasm wall is crazy

Tara's a horse girl????

Does the sex house make her feel catholic lesbian guilt or some shit what

"HOSTILE 17!! WANT A DRINK HOSTILE 17?" AHAHAHAHA

Xander and Anya break up

Ok that was a bit much girl

Cutting her hair as punishment is a bit odd

Ominous ass bathroom

Bro dissolved like a bath bomb

Yippee Tara's back. Where did she go in the first place though.

Roots??

Can't believe Buffy and Riley fucked so hard they started an earthquake

Commando gets hit with spirit of christ I guess

Oh ghost girl

Spike finally gets annoyed enough to get up

Spike 😭😭

"Actually all that sounds pretty convincing" lmao

Anthony steward head you will always be famous his voice is so good

The embarrassing part was I heard him start singing and I was like "where did I hear this song before" and it was a warrior cats music video

"I'm fighting total mental breakdowns right now, don't throw fuel on the fire"

"Well that sounds like crazy talk" Girl how are you this old and don't have a clue what's going on in Sunnydale

Did she like. Murder them for having sex

OH that's why Julie was cutting her hair

Oh she. Drowned teens. Like not enough to kill them but that's scary as shit

"She who smelt it dealt it" ASSHRHHSHEHE XANDER

So the ghosts are not actual ghosts. I don't think that's the definition of poltergeist? I'm pretty sure poltergeist are just spirits that can touch things

"And a little hungry" anya's so real

I think they figured it out

"Get over it" WILLOW

Shit he's getting drowned

"SHUT UP!" *immediately gets stabbed through the hand*

Are the plants like some garden of eden reference

They're so exhausted man 😭😭

"No one got injured" ANYA GOT STABBED THROUGH THE HAND

Lowkey I wanna learn more about this school? And the spirits of suffering being turned into ghosts? Hey what it Scott Cawthon watched this episode and it inspired him to create agony in fnaf (I'm sure he didn't but that would be funny)

New Moon Rising

Willow a dog person 😔 I've been betrayed

MISS KITTY FANTASTICO FIRST MENTION!!!

Their gay asses

Oz in back. Sorry to tell you man but Willow is gay

"I didn't know you were such a bigot!" Riley gets canceled by the work mob (Buffy Summers)

Yippee his werewolf stuff is under control, good for him

"I talked to Xander, and he said you didn't have a new guy" Well. Not technically wrong

Non Oz werewolf, wonder who that is

Poor Tara she probably think they slept together

I would describe Tara's hair as more silvery tbh

Do we know anything about his mother?

Riley come on man 😭😭

This episode is making me so anxious I just want Willow and Tara to talk

"You mean Tara has a crush on Oz" Buffy you're dense

Yay Willow comes out to Buffy!!

Calling her Will because it's more masculine 😭😭

Now Buffy isn't beating the bigot allegations

Spike just chilling

Oh I forgot about Adam tbh

I understand why Tara was worried because like her partner spent the night in a room with her ex

Oz is pissing me off this episode but it's not his fault it's just the fact that he's here lmao

"You smell like her"

Ok nevermind now it is his fault

Oz don't grab her and yell shit that's scary

Oz turns into a werewolf out of rage that his girlfriend moved in after they broke up

Shit Oz got captured

"You were a boy scout?" "Parts of me"

Well. At least Riley is trying to help now.

The transition 😭😭

Couldn't they at least give him some clothes

Yay Riley

Well that didn't last long

Evil olive 😭😭

"Hey you dropped your-" immediately gets knocked out

Well ripping out the wires sure gets the job done

Get his ass Riley!!

Riley on the run from the initiative, because of his kindness for a guy he doesn't know

"You found out Willow was in an unconventional relationship and you momentarily got the wiggins" You're talking about yourself as well

My dad and brother keep talking over the show I'm trying to hear this heartfelt moment

"I sort of felt you'd be waiting for me" womp womp

It's weird that they had this conversation where Willow's like "I feel like I'll always be waiting for you" and then made her fully a lesbian

"I am" YIPPEE

[p-an-cakes]

Meet Simon and Charlie! I believe they made their first appearance in my doodles from Math class.

Anyways they are sock puppets! They don’t have arms or legs but they float and talk. Magic✨

I actually accidentally made them!😅

During Computers I was doodling (that class is literally just break time it’s so chill and the teacher too) but I accidentally messed up the doodle. And it was pen so I couldn’t erase and start over. I was pretty sad about it to be honest but whatever. I talked to my friend (also big shout out to him!) and we were just talking and he mentioned something about a sock.

And then boom! I got the idea to make the messed up drawing a sock! So that’s what I did. And that was how Simon (Striped one) was born! I was proud but he looked so lonely and I decided to give him a friend. And then Charlie (the one with out stripes) came into the mix! :)

I love these two so much!❤️

I actually came up with Charlie’s name first. I named him in Computers when I first made them. I honestly don’t know why I chose Charlie out of all of the names possible. I guess he gives me Charlie vibes. I don’t really know to be honest. 😅

I came up with Simon’s name like 2 days after they were made. During that time I needed a name but I couldn’t think of anything. But I was reading a book during that time and so saw the name Simon. And Simon and Charlie just sounded right. And that’s the story behind his name.😁

Anyways these two are like my children! I will love them and protect them! Anyways here is a bit of info about them, like actual personality traits and stuff!

Simon - The striped one

Age: Unknown

Species: Sock Puppet

Gender: Male

Relationship Status: Single

Simon is the more serious one or the one that takes things more seriously. He doesn’t like to mess around much and prefers to get things done first before actually going to do something fun. He seems rude but is actually nice! (Maybe not that nice but he is kinder if you get to know him better,) Simon cares for Charlie that’s why he always scolding him because Charlie isn’t the brightest and almost himself killed a few times…

Charlie’s Opinion: “Simon is nice! I don’t get why people say he is being mean to me all the time… I think it’s stupid, Simon does care he helps and makes sure I don’t die! Yippee!”

Simon - Not the striped one

Age: Unknown

Species: Sock Puppet

Gender: Male

Relationship Status: Single (Has ex GF)

Charlie is more of a not so serious… he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed either… Charlie messes around a lot earning a scolding or lecture from Simon. But Charlie isn’t rude or mean actually he is a social butterfly! Charlie likes to dress up for fun, he doesn’t like to sit still and acts more like a child than anything other. Charlie gets himself in dangerous situations because he is clueless of people’s true intentions b it that’s why he likes having Simon around. Charlie actually dated someone but they broke up because it wasn’t working out, (really his gf was controlling his whole life) but thanks to Simon he is doing good!

Simon’s opinion: “He is loud, stupid, and childish. But he is kind I guess.”

(First drawing of them💫)

n e way im glad u think i seem nice :] yippee !

[askmissthunder]

I thought it went great, especially since it was my first time throwing this type of party!

Eli arrived early to give me a hand tidying up, mainly with vacuuming and dusting. It had been a while since I had new guests over and the last thing I wanted them to think was I lived in a pig sty. Cassie would've helped too, but she was busy rounding up the girls since none of them knew where I lived.

Talon arrived early as well in the only way she could: up the fire escape and outside my balcony. Eli and I nearly leaped out of our skins when she knocked on the glass door.

"You know I have a front door, right?", I asked, letting her in.

"Yes but too many people would know I was coming into your building.  They might ask questions."

"Sure, because climbing up the side of the building is so inconspicuous."

I saw that despite Talon's glum attitude, she was already dressed for the occasion, wearing a Slayer T-shirt with torn off sleeves and dark flannel pajama pants.

Seeing her sleeping clothes only reminded me that Cassie's friends would have to be subjected to seeing me in my sleeping clothes.  And by "sleeping clothes", I mean some of my Nan's old Circus Fat Lady costumes and let's just say that Nan wasn't afraid to show off some skin back in the day.

As I finished putting up some snack trays (lots of Halloween sweets and frosted pumpkin biscuits), I heard Eli give a loud sniff.

"What do you smell, luv?", I asked with a smile.

*Sniff!*

"Lots of hair products..."

*Sniff sniff!*

"Nail polish and old socks..."

*SNIFF*

"Mmm! Candy apples! Penny, the girls are here!"

"Yippee.", Talon said monotonously, setting up her sleeping bag on the floor.

Not even a minute later, my flat's intercom buzzed.

I trotted over by the front door to answer, "Hello?"

Cassie's voice crackled through, "Hey, girl! We're all here!"

"Fantastic! Come on up, then!"

I turned towards Eli, "Wow, luv! You smelled them all the way at the bottom floor!"

Eli leaned back against the wall, smiling smugly, "Well, when you got a nose like mine..."

I pinched his cheek playfully as I remembered I had to play the part of huge fat girl with very limited mobility and took my spot on the couch.

It wasn't long before there was a rapping at my chamber door.  Eli, ever the dutiful boyfriend, opened it with a theatrical bow. "Enter! If you dare...", he said in a mock Vincent Price voice.

In the doorway, stood Cassie and the Dance Squad. "HEEEEY!", they all shouted in unison as they marched in, all of them carrying duffel bags, pillows, and blankets.

"Hello, hello, girls!", I greeted, waving excitedly.

"Wow, Penny!", Karen exclaimed, spinning around, "You got such a big place!"

I chuckled, gesturing to my body "Well, it has to accommodate all of this, you know?"

"Ah didn't know what food y'all might have but Ah brought some caramel apples straight from home!", Amanda stated, holding up a tray filled with the scrumptious delights. I looked at Eli who gave me a knowing wink.

"Damn, girl! These are all yours?", Tamika asked, pointing at the boxes and stacks of vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs I had in the corner of my living room next to my stereo. It was hard to miss.

"I told you Penny's a music buff!", Cassie said while dropping her gym bag, claiming the spot. "Go ahead! Ask her anything about music!"

"Okay, what year did....oh, the Thiller album come out?", Stacey questioned.

I grinned, "1982."

"Pssh! I could've told you that!", Lailani stated, "Let me try."

She looked through my vinyl selection and gave a sly smile. "Penny, in the Indigo Girls album, Strange Fire, what is the sixth track?"

"Ah, that's a trick question. In the original Canadian release, it was 'Hey Jesus' but I have the American re-release, so Track 6 is 'Get Together', a cover originally by the Youngbloods."

The girls all "Oooooh"ed at that.

Deb stepped up, "All right, all right, I got one!"

She cleared her throat and sang, "Dah! Dah dah! Dah dah dah dah dah dah! Dah! Dah dah! Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah!"

"Serenade No. 13 in G Major, more commonly known as Eine kleine Nachtmusik by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart."

Deb threw her arms up, "Damn! And I just watched Amadeus last week! I give, Penny. Cassie wasn't just bullshitting us as usual."

"Oh, hush!", Cassie snapped back, "I would never joke about Penny's music knowledge! And what the hell do you mean 'as usual', Miss 'there are alligators in the sewers' ?!"

"There are alligators! Just not in Ocean City! They only live in New York, you yutz!"

They both stuck their tongues out at each other for a moment before going into a giggle fit.

Stacey rolled her eyes, "Don't mind them. Not a day goes by without Deb antagonizing somebody."

Cassie gathered her composure and clapped her hands authoritatively to the dance squad, "All right, ladies! Pick out a spot! Get comfy while I'll go ahead and get those pizza pies ordered! Four of everything, right?"

"No anchovies!", Amanda spoke up.

"Yes, and for the love of God, no pineapple.", Tamika added.

"Aww!", Karen whined, "I like pineapple. And pickles. And asparagus. And Froot Loops."

"I'll get one pineapple pizza for you, Kare.", Cassie said comfortingly, "But only one."

"Yay!"

If nothing else, the party was a good excuse to get the know Cassie's friends better, especially since we would be waiting a while for our rather large pizza order to arrive. Mainly things like Cassie has been friends with Joanie, Tamika, and Stacey since their primary school days while Amanda, Karen, Deb and Lailani have only joined their circle in college.

Joanie, who you may remember made my Belle costume last year, is a Fashion major, hoping to make it big in the New York fashion scene. If my costume was evidence of her hard work and dedication to the craft, I suspect we might be seeing models sporting her designs in the near future.

Tamika is one of Cassie's oldest friends as both of their Mums were in the same theater company so they practically grew up together. Like Cassie, she's also extremely passionate about dancing. While her main goal is to become the next big Broadway star, she also want to open up her own dance studio.  

Stacey, Cassie claims, is the "Team Mom", always looking out for the others whenever they go out or making goals for them to accomplish with their dancing. It's not that much of a surprise, considering she's a All-A student with a 4.0 GPA who's also part of the debate team and has a job on the side as a babysitter.

Amanda, as her accent might have revealed, is a country girl straight from Kentucky. Her family owns a dairy farm and a small orchard so she's not afraid to get her hands dirty.  She's has that nice southern hospitality but she can get pretty rowdy as well, seeing how she nearly punched one of my bullies, Bianca, after she insulted Tamika. I asked her why she would come all the way to Ocean City for college. She responded, " 'Cause of the ocean, of course! We got lakes and rivers in Kentucky but Ah've never seen the ocean before! Ah figured Ah could use a change of scenery for my schoolin'. "

Deb is a New Yorker, through and through. She's loud, she can be abrasive and she's definitely not afraid to tell it like it is. (Except for volume, not too different from Talon but don't tell her I said that!) While she does have a habit of teasing the other girls for shits and giggles, at the end of the day, she's a loyal friend who's always got your back whether it be help for a complicated dance technique or lending a hand with changing a flat tire.  

Lailani immigrated from the Philippines with her family when she was just a baby. While she's a gifted dancer, having trained in ballet since she was little, I was surprised to learn she's a talented magician as well! Poor Eli, having no experience with slight-of-hand, was beside himself as her card tricks baffled him to no end.  

Karen is...odd, to put it kindly. She seems to space out constantly and blurt out whatever pops in her hear at the moment. "Hey, do you know horned lizards shoot out blood from their eyes as a defense mechanism? That'd be cool to do, just like 'Hey, get away!' and go 'squirt'! Heh heh!"  Deb tells me Karen is like this due to her parents being former hippies and might have conceived her while tripping on acid or so she claims.

Cassie had told the girls that this was my first slumber party so they were all eager to give me the "classic" slumber party experience.  Makeovers, games, talking about boys (or girls), the works.  As I promised, I made sure the girls didn't bother Talon, who only gave a piercing glare at they pulled out their makeup kits.

While the girls partnered up, Eli decided to give Talon some company by playing Street Fighter II on my Genesis.  Cassie browsed through my music library to play some mood music as a flurry of eyeliners, lipsticks and nail polish went wild.

I'm still not used to putting on makeup except for special or formal events, but even then it was my Mum who usually applied it. However, while trying to decide what to put on my face, Stacey only made a puzzled look.

"What's wrong?", I asked nervously, fearful that she would say no amount of makeup in the world would make me look presentable.

"Nothing. It's just...you don't really need that much makeup, Penny. You have very clear skin."

"Heh. A few years ago, my face was pretty damn spotty."

"Really? You don't have any acne scars or anything like that. What'd you do?"

Of course, I couldn't tell her that when I received my powers, it not only made me taller and fatter, it also cleared my skin and fixed my vision.

"Umm...just got committed to washing my face more thoroughly and acne cream, I guess?"

She smiled, "I'll admit I feel a bit jealous. I wish my face and skin were as nice as yours. I sweat even a teensy bit, my face practically explodes with zits."

The idea that somebody was actually envious of me, even if it was just my skin, was an alien concept to me. I gave out a snort, "Give over! I know you're not jealous of all this. What with my chipmunk cheeks and quadruple chins!"

Stacey's brow furrowed a bit, "Hey now. I wouldn't fib to you about that!"

She leaned over her shoulder and yelled to Joanie, who was busy applying facial cream to Amanda. "Joanie! Doesn't Penny have a super pretty face?"

"Oh, yeah, those big green eyes are to die for, Penny! Eli's a lucky guy!"

"Hell yeah, I am!", Eli called out, not taking his eyes off the screen.

"If you say so...", I muttered as Stacey applied very light touches of eyeliner.

It wasn't long before the intercom buzzed.

Cassie let out a loud gasp as she scrambled to her feet, "It's here!"

Pushing the button, she let out a a chipper "Y'ello?"

A man's voice came from the other side, "Yeah, I got an order of four pepperoni, four mushroom, four cheese, four Italian sausage, four Canadian bacon, four supremes, four-"

"Yes, yes! That's us! Come on up!", Cassie interrupted, practically bouncing on her feet as we could all hear her stomach give a tremendous growl.

"Cassie!", Tamika yelped, her eyes wide from surprise, "How are you still hungry?! You literally ate three foot-long hot dogs on the way over here!"

"Yeah, where the hell do you put it all?", Amanda added.

Cassie lifted up her shirt and rubbed her trim belly with the slightest hint of abs showing. "Hee hee! You girls should know by now that I got an appetite! It may be small but there's always room in my tummy!"

Everybody got up to help the poor pizza man out as he had stacks and stacks of pizza boxes to carry in.  I could only imagine what he must've thought seeing a gang of scantily clad college girls in various states of make-up, a handsome shaggy-haired boy, a tall buff girl staring daggers at him ("He might be an assassin."), and a massive blob of a girl stuck on the couch.

Then came two of the more harrowing moments of the party.

First, and as I said before, I decided to put on my "pajamas".  It was a dark blue silk two-piece outfit consisting of a tank top and shorts. I would feel a little more comfortable with it if it did a better job of covering my belly. The sad thing is this is the more conservative piece as the others tend to be more like nighties with short skirts.

With Cassie and Eli "helping" me walk to my room then back into the living room, I was certain the girls would stop and stare at this half-naked super fat girl in their midst. It certainly didn't help my mood by seeing all the girls in their sleeping clothes, mainly tank tops, crop tops and short shorts, showing off their super toned dancer bodies.

If it bothered them, they didn't show it as they happily munched on pizza and only gave friendly smiles as I plopped back down on the couch.  What shocked me most was that Karen actually got up and laid her head against my belly. I couldn't help but give a small yelp at the sensation of somebody other than Eli or Cassie touching my body.

"Ooh! You're really warm, Penny! And soft! Girls, come try this out!", she called out to the others as she nuzzled her head deeper and deeper into my blubber like an overly affectionate cat.  Stacey was about to scold her for her cheekiness but it was too late, the girls were upon me like piranha to a piece of meat.  It was...very surreal, to say the least, mostly because I was certain at least one of them would find me gross. Instead, they softly kneaded my fat, giving "oohs" and "aahs" at the sensation.

I know I probably should've told them to knock it off but as long as they weren't doing it out of malice, what was the harm?

The other harrowing moment was one I was both excited and fearful for: Talon's Halloween Movie Selection. Knowing Talon's tastes, it wasn't going to be a classic Universal Monster movie or a cheesy 50's B-Movie. As the girls' attentions was on me, they failed to notice Talon quietly going through her duffel bag and pull out a hefty stack of rental movies from the video store.

She cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. "Which one do you want to watch first?", she muttered. In her hands, she held An American Werewolf in London, Zombie, Last House on the Left, The Evil Dead, The Beyond, Intruder, The Shining and Suspiria.

I must be like a giant teddy bear to everybody as Eli took his usual spot atop my right hip, his weight sinking into my fat. The girls followed suit, laying their heads against my legs and belly. Only Talon refused to join in with the others, knowing that she doesn't like intimate contact at all.  

While most of the movies were, well, scary and shocking and disgusting and gory, Suspiria was probably the one that got under the girls' skin as it took place in a dance school. A little too close to home, that one.

"Oh God, I'd hate to fall into a pit of razor wire like that!", Lailani gulped, thinking of the grim fate of one victim.

"What if Miss Avery was a witch?!", Amanda squeaked out, thinking of their dance instructor, "Didn't she go to Germany for some convention last year?"

"Fuck me, you're right!" Deb cursed, "Is she part of a coven?!"

Karen giggled, "Maybe if we dress up as witches at practice, she won't try to kill us. She'll think 'I can't kill them! They're my fellow witches!'."

"Oh, you sweet, sweet innocent child.", Joanie said, rubbing Karen's head, "I know it was just a movie but...jeez!"

"Why did that dog attack his owner?", Eli asked sadly, "Is he okay?"

"No! He got his throat ripped out!", Tamika answered, "You don't walk away from that!"

"I was talking about the dog. Did he find a new owner?"

Sensing Eli's distress, I held his hand and gave him a peck on the cheek.   "It's all right, sweetie. I'm sure he's fine, although he may want to lay low for a while."

Looking around me, I could tell that Eli wasn't the only one stressed out. We did just watch several horror movies back to back so all the girls seemed on edge. Except Talon who was trying to fight off a losing battle against sleep, her eyes looking very droopy.

"Do you all want to watch something a little more...cheerier?", I asked, the image of the woman getting her eye stabbed out in Zombie, still fresh in my mind.

Eli, Cassie and the Girls all looked at me and solemnly nodded.

(A half hour later...)

"OH WELLA WELLA WELLA UH

TELL ME MORE, TELL ME MORE

DID YOU GET VERY FAR?

TELL ME MORE, TELL ME MORE

LIKE DOES HE HAVE A CAR?"

We all sang at the top of our lungs as we watched Grease in the wee morning hours while Talon slept on, snuggled up in her sleeping bag and ear plugs firmly in place.

Happy very, very, VERY Belated Halloween, everybody!
