#baby wants candy

[plant-lesbian569]

Just saw Solve it Squad at the Edinburgh Fringe and it was incredible! I really enjoyed the rewrites, all of the new lines and bits of dialogue landed really well.

The cast were amazing, so great to see Lauren back! Brian did fantastic as always doing all the ensemble parts and Gabe was absolutely on fire as Keith - he was probably the crowd favourite tonight. Also Corey Lubowich walked past me twice (once inside the venue and once outside), I didn’t say hi because I’m awkward but it was cool to see him too.

I went with my partner who isn’t a theatre person and hasn’t seen any TCB content before but she absolutely loved it and had a great time.

There was a moment during the van scene where Gabe and Lauren broke character after a line where Keith told Scrags to believe women. Lauren was struggling to get back into character but Joey brought the scene back and the audience had a great time with it.

Overall it was a great show and would recommend to anyone visiting the Fringe.

Unfortunately I didn’t have time to visit the merch table as we were going to another show immediately after but I did manage to find a folded Solve it Squad leaflet in another venue so I have that at least.

We saw Baby Wants Candy right after (featuring Ali Gordon of Starkid fame) and that was also a really fun show. It’s an improv musical comedy that’s different every night - tonight was “Illegally Brunette” which followed the story of a village where it is illegal to be anything other than Blonde. It was tons of fun, a silly story with crazy plot lines and catchy improv songs. Would also recommend to anyone visiting the Fringe.

okay i dont want kids but i cannot stop thinking about how good spencer is with kids. just thinking of like. will bringing henry into the office at the end of a work day because they're going out to dinner with jj after and they want to pick her up.

will goes off to find jj and you and spencer are entrusted to keep on eye on him, and spence is just. immediately so good with him. he's doing his little magic tricks like pulling quarters out from behind his ears and spouting endless facts when he asks him questions and just overall being so great with him, and you can NOT stop smiling

henry's like "do you work with my mom?" and spence nods, and he looks at you and is like "does she work with my mom too?" and spence nods, and then henry's like "she's really pretty" and spence looks at you too, cheeks tinting red but still smiling, "yeah. she is."

you nearly die on the spot.

and then you have to excuse yourself to the break room because picturing your crush as a dad is killing you very quickly. emily and derek can't even hold their laughs in as you run off

Something i find so fascinating about Turbo and his desires is just how human they are; it's normal to crave the attention of your peers, especially those you look up to/admire (keeping in mind how gamers to video game characters are basically gods in their world). I think that could potentially be a reason as to why I've been seeing more people admit to relating to him and seeing themselves in him; or at least, it's why I relate to him.

The only catch is how he takes his desires way too far, to the point of something so natural transforming into an animalistic beast beyond his own control. The racer is so preoccupied with the idea of being under the spotlight, the only spotlight, that it dictates every decision he makes; from how he interacts with others to how he processes his own feelings, it infiltrates every process of his mind. He yearns for acceptance, to mean something, but in the process of trying to attain that, he destroys himself alongside everything he knows, only spiralling even further down into his deranged obsession.

If he doesn't get exactly what he wants, or in his eyes, what he needs more than anything, he will take things to the extreme, acting completely on his urges to attain the only thing that could ever possibly satiate the null, hollow space inside of him; attention.

The path of the Hunt seems a bit self-contradictive.

Yes, most of the Hunt characters are proactive, energetic, enthusiastic, and singleminded, but 'hunt' in the traditional sense implies murder. Whereas most of it's characters seem to be motivated by the sanctity of human life, to a certain extent, or the idea of protection at all costs. It's usually not obvious at first glance but becomes clear when you get to know them a bit better.

Seele, who seems unfriendly and gruff at first, whose singular concern is the safety of the Underworld

Yanqing, an arrogant and overconfident child who, without hesitation, challenges two ancient legendary warriors to protect the people of the Luofu.

Sushang, who is called 'naive' in her Character details, is already a Cloud Knight at 15, who spends her days helping others and protecting the people of the Luofu.

Dr. Ratio, whose underlying philosophy of "all lives are worth living" is hidden under his stern exterior.

Topaz, whose methods are absolutely messed up and horrible, but her sincere goal is to give the people of Jarilo-VI the best chances to survive, whether they want it or not.

Boothill, who pulls a gun at everybody he meets, seems genuinely offended when Aventurine accuses him of killing his bodyguards.

i can never tell if people actually mean it when they talk like shadow literally wants to steal candy from babies and they dont know that "like taking candy from a baby" is just a common phrase that means something is really easy. or if theyre just joking because shadow stealing candy from babies is funny

OH MY GOOOOOOD!!! THE TAIL WAAAAAAAGS!?!!!! THATS ADORABLE!!!

I really love how Donnie and Leo are comfortable being hugged by Gus! Leo seems genuinely happy to be receiving affection and, even with his injured shell, Donnie doesn't pull away from the contact! Plus Donnie was leaning on Gus!

I get the sense that the two of them don't really receive much physical affection from anyone but each other but I'm so happy that Gus is there and just showering them with it.

Is Gus the only staff member that the boys are close with? They obviously don't share information with Gus but other than that, how close are they with him? I'm just so curious about this additional lore about their home lives!

also I think they deserve more cuddles and it warms my heart to see Gus just hugging them with abandon <3

heck yeah tail wags <3 where do you think the gemini learned it from? ;3c

and there are a few other staff members that the gemini are relatively close with, which i've touched on in the past! gus is probably who they're closest with, though, and the only one they get any physical affection from. he's known them since they were first adopted by big mama, and his main 'job' at the hotel has long been to keep an eye on them and keep them safe when they're in the hotel. he has the 'late shift' and spends nights in a big dog bed out in the hallway of the gemini's floor, guarding their rooms while they sleep, just in case anything happens or they need him.

i would say they're very close with gus! he's like a 'beloved family dog' and 'protective dopey uncle' combo and did a lot of caretaking when they were little-- the only constant amongst the ever-revolving cast of nannies, aside from their mother's occasional appearances.

that being said, there's a reason gus shares the color of another gemini character rather than having his own. despite everything, the twins are well aware of where gus's loyalty lies at the end of the day, and who he answers to. and as lovely as their relationship is, it's not them.

oh no you guys the girl who has maybe or maybe not been living in the unit above me for weeks is really hot this is such a bad situation to be in 😖

Oh you want to know what I wanna do to that man?? You really wanna know???

[nolongeragoodidea]

I realize this is going to come off as one of those Twitter "uh yeah that didn't actually happen" stories but I promise you it was real.

A few kids trick or treated at our house on their way to meet up with their friends who were gathering at our neighbor's, so they passed back by us as they started out as a group, and we gave them candy again because of course. One of the dads was teasing them, "wait you're double dipping???" And a kid goes, "Like Eric Adams!!" And I was like give that kid the whole damn bowl of candy.

TW mentions of s_xual harassment

Yall ever think about how Crockerteir Jane sexually harassed Jake in the prison cell, telling him that he’s stupid and that she’s happy at least her kids will be hot, implying that she will force him to have kids with her?

And then you see fics that completely ignore that and instead make Jake apologize for something HE ALREADY APOLOGIZED FOR IN-COMIC?

Like, y’all, I love Janey, don’t get me wrong, and yes I know she was mind-controlled, but also she still remembered what she did in that state. She remembers and does nothing. Does nothing despite the fact that her friend was a sobbing mess beneath her and is now very traumatized because he was told and threatened awful things.

Jake English shouldn’t need to apologize again because he already did in-comic. He already apologized. If Jane doesn’t want to accept it, then she’s allowed! THAT DOESNT MEAN HE NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE OVER AND OVER AGAIN BECAUSE CLEARLY HE’S COMPLETELY IN THE WRONG FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO READ HER MIND.

After what happened, I think Jake actually deserves an apology from Jane if anything. Because between accidental boundary breaking and actual threats of assault, I think one is MUCH worse then the other.

(Again, I don’t hate Janey in the slightest, girls are allowed to be flawed, but that’s the thing, y’all keep ignoring her flaws and treating her like a sweet lil angel when, I’m sorry, but that’s not Jane. If you actually like Jane, you’ll acknowledge her flaws and like her regardless, not throw away her actions and pretend that none of that happened. Girls are allowed to be flawed, but that doesn’t mean that they’re exempt from facing consequences. Girls are allowed to be flawed, SO ACTUALLY TREAT THEM LIKE FLAWED CHARACTERS.)

Sincerely, a girl who is done with all of y’alls bullshit.

I love how Ranpo is the only character thus far who has been my favorite since the beginning of a tv series AND has never changed (coming from a person who constantly changes their favorites) like you can throw more characters at me (like Fyodor who's now my new second favorite character) but RANPO'S throne will never be shaken. HE'S INVINCIBLE!!!!!! 💯
