ALSO idk how long I'll maintain a daily posting schedule as I have a 9-5 too LOL but will try my best!! TYSM for all the support so far!!

w/c: 1,863

The next afternoon, I found myself standing outside the Mystery Shack once again, feeling a little more put together than the last time. Another night at the motel rewarded me with a half-decent night's sleep, a hot shower and a morning of debating if I should even come back. It was one thing to stay in town because I liked it, but staying an extra night for a man I’d only known for a few hours? That was a whole different matter.

Pushing my anxious thoughts down, I’d decided to wear the Mystery Shack t-shirt I bought the day before—it was surprisingly soft and, if I’m honest, kind of cute. It fit me in a way that flattered my figure, the quirky logo printed across my chest as a reminder of the oddball charm this place held. It made me smile. I’d made a little extra effort by putting on some makeup and running a brush through my hair. Not that I was trying to impress anyone, but... something about this town made me want to feel more like myself again, or maybe someone new. Someone ready to start fresh.

A small group of tourists stood around, murmuring among themselves as they waited for the infamous Mr. Mystery to begin his tour. I was part of the group now, blending in with the rest of them, but I couldn’t help but feel a little out of place. The others were here for the spectacle, for the "freak show" charm of the Mystery Shack, in pairs or groups chattering amongst themselves. I was still trying to figure out why I was here, feeling a little more on edge than before.

The door creaked open and out walked Stan, the same confident grin plastered across his face. His eyes scanned the crowd briefly before landing on me, and for a split second, I could’ve sworn his expression shifted—something like surprise or recognition—before he slipped back into his well-practiced showman routine. Seeing Stan again seemed to settle some of my nerves; a familiar face can make all the difference and I couldn’t help but notice how easily he commanded attention with his grin and bravado. It was... kind of charming actually, not that I’d ever admit it. He seemed to have the knack for making me feel right at home.

“Alright, folks!” he bellowed, clapping his hands together and pulling me from my thoughts. “Step right up and prepare to have your minds blown by the wonders of the world-famous Mystery Shack! You’re not gonna find exhibits like these anywhere else! Guaranteed!”

His voice had that same magnetic pull, full of bravado and charm, like he was selling something much bigger than this shabby tourist attraction. The group was hanging on his every word, and despite myself, I found that I was too. Something about him—about the way he ran this place—kept pulling me in. As he launched into his first over-the-top explanation of the ‘world’s only six-legged beaver,’ I couldn’t help but catch his eye again. His gaze lingered for just a moment, his grin turning a little more mischievous. Maybe it was the shirt, or maybe it was something else, but I had a feeling this tour was going to be far from ordinary.

Despite the quirky charm of the Shack, a thought kept nagging at the back of my mind: I needed a job. Whether I was going to stay in Gravity Falls or not, my cash was running out, and while the Rusty Oak Motel was cheap enough, I couldn’t afford to stay there much longer. A part of me had hoped I wouldn’t have to think about money for a little while longer—maybe I’d stumble upon something miraculous. But life, as always, had other plans.

As the tour ended and the tourists dispersed, I found myself circling back to the front counter, where Stan was adjusting a display of cheap tourist trinkets with a cocky grin. After he rang up the final patron, I leaned against the counter, watching him reorganize some keychains for a moment before sighing.

"You wouldn’t happen to know if there’s anywhere in this town hiring, would you?" I asked, half-joking. "I’m running a little low on cash."

Stan’s eyes flicked toward me, and for a moment, I thought he was going to laugh. But instead, he leaned back, one eyebrow raised.

"You lookin' for work, huh?" He stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Well, as it so happens, I might know a place that's in need of some help. No experience required. The pay? Well, let’s just say it’s… negotiable."

I tilted my head, unsure if he was serious or just messing with me. "Wait, are you offering me a job at this place?"

"Hey, hey, don’t knock it ‘til you try it!" Stan shot me a smirk. "The Mystery Shack is a thriving business. Just yesterday, we had, uh..." He paused, clearly pulling a number from thin air. “Fourteen tourists come through here. People are dying to see our quality attractions, but I could use a hand keeping the place in tip-top shape. You know, help sell the dream to these schmucks."

I couldn’t help but laugh. "And you said the pay is negotiable? Give me the numbers, Mr Mystery.”

Stan’s grin widened. "How about you take the spare room in the back. Cozy little spot. Maybe a little spending cash on the side, if you’re lucky. And please,“ he stressed, “call me Stan.”

I paused, weighing the offer. It wasn’t like I had many options. A bed and a roof over my head sounded better than sleeping in my car or paying for the motel, and honestly, the idea of working here had a strange appeal. Sure, it was a tourist trap, but something about the Shack—and its strange, hustler owner—made me curious. Maybe this was just the kind of fresh start I needed.

"Alright, deal," I said, extending a hand.

Stan shook it firmly, his grin still plastered on his face. "You won’t regret it, kid. You’re lookin’ at the start of a very lucrative partnership. Welcome to the Mystery Shack, where every day is an adventure... or a con. It depends on how you look at it." he mused with a lighthearted shrug. As I stood there, hand still hovering after the handshake, the weight of my decision hit me. Trusting a man I barely knew, in a town that didn’t even seem real? Maybe I was crazier than I thought. A quiet voice in the back of my mind warned me to be cautious, but I pushed it aside, there was no point letting old fears hold me back any longer.

After sealing the deal, Stan led me to the spare room he’d mentioned. To call it cozy was generous. The walls were wood-paneled, the floorboards creaked underfoot and the single window let in a dim sliver of sunlight. The old double bed was made haphazardly, covered by a patchwork quilt of mismatched fabrics. It was faded, yet soft to the touch, like something hand-stitched years ago. There were a few odd trinkets scattered around—a chipped vase, a stack of yellowing books, and an ancient radio—but nothing that made it feel like home. Still, it was a place to stay, and right now, that was more than I’d had in weeks aside from dingy motels. I tossed my bag onto the bed and took a deep breath, the scent of pine and old wood filling the air. It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine—for now, at least.

"Not bad, huh?" Stan said, leaning against the doorframe. "You think this room’s got character? You should see the other one. Let’s just say, you lucked out."

I smirked. "I believe you. Well, thanks. It’s better than the back seat of my car."

Stan gave a short nod, as if he understood what that was like. "Get some rest, but don’t get too comfortable. Tomorrow’s your first day, and I’m gonna need you bright and early. Got a lot to teach you if you’re gonna make it here."

"Looking forward to it," I said, only half sarcastically.

With that, Stan gave me a wink and left me alone in the room. I flopped down onto the bed, letting out a long sigh as it creaked, the old wooden frame protesting as if unused to guests. It wasn’t where I’d pictured myself when I left Portland, but something about this place felt... right. Even if I couldn’t explain it yet.

I rolled onto my back, staring up at the wooden ceiling, its rough, knotted surface illuminated by the dim light filtering through the small window. The faint scent of pine and dust hung in the air, mingling with the distant creak of the floorboards beneath me. A sense of both uncertainty and hope swirled inside me, much like the shadows shifting along the walls. Maybe I was crazy for accepting a job from a man I didn’t even know, in a town that seemed to elude the outside world. Something about this place and Stan’s demeanor made me feel... safe. For now, at least.

My eyes wandered to the small collection of forgotten trinkets scattered around the room—each one worn and dust-covered, like relics from another time. A chipped vase stood crooked on the corner table, filled with dried-out flowers, their petals brittle and gray. Stacks of yellowing books lined the shelves, their titles barely visible under layers of grime. They felt like pieces of someone else’s story, remnants of lives that had passed through here before me.

I’d spent so long tethered to plans that never really felt like mine. Here, in this strange little town, I finally had the chance to break away from all of that. Maybe I wasn’t just finding a job or a place to stay. Maybe I was finding something deeper.

Still, something about Gravity Falls nagged at the back of my mind, a strange pull I couldn’t quite explain. The town had an odd way of making everything feel slightly... off. I wasn’t sure what I’d gotten myself into. The Mystery Shack had its charms, but it also felt like it was hiding secrets just out of reach. I couldn’t shake the feeling that working here would be more than just selling cheap trinkets and giving tours.

The longer I stared at the ceiling, the more I felt something shift inside me, like the tension I’d been carrying for months was loosening, unraveling with every passing second. There was a freedom in the unknown, in stepping off the path I’d been following for so long. The weight of expectations, of plans and responsibilities, seemed to fade into the wood grain above me.

I hadn’t planned on staying in Gravity Falls for more than a day or two, but now, here I was, about to start a job at a tourist trap run by a man who was equal parts charming and gruff. The air was still, almost expectant, as though the room itself was holding its breath alongside me.

Tomorrow was uncertain, but for the first time in ages, I wasn’t afraid of the unknown, I was ready for it. Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Miracle Boxes - The Order Generation

These are the third and current iteration of the Miracle Boxes, stretching into the modern day, marked by the forming of the Order of the Guardians and their quest to seek out all Miraculouses. Because of this we see the most change in what Miraculouses are in each box, and unevenly distributed numbers across the Boxes.

The Miraculous War was started by the Guardian of the Successor Box, wanting to unite all Miracle Boxes under one organization. Some Guardians and their holders joined him, forming the Order of the Guardians, while others were declared as rogues and were forced into hiding.

Kwamis had little say in their fate during this time, as the Guardian of the Successor Box had claimed the earthly Soul Gem, using its magic to bind kwamis to any commands that was given to them. The only comfort the kwamis had was that Order of the Guardians were indeed mostly using their power for the protecting of the world, though at the price of the kwamis' freedom.

---

The Forgotten Box - Hidden (Free) Panda Crow Unicorn

While there has been no change what was once known as the Secret Box, on earth this Miracle Box has truly earned the title of "forgotten", being mostly unknown to the world of the magic. The first Celestial Guardian felt that control of this Miracle Box was his birthright, and went out of his way to suppress knowledge of it when he could not find it, leading to only a handful of people knowing of this Box. However with the right questions anyone could learn of this box by forcing a kwami to reveal what they know.

The Mother Box - Tibet to Paris (Order) Ladybug Black Cat Dragon Cobra Rabbit Bee Butterfly Dog Fox Goat Horse Monkey Mouse Ox Peacock Pig Rooster Tiger Turtle

With the Guardian of the Successor Box being one who who formed the Order of the Guardians and started the Miraculous War, it was natural that this Miracle Box became the one with the most kwamis within it. Taking several kwamis originally from the box, he arranged them in the upper box meant to loosely model the concepts of Yin-Yan and Wuxing. For the lower box he took all the kwamis from the Zodiac Box, with them of course being modeled after the Chinese Zodiac. With this box hosting the only two Alphas the Order has, it is fiercely guarded.

The Wandering Box - Wandering the World (Free) Wolf Platypus Phoenix Kangaroo Octopus Sheep Snow Leopard

When the Island Box was first invited to join the Order, this Guardian did not realize what was she was walking into; and upon learning what the Order had done to the kwamis she attempted to back out, but the Order did not just let them walk away. Only managing to escape with three of the twelve Miraculouses she had come with, the Guardian managed to keep the two Alphas of her box. But that only put a bigger target on her back. Knowing that no place was now safe for her, this Guardian took on the habit of constantly being on the move, wandering about the world to protect her Miracle Box, along with taking in other kwamis that had been displaced from their home Miracle Box thanks to the Miraculous War.

The Reclaimed Box - Tibet to Jordan (Free) Pterosaur Tuatara Komodo Parrot Thylacine

The Guardian of the Zodiac Box was the first Guardian to join the Order, though all the kwamis they had once protected were removed from their box, instead their box became home to other Miraculouses they claimed from around the world. While the original Guardian was content in this new found order, their successor was not. Unhappy with the way the kwamis were being treated, this apprentice betrayed the Order, smuggling all the kwamis in the Miracle Box out. He was on the run for many years with the Order hunting him down, and while some Miraculouses were lost in his flight, he still managed to keep the box he reclaimed safe from the Order's hands, along with five remaining kwamis.

The Direction Box - Tibet to New York (Order) Thunderbird Bear Beaver Bison Cougar Coyote Deer Eagle Falcon Goose Locust Otter Owl Rattlesnake Raven Salmon Woodpecker

There were few kwamis actually in the Perennial Box when the Order came to claim the Miraculouses in the Americas, rather the kwamis were living all across the continent among many different people. The Order was able to overpower and take lone Miraculouses, but word spread and the remaining holders began to seek out their Guardians. The Guardian of this box had his last stand in what is now the Navajo Nation, but he knew it was a war they could not win. The remaining kwamis told the Order that they would come, only on the condition that their Guardian kept his title, which was honored. The Order modeled the upper box based their own interpretation of the Medicine Wheel they saw many groups using, and the lower box based on what they believed to be this continent's zodiac, though it actually had little basis in the actual cultures they warred with.

The Hidden Box - Mexico (Free) Firefly Raccoon Feathered Serpent Spider Axolotl Jaguar Llama

This was the Miracle Box initially targeted by the Order when they first came to the Americas, their first attack allowing them to claim half of the Miraculouses within the Box. The Guardian of this Box's escape was narrow, managing to get the Alphas within to safety and to stay in hiding with the Jaguar Miraculous. Becoming impossible to track, the Order turned their attention to the other Miracle Box on the continent. This Guardian also became the shelter for other kwamis on the continent fleeing from the war up north.

The Stranded Box - Brazil (Free) Dinosaur Snail Bat Binturong Blackbuck

Like the other Miracle Boxes in the western hemisphere, the Tropical Box was not spared from the Order's attack; resulting in the death of their Guardian and all Miraculouses within being seized save for the Snail Miraculous, this kwami managing to flee before the Miracle Box itself was claimed as well. This Miracle Box went without a human caretaker after the death of the last Guardian, rather the Snail kwami choosing to avoid humanity in favor of seeking out fellow kwamis. Their numbers are few, and they remain hidden together in the Amazon Rainforest, helping humans when they can, but waiting for a chance to fully return among humanity.

The Enduring Box - Zimbabwe (Free) Griffin Penguin Chameleon Giraffe Gorilla Isopod Okapi Secretarybird Squirrel Zebra

The Order of the Guardians took the Miraculous war to Africa, just like they had in the Americas, the battle for the Miraculouses being just as fierce. While many Miraculouses were lost from the two African Boxes, just as many were reclaimed as well. While their sister Box had been lost, the remaining holders of the Jungle Box managed to drive the Order of the Guardians out of Africa entirely; leaving this box as largest Miracle Box outside the Order's control. Though the free Miracle Boxes don't have an organized group, the Guardians of the Enduring Box are seen as the natural leaders among those who remain outside of the Order.

The Cycle Box - Tibet (Order) Grim Qilin Dragonfly Frog Camel Cheetah Crocodile Elephant Hippopotamus Hyena Jackal Ostrich Pangolin Rhinoceros Scarab Tortoise Vulture

With the Desert Box being the last Miracle Box the Order was able to claim, they were faced with the reality that they were unable to find any Alpha kwamis outside of the Ladybug and Black Cat. So instead Order of the Guardians placed the kwamis of Light and Darkness within this box, declaring them to be an Alpha Duo, a lie the magical world came to believe. The rest of the Miraculouses placed in this box were meant to be modeled after the natural cycles of the world; with the upper box hosting kwamis meant to symbolize day, night, and the three Egyptian seasons; with the lower box embracing the rest of that ancient calendar.

The Season Box - Tibet (Order) Kelpie Aurochs Lynx Ant Crab Dove Elk Gecko Hedgehog Ibex Lion Moth Mouflon Polar Bear Scorpion Seahorse Swan

With their Guardian willing joining the Order of the Guardians, the kwamis of the Constellation Box remained the same as before, their powers now being used against their will to attack other Miracle Boxes and to bring their fellow kwamis under the control of the growing Order of the Guardians. The twelve original kwamis lay in the lower box, based on the western zodiac. Meanwhile the upper box hosts kwamis taken from other boxes, who are meant to symbolize the passing of the seasons.

The Drifting Box - Tonga (Free) Coral Dolphin Jellyfish Narwhal Ray Seal Shark

Like their fellow kwamis around the world, the ones that were once in the Arctic Box fell victim to an attack by the Order with little warning. With all Miraculouses within stolen save for the Narwhal and the Seal, their Guardian cast the box into the sea in a last desperate attempt to protect them. The title 'drifting' was one truly earned, swept away into the sea for many years. Though washed ashore multiple times, the remaining kwamis did not find someone they found worthy until they encountered more of their kind in the tropics, living without a Miracle Box until they were found at sea.

The Frozen Box - Russia (Free) Yeti Red Panda Moose Quail Stoat Wolverine

In the early days of the Order of the Guardians the Mountain Box was numbered among them, their Guardian too wishing to create organization among those who were duty-bound to protect the Miraculouses. But when she saw that this Order was only creating war she knew that she could not stay. There was no epic betrayal or running away in the night, this Guardian simply went on a mission with the Miraculouses she was assigned in tow, and never came back.

---

The Order Generation is the generation of Miracle Boxes that stands today in modern times. But with the Order of the Guardians having been destroyed by Feast nearly a century and a half ago those in the magical world are looking forward to a change. However there are some kwamis that think that this new beginning should be a world without humanity.

TREE UPDATE

the light of day has made seeing what the fuck is going on much easier.

You can see how massive this bitch is, put my hand on the base of the branch where it was safe for scale. It was technically a 'branch, but it really was almost half of the tree. You can see there is some sort of rot or damage in its core. Dunno if it was struck by lightning a while ago and finally gave out (it looks very similar to a tree at our old house that was struck by lightning) or just was sick and rotting. You can see some dead parts that had fungus growing on them.

It did really fall miraculously like, around the house. Still took some damage. One gutter is down entirely and another banged up. Flashing at the edge of the roof was peeled like a fucking potato, and there's a few edge shingle damage. Worst is the can opener nonsense with the siding on the corner. But the windows and structure are all fine! For now- we gotta get it patched asap to prevent water damage. Unfortunately we will probably have to subsist on grains and eggs for a while to pay for shit but we'll manage. (This is the part where I shamelessly plug out ranch shop littlebrownbatrach on makerspace and Facebook. We are still getting it set up and off the ground but please reach out to me if you want jewelry or witchy things! I can also do Tarot readings!)

I have just been informed by the spouse that the man coming to deal with the tree is a delightful old man working in tree health and removal for 60 years whose last name is Beaver and I just appreciate he fulfilled his destiny.

Recently Viewed: Hundreds of Beavers

[The following review contains SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

Hundreds of Beavers isn’t just the best comedy released to the general public in 2024; it is also quite possibly the greatest live-action cartoon ever made.

Embracing the delicate art of slapstick with an unapologetic sincerity rarely glimpsed since the silent era, the film miraculously manages to sustain the gleefully anarchic tone of your typical Wile E. Coyote short for the entire duration of its feature length running time. It accomplishes this impressive feat by adopting a hybrid narrative structure. Although the plot primarily revolves around a relentless barrage of sight gags (most of which are variations on the theme of a bumbling fur trader and his ostensibly “adorable” prey repeatedly inflicting sadistic physical violence upon one another), it is not, in fact, strictly episodic; on the contrary, every detail, no matter how seemingly insignificant at first glance, is absolutely integral to the overarching story. The pair of woodland critters that resemble Sherlock Holmes and Watson, for example, aren’t merely an amusing one-off joke; they eventually play a substantial role during the third act. The absurdly chaotic climax, meanwhile, serves as a sort of final exam, testing the myriad skills that the protagonist has acquired throughout the preceding scenes. Even a humble trapping pit established way back in the tale's inciting incident (after which it was probably swiftly forgotten by the average viewer) pays off spectacularly later on—i.e., nearly an hour after its initial introduction!

Boasting imaginative mixed-media visuals (incorporating puppetry, CGI, and intentionally crude hand-drawn animation), delightfully frenetic fight choreography, an outstanding lead performance by Ryland Brickson Cole Tews (which combines the exaggerated mannerisms of Jim Carrey, the paradoxical mischievous pathos of Chaplin’s Little Tramp, and the “rubber hose” style of character design popularized by Max Fleischer), and genuinely gorgeous black-and-white cinematography, Hundreds of Beavers is a feast for the eyes as well as the funny bone. Immaculately crafted and unabashedly immature in equal measure (toilet humor abounds), it is a wholly unique experience. “Masterpiece” is too inadequate a descriptor; this cannot be properly classified or categorized as anything less than an essential, genre-redefining work.

A really cool piece of Speedy Buggy development history here - an inter-office memo (dated April 11th, 1973) that goes into details about the Speed Buggy characters and how they should be written in-show.

Full transcript under the cut:

INTER-OFFICE MEMO

DATE: APRIL 11TH, 1973

TO: JOE BARBERA - TOBY MARTIN

FROM: RAY ALLEN

SUBJECT: SPEED BUGGY FORMAT

CONCEPT: Adventure-comedy with the accent on comedy

The stars of the show are TINKER and SPEED BUGGY. Tinker is a combination of conservative and apprehensive, whereas Speed Buggy is a Tim Conway eager-beaver always ready to volunteer and always volunteering over his head but when the apprehensive Tinker points out to him just what the assignment is, Speed Buggy becomes fearful.

DEBBIE -- is a combination of Marlo Thomas and Gidget full of wild and impractical schemes that constantly clash with Tinker's apprehensive attitude. When Tinker convinces Speed Buggy of the particular danger in an assignment, Debbie vamps the car by telling him how brave and strong he is and Speed Buggy usually capitulates.

The inter-play between these three characters should be quite clear. On one hand we have Debbie who is eager for anything, on the other we have Tinker who is fearful of anything. Thirdly, Speed Buggy who swings back and forth depending on how is working on him.

MARK -- the last member of the group is the voice of reason. He is the logical one whose clear thinking usually resolves the problem.

It is mandatory that the resolution of the shows be motivated by our kids who have a plan to capture the heavy and/or resolve the problem.

LOCALES: CBS would like to use exotic locales wherever possible -- geographic surroundings that present good arenas for animation such as the tombs and pyramids of Egypt -- the Tiki Gods, surfing, of Hawaii -- the ruins of Greece, etc.

In summation of the network's first concern is that the characters of the kids be distinct and that the heavies be clearly evil.

ADDED FORMAT NOTES

Whenever the SPEED BUGGS are involved in an automobile race or rally, or whenever there is any action of conversation about cars, we will emphasize automobile and driving safety: the use of seat belts, obeying rules, taking proper precautions, don't drive unless prepared, make sure car and equipment are in proper mechanical condition, etc. This emphasis will be integrated into the stories, not added as an afterthought.

***

MARK, although a level-headed, athletic young man, is not a superhero. He has good co-ordination and courage, and can handle himself in many tight situations, but he will not be called upon yo perform any miraculous feats of strength or daring -- only what any reasonably athletic, reasonably intelligent teenager might be expected to do. And there will be occasionally moments when he's as startled or bewildered as any of the other kids.

DEBBIE is characteristically full of ideas and enthusiasm, but she won't react this way automatically in all situations. There will be occasions when she is confused or at a complete loss regarding her next move. In other words, the characteristics of all three kids, as indicated in the format, will only apply when they're consistent with the particular story; they won't be forced into any episode. Like all of us, the three kids are not 100% consistent - and their individual characteristics are to be used as helpful guides rather than a strict rule of conduct.

Although Debbie's impulsive actions may sometimes get the group in trouble, she won't always behave this way. On other occasions, it may be Tinker's activities that cause the complications or the curiosity or absent-mindedness of Speed Buggy himself -- or even a mistake or miscalculation on the part of Mark.

And when it comes to getting the group out of a tough situation, well, any of the three kids (or Speed Buggy) may come to the rescue and save the day.

In short, we won't operate by a strict formula; the kids and Speed Buggy are individuals and they'll behave as such in this series -- doing the unexpected as well as the expected.

***

Speedy Buggy will always work either (1) alone, or (2) with Tinker. Only on very rare occasions, when the story absolutely demands it, will the little car work with Mark or Debbie. (He likes them of course, and he co-operates with them, but his teammate is Tinker.) The relationship between Speed Buggy and Tinker is similar to that between SCOOBY and SHAGGY on the SCOOBY DOO SHOW: they're close pals, almost always together, with strong reliance and interdependence. (NOTE: The only basic difference is that Speed Buggy will frequently work alone, when the story requires it, whereas Scooby seldom works without Shaggy.)

***

Debbie will sometimes sweet-talk Tinker and/or Speed Buggy into doing what she said - but this is not a hard-and-fast rule. Something they will follow her suggestions because they agree with her - and sometimes she will follow their ideas. Or Mark's. It all depends on the individual story.

The remote control unit which Tinker and, occasionally, the other kids use to contact and operate Speed Buggy will also be a two-way walky talky. The kids will speak into the control unit ("Okay Speedy -- go to the top of that hill and then call back and tell us what you see.") And Speed Buggy will speak into his end of the control unit, in his own special voice. ("Go you, Tinker -- but nothin's up here.") Under normal circumstances, there is a constant contact between Speed Buggy and the kids, no matter where he is -- when he doesn't answer a call, the kids, on the other end, are naturally worried. ("Tinker, come in. Come in, Tinker! Tinker, do you hear me? Tinker, answer -- where are you?", etc.)

Eliminate the last paragraph on page 4 of the format. Speed Buggy does not perform menial tasks for the Speed Buggy. He's a full partner and does things as important as anything they do. He's no flunky.

Speed Buggy can do almost anything, within reason, that the individual stories require him to do: jump, creep, crawl, swim, think, climb, whatever -- as long as it isn't a superhuman feat.

Speed Buggy will not get involved in out-and-out pantomimes to express himself (as now indicated on page 5 of the format). He can speak, so whatever body move-ment he does use will be to supplement his regular speech. (We will indicate the use of specific parts of his body -- a fender, a wheel, a tail-light, etc. -- if it is particularly inventive or it helps to emphasize what he's saying).

***

Speed Buggy can be activated by the remote control unit when it's fairly close to him. We won't indicate a precise distance (like a few hundred feet), since it's too limiting; we'll be flexible and use whatever distance seems right for a particular story -- but it can't be too long a distance, like 25 miles: this would eliminate much of the suspense and excitement from our stories.

***

Debbie and Mark are a boy-girl item, but they don't go steady. Each may, on occasion, be jealous of another boy or girl in a specific situation -- but we won't play up the romantic angle. Their principal relationship is that of fellow members of the Speed Buggs Club 00 and the romantic involvement is secondary.

***

Maybe Peter 3 is asleep and Peter 1 feels like messing with him so he comes in and jumps on top of him and is like "hey three" and Peter 3 just grabs him and starts tickling him as payback! Peter 1 knows he'll get tickles, so he definitely meant too😂

Wake Up Call

Summary: See prompt above ❤️

(I'm so sorry Anon! I meant to save this to my drafts and accidentally posted it ❤️ I saved your prompt from copy and paste ❤️ I hope you enjoy!)

One quietly opened Peter 3's bedroom door. It was technically the weekend so the older brother could sleep in, but it was already 11 and the youngest was bored. So One slipped into Three's room to wake him up.

He tiptoed up to the bed, cringing at every squeaky floorboard. Once he reached the bed, the youngest climbed on to the foot of the bedframe. He took a final look at Three's peacefully sleeping face, then jumped forward. "Three!"

Three's eyes flew open as a flying teenager landed on his chest. "Wow!"

One grinned up at him. "Good mornihing!"

"Mmm? Wha?" Peter 3 rubbed some sleep out of his eyes as his mind caught up with what was going on.

"It's morning Three. It's time to get up!"

Three grabbed his brother and pulled him closer. "No it's time to sleep."

Peter 1 giggled and tried to squirm away. "Sleeping time's over!"

The middle Peter cracked one eye open. He could see the mischievous look on his younger brother's face. He looked so young and carefree.

The older Peter smiled. "Time to wake up huh?"

"Yehes!"

"Ahalright, I'll wake up." There was a brief pause before Peter 3 dug into the youngest's sides. "With some giggles!"

Peter 1 squealed before dissolving into giggles. "Wahait! Wahait! That's nohot whahat I meheant!"

"Yohou wanted to wake me uhup now you gehet tihickles."

As Peter 3 continued his attack, One attempted to roll away.

"Hey!" The oldest brother followed the roll. "Gehet back hehere!"

Another squeal left the youngest's mouth as his older brother rolled on top of him then peppered his face and neck in kisses. "Eek! Threhee!"

"Let my love that cute little face of yours!"

"Noho!"

Three wrapped the youngest in a hug before blowing a raspberry into his cheek.

Meanwhile, One's laughter grew in volume as his foot pushed against Three's leg.

After the raspberry, the older Peter switched back to the kisses. In addition to them, Peter 3 added in some extra side tickles just to get some extra giggles and squeals. The youngest became a cackling, squirming mess at the affection, and he looked so much younger in that moment.

Honestly, Three just wanted to hold his baby brother close and never let go. He wanted to keep him tucked away from every trial the world had to offer, but he knew he couldn't do that forever.

Instead, he held his baby brother tight and kissed his temple. "Ihi love you Pumpkin."

In response, One manged to slide one arm out and around his older brother. "Lohove yohou too Girahaffee."

After a couple moments of quiet, Three turned to the youngest. "Alright mister, after being so rudely awakened on the weekend, I demand cuddles for the rest of the day."

One beamed. "Okay!"

Peter 3 raised an eyebrow. "You're an eager beaver. Whatever happened to 'I'm too big for cuddles'?"

A small blush crept onto the youngest's face. "Maybe I'm not too big for cuddles?"

"Never!" The tallest Peter pulled One close. "Even if you miraculous grow taller than me, you'll never be too big for cuddles."

Peter 1 cuddled as close as he could to his older brother. "Ihi love yohou soho muhuch."

"Love you too Uno."

Needless to say, Two found them in the same position an hour later with Three's arms still securely around his baby brother.

Hi! Idk if the kwamies are just for fun or what, but I got the curage (and maybe it's fun) to list what my ideas (for my head"cannon" Miraculouses 😁)

Zebra - equalization, can turn things into their opposite

Llama - commitment, can shoot energy-spit and link the user to the target

Snail - syncronization, the user can sync with targets and control their moves, eithet making them mimic his movements or moving them like a hivemind, working to achive a goal. It also works backword, so othets can control the user's movements (this way it can learn techniques the other can do)

Hedgehog - so far, having pocket dimension to hide or trap othets, maybe change it later...

Pidgeon - generalization. The owner can make itself "unrecogniseable", meaning despite being a person in pidgeon costume, you can't recognise it, simply blends in (you only can spot them if you looking for something very-very specific about them)

Antelope - intention. If the user touches you with it's two horned stick you start to do whatever idea you currently head, even if it's crazy or unlikely to have any succes, the target starts it enthusiasticly

Rhino - potential. The user can "suck" the potential energy from things, making them living "object-magnet" atracting everything, even if it means an unpleasant crush... The user also can charge object with it, making them fly

Firefly - transition. Can become living energy, moving thing and even empovering machines. Literal force

Kangaroo - swich. Can swiching placement of object with limited range

Has no red panda (yet!)😅

Capybara - relaxation. The user simply can others feel good, whatever happening to them

Rattlesnake - avareness. Having bracelet with a campus like rattle-pointer which shows where a previously marked object is

Giraffe - exhaltion (stolen, since they modified the tiger to elation😁) choosing any ability, the user becomes the bes-best in it (like being humanly in the Guinise record book for it, and turn it up by Miraculous -holder standards)

Hippo - overprotection/motherly care (something along those line) can create a bubble where the target just sleeps and floats. This bubble saves the target very well, but not all-proof

Sloth - procrestination. Every time the target would like to do something, manipulates fate to do something (like, insted of taking Miraculous away, goes on for personal revenge (also gains litteral weight to arms and legs)

No racoon or beaver yet

Donkey - humblenes. With a whip, can make the target obey instractions of thr user and behave foolish

Coala - influence. Gives power to do whatever you wish, but limited very much how much support and love does the holder has from the sorrunding peaple...

I hope you like them or find some of them funny, there are many more, some of these even have "pairs" (won't grant wish, but opposite concepts, like LB and CN's), but I like these, hope you to, but I gladly reading your feedback on these as well 😁.

Have a nice day!🙂

They are just for fun but I don't think I would mind adding them if I got an idea for the miraculous and a weapon.

I already have a power for the zebra, anyone who sees them would get vertigo.

Ooh, so like a tracker I like that. They would spit on them and the spit would always be visible to the user. It could wear off over time, I really like this power.

That's really interesting, kinda reminds me of Martyr (black cat) and Mimic (wolf).

That sounds pretty similar to the ferret.

Oh, that's cool. Another I thought of was that they can spy with their feathers xd. But I think I like this one better.

So kinda giving them enough confidence to do that? That's cool, my thoughts were super speed but I like this one.

The salamander already has that power (Tag).

Oh, that's interesting. Kinda seems like an extension of the white lion.

That seems very similar to the panda.

I also haven't thought of one for the red panda 😔.

I see where you're coming from and it fits the capybara, but I already have that power (dove).

That seems similar to the llama.

That seems like the rooster but harder to explain to me. I know that I would have issues with that.

I like that! It's like a combination of betta fish and sheep. I like it.

Hmmm, interesting.

My original thought for the racoon was that they can steal powers, like the butterfly now. But that was when the layers didn't exist. For the beaver, I like the power that @randypelow suggested, the holder pulls objects to make a dome (like a knock-off Shellter).

The donkey was one of the oldest kwamis I had, he was made with Inn and I¨m pretty sure he was the only one who had a power from the set xd. The concept was Adaptation (or versatility at first) and the holder could change the suits to fit the situation, basically like the power-ups. But then I gave that power to the octopus and then I removed it xd. What you suggested seems kinda tricky to me I would have to think about it more.

So like the canon eagle or just a big amount of confidence?

I like a lot of these! You always have so many interesting ideas!

Heya guys! I’m back with another post! But this one is about Fez Perry! If you guys wanna ask Perry and his siblings questions, I’m deciding to make posts about Perry and Sibs so you could get to know them before asking them questions!

Under his fur, he wears the amulet of Juatchadoon, a siren pendant, and he mainly wears a fez on his head as Agent FezP. FezP also wears a fedora on his head but he wears it on underneath of his fez. Around his arm, he wears a light teal turtle bracelet which is his miraculous in camouflage mode.

First Appearance: Phineas and Ferb and The Temple of Juatchadoon

The more of the negative energy he consumes, the stronger his voices becomes, and the farther he could spread his good magic(as half siren but uses it for good)

What his speaking voice sounds like: Very cool, very calm, very collected, and he has a Sassy accent.

Status: Active and immortal

Voiced by/Speaking and Chattering Voice: Dee Bradley Baker

Singing Voice: China Anne McClain

Personality: He can be best defined as “The Sassy Bossy Flirty Dramatic Entertainment" younger brother to Perry. He kinda has same aspects as Perry, but the difference is that he is mostly sassy, bossy, dramatic, and entertainment. This is seen from the fact that he brought backup dancers to a long-lost temple and when he was dancing. He also seems loyal enough to wear a fez even though he wasn't in Egypt. He does have a difficult relationship with Perry but sometimes they get along with the rest of his brothers and sisters. As Agent FezP, he is proud of his abilities as a fez platypus and wants to prove himself to Perry that he can be a good secret agent for the O.W.C.A. As a dream demon, he can be manipulative and he is always sassy in order to get what he wants. When he’s making a deal with someone, his greenish teal hand starts burning with light teal flames. As a siren, he plays with someone’s emotions and he’s ready to show off his singing voice and feeds on the positivity around him.
