McQueen is kind of like Ford in a way. His work includes dealing with the paranormal and he’s skipped out on nights of sleep in order to figure things out. Bill still thinks Ford is superior (obviously) but expects working with McQueen to be the same as working with his old pal, minus the nerdy ramblings and worshipping.

Whenever Ford got sick or couldn’t keep his eyes open or was anxious, he’d insist he was okay. He could handle it. He was prideful and confident in his abilities, confident to not disappoint Bill, the most important being in his life.

McQueen is not confident, not since he realized he wouldn’t find Dooley for a while. He doesn’t care about disappointing Bill because in his eyes, he’s already disappointed the most important person in his life: Dooley. So he doesn’t mind having a breakdown in front of Bill, especially since it isn’t his first. But don’t worry, he’ll pick himself up again. He just needs a quick, spiraling, tear filled break.

He wanted them in sport mode! What’s the point of having lightning McQueen crocs if they’re not in sports mode?

[francescacammisa1]

Ascoltatemi, voi due: non bisogna mai sposarsi finché si è in preda alla passione, perché dovete sapere che è qualcosa di diverso dall'amore; la passione è la vertigine della scoperta, l’ansia costante del possesso, l’ostinato desiderio di conoscere le forme e i segreti nascosti dell’essere verso il quale ci si sente inesorabilmente calamitati. L’amore invece richiede tempo, pacate conversazioni che consolidano l’amicizia. È qualcosa che sedimenta solo dopo che si sono superati determinati confini intimità, quando si sono imparati per bene i difetti e i limiti dell’altro. Insomma quando sulla bilancia gli aspetti positivi superano indiscutibilmente quelli negativi.

Sooo��� all of this dialogue is from the end of the Baits Motel case in case you couldn’t tell. Literally no changes except for the fact that Dooley is in the Gravity Falls public pool (before it reopened) instead of the pool in the Darkside.

This is pretty much the prologue to my DSD x GF crossover where Dooley arrives at Gravity Falls on Summerween (because spooky and stuff). Also Dooley doesn’t meet Geoff and gets to keep his souvenir hat.

I REALLY enjoyed making this even though it was more “redraw scenes from DSD” instead of “DSD characters interact with GF characters” but it’s coming :)

SPUR OF THE MOMENT

nagi caught your eye, simply by doing absolutely nothing. you weren't sure whether to call him an idiot or a genius.

you stared at the leaderboard.

in first place read the user: "SEICHOKI" in big, bold letters as if to mock you.

what the fuck?

for weeks, you'd been at the top of space invader's leaderboard, unrivaled by any other with your score of 87,598.

until now.

funnily enough, it's not like this "seichoki" beat you by hundreds of points, no. next to the user, by the hi-score tab, blinked the 87,600 in red.

it was a difference of 2 points.

all of the scores below your name were the same scores that had been present for over a year.

they were old, bland, and low.

it's not like many people ever pick this game anyway; it's old, objectively difficult, and looks rather unassuming compared to all the other attractions in the arcade.

so naturally, this irked you more than it would've if it had been any other game.

you exchanged a few crumpled dollar bills for a stack of coins.

─────────────────────────────────────────

you'd grown accustomed to the game's "heartbeat rhythm."

you timed your movements, moving from shelter to shooting as you moved forward. shelter to out, shelter to out, shelter to out. a process repeated quickly.

just a few more points.

you click. you move out of the shelter. "faster than fast, quicker than quick. i am lightning..."

"wise words. who'd you steal them from?"

"unwise of you to assume i stole them." you kept your gaze on the screen, but you already knew who the voice beside you was. "shouldn't you be helping little kids find their parents or something, hiori?"

he kept watching you play, and you could feel the silent judgment from his stare.

it was all fun and games, though. he was one of the first friends you'd made outside of school. his first few days on the job. you visited the arcade more often than you'd like to admit, meaning you were bound to make him owe you a favor at some point. you were either an angel sent from heaven or the devil itself straight out of hell. even to this day, hiori wasn't sure which you were.

NEW HIGHSCORE: 87,615

"... lightning mcqueen." you narrowed your eyes, but kept your focus on the game, not faltering once. "thank lighting mcqueen"

"you've been hogging the machine for the past hour."

please. nobody actually plays this."

"except for the guy who beat you."

"so it's a guy? do you know him"

"sort of. he was here with a guy i know. mikage reo, a new investor."

"well, are they coming again?"

"reo, yes. his friend? probably, or probably not."

─────────────────────────────────────────

you watched his playing style.

as it turns out, he did come back.

a few minutes ago, you'd started helping hiori organize the candy shelves in the gift shop. two people walked inside the gift shop area: a guy with purple hair, and one with white hair. the purple-haired one introduced himself as reo mikage, so you could infer the white-haired one was the so-called "seichoki".

this was further proven whenever you showed reo where hiori was, and on your way back, you noticed the white-haired boy was inserting coins into the space invaders machine. you slowly walked towards him, focusing on his screen.

so now,

it was down to the last few invaders and--

he followed a fast-moving group of invaders, shooting as he did.

are you an idiot? you wanted to ask. what he was doing was a perfect way to run into missiles.

"do you always play like that?" you couldn't help but ask.

he didn't respond immediately, which made you think he was ignoring you at first. but after a few moments, he finally responded, soundly uninterested.

"like what?"

"with that strategy" (if you could even call it one)

"what strategy?" a hint of confusion met his tone.

he's got to be kidding.

"never really needed one for this game," he added

you weren't sure whether to call him an idiot or a genius.

through the corner of his eye, he noticed your expression "it's about wiping them out as efficiently as possible, right?".

NEW HIGHSCORE: 92,105

your eyes widened slightly as you stared at the screen, "how is that even -"

the leaderboard screen popped up, his username now topping yours, once again.

"oh. are you the other player?" he asked

you nodded.

for a moment it looked like he had something to say, but that went away once someone called out, "nagi!"

you both turned to see that it was reo. there was a bewildered expression on his face once he noticed you and nagi had been conversing, though only for a split second. a smile grew on his face as he waited for nagi back at the entrance.

"gotta go." nagi said as he collected his tickets from the machine. he stood still for a moment as if yet again contemplating something else.

"good luck" he muttered as he passed by you, but you couldn't help but wonder if you imagined it.

as if you needed it.

you nudged the control in the direction the missile came from to avoid a missile dropped, while finally reaching the last few invaders.

you waited in the middle of the screen, firing where the invaders came from

again: forward, then shelter. shoot. then shelter again. again and again until--

the BGM faded like a broken record and the screen turned black.

it was as if the world was conspiring against you. you wondered if nagi somehow knew this would happen. if not, it was stupendously ironic that this happened after his good luck wish.

you turned to look for hiori, your only help.

good news: it can be fixed.

bad news: it has to be fixed.

"how long will it take?"

"i don't know." hiori sighed. "you are aware this game is kind of old anyway?"

"so?"

─────────────────────────────────────────

so.

you walked back into the arcade the next week, heading straight toward the space invaders machine.

there was already another figure standing right in front of the...pitch black screen.

"great." you mumbled in disappointment.

the figure turned around. it was nagi, a twizzler in his hand. you recognized it was the jumbo twizzlers from the gift shop.

aa you got closer, you noticed the 'OUT OF ORDER' sign which had been placed on top of the machine's screen.

"did you know that would happen?"

"no." he opened another twizzler.

"then why did you wish me luck?"

"i mean, the machine was making weird noises. but the good luck was just good luck."

you heard a familiar sigh coming from behind you and nagi.

hiori sighed, "listen. you didn't hear it from me, but as a temporary replacement, a new installment is coming soon"

you and nagi turned to look at hiori, at equal speed.

"for what game?" you asked for both you and nagi. his expression said he was equally as curious.

"i'm not supposed to speak about it yet."

hiori senses your disappointment, but of course, he also didn't want to lose his job.

"isn't it better as a surprise anyway? it's more fair that way" he tried to reason.

it really didn't make it more or less fair, but you still nodded in defeat.

you turned to look at nagi "until next time, then." because of course, you still wanted to beat him.

he glanced at you for a second, through the blurred reflection of the black screen. "yep." he shrugged. surely enough, he was looking forward to it.

—————♡—————

before he made it to the exit, you called out his name.

he didn't turn, but he stopped walking, which indicated he was listening.

"are you busy?"

"nope."

"wanna do something else?" you asked, with a bit of courage on your side.

he was silent for a few moments before responding, "sure."

you began walking towards the exit.

"good. 'cause i know this one candy store, and it's got way better candy than those twizzlers you're always having."

a/n: UMM the end was rushed af since i had this in my drafts for so long...and I just wanted to get it over with woops!!

[97keanu]

Keanu characters + couples Halloween costumes:

John Wick:

John wants to say he doesn't do costumes. He complains, gently, saying he's too old to dress up anyways, but he can't say no to you in the end. He thinks you're funny when you suggest being a nurse since you're always patching him up all the time, but he also can't deny the image of you being a sexy nurse either. You also joke about him being a literal baba yaga and he finds that less funny. In the end, you two go as something that's actually as far from his work as possible, something simple and cute that ends up leaving John feeling happy he can have a moment of fun. Even if that is just staying in, watching cheesy horror movies, and giving out candy with you.

Kevin Lomax:

Unlike John, Kevin would totally go for the obvious with an angel/demon couples costume. He might even ask to be the angel just to throw people off, not to mention seeing you in a sexy devil's costume (especially if you're typically an innocent!reader) would really turn him on. He also likes to keep the costumes a bit higher class, so what you're wearing is not coming from the corner store or the mall. No, Kevin is buying you louboutin red bottoms to match a skin tight Alexander McQueen red dress. And, well, maybe the devil horns and tail do actually come from the mall...

Neo:

Neo doesn't want to admit how badly he loves dressing up. He likes being able to be someone else from time to time, just to get away from his typically boring on the surface life. He likely is asking you to be in 90s nerdy pop culture cosplay for Halloween, maybe even leaning onto the more goth side of media. He would take inspo from movies like: The Crow, Blade, Underworld, and maybe even end up asking you to be the Sally to his Jack.

Ted Logan:

Ted would love any outfit that he could easily pull off being stoned in. Think Shaggy and Velma (bill might even tag in as Scooby). Another great one you two cook up is Garfield and Hello Kitty, but Ted also adds that, Garfield is also, of course, stoned. There's also a possibility for you two to get into a lot of silly innuendos costumes as well, but with Ted's mind they would likely not make much sense. Possibility for you to convince Ted on a historic costume and getting him to take you back in time for period accurate clothing. Also, don't be surprised if it turns into a thrupple costume with Bill.

Evil!Ted Logan:

He would think couples costumes are stupid at first, and maybe even berate you about it (crybaby!reader watch out!). His mind would change when he sees there's slasher Halloween costumes at the mall, and he decides he and evil!bill can probably get away with more mischief if they're masked. He would probably try to talk you into being either the final girl from a slasher to reenact some fantasies, or ask you to be a sexy ver. of Ghostface or Freddy.

Constantine:

Constantine doesn't do costumes. He will likely not even end up breaking like Wick, and instead is a meanie about the whole thing. He shows up in that damned suit he always wears while you're out here in your cutest sexy girl outfit (think angel, playboy bunny, cat woman) and only ends up feeling bad about the whole thing after you storm off and cry. He apologizes the best he can, and ends up trying to make it up to you by being more social at the party, and telling your friends that he's dressed as "Vincent from Pulp Fiction" or some other character that comes to mind that wears a suit. Next year, you make him promise to actually dress up, and when you two do it's totally cheesy ones he hates but allows for you, such as Joker and Harley Quinn-esque.

Jonathan Harker:

This ones fun because you two are going to a masquerade! You get the most gorgeous gown with all the frills you please, with a gothic touch of course. Jonathan isn't usually one who dresses overboard, but tonight he has dressed to the nines for you! He looks sleek and dark, stunning in an illusive mask that for some reason has you feeling more of his dom side. Jonathan actually ends up really getting into it, and he charms you all night long as if he's almost another man entirely. The beauty of the masqurade conceals and invites freedom to be someone you're typically not, and by the end of it, you can't wait to take him home. He can keep the mask on tonight.

♰ Please send any costumes you think would work for keanuverse characters, I'd love to hear them! Especially anyone I missed ʚ♥︎ɞ
