Camp Camp tickle Headcanons

Ok… There seriously need to be more Camp Camp Tickle fics and/or hcs

🎨Dolph🎨

Lee🎨

🎨He’s not ticklish whatsoever!

🎨David tried this on him at one point, but it didn’t work out how he hoped it would

🎨Dolph is just way too serious for that whole “child play”.

🎨David would see an opening, and tickle him when he least expects it.

🎨Wether he’s painting a really cool art peice, or he’s just doing other things

🎨Davey won’t stop until he finds a weak point on the camp’s artist.

🎨He was ticklish at one point in age, but quickly grew out of it when he was tickled a lot

🎨His parents kept tickling him

🎨24/7!!!!!

🎨Honestly, free my boy!!!! He doesn’t deserve any of this

🎨Scratch that, he most certainly does

Ler🎨

🎨You better be prepared to run, if he’s in a ler mood

🎨Which he gets those daily

🎨Sometimes, you wish there was medicine for that type of stuff

🎨But the only medicine that will cure the mood is people’s laughter

🎨And laugh they do when he’s in control

🎨He may be short, but he’s got a mind like a gazelle…or cheetah…

🎨Either one, he knows how to stalk his prey

🎨By hiding in the bushes, and pouncing on the other campers when they least expect it

🎨Or subtly throwing in pokes and squeezes to his target’s sides, indicating that they should run and fast.

🎨Boi, those are his warnings for you, and don’t underestimate him either.

🎨A lot of campers misjudge his ability to tickle people, in which they fall into the hands of his tickly wrath.

🎨Mostly Harrison, that boy is so oblivious!!!

🎨Making him Dolph’s best target out of everyone.

🎨It’s a good thing he’s an artist so he can use his paintbrushes and pencils and writing utensils, whatever he uses, to use that against the oh so sensitive lee.

🎨He would occasionally tickle Max, if Max let’s his gaurd down, and near Dolph? That’s like saying I’m gonna discover a cure for Cancer

🎨It’s never gonna happen!

🎨Ever!

🃏Harrison🃏

Lee��

🃏Boy, is this guy ticklish or what?!

🃏He absolutely hates it when Nerris tickles him, or anyone to be of fact.

🃏She’s just so snarky and teasy

🃏it doesn’t help his situation since he’s way more ticklish than her

🃏I’d like to think they’re platonically dating, just because they have so much hate relationship

🃏Reminds me of an enemy to lovers trope

🃏Anyways… back to what I was talking about

🃏Nerris and Harrison get’s into tickle fights all the time, so much, it’s not a shocker that he keeps losing

🃏You’d think he loses on purpose, but that’s not what’s happening here, Nerris is just so much less ticklish than him, she has the upper hand.

🃏And god, does Harrison hate it so much?

🃏She always has this smirk on him, and says “Imagine being this ticklish.”

🃏She even claims she put a tickle spell on him, saying, “I cast the evil tickle spell on you, Harrison! Now you’re just as ticklish as you were before, hahahah!”

🃏And Harrison just laughs and pleads, “THATHAHAHHAT’S NOT RHEHEHEHEHAL, NERRIS!! STAHHAHAP!!”

🃏”Stop what? The casting, or the tickling.” Nerris knows, she just wants to be a tease to him.

🃏That snarky b***h

🃏Harrison’s words, I love my girl Nerristhecute!

🃏Death spot: His ears. It reminds me of that one “What’s behind your ear?” trick

🃏He’s also really oblivious when it comes to Dolph’s tickle torture

🃏Dolph squeezed his side one day, but all Harrison did was glare at him, and told him not to do that again.

🃏Of course Dolph didn’t listen, it was Dolph for fuck sake.

🃏Everyone who was sitting beside or in front of Harrison and Dolph, knew that he should’ve ran away as fast as he can.

🃏They even walked away from them, not wanting to be roped in the mess

🃏It was Ered, Nurf, Nerris, and Preston.

🃏Even though the mess hall was filled with all the camper’s and counselor’s, that didn’t stop Dolph from doing his duty.

🃏Pouncing on Harrison, tickling him to no remorse.

🃏It gotten to the point where David had to pull him off bc Harrison was having a hard time breathing.

🃏Even so, Harrison still hasn’t learned his lesson.

🃏Poor boy

Ler🃏

🃏Ok… him a ler? Puh-lease!!

🃏Don’t get him wrong, he’s a good ler at that, but something inside of Nerris just makes her more of a ler than him

🃏He’ll get a few squeezes to her sides, or a few skitters to her neck, at best, then it’s all game over from there.

🃏Harrison is more like the third best ler

🃏Making everyone wary of his presence

🃏He rarely get’s ler moods

🃏So he’s not always a ler

🃏Still, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get his fair share of tickles as well

🃏Making sure to tickle everyone who has tickled him.

🃏But he just loves tickling Max, he doesn’t know why, he just does.

🃏He’s not much of a ler, more of a lee.

🧪Neil🧪

Lee🧪

🧪He’s not extremely ticklish, but that doesn’t stop him from trying to concoct a chemical to make him not ticklish

🧪He keeps trying after he got tickled to death by his dad.

🧪His dad is just a little weird, so I wouldn’t think less of his ler abilities, tickling his son in the most embarrassing places of all time

🧪It’s about to be that one Simpson episode where Bart’s dad tickled him on the big tv at the baseball game, making him piss himself

🧪Ofc Neil’s dad didn’t do it there, but he definitely tickled him in the open, to where he pissed him self

🧪One time he tickled him at this fancy restaurant, where his aunts uncles and cousins were at

🧪And it was definitely to the public’s eye, bc of how loud he was laughing, with the help of his cousins

🧪He kept getting tortured growing up, wether it be by his older cousins or his dad.

🧪He never goes a day untickled

🧪Which started his villain origin story, making him test a concoction to make him less ticklish

🧪He was even thrilled to go to camp, thinking he escaped the tickling, but there are more lers there then at his hometown

🧪Making Dolph his worse ler ever seen

🧪Dolph defo squeezed his knees, making Neil jump up, causing him to be on high alert for the rest of the day

🧪Now that his friends knows exactly how ticklish he is.

🧪God he wish Niki never found out

🧪Niki was more ruthless then his dad, along with Max

🧪Them teaming up together is the worst plan they had ever made… well to Neil.

🧪It works out that he hates being tickled, because he’s socially awkward all the time

🧪And that’s where he is when David looks for him all the time, he’s hiding in his tent still making a potion.

🧪No one knows he’s making one.

🧪I would like you to tell your friends that your making a concoction to make you less ticklish

🧪Death spot: Hands. He works as a scientist 24/7 Ofc those are ticklish

Ler🧪

🧪Boy, he ain’t no ler

🧪Motherfucker’s beyond being a ler

🧪Not because he doesn’t have the abilities to be one, it’s because he doesn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable

🧪Totally going past his personality in Camp Camp

🧪He doesn’t want to make Niki or Max uncomfortable, so he doesn’t tickle them at all, knowing their limits is key

🧪And Max made sure he doesn’t tickle him

🧪As you can tell, Neil is a lee, 100%

👊Nurf👊

Lee👊

👊He’s actually ticklish, but he won’t let anyone touch him

👊He hates it so much

👊He’ll only let his boyfriend tickle him, but they broke up so now he misses life, of how his boyfriend would just tease him when he slowly tickles his sides.

👊Sadly it didn’t show his boyfriend in this show… I’m big sad now

👊He grew up wanting tickles from his mom, but she’s in jail now, so he misses that too

👊But god, Nurf can only imagine how people at camp would react if they needed to calm him down, etc.

👊He still wants to keep up his big boy troupe.

👊And it lasted quite some while, till Dolph was in yet another ler mood take ing it out on the tough boyo

👊The thing is Nurf couldn’t tickle him back, hence he’s not ticklish, so he just punched him

👊Which called in a stern warning from David

👊And the whole Camp just started teasing him about it, making him cry in his tent out of embarrassment

👊You bet Max had to join in the fun too

👊Death Spot: Stomach. His stomach just has a lot of cuteness to it, please!!! It’s a must if you tickle his pudge!

Ler👊

👊Don’t let him catch you if you hate being tickled

👊Like, no joke, he will make sure you pass out

👊It happened to Preston

👊It can happen to you too

👊He’s like Dolph, always getting ler moods, and wanting someone to help him fix it

👊So you better be sane, if you know what you’re dealing with when you get under the hands of his devious fingers, crawling on your torso

👊So here’s your warning. Stay. Very far. Away. From him.

👊He won’t even give you a warning before he pounces on you, and he’ll do it infront of people as well.

🎭Preston🎭

Lee🎭

🎭Theater kid!!! Ofc he’s ticklish.

🎭He enjoy’s being tickled, but he rather die twice before he ever tells anyone that. Ever.

🎭Once he sees a tickle fight break lose, he’s quick to watch it

🎭He’ll make himself known when a tickle fight does break out, so people knows he’s there in hopes to get tickled like that person was just getting tickled.

🎭He’s so dramatic when it comes to tickling

🎭Saying he’ll die if they continue, but he hadn’t gotten tickled for more than 5 minutes

🎭He’s good at acting so he’s good at hiding the fact that he wants people to tickle him.

🎭When they squeeze his side he would jump away and scream “GaH! Stop!” But this only makes them continue (for the people who loves to be a ler)

🎭Till this day, the ticklers are yet oblivious to the man’s wants.

🎭And if it’s Camp Camp, they’ll surely think he’s weird if he enjoys something like that.

🎭He’s so cute tho, I enjoy his little laugh and his fake pleads that fall on death ears to the ler(s) tickling him.

🎭Death Spot: Feet (He just constantly walks around considering he’s sometimes the main lead in his play. Other times, he’s just instructing where everyone goes and how to act.)

Ler🎭

🎭Ok, his tickle kink had to start when he was watching a play/show

🎭It happened when he was like 8, and a character started tickling a mother character, and Preston just fell in love with his laugh

🎭It resorted to him hiding in his room looking up more tickle scenes on YouTube.

🎭He knew it was weird to watch things like that, and enjoy them, but he couldn’t help himself.

🎭Everytime a tickle scene pops up, and him and his family watches it, he had to avoid eye contact from the TV.

🎭Hoping he didn’t look suspicious, his face would be beat red

🎭And he has to make up an excuse to go to the bathroom so his parents wouldn’t see him like that.

🎭Though when he makes a play, he has to fight the urge to put at least one blunt tickle scene in there.

🎭Things will go off the hook, if his intrusive thoughts win

🎭So he makes sure they don’t

🪐Space Kid🪐

Lee🪐

🪐Ok… He’s not really ticklish

🪐Like he’s second to least ticklish.

🪐It’s Dolph, and then it’s him

🪐Though, he’s canonically ticklish, but it’s not like people was tickling him, just responses of “Hey, that tickles” Whatever, I still think it’s cute

🪐He likes being tickled, more so ask David for some tickles, and he obviously gives them to him, no questions asked

🪐And he can tell when Dolph is in a ler mood, it’s just a hutch he has.

🪐So when Dolph is in a ler mood, Space kid will subtly hint to him that he needs some tickles, and Dolph will be glad to give them to him.

🪐Ofc, Space kid doesn’t ask anyone to tickle him unless it’s David, bc he knows David won’t judge him for it.

🪐Space kid gets all squeaky then he starts hyperventilating in his helmet where the ler has to take it off so he won’t suffocate

🪐No one knows why or how he suffocated in his astronaut helmet, he just does

🪐When people teams up on him, he goes to Dolph for help. But he has to make a deal with him, like, Dolph has to tickle him for an hour

🪐Hey, it beats getting tickle ganged up on

🪐And I like to think Spacekid’s death spot(s) is his neck and ears, hence they’re always covered up making them really sensitive

Ler🪐

🪐He can’t be a ler if it saves his life!

🪐Like he tries to be one to so many people, like Max for starters, but he just gets kicked right in the balls.

🪐#justiceforSpaceKid

🪐This doesn’t stop him from accomplishing his goals of becoming the Camp’s biggest ler.

🪐Sorry pal, but Dolph took that place from you

🪐Spacekid would even be in cahoots with Dolph, teaming up so he can destroy people… with tickling ofc.

🪐Though Dolph continues his assault on the man’s ears and neck, that little she-devil.

🔫Max🔫

Lee🔫

🔫Maxasalee Maxasalee Maxasalee Max. As. A. Lee

🔫He is so ticklish, and I’m not being biased right now… well… maybe.

🔫I MEAN LOOK AT HIM AND TELL ME HE ISN’T TICKLISH UNDER ALL THAT ANGER ISSUES!!!!

🔫He’s everyone’s tickle target. Because like… PLEASE!!!

🔫It’s kinda cute how a man (boy in this case) acts tough, but can be beaten by a simple poke!

🔫He would get tickled by Niki all the time, Ofc Neil doesn’t tickle him, after that one incident.

🔫Neil poked him once, and after he got a reaction he didn’t expect to come out of Max, which was “GAH! DON’T FUCKING DO THAT NEIL!!” He just had to tickle him full blast

🔫With Neil being much taller than the shorter one, Max has no problem punching the shit out of anyone who tickles him.

🔫Yes. Including Niki, but she never learns her lesson, intrigued by her bestfriend’s laughter and reactions

🔫Even David doesn’t learn when Max keeps kicking him in his balls.

🔫David would always give him tickles to “cheer” him up, but in reality it just made his sappy mood worse

🔫Like parents’ day, or when Max is just being hella annoying, like bullying the rest of the campers and/or Davey

🔫Yeah, Max needs to learn to be a camper with good attitude if he doesn’t wanna be tickled

🔫Once he knows Dolph’s in a ler mood, he walks away from him w/o being noticed, like nonchalantly.

🔫And he usually goes unscathed

🔫Trust me when I say this, but since Max gets tickled a lot, he always knows when someone is in a ler mood, call it a hutch

🔫Max’s parents don’t care about him, as seen in Parents’ day, so he didn’t grow up being tickled, not even his friends tickled him, so he didn’t know he was ticklish

🔫But that all changed when he came to camp, being non stop tickled by mostly anyone who would get ler moods, or just wanna tickle him

🔫He didn’t even know he was extremely weak to them either, but once he found out he hated being tickled.

🔫Poor baby

🔫He’s a total walking death spot, but if I had to pick which one that will drive him to kill anyone who touches there, it has to be his knees

🔫I just think it’s a cute headcanon that his knees are extremely ticklish, and anyone who wants to die, will give it a shot w/o second guessing the consequences

🔫When he’s tickled he gets this squeaky laugh, and he starts waving his limbs around in hopes to knock his attacker off, most times it doesn’t work so you gotta physically pin him down

🔫One time David tickled him so much he pissed himself, he didn’t tell anyone tho, glad he was wearing dark pants

🔫And Dolph tickled him till he became this sweaty, crying, passed out boy on the ground, his hair was sticking to his forehead

🔫Max didn’t tell David why he didn’t go swimming with the other’s because it’s embarrassing to say he couldn’t swim and didn’t wanna spend the summer with David learning how to

🔫Until David threatened him with tickles and he blurted it out, getting laughs and teases from the other campers and Gwen

🔫David sniggered a little as well

🔫By the context above it’s easy to say he hates getting tickled, like dispises it.

Ler🔫

🔫He’s not the type to go around and touch other people, like in a tickly manner or other ways

🔫But he would tickle his two best friends, Neil and Niki, kinda sucks Niki isn’t as ticklish as them, but wtv

🔫He loves to tickle Neil with the help of Niki, just because Max loves to tease him about how super ticklish he is, failing to realize Max is way more ticklish than him

🔫Max will have to pin the tall guy down to tickle his worst spot, please!!!

🔫Max is really good with teasing, and what not, going too far as to laugh and make fun of his ticklishness

🔫If he sees anyone else getting tickled, he would stand by the sidelines and just be a snarky teaser, then he gets his unfair share of tickles from the use to be lee

🔫Max needs to learn when to shut up, like bffr

BALLOON ANIMAL ARTIST JK I JUST FEEL LIKE HE WOULD BE REALLY GOOD AT IT AND MAKE YOU A FLOWER THEN ASK YOU ON A DATE

baby i love u and your big sexy brain <3 welcome to waikiki meets hospital playlist dynamic ft. balloon artist!jk

“who’s a good baby? is it you? iS IT YOU????”

you’d be the first one to admit that you had an exhausting horrible night

being a nurse sUCKS the life out of you and as much as it’s fulfilling, you almost always feel the urge to admit yourself to the ER for being extremely fatigued

it’s all worth it!! it should be

after all, paying for a mansion in an exclusive village and sharing it with your friends doeS warrant some elbow grease

seokjin works in wall street and sometimes he comes home crying but it’s okay because you do have an expensive fridge that everyone worked overtime for <3

hoseok’s a veterinary assistant and is your trusty friend who always sends in pictures of the animals that come in to cheer you up while at work

namjoon’s a painter by passion and accountant by profession!! he does only come out with a few pieces at a time but mAN does it rake in the money

jimin’s a flight attendant and does everyone the pleasure of securing either free or discounted tickets, and bringing home unused airline towels to dry off the dishes!!

lastly, taehyung’s someone you can call a former trustfund baby or somewhat :O the last big chunk of money he spent from his fund was the downpayment and security deposit for this mansion!!!

it’s a long story and he’s currently all over the place but he’s finding regular jobs!! his latest gig was working at a high-end ice cream place but he immediately quit once he learned that he needed to put his back into it and not just scoop up ice cream like he did in his dreams :((

most importantly, taehyung has a baby :-)

he’s a dad!! a single one at that

it’s truly a LONG story but the bottomline is that he has nabi, his cutest little dumpling!! and he has all of you, his friends who didn’t hesitate to step up as nabi’s parents in a way too even if he didn’t ask any of you

you all love the chunky monkey so much that you’ve all taken the liberty to call him your baby at times and tae doesn’t even mind!! nabi’s so lucky (he hopes) to have him as a dad and his friends as his cool uncles and aunt

nevertheless, you indeed had a bad night working the night shift and came home to nabi’s birthday party just in time!! :D

he turned two years old at midnight and even if you weren’t physically present at the mansion like the guys were (they requested their leaves two months earlier) because of being understaffed, you were able to see him and tae blow out multiple cakes that each one bought him

seeing him giggle at your arms just by doing the bare minimum makes you full already <3

all your exhaustion is melted away because it’s your favorite toddler’s birthday party!! the party that you all insisted on shelling out for that made tae almost cry bc of how much you all love his son

“jimin i am not sewing your forehead up when you end up falling in the wrong angle,” you roll your eyes at him who’s currently doing backflips in the bouncy house that managed to fit in the mansion

“hoseok can!!” he yells back and backflips twice in a row, much to the actual children’s amusement and your worry

“i will NOT stitch you up! the thread i have is for the pregnant dogs only!!!”

everyone’s entertaining guests left and right, including taehyung who’s the dad of the little man of the hour :D

he keeps pointing at nabi who’s currently in your arms every ten seconds and it’s now your job to make him giggle every single time to wave at the people

“what do you want, monkey? do you want some ice cream? i won’t tell your dad,” you eagerly ask the wide-eyed baby in your arms, pointing at the ice cream cart that namjoon probably ordered

“no thank you!” nabi cutely aND politely declines, his head shaking no and his speech and pronunciation getting clearer day by day

most of the time though he says it like tHANK YEWWWW and you would immediately grin every time because it’s the cutest thing ever

“hmm, look at that!! face painting!! do you want some butterflies?”

you point at yet another station that you guess seokjin arranged, knowing that at some point into this party, he’d all drag you in here to get matching marks or something lol

nabi once again declines, his eyes searching around that makes you do the same on what you could do to entertain him

he has the same habit down like taehyung and loudly gASPS, pointing his finger and almost shrieking in excitement

“bawoo — balloon!!! balloon!!!”

it is now your life purpose to walk as fast as you could to this balloon station with nabi bouncing up and down your arm in excitement

jungkook’s having the time of his life here :D

normally he’s mostly called in the holiday season and occasionally at big birthday parties (the one where like two sides of the family share every baby’s first birthday party lmao) throughout the year!!

but he’s never had a client who requested him for a singular birthday party!! let alone at a hOUSE

ok maybe that was an understatement

he means a mansion

if he’s being quite honest, the mr. park jimin he spoke to on the phone sounded too kind that he just mistakened him for a party planner or something

he immediately said yes because he had no on-site bookings for that day, or even the week perhaps, and expected to stroll into a carnival in the middle of an executive village

aha :D jungkook is wrong :D

jimin met him by the front door wherein a lot of people are already crossing paths such as catering and not to mention the bouncy house you cAN’T miss, and just briefly touched in on the situation

“oh no, i’m not the dad, man — but thanks!! i’m his uncle. nabi’s dad is my friend, taehyung. and me and my friends, including taehyung, all live here. we’re all like family, basically.”

jungkook saw the other stations invited and he expected that his would have less children y’know?? bouncy house, ice cream station, facepainting, hotdog cart aND magic show???? yeah <3

but god is he wrong

the children are in a single-file line for hIM and his balloon artistry!!! the requests range from pretzels to pirate hats to chandeliers with the bulbs as smiley faces!!!

he’s managed to do all of them so far and he’s now made a decent dent on the line of children waiting for him

jungkook is a happy and content balloon artist :D

“EXCUSE ME! BIRTHDAY BOY COMING THROUGH!!”

oh my god what was that

you’re walking at full-speed and holler out, making sure to emphasize birthday boy because nuh-uh you and nabi will nOT line up for his own party <3 thank you very much

the children coo and the older kids coax the other ones to make way for the both of you to the front of the line, immediately plopping to a mini chair in front of the guy

“hiiii!!”

nabi drawls politely and waves his hand, making you do the same

“what a cute little thing,” the guy in front of you coos and it’s his voice that perhaps makes you melt a little, just seeing the top of his hair for now because he’s crouching down to be eye-level with nabi, “what can i do for you, little buddy?”

he toothily grins and straightens his posture, raising his eyes to look at who’s holding nabi in place and-

???????????????????

jungkook literally stops breathing for a second

“h-hi!! what can i do for you today?” jungkook squeaks, his eyes even more wide and curious to look at the prettiest girl he’s ever seen in his life

you’re sure that you were gonna stammer once you open your mouth so you don’t at all, instead focusing on nabi who’s on your lap

“what do you want, monkey?”

“nabi please! i want nABI!!! nabi nabi nabiiiiiiiiii-“

“yes. he wants nabi, please.”

jungkook nods fervently, his hands about to pluck ballons from his kit before he realizes to ask

“does he want his face? or like, his name? what colors do you want, bud?”

he’s not the least bit bothered at the choices in his head because you’re widening your eyes on what could this guy dO with just balloons, knowing to yourself that even pumping one is difficult work already

“oh! he wants nabi,” you clarify and jungkook tilts his head, mouth slightly agape at to what you’re trying to get at, “butterfly, i mean. nabi knows that his name means butterfly and he likes them a lot! don’t you, monkey?”

nabi nods so hard that it almost gives him a headache and jungkook wants to facepalm himself to the grave

“r-right! why didn’t i think of that?? because nabi means.... nabi....... right!! sorry, oh my god. o-oh! i meant oh my gosh. i uhm-...”

he’s a mess and he knows it, letting his hands take over and grab the same theme colors of blue and lavender from his bag to start on his work

kook tries not to lift his head up ever so often because you’d find him out instantly that he’s looking at you

so what he does instead is peer and coo at nabi every few seconds and tHEN look up at you because you also giggle whenever he giggles

he’s probably feeling pressure with the way your eyes are set on him too and what he’s doing that he pOPS a balloon right with his hands

“sorry, sorry! did i spook you?”

jungkook’s worried because he heard a collective gasp from the kids around him but his main priority is the birthday boy AND you

nabi’s shoulders rose and that’s about it

he shakes his head to himself, looking at you who’s carrying a curious gaze on your face that looks amused

“sorry. i-it’s just you’re so pretty and-“

he’s embarrassed himself in front of a pretty girl and her son and-

wait a second

the color just dRAINS from his face and he’s about to quit at the second

“oh my god i am so sorry. y-you must be nabi’s mother. you’re mr. taehyung’s-“

“friend!! i’m y/n, i’m just taehyung’s friend,” you interject quickly because you cannot believe that pretty boy called you pretty, and at the next breath thought you were taehyung’s wife, “and nabi’s my nephew. we’re all just friends who live together!! i have no boyfriend, if that’s what you’re thinking.”

...

....

yeah maybe you embarrassed yourself this time

you may have said too much information to the balloon artist but jungkook’s just staring at you fondly

and nabi’s switching his gaze between the two of you and claps his hands to snap the two of you out of it lmao

kook chuckles to himself and he cannot stop smiling, even when he’s tying the last balloon to nabi’s butterfly

“there you go, cutie. happy birthday!!” he hands nabi the hUGE butterfly he just made but the sheer difference of how big it is makes the toddler even more happy, hugging it to his chest

jungkook watches you pepper kisses on nabi’s cheeks and that launches him into quickly pulling out balloons while your eyes are deviated from him, hands twisting and turning like his wHOLE LIFE depended on it

“my name’s jungkook, by the way,” he calls you when you’re just about to stand up, smiling giddily at you, “thought you should know.”

cute :-)

before you could thank him, he extends his arm and your mind recognizes the familiar shape which makes you smile instantly

jungkook made you a flower balloon <3

“i think i’ll remember you, jungkook.”

you laugh as the only thing you can smell from it is latex, the huge flower staring at you right in the face

jungkook sheepishly blushes, pursing his lips in happiness

“i’m free whenever you’re free — f-for a date, y’know? just so you could remember me more.”

bonus: dilf taehyung has his own drabble!!

bonus bonus: bestie anon brought my attention to these tiktoks below and gAWD i’m so happy <3

first, second

I got tagged in a bunch of tag games recently but I’ve been putting the off for a loooooonnnnggg time because a certain drama (hint: the abbreviation is three letters long, the last character rhymes with “ring”) has been occupying every single second of my free time (눈_눈)

but now that I have some pockets of time to spare! I’m just gonna club all the tag games together into a monster post ( ` ω ´ )

a big thank you to everyone who tagged me!!!!! (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡

tag game #1

tagged by @tiesanjiao @sillyfanturtle

recreate your blog’s aesthetic as a drink 🍸

make one here

this one was so fun! the number of choices omg I was spoiled and I took so long to decide which to go with lol. I don’t really know what this monstrosity is??? I just picked these for the pinks/ muted reds and greens

but my irl aesthetic is more something like this below. and my dumb gothic-loving ass thought that background was a graveyard and it took me a closer scrutiny to realise it’s a bar... (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

tag game #2

tagged by @linglynz

I don’t know what this one’s called, but I guess it’s something along the lines of recreating a mouse here!

I’m... boring. hanyi’s motto in life, probably: make it black. there are little devil horns but they’re black too so they’re blending in...

phone number. | yang jeongin

pairing ↠ jeongin x gender neutral!reader

genre ↠ just a fluffy barista au!!

wc ↠ 3229

summary ↠ jeongin likes you a latte.

warnings ↠ just jeongin being cute and in loooove. its cringey.

a/n ↠ barista!jeongin bc who doesn’t love cafe aus?

cafe glow is well-known around these parts of town bc it has such!! great!! food and drinks!

it has a real homely feel so a lot of student from the nearby schools/ unis come here

and it’s a pretty big cafe so there’s a lot of space for ppl to come in and chill, whether that be large study groups or just individuals trying to cram for upcoming tests

that homely feel?? it’s bc of all the youngsters that basically run the cafe

it’s officially owned by mr and mrs bang, but their son, chan, manages this cafe a lot since they’ve got a few other places in town to run

chan loves recruiting teens to work bc, despite their hyperactivity (esp the lot that are currently there), they’re a lot less work to deal with than grumpy adults complaining abt wages

so!!

just a few months ago, jeongin started looking around for places to work at

let’s get that bread bro

he spoke to a lot of the nearby businesses like the florist, library and pizzeria but as soon as he entered glow and saw a blond guy downing shots of black coffee as he made different drinks, he Knew he wanted to work here

he headed straight to the counter (ok ofc he waited in line first but who cares abt that)

“welcome to glow, what can i get ya?”

“hi, i was wondering if you were hiring?”

“so,” the guy - nametag reading Felix - began, leaning forwards on the counter, “you wanna join the glow gang, huh? have you got what it takes??”

maybe he should’ve thought more clearly abt this-

“felix are u creeping out kids again?? i swear this is the last time i leave you on counter duty” the black-coffee-drinking blond huffed, wiping his hands on his apron as he left the coffee machines. he nudged felix out of the way, pushing him to the machines before he turned to jeongin. “i’m sorry abt him, i don’t know why i still keep him around”

“i heard that!”

“anyway,” the blond - nametag with Chan printed on it - grinned, “what can i get for you?”

“a job here would be great”

“you really wanna work here,,,, with that?” he pointed over to felix who looked back with a frown

“yeah, it seems pretty fun!”

“you got a cv on you?”

jeongin is a Prepared Boi. before his job hunting run he printed off multiple copies of his cv so he handed it over to chan who briefly looked over it

“when can you start working?”

“when do you need me to?”

chan let out a chuckle at that, pocketing jeongin’s cv, “swing by tomorrow at 4 and we’ll work that out, yeah?”

jeongin went home a Happy Boy and the next day at exactly 4:37 he had landed himself a sweet job at cafe glow

ever since that day a few months ago, jeongin had been learning the ins and outs of the cafe

he’s learnt all about where felix hides his ‘secret’ stash of sweets, where to kick if the machines ever go down and jisung’s ability to not stop talking

jisung’s the guy in charge of training jeongin bc chan doesn’t trust felix with another human’s life and minho, an older uni student that works here part time, is way too busy flirting with customers to get more tips those uni fees won’t pay themselves u go bby

and chan himself already has a lot to deal with since he mainly works in the kitchens

so jisung has taken jeongin under his wing and taught him how to make all drinks (despite there being a manual for this) and how to deal with the customers

and even tho jisung is only 5 months older than jeongin, he n e v e r misses an opportunity to baby the hecc out of him

“what are the different cup sizes we have?”

“uh,, small,, medium and large??”

“goSH jeonGIN you’re so smART!!!! ily!!! what cAN’T you do???”

jisung’s overdramatic as hell but he means well

and it’s always funny when jeongin teams up with felix (still a pretty rare occassion) to prank jisung

one day jeongin had a test after school so he couldn’t come by

and ofc he let chan know this in advance but he and felix decided not to tell jisung

jisung was waiting around for jeongin to come and he literally almost started crying when felix told him an hour later that jeongin wasn’t gonna come

“,,m,y bab y ? jeonginnie??? wh at do u me an,, he won’t com,e??? felix you a s s don’t l i e to m,e,, :((((”

they even got minho to record the whole thing not for free ofc, and minho’s services are n o t cheap, but it was totally worth it

felix screenshot jisung’s crying face and it’s now the display picture of their glow gang group chat

which btw never shuts up bc: during the day (and work hours) felix, jisung and jeongin will be spamming it, during the evening minho will complain abt all the uni work he’s got to do, after dinner time the youngsters are back on it sending memes until like 2am, and then by 4am chan finally gets on and complains abt the boys killing his storage with their dumb memes & he gives any updates abt the next day’s schedule if need be

it’s a great system, hella wild and random, but jeongin loves it nonetheless

now for the part where u, dear reader, come in!!

it’s just an ordinary day, a bit quieter than usual but jeongin’s not complaining bc it gives him time to finish off some of his hw while he’s at the till

he looks up when the door chime rings and

(°ロ°) !

he’s vvv obviously staring at u as u walk in, his pen drops on the counter and his mouth is :0

damn yn you’ve broken jeongin

but does he care???

yes

is he stopping?????

also yes but you’ve already seen his dumbstruck face and he realises he was caught just staring at u when u walk up to him with a shy smile on your face

he doesn’t know what’s come over him

and he doesn’t mean to be some typical teenage boi straight out of a high school drama

but u just look so pretty he couldn’t help but?? go heart eyes??

he’s trying not to lose his cool when u finally reach the counter

“hi!” he grins, “welcome to cafe glow, what can i get for you?”

you order your drink and watch as jeongin types away at the computer

he’s rlly hoping the screen blocks his blush bc he’s still (´♡‿♡`)’ing and he’s pretty sure he can feel his blush at this point

“is there anything else i can get you?”

your number

he finds your thinking face so cute!! the way u bite ur lip a little as your eyes glaze over the sweet treats they have on display

he d i e s when u look back up at him and ask, “anything you’d recommend?”

he keeps his cool as he says some of his fave desserts, and you choose the cheesecake

“alright! will you be eating in or is that to-glow go”

his heart swells when u laugh at his pun but he’s highkey dYinG inside bc he wants u to stay for just a little longer

he almost cries when u say you’re eating in bc !!! yes!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!! maybe he could try talking to you!!!!!

“sweet! take a seat anywhere, your food will be made shortly!”

when u go to pay for ur food he’s internally hating felix bc he swears all these mushy feelings he’s experiencing are bc felix made him watch back-to-back romance films

he’s taken money from a lot of customers but he’s never, n e v e r, wanted to just hold their hand and he’s honestly so close to just never letting go of yours rn but he mentally slaps himself

pull it together jeongin u dumbass

when u tell him to keep the change he’s just

s i g h can u get any more perfect

he yeets felix out of the way from the coffee machines and towards the till

“role change, i’m bored!”

“but chan banned me from the tills, he’s gonna kill me!”

“i’ll get jisung on you”

“uGHhgHGHghhhhh”

he’s halfway thru making ur drink when minho sliiiides next to him and slings an arm around his shoulders

“so, innie, who’s the cutie you’re serving?” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

from his short time working here he knows that minho is in love with any kind of gossip and there’s no point in lying to him

esp not with this massive blush on jeongin’s face that’S STILL thERe bc jeongin peeked over and saw you taking out textbooks which means you’re gonna stay here for lo n g er than he thought

and he’s got this huge grin on his face :D

and no one’s ever that happy making coffee

esp not when felix is right next to them singing along to the twice song playing in the cafe

god knows who put felix in charge of the cafe playlist

an y w ay

“does our baby innie have a,,, crushhh on a certain someone???”

“noooooookay maybe? idk i just met them!!”

“:0!!!! our baby’s iN LOVE!!!”

minho said that so loudly!!! jeongin peered over minho’s shoulder and saw that y o u had looked up at the exclamation and he let out a sheepish laugh to try and make the scene look normal

u just grinned at him and he almost swooned

minho’s shouting alerted jisung who deadass ran from the other side of the cafe

jisung, out of breath: wh-what do u mean,, in love,,,??? you’re too young for that ://

even chan popped out from the kitchen. “jeongin loves someone?? how cute, who is it- felix, what the hell are u doing there, didn’t i ban u from the tills??”

“blame loverboy!”

“gUYsss :((( let me wORk!!”

“u do u, innie, go get ‘em tiger!” minho said, smirking as he took a step back

the other boys stayed quiet as well, chan filling up the front display with the baked goods he freshly made

jeongin quietly got to finishing off ur drink and grabbed a cheesecake slice to carry over to you

“h-hey,” he started, placing the plate and drink beside your textbook, “sorry it took so long,,,”

“that’s alright,” you smiled and all his worries literally washed away, “was everything okay back there?”

“yeah,” he rubbed the back of his neck, smiling shyly, “minho’s just easily excited and nosy, a terrible combination really”

u laughed at that and he grinned, his nerves easing away

“u guys seem really close,” when he saw u quickly look over to the counters he turned as well, just in time to see all four of them rush to try and act natural (altho jisung just dropped to the ground so he’s really a lost cause)

“they’re really crazy, but they do mean well,” he grinned, “except felix, avoid him at all costs”

“i’ll keep that in mind,” you chuckled when jeongin pointed out who felix was and felix just glared back at him, as tho he knew jeongin was talking shit abt him

“well,” he started, realising he should go bc a big group of customers had just entered, “i’ll leave u to it, i hope u enjoy ur food. let me know if u need anything else!”

he headed back to the counter, a HUGE grin on his face, he’s so glad his back is to u bc he’d be so embarassed if u saw

it’s bad enough minho saw and is non-stop teasing him abt it now

throughout his shift minho was just taunting him, cooing “innie’s in love~”

as he was dealing with other customers and running around the cafe, he’d make quick eye contact with u and each time he did, u let out the softest smiles, he’s pretty sure he’s never smiled this much

abt an hour later when the rush had died down, jeongin looked over to see that!!! u were still there!!!!!

he fixed up a quick mango smoothie, smth he always found super refreshing, and headed over to your table

“h-hey?” he tapped your shoulder when he noticed u had your headphones in

“oh, hey! i, uh, i didn’t order this?”

“yeah, it’s,, it’s on the house, thought you might need a pick-me-up, you’ve been working rly hard”

“ahh thank you!!!” u grinned at him so cutely, “would u like to sit down?”

he nodded too enthusiastically but he hopes u didn’t pick up on that ((u did)) as he sat down opposite you

for the next 30 mins? hour?? neither of u know

u guys just talked

he’s thanking god that there was no rush in customers bc he enjoyed spending time just talking to u

the conversation seemed to flow so?? naturally???

he found out ur name and that u go to a nearby school sadly not the same one as him

and u were taking the scenic route home instead of ur normal walking path or using the bus which is why he’d never seen u before

he’s so glad that fate brought u here today tho!!!! eternally grateful that u made that wise choice!!!

when ur phone buzzed with a message from ur family he finally realised that it was getting late

he watched almost in tears as u packed ur stuff up, thanking him for the drinks and snacks that he definitely didn’t steal from felix’s hidden stash

he went back to the counter, stars in his eyes as he leaned against the counter, opposite minho who was chilling by the till

“so, how’d it go? did u get their number??”

jeongin: (❤ω❤)

jeongin, 0.02 secs later: ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ

felix, jumping in: “pls don’t tell me u spent all that time,,,,, and u didn’t get their number-”

minho: “loverboi was too busy making moves, eh?”

jeongin’s mood instantly dropped and he was so close to just headbutting the counter then and there

what if u never come back????

what if u came back when he wasn’t there?????

what if you’re on ur way here but then u see another cafe and u go there instead and fall in love with a barista there???????

jeongin’s 2 seconds away from pouting for all eternity when chan comes over and pats him on the back, “i’m sure they’ll come back!”

jeongin’s praying the old man’s right

and he is!!!!!!! cliche ik

u didn’t come back the next day which broke jeongin’s heart and he was honestly so close to losing all hope bc he’s incredibly dramatic like that

but u come back the day after!!!

jeongin’s wiping down a table when u enter and u spot him instantly and wave

he waves back but the cloth he’s holding slips from his hand onto the ground

and he rushes to pick it up but hits his head on the table when he tries standing up again

and he’s in so much pain but he just nervously laughs it away esp when he sees ur half worried, half trying-not-to-laugh-aloud face

when he sees u walking to him -- not the counter -- he’s counting to 100 in 3 seconds to try and calm himself down to not look like even more of a fool

“is the table okay?”

“yeah, i’m alri- hey, rude!” he pouts, faking a sniffle and rubbing his head

“i’m kidding, jeongin” (he had to bite his lip to not squEAL when u said his name) “are you okay? that looked painful :((”

“i’ll live,” he fake sobbed, rubbing away imaginary tears with the cloth in his hand before he realised what he’d just done and dropped it on the table in disgust (he highkey dieddd when u laughed at him again) “ew, i’m sorry you had to see all this”

“it’s fine,” you grinned, scrunching ur nose when u saw the wet smears on his face, “but u got a lil smth there” u pointed to ur own cheek

jeongin wanted to CRY

he knows he’s a cute boi (he uses this to his advantage whenever he can)

but rn??

he knows he looks like the epitome of a grade A DumbassTM

he just let out the longest s i g h

“i’ll be right back!”

he rushed off to the back and sorted himself out (and quickly iced his head)

he came back out to see u sitting down at the same table as last time

as soon as he came thru the doors u looked up and held out thumb, an eyebrow raised

and he reciprocated the gesture, telling u he’s all okay now!

he found it so cute that u cared!!! his heart: on fire!!

felix walked right to him, pulling him along to the coffee machines as he told him ur order

“u owe me one now loverboi!”

jeongin prepped ur food and took it to u like last time

but this time u initiated the conversation

“felix isn’t all that bad, y’know?” you said, holding onto your hot drink as it warmed ur hands up

“for now,” jeongin started, “trust me, if u ever have the misfortune of seeing him act cute, you’ll regret ever saying that.”

your nose scrunched as you imagined that -- jeongin gasped when he saw and then prayed you didn’t see that -- before you let out the cutest laugh he’s ever heard, “yeah, i can’t imagine that looking nice”

you two talked for a bit more until jeongin had to get back to the counter and take orders

he popped up at your table when he could, offering felix’s sweets and a refill

“do you treat all your customers like this? free drinks isn’t good for business, y’know?”

he went bright red at your teasing bc “nope, you’re special!” -- his eyes went w i d e when he said that and, if it was possible, his cheeks went redder -- but god, was it worth it bc your eyes sparkled and your blooming blush was so pretty he was starstruck

he cleared his throat, let out the most nervous chuckle ever, put the lemonade on your table before diving behind the counter

he could practically hear minho’s smirk from all the way over here

great.

it took a little while longer for him to psych himself up to go over to you again after that disaster

but seeing you pack up your bag made him forget everything and run up to you

“hey, you’re done already?” he asked, pouting as you put your last book away

“yeah, i’ve gotta help make dinner soon,” you replied, fixing your bag over your shoulder, “thanks for the drink, it was great!”

“y-yeah, no problem!” you loved his drink!! score!!!! “come again soon, yeah?”

“definitely,” you winked -- you winked, god his heart was weak -- before waving and taking your leave

felix slid up next to him, throwing his arm around jeongin’s shoulders

“pls tell me you got their number this time”

shit.

how do u make flower sing in english???

step one: try your best :')

step two: ok in all seriousness you can make japanese vocaloids sing in english if you are familiar with japanese pronounciation and use phonemes well enough. i'm not very good at explaining but i will try to tell some things i do to have flower sing the best english i can manage (she's the only jpn vocaloid i own so i can't say if this works for other jpn vocaloids but it's probably not too different)

also i'm not an expert so this isn't a Complete Tips And Tricks List. these are just things i've learned to do

the M_0 phoneme is very useful, it's basically a U sound but with less voicing. you know how in japanese the U sounds are very quiet or inaudible in lots of words like "desu" and "masu" it's like that. with v4flower at least it's not totally quiet, there's a kind of metallic exhale that comes with it, so i reduce that by lowering the opening of the note usually all the way down to 0 and sometimes i'll also just edit it out in audacity. since words in japanese don't really end in consonants, consonant sounds at the end of notes will probably not happen so having the M_0 lets you basically have a vowel after it so it actually makes a sound without any out of place vowel sounds being too noticeable. "n" and "m" sounds don't need this though

the opening parameter is also useful to me!! with "er" sounds like in the words "better" and "never" i use an "o" phoneme and reduce the opening by about half and that usually sounds pretty close to an er sound. depending on the word and how it's sung i may want to use "a" or "e" sounds instead and reduce the opening more or less than usual. a less open "o" sounds also works for -le or -ul words like "horrible" and "awful"

i hate how loud t sounds are. luckily i recently realized that when i can't get away with replacing them with d sounds to make them softer and less jarring, i can just replace them with [Sil]. cuz sometimes when i say words with T in them in sentences like "that" or "it" i don't pronounce the t i just kind of, stop making sounds for a millisecond. idk if that makes sense but it can work in vocaloid especially in japanese bc then you don't always have to throw in a vowel sound after the t. this also works sometimes with p sounds. it doesn't always work it'll depend on the word itself and how it's being sung. but! if there are harmonies it can also work by removing sounds like "f" (which would be a p\ phoneme in japanese) and keeping them in the harmonies

and speaking of harmonies!! there's a neat trick i learned from miodiodavinci (known for their very cool zola project covers). unfortunately i can't find that curiouscat post and i cannot word things very well but here's my best explanation: having slightly different sounds in the harmonies than in the main vocals (particularly with vowel sounds) helps a lot!! like for example with the er sound i might have an o sound in the main vocals and an e sound in the harmonies so they kind of blend together to help make the elusive japanese er sounds...if you can't decide between two different sounds you can use them both if there's harmonies in that part of the song! this trick can work in other languages as well if ur having trouble with sounds

there are some shortcut phonemes i like to use a lot...for example with the word "try" i actually almost always have flower say "chai" (which in phonemes is [tS a i]) and it's still understandable in my opinion. if there's a d and a y sound next to each other sometimes i use a j sound. for example for the phrase "and you" which would be [e a n] [j M] (the M phoneme is a u sound) i would put a j sound in the middle so the d sound is still there. it would be [e a n] [dZ M]. this one might not always work because it might sound too harsh, in that case jut leaving out the d sound is fine.

also! depending on the word sometimes you can use a w sound instead of the r/l sound

basically just! figure out japanese phonemes and work with them to get the sounds you want. i hope this helped a little :)

#thanks for asking :)!#if you want i can like...share one of my VSQx files where flower sings so you can Study It. but i'm not an expert like i said so #only if you like. trust me.

what hogwarts houses the members of queen are in

A/N: oops this contains some hot takes (in my opinion) but this is what i wholeheartedly believe. enjoy !!!!!!!!!

Freddie: Gryffindor

okay this mans is 100% a gryffindor

like this should not be a surprise to anyone

first off, we all know that harry potter is 100% problematic and loses house points for them all the time

now imagine freddie

he would totally make gryffindor lose points on a daily basis just because he was being himself

gryffindors are also judgemental

and freddie is the king of the judgmental face

we all know this

it takes approximately three (3) minutes hanging out with a gryffindor before you get into some ~*trouble*~

freddie’s parties were def the same way, y’all

3 min in ?????? things got fucking insane

it’s hard to admit this, but without gryffindor, there wouldn’t be much of a story for hogwarts

because not much shit would go down

and hogwarts would be a whole lot safer

and the same is true for queen

like, without freddie, queen wouldn’t have much of a story either !!

moving into gryffindor qualities:

brave-

this honestly doesn’t need much of an explanation

an lgbtq+ icon

went through AIDS during the 80s (such a scary time)

did not give a single fuck about what anyone thought of him

is the actual definition of bravery

loyal-

not to be dramatic, but freddie would have died for any of the other boys

he loved them so fucking much

i hope they know that oof

although he had his moments, freddie was so loyal to all the guys and was/is so fucking amazing ugh

wise-

because of his life experience and different outlook on life, i feel like that made freddie so wise

he had all of these different perspectives compared to a lot of other people

and he would showcase these perspectives in his music

freddie was just so fucking amazing, my heart

i think freddie is muggle born

and he owns it !!!!

he is so proud of his heritage but is also so into the fact that he’s a wizard

freddie is the cutest gryffindor ever awwww

plus he’d look amazing in scarlet and gold

Brian: Ravenclaw

this choice should come as no surprise as brian harold may is a true and true ravenclaw

we’re going to start off with how ravenclaws are all so goddamn cool and intelligent ????? like wow, no one can top that shit

brian may is literally a rockstar and astrophysicist and that’s some hardcore ravenclaw energy right there

ravenclaws are also so hardcore interested in the universe

they nut for philosophical conversations and that sort of shit

look at luna lovegood for example

this girl always had the coolest and most interesting shit to say

she is also so fucking smart and no one really believed it for a hot minute and that makes me so angry

ravenclaws also have the ability to see past the surface of what’s in front of them

brian totally has the ability to see past the front that someone has so carefully put up and would get to know you for who you are

also, he looked up at the stars one day and saw them for so much more than glittery things in the sky

it sparked such a passion in him

ravenclaws also take friendship so fucking seriously

friendships are cherished so much within ravenclaw, sometimes even more than their cleverness

bringing up my girl luna again

we find out in deathly hallows that luna literally had decorated her room with portraits of her best friends in the entire world

and all of these paintings have a thin golden chain weaving around them to connect them that literally reads the words “friends” over and over

that’s some cute ass (and kind ass) shit right there

moving into ravenclaw qualities:

intelligence-

we all already know that this man is smart as shit

he has a fucking phd

(i’m repeating this for emphasis) a phd

in space dust !!!!!!!!!!

like this mans started his phd, went and became a member of one of the biggest bands of all time, and then literally went back and finished his phd

he is so smart it makes me want to cry

creativity-

what’s so amazing about bri’s creativity is that it all derives from how fucking smart he is

look at the songs he’s written... like, he’s a musical genius

and even on the songs he didn’t write, he was still super helpful with coming up with the guitar lines which is fucking sick as hell

they’re all so fucking good too

we stan a creative king

acceptance-

from a young age i think brian realized that his interests were probably a lot different than his peers

not only was he constantly thinking about the stars and what was going on in the universe, he also had such a passion for music

this prob led to him standing out from everyone else in a good way

and he had to come to terms with it

but boy did he bc look at him now, that rockin’ space man

tbh i see brian being a half-blood

because he’d have understanding of both the wizard and muggle worlds

something that would benefit his intelligence even further

the tea is that brian may is such a perfect ravenclaw it makes my heart hurt

Roger: Gryffindor

ok so we are starting this out with the fact that roger meddows taylor is in no way a slytherin

he is a gryffindor in the same way the weasley twins are gryffindors

they’re all so fucking cheeky (sorry for using british slang as an american, we just don’t have a term to perfectly embody what they all are)

rog is chaotic in a gryffindor way and not in a slytherin way

gryffindors literally die if the attention isn’t on them and that’s just the tea

they are always constantly throwing themselves into shit they have no reason to be involved in

this boy would literally throw hissy fits all the damn time and that is true gryffindor energy

HE LOCKED HIMSELF IN A CUPBOARD BECAUSE HE DID NOT GET HIS WAY FOR FUCKS SAKE

in summary, roger meddows taylor invented being the boy in the cupboard before harry potter

gryffindors are also a bit arrogant about the fact that they’re gryffindors

sorry, it’s the truth

and roger literally lives up his own asshole

which is really hot but besides the point

they also think their opinion is best

always

we’re bringing up i'm in love with my car again because this boy would not fucking let it go

tbh he prob thought that song deserved song of the year... lbr

gryffindors break the rules all the god damn fucking time and always get away with it

literally rog with anything

that boy probably could have killed a man and everyone would’ve been like ????? did u see something ?????? he’s got all my uwus, that sweet lil murder baby

also gryffindors are hella hot headed

“he would fly off the handle all the time” -brian may

he would throw televisions out the window

the literal definition of hot headed

moving into gryffindor qualities:

brave-

this boy gave literally zero (0) fucks about what anyone thought of him

his friends used to call him rainbow and he WENT WITH IT

toxic masculinity in reference to his wardrobe ????? not here !!!!!!!!!!!!

loyal-

despite all the fights he’d get into with the boys, he loved them so fucking much and could never imagine himself without them right there

like yeah, they disagreed a lot

a lot, a lot

but they’d always come back together in the end

cunning-

FIRST OF ALL, ROGER TAYLOR IS SO FUCKING SMART AND FUCK ALL OF Y’ALL WHO MAKE HIM SEEM LIKE THE DUMB MEMBER OF THE BAND

because he isn’t

ok tea, to be cunning, you gotta be smart

also, he could be quite cunning with the ladies & we all know this

like damn, that man could say “butterbeer” into my ear and i would probably cum

also rog is def skillful and used his cunningness to get what he wanted in the end

i'm in love with my car being the b-side of bo rhap ???? yeah, he played the band like a fucking harp

i think rog would be a pure-blood

prob because he can be so cocky (and most pure-bloods are seriously so cocky about the fact that they’re pure-bloods)

even harry could get cocky about it sorry but it’s the truth

also rog looks like a lion and gryffindors literally nut about lions

John: Slytherin

i’m going to start this by saying i know this is a hot take but john being a slytherin is seriously one thing i hold so close to my fucking heart. don’t @ me

we’re going to start off with the fact that even when he had his soft™ moments, he still exudes chaotic energy 100000% of the time

john is the most chaotic member of the band and he knows it too

as a slytherin, i can honestly say that we are literally the most chaotic people in the world

slytherins also exude big dick energy 10000% of the time

john is the perfect representation of this

his bde is seriously off the charts, holy fuck

slytherins will push you to succeed

this is because we have so much confidence

sometimes our confidence is confused for cockiness though, not all confidence is cocky !!!!!

guess what ??? that confidence we possess goes toward other people too !!

john ????? yeah we all know how supportive he was towards the other boys

seriously wants nothing more than for them to succeed

he still is that way

moving into slytherin qualities:

resourcefulness-

THIS MAN MADE HIS OWN FUCKING AMP?!?! LIKE, HE LITERALLY BUILT THAT SHIT ON HIS OWNNNN

he also loved to discuss how much he loves diy projects in written interviews (as a fun pastime of his)

lemme tell you, diy-ers are the most resourceful bitches ever

seriously, go speak to your local diy-er

they could probably make a refrigerator out of a toothpick, three thumbtacks, and a litter box

cunning-

this mans was known as the “shy” and “more reserved” member of queen (which we have all learned isn’t the fucking case)

he literally let himself slip under the public radar despite having such chaotic energy

he ran with that shy boy™ title and played us for so long

not that i'm mad but like, damn boi

ambition-

this bitch literally got an honors degree in electronics while queen was recording a fucking album

he literally sat his FINAL EXAMINATIONS WHILE RECORDING A DAMN FUCKING ALBUM

sorry but if that ain’t ambition idk what is

it’s also hella sexy he did that oops

fraternity-

john richard deacon, born the 19th of august 1951, embodies the definition of the word fraternity

he loved each of the other members of queen with his whole fucking heart

the definition of fraternity is “the state or feeling of friendship and mutual support within a group” and john literally did that

the tea is that i think john would be a pure-blood

but he wouldn’t be a dick about it

but like, he’s definitely a pure-blood

and slytherins are most commonly pure-bloods

which sucks because muggle borns and half-bloods are dope af

also, john could be such a sneaky snake, don’t test me

plus, you can’t be that fucking kinky (ya know, freaky deaky if you will) and not be a slytherin

sorry, i don’t make the rules.

in summary, john is a slytherin. thank u for coming to my ted talk.

Heyhey Night! I have a buncha questions after seeing all your animations and they're just so cool so! I hope this is ok!! Can u animate normally too, or only pixel? Not that that's bad, just wondering! What's ur preferred kinda animation? Do u prefer lipflaps or lipsyncs? What's the hardest part of the animation process?? What's ur favorite?? Any part u don't like? What's a thing people don't see that u put a lotta time into? Do u have a fave animation u've done? Thank u btw for all ur art!!

Oh stars, okay, yeah- I’m happy to answer all these!! I’ll break them up so it’s easier to read X) And awww geez thank you so much for your support, sweet anon! It really makes my day when people say they like anything I’ve made, and stars knows it’s all the more true with the sweet sweet time sink that is animation (´•̥̥̥\\ヮ\\•̥̥̥` )

I’ll also put this under a cut since it gets a bit long :)

Can u animate normally too, or only pixel?

This one cracks me up a little, don’t worry about it XD I totally can! In fact I enjoy it a lot - and... gods, animation software is a nightmare and a half, to be honest. That’s the biggest hurdle.

I do just straight up love pixel art and the aesthetic I can achieve with it, but I do at times miss ‘normal’ (non pixel?) animation, heh. Especially sound-syncing! I do all my pixel art in Asesprite which imo is the best pixel art program, not to mention made by an actual pixel artist - buuuut it doesn’t have a sound file option. Which makes sense! Er, frankly, most pixel artists wouldn’t... use it to animate like I do? More for games, or for looping gifs? So I can’t complain much, it makes a lot of sense that it’s a low dev priority.

Now, when it comes to other animation programs... I’ve tried a lot. Unfortunately, the ones that are preferable for the feel I like are either way out of budget (stares at TVPaint in the distance) or... well, have too high a learning curve for my single-person workflow, really. (OpenToonz, sigh...) And a lot of the free programs are good for getting a start in animation, but once you get to a certain point you really feel the limitations (whether it’s workflow, sound import, exports, trying to make something more finished than a rough...).

Then... there’s animation programs I just don’t like, and a lot of those are angled towards bone-style animations (nothing wrong with those, they just don’t fit my style? and are too much time investment for a single artist to output more quickly...), or are, well, freakin’ Adobe Animate.

I... gods, I do not like Animate (formerly Flash). And I made a whole 2 minute+ animation in it a couple years ago! (It’s very rough and bad and doesn’t make sense, pfff, not gonna link it XD) It’s... clunky, and vector oriented, and freaking lines don’t go where I want them too, and it tries to predict too much?? It’s hard to put to words, gah. For me, my animation style would be much more... raster oriented. Flow, hand drawn inbetweens, yaddayadda. Animate’s great for... plenty of things, but not for that kind of animation. There are far better animators than I who make it work with freakin’ aplomb though! So really, it’s just my taste, haha.

.... Er, that got long! I’ll cut off more rambling about animation software and tl;dr boil it down to “I love animating period, but turnaround is something I have to keep in mind as a freelancer, as well as budget, and my current focus is pixel animations for a number of reasons.” X)

What's ur preferred kinda animation?

I’m not exactly sure what this one means! Between pixel and non-pixel? Er, they both have their pros and cons, so I couldn’t say! But if I have to break down my current animations into categories, I’d say I have cutscenes, loop environments, and the broad game-like animations...

The first would be something like this animation feat. teasing Edge, the second would be something like this one with skesgo’s Starlan and Cinnamon, and the third is... everything else! From headsprite loops to ‘small’ characters running and so on.

Honestly, they’re all a lot of fun for different reasons! Cutscenes are generally the most challenging, but they give me the chance to push my limits and try and pull off something cool, whether I’m having to conserve frames (to keep the cost of a commission down) or whether I’m going more all out (which is a pricey commission, or a fun personal project, lol).

Loop environments are their own challenge - it may not look like it, but I put a lot of thought into how to make them look as natural as possible! From timing of talking characters, to where to place a blink, to exactly how many frames it’ll take to ‘soften’ a motion (so people aren’t just snapping between major poses) and so on - it takes... a lot of time to animate even simple scenes well, so I do a lot of mental math on how I can keep things affordable when someone approaches me for a commission. And frankly, I totally undercharge;; but I do my best!

Game-like animations are just fun. They range, they’re silly, to intense (I’ve animated fight animations before for game concepts), to indulgent, and beyond! Headsprites are always a delight, especially if I get to push the expression X) and I love tiny things (I mean... I am a pixel artist...) so getting to make lil tiny babs even just walking can be fun - and also, a lot more time consuming than you might thing, esp if you wanna make it smooth, like this lil Frisk I did last month or so:

Do u prefer lipflaps or lipsyncs?

oTL

B... both??

Okay, lipsyncing basically is very time consuming. AND, I freakin’ love it. I love puzzles, and when it boils down to it, that’s what super fun & expressive lip syncing is (some Ghibli animations are the heckin’ best for this)...

and, I’m a pixel artist, without sound-syncing capabilities in her main art program oTL Yeah, I can export frames and line them up and check but... gods, it’s so time consuming. I’ve tried it out of desperation - but for even five seconds of sound (sayyyyy a lil Vine...) that’s hours upon hours of transferring back and forth just to check.

So even though I love lipsyncs, they’re too time-consuming (and ergo, if I’m being commissioned, often too expensive) to do often! Someday I’d like to get back to doing them more often, but for now, practically I stick to/’prefer’, in the loosest terms, to do lipflaps. For the layman, this is that ‘two frame’ (maybe three) open-closed style of animating mouths- however, I’m working on ways to keep that style, but make it more expressive! It depends on the project - and in commissions, I’ll pretty much always prioritize giving the client a little more body animation than mouth animation, unless it’d really fit what they’ve requested.

What's the hardest part of the animation process??

.... damn, this is a tough one! Sometimes I’d say it’s the initial concept work - but it depends on what I have to work with. Sometimes that parts a breeze - and honestly freeing, bc I can take the time to try and push what I’ll do with it!

Roughing is one of my favorite parts, tbh. It can be tricky, sure, but getting to go from keyframes to in-betweens & smears to adding the flairs of secondary motion (think hair swishing, or coats flaring, etc) is so exciting and satisfying.

From there it’s all refining, and tweaking...

Hm. Honestly, the hardest is probably the initial cleanup and lining. It’s cool to see it come together, but it feels so much slower, and it can drag - and then you find bits that actually don’t translate well from the rough stage, so you have to go back and rework, and oof it can just drag in this phase, heh. Plus, I’m always tempted to add more frames, but it’s not always realistic - I’m a perfectionist, to say the least, so I’m constantly having to leash myself back so I don’t turn a project into a half-a-year undertaking, pff.

What's ur favorite??

Probably gave myself away talking about the roughing stage X) It’s just loose and fun and free! But seeing it all come together is also damn satisfying too, so that’s not to say I don’t like the refining portions either...

Outside of that, I also really like the beginning of the color stage! .... Before having to translate shadows/highlights to each and every frame *shudders*. That gets tedious, but it’s so critical! Anyways, though, I heckin’ love colors. I always have a rough palette in mind at the start of the process, but I go ham and play with it as a little break and a true test when I get to actual slap together a full frame with full color, highlights/shadows included! It’s exciting, like a preview of the finished product, basically :D

Any part u don't like?

Heh, by the time I get to shadows/highlights, I tend to be getting impatient, I suppose. It’s not that I don’t like it - I definitely highly value it, and if it was the only thing I was working on in an animation that’d be different, but as a one-woman team I’m just raring to be done at that point; it’s very nearly the last thing I do, after all, so it’s a struggle to focus. X)

I suppose one that always gets me is more complicated backgrounds. It’s a work in progress, as I’m getting better and finding the fun in them for sure! But I’m still not where I want to be in translating ‘background concept’ to ‘finished background’ - it feels more stiff than my animations, I guess. So it’s a frustrating part... but hey, it’s part of it! And learning to embrace the challenge is a big help.

... I just always have to make sure I have a big cup of coffee and a good jam playlist going when I sit down to do ‘em, in the meantime.(=▿= ||||)

What's a thing people don't see that u put a lotta time into?

Definitely the coloring. This goes for both backgrounds and the animated characters themselves. It’s... never as simple as it looks? It’s time consuming, and while some parts of frames can be copy-pasted, I also put subtle work into the animations that mean that some pixels are off so it ends up being marginally faster to just recolor, but then there’s shadows, and working in pixels means that if I miss one then there’s a flickering pixel mid-animation, and sometimes there’s an unconnected line and then you bucket fill the whole damn thing, and gods know I’ve got colored lines so I have to be exacting with keeping the same ratios highlighted vs darker in shifting frames...

*deep breath*

... Yeah, basically the coloring is super time consuming. And balancing bg coloring with animated elements in the image itself is a whole extra challenge on top of that. For 99% of my animations, I can damn near guarantee I’ve spent at least twice as much time coloring it as I have animating it.

Do u have a fave animation u've done?

*looks at my goblin hoard of animations in horror like I’ve been asked to choose a favorite child*

... Stars above, I can’t choose! I love them all, and at this point a good portion of them are commissions- it wouldn’t feel right to choose!

*...carefully covers the hoard’s metaphorical ears*

... also, that said, I can admit a soft spot for any of them that involve humor. I tend to get to do extremely expressive faces and action there, even if I have to ration the frames, so it turns out really fun X)

And though rough and I’ve definitely done stuff I’m more proud of, I still crack up at this one I did a while back of the nonsense ‘ass’ joke between Red & Stretch... their faces were too much fun XD I’ve gotten waybetter since then though, Big Oof, I see so many things I can fix; might go back and redo it someday.

Honestly, though, I just freakin’ love animating! They all have their ups and downs andI always put a lot of love into them and find a way to have fun with it and try to push any emotion/theme (when applicable). I like to think it shows, but idk, that’s something I have to leave up to you guys X)

#night answers #about animating #phew there were a lot-!#thanks so much for your interest #hope these answers made sense! :D #Anonymous

review: hajimari no kyojin (osaka 6/1)

so. hello. i usually write up my butai thoughts as, um, 100+ tweet threads in the immediate wake of whatever i just saw, but this time around i thought i'd work them out into a proper report, of a sort. if you, too, have seen this show already and want to talk about it... please. any time. always.

about reviewing: this is my very favorite 2.5D franchise, ever. but this is also a review, not a cheerleading exercise, so not every single thing i have to say is unrelentingly positive. having said that, i respect kinoshita, wada, suga-zachou, and the staff at large more than just about any creative team in this corner of japanese theater fandom so like. i'm not here to drag, lol.

about spoilers: i talk about the plot elements covered but try to avoid spoiling any of the fun production surprises. :) happy to do a more spoilery play-by-play later if folks are curious.

about length: i just checked and it's 2400 words im so sorry.

without further ado...

first of all, i admit that based on the preview clips i doubted, and i was swiftly taken to task for doubting. IM SORRY WORRY-SAN i trust u implicitly and i should have known better. after the major changes in shinka no natsu, i was concerned that bringing back the revolving stage and the original opening theme would feel stale/regressive. it did not. while they did bring back the revolving element they also extended the stage backward and added a second level behind a full stage height projection screen – the second level was used to do some neat staging for flashbacks/parallels and the screen was used to, how shall we say this, up their projection game in a major way, which i frankly did not think was possible. i will not spoil the details but it was pretty great, on a purely technical level.

i also realized that a lot of the repetition – opening with the bike scene, bringing back the original opening credits music, the staging, etc – is the "look back" over the last couple years that i'd expected to come this fall. they are very obviously already preparing for the end – you could think of this as part one of their last show, with the fall as part two. the show opens with a restaging of sixth grader hinata seeing the little giant on tv for the first time – then the current karasuno team take the place of the tv and hinata joins them for a team jog. "karasuno, fight!" "oh!" "fight!" "oh!" only then each character calls out their signature line from the show so far. "uchi no renchuu wa chanto tsuyoi" / "mou tobenai karasu nante yobasenai" / "murabito b mo tatakaemasu!"

and haha. let me tell you. BOY, DID I FEEL THINGS. a lot of things. i think yachi got me the worst but they were all real bad. (i have so many feelings about yachi's story and what a beautiful job saitou ami did with her character on stage. god. ;_;)

the theme of this play was the role of captain – what makes a good captain, what a captain does for the team, and how to step into those shoes when the captain is gone. the johzenji match is fun, but here, in a sense, it exists more or less to set up the wakutani match – (re)establishing daichi's importance so that his absence feels like the gut punch it is. and fully settling the weight of that responsibility on ennoshita's shoulders, as both daichi's substitute on the court and the captain-in-waiting.

with that in mind, the rival schools: imo it wasn't strictly necessary to cast full teams for each school – each match got its own dedicated act, and unlike, for example, nekoma/datekou in karasuno fukkatsu (which had a similar story structure), there aren't really any individual characters on these rival schools who have a role as such other than terushima and takeru. (you know, the captains. see above. XD) so in theory one could get this done with, like, one actor for each captain and then an ensemble cast playing the rest of the team across both matches. HOWEVER, having all those bodies allows them to do super cool stuff visually, and why force yourself to create the illusion of a full team if you don't have to? i.e., /i/ sure am not complaining, isn't it nice to have $$$ to achieve the max vision of your choreographer. XD

i also have no doubt that the kids playing these other characters are doing whatever they can to create a character within the ensemble, and i suspect there's plenty for repeat viewers to pick up on, esp during say the johzenji match (see below). however for the first time viewer following the main flow of the story it's more or less a very large ensemble cast.

the johzenji chaos was well expressed, haha, there was so damn much going on all the time that i hardly knew where to look. (i've also seen opinions on j-twitter that that diluted the impact and i can see that too – it worked for me as a "funny" match that didn't cross the line into comic relief, but ymmv.) i thought the final scene with misaki would pack more of a punch, but i fully expect them to cry at daisenshuuraku so that might fill in the last 10% that's missing rn.

wakutani are another Good Dance Team. one did get a sense, stylistically, of fukurodani- and nekoma-lite with johzenji and wakunan, respectively – i assume that was intentional. mirroring the cats vs owls match, as it were. yanagihara rin's takeru was like… scary?? i had to rewatch those episodes this weekend to see if i'd just forgotten something, but no, stage takeru is not so much reliable middle brother as scowly quiet tough guy. he looked like a kyoutani tbh, and looking at the kid actually cast for kyoutani, one wonders if someone in casting mixed up some paperwork or something. having said that, yanagihara was great at being the character he was, i enjoyed what he did on stage. i'm just not sure that character was takeru. XD (edit: ok having just rewatched, i have to revise this somewhat, i think a big part of my impression was due to being too far back to properly see his expressions the first time around -- up close he was much smilier, and bc i was thinking about it i noticed some nice details like him going over for a family hug afterward.) otoh big post-match scene – all of wakutani, actually – was really good. v effective, i heard sniffles around me.

during this match, johzenji reappeared dressed as takeru's family: FUCKING HILARIOUS omg, everyone involved has clearly learned how to do this right wrt blocking, the very fine line between comic relief and intrusion, etc, after the, er, shaky shousha to haisha experiment of kuroken doubling as oikawa's fangirls. seichou shita na, errone.

also, some great wire work for hinata and takeru – you could tell kenta is really comfortable up there these days. the first time the wires came into play one of the women behind me went "UWO!" which, when a japanese theatergoer makes a noise out loud, that's a true sign something's impressive. XD

nekoma vs fukurodani: Yeah, That Happened. it is a testament to how well done karasuno vs wakunan was that i didn't just spend the entire time screeching BRING BACK CATS VS OWLS because fjkdajfkdlsfjd KYAA. another good staging moment – they used mirrors to create the effect of two full teams playing at a crowded gymnasium, it was brill. i won't spoil some of the fun details but vvjakdlfjdf. and tbh i think the best performance of the four was probably shouri's?? not that this is news but istg idk how someone so soft offstage does THAT on stage. is it this "acting" thing you speak of.

new bokuaka: i mean it was clear some of this material was meant for yoshimoto kouki and i did kinda miss him – i appreciate higashi-san's pinch hitting and he did a solid job. but. ah well. HAVING SAID THAT. fucking "michi wo tsukurimasu yo" i mean we should all be grateful it wasn't kouki and yuuki or it would have just been a fucking fanfic on stage. it was still bad and i don't even go here. XD

and last but not least, arita ushiwaka kenji: not exactly the world's most natural line delivery but that's fine because, i mean, he's ushiwaka. and his physical presence was perfect. which was about all he was called on to do in this particular show, ahaha.

now, for karasuno. and specifically, for my son, kawahara kazuma. remember what i said approximately a thousand words ago, about captains and captains in waiting and stepping up to the plate? (or onto the court, as it were.) ennoshita's story was the heart of the wakutani match and kazuma carried the second act. he was. so. good. he had good material to work with, of course, but he made it even better. i was saying to a friend that in retrospect i think this is one of the very very few parts of the series that actually played better and more emotionally affecting on stage than in the source material (as opposed to differently good/differently affecting). in the manga/anime, you can only see what the paneling or the frame shows you, and those initial paneling/framing choices are focused on the drama of CAPTAIN DOWN. but on the stage, daichi goes down… and off to the side you see ennoshita freeze. and from that moment on, for kazuma, it's go time. he doesn't let up until the end of post-match scene in (here) the locker room – which, jesus, that scene. it packs ten times the punch it does in the anime. because of kazuma.

sorry if i sound like a crazy person here ahaha. but like. like, imagine you have been acting since childhood, you've studied dance with famous choreographers and innovators, you had a main role in The Franchise That Changed 2.5D as a teenager, you've done a solo album, you have a serious history in performing arts... and you get cast in what was initially the smallest role of the entire karasuno team. and you take it! and pull your weight! kazuma was a team player for three years and he deserved this chance to let his actual skills shine so much. ;_; because i don't necessarily think he would have been better in any of the other roles than his actual teammates – but i do think he is a much better actor than several of his actual teammates. and he finally got the opportunity to show that.

anyway, when it came time for curtain calls, the applause swelled noticeably for kazuma – a louder ovation than anyone except kagechan and kenta. and one of those people clapping her hands off, say in row 20, just a random row choice, was definitely tearing up at the same time.

IN OTHER KARASANEWS. kt-san. LIVE IN PERSON KT-SAN BACK IN THE ROLE HE WAS MEANT FOR cries into my hands i love him daichi-saaaaaaaaaan. very occasionally his delivery reminded me he's a model not an actor, if you know what i mean, but like, for the vast part it didn't matter because he is naturally such a perfect fit. have i mentioned i love him.

new suga: mmmmm. he looked and moved fine but his line delivery did not convince me. tbf it's not like suga has a huge role to play in these matches so 1) it's not a huge deal 2) he didn't get much chance to get into the character. either he'll get better or he won't, and if he doesn't it's not going to sink the next play or anything. he seems like a nice enough kid, i wish him well!

kageyama tatsuya: still can't yell and enunciate at the same time. loved that they brought back the archer analogy from shinka no natsu though!! it was one of my favorite things about his kageyama, and it's nice that it's something he "owns" instead of imitating/inheriting from tatsunari.

tsukishima & yamaguchi: miura kairi continues to get even better, i'm so pleased. <3 also, i love love love that they still use the musical motif from shousha to haisha for yamaguchi's jump float serve. it was the same in shinka no natsu, it's the same here. THE TSUKKIYAMA WAS REAL CUTE, great detail work before and after the serve as well as after tsukki's block(s). as for tsukishima, much as they brought back kageyama's archer imagery, they brought back tsukki's fancy katana kill block. (they didn't waste kondou shouri, either, i'll leave it at that.)

last but not least, MY ACTUAL SON AND FEELINGS TWIN, SUGA KENTA: ok like. to set the scene here. i have mad respect for this kid and also love him to death as a human. i think he puts more thought into this production than anyone else in the cast – he is practically worry-san's AD. and he clearly has a lot of real deep thoughts and feelings about the source material. so deep in fact that it took a while for me to come around to his hinata because while, for example, tatsunari's kageyama could have walked straight off my television screen, kenta went down to the manga and built hinata up from there. he didn't have a choice – he's nothing like murase ayumu's voice. all too often we, and i include myself here, think of the two dimensions in 2.5D as anime, rather than manga... but just as there's a big gap between the two dimensions of animation and the three dimensions of live theater, there's as big a gap again between static black-and-white drawing, and movement and color and sound. and when i looked at kenta's hinata as something created solely from furudate's art style, it all slotted into place for me. (naturally, ymmv.)

it also took kenta longer than some of the others, i think, to portray all of what he wanted to. shoen hinata was pretty yelly, and pretty single-register yelly. hinata is a yelly character, of course, but the balance between that hinata and Serious Match Hinata was out of whack at first. this got better and better with every show. and then—

his encounter with ushiwaka here. was IT. it was what i was looking for all this time. his delivery of hinata's big line there was like – i think maybe i clapped my hands over my mouth, unclear, bc it was like the final missing piece and i was so happy. kentaaaaa. ;____;

part of me wonders if this is what kenta's always had in his head but maybe couldn't get his face/voice to express the way he wanted it? OR, IT'S KENTA, SO MAYBE IT WAS ON PURPOSE and his previous Serious Hinata was meant to be like, just a feral hunger child whereas this is the kid who experienced the heartbreak of losing to seijou. i would love to ask him tbh. XD

anyway, my son, after five plays continues to grow in his portrayal of this character. kenta is the heart of gekidan haikyuu in so many ways, and i will be at their graduation show if it kills me.

(breathes out) i think that's. everything. a best setter award to anyone who read this far, and feel free to ask if there's anything specific you want to know about? i will be seeing it again this weekend for daisenshuuraku and will be sure to report back on who cried, etc. all hail volleyball stage the end. 🏐

#review #engeki haikyuu #hajimari no kyojin #im sorry i have so many feelings #AND THIS IS THE EDITED VERSION #i spared you my intensive theories on how kazuma ended up in this role in the first place #i just #look #i love this production so much

“Give me someone who loves like me, up there on the tv or movie, anything would do. Cause I’ve learned surviving isn’t living, we deserve way more than a brief romance on an episode or two, we deserve something unconventional”

Elise: I’m giving us a round of applause

Natasha: Thanks for having us

Dana: I mean come on, it was a given right? I’m gonna throw a monkey wrench into this whole thing, so dear listeners, I am not going to ask these actresses, these multi talented creative types, anything about their flagship Carmilla. No i am not.

Elise: Whaaat?!

Natasha: Whatt?!

Dana: Because I don’t know if you know this but these guys are going to be doing a “Hollstein” panel at ClexaCon so there’ll be lots and lots of Carmilla questions there. So this, this is my version of the actors studio and i'm just going to ask them all sorts of weird ass questions, and hopefully some thought provoking questions, so you can get to know them a little better as people. How do you feel about that lades?

Natasha: I feel fantastic about it

Elise: Very excited

*laughter*

Dana: Alright! So my first question: this is for both of you...

Natasha: Ok

Dana: What would you tell your 15 year old self now, if you could go back in time?

Natasha: You know what, I was thinking about this recently, actually, haha, I was thinking about it bc I was taking a painting class with my mom and I was thinking about how i'm more a creative person than someone who can follow instructions and I think if I could go back in time I would maybe tell my 15 year old self that she doesn't have to go to university. Um, here in Canada, university and college are different things, so what we call university, I guess yall call college but college and university are different here so usually when your very academic and a straight A student, it’s expected that you go to university to get a degree. But I think that um yea, I think I would tell my 15 year old that it would be ok to like go to an acting school or go do a diploma program instead. That being said, I don't have any regrets. But I think I would tell myself and also tell young people now that it's ok if you learn differently from others. Yea, I don’t know something that just popped into my head recently.

Elise: I am into it. And I would probably tell young Elise that she could just skip over the vegan stage that she was in for a brief while.

*laughter*

Elise: There was like a year and ½ that I just went without dairy and you know like why? Why..

Dana: You would tell young Elise to eat that ice cream girl, eat it!

Elise: Cheese is a great invention. I understand that humans are like probably incapable of digesting it very well and like it probably really bad for environment and like cheese pizza is a great thing so that’s probably the sage wisdom I would gift young Bauman.

Dana: *laughing* I would expect nothing less from you Elise. So eat cheese.

Elise: Eat the dairy, don’t forgo the yogurt. The whole course of my life could’ve been very different. I’m kidding. It was great, it was a great time. Nothing against vegans, vegans are great people! Gonna get a lot of backlash for this.

Dana: Now’s she’s backtracking. *laughing* So speaking of food, if you and Natasha were attending a dinner party, what do you think the other one would bring?

Natasha: oohh

Elise: I would say Natasha would maybe, I mean this is a little on the nose, but maybe like a greek salad.

*laughing*

Elise: But like a REAL greek salad! Like real, authentic feta cheese and all that good stuff. Either that or she would go straight to like a meat platter. Be like alot of cured...

Dana: Just like lamb on a stick or something?

Elise: No it would be, like it would be really nice. She would have hand selected a bunch of really nice meats and pickles and cheeses and she’d thrown like, a good platter.

Dana: So she’d be like the queen of charcuterie?

Elise: Charcuterie! Thats what its called. Yea yea yea, she would do that. It would be on a really nice wooden board or something.

Natasha: Ooohhh that’s very accurate. I think I would do something like that or at least some ingredients for someone else’s charcuterie board, for sure. Some like, preserves or something. Um yea i don't think I’d bring a salad because no one likes the girl who brings the salad

*laughing*

Natasha: Also it would be a little be cheap of me too, you know? I think, to let it impress. Also I have a secret, culturally i'm not greek, but I do make a mean greek salad, my family's macedonia.

Dana: Macedonia!

Natasha: So the food is actually terrible, it's like boiled potatoes and overcooked flavorless meat.

Elise: Nobody wants to be the girl with salad, but especially nobody wants to be the girl with the boiled potatoes.

“laughing”

Natasha: Yea I brought you some boiled potatoes, hahaha. I think that Elise would bring like some hummus, some appetizers for before dinner. Like some really good hummus, maybe some kale chips, or she would just bring her own separate meal that she would eat out of her own tupperware while everyone else is eating. Which like I secretly do admire because I wish that I had Elise’s discipline. No or she’d surprised everyone and bring a really nice dessert actually, like a good pie.

Elise: Ooohhh yea! I baked a pumpkin pie recently, it was a good time.

Natasha: Yea

Elise: Yea, alright I like that, I like that. I think we should throw a dinner party. I think that's really where this is going.

All: yea!

Elise: Make a mental note, make sure Elise doesn't bring kale chips

Dana: Alright Natasha, what's the biggest misconception about you?

Natasha: I think the biggest misconception is that i'm extremely vain and/or high maintenance. And I was thinking about this, I don’t know if its my bone structure or what but I was thinking about this recently and its interesting that a lot of people who take care of their appearance, or are really good at self care are perceived as high maintenance because my being good at taking care of myself means that i dont need alot from other people! Know what im sayin?

Elise: Ha. “know what im sayin.”

Natasha: I think that would be one. I’m not so fancy. I think that's the biggest misconception that i’m fancier-

Elise: She's into fancy cured meats but nothing else.

Natasha: ...that im fancier than i am, but i mean,

Dana: But she’s not like using them as facial hydration or like...

Elise: Yea.

Natasha: That's what i use greek salad for.

*laughter*

Dana: It’s astringent, it works.

Dana: What about you Elise, what is the biggest misconception about you?

Elise: Mmmm, I think probably somewhere around, I think people think im only ever a positive person, which may be a bit of a far stretch sometimes (she says laughing). I think I have a lot more aggression than people realize,

Dana: “Although she is little, she is fierce” is what you’re saying?

Elise: Yea something like that.

Dana: Do you have a punching bag, something you can work with?

Elise: I don't have a punching bag, I just signed up for soccer again! I signed up for a soccer team.

Natasha: That's awesome

Elise: Yeah I used to play soccer from maybe like 10 until high school and I loved it and it was definitely my sport and then I, well i just stopped playing after high school because there weren't many opportunities to play. And I have terrible knees, but that's not stopping me so i'm going to go do another stint at soccer. Just for fun. I think I need that outlet. I think I really need to get back to my tomboy roots. I've been feeling that way a lot lately. I’m like “why am I trying so hard to be this other thing? I don't know.” So I’m going to go back on the field.

Dana: I love how this shit got really deep right there.

*laughter*

Dana: See there was a method to my madness guys! Ok so, what is the question that you’ve always wanted an answer to, but have yet to get one?

Elise: What happens after we die? Like thats been a huge one since I was a kid.

Dana: I think that's pretty fair.

Elise: I thinks that's really what is the meaning, why am I here, what the point, what’s the purpose?

*laughing*

Elise: You know, things like that, generally what I think about on a Wednesday afternoon.

*laughing*

Elise: Natasha?

Natasha: I was just going to say, how one changes their fitted sheet when they are by themselves?

Elise: Or.. How one folds a fitted sheet!? That is something would love an answer to.

Natasha: Yes. Im sure there are YouTube tutorials for this, but putting a fitted sheet on a bed when you're one person is so tricky. Because as soon as you tuck one side in, the other side lifts up..or like putting your duvet cover on.

Elise: Oh yea

Dana: Oh the worst! And then you get trapped in the duvet cover when your by yourself

Natasha: Yea!

Dana: Then you just hope someone comes to the door, like UPS.

Elise: That one i figured out, you have to like lie the whole thing down on your floor and then take the two corners and then like pull it over and it's a logs and anyway...

Natasha: The germaphobe in me does not like that. I’d think of the dog and it would be like, ugh on my floor. Although he does sleep in my bed technically, so what's the difference?

Elise: Oh yea a dog.

Dana: I’d introduce you to my dog right now but she's currently snoring and farting, simultaneously

*laughing*

Natasha: Amazing!

Dana: Ok ,what are you guys nostalgic about?

Elise: Pogs

Dana: Pogs? Like the little paper things?

Elise: You can get medal ones too or plastic ones

Dana: Oh haha pardon me!

Elise: You were really fancy if you got a metal pog, that’s when you know you made it.

Natasha: Oh yea

Dana: But what’s the purpose of pogs? Like what did pogs do?

Natasha: It was a game!

Elise: Um, elevated, like your self worth as a human. *Laughter* Like you know, feeling really blue today, but let me just look at my pog collection and know I feel alot better about my outlook

Dana: Did you throw them? I don’t, I remember pogs but i didn’t play with them. But what did you do with them? Did you just throw the little pieces of cardboard, excuse me, metal?

Elise: I think you just hoarded them and like compared your pogs to other kids.

Natasha: Nooo it was a game, it was like a serious game guys, there were tournaments!

Dana: Is this, were pogs more popular in Canada? I’m starting to think they were.

Elise: That and Tamagotchis, Tamagotchis were the it thing for a while.

Natasha: Yea

Elise: But I killed all my pets so I wasn’t very good at that one. I would set my alarm and wake up at 3 am and be like “I gotta water this thing again?” and it’d be dead by 7 am the next day. Yeaa

*laughter*

Dana: What about you Natasha? Are you nostalgic about pogs are is there something else that really gets your nostalgia button?

Natasha: Oohh I don’t know, I mean, gosh, I get really nostalgic over children's choral music.

*laughter*

Natasha: I was a choir nerd so I can’t hear children’s choirs without getting very emotional. And then I can’t listen to it. Or like really obscure like choir folk music. Because I used to go, I used to compete in competitions with my choir and like travel across North America and yea. There’s this one cd we have of, it was like, my choir sang with like ten other choirs from all across North America and it was this massive church and we were all, it wasn’t, it just happened to be in a church, they weren't religious choirs, but we were like all along the outside of the aisles and in the balconies and I just remember it was a really cool experience having hundred and hundreds of voices under 12 coming together. So yea, whenever I hear kids choral music, especially around the holiday times if there's something playing. I don't love the holiday season but if there's something with a kids choir I get really nostalgic cause my best childhood memories were surrounded by choir and singing so yea.

Dana: That's really sweet. Alright super serious question here guys, have you ever seen a ghost?

Elise: Yes I have.

Natasha: Whoa what!

Dana: What? Tell us who was it, what ghost was it, where was it? I want details, I want everything.

Elise: I’ve seen a couple ghosts. I was a kid and a lady ghost just flew over my bed one day, well not flew, it was just kind of like there, I don’t know. And then another time I was in a church and I saw a man in like a uniform or something walk by and then I was like what the, so I went into room but there were no doors leading out of that room so I was like “probably a ghost, probably a ghost”.

Dana: Did your sightings of ghosts stop as you got older?

Elise: Yes, yea. I only saw the 2 when I was a kid. Maybe they weren't real, maybe they were figments of my imagination.

Dana: Or you were really intuitive as a kid and you were open to it. I think a lot of kids see things that adults turn their minds off to.

Elise: Totally. I totally think that are other parallel realms going on and we can kind of pop in and out of them occasionally.

Dana: What about you Natasha? Have you ever seen a ghost? A spirit? Poltergeist?

Natasha: No i’ve never seen one, I think i’ve shut myself off to that stuff so. But a medium did once tell me that i had a posse of ghosts around me, she did not use the word posse (laughter) but there were many spirits around me that were not related to me and that I didn’t know and I was like “oh that’s disturbing”

*laughter*

Natasha: Particularly there's this little girl ghost that follows me around and I was like ok, not the most terrifying of the ghosts.

Dana: The good thing is you’re never alone.

*laughter*

Dana: Why aren't they helping you with your f***ing fitted sheet though is my question?

*laughter*

Natasha: Yea, like who’s refilling the ice cube tray, come on ghost posse!

Natasha: But weirdly enough both my mom and my brother saw the same thing in the house I used to live im. They used to see this dark shadow that was darker than a shadow move across my basement wall in the same spot and they hadn't told each other until years later because my brother was a really little kid when he saw it and my mom saw it but she didn't really believe in that stuff. Then like years later my brother had mentioned it and it was really strange that they both saw the same thing without and had described the exact same thing without talking to each other about it. So that was kind of bizarre.

“Scary Music”

Dana: Next question.

Natasha: I like these questions.

Elise: I know. I’m into this I like this. This is fun.

Dana: : Let's talk about failure.

*laugher*

Natasha: Oh great! How much time do we have?

Dana: Says one of the most successful actresses working today. So what is a time that you failed spectacularly but learned a lot?

Elise: Oh god like every day.

Natasha: Yea, I was gonna say, every day

Elise: Im really, this is very interesting. I have like an allergic aversion to failure. I really don't like for people to see me failing in any capacity. Which leads me to put up a front of “I've got it all together, everything's fine, dont worry about a thing”. Which is not always the case because I’m a human being and I don’t think I know any human beings who have it all together. But I was thinking about this the other day. Because the emotion I remember the strongest of being a kid is embarrassment. When I think about times I got embarrassed as a kid, I will still get a flush in my cheeks. For whatever reason, that is still such a pungent thing I can connect to being a kid and I think a driving force has been me trying to avoid that feeling. Which has led me to make safe choices a lot and do things, which really goes against my nature. By nature I’m a person who is a risk taker, who is a person who puts themselves on the line so i'm trying, it's really interesting that your bringing that up, because that’s something i’ve been thinking about a lot the past couple weeks is fearlessness and failure and wanting to really re-evaluate my relationships to those words.

Natasha: Yea, so well said. I think that I also fail on a daily basis but learn from it every time. You know it's interesting because I was also a very studious young person who always wanted to succeed and do really well at things, and I remember when you were talking about nostalgia and we were talking about choirs, I have this memory of me in this voice competition between, I took a year off between highschool and university and I was in this really serious voice competition and I had to sing like 8 different pieces all by memory and four different languages from particular years. It was the most intense thing I had ever done, this huge national competition. And in the middle of one my songs I forgot the words and I forgot the words for the first time ever in my life in the middle of this really intense competition and I stopped. And I remember I wanted to just fall and run out of the room but I just looked over the shoulder and I looked up and I started again and then I did the rest of my piece after that and then of course immediately threw up when I left the room. I was so humiliated than I had ever been, I think that’s my most embarrassing moment that I blocked out for a long time and i’ve never been so so humiliated. But I had to stick around for hours because all these professores were adjudicating it, and I ended up coming in 1st place and I remember being so shocked and the reason why is because of how I was able to recover and it was really amazing. It was a really great lesson just when your talking about failure and what you learn from it. It was a really great lesson in that its ok to make mistakes and its ok to not be perfect and it’s really about how you dealt with it. And I remember how the professors were like “Yes, you forgot the words, but you were able to keep going, even though you wanted to cry, you were able to get through the rest of your pieces flawlessly and you composed yourself so well”. So I think that was a really good lesson in that you don't always have to thrive for perfection all the time.

Elise: Totally

Natasha: Yeah, have little universal reminders of that everyday.

Elise: Even like setting your alarm and sleeping in. I failed, i’ve already failed at the getting up at the time i said i was going to get up. Like there are moments of little failures throughout the day yea risk. That's another thing, i have to risk the failure too.

Dana: Can i share my failure with you?

Both: Yes please!

Dana: So you may know that I used to work at this website and I loved it and I was very devoted and after I did this event for this little show called Carmilla, I came home and I got a phone call from my big boss that my position was going to be eliminated. After I had worked, you know, really really hard to establish myself in this position, and I was so humiliated by it that I didn’t leave my room for 2 days. All I could think was “i’m nothing without this job” like I cease to exist, who Dana Piccoli is ceases to exist now that this job is over. I was so worried what people would think of me, would they think that I sucked, would they think that I wasn’t good at what I was doing and I was so nervous about facing up to it. But what I think I learned through all that is that who I am is more than any job and what I do and what I’m trying to do, what I’m trying to give is bigger than all of that. And I think it really made me a stronger person, it made me a stronger writer, it made me a much more intuitive, empathic person to because I failed spectacularly in front of the internet, and the lesbian and queer internet who I had become very intimately connected with. So, that humiliation, that failure, led to me being who I am today and it's something im proud of and I’m happy with. So thats my big failure that I learned from.

Elise: Your sense of worth and external things, those things can be blown down like a house of cards in an instant and so if I haven’t developed the things that are in me then when those things do inevitably fall down, such as aging, like if I place so much value in my looks then im you know all of a sudden those by nature start to lessen. Um, then yea like I think that's just so on point what you said about how I though i didn’t have any value outside of this external thing. That's something i'm really trying to work on right now too. Like whoa whoa, what have I placed my own value in? And then what is it actually outside of those things, you know? Yea that’s so good.

Dana: Alright, let's go into something slightly lighter than that. What's the best thing you've ever bought yourself with your own hard earned cash? Or loonies, loonies I should say!

And it doesn't have to be a big thing. But it's a thing that your like I bought this with my own damn money and hard work.

Elise: I think for me, maybe not a thing necessarily, but coming to LA for this winter, that's where I am right now, that's been a big thing for me, is taking these few months off of working to be here and really focus on what I want to be focusing on. Also I went through a brief stint of buying some really awesome New Balance sneakers and i’ve got a few pairs now and i’m just really loving my collection of sneakers.

Natasha: Oh man. I think one of the biggests misconceptions about our type of internet fame or how we got “famous” is our followers equal dollar signs

*laughter*

Dana: We know that Natasha.

Natasha: Well I was going to say, im in so much student debt because I put myself through 3 years of school that I still live paycheck to paycheck. That I would say that my ability to pay my rent every month and not worry about paying rent anymore is a really wonderful accomplishment and I also recently closed off one of my student lines of credit sooo...

Elise: Nice!

Dana: Congratulations!

Natasha: Simple, I’m like oh my credit score has gone up and improved greatly and I was able to buy myself eye glasses so that I could see again, and I might go to the dentist this week.

Dana: It’s the little things!

Natasha: Yes! So I think it’s humble adulting. And being able to adopt my doggie and take care of him responsibly. I think that's like the best thing.

Elise: Yea they can be expensive.

Natasha: Yea, they can. I mean he’s not so fancy but he’s better dressed than I am.

Dana: Mine’s costing me a fortune!

Dana: Ok so final question before I get to always final question. Where is your happy place?

Natasha: One of my happy places, because I really can’t choose just one, it depends on where i’m at in my life and what I need in that moment, you know, my happy place is most of the time on set, when i’m doing my job and doing a job that I love and i’m on set, thats like the best feeling in the world. But outside of work, I’d say, I still work at a farmers market for no real reason and I do that every 2 weeks or so or once a month with one of my best friends that I used to work in his restaurant when I was a starving artist and yea. I think just seeing the same faces i've been seeing for the last 5 years getting my hands dirty, and selling like wholesome and organic food, it's just really nice. It really is one of my happy places and I call it my therapy because for a moment I can go and like just be girl selling pie and eating delicious food and catching up on life with my friends and it’s so nice to have something that forces me to wake up in the morning and be accountable and show up. I don’t know. It really is just one of my happiest places. There's always street performers and musicians that play every week and there's always that great music like someone playing accordion and it such a Toronto thing too but it’s just so cute. There’s all these families around that are all mixed race and speaking different languages and there’s just a really nice peaceful vibe to that particular market that i enjoy. So yea, that's one of them.

Elise: I’m just a girl, standing in front of a pie, asking it to lover her.

*laughter*

Natasha: I do that every time I’m there

Elise: Ah man thats too funny. Where is my happy place? Um I went to Joshua Tree this Christmas and fell in love with it there, its so beautiful. I went rock climbing with my brother. Like any time im outdoors in nature that's when I really feel like most connected to my higher self and the planet and the universe and all that good stuff. So yea but I mean, I generally live in giant garbage ridden disgusting cities, like NY and Toronto and LA. I don’t really get that alot. So those moments when I am outdoors, like I went snowshoeing up on these mountains with my friends in BC over Christmas and yea those are def my happy places.

Dana: You guys are such beautiful souls.

Elise: Someone just recently, not told me, because I knew they existed but baths man! Baths are so underrated. I haven't had a bath since I was kid probably….Natasha’s face right now is like ugh ugh. But baths are just so relaxing! I had one the other night and I was like this is really great. You guys are so not on board, just trust me! Put some epsom salt, light a couple of candles, you might surprise yourself.

Natasha: No. I’ve tried to take baths all the time and i've just accepted that i don't enjoy them. Everytime i do it im like why am I forcing myself to do this? Because i'm going to be like 30 in a few years and society tells us that women loves baths. Like, no.

Dana: Not only do we love baths, we love eating yogurt in baths.

Natasha: Yea

Dana: All I can think about is getting epsom salts up my who-ha, that’s not relaxing to me.

Natasha: No, sitting in my own filth and having to stare at my naked body and like accept my body issues is absolutely not! And also being confined to a small space and being wet, im not about like water, im like no, no.

*laughter*

Dana: So to hell with your bath Elise, your happy place.

Elise: Well thanks for ruining my happy place.

Dana: We just made it a sad place.

Natasha: Hey to each their own, no judgment. I get the concept of the bath

Dana: You guys are heading to Vegas, soon, as am I. As are the many people who are listening to this. Was last year your first time in Vegas?

Natasha: It was.

Elise: It was indeed.

Dana: So I always ask everyone at the end of the podcast, what their favorite things about Vegas are and what would they recommend? I know your guys were really busy and you didn’t have a lot of downtime, but did you get to do anything where you were like, this is kind of crazy fun!?

Natasha: We had a really nice time in the artist alley. We went to some cool vintage shops and went to a really nice cafe, that I think was really more our speed. Elise and I are really similar in that we take our jobs pretty seriously and want to be in high spirits, so I feel like all the bartenders and like restaurant folks hated us because we were like “We’ll just have water and a salad.”

*laughter*

Natasha: And went in at like 10 every night but I did see a Cirque du Soleil show that was incredible! I saw “Love” and i’m so glad that i did it. I was like when in rome, im going to go see a show even though it was past my bedtime and...

Elise: I was so mad I didn’t go to that.

Natasha: Yea, like the word spectacle, that's what it was, it was spectacular. Cirque du Soleil is always amazing but the fact that it’s in a theater that's built specifically for the show, everything was seamless and flawless, from the lighting design to like even the technical cues, like someone in a booth cue-ing them up and they’re seamless. The dancing was amazing. I saw “Love” so it’s all Beatles music, which I love so much, so yea it was really fantastic. I hope I get to see another show this year.

Elise: I’ll be down, lets go, lets do it.

Natasha: The performances were just like really really amazing. I also just love the desert. I love dry climate and I love desert life but I’m not as into debauchery as my. I don't know what it is man, I don't know what people think im like.

Dana: I’ve spent numerous evening and experiences with you and I would never describe you as debaucherous.

*laugher*

Natasha: No, i know i know! I think I had a brief moment in time like 7-6 years ago and then I was like cool, im good

*laughter*

Dana: So what about you Elise, besides the slot machines?

Elise: Artist alley was pretty rad, there's all these crazy old vintage stores just chalk full of weird Vegas antiques.

Natasha: Yeah.

Elise: So that was pretty cool. The strip itself is not really my jam, but I don’t know, I mean I’m not really there to see, im more there to meet people and hang out and yea. Im really looking forward to it, Vegas was such a good time last year.

Natasha: Yea, I mean I enjoyed the convention itself so much, I think its my most favorite one I’ve done so.

Dana: Oh yay!

Natasha: I’m really looking forward to it again this year, more than the city. It could be anywhere and I would enjoy it.

Dana: Do you hear that ClexaCon? Next year we could be in Iowa!

Elise: Let’s not push things Dana

*laughter*

Dana: No offense Iowa! I’ve been to you, you’re lovely. Well thank you to the two of you, you are always so thoughtful and interesting and funny and i’ve probably interviewed you guys a gazillion times but it's always a new and interesting experience!

Elise: Thank you for having us, this was fun!

Natasha: Yeah you always have the best questions!

Elise: You really do, we sometimes have the same questions all the time.

Dana: I know you do so you going to see the 3 of us, well the 2 of them and i'll be there too at the Hollstein panel at ClexaCon. Not sure what day it is yet but they're going to be there. And where can our listeners find you on social media if they aren't already following you, which im sure they are

Elise: @baumanelise and that is now both the same on Instagram and Twitter because I was a baby when I made my twitter and it involved numbers and it really didn't need too so it's all matching now.

Natasha: You can find me on Instagram and Twitter @natvanlis, my first name and then my last name mushed together! That’s it!

*laughter*

Dana: Oh well, you guys have a wonderful next couple of what... we have less than 60 days until ClexaCon?

Natasha: Really? Time flies.

Elise: I gotta start packing.

Dana: It does. I know right? I have all my outfits planned out. I have a spreadsheet with my outfits on it.

Natasha: That’s impressive! Can you come over and do that for me please?

Elise: Organizational queen-ness right there! That is awesome.

Natasha: That's amazing. Elise and I usually have a crisis the night before amd

call each other or meet up in our hotel rooms and up wearing like running shoes and a t-shirt

Dana: Please! You guys looked amazing last year.

Elise: Looking back on what I've worn, it really does look like there's not been a lot of planning in there.

Dana: You goobers. Every time I've seen you you look amazing.

I’m going pink, so the next time you see me i'll have dark pink, ombre hair so crossing my finger that that works out

Natasha: oooohhh! I hope it works out better than my bangs.

Dec 11 Dancitron Movie Night - Phantom of the Opera

A live show, not the movie. Prowl is convinced that in another life, Soundwave could have been the Phantom.

Today Specs 8:10 pm ((oshit am I early)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:11 pm ((very XD that's okay, stay)) Specs 8:11 pm ((okay if it's cool with you. I was lurking on rabbit while doing my homework and I got the little "noodlesatnightisactive" ding so I just. showed up.)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:12 pm ((there wassss something else going on until like five minutes ago. now it is stream time)) Specs 8:12 pm ((:O)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:13 pm ((NOBODY TYPE FOR A MINUTE THO)) Me 8:15 pm ((there are Hijinks to be had before guests are "officially" allowed in)) Swoop 8:17 pm ((That's fine. More time to bransform what Swoop can do tonight.)) Me 8:18 pm ((i hear tara is in a mood to get in a dumb fight with someone~)) Swoop 8:18 pm ((but soundwave doesn't allow swoop to bring a mace in : < )) Magnum Ace 8:19 pm ((swoop doesn't need mace Bevel 8:19 pm *Bevel peers around the empty room for a moment, noting the lack of Soundwave and decides maybe some shenanigans are in order. Where there was once a train, is now Soundwave. Totally Soundwave. She's even going to take his usual place on the couch like y'do* ((hacker voice: I'm in. Me 8:21 pm *Prowl arrives earlier than usual, hoping to catch Soundwave before the other guests start to arrive. And indeed—there he is.* Evening. *Prowl walks up to him, pauses; and then decides to plop right down on his lap. Soundwave's done it to Prowl, it's fair game.* *And immediately turns sideways to slide an arm over Soundwave's shoulder.* Magnum Ace 8:22 pm ((poor bevel Bevel 8:23 pm *immediately all the tension, these are not the shenanigans she was aiming for at all* Twincast 8:23 pm *slides in* *to 'soundwave'* Y'know for a sec there I thought ya weren't gonna let me in. I was waitin' for an awful while Me 8:24 pm *oh shit other guests* *hhhhhe's going to slide off and pretend he was never there.* Twincast 8:24 pm *it's cool. you're cool. Do whatcha gotta do~* Me 8:25 pm ((... well. as long as someone walked in, no reason everyone else can't i guess.)) Twincast 8:26 pm (( oh, was I not supposed to? (( bc if I wasn't then I didn't get the memo ItsyBitsySpyers 8:26 pm ((it's okay, it's okay, the notif got swallowed with replies)) Me 8:26 pm ((it was said before you came in, s'allright.)) Swoop 8:27 pm *scampers in with ALL THE GODDAMN STICKERS* BIRD BIRD Me 8:27 pm *Well. No more lapsitting. He's still going to lean on Soundwave, though. That's totally lowkey.* Bevel 8:27 pm *Twincast will get a grateful look, which mostly just looks like nothing honestly. Soundwave's helm turning to "stare"* *awkwardest fidget* *trying to work up the words because these are not the shenanigans she was expecting* Me 8:29 pm *lowers his voice enough that only Soundwave can hear.* I apologize for, er. Fffalling asleep after one round. However— *oh so very subtly subtly runs a finger along the edge of his back armor.* I have no plans before work tonight. Magnum Ace 8:31 pm -pings Soundwave for a bridge. Movie night is tonight, right?- ItsyBitsySpyers 8:31 pm *Bird isn't there yet, but it's damned hard not to hear a Dinobot yelling her name, so she floats downstairs, chirping hello to her minion, and just... stops. Stops flying, stops talking, stops doing anything but hovering and staring at the Boss' couch.* Bevel 8:31 pm *oh sweet amalgomous prime what a tmi lesson learned* Twincast 8:31 pm ((RIP Bevel Swoop 8:31 pm *scampers over to Bird, jumping up and down and holding up the stickers* Bird Bird look STICKERS! ..... ??? *why is bird paused?* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:31 pm {{...Boss?}} Swoop 8:32 pm *we just don't know* Twincast 8:32 pm *Finds a seat, yes* Swoop 8:32 pm *looks over at Soundwave, looks at Bird, looks at Soundwave.... nope, he got nothing* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:32 pm *Soundwave opens a bridge outside for the Leaguers, and finishes making his way down the stairs.*

[[Yes, yes. He knows he's l...]] Bevel 8:32 pm *stares at Laserbeak, if you can't tell she's doomed to shove Prowl onto the floor in a moment* Me 8:32 pm *Oh, Laserbeak wants his attention. Will very politely keep his hands to himself. Don't need an outraged bird.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:32 pm [[...Is there something he should know.]] Me 8:33 pm ... *stares at the new Soundwave in the door. And then at the one he's been leaning on.* Twincast 8:33 pm Ya got a twin. Bevel 8:33 pm *Ah there we go, enjoy the floor Prowl as Bevel leaps up and shoves him away* Sorry! Swoop 8:33 pm ((happy birthday to the GROUND)) Magnum Ace 8:33 pm -trots through, and...- What just...? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:33 pm ((JFC HAHAHA)) Me 8:33 pm *For the briefest second, Prowl had hoped against hope that the one by the stairs had been Bevel.* Bevel 8:33 pm *totally her usual voice not Soundwave's* Bull 8:34 pm *follows after Magnum* Me 8:34 pm *He's going to. Just. Lay on the floor.* Magnum Ace 8:34 pm -please don't walk into his back, because he stalled- Swoop 8:34 pm *doesn't know what's happening, is unclear if it is funny therefore it is not funny, chirps to himself because biiiiirrrddd come oooonnnn* Twincast 8:34 pm *thinks it's a little funny* Bull 8:35 pm *stopped noticing Magnum's pause and looks to see what caused the other Leaguer to stop* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:35 pm *Soundwave points at Bevel like the Grim Reaper calling on a dead mech. They're having words tomorrow about this.*

*He then heads over to the couch and calmly sits on the floor next to his poor mortified amica. Like you do.*

[[Greetings, everyone. From your actual host, this time. If we're ready?]] Me 8:35 pm *Right. Okay. He's gonna, twist his head a bit until he can see Bevel. And then points sternly at her.* You. Forget EVERYTHING you heard. Bevel 8:35 pm OK Twincast 8:35 pm Ready--how 'bout you? Didja do the homework first? Swoop 8:35 pm !!! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:36 pm *Bird heads over to Swoop and settles herself by him with grumbles.*

{{You show Bird them stickers.}} Magnum Ace 8:36 pm -grabs Bull and tugs him AWAY from the mess- Bevel 8:36 pm Sorry! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:36 pm [[What homework?]] Swoop 8:36 pm *flips through the shitton of stickers he has with him..... he has a thing* Bird, kehhehhe! *holds up the one sheet of pokemon stickers, tapping a claw over Ditto and jerking his head at Bevel* Us stickers? Kehehh. For people. ON. Keheh. ON people. Twincast 8:37 pm Reading the book first, of course. Don't tell me I'm the only one. Specs 8:37 pm ((are we allowed to speak, oh mighty soundmun)) ((...heck u rabbit)) *the dragon tumbles in, managing to somehow fall tail-over-snout without dropping a single cookie. these have fancy shapes today! plain energon pangolins, mercury-infused elephants, silver bears, molybdenum and copper kingfishers, and tigers with tinsel stripes. there’s also what might be crocodiles, but crocodiles lack curved horns and such impressive wings, not to mention the elegantly spiked tail.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:37 pm ((oh gosh yes i thought that was evident with everyone speaking lmao)) Bull 8:37 pm *is more than glad that Magnum did not tug on his sore side; he still had one of their pain patches over the injury* Specs 8:37 pm ((rabbit didn't show ANYONE speaking for me ;-; )) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:38 pm ((ALRIGHT WARNINGS SO WE CAN GET THIS DELAYED-ASS SHOW ON THE ROA😧 it's the phantom of the opera if you don't know the story i don't know what i can do for you here. horrible man in mask does horrible things, murder, blackmail, etc.)) Magnum Ace 8:38 pm -he's not in that much of a rush that he'd forget Bull got attacked last week- ItsyBitsySpyers 8:38 pm ((...rabbit, can you not smileyface my words.)) Swoop 8:38 pm ((show on the roa 😀 )) Bevel 8:38 pm *so flustered she mucks up shifting into one of her own usual shapes that she winds up looking a little like Soundwave and Optimus had a kid before cursing and shifting correctly* Swoop 8:39 pm Stickers, Bird : > Bevel 8:39 pm *will quietly slunk over to a table* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:39 pm *Bird drags Swoop and all his stickers over to the dragon while listening; Soundwave shakes his helm.*

[[He was busy. He will find the time to do so soon.]] Swoop 8:40 pm *is helplessly dragged* <3 Twincast 8:40 pm I'll hold you to that. *probably won't. In a good mood, so he's teasing* Specs 8:40 pm *the dragon WAS going to put these with the rest of the snacks, but okay bird* Do you just want the entire tray? Swoop 8:40 pm *although not so helplessly manages to peel off the Ditto sticker and smack it onto Bevel in passing* Her Bird ALWAYS want entire tray Kehhehh ItsyBitsySpyers 8:40 pm [[He'd prefer you didn't hold him at all.]] Glowers at Twincast for a moment before motioning to the screen. [[He has heard there is a proper movie as well, but he thought it would be interesting to choose this version. Do all settle down. We begin.]] Swoop 8:41 pm Her eat like Dinobots do Magnum Ace 8:41 pm -up the table he goes, helping Bull up as well- Bevel 8:41 pm Thanks, Swoop. Swoop 8:41 pm *finger guns @Bevel* Specs 8:41 pm *the dragon just hands over the tray. resistance is futile. she's going to join Soundwave's couch tonight, though. there's space on the back, right?* Twincast 8:41 pm *mumbles something along the lines of 'y'know I didn't mean it like that', but quiets down* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:41 pm ((i suggest turning on the HD in rabbit)) Bevel 8:41 pm *will try to enjoy that sticker until her untimely doom at Soundwave's hands tomorrow* Bull 8:42 pm Thanks *he smiles to Magnum before settling in* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:42 pm *There is space all over that couch. Soundwave and Prowl are on the floor.*

{{It baseball bots! Hiiiii. You got stickers too?}} Swoop 8:43 pm Me Swoop have LOTS of stickers. Me TAKE them. All stickers. *fans them out to show the unreal number of stickers in his possession* Bull 8:43 pm Stickers? Twincast 8:43 pm ((brb Magnum Ace 8:43 pm Uh...? No? Specs 8:43 pm *the dragon sprawls ALL ACROSS the entire couch. her couch now* Me 8:44 pm *Prowl appreciates the solidarity. He finally sits up.* Swoop 8:44 pm *flips through to find stickers for Bird.... what does Bird like........* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:44 pm *Bird likes birds. Duh.* *Soundwave loops a feeler on the ground around Prowl once he sits up. Greetings.* Swoop 8:45 pm *peels off a mustache sticker and holds it out for Bird* : > ItsyBitsySpyers 8:45 pm {{Why you not got stickers? Them not go on helmet?}} She's seen pictures of human players like that. {{Ooooh, face fur. Neheh.}}

Boop. On goes the stache. Me 8:45 pm *gives the feeler, and then Soundwave a suspicious look* Swoop 8:45 pm *how? is? bird? so?? cute???????* *he doESn'T UNderSTanD????* <3 <3 <3 <3 Magnum Ace 8:46 pm ...oh, you mean the decals? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:46 pm {{Yes!}} Swoop 8:46 pm Them for decorate, Christmas! Presents. And stuff. Me Swoop take. Specs 8:46 pm Now that's a fancy bed. Me 8:46 pm ... Confirm your identity. Bull 8:47 pm Well yeah, we have decals. Magnum Ace 8:47 pm -taps the Silver Castle decal on his cap- This, right? Swoop 8:48 pm ((A+ costumes already)) Specs 8:48 pm ...Is she going to eat it, or just sing at it? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:49 pm @Prowl: [[He is an ex-Senator, ex-prisoner, ex-gladiator, and ex-Decepticon. You are his One. And he is regrowing a fang he broke in your avatar.]] Me 8:49 pm ((how do you think andrew lloyd webber feels, having to live with the knowledge that nothing he ever does will be as great as the overture to POTO)) @Soundwave «... Can I have it?» Swoop 8:49 pm *finds a spot to settle with Bird and spreads all the stickers out in front of himself* Bevel 8:49 pm ((bad i hope ItsyBitsySpyers 8:50 pm @Prowl: [[He will leave it at the site tonight.]] Twincast 8:51 pm ((I return. with ice cream & such Me 8:51 pm @Soundwave «You know my seat in the break trailer.» Bull 8:51 pm ((mmm, ice cream *is now tempted to retrieve some mint chocolate icecream *)) Specs 8:51 pm *if you look at the couch, the dragon might be attempting to mimic the dancers. if you look too closely, she's going to stop, though.* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:51 pm *Soundwave's may be speaking to Prowl, but his attention is firmly fixed on the production in front of him. Look at these costumes. Look at the way they move together. If organics have one thing going for them, it's their grace.* *Soundwave glances over at the couch with a feeler, hearing movement behind him.* Swoop 8:52 pm *offers Bird a "I kept a secret" sticker and a holo star with "GOOD WORK!" written on it* Magnum Ace 8:52 pm It's no wonder they continue this, they're good at it Specs 8:53 pm *the feeler doesn't count as too close, but the dragon whacks her nose on the couch trying to mimic the final drop* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:53 pm {{What them decal mean?}} She tucks the other stickers into her subspace. These will be fun to put on later. Magnum Ace 8:53 pm I think...well maybe Windy could pull some of this off, but I know I' break something trying. Swoop 8:53 pm Meeeeeeeeaaan good work kehheheh ((who is in sticker smacking distance of swoop)) Bull 8:54 pm This one *pointing at the Silver Castle's logo* is our team symbol Swoop 8:54 pm *notices the pointing and peels the sticker off for Bull, he has no idea what it is so he is down to give it away* Bevel 8:54 pm I like her dress. Bull 8:55 pm *this show is reminding him of a show Rumi mentioned having seen before* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:55 pm {{Oooh. It faction.}} Magnum Ace 8:55 pm Faction? Not...really? Swoop 8:55 pm Bot, con, fighting, faction! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:55 pm [[It is definitely colorf-- oh?]] Magnum Ace 8:55 pm No Not at all Bull 8:56 pm *looks to Swoop and the offered sticker trying to see what it is* Swoop 8:56 pm *BOOP now you have a sticker* Bull 8:56 pm *is surprised at the boop of the sticker* Thanks? Swoop 8:57 pm ((man i must be a proper southern gal cause, when we saw the back of her head and how tall her hair is, all I could think is "oh she's close to god") Magnum Ace 8:57 pm -covers mouth at the sticker boop- Swoop 8:57 pm Welcome : > Bull 8:57 pm *looks to see what the sticker is* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:57 pm {{What ghost want with box?}} Magnum Ace 8:58 pm -may be snickering a bit- Twincast 8:58 pm ((I love how in the 2000's movie he says Australia instead of Frankfurt & I'm like 'isn't australia basically a jail at this point?' Swoop 8:58 pm Sit Kehhhehh *sticks a bunch of stickers to the interior of his wing, no real plan here, just going after all the ones that are gold or sparkly* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:58 pm *Soundwave nods to the two new guests. Or sort of... at them. Without looking. The film holds his attention.* Specs 8:59 pm ((probably better jail than a ghost)) Twincast 8:59 pm ((fair Specs 8:59 pm ((or maybe he had to sell the opera house for being in trouble?)) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:59 pm @Prowl: [[Now he knows, yes.]] Had to ask Frenzy. Whirl 8:59 pm *trots in, fashionably late. But this night he comes bearing gifts. There is a hilariously human-sized shopping bag dangling off one claw* Swoop 8:59 pm *waves at whirl* Stickers! Me 9:00 pm *Okay. Prowl trusts him again. He leans on Soundwave.* Specs 9:00 pm *the dragon clambers up onto the back of the couch to look at whirl* What's that? Knock Out 9:00 pm *Knock Out will offer a polite little wave, but really, his attention's equally drawn towards the movie. This one's a favorite of his*. Swoop 9:00 pm *holds up a bomb sticker, waves it at Whirl* Whirl 9:00 pm *bobs his head at Swoop, and then the dragon, and then just generally, for everyone else* This... is payment. One sec, you guys. Bevel 9:01 pm *waves to Whirl* Magnum Ace 9:01 pm -inches away from sticker happy dino- ItsyBitsySpyers 9:01 pm *Soundwave returns the lean and tightens the feeler a bit, budging it up against the avatar's legs.*

=Payment?= Whirl 9:01 pm *he's gonna drop the bag of at the bar. It's a red-and-green shopping bag, and within it is, indeed, the illicit tinsel-ey goods* Yep. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:02 pm *Ravage pokes his helm in from outside. He's pretty sure he can smell - ohhhh yes.* Me 9:02 pm @Soundwave «... I apologize for falling asleep after one round.» *it's easier the second time.* Whirl 9:03 pm Raided a department store in my holoform. I cleaned 'em out. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:03 pm @Prowl: [[It is--]] Listen to the human go. The sound makes his armor buzz. [[It is fine. Limits are limits. We will continue another time.]]

=They did not chase?= Swoop 9:04 pm Her mean, kehheh, like Ironhide when us goof off kehhehh. Whirl 9:04 pm Nah. I just pretended to be following someone else's mom out. ...either that or the Uzis deterred them from asking questions. Swoop 9:04 pm *absolutely definately for sure has spiderman stickers in the massive mess of stickers spread out on the ground in front of him JUST IN CASE SOMEONE WAS INTO THAT* Whirl 9:04 pm I choose to believe *drapes a claw over his chest* That it was an act of masterful deception. The benefits of having a very young holoform. Specs 9:05 pm *plops back on the couch and mimics the ballet girls' arms with her wings* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:05 pm *Ravage's mouth pulls back into a horrible toothy smile. A human child with massive weapons strolling into one of their vending centers... ah, he would have liked to see the confusion and terror himself.*

*For now, he just tries to get a paw into the bag.* Whirl 9:06 pm *there's a good dozen or so packages in there* Swoop 9:06 pm *sticks a baby on board sticker on the dragon* Specs 9:06 pm *jumps three feet in the air and yelps* Hey! ItsyBitsySpyers 9:06 pm [[You amuse him, dragon. Dance more, if you wish. Here and elsewhere. Do not let others convince you to stop.]] Swoop 9:07 pm kehehHHEHHEH ItsyBitsySpyers 9:07 pm *INTO THE BAG goes Ravage. Which basically means he gets it on his helm and shakes it, breathing in the scent of the tinsel packs falling out around him.* Whirl 9:08 pm *snickers* There ya go, bartender. Oughta settle my tab. *salutes* Bull 9:08 pm *he can imagine Ruri liking this musical* Me 9:08 pm ((i like how raoul's just as extra as the phantom)) Specs 9:08 pm *forgive her for not appreciating the compliment, Soundwave. she's got a STICKER on her* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:08 pm *Muffled.* =For weeks, yes.= Me 9:09 pm ((he doesn't introduce himself in the letter he sends christine, he just enigmatically describes some things they did together)) Whirl 9:09 pm I can go looking for more, if you want. Easy to find that stuff this time of year. Swoop 9:09 pm ((calm the fuck down phantom)) Whirl 9:09 pm ((HE REALLY IS)) Bull 9:09 pm *Bull already doesn't like how the Phantom is talking* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:10 pm *Flopped and kicking the bag. Shred shred. He'll regret this later, he will.* =All you can carry. You will be pouring drinks yourself, mm?= Swoop 9:10 pm *has no idea what is going on in the movie but he does know that this happy taco sticker is pretty sweet and starts looking around for someone to slap it on* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:11 pm [[A secret passage?]] Magnum Ace 9:11 pm -oh, don't look at him you silly dino- Bevel 9:11 pm Cool. Swoop 9:11 pm *is looking* : > Twincast 9:11 pm *is happy to be stickered. plenty'a surface space* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:11 pm *Bird pretends to play along with the music on Swoop's shin. Such dramatics. It must be the mustache.8 Whirl 9:11 pm I'll grab some later. Have fun. *he actually means it, because seeing Ravage so absolutely blissful is actually pretty nice. A good favor for a good bartender. And now, he will at last go to the Whirl table to join his regulars* Specs 9:11 pm *nope nope nope* *hides from the dinobab and starts biting at the sticker already on her* Magnum Ace 9:11 pm -stares back- Tarantulas 9:12 pm *tarantulas couldn't care less what movie is on, he's just going to stalk in and poke around* Whirl 9:12 pm ...want me to get that, dragon? Specs 9:12 pm *flies so fast to whirl that she all but teleports* Yes. Please. Swoop 9:12 pm *normally would DIE before giving up on a staring contest but Bird is tapping on his shin a lot, that merits a confused chirp and turnign his head to investigate* Me 9:12 pm ((damn i haven't heard this phantom before. i like him, his voice is powerful.)) Swoop 9:12 pm !!! SPIDER! ItsyBitsySpyers 9:12 pm ((he is A Favorite)) Magnum Ace 9:13 pm -oh good, he was getting worried there- Swoop 9:13 pm *paws through the many stickers he brought today and finds the Spiderman ones* : > Tarantulas 9:13 pm *frick. swoop. this wasn't really the person tarantulas was looking to take his irritation out on* Bevel 9:13 pm ((I love this performance so much Swoop 9:13 pm *waves the sheet of stickers at Tarantulas* Whirl 9:13 pm *he raises his claw, and the tip splits open to reveal two very delicate fine manipulators. They're horrid, but he expertly plucks the sticker up with no incident* ((IT'S REAL GOOD)) Swoop 9:13 pm Look! Whirl 9:13 pm ((I've never seen a stage show of Phantom!)) Magnum Ace 9:13 pm ((it's awesome Swoop 9:13 pm ((I've seen it before. It's so incredible in person. SO much energy.)) Me 9:13 pm ((I'm liking the Christine, too. most Christines I've heard are TOO good at hitting those high notes and hurt my ears.)) Tarantulas 9:14 pm What is that? Decals? *heavy squinting, he's keeping away* Specs 9:14 pm *some fur comes away with that as a matter of course. it's enough to hurt and make the dragon hiss, but at least it's not causing a bald spot* Thank you, Whirl. *grooms the spot to get rid of any sticker residue* Swoop 9:14 pm Stiiiiickers : > *continues waving them at Tara* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:14 pm *Soundwave leans forward. And forward. And forward.* Me 9:14 pm *Hey, it's a spider voice. Looks over at him and pings hello.* Me 9:15 pm *... a guy in a mask singing about people paying homage to music. sideways glance at Soundwave.* Whirl 9:16 pm No prob. *he's been listening to the very very good singing this whole time, but is only now getting caught up... and has no idea what's going on. But that seems to be all right* Tarantulas 9:16 pm *glances over at prowl with a return ping, but is mostly fixed on suspicious swoop* Swoop 9:16 pm ((OKAY SO I've never got a clear answer on this. Do Christine and the Phantom bang? Whenever I ask, I get these long answers about sequels and debatable canon and whatnot. Has it ever been confirmed one way or the other?)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:16 pm *And slumps slightly. He must find more versions of this. Must hear all the actors.*

*...Glance over?* Swoop 9:16 pm *chirps at Tara* Me 9:16 pm ((I don't know about the sequels. In both musical and book canon, there's no evidence they bang.)) Swoop 9:16 pm *he's got a bunch of completely random stickers all over him and so do a lot of otehr people* *Bird has a mustache* Twincast 9:17 pm ((we don't talk about the sequel Bevel 9:17 pm ((Never confirmed far as I know. Specs 9:17 pm *the dragon shakes, and flops onto the Whirl Table* *she'd go back to the couch, but the threat of stickers is Bad* Swoop 9:17 pm You Spiderbot have sticker! Tarantulas 9:17 pm Nnnnno, no thank you. Swoop 9:17 pm No? Me 9:17 pm ((There are certainly opportunities during the musical where they might have banged off-screen if you choose to read it that way—but no evidence; and improbable considering the phantom's later behavior.)) Swoop 9:17 pm *BAFFLED* Whirl 9:17 pm *lowers his head towards the dragon* ...what's with the stickers, anyway? Swoop 9:17 pm *who DOESN'T want stickers?* Specs 9:18 pm *aside to Whirl* Swoop has stickers. Swoop is sharing stickers. I am considering making a tray of goodies just for Laserbeak if she keeps him away from my fur. Whirl 9:18 pm Pfft. Got it. Tarantulas 9:18 pm Definitely not, Swoop. Don't test me. Swoop 9:19 pm ((There are def opportunities for them to bang. I haven't read the sequel but I think there's something in there that makes it sound like they did? But you're right that it doesn't seem like the phantom would want to.)) Whirl 9:19 pm Also, whoever this fella is, he's killing it. Swoop 9:19 pm Why??? Me 9:19 pm ... This is a musical about music. Whirl 9:19 pm ((ye i never thought of the phantom as being interested in that sort of thing)) Specs 9:19 pm He is! *goes back to watching raptly* I've never seen a human musical before. I feel like I stuck my face into a swarmfish nest.

I just figure that given he completely emotionally flips out over a cheek-touch, they probably weren't doing something earlier that required MORE physical contact, yknow?)) Swoop 9:21 pm ((totally)) Bevel 9:21 pm ((I swear it's in the books that he's a eunuch or otherwise deformed in such a way that he couldn't even if he wanted to but it's been two decades since I've read it so don't quote me on that Me 9:21 pm I suppose not, no. Specs 9:21 pm ((well, isn't his cheek burned? pain spots tend to be super twitchy when you touch them. but, then again, he's entirely a pain spot, isn't he.)) Swoop 9:21 pm ((you know what? that sounds familiar. Maybe you're right and he can't.)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:22 pm *It finally registers that there is another new mech in here. Soundwave glances behind himself just long enough to nod to Tarantulas before whipping back to the screen.* Whirl 9:22 pm Whoa. Fool canNOT play an organ, though. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:22 pm {{Peh. Dramatic.}} {{BRRM BRRM BRRRRRRM.}} Bevel 9:23 pm *grumbles about the loud bad organ playing* Specs 9:23 pm Was he playing it, or just smacking it? Swoop 9:23 pm *jumps when Bird makes a loud BRRRRMMM* Twincast 9:23 pm ((..you made me look up what a eunuch was. I learned something today.) Swoop 9:23 pm *immediately CACKLES at his own reaction* Whirl 9:23 pm *raises his head and instantly imitates the BRRM BRRM BRRRRRM* Tarantulas 9:23 pm ...I couldn't care less what sort of stickers they are, I'm not having it. If you want me to ever consider making you a web sling again, you're going to keep them to yourself for the rest of the night. Bull 9:23 pm Seemed like just banging on it. Me 9:23 pm ((I'm pppretty sure that eunuchs can have sex; they just can't produce babies from it and therefore If It Doesn't Make Babies Doesn't Count. But tbh who knows if leroux knew that or not.)) Bull 9:24 pm *yet he doesn't know music* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm *Soundwave flickers his feelers at Whirl and Laserbeak. Shh.* Swoop 9:24 pm You grumpy spider Magnum Ace 9:24 pm .... Bull 9:24 pm *little surprised* over reaction.... Specs 9:24 pm *eyes widen* Hm. Tarantulas 9:25 pm @SW: ::Can you let Laserbeak know that I'll owe her immensely if she agrees to continue keeping Swoop occupied for the rest of the evening.:: Magnum Ace 9:25 pm That was over doing it Whirl 9:25 pm *Whirl subsides, and pays a bit closer attention* Bevel 9:25 pm She should have asked. Swoop 9:25 pm Grumpy, grouchy! *blows raspberries then laughs* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:25 pm @Tarantulas: [[She has been told.]] More because they'll want the favor than because he's interested in what's going on behind him right now. Specs 9:25 pm *tilts head* It's not THAT bad. Humans have naked faces anyways. Whirl 9:25 pm *he can... empathize with being very protective of your face. And with the baggage that comes with mutilation* Me 9:26 pm *... a conventionally-considered ugly face under the mask of the person who's extremely into music. Another sideways glance at Soundwave.* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:26 pm {{Swoop. Swoop, you find Rumble sticker. Frenzy sticker.}} Swoop 9:26 pm *perks up at the request* KAY! Tarantulas 9:26 pm *waves a paw at swoop's alliteration. meh* Specs 9:26 pm *Whirl's face isn't that bad either, but the dragon is not a telepath and cannot say such things* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:26 pm *Soundwave looks back at Prowl again.*

[[...Is he doing something?]] *Head tilt.* Me 9:27 pm No. Just observing parallels. Tarantulas 9:27 pm *plops down somewhere near but not too close to sw and prowl, his own chair or smth* Swoop 9:27 pm *slides his hand over all the stickers to spread them out more, in part to help and in part because he is a messy boy* Whirl 9:27 pm *the dragon is kind; Among his own kind, Whirl is Not A Looker. Doesn't bother him, though* Me 9:27 pm *nods to Tarantulas* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:27 pm [[Ah.]] *Consider consider.* [[He has been informed of them many times before. They will not all be matched.]] [[Greetings, Tarantulas.]] Me 9:28 pm ... I question his wisdom with the whole "fear turn to love" thing. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:28 pm [[And yes, gossip is worth that.]] Tarantulas 9:28 pm *huffs at the hellos and sinks in the chair. he doesn't want niceness right now, geez* Whirl 9:28 pm Yeah, seems... like a bad plan. Me 9:28 pm She snatched his mask off his face without warning or asking, and he considers her a keeper? Whirl 9:29 pm Sounds like SOMEONE can't deal with being ugly, pfft. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:29 pm [[One who cannot respect boundaries does not deserve what is behind them.]]

Pfffft. [[Ha.]] Specs 9:29 pm You don't touch people without asking. Tarantulas 9:29 pm (( "wrote.... written." my fave line Bevel 9:30 pm ((I love that line so much Whirl 9:30 pm Yeah, that whole deal, too. Me 9:30 pm ((same)) Whirl 9:30 pm Something tells me that our Phantom--*stage whisper* Might be a few instruments short of an orchestra. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:30 pm *Ravage snickers hoarsely through a tangle of tinsel.* Bevel 9:30 pm *giggles* Specs 9:30 pm *smiles toothily* Whirl 9:32 pm ((Madam Giry is also en pointe, that snatch was a+)) Magnum Ace 9:32 pm What... ItsyBitsySpyers 9:32 pm [[The Phantom pretends to be a ghost. He suspects they have not interacted with others much.]] [[Regarding his acceptance of one who steals his mask.]] Specs 9:33 pm It's hard to have a ghost that bother people. Bull 9:33 pm Sounds arrogant like Segal... Bevel 9:33 pm Obedient servant gives a lot of orders. Magnum Ace 9:33 pm With the mood swings to suit Whirl 9:34 pm *he will now take a moment to scoot over to the bar to mix himself something paint-meltingly spicy* Specs 9:34 pm *the dragon looks askance at all those fox tails, and back at her own tail* Humans and their furs. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:35 pm *...Laserbeak likes this red-furred human.* *Look how smoothly she has everyone bending to her whim and giving her what she wants.* Bevel 9:35 pm *likes her clothes* Swoop 9:35 pm ((gdi why do I always have internet problesm monday night??)) Whirl 9:35 pm *a true role model for u* Swoop 9:36 pm *picks a wonderwoman "fight like a girl" sticker and offers it to Bird* MMmmm.... *finally picks a sticker of a fist in the air, no clue what it means but Rumble and Frenzy like fighting* Ka! *looks expectantly at Bird* ((she SO close to god now)) Me 9:37 pm ((i like how they get all meta about their own musical for a second)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:37 pm *Bird lifts the sticker close to her optics and chatters in approval, pocketing that one too. She then taps the fist sticker.*

{{How them share one?}} Me 9:37 pm (("lmao you'd never get away with this story in a play BUT IN AN OPERA IT'S ALL GOOD")) Whirl 9:37 pm Her giant hair will surely protect her. Magnum Ace 9:38 pm -nudges Bull- Specs 9:38 pm *that gets a snicker from the dragon* I'm almost jealous of its volume. Bull 9:38 pm *looks to Magnum* Magnum Ace 9:38 pm Glad we didn't have to try and sing like that Swoop 9:38 pm *snickers* rock paper scissors Whirl 9:38 pm *leans over the bar to peer at the dragon* You know, we could get you a wig. I think you could make it work. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:38 pm *Soundwave shakes his helm. It is unwise to irritate someone with the reputation of strangling others.* Bull 9:38 pm *Bull shudders at the memory* Thankfully; it was embarrassing enough. Specs 9:39 pm *the dragon grins* Of course I could. I have the fur everywhere else, too. Swoop 9:39 pm *sticks a few small, sparkly star stickers to his own cheek* Whirl 9:40 pm *returns to his table and begins the Hunkering Process. anyone with a functioning nose might wanna give him and his drink a bit of space* Magnum Ace 9:40 pm -soft snicker- It was. It was a bit fun though. Bull 9:40 pm I think the only reason why we didn't have to was cause Edmond got dragged in with us. *chuckles* Whirl 9:41 pm *solemnly* Praise. Magnum Ace 9:41 pm It would have been interesting to hear him try to sing like that, though ItsyBitsySpyers 9:41 pm *HUFF* Swoop 9:41 pm *perks up and finally looks at the screen* *this is his level of comedy, cracks up immediately* Bull 9:42 pm That would have been funny. Specs 9:42 pm *blinks* The phantom is rather unpleasant. *ooh, she can do that! curves her wings up and balances on her toes* Whirl 9:43 pm Okay, so... does he actually have magic powers? Swoop 9:43 pm Her funny noises Whirl 9:43 pm Did he make that lady croak? Or are we gonna get an explanation? Specs 9:43 pm *sorry, too busy trying to mimic ballerinas* Whirl 9:43 pm ...*and distracted by ballet dragon* Nice. *he will scoot his drink away to give her room* Magnum Ace 9:44 pm It would have been, but he /really/ would have looked for a way to duck out then Whirl 9:44 pm They're all pretty good. Times like these, it's a damn shame I never learned to dance. *shakes head slowly* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:44 pm *Wonders what Prowl's math makes of the ballerina movements. He starts composing the question when--* Bull 9:44 pm ..... *was not expecting that* Swoop 9:44 pm Dead Bevel 9:44 pm ((the best part of seeing this for the first time in a theatre is that you legit are watching the ballet and don't actually realized anything is happening until the body falls down Specs 9:44 pm *aaaaand there she goes on her snout again* Oof. Tarantulas 9:44 pm *quiet snort* Magnum Ace 9:45 pm ..... -well, there goes that mood- Me 9:46 pm "A world where daylight dissolves into darkness"? Just say the basement. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:46 pm *EVEN LOUDER HUFF* Bevel 9:46 pm *laughs* Whirl 9:46 pm *snorts* Twincast 9:46 pm *Raoul's pretty good at NOT listening to Christine, honestly* Swoop 9:46 pm .... *peels off a web sticker, Birb should know where this is going* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:46 pm [[She is an actress. They are dramatic.]] *Bird knows. Bird grabs the web sticker and EATS IT.* Me 9:46 pm *shrug. fair enough.* Specs 9:46 pm *ex-ballet dragon just watches while mimicking a placemat. it's too interesting to risk unflattening herself and missing something.* Swoop 9:47 pm !!!! Tarantulas 9:47 pm *good laserbeak* Swoop 9:47 pm *SQUEAK-laughs* Magnum Ace 9:47 pm Anyway. Definitely like Segal. Windchill 9:47 pm *Is here.* Swoop 9:47 pm *what was that?? he doesn't know but he's going to actually flop over laughing* Bull 9:47 pm yeah.... murderous intent and all Whirl 9:47 pm *bobs his head at Windchill over his drink* Windchill 9:47 pm *He knows this one.* Swoop 9:47 pm Hungry bird? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:48 pm [[Murderous intent? Who is Segal?]] Windchill 9:48 pm *Waves at Whirl. Hello.* Magnum Ace 9:48 pm Yeah. Attempted murder and all. What? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:48 pm {{Yes. You get snacks. Then Bird not eating stickers.}} Windchill 9:48 pm *He's gonna sit down.* Magnum Ace 9:48 pm -forgot Soundwave could hear them- Swoop 9:48 pm Now Bird tank happy stickers kehhehhh Specs 9:48 pm *okay, the humans are hugging. NOW she can unflatten herself* Windchill 9:49 pm I can't believe you guys tried to watch this without me. Swoop 9:49 pm *looks around for where the treats went and then gets to work stealing that too* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:49 pm @Prowl: [[He has never interrupted an opera with a carcass. If you were wondering about other parallels.]] Whirl 9:49 pm You a fan of this one? Bull 9:49 pm *Bull looks to Soundwave but then looks to Magnum to see if they should explain anything to the mech* Tarantulas 9:49 pm *would definitely interrupt an opera with a carcass, ftr* Windchill 9:49 pm Unfortunately. Me 9:49 pm @Soundwave «I get the impression that, if it were bad enough, you might.» Specs 9:49 pm ((god forbid soundwave interrupt a music)) Windchill 9:49 pm Don't worry, I won't ruin it by singing along. Whirl 9:49 pm *snickers* Magnum Ace 9:49 pm -if Soundwave's distracted then NOPE- Specs 9:49 pm *peeks over at Windchill* Are they all like this? Windchill 9:50 pm All of what like what? ItsyBitsySpyers 9:50 pm *Perhaps Tarantulas should take up mask-wearing. They're terribly comfortable. He's sure everyone will be wearing them in the future.* Specs 9:50 pm Singing, dancing, random corpses? Windchill 9:50 pm Hell yeah. And drama, don't forget that. Bevel 9:50 pm *didn't interrupt an opera but a body was involved* Specs 9:50 pm Nice. Tarantulas 9:50 pm *tarantulas ditched his mask a long time ago, masks are so pre-war* Windchill 9:50 pm This one has—well, I won't spoil anything. Whirl 9:51 pm *snickers again, and magnanimously gestures for Windchill to join the Whirl Table* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:51 pm *Soundwave is distracted, but he won't forget that question. It'll come back some day to bite the Leaguers.* Swoop 9:51 pm *comes back with the proportionally largest treats available and gets back on the sticker-covered floor with Bird* Windchill 9:51 pm *He will gladly move to the Whirl Table.* Me 9:51 pm @Soundwave «... And would I be wrong to say that there were points in your life where, if you had taken an interest in an opera house, you'd be willing to use blackmail and threats to ensure it was run up to your standards?» Swoop 9:51 pm *doesn't have any problem putting goodies on top of stickers, quality control is not a very dinobot thing* Magnum Ace 9:51 pm -well crap- ItsyBitsySpyers 9:52 pm *...He can't look at Prowl now. To be honest, he owns a club and he uses blackmail and threats to keep it running. An opera is just a change of style.* Bull 9:52 pm *If Magnum says nothing, neither is Bull* Specs 9:52 pm ((does that make karaoke nights opera?)) ItsyBitsySpyers 9:52 pm *LASERBEAK will eat the goodies, stickers and all.* Swoop 9:53 pm ((oh will he?))

Swoop 9:54 pm <3 Me 9:54 pm ((really? because i remember soundwave very recently eating his chest sticker and all)) Specs 9:54 pm *the dragon thought that Whirl was Windchill's boyfriend, but will avoid commenting* Whirl 9:54 pm *EVERYONE DOES* Windchill 9:54 pm I enjoy a certain amount of predictability.

Windchill 9:55 pm *He's sitting down, but Swoop is more than welcome to sticker him.* Magnum Ace 9:55 pm He had the mask part down, though Whirl 9:55 pm *Whirl actually DOES have a significant other, presently, but everyone always assumes it's Windchill* Me 9:55 pm ((his angry little RRGH at the end)) Whirl 9:56 pm Hot damn!

You just need a cool cape. Windchill 11:12 pm I don't even get any singing parts! ... It's for the best. Whirl 11:12 pm No, no capes. I'm firmly anti-cape. Bevel 11:12 pm *giggles* Whirl 11:12 pm But I have been told I've got a half-decent voice, so I can do the singing. Someone else'll have to wear the cape. Magnum Ace 11:12 pm Think we should see about showing this to Owner? Specs 11:12 pm I call cape. Tarantulas 11:12 pm (( 💔 that note kills me Windchill 11:12 pm Man, we need to see Sara cover this song. It was written for her anyway. Bull 11:13 pm I think she would like it alot. Magnum Ace 11:14 pm Yeah. The singing is nice Whirl 11:14 pm Oh NO. Now we need a fifth. Me 11:14 pm ((i think there's a flaw with this all-sing-together concept)) Whirl 11:14 pm Looks like I was right all along, and I was psychically counting. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm ((what's the flaw)) Whirl 11:15 pm ((the Phantoms are forming a combiner)) Me 11:15 pm ((they all learned how to sing as solo phantoms, so they're all trying to be the standout voice.)) ((they didn't spend years practicing to sing it as a harmonious quartet/quintet)) Bull 11:15 pm ((They are merging their powers together!)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:15 pm ((ahhhh yes)) Specs 11:15 pm ((they're not combiners until someone's standing on someone else's shoulders)) Whirl 11:16 pm Prowl, how good are you at stabbing? On a scale of one to ten. Me 11:16 pm About as good as I am at singing. Whirl 11:16 pm I've never heard you sing. Me 11:16 pm Well, there you go. Windchill 11:16 pm I'm sure it's fantastic. Whirl 11:16 pm ...well, we'll have to make due. You're number five. Congratulations, you're an angel of music now. Me 11:16 pm I decline. Specs 11:16 pm Soundwave could probably answer that, Whirl. 😛 ItsyBitsySpyers 11:17 pm *Wants SO MUCH to ask him to do so but has had plenty of comparisons tonight as it is.* Whirl 11:17 pm Damn. Well, we'll just have to do double-stabbing duty. Windchill 11:17 pm (( the streamers look like yaoi cum sorry guys. )) Twincast 11:17 pm ((rip the person who has to clean up the confetti)) Specs 11:17 pm ((WINDCHILL NO)) Bevel 11:17 pm *can sing by virtue of being able to sound however she wants* Magnum Ace 11:17 pm ((WOW Twincast 11:17 pm ((RIP x2)) Windchill 11:17 pm (( Ur welcome. )) Whirl 11:18 pm *streetches* Windchill 11:18 pm *Chants "chandelier" now.* Me 11:18 pm *He prefers the real Christine's solution, anyway. Unexpected. ... Kind of touching.* Specs 11:18 pm *stretches* I should head out. Next week? Whirl 11:18 pm All right. That was... hoenstly I liked it more'n I thought I would. So, good on you, Soundwave. Windchill 11:19 pm *Frowns.* *Well, he was having fun.* Twincast 11:19 pm ((good ol' Tom Lehrer)) ItsyBitsySpyers 11:19 pm *Soundwave bobs his helm.*

[[He does have passable tastes, you know.]] Windchill 11:19 pm Is this...more math jokes? Whirl 11:19 pm Yeah, looks like it. Windchill 11:19 pm Gross! Whirl 11:20 pm *you get a sympathy pat* Me 11:20 pm *oh, math humor! he's ready* Windchill 11:20 pm *Back to chanting, it's the only way he's gonna survive.* Bevel 11:20 pm ....... Whirl 11:20 pm See you guys. *stands and bobs his head* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:20 pm [[Goodnight, Whirl. He hopes you'll enjoy others.]] Windchill 11:20 pm Bye, Christine number whatever you are. Bevel 11:21 pm Bye, Whirl! Whirl 11:21 pm We'll SEE about all THAT. *points at Soundwave* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:21 pm *Quietly nudges Prowl and holds up his hands. Missing two fingers.* Specs 11:21 pm *the dragon makes an offended huff at the screen* Whirl 11:21 pm *and then waves again and begins to leave, but stops* Oh, Shovel--I'll get back to you about that thing. Probably soon. Me 11:21 pm *watching in baffled wonder* Bevel 11:22 pm Ok. I can wait. Whirl 11:22 pm *haha, got you beat, missing EIGHT fingers* *finger-missing amateur* Bevel 11:22 pm *trying to follow this math video* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:22 pm *He bows before ... wait. Wouldn't that have been Whirl with 12 fingers?* Windchill 11:23 pm *Rests his massive chin in his hand.* Whirl 11:23 pm *wait. okay never mind. Whirl's player can't count, esp not under the weight of so much cold medicine* Me 11:23 pm *okay Prowl's getting the right answers in both base 10 and base 8 and he's getting it a lot faster than the singer but why are they moving digits around* Bevel 11:23 pm *didn't follow it at all and is lost because the answer was different at the end from what it was earlier* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:23 pm *It must be all the deedlies confusing Whirl.* Magnum Ace 11:23 pm -what just happened there?- Specs 11:23 pm ((in all fairness to prowl, I feel that problem)) Whirl 11:23 pm *the deedly boppers ARE confusing. And horrifying* Me 11:24 pm *... sudden dawning horrified realization* Bull 11:24 pm Not sure. Me 11:24 pm ... Bevel. Bevel 11:24 pm What? Magnum Ace 11:24 pm Anyway. I think it's time to go home Me 11:24 pm I think—I think this is pre-algebra. Bevel 11:24 pm .... Oh! Magnum Ace 11:24 pm Soundwave? Can we get a bridge home? Windchill 11:24 pm I can get away from them. That's my superpower. Bull 11:25 pm Yeah; I should really head down to the repair bay and get another sensor blocking patch. Me 11:25 pm *Oh, Prowl likes this song though. Most people don't admit those things are math.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:25 pm *Soundwave nods.*

[[You may. Next time, though, he would like to hear about Segal.]] Magnum Ace 11:25 pm And you should. I saw you limping this morning. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:25 pm [[It is in the usual place. Be safe. He has a reputation to keep.]] Bull 11:26 pm *chuckles nervously* That'll be a story for another time. Windchill 11:26 pm *Debates internally whether it's safe to pull out the blankie now that Whirl's not here to smell it.* Specs 11:26 pm *the dragon nods to Soundwave* Thank you for the movie! 😄 Magnum Ace 11:26 pm -strained grin- R-right...later. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:26 pm [[You are welcome, dragon.]] Bull 11:26 pm Night everyone. Magnum Ace 11:27 pm Good night! Windchill 11:27 pm *Waves.* *An ear flicks.* Oh. Bevel 11:27 pm *this better not be interface math* Magnum Ace 11:27 pm ((g'night! and thanks for the stream! ItsyBitsySpyers 11:28 pm *No, no. Prowl and Soundwave got that out the way already.* Me 11:28 pm *... for now* Windchill 11:28 pm *Snickers.* Bevel 11:28 pm *she has enough information about y'all* Me 11:28 pm *.... props his elbows on his knees and laces his hands in front of his mouth* @Soundwave «Are you trying to say something, by chance?» ItsyBitsySpyers 11:29 pm @Prowl: [[Not yet. Simply amusing himself.]] Bevel 11:29 pm *trying hard not to giggle* Me 11:30 pm @Soundwave «I see.» Windchill 11:30 pm *Just kind of nods in agreement with the topic.* *Stops.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:31 pm *You know what the best thing about having a visor is? The very best thing?*

*The best goddamn poker face.* Me 11:31 pm @Soundwave «............ Are you SURE?» Windchill 11:31 pm Blech. Me 11:31 pm *his shoulders are trembling* Bevel 11:31 pm *yep she's gone* Windchill 11:31 pm *Stands.* Bevel 11:32 pm *is this punishment for earlier?* Me 11:32 pm @Soundwave «Well, if you WANT me to whip, dismember, and stomp on you...» ItsyBitsySpyers 11:32 pm *He's not the slightest bit sorry. She can stand a little mortification for impersonating him.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:33 pm ((ARE YOU KIDDING ME)) Me 11:33 pm ((holy shit)) Bevel 11:33 pm ((ahaha ItsyBitsySpyers 11:34 pm ((it is a SIGN)) Windchill 11:34 pm You guys have fun. Me 11:34 pm *his shoulders are still shaking* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:34 pm *Soundwave nods to Windchill. That should be everyone then.* Bevel 11:35 pm *laughs* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:35 pm @Prowl: [[Not the latter two. But he's quite sure he didn't mean anything by it. Merely... encouraging some privacy.]] Bevel 11:36 pm I liked that one. Me 11:36 pm @Soundwave «I see. If you're certain.» ItsyBitsySpyers 11:37 pm @Prowl: [[Perhaps afterward.]] Windchill 11:37 pm *Leaves before he's exposed to anything else so blatantly INSENSITIVE.* Bevel 11:39 pm *...is alone with Prowl and Soundwave.* *gets up to leave before anyone else notices* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:39 pm *Success. It only took five songs.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:41 pm *Well. Everything else being what it is, Soundwave's going to stretch his arm in front of Prowl and slowly nudges it back. Flop, you.* Me 11:42 pm *... Prowl doesn't understand the purpose of the extremely slow backhand* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:42 pm *Tilts his head a couple of times toward the floor.* Me 11:42 pm *What? ... OH. Okay. Lays back.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:43 pm *Good. Prowl now has a Soundwave blanket. And the doors are locked.*

[[Now he means it.]] Me 11:44 pm *optics light up.* Ah. Well, if you say so. *wraps his arms over Soundwave's shoulders—and feels to see if there are any scratches left in the paint.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:48 pm *Not there. He needs to keep his armor in decent condition when flying.*

*Soundwave will form a little silhouette of himself on his visor and mark where to find one of the ones he left on his protometal, though. That gets covered. It's okay to leave them there.* Me 11:51 pm *studies it, and goes searching for the scratches* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:55 pm *Rumbles and stretches to make it easier.*

[[He enjoys having them. And more permanent marks.]] *Visor off. His optics are shut. This is a puddle of music-dazed spy.* [[Perhaps he will let you be creative some day.]] *Light tremble.* [[Not the castanets. He already lacks a nose.]] Me 11:57 pm Heh. Maracas, maybe? *Leans up to kiss his lacking nose.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:58 pm *Twitches slightly, not expecting that. Seems to be pleased though.*

[[He is fond of a good rhythm.]] Yesterday Me 11:59 pm I think I can handle that. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:00 am [[And a bridge?]] Me 12:02 am *wraps arms securely around Soundwave* I'll let you handle that. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:09 am [[So be it.]]

*Slides both arms under Prowl to further help keep him from falling, opens one beneath them, and drops them in the apartment for Things.* Me 12:10 am *Let the Things commence*
