General X - Chapter 1

I've decided to write a multi-chapter fic. This one follows on from my TAG Secret Santa fic, and is a crossover between Thunderbirds Are Go and Wallace and Gromit. There's a TOS Easter Egg coming later as you might have guessed from the title :-) I also posted the very first bit earlier this week.

There will be a bit more drama in this than my usual fluff, but it's suitable for all Thunderbirds Are Go/Wallace and Gromit levels of peril.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Massive thanks to @coco9728 who was my Secret Santa recipient and requested a crossover which got me writing this.

------------------

Virgil walked into the lounge to find everything was quiet. Gordon was relaxing on a sofa with a strange neon yellow drink in one hand and looking at a green toy that was still sealed in a box. Nobody else seemed to be around.

“Still buying junk from trash mines online Fish?” Virgil asked with an arched eyebrow.

“This is not junk! It's still in the box. These trousers were amazing, made by NASA. The toys were really popular in the 1990s, it's an antique.”

Virgil sighed, then prodded a couple of buttons on the remote and brought up his holographic call with Wallace and Gromit. It was evening on Tracy Island, so morning in the UK which made it a good time for a call.

“Hi Wallace. Hi Gromit, great to see you again. This is my brother Gordon” Virgil said, gesturing in Gordon's direction.

“Hi” Gordon replied, waving. Since one hand was occupied with the boxed toy and the other with the open neon drink, Gordon sensibly chose to wave the hand with the toy.

“So I thought …” Virgil trailed off as Gromit was anxiously getting Wallace's attention and pointing at something. It took both Virgil and Wallace some time to realise he was pointing at the toy Gordon had.

“Gordon, what is that?” Virgil asked.

“Oh so now you’re interested in Squid Shopping” Gordon said, putting down the drink and showcasing the boxed toy. “They’re Techno Trousers in amazing condition! Look!”

“Oh you keep those Techno Trousers right in their box Mr Tracy” Wallace replied. “Those things are more trouble than they’re worth!”

“I intend to” Gordon smiled. “They’re very collectable.”

Gromit was looking at Gordon incredulously.

“Anyway” Virgil said, changing the topic. He didn’t want to probe what Wallace or Gromit might have against the Techno Trousers, for fear that it was as bizarre as the moon rocket. “Wallace, you wanted help with the Autochef.”

“Ah yes” Wallace responded. “Never quite got that cooking robot working right, have we lad? We managed to have a whole automated bakery running at one point, but we've never got the Autochef to make a decent bolognese.”

Gromit looked doubtful at the word ‘automated’. Virgil suspected some of the alleged automation might have been Gromit himself working.

Gromit then looked over at a calendar on the wall, pointed at the door and waved to Wallace, then to Virgil and Gordon.

“Ah, heading off are you lad?” Gromit nodded. “Ah, cinema trip with Fluffles” Wallace said, reading the calendar. Gromit nodded and left the room. “He has a better social life than I do” Wallace said, leaning his chin on his hand and looking forlorn.

Virgil brought him back to the woes of the Autochef. Apparently the Autochef was an old invention, one Wallace had never quite perfected.

Virgil knew Brains would have the Autochef working in no time, since Max could already cook and far more besides, but this was something Virgil wanted to work on with Wallace. He was rather enjoying the new found friendship with the eccentric inventor.

The pair chatted through some adjustments and Wallace adjusted some settings but still the Autochef was struggling. Food seemed to be under or over done, though Gordon glanced up to suggest it was still more appetising than Grandma’s cooking.

Virgil agreed.

Suddenly Kayo leapt into the lounge, appearing from nowhere. “He’s moving! John are you there? John? We need tracking!”

John’s hologram appeared next to the scene in Wallace’s house in the middle of the lounge.

“John, we need to track … sorry Virgil, we need to terminate this for security. Wallace, I'm very sorry, another time.”

“That's OK, Ms.. . Er…”

“Kayo” Virgil finished. “We'll speak soon Wallace.”

“Excellent Virgil. It's just gone very dark you know, I'd better put some lights …”

Wallace's hologram and the scene in his house disappeared when Kayo pressed a button.

“OK, Kayo, who needs tracking?” John asked.

“The Hood John! He's launched from an abandoned quarry in Horton in Ribblesdale, England. I'm launching Shadow but I need you to track him.”

“Kayo, is this the point where Scott would tell you the Hood is the GDF's problem?” Gordon objected. “Nobody needs rescuing.”

“And I would point out to Scott that we stop the Hood before anybody needs rescuing. The GDF failed to keep him in prison” Kayo replied, before sitting in her launch seat and disappearing to begin her launch sequence.

John was watching the tracking display, moving some items round the holographic projection, which showed the Hood moving at speed.

"I don't think this is showing correctly. It looks like there's a bug in the system that's delaying his tracking.” John opened another holographic screen and started typing some code. “Kayo, does he know you're tracking him?”

“He's probably guessed. I thought it was too easy getting that tracking device on him even if it didn’t work underground. Thunderbird Shadow is go!” Kayo announced. Her hologram appeared next to John’s in the lounge.

Gordon and Virgil looked at each other. Neither knew Kayo had a tracking device on the Hood, though given the circumstances it had proven warranted. When Kayo said he’d been underground she had evidently meant literally, as he had been inside the disused quarry.

“Got it!” John announced. “OK Kayo, he's stopped moving. He’s moved approximately 50 miles from the quarry and he's hovering above a street in the town of Wigan. The coordinates are …”

“John, what's the name of the street he's hovering above?” Virgil interupted, speaking higher and quicker than usual.

“Do you know anybody in Wigan?” Gordon asked, looking confused.

“Just one, and he said it had suddenly gone dark,” Virgil answered.

Gordon’s eyes widened as he realised what Virgil meant, and John replied “He’s hovering above 62 West Wallaby Street.”

Virgil sighed. “Thunderbird 2 is go.”

Hello! Could I please get a cricket crew (those who are okay with x reader Ofc) with a reader who tends to spoil them to the point it’s almost concerning? :)

constantly tweeting "guys my bf is so cool he just bought me lunch" and "got a little present for mr tom simons..."

you completely spoil him and love and your money LMAO

he knows that gift giving is one of your love languages but JESUS CHRIST

like it's not even for a reason anymore, you just spoil him so much

like if he's eyeing something at the store, you might have to surprise him with it later

he feels so bad

"y/n/n, yknow I have my own money and you don't need to spoil me, right?"

you shrug and nod like yeah you know, but will you stop? nope

he appreciates it but like he's running out of space to put all the shit you get him

he genuinely has to sit you down to talk about it because he's worried it's just love bombing and you're slowly giving up on the love in the relationship and using things to replace your fallen love for him

you apologize a trillion times because that's definitely not what's happening, you just love spoiling him

but yeah new rules, you can only buy him 1 thing a week

because he's genuinely worried about your bank account

go pay your taxes

RANBOO

constantly shouting them out online like "congrats to ranboo cause u won boyfriend of the year, prize is bragging rights and me!!" and "ranboo solos"

gifting them any sort of plushie they ever show interest in

straight up doordashing them food mid stream and donating like "ran go check the door"

they love being spoiled but when it gets bad, they sit down and talk to you about it

"is it a trauma response? do you think im gonna leave if you don't spoil me enough?"

you talk about it for a while and how it's just how you show love and how people only seem to listen to you when you got them things instead of told them that you loved and cared about them

another long talk ensues

don't worry, he's never leaving

and you feel bad after so you get him a glow squid plushie!

you mightve missed the point but it's alright

FREDDIE BADLINU

yall talk about it and you promise to ease up some

he just feels really bad that you spend so much money on him

he appreciates all the words of affirmation and stuff and how you hype him up I swear LMAO

[corrodedparadox]

Are there any silicone squid left to buy? What do you think about silicone squid/shrimp/krill phone charms?

The squids were bonus goodies for the first five orders! They’re just fishing bait I got online, so it’s nothing I’ll ever sell/have listed in my shop outside of being shop drop extras

Thank you Splatoon 3

As a Pansexual Autistic Animator and artist who jumps from one hyperfixation fandom to another, I've been to many fandoms, Warrior Cats, Reverse 1999, Pokemon, Sonic, Mario, you name it. Somehow I haven't gotten my head into Splatoon. so when my friends showed me the game, I was desperate to play it. I had to buy the Online Membership. It was then shortly after my sister-in-law finally bought me the Splatoon 3 game. It was very fun. Participating in my first splatfest that ended on my birthday, then the next season participating in my first Big Run and loving the Triumvirate, I loved it all. I played Side Order and it was fun after I beat the DLC and went to Inkopolis Square. Then the Grand Festival happened, days after we saved the venue from the Big Run, Lights glowing, it was great. Then, my whole life changed when Three Wishes played. The Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, And Deep Cut, all singing together. Then the sun rose… the fest was over. outside of myself, I felt like I would break down, which I did anyway. This game means so much to me, and I was happy to spend the last few moments of this Grand Festival with my friends.

Thank you Splatoon 3…

Stay Fresh…

Don't Get Cooked, Stay Off the Hook…

Catch ya Later…

And for me… Break the Waves!

Tealstorm, out…

I am doing well, thank you :) I'm glad you're alright too ! It was great to see your reply. Funnily enough, I might've not consciously realised something was 'off' for me but I recently remembered that I actually asked to buy a 067 costume/outfit online nearly right away, at the time, after watching enough of the content through summaries or clips. I didn't end up getting it because of some complications in delivery process I think, but damn, my intuition was spot on there huh? 😂 (<- pretend there's a laughing soundboard effect)

Also waving to the other Squid Game kins that may have already posted or are still questioning!

Well we've come this far,

I remember when splatoon 1 came out, I wanted it so bad but I couldn't have it cus we didn't owe a wiiU (I was so confused back in the day about the wiiU that I thought splatoon was ON the wii lol). During this time is when I would looked up videos and art on Google and YouTube, this is what kicked started my love for spyke, which I fell in love with.

I remember splatoon 2 well as well, marina was my favorite idol, and spyke was here again (tho you couldn't talk to him). I remember how I would try doodling myself as a inkling in class, and one of my friends telling me about the game since they had a switch.

A couple of months before splatoon 3 came out, I had some money laying around and decided to buy splatoon 2 (tho I should have keeped it for splatoon 3). I didn't play multi-player as I didn't have online (and I got scared ), I made to throw single player a bit, but I finally beat it a month or so before I got splatoon 3 (evey time I'd log in, I'd squid flop in front of spyke's window for motivation)

I got splatoon 3 on Christmas from my dad, and I payed for online and the dlc by the end of the day, and I love it, I love that every one grows up

I'll be making a drawing soon (probably by the end of the week)

Goodbye splatoon, we love you<3

Hi, happy STS! What would be your MC's fursona? How would it look like? How would they treat being a furry – would they be open with it, would they have a fursuit or stay just an online furry etc.

Hello again! Thanks for the STS asks!

I associate River with squids, but it's a toss-up whether she'd want to have a squid fursona because 1. she remembers what Splatoon is and 2. her character arc is about accepting her abilities, so it would depend how comfortable she is with her shapeshifter abilities. If she is pretending she's just a normal human, she'd probably pick the spiritual opposite of a squid and be something fuzzy and land based - like a bunny rabbit maybe.

Similarly to the whole deal with her shapeshifting, I think River would be cagey about it, not advertise it, only get commissions of it and stay online with it, that kind of thing... Until she actually ends up at an in person event and realizes that she can belong in a community.

For Aspen... I think she'd go with a lioness. And in a FLOAT parallel, she would be an absolute pinnacle of the community, doing outreach, buying people supplies they need to make their suits, all sorts of stuff.

hi ! really bad news !

my art tablet just died. as in the one i use for literally all my digital work

i have the means to buy a new one, in theory but the issue is that i don't live near any sort of store that might sell them, and i can't order online right now so it could be a good while before i can arrange a replacement

until that happens, @yomakai-chairman will have to either go text-only or be put on hiatus entirely for a little while. i COULD use traditional art instead, but i don't usually like to do that for my askblogs, so text-only posts are more likely

art posts on my main are probably also gonna slow down for the same reason, though i probably will post traditional doodles every now and then

in the meanwhile, i'll be seeing what i can do to get this sorted hopefully soon lol this was the last thing that old art tablet ever drew not a squid of the day but something nice to round off a pretty upsetting post regardless

It was strange being outside of chicago on new years. If anyone remembers our apartment shows.

But the confetti was pretty and I think a girl from miss seventeen tried to kiss me on the mouth but kind of missed. Oh yeah and apparantly andrew john hurley is a dreamboat. Check the scoreboard. Tommorrow letterman and then I’m gonna buy some more heinous gear. Do you love it when I wear clashing colors as much as I do?

And why didn’t anyone tell me how amazing the movie the squid and the whale is? I told you about panic…

Over and way the fuck out.

my top ten (er top seven) of 2005 - no records included.

bonnie dillard - she is always around to tell me how wack i am - she uses the the word "totes" and "just sayin" way too much - and actually types them! she named her dog roxie wentz and she has given me exactly two compliments in my entire life - one of which was on an outfit that she picked out for me. but she pretty much is the glue for clandestine and sometimes pete wentz. editor of filthy magazine.

nick scimeca - this kid makes the craziest faces i have ever seen in my entire life. the first time i met him we got in a snowball fight. pretty much we are in this gang together forever. he does infect, foe, and some clandestine stuff. pretty much whenever i am bummed i can call him up on the phone and hell tell me some hilarious story.

demar hamilton - i have pulled this kids underwear off every time he is around me and totally wasted. its awesome. he also has a dog living in his basement that looks like a 100 yearold teddy ruxpin. oh yeah, his band is rad.

leslie simon - me and her talk about our crushes all the time. we have a mutual love for the music of ashlee simpson and kelly clarkson. when i tell her insane stories i dont even have to say "off the record" she pretty much knows. she thinks of bright eyes and fob in the same way which blows my little mind. she is editting rainy day kids. oh yeah and writing a book about boys in tight jeans that wear eyeliner as far as i can tell but its pretty hush hush.

jonathon cecil miller/dirty - pretty much this kid is made of snakes, snails and puppy dog tails. i have nothing else to say but he is the new pauly shore - even if he always punches me for saying that. pretty much he looks like a cheeseburger with toothpicks for legs but i wouldnt trade him for the world. pretty much he is the best kid ever.

jim sevcik (or however you spell it) - this is the guy who goes and digs the little youth medium shirts out of tiny boxes in the 100 plus degrees on warped tour or freezing temp on NFT - and then takes the money out of your paws. he is definitely most underrated.

andrew simon/buck - when on the westcoast these guys function as my mother. they take us out to dinner, help me find a house or apartment, look up movie times, get screenings, help me find tours, starbucks, have the cutest baby on the planet, oh yeah and they even book shows every once in awhile.

oh well i ran out of steam. ill finish later. pretty much people that i hang out with every single day are not included on this - you know who you are.

1/04/06 Q&A

question

Pete, I really need some advice. I was a virgin until I slept with this guy. I didnt tell him I was a virgin until 2hrs. after we finished nad I told him online. Then I started freaking out because I was scared I had screwed everything up between us, which I think only made everything worse. this all happen yesterday. Did I screw everything up?

answer

the best part about when things like this happen is that eventually they become the past- if you really like this guy you could probably explain yourself to him- how you just got scared and were nervous to tell him certain things. if he is worth it, i am sure he will take the time to listen and tell you how he feels too. and if he doesn’t give you the time to do that, than he isn’t worth it anyway. you can be through with the past but that past isnt always through with you.

question

Pette what type of bass do you have?

answer

fender just made me my own- its pretty rad- red and black- super light maple neck- customized electronics and pick-ups- check out a picture of it over at: www.clandestine.buzznet.com - they say they are gonna make a real cheap version of it for people to learn on

question

the background on the site finally changed. who does that?

answer

it changes with mother nature.

question

Do you have any scars. Not like emotional scars (you can include them if you wish) but good-story-scars. Like stuff involving armadillos or something interesting like that.

answer

ive got this amazing one down the palm of my hand from when me and robby windgator (sp) climbed a fence in his back yard and my hand got stuck on a nail. it slid down the entire length of my hand- i was like 8. i have two on my right hand from when i fought a car the week before the VMAs. trust me i definitely beat the car up.

notes on black clouds and underdogs - see also: cast all your fears away:

1. tickets will not be 50 dollars. haters are spreading this on the internet. if you buy your ticket ahead of time (not through some wack broker or on ebay or from a scalper)- average ticket price will be between 23-28 dollars - not going over 35 anywhere. we picked the venues based on how cheap we could get them.

2. the bands- we didn't want to have a tour where you had to see five bands that sounded exactly like fob. we went for variety. all of the bands are really nice guys as well. there will be special guests through out the tour and some suprises to make each show more exciting.

3. this is going to be fob's biggest show ever. we will be playing our longest set and will be including some special secrets.

4. did you expect us to just dump the dates in your laps? we are nerdy and weird and different. so we created a game. we thought it would be fun. the points will be weighted so a small town will have the same chance as a huge city to win a small suprise show. we want to play in front of kids that are excited and we know this is a chance to do this. there will still be other secret shows randomly happening.

5. close your eyes and just click. youve got it. dont worry just come out. andy will be running a kissing booth - it will be a blast.

more later.

8:11 pm

i am just a hot mess. i woke up to the feeling of myself throwing up today. pretty much put a damper on the entire day. i ate about 50 stomach pills and then threw them all up- it was a pretty color in the toilet. my toungue is black on the top right now. i am pretty sure thats a bad thing. i watched way too much gastinaeu (however you spell it) girls today. i think it made me sicker. it took me awhile to realize that they were mother and daughter and not sisters- but the mom is kinda hot in pissy kind of way. my mom is out of town so there was noone here to take care of me- my brother was around but hes pretty much always bongzilla'd. so i waited for back-up caretakers to arrive- one of them was busy cutting hair and the other has like a "real" job besides being dad. the best part about vomitting alone in the morning is the way the bathroom tiles feel kinda cool in a pleasant way so i took a nap there for a bit. i want to see hostel tonight but the problem is all the vomitting- see its not that i mind so much its just what if i run into someone in my sicky gear and puke on them? wow. i am glad i did this update. arent you? im gonna leave the comments open cause i never do- just write down the first thing that comes into your mind when you see that reply button- heres mine: i am just a hot mess.

I have to say it makes me feel safe and some kind of comfort to look at the clock in the corner of the screen and know that you are awake too.

1/12/06 Q&A

question

whats your view/opinion on racism?

answer

i love it. i mean what opinion would i have other than it is terrible. i hope thats what you expected.

question

So Pete, I have been wanting to learn how to play bass for a long time. Any idea when that HOT Clandestine bass will be available for the public? Thanks.

answer

its going to be available as a fender squire some time in the (near i hope) future. squire is fenders cheapest bass line - very affordable and a good bass to learn how to play on.

question

college dropout or late registration?

answer

“highschool graduate” its the mixtape he put out awhile ago- its pretty sweet.

question

okay crazy dream last night.. you [pete] and me making out after a show in a bed? yeah just thought id share.

answer

im pretty gross after a show. itd be better to just highfive i think.

question

pete. please stop licking the shoes of the island CEOs. i am getting really tired of turning on a tv and seeing a commercial for you guys playing at the fucking arena or a WHOS NEXT IN MUSIC? PANIC AT THE DISCO and THE ACADEMY IS mtv shit which was was totally all your -for lack of better word- fault. sometimes i think it cant get any worse but im always wrong. when is this going to end pete?!?!?!?

answer

i am kind of confused by this one- we are on island defjam records but the advertisements for our tour were made by our booking agent not island. academy is on atlantic/fueled by ramen and P!atd are on decaydance neither of those are island related. but i think i understand the gist of what you are trying to say. i understand that its hard to feel like you are losing a band you loved to “the mainstream” or to a bigger media. i want you to know how much fob turns down because we dont believe in it or agree with it- at the same time would you rather see the academy is on trl or limp bizkit?- id rather see sincere music up there. anyway, i know we’ll all still be here after this ends. hope you are there with us.

question

Peter do you ever get mad at us?

answer

sure. just the same way you sometimes get mad at me/us- but thats okay. neither of us ever seem to stay mad very long…

question

choose one: paramore. cartel. the academy is. or acceptance.

answer

the academy is. i dont really know the others too well.

question

Petey, what have you been up to this past week? xo

answer

training for the new video and working on/editting release the bats two (http://www.findthescene.com/Videos/RTB2_Trailer.mov)… oh yeah and sleeping some.

question

So what do you think of Brokeback Mountain?

answer

good love story. kind of depressing- it makes me think about how much i do not want to go camping.

question

ryan seacrest called you “heartbreaker wentz.” how does that make you feel? it made me giggle…

answer

i never broke that mofos heart.

question

I was wondering if any of you guys are superstitious

answer

i kiss clocks, make wishes on take offs and first kisses, hold my breath on graveyards - yes.

question

Im really upset because i have friends who like me have been FOB fans for the longest time and have met you guys numerous times but are really angry about the ticket prices and are complaining your just sell outs. Im mad because i dont think this and now they are boycotting your CT show.You guys were bound to get famous so why do people have to get like this? Whats you opinion on all this?

answer

our primary concern with this tour is: having a huge general admission floor space and keeping ticket prices as low as absolutely possible. we are doing our best- if you compare this tour with other tours with bands of the same size you will see the difference in ticket price.

question

so much for teh huge general floor space. i cant get decent tickets.

answer

if you get tickets early you should have no problem getting floor tickets. ask your broker when they will be releasing floor tickets as they are often released in bunches. i promise you every venue we are playing has a huge floor space- and if not me and my friends always used to just sneak down onto the floor. the security never tries to hard to stop you.

question

Have you ever had sex with a groupie?

answer

nope.

question

So after they finish the tour that they are on now Mest is breaking up. I sort of cant believe it but I was wondering - do you guys plan on sticking with us for a while longer? It is actually pretty hard to deal with bands just stopping for good…so I am hoping that you guys can be there with us for at least a while longer. Much love.

answer

honestly? some days i think fall out boy will be around for 20 more years and some days i think it might end tommorrow.

January 13, 2006 

first jt. now mr. frey. i fear that we are next.

it may just be the hour of the night or the song stuck in my head or some strange mix of it all.

"noones ever been this good for this long"

this is everything i am thinking right now with out transition. i apologize for my brains lack of linear thought processing: i hate the way it gets dark so early here this time of year. i guess "seasonal depression" kind of falls under "ADD" and "post tramatic whatever disorder" for me. i feel like its science from the madhatter down the rabbit hole. not too real. but lately i just wake up blue - my only thought is- how soon will the day be over so i can get back into bed. i open my eyes just a tiny bit and blur the numbers on the clock with my eyelashes. every word you say rolls off of my back - the praises and the barbs. i don't hear either, ever. sometimes the tips of my fingers itch from the back of my head- just to get the chance to tear someone to pieces and just barely let them off the hook. i swear to god, i was asleep alone. quick text me an alibi and oh god please don't dust the keyboard for prints. sometimes i stare out of the frosted window and make up stories as people walk by. the bottled blonde, park ave. princess walking whichever dog matches her coat. you know how i could turn your world upsidedown. its not love if a day goes by when you don't think about dropping it. its not the world keeping you on the outside, its you not wanting to be on the inside. everyone wants to be the first. buts its okay to be the second if you understand it better, if you make it look prettier. worn down doesn't even touch this. and theres nothing worse than when someone acts like they have you figured out, when you haven't even figured yourself out. nice boys don't write good stories or sing good songs. and his songs are boring. and his stories are just personal ads set to background music. i found the skeleton key for wedlock but i am holding off on telling her. on telling anyone for that matter. consistent inconsistency. thats all you ever have to remember and you'll do okay with me. dancers are always strippers. and paying their way through college is the BE VE. oh and hey pete do you remember the way the world used to trick you with fifty degrees in january and orange leaves in june? button your jacket tight, don't believe everything you read... don't even believe everything you wrote. i'm tired of always leaving. i'm tired of the way things always/never change. swim upstream until your gills bleed just because thats what genetic encoding commands. there aren't any trophies that are really worth it in the end. they can put you in a box when you are very young, so you'll be a pretty corpse but there are too many pages filled with too many words to lie beside you forever. intelligent design is the last great joke i heard. but honestly, no one will ever stay where i tell them, least of all the years. they keep moving. worlds greatest liar and how do you know i'm not lying when i tell you this right now? and thats coming from the king of one-liners. copy and pasted - long live the away message. kiss the monitor. fast asleep baby.

answer

kanye west wears pink polos. rob halford wears black tshirts. not that any of it matters. but how you dress should only be an amplification of who you are inside, it should not be all you are… i get teased about alot of things but you know, at the end of the day its okay to be me. im pretty sure its okay to be you too, as long as you arent like hitler or a serial killer or something insane.

these pictures make me think of me and you before i got so crazy.

the hippo lost its momma in the tsunami. now the he hangs out with this super old turtle and follows it around. from what i've read they have developed their own form of communication.

this is insane.

these parts of life are amazing.

i will try and not forget them next time.

the band is in chicago preparing their new homes to be moved into. mine is still in my parents cause i am a loser like that: see also why i am hanging in nyc by myself. but ive got some schemes that i am working on.

how i have been (barely) living: the hippo and the turtle, hanging out with minkus from boy meets world in north carolina, going to the mtv studios in nyc to see baby bros all growed up on trl, eating every single thing in this hotel minibar, writing, you. writing you.

wahahahahaha. i laughed for like a million hours at the shittalking over at: www.friendsorenemies.com its way fun to see your friends make fun of you. it keeps you levelheaded. it has gone live.

January 19, 2006 

yesyesyes-ya'll. newyorkcity. hung with patd and tai backstage at TRL and tried to make them unnervous. but i was butterflies inside. but they couldnt ever let me down. the rest of the day was spent listening to the new gymclassheroes songs and working on the new video. the gch songs are insane: i can't describe them "we gotta take our clothes off to have a good time". insane. new octfall: youve probably never met these kids but they are the nicest. always calling and asking how im doing. then the hush sound: all i can say is "sweet tangerine"- 6 months from now, you will agree with me. anyway, this isn't just some preachy post. i just love watching my friends suceed and i will believe in them until the day i die. its so great to watch everyone grow up. hopefully, somewhere someone says that about me.

we contributed a song to the breast cancer one tree hill episode/compilation. we just thought it was a great cause and couldn't pass it up. we actually thought it was a really personal cause to alot of people involved so i wanted to give a really personal song to me, so we used "dark alley".

its late and alot of the things i have been working on and thnking have stalled out. but i am trying oh so hard. got some smaller shows coming up in las vegas and l.a. for the diehards so keep your eyes out.

i am in new york city but it feels so fucking foreign. the band is in chicago but there is too much to be done out here. i know there needs to be breaks but i cant get away. maybe ill see you on fuse or trl tommorrow. maybe not cause it'll be weird with out the guys- i dunno. this hotel room doesn't make any sense. my lights are on and i am in bed knowing i will never fall asleep. i am realizing people in all the buildings outside i can see lit up can probably see in here on me. but thats okay cause i am wearing some sweet pj's.

wwwilliambecketdotlove

turn me inside out.

swoon. make me easy on the eyes. it aint hard in this light. read it. write it. throw it away and come back to the phone. light up text king.

oh yeah a little bird named mouth told me: friendsorenemies.com is up - my profile is actually me over there ... yay! let's hate eachother and/or get sexy.

January 20, 2006 

dear ireland- thank you for your pretty accents and your amazing show.

dear home- i miss you

dear you- what the fuck happened to this

a real update later.

the whole world loves it when you dont get down.

January 21, 2006 

12:17 pm 

i hate you and i hope you die. yes. i realize that you will make fun of me/take stabs at me/post ridiculous pictures of me. i realize that because of this band i have given up some of my privacy and personal life. i accept that. i can laugh at myself. i realize i will get called a douchbag. i get what i get. i have begun reading things about my friends and family. that i will not accept. i read things written by people who kiss my ass to my face. i remember who you are. fuck you. bring it on me. please leave my friends and family alone. it is extremely hurtful to me. if anyone is a friend of mine out there please tell your friends. i on the otherhand am open game. i have a good laugh at all of the stuff written about me. i am silly, i realize that. thank you.

I am an arms dealer.

I sell words you could only use as weapons.

This isn't a scene it is an arms race.

I am a con artist.

A door to door salesman.

A snake oil seller. Cures for whatever ails you.

Somehow I don't hear the violins playing.

Not really the leading man type.

I am a cadaver deep frozen. Waiting for reanimation to beinvented.

Wrote "fuckoff" on my hand to remind me to call you tommorrow morning.

What do you do when everything they say about you is true?

Do you expect me to just roll over and die?

My skin has made promises.

Whether the rest of me has or not.

Writing off tommorrows every time my fingers touch these buttons.

Putting all the comforts and closeness in reverse just for you.

I think its time to re-asses some of the policies of the wentz administration.

Our approval rating is at an all time low.

In case you haven't been informed you have to take a ticket to be disappointed by me.

There's a fucking line.

Well have some goddamned order.

Its a posh and exclusive club.

I have a lifetime membership.

Make it glamorous.

Make the rumors true.

Read the sign next to the bridge "giveupallhope..." and just tie down the gas pedal.

Lie in the back.

Haven't you heard, sorrow is in.

You are the beaches of normandy the night before.

And a girl with such a sweet drink should never sit in the corner and cry about anyone or anything.

The kids on the net had it right sometimes we should fuck off and die and break up and stop ruining art.

But the kids had it right sometimes when they sit waiting in line with hands frozen out waiting to get into a room first.

The only thing I can admit is this is no masterplan. I'm trying to figure it out.

"Without the sour the sweet wouldn't taste so sweet (tangerine)".

Its 3am in leeds. This is what just crossed my mind.

Love, the fancy kid.

live via manchester holiday inn express:

first and foremost. these shows have been amazing. i think it is quite possibly because we don’t get over here often or maybe because we are playing smaller clubs… but i am thinking we need to make a stop over here more often.

i wanted to congratulate p!atd the disco on making it to number 10 on the TRL countdown. and i just wanted to put this out there: there is no way it was paid to happen. of all the bands on “new bands week” panic was the only that didn’t put up big pushes to have the video voted on. if anything this band wants to do things their own way. hence picking the song they did for the single- that was the bands choice and in my opinion they have songs on the record that could easily be bigger. it was also the bands choice to create a darker video…. as a label i can tell you that we definitely don’t have the money to spend on a “big budget” video right now- not to mention having any left over for anything else- you’d laugh if you saw the budgets we filmed the new panic and gch videos on. but i couldn’t say enough about how nice these kids are- they don’t even get how big their band is and thats a good thing… i personally would rather see great bands on the forefront of music… and yes there are lots of other bands that deserve to make it there as well- so maybe on our messageboard tell me about some great (unsigned) bands that we should check out.

other than that we’ve just been writing new songs and working on the new video. pretty soon its going to become time focus all attention on a new fall out boy record again.

got some big news for you coming up very soon…

question

do you watch that show roseanne on nick at night. i love that show!

answer

me and my friends used to hang out with becky in evanston, il in highschool. she was not to fond of me or my friend jody.

question

ok i know this is nobodys business but yours but there is alot of stuff going around on the boards saying that the big news is your engaged just to get things straight is that it? because those people are starting to annoy me….

answer

me being engaged is most definitely not the big news.

question

in the song calm before the on take this to your grave, there is a line that says :Well theres a song on the radio that says lets get this party started, lets get this party started. did you write that line because of the song by pink called lets get this party started. just curious.

answer

yes.

question

Hey Pete. My grandma is dying (and she doesnt care) and I for real dont feel anything towards her. My mom is seriously upset, my dad is just about the same and my sisters dont know. I am suppose to tell them but how do I do that when my grandma wasnt a grandma for me but for them she was a great lady? I just want this done and over because I am kind of tired of waiting for her to die since she has been making suicide references for the past two years.

answer

that is one of the hardest places to ever be in. i remember seeing thoughts of my grandfather in my head when he died i was on tour. and i couldnt really feel sad unless i thought of it as my dad and it really freaked me out. it made me feel like i wanted to see my dad right that second. id be completely lost with out him. i think that people handle grief in different ways and the best thing we can do is try to be there for them. im sorry to hear about that though.

1/30/06

Dear Aubrey

(danbrey fic for @tazsapphicweek ! this has been so fun. I'll put it on AO3 if anyone wants, but idk how collections work. also the prompt was technically "home" but I've done like three based on that prompt so...)

Dear Aubrey, 

Do you know how many casserole dishes I’ve washed for the privilege of control over the TV? Jake said that if I keep putting on Supernatural I’ll owe him three bags of the fancy squid chips he likes just for his suffering. 

That’s not it. 

Dear Aubrey, 

I’ve been watching Supernatural. You were right, it’s pretty good. 

Dammit. 

No. 

Dear Aubrey, 

They didn’t have TV shows in Sylvain. You know that. You’ve been there. But of the three that I’ve encountered so far, Supernatural seems pretty good. Definitely better than streaming old episodes of America's Test Kitchen, which is all Barclay wants to watch.

FUCK.

Dear Aubrey, 

Do you know how many perfectly good sketchbook pages I’ve spent, trying to draft a proper letter to you? 

I know you’re not, like. Living far away. You’re going to be back in a few hours, actually, probably, unless you’re killed, but I don’t think you will be, and then you’ll eat something terrible for you and pass out like, two floors above me. 

Maybe I could pass this to you through the vents. 

Did you know that passing notes between bunk beds is common to both our worlds? Sometimes I imagine you’re in the bunk above me, and we could just, talk. In the darkness. About everything. 

The truth is, I’ve got a lot to say. But you’re not here, so I’m writing it down. In my sketchbook. I really should buy a notebook or something. 

Goddamnit. 

I could’ve sketched so many cedar branches on this. 

Dear Aubrey, 

This is going to sound insane, but you smell like home. A little smoky, a little like flash-paper, but there’s also this strong ginger smell. That part is familiar. It’s orange and spicy and makes my teeth flinch in their illusion. 

When you walked by the other day it felt like every spark of heat in my body rushed towards you, like there’s a current between us. What do you guys call it, bird bumps?

For a moment, I was just, frozen. And then you looked over my shoulder at the vase of flowers I was drawing and said something like, “Oh my gosh, that’s so cool!” And you joked that I could make hundreds of dollars online if I drew Deacon Winchester. Your hand brushed my shoulder, and all the warmth came back, just like that. 

I’ve never felt anything like it.

Well, I have. You know about the crystal, right? It felt kind of like touching that. 

God, Dani. Don’t bring that into this. 

Dear Aubrey,

I’ve spent so long trying not to stand out.

I can have my identity, so long as it's quiet enough that no one looks too closely. 

I can doodle on the cover of my sketchbook. I can be the quirky alt girl who doesn’t have her license at the age of… what age do I tell people. I don’t even remember. I can stare into the mirror, smiling at the freckles that show up on my nose, and people will forgive me for not wearing makeup, but they can’t see my skin when it glows, they can’t see my teeth. They must never see my teeth. 

You, on the other hand. Your flashy gestures, your vibrant hair, your jacket that you can barely see under all the pins. When you walk, they clink, alerting people (people whose skin didn’t tingle the moment you arrived, people who are not me) that you’re here. You’ve got an identity strong and colorful enough to be armor. You wear your teeth on the outside. 

I want to know what’s under all that. Not to be- nevermind. 

I want to know what it’s all protecting.

Or maybe, it’s protecting us. 

Dear Aubrey, 

I miss Sylvain a lot. 

It’s hard to describe the feeling of missing your former planet. It’s like an ache, but sharper. It’s hard, and scratchy, and it eats a cavern inside of me. It’s empty in here. It tingles. My pain chimes, and the chimes echo. 

It chafes at you, when the world you’re in is not yours. I don’t belong here, and Earth has no qualms about reminding me. Alien customs. Alien holidays. Alien people, but… not so much you. 

It went away, the other day, when you touched me. Just for a second, I was full. 

In that second, I felt so free. I felt so untethered. I felt like I could go and be anywhere as long as it was with you. So, not untethered. Re-tethered. 

Sometimes I imagine there’s a string between us, and when I see you fidgeting with your fingers, it’s being pulled, looped and tied. I want you to make me into jewelry, to set me around your neck. I want to swing there, next to that gemstone you always wear. I want your heartbeat to warm my skin.

To be a vampire is to know that you are empty, and that other people fill you up. 

Here you are, with all this vitality. If I soaked myself in it, if I tucked myself like a bunny rabbit into your arms, if I bottled up vials of flame to warm my bath and make my tea, would you even notice? I don’t want to hurt anyone. Sometimes I feel like I’m scraping away at the walls of a cave inside me, and one day my willpower will collapse. I keep shoring up my inhibitions. 

Why does it feel like I’ve awoken from the most restful sleep of my life after talking to you? Why do I feel relieved when you brush my arm? I just want to close my eyes. I want to take off this disguise. I want to follow you. 

God, I barely even know you. 

This is so weird. I’m sorry. 

Dear Aubrey, 

I have one episode left of season five of Supernatural. I thought I’d take your advice about stopping there. And now I get the joke you made about chevy impalas! 

Do you want to watch the last episode together? 

Love, 

Sincerely, 

Yours,

Dani <3

I’m home again!! 🎉

Technically I came home a few days ago, but I’ve been way too tired to come online and resume my usual activities 😅

My travels were very fun and very exhausting. I didn’t see any strange creatures out on Loch Ness, but I did buy 2 Nessie plushies! In fact, here are all the plushies I acquired on my trip (the squid is a belated birthday gift from @timebird84​ 😆) Also, that is not a pipe.

I wanted to buy a Miffy plush while in Holland, but the prices were a bit too high, so I bought a used one on eBay for much less and she was ready to greet me when I returned home, making her an honorary souvenir plush �� Here she is wearing some little clogs I bought in Holland:

Lastly, here’s Kenji the Boba on a joyride through the English countryside 😂 (you may have to wait several seconds for the gif to play)

Hope y’all have been well! 💖

[ginnungagay]

Help I love Felix AWAA what is his lore if he has any 👀?

WUAHHH THANK YOU!!! Well first and foremost he is not a squid usually but a college student!! Said college campus got hit with some scifi bullshit and it resulted in a lot of people gaining wacky superpowers, and his is a form of telekinesis, but only with certain objects. With time and practice he'd be able to move a lot of things, but he's best at using his (dramatically long, usually unseasonable) big blue scarf as an extra pair of limbs, and the three swords he definitely didn't buy at the mall. He's friends with Toni and another of my OCs, King, and they're usually found loitering around doing nerd things when they're not beset by RPG-standard nonsense.

Personality wise, he's one of those 'looks cool and stoic unless you get him talking' in which case he gets very animated and kind of cringe and will absolutely get into heated arguments about video games online. It's bad for his health, it's something to work on, he just really loves Legally Distinct Fast Hedgehog a normal amount.

Also he has a doggie companion! I did not draw the doggie in the mermay pic I am still trying to figure out how to stylize her face

[dragon-swords-prophecies]

I want to know about the giant squid plushie 👀 it sounds so very friend shaped and I love me a good stuffed toy ❤️

hello!!! it is indeed so very friend shaped (or it will be, once it's not, ya know, cut out pieces of fabric)

so the giant squid plushie is uh, currently the bane of my existence, because I sewed the edges of the body before I put the fins in, so I now need to seam rip ~3 feet of stitching, but!!!

it's name is jeremy and I'm making it based off of this pattern from a screenshot-ed tumblr post I found on pinterest three years ago, before I had a tumblr or the confidence to make an 8 foot long giant squid plushie

It's mostly purple, except for half of the tentacles, because part of the design is that one side of each tentacle/arm is the felt you're using for the rest of the piece and then the other half is an accent fabric thing, so for the accent fabric thing I'm using yellow novelty printed chicken fabric (this was partly an excuse to buy novelty printed chicken fabric)

I wanted to use different, cuter novelty yellow printed chicken fabric but that one was out of stock so I got this one instead. it still works!! and I have an extra yard of it cause you have to order 2+ yards if you're getting it online so I am tempted to make my next project attempting to make a button down out of this. no clue if I have enough or not, that's a problem for future copper (I really really hope I have enough).

I don't have any pictures of the current state of things, but this is when I was cutting out my fabric and ernie (my cat) was being a cat and sitting on it

it's a lot of fabric

[anti-workshop]

Lmao didn’t know shaky hands had a tumblr, hey from mke! Been meaning to learn more abt the set up and how the co-op’s been doing ;P

Heyooooo! Yeah this is sort of our unofficial/official tumblr I guess? The co-op is doing well enough to pay rent and bills but not pay ourselves very often yet. But hey that's part of building something right? Right? I'm asking because I don't know. HA! We're partnering with some great groups and folks to make their merch and host their online stores. Here's a short list:

Thoughtslime Quad cities DSA Squid Punk Call of the Void Bellends

We've got some exciting ones in the works for some really neat people, I should post when those go live. We desperately need another water-based screen printer who knows their stuff but we can't actually pay wages right now so we're sort of out of luck there. We're still here, we're still forging ahead.

OH! And if anyone wants to support the shop and also the local IWW, buy shit from our anti-work wear line: https://anti-work.shop/

And to close out here's some glamor shots of our lovely mess

[zip001]

some dishes we made these last two weeks from ingredients we got from weee! asian online grocery store - squid ink pasta with clams, bo luc lac (vn shaking beef) with watercress and frisée, and short grain white rice with yu choy (asian greens) and baby king oyster mushrooms and chinese celery.

[[MORE]]

we recently started buying produce and seafood (clams and sushi grade tuna) from weee! online grocery - before we only bought their specialty items (like luxe mooncakes, taiwanese pineapple cakes, japanese sweets) for gifts or for parties, or produce we could not find in our local markets (like scapes, ojai pixie tangerines, shine muscat grapes, sugar kiss melons, etc.). i was pleasantly surprised at how fresh the produce was and how economical they were (better prices than my local markets along with free delivery) and how convenient (i order at night and usually get my order the next morning or the morning after that).
