#dude my cousins are such dorks

[direwolfrules]

Oh my fairy godmother I am so happy you are post about Ever After High!!! Do you have any fanfic or au ideas involving them? Like, what if one character had another destiny or what if they were in the Star Wars universe?! It’s just interesting to think about!

Hey! Glad to see we share another fandom interest!

So, I have this barebones post for what I would have done as a crossover between g1 Monster High and Ever After High.

As for general fanfic ideas I have a few. I shall now list them in varying levels of detail:

1. A Very Charming Groundhog Day Year:

Basically, the Charming siblings time loop back from a bit after Dragon Games but before Epic Winter to the day before the school year started (the day of the Family Ball in the books). While it would be kinda angsty, the best time loop fics are usually crack fics, and this would be no exception (if I ever wrote any of these things).

So Daring, Dexter, and Darling are all initially in states of panic and anxiety. Daring, he was in the middle of a quarter-life crisis and now has to deal with everyone and their fairy godmother thinking he's Apple's Prince Charming.

"Daring Charming, more like Distressed Charming, am I right?"-- Dexter, who should get to exhibit asshole little brother energy more often, as a treat.

Speaking of Dexter, he's panicking cause of all the awful stuff that's going to happen during the school year and also because now he has to go through the nerve-racking ordeal of asking out the girl he likes all over again.

Darling's in hell because everyone and their fairy godmother expect her to be this perfect little damsel, again, which is just- ugh. There are days she wishes she could carry her sword around with her, and they're most days. Also, she never got to talk to Apple about their True Love's CPR, which is just tragic.

The loops go on for a while, some constants in them include: Darling freeing herself and helping little Good-Enough Charming get one of their grandfather's trophies for the scavenger hunt, Dexter and Darling teaming up to kill the changeling and free cousin Charity (sometimes Daring helps but he's content to let his siblings have fun for once), Darling accidentally on purpose flirting with Apple and Apple experiencing several degrees of gay panic, Dexter fumbling asking out Raven for the first time (he's really such a dork, just a funky dude), and the Charming Siblings teaming up to make Milton Grimm's life a living hell.

In one loop they secretly film him playing with his toy unicorns and his action figure of himself and they hijack Blondie's mirrorcast to play it to the entire school.

After several loops a Monster High crossover happens, and so in every loop after that the Charming sibs, who have grown incredibly gremlin-like after experiencing the insanity of the school several dozen times, make sure to drop monster slang when it's just them and Cupid. Like:

Darling: "Wow, Cupid, that top looks clawsome."

Daring: "Totally, it's freaky fierce."

Cupid: "What?!"

Darling: "That top looks nice on you. Anyway, we gotta run."

Dexter: "Yeah, see you later ghoulfriend!"

I have some other half-baked ideas for this one but it'd probably be it's own post.

2. Murdoch Mysteries-ish AU:

This one makes no sense if you've never watched the hit Canadian Detective Show, Murdoch Mysteries. Or maybe it makes some sense, idk. Instead of a modern AU, we have a 1895 detective AU. It's barely an idea, I have no idea if I'd even keep this in the fantasy setting of (an 1895) Ever After or not.

Dexter is the Detective William Murdoch of this AU, the man with no game and beautiful blue eyes who women keep inexplicably falling in love with. He's observant and a little strange but he's also a brilliant detective. One of the major differences though is Dexter is the disowned son of old money parents.

Raven's the Dr. Julia Ogden, the outspoken, independent, and compassionate coroner helping solve cases and being amazing. Her rich, controlling mother doesn't much approve of her life choices but old Mrs. Queen can suck it. Raven and Detective Charming have a clearly mutual attraction but they're both hesitant to act on it cause what's a romance without a good slow-burn.

Hopper's the Constable George Crabtree of this AU. Listen, the everyday George matches Hopper's human side, and writer George matches Hopper's frog side. I will not elaborate, because I really cannot. Just feel the vibes, cause the words aren't coming.

I'm not 100% sure who'd be the Inspector Brackenreid. Part of me kinda wants to make it Professor Badwolf, and then I could make Milton Grimm the asshole commissioner. Coach Gingerbreadman is the Inspector of Station 5, the rivals of Station 4.

Daring is heir to the Charming family fortune. Golden boy, everyone loves him, wants more than anything to be able to talk to his little brother in public, but their parents would disown him as well if he stepped out of line.

Apple is one of Raven's housemates at Sisters boarding house, run by Bella and Brutta Sister. She was once courted by Daring, it was at the point where people were expecting an engagement announcement any day. That's when they suddenly broke it off, with no explanation (the explanation is Daring's in love with another girl and Apple's in love with his sister). Snow White and her husband barely agreed to let her move into the boarding house, I honestly have no clue how Apple managed to pull that off but good for her.

Idk, Darling's a vigilante. She's got the same deductive genius as Dexter, she just doesn't have the same ability to join the police force. Inspector Badwolf is tired of his cops being outdone by the mysterious White Knight (yeah, yeah, I made Darling into Victorian-era Batman). Couldn't the White Knight patrol Station 5's territory? (The answer is no, because Darling really wants to catch a glimpse of her twin and also because Sisters Boarding house is in Station 4's territory and sometimes she likes to secretly crash with her girlfriend).

3. The Destiny Cycle AU (AKA: Ever After High but the Rebel Movement is an actual Rebellion AU):

What it says on the tin. Raven discovers the book is fake before Legacy Day. Her and Dexter, who in this AU is believed to be Ashlynn's future Prince Charming because someone made a good post about the potential dynamics that could cause and I love it, set out to uncover what other secrets those in charge are hiding.

Basically, in this AU Ever After is a dystopia where the Royal Families tied the survival of their dynasties' rule to their stories. Like, magically tied them. The Fates themselves have been bound by the magic of the Destiny Cycle. Ever After's Destiny-bound citizens are forced to repeat the same stories as their ancestors, all because Happily Ever After doesn't include a revolt or the institution of democracy. All stories are repeated as a precaution against anyone figuring out what the ancestors of the Royal Families did.

Taking some inspiration from the SDCC Raven Queen doll's letter from her mother, the Evil Queen discovered the truth about the Destiny Cycle, said "not my kid you bastards", and proceeded to try to break the Cycle's bonds. Her taking over other stories and cursing Wonderland was an attempt to stretch the probability bonds of the Destiny Cycle's magic to the breaking point.

Stuff's gonna go down and basically these kids know time is running out until there's a war, cause the only way to avoid being offered up as a lamb to the slaughter is to overthrow the whole system.

God, I really gotta make this into it's own post as well now. But here's a basic rundown of some stuff I'd include:

Dexter and Raven being young and in love and just all the secret romance feels

Snow White knows about the Destiny Cycle, but Apple absolutely does not know.

Apple being born blonde is a sign that the Evil Queen's schemes loosened the grip of the Destiny Cycle, at least for a moment.

Ashlynn, Hunter, Dexter, and Raven as secret rebel leaders.

The backgrounders will have actual roles dammit! (Looking at you Lawrence Bonecrusher III, aka Orc Boy).

An exploration of artificial Destiny Cycle "True Love" vs. real True Love, featuring Apple, Daring, and Darling.

C.A. Cupid, sent by her godly family to infiltrate Ever After and cure it of the Destiny Cycle, because it's interfering in the domains of the gods.

A unique Monster High crossover idea that I will elaborate on in another post.

These children absolutely end up having to kill someone and it scars them forever.

As for different destinies AUs or Star Wars AUs, I haven't really given them much thought.

I think, in a Star Wars setting (possibly Old Republic?), Raven would be a Jedi padawan descended from a long line of Sith. Instead of Mirror Prison, her mom is dead and her Force Ghost is bound to a giant, mirrorlike piece of kyber crystal. Uh, not 100% sure who her master would be.

Darling would also be a Jedi padawan, and Maid Marian would be her Master. Maid Marian gets into custody battles over this kid with this old Jedi Watchman known only as The White Knight. She'd still have her time-slowing hair flip, in this AU it's just a unique way of activating the Force Slow ability.

reg and sev are the same shit on different days bro wdym. if I asked u to find which pale dark and broody fucking loser mega dork with black hair no height and the worst fucking social skills you wouldnt be able to tell which is which. and that they both have beef with one marauder over the rest, very personal relationships w james and a complex fuck around find out w sirius? insane.

HUH???? I AM IN SHOCK???? What do you MEAN they're the same shit on different days???? FUCK NO

Just in looks alone, while they might both be pale losers with dark hair that leans on the shorter side, Severus is malnourished in a way that's caused by growing up poor, he's got longer hair that's both greasy and curly in a way that Regulus's would never be (it's also damaged as fuck from him not taking care of it, like he's got split ends to the point where it's affecting his curl pattern while also having the most horrendously cut bangs you've ever seen in your life). Severus has a hooked nose, dark and beady eyes and something four hairs away from being a unibrow. While I imagine Regulus to be on the leaner side, he's lean in a svelte and sophisticated way not because he's not had the means to feed himself. His hair might be dark but it's cut to fit his features and you're not going to find a split end in sight on him. The few waves he's got are taken care of as well. Regulus, while I don't think he's necessarily the most handsome, at least not compared to Sirius, he will still always be more conventionally attractive than Sev, with his straight nose and his beauty spots rather than pimples and mosturised skin or even just a natural glow compared to Severus's greasier look.

I also don't think Regulus has the worst social skills ever, that's once again more of a Severus thing.

You have to remember how these two grew up, too, cause things like this set them apart once again. Regulus is the second son of one of, if not the, richest and most prominent pureblood families in all of England and perhaps even in France as well. He's been socialised with this in mind, which means, as pathetic and loser-like as he might be in other places of his life, he will still go through life with a certain kind of entitlement. Due to his family's position in wizarding society, it would not be far-fetched to assume that he's at the very least been socialised well enough to handle a dinner party. Severus on the other hand grew up as a dirt-poor half-blood with an abusive, alcoholic muggle father who hated literally half of him (his magical side) and a witch mother, who despite her ability to never stepped in to do anything against the abuse towards her son. I'm also 99% sure Eileen gets disowned after having Severus which means he's not even got family to rely on for socialisation, while Regulus might have at the very least had his cousins and his brother. Severus's socialisation would come from parents that do not care for his existence, perhaps peers at school who likely did not care for him either (that is if he was enrolled in muggle school at all) and then Lily and Petunia, one of which never liked him either. Severus also grew up in an area where it was common to have an accent that was viewed as less intelligent, something he'd have to peel off of himself just to be taken more seriously. This is also completely ignoring my own personal headcanons. As someone who think Severus is a part Greek Jew, his experience is never going to be the same as some pasty upperclass French dude, that's just not how things work.

And then, going into their relationship with the marauders, those are once again complex relationships built on completely different things. Ignoring jegulus as a thing, James is the guy Sirius ran away to stay with. He is perhaps viewed as a replacement for Regulus and I'm sure that could cause some issues. Then we've got Regulus and Sirius, brothers who grew up in a home with different expectations for them both, with abuse that affected them differently. I always say that no two siblings grew up with the same parents even if they grew up with the same mum and dad cause parents parent differently with each kid based on their personalities and circumstances and even the personalities and circumstances of their other siblings. I think this is very true for Regulus and Sirius. All of this however is NEVER going to equal being bullied relentlessly for years, bullying that started because of Severus's mere existence, and which ended in sexual assault. (I know some people are going to say that Severus was bullied for his death eater ways and while sure you could argue that that is true, he was not a death eater when he pulled up at 11/12 and we know the marauders didn't start bullying him after he started engaging in his death eater stuff, it was long before that). Those are not people with the same lived experiences at all! The way that this isn't even all the comparisons I could make too,,,

Also one of the few things that we know about Regulus is that he's soft to a degree that ends up hurting him, a thing that Severus never allowed himself to be. Also simply in a sense of helping with the war,,, Regulus actively complicated things while Severus dedicated his life to the war in more ways than one which is what partially led it to an end.

So, in short, I disagree, I think they're very, very different characters and thus bring very, very different things to the table in ships

It has come to my attention that people find me intimidating.

I mean anyone that knows me in any capacity knows that 🎀 🎶 Im just a girl 🎶 🎀 but I’m going over certain life events and am realising that people are somehow intimidated by me

When I was younger I would always “scare” my classmates when I was just giving them a blank look. Like I was just trying to process what they were saying or at most try for a “seriously dude?” And they always just apologised like they’d greatly upset or inconvenienced me.

On the first day of college, the people I’m now friends with all thought I was some kind of stuck up bitch because I was coming from a different country and because of my demeanour which was apparently uninviting and they had to muster up courage to talk to me only to realise that I’m a fucking dork that wants to gush about podcasts and crochet and mental health.

Im at home for summer break and we’ve had so many dinner parties and all the younger kids that I’ve known for years, well they don’t actively avoid me but they act like I’m going to incinerate them with a judgemental eyebrow and hateful glare, which is new. My own older sister came up to me and told me to not openly be so dismissive and rude to our mutually disliked cousin, which confused me because I genuinely thought I was being very polite and including her in conversations and stuff I didn’t think I was being rude.

Growing up my older sister was always the intimidating one. Now that she’s grown out of it it appears Ive inherited the title and it’s encompassing abilities and appearances against my will. I inherited Resting Bitch Face.

Also is this a common experience for siblings. That when your older sibling grows out of something you inherit that thing. I know it happens with clothes and such but I’m getting hand me down ABILITIES. I couldn’t draw for shit until my sister left for college. I’d rarely been considered intimidating until she stopped being it.

I find it slightly unfair and mildly entertaining because like

Me, externally: *resting bitch face, looking like I’ll break the next person to even look at me*

Me, internally: oh my god I cannot wait to go collect some more cool rocks

Bonus: you wanna see some cool rocks! Yes you do you’re on tumblr. here’s some cool rocks I collected on a recent trip. Some of them are just shiny and the others are neat looking.

[protect-daniel-james]

Been fecking about with The Sims 3 because I want to actually get to play the game rather than just build, build, and build, so... Mind you, I don't use that much CC anyway.

I'm quite proud of Mad Dog!! (the house is not real, i was just testing the poses with some background lol, they will get a proper house later on).

Obviously, he lives with Eddie - please don't laugh about Eddie, he's literally some blonde guy, there is no hairstyle that's suitable for him lmao.

Then we have the two Ashleys, just being two dudes living their best life on a farm, growing veggies and making wine (once again, Barnesy is literally some guy, at least Westy is somewhat himself. There is no receding hairline hairstyle in my game for Barnesy).

And the Queen of Sass herself, on the prowl for A Well Respected Man About Town to marry (he doesn't exist yet).

And a sweet pair of hardworking dorks who love to snuggle.

Next time, I will figure out how to make a hairy bear and you can guess whom I will try to make (the Greek God himself).

I highly doubt the game allows such a body though :'(

I think furthermore, I would love to have some Cholo & Antoine, Jürgen, Pep, maybe José just for the lols, I have vampire!Unai & Pau already but didn't take a snap, and then I guess we might get the Lampardverse??? i have no clue how cousin relationships are restricted in the game :')))))) I once had Klopp and Coutinho in the game already, and Klopp is very easy to make (especially with his old glasses)!! Unlike Eddie and Barnesy who are literally just some white British lads hehe.

It was impossible to contain the fire that ignited every time he touched me like this, when his tenderness suddenly escalated into an overwhelming intensity, when his lips explored mine with a hunger I had never experienced before.

✦ summary: Nore and the Metallica boys have a chaotic but fun day at Cliff's birthday party, and Dave and Nore finally aknowledge how deep their feelings for each other have become.

✦ on this chapter: dave mustaine x female oc, oc is cliff's cousin, +18, language, slice of life, drinking, smoking, drug use, fluff, lars being lars (a little shit but in an endearing way), dave and oc completely in love with each other, found family vibes

✦ a/n: hello! so this is the last of the already published chapters, i will also post a completely new chapter tonight here and on ao3. hope you like reading, feedback is welcome!

✧ but if you hold me without hurting me, you'll be the first who ever did ✧

We finally parked in front of Joe's beach house after a tense few minutes in the van. Dave and Cliff had been throwing indirect jabs at each other the entire trip, and while I felt mortified about it, Lars and Leanne seemed to be having a lot of fun with the situation. I let out a sigh as I got out of the van, feeling a mix of excitement and relief. Finally, we could focus on celebrating Cliff's birthday and let the tension fade away.

"Party time!" Lars exclaimed as he stepped out of the van, taking a deep breath and wearing a satisfied grin as he headed towards the gate of the house.

"Don't even think about dodging the beer unloading duty," James warned him with a serious look. "Nore and I carried everything ourselves on the way here, so now you and Dave have to lend a hand too."

"Hey, what about Cliff?" Lars protested, and James furrowed his brow.

"It's his birthday, you dork."

"So, he's off the hook?"

"Well, yeah. Besides, someone has to call Joe and let him know we've arrived."

The guys unloaded the van with all the beer crates while Cliff and Leanne went to fetch Joe and get him to open the garage for us to park. I just stood there, watching, as James and Dave wouldn't let me lift a single can. They said I'd already done my part carrying the van earlier. Well, I wasn't about to argue with that. Better for me, I guess.

Finally, Joe showed up and opened the garage so we could park the van. We all made our way into the house. Joe was this tall, lanky dude, almost as tall as Cliff, with long blond hair flowing down his shoulders in waves. He greeted Leanne and the guys, then turned his attention to me.

"Hey, I don't think I know you," he said with a smile.

"Joe, this is Nore. She's Cliff's cousin," Leanne introduced me. "Nore, this is Joe, he's a friend from college."

"Ah, you're the one Mustaine can't stop talking about, huh?" he chuckled, and I couldn't help but blush. Dave shot him a look, looking a bit annoyed. Joe shook my hand. "Nice to meet you, Nore."

"Nice to meet you too, Joe," I smiled.

"You guys got here early. The rest of the gang hasn't arrived yet. C'mon, let's head to the backyard!"

He led us to the backyard, a cool spot with a big pool and a lawn where they had set up some tables. A low fence surrounded it, overlooking the beachfront street. From there, we could see the strip of sand, hear the waves crashing and smell the ocean’s scent. But that's not exactly what grabbed our attention; we wasted no time grabbing some beers and cracking them open as more people arrived for the party.

Before we knew it, the place was packed. I have to admit, I was surprised. I didn't realize Cliff knew so many people that I didn't recognize. At some point, I ended up splitting from the guys, but I had Leanne to keep me company. It turned out she had invited some friends from college because I got introduced to about 10 different people who were studying with her. Someone brought a sound system, and music filled the air. The drinks kept flowing, and I soon started feeling a bit lightheaded since they never let me have an empty cup.

'Found you!' a voice called out to me, and I turned to find Dave beaming at me. James stood next to him, shirtless and completely soaked , which probably meant he had just come out of the pool. I blinked, surprised, as they approached and Dave grabbed my hand. 'C'mon, it's about to start.'

'What's about to start?' I chuckled as he led me to a table by the pool. There were two full beer bottles at the table and one person standing in front of each: Lars and some other guy I didn’t know. Joe, the host, was between them, wearing a big smile on his face. A bunch of people had gathered around the table, forming a big circle, and they all seemed excited. I had no clue what was going on, but I watched curiously.

“Alright! You've placed your bets,” Joe began addressing the crowd. People clapped and cheered in anticipation. He grinned even wider. “Now it's time to find out: who takes the crown in the beer race!”

“Beer race?” I turned to Dave, laughing. “What the heck is that?” 

“Whoever chugs their brew the fastest wins,” he grinned with excitement. 

“We're betting on the winner. If Lars manages to snag the victory, we'll pocket some cash,” James chimed in, chuckling. I laughed too, dumbfounded; I couldn't decide if it was awesome, ridiculous, or both at the same time.

“On one side!” Joe yelled, pointing to the dude standing right in front of Lars. “Him, the reigning champ for the eighth time. Straight from the University of San Francisco: Daniel "Alkoholizer" Reeds!” 

Most people clapped and cheered, hyping him up. Daniel took a bow with a laugh. He already seemed pretty drunk. Dave and James booed loudly. 

“On the other…” Joe continued. “The fearless challenger, the drummer from the hot new underground sensation of San Francisco: Lars Ulrich!” 

Some people clapped, and I joined them as Dave and James hollered at Lars, cheering him on.

“Alright!” Joe exclaimed, pumped up. “Let's get this show on the road. On your marks... One... Two... Three... Go!” 

Lars and the other guy, Daniel, swiftly grabbed their beer bottles and started drinking. My mouth dropped open in surprise at the lightning-fast pace Daniel was chugging; Lars didn't stand a chance. Daniel finished in a flash, slamming the bottle on the table with a triumphant grin before collapsing to the ground. The crowd erupted in applause and cheers, ecstatic with the result.

'Dammit!' Lars shouted, pissed off, slamming his half-empty bottle on the table.

“Daniel just won for the ninth damn time today!” Joe exclaimed amid the guests' excitement. “He's unstoppable, folks. And…” he grinned mischievously at Lars. “You know what happens to the loser, right?” 

Lars grumbled, clearly unhappy with his fate. 

“Straight into the pool!” Joe yelled, as two guests grabbed Lars, one by the arms and another by the legs. “Give this Danish guy a bath!” 

They swung Lars back and forth before tossing him into the pool while he yelled in protest. I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe, but Dave and James looked quite displeased as Joe went around collecting the dollars wagered with a big smile on his face.

"Did that happen to you too?" I asked, still laughing, looking at James as Lars emerged from the pool and joined us, annoyed. James grumbled, nodding in agreement. 

"Lars lost again?" Cliff suddenly appeared, his arm around Leanne's shoulders and a half-empty vodka bottle in his hand. "You guys are gonna end up paying for Joe's next party with all the cash you lose in this dumb game." 

"Why don't you give it a shot?" I said. "I'm sure you could win." 

"No freakin' way, Nore," he scoffed. 

"We should start training for this crap, man," Lars chimed in, irritated. "I still wanna kick Daniel's ass." 

"Yeah, I think the game's over for now," Dave said, sounding disappointed, and he looked to the other side of the pool. I followed his gaze and saw Daniel crouched on the grass, puking into a bucket while Joe tried to offer him some water. 

"Forget about that," Leanne spoke excitedly. "Come here, you guys. I brought Cliff's gift!" 

"You didn't say anything about a gift," Cliff raised an eyebrow, a smile forming on his face that Leanne mirrored. 

"'Cause it's a surprise," she opened the shoulder bag she was carrying as we all gathered around her, curious. "Are you ready? Look, I splurged on this, but I think you deserve it." 

I gasped in astonishment as she pulled out a plastic package containing a lot — and I really mean a lot — of weed. Dave, Lars, and James looked as shocked as I was, but I could see Cliff's eyes light up at the sight of the "gift." 

"Holy shit, Lea," he laughed. "That's why I love you." He took the package in his hands before looking at us, a mischievous smile on his face. "So, who's down to smoke this with me?"

I let out a sigh, closing my eyes and resting my head on Dave's shoulder. It was getting dark, and the party had calmed down a bit with some people leaving. But the ones who stayed were still going strong, drinking, dancing, and chatting by the pool—except for our little group, who seemed to have gotten way more stoned than we bargained for. 

The scene was pretty funny: Cliff was slouched on one of the couches, his gaze lost, clutching a half-smoked joint, while Leanne snoozed beside him, curled up against his body. On the other couch, Dave sat with a half-empty beer bottle, and I snuggled up next to him, my head on his shoulder, trying to adjust to the feeling that everything seemed to be spinning around. 

James was crashed out on our couch, his head resting on my thighs, snoring like a freight train. His blond hair was still a bit damp, tickling my skin. And there was Lars, shirtless, sprawled on the floor between the two couches, fixating on his open hand, basking in the balcony light.

"You know what?" Lars suddenly asked, his words slightly slurred. "I'm wondering if we built a raft out of beer cans, would it hold us?" 

"Where'd you get that idea, man?" Cliff laughed. He shrugged nonchalantly. 

"I don't even know if beer cans float in water," he continued. "Maybe we should test it." 

"Of course they float," I grumbled. "But only when they're empty." 

"But the real question is, would they support our weight?" he pondered. 

"You're seriously high, aren't you?" Dave asked, speaking slowly. I couldn't help but laugh because we weren't much better off at the moment. Lars shrugged.

"I'm just thinking."

"Well, that's a rare sight," Cliff sarcastically remarked. Dave burst into loud laughter. I buried my face in his neck, sighing. I was feeling pretty lightheaded. 

"You okay?" Dave asked, concern in his voice. I lifted my face, meeting his gaze. I smiled as he gently ran his hand through my hair. 

"Just a bit dizzy. I think I've had too much to drink." 

"Want some water? I'll get it for you." 

"I'm good, Dave." 

"Hey." He lifted my chin so I could look at him. I stared into his brown eyes, momentarily getting lost as I traced the lines of his eyes, his nose, his lips. Yeah, I was definitely high. He smiled when he noticed my gaze. "Let me take care of my girl, alright? I'll get you some water." 

"Thanks." I replied softly. He got up from the couch, and I watched him walk into Joe's kitchen. I looked away and caught Lars' gaze, who was smiling at me.

 "What're you staring at?" I asked, suddenly defensive. 

"Let me take care of my girl," he mimicked, then chuckled. "That guy's head over heels for you, isn't he?"

I blushed but didn't say anything. I smiled as Dave came back with a glass of water, handing it to me, and I drank it down in a flash. He plopped back down next to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. 

"Feeling better?" he asked, planting a sweet kiss on my forehead. I chuckled softly as he kissed my cheek and then my lips, pulling me in closer. I sighed as his hand caressed my face, his tongue playfully intertwining with mine in a more passionate kiss. 

"Find a room, you two," Cliff moaned, annoyed. "I’m not in the mood for the PDA fest."

Dave grunted, breaking our kiss and looking frustrated, but he didn't say a word. He stood up, holding my hand and guiding me out of the backyard. I followed, standing up carefully to not disturb James, who was still knocked out with his head on my lap. He led me by the hand into Joe's house, and I giggled as we stumbled into some random dark room, his lips finding mine again as he pressed me against the wall.

"I'm testing something, you know," he whispered, sending shivers down my spine as his hand rested on my waist beneath my shirt, his rough palm against my bare skin.  "Now, every time I get annoyed, I'd rather kiss you than hit someone."

"And what’s annoying you?" I asked, pulling back slightly to meet his gaze. He huffed. 

"Cliff is really getting on my nerves with his teasing. Does he think I'm just going to smother you with kisses or something?" I chuckled softly as he peppered my face with little kisses, eventually capturing my lips again, his hand firmly on my hip, pulling me closer. 

"That's just how he is," I replied in a hushed voice. "But that doesn't mean he doesn't like us."

"Hey, he straight-up told you to watch out for me. I'm the lucky one because you actually like me," he laughed. 

"And why do you like me?" I asked, genuinely curious. He let out a small huff. 

"Besides the fact that you look absolutely stunning?" he teased, and I giggled softly. He gazed into my eyes, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "I love that you never let anyone tell you what to do. And yet, you're one of the kindest girls I've ever met." He kissed my lips tenderly, then trailed his lips to my cheek and neck. "You always go out of your way to make others happy, and you see the good in everyone... You're a good person, Nore."

I could feel my cheeks flush, and I quickly looked away. Getting complimented like that was something I wasn't used to. It surprised me how he noticed all those little things; seeing myself through his eyes was a whole new perspective. 

"Plus, it's just so damn cute when you get all flustered like that," he whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. He chuckled softly, pulling back slightly and cupping my chin in his hand. "Now it's your turn to tell me why you like a loser like me." 

"You're not a loser," I frowned. "You're an amazing guitarist!" 

"Well, thanks for that," he replied sarcastically, but I could tell he genuinely appreciated the compliment. "So, you're into me because I rock on the guitar?" 

"It's not just that!" I protested. "It's just... You've been so kind to me since I got here. You never judge me, and… I feel free around you. I like that." I let out a sigh. "And even though you don't show it all the time, I know you care about others too. Plus, you're really handsome. And you smell nice," I added, and he burst into laughter as he hugged me tightly, hiding his face in the curve of my neck.

"I love you, you know?" he whispered, his voice slightly muffled. I blinked, taken aback, feeling that familiar rush of happiness in the pit of my stomach that he always managed to stir up in me. 

My insecurities tried to tell me this was all too good to be true, but how could it not be true when he was right there with me? His fingers entwined with mine, holding my hand delicately yet firmly, pressing it against the wall as his lips traced a path from my neck to my mouth. I placed my other hand on his arm, and he tightened his grip on my waist, pulling me even closer as our bodies pressed against the wall. It was impossible to contain the fire that ignited every time he touched me like this, when his tenderness suddenly escalated into an overwhelming intensity, when his lips explored mine with a hunger I had never experienced before. I broke the kiss for a moment to lock eyes with him, his gaze dark and intense in the dimly lit room. 

"I love you too, Dave," I whispered back. He simply grinned before kissing me, again, and again, and again.

🌌 MILKY WAY, 🍰 CAKE SLICE, 🚆 TRAIN for all of them? c:

eeep ** thanks dear!!

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Elanor

So, there's a running joke I have with a few friends that the first female character of each game I play - with customizable options - has to be a badass redhead called iterations of the name Lenore, which is the name of my Mass Effect protagonist. I find it hilarious that my Shepard is traveling through realms bringing chaos and a very bad personality. Luckily Ela turned out similar to Lenore only in the physical aspects, mentally they're polar opposites - well, except when it comes to falling for dorks with sarcastic approaches on life << I don't remember the first thing I decided about her, actually, it's been a while. Probably something related to her strength.

Hawke

Just like Ela, he happened very randomly. I remember approaching the game superficially in the first run, like, picking just the diplomatic options and having a mediocre time throughout the story by deciding for the "best" decisions and romancing the "wrong" character. But then I remember @underneathestars mentioned that the humorous personality was super fun and I was like "oh, so I can play as the town's fool! amazing!". Plus, another friend told me that Fenris was the best romance so I was like "yeah, why not, better than [other character]" All the right calls were made and Kerry was such a fun character to play and mentally accessorize! The first thing I decided about him was that he's just Some Dude. No particular skillset, just a big heart and a tendency to put himself in danger because of it.

Ankh

Another child of a second or third or fourth (can't remember) playthrough. I remember wanting a really fun character to engage the environment with but this time with actual competences and that is really doing her best, and more. With her, I fell in love with the game and the franchise in general. The first thing I decided about her was that everything she accomplished, she had to work for it. She isn't afraid of failure, because failure is the first thing she experiences in life and she knows how to take the best tools from it to succeed another day.

🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes?

Elanor

Coming from nobility, she has tasted many varieties of cake so she could develop preferences - and be picky about it << I would say something creamy and voluptuous, like those cakes with flavored custard and layers of puff pastry sheets, with fancy fruit on top. She's a fan of delicate scents and flavors when it comes to pastry, but it has to be decadent or else she prefers not to engage.

Hawke

He could eat any cake, really. However, his favorite is a classic: jam tart (onion and fig being his preferred choices for filling).

Ankh

She's lactose and gluten intolerant, plus she can't digest fermented aliments, so her options are very limited when it comes to eating - whenever she doesn't cut them herself because of her eating disorder. Rather than cake she's fond of small pastry. One of the best things she has ever eaten was the thedosian cousin of a cannolo, with fresh ricotta cheese, chocolate chips, and orange slices - she fell super sick after that but, eh, can't really blame her for making such a bad decision.

🚆TRAIN - what is their answer to the trolley problem?

Since the implications of the whole thing are quite complex, I'm going with the regular version (source wikipedia):

"There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two (and only two) options:

Do nothing, in which case the trolley will kill the five people on the main track.

Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.

Which is the more ethical option? Or, more simply: What is the right thing to do?"

Elanor

The right thing to do, for her, would be diverting the trolley to kill one person. Hopefully it's Darkspawn

Hawke

Same as Elanor, but he'd make sure to identify the person and take care of their family afterwards

Ankh

Among the three, she's the one that thinks about it for a while before providing an answer. Would make the trolley explode, if the distance is enough to support the idea. Hypotetically, all of the people will be harmed by the explosion but nobody - except her maybe - would die. If the distance isn't enough to plan a thing, she'd do the same as the others. Her first instinct would be looking for a third option tho.

(These are not really "it's none of my business" characters lmao)

[pankomako]

i got a new idea (never a good thing (/j))

here are some character concepts

i'll reveal the overall concept/story later, but just know that these characters are associated with vertigo, my other persona; here's some chara intros:

top left: Cassidy Verge - close friend of vertigo, kind of the pathetic lovable dork of this thing. also a huge gamer nerd and very ADHD. often fluctuates between genius and idiot. usually goes by cass.

top right: Charlotte Magenti - absolute energetic ball of sunshine, but oddly enough, can be pretty unruly and aggressive. will fight a bitch on instinct. she will gladly participate in rebellious activity if offered; sometimes causes rebellion on her own.

bottom left: Fenton Fangnail - chill stoner dude; he and charlotte are cousins. very low-key to complement charlotte's high energy, but also loves some good thrash metal and anarchy. also a bit of a klutz.

last is just some funny doodles i felt like doing lol. i came up with these dudes during the trip home n i think im already in love with them, might change some things down the line though

Willoughby: Wait, you're starting the update with THIS picture?!

Me: I wanted to show everyone your new eye colour.

I deleted the set of eyes that she and Einstein had to make room, and this was the eye on her skintone. I actually like it better. :D

Willoughby: Ah, I don't care anyway. I'm old, I don't have to worry about things.

Willoughby: But I can still get me some!

Willoughby: I love those Goldfish crackers...

Algren: Oooh I bet oo do! I bet da wittle puppy wikes da cwackers!

Well you certainly belong here, doncha?

Margaret: Just your friendly reminder that I'm still pregnant!

Look who stopped by to ring the doorbell!

Bilbo: COUSIN! I MISSED YOU!

Bao-Dur: Uh...yeah...missed you, too, dude.

Wtf?! Where did YOU come from?

Margaret: Still pregnant here!

Yeah. This isn't the half of it. I've NEVER had a sim react this poorly to pregnancy.

Margaret: Well it looks like Hillary finally learned her...ZzzZzzz...

Margaret: I'M STILL REALLY TIRED!

Me: Well...there is that loveseat right behind you.

*facepalm*

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

Nettie: Wow, Roman! You've grown! I haven't really seen much of you since you were a little kid!

Roman: Yeah. How's living with my cousin once-removed? Does he snor -

Roman: Mmf!

Me: O.o

Roman: *GRAB GRAB*

Me: O.O! Where the hell is Bao-Dur, and why is he not slapping the shit out of her? D:

This is my go to... Wilbur is my dude... I was fiddling around trying to find inspiration to play just as a gameplay save and I watched my hubby playing a Leisure Suit Larry game and I just went. "YES" that's what I want to gameplay with... I need a "Larry Laffer" in my sims game... but no he can't be Larry, he needs a glorious name. WILBUR!

He was a bit of a goof and most assuredly a bit of a man whore until @helenofsimblr let me play around with an AU Judith Robinson from her half of the KSU and they got paired up randomly. She put him in line and they've been together ever since. They make beautiful babies and he's a dork, but she loves him. He likes to read poetry to her and she likes to sing to him. They always sneak off when I'm not paying attention!!! Jude usually ends up pregs. As a Laffer he's got the fertile traits... He also has his cat Mrs. Mustachos with him too and next to Judith, Mrs. M is his number 3. He's stylized after a chimpanzee and Larry Laffer whom in my fanfic lore, is Wilbur's cousin. I adore them and when I'm in a bad mood, playing around in Wilbur's save is always going to cheer me up cause he's just funny.

His original creation date was a year or so after Sims 4 went live. He's got a whole family tree, 6 canon siblings, divorced parents, 30 or so children, and my current game is only on gen 3. I will NEVER let him or Judith or Mrs. M. die. NEVER! 20 years from now I'll still be playing around with Wilbur Laffer and his family. I will always go back to my Laffer save...always.

I also still have the trays of every child he's ever had a hand in birthing.

I asked this question in r/sims3 last week, thought I’d ask here as well.

*Doesn’t need to be a sim you’ve played nonstop, could be one you just kept coming back to, took your time with compared to your other sims, or carried over to the sequels.

Feel free to tag/reply your answer, show off a pic of the sim, and/or explain why you’ve been playing them as long as you have, or can’t seem to play them long enough.

[bivwifeybunny]

that would be fun :)

also that’s so cute :(( what a sweetie i bet he felt so cool

also yum ??? i love seeing hot ppl in public bc eye candy is the best BUT THEN I GET MAD AT MYSELF BC I DONT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO SAY ANYTHING. there’s even been times where it’s obvious that they’re also interested but i’m just a shy and anxious mess so i never do it 🥲

yee we actually were going for his 20th birthday lmao

TRUEE kinda. I mean ive never see anyone be obviously also into me so like... idk but also Im very oblivious to when people like me cause my friend's homophobic brother liked me but i had no idea till he straight up said it lol thats a story for later tho lmao but anyways im the same way but its mostly just cause when I see them Im like uhhhh they're so much cooler than me.... idk about this and then chicken out lolll especially when they're with other people around my age which like... is 99% of the time XD

[soldrawss]

Image that Thicc-Cousin-Don is seen by outsiders as this enigmatic hot boy but all the cousins are just like "lol nerd"

BASICALLY, LIKE NO FO REAL

Donald is super beefy as a teen in this au, and is not unattractive either. So like, it’s kinda common for other people to pine after him from a distance because daaaaang. But anytime someone brings it up to any of the cousins they’re all like????? Don??? Our Don??? And they’re all just so confused cause they’re pretty sure their Don got locked in the kitchen pantry this morning and there’s not even a lock on the pantry so they’re all just??? ‘Get better taste, this moron is an absolute walking mess.’

And then he starts dating Daisy, who is like a GODDESS amoung mortals like seriously, she’s so pretty and smart and funny and everyone is like “Yeah cool-cool power couple, that makes sense that two hot people would date each other” But the cousins are having an even bigger clusterfuck of ??????????? because um EXCUSE ME HOW DID THIS LEGIT DUMMY WHO CURSED OUT AN ACTUAL SIDEWALK BECAUSE IT TRIPPED HIM EARLIER GET A HOT GF LIKE IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE????? And they’re all like “Daisy, we love you and are so glad to include you in the group but like Donald??? Really??? You can do so much better.”

But Daisy just looks at Donald from across the room and watches him struggle to pull open a push door for a solid couple minutes while rapidly getting more and more angry and ridiculous and she just sighs and smiles and thinks “No, I really can’t.”

Thanks for clarifying my last doubt because I can wait for a couple of requests but i was dying for at least requesting these here comes the first. A Sonic Prompt classic x boom the classic gang gets through an anomaly to bygone island hijinx and chaos will ensue... in more than one way pairings: Sonamy with some chips of Tailsooey with an healthy sprinkle of jealousy from the Boom Adorable Dorks on the top

Thanks for the prompt! I don't believe I've done Classic Sonic cast with Boom Sonic Cast before! Here's to some imaginative thinking!

PLEASE DO NOT SEND IN ANY MORE PROMPTS. INBOX IS CLOSED. Thank you for your readership ^^ DO NOT ASK/SUBMIT AT THIS TIME.

Prompt:

Due to the powers of the Phantom Ruby, Classic Sonic and his friends were once again plunged into a chaotic, dimensional rift that sent them to a new era and world.

Landing on a dusty island, Classic Sonic looked around him, wondering where his friends were.

Finding Boom!Sonic, he had to at first dodge his attacks as Boom!Sonic thought he was some kind of sick joke by Dr. Eggman, but soon realized after finding Classic Tails, that this was another him from another world.

"Oh, whoops! Sorry about that, little buddy... umm... Yeah." he rubbed the back of his head, apologetic, but not by much.

Classic Sonic just looked at him with a light glare of annoyance, tapping his foot as though Boom!Sonic put him through a lot of trouble.

"Let's try and find his other friends, Sonic!" Boom!Tails stated, then looked between the two, "Uhh... I mean... Sonic 1 and Sonic 2!" he crossed his arms and pointed to both Sonics.

"Hey! That makes me Sonic 2!" Boom!Sonic stepped forward but Boom!Tails just patted down his protesting, playful fist and flew up high into the air, "I'll get the villagers to help us look for them!"

Classic Tails nodded, turning to Classic Sonic who just threw him a thumbs up, and Classic Sonic took off to try and explore the island.

"Woah, there! Hey! Heh... doesn't slow down and even ask for directions..? Not scared of getting lost or the dangers of a completely new playing field..?" Boom!Sonic held out a hand before putting them both to his hips and looking as though he was complaining about Classic Sonic's behavior... before then spreading his arms out wide with a big grin on his face, "This guy is me!" he was now, suddenly, convinced and went off at high speeds after him. "Wait for me, little dude!" he called out, "Haha! I'm just messin' with ya... I'll race right by ya!" he grew competitive as the two Sonics soon were engaged in some hilarious, no-excuses and no real finish lines around the island. While Classic Tails searched, he ran into Zooey, so stunned by her prettiness that he went completely like a deer in the headlights.

"Zooey!" Boom!Tails flew down, landing by Classic Tails.

"Oh, Tails." she smiled and waved sweetly, "Is this..?" She pointed to Classic Tails who gulped... mightly....

Boom!Tails laughed awkwardly, scratching a finger to the side of his face as he looked between Zooey and his littler self from another world. He bent down and patted Classic Tails's head, "He's my... uhh... Cousin! Yeah! A cousin! Isn't he... uhh... cute?" he picked up little him and held him up, but for Classic Tails, it was too close to her face.

He covered his head, then threw his twin tails up over his head as an extra level of 'safety from the pretty face'.

"Oh!" she looked at the two soft tails.

"Uhh... Haha! Family gene!" Boom!Tails waved his own twin tails, "Heheh... uhhh... We're looking for my friend's... uhh... cousins, too!" he explained.

Zooey was on board, and soon after, Boom!Tails realized that Zooey thought his 'big older cousin with little kid' skills were quite 'admirably attractive.' To where Boom!Tails practically forgot all about Classic Tails's friends and finding them, but instead, tried to impress Zooey with how 'good he was with little kids.'

Classic Tails got fed up being treated like a child, and flew up to run away, going after his friends--even if it meant by himself!"

"No, no, wait, wait! Come on!" Boom!Tails grabbed his feet, trying to pull him back down, "Okay, okay! I know I'm being selfish, but this is the most she's noticed and praised me the entire time I've known her!"

Classic Tails glared back over his shoulder at him.

"... Okay, since this weekend, but plllleeeassseee!" He tugged to pull Classic Tails back, "I... nneeedd.... youuuuuu-wahh!" he took off into the sky as Classic Tails propelled them into the air.

Getting a high vantage point, Classic Tails spotted Classic Amy up a tree, being with Boom!Amy, trying to fight off some robotic Eggbots that were circling the tree like alligators to a dangling piece of meat.

Later, Zooey was captured by Eggman, and much like the Sonic Classic games, Boom!Tails and Classic Tails were able to save her like Sonic would Amy and take down Egghead.

She gave a kiss to Boom!Tails's cheek, and hearing Classic Tails fly off, licking his glove and slicking his three hair strands back to look 'fine' he held out his cheek for her too, fluffing up and tugging out his cheek hair as though showing he was prepping for it.

She giggled, and gave him a light kiss on the cheek too as Classic Tails spun slowly down to the ground with animated hearts around him.

"Hehe, you and your Cousin are funny... oh!" she noticed that Boom!Tails had also fallen to the ground, animated hearts around him as well.

"O-oh really? I hadn't noticed..." he shook out his head and then gave his littler, alternative dimension self a high five.

Classic Amy pointed in the direction she and Boom!Amy had found Knuckles and Classic Knuckles, but heading up the volcano, they found Classic Sonic and Boom!Sonic still in a race.

Their reckless behavior, and Eggman--thinking he's seeing double and trying to destroy both of them before they 'keep multiplying' and "Giving me a headache!"--fired back at them which set off the volcano.

Boom!Knuckles and Classic Knuckles were sparring, when they suddenly had to climb fast to avoid the rising lava.

Boom!Amy and Classic Amy worked together to save them, but found each other 'basically switching places' with the Echidnas from two different worlds.

"Oh great!" Boom!Amy caught Classic Amy in her arms, hugging her close as the lava increased around them. "I don't want to be reduced to a Damsel in Distress trope, ahhh..!" she cried out as Boom!Sonic and Classic Sonic, finally putting their race on a temporary pause--"Haha! You're quitting?! What... Amy? Ah... alright, but this is just part of the challenge! First ones to save their Amys gets a headstart!" Boom!Sonic lifted a leg up in synchronization with Classic Sonic, "Not that I'll need one~" Boom!Sonic winked to the camera and dove down, using his enerbeam, which surprised Classic Sonic, to combine his beam with Amy's, and helping pulling both girls out as Classic Sonic helped them race up the side wall of the Volcano and took out falling rocks on the way up.

The Sonic's were finally told that the finish line was the portal back home, Boom!Tails and Classic Tails having figured out how to channel back the Phantom Ruby, as it was officially declared a tie by Boom!Amy.

"What!? That's not fair, you blinked, admit it!" Boom!Sonic stomped up to her, pointing a finger as she just lowered her eyes, confidently.

"Couldn't have, I have a bias for staring very intently at you~" she flicked his nose and then looked down to Classic Amy as Boom!Sonic stopped the 'warbling doorknob' affect that happened to his nose, clamping it down. "And that's how it's done." she let her younger, alternative dimension self slap her hand and then wink, adjusting her skirt and strolling into the portal as though off to catch her a man!

Classic Tails spun around Zooey, taking her hands and bowing to her, about to leave when he flew back and kissed her cheek, covering his blushing face before kicking himself into the portal as he flew.

Zooey giggled, "He reminds me so much of you~" she cooed and flicked the top strand of hair on his head, making Boom!Tails cover his head with his arms and blush madly, chuckling awkwardly in his flustered state as well, mimicking Classic Tails's bashfulness to a 'T'.

A Tails, 'T'.

The two Knuckles slammed their mittened hands into each other's. "You were a worthy mirror-me." Boom!Knuckles stated, "I'm so glad I got to see myself through my own figment of imaginated self-reflection. Truly... I am my ultimate teacher." he bowed respectfully to the methaphor he felt he conjured while mediating to find self-appreciation, fulfilment, and understanding of his self.

Classic Knuckles... just threw a thumb back to this guy and looked t the others, adjusting his cowboy hat as though saying, 'Is this guy okay?' and then jumping back into the portal, done with that mayhem and chaos...

Boom!Sonic walked back with Boom!Amy, hands over his head as he stretched, "You... don't think we'll see them again... do you?"

Boom!Amy giggled, "What? Little baby forms of you and me?" she teased, as he flinched, turning around and glaring at her with a slowly raising eyebrow.

"Whaaaat are you implying?"

She laughed and waved it off, "I meant through pictures, Sonic!" she then looked away, hands behind her back, "Well... I do now." she stuck her tongue out to the camera.

(Got more into my idea of the ZooeyxTails stuff, but I think this is cute and I tried to keep it mostly in character XD Sticks isn't in 'Rise of Lyric' game with bygone island, at least, that was the reference I used, since the t.v show mostly calls it 'hedgehog village' or something like that? Anyway, and no jealousy here besides Boom!Tails using Classic Tails to get more attention from Zooey, haha XD I hope it was still fun for you all!)

Thoughts on Robots (2005)

I've got an essay to write and read papers for, so why not watch a film that I loved as a kid? Join me in my thoughts on Robots (2005)

This one's a long one so strap in.

I only learnt fairly recently that it's fucking Ewan McFuckingGregor voicing the protagonist in this film.

I watched this film so much as a kid and I didn't realise? How the fuck did I get into university?

RIP blue sky

Even the pigeons are robots

He's so happy about being a dad

The doors the shape of a lightbulb

The saxophone at "making a babies the fun part" how saucy

"I don't need to see the directions" every person ever with IKEA manuals

Rodney Copperbottom. What a name.

"this won't hurt a bit son" oh my fucking god

Hand-me-downs from cousin Jeffrey? What happened to him?

That poor drum

Oh god Bigweld's voice brings back memories and TIM. TINY TIM

The door's kinda creepy

That lil robot with the plate is me

This is where shit hits the fan I think, I don't remember

Fucking hell that really is Ewan McGregor

The small kid in a big city feeling, that's me whenever I'm in London

IS THAT FUCKING ROBIN WILLIAMS as Pinwheel Fender??? (Just looked it up and it is oml)

Pinwheel needs his money

Fucking tinman from wizard of Oz?

The garbled talking down a microphone ugh

My travel sick body would not be able to handle any of the trip to Bigweld Industry

It's always the small seemingly sweet ones that are so mean

Oh god it's him. It's Ratchet - I remember having a crush on him (this really foreshadowed my future fictional crushes - almost all of them being either the villain or just arrogant in a hot way)

Nice, eye of the Tiger playing

Oh no

Oopie. Falling through a window

The magnetisation of Rodney is dragging everything with him

So many layers to the city

Ooooo Underground by Tom Waits 1983, this song brings back memories. I do prefer the movie's cover (as expected)

The break time being literal seconds

Of course Ratchet's mom is a fucking spider

He's just doing what his mother wants him to do (she's emotionally manipulating him with what threats of doing the same to him as she did to his father)

This films fucking dark for 6 year olds, Jesus

Fiting over a foot with elegant music in the background, hilarious

Spanish football voice box, I remember this making me laugh so much

"I can't never find parts of my size" same dude

It's her (Piper - another character I had a crush on as a kid)

How did I not realise how gay I was as a kid? Like having a crush on the literal villain AND the cute sister of Fender

Piper's such a dork I love her

The good news is that he's been outmoded? Oof

THERES A FUCKING STAR WARS REFERENCE IN THIS FILM

That's one thicc ass

THATS NOT THE MEAN STEPMOTHER FROM A CINDERELLA STORY IS IT (just looked it up, that's Jennifer fucking Coolidge, the stepmom from another film that I loved as a kid)

So many iconic people in this film

Poor lamppost, the white tape where he'd died

"Only those with insurance..." No here has insurance buddy, if they did they could probably afford to buy parts

Such a people pleaser (same)

A literal operation as a reference to the game operation, this film is brilliant

A toilet saying you're number one. Don't know how to feel about that

Ratchet's mum is such a narcissist

Why does Rodney look kinda good in that outfit??

Au reservoir??? The incorrect French hurts

Singing in the rain reference?? Nice

The sweeper!! No!!!

"BAD BOT BUSTS BALL"???? they knew exactly what they were doing with that wording

The mini guillotine

The amount of dominoes on the floor must have taken ages

Mans is just surfing the domino waves

Good piece of advice? Give up.. solid advice right there

Sad talk time let's goo

The subtle bagpipes when Robin Williams is speaking with a Scottish accent

Revolution time babyyy

Robots ran so Avengers Endgame could walk

Wonderbot is so strong for such a tiny thing

"Herb Special edition" my heart

This gives me Tony Stark and Peter Parker vibes (in the fact that in fics, Peter is almost always the successor to Stark Industries)

An impromptu drag show with Fender nice

Overall score: 6/10 good film, very nostalgic

Film recommendations welcome!
