[froggies-furbys]

Would you accept her valentine?

[iluvloganhowlett]

I need more hugh and reader PLEASE he’s so cute pattotie which is such a contrast from Logan lmao

CUTIES ✮⋆˙

in which ryan reynolds has a private snap story where he secretly films cute moments between you and hugh

warnings: none, just fluff!

do NOT ask how i thought of this…

the camera started by showing ryan, a bit too up close and personal for the average person’s liking. “hey nerds, welcome back to ‘i-spy with ry-ry.’ today, i just saw hugh and y/n make their way to hair and makeup together so we’re gonna follow them and see where the wind takes us. hopefully that won’t be to a small, crappy bathroom stall..”

alas, the camera flips and you and hugh can be shown skipping off to hair and makeup, babbling about whether or not a tomato should or should not be considered a fruit.

“baby when have you ever heard of tomatoes in fruit salad or in a fruit smoothie or when have you ever asked for fruit and were handed a cup of tomatoes?”

“never… but-“

“so then i rest my case, thank you very much.”

you squeal, running a little to catch up to hugh as he rounds the last corner to hair and makeup.

“hugh!” you call, landing a soft and playful punch on his back, causing him to swiftly grab you and tickle your sides.

as you giggle uncontrollably, the camera flips back to ryan, who unexpectedly has tears welling up in his eyes. “i’m sorry it’s just- god they’re adorable. they make me wanna have more children.”

your giggles can still be heard in the background, and for the next chunk of time, all that is shown is a rather unflattering angle of ryan watching you and hugh.

as soon as your voice can be heard again, ryan flips the camera back.

“y’know it’s not very nice to hold others against their will like that,” you mutter, looking up at hugh with a playfully-angered look.

he shoves you, causing you to lose your balance ever so slightly, “aw get outta here! you love me!”

you tilt your heard, grabbing hugh’s hand as the two of you swing your joint arms back and forth, “maybe.”

hugh’s head snaps toward you, brows high, “maybe?!”

you only smirk, “maybe.”

he shakes his head, “you’re a little shit i hope y’know that.”

“eh you love me,” you repeat, stealing his words.

ryan zooms in on your faces, and hugh can be seen clearly as his eyes—full of nothing but love and adoration—flicker between your eyes and your lips.

you close the small space between you two, leaning up on your tippy-toes and pressing your lips to his. the kiss is slow and passionate, making ryan squeal out loud; louder than he thought he had.

you two break apart, heads darting to wherever the sound came from.

“ryan what the hell?!” you exclaim, a bright smile on your face as you tilt your head.

hugh can be seen with a twisted face, looking his best friend up and down.

“alright i can explain-“ ryan pleads as if he’s in a movie, but hugh has already made his way towards the camera, snatching it out of ryan’s hand.

you follow suit, hugh’s hand on the small of your back to guide you. you lean up, almost choking when you read the title of the story, “ryan are you fucking forreal? ‘i-spy with ry-ry?”

“i-“

“you’re a strange man…” hugh states, wrapping his arm fully around you waste now to guide you the opposite direction from ryan, actually making your way to hair and makeup.

as soon as your backs are turned, ryan flips the camera to himself, “alright everyone, that’s it for todays episode of i-spy with ry-ry, stay tuned for-“

“ryan shut ya damn mouth, man!”

“bye-“ *camera cuts*

ok i’m actually satisfied with this bc 1) it’s veryyy original 2) tumblr deleted this whole thing and i had to rewrite it from memory🤦🏽‍♀️

That’s great, I’ve actually been thinking about the same thing as I go along with this! I’m really curious as to how your ocs would even react to receiving the kisses themselves!

Well here you go for that! (I’m not drawing their reactions-)

How my OCs would react to being kissed!

Starfruit Milkshake only wants kisses from Snake Tooth

Snake Tooth only wants kisses from Starfruit Milkshake

Bubbly Milkshake would cover her face since she would be blushing a lot

Burnt Caramel would probably purify himself but then give you a pat on the head

Rex Cookie would say thanks and not act like she’s happy but her tail would be wagging so she kinda gives herself away

Sugary Jello will be giggling a lot and asking how did she taste. Don’t worry she’s a bit of a freak at times

Cinnamon Spider is grinning like a idiot and will probably ignore any illegal stuff you do for a bit

Red Fruit will act confident but will internally be questing if your the one and wether or not he should introduce you to his grandma

Blackberry Shade is chuckling and then peppering your face with kisses, she has to one up you.

Powdered Basil is softy smiling and giving you a kiss in return… you don’t know how much that means to him

Simmering Onion won’t notice you kissed him until a few minutes later, after that he’ll be real embarrassed

Grilled Tomato is smiling and giving you a big old hug, you probably both fall after she tried to lift you up

Scorched Garlic will smile but kindly ask you to not do that again, not because it makes him uncomfortable but because he doesn’t feel like he deserves it…

Bubbling Oil smiles at you and will ask if she can kiss you back, if you say yes then she will kiss you back, leaving you with a warm and joyful feeling

Adele Penguin doesn’t like kisses but hugs are always appreciated since they’re are super cuddly!

Wild Basil is tricky, I mean if you kissed him I think he would be shocked and either A- keep you around at all times or B (and what most likely will happen) he will shove you away and run off.

Barbecue "Dragon" will try to not show he’s blushing by acting high and mighty and that he let you kiss him

Gran-Berry she will only accept either forehead or cheek kisses due to her age but she will be very happy

Minty Snail is stuttering a lot but will ultimately hug you

Dark Apple he will punch you if you kissed him. No kisses for him. But maybe a fist bump or a side hug will work

Tabby Cat gets no kisses, but they will sleep on your lap, not as a sign of affection but because they are very eppy

Pink Mantis will be giggling and writing you lots of love letters

Blushing Snail won’t accept kisses, they will basically shrink down into their cloak if you do

Emperor Caterpillar will give you a lazy grin and offer a date to you

Peach Novius will try to complement you but will be stuttering to much

Leaf Sheep Slug would be blushing if he didn’t have to worry about a crazy ex, so instead of being all giddy he’s going to probably protect you from Blazing Spice

Adenosine Cookie is certainly interesting. The fact you got close to them is crazy in the first place, and since their face is hidden it would be in their hand that got kisses, which is more impressive so honestly you’d probably get a compliment before they leave, they are the type to commit to stuff

Water Cookie is a minor so no kisses, but a hug would be good

Salt Water is a minor so no kisses but a high five will do

Sugar Water is a minor so no kisses and nothing else.

Snake Skin will chuckle and give you some stollen money after he quickly flirts with you

Weeping Begonia will flirt with you while sneakily stealing stuff from you. Him giving it back or not is the true question

Purple Mold will be a little confused but will ultimately be super chill with it

White Flower won’t have much of a reaction but hopefully you didn’t kiss her on the lips, she has a parasite that wouldn’t mind switching bodies

Blazing Spice would be flattered that you’d kiss him but unfortunately his heart belongs to another… which might be a good thing for you since he’s a bit crazy

Easy Men Pranksters

How easy company men prank

Richard Winters:

I feel like he would do the most unnoticeable prank, like move an item one inch to the side. I'm sure he would think it was funny, he would've seen someone do it on facebook reels lmao. He tries it on Nix, who does not notice. But every time Nix walks into the room, Dick has a good chuckle to himself, knowing what he did.

Lewis Nixon:

He would throw a party and say he put out spiked punch. Turns out is wasn't spiked punch, just normal juice and fruit. He just wanted to weed out the fake bitches who pretend to get drunk. But that's not the true reason he did the prank. No way is he sharing his collection of alcohol, if you want to get drunk BYO.

Harry Welsh:

I think he would try to prank Lew and Dick. When they are hanging out without him, he calls the house and asks if the fridge is running. But jokes on him, he didn't turn off caller ID. "Harry, please stop calling the house. If you want to come over, just come over." Tries to pretend it wasn't him that called. He tried to convince Kitty to prank call the house so he doesn't look suspicious, but again forgot to turn off caller ID and it's his phone she has.

Ronald Speirs:

Leaves a horse head in the persons bed. Doesn't know the difference between a death threat and a prank.

"You should've seen his face."

"Speirs he had a heart attack."

"Yeah, ahaha, classic."

Please don't let this man prank.

Carwood Lipton:

The most harmless prankster. Like you don't get the prank. He has to explain it.

"Come over to the window and look at all these deer!"

"Where?"

"Got you!!"

"What?"

"You've been punked son!"

"I'm confused."

"There were never deer!!"

Oh Lip no. That's so bad. BOOOOO ahahah.

George Luz:

Loves getting pranked more than pranking. But he always is trying to get people to prank him, so he never get tricked. 100% would sneak into your house and replace all of your family photos with just pictures of himself. He has especially gone to JCpenney to get those hilarious awkward family photos, but it's all just him duplicated. It's a family of Luz's!

Joe Toye:

He's a mean prankster. One of those guys who has fake bugs and insects and tricks you into looking at what's in his hands. Also will hide around the house in the dark just to scare you. You're so used to it, that when you come home you have to scope out each room, only to find he actually went out for a drink and you're home alone. You call him and tell him what you have just done for the past hour and he thinks it's the funniest thing he has ever heard. Will definitely brag about it to the boys.

Bill Guarnere:

Classic prankster. Cling wrap on the toilet, cling wrap in the door way, putting everything in jello, wrapping the room in tinfoil. Causes the most mayhem and the biggest clean ups. He spends more time on the prank than the reaction is worth. Spent a whole night putting post it notes on your car, only to find out it was the neighbours and now they are pissed.

Joe Liebgott:

100% buy you those fake lotto tickets and let you believe it for the longest time. He would get Web countless times with it. Every time the man falls for it and Lieb just finds it so funny. He let's Web call all of his family members every time he "wins". It happens so often that the family members on the phone know it's a prank and try to explain it to him.

David Webster:

None of his pranks have ever been successful. OR when he does pull pranks he accidentally gets himself. He does the cling wrap on the toilet, forgets about it, pees all over the ground. Fills a room with water cups, forgets about it and walks into said room and tips over all of the cups. Like this man just can't win. Poor guy.

Buck Compton:

The only prank he does in the warm bucket prank. He is convinced it will work every time. It never does. He literally does tests, he's so invested on getting it to work. It's basically become an experiment for him. He tries out different water temps, different vessels he puts the water in, how deep he puts the hand in the water. He has a little notebooks of each time he has tried the prank and the method he used.

Eugene Roe:

He's a cute prankster. He opens two boxes of cereal and switches the bags. So you think you are getting lucky charms, but instead you get frosted flakes. Gene thinks it is the funniest thing seeing sleepy Babe questioning every thing in existence as frosted flakes appear out of the lucky charms box. Babe still being half asleep just shrugs and tucks into his breakfast. Gene has to explain the prank to him later.

Babe Heffron:

Does the, "oh yeah I put premium air into the tires." To Gene. Gene is losing his mind, thinking babe paid $100 for air. Also has a bunch of fake items, like vomit and dog poo that he gets Gene with all the time. "Gene the cats puked all over the lap top!!" Poor Gene is stressed to the max with Babe lmao.

Don, Skip and Penk:

The trio is trioing. If there is one group that is forever pranking, it's these lot. Whether it's each other or their friends, they are always down for a cheeky prank. Fill a room with ball pit balls, foam, balloons. Breaks into your house and turn it into a full out haunted house. These boys are hard out, it's go big or go home. Nothing is off the table, they will invest life savings into a good prank. Watch your backs they are after you, they will punk you. They seriously talk about starting and producing their own punked series. 100% has a prank youtube channel that blows up.

(Mis)Adventures of little Wednesday-aka Wednesday’s mirror image niece

“Misfits stick together”

Lunch time. Little Wednesday entered the cafeteria with her brother GomezJr and his friends Koda and Tyler. Ruthie was home sick. They saw Dayton sitting alone. They walked over to sit with him

Koda: okay if we sit with you?

Dayton: oh! Yes. My mom was really mad you guys came to my match

Koda: that dumb

Dayton: yeah. She said you guys were too loud and obnoxious

Tyler: as if she and Aiyon’s mom weren’t screaming at everything

Little Wednesday: what do you have for lunch today?

Dayton: peanut butter and jelly sandwich, apple slices and cheese and crackers. I have a apple juice box too

Little Wednesday: GJ and I have egg salad sandwiches. Auntie Weenie makes the best egg salad! I have cheese puffs and GJ has the crunchy kind.

GomezJr: we got oranges and fruit punch.

Koda: I have kalua pork and rice. And sauerkraut.

Tyler: I have a bean burrito and lettuce

Dayton: so simple. -he chuckled- usually you guys have such fancy lunches

Little Wednesday: yeah, huh? Auntie Weenie has meetings all day so she made egg salad. Since she knows we love it too she made us sandwiches.

GomezJr: I hope you didn’t get in trouble with your mom because we were so loud

Koda: yeah. We sorry

Dayton: my dad put her in her place. He really enjoyed that you were there to cheer me on. I was so surprised to hear such a big cheer when I scored. Then I saw you guys there! Aiyon’s mom was mad you didn’t cheer for him. She really got my mom going

Little Wednesday: we told her Aiyon was a bully. His mom said her previous angel couldn’t possibly be a bully.

Dayton: that sounds like Mrs Rafkon. His father Zayto is never around. He’s always away working. Mrs Rafkon is having an affair with the chef who acts like Aiyon’s dad

Koda: that not nice at all! He never call? My dad go away sometimes. He always call

Dayton: nope

Little Wednesday: how can she do that? My Grandma and Grandpa would never think of cheating! My mama always calls papa when she’s away on book tours with her clients. Auntie Weenie hates making phone calls and FaceTime but she always calls and texts Auntie Eenie. She even writes letters!

Dayton: we need to plan another pot luck lunch. I can bring jello and cottage cheese again. That’s about all my dad and I can get away with bringing

Tyler: Yes! Don’t feel bad. That was genius! And really good.

Little Wednesday: I agree! You, Dayton can tell us what you want to eat and we will bring it

Dayton: Really? I really like the honey glazed walnuts Miss Idgie makes. Speaking of which? Where is Ruthie?

Little Wednesday: she is home sick

Favorite flavor of monster? (Looking for some new ones to try)

i haven't exactly tried that many flavors but my favorite is probably ultra red?

kinda goofy i know but it's like, a fruit punch flavor. meaning red jello. the red can of monster truly tastes like Red

[toadagere]

I think one of the hardest things about taking care of two vampires who regress, is their blood cravings. I find that having cherry or strawberry jello and Kool aid (or any other fruit drink that's red in color) can usually help curve the hunger. However, here recently, I've started adding the same flavor of fruit punch, instead of water, to the jello and that has worked great so far! But I found a nice easy recipe for fake blood that you can drink, so when I get the ingredients to make them, I'll update how it goes! Hopefully Gabriel and Trevor like them!

Been seein this everywhere on TikTok & it looked so good & refreshing so I made my own! It’s called Hwachae. It’s Korea originated & it’s basically a fruit bowl meets punch collab😋 Perfect to eat/drink for breakfast or after a long walk without much to eat or drink & even better as a midnight snack that’s healthy but also gets you filled up quick with all the sprite & fruits mixed lol You can use whatever you want to make yours how you like & add or remove ingredients but make sure to get a good sized bowl 🥣 . Mine has a mix of nesquik strawberry milk 🥛, sprite 🥤, just a small scoop of strawberry frosty from Wendy’s cause I’m fat lol, & ice cubes, with strawberries 🍓 , watermelon 🍉 peaches 🍑 one strawberry 🍓 jello cup, & bananas 🍌 & mix it up let the ice cubes 🧊 get it nice and ice cold ❄️ & there you have it 🤤

[liminalpebble]

What flavor Gatorade are you getting new bestie and can she still taste?

Heyyyy sweetheart,

I went with a fine vintage of classic cherry...or...red..whatever the red one is. I mean, I guess it's cherry? Maybe it's fruit punch? Peb says it kind of tastes like melted cherry jello. She'll be okay. She's a tough cookie. Every now and then I tussle her hair and tell her so.

Ever notice how the red flavor is always the best? Starburst, skittles, jelly beans, licorice... ? Sorry, beautiful, I'm rambling. I'm just so excited to talk to you....ummm.

Anyway...I tried making her some grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup because it's what Wayne always made for me when I was under the weather. BUT...she has banished me from the kitchen because I was too busy wailing along to Ace of Spades to notice the food was burning.

But, good news, she smelled the burning! So hey! Sliver linings, right?

Uhhh...I...*blushes and smiles with dimples* Can we like...um...hang out later? I play at the Hideout on Tuesday if you wanna come.

XO🤘

[kaaaaaaarf]

top five jello flavors or box juice

I don't really eat jello, so box juice:

orange

fruit punch

peach

mango pineapple

apple

ask me my top 5 anything

[crossover-enthusiast]

It's just

It's supposed to be a fruit punch drink mix

It tastes completely like pears that have been marinating in lime jello powder

I love it so much

Pfff

[tinywitchgoblin]

As a scientist, I can confirm. However, I am a biologist, so I also want to eat the agar plates that are meant to grow bacteria. Forbidden jello. One of them is fruit punch flavored (MSA), another is black raspberry (EMB). The possibilities are endless

a "fun fact" i read as a child is that pure honey never spoils, to the point where honey from ancient egyptian tombs was found to still be edible

i used to think about this, and imagine a poor intern who was strong-armed into putting in their one human mouth something was made literally thousands of years ago, just to make sure it could be safely eaten

but having since met scientists and having learned what freaks they are, if they did put this to the test, i am VERY confident that every single archaeologist in the room was duking it out over who got the honor of putting their tongue on that mummy's dusty old bee goo.

[neo-contemporaryfailure]

In 1966, Jack deals with discomfort after being brought in to fix his struggling mentor's choreography on her first show independent from her husband, and meets Peter Burnett, a charming stage manager who is the son of a notable producer and director.

MARY’S PENTHOUSE 1966. It is a slightly lively party. Slightly. There are various actors about.

The festive atmosphere is slightly marred by MARY, who is nodding off on the sofa.

Across the room is BERT. Bert is glaring daggers at MARY while ROD talks at him.

About are other faces, WYATT, a flagrantly homosexual man slightly older than Anne, is meandering with ANNE and their adult son, PETER.

We also see ANNE’s current fiance, TIM Garfield, who is listening to their conversation but about 4 drinks in.

LOUIS Curtis is sitting on the ottoman chatting to MAURICE.

Everyone has a glass of vile tasting overly boozy punch and almost everyone has a cigarette.

STANDING against the wall, as far as he can from everyone else, is JACK. Jack neither has a cigarette nor a glass. He is watching the room with disinterest and maybe a bit of anxiety.

BERT I'll grab you for the next one, Rod. I promise.

BERT excuses himself and crosses to JACK. He gestures for him to follow and the two go into the dining room.

The dining room table is covered in a buffet style of mid-60s delights. An absurd amount of Jello and aspic. Shrimp cocktail. Some weird mayo based salad served out of a pineapple. All sorts of food in hues of green, yellow, and red, and the big bowl of orangish colored punch, which is mostly gone.

A few people hang out here, talking and smoking or picking at the food.

One, SANDY is happy to see Jack.

BERT Could you do me a favor?

JACK If you're going to ask me to leave–

BERT Could you fix another bowl of punch?

JACK What's in it?

BERT Whatever fruit juice we have in the pantry and your choice of liquor, I've just been winging it. I'd do it myself but I really want to… get Mary out of the living room.

JACK nods and BERT goes back into the other room.

JACK takes a bottle of vodka out of the liquor cabinet and pours it into the bowl.

SANDY You did a pretty good job coming in at the last minute, Jack. We appreciate it.

JACK I'm glad my name isn't going to be on it.

She gives a “what can you do” smile.

SANDY We tried our hardest, Jack. So did you. So did they.

JACK No one can fucking dance, it's ridiculous. Don't even know how they got casted.

SANDY (Warm) “Cast,” Jack, the word is “Cast.”

She gives him a kiss on the cheek and goes into the other room. JACK goes into the kitchen and opens the pantry. He sorts around until he finds a bottle of pineapple juice. He puts it on the counter, fishes around for a can opener, opens it, brings it back into the other room and pours it in the punchbowl.

BERT enters, half carrying MARY.

JACK Better than dopesick.

BERT doesn't say anything and exits towards the hallway.

BERT returns a few moments later.

JACK You made sure she was sitting up?

BERT gives him a look. He ladles himself a glass of punch and sits down.

BERT She told me you fixed the show, Jack. You should be happy. Her first show alone, she couldn't do it without you. Bet you're really happy about that. (tasting the punch) We have some grapefruit juice in the fridge, would you?

JACK enters the kitchen and opens the fridge. He takes out the bottle of grapefruit juice and returns. Everyone's in the living room. JACK pours half the carton of grapefruit juice into the bowl.

Jack returns to the living room, he stops in the entryway, near ROD and LOUIS. Everyone is watching MAURICE.

MAURICE And that's when I said, that's not a swimming pool that's my wife!

Laughter! ROD (To Jack, quiet) I haven't seen his wife in 10 years. I think he might've murdered her.

LOUIS (To Jack, even more quiet) That poor woman.

WYATT addresses the crowd.

WYATT I really want to thank you all for what I can only describe as my favorite production to work on in 15 years.

Knowing laughter.

WYATT And I want to thank Mary, wherever she is, for throwing us this bash even if she couldn't be bothered to show up to rehearsals!

More laughter as JACK goes back into the dining room. Rod and Louis follow JACK goes and serves himself a glass of the punch but doesn't drink it.

LOUIS Are you even old enough to drink?

ROD picks at the food.

ROD Jello, jello, jello.

JACK That one right there? The light green one with the limes? Try it. It's surprisingly good.

ROD I don't have a death wish, kid.

LOUIS laughs.

LOUIS Thank you for saving our show, kid.

JACK shrugs.

ROD I'd never expect from how you spoke to the dancers that you're real humble and shy.

JACK I'm not.

LOUIS You seem shy to me.

ROD and LOUIS laugh.

LOUIS You want a cigarette, kid?

JACK I don't smoke.

ROD Of course you don't.

ANNE enters. ANNE Maurice is telling the story about Bob Fosse again.

LOUIS Oh, God.

ROD He tells it all wrong.

ROD and LOUIS go into the living room. ANNE pours herself another glass of punch.

ANNE It's a different color now. How special. I'm sure everyone's thanked you tonight, so I'm not going to. But you seem real miserable for someone who is about to blow up. You'll have a Tony before ‘70, mark my words.

JACK takes the carton of grapefruit juice and goes into the kitchen. He puts it into the fridge. He pours his glass of punch into the sink and fills it up with water.

BERT enters. He is carrying a plate of deviled eggs. He puts them down on the counter and opens the fridge. He takes out a can of beer.

BERT No one's touching these. I guess real food doesn't compare to jello.

JACK Jello is the perfect food.

BERT You're nuts. You intend to stay here tonight?

JACK Where else would I go? Sandy's pissed at me and Ben told me to go fuck myself.

BERT leans against the counter. He takes a swig of the beer and looks at Jack.

BERT You need to learn to negotiate your salary. They should've paid you a lot more to come in and fix it.

JACK I didn't fix anything.

BERT I know that. But do they?

JACK They'll figure it out eventually.

BERT I don't doubt it for a minute… Jack, I'll loan you a couple hundred to get you into an apartment. Having you hang out around here is only causing problems.

JACK I don't have work, unless Mary’s working. I wouldn't be able to pay rent.

BERT She has a problem, kid.

JACK I'm not blaming her.

BERT You love to bite the hand that feeds you.

JACK I didn't say I'm blaming you.

BERT (Quiet, intense) Alex, how many times have I kicked you out of this house? You want to count it out for me? Go slow, use your fingers if you have to. I don't want you here, Mary is the only reason I put up with you. You came in and made sure no one will ever work with Mary again. She might finally be on my side on day. You need to be prepared.

JACK You can't call me Alex anymore. It's legally changed.

BERT I can call you whatever I want.

BERT leaves. JACK grabs the plate of eggs off the counter. He leans over the sink and eats them.

Enter PETER, he's about Jack's age, twinkish, educated, and well-bred.

PETER There's a whole party going on out there. With some very sweet punch.

JACK puts the plate of eggs into the sink and plays it cool.

JACK I can't look anyone in the eyes.

PETER Why?

JACK Because it looks terrible.

PETER Well, if she didn't want it to look terrible, she shouldn't have given you only 2 weeks to fix it.

JACK They're all going to blame her.

PETER What? For it looking good?

JACK It's awful. I had no idea what I was doing.

PETER Maybe. But it was better than her's.

JACK No it wasn't.

PETER And everyone owes you. It's a Maurice Travlian show, it was never going to be good.

JACK is suspicious.

JACK Who even are you? What did you do?

PETER My father's the producer, the mother's the director, my uncle's the composer, and my father's lover is the lyricist, so I'm probably something or other... I just graduated, my mother wanted to show me how a broadway show works before getting me my first job on one.

JACK Ah.

PETER How old are you?

JACK pauses to do some mental math.

PETER Last time I saw you, Mary said you were 26. But last year, you said you were 26, and two years before that you were 18.

JACK shakes his head.

JACK 21. I want people to take me seriously.

PETER You might not believe it, but no one is having a hard time taking you seriously tonight. You might be the most serious person at this party. You're even brooding in the kitchen stuffing eggs into your mouth. That's very serious.

JACK starts to leave.

PETER Look, I hate old people's parties. Where do you live? We can share a cab.

JACK Here. Mostly.

PETER (Disappointed) Oh. You're Mary's lover. That makes sense.

JACK That's an awful thing to say.

PETER So you're not?

JACK No! Fuck off.

PETER Good, because I was about to invite you over, I wouldn't want to do that if it caused drama.

JACK You're welcome to invite me over, but I'm not coming.

PETER Why not? You really want to hang out here all night?

PETER'S NEPO-BABY APARTMENT. Jack is sitting on Peter's sofa, watching him as he puts on a record.

PETER Where are you from?

JACK Here.

PETER Really?

JACK No. But I wish I was.

PETER sits next to him.

PETER It's not anything special.

JACK Yes it is. Believe me.

PETER You're right. It is. I shouldn't pretend. Can I be honest with you, sweetheart? My parents asked me to be friendly with you tonight so you don't get bitter about not getting credit. But I brought you here to sleep with you, which they didn't ask me to do.

JACK That would be odd. If they did.

PETER I can never tell when a dancer is a homo, because they kinda all are. Do you like this album? I love Connie. She's the best singer in history.

After a moment, JACK nods.

JACK I like music.

PETER You're a real radical.

PETER gets up.

PETER You want something to eat?

JACK I'm fine. How'd you afford this place?

PETER My dad pays for it. My dad's a homo. He feels guilty about leaving my mother because he was her one true love. So now he pays for everything. Kinda makes me crazy. But, I like my apartment. I used to have a roommate, and he just.. left, went to Europe… so it's all mine now. It's kinda lonely. I'm going to have a glass of overpriced whiskey my dad bought me, would you like a glass?

JACK No thanks.

PETER Oh, shit you don't drink?

JACK I do, just… not right now.

PETER laughs and pours himself a drink. JACK takes a blister pack of pills out and pops two, then quickly puts it away.

PETER What'd you take?

JACK Just some uppers.

PETER So you don't drink but you take uppers. That's really interesting. How do you come down? Pot? Valium?

JACK No. I try to never come down.

PETER (amused) You must never sleep then.

JACK is enjoying this.

JACK If I could I'd spend all my time in the studio.

PETER Why?

JACK Because maybe then I'd be able to fix that fucking show.

PETER You're so fixated on that.

JACK What else am I supposed to think about?

PETER I don't know. You tell me. What are we doing?

JACK sorta shifts away uncomfortably. PETER gets the deal and gets up. He looks through his records.

JACK I don't know.

PETER What's– uh, Mary like when she's not all doped up?

JACK Doped up? You're fucking crazy.

PETER My dad's the producer, he talks. And I'm not an idiot. I know what nodding off looks like.

JACK Actually, maybe I should have a drink.

PETER pours him one, hands it over, and goes back to looking through his albums.

PETER I like that you don't ask for things. Do you like Elvis?

JACK He's fine. I really just listen to whatever's on the radio.

PETER Then you're fine with Connie? I'm always so nervous.

JACK downs the drink.

JACK Yeah, it's good.

PETER Geez.

JACK You're in luck, the last time I got drunk, which was Christmas a couple years ago, I gave a guy a blowjob on the patio–

PETER I'm not trying to get you drunk–

JACK –I’d say who but it'd get me into trouble.

PETER Oh, God, it wasn't my uncle Rod, was it– No, he wasn't there–

JACK shakes his head.

JACK I won't say… You want to know all my secrets? I have better ones than that.

PETER I bet I know a lot of them.

JACK I doubt it.

PETER My mom might not talk to the press, but she does talk to me. Same with Rod. You can ask them to keep their mouths shut but that doesn't include us. I know a whole lot about you. And I have an encyclopedic memory when it comes to people. I might know more about you than you know about you.

JACK That's fucked up.

PETER Want to quiz me?

Jack shakes his head.

JACK Not particularly.

PETER You're from somewhere in the Midwest. You were Mary’s ward for 5 years. You dropped out of the last show you were in and haven't performed since. You used to crash on Sandy Vaughn’s sofa all the time and you asked her out five times and she refused each and every one because you're too young for her. Your real name is something long and Greek.

JACK is thoroughly creeped out.

JACK All that but you didn't know my age.

PETER No, I did. I just wanted to see how many times you'd lie about it.

JACK gets up and starts to go.

PETER You want my number before you walk the 15 blocks home?

JACK Why would I want that?

PETER So when you do want to fuck, I'll be easier to reach.

JACK turns and looks at him.

JACK You're actually crazy.

PETER But right, right?

JACK sighs. Peter scribbles it down on a piece of paper and hands it to him.

PETER I promise I'm pretty regular. I just try to be open with my quirks from the moment I meet someone.

JACK You're also pretty open with your intentions.

PETER Does it bother you?

JACK No.

PETER And it doesn't bother me that you aren't, sweetheart.

JACK Don't call me that.

PETER Sorry, darling..

JACK Do you know stuff about everyone or just me?

PETER I'm not a stalker. I know everything about everyone. You're not special. You're just in the room with me.

JACK Really?

PETER Hope that doesn't bother you. A lot of people want to feel special. But I like a few things in life: Connie Francis, trivia, and dancers with nice shoulders and pretty eyes.

JACK is a sucker for flattery. He takes out his wallet and puts in the number.

JACK I'd stay tonight but a glass of whiskey, two dexies and a half a dozen hardboiled eggs is– Just, not tonight.

PETER That's why I wrote it down.

This is a remarkably human interaction for Jack.

LATER. THE COREY HOUSE. Jack enters, sure to be quiet. The party is well over, but the lights are still on. He flicks the living room light off, then the dining room, then the hallway, then he goes out to the patio, quietly closing the door behind him.

It's one of those cool late winter or early spring nights. Well, not cool, it's pretty cold. But Jack is choosing to be okay with it. He takes a seat on a chair and looks up at the gray city sky.

A light turns on inside and Bert comes through the doors, tired, wiping his eyes.

BERT Oh, good it's just you.

JACK That loan still on the table or did I fuck that up?

BERT That's a morning question… you're right, you wouldn't be able to pay rent when Mary's not working. I'm done fighting with you, Jack. Mary doesn't want you living out of the Y or on someone's couch.

JACK I'll get a job. I could wait tables. That's what everyone does.

BERT There are some people in this world that are built for one thing and one thing only.

BERT lights a cigarette and sits next to him.

It's a shame that you and Mary are so alike but so different. She was your age when I met her. She was on top of the world. I gave her everything she needed and she's thrown it away but she had a few great years…. See, I think you're designed to choreograph, and Mary was always designed to dance. Shame that she never really got her second chance.

JACK Do you want me to climb over the fencing, throw myself off the building?

BERT I wouldn't stop you.

JACK Yes you would.

BERT How about you try me then?

JACK doesn't budge.

Enter MARY. Soberish. She sits on the other side of JACK. JACK stands up and faces them.

JACK I don't want to argue either, Mr. Corey. I don't. I won't do it anymore. I did a damn good job on that show, I know I did. And people take me seriously and I'm going to fine without you. I'm going to be better than good. You two can go fuck yourselves.

MARY What's this about? What are you arguing about?

JACK leaves.

A phone booth on the street. JACK is holding Peter's note from earlier as he dials. He closes his eyes as he speaks.

JACK Hey- No, Peter, it's Jack. Sorry, my watch died– I took a long walk– Listen, are you interested or not? Great. See you in a bit.

Jack hangs up.

We see then over the next few weeks, a bunch more similar calls, from various locations, to various people, all with the same goal. Some get rejected and Jack immediately dials someone else.

A RESTAURANT. 3 months later. JACK and WYATT sit at a restaurant. They have a stack of paper between them.

WYATT I know this would be your first real independent show, but you did such good work on Candlesticks for Marie that I am confident that you'd be able to do it.

JACK Mary just signed for another show. She'll want me to help her.

WYATT Compensation is fair. Beyond fair, actually. I need a solid choreographer who can get the work down and do it quickly. Especially someone who is used to working with divas… Look, this show might not be a big success, I won't lie to you. Rod and Louis’ tunes are phenomenal and Anne is set to direct, but the libretto is actor Geoffrey O'Doherty, it's his first show, but it's quite good. I'm taking a risk on him and I'm more than willing to take a risk on you.

JACK Why?

WYATT Because you've done good work for me and I want to pay you back by putting you to work. We won't start production for at least 6 months.

Jack looks uncomfortable. He examines the contract. He doesn't understand what he's reading at all.

JACK I might have to bring this to… I guess Mary and Bert to take a look at. I've never signed anything like this before. Not that I don't get it, I just don't know what's normal…

WYATT My son tells me you're living a pretty hectic life right now.

Jack looks like a deer in the headlights for a moment, then adjusts in his seat and goes back to reading the paper.

WYATT That's why I'm giving you so much up front… Kid, theater has always been a family affair to me. My ex-wife’s directing, her brother's the composer, my son's gonna be the stage manager. This production might be a risk, but it'll be close knit and drama-free. It's the perfect place to get your bearings. Even if we close in Boston.

Jack looks at him again, then sits back and tries to look confident.

JACK I'll sign.

Wyatt smiles.

WYATT Glad to have you join the team.

#Bubly #BublyBurstCherryLemonadeFlavoredSparklingWaterBeverage #FlavoredSparklingWaterBeverageReview

I tried the Bubly Burst Cherry Lemonade Flavored Sparkling Water Beverage and it was pretty good.

This did have a light cherry jello smell to it and tasted like eating the cherry jello with either Splenda added to it but in liquid form.

This had a light cherry taste that didn't taste medicine like but had a very light not sour lemon taste at the end that was nice.

This cherry lemon drink was lightly fizzy while smooth in texture when I weighed.

This was lightly sweet to me.

I drink this again.

I mixed this with the Crush orange zero sugar and it was pretty good.

This mix just tasted like a lightly sweet fruit punch but in soda form.

This mix was lightly sweet and had a orange with cherry flavor but the lemon flavor got overpowered the lemon flavor.

This mix was lightly fizzy and smooth in texture.

I would drink this again.

Got at Kroger.

[girlcraft2003]
