Cock and balls, I'm watching this previously banned american film where an american man is trying to fuck a soviet spy (played by famously very russian Greta Garbo) by offering her champagne and he is like "have you never had champagne?" and Greta is like "never 🥺 only goat's milk and a ration of vodka in the army" and the tv screen freezed and was like "ERROR!! CHAMPAGNE HAS BEEN SERVED IN SOVIET UNION SINCE 1936" I'm 😂😂😂

Hi I heard about the slightest possibility of Boatem buttercups and just decided to write a tiny thing with it. Short bc I don't have the time or wrist health to write more but I love them ok

--

“I still think the dye was a little much,” Pearl commented as she wove flowers together with a masterful hand, “I mean, you're just stealing Jimmy's aesthetic at this point, aren't you?”

Grian huffed softly, rolling his eyes. “I'm showing team spirit, Pearl. And besides, you did...” He gestured toward her wings– feathered and shining a harvest gold. “...whatever that is, to your wings! That's way more than I did!”

“Should I have dyed my hair?” Mumbo asked, glancing up at the two siblings. “I mean, if you two are, well, so spirity...”

Impulse shrugged. “I already have yellow on me, so I think I'm good.”

Scar looked up from where he was helping Mumbo weave his own flower crown. “Well, I think you both look amayzin'. Just like real buttercups! Though Pearl, I'd love to know what sort of illusion magic you used for the whole look.” His eyes seemed to sparkle as he beamed. “I'm a curious man, you know!”

Pearl laughed, shaking her head. “A lady never reveals her secrets.”

“That's just unfair,” Grian muttered, “why do you get to keep secrets?”

Impulse smirked. “I think the better question is, why can't you?”

Grian shot him a glare. “I keep more secrets than you know!”

“Sure thing, poultry man.”

Grian squawked, and the rest of the Boatem Buttercups burst out laughing. “That's unfair, I've only told you four!”

Pearl set down her flower crown, raising her eyebrow. “After half of us found out on our own?”

Grian grumbled, going back to working on his flower crown. “You're all so mean to me.”

Scar laughed, reaching out and patting Grian's shoulder. “Aww, G, we don't mean it. I didn't know you were poultry man!”

Mumbo gave him a quizzical look. “Weren't you the first person–?”

“Nope!” Scar interrupted cheerfully. “Oh, Mumbo, you want to do it like this–” He went back to helping Mumbo with his flower crown.

Pearl hummed softly as she continued to make her crown, giving pointers when asked. Finally, upon finishing, she placed it on Impulse's head with a smile. “There ya go!”

Impulse chuckled, and gave Pearl the crown he'd been working on. “Just in time, apparently.”

Grian placed his flower crown on Mumbo's head, and Scar placed his on Grian. Finally finishing with his own crown, Mumbo gently set the crown he made on Scar's head.

“Perfect! Now we're all really the buttercups,” Grian declared.

Concert

"Ah yes global pop sensation Ariana Griande the oldest in Grian’s long list of alter egos, a singer who is secretly a drag queen, Grian had even worn one of her outfits to the masquerade."

Written by: FeatheredEnby

Word Count: 1,231

Part Ten of: Show Your Fangs

A Superhero AU of Empires SMP/Hermitcraft/The Life Series/Artimator SMP/Adding Some Of My Mutuals

Grian sits on the roof of Cleo’s cafe in his new and improved Cuteguy look and thinks about his life, it’s been two weeks since the whole kidnapping thing and since he admitted to Hotguy that Cuteguy and Poultry Man are one and the same. Of course Grian could have told him “Oh yeah and I’m also Grian,” instead of still keeping that a secret but what Grian’s doing is illegal and he doesn’t fancy the idea of going to prison. He already has enough to deal with without more issues with the government. Nothing appears to be happening so he checks his phone but only sees some texts from a few days ago. 

9:56 AM - June 10th

Mumbo: Grian, Ariana Griande is doing her first concert ever and it’s gonna be at the arena in Empires City.

Grian: Cool.

Mumbo: Yeah! I got the three of us tickets for the 14th.

Scar: Awesome I can’t wait!

Grian: Sorry I’m busy that day. You can give away my ticket to someone else.

Scar: You wanna give the ticket to Jimmy, Mumbo?

Mumbo: Sure.

Grian: I hope you guys have a good time!

Ah yes global pop sensation Ariana Griande the oldest in Grian’s long list of alter egos, a singer who is secretly a drag queen, Grian had even worn one of her outfits to the masquerade. It’ll be fun for him to wear his stilettos again, Grian tucks his phone back into his pocket as he feels a pair of eyes land on him. Grian turns around and sees, of course, Hotguy. Grian would quite like to treat him like a friend but Cuteguy isn’t really Hotguy’s friend, Grian isn’t either, they’re rivals, “Hey there pretty boy,” Grian greets him, “It’s been a bit.”

“Yeah it has,” Hotguy agrees, “I like the new outfit.”

“Huh, oh yeah. Well I did rip up my old one.” Grian says.

“It’s nice, the pastel blue suits you.”

“Hm… Thanks.”

“Yeah you look really g-” A burst of fire can be seen in the distance as a bang cuts Hotguy off.

“What was-”

“Probably creepers,” Hotguy says while frantically tapping at the communicator on his wrist, “Okay now that I think about it, probably not creepers.”

Grian opens his extra eyes and scouts out the explosion where he sees a white cat mutant holding a spear and a large diamond. “I have no idea who it is but someone just stole a giant diamond. Let's run!” Grian takes a running start and takes off from the roof before flying toward the scene. When he arrives Grian finds a person with a flower mask, fighting the cat mutant, with a chainsaw. As he watches a raven hybrid lands on a roof nearby and shoots an arrow at the cat mutant who dodges only to get trapped in vines that the other person. Hotguy comes up behind Grian observing the scene, “Should we deal with this?”

“Nah, I think that these people have got it.” Grian tells him.

“Okay but should we at least keep an eye on it?” Hotguy asks.

Grian looks down and sees that the raven hybrid is lifting up the diamond while the human is tying up the cat mutant. He turns to Hotguy, “I have to go do something.”

“Okay bye.”

Grian flies down into a nearby alleyway where he changes into his normal outfit and grabs a notepad and pen from his bag. He runs up to the scene where the three people are still standing there. As Grian goes up the person in the flower mask spots him and walks over, “Hello,” they greet him, “are you okay?”

“Yep I’m fine. Actually I’m a reporter for the Hermit Times, I was wondering if I could interview you?” He asks.

“Sure, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Bard and I use she/her pronouns.” She says.

“Okay,” Grian replies while jotting down notes, “and who are the other people here?”

The other people hear him and the raven hybrid drags over the cat mutant, “I’m Poisoner, I don’t care about pronouns.”

“Mhm… who's the villain?”

“I’m Dandylion! I use he/him.”

“Okay, what exactly happened here?” Grian asks.

“Well-” The villain starts to talk only for a vine to gag his mouth.

“He blew a hole in the museum and stole a diamond. We got it back, pretty simple.” Bard explains.

“Okay, thanks for the interview.” Grian says before starting the journey back to his apartment. On his way back Grian sees Hotguy also running along a similar route so he picks up the pace to be able to find a place where he can change and open his wings. Then of course Hotguy sees him, “Hello there Grian.”

“Hotguy.” Grian says naturally.

“My favorite reporter, need a walk back to your house?” He asks.

“I think I’d get there faster if you left.” Grian replies.

“Aw, come on it’s gonna rain soon.”

“No.”

“Okay, bye!”

Hotguy walks off in the other direction and as soon as he’s out of view Grian ducks into an alley and changes into a black hoodie and opens his wings. As Grian flies back to his apartment he watches the people below him as they walk around Hermitopia and sees nothing of note. As Grian moves to land on his fire escape he sees some of the people who live in the apartments around him out on their fire escapes or balconies. Not wanting them to learn that he’s an avian Grian lands on the roof and takes in his wings before climbing down the latter and onto his fire escape. After he climbs down Grian stands on the platform outside watching his neighbors on their balconies and waves to a few of them as he sees them. 

Grian walks into the living room and sets down his keys on the table before going into his room. Once in the bedroom Grian takes off his sweater and opens his closet door. He digs around the closet for a bit until he unearths a chest which he opens and grabs a dry cleaning bag from. Grian opens the bag in which there is a bright pink dress with a short skirt and a heart shaped cutout on the chest. The back of the dress also has a large cutout wear his wings can come out of. The waist of the dress has a white leather belt with a silver buckle and a few heart and star charms. Grian moves back over to the chest and grabs a bag full of makeup and accessories which he opens and grabs a long blonde wig out of. Along with it he grabs out a shiny pearl white hair tie and some matching pearl jewelry. Quickly Grian changes out of his normal outfit and into his Griande look and puts on his jewelry. Afterward he grabs a bag and puts the rest of the stuff that he needs in it along with putting on his wig and tying it up. He then moves to the bathroom where he uses a can of hairspray to color his wings a dusty pink.

Grian goes back into his room and changes his shoes, briefly stopping to stretch his talons, into pink stilettos. He then opens his window and jumps out into the night air and starts to fly towards empire city.

HGCZ reactiony stuff part 2

King for a Day, Mumblr posts, and G-Team reactions under cut

Also, a warning for excessive use of XD emojis.

King for a Day:

The fact I can recognize BDubs because of a missing tooth is insane. What is this fandom XD

I somehow already forgot that Scar is an actor and so I was confused about the setting for a minute before I went "oooooh right!" Director (?) BDubs makes a weird amount of sense, considering Tall Claims Court in HCs10.

omg BDubs knows XD

I have a feeling that Ren finding out will be a problem, maybe? Though he also seems to be a fan considering the HOTGUY logo in his text bubble.

ooo organized vigilante/hero group???

of course HotGuy gives Cute Guy flowers as an apology. Of course they're poppies and lilacs. Apparently the zine is not supposed to be super shippy, but I see desert duo fans are still desert duo'ing XD.

(took a break here because a friend contacted me)

Grian has issues with the plan, but still takes the flowers, I notice. XD

Sad HotGuy D=

oh no. Cute Guy, no. Pearl, no. o__o PEARL.

Cranky BDubs

------

oh my god in-universe Tumblr. It's Mumblr. Is Mumbo behind this. How many mental breakdowns does he have trying to run a social media site. XD

Also idk if these are actual tumblrs (mumblrs) but the names are great.

holy crap it's political discourse but for a superhero AU what XD

The Perimeter? Doctor Monster? omg I love this lore. And of course even as a villain Doc is like "wtf are you doing get out of my swamp lair".

MAPLE PRINCE OMG XD XD XD

-----

(HotGuy and) Cute Guy in the G-Team:

oh ma Sherlock Grian XD

AND Ariana Grande? oh wow. How many Grian alter egos are we getting in this story? We're only like three pages in XD

and of course hippies are protesting Doc. XD "No bore" -- well I have good news for you, buddy ... XD

PERMIT OFFICER GRIAN? XD XD XD How many Grians will there be in one comic??? XD

HE PUT THEM ON HOLD????????? XD

okay now I'm getting confused are all the Grians actually different people. Is Grian arguing with himself. You okay bud?

(yeah this is probably why it's called the G-Team, I'm realizing XD)

Midnight ... alley???? holy ... HOW MANY GRIAN-RELATED REFERENCES ARE GOING TO BE IN THIS. I fully expect Poultry Man, Fisherman Grian, the Barge, Hobbit Grian, Mother Spore, and all the rest to appear now. How they'll all fit into one comic I have no idea, but somehow they will XD

Okay who is the guy with the fluff and the motorcycle helmet. Hmmm. Don't know atm. Jacket has a broken heart, and they said the red was hair ... Gem???? but why the broken heart??? why would Gem want the briefcase??

Cute Guy has a boob window what XD

ouch D=

HOT GUY IS JUST LEISURELY COMING ON THE SUBWAY WHAT

"get the documents" - but documents were left, so there was some other document that was more important than those? and --- a test tube of skulk??? oh boy. Soooo that's gonna come up later ...

---

Something I noticed from Mumblr post tags and the G-Team story is that apparently Cute Guy is kind of clumsy? Mumblr posts had his falling into a dumpster, this one had him faceplanting and missing a ton of shots. I don't think I've ever seen that before and it's interesting? I feel like usually Cute Guy is portrayed as pretty competent in the superhero/vigilante stuff, so having him fumbling with it is actually really interesting.

Cartoon Network Friday Spotlight: Cow and Chicken- “The Ballad of Cow and Chicken”

Cow and Chicken feels kind of slight in Cartoon Network’s history. The show doesn’t get brought up as often as its contemporaries, didn’t get as many merchandise options as Dexter’s Lab or The Powerpuff Girls and doesn’t incite the fervor that Ed, Edd n’ Eddy or Courage do. I constantly see people who were missed that period of CN eat up those four shows, but skip C&C. Maybe it’s because I was the right age to eat the show up, but I do think that it’s underrated and worth a little more attention than it receives. The show was a part of the peak Powerhouse era for the channel, staying a regular on the lineup right before the fabled City era, and was arguably their first follow-up hit to Dexter’s, given that Johnny Bravo had to be retooled and take a year off before it got a second season.

I’ll admit that I prefer the other shows mentioned above, but Cow and Chicken definitely has its charms, taking its wild sense of humor and style and helping to prove that the Cartoon Cartoons could be more than just the UPA/early Hanna-Barbera inspired shows that enticed older viewers. And some of those older viewers liked Cow and Chicken too, noticing how similar its humor and spirit is to Ren & Stimpy, in some cases (IMO) even surpassing it.

In this, the last segment, the kid’s Teacher is singing a country song to a (not very) enamored audience with Flem and Earl accompanying them, in which our favorite bovine and poultry pair are pursued by a G man (guess who) who won’t get off their trail. It’s a fun, catchy number that remains entertaining through its episode length, further helped by strong voice work, particularly Charlie Adler’s work as Cow, Chicken and the Red Guy, as well as Candi Milo’s Teacher.

At the end of the day, I’d say watch EEnE and Johnny Bravo first, but do find time for David Feiss’ shows. I Am Weasel is also a good time.

[huntingrays]

i love the idea of grian becoming friends with people after being a watcher and being ashamed of his past, especially when people he’s friends with talk about how they were hurt by the watchers

but i thought of something i think might be even better

here me out:

grian becomes good friends with boatem. they never question him about things that some others do (like his wings) and never hate him for the game of death they were all in. they didn’t looked at him in fear like martyn did at the end of the last game. instead, they accepted and loved him. grian was happy that he had people who loved him, but he also felt so… guilty. they accepted him and didn’t know who he truly was… or had been. so, during a sleepover one day, he finally gets up the courage and tells them that he used to be a watcher.

he was expecting anger or shock or maybe even acceptance, but he certainly wasn’t expecting “a what?” turns out, his friends somehow didn’t know about the watchers. they had been too busy with redstone or building or just playing with friends to hear or worry about them. also, they didn’t even hate his games of death he played with them, many of them seemed to even like it and find it fun (despite the pain). pearl was proud of how far she’d gotten and mumbo didn’t hate him for killing him. they had no clue what his past meant, and they just loved grian for being grian

he knew he would have to explain about his past to them, so they knew about what he’d done and why he might be the way he was, but it was also nice to know that some people didn’t care about who he way, they just cared about him and how he was doing and if he’d eaten that day.

it was like he finally had a family

Robot Grian has been trying to find ways to bypass the code that Grian put on him and he's found some ways to do so. For example, when he wants to rant to someone about Grian, he just calls him his human, or when he wants to destroy something he just makes a really terrible build and asks someone to tell him that it looks bad so he can tear it down (don't know if Robot Grian hcs belong here or not)

Aha!! Bypass the system Robo G!! Become god!!

(if its based off a hermit, like a clone (ex. Evil X), hels (ex. Helsknight), character they play that isn't technically them (ex. Wormman, poultry man, renbob, etc), or a camera account! (Ex. Bad times) it counts, so Robo G counts!!)

I think it is very revealing that a lot of the weight on the way we follow certain things is about our responsibility to each other. One of the reasons many Jews don't eat poultry and dairy together isn't because "haha chickens that lactate" bc the root prohibition is about cooking the calf in the meat of its mother, but because we are trying not to be bad examples to any Jew who might see our chicken burger with cheese and think "ahh, maybe the rules changed and I can eat that cheeseburger under the rules, clearly Spider wouldn't lead me astray."

It's not about "pissing off G-d." As a people we take our name from a man who literally fought G-d, or maybe an angel. We're a stiff-necked people and we will fight Him.

It's about what we, as Jews, owe to each other in creation and sustaining of community.

So like... even beyond the autonomy thing, it also shows very clearly that you're not safe people to be in community with if you do things like that. There's "I won't eat this so you won't misunderstand and make a mistake" and all the way at the other end is "I'll trick you and try to tell you it's ✨️for your own good.✨️"

One of the most interesting ways that Christocentrism rears it’s ugly head is when a Jewish person does something because of our religion and here come all the ex-xtian atheists to say “GOD DOESNT CARE IF YOU EAT PORK” or “YOURE NOT GONNA DIE IF YOU WORK ON SATURDAY”.

Like yeah, no shit. As a Jew I don’t fear god. I don’t think he is gonna impose consequences on me if I break his rules. That’s not how the relationship works.

If I do something because Jewish tradition says to, it’s because I’m honoring my community and keeping my culture alive. God doesn’t really enter the equation. He can have given us a rule, but if you know any Jews you know we have nine to eleven ways of following any rule and it depends on what suits us in the situation.

So if you slip a Jewish person trief to “show them” that nothing bad will happen to them, you are an asshole of the highest order and have fundamentally misunderstood the rule they’re seeking to follow.

Judaism does not include fear of God. It is a partnership with history and community and culture. And god can come, too, if he promises to be cool about it.

Abandoning Ship

The Boatem Crew Boards The Dream Cruise Ship

“What should we do? What can we do?”

“The first thing we should do is set up somewhere else. Let’s build a portal here, keep this place as our connection to the community hub, trap it, and make a nether tunnel connecting it to wherever we to decide to set up.” Impulse proposes between bites as he munches on an amethyst shard. The others don’t waste time nodding in agreement. “Then, once we’re settled, we start thinking about defence and offence.”

“We should build underground.” Mumbo and Grian propose at the same time, before bursting into peels of laughter, which does a good job at dissipating the tension that has built in the room.

Scar smirks dangerously. “Very well, mister the hobbits, you’re the experts. We’ll do that, then.”

The retired Poultry Man sobers up enough to speak up, though he is still grinning like a madman. “In that case, I’ll do some recon tonight, to try and find an isolated area for us to settle in.”

“Good thinking!” Boatem’s professional egg slinger claps his hands cheerfully, his murderous urges and plans pushed aside for now but in no way forgotten.

“Do be careful out there, alright?” Murmurs Pearl as she slings an arm around her sibling’s shoulders and pulls him close. Grian nods in the crook of her neck, wrapping a wing around her.

“You know me, Pearl.”

Pearl snorts elegantly. “Which is why I’m worried, Grian.”

“Oh come on… I’ll be fine… Impulse? Do you think you can have some invisibility potions ready for me by the time I leave?”

“Sure, G. I’ll also get started on a few farms, we’ll need all the resources we can get our hands on.

A comfortable silence settles over the group, and after a while Mumbo clears his throat.

“Anything else, anyone? No? Then as the CEO of Boatem Inc, I disband this company board meeting. Good work and good luck everybody!”
