#he’s playing the kazoo in the picture

[sandeewithtwoe]

Blorbo chart for Fresh sans? :o

So many thoughts…

I wish I drew him more but I just don’t know how to write him…you know when you have a favourite character but you’re too scared to misrepresent them so you just never put them in your work? Yeah

I guess he’s just gonna be this cryptic monster who sometimes shows up for now I guess (I PROMISE HE’LL APPEAR IN A COMIC JUST WAIT!!!)

[possumkingluca]

Batman Wayne Family Adventures Vol 5 by CRC Payne & Starbite

5/5

This post is for Fan entertainment, I’m not being paid.

Click here to see Batman Master List.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are well.

Yay! I got the volume of Wayne Family Adventures! I always look forward to reading this series, it’s so wholesome and funny. It’s a nice break from some other books I do read now a days. This issue seems to be heavy on the emotions across the board.

Which again, is why I like this series so much. That each of the Bat-family members get their own little spotlight shine on them so its not so focus on one person (i.e. Batman).

One thing I do need to brush up on is Duke, I haven’t read any of the comics that he came into the picture. This series is the first thing I have read about Duke, and the more I read this series I pretty much got the idea of his story, again another tragic story for such a young person to deal with.

 This volume has some major emotions coming from Jason, Stephaine, Luke Fox, Damian. I thought this was really well done in how they dealt with their emotions.

However, this volume has some of the funniest chapters I have read. Roy Harper’s daughter played both Jason & Dick like a kazoo. So, a carnival around and Roy, Lian, Jason and Dick are there to have fun. However, Jason is now in a contest with Dick is who is the favorite. So, all day they are trying to best each other winning prizes and getting carnival food.

My favorite chapter was one the last one, Damian overheard a very stressed-out Bruce and taking the words that he overhears tells Duke, Tim and Stephanie. So, doing some sleuthing they find very obtuse notes in the Bat computer, they find the location and things don’t go to well, but the ending was cute.

I can’t wait to get Vol 6, but it might be a while since looking up the chapter where vol 5 ends is where we are currently at now. With the Joker Arc, it might be a while before we get vol 6, but I believe this series is worth waiting for.

do u have any specifics in mind for how boba 1) met the meat droids and 2) how he ended up on the cover of their second album? also, just realized that certified meat droids fan din djarin could totally recognize boba at some point as “that one guy on that one meat droids album cover.” just imagining him as the math equation woman, seeing boba’s face at just the right angle and moment to make that connection, after having already known him for a little while lol

HAHA yes this is actually part of the meat droids lore - they meet Boba when he's skulking around on Coruscant and he essentially blackmails them into running errands for his little baby syndicate. They are going along with this partly because of the blackmail but also partly because they're sooo sure they can convince Boba to just come with them and learn to play the space kazoo or something if they just spend a little more tiiiime together - Boba exploits this thoroughly. They take the picture of him sitting on some steps looking extremely grumpy and use it as an album cover a few years later - this is the album that Din manages to get a hardcopy of at a flea market years in the future, and listens to over and over again until the data chip gets corrupted. It wasn't a super popular album because it was before they managed to make it big thanks to their Nuclear Crotch Floss collabs, and it was more industrial noise than the synth metal / electric psychedelic stuff they got popular for. I have an unfiinished comic WIP from a couple of years ago about Din finally realising why Boba looks so familiar to him, and Boba bracing himself for the "my dad had an army of clones" conversation, and then Din hitting him with "you're the angry kid on the cover of that meat droids album" and he unlocks five new stages of grief lmao.

i literally haven't been on a bus since elementary and today my grade went on a trip thingy and I went on a bus after a while and. holy fucking shit. its so chaotic. in both a bad and good way. like, kids were randomly standing up and getting yelled at, and people just started singing? but they were all singing and I didn't know the words. I was scared of high school musical bc I didn't want people to randomly start singing songs I didn't know (so I couldn't sing along and it would be awkward) but. IT HAPPENED. IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN!!!

also the back of a bus (I was in the back), from what I've seen, is basically still like how people are at the back of a class/where the teacher(s) usually don't see. people are bringing out phones, eating full on meals, and I will admit I brought out my kazoo and started singing shit.

when I started singing undertale music on a fucking kazoo, I heard this conversation from somewhere

"who is that?? who has a kazoo???"

"(someone says my full name in a really monotone voice??)"

and then someone threw an empty prime bottle at me.

:( a few minutes later some kid played that new ksi song on LOOP. so me and the kid next to me just started singing poison from hazbin hotel. because its kazoo and they'll never know.

also I managed to somehow draw some stuff when we were on the way back. I left it in my locker so I'll send pictures tomorrow after school, someone remind me if I forget

either all my classmates are on steroids or this is typical behavior from a group of children on a bus.

also I feel bad for the driver, he looked so done with our bs :')

Luffy, N-45 ~ Stockings

Summary: You and your alien boyfriend are going to see a cult classic movie about queer aliens. Y'all get dressed up for the show, Luffy awakens an appetite for pop culture, you awaken an appetite for certain attire on your man.

Warnings: Spicy and suggestive, Alien Luffy with Female implied reader though no pronouns or body parts mentioned, y'all put the whore in whoreror show Word Count: 633

“Are you sure they’re aliens Y/N? They don’t look it – I do like their outfits!” Luffy chirped happily as he looked at the photos you showed him as you both got ready for your date. There was a Rocky Horror Picture screening happening at the local theater and you were so excited to engage with the crowd and bring your alien boyfriend to experience a cult classic. The fact that he was also an alien made the whole thing funnier in your opinion.

“Well you don’t look like an alien either, Luffy. I didn’t know until I saw you stretch your body! Besides this is a fiction, we’re just meant to enjoy the vibes. This has been a Halloween tradition for decades and I can’t believe that after all your years here you’ve never even heard of it!”

You had opted to dress as your favorite, tragic character: Columbia. For Luffy however, you requested he dress as the sassy antagonist of the film – Dr. Frank-N-Furter himself.

You had ordered the costumes and done both your hair and makeup. To be honest, you killed both lewks. You looked gorgeous and jubilant just like the eccentric groupie. Luffy looked other worldy. His hair was tightly curled and styled, his dramatic makeup complimented his face, and his clothes did something to your lower belly. Dressed in a tight corset, neck accented with a comically large, plastic pearl necklace, fishnets over his arms, ripped thigh-high stockings held in place by the clips attached to his leather whore shorts.

Luffy looked perfect. The pinnacle of liberation and queer pride oozing from his rubber alien body. Strutting around the room and rating himself in the mirror, praising your work as he crowed about how identical he looked to the star of the film.

Something broke in your brain. Those stockings in those strappy kitten heels. The way they emphasized his bulging calf and thigh muscles. The way the pump made his round ass look tighter.

You don’t even remember getting to the theater. You vaguely recalled the film itself, feeling unable to look at anyone or anything else but Luffy. He was having the time of his life, actively participating in the show with the bag of goodies given at the door – filled with playing cards, rubber gloves, kazoos and rattle clacker toys, toilet paper, feathers, and more. He danced to the time warp again and again, even after the show ended.

“Y/N, didn’t you enjoy the show?” Luffy asked you and for the first time you felt snapped back to reality. Looking around the nearly empty theater as everyone left to the diner next door for the annual after showtime dinner.

“I-I did. I just,” you stuttered.

“But you didn’t even watch the movie,” he frowned.

“I’ve seen it before,” you tugged his arm back, “But I haven’t seen this before.” His arm stretched in your grip as he was walking towards the exit; he looked back at you with a confused look.

“Aren’t we going to eat?”

“No.”

Luffy let out a surprised cough as you nearly slammed him against the back of the bathroom door. He bounced off the steel frame and you shifted his weight to pin him to the door, your fingers tracing over his exposed skin as you eyed him hungrily.

“I’m in the mood for something else entirely.”

Luffy gave a coy smile, “Oh! Well if that’s all—” he began to yank the shorts and stockings down when you stopped him.

“No, keep the stockings on. You look so fucking good in them,” you traced the bulge of his erection.

The theater was empty and dark. Not a soul in sight. The only sound that could be heard was a muffled roar and the clatter of beads spilling on the floor.

15 tiles to go, 31 calls made so far.

time :: february 16, 2023

taglist :: @cafemilk-tea @cixrosie @moonlight-additions @cosmicwintr @astraw-astro @ateezjuliet @fromfreesia @succulentmom @kimhyejin3108 @enhacolor @multiplums @meginthebuilding27 @kang-ulzzang @hybesunstone @allthings-fandoms​ @itzy-eve​ @choihaneul

Eden had just finished taking her pictures of the tray, putting their freshly brewed coffee down. She made hers how she liked it and tried her best to match his taste. She got up extra early to shower, get ready, and plan out their day to celebrate Seokmin’s birthday.

It was their last full day in Busan together and she wanted to dedicate the day to him and celebrate his birthday that she couldn’t be with him for on the 18th.

She debated what time to wake him up so he could rest fully, but she was getting impatient and wanted to treat him to breakfast. So she put her phone in her back pocket, making sure things looked tidy on the tray before picking it up and carefully walking upstairs.

She pushed the cracked door open with her back, tiptoeing in and setting the tray on the dresser. He was sleeping peacefully, curled into a ball with the blankets draping over his head to block out the sun. 

She sat on the edge of the bed, pulling the covers off of him and kissing his elbow, all the way up to his shoulder. He budged slightly, but not enough to wake up fully.

“Minee…” She whispered his nickname, running her fingertips along his back. Nothing.

“Honey…” He shifted slightly, letting out a hum.

She tried so hard to bite her tongue, wondering whether this was an appropriate thing to say. She bent down close to his ear, kissing his neck before whispering again. “…Oppa,”

He finally opened his eyes, turning back at her with a hum. He squinted his eyes from the sun, stretching out his limbs as she giggled.

“That woke you right up.” She kissed the corners of his lip, then his forehead before pushing his hair out of his eyes.

“What’d you say just now?”

“Hmm? I said something?” She furrowed her eyebrows, playing dumb.

“The names.”

“Minee?” He shook his head. “Honey?” He smiled but shook his head again. “That’s all I said.”

“No I swear you said-“

“Oppa?” The couple said the word at the same time, Seokmin’s eyes bulging as he lay flat against the mattress. He covered his face to hide his blush.

“I’m not saying it ever again.” She patted his stomach over the blanket, standing up and approaching the dresser.

“Just once more? At least let me record it!” He pouted, kicking his legs.

“Nope.” She picked up the tray, walking over to him, and setting it on the mattress. “Happy birthday!”

She picked up the kazoo, blowing into it as he jumped right up. She laughed as he sat up, pulling the blankets up to cover his chest. He ran his hand across his eyes, smiling as he was surprised with breakfast in bed.

“But it’s not my-“ He tried to speak before Eden put her hand over his mouth.

“No, it’s not your birthday yet. But it is our last full day so we’re celebrating early.” Their banter from the previous day about her birthday made its way into the next day. She put her hand under his chin, massaging it like a cat. “Since you were so good to me yesterday, I’m spoiling you today.” She kissed him on the lips quickly,

“Your food is gonna get cold. Dig in.” She motioned to him, sitting back with her hands in her lap. He picked up the spoon, mixing the egg, rice, and seaweed and topping it with the kimchi. He took a big bite, closing his eyes with a look of satisfaction on his face. “Is it okay?”

“Very good.” He covers his mouth, filling his cheeks with the food and taking his time to chew. “Did you make all this?”

They made eye contact for several seconds before they both snorted. He knew she wasn’t big on cooking, but he still appreciated her going out of her way.

“I didn’t want to cook you something bad, so I ordered these this morning and plated it. I did make the coffee though.”

He sipped on the coffee quickly, nodding to himself as a smile crept into his face. “It’s very good, E. Thank you.”

“Go ahead and eat.” She ruffled her fingers through his messy hair with a smile. “Do you want me to run you a bath or start a shower?”

He smiled, chewing his food and swallowing before answering. “I’ll go for a shower. Are you gonna join me?”

She snickered, throwing her head down. “I showered earlier, so not today.”

He pouted, turning his head as he played with his food. “Not even for my birthday?”

She held his face in her hands, leaning forward and kissing his forehead. “But I have so much planned for you today.”

A grin slowly crept on his face, looking up into her eyes. He looked less bummed as she ran her thumb against his cheek. “We’ll definitely have to pick out a house with a bathtub when we move in together.”

She nodded her head, getting off the bed and going over to his suitcase. “Eat. I’ll warm your clothes up and start the water.”

So he finished eating his breakfast as she took some of his clothes downstairs to the laundry room. When she came back up, she started his shower, making sure he had towels laid out neatly for him.

While he showered, Eden took his tray and began doing the dishes. As she was tidying everything up, she was humming to herself with a smile on her face as the sun lit up the entire house. She was a bit bummed knowing their trip would end soon but she was looking forward to more happy days like these.

“I’m done.” She turned around, seeing him dressed in a loose shirt that exposed his arms and chest and his wet hair covering his forehead.

She turned back around, finishing drying the plates as he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Eden threw her head back against his shoulder, wiping her hands dry as he kissed her neck.

“I don’t wanna go home.” He pouted, voice muffled against her skin. She smiled, putting her hands over his and sighing.

“I know how you feel.”

“I just wanna marry you already. And have so many more mornings like this. Everyday.” He blurted out, turning her around to face him in his arms. He snuck his hand behind her neck, kissing her forehead before her lips.

Her hands rested at his waist, smiling as they touched each other. “We just got promise rings, let’s slow down a bit.” She joked with a chuckle. “I want nothing more than to wake up next to you every day.”

Seokmin couldn’t hide the blush creeping onto his face, feeling his heart explode at her words. He lifted her up by the hips, setting her on the countertop before hugging her. He pressed his face against her chest, sighing contently as she brushed her fingers through his wet hair.

“Do you think our children will be vocalists or rappers?” He asked her with the straightest face ever. She laughed a bit too hard, throwing her head back and hitting it against the cabinet.

He gasped, looking up at her and putting his hand behind her head. “Oh my god, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, don’t worry.” She snorted, covering her mouth as he relaxed just a little bit. He hated when things like this happened in fear of hurting her.

“I think they’ll be a vocal.” She smiled, pursing her lips. “How could they not?”

“You’re right. You do have such a beautiful voice.”

“I was talking about you, Minee.” She pressed her finger against his forehead, rolling her eyes.

“They’ll be born from good vocalists. But they’ll get their rapping skills from their mom.” She leaned back against the cabinet carefully, laughing at his comment. She broke their contact, looking off to the side as her smile faded.

He took note of her facial expressions, his soon falling too. He stroked her cheek, turning her attention back to him. “I think I got too ahead of myself. We can drop it.”

After all, he didn’t want to pressure or overwhelm her when talking about their future together. She shook her head, holding his hand.

“No, you’re fine. I’ve just always wondered if I would be a good mother.”

He frowned. “How come?”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because of the way I grew up?” She said with uncertainty, being reminded of her childhood. “Some people, it’s just in their nature. It’s like they’re born with motherly instincts. I guess I want to be a better parent than what I got as a child.”

He was all ears, trying his best to understand how she felt and putting himself in her shoes. All he could do was hug her, placing his head against her chest and sighing. “For what it’s worth, I think you’d be an amazing mom. And it will be a long time before that happens, so just tell me if you’re not comfortable discussing it.”

Eden smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and feeling her heart ache. “You will no doubt be an amazing dad. I’m certain.” She whispered against his ear, knowing that even though he had his face snuggled into her chest, he was blushing.

“So today, I was thinking we could work on one of your Lego sets.” She pulled him back, hands resting on his cheeks. “Obviously the one with fewer pieces though.”

“Oh yeah, of course.” His eyes lit up instantly, the little passionate boy in him coming out.

“And then we head to the market.” She cocked her eyebrows up with excitement.

“The market?”

“Yeah. I wanted to have a little cookout with a bonfire and s’mores.”

His eyes widened with stars in them. “S’mores?”

“Oh, and I also want to see if I can find a present for Vernon. I don’t know what he likes though.” She stroked his hair at the base of his neck.

“I can help.” He reassured her with a smile.

She nodded, pushing him back just a bit so she could hop off the counter. “I’ll go get the lego’s.” Her hand brushed his shoulder before she skipped up the stairs and to the bedroom.

Eden came back, set the box down on the table before sitting across from him. The next two hours would be a lot of trial and error.

She kept referring back to the instructions, getting frustrated when some of the pieces wouldn’t go together. She laughed like she was going insane, Seokmin reaching over the table to reassure her. Even when she thought she broke one of the pieces, all he could do was smile and fix the pieces in her hand.

“You’re doing great.” He smiled, looking up from his big piece to see her getting the hang of things. “And now we just…” He handed her his piece, motioning for her to connect hers with his.

She was careful, making sure not to break or mess up what he had already made. With a bit of force, the pieces forged together and completed the moon part.

She let out a big sigh, slamming her head against the table a little too hard. He gasped, reaching over the table and putting his hands around her head.

“This is so intense.” She snorted, feeling her sanity fading when building legos.

“You and hard surfaces.” He giggled with her but deep down he was worried about how hard she hit her head. “You need to be more careful baby.”

“I know I know.” She used her elbows to hold her face up, reaching for the instructions. “What’s next?”

“Why don’t you let me finish it and you can start making a list of everything we need at the market?” He slid the paper over to himself with his finger, looking up at her.

“Are you sure? I don’t want to let you finish it by yourself.”

“I’ll be okay. We’ve already got the hard part over with.” He held up the moon with a smile on his face. “You’re practically a pro Lego builder now.”

“No, I am not.” She rolled her eyes, standing to her feet before walking to the other side of the table.

“But you are. For someone who hasn’t built legos before in their life, you’re great.” She walked behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck as he looked up at her. She shook her head with a smirk, leaning down to kiss him on the forehead.

She observed him from behind, resting her chin on top of his head as he continued to build the legos. She asked him what kind of meat he was craving and any sides that popped into his mind. She took the seat next to him, scooting closer as she pulled out her notes app and started typing down their grocery list. Their knees were touching, never being able to get enough physical contact.

“And done.” He used the last piece, completing the building and turning the LED light on. Eden looked up from her phone, widening her eyes when seeing the bear all put together. He looked in her direction, leaning to give her a peck on the cheek “It’s cute!”

“Where are you gonna put it?” She asked him, looking down at his lips before they shifted to his eyes.

“Should I put it on my nightstand? Or what about my shelf?”

“Wherever you’d like, but it’d be perfect as a nightlight.”

She felt like she won the lottery when entering this one vintage shop that had almost everything she needed. They left the airbnb as soon as Seokmin finished building his Lego set. They had been to several shops already, only buying things for each other and Eden finding it extremely difficult to pick out a gift for Vernon.

“Are you sure he’s gonna like it?” She watched the cashier scan her items, turning to Seokmin.

“Yes, don’t worry. He will appreciate anything you get him. And these are completely up his alley.

She pursed her lips as the woman packaged the cat mug. She also got him cat socks and a coaster. She can’t remember the last time she had this much trouble picking out presents for someone. But when she thought of Vernon, the first thing that came to her mind was cats.

After paying, they exited the shop hand in hand. “Are you getting hungry?” She asked him with a smile, making their way back to their car.

“Starving.” He pulled her closer by wrapping his arm around her, stumbling as her bag hit his knee accidentally. She chuckled, putting all their stuff in the backseat.

“To the market?” She fastened her seatbelt, watching him start the car and getting comfy. He rubbed his hands together since it was still very cold outside.

“I’ve been craving barbecue so bad these past few weeks.” Seokmin held his palm open over the center, wasting no time in intertwining their fingers. “I just don’t want to buy more than we can eat and waste food.”

“We’ll just have to eat all night then.”

“But I have other plans for the rest of the night.” She mumbled under her breath, looking out the window and watching each sidewalk crack pass.

“What was that?” He smirked, locking eyes with her as she stuttered to speak.

She played dumb, raising her eyebrows. “Hmm?”

“I thought I heard you say something.” He returned his eyes to the road as he snickered. He knew what she said loud and clear but wasn’t going to pry any further.

They found the market closest to where they were staying, Eden pulling out her phone while entering. She noticed how he wasn’t by her side, turning around and seeing him grab a shopping cart. There was a loud noise as he pulled it from another cart, Seokmin flinching and steering it in her direction. He stopped, pursing his lips as his ears turned red.

She giggled, grabbing the end with her hand and leading him throughout the store. They collected all their vegetables and side dishes that they desired for tonight. Eden contemplated what type of meat to buy, looking over the selection.

He seemed to have fallen behind, getting distracted by all the meat and accidentally running over her ankles with the cart. “Oh- I’m so sorry!”

She reached for her sock, pulling them back up after he ran them over. She was being too quiet which worried him. Instead, she joined his side, insisting that they switch places.

“Here, you can run me over too.” He stood in front of the cart, turning his back and waiting for him to hit his ankles. All she did was push the cart past him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you when you least expect it.” She gave him a devilish grin, knowing he was in for it big time.

Almost an hour went by when they made it to the checkout. Seokmin finished putting all their things on the belt before pulling out his wallet. Just as he was about to give his card to the woman, Eden gripped the bars on the cart, pushing it forward and clashing right with his ankle. She didn’t expect it to be that rough and immediately regretted it.

She widened her eyes with a gasp, her mouth hanging open as she pulled the cart back and grabbed his arm. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to do it that hard!”

He pouted his lips, handing his card to the lady but never breaking eye contact with Eden.

“Are you okay?” Her hand touched his shoulder, looking down at his foot. He took his opportunity to tease her.

He nodded, not speaking as the woman handed his card back. The stranger tried her best not to eavesdrop on them but she couldn’t help the smirk on her face at how cute they were.

He was still giving her the silent treatment when walking back to their car. Now she was really

growing paranoid.

“Minee, you know I didn’t mean it.” She tried patting his back, only to be ignored again.

Eden attempted to help him load the car with all their groceries, but he beat her to it and was really worried that he might actually be mad at her.

“Hey, please don’t ignore me.” She frowned, rubbing her fingers over her knuckles to hopefully ease the lump growing in her throat.

“Seokmin-“ Once he shut the car trunk, he quickly grabbed her face and planted a kiss on her lips. Her anxiety vanished as they kissed, but when she pulled away, she crossed her arms and avoided his gaze.

“You little shit.” She rolled her eyes as he started to giggle. He pulled her into a hug, kissing the top of her head.

“You’re so cute when you're all worried like that.”

“There’s nothing cute about almost making me cry.” She turned her body, standing on the passenger side and waiting for him to unlock the door. He hurried to put their cart away.

He smiled at her from the other side of the car, making faces at her through the window.

“If you don’t open the damn door right now-“ He quickly unlocked the doors, sitting down and getting himself buckled in.

She stared straight forward as her fingers played with the straps on her purse. He leaned forward, trying to see if she would look at him.

“Don’t look at me like that.” She didn’t even have to make eye contact to know he was doing his pouty puppy dog face.

“Are you mad?” He reached over to twirl a piece of her hair around his finger. She sighed, ignoring his question and slouching in the seat.

Each time she tried to look away, he would only lean forward more. “Oh baby…”

“We’re not leaving till you at least hold my hand.” He held his hand open on the center console, flexing his fingers as he waited.

She didn’t want to give in too easily, but he started humming while tapping his fingers on the wheel. She was a sucker for his singing, and the big sigh he let out caused her to cave.

His hand felt much warmer now, smiling to himself as they made their way back to where they were staying. “I’m sorry for messing with you, E.”

“Yeah yeah.” She pursed her lips, putting her head back against the seat and looking over at him.

“I love you.” He filled his cheeks up with air, pleading with his eyes for her to say it back.

“I love you too.” She used her other hand to pat his wrist.

“Then can I get a kiss?”

She reached over to give him a kiss on the cheek, but he turned his head at the last second and pecked her on the lips. She flattened her lips, rolling her eyes with a sigh. He noticed her clenching her jaw from being so flustered. She looked away, Seokmin squeezing her hand tighter than before.

“So cute.”

Once they got back to the airbnb, they got straight to preparing dinner. Seokmin helped prepare the side dishes, as well as grilling the meat. She was never a good cook but she still wanted to try her best for his birthday.

After filling their tummies with their first round of meat, she asked him to coach her through grilling the meat. She caught on quickly, not needing too much guidance from him. As always, he thought it was appropriate to capture the moment, snapping pictures on his camera.

He tried her cooking first, making sure to reassure her that it was really yummy. And when she tasted it herself, she was surprised.

Once they grilled all the meat they bought, the couple was shocked that there weren’t that many leftovers. It was still a bit chilly outside, but they had the heat from the grill to warm them up.

Eden and Seokmin returned inside, washing all their dishes from dinner and neatly putting them back where they belonged. Sometime during dinner, he started the bonfire where they would roast their s’mores later.

“I don’t think I’ve had s’mores since my childhood.” Eden was putting together the crackers and the chocolates, sticking the marshmallows on skewers.

“It’s gonna be so good.” He sat by the fire, holding the skewer far from the actual flame because he feared it would catch on fire. She sat down next to him, their shoulders touching as she turned her marshmallow and letting it roast perfectly.

“Minee, you gotta actually hold it close to the fire to cook.” She gently guided his hand closer, watching as the marshmallow turned into a golden color.

“You’re a pro at this.” He looked over at her, smiling as their eyes met. She blushed, turning to face the fire when she gasped. While he was admiring her profile, he held the marshmallow over the fire too long and it caught on fire.

“Your marshmallow!”

He whipped his head forward, eyes widening as he pulled the skewer out of the fire and blowing hard to put out the flame. He pouted, fake crying as he dropped his head.

“You can have mine, don’t worry.” She snorted, taking his skewer away from him and standing to her feet. She walked over to the table where she had most of their sandwiches ready, only having to put the marshmallow in the middle and top it.

She looked back at him, taking another marshmallow out of the bag and sticking a candle into the middle of it. She had secretly snuck candle toppers into the cart when they were shopping.

“Close your eyes!” She shouted, lighting the wick as he put his hands over his eyes. On his plate was his s’more and next to it was a plain marshmallow with a candle in it. She didn’t know how to make it stick to the top of the s’more without it falling over and probably creating a bigger mess than they had already made.

She sat down next to him, holding the plate in front of his face and smiling. “Open.”

He removed his hands from his eyes, jaw dropping as he gasped. She started singing happy birthday to him, his eyes shifting back and forth from the s’more to Eden. The sandwich itself looked so yummy and put together, and then he saw the candle.

When she finally finished singing, she leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek. “Happy birthday, my love. Now make a wish.”

He giggled, folding his hands together and closing his eyes. She focused on his features as the candle lit up his face. He really was so handsome.

A few seconds passed and he opened his eyes, blowing the candle out and taking the plate from her. “I already have everything I want.” Her cheeks and ears flushed red, Seokmin guiding her chin towards him with his finger and kissing her on the lips.

She couldn’t help but stare at his lips when they finally pulled away. They looked so tempting. But he quickly snapped her out of her thoughts as he sat the plate down on his lap, and took a big bite of the s’more. It was messy to say the least. He had chocolate and marshmallows on the corners of his lips.

“Is it good?” She snorted, standing up to get a napkin for him.

“It’s heaven.”

She sat back down next to him, turning his head and cleaning his lips off for him. “Let me have a bite too.” He offered his sandwich up, Eden holding onto his wrist as she tried to take a bite without being too messy with it.

“Even better than when I was younger.” He took the napkin from her, patting her lips off as well.

They had at least two more sandwiches before they were done eating. She told him she would clean up and put everything away, so all he had to do was sit back and enjoy the fire. She was inside for a while before she came back out, holding one of the throw blankets from the couch and unfolding it.

“May I sit?” She smiled, rotating the blanket and wrapping it around herself as he nodded quickly.

Eden sat down on his lap, covering the both of them with the blanket as she relaxed against him. He kissed her temple, wrapping his arm around her back as his other hand held her legs up.

She smiled, letting her head rest on his shoulder as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Did you have a good pre-birthday?”

He couldn’t help but chuckle, patting her thigh. “Of course. Today was perfect.”

“I’m glad.” She folded her hands at the base of his neck, eyeing his lips before finally kissing him.

They both turned their attention to the fire that crackled before them. The day was finally coming to an end.

Eden looked up towards the sky, seeing the sparks that disappeared into the night and finding all the stars that were hidden behind the passing clouds. “Do you know anything about stars or constellations?”

“Probably not any more than you.” He tilted his up too, following close behind her.

She chuckled as she searched for the north star. She even tried to connect dots in her mind to complete any shape or object, but to no avail. She sighed, closing her eyes and resting against him as they enjoyed the quiet atmosphere with the fire to calm their worries.

If it wasn’t so cold outside, she would want to spend the night under the stars with the love of her life. When she finally opened her eyes, she looked back up to the night sky, finding the moon that had finally revealed itself.

“There’s the moon.” She pointed her hand up to the sky, looking at the man in her arms. Her content expression soon fell, seeing his glassy eyes watching the moon. “Baby, why are you crying?”

It seemed he didn’t even realize the tears pooling in his eyes, being snapped out of his own thoughts and looking at her. She frowned, stroking his cheek and wiping his tears away with the back of her finger. “What’s wrong?”

He scoffed at himself, patting his eyes with the blanket. “I’m okay. I’m just happy.”

“You’re crying happy tears?”

He nodded, pressing his forehead against hers and patting her head. “I love you so much.”

She smiled, holding back her own tears. Something they had in common was that they both felt like crying when seeing each other cry. “I love you more. Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yes, I’m so happy.” He grabbed her hand, squeezing it close to his chest. “I am so happy to be here with you right now.”

Eden smiled, blinking a lot to not cry herself. “I love you. It’s okay if your head is running a little wild.” She tapped her fingers against his forehead, giggling together.

He tucked her hair behind her ear, holding her cheek as he kissed her. Her hands wrapped around his neck as she smiled against his lips.

“Your pre-birthday isn’t over yet, you know.” She whispered, brushing her fingers through his hair at his neck.

“Is that what we’re calling the time between your birthday and mine?” He snickered, his hands gripping her waist tighter.

“It’s smart once you think about it.” She chuckled, flipping her hair behind her shoulder. “We should probably put out the fire first before I give you my other present.”

He tapped her leg, signaling her to get up. She laughed loud, gripping the blanket close as she got off of him. He now had a little pep in his step.

I heard a song the other day and it reminded me of your Lighthouse AU. It was "Colors"by April Smith.

https://youtu.be/UAXcb6GpEm8?si=FHxHHaOoA6VaUjDy

Its light, fluffy and cute, and i like to think your version of Leo is doing the tasteful kazoo solo! (He either found one in the ocean or April gave it to him)

YESS I LOVE THAT SONG OMG... also Leo playing the kazoo would be so silly in a good way aaaaa

[angellayercake]

For the kisses prompt!! 💋

Can you do #10 with Copia ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 thank you, and your amazing 😘😘

I hope you don't mind Echo but I took a whole heap of inspiration from the beautiful art you shared with us this week 💜💜 (I know you share so much beautiful art with us but you'll know which one I mean 😊)

10. A hello/good-bye kiss that is given without thinking - where neither person thinks twice about it.

It’s later than you would have liked when you get back to your shared rooms. It was happening more and more frequently and with his schedule getting more and more demanding since his ascension to the role of Papa you were having less and less time together. But you are home now, you drop your keys in the dish by the door smiling fondly at the other random items it contains. Some lose rat treats, a toy car and is that Terzo’s kazoo? You decide not to even ask as you hang up your coat and bag and follow the artificial driving sounds into the living room.

The way he is slumped on the sofa means you can only see the top of his head and his toes resting on the opposite arm as you approach. You just watch for a moment as he loses the race he was playing and drops the controller to the floor with a huff. You can picture his grumpy face without even seeing it but you know just the thing to distract him from his strop. Creeping towards him quietly you hope to surprise him but he must have heard you already as he cuts you off halfway. 

‘I know you are there, Carissima,’ he calls without getting up, so you give up the pretence, leaning on the arm of the chair and looking down at his pouting face. You would often find him like this, playing his games to keep him entertained until you arrived home. The first time you had found him sprawled out on the sofa this way you had successfully managed to sneak up on him. Popping your head over the arm of the chair causing him to crash in the game and as he had grumbled in disappointment you couldn’t resist dropping a kiss on his pouting upside down lips. Which happened to also successfully put a stop to his complaints about you running his game. 

‘I could get used to this kind of greeting,’ he had murmured against your smiling lips and so it had become somewhat of a tradition on those nights you were kept apart until late. Tonight though he had caught you but as you walk towards the kitchen, mind set on getting a snack, he pauses you with a whine. 

‘Aren’t you forgetting something Cara?’ You backtrack a few paces until you are leaning over the sofa once again and he looks up at you with wide pleading eyes. 

‘I don’t know, am I?’ You tease enjoying the pretty little pout that your coy act inspires.

‘Please mia carissima, the only good thing about these sad lonely nights is the special kiss I get when you finally join me.’ You hadn’t really voiced how much you had come to enjoy it before but it pleased you that he felt the same. That wouldn’t stop you  from continuing to tease him though.

‘Oh you want your kiss do you?’ Keeping your face straight gets more and more difficult. 

‘Yes please.’ You skim your thumb over the lines of his forehead trying to smooth out his put on frown and just take him in for a moment before giving him what he wants. He can wait a little longer you decide. You press a quick kiss to his forehead and watch the frown lines all but disappear, to his nose which he wrinkles in mock frustration and then his lips as he lets out a happy sigh at getting his way. 

It is always a bit awkward at this angle but over time you have made it work with your lips slotting together perfectly and shifting slowly to avoid chins catching awkwardly on noses. Sometimes you just give him a peck but tonight you sense you both want to linger in the moment so you deepen the kiss, tracing his full bottom lip with the tip of your tongue until he opens up, tongue meeting yours with tentative strokes. It’s sweet and slow and exactly what you needed as it was for him if you were to judge the soft pleasure sounds he was making. You pull away slowly when your tired body starts to protest at your position but it is worth it to see him beaming up at you. 

‘Hi,’ he says, a faint flush staining his cheeks. 

‘Hi,’ you reply thinking how lucky it is there no one is here to witness your sappy display but nothing could wipe the lovesick smile off your face. He reaches for you, encouraging you around to the sofa and pulling you down on top of him until you are wrapped in his arms. 

‘Missed you Cara,’ he whispers into your hair. 

‘Missed you too Copia but we are here now.’ You snuggle into his chest relishing in the warmth of him and getting comfy because you just know you aren’t going to be going anywhere for a while.

So. I've been making the thumbnails for a series me and some friends have been doing for a few months at this point. We're doing some (Halfway accurate) dubs of Ace Attorney! It's called The Defense Rests, and you can find it on the Totallyjazzed channel on Youtube. please watch us I need the validation

I am the voice of, among others, Winston Payne, Manfred von Karma, Matt Engarde, and Luke Atmey. There's plenty of others, but those are my favorites.

So anyway, I'm gonna put the thumbnails below the cut here and hope those convince you to at least give us a shot.

1-1! I was really out of practice when I made this. I could've made the ghost Phoenix look SO much better, and actually make the Sahwit work with the bit in the actual video. See, we make jokes about how his head does not move despite his whole body constantly swaying, and compared him to the gyroscopic chicken. I couldn't do what I was going for with his neck at the time, and had to settle for rotating him 180°, but I think I could do it nowadays.

Okay how the Hell do I explain 1-3. Okay so to start with the only thumbnail I didn't make was the 1-2 one. And uh. Here you can see us disliking Sal on every possible level and deciding he should go to Hell?? I dunno, I made this mid-video, and. Have you looked at it. Oldbag taking fully clothed pictures in the bathtub standing up was just. A thing that happened in this case because of us. For some reason. And now it's everyone's problem.

Okay, with 1-4 we're starting to pick up speed in terms of the thumbnails, as we get to the first one I genuinely feel pretty proud of. 1-1 was somewhat basic and 1-3 was. Just plain weird. But then we got to 1-4 and I made TDR: DL of 6. It's directly based on Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, though Von Karma's location is more based on Dracula from the original Castlevania. Don't mind that most of them are see-through, it's because almost everyone in TDR is a ghost. We get carried away at times. Fun fact: This wasn't gonna be the thumbnail! I made it before we started recording for fun, but we ended up going with it anyway.

1-5! Another one that doesn't make much sense, but this time I really like it. In clockwise order, Winston Payne keeps dying and was the Ghost³ of Winston Payne by this point in the series, Von Karma, Damon Gant, and Redd White were on Boys Night which involves drugs, and Jake Marshall's joke evolved from MAH INFINITE BEARD to MAH INFINITE TEXAS to MAH INFINITE [blank]. It's not terribly complicated, but it worked amazingly with the TDR version of the case.

Please make fun of Winston Payne for looking like he's Animorphing if you want to, we encourage it.

2-1: WELCOME TO PAYNE THEORY! Definitely one of my favorites to make, but it doesn't have as much basis in the jokes we make during the case as I'd like, aside from the Custom Made Glove and the Lobster. I generally think 2-1 was just okay, so I didn't have any other ideas for what to do for it.

2-2 IS MY FAVORITE END RESULT OF ANY OF THESE THUMBNAILS. Practically everything in it references a joke made in the video to some extent, from Payne's kazoo, Hotti wanting to steal every organ, The Bloodlement, and the part where we played tic-tac-toe on Pearl... It's all here. And it coheres amazingly. I'm incredibly happy with it.

I think we all know what 2-3 is like. Moe the Clown throwing hands with J. Udge carried it for us. They should fight onscreen. It is written that Moe's back was about to shatter and create a whole new case from how hard he was carrying the case.

HERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE GO. 2-4 started my little personal tradition of taking every final thumbnail in a game seriously, though that was already starting to form in 1-4. This had my favorite development phase of any of the thumbnails, and I don't regret a second of it. I also finally learned how to use a new tool or two in my editing software because of it! Wonderful! It's not all serious, though. Wendy Oldbag is still very much the Blue Eyes White Woman.

...I didn't have any ideas for 3-1. We settled on making it a discord flashback for all the characters involved (And Redd White) ((And The Poison Genie)) during a session of Buck Bumble.

I love Luke Atmey with all my heart. He's really funny, and some of the most fun I've had in The Defense Rests. I made his superpower identity theft and had him boast about how he could "Steal your place in the thumbnail of this video!", which resulted in this. Don't mind that the bag looks like that, I had very little to work with.

I ran out of my 10 permitted images, so. I guess I'll do 3-3 through 3-5 and the scrapped thumbnails in a reblog after I finish tagging this.

Teach Me How To Love In Your Own Lyrics

(Part two)

Prev

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the finals happening, his classes were actually quiet for once. Except for the constant “Mr. Harrington may I use the restroom?” At least they used correct grammar. His fourth period was by far his favorite of the classes (although he would never admit it). They were the smartest group and they actually listened. They got done impressively quick leaving them with 20 minuets of class. He collected their papers and leaned back on the front of his desk. “So,” he begins, “anyone have any fun summer plans?” Which he knows is like the most teachery question to ever be asked but oh well.

They all had the basic answers : going to the beach, spending time with family (he loved the kids that said this), and the classic going to spend every day at the arcade. However, there was one answer that stuck out to him.

“What about you James?”

“I get to go to my favorite bands’ concert!” He sounded so excited

“Oh really? Who?”

“Corroded Coffin! They’re coming to Indy!”

Sometimes Steve forgets how big they actually are so the answer kind of took him by surprise. “That’s awesome! Okay random question. Show of hands, who listens to Corroded Coffin?” Almost every single kid raised their hand. Wow. They are in for a treat.

“Now I’m sorry kids but I think I have you all beat, I am 100% their biggest fan.” All the kids protested. James especially about how “I don’t see your tickets!” Steve grinned “okay okay maybe not but…” he reached behind him to his desk in search for something. He pulled out 2 Polaroids. One was from about 5 years ago of him and Eddie on the swings at the local park. They may or may not have been as high as a kite, but that wasn’t important. The other was more recent. It’s the two of them in the Wheeler’s basement. Eddie is playing the most ‘metal’ song ever his guitar while Steve plays a kazoo. He smiles at the memories to himself before turning the pictures around to the kids and saying, “Is your best friend the lead guitarist?”

The kids were in awe. James stood up and pushed his way towards Steve. “You?”

“Yes?”

“Friends with THE Eddie Munson?”

“The one and only, yes.” He looked so shocked? Excited? Angry? He could not read any of his students emotions no matter how hard he tried. James turned around and sat back down with the same expression plastered on his face.

All of the class wanted to know how they knew each other. Oh. Steve had to make up a story on the spot. He really couldn’t say “oh yeah when the inter-dimensional portal opened up I went looking for him, because y’a know he had murder charges and had to hide, but anyways long story short he died and I gave him cpr, and we have been BFFS since!” So he goes with:

“Well we went to high school togeth-“

“WAIT!”

“What now James?” he sighed

“You went to school here right?

“Correct.”

“That means Eddie went to school here?!?!”

“Yeah? The whole band did, now if I can cont-“

“WHAT???”

Steve took a deep breath, “now can I continue?” James mumbled some sort of yes. Steve laughed, “Okay. So yes we went to high school together but we didn’t really now each other then. We were on opposite sides of the field I guess? He started his own d&d club. And I..” he sighed, “was on the swim team.” All the kids booed. He laughed and continued, “I know I know. Anyways, we met through mutual friends, and after all said friends left town he became my best friend, not to mention I have saved his life.” The kids were all silent except for (you guessed it) James.

“What is he like?”

“What do you mean?” He asked while looking back at the pictures.

“Like is he one of those celebrities who’s really mean in person?”

Steve snorted, “not at all, he may look like he’s really mean but I swear he’s the sweetest person I’ve ever met,” he paused and smiled, “This one time his car broke down so I drove him home and,” he giggled, “he saw a cat on the side of the road. He yelled at me to stop the car, and we had just went to get fast food, so he jumped out of the car, gabbed the cat, and started giving the cat fries. I had to force him back into the car. He cried actual tears for HOURS because he didn’t get to keep the cat. He already named it too. Get this, Jameson the third. He doesn’t even know a James let alone a Jameson.” He set the pictures down and glanced at his watch. “Oh guys we have 2 minutes before the bell rings. So yes James he’s super nice.”

When the bell rang and they all told him goodbye. They seemed more cheery then normal. He was glad for that.

It was his lunch period next. He wanted to look over some papers so he stayed in the classroom. He got done but didn’t want to leave, so he just stared at the ceiling and got lost in thought. He thought about Eddie leaving. He really got sad just at the thought. 3 months was going to be a long time. He realizes that he hasn’t even left and he misses him. The only person he’d have left in Hawkins would be the English teacher Julie Smith and to be honest she’s starting to annoy him. He doesn’t know how Eddie did it for a year. He thought that maybe Steve didn’t mean as much to Eddie as Eddie did to Steve. He quickly discarded that thought along with the tears that were now rolling down his cheek. He felt like they all needed a formal goodbye to Eddie. And that’s when he had a great idea. He picked up the phone and dialed Robin.

“Helllooooo?” She answered

“Robin.”

“Steve! What’s up?”

“I have an Idea but I kinda need your help.”

“I’m listening. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next

Here is part 2! To be honest this wasn’t planned at all. It was meant to be a paragraph or two of part three but oh well. More stuff for you guys 😉. I think I might love making Steve cry. Idk why I do it constantly tho. This part is also kinda short :(. Anyways hope you enjoyed! I think this one is pretty good. You can probably tell how low my self esteem is by this ����‍♀️. Ngl i kinda hate it. Oops. So far I have parts 3 and 4 written. I think I will post one part a day. Also part count update: it’s now going to be 7-9 parts! Comment or reblog if you want to be tagged!! Thank you for reading!! <3

These are summaries I created of each secret of @partycoffin's Welcome Home episodes and the few things I've notices in them. I have yet to review the audio linked from the pictures drawn by Wally, but I am curious if they are the "Answers" to each question that cuts off the video.

These episodes can be accessed by finding all the bugs on the pages of the Welcome home website. I will late post all their locations, but the links will be pictured below.

In all the episodes, there is a loud dial sound or a noise cutting to the video at the beginning. The video ends when another character mentions Wally, causing the video and audio to glitch. We seem to be viewing Wally’s point of view in these episodes.

“Answer"

Howdy delivers yarn to Poppy and procures a “yarn spinner” which is most likely a handheld whisk. Poppy is appreciative but skeptical about this device, as she already has help from Wally.

POV- We are sitting on a quilt with yarn in our hands looking at the ground. He remains rather stationary the entire time.

2. “Answer”

Sally is asking Poppy to make her a cake for an upcoming show or play. She wants a huge three tier cake that’s vibrant and showstopping. Poppy inquires about the flavor or the cake, but Sally hadn’t thought that far ahead since the audience wouldn’t be able to taste it from their seats. Then Poppy asks Wally what he thinks and that’s when the video ends.

POV- We are sitting on a quilt with plates of tea, an apple, pancakes, and a duck plate of a single piece of broccoli. Compared to last time, we see Wally move his hand back and forth from the teacup in front of him.

3. "Answer"

Sally has come in to Howdy’s grocery store to buy either chips or potatoes. She wants something light, something not as heavy as chips so Howdy suggests mashed potatoes. She ends up getting those and a bunch of other food that seem inedible. Then Howdy asks if Wally wants anything.

POV- We are facing two cereal boxes. The cereal box on the right is moved forward slightly during the video.

4. “Answer”

Frank tends to his flowers while Barnaby makes insufferable jokes. He insists that Barnaby leave since his jokes are poisoning his flowers. Frank then asks Wally how he deals with Barnaby, ending the video.

POV- We are sitting in the tomato garden surrounded by clothespins of red, blue, yellow, orange. To his front right, there is either a pulverized or half eaten tomato and to his left is a blue clothespin facing upside down in the dirt. These clothespins oddly look like people.

5. “Answer”

Eddie is delivering mail when he trips and falls over. He gets back up and mentions that he ran into a few buildings today and played hopscotch that Julie drew earlier. He delivers the mail he has for Wally, and Barnaby begins to chase Eddie who is supposed to deliver his Kazoo collection today. Eddie runs away as Barnaby makes it to the front to Wally.

POV- We look to be staring at the ground with leaves on the left side and an odd-looking teethed stick in front of him. The ground seems to be covered in letters.

6. “Answer”

Frank is talking with Julie about how there are beetles eating up the tomatoes he’s grown. He wishes they would leave the tomatoes alone so Julie suggests that they put up a sign to tell them that they can look but not touch. But Frank insists the beetles can’t read. Julie believes that they can because they have big eyes, but Frank says that comment was rude, and they poke fun at each other with rude jokes. Then Frank suggests coming up with a joke to save his Tomatoes, saying that with the three of them, they could figure something out.

POV- We are pointed down in at the ground, similar to the position in video 4, where we are in the tomato patch. This time the clothespins are rearranged and where the blue clothespin was, are a few yellow tomatoes that have been half eaten and lightly covered in dirt. The red tomato on the right is covered in dirt too.

7. “Answer”

Julie is instructing Eddie on how to be a good associate of the “Breen Berry” company, with her as President Joyful. She is demanding that Eddie follow along at her pace, as it is difficult to run a business. Julie gets a phone call from someone and finds out that the company has gone broke, and she goes on a rampage. Eddie gets a call from Barnaby who’s looking for Wally and Eddie hands Wally the phone.

POV- We are looking at a piece of paper with a drawing of a pie and a drawing of Wally with the word “Breen” written at the bottom. There are crayons and some colored paper next to him.  

8. “Answer”

A bell rings and Frank enters the post office where Eddie is freaking out about a beetle in the office. Apparently, it has been rummaging around, making a mess of things, so Eddie called Frank to catch it. Frank teases him and catches the beetle, taking it away.

POV- We are next to a pile of paper chains and paper, looking down at them.

9. “Answer”

Poppy is trying a new recipe out, one that involves fruit and seeds, with no gelatin. Frank comforts her as they talk about the food. Frank references that if the muffins were shaped into butterflies and had the seeds in them, that could’ve saved his garden from the previous episodes. Poppy is so worried she will burn or hurt herself in some way as she takes out the muffins and Frank reassures her, asking Wally to assure that everyone is safe and sound.

POV- We are looking down at a plate and an apple shaped game of tic-tac-toe. A tray of fruit and seed muffins slide onto the table, and later a handkerchief or towel is put down beside it.

10. “Answer”

Sally is rehearsing a play where Julie is princess turned queen and house is her knight in shining armor. Julie is supposed to be reading from the script but she keeps adding wacky lines declared as law, which in turn frustrates Sally. Sally lets it go and then emphasizes how difficult directing is to Wally.

POV- We are looking at a script procured by Sally, showing the lines that Julie is supposed to be reading.

11. “Answer”

Julie is making jokes to Barnaby and says that they are absolutely terrible. Julie continues to try and prove that they’re good, exclaiming that Frank thinks she is funny too. Barnaby continues to tease her, and Julie tries to get Wally to agree that she’s funny.

POV- We are looking at the leaves as the sun peers through them. It looks as if it were sunset.

12. “Answer”

Howdy is telling a story about his very extensive family members and Barnaby acts to be interested, trying to follow along in Howdy’s tale. Barnaby makes some jokes about the play-on-words and they both laugh. Then Howdy asks Wally how his drink is.

POV- We look down at a table with a sundae to our right and a spoon and a blue swirly straw to our left. The tablecloth is striped red and white.

13. “Answer”

Eddie delivers a bunch of packages to Howdy and finds he needs to deliver a bunch of bowling balls to Julie.

POV- We are looking at a bunch of multicolored apples.

14. "Answer"

Barnaby is making jokes to House who replies with squeaks and creeks. Barnaby then makes a joke that House doesn’t like and Barnaby tries to prove that he is funny. Then Barnaby notices that Wally has stopped painting and is acting weird.

POV- We are starring at a blob of white paint and a blob or red paint.

What I think TMBS characters’ Spotify Wrapped would look like based entirely on vibes and my incredibly biased opinions:

Reynie

Reynie is introspective, the most openly emotional one in the group (i mean he literally declared how much he loves hugs in the S2 finale) and I 100% headcanon him as a hopeless romantic. We also know that he really likes literature and language, so I think he would like music that puts a lot of emphasis on lyrics. The first obvious artists I could think of were artists like Taylor Swift or maybe Conan Gray, and while he would probably enjoy these artists, I get the feeling he probably leans more indie-folk (because he’s a hipster and we all know it). Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell and maybe even Bob Dylan would suit Reynie’s confessional and heart-on-his-sleeve sort of attitude. For his more casual listens I could see him enjoying the likes of Fleetwood Mac, The Zombies and for more modern music perhaps Lucy Dacus, Flyte and Fleet Foxes. Now Reynie is definitely the type of person to have a ton of hyper-specific playlists for every single emotion he’s feeling and he also makes playlists for his friends and family all the time (he’s the sole cause behind Mr Benedict’s embarrassing 80s synth-pop phase). Ms Perumal plays a lot of Norah Jones, Duffy and Amy Winehouse so naturally, that trickles down into the bottom tracks of Reynie’s Spotify Wrapped list. 

Top artist: Fleetwood Mac

Top track: Wild World - Cat Stevens

Sticky

While I could easily dismiss Sticky by saying that he probably only listens to classical music because that’s what smart people do that’s boring so let’s. have. fun. Given Sticky’s anxiety and overall state of mind, I think he would enjoy artists like Leith Ross and Orla Gartland whose music he can easily relate to. I also think he’s the kind of person who listens to everything his friends (though mostly Reynie let’s be honest) recommend, so his Spotify Wrapped would be a weird mix of everything from show tunes (thanks to Mr Benedict) to metal to hip-hop. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Sticky likes to listen to male manipulator music, but not because he’s actually like that, he just appreciates the music (plus some “cool” people at Boatwright recommended it to him). So The Smiths, Radiohead and dare I say Weezer would be on his playlists. I feel like Sticky is the type of person who reads/studies in complete silence, but for those moments when he wants some ambience I can totally see him pulling out some nice jazz records. Sticky likes to be organized, so he has playlists divided by genre and artist (though not so much the overall mood of the music). 

Top artist: Orla Gartland

Top track: Back To The Old House - The Smiths 

Kate

My headcanon is that most of the music Kate knows is from the circus where every night they’d get together and play on some janky DIY instruments and out-of-tune guitars (Kate would play a washboard or kazoo. argue with the wall). So when she finally gets the chance to listen to recorded music, she naturally gravitates towards what she recognizes. This ends up being a lot of classic rock like The Rolling Stones, AC/DC and of course Joan Jett & the Blackhearts as well as more folk-style musicians like Bob Dylan and The Mamas & The Papas. I can also see her and Milligan sitting together out on the farm and enjoying a Bob Dylan or Patsy Cline record together. Because of this, Kate doesn’t listen to a lot of newer music, but like Sticky, she’d be open to most genres and whatever her friends recommend. As a result, I think Kate would have the widest range of genres on her Spotify Wrapped. On the one hand, I feel like she’d be drawn to Florence + The Machine and Odie Leigh, but I can also picture her sitting in one of the apple trees at the farm blasting some The Cranberries or Green Day when she’s feeling extra angsty. Maybe even something more Soul/R&B like Al Green and Lauryn Hill? Despite this large variety, Kate would also be the type of person to have just one playlist titled “Kate’s Playlist” that contains like a thousand songs (it hasn’t been edited in four years and she skips most of the songs). 

Top artist: The Rolling Stones

Top track: Crimson and Clover - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, 

Constance

Given Constance’s vocal distaste for rhyming poetry, I get the feeling that she would have an equally vocal distaste for music. She’d call it “grating noise for simpletons” or something, but Mr Benedict gets her a Spotify account anyways because he just knows. And indeed, when no one’s around, Constance will blast some aggressively juvenile pop and dance around her room, because ultimately, she’s still a child. I feel like she would also love The Oh Hellos (who don’t fit into the “aggressively juvenile pop”-category, but still) and their storytelling. We do learn that Constance does appreciate art, so I think an artist with a particularly striking voice like Leontyne Price or Luciano Pavarotti (both Opera singers) would move her to tears. Overall, however, I feel like Constance doesn’t listen to a whole lot of music and when she does she doesn’t pay much mind to the artist. She also refuses to have any playlists (except for the ones she’s created by accident). 

Top artist: Honestly, who knows (in my heart of hearts i want to say Carly Rae Jepsen just to be chaotic) 

Top track: Soldier, Poet, King - The Oh Hellos

Bonus! SQ (because i love my son) 

Much like himself, SQ would like music that’s softer and sad as hell. The first to come to mind are Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver and Gregory Alan Isakov (and I know for a fact that SQ listens to Phoebe Bridgers and Boygenius). But I could also see artists like Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and The Smiths with their more upbeat melancholia be added to his playlists (along with any song about having a complicated relationship with your father/parent). Apart from that one cursed scene in S2, we don’t see Curtain enjoying any music, but I can definitely see him making sure that SQ doesn’t listen to anything he deems “unsophisticated” or “vulgar” (so no Rage Against The Machine for SQ unfortunately). When Curtain and SQ do listen to music together, it’s often classical music when they’re sitting in silence together in Curtain’s office. Since SQ is a very creative person, I can see him being drawn to more experimental stuff like Björk, Radiohead or Kino. 

Top artist: Sufjan Stevens 

Top track: Should Have Known Better - Sufjan Stevens
