#i also think she and isabella are a super interesting pair

[immobiliter]

she's not on the blog yet but i am just consumed by love for nancy birch always. she is the Scary One, she created that perception of herself for protection against the world after how badly she was mistreated at quigley's (compared to the other girls), she's the dominatrix on russell street who everyone is a little bit wary of and can drag a kidnapped nobleman gagged and blindfolded through the streets of london with nobody even batting an eye but she is !! full of !!! SO MUCH !! love !! she has loved margaret nearly her entire life, she extends that love to margaret's entire family without question, she cares so much for all of the other girls in the show, she is the first one to reach out to emily in s1, she reminds margaret of how, after leaving lydia, they wanted to demonstrate in their respective houses that there was a different, fairer way of running a brothel to the way lydia did, she looks like she's killed a man but she is absolutely beside herself when she actually pulls the trigger and it happens, she would do anything for those she cares about and she gives out some of the best advice to others. i just. lies down

[feeling--pink]

My Sweet Ride is an amazing episode of Phineas and Ferb and the only thing bad about it I that I wish we could have seen more people in full out 1950s clothes!! So I did that!! (Also including some MML kids because I love them and don’t draw them enough!)

Anyways!! If y’all want to see me rant about 1950s stuff for a very long time because I had a blast doing research for this project you should click the keep reading!! :D

Okay a quick prelude!! Not only am I going to talk about outfits I designed, but while doing research I was blown away about the attention to detail the original designers had for these outfits and characters so I’m going to talk about their outfits too! :D

Here are my sources if you want to look into this btw!! :D

Candace

Okay I’m going to start out by saying I just adore this outfit

That has nothing to do with anything I just really love it!!

I’m thinking I might make one of my own for Halloween but that’s off-topic

Okay- 1950s clothing!!

Candace is wearing a blouse (?) with a cardigan over the top, and a pleated swing skirt.

This is a classic 1950s girl’s style

More specifically its also a classic “preppy good kid” look

Which Candace absolutely is!!

Y’all should notice that all the skirts are past knee-length, which was standard of the time.

Candace also has a neck scarf, a common accessory, and a headband.

Ribbon headbands were still a thing in the 50s but the hard plastic headband was also coming into style in the later 1950s.

She’s wearing a pair of saddle shoes which were one of the popular options of the time among boys and girls

Her hair is long with curls at the end, another classic teenager look in the 50s!

While short hair was more popular among adult women, teenage girls often kept theirs long with slight curls on the end!

Bangs were also standard, but usually shorter than how I drew them

Sorry that bit’s inaccurate through all of them, it’s just easier for me to draw long!

Finally, in case you had any doubt about Candace’s outfit being time period, here’s an advertisement from the article I read:

Vanessa

To start off we have a blouse and pencil shirt for Vanessa

Pencil and swing skirts were the two most common skirts of the time

She’s also wearing a belt, which I modified slightly to look like-

The wide contour belt on the bottom right!

She’s also wearing a pillbox hat, one of the popular hats of the time!

Hats were generally not worn by teenagers because they were seen as “mature” 

But that fits pretty well with Vanessa’s character

It’s the same story with the pumps, which I also changed lightly to match time period ones a bit more

Now what made me make my original post about the outfits in My Sweet Ride was actually the hair

Specifically, Vanessa’s hair is modeled after the Bettie Page style

This hair wasn’t actually that popular with the masses because it was seen as too simple, not classy, etc.

BUT it was popular among rebel girls in the USA

And like!!!!!! Y’all the designers did SUCH a good job to get down into details like that!!!!!!!!

But yeah her outfit’s great!! Next one!

Stacy

For Stacy, I decided to change things up slightly and give her a dress!

Specifically, it’s a shirtwaist dress, which I modeled after the reference below

Why the shirtwaist dress you may ask? Idk I think they’re neat

I thought it fit the vibe I was going for so I did that one I don’t know what to tell you jkdshsf-

Okay so generally, the belt wouldn’t have been a different color but I wanted to tie the green I used in a little more

Btw sorry I changed her color scheme a bit

I honestly haven’t fully figured out her original color scheme so I modified it a bit so it would look nice for this!

Pastels were very popular in the summer after all

I tried to stick to everyone else’s original color scheme though!

Stacy also has a headband tied up into a bow, which was standard

And to change things up I put her in a ponytail (with the end curled) which was popular with the teens!

Sklsdjhdkj I sound very “how do you do fellow teens“ while writing this that’s unintentional sorry

Shoes are penny loafers, another popular shoe at the time

I liked the little bows on the ends of some of the ones I saw and thought it was very Stacy!

That’s about it for her!

Phineas

This has nothing to do with anything but I love drawing Phineas

He’s just a funky little triangle!! I love him!

I’ll admit here that I didn’t look into men’s hairstyles, so you won’t hear about that from me sorry!

Phineas is wearing a black button-up, standard. 

Black and white matched everything so they were the most common undershirt colors

Over that, he has a jacket that looks to be varsity jacket inspired, which was seen as super cool!

Full jeans were coming into popularity in the 50s but only with the younger generations

Finally, he also has saddle shoes like Candace does

So yeah it’s a solid 1950s outfit!!

Ferb

Ferb’s a greaser, need I say more?

No, really he has everything

The white t-shirt and jeans combo is exactly the greaser look, so much so that most teenagers avoided it to not fall into stereotypes

Tighter fit jeans were coming into style in the later 50s, so that’s also accurate

The leather jacket just amplifies the greaser look

The one thing is that for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what shoes he was wearing

So I gave him a pair of sho-loks and called it a day!

More about sho-loks in Milo’s portion!

Isabella

Isabella makes an appearance with the first (and only) poodle skirt of the group!!

Poodle skirts, while definitely what most people think about when you say the 50s, actually weren’t that popular among teenagers

The embroidered designs were seen as childish, so children and preteens wore them the most

But here’s a fun tidbit you may not have caught from the show, Isabella is, in fact, a child

(I don’t know why I built that up so much sorry ldksjfhkds)

Anyways I decided if I was going to give anyone a classic poodle skirt it might as well be Isabella!

I modeled it after this poodle skirt:

She’s also wearing a blouse with a peter pan collar, the most popular collar of the time

Another headband tied into a bow because it’s Isabella I had to give her a bow

Standard belt (nothing really to say about that)

And another pair of penny loafers with little bows because they’re cute gosh darn it!

Milo

Okay, I’ve been writing for a while but honestly a lot of the rest of these I just drew directly from reference so…

I did say I would talk about shu-loks here though and I will!!!

Now we know Milo is shoelace-adverse

And while there are plenty of slip-on options I found the shu-lok to be fascinating!!

As you can see above, the tongue snaps down to keep the shoe on your foot!! Isn’t that cool? :D

So yeah I gave Milo those!!  

Zack

We know Zack plays football so I gave him your standard sporty outfit

Sorry I just find girls outfits infinitely more interesting so I kinda focused on those skjhgfdss

Oh! I do have something to say here!!

Converse were your typical sports shoe for the 50s so he has those!! Almost forgot that tidbit!!

Yeah, thick soles with wrinkles and stuff were seen as cool among teens so they got popular!

Melissa

Finally, we have some patterned pants!!

Yeah- checkers, plaid, stripes, polka dots, etc. were all very popular!!

I just didn’t want to draw them a lot ‘cause it’s hard sksfjdhgs-

But I gave Melissa checkers because it would get the black and white of her color scheme and I liked the way the checkered pants looked!!

Girls did wear pants at the time by the way!!

During summer and weekends mostly since they weren’t allowed to wear them to school

Short-sleeved turtle necks were also a thing and I thought that combo would look neat!!

Also, converse because it went with the outfit and that’s kinda what she’s wearing in the show!

Hair in a ponytail and side part bangs, both popular!

Yeah okay, that’s about it for Melissa!

Amanda

By this point, y’all are hopefully getting the gist of 50s fashion so we’re going fast now

Blouse, swing skirt, penny loafers (different style but still penny loafers), headband

(here’s what I modeled the whole thing after:)

I do want to mention the pullover sweater because I thought I should include one and I really like the flower embroidery on them

Then finally we come to her hair!! I already mentioned the headband but I was specifically modeling her hair in the pageboy style which looks like this:

Obviously, it looks a little stylized but what can you do?

And that’s it!! I had so much fun doing research and designing this and I think they all turned out pretty good!! I’m going to do more go this in the futures so if there's someone in particular you’d like to see let me know!! I’m planning on doing Cavendish, Dakota, and Sara at least in the next batch!! 

[authenticcadence18]

I need to know more about your mlp wordgirl phi ness and ferb au

OK this has been in my inbox for awhile but I think I’m ready to answer it now🤣

SO. In 2012, my primary fandoms were WordGirl, Phineas and Ferb, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. So, I did what any 12 yr old with a lot of free time and a passion for writing convoluted stories would do: I combined them into a crossover fic!!! I never actually finished it (it kinda spiraled out of control😅), but I had a a ton of fun with it! As of now it’s over 20,000k words long. Each chapter was written in first-person/present-tense from the perspective of one of three characters: Isabella, Becky, or Twilight Sparkle. (And yes. It had a Phinabella subplot.)

I’ll provide a bit of context and explain the story beneath the cut, for anyone who’s interested😅

Of these three shows, I’m assuming yall are least likely to know about WordGirl, SO! The main character, Becky, is a 10 1/2 yr old humanoid super-powered alien who crash landed on earth as a baby, was adopted by an earthen family, and became a superhero: WordGirl. As her alias implies, she’s very passionate about vocabulary (the show aired on PBS Kids and that was the educational aspect of it).

ALRIGHT SO. In the story! Becky’s family goes to visit the Flynn-Fletcher family (because their moms were friends in college or something😂). While there, Phineas and Ferb offer to take Becky to her home planet (I don’t think she revealed her identity to them, maybe she just expressed interest in visiting there). So she, her little brother TJ, Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and Isabella (OBVI) get in a spaceship….but they end up crash-landing on another planet which just so happens to be EQUESTRIA, where My Little Pony takes place. Each character is paired off with one of the six mane (ahaha���..🥲) MLP characters, which ultimately would’ve led to each human character also being paired with an Element of Harmony for the climactic final battle I never got around to writing. (Twilight Sparkle is paired with Becky since they’re both “book smart” and have powers…and because they’re my favorites of course I paired them, lol!). Twilight Sparkle also finds a prophecy about “bipedal beings” (aka our Phineas and Ferb/WordGirl characters) and a catastrophe, so when they arrive, it freaks her out a little. The ponies and humans all go to Canterlot, which is like the royal capital of Equestria, to visit the princess, and they bond with one another along the way.

NOW. In My Little Pony, there’s these creatures called “changelings.” Changelings can shapeshift, and they gain power by feeding off of love. Like, in my favorite My Little Pony episode, a changeling impersonates another character’s fiancé and uses their love to grow stronger. In my story, one of the mane 6 ponies is replaced by a changeling pretty early on. That changeling’s job is to discover a strong source of love in the group so they can impersonate the recipient of said love and yall know my brand I think you can see where I’m going with this🤣.

So! Phineas gets replaced with a changeling and said changeling briefly tries to woo Isabella, except Isabella can tell he’s not acting like himself, tells him off for it, and subsequently gets captured and replaced herself (since if she doesn’t love Phineas anymore, she’s of no use to the changelings). Becky eventually finds out about the plan using her superpowers but she’s discovered and ALSO replaced with a changeling. And Twilight I think is just trying to figure out more about the prophecy. The story would have ended with an epic battle against the changelings, the humans and ponies using the elements of harmony to fight, AND a Phinabella confession (because of course it would have). The story also features a parody of a My Little Pony song sung by Isabella about her feelings for Phineas AND an appearance by my very own self-insert pony OC😌.

So yeah! That’s the PnF/WordGirl/MLP crossover fic I wrote when i was 12 in a nutshell!! It’s very over-dramatic and cheesy, but I had a lot of fun writing it. I doubt I’ll ever finish it, but reminiscing makes me happy😊. (Maybe I should draw art of sometime or rewrite a scene or two, just for fun!!)

[woulddieforperrytheplatypus]

Dan Povenmire, co-creator of Phineas and Ferb and the voice of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, just did a zoom call for fans, and this is a link to it on Google Drive and a link to it on YouTube.

Here’s a brief overlay brought to you by my incessant live blogging, and because I was speed typing on my phone, I can guarantee not everything made the cut. If you’re interested in hearing Dan talk about growing up an artist and becoming an animator and trying to pitch Phineas and Ferb and working on the show and movies, I would definitely suggest checking out the full 75 minute video. The highlights from the call are below the cut.

They added Doof and Perry because they liked chase scenes. They realized fairly quickly that more than not, the pair led to good comedy, and found it much more interesting to see how their relationship developed. He also says that they are "the most important person to each other” and “they’re really good friends.”

They wrote the Perry theme song in an hour between meetings with Disney

They decided during the pilot that they weren't going to try to get comedy from the characters saying mean things to each other. Even Doofenshmirtz wasn't motivated by evil, he just wanted to get the attention he didn't get at home.

Doof’s backstories were not Dan and Swampy's idea. They were from Jon Barry and Chris Hendrick, who [itched the lawn gnome backstory. It was long and compliated and Dan and Swampy couldn’t stop laughing. They also provided the "it all started on the day of my birth” one the next day.

making the 2D movie while making the movie was the busiest Dan says he has ever been, and that's not even counting the PnF Take Two and Doof's web show and all the interviews. Basically, 2010ish was a very busy time in the Dwampyverse.

They decided to give each pair of writers their own section of an outline to work on, and each pair got to make up the dialogue and jokes based on it. it works well for the show, but writers kept going on their own tangents and the movie ended up like 6 hours long. Dan and Kyle Menke had to redraw 80% of the show because they had to cut gags out and rewrite it so it was still funny. Note: in the new movie, they did the opposite — they wrote a script and told the board artists that they could put brief gags in but nothing too long

He thinks the show became one of the most beloved shows bc it was innocent and the adult humor wasn't dirty so the whole family could watch it together. He also said the songs at the closest thing you get to immortality in a show. Those combined made the show as big of a hit as it was, and hopefully those things will get older people to watch the movie.

His advice if you want to follow in his footsteps are to draw (and suggest you check out Cartoon Animation by Preston Blaire and How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way by Stan Lee) and to know that these jobs are out there

One of his favorite gags in PnF are the silent moments where something big happens and no one reacts (like something big fell in an early episode and crashed next to Phineas and co and at first they were all shocked but Dan changed it to them just kinda looking at it for a moment with no emotion)

Q: Did you ever want to quit what you were going?

A: "I don't really... do... anything else..."

He finished his new pilot today (July 2nd, 2020) and the movie is due tomorrow.

He would love to do more PnF and there's been talks of another PnF movie

He would love to do more Milo Murphy's Law, but it never got huge ratings and Disney's not too big on it but if people start watching it on Disney+ they might get to keep doing it. They did that with Family Guy, and it could happen to MML too.

The movie feels like old Phineas and Ferb and there are a lot of great songs! 

And now, the Q&A (in which he draws random characters are he talks)

How was the process of kicking the voices?

It was sometime easy but sometimes very difficult. For Phineas, they listened to maybe a thousand people. they actually recorded someone but they put it to animation and it didn't really work. He knew as soon as he heard Vincent that he loved him. They literally recasted the lead (Vincent) the day before they had to deliver the pilot.

He knew immediately that he liked Alison Stoner. She was the second Isabella he heard, and he listened to maybe 50 others afterwards, but he knew he wanted Alison Stoner

They decided on a different Candace and they sent it to the head of the channel and the guy asked if he heard Ashley Tisdale. He told Dan to have her come in and give her direction and Dan was hesitant bc he had one that he liked but he was lowkey forced to bring her in. It was his only audition that day, and after his big block of text Dan gave her like 20 notes and she wrote the notes on the big block of text and she did it again and it was perfect and obviously Candace (but he feels bad for the actress that was almost Candace bc she'll never know how close she was)

What was the most impactful episode you worked on?

Either the last (hard to watch w/o crying) or three moments that made himcey while doing them: the end of Summer Belongs To You when Phineas gives up trying to get off the island and decides to watch the sunset with Isabella which was what she always wanted and she exploded and talked him back up onto being the person he is even tho it's a sacrifice on her behalf. He later says he started crying while pitching to his wife the AYA scene of Phinabella getting together.

Do you regret any episodes?

There are some he likes more and some he likes less but he doesn't regret any of them. He was a little disappointed in an early episode without a sing but he watched it alter and decided it was actually pretty decent. None of them make him cringe or wonder why they did that.

How has social media impacted PnF?

He recently got on TikTok and found out that's where all the PnF fans are. He was thrilled to see the response everything was getting and it made him feel good about everything he accomplished. The fact that this generation knows what an aglet is is his biggest accomplishment in pop culture.

Favorite part of working on the show/movie

He likes editing, but writing the songs is the most fun bc it feels the least like work

Who is Ferb's mom?

Never established or really thought about Ferb's mom or Phineas's dad AND IT'S NOT DOOFENSHMIRTZ THEY MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THAT TO BE TRUE STOP ASKING and Phineas and Candace are full brother and sister. The bio parents aren't interesting to them bc the family already has a mom and dad and the other ones are just out of the picture and not important.

Will there be a new character in the movie?

Super Super Big Doctor (and Disney keeps telling him what he can and can't talk about)

Are there any secrets or theories that he can tell them?

The freaking creepy pasta about schitzophrenic Candace IS NOT TRUE Phineas and Ferb do exist and are alive. There's also a theory that Candace is not based on the diary of a teen girl in Russia who killed herself, and that's not true either. He genuinely thinks they are really freaking stupid theories and they make no sense at all.

Who is your favorite guest star?

Writing a song with Slash from Guns n Roses was really cool. He also liked working with Ben Stiller, Christian Slater the delivery guy (he called and said he'd do any part in MML so they wrote him a role), Jack McBrayer (Irving/Fix It Felix), Wayne Brady (co-wrote In The Empire)

What is the motivation of Candace to bust the boys?

He's not trying to hurt them. She doesn't dislike them. She gets irritated but she's really just looking for fairness. If she built a rollercoaster in the backyard, she'd get in trouble, so they should get in trouble, too.

How did you think about hot to end the show?

Disney was starting to cool off on PnF. The merch wave had plateaued. Dan and Swampy had the next two years in the show already made, but Disney wouldn't pick up another season until they finished airing that season. They'd have to restaff for a new season and they didn't like that idea, so they turned one of their hour long specials into the finale. He wanted to be able to say goodbye and thank the fans.

(PnF) Headcanon #11 Thomarie Nitpicks #2 Pt.1 Clothing

This is sort of a sister post to post #6 & #7, it mentions characters from post #6, and is connected to my current series of post about the problems I have with the MnT(Marie and Thomas) Universe. I want to make it clear that I like these characters...to an extent, but to another extent I don't. I want the best for them as they were a big part of my childhood, and so in this post I want to make some tweaks to their clothing and personalities, as I find them currently sporadic and dated.

*Disclaimer: The MnT Universe is centered around (OC)Maria Flynn & (OC)Thomas Fletcher. Marie belongs to angelus19 & sam-ely-ember deviantart. Thomas Belongs to Melty64.

Maria's Child Clothing: Okay, so a lot of people have made the claim that Maria's design is generic which I will not deny. It's a blatant ripe off of her mothers clothes with a change of color palette, and while I enjoy the idea of Phineas designing her clothes to be that way, it's a waste of potential(as are most things I will mention in this post). Maria canonically adores France, and in my headcanon was born there, so I think some Parisian style could be added to this design. I'd draw instead of writing about this, but I have no artistic talent. For starters, based on my research(as I myself am not French)puffed sleeves are a common occurrence in French clothing culture, so giving Marie puffed sleeves in place of her mothers regular ones would be nice. Instead of basic shoes, ankle boots are also a common item in French clothing followed by white and/or black tights. Now, ironically enough the style of belt Isabella has on her clothes is similar to a French Skinny belt called a Maison Boinet, so just change it from being one color to a light brown with a metal clip, and it can stay-as can the main outfit. Lastly, to quote https://leoncechenal.com/french-girl-style-guide/ 'And I think the ultimate goal of all French girls is to find their own style (what they like and what they don’t) and to stick to it.', so in summary this doesn't need to look perfect or fancy it just needs to look natural.

Maria's Teen Clothing: Okay, this one is even worse in my opinion, but the whole one color thing is killing me! So, for this I did a COMPLETE recall and came up with this; A purple beret, orange bow wrapped around her neck mimicking a Parisian scarf, dressed in an orange & purple horizontal striped sweater dress that hangs off her shoulders, and a pair of black single buckle ballet flats. She would have a gold chain-link belt to replace her Maison Boinet one, a cameo necklace of the Virgin Mary, and a gold choker with small bells. Based on my research actual Beret's aren't that common in French culture anymore, though ironically striped shirts and dresses are, but Marie's is canonically the one her mother wore in the episode 'Summer Belongs to You' and familial connection is super important to Maria-so I decided to keep it. I kept her Garcia-Shapiro bow as I am appalled they tried to get rid of Isabella's in AYA(Act your Age)! Vivian clearly still has her from when she was young, and I believe every Garcia-Shapiro who wants one should keep them to some extent throughout their life! Off shoulder tops and dresses are pretty common in France as are sweaters, so I gave Maria an off shoulder sweater dress. And, ballet flats are some of the most common footwear for woman in  France, they have many styles like the single buckle that don't actually look like ballet flats we American's would usually associate with ballet. The jewelry wore by French woman is wore all the time, and is rarely below the quality of 10-carrot gold. Layering necklaces of different sizes such as a cameo necklaces and a choker is normal, and chain-link belts are considered appropriate for any and every outfit. Chokers are a bit longer than some might expect them to be, and I went with a cameo necklace of the Virgin Mary as I headcanon Maria to be a serious Jew. Lastly, make-up in the French world is some of the most neutral in color and shade, so I gave Maria a soft pink lip and nose bridge blush at best.

Thomas' Child Clothing: I heavily dislike Thomas' child design. It lacks any personality in my opinion when compared to Ferbs or Vanessa's. I appreciate that it isn't a ripe off like Marie's, but that doesn't make it good or interesting. Also, this ties into my biggest problem with Thomas, but he's too...boyish. There is nothing wrong with having a practically boyish character, but that kind of personality and style is better used on a character intended to be boyish, and not characters who happen to be boys. I mean Thomas is the son of one of the most headcanon'd nonbinary characters in the whole show, and one of the most headcanon'd bisexual's in the whole show. This is why I mentioned these characters being a bit dated. They definitely came out before LGBTQ+ representation became popular in the fandom-at least compared to the extent of today. So, for Thomas I want to propose a few heavy changes to his child design, starting with...SKIRTS. I petition Thomas to have an either black & white(or purple and green), plaid skirt that reaches his knees. This style of skirt is popular in both British and German(Drusselstein) clothing culture, and is something his family would so support! I mean the potential Thomas has for normalizing clothing as gender neutral is being completely wasted! A white polo shirt inspired by his fathers and his original design underneath. A tweed blazer-of the same color scheme-which is considered always in style in Britain, and the Haferlschuh which are the most popular type of shoe found in Germany-and suit any outfit. Add some tracht socks in white and you have the perfect style!

Thomas' Teen Clothing: This design wasn't horrible, I actually quite like the overall vibe it was going for, but it's not specific enough. I don't find this design to be more than a vibe; It doesn't go deeper than that when it could. So, I summarized it into this; Ripped up, leather pants, sleeveless, white turtleneck, high-heeled, black boots, and to top it all off a trench coat and leather satchel. Considering Thomas is the lead singer and bass guitarist for a classic/heavy rock band I think some ripped leather pants with a bell bottom are perfect. I kept the sleeveless, white classic turtleneck that came from his original design as I do think it's appropriate. I also wanted to pay homage to his mothers almost iconic heels by giving Thomas a similar pair himself; A pair of black, over the knee boots, with a stiletto heel. The trench coat MADE his original design, and the traditional leather satchel is a perfect accent to it, both are British classics in the world of fashion.

Thomas' Rock Outfit: I'm added a subsection for Thomas' clothes as we NEED to talk about his band outfit. I want to say this first, I don't like the original name for the band. Clair is a generic name that doesn't sound too rock-ish in my opinion. It's supposed to represent Maria as it is a French girls name, but it's too simple for someone like Thomas. So, I changed it to Église des Gémeaux which represents Maria in more ways. The name literally translate to Church of Gemini from French to English. It represents Maria's French heritage, her connection to her Jewish Religious roots, and contains a reference to her birth month of June-her birth sign Gemini. The band in itself is canonically represented by The Spill Canvas which is an American Alternative rock band which I also changed. I gave the band a more Eisbrecher/Queen style as Thomas is German(Drusselstein)/British. Eisbrecher is a German Neue Deutsche Härte rock band(translating to New German Hardness aka Industrial Rock), and most of us know Queen the British rock band known for helping to start the rock genre making them a Classic rock band. Major headcanon to this band I want to add, Thomas primarily sings in German(Drusselstein) as he himself has a heavy German(Drusselstein)/British accent. His canonical outfit is a leather top similar to his mothers teenage attire, some basic jeans, and some black boots. I have rewritten this design as such; Ripped up, bell bottom, leather pants, long-sleeve, purple, deep V-neck top, covered by a studded, leather jacket, and keeping his pair of black, over the knee boots, with a stiletto heel. Accent this outfit with some studded, leather cuff bracelets, silver chain choker, and industrial piercing as well as some crescent moon 2nd/Upper lobe piercings. Now, the style of rock/punk is highly personal and changes heavily from generation to generation, but as someone whose family is highly involved in the antique business; It can be expected that Thomas would have a classic rock style inspired by the band he loves such as Eisbrecher, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Mozart L'Opéra rock, Amon Düül II, etc. Some of the elements of his outfit repeat such as his pants and heels, though his deep V-neck is inspired by a picture of Queen. His studded jacket is inspired by MANY rockers of the past. And, his jewelry has a very punk aesthetic. His make-up can be expected to be heavy with intense eyeliner, mascaras, and aided with a plum lip to match his V-neck. While I do enjoy the Grunge style take for Fred & Xavier; I personally find it underwhelming for someone such as Thomas.

I'll end the post here for now as it's getting pretty long. I'll make a post about personality changes at a later point(likely my next post). If you have any questions, comments, etc about what changes I've made feel free to share them! If you have any expertise with French, German, British, or Rock attire and believe I've been misinformed than please tell me! I remind you I am not an expert on fashion, character design, and am only aware of American trends. These changes are entire based on what knowledge is available to me, and my own personal feelings about clothes and characters, but I'm open to learning! I apologize if my opinions come off as harsh, I am merely opinionated about things I enjoy, but I hold no ill-will towards anyone who thinks differently. At the end of the day, I don't own Marie or Thomas or Phineas and Ferb, and am merely expressing my freedom to make or suggest changes. I encourage anyone reading this post to do the same, and be has intense as you feel, of course WITHOUT being insulting of the people you disagree with. Thank you!

Ah yes, I'm starting this fic without even having an idea what the middle will be, Lol. How I love that. Right now I have this fic in plan and one for the Snow Queen fandom (Which practically is dead or is alive, but in Russian only) so I'm giving it here a try as I actually planned to start this one first and Snow Queen just fell into my life by accident. (As usual, a ship pulled me into the fandom along with Amy MacDonald because why not?) (I also have the interest in a Crossover between MLB and SNow Queen, because I just love the idea of RollanxGerda with their elemental powers as superheroes in a lovesquare too xD I need to outline that once I got ideas.

Additional note:

- All mentioned offsprings, classmates, and random are actual OC's of mine.

Nathaniel Kurtzberg sat on the couch of the Kurtzberg household face timing with his wife Lila Kurtzberg, which was out for a few months in Italy due to her work as an actress.

„Today really was now the last day of our recordings here. Tomorrow in the morning I will catch the train to head back to Paris. That one will go directly to France and has only one stop in Turin," Lila explained making Nathaniel nod.

„How many episodes are now in front of me until the one you recorded today?"

„Uhm I think you have 18. We are currently at 42. But you will enjoy the last few episodes, cause my character Isabella will......nah I can't spoiler you that, but you will be surprised," Lila quoted making Nathaniel frown.

„Oh now I'm curious,"

„Hey, I already told you why I had to dye my hair in black and brown lens. You have to wait for it along with the other viewers,"

„Can I at least know if it will end in a cliffhanger?"

„Duh of course. It's the end of the season, that's to keep the tension high," Lila answered. „But I can tell you there will be a few new faces and one of them you may recognize very well,"

„Who? Any of your aunts?" Nathaniel questioned making Lila shake her head.

„No it's Wayhem," Lila responded. „He will have a minor role as a class clown. He is actually pretty decent for that role. At least in the tryouts he was,"

„Thanks to Gabriel he made it there too. That's actually cool,"

„It really is," Lila agreed.

From behind the couch where Nathaniel sat appeared a small girl, which jumped up at the couch on Nathaniel causing him to yelp and the girl with the long brown hair looked at the smartphone to see the raven-haired woman on the other side of the electronic device.

„Hi mama" The girl greeted her mother, which smiled enchanted at seeing the daughter on her husband's lap.

„Hi bella, where have you been?" Lila asked at the sudden appearance of the girl.

„I think Nathalie was working on something special for you," Answered the redhead gazing into the blue eyes of the daughter, which winked back at the man. „But as it is a surprise you can't know it until you're here," „You two are being really mean," Lila joked crossing her arms pretending to be mad at the decision of the two blue-eyed family members.

„Come on pumpkin. You'll see it tomorrow when you get back. I'm sure it will blow your mind, right Nathalie?" Nathaniel asked earning a nod from the daughter.

„Well then the only thing I have to do is to wait until tomorrow," Lila added earning a nod from Nathaniel. „Has anything special changed during the time I was gone?"

„Well, what happened.....yes Sabrina is pregnant. I've heard that from Adrien. Adrien has next Friday his exam again, which he had failed two times before and I think that's it so far. Tomorrow also I will attend the first school day of Nathalie along with Luka and Kagami with their son,"

„That's great Nathy, and Nathalie I don't know what your dad said, but don't forget to brush your teeth before going to bed," Lila warned earning a nod from Nathaniel.

„We took care of it. I promised to let her watch your show tonight if you're okay with it,"

„Okay. It's actually rated 13+, but just the last few episodes I would rather not let her watch,"

„Okay it's fine," Nathaniel responded. "I'm here for her,"

„Look I'm finishing the call for now. I'm going to visit Nana before leaving,"

„Okay, be careful," Nathaniel warned making Lila chuckle.

„Don't worry with Trixx around me, I'm safe," Lila assured earning a nod from the husband.

„See you tomorrow,"

„Bye Nathy," Lila said sending Nathaniel an air kiss, then Nathaniel turned the call off and picked the remote to turn the TV on, which was showing a commercial of Wayhem holding a cereal package in his hands.

„Nutty by Nature. The new cereals for young and teens containing almonds, raisins, and walnuts. Try it out. This may contain nuts and gluten. Suggested to be served with milk or yogurt,"

„Isn't that the cereal you wanted to try out?" Nathaniel questioned sitting up on the couch, followed by Nathalie which sat beside the father.

„No, it had Ladybug on it," Nathalie mentioned earning a nod from the redhead.

„Okay, we can see it next Wednesday during shopping," Nathaniel said, then watched on the TV the logo of an Italian studio appear, then Nathaniel placed his hand on his daughter's shoulder. „Look Nathalie the show is about to start," Nathaniel said putting the TV a little louder as the logos had played a 90th themed song in the background and showed a coyote near a road in the middle of the desert howl leading to the start of the intro and a car pass by on the road, then the theme song of the show began to play which was a pop-rock remix making Nathalie dance with her head amused at the song.

„Cool," Nathalie commented afterward she smiled brightly as she recognized in the intro her mother walk towards the camera, then under her married full name was blended in and Nathalie looked up at Nathaniel, which smiled at seeing her name on the screen.

„And what do you think of mom?" Nathaniel questioned. „Doesn't she look beautiful there?"

„She is very beautiful, dad," Nathalie agreed lying her head on the father's shoulder looking at the screen seeing a different actress with a similar body and facial structures as Lila strutt towards the camera and an Italian name appear under the woman's name.

„That woman there plays the younger version of your mom," Nathaniel pointed out earning a nod from the daughter watching the camera switch back to a male younger, character who also had his actor name announced on-screen through the introduction of the show.

At the mansion of the Agreste's, Adrien Agreste along with his wife Kagami and their common son had made the first steps of their life under the same home they were in since their first part of the education.

Adrien's ten-year-old sister sat in his old bedroom watching TV along with her five-year-old nephew Elliot. The boy Elliot sat interested looking at the movie to see a male character with fire powers throwing it on a trunk to make fire, so a group of kids got reunited around it to heat their hands.

„Rocky the fire guy is so cool," Elliot commented earning a nod from the older niece.

„What about Ally the water girl?" Questioned Hope. „She's also cool,"

„Nah I prefer Rocky," Elliot defended making Hope chuckle, then see an anthropomorphic rabbit push out from the ground two walls to form a tent-like shelter.

At the entrance of the room entered Kagami wearing a white tank top and red shorts as her sleeping outfit, then she made her way towards the couch, where the two blonde Agreste's sat and she placed her hands over on Elliot's shoulder.

„Elliot, it's bedtime," Kagami announced leaning her cheek on Elliot's face making him sad. „Do I really have to go now to bed?" Elliot questioned looking up at Kagami, which nodded.

„It's almost 10 am sweetie and you know tomorrow is your first school day and no one wants to have a tired boy during the class?" Kagami stated tapping the boy on the nose.

„Can I wait until the break?" Elliot questioned watching Kagami look at her watch and at that moment the movie got into a commercial making Hope groan disappointed.

„Not again," Hope complained making Kagami chuckle.

„Look you two, what about tomorrow we all watch that movie you were looking at? You two, me and Adrien?" Suggested Kagami earning a nod from the two blondes.

„Where's Adrien?" Hope asked watching Kagami open the TV guide to check the movie title. „I haven't seen him since dinner,"

„Your brother is studying for the big exam. You know after the last two times he failed he isn't really easy to convince to stop or take a break,"

„Dad is studying too much, mom," Elliot mentioned earning a nod from the mother, which helped her son down from the couch.

„Learning about medicine isn't for everyone. Even if Daddy is giving his best," Kagami mentioned earning a nod from Elliot.

„Will school tomorrow be hard for me?" Elliot asked making Kagami shake her head.

„No, it's very easy if you pay attention and if there is something you don't understand you can always ask your teacher at the school or us," Kagami said watching Elliot grab her hand, then Kagami walked out with her son into the corridor to reach the last room, where she got into and was in the bedroom, which got altered after Hope got older and Elliot was born into the Agreste heir. His bedroom contained a bed with a night table beside him and on the left side he had a bookshelf with only a few books on it and the others remained empty for now. On the wall he had four different watches both analog and digital, each of the clocks was adjusted to the European time zone and the Japanese time zone, which had about a difference of 8 hours. Kagami watched Elliot open up the bed for himself and got into it, then grabbed from under his pillow a red panda plush making Kagami smile remembering they had got the animal from their trip to Japan two years ago. Elliot used to sleep with the plush every night after they bought it for him.

Kagami adjusted the covers of the boy and looked at the boy, which smiled at the woman afterward Kagami pecked the boy on the cheek wishing him a good night.

„Good night, my little boy,"

„Good night mom," Elliot wished watching the mother caress the boy on the forehead gently before he closed his eyes, then the woman got up and left the door half-open and walked across the corridor into the bedroom, which now was used by Adrien and Kagami to sleep. Kagami encountered Adrien sitting in front of a desk with his arms on the table reading a book about diseases. Adrien was notably close to falling asleep, then Kagami walked toward the man, which was focused on the book, then Kagami placed her hand on Adrien's shoulder shrieking him along with herself, then Adrien sighed in relief to see it was just his wife.

„Oh it's you Kagami," Adrien mentioned watching Kagami pick up the water glass on the table handing it out to Adrien, which took it to drink,

„I just brought Elliot to bed," Kagami mentioned earning a nod from Adrien, which yawned. „And you better go to bed too, get a good night of sleep, then you wake up, have a walk or a jog, take a shower, have a good breakfast and you continue your work. Give your brain a little more oxygen before you spend another day inside the house. Elliot sort of is right, we barely saw you today,"

„I'm sorry," Adrien apologized getting up walking into the bathroom to wash his face. „I have been focusing a little too much lately on the studies,"

„Half of the summer vacation," Kagami added earning a nod from Adrien, which grabbed a towel to clean his face. „Tomorrow depending on if he receives homework or not I suggested Elliot and Hope to watch the movie they didn't finish watching tomorrow. If you're okay with it, join us watching the movie. So you'll be spending a bit of time together with your son and at the same time you can give your head a break,"

„Sounds like a good idea. What's the movie about?" Adrien asked leaving the bathroom, then removed his t-shirt while Kagami closed the door behind them.

„I don't know, but the main characters seem to be some sort of superheroes with elemental powers," Kagami responded. „I think you may like it as well,"

„Okay, okay. We'll see it then," Adrien spoke getting rid of his trousers as Kagami got into the bed, followed by the blonde, which covered himself with the bed cover and looked around at Kagami, which yawned making Adrien smile and lean his forehead on his wife's, then kissed her on the nose. „Good night,"

„Good night Adrien," Wished Kagami closing her eyes along with Adrien, so they would soon fall asleep.

Luka Couffaine stood in the kitchen of their 3-room apartment putting inside a sandwich grill a piece of toast on each black surface, afterward he added on the front row a slice of cheese and on the top of it, he added ham onto it. Luka closed the grill tight so it would grill the sandwich, so he took the time the device was cooking to store the ingredients back and he took out a pack of orange juice, then filled it into two cups, then brought them to the table. Luka walked out of the kitchen towards the corridor of the apartment to spot his son Rouven Couffaine get out of the bedroom while yawning making Luka smirk.

„Morning champ," Luka greeted the boy, which made his way toward the kitchen. „Did you sleep well?"

„Yes" Rouven responded. „Is mom gone to work?"

„Yes she is, but she told me to give you kisses and wish you a good first school day," Luka mentioned. „And you don't need to worry about it, you will see Elliot and Cody there. At least you will already know two people,"

„Cool," Rouven responded sitting down, then Luka went back to the kitchen to check, if the paninis were done and saw the grill had the green light turned on, then Luka opened it to remove the paninis into a plate and placed it in the middle of the table, so Rouven could take one, while Luka took the other.

„Mmh I love this smell," Rouven commented as he took a bite from his sandwich. „Delicious,"

„What do you think will you learn today at the school?" Luka asked. „Any idea?"

„Math?" Rouven answered.

„What else?"

„Gym. Mom said I needed to pack my gym stuff," Rouven mentioned. „She forgot to help me,"

„Okay, I will help you later with it. You don't know, where mom left your notes for school per coincidence, right?"

„I don't know,"

„Alright, let me just finish my toast and I will see, what you need," Explained the father earning a nod from the boy, then Luka heard his smartphone on the counter begin to play a rock solo, followed by Rouven use his hands to pretend to play a bass, making Luka chuckle, then Luka picked up the smartphone to see his wife's name highlighted over the number.

„Hello Marinette," Luka greeted. „Rouven is already having breakfast,"

„Great, look I forgot to pack Rouven's gym clothing. Can you do that for him?"

„Sure I was about to do that after Rouven mentioned it. Was there anything more on the list except for that and the writing utensils?"

„Uhm the water and the snack box I left it inside the fridge, the writing utensils he's got it inside his satchel, books and booklets he'll receive at the school as they require a certain type of it and that's all so far....oh and the school cone. I have hidden it in the back seat of your car,"

„Okay, I will prepare everything for Rouven. See you later,"

„Bye, I love you,"

„I love you too, Marinette," Luka finished the call, then walked toward the corridor to get to the room of his son to organize the needed school material.

On Monday morning around the 9, Ivan Bruel was reaching along with his son to the elementary school.

„We're here," Ivan said looking down at the raven-haired boy. „As I see Rouven or Elliot didn't arrive yet,"

„Yes," The boy said, then watched along with the father a black sports car stop, where a man with a mustache sat and from the back seat left a brunette woman together with a blonde girl which carried her backpack, then both made their way to the schoolhouse.

„We seem a little early or everyone else is already here. What do you think of going in to see your classroom?" Ivan asked earning a nod from the boy, then the man accompanied the son to the entrance of the schoolhouse to spot a few more children along with adults surprising Ivan at the number of parents that were present to attend their children's first day of school.

„Wow, there are really many parents present. Have you seen it, Cody?" The strong man asked earning a nod from the brown-eyed boy.

„Yes," Cody responded, then noticed in front of a classroom his father's old classmate Nathaniel Kurtzberg stay looking onto a sheet, while next to him stood Nathalie Kurtzberg holding her school cone tight in her arms.

„Nathaniel, hey!" Ivan called walking along with Cody to the redhead, which smiled and held his hand out to have Ivan slap his hand on the friend. „You're going to the class of Miss.....uh.....Donner. Evangeline Donner,"

„It is Donner like give in French, not Donner like thunder in German?" Nathaniel asked showing his daughter's schedule to the tall man.

„Probably the French version," Ivan mentioned. „Can we go in already?"

„I think so. I just got here," Nathaniel responded entering into the classroom to find a few students present with their parents in the classroom, then Nathaniel widened his eyes as he recognized a few of the parental figures inside the room. „Wow, I know some of those faces look that's Leeton Sakamoto. He plays in the Parisian soccer team," Nathaniel said advising Ivan to look at the second row, where a middle-sized man stood beside the desk looking at his own son, which was showing the adult something.

„Yeah and there's River Langerak the journalist Alya works with," Ivan pointed out watching the woman take a selfie with the raven-haired daughter making Ivan smile at the deed the woman was doing.

„Uh hum," Agreed Nathaniel, then both walked their kids into the class and Nathalie sat down in the third row along with Cody.

„Do you think Elliot and Rouven will be in our class?" Nathalie asked the boy, which shrugged his shoulders.

„I don't know," Cody responded placing his school cone on the table, afterward Nathalie did the same and both leaned their backs against the wall watching a brunette woman enter along with a blonde girl into the class greeting accompanying her to the first row on the left side.

„That girl I saw before as I got here," Cody mentioned. „I think her grandpa is rich. He drives a very fast car,"

„Cool," Nathalie answered, then watched a man dressed in a police suit accompany his raven-haired son, which waved along with the dad at the present citizens, afterward a Rose Lavillant entered into the class making Nathalie smile as she recognized one of her mother's best friend enter along with a white-skinned girl with light blonde hair, making Nathalie curious.

„Whos' that girl?" Nathalie asked making Cody shrug his shoulders. Rose smiled as she recognized Nathaniel and Ivan, then meet up with the guys by embracing both with excitement.

„Oh boys I haven't seen you for so long," Rose began. „How are Lila and Myléne doing?" Questioned the blonde.

„Fine," Both men answered.

„Lila is coming today from Italy from her acting time. Have you per coincidence see the show yet?" Questioned the redhead earning a nod from the petite woman.

„Yes, I've been liking it so far. Juleka mostly," Rose responded. „Oh and I have only told Kagami about it, but I and Juleka finally made it to adopt our first child. Let me introduce you to Eireen. She's originally from Danish descendants, but her parents lost their lives in a......shipwreck,"

„Oh," Both men replied sad, then Rose patted the girl's head making her smile a little.

„She has already been for a month in our house to get to know us better. So far I think she's liking to be with us,"

„If she's interested, she can befriend Nathalie," Nathaniel mentioned. „Nathalie is my daughter. She's sitting right behind you," Explained the redhead watching the blonde girl look back at the brunette girl, which smiled a little shyly at the adopted girl.

„Hi nice to meet you," Eireen said, then Cody got up and showed Eireen the place.

„Hey you can sit with her if you want," Cody offered making Eireen shrug her shoulders.

„You don't have to go for me," Eireen mentioned making Cody shake his head.

„No, it's okay. I'll be sitting somewhere else," Cody explained making Eireen nod and sit down on the chair, followed by Cody picking up the school cone.

„Oh, I forgot your cone. Will you wait here? I will go immediately to the car to get it," Rose said making Eireen nod, then Rose ran out. Nathaniel took out his smartphone to check the time and saw a message from his wife Lila Kurtzberg.

„Are you at the school now?"

Nathaniel went down on his knees, then held his camera to Nathalie making Nathalie jokingly stick out her tongue, followed by Nathaniel making a dorky face so he could take a picture of the two.

„Shall I send it to mom?" Nathaniel asked the girl for permission which nodded, then the father got up to send the image to the mother of the girl.

„Hey Ivan, hey Nathaniel," A voice said, then Nathaniel looked aside to see Luka Couffaine come along with his son followed by Kagami with her boy Elliot.

„Hey Luka," Nathaniel greeted.

„Hey Luka, hey Kagami," Ivan greeted. „Where's Adrien?"

„He stood back to study," Kagami responded. „You know this Friday he's got the exam and hopefully he will pass it this time,"

„Oh right. I really hope he can make it this time," Mentioned the raven-haired man. „It's harsh when all your friends pass but you,"

„Yeah it really is," Kagami said, then she heard someone call her name and she looked across the classroom to see Adrien's old university friend Jin pass by together with his son. „Hey Jin, great to see you,"

„Same Kagami or should I say.....Mrs. Agreste," Jin joked doing to the woman finger pistols making the son look confused at his father's comment.

„Is that a friend of dad?" Elliot asked looking up at the mother making her nod,

„Yeah. He was with your dad in the same class about five years ago," Kagami mentioned. „Dad would probably love to see him again,"

„Let's tell Dad, " Elliot asked watching Kagami place her hand on the boy's shoulder.

„Maybe we can ask Jin to visit us after school," Kagami mentioned then Nathaniel came between the two Agreste's.

„Are you three actually coming tonight to the surprise party?" Nathaniel asked making Kagami wide her eyes and facepalm.

„Kuso, I forgot about it. I promised you to come and I also promised Elliot and Adrien to watch the movie they missed yesterday,"

„On TV?" Nathaniel questioned.

„Yeah, but we can still watch it on replay before 72 hours pass," Kagami mentioned. „I should have written all my promises down on an agenda. I've been so busy lately that I forgot it,"

„It's okay. Can happen," Luka mentioned patting Kagami on the shoulder.

The school bell rang and before the teacher entered a blonde woman entered along with a blonde boy making Luka chuckle along with Ivan, making Kagami and Nathaniel furrow their eyebrows in confusion, then Nathaniel looked at Luka questioningly.

„Hey, you're married," Nathaniel spoke, then Luka hit the friend on the shoulder.

„I know. I'm just laughing cause that's the woman who vaccinated Rouven last time at the doctor," Luka explained, then watched the class teacher enter into the classroom with a suitcase on wheels, then she gazed in surprise as she saw the full class along with their parents.

„Wow, I'm impressed," The teacher commented placing her suitcase beneath her desk. „This is the first time after ten years, where I have so many parents present on their kids' first school day,"

„It's actually a pretty good thing," Jin shouted making a few adults snicker.

„It really is. And you're the father of who?" The teacher asked.

„I'm Jin Norgay, father of Zheng Norgay," The man introduced himself approaching the son, which sat on the table next to a blonde boy.

„Alright so, as this is our very first day of school. We will be spending the first hour getting to know each other. First I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Mrs. Donner. I'm 33 years old and I was born in Bretagne. In my free time, when I'm not working I like to read and play cards with my family," The teacher introduced, then picked up a ball of yarn from her table and held it on the beginning of the threat and threw it at the first student on the first row, which was a raven-haired boy. „So you're the first one to introduce yourself to the class. You don't need to tell a lot. Your name, nationality and maybe what your parents work is a good start," Mrs. Donner suggested earning a nod from the boy.

„Hello everyone. My name is Duarte. Actually, I have two names. I'm called Duarte André. But you all can call me Duarte. Both my parents are police officers, which met at the work. I come from Portugal, but was born here in France," The boy said earning a nod from the teacher.

„And now pass the ball to the person you want and hold the thread," The teacher asked watching the girl threw the ball back at a raven-haired girl, which smiled at the boy.

„My name is Ruby Langerak. Uh.....I'm from many countries somehow....My mother is from Ireland and England. My father from Sweden and Portugal. I'm sort of from all those four countries," Ruby explained making a few students chuckle.

„Wow, that's interesting. Which languages do you speak at the home?"

„English and French for now," Ruby responded. „My mom said maybe later I could learn Swedish as it is similar to English and furthermore if I want to Portuguese,"

„I can teach you," Duarte suggested earning a nod from the raven-haired girl.

„Aww that's sweet," The teacher commented.

„And my mother is a journalist and my father works in a theatre building the stage and other important things," Ruby explained throwing the ball at Cody, which sat behind her.

„Hello my name is Kodiak, but everyone calls me Cody. I'm from France and my mother works as an actress at the theatre and my father works in the kitchen for a house, where only seniors live,"

„A retirement home?" Asked the teacher making Cody shrug his arms.

„Yes Mrs. Donner," Ivan responded making the teacher smile and Cody passed the ball to Elliot, which frowned at Cody's lazy decision.

„My name is Elliot Agreste. My father is French and my mother is Japanese. My mom works in a bureau at the animal rescue center from my father's family and my dad is at home learning for a big exam, so when he passes he can become a doctor,"

„Ah wow, that's a great idol you got there," The teacher complimented making Elliot smile and look up at Kagami, which gave the boy a thumb up. Elliot threw his ball at Nathalie, but it landed in front of Eireen, then she looked at Elliot, which shrugged his shoulders but smiled at the adopted girl to let her take the ball of yarn.

„Hello everyone. My name is Eireen, I'm from Denmark. My parents died a few years ago in a ship like in the movie with the iceberg and I was in an orphanage with other kids and got adopted this year by my mother. This year is a little special to me, cause I have for the first time in my life new people that like me and also I have now two mothers instead," Eireen said, then a few adults looked at each other bewildered at Eireen's situation.

„Did you hear that, she has two mothers" A voice said making Rose swallow at hearing that comment, then Luka noticed it and placed his hand on Rose's shoulder to comfort her.

„That's still amazing Eireen. At least you found two people that are there to help you out and take care of you. That's what matters the most, right Mrs. Donner," Luka stated earning a nod from the teacher.

„Yes you're right Mr.....,"

„Couffaine, Luka Couffaine"

„Yes thank you, Mr. Couffaine "

„Don't worry. You'll know my name in a few years," Luka said jokingly making the teacher chuckle and watch Eireen slide her ball to Nathalie.

„I'm Nathalie Kurtzberg. My dad is from Germany and works in a comic book store. My mother is from Italy and works on a TV show as an actress,"

„Oh is it from the show Isabella – The rebirth?" Questioned the teacher watching Nathalie look up at Nathaniel which nodded.

„I've seen a few episodes. I think I know who your mother is," Mrs. Donner stated watching Nathalie throw her ball across the room at the hands of a blonde girl.

„The name is Debby, short for Deborah. I'm from Spain and Scotland. My mom works as a vet assistant and my father works in a recording studio for music," The girl introduced herself earning a nod from the teacher, then she threw the ball across the room to another boy, which introduced himself to the class too, followed by others students until everyone's turn had passed.

[danvillecheese]

ok. I watched act your age again and i just need to get some stuff out. yeah. I agree with dan: it’s a sweet episode. it’s got a sort of nice vibe to it. but it just doesn’t feel realistic to me. it’s two specific things that I don’t like and they’re

matchmaker friends

the fact it took them til they were 18 to get together

I’m gonna start with the matchmaker friends thing. I get that it’s showing what these characters look like in the future (and that the ex-fireside girls are somehow important) but it’s a disgusting trope that I don’t think belongs on phineas and ferb. I genuinely don’t like it because they’re really showing how forced the episode is.

also, slight tangent, this also makes the other pairings seem forced as well, like baljeet/ginger and ferb/vanessa. yeah they’re het couples and both childhood crushes but that’s also not realistic at all to be quite honest. isabella is shown as a girl who’s super busy all the time (more than likely to take her mind off phineas bc she’s trying to get over him) and doesn’t interact with her friend group like she used to. now, I know that sticking with a friend group for more than 5 years is kinda unrealistic as well, but this one was pretty tight-knit so it’s probably pretty realistic for them. phineas is shown as a very average teenager who can’t decide what uni he wants to go to, as he’s been accepted to tons due to his incredible mind. this barely reflects his real self, because his personality is incredibly lacklustre and he seems apathetic toward pretty much everything. as a kid he was energetic and full of ideas, which is why his character seems so fake. it’s as if someone who watched one episode wrote this episode and was like “hey why don’t we just have him feeling depressed bc he hasn’t heard from his girly friend in ages but also can’t decide what school to go to but then he decides to go where his girly friend goes because they kissed and it’s all romantic” (that’s it by the way. that’s the whole goddamn plot). so in a nutshell, isa is shown as this busy teen who doesn’t hang out with the friend group anymore, and phin is shown as someone who’s sad bc he doesn’t realise his crush likes him back. so the fireside girls say “hey. isa’s leaving for university. why don’t we fulfill her childhood dream by trying to get her together with her crush. oh. and we’ll ask His friend group so that it’s both sides of the relationship. boys vs girls if you will” and yeah. thats their motherfucking plan (this is why I like fanfic so much more).

it’s forced. it doesn’t flow like the rest of the show, because the whole ship (thanks to the matchmakers) is being made to happen no matter what. where are the clips of isabella crying? goddamn, summer belongs to you was more emotional than this. isabella has grieved for the last few years of her life because she’s been running after a boy that (she thinks) doesn’t like her back. what about the clips of phineas falling for her? 11th grade, he’s sitting in homeroom and sees her across the room. sitting atop a desk with one leg folded over the other, laughing with the fireside girls. he loves the way she smiles when she laughs. he wonders if he can ever do anything to make her do that. but she’s clearly not interested in him. it makes him feel that weird sensation he’s felt for a while. it’s in his chest. it feels like a pit. it happens every time he realises she probably doesn’t like him back. what was the word he used? friendzone? yeah, thats it.

the lack of emotions in this whole episode makes it feel rushed and squished into a 22 minute segment. even another 10 minutes could have done the trick. put some more montages in. get rid of that ugly fireside matchmaking subplot and put some phin and isa being bro’s in. they could be the ultimate brotp. but everyone skips over their friendship because of isabella’s romantic feelings towards phineas. this episode completely tears apart their friendship development near the end of season 4. for crying out loud, phineas was running around the living room of their house in pharmacists because he was so scared she was gonna get hurt. he risked his own life to save hers and she did the same. but the writers for aya didn’t even acknowledge it. there’s only room for fake matchmaking friends in these halls.oh, did you order a big bucket of emotion? sorry, this is disney channel. you’re not gonna get it, I’m afraid.

alright, here’s something that really busts my gut. it is the most unrealistic thing that it took them til COLLEGE to get together. for christ’s sake, they were best friends at the age of 10 or 11! surely it would have only taken them a few more years to do something, at the very most 5 or 6 years. hardly 8! that’s too long for best friends who like each other to not get together, or at least kiss platonically and keep doing it until it gets legit! it doesn’t state that either phineas or isabella had any other relationships before their own buuuuut I do like my personal headcanon that baljeet and phineas dated at some point. and that maybe isa went out with like… idk. some other boys from their class at some point.

that pretty much concludes that. long story short, I don’t like the unrealistic vibe of this episode and even though it’s sweet it isn’t realistic for this pairing and doesn’t really deserve to be such a celebrated episode.

[locktobre]

001 BARBIE!! for the ask please

Thank you, Erika! This is so hard, actually, and it got super long so it’s under a cut. Anon also asked for 001 Barbie, but I’m only doing Barbie once, sorry!

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character:

This is REALLY tough to answer bc it changes all the time, honestly... I think, strictly in terms of canon and not any headcanons I’ve tacked on, it’s Elina. She goes thru so much and I love her journey as an accidental/reluctant hero. If I include headcanons, then it’s Chelsea. (I’ve got big plans for her.)

Least Favorite character:

TIKA. I don’t care that she’s a baby! She sucks!

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):

This is also something that changes a lot but as of right now (aka the ones I’ve thought about recently):

1. Barbie/Ken (duh)2. Isabella/Reginald3. Elina/Dandelion4. Tammy/Trey5. Delancy/Nora

But honestly, basically whatever ship I’m hyperfocusing on at the moment is my favorite ship so this list could be wrong by tomorrow.

Character I find most attractive:

Ok not to be embarrassing but watching the new season of BDA:GTR I found myself thinking ‘wow, Margaret is a milf’ so I mean. Her. (I hate her normal outfit, I think it’s ugly, so I think that’s why this only just hit me. I loved her pink space jammies tho!)

Character I would marry:

I think the only age-appropriate characters for me are like. The parents of any characters. So I think if I had to pick any of them (and not Margaret bc I’m not a homewrecker), I guess Mr. Pennington? He seems to really care about his daughter, and I already love her too, so... I guess I’m Tara’s stepmom now.

Character I would be best friends with:

Morton Rise is literally SO weird so it would probably be obnoxious actually, but I find him so delightful I’d love to at least try to be his friend. He’d tell me about being a time traveler and ghost hunter, I’d tell him about my psychic powers, we’d have a great ol’ time.

A random thought:

I’ve wondered since yesterday if Barbie and Ken will finally get together in Princess Adventure, bc that would be a Big thing that might suit a movie better than a show episode. But I’m also trying to not get my hopes up for that.

An unpopular opinion:

It really depends on who you talk to lmao. But I guess one generally unpopular one is that I don’t ship some popular femslash but like, whatever, die mad about it. I have my reasons and I also literally don’t care what anyone else thinks. I’m here to do my own thing and I always have been.

My Canon OTP:

Barbie/Ken, obviously. He went to the other side of the world to be with her, and she went into a magical world to rescue him!  And now in BDA, they’ve got such a great friendship and they really care so much about each other. I wish they’d articulate their damn feelings already but they’re SO meant to be.

My Non-canon OTP:

Merliah/Kylie. They’re a classic rivals to girlfriends pair, and they don’t even have any boys in their movie! Okay, Break is there. But he’s Merliah’s grandpa and obviously not a love interest. Unlike, say, Ian and Jeremy. So I stand by my position that merlylie is way more canon than alexiana.

Most Badass Character:

This is a hard one, bc when I think ‘badass’ I usually think of fighting, and there’s not much fighting going on. However, I think it has to be Annika. She’s the only protagonist (I think) who outright tried to kill the villain. I think about that all the time. Honorary mentions to Princess Alexa (her showdown with Malucia), Kara (a literal superhero) and Major Mint (survived the Great Mouse War).

Most Epic Villain:

I think Malucia. She’s terrifyingly competent for a 10-year-old and brought her whole kingdom to its knees in, what, a week? Laverna take notes.

Pairing I am not a fan of: 

Elina/Nori is the one I’m thinking about lately but there are several I don’t care for.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):

Kristyn Farraday. Her entire arc in the movie is bullshit. I’ve said it before but I will say again, the movie should have either had her deciding that she would rather be a choreographer than a dancer (as her skillset seems to be more making up dances than actually dancing them), OR her realizing that Madame Natasha was right, and she needs to actually follow the steps to be a good dancer. Tara Pennington was also handled very badly, but I think that just follows with Kristyn’s bad writing (the movie goes way out of its way to make Kristyn seem like she’s in the right at all times). Pink Shoes is actually filled with wonderful characters... and we just happen to see them all on the worst entire day of their lives so it seems like they all suck.

Favourite Friendship:

There’s so many I could say but I’m gonna pull one out of left field: Makena and Thumbelina. I love the way Makena comes to realize what’s really important, and how hard she fights to save the Twillerbees at the end. And I like how Thumbelina is just like, cheerful and nice, but also won’t really take any crap. They’re wonderful friends and I wish ppl talked about the movie at all so I could see more ppl appreciate them.

Character I most identify with:

Tori, definitely. Admittedly, this is bc of headcanons (like that she’s acting out bc her mom died and her dad is dating again), but I take it exceptionally personally when ppl criticize Popstar or hate on Tori. (I mean, I do that with all Barbie movies and characters, but especially Tori, since she gets so much unfair hate.)

Character I wish I could be:

See, I’m generally not someone who ever wishes I could be in any fictional universe. And pretty much all the characters are put in dangerous situations at one point or another, so I mean, I’m not about that. Maybe Christie Clauson? I love Christmas, so it seems like it would be fun to be a mysterious innkeeper with a weird uncle who may or may not be Santa.

(supergirl) sanvers sorry bout it. was a huge fan of kara and james and then. well. that didn’t work out

(tgp) oof. i don’t know. the series finale was really beautiful but i think the one i always think of the most is the season 3 finale

what is your favorite episode of 5?

(sex ed) i really liked season 2 ep 7, when all the girls bonded with amy in detention. i feel like that storyline was really well handled, and it was really beautiful to watch

what is your favorite season of 2?

(supergirl) season 1 season 1 season 1. it was all downhill from there

how long have you watched 1?

(tgp) since it first started airing i guess

how did you become interested in 3?

(sense8) i kept hearing about it on here so then i started watching it and i loved it

who is your favorite actor in 4?

(odaat) i’d say it’s a tie between isabella gomez and justina machado. and rita moreno too tbh you can never go wrong with rita

which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5?

(tgp vs. supergirl vs. sex ed) the good place hands down, but i suppose season 1 of supergirl would put up a good fight

which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?

(tgp vs. sense8) i think the good place had more episodes. i’m too lazy to look it up and confirm tho

if you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

(odaat) lmaooo oh man. honestly probably alex. he’s got the cool hair and athletic abilities lol

would a crossover between 3 and 4 work?

(sense8 vs. odaat) lmao for sure. i could totally see the odaat writers making a reference to sense8, but i also think it would be really interesting if maybe an alvarez became a sensate? and then they got to meet other sensates? idk i think it’d be super cool. and i bet elena would hardcore fangirl over nomi and amanita

pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple?

(tgp) oh man. i have no idea. maybe eleanor and jason since they already have the brotp going on? or idk. vicky and tahani maybe?

overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5?

(sense8 vs. sex ed) sense8′s was definitely a lot more interesting in terms of plot, although i really enjoyed the whole sex clinic thing with otis and maeve

which has the better theme music, 2 or 4?

(supergirl vs. odaat) oh fuck. on the one hand odaat’s theme song is fuckin boppin but i genuinely love supergirl’s score. i’m gonna cop out and say you can’t compare the two so that i don’t have to officially answer

[noddytheornithopod]

So Joshua Pruett tweeted this earlier, and I want to focus on what I highlighted here. He mentions characters from both Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy’s Law will be in “revealing pairings”. I don’t think we should read this too literally, so instead of one on one pairs I think he means major character interactions and the dynamics that will come from that. Here I’m going to list PnF characters and who I expect to see major dynamics with.

Phineas and Ferb: Definitely Milo. The teaser already implies Milo’s relationship with these two is going to be a big part of the crossover special, but even without it I would’ve expected it. They’re the titular characters of their respective shows, and Phineas and Milo both share that infectious positivity and optimism. Heck, it could even compare and contrast their respective optimisms. Also yeah I know people really want to see Phineas meet Bradley, but given how much story there is I don’t know if time will allow it.

Candace: I definitely expect many people will want to see her interact with Sara since they’re both big sisters, but there’s no leads so far suggesting Candace might even get a chance to interact with her even if it could be interesting (though to be fair I can’t really imagine a better character for Sara to interact with). On the other hand, I’m really curious to see how Candace is going to react to Milo. Like on one hand, stuff goes wrong wherever Milo goes, causing problems for others and himself, and Candace might not like that and even wonder if Murphy’s Law is why she keeps on failing to bust her brothers. Yet on the other hand, Candace knows what it’s like to live with bad luck and things constantly going wrong in her life, and might actually relate to and empathise with Milo in that regard (and Milo is closer to her age so that might also help). That would also be interesting because Milo isn’t that unlike Phineas in terms of personality, and Candace seeing these two together maybe might get her thinking about her. I guess we could also see her interact with Zack and Melissa too and what that would entail, and the teaser does confirm they will meet.

Doofenshmirtz: Definitely Cavendish and Dakota. I mean, Fungus Among Us already set this up since Doofenshmirtz is heavily implied to be Professor Time, and Cavendish and Dakota are going to come face to face with someone they look up to and possibly be disappointed by him. I imagine Cavendish might even doubt whether Doof is Time, though Doof and Cavendish interacting would be cool because they’re both failures who want something more in their lives. Doof and Dakota of course provides voice actor jokes, and both have their goofy personalities. I wonder what Milo interacting with Doofenshmirtz will be like too, given they both always have things going wrong in their lives. Also I’m sure he’ll talk to Orton at some point, which I’m mentioning because I don’t know anyone who would create the best dynamic with him but they will meet so yeah.

Perry: Obviously the main interaction being hinted at is with Diogee. They’re both super cool pets, enough said. I wonder what his interactions with Milo will be like though, especially if he may have to leave him and Diogee to avoid blowing his cover to Phineas and Ferb.

Buford and Baljeet: I put these two together because I anticipate this duo will come face to face with another: Zack and Melissa. The teaser suggests they will definitely meet, but I expect these four to have some kind of dynamic because they’re both duos with interesting relationships and lots of humorous banter who are also best friends with the titular characters in their respective shows. I’m kinda interested to see how Baljeet and Melissa will react to each other too, given they’re both nerds who are big on grades and success and yet have very different attitudes. also I lowkey ship them Because of this you’d think Baljeet and Amanda would get to interact, but like Phineas and Bradley I don’t know if there’s enough room for the story to allow it.

Monogram: I expect he’s going to at least see Cavendish at some point, because voice actor jokes. Maybe he’ll also see Dakota at some point too and goof off there. Also probably expecting him to see Diogee at some point, either to mistake him for an agent or try to recruit him (and Diogee will likely die as Josh said not even care lol).

Isabella: This one is by far the hardest to crack. I mean, we know she’s showing up somewhere, but she eludes us in both the Act 1 script Vincent Martella posted and the teaser (I’m sure we’ll eventually see her as more footage comes out, but yeah). I’m also not entirely sure who she’d be best paired with (which would help a tonne in figuring out why she’s not with the gang in the teaser), though maybe Amanda would work, assuming Amanda shows up? Like, they’re characters both having some kind of romantic storyline with an optimistic and positive protagonist but there’s major flaws in their respective dynamics that prevents them from getting closer than just friend. Also Isabella is kind of an overachiever as implied by her need to get every Fireside Girl patch, which could connect to Amanda’s overly organised and achieving lifestyle? Maybe this is it, though one also wonders how Isabella would react to Bradley (if he appears) for the meta humour of it, like Bradley seems to have literally been conceived as an anti-Phineas despite Vincent voicing both of them, and I mean Isabella is quite upbeat and cheerful as opposed to Bradley being all moody too so would probably get on her nerves.

Okay I think I covered all of the major characters, I’m sure some will insist I included this or that but you have to remember this crossover has a lot to do, and they will only be able to fit in so much. Still, curious to see how on the mark I am.

[empressarcana]

me: is interested in knowing what a luke/bella romance route woulda been like but also loves ashbella and also secretly holds out for bella/becca :' ) i know bella probably is one of the least likely people to get with luke (even concerning ashton, bella is motivated by work and her family) but that's also why i feel like it'd be interesting. plus luke has the misconception that she's meek when she really Isn't. I feel like they'd really challenge each other. whoops how do think it'd go?

Well hello there Anon. ;)(SPOILER WARNING, just in case, also I tag spoilers too but yeah)

My OTP might be AshBella but I have definitely considered many and I do mean many pairing combinations for the characters in The Letter. Rare ships including and not limited to:

Seriously, that line had me shipping them in a “if things were different” sort of way. That and playing The Diary, reaching entry #4 I believe, also had me shipping AshLuke low-key.

Honestly, any ship with Luke will be interesting, yes including with Isabella. It’s a blessing for Luke knowing that all the lovely ladies in The Letter are feisty af. Luke would have been really impressed seeing Isabella handle that rolling pin and taser, hohoho. I just really see Luke getting all sorts of ahem, excited, over the person he’s interested in trying him in any way. He enjoys a challenge. ;)

And oooh, I have always loved the idea of BellaBecca. D: I mean omg come on this CG here.

There is so much potential there, considering that Becca is the one that Isabella relies on most, seeing that they live right next to each other. Becca can nag her all she wants but it’s all because she genuinely cares for Isabella. I can definitely see these lovelies work out if Rebecca is over Ashton, otherwise, we know Rebecca will only think of well, Ashton. These two would be super adorable and have the cutest of slumber parties.

I can just imagine Isabella initiating a pillow fight and Becca be all like, Belle this is absolutely childish, wait, what are you— Isabella then smacks Becca with a pillow across her face. All goes to hell from there, Rebecca is fuming and all flushed. She would pick up a pillow while Isabella is shaking like a leaf because she knows what’s coming. WARNING: DO NOT ANGER THE SCOTS WOMAN.

Rebecca would look at the pillow and be like, well, this isn’t my usual sturdy book, but it will do. Isabella is like MEEP, and Rebecca throws a pillow at her, knocking her over. 

Bonus: Rebecca makes her way up to Isabella, smirking, pulling her up from the floor, telling Isabella that she should know better than to cross her. Isabella easily pouts at the situation and Becca kisses the pout away. ♥ Whoops, where did this even come from? ♥

[kitwilsonsass]

anyway at some point i should probably ramble about my trip to boston?? so i’m gonna go ahead and do that??

like right off the bat let me just say the worst [art was actually GETTING to mass. my train was supposed to leave at 9:55am, and around 7:50 i got a text saying it was delayed until 1:03pm. we arrived around noon, and gradually my anxiety about going on the trip turned into anxiety of NOT getting on the trip as the board kept delaying... and delaying... and delaying...

....and then it started pouring out. crazy wind. murmurs the train lost signal and all contact with the station. after i finally got on (at 3:00pm), my aunt texted me that all that? yeah. that was a tornado warning. wat.

i got a pair of seats to myself for most of trip. fought with my wifi. listened to the crazy lady rant about dope ruining america a few rows back. mostly enjoyed the view and basked in the fact that i was not, shockingly, puking my stomach lining out. until we got to utica, and a shit ton of people got on.

my seat buddy then became an almost cute 18 year old dude with dreads and a lower half trash polka sleeve who was more interested in his earbuds than anything so i was fine with this. until we were about to MA and a few exchanged word and lazy lounging around turned into him doing THING guys think is cute where they lowkey rub your skin with the side of their finger against my thigh. so i ended up sitting up and the next stop he moved his shit to another seat. YEAH BYE.

along the way we kept having to stop bc signal problems and track construction and letting other trains pass. needless to say the train that was supposed to get in at like 8pm got in at at like 2:30am.

it was miserable, and raining. rachel got us an uber and i sat in the back seat next to some chick wh was super pretty and dressed up and here i was, a goblin, smelling like train restoom, in an ill fitting deadpool hoodie and yoga pants.

when we got to her place she made me some ramen (WITH THE RANDOM EGG AND EVERYTHING) that was good but spicy af and my stomach noped out and tbh over a week later my stomach is just now letting me eat properly again. tho i’m blaming this more on the issues with my abdomen acting up prior to leaving than the actual trip (tho, my skin having pores the size of actual craters i am blaming on the trip). i think the one thing we ate that DIDN’T act up in my body was the awful chicken wings we got from Wings Over that were about half fat and ridiculously undercooked. it figures.

ANYWAY. her futon is huge. it’s sad that i have more leg room on a futon than an actual mattress, but whatever. and there was construction going on across the street. fun fact: i came home to construction going on on MY street. so this was inescapable from the jump.

day 1 i got cute as possible and we hopped a bus and a train. my stomach was less forgiving of the motion here, but i lived. i saw Ron, the T-Rex. and we went to the isabella gardner museum where she lied and said i was a student. i was then asked a bunch of questions about being a student, none of which i was prepared for, and i’m pretty sure the only reason they let me in was because my zip code was accurate. that place is massive and pretty gorgeous from head to toe and i can’t fathom ever being that fucking rich.

then we went to get some food at a nifty little bar and restaurant . the name is escaping me rn but i stole a coaster. again, the food did not agree with me, and i could do a review on boston restrooms at this point. but it was great.

NINJA SEX PARTY! the house of blues wasn’t as bad as reviews made it sound, and aside from the mess that was the merch table they we kind of cheated like assholes due to some pretty honest confusion, was a good time. the line was MASSIVE. we got there an hour early and it was already around the corner and hard to miss. by the time we got towards the front of the building, it was around the block. we met a couple younger dudes from maine and a significantly more awkward gentleman more our age to keep us entertained. there were some street musicians. some asshole staff. you know.

all i really have to say about the concert itself was it was probably the best live music show of any kind i’ve ever been to and definitely the most enjoyable environment (huge tall dude who kept, somehow, ending up directly in front of me aside). everyone sounded amazing live, even if we were RIGHT under the speaker stage left and now permanently have bass vibrations embedded in our bones.

day two we hit up the museum of fine arts, which is massive and we didn’t see all of (and i paid full price for, thank you very much) and then grabbed a pizza and those awful wings and intended to chill out with some boy meets world. but the disks wouldn’t play. so we settled on mst3k. and let me tell you, i have not nearly cried from laughter in something as much as ‘cry wilderness’ nearly made me fucking cry.

day three we headed to south station to meet probes and hung out. there were a bunch of food trucks outside that were kinda neat. we didn’t think that girl would ever fucking find us, but she did. everything was OKAY. NO NEED TO PANIC. NO FIVE HOUR DELAYS. jess gives massive hugs, for the record.

we hit up a spot for lunch where they served be like, the biggest plate of pasta and bread i have ever witnessed in my life. i felt wasteful only eating barely half of it. then we found our way to the trains and the aquarium just in time for some sweet penguin education and eventually a lecture on their huge ass fucking tank that takes up the entire center of the room with a 90 year old sea turtle in it and some sharks and string rays. it was pretty cool, yo.  i got a stuffed squid in the gift shop, even tho we did not see any giant squids (0/10 do not recommend) and outside jess gave me a present even though i fucking told everyone no presents (RAChEL ALSO GAVE ME NAIL POLISH AND A WRISTBAND WTF). it was a new day candy bar from fye. and yes, pop rocks n chocolate is surprisingly pleasant.

our PLAN was to go see hitmans bodyguard. but everyone showing it before like 7 was only showing 3d, and we wanted to get her on a bus home by 9. haha what fucking suckers @ us, because the bus didn’t leave until like 10. so we got shitty milkshakes, hit up the comic shop, and wandered around harvard for a bit until it got dark. and then were stuck at south station, wondering if she was going to be stuck in MA forever. reflecting on two quiet nerds and one extrovert being a not great possible combination of three people. but i still had a good time.

day 4 we did, in fact, see hitmans bodyguard and while it was mostly forgettable summer action lulz, i do ship the hell out of samuel l jackson and salma hayek now. so that’s cool. it was a fun time. hit up the park after, and a b&n to get schooled on peak writing stephen king. then we went to starbucks and i HAD STARBUCKS FOR THE FIRST TIME?? it was the double choc ship frap thing. it’s good. i’m mad about it.

we headed back, did laundry, ordered food. i ought her dream daddy, which was a waste of money, but i do take pride in just knowing she’s stuck having technically played a portion of dream daddy now. it’s her own fault for asking about it, it really is. mostly we watched more mst3k, some grumps shit, some random shit, some postmodern jukebox, had a drink. just chilled. and the ‘oh... fuck... haha... i have to go home tomorrow’ feeling hit when i turned off the lights.

i was too bummed the next day for much of anything tbh. i get depressed after anything fun. i get depressed after wwe shows, lmao, so for the trip to already be over when it suddenly seemed like i just got there sucked. plus it only just then really hit me i was in a different part of the country, if that makes sense even if it was only one state over. it was a weird realization as someone who never travels to have.

the train home i wasn’t so lucky to be alone most of it. i ended up in an aisle seat with a college girl. we minded our own business. stuck directly under the AC that was way too cold. a woman and a fucking baby sitting the next row over the second any space cleared out. had a layover in albany where an old guy made me a shot of iced chocolate espresso which he had never been asked to make before, and truthfully, i’d never had before, but it was alright. i actually enjoyed the layover as some weird, space between spaces, time to reflect on my own in an unfamiliar place kind of thing.

we got in around midnight, my aunt picked me up. got home around one.

that was that.

i had a really good time. i’m sure it didn’t seem that way. i’m like that. but i did and i appreciated the opportunity and definitely appreciated rachel for letting me freeload on her futon and showing me around and making me ramen i felt guilty for not finishing.

the city was nice. i’m sure i was only seeing the nicer parts, mind you, but compared to rochester or buffalo it just felt wider, cleaner. idk. i didn’t HATE it, and as someone who hates being in cities for more than a couple hours, it wasn’t bad.

it was a great time away from the world and despite the stress of coming home to everything, and a room without molding on the door (which was, for the record, still locked), i did feel a lot better afterwards. i still do.

So, about your Sterek Galavant AU, please consider: Stiles as Richard, Lydia as Madelena, Jackson as Gareth, Scott as Galavant, Allison as Isabella, Issac as Sid, Derek as Roberta, and Peter as the evil wedding planner (I think his name is Wormwood?) and the rest can be whoever. It would be even more interesting in the beginning with Scott having the girl that Stiles wanted and Stiles stealing her away and the fallout from that.

OMG Peter as the wedding planner :D Imagine that tearful laughing emoji right here, that’s me right now, that’s perfect. I can see Allison as Isabella and maybe Isaac as Sid (honestly I just don’t remember Isaac that much… I should really rewatch some scenes with him just to remember what he’s like). And Scott and Lydia having been a thing does tie in with that one s1 scene with Lydia making out with him because he was popular.

But, while none of the characters are going to quite fit the roles, I feel like we’d have to change a lot to make King “oh poop, I got gravy on my tummy flowers” Richard into Stiles ;P

Also I just don’t super love Roberta? Which makes it hard to set that pair as my favorite ship. (I mean… most of the time she was fine, but the whole “I can’t bear to watch you die so I’m just gonna leave instead of fighting beside you so you’ll have a better chance at living. I guess it’s cool if you die as long as I’m not looking” thing is something I’ll just never forgive her for.)

Chiyo & Fina [Prologue]

Chiyo is sitting at a chair next to the table with the two potted plants with the map on top. She seems fascinated with the plant. The leaves are stiff and the stem is kind of wooden. She runs her finger along the plant before flinching suddenly. "O, ow.." It looks like she got a splinter.

Fina was studying the map within the room hoping to see if she can figure out if it was following some course, sadly she didn't know much about this so she couldn't really get any info on it. She was about to give up and walk away when she heard someone say 'ow'. She turned her head to the source of the voice and saw the girl sitting there was staring at her finger.

"Are you ok miss? Did you hurt yourself?"

“Ah! It’s alright, I think..” Chiyo was startled at the girl’s attention. “I think I got a splinter, or s, something.” It hurts, and she wonders how much longer it’ll hurt.

"Are you sure miss? It's usually the small things that hurt the most. Maybe someone has a pair of tweezers we can use to take it out." Fina looks around the room to see if anyone looks like they might have something to help out.

“Oh...” Chiyo’s not sure if she’d want to bother anyone with something like that, and she doubts that anyone would still have tools on them. But still, Chiyo doesn’t know what else to say.. “Al, alright..”

This girl seems really nice. Despite her height, Chiyo doesn’t feel especially intimidated by her.

Fina looked around and asked the others but it seems no one had anything that could help. She returned with a saddened look, "I'm so sorry miss. I couldn't find anything that could help."

"Ah, it's p, probably alright, thank you." It still hurts slightly, but it will probably go away over time. Chiyo gives a polite smile. This woman seems so nice, Chiyo feels herself relax somewhat."I don't think I got your name, Miss. I'm Chiyo Oshiro, it's nice to meet you."

"Oh yes how rude of me for not introducing myself earlier, my name Josefina De Belasco but most people just call me Fina. It's nice to meet you too miss Chiyo!" She smiles warmly at her.

"Ah, thank you," Chiyo appreciates the formality, but she's not entirely sure whether or not to mirror it. "Um, Miss Fina, you're a student at Hope's Peak as well, right? Is it okay to ask what title they've given you?"

She's so sweet and considerate, Fina can't help but give her the same respect. "Of course it's okay! I'm the ultimate wedding planner. What about you miss Chiyo? If you don't mind me asking for your talent."

"Wow, a wedding planner! That must be so interesting!" Chiyo's hands go up to her chest and her lips pull into a smile. "To have a life surrounded by love, it must be so th, thrilling!"

"My talent isn't as interesting, but I was given the title of Ultimate Chess Player."

Fina chuckles at her excitement. "Oh yes, it's a lot of fun and I love being able to help couples with their dream wedding. And miss Chiyo your talent sounds just as amazing. The amount of skill and strategy you must have to be able to claim that title is outstanding!"

“Aha,” she blushes and looks to the side. “Y, you really flatter me.. I don’t think there’s anything I can do that you couldn’t with enough time..” Logic and planning is present in everyone, so it stands to believe that anyone could be as outstanding as her- or rather she is simply not outstanding. “Th, thank you though.....” she smiles. 

"Oh if only that were true. I've played chess a few times but before I can even think of one move the person I'm playing against has already one the game. I just don't think I was made for such a thing." Fina messes with her hair a bit, "Um do you mind if I take the seat next to you miss Chiyo?"

"Sure, I don't mind.." Chiyo shifts herself to let Fina seat herself next to her more comfortably. She watches Fina mess with her hair, seeing her fingers kind of slip through her pink strands. She looks quite cute. "Um.. I... I like your hair.."

Fina sits down next to Chiyo and lights up when she hears her compliment. "Why thank you! I'm rather proud of it. I was actually going to say the same thing about your hair. It's so long and beautiful." Fina wasn't kidding. She's wanted to grow her hair out more but it would be difficult to keep dying it and she doesn't have time for doing it. "What products do you use for your hair miss Chiyo?"

"Oh, oh thank you." Chiyo shyly smiles, subconsciously moving to play with her braids. "I don't actually p, pay too much attention to my hair. I just follow what my parents tell me to do, but um, the brand I use a lot is Ten Voss." Chiyo doesn't know it for herself, but Ten Voss is the world's most high quality and expensive brand of shampoo and conditioner.

"I a, actually really like your hair though," Chiyo continues, looking up at her, " p, pink is my favorite color.."

Ten voss? She's never heard of it before but she'll look into it when they get out of here. But she lights up at hearing Chiyo's compliment. "Thank you! And I'm glad I found a sisters in arms. I get teased by my siblings for liking pink so much but I really can't help it."

"Ah, I'm glad.." She's never quite heard of anyone being picked on for liking a color, especially when it's a girl and it's pink.. Although, something else has caught her attention. "S, so you have siblings? What, um, if you don't mind me asking, what are they like?"

Fina can't help but chuckle when asked this. She can go on and on about her family but best to keep it as short as possible.  "Oh boy, where do I even begin? Well I have two older brothers. My eldest brother Octavio is very kind and hardworking he likes to joke around a lot though. Then it's Jose Luis, he's more of the quiet type and girls seem to like him for being so stoic but he's actually just really shy and isn't very good at talking to others. Then my little sisters Xotchitl and Isabella, they're twins and very much the trouble makers of the family. They like to go on "adventures" around the farm and always come back home covered in lord knows what. And last but certainly not least is Ignacio, he's only 8 but he's the cutest little boy I've ever met. He's always drawing something new and we indulge him by framing his drawings and putting them around the house." Fina let's out a sigh. She has no clue how long she's been stuck in there and only hopes that her family is safe back at home.

Chiyo smiles listening to Fina talking about her family. She seems so happy, or at least more relaxed, talking about them. "That sounds really nice," she finally says. "That's really interesting b, because I've never had siblings before.." She hasn't, but watching and reading as many movies and books as she has, she can't help but get a somewhat vicarious feeling from them.

Fina smiles and nods, "They're troublesome at times but I love them all the same." She tilts her head in curiosity. "I hope you don't mind but what's it like being an only child?"

Her eyes move to the side. "It's quiet.." She thinks about the number of days she happened to spend purely walking around an empty house. "It's really quiet, b, but I don't mind it much." She puts on a sad smile. "I don't mind spending the time by myself.. It's nice doing things for myself.." All the time.

She feels that bad feeling in her stomach again, she screwed up again. She'll try to make it a positive again. "To have the time to focus on yourself sounds like a dream come true! To do your hobbies and just relax sounds wonderful!"

Chiyo nods and smiles politely. "Yes, it really is nice.." She thinks for a moment, knowing and realizing that the time she spends on books and movies might be a bit much. Shaking her head, she brings the conversation back to Fina. "Wh, what kind of hobbies do you have, Miss Fina?"

"Well I don't do much really. When I'm working i like to sing or dance to music. Cooking and uhh... Oh! I'm not sure if you would count this as a hobby but I love to go shopping when I can!"

She smiles, getting a sort of vicarious happiness. "That sounds nice," she says. "M, maybe sometime you should sing for us..."

Fina goes red at the thought of her singing in front of everybody. "Oh no no no. I'm no good at it. I only really do it for fun! My voice isn't really made for that, you know?" She fiddles with her dress to try and calm herself down.

"Would you be un, uncomfortable with it?" Chiyo thought for a moment. "That's fine I suppose, if you don't want to.." It would be rather intimidating to do something like that while there's another Super High School Level (Jazz) Singer amongst us. Chiyo looks to the side and contemplates something.. She's always been really shy, that's no secret. And it is something she'd like to overcome. A, and she's not comfortable with singing or anything like that at all, but if it's along with someone who also isn't confident, th, then maybe it could be a good chance for her too...

"Um..... i, if you... if you do it.. then I w, will t, t, too..." She mumbles quietly.
