[tmnt-l0v3rrr]

If you do plan on taking requests think you could do general yandere hcs for rise donnie?

Yandere Rottmnt Donatello headcanons

-------------------------------------------------

Warnings!

Implied punishment, forced submissive state, forced relationship, Donnie kinda acts like reader is a pet, kidnapping, forced physical touch(?), Implied abuse.

(Unedited)

(Note!!! I struggle writing general stuff so I hope this is okay-)

¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆¤☆

¤ Donatello would try to break you down. To have you submissive and no longer fighting him. No matter what he really had to do. (He only does it cause he wants to see you happy, not angry and scared all the time :( )

♡ Even though he can be scary, borderline terrifying. He is very sweet. You just have to…. Behave, that's all he wants and then he'll love you all day everyday.

¤ He has one of those huge dog beds under his desk with pillows and blankets for you. So when he's working you can still be by his side.

♡ Before he kidnapped you, he was definitely softer with you, only merely implying his love to you.

¤ He isn't a fan of physical touch all the time but that doesn't mean he hates it fully. He definitely enjoys it with you, he's just more picky with other people. (And, how could he deny you?)

♡ At the start of your friendship and the start of his crush on you- He tries so hard to impress you, and it worked. All the tech and knowledge paid off for once!!

¤ He definitely admires the times when you actually smile. He knows what he is doing is scary to someone as fragile as you. He loves that damn smile.

♡ He cares about your physical health, like a lot. Well you're stuck with him he makes sure you're kept very healthy. Good dental health, always making sure you're eating right, making sure to have you join in with training at least 3 times a week.

¤ He shows you all his little interventions he makes for you, and the not lethal stuff-

He also makes sure that Sheldon is getting along with you, and can't have your guy kid fighting with you.

♡ Speaking of Sheldon, he thinks of you all as a family, two parents and the rebel child.

¤ If you ever had to be punished by him for something and you cry, oh good Galileo, his heart can't handle that. He'll immediately feel bad. Yes the punishment was needed but he also doesn't want to cry. It hurts to see, he's cooing sweet things and apologizing until you stop.

♡ Oh and if you ever ignore him? That sympathy can be taken away very quickly. He will do anything to make you talk again. You're his and you need to understand that. He calls the shots.

Hi! There's a non-xanon polyam ship I thought I'd write about and send to you and share since your blog's all about discussion of polyam in media.

The series The Big Bang Theory has a practically canon ship: Raj, Bernadette and Howard. Howard and Bernadette are married, Raj and Bernadette are ship-teased and Howard and Raj get a billion gay jokes.

They honestly are SUCH a throuple.

I have a LOT of problems with TBBT, a LOT. Toxic masculinity, racism, misogyny, queerphobia, ableism...

But it's entertaining and I still want to at least acknowledge this ship.

What's really dissapointing is that the series, like many, constantly jokes about characters being LGBTQ+ (Amy's bisexuality, Howard and Raj...) to the extent that it only isn't canin because it's "obviously" just jokes because gay so funny.

And it would have been so EASY to commit to the joke and ACTUALLY have LGBTQ+ characters. They wouldn't have had to write ANYTHING differently or hire new writers, literally just have the show exactly as it is... But make the gayness canon. Some good could have come out of that problematic show... But nope. And it is SUCH a missed opportunity.

And, back to Howard and Raj, them being a throuple woukd have worked REALLY well.

One of Raj's main traits was wanting love and hating being single, and his romances always failing. The 3 of them being together would have fixed that. He would have a fufilling relationship with a woman he loves and Howard, the character he's shown to be tye closest to. It's literally perfect. AND THEY ROBBED HIM OF IT-

It's rather frustrating that the writers were clearly lazy bigots, and couldn't bother to actually follow through on the jokes and rather blatant threesome subtext...

Anti-woke ppl often criticise representation bevause it's some huge deal and would ruin everything... But... It's not.

If they'd made it canon, it wouldn't have changed the characters or the dynamics at all, it wouldn't have been a big deal. The reason it's made into a big deal is because a lot of ppl think rep = entire character focus and narratives about issues, and don't understand "casual representation". Casual rep in TBBT coukd have existed, but tye writers wasted that opportunity. I could go on about how much Raj/Howard/Bernadette make sense and how it could habe been signgificant rep given how popular the series was...

Also quick shout-out to the lowkey non-monogamous vibes of Amy dating Sheldon and crushing on Penny (she literally imagined Penny/Sheldon fanfic in one scene) who's dating Leonard.

Anyway, so that's about it. Your blog is all about poltam ships and I wanted to share one I personally love tho I have a LOT of issues with the source material lol

i never expected big bang theory asks but i can see ur point and i think ur right the writers are cowards. thank u for rambling to me about this i love reading yalls takes on polyships and stuff

and hey maybe theres someone reading this who agrees w u and more friendship could blossom in powerpolyculeshowdown which is my new goal here tbh i want ppl to get along and have a good time

Day 6

I'm going to tell a few personal stories this month, and this is the first of them: how S- and I became "S- and Stacey".  For context, tomorrow is our sixteen year anniversary.  S-'s parents are going to have a sleepover with N-. So S- and I will get to spend tomorrow and the day after together.  S- likes to get take out or take me to a restaurant, I like to just hang out with him, anywhere.  We've already given one another several gifts.  But we're like that all year long, we just step it up around this time.

I met S- twenty years ago, more or less.  I was a teenager and he was in his twenties.  To be exact he is eight years older than me.  My family was helping my sister move, and there was a lull before the work began, so I was outside talking to a friendly guy, when he looked up and said "Hey, S-!" and I turned to see this tall, dark-haired goofball sliding across a large patch of ice in the parking lot of my sister's building.  He had nice eyes, a big smile, and a baby face.  He introduced himself, and joined the conversation.

The whole time we were helping with the moving, S- hovered around me, and I felt at ease with him.  As a child, I'd always clicked with boys.  Not all boys, of course, but I also didn't click with all girls.  In my teens, though, I started to be self-conscious around "guys", and I was no longer natural with them, my behavior was forced and, in retrospect, just embarrassing.  That was never the case with S-.  He made me laugh, he was a good listener, he and I had a lot in common.

Despite the age difference, we had enough mutual friends that we would see each other when we would go see movies, and when we'd go to a coffee place after the movie, he and I would often end up sitting near each other.  That situation evolved into my parents trusting him to give me and my friends rides to parties.  Meanwhile, I was growing up, and one day I was no longer a cute little kid in S-'s eyes.  He noticed that I was pretty attractive.  I was completely oblivious to my feelings for him.

I'd had a pretty potent crush on someone else for a few years.  There's a quote from a movie I love, the remake of Sabrina (1995): "Illusions are dangerous people, they have no flaws."  I thought if I "loved" someone hard enough, they would eventually love me back.  Notice how I put "loved" in quotation marks, because there is such a big difference between infatuation and real, honest love.  The whole time I was chasing the illusion, real love was budding in me, but I was completely unaware of it.

Until.  Usually, when S- came to pick me up in his car, I would end up sitting in the passenger seat, next to him.  But when we also picked up one of his close friends, that friend called shot gun, and I was relegated to the back seat.  I was not happy about it, even though the back seat was perfectly comfortable.  I was like Sheldon Cooper being forced out of his "spot", and I realized that the reason it was my "spot", was because I wanted to sit next to S-.  I wanted to be able to look over and see his profile as he drove.

I'd always friend-zoned S-, possibly because he never hid his enthusiasm for my company.  When I appeared, he would make a beeline, with a huge grin on his face.  He still gravitates to me, even now.  And now, I finally appreciate this tendency of his.  Funnily enough, while I had a crush on another guy, S- had a crush on another girl.  So we each considered the other a good friend, even though we had such amazing chemistry.  And we got closer and closer as friends with each passing year.

I now had my own car, and a job at a little retail store, and I didn't bother to pack myself a lunch, because I thought skipping the midday meal would help me to lose weight.  I had a little Nokia flip phone and I had given my number to S-, and he called, and for some reason I confided that I had skipped lunch and I was hungry.  He was on his way home from work, and the place where I worked was on the way, so he stopped, got me some food, and brought it to me.  From that day on, he'd check in to make sure I was eating, and since I wasn't, he'd bring me food.  I got used to having him stop in every day to see me.

We were texting one another, seeing one another, I was falling for him hard.  But he wasn't asking me out.  And there's no other word for it, I had been rejected recently.  I didn't have the courage to ask him what his intentions were, even though they were pretty obvious.  So one night he texted me: "I just saw a shooting star!"; so I asked: "What did you wish for?"  He replied: "I'll tell you tomorrow."  I couldn't wait for tomorrow.  I was sure I knew what he was going to say.

When he joined me, just as my shift was almost over (by the way, I always worked alone in that little shop, and in the evenings we had the place to ourselves), there was a little bit of awkwardness.  He tried to get the words out, and he was just too shy.  Finally, he said: "Well if you'd wished on a star, what would you have wished for?"  Now, I'm a forthright person and I go after what I want, but my heart was still healing from that dumb crush.  Nevertheless, I just went for it, and said: "I'd wish I could go out with you."

"Really?" S- asked.  "Really," I replied, and thew my arms around his neck.  I closed the store, we went to a nearby coffee place, ordered two hot chocolates and sat talking.  And the rest, as they say, is history.  If I were to describe us in one word, I would use "inseparable."  Friends first.  Friends always.  We’ve had some pretty rough patches.  At times I worried we weren't going to make it through certain storms.  But with each upheaval, we've come to know one another better and better, we've seen how to support one another in more and more loving ways.  I'm confident that I have found my life's partner.  My one and only.

Carolina

Marine Biologist AU that no one asked for but I wrote because I miss my second home. Probably two parts.

Very brief mention of a family members death

"Hi welcome to-" Leo stopped his normal speech when he was met with the two most gorgeous men he had ever laid eyes on. "Welcome to the Fort Fisher aquarium. I'm your tour guide Leo and this is Regulus." He somehow managed to snap out of his shock even though the greeting was all muscle memory.

“Two guides. Must be special." The red haired one laughed a laugh that made doves fly. "I'm Finn." He shook their hands.

"That and both of us wanted a break from sticky children trying to swim with the sharks and gators." Reg smiled.

"Sharks? Like ocean sharks? And ocean alligators?" The shorter one asked in shock and a lot more than a sprinkle of fear.

'Fuck he's adorable' Leo swore internally. "Alligators are typically fresh water reptiles but if you are asking if they are real sharks and alligators, than no. They're they’re hyperealalistic mechanical sculptures." He kept a straight face.

"Cute and funny." Finn flashed him a smile after another angelic laugh.

Leo had to remind himself to not die right then and there.

“Don't worry, Logan" Finn told the other one. "I'll protect you from the scary teeth, baby."

Now Leo was sad.

“Oh yeah, right after you stop ogling over our hot tour guide."

Now Leo was slightly less sad and confused.

“Actually." Regulus pulled out his phone. "Our manager just texted and said he needs someone in the gift shop. Have fun." He left with a pat on Leos back.

Leo glared as he walked away, they didn't get texts from anyone for any assignment. Hence the walkie talkies on their belt loops.

“So, follow me and we can start the tour." +++

“This is our 235,000 gallon tank." Leo stood over top of the two story tall tank. In here we have our eagle rays, round stingrays, whiptail stingrays, hammerhead sharks, sandbar sharks, sand tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks. We also have two moray eels and an abundance of fish including shanks and groupers. And a personal favorite, Sheldon the green sea turtle.” Leo stood on the rusted grate with ease as if he didn’t care about the hammerhead only a few feet away from his toes.

“Um, this is great and all but can we not stand on the edge without a railing?” Logan stayed as far away as he could an the 2 feet wide walkway.

“You’re completely safe don’t worry.” Leo flashed a reassuring smile.

“Okay yeah but-”

“Stop being a baby, Lo.” Finn poked his side.

“I’m sorry I’m scared of falling into a 23 foot deep death cylinder filled with sharks.” Logan defended himself.

“Alright we can go officially start the tour.” Leo laughed. “But we do have to walk across the tank.”

“We what?” Logan asked.

“It’s okay. Just don’t look down.” He decided to risk a wink.

“Listen to the hot guide, babe.” Finn kissed Logan’s cheek. “I’ll hold your hand.”

“I love you, Harzy. But I do not trust you enough to not try and scare me.”

“I promi- no I don’t. Fine.” Finn whined when his plans were spoiled.

“Alright, let’s go.” Leo laughed.

They got across the walkway with only a few exaggerated wobbles to scare Logan. And a very grumpy Logan when Leo told him there was another way around the tank.

+++

“So here we have our bald eagle Maverick.” Leo walked up to the opened enclosure. “He’s five years old and has been here since he was two. He was found on the side of the road nearly starved after being hit by a car. If you look at his left wing you can see it juts out a little. That is due to the bones fusing together incorrectly and it makes him unable to ever fly again.” He recited the well known script.

“Poor baby” Finn stuck his bottom lip out.

Leo blinked away the urge to kiss the sad look off his face.

“If we walk up here you can see the aquariums prized possession.” Leo smiled. “Luna the albino Alligator.”

“Oh my god.” Finn hurried over to the glass.

“She looks like you, lover. Pale as fuck.” Logan teased.

“Luna is one of just 100 recorded albino alligators world wide.”

“World wide?” Logan asked in shock.

“Yeah. It’s an extremely rare genetic mutation and due to the inability to hide from predators they’re numbers are next to zero. Very soon they’ll be no more albino gators.”

“What happened to that alligators toes?” Logan pointed at the dark green alligator.

“That’s Gantur. He still hasn’t learn that Luna’s the leader.”

“She bit them off?” Logan’s eyes went wide.

“Don’t underestimate her. Ready to continue?”

+++

“This is my favorite exhibit.” Leo’s face lit up as they walked up to the touch pool.

“Touch anything as long as you use two fingers and don’t pick anything up.”

“Are those stingrays?” Finn pointed towards the end of the touch pool.

“Yeah. They’re still babies and their stingers have been trimmed. Their barbs are like thumbnails and can be clipped monthly without any harm.”

“What are those?”

Leo’s face lit up impossibly more.

“These are horseshoe crabs.” He held onto one of the dark greenish brown banjo shaped creature.

“They are also called living fossils due to the fact that they haven’t evolved at all since the dinosaurs, around 450 million years. It’s mostly due to the fact that they didn’t need anything added or taken away for survival. They were made perfectly. Now their tails.” He pointed to the long stick like end as it moved around with the help of what looked like scaley gills. “Most people look at it and think it will hurt. But it won’t hurt at all. They are extremely, extremely clumsy and use the long tail to flip themselves back over.”

“Sounds like you.” Finn kissed Logan.

“Rude.” Logan scoffed.

“Horseshoe crabs aren’t actually crabs at all. They’re actually more closely related to scorpions and spiders. Watch.” Leo smirked and flipped it over.

There were five pairs of claws moving around as the gills moved up and down like abs, causing the tail to move with it.

“Here-” Leo grabbed Logan’s hand, he tried hard to ignore the way his skin burned. “Touch it.”

“Oh no I’m okay to just look.”

“Come on, just touch it.” Leo begged. “Please just touch it.” He pouted.

“Oh my fuck you’re adorable.” Logan voiced Leo’s exact same thoughts from before.

“Here” he blushed and bit his lib to contain the smile. “Touch it.” He guided Logan’s hand down to the center of the legs, desperately trying to not think about how close they were. Logan’s t-shirt touching his blue polo shirt with his name stitched in the side. The way he could feel Logan’s breathing against his side, the way his leg was pressed between Logans le- stop it.

“Eww that feels weird” Logan’s laughed raised goosebumps on his arm.

“You’re touch his mouth.”

“Ew ew ew ew” Logan pulled his hand away quickly as Finn cackled.

“You asshole” Logan laughed as he pushed Leo lightly.

“Sorry, but it’s funny.” Leo laughed.

“You are now my second favorite person on earth.” Finn put a hand on Leo’s shoulder. “Oh my god I’m crying.” He wiped his eyes.

“Wouldn’t mind if he stayed our favorite.” Logan smiled.

Leo blushed and moved onto the regular view of the huge tank.

+++

“So how’d you get a job here?” Logan asked Leo as they walked around.

“I’ve lived on the island my whole life and started volunteering here when I was 13.” He explained. “I’m going to UNCW for marine biology. Are you two just here for vacation? Even though it’s April.”

“No. We’re actually moving down here. My grandparents owned the arcade on the boardwalk and left it to me once they passed.” Finn told him.

“Oh. I’m sorry about their passing.”

“It’s okay. Didn’t really know them at all.”

“Well I’ll hopefully see you around.”

“Maybe you don’t have to hope.”

Leo tilted his head in confusion.

“We were just wondering if you would want to show us around the island.” Logan told him. “We’ve only been here for a few days and this is the first place we’ve been to. Not even the beach.”

“Oh that’s nearly a sin.” Leo teased. “I’d love to show you guys around. I get off in an hour.”

“Perfect.” Finn said happily. “Do you want to drive over to our house and then switch cars or do you need to change?”

“That’ll work. There’s a locker room and since there’s next to no one here considering the time of year Evan will probably let me leave early.” Leo couldn’t hide his smile as they walked into the brightly lit gift shop.

Logan let out a loud gasp and ran over to the 6 foot long jellyfish stuffie. “I want it.”

“It’s tentacles are going to strangle you, love.” Finn shook his head.

“Kinky” Logan wiggled his eyebrows.

Finn scoffed as three other people in the quiet store laughed.

“Oh hi again Regulus.” Logan smiled at the black haired man who was sitting on the countertop beside the register tossing a brightly colored foam ball with turtles on it between his hands.

“Hey” He smiled back.

“What’d they need help with down here?” Finn looked around the empty room cluelessly.

“He didn’t help me?” The girl beside him raised an eyebrow. “Hi, Rue by the way.” She waved before going back to glaring at Regulus. “Did Evan tell you to help me?”

“No.” Reg smirked. “Just wanted to leave Leo alone with his crushes.”

“Reg” Leo pushed him.

“It’s mutual.” Finn said and Logan nodded.

“Okay. I’m gonna go ask Evan if I can get off early so I can show you a tour of the island and then get changed and I’ll be back down.” Leo changed the subject quickly.

“They’ll show you a tour of their bedroom and then get you off early.” Rue said quietly but not quiet enough. Leo shoved her hard as Logan, Finn, and Reg cackled.

+++

“So are we ready?” Leo walked back down in shorts and a UNCW t-shirt.

A cropped UNCW t-shirt.

“Uh- yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah.” Finn stuttered failing to make it look like he wasn’t staring at Leo’s tan abs.

Finn on the other hand had no shame. His eyes raked his entire body as his mouth went dry.

“Alright. I’ll follow you guys?”

“Huh? Oh yeah.” Logan nodded.

“Get it Knut.” Reg cupped his hands over his mouth and shouted as they left the gift shop and headed outside to the 100 degree weather.

Fic Writer Review

Thanks for the tag @cheesybadgers :) :)

(I'm gonna do the AO3 version 'cause I have more stuff there)

How many works do you have on AO3?

Um... 133? I'm fine! It's fine.

What are your top 5 fics by notes?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/5174777/chapters/11921108 - Coming Around Again - Gwen Stefani/Blake Shelton (look I went through a phase okay)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/5813326/chapters/13396783 - Blind Item - Gwen Stefani/Blake Shelton

https://archiveofourown.org/works/356897/chapters/577987

Pandora's Box - Penny/Sheldon

What’s your total Tumblr word count?

1,039,100 (um wow)

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Sometimes it takes me a while but I try to respond to all of them these days. I haven't always. But now that comments are few and far between, I like to acknowledge that I received it and it meant a lot to me.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I'm gonna say The Reverse Crush Conundrum - https://archiveofourown.org/works/337353/chapters/582178 -

Sheldon and Penny have that magical happy ending and I'm proud of it.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Ride - https://archiveofourown.org/works/25249018/chapters/61208128 It has a bittersweet ending because Jesse gets to be happy in Alaska but also Walt is dead, ha.

Do you write crossovers?

I wrote a Ghost Whisperer x CSI crossover once when I was in the middle of a Problem with both of those shows -

The Distance of the Dead - https://archiveofourown.org/works/149402/chapters/214040

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Oh yes, one of my Sheldon/Penny fics certainly caused a commotion among the Sheldon/Amy community, ha. I posted it three years ago and still get hate for it occasionally (it's also my one-shot with the highest kudos soooo)

Green Light - https://archiveofourown.org/works/19461592

Do you write smut?

Do I ever not write smut?

If so what kind?

Most of the time it's porn with feelings, lots of touching, so much kissing, but also quite explicit when I feel like I can get away with it. I resisted slash fic for so long for whatever reason and when I finally got into it, I can't stop writing it now. Which is possibly and/or probably problematic.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No, no one wants claim my weird shit, ha.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I think I've been asked about it before but I haven't seen it.

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

I used to say it was Grissom/Sara (woooo CSI premieres tonightttt) and Sheldon/Penny but I think I have to go with Walt/Jesse and/or Bryan/Aaron at this point, based on both the amount I've written and how long this hyperfixation has lasted so far (we're almost going on a year and a half here). The heart wants what it wants.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Ohh man there's a few. https://archiveofourown.org/works/4437278/chapters/10081616 - The Sliding Door Hypothesis (Sheldon/Penny) deserves to be finished but I ran out of steam. Same with You're Back (Grissom/Sara) - https://archiveofourown.org/works/3199556/chapters/6957857 - but Grissom did end up coming back and then I didn't feel a need to finish it which is disappointing.

What are your writing strengths?

I'm stealing this answer from @cheesybadgers - I think I’m good at characterization and introspection re: the characters’ thoughts, feelings, motivations etc.

Pretty much sums it up, ha.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I have a huge problem with repetition. I use a lot of the same words and phrases in literally everything I write. It drives me crazy! Also I'm just not very good at describing kissing anymore, which makes me sad. I want to write the best kisses, damn it. Also I'm not that great at visual descriptions of things like my bestie @yoporkchopsandwiches is. I want to describe the view from a mountain and it's all "Everything looked smaller below, it was pretty and scenic." Help.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think it's great if you can pull it off, but I am not fluent in other languages so that's not really my jam.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

If we want to get really technical, I wrote some embarrassing cringy Baby-Sitters Club parody stuff when I was like 11 years old and I first learned how to use a computer. But we will not speak of that.

In 2004 I watched CSI for the first time and I noticed that Grissom and Sara were really flirty together ("Chalk. From plaster.") and I was so intrigued that I searched for them on the interwebs and it was then that I discovered fandon/fanfic and my life was forever changed.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Ohhh that would be Muscle Memory - https://archiveofourown.org/works/34083892/chapters/84791023

It's been a year-long journey, from just thinking about the concept to plotting it all out and then taking my sweet time writing it. It's over 100,000 words, the longest story I've ever written, and I'm very proud of it. I have a favorite story in every fandom I've written in but this will be forever be my favorite, I am pretty sure of that.

No pressure tags: @yoporkchopsandwiches, @huesos-sangrientos @whatwearewillbe and anyone else who wants to play!

"I don't like to wear my glasses when I'm committing unspeakable acts of evil. They make me look bookish." For the college au?

Sheldon couldn’t believe his luck. His intro to philosophy professor had randomly paired everyone up for a team paper. It wasn’t even worth that much of their total grade, but it meant, by some divine intervention, that he got to spend a few hours every afternoon for a week with Karen. Of course, Sheldon had been absolutely taken with Karen since the first month of their first semester, when she accidentally tripped him in the middle of meal hall. Ever since that fateful encounter, he’d spent hours dreaming, designing, scheming ways to spend more time with her. And now, with no intervention of his own, it was finally happening. They’d added each other on Facebook and used messenger to figure out a time and place - specifically right now, in the library. Not wanting to blow his chance at romancing his dream girl, Sheldon planned and practiced what he was going to say to woo her for days. And yet, when he arrived, none of that came out. What did come out was “Are you wearing contacts?” “Hmm?” Karen lifted her head from the textbook she’d been scanning over.  “Your glasses.” he tried again. “You’re not wearing them. Just kinda took me by surprise, since you’ve had them on every time I’ve seen you.” Now, there was a reason Karen wasn’t wearing her glasses. A good reason! But not a reason she wanted to explain to Sheldon. She wasn’t wearing them because of how often she was told ‘you look so pretty without your glasses!’ and she had a huge crush on Sheldon, and she wanted him to think she was pretty, too. But obviously, she couldn’t tell him that. So instead, she lied “I   don't like to wear my glasses when I'm committing unspeakable acts of evil. They make me look bookish.” “Really?” Sheldon was unconvinced, evident from his tone, and from the way he raised an eyebrow and scrunched up his nose. Karen thought it was the ‘unspeakable acts of evil’ he was gong to comment on, but to her pleasant surprise, he asked “Bookish?” Raising an eyebrow of her own, Karen countered “Yes, bookish.” “No, no, ‘bookish’ is a word for ugly people.” he waved a hand dismissively. “Ugly nerds really. You can’t describe yourself as ‘bookish’ when you’ve got that whole sexy librarian thing going on.” “Sexy Librarian?” she repeated in a sarcastic tone of disbelief. “Yeah, you know, like, tight blouses, tight skirts, glasses, hushing with threat of ‘punishment’...” “And that’s the vibe my glasses give off? Really?” she was completely deadpan.

Sheldon felt his cheeks go red. “I mean...yes? Sort of? Don’t get me wrong, you’re plenty sexy without the glasses, but...” Had Karen been drinking something, she would’ve choked on it. “We should, uh...” there were a lot of things she thought they should do. Most of them would be inappropriate to do in the university library. Then again, if he thought she fit the ‘sexy librarian’ archetype, maybe that was what he expected? “...we should work on this paper.”

“Doll, I need to tell you something that I’m sure you’ll be wanting to hear.” Bucky announced. You looked up from your phone to see him smiling mischievously. You narrowed your eyes momentarily and turned your attention to him. “What is it?”

“Steve fancies you.” Bucky whispered. “He admitted it when we were at the gym.”

“R-really?” You say, blushing as you’ve had a huge crush on the man out of time. Suddenly, Bucky began laughing and playfully smacked your shoulder, “Bazinga! I was only jokin’, doll!”

You sat there shocked and balled your hands into fists at his Sheldon Cooper joke.

“Manchurian Candidate, here, had a brilliant idea that I’m starting on right away.” Tony informed Sam and I as we entered his lab. We look to Bucky who had a small yet proud smile on his face. “What idea is that?” Sam asked.

“The flying car my father built during the War,” Tony began to explain as he typed a few things on his computer. “We’re going to rebuilt a newer version…a better version. The genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist version.”

Sam groaned as you rolled your eyes and looked at the both of them. “That’s a crazy idea.”

“Hey!” Bucky pointed at you. “I’m not crazy, doll. My mother had me tested.”

“Man, shut the hell up!” Sam says, irked by Bucky’s continuous Sheldon Cooper jokes.

[lesbiancharliedalton]

i just remembered that during my extreme kingdom hearts phase when i was 12 i had a huge crush on axel (also english VA voiced sheldon from mlaatr..... just some tea) wow........ stick to a type you dumb bitch

[fighterkimburgess]

23, 25, 26, 30, 31, 35, 36

23. What’s your dream date?

...my first date with the guy I'm technically seeing? We said we'd go for a coffee. Four hours later we basically got kicked out of the cafe we were in because they were closing. Just getting to talk to people I care about, it's the best.

25. Do you like parties?

I like get togethers. I'm too old for loud parties and late nights, but I like parties that are chill. A few friends, a few bottles of wine, a movie or some music and some takeout. That's my kind of party. The even idea of going to a nightclub makes me wanna break out in hives.

26. Did you enjoy high school?

Yes and No. I detested my first secondary school. I was bullied through primary school, and the bullying continued in secondary cause most of my primary school went to that one. It was really, really bad. I ended up basically dropping out in fourth year (age 16), so my parents scrimped and saved to send me to a grind school. I thrived there. I made some amazing friends, I was able to dig into school, all of it. It was the best time, and I feel so grateful to my parents for being willing to do that for me.

30. Instagram or Twitter?

Twitter! I've had twitter since I was 15, and I use it for politics mostly. I've nearly 2,000 followers and it's a weird place to be in. But I love it. I basically stopped using insta for a few years, and now so much of my job revolves around it I don't like it.

31. What’s a show that everyone loves that you didn’t?

Basically any sitcom. I hate Friends and think it's awful, The Big Bang Theory makes me upset, and Young Sheldon has made me nearly throw something at the TV. The only sitcom I like is Brooklyn 99. I'm not even a huge parks and rec or the good place fan. I can appreciate them but they're not for me.

35. Who are your top 5 celebrity crushes?

So I'm demisexual, crushes are weird for me. But off the top of my head? Paddy Flueger, Marina Squerciati, LaRoyce Hawkins, Taylor Swift, Hanako Greensmith.

Can you tell just how queer I am?

36. If you could learn one language fluently what would it be?

Irish! I can just about get along, but I wish I was a lot better at it. I used to work for a transport company in the Gaeltacht, and I was known as "Cíara, an cailín go dtí mBaile Atha Cliath" (Cíara, the girl from Dublin) because my Irish was so awful but I was always willing to try learn from them.

10 Things That Make No Sense About Two And A Half Men

It’s a shame that the recent generation views Two and a Half Men as a ridiculous show that had cheap humor and no level of wit, because it had started off on a pretty good foot and was on its way to becoming a respected series.

RELATED: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About That ‘80s Show

Due to all the controversies surrounding it, the show’s name has been sullied, although even if you consider its heyday, Two and a Half Men had a lot of inconsistencies. With the show not caring much about continuity or much of anything by its end, here are 10 things we’ve found that about Two and a Half Men that don’t make sense.

10 Alan's Alimony

Due to Charlie messing things up with Alan’s lawyer, she ended up handing Judith a freakishly generous alimony that effectively made Alan something of a poverty stricken guy. Up until Judith got married to Herb, Alan had to pay her a ridiculous amount of $4000 a month!

Clearly, Alan wasn’t making enough money to support himself, what with his business hardly having any customers and him living with his brother, which should have made it an easy case to file a motion to the court to have the alimony reduced.

RELATED: 10 Things That Make No Sense In Cheers

9 Alan Trying To Win Judith Back

Twice during the course of the series we saw Alan wanting Judith back, despite the fact that Judith had openly confessed she hated Alan and had made his life miserable. On the first occasion, he may have even impregnated her when she was separated from Herb.

Bizarrely, Alan tried to get her back in the series finale, where he called her the love of his life and the one he rang up when he believed Charlie was going to kill him. At this time, Alan was engaged to Lyndsey, making it nonsensical why he would call Judith.

8 Charlie's "Ghost"

After Charlie Sheen was fired, Chuck Lorre tried pretty much everything to belittle him on Two and a Half Men, one of which involved making Charlie Harper an older woman in hell. Here, Charlie’s spirit supposedly visited Alan to impart advice, and even proved himself to be Charlie and not Alan’s imagination.

Cut to the finale, and we had the actual Charlie Harper show up, making this ghost something that doesn’t make any sense. Alan didn’t even think about how he had met Charlie’s ghost, which should logically make the entire ghost storyline non-canonical.

7 Fourth Wall Breaks

On occasion, it’s actually pretty funny to see someone from a TV show break the fourth wall and talk to us, but Two and a Half Men made this a running habit.

Usually, when characters do break the fourth wall, they are well aware of it (Deadpool, for example), but Two and a Half Men seemed to feature this for no apparent reason other than to get a cheap laugh. Why would the characters know they’re in a show then not mention it the next second?

6 Alan And Walden's Marriage

Like the final season of How I Met Your Mother was useless in that it was based around Barney and Robin’s wedding, only for them to get divorced in the finale, Two and a Half Men pulled a similar move.

The plot to the season was Walden and Alan getting married so they could adopt a child; this didn’t matter in the slightest come the finale. We didn’t even see their adopted son in this episode, and their marriage was dissolved in the preceding episode. Summing up, the whole of Season 12 was there for no reason.

RELATED: Big Bang Theory: 10 Times Amy And Penny Were Friendship Goals

5 Chuck Lorre's Scene

All right, maybe you could explain why the fourth wall breaks sometimes, but there can be no explanation as to how Chuck Lorre was present during the scene the piano fell on Charlie. The piano had crushed him because it had been strapped to a helicopter, which at least justifies the scene, but what the heck was Chuck doing there?

There was no attempt made to hide the set either, as you could clearly see the production lights when Chuck was crushed under another piano. If the show had ended and then Chuck came up, it would’ve been understandable, but are we to believe there was no fourth wall at all here?

4 Same Actresses Showing Up

A lot of the actors seemed to be interchangeable when they weren’t playing important characters, and since the show had a huge abundance of Charlie’s one-time conquests, we saw the same actresses show up more than once.

However, this doesn’t help continuity in the slightest when the same actress was used for both a minor role and for a prominent one. For instance, Jennifer Taylor, the actress playing Chelsea, was seen two times having the same role of Charlie’s hook-up, only for her to then become the love of his life as a different character the third time around.

3 Keeping The Series' Name Even Though It Didn't Apply Anymore

By Season 9, Jake’s appearances became more and more infrequent, to the point that he would only be there for a scene or two. It was here that the show clearly had lost its last part of the title. 

After Season 10, Jake’s replacement wasn’t a boy nor even a male, as we saw Jenny take the role as the tritagonist. By Season 12, Jenny was disposed of too, and since Louis was never treated as an important character, it was really just Two Sad Men when all was said and done.

RELATED: How I Met Your Mother: 10 Best Songs Featured On The Show

2 Charlie's Failed Character Developments

From the first season to the eighth, Charlie’s storylines always went through the same formula: he would mess around with women, then find one he fell in love with, only to then dump her because he liked messing around too much.

This would have all been okay had there been an endgame to it, such as Charlie finally developing as a person and realizing he was doing the wrong thing, but this wasn’t the case. In the end, Charlie remained exactly the same, and died with no point to all the storylines where he had repented his previous actions.

1 Charlie Wanting Revenge On Walden

There was clearly no love lost between Ashton Kutcher and Charlie Sheen, both of whom passionately disliked the other. However, Walden didn’t steal Charlie’s spot in-universe, and legally bought Charlie’s house because it was believed Charlie was dead.

And yet, Charlie was out to get Walden in the finale, and even had figurines cut out to threaten him. We’re still wondering why Charlie would want revenge in the first place, if Walden never met him or did anything to warrant such antagonism. If anything, Charlie and Walden would've gotten along great because they were both tired of Alan mooching off them.

Plot: Canyon Conquest - Part 6 (FINAL)

((On that one faithful day, the Great Zapfish went missing for a week. And Callie was nowhere to be found in Inkopolis. Will the entire city’s power run out? Or will they find a solution to bring it back? The answers will surprise you.))

((WARNING: This story contains spoilers to Splatoon 2. For those who haven’t owned the game or completed story mode, please keep scrolling ahead. Thank you and enjoy.))

Eimie belongs to marchant-girls

Agent 7 (mentioned) belongs to agent-7-at-your-service

Lee (mentioned) belongs to inklingleesquidly

The fight continues in the middle of the concert against DJ Octavio featuring Callie. And of course, the DJ is doing all the dubstomping while the brainwashed pop star is still singing. He launches out ink bombs, takoyaki bombs, and even his own two golden fists to stop the two heroes but ends up getting pounded by his own robotic fists..

After what feels like an eternity of knocking back one golden fist after another, they were on the brink of winning. “Geez… Nobody said, this was going to be easy.. There’s no way to reason with Callie..” She was getting a bit exhausted from avoiding incoming projectiles.

“All of our spawn points are shut down, the moment we got started. We need to get this done, quickly. Or else, the power will soon go out…” Mantis thought back to his brother, Gale. He couldn’t let him down, while he’s recovering in the hospital.

Callie was displeased by their actions as she stamped her foot to get Octavio’s attention. “C'mon, DJ!! Step up your game!! They’re ruining our concert!” There was anger behind her hypnoshades as she glares at the two agents.

“You got it! I won’t be bested by a group of slimy little hipsters, twice!! I’ve been waitin’ for the right moment to bust outta this snow globe while Cuttlefish is away.. I’m going to take back, what’s rightfully mine after 2 years!” Octavio doubled up his assault by hovering into the air. His two golden fists began spinning and spewing out a huge amount of his ink. He throws in both punches, trying to crush the two agents.

Phantom and Mantis managed to dodge from the gold fists, once more until they were cut-off by a barrage of Suction Bombs. They weren’t getting away that easily. The bombs detonated in front of them, causing the two to lose their Hero Hoodies. “A-Ack..!!” Phantom winced, falling back onto the pavement. She was caught off-guard by the surprise attack from above. She laid there, struggling in Octavio’s ink and she’s vulnerable at this state. Mantis was struggling to stand up as his Hero Hoodie was damaged for the time being.

“Oh no, this is bad..!” Marie was watching them from the spawn point, giving them some instructions. As soon as the two Inklings were on the edge of getting splatted, she must take matters into her own hands and try to focus on Callie. “Hang in there, you two..!! I’m on my way..!!” She has no choice, but to call in Sheldon to help her out

Octavio looms over them with a sinister look on his face. “Gyahahahaha!! I meant to miss, in order to catch ya’ll by surprise! Hate to cut this short, but dubstomping you two into oblivion will be icing on the cake!”

Struggle as she might, Phantom could barely move away from the gigantic machine. She looks up at Callie and began to plead her to snap out of her trance. “C-Callie..!! This isn’t like you..! Please, don’t do this..!! You belong in Inkopolis… not in Octo Canyon..!! He’s manipulating you like my brother..!!”

“Foolish girl… It’s too late to stop to me.. I like it here, already… You’re just obstacles in my way, keeping me from fulfilling my destiny..” She gave her a thumbs down, before glancing over to Octavio. “Crush em….” She ordered the Octobot King.

Suddenly, Marie was standing still on a flying truck, driven by Sheldon. She changed into her usual Squid Sisters outfit, before she hopped on the truck. It’s a surprise that one of the Splatfest trucks. “Keep it steady, will ya..?” Marie said, maintaining her balance. She can’t allow her allies to never see the light of day. She’s sure of it.

Mantis held onto Phantom, before the DJ launches one more attack. He was indeed scared but thanks to Phantom, he made it all the way to the end. “P-Phantom… I know, we just met and everything but… If we don’t make it alive, I wanted to have the courage to say that I li-” Mantis was cut-off by a sudden hug from Agent Phantom.

“I know.. I like you, too… I’m sorry for giving you crap from the beginning.. I was a real jerk to you..” Phantom started to shed a few tears, still holding onto him. She was never afraid of anything, but this is her first fear of losing a new friend. They both closed their eyes for the last time, before the inevitable.

Before Octavio could finish the job, he heard Marie’s voice and it’s getting closer. Callie heard it as well, but she can’t see her cousin. Wherever she is, the sound of hovering is getting louder and louder.

“Don’t worry, Callie… I’m here.. And I can’t let those agents get splatted, too..!! I have one shot to knock off those ridiculous shades..” Marie takes aim at Callie’s shades while she’s standing still on the truck from afar. She sheds a tear, before pulling the trigger without warning. Marie’s special Low-Tide ink travels across the air at blinding speed, directly on Callie’s shades. The impact knocked back Callie and her shades with a sounding shriek. Her shades were missing on her cousin’s face and Marie was glad to see her eyes after so long. “It worked..!! My Low-Tide ink finally worked..!” She was relieved to save Callie.

Octavio noticed that her shades were missing and he freaked out. “No!!! The hypnoshades!!!” He cried, canceling his attack. Now that Callie is stunned, his plan will be ruined.

“Uuuooogh….” Callie groaned from the headache, she’s having. The Low-Tide ink is taking effect like Fynn did, back in Musselforge Fitness. She couldn’t remember where she is or how did she get here.

“H-Huh..?” Phantom opens her eyes to see Callie who is still stunned. This was the perfect chance to grab her Hero Splatling and recover in her own ink. “Callie’s not looking too good.. Is that the same ink that saved Fynn…?” She asked, getting up on her feet. She pulls out a Curling Bomb and tossed it, backwards. She descended into the ink, restoring her Hero Hoodie within seconds.

“Maybe.. We still have a chance to fight back…!” Mantis can rest for now as he restored his Hero Hoodie. He grabbed his Hero Duelies and stepped away from the DJ.

“Don’t give up, agents! While Callie is stunned, fight back to stop Octavio at all costs! I’ve got some singing to do!” Marie lowered her Hero Charger and started to sing her own single, Tide Goes Out. Sheldon steered the truck away from the action. There’s no point in interfering anymore.

“She’s right.. Let’s wrap this mission up, once and for all!” Phantom got into position as she revs up her six barrels of destructive power. Their mission is coming to an end, real soon.

DJ Octavio was furious about not only Callie, but Marie and the two agents. He has no choice, but to double the efforts in stopping them. “You will ALL pay for this..!! Time to turn up the heat, pronto!” The DJ released more ink bombs onto the battlefield, seeing if he can fool them again. One things for sure, that’s not the case. He is preparing to launch both golden fists.

Phantom and Mantis can’t be tricked, a second time. They separate each other, avoiding the explosion. Once they dodged, they were greeted by two large fist. The agents looked at each other and nodded as they fired at the two golden fists. They knocked them back and hit the ship with Octavio and Callie. The impact caused Octavio to fall out of his booth and landed near their feet. They didn’t waste any time to shoot him and knock him back to his seat in return.

“Gwaaargh!!” Octavio crashed into his ship from getting pelted by a barrage of ink. His head was spinning for a short moment until he shook of the dizziness. He glared at the two Inkling with rage in his eyes. “You two are as annoying as the last agent who defeated me!” Octavio couldn’t bare the thought of seeing Agent 3. It makes him sick to his stomach. He still wasn’t going to give up that easily.

The battle rages on for at least, a minute or two. In the background, Marie continues to sing her single, while Callie was singing hers. She is still in a daze until the corruption wears off. Agent Phantom took turns by taking care of the takoyaki bombs, while Mantis is covering her by fending off a golden fist or two. While they were in the middle of fighting, the music was turned off.

“Uggh… My head is spinning… Callie’s senses are coming back to her. It appears that Marie’s Low-Tide ink was a success. ”…Where am I? …What am I wearing?“ Callie was confused at first, until she realizes what was going on.

“It’s done..! Now, time to bring her back..!” Marie pulls out a boom box in her hand. With a press of a button, the music starts to play. “Callie, please remember..! This is the first song, we performed before we became idols..! That sweet melody…” Marie held it up in the air in front of her.

“The one.. and only…” Callie’s memory came rushing back to her as her eyes lit up. This is the same song that they performed at the Youth Singing Contest, back when they were children. “I… I-I remember, now!! Marie!!” Callie cried as she took the leap of faith over to the truck, where Marie is standing on. She was so happy, she hugged her cousin tight. “M-Marie.. I’m so sorry…!!” And then, she was crying over Marie’s shoulder during her embrace. She was happy, scared, and confused at the same time.

“It’s okay, Callie.. You’re safe now.. You had me worried…” Marie sobbed, happy to see Callie again after a whole week of her disappearance. She lets go of her embrace and she held her hands. “I’ll explain, later. Right now, my new agents are going to take care of Octavio for what he did to you.. Let’s do our part and restore the Great Zapfish, just like old times..”

Callie nodded, enthusiastically. She’s back to her bubbly personality as she stood straight with her cousin. “Whoever these new agents are, I’m counting on them! Let’s rock this town, Marie!!” The Squid Sister began singing Calamari Inkantation in order to shut off Octavio’s funky fresh beats.

“It looks like the Squid Sisters are back..!!” Phantom was happy to see them, reunited after so long. It’s just like old times. Suddenly, a Sheldon drone flew over her and dropped in a briefcase by her feet. Inside it, was the newly developed Rainmaker. “No way.. I get to use this…?!” Phantom has never used the Rainmaker, before in her life. She usually supports her former team to make a path.

“Yes, but there’s only one Rainmaker to use. One of them has to finish the job. I’m sorry.” The Rainmaker is fairly different than the old model. It shoots out a powerful orb of ink, instead of firing an ink tornado. Sheldon gave them a thumbs up in the driver’s seat as a sign of good luck. Even though the mission is coming to an end, he still has some research to do on his new hero-type weapons.

“Only one…? That means, I’m leaving Mantis, behind..” She looks over to Mantis with a worried look on her face. They cleared all kettles, together. Her thoughts were interrupted by Mantis, giving her a pat on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry about me, kay? I’ll just hang here, until you take care of Octavio. We’ve got this far and we’re going to finish this, once and for all.” He gave her a reassuring smile, boosting her confidence. Mantis isn’t fond of using the Rainmaker, anyway.

After a lot of thinking to do, Phantom smiles and nods. Everyone is depending on her to beat the DJ and restore Inkopolis’s power supply. Too bad she’s going to keep this agent shtick, a huge secret from her parents but Fynn. The launch pad appeared in the middle of arena for Phantom to get on. “Thanks.. Thanks for everything..” She grins, happily before walking towards the launch pad and super jumped from here. She landed, safely on one of the two ink grind rails for the grand finale.

Octavio caught up to Phantom in the air in time to flatten her. He would soon head bang to the song from the Squid Sisters. Maybe, he’s a closet fan that Phantom doesn’t know about. Nonetheless, he threw the first punch.

Agent Phantom carefully aimed at the golden fist. She charged up her shot until she releases a huge blob of ink. She was caught by surprise of how the Rainmaker fires. She watched Octavio’s golden fist get knocked back and landed a critical hit on his own ship. “Awesome..” She stared at her own weapon in amazement. Sometimes, she has to expect the unexpected.

Octavio was knocked through a loop for a short period of time until recovered. “You’re a persistent little scamp, I’ll give ya that..! But this is FAR from over! This time, Inkopolis will fall by my hands!!” The second punch is indestructible than the first. He releases the drilling punch at Phantom. There’s no way to knock it back. All she could do is dodge.

“That’s easier said than done, old man..” Phantom jumps up in time, before the drilling punch could get to her. She landed on her feet and maintained her balance on the rail. This could continue for a few seconds.

Meanwhile, Tundra and Fynn arrived into the arena in time see what’s going on. The pink Inkling squints his eyes to see the fight from afar. “I can’t see, clearly from here.. I don’t know where my glasses went..?” Unlike all Inklings and Octolings, Fynn could barely see from a 100 yard radius. That’s why he uses either his contact lenses or prescription glasses to help him.

“I can’t get closer, but I’ll tell you what’s going on.. It appears that your sister is on the rails, carrying some kind of weapon… Don’t know what kind of weapon it is… I know that she’s getting the upper hand.” Tundra steadied her ship, steering clear from the Squid Sister’s performance. All they could do is watch from the sidelines. The battle continues on as Agent Phantom went toe-to-toe with Tundra’s ex-boss. On Tundra’s point of view, it felt like an hour long.

Octavio has had enough of her tendency to use him like a boxing punching bag. With all of his desperation, he launches both drilling fists at Phantom. “I’ll shatter you into pieces!!!” He said, as his fists charged at Phantom at top speed.

“Uh oh..!!” Phantom reacted in a surprising way, but it didn’t faze her. Not even a flinch. Phantom shifted from one rail to another and landed on her feet, maintaining her balance again. She’d noticed the next punch that Octavio just threw. She charges up her Rainmaker and delivers a final blow, knocking the fist back to Octavio once more.

“Cuuuurrseeeeeesss!!” Octavio shouts as his entire ship blew a fuse and he was falling down to the ground. As the entire ship crashed, Octavio was struggling to get out. He’s going to be defeated, twice by a new recruit.

Phantom notices the third grind rail being activated and she hops over to the left. She descends to meet Octavio for the last time. She could hear cheering from the Squid Sisters, Mantis, and even Tundra and Fynn. Earlier, she didn’t wish to be here in the first place. But now, she fought all the way to get here with Mantis. She leapt off the rail and was falling down on Octavio and his damaged ship. She managed to slam dunk onto the fallen DJ’s face by planting the Rainmaker as a victory.

“…This can’t be happenin’. I was supposed to win… It ain’t fair, yo..” As Octavio admits defeat, the ship is breaking apart. It suffered a heavy amount of damage and it’ll soon burst into one massive ink pile.

Phantom quickly got out as fast as she could before the inevitable happens. She ran up to Mantis in the nick of time to see the explosion. The entire ship gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Until the ship exploded in green ink with Octavio in it. “Get down…!!” Phantom pulled Mantis down as they ducked for cover.

Fynn watched the explosion from afar with Tundra. This scenario seemed familiar to him. He remembered watching the whole fight on national television, 2 years ago. He cheered Agent 3 on as the ship blew up into a huge pile of orange ink. History repeated itself as Fynn pumps his fist into the air and shouted: “Alright!!! Way to go, Phantom!!” His vigorous shouting startled both the Squid Sisters and Tundra. It appears that their mission is finally over.

The entire arena went quiet as Octavio was unconscious and falling down to the ground. There was no way he could survive that fall. Before he meets his doom, a large tail grabbed him in time and set him down, safely. The savior is a giant, electrical catfish that appeared in front of their eyes.

“Is… Is it over…?” The two agents stared at the Great Zapfish in awe. It wasn’t long until Sheldon lands the truck to meet the heroes with an unconscious DJ. They both turned to face the Squid Sisters, grinning like fools.

“Agent Phantom. Agent Mantis. I couldn’t thank you enough for not only you saved all the Zapfish and the Great Zapfish, but saved my dear cousin..” Marie smiles, happily. She was indeed crying from pure joy after the mission has ended.

“You two were super awesome!! I can’t believe, you risked your lives to save me! I am forever grateful!” The peppy pink idol gives them, a big huge. After their agents-to-idol bonding, Callie noticed the aircraft from above. It descended down and landed near everyone. Callie wasn’t going to be kidnapped, twice. So, she was getting on the defensive to get even. She may not have her Roller with her, but she can open up a can of whoop-bass.

The hatch opens up and Fynn climbed out of the saucer to see his sister, Mantis, and Callie. “Are you guys, alright..? I saw the whole thing with Tundra..” He was clearly talking to Callie, Phantom, and Mantis except Marie. Which she’s not in danger. He walks past Marie to meet Callie after so long.

“F-Fynn?! You’re here, too?! It’s been so long! The agents who saved are fine! So, how ya been?” It’s been months since she last saw Fynn. Of course, a friend of Lee’s is a friend of hers. She greets him with a big squid hug.

“My mind’s a bit fuzzy, but I’m fine.. I was wondering if you’re ok after breaking the trance.. I too, was brainwashed..” The arena went quiet as Callie wasn’t smiling.

“You too, huh..? To be honest, I was terrified.. I didn’t know, what to do or say anything about this… I was suppose to go with Marie in our hometown, but…” She lowers her head in sadness, not looking into Fynn’s eyes. “I can’t remember a thing, after that..”

Fynn felt the same way, when he was freed from corruption. After all the Zapfish he stole and one bruised up Inkling, he’s afraid if someone finds out that he’s the culprit behind it all. His reputation will be over, quickly. “Guess, we’re both afraid of something.. Now, that nightmare will be put to rest for a long time..” He looks over to see an unconscious DJ on the ground. He looks back at Marie and agents with a resting expression on his face. “Let’s take this outside, shall we..? I’m getting tired after a whole week.. Me and Tundra are going to carry Tavi into the saucer. We don’t know, what to do with him yet.” Fynn carefully pokes the large Octarian with his Herobrush. It wouldn’t be wise to tamper with a passed-out body.

“I guess, our work is finished. I really needed a vacation after this..” Marie agrees with Fynn for once. She took Callie’s hand and escorts her back to the truck. As for Phantom and Mantis, they hitched a ride with Fynn, Tundra, and Octavio. The DJ himself is really, a heavy sleeper.

20 minutes later…

They all arrived back to Tentakeel Outpost after short flight to the surface. The Great Zapfish has finally returned to his post and all the Zapfish went back to their homes. The lights in Inkopolis have been restored, once again. The rest will soon hear the good news from Off the Hook, first thing in the morning.

“There… I put Octavio in a snow globe to keep him contained.. Captain Cuttlefish hasn’t returned home with Agent 3, yet.. If he does, he’s going to have a stern talk with Octavio. I’m not leaving, until he comes back.. Callie will be staying with me for the time being until she goes back to work..” Marie rested on the bench, wiping the sweat off of her forehead.

“Now that we’re heroes, it would be best to keep this a secret.. I just want to return to being just Dawn..” Dawn was out of her hero gear and free to stretch. Her parka jacket is still worn out after several months. She will buy some new gear after the whole power supply is solved.

“Understandable.. I’m so happy that I collected enough data on all the Octarian vehicles and weaponry. But still, that was intense for me.” Mantis will never forget this new experience as an agent. He might use his improved skills to join Gale’s team as a 4th member.

Tundra looks over to see the DJ and back to Fynn. “I’m sorry for dragging you into this mess… I have a feeling that I’ll be in serious trouble.. Agent 7 suggested me to go down there to save you..” She has a bad feeling that Tundra still has head on the bounty.

Fynn shook his head in response. “There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I know, you’re a Mimic Octoling because Unit 64 already told me.. It’s still an honor to be training with you.” Fynn gives her, a hug to cheer her up.

Tundra smiled a bit and returned the hug from her pupil. “That’s good.. You’re still on a long break from training, by the way. Also, I allowed Eris and Alex to stay in the dojo to clean up the place. It was a mess, when I got back.” As long as Eris deletes Tundra’s criminal record for good.

Dawn’s eyes were getting heavy as she yawned, but covered her mouth. She was spent after collecting all the Zapfish for 5 hours. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she realizes something important. “I have to get back to the apartment..! I’ve forgot that I was supposed to return home after I was done turfing. What time is it, anyway?” If Mom finds out about Dawn being an agent, she would be mad at her for going to Octo Canyon.

Sage checks the time on his phone. “It’s 8:15 pm.. Wow.. we’ve been out in the canyon for so long, we lost track of time. I should get back home, as well.. I’d hate to receive another lecture from my mom about staying out this late.”

“How about, I both take you home.. If Mom asks about where we’ve been, tell her you’ve been battling a lot until we pass out.” Fynn would get the feeling that his mom isn’t going to fall for that lie. Fynn turns back to look at the three ladies. “Hate to cut this reunion short, but I taking them home.. They’ve been through a lot like I have..”

Callie happily waves at Fynn, Dawn, and Sage. It’s good to be back after a week. “Take care, Fynn! We should hang out sometime, if I’m not busy with work! Oh! And make sure to tell Lee that I’ve returned. The cutie’s been feeling down, lately!"

Fynn doesn't go back on his word. He gives her an "OK" gesture. He hasn't heard from Inkopolis's wonder squid in a long time. He'll make sure to visit the Squidly residence, once he lays low for a while.

("Why does no one wants to hang out with me..?”) Marie was feeling, a bit left out. Maybe, she’ll invite Agent 7 over for some tea. “Once again, thank you for all your help. Staaaay Fresh.” Marie gives them, a smile before heading back inside to sleep. Callie went inside with her to relax. As for Tundra, she waves at the three before she returns back to her dojo. But first, she’s going back to Cephalon HQ to pick up Eris and Alexandra.

30 minutes later, Fynn knows the direction to Dawn and Sage’s new apartment. During his walk, he admired the new part of Inkopolis. Now that Inkopolis Plaza is less populated, he’ll be battling here. Once the whole mysterious figure footage dies down. Fortunately, no one cared that he used to roam through the night and steal all the Zapfish. They arrived at their after a lot of thinking. Fynn took the elevator to the 3rd floor. where Dawn and Sage lives as neighbors. As soon as Fynn was about to visit Dawn's doorstep, he noticed someone coming out of the apartment room. A flowing purple tentacle appeared in front of him, causing him to stare in shock.

"F-Fynn..?! Dawn..?!" Fynn's girlfriend, Eimie stood in front of his as she brought a hand to her mouth. "I-Is that really you..?" She was worried that Fynn will get corrupted, again after their encounter at their own apartment. Her boyfriend's eyes were no longer crimson and he wasn't wearing his Octoling Armor. Eimie placed a hand on Fynn's cheek, making sure if he's back to normal.

"Babe.. It's me.. I'm the squid, you've fallen in love with for 2 years.." Fynn held her close in his arms. He caresses her by stroking her back. "What are you doing here, if you don't mind?" He asked.

"Mrs. Sparks invited me over for some advice about parenting and stuff.. She asked me to pick Dawn up from the Square, but.. I don't have to go out, anymore." Eimie looks over Fynn's shoulder to see Sage. "And who's that, eh?" She asked.

"I'm Sage Evergreene. I'm Dawn's next-door neighbor and a new friend." He looks at Dawn and smiles and then, back to her. "We met in a Turf match. Not only she's a tough cookie, but she's cool to hang around. I was planning on taking her home, we ran into Fynn." Sage made a promise to never bring up their mission in Octo Canyon. Not anyone, including Gale.

"Ah, that's cool! I'll be sure to tell Cheryl, all about you! Thanks for taking her home!" Eimie and Sage, both shook hands before he was about to go back in his apartment.

Without warning, Dawn ran up to Sage and pulls him in for a hug from behind. She whispered: "I'll see you, tomorrow.. oKay..?" And lets him go from a 3 second hug.

"O-Okay! See you then!" Sage smiles with a shade of seafoam green on his cheeks. He waves, goodbye at the three before heading back inside. They've both gotten off on the wrong foot, but they've bonded until they've completed their mission.

Once Fynn and Dawn stepped inside, they were greeted with a deep hug by their mother. She was so happy to see her son after so long. "F-Fynn, my boy... Don't you ever have us, worried ever again..!! I received a call from Angie and the others.. They've been on a search party for weeks and there was no response..!! Where on earth have you been..?!" Cheryl continues to cry on his shoulder while Dawn and Eimie comforts her.

"It's a lot harder to explain, but... I've been away for a long time, thinking about my life choices.. I realized that my main purpose is to redeem myself from my past.. I'm sorry for worrying you, Mom..." Which is quitting his job as a dishwasher and focusing on making his own photography business. He embraced his mother for a long time until Cheryl decides to get to her room with her husband. As for Dawn, she was too tired to chill with the couple. And so, Dawn went to her room and rested on the soft bed. That leaves Fynn and Eimie by themselves to chat.

They took their conversation on the rooftop the apartment. They could see the beauitul city lights and one happy Great Zapfish from here. Fynn leans over the guard rail to get a better view. Now with his prescription glasses on. "Sure is one hell of a sight, ain't it?" He said, taking it all in. The full moon shines upon the two lovers, making it even more beautiful.

Eimie inches in closer to Fynn and snuggled up with her. "Mmmhm.. It's perfect.." Eimie rested her head on his shoulder and sighed. "Fynny.. I'm glad this nightmare is over..."

"Yeah.." He stood ther with his girlfriend by the rail for a few minutes to enjoy the view of the city. And then, something was on Fynn's mind. Despite a bit of fuzziness in his head, he remembered when Eimie mentions about starting a family. "Hey, um... Eimie. Can I ask you something?"

Eimie turns to Fynn, getting her attention. Whatever Fynn is asking, she's willing to listen. "Hm? What is it, babe?"

"When you said, you wanted to started a family.. While I was walking home with Dawn and Sage, I've been thinking about our future. I wouldn't mind having a loving wife and kids to raise.. I was wondering if you're serious as I am." Fynn is still 20 years old and hasn't learned anything about parenting, yet. And his mom just brought her over to know about being a parents.

"Fynny.. I'm super serious.. We've been dating for two years and I wanted to spend the rest of my days with you.. There's no denying it.. It's okay, we don't have to do it now. We still have a life, ahead of us." Eimie responds with a smooch on his lips.

Fynn closed his eyes and returned the kiss. They broke the kiss and he was so happy to hear. "I wanted to spend the rest of my days with you. So, yeah.. Let's wait for at least 5 years until we're ready to start a family.." With that said, Fynn and Eimie cuddled each for 5 more minutes until they decided to spend the night at Dawn's apartment.

Speaking of Dawn, she was laying in her bed the whole time. She was heavily exhausted from the mission. Dawn doesn't consider herself a hero, but she improved her battling skills to go into Turf Wars again.

Her eyes were getting heavy as she was about to drift off into a deep slumber. "Tomorrow's gonna be a fresh start...." With that said, the hero fell asleep. She earned it after becoming the saving Inkopolis from a severe blackout. With her neighbor and new friend by her side.

THE END

[lizwontcry]

What do you think about Sheldon and Penny in general? What finale did you want for them? What plot would you choose to get them together? Also what are you thoughts about them in the latest seasons? It was very unfair how we got less scenes in each season. Like "okay, we get it, there is no Shenny in a romantic way but unless we want more scenes of them together." I thought after 8x16 it was going to be different in a good way. You know because they became closer.

Hello! Thank you for asking. I can talk about this all day.

I think realistically the best time for Sheldon and Penny to have at least flirted with the notion of getting together would be after Leonard confessed to cheating on Penny and Sheldon and Amy broke up at the same time. They could have found comfort in each other, even if it was a bad idea, even if it was just for an episode or two. I think that would have been a really interesting story, and then for the rest of the seasons they could be like, “Hey, remember that one time we made out and it turned out to be a bad idea?” Or maybe even some juicy pining for each other if necessary.

This whole season kind of sucked, I watched every episode thinking “They have this amount of episodes left and this is what they’re doing?” I’m glad Sheldon and Amy got the Noble but what about Penny? She wanted to be an actress so bad in earlier seasons, why couldn’t she have auditioned for one more thing and gotten a big part before it all ended? Instead her ending is that she’s pregnant. Yay. First she has no identity until marrying Leonard and then her fate is that she gets to have kids with him after previously expressing that she doesn’t want that. I think if she and Sheldon ended up together, they would have happily had no kids and would spend the rest of their lives teaching each other and going on exciting adventures. 

The lack of Sheldon and Penny scenes in the last, IDK, 3 or 4 seasons has been depressing. In the earlier years they had such interesting and important moments together. That took a backseat to them interacting with basically only their entanglements, which sucks. To me, Leonard is so boring and has so little to offer and I just feel bad that Penny, who is capable of so much more, got caught up in the whole “Well, he lives across the hall and he has a huge crush on me so I guess we’re meant to be” shit that the writers have forced upon us. I “get” Sheldon and Amy since they’re so similar and such, but Penny’s fate with Leonard has always been such a question mark to me.

I had no illusions that they would get Sheldon and Penny together after 8x16, although that would have been a good time to make it happen. It just shows that the writers know they have chemistry and gave us that episode to tease us forever. Rude.

Thanks again for the question!
