#is the monsters inc 'put that thing back where it came from or so help me'

[diabolicrecreation]

Watched the Monster's movies and they're so much better than I remembered. They were so unapologetically fun, which I haven't seen in many animated movies these days. However, this drawing came at a price to my sanity in a way, which I'll elaborate below.

Sooo I may have forgotten to do one of my assignments because I was so enthralled while drawing this. That homework slipped my mind so hard it must've gone into a coma. Thankfully, it survived the coma because my professor extended the assignment ^u^. Not often that this happens to me but in the end mike wazowski was worth it.

Me, age 11, watching Monsters, Inc. for the first time:

Me:

Me: Maybe the real monsters were the corrupt corporations we made along the way...

[xnotxyourxbabyx]

I love watching Disney movies late at night nothing more comforting. Specially when it’s Monsters Inc 💚💙💜

pokemon fans after explaining to arceus (gamefreak) why their fave should be the next character to experience indescribable trauma, severe memory loss, separation from friends/family, and most importantly a surge in angsty fanworks:

The universe knew they shouldn't give me the ability to draw bc I am losing my MIND at the utter NON-EXISTENCE of a Monsters Inc. X Interview With The Vampire Loustat AU

Louis latching on and immediately caring for Lil Boo (Claudia) and Lestat literally yelling at him to "PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME!!!"

Murder mountain

(Yandere Azul Ashengrotto x Afab Reader)

Modern AU

TW: Dark Content, Attempted Murder, Harassment, Non Con/Rape.

Part 1 (you are here), Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6

Cross Posted on AO3.

Synopsis: It was simple. Azul Ashengrotto hated you. Reaching your breaking point, you decide enough is enough: you're going to kill your boss.

But little do you know the dark secret your tyrant of a boss is hiding.

╒══════╕

Roll me a paper doll

From your fall harvest

In the murder mountain

You say it's dangerous out there

For a city bird like me

╘══════╛

 It was simple. Azul Ashengrotto hated you.

It was the worst, considering he was the CEO of Mostro, Inc. A famous chain of restaurants in most huge cities, he was quite literally a billionaire at this point.

But instead of being wrapped up in what was the next thing he wanted to spend his money on or spending his time and energy on expanding his company...

His sights were set on you.

A simple cog in the machine.

You just crunched numbers and kept track of where the money for the company was going, along with 200,000 employees.

It seemed horribly unlucky that he focused his negativity on you.

But the weirdest part of all was that Azul never fired you.

He'd lay into you with the worst verbal abuse ever in front of a bunch of other employees in the breakroom or in meetings with your teams with him, but it was never enough to get you to transfer out of the department he overlooked. Nor keep him far away from you.

But today was your the breaking point.

You cried for hours in the bathroom stall on the first floor of the spiraling 80-story building you called your workplace. Frustrated because you tried. You really tried to fix things today with the most innocent intentions, but someone decided to bring it to Azul's attention that you were talking to a big shot belonging to the rival company.

Claiming you were the one leaking Mostro Inc.'s secrets to said rival company.

And Azul did not tolerate his empire's secrets being leaked.

He always had a bad feeling about you from the start anyway.

Azul made his distaste clear when he came to your cubicle that morning and embarrassed you with a loud display of "punishment," starting with how you ruined everything and how no one in the company cares for you.

Worthless.

Insignificant.

Whore.

And with a grand finale,

He walked to your desk to grab your 6-year-old laptop from your desk.

Smash

Your laptop, which you could barely afford, was smashed in half with nothing to salvage right in front of your very eyes.

"It's coming out of your pay, by the way," he said in a sickly innocent tone as he waltzed away back to his office with Jade Leech-  his assitant and assitant director of finance in tow.

All of your coworkers just stared for what felt like forever at the broken pieces on the ground.

No one tried to step in to help you.

Either out of fear of being Azul's news target or because what he said was true,

Simply put, no one cares.

It wasn't far from the truth that you no one to defend you from the monster.

-

You sat in the bathroom, defeated. That laptop was your everything. You couldn't afford a laptop like he could or your co-workers could. You barely had enough to eat lunch every day.

You couldn't take it—all the rejection and the inability to be useful to anyone at the company you couldn't get fired from.

Being Azul's punching bag for 3 years was going to kill you.

A thought oozed into your mind.

You decided he must go away.

-

At lunch the next day, as you sat alone in the farthest corner of the purple-accented breakroom space, you overheard a coworker discussing how their sister had been paralyzed by getting her legs crushed in the warehouse and couldn't walk and had to be moved to rehab to learn to cope without the ability to move her legs.

Legs...

The words sat in your head all day at work as you mindlessly crunched numbers until you got home.

You don't have to kill him.

Just hurt him so badly, he'll never be able to walk again.

Let's see who's useless now.

The image excited you, seeing your tormentor in his pressed suit, helpless and weak.

Later that evening, Jade gave the teams all a brief mandatory talk about the spring retreat in the northern California mountains this coming Monday.

You listened intently to his talk.

It was magical how it all fell into your lap.

The perfect crime, the perfect scene, and a perfect victim.

-

"So why are you here today? What was the purpose of this visit? '' Azul said lazily, sitting in his leather swivel chair that was directly in the middle of his monochromatic office space.

Azul wasn't wearing his usual pressed suit  but instead a white slim fit turtle neck with matching brown slacks with the small purple Mostro Inc. octopus logo you'd been accustomed to seeing all over your workplace.

The view of the cityline behind him shone with a brilliant hue of gold and red above the whole city. If only he were a benevolent soul as the CEO of his rival company; Sugar-horned Devil, you'd dare say that him overlooking the city behind him would be a blessing.

"Sorry to repeat myself, Mr. Ashengrotto, but the assistant director told me you have to be there Friday at the campsite to get the preparations for the retreat ready." You calmly explained.

You knew you couldn't let your mask slip

you tried your best to focus on the sun setting in the distance behind him.

"So what your saying is, of all people, you... are going to be the cheuffer for me? Two days in advance?" Azul Ashengrotto said with a cold expression, staring at his computer screen, his eyes unmoving from it. Clearly, what was on the screen was more important than pretending he cared about the words that had come out of your mouth.

"Yes, although I'm telling this to you, Mr. Ashengrotto, you must keep it a secret. Someone might try to attack you again remember last summer's incident.." You said looking down at his heavily decorated desk.

“Jade and the rest of the teams are coming that Tuesday to the cabins. You're merely going to ensure the campsite is safe and appropriate for the trip," you said, trying to secure your mask from letting your true intentions slip out of it.

You knew it'd be hard to convince him to believe this tale you were spinning without him dragging Jade or even Floyd into it, but you had nothing to lose.

He sat in silence as the light filling the room had now changed into a deep evening blue from the beautiful ombre orange-yellow hue the sun cast as it said goodbye for the day.

After what felt like an eternity, he spoke again.

"If that is all you have to say to me, then get moving and stop wasting my time, money, and air just standing there doing... nothing," he said as he returned to gazing at his computer in silence.

-

The plan is in motion.

It was nightfall by the time you got to your new temporary stay—a beautiful cascade of tall redwood trees on either side of the two-lane highway into the mountains, secretly concealing the barely lit modest motel with a barely illuminated sign that flickered in and out occasionally.

Behind this motel, beyond the sea of evergreen trees, was a vast mountain system.

The one closest to the motel was the destination.

It was definitely out of the way to get to this motel, but the only ones in the area close to the Mount Evergreen campsite were either extremely expensive for a 3-day stay or were too far, so you'd never be able to fulfill the most crucial part of your plan.

You pulled in to the furthest parking spot across from the entrance to the second-floor staircase.

You just got the key for the room yesterday, so you still struggled to remember exactly which room it was.

One..

Two..

here it is.

Third from the staircase: Rm.203

You open the door to your temporary base, as you have called it.

A little efficiency, with a rear window in the bathroom and a window in the open space, was now filled with some snacks you brought from the store before you made the 3-hour drive from your actual little apartment, your bedding from home since you'd want to be comfortable the few days you stayed here, your work clothes for today and tomorrow before the big day, and your "travel bag," as you named it.

You sat in your bed and began to look up at the ceiling, eventually laying down to face

Now, to wait for the next phase of your unusually cruel plan to unfold.

-

The days before Friday blended in together, but finally Friday came.

You woke up, turning your alarm off, from a dreamless sleep.

For some reason, you had an immense feeling of anxiety wash over you.

You assumed it was from the dread of Azul ruining the plan somehow, or worse, making your life miserable by being stuck in a car with him for 4 hours to get to the dreaded campsite.

You shook the feeling off by reaffirming that he wouldn't be able to hurt you verbally or physically after this anymore.

He would be crippled.

The power would be gone from him.

With that being thought to yourself, you wore a fitting outfit for camping in the mountains: some soft pale lavender yoga leggings and a white cropped t-shirt.

After finishing your outfit, you grabbed your "travel bag," an overnight bag that was a dark violet with accented white straps, ensuring everything was in there despite making previous checks that previous evening after work.

A bat, shirt and shorts, a map, gloves, and a prepaid phone.

You zipped the bag up and left your phone on the nightstand to stay plugged in for the day. Carefully walking to the motel's bedroom window, you closed them, finally turning the TV on loud enough to hear from the outside.

You went to the small bathroom window. first throwing the bag out, hearing it land with a thud. You shimmied through the narrow window, landing roughly near the bag.

Though you managed to land without killing yourself, you forgot to land on your toes, causing you to feel the painful shock tingle behind your ankles.

After rubbing the back of your ankles a bit to hopefully quell the surge of pain your legs were feeling, You checked your prepaid phone.

10:32am

You had to get a move on for this plan to work.

You opened your bag to grab the pair of white gloves and started to slip them on to temporarily distract from the pain your fall caused.

But you didn't have much time to idly wait for it to stop hurting. You had to get to Azul's estate in time for your plan to succeed.

Begrudgingly, you began the 3-mile walk to Azul's estate, letting yourself be swallowed up in the sea of trees leading to the main road.

The ranger academy instructors are literally just like mike wizowski from monsters inc.

Students : bring sage back to the academy.

Instructors: put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!

Unfortunately for Rhianth the "put that thing back where it came from or so help me" meme fits his final moments with Zilan perfectly. Sorry to make light of your trauma, dude

2023 fanfic - words were worded!

A link to my post from last December for New Years thoughts. (Which I have since unpinned)

I wrote... so much more than I expected to this year, over 200,000 words on ao3, which is very exciting, mostly because I am still? having a good time? Somehow?

30 fanfic published! 3 Good Omens crossovers with Sandman, 1 Foreigner fanfic I started a lot of years ago that I finally finished, and then in October SOMEONE got me into Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix and I somehow wrote 4 of those. The other 22 are all Sandman, and mostly Dreamling, (though I did branch out for the femslash event in October!)

If you're doing math and looking at my profile you're going, Karalyn you're off by two. Yep, because I published two of them anonymously. I may take them off anon at some point but them's the breaks. Some of you have read them already. At least one of you has probably figured out they're mine but been too polite to say anything and I thank you.

Coming up in 2024, I have a few things that are definitely getting published.

In January is my long Gen fic which is "what if Gault looked around and at Jed when Dream got free and just said is anyone going to adopt this child and didn't wait for an answer, and took him back to the Dreaming with her." I realized it was becoming a Monsters Inc scenario, and is therefore titled "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me."

And I've got a fic for the Centennial Husbands Big Bang, which will be my first go at writing something novel length on purpose. (As well as my first big bang.)

I STILL plan to finish Black Unicorn AU at some point it's just... the brain is doing what it wants to do. Hopefully some more porn (I've got a few in WIP and at this point it's only a matter of time until Leo answers an ask that makes me feral,) and hopefully the two further Good Omens/Sandman crossovers. I've also got one more half-finished Foreigner fic I'd really like to do something with.

Rules: post 10 of your favourite comfort movies then tag 10 people.

Thank you for the tag @its-all-ineffable 💖

The Holiday. Hot people Christmassy romcom, what's not to like? What Jack Black does with his character!! Beautiful!! And do I need to say more than Kate Winslet? Also single dad Jude Law in glasses!! Cameron Diaz rocking out to The Killers!! And driving a Mini down a country road and nearly getting wiped out by a lorry. So accurate it's *chefs kisses* Favourite scenes include: Arthur's moment to shine, Miles and Iris in Blockbuster and the tent scene with the kids with an honourable mention for Mr Napkinhead 😂 It's my go-to movie whenever I'm sad because it's just so stupidly funny and adorable.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Jim Carrey. That's all I have to say. Honestly, I've seen this film a million times. I can quote it by heart and do so regularly much to my mums annoyance. The schedule scene is very me anytime I'm invited anywhere 😂 some favourite quotes "Am I just eating because I'm bored" "Hate, hate, hate. Hate, hate, hate. Double hate. LOATHE ENTIRELY!" "We're gonna die! I'm going to throw up, and then I'm gonna die!" "The insolence! The audacity! The unmitigated gall!" "Nice kid... bad judge of character" (absolutely me with my niblings) It's just the perfect remedy whenever I'm ill.

The Muppets Christmas Carol. I love all the adaptations but this one is my favourite. Me and my mum snuggle up every Christmas Eve and sing along. It reminds me of the magic of childhood Christmases and soothes something deep in my soul.

The Old Guard. This is the only adrenaliney one cos I have anxiety and I need chill shit if I watch a film but Joe & Nicky are my perfect Immortal Husbands and the tiny details of their relationship are all-encompassing and easily distract from all the murder and kidnap 😂

Mary Poppins. Do I need to say more than Julie Andrews? Dick Van Dyke. The outfits. The songs. Suffragettes. Tea parties on the ceiling. Dancing penguins. The merry-go-round horses. When I was a kid my mum used to foster so our house was always full of kids who needed someone to love them, make them feel safe and bring them some joy. That's probably why Poppins is one of my comfort characters, my mum was her.

Alice In Wonderland. Any of the adaptations. They're all brilliant. I do love the 1951 animation though mainly bc I adore the dormouse scene but becoming BFFs with a load of weird and wonderful creatures in a dreamstate is just *chefs kisses* Any scene with The Mad Hatter in any of the adaptations is my favourite but I am a sucker for the clean cup move down scene.

Sherlock Gnomes. I also love any Sherlock adaption but this one's just hysterical. Watson is just done™️. Sherlock and Juliet's squirrel disguise when sneaking through the park kills me every time. Moriarty as a pastry mascot and the fact he has dumb gargoyles as his assistants. Perfection really. Honestly, this film is just so fucking stupid you can't possibly feel sad when you watch it.

Monsters, Inc. bc it might've been like twenty years but I still want a Sully hug!! Also the pure beautiful hilarious chaos that is this film cracks me up. "Mike Wazowski", "Always watching" and "Put that thing back where it came from or so help me" are just killer lines. I absolutely adore The Abominable Snowman too he's just too sweet.

The Addams Family. Any of the films. All of the films. Gomez and Morticia are ultimate couple goals. They adore each other. Support their kids unconditionally. So kind and generous it often gets them in trouble. They're just perfect.

Red, White And Royal Blue. Last but not least, only because it's the newest. This film was amazing!! I adored the book and although the film is different I love that it's basically a 'what if' fanfic of itself. It was genuinely lovely to be able to watch a queer story and be able to relax with it!! Don't get me wrong I love how profound queer films can be but they either have me gripped in anxiety waiting for the shoe to drop or have me reaching for a comedian to brush away the deep-seated sadness. I felt so safe and yeah they have their ups and downs like every couple but I think I'd have felt the same safety with those characters even if I hadn't read the book first. 5* 10/10 highly recommend. Will be watching this on repeat for the foreseeable future.

Absolutely no pressure tags @mickalaem @flowercrowngods @auroraplume @estrellami-1 @i-less-than-three-you @mentallyundone @hbyrde36 @penny00dreadful @adhdsummer @writingfanficsfan 💖

“Well put it back”

Lololol alt! Donnie coming in with alt! Splinter both ready to shed blood to get alt! Leo back

One: put that thing back where it came from or so help me! (He’s completely unaware he directly quoted monsters inc)

Alt! Leo: bro we wouldn’t even be in this fucking mess if you like touched grass, hugged your brother and told him you liked his shit for once! He gave you a heart bro like fucking use it?! If my bro gave me a heart, regardless of the context in why I needed it, I’d at least tell him it was fucking awesome?

One, probably: quiet you!

If ALT Leo came in accusing One for not loving his brother he'd be pretty pissed because everything One's done so far has been to protect him.

Like he wouldn't be super obvious that that's why he's angry, but.. yeah. It wouldn't go very well for ALT Leo at all.

[disneybuddy]

mike wazowski

Why I like them: Because he's hilarious. I dare you to watch Monsters Inc. without laughing at least ONCE at anything he says.

One thing I don't like about them: ...I honestly can't think of anything.

Favorite quotes from them: "I don't believe it... I was on TV!"

"Yooooooooooooou and meeeeeeeeeeee, me and yooooooooooou, both of us togethAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Oh, hey! We're rehearsing... uh, a scene! From the upcoming company play called, uh, 'Put That Thing Back Where It Came From, Or So Help Me'! Heh heh heh... it's a musical! Heh, yeah..."

"Okay, look. I think I have a plan here. Using mainly SPOONS, we dig a tunnel under the city and release it into the wild!"

My brOTP (which is apparently a "one true platonic best friends" sort of thing) for them: Sulley, of course.

My OTP for them: Celia (again, an obvious one).

Someone who I do NOT ship them with: Randall, apologies to anyone who ships them.

A headcanon I have for them: I have a few...

He's great at improv (this might actually be canon).

There's at least one member of his family who doesn't have arms (since the original design for him didn't have arms).

He tried to get "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me" made into a Broadway musical. He failed miserably at it.

An unpopular opinion I have for them: ...I can't think of one here either.

And some favorite pictures of them:

[drama-glob]

do you like the outtakes in a bug's life, toy story 2, and monsters inc?

Yeah I find them all pretty funny, especially Monsters, Inc since we get to see them perform "Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!" XD

[glesbianupland]

[inserts a put that thing back where it came from or so help me gif from monsters inc in regards to the new twitter like tumblr dashboard]

[jezabatlovesbats]

The highlights from our Monsters, Inc. reaction:

Me when I contributed to another person’s video: “I’m in this one! I’m in this one!”

Randall, Randall, Randall!

Mike talking to Roz about the paperwork is basically me when I forget to do anything.

How do the folders have pictures of the kids? Why do they cover the windows while they’re scaring?

I explained the Fargo reference to my brother.

Leaving the door open is the worst mistake any employee could make. Doesn’t Sulley know that?

The Greek letters in MU and the food at Harryhausen’s in MI implies the existence of monster world Greece and monster world Japan.

My youngest brother joined in this time.

Sulley has a dad bod.

Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me deserves, like, 10 Tonys. Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Leading Actor…

George does not like the cone of shame.

”Oh, Mike, I’m a horrible cousin’s sister’s daughter’s relative!”

So, when Mike started jumping on Boo’s bed, I guess he realized by that time that she wasn’t toxic. How supportive of him.

At the part when Sulley scared Boo by mistake in the sim, I said, “So, does Mike shake his head no or do the twist?”

We started our reaction yesterday and finished it tonight, so I was like, “Last time on Monsters Inc., Michael and James discovered the dastardly plot just beneath them, and were banished to a frozen wasteland! (epic anime-style intro)”

My brother proposed that Mike went down the mountain by tucking and rolling.

I’d have Randall for a roommate.

Me, in a Mickey Mouse voice: “I’ll kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die! Ha ha!”

Randall wouldn’t tip his waitresses.

I’d like to see a Twisted Tales book for Monsters Inc. where the scenario is something like, “What if the monster world ran out of power?”

I love the idea of Boo drawing herself a monster sona when she gets older.

I wish they played the bloopers over the credits…
