#it’s bobs burgers I don’t even watch that show but I’ve watched this clip like 80 times

the belcher family headcanons

(i just started rewatching the show. i haven’t seen past s6 so don’t spoil too important things. but i’ve also seen lots of clips from later episodes, some full later episodes, and the movie).

they are all autistic; with tina, gene, and linda being the most obvious while bob and louise being less obvious. linda’s diagnosed while bob isn’t (he’s in denial of even being autistic), and they’re working on getting their kids diagnosed (though they cannot afford it, so it’s not a priority for them).

bob doesn’t believe he’s autistic (internalized ableism) but he is acutely aware that there is something ‘wrong’/‘off’/different about himself from others. both bob and tina share that same insecurity that everyone else can tell that they don’t quite belong.

this is based off of one line from an episode, but while gene loves doing filthy things (eating tacos on toilet, eating mold, etc.), he cannot stand the sweatiness of hands or the feel of his bare feet on the floor. he washes his hands consistently and he always wears socks. linda carries baby wipes, hand sanitizer, and extra socks for gene in her purse because of one really bad experience.

one of the belcher parents is hispanic. i’m saying bob because gayle gives off eccentric white woman energy. but gene learns all the spanish inappropriate words and bobs like “gene i don’t even know spanish what-”

tina ends up starting an elaborate friend-fiction and fan fiction business in her school. she makes a lot of money writing romantic hypotheticals for her classmates. louise becomes her sales manager (and gets andy and ollie to make fanart for the fics) and gene makes little jingles for them as well.

gene gets dizzy when he watches fireworks for too long due to his sensitivity towards bright, flashing lights. the forth of july and new years eve are difficult for him because he loves the celebration aspect, but has to go inside to prevent himself from panicking. usually bob goes inside afterwards to talk to him and calm him down since bob used to act similar as a kid.

tina and linda both do the dinosaur arms, and linda, gene, and louise do the hand flaps and happy claps. louise and bob both chew on their shirts when they’re stressed (and then immediately changing their shirts because wrinkly, wet t-shirt is an uncomfortable feeling/texture).

this one is based off of a convention panel, but louise is really good at math but doesn’t apply herself at all because she thinks school is pointless. either that or she is really good at learning languages and that she can speak spanish, french, russian, german, swedish, portugeuse, and japanese— all at varying levels of fluency and all learned during different time periods of her life.

^^also based on that same convention, but tina learns taichi martial arts because she thinks it’s cool. she originally does it because of the cute instructor, but then she realizes how nice of an outlet it is.

linda’s the only straight, non-LGBT+ belcher (or is she??) and she is very much like “aww my little babies going to their first pride! love is love, alright!” like the lovable, just cringy, supportive parents are. when the kids come out, none of them know the proper terminology. it’s like: “i’m not a boy! or a girl! i am everything! i’m collecting all of the pronouns like pokemon” or “i would very much like to date multiple people, that way i can admire all the butts.”

during pride month, bob puts up a little bisexual flag as a partial coming out, a partial way to create a safe space, and a partial rainbow capitalist move (something something mr. fischoeder threatens to raise their rent, and the belchers need a break financially), and he tells the kids to get business for the restaurant— the kids interpret that as: gene makes a really bad song like “boys are hot, i like them. gay people. love is love. buy our burgers cuz the gays are great and we support them very much” (or basically that one tiktok audio that goes “fortnite, balls, i’m gay, i like boys, i kidnap autistic kids”), tina puts posters up around school that say “buy one bob’s burger dish, get homosexual validation from an adult who supports gay youth” (which confuses bob when a bunch of children buy burgers and then rub their snotty noses into his apron and suffocate him while muttering “i haven’t had a parental hug in years”), and louise guilt trips and gaslights the elderly into buying from the restaurant or else they’re homophobic assholes (some of them openly are homophobic, to which louise purposely shoves/trips them in response).

^^bob ends up scolding the kids but they make a huge profit. the kids also didn’t technically say anything that wasn’t really true (except for louise but yk). bob pawns the comforting children to linda, who hugs and validates the children while bob grills.

tina definitely watches those magical girl animes like sailor moon. gene watches cartoons and slice of life anime. louise watches studio ghibli movies religiously and her favorite is my neighbor totoro (that green night light thing (kuchi kopi) is def based off of totoro). she also loves death note and definitely supports light and/or L to an uncomfortable degree.

tina is a massive taylor swift fan. her favorite album is fearless and her favorite songs are fifteen, hey stephen, love story, and white horse. she knows all of the lore and will make random references like “this is why you don’t miss someone’s birthday. have you even heard all too well? the moment I knew?” she compares jimmy jr. to romeo in love story and stephen in hey stephen even though she has no competition for him. she’s definitely dramatically slid down her door screaming the lyrics to enchanted before. (jimmy jr. would probably like john mayers music b/c of his dad, and that is tina’s biggest ick about him).

gene vaguely likes red and 1989 (specially sparks fly, new romantics, bejeweled, and starlight) and louise says her favorite album is reputation but it’s actually folklore (specially i did something bad, the last great american dynasty, karma, and peace).

they used to have a christmas tradition for the kids where they can get whatever they can carry in their arms. they stopped doing this after one year where all the kids got the most expensive items ever for no reason.

gene is a zodiac kid who definitely says “venus is in retrograde” and “you’re such a gemini.” louise always makes comments like “of course you’re one of those star losers.” he’s also like “tina, you’re a libra and jimmy jr. is a leo— that’s completely incompatible. the stars don’t lie!”

in a comic it mentions that tina has blue eyes, and the show mentions gene and bob having brown eyes, so i think linda has blue eyes and louise has brown eyes.

gene had a horrific musical theater phase. he learned burn and candy store on his keyboard. in high school he signs up for the theater program. he was one of the few amab people who signed up, so he got a fair amount of leading roles.

the kids full names are: tina ruth belcher, eugene nicholas belcher, and louise ann belcher.

gene doesn’t go to college, instead he pulls a bo burnham (minus the bigotry) and performs musical comedy.

louise takes online college courses to become a business major with a minor in culinary arts so she could run the restaurant.

tina goes to college to become an author. she writes both smutty romance books (pen name is dina capulet maybe?) and childrens pony books (real name of tina belcher) but by different names.

not belcher specific, but their town is the most neurodivergent town in existence: all five of the belchers, teddy, gayle, courtney, jimmy jr, zeke, andy and ollie, just to name a few.

PatB Nova Ch 6

Ch 6: Eccentricity

AN: Loved some of the PatB shorts more than others (You know my eternal hatred for THAT one). But that’s a story for another day. I’m sticking to the 90s versions of these characters though. For now. I might have a gander at the reboot versions someday. You never know!

Ch 6 FFN Link

April 22, 2015! Narf! You’ll never guess what happened, Mickey Mouse. I met the Brain! Well, I’ve only known him for about four months, or less than two days, depending on how you wanna look at it, but if anything happened to him, I would make myself watch Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender!

Tomorrow, I’m going to the mall and buying a hat. Can’t root for Farfignetown (I have to ask her how she spells her name!) at the Derby without a super fancy hat!

Love,

Pinky.

PS: Tell Minnie I said hi!  

o-o-o-o-o

Pinky stepped back to admire his handiwork, the tip of his blue glitter gel pen pressing under his chin as he leaned against it. He did his best to copy Brain’s messages, but he was probably gonna have to write only the first letters only in the future. He didn’t want to take up the entire calendar page again.

His ears twitched at a scraping sound behind him. The sparkly gel smeared against his fur as he turned around, leaving a blue streak across his chest. Egad, if he continued to cover himself in the stuff, he’d look just like one of the Blue Men!

Brain pushed a heavy textbook across the counter, finally stopping underneath a light panel on the ceiling. Then he flipped it open, climbed up, and began to read.

It wasn’t the same book he’d started reading after they’d shaken hands to seal their new friendship either.

“Whatcha reading, Brain?” Pinky asked, slinging the gel pen over his shoulder. “I thought you were reading about jeans! So, find anything good? I think I like the flare type best. Skinny jeans make me chafe.”

“I have no idea what you’re blathering about, Pinky,” Brain said, not looking up from the page he was on. His head shifted from side to side as he read on, and Pinky imagined a giant, fluffy marshmallow making the same movements.

His stomach growled, and a marshmallow dinner sounded heavenly. With cheese fondue and rainbow sprinkles and a light dollop of whipped cream on top…

Wait, no, no. The kitchen didn’t have Gruyere cheese! Processed American cheese wouldn’t provide that proper creamy texture at all.

What kind of host was he? Unable to serve proper cheese fondue to his alien guest?

Then Brain hopped off the book, growling to himself as he pushed up on the hard cover and the few pages he turned. The pages slid into place, but he wasn’t tall enough to get the cover to close the entire way.  

“Do you need help, Brain?” Pinky asked. He dropped the gel pen and grasped the cover’s edge, but Brain smacked him sharply on the wrist, forcing Pinky to let go. Pinky flicked his wrist, and the sting quickly disappeared.

“Don’t patronize me! I can get it myself!” Brain snarled. He pushed on the cover again, and it rose a couple inches in the air, only to land against his fingertips. He growled and spread his feet, jumping as he pushed on the cover once more. This time, the cover slammed into the pages with a heavy thud. “Your sources of information are woefully lacking with your livable yet rudimentary conditions. Penumbra had a much better database, and it’s been dilapidated for a long time.”

Pinky had no idea what dilapidated was. Probably something to do with laps though.

“Oh, well if you need more reading material, I’ve got just the thing!” Pinky said, motioning for Brain to follow him over to a tiny side table where all the magazines were stacked. “Let’s see, we’ve got Vogue, National Geographic, Reader’s Digest…ah, here we are! This one’s my favorite out of all the Zoobooks! Lots of pretty horses to look at. Zort!”

Pinky thumbed through the magazine until he found his favorite page, which had gorgeous art of a white horse running on grassy hills. “This one’s my favorite,” he said as he pressed the magazine into Brain’s hands. Brain nearly went cross-eyed just trying to look at it, but he held out his hands and pushed the pages back until they weren’t so close to his face. “I named her Pharfignewton after Pharfignewton! Isn’t her mane just the flowiest thing you’ve ever seen?”

“Including or excluding your mind in that comparison?” Brain asked. He closed the magazine and set it on top of the stack. “Your choice of reading material is peculiar, but I suppose brushing up on this planet’s ecology wouldn’t hurt.”

Pinky grinned. “If you think those are good, remind me to show you David Attenborough’s work sometime! His documentaries are amazing!”

Brain tilted his head, his antennae bobbing with the motion. “You’ve mentioned someone named Pharfignewton multiple times. An acquaintance of yours?”

“She’s not a quail, Brain. She’s a horse, of course!” Pinky laughed at his little rhyme. “Oh right, I’ve never showed you pictures of her, have I? Where are my manners? Anyway, I left them in the cage. It’s right this way! Or left this way. I can never tell which.”

Pinky ran back to the cage and squeezed through the bars, Brain trailing behind at a much slower pace. As Pinky slid his right leg through the bars, he realized just how dirty the cage was. There was a small puddle by the water bottle, and straw was scattered all over the place. Crumbs littered the floor around the food bowl, and his wheel had a stain shaped like a pomegranate.

It just wouldn’t do at all!

“Sorry for the mess!” Pinky called to Brain, who was watching him curiously from outside the cage. “I didn’t know I’d be having a visitor today!”

But Brain didn’t seem to care about the mess. Instead, he prodded the locked cage door.  

“Nicholas and Mr. Button, you’ve gotta wake up and help me clean!” Pinky said, shaking them frantically from where they were tucked into the straw. “Narf, you two were up talking late again, weren’t you?”

They were too asleep to respond though.

“Okay, well, I’ll let you sleep for now, but tomorrow I’ll be going over proper cagesitting behavior with both of you,” Pinky sighed. He carefully rolled up the photo of Pharfignewton he kept near the straw bed, hugging it close to his body as he slipped through the bars again.

“Pinky, those are inanimate objects,” Brain said, bending a paper clip until it was completely straight. He poked one of the sharp ends and winced.  “They won’t respond to you.”

“They’re real life objects, Brain. They’re not animated,” Pinky said. “Whatcha doing with that paper clip?”

Brain pressed his ear against the cage door, carefully maneuvering the paper clip into the lock. It slipped a quarter of the way in before Brain yanked it out again, his eyes darting around the room as if something would swoop down on them.

When nothing happened, he went back to inserting the paper clip. “Nothing to disable here. There’s no alarm system on the door,” Brain said, turning to Pinky. “I thought you were squeezing through the bars to avoid triggering it.”

“I’ve never had an alarm before. Do you think I should get one?” Pinky asked. “Just so nobody tries to burger my wheel or water bottle? Hmm, what would a burger with those ingredients even taste like? Not very appetizing, probably.”

Brain only stared at him, the paper clip almost slipping from his hand in surprise. “Don’t tell me the only reason you haven’t used the door is because you can’t unlock it.”

Pinky nodded. “Okay. I won’t tell you the only reason I haven’t used the door is because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to unlock it.”

Shaking his head in dismay, Brain reinserted the bent paper clip until it was halfway in, then turned it clockwise (or was it counterclockwise? Pinky always got them mixed up).

“There,” he said, letting the door swing open. “Now you can enter and exit as you please like a civilized mos.”

“Egad, that’s brilliant!” Pinky stepped inside the cage, then back out. In and out again, and again, and he almost started dancing the Hokey Pokey, which would’ve been a whole lot of fun, but Brain still hadn’t seen Pharfignewton’s photo!

Now that was a real tongue twister there!

“This is Pharfignewton, Brain! Isn’t she pretty?” Pinky asked, pressing the photo into Brain’s hands.

The photo had been taken two weeks ago, when her owner had hired a professional to photograph Pharfignewton as she sprinted around the field. Pharfignewton had given Pinky her personal favorite, one that showed her hooves flying through the air and her gorgeous mane streaming in the sunlight. She was having the time of her life, and she couldn’t have picked a better photo to give him.

“There’s certainly an uncanny resemblance,” Brain admitted. “And the size discrepancy between you and her is incredibly blatant. Not to mention the species difference.”

Pinky crossed his arms. “Oh, don’t be so intolerant, Brain. She’s big cause she’s a horse, and I’m small cause I’m a mouse. But we make it work.”

Pharfignewton would be gone for the next two months, possibly more when she achieved the Triple Crown. It would be lonely, but he could manage.

“You mentioned she was far away when I interrogated you.” Brain set the photo down, smoothing out a corner though it didn’t have any wrinkles.

“She’s still on the road to the Derby, I think. Can’t really get in touch with her though. Phones are kinda tricky with hooves, you know.” Pinky said. “She’s wanted the Triple Crown her entire life. So that’s why I gotta make a giant hat and root for her when she races!”

“I don’t understand how a hat factors into all this,” Brain said.

“Zort! I dunno,” Pinky shrugged. “You can’t have a Derby without horses, hats, and My Old Kentucky Home. Otherwise it wouldn’t be much of a Derby then, would it?”

Brain folded his arms. “I’m currently debating if I should take your words at face value or not. Your customs make no sense whatsoever.”

Pinky thought they made perfect sense, and cents, and all of the five senses really, but his stomach growled and that thought was soon forgotten. Brain never had Earth food before, had he?

Definitely a job for a genetically altered Earth mouse to show him the ropes!  

But first, Pinky had to clean the gel off his fur. It was starting to clump into spikes, and that wouldn’t do at all.

o-o-o-o-o

Pinky rinsed himself in the sink, sticking out his tongue to lap up some of the cool water as it trickled out of the faucet. Thankfully, the gel hadn’t settled into his fur and was very easy to wash away. And flicking the water around the sink with his tail was loads of fun too!

Brain stayed on the outer rim, pulling on the stopper and handles by the sink out of curiosity. He edged closer to the stream of water, almost touching it with a gloved hand, but decided against it. But he wouldn’t stop staring at it either, like he’d never seen water in his life.

Maybe he hadn’t?

The moon was made of cheese and not water after all. Water would make the cheese all soggy and mushy and wash away the cheesy taste that made cheese so delicious.

“C’mon, Brain! Poit!” Pinky pushed his fingers together, trying to send a squirt of water up to Brain, though it missed his nose by a mile and landed on a small crumb on the slope of the sink instead. “The water’s just fine!”

“I’ll have to decline your offer, Pinky,” Brain said. “My information about water is rather lacking, and I’d rather not cover myself in a substance without knowing more.”

“I guess water would leave the moon cheese not very tasty to eat, huh?” Pinky asked. He braced himself and shot out of the tiny waterfall, and he was very glad for all the focus he’d put into leg exercises recently, because his running start was enough to get him over the rim on his first try. “Well, all you need to know is that water is wet, it splishy-splashes all over the place, and it’s fun to play Marco Polo in!”

Brain didn’t look convinced though. He removed one of his black gloves and touched a puddle, rubbing the water between his fingers curiously.

Pinky turned off the water, then dried himself off with a fluffy towel. He double checked his chest to make sure the gel was completely gone and patted down his fur.

“This way, Brain!” Pinky called, jumping off the counter and onto a spinny chair. The seat twirled around for a bit, making him slightly dizzy, but it was all in jolly good fun. Brain carefully climbed down, gripping the drawer handles and moving slowly. He slipped on the last handle and landed awkwardly on his right leg. He grimaced for a moment, his nose scrunching up rather adorably. “Blueberry bagels and cream cheese, here we come!”

“Your sustenance on Terra, I assume?” Brain asked. He followed Pinky through a corridor and into the kitchen, his large head turning every which way to take in all the sights of ACME Lab. Now that it was daytime, there were more colors than just shadowy blue. Pinky wondered if Brain would try to name the colors he saw. Pinky tried once, but there were just too many pretty colors streaming in from the window pane above.

“They aren’t consonants, Brain. They’re delicious and all, but they wouldn’t fit with the alphabet. A little bit of a mouthful, don’t you think? Poit!” Pinky climbed up the cherry-print towel hanging on the refrigerator door like he’d done a million times before. He braced himself against the fridge door, pressed his legs against the handle, and pushed with all his might, feeling that familiar strain of his stomach muscles.

The door opened with a satisfying pop. Breathing heavily, Pinky tumbled more than he climbed down the towel, landing on the cold floor of the refrigerator.

“S-surely there has to be a more e-efficient way to open a door than your method.” Brain’s teeth chattered together, his ears flattening to avoid the sudden chill. He took a few steps away from the open fridge, his arms folded in front of his chest. “Is it a-always this cold?”

“Oh, I haven’t even opened up the freezer! If you think this is cold, you’ll really feel like a mousesicle in there! But it’s worth it if you wanna get to the strawberry ice cream with the cute little mini spoons! Maybe some other time though. Right now, it’s important to get a daily serving of cheese!” Pinky exclaimed as he pushed two small tubs of cream cheese from a middle shelf. They each landed on the floor with a thud, and Pinky jumped down and retrieved them, closing the fridge door behind him with his foot.

Brain sighed in relief as soon as the door was closed, his arms dropping to his sides.

“They keep the blueberry bagels by the bagel warmer,” Pinky said as he led Brain out of the kitchen and into a room that had been marked with a yellow and black caution sign. The bagels were so delicious they even had to warn everyone to take caution! “Oh, now that’s a tongue twister. Blueberry bagels by the bagel warmer. Boobelly beige by the baguette warmer...oh, that’s a toughie. I’ll work on it.”

The bagel warmer was an oddly shaped toaster, with lots of wires and bulbs sticking out along the sides and top. It even had a conveyor belt running through it, but Pinky thought it made this toaster really unique among toasters. Why, he’d even been toasted in this toaster himself! Though it wasn’t as much fun as crispy pieces of bread made it seem. He just remembered a lot of smoke and electricity. And there’d been a lot of narf inside too.

Pinky set the tubs of cream cheese on the floor, then climbed up to the conveyor belt, which was propped on metallic cylinders.

“This is so much easier with two mice!” Pinky crowed. He peered down at Brain, who curiously poked at a red wire on the floor. “I don’t mind eating bagels by themselves, but there’s something about toasty bagels that just warms the heart!”

“If they’re truly that delectable, I suppose there’s no harm in trying it,” Brain replied.

“Did your file thingies say anything about Earth food?” Pinky asked. Because Brain sure didn’t seem to know much about tasty things.

Brain shook his head. “The Selenians didn’t bother with information about the lifestyles or cuisine of Terrans. It was irrelevant to their cause.”

Oh. Pinky tried to imagine being an alien who didn’t know anything about cheese, but came up blank. He’d eaten cheese and food pellets his entire life. He couldn’t imagine a world without them.

“Pinky, are you aware that machine is also apparently a gene splicer?” Brain asked, pointing to the letters along the side.

ACME GENE SPLICER AND BAGEL WARMER, it said.

“So it does. But the only things that go in are bagels and lab mice. Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone try to splice a pair of jeans. Oh, that reminds me!” Pinky snapped his fingers. How could he have forgotten something so very important? The silly machine was on the gene splicer setting! Pinky pressed a conveniently labeled button that said ‘press here for bagel warmer setting’. How nice of the scientists to label their stuff!

He was so glad he discovered that before sending the bagels through. The gene splicer setting would’ve made the bagels extra crispy, and while Pinky didn’t mind, extra crispy bagels were a taste one had to get used to first. Nope, it was better to start Brain off lightly!

“Can you please get two blueberry bagels from the bag, Brain?” Pinky pointed to a bottom cabinet where the bagels were kept, grinning at the new tongue twister he’d come with. Egad, he was good at this! “They’re the tan circles with a hole and blue specks in them! Kinda like a donut, except without the frosting and sprinkles. Zort, Brain! You’ve never eaten donuts, have you? Oh, I am definitely making a list of foods you need to try!”

Pinky hopped onto a tall table and neatly tore a paper towel off its roll, then laid it flat on the conveyor belt. Following Pinky’s instructions, Brain retrieved two bagels from the cabinet and passed them up to Pinky. Brain still seemed rather confused about the gene splicer and the bagel warmer being one and the same. Pinky carefully separated each bagel so that he had four half-bagels with the inside lying face-up and arranged them on the paper towel so they would all be nice and toasty.      

Then Pinky realized he’d forgotten another thing. Namely, that he didn’t know how to turn the bagel warmer on.

He scratched his head.

That could be a real issue.

“Pinky, do you actually know how to work this machine?” Brain’s voice sounded oddly strained. Pinky turned around. Brain was hanging onto the side of the conveyor belt, his legs wrapped around one of the metal cylinders. He’d tried to climb up himself, but his arms were too short to get a proper grip, and if he leaned over anymore, he’d fall right on his chubby head.

Pinky reached over, grasping Brain’s wrists and trying to haul him up, only for Brain to be resistant to help. He wouldn’t budge, his wrists feeling oddly tense under Pinky’s hands. His pink eyes were wide and apprehensive, pointed ears flattening against his head.

“Brain?” Pinky said. “I’m just gonna haul you up. Could you relax a bit please? It’ll be much easier.”

Brain didn’t move for a second, searching Pinky’s eyes warily. Pinky just gave him an encouraging smile. Brain looked away, his brow furrowing, but some of the tension left his wrists.

Pinky pulled him onto the railing of the conveyor belt, Brain’s feet scrabbling in the air briefly before settling firmly on the metal.

“Thanks,” Brain muttered. He walked over to the various buttons and levers, examining each one curiously.  

“You’re welcome, Brain!” Pinky brought one hand to his forehead in a salute, only to remember that Brain was an honest-to-goodness alien, and probably didn’t know that particular gesture. So Pinky tried to make the Vulcan salute instead, but it was kinda tricky with only four fingers instead of five.

“This is very intriguing,” Brain breathed, pressing his face against a small closed window that offered a look into the gears and wires within the bagel warmer. “Yes, pure lithium power source, proton accelerators, and automatic anti-inertia capabilities? The use of nanoplasmic charges leaves a lot to be desired of course, but to have the rest of these things in one machine at your fingertips…”

Pinky didn’t understand anything Brain just said, but the alien’s fingers were twitching in excitement, his nose smushed against the glass. It was the first genuine smile Pinky had seen from the alien since they first met, and Pinky thought it looked really good on him. Even nicer than the jumpsuit, which was already really fashionable. “If you figure out how to turn it on, that would be really great!” Pinky grinned. Brain pulled down on a nearby lever, and the conveyor belt began to move. “Egad, brilliant!”

“The lever was labeled, Pinky.” Brain waved him off, pointing to the word ‘on’ stenciled next to him. But his head tilted up and his chest puffed out too. He seemed to like that word a lot. “Wait, you figured out the machine was on the wrong setting, but you can’t turn it on?”

Pinky shrugged. “It’s not really my type, Brain.”

“Never mind,” Brain sighed, the tips of his ears turning as red as his nose. He turned back to the machine window. “I want to observe this process.”  

“Me too!” Pinky exclaimed, and he hopped over to the window, smushing his nose against it just as the bagels were swept into the machine. Blue electricity sparked and jumped all around the metal structures inside, and the glass warmed beneath Pinky’s hands.

It was a beautiful sight, and Pinky licked his lips as the bagels crisped from the heat.

Beside him, Brain watched the electricity intently, murmuring a bunch of smart words Pinky didn’t understand, but definitely enjoying the show too.

Within several minutes, the bagels gained an extremely nice golden brown crisp, and the conveyor belt moved them out of the bagel warmer. Brain pulled the lever up and the conveyor belt stopped moving, the thrum of the machine beneath their feet slowly fading away.

They weaved around long, multicolored wires as they made their way to the other side, where the bagels awaited them.

“Troz! Looks positively dee-lish!” Pinky exclaimed, poking at one of the bagels. Firm and flaky, just how they were supposed to be. His mouth watered in anticipation.

“The scent alone is quite appealing,” Brain agreed, taking several sniffs of the bagels. “I’ve never smelled anything like this before.”

Pinky grinned at him. “Oh, just you wait, Brain! The real magic is just starting!”

Sliding down the cylinders, Pinky retrieved the two cream cheese tubs they’d left on the floor and passed them up to Brain one at a time. His lower leg strength had improved a lot in the past few months, and it was easy for him to hang on while he passed the tubs up.

“Show-off,” Brain grumbled as he took hold of the second tub.

Pinky just laughed as he fetched two plastic knives from a drawer and carted them back to Brain and the bagels.

“Here you go! Bon appetit!” Pinky said. He gave one of the plastic knives to Brain, who gingerly ran his finger across the toothed edge as he examined the flat, see-through handle. “Oh, be careful with those, Brain. You don’t wanna cut yourself.”

“Not to worry, Pinky,” Brain said. “We have knives on New Selene. But I’ve never seen one with this particular material before. And much duller too.”

Pinky peeled away the cover of a cream cheese tub, drooling over the gorgeous smooth white surface inside. Brain copied him with the other tub, pulling off the cover completely. The alien took off his gloves and sniffed the cream cheese a few times, swiping one fingertip through the cream cheese. Then he tasted it.

Brain’s eyes widened immediately, his antennae perking up. He licked cream cheese off his fingertip four more times before he realized Pinky was watching him. Brain ducked his head and fiddled with his sleeves.

“That was…even better than I anticipated,” Brain admitted, his voice full of wonder.

“Aw, you don’t have to be embarrassed if you like it, Brain. I’m glad you think so, cause blueberry bagels and cream cheese is my favorite. Well, so are food pellets. And marshmallows, especially the puffy kind. And smiley face lollipops and…poit! I have a lot of favorites, it’s so hard to choose just one! Zounds, mac n’cheese too! You really need to try mac’n cheese, Brain! That one’s definitely going on the list. Anyway, if you think the cream cheese alone is good, try this!”

Pinky dipped the knife into the cream cheese. Once he got a good coating, he spread it across the surface of the bagel, took the largest chomp of the combined food he could manage, then swallowed. It went down a little rough, but it was delicious all the same.

“Scrumptious!” Pinky exclaimed. “It’s like a party in your mouth!”

Brain copied his actions again, and while he preferred to rip off chunks of the bagel and slather cream cheese onto smaller pieces, his enjoyment of the food wasn’t any less than Pinky’s. He made some funny ‘mmm’ noises in the back of his throat, his eyes closed in bliss as he worked his way through the first half-bagel.

Pinky started on his second half, licking cream cheese off his lips. This was a nice way to spend the evening.

“Brain, you’re welcome to share my cage if you’d like,” Pinky offered. “Mi cage es tu cage, you know.”

“Are you sure, Pinky?” Brain swallowed, thumping his fist against his throat to make the bagel go down. “I know we’re in a mutual partnership, but I wouldn’t want to impose in your living space.”

“You’re not imposing,” Pinky said. “Besides, plenty of unmarried people share living spaces these days.”

Brain was silent. He continued spreading cream cheese across a small portion of bagel, even though it was completely slathered at this point.

“Snowball and I were in neighboring cages. Aisam had to be housed alone because of their inclination towards territorial aggression. We had separate quarters for the journey to Terra as well.” Brain nibbled on a corner of his bagel. “Point being, I’ve never shared a cage before.”

“Sharing is caring,” Pinky smiled, finishing the last of his bagel. “Besides, it’s one more new experience for both of us. Isn’t that just dandy? I just hope Mr. Button and Nicholas didn’t leave too much a mess.”

“Very well. But we’re moving that sponge bed I slept on last night into your cage. It was much less aggravating for my back than the usual fare,” Brain said. “So…thanks for that, Pinky.”

“You’re welcome, Brain,” Pinky replied, rubbing circles into his belly, his hunger satisfied.

Beside him, Brain seemed satisfied too. And there was nothing better in all the world than sharing blueberry bagels and cream cheese with a new alien friend.

AN: OK this one’s more of a breather chapter since the last 5 were like wham bam nonstop stuff for the characters. Sorry it took so long to get this one out. Next chapter will have Pinky finally getting his hat and Brain’s first mall excursion!

I think these recent messages beg the question, is it possible for a sitcom to be both long-running and consistent in quality? 

Friends ran for 236 episodes over 10 seasons (238 if you count the hour-long clip show special that only aired once). The 8th season was originally supposed to be the last one, but the ratings jumped up so much during that season, they renewed for season 9. Then of course season 9 was supposed to be the last season, until NBC realized they didn’t have another show strong enough to take Friends’ place, and they negotiated a season 10. 

Watching the show and knowing all this, yes, I think you can definitely say the show suffered some. There is no real reason for Ross and Rachel to not get back together after Emma was born at the end of season 8. There are a number of season 9 episodes that required a large suspension of disbelief. And then of course there’s the whole Joey/Rachel storyline built up over several episodes only to be dropped abruptly because its main purpose is stalling the Ross/Rachel reunion in the finale. 

And yet, I can’t really say it would have been better if season 8 was the last season. Those ratings jumped up because the September 11 attacks happened just a few weeks before the season premiere. People wanted to watch something light and comforting. I think it’s okay to decide you’re not ready to let go of something yet, that maybe sometimes it’s okay to just give the audience what they want even if it interferes a little with the original plan. Besides, it’s not like the final seasons are unwatchable. And just look at all the iconic moments we would have missed (Ross’s tan being a big one).

Bob’s Burgers is currently at 206 episodes over 11 seasons and it’s been renewed through season 13. At this rate, it will beat out Friends. Plus it’s getting a movie. Obviously since it’s animated, I think this is an easier feat. You’re not running on the same clock. You don’t have to worry about the actors physically aging on camera. If I watched The Simpsons or Family Guy I’d make the comparison there, but I don’t. I think my feelings are similar though. 

Is Bob’s Burgers as good as it was in earlier seasons? No. Do I want to see it canceled now? Also no. But would I be heartbroken if they decided season 13 is the last season? Again, no. I guess all of this is just to say that I’ve accepted it for what it is. That maybe a show can’t be on the air for 10+ years and maintain the same energy, but it can still be worth watching.

What are some of your fave shows?

Hi!  Oh, the indecision that paralyzed me over this ask!  Because I watch a fair amount and I’ve loved a great many shows and trying to think of them all is so difficult!  So, this is going to be missing some major faves and I’m just going to have to live with that.  ^_~ TEN EIGHT SHOWS I LOVED, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: - Hannibal is that moody atmospheric show that I loved without irony, but also whole-heartedly flung myself into the batshit/ironic fandom (and the serious parts of fandom, too) and it was just sort of an inexplicable fever dream how we ever got that show but also the characters’ chemistry really just sold me on it.  I don’t even know how to explain my love for it, really, I just do. - Highlander is one of those shows that I imprinted on as a wee thing and somehow it’s stuck with me over the years, even as horrible as that ending that never happened was.  This was a show where I latched onto the dynamic of the first season hard and there was this thriving fandom that was available for it (and already well established by the time I got to it, so there was so much for me to read!) and I loved Richie’s character a lot, and it’s one of those childhood loves + gen found family tropes that lets me keep going back to the fic even to this day.  (It helps that the Duncan/Tessa + Richie fic was pretty phenomenal and so much of it really, really holds up.) - Scrubs is a show that I don’t know if I could watch it again (I find Cougar Town by the same writer/producer more rewatchable) but certainly was a phenomena when I first watched it, there was something truly special about that show.  I think, ultimately, it just got to be too long in the tooth and I came to greatly dislike that J.D. took far too long to grow the hell up, but every so often I still get sucked back into watching YouTube clips of it and fall down the rabbit hole again because it really was just that strong. - F*R*I*E*N*D*S is a show I recently rewatched almost the entirety of (I skipped a lot of the first season) and I don’t know if it was nostalgia from when I was younger or if it really was just that good (the chemistry of the cast really was just off the charts good) but I fell in love with it all over again.  It’s one of those comfort shows I can always go back to. - Bob’s Burgers took me awhile to warm up to, I wasn’t a fan of the animation style, I wasn’t a fan of the “quirky” humor, I wasn’t a fan of male actors voicing female characters in what seemed like it could have gone very, very wrong, but this show really charmed its way into my heart.  It’s weird, but it’s deeply caring and cheerfully embraces the wackiness of its characters as being great.  The strangeness of them isn’t a put down, instead it’s about celebrating why these weird, happy people are truly good people and it’s a good thing that they’re out there living their best lives. - Adventure Time is another show that took me awhile to warm up to, the first season doesn’t really have its footing and seemed very juvenile to me.  But it was popular at the time, so I gave it another shot, watched a few more episodes, and it grew on me.  And grew on me and grew on me, until I was utterly in love.  It’s so strange and yet I love the worldbuilding of it, in this post-apocalyptic world they’ve built, and there was a point later in the series, whenever the mythology arc would start up again, that I would literally end every episode asking myself, out loud, “....what the fuck did I just watch?”  It’s another show that had the deftness to pull off the weirdness, but also came across as genuinely caring and all these weird people were actually pretty great. - The Good Fight is one I love a lot, too, and I really miss having it around.  The Good Wife probably would have been in this slot, because it really was incredible when it first came out, but I was so exhausted by the end of it and so tired of everything being just miserable and nothing about the show was much fun anymore, that it faded a lot of my love for it.  But TGF has all of the energy and a newness to it that the show needed, and it seems to really trying to tackle commentary on social issues (while still being a TV show) with a lot of care and I appreciate that. - Avatar: The Last Airbender and probably The Legend of Korra as well, both were really important to me in how they actually put noticeably non-white characters into them and that meant a lot for me to see another step towards this being normalized.  But also it was just a really genuinely good show with genuinely good characters and really did a lot of things right, including excellent worldbuilding and a gripping story and characters I still love.  If any show deserves a revival, this one does! Honestly, I’m kind of at a loss after this.  I wouldn’t even say this is really an accurate reflection of my favorite shows, just that the combination of “but I’ve watched so many??” + “I can’t remember all of them off the top of my head!” + “but what does favorite mean, how do I balance what I thought was objectively good vs what meant a lot to me personally?” has me thrown for too much of a loop.

Music: I know it’s the thing now to use your spotify gift wrapped whatnot as your end of year music run-through, but as an oldie who still uses last.fm and has always noticed a discrepancy between what last.fm says and what spotify says I decided to do my yearly retrospective anyway. Spotify also has this thing of recording what my kids listen to even though I make them put it on private. In years past that meant I would have things like the PJ Masks theme song on my top 100 songs list. Now it’s a bunch of EDM and video game themes lol. At least last.fm excludes them for me.

Most of my top 8 albums aren’t exactly strangers to you, except maybe 070 Shake who you should totally check out.

As far as other pop-culture …

Books: I took a Children’s Literature class so a lot of what I read was middle grade books, but that little addition of taking that class made it so this was the year I read the most books since I started keeping track on goodreads. My year in review. My two favs tho were the two Six of Crows books by Leigh Bardugo

TV and Movies: Early on in the pandemic I took to Disney+ and rewatched some of Darkwing Duck and then went through a list of top 100 episodes of The Simpsons which I wasn’t allowed to watch as a kid and only had minimal knowledge of it going in. I also finally watched Avatar the Last Airbender and loved it. HBO’s Betty was pretty great as was Prime’s Upload and the Saved By the Bell reboot on Peacock. But overall the show I fell in love with this year and finally gave my full attention was Bob’s Burgers. I admit, I only had a vague knowledge of this show based on gifs and clips from the internet, but decided this was the year to dive in. And guess what … it’s my favorite show now.

Without the ability to go to the movies, I can’t say I’ve really enjoyed any movie so much that it deserves to go on my list. I’m not a big movie watcher anyway and so taking away that theater aspect of it has made me even less interested. Buuut … a movie I did love and watched that wasn’t from 2020 but I did get through was Your Name. an anime from 2016.

Personal: I know it’s been a terrible year for most everyone (except maybe the obscenely rich) but this year was the first year I had health problems (beyond migraines). I don’t want to go into the details of it bc honestly in the scheme of things it’s not terrible, but I had a back problem, went to a chiropractor who then made it a back and neck problem, so now I’m going to physical therapy for a bulging disc in my neck and can no longer do physical things like lifting or most cleaning. A plus … bc of this I finally got a roomba. I also had stomach problems bad enough that doctors kept misdiagnosing until I found out I have gastritis. I’ve lost 20 lbs bc I can’t eat rich things anymore or drink. That last one has been hard. I’m not a heavy drinker but I did enjoy my glasses of wine on the weekend. They don’t know what’s causing it or caused it (all tests came back negative) so I’m stuck with this diet for the foreseeable future. 

I should be thankful that overall my family has been fine and able to survive the pandemic and fuck yeah, Trump lost!! So at least there’s that. And I came back to tumblr more often this year bc as a site that caters to fandom it was the best escape from the real world imho

Here’s hoping 2021 is better for all of us.

Episode Recap of "A Duggar Bachelor Pad" First Aired July 21, 2☠️2☠️

"Jessa and Ben go on their first road trip with three kids, hoping they don't lose any kids along the way. Some of the Duggars go to the Bahamas to help after a hurricane. Jed and Jere show off their bachelor pad. The family competes in a corn maze race." And Jim Bob forces the producers to insert flashback clips of 19 Kids and Counting on too many occasions. He thinks he still has something to teach the world beyond how to be a hypocrite.

1. Some Duggars go to the Bahamas to help after a hurricane. They help to manage supplies and clean up. Not mentioned is the trouble they had dealing with other groups and John wearing a gun and flashing his Arkansas badge at others. It wasn't all feeding people and cleaning up for the Duggars in the Bahamas. They've got some weird stuff going on in the background. Jessa and Ben pack up the kids to drive to Kansas City to visit friends. Of course this leads to flashbacks of the old 19 Kids show. Jim Bob is working hard to get those old shows back into repeats. The Seewalds stop to go rotten apple picking with their friends and then visit the zoo where we get to watch Hank trying to make his escape. That one is a runner. More flashbacks on how Jim Bob and Michelle used the buddy system to keep their kids from escaping. Baby Felicity is learning to swim in LA. More flashbacks follow of 19 Kids showing the Duggar kids jumping into a dirty horse trough. Jinger, Jessa, Joy and Joe claim to be poor swimmers. Maybe it's because they were forced to learn in full length skirts and jeans. Felicity is not a fan of freezing cold pool water but she'll get there.

2. The twins, Jed and Jeer, have moved into a bachelor pad. What they don't tell you is they only did this so Jed could run for state rep. He had to live in the district he's running in. Jim Bob pretends that all his kids can move out after they turn 18. That's funny since none of them do unless they get married or run for office. These kids don't leave because of the spiritual abuse and financial abuse. They are tied to Jim Bob in too many sick ways. John did live at Big Sandy from time to time to teach flight training but never officially moved out of the house until Abbie. For some reason the twins are sharing a bedroom even though there is another bedroom in the house. I'm sure Jim Bob ordered this as a way to keep them accountable to each other. You know, to keep the whacking the monkey stuff to a minimum or from wanting to sneak girls or boys in. Like Jed couldn't lock Jeer in a closet for an hour or so. Anyway, this episode doesn't make Jed's run for office any more appealing to the voters. I just need to know why they have so many electrical cords running under their beds. What kind of toys are they charging under there? Joe and Josiah visit and bring dirty lawn chairs and a toy and Jed decides to cook them burgers because it's "manly". I sense a little manly insecurity here. Josiah and Joe end up taking over the cooking. The twins claim they can't cook because they don't have wives to teach them yet. Idiots! All those years of HOMEschooling and they never took HOME ec. They also say once they're married they can't split the utility bill anymore which means no wife of there's is going to work or have any of her own money. Beware girls! Run like Marjorie Jackson and all of the girls the Bates boys court.

3. The Duggars gather together to reenact the last scene of The Shining. They all break into teams and time themselves running through a corn maze. Of course Jessa and Ben won. How do they always win? Maybe it's due to all their practice from chasing a runaway Hank. Jim Bob mocks what he thinks is a Liberal attitude by saying "We're all winners." and everyone laughs, boos or thumbs down him and I think Jessa says, "We don't do that." They don't like the idea that kids get prizes for participating or get encouragement when they lose. Actually, it's not a Liberal idea, it's a humane idea when applied to children. I'm all for teaching children to compete and to win and lose gracefully. I'm also for encouraging children and awarding them for their efforts and participation. The Duggars are all about, too bad for trying, go jump in a horse trough. I really wish the Duggars could get an education beyond their conservative upbringings. They really need to try to understand other people's point of views beyond their bubble. They don't need to accept it but they should hear others out.

And then another surprise flashback episode occurs after this episode. All 19 Kids and Counting clips from back before the Duggar scandals. I won't recap it but if you want to watch it it's hilarious how they cut Josh out. They run the camera down the line of kids several times and just as they get to Josh, the shot changes. Jill is shown in the flashback episode but they own her image so she doesn't really have a choice. I guess she could do something really horrible and then get edited out Josh style. They talk about buying cheap clothes and used shoes and hypocritically taking trips in a huge very expensive tour bus. You know, all things early Duggar. I advise them to check out the YouTube channel, The Crazy Middles. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzVxzz60KHq5Bgqf1zqoocg This family has 20 children, 18 adopted through foster care. They feel it's important for the kids to get the clothes that makes them feel good. So often it's name brand new clothes. This is one of the most loving and happy families that I've ever seen and the older kids leave the house at 18, if they chose to, and are doing very well building their own lives in various types of jobs and one of their sons is gay! TLC, give these amazing people a show! But you won't. They're too normal.

944.

Any cool small businesses in your area? >> There are a lot of small businesses in this area. The ones I tend to patronise are food-oriented and I usually find them through the farmer’s market -- like People’s Cider Company and Sacred Springs Kombucha and Donut Garden.

If you use libraries, what is the largest overdue fine you've ever had? >> The last time I had an outstanding fine, I was still in NYC. I think the worst fine I had was for Queens Library, it was a couple hundred dollars. I don’t remember what actually happened to the books I’d borrowed but I’m pretty sure they got lost somehow when I was being ping-ponged from shelter to shelter.

Do you ever borrow things other than books from the library? >> Not anymore, but I used to borrow CDs a lot.

Are there still any movie rental places left where you live? >> Yeah, there’s a Family Video right down the street from me.

Do you ever buy secondhand books (or DVDs, video games, CDs)? Or do you prefer them to be brand new? >> If I can find a book I want secondhand, then you’re damn skippy I’m buying it secondhand. And I hope to god a previous owner wrote in it because I love finding other people’s margin scribblings in books.

Have you seen the version of The Addams Family with Tim Curry as Gomez? >> I have not. But, related, I just rewatched Addams Family Values today, which I looooove.

What was the last TV show you were hooked on? >> The last TV show I got into is Lovecraft Country.

Have you ever started a book and never finished it? >> Plenty of times. Usually because the book turns out to be boring to me.

Do you have a favorite drummer? Who? >> No.

What about a favorite guitarist? Who? >> No.

Do you ever write fanfic? Of what? >> I... well, I used to. I mean, I still want to, I still think of it as part of my identity, but I haven’t been able to think of anything worth writing in quite a while now. I usually write for video game fandoms (like Dragon Age, Fallout, that sort of thing), although I’ve written a few things for shows and movies too.

Do you ever READ fanfic? Of what? >> I don’t usually read it, unless someone I know on tumblr wrote it or something (and I have to at least be somewhat familiar with the fandom).

Do you have a favorite poet? >> I don’t think so.

How many members are in the last band you listened to? >> I don’t remember the last band I listened to, but the last thing I listened to was my Release Radar playlist on Spotify, so there’s a high likelihood I don’t even know the last band I listened to.

Do you have a favorite classical composer? >> Funny you should mention that, because I just saved two “getting started with classical music”-type playlists on Spotify so I can listen to them later (when it’s not, you know, almost my bedtime lol). I want to figure out what my particular style is. Like, I love Lacrimosa, for example -- I want more songs like that, and also songs that just fuck you up with stringed instruments. I have to figure out which composers tend to make which kinds of songs and shit.

Do you ever accidentally clip your toenails too short and they hurt? >> No.

Have you ever had multicolored/rainbow hair? If not, would you ever want it? >> I’ve never had it. I don’t think I’d go for that, white/grey hair is more my style these days.

What kind of hats, if any, do you like to wear? >> Beanies.

Have you ever thought somebody was cute but no longer found them attractive once you got to know them better? What specifically about them turned you off? >> I don’t think so. I mean, maybe, but I just don’t remember any situation like that.

Have you ever thought somebody was plain-looking, but found them attractive once you got to know them better? What specifically about them made them so beautiful? >> Likewise, I wouldn’t remember a situation like this, either.

What is your #1 dealbreaker with friendships? (Why you wouldn't be friends) >> I don’t know what my “#1 dealbreaker” would be. I’m just really discerning about the kinds of people I even would allow close enough for friendship.

Who is your favorite character on Bob's Burgers and why? (If you watch it) >> Louise. Because she’s a clever wicked bastard and I love her.

What songs do you never get tired of? >> Oh, I don’t know.

Have you ever had a retro celebrity crush? Like a crush on an "old" celebrity who was most famous a long time ago or is long dead? >> Yeah, I’ve had a crush on James Stewart since I was literally like 10 years old.

Before buying something in a store, do you look online to see if you can get it cheaper there? >> Not usually. Especially since I know a search like that will put me face to face with Amazon for the zillionth time and I’m fucking sick of Amazon.

What type of things do you prefer to purchase online? >> I don’t know that I have a preference for online purchasing. It’s usually a matter of efficiency or convenience.

Are you interested in fashion? >> Yeah, I think the whole industry is just really interesting and intricate, particularly haute couture.

Do you prefer beef or chicken tacos? >> Meh.

Have you ever tried fish tacos? How were they? >> I love fish tacos.

Have you ever worn leather (or imitation leather) pants? >> No.

What part of your body seems to get cold the most? >> I’m not sure. My problem is usually being too hot, not too cold.

What do you like better, pants or shorts? >> Pants. I wear shorts sometimes in the summer because of the heat, but I don’t enjoy it.

Have you ever wished you had a different eye color? >> Yeah.

Do you know anybody with two different colored eyes? >> No.

Any cool small businesses in your area? So many. Metro Manila is generally quite a small area so it opens up a lot of room for small businesses to thrive and not be eaten up by bigger companies. People in my age group are also more likely to check out small businesses, so it’s served as fuel for more and more to pop up. My favorite would be the bar that my college friends and I regularly went to before lockdown, it’s called Tomato Kick but we all call it TK. I also used to go to this shop called The Common Room that sold all sorts of stickers, stationery, knickknacks, plants, oils, etc. but unfortunately they’ve permanently closed due to the pandemic :(

If you use libraries, what is the largest overdue fine you've ever had? Something like ₱300-₱400. The overdue fine in my school was like ₱2/day though, so do the math and you’ll figure out just how long I didn’t return my books loooool, it was pretty much unreturned for the entire school year. I’ll never forget how surprised the librarian looked when she computed my total fees lol.

Do you ever borrow things other than books from the library? I don’t think so. I definitely should have made the most of our college’s library though - they let us borrow old and classic films, and I just never availed of those services.

Are there still any movie rental places left where you live? No, pretty sure everyone here is all over Netflix now.

Do you ever buy secondhand books (or DVDs, video games, CDs)? Or do you prefer them to be brand new? Of course. The smell of a brand new book is always nice, but it’s SO satisfying to see something you really like at a secondhand goods shop and see that it costs 1/3 or 1/4 its original price. I’ve had awesome finds at used book stores.

Have you seen the version of The Addams Family with Tim Curry as Gomez? No, I’ve never seen any versions of it.

What was the last TV show you were hooked on? THE CROWNNNNN. I haven’t been able to continue it for around a month now because I’ve been stressed and depressed, but goddamn is it a good show.

Have you ever started a book and never finished it? So many times. I have more unfinished books than ones I was able to read all the way through.

Do you have a favorite drummer? Who? I don’t have a favorite but watching Whiplash did get me so amazed by Buddy Rich.

What about a favorite guitarist? Who? No favorite either, but I’m biased towards Lita Ford’s guitar work with The Runaways. 

Do you ever write fanfic? Of what? I used to write them when I was 12...they were all very bad. I’m cringing just thinking back to it lmao. That was the one venture I needed to try to know I wasn’t cut out for fiction writing.

Do you ever READ fanfic? Of what? Tons. I mostly read ones of my wrestling ships, especially CM Punk and AJ Lee back when they were a couple on-screen.

Do you have a favorite poet? Not into poetry, so I don’t have a favorite. I do love my girlfriend’s poems though. She gets poetry bursts very rarely but when she pens one, they are always very nice to read.

How many members are in the last band you listened to? Three at the moment. They used to have five, then three, then two, then one, then now three.

Do you have a favorite classical composer? I do not.

Do you ever accidentally clip your toenails too short and they hurt? Just a couple of times, but it’s a big reason why I stopped trying to cut them too short.

Have you ever had multicolored/rainbow hair? If not, would you ever want it? No, and no. I’m okay with dyeing my hair but I really prefer to have it in just one color.

What kind of hats, if any, do you like to wear? Beanies, caps, and sun hats.

Have you ever thought somebody was cute but no longer found them attractive once you got to know them better? What specifically about them turned you off? This is gonna be such a mean thing to say now considering the circumstances lol but I remember when my friends and I were all still new applicants for our org, we found Nacho super attractive (he really was, objectively speaking) but he was always too awkward when at a table with us and initially came off as a lousy conversation-er. I specifically remember how that turned me and Jo off. Now I miss him a lot and would do anything to see that mug again.

Have you ever thought somebody was plain-looking, but found them attractive once you got to know them better? What specifically about them made them so beautiful? It’s happened here and there. A common trait of them all is that they’re all very good speakers and are able to speak their mind eloquently and intelligently, especially when standing up for their opinion or beliefs.

What is your #1 dealbreaker with friendships? (Why you wouldn't be friends) Betrayal of trust.

Who is your favorite character on Bob's Burgers and why? (If you watch it) I don’t watch it.

What songs do you never get tired of? Paramore’s ;)

Have you ever had a retro celebrity crush? Like a crush on an "old" celebrity who was most famous a long time ago or is long dead? Lol yes, a bunch of them...anyone who’s followed me for a while would know. I’m really into Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Grace Kelly, Joan Crawford, Olivia de Havilland, Greta Garbo, Cary Grant, and Gregory Peck.

Before buying something in a store, do you look online to see if you can get it cheaper there? Not usually. I don’t shop online, so.

What type of things do you prefer to purchase online? It’s not a question of the type of thing I’m buying, but if I’m purchasing something online it’s largely because I don’t have anyone to buy it with at a physical store at the moment, and I hate going to the mall by myself.

Are you interested in fashion? Not so much. I keep up with the trends in my age group and like being updated with new shoe lines from my favorite brands and such, but I don’t watch fashion shows or know the name of all models.

Do you prefer beef or chicken tacos? I don’t really like tacos, period. I don’t even know what’s the standard meat in them...I guess I’ll go with beef, I know I love them in my burritos.

Have you ever tried fish tacos? How were they? I haven’t. I dunno how to feel about it honestly; my Filipino palate’s only ever had fish in stews, with rice, or in sushi. But I know it’s popular in other parts of the world so I guess fish tacos are good too.

Have you ever worn leather (or imitation leather) pants? No. That sounds highly uncomfortable, and I’m just reminded of that episode of Friends where Ross wore leather pants as part of his new year’s resolution lol.

What part of your body seems to get cold the most? I normally don’t feel cold in certain parts of my body. If I’m cold, my entire body is.

What do you like better, pants or shorts? Shorts. Pants are only nice if they’re high-waisted mom jeans, but in this climate I mostly find them uncomfortable covering my entire legs.

Have you ever wished you had a different eye color? Sometimes, but through the years I’ve learned to embrace my dark brown eyes.

Do you know anybody with two different colored eyes? Yes.

GOOD THINGS FOR APRIL 12TH, 2019: I wound up being late with these because Star Wars Celebration is happening and that’s really sucked up what free time I have!  In honor of that, have some Star Wars fun things!

Day 1 Live Stream of Star Wars Celebration all in one place.  While there’s not a ton of new info or announcements, the big news was the teaser trailer, it was still fun to watch a bunch of it!

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker teaser trailer!  I have to hand it to SW, I fully expected to watch the teaser trailer and feel nothing, the ST isn’t really my jam, or even to outright hate it.  And I’m still fully convinced that TROS is going to RUIN STAR WARS FOREVER, but goddamn that was an excellent teaser trailer.  Everyone LOOKS SO GOOD, the locations look fantastic, and THAT ENDING, the fandom has absolutely exploded and it’s been amazing, I HAVEN’T HAD THIS MUCH FUN AS A SW FAN IN A LONG TIME.

Kelly Marie Tran and JJ Abrams interview.  The three best things about the IX panel were: THE TEASER TRAILER, the concept art shots, and having KMT come out and get a standing ovation.  To have that carried through when she goes out for her The Star Wars Show interview, that they’re still cheering for her, after all that she faced, was incredible and wonderful and heart-warming to see.

Star Wars - Jedi: Fallen Order trailer!  Oh, even if they mess up my Jedi babes and the Jedi lore/philosophy, even if I’m disappointed by having yet another white dude as the lead character (assuming we don’t have character customization/creation), I’m still going to sob my way through this game and all the feelings it’ll give me.  Also, INQUISITORS OMG.

Star Wars - Vader Immortal trailer!  If nothing else, I at least want a playthrough of this because Maya Rudolph’s droid looks delightful and I want to know the story!

More Galaxy of Adventures shorts!  :D   R2-D2 - A Pilot's Best Friend,  Han Solo vs. the Space Slug, and Darth Vader vs. the Rebel Fleet.  All a bunch of fun with some really cool animation--those shots of the flames reflected in Vader’s lenses was especially incredible.

GOOD THINGS FOR APRIL 13TH, 2019:

Fruits Basket episode 2!  I haven’t finished it yet (I’m watching it as I gif the hell out of it) but I’ve been enjoying the new anime so much, I love that it has a different feel from the first anime (which I still love very much), that there’s a heavier feeling here, you can tell how the show is much, much more aware of the characters’ upcoming arcs, how so many things are hanging over their heads, in a way that I really like.  It’s not adding a lot of necessarily new stuff, but it’s really enjoyable to see it in lovely animation and to get to experience the story all over again, knowing how it comes out and so enjoying the journey on the way there.

Sharp Objects is a show that I’ve been meaning to watch for awhile, since I read the book a few years back (and I think it’s probably my favorite of Gillian Flynn’s books--or maybe the one that frustrated me the least) and I was wondering how the TV adaptation went.  I’m only one episode in so far, but I’m enjoying it a lot.  I’m really glad they aged Amma up and so far the actors are all doing a really great job and I’m rolling around in my love of complicated, messy, not always nice female characters.

My comfort shows having new episodes!  Bob’s Burgers!  Buzzfeed Unsolved - The Unexplained Murder of Bugsy Siegel! Killing Eve! The Good Fight! My Little Pony!  And Game of Thrones is finally coming back!

GOOD THINGS FOR APRIL 14TH, 2019:

I got sucked into listening to a bunch of Paul F.  Tompkins routines clips, after having been away from the comedy scene for awhile, and was DELIGHTED by a bunch of them!  Some favorites were:      The Sink & The Mirror      Cake v. Pie      Learning To Brush      Go Ask Alice      Magic Castle      Peanut Brittle

I have sugar free lemon candies from the dollar store and they are D E L I C I O U S omg.  The peppermint ones are pretty good as well, but the lemon drop ones are the best thing ever.

Love Nikki still makes me really happy.  ♥  And Shining Nikki looks really cool and I hope there’s an English version someday.

Previous Chapter

First chapter

Camille couldn't breathe and she was afraid she was going to piss herself. It wasn't healthy to laugh this hard while wearing Spanx. She had to give him credit. Tom had really come through on the costumes. Cher's idea to go as Bob's burgers was fucking brilliant. She and Cody were Linda and Bob with Nick as Gene. Lucy was oddly sexy as Louise, but Tom dressed up as Tina was what had her in stitches.

“I am a smart, strong, sensual woman” Tom even had the voice down.

“Stop, seriously I can't do this right now. The knee socks. I can't” Camille couldn't stop laughing.

“Camille, we need to get your hair put on” Lucy, bunny ears and all, pulled her up the stairs with Tom following behind. Camille wasn't a part of the Bob's Burgers bunch. Instead she and her boss teamed up as characters from Steven Universe. Stephen was going as Steven, and Camille as Rose Quartz. Lucy helped her get into her big fluffy pink and white strapless dress. The three of them then went to work on her hair. Two separate clip in pieces attached to give her volume and long flowing pink ringlets. Between the dress and the hair she looked a bit like a drag queen coming out of a wedding cake all tits and pink curls. Camille even had to admit she looked cute.

It was a little after 9 PM. They were determined not to be the first group there so they hung out for a bit catching a pre party buzz. A round of shots and a blunt. Camille was elated she was finally feeling healthy again. She was absolutely mortified she'd gotten sick in front of Harry. He'd been an angel. Not only did he get her home and to bed, for the second time, he'd taken her notes and handled the party details until Ashton came home. Tonight was the first time she'd see Harry since that day.

She hadn't really gotten to see any of the boys since they got back from Europe. The exception being Calum who had come by the morning after he'd given her the gifts to make sure she didn't need anything else. She'd stayed wrapped in her blankets hiding her face. He'd lounged on the opposite side of her bed, at her strictly enforced distance, telling her about the tour and how he'd found each of her gifts. Camille winced remembering the torture of having Calum on her bed and not being able to touch him. They carefully avoided any serious discussion talking mostly about places they'd traveled. Camille kept asking him questions about places they'd both visited. Only while Calum toured in person Camille had only explored through books. He'd stayed for about an hour before Camille started to get sleepy again. Getting up to leave he'd turned and pounced on her. Scooping her into his arms he'd buried his face in her blankets under her chin. Camille couldn't resist reaching her fingers out to stroke his neck and his jawline. The many nights she'd fantasized were nothing compared to Calum being right here. She was glad she was swaddled up so he couldn't hear her heartbeat pounding or see how flushed she was getting. They lay there like that without a word before he'd kissed her between her eyes and left.

Cher almost lost it when she walked into the party and saw Harry dressed as Squidward. Tom REALLY came through on the costumes. Harry for his part openly whooped seeing the Belcher family.

“You guys look spectacular” Harry hugged her with four tentacles.

“No seriously that's something else” Cher stood back eyeing him. “Where's Spongebob?”

“He'll be here later. I'll have to introduce you.” He leaned in to whisper “ I heard a rumor you might be single.”

“I was always single” she whispered back.

Harry just nodded and winked at her “of course, I have to find someone but Calum and Luke are around here somewhere and I'm pretty sure I saw Ashton in the kitchen with the food”

Harry pulled Tom off with him somewhere into the crowd.

Cher caught sight of Luke and she elbowed Cody. “Check it out, it's Bat-Luke.”

Cody laughed and pointed out Calum dressed as Robin pacing back and forth “and his boy wonder.”

Cody watched as Nick and Lucy greeted Lucy's friends who'd shown up dressed as the Powerpuff Girls. He recognized one as the girl who'd hooked up with Ashton at the last party. He saw Cher's face and knew she'd recognized the girl as well. Cody made a note to keep track of this one.

Pulling Cher aside he nodded towards another party guest “Do you see who that is?”

Cher looked back and her jaw dropped “Cody is that really? Wait until Camille sees he's a person and not a salad.”

“Will you stop being stupid?” Cody hissed. “I found out he's got a new show and his costar just happens to be my ex.”

Just then Calum locked eyes with Cher and laughing hysterically he jogged over.

“Holy shit you look fucking incredible, all of you” Calum told them hugging Cher and Lucy nodding at Cody and Nick.“Although I'm never going to see Louise the same way again.” He glanced behind her. “Where's Camille?”

“I see how important we are to you Cal. Speaking of important where's the booze?” Cher teased him.

“In the kitchen. Hey do you know Luke invited uh, a guest?” Calum looked nervous

“I didn't, while I appreciate the heads up I'm fine with all of this, I promise” Cher told him. “Are you ok?”

“Yeah I'm just, fucking hell, ok so Ameena kept calling me earlier and when I finally answered” Calum suddenly stopped and Cher saw his eyes light up. She was positive she'd never seen anyone smile like that.

Camille had arrived. She'd had to wait for her boss and his girlfriend so she could bring them over, but also she liked to make an entrance.

“Camille you made it” Bat-Luke appeared at her side. “That costume is perfect. You look so pretty. Cal isn't ready for this.” His blue eyes twinkling behind his mask.

“Luke” she gasped and hugged him. “Oh I've missed you sweet boy. How is everything?”

“We'll talk later. There are other people who need to see you first” Luke gently grabbed her shoulders to turn her around where Calum was coming up. Camille caught sight of him in his costume and her butterflies were back in force.

Robin had never been a sexy character but hot damn Calum was making it work. The sleeves were super short allowing her to see every tattoo on his muscled arms. Her eyes dropped down sucking in her breath surprised at how sexy Calum's thighs looked in leggings. Realizing where her thoughts were headed she tried to focus back on his face only to blush at the intensity in his gaze. Between the bulge in his leggings and his expression Calum made no attempt to hide what he was thinking.

“Can you two please try to restrain yourselves a little” Michael and Crystal appeared breaking Camille out of her thoughts.

“Hi you guys” Camille hugged them both “oh my God y'all are the cutest ever. Wanda and Cosmo? That's too perfect.”

“I can't believe you came as Rose Quartz. It was made for you. You look great.” Michael told her.

“Who did your hair? I fucking love it.” Crystal reached out playing with the pink curls

“Tom and Lucy helped. They're clip ins. I'm lucky I got the hair first thing way before I got sick.” Camille told her glancing back towards Calum who was now talking to Cher and Cody but still looking at her.

“I hope you really like him” Camille turned back to her as Crystal spoke. “I'm not taking sides in this, but he's gone through a lot just to take a chance with you.”

“I didn't ask him to” Camille felt defensive but she couldn't pretend to be completely innocent in all of this.

“I don't think he had a choice” Crystal told her. “He fell for you pretty quickly.”

Camille shook her head. “I don't know about all that. He's still young. I'm not anything special.”

“To him you are.” Crystal replied. “So please be careful, he's been hurt enough lately.”

Camille felt her face get hot. She felt a little responsible for that. If she'd walked away from the start she could've saved Calum from some of this misery.

“Hey” Crystal nudged her “I'm not trying to make you feel bad Cam. Look how happy he is right now.” They both looked up and when Calum caught them looking he excused himself from Michael.

Calum shyly approached Camille. She had this effect on him sometimes where he got so nervous. He found himself intimidated by her, and she had no clue. Just like she'd never believe him if he told her how beautiful she was right now.

Taking her hand he raised it to his lips while bowing slightly “You look like a queen tonight, your grace.”

Camille could not breathe. How could this man be real? How could this possibly be happening?

“Thank you kind sir. Royal or drag?” Camille raised an eyebrow. She cursed herself for being sarcastic when he was being so sweet.

Until she saw his lips twitch up into that smart ass grin he'd perfected.

“A little of both really. The hair is really something else.” Calum replied.

Camille bit back her usual snark and instead planted a light kiss on his jaw just beneath his ear. “Thank you” she told him.

Cher watched them from across the room. They both looked completely smitten. She'd never seen Camille look happier.

“Yeah they're gorgeous but can we talk about how cute you are in those glasses Linda” Luke's voice startled Cher out of her reverie.

“Very funny Bat-Luke” Cher giggled.

“I brought you a drink” Bat-Luke held up a red solo cup that smelled of watermelon vodka and cranberry juice.

“Leave it to Ashton to steal Camille's recipe” Cher hated this awkwardness between them. Scanning the room she turned to him “I thought your new girlfriend was coming tonight.”

Bat-Luke took a sip of his drink “she's not my girlfriend just yet, but she's here already. Summer is Andy's assistant. She's taking photos tonight.”

“I'm sure she'll be thrilled you're talking to me” Cher quipped.

“She knows about you. I've been honest with everyone. Can I get credit for that at least?” Luke looked slightly irritated and a bit wounded.

“Luke, I don't want things to be weird between us.” Cher told him.

“Nothing has to be weird. Just two friends having a conversation dressed as two cartoon characters. Totally normal.” Luke winked at her.

“Check it out Spongebob and Patrick have arrived.” Cher pointed across the room where Harry was greeting his friends.

“Holy shit that's Liam and Niall” Luke choked out a laugh.

“Hey Foxy Mama, You smell kinda pretty. Wanna smell me? Hoohah!" Ashton abruptly joined them causing Cher to almost spill her drink laughing.

Ashton as Johnny Bravo was hilariously appropriate. He looked smoking hot in tight jeans and a tight black t shirt.

"I bet your name's Mickey, 'cause you're so fine. You're so fine you..."

“Ashton there you are” Camille came over to greet him with Calum in tow.

“Camille or should I say Rose” Ashton leaned in for a hug. “You look stunning sweetheart. Calum's a lucky guy”

Calum and Camille both blushed and looked at each other with adoration.

Ashton, Cher and Luke all exchanged little “awwww” glances.

The moment was interrupted by an alarm on Calum's phone suddenly going off drawing the attention of everyone around him.

“Is that your home alarm” Ashton peeked over his shoulder as he shut off the alarm.

“Yeah my back door is open.” Calum looked confused.

“You think someone broke in?” Cher asked him.

“Not so much as I'm worried Duke got out.” Calum shook his head still confused.

“What is it Calum?” Camille reached up to caress his face so he'd look at her.

“I have the weirdest feeling. I don't even remember setting the alarm” Calum kissed her hand before letting it drop. “I really do need to check on Duke.”

“Do you want me to come with you?” Camille asked.

“Yes, but if you do and I get you alone in my apartment we won't be coming back to this party.” Calum kissed her lips gently “I'll be right back I promise.”

Calum left and Ashton nudged Camille in the ribs “You two are so gross you know that. Too mushy for me.”

“Shut the fuck up Irwin” Camille shot him a smirk. “You should really show Cher where the booze is and bring me another drink.”

Ashton chuckled and bowed towards her “your grace”

He went to Cher and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"You look pretty...I look pretty...why don't we go into the kitchen get a drink and stare at each other? You can watch my chest hair move in slow motion.”

Cher was giggling as she followed Ashton. “don't get too drunk too early.” Camille called after her.

“Mommy doesn't get drunk, mommy has fun” Cher called back.

Camille made her way back to Luke. “Is that her?” She nodded towards a pretty dark haired girl holding a camera lingering on the edge of the crowd.

“Yes actually” Luke motioned her over. “This is Summer. She's Andy's assistant/apprentice.”

“You must be Camille” Summer extended her hand.

“What gave it away” Camille smiled at her.

“The pink hair and I saw you with Cal. He's mentioned you more than a few times.” Summer looked nervous until she glanced at Luke and Camille could see the spark. “I have to go find Andy. I'm so glad I got to finally meet you Camille.”  Summer disappeared back into the crowd.

“She's cute Luke and she seems very sweet” Camille nodded at him watching him relax.

“I wanted her to meet you first. She's more nervous about Cher.” Luke took another drink before cocking his head and laughing. “Check it out Camille it's your favorite rapper.”

Camille scrunched up her nose “You know I can't stand Drake. He's a total fuckboy and this is his fuckboy anthem.”

“You know all about them fuckboys don't you Camille.” The venom in the tone of voice made both Luke and Camille whiplash towards the sound eyes wide.

“Your little boyfriend Quentin? Diamond do you love me? Ajayani are you writing? I'm not surprised you couldn't keep him satisfied. If you think for one second just because you lost your man you can make a move on mine you'd better back off bitch.”

Have you seen the simpsons? do you like it? i personally not so much

Despite The Simpsons being one of those classic United States American adult cartoons, I’ll admit I’ve only watched a few clips of it here and there. I’ve never seen a full episode. I haven’t had the hankering to watch a full episode, given as I’m preoccupied going through a huge list of media I’d be more interested watching instead… but that said, I’d probably be interested to sit down and watch it, especially the earlier seasons, which I hear are better.

Basically… I have a casual interest to maybe check out the Simpsons, but it’s very casual and I can take or leave it.

But while I haven’t watched the Simpsons, I’ve watched Futurama, which is also created by Matt Groening. I hear it has a little different flavor of humor than the Simpsons, but of course those two naturally get compared. And I love Futurama. I’ve watched every episode of every season, even own some of the Futurama comic books! I think that show gets a good combination of prodding humor and emotional heart… I definitely cried during a few episodes when I binged the entire show in a month. There’s powerful heart in episodes like “The Luck of the Fryish,” in which Fry finds his nephew’s grave; while Futurama is full of comedy and satire and ridiculousness, it’s also got some sincere emotional content.

From what I know of The Simpsons, it also has that combination of elements - humor and heart. Right? And if that’s the case, there’s a fair potential I’d enjoy it. I don’t suspect it’d become a favorite show of mine that I’d watch on repeat, but I’d probably be casually entertained by it.

I often like to say that the best tragedies can make you laugh and the best comedies can make you cry. By exploring the full range of human emotions, we connect more. If a story is forever sad, it’s numbing, unpleasant, uncomfortable, and sometimes we respond to it by blocking ourselves off. We distance. On the flip side, if a story is only levity, then we also don’t full attach. There’s little to attach to. But by going through laughter and through tears, we ground ourselves deep, we become quite emotionally invested. The humorous points are more humorous because we know what it means to be sad; the sad points are more sad because we can remember the times we laughed.

Some sitcoms get this right. You find yourself laughing most of the time, but they throw in enough heart and touching moments that pull you in deeper. Most shows that do this are going to attract me at least a little, even if they don’t become favorites.

I suspect followers tend to think me as someone who draws toward more family-friendly animated shows than adult comedy. There is definitely a grain of truth in that - despite people calling adult shows “mature,” much of the time, they’re less mature with fewer meaningful points and fewer introspective lenses… they just have inappropriate jokes. That’s NOT every adult show out there but it does feel like it’s a lot. I like my stories filled with thought-provoking metaphor, characterization, well-written plot arcs, artistic expression, exploration into what it means to be human, complicated commentary about how we suffer or grow or interact with morality, uplifting messages about how to live, the like. Those sorts of messages are extremely deep and exciting and authentic and meaningful. I’d far more rather watch a story that respectfully handles characters growing through loss, than a show that irreverently tosses about a bunch of sex jokes or crosses the line into offensive social territory.

But. While I do have a preference for stories like ATLA and GF and VLD and FMAB, I will admit I have a side of me that enjoys animated adult comedy! I’m not going to say that all the jokes are things that should be joked about, and I will never endorse something that crosses the line, but I do enjoy a number of adult shows for the good enjoyable facets they have. They’re fun! I usually don’t dive into things that are too bold (I have no interest watching, for instance, South Park), and you’ll notice that the shows I like usually also have some heart too, but I’d watch things like the Simpsons! If you’re curious, I’ve watched and liked shows like Futurama, Archer, Bob’s Burgers, and BoJack Horseman. Currently finishing up BoJack Horseman Season 4 right now… good show with an extremely relatable, exploratively cynical side of human life.

TL;RD: I haven’t seen The Simpsons and I’m not hugely invested in chasing it down, given as I prefer other realms of animation more… but there’s a decent probability I’d get some enjoyment out of it, based upon other shows I’ve watched in a similar-ish vein.

I think family guy is really ugly, like it is styalized but its just ugly. Like they dont put any thought into colors or backgrounds or anything. Its the most generic of cartoon style and thats why there are so many clones now of it.

Art anon here. One more thing, i went from watching futurama to seeing a clip of family guy and i actually got angry at how lazy and formulaic their camera angles and backgrounds are.

it’s so true..

that’s actually part of why i don’t consider south park on the same level as family guy- if nothing else, they’re stylized an ENTIRELY different and unique way. the paper cut-out appearance is something that everyone can pretty uniformly identify as south park, while... if you take certain characters and draw them in family guy style, it’s... still difficult to tell what style you’re using.

like, i’ve seen a bunch of those “art style challenges” around, and i’ve noticed quite frequently that if you don’t use a pretty generic face while working with the family guy style (the main differences like... chin type, hair type, and appearance of lips), it looks Wrong and unfitting for the series.

like... did you see the episode where peter griffin meets homer simpson? they swap cartoon styles for a bit and it’s like..

tbh if i didn’t know the context to this picture i’d be hella confused who these mfers are. (and that’s kind of a commentary towards simpsons, too, but you can at least immediately tell one of the characters is IN simpsons style, while... the family guy style is very... ???? ? is that even a style?)

THOUGH i’m somewhat happy of the clones- there’s a in-episode joke that bob’s burgers is a simpsons/family guy clone, and i’m pretty glad that’s a show.

Column: Favorite Rap Mixtapes of August 2017

With a cascade of releases spewing from the likes of DatPiff, LiveMixtapes, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud, it can be difficult to keep up with the overbearing yet increasingly vital mixtape game. In this column, we aim to immerse ourselves in this hyper-prolific world and share our favorite releases each month. The focus will primarily be on rap mixtapes — loosely defined here as free (or sometimes free-to-stream) digital releases — but we’ll keep things loose enough to branch out if/when we feel it necessary. (Check out last month’s installment here.) --- YoungBoy Never Broke Again - AI YoungBoy [stream/download] There are a couple reasons that make me surprised that YoungBoy Never Broke Again (formerly NBA Youngboy) is only 17. First, he burst onto the national scene last year with a near fully-formed sense of melody and songcraft, the vanguard of a Baton Rouge youth movement with seemingly limitless potential. The other is that his life has aged him far beyond his years. The Baton Rouge set like guns, and not just for show; a recent New York Times profile reiterated the message underlying every co-sign from YoungBoy’s more-established peers: leave BR or perish. The comeback record after a prison stint is something of a rite of passage, and yet it’s impossible not to wonder how many more lie in YoungBoy’s future. If you’re looking for “real,” this is it: a promising young star racing against pre-fame charges and a time bomb of an environment that, as all that he’s known, is understandably difficult to abandon. –Corrigan B --- Deem Spencer - We Think We Alone [stream] Deem Spencer opened the final Yule Prog. At 22 years old, he might not realize how big of a deal that is. Shit, the world probably doesn’t realize how big of a deal that is. I may be the only person who thinks that’s a very big deal. But history will absolve me too, damn it! I digress. Deem Spencer proved he could rap his ass off with last year’s Sunflower, and his latest, We Think We Alone, is already something totally different. It’s the sound of a guard down, a garden, a gargantuan heart springing hope eternal. It’s really nice. –Samuel Diamond --- Wifisfuneral - Boy Who Cried Wolf [stream/download] Aesthetically, Wifisfuneral’s second record is standard Floridian fare — it wouldn’t even be a stretch to call it a composite of ideas that have emerged from the peninsula’s SoundCloud scene as of late, scampering across bars at Ski Mask the Slump God’s jawless clip, paving his way with Cris Dinero’s plosive kicks and a menacing presence more akin to a horror flick’s titular spiritual entity than a typical trap-villain. Boy Who Cried Wolf’s a conservative follow-up to the January release of When Hell Falls, an introspective dip into wonky boom-bap production, the sort that populated Pusha T’s King Push prelude, only more dreary and droned-out. This time around, Wifi’s brought bangers by the bushel, immolating synth bells with hypnotically-present bass while nimbly stuffing these brief beats full of triplet flows and the distinctive voices of his featured friends: 458 Keez’s bratty resemblance to Lil Wayne, Danny Towers’s impossibly deep snarl, and CHXPO’s slurred near-giggle, (my personal favorite contribution). This is Wifi’s last nuanced tape to date, but it’s also his most replayable. Even when the 20-year-old emcee’s borrowing sauce, he makes it his own: not many Soundcloud rappers can boast his balance between technical proficiency, artistic merit, and (most importantly?) headbang-inducing aggression. –Jude Noel --- Eli Sostre - Sleep is For The Week [stream/download] Putting together a mixtape of Billboard-quality pop rap in the OVOXO vein is risky these days, considering how many Drake soundalikes have seen their clout evaporate shortly after entering the scene. But Eli Sostre’s lightly-melodyned vocals pose way more of a risk to the competition. His songs are self-serious but not overly self-aware, confident but not mired in cliché. Hailing from the Empire State, he channels a double-cupping club vibe more suitable farther south, but takes heavy visual cues from Basquiat, The Culture’s adopted fallen angel and street spirit of a dead-and-buried NYC. Sostre has a radio-worthy voice, strongest on “New Addy” and “Someone Like You,” that’s complemented well by Soriano’s woozy, vaporous productions. Sleep is For The Week is a great collection of songs to snuggle into. –Ross Devlin --- Lil B - Black Ken [stream/download] Black Ken is the most divisive Lil B mixtape yet, which is odd, considering that its most accessible release, swinging between G-funk and horn-/key-driven P-Funk throwback with chilled hyphy sprinkles. While the latter can be heard on the iLoveMakonnen-featuring “Global,” songs like “Free Life” showcase Lil B’s evolution into tight, spaced-out production, with a flow not unlike “The Super Bowl Shuffle” played straight. Club-banger Lil B is present on “Getting Hot” and “Turn up (Till You Can’t),” playing more like singularly twisted versions of “the hits” than bids for mainstream attention. Did I mention that Lil B produced every track on the tape? (As he puts it on “The Real Is Back,” “BasedGod on the beats/ It’s 100% me/ Put my life in this rap.”) Despite its alienating potential, Black Ken, in the end, triumphs as an amalgamation of his past and a sampling of a possible future, and it’s one that would appear to be both expansive and impressive. –Emceegreg --- Gunplay - The Fix Tape [stream] Never one to be sullied or bogged down by rap label politics, Gunplay’s quiet tear across 2017 continues with The Fix Tape. True to form, anthemic trap abounds (“All flake and no shake, shake, shake…”), but the clincher here is an ability to slide through styles — see the G-funk bounce of “Where It At” or the classicist bent of “Hot Plate” and “Patience 2.0” — without compromising on the delivery and storytelling parlance that bought ears to him in the first place. This one’s sharp, polished, and remarkably poised; if Gunplay traded in the incendiary streak that gave us the likes of Bogota Rich: The Prequel, then he got a newfound sense of evenness and quality control in return. –Soe Jherwood --- Skye Verbs - Soul Food Eye Candy [stream] A few weeks back, I visited one of my favorite haunts for a curry burger and vermouth after a rewarding but tedious week of pulling artistic potential out of a bunch of squirmy middle schoolers. I floated in, grabbed a stool, paint under my nails, draped in a floral pullover sweater. Bartender, dripping with neck tattoos, looks me down, recognizes my face, offers: “I love that top, sweetie.” It was a bizarre, yet empowering moment; I don’t often get compliments on my appearance, so when I do, it’s uniquely affirming. Soul Food Eye Candy is rapper/singer Skye Verbs’s attempt at discussing inclusive values through neo-R&B and soul. There are a lot of platitudes here about who deserves who, but what she ultimately advocates is that good people deserve it all. And after a long day, it’s nice that I can throw this on, bob my head, and remember that still frame in which my value was affirmed by a wink. Check this out, know you’re worth it, and tip your wait staff extra when they make you feel it. –Jackson Scott --- Lil Tracy - Life of a Popstar [stream/download] Lil Tracy is the son of Digable Planets’ Butterfly and SWV’s Coko, a fact that almost assuredly means nothing to the majority of his fanbase. That’s OK. Of more immediate relevance is his association with Lil Peep, one of the SoundCloud era’s two or three biggest breakouts. Together with the rest of GothBoiClique, they’re the most straightforward example of the emo/rap analogy that has dominated the discourse surrounding rap’s youngest stars. For listeners who came of age at any time but the present, some degree of initial resistance is understandable; it’s been fascinating to watch the critic class balance a play count-mandated obligation to pay attention with the inability to form a personal connection with the music itself. At present, there’s no vision of rap’s future that excludes these kids; the ever-shortening generation gap aside, refusing to engage with a bona fide movement seeks to set the genre’s current conventions in stone. It’s already far too late for that, and yet rap’s hegemony over pop forms is just getting started. –Corrigan B --- Byou - I’m Gone [stream] The stylistic outlier of Lil Yachty’s “Sailing Team” collective happens to be the crew’s most consistently exciting contributor. Atlanta’s Byou boasts an unhinged vocal delivery, a knack for hook-writing, and a sense of doggerel humor that’s often laugh-out-loud humor. Although, sonically, his previous output hasn’t strayed far from his maritime mates’ bubblegum trap production, his longest effort to date — titled I’m Gone — revels in its own versatility. “Superstar” dabbles in bossa nova, “Money” throws back to the brass-laden hedonism of OJ Da Juiceman’s peak, and standout track “JK Rowling” pairs a twangy shuffle with one of the best choruses I’ve heard all year: “Smokin’ on that Harry Potter/ JK, rollin’ up.” It’s not one of more polished projects I’ve heard lately, but I’m Gone has charm for days. It’ll win you over if you let it. –Jude Noel --- Hotel - Have You Ever Tasted Hell Fire [stream] Hotel caught a lot of attention earlier this year when Mass Appeal posted his track “Hellbound.” Complete with illegible black metal script and a broken-in black metal denim jacket, with hot blood spurting from between his fronts and a black gun (I don’t know shit about guns. This is the best I got.), his latest mixtape Have You Tasted Hell Fire continues to document Hotel’s journey through a grim world. Maybe Hotel realizes what metal kids have known all along: that Satan has all the fun, that the baddest people throw the coolest parties, that embracing darkness and nihilism can be as equal parts kitschy and liberating as Kenny G saxing it up on an airplane. The tape is very short, with scorched, lo-fi samples and high-key energy that begs to be heard live. His voice is labored like a werewolf. “Four Rings” and “Gone” are pitch-perfect Piss Christ exhibitionism. He just finished a tour of the South, so you might be able to catch him before the hellfire swallows him up. –Ross Devlin --- Purple Dialect - Campfire EP [stream/download] Purple Dialect paid for his name in burnt hairs, the moniker coming to him in a shamanic vision he experienced while being electrocuted by his SP-404. At least, that’s what I gather from all this. He has bionic limbs and shoots rainbows from his eyes and raps “I’m in a folding chair, I’m eating graham crackers/ I’m in the woods, I’m a literal backpacker” in his latest video. This could all be dismissed as cheap gimmickry if Purp D weren’t so skilled on both the mic and the pads. “Take this L chief, peace cos I don’t even battle/ I just make dope beats over which I casually babble,” he says on “Tent Light,” as if it were so simple anyone could do it, as if this were a folk tradition. And it is. And a Pennsylvanian with robot arms is carrying it onward. –Samuel Diamond http://j.mp/2vGWK1m
