Early Days

Barry Allen x Liberty Michaelson (OC)

As part of the collab @chiwhorei has going on, I wrote up this little thing. Have barista Barry being his awkward nerdy self in front of the new cute girl in town.

Warnings: None!

Word count: 750

The smell of fresh coffee fills the establishment Liberty Michaelson finds herself in. She was far away from her home city of Gotham. Her mentor had sent her to Central City to scope out the city, see if there was anything of note. 

Barry Allen stands at the counter, pouring from a fresh pot of coffee. He then steams some milk and makes a little design in the previously ordered latte. “One french vanilla latte for…” he pauses, looking for the name. “Liberty?” He finishes. 

The cat's eyes scan the room to find where the voice was coming from. Her gaze falls on the barista. Grabbing her things, she makes her way towards the counter. 

Her mentor had left her with a credit card she could use for anything so she digs in her pocket for it. Liberty was never really that put together. Swiping it, the machine reads “Approved.”

Barry couldn’t help but take note of how pretty she is. Her long black hair framing her face just right. Those green eyes are almost piercing. He watches as she goes to a different part of the cafe to sit.

Liberty pulls her phone out and dials a quick number. “Hey… there’s really nothing of note here yet, but it seems like there will be one day. There’s a lab being built currently and maybe we could scope that out when it gets built?” She speaks into the phone.

The conversation lasts a while. Enough time for Barry to clock out. He grabs his usual. “Go and talk to her, Barry. You want to and it’s so painfully obvious.” One of his co-workers states. 

A quick nod from Barry is the only response the employee received. That’s when he makes his way over to the woman. He put his hands on the tall table. “So, hi. My name is Barry Allen and I am… really nervous.” He lightly laughs. 

The cat looks at the barista. Her green eyes sparkling in the lighting. “Liberty Michaelson.” She offers her hand. 

Barry accepts. “Do you mind if I?” He points to the chair in front of her.

“Oh no, go ahead.” 

He nods before taking his seat. He rubs his thighs before putting them flat on the table. “So, how’d you find yourself in Central City?” Barry questions. 

“How’d you know I was from out of town?” Liberty inquires herself.

“There aren’t really any girls like you that come around here.” 

She pushes a piece of hair behind her ear. Then she goes for her bag. It was covered in all sorts of pins and badges.

That’s when Barry takes a good look. He notices a familiar one. “Hey! Isn’t that from the new manga, Attack on Titan?” 

“It is! I’ve read all the issues that have come out so far. I personally like Armin so far. Kids got spunk.” 

“Armin is a good one. Eren I’m on the fence about. Erwin would probably have to be my favorite. Oh! Mikasa is so cool. I wonder what it’s like to swing from building to building.” Barry remarks.

Liberty almost chokes on her drink at the remark. She had some experience in that department.

“Are you okay?” Barry gently asks. 

“Yeah, went down the wrong pipe.” 

“You know, I was actually in an anime club in high school.” Barry states. 

“Really? That’s so cool. I was never in any clubs.” The thief responds.

“I was in quite a few. My favorite of them being theater.” 

“Oh so cute coffee guy can sing huh? Maybe while I’m in town, We can go try that karaoke bar down the street.” 

Liberty blushes when she realizes she had just propositioned the man that made her the drink she was currently sipping on. 

Barry, being nervous declines her offer, in favor of telling her how busy he is between the coffee shop and his schooling. 

“Ah, then maybe another time?” 

“Maybe, but for now, I need to get back on the grind, and I’m not just talking about the coffee beans.” He then cringes at himself.

Liberty thought it was pretty funny so to calm him down a bit she gives a smile and small laugh. “Well, it was nice meeting you Barry. Let’s hope our paths cross again.” She remarks, grabbing her belongings. 

Barry had turned his attention to his co-workers. When he turned back around, the woman was gone. Almost in a flash.

“What a woman.” Barry thinks to himself as he sips his own drink.

wow I didn’t think reblogging that tea post and then seeing people’s tags would deal me such strong psychic damage. come over I can fix you I can find a tea you will like. “I don’t like tea” how can you say that as a blanket statement when there are so many vastly different kinds of tea. head in hands

Noone talks about The Drummer and the princess movie enough and ESPECIALLY not about the people behind it. It puzzles me to this day.

Warning, extremely long post but i really wanna archive all this.

For those who don't know, in 2018 Angels Pictures released a teaser trailer( CZ EN) for this movie and it obviously looked shit for a movie made after 2000 ESPECIALLY when people were claiming it cost 80 million CZK to make (3.5 mil USD-ish) which is an insane amount of money for a czech production. Plus in the czech trailer they have an uber popular czech singer Karel Gott appear revealing he's voicing in it, they even have a super low res photo with him from the studio.

(honestly i'm pretty convinced they met him once for the recording of the trailer lines)

So allegedly 80 mil CZK 3D animated movie with a bunch of celebrities voicing in it! Wowza! Why does it look so shit? EDIT: CORRECTION! After going through some more documents this is in fact and estimate of how much they think the movie is going to cost- they seem very upset people get that wrong. But honestly I don't think anyone actually thought they spent that much money on it.

Immediatelly bunch of czech news websites started rolling out articles about it because obviously, it was ridiculous. It looked ass the trailer is pretty cringy and they have all that stupid self congratulatory bs about giving 4% of ticket sales to kids because its made for kids. With love♡ People are ridiculing the hell out of it, obviously, but then a rumour starts that it's a all a publicity stunt. Obviously noone would make something that looks this bad in the year of our lord 2018! Angels Pictures don't hesistate and start nodding their heads aggressivelly. They pat themselves on the back for coming up with this new cool marketing strategy they dubbed "The Spites and Envy Promo."

They post this stupid, self congratulatory post talking about how they actually intentionally made the teaser bad, saying they modified it with "minor technical imperfections" (MINOR??????? IMPERFECTIONS????). According to this interview some guy named Jeremy came up with this genius and "innovative" plot. But if you read the interview (in czech unfortunately) you'll also find out the teaser probably looks so bad because no, there isn't actually really a movie at this point! Which is insane, given they released the teaser in September and promised a winter release! They apparently work by recording the dub first and then animating for it. In the interview he says they have about 20% of that done. But whatever, they keep insisting it's all part of the plan dude! The movie is going to release in like 28 countries and it's gonna be huge. (if you speak czech i totally recommend reading that interview it is enlightening lmao) I don't need to tell you I think the "spite and envy" promo is a bunch of boloney because if you're looking to drum up views and popularity through controversy you don't turn off your youtube comments about it.

Back in 2018 I was having a riot following this and despite being convinced it is not going to come out, I was posed to see it day 1 in the theatre if indeed it did come out (afterall, they're giving 4% of ticket sales to kids ♡) They continued to flaunt their genius marketing strategy and even bragged their teaser became the most watched czech animated movie trailer on youtube! Which while true, it doesn't really mean anything, because they second most watched actually came out and made money, while The Drummer and The Princess entirely missed their initial release date with no explanation why! On their website the release year kept shiftin ever forward and in 2019 they added the "RIP Karel Gott" to the trailer, so I know you're out there GIVE ME MY MOVIE!

Spoiler alert, it's 2024 and we still don't have the damn movie! But ever since then I've been completely fascinated with these guys, so let me bring you towards the about us section of their website, because it's frankly hilarious. Meet Angels Pictures!

Starting with Alex Pieter you'll notice he proudly states he's the author of the "project" The drummer and the princess. The second thing he mentions is that he's a member of MENSA and makes sure to explain it is an association of people with high IQ because you wouldn't know anything about that. Underneath that he lists a bunch of things he did which really just reads like when you put literally ANYTHING you think is relevant and makes you look good on your CV, like that he cooperated with big names like Vin Diesel or Catherine Zeta-Jones or Gerard Depardieu. Generaly a bunch of jargon to try and make him look super cool.

There's also this guy but he's considerably less funny and really jsut looks like your regular marketing guy. He's not even in MENSA.

Back then I was still wondering whether this was all an elaborate joke, and I may even believe it if these two guys didn't sound like the most start up "trust me bro" marketing guys. That really marks the end of The Dummer and The Princess, but I'm not done with Angels Pictures quite yet! You see, I thought they got me all excited for this movie and then dipped but no, they were planning something even cooler.

A video game.

Honestly, you need to see it to believe it.

After seeing this, I genuinely started doubting myself again. Like this has got to be a joke right?? What in the mother of all asset flips...

It was supposed to be a VR experience (but also non VR) about .. uh.. well....... Flying aroung?? And there will be vampires.. and dragons?? Whatever they found on the asset store I assume. But not in the base game! You see, the clever MENSA head over at Angels Pictures came up with this new game monetization model called "Modular System". You buy the base game called "The Radix" and then you can buy additional packs such as "Oh, Look!" which adds interesting sights to this flying simulator (making me wonder what the base game even does have). Then we have "Vampires" which I supposed adds the Italian Vampire Palmira who does not believe in wearing pants. Also a bunch of other "modules" that add things to "duel with for treasures". Yay.

Those with a keen eye might notice this isn't actually entirely their idea, this has basically been The Sims 4 monetization scheme since literally forever, but as much as I hate to admit it, at least the sims actually like.... You know.. Gives you something? And isn't an asset flip. And ... exists. Oh yeah, spoiler alert, the No*1 game with the funniest flying object (whatever that means) never did come out, I know, we're all shocked an crushed about it. The actual website for the game went down (which is why I'm making this actually, everday I fear all of this will dissappear) but there's still stuff about the game on their company website such as;

The release Timeline. Lofty goals, per usual. I don't need to tell you none of that happened because if it did I wouldn't be writing this and I would instead be playing Magic Carpet game swith the Vampire and Space module.

Continuing the scroll we can find that they claim to be a studio of "roughly" (???) 30 artists.

Ah yes, nothing is quite as innovative as a VR asset flip game that gives vague description of what it's actually going to be about. Reminds me Dream World.

I don't know what kind of artists they are but whoever made that purple green logo should be fired promptly. Also as you can see they are still bragging about the huge success their marketing campaign was and using it to seem credible- never mentioning that the damn movie never came out. The kids are still waiting for their 4% (which btw they never quite mentioned what charities they are planning to give that to.)

Now let's check out Alex's updated profile for the game;

He's really come to his own since The Drummer and the princess. He's still a member of MENSA, a global association of people with high IQs, but I think it's adorable he updated his photo to be a picture of him holding a controller like he's a gamer girl on instagram. He's just like you, fellow gamers. He's a 3D artist now and an IT specialist and programmer! Is there something this handsome devil can't do?! though despite his newly acquired 3D art skills, the game somehow manages to look worse than the movie trailer.

I also wanna point to this, purely because I wanna archive it. "A game that simply isn't on the market" yeah but what is it ABOUT Alex???? It's honestly a hilarious read and a look into "the sicks brains on their team."

After all of that, what's the conclusion?? I dunno! I think these guys really missed their calling as MMORPG Fundraiser scammers, I think they really would have popped off with that. My theory currently is they try to set up these projects and websites and try to make themselves look as credible as possible to get investors for their stuff?? But I also cannot imagine it ever actually worked out? And obviously they never delivered on anything they promised so I just don't know! Besides they actually did work with Karel Gott and that's nothign to scoff at! I wish I could find out whether it was because they have an in with him or whether they paid him (if so, with what money? I can't imagine getting someone of his caliber to voice for you is cheap).

That marks the end of this insanely long rambling about this thing I've been obsessed with for years now and really wanted to archive in some limited way. Now I'm just waiting for them to come up with some new project that involves AI.

Ay Got another request!

I gotta see how the world circuit deals with each other on a daily basis. I can see it being totally chaotic, and Mr. Sandman is in the middle of it and he's tired of their bullshit.

oh YESSS!!! Thank u sm for this!! Used some exact times to flesh out a little schedule for them

- (08:00 to 08:30) Soda Popinski and Mr Sandman arrive, its calm for a little while until macho man and bald bull arrive and start to argue over the dumbest shit you can imagine, usually ending in someone getting beaten up or Sandman having to chase someone

- (09:30 to 10:20) Sandman has probably beaten someone up or chased someone at least once by now and soda popinski has chugged more than 20 bottles of soda, if anything is wrong (soda drinking less, Sandman not chasing anyone) then theres something odd

- (11:00 to 12:30) aran arrives, 30 injured, 2 casualties, by the time aran has arrived the minor circuit is here so he gets to terrorize them

- (12:50 to 13:10) aran is done terorrizing minor circuit, off to the major circuit where he'll put ink into dons perfume, steal bear huggers maple syrup and paint great tigers gem (he doesnt mess with piston hondo though, hes got enough self awareness to not go after some dude not bothering anyone)

- (14:10 to whenever aran feels like not terrorizing anyone) aran gets to terrorize the world circuit and proceeds to go as far as possible, ending in him getting taped to something or having something chucked at him, including: entire lockers, a bench, glass joe, dons toupe, bald bulls weights and a piece of drywall

- the walls in the world circuit locker rooms have been covered up and patched thousands of times and they just grab handfuls of it or burst through it like psychos, the wvba has given up on the walls

- same thing with the lockers,theyre starting to see the lockers less as a means of storage and more of a weapon

- by the end of the day mr sandman is tired both from the boxing and the locker chucking so he goes home

I got half of my thyroid removed, I don't know, 6 weeks ago? 7 weeks ago? something like that, and all of a sudden I can tolerate coffee. 🎉🎉🎉

Ugh I am having a lot of fun with my characters right now but I'm having some worries about their designs being too similar. But also too different in the wrong ways.

Gonna be looking at a ton of character design advice and maybe revising some things. A lot of the concerns are mainly related to clothes and hair, because they are distinctive enough body wise.

cons of watching bly manor: I am now filled with terrible anxiety and fear over losing those i love most (more of that fear/andiety than usual, anyway)
