My version of That 90s Show, if my verse didn't exist.

First, I'm setting the show in 1998. It pays homage to the OG show's start date, and it makes logistical sense. Betsy exists, and Jay is Kelso and Brooke's son. Plus, they missed a great opportunity to include younger siblings for both realism and comic relief (so no more Kitty as weird comic relief, eww).

Characters I'm keeping:

Gwen Marie Runck (born May 31, 1983: ESTP, 7w8): No significant changes, other than the hc that she's bi.

Nicole "Nikki" Maria Garcia (born November 10, 1982; ISTJ, 6w5): No significant changes, other than Nate and Nikki never dating, and the lore I've personally established (aka, being Buddy's niece).

Altering:

Lucy Katherine Forman (born July 19, 1983. INFJ, 4w5. Played by Raegan Revord): Named after Eric's favorite Star Wars protagonist, Lucy was an unexpected light in Eric and Donna's lives. She's smart, snarky, and craves adventure, even though she can be a bit of a starry-eyed idealist and a goody two shoes. She loves music, the oboe, books, the debate team, and is fairly politically minded. She may be a bit awkward, but she has a big heart.

She hasn't seen Jay since last summer, and he's certainly grown up, that's for sure. Her intense crush begins, minus the weird kissing frenzy at the mall, but she also has feelings for the girl next door...

John "Jay" Michael Kelso (born April 2, 1982. ISFP, 6w7. Played by Dylan Kingwell): Kelso and Brooke's son. Based on Jay's original description. He always has a video camera in his hand, with an artsy but vaguely pretentious aura, but he always has his heart on his sleeve. He gets straight As in school, and is smart like his mother, but can be a goofy flirt like his dad. Well, he tries to be.

Nathan "Nate" Casey Kelso (born December 8, 1981. ESFJ, 6w7): Casey and Sherri's son. He's a loveable goofball and a passionate football player. He's super close to his cousin Jay, but in a far less cringey way. Oh, and the random Nate and Leia plot twist doesn't happen here.

Removing:

Oscar "Ozzie" Chen: He's a walking stereotype, so bye.

Adding (main):

William "Will" James Hyde (born September 8, 1983. ESFP, 2w3. Played by Noah Jupe): A chill version of his mom Jackie, he's firmly in the closet. He's a popular football player, and him possibly coming out as gay terrifies him. He wouldn't be accepted by his peers, and it fucking sucks.

Also adding (recurring):

Elizabeth "Betsy" Victoria Kelso (born January 15, 1979. INTP, 6w5. Played by a young Minka Kelly): Kelso and Brooke's smart, scheming daughter. She often puts her nose where it doesn't belong.

Sarah Michelle Kelso (born March 16, 1985. ESFP, 7w6. Played by Julia Butters): Kelso and Brooke's ditzy but sweet daughter. She's close to Lauren, and has a crush on Nic Hyde.

Dominic "Nic" Steven Hyde (born April 21, 1985. ESTP, 7w8. Played by Mason Thames): Jackie and Hyde's loud, wild child son. Named after both Donna and Eric. He's always getting into trouble, often with Sarah and Lauren by his side.

Lauren Anne Forman (born February 12, 1986. ISTP, 6w5. Played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong): Eric and Donna's snarky, athletic daughter. Named after her Aunt Laurie. A firm tomboy, she'd much rather be playing basketball or fixing cars with grandpa Red than any of the girly crap most other girls like. She's already on the JV basketball team, and has her mother's jump shot (and her dad's last name). Also has a crush on Nic.

[alittlebitofeverythingsworld]

I've met a lot of nice people along the way but I'm very blessed to have met @supernannygirl704things @that70sshowgoldencouple @that90sshowgoldencouple aka Priscilla.

She wrote this sweet and thoughtful post and saw parallels between these two shows and characters and I'm in love 🤩😍. I literally had a tear because it was just so nice to see how much I meant to her.

We've both supported each other's works, left comments and overall love. And I just love how positive and warming she is. It's so nice to be able to share my love for Red & Kitty but also C.C and Niles with someone who loves them as well. From my very first video I made for Red and Kitty to all my recent work she's always left me loving comments and has always helped me go into a better direction with my stories.

She just is a really great friend and I have nothing but nice things to say about her.

So to wrap this up thank you so much for everything. And thank you for everything you've done for both couples. And thank you for being a great friend this year.

Team Red and Kitty all the way❤️

They really are the golden couple and couple goals!

Team C.C and Niles as well♥️

My teenage heart will always have a soft spot for these two!

They were my first enemies to lovers that I fell in love with.

Although to be honest they were never really enemies just complicated lol.

Palestine has been occupied for more than 76 years now, since 1948 year. This ep gives you a LOT of information, especially if you are one of the people who can’t see right through the propaganda; or the ones who go ‘well if you’re gay then go to Gaza and see how that goes for you’.

PAKİSTANLI MÜSLÜMAN BİR BİLİM ADAMININ İLGİNÇ ARAŞTIRMASI..

Dünyada yalnızca 14 milyon Yahudi var;

~Amerika'da 7 milyon,

~Asya'da 5 milyon,

~Avrupa'da 2 milyon,

~Afrika'da 100 bin

Adet Musevi yaşıyor..

Soru: Pekiyi de kaç adet Müslüman İnsan var?

Cevap: 1,4 milyar Müslüman;

~1 milyar Asya,

~400 milyon Afrika,

~44 milyon Avrupa,

~6 milyon Amerika

Kıt'asında Yaşıyor.

👉Yâni Dünyada 1 Musevi’ye Karşın 100 Müslüman Var...

İyi ama Yahudiler Müslümanlardan niçin 100 kat daha güçlü ve daha zengin ve daha eğitimli ve daha mucitler?

Tarafsız ve Bilimsel Yollarla tespit edilmiş nedenlerini öğrenmek istiyorsanız lütfen okumayı sürdürün.

👉Tüm zamanların en etkin bilim adamı Albert EİNSTEİN bir Yahudiydi.

👉Psikanalizin babası Sigmund FREUD bir Yahudiydi.

👉Karl MARKS Yahudiydi.

Tüm İnsanlığa zenginlik ve sağlık katmış Yahudilere bakalım;

👉Gerald Wald insan gözü hakkındaki bilgilerimizi geliştirerek Nobel ödülü kazandı.

👉Stanley Cohen embriyoloji embriyon ve gelişimi çalışmaları dalında Nobel aldı.

👉Willem Kolff böbrek diyaliz makinesini yaptı.

👉Emile Berliner telefon mikrofonunu,

👉Charles Ginsburg ilk bantlı video kayıt makinesini geliştirdi.

👉Stanley Mezor ilk mikro işlem çipini icat etti.

👉Leo Szilard ilk nükleer zincirleme reaktörünü geliştirdi.

Peki, ama;

~Son 100 Yıl içinde Yahudiler sadece Bilimsel alanda 104 Nobel Ödülü kazanırken,

~1.4 milyar Müslüman neden yalnızca 3 Nobel kazandı

Sorun kendinize;

250’lik IQ derecesiyle Dünyaya gelmiş en parlak insan hangi dine mensuptur?

Sorun kendinize;

Neden Yahudiler bu kadar güçlüdür?

Cevabı şudur;

Her çocuğa ve her gence kaliteli eğitim verirler...

Bu eğitim türü sorgulayıcı (teslimiyetçi değil), araştırıcı (ezberci değil) ve yaratıcıdır (bilgi üretmek/bulmak içindir)

Fictober Day 20: "I saw your eyes light up"

That '70s Show Fanfiction

Kelso cheered when red sparks burst high above his house. The rocket firework had successfully launched from his backyard after sunset. Neither he or Fez lost any fingers. They could do the same in the Formans' backyard on Halloween. The party was eleven days from now. Firing one or two rockets wouldn't be irresponsible if done correctly.

"Did you have to set that off so close to me?" Fez shouted at him.

Kelso waved at him dismissively. "I saw your eyes light up. You liked it."

Fez's jaw clenched, and he stamped his foot on a patch of grass. "Yes, I did, you magnificent bastard. You're lucky Brooke isn't here."

"Why do you think I invited you to test these rockets with me on a Friday night? She's at that improv class with Betsy. Brooke is getting funnier, by the way."

"That is good. Maybe her stiff humor won't kill our couples dinners anymore."

"Yeah ... " Kelso set up another firework rocket on the lawn. He'd get away with two, tops, without the neighbors narcing on him. "Brooke got that stiffness from her mother and aunts. She's lucky I accidentally got her pregnant, or she might've turned into a tree stump."

Fez backed off from the unlit firework to the backyard fence. He stuffed his gloved hands into his coat pockets. The evening was cold, and Kelso copied Fez by putting his own ungloved hands into his jacket pockets. He couldn't afford his fingers to become stiff.

"What's wrong, my friend?" Fez said. "Your mood has changed."

"Damn. You're a freaking mind-reader, and I wasn't even thinking about what's bugging me."

Fez nodded at him to go on, and Kelso did. "Last night, Me, Brooke, and Betsy had dinner with the family of a girl Betsy's friends with. This girl, Lauren, has a younger sister -- " he squinted, going through the night in his memory -- "Jenny! She's five, half Betsy and Lauren's age, but they let her play with them anyway. They had a lot of fun."

"I'm not hearing a problem."

"There's a huge problem, Fez! I made a mistake by not having another kid years ago."

"It's not too late." Fez pulled his hands from his pockets and gestured to the rocket firework. "You told Brooke you wouldn't use those at the Formans' Halloween party, but you got a lesson in firework safety, and you learned it."

Kelso hiked his shoulders to his ears. "Kids aren't fireworks. And Betsy'll be eleven years older than her sister or brother. I'm eight years older than the twins. I hosed crap off their asses when they were babies, but we barely know each other."

"So what? As long as a family is happy, it does not have to fit a certain mold ... unlike candy, which does."

"Man ... " Betsy's first smile rose in Kelso's mind, then her first laugh. "I love being a dad to my kid."

Fez stepped closer to him. "And also being a dad?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I do."

"I saw your eyes light up. What are you thinking?"

"That me and Brooke have to get drunk at the Molly Hatchet concert in December. They're playing a show at Biddy Mulligan's, and we've got tickets. I can't believe we snagged them! The fact they're playing only six shows this year and one of them's in Chicago can't be a coincidence."

Fez opened his mouth, like he had an idea or opinion, but he shut it again.

"Then we can do it in the bathroom," Kelso went on. "But I gotta make sure Brooke stays off her birth control."

"If you tell her you're open to having another child, I don't believe that will be a problem."

An excited, happy sensation bounced in Kelso's stomach. "We should fire off that rocket to celebrate."

"Sure -- " Fez removed his gloves -- "but this time I'll fire it."

"Just be sure to avoid my 'nads. I'm gonna need those."

Fez grinned in such a way that made Kelso cover his crotch protectively. After all the times Kelso had lit firecrackers under Fez's butt, he was within his right to get revenge. But the rocket shot straight into the night sky and exploded in orange light.

This Halloween was going to be awesome.

Darren Criss celebra con los mejores fans

El cantante hizo una pausa para presentar a sus tres coristas, quienes colaboraron con él en el EP "Homework" | Foto: Liliana Estrada

*The singer paused to introduce his three backing vocalists, who collaborated with him on the "Homework" EP | Photo: Liliana Estrada

Darren Criss ama al público mexicano, debido a su buena vibra y el amor que le brindan en sus conciertos, y no dudó en demostrar ese cariño durante el concierto que ofreció esta noche en el Frontón México, ante mil 600 personas.

"Saben que México tiene los mejores fans del mundo, ¿verdad? Están locos, es increíble, si este show es increíble esta noche, es por ustedes hijos de perra. Vamos a opacar a los demás países del mundo", expresó el artista, luego de iniciar su repertorio con "I'm so excited" y "Fuckin around".

El cantante hizo una pausa para presentar a sus tres coristas, quienes colaboraron con él en el EP "Homework", y lo acompañaron durante todo el show de esta noche. El público no dejaba de gritar su nombre, aplaudirle cada que se acercaba a la orilla del escenario o les sonreía. Mientras tanto, el concierto continuaba con temas como "Somewhere only we know", "Cough syrup", "Hopelessly devoted to you" y "I can't dance".

Darren también recordó su paso por el teatro musical, al interpretar temas como "Granger danger" (al lado de sus coristas, Lauren y Joey) y "Goin' back to Howarts", los cuales forman parte de la banda sonora de la obra "A very Potter musical". "Hemos tocado un par de canciones que todos conocen, pero todavía tenemos algunas más. Quiero que sigan cantando conmigo", dijo en la recta final de la presentación.

El originario de San Francisco, California, incluyó "Torture me", un cover de los Red Hot Chilli Peppers, el cual aseguró es uno de sus temas favoritos. "Me hubiera gustado escribirla yo. No es un hit en la radio, pero chequenla, es maravillosa", comentó. Recordando su paso por la televisión, interpretó "Teenage dream" de Katy Perry, canción que formó parte del soundtrack de la serie "Glee", donde dio vida al personaje de "Blaine Anderson". "¿La están pasando bien? ¿Están aprendiendo algo? Espero que regresen a casa diciendo estuvo genial, quiero regresar a verlo pronto", expresó con alegría, y prometió visitar el interior de la República en su próxima gira.

El concierto finalizó con los temas "For a night like this" y "Day that the dance is over". Antes de despedirse, Darren reiteró su cariño hacia México, y externó su deseo de que todos los presentes hayan pasado una noche inolvidable. "Gracias por estar aquí está noche, los amamos. Gracias por su energía, vamos a terminar el show con alegría para que vayan a casa a decirles a sus amigos lo bien que la pasaron".

*Darren Criss loves the Mexican public, due to his good vibes and the love they give him at his concerts, and he did not hesitate to show that affection during the concert he offered tonight at the Frontón México, in front of 1,600 people.

"You know that Mexico has the best fans in the world, right? They're crazy, it's incredible, if this show is incredible tonight, it's because of you sons of bitches. We're going to outshine other countries in the world," said the artist, after starting his repertoire with "I'm so excited" and "Fuckin around".

The singer paused to introduce his three backing vocalists, who collaborated with him on the "Homework" EP, and accompanied him throughout tonight's show. The public did not stop shouting his name, applauding him every time he approached the edge of the stage or smiled at them. Meanwhile, the concert continued with songs like "Somewhere only we know", "Cough syrup", "Hopelessly devoted to you" and "I can't dance".

Darren also recalled his time in musical theater, interpreting songs like "Granger danger" (alongside his backup singers, Lauren and Joey) and "Goin' back to Howarts", which are part of the soundtrack of the play " A very Potter musical". "We have played a couple of songs that everyone knows, but we still have some more. I want you to continue singing with me," he said in the final stretch of the presentation.

The San Francisco, California native included "Torture me," a Red Hot Chilli Peppers cover, which he said is one of his favorite songs. "I would have liked to write it myself. It's not a hit on the radio, but check it out, it's wonderful," he commented. Remembering his time on television, he performed Katy Perry's "Teenage dream", a song that was part of the soundtrack of the series "Glee", where he gave life to the character of "Blaine Anderson". "

Are you having a good time? Are you learning something? I hope you return home saying it was great, I want to return to see you soon," he said happily, and promised to visit the interior of the Republic on his next tour.

The concert ended with the songs "For a night like this" and "Day that the dance is over". Before saying goodbye to him, Darren reiterated his love for Mexico, and expressed his wish that everyone present had an unforgettable night. "Thank you for being here tonight, we love you. Thank you for your energy, we're going to end the show with joy so you can go home and tell your friends what a great time you had."
