Meeting the parents
--------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
Luca kaneshiro
I think Luca would be the best person to show to your parents or friends he's very cute he'll try his best to be polite around your family he needs to give a good first impression he does love you after all
Will be very nervous after you tell him your parents want to meet him
Will ask for advice from his friends and chat who tell him to be polite not to joke around that much and no deeznuts jokes
He'll whine on stream asking why he has to do that then stopped whining when he received a supa explaining that he'll lose his lovely girl if he does that he might lose a few limbs too
Chat also mentions that fem!reader talked about their parents and how protective they are on stream once which makes our dear Luca even more nervous
You both mostly share the same friends and he isn't that nervous to get to know your friends who he finds very cool
Finally it's the day to go visit your family Luca can't stop pacing around his room he had to leave in about an hour and he didn't even know what to wear should he wear his suit? Should he wear something more casual? Should he wear another suit?
He calls Ike for help who advised him to wear a casual outfit nothing over the top
Luca finally got ready and picked up you going to your parents' house
In the end he was surprised by how fun it was he absolutely loved your parents and they loved him very much as well
Your parents definitely approve of this man he gets lots of food too he went home with a very big smile that night

He gets more nervous the more he thinks about it so he tries to not think about it
Will definitely be prepared a whole day before he has to meet fem!reader's parents
Will be ready an hour before and will go buy a simple gift for fem!reader's parents will pick you up and be on his way to your parents' house

Now that he finally thinks about it he gets very nervous what will he wear? Why will he bring on his way? Will your parents like him? What if he messed up and says something bad?
Will definitely ask vox and his chat for help
He'll definitely try to make a hypothetical situation to his chat his chat will definitely understand what he's hinting at and will actually give him lots of good advice
He'll be very prepared after all the advice he got and will buy foods and snacks for your family
You were somewhat surprised when you were greeted with a very blushy and smiley ike with a flower bouquet in his hands Infront of your front door
"this is for you I brought some for you're parents but I wanted to give you yours now"
After you arrive at your parents' house he gets a little nervous again at first then definitely warms up

Movie Star - Part 2
A/N AND WE”VE REACHED THE END OF MY ADVENT CALENDAR a day late I know oops. Here’s part 2 to Movie star lovelies, hope you enjoy xx
Part 2
The next week felt like a blur to Y/N. And possibly the weirdest week she had ever experienced in her entire life. She was on set almost every day, with incredibly long hours given that they needed to do just as many night shoots as day ones, and it needed to be perfectly dark for the cinematographers to actually get the right shot.
Y/N had never felt so exhilarated and exhausted at the same time. She’d been on sets before, obviously, having tried to get as many internships and free work whilst she wasn’t getting any paid roles, and having done almost every small time shitty job that you could do behind the camera, but it was nothing like getting to be an entirely different person for 12 hours a day.
She’d met most of the crew, though she struggled to remember names given that there was over 200 of them wandering around at different times of the day. There seemed to be a rotating cast list, with only a few core people on set every single day with Y/N and Sirius. The person that seemed to be around the most was James Potter, who was playing Sirius’ brother Rowan, and had clicked almost immediately with Sirius. During night sets they could regularly be found playing small pranks on the crew to keep their spirits up when they needed to reset a scene for the 50th time.
Y/N hadn’t seen Mary since she’d dropped the very disconcerting news the week previous, but she had received hundreds of emails regarding their ‘relationship’ since then, with a very long list of potential Instagram posts and stories, events they will go together to, and potential dates to flaunt. Y/N had been trying to push down the vague nausea that seemed to wash over her every time she thought about it, but this morning she’d received a text that meant she might puke at any moment.
“Morning, Y/L/N,” Sirius grinned at her as Y/N walked onto set, yawning loudly at him, and holding a large cappuccino.
“Morning, Black. How’ve you been during the past eight hours you’ve not seen me?”
“Not bad, not bad, ate a packet of mike and ike’s instead of dinner but otherwise nothing wild.” He ran a hand through his hair as they walked through the sunny parking lot at the studio. It was incredibly hot, the sun shining directly on Y/N’s back and no cool breeze to stop the sweat from beginning to drip down her back.
“So…” Y/N could sense the slight change in his tone, and her stomach curdled. “Did you get that text this morning?”
“Yep, 6am on the dot. Do you reckon she actually sleeps?”
“I sincerely doubt it,” Sirius barked out a laugh as he pushed open the door to lot 34 and let Y/N pass in front of him. Y/N felt a little relief as Sirius’ face returned to his more natural ‘at-ease-with-anything’ expression.
“But yeah, looks like we’re getting brunch this weekend.” Y/N continued, wanting more than anything to get this conversation out of the way so she could go back to attempting to become best friends with a very influential actor.
“I’ve got to tell you a secret before we do,” Sirius lowered his voice, leaning against Alice’s caravan, his face significantly closer than Y/N was used to. “I don’t like brunch.”
Y/N burst out into laughter, nervous energy bursting out of her. He smelled like the ocean. Shut up, Y/N.
“How do you not like it! It’s the best possible meal.” Y/N protested, Sirius still leaning over her but pulled his head back to smile.
“Honestly, I ust feel like it’s so overpriced and I could probably just cook something better at hom… and I’m sounding like a total prat right now, aren’t I.”
“A little bit… Mr Millionaire.” Y/N teased, shoving his shoulder playfully.
“Oh shut up. Well I guess we must flaunt our incredible, blooming relationship.” He said dramatically, bowing at Y/N. “I’ll see you on set M’lady.”
Y/N rolled her eyes and pushed the door open to meet Alice who was standing very close to the door and giggling.
“You heard all of that didn’t you,” Y/N grumbled.
“Every last romantic word.” Alice bustled her into her chair and stood in front of her, getting started on her face. Y/N had stopped bothering to do herself up before coming into work, given that Alice was likely going to either destroy it or make her look ten times better than Y/N could ever have attempted.
Given that they were still early on in the script, Y/N was normally covered in dirt, but she was soon to be ‘cleaned up’ and accepted into the royal court where Sirius of course would be waiting.
“Have you seen Frank lately?” Alice asked calmly, only a slight edge of curiosity in her voice. Y/N snorted, blowing a puff of foundation powder onto Alice.
“Sorry, you’re just stupidly in love with that boy.”
“I am not!” Alice’s voice went up about two octaves and Y/N grinned wider. “Stop smiling I’m trying to make you look like a sad peasant.”
“I have seen him, given that he is the head cameraman and is constantly in my face.
“Mmm,” Alice replied nonchalantly.
“He mentioned you the other day.”
“Really.”
“Yeah but since you don’t care…”
“I will make you look like a pig,” Alice growled at her, puffing a brush onto her nose, making Y/N smile.
“That’s your head on a platter to Marlene, not mine,” Y/N could hear Alice grumbling under her breath for a few moments before she replied.
“Fine, I admit my stupid crush, what did he say about me.”
“Just that the make up looked very good on set, and he was very impressed.”
Y/N was sure that if she could have opened her eyes that Alice would have been dancing. But instead, all she heard was.
“That’s nice of him.”
Alice ushered her out of the van, wishing Y/N luck for the rest of the day. Y/N waved her off and made her way to costuming before heading back to set. Today Sirius was revealed to be the prince of Altervail, and Y/N had to stop herself from staring at him looking incredibly dapper in a deep navy uniform. It was form fitting and perfectly complimented his dark grey-blue eyes.
“Looking good, peasant,” Sirius grinned when he saw her, turning away from James who was wearing the same uniform.
“Thank you, your highness.” Y/N curtseyed very low in her pants.
“Ready to be accepted into our humble kingdom?” James side-stepped Sirius so he was beside him. It was a little uncanny looking at the two of them next to each other, dark skin and jet black hair. Sirius’ however fell with a kind of curling ease that James’ messy hair could never have achieved.
“Ready as I’ll ever be.”
In the evening, the crew had set up dinner and someone had brought in a crate of beers since they had managed to finish up early. Y/N had been talking to a small, very peppy brown haired girl when Sirius tapped her on the shoulder.
“Hey, I’m heading off – just wanted to say goodnight,” He was smiling softly down at her. He looked tired, his make up was off and he was wearing an oversized black hoodie. He somehow looked more like himself than Y/N had ever seen him, even though they had spent the last 100 hours together.
“Oh ok, goodnight then.”
“I guess I’ll see you on Sunday.”
“Yes, I nearly forgot,” Liar. He said nothing, but just continued to smile. “But yes, see you then.”
“Ok, well bye then,” And he turned and disappeared into the night.
“Please get out of the bathroom, Lils!” Y/N banged on the door loudly. “I have to go!”
“It’s a fake date, that’s hardly wild plans.” Lily replied, her voice strained. Y/N groaned, she was probably putting on her eyeliner which could take up to an hour.
It was 9:45, and Mary had left specific instructions that she needed to be at the restaurant at 10am sharp and Sirius was going to pick her up. She was to look good, but non-descript, like they were on a date but not trying to show off. It was a lot of instructions that Y/N really couldn’t figure out. Lily and herself had spent two hours going through each of their wardrobes trying to pick out an outfit that fit Mary’s words and they had finally settled on a simple yellow summer dress and sandals.
The doorbell rang and Y/N jumped.
“Fucking hell Lily, he’s here! Get out and stall him so I can look like an awake human being!”
The door swung open, Lily’s long red hair swishing along her shoulder, one terribly lined eye done and the other black line smudged all over her eye.
“You look great.”
“Shut up and put on your face.”
She swung passed her and towards the front door as Y/N moved quickly towards the bathroom mirror, pulling open all the drawers manically.
“Hey, come on in, she’s just getting ready.” Y/N could hear the door open and Lily inviting him inside, panic was building in her chest. How do you get ready for a date with Sirius Black? What were they going to say about her? What if every magazine just posts about how pathetic she looked beside him?
Lily popped her head around the doorway.
“He’s cute, also brown eyeshadow, keep it easy.”
“Thanks,” Y/N grabbed the palate beside her and attempted her eyes as Lily disappeared back down into their tiny kitchen/living room. Y/N could hear light chatter but couldn’t make out the words, which somehow made her even more nervous. Finally, she looked at herself in the mirror and grimaced. Good enough.
She made her way into the main room to greet him, plastering a look of calm and confidence onto her face.
“Hey! You found the place ok?” She smiled at Sirius and pulled him into a hug. Nice one, never done that before.
“Yeah, I actually used to live around here. Ready to go?” He was wearing a linen white shirt, rolled up at the sleeves and dark blue jeans that were tight but not too tight. He looked perfectly casual but nice. Fuck.
“Yep, ready as ever.” Y/N grabbed her denim jacket and kissed Lily on the cheek goodbye, following Sirius out the door.

- awe, simon
- okay HOLY SHIT. the sounds of what i assume to be them fucking stabbing simon are horrific. and then that cut to simon’s fucking mutiliated corpse?? holy SHIT. like as much as im complaining, thats the gruesome shit i expect from this book. i was expecting them to shy away from it bc its so awful, but im SO glad they didnt, bc that gave me fuckin chills. finally, something i can praise them on. thats the lord of the flies i expect.

- ok good. samneric came back. good job again.

- did roger just wolf whistle at ralph what the fuck is going on
- holy SHIt this movie does not hold back on the blood. but, wheres my conch explosion?? if ur gonna show him getting hit u gotta show the conch exploding. although, the conch means like nothing in this movie lmao
- okay wow piggys dead body cool cool cool
- ralph fucking YEETED that kid to the ground lmao
- okay, ralph crying?? good acting
tl;dr/conclusion/my thoughts: hooooo boy so i see why everyone likes 1960 one better. 
first, lets start with the obvious: why this isnt lord of the flies. because its not. if this wasnt telling me that its lord of the flies, i would think of it as that, really. first off, the conch. the conch represents civility, it brings them together. its important. when piggy dies, it dies, representing how all civility is now gone. i maybe saw the conch three times this movie. didnt do anything.
second, the pilot, captain whatever. the point of the beast to me is that they made it up. sure, the corpse was real, but it didnt pose a threat, it was simply a corpse. they made it into what it was, therefore proving that they are the beast. sure, the pilot here was harmless, but he grbbed a boy’s foot and was therefore making himself a possible threat. maybe its not a big deal i guess.
third, the characters. the point of lord of the flies is that they are rich kids who havent gone through anything. theyre the perfect, spoiled kids who havent done anything wrong. half of them are in choir. chOIR. in this movie, lets take jack for example. they said he stole  a car and got sent to military school. no. the point of jack is that he was a perfect kid. leader of choir. he was manipulitive and got even ADULTS to trust him. its part of hs character, showing that this perfect choir leader kid went fucking insane to prove how literally everyone can be evil. also samneric???? the direspect!! they were loyal to ralph until they were tied up and FORCED to join jack, and even then, after roger like beat the shit out of them, they were STILL loyal. fuck you.
so those are the MAIN reasons why it wasnt lotf. 
now, what i liked i guess.
the swearing was NOT lotf, and it didnt fit with the story, but ill admit that i laughed, so i guess thats a plus.
second, i liked how they showed the gore, i guess? sounds weird, hear me out. lord of the flies is a gruesome, violent, awful book. theres descriptions of death in detail, and im so glad they showed it. when simon’s body was there, literally torn to shreds? the shock of it, the true savagery you see that these boys murdered him SO violently, is amazing, because thats the essence of lotf. simons death shows how theyve lost all their civility, and showing such a gruesome corpse really brings that through. so good job.
and now, of course, the obvious: thats not the characters i pictured when i read the story. simon doesnt look like that, ralph doesnt look like that, jack doesnt look like that.
 where did the choir go, too? forgot to mention that, and i think that also adds into the whole, theyre supposed to be perfect kids and then become savage thing. also, the choir was a group. they voted for jack and went with him for a reason. 
so yea, thats that. dont know why people would read this lmao but thats my thoughts!!!! i just need to keep myself busy when i watch movies and to make sure i focused, i figured id just write down my thoughts as i went. if u wanna watch for free, look up lord of the flies 1990 google drive. 
;)))) and yea im posting this at 230 am lmao why not

PROF. CHAOS: You just couldn’t wait to save your darling partner of justice, Super Craig.
PROF. CHAOS: Of course, I have more to thank than you.
PROF. CHAOS: I’d like to thank my several new evil-doers, the ones who helped kidnap you, and the committee of the Heroes of Evil as a whole!
PROF. CHAOS: That’s, uh, H-O-E for short, in case any of y’all were maybe wondering like, “What in the sam heck are all these signs around here saying H.O.E???”
PROF. CHAOS: That’s what it stands for.
CAPTAIN DIABETES: Thanks for clearing that up, I was actually kinda confused.  
Tumblr media
PROF. CHAOS: As you all can see, my-- our evil reign stretches much further than me and a couple of minions this time, fellas.
PROF. CHAOS: All those younger kids, all those girls and weirdos that you never let play with you...
PROF. CHAOS: One by one, I offered them a space under my wing.
PROF. CHAOS: Eventually we grew into something greater. Something more...
PROF. CHAOS: Sinister...
HUMAN KITE: Wait... Ike?!
HUMAN KITE: It’s way past your bed time, you should be home!
PROF. CHAOS: There is no Ike here, you dumb kite!
PROF. CHAOS: You must be referring to the dreaded Doomsday!
DOOMSDAY: I hava crown!
PROF. CHAOS: When he told me his back story, my heart wept for him.
PROF. CHAOS: All he wanted to was to play super hero... To be a good guy.
PROF. CHAOS: But quickly he learned, the very one kite-wearing hero he looked up to... was a total jerk!
PROF. CHAOS: His idol wouldn’t let him play heroes with him at all!
PROF. CHAOS: Soon he realised that all the Freedom Pal’s were just huge dummies, and he vowed from then on to wipe you all from existence!
PROF. CHAOS: So many of these fine villains have tragic backstories, just like Doomsday.
PROF. CHAOS: But they’ve all been pushed away by society, and so they came to me...
PROF. CHAOS: If only you had played nice.
PROF. CHAOS: Sorta sad to hear, comin’ from the guy who’s supposed to be the villain, huh?
PROF. CHAOS: Anyways, I’m keeping you fellers waiting too long.
PROF. CHAOS: If you’d all direct your attention above--
Tumblr media
PROF. CHAOS: You see that big ol’ hatch up there?
PROF. CHAOS: Once that opens, this room will be transformed into a ginormous ball pit!
MOSQUITO: Oh boy!
PROF. CHAOS: Yes, oh boy indeed...
PROF. CHAOS: Because there’ll be so many balls that it’ll fill the room to the ceiling, drowning you all in a colorful, plastic death!
MOSQUITO: Oh no!
MYSTERION: You’ll never get away with this, Chaos!
MYSTERION: This has gone too far!
PROF. CHAOS: Maybe so.
PROF. CHAOS: But after today, no villain will ever have to worry about you guys again!
PROF. CHAOS: No more good samaritans gone sour, no more being told that you can’t play with the cool kids or that your outfit’s too dumb.
PROF. CHAOS: And before you think that you can escape your binds...
PROF. CHAOS: Even if you did, we took all your phones!
PROF. CHAOS: Including a certain little bug’s phone, too...
Tumblr media
MOSQUITO: Hey! Don’t touch my phone!
PROF. CHAOS: I see you’ve been blogging about your little adventure here.
PROF. CHAOS: It’s so cute, all the things you’ve been through.
MOSQUITO: Don’t mess with my blog, dude!
MOSQUITO: That’s like, my life’s work!
PROF. CHAOS: Oh don’t worry about that.
PROF. CHAOS: I’m gonna make sure all your little followers continue to know just what your up to.
PROF. CHAOS: They’ll all see your demise, because I’ll be live-blogging it from your blog!
PROF. CHAOS: From now on, your blog now belongs to the Heroes of Evil!
[The Heroes of Evil are now open to asks!]

Jeremy Gilbert Imagines: Imagine 9: When he sees you at the Founders ball
(IF YOU SEE SOME OF MY IMAGINES WITHOUT A GIF IT MEANS THAT IT WOULDNT LOAD)
"Tonight is the night of the Founders ball, are you excited?" your older sister Caroline asked "yea I guess so, but i hate wearing dresses, would rather wear jeans and t-shirts" I replied my sister looked at me "Yea ik" she said as she laughed, she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and we walked out towards her car, once we were buckled into our seats Care started our drive towards the school.
skip drive:
Once Caroline parked the car into a car space in the school parking lot we both got out and grabbed our bags before walking off. She walked straight towards Elena, Bonnie, Matt, Stephen, Tyler and Jeremy. I walked towards the entrance of the school when Someone grabbed my arm. I turned around to see Elena "Hey y/n, come hang out with us" she said as she dragged me over towards everyone. "Nice of you to join us" Care said, I rolled my eyes at her.
"So are we going dress shopping for tonight?" Bonnie said "Yes" Caroline said "I don't need to i already have a dress" I replied as i looked at them. "seriously?" Care asked, "Yea its the dress i was gonna wear for my friend's Prom but i didn't end up going" I replied "I am not letting you wear that dress, it doesn't suit you, so your coming" Caroline said  "Do i have to i Hate shopping" I said which caused an answer from all three girls. "YESSS" just then the bell rang "Cool well i'm saved by the bell, later" I said as i quickly walked away.
I sat down in my history class in my usual seat when Someone sat down beside me, I looked at the person to see Jeremy Gilbert, Elena's younger brother, "So you excited for the founders ball like my sister and yours?" he asked "nope these kinda things aren't exactly my thing, but i have to go because my family is a founder just like yours" I replied as i looked at the brown eyed boy.
"Yea i prefer to wear jeans and t-shirt then a Tux" He replied "Right I would rather wear jeans and a hoodie then a dress and now my sister is gonna drag me around the mall from store to store" I said, making Jeremy laugh. Just as he was about to say something our history teacher walked in, Mr Saltzman.
skip rest of school, to the end of school.
Once the bell for the last class sounded through the halls, and all the students rushed out of the classrooms. you walked out of yours and stopped by your locker and exchanged a couple of books that you didn't need with books that you do need.
At your locker, you saw Jeremy waiting for you. "What are you doing here?" I asked "Well I figured that I would tag along, I mean I need to get a few things for the founders ball anyway" He said with a cheeky grin. "What are you up to Gilbert" I asked as I eyed him suspiciously, He just smiled and looked at me "Nothing" he replied as we both walked out of the school and towards the car park.
We saw Care, Elena and Bonnie talking by my sister's car, I turned and looked at Jeremy "Here we go" I said as Jeremy looked at me and laughed as we walked closer towards the girls. "are you ready Y/n/n" Elena asked "Um, what choice do i have?" I asked. "NONE" Bonnie and Caroline both said at the same time, "I know" I sighed as i put my bag into the boot and hoped into the back of her car. Jeremy jumped  in too. "Jer what are you doing?" Elena asked "I need to get a few things from the mall so, I figured i'd tag along" He replied as he took a seat beside me, I looked at Caroline and Elena and shrugged at them.
Skip car ride:
Once we arrived at the Mall, "I'm gonna  go into Forever New, I'll catch up with all later" I said as i walked off only for my sister to grab my arm. "Wait i'm coming with you i want to check out a dress there as well" She said as we walked side by side into Forever new.
I tried on this red dress, navy dress, and it goes on and on and on, Care is throwing dresses at me to try on. "Care I don't like any of these dresses" I said as I put them all back onto the rack when i walked over towards a rack of dresses that I haven't been to yet and I found this black dress that was off the shoulders but had lace sleeves and it was long at the back and short at the front.
It was elegant and simple. I picked it up and went to the changing rooms and tried it on. "Hey Care what do you thing of this one?" I asked as i stepped out of the change room. She looked and gasped at me and came over towards me, "Y/n This is a gorgeous dress, the boys are going to be tripping over their feet" Care said "I think this is the one Care" I replied as i did a twirl "I think you'd be crazy if you didn't buy it" she said.
I nodded and walked back into the change room, put my jeans and hoodie back on and took the dress to the counter. I brought Silver high heels and a silver Clutch that goes with the dress.
Skip to later that night. (getting ready for the founders ball).
"Y/n hurry up, we are leaving" My mum yelled from downstairs. "Coming" i said as i walked down in my outfit. I was wearing My black Dress, with silver High heels, My make up was Silver smokey eye and red burgundy lipstick as well as Silver diamante necklace and earrings. (Pic Below of outfit).

Random stuff from the new vid, basically my running commentary
"Comment below, because the human connection will make me feel like a person again." mood
"Everything is going wrong in my life." mOOD
R: "What up, plebs" I never knew I needed to hear that
P: 🎵 "Singin to myself, cause I'm not uncomfortable at all" 🎵 poor Pat!
R: "Secret secrets are no fun, tell me now or else we're done." (Roman, you're doing great, sweetie)
R: "I have yet to receive my invite to the pity party." MOOD
P, dryly: "That's easy for you to say." (Huh.)
V: " What he means is that you're not a great judge of what is and is not an overreaction. Your most extreme reaction is an eyebrow raise." / L: "FaLSEhOOd!" / V: "I stand corrected." / P: "There's the one for the day." (Implying he screams falsehood every day at least once? I sure hope so)
V : "So I'm acting fishy. So sushi. I mean sue me." / R: "Don't act like that was an accident." My boys, I've missed you
4:26 V: "I'm gonna prohibit your breathing if you keep this up!" If you didn't hear that the first time, I beg you to go back and hear that part because it is golden, but if you'd rather not I get it
P: "2005's Just Like Heaven starting Mark Ruffalo and Reese Witherspoon?" / V: "Sure." He's so done
P: "You Ruffle-know it." First pun of the video!
R: "If they got married, then he'd be Mark With-his-spoon." Oh, I... I get it
P: "They'd be Mr. and Mrs. With-their-spoon." Pat no
R: "You hijacked my joke! You high-joked!" I stg
5:59 What. The fuck. That's so disturbing, just the fingers coming over the back of the TV? (But little did I know, it would get far more disturbing)
OH MY GOD, that mustache?!
P: "You killed him!" / R, on the floor: "Ughhghg"
What the fuck is this song? What the heck is going on?
Weeelllll then,,,
Deceit's 6 hands are back then,, and still a thing?
Well, we got a villain song, even if it wasn't the one I wanted. I'll just be patient.
"Look, Mr. Duke, I'm really stupid right now, just tell me who you are." What
Duke: "Black out all the juicy stuff." I'm sorry what
P: "Yeah, your... b-hole needs to stay zipped up in your pants where it belongs." What am I watching right now, did I take a left turn at Albuquerque or what
"I'm sorry I don't see the creative merit in 'juicy butthole.'"
UGH HE PULLED HIS EARS OFF HOLY SHIT THAT SOUNDED LIKE VELCROW UGH!
P: "You put those back on right now, mister!" uM EXCUSE ME SIR
L: "But you did exactly what I needed you to." / P: 🎵 "Patton, did a real good job." 🎵
R, mumbling on the floor: "No mommy, I don't want the mashed potatoes."
Duke: 🎵 "Hey prude, your art is bad" 🎵
That cackle! The Duke must've been both strange (and maybe in some twisted way, do I dare say fun?) to play
Duke: "What is my deal? B*tch, what is your deal?" The aTTITUDE
His outfit is so sparkly; wow my AD(H)D is everywhere
17:53 P: "................maybe"
19:08 okay I'm glad that we're pretending like that never happened, that was strange
V: "You bastard" / P: *gasps* / V: "Okay, you can't pretend that that isn't happening" (um, ew)
P: "That's what repression is?" (My poor baby, you shouldn't have to deal with all of that, my poor Patton. Also, I'm going to assume that response was because he has secret repression of his own but he didn't know what it was, ik I'm reaching with headcanons here)
L: "You're just para— expressing a healthy amount of concern. Thank you for being on guard." Logan knew that could lead to an argument, which is the last thing Thomas needs right now, so he changed what he was saying (maybe? people have mentioned Roman's "paranovigilant" so I'm not sure?)
L: "Ahahahah, I said figuratively, and that is why I say it." (What is this music?) "That 👏 is 👏 why 👏 I 👏 say 👏 it 👏" (Logan's clappy thing is back, is that a habit or just to accentuate his words, I wonder?)
Duke: "I looove being given two Ds at once." (Oh no, I did not need to hear that)
Duke: "Record scratch?"
L: "He's being too strict. Oh my goodness, Patton is being too strict? It's not me for once? What does that mean? Am I cool? Does this make me cool? Am I being cool?!" Logan, sweetie, you're cool, I promise! (He's so excited! ❤️)
The whole discussion about reek and the deodorant is the best ("pickled poo log") (" deodorants don't have flavors, you don't eat deodorants—" you were saying, Virge?)
"Dukey"
Ooh, Remus? That's a name
Duke: "I would never hide anything from you." Why did the camera pan to show Virgil looking guilty? Is he still hiding something?
27:49 what... was that? I think both Patton and Virgil display my reaction
I hate how much he sounds like Roman sometimes, but they are played by the same person and probably are supposed to sound alike
Logan's little "everything is okay" really got to me, it's oddly comforting
Duke: "It was just like old times." Yet more evidence that Virgil knows the Dark Sides! More theory fodder! Plus Virgil's "you /used/ to scare me" (turns out we don't need theory fodder anymore, it's been proved ^^)
They're all so excited to see Roman! (Especially Patton's "you're alive!")
Ahh, Roman & Logan are trying to get along now!
I don't wanna bring the Logan ships into this, but everyone's little smile at him before he leaves? I like him a lot more too after this episode
Roman's groan of "I don't like him" reminds me of how he used to react to Virgil
Roman & Remus left with the same "byeee"
Virgil's "the others", "I thought I knew how to handle them" (the music's crescendoing?), "Yeah, but I should know better" and fiNALLY "Because I was one of them." YESSSS OUR THEORIES PAID OFF I just went "wHOOO" super loud in the middle of my house
"partially due to a bad dream about demonic fridges" are we just... not going to talk about that? no??? He's pretending Gavin's just some kid who breaks into his house to steal his HelloFresh? "wHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS! I HAVE CHANGED THE LOCK FIVE TIMES"
In conclusion, sorry guys, I don't really like 'Remus,' so don't mind me if I continue calling him the Duke. Now Sanders Sides to me will be associated with him, which is not a good thought. I finally understand why some people don't like our snake side, I might need to watch for trigger warnings for the Duke myself now. (Sorry!)

Analysis/Breakdown of 'Always BMO Closing' Hello, hello!My breakdown/analysis of 'The Wild Hunt' was quite successful yesterday, many of you appreciated my thoughts of the episode. So let's continue with the next one!Now, I'm gonna tell you right now: 'Always BMO Closing' doesn't have a whole lot to it. Oh, it's a fun episode! Don't get me wrong; but it doesn't have a lot of meat to it. There's still something that I could talk about, but not to the extent of the rest of this set.But enough of that, let's just get into it.Always BMO ClosingCan I just say the title card for this episode is kinda unnerving?I really like the opening scene with Finn and Jake goofing around while having breakfast. Know why? Because it's just the two of them finding amusement in something so incredibly mundane - I can't help but think back to the early seasons, where Finn and Jake were a lot wilder, and how much they've grown and mellowed out now. Compare this scene to the breakfast scene in 'Her Parents', and you'll see how much they've changed. This is emphasized by the lines underneath Jake's eyes - emphasizing his older age.It's cute seeing Finn and Jake feeding into BMO's dress-up/imagination games. It's been said many times in these later seasons that they now see him as "like [their] son" or a baby. The little celebration they have set up in the third act, along with Jake's hilarious dialogue there, further hammers this in.Doubly cute that Finn and Jake are happy to see Ice King bonding with BMO. Again, I'm just reminded of how much their perception of him has changed. Jake especially, like with Marceline, took a lot longer to warm up to the IK. It's been clear their change in treatment of him has changed in the later series. Despite all his craziness, we and the characters themselves know that Ice King, in truth, just wants friends - people to hang out with. We see our characters facilitating this desire in a few episodes, so it's nice that we see how treating him like a friend as opposed to an enemy is the right way to deal with Ice King.And for those of you who don't remember, Ice King is a great playmate for BMO from what we saw in President Porpoise is Missing. He's crazy enough not to question the imaginary stuff BMO does.Ice King claims his body talks to him. I wonder if that's the crown or he's just insane - either one is applicable, really."Can you believe this weather?" as opposed to "How about the weather today?" I've always liked the way BMO talks and butchers the English language. As a machine he probably has no concept of these sayings and how they are supposed to go - but in his efforts to play a role he just says what makes sense to his mechanical mind.A line he says in this episode, "These are selling like red hots," instead of hotcakes. Red hots don't really make sense (it's a powerfully spicy cinnamon), but it has "hot" in the name and that makes more sense to BMO than hotcakes - which people don't sell in Ooo, nor call pancakes. Writing dialogue for BMO must always be fun.It's quick but Ice King's got this great grin when BMO puts the apple pie in his coat. What's hilarious is I don't think BMO was giving it to him, he was just putting it away (bodies don't talk and all, remember? Plus he's in his imagination mode right now).I like Tree Trunks in this scene, and what they did with her. How, they make her seem so senile for buying a branch with a ton of money, when in reality it made a lot of sense. Tree Trunks, although she's a silly old lady, isn't outright stupid. She bought the branch so Mr. Pig would have a backscratcher, and let's be honest, they really don't need a ton of money. They seem to live pretty comfortably without having to use that roll of dollar bills (remember that Sweet P taking KoO's gold in Gold Stars was what made them expand their house).When we cut back to BMO and Ice King, there's a tree with a heart carved into it that says "TT + W" for Tree Trunks and Wyatt.After they pass by LSP, there's a tree with a television in its hole, windows, and a target with arrows in it on the adjacent tree. Is this perhaps the home of Stevie the Squirrel, #1 fan of Jake?Before they reach the ziggurat, we see the hills with furniture in the distance, where Finn and Fern played Rock, Paper, Scissors in Three Buckets.I wonder why Gumbald dug those two holes. Oh, wait! Now I remember! There were two, huge, dormant bombs lodged into the ground. And now they're gone. Oh dear.I have to say, this episode was great in feeling irrelevant and fun until they showed the ziggurat. I recognized the hills with furniture immediately though, and was filled with sudden dread. It was a great turn on its head for what would otherwise be another innocent BMO episode.When we first see the ziggurat, it has a staircase leading up to it and the surrounding cliffs were untouched. Now that is removed, there's passageways and divets scattered about the the mountains and it's covered in scaffolding and walkways. Gumbald's been busy the past month, and to me this emphasizes how he is all about utilizing the environment to advance his goals and resources, uncaring for the damage he's doing to them, or in this case, an ancient landmark. Finn may be an adventurer who raids these places, but he doesn't damage landmarks in such a way.The sentinel is Cousin Chiklay, I think. His body structure is the similar to this thing, and I think he's wearing that suit to hide his identity.The way he let's them in, vanishes, and then Gumbald comes in with an ax, I feel like the impression we're supposed to get, is they kill anyone who comes across their lair. They don't want anyone knowing they exist. Of course Gumbald let's BMO go, but he's obviously gone off the deep end. He could have easily killed this visitor and taken the teeth for himself, but, well, he's clearly mad.Some cool little tidbits of environmental storytelling in this place. At the front door, we see behind BMO a potted plant that's just beginning to go, with a trowel on the ground. At Gumbald's desk, there's a dead flower laying right there - and it was actually "alive," like it had a mouth and shit. So, someone, probably the aunt, is trying to keep the place alive in some way, keeping it look nice, while Gumbald is completely consumed in his work. Kind of like Bonnibel, eh? Except a much darker parallel that isn't for the good of people.Gumbald has unsettling tastes in decor. He has this garish furniture symbolizing a ram, or an ibex, and a dismembered statue of a man and woman. I don't want to get super analytical about that statue, it could very well be just a piece of decor, but given his goals it feels like this echoes his plans to rip his enemies apart: Finn and Bonnie.Rams symbolize leadership, determination, and action. All of these relate to Gumbald pretty well. They are also a symbol of Satan - also pretty accurate.I like how it's Ice King who worries for how Finn will feel about losing his teeth, but BMO only cares about his game.The teeth were obviously very important mementos for Finn, and BMO sold them without much care. This calls back to that subconscious fear BMO had in his nightmare from Orb - how, he sees himself as AMO, selfish and hurting Finn and Jake, but they still like him. This isn't the first time BMO's caused trouble for the boys because of his games; I don't think we'll get this addressed, but it could be building up to finally confronting this issue. Because now we have something that can't be fixed.I like how Jake thinks for a moment, acting as the mediator to keep everyone calm and think of a rational way of solving this. Cloudy really changed my perception of Jake after I first watched it - really showed that his "cool older brother" persona, while genuine, is just a covering for an individual who's wise and perceptive, even more so than Finn sometimes.Why does it suddenly get dark in the Tree Fort when the Baby Tooth Finns attack? That's so odd haha.Speaking of odd, what the blood is this? I loved how absolutely absurd the climax of this episode was - it felt like a spiritual callback to the early show, and how Bubblegum would make zany scenarios out of a miscalculation.So, judging from these things, they're supposed to kill Finn and replace him: they bite everything (like toothing babies) and one tried climbing inside his mouth. Gumbald intended for them to be grown, had they not come from baby teeth.I think he tried cloning Finn, but because he only had toothy material to work with, that's what they came out as: pure calcium."These baby-smashing hammers are great!"So, something cool about Gumbald's outfit is he looks very lordly. He didn't wear this when he died, so it looks like this outfit is what he made and plans to wear when/if he usurps Bonnie.To close off here, let's talk about the title. "Always Be Closing" is a term used in, what else, the world of a salespeople. It's a strategy in which a salesperson is looking for new prospects, ways to achieve these prospects, and complete a sale - while at the same time being aware when they've lost, and when to cut their losses and move on to the next venture.Now, it's easy to just say, "Oh they chose that because BMO is a salesman here and the title made a pun," but I feel like making BMO's newest "prospect" a salesman was a deliberate choice. Take BMO's entire deal, replace the word "salesman" with him in my explanation of the phrase "Always Be Closing," and you'll see that all of BMO's ventures akin to a salesman's are his imagination games. He's always moving on to the next after each successful "sale," but now, here, he really donked up. Although they were able to handle the attack just fine, BMO still ended up selling something that had a lot of sentimental value. We've yet to see whether Bonnie finding out about Gumbald through this incident will yield good fortune or not. For all we know, Gumbald could have given this monogram'd cup to BMO on purpose, perhaps to lure Finn and Princess to him and into a trap. We won't know until the next set of episodes!Hope you enjoyed my breakdown of this episode - it's a fun one. Nothing very special about it, it's the weakest of the four to me but that doesn't mean it's bad.I'm not sure if I will be able to do Son of Rap Bear tomorrow, but definitely Thursday if you don't see it then. I've been busy enough today as it is - I finished this across three separate sessions. We'll see.Have a nice day/evening!
