@mrstsung here. Hee hee.
Gonna be the first ask. I'll keep it simple.
GN pronouns. :3 <3
What fluffy hcs you got for shang tsung,raiden,fujin,and kung lao?
SORRY this took a bit to answer lol (got distracted)
Shang tsung:
Tumblr media
usually this man pulls out the klassic nicknames a villain of his stature would give. "Darling" "love" "my dear" "my flower" but there would be one little nickname he'll give only to one who has his heart and soul. "Little mao mao" (which is "meow" in Chinese. Like "nya" is meow in Japanese)
Shang tsung sings and dances really good, however he doesn't like to do this in front of ANYONE. He feels insecure in an odd way, highly unusual for someone so full of himself. Perhaps such a simple, genuine, innocuous and human act would tarnish his reputation of "evil sorcerer". Perhaps he doesn't wish to be made fun of for something he genuinely and deeply enjoys.
If shang tsung's beloved is sick, he will strongly fret over them. He'll be annoyed like "clearly you should take better care of yourself" and bombard them with the finest medicine and highest quality tea and tiger balm (works wonders). He may appear annoyed and inconvenienced but really he's screaming on the inside bc that's the only person he ever gave half a shit about, let alone a whole shit about. Shang tsung will have what he desires and not even the elder gods are gonna take his beloved away without a fight.
Raiden:
Tumblr media
Raiden takes note of how people like their tea or (elder gods forbid) coffee, and makes sure to make it exactly how they like it. Also raiden has a disdain for drinking coffee himself, despite liking the smell of it. Regardless of how much he shit talks sonya for drinking coffee, if he's making drinks he'll make it how she likes it. Pitch black with only half a spoon of sugar.
Raiden picks up modern day jokes just enough to have a basic understanding, and its not hard for him to get it as humans often repeat history a lot. So occasionally if someone tries to hit him with a "bofa" joke, he knows how to turn it around. All gods like to troll mortals every now and then. Wouldn't you if you were eons old?
Raiden might be serious at times, but will always indulge a tiny child's wish to play around. He knows when a kid wants to hide his hat away to spend more time with him and raiden pretends to totally not see the obvious place it's hidden at. Children's laughter always warms his heart and its hard for him to not smile at such sweet innocence only a kid could have.
Fujin:
Tumblr media
Likes to make paper cranes and use the wind to blow them around, occasionally making tons of origami animals to create a scene with wind blowing them to life.
Some memes fujin gets and other times it flys quite literally over his head. Many times the victim of cassie cage's classic "master bofa detsu" joke. And yet surprises everyone with an "amongus" joke.
As a wind god and protector of earthrealm, it's not his only job, For annoying his brother by touching his stuff is what any good sibling does. Fujin bangs on raiden's taiko drums when raiden specifically tells him NOT to TOUCH. Fujin has been struck by many a thunder and lightning, but it's worth it.
Kung lao:
Tumblr media
He takes good care of the rabbit in his hat (yes he does absolutely have a rabbit in his hat) and doesn't even mind it's actually a demon trapped in the body of a fluffy rabbit. For it befriended the great kung lao a long time ago and attached itself to his hat (that is now kung lao's, which has been modified with the blade)
Kung lao likes to whittle wood. He's very good at making tons of small wooden figures. One time, he and night wolf spent half an entire day making small wooden animals and talking about many things. Kung lao has made an entire wooden train track, complete with a wooden train. And it's his greatest creation.
Kung lao likes hip hop and rap, it surprises everyone except liu kang, who shares his taste. Although liu kang prefers old school rap. They both love dancing and if given the opportunity, tear up the dancefloor like nobody's business.

An open letter to the Robot Chicken crew about the Ice Age movies.
TL;DR: I want the robot chicken crew to show Sid the Sloth from the Ice Age movies to blow a dude. Hello. I want to talk about Ice Age, both the 2002 Blue Skies Movie and the franchise that is still ongoing. Before I do so, I recognize that Sony, and by extensions HBO, Adult Swim, and all the shows and production companies that go with them, have no relation to the movie franchise originally produced by 20th Century Fox Studios and its current parent company Disney. I also recognize that for legal reasons, the propositions I am about to make may not be considered at all even if the Ice Age franchise wasn't caught up in the modern movie monopoly mess (try saying that 5 times fast!). Nevertheless, the proposition I make to the robot chicken crew, whether it includes Seth Green and Matthew Senreich themselves or any member of the production teams, must be stated as what I am about to say cannot and will not be performed by the people who create these movies, for reasons I will later elaborate. To be clear, I do not seek any credit or compensation for these proposals. I do not care if these actually get uses. I do not ask for residuals, I do not wish my name mentioned in the credits of any episodes. I do not wish to be @ed in any social media sites. At best, I expect only a well written rejection letter and at worst a widespread ban from contacting any email addresses or social media platforms under anyone from the Robot Chicken Crew to even everyone working under Sony. Beginning with some context, I consider myself a bit of an outcast. I've never been "hip with it" both as a child and now as an aging husk of a human being reaching 26 years. When it comes to memes, I'm usually falling behind, only getting into the joke long after it becomes, what I believe the kids call "cringe as hell". Normally, I'm okay with this, but two particular memes from the past couple of years caught me off guard. The first is the Ice Age baby. Dispute watching the 2002 movie around the time it came out, i could not for the life of me even remember that baby even being in the movie. For very sad reasons I won't elaborate on, I recall watching Ice Age 2: The Meltdown far more times as a child than the original CGI animated film by Blue Skies. But so what? It's a weird looking baby from a 20 year old movie that I haven't seen in a while. No big deal, right? That's certainly what I thought. But eventually, I hear a relatively popular song used in some Tic Tok videos (I don't use Tic Tok, myself. Again, outsider). It was kinda funny, but it just sounded familiar... I couldn't put my finger on it. "Did I hear it from an animated movie? Was it Brother Bear?" I thought. I tried looking up "On My Way", but it was by Phil Collins, it wasn't the song. Then I see "Send me on my way" by Rusted Root. And there it was! I tell my girlfriend about how I had some trouble finding the song, and she says something that absolutely shattered my mind. "Oh yeah! The song from Ice Age!" These words drove me down a path of madness. I was compelled to watch a movie that I haven't seen in years, not for nostalgia, not for fun, but to avoid another amnesiac gut punch in the off chance another Ice Age meme shows up on my timeline! So okay, I started binging on some mediocre movies. Why am I bothering the Robot Chicken crew about this? Simply put, there are two issues I've noticed that the Ice Age franchise suffers from that I don't think the makers of the movies are brave enough to do. The Series needs an Aggressively Gay Scene! After the first movie, there's a trend that occurs where each of the male leads, hell each of the male characters in the movie series, gets a carbon copy female counterpart. Like Adam, each of these poor souls have a rib removed from their bodies so that a horrible simulacrum can be produced for the purpose of a heterosexual romantic plot. The only way the series could be redeemed somehow is by having a romantic story between two characters of the same sex ending up together, perhaps an enemies to lovers plot since people eat that shit up. But I think we all know that won't happen under Disney, at least not as a feature length plot. That's where I think you, the Robot Chicken crew, with your raunchy and deprived humor can come in. What I'm proposing to you is what I believe can get rid of this horrid taste of heterosexuality that's been in everyone's mouths from watching this movie, and that is to have Sid the Sloth approach a random male sloth, pull down his pants and suck him off dry for 2 whole minutes without any prior context. And when he's done playing the sloth skin flute he returns to Manny the Mammoth and Diego the Tiger, saying "Just needed to get that out of my system, let's go" and with no other word, they continue their journey with 2 seconds of "Send Me On My Way" playing in the background before transitioning to the next sketch. Without the dedication to write a full romance plot line, I believe the only other way to get this heterosexual taste out of everyone's mouth is to watch Sid the Sloth wash his with sloth sausage. And I think the only people who can pull off this stunt is the people who made a sketch of Buzz Lightyear getting lobotomized so he could be used as a bong. If you've made it this far, Thank you. You could have stopped after seeing how long this was, and you could have just close the tab after seeing the phrase "sloth skin flute". But the fact that you stuck it through this far deserves more than what my gratitude can offer. I don't expect Seth Green, or Matthew Senreich, or anybody really to make this wild request a reality. But if you made it this far at least, I just want to thank you so much in indulging me. If by any chance anyone from the Robot Chicken crew sees this, I expect either my rejection letter or possibly a cease and desist from either them or more likely from Disney. Either way, I'm happy to just get this off my chest. I appreciate your time. Sincerely and possibly crying for help, Anthony

Yesss you're also playing! I gotta go with accidentally married and body swap. Godspeed.
I’ll admit, you stumped me for a bit with this one. Then the ship happened, this is like, two steps to the side of what you asked for, and it got wacky from there, but hey, it was fun! Hopefully you enjoy too!
For this trope mashup meme. Pairing is Cody/Quinlan, because I aim to please. ^_^
Commander Cody was almost THE worst possible choice for partner on this clusterfuck of a mission. Worst would have to be Yoda – there was no possible way he could go undercover, except maybe as a Jawa and that was just asking for at least seven different kinds of trouble. Then Aayla, not because she’d be bad at it, but because Quinlan was a protective bastard and historically their undercover missions hadn’t gone well. Obi-Wan would be third worst, because he was needed to fight the damn war, and that overcompensating jerk was responsible for at least one entire front.
Also, he’d be an insufferable asshole the entire time.
The problem with Commander Cody was that he was probably at least as responsible for another front, if not all the logistics for Obi-Wan’s bullshit while Kenobi was off fucking around the galaxy after his padawan and a half.
There were theories – rumors, really – that clones imprinted on their Jedi. Rumors that Quinlan totally believed, because there was no possible way, Force or no Force, that you could cram that much bastard into two men like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody by chance. That much snark and assholery could only be malice aforethought.
Very good reasons that neither man had been included in the plan. And it had gone so well at first! Disguises, check. Pretend to murder Master Tholme (sneaky bastard had been giggling for days over the opportunity to go deep undercover on his own missions) and shoot Master Drallig (poor bastard needed a vacation that badly) – check! Get captured alive by the Coruscant Guard and tossed in prison – done with minimal bungling.
Making friends with Cad Bane and Moralo Eval didn’t go quite as smoothly, but Quinlan was good at his job,  so when they busted out of jail Quinlan was ostensibly part of the crew.
That was when things went to shit. Between the jail and the get-away vehicle, they’d run across a patrol of clones in off-duty grays. There’d been a heartbreaking moment for them all to stare at each other in astonishment, just long enough for Quinlan to recognize the scar. Bad enough there was going to be yet another squad of dead soldiers, which he was very much not a fan of, but now the body count was going to include...someone he was very much a fan of being not-dead.
Then Commander fucking Cody had drawn a blaster and stunned the rest of his squad, planting hands on hips and scolding Quinlan about how he was at least fifteen minutes early and what kind of a breakout was this?
Vos still wasn’t sure how that ended up with Cody traipsing along, with Bane and Eval being thoroughly convinced that he was some random rogue clone who’d been having some kind of torrid affair with Quinlan. Cody almost had Vos convinced that he’d been ready to bust Quinlan out, and that had nothing to do with how Cody’s method of swaying Eval involved sticking a blaster up the bastard’s nose.
It absolutely wasn’t hot. Not at all.
He’d been dumb enough to relax a little when they took a pit stop to gear up. Some two-bit wannabe sniper had dared to get up into the Commander’s face – the clone was the one walking away with some new gear, a mock swagger, and a joke that he might as well take the idiot’s identity, if he was gonna be that lax about shit.
Still absolutely not hot.
On the upside, the new gear meant Cody got away when they landed on Serenno – at least, Quinlan thought he got away. He’d been busy at the time with the obvious downside: Dooku recognized Quinlan.
Con: Vos got captured and dragged off to a carbonite unit to sit and stew until Dooku’s...thing, whatever it was, was over.
Pro: he saw the freezer before getting tossed into it.
Who the fuck knows: there were at least two stray tookas in the area, and one of the little fuckers tried to trip Vos and all four of his guards on the way in.
Con: he still ended up on ice.
It wasn’t like he had a plan, but desperation could pass as genius if you squinted at it hard enough. And using the Force to toss a part of himself into the tooka that’d tripped him was definitely worth squinting at.
Better than studying his normal self, frozen in a block of tibanna. That was beyond creepy.
Not that he’d ever admit it to anyone, but Quinlan was genuinely worried, and the whole mission had gone so damn pear shaped he had no idea if anything was recoverable – including them.
Well, no better time to shit stir. Quinlan scuttled off to go looking for trouble.
The great thing about paranoid, power-mad bookish types was that they took notes. The smart ones prepared blackmail. Vos had a lot of things to say about Dooku, but dumb wasn’t one of them.
On the truly awesome side: he could sense Sithy wards in a lot of places, but tookas didn’t set them off because cats would get into whatever they damned well pleased – meaning Dooku had totally on accident handed Quinlan the metaphorical keys to the castle. If he’d still had opposable thumbs, this would have been perfect!
Well. Aside from the whole Chancellor-being-a-Sith-Lord-and-behind-the-entire-fucking-war thing.
Force, it was hard to stay positive for long nowadays.
Vos gave a quick, full body shake – wow, fluff was not a thing he expected to have happen – and got back to work. When he was done, he sauntered into the hallways with a whole collection of datacards tucked into a half-assed collar that had used to be a fancy curtain restraint. He was more concerned with keeping everything secure than it looking reasonable – after all, what cat would try putting on some kind of collar? Anyone looking at him funny would blame some kid or something.
If anyone asked, Quinlan had already prepared explanations of how he tracked down Commander Cody’s Force presence. He absolutely did not track his scent. That would be weird.
(To be fair, Quinlan did start by tracking him in the Force. It just hadn’t lasted the entire time.)
He found the commander lurking back near the area with the cryo setup, tucked behind some crates with several bodies nearby. Most were dead, though one or two were stunned, gagged, and trussed up with more binders than might be necessary.
Not hot. Really.
Quinlan considered his options, then planted his fuzzy rump almost next to Cody, craning as if to look over the crate as well. “Mrp?” It wasn’t quite the ‘whatcha doing?’ that he would’ve liked to go for, but close enough.
It earned him a classic side-eye. When it was clear Cody was going to try the ‘ignore the annoyance’ routine, Quinlan reared up to plant his paws against the crate and look over it.
Ah. They were watching the carbonite slabs that were stacked off to the side. Presumably, Vos’ own body was there. He hissed without meaning to, not happy about the reminder.
“Not now, cat,” Cody whispered right back, waving a hand to try to shoo him away. Quinlan shot him a look. Local animal flees from packing crates, investigation at eleven. Any idiot who saw that would at least consider that something had startled the animal in the first place.
Ok, fine: cat. Anything could set off a cat. His point still stood!
From the angle of his helmet, Cody was glaring back at him, then there was a small huff before the Commander went back to studying the area. Oh, Quinlan was not about to play this game.
He considered for half a second doing some typically catty gesture of disdain, but he was not about to be licking anything, even to make a point. Instead, he minced in a near circle, sitting directly in front of the Commander. He meowed, because throat clearing didn’t seem to be a thing cats could do.
That got him a quick glance, then there was a full-body pause as in the Force, Cody almost jangled with sudden suspicion. Quinlan hoped he was showing the cat-equivalent of a huge-ass smirk as Cody sloooowly looked over at him.
“General?” he asked, sounding annoyed and the kind of exhausted usually reserved for annoying toddlers.
Vos didn’t even try to stop a satisfied swish of his tail before flicking an ear and nodding.
Cody put his head in his hands. “...I’m not even gonna ask.”
Quinlan gave him another moment, then popped back to his feet and headed around the crate. After a beat, there was a long-suffering sigh behind him. “Yeah, okay. Let’s get your body back, and if you ever tell Kenobi I said that, no one will ever find your body.”
Quinlan let a little roll into his step, giving an insolent flip of the tail. Sounded like after they figured out this mess, he owed the Commander a nice dinner somewhere.
He didn’t need the incentive, but it sure helped.

This cured my boredom for a little bit. Was making a few new music playlists and thought.. hmm. I wonder what kind of music the RFA listens to? So, I made this. For no reason at all.
What Kind of Music the RFA + V/Saeran Listen To:
Saeyoung/707:
- (I always see people writing that he’d listen to all star or other cringe meme songs because that’s what seems to be his entire personality, but I like to think he has more substance than that and listens to songs that don’t have to do with memes.)
- He definitely listens to rap/hip-hop.
- Can you not imagine him driving down the road in his cars, windows down, music blasting?
- He listens to his music uber loud in his headphones while working.
- His favorite artist is probably Tyler the creator, i mean, how could you not love him.
- Listens to Mac Miller when he’s sad :(

Zen:
- (Similar to Saeyoung, I don’t believe Zens entire personality revolves around musicals, he probably doesn’t listen to them that often imo.)
- I like to think he’s a... well rounded individual when it comes to music
- Listens to anything and everything.
- I could see him listening to the same music as Seven, but is also very into 70s-90s rock like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the like.
- He runs listening to all of his music on shuffle and doesn’t have a specific playlist so there’s never a certain vibe to it— it really is all over the place.
- In addition to Seven’s playlist, here’s Zen’s

Yoosung:
- Yoosung likes more upbeat music, maybe more new age/alternative pop
- Listens to music every time he tries to study, but usually get distracted by it and starts to sing along instead of actually doing his work
- Is probably trying to branch out of his style, Seven and Zen try to convince him to listen to their favorite genres
- The three of them always argue about who has the best taste in music lol
- He’s constantly wondering if his music is “manly” enough (it’s okay yoosung it’s just music)
- If this dude gets drunk and hears any of this music he goes absolutely wild and dances all over the place

Tattoo artist/ florist au part (1) 2
Sumarry: As it turns out, both Jaskier and Geralt have some very perceptive women in their lives. Jaskier vents about his crush to Ciri while Yennefer tries to pry something out of Geralt about his.
As it turns out Ciri was extremely perceptive and knew something was up the minute she walked back into the shop. Jaskier was standing in the middle of the floor leaning on his brush with that lovestruck look on his face that she’d seen a million times before.
“Who do you have a crush on now?” She demanded, rolling her eyes as the brush slipped from its position and he almost fell.
“What? Me? A crush? Pffft, don’t be ridiculous Ciri, I’m too old for crushes.” He babbled in his defence. Damn her, smart little shit. He needed to get off this topic before she could weasel the truth out of him. She had a knack for reading him like a book, just like her mother. “Anyway, where’s my coffee, I’m thirsty.”
“Yeah you are thirsty.” Ciri snorted at the affronted sound her uncle made as he snatched the iced coffee form her and took a gulp. “It’s the hot tattoo guy from next door, isn’t it?” She asked, innocently sipping on her frappuccino.
Jaskier promptly spat his coffee all over himself, all over the floor, and almost all over Ciri, if she hadn’t tactically stepped back before she said anything. “What? Hot...Tattoo…Don’t be…CIRILLA CINTRA!” He spluttered. He knew by the smirk on her face that he wasn’t fooling her for a second. “How do you even know about him? I only just met him! And what do you mean hot? He’s waaaay too old for you!” He fussed about trying to find something to clean himself with as Ciri just laughed at him. Little brat.
Ciri was in stitches. Jaskier was so easy to wind up. “I saw him walk out of the shop, like, two seconds ago, genius. And I’ve seen him around, he does work next door you know.” She sassed him. Of course she’d seen him, the guy wasn’t exactly hard to miss. “And as for him being hot, I’m seventeen not fucking blind. And I meant that you thought he was hot, judging by that dumb, lovestruck look on your face.”
“I did not have a dumb, lovestruck look on my face.” Jaskier huffed, crossing his arms like a child. He almost felt betrayed that Ciri hadn’t told him about the new neighbours if she supposedly knew so much about them. Especially when their new neighbour was so hot… Fuck! He could see Ciri giving him a sceptical look. He stuck his tongue out at her. “I didn’t. I was just… thinking.”
Ciri snorted, “Yeah, thinking about how hot he is. You’re not fooling anyone, uncle Jaskier, least of all me.” She rolled her eyes once more for good measure and went to find a mop to clean up the spilled coffee. When she came back Jaskier was dabbing at himself with a tissue absently, with that dreamy look in his eye again. She gave an extremely put-on long-suffering sigh. “Okay, tell me about him.” She demanded.
His eyes snapped up in surprise. “What?” he squawked. “What do you mean tell you about him?”
If Ciri rolled her eyes any harder she’d flip the world upside down. “I mean you need to vent and I’m volunteering to listen to your lovesick ramblings.” She finished cleaning up the coffee and hopped up on the counter. She shuffled to get comfy. “Okay, now go.”
His mouth flapped open and closed like a fish before he gave in. This is what they did. If either of them found a new interest or had a bad day or, in this case, had a crush, one would listen while the other vented. He trusted that although she may ridicule him, she would take his secrets to the grave. And he hers. His thoughts drifted back to Geralt. He hardly knew the man but he was intrigued. He wanted to know more. He wanted to know the person behind the frankly gorgeous exterior. “Where to begin?” He sighed.
“Maybe with his name?” Ciri suggested cheekily, earning a pointed look form her uncle which she returned with a more mocking air to it.
“Geralt Rivia.” The first time the name passed his lips it was like opening the flood gates for a multitude of romantic fantasies. It was like he was an enamoured tween, scribbling Geralt’s name with his in a secret note book over and over with pink sparkly gel pen that smelled like strawberries surrounding it with love hearts and flowers. He didn’t even realise how caught up in his thoughts he’d become until Ciri cleared her throat.
Oh gods, her uncle had it bad. He’d only met the guy once but he couldn’t even say his name without drifting off to Lalaland. She tried hard not to scoff at him, she was the one who you would expect to sigh dreamily over boys, not him. “So, he has a name. Cool. And?” She made a sort of ‘get on with it’ type gesture.
Jaskier made an affronted noise. “And? And! Have you seen him Ciri? He’s magnificent. He looks like some kind of lesser known deity, and I would happily bow down and worship him.” Now he was getting started, he couldn’t stop the stream of Geralt’s praise that flowed form his lips. “Don’t get me started about his hair! I bet when its down its soft and flowy and frames his face perfectly. I could sit and play with it for hours. I know he’s not my usual type but come on! He’s got a kind of rugged charm about him, with his tattoos and his muscles and his jawline, ugh I could cut myself just looking at that jawline. And he’s, how the kids say, thicc.”
“Uncle Jaskier!” Ciri exclaimed through her giggles. Old people trying to be cool were hilarious. “I knew I’d regret teaching you modern slang.”
“Hey, I’m cool! I can be down with the kids.” Jaskier grinned at her. “With your meemees and your snappy chats.”
“They’re called memes Jaskier! And you know that!” Ciri countered, still laughing. After they’d both recomposed themselves after their fit of giggles Ciri leaned back on her hands and grinned at her uncle. “Are you done with your ode to Geralt yet or do you have more to add?”
“I’m sure there’s more I can say. Where was I? Ah, him being thicc.” This caused another round of giggles between them. “Seriously though Ciri, he has no business being that handsome.”
Ciri rolled her eyes again, seriously that girl is going to get eye strain, like damn! “Okay, he’s handsome, I get it.” There was only so much she could listen to. “So why was he even here?”
“Alas my knight in ripped jeans didn’t come to sweep me off my feet, if that’s what you mean. He came for inspiration for a tattoo.” Jaskier sighed, wishing he had been the reason for Geralt’s visit. However, this made him remember something that gave him back some of his enthusiasm. “But he’s coming back my dear Ciri! Perhaps it was fate that we had no sunflowers left because he’s coming back on Monday when we restock!”
“Oh joy!” Ciri imitated sarcastically, over-exaggerating the way she bounced in excitement as he had. “Maybe this time you can profess your undying love and ride off into the sunset.” She teased.
Jaskier pouted dramatically and crossed his arms. “Ha-ha Ciri, you’re so funny. I’ll have you know I already have a plan.”
“Really, let me guess.” she scoffed, “You’re going to take him on a moon-lit picnic and braid flowers into his hair. You’ll serenade him as you walk down the beach before dropping to one knee and professing your undying love for him and begging him to elope with you. You’ll be happy in a hidden cottage in the woods while you grow your own vegetables and talk to the forest animals. And even though its hard work and the nights are cold, you won’t care because you’ll have him to keep you safe and warm.” She paused her mocking rant to glance at Jaskier’s reaction. He had his hands on his hips and a was gaping at her. She laughed. “Too much?”
He rolled his eyes. “No, those were all lovely ideas for me to file away for later.” He snarked back at her. “My plan is to be myself and get to know him.”
Ciri’s gaze softened. “Okay, that sounds like a good start.” She smiled. “Just…if find that you really like him… don’t let your pining get out of hand, okay?”
Jaskier’s heart clenched. “Okay. No being a pining mess this time.” He was glad she was trying to look after him. He had been reckless with his heart in the past, too fast to fall in love and too fast to have his love thrown back in his face.
“Sooo...” Ciri broke the moment of silence between them. “Shall we close the shop and get home for Saturday night movie night?”
~~~
Geralt couldn’t help it as the corners of his mouth twitched upward as he left the flower shop at the thought of the chipper man he left behind. He took a short stroll around the block, familiarising himself with his surroundings. Although, throughout his walk his mind kept wandering to Jaskier. It was strange. Geralt was a large man, tall and muscular, covered in tattoos and piercings, wrapped in black leather. Now that was enough for some people to stay well clear of him, those with more… conservative, values. And with a glare that could kill at close range and a general ‘don’t fuck with me’ aura Geralt found he intimidated most people he met. But...this adorable man had grinned and joked like he hadn’t been the slightest bit fazed by any of it. He found it baffling, and a little attractive to be honest.
Before long he ended up back at his shop to find Yennefer waiting for him. She was perched on one of the sofas in the waiting area, flicking through her phone, probably updating the shop’s Instagram with new photos of his work. She barely more than looked up at him.
“Enjoy your little walk dear?” she asked nonchalantly, still scrolling through her phone. She only received a grunt in response but Yennefer had known Geralt long enough to understand his language of grunts and hmm’s. She lowered her phone as he sat down beside him. “Did you find any pretty flowers?” she said knowingly.
Geralt’s eyes snapped to meet hers as he schooled his face to appear unconcerned. How did she know? Could she really read him that well? “I don’t know what you mean Yen.” He stated gruffly, pulling his phone out of his pocket so the look in his eyes didn’t give him away even further.
Yennefer huffed out a laugh. “Don’t play dumb with me Geralt. I wondered how long it would take you to notice the boy next door.” She was met with only the sound of Geralt’s fingers tapping at his phone. “He’s cute, I suppose. In a delicate, flower-y kind of way.” She continued, “Not your usual type though.”
Geralt realised then he wasn’t going to escape this conversation. Yen could be annoyingly persistent and it was easier to give in now than waste energy trying to avoid the inevitable. “What would you know about my taste in men Yen? I haven’t had a boyfriend since …before us.” The truth was Jaskier was exactly his type; lithe body and a pretty face, with a charming grin and soft eyes that held just a glint of mischief.
“That’s an exaggeration and you know it, what about… you know… what’s his name? In the band?” Yennefer offered. She knew he was right… in a way. While Yennefer knew his taste in women very well, herself having been one of the women who he’d been drawn to once upon a time however, in the time she’d know him, he had had much more luck with women than men. But that wasn’t to say there’d been no men in his life.
“Doesn’t count. Sleeping with him hardly makes him my boyfriend. He was a narcissistic prick anyway.” Geralt grumbled. That man was definitely not his type, he couldn’t even remember his name, nor did he care to.
“Oh, so now you’re a romantic?” She scoffed. “But you must have found him at least somewhat attractive to sleep with him, right?” She raised an eyebrow. She knew Geralt. He didn’t go around sleeping with people for the sake of it.
“Objectively.” He grunted in response, folding his arms across his chest.
“Objectively, of course.” She parroted back at him. “So, do you find Julian attractive, more than just objectively?” She wore at cat-like grin as she watched Geralt’s reaction intently.
“Have you been stalking me?” he asked suspiciously. His eyes widened. “Have you been stalking him? Yen you can’t just do that, that’s really creepy.”
Yennefer rolled her eyes. “I haven’t been stalking either of you, you dolt!” she smacked him upside the head. “I found his name on the website for the flower shop, which I glanced at out of curiosity. And I knew you’d like him the minute I saw him but I didn’t say anything because if you thought I was trying to set you up you’d decide what he was like in your head before you met him.” She put her hands on her hips and gave him a look that dared him to deny it.
He sighed and scrubbed a hand over his face. Damn her for being right. “Whatever.” He grunted, not meeting her gaze. He knew she would only encourage him to pursue this. He wanted to, but he was afraid. Afraid of having his heart broken again. Of Jaskier becoming just another her. It would be better to nip this in the bud.
“That’s not an answer Geralt.” She pressed, her stare never wavering.
“Ugh!” He groaned, pulling his hair down from its bun so he could rake his hands through it. “Fine. He’s …alright, I guess. Whatever.” He told himself he was only saying it to satisfy her, to get her to drop it. He was lying to himself. Jaskier was gorgeous, but Yen didn’t need to know that or she’d never let him let it go like he should.
Yennefer grinned triumphantly. She knew Geralt better than anyone, he was smitten, she could tell. “See, that wasn’t so hard.” She teased. “Now you’ve actually admitted it, why don’t you do something about it?”
“Yennefer.” He growled in warning. “You know why.” She of all people should know exactly why he was guarding his heart so fiercely. She had been there as he tried to gather up the shattered pieces of his heart and stick them back together. But after something breaks once, it will never be as strong again. There will always be a weak spot, somewhere, no matter how small or hidden it is. Geralt’s heart was no exception. She had been his everything, once. He’d given her everything he had to give but it wasn’t enough. It was never enough. He’d given her his heart and she’d chewed it up and spat it back out at his feet. After months of wallowing in self-pity, he’d finally managed to heal some. Geralt was terrified that he’d have to start the process all over again.
Yennefer’s expression softened as she stepped forward to rest hand on his shoulder. “Geralt. Look at me.” She coaxed his chin up to look him in the eye. “She is gone. That toxic bitch is not in your life anymore. But if you let what she did define who you are now, if you let her stop you living your own life, then you’ll never truly be free from her. And she wins. You need to forget her. I know you’ve been trying; I know it’s hard and you’re not the best at emotions. But if you like him, don’t let anyone hold you back, especially not her.” She felt him tug her into his arms and she went willingly, stroking his hair as he embraced her.
“I’m meeting him again on Monday.” He murmured into her hair. He let out one last deep sigh before releasing her and stepping back. “They’re getting more sunflowers in; they were sold out today. For that floral piece I’m designing.” He was still trying to convince himself that was the only reason.
Yennefer smiled. “Whatever excuse you have to tell yourself dear.” She teased, moving to grab her stuff.
“It’s the truth Yen. Jaskier suggested it not me.” Damn her for being able to see through his bullshit.
Her grin widened. “Jaskier? My, my Geralt, how forward, nicknames and a pre-work rendezvous, I expect you’ll be late on Monday then?” She cackled when he threw a magazine at her off the table. “You can tell me all about it after. See you Monday.” She called, walking out the door before he could protest.
Geralt stood a moment longer before locking the door behind her. He put the shutter down and headed upstairs to his apartment to be alone with his thoughts, which kept returning to an image of sparkling blue eyes and a charming smile. Fuck.

In the Tub
Pairing: Steve x Reader, with a fun appearance from Sam and Bucky
Word Count: 1040
Summary: The Golden Girls (Steve, Buck, and Sam), have a little too much fun. It is really so stupid. I could not stop thinking about it, and quite frankly, it is well, and truly, ridiculous. 
Warnings: Drug use, but it’s not crazy or anything. 
Tumblr media
When you walked into the kitchen, you were expecting literally anything else. But there they were – Thing One and Thing Two. Bucky and Sam sat on the floor, with their backs against the counter, watching the Harley Quinn animated series and spooning peanut butter out of the jar. 
Stopped in the doorway you said, “Boys? What’s going on in here?”
Bucky looked up at you, eyes red, and gave a lazy smile, “Want some peanut butter?”
Sam looked over once he realized Bucky was talking to someone else and said, “Ohhhh, shit. Here comes you!”
You ignored Bucky’s question, and you tried to hold back your laughter, “Yeah, Sam. Here comes me.”
You walked into the room, and opened the fridge to grab the bottle of iced tea you’d come in for, “So. Who’s idea was it to get high?” 
“WHAT?” Bucky shouted, “I’m not high. I’m low.” He said, drawing out the word as he sunk his body further onto the ground until he was laying completely flat. Sam threw his head back laughing, and accidentally hit it against the cabinets underneath the counter. You saw what remained of chocolate edibles, the wrappers laying next to a bag of Cheetos. 
“Jesus Christ. Okay, boys. Either of you seen Stevie?”
“He’s in your room, I think,” Sam said rubbing the back of his head. 
“My room? Why’s he in my room?”
“He was talking about your bathtub, and stuff.”
“My bathtub? What the fu-“ You didn’t even finish before you turned and left, heading to your room.
When you opened the door, you could already smell your lavender bubble bath. The door to the bathroom was open, and you could hear Mariah Carey playing over the speakers. Mariah Carey?
“Hey, Steve?” You said and crept towards the bathroom, “What’re you doing in there?” 
If you thought seeing Sam and Bucky was a surprising, then this was something else entirely. This was just absurd. You had walked straight into the twilight zone. There was Steve, singing quietly along to “We Belong Together,” fully dressed and in the bathtub. In grey sweatpants, and a white t-shirt, there was a light coating of bubbles scattered throughout the tub, and an enormous pile of bubbles sitting in your sink. He had on sunglasses OVER a sheet mask, and absolutely none of it felt real. You turned the music off. 
“Steve. Just... what?” It was incredible. Absolutely incredible. 
Steve looked over at you, standing in the doorway, “Hey there, pretty girl.”
You couldn’t help that easy comfort that filled your body at the sound of his voice, “Hey there, handsome man. Think you can tell me what exactly you’re doing in my bathtub?”
He lowered his sunglasses like he thought he was the cool kid in an 80s movie. And in the most surreal moment you thought you might ever experience, global superhero Captain America said, “I’m washing me and my clothes.” 
He looked around to make sure no one else would see him when he mouthed, “Bitch.”
 You twisted the cap off your tea and took a sip, “Uh huh. Okay. Uh huh. Yeah, okay. Alright. So you wanna tell me, who the fuck taught you that?”
He giggled, a real little kid giggle, and said, “Peter sends me memes. Says it’ll keep me hip.”
You threw your head back and laughed at that, “Of course he does.” 
You went and sat on the edge of the tub,  placing your tea by the sink, “How long you been in here?”
He shrugged, stupid smile on his face. You felt the water and it was still pretty warm, so you figured it couldn’t have been too long. 
“Uh huh. What about that face mask? You had that on for more than fifteen minutes, you think?” 
With the same stupid smile he said, “Maybe.”
You shook your head, took his sunglasses off, and peeled the face mask off of him. He whined the whole time. 
“Yeah, yeah, stop complaining. You about ready to get out of the bath?” 
He sighed, “I guess. Can we take a real bath tomorrow though? I like when we do that, and you let me wash your hair, and then you wash mine. It feels nice.”
He leaned his head back against the wall, and just looked at you. His pretty girl. You gave him that fond smile, the one reserved just for him and said, “Yeah, Stevie, we can do that.” 
Content with that response, he stood up, absolutely sopping wet, and stepped out of the tub.
“Oh, Steve, come on!” You put your head in your hands as he soaked the floor. Once he stood on the rug, he started undressing so he could towel himself off. 
While he was busy you threw his clothes in the hamper, and went out to get him a pair of the boxers he kept in your dresser. He said thanks when you handed them to him, “I know we usually sleep in my room, but can we just stay here please? My room is so far.” 
“Yeah, we’ll sleep here tonight. Let’s get ready now though.”
So you changed into pajamas, and you after dealing with all the bubbles in the sink, you both brushed your teeth before climbing into bed. Steve was still pretty high, lying under your sheets, laughing at nothing. His laughs quickly became giggles – those same, high pitched, little kid giggles. He reached his hand out.
“Honk,” He said trying (and failing) to keep his laughter in. “Honk, honk.”
You looked at him, and then down at his hand. Looking back up, you very calmly said, “Steven.”
He giggled again, “Yes?”
“Did you just honk my breast?”
He couldn’t contain himself anymore, and burst out laughing. You threw your head back against the pillow with a groan, “Steven.”
He settled a little, and scooched up close to you. He rested his head on your stomach, and wrapped his arms around you, “Yes, pretty girl?” 
He looked up at you with sleepy, dreamy eyes. You couldn’t resist running your fingers through his hair, and he nuzzled into your hand, “Time to go to sleep.”
“Okay,” He whispered with a smile, a small tired smile, and kissed your stomach, before closing his eyes, and drifting off to sleep.

SCOOB! Stream of Consciousness Review
Here we are folks - I finally review the originally cinematic, fully CGI animated Scooby Doo Movie (one year later... I did not queue this as I thought I had last June - damn you, Tumblr. I’m not changing much here, so enjoy as it was intended).
Created by a team who have professed their affection for this mystery team and their meddling dog too, will this be a lush experience fit to satisfy any Hanna-Barbera fan? Or will it be a hot garbage cash-grab, littered with Easter eggs and references that do nothing to hide a meatless mess of outdated memes and shallow character development?
LET’S
FIND
OUT
Below this cut is my entire stream-of-consciousness review on the SCOOB! Movie, as experienced. SPOILER warning here - I’m digging into everything, no plot points spared. 
Here we go~
And we start off with a decent shot of the California coastline (looks like the kids backstory is front and center), some 90s hip-hop synthwave song about California, and OH SWEET JESUS THESE MODELS LOOK TERRIBLE
Ahem
Yeah, this is a problem right off the bat - some of these people in the opening shots look remarkably unfinished - think three shades above “Rapsittie Kids: Believe in Santa” level - and the animation on them is less than stellar. 
On the plus side, we do see a fantastic variety of ages, sizes, and races - there’s a brief blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Sikh man on roller skates playing a sitar - but when the designs look rushed in the opening shots, it’s not a fantastic sign. At least they’re brief, but it’s hard to see if this is a lower level of the film’s style due to rushed animation, or if they didn’t care to polish it up as much, given that it’s maybe a 30 second scene. 
Still, kudos to actually going for variety in the crowd shots. Minus kudos to making most of the clothes look like Play-doh draped over a Barbie doll. I’m not even kidding on that one, the clothes are super basic and barely have any sign of texture or creasing or even fabric/cut variety. Almost reminds me of the first Toy Story movie’s design for human clothes, yeesh. 
----
Ahh, our first introduction to Scooby Doo at a Greek gyro food stand. That’s foreshadowing right there folks! 😉
Sadly, he is really weirdly animated in his run sequence - he looks out of proportion as he’s running on his hind legs, and the human animation has really bad consistency - some background characters are really janky, while others actually move really nicely. The characters we immediately focus on seem to be pretty smooth at least, but that’s still very strange.
On a side note: Ruby and Spears Sub Sandwich shop. Nice 😁
----
They are reaaaally pushing the super over-the-top dramatic music for a bike cop chasing a dog that stole gyro meat
Why
It’s not even interesting chase music, just generic super-hyped-up chase music
----
And now we finally get to see a young Shaggy, standing next to a tie-dye food stand called Casey’s Confections that… sells meat. Hm. Guess WB hasn’t learned after all these years 🙄
Unfortunately, I’m not a huge fan of the kid they got to play him, Iain Armitage. He’s not a bad voice actor by any means, but he just doesn’t sound right for Shaggy. I know that as a kid he’d be much less likely to have a cracking/squeaky voice, but he sounds… it’s hard to pin down a word, but - precocious? Darling? Either way it doesn’t quite match, especially given how Shaggy sounds when he grows up via Will Forte. Just… no connection there. 
I tie it down to the particular vocal twangs and nuances the gang usually has. I’ll touch base on that note later I think, once we hit the teenage versions of the gang, but for now I’m just not feeling it. 
----
On the one hand, I empathize deeply with Shaggy and his Spotify’s unsettling ability to pinpoint his insecurities with song choices, and also deeply enjoy that one small gesture where his fingers kind of shake & tighten around his phone while he takes a deep breath to calm himself- it’s a very nice, subtle sign of frustration
On the other hand we just passed two guys with no nipples and an unerring likeness to a Ken doll in those Barbie movies, so I’m distracted by that now
Tumblr media
(between this and Fred’s no-nipples in Happy Halloween SD!, is WB just terrified of giving men nipples in animated movies now? what gives?)
Also distracted by the thrifty lesbians who bought those two shirts that come together to make a heart in the middle, on the store’s 2 for 1 day
Tumblr media
happy pride y’all!
---
Finally got context for the two sand piles!
Tumblr media
Very, very sad context, but still! Progress!
Basically Shaggy’s practicing talking to people in order to learn how to make friends, since he either has no idea how, or has never had a friend before. So he’s trying to learn the right way to do it since his own attempts have failed
And him talking to these sand piles not only counts as practice, but he’s using them so that his mom thinks he’s spending time with friends like he told her
Ow :)
---
So ketchup leather is apparently a thing that exists
I’m learning so much today!
---
Given that Shaggy has no friends at this stage, but he’s still called Shaggy, I’m kind of wondering if that was a mean nickname that everyone called him, but he was just grateful for the interaction/pretended it was from friends, so he kept it 🤔
Actually, take it back, his mother is calling him that. Family nickname, maybe…?
----
Shaggy has Blue Falcon (classic) and Dynomutt funko pops
Tumblr media
noice
---
Oof, you can reaaaaally hear the age in Frank Welker’s Scooby voice. Can we get Scott Innes back? He sounds almost identical to his performance 20+ years ago :/
Also talking waaaay too much - even SDMI Scooby wasn’t this wordy, and he NEVER shut the hell up 
----
Okay wait
So Shaggy met Scooby on Halloween day - then met the rest of the gang hours later?
Huh. And here I was thinking it would have been a few weeks minimum 
Although I have to say there is a lot here to work with, if it paces out how I think it does
Shaggy meets Scooby. Bare hours later, he buys him a collar (instead of his mom? weird) and asks him to stay with him, despite not really knowing him. Then, only a couple hours after that, he finally makes some friends… but only when Scooby is with him. 
Given that it looks like the gang are all around the same age in the same neighborhood, there’s a solid chance that they’ve taken classes together at the same school. If none of them met/knew/made friends with Shaggy then, but only did so AFTER Scooby came into the picture, that might lead to the argument we know about later when they split up; afterwards, S&SD go to the bowling alley, then get abducted by the Blue Falcon, plot continues. This could make it seem like they were only friends with him at the start because he had a dog. 
And the brief scene earlier with the music device shows that he tries to tamp down on his anger/doesn’t really address it - could lead to something more later 
hmmmm 🤔
---
Wait what
These two kid bullies just came out of nowhere, stole Shaggy’s candy… and then started on about how Halloween is only a marketing ploy to get companies to rot your teeth and go to the dentist more, before throwing the bag through a window and telling the two that ��your blood sugar will thank us for it!’
Are - are these the brainwashed children of a Karen? Is that what I’m seeing?
I mean we could have had a Red Herring cameo, but apparently informing children about candy conspiracy theories is more important :/
----
Daphne: It’s Halloween - no one should go home without their candy
FD&V: *none of them have candy/candy bags*
???????
(Wouldn’t it make more sense if the bullies had stolen their candy too? What the hey man)
----
I do find it neat that we actually get to SEE the wires the ‘ghost’ uses to fly in full effect - that’s actually pretty cool, and not really something we get to see up close in older Scooby shows. Most of those just have the bad guy randomly flying about, and the wires revealed after the fact 
---
Actually, given how FD&V react to this ghost almost immediately… have they already been solving mysteries? It seems like it, given how smoothly they move together to capture him
That’s kind of odd in kids. Like, even in PNSD they weren’t perfectly in-sync on stuff
This then leads to the gang solving mysteries together… in spite of the fact that all Shag and Scoob did was hide in the wardrobe that had the stolen goods, while FD&V captured the dude 
Granted, they do ask Shag and Scoob if they wanna join in and say yes, but that seems like an strange jump after what could have been a one-time deal
I just find that a touch odd - esp when they could have had a five minute scene or so of them wandering around the house, touching on some old SDWAY traits. Heck, show that they’re SCARED in some way, and don’t immediately move to tackle what looks like a murderous spirit at age 8-9 or so. Even just showing the kids learning about each other would be enough, but what do I know. I’ve only watched Scooby Doo everything since I was 4 🙄
---
Ahhhh, and now for the updated rendition of the theme song
Where they’re all still kids doing everything the teenage gang did in the theme song
It doesn’t look as good as the OG, though - kind of like a computer game simulating the SDWAY intro using the PNSD kids in CGI. It’s honestly strange to see, and a little jarring - especially when we then transition to the older teenage gang right in the middle
Like, we don’t get to see you guys age through the song as you’re chased by/catch different monsters? That could have been pretty neat honestly - shows how long they’ve been doing this
Tho I gotta admit, seeing the Spooky Space Kook with his OG sound effects is pretty awesome, brief as it waoH MY GOD FRED WHY ARE YOU HAVING A ROMANTIC BEACHSIDE DATE WITH THE MYSTERY MACHINE 
THAT WASN’T IN THE ORIGINAL AND NO ONE ELSE GETS A CHARACTER INSIGHT SHOT LIKE THIS
WHY
----
Huh, looks like Ruby & Spears gave up their subway sandwich shop for a coffee shop
That apparently the gang goes to in order to eat malt shop food
okay?
----
Ah, and here’s where we finally look at the voice acting of the older teenage gang. Buckle up folks, cause I gotta lot to say
We’ll start with Fred, bc honestly? I think Efron actually fits him pretty dang well. He’s got a different cadence from Welker, true, but as far as an update goes? I think he’s a solid fit. Very much in line with the all-American kid that Fred’s kind of been slated as for the past 50 years or so, but updated more for the modern perspective. I call it solid (and possibly a replacement for whenever Welker decides to retire). 
Next? Oof. Velma is, IMHO, the weakest casting. Velma, no matter her voice actress, has ALWAYS had some form of nasal twang to her voice - that’s part of what makes her Velma to begin with, and helps her stand out. Nicole Jaffe, Pat Stevens, BJ Ward, Christina Lange (PNSD), Mindy Cohn, Kate Micucci, Linda Cardellini -heck, even Haley Kiyoko from ‘The Mystery Begins’ and Sarah Gilman from the ‘Daphne and Velma’ movie understood this! They all had that nasal twang to their voice - differing between actresses, of course, but still recognizable as Velma. Gina Rodriguez though? Honestly, it just sounds like she’s acting it straight. Not bad acting at all, by any means - she just doesn’t sound like Velma, and doesn’t seem to be trying to. (Honestly wondering if she was only hired bc she voices Carmen Sandiego in the reboot cartoon for the lolz fun reference! type connection) 
Daphne is sort of similar in voices, but hers is more of a pitch her voice hits - Heather North, Mary Kay Bergman, and Grey Delisle Griffin all have that pitch they hit naturally when speaking. Amanda Seyfried? Does not - in fact, her voice is actually deeper than I was expecting - but it’s not quite as big a difference as it is for Velma. It fits her character type okay, and she does well with it overall.  
And finally, the most controversial one: Will Forte’s Shaggy. 
I’ll go ahead and say this: he’s not Scott Menville levels of bad Shaggy voice acting. If I were to place him on a list, I’d probably put him around Billy West level - kind of sounds similar via vocal tics (voice cracking, likes and zoinks, etc), but his own voice just overtakes the impression he’s seeking to hit. When I hear him speak, I don’t really hear Shaggy; I just hear Will Forte trying to do an impression of Shaggy. 
In comparison: when Scott Innes took over for Shaggy, it was like Casey Kasem’s, just a touch more of a twang to his voice and just a dash over-the-top - but it was still Shaggy, and you didn’t doubt that for a minute.
Same thing for Lillard, but maybe moreso - he was pretty much the most perfect casting for a live-action Shaggy there could be at the time Scooby Doo (2002) was made. Him taking over for Kasem from there made perfect sense: he was honestly the best cast Mystery Inc member of the live-actions, and a lot more recognizable to the general public as Shaggy than Scott Innes was. He could also do different emotions with Shaggy that not a lot of the other voice actors had the chance to do (mainly bc script), so for future stuff they have that flexibility, if they wanted to play around a little more. 
With any luck Forte will get better over the course of the movie, but honestly the casting could have been so much better with Matt Lillard and Kate Micucci.

Shaggy Rogers, evading taxes since 2020

siMON COWELL??!? 
WHAT THE
Tumblr media
WHY?!?!?
ALSO HIS CHARACTER DESIGN STYLE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF THE GANG WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON?!!?
IS HE SUPPOSED TO BE THE SD CELEBRITY CAMEO
LIKE
IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO A CAMEO FROM AMERICAN IDOL WHY NOT RYAN SEACREST 
HE TOOK OVER FOR CASEY KASEM ON THE AMERICAN TOP 40 WOULDN’T THAT MAKE MORE SENSE
aaauuuggghhh
---
Also he’s there as a potential investor in Mystery Inc as a detective agency
A music industry professional… is interested in funding a detective agency.
Like… did he miss out on Josie & the Pussycats? Is that why he’s here?
----
Wait a minute
Oh noooooo
I know why he’s here
I remember this spoiler
Shit
-----
And once again, here is your reminder to tell Simon Cowell a great big fcuk you
Only this time it’s for making Shaggy and Scooby feel worthless and saying that friendship is worthless and cannot be counted on for anything worthwhile
Simon Cowell: Professional Dickhead
---
Welp, at least this gives a solid reason why they leave: Simon Cowell was being a professional dickhead, and the gang didn’t really say anything against him or interrupt him on his whole ‘Shag and Scoob are worthless spiel’
Or, well... Daphne stepped up some, but more to say ‘they’re our friends!’ rather than ‘that’s entirely wrong, our friends aren’t worthless!’ Better than nothing, but yeesh
----
Ahhh, Takamoto Bowling - the emptiest bowling alley in the evenings this side of Coolsville 
(no seriously, the past few times my dad has taken my sister and me bowling pre-pandemic, no matter the day or time? it’s ALWAYS got more than 6 lanes of people there, what the heck)
Also Scooby wears three bowling shoes, which honestly makes more sense than I thought it would - that pup goes spinning and sliding every which way on a normal floor, bowling alley floors would be like ten times worse
----
here’s a nice little detail - when Scooby sees one of the bowling pins peek out with red eyes and he yells that to Shaggy, Shaggy actually squints and walks closer to see if it actually does have eyes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
aww
----
Huh, okay 
Panicked Will Forte Shaggy actually sounds more like a good Shaggy voice than normal talking Will Forte Shaggy
I can dig it
---
Still kind of underwhelmed by the Shag and Scoob disguise scene - wouldn’t it make more sense to have them like, dish up hot sauce or something on a plate that nonsensically makes the robots overheat before they discover their ruse?
Idk, maybe they’re off their game after Simon ‘Dickhead’ Cowell
---
Carlton Way - must be named after Fred’s only other voice actor, Carlton Stevens of PNSD
Also Hanna’s Barber Shop is next to Barbera’s Pizza! Cute.
And… Pitstop’s Pink Perfume ad. Wait, who is that? *assorted googling noises*
...ahhh, Penelope Pitstop from Wacky Races! Who, according to Wikipedia, was revealed to have Greek ancestry in the 2016 Wacky Raceland comic book, having been born on the island of Aegina
Now I’m wondering if we’ll see her in this too, given Cerberus...
----
Honestly kind of fascinating to see the gang with a police radio in their van
Also fascinating to see that only main characters are allowed clothing variety and texture/creases/folds
---
it’s actually really sweet to see Fred, upon hearing that Shag and Scoob are likely in danger, immediately makes a 90 degree turn in traffic
---
It looks like they changes Dee Dee’s name a hair - now it’s Dee Dee Skyes, instead of Sykes
It works well for the Falcon aesthetic, so that’s cool
----
Shaggy, after Dee Dee tells them that Dastardly’s trying to kill them: Scoob, someone thinks we’re important enough to *mimes slitting throat*!
Scooby: It’s nice to be wanted.
Excellent! This movie has captured Shag and Scoob’s blasé attitude towards death! Now we’re onto a solid Scooby film :D
Dee Dee: Hmm, I hear that!
And they even have a friend to share in their attitude! Splendid!
----
Christ, I can work photoshop better than Blue Falcon can, and I don’t even know how to use photoshop
I will give major kudos on his costume tho - it maintains the important elements of the OG Falcon, while still updating it with more bird-related aesthetic, like the feathered appearance of parts of his costume, the split cape resembling the tail feathers, and the talon gauntlets & boots. neat!
Tumblr media
---
Yooo, Dynomutt, I thought secret identities were still a thing with Superheroes, what the hey are you doing giving it out to a duo you literally just picked up behind a bowling alley
Ngl, I’m kinda hoping we get some scenes where Dynomutt messes up a little like in the OG cartoon - this one feels really serious, which is kind of strange
---
Okay now I want to see older!Blue Falcon come in for a cameo
Mainly bc I’m getting the feeling that this one is a major dumbass, and not in the fun and friendly himbo kind of way 😑
---
Wait, THAT’S our first look at Dastardly? That’s a bit abrupt, isn’t it?
Tumblr media
Also his ship must be pumping thousands of gallons of toxins into the air, that smoke cloud looks hideous. Forget logging into his mom’s Netflix account like the trailer said, EPA should probably be hunting him for sport with a laser cannon, jesus fcuking christ
---
Honestly kinda want a plane you can pilot like a motorbike now
---
Welp, it looks like we have a fun, mustache-twirly, puns-aplenty, loves-to-be-bad kind of villain on our hands folks! This is gonna be FUN AS HECK
---
Eurgh, this scene - the super-stiff-but-stretched-out ‘yeeurgh’ faces really squick me for some reason, but I can’t really pinpoint why
---
I have decided I highly dislike the Brian Blue Falcon, or Brian Falcon for short, and would like to see Dastardly tie him to some railroad tracks
---
North St for Heather North, and… wait… Funland Carnival? Like where Charlie the Robot hung out?
Tumblr media
Apparently that’s in Romania.
Tumblr media
A very yellow-greenfilter Romania at that.
 Like, I’ve seen blue washes on movies trying to portray evening in the middle of the day so they don’t actually have to shoot at night, but yellow? That’s normally used for deserts and hot days and uhhh 
NOT for evenings in a country with landscape like THIS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
odd
(I mean I guess they got the mountains and trees right, but still. Yellow filters make a place look arid, which Romania is Not, to my knowledge)
----
Dude, Brian Falcon is such an idiot even Shaggy and Scooby, commonly portrayed as the idiots of Mystery Inc, look at him like he’s a moron.
Tumblr media
(They are Not Amused.)
Also Brian Falcon is an absolute coward. That’s new. Even Shaggy and Scooby face off against the robots directly in a Whack-a-Mole game and destroy some. Dude, get your head in the fcuking game already, yikes
--
Woah, Laff-a-Lympics, Wacky Races, Hex Girls, The Banana Splits, Penelope Pitstop, Space Stars, Posse Impossible, and Hong Kong Phooey easter eggs in one shot

Geezus
--- 
Another nice moment: when cornered by Dastardly, Shaggy moves to stand in front of Scooby to protect him
Tumblr media
---
Dastardly (to Shaggy): I don’t care about YOU. You’re not REMOTELY important!
*proceeds to shoot Shaggy THROUGH the ceiling and up into the highest car on a Ferris Wheel where Brian Falcon is hiding like a man baby*
Welp, so much for a fun and zany villain. Time for this Plush Anon to kill a bitch *cocks shotgun*
I will, too - kudos to the animators for hurting me so badly with the face Shaggy made right before being shot because
Tumblr media
OW
---
Ehehehhehe, yess, the infamous ‘Dick’ scene
Dastardly: No, I’m a DICK. With a D!
You sure are, you sack of dildos with a D!
This scene had to be put in on purpose - if this had been released in theaters, I just know the adults would be dying in laughter 🤣🤣🤣
----
Shaggy: Brian, do something! 
Brian Falcon: Like what?
Shaggy: Like, drop some F-Bombs!
love it 😂
---
Is it like movie law now, that if there’s an action scene with a Ferris Wheel in the background, it has to fall off and roll down a mild incline like a wheel? Because it kinda feels like it
---
Aha! Dastardly said his drats! Perfection.
Now to shoot him through a ceiling to make them matter even more :D
---
OOF. 
Well that hurt. 
Poor Shaggy - basically internalizing now that he’s the worthless one and weak link of the group now that Scooby is considered more important
---
Holy fcuk I’m crying
Shaggy just broke Brian Falcon down to his deepest insecurities without even trying while talking to him
He even used the words ‘imposter syndrome’ 
Shaggy hon, you’re the best
----
Oh hey, Fred, Daphne, and Velma! It’s been a while since we saw you guys again, what are you doing?
Arguing about the metric system and realizing that Shaggy and Scooby reminding them to eat periodically helped them keep a clearer head...
And using the word ‘hangry’.
But then looking through a ridiculously cute photo album of the two and a video the gang took together (the video is honestly really heckin’ cute, 10000/10 would recommend)...
And then getting pulled over so Fred can have a brief ‘oo-la-la’ montage about the pretty blonde cop who honest-to-gods looks like a Barbie doll.
Where Daphne then describes how ugly Dastardly is...
Right before the petite blonde cop who’s maybe like 5’7” at best rips off her outfit to reveal it was Dick Dastardly this entire time, all 7ish feet of him.
And then kidnaps them all along with the Mystery Machine while he makes terribly fun dorky puns
...SO BACK TO SCOOBY AND SHAGGY...
---
...where Scooby is making kissy faces in the mirror while wearing his Blue Falcon uniform
Tumblr media
Hrm, that’s not really better is it
We actually see Shaggy reading (OG) Blue Falcon’s autobiography, and making hurt but snide comments about Scooby’s ego
Tumblr media
Which are actually pretty clever tbh
-----
Cooooooongratulations, Fred Jones! You are now officially a full-on himbo!
Tumblr media
----
Alas, poor Daphne. While your knowledge of the tropes of your show might have served you well in other places, this was to be a theatrical release once upon a time, and so such knowledge falls to ruin.
----
You know, I just realized - we’re never really told HOW the Cerberus skulls work, both in how each skull can be used to find the others,  and, presumably, in releasing Cerberus itself. We’re given a brief glance-over of Scooby’s ancestry (and I mean REALLY damn brief), and a quick mention that these are supposed to be Cerberus’ skulls being stolen, but… that’s it. Nothing else is given. 
Now, I read the first few chapters of my SCOOB! Junior Novelization, and it actually went into further detail about the skulls themselves and what Dastardly’s initial plan was early in the book - open the gates of Hades and obtain the seas of treasure therein. It acted as an introduction both to the climatic endgame we’ll face at the end of the movie, and to Dastardly, who uses the same disguise trick he used as the Barbie cop when he stole the first one in South America. 
(They actually DID plan to use this as Dastardly’s intro, but cut this… 3 minute scene for time. Yeah. See below video for the details - honestly think they should have kept it in. Saves time later and definitely more show than tell, compared to what we got)
youtube
I feel like that would be a better introduction to him than the one we got - hell, it would have fit in quite neatly after the revamped theme song montage. They could have the scene with Dastardly finding/stealing the first skull as an introduction (as above), then have him answer a call or something. Exposit openly “You found the key! Excellent! Now where are we going next?” 
THEN cut to the diner/coffee shop scene we had earlier. We still wouldn’t know exactly what the key was/entailed off the bat, and they could still have FD&V find out on their own - maybe by hacking the little robot instead? IDK.
---
The final skull is on Messick Mountain.
Cute.
On a side note, I do love how Dastardly’s ship interior looks - very dieselpunk
---
Velma just hacked into Dynomutt… somehow, and I finally get my wacky Dynomutt shenanigans!  Hazoo!
...sadly that was really dang brief. Realistic, yes, but still too brief. 
---
Eyyyy, we finally get the whys of why Scooby is needed! … really dang fast. 
Also Fred says Jinkies. 
----
Hey, Muttley popped up! In a shrine… to his demise… that we find out he reached when Dastardly pushed him forward into the Underworld to steal the treasure of Alexander the Great in a portal he rigged up… only for both of them to find out it was a one-way deal unless they used the key to be able to come back. The key, of course, being Scooby Doo, descendent of Peritas, Alexander’s dog. 
Eh, workable enough-ish. It’s interesting to see that Dastardly, despite how much he disliked Muttley in the older cartoons, still cares about him to a certain extent. 
---
Pfff, Fred’s a poor man’s Hemsworth XD
---
Sweet, we’re in ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ now!
---
Um
O W W W
You guys really had to do the ‘me or them’ thing with Shaggy and Scooby… and tHeN hAvE sCoObY cHoOsE tHe FaLcONs?!? Just because they said he was important as “the key” and gave him a spandex costume.
Over at least 7 years of friendship. 
Booooooooooooo
---
actually no I’m Not Done Yet
This whole scene is a mess.
Like
Shaggy’s turn was really dang fast… but I can still see how he gets to it. It’s at least a day between Scooby being chosen as a pseudo-sidekick and the island arrival, during which Shaggy’s talk with the main adult (who has taken up the mantle of his favorite superhero) essentially confirms his feelings of worthlessness and leaves him to stew for HOURS on end (on top of another adult, Dastardly, who also calls him “not even REMOTELY important” at the carnival before freaKING SHOOTING HIM THROUGH THE CEILING NO I AM NOT OVER THIS). Tie that to a teenager who also believes his only friends have come to think he’s meaningless baggage, and suddenly his entire support system is vanishing underneath him to one of his former idols without ANY sign of hesitation from Scooby’s part (with the exception of the collar scene, but I don’t think that that means the same to Scooby, given how quickly he bounces back)
Scooby tho… hrm. It could be that he’s clinging to the good feelings Brian Falcon inspires in him (by choosing him as the next possible Dynomutt), as a way to overpower how FD&V hurt him, while also building on how he came to love the duo because SHAGGY loved them so much. But the movie doesn’t frame that up… at all?? At least compared to Shaggy. 
Idk, maybe I’m missing something, but this scene is a mess through and through
Boooooo
----
Scooby: *tries to leap into Brian Falcon’s arms like he did with Shaggy but falls*
Brian: Uh, what are you doing?
Scooby: Rhaggy never missed. 
Damn straight he didn’t
---
oh hey, it’s Captain Caveman
Tumblr media
I was wondering when we’d see him.
---
AAAUUGGHH
It’s that blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene from the trailers I sobbed over - the one with Shaggy holding Scooby’s collar
Fun fact it actuALLY FADES INTO THE FLASHBACK
THAT WAS NOT A TRAILER THING THAT’S ACTUALLY HERE IN THE MOVIE
OW
---
Oh No
Fred is here, alone, after that whole scene with Dastardly saying he had a use for Fred
...while that’s likely Dastardly in a Fred suit (that sounds creepy just typing it), I’m still going to enjoy this brief but absolutely lovely hug Shaggy and Fred share...
Tumblr media
(seriously tho, look at this, it’s a genuinely close, squish-your-lungs-out kind of hug, I love it)
...as well as Shaggy, who's still hurt from his fight with Scooby, immediately gearing up to go help him after hearing Dastardly’s trying to kidnap him.
----
Brian Falcon and Scooby Doo now have to take on Captain Caveman in gladiatorial combat in order to claim the final skull of Cerberus
I love cartoons sometimes
----
Captain Caveman just put the smackdown on Brian Falcon and punched him into the ground up to his CHEST
Then smacked him so far into a wall he cracked the stone around him!
GodDAMN is this satisfying 😆 altho minor question here: how did he gain the rank of Captain? Do cavepeople have a naval force?
---
He just whirled Scooby around his head, then spun him so fast his costume broke off
I may have to look into some Captain Caveman stuff now, that’s fantastic
---
Shaggy and Fred - sorry, “Fred” -  just smashed through to the colosseum in the Mystery Machine
And Dynomutt just fired missiles at Captain Caveman to smash him into an Amigara-shaped hole of himself
I REALLY love cartoons sometimes
---
Oh No
Just as Shaggy starts trying to apologize, “Fred” kicks him in the back, rips off his disguise to normal Dastardly self, and kidnaps Scooby atop the skull, before revealing he destroyed the Falcon Fury jet
New tagline for this movie? Shaggy Rogers and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day
Tumblr media
...at least the rest of the gang is back together?
---
Brian Falcon: *Immediately tries to blame Shaggy for inadvertently leading Dastardly to them, while storming up to get in his face*
Fred: *upon realizing BrianF is blaming Shaggy for everything, without a SINGLE moment’s hesitation, immediately leaps in to defend Shaggy and physically push back Brian Falcon several feet*
We stan one Himbo, theydies and gentlethem
Also?
Velma (sneering): What kind of hero blames other people for his problems? *Walks over to comfort Shaggy with Daphne, while Shaggy looks dumbfounded they’re defending him bc he also blames himself for Scooby’s kidnapping*
This. This right here, is the kind of Mystery gang content I wanna see.
I don’t care how the rest of this movie goes now, this scene right here is ambrosia to the Scooby fan’s soul, and therefore makes this entire movie worth it, outdated memes, lingo, and all
---
Cackling rn - Fred and Brian Falcon are in a point-off a la the Spiderman meme 😂
or, more specifically, the post-credits sequence of Spiderverse where they’re arguing about who started pointing first
Tumblr media
It gets better when Velma and Daphne try to pull each other off of their pushing fight, and Velma grumbles “Toxic Masculinity” I’m crying
---
WOAH
More super Shaggy stuff here (apart from being flung through a building roof without a scratch) - he pushes apart both groups effortless, and even knocks them back several feet
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If we estimate Dynomutt as… we’ll say 450 since he’s made of metal, Falcon at 220, Dee Dee at 160, that’s about 830 lbs on one side
Then Fred, Daphne and Velma on the other (hmm, 180, 150, 130?) would be around 460 lbs
Dang boi
---
Oh honey no, it’s not your fault
But dang if he didn’t get a good message from it, one I’ve done my best to transcribe here:
“I was afraid that... things were gonna change. And they did change. But like, that’s okay! People can grow. But it doesn’t mean that we’re growing apart. Because the one thing that will never change is that Scooby Doo is my best friend! Ten years ago, a little boy made a promise to a stray puppy that he’d never leave him no matter what. And I’m gonna keep that promise! Now it’s time we stopped that mustachioed menace from opening the gates to the {underworld} and letting loose that fearsome {Cerberus}. So what do you say we get out {of here}, and go get my always-snacking, never-lacking, often-napping dog back? Who’s with me?”
Honestly not a bad message for kids. Things will change, people will change, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop being friends. (Obvs real life exceptions apply, but that’s not a bad note honestly)
...shame that that conclusion comes right the FUCK outta nowhere
Like
How, exactly, did he come to this conclusion? WHEN? What inspired him to realize this, what was the impetus for this specific line of thought, that it’s okay for friends to change?
It kinda feels like this should have been either the happy ending speech given after they’ve saved the world, or one at the start of the third act, like if Shaggy arrives when Scooby thinks he’s chased him away and ruined everything, and Shaggy & the gang still save him. And Scooby asks him why he did that - when Scooby tried to change himself to fit what Brian Falcon wanted, instead of treasuring the friend he still had, or maybe why Shaggy reacted the way he did. THEN Shaggy gives the speech we hear, a la:
“I yelled at you because… like, because I was scared. I was scared that... things were gonna change. And they did change. But like, that’s okay! People can grow. But it doesn’t mean that we’re growing apart. Because the one thing that will never change is that YOU’RE my best friend! Ten years ago, a little boy made a promise to a stray puppy that he’d never leave him no matter what. And I mean to keep it!” 
At least that would make a little more sense to me. Again, not a bad speech, but a little rearranging would help to really hit home. 
---
Okay, now we’re back with Dastardly in Greece, and suddenly the background people all look MILES better than the ones at the start of the movie. Did they just forget to polish the first two minutes of film, what the heck?
Also, Dastardly’s ship is literally the entire length of the Greek ruins presented o_O
Tumblr media
---
HOLY SHIT THE SKULLS TURNED BACK TIME AND MADE THE RUINS INTO AN ENTIRELY RESTORED PALACE WITH THE GATES OF THE UNDERWORLD BEFORE THEM
Tumblr media
They’re also colored a very atmospheric neon arrangement that’s surprisingly quite tasteful ^.^
----
The Mystery Machine can fly now!!! eeheeheeeheeheeheeheeee
----
And so we finally see Cerberus, a massive, towering figure with sharp teeth and pffffffhahahhahaa why are all three heads wearing Spartan helmets
Tumblr media
To its credit, they’re also wearing basic body armor, wrist guards, tail spikes, etc, but the helmets are killing me 🤣 who thought to stick that onto the dog? Did Hades forget to remove the armor after winning the Gods’ Pet Costume Contest, or was it like that horse in the ATV costume - it felt safer so it didn’t let anyone take it off?
Or was this a precaution against Herakles coming back? These are questions - hilarious, hilarious questions 😁
---
Awww. Scooby immediately runs to the battered Mystery Machine to rip the doors open for the gang!
And… wait. THIS is where that wonderful hug was in the trailers? I thought that was at the end of the movie when everyone was safe!
Tumblr media
This now does not bode well. But we’ll worry about that later. Time to enjoy this gorgeous wonderful hug of the entire gang, and Shag and Scoob apologizing to each other for fighting 🥰
Yet another scene to make the rest of this movie worth the rest
Tumblr media
(halfway wanna frame this shit and put it on the wall, it’s that lovely)
----
Fantastic! Dastardly is now in Hell, where I’ve been wishing him this entire movie! :D
And dang… he actually apologizes to what he believes is a dead Muttley. Who is, naturally, snickering at all of this. The two bicker predictably, but eventually hug and make up, too happy to see each other to resort to old habits. Honestly a nice little scene, all-in-all. 
---
Back to the gang and they’re doing the glowy eyes in the dark bit! I actually haven’t seen that in a Scooby movie forever, it’s neat.
Tumblr media
Also Fred is now going full Liam Neeson over his van, war paint and all, using the tire cover as a shield and… holy shit. 
HOLY SHIT
THE ASCOT IS BAAAnnnnnd it’s gone. Boy, that was… short. 
Fred just ran full-tilt at Cerberus, screaming like a mad man, before getting flicked away by its big toe, and losing the ascot and makeshift shield. It punched so hard his facepaint came off
It was fun while it lasted y’all
---
Heyyy, Shag and Scoob just came up with the plan, and it’s actually solid! I’m so proud, and so is the rest of the gang! Also willingly going to distract Cerberus while the rest figure out how to close the gate and stuff Cerberus back in
I love my boys 😊
---
Annnnd there goes Brian Falcon like the coward he is
To… call his dad? And admit he isn’t a hero.
Only for Dynomutt to point out Shaggy and Scooby are taking him on and are terrified. 
This then cuts to Shaggy and Scooby running around in a chariot and gladiator wear, running back and forth a la the door gag from Cerberus to the OG SDWAY theme
I think I love this movie
(although they’re hinting at Dynomutt being resentful of OG Blue Falcon essentially abandoning him to his incompetent son, and I really wish it had been touched upon more
Tumblr media
that’s actually rather heartbreaking, when you stop to think about it, and there’s a lot that could be done with an additional two minutes of screentime) 
---
Huh, another good message for kids: it’s okay to fail and be scared, so long as you keep going and try to do what’s right.
Two good messages for kids in one movie. Not too shabby, on the whole. 
---
Brian Falcon just flew in and punched the three-headed dog, then jumped into its mouth as it tried to eat Scooby, resisted the MASSIVE JAW STRENGTH, and got them out of there safe and sound
Finally, something heroic!
-- 
I was wondering where Dastardly and Muttley got off to - apparently they’re off to take a money bath.
Aight
---
Shag and Scoob have now convinced the Rotten Robots to turn into bowling balls to knock Cerberus off their feet a la the classic marbles pratfall back into the underworld
That is a sentence I just wrote
----
OH FCUK NO
NO
ABSOLUTELY NOT NO
YOU ARE TELLING US THAT AFTER ALL OF THIS - ALL OF THIS - ONE OF THEM HAS TO STAY IN THE UNDERWORLD TO LOCK THE GATE
THAT OCTOBER LEAKER WAS RIGHT WHAT THE HELL
LITERALLY SO
I mean i know its a kids film specifically Scooby Doo so happy ending but what the literal FUCK
---
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGHHH
SHAGGY NOOOO
“Buddy, back when we were kids, you saved me. Now, it’s my turn.”
and he dOES THIS WHILE HOLDING SCOOBY’S HEAD TENDERLY IN HIS HANDS
Tumblr media
AND WHEN EVERYTHING REVERTS IT’S JUST RUBBLE AND RUIN AND SCOOBY’S LEFT SOBBING OPENLY AT NOTHING
Tumblr media
AND THE GANG ALL COME TO CLING AT HIM AND CRY OVER THEIR FRIEND WHO THOUGHT HE WAS WORTHLESS MOST OF THE MOVIE AND THOUGH THAT THE GANG THOUGHT THE SAME ABOUT HIM
Tumblr media
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH
---
WELP, TIME TO COPE WITH INAPPROPRIATE HUMOR
Shaggy: I yelled at my dog, got him kidnapped, and ended up helping the bad guy to open the gates to Hell. Guess I’ll die. 
Dee Dee: Well actually, this is more Dastardly’s fault because -
Shaggy, yelling as he slams his hand against the lock: GUESS I’LL DIE!!!
----
Ah, so the writers wrote themselves into a corner, and the only way out was a Deus Ex Machina (at least, I think I’m using that term correctly…) 
Because to get Shaggy back, a giant statue of Alexander the Great and Peritas appears out of nowhere - literally, since it definitely wasn’t there before - with an inscription Scooby has to read to get Shaggy back.
This would have been a lot more effective if we’d seen it when Dastardly arrived in Greece - maybe even as the marker for where the gate to the Underworld was. Have Alexander facing one way, and Peritas facing the other. You open the gate on Alexander’s side, and come home on Peritas’ side. Having this unfold into the gate gives it more purpose than “magically appears right the fcuk outta nowehere” and you could have a pun with the “backdoor” escape. Everybody wins!
And if that’s too good for ya, how about a brief lingering shot by it at some point as Dastardly flies into Greece, behind where the gate materializes, or directly across from it on the plaza? Maybe have one of the gang kick it after Shaggy leaves, and say ‘This is all your fault! Why would you make something like this?’
It’d still be a magical contrivance, but at least it would make some fcuking SENSE.
(Granted it DID lead to this hilariously ominous shot, so maybe I shouldn’t complain:)
Tumblr media
---
Velma: I finally figured out what you guys are! You’re the heart of Mystery Inc.
Me: YEAH BABY! *flips over table* I’VE BEEN SAYING THAT SHIT FOR YEARS AND NOW, I’M FCUKING VALIDATED AT LAAAAAAAAST!
----
Shaggy: *rips off Dastardly’s face to reveal…*
ALL: SIMON COWELL??!?
Me, choking on food: I’m sorry WHAT?!?!?
Velma: *takes off mask again to reveal*
ALL: DICK DASTARDLY?!?
Dastardly: Drat! No one ever goes for the double unmasking. 
So I was right all along - Simon Cowell truly was a Dick this entire time.
-----
And so we close on the gang unveiling a Mystery Machine paint job on their official detective agency building, Brian Falcon living the good life as the DJ at their party, the Falcon team gifting a sleek new Mystery Machine to the gang (which honestly looks pretty unique - it’s not the classic, but it is something new that isn’t awful, so kudos there), and the gang on their way to another mystery.
So, at the end of the day is this a good Scooby movie? 
Meh? *waves hand in meh motion* But it definitely had its moments. 
This Scooby film is flawed as heck, no doubt about it - the plot has a MAJOR problem with telling instead of showing, some parts feeling out of order or WAY too short, and of course the deus ex machina ending. I honestly would have loved some more time for their first mystery as kids, where we actually got more character moments/bonding from Fred, Daphne, and Velma as they solved it the more traditional route, as well as not framing FD&V as super duper mystery solvers right off the bat??? 
The stuff with Blue Falcon isn’t AWFUL, per se, but it is ridiculously satisfying to see him get smacked around. Captain Caveman was honestly one of the funniest bits in the movie, same with Dynomutt. 
As far as the character stuff? It all felt fairly natural, progression-wise. Shag and Scoob don’t have this big break-up with the gang - they’re hurt by the literal Dickhead’s comments the gang don’t speak up against, and go to blow off some steam together. Shag and Scoob don’t have this giant blow-up argument - it builds over the film into a hurt spat they both recognize they overreacted to almost immediately. The gang (FDV) go looking for them almost as soon as they leave, and, upon hearing they’re in danger, turn and head towards them to save them, realizing how important the two are to Mystery Inc along the way. They defend each other, help each other, have some of the Best Dang Animated Mystery Inc hugs I ever did see - THIS feels more like the Gang I’ve been waiting for forever to come back to DTV (and in a rough sense, did). While I do wish we’d gotten more screen time of FD&V, what we got wasn’t too bad. 
Weirdly enough, at the end of the day, I’ve actually grown more accustomed to Forte’s Shaggy - it feels like it fits this different style a touch more than I originally thought, and holy hell if I didn’t come close to tears at that ending gate scene, he knocked that one out of the park.  Velma still doesn’t feel much like Velma, but I did get used to it by the end. I kept cracking up at Efron’s Fred, and no complaints on Seyfried’s Daphne.
Jason Isaacs as Dick Dastardly absolutely killed it. Blue Falcon Crew was okay (excepting Mark “The Racist” Wahlburg - it was just him talking, no real effort. You could recognize Wahlburg right off the bat, acting as a goofy douche) and freaking Captain Caveman was awesome. Apparently they combined both Billy West and Don Messick’s recordings for Muttley (awesome!!!), so this may very well be Don Messick’s final role in a Scooby Doo film. 
It got off to a rough start, but ended well enough. The animation was solid, the writing has some unexpectedly clever and funny moments sprinkled throughout, with some pretty fun action sequences on the side. Watching this, I really do believe that the people working on it love Scooby Doo and all things Hanna-Barbera… at least in their own way. 
I ended up buying this instead of just renting it ($5 more, why not) and I am honestly glad I did so. Despite its flaws, it has some great moments with the gang as friends, and I have been Craving That Shit for DECADES
And if these writers/directors ever did another Scooby film? I think I’d be up for giving them a chance - at least so long as we got some more absolutely BEAUTIFUL hugs with the gang
I hope you enjoyed this stream-of-consciousness reaction to SCOOB! (2020)... a whole ass year LATER, admittedly (I didn’t switch my Save Post to Queue, curse my hubris), but hopefully y’all’ve been entertained. Good night everybody!

Yoori with ATEEZ
ATEEZ Extra Member AU
A/N: Requests are open! Feedback is welcomed.
Hongjoong:
Tumblr media
It doesn’t matter how old Yoori is, Hongjoong will always see Yoori as a baby. It definitely has to do with her height, but it also has to do with her personality. She acts like a kid, always curious and getting herself into trouble. She tends to stress him out, but when it’s just the two of them, Yoori tends to mellow out. She’ll often pull out her (extensive) nail polish collection and paint his nails, or they’ll go out to the nail salon and get them done there. Yoori will also go to him for help with her rap. She admires his talent and wants to work hard to become just as good. Though he does worry her with how much he works. She’ll go with Seonghwa to get him and bring him back to the dorm.
Seonghwa: 
Tumblr media
She also stresses him out, though for him it’s the fact that she’s messy. He tries to get her to clean, and she will, but she tends to get distracted and forgets that she was cleaning. At this point, Seonghwa just cleans up for her. When she sees that he's stressing over something, she'll make him some tea and put on his favorite drama and get him to relax. They're often found building action figures together. She knows that he has the burden of being the oldest, so even though she's just as mischievous and annoying as the other members, she tries not to stress him (or Hongjoong) out. When the others pick on her, he's always there to defend her and stop anything before it gets too far.
Yunho:
Tumblr media
These two are joined at the hip. He's the member she's closest too (second to San). She loves rooming with him, because he's constantly male her laugh, but is also a really good listener. They'll often lay on his bed, looking at the ceiling, and just talk nonsense or about something that's been on their minds. They'll usually play games together,  and he'll try to get her to play soccer with him and he boys, but she'd prefer to just cheer them on instead (she's more of a watcher than a player). Whenever they feel down, they'll find each other and find some activity to do. They're known for cheering the other members up too. He's the one who tends to understand her 4D personality the most.
Yeosang:
Tumblr media
Whenever Yoori wants some healing time in the form of skincare and spa, Yeosang is right at her door asking to join. He's the only one who actively does them with her. Yoori is like the "little" sister (they're just 5 days apart) he never had. He constantly spoils her, and treats her like a princess. He’s always willing to spend time with her and she’ll often watch him play with his drone (she’s not allowed to touch it, seeing as she’s a walking disaster). Sometimes he’ll walk into his room and she’ll be lying on his bed waiting for him, to tell him about a new dance that she wants to try with him.
San:
Tumblr media
These two have known each other since they were very little, so they’re literally siblings at this point. Even though, Yoori is older by about a month, San likes to take the roll of older brother. He’s always been there for her growing up, and has always been the one to help her with anything. He also sees her as a smol kid (though he’s one too) and feels this insane need to care for her. Being it anyone else, Yoori would be annoyed, but she has always relied on San. She likes the fact that even though she always needs his help, he doesn’t make her feel weak or needy (though she knows she is). These two are always energizing others during practices or breaks. They never seem to run out of it. Yoori and San are always found cuddling or even sleeping in the same bed (Yoori saying that she’s too tired to climb up to her bunk). They’ve been doing this since they were little, and they aren’t planning on stopping.
Mingi:
Tumblr media
Yoori may be the same age as him, but Mingi calls himself her bodyguard. Yoori is known for not liking big crowds especially at airports, so he and Yunho tend to flank her. It makes her feel even smaller, but also protected. She loves his humor, seeing as she tends to have the same kind, and they’ll send hours laughing at memes that they find. These two are always found napping together and are the hardest to wake up in the morning. He’s constantly carrying her around everywhere (he complains at first, but doesn’t set her down). He’ll help her search for any figures that she’s looking for (online or in stores) and even gets her ones that he knows she’ll love. Other than San, Mingi tends to be the one she goes to to cry.
Wooyoung:
Tumblr media
He’s constantly picking on her (all in love). She can take most, but if he goes too far, she won’t hesitate to slap him or kick him. When this happens, no one ever really steps in, knowing that Wooyoung is sometimes a jerk to her and kind of deserves it. Usually Yoori will feel bad for hitting him and will offer to get him ice cream. He’ll say yes because he too feels bad for messing with her. They spend most of their time together gaming or dancing. If they’re not bickering, they’re just sitting in each other’s company on their phones. He’ll often sit with her to watch anime. She’ll pretend not to notice because if she does he’ll just get up and walk away, huffing about annoying “sisters”.
Jongho:
Tumblr media
Yoori likes to latch on to Jongho, and he lets her. She’ll follow him around without saying much. Yoori’ll drag him to the arcade or a manga shop and he’ll never say no. He actually can’t say no (he’s tried, but she has a pair of killer puppy eyes). She loves to hear him sing and will often ask him to sing to her. Jongho will get very protective of her. If an MC snubs or mocks her, he has a hard time not saying anything back. He did once and was lectured by the managers. Yoori told him not to worry about it, that she can take it, but he (and the others) know that the comments chip away at her. He will politely (though it’s their leader that does most of the talking) confront the MC or even the staff. On days that this happens, Jongho will ask Yoori if she’d like to watch a movie with him, to which she’ll excitedly say yes to.

OC ask games but instead if reblogging the asks I answer them myself for Eugene's development
put under a read more cause this is....long [also i couldnt answer all questions oops]
dnd character ask meme by gendermybeloved
what kind of clothing does your character like to wear? do they have a style? anything they avoid wearing? Eugene wears button ups, a lot, with funky little patterns on them. Usually they are blue, turquoise, green and pink. He usually just wears blue denim pants, however if his shirt is blue he tries to avoid wearing blue pants under them. As for shoes he just wears, usually white, sneakers.
what's their current hairstyle? has it changed? do they change it often? Eugene's hair is short, but the long kind of short. He usually wears it with a small crest, but sometimes he lets it down too. During Mann Co. it was a lot shorter because Soldier demanded they'd all keep their hair short. In his mid-teens [15-16] he started off with a bit of a mullet that eventually grew into longer hair that he'd keep in place with a headband, [think Your Worst Nightmare kind of long] he cut it off at around 17.
is your character more articulate in their thoughts than their words? if yes, do they do anything about that? do they care? Eugene is more articulate in his thoughts, he tends to have very rambled thoughts that make sense to him but when he has to out those words it can be a little chaotic/rambly as well. But if he has to prepare text it comes out a lot more structured. He doesn't do anything about it cause he enjoys being a little chaotic like that.
would your character sing along to a vaguely familiar song, even if they messed up the lyrics as they went? No, Eugene will only sing along if he knows the words. If a song is vaguely familiar he'll only hum along with it.
if they wear any, how does your character go about applying makeup? Eugene doesn't wear makeup.
do they usually sleep in a certain pose? does it change? Fetal position is the go to but not a necessity when sleeping.
how would they react to eating something that was spicier than they expected it to be? Tears would form in his eyes and he'd cough a little but he's too stubborn to admit he can't handle it/it's too spicy.
are their hands steady? Yes, absolutely. Thanks to sniper training they got steadier than before.
if someone gave them flowers, what would they do with them? He'd be very confused. Eventually he'll accept them but it's very uncomfortable and awkward for him. If something like this [affection and/or something so confronting and unexpected] happens to him he'll be the type to say no out of discomfort even though he'd want to say yes.
would they sneak out at night to look at the sky? how long would they stay there looking? Absolutely, he'd use his dogs as an excuse to go outside and he'd just stay there for as long as he or his dogs like.
how do they feel about casual endearments? (babe, etc) Uncomfortable, he'd need to get used to them a lot.
what colour would they paint their room? would there be a design on the ceiling? He'd be too undecisive to choose colours or patterns. On the ceiling there are those green and purple glow in the dark stickers.
what helps them fall asleep when they're having trouble doing so? ASMR or watching those YouTube documentaries.
do they tend to run hot or cold? do they do anything to deal with that? xx I'm not sure what this question means
what's a sound they can't stand? The sound [and sight] of people eating.
would they draw patterns in frosted windows/fogged up mirrors? what would they draw? He'd draw smiley faces and dogs [and male genitalia when it's appropriate.]
do they fidget? how and/or with what? A lot! He has multiple fidget. He scratches his neck a lot, he scratches his thumbs a lot too, and he rubs his knuckles over his chest sometimes [ this also because of the scar itching].
would they sing a lullaby, if the opportunity arose? Nah, not a fan of lullabies.
do they see patterns in the world around them? do they point them out to people? All the time, but he barely points them out because more often than not people look at him weird for either not seeing the pattern or confusion.
do they like to keep plants/growing things in their space? His favourites are cacti and succulents, though most of them are fake because he forgets to take care of them a lot.
do they touch or mess with their hair/horns a lot? Usually only the hair on his neck thanks to his neck scratches, and a hand through his hair once in a while but that's it.
when they speak, do they have a default tone of voice? if yes, do they try to change it? why?
do they wrap their arms around their stomach when it hurts?
what kind of bookmarks, if any, do they like to use? No bookmarks, only memory. When it's a book they read in class, he uses colour coded sticky bookmarks for discussions in class.
do they keep books on their person? what kind? Only when he needs to bring them to his job, or when he plans on reading them [for example on a long train ride].
do they write in their books? do they mind other people writing in their books? what do they write? Yes, he writes in his books mainly for things he notices or for discussion points in class [like foreshadowing or patterns or smth similar]
do they write often? why/what about? Not really, Eugene sometimes tries to write down what he feels, because he has troubles expressing emotion and he hopes it may help him.
if they can fly, how do they feel in the moment their feet touch the ground again? n/a
if they wear any, where did they get their jewellery? He has matching sword necklaces with Demoman, but he only rarely wears it. He doesn't like jewellery too much as it feels bothersome to him.
have they ever tried to count their own freckles? do they count other people's? n/a, no freckles.
did they climb all over/onto things as a kid? Only in trees.
can they play darts? would they? He can easily play, and win, darts thanks to his aim as an ex-sniper but he doesn't because he just thinks it boring.
where are they in a group hug? (dead center, outside, etc) Nowhere, group hugs are too overwhelming [too much touching]
what's the first thing they think when they hear an alarm? what's the first thing they do? His ears perk up and he looks around to try and figure out what is going on.
do they sing with their head voice or their chest voice? Chest voice
(if they have hair that needs to be brushed) how often do they do so? do they do it gently? n/a
how would they pass the time on a train? Either reading, listening to music or playing puzzle games [like picross or I Love Hue].
do they bother to clean ink/chalk/gunpowder/etc off of their fingers? are they likely to forget it's there and smudge their nose? im not sure how to answer this one
do they keep working even when their wrists start to cramp? if they do, do they give themselves a break when the work is done? He does keep working because, once he's started something and is in the right mindset he doesn't want to stop and once again he's too stubborn to stop as well.
if their mattress became uncomfortable as time passed, would they notice it? would they do anything about it? He wouldn't notice because he already gets barely any sleep anyway.

@fatestouch
✩ for Avs and Cecil!
Disagreements:
Who is more likely to raise their voice?  - Avelan
Who threatens to leave but never actually does? - I don’t think either would, but maybe Cecil? 
Who actually keeps their word and leaves? - Both, I believe 
Who trashes the house? - Neither. At least not on purpose…
Do either of them get physical?  - Maybe shoulder grabbing and the occasional affectionate touch when they start to work things out?
How often do they argue/disagree? Who is the first to apologize? - Often, on minor things. On major things, it depends on who was wrong. And most of the time that’s Avelan, I think.
Sex:
Who is on top? Who is on the bottom?  - They switch around, though I would say Avs usually is unless Cecil’s riding him.
Who has the strangest desires? Any kinks? - ……*gestures at them.* A bit of a bondage kink, power play, role-playing—
Who’s dominant in bed? - Usually Avelan, recently Cecil…<.<….
Is head ever in the equation? If so, who is better at performing it? - Of course. And Avs would say that he is, but he also really loves watching Cecil give it to him.
Ever had sex in public? -I think the most public they’ve ever done it was in the living room, while other people were still in the house…
Who moans the most? Who leaves the most marks? Who screams the loudest? - Cecil moans and screams the loudest, and Avelan leaves the most marks. Especially nail marking on the hips….
Who is the more experienced of the two? - Avelan? Just because he’s older so…ye…
Do they ‘fuck’ or ‘make love’? - Both, depending on the mood.
Rough or soft? - Usually, it’s pretty rough and fast. But they do have the rare night of soft and slow, and taking their time.
How long do they usually last? - *laughs*
Is protection used? - I don’t think so? When they first started sleeping with each other, probably. But after they became exclusive, that habit just faded out and neither of them really have to worry about getting the other pregnant, so…
Does it ever get boring? - *laughs again*
Where is the strangest place they’d have sex? - Probably somewhere in Kapisola, in the stables when all the animals were like gone for a bit.
Family:
Do your muses plan on having children/or have children? If so, how many children do your muses want/have? - They currently have Lydia! And as far as Avelan is giving me right now, he’s not really thinking about having other children at the moment.
Who is the favorite parent? - …….JJ—*feels Avelan looming over my shoulder*
Who is the authoritative parent? - Avelan is, of course 
Who is more likely to allow the children to have a day off school? - Cecil
Who lets the children indulge in sweets and junk food when the other isn’t around? - ….Cecil 
Who turns up to extra curricular activities to support their children? Who goes to parent teacher interviews?  - Both, I would thinking. Or they switch off depending on whether or now they’re busy
Who changes the diapers? Who gets up in the middle of the night to feed the baby? -Neither of them did this ;u;
Who spends the most time with the children? - Currently, I think Cecil 
Who packs their lunch boxes? - Avelan 
Who gives their children ‘the talk’? - ……They haven’t gotten there yet… 
Who cleans up after the kids? - Lydia has been raised to clean up after herself…..but maybe Avelan, on occasion.
Who worries the most? - Both tend to worry quite a bit, I think 
Who are the children more likely to learn their first swear word from? - Between the two of them, maybe Avelan? But from other people—probably Nero.
Affection:
Who likes to cuddle? - Both, but Avelan is less likely to admit it.
Who is the little spoon? - Avs likes to be little spoon, a lot!
Who gets naughty in the most inappropriate of places? - ……*gestures to the both of them* 
Who struggles to keep their hands to themselves? - *gestures to the both of them, again.*
How long can they cuddle until one becomes uncomfortable? - I would think pretty long. I see them falling asleep while cuddling, especially after a long day.
Who gives the most kisses? - Cecil tends to be the more affection of the two, so him 
What is their favourite non-sexual activity? - Sparring! …..Though that often gets sexual, too…
Where is their favourite place to cuddle? - The couch, or the bed. Avs likes more private areas where they can be alone
Who is more likely to playfully grope the other? - Cecil
 How often do they get time to themselves? - Not as often as they did before Ascension, but I still think they’re able to have couple time a lot. Though Avelan would also like some strictly Avelan time, too
Sleeping:
Who snores? If both do, who snores the loudest? - I don’t think either of them snore, but their breathing gets deeper and louder? In that case, maybe Cecil since Avelan’s the lighter sleeper
Do they share a bed or sleep separately? If they sleep together, do they cozy up together or lay far apart? - They share a bed! And they cozy up =u=
Who talks in their sleep? - I see Cecil doing it a little bit?
What do they wear to bed? - Avelan usually just wears a pair of sleep pants. For Cecil, I think it would depend if you catch my drift…
Are either of your muses insomniacs? - Avelan, when he gets into his work and has a lot to do
Can sleeping pills be found by the bedside? - I know Avs doesn’t take sleeping pills, but he uses his sister’s sleep tea. I think Avs would recommend that Cecil use it, too, if he has trouble.
Do they wrap their limbs around each other or just lay side by side? - Side by side for Avelan, but I think Cecil would octopus him
Who wakes up with bed hair? - Who wakes up with the MOST bed hair? Avelan.
Who wakes up first? - Avelan
Who prepares breakfast in bed for the other? - Avelan c:
What is their favourite sleeping position? Who hogs the sheets? - Avelan likes being little spoon! But I think Cecil would hog the sheets, just because Avs would probably be plenty warm 
Do they set an alarm each night? - Avelan does
Can a television be found in their bedroom? - Avelan says no. But there might be a radio. 
Who has nightmares? Who has ridiculous dreams? - Both for nightmares, though that was before. I’m not sure if Cecil would still have some now, as a god? As for ridiculous dreams, probably the both on occasion 
Who sprawls out and takes up most of the bed? - …..I see Cecil doing this…
 Who makes the bed? What time is bed time? - Avelan, and he usually tries to go to bed as early as he can. But never earlier than 10 or something.
 Any routines/rituals before bed? - Drinking tea and washing up, for the most part. And talking about their days, if they need/want to.
Who’s the grumpiest when they wake up? - Avs :D...
Work:
Who is the busiest? Who rakes in the highest income? -I would say Avelan is currently the busiest?
Are any of your muses unemployed? - No and yes. They’re gods, they don’t really need jobs. Not normal ones anywa.
Who takes the most sick days? - Cecil?
Who is more likely to turn up late to work? - Cecil 
Who sucks up to their boss? - They are the bosses!
What are their jobs? - God of Gaea, and God of The Night 
Who stresses the most? - Avelan 
Do your muses enjoy or despise their careers/occupations?  - I would say they enjoy them
Are your muses financially stable? - Very much so.
Home:
Who does the washing? Who takes out the trash? Who does the ironing? - I think they have people for that now, actuall?
Who does the cooking? Who is more likely to burn the house down just trying? - Avelan. And Cecil. But I would like to think that Cecil is careful.
Who is messier? Who leaves the toilet roll empty? Who leaves their dirty clothes on the floor? Who forgets to flush the toilet? - Cecil might be the messier one, but I wouldn’t say that he would go any of those other things.
Who is the prankster around the house? - Cecil. Definitely Cecil. And maybe Lydia now.
Who loses the car keys when it comes time to go somewhere? - Avelan, but not really accidentally. And why would they take the car? They can teleport…
Who mows the lawn? - Avelan.
Who answers the telephone? Who does the vacuuming? - Avelan probably let’s Cecil handle the phone whenever possible. Probably his phone, too.
Who does the groceries? - Most groceries they can get from Kapisola, so I would say Avelan? 
Who takes the longest to shower? Who spends the most time in the bathroom? - Avelan. No question.
Miscellaneous:
Is money a problem? -Nope!
How many cars do they own? - None. Well, Avs is hoping they have none. He says he gave the car he had away to Lazuli, along with the house.
Do they own their home or do they rent? - Own!
Do they live near the coast or deep in the countryside? Do they live in the city or in the country? Do they enjoy their surroundings? - We’ve discussed them moving before, but idk if we decided where? I see them living in that “skeleton house” on Merlow Isle, which now currently the peak of the new continent, once it’s finished being build.
What’s their song? - Love Will Find A Way <3
What do they do when they’re away from each other? - Their godly duties. And they’re pretty different have other things going on aside from each other, and that’s plenty
Where did they first meet? How did they first meet? - The Paradise café? And I would say through tindr, but that seemed like a crack meme so we can say Nero introduced them.
Who spends the most money when out shopping? - Ceeciilll—Avelllan? I’m not sure
Who’s more likely to flash their assets? - Both. *facepalms*
Who finds it amusing when the other trips over? - Cecil, since Avelan is often more on the graceful and nimble side….
Any mental issues? - ….. ;u;’’’
Who’s terrified of bugs? Who kills the spiders around the house? - Neither? I think they’re both pretty okay with dealing with pests. And I don’t just mean bugs.
Their favourite place? - Hmm….speaking for both of them, I would say their new home. But speaking for Avs alone, Avs likes his tree.
Who pays the bills? - They got no bills to pay!
Do they have any fears for their future? - At the moment, I see most of their future fears concerning Lydia. In general, I can’t think of anything specific for them aside from the apocalypse, maybe.
Who’s more likely to surprise the other with a fancy dinner? - Avelan!
Who uses up all of the hot water? - Avelan….*shakes head* It’s all that hair.
-Who’s the tallest? - Avelan: *smirks*
Who’s more likely to just randomly hop into the shower with the other? - Cecil! But I see Avelan doing this, too. On the rare occasion he feels like being bad.
Who wanders around in their underwear? - Same answer as the above.
Who sings the loudest when singing along to the radio? - Definitely Cecil.
What do they tease each other about? - Height. Age. Any stupid or clumsy moments Avelan each other may have.
Who is more likely to cringe at the other’s fashion sense at times? - Cecil.
Do they have mutual friends? - Aside from family, I would say Aile…….I…I don’t think I can think of anyone else…aside from maybe two or a few Angels?  
Who crushed first? - Cecil
 Any alcohol or substance related problems? - Avs drinks, but rarely allows himself to get wasted when he does. As for Cecil…there was an instance, recently ;u;’‘‘
Who is more likely to stumble home, drunk, at 3am? - ….Cecil….orz
Who swears the most? - Avelan…? Though I think Cecil might be close.

Ship meme~ rare pare time another ship you love but you've not been asked yet. But a rarer one
I thought about this for quite a while and then decided I wanted to write something for Dorothy and Blanche from The Golden Girls. The pairing is not canon and probably quite rare but not uncommon amongst rare pair shippers like me. There is also some wonderful fanfiction about them on AO3 that I absolutely recommend, those written by Faraona in particular.
Who said “I love you” first
Dorothy does. She tried everything she could think of to get Blanche’s attention, to get her to realize how she felt about her. Some things were subtle, like compliments or thoughtful gifts, mostly she tried to impress her with her intellect. Dorothy also wore a beautiful gown once that accentuated her hips - she usually preferred wider clothes. It was to no avail. Blanche’s attention was fixated on men, and she did anything to get them to like her, to find her desirable, even those that treated her badly. And it hurt, not only to see Blanche so unappreciated, but also to have her efforts go unnoticed by her. There she was, with her big heart so full of love and desire and nobody wanted it.
Dorothy was scared at first that by making her feelings known she’d destroy their friendship, but she had suffered in silence for so long it had become unbearable to keep quiet any longer. It so happened shortly before Valentine’s Day that Blanche got dumped by her then boyfriend. Blanche was shattered, or so she loudly proclaimed, but Dorothy knew it was mostly hurt pride. For the first time in years Blanche didn’t have anyone she could call up to feel less lonely on a day where it was traditional to celebrate relationships.
It was then that Dorothy took her courage in both hands, and Blanche aside, and told her exactly how she saw her. She told her that in Dorothy’s eyes, she was the most stunning woman she had ever known, a beautiful soul whose friendship and companionship she values more than anything else in the world. That she deserves better, that anyone who doesn’t treat her like a precious diamond was an idiotic simpleton, an absolute fool. And when Blanche beams at her with her bright blue eyes, Dorothy nervously blurts it out, feeling like a silly school girl, but at least the cat was out of the bag. Blanche doesn’t react but Dorothy didn’t expect her to. In fact she expected Blanche to turn away in horror or leave and never speak with her again but she doesn’t, she just says she needs time to think.
Who initiated the first kiss
Dorothy does. Dorothy’s unexpected love declaration made things awkward for several days. They avoided each other and only spoke the bare necessities with each other. Then they pretended that it never happened and everything resumed normally. But Dorothy’s confession had the positive side effect that Blanche now became painfully aware of Dorothy’s little gestures and words, now that she knew the real reason behind them. And something changed. Blanche enjoyed Dorothy’s attention, it exhilarated her how she felt her eyes linger on her when she wore one of her best and tightest dresses, it made her heart beat faster and her cheeks turn a rosy pink.
Blanche starts to consciously seek Dorothy out, sits that little bit closer to her everytime they watch TV on the couch, even flirts with her just like she usually would with men. She doesn’t really know what sort of reaction she wants to get out of Dorothy but she desperately craves one. One beautiful starry night when they are alone together and share a drink in the garden Blanche looks at Dorothy expectantly and smiles at her. Blanche’s blouse was unbuttoned so that you could see a touch of her ample cleavage and she sat in a way that accentuated her bosom and her waist and suddenly Dorothy realizes, this was an invitation. Of course Blanche would never make the first step, she usually went out with men.
Dorothy then starts to get self-conscious, Blanche has gone out with and kissed countless men, what if she disappoints her, what if she screws it up? But she wants this more than anything else in the world, so she gently cups Blanche’s cheek and kisses her softly. She then pulls back, not even daring to breathe, terribly anxious that this wasn’t what Blanche wanted after all, what if she misread the signals, what if she overstepped, what if… but Blanche goes in for another kiss, deeper this time, and Dorothy’s worries get swept away by the restless butterflies in her stomach.
They kiss each other every day after that, and much more than that, for many years to come.
Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background
Dorothy - if she ever learned to use a smartphone it would be full of pictures of Blanche. She doesn’t care if she’s biased, she thinks Blanche is the most gorgeous woman she has ever laid eyes on in her entire life and neither old age nor scars from a hip replacement nor a bit of extra weight on her thighs and belly will ever change her mind. She will never tire of telling Blanche as much whenever she gets insecure, and she won’t stop worshiping the ground she walks on, or rolls on in her wheelchair many, many years later.
Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror
Dorothy is very romantic and often leaves Blanche notes next to the bed or gives her flowers “just because”, she never needs a special occasion to show her girlfriend (and later, wife) just how much she means to her.
Who buys the other cheesy gifts
They both get each other gifts, they aren’t always cheesy however. Despite being a romantic, Dorothy is far too practical minded to spend money on things that aren’t really needed. However she knows how Blanche likes to be courted and how she appreciates art and beautiful things, so she often takes her to art galleries or takes her out to dinner in expensive restaurants. Anything to make Blanche feel as special as she is to her.
Blanche, in turn, surprises Dorothy with all of the books she always wanted to read. Blanche also starts to read more because she wants to discuss all of Dorothy’s favorite books with her, and she loves it when Dorothy reads to her - sometimes it’s excerpts from books she is currently into, other times love poems.
Who kisses the other awake in the morning
They both do. Dorothy also often treats Blanche to breakfast in bed. Blanche expresses her gratitude by eating Dorothy out first thing in the morning.
Who starts tickle fights
Blanche. She loves to make Dorothy laugh, who in her mind can be a bit too serious at times. Blanche has a wide range of tricks to lighten Dorothy’s mood. Sometimes she tells jokes or animated stories, sometimes she just lifts her skirt up when nobody else is looking and Dorothy always blushes like a teenager.
Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower
Blanche usually invites Dorothy, although perhaps not always with words. She gives her that special look or sometimes a wink, while unbuttoning the first few buttons of her blouse, and Dorothy’s eyes darken with desire, fully knowing they won’t just be showering that day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch
Dorothy often surprises Blanche at the art gallery, with a snack or flowers, and Blanche then gives her a little tour and shows her all of her favorite paintings of the current exposition.
Who was nervous and shy on the first date
Dorothy is. She was usually nervous at first dates, she hated them because of all the bad experiences she’s made previously, but this was different. This was one of her best friends, the person she loved more than anything in the world, and she didn’t want to mess it up or disappoint her. She wants to be the perfect gentleman and tries too hard, stumbles over her words, and Blanche immediately notices. She then gives Dorothy a reassuring smile and takes her hand in hers, before kissing her palm, and Dorothy calms down. The rest of their dinner is spent in laughter and animated conversation, in fact it is the best first date Dorothy ever had in her life.
Who kills/takes out the spiders
Dorothy takes them out. She doesn’t mind the spiders, it’s mice that she’s not overly fond of.
Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk
They rarely overindulge with alcohol, they both prefer cheesecake. And they proclaim their love for each other at least once or twice per day, sometimes more often than that, it’s just that kind of relationship.
my rating of the ship from 1-10:
10. Could easily have been canon if you ask me, in my opinion Bea and Rue had incredible chemistry. I’ve always shipped Dorothy and Blanche, even as a kid, and I still think they would work well together!

intro to genevieve, pt. 1
So I saw this post about ABCs of OCs and decided to do it for my OC, Genevieve. I regret nothing. @ocelotsflatass, maybe this might interest you???
A: Aptitude 1. Viv is very verbal, so she’s good with words, texts, communication, writing, analysis--all of that. She studied Foreign Languages and Literature in the DMC world’s equivalent of college or university, so her main role at the DMC shop is primarily research. She was also pretty decent at biology. Loves plants, would have been a good botanist. EDIT, because I can’t believe I forgot to add this: Viv is a witch, and her strongest areas are plant magic and divination.  2. Um... piano?  3. Viv worked hard to be able to play piano as well as she does. Also chemistry and physics kicked her ass in school, but she genuinely enjoys them as subjects because she does like science, so she worked hard to pass them. Especially since they were mandatory subjects. She works on her magic as well.  4. Please don’t ask her to do anything except basic math. Or draw anything, either, but she loves art.   5. Her most impressive talent is being fluent in like 3 languages, especially because one of those three has a different grammatical system and alphabet. She’s conversational in at least 2 more besides those. Also, making plants grow, scrying, cartomancy. She’s pretty handy.
B: Basics 1. Viv is blonde. I’m still deciding on an exact shade.  2. She has blue eyes, darker than Dante and Vergil’s. Pretty dark, actually. Not very pale. Has a dark limbal ring.   3. Viv is 5′4″, or says she is, at least. She’s kind of fine-boned as well. 4. She’s in her mid-to-late 20′s. 5. Don’t you know better than to ask someone how much they weigh? (for the record, though, the answer is “not that much.”)
C: Comfort 1. Sits pretty normally in a chair, but will do whatever is comfortable for her at the moment, no matter what it is--criss-cross or propping her feet up.  2. Viv is a stomach or side sleeper, usually. Prefers to lie on her left side.  3. Her idea of a chill day is a day when she doesn’t have anything to do, so she can get things that she should do done. Snow day? Pajamas. Netflix. Laundry.  4. Anything starchy and salty, really, but she is fond of hot soup, especially matzoh ball.  5. Her parents are the best at cheering her up, mostly because they’ve had the most experience with her, but her best friend/ex-girlfriend Zoe is also fairly good at it. Dante will do his absolute best, even though it’s not something he’s used to, and he is getting better at it. 
D: Decoration 1. Viv’s style is an eclectic mix of boho-modern with classic with crazy plant lady.  2. Viv is very much about the Aesthetic™, so any kid of hers will have a pretty kickass room. Probably green, because it’s gender-neutral. Lots of stuffed animals, and a reading nook, so she can read to her child or sing to them.  3. Her room is covered in books, her furniture is somewhat antique-looking, there are plants everywhere. It’s organized chaos. The walls are a light, neutral color, and the blinds and curtains are almost always open, because she loves natural light. 100% watches HGTV in her free time.  4. Viv is pretty boho, but she also likes a lot of structure in her outfits and her tastes do veer towards classic. It could probably be summarized as “dark academia/The Secret History groupie meets punk meets an extra from Picnic at Hanging Rock.”  5. Depends on the trend. Viv has no qualms about adopting trends, or parts of trends, that she likes and discarding whatever it is she doesn’t. She does like having short nails because they’re easier to keep clean, and does like to paint them even though they chip after two days no matter how many coats she puts on. 
E: External Personality 1. There’s sometimes a split where Viv is acting like her real self, but gets really insecure about it and tries to overcompensate, versus times where she’s pretty comfortable in her own skin. It really depends on how she’s feeling, and who she’s with.  2. Viv is very good at appearing normal, at the very least. There’s a part of her that realizes compromises need to be made and that blending in can be a very useful and powerful thing.  3. She doesn’t feel obligated to follow trends, but will adopt one if it’s something she likes. She could care less if she was hip or not.  4. Viv likes memes, if nothing else? And Vines. RIP Vine.  5. She feels like her own personality changes. She initially comes across as introverted--not necessarily shy, but reserved and focused. It takes some warming up and some time for someone to discover what she’s really like. 
F: Fun 1. Viv likes to read, hike, garden, and watch movies. She’s big on horror movies, especially supernatural horror movies and psychological thrillers.  2. Ideally it’s something chill and intimate, where there’s a lot of chatter and everyone is close friends. But... she is also not adverse to a rager where there are a ton of drunk people and couples making out in every corner. Something about house parties like those makes her let loose a little. She wouldn’t throw one of them herself, but doesn’t mind going to one. However, once she’s reached her max noise/stimulation threshold, she’s out.  3. Her close friends. She and Zoe, and her previous partners Sonali and Eli, all got up to some shenanigans when they were together.  4. For the most part, the fun Viv likes to have doesn’t really break any laws, but she could definitely be persuaded to do something illegal as long as 1) nobody gets hurt and 2) she doesn’t get arrested.  5. Viv is kind of a homebody, but she does go through periods of intense wanderlust and cabin fever, especially during winter. (She also has a bit of SAD, but that’s neither here nor there)
I’m breaking this up into parts because I hate reading long blocks of text, so hopefully part 2 will come soon!

Your name, please? Robyn. Are you heartbroken right now? No, my heart’s doing okay. If so, how long have you been heartbroken? Do you like the area you live in? I like that it’s a lot quieter than the metro, but we get everything we could also get in the city nonetheless. Right now it’s just a little unsettling since the Taal Volcano erupted and we have ashfall land all over our house, but otherwise where we live is pretty decent and uneventful for the most part. Do you ever get complimented on your eyes? What color are they? It’s not my strongest feature so no, not really. They’re dark brown/almost black.
What facial feature do you like the best on a person? Everyone has their different strong suits, so. Do you like to be called baby? Only by my parents and my girlfriend, because otherwise that would be creepy. What is your favorite flower? I like roses, sunflowers, and peonies. Idk, my answers to this question changes every time so it’s safe to say they’re only my favorites today. When did you last use the restroom? Five minutes ago. I went before starting this. How long is your hair? Pretty long. I haven’t had it cut since late in 2018; if I throw my head slightly back it already reaches my hips. I plan to keep it long until my graduation shoot, so I won’t be going to the salon for at least another month. Do you have braces? I used to. Do you have any freckles? Nope. What is your favorite Internet meme? There was a local meme going around last week and it involved people making hilarious puns out of celebrity names and pairing them with Photoshopped pictures of the celebrities to match the pun – for example, a local celeb named Rico Blanco was styled as Rico Blanket and a photo of him was shopped so that he’s in bed wrapped in a blanket :(((( OK IT DOESN’T SOUND FUNNY RN but all the entries were hilarioussssss I swear. Unfortunately everyone hopped on the meme train and it died in like a week. How many windows does your room have? Two big windows but each have four tiny window panes in them that can be opened. Do you have a rug in your room? What color is it? No. My dog likes peeing on rugs so we don’t like having them laying around. What is the weirdest animal you've ever held? I don’t think any animal is weird... but the coolest ones I’ve ever held are a snake, an eagle, a sea turtle, and a crocodile. The first three I got to meet in Bali, and the crocodile was from Palawan. Do you get extremely hyper when under the influence of sugar? No. I never really believed in that either. What about caffeine? I get pretty talkative, yes. I also talk like I have built-in exclamation points lol. Have you ever tried any drugs? If so, did you regret it? No, I haven’t. Do you have any pregnant friends? None of my friends are, but I can never be sure anymore when it comes to people I know. I always say no to this question, then sooner or later someone I know gives birth kfdgkdjfhd like a classmate from high school just had her third kid and no one even had any idea she was pregnant again. Guess I’ll just keep answering this question with a shrug. Have you seen anyone lately that you knew but didn't remember from where? Yeah, this was me for a few seconds when I arrived in my history class for our first day last Friday and I saw several people that I knew I know, but I had to recollect my thoughts. I eventually remembered who they were, but for a few seconds I was stumped. When was the last time you toilet papered or egged someones house? I’ve never done this, because you don’t do this in the Philippines. Do you usually dress up for Halloween? Some years I would. When ordering food, what do you usually get as a drink? I always get ala carte because I only drink water (I get full quicker if I have any other drink), and service water is always there. Put your favorite color and favorite animal. EX: Silver walrus Pink dog. When drawing something, do you try to be super precise or do you not care? I don’t care for drawing and am aware of just how bad I am at it, so I barely make any effort when I have to. When was the last time you snapped at someone? Sunday morning. My mom was playing a mobile game where the character will only be able to move if you scream, so she was screaming her ass off at 7 AM and I was worried it would wake the neighbors up. Does it bug you when people clap with their palms? HAHAHAHAHA like Nicole Kidman? Oh man. I’ve never actually seen someone clap the way she did in real life, so I don’t know if it would bug me. I know it’d send me laughing, though. Have you hugged anyone today? Just my dog. Classes have been suspended because of the Taal erupting, so I’m not seeing anyone else today. How many languages do you know how to say 'happy birthday' in? Filipino, English, Spanish, French, and Korean, so make that five. What language would you like to learn that you don't already know? Korean, just because I watch so many Korean shows as it is lmao. Are you able to take this language at your school? Yes, but it’s not required in my curriculum so I’ve never taken a Korean language elective. Have you ever been into a bar? Yes, I’ve always preferred bars to clubs so I’ve gone to a lot of them. What ethnicity are you? Broadly, Austronesian. But specifically, I’m Filipino, and even more specifically, Tagalog. How much makeup do you wear? None. I usually wear makeup only for special events, or if I absolutely had to, like for my graduation shoot. If you could fly, what kind of wings would you have? I’d like pink sparkly ones please hahahaha. Write some lyrics from the song stuck in your head right now. Nothing’s playing in my head at the moment. Do you like that song? Would you describe yourself as 'fiesty'? You mean feisty? I can bring out that side of me if I have to, but I’m not naturally it. How corny is High School Musical in your opinion? Pretty fucking corny. But I love the series and it’ll always be an important part of my childhood, so I’m never going to hate it. Have you actually read Twilight? Yes. I don’t know how I started getting into it though; I just remember it became insanely popular in the fourth grade and all of a sudden I wanted the Twilight boxed set for Christmas. What about Harry Potter? Yes, I read most of the books. My sister got into HP when she was aroundddd 10-11ish and my parents also got her a boxed set, so I borrowed each book after she finished them. Out of the two, which is better? Twilight.
Name a member of the Beatles! Ringo Starr. Who was the name of your first crush? My first real crush was Andi. How long ago was that? Eleven years ago. Do you still know that person? She migrated to New Zealand nine years ago, so we got disconnected for a long time and that’s when we got cut off. We’re Facebook friends now, but it’s never been the same. Happy for her, though. Can you handle your emotions very well? Usually I can, but when I’m at my breaking point then I’m at my breaking point. How often do you read books? Once every five years :(( JK uhhhhh I read loads, just not from books, and particularly not anything fictional. Are you the jealous type? I can be when there’s reason to, yep. Are you the type of person who gets jealous of people's pasts? No. And usually people regret their past, so I don’t feel jealous about that. Have you ever gotten an ear infection from riding an airplane? No. My ears were incredibly uncomfortable during my first plane ride though, and it didn’t help that I was already panicking long before the flight started. Anyway, my ears never fully ~popped and I was like 80% deaf for the entire plane ride. When was the last time you witnessed someone throw up? The last time someone threw up, it was me lol. But if we’re gonna be strict about the question, it wassssss last April I think. When was the last time YOU threw up? Sometime around May last year. Do you know anyone who faints at the sight of blood? ME. I’m anyone who faints at the sight of blood. Maybe not literally faint but I do feel super nauseous and weak and dizzy and I’d sometimes gag too. Hmm. I wonder how those girls have their period. Yeah well it’s not a very fun 3-4 days for me, my dude. Don't you just love the Cottonelle puppy? I don’t know what that is. Can you do any 'magic' tricks? No. Do you know how to play Checkers? I used to as a kid, because we used to have lots of board games. But since it was the game we barely ever played, I eventually forgot the rules. What clubs are you in at school? I’m in one of the two journalism organizations, and I also joined the graduation committee this year so that I get to contribute something for our batch :) What do you fear most in this world? Either falling from a very high place or drowning. And injections. What do your siblings fear most in this world? I know my sister is afraid of big crowds, chaotic situations, and small spaces. I don’t know what my brother fears, nor do I really care. What was the last sentence you heard anyone say? I’m listening to a mukbang ASMR right now and the last thing the girl said was her basically describing what she’s about to eat. Is Taylor more of a boy's name or a girl's name? I know we’re not supposed to care about this anymore, but if I really had to think about this question I see it as a boy’s name. But I also see that it works on girls just as nicely, so. What about Dylan? Boy’s name. But it sounds so badass on girls, and I prefer it as a girl’s name. What colors are the eyes of your family members? Dark brown/black. Filipinos all look the same, dude. Are you related to anyone with red hair? No. Do you know anyone with super super green eyes? Other than celebrities, no. What color was your hair when you were little? It has always been black. What color is it now? ^ Were you a chubby baby? I was a pretty chubby young kid especially from the ages of 3-5, but I was an okay-sized baby/toddler. I’d be surprised if I was chubby considering my mom and dad are both slim. What is your favorite mythical creature? Not a fan of those. Do you know anyone with a mullet? No, I don’t think so. Put down a random word here. Watermelon. What is your favorite fruit? Avocado. Now what is your favorite flavor of lollipop? Chocolate. If you combine your 2 above answers and make a perfume would it smell good? Probably not. They’re so different. Do you always feel like you have to be the best? Yes. That’s why I always take it hard when I end up not being that. Are you looking forward to summer? Yes, because I’ll get to rest. No, because it will be my last summer until I die. Are you wearing socks right now or are you barefoot? I’m barefoot. Socks always feels like they’re there, and I don’t like that feeling. What's on your favorite necklace? I’m not regularly wearing any necklace these days. How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Around seven, which is okay for me. Which is better: gingerbread or butterscotch? Caramel or peanut butter? Nutella or chocolate? Do you own an iPad? We own a family iPad, but no one’s used it in a while. I was the one who used it last as a means to work and communicate, back when I broke my phone and didn’t have a new laptop yet in my first year of college. I honestly hope that iPad never dies on us, since there’s a load of great memories there. Do you watch Glee? No and as someone who hates song covers, I think I’m better off not watching it skksjfdhgfg. How hard is it for you to get out of bed in the morning? When that day would require me to do something I dread, like attend a class I hate, it will be a lot harder for me to get up. But generally I’m pretty okay, as long as I set my alarm 30 minutes to an hour before I actually have to get up so that I have enough time to properly wake up. How many books are in the current room you're in? I’m in the dining room so there are zero books around. Have you ever witnessed an aircraft break the sound barrier? No. I also never really knew what that means, but I know I’ve never seen that. Do you keep a sketchpad in your room? I don’t draw, so I never needed one. Is there anything you do right before you go to sleep? Put water on my dog’s bowl – he likes drinking before we doze off. What color is your favorite purse? I only use one and it’s pink. How much money is currently in your wallet? ₱2,000. Do you get an allowance? Yes. How many songs are on your iPod? Don’t use an iPod these days. Do you usually have sweet dreams or nightmares? My dreams are either weird or nightmares. I never get any sweet ones. How has the weather been lately? It’s a little gloomy and cloudy. I don’t know if it’s an effect of the volcano eruption nearby, or if the weather is just like this. When was the last earthquake you felt? It was either August or September.

Despacito
It’s 11:50 pm, I haven’t missed the deadline.
Summary: Roman’s not really into memes. Logan adores them.
Words: 798
Warnings: defenestration, I think that’s it but lmk
Logan wasn’t always “hip with the kids,” but he sure did try. Roman had seen his room; there were stacks upon stacks of index cards, far more than any collection that Logan would summon up during a video. Logan, behind thick nerdy frames, was the one who consistently kept them current on which vines were hot, what up-and-coming platforms they needed to be on, which challenges were trending and which ones they were too late on.
All that was fine. It was good, even! It really cemented him in an important spot among the sides. All that stuff even seemed like a serious topic when Logan brought it up, because of Necktie Powers, probably. And with Logan relegated to Research, sifting among all the lame stuff to get the gems, it left the other sides to just enjoy the things that he brought to them while also working on their own projects. Roman could do the inspiration and creativity; Patton kept them from doing the dangerous-yet-highly amusing things (well, usually) and made sure that the tone of Roman’s project was consistent with the values Thomas hoped to portray; and Virgil and any other sides who bothered to involve themselves usually ended up being various degrees of wet blanket. It was a good system that everyone knew their place in.
There was one thing that really drove Roman batty though. One piece of internet culture that he suspected that Logan actually really loved, though he’d never admit it. One thing that he was even more attuned to than Virgil.
Memes.
Logan tried to play the haughty academic when confronted, saying that memes started because of science or something nerdy like that, but Roman believed that was more of an excuse than anything else. Roman was the side concerned with love, and he could easily see that Logan’s love for memes was up there with his love of chemical engineering, astronomy, and learning itself. And while he missed references like an untrained squire on the first day of archery class, Logan had an almost perfect memory for memes and could drive any other side to knowyourmeme after an extended bout of silliness.
To be perfectly honest, Roman wasn’t really into memes. Sure, they were amusing sometimes, but he still hesitated to engage with anything where the goal was to imitate and copy rather than do something unique. Logan’s passion for them went really deep though, especially for how short-lived most of them were. Usually, Roman could brush off his annoyance at Logan’s hobby, reminding himself that no matter how annoying Logan was being, he’d be bored with it by the end of the week. Sometimes he could even laugh at the meme for the whole duration that Logan engaged with it.
He was getting really sick of Despacito though.
They had Alexa in the mindscape, because of course they did. Thomas had both an Echo and a Tumblr in real life, so how could they not? There was an Echo in their false copy of Thomas’s living room, but they could also just say “Alexa, do this” in any part of the mindscape and like Notus blowing in a summer storm, the task was accomplished. Usually, Roman was grateful for that range, as it made things really simple.
Today though, he really wished that Alexa stayed only in the living room. Nothing put a dampener on a quest like hearing one song seventeen different times in the same day. Even the manticore-chimera was putting in a lackluster effort. Logan must really be enjoying himself for the Alexa to overpower Roman’s own tunes by so much.
Roman was so distracted that the snake tail ended up catching him off-guard, breaking his sword and drawing blood from his hand. More irritated than anything else, he waved the fantasy into nothingness. Then, he sunk out of his room, popping up in the living room.
“Are. You. Serious?” he said immediately upon seeing Logan. “I have been trying to have a relaxing adventure all day, Logan, and I think I’ve been more than tolerant of your memeing hobby, but this is going absolutely overboard! Do you know how many times I’ve heard that song today? There’s only so many times I can hear Justin Beiber in one day, regardless of how catchy the song may be, and I have reached my limit!”
Logan had looked confused and annoyed at the beginning of his little speech, as Roman had interrupted his conversation with Virgil. Once Roman had finished, Logan had only one thing to say.
“This is so sad, Alexa play Despacito.”
Roman promptly yeeted Logan out the window so hard that he disappeared into the stars like an enemy in a classic anime. Hopefully, it would take him a little while to get back.

Misanthropic Affection
Fill for this prompt on the kink meme. Non-canonical oneshot set in same au as a planned long fic also inspired by that prompt.
Content Warnings: underage, non-con, emotional manipulation, referenced child abuse
A gloved hand strokes down his cheek, the latex pulling against his skin unpleasantly but the warmth of its touch sends a shiver through Izuku.
His breathing speeds up as he is half embraced from behind and a heavy figure presses him against the steel bed of the laboratory, the hand continuing to stroke his face gently. He feels the solid chest of the person behind him, a warm heavy weight that has him bending over the steel bed, his hands quickly moving to support him.
"Midoriya-kun...you are an exceptional assistant. The potential I saw in you as an intelligent, quirkless child has been developing nicely. You are...untarnished in every way."
The soft voice of Chisaki-san comes from the figure behind him, his breath ghosting over izuku’s ear. The sensation tickles and he squirms, although the way he is being pressed against the bench prevents too much movement. The sound of Chisaki-sans voice, which for izuku is normally reassuring, sends chills down his spine.
Chisaki-san is a big fan of personal space, except, it seems, when it comes to izuku.
Chisaki-san, he's noticed, is more...well, affectionate with Izuku than with anyone else he normally interacts with. The occasional hand on shoulder, standing quite close, and the nature of their work has them touch hands carelessly a lot too. While with anyone else Chisaki-san takes great care not to endure any casual touching.
This is well beyond the usual level of closeness they share and he has no idea what to do.
"C-Chisaki-san...? um, what-what are you--"
"Good work deserves recognition." Chisaki-san cuts him off without a single indication that he heard him. Although he speaks in the same gentle tones, there’s a hint of warning in the statement that has Izuku quieten.
The hand that was stroking stops and moves to cup his chin as a second gloved hand slowly caresses from his hip to the zip of his trousers. Izuku inhales sharply through his nose and flinches away, or at least tries to as the hand on his chin tightens painfully and Chisaki-san’s body does not budge.
“I understand that for most teenagers sexual stimulation is highly sought after, and have observed that you also have such desires. We have a close relationship Izuku. I imagine that having someone you trust fulfill your desires would make it better.”
Chisaki-san says this in a precise, technical tone, that despite the hand unbuttoning and unzipping his pants, has him cringing more at the awkward delivery than the unwanted attention.
It’s the hysteria of this situation, he thinks, the idea of Chisaki-san telling him that he’s about to- to give him a hand job? For his good work? He’s gone insane. This has got to be the weirdest nightmare (wet dream?) that he’s ever had. It can’t be happening, even as he feels a latex-covered hand slip underneath his all-might brand boxers and-
And-
“Although, if you would prefer a different person to perform this for you, you may say so. Would you like me to get someone else, Izuku?”
“N-no! I-”
Izuku would prefer for no one to “perform” this for him. He is in fact ready to continue, voice breathy and panicked high at the multiple sensations engulfing him and the consuming desire to not acknowledge what’s happening, when Chisaki-san interrupts him.
“Ah…that’s good... It would be troublesome to try to find somebody else who would do this for you, you realize?”
“W-wha-?”
Izuku can hardly get a word out to answer, his brain is too busy trying to process the warm hand wrapped around his dick, squeezing firmly and moving in business-like strokes that pulls the latex glove over his skin in a way that has goosebumps breaking out all along his arms and neck.  
It-it feels nice, in a way, which is probably how Chisaki-san intended it to feel, for it to be a Proper reward. He’s never had anyone touch him like this before, and its new and terrifying and kind of? Good? At least, he thinks Chisaki-san seems to have better technique than when Izuku touches himself. That’s a good thing, right? And the solid press of Chisaki-san’s body against his trembling back is actually his biggest comfort at the moment, so it can’t be entirely awful?
It’s just, the rest of the situation that has him gasping for air that he swears the room was full of only a second ago.
It’s probably a panic attack, because he can still feel the steady rise and fall of Chisaki-san’s chest behind him and if it was the one to a million chance situation where someone was using some kind of-of quirk to flush the air out it would affect Chisaki-san too. He was sure of it. The constricted feeling of his chest and throat the blind panic that has him only able to focus his suddenly minimal concentration on the hand in his pants and the chest at his back the way his vision is getting a little blurry it’s all so-
So-
He wants to tell Chisaki-san to stop so badly, has wanted to tell him to stop since he pressed him up against the bench even, but now more than ever Izuku needs him to stop because he feels like if this continues he’s going to pass out from oxygen-deprivation.
“C-Chisaki-san plea-please stop, I need to- I’m going to- please-“
His voice breaks at the end, and even with his eyes screwed up he can feel the beginnings of tears. Within a fraction they’re spilling out and down his cheeks leaving hot, wet trails as they go.
The hand around Izuku stills while he sobs messily, voice hitching loudly in the echoing silence of the laboratory. He attempts to smother himself, hands clasping desperately over his mouth, but it only has him convulsing terribly hard in Chisaki-sans grip.
His whimpers still escape through the tight grip of his fingers.
The hand on his chin had moved away quickly when Izuku started crying, and now with both hands Chisaki-san deftly tucks him back into his pants, the panic attack having made his half hard dick completely soft.
The pressure of the body behind him disappears. Without the strong chest functioning as a support for him to collapse into izuku slides down onto the floor, sobs wracking his entire body as he leans onto his knees desperately.
He can’t calm down. It’s all too much.
He spends what seems to be a while on the floor, crying more in that moment than he has since learning of his rejection from Yuuei. Which is… impressive considering how easily he tends to cry. The thought is absurd, but he’s trying so hard to stop crying and the shock of what had just happened to him is only making Izuku sob harder.
It wasn’t- Izuku does trust Chisaki-san, he’s known him since he was a kid, he’s practically family, and he’s not a bad person but that, that was unexpected and- not okay. It wasn’t okay.
He chokes on his muffled cries and buries himself harder into the shelter of his arms.
He probably only spends less than ten minutes huddling on his knees sobbing, but it feels like hours when a weight suddenly settles gently on his shoulder and Izuku flinches away, letting out a watery squeak.
“Izuku…”
Almost without conscience thought his head snaps up at the sound of his name being called with such …soft pain, and through tear blurred eyes Izuku sees Chisaki-san sitting only a few feet away. His face is bare and in one hand he holds the box of tissues they keep regularly stocked in the lab. The other is still extended to where Izuku’s shoulder was only a moment ago.
He’s breath stops in his throat, the tears he thought would be never ending ease up. Like an animal caught in the bright halogenic lights of oncoming traffic, he sits and stares in fear and wonder.
Izuku has never seen Chisaki-san without his face covered.
Throughout all the years they’ve known each other, even during big holiday feasts that the family would hold at every get-together, Chisaki-san had not removed the covering over his nose and mouth. When Izuku had been very young and very curious about everyone and everything, he had asked Chisaki-san why. He hadn’t been at all shy to ask him anything at the time as Chisaki-san had already become one of the few people who would willingly engage with him and let Izuku talk with him forever about heroes and quirks and his dreams.
It had been a shock to Izuku to then get such a serious and solemn reply when Chisaki-san had never shown him anything but calm neutrality. Unexpected intensity had shone through Chisaki-san’s dark eyes as Izuku had stared transfixed.
He had told him of the impurity of the world and the people in it, how much it disturbed him, and although it hadn’t been the first time Chisaki-san had talked about such a thing, it was the first time Izuku had felt that little burst of uncertainty about his older friend.
He feels it now too. The sharp anxiety creeping underneath his skin as his eyes explore the biggest secret of one of his oldest friends. The handsomeness had already been betrayed through the material of his masks, but the sight of Chisaki-san’s mouth and the little frown of concern marring that handsome face was like seeing something taboo. Izuku feels a hysteric compulsion to spill the words bubbling in his thoughts at Chisaki-san, to ask if he knows what he’s showing to izuku.
Because it means something that Chisaki-san has taken off his mask while Izuku silently sits there an absolute mess with tears and snot covering his face and staining his shirt.
After what they (he) had just done, and as he speaks quietly in that firm precise way that Izuku always found reassuring, it means something.
“I am sorry Izuku, I didn’t consider how intense it would be for your first time… And it was unfair of me to approach giving you something pleasant for your work like this. I thought you would enjoy this, but now it’s like I’ve gone and punished you instead…”
The tone Chisaki-san takes with Izuku, the measured cadence and precision of his words, never fails to draw him in. It wasn’t the way people tended to speak to children. Even as a teenager, especially a quirkless teenage with crybaby tendencies, he had suffered through a lot of adults being pretty condescending or patronizing when talking to him. Whenever he got to talk with Chisaki-san though, he got treated as an equal. Someone who knew what they were talking about and could be expected to understand what was being talked about.
Izuku feels himself relax somewhat at just the sound of it. His thoughts have stopped racing so fast as his even his remaining sobs break down to only hiccups catching on his breath and the streams of tears start to dry tacky and gross on his face.
He reaches out tentatively and takes a handful of tissues from the box Chisaki-san had been holding out for him ever since he finished apologizing.
The world feels a little more normal as he blows his nose and rubs at his eyes hard, breathing in deeply as he does so. While he cleans himself, he thinks over Chisaki-san’s regretful apology fully, the words finally having a chance to wash over him now that his mind is clearer after his…break down.
And the guilt hits Izuku like it’s just been delivered through a hit from the number one hero himself. It sits uneasily in his stomach as he mulls over what had happened. It…hadn’t been okay for Chisaki-san to have snuck up and surprise izuku like he had and he was right to have apologized for that but… for the rest of it, Chisaki-san had been right.
Doing stuff like that, w-with Chisaki-san even, had been on his mind lately. After years of Chisaki-san being to Izuku what he could only think of as the third coolest person in his life (after his mum and all-might of course), for being so patient and letting him talk and spend time with him even though he was a teenager and then a young adult, Izuku may have developed a bit of a…crush.
And after all the time they spent together, and Izuku’s unfortunate plummet into puberty, it left him with being extremely and embarrassingly into Chisaki-san on all kinds of levels now. It’s a somewhat soul-crushing realization to find out it was noticed so quickly.
And Izuku had…he had enjoyed it, hadn’t he? He had gotten hard and he had thought it was good at the time. Chisaki-san shouldn’t have to feel like he had hurt Izuku for trying to give him exactly what he had wanted.
Chisaki-san had just been trying to- to do something nice for him and Izuku had fucked it all up by freaking out. Overreacting like the inexperienced, immature teen that Chisaki-san had never treated him as.
Maybe that’s why Chisaki-san had been right earlier too, why no one else had ever given any intention to kiss him let alone give him- to do that for him. Would anyone else ever even want to?
He feels more tears collect in his eyes and furiously swipes at his face to stop it. He doesn’t need to cry again. He just needs to escape this monumentally embarrassing situation already.
Izuku tries to gather his thoughts, a dull flush spreading across his cheeks at what he will have to admit and quickly avoids Chisaki-sans curious gaze.
“N-no, you don’t have to f-feel bad about that, I-I’m the one that’s sorry…I just overreacted a bit. It wasn’t…”
He feels Chisaki-san staring at him silently, his intensity slightly unnerving but Izuku takes a deep breath and continues.
“It didn’t feel like a punishment Chisaki-san…I-you were right, when you said this was what I wanted. I enjoyed it.”
His words fall awkwardly from his mouth and his face becomes even redder and hotter at his confession. He bites his lip and wishes that he hadn’t just said that, feeling acutely Chisaki-sans attention on him. Chisaki-san is silent for a few seconds more and Izuku’s entire body feels like its vibrating from the anxiety of being dissected by his gaze so thoroughly.
Chisaki-san finally speaks, and his face breaks from its poker-faced stillness into an expression of gentle relief.
“It’s a relief to hear that it wasn’t so torturous for you Izuku. Despite this experience still being somewhat…unpleasant for you, I’m sure you will become more used to the feeling. It will be much better for you next time.”
Izuku doesn’t quite manage to release the breath he had been holding. Chisaki-sans expression is lovelier than he could’ve ever imagined and it’s relieving that Izuku hasn’t ruined the relationship between them but…there is a sickly dread that grips his heart when Chisaki-san says next time.
Despite just admitting to wanting and enjoying the attention he had been given, Izuku mouth can only manage a small smile, one that certainly can’t hide the awkward, unwarranted fear lurking behind his eyes.
Chisaki-san stands up slowly from his crouch, towering over Izuku as he remains sitting, the feeling in his legs having not yet returned. He looks down at him calmly once more; like this is the end of a situation they find themselves in daily, the same as packing up and saying good night to each other before leaving. The thought makes his pulse jump nauseatingly.
Chisaki-sans speaks softly down to him. “We will be leaving any more research for tomorrow; I think the excitement of this afternoon calls for that at least.”
Chisaki-san give Izuku another small, close mouthed smile that he returns clumsily, before reaching into his jacket pocket to fish out his discarded face mask.
He turns to leave but after only a few steps he stops and remarks almost casually, “You know you don’t have to keep calling me Chisaki-san, Izuku. I think by now, we’re close enough for you to call me Kai, don’t you?”
Before Izuku can reply Chisaki-san—-No, Kai—strides out of the room, leaving him alone in the large, silent laboratory, still sprawled out awkwardly across the cold floor.
He quietly starts to pick himself back up.
