Alone at Last Pt 1

Kyle's fic should be out already by the time this gets posted, so I hope you guys enjoy it!! This one I am sooooo excited for, I might actually make it a small series, drug dealer Kenny is my weakness, cause he most definitely would sell drugs, and take drugs most likely. Warnings: NSFW content, not suitable for minors, drugs, alcohol and strong language!! AGED UP CHARACTERS

"Let's get the fuck outta hear." Kenny spoke to you on the phone, he'd had another argument with his parents, and this was the final straw.

"They think I'm a like a charity! I sell drugs for a living, I ain't gonna make no money if they keep taking all my product!" He shouted, loud enough for his parents to hear, and you could hear them screaming back at him in the background.

"Ken, babe, come over." Your tone was gentle, calming, and that was just what Kenny needed right now, he physically and mentally couldn't take it anymore. He was trying his best to make the most out of a shitty situation, and once again his parents were ruining it.

"I will babe, not until I pack all my shit first, I ain't coming back to this shithole, I'd rather shoot myself in the head again, it's more enjoyable." He shouted back at his parents, and you knew his frustrations. You and Kenny had been dating for a while now (3 years), and you had lost track of how many arguments he and his parents have had over the years, and how many times Kenny had appeared at your house, battered and bruised.

"My mom's out, Ken. Come over." You said once more, and Kenny let out a long sigh, you could hear rustling in the background, as if things were being put into plastic bags.

"I'll be there in ten. I love you."

"I love you too, Ken."

And with that the line went dead. You knew Kenny's resolve was worn incredibly thin, much like your own. Your mother was no where near as bad as Kenny's parents, but she put drugs and men before you, she always had and she always would. You were just thankful that you were an only child, Kenny wasn't that lucky.

You sat pondering in your own thoughts as you heard a loud knock at the door, and you opened it, Kenny walking inside, his car parked outside, and looking full to the brim with his possessions.

"When's your mom coming back?" Kenny asked, wrapping his slender arms delicately around your waist, pulling you closer to him.

"Not a fucking clue, she never even tells me when she's heading out, never mind when she's coming back. Why, what's wrong?" You enquired, wrapping your own arms around Kenny's neck, balancing on your tip toes to place a kiss on his lips before he spoke.

"I meant what I said on the phone, y/n. Pack your stuff, we're getting the fuck outta this god forsaken town once and for all. Somewhere we'll not be judged for not being well off, somewhere we can actually thrive together. The only good thing that's came from living here is meeting you, please say you'll come with me?" His eyes were soft, pleading with you to join him, and you smiled back at him, his serious face melting away into one of sheer relief.

"Let's do it. We've got each other, we don't need anyone or anything else. Come help me pack." You spoke, taking Kenny by the hand, leading him to your bedroom.

"We could always get frisky before we go." Kenny flirted, giving your ass a slap, making you jump in surprise, spinning to look at him.

"Or I could suck you off while you drive down the freeway?" You offered, knowing that Kenny would never turn down an offer like that.

"Then what are we waiting for babe, let's get your stuff packed and get this show on the road!" Kenny exclaimed, a smirk on his face as you both began cramming clothes, shoes, makeup and anything else you owned into two large suitcases. You lifted your glass bong and Kenny took it from you.

"I've got a box in the back of the car that this can go into so it doesn't get broken, babe." He said, pulling an unlit joint from his jacket pocket, placing it delicately between his chapped, pale pink lips and sparking it up, taking a long drag of it and exhaling, passing it to you.

"You ready to go, babe?" You asked as Kenny took down one of the pictures from your bedroom wall, and put it under his arm.

"Can't forget our prom photo, now can we? Now get your sexy ass into the car and I'll bring your stuff out and put it in the back." Kenny spoke, as you passed the joint back to him, it now hanging from his lips lazily as he puffed on it a few times.

And finally, once everything was inside, you both smiled at each other, smoking the joint between you both as Kenny rolled down all the windows as the car reached the last part of South Park.

"See you never, assholes!" Kenny shouted from the window, and you let out a few whoops yourself, both of you smiling stupidly at each other on your way to make a new life.

Rantaro and Korekiyo with a sick partner <3

i'm sick . apologies in advance if this is written strangely !

i love my boys ; some of this is a little intimate, but not explicit

enjoy :)

Rantaro Amami

Growing up with so many sisters, a caring instinct was practically ingrained into his brain.

He can tell when you’re coming down with something, and will stop you from doing anything once he catches the first hint.

You stood desolately in your lab, leaned up against one of the counters. You had work to do, but the weighted feeling of ailment hung on your shoulders and eyelids; it was hard to do much of anything in these conditions. 

“Things are looking real productive in here.”

Your boyfriend's voice startled you slightly, but your nerves were soothed as you felt his fingers press into the back of your neck, causing you to let out an exhausted sigh.

“Just… tired, I guess.”

Rantaro hummed softly, using a gentle hand to tip your chin up to look at him. “When was the last time you drank water? Your lips are chapped.” 

You could only shrug, time was moving strangely and you didn't have the energy to calculate your water intake. Your weakness was apparent, making concern well up within him. Regardless, he simply had you take whatever work you had to do up to your dorm to work on in bed. 

He brings you anything he thinks you might need, picking up the specifics of your condition while youre delirious with illness.

“Hey.” 

You wake up groggily, too weak to even look at him as he puts a hand to your temple to see how warm you were. “Are you allergic to anything? Ibuprofen, penicillin, anything?”

You mutter a response soft enough for only him to hear, and he hums an affirmation, putting a kiss to your temple.

The next time you see him, he's spooning you cough syrup and placing water glasses on your bedside table regularly; times like this, you wonder, how did you get so lucky? 

Korekiyo Shinguji

You don't know how he does it, but it seems Korekiyo can just sense when you're about to fall ill.

“Your aura is different today, my love.” you brush it off with a laugh and a flushed face, assuming he's just complimenting you in a strange way. But he keeps a close eye on you, suspicions confirmed when your voice becomes hoarse and your limbs weaker.

He’s always trying to incorporate his studies in with your recoveries; you’ve consumed more ancient remedies than your families home remedies because of him; most of which were very helpful.

Korekiyo insists you keep your eyes closed often when you're sick, for whatever reason. You're unsure if there's a scientific reason behind it, or if it just helps him rest easy, knowing you were resting to some degree, or…

“Kiyo, I’m serious, I need to get work done.”

Your boyfriend tsk’d softly, putting you back into bed with a gentle push. 

“I’m quite serious myself, lovely. Your work won't be the best it could be if you perform it under your current ailment.” With that, he made a soft stroke over your face, inclining you to close your eyes.

Literally how you would a corpse.

He's so cute, but it's time like these you see how people get a little off put by his nature.

You let out a defeated huff, wallowing in the overbearing haze of your illness; eyes shut, mouth agape, lips chapped and mouth dry.

You felt Korekiyo’s hand brush your hair away from your forehead, and the soft sound of rustling leather reached your popped ears faintly. Another slim hand slid its way under your upper back, lifting you up.

A soft, warm, sensation planted itself on your forehead. It took a few seconds, but you slowly processed that he was kissing you. A smile grew onto your face, a mellow giggle escaping your lips in the process.

“You've got a fever, I’m afraid.”

He takes your temperature with his lips when a thermometer isn't available, and honestly you've started to question if that's why hes so keen on having your eyes closed. Regardless of your position as his girlfriend, he's still not too comfortable being seen with his mask off.

You've asked, and he insists it's just the most accurate way to determine whether someone has a fever without a thermometer. Given that hes always wearing gloves, you guess he’s not wrong.

Though, some part of you wants to believe that he just wants to kiss you.

Bonus poly hc’s <3

Both Korekiyo and Rantaro have notably cold hands, Kiyo moreso. While they sometimes use it to tease you, (pressing their hands to your back when you're unsuspecting, snaking their arms around your front unprompted, etc.) it's actually quite pleasant when you're feeling feverish.

On the contrary, you find that they’re not opposed to using their charm to “sweat out” your fevers. 

“Oh, you poor thing. You need to lay down, let us take care of you.” “My love, how it pains me to see you like this… yet you’re still so beautiful.”

Kisses to your temples, hands… other places. Anywhere that gets your blood pumping and sweat flowing.

They try and cuddle with you… all the time, and when you're sick, it’s no exception. You try and argue with them, telling them how sick they'll get ; to no avail. You fall asleep with them both at your sides, arms crossed over you as if to keep you strapped into bed with them.

As much as you protest, there’s nowhere you'd rather be.

I Hurt You

Rating: G

Relationship: Heinz Doofenshmirt/Perry the Platypus

Add tags: Human Perry, mute Perry, POV Outsider, possibly a sister fic of When We Didn't Get Along, whipped this up real quick before I go back to actual productivity.

A/N: Inspired by the ask sent to Liz here

---

Chamy shushes everyone in the bullpan pantry so loudly it throws spittle in James' face, making him quickly twist his body with a hand over the his cup of coffee to keep it from contaminants. He kicks Chamy in the ankle to retaliate, but they ignore him easily, already distracted by the screen.

He doesn't know why they think they needed to do that; the chatter falls into a deathly silence when the gentle whoosh of Dr Feelbetter's post opening credits flashcards whirl on-screen, which is impressive, considering the sheer volume of bodies a 6 by 9 ft room could ever hope to comfortably contain. But OWCA work PCs were monitored, and there was no hope in recording Dr Feelbetter's Specials on the Evil Channel without your device somehow blowing into pieces anyway. The only way to catch today's episode was to watch it live, and there was not a single gossip hungry soul in OWCA that would dare to miss it.

The camera pans to Agent Panda, hefting an armchair over his head, and James' eyebrows creep up his forehead, wondering if the drama happened in studio before the cameras could catch it. The audience would never forgive him.

But then Agent Panda throws the couch into a messy stack in the corner of studio, and the camera catches someone in the crowd swooning. Ah, comic relief. Someone in the pantry, James thinks it's Sergei, snorts loudly.

"Thank you, Agent Peter the Panda, I've been meaning to stack those chairs." Phil says, to which the agent bows sarcastically. The camera pans back into the studio set, and James is sure they weren't going to see Peter again. "Dr Heinz Doofenshmirtz, it's time."

The statement is almost somber, the lights of studio turned down low. The camera switches focus, back onto the men of the hour, and Jesus, fuck, James doesn't think he'll ever get over how agent Platypus looks like.

He's looking, there was simply no way around it, absolutely horrible. With the unmade hair and red-rimmed eyes, the unshaven stubble, and darting eyes. Hunched shoulders and chapped lips. Not fidgeting, though, and his suit—sans Blazer and tie--was nothing short of crisp and pristine, but it is a pocky sheen of dignity. It's…startling. Disconcerting.

Perry was the best of them. He always had been; the kind of hero-eque idol you'd count yourself lucky to meet, much less work with on a daily basis. He had a spleen of steel and the aura of giants, despite his less-than-impressive stature. Perry had the family, the respect, the reputation and the skills to back it up. Christ, Perry the Platypus had it all. The freshies talk about him like he's a God among men, and Perry even had the envy of haters who can't even pretend he isn't worth the hype when they look him in the eye. And to see him so reduced, and for…what? Some hacky evil scientist Francis keeps insisting wasn't worth the audio recorders they planted all around his laboratory is…

James sips his coffee, internally disturbed. Just who was Heinz Doofenshmirtz? What makes him so special?

"Tell Perry the Platypus how you feel." Feelbetter suggests, and James watches as Perry rubs his lips with the tip of his finger, the hollow look in his eyes.

"Perry the Platypus, I'm," Heinz starts, and stops, and starts again. His voice sputters, and his fingers twist, but his gaze-on Perry-they do not waver, and Perry seems to smile despite himself. "I'm sorry, I really am. Perry, I am so so sorry. I'm sorry that I-I hurt you, when I wasn't trying to hurt you."

Heinz's eyes, blue and watery, there was no mistaking the apology, the watery sincerity. When he gets on one knee by Perry's feet, James could've sworn he hears Chamy quietly sniffle. The songtrack, instrumental, slow and sentimental, is subtle—but it plays out the scene of the studio in perfect harmony. They're really milking this for all it's worth.

"I swear," Heinz continues. "If you give me one more chance, I promise to only hurt you in the right way. With cartoonish physical violence, and elaborate traps constructed out of strange things I purchased over the internet."

The humor is half-hearted, but Perry (along with some of the in-studio crowd, and the pantry itself) finds themselves chuckling anyway, despite the mood of the hour. Perry buried his face in his hands, the crooked upwards curl of his lips unmistakeable, but so was the sniffle (crackling over the mic), the fresh tears trailing down his cheeks.

There is a collective gasp in the pantry, and James hides his gawping behind the rim of his coffee cup. Behind him, Agent Beatrice the Bee lets out a sympathetic coo, and he hears someone go, "What the hell?" James can relate; he couldn't have brought himself to imagine in a hundred years he'd ever see Agent Perry the Platypus, the best agent of OWCA, brought to tears. He didn't think that was physically possible.

The studio had also been brought to sympathetic cries, but Heinz isn't paying attention to any of them. He was crying too, reaching out, and Perry clasps both Heinz's outstretched hands in his own, still attempting to muffle loss in composure. It's a beautifully heartfelt moment. He's sure Feelbetter's going to want to keep this one in the books.

"What do you say?" Heinz asks, like a vow. Christ. Feelbetter squirrels in by the edge of the camera, right by Perry's shoulder and James feels like throwing his coffee at the screen for ruining the moment.

"Well, Perry the Platypus? What do you say?"

Perry spares Feelbetter only a single glance, before he turns back to Heinz. Their eyes meet, gaze heavy with all the words they couldn't say in front of a live studio audience, before Heinz, finally smiles.

Perry smiles back. Off-screen, someone hands him his hat back on a silver platter, and he doesn't hesitate a single more second before he takes it, putting it back on his unruly hair. The audience coos and cheers.

"Oh, what a beautiful conclusion folks! How absolutely wonderful!" Feelbetter cries.

In the third floor OWCA's employee pantry, the crowd bursts into their own cries of relief, patting each other on the back as they celebrate while pretending nobody had cared either way.

"That's better than any of my soaps." Chamy quips, as the crowd begins to thin along with the end of lunchbreak. Both of them were still standing there, because James had a hunch that something was About To Happen. "Nice to be reminded that Perry's just like any one of us, really."

Chamy would know, of course. Their nemesis-ship with the Sinister Sisters would hit their 20th Anniversary this Friday. A nemesis-ship, he'd been repetitively told by his graduating supervisor back in the Academy, was a commitment, so maybe they all should've seen this coming, really.

James wonders about Peter. He'd heard the guy had his own nemesis, back in Seattle. Someone should be looking into what happened there, but Mystery—some Doctor or Professor or other—was infamous for being almost undetectable. Perhaps they had the better sense to keep whatever happened there under wraps instead of coming onto a live studio recording for professional help. Maybe Ann was right and Perry really was a sucker for attention.

James is pulled out of his thoughts as Heinz gets to his feet, pulling a button out of his lab coat pocket. Uh-oh.

"Thank you, Perry the Platypus." He says, before he clicks the button, effectively trapping all studio staff members and OWCA agents in the crowd, and alarms began blaring all through the headquarters as Monogram and Acronym are demanding cavalry to the Feelbetter set in LA, double time. Chamy curses, and James finishes off the last of lukewarm coffee in three large gulps.

"Let's never speak of this again," he says.

"Agreed." Chamy answers. Agent Jackal and Chameleon shook on it, before they rush out of the office to save the day.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action… But, what if it was made by Disney?

Bizarre AU idea that spawned from chatting with friends about old school sci-fi stuff.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action, if by Disney at the time.

Basically has Roger Rabbit in place of Daffy and Mickey Mouse in place of Bugs Bunny as the toon leads.

All this as to reference his co-star type role within the Disney parks for a while til he was not used anymore, along with the scrapped “Stooge” buddy comedy starring him and Mickey.

As for the story, it remains overall the same. ACME Chairmen plots to turn the population of the world into monkeys to uses as a labor force to mass produce the products, then turn them back to human as to buy said products. Only with a few additions of the deleted content from the film, such as the poking fun of the lack of chemistry between DJ and Kate.

Most of the cameos being Disney owned or acquired properties at the time.

As for the alternate selection of the Area 52 aliens, I was thinking: Big Chap (original Xenomorph); a Facehugger in place of the Fiend without a Face; Marvin’s role goes to the Martian Robot from Disney’s life on mars animated film; Maximilian from The Black Hole, maybe the 80’s version The Thing, and that’s all I got for it now. What do y’all think?

As for the set-up, following the events of WFRR, Maroon Cartoons fell to the bidding floor and got acquired by Disney. At the beginning, they just had ownership and left it to keep producing it’s own cartoons w/ just one of their own executives to oversee production and run it. Eventually by the later decades fully assimilate into the parent company. An effect of the hard times of the 80’s. There was a brief resurgence of popularity with the VHS package releases of Roger’s works. Was short lived and Roger more or less fell to near obscurity levels (according to what Kate brings up). So, he is to be fired while they keep the properties. So, the Rabbit has been trying to drum up interest with various pitches for movies for himself to star in and who to possibly star with.

The dynamic of him and Mickey is “full of energy, happy go lucky, somewhat desperate, over-dreamer” and “their supportive, but tries to remain realistic”.

More or less all I gotta say for now. I might even do a few screenshot edits with this. Who knows?

"It wasn't that I ever wanted to play Barbie, or dreamt of being Barbie, or anything like that," Margot Robbie says. "This is going to sound stupid, but I really didn't even think about playing Barbie until years into developing the project."

For Vogue's Summer issue, Robbie opens up about the "Barbie" movie's winding road to the screen, including how her production company, Lucky Chap, finally got the long-discussed project off the ground, and her part in persuading Greta Gerwig to both write it (along with her partner, Noah Baumbach) and direct. "At the time this was such a terrifying thing to take on," Robbie says.

"People were like, You're going to do what?"

Fic and Schedule/Prioritizing Update!

Love me some damn possum memes

So! Fics right? What I’m trying to prioritize right now are a Croc comfort fic, Croc smut request, Buggy the hat stays ON, and Straw Hats and the Three Unwise Men x marine reader. Running concurrent with that are chap 2 of Coronary Tale, part 3 of TLC massage, and ABO Law x reader x Penguin x Shachi. There’s an ungodly amount floating below those too 🥴 Luckily some progress has been made!! Just no completion yet lol

I am going to try and let the AuDHD demons have more leeway in hopes that it may get at least fucking sOMETHING done so there will likely be more posts of shorter and more random things going up. One of the reasons I’ve been nervous about that besides the hubris filled and doomed to fail pursuit of perfection but also because of self imposed guilt around productivity in general as well as worrying that it would come across that I’m shirking the bigger stuff and more importantly the things I’d like to make for people.

The things I see getting down the quickest that aren’t in the writing priorities are more sketches, one piece crochet, a dumb fun Shanks headcanon/drabble post, a layout of an AU I headed a bit back and have been building on, and ideas/plans for a distant Sabo fic that’s like a canon divergent AU (esp when it comes to celestial dragons there will me Many Liberties)

Also some reposts probably. May they not meet their second death 💀

Also gotta remake the lil baby masterlist at some point 🤡

Below cut more personal stuff if you wish to skip!

My second and third gigs have been asking more than they generally were and I recently had to step in on an orchestra to help my teacher and I’ve been keepin my folks and grandparents houses runnin on all the off spots so I have been struggling to find time and also mental space to create those I desperately want to 😭 I’m very frustrated with it because I feel I should be doing better at that cuz it’s not like I’ve never Gone Through It before 💀 I am at least quite lucky that I’ve been able to shuffle it all around health stuff just enough to keep it all rolling and esPECIALLY lucky my main gig ain’t firing me for health issues interrupting work. I digress though - mostly just a little vent and idea of where my attention is currently spread. I’m gonna try and push to get more out slightly against better judgement because yes spend more energy when big burnt out Bad but also creative things are supposed to help mental health and other stuff aint doin it so why not 🤷🏼‍♀️ if it gets worse that has its own perk at this point 💀

Current Skincare Routines 🎀

I have a morning skincare routine and two separate night routines depending on the day of the week. I'll also include some tips that work for me at the end!

🩷 AM Routine

1. I wash my face with the Clean & Clear Morning Burst Face Wash.

2. Once I dry my face, I use the Clean & Clear Morning Burst moisturizer.

3. Chapstick or lip balm on my lips for some nice, not chapped lips before I do makeup and/or apply lip gloss.

🩷 PM Routine: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat

1. I wash my face with the Clean & Clear Essentials Face Wash using warm water and do a final rinse with cold water. Of course, I pat dry with a clean paper towel.

2. I rub some Clean & Clear Essentials Toner along my face to remove dead skin. I have to be careful with my eyes cause it will burn them if I get it in my eyes.

3. While the toner is still a bit damp on my face, I pump some Clean & Clear Essentials Moisturizer onto my cheeks, forehead, chin, and a little on my nose and pat it in gently.

4. I let the moisturizer dry a little bit and then apply some face serum while it's still damp. I pat this in as well, as it's better for absorption than just rubbing it in.

5. Occasionally, I'll use an acne spot treatment. I use The Clean & Clear brand.

6. Next, I use my Spascriptions Lift and Firm Eye Cream (the pink one) under my eyes for extra hydration while the serum absorbs into my skin.

7. Depending on how I'm feeling, I'll use either the SNP Snail Gel or the SNP Pomegranate Gel to lock in everything. I usually choose the snail gel as I prefer it, but it again depends on how I feel!

🩷 PM Routine: Sun, Tues, Thurs

1. I wash my face with The Body Shop Vitamin E Gentle Face Wash using warm water and do a final rinse with cold water. Of course, I pat dry with a clean paper towel.

2. I use the Clean & Clear Lemon Exfoliating Slices.

3. Occasionally, I'll use an acne spot treatment. I use The Clean & Clear brand.

4. Next, I use my Spascriptions Lift and Firm Eye Cream (the pink one) under my eyes for extra hydration.

5. Depending on how I'm feeling, I'll use either the SNP Snail Gel or the SNP Pomegranate Gel to lock in everything. I usually choose the snail gel as I prefer it, but it again depends on how I feel!

Now, for some Tips

Pat your face dry, never rub it with a towel. Rubbing it causes friction and pulling on the skin while patting is way more gentle on the face.

Initially wash with warm water but always final rinse with cold water. A while back heard this helps with your pores, so l've just always done it and it makes my skin feel nice, especially in the morning!

Try to use either paper towels or a departed face towel (not your body towel) when drying your face. I myself use paper towel for my face and my skin doesn't typically break out.

Brush your teeth before applying skincare! This way, you don't disrupt the skincare surrounding your lips when brushing your teeth, flossing, or using mouthwash.

Always wash your hands before starting your skincare routine to minimize bacteria getting on your face.

Always try to patch test and figure out what works best for your skin, never just use what's viral or popular because not everyone has the same skin type. I feel lucky that my skin typically likes most products.

Do your research! When I find a product that interests me, I watch Pinterest and YouTube reviews. I also like to read ingredient lists, application directions, and details on products, and always Google what products can and can not mix together. it's helped me determine what to buy and what not to buy, and so far, my skin has loved it!

Try to wash your pillowcases at least once a week and avoid touching your face with dirty or greasy hands. Also sanitize/disinfect your handheld devices/audio devices (cellphones, iPad or tablets, headphones, etc), eye glasses/ sunglasses, and really just keep anything that touches your face as clean as possible. All of this helps to minimize how much bacteria and dirt make contact with your face. Research different things that may help with improving skin. lce rolling, gua sha, silk pillowcases, physical exfoliates, face masks, etc. Look into stuff that might help your skin or make a difference in your skins appearance and health.

This should've been higher up, my apologies, but drink your water! Staying hydrated on the inside definitely shows on the outside, and being hydrated is an essential component to health overal!

Don't be afraid to apply skincare to your neck!! I've seen photos of older individuals who took care of their face and not their neck and the difference between face and neck skin was astounding, so I personally like to rub excess hydrating serums and moisturizers into my neck as well.

Don't pop your acne! If you do get pimples, which I used to get all the time tho it's slowed down a lot, use a warm/hot washcloth or something similar to apply heat to the pimple. This will help it pop naturally, although popping your pimples may allow for the oil, dirt, and sebum to spread to other areas which may cause more acne. Popping acne with your hands may also cause scarring.

Love your skin!!! Skincare results take time, and there's going to be ups and downs while trying to find what products work for you, so try to love your skin throughout the process. Acne and other skin issues are caused by things sometimes out of our control, such as genetics, hormones, climate and weather, etc, so try not to be too hard on yourself!! Things will improve, and if they don't, after some time, seek out a reputable and trustworthy professional for an opinion and better direction on how to care for your skin!!

Not Just a First Love - 1/? | Dirty Dancing (2017) fanfiction

A/N: I just watched this remake of Dirty Dancing tonight, and while the original is better, I still got engrossed in this one and felt the need to change that ending! Who knows when I'll update again, but I'll be more inclined to if I get positive feedback! Check it out if you're interested! This first chap is just a tweaked version of the ending scene of the movie, but I have many more ideas for where this could go. Enjoy.

...

Synopsis: Nothing is ever by chance. Johnny Castle believes that especially when it comes to Baby.

...

Chapter 1 -

The play brought tears to her eyes, especially the choreography, and she knew why. It wasn’t just because the production took inspiration from her first novel of the summer her life changed forever.

It was the reason the dancing was so special.

It was…Johnny.

Ten years had passed. They’d gone on their separate paths, and though it was heartbreaking at first, they’d both moved on – she became a doctor and he found his true calling on Broadway. She was engaged now, that wedding just a month away now. And yet, as excited as she was for those upcoming nuptials, she felt those feelings of love and anticipation fade to the background as she was drawn back into the fairytale drama the summer she turned 18 had been.

She’d fallen in love for real that summer, and she could almost taste what that had felt like, watching the dancers and seeing the story unfold.

Inevitably though, the play ended and people started to exit the theater. She was the last one there in fact. Still wiping tears from her eyes at the memories the production had brought to the forefront of her mind and heart, she almost missed the individual whose mouth fell open at the mere sight of her.

She was older now, wearing make-up with a longer hairstyle, but there was no mistaking who she was. Just like him, looking a bit more dapper in more sophisticated clothing and something akin to bangs draped across part of his forehead.

“Baby?”

She gasped and turned around.

“F-Frances, I mean.”

He cracked a grin, the same one that made her weak at the knees at 18.

“You recognized me,” she said, smiling tremulously.

“Your face is on the back of your book,” he confided, and her smile widened. “Obviously I’ve read it a hundred times.”

She blushed.

“A hundred times, huh?”

And they stood there, bashfully smiling, living in the moment for as long as it would last.

“The play was incredible,” she said, breaking free of the web she was getting tangled in. “I noticed your choreography right off the bat.”

“Oh, yeah?”

“Yeah.” She giggled. “Took me back.”

“Well, your book was the inspiration…and that summer. That summer changed everything for me, Baby.”

He was so serious now that she didn’t bother to correct him.

“For me, too,” she added.

“I never thought I’d make it on Broadway until you convinced me.”

“It definitely took some convincing.”

“Your words stuck with me.”

Her heart beat faster.

“Your dancing stuck with me.”

She licked her lips.

Then, from behind her a man came down the aisle, muttering to himself about something. Johnny wasn’t paying much attention, but Frances recognized who it was immediately.

“Frances, for god sakes, what is taking so lo-”

“Charlie,” she said warmly, ignoring his increasing temper. “I’d like you to meet Johnny. Johnny Castle. He did the choreography for the play tonight.”

Charlie blinked, confused, and then shook Johnny’s extended hand.

“Pleasure.” Johnny smiled. “And who are-”

“Charlie is my fiancé,” she said, avoiding eye contact from both men for a few brief moments.

“What a lucky guy,” Johnny said, and there was no mistaking how strained his voice was.

“Yeah. Right.” Charlie turned to Frances and whispered something that appeared to involve something quite urgent.

“Okay, I’ll be right out.”

He sighed, didn’t bother to look at Johnny again, and strutted back up the aisle into the lobby.

“He seems delightful,” Johnny commented, and she allowed herself to laugh.

“He’s just stressed, under pressure…I’m sure you know what that’s like.”

“I do.”

A brief moment of silence, and then—

“Well, I should g-”

“I should probably let y-”

A chuckle followed by a smile.

“It was good seeing you again, Johnny. Truly.”

He leaned in for a hug, and she gave it to him. More than, actually. She sunk into it, breathed it in, breathed him in, and was transported to another time.

When they parted, tears were in her eyes again.

“You still dance?” he asked. “I know that’s not in your bio.”

She laughed.

“I take a salsa class once a week just down the road from here. It’s all the time I can spare as a d-”

“Doctor,” he finished. “Sure.” He smiled. “Well, keep that up. Don’t ever stop dancing.”

He winked, and she felt them again. Butterflies.

“Goodbye, Johnny,” she said at last, forcing herself to turn towards the exit.

“Bye, Baby,” he called back, and she smiled to herself on the way out. No one ever called her that anymore, and she wouldn’t let a single soul…except him.

So now indeed, as always, thank you so much, chaps, for engaging the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience, and thank you very very much for watching. But hey, hang on a second, cause there's more. We have more that we're going to tell you. Sean Allison: Excuse me, Dave. We obviously need more to tell you. Dave Matson: All right then, Sean. We gotta explain more at that way. Sean Allison: Okay, Dave. We may apparently need more to explain. Ah yes, indeed. We may handle it at that way. At that case, it had apparently been ironic that Shalim had sadly died at the very end of "January Robinson Uncork'd". ...

We'll be taking a short break...

We're now back again.

... Dave Matson: It had eventually been a shame that Shalim had ironically disintegrated into oblivion at the very end of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. But anyway, we would like to thank you so much for continuing to support Sean Allison Productions inc. and Dave Matson Entertainment inc., because i'm so proud of my girlfriend Rhonda. Sean Allison: I agree, Dave. We two would like to thank you very much for resuming on supporting Sean Allison Productions inc. and Dave Matson Entertainment inc., because i'm so proud of my girlfriend Lori. Well by the way, it had been a very too-way-long troublemaker-slaying adventure experience filled with lots of odds and ends, as well as some various logo intro bloopers. Dave Matson: Well of course indeed, it had certainly been a very far-far-away, too-way-long and too-much-way-longer-lenthing troublemaker-slaying adventure experience full of random odds and ends, as well as some various logo intro bloopers (including LT Bloopers and ESC Bloopers). But eitherway, we can't hardly wait to start up an all-new reboot of "Sean and Dave's new maintenance". Sean Allison: That's right, Dave. We two can't hardly wait to start it up ahead into an all-new reboot of "Sean and Dave's new maintenance." Well because of that, we're all delighted to officially launch an all-new reboot of Sean and Dave's new maintenance, because i'm seriously thrilled to get ready for some brand new adventures. Now indeed by the way, we're planning on doing some brand-new shows to start up an all-new reboot of "Sean and Dave's new maintenance" at Sean Allison Productions inc. and Dave Matson Entertainment inc.. Dave Matson: That will indeed be a good idea, Sean. We're apparently going to decide that we will plan on doing some brand-new shows to start up an all-new reboot of "Sean and Dave's new maintenance" at Sean Allison Productions inc. and Dave Matson Entertainment inc.. You actually need to suggest for which of your favourite member of our crew would like to handle it a good idea. Oh well. I don't know it either. Well. Maybe not. Whatever. Sean Allison: Well. That will be particularly interesting. It will indeed be certain that you might suggest for which favourite member of our crew will get a good idea. Well obviously, i don't know it eitherway. I literally don't know either. Ehm... Maybe not. Well. I don't know. But anyways, let us know in the comments if you think that's an awesome idea. Dave Matson: Oh well, that explains it. You may obviously know in the comments if you would like to suggest that it will be an awesome idea. Sean Allison: Well then now, alas and alack, we're unfortunately coming to a final end of "January Robinson Uncork'd", because we're sadly coming to an ironic, sad end of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. Well because of that, we're going to sit back, relax and enjoy taking an absenced break. Dave Matson: Oh well, that is ironic, Sean. I'm so sorry that Uncork'd Industries had been shut down for good. But anyway, it are indeed official, because we two are going to take an absenced break. Sean Allison: But don't despair, Dave. After the aftermath of "January Robinson Uncork'd", we will thankfully get back to business again, so that we can officially get ready to start up an all-new reboot of "Sean and Dave's new maintenance". Dave Matson: Wow! That's very nice of you, Sean. I'm so glad that you've thankfully resurrected me. Well of course indeed, if this will exactly be what everyone really wants, then we two will fulfull their wish. Well this indeed are exactly why we two will be very proud to tell you that after the aftermath of "January Robinson Uncork'd", we will thankfully get back to business again so that we can officially get ready to start up an all-new reboot of "Sean and Dave's new maintenance". Well precisely, it will indeed be a good idea, cause i will certainly agree it at that pretty good way. Sean Allison: Of course you got it right, Dave. We will indeed agree it a pretty good idea. All right, everyone. Let us all have a great holiday. ...

We'll be taking a short break...

We're now back again.

... Dave Matson: Oh yes, we do, Sean. We're now going to sit back, relax and enjoy a very wonderful holiday so that we all can have it a very good time. Sean Allison: Precisely, Dave. We're seriously going to have a good time. Well eitherway for now, we gotta thank you so much for watching. Dave Matson: Yes, we do. We would now thank you very much for watching. Sean Allison: Of course we gotta thank you for watching, so for now, it is time for us to say goodbye. Dave Matson: Oh boy. It are now sadly time to say goodbye. Goodbye to all of us. Sean Allison: Goodbye, one and all. Dave Matson: Goodbye and thank you very much for everything. Sean Allison: Oh Count Floyd! It is goodbye to everyone. I'm so sorry that we had made it a relief. Well then eitherway, as always, thank you so very much for engaging "January Robinson Uncork'd", and thank you very much for engaging the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience, and of course as most of all, thank you very much for watching. Well precisely, i do hope that we will see you again soon. Dave Matson: Of course i do hope that we will see you again next time. But eitherway, thank you so very much for engaging "January Robinson Uncork'd", and thank you so very very much for engaging the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience, and of course most of all, thank you so very much for watching. It had really been a very long adventure far-away from home, but for now it is over, cause we're now finally back home again. So now eitherways, i do hope that we will thankfully see you again next time. Sean Allison: Well of course indeed, i do hope that we will thankfully meet again for an all-new reboot of "Sean and Dave's next maintenance". But anyways, until then, we will now sit back, relax and enjoy a wonderful holiday. Dave Matson: That's the spirit, Sean. We two will now certainly sit back, relax and enjoy a wonderful holiday, so that we can all take a vacation. Sean Allison: It will indeed be wonderful that we're going to take a vacation, so for now, we will now ironically wave goodbye. Dave Matson: Oh brother. That explains it. We're now sadly gonna wish you goodbye. Sean Allison: Yes, we do. We're now gonna sadly say goodbye. But anyways, until next time, say no to drugs, say yes to... Coca-Cola! Dave Matson: Okay. It are indeed why i'll get it. I gotta actually suggest that you gotta first say no to drugs, and then you gotta say yes to Coca-Cola. Sean Allison: Okay, Dave. That will indeed be a good idea. Well then eitherway, we're unfortunately coming to a sad end of "January Robinson Uncork'd", because we're ironically coming to an ironic sad end of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. Well that's because it is time to say goodbye. Dave Matson: Indeed i'm afraid it are unfortunately time to say goodbye, because we're sadly coming to a sad end of "January Robinson Uncork'd", cause we're ironically coming to an unfortunately ironic end of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. Well yes indeed, it are now sadly time to say goodbye, because it is truly the end of an old era of Sean Allison Productions inc. and Dave Matson Entertainment inc.. Well not only that, it are also truly the end of an old saga at Sean Allison Productions inc. and Dave Matson Entertainment inc.. But anyway, as one old saga ends, an all-new (thou another one) saga are about to begin. And of course, as our old series ends, our brand-new (thou another one) series are about to begin, because an all-new saga are about to be reborn. Sean Allison: Well said, Dave. It are indeed seeming so wonderful. But anyways, that is it, chaps, we had finally accomplished "January Robinson Uncork'd". Dave Matson: Oh brother! That was exactly it for now, cause we had finally accomplished "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. ...

We'll be taking a short break...

We're now back again.

... Sean Allison: Well at least, we had successfully saved the world, cause everything had restored back to normal. Well by the way, the Earth had been restored back to normal, cause it had been reconstructed back to its original glory. Well eitherway, it are now sadly time to wave farewell, cause we're unfortunately going to say goodbye. Dave Matson: Oh sphincter! It are now sadly getting late, cause it are now sadly time for us to wave farewell, cause we're unfortunately going to say goodbye. Sean Allison: I'm afraid it is time to say goodbye, but anyway, we can eventually have a look at all of our accomplishments. Dave Matson: Oh wow. That's very pefect indeed, Sean. We will indeed see all of our accomplishments. Sean Allison: Of course you do, Dave. Anyways, i will once again give you guys a brief summary for what kind of something brand-new that are going to happen at the early beginning of "Sean and Dave's new maintenance". Well obviously, if you're watching this like a far-far-away future, you don't even worry about it, so you gotta check out my profile, for more brand new videos, blogs and much much more. Indeed it is because they should all be up, but if you're watching this at that day of or that day after you know it when we had engaged it, then i will be doing everything on covering pretty much everything that i possibly can, despite that i were doing a compilation of one of our favourite moments of "January Robinson Uncork'd". Besides, i had also watched an compilation of all those boss battles of "January Robinson Uncork'd". Well anyways, if you know it, i maybe do guess that i obviously think that i had found a collection of all those battle cards that we had used during "January Robinson Uncork'd". Now indeed i'm sucha sure that i don't know for what else there is to show off but i'll figure it out at those stadiums. Well for sure, but.. ehm... i don't know what else maybe, but ehm maybe... ehm whatever. Anyways, here we have all those achievements and rewards that we had obatined during the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. But however, not only that, we may also not forget an recap of all our favourite moments of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. Yup, it will indeed be interesting that we're particularly watching an recap of all those various famous highlights of one of our favourite moments of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. Now at once that you know it, well without you like thou transitions within between it. So i guess it's just like engaging a very long adventure experience. Well eitherway, that's enough for me. ...

We'll be taking a short break...

We're now back again.

... Dave Matson: Oh wow! That are indeed interesting, Sean. You're particularly doing sucha fascinating stuff, cause it are actually satisfying like this. Well ehm anyway indeed, we would like to give you a brief summary for something brand-new that will possibly happen at the very beginningof "Sean and Dave's new maintenance". Now besides, if you're watching this just like a distant future, there is nothing to worry about. You just need to check out my profile so that you can be sure for more brand new videos, blogs and so much more. Besides, i do know that they should be it all up, but have you ever been watching it at that day of or that day after we had engaged it, i better be doing something on covering so much of everything i will possibly handle it, whenever i were engaging a compilation of one of our various favourite moments of "January Robinson Uncork'd". Speaking of which, i had also watched a very-long compilation of all those boss battles of "January Robinson Uncork'd". Well of course, i do know it, cause i guessed it perhaps, ehm..., though that i particularly think that i had recovered a collection of those battle cards that we had collected during "January Robinson Uncork'd". At that case, i'm actually certain that i don't even know what else i gotta show off, but anyways, i do figure that out at these stadiums. Anyways that i'm sure, i maybe don't know what else, but maybe... oh well, i don't know. But eitherway, these are all those achievements and rewards that we had won during the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. But ehm eitherway, we may obviously not gotta forget an recap of all our favourite moments of the "January Robinson Uncork'd", cause we will actually get it interesting on particularly watch a recap of all those various famous highlights of one of our favourite moments of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. So now eventually, just so you know it at once, despite without you like this thou these transitions within it between. But ehm actually, i guess it's like engaging a full-length adventure experience. Well eventually enough with that, it is enough with you and me, so for now, Ah yeah, that's gotta pretty be much going to be it for tonight, so we gotta thank you very much and say goodbye. Sean Allison: Well, that's it, Dave. We're now signing off for tonight, cause that's pretty much going to be it for tonight, so for now, we gotta sadly say goodbye.Dave Matson: Of course you said it, Sean. We're now unfortunately saying goodbye, cause we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, so with that, we will now come to the very final part of our old adventure experience where it is time to say goodbye, because it are indeed finally time for us to say goodbye. Sean Allison: Well indeed it is goodbye to everyone, because we two would like to thank you very much for watching, so now, yes indeed, thank you all so much for watching. Dave Matson: Thank you very much for engaging a very long adventure experience. It had really been a very long adventure far away from home, but for now, it is over, cause we're now finally back home again. Well of course, it are so nice that you said it very well, Sean.

Sean Allison: Of course we gonna thank you so very much for watching. Well eitherway, if you'd been watching this that if you've been here since the very early beginning of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. Dave Matson: I guess you meant that you had watched it that you were right there since the very early beginning of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience. Sean Allison: Well obviously, the very beginning of the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience had apparently been rubbish. But anyways, the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience are unfortunately coming to a sad end, cause it's time to say goodbye. ...

We'll be taking a short break...

We're now back again.

... Dave Matson: You got it right, Sean. Well yes indeed, the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience are unfortunately coming to an ironic sad end, because it's time for us to say goodbye.

Dave Matson: I told you that it were really meaning a lot for you. Well indeed, we're so happy that we will thank you so much for those tremendous support for "January Robinson Uncork'd". Ah yes indeed, we will indeed thank you very much for watching. And thank you, guys. Thank you so much for watching. Thank you so much for everything, and thank you so much for engaging this too-way long adventure experience, and of course, by the way, thank you so very much for this tremendous support for the "January Robinson Uncork'd" experience, because it had really meaned it a lot for me. Sean Allison: Now indeed i do guess that it had meant a lot for me and Dave. But ehm anyways like i said, i will apparently have something interesting that i want to explain. I will indeed suggest that you guys want to check out an all-new reboot of "Funny Signs and Errors", as well as an all-new reboot of "Funny Engrish". Dave Matson: Of course we got it, Sean. We will indeed engage it an all-new reboot of "Funny Signs and Errors" and "Funny Engrish". So now eitherways, i do know that it are apparently different like this.

Glamour in Pink

It’s been a few weeks and all the Barbie Oscar nomination discourse has kind of died down. I’ve been waiting to chime in on it because I have a completely different take on that whole situation, and I kind of didn’t want to be called a misogynist for it. I don’t think my opinion should be all that inciting but, you know, the internet It’s like a box of cats out there, even more so on this hell site, but I’ve been around for years and want the smoke so here it goes. See, I watch movies. I’ve watched a ton of goddamn movies in my life. Probably several thousand. I mean, you can probably tell that from the fact I have a tertiary blog strictly for reviews. Be it television, film, comics, games, whatever, i have my soapbox. I also watched most of the films in the corresponding categories in which Barbie was “snubbed”. For me, these weren’t snubs. I’m not going to get into how the feminist film wasn’t recognized by the Academy and whatever else because that’s an emotional response. It’s like when people wanted Black Panther to win something. I disagreed then, too, for a lot of the same reason. Plainly put, Barbie, like Black Panther, just wasn’t good enough.

Best Director

Best Director was loaded to the gills, man. I didn’t see The Zone of Interest, but the rest of those films are, in my opinion, were directed much better than what we got in Barbie. I’m not taking anything away from Greta but, just surface level, I can honestly say the guiding hand of Lanthimos, Nolan, and Scorsese, kind of exposed a lot of what Greta was doing with her film. It’s weird to say, but watching Barbie kind of made me realize that Greta is still a little rough around the edges in terms of her craft. Those other names on the list, they have a clear vision as to how to execute the narratives they bring to the screen. Greta has this ability but it didn’t feel as focus in Barbie as it did in, say, Little Women. I don’t know if that’s because this wasn’t an adaption but compared to the others in this category, I see why she was left out. Like, what the f*ck was up with all of the Will Ferrell sh*t, anyway? Why did it take up so much of the film?

Best Actress

Straight up, my gut tells me Margot was robbed. Putting that out there immediately because I have a massive Robbie bias. I think she is an incredible actress and admire the f*ck out of her finding her own way in the industry with her Lucky Chap production company. All that said, objectively, this category is probably tougher than the Best Director one. Again, didn’t see Anatomy of a Fall so I can’t comment on Sandra Huller but every other actress on this list, f*cking killed. Carey Mulligan, for sure did her thing in Maestro and, while I found that film to be kind of boring overall, her performance never disappointed. Annette Benning is a giant in the industry and she threw that weight around in Nyad like it was just second nature to her. Lily Gladstone was absolutely brilliant in Flower Moon. She brought so much depth and emotion to that role, it would have been hard not to include her in this category. Now, for my money, Emma Stone takes this category because her time spent as Bella Baxter was incredible. Id Oppenheimer didn’t exist, Poor Things would be my Film of the Year, and that’s almost exclusively because of Emma f*cking Stone!

I may sound like I’m going in on Margot and Greta but I cannot stress enough how that’s not the case. I absolutely believe Greta is an exceptional director, Ladybird proved that, and my love for Margot is profound. Hell, even after everything just said, I don’t begrudge the fact so many people feel slighted that they got slighted. Like, they JUST missed the cut, in my opinion. If any one of those films slid into next year’s competition. If, say, Poor Things had a January release, Barbie would be right there. It is a really, really, great film and definitely deserves the Best Motion Picture nod, but I don’t think it’s good enough to win. I don’t think it deserves that gold. I think Runner Up or nomination, is just fine for what we have. The competition is just way too strong this year, which is why Margot and Greta didn’t get the nods. It’s not some gran, -Isitc, conspiracy. There is no irony to be had here. Greta didn’t put together a solid enough effort by comparison and Margot got lost in the shuffle of an unusually strong Best Actress class. That’s all. Seriously, watch the other films in their categories and tell me which one doesn’t deserve to be there. You tell me which film gets the boot to let Margot and Robbie in. I bet you’re going to have as hard a time as I did trying to figure that one out.
