Schlocktoberfest XIV - Day 3: Night Of The Demon

Night Of The Demon (1980) Trailer: *Spoilers Throughout* What’s This About: The horniest goddamn Bigfoot you ever did see. Here are some of my observations as I watched the film: What’s with the Maxwell House coffee drip sound effect for the IV tube? Is this the music video for “One” again? Professor Nugent is the one in bed badly burned and wearing gauze like he’s a soldier for Cobra. I…

Since even though Thanksgiving is over, I wanted to do this drawing really quick before the day is over. So I drew for Thanksgiving where we have five people cooking dinner and five watching TV. And I know some other people are doing something else. Like I know Scottie, Paul and Bonn are playing some games together, Caleb wasn't feeling Good so Riya, Sam and Cude double check on him if he feels like eating and then go somewhere else for a bit and even play with Lighting, Speedy, Zack, Penny, Julie, Sammir, Miya and May. So we have Debby, Lisa, Tory, Windy and Rita cooking and they can also watch TV while they cook too. Because I know Shadow, Spot, Maxwell, Zack and Speedy are watching TV too while wearing bagged clothing. They're watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and watching the National Dog Show. Which I'm sure Spot, Rita and Aace are going to love. And Debby can tell Rita all about the Dog Show. Plus I'm sure the boys are keeping each other warm. And the girls are doing the same watching the Parade and the dog show. Until Lighting had to watch a Stream on YouTube and it's Dani making something involved from one of her friends and taking the idea. Afterwards I'm sure everyone will have a nice dinner together. So I was glad we had a great Thanksgiving.

Pairing: Tim Bradford X reader

Warnings: none,lots of fluff

A/N: Zoe is named after Zoe Anderson the late Captain

Baby Bradford’s first Christmas

'Twas Christmas morning,

Not a creature was stirring, not even the cat.

The Bradfords were asleep in their beds.

Y/N wakes up on Christmas morning and reaches over to turn on the lamp on the nightstand next to her. Tim immediately rolls over away from the light. Y/N scoots closer and runs her fingers through his hair. “Timothy,” she coos into his ear. “Wake up! It’s Christmas“. He rolls towards her and smiles. “Hi, sweetheart,” he says before pulling her closer and kissing her. “You ready to get Zoe?” she asks with a bright smile.

They quickly put on their matching Christmas slippers and walk down the hall. Tim walks up to their 8-month-old daughter’s crib and smiles down at her. She looks like Tim but has Y/N's long lashes and thick brown hair. She smiles when she sees him. Tim picks her up and starts peppering her face with kisses as she laughs at him. "Merry Christmas, baby," he says while Y/N takes a picture of them. She leans in to kiss Zoe but wrinkles her nose. "You need to change her," she laughs. "Why me?" He asks. "Because she's your daughter." She says back. "What is that supposed to mean?" He asks with a smile.

While Tim changes Zoe and puts on her matching Christmas PJs, Y/N turns on the TV to the Macy's Christmas Day parade and makes coffee. She gets a bottle ready for Zoe and puts it on the coffee table. Osleya the cat comes in and purrs as she rubs against her ankles. "Hi, baby, how are you?" Y/N says as she picks her up. "I hope you didn't forget about us," Tim says, walking into the living room while carrying Zoe. "How could I when you look so cute together in your pjs she says, smiling up at him. "Do you want to get her presents?”he asks while sitting on the floor next to the Christmas tree with Zoe on his lap. Y/N sets Olseya down and pulls the presents closer and sits in front of Tim. Y/N starts to open the present and lets Zoe pull the wrapping paper off. Once the paper is off, Tim opens the box and pulls out a little police onesie and hat. She smiles and starts grabbing at it. Y/N puts the hat on Zoe and takes a picture of her with Tim behind her. "Open your present, Tim,” Y/N, says. Tim reaches over and grabs the present with his name on it. "Nothing is going to jump out at me this time, is it?" He asks. "I don't know. You gotta open it and see." She says with a mischievous grin. He reaches in and pulls out a mug that says Daddy cop with little booties. "Really, baby," he says with his eyebrows raised and his mouth slightly open. "There's more in there," she says with a laugh. He rolls his eyes and pulls out a Dodgers Christmas ornament. His eyes light up, and he reaches over to kiss her. "Thank you, Y/N," he says when he pulls back. He reaches behind him and pulls out a small box. "Open it, he says". Y/N opens the box and pulls out a charm bracelet with a T and a Z on it. "There's space to add more in the future," he says. She hugs Tim, and he hands her Zoe. "Look, Zoe, look what Daddy got! "she says to her while Zoe plays with the charms. “Thank you,” Y/N says while hugging Tim.

An hour later, Y/N finishes getting ready for Tim’s sister Ginny, Angela’s family, and Maxwell to come over. Once Y/N is ready, she puts Zoe in her red velvet Christmas dress. Once Zoe is ready, Y/N carries her into the kitchen, where Tim is checking the oven. “My girls look so beautiful,” he says when he sees Y/N and Zoe. He walks over and hugs them right as the doorbell rings. They all walk to the door and open it to see Ginny at the door. “Hey guys.” She says as she walks through the door with a pumpkin pie in her hand. Tim takes the pie from her and goes to set it on the kitchen island. “Hi, Zoe,” she says as Y/N hands her to her. “You look so much like your dad!” Ginny says to her. "She also wakes up at the crack of dawn like him too." Y/N says. "Haha, very funny," Tim says sarcastically. Just then the doorbell rings for a second time. Tim goes to the door and opens it to see Angela, Westly, their two kids, and Maxwell. "Hi, habibis," Maxwell says with a big smile. Tim shoots Y/N a look, and she starts laughing. "Hi, Maxwell, how are you?" She says while hugging him. "You should see your face," Angela says to Tim with a laugh.

30 minutes later they all sit around the dining table. Angela and Tim talked about a case they've been working on, and Westly and Ginny talked about books they've been reading. "Has Zoe found a favorite food yet?" Ginny asks Y/N. "She seems to like carrots and avocado," she says. "The boys liked avocado too." An hour later they all sit in the living room while the kids spend time together and play with Osleya while Maxwell gets the kids their presents. “Hey Angela, do you want to see what I got Tim?” she asks. “No, don’t,” Tim says, embarrassed. “What is it I’m interested in now?” Angela says. Y/N walks into the kitchen and pulls the mug out of the cabinet. She holds it up for Angela to see, and she bursts out laughing. “That’s cute. Tim, your face is priceless,“ she says as Tim’s face turns red. “Ok, that’s enough of that,” he says grumpily as he puts the mug away.

Once everyone has left and Zoe is already asleep, Tim and Y/N lay on the couch. “Did you have fun?” Y/N asks while looking up at Tim. “I did. I liked the mug even though you embarrassed me.” He says back. Y/N laughs against his chest. "I'm sorry, do you still love me?" She asks sarcastically with big puppy dog eyes. "You're cute," he says back with a chuckle.

OTHER PERSONAL INFO:

During summers in her last two years of high school, she performed for tourists in Branson, Missouri, living with her Aunt Gracie.

She met Cathleen Spengler when they were in an off-off Broadway production of Kiss Me, Kate; Cathleen was playing Katharine/Lilli Vanessi and Willow was playing Bianca/Lois Lane. The two struck up a friendship, and shortly after Cathleen gave birth to her second daughter Marie, she introduced Willow to her friend Ray Stantz. After a whirlwind courtship, the two tied the knot on Halloween 1990.

She was nominated for Best Featured Actress in a Musical at the Tony Awards in 1991 for her role as Sister Ruth in a musical adaptation of Black Narcissus, but lost to Daisy Eagan.

She would later win Best Leading Actress in 2001 for her role as Polly Kern in Red as the Curtain, a Drowsy Chaperone-style vaudeville satire mixed with the blood and guts of Chicago.

Both of her pregnancies were rough-- her pregnancy with Addison was especially uncomfortable and the labor/delivery was fraught with complications, while during her pregnancy with Natalie, she was still dealing with the emotional fallout of the Spenglers' perceived betrayal.

INSPIRATION: Glinda Upland (Wicked), Ivy Lynn (Smash), Elliot Reid (Scrubs), Effie Newsome (Murdoch Mysteries), Cathy Hiatt (The Last Five Years), Erika (Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper), Jenny Lind (The Greatest Showman/Barnum), Wendy Darling (The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy)

NAME ANALYSIS:

Playlist available here

[aintenisiki]

🐩 ————————🐩

Title: Home alone, but not quite. Fandom: The Nanny Summary: Fran and Maxwell leave Gracie home alone for the weekend to go to Paris (because what else do these two dorks do?), trusting their responsible teenager to keep everything under control. What could go wrong? (Spoiler: Nothing. Because Gracie is a pro… at calling a cleaning service and ordering pizza.)

Genre: Comedy, found family, the nanny banter Word count: 2,649 Warnings: Heavy use of sarcasm, overprotective Fran, and a Gracie who might just be smarter than everyone combined.

Why read?

• It’s The Nanny, cmon!! You’ll get all the classic Fran sass, and a little of Gracie’s growing independence, and of course, Maxwell’s obliviousness (be serious, is it really that nanny without that dumb hunk?)

• Guaranteed to make you laugh and maybe feel a little nostalgia for 90s sitcom family chaos.

No actual pizza was harmed in the making of this fic, but your stomach might growl by the sheer amount of times it was mentioned

Excerpts :

Gracie: ”Fran, I’m sixteen. I think I can go a few days without you capsizing the house.” ———— Niles: *”Don’t worry, Fran— she’s had excellent role models! remind me, how does the oven work again?”*

Fran: ”Hey! I know how to work an oven! It’s the big hot box, right?” ———— Fran: “Negotiations? Sweetheart, I’ve been negotiating with you for years. If I’d known I was competing with stock prices, I would’ve brought Val along. At least she knows how to show a girl a good time… even if her idea of a good time involves double coupons at Pathmark.”

————

Highlights: 💄 Fran comparing Maxwell’s work addiction to a Macy’s sale on Black Friday (it’s kinda true tho) 🍕 Gracie ordering an ungodly amount of pizza and somehow getting away with it 🏠 The house cleaner Sadie, who low-key knows more than she lets on 🤔 Maxwell setting his phone aside for more than 5 minutes (!!!) �� Gracie proving she’s more responsible than anyone thought… or is she?

If you like banter, and just a tiny bit of teenage mischief, then check out this fic on AO3!!
