I wish Mandy from Fazbear Frights; The Scoop got more attention!

The Scoop is definitely my favorite story from any of the books. Mandy just gives me such autistic vibes. She has a special interest in FNaF just like many of us autistic FNaF fans! She even makes fanfiction and theories!

I also just love the metaness of the story. It's very creative.

Also random side note; I read the scoop after watching Magica Record so I always imagine Mandy looking like Iroha but with lavender hair.

She's one of my comfort characters, so it sucks she basically doesn't exist online...

🌲🍁🥧 Harvestfest 🌲🍁🥧

(Adalynn's POV)

Happy Harvestfest! We all made out way to my parents house in Newcrest for a weekend full of family, food, and fellowship. One thing we tried to arrange beforehand was the grandkids picture since we didn't manage to get one last year, and now that the babies that were in utero last year have been born (and no one that we know of is pregnant) we decided now was the perfect time. We mixed up the kids so that there was a big kid-little kid plan, mostly for crowd control purposes so that they would be able to handle the toddlers. The oldest four (Noah, Luke, Chloe, and AJ) were holding the youngest four (Grace, Everett, Jackson, and Bethany). As the years go by and the children grow (and with more being born, Lord willing) we'll have to keep finding new ways to arrange all the children.

Annette (21), Macie (33), Casandra (53), Allan (56), Ashton (17)

My parents and the girls at home are all doing great! Now that there's no longer anyone in school, my parents have more time for their other things, though it seems with the more the family grows the busier they'll get! My dad continues to shepherd the flock of Newcrest Baptist, there's a blossoming pastoral staff that also help to keep the place running for the Lord's glory. It also gives him time to travel to speaking engagements at other churches as well as different revivals, jubilee's, hymn sings, and festivals. My mother is also busy with her role as mother, grandmother, and pastor's wife. She somehow finds the time to show all of us that we're definitely loved and valued. She helps to homeschool Barrett and Kyleigh's kids whenever needed, as well as the kids coming to their house for music lessons. When they're not home or travelling to commitments, they're usually visiting with one of us that live out of town, they try and schedule their visits to us to coincide with their travelling for their commitments. My sisters are all busy busy bees! Macie splits her time between being at home or in ministry, and when she's not doing that she's visiting with one of us. Annette works as a babysitter helping families at church that need that extra support, she just loves children and is grateful she gets to spend time with children all day. Both girls remain in a season of singleness, and they're using it to the full, with our cousin Celeste getting married this winter they've been recruited to help with the planning and execution of the wedding. Ashton also babysits children in the congregation, she's in the church choir and spends her days helping out wherever she can. Since she has less responsibilities she spends the most time travelling, so she gets to spend longer amounts of time with the siblings.

Mason (35) & Adalynn Leonard (34) with Titus (2) and Bethany (3m), Luke (10), Paul (8), Caleb (4), Joshua (6), Jonah (4), Noah (12), Aaron (9)

We are so thankful for the Lord's grace! Little Bethany joined our family this summer and we are over the moon that the Lord chose for this little girl to join us - her 8 older brothers and her parents are over the moon! We've had two kids get saved this year (Paul & Joshua) and it's such a blessing that we've been able to lead our kids to the Lord for his glory! Since the arrival of little miss, Mason and I have been feeling like the Lord is leading us in the direction of a new house. Since she's so young and has about a year in our room with us, we have time to see whether we're going to extend the house by adding a level or whether we'll move to a whole new house altogether. We've got a bunch of prayer warriors on our side so I'm sure we'll get an answer soon.

(AN: Ignore the height differences, planning poses with so many sims means you gotta sacrifice a few things here and there)

Barrett (33) and Kyleigh Collins (31) with Preston (2) and Jackson (6m), Marigold (6), Daisy (7), Benjamin (9), Rose (8), Olivia (4), Violet (8), Jefferson (1), Allan Jr (9), and Chloe (9)

Barrett and Kyleigh are also thankful for a new blessing from the Lord, little Jackson made his appearance soon after Parker and Lana's wedding, so we got a 2-for-1 deal really! They're also prayerfully considering their house, so our prayer circles are really working hard in this season our two families are in. They also had two kids get saved this year, it brought so much joy to my heart when Kyleigh shared in our group chat that the girls had gotten saved and baptised at church! My parents started the tradition of gifting the 'savee' a bible and a family lunch, and it's such a precious tradition that they're able to now carry out with their grandchildren. They only have 12 grandkids that are in the average age range for getting saved (of course it can happen before or after that time period - all in the Lord's timing!), but as the grandchildren grow and continue to multiply they're going to need the Lord's help to get them everywhere that they're needed!

Francisco (34) and Zoe Moreno (30) with Javier Jr (3) and Cassie (1)

Zoe and her family are happy and thriving in Windenburg, Francisco's job gives him weekends off so the family gets to attend church on the weekends. Zoe has amassed a solid amount of students that she teaches piano and violin, as well as some students that she video conferences for their lessons. With two young children to care for and a house to maintain, she's an expert at managing her time. They're slowly approaching the time when Francisco gets his orders and they've got to move, but they've not put their choices in yet so we have no idea where they'll be right now. Little Cassie turns two years old in a few months, so the plan is to have a birthday party for her when we're all back in town for Celeste's wedding. Ashton is heading back to Windenburg to spend some time with them as well as with Amira and her family, she'll ride back with them for the wedding.

Shane (28) and Maggie Wright (27) with Iris (2) and Arlo Wright (2)

Maggie and her family are doing wonderful! They were in Sulani earlier this summer with Reece and Amira's families, it's wonderful getting to see my younger siblings bonding as adults with families of their own. Little Arlo and Iris seem to have grown leaps and bounds since I last saw them, the kids love getting to video chat with them and love whenever they get to visit with each other. Usually Maggie and her family will try and pass through to see us during their travels, so that's when the kids get to see each other.

Reece (26) and Stacie Collins (26) with Liam (5) and Hazel (2)

Reece and Stacie have also been doing great, Liam has breezed through kindergarten and is getting ready to start grade 1. Stacie will be homeschooling Liam through a homeschool co-op, they said that they felt that was the best option for getting the kids socialised with like minded children.

Beckett (24) and Mandy Collins (22)

Beckett and mandy are back for their yearly vacation from the mission field. It's so great to see them in person and hear the wonderful stories they have to tell about the great work that they're doing out there in Selvadorada. Whilst they haven't been blessed with a child as of yet, the Lord has kept them content with their current life and has showered them in blessings of many kinds. They'll be focusing on fundraising efforts for the mission field, as well as trying to see as much family as they can.

Thomas (24) and Amira Eichelburg (23) with Maya (1)

Amira and her family are wonderful and thriving! Little Maya is such a sweet girl, a total reflection of her wonderful mother! Amira was such a wonderful baby and child, and Maya is exactly like her mother. Their little family are wonderful and are so blessed by the Lord, and they've been doing more travelling this year when their schedule allows. They'll be sharing Ashton with Zoe this winter as they get to have some quality sister time before we meet again for Celeste's wedding.

Felix (26) and Priscilla Robert (21) with Andrew (2) and Grace (9m)

Little Grace has joined the family since we were last all together, and her name is so precious! Little Andrew is such a wonderful big brother and these two babies are the light of their parents lives! Priscilla always says that life in Oasis Springs spoils them with the heat, but she does miss having the traditional autumn and winter weather and is glad to be with family - as we all are!

Charles (20) and Lorilee Collins (19) with Everett (9m)

Charles and Lorilee welcomed little Everett into the family around the new year, and have been thanking the Lord for that blessing. Lorilee has been sharing that she's been doing better than expected at the postpartum period, especially for a first-timer. They're talking about moving out of their apartment and finding a house for their little family (that they're hoping to expand!)

Parker (19) and Lana (19) Collins

Lana was also a new joiner to the family this year! She's such a sweet girl and is a wonderful wife to Parker. Their wedding was beautiful and wonderfully glorified the Lord, which is a testament to the minds and hearts of Parker and Lana. As an older sibling, it's been my prayer that my siblings find spouses that challenge them and push them to the Lord, and I'm thankful to say that Lana does exactly that!

We also managed to take a group picture! There's 55 people in our 'immediate' family - imagine that! There's my parents, then the 13 kids, the 10 spouses, and 30 grandkids! The lord has blessed us greatly and beyond our wildest imagination.

For comparison, this is a picture from way before any of us got married, and then a picture with Mason, Noah, and Kyleigh in the family. Who would've thought that in less than 15 years we'd go from a family of 15 to a family of 55! This is probably the biggest example of God's goodness in our lives!

Tiny Match-maker:A Change Of Plans

Bucky Barnes x Single!mom!Reader Fluff

You had been looking forward to your date with Bucky all week, but when something goes wrong, it forces you to have to make a change of plans, fortunately for you, Bucky is all too ready to go with the flow.

This has been sitting in a google doc just gathering dust for a hot minute, and it's only recently that I've dived back into it to finish it! But yeah, here's just a little bit of cutesy-fluff

If you wanna read the rest of the series, you can do so here

*dividers by @saradika-graphics

Masterlist // Bucky Barnes Masterlist

You put your phone down with a defeated sigh. You had been looking forward to going on this date with Bucky all week, but now Amanda had called you last minute saying that her son had picked up a stomach bug from somewhere and she wouldn’t be able to look after Lottie for you whilst you were gone.

So now, not only were you going to have to gently let down your daughter and tell her that she wouldn’t be hanging out with her best friend today, you’d also have to call Bucky to tell him that you wouldn’t be able to go on the date with him tonight.

Turning to your daughter who had been happily watching cartoons in the living room, you put your softest smile when you go to break the bad news to her.

“Hey, Pumpkin,” you say, getting her attention. “I just got off the phone with Mason’s mom, and she told me that he’s not feeling too well right now, so you won’t be able to go over to play with him today.” you tell her, letting her down gently because you knew that she didn’t like any kind of upset to her plans or routine.

“Oh, okay.” she says softly, a slight look of disappointment casts across her tiny features as her bottom lip pouts outwards. “Can I visit him next week though?”

“Yeah, we’ll see Pumpkin.” you smile at her as she goes back to watching the tv.

Walking out of your daughter's ear-shot you go to pick up your phone to call Bucky, but as you’re just about to dial his number there’s a knock at your door.

As you peer through your door’s peep-hole you see Bucky waiting in the hallway holding a big bunch of bright red roses.

You open the door and see him standing there. He’s dressed nicely in a close-fitting t-shirt, leather jacket and a pair of jeans that stretch across his strong thighs so deliciously. Suddenly you realise your state of dress, and you feel bad about how woefully underdressed you feel in your most comfortable pair of leggings and oversized t-shirt.

However, if Bucky had any reservations about your level of under-dress he didn’t show it, he just happily stands in your doorway with an easy smile and a look of complete adoration on his face.

“These are for you.” Bucky smiles, handing you the bouquet of flowers and placing a soft kiss to the apple of your cheek. “I know I’m a little early, but I just couldn’t wait to see you.”

His enthusiasm for your date shatters your heart when you know you’re going to have to shatter his excitement.

“Yeah, about that..” you sigh, flicking your eyes over your shoulder into the living room where Lottie has made herself comfortable on the couch with her favourite fuzzy pink blanket and an episode of spongebob. “I’m so sorry but I don't think I can go out today.”

His smile falters slightly upon hearing your news, sighing out a sad ‘Oh.’

“It’s just that Mandy was supposed to watch her for me, but she just called me to tell me her boy’s not well and she won’t be able to look after Lottie today.” you explain.

“Well there’s no reason why we can’t change our plans to include Lottie.” Bucky says with a soft raise of his eyebrows. “I know you said about setting boundaries, and not wanting to mix your dating life with your home life until you were absolutely sure it was going to for real, but I’m not going anywhere, and I’d like to be in your life for a long time, if you’d let me.”

And it was true, Lottie’s dad decided to up and leave without so much as a goodbye as he ghosted out of your lives, and whilst you we’re thankful on Lottie’s behalf that she never met her father, it left you very wary of forming new relationships with guys, for fear of having your heart-broken once more when he decides that the baggage of being with someone who already has a child is too much for them.

“Might I remind you, that your little girl is the very reason that we met in the first place.” he says with a cheeky smile, trying his very best to win you over.

Which he does, because no matter how much you try to deny it, it is becoming increasingly difficult to say no to those sparkling silver-blue eyes. Then as you open the door to let him into your apartment Lottie immediately rushes into your side, her tiny frame clinging to your leg eager to see what was going on.

Her face lights up when she sees Bucky, she became obsessed with him after he did the presentation at her school, and everytime you took her to the museum she would run right over the Captain America exhibit, where she would pour over every scrap of information on Sergeant Barnes and the Howling Commandos.

“Mr. Sergeant Bucky!! What are you doing in my house?” Ever unashamedly blunt, your little girl asks, directing her question to him.

“I came to visit you and your mom, I hope that's okay with you?” Bucky replies softly, bending down slightly to meet Lottie's level.

She nods enthusiastically, with a pinkish blush warming across her cheeks. She’s dressed in her flouncy and glittery princess rapunzel dress, with a plastic sliver tiara haphazardly wedged into her messy hair.

“Mommy, can we have a princess tea party today?” she asks sweetly, using her best pleading eyes and fluttering eyelashes, her day of watching endless cartoons now long forgotten about.

“Sure, only if Bucky doesn't mind joining us for tea?” You say directing your question towards him.

“Will you join us for tea? Please Mr.Sergeant Bucky! Please, please pretty please!” Lottie pleads, using her big doe eyes to her full advantage, tugging lightly on his jacket’s sleeve.

“Well after an invitation like that, how could I possibly decline?” Bucky says dramatically, letting Lottie tug him into the apartment.

The scene in front of you shouldn’t have been as funny as it was, as you swerved into your living room with a plate of cookies for Lottie to share with Bucky at her princess tea party. All six feet of Bucky was crouched down on the floor, his long legs tucked underneath him as he clinked a little plastic pink teacup full of apple juice in a cheer with your daughter.

Bucky had also fallen victim to your little girl’s dress-up box, as he too now was wearing one of her small, sparkling silver tiaras. The accessory was delicately perched in his long chocolate tresses, which had been clipped up with blue and purple butterfly clips.

It absolutely warmed your heart to see how sweet Bucky was with your daughter, taking the time to listen to her, and treat her with such gentle kindness.

“You’re so right Princess Charlotte..” Bucky said, taking a sip from his teacup, his finger poised out as held on to the handle. “..The kingdom would be in such a terrible state had you not chased away all those terribly menacing fire-breathing dragons. The devastation would have been unimaginable.” he says, fully immersed in the fantasy world of make believe that Lottie had constructed.

“Sounds like you two are having a very important discussion over there.” you smile, placing the plate of cookies down between them, making sure to snatch one up for yourself at the same time.

“We are! I was telling Bucky about how the dragons tried to take over the palace, but I stopped them!” Lottie smiled brightly, chocolate chip crumbs tumbling down on her princess dress as she munched happily on her cookie.

“..And everyone knows that you can’t have dragons take over your palace, that’s just like a huge no-no in the being a princess handbook.” Bucky adds on, confirming your daughter’s words with a firm nod.

After finishing her princess tea party, Lottie decided that it was time for an extravagant ball. So, you queued up a few of her favourite Disney princess songs on your phone and began to play them so she could dance around freely. She twirled around, her dress fanning out around her as she did.

The dreamy sounds of Aurora's voice came filtering out through your phone’s speaker, Once Upon A Dream, and Bucky was all too quick to bend down to your daughter’s level and hold his hand out to her.

“Your highness, if I may have this dance..” he smiles, the perfect image of a suave, and charming disney prince.

Lottie giggles and accepts his hand and twirls around with Bucky whilst the music plays. Her little feet standing on top of his whilst he waltzes around with her.

The sight before you tugs at your heart strings. The one man who you dared to take a chance on, the man who you let into your little corner of life was here in your living room, dancing and laughing with your daughter like she was his own.

You always felt bad for Lottie for never having that constant father figure in her life, and always made sure to do your best by her so that she never felt any different to the other kids her age, but seeing how gently Bucky was with her had you quickly wiping away a tear in the corner of your eye.

“Look at me mommy!! Look at me dancing!!” she bubbles with a bright smile.

You smile and make your way over to where they’re dancing together, and you slip your arms around Bucky’s waist from behind and lean your head against his broad shoulders, letting yourself gently sway with him and the soft floating music. Closing your eyes and just letting yourself fall freely into the tenderness of the moment.

There’s a small part of you that dares to hope that things could be like this all the time. That Bucky could be more than just Lottie's mom’s boyfriend. That together you three could be a happy family, but for now you’re content with keeping that little fantasy close to your heart, and are more than happy to just live in this moment with the two people who matter most to you in this world.

It’s later in the evening, when Lottie had finally tired herself out and you had managed to convince her to swap her princess dress for a pair of warm and fuzzy pyjamas before gently tucking her into bed with a kiss pressed into her hair.

“Good night, Pumpkin.”

You see yourself out of her bedroom, making sure to leave her door cracked open just an inch, so that a little bit of light pours into her room, to stop the monsters coming in as she'd told you many times before.

And when you get back to your living room you see Bucky is there, sitting on your couch, carefully picking out the last of the butterfly clips from his hair.

“I’m sorry we didn’t get to go on our date today, Bucky.” you say softly, unclipping the final butterfly clip that he’d missed at the back of his head before sitting down next to him, leaning your head on his shoulder with a tired sigh.

“What are you talking about, I had a great time.” he says, turning to you with that brilliant smile of his. “I know you were nervous about letting me into your life like that, especially when Lottie is concerned, and I totally understand that, but I just want to tell you how much it means to me that you trusted me. Not many people do.” he says that last part more to himself, underneath his breath, but you caught it.

“Bucky, I just wanted to thank you. Thank you for being so patient with me, I know most guys would have run for the hills by now” You laugh softly. “But not you. You're a good man Bucky Barnes. You're a good man and I lo- I like you, I like you a whole lot.” You manage to catch yourself before admitting to being in love with him. You'd only been dating him for a short time, but you were confident that you loved him, but you weren’t quite sure if you were ready to speak those words out loud just yet.

He takes your chin between his fingers, kissing your lips with a gentle and reverent press, his nose brushing against yours.

“I like you a whole lot, too.”

Yeah, you think to yourself, I hope he stays around for a long time.

I never?? posted Mandy apparently. if I did then erm kill me I guess

[luulapants]

Really unfortunate that Dead Like Me never hit big on tumblr because I feel like you guys would have had a blast babygirlifying Mason, who once OD'd on heroin (he can't die, he's already dead, so it was just a really really bad time) because he smuggled it in his ass on an airplane.

Also Mandy Patinkin is in it and the main character George has so many beautiful sapphic moments with so many insane women <3

…

Steve went to school on Friday with a pleasant pep in his step. He’d be leaving early at 1:30 for work and then leaving work at 5 to go officially move into the trailer. He’d have the whole weekend off to get properly moved, to.

People still eyed him in the halls. They still whispered and they still looked. And yeah, it wasn’t with the same respect as it was before. But Steve found he didn’t care. He stopped by his locker, number 276.

Nancy and Jonathan were already there, both leaning against the lockers and talking quietly.

Steve didn’t say much to the two of them. He’d put away what he didn’t need in his locker and then simply went to first period.

.

There wasn’t ever much to say about school. Sure it was different from his home life, and yes it was different from his work life, but it wasn’t anything special.

It stopped being special when he decided to stick with Louie nearly 7 months ago now.

He left at 1:30, as he usually did. He typically got Nancy or Jonathan to stop by and grab the work he’d be missing for him so that he wasn’t absolutely failing.

At work, Steve couldn’t stop glancing at the clock. A couple of the regulars— Abby, a sweet lady in her thirties, and Mandy, a sassy black lady in her fifties— congratulated him on the new trailer and tipped extra.

Steve was positively vibrating with nerves his entire shift. Every time he went back to pick up an order from Mason and Gwen they shot him cheeky grins and gave him claps on the shoulders.

Everyone could see how excited Steve was, and his moods were usually rubbing off on everyone anyway.

When 5 finally hit, Steve hung his apron, counted his tips, and gave everyone the usual goodbye hugs and high fives. Mason held on a little tighter than usual and even gave him a little spin that had Steve leaving in high spirits.

He took his usual dinner and baby Louie out to the car, talking excitedly to the small child all the while.

“We finally have a new home, Louie! Aren’t you excited baby? You’re gonna sleep in a bed, and sit on the couch, and have floor time!”

Louie babbled back just as excitedly. Steve was giddy with joy.

The trailer park wasn’t too far from the dinner. It was a good 5-7 minute drive, tops.

But by the end of the night Steve had officially moved into number 2718 New Bird Ave.

.

The first night was as rough as expected. The previous occupants left behind most of their furniture so Steve was left with a couch, a bed, and an old dresser that was ready to topple.

Steve took the smallest bedroom, it was barely bigger than his old closet but the tight fit was comforting in a way. He moved the mattress from the left-behind bed into the room, leaving the frame. It wouldn’t fit through the door despite being just smaller than a twin.

Steve took Louie around the trailer, holding him close and happily showing him everything there was to see.

“And this, my dear baby, is the kitchen. I’m gonna get real nice curtains and a small table. I’m thinking yellow curtains. Whaddya say Lou-Lou?”

Louie babbled excitedly and gripped Steve’s hair.

“I’ll take it you like yellow. Me too.” Steve smiled brightly.

The kitchen took up the entire front of the trailer. The windows were large and nearly floor-ceiling and already had blinds set on them. They let in plenty of sunlight and gave a beautiful view to the other trailers and the woods surrounding the park. There was a pantry where he could eventually set up a washer and dryer. And a small area between the pantry and windows where he’d be able to fit in a table and maybe three chairs.

“Now—“ Steve let Louie down on the floor and crouched right behind him, holding him up. “—this is the living room. This is where we’re gonna listen to music and dance and sing.”

Louie immediately started babbling and gurgling, wiggling and bouncing in Steve’s hold. Steve laughed.

“Exactly baby! Dancing just like that. You get your moves from your daddy don’t you hunny?”

Louie gave his best belly-laugh that had Steve scooping him up and holding him close.

“You’re such a sweetheart, Lou-Lou! You’re my sweetheart aren’t you, babyboy?” Steve smothered kisses across Louie’s face and grinned when the baby laughed and pulled his hair.

.

“Alrighty, Louie. What to do now, huh?”

Steve had propped Louie carefully on the couch. The baby sat watching him closely, and vaguely tried copying Steve’s hands on his hips. Steve grinned.

“Do you wanna go to the store? We can see about getting you an actual crib.”

Louie stared blankly.

“You’re right, you’d just end up sleeping with me anyways. What about a new bed for us then, huh? Something that’d actually fit in the room?”

Louie made a squeaking sound.

“And plans have been made!” Steve declared, throwing his arms up. His hand his the ceiling but he didn’t mind the pain when Louie copied him and threw his hands up as well.

“To the store we go!”

.

Steve was pushing Louie around the store in a stroller he’d found in the baby section. Yes, he was going to buy it when they went up to pay.

Why hadn’t he bought a stroller to begin with? It was so much easier than carrying around the car seat.

Little Louie was babbling away and reaching for just about anything they passed. However, he made a particularly loud squeal when Steve passed a certain bed frame. Steve paused and looked it over with Louie.

It was a simple white twin with a high headboard and a low, almost not there bottom board. It almost looked like a wooden princess bed.

“That one?” Steve asked Louie.

Louie answered with a gargle of spit and his fingers in his mouth. Steve grinned.

“That one.”

.

Putting the bed together was the biggest pain in the ass Steve ever had the displeasure of going through.

He’d never been a strong reader. And he’d always needed visual help references in front of him for him to learn properly. The instructions provided pictures that Steve was confident he himself could’ve drawn better.

“I mean look at this sh— crap. I’m sure you could’ve drawn something better, huh bub?”

Louie gurgled and nodded sagely.

The bed was put together with much failure and cursing and input from baby Louie.

Steve stood back with his hands on his hips and snorted delightfully when Louie copied him as best he could with his baby hands. The bed was done and Steve’d finally out the mattresses on. Now he got to sleep in it.

.

Steve entered the back door to the diner in a flurry of limbs. He was pushing the new stroller he’d gotten Louie and was desperately trying to hold open the door at the same time.

Gwen rushed to help, grabbing the stroller and baby Louie and pushing him into George’s office. Steve sighed in relief and let the baby be taken while Mason helped him with the diaper bag.

When they dropped off the bag and baby in the office Steve was surrounded by Michelle, Gwen, and Mason.

“So? How’d it go, kid?” asked Gwen with a cross of her arms.

Steve grinned at them, baring his teeth and gums in a way that showed his giddiness in full force.

“It’s a nice place. I got a bed set up and Louie likes dancing in the living room with me. Isn’t that right bubba?”

The baby in question immediately started bouncing in place on his butt. Steve laughed and picked him up. Louie continued bouncing in his grip, dancing his best baby moves.

“Just like that, lovebug!”

Mason and Gwen cooed.

“You got those moves from your daddy, huh sweet thing?” Mason teased, poking a finger into Louie’s side. Louie grabbed it and messed with the ring there.

“You are just the sweetest freakin thing ever!” Gwen cooed in a baby voice.

.

And for a month it went like that.

Steve and baby Louie got settled into the trailer nicely. They filled up the living room and bedroom with Louie’s toys and as many pillows as Steve could afford.

Back at his parents’ house, the pillows his mother bought were only for show. They were only there because they had looked good. Steve bought his pillows because he liked them. Because they were pretty or cute. Because they reminded him of people he knew. Because they simply caught his or Louie’s eyes.

They got the curtains for the kitchen— a soft yellow with white stripes. Steve hung them while Louie had floor time a few feet away in the living room.

During the month they settled in, Nancy had been watching Louie every Wednesday and Thursday after she got out of school so that Steve could take the closing shift at the diner. She’d watch him early Sunday mornings so that Steve could take the opening shift.

And they built a steady routine.

It was mid-morning on a Friday. Steve was buckling Louie into his car seat and humming Head Over Heels by Tears for Fears to himself when a loud thunk vibrated through his car.

Steve righted himself immediately, hitting his head on the roof of the car in the process. While he rubbed the back of his head to soothe the inevitable bump he turned and came face to face with 2 kids barely older than 9.

They stared up at him in silent fear. Steve saw the offending ball rolling somewhere down his driveway— they must’ve hit the ball into his car while playing.

Steve didn’t think. He simply jogged down the driveway and into the street to retrieve the ball. Then he jogged back to his car and handed the little girl the ball. She took it hesitantly.

“You two alright?” Steve asked gently.

They both nodded. Steve was starting to get a little freaked out.

“Um—“

“We’re really sorry!” the girl suddenly shouted.

Steve startled. “Oh! It’s—“

“We didn’t mean to hit your car, the ball kept bouncing and it wouldn’t stop!” the boy explained. The girl nodded.

Steve huffed and put one hand on his hip. “It’s alright, seriously. Look: no damage done, see?”

And true to Steve’s word, there was no damage done to his car, just a mark from the mud caked onto the ball.

“You’re not angry?” the boy asked hesitantly.

Steve smiled sweetly and shook his head. “No, I’m not angry. Just be careful next time, someone else is bound to be angry.”

They nodded in sync. Baby Louie spoke up at that moment with a gurgled babble.

The kids’ heads snapped to the back seat in scary unison, the girl’s blond pigtails bouncing.

“Is that your brother?” she asked, setting the ball in the grass by her feet.

Steve chuckled. “No, he’s my son. His names Louie,”

He stepped aside and let the kids peer at the car seat. The boy grinned.

“Hi, Louie! I’m Noah!”

The girl smiled sweetly and held her hand out for Louie to grab. “I’m Casey! I’m the older twin.”

Steve watched fondly. Louie didn’t get to interact with many people outside of him, Nancy, and they people at work.

“Noah, Casey! What are you two doing now?” Came a call from behind them. Steve turned with the twins to see an older lady walked over to them.

“Gran, look! He’s so cute!” cried Casey.

Noah and Casey made way for their Gran to look at Louie. Little Louie seemed to be thriving in the sudden attention, babbling nonstop and grinning his gummy little smile.

“He’s quite the charmer indeed.” Gran agreed with a nod and smile. “Now, come along you two. Let this young man leave.”

Noah and Casey turned to Steve with a simultaneous “Bye!” before running off with their ball to the trailer next door. Gran sighed.

“It’s nice to finally meet the new neighbor. I’m Margaret, Margaret Bottomette. Those two are my grandchildren, they usually come over for weekends and breaks.”

Steve smiled at the lady, Miss. Bottomette.

.

Miss. Bottomette and the twins became a new constant in Steve’s life alongside the middle schoolers he’s forced to cart around occasionally.

Noah and Casey are sweet kids, albeit feisty. They come over to the car every time Steve’s out, whether he’s with baby Louie or not.

And it’s sweet, is the thing. It brightens Steve’s day just that much more when he sees the beaming smiles on their faces while they play with Louie or while he listens to them talk about their days.

It was early October of 1984 now, Louie being officially 8 months as of October 14.

Steve wasn’t prepared for the upcoming months.

If the John Doe Game and the Househuntedgame were adult swim shows I think it would have a Invader Zim, Billy and Mandy, Villainous and Ok Ko like feel to it.

But will be in a Bob's Burgers or King of the Hill timeslot.

With a little Superjail in it for the animation.

Would John Doe be a hero or villain in Ok Ko?

I know Maison Talo is a villain.

What will be their Pow cards?

Ok Ko should be the next cartoon to get the Fionna and Cake treatment.

Like with cursing in it and blood with a more adult plot.

Found this weirdly animated Tik Tok and I kind of want one episode of John Doe if it was a show to be animated like this.

Kind of like that episode of Gurren Lagann that was animated weird then the rest were normal.

I'm surprised no one had made a AU where Maison Talo is Rick and John Doe is Morty.

Realtor Rick and Regular Morty.

Randomly found this.

If Househuntedgame and John Doe game were show pilots this would be the bumper for it.

This is how the show should look like from the start.

I like the finger wiggle like John Doe is like don't mind if I do before eating the good teeth he's saving up.
