Siblinks Turkey Shenanigans

In honor of the holiday, I have this silly Thanksgiving scenario stuck in my head that I want to get out that I might turn into a Bendy Bite someday. There's so much shenanigan potential I'm having trouble deciding what to keep and what to laugh about and move on from, so there's a poll at the end so y'all can help me decide.

Anyways, there are three ways I picture this scenario happening:

Option 1:

Audrey has been having a lot of fun introducing Bendy to all the holidays, and decides to surprise him with Thanksgiving. Big-little man loves to eat (both forms) and she knows he’s gonna love it. She’s also really looking forward to celebrating it because she hasn’t celebrated it since Joey died. Like, she was the type of person to be annoyed/sad that they were given the day off and wished that she could work instead because she had no-one to come home to. Now, she does! She doesn’t tell him she has the day off either, and is just hoping he sleeps long enough to get most of the cooking done so it’s a proper surprise.

A couple days before Thanksgiving, she sets the turkey in the fridge to thaw. She doesn't explain it to Bendy because she doesn't want to ruin the surprise and doesn't even think about it being necessary because who in the world would eat a raw turkey? (she recognizes her mistake later)

Problem: Bendy is a hungry boi, and often gets late night munchies as the Ink Demon. He sees the turkey in the fridge and is like, "A snack? For me?" and just eats the whole damn thing raw and partially frozen. In this scenario, he might leave Audrey a leg behind or something like that to be considerate (she's probably talked to him before about leaving her some when she's brought home big meals like this before).

Audrey wakes up, goes to work, gets home to find the turkey being gone and is, like, where tf is the turkey?!? until she remembers she's living with a demon and is surprised but not surprised because he used to eat whole people raw. She tries to goes out to buy another one but either the stores have already closed or they already ran out of turkeys. Also, it would have been too late to thaw it by then anyway. She might buy a ham or a chicken or something to replace it or she might just go home in defeat, saying they'll just celebrate it some other weekend.

However, Bendy feels really guilty for eating the turkey, even though Audrey told him it was partially her fault for not telling him what the turkey was for. So, that night, he sneaks out, and when Audrey wakes up she finds another surprise in her fridge. It's filled with dead birds. Pidgeons, sparrows, a duck or two and maybe even a pheasant.

Audrey freaks out and confronts Bendy, and he explains that he caught them to replace the turkey he ate. Audrey has another talk with him about not putting dead animals in the fridge but decides to go ahead and try using one of the larger birds for the dinner.

New problem: she has NO IDEA how much work goes into cleaning birds and this is back when the internet wasn't a thing. She sets Bendy on plucking duty to make up for his theft while she works on the other thanksgiving dishes. Bendy is a little miffed she doesn't want to try any of the other birds he brought home, but stops complaining after being given plucking duty (he hates it/finds it super boring/tedious and doesn't want to pluck anything else) Back to the bird, she tries to clean and prepare it the best she can, but it's gonna end up super gamey and weird, so she just eats a little and lets Bendy have the rest and focuses on the other dishes and her singular turkey leg.

They still enjoy the day together just by hanging out and watching all the thanksgiving/christmas themed shows on TV so the day is still a success. Audrey just makes a mental note to buy an extra turkey the next year just in case.

Option 2:

Audrey does tell him about Thanksgiving and they're both hyped about it. When Audrey sets the turkey out to thaw, she is very clear that it's for Thanksgiving, but doesn't outright tell him not to eat it because, again, most people wouldn't need to be told that. Bendy is not most people.

This time, however, he knows the turkey is for thanksgivng and he knows it's off-limits. The first night, he keeps opening and closing the fridge, walking away then walking back, over and over again while berating himself for being so weak. He stays strong through the first night, but halfway through the second night he gives in and just devours it.

On Thanksgiving Day, Audrey wakes up and is weirded out because usually Bendy likes to sleep in the same room as her, and he’s nowhere to be seen. Then, she realizes he must have done something he feels guilty about, and just runs to the kitchen to discover the missing turkey. This time, he's left nothing behind.

She chews him out, he's super guilty, she feels bad because it is his first Thanksgiving. She goes out to try and get something but all the stores are closed (this is before Walmart normalized being open all year). She comes back empty-handed to an empty apartment and is about to panic until Bendy comes back just in time with, you guessed it, more dead birds!

Again, Audrey chews him out for sneaking out in broad daylight but he excuses it since she explained to him earlier that almost everyone is home for the holiday and they needed a replacement bird.

Situation ends like the first, with Audrey trying and failing to cook one of the random birds and they just enjoy the rest of the day.

Option 3:

In the other two versions I imagined the Ink Demon going ham on the turkey late at night, but there's another option that's possibly funnier

Yanno how in my fic there's a memory disconnect/blurr of Bendy between his Ink Demon form and his Baby Benders form? Let's say Audrey sets the turkey out to defrost while the Ink Demon is watching soap operas or smg and tells him it's for Thanksgiving. Ink Demon kinda waves her off because he really wants to know if Missy is cheating on Peter with Austin, or if Austin is actually her long-lost brother like she claims.

They go to bed, Bendy wakes up as Baby Benders with midnight munchies, opens the fridge, sees the turkey and thinks, "A snack? For me?" and eats it as Baby Benders.

This scenario proceeds to play out like the other two OR

He goes to bed and wakes up early as the Ink Demon again, or he switches before going back to bed, realizes he screwed up, and immediately goes out to replace the turkey so when Audrey wakes up to not only a missing turkey, but also a bunch of dead birds in her fridge.

Now, I wanna know which one YOU guys (gender-neutral) think is more likely to happen, plus a couple bonus options because funny.

Bonus thought: After the first thanksgiving and seeing how much Bendy can eat, she decides to buy two turkeys and only cooks one of them/the other one is for Bendy. The year after that, she buys three. The year after that, she buys five. She could keep going but decides more than five is excessive and Bendy will just have to deal.

Any new upcoming series with w/w?

Lol, I had a whole answer typed up and almost completed last night, I could only remember a few upcoming shows but added a bunch of ongoing and recent with descriptions and then the post editor hiccuped and removed most of it so I angrily went to sleep instead.

But maybe that was for the best, because this morning a video of upcoming f/f shows in April came out so now I can add a few more.

There's Dead Ringers, that show with Rachel Weisz playing twin gynecologists and since it's a genderbent adaptation of an existing movie we already know it's gonna be super messy. It would be pretty wild for Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies to not have some wlw and luckily it does, the trailer itself reveals a couple. Tiny Beautiful Things, with Kathryn Hahn and Sarah Pidgeon (Leah in The Wilds) playing her younger self, apparently Kathryn Hahn's character's daughter is queer. Slip is a kinda scifi, where a bored wife cheats on her husband and realizes every time she has sex with someone, she wakes up married to them. The show's about her trying to get back to her original life, and there are a series of different husbands, but also a few wives (also, the first "replacement" husband is played by Boorman's actor from Willow!). There are also the upcoming Thai dramas Be Mine, Reverse 4 You, and 23.5, as previously mentioned.

In terms of returning series coming back, there's the Disney cartoon The Owl House, getting its final ep. Single Drunk Female's second season is returning soon. It has a bi lead, and she did have a female love interest but it was pretty temporary compared to the will they/won't she has with the main character male love interest. Her Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, also a very main character, is a lesbian, and she's married but her wife's actress is a regular on another show now so I dunno if she'll be back.

Welcome to Eden, a Spanish thriller about people trapped on an island with a cult, ended the first season on a major cliffhanger so it'll be exciting to see what happens now, though it feels like anyone could die so that's a bit nerve-wracking. It has a lot of different kinds of rep, f/f, m/m, trans, one of the gay guys is deaf too and it's a plot point that his boyfriend won't learn sign even though his friends have.

The Epix series From is a pretty well done horror series about people trapped in a town and who get hunted at night, it's more ominous and suspenseful than outright gory. It actually has three wlw, though one is mostly with one guy, the one who's engaged to a woman outside the town seems to be about to start a romance with another guy, and one is a teen who's crushing on the first woman, feels unrequited. I didn't know about any of them when I started, so they're a bonus, the show itself is rather compelling.

As for current shows, The Power (lol, get it, current) started last night on Prime, it's nice that after the misreading of Class of '07, this new show about girls does immediately have a wlw. Gap's already finished but it made such a splash, if you haven't watched, I'll mention it again. The other Thai drama, Show Me Love, is still airing. Fantasy Island is honestly kind of sweet, it feels like one of those '90s shows, episodic, bright colors and optimism, and great guest stars. One of the two leads, I'd say, or at least the second billed main, is queer.

We got our three firefighter shows, 9-1-1 with a solid (now) established relationship, Fire Country, a lesbian character but not much screentime, and of course Station 19, which is honestly winning me back in a huge way with their current storyline (if they land it).

Cop wlw update (why are there so many of them!): NCIS Hawai'i remains super cute, especially when Lucy is on, looks like Ayanna on Law & Order: Organized Crime got herself a new gf with a super hot voice, The Rookie: Feds still has Niecy Nash playing a super likable and bi lead. I couldn't stand the egregious copaganda in FBI: Most Wanted, and like, imagine how bad it'd have to be, when I can still watch all the rest of these shows, but Sheryll's still there, so. Sin Huellas (No Traces) has already finished but gets another mention for being as funny as it was, with a cute, hot couple at the center. Rabbit Hole's just started, but the initial antagonist/probable grudging ally's an FBI lady who within the first 10 minutes of the first ep dropped that she had a wife. Van der Valk has started its third season and though I'm gonna keep hoping Lucienne's INCREDIBLY hot ex from 2x03 returns, Lucienne, second billed, is plenty hot by herself. Ariana Guerra, who played the novitiate in Helstrom, has joined the second season of CSI: Vegas. Her character's bi and has a main character boyfriend but he seems like he'll most likely end up with a different character.

I'm not really going through these in any particular order, except combining the above two types, but let me just blow through the rest of the ongoing shows: the Canadian family comedy Run the Burbs has been quite sweet in how it's written the teen daughter, How I Met Your Father comes across as an old fashioned sitcom, except one of the characters is a lesbian. It's kind of fun in its familiarity and low stakes. I didn't expect to be as drawn into The Watchful Eye as I did, the trailer felt quite soapy and it was, at times, but all the nannies were great, and I ended up quite liking the f/f side couple. It's amazing what actual personalities can do. :o A Million Little Things is winding down its final season and Grace Park's character is engaged to Cameron Esposito's character so it feels pretty endgame at this point.

If you didn't watch or stopped watching Carnival Row because the main m/f relationship seemed so especially trite, you maaaay want to give it another look. I'm not nearly caught up with Bel-Air, but in the first season they wrote Ashley's sexuality really well, especially since she's so young. I'm sure you can't have missed my Perry Mason gifsets by now, but I can only reiterate what a great character Della Street is. One of the kids in Gotham Knights is bi (and her brother is trans!) but I'm not sure it's worth getting invested before cancellation. Unless the CW is only going to keep projects involving the Supernatural trio?

At this point, hoping everyone who's into wlw has at least tried Yellowjackets or is aware enough of it to know they don't want to try it. Las Pelotaris 1926 is a Spanish language historical drama about female athletes playing--well, the sport is basque pelota but if you need a reference point, it's like squash or racquetball. If you haven't yet caught up with RWBY, now would be an okay time. Lastly, I've still never watched any of Riverdale or even Choni clips, but its final season has just started and you know, I gotta respect the longevity of whatever they've been doing with them, however up and down they seem to have been, and perhaps this final season will be an up. From what I've seen on SM, they seem to get endgame soulmatey treatment more than any of the other ships and I can respect that.

Aside from the Thai dramas that might air after April and a few of the other shows that ended their seasons in March (or February in Gap's case), all of these have eps airing this month. After this year of cancellations, I think it's worth enjoying what we can, even as we acknowledge how much lead/main character rep and longevity we're losing. :o

"So you're Pidgeon's boy."

{A scent of cigarettes, and a weird sense of dread. She's sitting there, leaning against a doorframe, cigarette in mouth. She looks.. sickly.} "I've heard a lot about you. Not from her, of course." "I get around."

-@a-girl-with-one-eye

[The voice was.. unexpected, to say the least. Usually, when there was dread accompanied by dread, he expected to hear Jimmy soon after. Not this time.]

[He turned, the paperwork on his desk almost immediately forgotten. This was someone new, not from his sector of the Tulpar, that's for sure. But they knew Pigeon, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad?]

"Oh, Uh- Yes. That's uh.. My mom. And uhm. I'm glad to hear you've heard..? About me? All good things, I hope."

[He paused, looking away from her and then looking back. Was she alright? She looked.. ill.]

"Are you looking for Anya? I can take you yo the med bay, if you'd like."

[briarridgerp]

BENNY HELLSTROM (Bill Skarsgard) is looking for their YOUNGER SISTER.

CONNECTION NAME:

UTP — Last name is Hellström (their mother's maiden name)

CONNECTION:

Younger sister

AGE:

28 - 32 (Benny is 34)

FACECLAIM:

This is ultimately not that important because, at the end of the day, I want you to choose the fc that inspires you! But here are some things I noticed when choosing these fcs!

For some fun FC reasons, we can say that Benny takes after his mom. If you want an FC that resembles the dad (as well as their cousins, who are also in the roleplay), check out Frida Gustavsson (31)*, Lucy Boynton (30), Grace Van Patten (27) [ blonde hair, pointed features ] If you want an FC that is closer to Benny and their mom, check out Alycia Debnam-Carey (31), Sarah Pidgeon (29), Danielle Campbell (29) [ dark hair, green eyes ]

* Swedish

BACKGROUND

ABUSE, MURDER, DEATH, BLOOD, ILLNESS, DRUGS TW I recommend reading up on his full bio here, but here's the TLDR:

At 16 years old, Benny killed their father after their mother failed to drug him correctly during dinner. He woke up like a zombie and tried to get his hands on her, but Benny got in between them and blacked out. The next thing he knew, he was being pushed out of the house by his mother, who gave him money and told him to run away. He and his best friend, Gabriel Vargas, ran away from Suffolk, Virginia, to Chicago and remained there for 10 years. [You are free to decide where his younger sister was during this and what happened for the next ten years between her and their mother!]

Benny never contacted his family after running away, but after hearing that their mother was ill, he decided that it was time to finally reunite with them.[You can decide whether the sister managed to tell him or their mother!]

SIBLINGSHIP: Growing up, I imagined their relationship to be very close. Benny sacrificed his childhood to protect his little sister from their father and wanted her to have the childhood he could not have. He was protective and was right by their mother's side, raising her. I didn't mention or have any headcannons as to what their father's relationship was like with his only daughter, so you're free to decide that as well! Benny has always steered clear of his father as he learned not being in his way or interacting with him always gave the safest result, but he could've been different with her!

Some questions to get the noggin going! If you're unsure where to start, here are some questions that can prompt some brainstorming! Was she at home when the incident happened? How long has she been in the dark before knowing the truth? Perhaps she witnessed everything and is now in fear of her older brother... Does she hold grudges for Benny never reaching out? Did she refuse to call him after they found his number, and so the mother did it instead? Maybe she went into immediate caretaker mode after learning their mom was sick... maybe she's not the one who needs protecting anymore!

EXTRA

This connection will automatically come with three connections! Their cousins, Weston and Holly Parker, and Benny's best friend, Gabriel Vargas. (Gabe visited their home often since they were kids. He was around a lot!)

I'm up for brainstorming any and all possibilities as long as the important parts that involve Benny remain the same!

I just threw up like half-a-tashcan worth and now I'm stuck with vomit stench in my room from missing the bucket 😭

Anyway, to help myself calm down before I sleep I decided to think up more "What animal vibes do Zenless Zone Zero characters give off?"

This should also help me for the next time I get artblock (I can't do human fanart... but I can do animals! So maybe?)

Anyway. Everything is under the cut!

Nicole Demara: Nicole would be a chihuahua. Very big, 'I'm better than you' type-of attitude, and.... I think it's just her expression for her on-field opening appearance. She's so goofy! Such a silly!

Koleda Belobog: A lion (female lions can in fact have manes if they have enough testosterone.)

Ben Bigger: A capybara.

Soldier 11: A wolf.

Anby Demara: A wolf that split from her pack to go it alone for a while, before establishing her own with Nicole.

Billy Kid: A bald eagle. Mostly because they pretend to sound much cooler than they are by using sounds that come from red-tailed hawks.

Anton Ivanov: Guinea pig.

Zhu Yuan: A bumblebee. Hardworking when on duty, but stops working when the lights grow dim/when off-duty. Also there's probably a beehind joke or something, but I don't want to make it.

Seth Lowell: Bulldog, or Boston terrier. Morally good with a heart of gold, but makes goofy faces, is impossible to take seriously, and, unlike other, much smarter dogs like the Labrador or Golden Retreiver, is low-matenience and easy to entertain. Very simple lil guy.

Qingyi: An incredibly old Terrible Terror from How To Train Your Dragon. Non-real animal, in which there's an abundance of. I could also argue pidgeon.

Corin Wikes: Groundhog. Prey animal (nervous by nature), and unknowingly does damage with sharp weapons (teeth).

Caesar: Horse. Protects her herd, fast motorcycle, and seems to be a social, reliable leader when off the job.

Burnice: Bruce the bear from the children's book Big Bad Bruce, by Bill Peet. In the Outer-Ring's trailer she burns a lizard for pure amusement. If not this very specific character, she's a cocker spaniel.

Lucy: Pufferfish? Porcupine? Red panda? Idk, but angry and will try to look large, even though she's not much of a threat. Preferably something agile with a short temper, and non-bulky.

Piper: Sloth or koala.

Lighter: Red-tailed hawk.

Belle: Curious, overly playful 3-8-month old black/tortishell kitten. Or a ferret.

Wise: The kind of cat that naps in the sun everyday, acts annoyed with the playful kitten/ferret, but easily gets roped into playing with her.

[fideidefenswhore]

If someone came to you tomorrow and said we need you to make a movie or TV series about Anne Boleyn who would you cast (for Anne or for any other characters you would include)?

I would need a time machine for some of them (unless we were doing a series about her through flashbacks of those who survived her...could be great, actually), such as:

Sarah Foret as Mary (Howard) Fitzroy, Duchess of Richmond:

The above would be like, her in the 1550s? Sarah Foret circa 2004 is truly how I envision Mary in the 1530s tho:

(Left)

Ok, good a starting point as any, let's go with the rest of the relevant Howards:

Lotte Verbeek or Caitronia Balfe as Elizabeth (Howard) Boleyn, Countess of Wiltshire (these would be perfect if we began around 1520), Natasha McElhone for late 1530s

Colm Meaney as Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk:

Jeremy Irons as Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk (1540s...for earlier I can't think of who has the right juice to pull this role off, maybe Pablo Schreiber?):

Now, onto the Boleyns,

Either Aidan Turner or Ben Barnes as Thomas Boleyn, Earl of Wiltshire (again, circa 1520, they are actually the right age for this, had to remind myself of this, too), Tobias Menzies for late 1530s

Theo James (this is cheating, unless I'm casting an AU where the Boleyns rise and do not fall 1536-, aha...unless?, but I know he can convicingly play a wide array of ages from Time Traveler's Wife) or Leo Suter (more accurately aged) for George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford, or somewhere in between, Jonathan Bailey:

For Mary Boleyn, I'm going to shortcut again and go with a previous documentary casting, Elizabeth McCafferty (I loved Lois Brabin's acting but it's really clear the casting department wanted to play on the 'contrast' btwn sisters for BSR, the one confirmed portrait we have of Mary suggests that she was actually brunette with amber eyes, not the ScarJo typecast that has had such staying power):

For Jane (Parker) Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford, I would cast Morfydd Clark:

Phoning in the Henry&Anne, I'm going to stay with the casting of the newest Borman documentary short (I simply love it, so),

But I'm going to try my hand at Henry VIII circa 1540s and cast Eric Keenleyside:

I've stayed in the familial but I'm also going to play my ace of casting Sarah Pidgeon as Margaret Wyatt (hopefully BSR has broken the mold and in the future we're going to get the full cast of AB's confidantes and friends, among them:

[popculturebuffet]

Next up for Warner Bros Animation, favorite character from the mid-late 2010s era of shows (aka the point when they started putting most of the WBA shows on Boomerang, maybe they were trying to rebrand Boomerang beyond just "old rerun house" around that time plus Cartoon Network in general going through change at that point, and the few that did air on Cartoon Network were screwed over in the end): The Tom and Jerry Show 2014, Mike Tyson Mysteries (WBA's first show for Adult Swim), Wabbit/New Looney Tunes, Be Cool Scooby Doo, Bunnicula, Right Now Kapow (surprisingly the rare time WBA produced a show for a Disney network), Justice League Action, Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, Wacky Races 2017, and Unikitty?

Okay so let's take a bunch out: I haven't seen tom and jerry show 2014, wabbit, bunnicula, right now kopow, jla, dorthy or wacky races. Want to see that last one just haven't. SO gonna be a lgither lineup

Mike Tyson Mysteries: Pidgeon. It's Norm McDonald allowed to basically just riff half the time whlie playing a man turned into a pidgeon. Of course he wins. The show itself is genius... I first watched it thinking it was another throaway adult swim show. While the block has had had a ton of gems (Including aquired shows like mission hill or oblongs i'd like included, shows that didn't get a good chance first go round), it sometimes just falls into the bad cliches of adult animation. This show though.. is just fun, a filmation style show that pokes fun at tyson (Whose barely coherent), the concept and does whatever it wants. It could've gotten old quick given the similar hannah barbarera already got a ton of riffs early in adult swims life, but it didn't. Good stuff.

Be Cool Scooby Doo: Scooby who is just at his sassisest here and I support this. I watched thorugh all of this with @jess-the-vampire over the past few years. Now when this first aired I ignored it: I was bitter mystery inc was gone and had seen far too many cartoons lazily rip off family guys style to like the art style. And while the art style is still i'ts weakest part, Be Cool is easily the most underated Scooby Doo series. The wackier tone.. is necessary after the darker if still batshit insane mystery inc. Trying to do mystery inc again wasn't going to work.

So instead it's goofier: the mystery machine can transform, and we get some fun plots as the gang tries to solve a train mystery, deals with fred's need to solve a christmas mystery when instead having to deal with a ptreodactyl, shaggy becomes king of the goths, and fred's entirely too tight shorts disturb the gang whose too polite to tell him. The show goes places, having Velma sing the summation, reluctantly as hell, and it is all the better for it. It also plays with Daphne and Fred: While the other three are abou tthe same (Though Scooby is now sassy as hell as mentioned and the world is better for it), Fred is taken back to being the straight man, but often finds himself succubming to antics, a neat take and Daphne is given a quirk of the week and made a cloud cuckoolander. It allows Frank and Grey to play with the characters more and allows the writers to try something new. The result is awesome and the shows well worth checking out.

Unikitty: Dr. Fox ENTIRELY because she's played by Kate Miccui. The show itself.. is decent. Nothing amazing, but I will say it has more to it than the actual sequel to the lego movie and has some fun with it's pretty standard premise and weird as hell characters.

Kidge summer event

Day 6: smoothie 🥤

Characters: Pidge/Katie holt, Keith Kogane, Hunk Garret, Lance McClain, Allura Altea, Shay, Kosmo....

Pairing: pidge and keith : kidge ( Hay : Hunk and Shay ) ( Allurance )

post season 8

A/N: Allura is still alive in that universe.

It was one of the multiple paladin's meeting on New Altea where the Altean Sun was lighting the multiple field of colored junibery flowers.

The paladins were gathered around their usual table where only one of them was missing. Unfortunately, Shiro was in vacations with hid husband, Curtis.

Passing that detail, it was such a nice summer day.

Hunk and Shay, his girlfriend, had made lunch for everyone. It was now time for a refresh...

"What can we do for dessert?.."

Hunk asked in worry.

"Well, I'm sure they wouldn't mind eating a burnt cake... Besides, they're your friends, They would understand."

Shay answered as she was looking at the cake that had burnt in the oven.

Hunk sighed at Shay's words and turned towards the window to see his friends.

He saw how Keith and pidge were close at the table. How Keith tried to flirt with her and how she was not bothered with it.... Actually, she was even flirting back.

He then turned to see Allura and Lance: Allura had a grin on her face, she was starting at both Keith and pidge with the same thoughts then Hunk.

Lance, him, had a hand on his girlfriend's hip. He was also looking at the two but not with the same expression. He was more like: "dios mío, get a room!!"

Hunk got his head inside the kitchen again.

"have you noticed how Keith and Pidgeon are flirting together? Like man, they got very close in the last years and I'm pretty sure they have feelings for each other... The problem Is that or they don't even notice their feelings, or they are just too awkward to try something..."

"There was a time where I thought they were dating..."

Shay admited. She gave the burnt cake to Kosmo that was laying in the kitchen's ground. ( Kosmo with his cosmic stomach could literally eat everything...) The kitchen's ground was cold, that's why he was laying there. 'CAUSE DAMN, IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE!

"it's hot, isn't it little one?.. let me get you some nice ice. Maybe a cold drink would help you too?"

Shay gave a pat to Kosmo before to give him some ice.

"you know what? That gives me an idea of desert..."

Hunk said with a smirk as he turned back to smirk at pidge and Keith...

Later, Hunk and Shay arrived at the table with the deserts:

"Ok everyone! The cake burnt... BUT! I came up with another idea of desert that I hope you'll enjoy!"

He placed the plate on the table; It had 3 smoothies.

One was green and red with a small slice of watermelon and kiwi. The second was completely blue but with two shades of it and a few blueberrys on it. The third one was yellow had Chocolat at the bottom and on the top of it.

"I made smoothies that you guys can share! Allura, Lance, I made you a blueberry smoothie with a small touch of mint inside of it. I picked that taste because you both were paladins of the blue lion... As for Keith and Pidge, I know you guys are not dating but I thought it would be nice if you shared your's... do you mind it ?"

Hunk knew exactly what he was doing. He also knew that they would agree for sure.

"Sounds good to me."

Keith said. He blushed slightly and turned his head to see pidge's reaction.

"Same."

She also blushed.

"All right! For you two, I picked cucumber, mint, kiwi, watermelon and strawberry. Reffing to your lions but also the the fact that you were both the arms of voltron! Now, I hope you guys will enjoy your drinks and that they will refresh you!"

Everyone thanked Hunk and Shay.

Hunk sat next to Allura. She turned at him:

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

She asked with a grin.

He placed a finger in front of his mouth and blinked.

"Hope that one of them will finally be courageous enough to ask the other out..."

She said in a sigh.

"I'm sur they will."

Hunk smiled at the two that were sharing the green and red smoothie. They were laughing together, not even noticing that everyone was staring at them.

They were in there own world, with their refreshing smoothie that sure tasted amazing in this summer day.

( SORRY FOR BEING SO LATE!!!!!JZJDFBISBDSIBFSIFBFIZND!!! Also, Hunk is the best match-maker ;). )

[ashippingpotato]

I want to see if you can guess who I am through this. You get one clue: we follow each other.

I just wanted to say that you make this world such a happier place. I don't know if you've heard this yet this morning, but you are the single most respectful and adorable person I've ever (kind of) met.

Don't change because every part of you is perfect from your bright smile to the doge at your feet.

Never forget it!

OMG THIS IS A BOOTIFUL PEICE OF ARTWORK ILYSM!!!

And I’m sorry if I get this wrong but here I go

Considering your accurate use of spelling And grammar I don’t think your raz I don’t think your lichen,mush or kogakio either. I think you are someone I talk to almost every day and has probably already complemented me already so I don’t think your museaway, sprout,lesquidhorse, oh-quishnakles, bibookdemon, history-chap, featherlight-whispers or thefinestkilljoy and I don’t think you’re someone I just met so I don’t think your belabeya, or jvlz. I could be atsualek but I don’t think u r. Your probably aren’t not6goblinsinacoat or future-Mr-red-lioneither. I don’t think pidgeon or arty is on at this time,I don’t think nyx is either. i don’t think your meh northstar because I was just talking to her and I don’t think she can type that fast (I’m srry) u could be chaotic-rampaging because you liked my post right after this was sent to me, but that might also be too obvious. Probably not skigle.pastelpop maybe…. I don’t think ocean-pie is on rn either. So your either Cha-Cha or willow.

I’m so sorry if I got it wrong 😭😭

any thoughts about an crossover AU thingy where YTTD highschoolers are in PJSK (maybe Sonobeno trio + Ranmaru in Kamiyama and Kugie and Anzu in Miya Girls?)

Ooooh I think my friend @pidgeon-peas actually made a Project Sekai au for his AI test idiots au if that interests you!

But hm… if I were to give the teens of yttd a Sekai… it’d look like…

Sara Joe Ryoko and Ranmaru(?)- So my first thought was “school sekai” but I was unsatisfied with that because the game itself already has a school Sekai. So I instead decided on “pet shop Sekai” centering around Sara and Joes cat and dog theming, and hey Ranmaru has fluffy hair so he can find a nice pommeranian to represent him. Ryoko’s more of a bunny gal btw. So I think their starting vocaloid will be Luka. Someone who’s cool and mature, but willing to break the ice and joke around a lot, much like Sara. I imagine the story with them is that Ranmaru gets caught up with the trio and goes to Sekai on accident, and Miku tells them to express their feelings and hey bottling everything up and being what everyone wants ISNT the best solution to everything (Looks them all in the eye) and also Ranmaru and Sara can chat about their special interest in samurais and ninjas

Anzu, Kugie, Kanna and Hinako- So my idea for this is Anzu drags these three to Ryuu to join her clown troupe because she needs members so she picks up her classmate, her sister, and a talented girl on the street who just so happens to be a member of a cult yay, woo, put her in a healthy environment. The Sekai can maybe be a tent Sekai like a circus tent? Though it may be too similar to Wonderland Sekai. Well they are putting on circus acts instead of plays so you be the judge. I think the guide for this one should be Len and Rin. Since Kugie and Kanna, the siblings are here, it’d be nice to have the sibling vocaloids as the initial set up. Plus their goofy antics would fit in as a circus show. Anyways they’re guided by Miku in Sekai and Ryuu outside! Good trade off!

Falcon can rip this annoying mf beak off his face of she wants to. That pidgeon isn't safe and whoever putting the pidgeon there really going to film it dying for view. They probably own that falcon too, they maybe really set up their pets to kill each other for Vine/Tiktok.

He looks over her shoulder, & then a moment later a pidgeon lands there.

Ludwig lets out a sigh, "It was only Zeno. Hallo, Liebling."

Day 91- Film: The Bad and the Beautiful 

Release date: December 25th, 1952. 

Studio: MGM 

Genre: Drama 

Director: Vincente Minnelli 

Producer: John Houseman 

Actors: Lana Turner, Kurt Douglas, Walter Pidgeon, Dick Powell, Barry Sullivan, Gloria Grahame 

Plot Summary: Johnathan Shields is a notorious Hollywood film producer known for making award winning pictures and betraying almost everyone he works with. After going bankrupt when he shelves an expensive epic, he reaches out to a famous director, actor, and writer, hoping to lure them into working with him on a new project. But they all hate his guts. 

My Rating (out of five stars): ****

If you like the Classical Hollywood era, and if you have a lot of knowledge of its history, especially, you’ll really enjoy this film. Even if you don’t know that much about the era, the film stands on its own as a well-made drama and character study. 

The Good: 

Minelli’s visuals. Vincente Minnelli’s films always look beautiful, no matter how good or bad they ultimately are. He uses space and camera movement in eye-catching, interesting, and pleasing ways. He’s one of those directors where “every shot can be a painting.” That was definitely true here. 

The peek behind the curtain of Classical Hollywood. Of course, this is still a movie, so the peek we get is still a filtered one, but it certainly doesn’t glamourize filmmaking of the time. It’s not entirely cynical, but you do see some of the dark side of the industry. You also just get a cool sense of what a film set might have been like. 

The scene where characters are walking through a Hollywood party. I loved this- I even got a little chill thinking this is probably as close to a portrayal as you’ll get of one. Minnelli would have known well what the experience of going to one was like. 

 Guessing about all the inside references. David O. Selznick is the first one mentioned when people wonder who Johnathan Shields represented, but those involved with the production admit it was an amalgam of other producers too. People also like to guess about some of the directors and other behind the scenes people. Were certain characters based on certain people? It’s fun to consider. 

The way things weren’t overly romanticized. This wasn’t an entirely bleak film that excoriated Hollywood the way Sunset Boulevard did, but it also wasn’t the kind of movie where you walk away thinking, “Gee, Hollywood seems like such a nice beautiful place!” The large dose of reality was commendable for something made in 1952. 

The three main characters Shields is trying to woo back cannot stand him, thinking he ruined their lives. But it is brought up several times that all three have gone on to have huge success in spite of the betrayals. I liked the complexity of that. 

The writing was good. There was much witty or pithy quotable dialogue that I enjoyed. It wasn’t a perfectly written film, but it was often smart. 

I liked the structure. We get three basically separate stories that fall under the same over-arching plot and theme. 

Kirk Douglas. I thought he was really good in this, as he usually is. You can understand why people fell under Shields' charms, making the betrayals hurt more. Douglas plays the role fully understanding that Shields was not all bad or all evil. He was a complicated human being. Still one you’d probably call an a-hole, but complicated. 

Mrs. Cleaver! Barbara Billingsley, who played the mom on Leave it to Beaver, had a small role as a costume lady. I loved that her whole demeanor was different than the housewife she played on TV. 

All the MGM character actors! If you know and love MGM, you’ll recognize A LOT of their contract character actors. 

Walter Pidgeon. I always like him in things, especially as he got older. He’s perfect for the role of an elder-stateman. 

The film was never boring. It was 2 full hours, which wasn’t common back then, but the time flew by. 

The Bad: 

I still don’t love Lana Turner. Maybe it’s because I’m not a straight man, but I just don’t understand her appeal. She’s beautiful, but not outrageously so. She’s also just a barely competent actress, in my opinion. No disrespect meant. I think some of her appeal to men is similar to the Marilyn Monroe thing- she has lots of sexual energy but also a "lost little girl who needs saving” kind of vibe. 

I felt the writer’s story was the least compelling. I liked Dick Powell in this, so it wasn’t his fault. It was the script really, I think. 

I’m not sure how I feel about the very last scene. I generally enjoy ambiguity, but I kind of wanted them to all stick to their guns and say, “Fu-k off, Shields!”

Inej pulled herself up onto the roof, sitting down and letting her legs dangle over the casmn below. Her eyes weren't on the streets, but up, viewing past the mixed architecture of buildings all the way out into the harbour. This was the Ketterdam she loved.

Up here, she could breathe. There was no one who could reach her in her kingdome, except for maybe Harij and Inej knew there was nothing to fear from her brother. "Some days, when the clouds decide to leave this city alone you can see the blue of the ocean and all the way to the horizon. I'll take you to fifth harbour when we get the chance." Inej stretched her arm. "We're in the Barrel. Pleasure district, everything from gambling dens to pleasure halls, but it's also the place for people down on their luck to come, especially when you move south into the slums. Up there is the Lid. It's everything we have here but for pidgeons with a lot more scrub and who like things a little bit more neat. There's little Ravka and the financial district, you would love the university district. The Kooperone has great waffles."

“Feel free to try.” Inej winked at him, then took his knife into her own hand, handle first. It was slender, perfectly balanced when she tested the weight and then flipped it once, catching it again easily. “I’m glad to hear that. And the same goes for me… I have learned to fight here at least.” Inej remembered the days of Kaz and Jesper trying to teach her how to fight and how she still practiced to copy moves she watched on the streets to form them into her own. But there was a great deal between protecting herself and ending a life on purpose. How would Harij take it, Inej wondered. He would find out eventually.

The slavers… the words made her flinch involuntarily. “They will pay… one day. All of them.” Something dark mixed into the tone of her voice. “I do. I haven’t seen much more of Kerch then Belent and Ketterdam though and most of all this city. Let me show you something.” Inej stood, then drew herself up the nearest wall, scaling a path up the building, trusting Harij to find a way to follow.

Harij grins, twirling the knife in his hand to get a good feel for it. “I can make any knife throw well,” he says, with a hint of his childish bravado. He nods. “Good. I never thought we would have to, but…. I’m glad we can protect ourselves now. How to fight.”

Harij’s brows furrow slightly with worry, but when she gets up, he follows. It’s easy to climb up the building after her, and he pulls himself up beside her when she stops climbing. He looks around with interest and fascination. “Saints.”
