Love the implication that if you have or ever had an issue with the constant homophobia of trans ideology, you’re automatically pro conservative and probably vote for them and you deserve any and all the homophobic laws potentially coming to you from them.

Protagonists:

Oliver Sallow:

Name: Oliver July Sallow

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Species: Border Collie

Job: Farmer

Partner: Chilli

Voice Claim: Jack Kline from Supernatural

Theme: Alien Blues - Vundabar, Johnny - American Murder Song

Oliver was born in Clovelly, and lived there for most of his life. After his mother broke up with his dad and moved out, his dad decided for them and his brother to move to London for a while. When they decided to move back to Clovelly, Oliver stayed, now 16 with the excuse that he’d be better by himself. That wasn’t true though, as the only reason he stayed is Chilli. They grew up together and when the new queen was elected, everything changed. In general what you have to know about him is that he’s EXTREMELY happy go lucky, but gets sick extremely easily so his trips to the doctor are monthly (mostly because he refuses to eat other fruit other than lotus). His voice is melodical and fun to listen to, and he usually wears his cape, but sometimes doesn’t. His favorite color is green and blue cause he wants to do anything to be matching with Chilli.

Chilli Frensby:

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Chilli had an immensely difficult childhood. His parents were thieves and we're hung for their crimes when he was 4. He lived with his beloved grandma in a poor condition and one day lost her. A few days later he met Oliver, who he ended up connecting to more than anyone. Chilli is the bright logical mind of the group and sadly the one who understands everything. In addition, he has a very monotone voice which only shows emotion when he's scared or surprised. He always carries the compass that tracks down Dorothy with him. One thing you need to know about Chilli is that he never ever forgets difficult times.

Millie Tuffin:

Species: Cocker Spaniel

Job: Babysitter

Partner: None

Izaac has always been a calm individual, but due to his anxiety of losing close people due to him losing his sister at a young age, he and Dylan's break up hit harder than anticipated especially since they have a son. He is a sucker for the color purple and loves bubble baths with Dylan. When he and Dylan got together again, he was filled with hope for the future, nothing will go wrong when they're together. He has a straightforward voice and always gets the point across no matter what. When he cries he breaks hearts due to him being so fragile when he loses people despite his muscularity.

He has an obsession with snow and ice and loves pretty shades of blue. He painted the spirals on his, Oliver and Chilli's clothes himself. He is easily manipulated and when he and Izaac got back together he promised he'd never leave. He has a soft, shy voice and stammers easily when he's nervous.

[thursdayinspace]

It’s been a few days since I’ve watched “Irresistible” and I’ve been trying to figure out what to say about it since, because there’s so much. This is, of course, entirely Scully’s episode, and what really stands out to me are two things: the way she protects herself by demanding too much of herself, and the way she’s working on figuring out her role in her professional relationship and friendship with Mulder.

She struggles hard with this case right from the beginning. It gets to her in a way we have never seen before; she’s visibly affected by what they’re dealing with. It’s obvious in the graveyard already, and then in the field office later, she has to put the file down and leave the room after looking at the pictures. When Mulder tells her he will cancel their flights out you can see the nausea on her face. We get a glimpse into what’s going on inside her in her voice over when she’s writing her report: “It is somehow easier to believe, as Agent Bocks does, in aliens and UFOs, than in the kind of cold blooded inhuman monster who could prey on the living to scavenge from the dead.” She is horrified. But of course she keeps going. She knows dealing with gruesome things is part of the job. In a rare show of vulnerability, she hangs back a moment when they find the dead prostitute. She tells Mulder she needs a minute. Mulder looks surprised, concerned, but doesn’t comment on it. Scully turns away from the scene, looking sick and at the same time like she has no idea what’s happening to her. Of course she does the autopsy. Scully does her job. Even though it’s clear from her expression and her voice in the voice over how shaken she is. She goes on later to call the murder angry and dehumanizing . . . It’s getting to her more than we’ve ever seen before.

Being Scully, she looks for a strategy to continue on with their investigation without having to admit that – and taking the body back to Washington where she will have the better equipment is a really good excuse, and one that a different partner might have simply accepted at face value. GA does an excellent job here (as always), making Scully sound like she’s really just doing what’s best for their investigation, rational and pragmatic as always, but with the subtle hints of her struggle still noticeable in her face and in her voice. Any partner who didn’t know her as well might miss it. But Mulder knows her, which is exactly what she’s afraid of, and most likely also a reason she wants to leave. He can’t see her struggling over this.

Mulder’s reaction is such an important moment in the episode and in their relationship. Of course he knows there is more going on, and he’s so gentle with her, giving her a way out that is completely sincere, and utterly respectful. “I think it's a good idea. I just don't want you to think you have to hide anything from me, Scully. I've seen agents with twenty years in the field fall apart on cases like this.” His voice is soft, but that’s as much because this is just how they talk with each other as it is because he doesn’t want anyone else to hear. And he’s basically telling her that having a hard time with this is nothing to be ashamed of, it happens to literally anyone. He won’t think any differently of her if she has to withdraw from this. And that she can talk to him. He lets her know that they’re partners, but not just work partners. They’re friends. It’s a reminder that she can trust him, that he’s there for her if she needs him. The way she looks at him when he says that is telling: she knows that he knows. And I think she knows his concern is genuine and she knows she doesn’t have to hide this from him. And then her “I'm fine, Mulder. I can handle it.” She’s close to breaking there, but she leaves and he lets her, and this is where we have to talk about Mulder for a second.

Mulder knows she’s struggling hard with this. He can see it. He would understand if she couldn’t do it, he tells her as much. He knows she’s lying when she says she’s okay. We know how much he cares about her and how much he wants to protect her. But she says she’s fine, she says she can do it. She wants to go to Washington and continue working on the case from there. Whatever he may think, however many doubts he may have about her emotional well-being here, he knows it’s not his job to decide how she handles this. He offers his support, and if she needs him he will be there, but he has way too much respect for her to push her on this and request that she step back. She makes her own decisions. I want to talk about this because I’ve been thinking about her brother in the cancer arc, who blames Mulder for everything that happened to Scully, as if she’s nothing but a blind follower with no agency. A sidekick. A woman who lets a man direct her life choices. And that contrast seems to me like a good way to examine Mulder’s behavior here: He doesn’t think of her that way. Never. Scully is there because she wants to be and she can decide that for herself. He worries about her. He feels guilty for the things that happen to her all throughout the show all the way into the revival. But he never once robs her of her agency. I think this is important because it’s a core element of their relationship. Look at how women still get treated in the workplace these days. Look at how women still are seen as the weaker than men. Mulder never does that to her. She is his equal. I firmly believe, and this is a hill I will die on, that he would have given the same out and offered the same support to a male partner. End of digression.

We see Scully talking to a councilor back in Washington, and this comes back to what I said above about Scully protecting herself by demanding too much of herself: Being asked why she’s talking about herself in the second person, she guesses it’s another way of detaching herself from it. She says she knows it’s her job to protect people from predators. “And I've counted on that fact to give me faith in my ability to do what I do. I want that faith back. I need it back.” Scully believes in the work, it’s more important to her than anything. She can’t fail. She says about Mulder: “I know it sounds crazy, but I don't want him to know how much this is bothering me. I don't want him to think he has to protect me.” She has walls built up around her as we all do, she presents a certain picture of herself to the world, and she needs that firmly in place for a million reasons. It protects her. She’s still relatively new to this work, she’s a woman in a strongly male-dominated field, and working on the x files they’re always under special scrutiny anyway, they can’t slip up. Pushing beyond her limits seems absolutely necessary to her. She has to prove that she can do it. Self-care is not on her agenda. She shares that with Mulder. Soldiering on despite the absolute horror she feels and the way this case is making her physically sick is the only way she knows how to protect herself from showing any cracks in her armor. Because she knows, she one hundred percent knows that if she shows any weakness, she will never live it down. I think that is something very relatable and something that’s as relevant today as it was in the 90s.

Briefly touching on what this means in terms of her relationship with Mulder, because that is an important part of the episode and season 2 in general: I don’t believe she thinks it would change his opinion of her. I think she knows he respects her too much. But she can’t even take the tiniest chance that’s she’s wrong about that. His approval and his respect are important to her. Being seen as his equal is important to her. She wants him to know that he can rely on her and she won’t break under pressure. She still thinks she needs to prove herself. If he can do it, then she will too. At the same time, yes, she knows that he knows. And a part of why she doesn’t want him to know is that she wants to protect him too. She must know what he did when she was abducted, all the rules he broke to get her back. So she is well aware of the lengths he’d go to for her. The last thing she wants to do is give him any more reason to worry. She wants to protect both of them.

The exchange between them on the phone when she decides to go join him again in Minneapolis is the closest we get to a resolution of this emotional arc between the two of them in this episode:

Mulder: “Are you staying on there, Scully?”

Scully: “No. I'm coming back tonight.”

Mulder: “Look, Scully. I know this is a pretty horrific case -”

Scully: “I'm okay with it, Mulder. You can use my help.”

Mulder: “Always!”

She sounds so much better after getting some distance, after talking to the councilor. She is not okay. But she understands herself a little better. “You can use my help,” there is almost a teasing note in there. Mulder’s “Always!” is so sincere, a reassurance that he believes her she’s ready to come back.

Everything that happens with Pfaster . . . good god. She’s only just back from one abduction and then that. It’s really hard to watch. Equally hard to watch is Mulder’s worry. That has to give him some flashbacks. Of course it’s a hunch of his that lets them find her, and just in time too. And we get an emotional reunion that we didn’t truly get after the abduction. Scully insists she’s fine, but this time she can’t keep the walls in place – who could, in her situation?? You know how in fanfiction people let out the breath they hadn’t even known they were holding after an emotional situation is resolved? That’s Scully finally allowing herself to cry. She doesn’t want to, but sometimes holding the feelings in is worse than breaking in front of someone. Mulder’s face in that hug doesn’t show the relief that might have been expected, and I like DD’s acting choice there. He looks almost worried. It makes sense to me; she’s alive and has all her fingers, but this has really taken it out of her. And after everything she’s been through too. There isn’t any real emotional release for them at the end of this episode, and after the horror of it, I think leaving them shaken up and very much Not Okay is exactly the right thing to do.

It’s a hard episode to watch, but one Scully needed in season 2.

Can you do a Larry Johnson X reader with ADHD, Fluff story

(A bit more info abt me: I have style my hair in an Afro with bangs just above my eyebrow which is dyed black, I’m black but with light skin, I curse a lot and I’m usually seen as loud or childish, and I’m an ENTP)

And can it be in a setting where we go out to an arcade or smth?

Please and tysm!!

Arcade Date!

Larry Johnson x Adhd!reader

Im so so sorry for how long this took! Tumblr keeps eating my posts and I didn’t realise this one had been eaten too until today ;-; this should’ve been posted months ago </3

Anyways! Technical issues aside! Hope you enjoy!

“Fuck yeahh!! Beat that score Larry!”

“You’ve gotta be cheating! There's no way you beat my score! Sal! You’re with me right? Y/n’s cheatin!”

Said blue haired male looks at the two lovers hunched over the game as he sips on a slushy. 

He doesn’t know why he’s here. He knew you guys were going on a date, he just had to make sure you two behave and don’t kill anyone. He now regrets his decision.

“Uh.. soooo… Im gonna go over here”

“Hey- Sal! Get back here, don't walk away! You gotta help me beat y/n and their freakish hyperfocus!” Larry calls after his best friend before turning to face you, who was still clicking away at the game, unblinking.

“No fair! I didn’t know you hyperfixated on this game recently! You have ADHD superpowers!”

You chuckle

“Actually, I told you about it last week- Yeah! Beat the score again!”

Larry groans as he grabs your hand and drags you away from the machine.

“Alright! Next game! This time I’m gonna beat your ass!”

“Oh yeah? Not if I beat your ass first! I’m a pro gamer, you don’t stand a fucking chance!” You proclaim loudly, causing a startled mother to cover her child's ears and glare at you for your use of profanities.

“Oops.. sorry” You give a little apology wave as Larry laughs at you

You punch his arm lightly before making your way to a claw machine.

“Come on man these things are rigged!” Larry protests as you fish out your coins from your pocket.

“What, are you that bad at a silly game?” You tease him as you insert the coin.

You try your hardest to grab a little alien plush in the middle, but even when you grab it, it drops as soon as the claw lifts it into the air.

You groan

“This thing is so rigged!” Larry laughs at you again.

“Told you dude! Let me try” Larry lightly pushes you away to try win the alien plush.

After way too many attempts, and lots of money spent on the claw machine, Larry manages to hook the claw on the tag of the alien.

You both gasp and you grab Larry’s arm as the claw moves to the slot in the corner, waiting with held breaths.

When the alien drops in the prize box you both scream and start jumping while pushing each other back and forth, earning you some strange looks from people nearby.

“Yes! You did it!” You laugh

“That I did. I believe you owe me an apology” Larry grins at you

“Ugh, fine. Maybe you’re not as crappy at games as I thought.” 

Satisfied, Larry grabs out the alien and looks at you before handing it over.

“For you, milady” He dramatically bows while putting on a silly accent.

You laugh “You’re so cliche”

He stands up straight and smiles as he pulls you into him for a hug.

You both freeze as you hear a camera shutter.

“Nice, can’t wait to show this to the rest of the gang.” 

You turn around to see Sal standing there with his phone, pointing it at the two of you.

“Sal! You prick! Give me that phone!”

“Dammit Sal! Get back here!”

You and Larry proceed to chase a laughing Sal around the arcade before the three of you are told to leave by the employees.

“This is why I can’t let you two go anywhere unsupervised.” Sal tuts

“Excuse you! If you hadn’t taken that photo, we wouldn’t have been kicked out!” Larry nods his head at your statement

“I have no idea what you're talking about.”

“Sal don’t gaslight us!” 

 Cue you and Larry yet again chasing Sal back to the apartments.

Little did you know, Sal posted the photo, and a video of you two chasing him to a group chat with the gang.

Sally Face: *1 photo and 1 video* Yeah, they’re definitely made for each other.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Cthulhu Returns as a Soccer Dad, in... Tokyo Soul!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / You Are Here!

Last Time on Tokyo Soul...

"So yeah, these are definitely gonna come out slower from now on." -- Me, a Fool

Yeah I have no excuse. But! With this big batch of episodes down, the finale is so close I can smell it. It smells like something witty I'll think of later.

This report contains mentions of: Blood, Violence, Death, Guns Medical Malpractice, Allusions to Sexual Harassment/Assault

So Let's Get Back To It...

Episode 36 – A NEW FRIEND!!

Sam and Grian are on Taurtis’s computer, looking at his search history. He’s been searching for hair growth formulas.

Doughboy has been cooking parts of himself and distributing them to people.

Grian and Sam convince Taurtis to do several very stupid things on the premise that they can cure hair loss.

Geode is having a yard sale of all the trash he’s collected. And also Taurtis’s school locker.

They go to the train station to pick up another one of Sam’s friends, this time from Canada. He and Suspicious Person (remember Suspicious Person? From way back in episode 1?) walk out of the walkway on fire. The train platform is also on fire. Apparently Sam’s friend, Nick, set the fire.

Sam sent Nick Taurtis’s school uniform in the mail.

Sam apparently met Nick in a My Little Pony chatroom, where Nick said he was 14. The boys express doubt about this, given that Nick has a very full beard.

Grian: “We’ve had worse friends.”

Sam: “We were just talking about sports, right guys?” Grian: “Uh huh, sports! Footballfootballfootballtennishockey. Golf.”

I’m obsessed with the way he says this.

The cashier at the convenience store is Hank Kingofthe Hill except his name is Frank Chill. Just. By the way.

Episode 37 – DRAGON BALL Z!!

They all go over to Geode’s yard sale. He is frolicking around in the trash with a knife. He has a “mask” that is just a severed Dom Clone head. Grian wants to buy Taurtis’s locker. Geode just hands him a whole bunch of raw chicken. Geode doesn’t exactly grasp the concept of “sale”.

Another one of those weird aliens from the special has landed in the soccer field, and he’s brought Minions. Yes, those ones.

The alien guy gives a whole Dramatic Alien Speech to the effect of: he heard about Taurtis defeating that other alien guy in the special, and he would now also like to fight Taurtis.

Grian: “On a completely unrelated note, has anyone got any bullets?”

Basically Grian REALLY hates Minions and would really like the opportunity to actually shoot some in real life.

Anime Alien charges up for a good long while, and then Taurtis One Punches him. Then all the Minions charge, so the boys end up killing most of them too.

Sam: “How did you get this powerful, Taurtis?” Taurtis: “I did a push-up yesterday!”

As is tradition, they take Nick to Get His Class Schedule. Sam tells him there’s a fatality rate to the procedure, which I’m not sure I remember anyone saying before so he may just be fibbing. No one died that Sam saw, anyway.

Oh dear. So, Señor Loro is not wearing a shirt, because Geode is wearing his Christmas sweater. It turns out that Geode did, in fact, steal it from him without his knowledge, and attempts to deny ever having it. Despite this, Geode and Señor Loro both profess to being best friends. Grian is skeptical of the idea that someone would steal their best friend’s clothes and go to school wearing them. Sam argues that Grian has done that before. You may be able to see where this is going.

Anyway, Nick and Señor Loro fight. Unfortunately, someone has stolen all of the schedules.

Also this episode has the “Sam is my dog” blooper at the end.

EPISODE 38 – THE DARK LORD CTHULHU!

Chupa won the lottery for 5 cents, so he’s summoning Cthulhu again with a ritual meant to “gaze into time”. The ritual text is more old memes. Everyone makes Grian read it.

The whole class is transported to a room with blank white walls and a whole lot of bookshelves just kind of floating in various places. Igbar Cthulhu is there.

There’s also someone else who looks like a shadow with rainbow hair. Grian “wants whatever she’s smoking”.

Cthulhu has decided not to destroy humanity, and instead let Sam do it for him. Sam is “the cause of it all”. And also “the root of it all”.

Grian wants to know if he’ll ever get out of here. Cthulhu says it’s possible but not likely but also not really no.

Sam wants to know why they can still hear the school bell inside the weird room they’re in. Cthulhu says it’s a pocket space and they’re technically still in the classroom. Grian thinks this is bullshit and Cthulhu is just Saying Words.

Grian wants to know: “How do I kill Sam?” Cthulhu says: “You can’t.”

Also, the rainbow-hair shadow person is Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. Sam and Grian start bullying her.

They transport themselves back to the classroom, and Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep come with them, because they want a front row seat to the world’s destruction. Also, Grian is jealous that Sam gets to be a horseman of the apocalypse and he doesn’t.

Sam is now threatening to destroy the universe when his friends are mean to him. Grian tries to call his bluff. There is a very ominous sound of thunder, but nothing else really happens.

Dr. Nurse has apparently gotten tired of Grian bugging him about “learning” all the time, so he’s taking the class on a field trip inside an ambulance. They’re going to see a car crash!

EPISODE 39 – CAR CRASH!

They arrive at the car crash. There is a man covered in blood standing in front of a burning car. He’s actually mostly fine, but the guy he crashed into, on the other hand, appears to have been… decapitated. Death is beautiful, remarks Cthulhu.

Oh, apparently the other guy is not fine, his organs feel squishy. Dr. Nurse gives him CPR. He dies.

Dr. Nurse gets a report of screaming… at Kurokuma’s house. Kurokuma claims he was just listening to Screamo. They can hear the screams. Once again, no one pays any attention to Grian’s protests. He doesn’t protest very much.

Then they all rush off to help Doughboy open a jar of pickles. Grian is pretty ticked off.

They go back to school for lunch. Grian reveals he took something from Cthulhu’s pocket dimension called a “Sleeping Chaos Potion”. He’s contemplating drinking it. Sam, of all people, points out that it’s probably a bad idea to drink something called a Sleeping Chaos Potion, but he still ends up chanting “chug” alongside everyone else.

Grian drinks the potion, and starts taking damage. Cthulhu says he’ll be fine, there will just be some “lingering side effects”. “If you have dreams about the world exploding, let me know.” This surely won’t have consequences! (But really, as far as I’ve been able to glean there aren’t actually any consequences for this within the canon of Tokyo Soul. I, however, can think of plenty of consequences!)

Also I feel like it’s worth noting, it turns out that Geode milking Dom way back however many episodes ago must have been accomplished with some sort of mod, and not by just hitting him and quickly swapping a pre-prepared bucket of milk into Geode’s hotbar as I has assumed, because every time someone hits someone else while holding an empty bucket, said bucket becomes a bucket of milk named “[username of the person who was hit]’s Milk”. I just thought you should all know that, because I am completely baffled by the fact that they chose to do this and then leave the mod on the server instead of doing a much easier classic filmmaking trick, for what was supposed to be a one-off gag. Anyway. I just had to get that off my chest.

Anyway they’re in gym class and Cthulhu wants Sam to kill Invader. He kind of sounds like a dad at his kid’s soccer game, except instead of soccer it’s the destruction of Earth.

Another Anime Alien has landed on the track behind the school. Sam shoots him and he dies.

Okay so I’m now coming back to this after God knows how long and also after a Very Long Day so I am very tired. We will see how this affects the Energy.

Where were we. Ah, right, this was supposed to be Jerry’s gym class. He’s at a bit of a loss. Jerry is one of the most reasonable and responsible people in this show honestly. Like, he’s trying. No One Else in this school is trying.

Students: So, what do we do for gym class now? Jerry: "Uh. Play?"

Also one of the students falls in a hole and everyone else starts badgering them with the milk buckets and the fishing rods that sound like guns. What is with these people and just leaving weird shit on this server that isn’t supposed to be there? It does add to the Atmosphere, I’ll give it that.

Episode 40 – KILL THE MINION!

Professor Geode has claimed all the unused classrooms as His House. Well, specifically his Holiday Home. He also has a Shop. Grian points out that it’s all very clean for Geode. He finds this suspicious.

Geode has an indoor yard. With sheep. And a Minion. The sheep are also robots?

Geode’s plan for today’s class is to dissect the Minion. Also, Google Docs is still trying to autocorrect “Geode” to “God”.

Geode bloodily slices from the Minion: A Watermelon Slice. A Single Rose. The Minion Energy Core (he’ll save this for later). A Bucket Of Milk. Numerous Garbage Bags. A Potion Bottle Of Blood. More Cores. And A Skull. Sam speculates whether the skull means that the Minion ate a human alive, and then simply assumes it does mean that. Geode then kills the Minion.

Grian wonders if Geode has been learning what friendship is. Taurtis looks directly at the sun.

Taurtis: "Do you ever wonder if we’re alone in the universe?" Grian: "NO."

Oh, Jerry has stolen Geode’s TV. Now I know I just said Jerry is one of the more reasonable characters but I fucking love Jerry and Dom’s TV Saga so he can steal as many TVs as he wants.

Sam remembers that Taurtis technically won a spaceship that morning, so they go over to the soccer field and break into it. The ship pranks them with a fake self destruct sequence, and then the boys accidentally take off for Planet Canada.

And then it’s…… the end of the day, but not the end of the episode? But it seems like it’s still the end of the recording session because they’re now making an excuse for why Grian isn’t there and going off to do some whole other plot? And I’ve decided this is too confusing for this late at night so I’m calling it here for now.

Okay I’m back. Let’s see… Taurtis’s hair is growing back in weird patches because he’s been using a suspicious hair growth serum, Grian got left in Canada and Sam blames Taurtis because the spaceship is technically his.

Taurtis: "He’ll be fine, he’s with Nick- oh, God, you’re right." Sam: "He’s screwed, dude!"

Regardless, Sam has decided that he wants to be a superhero too.

They go downstairs, where the house is covered in “totally not stolen” appliances. Like, not just TVs, there’s also ovens, landline phones, refrigerators, an entire streetlight, and Taurtis’s locker. Apparently this was Jerry and Doughboy’s doing.

Dom seems to be dressed up as some superhero I haven’t heard of. Oh, he’s Rorschach from Watchman apparently.

Some sort of robot appears and says it has come for the “bald one”. It’s here to kill Taurtis before he becomes too strong. It was also sent by someone called “The Steampunker”.

Episode 41 – MEETING SUPER HEROES!

Sam and Taurtis tell the robot to shut up while they argue about which one of them should be the sidekick. The robot starts speaking in binary and then attacks Taurtis, who kills it. Sam and Taurtis continue their argument.

Sam says he’s “contacted” some superheroes and takes Taurtis to meet them. Also, Alex Minecraft is just, like, There and walking around. Wait, there’s some Steves too, a weirdly high amount of people just don’t have custom skins on in this recording session apparently.

They meet up with Sam’s superheroes at a coffee shop. There are also two Inconspicuous Bald Men at the coffee shop. Oh also one of the “superheroes” is Old Kurokuma, currently under the name “Kuma the Lion”.

The other superhero is called Captain Radiator or Luke, I assume he’s meant to be a reference to something but I have no idea what. But he’s wearing a yellow hazmat suit.

Sam wants his superhero name to be “The Strongest in All the Universe and the Leader of All”.

Kurokuma is still a creep.

Sam: "Okay, well my superpower, is… that… Taurtis! He- he neeed me. In the time of need."

Sam is also still insisting that he can destroy the universe because Cthulhu said so. Taurtis continues to doubt this.

Sam is given a superhero outfit. It is a rabbit costume.

Taurtis: "How do you defeat people like that? Do you like, jump on their head like Mario?" Sam: "I kill them with cuteness! And this 50-caliber sniper rifle."

Ah, the Inconspicuous Bald Men are holding up the superstore.

Episode 42 – SUPER VILLAINS!

They attempt to enter the superstore from the roof, but Taurtis misses the jump and gets trapped in an alleyway, so they all just agree to meet him at the front of the store.

Captain Radiator takes off his mask and gives everyone in the store radiation poisoning. It is unclear what this actually accomplishes.

Also, The Steampunker has appeared outside the superstore. He’s captured Invader and wants the heroes to meet him in a warehouse at midnight. The heroes just go there immediately.

Then they spend a Good Five Minutes trying to think of a superhero team name.

Captain Radiator tries to give the robots radiation poisoning, but fails, because they’re robots.

Oh also Invader is just kind of dangling above a vat of goo that supposedly will turn her into a robot. She doesn’t seem particularly distressed or anything though.

Taurtis volunteers to take Invader’s place because he thinks being a robot would be cool. Sam thinks this will put Taurtis under the Steampunker’s control, so they should kill him first. The Steampunker says the robot goo won’t work if he’s dead. Sam decides this means he can take the Steampunker’s place after they kill him and then he’ll be the one to control Robot Taurtis. Taurtis says he’d rather be controlled by the Steampunker.

Anyway, I think they eventually decide they want to kill the Steampunker after all, because Taurtis decides he wants to fight on the edge of the goo vat (because it’d be cool)... and the Steampunker punches him into the goo.

Episode 43 – KILL ME!

Taurtis breaks out of the vat and kills the Steampunker (he tried to let Sam kill him, but Sam failed). Then they try to get Invader down, but accidentally drop her into the vat. And it seems like her face is melting off, so Sam et al. run out of the warehouse like cowards.

Cthulhu shows up to tell Sam how proud he is of him for killing more people and melting a girl’s face off. Nyarlathotep gives everyone Mountain Dew. Cthulhu insults Taurtis’s hair, so Taurtis tries to punch him, it doesn’t work, and Cthulhu electrocutes him with a bolt of lightning.

Sam and Taurtis break into someone’s house and sneak out the back door, so Kurokuma doesn’t find out where they live. It doesn’t work, because they forgot they live with three other people who have no idea what the fuck they’re trying to do.

Dom, Jerry, and Doughboy are just living their best TV stealing lives and I support them.

Once AGAIN they are starting a new day in the middle of an episode and it’s really throwing me off my rhythm!!

Anyway. Taurtis has changed out of his One Punch Man outfit, and he’s in the kitchen angrily trying to make breakfast because, according to him, someone sent him a letter saying that if he didn’t make food, he’d be “fired”. I think it’s implied that Sam sent this letter, and that Taurtis knows this, and that Sam knows Taurtis knows this? But who honestly fucking knows with Sam.

Grian walks in! Apparently he’s “just been in orbit for a while”. He’s very confused about why there are so many appliances in the house. He also acquired his own spaceship somehow, and parked it on the roof.

Is it more interesting if the spaceship simply fell out of orbit directly above “Tokyo”/navigated there on its own automatically, implying that there is some supernatural force keeping Grian trapped there, or if Grian decided to go back there himself? Discuss. I could go either way, honestly, although I would like to find a way to have both, ideally.

Oh, apparently the context behind “Taurtis angrily making food or else he’ll be fired” is that it was something CC!Sam decided he wanted to do like right before filming the scene. “And then you can poison my food or something.” The more you know!

Thank God this episode doesn’t end in the middle of anything honestly.

Grian Trauma Count!

Deaths Witnessed:

Anime alien

Lots of minions

He didn’t actually witness the death, but he did see the decapitated body, so, Car Crash Victim Number the First

Car Crash Victim Number the Second

Grian seems pretty sure whoever was in Kurokuma’s basement died

Anime Alien The Second

Minion

Listen he had to get that second spaceship somehow

Injuries Sustained:

Basically anytime the guns come out I assume he gets shot a few times

Traumatic Events:

Subjected to another one of Sam’s shady friends

A somewhat all-powerful evil being tells him that Sam is going to destroy the world, there’s no way out of this town for him, and he can’t even kill Sam about it

Kurokuma

Sleeping Chaos Potion (even if there are no consequences in the canon series, it did still definitely hurt)

Look, he didn’t seem all that shaken up by the Minion Dissection, but I think it should still count

Got left in Canada. Again.

Next Time... Grian Pushes Someone Into A Big Hole

[k-s-morgan]

Hello Ekateryna!  First of all, I hope you’re well and that you haven’t been too badly affected by recent events. This situation is disastrous.                                     

I went to church recently and lit a candle for you and your loved ones. It’s nothing more than a small act of faith, and some people would find it stupid. But they say that as long as you have hope, you have life. In our hearts.     

Concerning your latest piece of fiction on time travel (about Harry and Tom), there’s a question that’s been bothering me. Let me explain: back then, people spoke differently; accents were different, elocution was different, expressions were different; people even used words that today are considered obsolete.    Anyway, my question is: how does Harry manage to fit in despite all this? Doesn’t it occur to anyone that the way he talks is really very odd or even very inappropriate? (The way we talk today might be considered vulgar or completely out of place by people of that time). I understand if you find my question fussy, but I’m genuinely curious.

On the same theme, in relation to the divergence of the times: does Harry have enough general knowledge to, for example, talk about politics or current affairs, or wizards and Muggles in those two spheres? Does he know the music, the fashions, the… OK, I mean, does he know enough about the times to fit in without people thinking, “This guy’s an alien”?     Or, on the contrary, do the people they talk to at Hogwarts find him strange, but don’t tell him so? Does Harry come across as eccentric? That would be really funny, in a sad-funny way, but funny nonetheless.     

I hope you don’t mind my asking. In any case, thank you for the time and energy you devote to your stories. I send you my love and I wish you courage for the future. I send you my love.

----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

Hi! Thank you so, so much for caring and lighting the candle for me and my family... This means a lot to me. I was so touched to read your ask, and when I told my Mom about it, she actually cried.

And thank you for an interesting question! I do have an explanation for how Harry is perceived by everyone. Since there is an intensifying war with Grindelwald, a lot of people are displaced. Harry arrived to Hogwarts as an orphan. We know there are other students in a similar situation, like Aline, who changed the countries, so most people automatically assume that Harry also came from some other part of the world. Everyone suspects that he’s an illegitimate part of the Potters family, so the general idea is that he was sent away for some other people to raise him, as far from England as possible, but that he still received proper education. So he knows English and he knows the spells, but a lot about his behavior and habits come across as somewhat unusual.  

No one asked him anything for now for different reasons: some depend on Tom to make a decision if someone is worthy of any consideration; others don’t want to touch the mess with the Potters; some despise Slytherins too much while others are just not interested. This will change now the more Harry becomes a part of Tom’s closest circle. 

As for Harry’s knowledge, I think he’s completely clueless about the majority of things :D He knows some things about WW2, but any specifics allude him; he can recognize some music but he’ll never be able to tell what period it is from. Right now, he doesn’t really talk to most people for these general innocent topics to come up, but it’ll start popping up here and there, with more people remarking on how weird Harry is. 

Tom, in turn, just attributes any weirdness to the differences between his world and Harry’s (fake) one. It’s really a very convenient excuse :D

Clark and Lois are BOTH Hypocrites and that’s GOOD

From an outside, ‘objective’ opinion, we as an audience can condemn one over the other. We can say that Lois is worse or Clark is worse but that’s defeating the point and beauty of the scene at the end of Episode 5 for My Adventures with Superman which is that they both think they’re in the right and have a right to be angry and hurt.

Spoilers going forward. Also, this is complex enough that I actually already covered Lois’ side of this and why her jumping was an emotional Catch 22. Short version is that Clark turning out to be Superman is not only a repeat of both her parents but also the first person to defy her expectations of the world turned out to potentially be just as bad, but him catching her also proves why she likes him so much.

But what about Clark’s side? It’s his secret after all. He shouldn’t have to tell anyone. It could put them in danger, he needs to trust them, isn’t it right for him to not tell anyone?

...Not after episode four. Episode four proved that the secret is selfish. He goes to tell her right there, right then in that hallway. And it’s actually entirely in character but for complicated reasons. He is SCARED of his powers before episode 2 effectively. His entire life, he has seen them as a problem. As such, the secret can’t hurt anyone because it’s only a problem for everyone, himself included. Hence why he wants to live a normal life, fall in love, etc. like that while still following his calling to help people by being a reporter.

Lois talking about how much lies hurt her, how she’s been feeling off, changes that. Briefly, Clark sees that it is still a lie. That all his moralizing is still true. It’s still a secret, it’s still keeping her in the dark and he should change that. And his moralizing REALLY matters here because if you’re going to bitch at EVERYONE for lying, stealing and pretending you’re someone you’re not (2/3 Clark has railed against before having to be Superman later, which enforces a secret as he pretends he’s not that person but someone else) then it means more when you break those morals.

But Clark is still a person. He’s not the embodiment of Lawful Good. Lawful Good after all dictates that he shouldn’t bother with a secret identity. That it’s wrong and you should tell the truth. But when Lois says she hates Superman, it brings all those fears back. It brings all the worries that these powers make it so he’s alone and alien rather than the normal guy he wants to be.

It’s also why during the argument, Lois just has the better argument. He’s lying, he’s putting himself in danger, he’s not caring about how much she worries about him despite her effectively spelling it out for him before forcing his hand. Even if she’s a bigger hypocrite because lies and secrets have been her thing... Have you also noticed that she hasn’t been doing that for an episode or so? Do you think she’s told ANYONE in the past DECADE about her father? But to not explain would have been lying and she is trying to do better by episode four. She is trying to act like someone Clark can like. A better person who trust again.

Meanwhile, Clark has NOTHING. His first claim is that she doesn’t know what’s going on in the city and when Lois tells him to tell her then, he drops it which of course he does! He doesn’t know what’s going on either! So instead it becomes smaller scale attacks. That she hates Superman. That he has no idea what she’ll do. Specific reasons why now, but not a couple days ago, he isn’t willing to trust her with the secret.

And that brings up the fact that while Lois has lied to Clark... I would bet money that Lois asks if Jimmy knows the next episode. And Clark isn’t going to have a good excuse for why he can’t trust his best friend with the secret either. Sure, Jimmy has Flamebird but does he really think Jimmy would betray him for a few views? Does he look at Jimmy that poorly?

And that’s what makes all of this work. No one is wholly in the right, but no one is wholly in the wrong (except maybe Jimmy who’s just kind of getting hurt as collateral to everything). Worse yet, when the conversation happens, Clark is caught off guard and just came back from a real nasty fight while Lois has spent at least the past fifteen minutes, if not much longer, worrying about tomorrow’s headline being “Super Roast! Come get some fried hero today!” Their emotions are a mess and the worst responses to the lies and pain come out.

Which makes the fact that they’re obviously both go to save Jimmy a good thing. A shared reminder of the good they both see in one another, a chance to talk after even just a little time has passed and a third voice to tell the two to breathe.

It’s tragic and it’s painful and it’s messy and in ways cartoons very, VERY rarely are willing to address, let alone so quickly, let alone as well as it is for how quick it has happened, but there is a ray of light at the end of this tunnel. A promise for a better future for all three. One where they are genuinely the three amigos. The three musketeers.

valentine’s day terumob?

But of course!

Word count: 1.8k

Tags: terumob, valentines day, flowers

In retrospect, maybe Shigeo should have realized that flower shops are at their busiest on Valentine’s Day. 

By the time he gets there, he’s out of breath, sweating through his school uniform, and there’s a line of people out the front door. Shigeo’s excitement very quickly turns into dread when he stands on his toes and counts the number of people ahead of him. Ah, not good. He’d thought that coming early before school might be enough to beat anyone else who may have his idea, but it seems like everyone had this idea. He even notices a few of his classmates a little bit ahead of him in line. 

Shigeo taps the shoulder of the person ahead of him. “Um, excuse me, do you think I could-”

“No way, bud,” they interrupt abruptly. “We’re all here because we forgot to get our girlfriend flowers. You can wait.”

But… Shigeo hadn’t forgotten. He and Teru had agreed not to get each other gifts, but then Shigeo had talked to Tome who insisted that was just boyfriend code for I’m secretly getting you a gift. Which only made Shigeo panic that much more, and he had decided to take a detour on the way to class to get something last minute. 

…And apparently, so had everyone else in Seasoning City.

By the time Shigeo is actually inside and able to make a selection, he’s pretty sure he’s going to be late for school. 

People brush by him carrying lovely bouquets full of roses and peonies and all sorts of big, pretty flowers. But when Shigeo reaches the shelves that are normally bursting with all sorts of arrangements, they’re totally bare. He frowns and looks around the store. They’re all empty? But… But it’s a flower shop. Flower shops can’t run out of the one thing they sell.

Panic grips his throat and threatens to squeeze the air from his lungs. No, no this can’t be right. He needs to get something for Teru! Or else that would make him a bad boyfriend, right?

Eventually, Shigeo makes his rounds around the entire store and finds one arrangement left. It’s… well, it’s minimalist, he supposes: one purple peony that’s still halfway to blooming, two smaller flowers, and a few sprigs of leaves. Shigeo feels himself deflate at the little bouquet in his hands. It’s nothing at all like his boyfriend. Teru walks into a room and exerts a confidence that demands attention to be drawn his way. This doesn’t fit him.

But it’s all that’s left, so it’ll have to do. Hopefully whatever Teru gets him won’t be too impressive.

–

Shigeo realizes he has to carry the flowers around all day, so he makes do and tucks them into the front pocket of his backpack with the blooms sticking out as much as they can. It’ll be alright. They only have to survive the school day until he can meet up with Teru.

Tome texts him in the middle of his last class to stop by the Telepathy Club slash Body Improvement Club’s room for a gift. According to Inukawa, she made Valentine’s for all her friends every year. 

She already has Shigeo’s waiting by her side when he comes into the room. Tome pauses her game and kicks her feet off the table to get up and greet him. “Happy Valentine’s Day, Mob!” Tome announces happily. Shigeo sets his bag on the ground to get some weight off of his back. His friend holds out his card, and he accepts it with a bow of his head.

It’s handmade: thick cardstock with a little alien in a spaceship orbiting the moon. In sparkly font, it says I’m over the moon for you, valentine! Shigeo runs his fingers over the lettering and smiles at its texture. 

“Thank you, Tome-chan.” Shigeo’s heart swells with appreciation.

“Don’t take it too much to heart,” Takenaka rings out from behind Tome, where he’s sharing a box of chocolates with Inukawa. “She uses the same, like, eight alien jokes every year.”

“At least I made something, moron!” Tome snaps back at him. “You just scribbled on a piece of notebook paper!” Inukawa grimaces as his Mobtendo Switch makes a very obvious game over noise. 

Takenaka points a chocolate in Tome’s direction. “But it was original, wasn’t it?”

Shigeo’s smile widens a bit. He’s just glad his friends are all in one place. 

The door to the club room swings open again, and it seems the Body Improvement Club is finished with classes for the day as well. They’re all talking to each other about a new workout regime and tossing their bags to the side. Shigeo watches in slow motion as Onigawara’s bag slips from his hand and hits against Shigeo’s.

Specifically, it hits the front of Shigeo’s bag where the flowers are neatly tucked away.

Shigeo ignores Musashi’s greeting and bolts to his backpack. No, no, no. Surely not. Surely this isn’t happening to him-

He removes the bouquet from his bag, and a few wilted petals fall to the ground around his feet. All that’s really left are some twigs and leaves and the vague semblance of some color. 

“What’s that- Oh.” Onigawara pauses behind Shigeo. “Shit, was that important?” 

Takenaka wrinkles his nose and scratches the back of his neck a bit awkwardly. Tome exchanges a look with Inukawa that suggests it didn’t exactly take the telepath in the room to understand that yeah, it had meant a lot to Shigeo. 

“Kageyama-kun-” Musashi starts, holding out a hand as if to try and calm Shigeo.

“I have to go,” Shigeo blurts. He bows to Tome. “Thank you for the card.” And then he bows to Musashi. “I’ll-I’ll be back tomorrow.” 

With that, Shigeo bolts out the door before he can do something stupid… something like crying. His eyes feel uncomfortably hot, and his throat squeezes tight as he fights back tears. 

–

Teru is already waiting for him at the train station. His boyfriend is looking around, trying to find Shigeo in the swarm of people as one train dispels its passengers and allows more on. 

But Shigeo has had a bit of a growth spurt, so he stands out better than he may have used to. Teru’s eyes lock onto him at the same instant Shigeo notices him searching for him. His boyfriend’s neutral expression very quickly changes into a big grin. Teru pushes off from where he’s leaning against the wall and shoves through the crowd to get to Shigeo.

Shigeo feels so guilty the second Teru starts to approach him, but Teru also has a quality to him that soothes Shigeo like no one else can. As soon as Teru is in front of him, Shigeo wraps him into a hug.

“Oh!” Teru laughs, voice ringing gleefully even with the subtle roar of hundreds of people talking at once. “Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!” He hugs Shigeo back just as tight, tucking his face into his shoulder. Slowly, the horrible shame starts to melt. The warmth of Teru against his body is enough to seep away all the terrible feelings weighing down Shigeo’s conscience. 

They part after a moment. Teru still has his hands on Shigeo’s hips, and he’s beaming up at his boyfriend. Ah, he’s really cute, isn’t he? His school is strict on uniforms, but it seems Teru managed to rebel in his own little way with dangly heart earrings and pink hair clips. 

Teru reaches up and tucks a stray piece of hair behind Shigeo’s ear. “I know we said no gifts-” His hand moves to cup Shigeo’s cheek. “But I couldn’t help myself. I’m sorry!” 

Only Teru would apologize for getting a gift. Shigeo’s heart sinks. He’d been secretly hoping Teru really didn’t get him anything, but it seems that Tome’s secret language had been correct. Shigeo can only watch in half-masked disappointment as Teru rummages through his bag and produces a little gift bag, maybe a little bigger than his hand. Reluctantly, Shigeo takes it from him and peers inside. 

A keychain with a milk carton. Shigeo takes it out and lets it dangle from one finger. “It’s a little silly, I know,” Teru starts with a sheepish smile, “but it reminded me of you. I saw it whenever we went to that store that’s beside the churro store- you know the one? And I couldn’t help but-” He cuts himself off, smile dropping into a horrified expression. “Shige? Are you crying?”

Oh, when did that start? Now that Teru’s mentioned it, Shigeo can’t focus on anything but the hot tears falling from his cheeks. He drops his head in shame. “I-I tried to get you something too, but-but I…” Shigeo sniffles loudly. “It’s terrible.”

Teru ducks his head so he can see Shigeo’s face. “I know for a fact that nothing you could have gotten me is terrible,” he says, offering a reassuring smile. Shigeo only hiccups at that. Why is Teru so wonderful? His boyfriend nestles close to him, rubbing his arm. “Can I at least see for myself?”

Every fiber of Shigeo’s being screams at him not to show Teru, but… he can’t deny him anything. Teru’s his biggest weakness. So Shigeo reaches around to take out the sad, wilted bouquet from his backpack. It looks even worse than it did in the club room. Even the leaves are starting to fall off now. All that’s left are stems and maybe the leftover bud from one of the flowers and- man, Shigeo is crying again.

“I-I couldn’t- There weren’t-”

“They’re perfect,” Teru says.

Shigeo risks looking up at him. He expects… well, he wasn’t sure what he was expecting, but certainly not the pleased expression on Teru’s face. His boyfriend takes the sad bundle of stems in his own hands and looks up at Shigeo. 

“You thought of me when you got them,” Teru explains with a warm smile. “That’s what matters.”

The tears stop coming, but Shigeo can’t stop his lower lip from trembling. “Is it okay if I kiss you?” he asks softly.

Teru nods, and he stands on his toes to meet Shigeo halfway. Their lips brush together, and it’s like coming home. It’s taking your shoes off and flopping into bed. It’s submerging into a warm bath with a candle lit. It’s comfort. It’s home, Teru is home-

The stems in Teru’s hands tremble, and as if they were fireworks waiting to pop, they explode into an array of big, colorful flowers. Teru yelps in surprise and looks down in awe at the transformation happening right in front of them. The sad little arrangement is no more. Now it’s pinks and yellows and oranges and purples- roses and carnations and peonies and exactly what Shigeo had been looking for when he set his alarm extra early this morning to get Teru a bouquet. 

Teru grins down at the bouquet, then back up at his boyfriend. “You-”

“Thought of you,” Shigeo finishes.

Teru reaches up for a second kiss, a third, a fourth. The cracks in the sidewalk around them start to have wildflowers sprout up, the flower beds lining the pavement begin to spill over-

And they end up missing their train.

Top OC Round 2 Bonus Art!!!

I also went wild with writing a lil story for this one gwahhhh enjoy my cringe

(Originally posted with "Roses are Falling" by Orville Peck)

The world is spinning. Music is playing, petals are falling, and the sun has long set on the glimmering garden filled with dressed-up partygoers, not just from different walks of life, but from different worlds entirely. The spinning slows to a stop as Conk pulls his dancing partner aside, and they walk among the rose bushes. “You still haven’t explained where we are.” Ev hasn’t seen anything like this garden in his life. He’s never seen people like this. Hell, he’s never even left Caelum. Conk is gazing at the flowers. He doesn’t seem bothered by any of this. “Some fella named Lord Ascan’s garden.” “Conk th— that doesn’t explain anything. Who even is that?” “Honestly? I hardly know.” Conk takes his friend’s hand. “I just knew there’d be dancing and music, and I wanted you here with me.” “O-oh…” Conk touches his face. “This has been the most beautiful night of my life, my friend.” His goggles offer as dead an expression as ever, but his smile is a real one. Ev knows. He knows Conk’s smile better than anyone. Right now, it’s the only bit of familiarity he can grasp in a place that feels so alien. It’s all he can process, and it’s caught his breath. “Is this real?” “I don’t know.” Conk brings his face closer. Ev closes his eyes. “But it’s time for you to go home.”

Ev bolts upright. “AH! What the—” He’s back home. Doc’s special brand of clutter has seeped into his habits, and his tiny room in the back of her lab is an unmistakable sight. What time is it? He ventures outside his door in a confused haze, immediately finding Doc fiddling with something-or-other at her workbench. It’s all above his head, anyway. 
“Doc?” her head whips around. “Kiddo, you’re up! Feeling better?” Better? what’s she talking about? “Huh? What do you…?” Before he can finish, Doc marches up to him and feels his forehead. 
“You woke up with a fever yesterday. Seems like it’s cooled down, but you should still rest more.” Huh. It must be morning…? “Oh, yeah… uh… has Conk been around?” “Not in a few days. And not while you’re sick! Now get your sorry booty back in bed. I’ll getcha some tea.” “Okay, okay. Fine.” He looks around, tired eyes scanning the little lab. No one’s here, just him and Doc. Good. “Thanks… mom.” He turns away quick so he doesn’t have to see her reaction to that. “AW, KIDDO, DID YOU JUST—” slam. You gotta tread lightly on the cheesiness around Doc. She always overreacts. ALWAYS.

He trudges back to his tiny excuse for a bed and plops down. Clink. Clink? What was— his hand grazes something cold and metal. He picks it up. A silver chain? In an instant, The night he spent dancing floods back to him in its entirety. Not just a hazy dream, but… no, that’s silly. Of course it was a dream. There’s no other explanation. But the chain… he had definitely been wearing this in that garden. Right? He presses his knuckles to his forehead, as if to incite a single coherent thought. Comes up empty. The fever’s just getting to him.

He drops the chain onto one of many cluttered shelves with a solid plunk. A moment later, his head hits the pillow. Another moment later, the waking world fades away again.

“I don’t really know what to think anymore. Maxxx is a great guy but he’s so possessive that I just had to make a point, you know?”

“He kinda doesn’t really want to get the message, though...”

-“How about a little exxxtra spice 🔥🔥🔥??”

- “AND TRUST ME, I FRICKIN’ CRUSHED IT THIS MORNING, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MAXXX’S EYES! I’D BE SURPRISED IF SHE’S STILL ABLE TO WA-.”

- “Dude, I SO don’t want to hear about your d-game.” 

“I don’t trust either of them. One day Roz acts all morally superior just ‘cause I was close to crashing my UFO into this hoard of degenerates, and now he brags TO ME about stealing another guy’s girl. Or maybe going for April’s implant ass is his way of dealing with me turning down his hatefuck offer? Whatever complex this qualifies as.”

-”WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING??”

-”Keeping my eyes on your fake ass, literally and figuratively.”

-”Excuse me??? First, there’s nothing fake about daily pilates with Misty Waters. Second, not into girls and third, DON’T STALK ME WHILE YOU’RE TAKING A DUMP.”

“Actually, I just wanted to piss her off.”

-“Drop that hairy piece of filth and be with me, April! We look so much hotter together, plus you can be the no name bimbo breaking my heart in all my music videos once my career really takes off!”

-”Oooo when you put it that way...”

“Maxxx really does know how to charm a girl. Who knows, maybe we truly are meant to be together after all. I mean, if he didn’t care about me, he’d just be looking for another girl as we speak.”

-“Damn April, I gotta give it to you, you really are outdoing everyone in this house!”

-”Embarrassingly low bar, let’s all be honest - I mean, Watcher, I just wasn’t sure about what I wanted. :( ”

-”Pfft, not hard when she’s living with both douchebags.”

-”Jealous much, desert queen Isabella?”

-”I just have class and don’t take every available opportunity because I’m cheap. All that talk about me having dated over 25 football players are just cruel lies!”

-”I haven’t heard anyone talk about it on here besides you-”

-“ALL. THAT. TALK.”

- Um, well, speaking of looking cheap, where’s Angie?”

“Look, the last day really SUCKED for me and I’m just trying to distract myself from the fact the guy of my dreams chose some bimbo who immediately cheated on him over me.”

“Angie is coming into the living room and all of the sudden starts tickling me. Just like the girls during my bartending days, you haven’t spoken a word to me before, neither when I pulled out a BuzzFeed article from 2017 featuring SimNation’s top 50 worst pick-up lines, or when I asked her for a mint to get the taste of vomit out of my mouth yesterday. Just now when you’re lonely and desperate - I suddenly exist!”

-”Get your claws away from me you freak!”

-”Did YOU OUT OF EVERYONE just call me a freak??? And who put that horrid music on, sounds like 8th graders during band rehearsal after discovering MySpace.”

-”You mean my mixtape I’m aggressively dancing to??”

-”WHAT? NO MAXXX, NEVER!!!! YOUR MUSIC CANNOT BE DESCRIBED IN WORDS!!”

-”Cabs are here!”

“I’m meeting up with this girl I ran into at the club yesterday. I just knew the moment I saw her she was something special... reminds me, should ask for her name again.”

“So everyone is having a good time, we’re dancing, it’s great. And suddenly, out of nowhere...she kisses me.”

-“Oh baby, I couldn’t be more turned on by you than right now, in your sweat stained maxis tracksuit.”

-”Let’s take this somewhere more private, shall we? ;)”

“Maxxx and I need to figure out where we’re at. If we really are ready for a relationship together.”

-“April, I love you, but honestly I think only I deserve you, so I’m ready for this relationship thing if that means I won’t be seeing you near these out of your league morons ever again. It’s unbearably insulting to my looks and charm seeing what the guys you decided are my actual competition look like.”

-“Your face looks just like the Sector 6 aliens I would sometimes see on vacation at Sector 8, so grotesquely deformed I always used to wonder how their organs were even remotely working... say, what do you do for a living?”

“Maybe it was the amount of bubbles clouding her judgment or something, but as much as I can’t stand the girl, this was honestly sad to watch.”

-”Performing human experimentation. But my wife and I are certainly not opposed to extending our selection of interesting subjects.”

-”I mean, yeah, it doesn’t have to be a two-men show but that’s one weird metaphor.”

-“It’s official, these clownshows are dating now. But they’re gonna break up so fucking fast, trust me.”

-“I hate them so much.”

“Angie is my only friend in this house, so obviously I had to let her know about everything I just saw. So pathetic.”

-“Maxxx, can I maybe talk to you for a sec?”

-”Angie, look, you’re a nice girl and will surely find someone, but Maxxx doesn’t want anything from you.”

-”NOT THE THIRD PERSON THING AGAIN, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME??”

“It was going great, the girl and I relocated to the hot tub and then... suddenly I see everything flashing white! I just thought “Wow, must be the best woohoo I ever had.” ‘til I realize...”

“I almost died, would you think this chick even moved a muscle? She just sat there grinning, like she was enjoying it. So no idea if we’re dealing with an actual succubus or if she’s just got some crazy fetish.”

“And that’s not even the worst thing that happened.”

-“CRAP!”

-”Crap indeed.”

[fruit-salad-ship]

Ok ok ok: venom au, plum needs to sneak into somewhere really fancy really quick and doesn’t have time to go anywhere else first (maybe they’re chasing someone who decides to social stealth at a party, I don’t know brain go brrr), peach comes out and makes herself into an amazing (and probably slinky) dress, they get into the party fine, they’re looking around or whatever and peach gets bored and starts bothering plum 👀

Losing my mind over the hypotheticals here.

Nothing I could draw or write would be SFW at all, in any way.

So it’s a company do, it’s why she could get in, but having an alien living inside you is a bit new to her, as it would be to anyone, so she totally spaces about it. She turns up to sneak information off the company servers, but realises the party was that night, checks her now cracked phone and yep, Callander alert never went off. Of course. So without a disguise, she’s in tatty looking sweat pants and a hoody, not good enough she’d stand out like a sore thumb. Peach whispers in her ear that she’s got a plan to help her, and turns into this floor length met gala looking number, shoes and all, you’d assume it’s maybe silk or velvet, reflects the light like an oil slick and hugs in all the right places. Peach takes a glass and chews it up, forming some shiny looking jewellery to match, and voila, disguise. Plum fusses with her hair, and in they go, turning heads for sure. Plum looks a little crazy, she’s talking to herself under her breath to keep her companion in check, peach is looking at the other party goers like they’re actual snacks, she’s hungry and very soon bored while plum networks, she’s caught plenty of eyes, often known for the dowdy lab gear and simple outfits. Not usually a stand out sort.

During one of these conversations, peach decides to toy with her, literally. Poor plum can’t focus, has to excuse herself, ‘going to get a drink’ or so she says, trying to casually walk out until no one’s around, locking herself in a supply closet she sometimes goes and hides in while at work to stress eat sour candy. The conversation between the two gets angry, she’s trying to get to the labs, trying to get data to find out what she’s dealing with, ie. Peach. And hopefully how to get rid of her, and this nightmare symbiote is just making everything difficult, wildly entertained with the plaything she’s inhabiting currently. Starts small sure, a flick, a pinch, a squeeze, but damn does it escalate.

Poor plums left a panting shaking mess, unable to get back on her feet, peach takes over, gets them where they need to go, admittedly still toying with this fun little creature, giving her a chance too try and focus up enough to get whatever it was she came to the labs for, before escaping the party. Not before being cornered by a coworker of course, who’s obviously hitting on her, despite knowing she’s got grey at home. Peach asks if she can eat this one. She says no. So peach just pushes her further, forcing her to make a fool of herself in front of this random guy from work.

The “can you just keep it in your pants for ONE night?” Sentence from plum, and peach just laughs, it’s a loud echo in her head, “no. but I’ll keep it in yours.” Regrettable decision.

I am going to go draw some things… because. Reasons.

[carriagelamp]

The books I read while clinging to sanity by my fingertips. I didn't get enough read during either month to warrant their own posts, I was just too busy and way too stressed, so here's my November and December reads combined.

The Animal Rescue Agency: Cast File: Little Claws

I’ve been on an Eliot Schrefer kick, though so far I haven’t read anything that topped Queer Ducks for me. This was a very cute youth novel about the dashing Esquire Fox, who runs the Animal Rescue Agency, who are sworn to help any animal in need. In this first case, Esquire — and her fussy rooster friend, Mr Pepper — find themselves adventuring out into the arctic to rescue a baby polar bear from a sinister poacher.

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

I’ve seen this book celebrated but didn’t really know much about it. I bought it on a whim, wanting something cosy to read, and it delivered. It’s a collection of little passages that form a loose narrative, and is centred around being a positive, uplifting view of life. It occasionally feels a little trite, but ultimately if you’re willing to take it for what it is without being overly critical, it was a very charming experience. It has an old-fashioned Winnie-the-Pooh vibe, and the artistry of each page is lovely, so combining that with very gentle and loving affirmations it makes a nice book to sit under a blanket and read on a rainy day.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

My mom found her old, original copy of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang from when she was a kid, and since this was something I had been meaning to read for years I decided now was the time. You can definitely see Ian Fleming’s fingerprints all over it — who doesn’t love a cool, gadget-y, semi-sentient car in a battle against horrible mobsters? Add some explosions, a bit of flying, and a sweet shop theft, it really is a fun little adventure. Very different from the film, but both are good in their own unique ways.

A Christmas Carol

I love reading a Christmas novel in December but it was way too busy for me to do anything new or complex this year, so I decided to reread A Christmas Carol. You really can’t go wrong with it, Dicken’s turns of phrase and the way he portrays humanity is wonderful and it just pulls you right in. It’s such a quick, fun read that I really do recommend anyone who enjoys the films to give it a try — it’s not as intimidating as it might seem.

Failed Princesses v6

Finally, the last volume of the series! It was very overdramatic but in a quintessentially shoujo way. If you’ve ever wanted an almost cliche shoujo, but with lesbians, then this is the series for you. It starts with two very different girls — a prep and a nerd, essentially — finding themselves pushed together and slowly developing a friendship as they try to understand the other’s point of view and way of living life. As the series progresses, so do their feelings for one another.

Fortunately, the Milk

An absolutely hilarious novella about a father and his excuses for being a little late getting home from the shop with the milk his kids need for breakfast. Obviously it’s not because he got chatting with a friend, no, he was definitely dedicatedly on his way home, absolutely determined to save his children’s milk-less breakfast, only to be abducted by aliens… and it gets sillier from there. A very fast, very adorable read; it had me grinning the whole way through.

The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog

This was a series I remember loving as a kid but haven’t seen since. I stumbled across the first book again and decided to see if it stood up to what I remembered. In some ways it very much did! It’s about Hank, a cowdog who takes his job as Head Of Ranch Security very seriously… but unfortunately does have the intelligence of an average dog and more often than not gets himself into a lot of fuss and bother. It’s a fun mystery adventure, written to mimic a jaded private eye and the humour that a child might miss comes through for any adults reading it. Unfortunately, they’re portrayal of First Nations oh, sorry, I mean coyotes, is seriously very, very uncomfy. Like, deeply racist. So… probably wouldn’t recommend, leave it as a childhood memory.

Nintendo Adventure Books: Leaping Lizards

My brother has an old copy of a Nintendo choose your own adventure book so we decided to sit down and play it over the holidays. Written in the Super Mario Bros 3 era, this book is just completely buckwild, and the results of your choices are completely bizarre. Did it make sense? No. Was it well written? Also no. Did we laugh a lot while reading it though? Yes, it was a blast.

Orphaned

More Eliot Schrefer. This story is about a young gorilla named Snub, who lived back in prehistoric Africa and had never seen a human before… until catastrophe strikes and she finds herself separated from her family and forced to care for her little brother as these strange human creatures stalk the trees. But when Snub sees the humans violently cast out one of their own, she has a challenging decision to make. Schrefer really seems to know what he’s talking about when it comes to animals, and I like how this book is handled. It’s not a “talking animal” book, and he does a great job of portraying the world as a young gorilla like Snub might perceive it.

My Father’s Dragon

It’s been turned into a Netflix film, so of course I had to go find the book before watching the movie. The book was charming, and had that very classic 1940s kidlit vibe. Did not bother explaining any of the weirdness, just a had a fun time taking you on an adventure to Wild Island, where the narrator’s father sets about with only his cunning and a strange mishmash of supplies to try to rescue a young dragon who had been enslaved by the other animals.

Prince of Song & Sea

I was hesitant about this book — I was never a huge Little Mermaid fan and every Disney prequel, sequel, triquel is wearing on me — but I’m pretty much willing to follow Linsey Miller wherever she intends to go. And I was pleased that I did. This book focuses on the story of Disney’s Little Mermaid as told from Prince Eric’s point of view, but with a bunch of new world building and twists built into it. In this version, Ursula is a much more pervasive and threatening force, and Eric has to figure out how to protect his little kingdom from encroaching threats, fend off the increasing pirate threat, and deal with his own curse that is related to his mother’s early death. Honestly, my main complaint is that it is inherently Disney. The weakest parts of the book came from Miller’s interesting characters and lore bump up against the “pre-rendered” Disney scenes — they didn’t always mesh that well and it left me floundering occasionally. Honestly, it made me wish this was just a pure re-imagining without the movie baggage at all. But! I can’t fault anyone from getting that ~*Sweet Disney Money*~ and I honestly don’t think anyone could have handled this better. I enjoyed reading it.

The Hound of the Baskervilles // The Return of Sherlock Holmes

Well, my last month has been, in a world, hell. So we’ve returned to the ultimate comfort media: Sherlock Holmes. I reread Hound and The Return of Sherlock Holmes and I’ll probably be continuing with this into the New Year because my personal hell doesn’t look like it’s gonna let up any time soon.

Turn Left Ch 12- Man, This Isn't a Toaster! I Threw It On the GROUND!

(yeah I'm sorry for the chapter title I had the lonely island stuck in my head for some reason when I was writing this one)

Garrus puts two and two together.

(or, start from the beginning here)

lil text blurb:

“Vakarian?” Elyria said through his earpiece, clearly confused. “What’s going on?” 

“Where’s Shepard right now?” He tried his very best to make his voice seem even and calm, but he knew the panic was leeching through. He always tended to think of the worst case scenarios. His mom liked to tell him that his imagination was too active for anyone’s good. Garrus liked to call himself a realist. 

“She has Mondays off.” 

“Fuck me.” 

“Excuse me?” 

“Sorry,” Garrus said quickly. He looked around at the street, the people just going about their days. He was acutely aware of what Nihlus told him about watching his back for tails. He walked as quickly as he could to the nearest elevator, his head down. “Where do you think she would be right now?” 

“In her apartment? At least that’s what I would assume. Listen, is everything okay?” Elyria asked. “You sound… frantic.” 

“Yes. I mean, maybe. I mean… probably,” Garrus sputtered as the elevator doors closed him in. He felt as though he could breathe properly again, if it was only for a few seconds. “Look, can you just tell me where she lives?” 

Elyria took a pause. Garrus didn’t know her very well. He’d interacted with her from time to time in some cases. From when he went to visit Shepard at her desk, she seemed nice enough. Reserved. Pragmatic. Right now, Garrus didn’t need pragmatism. He needed action. 

“Yeah, sure,” she said, finally. “She lives on level 19 of Zakera. I can send you her address.” 

“Thank you.” 

“Is this about her stupid mole?” The doors of the elevator opened. Garrus stuck behind for just a moment, not wanting to be back out in the open. “Because believe me, Del doesn’t need to be involved in all of this.” 

“Elyria--” 

“I’m serious, Vakarian,” Elyria continued. “Shepard means well. She really does. But she doesn’t know how to do anything casually. I mean that. If she gets sucked into this thing, I’m not sure she’s coming out on the other end.” 

“Believe me,” said Garrus softly. “I’m aware.”

MUST WATCH: Lisa McClain Goes Head To Head With Witness: ‘You Have No Facts!’

Lisa McClain Goes Head To Head With Witness: ‘You Have No Facts!’

https://youtu.be/r4w90P4-iZg

Jokes aside, it’s how he came at her just to be contrary, that “Actually” attitude with no facts or argument, just contrary to be contrary, zero respect- Is issue #1 with his detraction.

He’s not even honest enough to address the figures as she stated them, no he’s just here to insinuate she’s a liar on national television when she has the numbers in her friggin hands.

No credence, no good will, nothing. Just a wise-guy. It’s not even him disagreeing, it’s the lack of honesty and respect here.

The figures are MORE than half of half, you don’t even try to address that before trying to rationalize with excuses.

Someone like this is proof the destabilization is working & accepted to some people, that’s the scary part.

Someone with her kind of drive to give a hoot, and fire to shut down bullshit is someone who should be President.

But that goes against the narrative/ it goes against the agenda doesn’t it? We can’t have this lady (or anyone sane) raising hell & weeding out the corruption as President.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g3e_kqTlZE&ab_channel=WolvesAndFinance

We need to make sure we sabotage the U.S, their dollar, their birthrates, their culture, their youth, their workface, their backbone etc.

Divert revenue by raising taxes/ redirect profitability elsewhere, collapse the social stability, turn people against each other, disconnect the sex, prioritize hedonism over humanity: So the last thing we need is someone in Office that will fix the problems that we want to happen to establish Idon’t know… a United Global Gov. ?

If the United States is going strong, if the people are taken care of, birthrates up, profits up, workforce/stock market are healthy, competent healthcare, Vets taken care of. We laughed in the face of woke culture & prevented American culture from becoming a Global joke, and Americans are god forbid: HAPPY?

Logically, if a modern day (could’ve been) Empire is actually doing well- Then we can’t justify the need for a One World, New World Order, now can we?

Get rid of the competition, plant rotten seeds in the soil, bring the whole damn tree down.

Destroy the family. Redefine normal. Push alternative lifestyles that no Country or Nation could thrive on in it’s early stages of Civilization SO WHY tf do you think is a good idea to push it now. Tax raises, Erratic Gov. Spending. Misandry, corrupting women, castrating the male, shame the male/smother him in fantasy & eternal escapism (peter pan syndrome), smother the female in entitlement and narcissist delusion. Disconnect.

Backdoor corrupt dealings with a certain nation in the East. Inviting Illegal Aliens to disrespect both our borders, our women, Americans Tax dollars/thus the American people, and the Immigrants doing the process the right way.

Sabotage. Destabilize. Fall. Engineering Collapse.

[fluffypotatey]

gonna go a little more into bigb bc i feel like i didn’t represent him super well in my nosy neighbors 101

the most evident things about bigb is that he’s very Just Some Guy. he’s like. a nice chill friendly casual guy

but the thing is that he doesn’t know most of the other players too well, and he’s kind of shy.

hes like the guy who you hang out with and see as a friend and then 2 years into the friendship you realize you don’t actually know a single thing about him. and all the while he’s like ^-^

he is also undeniably a Little Shit. he LOVES messing with and confusing ppl

and the thing about bigb is that he doesn’t really trust people.

in Third Life, he made a day 1 alliance with Martyn and Grian. he was still pretty private, spending most of his time mining underground, but he’d hang out with martyn, because both of them were holding to that alliance. grian, however, ended up in a life debt to scar. martyn and bigb were both planning to free grian from this life debt, especially when scar turned red and grian still had to work for him

or at least, planning right up until bigb decided to go out and socialize for once, and at that same time grian gleefully used scar as an excuse to set off a TNT trap that killed three people (using bigb as a distraction to do it!) and martyn and bigb realized that their day 1 alliance had never meant anything to grian at all.

then, at the end of third life, Grian, Scar, and BDubs were hunting bigb together (they were the final 4 standing). earlier in the season, bigb had purchased a No Kill Pass from scar, which scar had promised to honor. and he did! scar never laid a hand on bigb as he told bdubs to kill him- after all, the no kill pass only meant SCAR wouldn’t kill him.

lesson learned: never trust anyone, and loyalty kills

in last life smp, bigb had a pretty good thing going with Cleo, Rendog, and Lizzie- until he was chosen to be Boogeyman. after hours of trying to secretively kill someone else, bigb was getting nervous, and in a panic killed cleo (his closest ally) in cold blood. (she would’ve been willing to let him kill her, if he had told her he was the boogeyman, and if he had asked first. but he hadn’t asked, he waited too long and then he took when there was no time left to ask)

cleo took offense.

she then spent the entire rest of the season hunting down bigb (and lizzie and ren, who had sided with bigb over cleo), with his death essentially being her entire goal for that season.

even now, over 2 years later, cleo still brings it up every now and again, and in limited life warned pearl against trusting bigb as an ally (pearl also asked and checked with him to make sure he wouldn’t go for her as the boogeyman, even though she was his closest ally)

lesson learned: Definitely never trust anyone- all it takes is one mistake to turn your closest ally into a relentless, merciless enemy. not worth it

(he then proceeds to alienate potential/current alliances and hold his close alliances at arm’s length forever and ever.) (except for pearl, who he’d played with before and knew, and who he had a stable and relatively healthy relationship with for the whole series!)

omg he's like me fr

[ilovereading5252]

All right buckle up this is going to be a very long post

So like I was meaning to say: the (more or less) alive part of the Addams Family are mostly other kinds of undead and cryptics, but the dead part is definitely a significant part of the ghost zone. Like maybe even more than one percent. (considering it is the afterlife of the whole multiverse and called literally the infinitive realms 1% is a lot of people)

Especially since no Addams would see any reason to stop marrying or having kids just because they are supposedly dead now.

(I don’t think “Until death do us part” features in an Addams Wedding Vows. Even if, it would just be an excuse to renew them in grand style.)

Considering the usual tastes of an typical Addams (if such a thing exits) I suspect a significant part of the demon population is married/related to an Addams.

You can usually find at least one Addams adjacent person in every mayor haunt/city/cluster of beings.

The living parts of the clan have spread over multiple dimension. With actually very little help from their dead relatives. Usually they just take a wrong turn somewhere where there is a weak spot between dimensions and decide they like the new one.

Since every Addams learns the traditional “phone home” spell as a child it is usually easy to stay in touch.

Now what about the Fentons?!

Well they are definitely somehow related to a branch of the family. Possibly a mad scientist branch. Possibly on both sides.

The question is: Do they know that?

And if the answer is yes, are they still in contact with the rest of the clan?

My personal head canon is that Maddie with her martial arts training and killer instincts was raised the more typical Addams way. Her family came to this dimension some generations back and somehow lost a lot of knowledge both about their ancestry and about magic.

Maybe the rules are different in this dimension and magic doesn’t work like normal.

Jack (who’s personality reminds me a lot of Gomez so maybe they could be brothers) is one of the few true Lost Children of the Addams. As a toddler he took a wrong turn and fell into a new dimension. Because of the magic thing the usual tracking charms didn’t work. He got adopted by a very nice couple and had a happy childhood. The problem is it was a regular normal nice couple and a regular normal happy childhood, something that is not normal at all for an Addams. But considering everything his unusual upbringing seems to have not left any marks. He is maybe a bit weird by Addams standards but isn’t anyone.

(His bio parents are totally still looking for him.)

Jack and Maddie met at college and instantly clicked. Vlad never actually had a chance. The fact that a typical Addams courtship is very different from normal dating is the only reason nobody figured out they were basically married already. The moment they designed their first weapon of mass destruction together the only way Vlad could have managed to get Maddie’s attention would be courting both of them with explosives or deadly poisons.

Sadly he took someone else advice and tried flowers.

After the accident J&M actually stayed around for a while. But because their idea of get well gifts is rather unusual they were kindly asked to leave or the police would be called.

Vlad doesn’t remember that. He just remembers a nurse ranting about the nerve of some people trying to to get at unusual patients to proof their delusions about alien abductions or something. This does not help his mental state.

A few years later, Jazz and Danny actually experience an rather normal Addams childhood. Which is somewhat different from a normal childhood.

Jazz and Danny have a very happy childhood doing ghost hunts instead of treasure hunts at birthdays visiting relatives and getting to stay at their grandparents big farm when J&M have to do adults stuff. The family is big enough that even if their parents have to travel or work someone can always watch the kids. (When they aren’t just letting them stay in the lab)

After a few years J&M earned enough money and got enough patients that they can fund their own research.

This means they decide to move to amity park.

To be continued…

Danny phantom promt

Danny Phantom x Addams Family

So I was scrolling through @hdgnjs account and one of posts, about Danny being Batmans and Two Faces kid said something about Danny and Ellie eating poison Addams Family style.

And I got thinking about it.

The Addams totally fit the whole ghost thing. Sure they are probably mostly other forms of undead (at least the parts of the clan technically still alive).

The easiest way for a crossover would be a random portal in the ghost zone to the Addams dimension.

But that’s boring, we can do better! (Especially since there is no way the Addams stay in only one dimension)

We could have them as dimensional travelers, just casually using the zone to visit friends for tea a few dimensions over.

We could have the dead parts of the Addams Clan (including marriage and adoption, bevor and after they left their bodies mostly behind) as an significant part of the gz population.

And most importantly we can totally make the Fenton/Nightingale family part of the Addams clan!

Guess who accidentally touched the wrong button?
