Airplaneeee! + Extra Art!

[charlieslowartsies]

FINISHED MY TOOTHLESS PLUSH!!

Materials, info and some comments under the RM!

Toothless' Pattern I purchased

Materials: 6 yards of black minky 1 yard red minky 5 yards of Poly-Fil extra loft medium quilt batting 18 oz of poly pellets (4 oz in each foot) 2 Mainstay firm bed pillows for stuffing 1 spool of purple thread for the top stitching details on his tail, hip and main wings 2.5 spools of black thread Dark green, lime green, goldenrod and light yellow embroidery floss black acrylic paint white fabric paint Velcro one very old, small and cranky sewing machine who somehow survived this ordeal several comfort shows, podcasts, and music to listen to

This was my winter break project! Granted I started bits and pieces of the process in early December, but once my two weeks off hit he really started getting worked on lol.

I know it's hard to tell from photos, but he is A BIG CHONGUS. Toothless is 5.5 feet from head to tail tip, and has a 9 foot wingspan. He weighs about 8 lbs.

He took about 60ish hours and was very complex. My budget was $200 and he came in at $202! That includes things like the bulldog clips that I bought when he was being pinned because the minky was so slippery! This cost EXcludes a sewing machine, or things like an embroidery ring which my mom had, so I was very lucky in several areas—but he still was not cheap, either by expense or by time and sweat/tears!

Of course, the minky was by far the most of the cost, coming in at $122. I’d say the batting would be next, but I waited and snagged a good deal at my local craft store and got the batting for $18. I HIGHLY recommend buying bed pillows. The original maker of the pattern used IKEA pillows I believe.

I increased his size by 20%, so I printed him at 120% and guesstimated on the minky amount. My WORST mistake was forgetting to mirror the WINGS, which meant I had to recut two of the four pieces of fabric. (I should have marked it on the pattern, which I did mark well for things like number count.) Had I not done this, I would have used a lot less minky. I bought 7 yards and only needed 5.5 before my error.

(Now I’ve got scraps and a whole yard left sitting there whispering that it wants to be made into a Krobus plushie…who seems much less of a hurdle than Toothless.)

I stuffed Toothy’s hip fins and tail fins with one layer of quilt batting. His wings however, are double layered with the batting for extra plush, warmth, and durability. His eyes are hand embroidered (my first time!) but stitched on with the machine. Toothless has poly pellets in his feet to help support his bulk, but most of his weight is in his body, hips and start of his tail so he actually sits up really well.

He was a huge labor of love for sure! The pattern was great, the instructions were…less great. But my mom helped me figure out a lot of the troubling bits. Some parts were easy to follow and others were basically "bing bong fuck ya life." Despite that, I do suggest this pattern. But this is definitely an intermediate or advanced pattern. They also sell the eyes for those that have access to an embroidery machine.

I followed the pattern closely as I desired. I did omit the back spikes on his rear legs, and I couldn’t embroider his lil nose by hand ^^; I also did not make his blue alpha fins because of expense and mistrust in my own skills...also, I kinda wanted HTTYD1 Toothless haha. I love the series as a whole but the og movie is literally one of the reasons I went to college, and it went into my thesis as well.

I want to remake his prosthetic at some point when I have time and energy, but for now I’m pleased with 99% of him, especially since this is my first plushie I’ve ever made. I do not regret any of my personal changes and I’m totally in love with him.

Thoughts on Inside Out 2

Also known as Pixar Showing Off Their CGI Again

Pretty sick how you can see multi-color memories in the first scene as a follow-up to the end of the first movie where they discover that memories can be associated with multiple emotions.

It only took a few seconds in the pit for me to remember that Bing Bong is fucking gone.

"I'm Brie." "I'm Grace." "I'm gay." "You're purple." -Me, too quietly for anyone to hear (in case you can't tell, I still think about IF sometimes)

Maybe adding a "We're Blasting Off Again" chute wasn't the best idea.

In the scene right before they pull into the high school parking lot, you can already see orange buttons on the console.

The shot of Joy being like "There's nothing to worry about" while there's literally a wrecking ball in the window should be a meme.

It's very fitting that they made Anxiety just a creature.

Embarrassment might be big, but he's just a lil guy.

Then there's Envy, who actually is little but not in a cute way. More like an Aquamarine from Steven Universe way. In fact, she might just be Aquamarine.

Le Console App

They have an old lady living in the closet.

Biggest jumpscare of 2024: 2D animation in a Pixar movie.

Second biggest jumpscare of 2024: PlayStation graphics in a Pixar movie.

Anger just said, "FUCK DA POLICE."

I wanted Sadness to show up in headquarters and say "Surprise, motherfucker."

I was the first person to laugh at the Sar-chasm, and then everyone else started laughing. I feel like that happened multiple times, actually.

After Anger called Joy delusional, I fully expected her to say "what the fuck did you just say to me?"

Let Joy say fuck.

How self-aware of Disney to include a scene in an animation sweatshop.

I was wondering how they were going to top Riley running away in the first movie. Turns out the answer is breaking and entering.

Why does a fanny pack from a preschool kids' show have that much dynamite in it?

Anxiety? Did you mean Sonic the Hedgehog?

So what I'm getting is that the moral of the story is I Am All of Me.

You wanna talk anxiety? Let's make Inside Out 3 about Riley getting her driver's license.

Overall, 9/10 movie. Pouchy <<<<< Toodles

[and-then-there-were-n0ne]

During my conversation with Richard Hanania about the 2019 Academy Award-winning film Parasite, I talked about how viewers and critics were quick to assume that Parasite was about a rich family and a poor family.

It shows how little people know about class.

This is how the director of the movie, Bong Joon Ho, characterized the Kim family:

“The father has accumulated numerous business failures, the mother who trained as an athlete has never found particular success, and the son and daughter have failed the university entrance exam on multiple occasions.”

This is not the profile of a poor or working class family. The Kims are not poor, they are failed middle class.

This is why, in an early scene in the movie, they were so bad at folding those pizza boxes.

In high school, I worked at an Italian restaurant as a busboy and dishwasher.

In his terrific memoir on slum tourism, Down and Out in Paris and London, George Orwell uses the French term plongeur—a person employed to wash dishes and carry out other menial tasks in a restaurant or hotel—to describe his occupation as he was struggling in Paris.

Plongeur sounds much better than “bus boy.”

Anyway, my coworkers in the pizza station were, like the rest of us in the back of the restaurant, guys from fucked up families. They drove beat-up motorcycles and had long hair and tattoos, or were stoners or community college dropouts whose highlight of the week was getting paid on Friday and drinking away the weekend.

The girls mostly worked as servers, and were generally more put together. Though there was plenty of binge drinking and drug use among them as well. Many restaurants function like this, with sweaty guys in the back cooking food and scrubbing pans and the cheerful women up front, serving food and interacting with patrons.

Guys I worked with could fold a pizza box with their eyes closed while stoned out of their minds.

So the Parasite scene didn’t make sense to me at first, until I realized what I was seeing.

Working class people would figure out how to fold pizza boxes and do it fine. Bitter middle class people think they’re too good for it.

The Kims middle class origins also explains why they were able to seamlessly interact with the well-to-do Park family (more on them soon).

Skeptical viewers have questioned why the Kim son had a friend who studied in a university. And why the Kim son was able to teach English to the Park daughter so well despite his poor background.

And astute critics have wondered how it’s possible that the Kim daughter who is obviously adept at graphic design (forging her art credentials) and interacts easily with the Parks came from a poor family.

The Kim son and daughter were raised by middle class parents, that’s why.

The Kim family represents a great fear of affluent people, including film critics: Downward mobility.

The Kims are middle class people who slipped down the economic ladder. The Parks are middle class people who ascended the economic ladder.

The Park mother is easily duped by the Kim daughter’s discussions of art and its therapeutic powers. This is because the Park mother is a philistine who doesn’t actually know that much about art. She’s not from some well-bred old money family. She and her husband have only recently arrived at their current economic station.

Parasite is not about entrenched class divisions. It’s not about a poor family and a rich family. It’s about a downwardly mobile middle class family and an upwardly mobile one.

Which is why resentment builds and explodes into violence. Envy is reserved for those who are similar to ourselves.

Working class people are generally not envious of the very rich. Nobody I knew growing up hated Bill Gates or Hollywood celebrities. They mostly envied well off people in town. People who had big houses or had a boat docked at the Shasta Marina.

Who envies the actual rich? Upper middle class people.

People tend to envy and resent those close to their social strata.

In his fascinating book Envy: a theory of social behaviour, the sociologist Helmut Schoeck wrote:

“The best means of protection against the envy of a neighbor is to drive a Rolls-Royce instead of a car only slightly better than his...overwhelming and astounding inequality arouses far less envy than minimal inequality.”

There are a couple of reasons for why resentment and envy are strongest for those nearest to us.

First, there's proximity.

Working class people work for, and take orders from, upper middle class professionals. This (sort of) describes the relationship between the Kims and the Parks in Parasite.

But upper middle class professionals work for, and report to, the very rich. We never see the father of the Park family at his job, interacting with much wealthier colleagues.

The second reason people reserve scorn for those close to our social strata is that they remind them of their failings.

When people have expectations for their lives that are not met, but they see others similar to themselves achieve the same things they desire, they experience resentment and anger.

This is why people feel the most schadenfreude, joy from seeing others’ misfortune, when the person experiencing the misfortune is similar to themselves.

Other research has revealed that similarity and domain relevance are key predictors of malicious envy.

This means that a person who is similar to ourselves and who is successful in a field we also aspire to do well in is especially likely to trigger feelings of resentment and a desire to take destructive action to sabotage them.

This is why critics and the chattering classes loved Parasite. The film allowed them to identify with resentful middle class people who are down on their luck, under the guise of sympathizing with the poor.

Parasite allowed identification with resentment and envy to masquerade as compassion.

More Inside Out lore, found on tvtropes !!!

Disgust originally had a purple dress, and a slightly longer hair style. It's unknown why this was changed, although it's probably so that each character has their own individual color scheme. A maquette of her displayed at the former Disney Art of Animation exhibit showed one potential design would have had really long hair.

In an early draft, Fear (originally called Freddie) was supposed to be Joy's sidekick, not Sadness. One of the reasons this was changed was because it made more sense for Anger, Fear, and Disgust to exist during Riley's culture shocks, another was that the writing team couldn't get much mileage out of the idea aside from a few jokes. A third was to remove the idea of shipping between Joy and Fear—not that that hasn't stopped Starnerve from being one of the most popular ships in the fandom.

One of those particular Joy-Fear drafts involved Riley getting knocked unconscious in the woods and the movie mostly taking place in her head. Bill Hader protested that worrying about Riley would really distract from the journey.

The film's original plot involved Joy trying desperately to keep Riley from growing up by clinging to her childhood. Joy and Fear's journey involved them chasing after a childhood memory. According to Pete Docter, this version of Joy was too aggressive and the staff feared audiences would find her off-putting.

Two characters named Logic and Reason were removed in order to give Riley more free will.

There was going to be a sixth emotion, Surprise, matching more closely with the Ekman classification model Pixar was following, but they decided that was too close to Fear.

There was originally going to be an emotion named Pride, but Disgust ended up taking his place. There was also an emotion named Hope, who ended up mostly merged with Sadness.

Joy was going to be named Optimism, until Pete Docter discovered that optimism is not an emotion.

A few other plot lines for Riley were considered, including her wanting to be the turkey in a Thanksgiving play, and her trying to decide which kind of chips to bring to a party (to show how small things could be a big deal inside her head).

Originally, the film only planned to have Joy with the particle effect, only for it to prove expensive and time-consuming. They decided to scrap it. Then John Lasseter saw it and went "Great! Do it for all of them".

Production designer Ralph Eggleston: You could hear the core technical staff just hitting the ground, the budget falling through the roof. But it was all good. They found a way to make it work.

There was originally going to be more imaginary friends aside from Bing Bong, such as Mrs. Scribbles, a crayon drawing, who helped with the Train of Thought railway system, and a half-Sun that was created from Riley only scribbling half a Sun on the side of a notebook page.

There was originally a Stream of Consciousness beneath the Subconscious area. This concept made it into the Expanded Universe picture book The Bing Bong Book, in which it flows through Imagination Land instead.

There originally was an antagonistic force/character known as "Gloom". However, it ended up being too close to depression for comfort, and Docter didn't want to demean real depression sufferers by having their condition be defeated at the end of the movie, since real depression never just goes away like that. Gloom was therefore cut to avoid Unfortunate Implications, and his role as the personification of Riley's mental breakdown was taken by a literal breakdown, with Riley's personality islands crashing down into the memory dump whenever Riley does something directly counter to the island's intent (not responding to her father's attempts at lightening the mood kills Goofball Island, performing badly and rage-quitting at hockey practice is what does Hockey Island in, Friendship Island crumbles when she finds out Meg has a new friend, stealing her mom's credit card breaks Honesty Island, and Family Island slowly crumbles as she becomes more distant from her parents, culminating in her running away from home).

The earliest concepts started with Riley waking up in Headquarters itself and meeting her emotions, and another concept where Joy served as an entity that hung around Riley's shoulder. The author of the fanfic "Intercom" took the first idea and ran with it.

Sadness was originally going to have a more monstrous and furry appearance (most early Concept Art has her looking similar to a large blue mattress), but was changed to a more human design to make her more sympathetic and non-threatening for audiences. Additionally, the character was initially going to be more demonstrative and constantly wailing, but they decided that would not only get old quick, but that sadness was better displayed with a more somber, dialed-down characterization a la The Eeyore. She was also originally sketched as wearing pajamas (the idea being that sad people often don't feel like changing), which eventually evolved into the sweater she wears in the final product.

They were originally going to have 27 emotions in all, but reverted to five to make it less complicated.

There was going to be a Music Island, though that found its way into the Disney Infinity game.

Although it's a rather moot point in the final product, Bing Bong's first appearance involves him hoarding memory orbs into his sack. Animator Matt Jones shows some old concepts which clarified that Bing Bong was addicted to collecting memory orbs with him playing with Riley and he eventually came upon the memory where he was relinquished from her childhood. There was also a scrapped scene in that draft where he utters a curse word.

Riley's mind went through a lot of different variations. One sketch depicted it as a fantastic city.

The next film in Pixar's roster was meant to be Newt. However, due to problems in pre-production (i.e., Rio beat them to it by a longshot), the project was handed to Pete Docter, who instead decided to pitch a completely new idea.

An early Concept Art has the emotions literally plugged into Riley's mind as they monitored Riley's physical state.

Joy and Bing Bong were also going to disguise themselves at some points.

The crew went through a lot of ideas about what Riley's conflict would be over. One of the ideas was whether or not to buy lime flavored chips.

Disgust went through a lot of different designs, mostly because the staff couldn't figure out whether she was supposed to be disgusted or disgusting.

At one point, Riley's growing up was represented by new construction occurring, and Bing Bong was some kind of Well-Intentioned Extremist displeased with the construction being at the expense of other areas (we see remains of that with the demolition crews in Imagination Land) and attempting to sabotage it.

Bing Bong's dog-like ears originally came from an early concept of Bing Bong that was part chicken, dog, and pig, but mostly elephant.

In the original draft of the film, the slow deterioration of Family Island did not lead to Joy and Bing Bong falling in. According to The Art Of Inside Out, Goofball Island's collapse was supposed to lead to them falling down. The line "See you after school, monkey! We love you!" appears to be an artifact of this idea. Also in the same draft, Riley slamming the door after being told to go to her room led to the collapse of the bridge to Headquarters, not the fall of Goofball Island.

Justin Bieber was going to have a cameo in the film.

The Pixar team originally had Hayley Mills in mind for the role of Joy. Mills also played the trope namer for The Pollyanna, a character known for her relentless optimism.

Bing Bong was planned to walk on his hands and hind legs to travel rather than standing in one of the later concepts.

Bing Bong was originally an angry, gruff-voiced, violent anarchist. This Bing Bong was actively rebelling against any signs that Riley was growing up. In one deleted scene, he spies some construction workers expanding Riley's mind and immediately starts chucking bricks at them. According to director Pete Docter, the idea was that Bing Bong used violence to make sure Riley didn't grow up, all "for his own self-benefit."

7, 10, 13, 22, 25

making this about two fandoms! fuck yer life! bing bong!

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

hm... I don't really hate any kirby characters for that reason but prince fluff is starting to get on my nerves. the literal only content of him I see is shipping. (on that note, I really don't like kirby being shipped in general. I Do Not Vibe With That Sir)

I don't hate a single undertale character for that reason. my favourite is actually so sorry and all the unwarranted hate he receives (including from the game itself...) only makes me love them more. it deserves way better than this man

10. worst part of fanon

krbay being seen as part of the same universe as the games. It's Not. I don't mind aus that mix krbay and the games (while some are mid, some are really good) but if I see one more person insist that game kirby is an evil baby I will bonk and flatten them with a big stick

definitely how characters keep getting misgendered, especially the less popular characters like napstablook, monster kid, etc. this happens with so many deltarune characters too and it's infuriating

13. worst blorboficiation

meta knight and dedede. I'm constantly spinning meta knight around in my brain like a microwave but he's not the uwu soft dad everyone thinks he is

PAPYRUS. I don't even need to say why

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

I'd say it's the fact that the new world is only inhabited by animals yet everyone thinks humans once lived there despite it not even being implied.

papyrus being able to break the laws of physics like it's natural

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

"orb ocs are repetitive/overused/boring/etc" there's nothing wrong with orb ocs shut your fuck up

"why is mettaton Like That" he's canonically transmasc and gnc. cry about it.

==============================================

[321spongebolt]

While “Big Hero 6” is a Marvel property, it’s very surprising how “Big Hero 6” was never featured in “Lego Marvel Avengers” and “Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2”. So with that said, I feel like Traveller’s Tales should develop a spin-off for the “Lego Marvel Superheroes” games, two to be exact, but for now, let’s focus on just one.

With “Lego Marvel Big Hero 6”, they should tell an original story taking place after either “Big Hero 6: The Series” or the Disney+ show, “Baymax!”. Either way, you would play through the whole story as Hiro, Baymax, Gogo, Honey Lemon, Wasabi, and Fred. There can also be a level based on the 2014 MCU-animated movie if you wanted. And just like with “Lego The Incredibles”, there can be Pixar and Marvel builds that could unlock new characters and red bricks.

This also includes characters who were cut from “Lego The Incredibles” for unknown reasons like Chicken Little (“Chicken Little”), Wilbur Robinson (“Meet the Robinsons”), Bolt (“Bolt”), Wreck-it Ralph (“Wreck-it Ralph”), Dusty Crophopper (“Planes”), and Judy Hopps (“Zootopia”). Additional Pixar builds that would feature characters from “Onward” to whatever the latest Pixar movie would be if this were made. The only characters who will not be used are Valiant (“Valiant”), Sampson (“The Wild”), Yankee Irving (“Everyone’s Hero”), and Mambo (“Happily N’Ever After”), due to how terribly their movies have been received, and for how useless they’d be if they were in this game.

In terms of Marvel builds, I would use Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Wolverine, Mr. Fantastic, Doctor Strange, and Star-Lord in their MCU designs, with Deadpool as he was presented in “Lego Marvel Super Heroes”. And like all Lego Marvel games, the late great Stan Lee will once again be a citizen in peril (only, he’s Fred’s dad, Mr. Fredrickson this time, but his archive recordings will still be used). By rescuing him in levels and in the San Fransokyo hub world, you’ll be able to unlock Stan Lee as a playable characters. Like past Lego games, Stan Lee can web-swing, he has spider-sense, he has heat vision, he has health regeneration, he has super-speed, he can transform into Hulk Stan, and he can use his Marvel shield to activate shield switches. For “Lego Marvel Big Hero 6”, he can turn into Boss Awesome, just like how in “Lego Marvel Avengers”, Stan can turn into Iron Stan and Stanbuster.

In levels, there can be character tokens you can unlock in Free Play mode (or Story Mode, depending on which characters can do certain objectives). Returning from “Lego The Incredibles” are Woody (“Toy Story”), Flik (“A Bug’s Life”), Sulley (“Monsters Inc.”), Dory (“Finding Nemo”), Mr. Incredible (“The Incredibles”), Lightning McQueen (“Cars”), Linguini (“Ratatouille”), WALL-E (“WALL-E”), Russell (“Up”), Merida (“Brave”), Bing-Bong (“Inside Out”), Spot (“The Good Dinosaur”), and Miguel (“Coco”).

In terms of the character creator, I would want it to be more like “Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2” as opposed to how “Lego The Incredibles” depicted the character creator. The character creator can be used for either Hiro’s workshop, or his lab room at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, depending on what works better.

I can’t think of anything else, but surely you’ll get the idea of where I’m going with this.

Sammy's Swynwrimo: SWYNRP Character Wishlist

Disclaimer 1: As always I will not be including fcs because I certainly do not have any skill with fcs! I leave that to the PROFESSIONALS (like Mak)! Disclaimer 2: These haven't changed much over the years so I'm sorry! lol

Characters I Wanna See People Write Because I Wanna Interact With Them So Bad Pretty Pretty Please:

Barley Lightfoot: Listen, usually I'd put him in the list of characters I want to play because I've been tempted to pick up Barley for literal years but I feel like I probably shouldn't pick up Barley with Tony and Ian being solidified as soulmates so I'm begging pleading on my KNEES for one of you to get him so I can throw your future brother-in-law at them and Ian's mentor who I've been headcanoning treats BARLEY like a psuedo-mentor in the Magick History Department AND Riley, your psuedo-cousin! C'moooon!

Bingham “Bing” Boggs: Inside Out Characters FTW!! Listen, this idea is so bright and fun and I want to throw Martin at him and absolutely obviously Riley! It's just so fun please bring me Bing Bong 😭

Wade Ripple: Wade's energy really captivates me. I don't think I'd be able to do him justice but I have been obsessed with this sobbing mess since my first watch through of Elemental. I can see Riley or Martin (depending on age) also being drawn to his energy. Might drive Tony nuts depending but.

Keaton “Buster” Palmerteri: Listen, we ALL know I'm a Sequels Bitch and Buster has always been one of those characters I hate to love and love to hate. Just the Big Bully energy mixed with him also being a werewolf? The power that that could bring? Very fun!

James P. Sullivan: Who doesn't love a demon? Especially one who wants to pass for human but has to use their monstrous side to survive? The nuance! The dichotomy! I wanna see him!!

Characters Sammy Wants To Play & You Should Take Away From Me Please Oh Please Save Me From Myself:

Stiles Sanders Experiment 626: I've only been staring at this skeleton since I joined in 2020. I feel like Stiles' story can go so many ways! He's definitely got some Super Shit going on after the experiments but ultimately he wants to just be a person! And the amnesia? I mean please!

William Conner: Similar vibes to the above but!! Human Robot!! Human ROBOT!!! He grew too much sentience after an upgrade and now he wants to be a Real Boy! Why would you not wanna be involved here?!!?

Princess Atta Flutterwing of Swynlake Hollow: Okay this is a very recent addition to the Box of Potentials but the potential is still there! The idea of finding a human apartment because the Queen has decreed you need to understand humans which means you're essentially On Your Own for the first time in your whole life? Yes, of course, you can visit home but it's a whole change in the dynamics if you're visiting rather than living there. A coming of age story! Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift ANYONE!??!

Eve Harper: My concept for Eve is very different than the skeleton, admittedly. I can see Eve walking through the world with her OCD first as an adversary then as a way to look at things from other angles. I always picture her as a sorcerer (Divination Specialty) with the gift of Prophecy that makes her obsessions and compulsions all that more complicated to navigate. Just knowing she can do good with these gifts but also knowing that it's not quite as reliable as people might think.

Pearl Beck: The idea of this bright and bubbly cecaelia is really fun! The other two are evil (love you Ursula and Morgana) and Pearl just desperately wants to be accepted. Nowhere that has claimed to be 'Magick Friendly' has ever truly allowed her to stay because of the stigma of her abilities but she doesn't let it get her down!

My maths class is actually feral so I've started compling funny quotes (including those from our teacher lol)

Random British Maths class out of context (aka what happens when you but a Scot in a room of teenage mostly english mostly girls) :

"Trees kill animals"

"Tree killing animals"

"You are destroying these animals lives"

"Tree animal killing" (???)

"Been on the wine gums at break"

"Bing Bong Bing Bong Bing Bong Bing Bong" (to Big Ben's tune, apparently this is a refrence)

"Keep off the wine gums"

"Write??!!?"

"If i baked you brownies...?" "(cough)"

"Do you prefer this class to my brother's class?" (Our teacher proceeded to bluff for the rest of the leason)

"They're greek???"

"That's a statement. ISN'T IT?"

[whiskeyswifty]

The cardigan/car again rhyme alone deserves AOTY I’ll say it.

[danganfixationronpa]

Naezono (Makoto x Sayaka)

Telling the class they are going to try dating.

Everyone in class 78 gives their reactions.

You got it! Keep in mind that I didn't bother including Genocide Jack/Jill, because poor Toko needs a break xD

Hope you enjoy!

Sayaka and Makoto departed the school courtyard in remarkably high spirits. They both revealed their true feelings for each other that same day around the same time, and Sayaka acknowledged that even her great intuition couldn't possibly predict that.

Ding dong, bing bong!

It all started with the basic "do you have a crush on anybody" interrogation. Sure, it was pretty juvenile and typical, but neither of them cared in the slightest, not with the answers they both received.

That school bell signified that lunchtime was over, and that the next class of the day was about to start.

When they entered the classroom, buzzing with the voices of their fellow classmates, suddenly most of their eyes were transfixed on the joyful pair.

"Yo, what's going on with you guys?" Leon asked, feet carelessly kicked back on his desk with his hands resting behind his head. "You keep on showing up to classes together, just you two."

"You both seem to be particularly pleased right now, but also nervous," Kyoko examined knowingly. "Did something happen?"

Sayaka and Makoto both blushed. However, Sayaka was able to recover much quicker than Makoto.

"We've decided to go on a date together," Sayaka said cheerfully. She stood proud as she said it, which Makoto couldn't help but admire. He himself couldn't even meet the goggling eyes of their fellow classmates.

Leon's laid-back composure waned as he nearly fell backwards into his chair, but he caught himself just in time. He rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Oh, really? I guess that makes sense why the two of you have been together a lot. Uh, congrats you guys. You're one lucky guy, Makoto."

"Me too. I'm so happy for the both of you," Chihiro added quiet, but gleefully all the same.

Sayaka and Makoto both said their thanks in unison, although they both can tell that Leon's smile was wavering after uttering that last comment.

"I totally knew it!" Aoi exclaimed. She sprinted over to the pair to hug them both (albeit a little too firmly). "So happy for you two!"

"Indeed," Sakura said, smiling. "I hope the best for the both of you moving forward."

"Hell yeah! But I'll bet the chick would totally top the dude in your situation," Mondo said, laughing hard at his own joke.

Makoto hid his face yet again as it tinged red, and Sayaka giggled awkwardly.

"Mondo! Intercourse is no laughing matter!" Taka chimed in. He then pointed an intimidating finger towards the couple's direction. "Now, you two, know that any sort of physical act of intimacy will not be tolerated in the facility of this school! Please also be aware of the importance of taking contraceptive measures..."

"No no no, that's okay!" Sayaka interrupted politely. "We will be careful."

Makoto didn't think it was possible for him to become even redder, but he did, all while hoisting his hoodie up to his flushed face.

"This could have easily been the type of outcome to make simple bets on, but the results would have simply been too inevitable for my liking," Celeste noted, indifferent. "I do prefer a challenge."

"So, a man and a woman from opposing worlds fall in love, and they are willing to fight through trials and tribulations just so they could be together, no matter how different their lifestyles are," Hifumi dramatically narrated. "Hmm, yes — readers will most definitely be invested!"

'I don't think it's THAT extreme. Also, what readers?' Makoto thought to himself.

Mukuro shrugged her shoulders. "I don't particularly care..."

"You're just pissed off that I was totally right!" Junko said, elbowing her sister in the arm while cackling.

"W-What's the big d-deal?" Toko demanded. "It's just another s-stupid high school love s-story."

"I'll tell you what the big deal is!" Hiro said, pointing at Toko. "According to the spirits, somebody in this very school was going to ask somebody out! They told me so last night!"

That could literally be anybody anytime.

"Well, I have had my suspicions for a while now. It seems I have arrived at the proper conclusion." Kyoko showed the slightest smirk on her face. "Congratulations to the both of you."

The classroom suddenly fell silent, and most eyes veered over to the very back of the room, where sat a tall blond with spectacles, holding up a book in his hand.

"What?" Byakuya ultimately demanded.

"Don't you have anything to say, Mr. Togami?" Hifumi prodded.

Byakuya tsked.

"I think it's safe to say that Byakuya has "said" what he wanted to," Sakura remarked.

Most of the class agreed, and everyone seemed to be in good spirits.

When actual class commenced, Sayaka and Makoto had their seats next to each other — as usual — but this time, their hands interlaced in between the empty space of their desks.

helpppppp i read that scenario of reader sleeping over, and I couldn’t help but imagine that they all share the same room when that is. Also what do you think the twins would do to get readers attention over the other?

Im gonna set this back when you’re in the middle school or something.

masterlist

fluff

word count: 1.6k

You and the twins are already comfortable with laying on each other’s bed whenever you/they visit. Your mother, Amos, even brings snacks to your room for them to eat and she always gets excited whenever they come to your house.

She’s even the one who insisted if you wanna invite them for a sleepover! Your father, Decarabian, always disapproves whenever you ask him if you can sleep at the twin’s house. (Also because uncle Andrius is there and he doesn't want you to get close to him)

Himmel and Venti were having friendly bickering and thinking over what gift they should give to your mother as thanks for welcoming them in. Amos accepts anything! She really appreciates they’ve put an effort to do it but later on, feels guilty and that they didn’t have to do it.

Speaking of gifts, your birthday is almost coming. Himmel and Venti thought at the same time. And while Aunt Amos is here...

You already know that they also have the same idea to ask your mother what you would like to have as a gift but have different methods to approach her.

It was Himmel who first asked aunt Amos about it. Well... not really her but someone else. It was after dinner and he decided to help her out and the maids in cleaning the dishes. He was really nervous and shy to ask her. Is it really alright if he questions aunt Amos what are your favorites? Will she get disappointed that he doesn’t know what your likes and dislikes are for the entire years he grew up with you?

Himmel sighed and continues to wipe the dishes with a dry cloth and puts them inside their respective racks.

“Master Himmel is everything alright?” A maid suddenly asked in concern, surprising him.

“We can handle everything here. If you’re getting tired, we’ve already prepared and tidied the room as what the Young Mistress has ordered.” She continued. The boy blinked before shaking his head and giving a soft smile to her way.

“Oh please don’t worry about me! I’m just thinking about something.” His attention was back on the ceramic plate and he carefully does dry it.

“Is it perhaps the Young Mistress’s birthday is coming soon?”

Himmel almost dropped the plate if it were not for him to quickly regain his balance and tightly hold on to it for dear life. He looked at the maid in utter shock, his face was scribbled with bafflement and embarrassment as he owlishly blinked at her.

Was he really that obvious the maid managed to point out his current problems right on spot? Well, It’s better to talk to her about this right? She knows you more than him after all.

Himmel nodded and set his gaze on the plate, mirroring his appearance.

“What do you think [Name] would like to receive as a gift?” He muttered under his breath as heat began to crawl up to his face up to the tip of his ears.

“Young Mistress’s favorite?” The maid echoed. She then placed her gloved hands to her chin, deep in thought.

“I’m sure she’d love anything as long as it’s from you. It’s the thought that counts, is it not?” She said before turning off the faucet to avoid wasting water.

Himmel was quiet for a minute.

Anything, huh?

—

Venti would directly ask Aunt Amos what gift you would like when she was preparing night snacks for the three of you. The younger twin snuck out of the room and left you and Himmel alone to play some video games.

As much as he’d hate not being included there and missing out on the fun, the most important matter right now is the gift you’ll get for your day of birth!

“Aunt Amos! Aunt Amos!” Venti cried and slammed the door open to where the kitchen is. The said woman shrieked at the sudden intrusion and looked over her shoulder to see the culprit behind her almost heart attack.

“Venti... goodness you gave me a fright there.” Amos chuckled and continued to prep up an iced tea.

“Aunt Amos, I wanna ask you something!” He said and leaned over the counter to take a peek at what she’s doing.

She stopped whatever she’s doing and wiped her hands with her apron before setting her focus on the short male.

“What is it?”

Venti walked back and cleared his throat behind his fist as if he were going to make a speech.

“A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the gentleman next to him pull a bag of 100 Mora out of his pocket.

He turns to the rich man and says to him,

'I have an amazing talent; I know almost every song that has ever existed.'

The rich man laughs.

The poor man says, 'I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it.'

The rich man laughs again and says, 'OK, how about my daughter's name, [Name]?'

The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich.

What song did he sing?”

Venti ended his riddle with a smile at the woman. Amos seemed to be contemplating his question very well and it’s not often she gets to participate in his brain-teasers. So this is very much a surprise for her.

Well, enough about that, she has to answer this quickly and she doesn’t want to make him wait for her longer. Going back to his riddle, was the rich man supposed to be her husband? Venti did mention your name when the poor man asked the rich man.

A song that has your name...

“Is it Happy Birthday?” She answered.

“Bing bong!” Venti’s fingers were formed to an okay sign and gave her a big grin.

“Knowing the answer is Happy Birthday, I suppose you’re also going to ask me about [Name]’s gift, am I correct?”

Venti let out a hearty laugh and winked at her. “Correct once again, Miss Amos!”

“Sooo...” He held on to the chair’s backrest and gave her the best puppy eyes he could muster to get another answer from her.

“Please please please please tell me what [Name] would like— no, LOVE to get on her birthday!!” He begged and clasped his hands together as if he was praying to a god.

“Now, now, isn’t that cheating? Your brother never asked me about this so isn’t it fair for you if you guess as well?” She remarked as she arranged the brownies on the plates.

“Wait— Himmel didn’t ask you?!”

Oh, how foolish he was to think the older twin actually asked your mother. Was he thinking too much when Himmel helped her out in cleaning the table? Perhaps yes, perhaps not. Or maybe Aunt Amos is hiding something that even she cannot tell the hidden secret to him?

“Well, I suppose I can give you a hint on what it is.” Amos motioned for him to come closer in which Venti quickly obeyed. Venti took note of all the words left from her lips in his head and is beginning to plan out events on the next days before your birthday.

His smile was brighter than the sun in this nightly hour and his eyes sparkled in excitement and joy. Even though her hint lacks information and clues he could deduct, he at least speculated it must be that item!

“Thank you, Miss Amos! That’s already a good hint for me! Now if you excuse me, I suppose we can eat this already...?” He sheepishly asked as he looked on the tray placed with a pile of brownies on a plate, a pitcher of iced tea, and three tall fragile glasses.

“I was about to ask you if you can bring it to the room. Be careful not to trip on your way!” The young male bobbed his head and picked up the tray with his two hands.

“Will do! And thank you for the snacks again!” And then off he goes, his slippers slapping against the tiled floor to make his way back to the shared room.

Amos watched his form disappear before her eyes flicked to the doorframe. A small smile appeared on her lips and crossed her arms over her chest.

“You can come out now, dear.” She said. A good minute of silence was only present in the kitchen before a tall man stepped out of the darkness, sighing heavily as he threw her a look of disappointment.

“Did that little rascal really have to use me in his riddles?” He groaned before taking a look over the leftover pieces of brownies.

“What? It’s kind of amusing and smart to do it. I’ll give him kudos for that.” Amos opened her lips and popped in small bits of the dessert in her mouth to take a taste of it.

“Hmph,” Decarabian huffed as he poured a drink to the glass.

“And let me guess that Himmel also asked you about [Name]’s birthday?” He almost spat out his drink when his wife mentioned the name of your friend. It would be a waste if he did that and he doesn’t like to cause a mess in this area already.

“I told you he’s a good kid. You just have to get rid of that frown of yours and your authoritative aura. Himmel’s always doing his best and now he even had the courage to approach and ask you.”

Decarabian could only stand still and remain silent as he sipped his drink.

ive written a shared room scenario before and this is set on college au. Do take note this has nsfw content in it

[bitchapalooza]

Romano headcanons

• Fucking. Loves. Astronomy.

• Can name every single star in the night sky.

• May not admit it but he too enjoys a nice hug every now and then. Occasionally he'll to Veneziano's and just falls onto him claiming he's gonna crush him as revenge for something he'd apparently done. Veneziano's firm hugs kinda remind him of Rome's actually...

• Cried over the "death" of Bing Bong from Inside Out. Of course he was little drunk so no one is too sure if it was exactly genuine or not...

• Talks to animals as if they'd talk back to him. He WILL hold entire conversations with them.

• Can play not only the acoustic guitar but the electric as well. He only learned it to prove a point.

• The point? That he totally could learn it within a month. Didn't say he'd MASTER it though. Yeah, he's not the greatest player but he at least knows the basics.

• Smacks his food very loudly in the morning to annoy Veneziano because what are brothers for if to not annoy them constantly?

• Refuses to play modern video games because they're all way too flashy and complicated for his liking. He's willing to play Smash Brothers or Mario Kart though. Seborga get him liking them.

• Speaking of games, he has quite a few on his phone, most of which are very simplistic. Some include; flappy bird, farmville, angry birds, pacman, candy crush.

• He doesn't play many console games. Says they're a hassle.

• Chews on pens a lot to, once again, annoy Veneziano. Annoying Germany is a bonus.

• Is actually the better cook out of his brothers.

• Is also the one to make the biggest mess in the kitchen and never immediately cleans it :)

• Romano's biggest pet peeve are people who sleep with socks on. Like stop it. Don't put socks on when you don't have the intention of putting your shoes on!

• Enjoys a nice nap in the sun in a comfy hammock. Maybe even read a nice book in the hammock too.

• Has worn sweats to very professional and important meetings before.

• In a zoom call his go to greenscreened background is always himself wearing Gucci to remind everyone he's better than them.

• The amount of times this man has been caught eating dried spaghetti noodles at 3AM is absurd.

• Although he may not be very artistic, Romano IS naturally good at dealing in politics. When Veneziano is having trouble understanding, Romano is typically the one to step in and explain it in easier terms. He acts bitter about it but genuinely is willing sit up at night explaining these things. Especially if it helps lighten his work load a tad.

• Ask him a question and he will answer with a question of his own. Ask him to stop and he'll just be a cryptic shit.

• Constantly looses his sunglasses.

• But really it's just Seborga taking them.

• Romano still prefers typewriters over laptops. He has one in his home office but rarely gets to use it anymore.

• His fridge has magnetic letters that he spells dirty words out with daily. It actually pisses Veneziano off which is a big bonus!

KIT’S APARTMENT TOUR ; COMMUNAL AREAS

IMAGE 1:

As soon as you walk in the door, Kit wants you to know he can be ~sophisticated~ too, hence the head plant. He being cute and domestic with his little bowl for his keys etc, and a place to hang your jacket. His policy is always mi casa es su casa, so make yourself comfortable.

IMAGES 2 & 3:

Kit likes to cook (mostly breakfast ngl) so he has a nice big kitchen space. Most of the time he actually likes to keep his apartment clean and looking like a show home, but sometimes he lets dirty dishes pile up next to the sink and empty bottles of alcohol next to his bin for recycling. (I’ve also just realised the ovens look broken, don’t look at me)

IMAGES 4 & 5:

Of course Kit has an obnoxiously large TV for when he’s high as a kite and wants to binge watch reality TV shows. My favourite things about this area is probably his little drinks cart and his neon sign above it (don’t be fooled, he has a ton more alcohol in his cupboards), his vintage record player, and actually his colour scheme?? Oh and his big bi-folding doors out onto his mini balcony area. Naturally I had to include his weed, bong, and leftovers of his favourite takeout.

IMAGE 6:

Again, Kit hasn’t really put much effort into his balcony area because he doesn’t want people to think he’s living fancy up there. He has a small grill for the occasional times he’ll BBQ some food, but other than that it’s just his small smoking area filled with random furniture he’s found over the years.

Random monokuma x reader thing because I'm tired and angry Part 1 (warning: might be terribly written. Sorta self indulgent because I worry abt things being high quality too much. Takes place in v3 because I've been hyperfixiatiing on that the most, also this isnt the fake date thing I talked abt but I'll try to incorporate it in the story if anyone wants.)

You've been here in this place for a while. 16 'ultimate' students (and you) had gotten stuck in a killing game. A killing game, where you have to murder someone to leave. On top of that, your captors aren't normal either. Instead of (weird) human people, they're plush toy robot bears. Weird looking robots that look like teddy bears. All of them with an odd design that makes them only look half like teddy bears. A big monochrome one that called himself monokuma, the headmaster of this 'ultimate academy of gifted juveniles' and his five colorful children called the monokubs (they all have their own names too, but this is getting too long)

All of it was bizzare, but you tried hard not to think about it. All of the students kept talking about escaping this place (and also including you in it), even though you didn’t really mind being here, since you have everything you need to survive. But then again you dont really mind escaping either, the place felt a bit cramped, and someone could also kill you to get out. But besides that, nothing had really bothered you that much.

Except for one thing

You wernt sure why, but something was bothering you, and it had something to do with monokuma.

Now one thing everyone thought about monokuma was how much they hated him. Really hated him. Saying he's 'full of malice and despair', getting annoyed when hes around and all. (And you don't disagree with them, he is pretty annoying.)

But for some reason, you don't really feel the same...?

It's a weird feeling. You feel weird when he's around, or whenever the others mention him. Somthing like... a tinge of happiness? Something like that.

But why do you feel like this? Why do you feel happy? That ...thing is making you and you classmates friends kill each other. And even then you dont ...hate his guts? Why is this happening to you? Why does it feel like as if you-*DING DONG BING BONG*

Ah‐

The monitor screen flashes, showing the green monokub (monodam) announcing that its 10 am (well not really announcing, he didnt really say anything).

"There only one, huh" you assumed that the rest had gone to bury (or cook) monokuma ...why are you getting sad now?

You pushed that thought away "Guess its night time now" you think, realizing you had just been laying on your bed, staring at the ceiling,"I should probably sleep now, instead of worrying about it." Yeah that's it, it'll probably just go away in the morning. Yeah...

With those thoughts in mind, you feel asleep.
