Kim Seokjin: No pants

Jin was currently working on a large project. It was a delicate thing he was producing truly from the heart. He had been planning this for weeks gathering some tools for the job from various sources. He set up his live stream ready to show the Army what he was creating. So there he was slaving away sweat collecting across his brow. He was exhausted but he continued showing the Army how his ideas and processes formed together. And that’s how you found him, no pants with such precise hand motions,  he was really working up a sweat. 

“Why are you doing That on a live stream?”

“Shush, I'm almost there,” he panted now using both hands, for the grand finale.

“Can I help?” You said thinking it would definitely end this whole show a lot quicker.

“Yes!” His voice cried out, throwing his hands up in the air excited. “I did it.”

“Congratulations you made pancakes”

“These aren’t just pancakes, I got them the same size five or take a millimetre or two and stacked them perfectly” He grinned proud

“That’s a pretty neat skill Jin, you should take a photo” You reached for your camera but as you looked back up he was cutting into them and eating happily.

Min Yoongi: Space

“Hey Yoongi do you have a piece of paper?”

“Yeah rip one out from any of those books” He sighed and you walked over to the small pile when you found a children's notebook, this one had a rocket ship on it and you opened it up towards the middle to rip out a page cleanly, but there was some roughly scrawled words. 

I wish I could go to space camp. But Mum and Dad can’t afford it. It’s okay if I don’t go, we can have fun on our own. Love Min Yoongi

Your heart melted and you closed the book without paper and you googled the nearest space camp and you told the other boys that it was for Yoongi’s birthday, they seemed rather excited packing their things and you packed for Yoongi and yourself. You had hired out the facility to run a camp for the group and some camera men this was something that the Army couldn’t miss.

Jung Hoseok: Free  

Waking excited Hoseok went for a shower and brushed his hair. He dressed and shined his shoes. Today was the day and he was so excited.

“Jung Hoseok?”

“Yes sir” He smiled at the entry, the door slid open and he was escorted through the building and down to an office. There was a mountain of paperwork to sign and when he was done they handed him another change of clothes.

He was so happy his fingers caressing the fabric of his favorite shirt. He was quick to change and they smiled. He was nervous, walking out the front door and the gate opened slowly and there you were waiting for him on the other side.

His little pregnant wife. He held you in his arms and kissed your face all over dropping to his knees and whispering to your round belly.

“I am so glad to have you back”

“J-hope!” The boys shouted running in their shirts reading. ‘Enjoy your Freedom!’

“Did you get any cool prison tattoos?”

“No I didn’t it was only three months guys”

Kim Namjoon: May the 4th be with you  

You were at a convention dressed as Queen Padmé Amidala you felt self conscious about your stomach being on show and the tight outfit. That was until you walked into a very elaborate dark figure. 

“Oh sorry I wasn’t watching where I was going. I really like your outfit wow, this is honestly the best Darth Vader I have seen” You smiled admiring the work that had been put into it and they still didn’t speak. 

“Oh my gosh can I get a photo of you both” someone asked and you smiled and the two of you posed together and you had soon gathered a crowd people taking pictures and asking for you to act out scenes and soon a Yoda appeared painted green and grinning, alongside a gold shiny C-3PO a chewbacca and a tiny dog dressed as R2D2. Everyone was getting pictures when you heard. “Can we get a kiss?”

“Anakin takes off your mask, you put a lot of work into replicating the character” The Yoda whispered to the tall dark figure.

“But she is so pretty and I am a nerd”

“Dude she is a nerd too, she is dressed as a star wars character at a convention full of nerds”

The crowd was cheering as C-3PO was doing a very amazing Robot dance choreography. Along came a broad shouldered man dressed up as slave Princess leia, a very lethargic Han Solo and a smiling Luke skywalker.

“Take of the mask Anakin” the Yoda and the chewbacca lifted the mask and revealed a very handsome Anakin you heard some whispers about him being asain so he didn’t look like the character but you thought he was even more handsome.

“Kiss, Kiss, Kiss” The crowd chanted and he looked up at you with a blush across his cheeks and you pulled gently on the front of his costume until his lips met yours. His friends started cheering as did the crowd and you pulled out a small piece of paper from your pocket and wrote down your number and a quick message before you walked away.

“What does it say?”

“May the fourth be with you” He chuckled and you heard a laugh that reminded you of a weird clown or horse wiping down some windows.

Park Jimin: Herb  @anaiss97​ [Full story] Not much was known about the young Korean man who showed up to all the parties. All anyone knew was that he was the biggest flirt and he had the herbs everyone wanted. Honestly, it didn’t matter what you wanted he had it somehow. You were at one of these parties, it wasn’t really your scene. 

Usually, you had no problem but tonight you really just couldn’t. So you were trying to find a place to get a quick nap, you opened the first door to see the Host with his boyfriend chatting quietly.

“Sorry I was looking for a place to rest”

Seokjin smiled “You can have the room or perhaps if you want we can entertain you?” 

The two smirked and you blushed once more. “No I really am tired and want to sleep, I was working on a thesis all night last night and–”

“Say no more sweetheart, rest” you climbed into the blankets, Seokjin switched the light off and you were resting drifting off easily. ~ The light switch flicked on and even with your eyes closed you felt blinded. You couldn’t stop the harsh shriek that pierced the air. “What? What is it now!?” 

“I am sorry” the voice was soft and unrecognizable as its owner switched the lights back off, “Can I sit for a moment?”

“Sure” you mumbled laying back down, you could smell the stranger’s beautiful cologne and you got curious. “Turning your phone on and using the light of your lock screen to examine the stranger's face”

Ash-blonde hair painted on the side, he smiled wetting his thick lips with his tongue. 

“Ah it’s you” dropping your arm back to the bed no longer feeling uncomfortable, all the encounters you had with him were pleasant, he always used endearments because he never remembered names. 

“You know me, baby?” He took his phone and repeated your process to stream a soft light over your face. “Oh my, baby it is you, what are you doing in here sleeping your usually the brightest in the room”

“Thesis” you mumbled and he hummed taking your hand. 

“Hey listen how about I make you an offer tonight you can ask for anything you want and I will give it to you for half price if I don’t have it I will give you the next best thing for free” the lamp beside the bed was clicked on giving a soft orange glow throughout the room. 

“You got fried chicken?” You hummed looking over at him curiously you were craving it. He opened his jacket. 

“I got a warm meatball sub, a packet of lollipops a container of home-cooked spaghetti, I got spare underwear in all different sizes this is a set of slippers when your feet get sore in heels, juice, mixers spirits I got herbs for days this one will make you happy this one calms you down this one here has you seeing pretty colors this one has you asleep till morning, this is my house special it takes like a cinnamon donut” he looked over. You shook your head and he sighed lifting a gym bag onto the bed, “alright brace yourself, I got spare clothes, ramyeon packets, a scented candle, batteries pet food, I have painkillers, cold medicine, I have this thing which I think was an Easter egg, I got a 3DS, a switch and a variety of games, I got a can of tomato soup, yet no can opener weird, I got a heat pack, I got this adult diaper and I don’t know why, and a spiderman comic”

“No” you sighed

“Tell me what you want and if I know I don’t have it it’s free” he hummed 

“I want a cuddle?”

Kim Taehyung: Thirst

Owner of the club ‘Thirst’ was just a front business, you were actually a hacker. A good one, if you were feeling like bragging. You were kind of in hiding and couldn’t really trust anyone you didn’t know before the incident. Who knew your skills with a computer would lead to a government website which you breached enough for them to call it treason.

You were just snooping around the dark web when you stumbled upon documents of some truly disgusting things one of them actually made you physically ill. But your computer system began screaming at you that they were reverse tracking your baby. It wouldn’t be easy, you had a unique code and half of it was utter nonsense. Saying goodbye to your baby. You destroyed everything on it. Packed everything and left. Thank god you had done everything card less, you worked for cash you paid cash and you did some shady business with people so that you would never be traced.

You moved just in case and started a front business so that in the event anything happened you would have an alibi.

“Manager-nim the computer is doing something funny, can you call the technician?” Yoongi called quietly, the guy was a terrible ‘people’ person , an excellent DJ and an expert in mixing cocktails.

“I can have a look” You smiled

“No manager last time you almost broke the computers, you don’t understand them like we do” Hoseok pushed you away from the registers and subsequently the computers attached to them.

“Manager you just boss us around okay, that's your job and we will follow your orders as it is our job”

“Manager-nim, you have a young man in your office waiting for his job interview.” Jimin cleaned the tables dressed in a charming club aesthetic. His job was to clean tables and lead people into buying more drinks. A host.

The man in your office was handsome like your main host Seokjin and charming as Jimin. Your bouncer Namjoon stepped in briefly giving you a courtesy greeting alongside the new trainee Jungkook he had potential especially with all those muscles. All your workers doubled as bouncers; they all had their strengths.

“So Kim Taehyung is it, what makes you want to be a host at thirst?”

“I really want to make friends and I can’t flirt with girls. What I mean is I can if it is for work but I can’t just do it on my own so I would like to gain more confidence” You nodded, it was all lies you had searched him thoroughly, he worked for the government more specifically the Cyber coordinator and he was here to gather Intel.

This was going to be fun.

Jeon Jungkook: Nurse

Nurse Jeon. Yup that title gave him a lot of grief from his friends and he hated it, just cause he was a man didn’t mean he couldn’t be a nurse. Sure he aimed to be a doctor, but things didn’t work out and he wasn’t accepted into medical school, so he aimed a little lower and became a Nurse.

In his opinion he was a kick-ass nurse, he worked in the Pediatric ward and spent most of his time bringing smiles to the kid's faces, he made his rounds with ice creams and cups of pudding and jelly. He sang and danced for the kids and played superheroes and he was always Ironman. The highlight of his day was when the doctors would do their rounds, not only did he admire them and their job so much he admired you and how brilliant and beautiful you were.

“Oh Aera, look at this little tool, do you know what it does? It lets me listen to your heartbeat, would you like to listen to mine first?” The young girl nodded “Wow you are a pro at this you could be a doctor when you are older”

“Doctor Y/N, Do you have a boyfriend?”

“Uh... No, why do you have someone in mind?” You grinned

“Nurse Jeon” she smiled and you giggled 

“He is cute isn’t he, but I get nervous around boys and I can’t really talk to them and Nurse Jeon is really handsome, what if he doesn’t like me?”

“He does, he told us when he got drunk off chocolate puddings” a young teen in the corner nursing his swollen cheeks after dental surgery. Jungkook was making extreme hand gestures at the young boy smirking across the room. “This was before he announced he was Iron man and ran around the room pretending to shoot lasers from his hands and making all the shooting sounds”

“Well if he is Ironman than we must be destined to be together, Ironman is my favorite superhero”

[candyflavoredletters]

could you do Hero x DJ as a ship?

They say people have three faces. Hero Cookie thinks most people have two. But the faces was more metaphorical, right? And they probably didn’t mean the whole alter ego thing. This was also not something most people had, either.

Maybe he has three faces.

The witch needed better things to do with her time.

Wait, no, back to the point.

People have faces they don’t always show each other. Case in point: DJ Cookie.

It’s almost surprising, really, how no one has called them out on it. Maybe he’s just better at picking up secret identities when he has one of his own.  Or maybe it’s because DJ’s alter ego is just... them in normal clothing. It’s jarring to see them without their trademark grin and music. 

They’re just there, sitting in cafe, reading a book. He wouldn’t even have thought it was them if it weren’t for their hair. And if they hadn’t arranged to meet up here, anyway.

Then again, it’s not like theirs was much of a secret identity anyways. 

“What are you reading?” Hero asks, peering at their book.

DJ squeaks. Their eyes widen and they close the book shut. “Nothing. Caramel Cookie, when did you get here?”

Hero shrugs and gives them a smile. “Only a while ago. Did you get my message?”

“There might have been a vibration,” DJ cookie mumbles, face red. “I didn’t check it.”

"Oh, well! I’m here now at least, right? So, DJ, what did you think about last week’s issue?”

“Of the comics based on Hero Cookie?” Upon Hero’s nod, DJ frowns. “I don’t know... I liked it, but isn’t it kind of weird to make a comic about an actual cookie? He probably finds it weird.”

Hero grins at them. They knew there was a reason he liked them. “Good points! I’ve heard that they’ve got permission from the hero himself, so it should be fine.”

“Really? Good for him,” DJ snorts. “At least he’s got some heads up. Still think it’d be weird, though.”

“True enough! Speaking of reading, can i see that book, DJ?”

DJ gestures to their book. “...This one? It’s... it’s my notebook.”

“You were the one who told me to come and read it!” Hero huffs. “Remember?”

“Right!” They fumble. “Right, right. Ah...”

Hero frowns. He opens his mouth, about to ask them if they’re okay, when he hears it.

There’s a long, loud mechanical whirring that surrounds them. From the kitchens, they can hear a metallic voice call out to all the cookies in the store.

“Operative... destroy pancakes.”

He really appreciates the idea of his life being like a comic, but universe, could he please spend some time with DJ?

Hero lets out a dramatic gasp regardless. “I need to warn Pancake Cookie! DJ, you should get to a safe place!”

He drags them out of the store before running off in a direction Pancake is decidedly not on. He then flicks open his watch, inputting a small code. 

The suit flies towards him, landing in front of him with a small thump. He hops in, hoping this would be quick.

There’s a long list of cursing in DJ Cookie’s head right now and a lot of that could be blamed on a certain caramel cookie.

No, not Caramel Cookie. They could blame it on him, if they wanted, but most of the blame should be on Hero Cookie. Especially after he had very openly admitted that the robots may have followed him.

He was apologizing for the attack when mentioning it, but still.

Maybe getting mad at Hero for being in the same cafe as them was petty. They can do petty, though, considering the attack caused their friend to run off to who knows where. 

“...And I’m glad no one got hurt!” Hero continues. DJ glares at him with as much force as they can. “I’m so sorry about all the damages.”

The shop owners reassure him that it’s fine, of course, they had meant to update their mixers anyways. They’re not sure why they bothered to buy mixers that labelled their power levels by food items.

They eye the owners, waiting patiently for them to leave. They know how it feels to be called out in the middle of a show, after all. Better to wait for this kind of conversation when he only had one person to explain to.

“What do you mean no one got hurt?”

Hero Cookie winces. 

He doesn’t want to talk to the voice’s owner now. Not when Caramel Cookie, a very good friend of theirs, was meant to be with them. Really, can he please go?

“Did you get hurt, citizen?” he says anyways. “Should I call the hospital?”

“Caramel Cookie’s gone.” DJ says it with a snarl and a frown affixed upon their face. “How can you say no one got hurt?”

Because he’s right here, he doesn’t say. “I’m sure he’s fine. I can take one last look around area for you, if that helps you feel better.”

“I’m coming with.” 

“I’ll report back to you right away,” he says, but DJ’s stance is firm. “It’ll be faster on my own.”

“I want to see him as soon as I can.”

Hero’s glad for the suit, because he’s honestly not sure what kind of face he’s making. There are only so many ways you can deal with a friend looking for your alter ego while talking to you.

“Well,” Hero begins.

He flies off without a word.

DJ Cookie is debating becoming a supervillain.

This would make them much pettier than they’d believe. Their backstory would consist of them being pissed at how off handedly Hero handled the idea of a hurt citizen when no one was around to see. At least Caramel was nearby, directed by be sounds of a suit whirring up.

Although they had to admit, if they worded it right, their backstory would sound way less petty than it actually was.

They hum, tapping a pencil to their cheek. Maybe what they were working on could be their theme song. Not nessecarily a villain one. Just one for fun.

They scribble a few thoughts in their notebook. Scales, instruments, and beats. They close it a few moments a later, a grin on their face. Maybe they’d ask Caramel for his thoughts. He had to know a few themes songs, didn’t he?

They shelve the notebook onto their shelf. The amount made their room feel a little cramped, actually. Not that they minded. They murmur a melody under their breath, trying to tune it and make it sound right. It would be nice to finish their song before the next performance, after all.

They’re only broken out of their thoughts when they hear a tap on the window.

There outside their apartment was Hero Cookie. He floats slightly, supported by his rocket thrusters. He waves with one hand and holds a familiar looking book in the other.

The windows open before he can even speak. “You got my notebook!”

“I was going to return it to you.” They can hear the embarassment in his voice. “I, um... also wanted to apologize.”

“Okay.”

“Um.” He pauses, before taking a look at DJ’s face, then continues. “Right... I should clear up first that I already found Caramel before you mentioned him.”

DJ raises an eyebrow.

“I didn’t know they were Caramel Cookie!” He holds his hands up in defense. “He just looked out of place, lost, and needed directions.”

“So why did you just fly away, then?” They glare at him. 

Hero takes a deep breath and sighs. “I panicked.”

“...You panicked.”

“I’m not supposed to take civilians with me and you weren’t budging, so...”

“You left.”

“I left.”

DJ sighs. “A’ight. That one’s on me then. Thanks for helping my friend.”

“No problem! It’s all part of the job.” He hands them their book back. “I take it you aren’t mad at me anymore?”

“More annoyed, but yeah.” DJ shrugs. “It was kind of petty of me to get mad at you for ruining my shot.”

Hero pauses. “Shot at what?”

“At confessing,” DJ coughs into their hand. “I was going to leave a confession note in this book, but. You know.”

“I... see.” Hero tilts his head. “Who’s it for?”

DJ gives him an irediculous look. “You have one guess.”

“Cookie with the heart eyes.”

“It’s Caramel Cookie.” They must sound as exasperated as they feel, because Hero looks utterly embarassed at not getting it right the first time. He coughs into his hand, not facing them anymore.

“Oh! My apologies.” His voice is a little more high pitched than normal. “I was just thinking, that, perhaps I could give it for you?”

DJ’s eyes light up. “You would?”

“I don’t see why not! Considering I, um, had inconvinient timing.” He offers a hand out for the book.

They place the book into his hands with a big grin. “Thanks, Hero.”

Hero Cookie holds the book close to his chest and dies.

Maybe he was wrong earlier. His life wasn’t becoming a comic; it was becoming fanfiction. It’s that thought that makes him almost glad that at least fanfictions give their pairing happy endings.

He flies home, already opening his phone to call DJ on the way back. If anything, he’ll make sure this story ends well.

cheat sheet for this post

industrial / darkwave

you were invited to a “warehouse club” and you’re honestly not sure what you were expecting but here you are and everyone’s naked

if a succubus was going to be a pole dancer or a stripper this is exactly what it would look like

you’re attracted and confused and that’s about all you know

whoever’s singing you can’t hear them they sound like they’re talking into a walkie talkie

you lost your phone for like two minutes and everyone within a 5 foot radius actually stopped to help you find it

everyone’s dancing like they’re gently stoned nymphs or really feelin the shit out of the conditioner they used in their hair like 4 hours ago

industrial / futurepop

this reminds you a lot of robots and cyborgs and really clean futuristic art on tumblr

you watched ghost in the shell and armitage like once or twice

whoever was singing on a walkie talkie previous has upgraded to better tech like a wireless headset

spoiler: you still have no fuckin clue what they’re talking about

you’re not sure if you’re supposed to dance or sit at the bar and talk about the inevitability of human meta and whether or not we’ll be fine or destroy ourselves

everything’s covered in dry ice and glow cubes and like 10 girls have taken selfies with you

trance

you decided to pre-game in the car with your friends and that still wasn’t enough alcohol to survive tonight

despite how sweaty and greasy everyone is you’re surprised no one’s actually naked?

you better guard your drink like a lion or duck out near the bar before the beat drops cause it’s not going to survive this girls elbow game

it’s actually impossible to dance to this shit sober

who the fuck is grinding their dick on my thigh are you fuckin kidding me right now 

you want to leave and get pancakes, but the club closes in like 30 minutes so you may as well wiggle tiredly until the DJ finishes the only good song that’s played all night

The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 15 Review: Do PizzaBots Dream of Electric Guitars?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers.

The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 15

The Simpsons Season 32, episode 15, “Do PizzaBots Dream of Electric Guitars?,” is a reaffirmation of all things Simpson. It is off the rails as far as timelines go, but captures the classic subversion of all things sacred. The episode is about rekindling the sparks of youth which have burned out and the destruction of memory, specifically childhood memories. The first thing the episode tackles is what we know about the Simpson family.

The episode opens in a flashback to the 1990s, when Homer was a teenager at his first job. Of course, we know he’s actually already married with two kids, and starring on a show which has been on TV since 1989 at this point in his life, but after 32 seasons of The Simpsons, there are only so many satirical scenarios left to dredge for a backstory. In this timeline we get to see Hip Hop Homer, aspiring DJ and lover of the Humpty dance. Abe thinks his son is wasting his life. The premise of the opening segment is the 8 Mile story, which The Simpsons has mined before for inspiration. It’s crystal Pepsi clear.

Non-canonical episodes of The Simpsons are very often series highlights. The “Treehouse of Horror” episodes consistently rank at the top of every season. The writers don’t have to deal with everyday terrors like character continuity, or fit into any timeline. Springfield residents can be dispensed at whim, and not just Hans Moleman, who can be killed in any manner of ways during a regular episode, occasionally more than once.

Gil Gunderson is another ultimately disposable character. Here we get a faux backstory to spice up the 8 Mile premise. Homer is working at a specialty pizza parlor in this episode, setting up mechanical robots who sing for kids. When a birthday brat ruins one, it’s showtime for the teen rapper. Homer “knows all the Ices, from Cube to T,” but his opening cut is “Slice, Slice Baby,” which he heavily samples from Vanilla Ice. Homer uses it to upsell pizzas, even finding a rhyme for Calamari olives. He ends with a plug for Canadian bacon which, on pizza, is very Vanilla Ice.

At the height of the pizzatainment, Gil’s place is shut down by the feds, because there were drugs stashed in the robot musicians. Homer’s dream is dashed. He loved those pizza-bots. We learn it’s just a memory Homer’s repressed, but remembering it wrecks him. Marge can’t stand to see him this way. He’s lost his youthful spirit. She can tell because he no longer shuffles his pancakes or butt races the dog on the carpet. Moe can sense something is wrong because Homer doesn’t spin Barnie on his barstool anymore, or drink beer from a crazy straw.

Bart and Lisa can tell because Moe and Marge agree on something. Also, because it makes sense. Rapping pizza robots “is a very dad kind of trauma.”

Putting the band back together makes for some classic comic sequences. The kids track Gil to Skid Row in Hollywood, where he remembers the incident in a completely subverted way. Back then, the whole world was his nostril, the drugs sold themselves, and he’s just waiting for a chance to pull himself together and sell more drugs. Disco Stu, who is a collector of disco memorabilia, owns the Jive Turkeys from the display. His mother, Public Domain Debbie, mocks her son for obsessing over the worst music craze ever inflicted on America, and frets over what his father, Doo-Wop Steve, would think.

Professor Frink owns the mechanical beaver. His segment comes second but it is the comic high point of the episode. Of course he understands the connection with mechanical friends. His own mechanical friends only want, well, the punch line, which almost makes you miss the opening of Moe’s wonderful Colombo spoof. He’s even wearing a raincoat, and spins back with one more thing, some WD-40 and an Enrique Iglesias record could only mean the last member of the mechanical band has been turned into a sex robot. Upon being outsmarted, Sideshow Mel provides a perfect Colombo villain denouement. He applauds the effort, very slowly. It is clever and funny, but lands perfectly after the Frink highpoint.

J.J. Abrams is the guest star and his quest to provide ageless marvels ultimately delivers the episode’s deepest cynicism. His sycophants have to keep him in a childlike state of wonder and constant whimsy, tracking down 1982 quarters and providing other emotional comforts. Lisa and Bart get into his offices with the kinds of “super vague” promises the Abrams enterprise considers its prime directive. But when they steal the last pizza bot, on little Star Wars robot wheels no less, they have taken too big a bite on the kitsch.

Even Homer is appalled, because stealing from a celebrity is, by law, equivalent to murdering “a dozen normies.” This is wonderful underhanded commentary, the likes of which goes back to the best of the series, since its beginning. Abrams, as himself, makes it worse by not only taking the actual mechanical musicians, but destroying everything Homer loves about them by planning a robot reboot franchise in a nine-movie arc. It’s set to open March 30th, “the new Fourth of July.” Ruining childhoods is what Abrams does best. He really is a bad robot.

Homer and Comic Book Guy have such a wonderful bonding you can actually see Homer turning into the trolling collectible collector by the climax. They meet to eat, in this case their feelings, which includes chocolate frosty depression and a hot apple cry. The sadness swallowers commiserate over ruined childhood memories, like Sonic the Hedgehog’s creepy human teeth. It is deliciously warped by how touching it turns out to be.

No matter how good determination tastes, Homer can neither save his childhood nor stop the robot reboot. Too many animators went blind to make it. Homer hilariously notes “the reimagining is worse than I could’ve imagined.” The movie stars “whoever was famous eight months ago.” In the trailer, the “Agents of Pizza” promise they’ll “save the world in 90 minutes or the movie is free.” The whole movie setup sequence is a giggle.

The Simpsons revert to their irreverent roots. Movie protesters hold signs reminding people “Some of us are women” and “unrelease the Snyder cut.” Abe admits being a terrible father is a generational thing. Men his age could only love sports stars and cars, and his dream child would have been a 1963 impala SS Sport Coupe.

The conclusion seals the episode as a classic. Not only does Homer lovingly blame Abe for every horrible memory of his young life, his own kids admit they can’t wait to burn the memories of their childhoods from their brains. The readings on lines like “it was always him sucking,” “I hate you dad,” and “forget you’re terrible parents” are exquisitely inverted emotionally.  The “Troll Force Five” epilogue uses Comic Book Man and his clan very well.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

“Do PizzaBots Dream of Electric Guitars?” is the best episode of the season so far, and a classic installment to The Simpsons repertoire. Clearly up to par with the best of the classics. It is so satisfying, it feels as if it was individually made to suit me, just like J.J. Abrams would’ve done.

[pbandjesse]

I’m in maryland! I’m in another hotel though. Another holiday inn express. Because dad has wild brand loyalty. Today was another really long day but I feel good about it. I got dad to stop driving around 11 last night. We found a few hotels but dad insisted on what he knows. Which was fine I just wanted a shower and to go to sleep. And I did sleep really well. And woke up at 7 feeling good. Sore. But good. Dad had stepped out so I just got ready. We had breakfast downstairs. They had a pancake robot. I had some fruit that they had written on. It was nice. The sunrise was also really beautiful. But it was a little cold out. We were in the truck just a few minutes after 8. We were in Ohio. I enjoyed the scenery. I texted Niky to let her know I was in her home state. I mostly poked around on tumbr. I listened to my podcast for most of the ride. I played dj for dad. I almost fell asleep at one point but then we were at the rest stop and I got up. We had pretzel nuggets and called mom. I was tired. But I was having a good time with my dad. We made it to Pennsylvania. I listened to my podcast. I got to the last episode of the campaign. I had been on a huge binge the last 2 days and it’s been a ride. I’ve cried a few times. Which is embaressing but like. Its a comedy podcast!! How dare these characters become so important to me. I have one almost 3 hour episode left. And I’m going to save it until I’m alone because I think Its really going to get me. Pennsylvania was beautiful. Mountains and fields. It was really a nice ride. We stopped in breezewood pa, which I made a post about earlier. It was so strange recognizing something like that. I showed our waitress the post and she seemed to get half a kick out of it. The food at the restaurant was really good. And it was nice hanging out with dad. We only had a couple hours left. And then all of a sudden we were in maryland. And then we were pulling into Baltimore. And then we were at my apartment. We looked around inside and make a half a plan. Dad put the truck up to my back fence. And I went to take a few things inside. Then I come out and a car is trying to get past and he just was stuck between the truck and a pole. And dad was trying to direct him. And that wasn’t working so dad tried to move the truck forward and then all of a sudden the guys mirror gets pushed in. And just a little scratched. It was very upsetting and the guy was mad at first but he’s going to come tomorrow and dad’s going to try to buff it out. It sent me into a bit of an anxiety. I texted Jess and sent her a video and felt a little better. Me and dad are amazing. We started unpacking around 330 and were done by 730. We were beasts. I would fill my grandma cart. He would fill the dolly. I would stay in the apartment and place things. It was great. It was exhausting. But it was great. There were a few goofy things. Dad almost fell down the stairs. My book case fell over in the alley. I thought my taxidermy duck got broken. But it wasn’t and it was all good. But my frozen animals were a little worse for wear. They had defrosted and some of the newer ones had some blood leakage. Which was upsetting but I think fixable. I’ll deal with it later. I tried to put things where they were going to go but it was a little all over the place. So I just tried to keep it neat. Like with like. like. Then it got a little crazy and I had to take a break from getting things in just to sort of reorganize. Took things to the studio. Put so much in the kitchen. But I was able to make a path and that was good. As we were finishing the sun was just going down. Felt really great to accomplish so much. Dad went to move the truck to the front and I locked up the house. As I was sitting on the stoop someone came out from my building with a couch and he clearly needed help. So I offered and he was like “really??” So we carried his couch to his truck. He was moving out of the place. But he had good things to say about it and gave me some tips for the city. A nice guy. I hope everyone I meet is that nice and helpful. Dad pulled up and we were off. We didn’t know where and we kept arguing because dad kept saying to Google hotels and my phone doesn’t know how to look for nearby things and it was a mess. But we found a hotel. And I convinced dad to get delivery pizza so we could just get showers and not have to be out until 10. The pizza came and I went and grabbed us some soda. After I ate I grabbed a shower (and paid some bills that I had been sent to my new place) and washed my hair and now I’m just laying here. I’m super sore. But I’m excited. Tomorrow will be my first night in my new apartment if every thing goes according to plan. Mom is coming down to help and I’m just jazzed. I hope you all sleep well tonight. Big things are coming!

Dream Blog: Highway to Church

August 28th, 2016:

DJ Khaled sped onto the highway. George the Orangutan and I stayed in the back of the hearse. Occasionally, George and I slid around in the back as if we were going down a water slide due to DJ Khaled’s reckless driving. My injuries swelled and caused my body to ache. The throbbing throughout my face, shoulders, and chest never calmed down. I felt nothing but excruciating pain whenever I tried to move. The traffic on the highway was conveniently not congested either, so DJ Khaled did not slow down. I peeked out of the window like a groundhog from its hole to see if we were being followed. Sometimes, I hate when I’m right. A motorcycle gang of cyborgs followed us onto the same lane that DJ Khaled drove on for the past several minutes. He looked in the rear view mirror and figured that we had company catching up to us. I could tell that DJ Khaled was mentally preparing for this raid based on his perturbed glint. He pushed a button on the steering wheel and a shotgun popped out of the glove compartment. DJ Khaled grabbed the shotgun and placed it in his lap. I kept looking out of the window as my heart rate increased.

“I want everyone to stay calm. Our self-defense is not out of selfish ambition. It’s for the youth,” said DJ Khaled without hesitation.

“But they’re gaining on us, DJ Khaled! Please quit preaching and kill off these devils!” I coughed. My lower jaw felt like it was about to fall off my face. I also still could not feel my face after Ewan Stodson’s ambush.

“Great, cold coconut pancakes! I’ll show those robots that no one messes with me or my friends. I’m gonna jump out of this car and sling those robots like a yo-yo! Don’t forget that I’m a war hero!,” adjudicated George the Orangutan. He beat his arms on his chest and flailed his limbs around in the air.

“I want everyone to stay calm! I’ve got this. Remember, all I do is win,” assured DJ Khaled.

While peering out of the window and biting my fingernails out of fear, I heard DJ Khaled load his shotgun with its shells. The motorcycle gang of cyborgs loomed around us. DJ Khaled lifted his shotgun to the window on the driver’s door. He blasted through the window and shot it one more time at two cyborgs on a motorcycle in the lane next to him. The cyborgs and the motorcycle blew up. The wheels flew over the hearse. Debris from the rest of the motorcycle and the two cyborgs dented the driver’s side of our vehicle. DJ Khaled accelerated even faster down this highway that appeared as if it would never end. The rest of the motorcycle gang followed us, but none of the cyborgs sped up to attack or shoot us.

“George! DJ Khaled! Why are these cyborgs just following us? They could just attack us right now. What is going on?” I demanded.

“William, your guess is as good as mine. I just want to make it to the church before the cyborgs stop us from getting there. Right now, we are on the highway to church,” said DJ Khaled.

I stared out of one of the remaining windows as if I was waiting for a surprise to happen, but there were no more shootings or attacks from this motorcycle gang for what felt like an eternity. In actuality, I watched them for ten minutes and eventually fell asleep.
