#porsha needs love

[olfoartz]

Porsha slander is unreal. She isn’t a spoiled brat, just spoiled. She was also emotionally neglected by crystal.

When Porsha mistook moons role swap as a fire and told crystal, he called her an embarrassment. Maybe not straight up “your an embarrassment” but “you’ve already embarrassed me enough” technically the same thing. He didn’t comfort her but yelled at her for something she wasn’t able to control, judging by how he acts he most likely hardly gave porsha attention.

When she asked moon “did I do good?” It was a genuine question, when he answered she said “yay! You hear that? He thinks I’m awesome!” Any normal person could tell by how she said it and how she looked that she was genuinely happy with the compliment, something i very much DOUBT Jimmy gave her.

It might just be bc I like wolves, but porsha gets so much unneeded hate it’s crazy.

Yay! I was hoping for another installment of this! 🥰

Johnny and Nooshy being British

Well, a sequel to this was long overdue.

---

Rosita: Thanks for helping me with the grocery shopping, Johnny.

Johnny: Ah, it's no trouble at all, Rosita.

Rosita: Okay, next stop is the produce section. We just need clementines, zucchinis, beets, eggplants, scallions and arugula.

Johnny: Got it. Satsumas, courgettes, beetroot, aubergines, spring onions and rocket.

Rosita: (sighs) Being a mom to a British kid is certainly... educational.

---

Steff: You know, Nooshy, maybe I should get bangs. I've been thinking about it for a while.

Nooshy: (smirks) I'm sure Ash can help you with that. (takes a sip of her smoothie)

Steff: She has quills. Why would she know anything about cutting hair?

Nooshy: ...Wait, what?

Steff: I just said I was thinking about redoing my hair and getting bangs. How would Ash be able to help with that?

Nooshy: Ohhh, you mean you were thinking of getting a fringe.

Steff: What did you think I meant?

Nooshy: I thought you said you wanted to get...

(Steff thinks for a moment before spitting out her smoothie)

Steff: (blushing hard) What me and my girlfriend do in our apartment is NONE of your business!

---

Johnny: That zebra in the front row really enjoyed last night's show.

Ash: "That ZEH-bra"?

Johnny: Yeah, zebra.

Ash: You mean ZEE-bra.

Johnny: That's what I said. Zebra.

Ash: Where are you getting "ZEH-bra" from?

Johnny: That's how it's said. Z-E-B-R-A.

Ash: I'm sorry, did you just say "zed"?

Johnny: Yeah, Z.

Ash: It's "ZEE"! "Zed" just messes up the whole rhyme scheme of the alphabet song!

Johnny: Why are you getting upset? I'm just saying it, Z for zebra.

Ash: (pulls out two quills) Johnny Margeson, you are just begging to get jabbed in your British butt!

Johnny: ...Do you mean "bum"? (makes a break for it)

---

Porsha: You didn't mean it when you said "If you all haven't learnt these dance steps by next week's lesson, I may call in Klaus Kickenklober", right?

Nooshy: Nah, don't worry, I'm just taking the mick.

Porsha: Who's Mick? And where are you taking him?

Nooshy: No, I mean I'm taking the piss.

Porsha: EWW! Go to the bathroom to do that!

Nooshy: No, no, it means I'm having a laugh!

Porsha: What, you mean... you're kidding?

Nooshy: Yes!

Porsha: Well why didn't you say that then?

Nooshy: I just did!

Porsha: Okay, now I know you're taking Mick.

Nooshy: THE Mick.

Porsha: Oh, shut up!

---

Buster: Ah, don't mind me, Johnny. Just filling out some papers for the bank.

Johnny: (looks over his shoulder) Mr. Moon, since when are there 15 months in a year?

Buster: Say what now?

Johnny: You're writing the 4th of the 15th on that form. What's that all about?

Buster: ...Because that's how dates are written. Month first, then the day, then the year.

Johnny: No, no, it's day first, then month, then year.

Buster: Well that's just nuts! (sees Gunter walking past with Miss Crawly) Guys, back me up here. Have I written the date correctly on this paperwork?

Gunter: (looks closely) I think you're, like, totally confused. There's only twelve months in a year.

Miss Crawly: Oh, have I been writing the dates wrong all these years?

Buster: (facedesk)

---

Meena: (handing Nooshy an ice cream) And here's your raspberry with chocolate sauce.

Nooshy: Cheers, Meena. Your BF makes some wicked ice cream.

Meena: (licking her own) Oh, yeah, I can't not stop by Alfonso's ice cream truck when I visit Redshore City.

Nooshy: Oh, and you got hundreds and thousands. Good choice.

Meena: ...What? I only bought one for myself.

Nooshy: No, I meant you got hundreds and thousands with your ice cream.

Meena: Huh?

Nooshy: Hundreds and thousands.

Meena: Okay, repeating it isn't gonna make me know what you're talking about.

Nooshy: The tiny rainbow-coloured sweets on top of your ice cream.

Meena: ...You mean sprinkles?

Nooshy: Yeah.

Meena: (sighs) Can't you and Johnny ever just talk normally?

Nooshy: (grinning) Where's the fun in that?

What is your favorite head canon for all characters in sing?

Favourite head canon for ALL the characters?? Well, if you’re interested, I do have lots of hcs! These are just some of mine (so it’s ok if you disagree!) :

Buster - He’s physically small, but as someone in charge, he prefers to be seen as bigger. So he stands on the moon prop or stands on objects to be closer to others’ eye level, or even to have them look up at him.

Eddie - I suspect that Nana isn’t the only diva in his family. And his father either runs some sort of successful business or is in show business himself. His father is never around.

Meena - She comes from a very supportive, and very religious, family.

Ash - Doesn’t have a good relationship with her parents; comes from a rough upbringing. Moved out and in with Lance as soon as she could.

Rosita - Has a “live, love, laugh” sign somewhere in her home. Family is everything. Thanksgivings are nuts.

Gunter - has ADHD and is quite a talented creative.

Mike - did not survive the bears 💀

Johnny - Was popular with the girls at school, but hesitated to date anyone seriously. Or maybe he had a serious gf once but because of heartbreak (and family gang stuff) he needed time before getting into another serious relationship.

Alfonso - is interested in “Eastern philosophies” (he’s wearing those beaded bracelets) and is probably into meditation.

Porsha - Mother left when she was young and her rich father spoiled her in place of being there for her. She’s been given anything she wants in place of the attention from her busy father, but her father’s attention is all she ever really wanted. A daddy’s girl and will probably find a sugar daddy to support her.

Klaus - I’m 100% with @picapicamagpie ‘s hc on his history and upbringing! She explains it very well in her fic.

Clay - He went on to do solo tours and reunite with old friends in the industry. He’s healing and moving on from his past.

Nooshy - Also from a rough upbringing. Was homeless at one point.

Miss Crawly - She has been with Moon Theatre longer than anyone else in Sing. She has seen a lot. She has also forgotten a lot.

Nana - Buster’s business partner and, I would assume, oversees the financial aspects of Moon Theatre seeing as it was through her fortune that it was revived. Has had a dynamic life in showbiz. Divorced. Has a lifetime of working hard to acquire fame and fortune. Past experiences have left her bitter and resentful; it’s difficult to trust others; she isolates in her retirement; lives in the past when she was in her prime; is self-absorbed; and has high standards for others and herself. But underneath it all she actually does want to help and give back to the world.

☆ I hope we’ll get a glimpse of a little more into the character’s pasts in the 3rd movie!

Mr Crystal Headcanons

Easy-peasy.ai website helped me to create them! 🤍

Personality • Background:

1. Competitive Childhood: Jimmy grew up in a fiercely competitive family, which is why he is so driven to succeed and has a ruthless, perfectionist personality.

2. Guilty Love for Jazz: While he aggressively promotes pop and mainstream music, Jimmy secretly loves jazz music and even plays the saxophone when no one is around.

3. Color Obsession: He has an obsession with the color purple (as seen from his outfits and office). Purple symbolizes luxury and power, which he craves.

4. Stage Fright: Ironically, despite owning a music production company, Jimmy has a fear of public performances, which may explain his extreme behavior toward performers.

Relationships:

5. Tough-Love Dad: He has a difficult relationship with his daughter, Porsha Crystal. Deep down, he is proud of her talent but struggles to show affection because he struggle to understand his own emotions.

6. Past Rivalries: Jimmy has a long-standing rivalry with Buster Moon’s mentor, Nana Noodleman. They clashed years ago in the entertainment industry, and Jimmy still holds a grudge.

Habits and Hobbies:

7. Luxury Coffee Addict: Jimmy only drinks the rarest, most expensive coffee blends, even if he doesn’t really enjoy the taste.

8. Wolf Pack Loyalty: He secretly hosts annual reunions with his childhood wolf pack, but he pretends it's a "business retreat" to avoid looking soft.

9. Workout Enthusiast: Jimmy works out daily to maintain his intimidating physique, but he tries to avoid getting his fur messy out of vanity.

Secrets and Traits:

10. Hidden Generosity: Despite his gruff exterior, Jimmy occasionally donates anonymously to young struggling artists to help them get their start in the industry.

11. Fear of Aging: He has an intense fear of growing old and becoming irrelevant, which fuels his need to always stay on top in the entertainment world.

12. Regret Over Clay Calloway: Jimmy secretly admired Clay Calloway and regrets the fallout between them but is too prideful to admit it.

Fun Quirks:

13. Signature Howl: At board meetings, Jimmy occasionally ends arguments by howling loudly, startling everyone into silence.

14. Odd Collectibles: He collects vintage microphones and quirky performance props from different eras, which he keeps in a private collection.

15. Unlikely Fear: Jimmy is inexplicably terrified of owls, convinced they’re always judging him with their wide eyes.

These headcanons can be fun to imagine, and they add depth to Jimmy Crystal's character beyond what we see in the movie. Let me know if you'd like me to expand on any of these ideas!

Broken Bonds

(a story requested for @phoenix-the-mistfit-fire-bird)

It was a great night after Buster invited his good friend Amelia to watch his next big show. After the show was done, the group had a meet and greet at the Theater.

After the guests were gone, a mysterious figure which happens to be a leopard entered the theater.

The whole group gathered at the auditorium. "Great job, gang. That was amazing! Mia, glad you can make it."

Mia smiles. "Thanks, mate. Wouldn't want to miss it."

All of a sudden, they heard a strange noise from the backstage area. "What was that?" Nooshy asked.

Mia shook her head. "I don't know. I'll go check it out."

As Mia went to the backstage area, she looked around and there was nothing there, until a shadow figure came behind her and knocked her out.

Everyone was wondering what was going on. "Where is she? She should've been back by now." Rosita said.

Gunter nodded. "Ya."

"Maybe I should go find her. She should be-" Josh stopped after he saw a gun pointing to his head.

The middle aged leopard came out of the backstage area. "Well, well, well. What do we have here."

Everyone was shocked by what was happening.

"Who the hell are you?" Josh said as he stood in fear.

The older leopard grinned. "Names Randy. And I've heard a lot about you, Parker."

Josh's eyes were wide. "After hearing about you dating my boss's daughter, I'm pretty sure he was not happy about it. So, I'm doing him a favor and putting an end to this relationship." Randy said while he cocked the hammer of the gun.

"JOSH!!" Porsha screamed with fear.

In a split second, Randy was knocked out by Mia.

"Mia!" Buster shouted.

Rosita rushed to Mia. "Are you ok, Mia?"

Mia smiles. "I'm fine, Rose. That bloke came out of nowhere and just knocked me out." She said while she put cuffs on Randy's wrists.

"He said he heard about me and Porsha dating, but I'm assuming he heard about the shows we did."

Johnny got off the phone with his father who is on his way to help. "My dad is coming to help, Mia."

"Good." Mia said.

After 15 minutes, Marcus came along with the cops while they took Randy into police custody.

Mia and Josh had told Marcus the same thing of what happened. "Wow. So, that bloke heard about you dating Porsha?"

Josh nodded. "Yeah. Apparently he saw the newspaper or something. Mia, are you sure you're alright?"

Mia chuckles. "Believe me, Josh. I've been through worse, and I'd be happy to tell you about that."

Josh smiles. "I would love to, but right now we need some rest after tonight."

Buster chuckles. "You got that right!."

(Again, sorry if it's short but hope you like it)

Ideas for the Coffee Shop AU

Hey, everyone! Later this month and throughout December, I'll be releasing the first chapters of my newest story idea! But for now, here's the layout for this lovely (if I do say so myself) new idea. I hope you all enjoy reading as much as I'm enjoying writing it.

The Full Moon Brew Coffee Shop is more than just a place to get a cup of coffee. It’s a haven that offers a break from the day-to-day chaos in the city of Calatonia, presided over by one Koala Connoisseur, Buster Moon, a coffee enthusiast as well as a master showman. The Full Moon Brew is a nook of coziness and even creativity. With the air teeming with coffee and creative encouragement, it’s no wonder the place hosts such an eclectic bunch.

Up and coming rocker Ash goes there at least twice a week to get her caffeine fix, but also likes the atmosphere because it helps inspire her songwriting.

Sweet-obsessed and sass-filled Nooshy likes to busk down the road (before meeting the rest of the gang) for extra pocket money to afford her cream and sugar-loaded coffees. And it combines the two things she loves: dancing and coffee. She also enters the occasional contest held at the shop.

Then there’s introverted British newcomer Johnny who spends anywhere from half an hour to sometimes even half the day, at the place, ordering at least three cups of coffee, all while reading or writing songs as well. It’s like a haven in the new city he's moved with his family to following his dad and uncle’s being transferred for a job. Occasionally, on their lunch break, the three older gorillas stop in to get a little bite of the pastries the place offers and of course an espresso-loaded cup or two. Each. They don’t ever stick around long, but they can see why the youngest member of their clan loves the place so much.

Then, we have the equally shy Meena, whose small family business supplies the baked goods to the coffee shop, and Meena occasionally visits both to subtly network for her family’s business, and to try to become more social, since coffee shops are great for being both social and withdrawn. And she loves their smoothies, and is trying to acquire a taste for coffee, but can’t quite do it.

Enter Rosita, the on-the-go mother that does it all, but always makes some time to get a little pick-me-up for herself and do a bit of work to help her husband, for whom she always orders a special cappuccino before she heads to pick up their extensive brood of piglets.

The tea-loving theater legend Nana Noodleman happens to be one of the top investors for Buster’s shop. The place is small but makes a pretty profit, what with having fresh, homemade treats, along with beverages one can’t get just anywhere. And Buster always makes sure to keep a steady supply of fine teas at the ready for Nana. She even has a special table with a high-backed purple velvet chair by the window just beside the patio overlooking the ocean.

The excitable bundle of Piggy Power Gunter occasionally visits the shop, drawn by the musical selection and the open mic nights. Though by his own admission, he comes less for the singing and more for the dancing. And of course, a caffeine fix here and there is needed for such dedicated dancing.

Another new kid enters. Meet Ryan Collins, a student in a nearby dance academy, who happens upon the coffee shop by complete coincidence. He finds that while he doesn’t much care for coffee, he enjoys the chill atmosphere, a welcome reprieve after his hectic classes under the iron fist of Klaus Kickenklober. Plus, who doesn’t occasionally love a Toasted Vanilla or Hazelnut Steamer?

Two new faces also enter this colorful Coffee shop mix, we have the two rich kids Eddie and Porsha, both of whom are working their first jobs ever under the watchful eye of Miss Crawly. Don’t let her age and dottiness fool you, the old Lizard Lady is a brewing MASTER.

Both prove straight away to be a bit…unskilled to say the least, but they slowly start to adapt, with Porsha even scoring huge brownie points when she creates a new drink for the menu.

And finally, the dutiful, efficient, and long-suffering Suki Lane occasionally stops by the shop to get coffee for herself, but also (reluctantly) for her image-obsessed boss who doesn’t like coffee but is quick to associate himself when the little shop starts to gain more attention.

Suki herself may not particularly like Buster, but she does like the coffee. And she does secretly loathe Crystal's dismissal of it. And dismiss it he does. At least until it starts to gain more popularity, at which point he tries to buy it out. But that meeting goes as well as you'd expect.

This version of Buster has a few slightly different traits; poised, knows his worth, and won't sell himself out for a few beans. He knows why Crystal wants the business and is having none of it. First off, because he knows the price Crystal offered is insulting given the profit the place brings in. Second, and more importantly, because his father bought the property, had the building built with his own money, and personally let Buster design the place, the menu, everything. This place is a symbol of everything his dad worked for and gave him. All the while the man was hiding a terminal illness. This last project was a distraction from the inevitable. And Buster will NOT trivialize that sacrifice.

[ash-the-porcupine]

Sneak peak of my new fanfic: "A Million Reasons".

"Buster, wake up before I smack you with this PB&J!" 

A sharp voice was what snapped Buster into ultimate awakening. He swiveled his head towards the irritated facial expressions of one punk-rock porcupine he knew as his daughter/best friend, Ash. A quirky little smirk sprouted on Buster's face quicker than he could say ventriloquist. "Why that sandwich specifically?" he said through a yawn, swinging his office chair around so it would spin in a short circle.

Ash rolled her blue eyes and shoved his shoulder playfully, accidentally knocking him out of the chair to tumble flat on his face. She tried to hold back her laughter, but with limited success. Buster shot her a small glare before sticking his tongue out at her with exaggerated bitterness. Ash knew he was just messing with her, and giggled. "Rehearsals were supposed to have started fifteen minutes ago, you doof!" she teased, throwing his blazer at him. 

She knew him too well. It landed straight on his face. Typical of Ash to do that, really. She'd been staying at the theater for a while, a room had been fixed up for her and everything! She loved it here. Even Porsha had her own room here. It was neat. They were like a big, weird multi-species family. 

Buster was quick to tug on the blue coat and chase the porcupine down the stairs, tripping at least twice in the doing as he ran out and skidded to a stop on the stage. "Good morning, everybody!" He greeted with his characteristic enthusiasm. "Sorry, I slept through my alarm. Peanut butter related violence seems to work better, anyway." 

Ash snickered evilly, taking a bite from the aforementioned sandwich now that her boss and honorary father-figure was awake. "I mean, better than bringing in the Ronald McDonald mask, Moon." Ash reminded, giving him her very vest villain face. Buster shuddered in response, leaving everybody to laugh. 

As Buster handed out papers, they all exchanged pleasant conversation until the main bits of this started. "Now, everyone," Buster announced, clapping his hands together to bring everyone's attention to him. "I want you all to remember that Nana should be showing up at any time today with the owner of Majestic Theater himself! So I need all of you to be on your very best behavior. Looking at you, Nooshy." he said with a playful smirk. 

The lynx raised her paws with a grin. "Guilty." She admitted, a quirky tilt of her ears topping off the expression. "I'm too awesome. Can't unleash my charms here." Nooshy looked at Johnny, who stood beside her. "I got the rizz, too." she purred in a husky voice, simply to toy with the gorilla, who's face went bright red.

"I'm not going to ask what rizz is, but everyone understand? We've gotta be at our very best today!" Buster was good at taking on a commanding tone when necessary, a trait that was found to be rather admirable when compared to his natural, upbeat disposition. "If I find marshmallows in the piano again, we're bringing in Commander Crawly."

Commander Crawly, as Buster had titled it, was the old lizard's serious side - which reminded Buster of a Drill Sergeant more than anything. It was quite amusing when you weren't the one having orders barked at you. Everyone in the room was half on-edge and half amused by Buster's final statement, and a serious of "Yes, sir, Mr. Moon!"s filled the atmosphere. 

Buster chuckled knowingly. He could see Crawly simply basking in this on the side of the room as she played her usual morning round of Candy Crush, while simultaneously sipping a caramel frappe she had somehow found the time to retrieve from Arlo's, down the street. Best dessert shop in Calatonia, really. 

Ash wondered vaguely how Buster always managed to wake up so easily and get moving in the morning. She had to throw herself off the side of the bed just to convince her brain to work. It was actually quite entertaining to witness. Porsha was certainly not a morning person either, even just judging by the fact that the wolf - who stood beside Ash, drowsily sipping a coffee - was still in her pajama pants. Buster clearly had noticed as well.

"Porsha, if Nana's swinging by, pants may be necessary. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news." He said, his tone one of fond teasing if anything. Porsha looked down and muttered an incoherent curse, apparently not having realized she was still wearing PJs before now. It took everything within Buster not to laugh. 

Porsha sighed and walked off, coffee cup in hand, to go fix that. "Dream crusher." she joked as she trudged past. 

"Someone had to fill the position!" Buster looked down at his clipboard with a hum before analyzing his crew. They were all reading through the song pages they had been handed. They had about an hour to rehearse before Nana arrived, and if all went well, they would be rewarded for their efforts with whatever they chose to do. Buster was always happy to pay for some treats or a movie for his crew. 

He soon sat down in his usual place in the front row as Crawly brought him a cup of coffee and the rough draft of his latest script for him to edit. This was the hardest part for him to do. Buster struggled to focus sometimes. When writing, his hands where always moving and his mind was n hyperdrive. Editing, however, was a slow process that required him to sit completely still other the occasional highlighting of a line for long periods of time - something that was hard for him, due to being a bit of a busybody. 

Nooshy, as well, had this trait. She would get bored if she was seated or having to stay still for any longer than twenty or thirty minutes. When they went to the cinema, Nooshy had swung her legs back and forth into the back of Buster's seat for most of the duration of the movie. He hadn't minded too much, but it was a bit annoying to listen to. 

Buster thanked Crawly for the coffee as he read through the papers, scanned for errors, typos, or lines that could be improved. Once or twice, he ran the yellow highlighter over a line of dialogue, reminding himself to fix it, or the red one to remind him to cut that line from the script. 

It both felt like a mere moment and an eternity as the hour slipped by, and soon they were rehearsing on stage (having practiced in the back enough to perform for Buster with moderate confidence). Meena came first. She had an uncanny habit of memorizing her papers with astounding speed. She'd gotten much braver, too, overcoming stage fright over the few years she'd been with Moon Theater.

Buster was more than happy to listen as she sang her assigned song, birthday cake, by Dylan Conrique. It was sad, but a beautiful song. The play they were working on was quite the concoction, a mixture of melancholy and vibrant. As Buster viewed it, it would be a masterpiece. 

It was the middle of Rosita and Porsha's (quite intense) duet of Dandelion by Gabbie Hanna that the theater doors boomed open and in strode Nana, followed closely by a panther. His fur was a dark shade of grey and his head was held high, regarding the people with a rather snooty look from his dark brown eyes. He held a cane, but didn't use it. He wore light grey suit with a white button-up shirt, an outfit completed by a grey bowtie. 

Buster felt a bit intimidated as the panther came to a halt in front of him, but every doubt was destroyed a moment later when the visitor loosened up and looked down at Buster with a bit friendly smile, all the the haughty, arrogant attitude fading in an instant. The panther was simply playing with him! "Tyson Myers!" The panther announced, extending a hand with an inviting, enthusiastic tone.

Buster eased up a little and shook his large hand, nodding in approval. "Buster Moon. Nice to meet you, sir." he introduced politely, his anxiety draining away faster with every moment. Tyson's smile held no malice, and he insisted on shaking everyone's hand as Buster's crew came in to meet the owner of the Majestic. Nana looked half exasperated and half amused by Tyson's display. 

When he got to Ash, the porcupine regarded him with a skeptical side-eye, looking suspicious of the panther. "So, Mr. Moon," Tyson said, "As Nana may have told you, I'm here because - after your performance of Out of This World at my theater, I'm interested!" Tyson declared cheerfully. He had a thick and distinctly British accent, very different from Johnny's more subtle Welsh one. Many people mistook Johnny as British, but they would have come to a different conclusion once they heard Mr. Myers speak. 

Buster nodded in acknowledgement to Tyson's words, diverting every bit of attention to it. Porsha stood to the side, watching Tyson closely. She was much less tense than Ash appeared, but held an equal amount of distrust deep down. After what happened with her dad, this was justifiable. 

"You see, that show brought in more audiences than we've had in years! And I was wondering if you'd be up to my little suggestion…" Tyson seemed to take on a more thoughtful tone, musing the matter with a rather difficult expression to read. Buster exchanged glances with Rosita before tilting his head.

"Well, sir, what did you have in mind?" Buster asked, fairly sure he wasn't looking at another Jimmy Crystal anymore, the threat still fresh in his mind. He still regularly suffered from the memory, but as each minute passed, the threat of Tyson seemed to diminish. 

Tyson's black lips perked in a smile. "What would you and your crew think of a nation-wide tour?" he asked, looking a cross between mischievous and thrilled at the mere idea. "If you all would be willing, I think it would be simply magnificent if you could hit the major theaters of mine in each state, finishing it off with a big new show! You can re-use ones you've made previously through the duration of it, but a big, new, original finale!" 

The enthusiasm in the panther's voice was rivaling the heights of Buster's own ecstatic words before a new big show. Buster's grin was growing by the moment, but he tried to keep his mind and words level and calm. Keeping a level head was something he'd had many chats with Rosita about since the incident with Crystal. 

He looked around to his friends, who sat patiently on the edge of the stage, who only watched with expressions ranging from blank, to suspicious, to thrill. He glanced back to Nana and Tyson. "Well, I'll have to talk to my friends, but I'll certainly consider the offer, sir!"

Tyson nodded in acceptance, his mood not dampened even a bit. He shook Buster's hand once more, slipping a card into it in the doing. "Great! I hope to hear from you before the week is up. I look forward to it." the panther stated surely before walking down the aisle and out the theater doors, going to sit against Nana's limo.

Nana sighed at the man's behavior, shaking her head. "He's such an air-headed man." She said, "However… I won't deny being fond of the lad." 

Tyson and Nana had been friends for years, for Nana was once a performer at his theater. Buster had a few questions, but had the experience to keep them to himself. "See that you put due thought into his proposal, Mr. Moon." Nana reminded. "And Rosita?" she inquired, turning to face the sow. "Make sure he doesn't do anything foolish."

"Yes, ma'am, Ms. Noodleman." Rosita agreed with a confident nod, poking Buster's ribs teasingly. She didn't plan to do so much as let him out of her sight. Buster was well-aware of this, too, as they watched Nana stride from the theater - more troubles on her mind than Buster would have ever guessed. 

A while later, the troupe sat in a circle, conversing with one another in hushed tones. They were trying to decide what to make of this. Buster had been prepared for some spontaneous, strange, or simple, but this was way different. Tyson had failed to mention just how long the tour would be, but he knew it was be at least fifty days if they were to tour the whole country - to hit more than one state in a day was absurd. 

Buster took a long, thoughtful breath, returning to reality. "What about my kids?" Rosita asked, a more than valid point of reasoning. "I can't just leave Norman here to take care of them, and how could I cart all of them with us? Summer or not, that's ridiculous!"

Buster nodded in acknowledgement. "I understand, Rosita. And we will figure this out. And you know what? If we can't find a good solution, we just won't go. I'm not going to force anyone into doing this." he said, holding his paws up as if defending himself. 

The room fell quiet for a moment as Rosita looked at him. "Are you serious? You'd call off the whole trip just because of the situation with my kids?" She appeared to be surprised by Buster's statement, stunned that he would do such a thing. She knew how much this probably meant to him, so it was a gesture she was more than grateful for. 

Buster nodded. "Of course. I understand." he said. "Besides, I've babysat them all myself, Rosita. I know they can be a handful. We have until the end of the week, okay? Don't stress out too much over it." he reminded, setting a paw on top of her hoof for a moment in a supportive attempt at comfort.

She smiled a bit. "Thank you, Buster." she said, feeling a little bit better now. However, the next to speak was Ash, and she appeared to have her feathers in quite a ruffle. Erm, fur.

"But- Buster! How are you supposed to sort EVERYTHING out?! Johnny and Nooshy help Marcus at the Auto Shop, Porsha has a job, I play at the night clubs, we don't even know WHAT Gunter does, and some of those plays require CLAY! He's all the way in Redshore! How can we bring him back here in time for that anyway, assuming he even agrees?!" Ash said, putting only a few things out there out of everything. 

"Yeah, Mr. Moon. I want to come, of course, but what about my family? I'm supposed to help my mom with my grandparents. Redshore was just a few weeks, but this could be a few MONTHS!" Meena pointed out. 

Buster held his hands up in an inaudible hope for silence. "Listen, I know this is a mess, and kind of all-at-once. I will talk to Marcus, and I'll figure out the job things. Not too worried about Gunter. He can talk anyone into anything at any time. He's got a skill. As for Clay, you have his contact. We can talk to him together, alright? As for you, Meena… I see what you're saying, I acknowledge it, and I promise you we will figure it out. As I said, it isn't completely confirmed that we're going yet. So just try and calm down a little, guys. Meena, Johnny, Rosita: just gently bring the idea up to your families when you find a good time." he said, about to add on but was cut off by Ash.

"Moon, this is completely unreasonable!" Ash groaned. "How are there even solutions for some of this?! And, just saying, unless you can magically bring Suki-the-babysitting-wonder along with us, even just Rosita's kids bring up a BIG problem!"

"That's actually not a bad idea, Ash!" Buster praised with a big smile, snapping his  fingers. He looked at Porsha, who shared the expression that came with the bright idea. 

"Don't even think about it, Moon. Suki's got bigger fish to fry than you going on a tour with us. I mean, seriously. And I'm sure Jerry's not making her job any easier." Ash pointed out with a huff of indignation. 

"But Suki could help!" Porsha cried. "I mean, she pretty much raised me!" The wolf insisted. A serious of shouts and sentences and general clamor rose up throughout the group, leading Buster to smash his ears flat against his head to try and block out the noise. 

"BE QUIET!"

The uncharacteristic shout was what caused the room to fall silent, and everyone to lower themselves back to the ground. Buster gave them all a sharp glare, slowly letting his hands fall back to the ground after silencing them all. "We'll work this out, okay? But fighting won't solve anything. It won't! You've all got to cool down. Just… go home, alright…? Get some sleep. We'll continue this in the morning." 

And with that, Buster stood up and walked off, heading up the stairs to his office with a rather tired, defeated expression. "Moon…" Ash sighed, going after him. Geez, that got messy, fast. The remaining troupe members exchanged brief looks, slow to filter out from the theater, wondering what happens next?

………

Meena sat beside her mom as the dinner table, her grandparents across from her. She picked at her food slightly, deep in thought. Her mother seemed to pick up on how withdrawn Meena was this evening. "Meena?" She finally questioned, setting down her fork. "Anything happen at the thester today?"

Meena glanced at her mother, Betty, with a nervous look. "Well, we got invited to do a tour. Across the whole entire country." Meena sighed softly as she got it out, not having much else to say yet. This caught the attention of both of her grandparents - Fredrick and Elenore. 

Elenora stood and hugged her granddaughter in sheer joy, bouncing as much as her old legs would allow. "Oh, Meena, that's great!" she shouted, and Fredrick gave an approving grunt.

"Well, why so glum about it?" Betty laughed, squeezing her daughter's shoulder with a smile. It was hard for Meena to put into words what she was thinking, because there was so much emotional weight attached to it. She wanted to go on the tour, of course she did, but what if her family wouldn't - or couldn't - allow it. 

"Well, I'm supposed to help you, mom…" Meena mumbled awkwardly, shoving her hands into her pockets. 

Meena was expecting some down-beat response or sympathetic word or even an exclamation from her grandpa, but instead was met with a long, clear laugh. "Oh, no, sweetheart!" Betta said through her good-natured laughter. "You take this! This is a special apportunity. We can manage just fine. You tell that koala you'll be there!" Betty said, and a smile began to spread across the young elephant's features. 

She then hugged her mom, completely abandoning her plate as she ran to her room to call Mr. Moon and tell him the good news. 

At Johnny's, however, it was a different story…

…

"So, um, dad, you know how I told you we were gonna be seeing this major theater owner? Y'know, the guy that owns the Majestic?" Johnny asked, moving a spare tire to the other end of the Auto Shop while Nooshy fiddled with various wrenches. 

"Yeah? Well, what about 'im?" Marcus questioned, calling to Stan and Barry, who were playing pool in the back, to "OI, QUIET DOWN BACK THERE!" Which was followed by a series of apologetic shouts. 

Johnny sighed. "Well, basically, we got invited to a tour." Johnny stated with a nervous tone. 

"Okay. And?"

"Oh, for the love of Pete on the mantle, John!" Nooshy cackled, standing up and brushing herself off. "We got invited to tour the country! Performing at the different theater's of Mr. Myers' in each state! And Johnny and I were wondering if that was alright with you." 

Marcus seemed to consider Nooshy's words for a moment, putting them into utmost consideration. "I dunno, kiddo. We got a lot o' work around 'ere."

Johnny grew a bit desperate, and in a rare burst of defiant confidence, he shook his head and stepped in front of Nooshy. "Come on, dad, please! This would be a good opportunity - really! I know it'd be som extra work for y'all down here, but-"

"'Ey, hold yer horses, Johnny." Marcus sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Look, I get that you wanna go, but I don't know how long it'll last, a'ight? And I can't hold down the fort without ya! This shop's gettin' busier by the day! You kids know that." Marcus reminded with an indignant grumble. 

"I know that." Johnny sighed, shoulders slumping a bit. "But isn't there any way we could convince you?" he asked. Marcus seemed to really let the words sink in as he leaning against the wall of the garage, rubbing the grease from the car he'd been working on off his hands. The larger gorilla glanced over at his brothers, who were now watching the conversation with eager expressions. 

Barry was more passive about the situation, not caring overall whether Johnny and Nooshy stayed or went. Though, a small part of him was rooting for the kids. Stan, however, was openly supporting the young duo, being far more energetic, extroverted, and opinionated than Barry. 

"Now, come on, Marcus!" Stan said. "Johnny's always pulled 'is weight around here, why not give the two a chance to spread their wings a bit? Let 'em take the tour! Barry and I will help you, alright? And, ya know, Dexter still owes us a favor, mate." He reminded. 

Dexter was a former rival of theirs back when they were a gang, and after Marcus had pulled some strings to help Dexter and his buddies get out of a pickle, the polar bear owed them a favor. 

Marcus rubbed his chin. "I s'pose he does…" he thought, "We could have him and one of his buddies help us out while you kids are gone. Alright. Fine. You kids can go." Marcus agreed with a sigh. Cheers of excitement and joy broke out between the two young adults, and they exchanged high fives and happy cries. "On one condition." Marcus added. 

The jubilant cheers died down a bit and Johnny cocked his head slightly, waiting for his dad to say what he wanted them to do. Surprising them, Marcus simply opened his arms wide. "Ya both 'ave to give me a hug." He stated with a lopsided grin, and both the animals in front of him were more than happy to oblige. When they let go, Marcus expressed concern over a topic. "What about this Myers fella, eh? You think he's like that old ass, Crystal? I don't think Moon can take another fall like that one; just sayin'."

Nooshy shook her head. "Aw, no way, sir. We met the guy. He's a lot like the Moon Man, actually." she pointed out, applying the nickname with a fond note to her voice. "You're right though, and we'll be keeping an eye on him. I'll bet Rosita has a chat with him, too, if we go…" 

…

Rosita hummed quietly to herself as she did the dishes, the kids having already been sent to bed. She checked the time. Eight o'clock. Norman would be home at any minute at this point, and she was eagerly awaiting the moment. 

It wasn't long before a click of the doorknob and a familiar "I'm home, honey!" filled the small home and Rosita rushed over to greet him, kissing his cheek with a smile. "Good to see you, too, Rosita." Norman said, pecking her back with similar affection. "What's goy you so excited?" 

"Well, Norman, I need to talk to you about something…"

Topher Rhee : The Mastermind

Topher Rhee is a highly respected CEO in the entertainment world. In 2005 he founded RHEE SOUND STUDIOS with his twin sister, Porsha Rhee. The studio was not an overnight success. They spent many years begging local banks for loans. They would lose trainees more often than not from mediocre teachers who turned children away from stardom. He would only visit home once a year from 2005 - 2009. In 2010 the company struck gold with PINKNESS, a ten-member girl group with a sugary pink concept. PINKNESS took over South Korea by storm. Since then, every group from RHEE SOUND STUDIOS has been a hit. Topher is so confident in his ability to succeed that he made sure to involve all of his children with the company. Ronan is in his best selling boy group, Oona is in a girl group that dips their toes into rock and has award-winning actresses, and Ciara is in a trio where they have more modeling contracts than albums. He wanted to involve Nuala, but she didn't fit anywhere in the company. Topher was reluctant to let her go, for she was arguably his best songwriter, but now he wants her back. He sees the money she is making for PARADISO Studios and he wants wants her back. He doesn't want to beg her to come back, but he's not above pressuring and using money to return her to the family business.

Hong Boyeon : The Wreck

Hong Boyeon was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She comes from a family of lawyers, doctors, and investment brokers. When she met Topher he was a nobody. With help from her family she turned him into a somebody. They were the ones giving him just enough money to skirt around the business foreclosing and were just distant enough that he begged for their approval. She is an obsessive person. When Topher is around, he is her only thought. When he left, her obsession transferred over to her only son, Ronan. She is a horrible mother. Her girls never had the female role model they needed, so they would seek out a mother figure in anyone older than them. Boyeon does not see herself as a poor excuse for a mother. Rather, she likes to throw in their face how bad they make her feel when the children express valid complaints. She can never be wrong. How can a mother ever be wrong? As she ages her mental state has gotten worse. Her mother passed away with dementia, the kids suspect Boyeon will suffer the same fate.

Ronan Rhee : The Doting Older Brother

When he was supposed to be a boy he was forced to be a father. As his mother's life was crumbling he was forced to wash children, feed them, and help them with their homework. He was never truly allowed to be a child. He prides himself on being responsible and mature for his age. Never once has he acted out in his childhood or his adult life. His siblings pity him. They wish he could be carefree for once in his life. Topher puts a lot of pressure on him to be the best singer, the best leader, the best idol ever. He doesn't know how to let others shoulder the weight of his sorrows. Those close to him fear that he'll reach his breaking point one day, and they won't know how to help him.

Oona Rhee : The Mean One

For most of her life, Oona was known as the ugly duckling of the family. She didn't really look like her father or mother, she looked like a monster to them. She had big round cheeks, a buttery soft jaw, and paper thin lips. Boyeon never called her daughter pretty until she had surgery to perfect her flaws. Oona was always the angry child. Her anger was born from a place of loneliness and jealousy. She just wanted to be loved by her parents. This anger festered and grew until she hated everyone. Her words are often short and clipped. She will attack if one's tone is even the slightest bit off. She has the bite of a bad dog and doesn't know how to change. Oona doesn't even know if she wants to change. It's easier to keep people out than let them in.

Ciara Rhee : The Spoiled Brat

It is still unknown to the older children why Ciara is the favorite. She doesn't excel in singing, dancing, or acting. She isn't the most polite and she never works for what she wants. She gets the love her siblings have to fight for. Ciara wants to be friends with her siblings, but until she can recognize her spoiled ways that will not happen.

Jin Kiyoung : The Washed Up Boyfriend

Kiyoung doesn't really love Nuala. He never loved her at all, even when he started pursuing her. At first she was just someone to fuck when his other girls were out of town, but once he found out she was amazing at creating music Kiyoung knew he had to stick around. Nuala is the sole reason he still has a career. He's waiting for enough Nuala created songs to pile up before dipping, so he can have a few years left in the industry before retiring to something else. Poor Nuala doesn't know she's being used.

Mali Finch-Noy : The Partner In Crime

Mali is a producer that worked at RHEE SOUND STUDIOS. She was a prolific member of the producing group before getting poached by PARADISO STUDIOS. She was working on songs for their up coming co-ed group before the CEO removed her from the project and stuck her with Nuala. Neither of them were happy with the decision. Nuala wanted to do her own thing and Mali is known for having a more sugary sweet, bubble-gummy style with both her lyrics and production as a whole. Nuala didn't want to be brought down by a style that was not her own. The first three projects they worked on together are ones they both equally hate, but after spending time together they grew to respect one another.

[hoperays-song]

On a scale of "master chef" to "could set a bowl of cereal on fire", how are the Sing characters at cooking?

Oooooo, great ask! Thank you! Here's a bit of an explanation and a rating from 1-10 (10 being the best). I hope you enjoy! -<3 Gooseless

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

Ash: 5

She's starting to learn how to cook from Rosita after Sing 1 but before that she was mainly surviving off of fast food. She never learned to cook from her parents as they often weren't home and she herself left home young. She's not horrible but not the best by any means.

Barry: 6

He can cook but only a few basic things like grilled cheese and oatmeal. While preferring not to cook, he does have to as Stan cannot and they were in charge of watching Johnny when he was little.

Buster: 2

...He can make sandwiches and that's about it. Even some of those flavour combinations can be extremely questionable.

Clay: 9

He is an amazing chef, having learned from both sides of his family. He cooks a fair mix of both Cajun and Irish dishes and briefly considered being a chef before pursuing music. He now is focusing on teaching Ash some of his recipes. Cooking is essentially a love language for him and he will bring food to almost any gathering.

Darius: 1

Burned cup Mac and Cheese and nearly got kicked out of his apartment... enough said.

Eddie: 2

He can heat up Cup Noodles safer than Buster can and make a few sandwiches... but that's about it.

Gunter: 3

The fanciest thing Gunter can make is boxed Mac and Cheese and he will forget the ingredients in even that. He can actually tell what flavours go together unlike some others but also always burns toast. He isn't that good at this.

Harry: 2

While he can make like a PB&J sandwich, there's a reason they and Darius mostly eat fast food. He sucks at cooking, not as bad as Darius but that's a very low bar.

Johnny: 7

Grew up with tons of home-cooked meals by both his dad and his neighbors, he's surprisingly good at cooking. He does need to follow a recipe exactly but he started practicing more when he lived with Rosita and has kept that practice going into the Majestic stay with phone calls to his dad for help. A lot of his happy childhood memories are cooking with his dad.

Marcus: 9

He learned to cook for his wife when she got too sick to be able to do so. He uses his wife's old cookbook to this day (her father was a chef) and is very good at it. Cooking is essentially a love language for him and he makes sure that when Johnny is at home he gets at least two home-cooked meals a day. He's had over 18 years of practice so he's a very good chef.

Meena: 7

She is much better at baking than cooking but she does know a few recipes. Her grandparents were actually the ones to teach her their old recipes when it comes to savory foods while her mom taught her deserts. She's good but she does credit that too a lot of practice as she much prefers working with sweeter foods. Most of her childhood was spent in the kitchen with her family though and it was a huge family bonding thing for them.

Mike: 1

He does not even know how to boil water.

Mrs. Crawly: 4

Not horrible but will commonly forget what she's cooking or what she already added so you never know what you're gonna get. She can make really good Turkish Delights though.

Nana: 6

While she is a decent cook, she doesn't have to cook for herself and therefore has fallen out of practice doing so. She is still disappointed in Eddie and Buster's cooking abilities.

Nancy: 5

She knows the basics but nothing even close to fancy. She and Mike eat out a lot.

Nooshy: 1

Has legit burned water while trying to boil it, they are not allowed with arms-reach of even a microwave. They are as bad as Darius.

Norman: 6

Decent chef, he knows how to make a few basics for the kids but he's never really been one to be talented in the kitchen. The most unique dish he can make is roasted potatoes.

Porsha: 1

She has never cooked a day in her life and has no idea what to do or where to start.

Rosita: 9

Rosita is an amazing cook and grew up helping her grandmother in the kitchen. She is constantly coming up with creative ways to get the kids to eat and try new foods. Rosita also has several family recipe books that she uses for most of her meals. She also taught Meena, Ash, and Johnny a lot of basics when it came to cooking. It functions as a love language for her as it allows her to take care of others.

Ryan: 6

Food is really difficult for him for various different reasons but he can cook. He is pretty decent at it, learning how to to help with his sisters, even though everyone always exaggerates how bad he actually is. His manman and mom taught his growing up.

Stan: 2

He once nearly got him and Barry evicted for starting a fire in a microwave. Marcus will not let him cook for his son in any way shape or form. Stan is a terrible chef and more than happy to let others cook for him.

Suki: 8

She's lived alone almost all her life and going out to eat in Redshore is crazy expensive. She taught herself to cook with the occasional help of some of her old mentors. Suki is pretty good at it and specializes in stir-frys as they are quick to make after work.

Idk about yall but illuminations make the cutest fucking models ever. In fucking existence.

I’ve actually mainly only watched 2 different types of movies they made (minions and despicable me are the same series and then sing)

You guys can’t tell me the minion models (ESPECIALLY THE MAIN THREE KEVIN, STEWART AND BOB) aren’t fucking adorable. Idc how many Facebook moms use them for HORRIBLE memes but god DAMN IT.

Also gru as a child. Coke on. His model + his voice is fucking adorable. And I hate kids.

Need I say anything? Buster, Porsha, johnny, Rosita, ash, gunter and hell even crawly are cute (the best being buster porsha and Rosita)

I hate porcupines, pigs, koalas and gorillas looks. Hate them. But illuminations has the ability to make these things I HATE into something adorable af.

Now thinking of it I think illuminations made me like gorillas and koalas looks (especially baby koalas omfg). I always say koalas are like the pugs of the tree dwellers, so ugly that they’re cute.

I used to think koalas second thumb looked weird but growing up is realizing koalas and their silly hands are fucking cute‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Also Nooshy. I just love lynx.

[tigresslanzhu]

My longest tier.

Betty and Lajila: So sweet!

Clay: Grumpy yet loveable!

Porsha: Her development was great too! It just sucks that her father was a big fat jerk! More on that later!

Marcus and his brothers: They need a spin off too!

Gunter: If only he had more of a chance to have actual conflicts.

Q-Tees: Okay, NOW we start criticizing. How did these designs pass the drawing board! Eyes often closed, buck teeth… These are outdated Asian caricatures! I do love how they were inspired by school idols, though.

Karen: You guys just had to go there with the name, didn’t you? Just let her do her job?

“No one’s allowed in without an appointment or connections!”

[bohemian-nights]

since sophie is a black woman, i hope that shonda does have more input there. like that’s her bread and butter, i knows there’s multiple black women in the room, but i still want shonda to write that, like she’ll serve! i think the mistake with this season was not having a whole season of colin pining. it could’ve worked if we saw more yearning from his side. frannie and john are so beautiful, they were more romantic and sweet, a huge stand out for me.

Shonda definitely needs to step in for our queen Sophie and our messy but lovable art hoe Benedict cause this season has been subpar so far.

Now in terms of this season, Colin doesn’t pin for Penelope in the books and it works so that wasn’t really the problem. The problem is that the leads still don’t have chemistry, Colin is not leading man material, the ton is truthfully getting boring, and the show needs to quit it with the 21 million different sideplots.

I’m probably going to piss some people off, but 75% of these characters need to go.

Unless Lady Danburys brother is going to marry Violet he should be a one season and done character.

I love to see Black love on screen, but Will and Alice are not necessary to the plot. In fact the only reason why they are being propped up is because of the Featheringtons. If they are related to Sophie they can stay, but they aren’t adding to the plot.

The Featheringtons after this season should be gone. I’ve always loved Porsha, but even she’s getting stale. The whole baby Lord Featherington plot can be wrapped up in the last five minutes ala Simon and Daphne style. I don’t want to see these hideously dressed people on my screen any longer.

Yes I’m aware of little Agatha being their firstborn, but like with Simon and Daphne they can retcon things and have Penelope give birth to a son that way we can be done with this,

The Cowpers, where do I start with them? I know people want them to be Sophie’s stepfamily and there is the whole Araminta thing, but I personally hate them more than the Featheringtons.

Cressida doesn’t need to be redeemed(shows need to stop trying to make assholes nice), her parents are not interesting, and I’m tired of seeing boring people on my screen. If they are actually Sophie’s stepfamily Shondaland made the wrong decision.

Probably my most controversial take, but returning couples don’t really need to be in anything more than one or two episodes. Kanthony being mostly MIA was not a deal breaker for me. If I’m being 100% honest I did not miss them at all 🤷🏽‍♀️(I’ll return to this).

I don’t really care about Eloise so I won’t mention her much. Also because I know she’s next after Benedict her story needs to be developed so just chuck her with Frannie and John in Scotland.

I love, love, love Queen Charlotte, long may she reign, but unless she’s somehow related to Sophie she needs to be limited. At most she should only be there for one of two episodes. Her presence isn’t needed beyond that.

Frannie and John are really cute(I’m going to gif ever last scene they are in together 🙌🏽).They are the only thing about this season that I have liked. You’ll hear no complaints from me with their screen-time.

Back to the returning couples issue also Benophie season shouldn’t be the Kanthony and Benophie season or the Polin and Benophie season. It should be Benophies season.

We do not need to see any of these people for more than one or two episodes. They would’ve had there time by then. If we have to switch back to some other couple it should be Frannie and John or Eloise.

And in case anyone thinks I’m being a hypocrite, I don’t care if Sophie and Benedict only are in two episodes by the time season 5 rolls around. I definitely don’t care if they are completely gone from the show by season 6. Returning couples are not needed like that.

Overall I’m getting sick of the ton. I don’t care about the debutants. I don’t care about their family’s. The balls and soirées are pretty to look at, but they add nothing. These pointless love triangles add nothing. These side characters add nothing. Whistledown adds nothing. I’m bored. This show is boring me.

Bridgerton needs a new setting and new blood. So it’s time to say goodbye to the ton and hello to the country. It’s time for Shonda to step back in like what she did with QC and give Benophie the season they deserve especially after the fact that they have been skipped.

The focus should be on them and their love story.

I need the drama, I need the mess, and I need Benedict obsessing over Sophie from the moment they meet cause who wouldn’t obsess over this:

Trust and believe Benophie can stand on its own.

And for love of all that is holy, Netflix needs to find some other way of keeping subscribers than splitting the show in two or three parts.

Excuses from the Sing fandom and Hollywood

These are the excuses I get from the Sing fans (as well as from Hollywood, I assume) why they won't do the kind of stories I want. "We're sick of wolves being evil" "He's a lonely rich man who needs someone" "Bobby Cannavale needs to play more good guys" (while I can agree with that, I don't care about Jimmy reforming or not) "A wolf marrying a Saluki is more realistic" "Audiences love redemption arcs" "Johnny needs a mom, even one his age because it exists in real life" "Women need big, strong men for a shoulder to cry on and no other type of man will do, they have to big be big or nothing" "Bobby Cannavale and Chelsea Peretti are for perfect for each other in animated animal form" "Older man-younger woman couples are normal and not woke" "Klaus suffers from his art and needs someone" "Garth Jennings hates interspecies pairings" "Nooshy, Porsha, or Ash are the type of woman to like scrawny wimpy boys, not Suki" "Villains need girlfriends more than heroes do" "Salukis aren't meant to have the kid-liked characters as friends" "Jimmy and Redshore City are her whole world" "The Moon Troupe has problems, Suki doesn't" "Porsha has problems, Suki doesn't" "Introverts don't have stories to tell in a movie targeted towards kids, why start now?"

WHEN WILL IT FREAKING END?!!
