#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.

[tigresslanzhu]

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?

[cutekoala1001]

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!

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]

I love how Illumination shows that Buster is ambidextrous, it's just such a fun little thing to me (who can also use both hands fairly equally, apart from writing).

Other things I like?

The way Ash's quills clack against the door in Sing 1. I like the way they are flexible, too. And how she has one of her own and one of Lance's quills in her shirt in the first movie - judging by the subtle color differences in the two quills.

The two vague "Back to the Future" references. Buster jumping off the side of the theater and Ash's pose at the end of her performance.

The worn look of Rosita's apartment door lock.

Buster's diploma from the Modern Drama institute, and the photo of his father on his desk.

The little label "Scripts" on the filing cabinet in Crawly's office.

How he has "5 dollars for cookies" on the paper in his money box, as well as for printing paper and such.

The fact that all Johnny's clothes in the first movie are clearly too big for him and likely hand-me-downs, and the fact that in the second movie there is a seam across the tank top he wears that I'm pretty sure shouldn't be there-

Hand speech. So detailed. I LOVE IT. Especially as a bit of a hand speaker myself when I'm trying to make a point.

The way Buster doesn't like it when people touch his laptop. I feel ya, man. Someone touches my kindle or phone, I go Rage Mode.

Porsha's room. Need I say more?

The fact that Jerry is in one of Jimmy's lavish paintings in his office <3

The fact that Porsha's name is spelled "Porsha" instead of the stereotypical "Portia".

Need I go on?

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.

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.

[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.

[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?!!

[via-rant]

I need to talk about Sing 2 and how Johnny's story is my absolute favorite out of all of theirs!!

This movie is a cinematic masterpiece! An absolute fucking phenomenon!! Every story is different, and you can tell how much they care for each other (except for Darius Idk why they didn't fire him.) And the raw EMOTION in every scene is absolutely stunning!!! It's the same plot as the first movie right? Moon does anything to get famous so he can be good enough. But they do it so much BETTER in the second one!! Not only because they added fucking MURDER ATTEMPTS, but because they did such a better job at each of them overcoming their own obstacles rather then them just singing about it!! Each song in the play matched overcoming their struggles extremely well!! Porsha not following her dad in being a grade A asshole, Clay overcoming his fear after over fifteen years by feeling his wife's presence (I was fucking sobbing!!), Moon finally having the courage to realize he is good enough without a big guy like Crystal telling him otherwise, Meena getting comfortable with the kiss scene by imagining her crush, and Johnny!!! (I didn't like Rosita's story that much. Idk why.)

I love his the most because he's facing what he did in the first movie times A THOUSAND!! The emotional and physical abuse he goes through the entire movie by a choreographers high expectations is heartbreaking and the montage of him failing over and over again I could FEEL his anxiety!! The big emotions he feels after the montage, him looking at his shaking hands, when he tosses his skateboard and breaks it and the regret he felt afterwards was just so fucking GOOD!! You can tell it was getting to his head!! And he gets help from Nooshy and Kicknklobber (what kind of dumbass name?) being angry about him seeking help and he's like "no you're great." Because he's scared of him!! But Nooshy helps him overcome that fear especially in the play!!! He almost gives up almost!! But he gets back up and starts singing again and the way he screams it and the dance he does that's fueled by pure ANGER because he's NOT TOLERATING THIS ANYMORE!! HE'S NOT TAKING SHIT FROM THIS GRADE A ASSHOLE ANYMORE!!! The man deserved that slap!!

Anyway I love this movie. If you couldn't tell. Please go watch it it's so good.

Porsha is Coming Back to RHOA!

Andy Cohen just announced on WWHL that Porsha Guobadia is coming back to RHOA!

Love her or hate her, but this is big news for Bravo and RHOA.

Even after Kandi Burruss announced quite unexpectedly that she was leaving RHOA, I still thought it was highly unlikely that Porsha would return to the show.

She would rather leave the show than address the shady start of her relationship with Simon Guobadia, and I didn’t see that changing anytime soon.

There were rumours on social media, but nothing is official until Andy, Bravo or the women themselves announces it.

Andy also posted on Instagram:

In Kenya Moore’s interview with Carlos King, she spoke highly of Porsha and how they were able to make good TV together.

Since they’ve always been at each other’s throats it was quite surprising to hear Kenya speak so positive of Porsha.

Maybe this was an olive branch or a big signal to Bravo?

I still view Kenya’s interview with Carlos as a cry for help: “RHOA is in trouble! Get Porsha back!”

The question that’s still on my mind is which Porsha will we get? The one who’s willing to share her real life or the one who’s running away from hard questions?

One of the reasons why she left RHOA was because she didn’t want to talk about how she got together with Simon.

And she still needs to answer to those questions even if she has been away for a while.

The producers should’ve learned their lesson with Drew Sidora. Don’t let the housewives run along with a false narrative!

Porsha tried it on Porsha’s Family Matters, and it failed miserably.

The producers confronted her in front of the cameras that she was clearly lying.

She has a story to tell, unlike the others, but will she actually use her story?

I’ve made it perfectly clear that I’m no longer a fan of her, but I can’t deny that she has got entertaining values.

That was obvious with RHUGT3.

Porsha is funny, she can make us laugh. And RHOA needs that energy desperately now.
