#pretend they’re wearing their Halloween costumes (I just liked these outfits ok)

[hazyange1s]

Sebastian had never really thought much about his favorite color, to be honest, never wanted to limit himself to just one hue out of so many perfectly lovely ones. Most people probably expected him to go with a safe blue or a familiar Slytherin green, when they cared to ask.

But he could tell them now that it was red. Brilliant, beautiful, vibrant red. - Incendiary, chapter 19

warnings: rom com references, drinking, and a little bit of angst

summary: you cope with your feelings for peter by getting drunk on halloween

a/n: ok i really really love this and i loved writing it too? it’s the first like original idea i’ve had in a while so maybe that’s why but yeah i hope y’all enjoy and that this puts you in a halloweenish mood :-)

-

there’s something about fall that makes you nostalgic. the same images pop into your head whenever you hear the word october. pumpkin patches, colorful leaves, and hot coffee. it reminds you of being a kid. only when you were a kid, all you could think about this time of year was what you were going to be for halloween.

you’d spend weeks getting your costume together and coordinating with all your friends. trick or treating was literally the only thing that mattered. if you wanted to get good candy, you had to have a good costume.

the high school version of candy is alcohol. everyone just goes to parties so they can drink the whole night. no one even dresses up usually. you personally would rather have chocolate than cheap beer. your whole friend group agrees on that.

that’s why you decided to throw your own party this year. anyone who misses the old halloween can come hang out. so far it’s only peter, mj, ned, betty, and the rest of the decathlon team coming. betty invited everyone for you. she also asked liz, but she’s going to flash’s party. he only gets so many people because his parents are never home and don’t care if he raids the liquor cabinet. whatever.

you’re out finding something to wear with peter and mj a few hours before it starts. ned and betty already picked their costumes. she’s going as an angel, and he’s going as the devil. you think they should switch. they’re out shopping for snacks while the three of you hit up spirit halloween.

mj groans every single second there’s silence, and peter keeps getting scared by the motion sensor decorations. he eventually ends up having to go somewhere in the store that doesn’t have any. so, it’s a lot.

“why don’t you be a vampire?” mj asks in her fake interested voice, taking a pair of fangs off the rack in front of her. you scoff. “i think i did that in sixth grade.” she puts them back with a huff. “witch?” she’s just suggesting every costume she sees so you can get out of here. her lack of enthusiasm makes you want to take longer.

“no.”

“zookeeper?”

“eh.”

“what about cat in the hat?”

“mj, what? no.”

“uh... school girl?”

“ok, that’s just offensive.”

“you’re right. why do they have that?” she eyes the costume suspiciously. you cover it up with a random cloak that fell onto the floor. you’re never going to find anything at this point. maybe it’s a sign you’re too old for this. just when you’re about to lose all hope, peter comes over.

he’s holding up the plaid yellow skirt and blazer cher wears in clueless. it’s one of the most iconic rom com outfits. you grab it with a gasp, peter giving you a knowing smile. “oh my god! wait, where did you find this?” “they have a section with movie stuff.” there’s a han solo costume in his other hand.

you throw an arm around his neck for a quick hug. peter squeezes you and chuckles when he pulls away. it gets a sigh out of mj.

“sure you don’t wanna be the guy she ends up with?” she elbows peter’s arm. the two of you share a disgusted look. “josh? ew, he’s her ex stepbrother,” you dismiss her. “they’re, like, related,” peter adds. mj rolls her eyes almost to the back of her head and starts to walk away. “someone needs to unplug both of your tv’s.” you and peter follow after her.

of course she would suggest a couple’s costume. she was probably trying to make you both get weird. you’re always being teased for spending so much time together. even your parents and may make little comments about it. you can’t help the fact that you have almost everything in common.

peter is the only person your age who doesn’t try so hard to be cool. when you’re with him, you can be the biggest nerd and wear fluffy pajamas and play with legos. it’s a judgement free friendship.

you’ll admit you’ve wanted it to become a judgement free relationship. there’s no way he doesn’t feel your heart beating against him when you cuddle during movie nights. he has to notice your goofy smile whenever he calls you a nickname.

but, it could all be platonic in peter’s mind. maybe he sees you as more of a sister. that would make josh the perfect costume to go with you as cher.

you shutter and try to push the idea out of your mind for the rest of your time at spirit halloween.

it’s almost time for the party to start when you get back to your house. your parents let betty and ned in to start setting up on their way out. they’re going for dinner so they aren’t around to embarrass you. you have until midnight, then there’s nothing you can do. that gives you four hours.

mj is changing into the coraline costume you made her get, which she actually doesn’t hate. betty is helping you do some last minute decorating. peter and ned are putting out snacks. it’s a really good system you have.

“love the the plaid, y/n. you look so fetch!” betty compliments in between throwing fake cobwebs over your couch. you snort and finish stringing up some lights. “wrong movie, but thanks.” “oh. oops,” she shrugs and gets back to cobwebbing. “peter found it for me.” all the lights are up, so you go to plug them in. betty giggles on your way over.

your living room has an orange glow to it now. dusting your hands off, you admire your work. the moment of admiration ends when you notice how betty is looking at you. “what?” “peter found it for you,” she repeats suggestively. “when he was getting his costume, yeah,” you say like it’s nothing because it is nothing.

“so, what i’m hearing is he wanted to see you in a skirt.” you furrow your eyebrows at her. “what? no, he just-“ she wiggles her own eyebrows at you. you’re going to start sweating if you talk about this any longer. too aware of yourself now, you pull down your skirt and trudge over to the stairs. “i’m gonna go check on mj.”

you’re in the middle of convincing her she looks great and to leave your room when everyone calls your name downstairs.

“what?” you shout back from behind the closed door. “you should get down here.” it’s only peter this time. mj widens her eyes at you, but you’re gone before she can say she isn’t wearing this again.

you make your way down the stairs. the three of them are huddled in front of the door. “is someone here?” you mouth, ned looking off to the side awkwardly. they all move out of the way so you can see who it is. it’s flash. you’re obviously surprised to see him at your house, especially since he’s supposed to be having his own party right now.

“um, what are you doing here?” you try not to sound mean. “didn’t you invite the whole decathlon team? i’m on it.” you’d forgotten about that. peter says he’s only an alternate. flash side steps past you to get inside. you didn’t say he could come in. he heads straight to the chip bowl on your living room coffee table. you’re left shaking your head in pure confusion.

“dude, kick him out,” ned whispers to you. you wave your hand dismissively and walk over. he’s kicking his legs up on the table when you get there. “dope outfit. you look good.” he winks and crunches on a tostito. peter is clenching his jaw, but no one sees. “why are you in my house, flash?” you push the bowl away from him. “oh, yeah. my parents came home from vegas early.”

mj finally gets downstairs, squinting at whatever is going on with you while she walks over to everyone else. “i thought we could combine parties.” flash eyes your friends in a way you don’t like. “all your guests are pretty much here, so don’t worry about space.”

you look back at peter to see what he thinks. he shakes his head no. betty is nodding her head so fast you’re pretty sure she’s going to get whiplash. ned agrees with whatever she thinks, and mj doesn’t care. majority rules. plus, you could use one of flash’s playlists to liven things up. how bad could it really be?

“text everyone my address.”

people are flooding your house in the next fifteen minutes. like, your entire grade might be here. flash hooks his phone up to your speakers and blasts his songs. people grab fistfuls of candy and dance around. you’re running low on soda, but one guy brought extra drinks. alcoholic drinks, which you’re uneasy about. that was a big reason why you wanted to have your own party in the first place.

you don’t want to be a lame host, so you let it slide. a girl is sitting on top of your kitchen counter making out with someone. people are yelling so loud you can’t make out a single conversation. this is all going on and yet somehow, the most surprising thing is that they came in costume. some are more casual, like cat ears and lifeguard hoodies. it still counts.

feeling a little bit lost in your own house, you search for peter. he’s sitting on the top stair just watching what’s going on. you get his attention by throwing a mini packet of sour patch kids at him. he catches it, grinning when he realizes you did that. “i love these.” “good. they were the only ones left.” you take a seat next to him and scratch at the material of his vest for emphasis.

“i can’t believe you said yes to him.” peter opens the sour patch kids. the first one is yellow, so he offers it to you. sharing food with him always works because you each seem to like what the other doesn’t. “neither can i, but i think betty would’ve actually hurt me if i didn’t,” you joke while chewing. he rolls his eyes, but he’s still smiling. “please. she’s too nice.”

you lean your head on peter’s shoulder and grab another gummy. he pokes your arm in protest. “this bag is small. get your own.” you’re nuzzling your cheek against him. “i told you they’re gone.” he’s about to put an arm around you when someone screams downstairs. you quickly sit up.

“i’m gonna go see what the hell that was. i’ll find you later?” peter does his best to hide his disappointment. “yeah, of course. good luck.” you clench your teeth and run down the stairs. this is somehow flash’s fault.

it’s been an hour and a half, and peter is nowhere to be seen. the chaos was just that someone really liked the song that was playing. it didn’t take you long to figure that out. when you went to tell peter, he was gone. you’ve looked everywhere for him since, except the backyard.

a pretty big group of people is out here either playing catch or talking. someone also brought a case of beer outside. you spot mj huddled up by the fence with a bottle. it doesn’t necessarily surprise you. it’s weird to see, either way.

“have you seen peter?” you walk up to her. she uses the bottle to gesture somewhere. he’s in the middle of a conversation with liz. your entire body feels like it’s collapsing into itself. it didn’t cross your mind she would be coming even when the party moved to your house.

she’s nice and all. you don’t have any issues with her. not that she knows about, at least. peter had the biggest crush on her for about a month, then it fizzled out. that’s what he told you. unless, he said that to save face.

you’re speechless. mj figured you would be. she gives you a sympathetic smile and holds out her beer. “yep. drink up.” your instincts tell you to take it, so you do. she heads back inside and leaves you alone with your thoughts. that’s not good for you. the only to way to get rid of them is by chugging the rest of this bottle.

you’ve never had your own drink before, and technically you aren’t now. this is still the most alcohol you’ll ever have in your system. before you can change your mind, you take a generous swig. it’s bitter. you don’t hate it as much as you expected to, though.

your eyes land on liz touching peter’s shoulder. that inspires your next big gulp of beer. you finish off the rest, and it hits you fast. you’re understanding why this is such a popular vice. you don’t feel anything but how tipsy you are. light and floaty. you decide to stumble back into the kitchen and find out what other drinks people brought.

the bright color of your costume catches peter’s attention. he was wondering where you were. excusing himself from liz, he follows you in. you bump into betty on your way to the punch bowl someone filled. she’s holding a red solo cup with the mystery liquid. both of you buzzed, you laugh and grab her arm.

“sorry. s- sorry.” you’re squeezing behind her, her angel wings brushing against your face in the process. you have to weave through everyone to make it to the drink table. peter meets you there when you’re getting a cup. he’s shocked.

“y/n?” smiling lazily, you take a sip. “hey, peter. pete.” the sober voice in your head tells you to stop talking. he probably shouldn’t know you’re drunk. then again, your cup gives it away. “y/n, have you been drinking?” he sounds concerned. everything is funny to you right now. you giggle out a “yes.”

peter doesn’t want to be that person, but you’re not acting right. he reaches for your drink. you pull it away too abruptly, and some of it spills onto the floor. “you... you’re so...“ you start losing your balance. “woah.” peter wraps an arm around your waist to steady you. he takes the drink out of your hand and sets it on the table.

frowning, he throws your arm around his shoulders so he can help you get upstairs. “come on, y/n/n.” you don’t argue this time. you’re at the part of being drunk where it doesn’t feel good anymore. peter holds you close to his side and walks you out of the kitchen. he stops to talk to ned for a second.

“hey, man. y/n’s parents are gonna be home soon. could you get everyone out?” he says into his ear. “why can’t she do it?” peter moves out of the way so he’s not blocking you. ned sees. you’re completely faded. “oh, shit. is she okay?” he whisper yells. “i’m gonna take care of her.” “i’ll tell everyone to go.” peter presses his lips into a tight smile, then he’s taking you up to your room.

you flop down onto your bed face first. peter shuts the door behind you. “you okay?” he chuckles, you nodding with your face smushed into the comforter. he’d think it was cute if you weren’t piss drunk. gently nudging you, he moves you so you’re on your back.

“let’s get you out of this.” “ooh, betty was right. you do like me in a skirt,” you giggle and bat your eyelashes at him. he huffs. “no, i mean you have to put on pajamas.” you’re pouting now. “you don’t like me in a skirt?” after going through your drawers, he comes back over with a big t-shirt and fuzzy pants. “i never said that.”

you grin again and grab them from him. “ha.” “do you need help changing?” he sits at the edge of your bed. you’re still laying down. he’s not sure you can handle getting up. “no. don’t be creepy,” you say completely serious. peter has to remind himself you’re drunk. “you were the one who thought i wanted you naked, but ok.”

making peter close his eyes, you peel the costume off your body. you got pretty sweaty. you kick everything onto the floor and start putting on your pajamas. your head gets stuck in an arm hole by accident, so peter has to fix that. the rest is fine. he’s about to bring you into the bathroom to brush your teeth, but you face plant into his lap. you’re out.

the next morning, you wake up feeling like ass. your breath is hot and tastes disgusting. your head is pounding. you could throw up. you’re not even sure how you ended up in your bed. then, you notice peter sitting at your desk. he must have helped you in.

a vague memory of him tucking you under the covers while you whined comes back to you, along with a few others. one of them is of him and liz. the whole reason you did this to yourself.

“hey.” your voice comes out hoarse. “hi.” peter nods and points to your night table. there’s a fresh glass of water. you drink it all down as fast as humanely possible, a hand on your heart. it doesn’t phase him after what you did last night. you set the empty glass down and pat the spot next to you. peter sits by your side.

he’s still dressed as han solo, but his vest and belt are sprawled out on the floor. the boots are under your desk. he actually stayed all night for you.

“i think i’m hungover.” you rest your head against his arm. his body relaxes. “you didn’t drink that much. mj said she gave you half a beer,” he almost laughs, you groaning. “that means i’m a lightweight.” “for now.” your arm wrapping around his, you look up at him.

“sorry you had to deal with me. am i in trouble?” “nah, your parents don’t know. we cleaned everything up before they got home.” he lightly pats the top of your head with two fingers. you squeeze your eyes shut when he does it. “you did? thank you so much, wow.” peter nods and smiles for a second.

he lays his back against the pillow on his side. “let’s just pretend that never happened.” “you’re good at pretending,” you mumble to yourself. you’re not as quiet as you think because peter hears it. “um, what?” you feel too woozy to come up with a cover. letting out a breath, you take your head and hands off of him.

“i saw you talking with liz.” “she wanted to know if i could lead decathlon practice next week. she’s not gonna be in school,” he says slowly, not getting it. “why?” having to spell it out is making you frustrated. “didn’t you say you don’t like her anymore?” “yeah, i don’t.”

“so, why was she being all... touchy?” the jealousy is clear in your voice. peter shrugs. “that’s how liz is. i still don’t get why it matters.” you ease yourself to sit up and turn to face him. those three words you’ve been meaning to tell him are on the absolute tip of your tongue. they’re about to come out.

then...

“i like you, y/n.”

peter says them for you.

you’re so surprised you nearly vomit for real. or, it could be the possible hangover. almost a minute has gone by when you realize you’ve been sitting there with your mouth hanging open. you swallow your spit. “you... you do?” “a lot. i kept trying to tell you, but there was never a good time.” his voice is softer now.

“i realized after homecoming. i wished i went with you instead of...” he doesn’t have to finish the sentence. you nod, a small smile spreading across your face. peter’s eyes are so hopeful. “i like you, too. a lot.” your gaze trails down to his lips.

“i’d kiss you if my breath didn’t stink.” “i’ll let you owe me one.” he’s fully grinning now, and both of you laugh. they’re the kind of laughs you do because you’re so happy you don’t know what to say.

peter presses his lips to your temple, your eyes fluttering closed. “get some more sleep. i’m gonna ask you out when you wake up,” he mumbles against your hair. you grab his hand that’s resting on the comforter. “can you stay with me?” “of course.”

he lays down next to you. you pull back the covers so he can get under them. your head is resting on his chest, an arm around his torso. both of his hug your waist. you’re instantly comfortable cuddled up in his embrace. you drift off to sleep with a smile.

this feels like such a dream. it’s the exact type of situation you’d make up in your head. but, it’s real. peter is still holding you when you wake up. he’s not going anywhere.

Hey, hey! A new week, a new episode of CBS’s Ghosts. Here are my notes on the fifth episode of the season: “Halloween.”

.... Oops, I forgot this was in my drafts and now this post is almost four days late. Ah well.

- Aw, I like seeing the ghosts really appreciate a part of the house getting fixed up. In this case it was Hetty being happy at seeing the gazebo look more like how it used to. It really shows that these characters have a history with the house.

- At one point, Jay remarks about “The smiles you [Sam] claim to see on your invisible friends’ faces.” I can’t help but feel that “claim” makes this remark sound insulting. Jay seems to have more of these insulting-sounding comments about Sam’s relationship with the ghosts than Mike had for Alison.

- The ghosts have an interesting reason for not liking Halloween: they find people pretending to be ghosts insulting, and they themselves can’t do any fun living stuff. This makes me wonder what the BBC ghosts would think of the holiday. Share your thoughts!

- STOP, TREVOR (my reaction to him describing sexy Halloween costumes)

- (For effect, I’m going to share this next note exactly as I typed it while live-noting my thoughts.)

Sasappis died on Halloween. IN 1995.  IT IS A COSTUME. HIS NAME is MIKE, No, he’s 500 years old and joking. Storyteller, wink, it’s a gift. Ok, that got me but it just reminds me of my earlier comments.

OK, live-noting over. Now for context! Sasappis says his reason for hating Halloween is because he died on the holiday... in 1995. He’s wearing a Halloween costume and his name is Mike. But when Sam goes “Oh my god, really??”, he answers that no, of course it isn’t. He’s 500 years old and joking. He winks and says that he’s a story teller. It’s a gift.

This joke did make me laugh, but it IMMEDIATELY made me think of my earlier comments on Sasappis sounding a bit too modern to my ears, so much so that I honestly thought he might’ve been a modern ghost in a costume when I first saw/heard him. I wonder if this occurred to the writers as well, leading to this joke.

- The ghosts dislike how local kids vandalize the house every Halloween and they’re powerless to stop it. Now this is a cool addition to the CBS show. The BBC show is great, but I don’t know if we see too much of Button House’s neighbors (aside from that one rich dude and his wife). This CBS detail adds just a touch more world building.

- I don’t particularly care for Jay and Sam dressing up as the Step Brothers. Mostly because I’ve never seen the movie, but also because they’re just lame outfits. They do give a reason for it (It’s cheap, quick, and not sexually objectifying for Alison), but it’s just not entertaining for me.

- When a kid arrives dressed as a Ghostbuster, it freaks some of the ghosts out, but Pete and Trevor know what the kid is referencing. Trevor likes the movie Ghostbusters, but Pete hadn’t seen it because it came out the year before he died and he was very busy. Good job taking death dates into account and how they relate with the different characters.

- Sasappis has a weird moment where he says this: “I definitely wasn’t a parent! … I don’t know why I said definitely. I definitely had sex during my life.”

…. and then this continues into a whole one-sided sex conversation where Sasappis insists he’s not a virgin. This is ultimately proved correct by Thorfinn (who watched all those times), but... why did we need this from Sasappis? It honestly doesn’t feel important for his character to do/say. It just feels like a joke that could have easy been said by Trevor or any other character.

- So after the mischievous neighborhood kids egg the house, Sam (CORRECTLY) suggests talking to their parents. Jay says it’s not a good idea, since “Snitches get stitches.” Jay, come on. You’re a responsible adult. Apparently.

- Trevor uses his powers of touch to play Ghostbusters for him, Alberta and Pete. Alberta and Pete are horrified at Ghostbusters, and Trevor finds it disturbing now. This is a fun concept, and I’m glad I could see the ghosts’ reactions to modern depictions of ghosts. (Alberta:  “Why are they green? Were they green in life?! What died and made THAT ghost?!”) Also, seeing their perspectives change on something they knew in life now that they’re dead is pretty interesting.

- “I watched Jay sand for hours, getting sweater and sweater…” Goddamn it, Isaac. I know your whole thing is being gay, but lines like this make you sound as creepy as Trevor. BBC Ghosts did stuff like this better with the Captain’s occasional “compliments” towards Mike that sound more adorably flustered than creepy leering, as well as that one episode where Fanny gets overwhelmed with sudden flustered feelings on seeing Mike. (Her overreaction and horror at what she feels make it funny and not creepy)

- Isaac likes watching Bake Off. I just like this detail.

- Sam, don’t blame yourself for calling that kid’s mom. That was the right thing to do! DON’T MAKE THIS SHOW’S LESSON THAT YOU SHOULDN’T TELL PARENTS ABOUT THEIR KIDS’ BAD BEHAVIOR. (Ultimately, it isn’t, but the show never explicitly says that Sam was wrong to apologize for suggesting the responsible move here)

- “Didn’t kids murder you?” “Oh, that was just an accident. I think.” Further clues that Pete’s death is pretty similar to Pat’s.

- This episode has ONE appearance of headless dude. Just ONE of his headless body passing behind the cops after they asked Sam “Have you seen any other suspicious activity?” That’s IT. We don’t even see his HEAD.

- I like Alberta knowing Thorfin’s lying because she dated a two-timing bootlegger for five years. Anything to learn more of these characters’ histories.

- Well. We finally got it. Trevor’s one redeeming quality. He stands with Pete when he wants to tell Sam the truth about the gazebo (that the ghosts blamed the mischievous kids on it burning down instead of admitting that Thorfinn messed with the lights and caused a fire.) Halloween perpetuates the stereotype that ghosts are evil, Trevor says, and blaming the kids make the ghosts exactly what Halloween says they are.

- “He’s [Trevor’s] the one doing the right thing?” “Yeah, I’m surprised too.” SAME HERE, TWO CHARACTERS THAT I FORGOT TO LIST THE NAMES OF. SAME HERE.

- I did find Trevor teaching the ghosts to slow clap at his victory kind of fun. (No one except Pete knows it’s a cliche, so he savors the moment of them all doing it genuinely)

- So, once Sam informs the cops that they were wrong to judge the kids, and that she accidentally started the fire with a cigarette (she lies out of bad improv, and also because the ghosts didn’t tell her how the fire started), one cop says this:

“Ma’am, if you have any other problems, please lose our number.”

To which Sam replies: “Yeah, that’s fair.”

NO IT’S NOT, THEY’RE THE POLICE, HOLY SHIT. Like.... the police’s job is to help you with problems! (yeah, they have a bad track record for it, but for now, they’re the folks to call until the system is fixed.) For context, the cops aren’t just mad with them because of the gazebo. They also dislike Sam and Jay because of the viking funeral incident with their canoe. So there is even more reason to think that this isn’t “just a joke.” Even if this is a joke, that’s a bad joke. You don’t want the cops to imply that they won’t help you in an emergency.

- So, Sam and Jay treat the ghosts like children (and even say, in WORDS, that they’ve acted like children and should be treated as such) and give the ghosts consequences for their actions (no TV). I kinda… don’t like that. I do think they need consequences for lying, but I don’t like Sam and Jay rubbing it in that they are “children” in this circumstance. It’s very demeaning, and I want the living and the dead to respect each other as PEOPLE.

- Well, at least Jay appreciates the ghost Halloween. The ghosts burned down their gazebo in front of their haunted house. And he finds that cool. Maybe this will make him feel better about his decision to WILLINGLY PUT THEM INTO DEBT WHEN HIS WIFE COULDN’T PHYSICALLY HELP HIM MAKE THOSE DEALS. Just saying. Earlier when he complained about missing out on Brooklyn Halloween parties, I had no sympathy. You did that to yourself.

- …. They’re incorporating the stepbrothers costumes into their making out, which, as one of the characters point out, is disturbing. (Although it does let us know that Hetty married her cousin.) God, as if I needed more of a reason to dislike their Halloween costumes.

And those are all my notes! I hope you’ve all had a Happy Halloween.

[ribcage-rodents]

How Iris first had an inkling that Wally had a crush on Dick. Ok so like, bc Star and Gotham are absolutely horrifying during Halloween, Barry is like “I’ll patrol then Iris will take the babies trick or teating”

Originally Wally is really upset bc he wants to go patrolling w his uncle but once he finds out that he gets to hang out w the other hero’s he’s psyched.

So Wally is like 12-13 and dresses up as the flash naturally. Roy is like 14-15 and he’s totally too old for Halloween and over it bc he’s super angsty, and dresses up as like Jason form Friday the thirteenth or some shit bc Black Canary forces him to. Robin only ever celebrated Halloween during his circus days when everyone would paint their face scary and flying Graysons would do aerial ballet show w black fabric so it was like spiders but after that it was just horrifying.

Anyway so Barry picked up this tiny Batman costume and Iris was like “Barry hon, isn’t he like 10? Shouldn’t you get him a bigger outfit?” (He two years younger than Wally, and four younger than Roy) And Barry is like “no trust me babe he teeny”.

Batman shows up to their house followed by a tinsity winsty baby tiny Batman bc Barry ran it over b/f patrol. And wow is that cute. Tiny baby Batman is basically glued to Batman’s side, his teeny little head coming up to Batman’s lower thigh, last time Iris checked 10-year olds aren’t supposed to be that tiny but wow is it adorable. (I’m sorry I just love teeny baby Dickie& giant looming built-like-a-tank batdaddy)

Barry told her what Batman had already explained. That Robin is foreign and doesn’t really know a lot of holiday stuff and also has been severely traumatized the past couple of years and doesn’t really like strangers and knows better than to take anything from strangers.

So it’s obvious that Robin would rather be tied up and drugged w fear gas than in a family aquatintence’s home about to go trick or treating. And Iris is a little resentful of the other boys, hard as she try to be understanding, bc Wally looks so disappointed bc he just wants to have friends and these guys don’t want to have fun.

Anyway Roy is kinda warming up to the whole trick or treating thing but sometimes he can be really mean to Wally but maybe Iris is just overprotective of her boy. Iris takes several pictures during the entire night despite both Batmans being adamant about no photos.

Robin refuses to go up to any house but Iris doesn’t comment on it. She doesn’t want to alienate him, so she doesn’t say anything. She goes up and grabs him a peice of candy but he disappears into the night. She panics for a good couple of seconds but calms when tiny Batman shows up next to Wally and Roy.

She doesn’t try again after that. He likes to walk at the back of the group and every time Iris tries to keep an eye on him, bc he may be a trained hero but central isn’t as safe as smallsville and her parental instincts are going off. Every couple of blocks Wally will try to walk next to him and talk and it’ll work for a while then Robin will slow down and fall behind and Wally’s angelic little baby face gets so sad.

As their trip comes to an end Iris can see Robin wrapping the cape around him tightly w his eyes screwed shut and it breaks her heart a little bc this poor boy must be so uncomfortable and scared that he’s trying to imitate the feeling of his mentors hug. It’s a jarring to imagine Batman hugging anything but she supposes that a baby as cute as that must make even the dark knight just wanna squeeze his sweet rosy, chubby cheeks. She reaches out to place a hand on his head, bc he’s too short to comfortably put a hand on his shoulder.

He jerks back immediately and death glares her, his anger showing full force through the white eyelets. She sent him an apologetic smile and he seemed to unbistle a smidgen.

Once they were finally home Iris watched them from behind the kitchen counter. Wally and Roy were digging into the candy while Robin perched on top of the couch. He kept scratching at his arm, Barry said that it was fine as long as it was controlled. Apparently the poor baby had a pretty serious anxiety disorder and tended to scratch to make himself feel better, it was ok as long as he didn’t have an attack.

She tossed him the single candy across the room, he caught it swiftly in his tiny baby hand. (So cute) Wally shot up to his feet. “That’s not one of my candies right?” Iris smiled, her prefect gluttonous boy. “Nope it’s from your uncles,” it was lie but it didn’t harm anyone. “That’s my backup candy!” Wally cried racing towards the door and snatching up handfuls of candy from the trick or treater bowl. Iris pretend to scold him for being stingy.

Robin slowly unwrapped the candy then examined it breaking off a piece and finally eating the snickers. His eyelets widened comically and he chewed slowly staring down at the candy before shoving the entire (not that fun size is really that big) thing in his mouth. It was absolutely adorable! She wished she had take a video and wondered if this was his first ever candy. (Dick usually just ate cotton candy as a kid, he hadn’t discover cereal yet. But since his parents died he hasn’t had real sugar, Alfred has strict hold on anything sweet in the house and Robin was deemed too energetic already.)

Apparently Wally agreed bc his mouth was wide open and his face was a blotchy-red color. His eyes were filled w what Iris could only discribe as adoration.

Wally swallowed then stood up again. His arms filled w sweets. “Here you can have my candy!” Wally all but shouted at the other boy, he paused for a second looking at his arms, “or we could share,” he suggested instead.

That’s what got Iris, even before his flash experiment Wally has never shared food, not even w his uncle. But here he was offering up some to a boy he hardly knows bc he thinks it’s cute when he eats candy. God she might cry.

Robin smiled at Wally. A real smile, the first one she’s seen all night. “You could still have it all if you wanted!” Wally said again his face turning a couple shades darker and thrusting the candy at robin, who artfully avoided his touch.

“We can share, don’t speedsters need extra calories?” Wally nodded and then proceeded to gather up the rest of the candy scattered on the floor. It was then that Iris noticed that Roy and dipped.

She was slightly panicked. Roy could probably fight for himself but he’s still a baby, a baby that Iris was in charge of. She hurriedly pulled out some blankets and turned on the tv for the boys while she dialed Barry who called Ollie. In a strange turn of events Ollie actually apologized to Iris, saying quote, “Roy’s a little jack-ass of course he snuck off. Don’t worry I’ll find him, probably screwed off to get drunk at some highschool party. Thanks for watching him while you could, I honestly expected him to scurry off a lot sooner.”

It didn’t exactly ease the tension in Iris’ chest but watching those two babies sitting on the couch pass candy back forth watching Charlie Brown specials made her feel a lot better. They were on opposite sides of the couch and Iris could see Wally’s little fingers twitching by his legs, he got up to go to the bathroom and came back only to really casually sit right next to Robin, like basically on his lap.

Robin wiggled up onto the arm of the couch.

“Ok so this ones a Milky Way,” Wally said passing the treat up to Robin.

He popped it in his mouth and chewed. “What’s the difference between this one and the snickers?” He asked, Iris was a little surprised by how good Robins accent was, he spoke like a natural English speaker, which he wasn’t. Every once in a while he’d use a word wrong or mispronounce something, a lit of something would catch on what he was saying but his American accent was pretty flawless.

“Snickers have peanuts, milky ways don’t,” Wally supplied in a duh voice. Robin smiled, “golly, you sure know a bunch about candies. You must be really smart!” And isn’t that so cute! Everyone treats the speedsters like idiots just bc they’re dense but here Robin is picking up on the hidden intelligence like a Batman should. Wally puffed his chest out all proud his face was still all red like a patchy strawberry.

A couple hours passed when Batman showed up. Wearing a different not soaked in fear gas costume, both Iris and Wally were sad to see robin go, well Wally was more devastated. The minute Batman stepped through the front door Robin was disappearing underneath his cape, according to Barry Robin doesn’t like to be more than 3cm from Batman at all times.

“Maybe we can hang out more!” Wally called his blush finally fading. A chipper ok sounded from somewhere in Batman’s cape, (Wally’s face turned scarlet in an instant) at the same time Batman gruffed out a no. Wally’s perfect baby face fell, Batman and Robin left. “Hey don’t worry kiddo I’ll talk to him!” Wally gave a half-hearted smile then went back to his candy eating.

Later he was engrossed in a discussion of patrol w his uncle while they both ate most of central’s candy supply.

As Barry and Iris got ready for bed an hour or so later she turned to him w a mischievous smile. “So it’s seems like Wally’s got his first real crush!” She sing-songed. Barry looked at her confused a toothbrush sticking out of his mouth. “Who?” “Robin” she responded. “That’s doesn’t make any sense!” She signed, somethings speedsters really were dense.

So I just saw your Halloween prompts! I don't think you've done this one yet so could you do "we hate each other but we were invited to a mutual friend’s party and were warned to be civil so you complimented my costume and fuck you, i haven’t changed yet"?

from halloween prompts here

ok I thought I'd get a little funky with this one and set it within the first year of them getting shoved in the shatterdome together when they’re just total dicks to each other. for reference this is the ABSOLUTE EXACT OUTFIT NEWT IS WEARING!!!!!

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

Newt arrives fashionably late to the party.

Well, it’s more just like late late. His date with a hot ranger hopeful went a little over schedule, so over schedule Newt had to straight-up bail on the guy before they got the check, which he felt bad about, and then he left his phone in the bar and had to double back for it (awkwardly pretending he didn’t notice his date chatting up another guy at the counter), and then he missed his bus and had to hail the most expensive Uber ride of all time, and basically didn’t make it back to base until well after he’d promised to appear with cupcakes. Newt spent a shit-ton of time on those cupcakes and basically sold his soul to get the ingredients for them (rationing, man, it’s killing his amateur baker dreams), so he books it to the break room with the tray without even bothering to change into his costume first. These are more important.

Everything is in full swing when he gets there. The lightbulbs in the overhead lights have been swapped out for purple ones, and the music is pulsing so loud Newt feels it vibrating in his stomach; tacky Halloween garland, most of it homemade, is hung from practically everything; every available surface not cluttered with bottles of cheap booze or chip bowls is cluttered with plastic Jack-O-Lanterns and dripping black candles. In short, it looks pretty fucking fun. Newt squeezes his way through the costumed crowd, rearranges a few candles to carefully slip his cupcakes onto one of the repurposed card tables in a place of honor, and resolves to make himself a drink with the first bottle of something he finds that’s not fruit-flavored—he’s earned it after his shitty night.

There’s a tap at his shoulder before he can make good on his promise to himself of a drink. “Yeah, whatever, I know I’m late, dude,” he shouts over the music. “It’s been a night. I—” He turns. “Oh.”

It’s not Hermann like he (admittedly, foolishly) thought, but rather Tendo, who’s already flushed a bright red, undoubtedly from whatever horrific purple concoction is in his paper cup. Newt wonders if it’s what’s currently foaming in the ominous black cauldron labeled Witch’s Brew next to the cheese dip. He’ll pass, thanks. “It’s about time,” Tendo says. “Gottlieb has been on my ass all fuckin’ night long about where you are. Go find him already.”

“Hermann’s been on your ass about me?” Newt says, eyebrows jumping. Out of everyone in this entire goddamn room—including the janitorial staff, who have had a bone to pick with Newt ever since his ill-advised kaiju eyeball experiment, and resulting explosion, that left the laboratory coated in slime for a week—Hermann is perhaps the very last person he would ever expect to give a shit about his whereabouts. It’s just that Hermann prides himself on not caring about Newt’s personal life, something he takes great care to remind Newt of at every possible opportunity, and Newt would’ve thought he’d have jumped at the chance to enjoy every Newt-free second to the fullest. He should know well enough by now that Hermann manages to find something to complain about in anything. “Why?” he says, and this time, he rolls his eyes. “Did he miss having someone to bitch at? Or bitch about?”

“Easy,” Tendo says warningly. He pokes his finger at Newt’s chest. “Try to keep it civil, boys, okay? I am not having you crush our chances of Pentecost approving a New Year’s bash with a repeat of—”

“Okay, okay,” Newt sighs, waving him off. He doesn’t exactly want a reminder of his and Hermann’s, uh, behavior at the somewhat disastrous Valentine’s Day party, either, or how tense the lab was for weeks following it. Well. Tenser than usual. “I got it. No fights. Where is he?”

“Hiding in that corner,” Tendo says. He gestures with his cup, splashing purple Witch’s Brew all down the front of his dumb greaser costume, and Newt squints where he’s directed; he thinks he can make out pale, sharp cheeks and the flash of a tweed coat. Trust Hermann to wear tweed to a Halloween party. He’s so lame. “Nice pants, by the way.”

“Thanks,” Newt says, distracted, and pushes his way through the crowd.

Newt’s surprised that Hermann even bothered showing up in the first place, and he can’t imagine he’s been very exciting company to anyone all night. The guy hates parties. Sure enough, he’s staring sullenly at his shoes when Newt finally reaches him, back pressed against the wall, soda can gripped so tightly in his free hand Newt can see the aluminum starting to crinkle under his fingertips. Newt doesn’t say hi, just sidles up next to him. Hermann doesn’t seem to notice. “How’s the party?” Newt says.

Hermann’s whole body goes rigid; when he turns to Newt, his lips have curled down into an ugly grimace, like he just ate a whole lemon or maybe caught sight of his tragic hairdo in a mirror. It’s good to see you, too, Hermann, Newt thinks. “Distasteful,” Hermann says. “They haven’t a single decent thing to drink anywhere.”

“Hm,” Newt says. He shoves his hands in his pockets. “I heard you were asking about me.”

“Hardly,” Hermann says with a scoff.

“I heard Tendo didn’t get a second alone you were asking about me so much,” Newt says. “What, did you miss me? I bet you just came here tonight to hang out with me, didn’t you? I bet you were all disappointed when I wasn’t here, and…”

“Hardly,” Hermann snaps. Newt grins. “My presence at this party is in no way affected by your own. Don’t flatter yourself.”

“You were asking where I was, though,” Newt says.

Hermann’s lips contort again, this time into a thin line, and he turns a glare on Newt—though, Newt notices with a flare of glee, his cheeks have gone a bit pink. “I was aware you had…a date, tonight,” he says, slowly, “and—when you were not back by a reasonable time—well, forgive me for worrying that something may have happened to you.” His soda can begins to bend inward. “I wasn’t fancying the idea of having to tack on all of your work atop mine, is all.”

“Sure,” Newt says. He’d be touched, he thinks, if Hermann wasn’t the worst. “Anyway, look, I promise I’ll stay out of your hair—Tendo told us to behave ourselves. Just wanted to brighten your night real fast.”

Hermann snorts. “He warned me similarly. Well—in the interest of civility, I suppose I should compliment your costume.”

The grin vanishes off Newt’s face. Any feelings of good will towards Hermann—any sentimental feelings of companionability—that have been steadily building vanish with it. “Costume?” he says.

“Yes,” Hermann says. He waves his cane up and down, vaguely, over Newt. “Costume. ‘S better than mine, all I’ve got are some bloody vampire fangs in my pocket I haven’t even bothered to put on. You’re a clown, are you not?”

Briefly, Newt considers upending Hermann’s soda can over his head, or maybe indulging in a repeat of the Valentine’s Day party and using that whole fucking black cauldron. Instead, he just blushes and scowls. “Do you have to be such a jackass all the time?” he snaps. “No, I’m not dressed up like a fucking clown. These are my date clothes. A clown—that’s something coming from you, Doctor Sweatervest, you wouldn’t know fashion if it crawled out of the fucking Breach and stomped on you.”

Hermann looks mortified. Good—he should. “Newton—I didn’t—"

“Have a fun time,” Newt says, and storms off.

The thing about Hermann is that he’s a real square who knows exactly how to get under Newt’s skin, even when he doesn’t mean it; the thing about Newt is that he’s majorly cool and knows exactly how to get under Hermann’s skin, and he almost always means it. Newt thinks, if they were other people, he might consider them Frenemies, but he really can’t imagine a world in which Hermann would ever willingly be his friend, so half of that is a bust. Besides, Hermann’s not really his enemy either. He’s more of a…rival. Though it does complicate things severely when Newt takes into account how bad Hermann wants to get into his pants.

“That’s really great and all,” the guy Newt’s been chatting up by the snack table says, “but I don’t have any idea who you’re talking about.”

“It’s just like,” Newt says, “I know he wants me. I’ve caught him staring at my ass, like, twenty times in the lab. And when the eyeball incident happened—he was way too happy to strip me down for the emergency shower.” The event was very conflicting for Newt, too, to be quite honest, and he still looks back on it (Hermann, shouting at him and calling him an idiot, while ripping off his sizzling clothing) with a mixture of annoyance and arousal. He shrugs. “I just don’t know why he doesn’t admit it to himself. We’d all be happier. Can you believe he said I was dressed like a clown?”

“Uh-huh,” the guy says. “Look, Dr. Geiszler, I’m just trying to get some pretzels.”

“What?” Newt says. “Oh. Sorry. Here—” He uses a plastic spoon to scoop some out onto his new friend’s orange paper plate, and finds himself alone again very swiftly.

It’s not like the clown comment ruined his night or anything. It’s just that he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about it, once, or stop talking about it either, and every time he does, he feels angry and embarrassed all over again, and maybe sort of wants revenge against Hermann for it. He think he might know how to get it, too.

Hermann is lurking in the same place Newt left him, though instead of his soda can, he’s tensely nursing a paper cup. His name is Sharpied across it in his familiar scribble. Newt announces himself by wrapping his fingers around Hermann’s, raising the cup to his lips, and taking a sip. (It’s more soda.) “Hey, Hermann,” he says.

Hermann stares at him blankly; a familiar blush is making its way back to his cheeks. “Ah,” he says. “Hello.”

“What’s up?” Newt says. He scoots in next to Hermann until their shoulders touch; then, for good measure, he brushes his hand over the one Hermann has clenched firmly on his cane. He feels Hermann shiver. “You having fun?”

“Not—” Hermann clears his throat. He’s looking down at their hands. “Er. Not particularly.”

“Sorry to hear that,” Newt says, and (this time, settling his hand on top of Hermann’s) adds in a low voice, “I bet I could make it more exciting.”

The revenge plan was pretty simple. Preying upon Hermann’s obvious feelings for him, Newt would seduce him, get halfway through makeouts in some secluded hallway, and then pull away and be like just kidding! You suck!, announce he was going to find the sexy ranger he had a date with tonight who was totally into him, and go enjoy the rest of the party while Hermann—well, moped, Newt guessed. At least understood how Newt felt earlier. Except once they actually start making out, Newt realizes that’s kind of fucked up of him, and if Hermann tried the reverse (not that Newt has feelings for Hermann, obviously, but like—hypothetically), Newt would probably lock himself up in his quarters and cry for weeks. Plus, Hermann is apparently kind of awesome at making out?

“I take it your date did not go well,” Hermann breathes in his ear. “I can’t say I mind very much. Will you pull my hair again?”

Newt’s going to examine all this later. “Fuck yeah,” he says.

(spoilers)Trick or Treat CD summary

Reminder: I'm just quickly summarizing, might have missing parts.

Trick or Treat

Track 1 It starts with Yuuri sleeping and Wolfram wakes him up early with the first engiwarui cry, it’s still dark. Wolf is wearing the clothes from the halloween illustrations. Yuuri asks Wolf why he's looking so hot (using "hot limit"), and Wolfram confused opens a dictionary. He looks for hot and limit(girigiri). He mixes both words and comes up with 'atsugiri' something like a 'thick slice', and starts complaining about that (because he understood it as fat or something ). Yuuri tries other words like 'revolution' with similar comedic effects. Eventually Yuuri asks where he got the dictionary and looks at the front seeing it was Anissina who wrote it.

As he says the name, she appears, everyone's wearing the halloween outfits from here on.

They talk about Halloween (Harouin -> "Drinking Leaf Dew") in Shin Makoku. She borrowed the whip from Cherie-sama. She explains how she'll be in charge of Harouin and make a NEW Harouin, because Gunter became a victim of her experiments. When Yuuri asks if Gunter’s alive Wolfram says something like "I wouldn't call that living ".

When Wolfram complains about this, Anissina says, maybe you want to be in the experiments instead of your brother and Gunter. Wolfram apologizes to Gunter and lets him continue to be experimented on, and Yuuri says that gives him Deja-vu (Wolfram has in the past let his brother take the fall and never tried to get in his place)

They explain that he's in the okiku doll shooting lasers and can't speak.  (The Gunter seiyuu couldn't make it to the recording)

Yuuri sees his suit, he says is the same as Wolf, but Wolf corrects him says that he's a cat and his has wings.

The title for the CD starts

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

Trick or Treat

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

Gwen and Conrad are walking, they talk about their costumes. They're heading to the hills behind the Blood Pledge Castle. They have a container and a spoon (to collect the Dew) Gwen complains that he's too busy and Conrad thanks him for always working for the country. He also says 'daisukidayo' I love you ~, Gwen asks why and he said he just wanted to tell him how he feels. Gwen asks where is Gunter and Conrad says that he must be in some room as a 'Frozen Salmon'. Gwen doesn't understand and Conrad says you're lucky you don't.

Jozak shows up saying he brought Daikenja with him. Murata comments on their costumes, and Jozak says he's jealous and to compliment him too! Murata makes a 'voice' and says your Red Queen Cosplay is good 'hard breathing'. with byceps that can tear off the sleeves. Jozak is happy. Conrad comments that Murata looks cute with his Wolf costume, and Murata gets upset saying everyone gets it wrong, that it's a dog. He says the best part are the dog teeth and then says "gao" (like a 'scray' lion roar). Gwen immediately breaks because of the cuteness. He says it's not scary but cute, and Murata says that Gwen is scary . Conrad apologizes says that Gwen goes blind when fluffy things appear. Jozak says that if His Excellency keeps praising His Highness he'll be jealous (of who is not specified).

Gwen says he's used to seeing Gurie in those clothes for the missions so he doesn't really care at all. Conrad asks if he needs to keep wearing them and Jozak says he needs to shut up. Gwen says he prefers Jozak to use his 'usual' voice (he's been using his girl voice), and Jozak immediately starts using a deep voice. He says that he commits to being Gurie when he's cross-dressed but if Gwen asks he'll just pop instead. Conrad says he's a simple man, and Jozak says he's not, he just has his priorities clear. Murata talks to the audience and says it's a bit surreal with the dress and the biceps, but this time is just audio. Conrad asks who he's talking to. He says to everyone through their earphones and speakers. 

Jozak says they made it there. Anissina, Yuuri and Wolf appear. Yuuri tells them he was awoken by Wolf, wonders if everyone was there cuz Anissina called. Gwen says nah, and Anissina starts hitting him with the whip. Then he comments on the costume and how her breasts are popping out and she hits him again. She asks why if Yuuri has been working so hard since morning, he's slacking. Gwen says that the 'Leaf Dew Drinking' was originally something that kids and women did to pray for the safety and health of their family. Anissina gets angry hearing 'kids and women'. Keeps hitting him, saying as a politician he should be more aware of discriminatory bias. And keeps hitting him saying he should be ashamed. Wolf tells Anissina to stop. She turns to Conrad and asks why he's so late. Conrad says that he only wakes up early for the training with Yuuri and didn't think he had to wake up early that day. Yuuri says yeah me too. Then he and Wolf show off how much dew they collected. Yuu says it was fun scooping it with the spoon. Jozak says that if you mix the dew with ink it gives you a beautiful ink. Murata says he remembers that there was a 'setting' that if they drank a few drops something would happen.

Yuuri asks what he means by setting, and Murata says he was the one to come up with Harouin or rather Daikenja. He says that now a days it's different, like drink it to not catch a cold.

Wolf clarifies it's so they don't get sick and also gives you more appetite. Murata says that in the past it was different. Anissina then hits Murata with the whip and Jozak takes it away from her.

She apologizes and says that she wants to do the old tradition of Harouin. She says she wants to do it by drinking the dew of the "Mangosteen Mandragora" flower . (This name never gets heard in full, only the script has it. In the CD it's being constantly beeped out because it sounds like manko-> pussy. In other words, it's like she's saying pussy juice, and btw, they always leave the MA in.)

Yuuri says what did you say? She keeps saying it, even shortens the name (to what can only be manko-> pussy), and everyone's in like super shock and Wolfram says Anissina! And Jozak says: Even though you have such a cute face you're saying something like that (the beeping of everything Anissina is saying has a huge comedic effect).

She continues saying that drinking the MA juice, lets the person see what's to come in the near future.

They keep talking back and forth, Murata agrees, and eventually Yuuri drinks the juice and looses consciousness. -------------------------------------------- Anissina appears in chibi form as a guide ----------------------------------------- What Yuuri dreams is exactly like " It happens to everyone" Gunter is not there so Gwendal talks about him. Gwendal is happy with his horses living in harmony.

Jozak has his restaurant wearing the Chinese dress.

The Conrad scene: They're at the church. Conrad asks about Yuuri in a formal suit, Yuuri says that he does have a party with a princess and a prince.

Conrad says if you're pretending to pray your hands are wrong and fixes them. Yuuri says his fingers are cold. They talk about the weather, how Conrad is kinda mean to him, that Conrad's a celebrity bodyguard. He says the person he's looking after is selfish, but at least they're not as reckless as Yuuri used to be. Yuuri says he was a high schooler, Conrad said he didn't hate it. He accidentally touches Yuuri's neck with his finger and Yuuri kinda jumped, so Conrad gave him his scarf. Yuuri says he doesn't need it, Conrad insists. Yuuri says fine but I'll give it back, WHEN?  Conrad doesn't reply. Yuuri says, I can only get things from you but I can't get a reply. Yuuri insists, says choose a time  now. Conrad apologizes says he doesn't know his schedule before hand. Yuuri says then at least talk to your friends and brothers! Tell everyone you're ok.

Conrad gets upset and yells,even though I came here to meet you! (you're saying these things). And then he says Yuuri should just talk about himself and not ask him about him. If not, just leave. Yuuri says if you have no plans then come with me to meet Wolf and Greta. Conrad refuses, Yuuri says meet us there, Conrad says: No. Leave. He says he has things to do at the church. Even though you're not a Catholic Yuuri asks, and Conrad says yes, 'to repent'. Yuuri starts hitting him, and says he himself has countless regrets then. Then Conrad says he was the one who decided Yuuri should be on earth. Yuuri says no. Conrad says even though I knew how that would end. Yuuri says it's not his sin to bear. And Conrad says goodbye, have a good night.

and ends.

Yuuri meets with Wolfram and Greta. Just like in the story. Greta is 'upstairs' shopping with other parents. Yuuri complains, did you just leave our cute princess alone. Wolfram corrects him says that because shes 12 he shouldn't use 'cute' anymore, rather he should say beautiful or wonderful. Yuuri says he'll try. Wolf asks if he met with everyone. Yuuri says yes, they're all doing fine. Gunter owns a museum, Gurie owns a restaurant. And Conrad.... Wolf asks if he was just with him, yuuri says yes, tells him that he's a bodyguard for a celebrity. Wolf sounds sad, he said: I thought you'd bring Conrad with you. Yuuri said, I wanted to. Wolf said I thought I'd punch him in the face if I saw him, but I don't want Greta to see me like that, so I asked her to wait upstairs. Yuuri's like so that's what happened. And he apologized for not having the strength to bring him. Wolf says it's fine don't worry. -If he's doing okay that’s enough.- Yuuri says: You're really 'grown up' . Wolf complains says how much older am I than you? Yuuri says, he wasn't talking about actual years, because there's a difference with humans in development. They talk about the relationship with brothers , Yuuri with his too. He then says he couldn't really talk to Conrad and he ran away too. Wolfram says that's because Conrad has no awareness and after Yuuri he's the biggest henachoko. Yuuri says he's strict for being the youngest brother.

Wolfram says that the brothers weren't close until Yuuri came.  Then, that saying 'came' is wrong. Wolf continues: "That country.... Shin Makoku, is not our country anymore." Yuuri apologizes and Wolf says there's nothing to apologize, I won't accept any apologies. Yuuri says: BUT!

Wolf:Don't forget, the person who chose to come here, to this earth with You and Greta was me. I've never had any regrets and I never will.

Yuuri says he has tons of regrets. You’re strong.  Wolf says Of course! I'm a former soldier Yuuri says, I wasn't talking about the physical, but about your state of mind. Wolf says that's obvious too, because he's Yuuri's husband. Yuuri's like yup yup , husband huu~ And then Yuuri’s like “wait! You're the wife!” Wolf says he doesn't remember becoming his wife  Yuuri says: Eh! We find this out right after becoming newlyweds!? Wolf says it's just Yuuri having a problem understanding it. Yuuri says: Gotchu, let's talk about that in detail when we get home.  Right now we have to worry about our precious daughter, then Yuuri uses cute again, Wolf reminds him of the adjective.  Yuuri says he'll tell her she looks super beautiful and Wolf's like I've already said that to her many times! Yuuri then keeps thinking how to praise her. Wolf says don't think, feel it. What’s with the martial arts advise - Yuuri asks. Yuuri says that unlike his oniichan he can't easily say compliments. Wolf says that just looking at Greta the compliments will flow like in a fountain. Yuuri says he's bad at  Japanese  and that Wolf is like a 1000 times better than him at fashion sense. Wolf sighs and says thats why you always leave the rearing of Greta to me. He talks about the distribution of work. Wolf says and you're 'otousan' and I'm 'daddy'. Yuu says no objection there. Greta comes out, in a green dress and white cape and Yuuri and Wolf are gushing . Wolf says he wants to show her off, Yuuri says me too, but I guess I can't put her on my shoulders anymore. Wolf says true but you can let her hold your arm to escort her out. Yuuri says she can do that with 'Daddy, that he just wants to hold her hand. 

----dream ends--------- Anissina and Yuuri talk Murata calls him on the phone, to wake him up~ Murata says that because he saw the future he shouldn't have seen he'll now forget. Yuuri said it was sad except for Wolf and Greta. ----------------------- So Murata somehow makes him forget except for the good stuff, by making him cross a door from the space Yuuri was.

------------------------------- Track 2

Yuuri wakes up. Everyone is concerned (because they thought he was hurt). Murata says that he passed out after drinking the MA juice.

Wolf was super angry, was accusing Anissina of murder. Anissina appears and apologizes, but says she'll refine the MA juice and mass produce it next year.

Anissina asks about the dream:

Yuuri says he doesn't remember Murata says:what nothing? And then he sorta remembers seeing Greta’s more grown face and hair. Wolf immediately grabs him and says tell me everything how was she was she super beautiful!? Yuuri says stop shaking me my brains will come out of my ears.

Jozak says since it was a premonitory dream wasn't it about Greta 's dream of becoming your wife.

Wolfram looses it. Even though you have me you'd do something so disgusting with your own daughter! Yuuri shouts no no!!! You're wrong! Wolfram says: If you do anything to make Greta sad I won't forgive you

Yuuri says: Of course I'd never do something like that! She's my precious princess. Wolf: really?  Yuu: Of course, besides the one I'm marrying is you. Stop it with the weird ideas. Wolf: Huph~! You're being really honest. Finally accepted being my fiance? Yuuri : I don't know if I accepted it or resigned myself to it : Lately I've been thinking 'even though' it's Wolfram I'll be happy marrying him. Wolf: EVEN THOUGH!? WHAT does that mean!? Yuuri: Oh, just let it be! I'll be otousan and you'll be 'daddy' We'll be double fathers and raise Greta. Wolf (surprised): Oh, ok, that’s exactly what I wanted, but what does 'daddy' mean Yuuri says: I thought I'had told you about being father. Wolf's like no... but OK! "Daddy" thats good. (another dictionary scene, dame and ocha ).

Jozak compliments the family scene and says: let me be a part~ Wolf complains but Jozak says he doesn't have anyone~ Conrad says: If Jozak's joining can I join too? Wolf complains more says he won't let anyone interrupt them. Conrad says he needs to let Yuuri decide. Wolf says, Yuuri should scold Conrad for being so brazen~

Yuuri's like : What are you all talking about?

Conrad: We're talking about how since I'm not married, I don't mind being around his Majesty.

Wolfram: We're not talking about that Murata says btw didn't Cherie have a collection of men? Wolfram sad: yeah.... the maou's harem Yuuri remembers the macho guys Jozak says: If Conrad's joining (the harem) so will I~ Wolfram: Gurie, you like Anissina, she's still single. How about you go over there? Jozak: I'm getting kicked out suddenly. Oh no Third Son Excellency you're too stingy! Wolf : It's fine to be, The seats here have been occupied, go ahead and take one next to Anissina. Jozak says : Wolf’s being dumb, that there's no room between his beloved Anissina-chan ,and his most respected Excellency Gwendal.

And he points at them: Anissina then says since Yuuri couldn't remember she has to find a way. So she chooses Gwen as subject. He refuses a few times. She puts him in a box. It's MISEMASHOW. A dream theater that will let her see his dreams. She pulls out another bottle and force feeds him the MA JUICE (lord)

The machine starts electrocuting him

People watching say it's terrible. Jozak says that Cherie said that if Anissina hurt him, she'd have to take responsibility. Conrad reminds everyone of the zombie arm and starting to melt. So Jozak says he can't interrupt those two,

Then Jozak says: Muraken Geika~! I can be your Highness dog any time and do it happily, just let me know ... Murata says: Oh, but I'm a holy man~ Yuuri: What are you talking about? Anissina says Trick or Treat And Gwen cries it’s not a mischief or something like that -------------------------------

Seiyuus talk They talked about their dreams and if they were came true. The nicest thing about this talk is how all the seiyuus are kind of excited about more material coming out? I don't know if it's wishful thinking or if they know something, but it's very exciting.

Notes;  This chapter is to fill the prompt 'Boo' all will be revealed.

************************************

 Today is Halloween which only meant it was Halloween party later on that night. There was a lot of preparations to be made before then. Mulder woke up several hours ago to a very naked Scully, her skin was quite warm to the touch, she must have disposed of her clothes during the night.  He could feel his erection already starting to build. How could it not, he had the women of his dreams sleeping peacefully next to him her perfect breasts so round full and exquisite, her little round ass crushing into his pelvis. 

He kissed into her neck and she woke up slowly to them, he could tell she was awake but simply enjoying what he was doing. He scooted towards her knowing it would make her hum or moan.

“Happy All Hallows Eve Scully.”

“Mmm, Good Morning Mulder.”

“I’m very thirsty for you,”  he said in between bites and nibbles in his best Dracula type voice.

He couldn't see her but knew she rolled her eyes at the comment. She soon lost all cognitive speech as she felt his fingers thread over her stomach. He nuzzled into her hair as her hand reached behind her and started stroking his length from root to tip.

“Scully, Jesus.”

He felt her giggle as he placed his hands on her shoulders, bringing her back flush to the mattress. He looked deeply in her eyes seeing nothing but love and adoration from her. They were nose to nose just staring at each other. He lay there on top of her sketching her face in his mind forevermore.  His heartbeat was getting louder and louder inside his ears. Feeling the rush of blood flow down into his body he brought his mouth to hers.

 In that split second before his very touch on her body made every nerve electrify.  It's the anticipation, the suspense, the build-up. Making her crave his body more and more. His mouth wasn’t enough, his touch wasn't enough she needed more, she wanted to feel every inch of him covering her body filling her up making her cry out in pleasure. 

He stopped kissing her and looked down at her face, her lips pink and swollen and body flush with arousal he kissed the way down her midsection leaving little red blotches in his wake. He kissed one breast, taking the whole nipple and flesh into his mouth sucking and biting she was writhing and moaning calling his name over and over. He soon moved to the other breast giving that one the same attention as the first. 

He moved his mouth down to her thighs then to her knees slightly pinching them and tickling them. He opened her legs to get better access as he worked his mouth on the inside of her thighs before stopping at the apex of her legs. He could smell her arousal so beautiful and sweet like honey, her smell so addictive he could never get enough, he moved his fingers down the sides of her body and through her slick folds before his mouth descended on her clit. 

Her body was shaking uncontrollably his actions perfect and magical she didn’t know what he was doing with that tongue to make it feel so perfect and she didn't care. Her hands wove through his soft silky hair. Her body was buzzing, his every touch even a slight one as light as his shoulder next to her thigh felt electrified. Then all at once, he felt like he was everywhere from the tips of toes to the top of his head, his body ignited with a flurry of sensations as her body writhed beneath his, her climax taking over every millimetre of her body. 

He lay there and watched as her body came undone, she honestly didn’t know how beautiful she was especially in the heightened sense of pleasure where all inhibitions and exceptions went out the window and she became completely primal it was completely breathtaking to watch. He watched her come back to reality, his body once again flush against hers.

She opened her crystal blue eyes and stared at the depths of his hazel ones. He began to speak and she was mesmerized by his voice. She felt him slip inside her she hummed but listened to what he was saying

“You are my drug, Scully. One-touch and the intoxication is instant. Whatever you want to do is what we'll do and there isn't a thing I can do to stop you - not that I'd want to. Just your scent sends me into a heady trance, one that doesn't end until our bodies are still once more, just warm and snuggled in as close as two souls can be.”

He was slowly pumping inside her taking his time like they had all the time in the world. She was rendered speechless as one lone tear slipped at the corner of her eye. He saw it and looked instantly worried. She saw his face and hushed words to reassure him.

“They are happy tears I promise I just feel truly blessed,” she wanted him to feel some of the passion and love that he was showing her. She felt her hand on his lower back, her legs on either side of his naked body as she squeezed her hips to let him know she was ok for him to lose control.

His rhythm increased and his body felt slick against her own, his head fell to the crook of her neck, her hand raking his back she was close but she also knew he was closer. Her breathing changing, she heard her moans timed to his thrusts. Her heart was racing and matching his, in seconds his lips were upon hers again and it was just long enough to intoxicate her mind before he stopped again. His body went rigid his thrusts stopped he emptied himself inside him.

“Oh, God, Scully,”  he mumbled out in the heat of the moment and hearing her name from his lips sent her into the abyss right alongside him feeling her walls clutch him hugging him her body soul melding with his and floating off into the sky, floating away with the morning sun. 

He lay on top of her and suddenly feeling guilty for his weight so he moved by her side but she soon missed him and he felt the rush of her heat at his side as she placed her head on her chest. Each listening to each others breathing letting the moment sink in and not letting it pass by. 

//

A few hours later mid-morning/early afternoon. 

The sun was high in the sky and it was semi-warm for October. They had been in the main house for a while trying to help make the house suitable for a party.  The french doors were open creating a small breeze. Scully had been pretending to bake some sort of chocolate blood orange cookies, but instead, she had been watching Mulder move furniture. He had taken his shirt off several minutes ago he was dripping with sweet his hair was going in several different directions. She could not help but admire his physique with his toned chest and ripped stomach muscles. His little patch of hair that started just underneath his trouser line and up his stomach. She licked her lips and she started at his arms they had got a lot bigger in recent months everything had. She knew he had been running, and swimming a lot more but she also knew he had been boxing at the FBI gym she just never really found the time to appreciate it. 

She stopped looking at his body and looked up at his face to find his green eyes staring at her, watching her watching him. She turned her head away quickly hoping he didn't catch her blush. Next thing she felt was his wet body come behind her his hands wrapping around her stomach and he kissed her neck. 

“If you got it to haunt it.” 

She fully belly laughed and her head fell back into his wet naked shoulder.

“How much more do you have to do.”

“Not much, I need to move two more tables and then place the food trays on them, the boys said they're hanging the decorations since they have the ladder and then it's time for us to start getting ready for the par-tay.”

“How many people are coming?”

“Not that many or so I've been told,  as you know they don’t trust many.”

He let go and she nodded and placed the last batch of cookies into the oven.

“What’s got, you so worried Scully?”

“Nothing I just want it to be special, it’s our first Halloween as a couple.”

He looked at her in a certain way and let her words sink in, he couldn’t be any more in love with her it wasn't possible. The fact she was worried it wasn’t going to be special because it was their first Halloween together made his soul hurt.

“The fact that I am with you and knowing you love me makes it special because without you I am nothing.”

She placed the oven mitts on the kitchen table and gave him a kiss as a thank you they stayed like this for a few minutes before they broke apart to start on the finishing touches for later this evening. 

//

Early evening.  

They had agreed to get ready in separate rooms and then they would both be surprised at each other's costumes but Mulder made Scully promise they would end up in the same room after the party. And her reply was ‘as if it were a question’ which made him laugh.

Mulder was putting the finishing touches on his Beetlejuice outfit there was half an hour left before the party would begin. He had sprayed his hair green before putting on the black and white striped outfit. He took one last look in the full-length mirror before walking across the landing into their shared bedroom. He knocked and heard her shout to come in. He walked in but she was nowhere to be seen. And within a couple of seconds, his heart fell to his stomach as he saw Scully's outfit.

She was wearing a white shirt with jagged rips all the way through with splattered fake blood on it. She was also wearing a tartan mini skirt also covered in fake blood, her legs covered by an off white knee-high sock with a small bow. At the top, her hair frizzy and wild. Her face paint was grey with black sunken eyes her lips bright red and fake blood dripping from them. 

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing his little angel Scully had dressed as a schoolgirl zombie.

“You’re a Zom-babe.”  

She watched as his eyes went as black as little saucers as he raked his eyes up and down her body watching his eyes made a blush creep onto her face. Thank God for this face paint. 

“Mulder you don’t look too bad yourself, I didn’t know you were a Beetlejuice fan.”

“It’s a classic Scully.”

“I have something for you Mulder.” she walked towards him holding a white envelope and suddenly he had a worried look on his face. “It’s nothing to be worried about Mulder I promise.”

He nodded and took the white envelope from her hands. He looked at both sides and it was completely blank and she was giving nothing away. He opened the envelope careful not to rip the contents which lay within. 

He took out the card and flipped it to see what was on the front. His eyes scanned what was there. Which was a cartoon ghost with a speech bubble that read, “Boo there is a surprise that waits for you.”

He smiled and opened the card and inside the card it read, “No Trick.. Just A Treat! Our family is growing by two little feet. Introducing Baby Mulder due March 2020.”

He couldn’t believe what he read so he read that page over and over again he was in shock. He finally looked up to see her smiling from ear to ear her eyes were alight with joy. 

“Is this true?” he managed to stutter out in his shocked state. She nodded her face still plastered in a smile 

“How far along are you?”

“About 12 weeks I'm due about the 11 March. ”

“How? 

“When the birds and the bees get together the stork brings...”

“Alright I get it,” he said sheepishly, “I didn’t think you could have children?” he asked confused. 

“The doctors always said there was a 98 percent chance I could never get pregnant as there wasn’t enough ova that reside there but it seems that you have super sperm.”

Now he was grinning from ear to ear, he was like a boy in a candy shop and the shopkeeper told him he could have anything he wanted.

Tears of joy started slipping from his eyes, “Me.. You.. A baby?”

He hugged her and kissed her with a passion of a thousand suns before kneeling down in front of her stomach kissing it.

“Hi baby I’m your Daddy, you’re Mommy and I are going to love you till the end of the universe,”  he was the happiest man alive he loved her and he loved this child they had created together. 

She watched as he felt her stomach and talking to the baby she knew that he or she could not hear Mulder but she wasn’t about to ruin this moment.  

“Mulder we need to get going or they are going to send out a search party.”

“I love you Scully.”

“I love you too Mulder, always.”

He stood up and smiled taking her small hand inside his large one and interlocking their fingers he lead her outside the bedroom and down the stairs and towards the main building. It took no more than five minutes for them to arrive at the main building the sky was dark and the stars shone brightly above them and everything had changed for the better. The party was in full swing as they arrived. The disco lights were shining from corner to corner, highlighting the walls with decorations, balloons, cobwebs and fake spiders. A smoke machine was making everything foggy it would truly be a Halloween party to remember. 

“Mulder. Scully Nice to see you”

“Wow, Frohike the Ghostbusters really?” Scully said laughing.  

“Yeah, the plasma guns even shoot real plasma.”

“I really don’t want to know,” she smiled. 

“Hey, my man what's got you so happy?”

“Nothing just brilliant surprises that’s all.”

“If you say so,” he muttered but soon picked up again “Right, you two no sex in the bathroom this time because  I  am not cleaning it up.” They both turned bright red in remembrance of that night. “Anyway enjoy that night you know where the alcohol and food so help yourselves.”

Mulder leads Scully towards the punch bowl as promised there weren't many people at the party and knowing the Lone Gunman the way he did he told Scully to stay away from the punch as it was packed full of alcohol to get everyone blitzed. He grabbed a cup full of juice and grabbed himself a beer finding a small table to sit and talk about the last hour. 

Lucky the music was on low and they could hear themselves.

“Thank you for not telling the Lone Gunman.”

“My pleasure I took the initiative that you wanted to tell you, mom, first ”

“Yes I do, but you’re the first person I told.”

“You’re my everything Scully always,” he put his hand inside her’s and they smiled at each other truly happy in the moment. 

They spent the next couple of hours just enjoying the company around them as well as spending time with each other. His hand kept returning to her stomach and he whispered sweet nothings in her ear. They both joined in with the classic party song and even joined in on the Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. and seeing Mulder sing the song over ecstatically made Scully laugh so hard, everyone stared at him but she knew he was only singing for her. 

They were now slow dancing in each other's arms her head was on his chest listening to the lull of his heartbeat.

“We should get going before it starts back up.”

“What do you mean?  Everything is winding down.”

“Trust me, Scully, it doesn't stay that way for long.

She did trust him with her life and her heart and she linked her arm inside his and headed home for the night but managed to grab a few pieces of chocolate cake before exiting the door. He looked at her suspiciously and she smirked mischievously.  

Several hours later Mulder was sitting staring out of the window into the open ocean as waves hitting the sand silently. The small grains of sand being washed away swirling, turning, floating into open waters. The moon cascading its white glow of the ocean's surface. His mind was in a whirlwind of emotions, Scully had told him they were having a baby. That she got pregnant, that he had got her pregnant. Their love had blossomed, this was a miracle and he was ecstatic, he had wanted a family since the last time they were in the quaint house. He didn’t mine a boy or a girl he just wanted it healthy. Though if he thought about it he could imagine a little girl with Scully’s hair and freckles but with his eyes and her nose.. Or a little boy with his hair and blue eyes with small freckles he smiled at the thought. 

He turned away from the view and he wanted to keep up the tradition of reading a story or two a night and maybe reading will help settle his mind and let him fall asleep. He crept into the room and watched as Scully's body rose and fell with her deep breathes. She had fallen asleep virtually as soon as she got through the door. He crept in the room grabbing the book from the bedside table before exiting and creeping back down the stairs grabbing a blanket along the way. He got comfortable on the sofa and began to read out loud. 

“In a conversation with Mrs. Peggy Balley at the bus station in Williamston, my first book ‘Historical and Traditional Tar Heel Stories’ was mentioned. Legends are among my favourites, Mrs. Bailey said that her mother, Mrs. John Mobley, who lives on  Prison Camp Road, might give me some stories. I got in touch with Mrs. Mobley, and the following story was the result.” he was very intrigued and carried on reading. 

“On one occasion Mr. and Mrs. Mobley visited his mother, Mrs Jane Bowen, who lived near Bear Grass, During the night they were awakened by a noise in the yard. Mr.  Mobley went to the door and called out ‘What’s going on out there?’ The noise stopped for a few minutes and they returned to bed Mr. and Mrs. Mobley were not satisfied, so they went back into the yard and listened closely. This time they heard a baby crying. They followed the cries, which led them to her sisters home a short distance away.”

“Upon reaching her sisters home, they called her. She came to the door and Mr. and Mrs. Mobley told her about the babies cries. She went into the yard with them and they all listened carefully, hearing the baby crying again. They searched all around the house and the area near by, while the cries grew more faint the finally faded away. The mysterious phenomena were never solved. however, a short time after this Mrs. Mobley’s brother dies. Prior to his death, his baby girl had died. The family often thought that this peculiar occurrence, in some strange way, was concerned with the babies cries and the father’s death they wondered if, by some coincidence, the baby was crying for her father to meet her in heaven. After all, he died soon afterwards.” his eyes grew heavy and everything went black.

The funniest thing is that Americans are so loud screaming about 'Cultural Appropriation' (which is such a sketchy topic overall) but then go ahead and appropriate European culture (Eurovision) and they say nothing because obviously Europe has no culture that can be appropriated. It doesn't matter how many times they make fun of kilts or wear matador outfits or make fun of vikings or forget about the native and indigenous groups Europe has, you are hated on for wearing braids. Hypocrites🖕🏼

oof, so... ok. i mean, as a white european woman i generally try to listen to what POC say is/isn’t appropriation of their culture, and take my cues from them (rather than other white ppl) and i think you and I probably disagree on its importance - i don’t think it’s a sketchy topic, i think it’s a very valid criticism of white people’s continual disregard and costumisation of stuff that does have real significance and importance to those cultures (the headdresses worn by people from various native american tribes are a good example - from what i’ve read they are most comparable to military badges of honour and are symbols of real respect and valor to those communities that have to be earned, so white ppl making cheap knock offs for halloween costumes/festival outfits is really disrespectful). Equally, the issue (as i understand it) with things like dreadlocks is more to do with the fact POC are often seen as dirty/unkempt for wearing their hair that way while white people do it as a fashion statement and get praise and credit for it.

That said, I do generally agree about the idea that americans are pretty clueless about european culture and the huge differences in culture between european countries. And i’m sure that plays a role in the way this american song contest is ONLY for the US states - i think they see the difference between, say, Denmark and Italy as comparable to the difference between Georgia and Pennsylvania. Sure they’re different, but they’re still american. Sure, greece and switzerland are different, but they’re still european. So taking this continent-wide contest and making it an interstate competition doesn’t feel like such a big deal. And you’re absolutely right that native european communities are rarely, if ever, included in American’s conversations about cultural appropriation (although i think that’s probably because native european culture isn’t really what americans are appropriating anyway).

I also want to be clear that i don’t think that an american version of ESC is inherently appropriative, or even problematic. I think there are ways it could have been done that I would have absolutely been in board with. As i mentioned in some of my initial posts reacting to the announcement, my biggest problem with it is that they are taking the concept, warping it away from its actual format, and completely ignoring the purpose and history behind esc - a purpose and history that ABSOLUTELY play in to the way europeans view the contest as a whole.

I said in one post that eurovision isn’t actually about winning at all - but to americans it will be, because that concept of it crossing national borders to bring people together to heal after wwii won’t exist for them. I touched on how making it a series rather than an event makes it feel less special, and takes away that feeling of this one night a year where everyone gets to be at the same big party together. The problems with the american song contest are not that the americans are making their own version of a european program. It’s that they are taking the name and branding and throwing away everything that actually makes ESC so special.

Interestingly, this actually makes it far MORE similar to the generally agreed upon idea of cultural appropriation than i think we’ve ever seen with european culture. Most of the time when americans really latch on to part of the euroscene it’s with respect for the history behind it - at least more so than when they take other, non-white cultures. I’ll roll my eyes at the way they sometimes play pretend at this cartoon version of upper class english lifestyle but it’s not exactly offensive or dismissive. But this.. is. What they’ve announced they are planning for the ASC.... is. It says “this is a big event that gets crazy attention and we want to get involved but only if we can twist it and warp it and edit it into something palatable and familiar to our OWN culture, even if that means removing the very things that make it important to yours”.

EVEN THEN, however, without that backdrop of abuse and exploitation, it’s not as sinister for them to make this knockoff ESC than it is to turn Cinco de Mayo into an excuse to get drunk and party. The context behind these things matters. And while I think it’s fair to be critical of the way they’ve taken something like eurovision and are turning into just another american idol with the fun gimmick of states competing, I disagree with the dismissive tone you took in this message surrounding cultural appropriation.

Honestly, you’re complaining about american hypocracy while being just as hypocritical yourself. Yes, it’s wrong for them to take something like ESC and do... whatever it is they’re trying to do to it to make it their own. But if you can recognise that, and feel that about a song contest, can you not practice the same understanding for the POC are calling out the appropriation of far more significant aspects of their cultures?

(Also, europeans don’t get to hoist all the blame for all this onto the US. We started that trend. We colonised those countries and killed and abused those people so we could claim their land and their foods and their resources for ourselves. We don’t get to deny the role we played.)

Hiding. Part 83a (NSFW)

Cowritten with @disastrousintention.

-x-

It had been a funny old week but it was suddenly the day of the combined Halloween and housewarming party and the children were excited to be having a party! The twins couldn’t stop squealing and giggling. The decorating of the house was in full swing. Charlie was watching Duffy from afar, practically perving on her backside as he held Paul in his arms.

Duffy was fully aware that her husband's gaze was firmly on her, however much he tried to pretended to be otherwise occupied. As such she made a point of slowly bending from the waist to pick things up from the floor, her back towards him, rather than crouching down.

He stepped closer to her. Distracted by her, once again.

"We'll never get this house decorated in time if you just stand around gawping." She giggled without turning around.

“I’m simply admiring the very attractive view in my eye line.” He answered back.

"Wait til you see my costume." She teased, wiggling her bottom as she stood up.

“Ooh, am I going to be in a bit of a mess?” He asked, rubbing Paul’s back.

"Well I definitely think you'll appreciate it." She smirked.

“Do I get to show you how much I appreciate it later on?”

"I'd be very disappointed if you didn't."

“I’ll make sure to pleasure you every which way in it, later.”

"I look forward to it." She lent forward and gave him a quick kiss before going back to decorating.

He sighed contently and went back trying to decorate, trying to ignore the feelings he had inside.

Peter finally came down from his room to help his parents with getting ready for the party. He was trying not to get too anxious. For the last few weeks he and Sarah had been on a break to see if they still wanted to be together. He'd invited her to tonight's party in the hopes of rekindling their relationship as he really missed her.

“You ok?” Charlie asked Peter, as he noticed one of the signs that he was anxious.

"Sarah hasn't replied to say if she's coming tonight." Peter replied sullenly.

“You’re still on a break?” He asked sadly.

Peter nodded, a big sigh the only audible reply he gave.

“You really miss her, don’t you?”

"Yeh. You probably think that's silly don't you?"

“No I don’t.”

"The lads at college think it is."

“The lads at college don’t know what love is.”

"They say there's plenty of other pretty girls, that I should just get over her."

“You don’t ever forget your first love, Peter.”

"Hmm." Peter mumbled before going back to preparing for the party.

He sighed, Sarah was a lovely girl but it seemed they’d simply grown apart.

The twins came running through the hallway pretending to turn each other into frogs with their magic wands.

“Ah!” Charlie squealed. “There’s frogs in the hallway!!”

"They're not real, you're so silly daddy!" Tilly giggled.

“The frogs aren’t real?”

Hearing his sisters talking Oli started bouncing up and down pretending to be a frog.

"I swear some days this house is like living in a zoo!" Duffy chuckled.

“Definitely, I agree with you babe.” Charlie called back.

About half an hour later the house was decorated and the grown ups were finally able to get changed into their costumes for the party.

Charlie’s eyes nearly popped out of his head when he discovered Duffy’s outfit for the party!

Like her daughters Duffy had chosen a witch's costume for the party but hers had more of an adult spin. The loose pleated layers that hung from the empire waist to just above her knees nicely hid the fact that she still carried some remaining extra baby weight whilst drawing attention to her larger bust and shapely legs that were encased in stockings and stilettos.

She was gorgeous! That extra baby weight Charlie loved and couldn’t get enough of, never mind her breasts. “You look fantastic!” He whispered in her ear.

"I thought you'd like it." She giggled. "Is that really what you're going to wear?" She questioned with a raised eyebrow as she took in his attire.

“Yes, do you have anything else I should wear?” He asked.

"I've made an effort..!" She pouted.

“I have made an effort. And please don’t pout whilst you’re dressed like that.”

"I don't know what you mean..." She pushed her bottom lip out further as she leant against the doorframe that led through to the bathroom.

“Duffy,” He groaned as he began to harden.

"Yes..?"

“You’re getting me really hard.” He stepped towards her and ran his hand under her dress, his fingertips brushing against her knickers.

Her reply was cut off by the sound of the doorbell ringing as the first of their guests arrived.

He groaned. “I’ll be down in five, I need to get rid of this.” He pointed to his crotch.

An hour later the party was in full swing, music playing, drinks flowing and laughter ringing out. The children were having just as much fun as the adults.

Some of the staff from the hospital were arriving later after they'd finished their shifts. Duffy was unimpressed to see that Maggie was amongst the group.

Charlie’s hand stroked Duffy’s lower back and he kissed her earlobe. “I say, when the kids are asleep, we’ll sneak off for ten minutes.”

"I like the sound of that." She murmured, purposefully leaning into Charlie as she gave Maggie a filthy look.

His hand went under her dress, “Or maybe I should fuck you somewhere Maggie can hear us?” He whispered, his fingertips stroking the top of her knickers.

"You are a bad, bad man..!" Duffy purred, her eyes full of lustful fire.

“Leave it with me.” He kissed her earlobe.

"Just give me the signal." She giggled before heading off to mingle amongst their friends.

True to his word, once the kids were asleep, especially the younger ones, Charlie gave Duffy the eye and pulled her into the downstairs bathroom.

She giggled as she locked the door behind them. "If my mother gets wind of this you're a dead man, you do realise that?"

“I’ll take my chances.”

"Last I saw she was chatting to Josh. Hopefully he'll keep her occupied."

“Your mum is aware of how babies are made right?” He smirked, “Or are you talking about me fucking you in the downstairs bathroom?”

"Oh trust me if you fucking me in this bathroom leads to a baby being made my mum really will string you up!"

“Probably by my balls.” His hand slipped into her knickers.

"That's if she doesn't chop them off first!"

Charlie groaned painfully. “Ouch!” His fingertips stroked over her. “You’re wet.”

"You weren't the only one who got excited earlier."

“I could tell by the fire in your eyes.” He removed his fingers and sucked them before sliding her knickers off.

Duffy wrapped her arms around his back and pulled him closer, her right foot resting on the toilet seat as she lent back against the wall.

He inserted two fingers into her and moaned against her neck.

She bit her bottom lip to stifle her moan.

His fingers began to move inside of her, his other hand freeing her breasts from her dress.

Her nipples hardened instantly as his fingertips brushed across them.

“You’ve got a perfect set of tits.” He whispered as his fingertips continued to brush against her nipples.

She smiled shyly, blushing.

His fingers probed deeper, just as he took one of her nipples into his mouth and licked it.

"Fuck!" She moaned.

“Oh fuck!” He sucked her nipple slightly before paying attention to the other one.

She moved her hands to pull at the waistband of his trousers.

He removed his fingers from her and held her gaze as he sucked his fingers.

Freeing his cock she licked her lips as she ran her fingernails along it.

“God...” He groaned loudly feeling her hand. “Fucking hell, babe.”

"Fuck me now!" She demanded, smirking.

“I don’t need telling twice.” He guided himself into her and thrusted into her, hard.

"Charlie!" She gasped.

“Holy shit!” He gasped, feeling her clench around him.

She tried desperately to think sensibly but it was proving hard. "Charlie... We need to... Oh fuck!"

“Need to what?” He asked, his thrusts hard and deep.

"Be careful." She gasped.

“I won’t fill you.” He groaned, his hand grabbed her breast. “Fuck, you’re so tight.”

"Not on my dress!"

“Baby!” He moaned again.

She cut off his moans with a passionate kiss.

He sucked on her tongue.

Her fingernails dug into his shoulders as she neared her peak.

He purposely slowed down as he felt her near her peak.

"Fuck! Charlie!" She moaned.

“Baby.” He groaned, kissing her earlobe.

She buried her face in his shoulder to muffle her moans as she came.

Feeling her tremble, he continued to thrust inside of her. Slowly and teasingly, he wanted her to come again.

She scratched her nails across his skin as she clenched around him.

“Your pussy feels so good when it clenches around my cock.” He whispered, kissing her earlobe.

"You're a naughty boy!" She gasped.

“Why? Because I like watching you come?”

"Just make sure you don't!"

“I won’t.” He moaned, “Does it make you wet knowing people could hear us fucking?”

"Yes! Oh yes!"

“I can feel just how wet it makes you.”

Suddenly there was a bang on the door.

“Ssh,” Charlie whispered, his thrusts increasing.

Duffy couldn't help letting out a moan that was swiftly muffled by Charlie's hand.

His thrusts continued to increase in depth.

She licked his hand that was across her mouth.

He whispered in her ear, “Moan for me.” He moved his hand away from her mouth slightly.

She did as he demanded as the knocking became louder and more insistent.

“I’m trying to have a poo in here.” Charlie called, “Come back in five.” He told the person knocking on the other side of the door.

"Charlie!" She hissed, giggling.

“It’s distracting.” He giggled softly himself, maintaining his speed and depth of his thrusts. He was adamant on bringing her to a second climax.

She would have said more but he quickly had her distracted once more. Damn him!

One hand moved down her front and began to rub her clit.

His actions quickly elicited the desired effect.

He pulled out of her quickly, “I’m gonna come.”

She attempted to move quickly to her knees but was only partially successful.

Charlie ended up coming over her breasts. By some sort of miracle, not a drop landed on her dress.

"You did that on purpose!" She scolded him playfully.

Marvel’s WandaVision Episode 7: MCU Easter Eggs and Reference Guide

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This article contains WandaVision episode 7 spoilers and potential spoilers for future episodes and the wider MCU.

WandaVision episode 7 is probably the final episode that is going to adhere to the sitcom format. As we’ve seen in recent episodes, the show is spending more and more time in the confines of the “real” MCU, and with its TV homages now brought up to modern day, it can spend its final two episodes bringing more surprises and wrapping up its incredibly ambitious story.

But WandaVision episode 7 is ambitious enough in itself, and like previous episodes, it’s positively full of Marvel Comics Easter eggs and pieces that will likely expand the scope of the MCU as we know it.

Let’s see what we found…

Sitcom Influences

This episode takes WandaVision up to the mockumentary era of television, which featured shows like The Office (U.K. and U.S.), Parks and Recreation, and Modern Family. Characters routinely talk to producers offscreen in confessional-style interviews. The Vision’s microphone is even visible in one instance, clipped to the chest.

The episode draws most of its inspiration and look from Modern Family, probably merely because the premise of Wanda’s “modern family” fits more closely to Westview than an office environment would. The Office does get a major shoutout in the twee opening credits though.

We wrote more about the sitcom influences of this episode here.

Wanda

Wanda wakes up still wearing most of her “Sokovian fortune teller” costume from Halloween, so this episode takes place on Nov. 1st, the morning after the previous episode. Elsewhere in the episode, we learn that just about the entire scope of what we’ve seen (other than flashbacks to Monica’s return from “The Blip”) has taken place over one week.

“Don’t let him make you the villain,” Monica pleads with Wanda. There is some legit commentary here. Assorted “hims” have been making Wanda the villain of her own story since John Byrne did it with a run on West Coast Avengers in the late 1980s. We remain unconvinced that Wanda is actually a malevolent force.

Of course Wanda’s weakness is someone asking her to kill them. That’s where a big chunk of her recent trauma comes from!

The cereal Wanda is fetching in the kitchen at the start of the episode is called Sugar Snaps, though you’d think Wanda would have had quite enough of Snaps. It also had a clown on the box! In the previous episode, Wanda turned a bunch of SWORD agents into clowns. The cereal’s name is also a subtle anachronism, lots of cereals used to prominently have “Sugar” in their names before they were replaced with more innocuous words like “honey” or “corn.”

The Commercial: Nexus

As usual, the fake commercials have a lot going on, and this one for an antidepressant known as Nexus is no different.

The Nexus of All Realities is a magical area in Marvel that acts as a gateway to various other dimensions. In the comics, it’s located in a swamp in New Orleans and is guarded by the mute creature Man-Thing.

Wanda herself is also a Nexus Being. It is incredibly convoluted, but the shortest explanation possible that doesn’t involve telling you about the time John Byrne quit Avengers West Coast mid-storyline for being edited is: Wanda’s probability altering powers make her capable of altering the future, even once it’s set. That allows Wanda to change the paths that would lead to the creation of, for example, the Time Keepers we saw statues of in the Loki trailer.

At Agnes’ house, Billy and Tommy are watching Yo Gabba Gabba on and they’re singing “Jumpy Jump” though “Puppet Master” would have been more on the nose. “Jumpy Jump” might just be a hint that The Hex is a Nexus multiversal jump point. 

There’s another potential Nexus connection, too. NEXUS is where Tony found JARVIS in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

We wrote more about the Marvel significance of “Nexus” here. 

Billy and Tommy

Billy and Tommy, like most kids their age, seem to love video games. Since this episode is modeled after Modern Family (2009), it makes sense that they’re playing games on the Nintendo Wii console, the Japanese publisher’s main platform from 2006 to 2012. 

But the sudden shifts in reality mean that the Wii doesn’t stay a Wii for long. We watch as Billy and Tommy’s Wiimotes transform into GameCube controllers (2001) and then Atari 2600 joystick controllers (1977), both of which seem to fit the eras in which previous episodes of WandaVision are set.

Both of the boys continue to wear their comic book colors. Tommy’s not just wearing green like his “Speed” alter ego, but he’s straight up wearing a tracksuit.

The Darkhold?

It appears that Agatha is keeping the Darkhold in her basement. Well, it WOULD if it weren’t for the fact that this book looks very different from the way that it was represented on Marvel TV shows like Agents of SHIELD or Runaways. 

But if it WERE the Darkhold, this incredibly powerful book would have been written by Chthon, a demon/elder god who has figured prominently in various Wanda and Agatha Harkness stories over the years. It’s said that this book is what created the first vampire (hmmmm…the MCU does have a Blade movie in the works), created werewolves (surely it’s only a matter of time before Werewolf by Night shows up…on the upcoming Moon Knight series, perhaps), and more. If the MCU is going down a more supernatural route for some of its future installments, then the Darkhold would be a key piece of that.

But again, this looks very different than the Darkhold we’ve seen on these other shows.

Reed Richards…you coming or what?

Still no sign of the mysterious “aerospace engineer,” but does the mockumentary/sitcom tone this episode shares with The Office tease John Krasinski’s arrival as Reed Richards?

Monica Rambeau

The official uniform Monica is wearing under her space suit looks very much like some of the outfits she has worn in various superheroic identities in the comics, including when she was Captain Marvel. It’s appropriate since this episode is another big step in her superheroic origin story, and now there’s no more question that she’s gaining powers from her repeated trips through the Hex.

It’s almost certainly Monica’s new powers that allow her to make it through the Hex this time, and when she comes out she can see energy patterns and signatures.

Monica sticks the trademark “Superhero Landing” when she’s confronting Wanda. As Deadpool will attest, it’s really hard on your knees. Totally impractical, but they all do it.

When Agnes is dragging Wanda into her house, Wanda points at Monica and the whole thing is framed like the “two ladies yelling at the white cat” meme. Impossible to unsee. Fun fact: the white cat’s real name is Smudge.

Contact

Monica’s journey through The Hex pays homage to the special effects technique Robert Zemeckis used in the wormhole sequence for 1997’s Contact. During the scene in question, versions of Jodie Foster’s face appear to ghost out from her body, voicing her internal thoughts and memories. By the time Monica emerges from the Hex barrier, she is “ok to go” as a superpowered being. 

Contact’s central character, Ellie Arroway, is a woman who has lost her whole family but suppresses her grief and feels all alone in the universe. Can’t see a WandaVision connection here, no sir!

Is this just a tribute to the cult Zemeckis sci-fi movie or is there more to it? Maybe those wondering if the mysterious aerospace engineer will turn out to be Blue Marvel/Mister Fantastic/Doctor Doom have never considered Contact star Matthew McConaughey as a possibility for one of the latter two roles? We might remind you he’s been desperate for a part in the MCU for years.

Wundagore

Did we see a flash of a Wundagore Everbloom when the plants in Wanda’s house were changing? In Marvel Comics, the Everbloom was a wedding present from Agatha Harkness to Wanda and Vision, and only grows on Wundagore Mountain (where Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were raised). It lets you see the future if you put a dab leaf on your tongue.

The fact that whatever this is seems to have taken over the basement makes us think of the Yo Magic commercial from last week, which implied that someone (or something) is perhaps feeding off Wanda’s powers.

Agatha Harkness

Agnes is finally revealed as Agatha Harkness in this episode, complete with an absolutely perfect theme song. The brilliant “Agatha All Along” tune is absolutely a pastiche of the Munsters theme, only with lyrics.

At the end of the song, “And I killed Sparky too!” is a good take on the infamous Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch line, “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!”

This show has been about Wanda finding her own agency through pain and about counterpointing all the misogyny in her history. For it to be Agnes manipulating her would be a betrayal of the point of the show so far. Not only that, in the comics, Agatha Harkness is generally depicted as an ally of Wanda’s. So we’re betting that “It was Agatha all along” is a red herring, and either Agatha is also being manipulated by an outside force, or Wanda is just putting that villainy on her without knowing the whole story.

Read all our speculation about who the REAL WandaVision villain is here.

In the comics, Agatha’s familiar is a cat named Ebony. Her rabbit being named “Senor Scratchy” is enough of a nod to that while also referencing Agatha’s evil son Nicholas Scratch.

While Agnes was able to trick Vision by pretending to be another victim driven insane by being in the Hex, Billy is unknowingly able to see past that by noticing that there isn’t any psychic pain underneath her performance.

Agnes’ brooch is clearly visible in all of the shots of her. That brooch has three sisters on it, but we still don’t know what it means. It feels so prominent that it has to mean something, though. 

The Post Credits Scene

Wanda is pretty certain that the “Uncle Peter” we met in the previous episodes is most certainly not her brother. The Agatha reveal would seem to back this up, as does his kind of menacing presence (“snoopers gonna snoop”) in the post-credits scene. But if he isn’t Pietro Maximoff, then who the heck is he?

We have some theories here.

Random Stuff and Unanswered Questions

When we saw the first flashback to the borders of the Hex expanding, the drums sound a little bit like The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.” We can’t be sure, though…so we’re not putting this down as a Mephisto clue. THIS TIME.

In the middle of the intro, one of the screens says in cut-up letters, “I know what u are doing Wanda.” Creepy.

As Darcy chats Vision through his past, she tells him she’s been watching WandaVision for the past week. We’ve been watching it a lot longer than that, Miss Lewis, and we’re still not sure what’s really going on.

The calendar in the intro has a heart over the 10th, but the first episode had it over the 23rd. Probably means nothing, but worth thinking about.

Right after Agnes leads Wanda away from the conversation with Monica, we see Dennis the mailman wearing a logo that says “Presto.” Perfect exclamation considering who Agnes is and what she was trying to do in that scene. Also, with Presto being an Amazon knockoff, the logo appears to be a rabbit running.

We’re looking, but so far we’ve been unable to find a Marvel Comics parallel for Major Goodner.

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

At the circus, the butterfly lady on the unicycle looks a little bit like the X-Men‘s Dark Phoenix.

Spot anything we missed? Let us know in the comments!

Re-Engaging: SLC Reunion Pt I

Part one of the the first season reunion! We get the typical footage of the women’s jitters before the reunion begins. Whitney and her glam team saying they’re going to really feature her new boob job in the look for the evening. Jen and Heather saying they’re excited. I would be excited too! I mean, I’m a shady bitch... I would love to get paid to sit around and talk smack to people’s faces. 

The set is actually pretty shah-mazing. Imagine a very gay food court set up for Santa, but socially distanced. Andy Cohen says, “This is the Super Bowl, guys!” Accurate. These reunions really are like the gay Super Bowl, complete with fumbles, MVP’s, and emotional tackles. Those are the four football terms I know. OK... Roll footage. I love that!

Andy opens by saying he gives the season two thumbs up, and congratulates the women. “Hey, Lisa! Does God care now that you own at tequila company?”

“Yeah. He’s blessing me by selling more.” All the women look very rested, and their makeup for the most part in my opinion is pretty understated. Lisa has a somewhat modest outfit. Her tan is looking very nice. Very white teeth. A curled look for her hair. It’s sort of fancy free, and I love that for her.

Heather is wearing a light pink dress with a bejeweled motif that is somehow both tight, but also does almost nothing to show off her curves. It’s very Mormon, but make it fashion.

Whitney is giving me beachy vibes with her blonde bob this evening with a plunging-neckline maroon sequined number and a pair of really EXPENSIVE white gold hoops.

Mary looks like Beyonce’s wax figurine at Madame Toussaud’s, with a rose gold sparkling dress and eyeshadow to match.

Meredith looks like Jessica Rabbit got dressed in the dark and is now ushering a Cirque Du Soleil knockoff show at the Nomad Hotel Casino, but what do I know? This is probably just too fashion forward for me to understand.

Jen stopped at the Spirit Halloween inside the closed Linens-n-Things next to Heather’s new Beauty Lab+Laser and bought a knock-off Jasmine from Aladdin costume.

Some highlights from the customary 20-minute greetings are Heather being DM’d by Rihanna and being told Rihanna thinks Heather is “everything,” and Jen promising to be “Zen Jen,” unless somebody “makes [her] turn up.” So basically no one has learned anything. We’re off to a great start for this reunion. I’m glad everyone is on the same page for what makes a good viewing experience. These reunions are like group therapy if no one were willing to change, and everyone lied and yelled the whole time. I’m NOT disengaging for this one.

Round one! (This is a boxing reference. I’m basically a jock now). Whitney’s journey this season is shown, and Andy brings up the whole swinger situation. Whitney denies being a swinger herself, but says she knows a lot of Mormons who do it, and it’s very Mormon 2.0. I give this one to Whitney because Lisa is riled up, and it was like very nuanced shade, especially for Whitney. Whitney zing!

Next Andy asks how Meredith feels about Jen’s reaction to Brooks’s sweat suit line at Park City Fashion Week, asking “Are you appalled that Jen would be picking on a child?”

Meredith replies, “One hundred percent I was ... He saved his own money to launch his brand ... He should be commended, not criticized.” So Brooks (who by the way is well over 21 at this point, but at the time of filming was definitely NOT a child) should always be commended no matter what, even though he couldn’t even be industrious enough to rip off two Givenchy track suits? Also how was Brooks saving his own money? What does he do for work to earn this money? He couldn’t even call the coordinator of the fashion show himself to say he was going to be late!

We also learn that Meredith was not upset that Jen made Meredith’s birthday party all about her, but she was upset that it was thrown on Lisa’s actual birthday. We are shown unseen footage of a thousand-plus dollar wedding cake for Meredith being wheeled out and a comparatively tiny birthday cake for Lisa being brought out behind it. Unseen footage of Lisa singing happy birthday to herself is also shown. So that makes two women who were confused as to whose birthday party it was and singing anyway: Lisa and the drunk woman whose name I won’t mention because she attempted to overtake the Capitol. Conversely, Lisa reveals that she wasn’t upset about the birthday party itself, the thing that she found to be upset about was how Heather gave her a quick once over because Heather had heard that LIsa was calling Heather a “good-time girl.” Don’t worry though, because Lisa explains what actually happened, saying, “ I said she was a good time! My friend told me an antecdote ... Heather was so much fun. She would press her boobs up against things.” Heather denies all allegations of ignoring Lisa, and Lisa yells, “Roll footage!” Heather tells her that’s not a thing, as the footage of Heather blatantly ignoring Lisa is shown. Lisa calls Heather a pathological liar.

I will say, In this situation originally, I was on Heather’s side, but it does seem like Lisa really didn’t know Heather prior to filming. If we remember even more though, it was Jen who told Heather that Lisa had said this about Heather in the first place.

Andy asks Whitney what he thought of Lisa’s comments regarding her love of the stripper pole. Whitney says she is more angry at the overall vibe Lisa gives that she’s better than Whitney. I definitely can see where this is coming from; Lisa and Meredith do seem to have an elitist attitude toward the other women, however, Lisa hypocritically claims that she doesn’t have a problem with Whitney’s dancing in general, just how she handled herself at Sharrieff’s put-put golf birthday party, “twerking” in front of another woman’s husband. Footage is shown of Lisa trying and failing to one-up Whitney’s splits on the dancefloor. The editors throw in a helpful arrow to let us know where in the crowd Sharrieff is standing (far closer to LIsa). Whitney says Lisa called Whitney trash multiple times, to which Lisa replies that she only called Whitney trash once, AND SHE CAN’ EXPLAIN THAT! I’m glad we’re only sticking to the facts here. Objectively, Whitney, you are trash, but I’ve only called you that once. Love that.

After commercial, we are shown Jen’s season highlights (This really is similar to SportsCenter, isn’t it?) It’s mostly footage of Jen yelling, throwing things, crying, more yelling, and crying more. We find out that Heather’s father passed away in April, though. Mary shares that her father also died this past year, but she has this weird dreamy chipmunk look in her eye when she says it. Also, I love how these women aren’t even going to pretend for the cameras they know even the most basic things the others are dealing with when the cameras aren’t rolling. HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW YOUR “FRIEND’S” FATHER DIED?! Heather says that there’s more than enough drama to talk about during this reunion without talking about her dad’s passing. Exactly! The really important stuff, like how Mary can fit into a loofah dress that most people can’t.

Andy asks Jen what it is exactly all her assistants do. We learn that Jen actually has a real job in the marketing field. While I doubt that she actually came up with the technology she uses, I was impressed with the amount of industry jargon she threw out. She says she does “direct response marketing.” I worked in advertising for five months, and I was basically an assistant. I can confirm that telling people they were pretty all the time was about 90% of my job as well.

Jen goes into the story of her father’s passing and Sharrieff missing the funeral. We learn that Jen nearly kicked him out for missing it, and it’s a very big point of contention for the two of them. This is where I start to feel sorry for Jen. While I can’t justify much of her behavior this season, it does seem like she’s dealing with both the loss of her father and realizing that her 20-year marriage is not as solid as it could be.

Speaking of Jen’s behavior, someone from Hawaii asks if Jen thinks it’s appropriate to act the way she did all season at 50 years old. At this, time stands still, and the women are ALL flabbergasted. How DARE?! Jen is only 48! So distracted by being confused for someone two WHOLE TWO YEARS older, Jen needs to regroup before saying, “Shit happens.” and that she’s just “temperamental,” which, according to Oxford Dictionary means “liable to unreasonable changes of mood”. Jen just admitted her behavior is unreasonable. ROLL THAT FOOTAGE! Mary jumps in and talks about how she has been a scapegoat for Jen all season, which didn’t really make sense because Mary seems like a genuinely terrible, racist scam artist. Don’t kick her off the show, though. It’s very entertaining!

Andy brings up vagina-gate. This was very revealing to me. (See what I did there?) Meredith says she’s upset with Jen for purposely “rattling” her kids. Jen claims that she loves Meredith’s kids, and she would never do anything to harm them. Jen says that the whole story was taken out of context, and Brooks had caught Meredith smoking, which is the real reason Brooks was so upset. Meredith reveals that she does occasionally smoke a cigarette (but so what? Meredith is cool, and smoking is very elegant), and she says that Jen recorded Meredith smoking without her knowledge or permission. Jen denies this allegation (but looks like she’s lying to me). The real confusion is cleared up, though, and we learn that Brooks in fact did see Jen’s vagina, and he had to go to Best Buy at that point. Meredith also reveals that she had not invited Jen to sleep over that night, but Jen passed out in Meredith’s bed and had to borrow one of Brooks’s track suits in order to have something to wear home the next morning. Jen denies this as well, and doubles down, saying that Meredith was actually the one who passed out. This is like the time my mom caught me drinking when I was 16, and she said, “:You’re drunk!” and I said, “No I’m not. You’re drunk!” Jesus, Jen!

Meredith accuses Jen of attacking Brooks on social media, calling him white privileged. (Um, that’s not an attack, Meredith. That’s just the truth. I’m white privileged, and I can’t even open a credit card right now). Jen denies this too, and the following tweet is shown: “ @therealitybitch R U SERIOUS?????? I never went spread eagle... it's COMPLETELY INSANE to me that NOT ONLY did you all SEE I DIDNT but bcuz a white privelaged family tells you I did, you somehow think I Sis something wrong. (Girl with face palm emoji).” Arguably my favorite part of this episode is the dramatic music playing as the misspelled words “white privelaged” are highlighted on screen.

Next we’re shown Lisa’s highlight real, where she mostly says, “I love that,” and talks about how much she loves herself and what a go-getter she is. Andy asks Whitney which couple out of the group she would swing with, and Whitney answers Meredith. Not Seth. Just Meredith. Really, Whitney? You don’t want to get down with Mary and her grandfather? At this point, Jen’s superiority complex is brought up by essentially all the women except Meredith. I understand LIsa’s response; she doesn’t feel like she owes anyone an explanation for how she acts like a boss bitch, and I truly believe her. I guess I have a soft spot for Lisa? I am team Lisa on this one for sure, though. I don’t understand why Heather and Whitney feel the need to change Lisa’s attitude. Meredith jumps in and says that Lisa says the same things to her in the same tone, and Meredith doesn’t take it personally, which is why she and Lisa have been able to remain close friends for ten years. This rings true to me.

What gets tricky to me, though, is then Heather and Lisa start fighting. Lisa plays a victim, claiming all the bad press she got for coming off as elitist was in direct response to how Heather portrayed her on the show. I feel like Lisa is trying to walk a line of owning her bossiness, but still wanting to throw Heather under the bus for people hating her for being a boss. I truly don’t understand where Lisa is coming from on this one, and it’s not a good look.

Mary then brings up that she NEVER talks down to people or makes them feel less than, and Lisa tells her that she most certainly does do that to all the members of her church. Dramatic music plays, as Mary blinks and twitches Bewitched-style, and says that Lisa better not bring up Mary’s church, or Mary will bring up Vida Tequila.

in the midst of all of this nonsense, Whitney tries to have an epic moment in which she reveals she has TEXTS from Lisa regarding the bartenders she had claimed made a mess of her party at the beginning of the season, but when Andy goes to read them, he says, “This is a bad Xerox, babe.” (”Jen, you know I’m a straight shooter.. wait. Can I start over?”) Before we’re shown the scenes from next week’s episode, everyone basically starts talking over each other, and Lisa says something about Taco Bell.

My final thoughts: I’m wondering what it is Jen has to offer that is so appealing to Meredith and Jen that they’re giving her so much grace. Beyond the fact that neither of them seem to vibe with her at all, the sudden change of heart Lisa had in the finale was VERY fishy to me. Meredith didn’t seem to have much to say in the way of Jen, but I assume that bridge will be crossed in the parts of the reunion to come. I was also a little shocked to learn that the bartenders Lisa hired really were a gift, and they really had nothing to do with Vida Tequila. Maybe there is something to what Lisa is saying about Heather and Whitney portraying her as more of a monster than she really is. Did she get a bad edit? Also, though it may be a long shot, I would love to learn that Whitney is actually an evil genius playing dumb. There are hints of it I’ve seen so far. She DID organize the whole trip to Vegas, and she DID start the ball rolling on Sharrieff’s birthday-gate. One thing is for sure, after the reunion thus far, I’d say these women all came to PLAY, and I’m living for Salt Lake.

The Joker (Jared Leto) x Reader-  “Trick or Threat?”

For Halloween, you and Jared like to borrow kids from your friends and go “Trick or Treat” with them. It’s been a tradition for a while but this year is a little bit different: your boyfriend decided to surprise you with something he knows you will love and he has no idea you have a little something for him also.

You rush down the stairs, eager to open the door: he probably forgot his keys again. Jared wasn’t home when you woke up and sent just a short text:

“Be back around 12pm,” with a heart emoji.

You open the door and freeze:

“Trick or threat?” the husky voice asks and you are stunned.

“Oh my God, Jared ! Why didn’t you tell me?! I would have been Harley!”

“Who the fuck is Jared, woman?!” he growls and you giggle. “Are you cheating on me?!” and J uses his cane to open the door wider and walks inside the house, groping you in the process.

You’ve been begging him to be The Joker for Halloween all year and he refused, saying it’s too exhausting.

“Baby, you really should have told me,” you approach and he looks around, snarling.

“Fancy house, you sure are sooo spoiled,” he ignores your complaint, stopping in the middle of the living room. Jared is wearing your favorite outfit from the movie: the black pants and white shirt from the club scene. You adore it because you think it makes his perfect butt stand out. You get on your toes and wrap your arms around his neck, frantically kissing him.

“Thank you,” you caress the green hair, smiling. “You know I have a kink for your Joker.”

“Watch the make-up, honey. They’ve been getting me ready since 6 this morning,” Jared suddenly emerges for a few moments.

“Oops, sorry,” you back out and he spanks you.

“I’m joking, Princess, Daddy likes it,” and he kisses you again while you can’t stop laughing. “Did you decide on a costume yet?”

“No, I keep on debating. Come on Jared, help me decide,” you jump off his arms, dragging him upstairs.

“Who the hell is this Jared?!” he gets pissed, in character again.

“Nobody you should be worried about, Mister J,” you play along, thrilled he did this for you: if this isn’t love, then you certainly don’t have a clue about it.

“Then why are you wearing this skimpy little nightgown, hm? Was he just here and you had fun with him? I’m gonna kill the bastard!” the tirade continues as you enter the master bedroom upstairs.

“Nooo, let’s not kill him,” you plead, pointing towards the three outfits on the bed. “We might need him later. Sit down and I will get dressed, then tell me what you think, ok?”

“Hurry up Doll, I don’t have all day!” the feistiness kicks in and it gives you a boost of energy.

“Of course, Mister J !” you grab the first item and run inside the walk- in closet to change. After you’re done, you step out and your sexy presence is greeted with a whistle of admiration and purring.

“So you like it…Daddy?” you wink, licking your lips.

“Don’t play with my emotions, you evil woman!” The Joker snarls, talking deep breaths.”I have a thing for nurses.”

“Oh, I know,” you zip down your top, tossing it in his lap.

“You’re wicked, “ he concludes, enjoying the striptease show.

“Oh, I know,” you repeat, now in just your bra and panties, grabbing the second outfit and try to get away but he snatches you and starts kissing every piece of skin he can get his lips on. “Bad Mister J,” you enjoy the pampering then manage to escape. “You told me to hurry up so be patient.”

“Patient?! What does that mean?!” J gets worked up, and you chuckle, getting dressed with the second outfit.

“Taaaa-daaaa,” you come out and he’s standing by the dresser.

“Wooow, Cat Woman! Look at those curves: I approve,” Jared grins and the silver teeth make you weak in the knees. There is something else standing out.

“Are those socks in there or are you just very happy to see me, baby?” you slowly come closer, staring at his crotch.

“They’re socks,” he adjusts his gold chains, grinning.

“Let me see,” you unbutton his pants, stick your hand in there and…pull out a pair of folded socks. You burst out laughing, amused.

“You’re so goofy,” the laughing continues as you pull out… a second pair of socks.

Jared tries not to laugh.

“That’s it, no more socks, the rest is natural,” he whispers in your ear. “Daddy saved it all for you, Pumpkin.”

“Are you taking advantage of the fact that I worship your Joker?” you jump in his arms, pecking his neck tattoo.

“Totally,” Jared shamelessly admits, heading towards the bed with the sweet burden of his existence.

“Are you sure your make-up and tattoos will be allright?” you double check because you are aware how long it takes to get him ready.

“I’m sure; they’re made to last for hours.”

“Don’t you want to see my 3rd outfit?”

“Nope, you can be Cat Woman,” he mumbles, placing you on the bed and has one more question while impatiently undressing you. “You still didn’t answer: trick or threat?” Jared purrs when you take off his shirt.

“Threat !” you moan when his hands go down your waist, cupping the side of your thighs.

“Mmmm, good girl,” that devilish smirk and the blue eyes make you lose it. “Let’s see…I’m gonna steal you from that Jared guy and have my way with his woman all over this house.”

“Sounds more like a treat,” you sigh and squeal when he bites your lip.

“Depends how you look at it Doll,” he grumbles and you dig your nails in his back. “So who do you want: Jared or The Joker, huh?” J licks your swollen lip, finding your fascination with his character irresistible.

“Both, “ you are fast to reply. “Can you take turns?” and you seem so excited and desperate there is no other choice.

“You’re such a perv, woman!” he snickers. “Exactly my type.”

The sentence makes you eagerly scratch his soft skin and the request is quick to follow:

“The Joker first, please.”

“No problem, Kitten,” and he cracks his neck, prompting a very enthusiastic scream from your part.

*******************

You already went to a couple of houses with Jake and Sarah into a new neighborhood. They are siblings: the little boy is 4 and the girl is 5, aka Spiderman and Cinderella. You ”borrowed” them from your friends for a couple of hours for some Halloween fun like you always do.

“Trick or treat?” the children inquire when the door they knocked at opens up.

“Treat!” and they are offered a bunch of candy they stash in their bags.

“Duuudddee!!” the guy exclaims when he sees Jared. “You look like The Joker; perfect cosplay, you really look like him!”

“Thank you,” he puckers his lips, amused.

“Hold on, my wife loves The Suicide Squad Joker. Honnneey!... Emma !! Hey! You gotta see this!”

“What is it?” you hear the woman’s voice and she is mesmerized as soon as she sees him.

“Jesus, you look like Mister J ! Can we take a picture?” she keeps on fangirling.

“Of course,” he agrees, the comment pleasing him.

“I thought Jared did an amazing job as The Joker! I am so obsessed with him. Sorry babe,” she addresses the husband when he rolls his eyes.

“Yeah, he wasn’t too bad,” Jared flashes his smile for the picture and now she wants another one with both of you.

“Not too bad?! He was phenomenal!!!” she keeps on praising and it makes you happy.

****************

More walking around, more candy.

“Hey, Joker !!” a bunch of young guys dressed as Hobbits shout in your direction.“Where’s Harley, man?!”

“On vacation!” Jared yells back and it prompts laughter. “I have a bad Kitty with me instead!”

“Hot Kitty !!!” one of them yells and the others start howling.

You hold on to Jared’s hand, chuckling while he admonishes:

“Watch it !!! This is my Kitty, find your own!”

More laughter while they distance themselves from your small group. The kids are already ringing the doorbell from another house.

“Oh, “ the lady gasps in surprise when she notices you two waiting for the cute heroes to return by your side. “ You sure have great costumes! I have to admit that Leto butchered The Joker though,” she nods her head in denial, dropping sweets in the bags.

“Such a lack of talent,” Jared sarcastically admits. You want to say something but he squeezes your waist, signaling you not to.

“Indeed! I can’t believe how bad he was,” she goes on and you are getting irritated.

“The worst ever!” J agrees and you frown more.

*****************

“Why are you silent?” Jared intertwines his fingers with yours, awaiting on a reply.

“That lady annoyed me,” you sulk and he kisses your hand.

“I don’t care, I’m used to it. You like my Joker and that’s good enough,” Jared smiles but you know the negative comments hurt, especially after he worked so hard on the character. Contrary to what some people believe, he is human after all. “Speed up, those kids are far ahead.”

More walking, more chocolate, more candy…

“These stilettos are horrible,” the uncomfortable grimace on your face lets him know.“We’ve been walking around for two hours, I’m kind of done.”

“Just a couple more houses and then we can return our rental offsprings, ok?” J negotiates and you agree.

“Fine, but no more than that; I can barely walk.”

“Must be because you had too much fun having sex with two guys in the same time,” he snorts, teasing.

You lift your shoulders up, your cheeks burning under the mask:

“Can’t help it ! A girl has to have her fun.”

“Daddy will show you more fun after we get home, hm?” the hot breath on your neck gives you goosebumps.

“If you insist…” you pretend to be indifferent but the anticipation is making you impatient. “Can we hurry up?”

“Yeah, no problem,” he pinches your butt through the skin-tight latex suit while Jake and Sarah knock on another door.

“Get out of here: it’s my nemesis!” he turns his attention towards the young boy dressed as Batman coming out of the house to hand out candy with his dad. The 7 year old stares with his mouth open: he glances at Jared, then at The Joker action figure in his hand, then back to Jared, then back to his Joker action figure.

“Amazing cosplay, man!” his father laughs and Jared kneels by his son, entertained.

“Are you following me around, Mister Batsy?” he asks and Batman’s eyes get big. “We are actually friends, you know that, right?”

The boy can’t make a sound, just nods a yes, captivated.

“Here, a token of my friendship,” Jared takes one of his bracelets off, placing it around the kid’s wrist. “Shake hands?”

“U-hum,” the child agrees and your heart melts.

“Awwww,”  you sigh, touched by the scene unfolding in front of your eyes.

“What do you say for the gift?” the dad has to intervene in order for his son to remember his manners.

“Thank you Mister Joker,” the shy voice speaks up and it makes you teary thinking about something you found out this morning you didn’t share with him yet.

***************

“Trick or treat?” you step in the bedroom, wearing something he finds super seductive: two strings, held together by some kind of loop, then your breasts hardly covered by a few more strings and one small bow miraculously still in place. All pink.

“Holy shit, honey! Definitely a treat!” Jared decides on the spot, already in bed, fidgeting with his boxers.

“I was hoping you’re gonna say that,” you crawl in bed, holding something behind your back. “Here’s your treat,” you casually show him the positive pregnancy test and he fights with himself in order to contain the overwhelming happiness.

“This…this is the best treat I ever got in my entire life!” Jared confesses, not being able to maintain character; he still has the make-up and tattoos: they won’t be removed until tomorrow morning when he will drop by the studio.

You nervously blink and start crying, already worried about everything.

“Why are you crying, hm?” he caresses your face and you sniffle when your forehead gets kissed. “This is truly the best news. We don’t have to borrow kids for Halloween anymore, right? I mean, we still can so we can have a crowd,” he takes the pregnancy test out of your fingers, studying the red positive marking for a few seconds.“But…who’s the father?”

“What?!” you rub your eyes, waiting to hear about an over the top assumption for sure.

“Is it me or The Joker? You sleep with both, how do we know?”

This is enough to alleviate the tension and your body relaxes, a big smile appearing on your lips: Jared was counting on it since he noticed how anxious you were.

“I’m not sure…” you answer, watching him hide the test under his pillow.

“Stop fooling around, woman,” The Joker takes over, helping you get on top of him.“You know I’m possessive and jealous!”

“Are you?”

“Extremely! Now give me my other treat!” he yanks your hands away so you can get really close to him. He notices the hesitation. “What now?”

“Can I…can I have my Jared?”

“Ughh, you’re killing me, Y/N,” Jared complains, his voice returning to normal.

“The Joker can wait for his turn, I still want him,” you pull on his bottom lip and he debates.

“For the record, this is harder than any movie script, do you understand?” your boyfriend really wants to emphasize his hardship.

“I think there’s something else that’s harder,” you taunt, grinding against him.

“I swear no socks are involved,” J laughs and you giggle, tracing his jaw line.

“Certainly not,” you kiss him and whisper in his ear: “Are you excited we’re going to be parents?”

Jared’s hands hold you so tight you can’t move.

“I’m so happy…” he whispers back and lifts your chin up so you can look at each other.“But are you asking me or The Joker?”

“Both,” you humor him.

“I’m happy and he feels cocky because he’s a stud and he got the confirmation he can impregnate everything that moves!” the speech makes you laugh like crazy as you slide off Jared, snuggling to his neck in the process.

“You’re such an idiot and I love you to death,” Jared hears as he pulls on all those strings you’ve been teasing him with since you showed up in the bedroom.

“Daddy will punish you for being so disrespectful!” The King of Gotham makes his presence known once more and you protest.

“I said I want my Jared !”

“Don’t care! I’m the one doing all the difficult work here: I have to act, I have to have sex, I have to satisfy my demanding woman, I have to pay attention to all the details, I have to…”

You cover his mouth.

“Fair enough, baby,” the lecture is abruptly interrupted by your candid acceptance and he grins, victorious, while switching off the light. You gasp, enticed: the green toxic hair glows in the dark.

“You like this new turn on my Joker?” he wants to know as he tears the flimsy strings apart one by one.

“This is soooo cool!” you run your fingers through it. “It’s very Halloween-ish,” and his rough kiss leaves you breathless.

“Shut up and let me enjoy my treat, woman!” J growls and your comeback delights him:

“I’ll do whatever you say, Mister Joker.”

Hmmm. EdWin, Pearlshipping? :D

OK my answers became so long that I’m gonna save people’s eyes and post pearlshipping separately. EdWin here! (I think you can see from my answers that I was a tiny bit excited to answer this)

This post is 1800+ words long so do whatever you want with that knowledge (I put a lot of thought into my answers and spend like 3-4 hours on this so I’d be happy to know that someone read it)

Who gets excited about Halloween in July:

(We know Ed and Winry do not live in a world with such holidays butlet’s pretend they do in these answers!) Hmm. I drew a conclusion that Ed isprobably someone who doesn’t really appreciate the holidays, no matter what theyare (particularly Christmas and Valentine’s day are totally overhyped in hisopinion) so he would /not/ jump of joy from the thought that they would becelebrating Halloween several months early. Also, having to see all thosepeople he dislikes secretly likes even more? No thanks. But since he can’t getout of that situation, he will try to make the best of it and dress up as Royto annoy him. Winry is a bit more excited, but since she’s a practical person, she’d worry about baking all the goodies and finding an amazing costume etc. so shemight find it a bit stressful. (@fairy-amy said she thinks Ed might enjoy the holidaysonce he has kids and I have to agree with that, he’s happy when his family ishappy :’) So he’d certainly be ready to organize Halloween in July if his kidsso insisted. The poor boy didn’t get to experience these holidays as a kid, his children have to have it better.)

Who starts wearing sweaters and scarves on the first day of September and completely overheats:

Ed is already wearing a /leather jacket/ and a warm looking coat on it soI hope for his sake he won’t wear any more clothes than that, Amestris doesn’tseem like a particularly cold place (minus Briggs perhaps). As for my answer,Ed might honestly be the one who’d go over the top with the clothes.

Who thrives in Fall/Who prefers Summer and warm weather:

OK this is hard. I haven’t really “locked” my headcanons about this topicbut I do think Ed would hate the hottest summer or the coldest winter (becauseof his automail), which would leave spring and fall for him. Thinking about hisdesign and his personality would make me lean more towards the fall, but it’salso a fact that it often rains a lot during falls (which is not enjoyable inhis situation) and he did canonically burn his house in October, so. Maybe hisfavorite time of the year would be the late spring when it’s not too hot yetetc. (He would be relieved when the summer changes to fall though so in thatsense he’s more of a fall person). As for Winry, it’s harder to say but I’mgonna lean towards summer.

Who thinks the other looks so cute when they’re cold and trying to fight it with 50 sweaters:

Winrythinks Ed is cute when he’s trying to fight the coldness with 50 sweaters (orleather jackets). He’s so extra, I swear.

Who offers the other their jacket:

Ed would (after saying something snarky to make sure that he doesn’t comeoff as /too/ sweet. It would be more natural for him after he finally acceptshis feelings) :’)

Who doesn’t want to get out of bed in the morning because it’s too cold and has to run from the warm covers to the shower:

Honestly iirc wehave no canon proof of either of them being particularly sensitive to thecoldness (if you don’t count Ed’s automail) but I feel my answers so far have made itsound like Ed is the more sensitive one so let me answer him.

Who touches the other with their freezing cold feet at night:

Now /this/was the question I was looking forward to answering and there’s 0 doubt aboutthis in my mind: Ed. The dude has a steel leg, which must be cold. as. f.Although, it might happen just once: Ed, that loser, thinks it’s a good idea to tease Winrya little bit (bc come on getting into each other’s nerves is their fave pasttime) but when she feels the cold leg/foot touching her skin, she is very fastto find the closest wrench and you betcha after that Ed doesn’t want to do itagain.

Who makes the hot cider to snuggle under a blanket and drink:

I mean,while Ed (secretly or not so secretly) /enjoys/ snuggling under a blanket withWinry, he would not be the one to suggest such a thing (“too mushy,” he says) soWinry would be the one to make the first move. Her granny has made some niceapple cider that reminds Ed of Winry’s apple pie and he quite enjoys it aswell.

Who loves carving pumpkins and buys about 300:

(also look at the answer below) Ed is so extra that when Winry says she’dlike some pumpkins for Halloween, he’d get /a lot/ of them. However, carvingthem is a very different story. If he had his alchemy, he would just transmutethem to look as edgy as possible, but because he doesn’t have it anymore, hemanages to carve a couple of pumpkins (just eyes and mouth, not well shaped atall) and loses his patience. Winry asks: “why did you get so many then? I’dhave been fine with just a few” and Ed mumbles something incoherent in response(Winry figures out it’s something like “Well… I just wanted to make you happy”)

Who is terrible at carving pumpkins:  

Circles are the only things Ed is good at drawing, and carving requires abit of artistic eye/hands as well so it’s safe to say that after he loses hisalchemy, no one could figure out what he’s trying to do with his pumpkins. Whenhe /can/ still use alchemy, they would naturally be the edgiest pumpkins you’veever seen. (Winry is actually pretty good at the carving, in her work shenaturally has to do a precise job with her hands and she also has to drawthe automail blueprints all the time so she’d be at home with the pumpkins)

Who thinks pulling the pumpkin guts out with their hands is icky:

Probably neither because these guys are in contact with blood and othereven ickier stuff on regular basis. (Ed literally boiled his bloody, dirty shoe and made it edible)

What is their favourite Fall activity:

After Al hasgotten his body back, they all like to rake the leaves in one big pile and thenwatch as Al (who just really loves to feel and see and smell everything in thefall) plays in that pile with Den and throws the colorful leaves all around.His happiness is what makes them so happy. Later on, they love to watch their own kidsdo that same thing :*) (Also, that drinking a hot drink under a blanket soundslike something they love to do, but again, it might be hard to make Ed admitthat)

Who gets scared when they watch Horror movies:

Neither, their lives have been almost like horror movies so fictional horrordoesn’t feel anywhere. However, the fact that their lives had been like that might also affect them in the way that they prefer watching other genres (evenEd).

Who hands out candy to trick-or-treaters:

Winry, gotta make sure that Ed doesn’t scare the kids with his costumes(when Ed does something, he does it 150%. Even when it comes to Halloweencostumes). Though, Ed might make a plan so /he/ can hand out that candy, forexample claim that his automail needs instant fixing and detach it so Winry cango to her workshop to take a closer look… Only to notice that the leg issurprisingly fine. Meanwhile, there are a couple of very scared little girls bytheir door, looking at the one legged… Jigglypuff (THIS WAS AMY’S IDEA BLAMEHER) who is trying to give them their sweets and secretly laughing a bit in his costume.

Who accidentally scares the kids:

^Ed. I probably don’t have to add much here after my previous answer. Edgoes full on with his costumes.

Who suggested the couples costume:

When they go out together on Halloween for the first time, it is Winry(because Ed is a bit slow at warming up to this kind of things) BUT soon Ednotices that he (secretly?) enjoys matching with Winry, and their outfits also stoppeople from hitting on her because she so clearly came with Ed, and that’s mostcertainly a plus in Ed’s eyes :’)

What is their couples costume:

OK I just can’t get over It’s Not a Big Deal (i.e. the best fanfic ever) and Ed and Winry’s matchingHan Solo and Princess Leia outfits (even though they weren’t technically eventogether back then iirc. And wahh the snapchat pics in that chapter were socute. As was the “prank” Ed&co planned. OK now I started fangirling over afanfic instead of answering. But seriously. So good) so I want to stick withthat. It’s totally adorable. And I feel Leia and Han Solo’s personalities kindaremind me of Ed and Winry so that’s why it’s great as well.

What is the best Halloween they ever had:

I feel that these two would like it simple (despite Edgoing a bit over the top with the costume and the pumpkins) and they’d be themost content simply hanging out at home with those whom they care about the most(Al, Mei, their kids for example). Seeing the smiles on their kids’ faces is bothEd and Winry’s favorite thing in the world.

(The nextpart is again Amy’s idea, thanks for helping me!) One of those times when theyare spending Halloween just with their family, Al and Mei go out to look at thestars for a bit (Al still likes the stars even after all those years of staringat them at nights) and when they come back, Mei has a ring on her ring fingerand everyone is so happy they are finally getting married. Later that evening,Winry throws up without any clear explanation (she hasn’t drunk or eatenanything suspicious) and she then remembers she hasn’t had her period in a goodwhile.. Winry doesn’t tell about it to Al and Mei (it was their day, afterall), but when she is alone with Ed, she tells him and Ed will always rememberit as his favorite Halloween ever :’)

What is the worst Halloween they ever had:

I couldtake this to a fun road or an angsty road. The fun road is that one time, Winryconvinces Ed to drink milk, claiming that the drink she’s holding is just coloredto look “as scary as possible” (because milk /is/ scary, says Ed) but actuallytastes very good. At first Ed thinks nothing of it, but when he realizes hereally drank milk, he mopes for the rest of the day and that isn’t particularlyfun for any of them (or maybe it is. Who knows. But for Ed it’s the WorstHalloween Ever.)

The angstyroad is that one time a trick-or-treater, a little girl with two braids, isdressed as a dog-like chimera, and that wakes really bad memories in Ed. He hasto withdraw into their bedroom after that and Winry soon follows, soothing Eduntil he finally calms down.

Who eats too much candy and ends up sick the next day:

Ahahah most likely Ed. He likes eating but does. not. know his limits!(He’s also that person who might sneak some goodies from the bag where they arekeeping candies for the trick-and-treaters)

adsfg I love those nerds so much. Thank you Aleira, you know what I like 8)

13 DIY Couples’ Costume Ideas That Are Better Than Anything You Can Buy In A Store

I love Halloween. I love creepy things. I love parties. I love candy (but not candy corn, gross). And most of all, I love making things. So, it’s pretty much the perfect holiday for someone like me. I spend all year making little notes on my phone of good couples costume ideas and mentally engineering their creation so that by the time fall rolls around, I’m all set and ready to go. But let’s assume that, unlike me, you aren’t a neurotic Halloween lover and you don’t have a ton of DIY couples costume ideas in your phone. Don’t worry, you can have some of mine. Trust me, I’ve got plenty.

So, whether you prefer something cute, sexy, or nightmare-inducing, I’ve figured out how to put it on your bods. Yes, you could just run down to the local costume store, but that’s so boring! That’s how you end up at a party with everyone in the same Harley Quinn and Jack Sparrow costumes. Anyone can buy a costume at the store, but it takes a bit more effort and creativity to make it yourself. And really, don’t you and your partner deserve to win all the contests this year?

Here are some ideas to borrow, or at least to get your creativity flowin’.

1. Baby And Debora From Baby Driver

Giphy

This year’s coolest couple, hands down, are Baby and Debora from Baby Driver. If you have a partner who’s tough to talk into dressing up for Halloween, this is the couples costume he won’t be able to turn down. Who doesn’t want to be a bad ass get away driver? As a bonus, it’s actually really cool stuff you will want to wear year round.

For Debora, you’ll want to find a cute retro waitress dress and pair it with a sheepskin lined denim jacket. The Baby costume is just as easy: You just need the varsity style jacket, a white tee, black wayfarers, jeans, and black shoes. If you really want to complete the look, you can add a scar with with wax. Just make sure not to forget the earbuds!

2. The Fairly Odd Parents

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

Want to be Wanda and Cosmo for Halloween this year? Your wish is my command. This one will take some minor fabrication, but I promise you are totally up for it. For Wanda, you will need a yellow tee, black pants, wings, and pink hair spray. Cosmo’s outfit is just a white button up shirt, black tie, black pants, green hair spray, and, of course, some more fairy wings. That just leaves their fairy crowns and wands. Time to get crafty. To create the crowns, you’ll need small headbands that will blend in your hair, a sheet of yellow foam, and some craft wire. To make the wand, you’ll need some wood dowels painted black, and you can use the leftover foam sheet to make the stars.

3. Yorkie And Kelly from Black Mirror

Netflix

Did you cry like a baby when Black Mirror’s San Junipero episode took home the Emmy for Outstanding Television series this year, too? Yeah, that’s because Yorkie and Kelly are everything, including this year’s queer girl couples costume goals. Unless you want to spend your next month trawling through a million thrift shops to find the perfect blinged-out jacket, the key is to just find modern pieces, which, when accessorized properly, give them an ’80s feel.

To channel Yorkie’s party girl vibe, you’ll need an embellished purple jacket, black corset top, and black harem pants. Top it off with a black oversized bow in the hair. To capture the adorable nerdiness of Kelly, pair a light blue sweatshirt with a pink collared shirt, khaki shorts, and don’t forget the wire-rimmed glasses. Cutest duo ever.

4. Cards Against Humanity

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

Need a last minute costume that is actually awesome? Good news: This one only requires some foam boards and black and white paint pens! If you want to get more interactive, opt for chalkboards and erasable pens. Warning: That can get very dangerous as the night goes on and the drinks are flowing. Hmm, actually, that pretty much describes every game of Cards Against Humanity I’ve ever played, so it’s on theme!

5. Diana Prince And Steve Trevor From Wonder Woman

Warner Bros. Pictures

All I want in life is to be Wonder Woman. Is that too much to ask? Yes, yes, it is, because I don’t have the fabrication skills to create a breast plate. Now her disguise outfit… that’s something I can achieve. Was there anyone more dapper than Diana Prince and Steve Trevor as they made their way through the streets of 1910s London? Nope, and this is how you steal their style this Halloween.

This is not a warm-climate-appropriate costume. Go this route only if your Halloween is going to be on the chilly side. To get the Diana look, you’ll need a wool houndstooth coat, belted. Under the coat, you’ll need a white collared shirt, long skirt, and Victorian style boots. Oh, and don’t forget her sword. Steve’s costume is made of up layers: Start with a turtleneck sweater, topped with a brown leather vest and sheepskin lined coat. Pair all of this with a pair of dark khaki pants and black boots. Top it off with a navy brood hat to really nail the period costume.

6. The Purge

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

Personally, I love a scary costume on Halloween, and what is scarier than the idea of all your friends and neighbors suddenly turning into homicidal maniacs for 12 hours every year? Plus, this costume is great if you’re a procrastinator, because it can be made up almost entirely of things you already have in your wardrobe. Your best bets are something sexy — or ironic — like lingerie, a prom dress, or a tux. To complete the look, you’ll need to make a mask, and there are great tutorials online on how to turn them into Purge masks. And of course, you’ll need your killing spree weapons of choice.

7. Pop Art

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

Another last-minute costume that will still wow at any Halloween party is to turn the two of you into living pop art. There are some great tutorials on YouTube that will walk you through the makeup technique. To complete the look, think retro-inspired comic book clothing, and you can add speech bubbles with a headband, craft wire, and some paper. One last bit of advice: I highly suggest a few practice run throughs before hand. Otherwise your costume might be a living Pinterest fail instead.

8. Dipper And Mabel

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

Is it creepy if your couples costume is made up of a brother and sister? Nah, not when it’s Dipper and Mable. They’re hardly the Lannisters, if you know what I’m sayin’. Anyway, moving on. Here’s how to become Gravity Falls’ greatest mystery solvers. For Dipper, you’ll need an orange t-shirt, blue vest, white socks, black shoes, and grey shorts. To complete the look, you’ll also need his signature hat, and to create that you need a blue trucker hat and some fabric paint to add the little blue tree. You might as well get the whole fabric paint kit, because you’re going to need a few more colors to create Mabel’s rainbow and star turtleneck. The rest of her costume is easy; it’s just a denim skirt, white knee socks, and some black ballet flats. Oh, and her headband too, of course. Cryptids of the Northwest will shiver when they see you coming.

9. Ellie And Grant From Jurassic Park

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

You know who were an awesome couple? Ellie and Grant from Jurassic Park. They were smart, adventurous, and totally went toe-to-toe with prehistoric monsters… and won! Total couples goals. Yes, I know they weren’t together in the sequels, but let’s just make a pact to pretend they never happened, OK? Good. Moving on.

Here is how you can become Ellie and Grant for Halloween. Spoiler alert: Brace for khaki. For Ellie, you’ll need khaki shorts, a blue tank top, a pink button up (tied at the waist), hiking boots, and grey socks. For Grant, khaki pants, a denim shirt, a red bandana tied at the neck, hiking boots, and top it off with a wide brimmed fedora. Oh, and some dinosaur props really tie it all together.

If your boo isn’t really a “Grant type,” there’s always the doctor of chaos himself, Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcom. Just sayin’.

10. Hook And Tinker Bell

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

Who wants to be Peter Pan and Wendy when you can be Tink and Hook? They have all the best accessories anyway. I dunno, I ship ’em. To create a cool Captain Hook, you need a red blazer, white blouse, a hook, and pirate captain’s hat with feathers. To get your Tinker Bell on, you’ll want a green tulle dress and fairy wings. Simple and cute.

11. Pennywise And Georgie From It

Giphy

Did you see It yet? Of course you did — everyone has. Thats because it’s scary as hell. I had nightmares for two nights after I saw it that Pennywise was peeking in my window. How messed up is that? Anyway, that also means it’s going to be a fantastic couples costume if you want to terrorize everyone else at the party. What else is Halloween for, right? The Georgie costume is easy; all you really need a is a hooded yellow rain coat, rain boots, and maybe a paper boat. To create your Pennywise, you’ll need a men’s white ruffled shirt, neck ruff, and pirate style pants. Add red pompoms down the front and on the toes of the shoes. Top it off with a red wig, killer clown makeup, and a red balloon. Why? Because they float. They all float.

12. Nasa And The Stars

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

I love this couples costume, because what is more “meant to be together” than a NASA nerd and the galaxy? It’s sweet and clever and probably mostly already in your closet. Don’t lie — we all bought a galaxy dress in the last few years. Now you get to pull it back out and be the cutest couple at the party. For your astronomy nerd costume, you’ll just need a NASA tee, some nerd glasses (or add tape to yours), and suspenders are a nice touch. The stars really aligned for this costumes. Eh? Nudge, nudge.

13. Rick And Morty From Rick And Morty

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

You���re gonna wubba-dubba-dub-love this costume idea! Want a reason to love Rick and Morty, I mean besides the fact that it’s just stone cold genius? This season they decided to implement gender parity in the writer’s room, and the show has never been better. Plus, when internet jerks decided it would be awesome to doxx those writers, creator Dan Harmon publicly smacked them down. Awesome. OK, now that you are pumped to celebrate all things Rick and Morty, here’s how to achieve the look. For Rick, you’ll need a lab coat, light blue shirt, khaki pants, a wig, and his trusty portal gun. Morty’s costume is a yellow shirt and jeans, but I

I spend all year making little notes on my phone of good couples costume ideas and mentally engineering their creation so that by the time fall rolls around, I’m all set and ready to go. But let’s assume that, unlike me, you aren’t a neurotic Halloween lover and you don’t have a ton of DIY couples costume ideas in your phone. Don’t worry, you can have some of mine. Trust me, I’ve got plenty.

So, whether you prefer something cute, sexy, or nightmare-inducing, I’ve figured out how to put it on your bods. Yes, you could just run down to the local costume store, but that’s so boring! That’s how you end up at a party with everyone in the same Harley Quinn and Jack Sparrow costumes. Anyone can buy a costume at the store, but it takes a bit more effort and creativity to make it yourself. And really, don’t you and your partner deserve to win all the contests this year?

Here are some ideas to borrow, or at least to get your creativity flowin’.

1. Baby And Debora From Baby Driver

Giphy

This year’s coolest couple, hands down, are Baby and Debora from Baby Driver. If you have a partner who’s tough to talk into dressing up for Halloween, this is the couples costume he won’t be able to turn down. Who doesn’t want to be a bad ass get away driver? As a bonus, it’s actually really cool stuff you will want to wear year round.

For Debora, you’ll want to find a cute retro waitress dress and pair it with a sheepskin lined denim jacket. The Baby costume is just as easy: You just need the varsity style jacket, a white tee, black wayfarers, jeans, and black shoes. If you really want to complete the look, you can add a scar with with wax. Just make sure not to forget the earbuds!

2. The Fairly Odd Parents

Want to be Wanda and Cosmo for Halloween this year? Your wish is my command. This one will take some minor fabrication, but I promise you are totally up for it. For Wanda, you will need a yellow tee, black pants, wings, and pink hair spray. Cosmo’s outfit is just a white button up shirt, black tie, black pants, green hair spray, and, of course, some more fairy wings. That just leaves their fairy crowns and wands. Time to get crafty. To create the crowns, you’ll need small headbands that will blend in your hair, a sheet of yellow foam, and some craft wire. To make the wand, you’ll need some wood dowels painted black, and you can use the leftover foam sheet to make the stars.

3. Yorkie And Kelly from Black Mirror

Netflix

Did you cry like a baby when Black Mirror’s San Junipero episode took home the Emmy for Outstanding Television series this year, too? Yeah, that’s because Yorkie and Kelly are everything, including this year’s queer girl couples costume goals. Unless you want to spend your next month trawling through a million thrift shops to find the perfect blinged-out jacket, the key is to just find modern pieces, which, when accessorized properly, give them an ’80s feel.

To channel Yorkie’s party girl vibe, you’ll need an embellished purple jacket, black corset top, and black harem pants. Top it off with a black oversized bow in the hair. To capture the adorable nerdiness of Kelly, pair a light blue sweatshirt with a pink collared shirt, khaki shorts, and don’t forget the wire-rimmed glasses. Cutest duo ever.

4. Cards Against Humanity

Need a last minute costume that is actually awesome? Good news: This one only requires some foam boards and black and white paint pens! If you want to get more interactive, opt for chalkboards and erasable pens. Warning: That can get very dangerous as the night goes on and the drinks are flowing. Hmm, actually, that pretty much describes every game of Cards Against Humanity I’ve ever played, so it’s on theme!

5. Diana Prince And Steve Trevor From Wonder Woman

Warner Bros. Pictures

All I want in life is to be Wonder Woman. Is that too much to ask? Yes, yes, it is, because I don’t have the fabrication skills to create a breast plate. Now her disguise outfit… that’s something I can achieve. Was there anyone more dapper than Diana Prince and Steve Trevor as they made their way through the streets of 1910s London? Nope, and this is how you steal their style this Halloween.

This is not a warm-climate-appropriate costume. Go this route only if your Halloween is going to be on the chilly side. To get the Diana look, you’ll need a wool houndstooth coat, belted. Under the coat, you’ll need a white collared shirt, long skirt, and Victorian style boots. Oh, and don’t forget her sword. Steve’s costume is made of up layers: Start with a turtleneck sweater, topped with a brown leather vest and sheepskin lined coat. Pair all of this with a pair of dark khaki pants and black boots. Top it off with a navy brood hat to really nail the period costume.

6. The Purge

Personally, I love a scary costume on Halloween, and what is scarier than the idea of all your friends and neighbors suddenly turning into homicidal maniacs for 12 hours every year? Plus, this costume is great if you’re a procrastinator, because it can be made up almost entirely of things you already have in your wardrobe. Your best bets are something sexy — or ironic — like lingerie, a prom dress, or a tux. To complete the look, you’ll need to make a mask, and there are great tutorials online on how to turn them into Purge masks. And of course, you’ll need your killing spree weapons of choice.

7. Pop Art

Another last-minute costume that will still wow at any Halloween party is to turn the two of you into living pop art. There are some great tutorials on YouTube that will walk you through the makeup technique. To complete the look, think retro-inspired comic book clothing, and you can add speech bubbles with a headband, craft wire, and some paper. One last bit of advice: I highly suggest a few practice run throughs before hand. Otherwise your costume might be a living Pinterest fail instead.

8. Dipper And Mabel

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

Is it creepy if your couples costume is made up of a brother and sister? Nah, not when it’s Dipper and Mable. They’re hardly the Lannisters, if you know what I’m sayin’. Anyway, moving on. Here’s how to become Gravity Falls’ greatest mystery solvers. For Dipper, you’ll need an orange t-shirt, blue vest, white socks, black shoes, and grey shorts. To complete the look, you’ll also need his signature hat, and to create that you need a blue trucker hat and some fabric paint to add the little blue tree. You might as well get the whole fabric paint kit, because you’re going to need a few more colors to create Mabel’s rainbow and star turtleneck. The rest of her costume is easy; it’s just a denim skirt, white knee socks, and some black ballet flats. Oh, and her headband too, of course. Cryptids of the Northwest will shiver when they see you coming.

9. Ellie And Grant From Jurassic Park

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

You know who were an awesome couple? Ellie and Grant from Jurassic Park. They were smart, adventurous, and totally went toe-to-toe with prehistoric monsters… and won! Total couples goals. Yes, I know they weren’t together in the sequels, but let’s just make a pact to pretend they never happened, OK? Good. Moving on.

Here is how you can become Ellie and Grant for Halloween. Spoiler alert: Brace for khaki. For Ellie, you’ll need khaki shorts, a blue tank top, a pink button up (tied at the waist), hiking boots, and grey socks. For Grant, khaki pants, a denim shirt, a red bandana tied at the neck, hiking boots, and top it off with a wide brimmed fedora. Oh, and some dinosaur props really tie it all together.

If your boo isn’t really a “Grant type,” there’s always the doctor of chaos himself, Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcom. Just sayin’.

10. Hook And Tinker Bell

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

Who wants to be Peter Pan and Wendy when you can be Tink and Hook? They have all the best accessories anyway. I dunno, I ship ’em. To create a cool Captain Hook, you need a red blazer, white blouse, a hook, and pirate captain’s hat with feathers. To get your Tinker Bell on, you’ll want a green tulle dress and fairy wings. Simple and cute.

11. Pennywise And Georgie From It

Giphy

Did you see It yet? Of course you did — everyone has. Thats because it’s scary as hell. I had nightmares for two nights after I saw it that Pennywise was peeking in my window. How messed up is that? Anyway, that also means it’s going to be a fantastic couples costume if you want to terrorize everyone else at the party. What else is Halloween for, right? The Georgie costume is easy; all you really need a is a hooded yellow rain coat, rain boots, and maybe a paper boat. To create your Pennywise, you’ll need a men’s white ruffled shirt, neck ruff, and pirate style pants. Add red pompoms down the front and on the toes of the shoes. Top it off with a red wig, killer clown makeup, and a red balloon. Why? Because they float. They all float.

12. Nasa And The Stars

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

I love this couples costume, because what is more “meant to be together” than a NASA nerd and the galaxy? It’s sweet and clever and probably mostly already in your closet. Don’t lie — we all bought a galaxy dress in the last few years. Now you get to pull it back out and be the cutest couple at the party. For your astronomy nerd costume, you’ll just need a NASA tee, some nerd glasses (or add tape to yours), and suspenders are a nice touch. The stars really aligned for this costumes. Eh? Nudge, nudge.

13. Rick And Morty From Rick And Morty

//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

You’re gonna wubba-dubba-dub-love this costume idea! Want a reason to love Rick and Morty, I mean besides the fact that it’s just stone cold genius? This season they decided to implement gender parity in the writer’s room, and the show has never been better. Plus, when internet jerks decided it would be awesome to doxx those writers, creator Dan Harmon publicly smacked them down. Awesome. OK, now that you are pumped to celebrate all things Rick and Morty, here’s how to achieve the look. For Rick, you’ll need a lab coat, light blue shirt, khaki pants, a wig, and his trusty portal gun. Morty’s costume is a yellow shirt and jeans, but I
