girls just wanna have fun

[probablygayattorneys]

I haven't found out yet what happened to Randall or any of that, I'm only a little bit into the flashback sequence in Miracle Mask, but there's a really clear throughline that's making me emotional about Kat and her story.

Kat considers herself a world-class puzzle solver and loves them. She learned how to love them from her father, who taught her how to solve them and left it behind with her when it was his time to go

But what we see in MM is how he came to become a world-class puzzle solver who loves them. He learned how to love them from Randall, who taught him how to solve them and left it behind with him when it was his time to go

And that's not the only example of this!

He gave her her top hat, which matches his, which was a gift from Claire. He also taught her how to be an English gentlewoman, like how he is an English gentleman, which is another thing that Claire started.

So much of who Katrielle comes from who her father was, and so much of that comes from those that he loved and lost but still found a way to live on in his actions and character, which made him who he was so he could love his daughter and leave her with his legacy, and all any of us are is an amalgamation of those who loved us, who in turn are the amalgamation of those who loved them, and so on and so forth, and I think that's beautiful.

combed through the dark trenches of my first tumblr blog to search for obscure/vintage layton posts and found this tiny fullbody sprite reacreation i did of randall back in 2015 as a freshly 17 youngster. i'd first gotten miracle mask for christmas in 2012, a few months after its initial american release, but years later i still found myself replaying it because it's that special to me! (the sprite in question coming from a section of bonus puzzles, where specifically i cannot remember)

comparing the original game sprite with my younger self's attempts at a full sprite you can see it wasn't completely accurate. a lot of inconsistent colors and missing shadows (i'm wondering if i eyeballed these colors or if i colorpicked them from something else?)

of course i can't post this without acknowledging my 17 year old self calling 17 year old randall his husband which is beyond adorable. oh my god i was smitten with him even as a kid.

perhaps i'll take a crack at the rest of those sprites i mentioned in the original post now that i have a computer and don't have to eyeball the colors on an ipad lol

pairing(s): jess mariano x reader

summary: someone you don’t like wins your basket in the easter competition, but jess is there to save the day.

word count: 2077

warnings/tags: friends to lovers, a guy being a bit full-on [ nothing major , but jess saves the day ] jess being an absolute fluffy softy, jess being boyfriend material!

the dreaded day of the easter basket competition had arrived, and terror had filled your entire body from that very morning. waking up with a pit in your stomach, rory and lane roping you into making one for a date – knowing that randall in your english class is obsessed with the thought of a date with you and had been for months.

you had no hope for the day ahead, you had confided in jess from the moment you agreed to it, running from the square into luke’s diner where jess was reading against the wall of the quiet monday morning. “i’m not participating in this loony town’s stupid traditions, y/n,” jess had told you, much to your dismay of pleading him for help.

“please! if it goes too high a bid i’ll reimburse you, i’ll make a really good meal and we’ll make a day of it. please don’t make me go out with randall carter!” you had asked, trying to ignore the wide smirk across your amused best friends face. jess was thoroughly enjoying it.

he chuckled, book had been thrown on the counter with his arms folded as he listened before leaning towards you. “i’m not going to bid on nonsense like that but i am willing to save you from the date if he wins,” jess had offered.

“jess i don’t want to go out with him, you have to win it!”

“aren’t his parents like super rich?” jess ignored, eyes followed your pained expression as you groaned in dismay from the situation you allowed rory and lane to force you into. you had already signed your name up, taylor knew, there was no going back now.

you knew he couldn’t bid too high, and you didn’t expect jess to, you were just desperate. you had shot down randall far too many times for your liking and he was still willing to try and win you over. jess had hated the guy from the start, but you knew he hated practically everyone.

“you swear to save me from him?” you asked, finger pointed and pressed against jess’ shirt, eyes wide and intimidating jess. he had a teasing glint in his eye, lopsided smirk maintained as he raises one hand, using his finger to cross his heart, ‘hope to die’ he finished with before luke scolded him for slacking during shift.

so, when jess winked at you from the other side of the crowd, your legs slowly stopped shaking. maybe it would be okay, knowing that jess was more than willing to jump in and save you from your dreaded enemy – who was only yards ahead of you with a prideful stride which could only be for one reason.

“fifty dollars!” randall starts with, your mouth immediately gaping at the price he was willing to begin with in order to bag a date with the person he knows doesn’t reciprocate feelings. you felt bad shooting him down at the start, but as he became more persistent, the less empathetic you were.

“sixty,” jess interjects. your head snaps round, quite like luke who was beside him and you watch as his uncle swats his arm in dismay. jess doesn’t have that amount of money to throw around, he worked in his uncle’s diner in his spare time – why would he bid a high amount on a lousy easter basket in order to help you?

“eighty,” you were defeated upon randall’s response, all hope in the chance of jess winning quickly dissipates as you watch jess hesitate. however, when jess saw randall’s smirk and luke’s warned gaze he’s quick to jump on another bet, “a hundred dollars!”

“oh, a hundred dollars, folks! can anyone go higher or do we have a winner?” taylor ramped up the crowd while luke can be heard screaming at his nephew, profanities and light smacks against jess’ shoulder, ordering him to ‘quit it, ya hear me?’

“a hundred and twenty,” replies randall, face full of stream while looking back at jess, strived with motivation and purpose. jess looks back towards you, and you try to plead him to stop, he said he wouldn’t bid high or partake, yet here he was willing to spend a hundred dollars to save you.

he shrugs in apology, well out of his price range and the sound of taylor announcing randall the winner, you smile at him before striding towards the stage where randall waits with the basket full of food.

just as you leave the crowd, you catch sight of jess who throws you another wink before crossing his heart one more time. and you pray to yourself that jess didn’t take long to save the day, randall’s hand all-too close to you as you walk away.

it had been god-awful. randall was far too worth trying, it came across desperate. he boasted of the prior girlfriends he had in hopes you thought he was experienced but only made you realise how insignificant you would be, after telling you of his date last week despite asking you out for months.

your legs swung across the bridge overlooking the lake, for each moment of silence you enjoyed by the trickle of water and swoosh of the trees – only to be ruined when randall’s deep voice undercuts with another foul statement.

your fingers were picking at the crust of fancy bread you choose from the bakery, not willing to eat but wanting to seem preoccupied while randall tells you all about his high grades. that is until a voice interrupts, “oh, i absolutely hate to break this lovely little date you’re on. nice spread, huh?”.

a grin spreads across your face at the voice from behind you, and both of you turn around to see jess standing, hands in his pockets, rolling on the balls of his feet with a contained smirk you could see from just his eyes.

“you bet,” randall replies while continuing to eat the crackers you also brought. jess’ undercut scowl grows soft when he looks from the boy and to you, “luke wants you back for shift.” you’re smirking at him, face unseen by randall as you lean back and raise your hands in faux dismay.

however, randall isn’t amused, “no fair! we’re on a date, mariano.” jess looks disgusted, looking at the horrible attempt at a date – randall sitting like he owns the place, cheese stuck to the sides of his mouth.

through gritted teeth, jess continues, “sorry, rules are rules.” randall taps you, causing you to break your gaze from jess and to look at him instead, “you said you had the day off.” you falter, mouth agape in thought of what to reply, but your saviour steps in once more, “busy day calls for the best staff. y’know, randall, with all the basket dates going on.”

you sigh in relief, making your leave to stand while jess extends his hand to help you up. he wears a wide smile, eyes prideful and gleaming at you as you smirk back at him. his hand doesn’t leave yours, remained intertwined while you use your free one to dust your outfit off from any marks.

“that doesn’t make any sense,” randall interjects the moment, “why would people bring their baskets into a café and eat the food?”. jess knew randall was smart, he actually tried in school but he was an idiot at some common sense that jess could use to his advantage, a small ‘huh’ leaves jess before he replies, “y’know, randall, a lot of things in life don’t make sense”

you’re wide-eyed watching jess, there was something so attractive about him saving the day, speaking up for you, holding your hand. you were entrapped by the boy you called your best friend. he leans past you, a hand extended to randall, “basket, please.”

with a begrudged look to the boy with dripping sarcasm, randall hands it over, feet defeatedly swinging off the bridge as jess looms over him with a look randall didn’t want to cross. you whisper to jess, “ever the gentleman,” you’re both turning away, still hand in hand, and jess glances at you before replying, “well, a gentleman keeps his promise.”

and before you knew it a few footsteps ahead, you broke out into a run, hand intertwined with the boy who saved the day – you both laughing as you left the scene, forgetting all about the try-hard randall defeatedly in his place.

the woods were quiet, the crunching off the leaves getting lower in volume and you both slow down, tired breaths and speckled laughter turning into a comfortable silence paired with the birds whistling in the trees.

every moment you had with jess was one you wanted to mentally keep forever. a mind full of jess keepsakes you could look back and fawn over someone you had grown so comfortable with, your person, the guy you could go to with just about everything. sure, he was sarcastic but he wouldn’t judge – maybe a joke, here and there, but if it’s an upsetting issue jess was nothing but a comforting shoulder, kind and serene voice you could fall asleep to.

you glance at him, and his lope-sided smile hasn’t left his gorgeous face, even when you catch him staring. you can’t break away, a trance you didn’t mind being stuck in forever and something shifts between you both. jess tugs on your hand so you’re standing in front of him, gentle and reassuring squeezes as you feel your back meet a tree.

the view of jess with the scenery behind him, trees floating in the wind, sunlight escaping between the leaves – he was ethereal, and you almost didn’t believe this moment to be true. that’s until the sound of the basket dropping to the ground brings you back.

his hand leaves yours, slowly moving to your jaw while his eyes delicately scan your face in a way that your knees feel weak, jess’ lids half closed before he moves closer to you. you find it hard not to smile during the kiss, jess delicately moving his lips to yours in a moment you have dreamt several times before.

jess’ lips were desperate, nose bumping yours when he tilts his head the other way and you tug on his acdc t-shirt to keep you grounded, obsessed with the feeling of him so close. pulling away, jess glances at your kiss-struck face before pressing another quick peck, both of you wearing tired but loving smiles.

“we should probably make a date out of the remaining food, huh?” you chuckle before agreeing, “oh, there’s still a lot there. turns out randall hates pasta, a long list of fruit, any form of potatoes, and … pretty much everything in here apart from crackers and cheese.”

jess is too busy watching your face, sparkling eyes and your lips moving, you barely say the last word before jess is kissing you again. it’s short but enough to have you at a loss of words, breath-taking.

your trying to regain your composure when he pulls away, his hand holding yours once more while leaning down to grip the basket he abandoned minutes before. “randall… god i hate that guy,” jess murmurs when you both begin to walk in a random direction, unsure where your walk will take you.

“me too. he said my sleeves should be a longer length the moment we caught a moment alone,” you complain, hands swinging between you both as jess scoffs, “insufferable idiot. i mean who hates your pasta? you make the best in town.”

“i know!” you reply, jess pecking you once more with his knowing smirk planted firmly on his face.

“and you look great. you always do.” you feel warm from the compliment, blood rushing to your face as you return with a small, “thank you.” jess turns away from you, walking you through the woods to find a good date spot where he can have a proper moment with you, a place he can keep you to himself for a little longer before returning to the chaos that is stars hollow.

jess squeezes your hand, “it’s good for me anyway, he lost his chances.” you weren’t used to jess being romantic, and you can tell from his lack of eye contact and blushed cheeks that he wasn’t either, but you smile before planting a kiss to his flushed skin, “like he or anyone else had a chance from the moment you got here.”

This might be a strange question but is there a divide between editing and writing when it comes to comics? I was having a conversation with a friend about female comic writers and I realized that (at least in the 80s and 90s) I can think of a lot more women who were editors than writers. That seems strange to me since I can think of a lot of fluidity between creative and editorial department when it comes to male writers, but I am probably missing some context, and I was wondering if you knew anything about the behind-the-scenes.

Oh, this is an interesting question. I don't have any insider knowledge on this, unfortunately, but you're correct: there is definitely something there.

I suspect, especially around DC, some of it is going to be the influence of people like Jenette Kahn and Karen Berger offering opportunities for employment, and some of it is good old misogyny at work.

Editor is an out-of-the-spotlight role on a book. Sure there are some who are particularly well known, particularly at Executive Editor level, but a lot of the general editorial work, especially at Assistant Editor level, is scutwork doing things that are incredibly necessary but not really appreciated by readers.

There is also the dynamic that editor and editing falls into the pre-computer category of typist work, and thus for women. It was generally expected pre-word processing software that a good typist would just...fix spelling and grammar, and in some circumstances were doing full edits, rewording things to make them more clear, providing plotting ideas and so on. There's a long history of unacknowledged women in academia who 'typed' their husband/father/brother's work but in modern terms would be considered a full collaborator in the process.

It does not shock me, as I started sorting through lists of female editors and executive editors, that a bunch of them are or were married to male comics writers. These three popped out at me, but they're not the only ones:

Barbara Randall Kesel

Anne Busiek (worked on various Astro City)

Alisa Bendis (edited her husband's work under the Jinxworld imprint)

Karen Berger, from some articles I've read, actively incubated and fought for women to get opportunities to edit and write comics. Vertigo ended up being her very own territory and you see a bunch of women working for it. (Also her own pregnancy and maternity leave probably contributed to changing the direction of comics in the early 1990s, but this is not the time to relitigate Armageddon 2001 and War of the Gods)

But yeah, I think the transition between editor and writer was less common for women in the 1990s, because of the dynamic where women were often only offered writing opportunities on female-led books. Mindy Newell worked on Wonder Woman and Catwoman stories. Barbara Randall Kesel started out on Batgirl, then got Hawk and Dove (with Dawn Granger!) collaborating with her then-to-be husband, and has noted that she pushed Karl to include more depth in Lois Lane.

I think it's partly that it's harder to make that leap into the spotlight if you are mostly only offered writing opportunities with someone else plotting, on female-led titles. There's just fewer chances available!

And we see this all the way to the present day: it's still notable for a woman to get to write a run on a male-led book, to the point that we still have titles where no woman has ever written one. Batman famously has never had a woman write a run on it (Devin Grayson has a single issue and one annual), and Detective Comics didn't have one until Mariko Tamaki in 2022 (Devin again has 2 earlier issues, because of the way NML stories were divvied up). I don't think a woman has ever had a run on The Flash or Green Lantern. I believe Green Arrow has had only one, with Julie and Shawna Benson in 2018, and equally I'm pretty sure Kelly Sue DeConnick was the first to get a run on Aquaman in 2018. I don't think a woman has written a Justice League title outside of fills (unless we are counting Devin Grayson writing JLA/Titans).

So yes, basically. Editor is seen as a lesser job (unless you get to the top of the greasy pole and get to be a group editor or executive editor, where you're setting direction for titles, and even then it's underappreciated and the writer gets the the majority of praise/condemnation for the title).

Bobbi Brown

Bobbi appeared in dozens of men's magazines from around 1991 though to 1995, mostly photographed by Suze Randall and J Stephen Hicks, with a shoot from the latter appearing inside and on the cover of the August 1991 issue of Penthouse, though she was not Pet of the Month. Several lesbian themed softcore pictorials appeared in Penthouse and other magazines as well a softcore boy/girl pictorial. Bobbi is often confused with Bobbie Brown, sometimes credited as Bobbie Brown-Lane, who is an American actress, model, and former beauty pageant contestant who famously appeared in the video for Warrant's song "Cherry Pie" and married the band's lead singer. Due to the confusion in the public's mind about the name, Bobbie Brown sued Penthouse because they used Bobbi's name in the magazine. Confusing things further is a second Penthouse Pet named Robin Brown who appeared in the April 1992 edition of Penthouse. As a result, there isn't much reliable information about Bobbi Brown on the internet.

Read the first chapter on AO3 here

And snippet 1 here

And snippet 2 here

And snippet 3 here

Just a short one, here.

“Hey, hey, hey…! Woah there, lad!” Hob says as he is almost bowled over by the little boy running full pelt round the corner. He drops his brushes with a clatter, but manages to catch the lad’s arm to stop him from bouncing off of his midriff and falling back on the cobbles. 

The boy gives an instinctual shove at Hob, a sob tearing out his throat, before he looks up and Hob recognises Morpheus’s little charge, red faced from exertion and blotchy with emotion. “Alex?” he says with worried bemusement. “What’re you doing here?”

“I HATE HIM!” Alex shouts up at Hob, face crumpling in anguish. “I hate him. I HATE him!” He tries to barrel past Hob, but Hob spins him round and drops to his knees. He holds Alex by the shoulders, and speaks soothingly to him to try and calm him down and understand what has happened to upset him so. 

“Alex!!” Just then, Randall comes skidding round the corner, looking equally as red-faced and rumpled as his brother, though he is not crying at least. “Oh, Mr- Hob!” he says in surprise, “Have you seen.-ah!” Randall’s shoulders sag with relief as he spots his brother peeping out from behind Hob’s head. “Alex! Thank goodness!! Never run away like that again.” he shouts, then looks pained and guilty when Alex hides his face in Hob’s chest and wails. “Ah, Alex I’m sorry-!”

“Where’s Morpheus?” Hob asks Randall. He gathers Alex into his chest and the boy sags against him, no longer trying to get away or fighting, but sobbing quietly. There was no way his mysterious friend would have let these two boys go haring off into the East End docks alone and so upset, but equally he couldn’t fathom why they would be here without him at all.

“He has his morning off every second Tuesday,” Randall mumbles. “We’ve been with Father.”

Ah. Well that might explain a few things. 

“Alright,” Hob says, squeezing Alex before standing and lifting the boy into his arms. Five is a trifle old to be carried in this day and age, but Hob doesn’t give two hoots for what people thought. Alex is no weight at all, and is still far too distressed to walk on his own two feet.

“Randall, if you can carry my brushes, I’ll walk you both home. It’s gone noon and no doubt Morpheus expects you back? Lets not have him worry. I was going to the Lord Mayor’s-filthy chimneys, he’s got- but a little detour to Cherry Tree Lane won’t be an issue.”

Randall Clark's Entry - October 29th 2077

Char, must've said this out loud a thousand times walking here. Maybe writing it will feel more like you heard.

You were right.

I was north of Spanish Fork. Took the 77 along Provo Bay to steer clear of town. Would've been home in an hour. Engine died, truck just stopped. So did a Chryslus in the other lane. Knew right away.

First nuke hit SLC inside a minute. I was looking South - Lucky Man! Flash behind me so bright world looked on fire. Old couple from the Chryslus starts screaming they can't see.

Didn't watch you die, Char. Saved my eyes. Counted 12 more flashes next 7 minutes. Ground shook each time, 18 seconds later.

When nothing hit for half an hour, took a look. Globe of fire where you and Alex died. Didn't kid myself.

Didn't know what to do. Grabbed my pack and rifle.

Saw to the old couple. Sat them up against car, let them hold and comfort each other. Told them I was going to get help, everything be okay. One bullet through both heads. Instant.

Five day hike back to Zion.

You told me. Stop running off to the wild. Man belongs with his family.

You were right. You were right. You were right. You were right. Wasn't there to hold you and my boy. Died without me. Never touch you or him again.

Should shoot myself. What I deserve.

Can't. Maybe soon.

Here's my poster of my official version of my version for my DisneyElseWorld's Pixar's...

INSIDE OUT 2!

I saw the new Inside Out 2 trailer, and they made Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Envy bad by betraying the old emotions. Lots of crazy stuff is about to happen! We don't know what's going on, lots of details are there too. But what would the ElseWorld version be like?

CLOTHING CHANGES!

Fear is now wearing the same vest but it's gray and black with the same stripes on it, Disgust now wears a pink/purple dress (just like the old concepts of her from the 1st movie), and Anger wears a black button on shirt with a red tie with gold marks. Joy and Sadness still stay the same.

NEW EMOTIONS!

For my idea. I have 6 new emotions, one of my OC emotions I've created like, Courage, Surprise, Pride, Trust, Frustration, and Shy.

MAIN VILLAIN

I am using on of my oc villains, Spite, to be the main villain of the AU second movie.

OTHER CHARACTERS

Characters like Nia, the assistant of Spite, she runs the business with him but she tries to avoid him to help others. Bud, Courage's blood cell buddy, he doesn't speak but he's sweet, nervous, cute and got some attitude. And Brain, the big boss of Riley's mind, and the emotions need his help to stop Spite.

What New Places Would the Emotions Go To?

In this AU, far from HQ and Long Term Memory, instead of the back of the mind being empty, there is a huge mind-filled city called Mindtopia, aka, The City of Riley, where everything in the mind has everybody for Riley's Inner Workings in her mind. That also includes Headquarters. And guess what, they're not the only company, there's also banks, council buildings, restaurants, malls, houses, apartments, and everything for Mind Workers after they work at Long Term Memory.

A Rescue Chapter 27

AO3

“Are you relieved because you don’t want kids or just not with her?” she is looking out the window at the beauty of the countryside and not at him.

 

“Oh, I want weans just not with her. I want to raise children with someone I love deeply. That isn’t  Laoghaire.”

 

She nods and turns to face him. “Yet you slept with her.”

 

He cannot deny the truth of that. A sigh and he attempts to explain. “There is a difference between lust and love, eh? I did fancy myself in love with her. I now know it was just lust.”

 

She turns back towards the scenery and there is silence for a few kilometers.

 

“How did you figure out the difference? Was it just her cheating?”

 

“Nae, it was…” he edits himself. No Jamie, you can’t say that. Not yet, “the distance her betrayal caused. I realized that I didn’t mind not seeing her. So, it couldn’t be love. Since, with time and distance, I have come to know that I don’t even like her.”

 

“Neither do I. My uncle taught me to try to see the good in everyone. ‘There is a spark of it in all you meet,’ I recall him saying. But with her, the Randall’s , I am not sure he was right about that.”

 

“I get your point,” he turns into the roadway that leads home, “my dad’s was, ‘All the good comes from God. If you don’t see something good in them, they need God,’ I try to remember that. It isn’t always easy.”

 

“No. When did you lose him?”

 

“I was eight, Jenny, ten. Then the bastard came. I knew, she knew but mam needed something. She thought she found it with him. Instead he shattered her,” he swallows hard and shakes his head, “enough of that, eh? This is a good day. A day to celebrate.”

 

“Yes,” her smile is genuine. It lifts his heart, “no more talk of them. You are not the father and it is a glorious thing!”

 

He is laughing when he pulls into the long lane and under the arches. Parking, he opens her door, lifting her out of the seat and then twirling her around. They are both laughing.

 

That is how Ellen and Jenny find them.

The Harlem River Lift Bridge - New York

The Harlem River span is a lift bridge that connects Manhattan with Randalls Island, designed by chief engineer Ammann. It carries six lanes of New York State Route 900G (NY 900G), an unsigned reference route, as well as two sidewalks, one on each side. The span connects to FDR Drive and Harlem River Drive, as well as the intersection of Second Avenue and East 125th Street, in East Harlem, Manhattan. At the time of its completion, the Harlem River lift bridge had the largest deck of any lift bridge in the world, with a surface area of 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2). To lighten the deck, it was made of asphalt paved onto steel girders, rather than of concrete.

The movable span is 310 feet (94 m) long and 92 feet (28 m) wide. The side spans between the movable span and the approach viaducts are each 195 feet (59 m) long. The total length of the bridge is 700 feet (213 m). The towers are 210 feet (64 m) above mean high water. Each of the lift towers is supported by two clusters of four columns, which supports the bridge deck. A curved truss at the top of each pair of column clusters forms an arch directly underneath the deck.

The lift span is 55 feet (17 m) above mean high water in the "closed" position, but can be raised to 135 feet (41 m). The movable section is suspended by a total of 96 wire ropes, which are wrapped around pulleys with 15-foot (4.6 m) diameters. These pulleys, in turn, are powered by four motors that can operate at 200 horsepower (149 kW). (Text from Wikipedia)

There have been three bridges at this site the first bridge was built 1841 the second bridge 1897 and the current bridge (in these images) was opened in 1956
