3, 5, 7, 23 for the dbda ask game!!

tysm omg

3. i think a lot of the characters on dbda are loved just the right amount by the fandom, netflix obviously underappreciates all of them because they cancelled the show >:( but if i were to choose i'd say tragic mick. like ohhhh his story actually killed me he has such great vibes. i'd love to write a poem about him if someone compiled his scenes for me to study

5. HAHA THIS ONE IS DIFFICULT see the quizzes can't decide but through unanimous vote it's in the order of charles, cat king, edwin! fun fact i've written rather long poems from edwin's perspective AND my friend who didn't know the quote existed coincedentally said the same thing edwin said to charles. i was having the same crisis as charles. make of that what you will 😭

7. i LOVE LOVE LOVE chorb and orbwin it's adorable but i also love all the domestic love headcanons i see. like the ones talking about how payneland would be in their free time (i have a lot of these myself that i'd kill to share)

23. i have a playlistttttt some of the songs are:

ahead by a century by the tragically hip

we go down together by dove cameron and khalid

better in the dark by jordana and tv girl

angel baby by troye sivan

meteor shower by cavetown

a boy named pluto by hailey knox

ghost town (voice memo) by chloe george

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Pairing: Dean Winchester x Female!Reader

Word Count: ~1k

Warnings: minor fluff, angst, murder (implied), character death

Summary: One good deed turns into your worst nightmare, one that you can’t stop from coming.

Square Filled: heartbreak (2023) for @spnaubingo

Author’s Note: any and all comments are appreciated <3

x

Before you can leave the bedroom, Dean pulls you in again and kisses you. He knows exactly what to do to get you to stay, but you promised your friend you’d go shopping with her. You wrap your arms around his neck and allow yourself to get lost in the kiss for exactly five seconds before you pull away.

“I gotta go, Dean,” you giggle.

“Come on, stay. I’ll do that thing you like,” he smirks.

“No. It’s not fair to use sex to hold me here. I’ll only be gone a few hours at most. You’re so clingy,” you laugh and push him off you. “You’ll survive for a few hours. I promise.”

“Okay, fine, but you’re not leaving my bedroom when you get back.”

“Deal,” you chuckle. “If I’m not back by seven, you have my permission to come get me.”

You kiss Dean quickly before leaving the bedroom. Dean won’t let you take his precious car so you opt to take one of the other older ones in the bunker’s garage. They’re all vintage classics that Savy fell in love with when she first saw them. She’ll appreciate you taking the 1955 Ford Thunderbird. Savvy is only in town for a few days on business so you only have a few days to hang with her before she goes back home on the East Coast.

“How are you and Jerry doing?” you ask when you pick her up.

Normally, the drive to the mall is only twenty minutes if you take the main roads and the highway. The weather is nice so you opt to take the back roads which will add another thirty minutes to the ride. Neither of you mind.

“We’re trying for another baby, so that’s exciting.” She already has four kids so you’re surprised she wants to bring another one into the world. “What about you? Any kids for you and Dean?”

“Savy, we’ve only been dating for six months.”

“So? You’re not getting any younger.”

“I don’t want kids, and I don’t think Dean will have an issue with me not wanting kids.” Kids don’t fit into the hunting life. “Plus, we’re taking things at a nice pace. He just asked me to move into the Bunker last week.”

“That must be easier for hunting.”

“Yeah, it is.”

“Are you happy, Y/N?”

“Very. Are you happy?”

“I am,” she smiles.

“Good.”

You turn the music up and let the wind blow through your hair as you drive down the desolate road. You turn the corner and see a gray car parked on the side of the road about one hundred yards away. There is a man standing by the car with his hands on his head like he’s stressed about his car situation. You slow down and turn the music off when you approach the man.

“Car trouble?”

“Yeah. My tire is flat, my phone is dead, and I don’t know how to change a tire. I know what you’re thinking. A man doesn’t know how to change a tire? I was never a car man, and no one ever taught me,” he chuckles nervously.

“Do you have a spare?”

“Yeah, in the back.”

“I know how to change a tire. I can help you.”

“You’re a lifesaver. Thank you.”

You pull up in front of the car, and Savy looks at you with concern.

“Are you sure you should be doing this?”

“I’m just changing a tire. It’s fine. Ten minutes tops.” You get out of the car. “Stay here.”

“Thank you for stopping. I would have had to walk home,” the man chuckles. “I’m Peter.”

“Y/N. That’s Savy, and it’s no problem. I’d want someone to stop for me.”

You take the spare from the back and get started on taking the current tire off the car. You have just undone the lugnuts from the rim when your phone rings from your car.

“Dean is calling you.”

“Answer it. Tell him I’ll only be a minute.”

Savy grabs your phone and answers his call.

“Y/N’s phone. How may I help you?”

“Where is Y/N?”

“She’s busy right now. Can I take a message?”

“Just tell her to call me when she can,” Dean says and hangs up. Dean puts his phone down and looks at his brother who is looking at his iPad. “So, you thinking ghost possession?”

“Well, the witnesses claim to see black goo coming out of the victims’ ears before they killed themselves.”

“Yeah, ghost possession. We’ll leave in an hour. We’ll pick up Y/N on the way.” Forty-five minutes later, Dean enters the man cave to grab something when he sees you sitting on the couch staring at the TV that’s turned to the news. “I thought you’d be gone for a few hours. When did you get in?”

“A few minutes ago.”

“Oh, well, Sam found a case a few states away. He’s thinking ghost possession. You in?” You don’t answer and continue to look at the TV. “Are you okay?”

“Look what’s on the news.”

Dean walks closer to you and pays attention to the news reporter.

“While on a car chase, authorities discovered a 2003 gray Honda Civic abandoned on the side of the road. When authorities looked closer, there were signs of a struggle. We’re not clear as to what may have taken place, but they found two women’s purses on the ground. It is presumed that two women are missing, but their identities remain a mystery as of right now. Back to you, Sam.”

The news coverage changes to another news reporter who is already on the scene.

“Yes, Jill, what happened here is a tragedy. Local authorities are doing everything they can to locate the two women, hopefully alive.” Shouts from the officers can be heard, and Sam looks behind him to see what is going on. “This just in, I think they found a body.” Sam turns back to the camera. “I am unsure if they are able to identify the body. When we have more information, you’ll be the first to know. Back to you, Jill.”

“Wow, that’s so sad,” Dean says.

You look at Dean with unshed tears in your eyes.

“I’m at the bottom of Waconda Lake.”

“What?”

“Who are you talking to?” Sam asks when he pops his head in. Suddenly, you mist away, and realization dawns on Dean’s face. His knees buckle and he has to sit down before he crumbles to the ground. “Dude, you okay?”

“I think Y/N’s dead.”

hello luv how are you doing? I’ll let you know u’r curring my depression. Could you please write an angsty pov with simon riley where he finds a fem reader on the old russian base on his mission??? so he sees her russian uniform and aimes his weapon on her but hesitates once he sees she’s unarmed combat medic?? and she kinda hides there in the from her comrades cuz they claimed her a traitor for saving an “enemy” soldier’s life?

if that’s too much and definitely not what you wanna write it’s totally okay. sorry. and thank u again hope u have a good day!!

omg hi anon! i'm doing good, but i hope you are doing even better! <3 yeah, i can do that for you :) hope this is okay for you!

cw: angst(ish), cursing, idk if i missed any let me know

Simon 'Ghost' Riley x Combat Medic Reader

Simon was currently securing some intel from an enemy base, exploring what he thought was empty, abandoned. Just before he was about to leave and call it clear, he felt the need to check the only quarters with a closed door.

As he walked in, he instantly raised his gun. He didn't get a good look at first, just noticing her Russian uniform, but his finger let off the trigger when he saw her - froze, hands up, unarmed.

She was clearly beat up, bruises scattered amongst her arms, a neat gash on the side of her head. Messy, matted hair. Could tell you were exhausted.

"I'm sorry! Please! Please don't kill me," you begged.

"What are you doin'... here?" Ghost asked.

You swallowed as you tried to find your words, unsure if he'd believe you.

"Come on, spit it out."

"I am hiding here... from my comrades..." you started. "They call me a traitor."

"Traitor? Why?"

"I saved an enemy's life... They were unarmed, in so much pain," you sniffed, lips quivering as you cried. "They said... they said-"

"Shh, quiet down, now," he rasped. He didn't really know what to think. On one hand, he thought it was brave, heroic of you. It's your job. On the other, he didn't want to risk getting involved with a possible dangerous situation.

"Are they lookin' for you?"

"Yes... I know I need to get out of here but," you shrugged. "I don't know... They could kill me."

"None of that, now," he whispered. "Let's get you out of here first. I'll get you some place safe."

--

He led you back to a safe area, and helped you get into the passenger side of the truck. He hopped in the passenger seat, quietly sitting there as he took out his phone, sending a few texts.

"Suppose you could come with me," he spoke. "But, you can't wear... that. And don't go snoopin' around... or do anythin' to get yourself killed."

You nodded your head understandingly. "Yes, sir. Thank you... thank you."

He got out a few spare pairs of cargo pants and some shirts, tossing them down in the middle seat. "I'll stop somewhere soon. Let you change and... get yourself cleaned up."

--

You were beyond thankful he was helping you. Maybe this was your chance to start over, fully get away from your old comrades, from the military.

You feel cleaner than before, able to make yourself decent at a truck stop and get into a... clean enough pair of clothes.

--

Just as you expected, coming onto this new base, you were questioned by everybody. They had to make sure you weren't putting up an act, but they soon halfway trusted your sincereness.

You were shown to a spare room, and instantly plopped into the bed. Needing the rest as you now felt somewhat safe. It was very much awkward, so you didn't want to leave your room, but you were so hungry you had no choice.

It was late at night at this point, a little bit past 1200. Figuring everyone was asleep, you walked into the shared kitchen to find some grub only to be startled by the large presence before you, the man who saved you, a little bit dressed down than how you met him before.

"Hungry?" he asked. "Food in the fridge."

"Thank you..." you spoke quietly. "Hey... what's your name?"

He just looked at you before he answered. "Ghost."

"Thank you, Ghost..." you weakly smiled. "For saving me."

He hummed as he nodded.

"You didn't have to-"

"I know."

"I-I'm Y/N. Nice to... meet you," you chirped as you opened the fridge, picking up a container of leftovers that seemed decent enough to eat.

"Yeah. Well, have a good night," he walked away from you, not looking back as you watched his tall figure disappear into the darkness of the hallway.

--

A/N - I liked this idea a lot, I just hope I wrote it okay lol.

First NHL Hat Trick for Our Favourite 1OA April 9, 2024

Pregame Media Ops: Slaf commenting on how all the young guys on the team are growing... A nice, humble reflection from the one who's had the steepest growth this season:

First Period 1:05: Matheson rips it and scores. The guys are pumped, Matty leads the high five line in front of the bench.

Oh, wait. It deflected off Slaf, who was obstructing the goalie's view at the net. #17 on the season for this kiddo.

Kelly Greig caught up with him during intermission to give him credit for the deflection. After apologizing for not having much of a voice for the interview, Slaf laughed off the praise as usual:

Second period 8:43: Suzy dishes a nice pass that Slaf puts right into the net.

Cue Slaf immediately crediting Suzy for that Spooky Suzuki pass:

Of course Cole had to grab Slaf's face... because who can resist pinching those goofy baby boy cheeks?

Not Coco, the king of nose boop cellys and chin scratches, obviously.

And Slaf was all... 😝

Goal #18, check. 2-0, Montreal. Little guy returns to the bench all smiles... and on hatty watch.

Gally scores, 3-0. And then, after RHP hit a player and created a little space, he and Slaf executed a quick line change and Savy sent a long pass in his direction, for this beauty at 11:22:

And it started raining hats... A pretty special experience for the fans and for Slaf, who later quipped that he'd had a hat trick as a kid and the only one who threw his hat was his dad. [I don't know whether that's a laugh about it or cry about it piece of information, but anyhow it's very endearing.]

TSN's Frankie Corrado was thrilled and may have used the phrase "ELITE SNIPER JURAJ SLAFKOVSKÝ!" and gushed a little about Slaf's perfect-for-Montreal personality. [He loves Junior, and I am here for it.]

His teammates weren't bothered by his success either and gave him a round of fist bumps, head pats and congratulatory stick taps. Mike snatched up the puck before skating over and giving Slaf a little extra congratulations, Suzy reached over the bench to give him a good stick tap, and Newy had a happy head pat for the team's baby. Slaf later mentioned that one of the guys saved a hat for him.

Montreal went on to score 5 more goals, ending the game 9-3. Big W.

The three stars at the Bell Centre:

⭐⭐⭐ Dvo

⭐⭐ Gally

⭐ Slaf

The little fist bump between Gally and Slaf in the tunnel... Aww.

First career hat trick, 19 on the season now. How did that feel when you saw the hats flying on the ice?

—Marc Denis, RDS

Slaf wasn't able to respond right away because of cheers coming from the crowd. He asked if he should respond then decided to wait a little.

Once the crowd quieted enough, Marc Denis asked him a few questions, and Slaf mentioned how happy he was for Dvo (who scored two goals in his first game after returning from injury/surgery) "and especially for Gally." (who also scored two goals and got an assist).

Listen, we've seen it a couple of times… You're pretty calm and quiet right now but you're had some crazy reactions when you're scoring goals.

Juraj, immediately... 😝

Where does that comes from?

Marc Denis translated his answers for the crowd and Slaf broke out his best "Merci beaucoup!" walking the fine line between cracking himself up and patting himself on the back for his efforts as he signed the lens:

The kid was happy, the team was happy for him.

He hasn't stopped smiling and he shouldn't. I mean, it's a pretty cool moment for him, especially to be at home for the fans to obviously reward him like that. I mean, they support him. They love him for a reason. I think he's gonna be a good player here for a long time, an important player on this team.

—Brendan Gallagher, Montreal Canadiens, Post Game, April 9, 2024

The progression he's had this year is unbelievable. He's a special player, so it's been a lot of fun to watch him from up top per the TV. Now to see it on the ice, see his first hat trick, was a special moment. Yeah, he was having a good time.

—Christian Dvorak, Montreal Canadiens, Post Game, April 9, 2024

Slaf was beaming during the post game media ops, although admitted that he hadn't been able to nap that afternoon because he just couldn't fall asleep.

He was pretty hoarse, too, but shrugged it off as no big deal, jokingly adding that being tired and under the weather was a small price to pay if it helped to achieve the same results every game.

After a little more chatting, one of the reporters brought up Slaf's latest history-making accomplishment...

Maybe you've been asked, but you're the second youngest player to score a hat trick for the Habs. How does it feel?

...which led to a classic *humble shrug* Slaf moment:

I don't even know these records. It's not important. [ … ] It's not about records, it's… Yeah… I'm just happy for team win, and yeah, I got lucky, scored three. [ Laughs ]

—Juraj Slafkovský, Montreal Canadiens, Post Game, April 9, 2024

The Habs can count their team lucky to have scored such a gem of a kid.

Slaf's parents, Juraj, Sr. and Gabriela, and his little sister, Lucia, had recently left Montreal after visiting him for his 20th birthday, so they didn't see his hatty in person, but some of his friends were who were visiting from Košice were at the game and got to celebrate the win with him and some teammates.

After the game, my friends and I went to a restaurant with a few guys from the team. It was a great evening. We were heading to New York the next morning, so I couldn't stay up too late. Unlike my pre-game nap, I didn't have any trouble falling asleep. I took some medicine since I was a little sick—I had lost my voice, I had a cold and a runny nose. Nothing too serious. With three goals against the Flyers, I have 19 goals. I don't really like talking about my personal records. I've already said it: I want to win, I want to help my team. But I'm not gonna lie, I want to reach 20 goals. I still have three games left to do it. I can say the same thing for the 50 points—I have 48 after 78 games. Reaching those personal goals would be great. At the beginning of the season, those numbers looked unrealistic but then things improved. My game has probably grown more than some people expected, but I don't want to slow down.

—Slaf (via French + Slovak versions of his NHL blog), April 13, 2024

Hi friend :D Time to get Questioned

13, 24, and 36 for the ask game! <3 If ur answering ofc

Hello friend! Can I call you Savi or would you prefer Matteo?

I am answering! Lets do this :D

13. Do you listen to music while you write? If yes, what have you been listening to recently?

I do! At the moment I've been listening to a mix of TheFatRat and Alen Walker to write my stories, but I often use various videogame soundtracks.

24. How do you choose whose POV to write in?

This one is difficult because I hop around POV a lot. It's a part of my writing style but it's mainly who the main point of interaction is.

36. What Fic are you proudest of?

Unravelling, definitely unravelling. I love it so much I'm so proud of how it's panning out. I could be excited about it all day.

But, honorary mention of Five days, Five months, five minutes, five years. Im really proud of how that one was received, its definitely a great story.

Thank you for the ask!

0.15 the wicked witch is dead !! + written — SURFS UP ! 🏄‍♀️

It had been an hour or two since the party started and you already had to go to the basement to get some more drinks. Just as you got a large pack of cola’s you pulled your phone out of your pocket to answer a text.

J had just gotten to the party so you told her you were getting soda’s from the basement and for her to just wait in your living room. But it had been sometime since she’s seen you so she just ignored you and ran to your basement.

As you tried you best to not topple over with the heavy cans of soda’s in your hands, you felt someone’s hands your own. You looked up to see J taking the soda’s off of you and winking at you. Your eyes grew wide as she giggled and you both excited the basement.

J placed the soda’s on your kitchen counter as she turned to you and smiled.

“ Seems like the party going well! “. J said as your eyebrows furrowed as you tried to hear what she said, as she got closer to you and whispered in your ear.

“ Party’s going well isn’t it “

“ Ya! But I don’t know where half my friends are! “. You giggled as J did too.

“ J COME JOIN US! “. Sieun yelled grabbing the younger girls hand dragging her to the dance floor. You chuckled as you felt someone towering over you.

“ Hi! “. You looked up to see what you thought was the tallest person ever. The girl giggled as you stared up at her.

“ I’m Sullyoon you are? “

“ Y/n! I’m one of the people who are throwing this party “

“ Cool! I don’t really like party’s but this one’s pretty- “

“ What’s going on over here? “. J said as her hand smacked around your waist you looked up puzzled.

“ Oh I was just talking to Sullyoon! “. You yelled to J as she nodded and slightly glared at the taller girl.

“ I think I’ll get going now! Need to make sure my friends are ok! “. You nodded as Sullyoon left, and immediately turned around to J.

“ Why’d you run to me like we are dating? “. You didn’t have any liquid courage but for some reason your were being really bold infront of J.

“ I know we’re not.. I just wanted to talk to you.. I’m the bathroom! “. You tilted your head at the girl as she dragged you to your beach houses down stairs basement.

While on the other side of the party Hanni was trying to rizz up Aran.

“ Have you ever been to a beach party? “.

Hanni asked one arm draped around Arabs shoulder the other on the girls knee.

“ No! They’re not really my thing! “. Hanni nodded as she got closer to Arab’s ear.

“ Ya while I do like party’s I rather be watching a movie at home “. Yunjin who happened to be close by rolled her eyes. Hanni was one of the biggest extroverts she knew, always partying or doing something with a big group of people.

“ Really? “

“ Ya! … I actually wanted to know if you wanted to watch a movie at my house tomorrow.. “. Hanni stared at the flower as Aran smiled and finger under her chin and tilted her head up.

“ I would love to.. “. Hanni turned away face as pink as her hair a few days ago, as the girl giggled. What a turn of events.

-

“ So what did you want to tell me in this bathroom? “. J looked up confused before her face finally relaxed.

“ I.. I just wanted to know.. why you haven’t been coming to our swimming lessons.. “. You walked up to girl as her eyes grew wide.

“ Oh.. another one of my cousins just came back so I was just hanging out with him im so sorry J! “. J started to smile as her hands went to cup your face.

“ You know your very cute when your worried.. “. You blushed as J giggled. She could feel the heat coming of your face as she got closer to you. You were trying your absolute best to not stare at her lips, when you saw her eyes drift down to yours. Before you heard yelling and dashing.

J took her hands off your face as you cracked open the bathroom door.

You were busted…

-

“ WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! WE WERENT EVEN GONE FOR 3 HOURS AND YOU ALREADY HAD A PARTY SAVY! “. You watched as your mom yelled at your sister as you just keep your head down in shame.

“ And you! You the responsible one why did you let- “

“ I only had this party because.. I’m not going to or throwing any more! After this summer I’m buckling down and actually studying! That’s why Karina’s always over! She been helping get prepared for next year.. “. Your parents started at Savy in shock as you did too. You new your sister had grown but not this much.

Last year your sister was on the brink of being kicked out of her college because all she was doing was partying instead of studying.

“ Plus it was going to end at 12 and I was going to clean up the after math.. “. Your parents nodded as you smiled at your sister and she smiled back.

“ As sweet as this is your both still grounded until Monday.. “. You sighed as you and your sister went upstairs to your rooms.

“ Hay Savy.. are you actually going to try this year? “. You sister looked back at you as she opened her bedroom door.

“ Yes.. you got to lean on someone of something goes wrong and partying all year won’t make me that person.. “. You smiled as you sister went into her room and you into yours.

So much happened tonight.. but all you could think about was that almost kiss between you and J..

What if she just saw a bug on your face? Or maybe a hair? Or maybe she was just actually going to.. kiss you..

masterlist | next

summary : it was your 1st trip to the sunny beaches of cali. you had never been interested in anything else but surfing.. well that was until you saw the new teen surfing instructor j. she was everything you wanted and more. But with that came a really really REALLY dense girl who would probably never see your feelings.. which is what you thought for now.

[hyperionshipping]

1-5!!! (kittyandco)

AH UM. That last question x.x;;;; Kitty... I will be answering forrrr Lee!! Lee needs more love

1) what does your f/o’s youtube recommendations look like?

I think it's lots of ranch/rodeo stuff. Or horse care. Lee doesn't often use YouTube. I think specifically he likes Post 10's videos. It's one of the few channels he's subscribed too. (He needed to ask how too)

2) if your f/o has any social media accounts, what’s their icon?

Again, Lee is... he's not old school but he's NOY tech savy. Anything public has his face. Or a photo of something else he found pretty. If he took it, it's slightly blurry usually

3) what’s in your f/o’s bookcase/e-reader/etc.? does your f/o even like to read?

Ummmm!! God I don't know actually? He's totally got a favorite book. I just don't know what...

4) what’s in your f/o’s camera roll?

LOTSA photos of me, and me and him! Lee loves taking photos of me because I'm his favorite human. He thinks I'm the handsomest thing around so of course he takes a bunch. He also takes photos of nature, shaky photos of dogs for me, things like that!

5) how quickly was your f/o ready to call you their s/o or spouse?

UM. WELL. OKAY. SOOO. Uh. >.> <.<

Lepos was. Very very ready to a. call me his boyfriend but also b. call me his husband. I. Think sometimes he refers to me as that without hearing himself because I'm that speical to him! Nothing's happened yet but... maybe one day

Pick 2 OC questions for each of the A6 girls

Savi

7. What song reminds you of this oc? Does this match up with the type of music your oc likes to listen to?

Fly (Maddie & Tae) which isn't exactly the type of music she likes. She likes stuff like Kelly Clarkson or Christina Perri more than country, but she'd probably listen to Maddie & Tae without complaining.

11. Does your oc have any interests/hobbies that they hide from everyone? Why do they hide these interests?

Not so much hiding as just shy about her embroidery and the sketching she does to plan out designs. Most people never cared about it when she was a princess, it doesn’t have any practical value so she feels like it would be a silly thing to bring up on the Andromeda Six, and she doesn’t think she’s all that good at the sketching. (June and Bash would both roll their eyes and disagree strenuously if she confessed that while showing them her sketches)  But the first time she fixes a rip in her uniform with a spray of embroidered flowers, Aya and Bash are immediately “THAT’S SO COOL :D” and she starts reevaluating her views of that talent.

Rue

1. What’s your oc’s most irrational fear? Is there a specific reason this fear came about?

Slugs. She stepped on one barefoot once and completely squished it and the sensation of cold and slimy on her foot took FOREVER to go away(this may or may not be inspired by personal experience >.<) so she's always freaked out at the thought of it happening again bc it was really gross. Vexx teases her about it a LOT during his time as her guard.

20. What’s a superpower or magical ability that this oc would hate having?

Invisibility. She already feels like no one (except Vexx and Nerissa) sees her, why would she ever want to make that literal?

Faith

16. What’s your oc’s nighttime routine like?

Strip down to tank top and undies for sleeping, brush teeth etc, read/otherwise mess around on her holopad for about an hour, then sprawl on her stomach and be dead to the world(50/50 shot she's snoring juuuust a little) in five minutes tops.

25. How does your oc handle sadness?

Talks it out, usually to plants, but a wall will do. Back at the palace she would have basically lived in her greenhouse and talked/cried it out to her orchids for a couple days(Who'd miss her?). On the Andromeda Six, she borrows Ryona's flowers since she hasn't had time to collect many of her own. If it's really bad she'll just curl up and cry her eyes out.

Aurah

4. Is your oc good at keeping secrets?

Oh, yes, very good. She says her lips are sealed, no one will hear so much as a syllable of it from her.

10. Who’s the first person your oc goes to to talk about something that made them happy? Sad? Angry?

At the palace, the answer to all of those was Nerissa(for a while Sorenn got her angry venting, but they drifted apart after he joined the Crown Guard) with Vexx in a close second, on the Andromeda Six it's Ryona for happy and angry and Calderon(romance) gets the sad bc she doesn't feel like she has to be strong around him. :))))

He also puts a normal name when playing Kahoot.

Like

Just “Riddle”

Or like his full name “Riddle Rosehearts”

Sometimes when he feels like it he puts “Riddle Rose<3″

That’s the most amount of informality you’ll get-

And he usually comes in 4th and 5th place because of his stupid wifi-

Trey Clover

Lmao

He loves it

Not too much

But it makes him relieve and scared at the same time when the professor says it’s Kahoot time-

Like-

He’s veryyy normal

Though he can be so done when the class is in the midst of pure chaos-

Gets a decent amount right and wrong-

Super chill

Unlike Heartslabyul Dorm leader-

He just lay back-

Relax.

But if he feels a bit of competitive spirit,

He’ll manage to get 6th to 8th instead of the usual 10th to 15th place-

He names himself “Trey”, “trey”, “4leafclover”, “bakes a win”, “trey clover”, “lucky clover” stuff like that.

He doesn’t rage quit-

He super chill so-

yeah.

Cater Diamond

Honestly,

he thinks it’s the perfect time to take a picture

correction PICTURES

Listen

People playing Kahoot is like a warzone

But to people who don’t really care-

It’s the perfect time to find memes

It’s like a meme mind field for Cater

everywhere

Riddle rage quit-

perfect cut scream

Trey looking so done

Make a caption saying “Look at the excitement on his face” while zooming in on his face with a perfect cut scream from someone-

He honestly doesn’t really care about the Kahoot game or more rather the meme moments he can capture and upload onto magicam-

Seriously dude-

But he names himself like with a shit ton of emojis. All lower case.

“cater”, “the diamond”, “UwU” 

Look it’s for the aesthetics-

Azul Ashengrotto

The perfect time to crush his classmates’ souls

Thanks to Idia, he got the best wifi amongst all the other Year 2s,

and he’s super smart

So he’ll get 1st.

Only first.

Can’t afford to get 2nd place.

If he didn’t he’ll remain calm in the class,

but back in his room he goes into a rage quit.

I think he’d be the type to get the first question wrong on purpose, just so they’ll answer all the questions right,

immediately jumping to 1st place to crush whoever got 1st place initially and presumes to maintain his place.

Another one who types in his normal, generic name.

“Azul”, “Azul Ashengrotto”

he doesn’t really do much

but imagine that monopoly meme just that phones are everywhere and he raises his own with that screen where you get first place in kahoot when the game ends?

That’s him.

Jade Leech

Plays it like a normal person-

Normal nickname with a mushroom emoji

Gets a decent 2nd - 4th place-

Next-

Floyd Leech

Purposely brought a laptop

Why?

To hack into the Kahoot

He type in a crack shit nickname and spam like 20000000000000000 of it into the Kahoot.

He’d also be the type to laugh at someone’s suffering when they dropped places.

He also hacks into some people’s Kahoot especially Riddle’s to mess up their answers-

As I said, he’ll give himself shitty, totally crackhead energy nicknames like idk-

“I heard you”, “My mix tape”, “loli” or some shit

List could go on-

Leona Kingscholar

Would go into the Kahoot,

and never play it cuz he feels it’s the perfect time to take a nap-

sleeps throughout the entire Kahoot-

so he’ll always get last place cuz he didn’t do shit-

Lilia Vanrouge

He is tech savy grandpa, alright?

And he’s the type to pick the weirdest most memeiest nicknames in exsistence-

“Call me Duty”, “Grandpa 2.0″, “Master Chef”, “Ulikelolis”, “Sexy Bread”, “Baby Bread���-

Ya name it-

he doesn’t really care what place he’s in

But he’ll sometimes look at the memes Cater posted-

Lmao-

Malleus Draconia

The true boomer

Seriously has no idea how Kahoot works-

Malleus bby-

He’s the true grandpa brain here when it comes to Kahoot-

Like bruh-

“Lilia, what’s those numbers?”

“To type in the PIN code,”

“Pin code??”

Writes the numbers down on a sticky notepad on his phone-

“I don’t have a pin. Maybe that’s why it’s not working??”

“Malleus, no-”

He so confuse-

His nicknames are like “Tsunotaro”, “Malleus”, “Gargoyles”

When he made it passed the PIN code that is-

Always asks Lilia or Silver for help.

Ok to participate in the dbd ask game, I want to ask u something, if you existed in the universe, would you hang around as a ghost? And what would you do?

But may I also add, wtf do u think the cause of death would be??

hmmm. i would, yeah, for a while at least. i'm still young and i'd be leaving a lot behind if i left for the afterlife immediately, yeah?

running from death seems fucking terrifying but i think i could manage if i found someone that could see me that i could stick with? ON THAT NOTE i'd 100% try to find the dead boy detective agency office there is no other choice about it

i'd definitely visit my friends a lot too, even if i couldn't interact with them.. @lokis-bitter-ghost i'd come find you before we left to find the dbda for sure

i think i'd travel a bit too, see places i want to see (like the place where different scenes from shows and movies were filmed, i love them too much)

cause of death...(AJSGSHSG my keyboard just suggested it would be "FRENCH" in all caps) would probably be some health issue because i'm very bad at taking care of myself sometimes tbh

[jaskiersbeloved]

Steve Rogers or Chris Evans' character from Gifted.

AVI, WTF FRICK, I WILL REVENAGE SOON, JUST YOU WAIT!

But..

Um…

I think Frank beceuase Steve is with Tony?

Give me two fictional characters and I’ll tell you which I’d rather date.

[anitmb]

Hi Ani, I’m not the anon who just asked about your new merchant mod, so please don’t come down on them. If you make a mod, you should support it, not tell ppl to tune files themselves. Most ppl use mods because they wouldn’t know how to make their own, or know what file to tune, or how! Mods shouldn’t be an exclusive club for ppl who are tech savy, should they? They gave you feedback about your mod not working properly, your response was arrogant.

My first truely negative ask <3

After 13 years of modding it was about to happen at some time ^_^

I really hope the original anon who asked the question didn't take my answer as an arrogant one because that was not my intent. Of course I support my mods and want to know about bugs and issues and I'm already collecting info on some issues the mod has from other users.

The anon also asked for an option to lower customer autonomy and editing the ITUN file is the answer to that.

I do not assume everybody knows how to mud but I also don't believe in going the EA route and assuming players are incapable of doing anything by them selves. Anybody who plays TS3 and is trying to keep it alive and running 13 years after it has been released and who is using mods has probably at least stumbled on the package editor and xml tuning, which the ITUN basically is.

Could I have given more detailed instructions on what to edit in the ITUN file? Sure. Now that I re-read my answer I should have actually done that. But pointing a player to the correct file and saying that by editing this you can achieve what you asked for is no too much to ask :)

[thebeautyoffanfics]

When the ask box has been dead-

SAVI WHERE R U?!!!!

WAWAh honestly my fault <//3 savvi has asks to answer, but star's,,, procrastinating ;;

Ducktales Della Arc Reviews: The Great Dime Chase!

Welcome back all you happy people, to my look at the series first arc! I covered the pilot last week and this week i’m going full speed ahead with two more review for this arc, one more for the Lena arc all leading up to BOTH finsihing up next week for DUCK WEEK, my huge celebration of the final episode of Ducktales 2017. So with all that in mind when we last left off the kids moved in, webby gained friends, Donald and Scrooge made the first steps to patching up.. and Dewey found out his mom was also invovled with their adventures setting this arc off. 

This is also where the airing order reshuffling started as this episode was pushed up by two replacing impossible summit as the third episode... and where said order reshuffling for both this arc and the Lena arc really bit Disney in the ass by giving fans the wrong idea about the series pacing. See the original idea was to have a few episodes as a buffer, since this arc itself is only about 5 episodes long, so the pacing would be more spread out and fans while likely getting impatient for the della mystery to be resolved, would expect it to take about that long after a while. The same was clearly planned for the Lena arc. 

The problem is Disney didn’t give one shit about proper airing order, story pacing or any of that at the time despite their most popular show at said time having the same pacing structure and having been aired in the right order. So as a result and as most of you already know, season 1′s structure was a mess: The globetrotting adventure episodes were off ballance with ones set in Duckburg itself, Scrooge sometimes felt like a supporitng character in the first half due to his two focus episodes being crunched to the back for holidays... it was bad. And it was worst here as by having both the Della and Lena arcs progress pretty quickly in the first 6.. it was thus jarring and grating that there was zero progress for either in the rest of the first half, and they had to move the spear of selene up a few episodes when they came back just to make up for it.. which still messed with pacing as that arc wouldn’t be picked up until the final three episodes solving nothing. This made fans blame the creators for sloppy pacing and for taking too long to get to the Della thing when they’d done nothing wrong and HAD staggered it out. It wasn’t till Frank later revealed the order was a bit bungled we got the message and until a few months into the series being on Disney Plus we got a proper order for the series. And again, the arc has pacing issues we’ll get to without this.. but they were made so much work by Disney blatantly disrespecting and ingoring their creative team. 

I will give credit where it’s due though: Disney learned from it. While Season 2 had a few episodes shuffled around, this time it was due to trying out that binge airing strategy they were doing to get shows on Disney Plus faster, airing DuckBombs (Woo-Ooo!) frequently, so they wanted the airing to flow properly with that without screwing up the flow fo the season more than they absolutely had to. They were being careful and delberate this time not to make the same mistake and with season 3, they simply havent’ shuffled the airing order at all> The only two episodes aired out of order were holiday episodes purposefully made to air at the right time and detached from the season as a whole. This stretches to other shows too: Amphibia is two seasons in and Owl House got through it’s whole season with at worst minimal changes to the airing lineup and the arcs all being properly spaced and aired as intended. I give Disney a lot of shit, rightfully so, but I will give them all the credit when they learn from their mistakes and they REALLY did here, learning to trust their creators to know when to actually make an episode and simply having them set aside holiday episodes if they want one. 

Otherwise not a lot of lead in for this one: It introduces a bunch of the supporting cast, reintroduces the board in full, and in general is a pretty good episode. Find out why under the cut. 

We open with the introduction of the shows go to Show Within a Show Ottoman Empire. And what I’d forgotten was Louie wasn’t always into it but there’s a subtle arc to it: he gets into it, slowly obesses over it, by the end of the season he’s got his brothers into it, it’s not a huge thing but it’s a little detail I can’t help but enjoy a hell of a lot.  But him not liking it is part of a larger problem Scrooge has picked up on: Louie’s laziness has reached godlike new levels: he’s opened about 7 cans of PEP! and only taken a sip from each, won’t change the channel because the remote, which is right next to him and would only take him hopping slightly to the left to get to it or incnching over a bit is “too far”. Scrooge finally blows up at the sight when Louie tosses his phone away for not being charged and assumes he can get another one because “We’re rich”. Scrooge corrects him “I”m rich!” and then drags him off by the hoodie with him to the office so he’ll learn the value of a hard day’s work. And really.. the scene is a good showcase for Scrooge: Louie is acting like the embodiment of all deadbeats and Scrooge is still VERY patient with the boy until it’s very clear he needs a wakeup call. Given Scrooge has a temper on the best of occasions it really shows he’s trying with the boys, and only really snapped when it was clear Louie NEEDED someone to snap at him and snap him out of his bullshit. 

Meanwhile Dewey sneaks into Webby’s room to read her secret file on the McDuck family only to LITERALLY be caught red handed as she put glitter on her outside.. because it looks pretty. And as a security measure. Given she lives with a trained spy who likely has riffled through her stuff at least once, or would at least solely try to check her files just to make sure their secure, and lives in a place that gets broken into or nearly blown up, both by Glomgold, on a regular basis, i’d expect no less. But she also points out the obvious once he explains he’s looking for information on his family: He could’ve just asked. As we saw back in Woo-ooo! like yours truly webby will gladly go on about things she’s obsessed about at the drop of a hat and has likely been dying for someone to share her vast conspiracy board with. As for why he didn’t do the obvious, keep in mind he doesn’t know Webby well this point, so he dosen’t know what questions he asked might set her off and also doesn’t know WHY his uncles don’t talk about her, so he’s being cautious and it’s a nice foreshadowing for his secret keeping throughout the arc.. and how it’s an inherently dumb and selfish idea that only slows down his investigation. 

So naturally given the sequel hook at the end of the pilot, he asks about Della. And after drawing the curtains and making sure Scrooge isn’t around to listen Webby asks what HE knows. Naturally given this is a whole story arc he only knows what she looks like from an old photo of her dunking donald’s head in his birthday cake, and Webby.. knows even less. No one talks about Della and the last time anyone did, a mailmain brought some junk mail with her name on it, Scrooge bought out the post office and they never saw that mail man again. Webby naturally thinks Scrooge murdered him... and while I don’t think he went THAT far, I pity that poor shcmoe and whatever ice floe he’s been banished to. And not a small villiage in the arctic mind you like an actual ice floe scrooge left him on with a lifetimes suply of beans.

 This also admittedly answers a question i’ve been griping about for some time that turns out had a logical answer: I thought he’d somehow wiped her out from public record and the internet and then magically put her back. I was wrong and simply hadn’t rewatched this episode and connected the dots. He likely didn’t do.. any of that, but the triplets likely never thought to internet search her with Donald because as far as they knew Donald was an average person, and thus their mom would be too and looking her up wouldn’t tell her anything about them. It still leaves the plot hole of how they knew about Scrooge and not the Della search, I have no answer for that one, but hey sometimes these things happen and it’s a good enough show I can ignore it. Point is they had no reason to research her before then and Donald likely went out of his way to hide anything about her when they visited places.  Likewise Scrooge was likely so miserable and consumed with his search, and once that was called off his failure, he likely pulled every archive and artifact for his own personal collection to pour over them in sadness and loss and simply put most of it back into the public once the boys helped him heal by the end of the season and the truth was out there. Likewise while the internet info was likely there after this episode too Dewey, as foolish as he can be, likely wasn’t stupid enough to look up his mom’s name on his uncle’s wifi. While Scrooge likely isn’t tech savy, given how paranoid he is and how much of a sore spot this is, it’s not a stretch to have him ask gyro to monitor his wifi for certain key words. So yeah i’ll admit when I was wrong and there was a logical explanation, if still with some holes, all along.

Anyways Webby has one place she hasnt’ been able to get into that might have the answers: Scrooge’s Personal Archives. And as it turns out, both parties are heading to the bin: Scrooge since, much like the comics, that’s where his office is, and Webby and Dewey for the same reason The bin being Scrooge’s buisness center, where his office is where he has meetings where a lot of his emoployees are is very accurate to the comics, as while the layout was never entirely consient apart from “Scrooge’s office is the only way in and out of the bin itself” and said office having a very consistent and iconic look that the series didn’t change. But as we’ll see they added two extra parts to it that in the comics scrooge would Balk at the expense of but this scrooge, whiel still probably not happy about the extra money, knows are vitally necessary. 

Speaking of which the plot splits in two pretty cleanly once we actually get to the bin: Scrooge has no real issue with the kids going to the archives and no glimmer of their real intention, so the plots don't’ meet up again outside of when Louie’s literally crashes into Dewey and Webby’s for a second. There’s some thematic connections, cutaways and an intercut montage, but nothing outside of that. So as is tradition for me i’m covering them seperatly and since it’s both the reason why i’m covering this episode and our B-Plot, let’s start with the archives Webby and Dewey in The Mad Archivist of Scrooge McDuck!

Webby and Dewey head to the archive where we meet Quackfaster. In the comics she’s scrooges long suffering secretary, emphasis on suffering. He barely pays her, takes expenses out of her paycheck and she generally seems once minute away from a nervous breakdown at any given time. What i’m saying is the character and the “gag” have not aged well in any way shape or form so instead here she was revamped. Frank and Matt leaned on Scrooge’s love for adventure more than his greed at first, and had his thrill-seeking be his vice more. It does make sense as greed isn’t nearly as good as it was to people in the 40′s and especially the 80′s, but they eventually clearly realized they made it a bit too subtle, as it’s still an iconic part of the character and played it up a bit more in seasons 2 and 3, to the point two of his worst moments in backstory, both revealed in season 3, come from his greed. They found a nice ballance and I do think having his adventuring also be a vice was a nice change of  pace.  As such, they came up with the idea that he’d hire people who like him are exceptionally talented but also a bit reckless and unhinged. The kind of people most employers would unfairly shut the door on but Scrooge sees their true talent and worth and treats them with the respect they deserve. People who in most other works would be super villains, but here are kept from that by being given honest jobs for their talents and a boss who has no intention of ripping them off or undermining them. IT’s a great concept and I wish we’d saw more than two people hired with that in mind, but the two we got are great.

So with all this Quackfaster was reinvented with this idea in mind to someone entirely different but infinitely more entertaining: She’s now a ham of the highest order, not literally, and slightly unballanced. She also refuses to help Dewey until he completes some challenges for her, sorting out a code in the dewey decimel system

And in sorting the books to get to know the archives. Webby is all for it naturally as this is a dream for her: she’s likely tried to access the place for years and couldn’t as a non-relative, something Scrooge hopefully relaxes in the future, so a giant pile of books about adventuring, Scrooge (including an apparently 7 volumes on his favorite smells one of which Webby gives a happy “I knew it” upon finding out it was fresh baked cookies), and places he’s been, including a sly nod to Plain Awful. This is a hallmark of the show making smaller nods to the past incarnations without going into them or doing those adventures again and while I was at first disappointed those tales already happened in some form, I now get they simply wanted to tell NEW ONES, and were a big as fan of the olds ones as most of you reading this and myself. Though between you and me I was never a big fan of the square eggs story. Good idea just a weird and not all that funny execution. 

Dewey however has the patience of a coked up ferret who also took some shrooms and being Dewey tries simply demanding she tell him. Naturally yelling at the weird hammy lady intrusted to guard the private library of someone whose a certified badass.. is not a smart or correct move and Quackfaster decides if they can’t respect the archives they’ll become PART OF THE ARCHIVES and pulls out a crescent shaped sword to apparently murder them. 

So a chase ensues with the two trying to simply throw books at her, escape her and only narrowly doing so for a minute when Louie pops up being chased by a giant robot made by a smaller robot using a giant change machine. I love this show. 

Eventually their backed into a corner while Dewey defiantly demands info on his mom. And his impatience and anger is understandable: this is the first time in his ten or so year old life he’s had ANY chance of learning anything on her.. and he’s having to do various fetch quests. While he could use some tact, may not get him stabbed so much, his viewpoint is understandable. 

Thankfully it turns out Quackfaster was just doing a Mr.Miaygi and secretly testing them, having chased them to the book Dewey wanted, and said code she had them find earlier is the login for the vault. Granted it also has them put away some books (”How much of this is us just doing your job for you?” “About fiffttty perceeennnt”), but she works for scrooge. While he thankfully pays her a living wage here he still can’t be paying her much. Still they find their way to a secret vault and Dewey gets stabbed a bit to verify he is a mcduck.. and let into Scrooge’s secret room, full of treasures Della likely gathered. As I said, he DID put them aside somewhere, and likely just wanted them to cry over and donald didn’t fight it since the last thing he wanted was the boys learning their legacy. D

The telling part here though, despite accusations later.. is that Dewey’s first instinct upon finding this is  to tell his brothers.  Keep in mind Dewey’s all consuming need for attention and validiation, all of which he could possibly get and only have to share with Webby. He has every selfish reason for not telling them.. but he wants to. He knows they deserve to learn to. The only wrinkle is webby finding a note saying “Scrooge i’m taking the spear of selene, i’m sorry”. He decides to hide it for their sake right then and there. But while part of this as we’ll get into later in the week is him simply being afraid of what he’ll find personally.. it’s fair to NOT want to tell them. To try and protect them from the horrible truth whatever it may be. He has no way of knowing the betryal was nonexistant here and neither did we. It’s not the right course of action, awful truth or no they deserved to know too and both would say as much later, she’s their mom: good person or bad they know.. but like his uncles he’s not hiding this out of malice but because the truth might genuinely hurt them.. and as we’ll learn.. it will.. oh boy will it ever. But more on that next week and more on the arc itself later this week. What about the rest of the episode?

Louie in The Great Dime Chase! and Scrooge in The Boardroom Full of Heartless Assholes!

Winding back a few hours, Scrooge drags Louie up to his office, where the boy is genuinely impressed.. before naturally trying to take a swim in the money while Scrooge tries to tell him about his number one dime. Scrooge stops him before head injury occurs explaining that yes, even the money thing requires proper training: Louie would’ve just cracked his skull open and this would’ve either gotten really dark really fast or turned into a horrifying and hilarious child death version of weekend at bernies. It’s what Louie would’ve wanted. Scrooge can do it because he’s built up the muscle and resistance over time, strong enough and skilled enough to travel through the solid metal and dive into it. It’s a nice nod to life and times: While Scrooge didn’t necesarily train to swim in money, he bathed in it at first and when he needed to during an adventure discovered he could swim through it going from one barrel of his cash to another. So tweaking that slightly to an earned skill, and one Louie will have leanred by the end of the season, was a billiant move..and a way of silencing all those head injury jokes. 

But their soon interrupted by the board, who Scrooge dosen’t recall having a meeting with and likely pull this kind of shit all the time when they can get Scrooge. It makes even more sense after the Della reveal, as he likely has to be forced into dealing with the men who, while as far as he knew were trying to help him, still pulled him away from Della.. and in one case, had a shit eating grin about it. Seriously Bradford you smirked evilly about your nemesis not being able to rescue his daughter how do you NOT get that your the bad guy?

The meeting ends up being boring with Louie asleep and Scrooge almost there, as let’s face it most board meetings probably are, until Gyro barges in! It’s our first apperance of 2017 Gyro and a lot of people were upset by how much more of an ass he was. Me, while I like the kind and gentle original, like the more mad sciency version here and feel Jim Rash did a good job with it, and  I only really hate it when he’s around Fenton, and the show eventually addressed how fucked up that was in Season 3 after downplaying it in Season 2 by having them barely interact and have Gyro genuienly show some pride. Otherwise I like my insane prideful version even if I get why some don’t like it as it is nothing like the comics, but as we see with Donald not being a lot like the comics version isn’t a bad thing. 

IT’s one hell of a character establishing moment, as he barges in, is rude to everyone and has to read cue cards to properly intro his latest invention Little Bulb, Gyro’s most iconic invention whose made here to help people not do work. The Board is skeptical though as most of Gyro’s inventions have turned evil, a nice nod to the fact that most of Gyro’s robots in the original series, who are in fact on a list of previous inventions.. turned evil and tried to kill people. IT also shows his warmer side as he insists they aren’t evil just misunderstood, or at least half were anyway, and tries to cover for Little Bulb shaking his fist at them and doing a throat slitting gesture... which while Bradford plays dumb about what that means.. he’s worked in organized Villainy for at least 55 years. He knows what that gesture means. It’s Heron’s favorite. And even if he didn’t he’s also worked with Scrooge for around 30. It’s also Scrooge’s favorite. So it’s rejected though Scrooge encourages Gyro who vows they’ll understand one day and they’ll all pay. Really should save that for outside. 

Scrooge vouches for the board to Louie who questions such a slam dunk, pointing out he trusts their judgment.. mostly because he dosen’t know they’ve been embezzling from him to fund an evil spy orginzation the whole time but still, he usually trusts them. He would’ve found a way to fire them if he didn’t on the Della thing. But sometimes they overstep and they undermine that statment by suggesting cuts to the Bin’s budget, starting with Magical defenses “Do you know how many curses I have on my head?”. And props to the creators as they apparnetly had the whole Bombie idea in mind this far back, and as Bradford later shows towards the end of next season when he lures Louie into cutting it, he KNOWS where that money goes. He just was trying to feign ignorance to get Scrooge killed if he could. Clever bastard. 

So Louie goes to get a drink, and naturally scrooge’s drink machine in his office not only charges but requires an extra ten cents. Louie assumes the dime in his office is an emergency Dime only to walk in on Scrooge giving the full story. As you all likely know, it’s his number one dime, with the origin taken straight from life and times: He was a poor shoe shine, and he worked hard to clean off a ditchdigger’s muddy boots, working himself to the bone.. only to get an American dime which inspired him both to work harder and smarter than anyone and to go to America to seek his fourtune. There’s some extra steps in the original material, and another bit that the show would also adapt later that we’ll get to next week, but point is it’s his symbol of all his hard work.. that Louie just sent into the vending machine.  So said great chase insures as Louie follows the dime, as it’s emptied from the vending machine.. by a gull janitor we only see this season. And he’s a really likeable guy I wish we’d learned more. He then faces his and Charles Xavier’s greatest enemy THE STAIRS. There’s a runner about Louie having to constnatly run up and down the massive amount of stairs the bin has as someone else takes the elevator and by the climax it’s been taken out entirely. It’s pretty great.  So Louie’s seemingly screwed and instead looks up how to pick a lock on YouTube.. no really. That’s what he does. Frank outright mentioned this in an interview, pointing out they wanted the kids to act like a kid would.. and props to him that’s what a kid would do. Hell that’s what I would do if I were locked out of a place and time was of the essence. Either that or look up a step by step instruction on google. He then runs into Gyro though, and gets the idea to use LIttle Bulb, convinces Gyro he has money and would like to invest and just needs to borrow the little guy and Gyro is happy to agree to it. 

Naturally though, Louie’s laziness and a volatile machine who only likes one people just like his daddy, do not mix and Louie leaves sorting the coins to it while he watches Ottoman Empire, actually getting really sucked into it. IN fairness he did start with the Glomgold episode. Little Bulb meanwhile shows just how awesome he is by turning himself into a giant coni sorting mech by rewiring and reconfiguring the coin sorter.. and naturally given who made hi going mad with power. So while he did get the dime out.. he’s not horrifyingly obessed with chasing it and the real great dime chase begins. 

Back at the meeting Scrooge continues to debate the Buzzards who now want to cut staff, both of whom Scrooge rightfully defends. While Gyro is a bit unhinged, his inventions have likely made the company millions and saved them billions, and while Quackfaster is the same as we just saw, there’s a method to her madness and her laziness. And given Quackfaster works two additional jobs to afford a nice retirement, it’s clear that while he pays them decently he’s likely still not paying them gobs. With the power of hindsight i’ts very clear Bradford just wants to try if he can to eliminate two sources of chaos and backup for Scrooge and when Scrooge sarcastically suggests just getting rid of the bin, Bradford goes with it with a shit eating grin, but it’s very clear by that and Scrooge’s frustration this is a non starter, and Bradford’s likely doing it just because he frankly knows it’ll piss Scrooge off. 

So Louie runs for it working harder than he has in his whole life, with Gyro eventually trying to talk little bulb down, to no avail.. though we do get a nice moment of it registering him as father. Awwww. So the chase naturally eventually leads to the bin and Louie stuck in it, slowly swimming across, until Gyro gets to LIl Bulb, and realizes he’s in the wrong time of wattage and has literally gone mad with power and puts him back in his tiny old body fixing the problem. Gyro also crashed in with the bulb mech earlier, and while it disproves Scrooge’s point he’s stable.. he simply rolls with it and points out his staff is dangerously insane, and would likely swear vengeance on the Board if they were fired. And while he dosen’t say this part of it directly given Scrooge treats BOTH Quackfaster and Gyro exceptionally well, he knows they’ll know EXACTLY whose idea it was.. probably even tell them. So the board agrees to keep things as is to not die horribly as supervillains or not they have limits. 

So the day is one, Louie finds the dime, replaces it and passes out with Scrooge none the wiser. it also turns out the Dime isn’t even the real deal, to Louie’s frustration. But Scrooge is proud he clearly worked hard, and gives him the fake dime as his own number one dime, a nice setup for their bond and a nice showing that Louie really has the potential to be as rich as his uncle one day, and it’s clear by this setup there was a lot of potential here for an arc.. which is why we got one. More on that some other time. Louie accidently spends it while Gyro ends realizing if he put himself int he robot it wouldn’t go mad with power.. and thus Project Blatherskite is born. And we all know where this is going. 

Final Thoughts: All in all a decent episode. It has great pacing, some excellent world building, and some really good gags. While the series would do better episodes as it went, for an early episode helping set things up including Louie’s charcter arc, Gyro, Gizmoduck and the board as proper characters, it’s still very good and one of the series early standouts. 

Next Time on Della: Donald is forced to confront his adventuring past when he runs into his old sorta friend THE INCREDIBLE STORKULES, Scrooge is forced into games of the gods by their resident Douchebag Zeus, and Dewey is forced to confront his own fear of whatever it is his mom did. Confront this review later this week. 

Next Time on This Blog: It’s Lena’s Dark Night of the Soul as she and Webby head into “The Other Bin of Scrooge McDuck!”

A, B, R, U, Y from the fanfic ask list please 🥰😘

Thank you so much for asking @adiehardfan. Here we go!

A: Out of the fanfics I have written, my favorite one is not from the OH fandom, but from the Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan fandom on AO3. Honestly, it's not even properly based on the movie, or the main ships, it's more like an original work with a link to SMZS. It's 21 chapter long, and still ongoing. Just in case you're wondering why it is so close to my heart, I'm attaching it's summary. Read it, you'll get your answer.

Next question!

B: The first fandom I both read in and wrote for is Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan.

R: I've read a lot of Agatha Christie and Shakespeare growing up. Though my writing style is obviously nothing similar to theirs', I have developed my love for literature from their works. Currently, I think my style is a bit similar to Savi Sharma, which is great because I admire her work. I'm also inspired by Dreamer, who's an excellent fanfic writer, and I hope she gets published soon!

U: I would LOVE to write Aurora Emery×MC from OH, and I probably will soon. I'm just tryna decide if I should use the same MC or create a different one.

Y: Well... I'm very difficult to please when it comes to my own writing, and NOTHING ever seems good enough. So when I genuinely like something I've written, I don't care if there's enough response, or if it becomes "popular". I know it's good. But me liking what I write rarely happens, so when no one responds I'm usually like duh 🙄 of course they wouldn't. You suck.

Was that too much of a bummer? I'm sorry sweethearts, I'm just being honest. But I'll try to be more cheerful next time. Good day <3.
