This is the first and only fic that is exclusively Empires SMP related. Specifically season 2, which is my favorite season. Probably because it was the one I ended up watching live. Anyway, when I saw western on the list of prompts, I had to bring back Tumble Town and the Sheriff for it.

Also, not enough people talk about the G/t potential for season 2 of Empires? I mean, canonically Joel was an 11 foot tall god and Jimmy was shrunk down using a special lore potion. Why did I not do more things with this? Anyway, both of those things are relevant to this fic.

I hope you guys enjoy!

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

 Joel flew over Tumble Town, trying to see if he could spot the tiny sheriff. Normally, from this height, it would be impossible to see someone that small, but thanks to the power of Lore, Joel’s eyesight was better than the average players.

 As he flew over the town, he couldn’t help but think of how well it was coming together. Jimmy was actually becoming a pretty decent builder and that was seen in every new build he made. Joel would go so far as to say he was even proud of him.

 He shook his head, now was not the time to be thinking about that though. The reason he was here, looking for Jimmy in the first place was because he wasn’t answering his messages. From anybody. It wasn’t just Joel who had tried but Lizzie, Gem, Scott, Fwhip…everyone on the server had tried to contact the man but no one had received anything back.

 So, after days of this, Joel finally took it upon himself to find Jimmy and figure out what was going on.

 He landed in the center of the crater, nearby the first building Jimmy had built here. This was where he usually stayed if he was in. He crouched down, still in his godly 11 foot form, and knocked on the door.

 Silence.

 Joel frowned. “Jimmy, it’s Joel. I came by because you haven’t been messaging anyone back.” Joel called into the building. He waited for a few seconds but still nothing. “Come on Jimmy, I know you’re in there!” He didn’t. “If you don’t come out and talk to me, I’ll break your door down.”

 After nothing again, Joel reared back with the intent to break the door when his comm dinged. He paused and grabbed it, looking at what had come through. Surprisingly, it was from Jimmy.

[SolidarityGaming whispers to you: Leave me alone Joel.]

 Joel frowned. Well that was out of character. If anything, he was at least expecting an exclamation point at the end. Something seemed off.

 At least he knew Jimmy really was in there though.

 “I’m not leaving until you come out and talk to me!” Joel exclaimed. “And I’m still very willing to break your door down.” He reared back again only for the door to suddenly swing open.

 Joel froze and looked down. Jimmy was about a foot tall thanks to the lore magic Joel had splashed on him. But with Joel himself being 11 feet tall, the size difference was even more noticeable between the two of them. Jimmy could comfortably fit in his palm if he really wanted to. Which, by the way Jimmy was glaring at him, he probably didn’t.

 That was the other thing. Joel has seen Jimmy annoyed and angry multiple times. That was their whole bit this season. But that’s all it was. A bit. Joel knew Jimmy was never really angry with him and Jimmy knew Joel didn’t really mean it.

 At least, that’s what he had thought.

 But looking down at Jimmy now, he was starting to question it. He had never seen such a genuinely angry and pained look on the sheriff’s face before.

 Joel’s face softened. “Jimmy, I-”

 “I told you to leave me alone!” Jimmy yelled, cutting him off. “I don’t-I don’t want to see you or anybody else, okay?! I just need to be alone right now.” Jimmy turned around and tried to go back inside.

 Joel, panicking at how Jimmy was acting, stopped him by reaching down and grabbing him.

 “Hey! Let go!” Jimmy yelled, and Joel’s heart dropped at the genuine distress in his voice.

 Joel moved away from the house, standing to his full height and holding Jimmy carefully in his hand, lifting him up a bit more to see him better. Jimmy was struggling against his grip, trying to free himself. But it was fruitless and Joel’s hands didn’t so much as budge. 

 “Jimmy, it’s just me. Please just talk to me or something! We’re all worried about you.” Joel said, trying to calm the tiny sheriff down. 

 Jimmy paused in his struggles and looked down, not making eye contact with Joel. “...Are you really?” Jimmy asked, a biting tone to his words which caught Joel off guard.

 “What? Of course! We’re your friends.” Joel exclaimed, looking at Jimmy still wrapped up in his hand. He looked a lot more vulnerable than Joel had ever seen him like this.

 Finally, Jimmy looked up and met his eyes and Joel was surprised, and a bit horrified, to see tears there. “...Are you really?” Jimmy repeated, this time his tone was defeated and sad, no hint of any bite left.

 Joel felt his heart break a little.

 “Of course we are. Jimmy, you’re one of my best friends.” Joel said, his voice going quiet. Joel licked his dried lips. “Is this…is this because of the bit we’ve been doing? I don’t actually hate you. Nobody does!”

 Jimmy was silent for a long moment. “...I-I know it’s a bit. But lately it’s just seemed like…too real?” Jimmy shook his head and turned away, face now hot. “This is why I needed some time to be alone…”

 “Jimmy.” Joel said and opened his hand so he was now cupping Jimmy in both hands before bringing him up to eye level. Jimmy looked him in the eye, a bit surprised at his tone. “I’m so sorry I didn’t see you hurting sooner. We can stop the bit and I can grow you back to normal.”

 Jimmy’s eyes widened and then, shockingly, he shook his head. “No, no! The bit is funny and being small like this isn’t too bad.”

 Joel’s eyes narrowed. “Jimmy, the bit is the whole reason you think we hate you.”

 “I…” Jimmy trailed off. “But the viewers-”

 Joel shook his head. “Your mental health comes first, Jim.” Joel thought for a moment. “Maybe we can progress the bit. To where we come to an understanding and become friends? And if you don’t mind being small too much we can keep that bit going?” Joel suggested, trying to make this work.

 Jimmy thought about it, going over the details in his head. “I…I guess that would work.” He looked up once more to meet Joel’s eyes. “Sorry, I just…It was really getting to me for some reason this season.”

 Joel’s eyes softened. “You don’t have to be sorry. I think some of us do take it too far sometimes. I…take it too far sometimes.” Joel admitted feeling guilty for causing Jimmy this much pain. “But please, next time just say something? You had us all worried when you weren’t answering our messages or coming out of Tumble Town.”

 Jimmy hesitated briefly but nodded. “I’ll…I’ll try.”

 Joel nodded, that was all he could ask of him. And now Joel knew to do better as well. He’d have to tell the others eventually but that could wait for later. “Now come on. It’s been too long since I’ve hung out with my best bud. How about a movie night back at my place?”

 Jimmy’s eyes widened and for the first time since coming here, Jimmy smiled. “Yeah, I’d like that.”

 Joel grinned. “Alright, then hang on.”

 Jimmy’s face turned to confusion. “Wait, what-?

 Before Jimmy could finish, Joel cupped him closer to his chest and took off using his wings. Jimmy let out a small shriek. “Joel!” Jimmy yelled but it was said playfully and with a slight laugh behind it. Joel grinned and continued back towards Stratos.

 They were going to be okay.

please pretend you didn’t see the previous version of this drawing

Just in case anyone wondered exactly how Shinichi missed his personal encounter with aptx4869.

On one hand, now Kaito has to *shudder* pretend he likes a detective, because he has to keep consistency. On the other hand, now he's Ran's favorite, which gives Shinichi endless grief.

(Text in the drawing transcripted under the read more!)

Shinichi, desperately trying to shake Kaito off before Ran can catch up and give him hell for ditching her: C'mon, I'll be right back! So be a good boy and stay with Ran-neechan, okay?

Kaito, wobbly, about to make full use of the tantrum card bc he's not letting this teenager he just met chase after two shady guys and get himself killed like a DUMBASS: But I want to go with you...

Hide & Seek references compendium

I put so many little easter eggs and hidden things in my Hide and Seek fic, so here is my little ongoing list of references I purposefully put in the fic for those of you who like this kind of thing idk man

Chapter 1, Disney's Hercules: "Hey, Mack! Ya wanna buy a sundial?" Disney's Jungle Cruise: “Trader Sam’s! Come shop at Trader Sam’s! He’ll give you a great deal on shrunken heads! Two of his heads for one of yours!” the Holmes Hotel, Hugh's Pies is a reference to Nickelodeon's Jimmy Neutron series, Lilo's Stitches and Embroidery is a nod to Disney's Lilo and Stitch, "Crusty the Crab" is a nod to Spongebob Squarepants, Chell's Portal Stop is a reference to the game series Portal, and the final scene is from the ROTTMNT episode "Hidden City's Most Wanted".

Though this is not technically a reference or Easter egg, I wanted to add this note… I made a point of referring to Splinter as Lou Jitsu when he was mad or angry or selfish, and as Hamato Yoshi when he was scared or sad.

Chapter 2, Leo's determination to have Raph call him "the world's greatest ninja" is a reference to the film, Leo's quote "Land safely!" is taken from the episode "Mystic Mayhem" as well as the episode "The Evil League of Mutants", Leo's complaining to be leader is a nod to his future role, Raph referring to his father as a "sewer monster" is a reference to the episode "Man vs. Sewer", Splinter has a flashback from the episode "Goyles, Goyles, Goyles" and the line "OW! Why, you little--!" is also taken from that same episode.

Chapter 3, Mikey's dream is obviously a nod to all that he will do in the future.

Chapter 4, The origin of Lace Face from the episode "Man vs. Sewer".

Chapter 5, Phineas and Ferb "Escape from Phineas Tower": "That's some mole!" The line "Raph! Your enormous body is crushing me!!” is a reference to Disney's Lilo and Stitch, "sweater town" is a reference to the Gravity Falls episode "The Hand that Rocks the Mabel", the line "I didn't want to believe it, but... *sigh* science." is taken directly from the ROTTMNT film as well as a moment when Leo mentions that Donnie was wrong, Donnie uses two really's, a reference from the episode "Breaking Purple", Donnie gives Leo the comic seen in the episode "Jupiter Jim Ahoy!"

Chapter 6, Splinter's tv flips through several channels which include clips from media. These include a Thomas Sanders vine with "Weatherman Al", the quote "My leg!" from Spongebob Squarepants, part of the Fairly Odd Parents' theme song, Mrs. Cuddles' catchphrase "Let's be friends forever!", "I've got bad feeling about this" is a quote from Star Wars, the fake show about "Goosey" is an easter egg to @gooeseyleo and her Gooseyleo series. When Leo goes onstage, he does "a few improvised dance moves", which is a nod to Ben Schwartz and some dance moves he did in the Netflix improv comedy special "Middleditch and Schwartz”. The Lou Jitsu play the boys perform is a parody of the Godzilla franchise and the Pacific Rim films. Donnie's line "I strive for accuracy" is a reference to @sleepis4theweak 's comic (which I think about every gosh darn day), Horsebot-3000 and Splinter's line "I liked Horsebot-3000" are references to the show Community, season 3 episode 7: "Studies in Modern Movement".

Chapter 7, in the illustration Leo and Donnie are wearing Transformer and Decepticon t-shirts, respectively, and in the background you can see spray paint that spells out "Atomic Lass", as well as a drawing of the turtles' weapons.

Chapter 8, a young BEBOP AND ROCKSTEADY make an appearance, as does a very young Harvey Hokum from the ROTTMNT comics. When Bebop tries to sell Leo, he calls him “Shelly”, a reference to my pet turtle of the same name. In the illustration you can see a goldfish on the shelf, which is meant to be Piebald.

Chapter 9, How It's Made, APRIL O'NEIIIIILLLL, Harvey Hokum, Warren Stone and Kendra are referenced, "Operation Blue Suede Shoes" contains the title of a song, a reference to how in the show there are several similar code-names used for the characters ("Purple Rain" for Donnie, "Yellow Submarine" for April, etc.) Leo says that Mikey has empathy amplified, a reference to the fanfiction of the same name written by @filsa-mek on AO3.

Chapter 10, the boys watch "Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit". Leo promises to never leave Raphael alone and to always find him. Raph offers several scenarios that actually happen in the future where Leo searches for Raph - sewer monsters (a reference to the episode Man Vs. Sewer), getting captured by bad guys (the episode Bug Busters), and aliens attacking (the events of the film). The chapter as a whole is also based off of a few sketches I made - one of which shows the boys watching the film with Splinter, and one where Raph has a bad dream and wakes up to seeing he hurt Leo, who offers to help and gets the bros together for a turtle pile.

Chapter 11, the episode is heavily inspired by an episode of the audio drama series Adventures in Odyssey, specifically the episode "Mandy's Debut". The line "Wow, the shortcake of death" is a reference taken from said same episode! During Leo's flashback, a reference to the meme "She knocked that smug look off my face, but fourtunately I had a smaller smug look underneath" when Leo takes off his sunglasses to reveal a cooler pair of sunglasses underneath. Leo and Raph make a note to the fact that Leo is not the eldest in this universe.

Chapter 12, Raph, Leo, and Mikey teach April a game they play in the episode "Late Fee". When using sign language, Donnie tells Leo to "Stop yelling at me", which is inspired by a moment in Spy Kids 4. April introduces Raph to Ghostbear's starting career. Mikey repeats a line from the episode "Bug Busters", which is "Remind me not to ask questions anymore." Mikey uses the phrase "hydrate or die-drate", which is taken from a meme but is also something I say constantly as well. When in the Hidden City, Splinter hears people calling out to customers, one uses the lyrics to the Fairly Odd Parents' theme song, another is selling Mary Poppins' umbrella, a third is selling the three mystery journals from Gravity Falls, the fourth is selling Cinderella's glass slippers, and the last one is selling the Stanley Parable bucket of reassurance. Ochimizu is a Japanese mythical elixir of eternal life. The introduction and origins of Loathsome Leonard and the Mud Dogs. Malicious Mickey uses the "creepy doctor" line from "Stuck on You".

Chapter 13, Donnie delirium is directly based off of my own experiences with delirium, as well as his and Leo's conversation about whether or not Leo would miss him when he dies (which was an actual conversation I had with my mother when I was sick with croup as a little girl). The second half of that conversation was adapted from a scrapped fic called "The Kids Are All Dying". Donnie references the song "Big Yellow Taxi". The seven-tailed fox comes from Japanese folklore, but specifically this one was a reference to Naruto! Mikey sings the first line of the "Wonderfilled" song by Owl City. The secret ingredient being a discontinued soda was inspired by the ending of the musical "Be More Chill". The toad yokai becomes Heinous Green.

Short story, in the illustration you can see several signatures and sketches on Leo's cast, such as Raph signing "Mad Dawgs" and Mikey drawing his stickers. On the wall behind Leo is an eye exam that has the words "RISE" and "PHOEBE" on it. There's also a computer monitor in the back with Leo's vitals on it, as well as a notification about the trackers, and a list of all Hamatos Donnie tagged.

I will update more when I post new chapters... ;)

Sometimes tango finds jimmy sleeping in the flowers in secret life after he turns red. Something about the pink calms jim down (reminds him of lizzie) so tango just lets him sleep there in the sun. Tango is very amused to find jimmy doing the same thing in wildlife shrunken down to sit in the trees, even with lizzie right there also taking a nap beside him after their spooky adventure. He has to rescue them cause scar cant climb up to save them when they wake up full size and got stuck.

ADORABLE! I also had this idea where tango who got turned small hides in Jimmy hair way too happy and hissing like a gremlin.

Despite all the pitfalls on the long journey to statehood, on May 11, 1949, the UN General Assembly, by the requisite two-thirds majority, approved the application to admit Israel to the UN by General Assembly Resolution 273. We should consider, too, aside from the legal documentation we are examining here, that Israel is replete with stories, memorial scriptures and artifacts from pre-Biblical times and possesses a calendar that dates to 5783. Israel’s existence is not only official but immemorial.

Following Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War and its acquisition of territory, anti-Zionists demanded that Israel return to its shrunken 1967 borders, proclaiming their opposition to “the immoral and impractical policies that deny Palestinians equal rights,” calling for an end to “the siege on Gaza” and for “a permanent ceasefire,” and putting the onus on Israel to comply. Jimmy Carter’s mendacious book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" is worth examining in some detail. Among the weave of falsehoods that bind its pages, we find that UN Resolution 242 demands that Israel return to Palestinians all land captured in the 1967 war.  

This is utter fiction. Carter and his ideological descendants have probably never heard of or paid much attention to Eugene Rostow, former U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs and one of the leading architects of UN Resolution 242. Rostow explained in The New Republic for Oct. 21, 1991, that the Resolution allows Israel to administer its conquered territories until a just and lasting peace in the Middle East is achieved and that “the Jews have the same right to settle there as they have to settle in Haifa.” 

Further, no Palestinian leader and few Western pundits have acknowledged the raw fact that there are no 1967 borders to which Israel is required to return. In fact, there are only armistice lines that have no bearing on future negotiations to determine final borders. The late Hugh Foot, Lord Caradon, formerly Britain’s ambassador to the United Nations and, along with Rostow, one of the drafters of Resolution 242, stated in the Beirut Daily Star on June 12, 1974, that “It would have been wrong to demand that Israel return to its positions of June 4, 1967, because those positions were undesirable and artificial.” 

Lord Caradon’s account of the meaning and history of the Resolution is supported by the remaining two framers, Arthur Goldberg and Baron George-Brown, who are equally explicit in asserting its original intention. Resolution 242 is a pro-Israel and not, as constantly misreported, a pro-Palestinian article. Yet in the interests of peace, Israel has fruitlessly surrendered much of its war gains in Gaza and the West Bank, creating unnecessary misery for itself.  

It follows that Israel’s enemies, and antisemites in general, are either credulous or savage or both. Generally speaking, their leaders are political operators with gelatinous souls, concerned mainly for their personal safety and privilege and cathected on the Islamic voting bloc. Moreover, far too many ordinary citizens are unable to distinguish between a forgery (e.g., "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion") and a scrupulous work of historical documentation (e.g., the aforementioned "From Time Immemorial"). They are culpably deaf and blind, as Richard Ibrahim indicates, to the purport of an ISIS audio recording titled And Kill Them Wherever You Find Them (Koran 9:5) that pronounces the jihadist worldview of Islam: “The battle with the Jews is a religious one and not a national or populist one! It is not a battle for land, soil, or borders! In fact, it is a war that is legitimized by the Book and the Sunnah.”

Title for a fake fic hmmm… I’ve got a idea

TANGO NO! PUT HIM DOWN!

-🍄

[For the Fake Fic Title ask game]

I hope you know that I had two different ideas for this, one of which featured Protective/PissedOff!Tango, and I opted for the sillier version because it fit the title so much better lmao

~ ~ ~

"Tango NO! Put him down!"

It's not Tango's fault he hasn't been around Tumble Town much, not really. What can he say? When he gets into a redstone project, he really gets into a redstone project, and he knows that Jimmy knows that. But he can't help but think that maybe he should've come around a bit more often...if only so he could have more context for why his soulmate is currently no taller than his boots. Frankly, it's the most adorable thing he's seen in his life. (And Jimmy doesn't quite have the heart to tell him to stop when Tango starts carrying his tiny rancher around everywhere he goes.) OR: Scar tries to get Tango to stop carrying around the shrunken Sheriff, but his words go in one ear and out the other. Not that Jimmy really minds all that much when it's Tango.

The more i watched Empires season 2 the more i just got my annoyed by stuff. The constant use of the word lore to make up for the fact that Joel didn't take the story seriously so why should anyone else take it seriously. i don't wanna watch Joel half ass a storyline while other characters take it so seriously

The Toy storyline that should have been a one off but because of Joel made it insufferable to watch anything with Jimmy in it cause there would inevitably be that dumb joke in it. Jimmy has a whole western theme going on and it gets ruined because of one overblown joke when i wanted to see him be an actual cowboy and be taken seriously and not be shrunken down to make the toy thing work.

All The Ways I Want You

The hills are full of secrets, owls watch by night Down in town the bars are full and the drunks are pickin' fights These are things I know, but the facts are filtered through All the ways that I want you, all the ways I want you

2:19 freight train moaning somewhere near I see you in the distance, but I can't get there from here Hard to believe it's happening, but my whole world's shrunken to All the ways I want you, all the ways I want you

Stars look down and laugh at me, I ought to take a bow Don't have to tell them life's hard sometimes, there's one fallin' now Nobody's here beside me I can talk about it to All the ways I want you, all the ways I want you

All the ways I want you All the ways I want you

[rillette]

Sorry, last few days were crazy. Back to the MotW summaries.

So basically, in this session Grome, the groundskeeper said he had business to take care of in the basement, not to bother him, these are the things he usually does he'd need someone else to do, and then to Tabitha "If I'm not out by the end of the movie. Evacuate the theatre."

So the list of things were usual shit like "lawn, bathrooms, check boilers". When Malachi went to cut grass though he immediately had tiny men yelling at him about breaking the treaty and how this meant war. Jimmy, who spent the most time with Grome, had to figure out what was wrong about what was happening. He remembers Grome used to measure grass before cutting it, and suspects we did, in fact, break a treaty. They find a magical bush and go into it, becoming tiny like the people yelling at them.

They find out they're now at the Council of the Greencaps, who explain that the Theatre was built by the gnomes on Greencap land, under certain conditions, including that, as Greencaps gain health and magic through plant growth, and conversely, lose it as plants are hurt, the grass could only be cut a certain amount. They mention a "Mr. Knox" (The theatre is named the Edward Knox Theatre). Negotiations go poorly and Malachi uses a move that lets him "run away from danger, into a different, but equally bad situation". He ends up in the bathroom, still shrunken, and discovers a budding community of seamonkeys. Thed later does the bathroom and rolled high enough to, without ever learning they existed, slaughter them.

Malachi gets Jimmy to take him back to the bush where they summon a fairy, and use the empty whitecap from the redcap mystery to help the Greencaps recover their magic.

Then Jimmy goes to check on the boilers and discovers another blue guy flying around it, trying to lower the pressure, saying something bad is happening in the basement. He introduced himself as Andy the Anti-Gremlin. Jimmy befriends him, and the movie ends. They evacuate the theatre of people, then tell the Greencaps and Andy who also leave. The party asks themselves if they should leave. Grome's still down there. Someone says

"Well. Then I guess we haven't finished evacuating."

Thed puts his hand on the doorknob to the basement.

End session

WOAHHHH THIS RIPS!!! i love that theres like whole micro ecosystems that only the groundskeeper knew about!! super excited to see what happens next 👀

[bluiex]

After reading a shit ton of... Totally normal fanfiction for an hour straight, I've come to the head canon that Jimmy absolutely hates being called a toy, as he always has, but not for the same reasons. Originally, he hated being called a toy because people associated him with woody, plus the fact that he looked like an off brand one when they'd shrunken him. But... Cue one night at a party with the empires crew where he was drunk after 5 bottles of alcohol, Joel taking him back home, equally drunk, and a one night stand where he was fucked until he saw stars and Joel repeatedly calling him a toy that more than provided to reaching his... Y'know. So now whenever people call him a toy he isn't mad... Quite the opposite, actually.

—🎭

I-- I want that as a fic- so bad- oh my gods

[overthinkingtaleblr]

omg thank you for answering. i thought it got lost but i know sometimes it just takes a bit lol. :,)

i thought about it a bit more, and i have another branch of the au/hc/whatever the hell this is.

jimmy, when hes possessing ghost, has red eyes that match his form when hes outside of ghosts body. gavin knows when jimmys possessing ghost, however toast just sees ghost being murderous and goes "ah... hes overly stressed again... perhaps he needs his calming tea ^-^"

when they DO get together, gavin and jimmy agree that itd be kinda weird if they kissed while jimmy was inhabiting ghosts body, so they just have to deal with gavin only feeling a weird pressure on his lips when jimmy kisses him. (like jello...)

also, toast and ghost decide one day to check out an old abandoned house in the middle of nowhere, and... ghost breaks down, because thats where he used to live. yknow... gregory casket. jimmy, instead of immediately possessing him, just... watches. he evaluates some things.

and realizes his demonic urge to kill and destroy has faded. just a tiny bit. hes become... more human. it disgusts him.

(ofc they calm ghost down and ghost comments on how he didnt black out that time. jimmy feels bad about himself because!! hes not supposed to feel sympathy or compassion!!! let alone love!!! ew!! domesticity is gross!! bleh!!)

he complains to gavin about it and they discover that ever since gavin and him have been hanging out more and more, jimmy's power has been... not shrunken, per say, just redirected.

it makes him feel vulnerable.

he lashes out. possesses ghost more often and kills meaningless people with an anger hes only felt once before. it all happens within a week, and he realizes something. it isnt ONLY anger.

its grief.

grief over losing his ability to blindly kill. grief over losing his murderous tendencies. grief over gaining COMPASSION and HUMANITY. grief over falling in love for the first time.

of course he grieves. hes been a serial killer for so long, it makes sense to mourn the changes hes experienced. but at the same time, hed never change a thing.

he goes back to ghosts home in ghosts body, covered in multiple peoples blood. (hes not sure how he got here, but it infuriates him that he can just automatically find it no matter how far)

toast is there, fussing over the host's injuries (since when did ghost get that cut? he... should be more careful) and jimmy... jimmy exits the body, and sobs.

he watches the love toast feels for ghost, and promises one thing to himself: while he cant guarentee he'll never kill again, he can make himself human... for gavin, toast and ghost.

he just needs to figure out how to make himself a host, so that he doesnt hurt the man hes attached himself to (in more ways than one) he WANTS to be apart of humanity. he realizes hes hugging his host when he opens his eyes again, and realizes hes been subtly seeing ghost as his... well, as his brother. it hurts, and hes angry at that conclusion, but hes too tired to deny it. he falls asleep outside of ghosts body for the first time, and finally feels human.

so yeah idk how it sorta turned into a fanfic buuuut i think i like the concept :D if theres any spelling mistakes,,, no theres not,,,, and if its kindaaa ooc then uhm. hmm. well i havent watched vt in atleast 2 years so theres bound to be some mistakes :P

This AU has really become a story and a half! Maybe you could make it into a fic? It sounds like there’s still more that can happen next! ^^

Dw too much about being OOC, I think a fun thing with the medium is that canon is flexible. Plus, you have development from A to B, so I don’t think it’s too inane a concept! Jimmy reconsidering the murder thing and actually feeling is an interesting concept and a good way to defang him as a monster— and admittedly id be lying if i said i haven’t had characters grow as people through introspection in concepts b4 ^^

[stealingyourbones]

List of powers Jimmy Olsen has gotten + fun transformations (these are copied straight up from the Jimmy Olsen fandom wiki besides the last two)

Giant Turtle Boy: One of Jimmy's most frequently cited transformations was that of his turning into a giant turtle boy.

Elastic Lad - As Elastic Lad, Jimmy (by serum or by alien virus) could sometimes stretch himself, akin to Elongated Man or Plastic Man.

Flamebird- This is the name he took as a costumed superhero, with Superman disguised as Nightwing, in the shrunken Kryptonian city of Kandor. These names were inspired by two native Kryptonian birds, the nightwing and the flamebird, but the relationship between Nightwing and Flamebird intentionally paralleled the crime-fighting team Batman (a night-winged creature) and Robin (a flame-colored bird).

Speed Demon - In 1956, a month before the debut of Barry Allen as the new Flash, Jimmy drank a potion produced by a Professor Claude and briefly gained super-speed.

Radioactive - After being exposed to a radioactive substance, Jimmy began to irradiate everything in his presence.

Gorilla - When Jimmy switched minds with a gorilla in, he went about his reporting duties as a gorilla in Jimmy's clothes. (lol yes this is a transformation not a power. I kept it in bc it’s funny)

Monstrous beard growth - The machinations of the sinister Beard Band cause Jimmy to grow an immense beard. (Technically a power???)

Alien-form - Aliens transformed Jimmy into a telepathic Jovian for a week. Fortunately, this turned out to be a Jovian week ... which is much shorter than an Earth week (about 70 hours = slightly less than three days.)

Wolf-Man - In the vein of the popular Michael Landon 1950s film I Was a Teenage Werewolf, Jimmy found himself transformed into a werewolf.

Viking - Jimmy put on Viking armor and mistakenly thought he'd been transported 1000 years backward in time.

Doomsday - Also in All Star Superman, Jimmy takes a serum and becomes a version of Superman's foe Doomsday. (Doomsday is the bad guy that killed Superman)

A genie

A six-armed man

A fire-breather

A water-breather

A human porcupine

In a comic I just read the F plot he becomes a giant flaming uncontrollable monster and water monster.

4th dimensional Imp. Mr. Mxyzptlk gave Jimmy Olsen his powers and 4th dimensional status temporarily. This gives the person reality warping abilities and a liking to hijinks.

Out of all of the people The Ghost King Phantom expected to relate to, it definitely wasn’t the scrawny red headed photographer of the Daily Planet. Jimmy Olsen has gotten so many temporary superpowers over his time being Superman’s friend. Hell, he once gained a 4th dimensional being’s reality warping abilities when he was given said dimensional being’s powers during a fight. Sure there’s a dozen or so heroes with the same amount of powers he has, but none as suddenly granted to them as a all powerful god that can relate to a teenager.

This is the image for the person with a football pushing over the person trying to stop them and it is Obama we should go over his son Arnie. It is about Arcadia and they're put in there on purpose to speak to that. And someone very evil is putting people in there and it is Tommy f and Tommy Allen is taking the credit because he's stupid and gets killed for it just like Trump does for his deeds and Tommy f is moving Trump's brain from body to body clan to clan including Max and is starting a war now between them and he will be decimated they should have been. But this is an odd thing and the Sun keeps on saying it if this madman got these computers he would have done something stupid with them and he is no savvy or couse but really it's hard to say cuz he has a plan but we sort of can't really help our son figure out if they're around or not because nobody wants to know and the key is this museum if they're here odds are they didn't do too well afterwards like Preston is sick and not very sharp he's still Smart in some ways but needs the stuff cleaned out of him and it takes a while and he saw him in Los Angeles in 2006 and helps free him with gilene. She remembers what she saw doesn't remember if this other stuff at all and she sort of gets it it's about time and whether it's sent back or not. And our son says it you don't need to capture them to find all the stuff and take off with it like Jason does and it's kind of proof in a serum and you also don't need their information to build the ships that he did it's information that others have but their information is wicked. We know when Billy z does forever guys forever and he's killed three times by Jason the final time is on the roof with the lawyers firm where he was screwing around their son Non-Stop and it's all sacrilege and it's all ridiculous and some regular folks are there they say but they're nuts and he's completely incinerated along with the lawyer Tower and we needed that to happen but really not empty but still a bunch of crazy lawyers went there and these lawyers are nuts they don't have any case at all and then all these little babies running around with stupid things in their hands like this idiot Trump and they die rapidly. So you're wondering like his let the timeline is and Arnie was acting sick and tired and his body was weak but it looked like this and they look a little big he looks normal size like our sun size and he looks huge cuz that football was a big one it was bigger than normal that's what they started out using and it's probably about 30% larger than a normal football and in his hand it looks small and Arnie is the size of our son that just emaciated a little still he didn't like to have that much muscle in this way of moving around it made it hard to breathe sometimes and it's pressure on your heart it's true too so here we have it it's a question cuz you could have shrunken down and Jimmy could have. And people think that Paul notice was shot as a usama bin laden.

It was not the time when Preston was in there not remember seeing these then I fly around and stuff and these would be amazing absolutely amazing and would start a war and I think that's is what edge of Tomorrow is about the question is who the hell would capture them and why would they be brought there and it looks like Tommy f will grab them it doesn't make any sense now what our friend here said makes sense they were grabbed by Tommy f and put in The matrix and found by trump who gets captured. And people go in down the islands and they find them and they can't keep them there are getting slaughtered probably and they move them to Amsterdam where he thought it was which is weird it looked at the building and he kind of knew it because he went there and people trying to get him drugs it was probably Tommy Allen who failed and he's a loser that's an idiot have you ever seen him on drugs okay so you know what happens you can get f***** up. The soda makes sense but really it could be Tommy f but it doesn't make any sense from the fact that they're released but really he's going around fighting their stuff opening it up and doing it and I'll tell you what for Tommy have to keep them from escaping it's amazing Ken says.

So we have a lot of work to do. I mean it too but he's trying to figure this out and nobody will help him and finally someone is alone beat on subjected and has nothing is telling him and this is pitiful and it's important to you idiots although you think it's not it really is they're evil too I guess you'll be threatened by these mega computers that you say you have d****** Trump I'm going to have you killed for your dumb mouth that's his head s*** his way he was dealing with a newbie tummy f. Is there a pain in the ass just clan ours and his there's such a f****** pain in the ass. And Harley-Davidson was built by us and they're running around on them test driving them sooner we care too much about that you don't care about hard knock or pagliano they don't care about a whole bunch of stuff and started talking about one topic and something happened the computers went nuts and it's kind of like Chevy and Ford they're going nuts about that and still are and we have to make these things and they know that too and it won't lay off it so now they get pointed out like every other sorry sack of s*** that they got rid of. And we are going to call it a night pretty soon but this is what he's been trying to figure out if people bother him about. So my husband says it's been a lot of fun watching you guys tie your hands together and kick each other in the ass and the nuts and other stuff but really he's kind of sick of you sick of your routine which is planned as if I was sitting there thinking about this one thing to say I don't know Coleman and Briggs & Stratton that's what it is and we can't pry it away from this complete moron in any way you keep saying it's his it's not it's my husband's design and the Coleman's mine and my motor sounds much better than his it says it's on purpose and he didn't have a blowout made the motor after him. And it's almost positive he did it for that purpose and I did it for mine it is another reason it could be cuz he's right there that's a reactions are not right even to Coleman and she's missing and he's a loser but really they lost I think and he's not a loser but the reactions kind of don't fit what we're about and what they're about and they would try and run a parallel and have us run it and actually it's one of their dreams and have us in one of their companies in some way and the big way would be awesome for them and Ken says it out loud so I'll leave you with that I think my husband's right and Jason is Jason from Jason and the Argonauts and he deserves respect for a level of basic curiosity that the rest of you get rid of the second you get hit in any way almost

western duo? 🥺

(scar and jimmy)

[For the Shipping Bingo Ask Game]

Wha- HOW DID I MISS THIS??? Okay so...SO. Western Duo. Scar and Jimmy. VERY fun combo :3

I can't say I ship it on a romantic level (I'm too loyal to Ranchers during the crossover for that lmao). BUT I do like them as a combo. Scar is wholesome chaos, and he often is a wonderful friend to Jimmy in the crossover. I will say this: the scenes where Scar tries to get Jimmy to just...roll with the punches and take the positive side of being compared to Woody into account? It's very sweet, and quite heartfelt despite how silly it is. Jimmy even takes the time to listen. But I also sometimes wish Jimmy had someone on his side completely, because a part of me always hurts a bit knowing he had to put up with those jokes at all when he (as a character) clearly didn't like them.

Coming from Scar, a Disney fan at heart and a good friend, his comments about Sheriff Woody were ENTIRELY supportive and genuine. But I also wish Jimmy had someone in his corner speaking up against the toy bit entirely rather than trying to get Jimmy to accept it. (And Scar laughed and poked fun at Jimmy's shrunken state even when it canonically upset the Sheriff, which was funny but also like...damn, give the guy a break.)

BUT beyond that, they are a WONDERFULLY chaotic pair with fantastic positive vibes overall! I'd love to see them team together during the Life series because, with Scar's insane Life series antics and Jimmy's ability to get on anyone's bad side without really trying, I think it would make for a steller and entertaining team up. They'd be loyal to the end with plenty of plot and comedic relief sprinkled in, but also would probably die quickly without anyone else there to stop them from being idiots xD

John Parish, 22.11.2002, Praha, Palác Akropolis

Jeden z nejvýznamnějších světových hudebních producentů a skladatelů, multi-instrumentalista John Parish své desky nevydává jak na běžícím pásu a koncertně svou hudbu prezentuje jen sporadicky. Už jen proto má Praha štěstí, že byla zařazena do Parishova krátkého evropského turné, jímž s devítičlenným orchestrem představuje své nové album "How Animals Move", které v září vyšlo na kultovní chicagské značce Thrill Jockey.

Žánrové rozpětí Parishova hudebního výraziva je nezměrné a v jeho případě platí dvojnásob, že činy jsou silnější než slova. Proto spíše než složitá biografie plná škatulek a přirovnání, bude zřejmě zcela stačit jeho diskografie. Zde je připomenutí zásadních hudebních počinů a osobností, jejichž věhlasu John Parish svým autorským, instrumentálním a producentským uměním významně přispěl:

P.J. HARVEY - album To Bring You My Love (1995) JOHN PARISH & POLLY JEAN HARVEY - album Dance Hall At Louse Point (1996) SPLEEN - album Soundtrack To Spleen (1996) THE HARVEST MINISTERS - album Orbit (1996) 16 HORSEPOWER - album Low Estate (1997) THE INNER FLAME - pocta Raineru Ptáčkovi (1997), společně s P.J. Harvey, Giant Sand, Robertem Plantem, Jimmy Pagem, Jonathanem Richmanem, Evanem Dando… P.J. HARVEY - album Is This Desire (1998) ROSIE (S ďáblem v hlavě) - soundtrack ke stejnojmenému filmu Patrice Toyeové (1998); film i J.Parish za hudbu získali mnohá prestižní ocenění (např. Cannes, Bonn, Seattle…) SPLEEN - album Little Scratches (1998) THE THE - Shrunken Man EP (1999) PAT MACDONALD - album Begging Her Graces (1999) GIANT SAND - album Chore Of Enchantment (2000) GOLDFRAPP - album Felt Mountain (2000) THOU - album Put Us In Tune (2000) BETTIE SERVEERT - album Private Suit (2000) PAT MACDONALD - album Degrees Of Gone (2001) EXPERIMENTAL POP BAND - album Tracksuit Trilogy (2001) SPARKLEHORSE - album It's A Wonderful Life (2001); s Tomem Waitsem… EELS - album Souljacker (2001); klip režíroval Wim Wenders

John Parish dále význmně producentsky a instrumentálně přispěl některým nahrávkám Toma Waitse devadesátých let...

Na aktuálním albu Johna Parishe How Animals Move se mimo jiné podíleli např. P.J. Harvey, Howe Gelb (Giant Sand), Will Gregory (Goldfrapp), Jeremy Hogg a také Adrian Utlety z Portishead, který je zároveň i členem současného Parishova devítičlenného koncertního orchestru, jenž se představí i v Praze v Paláci Akropolis.
