Imagine . . .

❝ Carnival for kisses ❞

Imagine forcing Billy to go with you to your favourite neighbourhood carnival—one you’d always gone to as a child—for the sake of nostalgia. He’s unhappy about it, but he can’t always say no to you—well, that combined with the fact that you’d sorta compromised to thank him for his valiant efforts later tonight.

Warnings: implied innuendo, cussing, fluff, nothing hectic

Not long after entering the premises, you spotted a live carnival performance happening onstage, smack-bang in the centre of all the boisterous activity. You dragged an unwilling Billy over to the amassing crowd, and he begrudgingly stuck it out beside you as you watched the performance unfold. The few times you’d turned to get a glimpse of your boyfriend’s reaction, you found his head swivelling about the crowd, and you could tell by the furrow in those thick brows that he was just about judging every cunt around him to help pass the time.

— ᡣ𐭩 –

You tell Billy to lose the Men-in-Black glasses, stating that it looked out of sorts in such a light-hearted setting.

He stopped in his tracks and pivoted on his boots to face you with an indignant expression. “Oi, this is ma fuckin’ look,” he argued.

“Is the so called look a hunt for your next interrogation victim?” You jabbed at him, flashing him a wide grin as you reached your arm over in an attempt to clasp the nose bridge of the glasses between your thumb and index finger.

Billy caught you at the wrist and pulled you into his broad frame in one fluid motion, only releasing your arm once your own body was flush against his. You offered a scoff at his blatant fondling of you, hyperaware of the arms he’d snaked around the small of your back, and the flat press of his palms against the upper curves of your buttocks. He flashed you that devilish grin now, and you averted your attention to take in a self-conscious sweep of your surroundings.

“People are watching, Billy,” you warn him, finally meeting his intense gaze with a simper.

“I could give two shits about those snoopy little cunts, I ain’t here for ‘em,” he said, his eyes darting across what felt like every intricate carving of your facial features, before his jaw dipped to press his lips against yours. The intrusion was rough, the coarse hair of his moustache grazing your nose as he hungrily claimed your upper lip. When he finally released you, his hand lifted to frame your jaw, and he passed his thumb over your lips to eradicate the moisture of evidence. “You, Love, however, are a force to reckon with, so I’ll entertain your little request to lose these stinkin’ glasses—but only ‘cause I’m actually the one gettin’ everythin’ I want.”

You shake your head lightly at that, offering an ungenuine roll of yours eyes as Billy released you from his hold. He cocked his head knowingly and moved to pluck the glasses from his face, neatly folding the accessory before reaching out his index finger to hook the v-line of your shirt. You relished the cool touch just shy of your cleavage. Billy smirked knowingly and tugged lightly at his position to pull you closer to him. He replaced his finger with the glasses, giving it a light pat once he’d secured it to your blouse.

“You hold onto that, then,” he said before offering you his hand. “Come on, let’s get this cesspool of crack and candy over with.”

— ᡣ𐭩 –

You both grabbed a bite to eat as the two of you stroll through the stalls littered around the area, and Billy was happily chomping down on his choice of a snack, his foul mood starting to lighten a little. You eyed the cone in his hand, and he noticed before slowing to a stop and offering you the treat.

“What, ya want a taste?” He asked. “All you’ve got to do is ask, Love.” He offered his characteristic smirk as he watched you take up a handful of the popcorn and plop them into your mouth a little bit at a time. You flashed him a thumbs up as you chowed through the last of the buttered snack, and Billy chuckled in response. “Well, if you fancy it that much, how ‘bout I go and get us some more?”

— ᡣ𐭩 –

One of the carnival booths was a well-displayed plushie utopia that you just had to dip into. If there was something you loved more than the carnival, it was the odds of walking home with a stuffed bear as large as, well, your boyfriend.

“We have to give that a shot!” You told Billy eagerly, beckoning to the colourful stand with all manner of stuffed animals framing the overhang. “It’s not a tricky game, you’ve just gotta have the eye for it. Come on, Bill, whaddya say?”

Billy tilted his head in disbelief. “I say big hairy bollocks to that,” he scoffed, passing a scratch over his beard. “Those carnival games are a right scam. They take all o’ ya money and you ain’t eva have shit to show for it. If I wanted to do somethin’ as brain-numbing as tha’, I’d pay a fuck ton o’ dollars to sit and have tea with a fuckin’ Supe.”

“Oh, enough of your bloody squawking!” You groaned, taking his hand into your own as you began to pull him toward the stand. Billy began mumbling a generous stream of cusses but relented to your guidance nonetheless.

You went about playing the game for a considerable amount of time, your eye set on winning the large, brown grizzly bear propped at the corner of the main counter. Billy loitered about with a permanent scowl on his face, intermittently flashing the stand owner a needlessly intimidating glare, as though warning off any mischief he might try. And low and behold, once you’d perfectly knocked down the target and earned your reward, the stand owner attempted to deny your win.

Before you had a chance to argue your victory, Billy stormed over to the stand. “Oi!” He called, lifting his hand in a pointing gesture. “Open ya fuckin’ eyes, mate—she won that bloody bear fair ‘n square, yeah? It says it right there on that board o’ yours.” He gestured to the bright and flashing sign above the target you’d knocked over, which proudly displayed winner! “Take a look, will ya? ‘Cause none o’ us here are fuckin’ blind.”

You slipped in beside Billy and placed a steadying hand on his shoulder. He turned his head to glance at you, his frown briefly softening and his jaw clenching to stifle his wicked mouth. “Leave the bugger,” you told your boyfriend. “We both knew the risks beforehand, remember? Besides, I’m over it now. Let’s go and see what else’s around.”

Billy gave a brief pause before nodding a surrender, but not before delivering the stand owner one last stare. You slipped your hand from his shoulder, taking a step back as you prepared to leave. You expected Billy you trail after, but instead, he stayed rooted to his spot, placing both palms onto the booth counter as he leaned over to confront the store owner. You gave a dramatic sigh before inching your way back over, just in time to catch your boyfriend’s words.

“I hope ya have a beautifully shit-filled day, all right?” Billy told the stand owner, his hand lifting to point an accusing index finger. “‘Cause you’re a shite cunt, mate.” With that last statement, he reached over the counter for the giant bear plushie, and yanked the heavy thing effortlessly into his grasp—all while fixing the stand owner with an unwavering, soul-searching glare that caused the kid to clamp down on his lips, instead of calling the carnival cops. With a curt dip of his chin, Billy said, “you have a bad one,” and hoisted the bear into his arms before turning to you and jutting his chin forward for you to take leave.

You followed after him. “Hey!” You called. “We can’t just take that.”

“Sure we can,” he grunted, continuing steadfast in his tracks. “Ya won this bear fair ‘n square, and I’d be a right wanker to stand by ‘n let my girl get robbed in broad fuckin’ daylight.”

— ᡣ𐭩 –

After depositing your questionable win of a bear plushie into the back of Billy’s car, you returned to the carnival to scour the last of the booths for the day. While nearing the end of the row, you came across a den of puppies up for adoption, and you clutched your chest with the largest of grins pitching up the corners of your mouth.

“Look at the furry babies!” You exclaimed, pointing at the little Pitbull puppies pressing their faces through the bars of their enclosure, wailing and barking at the sight of you and Billy.

The lady tending the puppies turned a glance in your direction, then offered a warm smile before she reached to unhook one of the fence gates. The puppies—four of them, scamped out to meet you, but two of them stopped midway to tackle one another, and the third joined onto the play heap shortly after. Only the last one reached you both—an albino Bully with the biggest pair of blue eyes you’d ever seen a dog wear. This puppy had been single-handedly blessed with one of the biggest features of manipulation a dog could own.

The tiny cloud with four legs and a loud bark on it veered for Billy, it’s slim tail thrown about in a waving display of joy as it’s jaws acquainted the toe of his boot. It’s tiny fangs gnawed at the leather, but to no avail other than leaving behind a trail of saliva.

“C’mere, ya lil’ bugger,” Billy chuckled as he crouched over to scoop up the nipping puppy. It yapped a protest at being robbed of the safety of the ground, but quickly settled into your boyfriend’s folded arms. “You’re a feisty little man, aye? Ya got a ball-shivering pair o’ eyes on ya,” he teased. The puppy stuck its head out to lap at Billy’s bearded chin, and your boyfriend chuckled at the sensation. “Greedy little thing. Ya gotta get ya self together, mate, I’m already spoken for—ya see that pretty girl o’er there?” He turned his gaze in your direction, making a tiny gesture with his hand. “Tha’s future Mrs. Butcher—once she swallows tha’ stubborn pair o’ hers and accepts my ring.”

You marvelled at the sight in front of you, unaware of just how much further you could fall—plummet, for Billy Butcher. You giggled at his words. He offered you a charming wink before turning his attention back to the puppy. You reached for your phone in your pocket, retreating a few paces to snap a handful of pictures of your boyfriend coddling the puppy.

Through the digital lens, Billy called to you. “Oi!” You lowered your phone to witness your boyfriend’s face in person. “Come and say hello to our little friend.”

You shoved your phone back into your pocket and trotted over to the pair of them, reaching out your hand to the puppy as a greeting. His pink nosed glazed every surface of your hand before he began to violently lick you.

“Can we take him home, please?” You pleaded, placing a scratch on the puppy’s head. “Just look at those big paws and that wrinkled, little snoot of his. Oh, he’s such a little charmer.”

Billy shook his head and gently lowered the Bully to the ground. “Nah, I ain’t cleanin’ up after that little crap machine,” he said. “You’re enough to work with, as it is,” he added with a mischievous grin, straightening to full height.

You watched the puppy scamper over the grass toward you and bent over to pet him, but the little gremlin only gnawed at your boot for a few seconds before releasing it to scatter back onto his brawling litter mates. You rose back to full height and turned to face Billy, your hand slipping into your pocket to pull out your phone. “Just take a look at this, Bill.” You beckoned your boyfriend over.

“Whatcha got there?” He appeared over your shoulder just in time as you pulled up the picture you’d taken of the Bully puppy in Billy’s arms, looking absolutely smitten over your boyfriend. You understood the appeal, honestly, only in a manner a lot less innocent.

“Check how he stares at you—that’s a profession of love, if I’ve ever seen one!” You teased.

Billy flashed you a close-lipped smile as he took the phone from your palm, his head tilting down to the screen. After a few moments, he glanced up at you, the phone lowering with his hand. “Tell ya what,” he said. “I’ll think ‘bout it.”

You looped your arm around his and leaned into his side, glancing up at him. “Could I weaponise tonight to try and convince you?” You asked cheekily.

His eyes narrowed into a sultry stare, his lips broadening with a smirk before he lowered his head to place a kiss on your lips. “Oh, absolutely,” he murmured after a good peck. “Put on ya best fuckin’ performance.”

I just need a moment to hug you, to have you, to rely on you. Where did you go so far? How long will you be gone? I wait for you to come back,,, but you won’t come back, that’s okay, and I’m sorry.

Let go my friend, drop it, I want you to throw a rock into the ocean, into a river. One last look and next a good bye. Let the ocean take you home.

Someone’s grandma who was your rock may have passed and this is how you feel,you may have grown distant and she’s the one hoping you’d come back. For some, if someone is waiting for you, you may have reasons why not to come back to them, you are respected, you choice is respected, do not feel pressured to see someone who hurt you.

Okay here are some antics I think the BTR boys would get up to source: I’m a certified minnesotan who goes to duluth a few times a year

-the main mall in duluth is the miller hill mall. Totally generic, average mall, but it’s pretty much the main thing teens will do during the winter. I think they would get banned for life by starting a food fight in the cafeteria and they’d keep coming up with disguises to use and then subsequently getting banned again. there's also a mall called fitgers which is pretty cool because it used to be a brewery. i've only been there a few times so idk as much about it alas.

-speaking of malls, at some point they would come to minneapolis (i assume for say a hockey trip for example) and go to the mall of america. It’s the biggest mall in the western hemisphere and theres a zillion stores so you can imagine all the antics there. But in particular, they have an amusement park. It is currently nickelodeon universe but i think at the time it would’ve still been camp snoopy. I think they would have gotten banned by climbing up the rides and breaking something.

-While in minneapolis, i think they would’ve gone to the sculpture garden (it’s free). I think they would somehow make the cherry break off from the famous spoonbridge and cherry fountain

-They would also go to the science museum for sure. I think they would manage to knock over a dinosaur skeleton. But also they’d also just have all kinds of general antics. For example, they have a thing that blasts you with air to replicate sneezing and they’d 100% do that to each other. I can elaborate on this more I went to this museum sooo much as a kid but this is already gonna be so long lmao.

-While still in the area, they’d go to Valleyfair, which is like the main amusement park around here. Again, generic amusement park antics. But I also think they’d come around halloween, when they do ValleyScare, which is when they have like, haunted houses and scare actors and whatnot

-Going back to duluth, they would DEFINITELY spend time around canal park in the warmer months. It’s like this little touristy/shopping center in duluth. There’s a bunch of little shops and restaurants and a couple museums (including the irvin museum which is like a big ass historic boat and also as an aside they do like a haunted ship thing around halloween) around there. There’s a lakewalk they could walk along, there’s a lighthouse you can walk up to, and also there’s this like semi-submerged structure in the lake that people like to jump off of in the summer. 

-Also in the canal park area is the aerial lift bridge. The whole bridge lifts up when boats are gonna pass under. The guys would 100% get in trouble for trying to stay on the bridge while it’s going up

-Theres also this like, family fun center in canal park called adventure zone that i remember going to as a kid. it has like, an arcade and laser tag and stuff like that. obviously they would get kicked out of there almost immediately

-Theres a tower in duluth called enger tower that at least one of them would definitely fall out of and break an arm or something

-there’s a famous mansion called the glensheen mansion. Notoriously, there were some murders that happened there and tour guides aren’t supposed to talk about it during the tours (they’re usually okay fielding questions about after the tour) so I would imagine they would pester the poor tour guide about the murders/ghosts until the guide snapped asjhds

-less like, antic-y, but there used to be record shop called electric fetus that they probably would have gone to

-i think they would’ve been banned from the lake superior zoo for trying to pet the animals or something but i suppose that could happen at any zoo

- the downtown duluth area is on a really steep hill so i imagine in winter after it snowed they’d try to sled down it and almost get hit by cars

-Grandma’s marathon ends in canal park, so i think they’d fake like they ran the whole marathon to impress girls or something sadjhhka

-there are a lot of parks including state parks so i could imagine them getting like lost in the woods or whatever. in general in minnesota/duluth theres a lot of outdoorsy stuff like skiing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, boating, jetskiing, ATVing, snowmobiling, that sort of stuff. fishing is really big because we have a zillion lakes lol. i was always a dork who just wanted to stay inside as a teen lol but teenage boys i knew growing up tended towards doing those outdoors stuff.

-an aside but i know the guys are hockey players so it's probably good to know the minnesota hockey team is the minnesota wild. im not a big hockey person but my understanding is they are incredibly mid.

hope this helps with your band yaoi bestie <3 obviously this is a non-exhaustive list but this is the big stuff that came to mind.

@partiallypearl @cant-get-enough-btr-forever @myloveforhergoeson @mpregloganmitchell @mpregkendallknight @btr-rewatch @bishounenbtr tagging you guys because you might be interested in their minnesota antics from a reliable source (my good friend penny)

penny i love love that you wrote all this i felt like i was taking a little tour with you around the cities <333

THEY HAD CAMP SNOOPY ARE YOU KIDDING ME... that's adorable, they definetly would've managed to catch that big snoopy on fire orrr get really trashed one night and try to steal it skdjsh (it seems huge on that picture so the idea of the guys clumsily trying to climb it to take it with them is cracking me up).

i remember you mentioning the spoonbridge once!! don't remember the context lol, i didn't know it was an entire garden waow.. yeah that cherry would suffer some damage with them around for sure.

that science museum looks like so much fun 😭 i think logan would ask them to go and they'd do it for him but end up having a blast together. if you do feel like telling more about what you liked about it as a kid please do bc im charmed by this place.

that picture of canal park's submerged structure is making me crazy bc those guys jumping into the lake could totally be them... one thing in general about these guys is they canonically Love the outdoors, they like to camp, the beach and they seemed to take well to california's warmer weather, i can see them taking any chance they got back home to enjoy the sun and the water without freezing their toes off lol. they also wanted to take snowboarding lessons according to the show (but james' mom made them take ballet instead <3), they'd take advantage of any change of adrenaline. the rush, one could say 🤨

THAT MANSION!! idk if you got that far but there's a ghost episode in season 1, and they obviously try to bust it. this would be right up their alley. i can see them plotting to split during the tour so they can catch that sucker (kendall's plan, brought on by carlos' request/begging skdjshs)

fun fact!!

but the fact that they're mid makes it so much funnier to me 😭😭😭 another mutual also told me the maple leafs are kinda hated? i honestly can see kendall choosing these teams out of spite as a young teen skdjdhd "oh you think they suck? well now i want in even more :)"

I LOVE THISSSSS thank you for taking the time to write it bestie ❤️❤️

Title: Snoopy and the Emo-Haired Kid Author: Raven_Silversea Rating: T Pairing: Hibari Kyoya & Snoopy, Fon & Hibari Kyoya Tags/Warnings: Pre-Canon: Katekyou Hitman Reborn, POV Alternating, Humor, Crack Treated Seriously, Reincarnated Snoopy, Implied/Referenced Murder

Day 1: Garden/New Life

Ao3

It was a well-known fact that every dog needs a doghouse, especially if they are a talking dog who can draw pictures in the dirt with a stick. Kyoya’s not sure why the talking baby is so confused about this. Kyoya has a dog, dogs need doghouses, this dog also happened to draw out the plans for his doghouse in the dirt with a stick he found in the back garden.

“Kyo-er,” the baby says, slowly, his hands pressed flat together and pressed against his mouth, “dogs can’t talk…? Or plan out their own doghouses…?”

Kyoya and his puppy, Snoopy as the puppy had chosen to be called, look at each other. Then they both look back at the baby. Who is also talking. And claims to be Kyoya’s older brother.

The baby seems to take the hint and sighs. He pinched the bridge of his nose and mutters something about Kyoya’s mother killing him.

“Kaa-san won’t even notice, baby,” Kyoya says, rolling his eyes. “Snoopy’s already promised to stay out of the house when she’s in, and to wipe his feet before entering anyway.”

Snoopy nods his head, wagging his little black puppy tail. Not like I want to stay in the house anyway. The garden’s much more interesting.

Kyoya nods seriously and gestures towards Snoopy as if to say, ‘See? There you have it.’

The baby’s distress visibly increases at the exchange. However, instead of contributing anything relevant to the conversation or allowing Kyoya to continue about his business, the baby says, “Why does the dog have a name, but you insist on referring to me as ‘the baby’, Kyo-er? I have a name.”

Fine, if the stupid talking baby insists. “Kaa-san won’t even notice, Fon-tan.” Kyoya rolls his eyes as Fon squawks in protest of the honorific, but really fair is fair. He keeps calling Kyoya ‘Kyo-er’ even though Kyoya is clearly older than him and it’s rude and insulting to be referred to as such by a baby.

Kyoya leaves the baby to his squawking, and Snoopy trots along at his heels. Together they start hashing out where Snoopy’s doghouse could go without disturbing the fengshui of the garden that Kaa-san has so carefully cultivated.

***

Fon’s not entirely sure how he ended up in the paint aisle of Namimori’s hardware store, helping his surprise baby brother and his puppy pick out paint for the puppy’s doghouse. One minute he’s doing his annual reunion with his father, and the next, he has a new stepmother and half-brother, and his father tragically deceased, leaving him in charge of said half-brother while his stepmother makes funeral arrangements.

‘I need to have an heir, you know this, Feng-er’ his ass. That argument may have worked when Fon was recently cursed, but not thirty fucking years down the line! He’s old enough to be his stepmother’s father for goodness’ sake!

“Which color do you want?” Kyoya asks, carrying the puppy down the paint aisle and carefully pausing in front of each paint slip so the puppy can see them all. It’s cute. It’d be cuter if Kyoya wasn’t so insistent that the puppy could talk.

“What about this one, Kyo-er?” Fon asks. He pulls out an ocean blue paint slip and shows it to the boy, who frowns dubiously at it. 

The boy and puppy look at each other, and they look to have a silent conversation with each other for a moment. Then Kyoya stands perfectly straight and says, “No thank you, Fon-tan. Snoopy doesn’t like that one, but thank you for your help.”

Well that was Fon told. He puts the paint slip back and continues following Kyoya’s path down the paint aisle. At least he can tell Kyoya’s mother that he tried to get him to choose a nice, cool, calming color to match her garden when she ultimately discovers the new doghouse in said garden. 

The puppy suddenly barks, tongue lolling out of its mouth and tail wagging in excitement. It dances it’s front paws on Kyoya’s arm and turns to lick his cheek. A smile breaks Kyoya’s serious expression, and he nods. “That’s a good color, Snoopy,” he says so quietly that Fon almost misses it.

“What color did you pick?” Fon asks, resisting the urge to stretch up onto his tip-toes to see.

Kyoya turns and holds up a paint slip. A very red paint slip that decidedly does not match his mother’s carefully curated garden. 

Fon should probably look into making a will.

“Kyo-er… are you sure?”

Kyoya hums. “Snoopy says it’s his favorite color,” he says with a sharp nod. Then he turns and marches over to the counter to get his paint mixed.

Fon is left in the paint aisle, mouth agape, staring after the boy. “He can’t even see it though…?” 

There’s no way Kyoya heard Fon’s half-whispered question from across the aisle, but both the puppy and he glare at him anyway. Truly a matched set those two. He sighs and counts to ten as he walks over to join them.

Kyoya is not getting anything from him if his mother kills Fon because of Kyoya’s puppy. 

***

Snoopy watches the Emo-Haired Kid build his new doghouse, tail thumping against the mossy stone he’s sitting on. The Bell-Collared Baby passes the kid nails and hovers like he’s concerned that the kid’s going to hurt himself. Like Snoopy isn’t right there supervising.

The doghouse is coming together marvelously in Snoopy’s opinion. The walls are up in a rectangular shape with a semi-circle door leading to the inside, which he plans on decorating with the fluffy pillow he pulled off of the Emo-Haired Kid’s bed and his new yellow, bird-shaped squeaky toy. All that’s left to do is put the roof on- which the kid’s working on now- and paint it that familiar shade of red.

He doesn’t know what the Bell-Collared Baby was complaining about. It’ll perfectly match the rose bushes around the doghouse when they’re in bloom.

“Kaa-san planted white roses, not red, Snoopy,” the Emo-Haired Kid says as he straightens the next piece of wood in place.

Red and white go together. That’s how you get pink after all.

The Emo-Haired Kid pauses, head tilting to the side as he considers this argument. Then he hums and nods before starting to hammering the roof piece down. 

Snoopy still can’t quite get over the fact the Emo-Haired Kid can understand him. The Round-Headed Kid never could, which allowed for endless fun in mocking him without his knowledge and also endless frustration as Snoopy had to result to charades to get his point across. Even then, the Round-Headed Kid missed the point most of the time.

Of course, the Bell-Collared Baby’s continued and increasing concern over hearing only one side of the conversation is hilarious in its own right. Snoopy had missed tormenting people like this in his old age when all he had the energy for was lying in front of the fire and leaning into the Round-Headed Kid’s ear scratches. 

He takes the opportunity to stretch out like he hasn’t been able to in years, all through the tips of his ears and the ends of each paw. It feels amazing! He refuses to ever get used to it again!

His ears perk up at the sound of the back door sliding open and the soft sound of slippered feet walking over the wooden veranda. He turns to face this new person- surely the ‘Kaa-san’ the Emo-Haired Kid has been referring to- and sits, tail wagging and tongue lolling out of a puppy grin. I’m cute, and you’re going to love me.

The woman stares at him. The Emo-Haired Kid continues hammering the roof onto his doghouse. “Fon-san,” the woman says, slowly. “What is this?”

“A puppy, Kaa-san,” the Emo-Haired Kid says in his ‘this is an obvious observation and I’m confused on why we’re addressing it’ voice. “My puppy. Fon-tan has been helping me building a doghouse for him.”

“Has he now?” the woman tilts her head and looks towards the Bell-Collared Baby with a sharp, toothy smile. 

Snoopy shrinks back and decides to tactically retreat behind the Emo-Haired Kid, leaving the Bell-Collared Baby at the mercy of this dangerous woman. The Bell-Collared Baby gives him a look of complete betrayal before he turns to try and placate the woman.

The Emo-Haired Kid pauses his hammering to scratch Snoopy behind the ears as the woman pulls the Bell-Collared Baby off to the side and starts berating him. “Kaa-san won’t say no,” the Emo-Haired Kid whispers. “She’ll want to make me feel better about Tou-san’s death. I don’t care about that though. Tou-san always wanted me quiet and out of the way, especially when he was doing business.”

I have no idea why, you can build doghouses afterall. What more could he want? Snoopy licks the Emo-Haired Kid’s hand and thumps his tail a few more times for good measure. 

The Emo-Haired Kid laughs and returns to his hammering. Snoopy settles down by his feet and watches the woman and the Bell-Collared Baby.

“You let him do what to my garden?! Fon-san, what were you thinking?”

Rainy Day Shenanigans based on the hcs here Rainy Day Series

(Description in Alt and down below)

[ID: Various digital sketches of Taylor playing around in the rain in different outfits. He is shown dramatically opening an umbrella with sunglasses on and spinning water off of it. There is one with him holding his umbrella off a low bridge and splashing it in the river while another shows him shoving the closed umbrella forward like a sword. The next scene shows a sparkling Taylor practicing the singing in the rain musical number near a light post with Hermie mentoring and singing along. The top right scene is Taylor using his umbrella to hide from and avoid some people from school. He sits behind a bush. Last two sketches show Taylor happily walking with his cane and one hand outstretched to catch rain drops and the ranger sitting in bed with a big mug of hot coco and his laptop while watching rain through the window. There's a santa snoopy plush on the bed and the canvas has a blue background with airbrush white illuminating each scene. End ID.]

490. The 1980 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, November 27, 1980

(the whole parade is here, if you just want the commercials and highlights, it's here)

Randy Hamilton from the soap opera Texas sings "Deep in the Heart of Texas" with a small child? Who is this small child. I want it to be a random child that they chose three minutes before turning the cameras on. Randy doesn't have a Wikipedia page! Sadness.

Ahhh!! Is that a baby Mark Linn Baker in the GE commercial?!

I love the crowd whooping it up for the cast of One 'Mo Time. I was wondering what was behind them --- I think it was the broadcast booth for host Ed McMahon! Just ... there with the saddest looking Woolworth decorations ever.

What a weird closing card (what do you call that?) for this Child World / Children's Palace commercial that aired constantly. Ok, the bear didn't fall on his butt? That was the best shot we could get?

For some reason Marilyn Michaels takes off her gloves while singing "Watching the Parade go Byyy". That couldn't of waited, Marilyn?

Todd Bridges sang a song about the Summer. I felt bad for Todd, he had no back up dancers, just dancing in the street. Was this a time filler? Loved the song!

A baby Glenn Close was there with the cast of Barnum. I feel like Ed is auditioning for the Star Search hosting gig with this parade. I love his energy.

I love the juxtaposition of Bryant Gumbel thanking the Museum of Natural history for letting people warm up in their building with Doodlebug.

Ed sang a song! When was the last time a host SANG.

I thought Cootie ran over a clown, but the clown deliberately laid down in front of him??

Just for us Hampton Roads girlies, Busch Gardens of Williamsburg had a Loch Ness Monster float! It's still at Busch Gardens! The cast of Brigadoon was on the float.

Ed was trying to find a date for Happy Dragon. He said "I guess now that he's 21, he's free to go out in the evening and date whomever he chooses. So if you have an eligible dragon hanging around your house moping, we might be able to set them up and in the years to come, who knows how many dragons we might have in the parade!"

There was a float for everyone's favorite box office flop, Popeye! I think that's supposed to be Olive Oyl?!

1980 was electric football's year. It felt like it was the only toy advertised!

"Tonka's Bear in a Box! Everyone's favorite!"

Finally, a game that looks like one of my dad's vintage fire scanners.

Cowboys were HOT this year, due to the movie Urban Cowboy, and the TV show Dallas. Modern equivalent to this would be this past Summer's Western Barbie! We even had Dean Butler from Little House on the Prairie sing "Don't Fence Me In" while riding a tortoise. The Lone Ranger even showed up. Oh, and even the McDonalds commercial with Ronald was western themed.

While Snoopy couldn't fly this year due to a leg injury, we had Underdog.

Can we discuss how a station wagon is pulling a float. Later on, I saw an Oldsmobile sedan towing the float with the Spinners on it.

This beautiful phone store.

I feel like by the time we were growing up in the late 80s/early 90s, Kermit had more bad days at the parade than good, but 1980 was a good year for him. Just look at him.

Casper is over here looking like the baby from Ally McBeal.

Bob from Sesame Street sang a song while Bert & Ernie danced. Even Oscar liked the song.

Unfortunately, the entire parade isn't on YouTube. Looks like the recorder only set their VCR for two hours. One of the final things you see is Linda Ronstadt and the cast of The Pirates of Penzance. "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" slaps.

A chat with Noah Schnapp, the 11-year-old Montrealer who voices Charlie Brown in The Peanuts Movie

'I listened to as much as I could find online to get the voice right. Winning the role took a lot of hard work'

Special to National Post

Published Nov 06, 2015

Noah Schnapp, the 11-year-old actor, son of former Montrealers Karine and Mitchell Schnapp, was selected to provide the pipes for the ever-flappable Charlie Brown in The Peanuts Movie after an extensive hunt. For good reason: his take is dead-on. It turns out that wasn’t accidental.

“In preparing for my recording audition, my mom told me to YouTube the old Peanuts Thanksgiving and Christmas specials to hear how Charlie Brown speaks,” the articulate Schnapp says in a phone interview from his family’s New York City base. “So I listened to as much as I could find online to get the voice right. Winning the role took a lot of hard work, but good fortune as well. There were a lot of other talented kids up for the part, too.”

After studying the character, Schnapp says, he can relate to Charlie Brown in a lot of ways. “Charlie never gives up, and I try never to give up either. And my dog Spaghetti is a bit like Snoopy — a real wise guy.”

Schnapp already has an impressive resumé — moviegoers can catch him in Steven Spielberg’s new Bridge of Spies, and will soon be able to see him in the indie feature, We Only Know So Much, based on the book of the same title.

He is commuting between New York and Atlanta, where he is in the midst of shooting Stranger Things, a supernatural thriller series for Netflix.

And he spent a portion of last spring in Park City, Utah, where he took part in the Sundance Directors Lab and played the lead in director Brent Green’s Untitled Loveless Fable. No surprise, Schnapp was the youngest person invited to the event, which was also attended by such heavies as Robert Redford and Ed Harris.

To top it all off, he was just listed in Variety’s Youth Impact Report as a rising star under 21 to watch out for.

Pretty heady stuff for a kid who only started acting in community theatre three years ago.

Schnapp plays the son of Tom Hanks’s negotiator character in Bridge of Spies, and is most convincing as a kid who’s concerned about a Soviet nuclear retaliation at the height of the Cold War. He dutifully learns the ludicrous duck-and-cover technique should a missile strike while he’s at school, and keeps his bathtub full of water should it strike while he’s at home.

“I have to be honest and admit that before I started working on that project, I actually didn’t know much about that period or who they (Hanks and Spielberg), were,” Schnapp says. “But you have to understand that I was only nine at the time.

“However, when we started pre-production, I watched most of their movies. Then I went: ‘Wow!’ I hadn’t realized how big and how important they were.”

He was particularly struck by Hanks’s manner.

“He’s just such a selfless, generous actor,” Schnapp marvels. “In most of his movies, he’s usually playing the hero and good guy, which is what he really is. He would always be holding on to my shoulder (during shooting), and putting me into the spotlight. And not just me — he was always trying to make everyone else shine, too. It was really such a great experience working with him and Steven Spielberg.”

Schnapp is nothing if not determined. Because of his lack of experience, he figured he was a long shot to land the roles in The Peanuts Movie and Bridge of Spies.

“It was kind of crazy — those were some of my first auditions,” he recalls. “I was very excited, but I didn’t really think I could get the work in Peanuts. Still, I really, really wanted it, because I knew I could do it. And I got it.

“It was the same thing for Bridge of Spies. It was crazy, too. Then I just started getting more and more roles.”

Apart from Hanks, he’s had some solid parental figures watching his back when he’s on the job. In We Only Know So Much, Jeanne Tripplehorn plays his mom, while Winona Ryder takes on that role in Stranger Things.

The Sundance Directors Lab was a great learning experience. “There were about 200 directors, actors and screenwriters. I learned that it was OK to experiment with scenes and improvise new lines. We were like a big family — everyone became my friend.”

Though he didn’t start acting until he was eight, Schnapp says he caught the bug two years earlier.

“After I saw Annie on Broadway, I came out of the show crying, because I wanted to be on that stage. Then when I watched TV, I just knew I wanted to be that person in the TV, too.”

Anyone Sorta Feel Snoopy Liked Lila More Than Charlie Brown?

I’ve been thinking about “Snoopy Come Home” lately, and honestly I feel like there’s a chance Snoopy actually legit liked Lila over Charlie Brown.

Now don’t get me wrong, I know Snoopy was crying so sad to leave Charlie Brown + everyone when he left for Lila in “Snoopy Come Home”, and was so happy to see the sign and come back to Charlie Brown.

But at the same time, if you really think about it, when Snoopy found out Lila was sick in the hospital, what did he do?

Snoopy immediately rushed to the hospital as fast as he could, saying Lila needs him. He traveled all that way to see her, even staying nights in the wilderness + under a bridge, and the two were even crying together once they were reunited.

When Snoopy knew that Charlie Brown was sick in the hospital during some strips in the 1970s, what did he do?

Nothing, Snoopy didn’t give a care about Charlie Brown at all.

In fact during the time Charlie Brown was in the hospital everyone else showed that they really cared about him deep down despite how they often treat him.

In fact, even LUCY, of all people, actually showed more care towards Charlie Brown during that than Snoopy lmao

Not to mention that in the comics, Snoopy even actually said once that he “loved Lila more than life itself”.

Meanwhile with Charlie Brown all Snoopy does is act rude, is almost always never really there for him when he is bullied or wanting a friend, and is quick to abandon him many times before.

(There are many times where Snoopy will act like a jerk towards the other kids too not just CB, and he won’t care lol)

Now I know that Snoopy does care about Charlie Brown deep down, and he was so happy to go back to him, I'm not making this to hate on Snoopy or say he is always horrible to Charlie Brown, because that’s not true.

But at the same time the main reason Snoopy went back to Charlie Brown was because of the "No Dogs Allowed" sign. If that sign wasn’t there, what would he have done? Is there a small chance that Snoopy could have permanently stayed with Lila?

What do you think?

To better explain everything you see here...

Ageha's birthday is 8/8

Miri and Fuwa share the same voice actor and are a "bridge" between the two series'/franchises

Rei's birthday is 8/10 and given BD was set in 2023 that episode is actually progressing right now(Since at the time of posting that's what day it was in Japan) and Miri would have been about a year old when Star Twinkle was airing

Snoopy's birthday is also observed as the tenth of August so I decided to slip him in last second
