#so i'm showing her and Bobo to all of you

[ancestralia]

Ruth and Harry Posmantier, Holocaust survivors, at their wedding on December 22, 1945 in Landsberg, Baveria, Germany.

Harry Posmantier (born Henoch) was born in Bedzin, Poland on December 24, 1921 to Chaim David and Gitl Posmantier. Chaim was a butcher in the town, and he died in the concentration camp Klettendorf (in Germany) in 1944 at the age of 51. His mother, who had been a housewife, was gassed at Auschwitz in 1943 at the age of 46. Harry's brothers, Isaak and Schlomo, were both sent to concentration camps from '42-'45 and '43-'45 respectively. They both survived. Harry lived in Bedzin from his birth in 1931 until October 1940. During the war, he was sent to twelve labor and concentration camps (from October 27, 1940 until April 30, 1945). On April 30th, Harry was liberated by the US 3rd Army and a Jewish tank seargant from Brooklyn. He was liberated from Staltach, Bavaria at the age of 24. After liberation, Harry lived at the Landsberg D.P. camp in Bavaria. He lived there from May 1945 - March 1948. On December 22, 1945, Harry married Ruth Judith Katz. They married in Landsberg, and in 1948 the couple departed from Marseille, France on the Mala ship to emigrate to Israel illegally. They later immigrated to the United States.

These are my own grandparents. We called them Pookie and Bobo, growing up. While I don't remember "Uncle Itchy", as Harry's brother Yitzchak was nicknamed by my mother, Schlomo was Uncle Sam in my life; we also lived near Ruth's brother Eli Katz, and his wife and daughter.

Yes, two fully grown adults can go trick or treating in silly halloween costumes, thank you very much.

What wasn't okay however, was that Charles was walking around SHIRTLESS in a fucking SKIRT.

Part of my Halloween event!

Warnings: blood, smut, sub Charles, the inherent eroticism of men covered in their own blood, minor injury, temperature play

Also real ones will get the very obvious reference to another popular fic of mine lmao

He'd jumped at the idea of going trick or treating with you, after all, you two didn't get to spend much time together between races, and he loved candy.

 BUT, Charles had decided to dig out his old Prema Gladiator costume (yeah, you know the one) and the top part didn't fit anymore because of how much more muscle he'd got since those days.

So there he fucking stood, in all his oiled up glory, looking like a whore!

He knew exactly what he was doing as well, every time you rang a doorbell he would flex his abs to give the ‘maximum effect’, as he put it.

So to say you were riled up was an understatement.

On one hand, you got to ogle your almost naked boyfriend as much as you liked, but on the other, so did everybody else.

You were a goddess next to him, literally because you were dressed up as a goddess, but you had chosen a dress that didn't show off too much specifically because you knew Charles would get insanely jealous.

Yeah, you might as well have dressed as Bobo the fucking clown.

He was driving you insane in two different ways.

First off he was making you angry, because he was flexing and lowkey flirting on purpose to make you mad.

But the problem was that he was also making you incredibly horny.

His thick thighs wrapped in that thin faux-leather skirt, his oiled up (why the fuck did he oil himself up??) torso on display, his nipples peaking from the cold air of the night.

You were going to lose it before the end of the night, you were certain.

But apart from your inner turmoil, your evening was going great.

Even little kids were giving you candy from their baskets, because they thought you two looked so cool.

“I'm going to kill you when we get home” you said as you wrapped an arm around his waist.

He chuckled “And why is that, love of my life?”

Yeah, he was laying it on thick now, the bastard.

“Because I had to dress modestly to protect your ego and you decided to dress like a whole slut, baby”

He grinned at you, poking your side playfully.

“You are just jealous that the last woman asked for my number, in front of you”

“Okay, I'm going to go back and say yes to her, then”

You gasped mockingly “I am not.”

He suddenly turned around and started walking back in the direction of where you'd just come from.

“Don’t you dare!” you laughed, as you ran after him.

He was quicker though and he sprinted down the road as you struggled to keep up.

“I'll see you later, I guess. I don't know what time I will be home!” he called back, turning his head to laugh at your slower pace.

“Charles Leclerc, you come back here!”

It was a lot of fun bantering and running around like children again.

Until disaster struck.

He hadn't been looking where he was going as he ran around, baiting you into chasing him.

And, well, there's no way of saying this that isn't objectively hilarious.

Charles Leclerc, world famous formula 1 driver, man of immeasurable dexterity and coordination, ran face first into a telephone pole.

You thought he was joking at first, trying to be funny or something as he clutched his face.

But as you caught up you saw blood and immediately worried over him.

He was hunched over so you pulled his hands away to inspect the damage.

Blood was pouring out of his nose and, somehow, he'd also managed to bust his lip. Nothing too serious.

“Are you okay, baby?” you said, just a hint of mocking in your voice.

He pouted, then hissed in pain as he realised that was not a good idea with a busted lip.

“Do I look okay?” he asked.

You almost laughed at how whiny he sounded.

“No broken teeth so yeah, I think you're good”

He shot you an unimpressed look and you smirked.

“Come on drama queen let's get you home and mop up all this blood.”

And there was a lot of it.

It was dripping down his face onto his chest and running down his abs��

You hated seeing him in pain but, as you watched a drop roll down his stomach, you had to admit it was kind of hot.

And to be honest, it also kind of completed the whole Gladiator look.

You can’t really know in advance that seeing a man vulnerable and covered in blood is going to make you horny.

By the time you got home Charles's pain had gone down a little bit and the bleeding had stopped, so he let you sit on his lap while you disinfected his lip.

It just happens, and then you have to live with it.

He whined in pain when the spray hit the cut.

“You need to stop making those kinds of noises or I’m going to have to kiss you and make it worse”

Charles' eyebrows shot up in surprise.

You grinned as you got off his lap and went to get an ice pack for his nose.

“Don't move” you ordered “If you're a good boy I'll give you a blowjob to make you feel better”

You walked out and Charles was bewildered, to say the least.

You were horny? Now?

While you grabbed the ice pack out of the freezer he pulled his costume off, leaving him in his already tented underwear (he is but a simple man after all).

Not that he was complaining. Seb had taught him “never say no to a good blowie”.

You handed him the pack and looked him up and down.

You'll never figure out how you managed to get such a hot man to love you.

You cradled his jaw in your palm and he whimpered as the coldness of the ice made contact with his swollen nose.

“I’m going to ride you instead”

“I've changed my mind” you declared, and Charles looked like a kicked puppy, thinking you weren't up for sex anymore.

You slipped out of your drees and dropped it somewhere to your left as you looked at Charles seductively.

His cock twitched and you smirked, helping him lay down sideways on the couch as you slid his underwear off.

You’d been soaked since he ran into the pole (you were probably going to hell for that) so the slide was delicious as you straddled his hips and sank down on him slowly.

The lack of prep made him feel huge inside you and you moaned when his hips bucked involuntarily.

Once you were ready, you lifted off of him and slowly sank back down again.

The drag of his cock against your walls was pure heaven as you hadn't had time to fully indulge in your boyfriend since he'd been back.

You started a slow but demanding pace as you rode him exactly as he liked, and his hand flew to your hip to help ground himself.

Your hands went to his bloody chest to help stabilize you and you ended up smearing the blood further all over his skin.

“You're so hot like this, baby” you purred, Charles was already half gone, completely caught up in the pleasure of your tight cunt around him.

“Charles look at me”

He did. Those sea green eyes gazed at you heatedly as you bounced on him as if your life depended on it.

He was still holding the ice pack to his face with his other hand, and you decided to rip the corner off and take an ice cube out.

His confusion was evident on his face, but you just grinned evilly at him as you swirled the ice around one of his nipples.

He half yelped, half whined as it made contact, the cold making him shiver.

You ran the cube down his abs, following the trail of blood and smearing it even more, before going back up and teasing his other nipple with it until it melted completely.

His hips twitched involuntarily as his head swam with lust at your actions and when you leant down to suck on one of his nipples he cried out.

The heat of your mouth straight after the cold ice sent his body into overdrive and he started mumbling and begging you for release.

You felt pretty on edge yourself so you brought a hand down to circle your clit expertly while mouthing at Charles' other nipple.

“I'm not stopping you Charles, come for me if that's what you need” you mumbled against his skin and that was it for him.

His hips slammed into yours as he orgasmed, making you see stars as you reached your own peak and you rode each other's highs out like that, hips rolling against each other until you were sated.

“I think we both need a shower now” he said and you giggled as he lifted you up effortlessly and walked you over to the bathroom, him still inside you to avoid leaking cum all over the place.

The hot water of the shower stung his wounds, but it washed away all the blood and cum from your bodies as you basked in the heat together.

Once you were both thoroughly cleaned up, he carried you to bed and and curled up behind you, wrapping his arms around your middle and kissing your cheek goodnight.

“I love you” you mumbled sleepily after a couple of minutes.

“I love you too” his low grumble sounded behind you as he drifted in and out of sleep “and all your weird fucking kinks”

You both giggled like children and he squeezed you tightly. He was never letting go of you, even if it meant running into a few telephone poles now and then.

I am absolutely loving your Danyal Al Ghul au. While I have a soft spot for the whole plotline of Danny becoming his canon personality almost right after breaking away from the LOA all because of Jazz, I'm just as much for your take in which he goes through the same character development as Damian.

Now I'm curious. You already tackled his relationship with Dani, will you eventually take a stab at when he, Sam, and Tucker meet Gregor? Given that it's one of my hated episodes as I couldn't stand Sam's infuriatingly hypocritical attitude to Danny's suspicions of him, I'd kill to see your spin on it.

Aw, thank you! Danyal Al Ghul aus are what got me into DPDC first, so I have a major soft spot for them. That being said, uh, its exactly that soft spot that causes me to have Many Opinions about the trope you just mentioned. Like the trope is all fine and dandy, i don't blindly hate it, my main issue with it is that most aus i've seen treat his backstory as an ex-assassin more like a pretty cosmetic accessory rather than something that actually should have had an impact on him. Especially if he remembers being in the league.

Like i cannot stress enough the fact that being in an ecofascist assassin cult (regardless of his standing in it) should've left him, in some way or another, screwed up morally and psychologically because that's just how development works. Nature vs. Nurture is like a game of tug-o-war that never ends, where they are constantly fighting against each other and one side usually has the upper hand or greater influence. Children model the behaviors of the adults around them (ex: bobo the clown doll experiment), and what impacts them in childhood can stick with them permanently.

Like how my psychology professor put it: a baby's brain is like wet cement; if you slap your hand on it, it leaves an imprint, and the cement dries that way. The same rings true for small children.

I could go on, but I frankly have so many thoughts on that alone that I would end up completely derailing from the second half of your ask, and I don't want to be more critical than I already have. Especially since you just mentioned you have a soft spot for the trope.

[Okay, hold onto your hats because this is long. Naturally lmao.]

Gregor! Man, I'll admit I last watched the show back in middle school on a dodgy illegal website (it had surprisingly good audio and visual graphics, and full episodes. But really annoying porn ads.) but I only made it to like season 1 before my hyperfixation faded and I lost interest. So I never actually saw the Gregor episode.

But... it is relatively easy to find free websites that stream Danny Phantom :), so finding the episode took me like. Thirty seconds. Plus the Tv.Tropes recap page because my damn earbuds just died and im out in public as of rn.

I'm not sure if I'll write something for the gregor episode like I did with Dani, since Dani's a bit of a special case in that she's a clone and tends to be a reoccurring presence in DPDC, and I thought the new dynamic with Danyal would be interesting.

Plus, I'm not a big amethyst ocean shipper for the pure reason of I'm just not all that interested in it; its kinda bland to me. I'll admit I've entertained the thought in this au due to the whole balcony scene i wrote, but I would've entertained the thought anyways if it was Tucker in that position instead. Big multishipper, me.

But, if I had to make it official? Danyal is not interested romantically in Sam when the Gregor episode happens, regardless of his relationship with Valerie. Who, speaking of I'm trying to think about how that would go, and I'm torn between including him almost-dating Valerie or not.

Because on one hand it helps point out Sam's hypocrisy (and i love her but i am always happy to point out her flaws and address them in au) in this episode in terms of Danny spying on them, but on the other hand I'll want to include a lot of set up in order to make Gray Ghost work in this au and wow will that take a while.

Especially with the Flirting with Disaster episode because it happens due to Technus' meddling, and Danny is, well, the son of the Batman? A trained assassin? An ex-assassin nonetheless, but still an assassin? A prodigy child in this au? He might not have needed to use most of his skills in the last few years, but like... there's just a bunch of 'what if' and 'well technically...' and 'would he? he could, but would he?' things that is getting in the way of my thought process and making my head spin.

.

Mmm. Okay. Flirting with Disaster occurs relatively the same as canon with a few exceptions; like Danyal noticing the strange coincidences, and he might take the idea into proper consideration because Sam has a point it is strange, especially out of nowhere.

However,,, he really enjoys Valerie's company, and he does really like her. He's been adjusting to civilian life for the last four years and while he's made a lot of progress, he's still. an ex-assassin child living like a wolf amongst sheep. This is normal, typical teenager stuff, and usually his friends like to encourage him doing normal teenager stuff.

So he's stubbornly holding out on the thought that this is normal, that ghost stuff isn't interfering here. He's a little hurt that his friends are discouraging this, he's not bothered by the fact that Valerie is a ghost hunter and he a ghost -- his mother is an assassin, and his father is Batman, and they still had a relationship. (Granted, he's not gonna tell them that)

If anything, being diametrically opposed to each other but still being in love is part of the family! Granted, usually both parties are aware of said opposition to each other, but he'll make a special exception this time around.

(And man now that i'm thinking about gray ghost, im now thinking about various like. scenes i could write between the two of them. maybe in a reblog.)

Anyways uhhh things relatively go the same as canon. Yeah. I think Sam still has a crush on Danny and still spies out of jealousy with Tucker.

.

Now, the Gregor episode! With that out of the way; the TVTropes recap for this episode isn't the best because it doesn't go into detail about the entire episode like it does with Flirting With Disaster and Shades of Gray.

(which i looked at earlier because I made a section of this post talking briefly about what changes I'd make to the Shades of Gray episode to help set up Gray Ghost, but ended up deleting because it was kinda irrelevant for the matter at hand.)

So I'm taking in bits of the episode clips at a time, I'll try not to get too nitpicky about how each scene goes because then it's gonna take me a longer time to write this.

But! First thing's first; since Danny is not romantically interested in Sam, he is also not jealous of Gregor. He is however, a bit eyebrow-raisey at him in their first introduction, but that's because Gregor is coming off as obnoxious.

Danny thinks he's kinda annoying, and it doesn't take a genius to see that Gregor is trying to impress Sam. But since they've only known him for five minutes he takes the good faith assumption and assumes that Gregor is genuinely trying to show interest in Sam's interests too because he likes her, so he keeps mum. The fake hungarian accent is weird, but it's overall harmless, so he doesn't point it out.

He does do the spying thing when he starts suspecting that Gregor might be working for the GIW. The episode only has this happen twice, but for the au this happens a handful of more times over the course of the week, with Danyal's suspicion steadily rising more and more each time.

Hah, when he brings up wanting to spy on Sam and Gregor because of this reason, Tucker still does his "woah! you wanna spy on Sam?" thing.

Danny immediately turns to him, completely unimpressed, and crosses his arms. "Tucker," he says, deadpan, "you and Sam spied on me and Valerie."

He uses a combination of his ghost powers and his regular stealth ability to spy on them. He's hiding in a tree when they're skipping rocks, close enough that he can use his powers to hear them talk but far enough away that he has a good view of their surroundings.

He's invisible in the cinema, but doesn't accidentally get in front of the projector. He checks the inside of the room for the GIW, and then waits outside the actual room itself, keeping an eye on the area and occasionally flying in to watch the movie out of boredom. It reminds him of being back on a recon mission with the League, but it doesn't end with him orchestrating someone's death.

Then when they're at the mall he stays in human form, blending in with the crowd. He runs into the GIW there, but realizes that they're not there because of Gregor; they're just shopping. They didn't show up at either of the last two locations, and he follows them to make sure they're not also trying to blend in. But they're literally just there for shopping.

Danny is rather pleased with this turnout; so far Gregor isn't a spy, he's just annoying. The next day at lunch he asks Sam how her date with Gregor went, and that's how she figures out he spied on them, because well, she didn't tell him that.

"Have you been spying on me?"

Danny messes with his food a little bit, and Tucker is sinking into his seat with embarrassment. He frowns, "Only last night. Those incompetent government dodos--"

His lip curls up; he gets all 'Shakespeare-y' (as Sam and Tucker put it) when he's insulting someone, "--kept appearing whenever Gregor did. I followed you and him last night to make sure he wasn't a spy."

A roundabout way of saying, "I was worried".

Sam is, as canon, furious. Danny understands why, he knows generally speaking that people don't like being spied on. But he's confused on just how angry she is, and is a little irritated by it.

"Why would you do that!" She exclaims, "That's way out of line, Danny."

"How? You spied on me when I was going on dates with Valerie." He narrows his eyes, and points his fork at her, "I'm not blind, I noticed."

"That's different, we told you why we were suspicious. And we don't have ghost powers like you do."

"I don't need ghost powers to sneak around, Sam, you've seen this firsthand. And I just told you why I followed you, I thought he was working with the guys in white--"

"So you think someone can only be interested in me if they're after you?" (this is a paraphrased quote, folks ;D)

"No! If that was the case I would have voiced my concern the moment I thought it. I don't get why you're so angry, you spied too."

Iiits.... a mess. Sam storms off with Gregor, Tucker tags along because okay, yeah, maybe Gregor isn't with the GIW, or maybe last night was a fluke. Either way he ends up tagging along. Danny overhears that conversation between the GIW and Mr. Lancer, and maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong; but something is up.

I've gotten to that scene in the locker room where Gregor tells Danny that he knows he doesn't like him, and I've paused at Danny's reply to say this: Danyal doesn't even bother trying to deny it.

"I know you do not like me."

"You're right; I don't."

"Ah, let me finish. I know you do not like me because you want to protect your friend, Sam, and I respect that."

"...That's correct."

"Good! Because I am going to ask her out."

"I had a feeling you'd say that," he stands up, claps his hand tight on Gregor's shoulder, and leans close to him with a threatening smile, "so you understand me when i say; if you break my best friend's heart, you're as good as dead, right?"

"Ah,, yes. I am so glad we got that cleared out of the way, and now I hope after we can.. how you Americans put it, hang out?"

In the episode he hugs Danny and gives him a la bise (which is that french greeting where you kiss someone on the cheek two or more times) after they end their conversation. But here, when he goes to do that to Danyal, Danny leans away, points an accusatory finger at him, and says; "Absolutely not; we are not close."

The next scene after that is like, end of day. Sam, Tucker, and Gregor walking away. Sam looks over her shoulder to glare at Danny, then gets forlorn. Tucker looks back and just looks forlorn.

(When did I start narrating each scene?? Eh, I'm writing this in brief spurts of time throughout the day. Don't fix what's not broke)

After that there's this whole scene with the two GIW agents that have been chasing Phantom all episode. They're there because they have Tucker's PDA that Skulker took, and it's got the information of their purple backed gorilla assignment on it. They've been going around seeing who Tucker associates with in hopes of catching Phantom.

Uhh ahaha and that is where this gets a little interesting imo, and also allows me to mention that im retconning Danyal's (already) redesigned ghost form. Which I've wanted to retcon even before this moment bc it was just too busy. I'll get to that in a moment.

The GIW suspect Gregor for being the Phantom because of his white hair and green eyes, which is all fine and dandy until you remember: Danyal (and by extension Phantom) has that very noticeable, rather identifiable facial scar that goes across the middle of his fucking face. The GIW could easily suspect that Phantom hides his scar with makeup if he's in disguise, but if they meet a kid with a seemingly identical facial scar and similar disposition? Hoo boy.

Solution? I've got two: Gregor is canonically a kid from Michigan who faked everything to impress Sam. Considering he knows she's gothic and knows that she's ultra-recyclo vegetarian? He probably watched her from afar or got information on her somehow. His hair is dyed, his eyes might just naturally be green, but if he notices that she's got a crush on either Danyal or Phantom? A little sfx makeup could help him recreate a similar looking scar.

My second solution that's gonna happen anyways bc its that suit redesign; Danyal does hide his face as Phantom. Ghosts are emotional creatures and its a popular headcanon that their interests, ambitions, etc, influence the way they look as a ghost, not just their death. A big reoccurring theme of my au is that Danyal did not leave the League unscathed, and that being an assassin is an important part of his identity.

So i'm discarding the hazmat suit look entirely and leaning into the 'assassin' thing. But the general (stylized) feel is like, white ribbon/cloth vambraces that he has used as a garrote at some point, a hood, a gaiter scarf-type thing. I'm keeping the cape. I did a doodle a few days back that's not the official redesign, but a redesign for Phantom. I may reblog this post with that attached because it's got the general feel down. There's very little white involved, but the inside of his cape flares out and looks like the night sky.

Now, the hood and gaiter scarf gets rid of most of the problem, but Danny's hood doesn't stay on all the time, so the GIW have likely seen the upper half of the scar. :] Gregor's own drawn-on scar doesn't have to be 1:1, but it looks close enough, right? A small scar cutting through the edge of his brow and ends right below the corner of his eye. A 'cool, badass' one opposed to Danny's 'garish' scar.

But! Back to the episode scene. Canon Danny gets written off as being 'too prepubescent' to be Phantom, and honestly it'd be hilarious if Danyal was written off for the same reason (he's calling them idiots in his head if they do). But instead -- leaning into the GIW's incompetence here -- he gets written off as being too mature or too talkative. Or something equally as absurd.

Sam breaks up with Gregor for canon reasons, but when Gregor does his "i really like you, but, come on-!" and gestures to tucker, he adds on "and that scary friend of yours too, seriously!"

Things go relatively the same as canon after that. Danny does end up apologizing for spying, however. Sam does it first. Sorrows, prayers, all that.

.

Things usually end up changed or different when I actually write it down, so I'd likely add more or adjust different scenes according to the flow of the oneshot. This is just like, a general vibe of how things would go, and where some of the more obvious changes would be if I did write this oneshot.

Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for the ask :]

Could you do a Daniel blurb where reader and Daniel are watching Bluey's new special The Sign with the girls and at the end Daniel is pure mess with the ending of the special more than the girls

Note: my little cousin only told me a few bits of the episode so I had to go watch it and I'm all 🥹

"Wait for me, I want to watch it too!", Daniel called as he walked down the stairs and joined you in the living room, sitting on Sophia's right side.

"Mummy was about to press start", Alice said as she sat to your left, leaving her sister sandwiched between you and Daniel.

You pressed play and laughed along with the episode when you saw fit, "I swear, if you had to be one of them, you'd be Muffin", Daniel pinched your shoulder.

"Really? I always thought of myself more of a Bingo person", you reasoned.

"Nop, you're Muffin, love - anything on your mind just goes right out! The way she yelled "Police!" and then "think fast!" was all you", he teased.

"But mummy never makes a mess like that!", Sophia argued as the screen showed how much Muffin wanted a cup holder for the drink and how it spilled all over the car.

"You just don't know the mummy the way I know", Daniel winked at your daughter while you shook your head.

"That did sound like you, mummy! You just don't say "Go, Bobo!", you say "Go Danny!" when daddy is driving really fast on track", Alice cheekily pointed out.

When the episode finished, you looked at both girls as their eyes were still on the screen, "Did you like it, girls?", you asked as you pulled them closer to you.

"Yes, it was such a nice ending!", Alice cheered.

"I'm glad Bluey and Bingo don't have to move!", Sophia said before looking at Daniel, "But daddy might need some comfort too, mummy - I think he's crying", she whispered.

"Danny, love, are you okay?", you wondered, rubbing his back softly.

"Things are really meant to be sometimes, you know? The dogs with no eyes had to use the coin Bluey left so they could find their perfect house and then they had the realtor call Dad because they didn't want their house anymore! And Dad was very good at making sure his family is happy because they stayed back - did you see their happy dances in their empty bedroom?", Daniel wiped his eyes, "and the way the parents wag their tails as if they're communicating with them?".

"It's okay, daddy, it was a happy ending", Alice climbed out of the sofa and cuddled Daniel's right side as Sophia did the same, hoping they would comfort him.

"I know it was, daddy is just very happy for them", Daniel offered.

"I need the bathroom", Alice mumbled before Sophia said she needed it too, making them leave you and Daniel in the living room alone.

"These cartoons really pull on your heartstrings, don't they?", you chuckled while your husband pulled you into a cuddle, hiding his face in your neck and kissing you there.

(Thank you for sending this in ✨️)

In Coraline, there’s a recurring theme with names and identity, and I personally don't think it's talked about enough. 

(As a note, this is dealing largely with the book, not the movie, although there are some hints of this theme in the movie as well)

Coraline’s neighbors constantly get her name wrong, calling her “Caroline” and not “Coraline”, to which she persistently corrects them. Despite her attempts, they never get it right, until chapter 10, in which Mr Bobo (Mr Bobinsky) finally gets it right.

"It's Coraline, Mister Bobo," said Coraline. "Not Caroline. Coraline." "Coraline," said Mr Bobo, repeating her name to himself with wonderment and respect. "Very good, Coraline."

It should be noted that, until this chapter, Coraline did not know Mr Bobo’s name either. In fact, it had never even occurred to her that he had a name. Up until then, she had just been thinking of him as “the crazy old man upstairs”, not as a person with a name. This moment, with her learning his name and him getting her name right, is a moment of genuine understanding and connection between the two, humanizing them both to each other.

Coraline’s other neighbors get her name wrong, which is representative of them not listening when she says anything, really, such as her telling Miss Spink and Forcible that her parents are missing and them literally not even acknowledging it at all??

"How are your dear mother and father?" asked Miss Spink. "Missing," said Coraline. "I haven't seen either of them since yesterday. I'm on my own. I think I've probably become a single child family." "Tell your mother that we found the Glasgow Empire press clippings we were telling her about. She seemed very interested when Miriam mentioned them to her." "She's vanished under mysterious circumstances," said Coraline, "and I believe my father has as well." "I'm afraid we'll be out all day tomorrow, Caroline lovely," said Miss Forcible. "We'll be staying with April's niece in Royal Tunbridge Wells."

Mr Bobo gets her name right after being corrected (only after being corrected alongside her using his name, mind you, showcasing her making an effort to listen to and understand him as well), which is representative of him actually making an attempt to listen and understand her. This point is further illustrated by a conversation Coraline had with the Other Mr Bobo in chapter 10.

As Coraline entered he began to talk. "Nothing's changed, little girl," he said, his voice sounding like the noise dry leaves make as they rustle across a pavement. "And what if you do everything you swore you would? What then? Nothing's changed. You'll go home. You'll be bored. You'll be ignored. No one will listen to you, not really listen to you. You're too clever and too quiet for them to understand. They don't even get your name right."

He equates those in the real world not getting Coraline’s name right with them not listening to her, and fundamentally not understanding who she is. So, somebody getting her name right, then, shows them actually listening to her, and being willing to understand who she is.

The mice in the real world know more than they should be able to know, and they also get Coraline’s name right.

"The message is this. Don't go through the door." He paused. "Does that mean anything to you?" "No," said Coraline. The old man shrugged. "They are funny, the mice. They get things wrong. They got your name wrong, you know. They kept saying Coraline. Not Caroline. Not Caroline at all."

They seem to know about the other world, somehow, on some level, and the dangers it presents. Them getting her name right represents them knowing more than they should know, more than they are told. Animals in general seem to have this type of quality in Coraline, actually.

The cat does not have a name. It says so in chapter 4, that cats do not need names. It says that this is because cats know who they are. But humans need names, because they do not.

"Please. What's your name?" Coraline asked the cat. "Look, I'm Coraline. OK?" The cat yawned softly, carefully, revealing a mouth and tongue of astounding pinkness. "Cats don't have names," it said. "No?" said Coraline. "No," said the cat. "Now, you people have names. That's because you don't know who you are. We know who we are, so we don't need names."

The cat shook its head. "No," it said. "I'm not the other anything. I'm me." It tipped its head on one side; green eyes glinted. "You people are spread all over the place. Cats, on the other hand, keep ourselves together. If you see what I mean."

This shows that, in humans, names are connected to our identities and who we are. Names are used to individualize and distinguish ourselves from each other. But cats do not need names to recognize each other, or be recognized.

"Oh. It's you," she said to the black cat. "See?" said the cat. "It wasn't so hard recognising me, was it? Even without names."

With or without names, it is still the same cat.

During the Other Miss Spink and Forcible’s performance, in chapter 4, they begin quoting Shakespeare. The specific quotes that they use are interesting to me when looked at under this lens of the importance of names, especially Miss Forcible’s.

"What's in a name?" asked Miss Forcible. "That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

"I know not how to tell thee who I am," said Miss Spink to Miss Forcible.

Now, of course, this is just them quoting Shakespeare. But. Why these quotes specifically? They’re at the very least notable when discussing Coraline’s recurring theme of names. Especially the quote about the rose. It makes me think of what the cat said earlier, about how cats are sure of who they are so they don’t need names, about how Coraline didn’t need the cat’s name to be able to recognize it for who/what it was.

But, of course, this does not apply for humans. We need our names to be able to know ourselves, to be able to tell others who they are.

In chapter 6, Coraline wakes up and is disoriented. This disorientation is compared to the feeling one might experience upon being suddenly pulled out of a daydream. In this comparison, forgetting one’s name is equated with forgetting who one is and where one is.

Sometimes Coraline would forget who she was while she was daydreaming that she was exploring the Arctic, or the Amazon rainforest, or darkest Africa, and it was not until someone tapped her on the shoulder or said her name that Coraline would come back from a million miles away with a start, and all in the fraction of a second have to remember who she was, and what her name was, and that she was even there at all. Now there was the sun on her face, and she was Coraline Jones. Yes.

The ghost children have also forgotten their names, and with it most of who they were. In chapter 7, when Coraline is locked behind the mirror in the Other World, one of the ghost children says that names are the first things that one forgets after death.

"Who are you?" whispered Coraline. "Names, names, names," said another voice, all faraway and lost. "The names are the first thing to go, after the breath has gone, and the beating of the heart. We keep our memories longer than our names. I still keep pictures in my mind of my governess on some May morning, carrying my hoop and stick, and the morning sun behind her, and all the tulips bobbing in the breeze. But I have forgotten the name of my governess, and of the tulips too." "I don't think tulips have names," said Coraline. "They're just tulips." "Perhaps," said the voice sadly. "But I have always thought that these tulips must have had names. They were red, and orange-and-red, and red-and-orange-and-yellow, like the embers in the nursery fire of a winter's evening. I remember them."

The ghost children may have their memories, but they have largely forgotten who they were. They may remember their tulips, and certain strong memories, but there is very, very little left of them, and they have forgotten who they once were, they have forgotten their names.

"That is why we could not leave here, when we died. She kept us, and she fed on us, until now we're nothing left of ourselves, only snakeskins and spider-husks. Find our secret hearts, young mistress."

"She will take your life and all you are and all you care'st for, and she will leave you with nothing but mist and fog. She'll take your joy. And one day you'll awake and your heart and soul will have gone. A husk you'll be, a wisp you'll be, and a thing no more than a dream on waking, or a memory of something forgotten."

The Other Mother stole their hearts and their souls and their selves. She stole who they were away from them, their identities and names and the names of those they loved, leaving nothing in her wake.

The same ghost that talked about the tulips and the names of the tulips struggles to answer when Coraline asks their gender, as well, and when they do eventually give an answer they seem somewhat unsure of it, as shown by the word choice of “perhaps” and “I believe”

"A boy, perhaps, then," continued the one whose hand she was holding. "I believe I was once a boy." And it glowed a little more brightly in the darkness of the room behind the mirror.

(I personally take this quote, specifically it "glow[ing] a little more brightly" after coming to this conclusion, to mean either that the ghost is happy at realizing that he was once a boy, or even to mean that he has become somewhat more tangible upon this realization; upon remembering something about his self, and his identity.)

As an aside, it's noteworthy to me that we never learn the Other Mother’s true name. She is simply “The Other Mother” and “The Beldam.” Never is an actual name applied to her, only titles. We do not truly know who, or what, she is. Beings without names are shrouded in mystery (or should i say mist-ery). The ghost children are benevolent mysterious beings, the cat is an ambivalent-leaning-helpful mysterious being, and the other mother is a distinctly malevolent mysterious being.

"Who are you?" asked Coraline. "I'm your other mother," said the woman.

"She?" "The one who says she's your other mother," said the cat. "What is she?" asked Coraline. The cat did not answer, just padded through the pale mist beside Coraline.

But in conclusion, names in Coraline are extremely important. I’m sure there’s probably more that I'm missing, and feel free to add onto this, but basically—

People need names to know and remember who they are, and forgetting one’s name is the first step to losing the rest of who one is. Names humanize a person; with a name, they are less shrouded in mystery, more clear.

Knowing somebody's name helps one connect to and better understand that person; it is the first step in getting to know them and see them as a full person, the transition from “the crazy man upstairs” to “Mr Bobo”. Names, to people at least, are one of the fundamental building blocks of who we are.

will not shut up about how bluey's 30 min episode gave us so much more lore and references to the real world

the writes really made so much literal and euphemistic use of the word "sign" in this episode

FRISKY AND RAD'S WEDDING!!!! in the iconic heeler house!!

bandit's bully bucky dunstan being the real estate agent selling his house

English sheepdog buying the bluey house (emigration - would be nicer if they got english voice actors to voice them though)

the bluey house was actually for sale on an Australian real estate website! and as per the time of writing this post, it's been "withdrawn from sale" - the bluey digital marketing team AMAZES ME.

I wonder which city bandit got a new job in - don't know if they'll explore that in future seasons

also they got mort and maynard to come attend the wedding too!!

frisky's father is a typical surfer dude lmao

we see trixie standing amongst the girls during the bouquet toss. and then we see stripe come in to intercept the toss. does this mean that stripe and trixie are not married yet and have just been cohabitating? stripe grabs the bouquet and celebrates, but we see trixie face palm... what does this mean??

love the photo montage and the huge family photo, how it shows that you can't get everybody to be ready for the photo

AFTERPARTY

GRANDPA BOB WENT TO INDIA TO FIND HIMSELF 😭 man needed spiritual rediscovery

the busker is the music dj too!!

uh oh... stripe and trixie are fighting... perhaps it was about the bouquet toss? and we see socks playing with the cake toppers - possibly mimicking her parents actions

they brought back the music from dance mode!

NANA AND BOB FLOSSING!!!

chattermax randomly appearing 😭

bingo getting stuck in the railing again

bingo being sad because she has to move and lila won't be able to follow. which is also the moment I realised they won't be moving in the end, because of the montage at the end of daddy drop-off episode where bingo and lila grow up together and be friends "forever and ever and ever"!

the 2 English sheepdogs pushing their fluff away from their eyes to see haha

THEM SEEING WINTON'S DAD'S HOUSE WITH A POOL WHICH IS FOR SALE BECAUSE THEYRE MOVING IN WITH THE TERRIERS AND THEIR MOTHER!! THEY ALL FIT IN ONE CAR!!!

seeing the iconic bluey house empty, with spots where furniture used to be somehow makes me feel a little empty and nostalgic

the montage of them saying goodbye to their old neighbours, bandit having one last chat with pat, the girls and chilli saying goodbye to judo and her mum

Judo still has short hair!

chilli reminiscing the kitchen because bluey took her first steps there

WHO SANG THAT SONG IN THE END PLEASE RELEASE IT LUDO STUDIOS

THE SHEEPDOGS WENT BACK ON THEIR DECISION TO BUY BLUEYS HOUSE TO BUY WINTON'S DAD HOUSE

you can tell how much chilli didn't want to move as she was the first one out of the car running over to hug him when she realised bandit didn't want to sell the house anymore. and the shoulder shakes shows that she was fully sobbing too

iconic kiwi rug! loved the simplicity of the last scene, where even if there's nothing around you, as long as you're together with the people you love, eating the simplest meal, enjoying the moment, that's family.

fuckboy!gyuvin would def take u in an empty classroom. nililigawan niya si ate!reader, which is his senior of 2 years, but ayaw siya sagutin ni y/n kasi she thinks he's not mature enough or a kid who just fucks around. he overhears y/n telling her friends how gyuvin is probs shitty at bed and fuck girls for his own orgasm. gyuvin feels determined to prove her wrong and takes her to an empty to show her how sex to him is give and take (waha this time he has a big dick AND knows how to use it)

needless to say y/n cums more than once and squirts on him too :p

fuck boy!gyuvin and ate/noona!reader makes me feel so many things, pakiramdam ko para akong worm na pagulong gulong lang HEH also so sorry this took so long, i didn't know paano isulat but i hope the lengthy drabble makes up for it!

fuckboy!gyu na laging hinahabol si ate is so real, always wanting to be around her, chasing after her like a child asking for candy. he just likes trailing behind her though she doesn't exactly like having gyuvin chase after her because of his fuck boy antics. she just thinks he's too young for her and that all that he thinks of is probably sex and is most likely shitty in bed.

when he heard those words she spewed to her friends, gyuvin was indeed determined to make her cry and moan, only wanting to hear his name slip out from her lips as he's plowing into her pussy from behind, pushing her against a table.

gyuvin turns cocky when he hears her beg him for more, moaning out his name, nearly screaming it for the other students to hear outside. he uses his huge cock to prove his point that he isn't shitty in bed and that he can actually use it to make ate cry to which she does end up sobbing as she's begging for gyuvin to fuck her harder and to make her cum.

he does just that, fucking her hard until she cums without warning, walls spasming around gyuvin's cock which has him groaning, "ate please, lalabasan ako agad niyan. we don't want that to happen, i'm still not done with you." gyuvin grunts as he holds onto her waist tightly, forcefully fucking her faster and harder before he cums into her cunt, filling her up which has her moaning out loud, sighing in content when her cunt is filled up with gyuvin's cum.

gyuvin abruptly pulls out before kneeling down in front of her ass, stuffing his face into her ass before licking her cunt up, quote unquote cleaning her up before making her cum only by using his tongue and his fingers, prying the cum out of her cunt before she cums all over his mouth and fingers.

he stands up behind her once more and fucks her in an animalistic pace, making her cry out loud, voice bouncing against the walls as he grips her waist tightly, pulling her towards him as he's thrusting.

at this point, all ate could scream or moan was gyuvin's name, no longer knowing what else to moan or ask for as he's fucking her hard, indeed proving his point that he isn't a shitty fucker.

minutes later, she cums again unannounced around gyuvin's cock once more, making him turn all cocky before he then shoots cum into her, fucking her through her orgasm before she suddenly starts squirting, bullets of tears streaming down her face as she shakes like a leaf underneath gyuvin who groans at the feeling of her squeezing his cock out of her pussy, making a mess around both hers and his lower halves.

"ano ate? bobo ba kumantot?" gyuvin asks, rubbing her hip as she shakes. he sees her shake her head, making him smile smugly.

Rex Salazar x Falin chimera like reader. Been watching delicious in dungeon lately and love your spin on like reader inserts so I would love to see what you do with this pairing. :-)

Dungeon Meshi is AWESOME! I'm in!

Rex Salazar x Falin! Reader

Genre: Headcanons

Reader: female

Warnings: typical canon violence, Van Kleiss, mainly Fluff.

• Sometimes the reader missed how things were before. Before the nanite event, before all the weird stuff. But at the same time, those times were now so unfamiliar to her, that her present felt almost...normal.

• First of all, reader was simply happy with her life in the countryside, exploring caves, and encountering the strangest creatures possible in the forest. Just for fun.

• Sure, that didn't make her very popular among people, but it wasn't something relevant to her. As long as the reader was happy, that was all that mattered.

• That was something that still remained, reader decided to go live more in the city for the safety of her family and farm pets, but she still had her customs that people found strange.

• How to collect objects that she found on the street that she considered interesting, such as gears, amulets, stones with strange shapes, etc.

• The people of the city knew her, a strange, but charming girl. That sometimes he would just disappear for long periods of time, and come back out of nowhere. It was something inexplicable, but she won people's hearts with her kindness.

• It was not known if she went to school or not, but she definitely had a high level of intelligence, although that was not the strangest thing, the strange thing was the physical ability she had despite being someone who did not play sports.

• Some swore they could see a flash of savagery in the reader's eyes every time she showed that strength. There was something about her that wasn't right.

• However, it was not what Rex noticed with the naked eye. Probably because when he met her it was when he fell from a great height facing an EVO and landed right in front of her. the cure to the EVO! But it was definitely very damaged.

• The first thing Rex saw as a reader was how she threw some cold water on his face to make sure he was alive and had even put some adhesive band-aids on him.

• At first Rex was a little upset, but when he remembered what happened and understood what the reader did, he was grateful and they talked a little (after all, Rex wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was already in the city and not have to go back to Providence so soon)

• Rex and reader had a pleasant afternoon, and he left happy to have made something of a new friend.

• When Rex told Noah some time later, he was surprised to see how Noah almost seemed scared of this information. But this surprise turned into disappointment when he learned the reason, the reader's supposed “reputation” of being a weirdo.

• Honestly it wasn't something that Rex cared about, for the love of God, HE IS AN EVOS WHO CURE EVOS, even if reader could be involved in something suspicious, nothing could be weirder than that!

• (REX WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE SURPRISE THAT WAS IN THE FUTURE)

• The next few times Rex ran into Reader, he was able to see for himself her somewhat strange habits, but it wasn't something he couldn't handle, on the contrary, he thought they were funny. Sometimes he even brought her things from providence just to see her reaction.

• There were times when Rex offered the reader to go to Providence, but she seemed to reject the idea, almost seemed scared (which, fair enough, Providence can be terrifying for civilians, so he didn't press the issue).

• Reader sometimes brought Rex knick-knacks as gifts, bears she made out of interesting objects she found (like an ornament with gears or an amulet “doll”), which, while unusual, we're talking about REX, who He rarely receives gifts, so you can bet he would DIE for these odds and ends.

• There were times (which Rex HATED) when Bobo would join his get-togethers with the reader, and would not stop making jokes about how they made a “very cute couple of lovebirds” (much to the reader's embarrassment and Rex's fury).

• There were times when Rex had to leave the reader in order to save the day, but she was always understanding and gave him a thumbs up wishing him luck.

• reader was willing to meet Noah! However, this ended badly…

• Noah couldn't help but feel that something was WRONG with reader, so when Rex invited him on an outing WITH READER he couldn't contain himself, and tried to get all the information possible out of him. Why did she constantly leave town? Was she interested in Rex in any way? Why doesn't anyone know anything about her?

• Rex cut Noah off before it could get worse, but the seed was sort of planted in Rex's head, he trusted the reader, but at the same time did he really know anything about her?

• Fortunately, it didn't take long until he got communication from the reader.

• Well, more like a message, where she said that he should go to a certain point outside the city, that way he would know why she is like that.

• Rex was…confused, but decided to go alone. He didn't even think that it could be something dangerous when he arrived at a completely abandoned and ruined place.

• Not at least, until he hears something crawling over his head.

• And when he looked up, he saw a gigantic red, scaly mass, with feathers and wings, that stretched for several meters. But that wasn't the most bizarre thing, the most bizarre thing was that the creature's head was the upper part of the reader's body.

• Rex tried to cure her, this was clearly the effect of the nanites, but every time he tried, “reader” sent him away with her massive tail. They were like this for a very good time. Rex didn't even notice when the sun rose. But he did notice when the reader's monstrous appearance changed again.

• And it looked so… painful.

• Rex took the reader to Providence after that, where she explained everything. It turns out that she used to be a member of the Pack, an EVO converted based on Van Kleiss's unstable nanites, which caused the reader to have to free that...thing from time to time, or she might die. But she didn't want to hurt people. That's why she run away.

• She wanted to stay away from Van Kleiss, so she made sure there was no information about her in this “new life.”

• (if Rex hated Van Kleiss before, well, now he despises him : ) )

• Rex fears hurting Reader by curing her of Van Kleiss' nanites, but Holiday assures him that they will find a way to help her safely. Until then, she can stay in providence.

• If we look at the relationship in general, it is very sweet.

• First of all, Rex would never, EVER reject the reader just because of her appearance, she didn't ask for the nanites (or Van Kleiss) to turn her into that, she chose not to hurt people, she is more than just the “monster.” and won't let her forget it.

• Probably, by protocol, they have to lock the reader somewhere in Providence during her transformations, during those days Rex stays next to the door of her cell and talks to her, it seems to calm her down.

• Speaking of, Rex is more than willing to beat the shit out of any idiot who thinks the reader is a threat or a freak. His fists are suitable for all audiences. ESPECIALLY Van Kleiss if he tries to convince the reader to return to her “family”

• Rex also tries to make the tests as least invasive as possible (especially when Caesar arrives and finds the reader “fascinating”)

• Rex probably gives the reader her own knick-knacks, things more elaborate with the metal trash that there is by providence, you can see how he tries to make it look good, it's adorable.

• TRIPS. IN. THE. MOTORBIKE.

• Although the reader controls herself enough in her chimera form, Rex is not against trying to fly with her.

• I imagine that while Rex is almost a mathematical genius, he definitely wouldn't do as well in subjects like literature or history, so reader is sort of like his tutor.

• Rex would definitely exaggerate his pain level after a mission just to get extra cuddles. I have no proof, but I have no doubt either.

• When will the reader be cured? Rex will be SO HAPPY :, ) and probably one of the first impulses he has when everything is over is to go on a date with a reader.

• Overall, two teenage mutants being sweet and good to each other.

Shares, reblogs and comments are very welcome!

spiderboy, miles morales x reader

part 1 ʚɞ part 2 ʚɞ part 3! ʚɞ part 4 ʚɞ part 5

pairing: earth 1610! miles morales x reader

chapter 3 synopsis: you and miles show up to peter’s party together and you get into a bit of an altercation.

wc: 2.0k

warnings!: cursing, harrassment, drugs and alcohol mentioned, kissing

Miles had gone home to change for the party and you sat in front of your mirror deciding what to do with your hair. You applied blush to your cheeks and did your lip combo. You decided on a half up half down look, letting a few stray braids fall to frame your face. Getting dressed, you took a moment to look at your outfit in the mirror.

You wore a black short sleeve crop top with the back cut out with a pair of mid rise wide leg jeans and a pair of adidas sambas on her feet. You decorated yourself in your bow necklace with a necklace that had a pearl as the pendant and a pair of gold earrings . You sprayed your 'Her Eau de Parfum' from Burberry and grabbed your essentials and your bag.

You scratched Bobo's head before heading to the living room. You grabbed your black puffer jacket from the coat rack as your mom perked up from the couch. "Have fun baby and please stay safe. Be home by 11:30 but I won't be home when you get back, I'm going out with Gabby so bring your keys" she informed you. "Okay mommy, I love you" you closed the door and head for the stairs. You and Miles decided to meet at the bodega down the street and head to the party together.

After walking two blocks, and you turned the corner  saw Miles inside talking to the man behind the counter. "Hey Miles" you said walking up behind him. "Hey Y/n" he said with a genuine smile on his face. "You look really really pretty" The compliment brought a cheeky grin to your face. "Thank you, you look really good too" You took your time to check him out. He wore a black t-shirt with baggy black jeans, his signature green bomber jacket and black cat jordans. "You wanna get anything before we go?" he asked. "Yeah gimme a sec" you said making your way to the candy aisle.

He watched intently as you browsed through, grabbing a snickers bar and heading the the fridges in the back to grab a drink. "So you like her huh" Lenny snorted, looking at him from behind his glasses. "What! Who said that?" he denied, Lenny not buying it. You made your way back to the counter to pay for her snickers, a cream soda, and a water. You dug into your purse to grab $5 before Miles stopped you. "No it's okay, I got it" He pulled out his wallet and gave Lenny the money before you could say any rebuttal. He opened the door for you and you grabbed the plastic bag. "You really didn't have to do that you know" she told him. "I wanted to" he shrugged.

You walked the couple blocks to the venue until you could hear the music bumping inside. "Jesus how is there no noise complaint yet" you joked trotting down the stairs to the entrance. "Deadass" Miles followed behind. You pulled out your phone to text Zoya that you were there. "She said to meet her in the back" you told the boy following closely behind you through the crowd of people.

Weaving through the bodies of people dancing and drinking and chatting, you wondered where Peter knew this many people from or where he got access to all this booze. Spotting Zoya's ginger hair that was now straightened and Maya with a cigarette in hand, you grabbed Miles' hand and pulled him through to your friends. "Hey bebe" Zoya threw her arms around your neck, giving you a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Z, hey Maya" you greeted the girls with a big smile. "See you brought a friend" Zoya teased. "Hey Miles" Zoya threw an arm around him, giving a small hug. "Yo Miles, Y/n" Peter called out walking up to the group. "So glad y'all came bruh" he dapped Miles up and gave you a hug before throwing his arm around Zoya.

"Yo, I got drinks over there but if you want something stronger, I got some stuff in a room back there" Peter offered taking a swig off Zoya's bottle. "I'm good" you said grabbing a cig from Maya while she lit it. "Want one?" Maya offered to Miles. "Nah I'm okay" he said. Peter took him to hang out with some guys they both knew.

"So you finally asked Miles out?" Zoya asked taking a hit from your cig. "No, just asked if he wanted to come with me" you answered. "N/n just ask him out! You so obviously like him and he might like you too. What's the damage?" she groaned. "You are way too interested in my love life bebe" you playfully retorted. "That's cause I need to make sure you're off the market so I don't leave Peter for you" she joked.

The three of you chat before heading out onto the floor to join the people dancing. Truth is, by now you were a little high. And it wasn't long before Peter came back and him and Zoya were in their own world. Miles tapped your shoulder to get your attention, he had looked a little high too, but he seemed to be fine. "You wanna dance?" you asked the boy grabbing his hands. "Yeah why not!" he shouted over the music.

Slowly his hands found their way onto your waist as you moved to the music. You threw your arms around his neck as you stared at each others' face. Your eyes flickered down to his lips as you eventually closed the gap between your bodies and held each other as you swayed back and forth. Miles' heart was racing being so close to you, he just hoped his hands weren't sweaty.

"I'm gonna go get a drink, do you want anything?" you got close to his ear to tell him. "No I'm alright" he nodded his head. "Okay i'll be right back" you walked over the table where there were bottles of beer and vodka scattered across. You poured yourself a cup of Smirnoff sorbet when a voice called out to you. "Yo what's up pretty girl"

You looked over and realized you didn't even recognize the guy. "Hey.." you awkwardly said back. "What you up to" he asked, leaning on the table. "Uh nothing just hanging like everyone else" you replied taking a sip of your drink before pouring more. "Aha yeah I guess you're right" you nodded and began walking back over to where Miles was when the guy stopped you. "You here with anybody?" his words were slurred, obviously drunk

"Just friends.." you answered. "Cool cool, you wanna dance?" he said getting off the table. "No thanks" you laughed off. "Ahh come on why not?" he pushed. "I just don't want to.." you awkwardly laughed. "Come onn" he said snaking his hand around your waist. "Dude, I said no!" you shouted pushing his hand off.

"What's your problem, bitch" he squeezed his hands tighter around your waist and pressed himself against you, making you drop your drink. "Yo what the fuck is wrong with you!" you yelled pushing him off finally. The commotion made some heads turn, watching the scene. "It ain't even that fucking serious-" Just then Miles showed up behind the guy. "Yo what's your problem man" he pulled him back away from you .

"Oh this your bitch?" the guy laughed. "Nah but I'd appreciate it if you stopped calling her that and backed the fuck up" Miles said, getting a push from the boy. "She fucking ugly anywa-" he was cut off receiving a hit to the side of the face from Miles. He rubbed a finger under his nose as blood began to pour out.

He ran up and pushed Miles making Miles come back at him again pushing him the the ground. "I said to back the fuck up!" Miles shouted at him, ready to strike again. Miles wasn't one to get violent, but this asshole was bothering you so he of course had to get rough.

"Miles chill!" you shouted taking his hand and pulling him back. The guy got up from the ground ready to hit Miles before Peter and another boy came and pulled him back. "Nahhh you gotta go bro. Go get the fuck outta here!" Peter shouted pushing him towards the doors. "Whatever bruh fuck this lame ass shit" he grumbled purposely hitting Miles' shoulder on the way out.

"Y/n you okay?" Zoya and Maya said frantically coming to hug and comfort you. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. It's cool" you brushed off. You looked at Miles and sA the distraught look on his face. "Thanks..for that." you said taking him into your arms. He slowly hugged back, wrapping his arms around your torso "Y-yea, Don't worry. That guy was a fucking dickhead. You okay?" he pulled back. "Yeah" you nod yourhead. "Peter, sorry for messing up your party." you said wrapping your arms behind you. "Nah n/n, it was that dumb fuck. Party's still jumping though" he brushed off handing you a new cup.

Another hour passed of drinking and dancing, before you got a text from your mom 'you heading home yet?' You checked the time to see it was 11:40. "Guys, I think I'm g-gonna go home now" you told the group, taking another sip from your cup "Alright well there's no way you're walking home alone" Zoya said taking the cup from you. "I can walk her home" Miles suggested. "Are you sure, you're not drunk too are you?" Zoya made sure. "Sobered up" he assured. Zoya gave you a bear hug and a kiss on the cheek before you said your goodbyes to the rest of the group.

Miles held your hand as you maneuvered your way through the crowd of people and up the stairs. You weren't completely hammered but you were stumbling a bit so he wrapped an arm around your torso. "Thanks for walking me home, Miles" you said looking up at him. The way the street lights and and the moonlight were casting a shadow on his face it made him look even more attractive. Maybe Zoya was right, maybe you did have a little crush on him. "It's no problem, hermosa" he smiled down at you. You reached into your bag and grabbed the water you bought from earlier and gulped it down, your drunk catching up to you.

You got to your building and walked up the stairs, to the front door. You hugged him before going in "Thank you so much for everything tonight, seriously" you smiled at him. "Of course. Goodnight Y/n."

You stared into each other's eyes, before leaning closer. Miles' eyes flickered down to your lips and back to your eyes, seemingly asking for permission to kiss you. You answered by gently pressing your lips against his. He rest his hands against the back of your neck to deepen the kiss, still keeping it soft and relaxed. You pulled away and let out a sigh you each didn't know you were holding. "Goodnight Miles" you said with a smile you failed at hiding.

"Goodnight beautiful" he grinned walking off as you entered your apartment. The lights were off except for Bobo's night light by his cat tree which meant your mom probably wasn't home yet. You've never been more glad for your mom's absence so to not smell the alcohol on your breath and clothes. Bobo jumped down and rubbed his head against your leg, following you down the hallway.

Getting undressed, you threw your clothes in the hamper and hopped in the shower. You felt a headache creeping up on you as your lathered your body. You got out and brushed you teeth, getting rid of your makeup and washing your face. You put on your lotion and your lip balm, dressing in a pair of boy shorts and a tank top before climbing under you sheets, Bobo following curling up by the wall. You laid there for a second thinking about your night as a smile crept on your face. You had to tell Zoya.

Loving the foray back into Generator Rex stuff. I was obsessed with that show but honestly don't remember much that happened after Cesar showed up for the first time. I just remember being really upset that Six never got his memories back. Like SURE he accepts Rex's role in his life but the EXPERIENCES are gone from his memory now. That hurts.

It does. 😭

This isn't quite on topic, but this also gave me an idea for a little snippet. <3

.

Rex drummed his fingers against the leather cover of his journal, thinking.  It had been most of a year since he'd started writing in it, updating it whenever he could.  It was full of thoughts, feelings, speculation, copies of the incident reports White sometimes made him write out, memories from before he'd gotten the journal, summaries of training, dreams, rambling about friends, enemies, and fights, anything and everything that came to mind when he had a spare half hour a pen or a pencil, or when Holiday got on an education kick and wanted him to practice grammar or spelling or something.  

It was only half full.  Rex didn't have a whole lot of spare half hours.  He tried, though.  His interest in filling the journal up was backed at least partially by fear.  There was a lot that he really, desperately, wanted to know about himself, if he ever forgot again.  There was a lot he wanted to know about the people around him.  

There was a lot in the little book about White, Noah, Bobo, and Holiday.  

There was a lot about Six.  

Six, who had just forgotten everything himself.  

Six, who had given him the journal in the first place.  

Six, who had only lost his memory because Rex had been so impatient to test Caesar's machine.  

Okay, he knew that wasn't completely accurate, and he was hardly wallowing in guilt, or whatever.  If anything, he'd blame Caesar's invention skills and Six's weird propensity for stabbing machines instead of, like, going after something "upstream," or unplugging them.  

Rex could do a lot of things with machines, but lack of power was a stumbling block even for him.  

But, point was, Rex was delaying.  It should be easy to give this to Six.  To give him something about what he'd lost.  Rex owed him that much.  But the journal was so personal…  Rex hadn't written it expecting anyone else to ever read it.  Not even Six.  

It was hard.  

This whole thing was hard.  

(It wasn't fair.  Forgetting sucked.  Being forgotten sucked.  It all sucked.  He had a lot more sympathy for Caesar, now.)

He took a deep breath.  He wanted to give this to Six.  He wanted to share these memories with him.  He didn't want to be the only one who knew these things.  He didn't want to be the only one who remembered.  

Not when he might forget at any moment.  

He really wished Caesar's machine had worked.  Either time. 

He stood up and opened the door, journal still in his hand.  He second-guessed himself all the way to the lab, where Six was getting another check up, courtesy of Holiday.  

"Hey, um, what's up?" asked Rex, still not quite ready to make a decision.  

"My blood pressure, apparently," said Six, putting his glasses back on.  "I don't understand how this is more stressful than killing people for money."

"It isn't about stress," said Holiday, rolling her eyes.  "You're just six years older.  Bodies change.  What about you, Rex?  On the way to the Petting Zoo?  Or just checking in?"

"Uh," said Rex.  "Yeah.  The Petting Zoo."

"I still don't understand why it's called that," grumbled Six.  

"It's ironic," explained Holiday.  

"Anyway!" said Rex, loudly.  He walked up to Six and shoved the journal at him.  "I'm lending this to you.  I want it back by the end of the week, okay?  Don't let White see it, it's private."  One of the very few private things he had, actually.  Maybe that's why he was so scared.  "Okay!  Thanks!  Gotta go!  Bye!"

He ran.

.

Six drummed his fingers against the leather cover of the journal, thinking.  Long plane rides, even on jump jets, gave you a lot of time to think.  

It had been nearly seven months since Rex had given it to him.  Six since Rex had disappeared in that fight with Breach.  

It was high time he gave it back to him.  Even if he had to go through Providence to do it.

3x08 liveblog (probably objectively the best episode this season):

Visiting director? I wish I could tell if that was supposed to be someone we know… (Teddy Dimas)

Her baby boy : (

That guy (Oliver, I think) teetering on the edge of the building in the intro.

“I’ve been crashing with Theo for now.” Vibrating. I hope we get to see even 10 seconds (!!!) of that before this season’s over.

“I have a lot to figure out.” I’m so wondering if she suspects Tobert at all. I’m not sure if her trust in him feels out of character because she doesn’t actually trust him, or because we’re meant to think she’s not doing well.

The best parts of this season for me, someone who doesn’t care about theater, have been the time spent with the trio together and with minor characters we already know from previous seasons. So many shows keep trying to expand their universe when what they should really be doing is going deeper into themselves. I hope next season’s victim is an Arconia resident who makes that happen.

We could just assume Gregg was allowed to post bail, but actually I think kidnapping and attempted murder are just misdemeanors in this universe.

Great entrance from Detective Williams.

Who’s ‘they?’

I feel like Cliff and Donna, at least by themselves, are just too easy, but their reaction to the critic is pretty incriminating.

I like how the trio and Detective Williams are friends now.

Howard and his fanfic.

Usually I don’t really care about Howerd but I’m liking him this episode.

I’m fairly certain that isn’t a weighted blanket.

What will Loretta do to protect her child?

DW, probably: ‘wow, old friends really SHOULD be forgotten and never brought to mind.’

“You know killers sometimes insert themselves into investigations.” She totally suspects Tobert at least a little bit.

“Isn’t he like 50?” “Yeah, he’s a child.” That line makes me feel so many things.

Wouldn’t it be funny if it WAS Bobo and K.T.

🎶which of the Pickwick triplets did it🎵

The more episodes that pass, the more I think Ben and Co staged the poisoning/first death.

This IMovie editing is a little overwhelming to look at.

“What if none of it is true?” !!!!

Loretta’s gonna confess to protect Dickie, isn’t she?

I wish all the episodes of this season were this good.

“With Tobert’s GoPro, we recorded everything.” Yeah, what else did Tobert('s GoPro) record?

Redemption!

Donna starring into the camera is just as uncomfortable as it’s probably meant to be.

(I’m guessing Ben didn’t even drink his protein shake? ‘Fucking pig’)

That whole thing was so dramatic in the best way possible.

Not sure where I'm at with the Ben faking his own death theory after that. Need time to process.

[fruitbowlsngoals]

So uh- Crisis after a non descript little Guy au adventure , it's all silly , there are mentions of surgery but no gore! Have fun under the cut ↓

Crisis felt exhausted. Physically exhausted to be specific. Getting back to the lab she found herself collapsing into a familiar wheeled chair. She had plenty of notes on many people. The kids were most important along with Dr. Cross. When she had gotten there all of the children seemed fine outside of obvious things. Opening her notebook she sighs observing all the notes she'd taken of the universe.

Little William, or Sprite as Crisis has personally taken to calling him, was missing an eye and seemed to have scarring indicating he'd been bisected vertically. She simply didn't press any further than that, opting to give the kid a piggyback ride and talk about what she knew of ghosts and spirits upon his request.

Next was Little Dakota who she’d taken to calling Spark, held similar powers to Safeguard different injuries and an avoidance when taking about what happened just that he doesn't like doctors. After questioning he'd dragged Spark and herself off to meet the rest of their friends. Crisis notes that he does seem to have some form or separation anxiety and prefers not to get to far from any of the others unless necessary.

Little Virion Vyncent which she'd taken to calling trainee was excitable and very eager to grab at her magic items. Ultimately puppy dog eyes got to her and Crisis did end up parting with a particularly shiny bracelet that she seemed har little magical value.

Trick and little Ashe,the latter now noted as Fledgling ( she's not the best at names ) were Interesting in their own rights, Fledglings abilities that are sure to grow with the more they learn are already sharp and they don't show any prowess for magic yet. Trick on the other hand has both skills and magic, testing her own magic with Trick’s was left with failure and both of them out of commission for at least an hour with what the kids described as red lightning dancing over both of them . Crisis did not fail to mention she's still seeing sparks over the matter even after trying home, she hopes Trick is okay.

Crisis got pictures with them of course but also made the effort to sketch all of them down. She'd certainly have to come back to do further exploration, but she ached after the magic test and she had wanted to go home to Safeguard, her Tide, and her Father ( both of which she still hasn't come up with names for.). Bidding the kids a goodbye and meanderings through a portal of her own making.

Closing her notes she sat up bones aching and her thoughts collected, Crisis could share the information with Professor Cross later. Grabbing her things and moving from the lab to the lobby. Taking out her phone she checks for a text before calling Safeguard. Per usual he picked up at the first ring a chipper tone on his voice.

“Cici! I'm almost done and Tide said he'd be here soon, are you heading out again or are we all heading home together?”

“Safety straps! Hey, yeah. I'm in the lobby. I'll wait.”

She sighed letting safeguard ramble on about his day for a bit before he mentioned he'd be in the lobby soon. When he did join her in the lobby she was met with a tight hug from behind.

“Tide’s here so we can go home unless you're going to do anything.”

“Magics fucked. I need you, some music, and a good dinner. Maybe a nap too. Regardless we're listening to music in the car, I've got a new playlist from the universe I was in. Lot of the songs are kid-friendly though”

“Sounds good, but I do have a surprise for you!”

Glancing back at Safeguard, Crisis raised an eyebrow humming as they walked out to Tides car. Safeguard briefly ran a head, grinning as he opened the door and pulled out a familiar and excited mass of fur.

“Bobo’s back!”

Quickly Crisis rushed up to greet the spider monkey cradling him in her arms as she joined Safeguard in the car

“Safeguard, our son is home!!”

The rest of the car ride is comfortable music playing between them all, Crisis leaning against Safeguard tiredly and Bobo nestled between them. It was perfect and she'd be damned to say she didn't love it.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hm. You caught me. I am a compulsive happy ending built writer.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably One Word? It's the most picket-fenced ending, at the very least.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No. Inuyasha is a drop in the fanfiction ocean, and hate in this realm tends to be an echo, rather than a rabble.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

One thang led to another and before you know it, @boflicker and I went from brainworming to actualising that into a fic, Irredeemable. I've done a fair few art collabs, but this one is extra special to me; not only is Bo an excellent writer, but a stellar collaborater, and we are very often haunted by this story and it's characters while they're out there in the big wild kicking ass and taking names (love you BoBo) :3

[lisarpgheadcanons]

Since you said please, here are my headcanons for the mutants in LISA: The Joyul:

Bobo: He was jumped and beaten by the Vega boys, and thrown into the cave. Once he mutated, Sindy's men came along and tried to kill him, but they couldn't find his neck, so they gave up and left him to bleed out.

Cooper: Still not having adapted to the violence of Olathe, he was left deeply disturbed by their ruthless beating of Bobo, and he mutated on the spot after heavy mental trauma.

Baby: The only Joy user in the Pacifist Village. Once he started taking Joy, his pacifistic nature clashed with the violent urges Joy gives, and it was overwhelming to the point where he mutated.

Bobby: i cant fucking tell you what happened here I'm gonna be real /j

Anyways Bobby was one of the three men who kidnapped Buddy, but in a conflict with the other 2 over what they do with her, he was struck fatally and got his legs cut off. This is when he mutated and killed them both. (There are supposed to be three corpses, 2 of Sindy's men and one pair of legs, though I heard it doesn't show up).

Chester: During the transition from Painful to Joyful, most of his customers opted to sell him a bunch of shit in exchange for Joy. Obviously, this spike in sales was good for business, a downside being his cargo was getting way heavier. His back eventually gave in and broke, and his body fused to the cabinet to make sure he can stand up.

Arty: Funnily enough, Terry Hintz was the one who dealt the final blow to Arty. With a knuckle voyage, his head was rocked hard against the stone floor. Terry fled, abandoning the land of hints once and for all, and leaving Arty to guard his depressing ass village.

Harry: Kidnapped by the Joy Boys and specifically mutated in order to guard their hideout. Tooley was able to sneak past with whatever teleportation tricks the Rangers have.

Sweetheart: Obviously a personal experiment by Dr. Yado, bred for killing. Most of the deaths we see in Eastern Olathe are from Sweetheart.

Buzzo himself was actually quite scared, though the numbing of the Joy at that point was enough for him to build up to courage to fight it. Not without a steep price, however.

Louie: Personally beat and mutated to use him in the battle against Sindy Gallows. It was a setup to look like a normal hunt, but Sindy was caught off guard by his men turning against him. There were a lot more than just the quartet we saw. It was one of the bloodiest fights Olathe had ever seen.

And, of course, the best for last:

Dice Mahone: Dice's joy use was probably the worst in all of Olathe. His withdrawals were the scariest thing one could witness. He was expecting a deal with Buzzo's gang, however, when the came and announced they were no longer distributing the pill, he was quickly enraged. A battle ensued, and before he could get far, he was struck over the head with a pipe. Sindy's men were also involved as they heard what was going down. It's considered the last major gang fight before Olathe's power structure effectively collapsed.

[dothwrites]

me watching supernatural: i am completely normal about this show, and my theories are normal, boring theories me watching chuck in 'galaxy brain' turn on the tvs and point DIRECTLY at an image of dean and cas: WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN????? (he says THE WORLD and it shows DEAN AND CAS. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?)

anyway, i feel like people did not like galaxy brain when it came out? but i GREATLY enjoy this episode. and how are cas and jody only just NOW meeting in person? boring! cas and jody are ACTUALLY hunting besties and then they watch romcoms together after the hunt is over. jody paints cas' nails.

(why did they lose the wardrobe budget in s15? i swear to god, sam wears the exact sam plaid shirt in like. five episodes. and it's an UGLY shirt. there. i said it.)

this conversation between dean and cas where cas says "i was RIGHT" feels like a little gift from bobo to me. he and dean are on a DATE night! they're having a nice midnight drink and they're talking about their kid! cas' smile here is so FOND when he looks at dean, and i am WEAK for him.

castiel, master strategist of heaven, allowing his kid to beat him at connect 4. my HEART! once again, bobo gives me a little kiss on the forehead, just for me. (cas plays BOARD GAMES! with his KID!)

"winchester dumb" seems an appropriate moniker also when did all the reapers become bitchy tattletales? this is lame. bring back tessa! bring back jessica!

cas backs me up in the idea that cas and claire are not actually that close! it always bugs me when i read canonverse fics where claire and cas are super super close because! i do not think that is ever going to happen! i think that she comes to some kind of peace with cas, but she's never going to be fully comfortable with him! and it hurts cas to acknowledge this because he DOES have dad/paternal feelings of responsibility towards her, but she's NEVER going to give him the dad/daughter feels that he wants. (that being said, cas is claire's dad forever and always in au fics)

i remember when this episode aired, how HOPEFUL it made me. because if we could spend an episode in the final season to rescue kaia, then what did that mean for cas? OBVIOUSLY the parallels were set up! cas and kaia were parallels for each other, and these two characters were trapped in a horrific world, so CLEARLY since kaia was rescued... you see where i'm going with this? (and then it DIDNT' happen)

FICTIONAL CHARACTER ASK: JOHNNY FIAMA

Asked by @princesssarisa

@moonbeamelf @fragglesesamemuppetz2 @softlytowardthesun @themousefromfantasyland @angelixgutz @amalthea9

Favorite Thing About Them: His passion for a period in music history and genre that is not really popular in modern times. He doesn't care that is not a trend, he sings crooner music and dresses in a rat pack style gangster suit because that is what he loves and identifies with, and that is a nice message of encouragement that the character presents in a subtle way.

Least Favorite Thing About Them: He can be arrogant and frequently force himself into other people's spaces, even trying to force other people to eat his mother's spagetthi when they just don't want to or can't at the moment.

Three Things I Have In Common With Them:

* I love pasta;

* I enjoy the melody of the song Goldfinger;

* I probably would get nervous in awe when meeting an idol;

Three Things I Don't Have In Common With Them:

* I'm not italian american;

* I don't have a monkey working for me as my security guard;

* I'm not a crooner singer;

Favorite Line:

This exchange he has with Clifford and Sal Minella about his Tony Bennet fanboy memorabilia:

"Johnny Fiama: Oh, Clifford! I'm so glad you stopped in. Listen, in honor of Tony being on the show, I thought I'd bring in a few of my collectibles from home.

Clifford: You brought in all this yourself?

Johnny Fiama: Oh, you better believe it, kid.  

Sal Minella: I got the last one here, Johnny.

Johnny Fiama: Oh, thank you, Sal. Listen, put it over there, huh, pal?

Sal Minella: Okay.

Johnny Fiama: Great. Look, Clifford, I got every album Tony Bennett ever made, including this very rare, Sergeant Tony's Lonely Hearts Club Gang, which, by the way, came out a week before the one with those other guys.

Clifford: The Beatles?...

Johnny Fiama: Whatever. Anyway, look, I got the Tony Bennett lunchbox, huh? And then, and then I got the Tony Bennett action figure with kung-fu grip. And then, I got a full case of his canned pasta, Rig-a-Tony Bennett!

Sal Minella: You want I should open a can, Johnny?

Johnny Fiama: Sal. Is it New Year's?

Sal Minella: No. Sorry, Johnny."

These line he says when playing the role of Prince John in the comic Muppet Robin Hood:

"Look, boys, I really don't care what he does to Marian, but this whole thing makes me look bad, and you know I hate to look bad."

"Now that I think about it, I could really go for some cookies right now! Can we get some cookies here?"

brOTP: Clifford, Big Mean Carl, Dr. Phill van Neuter, Seymour the Elephant, Pepe the King Prawn, Spamela Hamderson, Bobo the Bear, Rowlf the Dog.

OTP: Sal Minella, Dr. Teeth.

nOTP: Clarissa, the lady who hates his music style and who sitted with Johnny Fiama in a dinner table because Sal Minella forced her.

Random Headcanon: He only imitates the fashion of gangsters that he saw on movies, but he isn't really in the mob.

Unpopular Opinion: He is a great Muppet character who is specially fitting to play antagonistic roles (like Prince John in the comic Muppet Robin Hood) and should be considered an important member of the gang just like Bobo the Bear and Pepe the King Prawn have becomed.

Song I Associate With Them:

The Year of the Chick

We Hardly Heard Ya

Shaking the Blues Away

Favorite Picture of Them:
