#that one episode where they preform on a talent show

[utterlydropdeadgorgeoustwunk]

[spotlightlowlife]

Helluva boss Barbie missed opportunities

Why was she cut from the explosion scene? The very significant event at her home that impacted so heavily on Blitzø and Fizzoralli.

Our Blitzø flashbacks feature him with Fizz even though all three will be peers the exact same age, we even got quality little Blitzø and Stolas time, who got confirmed to be their age.

There was no reason for it not to be Blitzø and Barbie performing since whoever preformed with Blitzø didn't matter and we were soon to get plenty of Fizz content anyway.

We already know that Blitzø and Barbie were a twin act.

Blitzø and Barbie being a twin act but there being a sibling rivalry between them, along with a rivalry towards Fizz who their dad showed favouritism to could make sense. Either could be the better performer with the not so great one having both their twin and Fizz way ahead of them. Blitzø charisma that stood out to Stolas when they were children could be at the heart of this because charismatic people are often able to get by in that alone, whilst one with talent at the task is a double threat. What if she never felt she could live up to either Blitzø or Fizz?

When Fizz and Blitzø made amends upon realising that there were those who interfered with them seeing one another following the explosion, who were these people or "they"? This could have been Barbie, someone they both love, trust and would take the word of, who would have been justified in feeling a certian way about what happened

simply dropping her name would have given her some development though not dropping her name too would have made sense in both protecting her identity, however with this a flashback, since we already had one, simply featuring her in a group would have given us some Barbie content and some mystery.

We could have seen plenty of her in the summer camp episode where Moxxie had his chance to lead the mission. Seeing as Moxxie had no idea who she was, she could have been under his nose the whole time.

Barbie could have attended Mammon's show and took the 'not wasting time applying for the pageant because women aren't funny' comment seriously. This could have been triggering because of an existing inferiority complex, it could have lowered her mood, Blitzø could have cringed at this (along with the opportunity for Fizz to go on to bigger things) and reaction she could have walked out, went somewhere to blow off steam or cheer up, or she could have walked down that high street with them and slipped into a bar, we learn that Fizz and Blitzø had stolen alcohol before during this walk so she could be at that stage already to know how certain substances affect her.

Blitzø savings could have been all their savings which could have added to her turning to making quick money.

These scenarios could have contributed to her addiction and forgotten career.

She didn't even need any lines for these, the Blitzø and Fizz explosion flashback got the story across without any. Feeling invisible is a common reason for people to fall off.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP EVERYONE LISTEN

Sit down

Actually no stand up

Walk with me

Okay so I just rewatched the Merder Elevator loveletter episode- for any who don’t cry for fun- derek proposes to Meredith in an elevator (a place that has had so many of their iconic scenes) by “decorating” the walls of the elevator with every surgery they successfully preformed together/ every life they saved like so:

Don’t walk away okay listen!!! Also in the scene we get this really cute call back to some of their iconic cases

Whole scene here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kLl9CefDNgE

Are you still with me guys this is IMPORTANT

Okay so we have had the dramatic gesture vs domestic buddie proposal a million times

Compromise 🫡

So step 1: pick a venue- me personally I’m picking kitchen but firehouse also makes sense if you want

Step 2: a way to involve the found family in the scene is important to me so maybe they tell him where to go or something

Step 3: I feel like we can either make Eddie be a little freak who collects souvenirs from every save - which the only plus for me would be him pulling out THE red glasses and saying something similar to what derek said abt this being a “the moment that xyz” for him- orrrrr they have the actual people from past episodes show up (give a flower each?? Making a path leading into the kitchen if it is the kitchen- Idk I’m gay and sappy???) and it be a cute little thing of every save they had together AND they could still get Chris there for the tsunami call back and the “that was the moment that”

Omg and if he ends it with saying he saved HIM in more ways than one

I’m dead

Deceased

Anyways these are my scrambled thoughts on a merder inspired buddie proposal thank you for walking with me and anyone with talent feel free to write anything remotely similar but just send it my way cos I wanna read this🫡🫡

Bit late to the trend but since the Velma show butchered the scooby gang so badly, I've seen people sharing their ideas for a scooby doo rewrite and I wanted to share an idea for a reboot I've been working on for a while now.

The story would take place in Coolsville, a small town famous for the high number of disappearances every year and the rumors of monsters, a witches curse and other paranormal activities. It's also famous for its renowned Personal Dectecives, Mystery Inc.

The gang would be older in this, probably in their 40s. They have grown up in Coolsville and become local celebrities. Aside from Mystery Solving, they have their own lives and families.

Daphne became the writer of an immensly popular series of mystery books detailing the gangs adventures throughout the years (I'd imagine these to be episodes of the past shows, eg. 'What a Night for a Knight' from Where Are You, 'Camp comeoniwannascareya' etc., because yes, they're canon in this reboot). She married a famous fashion designer (but during the events of the story they're going through a divorce because she has finally come to terms that she is a lesbian). She has three kids.

Fred coaches the local highschool football team when he's not inventing new traps or catching monsters. He married a woman who works as the main news presenter on the local channel and he loves her dearly, more than his traps. Together they have two children.

Velma's main focus is Mystery Inc. But on the side she runs the local book shop, the main supplier of Daphne's books. She was married to an English Professor who works at the University a few hours outside of town, but they realised they weren't right for eachother and got divorced. They had one child together.

Shaggy runs a cooking/food review blog where reviews food from all over the world and shares his own recipes and tutorials, all with his trusted dog Scooby by his side of course. He's a single parent of one, and no one talks about his wife because, quite honestly, no one knows who she is.

The Gang are still close, like family, even after all this time. But the show wouldn't focus on them, it would focus on their eldest kids.

Let's meet them!

Grey Matthews-Blake is the richest kid in Coolsville. He's often seen wearing his father's newest line of clothes and his signature designer green sunglasses (that he even wears inside). He's known to be quite dramatic, sarcastic, and generally uninterested in anything to do with his mother and her job.

Wren Dinkley is often told that it's hard to believe they're the Velma Dinkley's child. Whether it's when their preforming their heart out on the stage during whatever production the local theatre group are putting on, or failing science, Wren doesn't let it get them down. They're headstrong, passionate, and totally comfortable with themselves...'totally'.

Cassia Jones is the nicest girl in town. She's captain of Coolsville Field Hocky Team, Head of the debate team and Student Body President. She's bubbly, hard working and determined to live up to the Jones legacy and make her father proud.

Billie Rogers doesn't care what her dad and dog tell her, she knows the supernatural rumors in town are real. And she's going to be the first person to prove it. She's talkative, outgoing, and very knowledgeable in the paranormal - much to her dad's dismay.

Despite their parents relationships, the kids aren't that close. The town's folk expect them to be just like their parents and that couldnt be farther from the truth. But they do have one thing in common with the Original Gang, their mystery solving talent. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason (*wink* plot *wink*) their parents are strongly against them following in their footsteps.

But things come to head one day when Mystery Inc disappear, and the local police turn up useless in the investigation.

Now its up to the kids, Billie, Wren, Grey and Cassia to band together to take up the jobs left in Mystery Inc's absence and find their parents. But in doing so they'll discover that their quaint small town is not all that it's seems and have to unearth a witches spellbook, an old grudge and an ancient evil that many have tried to escape but no one has defeated.

Ft. Side Characters such as The Suspects aka Jinx and Mozz McKnight (daughter and son of Thorn from the Hex Girls!), RJ Herring (Son of Red Herring), and other callbacks from all of scooby doo lore!

This is just the bare bones explanation, I'll go deeper into each character in their own posts and introductions. But this is my own little passion project. I've been obsessed with scooby doo since forever and I've always wanted to make my own iteration :)

Last Time On Total Drama Cruise Control: No Golden Buzzer for These Contestants!

CHALLENGE 5: - LAS VEGAS, NV "Alright! This challenge is......a talent show! Now, I get it. I get it. I am aware of the unbalanced teams. Sooooo...I've decided for this challenge everyone will go, but only one will count for your team. You will have to vote for the best performance. You better pick wisely, because you will be preforming for all the lovely tourists and locals!" Brick left before the challenge even started! He ran away from it all...to become an Elvis impersonator?! Thankfully he returned just in time to perform "Heartbreak Hotel." Being the most voted for the Tapirs, he goes up against most voted Beaver contestant Alejandro and his balancing act!

It's BRICK VS ALEJANDRO! The audience holds their breath... Who will come out on top?

"Alejandro's breathtaking performance...He wowed the crowd with his amazing tightrope abilities! And juggling? Talk about talented!"

"...aannnndddd Brick! Coming in fashionably late, the disgraced Soggy Sargent was able to clutch out a unique performance!"

"It's time for the viewer's vote, because that's the one that matters!" The audience decides that ultimately, Alejandro deserves the win! A rare win for the Beavers! All Participating Contestants and their Talents:

Tapirs Wayne- Skating Raj- Drawing Scott- Whittling Lightning- Handstand Trent- Playing Guitar Jo- Strength, Lifting Sadie- Shooting Courtney- Singing Brick- Elvis Impersonation

Beavers Ripper - Playing the Butt Trumpet Harold - Beatboxing Alejandro- Juggling on a Tightrope Julia- Making Money MK- Card Tricks Amy and Sammy- Cheerleading

ELIMINATION: Sadie was voted out on today's episode! However, it turns out... "I AINT SADIE… IM SUGAR!" Sugar fooled the cast pretending to be Sadie, flaunting her "acting skills." Because Sadie was eliminated and not Sugar, Chris has chosen to keep her in the game!

With free flights to Vegas from where the ship is docked, the contestants had 10 days to run around the strip! The love square reunites after Brick's "moving" performance! And... they all hotbox a hotel room. It's almost a must to get a hotel room when there isn't a port nearby. Alejandro, Wayne, Raj, and Ripper (Now deemed the "Sea Tails,") destroy a VHS tape in a room together, containing dialogue between Noah and Cody. Alejandro was mentioned, and he didn't appreciate the fact the tape claims he dated Noah at some point. (Which did not happen.) Jo, at some point, gets crossfaded with Amy and Alejandro! Brick also admits his love for Jo when she returns to their room. She does not remember this happening the next day at all. Because of this, Brick goes to the mall and cries in a bathroom while Lightning comforts him. Jo also visits the aquarium with Harold and they argue about sea creatures. Jo also bonds with Raj over their shared trauma from the show. Speaking of trauma, after an outing with the Sea Tails, Raj is faced with an abundance of pigeons. Birds are secretly his greatest fear, and Ripper manages to catch one and bring it over to the group. Ripper and Julia have a small fight in the gift shop! Ripper almost slips up and says something rude. Julia says she needs to think about their relationship...

After Harold brought it up once, everyone appears to be entirely fascinated by seahorse birth. With the love square repaired, will the beavers even have a fighting chance at the next challenge?

Find out next time on TOTAL! DRAMA! CRUUUIISE CONTROL!

Could you make a headcanon for the guys about the reader being like super young and is one of the camera people and basically everyone treats them like a little sibling? It doesn't have to be anything specific, I kinda just wanna read a bunch of fluff with all of the crew is all. Sorry if this is too much. Thank you for your time💜

Obtuse

rating: unrated — all stunts preformed by professionals.

note: not a problem at all! thank you for requesting, sorry for the late response

- i’m kind of basing this off knate lee, but you’re about 20-23 during the jackass show.

- you probably knew one of the crew so you got recommended. that’s how you got the job!

- you’re pretty much an amateur at filming high-risk or public stunts, only filming skating videos.

- the filming crew gets pretty frustrated with you in the beginning; having you in the background of shots, focusing on something other than the stunts, or just you fucking around in the background of scenes.

“Y/N, you’re in the shot!”

“Get out of the way. Fucking amateurs.”

“Johnny stop flirting with Y/N, they need to film this.”

“Dude! Record the stunt.”

“Sorry, Kosick. Wee-man wanted me to film Preston’s reaction to this.”

- the footage is good and all, you just need to focus on the things at hand.

- which is understandably hard, especially being surrounded by all these hot, grungy guys.

- you’re in your prime, and very horny.

- they have you recording at the bars a few times.

- but once you got distracted by men coming up to you the first couple of times, they gave the role to someone else.

- the crew will never tell you off for it though. you’re a talented camera person.

- you get close-ups on the animals with no hesitations, can get all the reactions from the guys, and have a pretty good personality on set.

- you can pretty much convince anyone to do a stunt with enough motivation.

“Come on, Bam. It’s going to look awesome.”

“There’s no fucking way I’m doing that!”

“Where’s Y/N when you need ‘em?”

*Cut to the next scene:*

“How the hell did you get him to do that?”

“I said I’d clean his room for a month.”

- you and johnny love doing public scenes together.

- and you’ve definitely been arrested a few times for the public stunts.

- you swear up and down that you’re filming a tv show , but you just keep giggling that the cops don’t believe you, until jeff shows up.

- then you’ll be made fun of for a few weeks maybe a month or two.

- even though you’re not scared of a lot of things, you cringe.

- like a lot.

- honestly, i get it. you’re dealing with bodily fluids most days and on top of that, embarrassing yourself and others in front of the public.

“I can’t do this. I can’t watch this.”

“Come on, it’s just a little bit of poo.”

“It’s 20 pounds of shit.”

- i think your worst experience on the show would be the ‘gumball 3000.’

- you’d be hungover most days, and being in a car with steve-o and chris would be awful.

- you threw up a few times, all being recorded (either by rick or chris), followed by steve-o throwing up.

- after a few years, you stopped being as grossed out by the jackass crew as a whole.

- of course, they would invite you to do the other jackass franchise stuff. such as wildboyz, which you absolutely loved.

- you were able to record whatever, whenever in different places while being intoxicated off your ass.

- you still record close-ups of animals but you started to film reactions more frequently.

- the crew loved these scenes, you were able to film so many reactions within the frame and they respected that about you.

- the jackass movies were great to be a part of. i feel like they would give you a lot of creative freedom.

- which probably helped the movies in a way, you would give inspiration on stunts, ideas for the guys to do for pranks, and (your favorite) give interviews to the guys.

INTERVIEWING JACKASSES FT. Y/N

Johnny

“Hello everyone, in this episode-”

“Isn’t this your first episode?”

“Yes, but we still need an introduction. God! Anyways, I’m here with Johnny Knoxville! America’s biggest asshole.”

“You mistranslated, I’m America’s biggest lady’s man.”

“The women of America know that is not true. But today I am going to be asking Mr. Knoxville some very, very important questions. First being; How did it feel like to kill in the balls via a bunch of first-graders?”

“My balls are still alive and well, you can test them out if you’d like.”

“That wasn’t the question, dummy. You’re a horrible interviewee.”

Ryan

“-Today, I’m here with the wonderful Ryan! Ryan, how are you feeling”

“I’m great! How about you?”

“This isn’t about me. You’re about to jump off a ramp into a shitty creek, are you excited?”

“No. Why would I be excited? I do it for my fans.”

“Alrighty, I guess that makes me you’re number one fan?”

“You’re the only one that’s going to cheer me on so yeah, I guess so.”

Bam

“Hi, my name is Bam, this is Y/N-“

“Let me record, you’re my guest.”

“Ryan says your interviews are awful, I’m making them better!”

“I try my best. How do you feel about snakes?”

“Why? What are you planning? I’ll kill you.”

“I’m not planning anything! You’re overreacting, it’s a question.“

“If there are snakes anywhere near me, I swear to god, Y/N. It’s over for you. I will get you so hard.”

“You didn’t even answer the question.”

Wee-Man

“I have my favorite person on the show today, Wee-Man!”

“Hello! Can you call this a show though?”

“I’m the Oprah of Jackass. Back to the segment, why do you like pain?”

“I don’t think I like pain, I like being stupid.”

“I think I like seeing people in pain.”

“In a sexual way?”

“Maybe?”

Dave

“Welcome! In today’s episode, I’m with Mr. Dave England. Dave, thanks for coming on.”

“It’s great to be here.”

“Dave just made breakfast, what did you make exactly?”

“An omelet. With my vomit.”

“Sounds amazing! How’d it taste?”

“Disgusting, want a bite?”

“No thanks. David get the vomelette away from me, you sicko.”

“Just a bite! I’ll buy you drinks for three months.”

“And I get to kick you in the balls?”

“And you get to kick me in the balls.”

Steve-O

“Hi guys, today I’m here with… Steve-O!”

“Yes! Hello!”

“Also known as Gilly.”

“Ew, you’re the only one that calls me that.”

“Not true!”

“Name one other person that calls me that.”

“You know, just because no one says it to you directly, doesn’t mean they don’t call you that.”

Ehren

“Ehren please do an interview with me.”

“No Y/N, you’re going to prank me.”

“I don’t prank people. It’s not my style.”

“You literally pranked me yesterday.”

“Barely.”

“You drew on my face and let me go out in public like that!”

“I was coerced.”

Chris

“Welcome back to ‘Interviewing Jackasses with Y/N!’ In today’s episode, I have here with me Chris Pontius.”

“Howdy.”

“You’re also known as Party Boy, correct? How many ladies do you gain from that reputation?”

“Many. Lots. Tons.”

“….Can you name one?”

“Candice.”

“Candice who? Miller?”

“No. Candice dick fit in your mouth!”

“That was so stupid. Get off of my show.”

-

as a younger sibling, i dont know how to act like a younger sibling. but thank you for requesting <3

[charmixpower]

Send me a character: Musa

First impression: "Oh my god I'm not like other girls either!!!" On rewatch it was "Oh my god, she has a mood disorder too"

Impression now: OHHH MY GOD I LOVE HER, I LOVE HER SO MUCH. LEAVE HER FUCKING PERSONALITY ALONE OR ACTUALLY GIVE HER AN ARC ABOUT RECOGNIZING SHE HAS A PROBLEM YOU BASTARDS

Favorite moment: Season 2 episode 15. Hands down. Also the s2 finale. Good shit. Really all of S2 Musa could go here. Aisha and Musa's date. It's all good.

Idea for a story: God, which one do you want? Musa and Galatea background friendship all though out s1-3 where Musa tells Galatea what's it's like to actually live in Melody when you aren't rich and Galatea is horrified. Musa does her first real concert, with real fans. Not just a school talent show. Musa spending time with her dad whom she was implied to be distant from after their s2 arc. Musa and Stella go on a quest together and s2 and come out of it sisters

Unpopular opinion: Season 4 Musa is SOOOOOOO out of character it physically hurts. Musa looks better with short to mid length hair, and her long hair only works when it's up, except in the s3 dress. Tune and Musa are the worse fairy pixie bond. Musa is the more possessive/jealous on in her relationship

Favorite relationship: Rivusa obviously. SoundWave is also supreme. And Stella and Musa are sisters in every thing but blood

Favorite headcanon: God um. Musa still has the comb that her mother wore while preforming. Musa's magic isn't actually suited for combat, she's just too spiteful to not use it like that. Musa wrote two albums during s1-3, because of all the shit going down. And she has a mood disorder, I relate to her too much for her not to have a mood disorder. The way she emotes makes perfect sense to me and that doesn't mean neurotypical things about her emotions

Rest of 2021 Watch List

With only six and a half months left of 2021, it’s time to get serious about my drama watching habits. I’m so behind and there are several things that are (supposed to be) coming out in the later part of the year. So, here is my list of things that I want to start/am interested in. Granted, some of these things may change as more information comes out about them. Or I may just decide not to watch them. And some may get pushed back into 2022. 

Already Aired:

Lucifer: season 5b (USA) - Though the first half of season five left us on a cliffhanger, I just cannot seem to sit myself down to finish out the season. It may be the mixed reactions of long time fans or the knowledge that season six is the last, either way, I’m having a hard time getting back into the show. 

Youth of May: (South Korea) - This romantic, moody, slice-of-life drama. I was waiting for it.The ending is going to break my heart, so I have to be ready for it. I hear the preformances are amazing, but I know I’ll be crying. 

Word of Honor: (China) - Everything I’ve heard about this drama makes it sound amazing. And while I know things will be heartbreaking - I just need to prepare. 

Currently Airing:

Doom at Your Service: (South Korea) - I watched the first four episodes (I think?), but I am waiting to binge it after it ends. Why? The first few episodes were so good, I want to be able to watch it all at once. 

The Penthouse: War in Life, Season 3: (South Korea) - I was super excited for this one...then I heard about Logan’s “brother” and, uh...maybe I’ll just watch the clips of my favorites?

Mad for Each Other: (South Korea) - I know very little about this drama, but it looks amazing and I’m hearing good things. 

Mine: (South Korea) - So, it sounds like two daughter-in-laws of a rich family work together to get what they want. It looks good.

My Roomate is a Gumiho: (South Korea) - It just looks fluffy and adorable. And I need that. 

Coming Soon:

June:

Ancient Love Poetry: (China) - It just sounds sweet and sad and I love a good Chinese drama that will make me smile and eat up the angst.

Nevertheless: (South Korea) - Honestly? The Netflix trailer looked interesting. 

July:

The New Version of the Condor Heroes: (China) - I love this story and the 2014 one was a hotmess. The promo pictures look good, though they were released in 2018. Rumor is the drama has been shelved, but we’ll see what happens. 

The Devil Judge: (South Korea) - You have Ji Sung staring in a dystopian drama, where he is the as the head judge of the highest court in the land. The court has become a TV reality show, with viewers invited to participate in a live. The one person looking to take him down is Kim Min Jung as the director of a corporate social responsibility foundation. And then you have two childhood friends: Park Jin Young and Park Gyu Young, idealist who want to make their world better. I look forward to Ji Sung and Kim Min Jung battling it out, and maybe corrupting the idealist cop and younger judge.

Boku no Satsui ga Koi wo Shita: (Japan) - This one may not ever get English subtitles, as Japanese dramas aren’t really subbed anymore...however, the story sounds amazing. A young man finds out his dead foster-father was a professional killer and this young man decides to take up the “family business” to avenge for the father.  The young man approaches a womanwho is his assassination target. Despite his skill as a hitman, he can’t ever kill her, not matter how hard he tries. Instead, he ends up protecting her and the two fall  in love. This could go so many places and I want to see it.

August:

Red Sky: (South Korea) - A beautiful and genius painter meets a blind officer in charge of astronomy, geography, art of divination, and meteorology. The two fall in love. And it’s marked as a “historical romantic fantasy”? Yes, please! 

October:

The Red-Stained Sleeve Cuff: (South Korea) - The story of Sung Deok Im, a court lady.  She catches the eye of Crown Prince Lee San. Once the prince becomes king, he wants Sung Deok Im to become his concubine, but she refuses. Yet, Sung Deok Im becomes the concubine of King Jeongjo. This could be angsty. Also, it stars Lee Jun Ho (who you may remember from Just Between Lovers) and Lee Se Young (who always brings it). 

December: (or 2022...?)

Twenty-Five Twenty-One (South Korea) - The love story of two people, who have really bad-timing, told over the period of four years. Personally, I’m hoping for a poignant human drama ala Just Between Lovers or Come And Hug Me. (Minus death and murders),

Return: (South Korea) - This is literally described as: “A fantasy drama about the stories of young magicians who deal with heavenly spirits.” It will be on tvN, which usually has really solid dramas. There is a cast of talented up-and-comers: Lee Jae Wook, Arin, Park Hae Eun, and Hwang Min Hyun. There are also some talented vets in the cast: Yoo Joon Sang, Oh Na Ra, and Joo Sang Wook. It’s beingdirected by Park Joon Hwa Everything looks great on paper. It’s just - the drama will be written by the Hong Sisters. During my early days of Kdrama viewing (way back in the mid 2010s), these ladies wrote some of my favorites. And while I did love Hotel de Luna and A Korean Odyssey - it has become very clear over the years that these writers don’t do well during the second halves of their dramas and they aren’t always great at endings.

Snowdrop (South Korea) -  It takes place in 1987, and follows students at a prestigious university in Seoul. It will be written by Yoo Hyun Mi, who wrote SKY Castle and The Bridal Mask. I’m looking forward to it, even though I heard there was pushback (which has resulted in the show airdate being moved back a couple of times) from the South Korean citizens'  who believe that the drama distorts facts related to the pro-democracy movement of the 1980s in favour of the authoritarian regime. This was based on an incomplete version of the plotline that had been leaked online, which describes one character as a “spy” and another lead as working for the NSP. We’ll see

At Some Point in 2021/early 2022...?:

The Witcher, Season Two

The Umbrelllla Academy, Season Three

The Boys, Season Three

[lgcyiseul]

guess who ? SEASON TWO !!! i’m super excited for taesung’s show so here’s my casting call for his guests !

like the game of the same name, guess who?’s main premise is for the host to guess who the guest is. the host and the guest sit in front of each in a radio show-like set-up, but are separated by a curtain so that while the audience can see who the guest is, the host cannot.

there are three rounds before the host can place their final guess:

the profile round, where the host’s given a basic profile written by the guest themself ( similar to those on weekly idol ) to help figure out who the other person is. they’re allowed to speak about it together, but the guest’s voice is distorted by a computer program to keep anonymity.

the talent round, where the guest preforms one or two individual talents for the host—however, the guest has to wear a mask and is not allowed to make any noise whatsoever.

the questions round, which is the most similar to the board game, for the host can then ask ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions to the guest based off of the previous two rounds. again, the guest can answer, but with a heavily-edited voice.

at the end, the host will place their final guess, and if they’re correct, then the guest is revealed—but the host is allowed to draw on their face. if the host is incorrect, then the guest does the same to the host. either way, the two will then take a picture together ( like the trend where one person’s ‘ugly’ while the other is ‘beautiful’ in a selfie ) to post on legacy’s sns.

i imagine threading for this will be super easy because it’ll just be them talking and getting to know each other the whole time—which is why, regardless of their relationship, anyone is encouraged to join ! in fact, it’ll be more fun if they’re not close / if we haven’t plotted yet because it’ll be harder for taesung to guess 😈

anyways, y’all know the drill: drop a reply if you want to guest on his show !

( i already randomized the victory outcomes for the sake of plotting 🤪 )

episode one: @lgcjina​ * taesung’s win

episode two: @lgcnabi * lose

episode three: @sejinxlgc * lose

episode four: @lgcjunhwan​ * win

Seven deadly gems AU part 8

Nadja's song

So this is a filler episode that takes place three days after Elizabeth heals from her injuries of being kidnapped. Jericho locks herself in the bathroom only talking to Ban and Elizabeth staying silent as ever. Then with what a certain plant gem did a whole spitfires might be coming to kill them all.

So she needs a break from her stress. So her sisters and Nadja go to get dinner. Once the older sisters pack the car to go home, Nadja is singing silently to herself in the bathroom. As for Elizabeth, she hears and gets excited saying she should sign up for the talent contest in town which Nadja wants to do.

So with Elizabeth's help Nadja starts helping. Yet, Gowther tries to motivate her more.

As you can guess Gowther takes the place as Sadies mom but instead of pushing his thoughts on Nadja,he is pushing what he knows singers want to be. He pushed no his own belief on her, but like a new idea of becoming a new person. And he is doing everything in his power to keep his wife's dreams of singing true...even if he doesn't fully understand what she wants.

This ends with the same result as in the show, with Nadja confronting Gowther about being so controlling and Gowther agreeing to let Nadja to do what she wants. Yet, once the time comes she gets to scared to go on stage so one do the gems go on preforming on. You would think it's Elizabeth or something, but no.

It's Meliodas in a dress singing loudly making everyone laugh and in turn swallowing down his emotions of what these latest event put him through.

When it rains

This episode is the same as the show. This means a thunderstorm hits their home town and Jericho shows fear. So Elizabeth and a Diane show her how harmless rainstorms are this killing her fear of what she beloved earth was.

So Jericho starts to tell them why the diamonds wanted to come back to earth. Yet, unlike in the show it's not for a cluster.

Instead it's that the diamonds are hoping to make a new diamond out of this planet. A planet that has failed them time and time again. And unless the gems can make the planet undesirable to the diamonds, everyone is going to die.

Chill tie

Same episode wth Ban and Elizabeth traveling to the Kindergarten looking for something to help make the earth look to crappy to make a diamond there. As they search..well the find Grey Diamond (Estarosa’s) experiments, the forced fusions.

Seeing it is so traumatizing for Ban, who views fusion as a thing of wonder, that his emotions almost make him off himself. Thankfully Elizabeth talks him into controlling himself but once they get home Ban cries for a very long time devastated something he once loved was wrapped into something so cruel.

Too far

Jericho and Ban bond while looking for something to destroy the earth in the diamonds eye. She even seems to get a bit of a crush on him. Yet, just like the episode in the tv series she says something o offend him.

Except instead of it being something about Ban being defective, she implies that he should be glad Elaine is dead because now he doesn’t have to worry about fusing a disgrace like this planet is again.

She realizes this and tries to make it up to him which is hard to do. That is until she records her thoughts on Margret’s phone. When she shows him the video, he forgives her and they go back to being friends.

Distant friend, but friends that can grow closer.

Back to the barn yard

Getting stumped the gems head to Elizabeth’s grandmothers barn looking for something to help them make the earth less desirable to the diamonds. Yet once there, King and Jericho fight over who will lead the construction of a drill that will take the group to the centre of the earth to help destroy it a bit more in the diamonds eyes. So Elizabeth suggests they build robots and compete with each other.

In the end it ends with Jericho getting her butt beat and giggling her head off over how much fun she had. This in turn gets her closer with King.

Shirt club

Gowther and Jericho take a break from thinking up plan to make Nadja a t-shirt to make up the whole concert thing to her. This brings them closer together and makes them some what of friends.

The answer

Jericho questions elizabeth on how Diane, a odd colour gem ended up in the best special ops team on home world. Elizabeth questions it thinking about it a bit. Once they realize they have to idea.

So the episode is about Diane telling the girls the story of how She and the gems first met and joined the Crystal Gems. She takes the role of Ruby while King takes the role of Sapphire who is serving under blue diamond, who is the fairy king that’s in the Ten Commandments.

In this AU Diane is discovered hiding on earth. When she sees blue diamond’s court she wonders what’s happening. She sneaks on up to see what’s happening. Once there she is caught after having a short chat with king. After being caught she is ordered to be shattered but king saves her

They rush off hiding in earth where they are found by the sins and join their ranks.

This story helps Jericho relate to Diane better than before.

It could have been great

the Gems travel to an information archive on the Moon to discover the Cluster's exact location. Once there Elizabeth see Jericho sneak something back to earth. She sees this thinking it’s a communicator and gets pissed.

As you can guess it ends with the everyone being ready to fight. Yet unlike with peridot, it is revealed she wasn’t trying to betray them. Instead she digs out a bubble showing what she stole for them..... a bubble.

One with Merlin’s gem in it.

the actress

This is my first time writing smut so bear with me. Requests are open!

Words: 3k

Warnings: mentions of drinking, swearing, oral (female receiving), teasing, marking, fluff and smut

Recently, you had gotten a small role on one of the biggest shows on TV. You were to play the one-night stand of the main character that would later make him realize how in love he was with the female protagonist. You would only be in one episode and have a few lines, but it would definitely launch your career further.

 Currently, you were seated on David’s plush white couch, surrounded by all your friends. Corinna was seated on your right, tightly gripping your hand. Tonight was the premier date of the episode you had starred in, and all your friends wanted to witness it with you. This, although it warmed your heart, made you nervous out of your mind. They all knew you as the happy, innocent friend of Corinna that had joined the group just recently, and now they would watch you practically have sex on screen.

 Your heart pounded in your chest as you watched the main character walk into the pub where he would meet Mila, you. He sat down at the bar, and ordered a beer, a gruesome expression on his handsome face.

 “You look like you could use something stronger than that,” you recognized your voice as the screen panned over to you, seated two seats over.

 “There she is!” Matt shouted from behind you, making you smile.

 “Look at you baby, dressed all sexy!” Zane hollered, bringing hotness to your cheeks, making everyone chuckle. It was true, you had never worn anything so revealing in your life. The costume department had you in a tight black lace dress, with a plunging neckline, which left barely anything to the imagination. You had on black pumps, shoes you previously referred to as stripper height, and bright red lips.

 Everyone quieted down as they watched you flirt with Leo, the actor who was currently rubbing his hand up and down your thigh on screen. You remember filming that scene vividly, it was exciting to play a confident, sexy character that wasn’t afraid to go after what she wanted. You let your eyes flicker to your left, where David was seated next to you. He hadn’t said a word since the episode started, his eyes locked on the TV, watching intently.

 Since becoming friends with the Vlog squad, you had grown closest to him. He was the dorkiest, kindest, craziest person you had ever met. He made you happier than anyone and always seemed to surprise you. It was hard not to fall for him and you weren’t strong enough to resist your feelings. Especially recently, when he would lay his head in your lap while watching a movie, or would hold your hand when you got scared, or the late nights when he would stay up editing and you would have the deepest, most genuine conversations.

 You didn’t know if he felt the same, and you were never one to assume. You knew how hard his break up with Liza was, and although it happened almost a year ago, it still made you question everything.

 It didn’t help that the others weren’t oblivious; they saw all the touches and glances, making sure to tease you loudly, the situation always turning awkward. 

 David took the teasing in stride, sometimes putting it in the vlog, joking along. This, more than anything, made you realize that he didn’t feel the same. He wouldn’t joke about something so serious, right?

 So, you kept your mouth shut and smiled whenever anyone teased, making it your mission to get over him. But of course, David made it impossible, he was everywhere. Every party, every hang out, and he always made sure to be somewhere near you, almost teasing, with his glimmering eyes and wide smile.

 Your heart hammered as you looked back at the screen, tightening your hold on Corinna’s hand. You were in a taxi with Leo, looking at him with hooded eyes.

 You could hear Corinna squeal next you, she was the only one who knew what was coming next.

 You could hear gasps around the room as the scene changed, and you were suddenly pressed up against the door of his apartment, making out with him.

 “Holy shit.” You could hear Natalie mutter from behind you.

 Your face was hot as he pulled your dress off, showcasing the red lingerie underneath. His hands were all over you as he kissed down your neck.

 He carried you across the room, his hands gripping your ass as you landed on the bed. You practically ripped his shirt off, bringing him closer.

 Everyone was silent as the rooms filled with your moans, making you suddenly regret letting David set the volume so high.

 You were now naked, thankfully nothing major showed, but everyone could get the idea. The episode ended with Jennifer, his ex, bursting through the room and catching you.

 “Holy shit.” Natalie repeated as she shut off the TV.

 “You were so good!” You were suddenly hoisted off the couch, as Toddy hugged you tightly, spinning you around.

“That was crazy!” Heath laughed, making everyone shout out words of encouragement.

“We need to celebrate!” Corinna was on her feet as well, as the rest of the group began to agree.

 You let your eyes flicker over to David, who stayed on the couch, his eyes locked on his phone. You tried not to let his lack of commentary affect you, but it was hard with him seemingly disinterested.

“Where are we going?” Matt asked excitedly, bringing your gaze back to your supportive friends.

 *

Two hours later and you were quietly sipping on a martini, eyes glancing around at the sweaty bodies in the night club your friends had dragged you to. The flashing lights and intoxicated people were definitely not your scene, but everyone was so excited to celebrate your success that you couldn’t disagree.

You watched as your friends got drunker and drunker, Zane and Heath being their usual hyper selves with David trailing behind them with his camera, hoping to catch something for his Monday vlog.

 You let your eyes follow his frame as he walked over to the bar, where Zane was preforming a striptease.

 Your eyes narrowed as you watched him laughing, having the time of his life. He hasn’t said a word to you, about your episode or otherwise. You had attempted to forget about it, thinking he would at least say something, anything, but it had been hours.

 You glanced down at your drink, making a split second decision, downing it in one go and standing up. You let the alcohol in your veins lead you to the boy you had been wrapped up in all night.

“Y/n?” David’s brown eyes widened as you reached him, “What’s – ”

You cut him off, “Did you not like the episode? Did I do a bad job?”

His mouth opened in shock as he processed your words, “What? No! I –”

 “Because you didn’t say anything, and any normal person would assume that – ”

 He didn’t let you finish, grabbing your arm and leading you to a secluded corner in the club. You huffed as he let go of you, turning to you with narrowed eyes, “What’s wrong with you?”

 “Me?” You stepped back in shock, anger spreading through you, “You’re supposed to be one of my best friends! And this was the biggest step in my career! You could have fucking said something!”

 “Said something?” His voice was low but fiery, “Like what, y/n?! What did you want me to say!”

 “Anything!” You cursed at how shaky your words were, “Fucking anything would have been enough David! I wanted anything!”

 “No, you didn’t dammit!” He shouted, running a hand through his hair, “Did you fucking want to hear how much you fucking turned me on, huh? How much I wished it was me your legs were wrapped around?! Me that was bringing all those sounds out of you?! Did you want that?!”

 You were stunned, eyes trained on him as he spoke, “I couldn’t exactly fucking say that y/n! Goddammit why couldn’t you just leave it alone!”

 He stopped, his eyes wide in disbelief as he looked up at your teary eyes, “Fuck – I didn’t mean to yell. I’m sor –”

 You cut him off, pressing your lips to his. He stumbled back, mouth open, before quickly recovering, wrapping his arms around you and kissing you back. You let his tongue explore every crevice of your mouth, until your lungs burned and you had to pull away.

 He leaned his forehead against yours, breathing deeply as he looked down at you, “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that.”

 You sniffled, a smile spreading across your lips, “I think I might have an idea.”

 He reconnected your lips, arms tightening as he brought you closer.

 You pulled away, relishing in the slight whimper he released from the lack of contact, and took his hand, “Do you want to get outta here?”

 He groaned as you bit your lip, “More than anything.”

 You waited excitedly in his tesla as he said goodbye to everyone, telling them you were sick and he would be taking you home.

 He was back in a matter of minutes, an excited grin on his face as he slipped into the car.

 “Someone’s eager.” You smirked, trying to channel some of the confidence you used while being Mila. He looked at you, eyes darkening as his gaze traveled over your exposed legs, “You have no idea.”

 You laughed, throwing your head back, “Eyes on the road Dobrik!”

 He snickered, “It’s a tesla, baby.”

 You shivered slightly, the sound of the pet name coming from his lips, bringing a heat to your core. He seemed to notice, bringing his right hand and placing it on your thigh, his thumb drawing circles on your skin.

 You clamped your legs together, “Can’t we go any faster?”

 He didn’t anwer, his hand traveling further up your thigh, dangerously close to the hem of your skirt.

 “Stop teasing,” You whimpered, placing your hand on his to stop it from moving.

 He shook his head, “No, baby. I want you to feel exactly how I felt when I watched you earlier, making all those pretty sounds. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep a boner secret?”

 You sniffled a laugh, “You could have just told me, you know? I would have been able to help,” you spoke innocently, silently celebrating as his grip on you tightened, the car accelerating.

 You were back at David’s in record time. He shut the car off and was out the door before you managed to undo your seatbelt. He opened the door for you, pulling you out, slapping your bum as you released a small squeal.

 You were quick to connect your lips, hands traveling up to the back of his neck, gripping some strands of his soft hair. He groaned into your mouth, both hands on your ass, lifting you into the air. You didn’t hesitate to wrap your legs around him, letting him carry you across the driveway and into the house.

 He didn’t disconnect your lips as you traveled through the dark hallway, leading into his room. He brought you down onto the bed, landing gently on top of you, hands traveling to touch every inch of your body.

 You brought your hands under his top, smirking as he released a hiss at the feeling of your cold palms touching him. You pulled his shirt over his head, as his hands wrapped around your top, ripping it off, “David!”

 He ignored you, staring down at your exposed chest, “So fucking beautiful.”

 You shivered at the look in his eyes, his cheeks red and his lips puffy. He had never looked sexier; you couldn’t wait, leaning back up to reconnect your mouths.

 He hands traveled behind you, unzipping the skirt, before sliding it down your legs.

 His lips traveled from yours, down to your jaw, kissing and nipping as he made his way down your neck. You could feel his hands on your thighs again, your core aching for him.

 “David, please,” your words were soft.

 “Tell me what you want sweetheart.” He nipped your ear, making you shudder, “F – fingers, please.”

 You could feel him smirk against your skin. He hands gripped your panties, sliding them off, throwing them behind him, before he disconnected from you. He sat back on his knees, looking at down at you under him, exposed, panting, your hair creating a halo around your head. He moaned, leaning down to connect his mouth to one of your nipples.

 You gasped as his hand brushed your clit, fingers moving around it, making your toes clench.

 “You’re fucking soaked,” He hissed, slipping a finger into your waiting pussy.

 Your back arched off the bed, giving him greater access to your perky tits, as he kissed and licked each one.

 “David!” You couldn’t resist the moan that left your mouth as he slipped a seconding finger inside, your core clenching around them.

 He shivered at the sound of your moans, moving down from your tits, backing away from you to be eye level with your dripping center.

 You practically screamed when his tongue made contact with your clit, rolling it around, making you twitch on the bed.

 You threw your head back, eyes shut tightly as you felt the familiar tingles reach your center, “I – I’m close!”

 At your words, he started moving faster, his tongue drawing shapes that brought stars to your eyes. You moaned louder than ever before, David holding your legs open as you shook, coming down from your high.

 He placed a gentle kiss on your core, bringing shivers to your sensitive body. He leaned back to connect your lips, making you moan at the taste of yourself on him. You sat up onto your knees as well, hands traveling down to his jeans, before beginning to unzip them, attempting to slip them off his legs.

 He shifted, making it easier for you, leaving him in his black Calvin’s. You didn’t hesitate to rid him of those too, mouth watering as his hard cock sprung up to slap his stomach. He was bigger than you expected.

 You eagerly moved closer, taking him into your hand and beginning to pump. He was quick to stop your movements, grabbing your hands.

 “Dave?” You looked up, confused.

 He shook his head, bringing you down onto your back, “I have to be inside you.”

 You smiled, nodding at him. He got off the bed, grabbing a condom from his nightstand, before slipping it on. He climbed back over to you, gently positioning himself at your core. He hesitated for a second, warm eyes locking with yours, “You sure you want this?”

 You almost audibly awed at the look on his face, “Yes David. More than anything.”

 He leaned forward to kiss you softly, his movements no longer feverish and hurried, before slowly sliding himself into your core.

 You moaned into his mouth, clenching around him as he halted his movements, letting you adjust to his size.

 Once you were ready, you nodded into him. He began moving again, his cock sliding in and out as he released groans of pleasure.

 “David!” You gasped as he hit every spot, “Oh my God!”

 He moaned at your words, picking up his pace and gripping your hips to let himself slam into you.

 Your tits bounced, legs locking around his back as he adjusted himself to hit deeper and deeper.

 “David!” You threw your head back, clenching around him, your orgasm almost in reach.

 “Look at me, y/n,” he gasped, “Look at me when you cum.”

 You groaned but obeyed, eyes wide and mouth open as you moaned. He bit his lip, looking down at you, “God, baby.”

 He pushed into you, his cock reaching deeper than ever as you practically screamed. His eyes locked on yours made you feel more connected than you could have ever imagined.

 He removed his hands from your hips, one reaching down to lightly rub your clit, the other moving to the side to grasp your hand, which was tightly gripping the sheets. He took it in his grasp, connecting it and bringing it above your head.

 You gasped at the feeling of him holding your palm against his, the feeling more intimate than ever.

 “Cum, baby,” He groaned, slamming into you, “I know you’re close.”

 His fingers moved faster against your clit, the pleasure building up as you began to shake under him.

 “C’mon baby,” he said. His words brought you over the edge, your orgasm washing over you as you screamed his name.

 At the sight of you falling apart under him, his movements became sloppy, his legs shaking.

 “Fuck, y/n!” He moaned, letting go.

 You were both silent for a few minutes, breathing heavily as you tried to regain your thoughts.

 He rolled off of you, onto his back, bringing his sheet to cover your naked bodies.

 You felt his arm wrap around your waist, bringing you flush against him, “Y/n?”

 “Hmm?” You mumbled, wanting to fall asleep, cuddling into him.

 “I – I don’t want this to be a one time thing.” He whispered, fingers digging into your hips, “I really like you.”

 You opened your eyes at this, his warm gaze meeting yours, “You do?”

 He chuckled, nodding, “I thought that was pretty obvious.”

 You hummed, leaning closer to him to reconnect your lips, “Well, David Dobrik. I really like you too.”

 You squealed as he smiled against your lips, arms wrapping around your hips bring you on top of him.

[if-you-give-a-chat-a-cookie]

Y'ALL I JUST HAD THE CRAZIEST DREAM. It was like I was in an ml episode I wasn't doing anything though but it was such a cool dream that would make such an awesome episode.

It starts with the main 4 at the theater (the one for plays not the one for movies) and they're watching a live show that's also a talent show of sorts so Marinette preformed a song .

Lyla was spying on the four and was really mad at marinette for no reason so she stole a uniform and pretended to be an usher where she walked up to marinette in full view of Nino, Alya, and Adrien and threw counterfeit money at her and tried to make a big deal out of it but everyone saw her throw it at Marinette.

So Marinette asked Lila if she worked at the theater and Lila of course said yes so Marinette said she'd like to see the manager gets up and walks but Lila repeatedly tries stopping her and even drops to the floor and acts like she's really hurt and it was Marinettes fault.

Alya and Nino at this point are nowhere to be found Adrien however gets up and tries to follow them in order to stop Marinette ( this theater is pretty big with 3 floors and everything so keep that in mind) Marinette is just running everywhere trying to not only find the manager but lose lila. They all meet on the third floor lobby ( which has a balcony that's important in a little bit) so Marinette does find the manager tells him what's going on and he says "well there's no one by that name working here but I definitely don't what a person like that here. let me call security." Then Marinette says

"Yes that would be best thank you"

With lila she's really mad and she threatens Marinette again before she leaves and adrien sees lila is upset so he transforms into chat noir and walks back into the room only to see Lila reaching for an akuma

Chat noir kinda grabs the curtains and ties lila up ( idk how this next part happened like at all but ) Lila ends up hanging over the balcony crying about how she scared of heights this turns out to be true as Lila fear pukes all over chat noir and on the curtain she's wrapped in Marinette is still talking to the manager but chat lost sight of the akuma and is grossed out he even says " you better be worth it princess. Im gonna be washing this stuff out for days"

When he does spot the akuma it's going after Marinette so he races after her and cataclysms the akuma. She says a quick thanks to chat noir before he runs away but he seemed irritated with her meanwhile Adrien comes around the corner with alya and nino and Adrien says to Marinette in kind of a sarcastic and rude tone "next time a situation like this happens maybe you should try to keep your cool unless you want to get akumatized, princess" and Marinette irritated at Adriens tone smiles and says "next time im in a situation like this don't worry it's ( the akuma) all yours" they end up fighting for a while and all of them end up getting thrown out and banned for a year when Marinette and Alya are back at Marinettes house Alya actually sides with Adrien and tells Marinette whatever happened between her and Adrien,Marinette needs to grow up and stop letting her grudge against Lila get in the way of them (Marinette pissed because not everything is about Lila plus they all saw her trying to set Marinette up) meanwhile Nino and Adrien are going through the same thing but Nino is siding with Marinette

Over all crazy fun dream but wow adrien salt dream whaaaaaaat it was still fun and I think they'll make up though

Finding Kurt Hummel: The Purple Piano Project

Masterpost

3x01: The Purple Piano Project

Welcome to Season 3! I’ll try not to whine too much while we’re here, lol :)  

The season starts out on a relatively high note, however, making the whole thing feel a lot more promising than it ended up being.  This episode is fun and quirky and there are a lot of pianos for Kurt to drape himself on top of!! 

Future Plans

So – we start off the season much like season two – Ben Jacob Israel going around and harassing everyone about their summer vacations and future plans. 

Do you see the set up of this shot, guys?  Rachel chattering in the front while Kurt tries to be distracting in the background?  Well – get used to it, because this Hummelberry dynamic is going to drag us through the next two years, guys, lol.  No really – I enjoy Hummelberry in this episode, I do.  But we had no idea this was a set up for (I’m sure someone will argue me on this) the worst Kurt arc on the show – Getting into NYADA.  And, unfortunately, the Hummelberry dynamic (or more so the writer’s obsession with Rachel not being able to fail at anything) plays into that. 

Probably going off a rush of a summer where all they talked about was going to New York, Kurt and Rachel have all their future plans figured out.  They’re going to get a little apartment on the Lower West Side (yeah, sure), Rachel’s gonna be a big Broadway star, and Kurt’s gonna be married (legally!!!) by 30.  Yes – think about what is said here, I know Kurt has Broadway ambitions, too, but I find it funny that his dream aspirations include getting married.  

There are two key things I’d like to point about the whole marriage thing.  Kurt says by 30.  As we find in this season – not before 30 cause that is Too. Young.  But also.  Yes.  Kurt Hummel wants to get married.  And I’m pretty sure he already knows who his groom is going to be.  

But anyway, thinking about season 2, and how that started in such a dark place for Kurt, here we have the opposite – bright and shining optimism.  Oh, kiddo.  This really can only go down, can’t it. 

Purple Pianos

Kurt: Why’s the T-Rex eating the Jew?

It’s exposition dump time! As we get filled in that the Glee Club remains uncool after the Nationals debacle from last year.  Kurt gets his share of funny lines as we get filled in.  

Meanwhile – the glee club is three men down; Quinn pissed off the writers again, Lauren was fired, and Sam just couldn’t work out a contract deal.  So – Will gets the idea that placing purple pianos everywhere would inspire new people to join the club.  I’m not entirely sure how purple pianos are inspiring, but like Kurt, I’m totally on board with the whole thing.  

As seen in the background, the moment he can, he gets himself up and draped over one of the pianos. 

See – look how adorable he is on that piano!!! 

Anyway – Will bores us with another inspiration speech that means mostly nothing since no one joins glee club anyway…. 

NYADA – School for Witches

Lol – oh Kurt, you’re making the best faces in this episode so far….

First of all, let’s talk about the fact that Emma thought he and Rachel were dating (omg!), and the fact that he actually takes the pamphlet about ‘Me and My Hag’ (Lol).  Secondly, let’s talk about these sillies not doing their research on how Julliard is not a musical theater school.  At least Emma is doing the job she’s supposed to be doing in this episode! 

And then she steers them in the direction of New York Academy of Dramatic Arts.  Oh NYADA and my distaste for you begins, lol….  So, this particular school only takes 20 students a year.  Hmmm…  Looks a lot bigger than that in season 4 but whatever.  And the chances that two people from the same school and graduating year getting in? Doubtful.  But this is Glee, so here we go! 

Competitive Spirit

 It’s the first day of school, and Blaine is still a Warbler, but his resolve is crumbling because Kurt is very persistent (and flirty and adorable) in this scene. You know there’s some interesting meta floating around about this scene recently – about their competitive nature and about how Blaine really isn’t /that/ competitive, but Kurt totally is.  He doesn’t mind it at all, really, which means, in a way, that they’re on equal footing.  Ah, how that is all about to change. 

But what Kurt really wants is for Blaine to be around all the time so they can spend every minute of every day together.  Oh, Kurt.  Be careful what you wish for. But also – interestingly – they spent all the time together back when Kurt was at Dalton, and Kurt wants that little fairy tale to continue by bringing Blaine over to McKinley.  It’s obvious they talked about this at length over the summer, but I wonder what Kurt’s (more serious) arguments were for getting Blaine to come to public school. 

But anyway – the fun stuff – just how adorable and flirty these two are here! Hands might not have wandered south of the equator, but they were definitely up to stuff over the summer! 

We Got the Beat

I’ve always thought Kurt was very pretty in this scene.  

I should probably have more profound analysis.  

Well, there’s not much to say, other than Kurt’s used to being bullied by the school, and he’s not about to make himself a target by getting up and singing on the lunch tables, no matter how pretty the pianos are.  

Year 3 and Kurt’s still an awkward little dancer. <3 

This song is nice and fun and energetic.  Not really a favorite of mine, but man, what does it take to get this school into anything?  Geez! 

You know, for someone who is so particular about their clothes – I’m sure this is like the zombie apocalypse.  Poor Kurt. I love the food ray shield. 

You know, never once in all my schooling did I witness a food fight. 

Kurt is just not having it. 

Kurtcedes lives! If only to pass along exposition.  And to exchange bewildered looks as Sugar sings her god-awful song.  

You know it’s funny – I never noticed how seasons 2 and 3 (and 4 actually) openers have plotlines of – let’s open up glee club for everyone! Except not really because we’re a seclusive little bunch. 

Velma and Roxy

Small town is small after you’ve been to the big city.  But Kurt has a plan, that they’re gonna out preform all the other Ohio hopefuls so they can get a shot at their dreams.  I think, for the first time, I kinda get the purpose of this song (other than the blatant relation to Wicked and connection to season 2), but that they’re already counting in their victory against all the other hopefuls.  They’re putting their cart before the horse.  

Say what you will about Gay Hogwarts, NYADA does attract the witches….

The song itself is a little ridiculous but the performance is wonderful.  I love the choreography of this one.  And as always sound fantastic together, and this performance is no exception.  Say what you will about how Hummelberry was written – and I will say a lot over the next two seasons – Lea and Chris’s voices suit each other wonderful, and the show seems to latch on to that pretty well.  

Transfer

Not exactly a pic of Kurt, I know, but Blaine’s so frickin’ gorgeous in this scene.  And Kurt thinks so, too!! Look at that grin!  

But I’m kinda fascinated by this, now that I think of it, how Blaine’s all – check me out Kurt – in this kind of suave way.  And, oh Kurt, kind of caught up in his own drama to even notice that his boyfriend’s one outfit has changed.   

But, just, the excitement Kurt has when Blaine’s decided to transfer.  OMG! the boy is so happy.  

I love that Kurt has concerns – and they are so totally valid.  Blaine did transfer to be with Kurt, and that’s going to play a part in some of their bigger issues.  But for now, they can reveal in their happiness and not think at all about nasty, nasty break ups.  

And – getting Blaine into New Directions.  But since the only competition is Sugar, there really isn’t an issue here. 

Oh Kurt – so giddy that he’s once again getting sung to in the courtyard.  Can this year get any better?!?!  

Everything’s great util you light the piano on fire. 

Velma and Roxy II

Kurt and Rachel are so ready for this NYADA mixer! Only to find out that while at McKinley they might be special snowflakes, in the real world, they’re a dime a dozen.  I like the reality of this scene, tbh.  That you can give your 1 in a Billion speeches all you want, there’s always going to be someone else who seems like they’re more talented than you.  There are a lot of things Glee misses the mark on when it comes to college.  Or theater.  And this scene is a bit over the top.  But it does show that, hey, there are a ton of people trying to make it the same as you – and so you do have to ask yourself – do you have what it takes to compete? Or do you just walk away. 

I think now’s a good time to bring up the Glee Project.  I never watched it, tbh, so I can’t judge what kind of a show it was. But I’m not a fan of the results of the Glee Project.  And I don’t mean who won and who didn’t (Damien McGinty? Really?).  I mean that I have lots of problems with season 3.  But I think one of my biggest is that a show with a cast already overflowing now has to shoehorn these winners into the plot.  (I mean, think about how much space the show would have had without Rory)  Outside of Unique, I’m not really a fan of the characters that grew out of the Glee Project. 

That said, Lindsey Pierce was one of the winners, and her little moment to shine here seems perfect enough.  She’s a great vocalist, and I’m incredibly impressed by what she does here.  This performance is excellent.  

Anyway – going back to Kurt’s story.  It’s kinda hilarious how perfect a song choice this is – this group of kids basically stating that anything you guys can do Kurt and Rachel, we can do better.  Oh Glee with all its subtleties.  

So.  Kurt and Rachel make it back to the car and break down crying because that’s what happens when your optimistic view point gets smashed.  Poor kiddos.  

And then we get Kurt gives Rachel a pep talk v.2.0 (yes, i’ll be numbering these).  And it’s similar to the Born This Way talk – that Rachel is good enough to get in because she’s still special.  The thing, though, as much as I joke around, is that I do honestly like this scene.  Because Rachel is in Kurt’s corner, too, supporting him even though he’s down on himself for lack of extracurriculars.  The scene is a balanced one, where they both pull each other out of this dark place, and I can really do Hummelberry when this kind of thing happens. 

Gay High-five!!

You Can’t Stop the Beat

Oh, I have waited so long to screencap this.  There’s a gif out there that’s even funnier though.  

Anyway – there’s a ton crammed into this little scene.  Blaine joins glee club, which is yay!! But c’mon, Finn, you’re seriously having issues with Blaine possibly taking the spotlight when you and Rachel get all the solos? And Santana’s out for the week.  Why is she only out for one week? Who knows.  And then, finally, Kurt’s feeling ambitious and running for Student Body President, and Blaine’s super proud of him.  Can’t you tell by the still above?

But the moral of the story is you can pull all of the strings out of the purple piano but you can’t pull out it’s music.  Or, er,  something like that.  

Kurt’s feeling light and airy after that handjob.  Oh, wait, nope. 

It’s funny, I think this episode still holds up.  It’s crammed full of things, almost to a fault, but is still funny and endearing and services all the storylines it’s going to be presenting during the first third of the season.  I still really enjoy this episode even if season 3 goes mostly downward for me from here. 

It’s Season 3 people. Bam!

Free 🆓🆓 Churro Monologue

So I stopped at a Jack in the Box 🍱🍱🍱 on 🔛🔛 the way ↕️ here 👈👈, and the girl 👶👶👶 behind the counter said, “Hiya! Are you having an awesome 👍 day?” Not, “How are you doing today?” No 😣. “Are you having an awesome 👍 day?” Which is 🈶 pretty... shitty, because it puts the onus on 🔛🔛 me to disagree with her, like 😄😄 if I’m not having an “awesome day,” suddenly I’m the negative one 1️⃣1️⃣. Usually when ⏰ people 👫👫 ask how 🤔 I’m doing, the real answer ✅ is 🈶, I’m doing shitty, but I can’t say 🗣🗣🗣 I’m doing shitty because I don’t even have 🈶🈶 a good 👌👍🏾 reason to be doing shitty. So if I say 🗣🗣🗣, “I’m doing shitty,” then they say 🗣, “Why? What’s wrong?” And I have 🈶🈶🈶 to be like 😄😄, “I don’t know 🤔, all of it?” So instead, when ⏰ people 👫👫 ask how 🤔 I’m doing, I usually say 🗣🗣, “I am doing so great 🇬🇧🇬🇧.” But when ⏰ this ⬆ girl 👶👶 at the Jack in the Box 🍱🍱 asked me if I was having an awesome 👍 day, I thought, “Well, today I’m actually allowed to feel shitty.” Today I have 🈶 a good 👌👍🏾 reason, so I said to her, “Well, My Möm died,” and she immediately burst into tears 😂😂😂. So now I have 🈶 to comfort her, which is 🈶 annoying, and meanwhile, there’s a line 〰️〰️〰️ of people 👫👫 forming behind me who 💁 are all giving me these real judgy looks because I made the Jack in the Box 🍱🍱 girl 👶👶 cry 😂😂. And she’s bawling, and saying, “I’m sorry 💔, I’m so sorry 💔💔,” and I’m like 😄, “It’s fine, it’s fine” I mean 😏, it’s not fine but, you know 🤔, it’s... fine. And I would like 😄😄 to order 📑 a Double Jack Meal 🍽, and I’ve kinda got somewhere to be, so maybe less ➖➖ with the crying 😂 and more ➕ with the frying, huh 😕? [inhales] And the girl 👶 apologizes again and she offers me a free 🆓 churro with my meal 🍽🍽. As I’m leaving, I think 🤔🤔, “I just got a free 🆓🆓 churro because my mom 👪 died.” No 😣😣😣 one 1️⃣1️⃣ ever tells you that when ⏰ your 👉 mom 👪👪 dies, you get 🉐🉐🉐 a free 🆓🆓 churro. [Clears Throat] Anyway, I’m sorry 💔💔, that’s not part of the... [Clears throat] All right 👉. Okay 👌, here 👈👈 we go. Let’s do this ⬆. Here 👈👈 I am BoJack Horseman doing an eulogy, let’s go. Beatrice Horseman, who 💁 was she? What 😅 was her deal? Well, she was a horse 🐴, Uh, she was born 🐣🐣🐣 in 1938. She died in 2018. One 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ time ⌚, she went to a parade, and one 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ time ⌚, she smoked a cigarette 🚬 in one 1️⃣1️⃣ long inhale. I watched her do it. Truly remarkable woman 👧. Lived a full 🈵🈵 life 💓, that lady 👩. Just, all the way ↕️ to the end 🔚🔚🔚, which is 🈶, uh, now, I guess. Really makes you think 🤔🤔 though, huh 😕? Life 💓, right 👉👉? Goes by, stuff happens. Then you die ⚰⚰. Okay 👌. Well, that’s my time ⌚⌚, you’ve been great 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧! Tip your 👉 waitress! No 😣😣😣, I’m just kidding around, there’s no 😣😣 waitress. But seriously, that’s all I have 🈶🈶 to say 🗣 about my mother 👪👪👪. No 😣😣😣 point 🈯 beating a dead 💀 horse 🐴🐴, right 👉? So... now what 😅? I don’t know 🤔, Mom 👪👪, you got any ideas? Anything? Mom 👪? No 😣😣? Nothing 🈚 to contribute? Knock once if you’re proud 😤😤 of me. Can I just say 🗣 how 🤔 amazing it is 🈶 to be in a room with my mother 👪👪👪, and I can just talk 🗣🗣 and talk 🗣🗣 without her telling 🗣 me to shut up ☝☝☝ and make her a drink 🍹? Hey 👋, Mom 👪👪. Knock once if you think 🤔 I should shut up ☝☝☝. No 😣😣😣? You sure? I mean 😏😏, I don’t want 😋 to embarrass you, by making this ⬆ eulogy into a me-olgy, so, seriously if you want 😋 me to sit 💺💺💺 down ⬇⬇ and let someone else talk 🗣, just knock once. I will not be offended. No 😣😣😣? Your 👉 funeral ⚰⚰. Sorry 💔💔 about the closed casket ⚰, by the way ↕️↕️. She wanted ⚠ an open 👐👐👐 casket ⚰⚰,but, you know 🤔, she’s dead 💀 now, so who 💁 cares about what 😅 she wanted ⚠. No 😣😣😣, that sounds bad 📉. I’m sorry 💔. I think 🤔 that if she could’ve seen what 😅 she looked like 😄😄 dead 💀, she’d agree 👍👍👍 it’s better this ⬆ way ↕️↕️↕️. She kinda looked like 😄😄 a pissed off dinosaur 🦖. The coroner couldn’t get 🉐🉐🉐 her eyes 🤩 closed. So, now her face 😀😀😀 is 🈶 frozen ⛄⛄ in a mass of tremendous horror and anguish. Or as my mother 👪 called it, Tuesday! Tuesday! My mom 👪👪 called it Tuesday. Hey 👋, Mom 👪, what 😅 did you think 🤔 of that joke? You like 😄😄 that? You never ❌ did care for my comedy. Here’s a story. When ⏰ I was a teenager 👦👦, I preformed a comedy routine for my high 🆙🆙 school 🎓 talent show 📺📺📺. There was this ⬆ cool 😎😎 jacket 🧥 that I wanted ⚠ to wear because I thought it would make me look 👁 like 😄😄😄 Albert Brooks. For months, I saved up ☝ for this ⬆ jacket 🧥, but when ⏰ I finally had enough, I went to the store and it was gone. They had just sold it to someone else. So, I went home 👪👪 and told my mother 👪👪👪. She said, “Let that be a lesson. That’s the good 👌👍🏾 that comes from wanting 😋 things.” She was really good 👌👍🏾 at dispensing life 💓 lessons that always 🕔 seemed to circle 🉐🉐🉐 back ⬅️ to everything being my fault. But then, on 🔛🔛 the day of the talent show 📺, my mother 👪👪 had a surprise 🤨🤨 for me. She bought me the jacket 🧥. Even though she didn’t know 🤔 how 🤔 to say 🗣🗣 it, I knew 🤔 this ⬆ meant she loved me. Now, that’s a good 👌👍🏾 story about my mother 👪👪👪. It’s not true, but it’s a good 👌👍🏾 story, right 👉👉👉? I stole it from an episode of Maude I saw when ⏰ I was a kid 👦, where 🤷 she would talk 🗣🗣 about her father 👨👨👨. I remember when ⏰ I saw it, thinking 🤔 that’s the kind of story I want 😋 to tell 🗣 about my parents 👪 when ⏰ they die ⚰⚰. But I don’t have 🈶 any stories like 😄 that. All I know 🤔 about being good 👌👍🏾 I learned from TV 📺📺. And In TV 📺📺, flawed characters 🔣🔣 are constantly showing people 👫 they care with these surprising grand gestures. And I think 🤔🤔 that part of me still believes that’s what 😅 love 😍😍 is 🈶. But in real life 💓, the big gesture 🤲🤲 isn’t enough. You need to be consistent, you need to be dependently good 👌👍🏾. You can’t just screw everything up ☝☝☝ and then take a boat ⛴ out 🏎🏍 in the ocean 🦑🦑🦑 to save 💾💾💾 your 👉 best 🏆 friend 🐶🐶🐶, or solve a mystery, and fly 🐦🐦🐦 to Kansas. You need to do it everyday, which is 🈶 so... hard. When ⏰ you’re a kid 👦, you convince yourself that maybe the grand gesture 🤲🤲🤲 could be enough. That even though your 👉 parents 👪👪 aren’t what 😅 you need them to be, over and over, and over again, at any moment, they might surprise 🤨🤨 you, with something... Wonderful. I kept waiting for that, the proof, that even though my mother 👪👪👪 was a hard woman 👧👧👧, deep down ⬇⬇, she loved me and cared about me and wanted ⚠ me to know 🤔 that i made her life 💓 a little bit brighter. Even now, I find 🔍🔍🔍 myself waiting. Hey 👋 Mom 👪, knock once if you love 😍 me and care about me, and want 😋 me to know 🤔 I made your 👉 life 💓 a little bit brighter. My mother 👪👪 did not go gentle into that good 👌👍🏾 night 😴😴. She went clawing and fighting 🥊🥊🥊 and thrashing, hence the face 😀😀😀. If you’d seen her, I swear to god the only thing you’d be thinking 🤔🤔 about right 👉👉👉 now is 🈶 that I am nailing this ⬆ impression. I was in the hospital 🚑🚑🚑 with her through those last moments, and they were truly horrific, full 🈵🈵 of nonsensical screams and cries, but there was this ⬆ moment, this ⬆ one 1️⃣ instant of strange calm, where 🤷 she looked into my direction ☝☝☝ and said, “I see 👁 you.” That was the last thing she said to me. “I see 👁 you.” Not a statement of judgement or disappointment, just acceptance and the simple recognition of another person 👤👤👤 in a room. “Hello, there. You are a person 👤👤. And I see 👁👁👁 you.” Let me tell 🗣 you, it’s a weird 😕 thing to feel at 54 years old 👴👴👴, that for the first 🥇🥇 time ⌚ in your 👉 life 💓 your 👉 mother 👪👪👪 sees you. It’s an odd realization that it’s the thing you’ve been missing, the only thing that you wanted ⚠ all along, to be seen. And it doesn’t feel like 😄 relief 😅, to finally be seen. It feels mean 😏, like 😄, “Oh, it turns out 🏎🏍 that you knew 🤔 what 😅 I wanted ⚠, and you waited until the very last moment to give it to me.” I was prepared for more ➕➕➕ cruelty. I was sure that she would get 🉐🉐 in one 1️⃣ final zinger, about how 🤔 I let her down ⬇⬇, and about how 🤔 I was fat and stupid, and too tall to be an effective Lindy-hopper. How 🤔 I was needy and a burden and an embarrassment. All that I was ready for. I was not ready for “I see 👁👁👁 you.” Only my mother 👪👪👪 would be lousy enough to swipe me with a moment of connection 📶📶📶 on 🔛🔛 her way ↕️↕️ out 🏎🏍. But maybe I’m giving her too much credit. Maybe it wasn’t about connection 📶📶. Maybe it was a.. Maybe it was a “I see 👁 you,” like 😄😄😄, “I see 👁 you.” Like 😄, “You May have 🈶🈶 the rest 😪😪😪 of the world 🌎🌎 fooled, but I know 🤔 exactly who 💁 you are.” That’s more ➕➕ my moms speed 🚅. Or maybe she just literally meant “I see 👁👁 you. You are an object that has entered my field of vision.” She was pretty out 🏎🏍 of it at the end 🔚🔚, so maybe it’s dumb to try to attribute it to anything. Back ⬅️ in the 90’s I was in a very famous TV 📺 show 📺 called “Horsin’ Around. Please 🙏🙏🙏 hold your 👉 applause 👏👏👏. And I remember one 1️⃣1️⃣ time ⌚⌚, a fan asked me, “Hey, um, you know 🤔 that episode where 🤷 the horse 🐴🐴 had to give Ethan a pep talk 🗣, after Ethan finds out 🏎🏍 his crush 😊😊 only asked him to the dance 💃 because her friends were only having a dorkiest date 👫 contest 🏆🏆🏆? In all the shots of the horse 🐴🐴🐴, you can see 👁 a paper 🖨🖨🖨 coffee ☕ cup on 🔛 the kitchen 🍯🍯 counter, but in the shots of Ethan, the coffee ☕☕ cup’s missing. Was that because the show 📺 was making a statement, about the fluctuant subjectivity of memory and how 🤔 even two ✌✌✌ people 👫👫 can experience 💯 the same moment in entirely different ways?” And I didn’t have 🈶 the heart 😍😍 to be like 😄😄, “No, man 👦👦👦, some crew guy 👦👦👦 just left 👈👈👈 their coffee ☕ cup in the shot 🥃🥃.” So, instead, I was like 😄😄... “Yeah.” And maybe this ⬆ is 🈶 like 😄😄 the coffee ☕☕ cup. Maybe, we’re dumb to try to pin significance onto every little thing. Maybe, when ⏰ someone says, “I see 👁 you,” it just means, “I see 👁👁👁 you.” Then again, it’s possible she wasn’t even taking to me. Because, if I’m honest, she wasn’t even talking to me, she was looking past me. There was nobody else in the room. So I think 🤔🤔 she was talking to me, but, honestly, she was so far gone at that point 🈯🈯, who 💁 knows 🤔 what 😅 she was seeing. Who 💁 were you talking to, Mom 👪👪? Not saying, huh 😕😕? Staying mum? No 😣 rimshot there? God, whatever I’m paying you, it’s too much. Maybe, she saw my dad 👨. My dad 👨 died about ten years ago of injuries he sustained during a duel. When ⏰ your 👉 father 👨👨👨 dies, you ask yourself a lot of questions. Questions like 😄😄😄, “Wait, did you say 🗣🗣🗣 he died in a duel?” and “Who dies in a duel?” The whole thing was so stupid. Dad 👨 spent 😵😵😵 his entire life 💓 writing 🖊 this ⬆ book 📖, but he couldn’t get 🉐🉐 any stores to carry it, or any newspapers to review it. Finally, I guess one 1️⃣ newspaper 📰📰📰 thought he was hilarious, because they wrote a review and tore him to shreds. So, my father 👨, ever the Proud 😤😤 Mary, decided he would not stand for this ⬆ besmirch ment of his honor. He claimed the critic didn’t understand what 😅 it meant to be a man 👦, so he demanded satisfaction in the form of pistols at dawn 🌇🌇🌇. He wrote the paper 🖨🖨, this ⬆ letter ✉️✉️, saying anyone who 💁 didn’t like 😄 his book 📖📖📖, he would challenge to a duel, anyone in the world 🌎. He’d even pay 💸 for airfare to San 🇸🇲 Francisco and a night 😴 in a hotel 🏨. Well, eventually this ⬆ found it’s way ↕️↕️ to some kook in Montana, who 💁 was as batshit as he was and took him up ☝ on 🔛🔛🔛 the offer. They met at Golden Gate Park and agreed: ten paces, then shoot 💫. But in the middle 🖕🖕🖕 of the ten paces, Dad 👨 turned to ask the guy 👦 if he’d actually read 🛋🛋 the book 📖 and what 😅 he thought, but, not looking where 🤷 he was going, tripped over an exposed root and basked his head 💆💆💆 on 🔛🔛🔛 a rock 🧗‍♀️. I wish 🙏🙏🙏 I’d known to go to Jack in the Box 🍱 then. I could have 🈶 gotten a free 🆓 churro. It would’ve been nice to have 🈶🈶 gotten something to show 📺 for being the son of ButterScotch Horseman. My darling mother 👪 gave the eulogy. My entire life 💓 I have 🈶 never ❌ heard her say 🗣🗣 a kind word to or about my father 👨, but at his funeral ⚰ she said, “My husband is 🈶 dead 💀💀💀, and everything is 🈶 worse now.” “My husband is 🈶 dead 💀💀💀, and everything is 🈶 worse now.” I don’t know 🤔 why 🤔 she said that. Maybe she felt that’s the kind of thing you’re supposed to say 🗣🗣🗣 at a funeral ⚰⚰⚰. Maybe she hoped one 1️⃣ day someone would say 🗣🗣🗣 that about her. “My mother 👪👪 is 🈶 dead 💀, and everything is 🈶 worse now.” Or maybe she knew 🤔 he had frittered away all her inheritance, and replaced it with crippling debt, which is 🈶 a pretty shitty thing to leave your 👉 widow with. “Bad news, you lost 🏳🏳 your 👉 husband, but don’t worry, you also lost 🏳🏳 the house 🏠!” Maybe Mom 👪👪👪 knew 🤔 she’d have 🈶 to sell all her fancy �� jewelry 💍 and move into a home 👪👪👪. Maybe that’s what 😅 she meant by “everything is 🈶 worse now.” Is 🈶 that what 😅 you meant, Mom 👪? You know 🤔, the first 🥇🥇 time ⌚⌚⌚ I ever preformed In front of an audience, it actually was, uh, with my Mom 👪👪👪. She used to put on 🔛🔛 these shows, with her supper club in the living room, and she used to make... she used to make me sing 🗣🗣🗣 “The Lollipop 🍭 Song” Those parties, they were really something. There were skits and magic 🎩🎩 acts, and ethnically insensitive vaudeville routines, and the big finale was always 🕔 a dance 💃 my mother 👪 did. She had this ⬆ beautiful dress 👗 that she only brought out 🏎🏍 for these parties, and she did this ⬆ incredible number. It was so beautiful and sad 😞😞😞. Dad 👨 hated the parties. He’d lock ⛓⛓ himself in the study 🔬🔬🔬, and bang on 🔛🔛🔛 the walls for us to keep it down ⬇⬇, but he always 🕔 came out 🏎🏍 to see 👁👁 mom 👪👪👪 dance 💃. He’d linger in the doorway, scotch 🥃 in hand 👍👍, and watch 👁👁 in awe, as this ⬆ cynical, despicable woman 👧 he married... Took flight 🛩🛩. And as a child 👶 who 💁 was completely terrified 😨😨 of both of my parents 👪👪, I was always 🕔 aware of this ⬆ moment of grace, it meant something. We understood each other, in a way ↕️. Me, My Mom 👪👪 and my Dad 👨, as screwed up ☝☝☝ as we all were, we did understand each other. My mother 👪, she knew 🤔 what 😅 it’s like 😄😄😄 to feel your 👉 entire life 💓 like 😄 you’re drowning with the exception of these moments.. these very rare, brief instances, in which you remember..you can swim 🐠🐠🐠. But, then again, mostly not. Mostly you’re drowning. She understood that too. And she recognized that I understood it. And Dad 👨. All three 3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣ of us were drowning, and we didn’t know 🤔 how 🤔 to save 💾 each other, but there was an understanding that we were all drowning together. I would like 😄😄 to think 🤔🤔🤔 that’s what 😅 she meant when ⏰ we were in the hospital 🚑🚑 and she said, “I see 👁👁 you.” You know 🤔 the weird 😕😕😕 thing about both your 👉 parents 👪👪 being dead 💀 is 🈶 it means you’re next ⏭. I mean 😏, you know 🤔, obviously it’s not like 😄 there’s a wait 🚏 list for dying. Any one 1️⃣1️⃣ of us could get 🉐🉐🉐 run 🏃 over by some Snap-chatting 💬💬 Teen at any moment. And you would think 🤔 knowing 🤔 that would make us adventurous, and kind, and forgiving. But it makes us small, stupid, and petty. I actually had a near death 💀💀 experience 💯, recently. A stunt went bad 📉 and I fell off of a building 🏭. I’m an actor. I do my own stunts. I’m on 🔛 this ⬆ new 🆕🆕 show 📺📺📺 Philbert. Im Philbert. Star ⭐⭐⭐ of the show 📺. It hasn’t come out 🏎🏍 yet, but it’s already getting Emmy Buzz. Oh, speaking 📢 of buzz... I’m supposed to take two ✌✌ of these every morning 🌞, but my days are so screwed up ☝☝ ‘cause of the shooting schedule 📅, I don’t even know 🤔 what 😅 morning 🌞🌞🌞 means anymore. There’s a joke in there somewhere, about a guy 👦 who’s been to so many funerals, he doesn’t even know 🤔 what 😅 mourning means anymore. Let you guys figure out 🏎🏍 that one 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ for yourself. Anyways, you know 🤔 what 😅 I thought.. When ⏰ I was falling off the building 🏭 and went into panic mode? The last thing that my stupid brain 🧠🧠 could come up ☝☝☝ with before I died? “Won’t they be sorry 💔💔💔.” Cool 😎😎 thought, brain 🧠. I don’t even know 🤔 what 😅 “they” I wanted ⚠ to be sorry 💔. My mom 👪, before she died, could barely remember who 💁 I was. And of course, my dads dead 💀💀. The last conversation I ever had with him was about his novel. He was so certain his book 📖 was his legacy. Maybe he thought it would vindicate him for all the shitty things he ever did in his stupid worthless life 💓. Maybe it did. I don’t know 🤔. I never ❌ read 🛋🛋 it. Because why 🤔 would I give him that? I used to be on 🔛 this ⬆ TV 📺 show 📺📺 called Horsin’ Around. Seriously though, hold your 👉 applause 👏👏👏. It was written by my friend 🐶, Herb 🌿🌿 Kazzaz, whos also dead 💀💀 now, and it starred this ⬆ little girl 👶👶👶 named Sarah Lynn. And it was about these orphans. And early 🕐🕐 on 🔛🔛, the network had a note 🔣, “Maybe don’t mention they’re orphans so much, because audiences tend to find 🔍 orphans sad 😞😞 and not relatable.” But I never ❌ thought the orphans were sad 😞😞. I always 🕔 thought they were lucky 🤞 because they could imagine their parents 👪 to be anything they wanted ⚠. They had something to long for. Anyway, we did this ⬆ one 1️⃣1️⃣ season ❄️❄️❄️ finale, where 🤷 Olivias birth mother 👪👪👪 comes to town. And she was a junkie, but she’s gotten herself cleaned up ☝☝, and she wants to be in Olivias life 💓 again. And of course, she’s like 😄😄😄 the perfect 👌 grown-up ☝ version of Olivia, and they go to the mall 🏬🏬 together and get 🉐🉐 her ears pierced like 😄 she’s always 🕔 wanted ⚠ and — Sorry 💔, spoiler alert 🚨🚨 for season ❄️ six 6️⃣6️⃣6️⃣ finale of Horsin’ Around, if you’re still working 🏗🏗🏗 your 👉 way ↕️↕️↕️ through it. Anyway, the horse 🐴🐴🐴 tried to warn her, “Be careful, moms have 🈶 a way ↕️↕️ of letting you down ⬇⬇.” But Olivia just thinks the horse 🐴 is 🈶 jealous, and when ⏰ the mom 👪 says she’s moving 📦📦 to California, Olivia decides to go with her. And the network really juiced the cliffhanger: “Is Olivia gone for good 👌👍🏾?” But of course, because it’s a TV 📺📺📺 show 📺📺, she was not gone for good 👌👍🏾. Of course, because it’s a TV 📺📺 show 📺📺 Olivias Mother 👪 has a relapse and had to go back ⬅️⬅️ into rehab, so Olivia has to hitchhike all the way ↕️↕️ home 👪, getting rides from from Mr 🇲🇷. T, Alf, and the cast of Stomp. Of course that’s what 😅 happened. Because, what 😅 are you gonna do, just not have 🈶 Olivia on 🔛 the show 📺? You can’t have 🈶🈶🈶 happy 😀😀 endings on 🔛🔛 sitcoms, not really, because, if everyone’s happy 😀, the show 📺 would be over, and above 🆙 all else, the show 📺... Has to keep going. There’s always 🕔 more ➕➕ show 📺📺📺. And you can call Horsin’ Around dumb, or bad 📉, or unrealistic, but there’s nothing 🈚🈚 more ➕➕➕ realistic than that. You never ❌ get 🉐 a happy 😀😀 ending, ‘cause there’s always 🕔 more ➕➕ show 📺. I guess until there isn’t. My mom 👪👪 would hate 😡😡😡 it if she knew 🤔 that I spent 😵😵 so much time ⌚ at her funeral ⚰⚰ talking about my old 👴👴👴 TV 📺 show 📺. Or maybe she’d think 🤔🤔🤔 it was funny 😃😃 that her idiot 😜 son couldn’t even do this ⬆ right 👉, who 💁 knows 🤔? She left 👈 no 😣😣😣 instructions for what 😅 she wanted ⚠ me to say 🗣🗣. All I know 🤔 is 🈶 she wanted ⚠ an open 👐👐👐 casket ⚰, and her idiot 😜 son couldn’t even do that right 👉👉. I’m not gonna stand up ☝☝ here 👈👈 and pretend I ever understood how 🤔 to please 🙏🙏🙏 that woman 👧, even though so much of my life 💓 has been wasted in vain attempts to figure it out 🏎🏍. But I keep going back ⬅️⬅️⬅️ to that moment in the ICU when ⏰ she looked at me and,...” I-C-U 👉.” “I..See 👁👁👁...You..” Jesus ✝️ Christ ⛪⛪, we were in the Intensive Care Unit. She was just reading a sign ⛎⛎⛎. My mom 👪👪👪 died and all I got was a free 🆓 Churro. You know 🤔 the shittiest thing about all of this ⬆? Is 🈶 when ⏰ that stranger behind the counter gave me that free 🆓🆓🆓 churro, that small act of kindness showed more ➕ compassion than my mother 👪👪 gave me her entire goddamn life 💓. Like 😄😄😄, how 🤔 hard is 🈶 it to do something nice for a person 👤? This ⬆ woman 👧 at the Jack in the Box 🍱 didn’t even know 🤔 me. I’m your 👉 son. All I had was you! I have 🈶🈶🈶 this ⬆ friend 🐶🐶🐶. And right 👉 around when ⏰ I first 🥇 met her, her dad 👨👨 died, and I actually went with her to the funeral ⚰. And months later, she told me that she didn’t understand why 🤔 she was still upset 😞😞😞, because she never ❌ even liked her father 👨👨. It made sense to me, because I went through the same thing when ⏰ my dad 👨👨 died. And I’m going through that same thing now. You know 🤔 what 😅 it’s like 😄? It’s like 😄😄😄 the show 📺 Becker, you know 🤔, with Ted Danson? I watched the entire run 🏃 of it, hoping that it would get 🉐🉐 better, and it never ❌ did. It had all the right 👉👉👉 pieces, but it just— It couldn’t put them together. And when ⏰ it got canceled, I was really bummed out 🏎🏍, not because I liked the show 📺📺, but because I knew 🤔 it could be so much better, and now it never ❌ would be. And that’s what 😅 losing 🏳🏳🏳 a parent 👩‍👦👩‍👦👩‍👦 is 🈶 like 😄😄😄. It’s like 😄😄 Becker. Suddenly, you realize you’ll never ❌ have 🈶🈶 the good 👌👍🏾 relationship you wanted ⚠, as long as they were alive, even though you’ll never ❌ admit it, part of you, the stupidest goddamn part of you, was still holding onto that chance. And you didn’t realize it until that chance went away. “My mother 👪 is 🈶 dead 💀, and everything is 🈶 worse now.” Because now I know 🤔 I will never ❌ have 🈶🈶🈶 a mother 👪 who 💁 looks at me from across the room and says, “BoJack Horseman, I see 👁 you.” But I guess it’s good 👌👍🏾 to know 🤔. It’s good 👌👍🏾 to know 🤔, that there is 🈶 nobody looking out 🏎🏍 for me, that there never ❌ was, and there never ❌ will be. No 😣, it’s good 👌👍🏾 to know 🤔 that I am the only one 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ I can depend on 🔛. And I know 🤔 that now and it’s good 👌👍🏾. It’s good 👌👍🏾 that I know 🤔 that. So.. it’s good 👌👍🏾 my mother 👪👪 is 🈶 dead 💀. Well, no 😣 point 🈯 in beating a dead 💀💀 horse 🐴🐴🐴. Beatrice Horseman was born 🐣 in 1938, and she died in 2018, and I have 🈶 no 😣😣😣 idea 💡.. What 😅 she wanted ⚠. Unless she just wanted ⚠ what 😅 we all wanted ⚠.. to be seen.

Hyeya...Don’t Go..

His heart broke the minute you said you were leaving. Not just leaving him but leaving the country. Everything in him screamed tell you to stop, to think it through, that you didn’t have to go through with it. He knew how hard it was going to be for you. He was going through it himself. Maybe not to the extent of leaving the country but he knew the path you were taking would be lonely. 

He wanted to stop you, yet he couldn’t. He knew what this dream meant to you, just like you understood what his dream meant to him. You both decided to pursue your dreams, his as an idol and you as whatever you wanted. Yet he didn’t know your dream would take you away. Out of his sight and his protection. 

When you left things weren’t the same for him. He wasn’t sure where you ended up, if you got there safely, if you even called him because the minute you boarded that flight he smashed his phone in the parking lot. He screamed as he watched your plane take off. His cries for you to come back being drown out by the sounds of the planes. 

The only one who knew where you were, what you were doing, and that you asked about him was the very man who was travelling this journey with him. The same man who told you they were getting their chance at a debut. 

“How is he?” you breathed out as the night air brushed by you. 

“He’s...he’s getting by..He still tries to act like he doesn’t miss you” he sighed out. 

“I’m sorry for calling so early...I just...I couldn’t sleep over here, I needed to know” you mumbled. 

“I know..You know I’ll always pick up. You two...you two need each other and I know you do. Just give him time, he’s heart broken”

“Take care of him Hoseok...I know you two are going to debut...you’ve been training long and hard for this” you mumbled looking up at the night sky. 

“It’s not easy...this survival show...you’re going to watch right?” he asked. 

“Of course...I wouldn’t miss it. I’ll be cheering for you all the way over here okay?” you smiled. 

“Listen...whatever you do...don’t switch off the tv when you see him. Watch..watch it all the way through for us. Please” he begged. 

“Hoseok...alright..I better let you go...I have the alarm set to watch...plus i’m recording it” you sighed. 

With that you both said your goodbye and hung up. Your heart heavy as you made the promise to watch, unknowing what was going to happen. Once the first few episodes became available for you to view, you sat in your bed staring at the screen. Admitting that seeing him on that screen hurt, seeing him get named number 8 was hard when you knew his talent extended. 

You heart hurt, your feelings confused. One episode sent you into the memories of him singing you to sleep late at night. Of all the lovely time of his voice reaching sweetly into your memories. The next Episode was one you weren’t prepared for. 

It started of sweet, sappy, full of visual gods. Your eyes never leaving the screen as the three visuals preformed, Hoseok’s song matched him yet you couldn’t help but cringe as he failed to show his body. You voice raising at the screen, telling him to stop, knowing he couldn’t hear. 

When number 8 appeared on the screen your voice became silent. Your heart leaping into your throat. Your mind screaming change the channel, turn off the tv, look away. Yet your heart cried for him, screamed stay you need to watch, you promised.

His voice brought goosebumps to your skin. His melody bringing the ache to your heart. His song bringing raw emotion as your eyes watered. 

I’ll back off a little, I’ll wait. I’ll stand far away so you’re comfortable. I beg you like this

Hyeya, Why are you leaving me?

As you smile through your eyes, you kill me with the cruel word goodbye, my breath stops 

The melody which use to make us happy. It still shines too bright. 

Please don’t throw me away, don’t throw me away. I don’t want to live, what am I suppose to do? What am I suppose to do without you?

I should’ve lived without ever knowing you. How was I suppose to know I’d go crazy from sadness like this?

Hyeya, why are you leaving me?

I’ll hate you for leaving with the cruel word of goodbye. 

Please...Don’t go Hyeya..

Don’t go Hyeya...

You sat there, tears streaming down your face as you stared at the man on the screen. The man on his knees begging you to come back even through his song. The man you had left so long ago, you felt yourself in his song, in his voice as he sang. He brought his emotions and put them on display. 

His song was as if he was bidding you goodbye that wasn’t going to a goodbye. His song telling you he would wait until you could stand next to him again. His song told you don’t give up on him and on this dream. His song saying he hated you for leaving but not for following your dream. 

The rest of the show went on in a blur, unsure if you even fully finished it. All you knew is your phone was in your hand. Hoseok’s name on display as you pulled yourself together. 

“Hello?” 

“I want to come home” you choked out. 

“...You watched” he breathed out. 

“Hoseok I can’t do this. I want to come home, I miss him. I need him” you cried. 

“Shh stop...stop right there. If you come home now there’s a chance Kihyun might blame himself. Plus if we debut...the scandals. Just...just think this through, Work hard....maybe you’ll stand next to us one day”

AJDS-Dress Up

A cute little fanfic for @ask-joeydrewstudios

Enjoy!

AU: @ask-joeydrewstudios

The toons sighed lying down on the floor looking at the ceiling. “I’m bored.” Boris sighed. Despite being toons, there were rare occasions where the toons would have boring days.

“Do you have plans on what we can do?” Alice asked.

Boris was about to say something, but closed his mouth and continued to look at the ceiling.

“Do you know any games we can play?” Bendy asked.

“No.” Alice and Boris replied dully. Bendy sighed and the two kept on looking up at the ceiling.

“Bendy! Boris! Alice! Come here I have something to show you!” Joey yelled. The toons looked at each other, got up and went over to Joey’s office.

“Yeah.” The three toons said at the same time. They saw Susie in the office holding a big box.

“Hi Susie! What’s that?” Alice asked.

Susie giggled. “Well my family and I we’re cleaning out the basement of our house and I found some old costumes and clothes me and my siblings used to play dress up.” Susie explained. “I came to ask Joey if I could give them to you guys so you can play dress up.”

Alice’s eyes sparkled. “Oh Susie, thank you!” She beamed hugging the actress.

“Your welcome.” Susie replied. She handed the box to Alice and the toons opened it up seeing all the costumes inside.

“Boris. Alice. I know what we’re going to do today.” Bendy said. The other two toons smiled and nodded thinking the same thing.

The toons took the box to another room and went through it finding different hats, clothes and accessories. “Guys! Check it out!” Bendy yelled wearing a cowboy hat.

“Alright Boris! Your time is up!” Bendy acted with a western accent

Boris grabbed a similar cowboy hat, and replied with, “You’ll have to catch me first, sheriff!” The two went after each other laughing at the fun their having. Alice went through the box and found a tiara and a princess gown. She smiled as she put the outfit on, twirling around to see the dress flow.

“I know you two are playing cowboys, but what about prince and princess.” Alice suggested.

Bendy and Boris looked at each other. “Or how about the cowboy rescues the young maiden from the evil wolf outlaw!”

“Now that sounds like an episode!” Boris added.

Then Alice’s halo glowed like she got an idea. “Hey, that’s not a bad idea. Why not instead of playing dress up for the fun, we dress up and perform a show for Henry and the other!” Alice explained.

“Alice! You’re a genius!” Bendy cheered. “Let’s do an old western play and perform it for everyone Saturday night!”

“I like that idea!” Boris added.

“So it’s set in stone then. An old western play preformed by Bendy the dancing demon, Boris the wolf, and me, Alice Angel.” The toon shared a laugh and went to get the rest of the props.

To make sure play goes well, they needed a few things from the art department to make the setting of the play. Henry dig through the closets and shelves and found paper and crayons for the toons to use. “Well here you go Bendy. What do you need all this for anyways?” He asked.

“You’ll see Saturday night.” Bendy said running off to find his siblings and leaving the animator scratching his head confused.

Alice and Boris were now in the break room writing the script for the play. “So should we add speaking or non speaking like in are cartoons?” Boris asked.

Alice thought long and hard. “Well Susie told me a lot about plays and they use lots of speaking, so we should add few lines.” She explained.

“Hey guys.” Susie said coming into the break room to get some coffee. Alice and Boris looked at each other and hid their scripts away.

“Hi Susie.” Alice beamed with a smile.

“What are you guys doing?” Susie asked. She then saw the scripts on the floor and picked it up. “You guys doing a play.”

Alice nodded. “Yes, but please keep it quiet till Saturday.” She begged.

Susie motioned a zip on her lips and gave the toons the thumbs up. The toons replied back with their thumbs up and smile. The actress giggled and left the room with her coffee.

“Come on bro, we got to finish this before Saturday.” Alice said.

Boris saluted picking up the papers. “On it sis!”

Through the rest of the week the toons prepared for their play on Saturday night practicing their lines, getting the background set up and their costumes ready. By Friday night the toons we’re ready to perform for everyone tomorrow night.

Saturday night everyone was in the projector room waiting to see what the big event the toons had in store for them. Sammy, Grant and Thomas didn’t want to be here, but we’re convinced by Susie and Joey to stick around.

“I don’t know why we have to be here?” Sammy asked facing his girlfriend.

Susie elbowed him in the arm. “Come on let’s do it for Alice!” She whispered.

Sammy rolled his eyes. “Fine.” Susie smiled and gave a kiss on Sammy’s cheek.

The lights went off, showing the play was about to start. The lights faced a crayon drawn old west background; Bendy came by using a chair as a horse trotting it around. Then Alice came on the scene singing a cute song.

“Well how are you pretty lady?” Bendy asked in a country accent tipping his hat to Alice. Alice giggled at Bendy’s compliment. Suddenly, Boris came by wearing a black cowboy hat and mask, pulling Alice away.

“Hey!” Bendy yelled. She rolled up his arms ready to punch Boris, but the wolf yawned and pushed Bendy away making him bounce off camera.

The studio laughed seeing the moment, but Joey smiled as tears appeared from his eyes. “My children are so talented.” Joey squealed. Some workers who wanted to enjoy the show shushed him.

“I’m after you Outlaw Wolf!” Bendy yelled. Bendy chassed Boris around. Boris then tied Alice to a makeshift train track, and had his toy train headed for her. “Not so fast Boris!”

Boris laughed. The two toons pulled out their pistols and pointed them at one another. It was silent as they stared at one another, Boris pulled the trigger launching some ink at Bendy, but the little demon missed it, and shot his pistol at Boris, but nothing came out of it. The wolf laughed, but Bendy didn’t seemed phased at all, out of the pistol was a hose of ink drenching Boris. Bendy came by and untied Alice before the toy train hit her.

“Oh Bendy thank you!” Alice cheered hugging Bendy.

“The End.” The toons said giving a bow.

The studio clapped for the show, even Sammy and Grant enjoyed it. “You did amazing!” Susie shouted.

Sammy chuckled. “That was enjoyable.”

“This was just like a Bendy cartoon!” Wally added.

Suddenly the lights came on above Joey and Henry’s head, freaking the workers out as none of them touched the light. “That’s not a bad idea Wally.” Joey then faced his toons. “How would you guys feel if your play got made into an episode?”

The toons mouths dropped and in joy hugged their dad tight cheering yes and thank you to their father. Joey chuckled hugging his kids back.

“Well I got to get to work then!” Henry cheered.

“But you’re off tomorrow.” Bendy said.

Henry chuckled. “Not this artist!”
