#the skipper

[lornaka]

Sometimes self-care is drawing really niche fanart for a favorite fic from ten years ago. It's a long LoTR/The Hobbit fic titled The Skipper, I reread it recently for the first time in years and it still hit me right in the feelings. In case anyone's interested in checking it out, there is a more complete version on ff.net but the author is now slowly reposting it on ao3 as well.

Here's a reminder that Kaz tricked a grown ass man into calling the vehicle he drove for a living "the boo-boo car," under the false pretense that he can't pronounce Ambulance— which we know he can do because he literally did it episode 1 or 2, and then he did it again in Lab Rats vs Mighty Med— And he got away with it.

Lines from Gilligan's Island that live in my head rent-free on a weekly if not daily basis even when I'm not actively watching the show:

• *shoots the gun* "HALT or I'll SHOOT- oh hi Skipper!"

• "I just want an eensy, weensy piece of rope"

"How big is this eensy, weensy piece of rope?"

"6 feet"

• "Hi Gillig-"

"NO NO NO NO NO NO-"

• "Need more magic POWDER!"

• "Remember Gilligan, mum's the word"

"Hello Gilligan!"

"Mum"

"Don't be ridiculous, Gilligan, I'm not your mum!"

• "But Skipper I can't be on camera because if I'm on camera the whole world is gonna see it and if the whole world sees it then the whole United States is gonna see it and if the whole United States sees it then my hometown is gonna see it and if my hometown sees it then my brother is gonna see it and if my brother sees it, he'll punch me 'cause I'm wearing his shirt"

• "But before you go I have a little something for you"

"A chrysanthemum?"

"No, a .45 chrysanthemum"

• "I WON'T BE YOUR PUPPET I WON'T BE YOUR PUPPET"

• "If I'm not telling the truth may lightning strike!"

*lightning strikes just then*

• "What am I thinking about now, Gilligan?"

"You're thinking about a Hawaiian girl in a grass skirt- *disgusted* oh, Skipper!!"

• "FREEEESH FIIISH"

• *in a bad Dracula voice* "Hello, I am the VAMpire"

• "We don't have an alcove, you SHNOOK"

• "Crossing the English Channel was devilishly hard you see, it was take one step and come up for air and then take another step and come up for air-"

• "Don't I get a tip?"

"How much does 1+1 make, kid?"

*holds up two fingers* "Two?"

*sticks a cigar in between his fingers*

• every song from the Hamlet episode but particularly the Toreador March ("Neither a borrower nor a lender be" etc.)

• and of course just the way Gilligan says "SKIP-PEEEEEEER!" and "PROFESSOOOOOR!"
