#the timid assistant: sebastian

[scarabiaa]

"Oh! Um, how can I help you? If you want to talk to our student council president, I can take a message or resolve it on my own. Is that okay for you?"

NAME: Sebastian Maes

NICKNAME(S): Seb by the Vice President ; Seb-chan by Seth ; Snowball by NBC students ; Pretty Boy by Ivy

AFFILIATION: Student

AGE: 19

SPECIES: Human

INSPIRATION: Snowball

UNIQUE MAGIC: Shadows Taken - His Unique Magic allows him to gain a twin, only that this twin is a shadow version of him. During this time, his own eyes turn pure black and he can see everything from a higher perspective, literally. His shadow twin can do things he physically cannot so his magic takes advantage of that perspective. He has to be careful with controlling the twin, lest it winds up having a mind of its own and being able to become recklessly evil.

PERSONALITY: With a softer voice, Sebastian tends to be timid on his own. When he is beside Rollo as his assistant, that is when he can hold his head higher. He knows that he is good at his job and he is especially confident when it comes to paperwork. He is really kind with new people, as long as they talk to him first. He can't really be the first one to talk, someone else has to talk to him first. He's extremely loyal, yet he knows when things are wrong, even if he has been with a certain person for a long time. He can usually be counted upon when it comes to certain subjects that you may need help in.

APPEARANCE: He has purple eyes, pale skin, and long black hair that reaches past his shoulder blades. He has two long strands of hair and bangs that cover his forehead. When in NBC uniform, he wears a beret the colors of NBC. He usually can be found wearing that uniform as the student council president's assistant.

~

His MBTI is INFP.

He tends to play with his hair a lot when he's nervous.

He cannot deal with any horror movies whatsoever.

Contrary to popular opinion, he is actually decent at cooking. He just stopped once he got to learning about oil. He still screams if he sees a pan full of oil and it is popping.

He has three older sisters and a younger sister. He gets teased a lot by his sisters. He does take care of his younger sister though.

He remembers when his family was actually really poor and everyone thought that there was no chance he would be able to go to NRC. Instead, by some miracle, his family was saved from poverty and he was allowed to go to Noble Bell.

He gets a headache when seeing yellow or orange colors.

Does not like meeting new people or when he does, he greets them silently. He's afraid of saying anything awkward in front of them.

He loves building tiny things, like Lego sets.

There was one time where the VP and Rollo were sick and could not handle the responsibilities as the heads of the council, so it was up to Sebastian. He makes them both swear they will never make him do that again.

To this day, he does not know what he wants to do in life. Being someone's assistant sounds great and all, but he doesn't really know if that's the only career he wants to pursue.

The reason why he doesn't cut his hair is because of a story his mother used to tell him when he was little. As long as he had long hair, there would be an invisible string that attached him to his soulmate. He should have grown out of it, but to be honest, he likes the idea too much.

He doesn't have any grandparents.

He likes crunchy food. You'll hardly find him eating soft foods.

He can play the piano very well and he has gotten singing lessons since he was little. He does not sing in front of anyone but he has been known to be able to put his youngest sister to sleep when she's really upset.

He sucks at history.

He's actually a bit of a hopeless romantic, he likes consuming romance media. There's a manga that makes him wish he had the relationship the protagonists have.

Has accidentally pulled all nighters, only because he is too focused on his work. He ends up collapsing in the student council meetings.

~

DYNAMICS:

The President's Assistant: Rollo + Sebastian

Sebastian actually became Rollo's assistant because he didn't want to join any clubs and he thought that maybe, with the president's help, he would not have to. He ended up enjoying what he did a lot because of all the paperwork he is allowed to do. He's extremely good when it comes to paperwork and he's very organized. When left alone for a while, he will go through a stack of files in thirty minutes or so and it is all done very well.

[short-yandere-stories]

okay so---i read the lil fic of reader friendzoning sebastian and i saw your requests were open so here I AM-

Could I get a fanfic of Sebastian with a reader who ✨does✨ have a crush on him but ignores his advances because she happens to have a rather low self-esteem and simply "doesn't want to get the wrong idea" —if possible? if you can't either way it's cool .u.

I am so glad you're here! :D And hoo boy I can recognize myself in that for sure and this would 100% be me hands down. Also sorry for the tiiiiime this has taken meeeeee ugh life is. Annoying. Something I do know for certain, however, is that a yandere Sebastian would not stand for any low self-esteem. Especially not from someone as wonderful and perfect as you.

This can be read as a standalone thing or sort of a continuation of the last one!

Yandere is mainly at the very end because it became just so nice and soft and aaaaahh

:✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧ ･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ*:･ﾟ✧*:

SFW, no major TW/CW, but mentions reader with low self-esteem feeling insecure and disliking themselves. :✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ*:･ﾟ✧*:

"Not Good Enough for Me?"

:✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ*:･ﾟ✧*:

"Milady, are you alright? You've been staring through that window for quite some time now." Jumping at the sudden voice, you turn around, gaze landing on the tall, elegant butler peeking in through your door. At your acknowledgment, he takes a step into your room, closing the door behind him with a soft 'click'.

"You have not moved from this spot since at least about half an hour ago. I saw you standing there while I assisted Finnian in the gardens." You look away, nervously picking at the skin around your nails. "I'm fine," you say with a forced laugh. "Just got lost in thought I guess." Slowly, Sebastian moves closer to you, making sure that you can clearly see him at any point. He closely monitors your body language, ready to stop the second he sees you flinching or turning away.

"Is it about my confession during the afternoon tea last afternoon?" He asks, hitting the nail on its head. He has to keep a chuckle in as you wince. "I meant no disrespect or harm, I can assure you," he continued. "And if I have made you uncomfortable with any of my advances, I-" "No!" You yelp, cutting him off. You snap around to finally look at him, eyes wide in a panic and hands thrown up in front of you, waving in dismissal. "I mean..." you continue in a timid tone, cheeks heating up at your outburst.

"You didn't make me uncomfortable at all, Sebastian," you say, eyes pleading with him to believe you. "It was actually really sweet and it made me extremely happy to hear. I just..." you trail off, looking down at the floor, unable to keep his gaze any longer.

"I just don't think you'd want to be with someone like me." Your voice grows increasingly quiet the longer the sentence goes on, and even Sebastian with his demonic powers and enhanced senses has to strain to catch your words.

"What?" he breathes, confusion and bewilderment etched on his face.

You turn back to face the window, wrapping your arms around yourself in an attempt of comfort, trying your hardest to keep the tears threatening to form at bay.

"I just... I'm nothing special. I'm not really pretty or smart... I'm clumsy and mess up, and I can't ever do anything right." Tears blur your vision as you try to keep your voice from shaking. "I don't know why you'd want to be with me," you confess, finally, shoulders shaking with silent sobs.

"You deserve someone better than me."

If he had a heart in the same way that humans do, Sebastian was sure that it would have shattered upon hearing those words. How had he missed your feelings in regard to yourself like this? The anger he felt aimed towards himself for missing such a crucial thing had completely blocked out the meaning of your words for a moment until they finally registered. You loved him. More than that, you'd avoided his advances and tried to push him aside not because you didn't reciprocate, but because you didn't think you were good enough.

In a flash, he's by your side, wrapping his strong arms around you and pulling you into his chest. Your hands weakly cling to his waistcoat, tears wetting the fabric of his shirt. "Sweetheart," he whispers, raising one gloved hand to pet your hair.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not noticing how you felt about yourself and adding to that burden," he begins, holding your crying form close. "But you're wrong. About all of it." You cry harder and try to push him away, but he doesn't budge.

"You are special. So very special to me, darling, you don't even know half of it. You have the most beautiful soul of any person I have ever met. I love every single part of you. I love the color of your eyes, the way your entire face lights up when you smile. I love your mind and the way it works. Sure, you mess up sometimes, but every human does! It has never once made me think less of you. If anything, watching you trip over nothing only makes me see you as even more endearing than before." Relaxing his hold on you enough for him to bend down and look you in the eyes, he continues. "I love everything about you, flaws and all. I wouldn't change anything about you." One of his hands wipes away a few tears from your cheek before gently cradling it in his palm.

"There is no one that could be 'better for me' than you. You're perfect in my eyes. I hope that I can make you see that too, someday," he whispers.

More tears flow down your cheeks, and for a moment, Sebastian thinks that he has done something wrong, but then your face cracks into a smile. "Do you really mean that?" you ask meekly. "Or are you just saying it to make me feel better?" Instead of giving you a verbal answer, Sebastian leans in and presses his cold lips against yours. For a moment, you're unresponsive, frozen in shock. Then, your hands grab his shoulders, and you kiss back.

The feeling of your soft, warm lips against his is something Sebastian has dreamed of for so long. He can barely believe that it's happening. Your warmth, the softness of your body pressed against him is everything he ever wanted.

Possessive thoughts flash through his mind, solidifying what he already knew. This was where you belonged. By his side, in his arms. With him, forever. He would make sure that your thoughts never hurt you ever again. No matter how many times he had to reassure you, hold you, and help push those negative feelings aside, he would.

You were finally his. You finally reciprocated his feelings, and Sebastian would be damned if he let anything -- your own thoughts included -- hurt you.

OC Brain Rot Post #1: Thea and Abby and the Rivals Fight at the Mansion

OC Brain Rot (originally based on this post) is where I basically ramble some about my OCs and what they're up to currently outside of my writings and arts. Basically, these posts are, in essence, brain dumps. Sometimes there might only be a couple sentences and half-formed ideas, others might go into meta involving my ocs and whichever game universe they are apart of.

Most post will be based around my otome OCs but some original ones might slip in once in a while! You just never know where my brain might take me.

I'll also make a big, huge note here that these posts won't be spoiler-free! At the beginning of each post, I'll try and make note of which game and OCs I'll be talking about. Spoiler parts will be under the cut.

For this post, there will be Spoilers below about the Interlude route of Ikemen Vampire, right around Chapters 10 and 11.

Thea and Abby will feature in this rot. Normally, they are two characters that have their own universes. However, I also fall inevitably into joining their universes together just so I can have them both interacting with the boys and being friends (Thea is quite protective of the shy and timid Abby), so I'll also include some thoughts about both of them together in this part of the Interlude route.

Here we go, onto the brain rotting!

-----

For Context: The Interlude Route in Ikemen Vampire is a transition arc between the first and second acts, right before the act 2 for the suitors are released and two new characters are introduced. MC is stuck in the past because Comte's magical time door is broke and going home is likely an impossibility at this point, unless you want to be lost in the time soup for all eternity. So now, MC is trying to make the best of the change in her plans.

Vlad, still bent on not letting the vision he saw in the future come to pass, revives the rivals to our suitors and they have been terrorizing everyone the past few chapters. Where I'm at currently, Vlad has met with Comte and Leonardo and they tried to talk things out, purebloods to pureblood, but Vlad still refuses to stop his mission and the three part ways.

He then sends the ones he's revived to the mansion in an all out attack. Napoleon and Jean take the most brunt in fighting Wellington and Gilles with Leonardo and Comte assisting them. Dazai and Sebastian were guarding the door while the other non-fighters (Mozart and Isaac) were in the piano room. Theo had gone on his own to face off against Gauguin to get revenge with Arthur following him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, such as going through with the revenge quest he was on.

This is initially where the girls start off in. Vincent is also in the piano room but soon goes out on his own because he also figures that Theo was about to do something stupid and while I initially thought it was dumb of him because he left the non-fighters defenseless (his little info blerb he's the strongest of the non-purebloods and I had many instances of 'why you do that, something bad gonna happen to the non-fighters! Vincent, my love!') but he didn't want for Theo to do his stupid thing, so he goes to Theo and it's sweet (me still thinking it was dumb but whatever, narrative gonna do what it wants).

For Thea, she goes with Vincent after Theo. No risking yourself for your brother nonsense! She cares too much about Theo too, she's gonna stop him. And she knows a little bit about fighting (as stated in this power-scaling reblog I did), so she'll be mostly okay. Theo pulls her to him as he flips the pool table in the game room and all four of them are dodging bullets, currently.

For Abby, she stays with Mozart and Isaac in the piano room, scared as this is some terrifying shit going on! When Vincent said he was leaving for Theo, Abby was very, very scared, numerous things running through her head, all of them not good. Worried for everyone outside fighting currently, for Sebastian and Dazai guarding the door, for Theo and Arthur out on their own, and now Vincent going on his own to find Theo. She wishes she could curl up in a corner somewhere, close her eyes and cover her ears until all of this was over, but she can't, not when all of her friends are fighting right now.

Before Vincent leaves, she does tug on his sleeve, wanting to ask him to stay. She knows how strong he is and wants him to stay with them, but seeing his eyes, how worried yet determined how he is. He was set on finding Theo.

So, in the face of that, all she could do was let go of his sleeve and say "Be careful."

Vincent smiles and gently pats her shoulder, promising to come back soon, with Theo in tow.

Once he's gone, however, Salieri comes after Mozart with a knife and we're back in terror time again. Isaac stays the closest to her, they're both terrified! Mozart shielding both of them. He manages to break the mind control over him with standing in front of the piano, reminding him that he had admired his music in their first lives, what has happened to you to attack another music lover? Things seem to simmer down in the music room because of that.

In the combined universe of both girls, it's relatively the same, Vincent still goes off to find Theo, but Thea goes with him, determined to find Theo and to help him or stop him from doing the stupid thing. Abby still tugs on Vincent's sleeve, still sacred but ultimately lets him and Thea go. They both cared a lot about the younger van Gogh, so who was she to stop them just because she's scared?

And... this is as far as I've gotten with this brain rot. Just a fun little brain exercise to put the girls in the goings on with what I'm playing currently. Hope to be able to share some more brain rots with you guys soon!

"They do. They care very much about you, starlight. Lillie went to great lengths in an attempt to get to you, even asking me if I could use her goggles to get to you in the digital world." Moon explained.

"She loves you dearly. You are her sister, after all. When you came into her life, I watched from afar as she transformed from timid and unsure to a confident woman thanks to your presence. And your assistance in finally helping us confess to each other made us both even more happy. She and I would never trade you for the world. I am sure this sentiment carries over to Gwendolyn, Henry, and definitely individuals like Grey, who kept on attempting to get at Malhare despite how dangerous it was... just so he could save you. And most definitely Sebastian."

He smiled down at her, reaching over and gently placing a hand on her shoulder.

"You do not need carry the weight of the world on your shoulders alone, little glimmer. Let us help you bear the burden."

Moon had been patrolling the Pizzaplex as usual that night, though something drew him to the roof. There, he was surprised to find a sad ghost girl all by herself. Approaching, he spoke.

"Dear little starlight, what dims your glow tonight?"

Elizabeth turns around to look at him, still dangling her feet over the edge of the building. "Oh, hi Moon. I haven't seen you in a while. How are you?" she sadly asks

@ladyredfox88

FINNIAN

You often helped Finny in the garden.

You taught him various garden-related things and helped him whenever he made mistakes.

moreover, you comforted Finny whenever he was was sad.

It was only a matter of time before he would eventually fall in love with you.

He would be very timid about his feelings at first.

The fact that you were Ciel’s old babysitter made him nervous and he was afraid that Ciel wouldn’t like if he would start a relationship with you.

That’s why he avoided you for a moment before talking about his feelings with you.

And luckily for him, you accepted his feelings.

However, Finny was right because Ciel wasn’t excited about the idea of ​​your relationship.

(Maybe Ciel himself secretly fell in love with you)

You tried your best to talk to Ciel.

And if that didn’t work you threatened to show his embarrassing baby pictures to his guests at his next party.

Do not irritate your babysitter...

SEBASTIAN MICHAELIS

You were the only qualified staff member besides Sebastian.

(And Sebastian often used the phrase “you could be more like Y / N”.)

Since you two were Ciel’s two most reliable assistants you did a lot of work together.

And because you spent a lot of time with him, Sebastian learned how pure and friendly you were.

You were also one of the few people who knew the secret between him and Ciel and he was initially amazed when you weren’t afraid of him.

Instead, you asked him a lot of questions and eagerly introduced Ciel’s baby pictures.

(To Ciel's chagrin and Sebastian's great joy)

His infatuation began because you were an interesting person in his opinion.

It took him a long time to recognize and acknowledge his feelings for you, and he was very happy when you didn’t reject him.

He often teases Ciel imperceptibly.

He still laughs secretly at it when Elizabeth pointed out that you could be Ciel's mother and Sebastian's could be Ciel’s father.

Once you think he "teased" Ciel too hard so you hit Sebastiani with a frying pan.

He is still secretly shocked by this.

You can read that Sebastian frying pan episode here.

[radioactivesweet]

Hey! Could I request some angsty hcs for Sebastian Michaelis? Perhaps him finding out that his s/o has fallen terribly ill and there is little chance of them surviving? (Maybe even throw in their death for some extra sad spice?) I hope I'm not asking too much ;-; thank you though!

Third request in a row I had to rewrite because my computer keeps pulling pranks on me- btw hope it’s angsty enough!

tw: illness, death

Sebastian had never cared about humans, they could get sick or involved in accidents, and died in a way he would have considered miserable. He had assisted to the decay and eventual death of many humans, apathetic. He said a countless number of “condolences” to grieving families, he took part in funerals, brought flowersm without being the slightest touched emotionally. Before he met. Now it was different, he was different. You are the one who pushed a demon to pray before the same god he was supposed to despise.

When Ciel first told him about your condition, Sebastian could hide well his shock – what shocked him the most though, was realising that he had ended up developing human feelings towards you – but the other servants seemed to know he wasn't as indifferent as he tried to be. They were all sharing the same anxiety and concern. Ciel, too, was distracted from his works, and giving his employees some time off, Sebastian included.

Sebastian spent that time beside you, trying to reassure you, to convince you that things will get better, that you will get better, that next spring you two will take long walks together again. Yet he knows better, you both do, you won't see again the blooming flowers under the timid spring warmth, that that winter will never come to an end. He tried to reassure you, but mostly, who he wanted to fool, was himself.

Sebastian has tons of knowledges about everything, medicine too, so he already could tell your diagnosis, but still he hoped that the doctor hìwho kept visiting you could bring him good new – which never arrived. It was just a matter of time, he knew, before everything ended.

When Sebastian saw the green glowing eyes of a shinigami outside your window, you were already asleep. It was snowing. He left the room. Trying to stop the shinigami from doing their work would have only been a waste of time. Sebastian bid you adieu, kissed your forehead gently and went away.

He didn't take part during the funeral and nobody could find him. Sebastian didn't want anybody to see a demon cry in the pitiful human way.

[scarabiaa]

ivy x sebastian headcanons bc they're canon now

THEY ARE CANON.

She's definitely the more assertive one in their relationship, so if anyone even remotely tries messing with him, she's laughing hysterically as she sprints to deck said person. He has texted her once about someone teasing him and she literally ran out of Ignihyde to go to him.

Sometimes, they'll sit together under a tree and share earbuds, listening to music and just looking at the scenery. She tries not to fall asleep, but she usually winds up with her head on his shoulder, already sleeping.

He makes her little homemade gifts and he likes writing her love letters. He's been caught in Rollo's office because he needs stamps and he has to lie and say, "It's for the Scholarships of Centered Living." Rollo can clearly see the pink envelope with a heart shaped wax frame in the back.

Since she's in NRC and he's in NBC, they usually stay up talking to each other. The wifi in Ignihyde is super fast and good, so they sometimes spend hours up together.

They play games with each other; he likes playing the calmer games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Minecraft and the Sims. She plays tactical shooter games a lot. They play with each other and he has, many times, failed in her games. He has also heard her very creative curses whenever someone even tries to insult his gameplay.

They have a bed next to each other in Minecraft. When the VP plays with Sebastian, he always asks, "Why two?" "You don't get it." "DOWN BAD HORRENDOUS."

She has bought him multiple gifts just because, from Lego sets to those new boots that he really wanted but he couldn't get. He never knows where she gets the money from.

He knows when she's feeling homesick, she looks more worn down than usual and he immediately does everything he can to take her to him. He hugs her really tightly for the longest time until she feels calmer.

She goes home with him for the holidays because she REFUSES to stay behind and clean up Ignihyde. Those boys' room are toxic fumes since they never clean or go outside. His sisters usually tease him a lot about him actually bringing a girl home or at least bringing SOMEONE home.

He winds up being embarrassed by his entire family because they're all interrogating her at the family reunion. Somehow she winds up passing the questions. She also eats a lot there, she enjoys the food that they make and even describes some of her own food before getting up, going shopping, and making the food on her own.

Speaking of shopping, he sometimes goes out to buy her a bunch of snacks and go into NRC. When he goes into Ignihyde, literally everyone's going, "INTRUDER!! INTRUDER!! FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL, HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE!!"

He definitely didn't ask Seth. She almost tackles him to the ground in excitement every time. It's common now, but he's still not used to the open affection.

SPEAKING OF AFFECTION, she's definitely more affectionate with him than vice versa. She is not ashamed of hugging him and she's even kissed his cheek in front of Rollo (he was red for days). Sometimes she just clings onto him.

They send memes and make playlists for each other. She has made him multiple playlists and all of them have different titles. They're all cute too, they make him turn pink because they could be love letters on their own.

He'll visit NRC in secret sometimes just for her.

Ignihyde is aware but the one time Idia brought it up to her, she literally said, "JUST BECAUSE I CAN GET BITCHES AND YOU CAN'T DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP ME FROM HIM."

"He's the enemy."

"AND YOU ARE MINE. GET OUT."

They go on walks alone at night, looking at the stars. They even have a specific spot where they can set a blanket down and look up at them.

Sebastian definitely isn't aware of her Unique Magic until one time where she combusted because she was so stressed out. It stressed him out even more because she was on fire and he didn't know what to do. He was panicking and crying, thinking that she was dying. He almost got a heart attack when she jumped out the window because she wanted to see if she could fly while being fueled by flames.

Many times, he has asked about her world and she rambles on and on about how it was; usually he'll have his head in her lap and he's looking at her with a lovesick smile the whole time. The VP and Rollo have literally found them like that and the VP almost smacks her with a broom.

VP: GET OUT THIS IS NOT YOUR SCHOOL

Ivy: STFU I DO WHAT I WANT

He doesn't want to think about the fact that he might potentially lose her one day when she goes back home.

We’re (I’m) back with another set of sketches for Taurgust 2020! This batch will feature characters from another yet-unnamed project of mine that takes place in a High Fantasy setting. Thanks for all your enthusiasm, likes, comments, and shares so far! Centaurs sure make for a good time, don’t they?

TAURGUST SKETCH 0201: MILO feat. SEBASTIAN “BASH” THE CAT

Nestled deep within the mauve-colored groves of the Brumewood lives the centaur apothecary Milo in a humble and cozy little hut made of clay and stone. There, he brews potions and medicines of all varieties: most are used to heal wounds and mend bones, but certain, more arcane concoctions imbue their users with confidence, charisma, or a variety of other benign symptoms that could be used to improve their stations in life. Milo’s abilities as an apothecary are unrivaled by any other would-be herbalist or physician within the woodland kingdom of Brumea, and his altruism is such that he distributes his wares freely to those who need them most. However, his talents are limited by the forest’s edge: as a child, his grandmother instilled within him a profound fear of the lands beyond the Brumewood in order to keep him safe from those that would do him harm. Safe he may be, but his childhood fears became a timid and skittish agoraphobia in his adulthood. He does daydream of one day venturing into the other kingdoms that surround his familiar home, but it will require the help and urgency of someone more determined than him to bring him to finally do so.

Being the kind centaur that he is, Milo leaves trays of milk outside his hut for any hungry creature that might pass by. One such creature was a wild kitten with fluffy, black fur who would come to the centaur’s hut every day for his daily dose of dairy. The kitten began to linger at the hut when he learned that doing so often won him a few pets or some treats, until one day he just decided to stay. Milo named the kitten Sebastian after the hero in one of his favorite childhood fables and the two have been inseparable ever since, with Sebastian accompanying (and assisting) Milo while he gathers herbs and keeping the centaur calm with plenty of nuzzles and purrs.

1D Plus Sized Series // Rose Petals Pt. 1 (Harry)  “I can do this, if Rebel Wilson can kick ass, so can I” I encouraged myself in front of the mirror of my trailer. “You. Will. Kick. Ass” I repeated. Yeah, but everyone’s gonna see your rolls and your boobs and your thighs, not to mention your stretch marks and cellulite. Jesus aren’t you scared? Of course that little demon inside me would remind me of all my goddamn insecurities. Damn her to hell. I mean, it’s a sex scene for Christ sakes, do you really think you can pull off a sex scene?? With Harry Styles? HA Shit, she’s right. I can’t pull off a sex scene with Harry. Not for my first movie. I’m gonna have to tell the director that he’s either going to have to change this scene or get someone else who looks like me to do it because I am not… “Are you ready?” Harry asked, startling me as he came into the trailer. “Don’t they teach you how to knock in England, Harold??” I teased, closing my robe, hugging it towards my body “Sorry” he said lowly, “I’m just… I’m really nervous. It’s my first sex scene and I don’t want to mess up” he rubbed his most likely sweaty hands together. The director was nice enough to let me and Harry get to know each other before tackling the sex scene. Which sort of helped because Harry and I have gotten close and the scenes were so natural that it didn’t feel like acting. “I just want to get it over with.” See, he doesn’t even want to see you naked. Who would want to. Oh, please shut up you stupid… “You ok?” Harry asked, striding closer to me. “You’ve got that contemplating look on your face. Your eyebrows are all furrowed to the point that it’s already creating life long wrinkles.” He chuckled. I simply bit my lip and nodded at him before turning around to get my script off the dresser. I heard Harry sigh, “have you gone over the script?” “Yeah, about 100 times,” I chuckled nervously. “Joe’s… interesting.” “I thought the same thing. Hopefully we get it right the first time.” Harry stated, letting out a long breath I didn’t know he was holding in. He walked out of my trailer without so much as a goodbye. I tied my robe, fixing the curls over my shoulders before walking outside. As soon as I opened my trailer, my personal assistant, Rizzo handed me a shot of whatever. “Chug it, quickly” she smiled. Without so much of a thought process, I brought the small glass up to my lips, swallowing quickly, letting the vodka burst into my system to boost my confidence just a little. “I know you’re nervous, but trust me, you’ll be fine. You’re a damn good actress for a beginner.” I smiled at her, absorbing her affirmations to help cool my nerves. She guided me onto set, calling a makeup artist over to just go over my makeup one more time before shooting the scene. Harry was standing in the corner, getting his makeup looked over as well. 

“Ok, (y/n), Harry” Joe called out to us letting us know he was ready to start. I took off my robe, revealing my light blue cocktail dress with black lace lingerie beneath it. At least I had on something sexy that helped my confidence. Harry was wearing fitted black slacks with an equally black fitted dress shirt. God, he looked good to eat. “We’re starting right where we left off when you both were coming back from the date. Remember you both are a little tipsy, but not too much where you both don’t know what y'all are about to do, ok? Ready?” Harry and I both nodded, standing outside of his “apartment” door. The lights in the hallway of the apartment were bright and as soon as Joe yelled action, I laughed at something Harry said that was written on the script. He unlocked the door and we stumbled in, mildly to seem that we’re just tipsy. “And that’s the story of how I got my wisdom tooth removed.” Harry said, following his script. All signs of timidity gone. I giggled again, as I shut the door behind me. I’m about to act the shit out of this, I told myself. “When I meet your mother, I have to ask her to show me that video.” I chuckled expertly. I followed the script and took my shoes off to put them next to the door and walked in the rest of the way into the apartments living room. Harry had disappeared into the kitchen and brought back two clear, stubby glasses of scotch with ice and as soon as he handed it to me, I took a quick sip, realizing it’s just ginger ale pretending to be scotch. Really wish this was actual alcohol, I thought. “Pretty confident you’re gonna meet her, huh?” Harry’s character, Sebastian snickered, taking his glass up to his mouth, a small dropping was on the bottom of his lip as he quickly took it into his mouth licking the droplet. “Oh, t-that’s not what I meant, I just…” I pretended to stuttered, careful not to choke on my drink. “Relax, Doll. Perhaps… one day you will.” Harry smirked, taking the glass from my hand, placing them both on the coffee table in front of us before pulling me towards him. This was the part where he’ll take me to his room and sweet talk me into sleeping with him. This is the part where I have to relax and just let everything flow smoothly, disregarding the giant cameras in our faces and the people that are around watching us and Act. The. Damn. Shit. Out. Of. This. Once we were in his room, he placed me right in front of the bed while he stood behind me, slowly unzipping my dress. With every sound of the zipper, my heart would pick up steadily. Then that voice inside me started to whisper again, they’re gonna see your rolls, your thighs. Everything that you found so unattractive about yourself. I wanted to yell cut, I wanted to run back to my trailer, to disappear from the face of the earth, to go back to just being a student with dreams of becoming a veterinarian and never become an actress, anything to take me away from this precise moment. Just when I found my voice to yell cut, Harry’s lips tenderly ghost the skin of my shoulder so intimately. “Damn sweetheart, you’re so incredibly gorgeous,” he whispered, reminding myself that everything that was about to happen is scripted. The sleeves of my dress fell, leaving me only in my black lace bra and panties. The bra was split into two halves, the bottom part was a plain black all around, while the top showed off a tan, floral lace. The panties had a meshed back side that worked its way around the front, but just when it was going to get to my most intimate part, it was just solid black, almost like my panties did the teasing without me having to talk. I was standing in front of him, and a bunch of others, half naked. “I have a confession,” He mumbled into my skin. “I didn’t think you’d look twice my way when I first saw you at that party. I knew your name because of Alan and how much he talked about you. I had you pictured in my head. But when I saw you…” “You fell head over heels in love with me?” I finished for him, smirking more so for the camera than for him. He lightly bit my shoulder, “You’re touching the surface, Kitten.” He teased. “You utterly exceed my expectations. I want you. All through dinner, I had to contain myself and not take you there on the table.” His rough voice sending chills up and down my spine. “I wanted to tear this pretty dress off you and see what you’ve got underneath and let me tell you Marie, I’m not disappointed.” He squeezed my breast gently, sending a jolt between my legs. “Give me a moment.” Harry said, in the best American accent he can muster. I knew what he was getting, but my character didn’t. Once he stepped up behind me again, he brought a rose up to my lips, rubbing it against them, “your lips are as soft as this rose,” he murmured into my ear. I rolled my head back onto his shoulder as he slowly moved the rose down to my neck, down the valley of my breasts, circled my nipples with the rose while his other hand still fondling one of my breasts. “Your skin, the scent of one” he breathed, dragging it lower and lower down my body. Every piece of skin the rose touched, goosebumps quickly erected in its trail; goosebumps that I know Harry could feel beneath his touch. Once it reached my most intimate part, he circled it on the outer edges of my panties, applying little pressure making sure the rose doesn’t break, “the delicacy of a rose,” he brought his lips down onto my neck and sucked lightly, careful not to leave a mark. Harry dropped the rose to my feet, pulling me flush against his body, all his warmth surrounded me and hugged me like a blanket, “but when it comes to beauty, doll, you’re one of a kind.” Harry pushed my hair off my shoulders and kissed my neck, right where my pulse was beating rapidly. I knew Harry felt my heart beat because he smirked against my neck. “Lay down” he whispered. I disobeyed as I turned around, grinning up at him while I unbuttoned his shirt, “you exceed my expectations, too Sebastian” Harry brought both his hands to cup my face, rubbing my cheek as he leaned down to kiss me gently. Harry started out slow and progressed as I finally got all his buttons undone and slid my hands down his chest, down to his belt buckle. The kiss became so intense that Harry pulled back and connected our foreheads. “Are you sure about this?” He asked and I furiously nodded my head. Harry unclasped my bra while we passionately and breathlessly moved our mouths against each other at the foot of the bed, his hands roamed up and down my spine, touching the extra skin I was so worried about, but not really caring at the moment if he minded or not. As much as I wanted to hold back, I moaned into his mouth involuntarily. I tried to tell myself that it was just improv, but the moment I felt an unsettling feeling between my legs, I knew I was goner. “Cut!!” Joe yelled, unknowingly splashing cold water on me. Harry quickly pulled away from me out of breath, staring me in the eyes, a hint of red stinging his cheeks as he wrapped his shirt around me. “Harry, you’re going to need that shirt back because it’s coming off in the next scene.” Rizzo quickly ran to us with the makeup artist and he quickly applied another coat of foundation and surely fixing my smeared lipstick. “That was hot,” Rizzo commented. “Get ready for the next scene.” She wiggles her eyebrows as she ran back to her spot where she was watching me like the rest of the cast and crew. “Ok we’re starting where we left off. Harry you’ll have your hands on top of her shoulders because you’re going to start removing her bra straps.” Joe directed, sitting on a chair behind the camera, “Slowly, please. Everything from that point on is going to be slow and tender.” I took a deep breath, maybe a big enough one for me and Harry and slowly let it out through my nose. Now that everyone’s seen me half-naked, it’s not so nerve wracking, but now I have to pretend to have sex with Harry and it’ll be a whole new beast to tackle. Harry stood in front of me again, a cheeky smile playing on his lips, all signs of nervousness gone as he removed his shirt off me. He placed his hands on my shoulders, stepping closer to me. His lips were merely inches away from mine, “Action” Joe yelled and Harry attacked my lips again. His fingers oh so gently brushed my bra straps down my shoulders and slipped the bra off. Everyone was now familiar with my breasts and soon, the whole world will be, too. I slowly crawled backwards onto the bed, Harry’s lips still on me as he climbed over me. I slowly pushed his shirt off, throwing it gently to the floor. Once my head found a nice spot on the pillow, I reached down to unbuckle his pants, a camera settled right beside us. Once I managed to get his pants off and thrown to the side, I spent a little time longer, pretending to remove his boxers. My hand gently brushed him accidentally and I could feel his bulge. Harry sucked in a quick unsuspected breath that startled me a bit, but I went back into character because I really didn’t want to do this again. The blanket was only securing our waist, but Harry’s hands were grabbing my thighs and skimming the edges of my panties. “You’re beautiful, Marie.” He whispered, throwing me off for a second before I realized we were still acting. His hand closed around one of my breast, while his mouth kissed the other. That was unexpected, it also wasn’t on the script. He was careful not to kiss my nipple, but he squeezed it with his finger tips. “God, Sebastian,” I moaned, following the script. The feeling of his tongue against my neck was a sensation I want to grow accustomed too and to have over and over again. When his mouth began to explore my breast again, teasingly not touching my nipple, I needed to have him. In any way or form. Harry placed a wet lingering kiss right in the middle of my chest and began to gently grind against me, rubbing his thick, hot bulge against my soaked panties. Was he… hard? No, he can’t be… could he? He grabbed both my hands that were on his back and intertwined our fingers, bringing them both beside my head. “Oh, God.” He grunted. “You feel so good, Kitten” Harry breathed into my ear pretending to be inside me, making me push up into him with every thrust. I desperately wanted to wrap my legs around him to feel just a little more pressure on my clit, but if I did, it was going to look too real and I’d end up being mortified or have Joe yell out cut and start over. “Mm, you too,” I whispered, breathing heavily. And he did feel good, the rubbing against me was bringing me closer and closer to… oh no, I can’t cum. Not for real. Harry gradually picked up the pace, pushing more into me as I tried to contain myself. I was trying so hard not to thrash around, biting my lip to keep from whimpering out in pleasure, but to no avail, they still escaped me. Harry bent down, burying his face in my hair away from the camera and in the smallest, most softest voice he whispered, “I know you’re close.” It took everything in me to stay in character, but did he really just say that! I know for a fact that that was not on the script. No, this was not “Sebastian”, this was Harry. “Cum for me,” he whispered into my ear so only I could register what he said, maybe it’s just improv, I thought. Improv or not, I whimpered not wanting to give into my pleasure. His hands quickly went to my hips, grabbing them to use as leverage to further grind into me. I was so close, to Harry and to my demise.. “(y/n), cum for me” That was all I needed. My name out of his pretty strawberry, red lips was the last tug to my dam as I let go freely with a loud moan, hoping to God that everyone just thought I was that good of an actress. Harry grunted a couple of times announcing his climax, his were definitely acting, as he rolled off to the side. I needed to quickly compose myself because now we have to pretend to bask in the afterglow before Joe yelled cut again. I took long breaths before rolling onto his chest, my bareness pressed against him. “That was…” “Mind blowing” Harry finished. “So Goddamn mind blowing,” He bent down, kissing my nose, then kissing my lips. I cuddled into him as I shut my eyes, trying my best to regulate my breathing and bring my heart rate down from that very real climax. Did I really just cum in front of all these people? Oh God, what will Harry say after this? Maybe if I just lie and say I didn’t want to break character he’ll swallow it like a pill and we’ll never have to touch the subject again. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do. And just like ice cold water splashing on me for the second time, Joe yelled “Cut!!”

The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh

Release Date: March 11th, 1977

Inspiration: “Winnie-the-Pooh” by A.A. Milne

Budget: N/A

Domestic Gross: N/A

Worldwide Gross: N/A

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 100%

IMDB Score: 7.6/10

Storyline (per IMDB): Pooh, a bear of very little brain, and all his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood sing their way through adventures that encompass honey, bees, bouncing, balloons, Eeyore’s birthday, floods, and Pooh sticks

Pre-Watching Thoughts: We continue on with our first film of 1977 and the first package film since the 1940s, and the interesting note is that these three short films were released individually over the last decade before being grouped together in this film. The stories of that silly old bear named Winnie-the-Pooh are popular and putting them together was a wise idea, and this is another film that I used to like though I was more a fan of The New Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh TV show so we will see if this film still holds up well.

Voice Cast: Given that this film is basically three short films in one big film, you didn’t have to deal with hiring a lot of actors as they could work the same role aside from one role which changed with each short film due to when that film was released. In addition, this film is pretty much all returning actors and we start at the top with Sterling Holloway who voices Winnie-the-Pooh in perhaps his most memorable role as he was nearing the end of his career. We then have Bruce Reitherman who voices Christopher Robin in the Honey Tree segment as he was also nearing the end of his run, and then we have John Felder who voices Piglet as unlike the other two he was in the prime of his career. We then have Clint Howard who voices Roo in the first two segments as this would be his last appearance in an animated film for quite a long time, and then we have Barbara Ruddy who voices Kanga in what would be her final appearance before her death two years later. We then have Paul Winchell who voices Tigger in what would be his most memorable role, and then we have Junius Matthews who voices Rabbit in what was ultimately his final film role as he would pass away a year later. We then have Hal Smith who voices Owl in a bigger role than when we last saw him back in the Jungle Book, and finally we have Sebastian Cabot who provides the voice of the Narrator for all three films as this was his final film appearance before his death shortly after the film’s release. As mentioned, we did have a few debuting actors in this film as we have Jon Walmsley who voices Christopher Robin in the Blustery Day segment in what would be one of his only appearances in a film, and then we have Timothy Turner who voices Christopher Robin in the final segment along with the epilogue in what would be his only film appearance. We then have Ralph Wright who mainly served as a writer for Disney and he makes his only film appearance here as Eeyore, and then we have Doris Whitaker who voices Roo in the final segment in her only film appearance. Finally, we have Howard Morris who voices Gopher in what would be his only appearance in a Disney film as he would work in other films and TV shows. As mentioned, we were reaching the end for a lot of the crew that carried these films for the last few years and now we would look to a new crop of actors to carry the upcoming films.

Hero/Prince: N/A

Princess: N/A

Villain: N/A

Other Characters: Unlike the previous package films where there were different characters in each segment, this one is different as we have three short films in one and they feature the same characters for each other. To start, we have the main character of Winnie-the-Pooh who is a kind-hearted bear of very little brain as he is obsessed with honey, but he does what he can to help Christopher Robin as well as his friends with their problems. We then have Christopher Robin who serves as a father figure to Winnie-the-Pooh and the other inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood, and we see him go off to school at the end though he vows to remain by his friends’ side forever. We then have Pooh’s best friend Piglet, who is very timid but tries to be brave and is always there to help his friends, and then we have Rabbit who tends to get very annoyed by Pooh and Tigger as he opts to tend to his garden, but he does care for them and helps them when they are in need. We then have Eeyore the Donkey who is miserable and viewed as a pessimistic, but he also helps a friend in need as he goes to the trouble of finding Owl a new home after his is destroyed in the Blustery Day segment. Speaking of Owl, he is the smartest of the group though in his own mind and the gang come to him for advice, and then we have Kanga and her son Roo as Roo is keen to going on adventures and Kanga lets him despite her reservations. We then have Tigger the tiger who loves to bounce much to his friends’ frustration, specifically Rabbit who at one point tries to hold Tigger to a promise to never bounce again, and then we have Gopher who mainly goes about his business though he does try to assist in getting Pooh freed from Rabbit’s hole. Finally, we have the narrator of the film who helps segue between the segments though he also occasionally breaks the fourth wall by talking to the characters at certain times. Even though the title of the film is about Pooh’s many adventures, the film does a good job in balancing the other characters so that they feel just as important to the film as Pooh does.

Songs: If I am correct in my assumption, the most songs a film has had prior to this was seven and now this film surpasses it as it features an amazing ten songs which mainly take place during the first two segments. We first have the title song “Winnie-the-Pooh” which is a quick and easy tune to get things rolling, and then we have a few songs that Pooh sings including “Up, Down, Touch the Ground”, “Rumbly in my Tumbly”, and “Little Black Rain Cloud” which again are fairly short and sweet. We then have “Mind Over Matter” which the gang sing when they help Pooh out of Rabbit’s hole only for him to sail into the honey tree, and then we have Pooh singing “A Very Blustery Day” to help intro the next segment. We then have perhaps the three most memorable songs from this film aside from the title song with the first being “The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers” that Tigger sings not only in this segment, but the next one as well. We then have the iconic “Heffalumps and Woozles” that plays during Pooh’s dream and it is easily the best song from the whole film, and then we have another fun song in “The Rain, Rain, Rain Came Down, Down, Down” which is sung during the flood. Finally, we have the song “Hip-Hip-Pooh-Ray” which the gang sing at the end of the second segment to celebrate Pooh and Piglet as heroes. It is interesting that the third segment doesn’t have its own songs to go along with the other two, but considering the other two managed to squeeze five songs into their short time is more than enough to fill up the film.

Plot: Unlike the previous films where there has been one plot that threads throughout the film, this one is different as each short film has its own separate plot within the grand scheme of the film as each one is treated as a different story much like its source material. In the first short, Pooh runs out of honey and first tries to steal some from a honey tree to no success, and then he visits Rabbit and eats all of his honey though he stuck in Rabbit’s entrance hole. After some unsuccessful attempts, Christopher Robin and his friends finally pull him out only for him to get stuck in the honey tree, but Pooh obviously doesn’t mind as he has all the honey to his heart’s delight. In the second segment, a blustery day causes Owl’s tree to fall over and Eeyore vows to find him a new home, and Pooh is introduced to Tigger who tells him about honey stealers called “heffalumps and woozles”. Eventually, a flood causes the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood to take shelter at Christopher Robin’s house and due to a bit of dumb luck, Pooh rescues Piglet from the flood and Eeyore finds a new house for Owl which turns out to be Piglet’s home and Piglet willingly gives it up to Eeyore as Pooh takes Piglet in. In the third segment, Tigger becomes a bother to everyone in particular Rabbit and he takes Roo on a bouncing adventure, but they become stuck in a tree and Roo comes down with no trouble though Tigger is reluctant to come down. He promises to never bounce again to Rabbit’s delight and the narrator himself helps Tigger back to the ground, and he becomes depressed by never being able to bounce again though everyone convinces Rabbit to let him bounce again and everyone bounces away. In the epilogue of the film, Christopher Robin prepares to leave for school as his friends learn about what school is, and Christopher Robin and Pooh reflect on their friendship as they vow to be by each other’s side forever. Unlike other films which have an adapted screenplay from their source material, this was a case of just matching the pictures to the words as you could easily see these animations in the pages of the books.

Random Watching Thoughts: Unlike previous films that had the storybook beginning, we take it a step further here by having a child’s bedroom with stuff animals of all our favorite characters; Christopher Robin’s parents need to have a talk with him about keeping his room tidy; It’s funny that the book is titled “Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree” because this features 3 different stories; So instead of having the compass be north, south, east, and west, it is simply “P,O,O,H” for Pooh; He’s not helping Eeyore’s confidence if he names his home “Eeyore’s Gloomy Place”; That is the oddest design of Piglet ever since we never see him look like that at all in the film; Who is this Mr. Sanders?; Of course Pooh would have a cuckoo clock with a likeness of himself as the bird; So he exercises so he can get hungry; Considering that Pooh is such a honey fanatic, you wouldn’t expect him to have any other food in his house like condensed milk or a chocolate bar; All those honey pots in the house and he goes for the one in the cabinet yet that one is empty too; That bee should be at fault for in essence tempting Pooh to come to the tree and get their honey; It must’ve been weird watching this and having the film go back and forth with being a storybook and turning pages; That was quite a nasty fall Pooh took hitting all those branches and yet he came out unscathed, but I guess being full of fluff makes him a good cushion; It is also funny seeing some of the dialogue in the book and it ultimately never gets said in the film; Poor Eeyore is so gloomy that he is certain he will lose his tail again; Only Pooh would think that rolling around in mud would pass him off as a rain cloud; That balloon is either filled with a lot of helium or Pooh is just extremely light that he was able to float up that easily; How did Pooh not realize that the handful of honey he grabbed was covered in bees?; Pooh didn’t think his disguise through enough since most of it had fallen off of him by this point; Where did Christopher Robin suddenly get an umbrella?; How many bees were in that tree?; Again, there must have been a lot of helium in that balloon for it to last as long as it did before completely running out; Christopher Robin’s parents must’ve been so upset when he came home so muddy; Rabbit had quite the spread out for himself there; To be fair, Pooh did ask for a small helping and Rabbit gave him exactly what he asked for; What was Rabbit doing with all that honey anyway, and why would he ask Pooh if he wanted any more if there wasn’t any?; The door was big enough for Pooh when he came in, so clearly it was because he ate too much; What exactly is this book that Gopher keeps referencing?; That’s some interesting math Gopher was doing to figure out his price; Honestly, given how big the other door to Rabbit’s house is, they probably could’ve pushed Pooh back in and he could’ve went out the other door with no problems; Funny how Pooh shook and messed up the smile that Rabbit was doing and when we see him, he has that exact same crooked smile on his face; Pooh figured out what the flowers were and immediately thought he could eat them; That was a nice display Rabbit made, too bad Pooh ruined it with one sneeze; Of all the things Gopher can have, he has to have a pot of honey as part of his lunch; Rabbit is really confident that it was the day Pooh would be freed just based on the fact that he nudged a tiny bit; I love how they are making such a spectacle out of getting Pooh freed from Rabbit’s door; They saved him from flying out of the book simply by turning the page; Pooh will never be freed now given all that honey he is going to eat; The wind is blowing so hard that it is blowing the letters right off the page; “Pooh’s Thotful Spot”; It would be ironic if the day was actually Wednesday given that they were calling this day “Winds-Day”; What kind of a name is Trespassers Will?; Either the wind is blowing very hard or Piglet is just very light that he is blown up into the air that easily; Piglet is in legit danger and yet Roo wants to fly him like he is a kite; Eeyore said that his house could withstand anything, but he didn’t plan on Pooh crashing through it like that; Owl asks if it is a blustery day outside and yet he doesn’t notice that the tree is rocking back and forth to the point that it may fall over; That teacup was filled with coffee at one point yet it is completely empty when it falls on top of Piglet; Even though that tree looked very old, the wind really need to be bad if it just tipped over like that; Good on Eeyore to volunteer to find Owl a new house; Interesting fact, if you pay close attention the pages have the same words on them when the narrator mentions how long Owl was talking; If Pooh had never heard that growling before, why would he assume that it was either Piglet, Eeyore, or Christopher Robin?; A running joke we’ve established is that they don’t recognize their own reflection in the mirror; Tigger says he loves honey, takes a few bites, then decides that he doesn’t like it; Pooh maybe a bear of very little brain, but he is a lot smarter than he lets on since he knows Tigger meant to say elephants and weasels; The heffalumps and woozles scene looks like it was done by someone who was on  an acid trip, this segment was made in the 60s after all; That was quite a downpour if it was able to wash away all those words; The choir says that Pooh rescued 10 honeypots, but if you count he actually had 11 with him not counting the one he was diving his head into; The flood waters are able to engulf everyone else’s houses, yet it stops right before it gets to Christopher Robin’s house; Eeyore was committed to finding a house for Owl; Where did that whirlpool come from and where did that waterfall come from?; Pooh was so oblivious to being told that he saved Piglet until Christopher Robin called him a hero and wanted to give him a party; You would think Eeyore would know that is Piglet’s house only to say it is Owl’s because of the letters on the sign, but yet he thinks the “I” is actually an “O” and he thinks “Owl” is spelled “Wol”; That was mighty big of Piglet to let Owl take his house even if it meant he had no place to live; Pooh was so upset that the next chapter was mostly about Tigger until he was told that he was in it; They at least had the foresight to add “Also Piglet” to Pooh’s mailbox; That was a quite a mess that Tigger made knocking Rabbit and his vegetables over; Rabbit calls for a protest meeting yet only Pooh and Piglet show up, and Pooh looks like he would rather be anywhere else but there; Rabbit is so confident that Tigger will lose is bounce if he is lost in the woods not realizing that Tigger could always find his way out eventually; No matter what way they go, they always end up at the same sand pit; Piglet had the look on his face like his head was hurting trying to understand what Pooh was saying; Leave it to Pooh following his stomach that he and Piglet would find their way out of the mist; Even Disney can take a simple scene like this and make it appear scary; So they say what season it is simply by saying the next chapter includes a snowfall; That was a fairly nice figure 8 that Rabbit made in the ice especially without skates; Tigger goes through the snow while Rabbit is less fortunate as he crashes through his house; That was a really high tree that they jumped out of the book; I love how Roo just assumed he could use Tigger’s tail as a swing; Pooh follows his own tracks thinking they belong to someone else and then he thinks Piglet’s tracks belong to someone else; Can’t say I ever heard of a “jagular” before; Everyone is so worried about Tigger being up in the tree yet Rabbit is content with him staying there; Christopher Robin is wearing a jacket, sweater, and boots in the snow, yet he is also wearing shorts and shows no sign of freezing; Tigger wants the narrator to narrate him down so all the narrator does is turn the book sideways so Tigger can get on the words and the narrator has him slide down; Rabbit was so happy that Tigger couldn’t bounce anymore until everyone else they miss the old Tigger and in essence guilt him into agreeing with them; Rabbit is so hesitant to bounce yet he hops around; I love how Tigger basically did an impression of Tony the Tiger from the Frosted Flakes cereal commercial; Pooh doesn’t want things to end so he just asks the narrator to go back to the first page; So Christopher Robin is basically like any other kid who prefers doing nothing instead of doing something; When Christopher Robin is 100, Pooh will be 99?; Now the cover of the book simply says “Winnie-the-Pooh”.

Overall Thoughts: Overall, this was a solid film that was easily the best of the package films that have been released, though it was a slight step down especially since these shorts were released previously separately so this just felt like a cash grab. Considering we have another film coming out this year, I wonder if that film had fallen behind and they needed to release something so they just threw this together to put out there since Winnie-the-Pooh was a pretty popular character. This was an interesting time for Disney as a new wave of animators were starting to make their mark in the company and were looking to take the company to the next decade, and we will see how that plays out when we get the second film released this year. As for this film, it is a pretty solid film though nothing too spectacular and it was a fine outing for Disney.

Final Grade: 6.5/10

The faults in my friends

I have some friends. As of now. I consider them friends. I believe they put up with me, deal with me, and offer company voluntarily with no intentions of repayment behind their amicability.

Sebastian the Eagle

Independent And dashing. He’s tall, tower over others, and always watching. He is observant, but not for the motive of protecting himself, but rather to capsize on opportunities. There are always moments to be chanced upon, and Sebastian’s watchfulness allows him to take advantage of openings. He dresses in a rugged, but not dirty or unruly manner. He does not dress for opinions of wealth nor high fashion, he does not billboard colors and slogans and logos. Rather, his dull combination of patterns and colors make him feel rustic, and very sure of the world. Knowing what he has to offer, what he must do to offer such insights, as well as what others may offer him.

Like an eagle he soars over others. He in incredibly smart, ignoring race, gender, as other social economic statuses. He has been granted many benefits and where others may waste them or flex them, he is very humble, knowing he already stands high above others, and seeks only to ascend more upwards, rather than constantly watching below. His father had a good position for his early schooling, his college as well as athletic history grants him many opportunities that others may not have the motivation or ability to achieve, let alone combine together. His coloration is also much like an eagle. Earthen tones as well as earthen patterns are compose his normal attire, but he does wear flares, of colors or graphics. He is independent like an eagle in the sense he is sure of himself, and knows that for his improvements, only he can achieve it. No matter how much assistance or leverage he may receive, it is only his ability to utilize it that ultimately helps him go higher.

My opinions on Sebastian may be limited, I only know the surface of him, with occasional glimpses into his inner mind. He is very driven, however. Fierce. He does not frown or sneer in intimidation, but rather, focuses. His eyes are always determined, never shifting in suspicion or accusation. Perhaps that is what strikes the most respect and awe for all his peers and onlookers, not his size, appearance, nor intellect, but his composure.

Sebastian does not surface many fears. Like an eagle, he soars above and always watches. Watches for himself, and watches for others. In a spectrum of watching out and watching for. In our limited conversations, he indicates a different persona underneath. I feel he has insecurities he never surfaces or shows, perhaps the opportunity never arises. All his masks that he wears during the day govern him respect, he is rarely put in the position of seeking help. But even eagles return to nests at night, to nurture, and to rest. In our conversations, he sometimes stumbles over his words, or misconstrues the words of others. Perhaps it is prolonged independence that has strewed his communication in ways he is not used to. He does have friends, a team, and fits in well, but I believe it is rare he gets to open up. It is important to not confuse independence with isolation.

fear of insecurities

Aaron the monkey

Smart. He has the mind for wealth, enjoys the pursuit and promise of higher position and opportunity. He is artful, enjoys many sorts of music, very composed and analytical and accepting.

He is very submissive. I feel he elopes for acceptance. I believe his brother’s leaving may have damaged him in some way, leaving him with a scar of dissonance or nonacceptance. He enjoys losing himself through drugs, as well as hooking up with females, forming severable connections.

Perhaps this is his method to cope. By fantasizing himself with different females, which he has a very solid and real ability to do so, he justifies to himself his acceptance of a male figure. He dresses to flex, though more calmly than many other counterparts of his age. Perhaps it too is for acceptance within multitudes of communities. Sectors of wealth, age, physical attraction.

Handy like a monkey. But also must feel inclusive to the group. Wielding strong intellect, but also acknowledging the preference in power and company. 

seeks acceptance

Kendy the lion

He is proud, easy going, open minded. Sometimes he is too lax, but that is not an immediate flaw. He has good intellect and intuition, values money well, and has a very strong grasp on economics and the development of wealth.

He has become too content. He is in a powerful position in life, with many open opportunities. He compares himself to a lion. He even has a mane, his hair resembles one. He is boastful and proud, important trails, but only when balanced with humility.

Proud like a lion. Pompous like the mane. Wields strength within himself, but has also become lax like a resting lion.

too prideful

Kenny the duck

Kenny is big. He dresses in a masculine manner, is rough, boisterous, but also humorous. He is calm, keeps to himself, and knows his own worth, but is not pompous.

Kenny is very simple. He can keep company, or be company, and can hold his own in any scenario. He is good among friends. However, he is simple. Not a high business man, but a man of his word. He is smart, but his decisions are simple decisions. Others flock to him.

Like a duck, he can be aggressive. He puffs his chest and hisses, fending off through intimidation. But he is just him. He can entertain, enjoy, and stand his own. He flies, swims, walks on all terrain. But he is a duck, a fowl. Not the makes of a hawk, a lion, or a shark. 

lacks development 

Denis the bear

Denis is very attractive. He has a button nose, like a bear. He is cute, and attractive, but also somewhat fierce. He is dominant, and can impose himself upon lower groups. He is big too, a nice physique with his face, complimenting his inner content.

He hibernates. Many times, he feels lack of motivation, or perhaps a greater power inhibiting him. He will do what needs to be done, take aggression when needed. But like a bear in headlights, or perhaps a bear being hunted, sometimes he does not know how to act, or acts inappropriately.

His face and size impose like a bear. He is dominant, masculine, and powerful. But like a bear, inside, he enjoys sleep more than work. He can put himself into much higher positions, but seeks to avoid aggression, even if small, when possible. He enjoys his territory, the cubs he has made. He does not seek to take on others. Confident in his own skin, he does not seek to grow larger. Perhaps for the sake of his own comfort.

self inhibition

Riz the chameleon

Riz, likewise, is also quite attractive. He has a nice jaw, nice hair, and colorful and artful aesthetics. Much like a chameleon. He can adapt to many situations, wearing his appearance, voice, and personality as camouflage. He takes life one step at a time, enjoying the moment with good company.

He uses his traits as camouflage, as aforementioned. He wears colors boldly, wields himself proudly. But he can still be hurt. He is attentive like the chameleon, always watching and adapting. Fitting in but also standing out. His hair standing up also somewhat resembles the spines you’d see on a lizard’s head. Big eyes and gorgeous colors, he is beautiful.

Like a chameleon, he constantly shifts, and watches, and readjusts to blend in. Yet within the setting, he stands out boldly and proudly. Like a chameleon, he is fast and cunning. He can wait or he can lash out, with both traits equivalently strong. However, he does not stand out in a pompous manner. He too can get hurt, can be preyed on, and though camouflage and attentiveness are defenses, there are many things he can not protect himself against. He enjoys life in the moment, and takes unforeseen losses as they come. Analytical, and quick to adjust, he is the essence, but not the center of a party.

does not stand out

Anushtup the chinchilla

petite and cute, with plump cheeks, Anushtup is much like a domesticated pet. However, he is exotic. He is definitely smart, being able to squeeze through conundrums that may befall him. However, he is inhibited by many factors as well, some out of his control. He finds joy and sorrow in life, but understand there are greater forces behind veils of reality. He feels, and reacts to these circumstances, but merely accepts them as they come. like a house pet, he has become content, unwinding in afternoon slivers of sun, rather than prowling on savannas or taking arbitrary risks.

Anushtup’s small size allows him to blend in to many situations. I feel he wants to stand out but for many factors, simply can not. Likewise, he dresses subtly, though not in a bad manner. His clothing, though quite expensive, is a studied taste, and though they do not call for attention, they can very much incite thought and invoke deeper emotions behind them. Easily over looked due to his normality, his attire blending in, it is an art form how he wields and acts, a sort of studied negligence.

I do not know Anushtup well. Often times, I find myself misconstruing his meanings and connotations to his words. He is playful and energetic, often cunning and mischievous. However, he understands his hand was not a one that wins the game. Where others crush obstacles, asserting themselves, he maneuvers around. Higher powers do help him often, as he tries to make sense of the mazes that befall him. Yet each day, he finds time to enjoy his predicament. The beauty in overlooked moments of life. Perhaps this is because he himself, is often overlooked. He seeks to make connections but unlike the rat, he is timid and exotic.

Sophisticated and exotic, yet small and overlooked, like a chinchilla. It is an obstacle that may be out of his hands, to assert and overcome in not just size. But he has made good company, loyal connections are superior to vasts networks. He knows himself more than anyone else. I think it is for the better he does not call attention to himself. Like fine art, he is best admired from a distance, and truly appreciated by a select few.

Bruins win ugly over Islanders, as Hurricanes creep on bubble

The Boston Bruins got two goals form their fourth line and an outstanding performance form their backup goalie. The New York Islanders got nothing out of their power play and were gassed in the third period, playing their second game in as many nights.

And that’s how you get a 2-1 win for Boston in Brooklyn, as they grab sole possession of the last wild card slot in the Eastern Conference.

[Follow Puck Daddy on social media: Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tumblr]

Tuukka Rask couldn’t play for the Bruins due to a crippling battle with timidity, er, a “lower body injury.” So Anton Khudobin stepped up with 18 saves on 19 shots, which is another way of saying that the Islanders only generated 19 shots on goal. They average 30.5 shots per game; Boston is the second-best team in the NHL in shot suppression, 26.5 shots per game to opponents.

The offense was provided by, who else, Riley Nash. Yep. Two goals for Nash. Why not?

The Islanders had six power plays. Combined with the 0-for-1 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night, and that’s a huge goose egg from a unit that tallied twice against the New York Rangers earlier in the week. Coach Doug Weight has made a lot of right moves in his tenure with the team. Here’s a wrong one, by his own admission: Rookie Josh Ho-Sang didn’t see the ice with the first-unit power play until the Islanders failed at five of them.

The Bruins now have 84 points, with seven games left and six of those at home. The Islanders have 82 points with eight games left, five of them on the road.

The game in-hand is huge; the Bruins’ 37-33 lead in non-shootout wins looms larger.

Even better for the B’s: The Buffalo Sabres thumped the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-2, on Saturday night. They’re a point back for third in the Atlantic, but the Leafs have a game in-hand. Surprisingly, given they’re division rivals, they don’t face each other again.

Meanwhile, there are some other party guests knocking at the door.

The Tampa Bay Lightning (81) are now three in back of the Bruins, but they have a game in-hand and a game against the Bruins left on the schedule.

The Carolina Hurricanes (79 points) defeated the New Jersey Devils. They have TWO games in hand on the Bruins, with nine games remaining. Six of those games are at home. They also have a game with the Islanders remaining. The Canes are 7-0-3 in their last 10 games.

Sebastian Aho, who had two goals, in March? He’s got five goals and seven assists in 14 games.

The Florida Panthers and Philadelphia Flyers have 77 points, but time is running short. The Panthers defeated the Blackhawks by a 7-0 score on Saturday night. Here’s really the only highlight you should care about:

cole's spice tolerance is EXTREMELY low. yes, he thinks that doritos are spicy even though he really wants to eat them more often because GAMER CHIPS AND HE'S A GAMER (but in a cool way!! not in a lame way!!)

also about cole being jealous of sebastian, it's kinda related to him not having any energy to try and become better. cole actually wants to do something great and achieve something, but he just.. doesn't understand why he should do it. he's not jealous of rollo, because rollo is like his boss, of course he's gonna be better than him at most things! but he and sebastian are mostly equals or maybe cole's position is actually supposed to be a bit higher than his and considering how proud cole is of becoming rollo's vp.. yeah, it hurts him to see that sebastian is good at so many things, meanwhile cole doesn't have any talents except knowing a lot about internet, slang, pop culture and also talking a lot. and he doesn't even think of it as his strengths, he secretly thinks these traits only make him more annoying. so yes, it's kinda like sebastian ruined his first great achievement for him, because cole thought that him being a vice president would be very impressive, but sebastian is much better at doing all the work, so cole is like "great!! thank you so much!! WHY DID I EVEN TRY I KNEW THAT THERE'S NO POINT IN THIS"

is there truly a way to be a cool gamer, cole. is there. NOT THE DORITOS. COLE COME ON. BE SO FR RN.

See, that's something I love about their dynamic bc sebastian is out here stressing more and more each day with all the files he has to complete and he wishes that he could be more acrefree like cole. Being the vice president MUST be a good position, isn't it? It must be, if cole can relax so much. Sebastian is also slightly jealous of him because he can relax and kick back, not worried about anything other than having fun or doing what he wants but sebastian's first instinct is to stress himself out 😭
