The relationship of Tecna and Timmy is so romantic.
It may be not as visible, because the show has couples being romantic in a more classical way, but Timmy and Tecna actually have so many tender, gentle and vulnerable moments. They are so sweet together, and awkward, and then out of nowhere hit you with the deepest scenes imaginable. They are so Jane-Austen's-characters'-coded lol.
Like this short scene of a game from season 2 (first gif)??? This is so romantic and sensual, you wouldn't expect it from them.
Their conflict in the second season was that Tecna at first cared about rather performative bravery (literal fighting, close combat) + wanted something more than just talking about their hyperfixation. Timmy, on the other hand, thought in a more logical way: he knew his strengths, and that he's better at strategy and computers, and wasn't interested in posing as a hero just to feel good about himself (this scene where he realizes he isn't strong enough against Trix and so he gives away the Codex). He also wanted to get closer to Tecna, so it makes sense he tried to connect on their common hobby, at first not realizing that Tecna, with her emotional growth, started to want a little more than this. And you can understand them both, and both have good points.
And Timmy is a freaking badass. He always thinks logically (I'd argue that even more than Tecna, like this scene with Codex, where she called him a coward for not doing something that was doomed from the start), and so the scene in the third season hits so much. You know which one. All Winx cry and Riven tries to comfort Timmy (I really like the fact it's Riven who does that btw, but this is a material for another post), trying to bring reason to him, politely saying that there's no way Tecna is still alive, and Timmy says in a calm and sure way that he knows she is alive. If Timmy says something like that, you know he's right.
I guess the scene from the second season, when Winx go to fight Lord Darkar and specialists stay at the back, sums up their relationship in the best way: Timmy stays inside the ship, because it is his role to navigate it, and he and Tecna look at each other, just sighing each other's names (though they cannot hear it). Their love is so, so deep. And a relationship like the one they have wouldn't fit everyone, since both of them don't need to spend as much time together as others, nor do they have to say as much (but if they say how much they love each other, oh they say it), and they both share their hyperfixation/special interest, but all of this works perfectly for them. They're a match made in heaven. And come to think of that, we have this popular fanon that Tecna is on the spectrum of autism, but I wonder if there is any fanon like this for Timmy? I also feel like being demisexual or graysexual fits them both (maybe I just like the idea of Tecna, a character whose main arc is understanding and expressing emotions, feeling sexual desire only to someone who she has a strong connection with, I guess it feels kinda poetic to me).

I absolutely adore your art style! Do you have any tips? Specifically for the fairies cause I am struggling to draw them.
thank you so much! well, this is gonna be a long post.
Im gonna be real, the best art advise anyone can give you is to use references and to break complicated stuff down into easier shapes. for example:
this is my basic body skeleton! i always start with the circle of the head and work my way down to the feet. i have highlighted some part of the body which are actually just simple shapes.
the center line down the middle of the torso also helps me draw on collars, bra cups, ties, or any other more difficult clothing more accurate!
However i have to ask you, are you comfortable while you draw?
I remember when I first started drawing digital, i was really uncomfortable with the basic set up of my program. The white canvas and the light setting of the program was really bright and irritated my eyes. And the contrast of the pure black I used for drawing wasn't really helping. sketching and doing line art was my least favorite part of drawing because of this.
you don't have to draw on a white canvas, you can also use multiple colours for sketching if you wanted. Once I stoppend using a pure white canvas I noticed i stopped staring at a empty canvas not knowing what i wanted to draw anymore!
also sometimes when a drawing doesn't want to look right, i switch back to traditional. idk why but when my brain sometimes struggles with a specific pose or character design, it comes to me a lot more easier when I switch back onto paper. i guess the change of scenery opens up the creativity again haha.
don't be afraid to simplify stuff, you don't have to draw everything! As long as it still translates to the thing, it should be fine.
these two are a bit clip studio exclusive,
but Gradient maps! god how I love my gradient maps, it just makes the colours pop! I never draw without it anymore. I always pick the sunset gradient, put it in Linear light mode and put it on 10% (cus its really saturated on 100%)
usually i have it on while i sketch and line, and turn it off so i can properly colour and shade. i turn it back on at the end again
the clip studio assets has a lot of beautiful stuff in there created from other users. (a good amount for free too) for example I got the lace pattern of my shawl from there. and its really easy to import the downloaded stuff into the program.
now this is a drawing hack that blew my mind when I first saw it! i use it all the time and I just have to share this!
whenever you want to draw something random like sparkles, stars, bubbles, feathers, falling leaves, or anything that you want to float around your characters, position them in the form of a triangle.
its even better if you put two points of the triangle closer together and then the third further away. this makes it look random but still looking appealing to the eye, and not oddly placed.
now that thats out of the way! Fairies! The one thing i struggled with when drawing them first is their hair. I suggest looking through the fop tag to see how other people have drawn them and take inspiration from your favorites and make up your own. (do not trace tho! that should be obvious!)
when I draw hair I think of it separated in two parts, the front and the back. I usually start with the front hair pieces, then draw in the jaw, ears and rest of the head, then continue with the back section of the hair.
the only outliers of this are Timmy and Peri. when I draw Timmy (Ymmit as well) I start with his hat, before drawing his hair. Since I draw Peris hair-swirl over his hairline, i start drawing his upper back hair style first before drawing his head and then his mullet.
wings can also be tricky. the fairy wings i have given then have a more butterfly look. if you also want to base off the wings to real life animals or bugs you can use them flying as references to. Or you could even cut out the wing shape out of paper, fold it in the middle and take pictures in the angle you desire.
I hope this somehow helped, I thought about what could have helped me if I had known it sooner. even if most of these were for generic drawing.
#my art#asks#art tips#drawing advice#clip studio paint#fop#if anyone has more questions about how i draw#once i open up the ask boy again feel free to do so

Riddle watches New Wish - Post #9
I like how Hazel seems to be making friends one at a time! I feel like most shows introduce friends as pre-established, or they become friends in the first episode. Hazel seems to be gathering them over time, which is great.
Why is he even allowed to HAVE those drones?
... Shout-out to Wynn (sp? I don't dare look since I'm avoiding spoilers) for having freckles on only one cheek. Definitely unique for this universe.
-> I lied.
I really like how Wanda has stuck to calling Hazel "squirt." It's super fitting for her.
FATHER TIME!! He's back! ... No dad jokes this time.
SLDJKFSLDKFJSKLDFJSLKDJFSDKLJFSKLD run that by me again?!?!?!
Father Time: "This wish involves 15 minutes of fame. That's a time. Therefore, it is under MY jurisdiction." Cosmo: Oh, there was a whole lawsuit a few years ago. The Poofpreme Court had to get involved."
"Timmy's Secret Wish" LIVED!! We are eatin' good tonight!!
Dev's little leggies...
Is this the first time Cosmo and Wanda have been in object form other than Hazel's bubble popper things?
slkdfj Hazel's shirt belonged to her brother. Everything in this girl's life revolves around a brother we've not yet seen. Love that for her. That's gonna be a great episode.
-> What if he comes back and he's changed a lot because he's been away at college? Ruh-roh...
Oh, Father Time's back and making dad jokes again.
Nick of Time!! I love her. The coach aesthetic was a good touch. Instant new favorite. I have the PERFECT place for her in 'fics.
I think it's funny that Cosmo and Wanda's running gag is talking about things they did on their 10k-year vacation since one of the things they did in the OG series was talk about how they'd been married 10k years.
Hazel speeding through her remaining time with a song montage is very funny.
I've seen that rat design. Where have I seen that rat?
SLDKFJSLDFJSLDFJSLKDFJ MY SON!!!!!
I know him!! He's canonically a dad now?? ... I was already writing him as a dad, but now it's justified.
Flappy, what have they done to you? Where are your parents?? Was the Musical all for naught?
Listen. Listen, I know they would never do this because it was such a one-off thing. but... Flappy used to carry Gary and Betty in his briefcase and it was so weird. I'm gettin' flashbacks.
I liked that episode! That was great.
28 Puddings Later
I like how Violin Gal is a recurring gag.
Why are they teaching 12 minus 1 in 5th grade- Oh, they're simplifying fractions.
Timmy is on even more posters in this school- What did he do? This isn't even his city.
Pudding-eating episode going a zombie movie route was not on my list. Fantastic. I'm glad Cosmo and Wanda's crowns glow in the dark; it's great.
Hazel not wanting to unwish her infinite pudding wish because she hasn't gotten any yet is super clever and justified.
Jasmine: I am once again sus of my BFF Hazel and her connection to weirdness.
Okay, with the lights off in the halls, this is a lot more difficult on my hemophobia... I don't think I'll be sharing screenshots I might run across later, though I definitely think Dev's zombie pose is great.
Holy cow, that's a lot of red lighting on the pudding. I don't think I'm watching this one again, but I'm enjoying the plot itself.
We are once again treated to a photo proving they have 2D bodies in this universe, and it once again cracks me up.
Many, many brown-eyed characters! They're free from the curse...
This is what reality is like when you jump the border to Retroville. Everything looks bulgy, but in reality... you're still flat. I especially like how reality morphs to fit the FOP style, like the pink hair flipping around. I think I've seen someone with their haircut like that in the old show, though I forget who, so that would imply they wear it like the first picture.
Unreasonably funny to me that Dev's glasses shine - usually a classy blue - becomes much duller when it switches to "actual FOP style." His coolness factor drops. I love it.
... His hair REALLY reminds me of his dad's. I distinctly remember Dale's being fluffy, which is why he looks like the pixie godkid listed in Da Rules, but... Dev's got the same "front flare." I'm gonna look it up.
-> Oh, "Nectar of the Odds" is Season 2, not 3. I did not remember that. Also, Dale's hair is a little more orange than I remember, and he really does have dark blue eyes. I can absolutely see the similarities between him and Dev. That's fantastic.
... I am just now remembering I think I have a character outline for Dale in my Along the Cherry Lane draft. Let me see...
SLDKJFSLDKFJ, I did! I had him marrying Ed Leadly's daughter (the first FOP OC I ever made, Hadley) and having a son named Dave, which is very close to Dev.
I don't really know what to do with this information. I think I want to do less with this information. I'm so sorry, Hadley- maybe Dev will get a canon mom.
Well, Dev having red hair when you have black probably saved you, tbh.
She doesn't have her dad's black hair. I misremembered. It's brown. Uh-oh.
Anyway, I LOVE how Hazel saw her "ruined" class picture and was ecstatic because she knew her mom and brother would love how memorable it was. That's super cute. She's living a great life.
I don't know if I'd still call her miserable enough for a fairy, but she's adorable and I'm glad her life is going okay.
And still... he lurks.
Last one tonight! ... I didn't think I'd make it through this many before my bedtime, but okay.
Trial & Hair-or
I cannot believe we're getting the 2nd "living hair" plot (Hair with personality vs. hair with spirit), though I doubt this one will go the helicopter route.
Diana and Sparky would be great friends. I will not elaborate.
Crying, Hazel admiring her bald head and thinking it's cool. Her motivation for getting her hair back is so her hair doesn't cause chaos? She's so pure.
I hate them.
Just heard Hazel say Cosmo's name. Has she said Wanda's name often? I feel like their names haven't been repeated a lot for new audiences, but I also wasn't paying attention.
Fishbowl instinct...
This was a goofy episode and I loved it. Bedtime now. We'll see if I watch more throughout the week or just save it 'til after my big stuff on Friday. See you around!
#Riddle watches FOP#New Wish spoilers#Pending Hazel tag#Pending Dev tag#FAIRIES!#Dragonfly parents#Long post#screenshots#Get Flappy!#Hadley and Eryx#<- A tag I am shook to be posting here#Cherry lemon ship tag

Tim Drake's Mom is actually Lara Croft! AU
After getting pregnant Lara Croft disappears off the face of the earth, takes up a shell company in Gotham left to her by her father, and assumes the identity Janet Drake.
(DC made Timmy's parents archeologists! so Sis it was between Indiana Jones or the Tomb Raider and well here we are!)
___________________________________________________________
Lara Croft has a daring archeological adventure/world saving mission with a dashing man she only knows as N. Drake (if u know u know) and finds out she's pregnant weeks after.
Lara Croft did not expect to be Pregnant. Lara knows that she shouldn't have a baby. She knows this intellectually and emotionally, she doesn't have any family left and after nearly 10 years of traveling the globe and putting herself in life or death situations she knows her life can't accommodate children. Lara knows the responsible thing to do, she makes an appointment with NHS/MSI and focuses on her next project. (TW: Discussion of Abortion)
Lara never gets her appointment. She misses her abortion date in London when she gets caught up in another mad expedition that takes her half way across the world.
On this mission she nearly looses everything, her friends, her own life, what's left of her father's legacy, all for a semi cursed magical artifact that nearly blows up the South American Coast.
Lara's tired, scared, she's been running from Trinity (evil org) for nearly a decade now . She's 29, she's 5 months pregnant, and she's stuck floating on her back in the middle of the South Atlantic sea watching the sky burn.
Lara's rich she could always get the abortion, legally or otherwise, her father left her a billionaire and the souvenirs she'd collected from her travels do nothing but add to that wealth.
Trinity wants Lara Croft dead, they'll never stop chasing, and Lara just wants respite. She wants her quaint childhood in the English countryside with her father, she wants to curl up and sleep for a thousand years. She wants to be someone else, just for a moment.
Her heart beats wildly in her chest and she can almost feel another heart beating alongside it.
Lara Croft makes a decision. She sinks into the sea and doesn't come back up for air even when it burns.
On the shore a nameless woman washes up, water logged and looking for passage to America.
The Croft's have had shell companies for years, one can't be a billionaire these days without at least a few, Medi-industries is an unassuming medical supplier located in Gotham, New Jersey the crime capital of North America. It's the perfect place to disappear.
Janet Drake Lands in Gotham on a gloomy morning in March, she's got enough money to throw around that people forget to ask what family she's from, this is Gotham new money is nearly unheard of.
By mid April Janet has reestablished control of Medi-Industries, Now Drake Industries, and purchased an old English style mansion in Bristol, which the real-estate agent has assured her is a great neighborhood.
Timothy Jackson Drake is born July 19th at nearly 3 in the morning squalling high into the night like a banshee. He is perfectly healthy and perfectly safe in Janet's arms.
It is only in the safety of their home, in the house Janet picked, because it was high on a hill for tactical advantage and had bullet proof glass nestled between quaint wood paneled windows, It is only in the heart of Drake Manor that Lara dares to Whisper her son's name
"Timothy Jackson Croft"
-------------------------
AU ALSO INCLUDES!
Badass Lara Croft being the cool mom TM
A family portrait of the Drakes, Including Janet, baby Tim, and a mysterious Jack Drake (who was a very discreet and well paid member of Gotham's theatre society, and who was also more then happy to pose as a rich ladies dead husband for a day)
A Socttish Nanny/Housekeeper with a very keen eye and discreet mouth who will not tell a soul that she is fairly sure she's employed by Lord Richard Croft's, eccentric billionares, missing daughter.
precocious and slightly British accented baby Tim who gets to have his Mom with him for 10 whole years! before she inevitably runs back off to save the world
Tim being unaware of his mother's past life beyond her name until the age of 13 when he becomes Robin and is able to actually find out what his mom's been protecting him from his whole life.
I imagine in this AU that eventually Trinity finally catches wind of where Lara is hiding and she has a big confrontation with them in New Jersey. It's way too close to Gotham and Tim for her comfort, she knows this is the only chance she'll get to control the chaos.
So she packs Tim up to move him into the dorms at Gotham Academy and promises she'll write and be home for his birthday in the summer. After she's finished her "company" business first of course.
Tim's confused but he trusts his mom, he gets unsigned postcards from all over the world and pins them above his bed in the dorm and goes to sleep trying to guess what country she's in every night.
The move to the dorm is kind of cool to Tim as well because it means he can start his plan to follow Batman and Robin in the city! (in this AU there's no way Lara wouldn't have noticed him sneaking out at 9, but Gotham academy security? totally oblivious)
Tim celebrates his 10th birthday with his mom at home, he has so many freaking questions about where she was! and she tells him outlandish stories about daring fights and cursed artifacts that he rolls his eyes at but enjoys none the less.
it isn't till he's 15 that his Robin work and his mom's adventures cross paths.
After so many years of close calls, of hiding bruises from his mom with same concealer she uses to hide her own wounds, of wondering if it was selfish to wish his Mom cared a little bit less about the world and would stay with him for more then a few weeks at a time. Finally it all comes to a head in the worst way. Lara Croft's latest adventure puts her right in the middle of a Bat Level investigation. It has Tim near loosing his mind with worry hoping his mom is alive and Lara having the worst freakout/Blow up of her life realizing her son has been putting himself in Danger every night she thought he was safe.
The Drake/Crofts are messy! Bad at communicating! And unfortunately the exact same kind of reckless and self sacrificing!
Fun food for thought:
Lara canonically is a killer, if you've played any of the reboot Tomb Raider series she can be pretty gruesome and efficient! Very cool! Jason would stan! Tim is kind of appalled! Lara is glad Tim's never killed, that he's never had to.
Lara still dies in this AU but it's in a big Trinity X Obeah Man X Captain Boomerang Cluster fuck where Lara finishes off Trinity and Obeah Man for good but looses her own life in the process. Tim is devastated, he feels like they were just starting to really be 100% transparent with each other before her death. Que Tim's not good very bad year!
if you've made it this far in my rambles here's a treat! I actually wrote a lil fuckin blurb for this!
preface: This the first time Robin and Lara Croft have ever met/are on the same mission.
___________
" mom!" Tim shouts, running before Bruce can even properly land the BatJet.
The old temple is ablaze, the ancient structure already half crumbled in on itself with what's left of it is spewing out clouds of jet black smoke.
Tim's mother limps out what was once the front entrance clutching at her ribs.
She's filthy, covered in a thick layer of dirt and grime. but she's got on a triumphant smile like the cat who got the cream.
" Mom!" Tim yells again watching as she does a double take at his choice of moniker.
Her mouth twists in a grimace as she stumbles and Tim dives under her arm quickly moving to support her left side.
Lara Croft meets the white lenses of Red Robin's eyes in confusion
" What'd you call me?" She slurs trying to blink away the smoke inhalation that makes it hard to focus and leaves her lightheaded.
Lara's right ankle which took the brunt of a very nasty dive from a very high perch, not 20 minutes earlier as she raced out of the Dead Kings Tomb, finally gives up the ghost and she pitches forward taking Red Robin with her.
He's young, she thinks, he's very young.
Before either of them can hit the ground Batman intercepts their fall hefting Lara into a secure hold.
Red Robin catches himself and latches onto Lara's hand.
He yanks off one of his gloves and tries to wipe some of the grime out of her eyes.
" Mum" he croaks this time, voice breaking nearly in half on the last syllable.
Lara furrows her brow, the cowl covers so much of this young man's face, from his nose too his brow bone, but his chin is startlingly familiar as is his absolutely atrocious British accent.
He reminds her terribly of Timothy.
" Tim" she says deliriously, Lara tries to smile but her eyes start to droop and her head lolls slack against Bruce's arm. She's clean out.
Tim makes an odd lunge and jerk movement pressing his fingers into her carotid artery to feel her pulse.
He's shaking, more wrong footed and anxious then Bruce has ever seen him.
Batman is extremely grateful when Nightwing comes up behind him and gently pulls his younger brother's hands away from his mother's comatose body.
" She's fine Red. We need to get her on board so we can get her some oxygen though, the smoke inhalation is getting to her. "
" Right" Tim says, still frozen in place. He shakes it off quickly " Right." he repeats pivoting in place and leading their small party through the remains of the ruins and back to the jet.
" I'll prep the med bay."
--------

There are days were the things in my head are shamelessly hopeful and therefore completely illusory.
But “I must dare to dream”, right?
Venice 25
He thought about Armie’s comment when they stood ready to go in front of the mirror.
*
He got out of the car and the crowd screamed.
He was in Venice. Venice Film Festival, September 2025, premiere of Dune 3. The last act.
He loved being in Venice.
Again he wore a handmade outfit by Haider.
A kind of homage to his red sequined outfit from 3 years ago, again a neck-holder, again backless, but this time made of a robust and hard material, fine wire rings interwoven, heavy silver chains in between, a modern chain shirt. Plus some 70s punk rock vibe: leather pants, his boots with the silver heels, silver rings and bracelets on fingers and wrist, a black painted fingernail and a silver choker around his neck.
The outfit felt good, it made him feel strong and forearmed, even if right now he didn't think he needed that. Much more the outfit matched his mood, wanting to kick ass, because that's what he would do now, what they would do now.
He waved briefly to the crowd, the first flash of lightning thundering down on him, and then he held out his hand, just a little, casually, as he always did when he just wanted his partner a little closer, and couldn't help but grin happily as Armie got out of the car.
Armie looked extremely dapper in that deep-dark Tom Ford suit with a fancy little applique on the lapel, and Tim couldn't have been prouder of his partner, of his man, of his husband.
And that was it. Armie was now standing next to him, his warm hand gently running over Tim’s bare back and resting on his hip. They smiled into the cameras. Together, side by side. The way it had been private forever, the way it should be possible in public, too. It felt good and right.
He didn't care if there were hostile comments among the cheers now. The crowd that kept cheering was there and the one that mattered was standing next to him.
Armie.
Armie and him, for all the world to see.
“You look like some kiss ass rock star who has his bodyguard with him just to fuck him.”
It was the right time for them now.
The big blockbusters had been shot, he had a few more awards on his record, he had built a good network, he would be shooting with Scorsese and directors he adored. What more did he want?
He was sure that even if a few offers fell through now, he would still be making films he wanted to make. Maybe he would make less money, but as long as he could keep doing what he loved the most, something that he couldn’t live without, it would be enough now.
Armie smiled at him warmly, towering beside him and he smiled back. What had often taken them so much effort to hide was now there for all the world to see.
There was a rush in his head, his heart was pounding wildly, they had played this day out in his head for too long, too many emotions attached to it, and yet it was pride that trumped everything.
And then a gentle touch of Armie’s hand on his back and Armie was buttoning up his jacket, stepping into the background. Stephane stood on the sidelines and Armie joined him. Tim was alone again, continuing to pose for the photographers, responding to the "Timmy" calls, and although Armie was now no longer next to him, he was still more with him than ever.
When his bodyguard motioned him to go to the fans to sign autographs, he couldn’t say that he wasn’t afraid at that moment.
He tried not to listen, but of course he did hear a few things.
“Are you two really together or is this some kind of PR?”
“Are you gay?”
“How long has it been going on with you guys?”
Later he would say:
I prefer to keep my private life private. I'm with Armie but the rest is non of your business.
Then why this now?
Because I wanted to share this special moment with my partner. And the world can stop worrying about who I'm with. There should be more important things.
So are you gay?
I think we live in a society where we should be long past asking someone about their sexuality because they are with someone of the same sex.
There wouldn't be much more about them from them. Even if the whole world wanted to know everything.
For now he didn't say anything. With trembling hands he wrote autograph after autograph, took selfies, accepted gifts, and when he realized it was no different than usual, he found his voice again, the feeling of happiness increased, as did the selfies with stuck out tongue and middle finger and the joy to kick ass.
"You look amazing!"
"I love you so much!"
The hate would play out anonymously elsewhere, he knew.
Finally, he sprinted back to the red carpet, photos with Zendaya, photos with Dennis, photos with the whole cast. He felt like he was about to burst, brimming with energy, roaring and beaming, his kick-ass energy constantly alternated with pure pure joy. In between, he kept glancing over at Armie, who was smiling happily at him and apparently commenting dryly with Stephane on the whole happening.
Whatever was to come, as it was now, it was the right thing to do. Now had been the right time, and because it was the right time, they had not wanted to wait any longer, he had not wanted to wait any longer.
It was strange to be in that auditorium and watch the movie while outside the news would spread through the world like a forest fire. But he didn't mind.
Armie had been in a play, had taken small roles in television series, and next year Timmy would produce a small indie film starring him. They slowly got things going.
And even if they didn't, he would turn 30 at the end of this year. He had changed. For some time now, they had thought about having a family of their own. They were ready for change, for their new chapter in life, whatever it would look like.
As he walked into the building, and Armie walked beside him, smiling at him, their fingers casually interlocked. And that small, unspectacular touch meant everything to Tim. No boundaries, no hiding, just being themselves.
Dennis had supported him.
"I'm not sure we would have made it to Venice again with the third part without you and your collaboration with Haider. They love you! So take it, it's yours!"
Now they got Amargaddon. They would see how it would affect the box office, but he was grateful to have Dennis' blessing on it.
He loved being in this sheltered place with colleagues, friends and Armie.
Tim had wanted Armie to sit near him, so he heard him cheering in the row behind him when his name appeared on the screen, and turned with a grin when he heard him laughing dirty at a Harkonnen joke. It felt good to have him there. Very good.
When they all hugged during the applause after the movie, he turned around and hugged Armie too, and although they hadn't talked about it before, when Armie slid his hand down Tim's neck and gave him a kiss on the mouth, as other couples would, Tim couldn't stop grinning.
He knew there would be blurry video of that kiss. There wouldn't be much else, but at least they could offer that to their fans.
As they left the movie theater, as they made their way to the hotel, shouting cheerful see-you-later’s to the others, the fog in Tim's head cleared, the buzzing slowly diminished, and when he saw an undisturbed corner, he pulled Armie into it, into his arms and never let go. Armie did the same, squeezing him so tight he almost couldn't breathe.
For quite a while they were just standing there, crying and laughing and hugging and feeling all these feelings they felt. Together.
He felt all the tension inside him release. The tension that he didn't even know was inside him. The prison that they knew how to ignore so much that they had forgotten the freedom they lacked.
"We did it, Armie."
"Yes, we did."
And when he heard Armie's brittle voice, tears came to him, too, and he had to hold Armie even a little tighter.
"It really does feel as good as they say, doesn’t it?"
"It does."
Clap your hands for Tinkerbell them.
Later that evening, they had a carefree premiere party with lots of laughter, dancing and singing. They were happy, they were them. Some more blurry pictures would show that and it was fine.
And even if it was none of the world's business that they were together, it was an incredible feeling that the world knew now.

What If Kingdom Hearts visited The Secret of NIMH universe.
A cloud of darkness swirled around the base of the great oak tree, and out of it emerged a trio of unfamiliar figures. Sora, a boy with spiky hair and a large keyblade at his side, Donald Duck, a magician with a royal flair, and Goofy, a knightly figure with a shield in one hand and a clumsy grin on his face, looked around in confusion. "Where are we?" Sora wondered aloud, his eyes adjusting to the tiny world that surrounded him. As they took in their surroundings, they realized they had been shrunk to the size of a mouse! Before they could ponder their bizarre predicament, they caught sight of a slender, graceful mouse with a red cape, scurrying through the underbrush.
Mrs. Brisby, her eyes widening in astonishment at the sight of the three peculiarly sized humans, cautiously approached them. "Who… who are you?" she stammered. Sora stepped forward, a mix of curiosity and friendliness in his voice. "I'm Sora, this is Donald, and Goofy," he pointed to his companions, "and we're… well, we're on a quest to help those in need. What's your name?" Mrs. Brisby, still taken aback, managed a polite nod. "I'm Mrs. Brisby. It's… quite an unusual day to have visitors of your size," she said with a nervous smile. Donald, ever the talkative one, spoke up. "Yes, indeed! We're the size of mice!" He laughed, twirling his magical staff in his hands. Goofy, ever eager to make friends, gave a courteous bow, his oversized keyblade thumping against the ground. "We're here to help, if you don't mind," Sora offered, noticing the worry etched on Mrs. Brisby's delicate features. "My son Timmy has fallen ill, and I'm on my way to Mr. Ages for medicine," she explained, her voice filled with urgency. "We're actually heading in that direction," Sora said, pointing towards the hedge maze. "Perhaps we could assist you?" Mrs. Brisby hesitated for a moment before nodding gratefully. "The more the merrier," she said, leading the way.
As they approached the hedge maze, the atmosphere grew tense as the rustling of leaves and branches grew louder. Suddenly, the shadows grew darker, and a pack of Heartless appeared before them, their glowing eyes fixed on Mrs. Brisby. Sora, Donald, and Goofy leaped into action, with Donald casting a series of fire spells to keep the creatures at bay while Goofy used his shield to protect Mrs. Brisby. Sora's keyblade clashed against the Heartless, sending them scattering into the darkness. Mrs. Brisby watched in amazement as the trio fought off the monsters with ease, their friendship and unity shining through their teamwork. "Thank you," she gasped, once the Heartless had retreated.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to Mr. Ages's burrow, a tiny door nestled within the intricate hedge maze. Inside, the cluttered workshop was a marvel of cobbled-together gadgets and gizmos. Mr. Ages, a chubby grey and white mouse with a cast on his left foot, peered at them over his spectacles. "What's this? More strays looking for a handout?" he grumbled. Mrs. Brisby quickly explained Timmy's condition and the urgent need for medicine. Sora and his friends, still on guard, scanned the room for any signs of the Heartless. Mr. Ages, seemingly unphased by their claims of shadowy monsters, hobbled over to a dusty shelf and retrieved a small vial filled with a glowing potion. "This'll do the trick," he said gruffly, handing it to Mrs. Brisby along with a white envelope. "But I must admit, I've never seen the likes of you three before. What are you, some sort of… tiny humans?" He squinted at them, his skepticism palpable. Despite his disbelief, he allowed them to stay while Mrs. Brisby relayed her encounter with the Heartless. Donald tried to explain their purpose and the threat the Heartless posed, but Mr. Ages remained unconvinced, dismissing their tales as the ramblings of overactive imaginations. "You're safe here," he assured them, "now be off with you." With the medicine secured, Mrs. Brisby thanked Mr. Ages and the trio followed her out of the burrow, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in this unexpectedly whimsical yet perilous world.
As Mrs. Brisby hurried back to her home with Sora, Donald, and Goofy following closely behind, they stumbled upon a peculiar sight. Jeremy Crow, a slender black crow with a red string around his neck, was frantically flapping his wings, trying to free himself from the entangling line. "Oh dear, let me help you," Mrs. Brisby offered, her motherly instincts kicking in. As she began to untangle the string, Jeremy's eyes grew wide with terror. "Dragon! He's coming!" he squawked, mistaking a nearby rabbit for the feared feline. Sora, Donald, and Goofy tensed up, their weapons at the ready, anticipating the battle with the infamous cat. But their fears were soon dispelled when the real Dragon emerged from a hollow log, his ponderous bulk and lazy gait a stark contrast to the menacing creature they had been expecting. Jeremy's cat allergy flared up instantly, and his panic grew as he coughed and sneezed. Sensing the danger, Mrs. Brisby swiftly acted, using her quick thinking to distract Dragon, allowing Jeremy to fly away to safety.
Mrs. Brisby's heart sank as she realized the precious envelope was gone. "Oh no, the medicine! What will I do?" she wailed, her voice echoing with despair. But her sorrow was short-lived as Jeremy, his feathers ruffled from the ordeal, handed her the envelope with a shaky beak. "Here you are," he panted. Sora, who had noticed the medicine fall during the commotion, had swiftly retrieved it and passed it to the crow. "It's okay, Mrs. Brisby," Sora said, a gentle smile spreading across his face. "We've got it." Her eyes filled with relief and gratitude, Mrs. Brisby took the envelope with trembling paws. "Thank you so much," she murmured, her gaze flickering between the trio. "You truly are friends in the most unexpected of places."
Mrs. Brisby, her cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and fear of heights, declined Jeremy's gallant offer to fly her home. "Thank you, Jeremy, but I'm afraid I can't," she said, her eyes darting towards the treetops. Sensing her distress, Sora stepped in. "Don't worry, Mrs. Brisby. We'll walk with you," he assured her with a comforting pat on the shoulder. "Besides, it's not every day we get to see the world from a mouse's perspective!" Donald chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. Goofy nodded in agreement, his smile wide and reassuring. Jeremy, understanding her plight, gave a courteous nod. "Well, if you ever change your mind, I'm here to help," he offered before flying off into the night sky. With a sigh of relief, Mrs. Brisby led the way through the moonlit garden, her tiny paws navigating the overgrown pathways with surprising agility. The trio of heroes followed closely, their eyes peeled for any signs of danger or Heartless that might threaten their newfound friend.
Mrs. Brisby's small house came into view, the warm glow of candlelight spilling out from the windows. Upon entering, the scent of freshly baked cookies filled the air, and the sounds of her children's laughter could be heard from the other room. She introduced her new companions to Auntie Shrew, a shrew with a sharp tongue but a heart of gold, who was in the midst of a dramatic lecture directed at Martin, the second eldest of the Brisby children. "Oh, Auntie, it's nothing," Mrs. Brisby said, brushing off the situation with a weary smile. "I've brought home some friends to help us with Timmy." Auntie Shrew's eyes widened at the sight of the tiny trio. "What kind of friends?" she demanded. "Well, they're… a bit unconventional," Mrs. Brisby sighed.
Mrs. Brisby carefully poured the glowing potion into a steaming bowl of soup, mixing it thoroughly to mask the potent scent from Timmy's keen nose. With a gentle touch, she lifted the spoon to Timmy's quivering lips, her eyes filled with love and concern. "It's okay, Timmy," she whispered, "this will make you feel all better." The sickly mouse took a tentative sip, his eyes widening at the unexpected taste. Meanwhile, Sora, Donald, and Goofy watched from the shadows, their hearts swelling with warmth at the sight of Mrs. Brisby's tender care. Despite their unconventional sizes and the looming threat of the Heartless, the scene of a mother comforting her child was a universal one that transcended their worldly differences. As Timmy's siblings gathered around, each trying to put on a brave face, Sora knew that this moment of peace was a victory in itself.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy huddled together in the corner of the room, their eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight as they discussed the events that had transpired. "What a strange and wondrous place," Donald mused, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "We've encountered so much already, and it seems Mrs. Brisby's troubles are just beginning." Goofy nodded solemnly, his oversized hands clutching his shield tightly. "Yeah, we gotta help her and Timmy," he said, his voice filled with determination. Sora looked at his friends, his expression a mix of concern and resolve. "We're in this together," he assured them. "No matter what size we are or how strange the world gets, we stand by our friends." The trio shared a firm nod, knowing that the battles ahead would be challenging, but together, they could overcome any obstacle the Heartless threw their way. With newfound purpose, they turned their attention back to the Brisby family, ready to face whatever the night would bring.
The sun had barely risen when the once tranquil silence of the garden was pierced by the eerie sound of heartless laughter. The trio of friends, still tiny, gathered outside the Brisby house to find it surrounded by a swarm of Heartless. Mrs. Brisby's eyes widened in terror as she realized the danger her family was in. Without hesitation, she scooped up three of her children and thrust them into Auntie Shrew's arms. "Take them and go!" she ordered, her voice firm despite the fear. "Find a safe place and stay there until I come back." Auntie Shrew, equally as startled by the sudden onslaught, nodded gravely. "We'll be okay," she assured Mrs. Brisby before scurrying off with the young ones.
With a fiery determination, Sora raised his keyblade, the light from its gleaming teeth cutting through the early morning gloom. Donald conjured a barricade of magical fire, while Goofy positioned himself in front of Mrs. Brisby, his shield at the ready. Together, they charged into the fray, battling the relentless Heartless with a ferocity born of their desire to protect. Mrs. Brisby, though frail in appearance, proved to be a formidable opponent in her own right, using her cunning and agility to dodge the shadowy creatures. As the Heartless closed in, Sora swung his keyblade in a wide arc, sending a shockwave of light that dispersed the monsters, giving them a moment's reprieve.
Mrs. Brisby and Auntie Shrew darted into the tall grass, their hearts racing as the Heartless pursued them. Sora, Donald, and Goofy, having defeated the immediate threat, followed closely, their footsteps muffled by the dew-soaked blades. From their vantage point, they could hear Mrs. Brisby's muffled sobs as she called out for her beloved husband, Jonathan. Auntie Shrew, her stern demeanor now softened by concern, wrapped an arm around Mrs. Brisby's trembling shoulders. "You must go to the Great Owl," she urged, her voice low and urgent. "He can help you, but you mustn't go alone." Mrs. Brisby's eyes grew large with fear at the mention of the owl. "But Auntie, he's an owl. They eat mice," she whispered. Auntie Shrew's expression grew firm. "These are no ordinary humans, Mrs. Brisby. They've proven themselves as friends and protectors. They can keep you safe." Despite her fear, Mrs. Brisby nodded, and with a deep breath, she turned to Sora, Donald, and Goofy. "Will you come with me?" she asked, hope and desperation mingling in her voice. The trio looked at each other, understanding the gravity of the situation, and without a moment's hesitation, they agreed. The journey to the Great Owl's tree would be fraught with danger, but together, they would face it, their hearts united in the quest to save Timmy and their newfound friends from the encroaching darkness of the Heartless.
With the Heartless swarming closer, Jeremy Crow swooped down, offering his back to the trembling Mrs. Brisby. Despite her acrophobia, she knew she had to overcome her fear to save her family. With a deep breath, she climbed onto the crow's back, clutching onto the red string that adorned his neck. Sora, Donald, and Goofy, now seasoned in the art of being minuscule, leaped onto Jeremy with surprising agility, their weight barely noticeable to the sturdy bird. As Jeremy took off into the sky, Mrs. Brisby's heart raced, but she focused on the task at hand. Meanwhile, Sora, Donald, and Goofy reveled in the thrilling ride, their cheers and laughter piercing the early morning calm. They soared over the treetops, the wind whipping through their hair and feathers, the thrill of adventure coursing through their veins. The Heartless below grew smaller and smaller as they ascended, but the danger was far from over. The Great Owl's tree loomed in the distance, a beacon of hope and wisdom in the shadowy world they had been thrust into. Together, they clung to Jeremy, ready to face whatever the fates had in store for them at the top of the mighty oak.
The Great Owl regarded Mrs. Brisby with his piercing yellow eyes, unblinking. "Why have you come to me?" he asked in a deep, wise voice. Mrs. Brisby took a shaky breath and recounted Timmy's illness and the Heartless that plagued their home. "These three," she gestured to Sora, Donald, and Goofy, "fought bravely against the shadows. They're here to help us." The owl tilted his head, his curiosity piqued. "And what are your names?" he inquired. Mrs. Brisby introduced herself and her companions, and the owl's gaze lingered on Sora, Donald, and Goofy. "Ah, so you are the ones," he murmured, his expression unreadable. When Mrs. Brisby revealed her connection to the late Jonathan Brisby, the owl's gaze grew solemn. "I knew your husband well," he said. "He was a noble and wise mouse." Mrs. Brisby was astonished by the owl's knowledge of her husband. "But tell me," the owl continued, "why do you seek my counsel?" Mrs. Brisby, her voice trembling with urgency, explained their need to move their house before the farmer's plow could destroy it in addition to the onslaught of the Heartless. The owl listened intently before speaking again. "To find the solution to your plight, you must seek out Nicodemus, the leader of the rats," he instructed. "He resides in the rose bush, and he will know what to do. He too was a friend of Jonathan's." Sora's eyes widened in confusion at the mention of a rat and a rose bush, but Donald and Goofy nodded, their expressions earnest. They were determined to aid Mrs. Brisby, no matter how peculiar the quest might seem. "We'll go to him," Sora declared, gripping his keyblade tightly. "We're here to help, no matter what." The owl's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke again, his words carrying the weight of a prophecy. "You must move your house to the lee of the stone," he said cryptically. "Only then will you find safety from the Heartless."
The following dawn, Mrs. Brisby's relief was palpable when she stumbled upon Mr. Ages, his normally busy demeanor now marred by a makeshift splint and a pained expression. "Mr. Ages," she called out, her voice carrying a sense of urgency, "we need to see Nicodemus. Our house is in danger, and Timmy… he's not well." The elderly mouse looked up from his tinkering, his eyes widening at the sight of the tiny trio. "What happened to your leg?" Sora inquired, noticing the injury. "Ah, a minor setback," Mr. Ages waved it off, though the pain was evident. "A small mishap with one of my experiments." Despite his condition, he agreed to guide them to the rose bush where Nicodemus and the rats dwelt. The journey was fraught with tension, the looming threat of the Heartless and the farmer's plow casting a shadow over their every step.
As they approached the rose bush, a figure emerged from the shadows, his eyes narrowing as he took in the sight of Mrs. Brisby and her unusual companions. "State your business," he said, his voice firm and authoritative. Mrs. Brisby's cheeks flushed slightly as she recognized the newcomer. "Justin," she murmured, "it's so good to see you." The captain of the guard, a handsome young rat with a proud stance, tipped his hat at her. "What brings you here, Mrs. Brisby?" Sora, Donald, and Goofy studied the interaction with curiosity, noticing the way Mrs. Brisby's eyes lingered on Justin for a fraction of a second longer than necessary. "It's about Timmy," she began, her voice quivering with emotion. "He's sick, and we need to move our house before it's too late." Justin's expression softened, and he nodded gravely. "The Great Owl sent us," Sora interjected, hoping to clarify their intentions. The mention of the owl seemed to put the rat at ease, and he led them into the heart of the rose bush, where Nicodemus, the wise leader of the rats, awaited them. Mrs. Brisby couldn't help but steal a shy glance at Justin as they walked, her mumbled "beautiful" hanging in the air between them. The way he looked at her, with a mix of confusion and chivalry, made her pause for a moment before she realized she had spoken out loud. She quickly corrected herself, her cheeks flaming red. "Ma'am?" Justin asked, a hint of amusement in his tone. Mrs. Brisby stumbled over her words, trying to explain herself, but the moment passed as they reached the center of the thorny sanctuary, where the fate of their world was about to be decided.
Jenner, a slender dark grey rat with a goatee and green demonic eyes, emerged from the dense foliage of the rose bush. His expression was one of surprise, yet his eyes gleamed with a cunning that sent a shiver down Mrs. Brisby's spine. He listened intently as she recounted their desperate situation and the Great Owl's advice to seek Nicodemus's help. "Ah, the Brisby family," he said, his tone dripping with feigned concern. "It would be an honor to assist you in this endeavor. After all, it was your husband, Jonathan, who showed us the way to freedom. Allow me to help you move your house in his memory." Mrs. Brisby nodded warily, unable to shake the feeling that Jenner's intentions were not entirely pure. Sora, Donald, and Goofy watched the exchange, their senses heightened by the rat's sudden willingness to aid them.
"And who might these peculiar little creatures be?" Jenner inquired, his gaze flitting between Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Sora stepped forward, his voice firm. "We are travelers from another world, here to vanquish the Heartless that plague your lands," he explained. Donald and Goofy nodded in agreement, their eyes gleaming with determination. Jenner's expression shifted from surprise to suspicion, but he quickly masked it with a facade of shock. "The Heartless? Here? This is grave news indeed!" he exclaimed. "Your valor is most appreciated," he said, extending a furry paw to Sora. "We will assist you in your quest, for the sake of all our kin." Inside, his mind raced with thoughts of how to manipulate the situation to his advantage. Yet, as he pledged his support, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear at the mention of the Great Owl's interest in the trio. He had to ensure that his control over the Heartless remained a secret, lest his own ambitions be exposed. Mrs. Brisby watched him closely, her instincts telling her to trust the newcomers, yet something about Jenner's eagerness made her uneasy. Nonetheless, she knew they needed all the help they could get to move their house and protect Timmy.
Nicodemus, a wise and ancient-looking rat with a red tunic and a gentle demeanor, received Mrs. Brisby, Sora, Donald, and Goofy into his chamber within the rose bush. His eyes lit up with recognition as he took in the sight of the tiny humans. "Ah, Mrs. Brisby," he began, his voice filled with warmth and respect. "Your husband, Jonathan, was a great hero among us. His bravery and intelligence helped us escape the clutches of NIMH and find our way here." He held out a small, intricately carved red amulet on a delicate chain. "This was meant for you," he said, placing it into her trembling paws. "It holds a power that can guide and protect you in times of need." Mrs. Brisby's eyes filled with tears as she examined the amulet, feeling the warmth of her husband's love emanating from it. "But what about the Heartless?" she asked, her voice thick with emotion. "They're getting stronger, and Timmy…" Nicodemus nodded solemnly. "The Heartless are indeed a grave concern," he agreed. "But together, we shall find a way to combat them and ensure the safety of your family. The lee of the stone is where you must go." His gaze lingered on Sora, Donald, and Goofy. "Your companions are powerful indeed," he said with a knowing look. "Their hearts are pure, and together, you may just hold the key to our salvation." With a sense of awe and determination, the group left Nicodemus's chamber, the red amulet a beacon of hope in Mrs. Brisby's grasp. The weight of the impending battle rested heavily on their shoulders, but with newfound resolve, they prepared to face whatever lay ahead.
Nicodemus's eyes grew serious as he listened to Sora, Donald, and Goofy's tale of the relentless Heartless. His expression grew grim at the mention of the danger Timmy faced. "Indeed, we must act swiftly," he said, his voice filled with the weight of his years. "Your valor is most appreciated, young ones. I will do all in my power to assist you." He paused, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "The Great Owl's advice to move the Brisby house to the lee of the stone holds true. Not only will it offer protection from the farmer's plow, but it will also shield you from the Heartless." Nicodemus looked to his fellow rats. "Justin, gather our strongest and most capable members. We must help the Brisby family move their home to safety." The rats, including Jenner, nodded in unison, their tails flicking with excitement. Mrs. Brisby clutched the red amulet tightly, feeling a surge of hope. With Nicodemus and the rats by their side, including the brave and enigmatic Justin, they had a fighting chance against the shadowy beasts.
As the makeshift boat of reeds and leaves glided over the moonlit pond, Nicodemus recounted the grand vision of a new life in Thorn Valley, a place of refuge and independence for the mice and rats, free from the ever-present dangers of the farmer and NIMH. Sora, Donald, and Goofy worked tirelessly alongside the rats, their hearts swelling with camaraderie and the thrill of embarking on a noble quest. Meanwhile, Mrs. Brisby listened intently to the wise leader's words, her eyes reflecting the flickering hope that shone within her. She couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness that Jonathan wasn't there to see the fruits of his labor, but she was determined to honor his memory by ensuring their family's survival. The night was calm, the only sounds the gentle lapping of water and the occasional rustle of leaves in the breeze, as they approached the stone landmark that signaled the start of their new life. Yet, unbeknownst to them, the Heartless were also drawing near, their shadowy forms emerging from the inky darkness, driven by Jenner's sinister influence. The stage was set for a battle that would not only determine the fate of the Brisby family but also reveal the true colors of the rat who claimed to be their ally.
The tranquil night was shattered by the sudden onslaught of Heartless, their shadowy forms swarming around the makeshift boat as it neared the stone. Sora, Donald, and Goofy sprang into action, their weapons flashing under the moonlight as they valiantly fought to protect their newfound friends. Amidst the chaos, Mrs. Brisby's eyes widened in horror as she caught a glimpse of Jenner, his usually sly smile replaced by a twisted grin of triumph, cutting the ropes that held their vessel together. The boat lurched, the construction around Nicodemus's chamber crumbling with a deafening roar. "No!" she screamed, her voice lost in the cacophony of battle. As the rubble fell, Nicodemus's piercing gaze locked with hers, filled with a silent understanding and a plea for her to keep fighting. The impact was swift and brutal, the stones and debris crushing the wise leader beneath them.
Jenner, his eyes gleaming with malice, seized the moment of confusion to step forward, his voice ringing out over the wailing of the Heartless. "The Great Owl has been misguiding us!" he declared, his words cutting through the grief like a knife. "The true path to our survival lies in the rose bush, where we have always been safe!" The rats, torn between their loyalty to their fallen leader and their fear of the unknown, hesitated. But Mrs. Brisby, her eyes filled with the fire of determination, dashed through the rubble, her voice urgent. "You must listen to me!" she called out. "The Great Owl was right! NIMH will come for the rose bush in the morning. We have no choice but to leave and start anew!" The rats' cries of anguish and fear grew louder as they turned to face the grim reality. Jenner's grip on the situation began to slip as Mrs. Brisby's words resonated with a ring of truth.
Jenner's eyes flashed with rage at Mrs. Brisby's accusation, his true colors exposed for all to see. "You're just a hysterical widow," he sneered, attempting to regain control. "You know nothing of our ways!" But the rats had seen the truth in Mrs. Brisby's eyes and the malice in his own. With a collective roar of anger and grief, they turned on Jenner. Sora stepped in front of Mrs. Brisby, his Keyblade gleaming in the moonlight. "We're not going anywhere with you," he declared firmly. "You're the one who brought the Heartless here. You killed Nicodemus!" The revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd, and even the Heartless seemed to pause in their attack, sensing the shift in power. Jenner, desperate to maintain his grip on the rats, conjured a fresh wave of Heartless to distract them, hissing, "You fools! She's the one leading you to your doom!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy, now surrounded by the shadowy creatures, braced themselves for the onslaught. The battle lines were drawn, and the fate of the Brisby family and the future of the rat colony rested on the outcome of this climactic confrontation.
The battle against the Heartless was fierce, with Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Justin fighting in perfect harmony, their friendship and courage fueling their strength. Each blow they landed was a testament to their unyielding spirit. As the Heartless fell one by one, their shadowy forms dissipating into the night, the remaining rats watched in awe at the power that lay within their new allies. Yet, the true mastermind behind the chaos remained: Jenner. With a snarl, he stepped forward, the Heartless retreating to his command. His eyes, once filled with cunning, now burned with a desperate rage. Mrs. Brisby and Mr. Ages watched helplessly as the battle shifted to a one-on-four confrontation. The air was thick with tension as Jenner faced the trio and the brave rat who had stood by their side, each of them knowing that the fate of their world rested on the outcome of this final clash.
The battle raged on, with Jenner unleashing his fury upon Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Justin. His once cunning tactics now replaced by brute strength and malice. Yet, the bond between the four heroes was unbreakable. Sora, wielding his Keyblade with precision, delivered a powerful strike to Jenner's chest, sending him staggering back. Donald's spells rained down, and Goofy's shield bashed into the ground, creating a shockwave that knocked the Heartless-controlled rat off his feet. With a fierce determination, Justin leaped into the fray, his eyes ablaze with a newfound courage. Mrs. Brisby and Mr. Ages watched from the sidelines, their hearts pounding in their chests. The tide of battle shifted as the Heartless numbers dwindled and Jenner's power began to wane. With a final, desperate roar, Jenner summoned a horde of Heartless to shield him, but the combined might of Sora's Keyblade, Donald's magic, and Goofy's valor shattered the dark barrier. Jenner, exposed and weakened, could do nothing as Sora delivered the finishing blow, his blade piercing the rat's heart. The Heartless surrounding them dissipated into the night air as Jenner fell to the ground, defeated. The rats of NIMH let out a collective sigh of relief, their fears of the Great Owl's wrath and the Heartless's power diminished. The red amulet in Mrs. Brisby's hand pulsed with a gentle light, a silent nod to the valor and friendship that had triumphed over darkness. The dawn of a new day was upon them, and with it, the promise of a brighter future.
With Jenner defeated and the Heartless banished, the remaining rats, including Mrs. Brisby, Mr. Ages, and Justin, gathered around Sora, Donald, and Goofy, their expressions a mix of awe and gratitude. Mrs. Brisby stepped forward, the red amulet still clutched in her paw, her voice trembling with emotion. "Thank you," she said, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "You've saved us all. Timmy…" She paused, then managed a weak smile. "Timmy will be okay now." Justin nodded solemnly, a newfound respect in his gaze. "You've proven yourselves to be true friends and heroes," he said. Mr. Ages, his skepticism forgotten in the face of the trio's bravery, added, "I don't know why I doubted you. Your heroism will not go unnoticed." The rats chorused their thanks, their voices a symphony of relief and hope. Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked at each other, their expressions a blend of satisfaction and melancholy. They knew their journey was far from over, and other worlds called for their aid. "We're just happy we could help," Sora said with a smile. "And we hope Timmy makes a full recovery." With a promise to visit again, the three heroes turned to leave, their forms fading into the shadows as they were drawn back to the realm of light. Mrs. Brisby watched them go, the amulet's light pulsing softly. She knew she would never forget the night the strange trio had come to her aid, and as she took in the quiet beauty of the moonlit clearing, she whispered a final farewell to the friends who had saved her family and her world from the clutches of darkness.

I love Aisha and Riven's surprised face when she gets between him and Musa, but also I hate Aisha for depriving us of a picture where they look as couply as this
Side note: what's with the way Rivens standing? And what the fuck is Brandon's pose? And what happened to the rest of Helia's hair???
Also how DARE Brandon step in front of Stella so that you can't even see her outfit???
Riven: wha...? He's so cute 😂🥰

Rewatching winx season 4 for nostalgia and realizing how wierd some things are
Ep. 7
Musa posing like the drama queen she is
How did Stella drag roxy upwards like that
"I'm a great shot" im sure you are
Stella darling you managed to contradict yourself
Musa your great, and I wish you kept these spells
Nevermind then musa is useless
Stella contradicting herself again
Oh poor doggy, also I would react the same to someone hurting my baby
Oh wow roxy is strong
Awww, tiny kitten
Flora and anagan flirting, its actually kinda cute
What the hell even is gantlos's power
Aw, sweet old rich woman
And gantlos found them
Yeah that car crash is about right
Also for a second I thought the woman was going to help roxy
Sassy gantlos
Oh wow that was a close one
Wow artu is smart, I wonder is that's a side effect of being around roxy
Spirit speech
Oh poor artu
Oh that's a close one part 2
First magic!
What exactly did roxy do though?
Sudden upbeat Music
Well that's a tone shift
Weren't they all just on the floor in the last frame?
Specialist deus ex machina
Nabu speaks really wierd sometimes
Oh my god Rivington chopped duman's hair XD
Did they just corner ogron and leave the others?
Awww, supportive timmy
Wow aisha is in a great mood.
I... don't thing implicitly is the word your looking for
Naaaawwwww
Liesssssss, you'll end up with more
HAHA, flora and aisha's reactions are great
Wait...... Didn't timmy already have a job?? Did he quit to be around roxy more? Or is he doing both?
How did he go from helia to Tobias? The others are similar but helia?
BOO-BOO XD
Oh okay nevermind
Oh my god, the one who doesn't work there is the only one he got right
As a only child and a girl, I feel you roxy
Ooooooohhhhh, musa
Bloom my god
Hey its that girl who everyone thought is the last fairy
Swimsuits?ok
Animation mistake roxy's sleeves
Spend the whole day talking to the neighbours canary?
Ok at least faragonda is kept in the loop
The fairy pets are adorable but useless
A yes, mcguffin wings bearly used
Guide book? What guide book?
What's with the sudden change of heart about keeping things secret
Why doesn't morgana just tell roxy who she is?
Ep 8
Pointless fluff
Oh kiko
More pointless fairy pet things
Didn't tecna explain the website several times now.
Finally common sense for stupid romance problems
Convenient timing
Did roxy sleep the entire day?
Ok the whole pictures arrange themselves in the same way
Cowboy outfits, actually one of my faves
Kind of worry roxy had a bother reaction to magic wardrobe change
Oh the Stella silent treatment
Ok from experience no large camper or bus like that has 4wheel drive
Suddenly I remember that the driver in world of winx was also aisha
I'd love to go there on horseback
Dramatic duman
Sadly irrelevant to the conversation flora
Don't like this man
Oh no this is going to be a disaster
Snort* flying bear
Seriously what are gantlos's powers?
Wait they can miniaturise what not in enchantix?
Smoke them out, smart
Gantlos is my reaction to
Did the circle burn him or just hurt?
Well that's awsome
Oh my god that man is dedicated to not noticing shit
That smile is creepy
Isn't this man a lumberjack? How is he going to survive now?
Why does bloom get to keep the circle?
And their back
Pets aren't typically allowed at bars
Pointless pet fluff
Nabu forshadowing
Aww tecna is emoting so much, I'm proud!
Damn this all, more mitzie
...well she had a good singing voice
He has work, stella
He's going to break that guitar
More nabu foreshadowing
Creepy surfer man
For a really important episode it feels like 70 percent is pointless

Happy Birthday, Jason! leaves Jason a box of the tea that he likes and a few of his more candid pictures of him smiling as Robin from years ago. it definitely leans into stalker accusations but whatever. there's an unsigned card that just says 'Happy Birthday, J.' it was easy to tell who'd left it anyway.
There’s his favorite tea, a little box containing god knows what, and a card sitting on the kitchen table of the cabin. Not all that surprising that someone would find out about his birthday and get him something. Dean, probably. Curious, Jason reaches for the card first. The writing’s definitely not Dean’s. It’s also not Dick’s (from what he can remember), and considering no one else in the cabin knows him well enough to get him a gift, to even know it’s his birthday, in the first place, that leaves only one potential suspect: the Replacement Tim. Jason frowns, looks around for a moment, but there’s no one in the cabin but him.
The tea gets a quick sniff, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. Good work, Timmy. Got the exact right blend and everything. (Unsurprising, considering the stalkerish tendencies, but he’ll give the kid a pass, this time.)
The unmarked box is what really has him curious, though. It’s small. Smaller than a shoebox, but bigger than a necklace box. He’s got absolutely no guesses as to what might be inside. When he lifts off the lid, he’s floored by the contents. Carefully, he pulls the photos out and sets the empty box back on the table to start flipping through them.
Candid shots, all of them. Jason in his Robin days, grinning toothily (missing teeth, in a couple of them) in uniform, striking a variety of poses: standing with one foot on top of a downed goon, hands proudly on his hips; flying through the air on a grappling line; sitting beside a gargoyle, feet dangling, arms gesturing wildly, very clearly chattering animatedly at an amused Batman. Memories flood his mind unbidden, years-old feelings of happiness and excitement and hope and Robin is magic! churning together in his stomach.
The last photo is the one that really makes him ache. A picture of Batman holding him in his arms, the whole upper-half of Jason’s body thrown back in laughter, one of his hand’s fisted in Bruce’s cape for balance while the other clutches at his own stomach. There’s a soft, self-satisfied smile on Bruce’s lips, and Jason lets out a soft, broken sound, because he remembers this. He remembers how they’d gotten ice cream at the end of that particular patrol, just because (he can see the chocolate around his old self’s mouth, if he looks closely enough). He remembers telling Bruce that he was too tired to walk back to the Batmobile, lying through his teeth, but hamming it up as much as he possibly could. He remembers Bruce’s sigh, his “no, you’re not,” before he scooped Jason up anyways. He doesn’t remember the stupid little joke Bruce had cracked then, but he remembers just how surprised and incredibly delighted he’d been to hear it. How he’d laughed so hard his stomach actually hurt.
There’s a hole in his chest and goddamn, does it ever hurt something fierce. Jason’s eyes are stinging, and he has to take a shuddering breath to keep himself calm. He wants to be angry. Wants to rant and rage because what the fuck does Tim think he’s playing at, leaving these here for him? But he knows. He knows there’s no ploy. Knows exactly why Tim is giving him these pictures. Knows he’s seeing himself through the kid’s eyes and Jason…Jason can’t handle that, right now.
Quickly, but carefully (not wanting to crease even a single corner), he puts the pictures back into the box and replaces the lid. Briefly thinks about throwing them all away. Maybe leaving them right on the top of the garbage in the kitchen, where Tim will be sure to see. That consideration is gone as quickly as it came, though, because there’s no way in hell he’ll be able to give these pictures up, now that he’s seen them. He picks up both the box of photos and the tea and goes back outside to his bike. Tucks the gifts safely into a saddlebag, climbs on, and leaves, retreating to a safehouse where he doesn’t have to worry about running into anyone when he feels like this. He doesn’t even bother putting his helmet back on.
He needs to think.

Destiny I like you but lately you have become some Tom Stan moral lifter or advisory counselor of Tom's career projection or whatever we can call it. This is a teaser of a movie where JE is a co-lead, what does it have to do with Tom? why is it every time we talk about any guy who has worked with Zendaya before always lead to a career comparison? You talk about Timmy and it is in reference to Tom, You talk about JE and it's in reference to Tom, any of these guys can win an Oscar tomorrow It still wouldn't have anything to do with Tom. Let these actors choose their own pathway. Hollywood is not a business of one maybe some of you guys need to expand your views and taste and learn to appreciate other people. Not everything has to do with Tom and zendaya, it's ok to compliment or critique an actor without bringing them up.
Destiny I like you but lately you have become some Tom Stan moral lifter or advisory counselor of Tom's career projection or whatever we can call it.
Honestly? I'm just trying to talk some fans off the ledge, cuz it seems like just about every other week or so, some "concerned fan" comes in here worrying about Tom and his career. 😒🙄
You know, it would be ONE thing if we really had to worry about his career. But the fact that we actually DON'T is what makes it so baffling to me.
I feel like some people just want to complain honestly. 😅
This is a teaser of a movie where JE is a co-lead, what does it have to do with Tom? why is it every time we talk about any guy who has worked with Zendaya before always lead to a career comparison?
Girl...I'm not even bringing Tom and Zendaya up in these conversations!
Most of us were just talking about JE's trailer solo outside of Tom and Zendaya. And if anyone brought TZ up in that discussion, it was other Anons, NOT me! 😂
Hollywood is not a business of one maybe some of you guys need to expand your views and taste and learn to appreciate other people.
Ummm....girl...You're preaching to the choir! I've been saying this on my blog for AGES sis. Where have you been?? 😅
.
.
.
Y'all keep trying it, but my stance has NOT changed. It's the same as it's always been Anon.
I personally don't have any issues with liking a wide range of actors. Always have, and always will! 😃
I've ALWAYS been encouraging fans to get out of their "bubbles" and watch other actors and actresses outside of Tom and Zendaya, and not be afraid to embrace actors from other fandoms and stop with the silly fandom wars. Is it just me?? Like, I know I've said this plenty of times before on my blog. 🤔
But someone being honest about a trailer and their own personal opinion on it isn't being "mean", it's just someone's initial reaction. There have been plenty of trailers that I didn't really care for, but when I actually saw the movie, I loved it! So, it's not even a final critique of the film itself imo. 🤷🏾♀️

#Shezow #ThinkingAboutReviewingEachEpisode #ColdFinger #Sheviews #MyThoughts
(Images and video not mine but links are there.)
Episode 1 Part 2 Coldfinger
I really like the title cards this show has and they remind me of The Fairly Odd Parents title cards.
Buttwipe really be like a kid friendly parody version of this show though.
Jackass (franchise) - Wikipedia
I guess the Senor Blowtadas Spicy Hot Chipadillas are like if Doritos and Takis collaborated together.
I like it that Maz was like I'm glad those old folks didn't get hurt by our marble trick and Guy was like that's cool we got those old folks doing a cheerleader pyramid trick.
I know where Guy's priorities are.
Apparently there is a one day Shezow comic con which is interesting.
Also the poster has the new Shezow plastered everywhere which is strange.
I wonder who took these images of Shezow to make these?
Because in the pilot episode Shezow was in the Shehicle with Kelly and accidently crash into the Pushy Pirate Posse's pirate ship to "defeat them".
Also guy was just about to walk away from his responsibilities but his sister is the president so she had to push him in gear.
Also Guy is spooked of bugs.
This is the I suck at answering question so here is a listening device that will mess up when you need it the most episode.
Here we go.
Guy is slowing getting progressive. Like the "Come to papa." and Maz is like "Don't you mean mama?" And Guy is like "Depends on what I'm wearing." 13:58-14:06
I strangely remember that line from when I first watched this show.
We finally get to see Coldfinger and I really like his design especially his ice wolverine claws he can do.
He already makes ice puns right out the gate.
He was the past president of the Shezow fan club before Kelly replaced him.
He was late on his dues and I would love to know what that means.
I would like to know more about his past.
Like was he born a ice person or science made him that way?
Also seems like him and his mom have a ice company business. Good thing they are set up shop in Megadale.
He is way older than Guy but the wiki says he's 17 but I thought he was 14 when I first saw him but I'm not sure.
His real name is Timmy and he has that Big Bang Theory Mom talks off screen joke.
He loves cold cuts but I wonder it's the meat kind or just cut up ice?
Cold Finger is a parody of Gold Finger from 007.
He really is the Shezow version of Brain Freezer from Johnny Test.
Cold Finger (Character) | SheZow Wiki | Fandom
Brain Freezer | Johnny Test Wiki | Fandom
Someone on youtube said this Coldfinger face should be a meme at 19:40 but it reminds me of Professor Oak's and Imposter Professor Oak's face.
Pokemon Role-Play - Kanto: Professor Oak's (please come here before you start your adventure) Showing 1-15 of 15 (goodreads.com)
Impostor Professor Oak Concepts - Giant Bomb
Hey we get Maz's first costume Meatier Man and he's got the Lady Gaga meat outfit going on that attracts not only smell but all the dogs in the tri state area.
I feel bad for Cold Finger (Timmy) he just wanted to ask his question but was interrupted and skipped over.
He probably wouldn't have attacked if you just let the man tell his question Kelly.
The "We're just friends." line at 17:31. I wonder what that question was about?
My guess is for Tara.
My favorite scene. 18:07-18:13
I like it how Maz just walks up on the fight to tell Guy that they won the contest.
That's pretty rude.
Also the title card image pose returns at 18:31.
Cold Finger can summon snow people which is pretty cool but I guess this might be the last time we see them.
I like it that Cold Finger was like um actually Shezow doesn't have a sidekick.
He says "That's what he smells like." To the number two joke then says "You're dead meat pork chop." as he just pokes Maz.
Finally Guy uses his laser lipstick on non humanoid enemies which is cool.
I feel sorry for the snow people but Shezow called Cold Finger a snowflake.
Then the show finally explains the hair messing up mechanic that Shezow loses all powers.
19:52-20:03
Then later telling the solution later.
20:11-20:14
We almost lost Shezow if Shelia wasn't there to tell him.
Also if his ice claws break it hurts him. Interesting.
My favorite poses.
20:21-20:24
The show just put a beating up the bad guy montage with a heavy handed super she slap like a final smash to end the fight.
Shezow says "Mine's bigger. What to play patty cake ice man?" This is after Cold Finger looks at his hands.
While causing property damage when she slapping him into the parking lot then Cold Finger makes a ice pun by himself with no on around.
20:44-20:51
I like it that Cold Finger is like going full nature then is like ooh ice cream person is here.
I like it that Maz can do a fake man's voice like he's from looney tunes and even doing a food version of a hot foot joke that cartoons do.
That blew my mind that was Maz because his silhouette was the meat costume.
21:20-21:22
I like it that Cold Finger didn't ask how much the ice cream was or even check what he just ate.
Then later checked then melted.
I guess he was born frozen.
They forgot to unfreeze Kelly and at the end she shows up drenched and if the show wasn't 22 minutes then they would have did that we forgot something joke with Kelly still frozen today or would have had Maz save her off screen.
At the end guy says a ice pun to Kelly then it just ends.
This show talks about the change mechanic where it's the danger sense that can change him or "You Go Girl" changes him then "She Yeah" changes him back.
22:42-23:16
I give this a 8/10.

KIDZ!
The Young People of the Lucyverse ~ Part 1
W.C. Fields famously warned performers never to work with children or animals. Luckily for us, Lucille Ball consistently disregarded his advice. Here’s a look at some of the young performers and characters of the Lucyverse.
“Baby Sitting” (1949) ~ To makes some extra cash, Liz (Lucille Ball) takes up babysitting. Mr. Wood (Hans Conried) suggests he take the job from his daughter, Adele. Mr. Wood has 11 children: Bob, Madelyn, Adele, Lucille, Ruth, Lucius, Jessie, Walter, Jess, Joanne, and Hugo. In reality, these are the names of some of the staff of My Favorite Husband. Keeping her sitting job from her favorite husband, Liz goes on her first assignment to take care of Tommy Pearson, who is a sure shot with a pea shooter. Liz’s husband George (Richard Denning) thinks she is having an affair and assualts Tommy’s father!
“The Elves” (1949) ~ Anne Whitfield played Joanne Wood, one of the 11 children of Mr. Wood (Hans Conried), neighbor of Liz and George Cooper on “My Favorite Husband.” She also appeared as Joanne Wood in “Liz’s Superstitions” also in 1949.
LIZ: “How are you?” JOANNE: “Fine, thanks.” LIZ: “How’s your father?” JOANNE: “Fine, thanks.” LIZ: “And your four sisters?” JOANNE: “Fine, thanks.” LIZ: “And your six brothers?” JOANNE: “Fine, thanks.” LIZ: “And your mother?” JOANNE: “Exhausted, thanks.”
“Liz and George are Handcuffed” (1949) ~ We meet Tommy Wood, the smallest of Mr. Woods’ 11 children. He is played by 13 year-old Johnny McGovern.
LIZ: “Tommy, is it true that no two people in the whole world have the same fingerprints?” TOMMY: “Nah, that’s a lot of bunk. I’ve already found three people who have exactly the same fingerprints; my daddy, Santa Claus, and the crook who broke into my piggy bank.”
Sorrowful Jones (1949) ~ A young girl (Mary Jane Sanders) is left with the notoriously cheap Sorrowful Jones (Bob Hope) and his girlfriend Gladys (Luiclle Ball) as a marker for a bet. When her father doesn't return, they learn that taking care of a child interferes with their free-wheeling lifestyle. This is a remake of Little Miss Marker (1934) which starred Shirley Temple and was directed by Lucy’s once-time fiancee Alexander Hall.
The Fuller Brush Girl (1950) ~ When Sally (Lucile Ball) is mistaken for a babysitter and tied up by some children playing cowboys and indians, she is rescued by the real babysitter, played by actress Gail Bonney. Two years later, Gail Bonney would play Mrs. Hudson in the "The Amateur Hour," hiring Lucy Ricardo to babysit her twin boys, who would tie Lucy up while playing cowboys and indians.
“Be A Pal” (1951) ~ To give Ricky a taste of his childhood, Lucy dresses up a group of dark-haired boys in sombreros and serapes to remind him of his brothers!
“Lucy Plays Cupid” (1952) ~ Knowing amorous grocer Mr. Ritter (Edward Everett Horton) doesn’t like children, Lucy trots out a stream of youngsters as her offspring. Mr. Ritter counts 25, although Lucy says 6 are missing. In reality, 10 uncredited child performers were featured in the episode, one even dressed as a “little” Ricky playing a conga drum! After filming, the young actors posed for a photo with Lucy, Horton, and guest-star Bea Benadaret.
“The Amateur Hour” (1952) ~ Lucy babysits for rambunctious twin boys, Jimmy and Timmy Hudson. In reality, the boys were not twins. They were played by Sammy Ogg (Jimmy) and David Stollery (Timmy).
Enrique Alberto Ricardo IV aka Little Ricky Ricardo ~ Probably one of the most famous children in television history due mainly to the fact that his birth coincided with the birth of Lucille Ball’s real-life boy, Desi Arnaz Jr. Contrary to popular myth, Desi Jr. never played Little Ricky. The character was played by a series of seven child actors, including two sets of twins and one dream Little Ricky. They include (in chronological order): James John Ganzer, Richard and Ronald Lee Simmons, Joseph and Michael Mayer, and Keith Thibodeaux (aka Richard Keith). The dream Little Ricky was uncredited. Despite the resemblance, he was not played by Jerry Mathers (”Leave it To Beaver”). An older dream Little Ricky (definitely not a child) also went uncredited.
“Lucy Goes to the Hospital” (1953) ~ The same episode that introduces Little Ricky, we meet a new edition to the Stanley household - three newborn girls. Mr. Stanley (Charles Lane) already has six daughters. Fred suggests he start a softball team.
“Baby Pictures” (1953) / “Lucy and Superman” (1957) ~ Caroline and Charlie Appleby’s son Stevie appears in two episodes. The uncredited baby who played him in 1953 had just gotten over the measles before filming. Little Ricky and Little Stevie are both said to be 13 months old at the time. The next time we see Little Stevie is in “Lucy and Superman,” four years later, where his is played by Steven Kay.
“Mertz and Kurtz” (1954) ~ Fred’s former vaudeville partner Barney Kurtz (Charles Winninger) comes for a visit. He has been writing to his granson telling him that he is still a star, so Ricky stars him in a revue at the club and invites Little Barney (Stephen Wootton) to the Tropicana. Wootton was nine years old at the time of filming and had been acting since the age of seven. He returned to Desilu for 1959 episode of "Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse” which was introduced by Desi Arnaz and starred William Frawley.
“Second Honeymoon” (1956) ~ When Ricky is kept busy playing gigs on the ship to Europe, Lucy strikes up a friendship with Kenneth Hamilton played by nine year-old Harvey Grant. Grant had played the youngest son in CBS TV’s “Life With Father” from 1953 to 1955.
“Lucy Gets Homesick in Italy” (1956) ~ Missing Little Ricky on his birthday, Lucy decides to lavish her attentions on shoeshine boy Giuseppe (Bart Braverman). Bartley Louis Braverman was born in Los Angeles in 1946. This was his fifth TV role although he used the name Bart Bradley until 1962. The little girl Theresa (“She's-a her birthday, too!”) was played by Kathleen Mazolo (nee Mazzola). This is her one and only screen credit of record.
Lucy and the Mertzes throw a birthday party for the children - until Giuseppe feels guilty about claiming it is his birthday, and tells the truth.
“Lucy’s Bicycle Trip” (1956) ~ Biking along the Riviera, the gang takes shelter in the barn of an Italian farmer (Mario Siletti). The farmer cannot give them lodging in his house because he has nine children: Teresa, Sofia, Luigi, Pietro, Dino, Gino, Rosa, Mario, and Antonio - all of whom remain off camera throughout the episode. “Mama Mia! Multi bambini!”
“Return Home from Europe” (1956) ~ On the flight home, Lucy disguises a cheese as a baby. Another new mother (Mary Jane Croft) sits next to her with her baby, a four month old named Caroline. Lucy mistakenly says her baby is named Chedder, then quickly corrects herself. “Chester!” In reality, both bundles are props.
“Lucy and Bob Hope” (1956) ~ At Yankee Stadium, Bob Hope is approached by a young fan (David Saber) asking for an autograph. Before granting it, he asks the boy “Have you seen my latest picture, ‘The Iron Petticoat?’” The boy eagerly replies, “Yes, sir.” Coincidentally, this is the first episode to feature Keith Thibodeaux as Little Ricky.
“Little Ricky Gets Stage Fright” (1956) ~ Little Ricky is taking music lessons, but gets nervous at the recital. Like all the children in the episode, little Diana Van Fossen uses her own name, playing a squeaky, out-of-tune rendition of “Swanee River” on the violin. Earl Robie, the 10 year-old ukulele player, was the most experienced of the child performers on the show, having appeared in eight films and TV shows such as “Lassie” and “The Loretta Young Show.” Ironically, despite his credits, his character gets the measles and doesn’t get to perform with the Dixieland Band in the final scene at the Club Babalu.
Others in the class include: Laurie Blaine (flute), Buddy Noble (bass), Robert Norman (trumpet), Larry Gleason (accordian), and Jeffrey Woodruff (trombone).
“Lucy and Superman” (1957) ~ Stevie Appleby (Steven Kay) attends Little Ricky’s birthday party with an apartment full of similarly-aged children. The tiny actors appear uncredited. During “London Bridge” Kay looks at Fred suspiciously.
“Little Ricky’s School Pageant” (1957) ~ The Ricardos and Mertzes are recruited to act in Little Ricky’s school pageant, “The Enchanted Forest”. His 'sister’ Suzy Brown was played by Candy Rogers Schoenberg. She was the prize pupil at Pepito and Joanne’s dancing school, which loaned the costumes, sets, and provided the student performers for the episode.
After the filming, the more than 20 children took a photo with Lucy, Desi, Bill, Vivian, Pepito, and Joanne.
Little Ricky’s pal Bruce Ramsey was played by Ray Farrell in three 1957 episodes of “I Love Lucy”: “Lucy Gets Chummy With The Neighbors,” “Lucy Does the Tango,” and “Housewarming”. He was also known for 14 episodes of the TV series “Peck's Bad Girl” (1959).
Little Ricky also had two unseen friends his age: Billy Munson, who lived in Westport with his parents Grace and Harry; and Bily Palmer, who gave Little Ricky the puppy who became Fred the dog.
“The Ricardos Dedicate a Statue” (1957) ~ In the very last half hour episode of “I Love Lucy,” Desi Arnaz Jr. appears in a crowd scene along with two unidentified young girls. Despite rumors to the contrary, one of them is NOT Lucie Arnaz.
“Lucy Goes To Mexico” (1958) ~ In Tijuana, ten year-old Alan Roberts (nee Costello) played Alfredo, the enterprising Mexican boy who wants nothing more than to see a great 'flat top' (air craft carrier). Two weeks after this episode aired, he appeared on "Leave it to Beaver” as a Spanish boy who is befriends by the Beaver.
At the end of the episode, Little Ricky performs Maurice Chevalier’s “Valentina” with a quartet of pint-sized dancers, the equivalent to the grown up chorines his father sings to.
“Lucy Makes Room for Danny” (1959) ~ The cast of “The Danny Thomas Show” aka “Make Room for Daddy” does a cross-over episode with “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” to mark the show moving into Lucy’s time slot. The cast includes the Williams children, Rusty (Rusty Hamer) and Linda (Angela Cartwright). “Make Room for Daddy” was filmed at Desilu Studios.
RUSTY (about living in the country): “I have a feeling I’m gonna miss the bright lights of Broadway.” DANNY (to Ricky): “Don’t mind him, he’s one of the beat generation.”
In the last hour-long episode, “Lucy Meets the Mustache” (1960) featuring Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams, Little Ricky is said to go to school with Kovacs' daughter Kippie, his second daughter by his first wife. Although Kippie does not appear in the episode, she would have been 10 years old at the time. Kippie's older sister Bette is also mentioned. After their father's death, the girls were the subject of a bitter custody battle between Edie Adams and their mother, Bette Wilcox.

The 2023 Hater's Guide to the West Region
This blog is not in any way affiliated with the NCAA, its entities, subsidiaries, or member institutions. This is a humor site and should be treated as such. We’re all on our way out – act accordingly.
1. Kansas (28-6). When Texas beat Kansas to end the Big 12 (8?) regular season, the intrepid videographer shooting the game happened to catch a KU coed wearing a t-shirt which read “I (heart) Dick.” A-fucking-mazing. Look, I don’t have to tell you KU fans need this one seed, need the wins, need a title more than anything to justify their continued existence. They live in Kansas for fuck’s sake – Interstate 70 ends in Lawrence and you are stuck wandering the plains like Denzel Washington in Book of Eli until you reach Colorado, and the interstate magically appears again. There is NOTHING to do here other than watch basketball, and that says a lot, because I live in Iowa!
2. UCLA (29-5). This is a Bruin, right? With that face, I am 100% sure his name is “Crick Monin.”
3. Gonzaga (28-5). There is a new Constitutional amendment which clearly states you are no longer allowed to refer to Gonzaga as a Cinderella school. It’s been twenty five years - I think the slipper finally broke. They’ve now been in every final AP poll since the 2008-09 season, and have appeared in every weekly AP poll since 2016-17, a streak of 115 consecutive weeks. I will never stop laughing when eighth year senior Drew Timme appears on my TV screen. All I see is TIMMY from South Park. Fuck John Stockton.
4. UConn (25-8). Go back to the AAC! Biggest group of crybabies in the country and it isn’t even close. When their women’s team had an injury plagued season (lost five games including back-to-back games for the first time in 30 years), Geno Auriemma vented to the media and to his team, telling them they had three days before the conference tournament to fix things. Then he got in his car and drove home to Manchester, wishing he could continue westward. “The way I felt was I want to wake up in California in three days,” he said. “I just want to keep driving, I don’t want to do anything, I don’t want to come to practice.” Jesus man, just fucking quit already and move away from that awful place. Twitter account CrimsonCast put it best: UConn continues to fail to shake the perception that they are simply an analytics darling. Like an east coast version of the Mountain West.
5. Saint Mary’s (26-7). Every bracket, no matter the site, always lists this school as “Saint Mary’s (CA).” Why? No one is confusing this school for the archaeological dig site posing as a university in Maryland, or the all-women’s college in north-central Indiana where many of the enrolled students play for nearby Leprechaun U, also known as Notre Dame. No, this is the school – in California – that gets exclusive coverage on ESPN Australia/New Zealand. Sixty percent of the student body is involved in organized athletics here, so it’s a good chance you’ll be handed a scholarship and some sort of ball upon move-in. It’s either that or forced labor washing jockstraps.
6. TCU (21-12). Their coach gives out a pair of “charge socks” when a Horned Frog player takes a charge. There’s a big bucket of these colorful dress socks in the TCU locker room. Charge socks? You have to be kidding me. You are in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, you can’t find a bag of blow or an extra couple of c-notes for your athletes? (Producer cuts in…garbled static…). Pardon me, I’ve just been informed that the “C” in TCU stands for “Christian.” There is no cocaine on campus. But NIL is legal now, surely you can find something other than a pair of sweaty dress socks to reward your unpaid employees. Perhaps a sad handjob from a coed who has already put on the freshman 15+15+15?
7. Northwestern (21-11). Congratulations, you finished top three in the Big Ten for the first time since 1960. You won your last conference championship 90 (!) years ago. You have made one (1) NCAA tournament and had to be retroactively selected as something called the Helms National Champion. Your most successful head coach played for Phog Allen at Kansas – in 1917! Northwestern basketball is the definition of futility. They are the Chicago Cubs of the NCAA; fitting for a program that markets itself as “Chicago’s Big Ten team” (insert jerking off hand motion here). Even if Northwestern won 25 games a season for the next 25 years, they would still have a losing record.
8. Arkansas (20-13). It is against state law to mispronounce “Arkansas'' while in the state, yet their residents pronounce jalapeno “Holla-PEE-no.” Gun to my head, I wouldn’t be able to look at Sarah Huckabee Sanders naked, playing with a hula hoop, for more than a second.
9. Illinois (20-12). Brad Underwood is a bargain-bin Gene Keady who is very upset about “booty ball.” Every press conference he attends ends with him making a wet fart sound into the microphone.
10. Boise State (24-9). No one gives a shit about this team unless tater tots rise to $6 a bag – then it’s time to storm the blue court. I know exactly one person from Idaho and their personality matches that of the official state produce. This person is incapable of being corrected. They are always right. You are always wrong. If you say the sky is blue, their response will no doubt begin with “well, actually…” Boise is also not a state, you arrogant fuckhead.
11. Arizona State (20-12) or Nevada (23-9). Over 60% of the student body at ASU has some form of herpes. Unless you are a model, they throw you in an engineering building for four years. If you hate Duke just like the rest of America, you generally hate Christian Laettner and Grant Hill. But there’s one player from those early-90s teams everyone forgot: Bobby Hurley. As I’ve aged, my hatred for Hurley has waned, but I’ll always wish maximum pain for whatever team he coaches.
With the growth of legalized sports gambling across the United States, the University of Nevada has introduced several new classes for the 2023-24 school year: Kneecap Relocation, Intermediate Hammer Smashing Techniques, and Advanced Vig Calculation. Another new course addition as of Thursday morning: Getting Your Shit Pushed In By A Sun Devil Pitchfork. Too soon? Probably.
12. VCU (27-7). VCU stands for Very Completely Underwhelming. This isn’t a college, it’s an industrial laundry that has tricked 28,000 students into paying the institution to “work.” If you want a perfect example of the bloat in higher education administration, consider there are over 11,000 non-academic staff at VCU. Never trust a doctor from this school; they only practiced on centaurs.
13. Iona (27-7). Someone is going to give Rick Pitino the best 14 seconds of his life to coach for them.
14. Grand Canyon (24-11). By employing buzzer-beating Valpo alum Bryce Drew, this pretend university has already accomplished more in the NCAA Tournament than Mount Rushmore State, Hoover Dam U, Smokey Mountains College and SUNY-Niagara Falls.
15. UNC Asheville (27-7). Let’s have a quick check-in on how this college is doing. Student enrollment and retention are plunging at UNC-Asheville and top leadership is departing at the highest rate in the entire UNC system. While overall student enrollment in the UNC system has increased 7% since 2015, UNC-Asheville fell by a stunning 25%, the largest drop among the 16 public universities in the system. Of the incoming students UNC-A is able to attract, a high number of them leave before graduation. Retention of students, measured as those returning for a second year of school, is now just 68.6%, the lowest in ten years. Jesus, even Trump University would laugh at these numbers.
16. Howard (22-12). Howard students recently had to protest living conditions in on-campus dorms – mold, mildew, and rats are apparently very commonplace in multiple residences. It is 2023; the only sensible reason these alarming conditions should be issues on your campus is when you have outsourced every part of the student life experience to a call center in the middle of the Himalayas.

I think season 9 and 10 should have been the season's with the biggest arc. Where Timmy learns more than just his fairies in Dimmsdale are magical. Also they could have made Chloe a slight antagonist to Timmy, where she's a magical creature hunter only not in the bad way like Crocker or Ms. Doomslayer. Instead she and her parents relocate magical creatures to special preserves where they can be safe from people discovering them, only most were doing just fine hiding themselves thank you very much.
Go with the "hey Timmy you've got magic in you because you've been basically doused with fairy magic, genie magic, pixie magic, yadda yadda magic from every magical creature alive, PLUS The Actual Darkness" and Chloe begins hunting Timmy. Timmy has to both train his new powers and stay away from Chloe and her magic hunting dog Sparky(who does not talk and is very much a serious magic hunting dog, who only acts goofy and dog like when he and Chloe can be alone).
Maybe Timmy befriends her and shows her how magical creatures can coexist with humans and not be found out(aka Chip Skylark being one of Apollo's Muses but posing as a teenage pop star, Britney Britney is either a normal human or some kind of Siren). Or gets her and her family away from magical creature hunting all together.
Hope you like this idea, if anybody writes fanfics on this please let me know so I can read them!
Tbh I fully think that if fairy odd parents (the og one) was less episodic and had more character development and longer lasting archs impacting the characters it could have gone down has one of the best shows ever. As much as the show ran itself dry it would come up with plots that were amazing ideas, like the fairy Olympics, the musical, Hell even the cross overs with jimmy. I understand that it’s a kids show so like I shouldn’t be expecting anything and also butch Hartman sucks ass but I wish we had more of a development to Timmy’s character, as well as cosmo and Wanda. It would have made a lot of things easier to to actually progress and get attached too what’s actually going on. They set up the show with this theme of found family, and learning with the people around you, but they never stuck with it. They consistently always ignored what happened in the past and just make Timmy’s life miserable over and over and turn him more into a bratty kid for the sake of the show running, rather then turn it into an actual lesson of growth and maturity and how you can learn it from anywhere.
Timmy just in general deserves a lot better in show terms/writing terms cause he had so much potential to actually be an amazing representation of how you can grow out of your bio family, and tbh a whole like “people shouldn’t forget their fairys” ending would also be nice. Idk there’s alot of missed potential with the og show, especially with how much they worked on our little godparent family w Timmy :(
#timmy turner#fairly oddparents#fop#fairly odd parents#cosmo#wanda#alternate season 9 and 10#really I love the idea that other magical creatures are in hiding around timmy#and it takes his own magic awakening to see them#chloe carmichael#sparky the fairy dog#both would be perfect antagonists for Timmy#even crocker could go back to his old ways#hunting timmy now for his magic instead of his fairies#of course cosmo and wanda and poof are not going to let anyone touch their son#these seasons could also see timmy actually calling cosmo dad and wanda mom#this way timmy can keep his family of fairies
