watching a movie about a sport you know nothing about can be the definition of vibing without comprehension and i experienced that today
#film: 83#83 the movie#bollywood#local gay watches Bollywood.txt#for those asking the media in question is 83 (2021)#and it's f*cking hilarious bc my dad is really into cricket#i have no concern for the sport whatsoever#so watching this film as the child of Afro-Caribbean West Indian parents with strong evidence of South Asian ancestry#is a double edged sword bc we're all rooting for the underdogs#but the Windies are just tearing it up on the f*cking field like nobody's business#begging Bollywood to understand however that the West Indies is not just Jamaica???#like i hate to break it to you but there were only two Jamaicans on the Windies World Cup team that year. two#on the other hand there were four Bajans two Antiguans#two Trinis playing for T&T as a whole#why are all the extras in dreadlocks and playing reggae music and waving the Jamaican flag#every time a Windies player opened their mouth it was this strange mix of Jamaican accent/whatever else they decided to throw in there#in a supposed attempt to be 'authentic'#ik about Windrush and the fact that most of the people who came over were Jamaicans but. but. people from literally#every other country in the Caribbean under British rule immigrated as well???#between this and the 'ceasefire so we can listen to cricket' i am once again reminded that this is a biopic not a documentary#Ranveer and Deepika were f*cking good in this tho#and her fits were insane i am in love with that accordian skirt and skinny turtleneck she wore during the first half of the Cup games

When Miles first met you, it was hard for him to understand your broken English. But you were so pretty he was going to make sure he learned how.
Even though you were born US, your parents moved to America making your accent super strong and often hard for him to decipher
But now that he’s known you and had been with you for some time, it was like second language when he heard you speak.
He would sometimes even catch himself speaking like you, making the people around him confused.
They would just have to get used to it like he did.
One thing you two bond over is your love of fruit
Give you two a good mango or plátano and it was over
His mom absolutely loves you no doubt.
Sees you as one of her own and is so happy when you come over
She had given both you and Miles a talk separately about not breaking the others heart
Promised to her you wouldn’t and vise versa
When you first met uncle Aaron he gave you a really hard time
But when you stood your ground over and over again he eventually accepted you, telling miles that you could “hold your own.”
Aaron ends up becoming super close to you and acts like he likes you more than his own nephew
He does
You had been invited to multiple functions before and honestly his whole fam loved when you were around tbh
Of course in every relationship there was conflict
You two butt heads often because how strongly opinionated you both were
Both of you were like super sassy and had attitudes so you would often have “heated debates” over the littlest things, even if it was just for jokes
Something that was really hard for Miles was learning to accept what you wore
Like you were mad comfy with your body and often wore clothes that he would deem as “inappropriate” but he knew you weren’t wearing them to be.
Ended up having to letting it go and now non verbally threatens anyone who stares at you for too long.
He was genuinely surprised with how much your family varied in color the first function of yours he went to
He thought his familia was the biggest, most diverse in New York, he was wrong.
Yours definitely took the cake
You made him try doubles, and at first he though they were going to be gross or just not his thing
He was 100% wrong. You ended up having to make another plate because he ate em all.
Your mom loved Miles, happy that you found someone who loved you just as much as you loved him.
But she makes him help clean up
First time Miles met your father he could’ve sworn your dad absolutely hated him
He did
Ended up accepting Miles after he defended you from a stranger in front of him
Started calling Miles son and would often ask about how he was when Miles was gone.
Safe to say Miles was going to be around for a while

LOCKDOWN PART 2!
Tumblr media
"Okay sexy!" Your friend and fellow artist, Sabirah-Amani paraded your ear with praises and hype as you checked yourself out in your hotel mirror. You had been working for the past few months, project after project, and although you were grateful, you were two hops and a skip away from burnout. Between choreographing for artists and late nights in the studio in hopes of being your own artist, you hadn't much left to give. You were very clearly overextending yourself in all areas. You were ambitious and focused, precise about your work; You're an artist, and you were sensitive about your shit! However, you were beginning to neglect yourself emotionally and spiritually. You and Sabi came to the mutual decision that a vacation was much needed. The two of you spent the week catching appointments, pampering and refreshing your appearance. You give a small giggle before looking at her briefly and mimicking a hair-flipping motion. "Look you," She continues in her trini-yunese accent. "In short ting. All yuh collarbone outside." The two of you erupted in laughter. "And all of Jamaica will continue to see my collarbone, okay?" you responded, still laughing. Ochi was so beautiful. It was full of sights and bashments and raves and just beautiful people having a beautiful time. For a reason unbeknownst to you, everything out of Jamaica just resonated with you and held your heart so deeply. It had been your first morning in JA, and as expected, the sun was blazing. The bright sun and tropical breeze shone through your plexiglass balcony doors. You and Sabi were going to get breakfast as well as check out the rest of the hotel. A cocoa-beige brown triangle bikini set hugged your body, overlapped with a long, knitted skirt of the same color. A white, knitted long-sleeved cropped coverup laid baggy over your toned arms. Your feet rested in some rhinestone encrusted strap sandals. Your hair was braided in cornrows falling right above the dip in your lower back , swirl designs in every direction. It was entirely too hot for a full beat, so your fresh lash set was holding you down. "You ready to go?" You asked. "Let's do it. " Sabi replied, and with that, you were out of the room and off to the lobby.
After getting off the elevator, the two of you walked through the lobby to reach where you would be having breakfast at. After filling up your plates at the buffet, you took a seat in the far corner of the restaurant, a clear view of the beach across from you. "I know we just got here and everything but," Sabi started. "I kinda wanna jump into the vibes tonight." "Um absolutely, that was the plan from jump," You say in sort of a 'duh' tone. "But I know you need your rest. You know, some unwinding time." She says concerningly. Sabi was always looking out for you in that way, it was one of her greatest assets as a friend. "Girl, mi neva come a Jamaica fi lie dung. I got another week and a half to rest!" You say in a comedic way, but you meant it. You were already starting to feel better being in a newer and fresher feeling environment. Rest would come, but right now? Vibes. "Okay, okay!" Sabi laughed in a hearty manner. "Yo you and this Patois accent, knowing you not even Jamaican is frying me." You playfully rolled your eyes. It was true. You were in love with all things of different cultures, so each one you immersed yourself in, you began to pick up. Growing up in NY, all you were around were Caribbean people, so it wasn't out of the ordinary for you. "Speaking of Jamaicans," Sabi began, and somehow, you knew what direction this was going in. "When's the last time you spoke to Mikayla?" "Who?" You lie, lazily spooning through your bowl of porridge. "Mikaylaaaa, Mikayla, Koffee, Big bad reggae artist from Spaintown, Jamaica, your woman--" She goes into a rampage and you cut her off. "Alrightttt, alright, alright. I get it" You rush her to end her tangent, hoping no one around you guys heard. "I don't know.. March?" You say, voice dying down at the end in cowardice. "MARCH?" Sabi's draw drops. "Y/N..it's June." A guilty expression washed over you. "I know, Sabi." "Why you duckin' her?" Sabi cocks up her left eyebrow and leans forward, curious to hear your answer. "I--" You drop your utensil in audacity. "Why you assume it was me?" "Girl, please okay. She was on your ass like back pockets at that Roc Nation Brunch. We both know you're Miss Ghost Town." Sabi says reading you for filth, pulling an accidental laugh out of you.
“I mean, she’s a big artist, she could have anyone she wants.” You shrug. “Her not hearing from me is barely putting a dent in her life plans.”
The truth was, prior to your disappearance, you two were becoming closer by the minute. You really liked Koffee. And with that, your body began to do that thing that it does when you’re about to be fully consumed by that feeling of infatuation. It wasn’t so much the idea of a relationship that you were scared of, but more-so of the uncertainty of its stability. Koffee was now an international artist, who meets thousands of people every day. You knew how it was in the industry, you were in it. It was one thing to really like someone, but to like someone in the entertainment industry was like setting yourself up for heartbreak. And you had entirely too much on your plate to go through that shit again.
“Who reached out last?” She asks.
“.. Her.” You say in a “so” type of tone.
“Mm.” She responds, strategically setting up her “aha” statement. “And who gave who an unlimited backstage pass for all her shows, in ANY city?”
“…her.” your defeated responses began to get smaller.
“And who—“ you cut her off, in attempts to stop the physically pain of her being right.
“Okay, okay, damn,” you laugh. “But you know how that shit go, Sav. One minute she thinks she wanna be with me and the next, she’s in some European country, with who knows, doing God knows what.”
“Uh, uh.” She says in disapproval. “Now you know she ain’t hunching with no white women.”
You burst into laughter. She could always tie something together comedically while simultaneously giving you the real.
“It don’t hurt to just say wassup, Y/N/N. I mean besides, when’s the last time you had any ‘fun’. Let loose a lil. If anyone needs to, it’s you.” Sab says, voice full of concern, but direction.
You looked off outside the window, pondering on her message. You missed her dearly. Who were you trying to fool? I mean maybe you were a little harsh. She didn't really give you any reason to be. Sure you'd seen some photo ops with her and other female artists, but that was her job. You didn't like the feeling it gave you though. When you look back towards Sabirah and her now empty plate, she was smiling at her phone. "And who exactly got you smiling like that?" You ask, now shining the figurative spotlight on her. "Oh it's nobody for real," She waved off. "Nobody huh," You chuckle. "What nobody say?" "Well actually, Nobody is gonna be at this party tonight that I planned on dragging you too." "Party?" You say frowning. "With all these white folks? Since when you wanna go to a resort party." "Oh girl, be so for real," She says scoffing. "My cousin JJ and his girlfriend are here at her family house, and they're throwing a bashment, off the resort." Your eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. You were actually ecstatic to be getting into some real vibes off the resort. I mean, truly you had no real complaints, after all, you were in Jamaica. But country had the homegrown, feel good energy you were dying to be around. It was more authentic. "See now, that's what I'm talking about!" The two of you embraced in a dap across the table. "How we getting there?" "You ever been on a dirt bike before?" Sabi asks sincerely, yet you think she's joking. "What?!" ꨄ︎ Night begins to fall and as you and Sabi make your way out of the resort, a warm breeze surrounds your body. You two are greeted by JJ and his friend, Dwayne, and hop on the back of their blue and green dirt bikes. You wrap your arms around Dwayne's torso, tightly shut your eyes, say a small prayer and with a loud rev, you pull off into the rocky roads. When you finally gain to courage to open your eyes, you're blown away by how beautiful the scenery was. The hue of the sunset was mixed with orange, pink and purple, and tall trees took space along the sides of the open road. Each refreshing breath you took smelled like rain-bathed plants, summer and adventure. As a result of the fast-paced vehicle moving swifter and in the opposite direction of breeze flow, your braids flew past you forwardly. You couldn't help but to smile, in awe of all the beauty around you. "Woooo! JAMAICA WE REACH!" Sabi yells, cheers carrying across the sky, 80-mph. You beamed at her enthusiasm. Truth be told, you were just as excited. 20 minutes later, you pull into a backyard seemingly as big as 1/3 of the island. You were nowhere near the DJ booth, but you could feel the bass bumping through your entire body. If it weren't for the spacious area, you'd be packed like sardines. Everybody from the parish you were in were in attendance. Men dressed in their straight jeans, belts and button downs, marinas and cut-up shorts; most with spliffs in hand. Women in their mesh top and shorts, mini skirts, mini dresses, heels and bamboos, nails done and hair laid to the gods. This definitely wasn't the event to come looking regular. The aroma of seasonings and a burning grill slithered through your nose canal, causing you to avert your attention behind you, where hot plates of food and alcoholic drinks were being given out to the people in the line. It was definitely a vibe. "Ayeee allyuh mek it!" Sabi's cousin JJ comes and greets us both with a hug. "I saved two plates for y'all, cuz if it was any later, you'd be chewing your lip." You all erupt in laughter. "Omg J," you began. "You're the literal best because I am starving." "No sweat," JJ throws his hands up, emphasizing the 'no big deal.' "Your plates are in the fridge in the kitchen. Shelly's mom is holding it down, so you don't gotta worry about nobody theifing it." "Thanks Knucklehead," Sabi pinches his ear.
"Ouch! Remind me, I ent doing anyting nice fa yuh no more, yuh could starve!" JJ says to Sabi, rubbing his pinched ear.
"yUh couLd sTarVE!" Sabi mocks him. The two of them couldn't get along for more than 5 minutes, but it was always love behind their quarrel.
"Well look at you twooo!" JJ's girlfriend, Shelley approaches you with beaming smiles and open arms.
"Hot gyal Shells!" Sabi starts. "It's been a long time."
"Naa tell no lie! When JJ told me you two were visiting a resort so close by, I had to pull you for at least one night." Shelley says holding both you and Sabi's hands individually.
"Your home is beautiful Shells." You sincerely confess. "Thank you for the invite. Look at the turnout! You doing your big one."
"Thank you, babydoll. You know you're welcome absolutely any time. And I gotta put my ex party-promoting skills to some use!" Shelley replies.
Shelley threw crazy parties back in the day. She always was hosting, and was sure to not only bring in a crowd, but a GOOD one. Amongst many talents, she had the gift of gab for sure. She also always had artists in her venues. From Spice to Konshens, Shenseea to Aidonia. Everyone knew Shelley.
"I know that's right. Besides, I was getting tired of the resort food." Sabi says honestly, making us chuckle. The food was still good, but definitely a watered down version.
"Well!" Shelley clasps her hands together. "Dolly nuh come a party fi hug up pan wall. Unnu guh dance!"
"Don't nobody wanna dance with Paula the Preying Mantis." JJ teases Sabi, bending his arms up like the insect.
"Shut up, JJ!" Sabi says, giving his shoulder a hard nudge.
"Leave Sabi alone." Shelley follows up with a back-handed slap over his other shoulder. "I ain't wanna dance with you when we met. I just felt bad."
"Ohhhhhhh..." You and Sabi both say simultaneously, gagged by the way she just read him.
"Now why you had to go there? You ain't ha-" JJ began and Shelley cooed, half consoling him, half mocking. You and Sabi laugh your way all the way to the middle of the backyard, where the bulk of the party was.
You took in the scene around you and allowed yourself to get lost in the music. Sean Paul & Sasha’s I’m Still In Love with You is pouring out of the speakers and into your ears, filling you with nostalgia. You begin to rock side to side and slow whine your hips. It was definitely a bittersweet feeling. This was one of the songs you danced to at Reggae Music Fest with— her. You missed her. But she could’ve reached out right? You know, besides the 3 times she did already, that you were seemingly to busy for? That didn’t mean give up!
You and Sabi spun each other around and shared some whines and some laughs. You truly felt at peace for the first time in such a long time. You broke away for Sabi for one minute, and the next, she had a new dancing partner. You smiled at the interaction, and before you could really take it in, somebody approached you to dance with you as well.
“Excuse me likkle miss,” A tall, brownskin man with locs down his back approached you with a smooth, but respectful hand on your waist. “Beg yuh a dance nuh?” He smiled, showing off his fanged teeth.
He wanted to dance. Why not? You were out there to enjoy yourself. And at least you know the two of you could dance and that be it. It’s not like he was your type anyway— (obviously). What was truly the harm?
You gave him a smile, accepting his request & began to dance with him. Long before you knew it, you were dancing to another song with him. The man knew how to move. And he smelled phenomenal. Your moment was disturbed, however, when you began to notice two men in the far, right corner of the yard staring at you. And not in the admiring way; it was almost as if they were discussing you. Like they knew you from somewhere. The guy obviously felt it too.
“Yuh know dem from someweh?” He asks, semi-concerned. You just gave him a confused head shake, no.
“Yow yow yow, people, if yuh a enjoy yuhself tonight, mek some bloodclat noiseee!” The dj scratched and lowered the track to speak, and the crowd erupted.
“Outside nice, man. Good weather, sexy ladies, hot tunes. If a Jamaica yuh come from and yuh proud of it, buss a blank!” He continues.
Gun finger emotes fill the sky, followed by mimicked gunshot noises.
“This next song yah is fi all a di people dem weh love the Caribbean.”
Soon as the song begins, you feel your heart drop to your stomach and you’re adrenaline begin to rush.
Balenciaga 'pon me structure
Who them talk, push get the duck yah
I-i-i-io!
Everybody begins to cheer and holler to the feel good song.
It was West Indies.
West Indies was your favorite song by Koffee. It was such a feel good song, and you were there while she was constructing it. You knew it was close to her heart. She had even asked for your input. You encouraged her to push it out and make it a single. You knew the people would love it just as much as you did. And they did.
You felt yourself begin to get emotional, but you stopped the tears from advancing their welled-up position behind your lower lids. You migrated away from the main section, simply to avoid being asked to dance again. Not to this song. Too personal.
Sabi found you in the crowd and shot you a look of sympathy. “You okay?” she mouthed. You gave a closed lip smile and nodded. You decided to go get a drink and take some edge of. As bothered as you were, you still loved the song.
“One rum and pineapple, please.” You ask tell the lady serving drinks. You know you don’t have to pay anything, but you slip her a $10 anyway.
The mixed beverage slides down your throat and coaxes your nerves and you begin to let loose.
Coming from the West Indies
And you know say we giving them the best indeed
Anyweh we deh, we do a flex 'pon street
And the stylе weh we do no moderatе stampede
As you sway back and forth, cup in hand, approaching tipsy, you see a group of girls walking by, double-taking your face and your frame. They then begin whispering. All you could make out was “Koffee” and “Girl”.
Alright. What the fuck was going on?
You tried your hardest to ignore it, returning to your state of groove. As the chorus began to approach, the dj lowered the music once again.
“Alright everybody, mek some noise and big up Koffee!!!”
You froze. Immediately. Ironically when all you wanted to do was melt into the ground.
She was here. Of course she was.
And there she stood. In her black tank, showing between her opened and collared olive green button down, with olive green straight pants to match. She stood in black clarks. Her toffee brown skin being complimented by gold chains and gold bangles. Her medium-long locs held back in a hair tie in a loose bun.
Damn. She always looked good. But she would be looking her absolute best when you’ve been semi-dodging her.
If you know me, I'm having the time of my life
Don't you slow me down, beg you pardon me
I wanna just party (yeah)
I wanna just, I wanna just
I wanna just party (yeah)
I wanna just party, yeah
She walked back and forth the backyard stage, she captured the entire audience and held them hostage with her stage presence. If you weren’t in such a state of shock, you’d be in awe too. She was alluring in that way.
Sabi looked back at you from the crowd with wide, just-as-shocked-as-you-are eyes. Koffee spotted her and followed her gaze, making eye contact with you. There she stood, taking you in. Almost immediately, she gives you a warm expression with soft eyes and a wide smile, showing off her braces. A couple people looked back to see who or what she was looking at; others continued to vibe.
Instantly you felt your body heat up, and you failed an attempted fight not to smile back. You missed her, and she looked great, but you couldn’t help but feel guilty for letting so much time go by. However, something was telling you that she wasn’t phased very much. Seeing her up there in her element, you couldn't help but to think back to when the two of you first met at Reggaefest. She had been on the rise, heavy in the media, and the crowd was absolutely losing it. She had amazing stage presence. She wasn't too harmful on the eyes either. She went right after Lila Ike, who's dancers you choreographed. Koffee and her dancers walked up to the end of the stage and took a collaborated bow, hand in hand. Thank you Reggae Sumfest! You sat sideline, watching in awe. Her set was amazing.
Not to mention she wasn’t too hard on the eyes either. She had on a pair of light blue shorts, accented with white lines, a plain white tee, a blue fitted and AF1’s that looked like she bought them right before this set. Neck and wrists laced with that Caribbean gold. Her skin was glowing and glistening, sweat parading the circumference of it. Her locs were out, falling and standing right beneath her shoulders. With her team following, she walked and exited stage right, where you had been standing. She looked at you, and your rose your hands to clap for the artist, giving a closed-lip smile. She stopped in front of you gave you a small bow and a smile, appreciating your acknowledgement. You killed it, are you kidding?
A dat yuh seh?! She exclaims and smiles brightly. Respect, respect mama, thank you. Her speaking voice was just astonishing as her singing voice. The accent wasn’t making it any better either. What's your name? Y/N. She hummed at the sound of your name and repeats it. Y/N. I saw you and your dancers dem inna Lila's rehearsal. You have nuff talent. I'm a fan honestly. You scoffed in disbelief, shrugging off the compliment. Oh please. If any one should be a fan, it's me. Well I'd love if you came by one of the rehearsals. Y-you want me to choreograph? Absolutely. She stood trying to read your expression. Not sure if you were happy about the idea. I mean if yuh nuh want to, yuh nuh have to-- No I'd love to. Cool. She smiled brightly. Gimmi yuh numba and mi wi sen yuh all e details dem. If that's ok with you, of course. Yes of course. She takes out her phone and you type in your information. "Y/N." It was nice meeting you officially, Koffee. You can call me Mikayla. The pretty girls nuh have to call me by fi mi stage name. She throws you and wink and walks off to meet back up with her crew. If you weren't a professional at work and if you didn't have any morals, your clothes would be off. You felt your cheeks warm-up and you began to smile against your will. Not knowing this job opportunity would lead into a far more deeper connection.
You came back to reality, visited with a bittersweet feeling of a fond but seemingly distant memory. How did you get here?
She performed a few more songs before making her way off stage to navigate through the crowd and do her rounds with all her people. Panicked seized you as you ran to grab your friend.
“We gotta go, neowwww” You grab Sabi’s arm and begin tugging her away from whoever she had been dancing with and towards the direction you so desperately wanted to go in.
“N-now? But we just got here!” She replies in a semi-whiney tone. You in fact had been there for a couple of hours.
“Yes now— JJ! You ready?” You ask him.
“You ready to go?” He whisper-mouths. You nod & he takes a small sip of his red-stripe beer, taps his friends next to him and off you guys were.
As the two of you approached the resort again, a feeling of relief washed over you. You were somewhat disappointed that you let your anxiety take over you, but at least you left before you were confronted. And you knew you would be.
You hug the boys and thank them before walking in and heading up to your room.
“That party was active, wasn’t it Sab?” you say, walking in, somewhat telling the truth. somewhat deflecting.
“Yeah, until you busted it, party pooper.”
You drop your jaw and gasp, fake taken aback as if you didn’t know what she was referring to. “Whaaat? me? What did I do?”
“wHaT dId i Do!?” she mocked you. “You chickened out on the vibes cuz your girlfriend came and you dodging her.”
“I did not! And she is not my girlfriend.” You start picking things up around y’all room and tidying up, needing something to focus you.
“Nah, Y/N/N, you on some wack shit right now, I won’t even front.”
She wasn’t wrong. If she did want to talk, what was the harm? She didn’t even do anything to you. But what if she hated you? And now you made it even worse, because she SAW you and you ran. She probably thinks you’re dodging her. But aren’t you? You desperately wished you would get it together.
“I mean what was I supposed to do?” You turned to face her.
“I don’t know, maybe talk to her? I mean what you think she gone say, marry me?” She semi-chuckled.
“K likes you, a lot. I can tell. And I think she’d be really good for you. But you gotta believe that you deserve it. Don’t let your overthinking cause her to slip out of your hands.”
You chewed at your bottom lip in thought, pondering on all of the different ways the night could’ve went. You always did this. Self-sabotage, and then beat yourself up over it. It was starting to get old, even for you.
“Imma let you sit with that. I’ll be back, I’mma hit the bar down in the lobby. Get me another lil drinky-drink, okayyy!” She says grabbing her things and you playfully roll your eyes.
“What? Okay don’t look at me like that, your night is over, not mine!” You give a hefty laugh, and slightly nudge her. You do your signature handshake, and she’s off.
Quickly after she unlocks the door with her key and runs back in.
“Almost forgot my hand fan. You know that liquor coat get serious. K bye love you!” And she’s out again. You laugh to yourself. That girl could drink.
You continue tidying up, even though there’s not much to tidy. But any form of cleaning/organizing grounded you, and now in this moment, you needed nothing more but to be grounded.
You were on your way to sit down when there was a subtle knock at your door. Leave it to Sabi to have forgotten something.
You walked up to the door, unlocked it, and began opening it. “What’d you forget this time S—“
Startled, you jump at the sight of who was actually standing before you.
“M-Mikayla?”
“Oh, so you do know who I am?” She says tauntingly, letting herself in. You close the door behind her, eyes following her movements, still in shock.
“I was starting to think seh yuh did forget about me eno?” And she flashes that smile again.
“How did you find me?” You ask sincerely, feeling sort of turned-on, not that you would admit it.
“The gyal who Sabi cousin deh wid told me you’d be here.” Shelley. I should’ve known. It was no coincidence that out of all people, Koffee would be performing there when I was. It started to click. This was a collaborative effort from Sabi and Shelley.
You gave an exhausted sigh as you prepared to plead your innocence. “Look, K, I didn’t mean to run off how I did I j—“
“Oh so you weren’t dodging me then?” She pries, stepping closer to you, waiting to see if you’d lie.
“I-i mean, no. Well, not on purpose.” You half tell the truth. She wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
“Oh suh yuh dweet fi accident?” She gives a sarcastic laugh. Your cheeks were burning with embarrassment, and for once, you wish it was from sunburn and not your own shame.
“I just thought..” You paused, debated telling her the truth or not. Awaiting your answer, she folds her arms across her chest and raises her eyebrows.
You decided to give in. She went through all this trouble.
“I don’t know, I ain’t really think you’d be checking for me like that. You know, with everything you got going on.”
Sheepishly, you looked down at your feet, fidgeting with your bracelet, ironically, the one she brought back for you on your second date. She looks down at it, giving a small, satisfied smirk, thankfully feeling not totally closed off from you like she almost thought.
“A mi tell yuh dat?”
You shook your head no.
“So you assumed,” She began. “I mean which part mek yuh feel like seh I wasn’t ‘checking’ for you?” She lightly mocked. “The repeated calls, or the double-triple texts?”
You chuckled bitterly at her sarcasm, and also at the fact that you couldn’t pin her to be wrong.
“If yuh nuh interested anymore,—“ She began and you couldn’t stomach her even continuing that thought.
“No, no.” You quickly interrupted her. You gave a heap of sigh before you would began to be totally honest with both her and yourself at the same time.
“I like you. I really fucking like you. And that’s the problem. You’re charming, you’re charismatic.. you fine…” you say trailing off that last part, making her laugh heartily.
“You have such a big heart. And if I, as the tough cookie and critic that I am can fall for you, I know girls all around the world are. I’d be lying if I said the thought of that didn’t make me ragingly jealous, but I also like you so much, that I don’t wanna deprive you of that opportunity. There could be someone far better for you out there. You could meet her tomorrow, hell, you could’ve met her already. See i’m all over the place and I—“
“Y/N.” She gently grabs your elbow and gives it a tug to bring you closer. “I appreciate your interest in my well-being. But mi neva ask yuh fi do dat, baby.”
“I chose you fi a reason. If mi really felt like seh a somebody better out deh fi mi, mi woulda neva run down yuh phone.” You laugh at her comedic delivery.
“I’m not perfect, but when mi love somebody mi love deep. A you mi want, and I knew that then and I know that now. All mi ask of you is to put it a likkle effort.”
She raises her hand to wipe the couple of tears that began to fall from your eyes. When you finally looked up at her, all you could do was nod. Nobody had ever went these lengths to show you that they cared before, and it meant so much that the person who was doing so was someone you considered your best friend. Mikayla knew you like the back of her hand. She could pull you out of any mood and place you in a better one, no matter the circumstance. And right now in this moment you felt so safe and so seen. And all you could think about was how silly you had been acting, and how silly it would be to let her go.
“Don’t cry baby.” She pulled you close to her and held you tight.
“I-i’m sorry for n-not answering you I—“ You let your vulnerability take over, and she consoled you before you could even get it out.
“Yuh nuh have to explain to me. Just mind yuh nuh pull away from me like that again, y’hear?” She pulls your chin up to her, switching her gaze between both of your eyes.
You lean into her and the two of you share a kiss. A pair of lips you have been longing to feel and haven’t felt in months. Instantly you felt a rush of emotions, all of which you felt when the two of you first met.
“Cuz mi need. All. of dis. yah love yah.” She repeatedly pecked you between each fragment, making you giggle into her lips.
“Okaaay, okay!” You say fake fighting her off. Truthfully you couldn’t think of anywhere else you’d rather be. You wrapped your arms around her neck and hoisted yourself up, locking your legs around her waist. You missed this feeling. You missed her. But you don’t know peace. Not yet.
“.. So who was that girl on stage who was tryna dance with you?” You playfully start an argument.
“Oh nuh start yuh fuckry, Y/N please.” She laughs and carries you out to the next room. And the two of you fall into each other all over again.

I wonder how they’re going to handle Aisha should they ever add her to the game. They’ve made some…interesting choices with their characters who have multiple suits so far (Tanya and Adam being Turbo, when Tanya was arguably more iconic as Zeo and Adam probably would’ve also gotten Zeo as not to double up on MMPR Black Rangers) but they also have Trent’s ATV in the game so just make her Ninja MMPR
I'm only up to episode ten so I could be wrong but the vibe I was getting was that there's one main rep for each season in the actual story and other Rangers from those teams were special event-only additions. So since Rocky is the main Zeo rep, Tanya gets her Turbo form instead (and the Turbo v2 team's In Space forms would get priority, not their Turbo forms - like I know from the intro screen that TJ is In Space Blue.)
But yeah, it's a shame Aisha's only really MMPR Yellow, so she has no alternate forms like the other "replacements" and thus gets left out from stuff like this because MMPR Yellow prioritizes Trini. (This is probably part of the reason why she doesn't morph in Once and Always.) Ninja Yellow and Metallic Armor Yellow are the closest she's got. I hope it can work out that they can include Ninja Yellow, even if it's such a dramatically different suit that it doesn't quite fit the Ranger model template they've got going on for this game, because it would be nice to include her in SOMETHING

A&A Bake & Doubles, Brooklyn
Tumblr media
Been hearing so much great buzz about A&A that I decided they’d be the second restaurant I’d visit as part of my weekly “CBTPB” (“C.B’s Trains, Planes and Boats”) feature here on Eataku, where I make a food excursion using one of those methods of transportation. As much as I would have loved to have hopped a plane to Trinidad & Tobago, I ended up taking the A train out to Nostrand Ave. in Brooklyn instead...
Tumblr media
I’ve been to Trinidad & Tobago twice and fell in love with the country. Traveled there for work originally, where, unknown to many, they actually have a small but active comic scene, and visited the second time for a personal vacation, where we explored the local culinary and cooking scenes. We still use a lot of ingredients and recipes we acquired and learned about on that trip, but are always on the look out for good Trini restaurants. And now we’ve found a winner!
We went to A&A for their famous doubles, which arre two pieces of fried dough stuffed with curried chickpeas, only to have them sell out while we were in line. Doubles are usually eaten early, so we should have known to get there before noon. So instead we took whatever they had left when we got to the counter, which was a fry bake (fried bread) stuffed with salt fish and house made "spicy” sauce...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And also a roti bake filled with curried shrimp...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both bakes were EXCELLENT! Two of the best bites we’ve eaten this year so far. The texture of each bread perfectly complimenting the fillings, the thinner and crunchier fry working well with the drier fish, with the more pillowy roti standing up well to the sauced shrimp.
We’ll be going back soon to not only have these again, but to try our best and get the doubles we missed by arriving too late. Just have to make sure we make it a morning excursion next time as A&A open at 6:30am!
A&A BAKE & DOUBLES SHOP

Alright, now if Crusader is going to be coming on as a character here it is important to understand at least one of the faiths of this world (As a reminder this a Henotheisticesque world). That being the Church of Trini ... okay, hold on I just realized that there is an actual religion using the name I had in my notes for this. The Church of the Three Formed God.
Now as a brief note before I continue forward. Like with cultures, none of the faiths within this setting are meant to be representative of real belief systems but they do draw inspiration from them. In this particular case references to trinity and gods physically incarnating will likely draw you to think of Christianity but their doctrines and practices are not meant to match theirs presently or within the era this emulates. Their involvement within crusades, however, are meant to be express perspectives on the actual crusades though.
The Three-Formed God (TFG) draws his name from the fact that three times in history he chose to physically incarnate as a living person within the world. Each form had been human and each had been male, however beyond that they lived quite different lives. While members of the Church, in theory, recognize each incarnation as an aspect of their God and revere each, the differing denominations of the church primarily devoted themselves to the dogma of one particular form. Benedictines, Jagwellian/Jaegars, and Valentinian/Valentines
Benedict the Savior was TFGs first incarnation within the world. In the earliest versions of the church doctrine had been set based only around his own teachings, yet he did speak of incarnating again. Benedict was a healer who came to the people of Dress-Livonia amid a horrific plague. It was through his godly healing that the people were saved and the Three-Formed God revealed himself to the world.
Benedict taught self-sacrifice and to care for others. The greatest of virtues are mercy and healing. Thus the faithful are taught to aid the sick and needy in whatever ways they can. A devotion of charity. Healers, be they magical or natural, are revered by Benedictines. Their temples often double as small hospitals for the needy. They do not view healing as necessarily being about just the physical. Healing can be towards the mind. It can also mean providing food or shelter to those that need it.
Jagwell the Warrior came second, 300 years later in lands now known as the Jaegar States. He came at a time when many of the faithful faced heavy persecution. Their emphasis on helping others was often extended to pacifism. In many lands where the faith had spread, they were controlled through violence. Jagwell put an end to this by leading his followers to fight for their faith and for justice.
He taught to stand for what is right and to oppose oppression at every step. Faith is a force to drive one towards action. In his own lifetime Jaegar acted to see the faithful liberated. In the time since his passing things have changed. Now Jaegars often lead crusades to spread the faith of the Three-Formed God elsewhere, battling those who follow faiths beyond their own. Whether this is something Jagwell would approve of or a bastardization of his teachings is something that has been argued heavily by scholars ever since. Regardless, a number of crusading orders exist to carry on his teachings. Their temples often double as training and mustering grounds.
Valentin the Philospher was the final incarnation to date. His appearance was roughly 320 years after Jagwell. This time he incarnated into the land of Esparda during a period without major crisis. Valentin was a philosopher and scholar. With no looming dangers to preoccupy him, Valentin spent his time exploring and studying the natural world. Many great theories of science were only introduced to Esparda by Valentine's work and much territory was mapped directly by him.
Valentinian dogma is based on following the path set by the man. They revere men of science that study the world around them and any who introduce new knowledge into their sphere. Their churches contain laboratories and often lecture halls. Many explorers have set off for new lands in Valentin's name.
Scholars suggest that each form was an exploration into an aspect of being humans. This is used to explain the differences within their teachings. The vast majority of the faithful agree that all three were incarnations of their god ... however there are those who recognize other incarnations as well. While not universally accepted there are a number of small denominations that recognize an additional incarnation among them. The most well known of these are those that revere Edel the Inquisitor, a heretical movement within the central Jaegar states.
While the primary denominations focus their dogma on that of a single incarnation it is not uncommon for two to overlap. Benedictine and Jagwellian tradition gives birth to knights orders that emphasize charity such as the Knight Hospitallers of real history. The union of Benedictine and Valentinian has led to advanced (for their time) medical institutes that study new ways of healing the body and soul. Finally when Jagwellian and Valentinian come together you get conquistadors, a group that has been gaining great traction within Esparda itself.

Prepare For Trouble
Tommy and Kat have a plan to finally catch Jason's Pikachu!
-----------
Jason, Billy, Trini, Zack and Kim had just sat down to eat when familiar theme music echoed tthrough the clearing.
Jason sighed as he stared hungrily at his food. "Of course they'd show up now."
"Prepare for trouble!" Kat announced.
"Make it double!" Tommy answered.
"Can't this wait until after lunch?" Kim asked.
"To protect the world from devastation!" Kat continued.
"To unite all peoples within our nation!" Tommy echoed.
"Statistically speaking, Team Rocket does have an eighty percent chance of showing up at the most inconvenient time," Billy pointed out.
"Only eighty? Feels higher," Trini commented.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Mm mmhm hmm!" Zach took a drink of water to clear his full mouth. "You said it Trini."
"Kat!"
"Tommy!"
"Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light!" Kat posed so her arm and leg took the shape of an "R".
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight, fight!" Tommy completed the pose with his back against hers. Solidifying the "R's" spine.
"Purrsian! That's right!" Saba finished holding up Jason's Pikachu in front of them.
"Pika!" He called from inside the electricity proof glass bubble.
"Hey!" Jason's head turned from Team Rocket to the empty space where his Pikachu was eating his food and back again. He shot to his feet, hand scrambling for a PokeBall. "Give him back!"
"Aaaand that's all the time we have folks!" Tommy called down from their hot air balloon. "See you next week!"
"Venasaur use razor leaf!" Billy shouted. "Wouldn't it be easier to just catch a wild Pikachu like a normal person?"
"Pidgeot gust!" Tommy countered.
"Where's the fun in that?" Kat asked.
"Besides, our boss is obsessed with this Pikachu," Saba added, tapping the glass cage with his paw.
Before the rest of them could attack Tommy directed his Pidgeot to blow them quickly away.
"Pikachu!" Jason called out dramatically as Team Rocket became a speck in the distance.
"Oh boy." Billy pulled out his Pokedex and started disassembling it for the fifth time. At least he knew what he was doing now.
"Uh, Billy? What you up to dude?" Zach asked.
"If I can combine the Pokedex's scanning capabilities with Pikachu's unique waveform stored in his PokeBall I should be able to triangulate their geographical location."
"... Come again?" Kim asked.
"He's making a Pikachu tracker," Trini explained.
"Ohhh," they all chorused.
Meanwhile, at Team Rocket's "evil" makeshift campsite:
"Genius using our motto as a distraction while Saba snuck up behind them Kat," Tommy praised with his head in her lap.
"I know." Kat gave him a teasing grin as she brushed a knot out of his hair.
"Ow!"
Saba rolled his eyes in exasperated fondness at his humans before turning back to their 'guest'. "Why hasn't your human given you a name besides 'Pikachu'?"
"Pikachu pika Pikachu!" Pikachu huffed, crossing his little arms and turning his nose up at the Purrsian.
"Alright, fair enough," Saba conceded, throwing his paws up in surrender.
"What'd he say?" asked Tommy.
"He said 'Pikachu's name is Pikachu' which is honestly very Pikachu of him."
Pikachu's ears twitched but he didn't open his eyes.
Kat chuckled. There were times Saba forgot to explain certain subtleties of the Pokemon lexicon. "Sounds like Jason just got lazy."
"Pi-pika! Pikachu!"
"Well that's not very nice," Saba admonished.
"What's that rodent saying about my wife?" Tommy made to stand but Kat pushed him back down.
"He can say whatever he likes from inside that globe."
"Piii! Kaaaa! Chuuuuuu!" Lightning flashed bright enough to give Saba afterimages but not a spark escaped. The effort leaving Pikachu winded.
"So!" Saba started once Pikachu got his breath back. "How do you feel about unions?"
Pikachu tilted his head. "Pi-ka?"
----------
Tommy was woken up by the loss of circulation in his wrists. "Wha...?" he looked up. "Oh no."
"Oh yes!" Jason grinned, wearing an imitation Team Rocket uniform.
"Please, this is embarrassing for everyone!" Kat said, tied up next to Tommy.
"Prepare for trouble!" Jason ignored them pressing play on the theme song.
"And make it double double!" Zack backflipped into view.
"To protect the world from devastation!" Trini posed.
"To ignite all peoples within our nation!" Kim mirrored her.
"This is just insulting," Saba hissed, hogtied.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" Billy continued.
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jason!"
"Zack!"
"Trini!"
"Kim!"
"And Billy! That's right!"
"Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light!" Zack grabbed Kim and hoisted her up like they practiced.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight all of us!" Trini demanded.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu finished.
"Man, that was fun!" Zack grinned.
"Yeah, now I know why they say that dumb stuff all the time!"
"First of all," Tommy gritted his teeth. "It's 'unite all people within our nation' not ignite."
"If you're going to mock us you might as well get it right!" Kat snapped, trying to look imposing despite being tied up.
"Oh don't worry," a mischievous glint came into Jason's eye. "There's one catchphrase we left all for you."
"W-why do I get the feeling we're not going to like this?" Saba asked.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!"
Several thousand volts of electricity launched Team Rocket into the sky. Their bindings burning off and trailing smoke from the explosion.
Tommy crossed his arms. "In hindsight, we definitely could've parked further away."
Kat sighed. "Boys, I think it's time we went freelance."
"Boss finally get to ya?" Saba smirked.
"She wants that Pikachu so bad she can come down here and get it herself!"
"What about the name?" Tommy pouted. "It's trademarked."
"Since when has that stopped us?"
"I like this idea!" Saba agreed.
Tommy nodded. "It'll make her positively furious! On three?"
"You know I don't like countdowns."
Grinning, Tommy hugged Kat and Saba as they became a point of light in the sky.
"Team Rocket's blasting off agaiiiiiiin!"
-----------
"Hey, Kim? What's Pikachu doing with the other Pokemon?" Jason asked as he set down their food.
"Hmm? Dunno. They've been at it all morning. Aipom came a while ago and grabbed a bunch of markers."
"Hey guys! Breakfast!" Zack called to them.
The Pokemon turned to look at their trainers before scrambling hurriedly. Lifting up signs that had a simple drawing of a food pellet crossed out. Others looked like they had PokeBalls on them.
"Pika pi!" Pikachu came marching at the front. Kinda dwarfed by Zack's Steelix and Trini's Charizard. Climbing onto Jason's Blastoise he went on a short speech which the other Pokemon cheered.
Jason blinked. "Uhhhh, what?"
"It appears our Pokemon have gained worker consciousness and are now attempting to renegotiate the particulars of their social contract with us," Billy observed.
Jason looked at him for a moment before turning to Trini.
"They formed a union."
"What!?" Kim, Jason and Zack exclaimed at once.
"Pi!" Pikachu pointed at Trini and nodded.
"Uh, well..." Jason looked at his Pokemon. Eyes landing on the crossed out PokeBall. "We can't have all of you out of your PokeBalls all the time."
"Pika pi!" Pikachu shook his head and gestured at Kim's Eevee. Who dashed into her bag.
"Hey! C'mon you know I don't like you rummaging through my stuff."
Eevee popped her head out with Kim's planner in her mouth.
"A planner? You mean like a rotating schedule for PokeBall time?" Jason asked.
"Pika!" Pikachu grinned.
Jason looked at his friends and at the signs. Some of which had things that weren't as obvious as the others.
"Well you know what they say about keeping your Pokemon happy," Kim shrugged.
"And it's not like the towns we've passed have been stingy with their communal Pokemon resources," Trini added.
"Yeah, dude! They're part of our team too!" Zack said.
"If they're asking then it's best to listen," Billy agreed.
"Alright, alright," Jason smiled, turning to Pikachu. "It might take a while considering Saba is miles from here but we'll hear you out."
Pikachu grinned. "Pika!"

vampires au + MMPR comics Original Six--plus Bulk and Skull?
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
80 bullets!!!!!
Skull was not a great vampire but he’s getting better, at least he stopped fainting when he saw blood and now just drank it
Bulk was turned by accident when Skull panicked and bit him and then fainted from the sight of blood so he didn’t finish draining bulk
Kim spends most of her time as a bat sitting in her friends pockets
Tommy can turn into many animals but can’t really get the faces right so whenever the gang sees a fucked up animal they have to double check it’s not Tommy even when Tommy is standing right next to them
Tommy has been hit by cars multiple times because vampires can’t be seen in rear view mirrors
Trini likes to keep stuff from their human victims just for funnsies
Bulk did not handle see the amount of corpses in the basement of the Coven house well.
Zordon is the vampire who turned everyone except Tommy who was biten by Rita
Zordon is over 3000 years old and lives in a stone coffin in the basement where they keep the corpses so Bulk and Skull don’t see him much
they both faint the first three times they see him
Trini has tried to do things to make blood more exciting because eating the same meal every day can be morning and now she bulk and skull tend to eat their blood as pop cycles
Tommy is the youngest vampire and died in 1993 when Rita turned him and has been stuck as a 14 year old since
Everyone else got to be at least 18 when they were turned so they like to make fun of Tommy perpetually being an 8th grader.
Kim has been taken out with an electronic fly swatted so many times since she spend most of her time as a bat and there’s a lot of flies since they don’t remove the corpses as often as they probably should.
Billy is the most tech savvy but in the funniest way since he know everything about the latest tech from the industrial revolution. “What do mean they don’t use children to do that type of factory work anymore?”
Zach likes to hold birthday parties for everyone but also low key it’s becoming a fire hazard to celebrate zordon’s birthday because that’s so many candles
They are all regarded as zordon’s kids and other local vampires think he needs to calm down with the number of kids he has
Tommy mainly feeds on pedophiles be a they are surprisingly easy to find online and tends to bring others along if he thinks they’ll be more than one
Bulk once tried to eat a sandwich after being turned and basically spent the rest of the night getting sick and drinking blood bags
Zack hates to say it but he firmly believes there’s no real taste difference between virgin blood and non virgin blood, he thinks it’s just everyone being picky
Because none of them can use mirrors they are completely dependent on each other for knowing how they look unless the they put on make up which normally looks terrifying in the mirror because their reflections don’t have eyes
Zordon is look at like that one PTA mom who has way to many kids and most people think Rita is Zordon’s ex wife which the kids like to encourage because it’s not really like zordon ever comes out of the stone coffin long enough to deny it
the neighborhood they live in is actually incredibly safe and pleasant to live in because they keep eating the jerks and creeps
most of their human neighbors think they are either a cult or a weird group sex thing or a combination of both.
Tommy's 'job' as he likes to put it is looting the corpses of his victims and selling their stuff online
Kim loves the youtube channel is "ghosts doing chores" she's never met them in person but she thinks the computer work they do to edit themselves out of the videos are amazing. (little does she know neither Z, Syd nor Jack have any editing sills what so ever)
trini and kim do each other's makeup and also all of the others if the need arises but considering now whenever bulk sees his reflection he jumps and also skull faints at the slight of not have eyes they don't do it much for those two
Tommy has an adult sized coffin despite still not being done growing when he turned so his bed is extra roomy to him
Tommy panicked when he found another vampire that was feeding on kids so he turned the kids to try and stop the vampire from killing them but now he is responsible for three fifth graders.
Kim, Bulk, and Trini called dibs on being Kira’s “parents” at the same time. And trying to make a comprise they come up with possibly the worst way to decide which one of them Kira is calling mom at a given time.
Tommy, Zach, Kim, and Connor came up with the system where every date where the month/day/year add up to an even number kim is mom and every date where they add to an odd number Trini is mom. Everyone except billy now hesitates when they try to ask Kira about her moms as a result because they need to remember the date and do mental math.
Kira just calls everyone by their first names, they aren’t her real parents and she wants to go home which makes Kim sad but like they get it.
Zordon takes a while to realize he now has more kids in his house. Zach introduces them as Tommy’s pet humans and Zordon just kinda excepts it because Tommy’s chaotic enough that he could definitely convince three 11 year olds to be his pets. Zordon was some how more unhappy with there being more vampires than about three unannounced pets
Once Tommy was out past the city curfew with Zach and the cops wouldn’t believe they were related so they called trini to come and pick them up from jail who just ate the cops because it was not worth the hassle. Also zack and Tommy’s mug shots were suspicious as hell since you know they didn’t actually show up in the mug shots. Zack snagged the mug shots and brought them home as suvenineers
Jason decided to frame the mugshots over the family didn't table since it's not like they really have any family photos
When zordon puts any of them in time out he makes them turn into bats and then keeps them in bird cages until they are ready to act their age.
no one is ever ready to act their age but also the bird cage keeps getting knocked over and they just escape when it does
Zack , bulk, and skull looses their shit when they see Connor’s twin brother Eric in public for the first time because it looked like Connor grew like a full foot between that evening when they all woke up and that very moment
They eventually loose Zordon to a tragic sunlight accident when they forget to close the curtains one night and everyone is heart broken
they blame their moron friend Andros who's half vampire so he doesn't instantly die when sunlight hits him
They have the biggest Rock Paper Scissors tournament ever to decide who is “new dad”
Tommy wins the tournament and now everyone has to call him dad despite him looking like a 14 year old
Kim was in second place for new dad while Connor and Kira tied for third
Billy likes to mess with cars and other transportation technology because the wright brothers were hacks who stole his tech!
Everyone has heard billy complain about the Wright brothers numerous times and frankly are kinda over it
Bulk and Skull help Billy build a flying car but unfortunately they can only ride in it was bats because it is too small and Trini points out why don't thy just fly themselves at that point
Tommy sometimes like to do his "dark biddings" online and buy furniture on Craig's list to replace the stuff everyone is regularly breaking
Bulk once turned most of the way into a bat but not his head and had trouble turning back so he just kind of dragged his head everywhere for like three days
Skull found out he had a kid right before he got turned and now that kid is almost physically the same age as him and in a moment of panic turns spike because he can't have his son being older than him
Spike find it weird and creepy everyone calls an 8th grader "new dad" in the coven but Tommy tells him he can call him granddad if he likes
because of the sheer number of people living in their home lots of them share rooms and have bunk coffins
Spike is not prepared to have the top bunk and falls down getting out a lot and skull has to teach him how to fly before most other vampire things
Bulk holds spikes hair when he gets sick from trying to eat regular food and also seeing the basement full of corpses as well as seeing Connor just straight up mutilating a guy while trying to drink from him but the guy wouldn't stand still.
sometimes they see stuff they lost over the years at museums with night showings and later break in to steal their stuff back and more than a few times they have grabbed the wrong things so they just sell the stuff they don't want
they accidentally stole the Mona Lisa. twice.
sometimes when Kim and Zack don't have anything better to do they make weird costumes from random stuff around the house and invent new cryptids and Urban Myths in the woods near their home and since they have moved around a lot over the years they are responsible for quite a few myths
Kim is actually the lockness monster and big foot
Zack is mothman
they dragged Jason into it once and he is champ
Zack found it hilarious the Loveland frog was another vampire named Adam that he and Kim keep in touch with
They meet a ghost name Demetria and she lives in a shower but her twin is the most dramatic vampire Tommy has ever met
Tommy almost considers getting a vampire Hunter involved Divatox is so annoying and her real name is Dian 
Dementia the shower ghost is the weird grandma to Tommy and skulls kids
they at one point steal the shower she haunts to bring her with them so she isn't so lonely and Divatox is pissed they basically just stole her sister
if nothing else Zack is just impressed they managed to get an entire shower cut out of the wall nozzle and all to bring back to the house
in hindsight Divatox could have also been pissed about them stealing an entire shower out of her house but that wasn't a priority for the family.
a heated debate on weather or not being a vampire was like an MLM scheme nearly rips the family in half mainly because some of them think it's multilevel marketing, some think it's men loving men, and some others think it's Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and Skull thinks it's muslim lives matter
The larger vampire community around them is perfectly aware they are all idiots but have decided it's not their problem
(eyyyy 69!) the kids think it's funny to make fun of some of the older vampires (mostly outside their coven) for dying virgins but also they know the know they can't say anything back because this is a gaggle of children
the others tell Tommy to stop letting his kids be dicks but he is just not interested because he thinks it's funny
trini likes to do online shopping with kim and buy cute hats for when they are both bats
they all have an instagram they share where spike, Bulk, and zack draws kind crappy drawings of the others as bats wearing the hats that they sometimes swipe from kim and trini
Bulk has the most popular drawing on their insta with a stick figure bat skull smiling and wearing a flowery tea hat
they are friends on instagram with the ghosts doing chores youtubers
Skull still has a MySpace because he doesn't really see the difference between the platforms
Billy knows MySpace is out of date but still has one so he can be friends with Skull on it
Bulk and Skull as well as the others do live long enough so see human's start to move to other planets and accediently start a real life version of among us while flying there.
the "imposters" win but they gotta act stupid when people ask what happened which is the one thing this group of people after being being stuck in an enclosed space together for months can do very well
they are genuinely let off scott free on a new human planet because none of the footage of people dying showed them anywhere near the victims
no one wants to comment on the fact they had to do all their killing naked to not leave any visual evidence behind on the ship
