I wanna be tusked into a tap dancer

[bucketspammer4life]

little mac headcanons because hes the silly ever

feeling somewhat fergalicious today

Throws glitter at anyone who pisses him off, he mostly does this to the boxers to annoy them, he first asks what their favorite color is and then proceeds to absolutely blast them with handfuls of glitter, this doesn't really work on Don, Macho, Disco or Hippo as they think the glitter makes them look better.

Has selective mutism, usually speaks in very short sentences or just nods.

Has the worst pollen allergy ever to the point where can't go outside in spring without looking like he's on the verge of death.

Doesn't eat much fruits or vegetables as he has issues with texture except for apples, he likes crunchy food in general.

Sits in the weirdest positions ever, doc likes teasing him about it.

Can do a really good walrus impression, you don't get any context other than that.

Got into boxing after watching one of Doc's boxing matches when he was little, he then got hyperfixated on boxing and the rest is history, his boxing hyperfixation is still going strong.

Very slow eater, will not speed up unless he absolutely has to.

Sometimes does very cringy accents or impressions to piss the other boxers off, their reactions range from rolling their eyes to throwing hands with him.

Likes pokemon cards, actually has a binder full of them and especially likes the shiny ones.

Worst dancer ever.

Has been banned off roblox 30 times, yet he still keeps making alts, ancient egypt roleplay gets the worst out of him.

His first instinct when suprised is to just punch, this has (obviously) gotten him into trouble multiple times.

Happy New Year's Eve to everyone! 😁🎉🍷

I saw the tiktok boys doing this trend in the international break, and the idea stayed with me, and it's fitting rn anyway. If it's lame I will just blame my friends for giving me bad experiences 😸

Rating how a night-out with lfc players would go (this is for the girlies, do mind that):

Virg: You would feel the most safe and relaxed on a night-out in your whole entire life. Virg would literally scare all unwanted comments and wandering hands just with his aura. He would buy you whisky, trying to be fancy, but by the end of the night you would be on your 4th beer together, doing karaoke. He would leave by like 1 am tho. 9/10

Tsimi: he drinks one vodka-redbull and it's over. And by that I mean it's not really over, quite the opposite actually. Not leaving the club until they literally close. He would be bouncing up the walls, dancing with everyone, chatting up to strangers while waiting for drinks, running around, making new best friends every bathroom break, falling in love at least 3 times just that night. A nice, eventful night, but by the end, you would probably be exhausted. 7/10

Joey: Ngl, you would probably be kinda worried about partying with him, thinking he's a bit dull or the atmosphere will be awkward... Only to be completely wrong and for you to have the best night of your life? He takes shots like a champ, smooth dance moves,a great wingman and has the best drunk advice to your drunk first world problems. He also knows the best place to get kebab place after the club and walks you home. 10/10

Ibou: Go out with him and you will have the time of your life. Takes the best pictures and tags you, likes and comments, just to get the guy you like all hot and bothered. Pretends he doesn't understand English and starts cursing out people in French, just because. Outfit on point. -1 point for making your stomach hurt from laughing too much. 9/10

Robbo: It's either a heartfelt hug and temple kisses while pouring your heart out kind of night or trying to use the street lamps as a strip pole while laughing like the two of you have lost your minds kind of night. Brings his own alcohol for pre gaming, because "it's much better, trust me." He's never a quiet person, both with each drink he has, the volume of his voice just increases. He tries to guess the dick size of random guys who try to chat you up. You will need 2-3 days to recover from this night, but it's all worth it. 10/10

Darwin: Unlike Kostas, Darwin is NOT allowed to drink redbull-vodkas, not under any circumstances. Instead he drinks literally anything else. He especially likes those colourful cocktails. When they start to hit, he picks up the straws and pretends he is a walrus. Who cares about the language barrier, you can communicate just fine by dancing together. Darwin is a really good dancer, alright, all eyes glued to him. Somehow he gets into a fight and gets thrown out. He claims he is innocent, but who actually knows. There are always other clubs! 8/10

Joel: When you ask him out he just glares at you with raised eyebrows. Still, he shows up, with an unimpressed expression glued to his face all night until they start playing Timberland. Suddenly the coconut man is all arms up and legs moving. He leaves randomly before midnight without telling you tho. 5/10

Trent: The night kinda takes a wrong route before it can even start, when he makes a bet about which one of you can take more shots without stopping. Trent wins, his eyes sparkling and a relaxed, loop-sided smile already plastered on his face. He pays for the taxi and is extremely smug about the girls he claims he will get. Tries to make another bet with you on who can pull the most. Ends up sulking after he gets rejected (nevermind that literally everyone else wants a piece of him). He doesn't dance, just stands like a stick, licking his lips and holding his drink. Starts asking horny questions after 2 am. 8.5/10

Macca: Takes forever to pee, because he starts making friends with everyone in the bathrooms. Brings his own personalized maté cup, but God knows what’s inside. Judging by how red-faced he gets as the night goes on, it must be something strong tho. Good dancer, if only he would stop doing googly eyes at people while he promised it was a friends only night… 6/10 

Domi: The pre-gaming might be more fun than the actual party. Takes forever to get ready, because he keeps talking too much, showing you his favourite songs and offering his grandpa’s pálinka. Puts in way too much hair product. By the time you get to the club, both of you are comfortably drunk. Not the best dancer, but enthusiasm makes up for it.  He starts eyefucking random hot people. It gets annoying by 3 am, when you are ready to go home and sleep and he still has way too much energy. 8/10

Jota: Keeps complaining that he didn’t want to go, then drinks everyone under the table. Like it’s actually annoying how unfazed he seems. Takes good care of you, looking after you, bringing you water, but still, when you are tipsy, dizzy and feels like you are going to throw up, you would rather have him shut up about FIFA for a sec. 6.5/10

Ali: Says he will not drink, because he has stuff to do early in the morning, but still comes and has a great time. Funny, kind and polite, and very good looking, which turns out to be a bit of a problem, after people just won’t stop asking him out. Gives you great advice when you start talking about the guy you like. His dancing is cute, but a bit old fashioned. 8/10

Lithograph reportedly available at D23:

Separate pictures attached below in case the link doesn't work.

There's a lot going on here.

Some familiar characters -- Check out Clawhauser's off-duty look! Yax and Flash (naturally) bringing up the rear! The Hopps family is represented! -- as well as new ones, including a very prominent role to a big, blue snake. (A possible antagonist? Hard to tell with reptiles. Looks like he's smiling, though.)

Is that Finnick in the stroller, wearing a bunny onesie? And holding... uh... we'll just assume that's a carrot-shaped pacifier for now.

Oh! And don't forget the food cart near the top -- what looks like a reference to Bug-Burga, often seen in fanfic but not mentioned in the first movie.

Some closeups follow.

Chief Bogo and what could be a member of the TUSK team (or maybe just a boar in tactical gear).

Looks like there's a chameleon in a Men in Black-style outfit hitching a ride on Bogo's arm. EDIT: wait, I just got it! Chameleons are providing security for the Zootennial parade because they'd be great at covert operations!

There's also a seal, a beaver, a bear on a unicycle... okay, maybe that'll make sense in time.

What looks like:

One of Mr. Big's polar bear bodyguards (Koslov? Kevin? Raymond?)

A lot of wildebeests(?) forming a parade for the "Zootennial"

Gazelle being held aloft by her tiger dancers

The walrus plumber from the diorama

A cat on a motorcycle... huh. Too early to draw conclusions yet, but I'm kind of hoping that's a regular domestic cat, which hasn't been seen in any canonical stuff so far that I'm aware of.

And, of course, Nick and Judy in their new outfits, driving... a hog rod. (I wonder if Nick even has a driver's license -- Judy was driving the cruiser at the end of Zootopia too.)

[tintenfischie]

My own highly specific reasoning for the whole "fairy or walrus at the door" scenario, is that a fairy wouldn't IMMEDIATELY surprise me in that I wouldn't immediately take it as real. If I saw a tiny, winged being I'd probs first be like, "Wow, they've make kids' toys a lot more advanced since Sky Dancers." Even if we're talking a wider scope of fair folk lore, I'm much more likely to think that a LARPer got separated from their group and is in need of directions or something.

Meanwhile, if a walrus showed up at my door, it would likely be one of two actual, real walruses I know, and it would mean something terribly wrong has gone down at the local zoo. This causes immediate and acute surprise and concern.

The fairy can probably take care of itself and navigate the world just fine, whereas the walrus would necessitate calls to multiple municipalities, county authorities would probably get involved, it would be a whole thing. Therefore, in my world, the walrus would elicit a much stronger emotional response altogether, including initial surprise.

[northpoll]

if ur vid isn't on this list or if you just want to share a story abt ur pick, lmk in the tags!!! i want us all to relive the horror as a community

(thumbnails below the cut if your memory is jogged by images rather than names)

[aceghosts]

In the spirit of current memes: W A L R U S be upon ye; Roony/Yori!

Thank you for this! I'm sorry for taking a while to answer these. (Also, I would absolutely find the walrus on more doorstep more terrifying than the fairy. Like how did he get to a third floor walk-up? lol.)

Answered R here.

Whisper: What pet names and compliments do they use?

Rooney calls him "Yori", a shortened version of his name. Yorinobu gets to call them by their first name, which no one else gets to do. Neither are the type to use pet names.

Since neither uses pet names, the pair compliment each other a lot. There isn't a specific compliment that either goes to; it just tends to be what is on the other person's mind. (Although, Rooney and Yorinobu both can be pretty flirty when giving compliments.)

Adorable: What do they find especially endearing?

Yorinobu finds it endearing when Rooney infodumps about model ships. He doesn't get what they're saying, but he loves watching how animated Rooney gets about the topic. Yorinobu also finds it endearing when they smile since Rooney doesn't really smile often. (Rooney has a crippling case of RBF, haha.)

Rooney finds it endearing when he dances. (My headcanon is that neither is a good dancer, but they think the other person is.) They love how he lets go, and they love it when he drags them onto the dance floor, even if they can’t dance. Rooney also finds it endearing when he gives them a smile after waking up. Just kinda melts their heart.

Lust: Favorite Thing About Their Partner?

Physically? Rooney is one of those people who really likes hands. So, his hands. Yorinobu’s favorite part is their ass. If he has to be romantic about it, it is their freckles.

Personality wise? Rooney’s favorite thing is his passion, drive for what he wants to do. (Though, they do wish he would act less impulsively. Maybe take a deep breath or two.) Yorinobu’s favorite thing about Rooney is their strength, not allowing themself to be deterred. (Although, he does wish they would find themself in less dangerous situations.)

Unity: What would their wedding be like?

Overwhelming. Rooney always imagined they would probably have a small wedding if they got married. When you marry the CEO of the Arasaka Corporation, that isn't a possibility.

Yorinobu makes sure that their voice and wants are heard, especially when it comes to planning. Whenever someone, namely Hanako or the wedding planner, tries to take override Rooney, who's already putting up a good fight to get what they want, he steps in. @bbrocklesnar's Gabbi is also probably helping Rooney with wedding planning.

By the time the wedding is almost there, both are strongly contemplating eloping not to deal with it, but the pair end up having a good time.

Sleep: How do they sleep together?

Cuddled up with Rooney usually being the bigger spoon. However, some nights, Rooney tends to have really bad nightmares. On those nights, Rooney might sleep somewhere else not to disturb him.

[Fluff Asks]

[madcaprainbow]

Curse my eternal overwhelming desire to write a Byler longfic where Will is a dancer having to teach Mike to dance.

I have all the knowledge of dance, and rhythm, of a walrus being violently tased so I have no idea how to write someone teaching someone else to dance, unfortunately.

But god the idea just will not leave me alone.

Why do I always come up with fic ideas that involve the characters having specialised knowledge that I do not possess?

My brain hates me.

Oc x Canon Week: Day 2

Emlyn Soairse (Merida Twst) x Riddle Roseheart

"Dancing..."

Riddle was a well-known stickler for the rules and enforcing them the T. Whether it was grammar, school, or the Queen's rules, he knew and followed them all, but he still struggled with one set of rules: social gathering rules. Now for events like the Unbirthday Parties and Tea, that he understood, but at a "party", he found himself more flustered than a hatter without a hat.

He was invited to this gathering by his lab partner for enchanted botany, Emlyn, who was one of the transfers from Thatch Academy for Unique Mages. At first, he was nervous about having one of the kids from the delinquent school as a lab partner, but his fears were unfounded, as Lyn was an amazing partner. She was very nice and had a vast knowledge of magical flowers and herbs that the two often discussed while working together, but it wasn't until she caught Ace and Deuce for him that they really started to bond.

Apparently, she looked out for two freshmen in her dorm as well and faced similar issues with them as Riddle did with Ace and Deuce. They started swapping war stories and became very close in a matter of weeks. He learned that she actually use to be a rule breaker, but after an incident that landed her at Thatch, she swore to become a better person and help others away from the delinquent lifestyle.

Riddle had a great respect for her, and soon that respect turned to something else, something deeper than and stranger than any other connection he had. It wasn't until she invited him to a "party" that Ramshackle was holding that he realized he had fallen for the redhead.

Now here he was, gripping a cup of water and a plate of excellent spinach puffs in the kitchen as he watched Ace and Grim compete against Grace and Epel in pictionary. Apparently, this 'party' was their annual game night at Ramshackle. The dorm of 12 each invited a friend to join and they competed in silly games as teams. They pulled pieces of paper out of a hat to decide what game and who was playing. So far, he had witnessed Cyn and Jack competed in a game called twister with Lucif and Kalim, Nora and Deuce beat Ivy and Ortho in a pie-eating contest, and Third year Hank and Trey play VEE-tenis against Rhea and Jade. The group of people was odd, but it was... fun.

He was so out of it that he hadn't realized his team was pulled out of a hat.

"Hey Riddle, can you dance?" Lyn asked as she held up a piece of paper.

"huh? Yes- Kind of." He answered, "Why?"

"We're playing Just Dance," She said with that gap-toothed smile that made his head feel light.

"Just Dance? What's that?" he asked putting down his snacks as the group packed up pictionary.

"It's pretty simple, you just do the moves the screen tells you while holding the remote." Lyn explained and handed him a remote.

"Riddle is dancing?? This is gonna be fun." Ace remarked as his mood instantly shifted from grumbling to eager.

"My bets of Jezie and Floyd!" Lucif called out with a choir of agreements.

Riddle felt his nerves start to gitter as an oyster in a walrus' house. He reverted to his defult: rules police "Betting is against the-"

"The rules of Heartsyble, not the rules of Ramshackle. Your in our house so our rules," Ivy snapped back and Lyn placed a hand on Riddle's shoulder.

"Ignore them, I bet your a great dancer," Lyn smiled and helped Riddle fix the safety strap onto his wrist.

"Thank you," Riddle muttered as his face started to blush at her touch. He had the love bug bad.

"Alright, enough talkin' more dancing! What song we doin' Jezie!" Floyd called out to his eel cousin.

The very tall Jezabelle navigated the game to the random song selection. Riddle watched the screen nervously as a multitude of songs he didn’t know flashed across the screen till it stopped and the song lit up the screen: "I've Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing .

"Oh, I love that movie," Cyn remarks as Jez and Floyd snicker.

Lyn smiled and saw Riddle's nerves in the form of the blushed on his face.

"Let me guess, you haven't seen Dirty Dancing?" Lyn asked.

Riddle shook his head and fiddled with his sleeves.

Lyn tilted her head for a moment before leaning down and whispering something into his ear. In just a few words, Riddle went from a nervous to determined. He nodded to the smiling Lyn and she called over to the eels, "We're ready when you are."

Floyd and Jez smiled as she pressed play. The characters came up on the screen and Lyn helped Riddle get into place and navigate the screen to the male player.

"Just focus and copy him. Don't pay attention to anyone else. We got this." Lyn said with a smile as she stood next to him.

"Ready?" Jez called and the two nodded.

Riddle was still nervous as a late hare, but he was determined to win. He had to win. He couldn't let Lyn down. She had trusted him to be her teammate so he was going to be the best teammate he could be.

The music started and his person appeared on the screen. At first he struggled to follow the moves as the music started, but once he realized it was a pattern, he got the groove of it. He didn't even realize he was starting to have fun!

"Groovy Hearts! Groooovy!" Someone shouted behind him as he smiled and kept dancing. Lyn has at his side, following the girl and smiling as she followed the lady.

Riddle began to block out the noise, all he heard was the lyrics and all he saw was the screen and Lyn. Her red hair bouncing in their ringlets, freckles like stars as she smiled, she was beautiful in Riddle's eyes. As the music died down, he heard some of the comments:

"FLOYD! Your doing the wrong moves!!"

"What are you doing! There Winning!"

"Ehh- I wanna be the girl! Jezzy lift me!!!"

Before he knew it, Floyd and Jezzy were on the floorrustling around trying to get up.

That is when he realized they were winning. "Come on Rids! We got this!" Lyn commented, a slight accent slipping that she often covered.

Finally, the came to the final pose, he held hands with Lyn, and then the two shuffled back. They were done. On the screen the coupled did an impossible lift, but in the living room of Ramschackle, Lyn ran up to Riddle and captured him in a tight bear hug.

"We Won!!" Lyn cheered.

"W-we did.. WE DID!" Riddle hugged her back. He was smiling and laughing and didn't realize what he was doing till Lyn kissed his cheek.

"Told you we could do it!" She cheered as the group chatted, congratulating the two.

But Riddle didn't hear anything... all he heard was Lyn's whisper as he stood in shock:

"Just follow the rules and you'll be okay. And If we win this, we can watch the movie together, just the two of us. As a date... so dance with me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is day 2 of the @theocxcanonweek !

I know I am very late to the game, but I want to complete what I started! So expect more from these challenges and please like and reblog!!

[internet-horror-bracket]

Since someone mentioned it in the tags, I wanted to say that when I reference barbie.avi in the posts, I just mean the written story. Horror has a history of a lot of ableism, and I did my best to avoid any of that or anything relating to real people (hence why You Will Never Be A Dancer and Obey The Walrus weren't added).

I guess I underestimated how intrinsically linked the video was with the story. Not completely sure why, but I thought it was that the story was written first then someone added an unrelated video later that it became associated with.

“Pipe Organ Owl Mansion” — Jeremy Radin

This is the year you begin. The year you unbutton the pinstripe disease. This is the year you turn around in the woods, walk away from the grinding coyotes. This is the year of the car crash stilettos. This is the year of the hallelujah ball gown. The diamond spill. The party dress.

This is the year you begin. Unlearn the dead language of mirrors. Whale hips. Walrus thighs. These plump fictions, gasping like fish in a freezer. This is the year you swallow the airplanes, the spring geese, the mayfly soiree. Fly hard toward the new water. Bathing-suited. Draped in sun blush and boy whistles.

This is the year you begin. Slip into the sweet mud. Get dirty. Stay dirty. There is nothing to forgive. This is the year you begin. You will lose no more fingers to the gullet demons. Surrender no longer to your smart Jewish moods, your insistent bathwater quiet. You will rage with birdsong. Be a nation of hysterical kookaburras. Be a pipe organ owl mansion.

This is the year you begin. You will bust through this bright Funfetti sadness. You will upside-down avalanche. Shake in the footlights like an unhinged priestess. Walk with mistletoe strung from your eyelashes. Look into every mirror you can find. Dance with our mother in the gowns of free women. Open the sensational hell in your belly. Let us in. The world is ready to fall in love with you.

This is the year you begin. You will romance with elegance and steady grace. You will feast and adore yourself for feasting. You deserve the feast. You deserve the feast.

This is the year you begin. More beautiful than the honey-tendril debutantes, the whip willow dancers, the lingerie beasts, the switchblade sisters. More beautiful than the shiny thing that hangs on the front of the Torah and all the shame that squats and snarls behind it. More beautiful than the art of accurate suffering. More beautiful than fear. More beautiful than mama’s absence, papa’s solitude, my impatience, the body you yearn for. The perfect smoke, the shape of the smoke, more beautiful than death. You are more beautiful than death.

ICYMI BOOK REVIEW: #TheStoneStories series by #MandyHaggith. Three volumes looking at Stone Age life in Britain. Lovely eco-fiction.

[ilopisara]

21.11. 20:26 | Ilo Pisara vs Tuhkaluukun miehet 3 - 1

Alright, listen up you bunch of half-melted ice sculptures! Ilo Pisara just scraped by with a 3-1 victory against Tuhkaluukun miehet. And don't let the score fool you; we were about as coordinated as a walrus on roller skates! Teppo Winnipeg – oh, our "Puck Moving Defenseman" – might have moved pucks alright, but with zero goals and shots barely hitting more than one-third on net? C'mon! His defense rating is passable like gas after a bean feast, so thank goodness his offense wasn’t totally abysmal. The man did rack up two assists though; guess he's not completely useless. And then there’s Yuri Tarde. An "Offensive Defenseman," huh? More like offensive to my senses with those 12 giveaways! But I'll give credit where it's due: that game-winning goal was prettier than a Zamboni at sunrise. Jani Saari... buddy... two goals is solid work in anyone’s book. But only one takeaway? You’re meant to be swiping more pucks than candy from a baby! Though, looking back historically, it seems we've been dancing between triumphs and tragedies like some deranged tango dancer. I expect all of you to sharpen up or next practice will feel like an audition for 'Dancing On Ice'—and not as the celebrities! Future implications are clear: play better or start practicing your figure skating routines because this circus can't afford any more clowns. Keep winning or find yourselves replaced by traffic cones—they might lack mobility but they're far less disappointing come game night!

Please excuse how dogshit I am at art, this is my first time sketching these freaks

I’m really loving the idea of this AU actually.. I think I might start it. Btw all of the crew is assigned an animal/zoo job (Goodsir works with gorillas, monkeys and apes <3)

Francis’ specialty was in marine mammals, but now he’s been relegated to a manager type position, which he hates. Sometimes he manages to visit his buddy Neptune the walrus. One time he loses a bet to Blanky and has to wear Steve Irwin short-shorts. Fitzjames, who has a leadership role but mostly works with the aviary, is very distracted by this 😳 made hotter by the fact the Francis hates him 😳😳

Oh and at one point there’s a costume party. Sir John, Zoo Owner, dresses as a penguin. Ed Little dresses as a tiger, Jopson wears bunny ears (he’s an assistant what can you do) and Collins has a scuba suit complete with decorative fish. James dresses as a Brazilian feather dancer, much to Francis’ horror 😏

also Tunbaaq is a thing but I won’t spoil that part yet :)

I have so many ideas I barely know where to start ‼️‼️‼️‼️

would people be interested in reading a fitzier AU where both crozier and fitzjames are zookeepers?? what are we feeling, terror nation

can we accept Neptune as a friendly walrus and imagine jfj getting flustered over Crozier in a wetsuit. Are we as a society ready for that
