5 years of the PokémonJesus

Before the night comes to a close, I would like to personally reflect on today’s importance (thus the reason for the Takeover queue). It’s been 5 years since I officially became engaged with this fandom that has really became a weekly routine of mine when new episodes come out. This is really just to put my thoughts out there in the blog archive, so I would prefer if no one reblogs this. P J’s beginnings started all the way back with Serebii Forums...

2013-2014 (The Pokémon forums Era)

I have been lurking in the fandom as early as the Best Wishes days, and often visit sites like Serebii Forums or tumblr’s Pokémon anime tags around 2011. I usually talk Pokémon online when it comes to the games when battling or trading in certain chat rooms (was really active during the Gen. IV era of games), but never really talked about the anime with. I have been a spectator to the discussion while the BW saga was rolling a long, then I decided on September 26th 2013 (which was the airdate for the final BW! episode in Japan) to create a serebiiforums account under the username PokemonJesus123, just in time for the start of the XY series which I was mad hyped about! I WAS A FAN SINCE DAY 1...some y’all just tagged along in XY&Z NO LOYALTY xD . My serebii profile is still there actually, so you can try to find my old inactive page if you want lol (my avatar was me holding up my 3DS in a cringey way...looking back why tf did I take that photo lol delete later). Coming into 2014, I joined tumblr as well under the url name you see right before you. Never changed it, and probably never will. The origin of this name you ask? You’ll just have to ask me personally for that story 😉 I absolutely joined tumblr out of pure boredom to view and follow blogs I was a fan of. I had no intention of posting whatsoever. Oh, and I made a Twitter account under the P J name too! Follow ME :^)

2014-2015 (Thursday LIVE! tumblr era)

After a couple months of finally creating a tumblr account and actively posting on serebiiforums and bulbagarden, XY episode 50 (the episode where big lips Nini/Nene debuted) was the first EVER Pokémon anime episode I ever posted about in my blog. I was still new the #pokeani tag (funny story, I didn’t really knew what it meant back then besides to tag it lol), but I got as much as around 30-100 notes. Seeing those notes already got excited that it pushed me from making it a weekly thing since I had a livestream to watch it every Thursday night and screen-cap it. My goal from the very beginning was to try to be the first one to post about here, like what the Japanese fans do on Twitter under the #Anipoke tag. Of course, most of my notes came from either an AmourShipping post or a Serena post. I’m not going to lie, I was really a huge Serena fan when the series first started. I rambled a lot too getting hyped for Citron/Clemont episodes because he was probably my favorite character at the time xD

2015-2016 (A growing blog)

This was the era I started to do special long posts in celebration with Pokémon’s 20th anniversary. Around this period is where my blog was in a developing state getting like 2 or 3 followers every week. And trust me, there were A LOT of posts that I regret posting, but I learned to watch my words every week and say the right things (I really try not to trigger anyone here). I took a couple of weeks off when new episodes aired since I was really busy with college, or I wasn’t into XY filler episodes that much. Would usually tune in live when Team Flare was involved or anything with Squishy/Puni-chan (I absolutely ADORED Bonnie/Eureka in this arc), but I didn’t post that much on tumblr...unless if there was like an AmourShipping moment that happened xD. The hype for Gen. VII was already looming, and I kinda got bored from the anime A BIT. When Ash-Greninja came into the picture however, I got excited again! Then the Kalos League happened, and the anticipation of Ash’s journey hit a climax! We all know what happened, and the rest was history...

2016-2017 (GIFmaking era)

So the Sun & Moon anime happened late 2016, and the hype for a new series was within me again! This is when my blog REALLY started to boom, as well as the birth of my Pokémon Discord server PokéTōku. My notes were higher than over compared to what I posted from XY. One possible reason is that a lot of pokeani bloggers from back then weren’t really interested in Sun & Moon (probably because of the animation change), so I was one of few who still stayed for the ride and that really benefited my blog’s exposure. I absolutely loved Lillie’s character development, and I also did not expect myself to enjoy Lana/Suiren’s character so much! Brock & Misty’s was a huge highlight for me as well seeing my childhood come to a modern-day Pokémon series. I was surprised to have popular people reblog my stuff that destroys my notifications per second. I was even flattered when popular pokéblogs such as shelgon, corsolanite, chasekip, and a few others followed me. Back then I really wanted to get a lot of notes, but at this point I just wanted to be myself and post screen-caps that I feel like talking about. The series also motivated me to start making GIFs since I finally had access to Adobe Photoshop through my university’s application benefits. Later in 2017, I graduated from college and it gave me more time to improving my blog. Also, can you believe it took me 3 years to get 1,000 followers? If you asked me from day 1, I would have never expected to get that much since I had no idea about tumblr’s audience.

Everyone here knows that my blog doesn’t really follow “traditional” tumblr methods such as tags or making specific posts and what not (since I’m not really that into the tumblr culture lol...I’m just here for fun doing my own thing), but I hope I’ve brought something different to your dash experience 🙃

2017-2018 (Making friends)

From 1,000 to 2,500+ followers the next year. You’d be surprise how small that still is compared to the other popular Pokéblogs that joined tumblr later than me, but I’m still grateful for that number. My hype for movie 20 was crazy! I’d always make a post about it when a new trailer was out. But just like Sun & Moon, not everyone was looking forward to the AU it produced. The Let’s Go games shared the same fate as well since everyone didn’t want another Kanto, but I always defend the things that deserve a chance! I fairly enjoyed movie 20 though, and was the first movie that I posted screen-caps and GIFs for in this blog, even made an experience post about it watching it in the theaters! What’s MOST important to me during this time was actually interacting with some of my followers...or should I say friends now :) Out of the 5 years I’ve been here (not counting serebiiforum peeps I’ve known since 2013), I only recently talked to some of you around 2017. My interactions with people here have been awesome (for the most part at least lol) from sharing interests, geeking out over the anime, sending memes xD and concerns when P J isn’t feeling P J. You know who you are, and THANK YOU for cheering your boy up in times when I needed it despite not telling you about it <3 Going back to PokéAni hype, my next excitement attack was when they announced the Aether Foundation and Ultra Beasts were getting involved in the main story. It really makes up for no Alola movie...but hey we still got 1 year left, so maybe there’s hope?

Despite the brief breaks I took, P J’s activeness in the fandom has reached its highest when I managed the time to do scheduled posts and even started a few mini-blog series this year. Even during stressful times, I always make it an effort to find time and contribute to the fandom. I honestly don’t care if I get any asks because I know who the real homies are ◉‿◉つ A special shoutout as well to all the people that joined my Discord server through this website. I couldn’t have reached 100+ members without some of your blogs ^_^ And to the lurkers out there (I know some of y’all are creepin’ in the shadows of my blog without liking anything), you may not know it but I love you people too ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

Anyway this is just a summary of my journey here so far, and if you’d to hear a more in-depth story on some toxic things I’ve experienced in this fandom just message me. I personally don’t like venting out stuff in public because it just promotes more negativity, and I’m not about that. I will make a separate post on my feelings toward the schedule change maybe next week, and an appreciation post (5th tumblr blogaversary) for my specific followers January 2019. I am still preparing for that because there are so many people (even ones I don’t even talk to) I want to thank ❤ Moving forward into my 6th year, I probably won’t make another post like this anytime soon...but I am very hopeful for the future of the SM series and possible Gen. 8 anime late 2019. I also do plan on making some PokéAni-related stuff in my YouTube channel when the time is right, and have the resources to do projects. Keep your eyes out fam 👀LET’S F’N GO!

#The PokémonJesus reflection #P J's thoughts #PokeAni #Pokemon anime #5 years of being in the PokéAni fandom...what a bumpy ride #TPJ Takeover #END_TAKEOVER...good times and good night! Until next post PEACE ✌️

State of the Wall: 4-6-18

Sorry about the lateness of this one! It’s been a rough last two weeks, filled with personal stuff and massive projects like Event Comics Month. But for now, enjoy the update on what’s going on with the site, upcoming episodes, and other stuff!

List of Upcoming Episodes 4/2 – Power Rangers Turbo vs. Beetleborgs Metallix #1 4/9 – PATREON: Diesel #1 4/16 – PATREON: Teen Titans: “Betrayal” and “Aftershock, Parts 1 and 2” 4/23 – PATREON: The Punisher: Purgatory 4/30 – Comic Book Quickies #8 5/7 – 500th Episode 5/14 – MILLER TIME: Dark Knight III: Master Race #1-2 5/21 – Just Imagine Stan Lee Creating Green Lantern 5/28 – New Guardians #3

As usual, I reserve the right to alter the schedule for any number of reasons, but like before, chances are good that this is all pretty locked-in.

The Road to 500 Well, here we go! The 500th episode is going to be on May 7th. It’s been a hell of a ride and I’m still finalizing plans for stuff to do during the livestream. At the very least there will be games – definitely the finale to Pokémon Omicron (the streams, anyway, we’re reeeaaally far behind on episodes). I’ve considered doing some Jackbox games, I’m writing up some new “Insights” and maybe get some testimonials from people for the whole thing and I’ll pick some good episodes of that and Longbox of the Damned to show off during it. I’m curious to hear if people would prefer it be streamed on youtube or twitch… or, if I can pull it off, both.

Channel Awesome Departure So in case you hadn’t heard, I recently left Channel Awesome. The full statement is available HERE. Not much else to say beyond that other than thanks for your continued support and as a reminder, please do not question or harass anyone who remains on the site – they have their own reasons for doing so and that should be respected.

If you missed it, the Google Doc listing out the specific grievances many former produces have with Channel Awesome’s management can be read HERE.

Video Restoration Progress So in the wake of the loss of the other video hosts, a lot of older videos got lost along the way – not just major stuff like History of Power Rangers, but older trailers, vlogs, miscellaneous videos, etc. I’m happy to report that I’ve begun going through a bunch of older videos and doing minor edits to make them appropriate for youtube and reuploading. It’s not a huge amount so far, but all previous trailers that I’ve made – the old 2009 and 2010 trailers, the Longbox/October trailers of past years, and all past April Fools’ Day videos have been reuploaded, which would include Mobile Suit Gundabridged and the History of Power Rangers episode on the reversioned season of Mighty Morphin’. Next up will likely be a bunch of old movie vlogs. The Southland Tales crossover will also be reuploaded at some point – it just requires more extensive re-editing.

Countdown Re-Edit? On the subject of re-editing, while working on the Final Crisis review I discovered that I actually still have the raw footage for some of the original Countdown videos. I’m curious to know if people would be interested in a bit of a re-edit, at the very least for Part 1 where the video quality of the comic scans isn’t great due to my inexperience with Adobe Premiere at the time. I’d likely also punch things up a bit by removing breaths and tightening the cuts from voiceover to live action.

History of Power Rangers Obviously I’ve fallen behind on the re-edits. Sorry about that, but a loooot of other things have taken priority, namely Event Comics Month. I should also clarify a few points since I get these questions a lot: -Yes, there will be a Ninja Steel History of Power Rangers. The show has not stopped, so neither will History of Power Rangers. The series is not done yet and it’s not out on DVD. I have not watched a single bit of it. No spoilers, please. -No, I will not be doing a History of Power Rangers on the Boom Studios comics. History of Power Rangers is for the TV series only. -Yes, I have seen the Shattered Grid trailer. It’s awesome. You should go check it out, yourselves if you haven’t. -No, there will not be a History of Power Rangers on the livestream tabletop RPG show Power Rangers: Hyperforce. As I said, it’s for TV shows only. While people have said it’s in-continuity, I have not seen any articles or press releases that have stated that. And even then, it is still ongoing and I’m not even sure how I could cover something like that when most of the footage is people sitting in chairs.

It’s entirely possible I’ll change my mind about covering Hyperforce or the like, but for now that’s my policy. Sadly I haven’t watched any of Hyperforce. I only have so much time to consume content and there’s a lot else I’m interested in. I’ll probably get into it eventually, though.

Longbox of the Damned Right now, I AM planning on having a Midsummer’s Nightmare this year for Longbox of the Damned. The current plan, due to everything else going on, is for it to be 4 weekly videos in either June or July and covering a few comics under a specific theme with a different host. That theme will be announced closer to the date (assuming I manage to go through with it). I’m doing such a smaller amount for it this year because of the heavy workload of the storyline, the 10th anniversary, conventions, and basically just everything else going on this year. More details hopefully to come once we’re closer!

Conventions Animinneapolis – I will once again be attending Animinneapolis on May 25-27 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis in Minneapolis, MN! This has become a regular thing for me since it’s local and I hope to see people there! Anime Midwest – I shall once again be going to Anime Midwest on July 6-8 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, IL! This one’s also a regular one for me, but it’s definitely a lot of fun and the area is full of great places to see and eat at and the hotel itself is pretty dang cool! Too Many Games – I’ll be coming back to Too Many Games this year on June 22-24 at the Greater Philadelpha Expo Center in Oaks, PA! I sat out last year but I’ll be back again this time with plenty of copies of the AT4W Movie and the Compilation DVD, so definitely come out and take a look! Power Morphicon – As indicated in the Power Rangers Turbo vs. Beetleborgs Metallix review, I will be returning to Power Morphicon this summer! I was last there in 2010 when I had nothing to really show for it other than some minor name value for having done History of Power Rangers, but this time around I should have a live show and get to hang out with some other Power Rangers-related youtubers. Power Morphicon is on August 17-19 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA! And as a reminder for that one, if you can’t attend to get the exclusive Lord Drakkon figure, you can purchase a non-attending badge and have it shipped to you!

That’s all we’ve got this time around! Thank you all for your patience and continued support!

Yohariko and yukilisa?

Aaa bless you I love these ships so much,, honestly they’re all so good

YOHARIKO–

Drinks all of the coffee?Yoshiko definitely. She’s gotta stay up late for her livestreams and other rituals she has, and Riko would walk into her room to find five empty paper cups of coffee crumpled on the carpet

Brings up adopting a pet?Tbh they both do,, after the whole thing with the dog, they walk into pet shops together to have a look at the dogs, then they find the perfect one and Yoshiko is like “you’re thinking what I’m thinking right??” but it takes Riko a bit of time to get used to the dog

Kills the bugs?Neither of them want to, Riko because she’s frightened of them, Yoshiko because she loves bugs too much to kill them, but then Yoshiko ends up having to with a lot of reluctance

Cooks the meals?Riko. Yoshiko should never be let near a kitchen, and they both know that

Starts getting into holidays way before they should?Both of them, Yoshiko with Halloween, Riko with Christmas. Yoshiko starts prepping for Halloween MONTHS early, and the moment it’s over, the Christmas decorations go up and Yoshiko is complaining about the cruelty of the world. Riko mostly does it to tease her though

Initiates the couple selfies?Yoshi!!! Sometimes she takes REALLY unflattering selfies of them both, but sometimes she does take really cute ones as well! Riko also occasionally takes artsy and good looking selfies!

Forgets the birthdays and anniversaries?Yoshiko is so much of a mess that she forgets what EVERY day is (apart from Halloween.) Riko eventually buys her a calendar and puts it right on Yoshiko’s computer screen so that she’ll never forget important dates again

Always ends up with too much junk food after grocery shopping?Yoshiko, she says she needs the food as energy for her spirit or something,, Riko scolds her, but tbh she enjoys extra snacks as well

Nicknames the other?This is basically canon already!! Yocchan and lily have fed my family, paid my debts, cleared my skin, took away all my problems,, yoshi probably came up with lily first, which lowkey annoyed Riko at first, but then it just became endearing and Riko started using yocchan

YUKILISA–

Drinks all of the coffee?Probably yukina,, Lisa tries to tell her to go to bed earlier instead of working so late every night, and it does work for a while… but it’s a habit that’s hard for her to break

Brings up adopting a pet?YUKINA!!! One day she just offhandedly says that she’d like a cat, and then a week later Lisa has one sitting on their mat and she’s So Happy (tbh yukina liking cats is one of my favourite things about her)

Kills the bugs?Both of them, but they take different approaches.. yukina just casually steps on bugs to kill them, and Lisa squashes them in tissues or drowns them

Cooks the meals?Lisa! It’s canon that yukina loves her cookies, and she gladly lets her do the cooking! Lisa loves cooking as well, and she always tries to bring in new and foreign flavours!!

Starts getting into holidays way before they should?Lisa as well!! Yukina tells her to Calm Down, they should celebrate Christmas when it comes around, but Lisa is always well prepped for Christmas at least a few weeks early and gives presents really early! (They’re super nicely wrapped up as well, yukina sometimes says that’s it’s almost as though she shouldn’t open them)

Initiates the couple selfies?Lisa!!! She especially likes taking pictures when they’re in new outfits or going to different places, or even having breaks during band practice! Yukina isn’t really fond of silly pictures, but she does occasionally let them slide

Forgets the birthdays and anniversaries?Neither of them tbh… they’re both super organised and they’d never forget important dates,, on the other hand, ako might occasionally forget to greet them on their anniversary…

Always ends up with too much junk food after grocery shopping?Yukina lmao, she kinda gets carried away when there’s so much there and Lisa just lets it happen all the time, it’s fun like this, and they always end up sharing anyway

Nicknames the other?I can totally see Lisa giving yukina nicknames all the time when they were kids, and yukina sometimes gave her some as well, of course it all changed when they got older, but Lisa still does it sometimes to cheer yukina up or if they’re just having a good time! The nicknames only increase when they get together as well

#yohariko #yukilisa #ask #I COULD TALK ABOUT THESE FOR AGES

Sweetheart // (Rob Benedict x Reader)

A/N: Hey, my lovely and gorgeous readers! ❤️

Okay, so I've been on a bit of a Thomas Rhett music kick lately and I was listening to a bunch of his songs when I came across one called "Sweetheart". And, for some reason, our adorable Rob Benedict came to my mind. 💕

So yeah, I really like the song and hope you enjoy this piece of writing that it inspired! 😁

NOTE: In the little universe of this one-shot, it's Rob who's the one that wrote this song. 😁 You know, even though in our actual universe it's Thomas Rhett that wrote it. 🙂

Now...

SONG: "Sweetheart" by Thomas Rhett

Like seriously, listen to this song while thinking about Rob and just... Gah! 😍😍😍

Also, this one-shot ended up being somewhere around 4,000 words and I’m not even sorry! 😂

Anyway...

Enjoy! 😘

Supernatural Master-List of FanFiction

"Thank you, Seattle!" Rob exclaimed into the microphone from where he stood on stage at SPN SeaCon with the rest of his bandmates. They had just finished singing 'Eskimo' and had the crowd pretty much pumped up like all the other times they played.

"It's always great to play for you guys, but we're gonna slow things down for this last song." Rob informed the crowd as he picked up his guitar while he and the rest of the Louden Swain guys got ready to play the next song.

"I don't mean to sound biased, but it's one that I think I would probably consider my favorite." Rob continued, smiling slightly. "It's one that I wrote for a very special someone around a year ago on our fifth wedding anniversary. I wish she was here right now so I could sing it to her directly, but she's back in LA with our two daughters. However, I have a feeling she's watching the livestream of this SNS concert. So, Y/N... this is for you."

Rob strummed his guitar as he began to play the song, letting his mind be consumed with all the memories that came along with it.

(A/N: These "memories" are not really in order. Some of them are, but some of them aren't. Whatever, you get it... Probably.)

<><><><><><><><><>

Rob could never forget the first time he had met Y/N.

🎶Sweetheart🎶

"Okay, everyone, we can get started just as one more person gets here." Mike Rohl, the director for the episode they were about to start shooting (4x18 ~ The Monster At the End of This Book) said as he and everyone else sat around a large table for the read-through.

"Where is Y/N?" Misha whispered to Jared, nodding and indicating to an empty chair that stood between him and a new actor they had for the episode. His name was Rob Benedict and he was going to be playing a character by the name of Chuck Shurley.

"She said she might be running late this morning." Jared whispered back. "She has to pick up her dog from the vet. It stayed overnight from a surgery it had yesterday."

"Sorry I'm late, everyone!" Y/N exclaimed as she rushed into the room, making everyone look her way to see her with sunglasses on and a coffee in her hand and her script in the other as she walked over to where her designated place-card was in between Misha and a man she hadn't met before. "Traffic was hell."

"It's alright, Y/N/N. Glad you could finally join us." Jensen said, an amused smile on his face as she watched her sit down between Misha and Rob. "Y/N, I don't believe you've met Rob. Rob, Y/N. Y/N, Rob."

Y/N just rolled her eyes at Jensen's teasing before directing her attention to the curly-haired man that sat beside her, giving him a smile as she removed her sunglasses and set them beside her cup of coffee. "Y/N Y/L/N, otherwise known as Edith Singer."

Rob smiled back at her, shaking her outstretched hand as he ignored the sudden jolt of electricity that seemed to go through his body at the contact. "Rob Benedict."

🎶God could've never made two🎶

Y/N grinned at him, her (E/C) eyes shining brightly as she looked into his dazzling blue orbs while ignoring the knowing looks Jensen was giving Jared.

🎶Nobody quite like you🎶

*****

Rob would never forget the first time he and Y/N woke up together after their third date.

🎶Woke up this morning, to your sleepy smile🎶

Rob stirred awake, his eyes fluttering open before gazing around the unfamiliar room to see clothes scattered carelessly around on the floor.

It suddenly 'clicked' as a sleepy smile spread across his face at the memory of the previous night before he turned his head to look at the woman lying next to him, her eyes barely open as she looked at him with an adorable sleepy smile.

"Morning." She mumbled softly as she scooted closer to him, cuddling into his side as she nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck.

Rob grinned, wrapping his arms around her.

"Morning." He said softly as he placed a kiss on the top of her head, content with just wasting the rest of the morning away with her in his arms.

*****

Rob would definitely never forget when Y/N agreed to spending the rest of her life with him.

🎶I realized I haven't told you in a while🎶

"Where are you taking me?" Y/N giggled as Rob led her along a pier. They had just gotten done filming the Supernatural season five finale (5x22 ~ Swan Song) before Rob had basically dragged Y/N off set and drove her to the pier they were currently walking on.

"To the end of the pier to enjoy the sunset." Rob chuckled as they stopped at the end of the pier to stare out at the ocean, the sun just beginning to set on the horizon. He let go of Y/N's hand before walking around behind her and putting his hands on her shoulders as they stared at the sunset and its beautiful mix of colors of yellow, orange, pink and purple.

"See how the colors seem to mix with each other." Rob stated, his voice barely above a whisper as he spoke softly to Y/N. "Almost as if they were meant to be together."

"Mm." Y/N hummed in agreement, gently nodding her head once as she felt Rob's hands disappear from her shoulders.

"That's why I brought us out here." His voice came from behind her, making her turn around and cover her mouth in shock as she saw Rob down on one knee.

🎶That you're my life, you're my dream🎶

"Y/N Y/L/N, this past year with you has no doubt been the best year of my life." Rob told her, sincerity lacing his tone. "You have shown me what it means to live your life like there's no tomorrow."

"However, I would like for us to spend together the rest of the tomorrows we're able to get." He continued before snapping open the small black velvet box he held in his hand to reveal the vintage diamond engagement ring he had been holding in his possession for the past few months. "Will you marry me?"

🎶You're the reason for every song I sing🎶

Y/N sniffled, nodding her head as a few happy tears escaped the corners of her eyes. "Yes. Definitely, yes."

That adorable smile spread across Rob's face as he slipped the engagement ring onto the ring finger of her outstretched left hand before he stood back up and cradled her face in his hands and kissed her like there really would be no tomorrow.

*****

(A/N: A bit of angst in this next memory!)

Rob would most definitely never forget one of the scariest times in his and Y/N's marriage.

It was after Rob had had his stroke. Y/N was four months pregnant with their second daughter, but had flown all the way to Toronto after Rich had called her and filled her in on everything that had happened.

🎶You're my rock, your my world🎶

"You know it's gonna be okay, right?" Y/N spoke, her voice soft and calming as she gently caressed Rob's hand with the tips of her fingers as he laid in the hospital bed. She gave a Rob reassuring smile. "The doctors said that it may take awhile for you to regain your speech, but that you're definitely gonna be on you're way to a full recovery."

Rob gave her a look as if silently saying "You can't know that for sure."

"Don't give me that look, Mr. Benedict." Y/N told him, grasping his hand in both of hers. "I might not be a doctor, but I am your wife. And I know that you're capable of doing things you think you're not capable of."

🎶Your my always and forever girl🎶

Rob sighed in frustration, leaning his back on the pillow as he wished he could respond with actual words. Y/N had always been so strong even in the toughest situations. And here she was, comforting him when she herself was having to deal with leaving their first daughter back in LA with her grandparents before then flying out to Toronto while being pregnant with their second daughter. She shouldn't be having to put so much stress on herself.

🎶Sweetheart🎶

"Stop thinking too much." Y/N chided him when she saw the far off look on Rob's face, bringing him back to reality. "You're gonna be fine. And before you know it, we're gonna be getting to hold this little munchkin in our arms."

🎶God could've never made two🎶

Rob tried to smile as best he could as Y/N stood from her chair beside the hospital bed before placing his hand against her small baby bump, their daughter giving a strong kick against where Rob now had his hand.

🎶Nobody quite like you🎶

*****

Rob tried not to think too much of that. It was a scary time in their marriage when they weren't really sure what was going to happen with Rob's health. Luckily he made a full recovery and spoke again just a couple weeks before Y/N went into labor and gave birth to their gorgeous second daughter.

Anyway, there were even more memories of his relationship with Y/N that Rob loved to think about. Like how playful she would sometimes got with him on set. You know, when their relationship was still relatively new.

Like the time they were in the middle of filming the Supernatural season five premiere (5x01 ~ Sympathy for the Devil).

🎶Woah, sweetheart

One kiss and I come unglued🎶

"Mmph." Rob made a noise as Y/N pushed him against the side of her trailer, away from prying eyes as she crashed her lips against his.

"Babe." He whispered against her lips. "They're looking for us. We need to get to hair and makeup."

🎶You are the reason, I fall to pieces🎶

"Mm-hm." She hummed against his lips before pulling away slightly and giving him the most devious smirk she could manage. "Isn't this so much more fun, though?"

Rob couldn't help but sigh helplessly as Y/N lips attached to the side of his neck, sucking in a dark purple mark that would definitely be difficult for the makeup artists to coverup.

🎶'Cause you're all that I adore🎶

"You know...." Rob spoke slowly before flipping the two of them around to where he had Y/N pressed up against the side of her trailer, his hands on either side of her head. "If you keep this up, we're gonna have to hide ourselves better so no one will find us as I do everything you're making me want to do to you."

Y/N couldn't help but grin at him, a twinkle in her eyes as Rob leaned in to press their lips together again.

*****

Oh! One of Rob's most favorite memories was the day he and Y/N stood in front of all their friends and family as the two of them vowed to to love each other for the rest of their lives.

🎶You're the one my heart beats for🎶

"Do you, Rob, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do you part?" The minister asked as beside the couple.

Rob smiled, not taking his eyes off Y/N as he slid the wedding band onto her finger.

"I do."

"And Y/N..." The minister continued. "Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do you part?"

Y/N smiled widely, a few happy tears escaping corners of her eyes. She locked her gaze with Rob as she slipped the wedding band on his finger.

"I do."

The minister smiled. "Then, by the power vested in me by the state of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Rob grinned, pulling Y/N closer and wrapping one of his arms around her waist and cupping the side her face with his free hand before leaning in and kissing her with so much passion and love. He tried to pour all the emotions he was feeling in that moment into that kiss.

Y/N responded in kind, sliding her hands to the back of his neck to deepen the kiss.

But as all dramatic, emotion-filled and romantic kisses go, the need for air will become necessary.

🎶And I can't believe you gave your sweet heart to me🎶

When they pulled apart, they leaned their foreheads together.

"I love you, Mrs. Benedict." Bruce whispered to where only Y/N could hear him.

She grinned at him. "I love you, too, Mr. Benedict."

*****

Then there were the times that Rob liked to think about that just involved the two of them, at home and at ease.

🎶Yeah, you're sweet like chocolate🎶

"How much flour was I supposed to put in?" Rob quirked an eyebrow as he looked up from the bowl of ingredients that sat atop the kitchen island of his and Y/N home.

"Two cups." Y/N responded, poking her head into the kitchen from where was in the living room. "Why?"

"Well..." Rob trailed off, his gaze drifting from Y/N to the full bag of flour that was now in the bowl. "The whole bag might've just... slipped?"

"Seriously?" She giggled, coming into the kitchen to inspect the mess Rob had made. "What happened?"

"I was... distracted." He answered, not meeting her gaze as a slight blush spread across his cheeks.

"What distra–" Y/N began to ask, but cut herself off when she remembered Rob could see into the living room from the kitchen. "Robert Patrick Benedict, were you staring at my ass while I cleaned the coffee table?"

"No!" He immediately exclaimed, eyes wide.

Y/N grinned cheekily at him as she bent over the kitchen island, giving him the perfect view of her cleavage. "Am I really that distracting, Robbie?"

Rob gulped, biting his lip as he thought of a way to respond.

🎶Hot like sriracha🎶

"Screw it." He muttered before leaning over, taking ahold of her chin and pressing his lips against hers. "Bedroom, now. Baking can wait."

*****

There was also this one other time Rob couldn't help but think about sometimes.

The time he had come to the Supernatural set to watch Y/N film her death scene. The last scene she would ever shoot as Edith Singer, the daughter of the already dead Bobby Singer.

🎶Yeah, girl you got me right in your back pocket🎶

"Edith, don't do this." Jensen (or Dean) said as he cradled her in his arms, Jared (or Sam) kneeling on the other side of them. It was just the three of them in this scene. No one else. "Please, don't do this to us. We can't lose you, too."

"You boys have... saved me... countless times." Y/N (or Edith) said tearfully, gasping for air. "I'm glad it... was me that... finally got... to save you... It's time for me... to see my Dad again."

That was the last thing Y/N (or Edith) said before the life faded from her eyes, her body going limp.

🎶You're smooth like whiskey, fine like wine🎶

And just a short time later, Rob stood behind Y/N, his arms wrapped around her waist as they stood behind the camera crew as they watched Jared (Sam) and Jensen (Dean) shoot the scene of them burning Y/N's (Edith's) body.

"That was a pretty powerful scene you did awhile ago." Rob whispered in her ear. "You sad it's over?"

🎶I love how you're making my blood sugar rise🎶

"Of course I am." She whispered back. "But, you know, I've got other things to make me happy now as well."

Rob lips curved into a small smile as his hands drifted to Y/N's very slight baby bump, his hands moving to the place where his and Y/N's first child was growing.

🎶Sweetheart🎶

*****

Another memory Rob loved to think about was when he and Y/N were on their honeymoon.

🎶God could've never made two🎶

"You know, I know we're here for our honeymoon, but I wouldn't mind coming back again some other time as well." Y/N stated as she and Rob walked hand-in-hand along the beach's shoreline. "Oh, look!"

🎶Nobody quite like you🎶

Rob smiled in amusement as Y/N let go of his hand and walked quickly ahead of him a few steps, bending down to pick up a hermit crab.

"Look at him, he's adorable!" Y/N grinned as she let the small creature crawl across the palms of her hands.

"S'pose he's not too bad." Rob commented, walking up to his new wife as she held the hermit crab. "Should we name him?"

"Let's name him Richard Speight III." Y/N gasped excitedly, Rob throwing his head back in laughter at her suggestion.

🎶Woah, sweetheart

One kiss and I come unglued🎶

"I'm not sure how Rich would feel about that." Rob chuckled.

"Do you really care?" She quirked an eyebrow, smirking up at her new husband.

🎶You are the reason, I fall to pieces🎶

"Not a damn bit." He said, capturing her lips with his before pulling away and looking down at the hermit crab Y/N held in between them. "Let's take a picture and send it to Rich."

Y/N grinned at him.

"You read my mind."

*****

Another memory Rob would never forget was one that could only compete with two other of his memories.

The day his and Y/N's first daughter was born.

🎶'Cause you're all that I adore🎶

"Hello, beautiful." Y/N whispered, gently caressing her and Rob's infant daughter's cheek with her thumb.

"Welcome to the world, Sophia Elizabeth Benedict." Rob spoke softly as he sat on the side of the bed, peering over Y/N's shoulder as they stared down at the tiny human they had created. "How much do you think Sebastian is going to love that her initials spell out 'Seb'?"

🎶You're the one my heart beats for🎶

"Like that man needs another boost to his ego." Y/N rolled her eyes before just giggling softly.

🎶And I can't believe you gave your sweet heart to me🎶

Rob chuckled, kissing her on the temple before just resting his chin on the top of her head. "I love you so damn much."

*****

Even the memories of the times Rob would find himself alone at home when Y/N was away filming were memories he didn't mind thinking about.

'Cause even when she wasn't there with him, she always somehow found a way to make him smile.

🎶When the world gets cold

On those sleepless nights🎶

"Saw these and thought you'd like them. See you when I get back home this weekend." Was scrawled across a small piece of paper in Y/N's handwriting.

Rob smiled as he looked from the note to an open box of a brand new pair of jet black Converse sneakers that sat on top of his and Y/N king-sized bed.

🎶Oh, girl you should know that you will always be mine🎶

"How'd I get so lucky?" Rob found himself asking to no one in particular as he stood alone in their empty master bedroom.

*****

One memory that made Rob smile was when he and Y/N had been up in Vancouver for the filming of season five episode nine (5x09 ~ The Real Ghostbusters). Y/N's character (Edith) wasn't in the episode, but Y/N had decided to come up to Vancouver with Rob anyway and watch him film.

🎶Sweetheart🎶

“Wow, really?” Rob (or Chuck) asked Jared (or Sam) as they stood there with Emily (or Becky).

“No..” He said. “‘Cause we have guns, and we’ll find you.”

🎶God could've never made two🎶

“Right, okay.” Rob (or Chuck) nodded quickly, making Y/N giggle quietly from where she stood behind Brad, one of the camera men.

🎶Nobody quite like you🎶

“And cut!” The director called out, letting everyone break character. “Everyone, take ten and then we’ll head back inside for the bar scene.”

🎶Woah, sweetheart

One kiss and I come unglued🎶

“Getting bored?” Rob enquired, walking over to where Y/N was as Emily and Jared were whisked away for their hair touch-ups.

“I never get bored watching you film.” Y/N grinned, wrapping her arms around Rob’s neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned up slightly to give him a peck on the lips. “It’s one of my favorite things.”

🎶You are the reason, I fall to pieces🎶

“Oh, is that so?” He quirked an eyebrow at her, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

“Mm..” She hummed in response, nodding before just laying her head against his chest as they stood there in each other’s arms until Rob was called away for more filming.

*****

And of course, the only other memory that could stand right alongside the memory of Rob and Y/N’s wedding, and the memory of the day their first daughter was born, was the memory of the day their second daughter was born.

🎶'Cause you're all that I adore🎶

“Hello, little one.” Rob whispered as he stared down at his and Y/N’s baby daughter as she was nestled safely in Y/N’s arms. “Beautiful, just like her Mommy and big sis.”

🎶You're the one my heart beats for🎶

“Little Emmalyn Saige Benedict.” Y/N smiled widely, letting her daughter’s tiny fingers wrap around one of hers.

🎶And I can't believe you gave your sweet heart to me🎶

“I can’t wait for Sophia to meet her.” Rob said quietly, not taking his eyes off his new daughter.

Y/N smiled slightly, leaning further into Rob’s side.

“Me, too.”

*****

It was really quite simple when Rob thought about it. It didn’t have to be examined too closely.

🎶Ooh yeah, you gave your sweet heart to me🎶

Y/N was his everything. She was the one who gave him the life he had only dreamed of before he met her. She had been there with him through his worst times just like he had been there with her through hers.

She was his happiness. She was the one who gave him two beautiful daughters that just added on to that. He would forever be grateful.

🎶Ooh yeah, you gave your sweet heart to me, oh🎶

And nothing would ever or could ever change his mind about that.

<><><><><><><><><>

The crowd screamed and applauded as the band played the last notes of the song, Rob’s voice fading away with the last lyric.

“I love you, Y/N, and I’ll see you and the girls when I get home.” Rob spoke into the microphone, staring at where he saw the camera filming the livestream. “Goodnight, Seattle!”

Rob gave one last wave to the crowd before he and the band began making their way off stage, Rob’s mind filled with thoughts of Y/N.

The woman who was back in LA staring at her computer screen, smiling like an idiot as she leaned back against the headboard of her and Rob’s bed, both of their daughters fast asleep on either side of her.

“Love you, too, Robbie.”

A/N: Okay, so that didn’t exactly turn out how I had originally planned, but I still had fun writing it. And I hope you enjoyed reading it even more! 😁

Anyway, I’ve started work on a (Gabriel x Trickster!Reader) one-shot. I’m not sure when I’ll get that up, but hopefully it won’t be too long. 🙂

Until next time! 😘

💋 Love always,

~Maddy

november, lately + pumpkin miso soup (recipe)

i have been having the worst time putting words on paper (er, screen) lately. i suppose this is the teacher's busy time of the year and i continue to take on so much, that i forget to take time. i consider this a big "life lately" dump so i can start fresh and start recording more of the day to day stuff. going back almost two weeks ago to halloween - we had a great one. alex and i reprised our costume from six years ago (our first halloween together) as wayne and garth from wayne's world and it almost went even better than the first time.

we like to utilize halloween as a time for some great character acting, and it was perhaps the best (if you may have seen on instastories!). i feel like this is where we really shine as (comedy) partners! even better than simon & garfunkel a few years ago and the endless streams of "lie-luh-lie's" from the chorus of “the boxer”. (arguably one of the best s&g songs) but i digress yet again.

other favorite moments were a rousing rendition ondrej and i performed of "tubthumping" (an underrated duet, in my opinion, but one that goes on way too long) and someone's memorable louis armstrong impersonation. also notable were the ways that other people got into the holiday this year. every year our (czech) neighbors have a pumpkin carving evening with their grandkids, and i opened my front door on sunday night before halloween to see the entire hall of the building alight with glowing jack-o-lanterns, big white ghost lanterns, and candles. it made my halloween-loving heart swell.

our jack-o-lanterns sadly went bad before the 31st, so i took to lighting our neighbors' jack-o-lanterns instead.... and laughably, even one that was sitting dark and forgotten in our local park. someone had lovingly carved it and lit it the saturday before halloween, but it had blown over in the storm the next day. then the day before halloween, someone picked it up and placed it on a planter box, and i lit it -- a neighborhood effort. apparently it stayed lit the entire halloween evening... i hope it brought a smile and a bit of whimsy to someone's night.

so far, november has brought with it quite dismal and cold weather that has us pulling our winter coats and sweaters not seen since last march. we've had a beautiful full (hunter's) moon and i've been scrambling around on my precious weekends trying to do everything i don't have time for during the week. baking. countryside walks with dogs & friends. movies. livestreams from this year's iceland airwaves. nights at the cinema and in cozy cafes. we've got a three day weekend coming up for "struggle for freedom and democracy day" (aka, 28th anniversary of the velvet revolution) this coming week, which i think will help me slow down while still doing all the things i want to do.

yesterday we celebrated st. martin's day with our friends/neighbors and their closest family members which was such a fantastic feast and experience - to take part in this czech celebration day the proper way... with soup, roast duck and goose, sauerkraut, nádivka, dumplings, and all the trimmings, not to mention dessert upon dessert. it reminded me in this month full of thanksgiving how deeply touched and grateful i am to have met such wonderful people here that welcome us into our homes and seat us alongside their family members and children. i feel as though we are part of a community here -- a feeling that doesn't automatically happen in every place you live, and there is no better feeling.

although i'm deeply looking forward to what the rest of 2017 will bring (and in deep anticipation of the upcoming holiday season), i am also very conscious of being in the moment each day and savoring the very last autumn -- what storm hewart did not blow away, at least!

the storm sadly destroyed many crops from local farms in south bohemia -- been enjoying the last of those fresh leafy greens and other delicate produce that will be the last from the year. also snatching up the last of the local gourds -- various squashes to make so many bowls of pumpkin pie oats, baked goods, and soup. ohhh, how good is a big bowl of pumpkin soup after a cold afternoon walking in the forest?

here's my spin on a simple pumpkin soup with the secret healthful ingredient -- miso! use white miso for a delicate flavor and dark (hatcho) miso if you want more miso flavor. it adds a lovely umami flavor to what could be an otherwise plain soup, not to mention so many health benefits.

pumpkin miso soup

(serves 4-5)

you’ll need... 1 hokkaido or kabocha pumpkin, sliced into chunks 2 small / medium onions, sliced knob of ghee or coconut oil sea salt, to taste ground pepper, to taste. chicken or vegetable stock - about 750ml 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 tablespoon miso paste pumpkin seed oil (optional) cream (optional)

1) heat the oil in a pot and add onions. sauté with a pinch of sea salt until translucent.

2) add in the pumpkin chunks and give them a stir frequently for about 10 minutes.

3) add in the stock just enough to cover the pumpkin (otherwise the soup will be too brothy) add a pinch salt and pepper to taste.

4) simmer soup until the pumpkin chunks can be easily pierced by a fork.

5) carefully transfer to a blender (or you can use an immersion blender if you prefer). add the nutmeg and miso and blend. you want to add the miso at this stage because water that is too hot can destroy some of the healthful properties.

6) taste as you go -- you can add a little bit more miso, nutmeg, or a pinch more of salt to suit your particular tastes. (there's nothing worse than an under-salted soup, but the miso does add a good hit of it, so salt more only after the miso is properly dissolved)

7) ladle into bowls and add a swirl of pumpkin seed oil and/or cream and swirl it in a pattern with a spoon.

8) serve with bread or toast if you prefer. feel warmer and cozier!

what’s your favorite soup or meal to warm you up on a cold autumn day?

ps, other good autumn recipes on adventurings: pumpkin pie oatmeal & ukranian-style borscht soup
