FLUFFCEMBER DAY#27: (Nikolai x Reader)

I'm sorry

You didn't tend to think of yourself as a petty, whiny person who gave others a hard time when you were mad, yet here you were, sitting upright in your bed at around 3 in the morning, still fuming at what Nikolai did earlier. Even after screaming at him for a solid 30 minutes and then banishing him to the living room couch, you just couldn't get it out of your mind.

For context, the little bastard decided it would be a good idea to booby trap the whole living room with glitter bombs, plastic wrap "force fields" and whoppi cushions while you were out running errands. You returned later in the evening exhausted and rather irritable, only to have your mood worsened by Nikolai's little pranks, and since he was too busy reveling in the chaos, he didn't notice how mad you were until you'd exploded, though even if he had, he probably would have only laughed harder. Beyond livid, you chewed him out for half an hour, screaming about how you never got respect from him, how he was always causing trouble, what he did wrong, why it was wrong, and so on, until you were red in the face and out of breath. Nikolai was quite shocked, since you normally took his jokes very well, but did not respond and only stood there, gawking awkwardly at you as you stormed off in a huff.

You'd think that after having so much time alone, you would have calmed down a bit, but you hadn't. If anything, you felt worse--guilty, even. What were you feeling guilty for, anyway, you wondered. Could it be that you felt bad for yelling at Nikolai earlier? Yeah, that was probably it. That was kinda over dramatic, even for the circumstances.

"Guess I should apologize," You mumbled to no one in particular, heaving yourself out of bed and stumbling into the darkened living room, where a familiar white-haired clown sat slouched on the couch.

"Oh," He said sulkily, upon seeing you enter. "What're you mad about this time?"

"I'm not mad at you," You replied, after a second or two of hesitation. "I've...come to apologize. I shouldn't have exploded on you like that, I know you were just trying to have some fun."

Nikolai was silent for a few moments, staring at you with wide eyes, apparently unable to believe you'd made the first mood in admitting you were wrong. It took him a few seconds, but he finally declared himself with a loud sigh and shook his head sheepishly.

"Naw, I should've realized you were in a bad mood," Nikolai muttered, nervously tugging on his braid. "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too," You agreed, picking at your fingers since you didn't know what else to do with them. "So...uhh...come back to bed with me? It's kinda lonely without you slobbering all over me like usual."

"Cuddles?!" Nikolai erupted, springing up from the couch with renewed vigor. "OK! OK OK OK OK OK!" Cackling like a crazed hyena, the idiot proceeded to literally leap into your arms, sending you stumbling back several feet, finally crashing through the doorway to your bedroom and convienently having your upper body land on the foot of your bed. A semi-uncomfortable position it was, Nikolai was quick to correct it by scrambling under the covers on his side of the bed, excitedly awaiting you to join him. Trying your best to match his infectious energy, you dove under the blankets as well and took your rightful place smashed up against his lean torso.

Because of all the recent excitement, it was very unlikely that you'd be falling sleep anytime soon, but at least you felt better after having apologized--Nikolai probably wouldn't be holding any grudges against you since he seemed to have already forgotten, the thought long since pushed out of his head by the promise of cuddles.

I think a good shipname for Error x Classic would be: Moth.

Because the moth, the insect, was the FIRST computer BUG to exist.

(Long story short: this happened because a moth (insect) literally entered inside the computer, causing problems with it.

And that's why bugs are called...well, bugs- )

Sans is the first existing Sans, and Error is the first Sans that bugged.

So...to me this makes some sense.

And well, since Error doesn't eliminate the main au of the multiverse, in this case: Undertale, he implies that he has nothing against Undertale and its Fun Values, he just doesn't care about them.

At some point, I imagine Error ending up visiting Undertale for...reasons he can't remember :).

He would feel a strange feeling of deja-vu from this place.

And then, halfway through, he meets Sans.

Sans, as always, would be friendly towards Error.

Maybe Error would be rude to him at first, but Sans wouldn't care, and would just keep trying to make friends.

Sans would make his natural jokes, and Error, like any other Sans, would find them funny, and nostalgic, in some way.

And well, over time, Error would like to spend time with Sans, as he is not an anomaly like the others, he already existed, perhaps even before Error himself.

Of course, it would take a HUGE amount of time to get to that point, as he seems to have trust issues, but anyway-

Error would maybe vent to Sans about this multiverse balancing thing and Ink not being able to keep this shit balanced.

Sans would obviously understand Error, because, unlike Ink, he is more sensible-

They would do different things together: they would tell jokes, they would laze around, they would just make small gestures of affection because aphephobia-

Error would even take Sans to watch the real stars in Outertale, as Classico has probably never seen them, and he also loves astronomy, so there's no way he wouldn't like it.

They would both nerd out about space, watch Undernovela and other crap on TV, Error would teach him how to knit, Classico would call Error a nerd because of his glasses as a way of teasing him.

Classic would also play pranks on him, using mainly the old and famous whoppie causion-

And with all this attention and affection that Error would be receiving, he would start to fall in love with the Classic.

Error being a wet paper towel around Classic sans is my favorite thing ever. Hes this weird guy who is both overpowered and very easy to beat in a fight but the moment “the Original” is around he’s the epitome of those images of large eyed sad cats who just follow people around all pathetically

OKOK BIG DORIAN EXPLANATION SO UHHMM TO EXPLAIN THIS I ALSO NEED TO EXPLAIN HIS FAMILY KIND OF!!!

(disclaimer some of this is speculation. he was only in two scenes in this game let me breathe)

He has a mother (Rhinedottir) and four siblings we know of but im only talking about two of them: Durin and Albedo.

Rhinedottir is an Alchemist from Khaenri'ah (u probably know abt it but in short place the archons destoryed bc of celestia. rhinedottir is one of the sinners who lead to that)

She created life. she made lots of things but the ones we know of are elynas, golden wolflord, durin, dorian, and albedo.

Durin is a giant dragon with toxic blood, and dorian/albedo are human. Rhinedottir made dorian as a prototype to albedo (before khaenriah fell also!! albedo was made after) for whatever reason she determined he was a failure, and fed him to durin. his brother. like any normal mother would yknow.

durin was later killed(?) by dvalin/stormterror after he went insane and destroyed mondstadt. he fell onto dragonspine and his bones are still there. Durin is NOT TECHNICALLY DEAD (thats very important) hes "slumbering"

Durins toxic blood, likely because hes coming back to life (WINK WINK) brought dorian back to life. Dorian, upon seeing albedo getting to live a happy, fufilling life, dorian became very jealous. however, he believed he couldnt just live his life now. he believed his only way was to kill and replace albedo (he hardly knows anything else.)

now, albedo does NOT live with rhinedottir. she left a while back thats a whole other thing this aint about her!!

so albedo and the traveler meet during some kind of event in the adventurers guild idrc abt this part it doesnt matter. but albedo finds his workshop RUINED. things are thrown around and his alchemy notes are missing. they go looking for the theif and narrow it down to a cave. albedo goes in, the traveler stays outside

dorian, disguised as albedo, shows up to talk to the traveler a while later. First thing he does weird is greets the traveler with just yes. (albedo doesnt do that!!! hes quite friendly!!!) and hes very awkward in the whole interaction. paimon and the traveler collected some starsilver and asked him if they should throw out the bad parts. he responds with a little rant that i know almost by heart so:

"Yes, the sorting process IS necessary. humans are such practical creatures. they only want those things that are good. once theyve found the difference between good and bad, they will NEVER stop comparing things in their minds"

so. a lot to unpack there even if it doesnt seem like it. First of all, he refers to humans seperate to himself. "but hes not human!" is a decent argument and yeah its true he was artificially created by alchemy but its also interesting because A) albedo refers to himsel as an "artificial human" and not inhuman as a whole. and B) rhinedottir is human. thats a very vital part of her and albedos character. this is a jab at rhinedottir as much as it is a representation of how he feels inferior. this is WHY he believes he cant live his own life.

On top of that, hes convinced rhinedottir is like all humans (generalizing them very quickly) so he believes they wouldnt accept him most likely. after this the traveler goes to find bennett when hes yelling and dorian leaves while theyre not looking.

i dont know if this is dorian or whoppy (we'll talk about him) but theres also a scene where this little kid (joel) is led away by a fake albedo and when eula confronts him, he attacks her and flees.

now there are three albedos: the real albedo, dorian disguised as albedo, and the fell flower.

In order to distract albedo, dorian uses the notes he stole + durins blood to create a whopperflower. not just a whopperflower, a whopperflower who can replicate albedos appearance. this whopperflower is the fake albedo you see for the rest of the event. at the end, the whopperflower attacks the event gang (traveler, paimon, amber, eula, and bennett.) and they fight him off. when hes about to attack again, albedo impales him and he turns into this thing

big whopperflower.

the traveler kills(? i think idk) him and they settle everything going on. but dorian is still alive. at the end, albedo pieces together that this is his brother (he doesnt say that exactly btw he doesnt rlly even consider durin his brother) and says that in dorians place, hed have done the same. and dorian is seen watching him from the top of the mountain. albedo draws his sword and thats where the cutscene ends and ur just left with the gameplay for primos.

now dorian is not confirmed dead (to ME hes in the fatui but yknow. OR THE ABYSS ORDER. dorian please join the abyss order we need you... i love you abyss order) and theres a lot that can be drawn from his general lore if you SQUINT. A LOT. its most likely that if dorian IS his name, he gave it to himself, as the golden wolflord (also discared altho not killed by rhinedottir like dorian) was never given a name. also the amount of interactions hes had with durin could imply he was somehwat not in his right mind (durin lore is complicated and would take a whole other rant but his toxic blood can corrupt ppl possibly)

i, of course, choose to believe that if durins blood had any effect, it was just making him bold. considering durin himself, under the effect of his own blood, had no idea he was hurting people.

IM OUT OF THINGS TO SAY THAT ARENT JUST HCS LIVE LAUGH LOVE DORIAN THANKS FOR COMING TO MY DORIAN TALK!!!!!!

OK. OMG. FIRST. THAT WAS ALOT TO READ WHICH I LOVE BECAUSE I LOOVEEE READIMG THWNKYOU SO MJCH FOR YHIS LING YUMMY DELICIOUS PARAGRAPH. A SECOND. OH.MY GOF? THIS SI FUCKIMG AWESOME? I LEGITIMATELY DONT REMEMBER SHIT ABOUT GENSHIN BUT THIS SIS SO GOOD LIVE LAUGH LOVE DORIAN. YOURE FAMOUS.DORIAN. UOURE FAMOUS. You’re the captain of explaining thqnkyou I will be putting this in my notes for later. <3

[wiretism]

1. have to address this cause i saw you said you ship venti with dorian i LOVE that. what the hell is their dynamic tho LMAO cause venti silly as hell (affectionate)

2. KITSUNE SUCROSE SAVE ME i literally. okay its a Super Basic Theory that shes literally just. an anemo kitsune. points at yae. drawn back ears, no tail (most of the time), catalyst user, and we are NEVER TOLD what sucrose actually is, all were really told is that she is not a cat like diona. (if i remember correctly, but my point is i dont think we ever get an actual answer). she lives in mondstadt cause it feels homey cause its the land of wind!!!! and she made friends there!!!! i would die for sucrose okay…. (i also made a joke theory thath has zero evidence that each region has their own elemental kitsune lol but that was sooo long ago idr who i even assigned lol)

3. okay one of my little aus was of course. okay. i should clarify. Dont Like Draff. dont like margaret either shes taking advantage of diona it drives me mad. get that kitten outta there. anyways in one of my aus diona runs away and stows away on a ship to inazuma and gets picked up by yae who likes her spirit and diona gets a good mom and lives in inazuma i literally didnt think farther than that LMAO

oh and also diona finding whoppy in one au and they become buddies 🫶 little mimic kitty flower. catmint. they r best friends.

(anyways fuck draff and margaret dont like em dont like the way they treat diona idk why half the fandom thinks margaret is like a mom to her if margaret cared she wouldnt let a TWELVE YEAR OLD serve ALCOHOL to CREEPY PERVS WHO ASK HER TO MEOW AND TRY TO TOUCH HER EARS AND TAIL i will fight margaret in the cats tail back alley come fucking get me woman)

-cross

VENDORIAN OKAY OKAY SO BASICALLY YKNOW THAT LINE VENTI HAS WHERE THEY SAY "what is freedom if demanded of you by a god?" YEAH SO LIKE. THAT. AND DORIAN WHOS CONVINCED HIS ONLY POSSIBLE WAY OF LIVING IS TO KILL AND REPLACE THE "BETTER" ONE (albedo) SO HES NOT FREE AND LIKE EVEN IF HE SUCCEEDED HE WOULDNT BE FREE HED BE FORCED TO PRETEND TO BE ALBEDO WHICH HES NOT VERY GOOD AT TBH... VENTI SHOWING HIM ITS OKAY TO BE HIS OWN PERSON... Venti being silly and playing their lyre and convincing dorian to chill out while dorian tails them places and reluctantly puts up with their shit and venti opens up about themself and dorian tells them about his own life. durin and dvalin paralleling dorian and venti. just them getting closure together and at first dorian is super reluctant but he warms up to it and venti gives him dragon therapy and he plays music with venti (friendly reminder ventis lyre is what stopped durins rampage.... imagine it had a calming effect on dorian)

I LOOOVE THAT... (i wonder who the kitsune could be for liyue and fontaine) her being a silly kitsune.... omgggggg i love that

DIONA YESSS i ddont like draff much either and frankly mondstadts tendency to employ children (bennett, fischl, klee, diona) is a little odd but. yknow. i like that a lot

WHOPPY AND DIONA..... Thats so funny bc i made a list of mond characters and how dorian felt abt them and she was in his hate section LMAO he has beef w his sons best friand,,,

Yellow cast vs Ms. Noir

So I got bored and decided to make a fight scenario between Undertale yellow crew, but mostly clover and Ms. Noir from the glitch series. The problem is that story is 3 or 4 page long so here is the cliffs note version.

So the story starts with Clover entering the arena that Ms. Noir fought Asgore and Toriel in [1]. They finds Ms. Noir surrounded by those pink creature, Clover and Ms. Noir banter and then fight. The fight is evenly matched with Clover utilizing the different ammos such the ice, glass, coffee and even the flowey bullets until they tries to end thing with a big sh- I mean Clover blast. As Clover thinks things are over Akumu eats them then spits them out. [2] With a familiar screech to anyone whose plays Yellow's genocide run, Akumu has turned into Zenith Marlet something that scares Clovers. So Zenith Marlet begins molly whoppying Clover and is about to finish them off when they are save by the Yellow cast (i.e the feisty five, Ceroba, Axis, El Baliador and Marlet who is confused by the bird that looks like her).

So they try to go up against the Zenith along side Clover, but this fails and actual Marlet decides its best that they retreat. So they do, but the Zenith gives chase. [3] When they get far enough from the arena the Zenith falls out of the sky and begins to melt similar to actual Marlet in genocide. This disturb Clover enough that they tell everyone to stop the vehicle their and the group does and Clover runs over to the Zenith to try to help. This is of course a trap, and the Zenith attacks Clover, but thank Ceroba protects Clovers Soul and Starlo lasso's Clover over to them and they continue to make their escape to the hideout. When they get out the vehicle again Clover throws up and Ceroba blames Starlo for letting Clover eat gunpowder again. Clover runs into the hideout.

So context

Ms. Noir called Clover as well as the four formally fallen humans out. Clover was the first one to answer the challenge

I leaned into the fear trait that when Akumu eats someone alive then spits them out it can turn into your most dangerous fear. For clover and the other four formally fallen humans its those they fought in genocide. They have been having nightmares about their actions in genocide

Akumu fell out the sky because it getting out the range of Ms. Noir. I change Akumu power set that if they get far away Ms. Noir they begin to weaken and if they get away from the target the fear they stop being that fear

This is just a personal thing and anyone feel free to disagree with me, but Betty or Bȇte is just a really lame name so she just goes by Ms. Noir here which is cooler

[badassbitchwhosonly5ft]

Bruce has checked the statements ever since he gave dick his very first card and one big very questionable purchase later and thats all it took. he gets statements for every kid. Every card. Every month. If for no other reason than to know what might be coming his way and what to look out for, if it hasnt already happened

Dick: the several hundred dollars spent on ceral. For for months straight any charge that went on the card was for 69.69 because he found out that bruce had started checking the statements (there were also 69 charges made each month) . The time he dropped several grand just to out bid someone at a charity auction for something that he didnt even know what it was, let alone actually want it - the someone was a snooty gotham lady that had directly insulted bruce and she really wanted whatever the hell that thing wss supposed to be. At least thats the story that dick told bruce later.

Tim: hair dye. Lots of hair dye. Insane amounts and this just happened to be at the same time Steph bought whoppie cushions and shaving cream and this was the one and only warning bruce got when he woke up to all of these things to kick off the 6 week prank war that still haunts some of the family

Damian: food and or some kind of habitat essential for an animal that bruce is certain did not live with them the last time he saw his youngest

Cass: chaos. Constant chaos. Literally anything and everything she thinks wpuld be nice for someone or make someone happy. Bruce trusts her more than any of his kids with his card. He mainly just checks in to see what all shes been up to

Steph: shopping sprees and huge amounts of waffles. Prank war supplies and unkown to Bruce. Sometims she just buys things to make his panic or confuse him

Jason: jason hates to use his card for the most part. Mostly its used for when hes mad at buce. Not batman. Bruce wayne. Like time they had a fight and jason look hal Jordan our for the most expensive restaurant in the area. Or the other time he bought oliver queen the a bottle of bruces favorite wine. Then there are the occasions that things will be really goof between them and jason will get a few new pairs of jeans or groceries. Rare. But they happen.

I know for a fact that Bruce Wayne has never once looked at a credit card statement in his entire life and all his bills are on autopay. But for the funnies, I can only imagine what his individual children's statements look like. I'm sure he's got them all as authorized users on like a single black card account, and he's able to separate the statements by the individual cards, and I just imagine him highlighting confusing purchases, taking pictures of them and texting it to his kids like "?????"

albedo and his three brothers. some headcanons and design elements under the cut :)

---

albedo, compared to the others, has the yellowest blonde hair - with droopy blue eyes, freckles, and his signature golden star birthmark on his neck. i didnt change his design much because i think his current design is already very nice !!

his personality is already layed out in the game so i didnt change much! hes reserved, but not the socially anxious type. he just prefers not to deal with social interaction because he thinks its easier that way. he doesn't hold himself back, and just says whats on his mind (and/or asks for assistance when needed.) he has a very professional attitude on the outside, but a soft and comforting nature to his close friends and family.

this is a contrast from dorian, or "rubedo", who has more platinum blonde hair, and purple-red eyes. he also has moles, instead of freckles. his marking is more of a purple-red color, and has more points to it. (he can also hide and change it!) his hair is also unbraided, but in a ponytail. he has somewhat of a permanent scowl on his face, and his eyes are downturned while albedo's are more droopy. i think his real name is rubedo, to match with albedo (both are stages in alchemy) but after rhinedottir abandons him, he changes it to "dorian" to match his brother, durin. (his name is dorian in the games files, so i made a story to go with it. but i also believe he's inspired by the story "the picture of dorian gray")

his personality is more brash & brazen compared to albedo, as he has some un-resolved baggage surrounding rhinedottir abandoning him in durin's stomach (aka: the dragon in dragonspine). he resents albedo for having the life he couldn't have despite being created by rhinedottir first. he was merely the testing stage of albedo's existence. he doesn't have a vision, and he cant control the elements, but he miraculously has powers of his own. he uses durin's blood (or crimson agate) which manifests much like albedo's geo element. his power is strongest when in dragonspine near durin's heart, so if he went to mondstadt city, it would be much weaker.

whopperflower, or just "whoppy", is dorian's creation that he made from studying albedos books and notes (that he stole, by the way.) so obviously, i gave him cryo whopperflower traits. his design is more similar to albedo because dorian projected his issues onto him a bit ... whoppy has white markings on his neck and forehead that match other flowers, and his leaf colors extend onto his hair :) he's fully capable of mimicking something else, but his true form is a whopperflower - and i wanted to make all of them have distinctive designs, so i gave him a little sprout on his head :)

whoppy's personality is quiet and obedient. since he was created by dorian, he listens to pretty much everything he says and has a hard time gaining his own free will. dorian doesn't control him after the fight in shadows admist snowstorms, so he still has to learn how to think for himself... he also wields the element of cryo without a vision, because he's a whopperflower :-)

the last one is what i like to call "glitchbedo" and he's based off of this glitch. i think it would be interesting if he was an unknown identity from the abyss, who roams around dragonspine, before he saw albedo and tried to steal his appearance. albedo finds him roaming around mindlessly one day and pretty much takes him in. when trying to make him talk however, loud static noises come out instead. (i got this idea from this comic!)

he's just ... a black void?? that's it. his head is tilted permanently for some reason. he can't write or speak but he can understand tevyats language. he's a very mysterious guy... im still trying to figure out how i want to characterize him -_- something like paper jam dipper from gravity falls, maybe ??

[jerzwriter]

Hello my friend, it is I, @promptnonny

I come bearing a gift for you 💗

Character A: “I work in the medical field.”

Character B: “I go to (character a) for all of my medical needs and procedures. He/she removed both of my appendixes.”

Yes, this is to be a funny prompt 😉 Have fun lovely 😘

OK, @promptnonny, I hope I did this justice! It was definitely a challenging prompt! Shout out to @lucy-268, who helped me come up with this great scenario to use! Hope you enjoy it.

Book: Open Heart (Late Book 2 Timeline)

Pairing: Tobias Carrick x F!MC (Casey MacTavish)

Characters: Landry Olsen

Rating: Teen

Warnings: Implied sensuality- nothing explicit

Words: 1,100ish

Summary: Casey is not happy about seeing her favorite show live, and there is a good reason for that; but in the end, she gets a delightful view.

A/N: @choicesmonthlychallenge - Flufftober - Laughter It's late. I didn't proofread - forgive me lol

Casey shuffled her feet as she followed Tobias through the narrow rows of chairs. Usually, she was up for anything and would make the best of it, but this… this is what he had them doing on their little escape to New York? Their first trip away as a couple? With a deep breath, she reminded herself of what he promised he’d do to make up for it in the hotel room later… and she was holding him to it.

He flopped down into his seat, that content, bordering on mischievous, look bright on his face when he noticed Casey hadn’t sat down. 

“Baby, you planning on standing the whole show?”

“I still can’t believe we’re here.”

“What? You said you love The View. Whoppi’s your favorite… all of that….”

“Yeah, I would have been fine coming to the show until I heard today’s guest!”

“I know,” he grumbled, tapping the seat beside him. “Come on, baby. I promised my boss I’d be here and show support. If you really don’t want to….”

“No!” she interrupted, slumping in the seat next to him. “I don’t want to leave you. I’ll stay here and watch the shitshow with you.”

Throwing his arm around her, he kissed the top of her head. “That’s my girl.”

“My girl, nothing,” she giggled. “Don’t think you’re getting out of what you promised later.”

“Hon,” he smirked, “you’re acting as if it’s a hardship. I’m counting the damn hours.”

Their conversation ended as the studio lights dimmed and producers told the crowd to be silent. She laughed through the opening segment, loved Hot Topics, and then he appeared. Tobias was sure he heard her eyes roll.

“How the hell did this idiot even get asked to do this?”

Even though she whispered, she was met with annoyed shushes and decided to sit back and watch. She was being rewarded later, and how bad could it be.

“This month, The View is honoring our medical heroes. Based on letters received from our viewers, several physicians and other medical professionals have been asked to come here as our guests. Today, we welcome Dr. Landry Olsen from Mass Kenmore Hospital in Boston. Along with Dr. Olsen is Michael Roderick, the patient who wrote the touching letter that led to Dr. Olsen’s selection. Help me in welcoming them to The View.”

“Who is this Roderick dude,” Casey whispered amongst the applause. “Did you ever work with him.”

“Never seen ‘em, babe. But I’m not on many cases with the guy.”

“Lucky for you,” she replied, offering the weakest of applause.

Landry took to the stage, a bit dazed. He looked paler and somehow lost under the tuft of blonde curls bouncing atop his head. His patient caught his attention and all but guided him to his seat. Landry was like a deer in headlights, and suddenly, Casey wasn’t so upset that they were there. She only wished she had popcorn.

“So welcome to The View! Dr. Olsen, the letter Mr. Roderick sent was quite touching. Can you tell us a little about his case and how you two developed such a special doctor-patient bond?”

Even from a distance, they could see Landry perspiring. He smacked his dry lips together, eventually grabbing a glass of water and taking a sip, but not before a drop dribbled down his chin. Sensing his discomfort, the interviewer attempted to dumb down the questions.

“So, Dr. Landry, can you tell us your role at Mass Kenmore?”

“I’m uh… I work in the medical field.”

“Well, I kind of hoped so,” the host chuckled, “I mean, you’re a doctor!”

Tobias turned to Casey with a slight grin. “You enjoying yourself now?” he teased.

“Sssh! I don’t want to miss this.”

“OK,” another host jumped in. “Mr. Roderick, why don’t you tell us a little about your experience with Dr. Olsen.”

“Sure,” the young man smiled with a big, toothy grin. “I go to Dr. Olsen for all my medical needs and procedures. He removed both of my appendixes.”

Before anyone could react, a loud chortle and bellowing laugh echoed through the studio. The hosts and most of the audience turned to look in Casey and Tobias’s direction.

“I’m sorry! Sorry!” Casey apologized.

“Oh, no, she’s not,” Tobias chuckled under his breath as they continued to watch the wreckage unfold.

“Uhhhh… Now I’m not a medical professional, but I think we only have one appendix. So care to tell us how you had two removed?”

“Uh, no,” Landry replied, looking more gaunt and pale by the second. “Not really.”

“Then maybe you could, Mr. Roderick?”

“Sure! See, I had one, and it was removed, but a few weeks later, it grew back, and the only one who realized it was Dr. Olsen.”

“Shut up,” Landry snarled through his teeth, but the mic picked it up and was heard throughout the audience.

The host looked on with a baffled stare. “I don’t think it works that way….”

“OK,” Casey whispered, “all kidding aside, this is a terrible look for Kenmore. Are you going to give him an assist?”

“What?” Tobias scoffed, “and get myself caught up in this shitshow? Oh no, he is sinking on his own. I’m just reporting back to the boss when this is over.”

The show cut to a commercial break, and Landry and Michael were ushered off stage. Tobias made his way down to see if he could find out what was going on; as Casey watched from her seat, wondering if anything Tobias offered to do later would be more gratifying than what she was experiencing right now.

“Well,” she asked anxiously when he returned.

Tobias shook his head with discussion. “It seems Roderick is the clown’s cousin. The gruesome twosome planned this to get publicity and a free trip to New York.”

“So wait, that wasn’t a real patient?”

“Not of Landry’s anyway,” Tobias shrugged.

“Well,” Casey giggled. “They’re getting lots of publicity now. This can’t be good for him at work.”

“Nope,” Tobias handed her his phone to read a text from the chief of medicine.

“Termination of employment!” she gasped.

“I mean, this is pretty bad, Case. The Hospital’s PR team is already reeling.”

“Wow, I don’t normally believe in karma….”

“But you do today,” Tobias sang.

“I guess I do. Oh, T?”

“Yeah?”

“There’s one other thing I believe.”

“What’s that?” he asked.

“You’ll have to work twice as hard on my reward now. Cause it’s gonna take an awful lot to beat this.”

Once again, his boisterous laugh caught the stares of other audience members, but he didn’t have a worry in the world. 

“Don’t worry,” he laughed, pulling her close to his side, “I think I’m up to the task.”

“Good,” she winked. “This is turning into a very memorable trip!”

Owl House and Amphibia Weekly Reviews: Edge of the World/The Three Armies/The Beginning of the End

Hello all you happy people! I’m Jake and I do anylitical reviews and i’m feeling a bit misty eyed, both because these episodes are geninely emotoinal.. and because I”ve realized we’ve almost reached the end of both shows.  Amphibia has fully entered it’s endgame with these two episodes starting one long push to the end, which will conclude next week with all-in and be given a coda with The Hardest Thing after that. It’s been a heck of a ride with this show, from binging the first season with my Nephew, to covering every episode as it’s come out since season 2 started: i’ve covered tedious road trips, gay as heck reunions, sonic unleashed homages, spider-man homages, satam homages,  gravity falls homages... there’s a lot of other things dna in here and i’m all for it. We’ve also had an absolute feast of guest stars over these past two seasons covering this: Kermit the Frog, Alex Hirsch, Kristin Schaal, Zeno Robinson, Whoppi Goldberg, Kate Miccuci, Wallace Shawn, Ru Paul, Jason Ritter, and of course sexiest man alive Keith David as Andrias. It’s been a long, wonderful trek and it’s sad to see it go. 

The same goes for owl house: The show is at it’s creative peak and instead of begging for a fourth season.. disney cut the third short due to homophobia and with a long enough lead time their stupid shit couldn’t be underdone before they had a change of heart.. in that they realized their homophobia was going to cost them more money than pr than they expected so they’d better act contrite or else. It’s ending sadly though clearly Dana will pull out all the stops to make it satsifying and given Season 2 is not only the best this show’s been but one of the best animated shows of the 2020′s and a high bar for shows to overcome in the future, it’ll if nothing else have a legacy of great tv.. and be yet another show in the hall of “shows execs screwed over and then regretted later when it blew up in their faces”.

So with a few more miles to go for owl house and only about one or two for amphibia, this week was.. okay. In Owl House’s case it didn’t give me AS MANY heart attacks.. but it still had a massive revelation that broke a child’s spirit and ended on a sizeable cliffhanger, so it’s glad to see some things don’t change, while amphibia had some issues but still pulled out a great cliffhanger of it’s own as we approach the final battle next week. But the short version isn’t as fun for me so join me under the cut as I go a bit more in depth into this weaks highs, lows and creamy middles as we begin the end of Amphibia nad continue owl house’s breakneck ride to the Season 2 finale. 

                                                 Edge of the World

As usual Owl House delivered.. not as much as last week but when your last episode is one of the best episodes of the year so far and will go down as one of the show’s most iconic moments... you have to grade on a curve and Edge of the World, while not one of the top tier episodes of the season was not only still pretty great.. but managed to pack in ANOTHER massive, series changing reveal that was expertly foreshadowed when you look back. 

Yes in a row. As I correctly figured last week Hollow Mind was the start of the season’s endgame: While season 2′s pacing is already excellent, making every episode feel important and every one important to the bigger picture (somethign the show did TRY to do in season one but still fell on it’s face once or twice thanks to the studio mandates and general early series awkardness).  But now we’re in the final sprint of the season said pacing has taken a mountain of cocaine and and thus we’ve gone from steady but still well done plot developments to INCREDIBLY well done plot developments build on that steady pacing coming at you fast in your face and as painful as that sounds. While I can’t say if the next few episodes will have MORE giant reveals, I can say they’ll probably pack in more big moments and plot development as the clock ticks downt ot he day of unity and the stakes just get higher and higher as our heroes scramble to save the worlds from a genocidal madman and his equally mad god. 

And this week packs another whallop by answering one of the season’s biggest questoins in a way I didn’t see coming, but in hindsight shoudl’ve because it was obvious. And i’m not going to take the sidedoor on this one, i’ll come up front and knock: King is a TITAN

Yup. In hindsight it makes sense. he’s not a race we know.. but neither is the titan. The titan’s head, which I never saw clearly LOOKS like kings. And we never saw his blood drawn nor the sample... .in a season where a titan’s blood is a vital resource. Not to mentoin his dad was pictured as massive... and the only creature of that size we’ve seen.. well you get it by now. The clues were all there and if you were presitant enough, like moderator of the owl house server i’ve made my home in Bogs, you could see them. I didn’t because I just enjoyed the ride of wondering what he is and didn’t think about it too clearly, so this blew me away, and how it’s revealed like hunter is fantastic: Luz, King and my boy hooty find a lost island thanks to the letter hooty finally threw up with a key that takes them to a pocket dimension. And thigns are tense since.. it’s VERY clear that whatever’s going on here.. ti’s not what king thinks as he finds the titan hunters, a society deciated to finding and slaying titans.. and to luz’ horror.. worshipping the collector. 

And how their leader bill, which had the people I watched this with worrying it was our old friend..

And the reveal that titans are hungry from birth, tyranical by nature and go weh... it turned a running gag, King’s fun noise, into terror... and they don’t hold back either. Despite the head of said hunters seeming friendly.. he’s more than willing ot kill a child. He makes it pleasnt as he can for the boy.. but once Luz and hooty save him he’s willing to kill them. It also reveals more about the collector: that they were seen as a great hunter, who those people hleping them capture the owl beast were, and that king may be another key to let them out.. meaning the doorway may be involved diffrently than we thought given it needs said blood to run and Belos has shown no need to find a titan for this so far. Whatever the case we learned a lot without having it shoved down our throats: all of it is revealed organically, including them clearly beign sealed to protect king.. by who we don’t know, but it’s clear they CANNOT be let out and King sealing them barely works. The episode is tense, if again not as much as laast week, thank god for that, and pretty good. My only weakness really is how obvious it is: yes king finds the titan hunters.. but even without promising shocking revealations in the solicit.. it’s VERY clear whatever’s going on here isn’t good and even if king wasn’t a titan and one of them.. it still woudln’t be. This plot’s been done a LOT, and to good effect but here.. it just feels pretty by the numbers: creepy cult, one of our heroes gets indorcinated but is to be sacrificed, they either die, become part of it or, int his case luckily, barely escape. It’s all pretty standard. 

King really is what elevates it. Alex’s acting for him continues to be some of his finest work, and this episode shows just how much he wants a family.. and why. He opens up that he KNOWS, or at least feels, luz is going to leave him: after her promise to her mom seemed to be a non issue, it comes back heartbreakingly: for amity and eda it sucks.. but they belivie luz can beat it. Btu for a kid who risks loosing his sister.. it looks diffrent. To him there is no hope and he has to find SOMETHIGN to fill the void. It’s also masterfully foreshadowed: ther’es no real reason at first king gave himself siblings in his fantasy at the start.. until you realize he WNATS More. He wants a family beyond what he’s got.. and he’ll never have it. HE’ll never have answers or traditions.. all he has is a corpse that nobody knows much about and the painful void inside that’s onlyg rowing bigger. Alex’s heartbreaking delivery at the end of that high as the boys irisies shrink is soul crushing and it’s only through his support system the poor kid dosen’t break down like poor hunter.. whose still mia but with only four episodes left and a week to go... i’m sure he’ll be back soon enough. 

Outside the main stuff we have one more important thing to break down before we move on to frogs: Eda and Luz’s mental states in the opening scene. Given she just found out the one person in the world she thought she could to is a genocidal madman, one of her friends ran away mid-panic attack, and that she’s now one of the only things standing between Belos/The Collector the mass execution of EVERY coverned person on the isles shoudl she fall.. it’s clear she needs a lot.. and Eda’s response is to have Luz’s surrogate brothers hug her and try to calm her down and try to stop her sisters own guilt trip when she shows up, as Luz dosen’t need Lilith’s own guilt overlaping with her own, with Luz teaching phillip the light glyph having made ALL of this possible. 

It’s then we get something intresting and complex: Eda pouring her heart out to Lilith that Luz SHOUDLN’T have to deal with this. Her first priority is getting her daughter away from her. And I had an equally intresting conversation with new friend @loosescrewslefty over this, as I pointed out how Eda’s actions are.. ultimately pointless. Belos is going to come for her no matter what and with VERY few allies to turn to (Adult wise she ONLY knows about her family, The BATS if she can free them, and tiny nose) , she HAS to let Luz fight as the alternative is the genocide of EVERYONE on the isles from the person she loves, to her family, to even the old friend who turned her away last episdoe. innocent people whose only crime was joining the system out of necisity or fear. 

Lefty wasn’t wrong in their own point though: Luz SHOUDLN’T have to do this. She’s a child, already dealing with a lot and just trying to get home. She shoudlnt’ have to fight an evil overlord, she shoudln’t have to fight. Eda’s instinct in getting her away from danger while she handles it with lilith SHOULD be how things go. A child shouldn’t have to fight this war, shouldn’t be targeted by an all powerful jackass. She should be goofing with her friends, going on dates with her girlfriend, recocling with her mom.. she dosen’t need the weight of the world on her shoulders, once again rewriting her own memories to be worse because of the guilt she feels. She shoudln’t have to do this. 

And with just accepting this and bring this to the fore.. it deconsturcts this entire genre, a genre that children’s tv has been built on: they shoudlnt have ot do this. Steven shoudln’t have had to end a thousand year war. Anne and Sasha shoudln’t have to wrestle their friend free from an ageless monsterous superintellgence and it’s lacky. It shoudln’t of been on Mable and Dipper to stop the apocalypse or start it in one of their cases. Finn shoudln’t of had to watch his own brother die. Star shoudln’t of been in the place to make the impossible choice between causing one genocide to stop another. And Luz shoudln’t have the weight of a world on her shoulders. None of them should’ve ended up like this but by circumnstance.. here they are. This is the first show i’ve seen since steven universe future to just come out and say how fucked up this is. And don’t get me wrong I love this genre.. but this is what good desconstuction does: show WHY this has to happen.. but show it happening is still not a GOOD thing. This scene .. and this show is brilliant and I will miss it. Also calling it now, i’m calling it now, Lilith and Eda either aren’t in the house and even if they are, their ready fo rthem. The shows already done an eda rescue arc, they arne’t going for two

                                           The Three Armies

Onto frogs.. and... as always i’ll come right up front and knock: this episode is bad.

THE IDEA isn’t bad: Sasha and Anne have to find some way to get the three armies, all of which are simmering with decades of racial tension from the newts opressing the toads, to the toads hating the newts for opressing them to both opressing the frogs and all slinging sterotypes at each other. Also for some reason Tritonio is head of the newt resitance

Like I love the guy dont’ ge tme wrong, and I get most newts are deferintal to andrias and the two who’d be most likely to head this side are.. occupied. We’ll get to that soon enough. But it still feels weird for an outright criminal to just.. magically manifest an army of robed newts for our heroes or, given his own multiracial crew, give a shit about sterotypes. 

The message of the ep is a good one: You can’t FORCE people to stopped being prejudice idiots who go against their own best intrests. They have to choose to make the effort. That’s a good thing to teach kids, and some grown adults, and having Anne shout it in blue form was impressive. The problem is to get there just about EVERYONE on all sides comes off as...

Anne and Sasha NEVER thinkign to deal with prejudice because teenagers does fit.. but everyone ELSE never assuming that is pushign it. We had an ENTIRE EPISODE, one of the best of this season, on them recurting the toads.  Did the frogs just... think they weren’t going to have to talk to their allies in the army? Did sprig think recurting Tritonio meant not working with an army of robed newts?.. because that’d be correct in most scnearios but is suprisingly wrong today. The plot requires EVERYONE to be stupid, and while again I get it: prejudice isn’t rational and makes people act against their natural impusles, siad prejudices are so cartoony (Toads are stupid, Newts are weak, Frogs just plain suck), it dosen’t land. Star vs by contrast , for ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL it’s faults.. at least portrayed prejudice more realistically, using a brilliant metaphor int he ep puddle defender iwth both sides having the same game.. but while the Mewman version has the monsters are ravenous beasts, the monster version has the mewmans in teh vilian roll.. because that’s their roll in history. It showed how prejudice is carried down. Amphibia HAS the tools to explore this with it’s inbuilt caste system and years of stuff.. but it choooses to sidestep the issue despite direclty bringing it up: having everyone work together.. but not acknoeldging this is just step ONE, and one brought about by change. There’s no telling if this will last when the dust clears and in a better written ep, this would be used to give the happy solution a bittersweet dose of reality.. here it’s just “Whelp we’re all together now”

I also have to say.. the momentum going into the final battle.. is fairly week. While 3B has mostly been about building to this war it’s mostly just been getting new troops. While that’s not bad it hasn’t felt like they made any progress towards, andrias, his castle, or his plans, and ONLY come up with ap lan thanks to remmebering marcy’s faviorite film. And it’s hard to ignore when in contrast with FOUR episodes to go owl house already feels like every episode is one step closer to the day of unity and is vital to what’s going to happen next. Here we’re in the end game.. but it feels like we have more episodes to go before we’re actually ready.. only to be told 

Overall.. a  mess. 

                                          The Beginning of the End

TBOTE is more like it, giving us an epic battle as the plantars, sasha and grime break in while the army distracts.. And it DOES use what’s so far been a weakness of this season as a strength: our heroe shavne’t actually dealt with core marcy to this poitn and what FELT like a stupid omission on the show spart.. ends up working brilliantly. BECAUSE we know about the core, we feel tense durign the entire castle raid: to our heroes they think this is it and with andrias occupied ont he battlefield (And getting a hell of an entrance line “don’t stop on my account”), they’ve won and the only obstalce is an awesome fight with olvia and yunan who have been collared sense, with sasha and anne DANCE FIGHTING THEM. Every time I think this show can get wonderfully, miraculously gayer it suprises me. 

And the Core utterly decimating them is heartbreaking.. granted I do not like how easiy the troops just.. flee. THey just.. give up the second anne is captured even though they coudl you know.. try resucing her? Guys? Hello.. oht heir gone already.. anne REALLY coudl’ve used their help. And this COULD pay off in the finale, we’ll see, but it feels like a waste of build up to have this brave army of good men do nothing while evil triumphs. 

Anne  talking her way out of it is awesome though pointing out since neither she nor the core know how the energy works, they coudl oose it if they kill her... it’s only a stay of execution but the promo, and just common sense, tells me she’ll be free soon enough. The final shot IS geninely awesome though... the flying castle and tons of MOBILE factories entering earth as Andrias and the Core WIN. 

That said while the main plot had weaknesses the fights are gorgeous and we do get somethign REALLY good with Marcy. A flashback shows Sasha and Anne, while they loved her.. often ignored her needs: sleeping during her films, ignoring her hobbies, and generally just “tolerating” what she loves instead of engaging, somethign we’ve seen proven time and again: even after she’s better Anne is constantly baffled when Marcy brings up thigns she’s explained at length, oof can relate. This has been coming and it makes sense for Anne, the more empathetic one to have to Argue marcy’s case to sasha: Yes she screwed up, yes she needs to make up for it but not only did sasha do both those things... but they wren’t the best friends. It dosen’t make what they did okay.. but maybe if they actually listned to her she might not of gone so far to keep them. It’s nuanced , it’s well done adn it makes me look foward to the final clash next week And on that note

Next Time: We get the climax of Amphibia as the battle for earth commences! Meanwhile over in owl town gus episode! Bria probably coming back! Hutner maybe! The Coven at the school! THis can’t end well!

The new part of the quest be like

HJDH YES

JUST LIKE THAT ONE SPIDERMAN MEME

And what creeps me out is that there are actually THREE Albedos

1. Our beloved hot alchemist boi Albedo

2. The Whopperflower Boss Albedo

3. The imposter Albedo the traveller first met

if they were all in the same place it'd look smth like this

So the whopperflower 'bedo is dead, but the imposter one is still alive. He's the one talking in the last cutscene, and the one with the sword.

Just to clear things up: Imposter Albedo created whopperflower Albedo using Albedo's stolen alchemy notes. The whopperflower couldn't have done this because to put it simply they ain't intelligent. I mean, taking on four people at once?? Five if you count Paimon

Imposter Albedo made Whoppy Albedo knowing that whoppy finna be killed. When the real Albedo killed whoppy, imbedo's plan was working. This made the Traveller, Albedo, and everyone else think that the threat was gone, but really, everything was going according to Imbedo's plan.

im a huge albedo lore fan dont bully meh-
