Full Moon + Apology Tour Episode Analysis/Prediction

Full Moon

The episode stars with Stolas and Blitz waking up on the day of the full moon. Their duet starts, Blitz sings how excited he is for their usual full moon date and the things he wants to to do Stolas in bed. Stolas is excited as well, but anxious. he wants to end their arrangement, and give Blitz to choice to stay or go.

Blitz arrives at imp headquarters. Blitz is in his formal clothes, ready for his and Stolas’ date. He puts Moxxie in charge, and leaves all of his paper work for Moxxie to deal with while he is gone (poor Moxxie).

But before visiting Stolas, Blitz wants to make their night extra special by giving Stolas a romantic gift. With his shopping bag in his hand, he goes to the lust ring asking Fizz for help to find the perfect gift for Stolas.

Blitz arrives at Stolas’ palace, the gift is in his hands what seems to be candles I think? Blitz thinks they’re going to go bed like usual, only to find out that this is not what’s going to happen. Stolas admits to ending the arrangement. Soon, an argument between the two breaks out.

Blitz feels used now that Stolas is ending their deal, thinking that Stolas doesn’t want him anymore. Their argument escalates. And instead of letting Stolas in, Blitz starts to push Stolas away by probably saying something very hurtful to him. Blitz now realizing that he has hurt Stolas badly, desperately tries to reach out to him by trying to grab his hand. But as he does so, Stolas kicks him out of his palace by using a portal. It’s too late now, Blitz has lost Stolas. Then the episode ends.

Viv has said that “You’re losing me” by Taylor Swift is a very Stolas coded song. A part of the lyrics goes like this:

“Now, you're runnin' down the hallway

And you know what they all say

You don't know what you got until it's gone”

By losing Stolas, Blitz realizes now what he had in Stolas and what he has lost. Or maybe he realizes this later in “Apology Tour”?

Apology Tour

(This one was really hard for me to predict. It could go in so many ways, so I’m most likely wrong.)

Blitz visits Stolas, probably to get back into Stolas’ good graces again. But Stolas is not having it. He is still very angry and hurt. He is obviously not happy to see Blitz again. “Do you feel any remorse for what you do?” Judging by this line, Blitz is likely downplaying everything and acting like nothing has happened (Like he did with Barbie). Either way, Blitz attempt to apologize and win Stolas back has failed. So he goes back home, and starts crying on the couch? (him crying on the couch could very well be from another episode)

Eventually, Stolas decides to join Verosika on tour. Verosika likely wants to help Stolas with his break up, and wants to give him a change to vent about Blitz and pour his heart out on stage. Blitz decides to go to Verosika’s concert for some reason. Maybe he goes to the concert to try to apologize to Stolas again? He did seemed to be really focused into trying to apologize to Stolas at the beginning of the ep, so is he is going to try again?

Blitz soon finds out he is not welcome at the concert, which is why he is dressed up as a ghost or something so he could sneak in unoticed? It’s a Halloween concert anyways. Eventually, Blitz bumps into Verosika. Maybe it will result in them finally making up and for Blitz to apologize to her?

The concert begins, and Stolas finally takes the stage. Unaware that Blitz is there, he starts to sing. Judging by the text on the banner, Stolas is singing about his grudge towards Blitz and how hurt he is. The scene with the shattered mirrors with Blitz’ reflection in it during Stolas’ song, also supports that it is possibly a grudge song. It could also be Stolas singing how hurt he is, rather than it being a grudge song, which seems more likely to me?

But maybe as the song progresses, it gradually turns into a love song because he loves Blitz just too much to stay angry at him? While Stolas is singing, Blitz is hearing every word. Blitz looks at him. Is he touched by Stolas’ love song? I think Blitz now knows that Stolas genuinely does love him, since Stolas doesn’t know he is there. So there are no reasons for Blitz to not believe everything Stolas is singing. Not just that, but it will also gave Blitz an insight on how much Stolas is hurting.

However, it seems that Stolas isn’t angry at Blitz anymore. Because in the next scene, Blitz and Stolas appears to be talking (Blitz still has that same ghost disguise on). Looks like Blitz apologized to Stolas, and that they are finally making up. Maybe even confessing their feelings for one another? Who knows, maybe decide to take things slow? It could also be that they just stay friends for now. But I feel like they’re definitely making up. The episode ends.

(Also There is also a whole b plot with m&m and Loona fighting a robot at the lust ring. Not sure if it’s from the same episode? Also I have literally no clue why the robot is there.)

Fun Fact: There is actually a reason for why Turles looks like Goku. And it's hysterical. I talk shit about Toei a lot but they understood the assignment on this one.

Lord Slug is my #1 Z film but Tree of Might is also conceptually a lot of fun. Even if they did call him "Turles" for some reason, rather than going with "Tullece" which everyone agrees does a better job of conveying the veggie pun.

This is the film's explanation for why Turles looks like an evil Goku. Low-class Saiyans like Goku and Turles all have a mass-produced factory-line uniformity to them. Vegeta is a $10,000 custom-made designer doll with carefully handwoven stitching, and Goku and Turles are $5 Barbies sitting on a shelf in Walmart.

I love this. I love that as a thematic piece of worldbuilding for Saiyans. Tragically, due to the movies being non-canon and having little involvement from Toriyama, this is not an official piece of Saiyan lore.

But I wish it was. Because I love that idea.

What the dub calls the Tree of Might is Shinseiju, made up of the components Shin (Godly) Sei (Sacred or Spiritual) Ju (Tree). It's a sacred bit of fauna meant only for consumption by gods. It's never explained how exactly Turles stole into heaven and made off with this; It's probably a reference to the Peaches of Immortality that Sun Wukong stole in Journey to the West.

(Funnily, to avoid mentioning Kami's divinity, the dub claims the fruit is meant for Shenron.)

This is some Galactus shit. The tree's fruit sustains gods by feeding on worlds. Once planted, the tree begins to cultivate its fruit by absorbing nutrients and water, as well as the genki of the living things on the planet.

You might recognize that word as a component of "Genki-Dama" or the Spirit Bomb. Genki is one of several components of ki. It's basically a person's physical wellness. There are other components like yuuki (bravery) or shouki (being in the right mind) that influence your ki as well.

This is how the film sets up Turles as Goku's evil counterpart. Goku is a heavenly martial artist, who has studied under gods and learned heavenly arts legitimately. Turles is a thief who somehow stole into the heavens and made off with Shinseiju.

The Genki-Dama is a mass of accumulated genki collected from all across the world, which Goku then uses to attack. Shinseiju does something similar, draining genki from across the planet to create a its special fruit.

Goku was born a low-class nobody but has improved himself through personal development physically, mentally, and spiritually. Turles, too, was born a low-class nobody, but he improves himself by looting the heavens and sacrificing worlds on the altar of himself.

Kaio warns Goku early on that the Earth is doomed. There is nothing he can do. Shinseiju cannot be destroyed. The coming apocalypse cannot be thwarted. All things will die and nothing can be done. The end is inevitable.

The rest of the film is an act of seemingly pointless defiance from Goku, who refuses to accept "Your world is doomed, it can't be stopped, there are no options, there is no hope," as an answer. The problem here isn't really Turles. He's the villain, but even if Goku could beat him, Shinseiju would still destroy the Earth.

The problem here is the invulnerable God Tree from a realm far beyond mortal life, that has laid down roots across the entire planet and shrugs off any and all forms of damage.

The movie pits Goku's heavenly arts against Turles's heavenly stolen loot. And Goku comes up short. Turles has Shinseiju's fruit.

And Goku has Kaio's signature art.

And when the two come to blows....

Fruit wins. In a straight arm-wrestling match, Turles's stolen goods have made him too strong for Goku's practiced arts and disciplined study. Even the Genki-Dama fails, because there's so little genki left for Goku to borrow from the Earth.

Get the hell out of here with this amateur hour horseshit. Kaio's greatest arts simply can't win against Turles and Shinseiju. In the battle of heavenly warriors, it genuinely seems as if Turles is superior.

But then Counter-Fighter Goku has an epiphany. The Earth is dying because Shinseiju is draining it of all of its genki, right? And the Genki-Dama works by drawing genki out of things, right? So. Like. Hear me out. What if I....

I genuinely love this moment. The movies have a serious problem with overuse of the Genki-Dama for conflict resolution, and I'll admit that. But. Like.

It's just like how Lord Slug's Solar Genki-Dama made use of a super-obscure piece of Dragon Ball lore for great thematic effect. Goku unmaking Shinseiju by letting the Genki-Dama's genki-accumulation effect drink the whole goddamn tree is a brilliantly clever application of a component of the technique we don't really think much about.

Goku can't draw genki from the Earth because Shinseiju took it all. So Goku uses the Genki-Dama to take it back.

Like. It's far from perfect. None of these movies really rise to the level of "good". But there's a lot of interesting or fun ideas that they have. And I think, in the broad strokes, the ideas put forth by Turles and Shinseiju, as well as Goku's conflict with them, are really interesting.

They needed a lot more polish to really tell a good and compelling story. But there's some diamonds to be found in this rough.

I Find Myself Running Home To Your Sweet Nothings

pairing [s] : jake seresin x reader

warning [s] : nothing much

a/n [s] : requests are open

Jake was a man of many deserving titles.

He was a Captain in the United States Navy, and he held his own Top Gun classes to teach graduates. He was highly respected and was understood to be hard as well not understanding if you had messed up and would have killed your team of pilots. However, who would have known the big and scary Jake Seresin was a family man? Jacob Seresin, the same guy who yells and the room goes quiet, carrying his sleeping daughter in his arms while he packs up the items he chose to bring to the park. The same guy who puts Barbie Band-Aids on his daughter’s knee whenever she jumps off a swing and scrapes her knee against the wood chippings.

Jake, your lovely husband, wakes you up with kisses and soft touches that lie on your skin for years to come. Jake Seresin who loves his sweet girls and gives kisses to his daughter’s head before she tackles school for the day to come. The Jake you fell in love with who drinks Pumpkin Spice Lattes the day they get released at Starbucks. The one who yells and screams at The Longhorns winning a football game. Jake Seresin, the man who has a heart big enough for hundreds of people that he carries with him every single day he lives. The guy who adds extra sugar and creamer to his coffee because of the bitterness of it.

You're in love; you're completely sure of it. The baby on your stomach that weighs on you is another reason why. The small boy sits on your chest, sound asleep with a hat on his small head and a one piece swimsuit. Your daughter and Jake are in the ocean, catching waves with their boogie boards as you stay back with your song, Theodore. He's small and tiny, only two months old. The heat of San Diego pushes through the canopy you have set up, making you sweat and Theo as well. You stand up and push against the beach chair and walk to the shore of the beach. The sun is high in the sky, the sunglasses you wear barely do much to stop the burning in your eyes.

The water is much cooler, but it only does so much to help the heat that radiates from Theo and the sun at the same time. Jake has a, particularly sleepy, Lily in his arms as she yawns. “Everyone is getting sleepy, huh?” You say as your children are laying against their father's toned chest as he pushes his hair back. He's hot and handsome, the water that drops done him gets you undeniably hot inside. “Lemme hold Theo.” He tells you and talks the s boy in his arms, lying him on his arm and head against his bicep. Lily and Josie start walking back to the tent and sit down, eating the snacks you had packed for them.

“He was so hot whenever he was laying on my chest. I had to get into the water.” Jake laughs and gives you a kiss against the lips. He smells and tastes like the ocean and salt water, as you almost gag at the taste. “Let’s get maybe.. 2 bags and take them to the house. We're allowed to keep the canopy and stuff on here because it's our private beach.” Jake tells you and you nod, taking Theo back in your arms as you watch Jake pick up things and put them in bags and pick them up gracefully before beginning to walk up the beach. Lily is talking with Josie about what they were going to watch on Netflix whenever they got back and you smiled happily. This is what you needed. A family. A caring family with people who have learned to live and support one another.

Jake is taking the things upstairs and you follow after him, before Theo starts to get fussy and upset about being in the heat and not his bed. Jake, a father of many years, quickly resumes his role and takes care of his son. “I love you.” You say as you watch him hold Theo in one arm and the bags in the other. “Love you too honey!” He shouts from your bedroom and you walk into him. The Jake Seresin you know and love, the one who changes diapers and gives raspberries to Theo’s stomach as he does so. It was a reprise of his Father's role for a new baby, and he was in it very well. It was the total he took more seriously than the Captain or the King of Darts at the bar. A father. A man who has children he loves and cares for them.

It was love and that is exactly what you loved. The domesticity makes you smile and stand on that edge of the doorway as you listen to whatever he has been saying. You love him: and he loves you. So much more than everyone else.

Pit Babe Colors Ep. 9

I'm challenging myself with this show and seeing how good my color skills really are, so I'm doing my normal thing of watching it double-speed on mute, but now, the captions are off also. It's just colors and vibes here. Also, I know way more than I intended because of comments and reblogs on previous posts, so I'm in the know now.

A Black Brooder and a (once fake) Blue Boy sit in a car probably declaring for the millionth time that they love each other while MY RED RASCAL IS STILL BEING HELD HOSTAGE!

Charlie and the Omegaverse Factory (except Jeffrey WHO IS STILL MISSING!)

"Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious."

This came up earlier but do they all live together and I missed that somewhere? They all have different houses, so why is Charles putting his hands on Alan now? Did he trick them to all live together so he can steal their powers easier? Does Alan even have powers? Do Northwest Kardashian and Sonic Drive-In have powers? So many questions! Don't tell me the answers. The chaos and confusion adds to the fun.

Why are you back at the reds alone, Barbara?!

Pete is a GOOD MAN. This situation looks gross as fuck, but he is wearing blue, so I already know my man is there for good reasons.

The truth is being revealed. They are in the light instead of the dark, and the blue is backing my man, so as the colors stated: Pete is a GOOD MAN! How? I don't know, but the colors don't lie.

Record scratch! Where did the red go?! That was the same way Barbara entered the reds house, and now the red is gone. *whispers* It's because Waymond is the red like episode three told us.

Whatever Waymond is saying is a lie. The red is surrounding Barbie! It's still there! YOU AREN'T SAFE, BARBIE!

BARBIE!

Waymond Brutus Fitzgerald, you don't have to do this. The blue is *right there* ho-migo. You can be a good guy. You don't have to be a red. Oh, God, no. WAYMOND, NO!

Nah. You had a choice, Waymond. You could have been blue like Pete, lying Charles, and (still-kidnapped?) Jeffery, but you picked this bullshit. I'm so mad at you. You don't deserve Peter. And Kimberly is the only red I respect.

We finally got a light (white-colored) Barbie, but at what cost?

Kentana, let me recap your fuck ups: you captured Jeffrey, you watched Kimberly get beat up, you conspired with Decanus to mess up Barbie's car, and now you are just standing there. I support queer wrongs, but you have yet to prove the "queer" part which is super important, so right now, you are just WRONG, and I can't support that. Kiss a man or sacrifice yourself because you are pissing me all the way off.

Northwest and Sonita are wearing more blue, but what the hell is up with that red around your neck Northwest?! I canNOT trust these two.

Nice to know your time being held hostage by the reds convinced you to commit to the blue, Jeffrey. By fucking time, sir.

Oh, Jeffrey seeing thangs! Decanus is bad. We been knowing that. But is that . . . Alan on the floor?! It has to be since the visions came after Jeffrey touched Alan. Oh no no. Wait, is that BARBIE?! They are the only two who wear tanks!

Kentana better be finally committing QUEER wrongs.

Nothing is going to happen to Charles. Color-coded boys in love get happy endings. But this was bound to happen once Barbara took off his glasses. Accidents happen when people who need glasses don't wear them. Next.

Jeffrey, why are you at the kids table? Are you turning bad. AGAIN!

Who is holding the gun? Does Big Red have a bracelet like that? Why do y'all keep walking back into this damn house like y'all won't die! *whispers* because they won't

Big Red uses swords not guns?

I know it was Way being punched by Barbie earlier, but is this Whiny Winifred?! Let that be a win for us! Because that better not be Kimberly. It. Better. Not. Be. But secret third option: Waymond since he has been the red in hiding.

The red is still around you two newly-reformed Blue Boys. The danger is always there.

Wait! Jeffrey! No! You committed to the blue! Is this why you were surrounded by red?! You were going to go back! WHY?! ALAN LOVES YOU!

Vegas' Hedgehog, why are you wearing orange?! Is your superpower to annoy me? At least Northwest loves you. Are y'all discussing Jeffrey going back to Big Red?! Nah. Alan is too calm. AND DECANUS IS THERE?! I thought he left the team after that race?! Jeffrey will not be pleased with this hug unless Jeffrey really is back to being red. Wait! Is Dean back because Jeffrey told Big Red to send him back! Urgh! For everyone to be a secret red, y'all trust way too many folks. I hate when the plot isn't plotting the way I thought it was plotted.

Even the product placement must fit into the blue vs. red theme. Good!

SONIC, YOU MOTHERF*CKER! I SWEAR TO GOD!

Oh! Charles' spidey sense is tingling. Does that mean danger is near? No! It means you two are going to have sex. AGAIN! Kimberly is dying, but continue with your light vs. dark dynamic. Glad to see you back to your dark ways, Barbara.

Well, at least Whiny Winifred has one win under his belt for the reds before he (hopefully) bleeds red aka DIES!

I hit my picture limit, but next week, Dean is bad (Pikachu face), Waymond gets his ass beat, as he should, and the show is really trying to make us believe Barbara or Charles are going to get into a serious crash which AIN'T happening because they have superpowers and are color coded, so . . . they'll be fine. Oh, and Sonic Boom Boom is wearing blue again just to irritate me before he wears coral or some shit, but all I care about is

WHERE IS KIM POSSIBLE?!

When Kimberlina gets free, because he WILL get free, he needs to run so far away from these people. He better not join the blue racing team. They are too busy being fake and having sex. Kimbers, you deserve better than this.

[yukidragon]

I love to hear more of your headcanons on Bo in Mafia AU! Also what would happen if Bo's puppy doesn't want to be his in that AU?

It's been a while since I touched on the Mafia AU hasn't it? And that was before I created my version of Bo's puppy, Barbie too. This ask does make me wonder how their interaction might go in this AU.

In the main universe, Barbie's attraction towards Bo, at least at the start, was pretty shallow, all things considered. He was more like a fun adult toy that she grew fond of until eventually that fondness grew into genuine love. It's hard to blame her though, since he quite literally is a toy. She pretty much treated him like many people treat AI bots - a fun diversion, but nothing to take seriously. It was only when he forced her to realize that his feelings are just as real as hers that she truly saw him as a person.

Barbie is a self-proclaimed misanthrope. She's not fond of humanity in general. She can't stand noisy places or being in crowds. It takes a while for her to warm up to people, which leaves her with few people she cares about outside of her immediate family. It's also why she's very fierce if someone hurts her family. Fictional relationships were the closest thing she was interested in when it came to romantic or sexual pursuits.

In the Mafia AU, Bo is an actual human being, even if he's got some pretty distinct canine features. More than that, he's a wise guy working for a mafia boss (Jack); not really someone who is safe for normal people to get involved with. Add in Barbie's default mistrust of people, and Bo in this universe is going to have a steep uphill battle to overcome in order to win his puppy's heart.

Since I've started fleshing out the King family more, it would be good to reexamine their roles in this Aphrodesia-influenced AU, don't you think? It'll be especially interesting to consider how they'll react to Alice being kidnapped by a human trafficking ring, and the scars that incident left behind on her when she finally sees them again.

Content warnings: this post will contain mentions of violence, torture, human trafficking, SA, drugs, and sex. Overall I'll try to keep any uncomfortable descriptions to a minimum, and ramp up the spice where I can. Remember, Something's Wrong with Sunny Day Jack, DachaBo, and Aphrodesia are all stories for Adults Only. NSFW elements will be touched on!

Traffic Stop

The broad strokes of the AU are basically the same as from the first post. Alice and her family originally lived a normal, happy life, far and away from the crime-invested city of St. Valen's. She and Ian grew up as childhood friends. Things seemed to be going down the same route it did in the regular universe, with puppy love developing between them that might turn into something more.

The divergence happened when they were both still in high school. There was a person going around their school, looking for acting talent. It was somewhat shady. Alice wasn't sure about going, but Ian wanted, no, needed to seize the opportunity to achieve his dream. The talent scout remarked that he had a nice face, both of them did. They would go far. They just had to audition.

It was flattery that Ian couldn't resist.

Of course Ian's mom wasn't going to let him do such a thing, so they had to sneak out. Ian didn't want to risk his mom finding out from her parents, so he convinced Alice to lie to her parents that they'd be out with friends.

As you might suspect already, this audition was a trap sprung by human traffickers. They pick young and vulnerable people who look like they can't fight back, lure them someplace isolated, nab them, and ship them off someplace to be sold for, well, less than savory purposes. While initially both of them were caught in the trap, Alice managed to help Ian escape.

Ian's greatest regret was that he ran away, that he didn't stay to rescue Alice like she did him. Even though she told him to run, to get help, Ian still felt like a coward. It was made worse when by the time he returned with authorities, the traffickers were already gone.

Needless to say, this incident still haunts Ian to the present day, crushing him under the weight of his guilt.

This incident replaces the cheating Ian does in the main universe, and Alice being trafficked replaces the SA incident she went through. While Alice mercifully didn't get SA'd during the trafficking, she was a victim of a "red room" after being taken and sold in St. Valen's. A "red room," for those unaware, is a type of livestream on the dark web, where innocent victims are tortured according to an audience's bids.

I won't go into detail about all the horrors Alice experienced, since the scars speak for themselves. Fortunately, she managed to be clever and lucky enough to escape. Luckier still, she managed to stumble into a member of the Sunny Family, and said family just happened to have a vendetta against the gang that was behind the trafficking.

St. Valens is full of people who showed up out of nowhere, and others who don't ask or care where they came from. There's plenty of corruption, people looking the other way, and shady deals going on. The Sunny Family might be relatively better than most crime families, but at the end of the day, they're pretty shady. They helped her out by rescuing her, even paying her hospital bills and taking her under their wing, so now she owed them.

Alice could contact her family, have them pay back her hefty debt... or she, now an 18 year old adult, could do some favors for the family. Her medical bills were insane - St. Valen's isn't exactly kind to the less fortunate when it comes to medical care - it would bankrupt her family.

It was a classic hustle, presenting a vulnerable person like Alice with potentially devastating consequences, or an out by someone who is wearing a kind and smiling face. I'm inclined to have that representative of kindness from the family be Mama Shine, who was so kind and empathetic, just wanting to help Alice after she went through so much. Working for them wouldn't be that big a deal, especially since they were the ones who rescued her and all the other trafficking victims...

That's the classic Sunny Family con. They smile, act kind, extend their gloved hands to help, offering salvation to poor souls down on their luck. They are then indebted to the family. They need the family. Alice needed a prescription of drugs that they could give to her regularly for all her pain, far cheaper than the healthcare system would.

Shine had taken an interest in Alice, helping her while she was rehabilitated in the hospital. She could've been the one who Alice ran into that night when bloody and desperate for help. Shine is so caring, just like Alice's mother, having that same warm motherly aura. So trustworthy and kind...

It was a far less violent trap that ensnared Alice a second time into this world of crime, but this time she didn't realize the cage was around her, or that she couldn't leave it, until she was in far, far too deep. Her vulnerability was exploited, and she signed a contract that she shouldn't.

The King family were so relieved when Alice finally contacted them... but confused when she told them she couldn't go home. She was receiving medical treatment and needed to stay in the city, and she had debts to pay...

Naturally, her family isn't going to take this without a fight. The King family immediately took a road trip to St. Valen's to see Alice at the hospital.

Lycoris is a fierce mama bear, and she was enraged when Alice was kidnapped, doing everything in her power to find her baby. So despite Shine acting kind and friendly, she was ready to throw down from the word go. Lycoris is a small lady, but she can be very scary, though, sadly, not as scary as an entire crime family.

None of the King family were happy with what had happened to Alice, the debt she had to repay, or that she had already signed a deceptively scary contract. However, the Sunny Family is the most dangerous crime family in the city for a reason, and the King family were in over their heads.

Not that the King family knew they were facing a crime family. The Sunny Family has a reputation to uphold after all. They're a family-run business. Many details were left out or unspoken, all to hide what was really going on behind their squeaky clean image.

The King family did involve the legal system, but that was a failure. The Sunny Family owns the police in St. Valen's. The police just informed them that everything was legal, Alice is an adult who can make her own choices, and there's no better family to work for than the Sunny Family. Plus, Alice was going to need the drug they provided for the rest of her life, so wasn't this a sweet deal anyway? They should just feel grateful that she was rescued. Not a lot of trafficked teens are...

In the end, the King family was powerless, and Alice became a member of the Sunny Family with a debt that seemed never ending.

Barbie vs the World

Needless to say, Barbie was pretty much spitting nails about the whole thing. Even if the Sunny Family was putting on a smiling face and rescued her older sister, so generously providing Alice with needed medical treatment for the foreseeable future, she raged against the entire situation. Unfortunately, being a teen younger than 18 at the time, she was left with a feeling helpless and frustrated. She raged at her parents for "giving up" on bringing Alice home safely even though they didn't have a choice.

Naturally, with Barbie not being the biggest fan of the Sunny Family, she's going to be wary of anyone working for them. Bo has quite the reputation in the city of St. Valens as their enforcer, so he's got quite a steep uphill climb to take if he wants to earn his puppy's love.

Barbie was already the type to play fast and loose with laws, and this entire affair killed all faith she had in the justice system. In the main universe, she's a programmer and hacker. In this universe, she focused more on the hacking aspect. She snuck behind her parents' back, doing very illegal things online to get more money to pay back the debt to the Sunny Family and free her big sister.

So, years later, while Alice gained experience in the Sunny Family as a sniper, Barbie became a skilled hacker, going by many aliases online. By her early/mid-twenties, she used a particular handle when making things difficult for the Sunny Family - Clown Killer. She became quite notorious among the Sunny Family, and a thorn in their side online.

Of course, Barbie had to prioritize not getting caught above any victory. If the Sunny Family knew that she was the one making things hard for them, it would put Alice in danger. Her primary focus with her hacking and other shady dealings online was to get money to repay the debt, but whenever they would just miss repaying the full amount, or something else tacked onto it to keep Alice in that debt, Barbie couldn't help but want to vent her frustrations as Clown Killer.

Barbie has learned quite a lot about the members of the Sunny Family, but could never quite gather enough evidence that would convict any of its bigger members. Their reputation was so squeaky clean. She especially had an axe to grind against Shine, who never once lost that "sweet and gentle" motherly aura while making it clear to her all those years ago that Alice wouldn't be coming home. She knew behind that sweet smile was a ruthless criminal, but she could never peel back that smiling mask to expose the truth.

The King parents are trying all they can to help Alice, saving up money on their side. They visit the city as often as they can to see her and offer support. If one of them could've taken her place, they would, but with Alice needing regular medical treatment from the city, and Shine taking a shine to her in particular... she was going to be stuck in the city no matter what.

Plus, there are other children in the King family who needed their parents too, Coraline especially. She also needed medical treatments... treatment that the Sunny Family offered to provide. In spite of the protests of her parents about adding to the debt, Alice wanted to help her little sister. Besides, the Sunny Family were treating her well... right?

Well, Alice insisted they did. Her family was already worried enough without knowing how how her job's "duties" slowly became a bit more involved over time, a bit more violent, and a lot more bloody.

Barbie did learn of some of the things Alice was hiding from them because of her hacking, and it infuriated her that her big sis was hiding secrets now too. Their parents told her to not worry about the debt, that it wasn't her responsibility, but fuck that! It's not Alice's responsibility either! She was the victim in all of this! The Sunny Family aren't a wholesome family running businesses, they're manipulative criminals, and Barbie is going to destroy them!

Although Barbie spends much of her time as a recluse, she does visit Alice in St. Valen's from time to time. It's how she crossed paths with a certain dog that the Sunny Family keeps on a tight leash.

The Sunny Family's Hunting Dog

As mentioned before, Bo is working for the Sunny Family as Jack's right hand man. He's an enforcer who enjoys his job. He especially enjoys the thrill of the chase, hunting down a target before brutalizing them up close and personal with his fists and fangs. Of course, he also knows how to handle a gun as well as a few other weapons. He also knows some unconventional means to torture someone if need be.

Bo has excellent hacking skills of his own, as a nod to his AI counterpart in the main universe, but he prefers to get hands on with his target whenever possible. He's aware of the hacker Clown Killer that's giving the Sunny Family some headaches, but they always evade his attempts to catch them in cyberspace, much to his frustration. They become something of a rival, his white whale that he's eager to conquer once and for all.

Not only does Bo have a lust for violence, he's also a very, very horny dog. He has slept around quite a lot, though his relationships never last. He never quite connects with anyone. He gets mistaken for only having a talent for senseless violence, the dumb muscle of the gang who is also is some good eye candy, when he's a lot smarter than his wild behavior might imply. There's a reason why he's Jack's second in command after all...

Alice intrigues Bo, simply because of how Jack is practically obsessed with her. In many ways, Jack is a rival of Bo's, being his "master" who he wants to one day be free of. Seeing Jack bend over backwards to win the heart of just some random sucker who got sweet talked into debt confuses the hell out of him. He wants to know what it is about Alice that draws Jack in... and if he can use that to his advantage.

Alice isn't a fan of Bo's constant teasing, and she hates the nickname of "squeaky toy" that he uses for her. It's in reference to how he loves to sneak up on her and startle her, causing her to squeak in surprise. Bo is really good at sneaking up on his prey, so her reaction is pretty fun.

Still, no matter how many times Bo pops in on Alice unexpectedly, he doesn't quite see what draws Jack in. Sure, she's surprisingly soft despite this hard life of crime, which is a novelty, but it's not something special. She's attractive, sure, but there's plenty just as attractive as her, if not more. He wants to dig deeper, interrogate her more, maybe even seduce her, but whenever he pushes just a little too far, Jack pulls on his metaphorical leash. Hard.

The intrigue keeps Bo coming back to ruffle Alice's feathers despite the risk. It's also why he suddenly pops up at Alice's place while Barbie is visiting one day.

Barbie is surprisingly tall compared to Alice, but Bo can see and smell the family blood between them. She's got these eyes that stand out - both of them blue and brown at the same time. She also has this cutting stare like she wants to carve open his guts. It's actually hilarious that a powderpuff from the suburbs could think she has a chance at even leaving a scratch on an alpha like him. It intrigues him enough to have a little fun teasing her as well.

Barbie shuts down Bo's flirting instantly. It trips him up a bit, as Bo knows he's a good looking guy. He's not used to being turned down in such a harsh manner, especially by someone as powerless as a puppy. He'd be offended if it wasn't so ridiculous.

When Barbie learns that Bo works with Alice, and as such is part of the Sunny Family, her dislike turns into outright hostility. She's not even hiding it either, though Alice rushes in to keep the conversation more or less civil.

After leaving the apartment, Bo decided to case the place until Barbie left. He wanted to tease her a little, scare this spoiled little pampered suburban pet before she barks at someone big and nasty who is more than ready to bite back. Despite his attempts to intimidate her, Barbie didn't even flinch, even when he made a subtle threat, just to see how she would react. Not even that shook her resolve. In fact, she warned him that if he hurt Alice, hell would feel like a sunny vacation spot compared to what she would do to Bo and the rest of the damned Sunny Family.

The threat tickled Bo instead of intimidating him, and Barbie fumed at the way he laughed her off.

It was in that exchange that Bo found himself a new toy to tease. He called Barbie puppy whenever he encountered her. She barked big, but she had no idea just how tiny and helpless she really was compared to him in his eyes. It was cute really, and he found great delight in teasing her.

However, though Bo was amused by their banter, Barbie was anything but. His teasing just made her hate him all the more.

A Hungry Dog

Over time Bo's attraction towards Barbie grows. He stops flirting with Alice, though he still teases her, mostly to learn more about Barbie and how he might win Barbie over. He feels less satisfied with the people he sleeps around with, thinking of Barbie more. He even starts imagining that it's her he's sleeping with, which kills the moment for him and leaves him feeling unfulfilled and horny.

At some point during this, Bo finds out the identity of the infamous Clown Killer. It's surprising, but so fitting that he can't help but laugh when he realizes it's none other than his puppy. My, my, such a naughty puppy too, getting up to so much mischief. It'd be a shame to let anyone else know. Then he wouldn't be able to play with her more.

It's that realization that his greatest rival is the woman who has been intriguing him that turns his attraction into downright obsession. Bo wants to conquer Barbie in every sense of the word, tame this wild puppy and make her whimper and beg for his loving touch.

Bo has obscene fantasies about the various ways he can conquer and tame Barbie. It's the more extreme side of the lines from the game, where he wants her on his leash, to be at his beck and call, ready for him whenever he wants her. (Which quickly becomes all the time, really. The man is so horny he makes Jack seem reserved.) He wants her always by his side, in his lap, hot and whining for him, begging him to take her in every one of her pretty little holes like the dirty puppy he knows that she really is. He wants to make her see that she's powerless before him and beg him to take her, to protect her. Only he can have her.

Unfortunately for Bo, Barbie isn't someone who is turned on by a self-proclaimed alpha asshole who teases her just because he's good looking and desires her. Every time he tries to proposition her or seduce her, he gets rejected, much to his increasing frustration.

It brings out Bo's yandere side more and more. He tries different schemes to win Barbie over. He would use his power and influence to impress her, make her see how much he can provide for her. He tries to show off how good looking he is, entice her to at least want his body if nothing else.

Barbie doesn't want any of it. She knows there are strings attached to anything Bo offers her. The only thing she wants is for the Sunny Family to let Alice go and never, ever bother her or the rest of their family ever again.

Sadly, that's the one thing Bo can't influence with his pull, even if he was willing to let Barbie go. Jack isn't ever going to let Alice go. Worse, he can't even pretend he's going to try and separate them, not when Alice starts dating Jack.

Barbie doesn't buy that Alice is happy with Jack. She doesn't buy Jack's super nice and generous millionaire sweetheart from a sappy romance novel schtick. After everything she's gone through to save her sister from that damn Sunny Family, there's no way Barbie is just letting Alice stay with them.

Jack is just another smiling liar, just like his mother Shine who talked Alice into signing that contract in the first place.

Bo can use this hatred for Jack though. He can try to show Barbie that he's on her side, that while he works for Jack, that doesn't mean he wants to stay a part of the Sunny Family.

In spite of Barbie's hatred, she did have encounters with Bo where he showed his softer side. St. Valen's is a dangerous place, especially for someone who has never killed before. Barbie resents being in Bo's debt even as she's grateful when he saves her life. Bo had Barbie squares away this debt with dates, which she very reluctantly accepted with the stipulation that he never touches her unless she explicitly gives him permission.

On these dates, Bo tries taking a play from Jack's book and acting more polite, more gentle with Barbie. It doesn't win her over, since she doesn't trust it, but she's not as openly hostile. Barbie also uses these dates as an attempt to sneak info on the sly that she could use against the family. It's kind of cute to Bo, that she thinks she's so slick, but she's a lot better at hiding her real motives online than she is in person. She has such a lousy poker face.

But it's cute too that she doesn't hide her real feelings. The more time Bo spends with Barbie, the more he wants her. Her scent is so appealing, so delicious. He wants to nibble on her skin, or at least get just a little lick. It's almost like she was made to drive him crazy. She's so fierce, so loyal to her family, and so in over his head. The small moments that he gets in past her walls where she softens to him, just a little, oh that makes his hope burn brighter, hotter.

Still, for every step closer he takes, something seems to pull them apart again. Usually that something is Bo and the criminal life he lives with the Sunny Family.

Puppy Love

Before Bo realizes it, he is helplessly in love, completely obsessed. It's Jack who infuriatingly points out to him that Barbie has become his weakness. Despite Bo insistence on being a lone wolf that doesn't need anybody, he is desperate to make Barbie, that grumpy barking puppy, his mate.

Which works in Jack's favor. After all, if Alice's family gets closer to his family, then she won't ever want to leave. He can also have Bo indebted to him for helping Bo win over the untamed heart of Barbie.

Barbie isn't going to make it easy for Bo, even with Jack's help. Like Alice, Barbie is on the aroace spectrum. She has to trust Bo in order to start developing real feelings for him, and it's going to take a lot of effort to get her to trust him.

Also, Barbie is the type to take charge. In the main universe, she's the one who holds Bo's leash. He might be the alpha dog, but he bows down at her feet. I imagine until she can feel secure in her dominance over Bo and trust that his love for her is stronger than his allegiance to the Sunny Family, she's not going to feel anything remotely close to attraction when it comes to him.

Still, Barbie and Bo are one of my ships, and it'd be a shame if they didn't eventually sail, even in this darker AU. It's just going to be a very slow burn.

It'll burn even slower if Bo gives in to his frustration and yandere impulses to force his puppy to stay with him. Only by rolling over and showing his soft belly will he stand a chance of seeing Barbie's softer side as well.

A bad end to their storyline would no doubt be Bo forcing Barbie to be his, through blackmail, debt, or both. Even in that situation, she wouldn't simply just submit. Trying to overpower her isn't going to win Barbie's love. Instead it'll just make her bear her fangs and fight back even more. The harder he forces her, the more desperately she fights, and the closer he pushes them both to their mutual destruction.

Of course, I'm a sucker for happy endings. So while Barbie isn't going to make it easy for Bo, I do like the idea that in spite of everything, Bo manages to slowly show her there's more to him than a blood-thirsty, horny killer. He's someone who loves deeply, is loyal, and would do anything to please her. His love for her is more real and pure than anything else he found in the city of St. Valen's, and despite all his dreams of becoming top dog, there's nothing he wants more than to be loved by his puppy.

Bo might hate to be on a leash, but he'll find it's not so bad when Barbie is the one holding onto it instead of Jack. In fact, when she's confidently in charge, she'll be a lot more inclined to reward her big bad alpha dog with some treats.

Oh, and naturally, Bo wouldn't be Bo without his breeding/seeding fetish. Once he and Barbie finally get together, he's going to want to knock her up immediately with his pups. He never gave serious thought about having kids before, but that's only because he never found someone he wanted as his mate before. He really hopes the pups his puppy gives him will have her pretty heterochromatic eyes.

I think we can wrap things up there for now. I hope you enjoyed another visit to this multi-crossover mafia AU. Let me know if you want to hear even more about this AU or any of my other story ideas and characters.

More fluffy holiday goodness!!

Summary: Carmelo asks the reader out on a date for the holidays which results in the reader inviting Melo to come fill out Angel Tree tags with her.

"Ouch!" You mock Cora from your position standing over her. "Better luck next time skater Barbie." You tease her with a wink. 

Cora holds the back of her head with a sour sneer on her face. She moves into a sitting position and watches you walk off with the NXT women's championship hung proudly over your shoulder. She lost fair and square against you. And on a Holiday show no less. 

You head through the curtain and find Carmelo waiting around for you with Trick. Trick flashes you a friendly smile before his entrance music hits and he has to head out to the ring. Carmelo on the other hand, stays behind and steps over to you. 

"Y/N, baby. Nice win out there, mean girl." He congratulates you on your win against Cora. 

"Thanks, Melo." You roll your eyes playfully at his nickname. "Got any plans for the holiday?" You ask him. 

Melo licks his lips with a cool and confident smile. "Well, that depends. What are you up to this weekend, baby?" He asks you. 

You laugh and shake your head at his forwardness. "Nothing that you'd be interested in. Trust me." You assure him. 

"Yeah? Don't be too sure about that." Carmelo replies. "Come on. Y/N. What are your plans?" He asks again. 

"Well, if you must know." You reply. "I'm planning on going around the area and filling out as many Angel tree tags as possible before I go broke." You explain. 

A perplexed look crosses Carmelo's face and you have to stifle a laugh. "Angel tree tags?" He looks for clarification. 

"Mhm." You nod. "There those trees with the tags on them in stores? If you're a struggling parent who can't spare the extra money to get your kids any gifts then you fill one out and someone like me takes the tag and buys stuff for you." You explain the gist of the tags. 

"Oh," Carmelo replies. "Damn, that's really nice of you, Y/N." He admits. "I didn't expect that from little Miss Mean Girl." He chuckles. 

You laugh with Carmelo and nod. "My mean girl attitude is just a work persona." You giggle. "I could use a shopping partner if you're interested, you know?" You offer. "Sure, it's not exactly a conventional date. But you get to spend time with me so all the money you spend will be worth it." 

"Why not?" Carmelo shrugs with a chuckle. "I don't mind dropping some cash for kids in need." 

"Great!" You grin. "It's a date then. I'll text you later and we can meet up for coffee in the morning." You add. 

Carmelo nods and you part ways for the night. 

Later, Trick comes back from his escapades in the ring and finds Carmelo texting you about tomorrow. "So you finally scored a date with, Y/N?" He asks Melo. 

"Sort of." Melo nods. "Have you ever heard of an Angel Tree?" He asks his friend. 

"Yeah, sure." Trick nods. "It's one of those charity things that help get poor kids and their families Christmas gifts." He explains. 

Carmelo nods and finishes his text to you. "Y/N's got me going with her fill a bunch of them out tomorrow. She was just telling me that she does it every year for Christmas."He explains. 

"Y/N? Charity?" Trick laughs. "Damn. I didn't know the mean girl got all sentimental around the holidays." He jokes. 

"Me either." Carmelo laughs with him. 

The next morning Carmelo is up early and meets you at some coffee place that you told him about last night. He heads inside and spots you already sitting at a table with a hot coffee in hand. 

"Y/N, morning baby." Carmelo walks over to your table. 

"Melo! You made it." You smile up at him. "Grab something to drink! We've got a long day of shopping ahead of us." 

Carmelo chuckles at your eager smile and orders himself a drink before joining you again. You show him a list of stores in the area that have trees and suggest one to start the morning. 

"Yeah, sounds like a plan." Carmelo goes along with your plan. 

You and Carmelo head to the first store on your list and it doesn't take long for you to find the tree. You look through a few of the tags a pick a couple of them out. 

"Alright, so basically you just look through the tags and pick one or two of them. The tag has some basic information on it. What kind of stuff the kid likes, their age, and what size clothes they wear if you want to get them some clothes." You explain. 

"Right." Carmelo nods and pulls a few tags off the tree. 

With your tags and carts ready to go you and Carmelo head out and start shopping. The two of you walk side-by-side down the aisles and help one another pick stuff out. 

You get distracted looking for a specific girl's toy in the aisle and Carmelo can't help but crack a genuine smile at how intense you seem. 

"Hey, Y/N," Carmelo speaks up and grabs your attention. 

"Hmm?" You stand back up straight with the right toy in hand. "What's up, Melo?"

Carmelo grabs the toy from you and sets it in his cart with the rest of his stuff before answering. "So, what made you get into this?" He can't help but ask. 

"Christmas was always my favorite time of year when I was a kid." You shrug. "My mom never really had the money to get me that much. But it was still special every year, opening presents and spending time with her." You explain. "So I guess I just like the thought of helping out those tired and worried moms make their kids' Christmas as special as mine were." 

"Damn. That's really sweet, Y/N." Carmelo replies. 

You blush a bit and the two of you return to the task. Hours and a few hundred dollars later, you and Carmelo have all of your things sorted and ready to be delivered. 

"Well, I'd call this a productive day." You finish up the last bag. 

"I agree. This is probably the best $400 I've ever spent." Carmelo agrees. "Thanks for bringing me out and letting me help, Y/N." He adds. 

You blush again and nod. "Of course! I had fun shopping around with you." 

"Me too." Carmelo agrees. "Hey, do you want to grab dinner after these are all dropped off? My treat, of course." He asks you. 

"Sure! Dinner sounds great." You eagerly nod. "Maybe we can talk about doing something for the actual holiday?" You suggest. "If you don't already have plans." 

Carmelo chuckles and shakes his head. "I'm wherever you are, baby."

@rattatoinger

saw someone do something similar and got motivated lol

I present to you…Albert rates F1!!! ( but they know nothing )

(parentheses is my input)

Oscar Piastri: He’s so me! He kind of looks like a side character in a Disney movie, he looks like the best friend of a Disney original movie whose there for like the first 10 minutes of the movie and then you never see him again. He’s silly.

Lando Norris: He has very strange unexplainable vibes. If he was next to me on a bus I’d scoot away. If he was my Uber driver I would play those “play this if you feel unsafe” audios. He also looks like he’s gonna have a mental breakdown. One curly fry in his normal fries away from ending it all. Probably be really good at the uncanny valley trend ( for some reason ).

George Russell: He looks like a middle school boy. Like an elementary school boy. He looks like when you open Facebook and there’s just a random kid. Looks like he’s the little brother of someone at a pta meeting. He made everyone play airplanes with him at recess. Looks like he’d help an old lady across the street but the wrong way.

Lewis Hamilton: Looks like a Dhar Mann actor. Would go on strike. “So you see…” If you stared at him for too long his eye would start twitching. Would flip if you ask him if he’s okay after that. Would be bandit in that one obstacle course bluey episode where he cheats and throws bluey to win.

Charles Leclerc: If he sneezed too hard his hair would jump off and crawl away. A creature. Polite, but a creature nonetheless. Really nice and great but if he stubbed his toe he’d start speaking in tongues. ( When showed a picture of a younger Charles ): he looks like that kid who cried cause his cat was gonna get sold.

Carlos Sainz: gives off the vibe of the guy who green screens himself onto the TikTok thirst traps. If I was in a coffee shop and he was behind me in line I’d get out of line to get away from him.

Max Verstappen: If there was a Minecraft movie he’d play Steve. Really square ( not sure if that’s a compliment ). Would give up his bus seat to a pregnant mother. Delightful. Would be scared of snap bracelets.

Sergio Perez: ( There was silence for a good minute ). Looks like the male version of “A single mom who works two jobs, who loves her kids and never stops.” Tucks phantom hair behind his ear and bats his eyelashes.

Logan Sergeant: Looks like Preston plays. Looks like he gets called a meow meow on tumblr. Would insist on watching horror movies but then scream and hide behind the couch when anything remotely scary happens. If he smiled really wide all of his molars would be gold teeth.

Alex Albon: He looks like if Mikey from tmnt was a person. Would partake in the trend where people do the spin and their boyfriends run in and grab them. Would have eaten glue as a kid. Gives off square marble vibes. Spoon in the fork drawer. Would also give up his seat to a pregnant mother.

Fernando Alonso: He has the human eyes that dogs have. Wouldn’t scoot away, I would just get nervous everytime he moves. At least once in his life has held out a hat for a penny.

Lance Stroll: Looks like he posts TikTok thirst traps but all the comments are making fun of him. Would turn around and say “so erm…that just happened.” Give the waiter a stink eye if they took too long to get his water. The villain in the Dhar Mann universe. Would be given a shitty redemption arc that doesn’t redeem him.

Esteban Ocon: ( Would have said toxic masculinity but saw the photo of him with the face mask things on ). Looks like he glued his hair back on. Looks like nat the rat from Barbie island princess. Why does he have an eagle? Looks like he was born in 2017 and never left. Also gives off “erm…so that just happened.”

Pierre Gasly: Is he ugly on purpose?

Yuki Tsunoda: I like him! Looks like he’d be mischaracterized by an entire fandom. Would be called “a little bean” and never be able to escape it. Guides an old lady across the street but the right way. Tried an ouija board and got cursed. Would say he’s a pro gamer but only plays fortnite and is kinda bad.

Daniel Ricciardo: Coquette. Looks like he sings the song that goes “Baby lock them doors and turns them lights down low.” Gives off the vibes of the “ROOTBEER” guy. ( when shown one specific picture ) LOOKS LIKE THE THUMB PEOPLE FROM SPY KIDS.

Nico Hulkenberg: Looks like a street interviewer. “Reminds me of Johnny Bravo as well” If Johnny Test was raised in a normal family with good values. Looks like a very distant cousin twice removed of Gordon Ramsey. Unironically listens to Ed Sheeran and plays it REALLY loud. You’d catch him humming “Shape of You” Looks like he’d go to a library solely for picture books. The uncle that only shows up to weddings and gets absolutely wasted. He probably ate his twin in the womb.

Kevin Magnussen: Thought his name was Kevin Magnussy. Is always in pain, even just a little bit. Turned 9 and went “augh my knees…” Eats garnishes off dishes ( forced to specify: grabs them full force with closed fist, gripping it, shoves it into his mouth and then goes back to normal ). If you tried to tell him about your interests he’d go “haha yeah” and walk away. Looks like he’d say “Don’t kill yourself…You’re so sexy haha”

Zhou Guanyu: ( When learning about his cat ) Sweetcorn? That’s cute! Would hear about controversial topics but does not research. He definitely posts fake paparazzi videos. Reminds me of the baby in the sardines commercial in cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

Valterri Bottas: Looks like Bertram. Drinks the ink out of pens ( force to specify: would drink the ink out of pens, you’d come back and ask him where it went, deny involvement but all of the ink would pour out of his mouth ). Looks like he purposefully goes into target and scratches the bottoms of Stanley cups off to give everyone lead poisoning.

Cowboy Costumes?

Chad Meeks-Martin x reader (gender not specified but does talk about female costumes)

warnings: established relationship, cursing, this is obviously before ghostface, suggestive talks/jokes, and that’s it hope you enjoy my lovers 🤍

scream masterlist

Summary: Chad and Y/N trying to figure out their costumes for the Halloween party

posted: May 30,2023

“Cowboy costumes? Really Chad? You can’t be original?” You and Chad are on the living room floor coming up with different costumes for the Halloween party coming up. Every year you guys show out in a cute couples costume. One year you were Bonnie and Clyde. Another year you were Barbie and Ken. And last year you were Draculaura and Clawd Wolfe. And those were all somewhat original. Also not that it matters but we won best couple costume each year. And now he wants to do sexy cowboys.

“None of our costumes were original!” You just shook your head. “Draculaura and Clawd were very original! And all the other ones were your idea!” We just kept going back and forth and Ethan walked in. He tried walking out but you saw him before he could escape.

“Ethan!”

‘damn.’ He said under his breath. “Uh yeah?”

“So you remember our costumes right?” He nods. “Yeah all of them why?”

“So Chad here thinks that none of our costumes are original.”

“But all of them were his idea and the Monster high one you guys did was your idea and was very original.”

You laughed. “Ha!”

He rolled his eyes. “Ok but Ethan don’t you think that sexy cowboys would win?”He said while getting up and putting a hand on Ethan’s shoulder. He nodded. “Yeah it would but not for the right reasons.”

“I love how Ethan is on my side.” You said smiling.

“Ok that’s enough of you Ethan Landry.” Chad said pointing to Ethan’s room. He walked to his room.

“Ok babe what costume were you thinking anyway?” He said going back to your side.

“Oh! Woody and Bo Peep.”

His eyes just narrowed. “So you don’t want us to be sexy cowboys but you want us to be a cowboy and a sheep girl.” You nodded with a smile still on your face. “We are not being children characters on Halloween.”

“Chad baby that’s literally what Halloween is.”

You had a point.

“But baby sexy cowboys!” You just looked at him not amused. “Listen I’m going to be shirtless with a cowboy hat and you-.”

“You’re going to be shirtless? You- you didn’t say you would be shirtless.”

He nodded. “ Yeah but if you have a problem with that then we can be Woody-.” You shook your head. “No! No. It’s completely fine with me.” He looked at you skeptically. “Are you changing your mind because Ima be shirtless.” You shook your head. “Oh really?”

“Yea we can be sexy cowboys just nothing too sexy. Plus you know save a horse ride a cowboy.”

He just smiled. “So you’re going to ride me?” You just shrugged. “Ima go get my costume bye I love you.” Before he can say anything you were out the door.

He’s gonna be shirtless!

An: random post but the Kevin and his daughter is next for reals this time but until I post again my lovers 🤍

Agitation 3.10 Live Reactions

(This is me, writing reactions as I read, because why the fuck not. They're not complete, mature thoughts taken after I sit back and evaluate what I've read. Consider them as such)

It's July 4th, work is dead, I've got nothing else to do, let's try to plow through a bunch of these, shall we? At the rate I've been going I'll be at this all year.

The rest of the battlefield was chaos.  Patches of darkness covered everything, and the landscape was distorted.  In some of the areas Vista had warped, the rain wasn’t falling in a straight line.  One spot in particular had the rain moving horizontally before it dropped to help fill a massive puddle thirty feet across, where her power had made an indent in the ground.

I do like Wildow's attention to detail here, and the way these powers just... absolutely fuck everything up like this, and stay like that.

Bitch screamed, and it was a long and primal noise, filled with rage.  I was still inside the bank, watching things unfold through the window, barely able to hear it, and it still made my skin crawl.  So he’d shot the dangerous psychopath with a blast that made her angry.  Someone would have to explain that one to me at a later date.

I'd guess Gallant didn't shoot her with rage, it's just that Rachel's kind of messed up. But I could be wrong.

Seems an odd choice though, if he did.

Apparently that was order enough, because Judas charged at the teenager that was dressed like a science fiction Lancelot.

I love descriptions like this because they both tell us absolutely nothing about how it looks... and also tell us everything. I once read a fic that described the armor of a guy from a culture that went from medieval tech to space travel in like, 100 years (sorta, long story) as being 'Lord of the Rings, with Sci-Fi bolted on' (the POV character was from Earth), and it both told us nothing, and yet, told us everything.

Descriptions are hard, ya'll. Worst part of writing. Props to Wildbow.

Was someone’s power at work, giving me a headache?  There wasn’t anyone in the Wards, I was pretty sure, who could mess with your head like that.  Gallant could mess with your emotions, but he had to hit you with a light blast to do it.  The person on the roof, then?  I was fairly confident there wasn’t anyone in the Protectorate or New Wave who could affect me like this.

No one suspects the healer!

(also no one knows the healer can do this, but)

.  A gun, no less than fifteen feet long, with a barrel three or four feet across, all turret mounted on a circular platform not unlike the board he was riding.

I know technically there is no overkill, just "Open fire" and "I need to reload" but also...

Overkill.

I jumped for cover the moment I realized what he was doing.  There was a muffled sound, more a very large person someone hitting a punching bag than what I’d expect a laser cannon to sound like, and the window exploded. What was he doing?  We had hostages inside.  I turned to check, and saw there weren’t any hostages near me.  Did he know that?  Heat sensors in his visor?  Was someone watching me through the cameras and passing him info?  Damn it!  There was too much I didn’t know, and Tattletale wasn’t around to fill me in.

You know, if Kid Win and Victoria were dating, he could be the Collateral Damage Ken to her Collateral Damage Barbie.

But JESUS Kid, what the fuck?

(Yes, CDB is an incomplete representation of Vicky, but she does earn the nickname fairly at the early stages. I'm also going to assume it's an unfair representation of Kid Win, but still, *Man* wtf?)

The bugs were slow to react, slow to move and some were slipping from my grasp, returning to their instinctive behavior.  Making matters worse, I wasn’t blind to the fact that every time I gave a command, my headache got exponentially worse.

Given that Amy's little messing with the Black Widows only affected them, I'm surprised? Or is this just some sort of Master headache? Is she doing more with the swarm than usual?

 Aegis didn’t try to run this time.  He stood his ground and reached for his utility belt.  He retrieved something that looked like a miniature fire extinguisher. Then he pulled the pin. For the second time in a matter of minutes, I dove away from the window.  It wouldn’t be a grenade, but the option that made the most sense-  I squeezed my eyes shut and covered my ears just in time.  The explosion the flashbang grenade

Flashbang. Much more responsible, Aegis usually is in fic, so presumably in canon too. Tracks.

and Regent was striding out of the darkness, in Kid Win’s direction.

With his outfit and mask that actually probably looks kinda badass.

I whirled to face the voice, and saw the freckled, brown haired hostage that had been glaring at me when we’d first taken control of the bank lobby.  After that, I saw only stars as she slammed something large and blunt into the side of my head.

AMY! :rofl: Finally!

Okay, so like, I get that Amy's not the MC of Worm, but like, I've been waiting for the Fire Extinguisher smash the entire time I've been reading this Arc, so bear with me.

Amy's blorbo, okay?

[nochd]

OK, you want to know why I'm so sure that trans women in sports are not some kind of secret conspiracy by men to steal women's achievements from them?

Well, yes, because there's zero evidence of any such thing happening beyond our society's bigoted stereotype of trans people as untrustworthy, but beyond that, you want to know why I'm so specifically sure?

It's because this is the exact opposite of how patriarchy works. The exact opposite.

Look, we all loved the Barbie movie, and I don't doubt that it accurately captured many women's experience of life under patriarchy. But the idea of a bunch of men getting together to proclaim men, as a group, to be better than women... that's not how it works. That's not the core dynamic of patriarchy. That's not, even as a metaphor, how we men participate in it.

The bits before and after that bit? The Kens at the beginning all jockeying over who was the best Ken, or at the climax going to war over the Barbies? That's how patriarchy works.

Patriarchy is, at its core, a relentless, never-ending, 24/7 manhood contest. Real men, they used to say, don't eat quiche. Real men drive this brand of car, not that one. Real men drink beer, not cocktails. Real men use power tools and like making them go loud. Real men play rugby and keep their hair short and join the army and binge-drink and make fart jokes. Real men show off their muscles, but not in a camp or ironic way because that would be gay and hence unmanly. No aspect of our lives is untouched. You can never relax and just enjoy things; you might be falling short of real manhood.

If patriarchy is a manhood contest, why does it hurt women worse than men? Well, partly it hurts women worse because it's a manhood contest. When worth is equated with manhood, so that to be unmanly is to be unworthy, where does that put people who aren't men at all? At the bottom of the table.

But more than that, I have yet to see a description of patriarchy that captures its fundamental drive better than Anita Sarkeesian's famous line "Women are not the opposing team, they're the ball." Women -- women's bodies, freedom, and attention -- are what the manhood contest is being fought over. To the winner go the spoils; the hero gets the girl.

Patriarchal societies attack and imprison and control women because women, being people, have the inconvenient habit of behaving as if they were neither trophies to be won and locked in a case nor livestock to be penned in and milked, and making themselves available to men who aren't their owners according to the patriarchy's laws.

If you doubt the power of the manhood contest, consider this. Fashion magazines typically contain multiple images of slim young women wearing little to nothing; the sort of thing that straight and bisexual men, in any other context, flock to see. How many men do you see leafing through the fashion magazines in bookshops or newsstands? None, because reading fashion magazines would be unmanly.

And you think some guy is going to try and win this manhood contest by wearing dresses and make-up and taking oestrogen and getting his penis removed and changing his name to a girl's name and entering an athletics event with a title starting "Women's ..."?

Just A Couple Of Fun Headcanons Of TD Characters (Heather)

- Heather is Asian-Canadian (this is canon, right?)

- Heather was born as the tenth of fourteen siblings. (Someone calculate how long the mom was pregnant for in her life)

- Heather doesn’t have her own room. She shares one with four other siblings.

- Heather was just part of the crowd most of her life, due to being in one that is her family. Half the time her parents don’t even notice her seeing she was an afterthought.

- Her parents are rich from inheritage. They heavily take advantage of their grandparents retirement pay so they don’t have to work. (And now you know why Heathers strategies involve using others)

- The only way Heather stood out was by being a brat. When she was being a good girl, no one noticed her. When she whined, people felt something and that was better than nothing.

- For example when she was a toddler and they cancelled a ballet show, she just had to whine and cry until they changed their mind. (This my friends is bad nurturing)

- Heather took dance lessons. So did four more of her siblings.

- Heathers friends are her siblings friends first. One of those friend groups get a kick out of bullying her and calling her a crybaby. They purposely broke one of her dolls that she loved. No they never apologized.

- Heather has a habit of saying what she thinks. What I mean by this is that she will call out people on their flaws when she’s stressed, mistreated, or they caused an issue. (I have the same flaw) This makes people call her the mean one and the obnoxious one. In Heathers mind she’s just being real.

- Heather was a HUGE Survival fan. She’s big on reality TV. She saw Survivor Vanuatu and fell in love with reality TV since then. She’s played pretend of competitions with her dolls, and dreamed of being on a show and winning, but the others called her too obsessed.

- Heather loves playing dolls. Let girls be girly!

- Heather can also tell you the Barbie lore and Sailor Moon lore.

- Yes. Heather is an anime fan. She will admit it to no one. Harold knows though, and they bond over anime quite a bit.

- Heather’s in the cheerleading squad at her schools.

- One time, Heather’s dad fell down the stairs and broke his leg. All the siblings claimed it was Heathers fault. In actuality Heather was just sneaking into an older siblings diary, got caught by a younger sibling, and she put it back, but they set it on the top of the stairs as revenge. The fall was meant for Heather, but somehow the sibling that did the crime got away with it.

- Heather was in a group of friends in Elementary school, but one of them was sarcastic and manipulative and the other was actually a very nice girl. So nice that it made Heather sick and she tried to bond with her by ‘influencing her’. It didn’t work. She got jealous over that girls growing popularity, so she beat her at recess, and friendship was over.

- Heathers younger brother is obsessed with fish. She hates the fish because they prevent her from getting a cat for the longest time. One time the brother fed the fish to death, and Heather did not feel bad whatsoever.

- Heather didn’t get her cat until she started high school. After her brother gained the status of a murderer of dozens of fish.

- Heather is overprotective of her hair. Why? Because hers didn’t grow until she was four, and she didn’t want to cut it ever since as it took till she was twelve to have it be back length. (If you were to ask me though, she’d look better with a Bob)

- Why does Heather hate Beth? Because of Beth’s appearance. That sounds simplistic but it actually had Beth remind Heather of her past self.

- Puberty hated Heather. She was the queen of pimples, and no acne worked for her for the longest time. She was hairy everywhere. And thinking she was ugly, she engaged in coping methods that only made her gain a lot of weight. Obviously, that made it worse. In her mind, she was uglier than Beth back then. (It’s a bit of a stretch in her mind, she wasn’t surgery level or Owen level fat, but still in a state where she thought she was. You know what to add onto it this is why she hates Owen too.)

- Heathers classmates outcasted her because of her attitude and bossy approaches on situations. Heather thinks it’s because of how she looked, so she put all her effort on that to fit in the traditional beauty mold.

- Heather is REALLY picky about what she eats. Anything that’s excessive calories, she will not take.

- She has a huge collection of nail polish. HUGE.

- You know those fashion app games on your phone? Heather has a lot of them.

- Heathers relationship with her parents? Not great, honestly. I guess the best way to describe it is this: They’re a more open version of the Turning Red parents, but the mom is still on a level of strict, and Heather had a Merida attitude around them. Hopefully that makes sense.

- Heathers parents are actually kind of like the Turning Red family in terms of household and lifestyle, minus having people tour their place.

- Heathers big dream is to own an Asian themed spa and live under beauty and luxury.

- Heather considers her image in Total Drama auditions to be her best version of herself. (Yep. I know.)

- Heather is a nerd when it comes to reality TV competition. She knows the strategies and the efficiencies of them. She knows what the shows look for in giving people screen time. She knows how to survive and play her luck cards. She knew going in exactly what she was doing, what her role would be, and how she would appear on camera. Only in her mind, she thought it was actually likeable.

- Yes. Heathers intent was to use Lindsay and Beth. That’s been clear and blatant. However, the show only shows the worst parts of their relationship. Despite the manipulation, Heather tried to treat Lindsay and Beth as well as she thought they deserved. She gave Beth beauty tips and taught her how to speak up for herself (something that backfired). She willingly associated in beauty tips with Lindsay and sympathized with Lindsay’s education issues. This does not make Beth and Lindsay leaving her any less justified. Heather thought Beth deserved her loss after talking back to her, and she was remorseful for Lindsay’s loss as she didn’t anticipate it.

- Heather and Lindsay never became friends again. Heather tried, but Lindsay never forgave her. It’s sad on Heathers end, and on Lindsay’s end, it’s a trophy.

- Heather likes to bully Leshawna on her appearance and her hair issues. It’s Leshawna we’re talking about, so of course Leshawna isn’t having it.

- Heather tormented Gwen because she believed Gwen was the audience hate character. She found Gwen to be the ‘archetype no one likes on TV’ and ruining her life was proper justice and improved Heathers reputation. (Ironically Gwen would become that very thing later)

- Heather KNEW which key would get her the invincibility pass in the pirate challenge. She’s a reality TV expert, like I said. She knew what she was doing.

- Regarding the theory that Chris rigged the show for Heather… no. This is just how reality TV works, and Heather gives them views. Heathers the one doing the work to make them come to that ideal.

- Why did Heather and Duncan not keep the alliance they formed in that one episode? Simple. Heather made Duncan clean the bathroom with no excuse. He ain’t letting her get away with that, so he found another tranquilizer to leave her stuck in the bathroom for the next day. It’s not mentioned because in Island, the episodes have a three day gap between each other. So she could recover.

- Overall, in Heathers mind, nothing she does on the show is personal. It’s just a game, so she can’t offend anyone. If it’s on TV, personal attacks can’t happen.

- That’s why what happened at the ending was a huge smack to Heather.

- Obviously, we have her elimination and her head being shaved. To her, that is a personal attack, and trauma inducing. Obviously no one felt bad for her and claimed she deserved it.

- Even her parents, who thought she was moving out and threw a party about her being gone (canon)

- Of course, the other campers bullied her, which is... not fun. For anyone.

- Heather had no intention of befriending Harold after the special, even after their heart to heart. This would change though.

- Heather was heavily outcasted in Action, which is canon. Harold was the only one who constantly tried to talk to her, but she pushed him away because she’s mean to nerds like that. The entire time, she didn’t understand why she was being outcasted in the first place, and felt like she did nothing wrong. Again, she thinks because it’s a game, it’s not personal, and even with her head being shaved being personal to her, people don’t instantly change their perspectives from one incident.

- Heather plotted against Gwen from the start, and her role in Gwen’s elimination was game related. She didn’t anticipate the others to trust her, but all she needed was enough visible evidence against her which was provided with the shovel and the cart cramp. Heather had a party when Gwen was eliminated and gorged on that pizza in celebration. We love sweet sweet revenge.

- Why did Heather not cut off Lindsay’s hair? Lindsay thought about that and hid the scissors in bad places, but at least it gave Heather a wild goose chase and no time or chance to actually cut the hair. By the time she did, she was more focused on Courtney’s hair.

- Speaking of, Heather had to sleep with one eye open that night because she angered the lawyer chick and her boyfriend. 

- Okay look, I’m gonna be real with this one, I do NOT understand why people like Leshawna and Heather being friends. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cute concept and could’ve been a nice plot progression for them both, but in the show... no. They’ve done nothing but hate on each other for two seasons, and then in one episode Heather says one nice thing about Leshawna, which is just one of only two positive interactions they have before they call each other friends. It does not work for me. And World Tour forgets about it, so... how do I explain this here?

- I think Leshawna was just desperate for sympathy at the heat of the moment, from anyone. And if it was Heather, so be it. Heather was just speaking her mind. This small friendship broke because of Harold and his bs in Celebrity Manhunt straining them, and it snapped in World Tour when Leshawna slapped Heather. (See my Harold headcanon post for more details on what he did.)

- When Leshawna bad mouthed them, Heather consoled Harold, who was the most upset about it. She told him he shouldn’t worry about her and just look out for number one. She and Harold became friends around the time Heather was eliminated from that season.

- Heather was, to say it the nicest way, highly loathed after Island and Action. Her biggest relevance online was insulting Gwen. Nobody wanted to hang out with her, online, or in person. 

- If you’re wondering how Heather’s hair grew back in the span of a year when I said her hair grew slow, Harold helped her, surprisingly. He knew some medical tips to help her out. (I said in the Harold headcanon post that Harold did his sister’s hair.)

- Harold was the only person willing to hang out with Heather. They bonded quite a bit over dumb stuff like anime and beauty tips, even if Harold is kinda hopeless when it comes to looking good. Harold would occasionally include Leshawna and Cody, but Heather was kinda in the back in hangouts like this. Though, that’s also what puts her on good terms with Cody. 

- Then Harold did the Drama Brothers and he became an egotist who pushed his loved ones away, so Heather was left alone again. She was ticked at Harold about it, and it started a fight that neither of them hold a grudge over. Harold would redeem himself in the World Tour finale in Heather’s book, and they’d be friends again.

- Speaking of World Tour:

- Alejandro was not Heather’s first crush. She’s had crushes on boys before the show. It’s just they never went anywhere because Heather ruined them all.

- With that said, Alejandro was a mirror image of her and her behavior on the show, only he’s better at being awful in every single way. That turned Heather on big time.

- Even though she kept to her game belief, she saw Alejandro as the only person who could get her. She kept her eye on him for multiple reasonings, one of them being that she doesn’t know how to talk to him. She was worried he’d reject her.

- Heather and Sierra are NOT friends. Heather can’t stand Sierra. The only reason she puts up with her is for game reasons and sympathy for Sierra at the end for the plane incident. Sierra is that person you can’t stand but you hang out with them because you feel out of place everywhere else.

- Leshawna snapped at and slapped Heather because of Alejandro. Like I said, they were already strained because of Harold, and Leshawna was enthralled by Alejandro, something that made Heather jealous and made Heather seem like she didn’t support Leshawna. (You know, what Leshawna needed since the past year but wasn’t getting) 

- (This is actually from Refilming Action, a TD fic I did) Heather finds Harold and Leshawna’s relationship creepy, and when the bad mouthing happened, Heather encouraged Harold to move on from Leshawna and find other fish in the sea. Boy does that backfire on her here.

- Heather is ashamed that she fell for the Amazons who worshipped her. But it felt nice to be praised for once in a long time. She swore that after the season she would find out if there was a Heather fanbase anywhere. *wink wink*

- Heather was THRILLED at the idea of Gwen becoming a bigger punching bag than her. Because in Heather’s mind, Gwen deserved it. At first, she was all for eliminating Gwen and making her miserable. What changed? Courtney, who was sabotaging the team, and the big one, was enthralled by Alejandro. To Heather, that made Courtney a worse burden than Gwen.

- With that said, Heather was still happy about Gwen getting eliminated. (Really, the ONLY person who wasn’t happy about Gwen being eliminated in WT was Cody. Everyone else was partying and cheering.)

- I find it pretty poetic that Heather and Alejandro both lost the million dollars in the end. Heather, even after all of this, believed in the game being impersonal. Even if she wanted Alejandro and found someone who could understand her and play her in ways she’d welcome... she chose the game over him and everyone else. On one hand, it’s a triumph for her that she won the season despite all the hate she got, but on the other, she emotionally destroyed Alejandro, physically too. Heather ruined what could’ve been.

- Heather got a fanbase after World Tour. She was thrilled. And kind of abused it.

- But despite that, she really got no win from the season she ‘won’. She had no money to start her spa, and worse, what she did to Alejandro.

- She tried to find him in hospitals, but due to Chris, she thought the worst of what happened to him. She regretted what rejecting him in Hawaii for awhile.

- Maybe it was then where she realized just how personal the game was.

- She had to put matters into her own hands, and truly get the win she deserved. That’s why she tried to steal the million in Revenge. 

- Heather competed in All Stars for these same reasons. She was proud of her villain status, not because of being labeled ‘evil’ but because she believed the label gave her an advantage against everyone around her, especially since Alejandro wasn’t there to-

- Oh.

- Yeah he’s back. This is a huge array of emotions considering the last thing Heather did to him. She doesn’t know how to apologize to him, or if she even should. If anything, she’d think Alejandro would reject her.

- (I just realized NOW that this is what Harold was getting at in the Island Special. He said that she was scared others would reject her, so she pushed them away first. Wow... yeah I’ll just leave it here, why not?)

- Heather and Jo... I got nothing. That sucked.

- All Stars was kind of Heather failing to apologize to Alejandro or figure out what to do with him now. I mean, the writers decided to abandon their plotline in World Tour, even though people liked that plotline, so... idk.

- Heather was betrayed when Alejandro eliminated her, needless to say. 

- Oh yeah, Heather and Alejandro reunited in the Yukon and made up and got together...? Seriously, I JUST watched that bonus clip to try and understand it, and she just slaps him, he says he missed her too, and they’re together again. So...

- Frankly, I can definitely see Heather as someone who wouldn’t be on the floor crying over this. Fine. So instead, I’m gonna say it was a struggle for her to get the words out that she was sorry about what she did to him. Alejandro however, knew what she was trying to tell him and he already understood why. They were both willing to put everything aside to be together, get the million dollars, and work through each other’s shortcomings proper.

- Either way in the All Stars finale, Heather and Alejandro were gonna share the million. They just clashed because it’s their nature. No, neither of them took it personal.

- They both survived the shark attack. 

- After the show, Heather and Alejandro started dating proper. Their relationship went incredibly well. Surprising, I know, but they worked things out and formed a happy relationship. 

- He also convinced Heather to cut her hair into a bob. She didn’t hate it.

- Heather and Alejandro both auditioned for more reality shows as a means of business. Every time they’re known as ruthless villains, but no matter what, they lost. They both kinda stopped caring about TV’s interpretations of them.

- Keep in mind that Heather and Alejandro decided not to stay in touch with their families. They weren’t on good terms with them because of the show anyway, and they didn’t feel like apologizing. 

- A couple years into their relationship, Alejandro proposed to Heather. She accepted.

- They didn’t invite their families to the wedding, but the Drama Brothers were there to set up their little garden wedding.

- Their honeymoon was in Hawaii. 

- There was another factor to their marriage, and that was Alejandro’s health. He had to take physical therapy after the volcano incident, and occasionally needed a wheelchair. He could walk sometimes, but not 24/7. Burn wounds can lead to a lot of diseases, so they were both scared it would get worse since they had no cure. Yeah, Alejandro wasn’t living a long life.

- Heather is not a stay at home partner. She’s the one going to work. The man stays home.

- Heather has a job as a hair stylist. 

- Heather and Cody are in touch. Heather is disgusted about Cody’s relationships though, and she doesn’t want to wear a sign that says ‘Vent to me.’

- Harold and Heather are still in touch, and occasionally help each other out. Even if Harold still hates Alejandro. 

- Upon hearing Harold and Leshawna broke up, Heather realized how much the two meant to each other, and Heather decided to encourage Harold to try and get Leshawna back. She saw he was willing to at least apologize to Leshawna and ask for a second chance. (If you saw my Harold headcanon post, you know where this leads)

- They met again at a little rich kid banquet. Heather and Leshawna had not talked since World Tour, so it was nice to get back together. They still bicker like siblings, but they aren’t really getting personal anymore.

- Or at least, they didn’t WANT to, but life always finds a way to be dramatic.

- Since Alejandro hadn’t kept in touch with his family, Heather didn’t know a certain detail.

- Leshawna was engaged to Jose Burromuerto, Alejandro’s brother. Heather was rightfully DISGUSTED with this news, so much so that she vomited onto someone else’s balcony. Now she and that neighbor are on bad terms. She called Leshawna out on the marriage, even after knowing Leshawna and Alejandro’s families forced this. 

- It also forced Alejandro’s family to come back in their life, and yeah that was not fun. Especially not on the holidays. 

- Oh yeah, this also means Heather and Leshawna are in laws. They hate this fact once they realized that. But it’s also funny (to me)

- Ironically enough, in this new family, Heather is the most assertive and caring one because everyone else is either having problems or fighting. How the tables have turned if Heather is the nicest one there.

- Yeah, Heather’s really become more humble and open minded with her happy marriage and their... complicated new family. But she’s still Heather, and will be sarcastic and snobby from time to time. That’s just her.

- Heather, as a hair stylist, loves joking about how Leshawna’s hair is impossible to deal with when it’s not.

- Heather snapped at Cody to get a divorce with his marriage. Multiple times. She even had to be violent towards him to get him to do it. He eventually did so.

- Heather heard about Harold’s health problems that spiraled from the marriage news, but she felt like she wasn’t the right person to fix the issue. So she got Cody whenever she heard updates. 

- Leshawna had a daughter with Jose. Again, Heather was disgusted, and Leshawna was too, the entire time, but Heather managed to be there for Leshawna the whole way through and help her out. Leshawna became closer with Heather after that, knowing she wasn’t alone. 

- Heather and Alejandro tried to have a kid of their own while Leshawna was pregnant. One so she wouldn’t be alone and two so they could start something. But they never succeeded. Leshawna didn’t mind and mocked that Heather would’ve been a bad parent anyway.

- Heather and Alejandro were both there to babysit Leshawna’s daughter from time to time, and they both cared for their niece. Heather though, wanted her whole family to be as happy as they could be, and she knew Leshawna would never be happy in a relationship without Harold. 

- She tracked Harold down to get him back into their lives, and tried to convince Leshawna over and over again to get a divorce. 

- They did get a divorce. But it wasn’t a fight that caused it, as they both knew they didn’t want it already. Leshawna made her own choice outside of what the expectations around her wanted. Jose acknowledged that she and their daughter would be happier with a different husband/father. And that family man wasn’t for him, and he was meant to be a rich dude on TV. 

- She and Heather still consider each other in laws, just for the sake of another reason to argue over nothing. 

- Leshawna got married to Harold, so now Harold is in the family. These two couples stay in touch a lot and have multiple memories doing things together. To Heather, it could definitely be worse.

- And now for the sad part, like I said before, Alejandro’s burn wounds caused him multiple hospitalities, and a good year or two after the Lesharold marriage, Alejandro was diagnosed with cancer. 

- Word got out to all the TD cast, and soon everybody wanted to come over and support him and Heather. They didn’t know how much time Alejandro had left.

- Even Gwen came around to support Heather, and it’s how they forgave each other for TD.

- By then, all beef regarding Heather was put aside in favor of support and care. Heather could never reject something bittersweet as that.

- Eventually, the man who changed Heather’s life, passed away.

- Heather would forever have grief with reality TV after this. Crippling grief. She despised reality TV ever since, and especially wanted to send Chris death threats. She would hate reality TV for the rest of her days.

- The Burromuerto family donated to Heather thousands of dollars. Money needed for Heather to open the spa she always dreamed of having.

- She named it ‘Aleheather Day Spa’ as a little memorial for her husband. 

- Heather would devote everything to the people in her life and her business. Evil in everyone’s eyes or not. She’d honor her husband and the people who gave her a chance. She was going to be the best stylist Muskoka had ever seen.

- She was a victor who lost. Through and through. 

(Heather is the best character in Total Drama if you ask me. She has the sharpest writing out of everyone and impacts the entire show. Total Drama would never be what it is without Heather. It baffles me that the spinoffs of the show hate her. I also baffle myself for being guilty of that too with TDDRI, which... yeah. But nevermind that, Heather is fantastic. Show some respect to the queen.)

[lannisterdaddyissues]

I saw your reblog of the Sound of Music gifset and may I be so bold as to suggest: IceMav Sound of Music AU plus ABO verse?

Alpha!Ice as the slowly thawing captain, omega!Mav as the governess? TG'22 class as the kids?

AHHHHH HELLO FRIEND WELCOME TO MY INBOX THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN (and for that delicious gif of christopher plummer as 6 year old me’s dilfsexual awakening… 👀) AND FOR LEAVING SUCH A YUMMY TREAT FOR ME!!!!

i was SO delighted when i saw this ask because if there are two things i love it’s 1) the sound of music and 2) icemav so naturally i would love to combine the sound of music and icemav right? FORTUNATELY i already have discussed this before with both @nicejobkid and @beterparker so i have Thoughts about this.

(i also have so many thoughts about the sound of music being mav’s favorite movie in canon but i can’t find the post i made on that right now so i’m just going to sit quietly and seethe)

but YES icemav sound of music au … the a/b/o verse was NOT included in our original draft but hey, what the hell! i can most certainly get behind it. i don’t have that many ideas for the a/b/o aspect of it right now but i love love LOVE the sound of music aspect of it…

just, ooooh i love the idea of mav being the one to teach ice to open his heart again, and just being so achingly mav that ice is helpless to stop himself from falling so hard and so fast after he starts to dethaw again… i love the idea of the daggers being their kids too bc those kids would ABSOLUTELY try to play matchmaker after things start to heat up between ice and mav… maybe we could have a little fun and spruce the au up with some original scenes too because i just know that hangman would be pushing ice and mav together like barbies, little shit that he is… phoenix too bc anything hangman does she has to do better LOL

and on mav’s side ugh the idea of him developing a very ill-advised crush on his hot boss who wants nothing to do with him is unfortunately so on-brand 😔 especially one he thinks is majorly out of his league (because in this au ice certainly would be)…

it’s interesting to think about how mav’s circumstances might affect his personality a little bit, the same with ice… but the most interesting and wholesome change to explore might be his faith (if one were to stick close to canon and make the abbey his home like maria) vs his sexuality and like… father viper (FATHER VIPER WOULD BE SO FUNNY) giving mav some very supportive lgbt ally parent advice about god loving all his children etc etc <3

maybe that would even be why mav leaves at first bc he’s not just in love with his boss who happens to be engaged to somebody else, he’s in love with a MAN … but love wins in the end and they all live happily ever after <3

anyway since you mentioned a/b/o thoughts like i said, i still don’t have many but uh . there might be something there with captain von trapp’s whistle 😏

Busted for attempt to steal private property (a car).

Please do not repost any of my art. Enzo Sarto belongs to @gloryride. <3 mugshot poses & plate by Zink (amm discord). bomber jacket (Arizona) by @pinkyjulien

Since Glory came up with that Barbie and Ken meme to me — I had to do this mugshot theme a well. Both of us do have OCs who are (street) racers and what can I say? Pretty Enzolino here once lost his beautiful orange McLaren F1 and had to hand it over to Jay. Enzo without a good racing car? Impossible.

So despite of not liking Jay, he proceeds to ask him to lend Baby (the F1) for winning himself another car. Jay is all in ofc. ;P They actually liked their good teamwork on ripping Sampson his car off and thought it would be a good idea to give some other cars owned by various rich corpos a new owner as well. Too bad they got caught on their first try (team work needs to be learend still). No matter how bad it actually looks, Jaysen will know a way out. Being a highly skilled netrunner and a former NCPD officer might come in handy, so Enzolino has nothing to fear. ;P They will be out in no time!

I did a lot of post processing with these. Made the height table myself (quickly done via InDesign), also the text on the plates each of them is holding. I decided against placing their names and took my usual description onto them for ID. I added the date they got caught – looked up what usually is on such plates and majority had dates, so yeah, why not? Fun fact: I placed QR codes on them as well. xD If you would scan those you'll simply be lead to the tags with the ocs. That said they are scanable, but I think they won't be on tblr, since opening them in a new browser tab does show them in a smaller resolution than when I open them on my iMac. And ofc viewing with your phone gives not the option to scan either. I just wanted to do something different is all xD

And because I love close ups, have one of Jay and Enzo, too as a bonus:

wicked thoughts, under cut for brevity:

oh no. there is exposition text at the beginning. this ain't a good start, y'all. this is a very very bad start

okay okay this is winning me over, it does just look so joyful in oz, during the overture

why the change from "atrocious" to "uncanny"? seems unnecessary, and i don't think it gets across the anger and hatred as much - "uncanny" is weird, "atrocious" is bad

a burning efigy in the middle of the this cutesy little colourful village

the flash-forwards of their friendship........ guys why are you DOING this??? your audience isn't stupid!!! even if they didn't already know the story of wicked going into the theatre, i think the subtle "glinda the good witch is singing about how wonderful it is that the wicked witch of the west is dead, but has a pained look on her face" acting is an intriguing hook to get them curious about the story to come!!!!! "is it true you were her friend?" "yes... well, i did know her... (*flashes of glinda and elphaba touching hands*) our paths did cross..." is NOTHING. cut that shit out, wicked 2024! (of course, it's a 2-hour 40-minute movie that is the first act of a 2-hour 45-minute musical, so i imagine there will be lots of time for throwing in exposition dumps and whatnot (i swear i'm not trying to go into this with a judgement already. i love wicked so much, and i want to love this movie so much))

i do admit it's nice that the dialogue has a little space to breathe. i've never really minded, but on reflection the stage production is very... rapid

i really do love the environments. like, the sets and costumes and shit in the background - it really is such a fantastical world, cartoonish and childlike and bright

GOD cynthia erivo can fuckin BELT it. this might be telling on myself a little bit, but i was so focused on how stunning i knew ariana grande was gonna be as galinda (i was right, ofc, btw) that i didn't even consider that this newest elphaba might possibly hold a candle to idina menzel (high praise)

get the fuck out of here with ANOTHER FLASHFORWARD????? of something bad happening in oz???????? god trust your fucking audience

oh my god this fiyero is here to FUCK (and i agree with every person at the school also wanting to reciprocate)

the reality of oz such that sometimes people just break into song and/or dance, and that any given group of people can potentially just join in a dance number, choreography and all, without batting an eye - that this is just how the world works is a wonderful way of demonstrating how oz is just simply a different land than our own. much like barbie 2023

i mentioned before that i liked letting things breathe in this movie - elphaba's and galinda's scene where they dance at the oz dust ballroom has literally made me tear up, something i don't think the stage production did, and the ost hasn't

this movie is so gay. we love it

in the promos when i saw oz displayed as an actually green city, i was a little upset bc i've always been especially tickled by the fact that the emerald city isn't made of emeralds. everyone just wears emerald-colored glasses. i think that's a very pointed and sinisterly funny commentary on self-delusion of the goodness of a blatantly shitty government. furthermore, the green glasses were an explicit part of the show. they sold em with the posters. i still have a pair from when i saw the production in high school. i'm very disappointed that they didn't find some way to use them. they would have fit right into this movie. sigh

i do love oz as this exaggerated retrofuturistic steampunk land. that sort of thing was always implied in the book and musical but it's so cool to just see all the gears and cranks and steam and shit

i do like the cameos. i do not like that it's a new song that's basically another iteration of the expo dump at the start. hate it.

jeff goldblum is fucking inspired casting. cold take, but not wrong. love it

okay okay okay we're here at the end of part one, the climax of the show... please don't let me down, "defying gravity" from wicked 2024...

i can't believe they turned a 6-minute song into the last half hour of the movie. i can't believe i was fine with it. it could have been so cheesy, so flat, so pretend. it was...

good. this movie was good. still shouldn't have been 2 movies. i loved this adaptation so much.
