#and i didn't even know i was going to be doing taffy at this show (neither did my scene partner they just set me up perfectly)

overdid it at my improv show last night and now all i can do is lay in bed having blorbo thoughts
#it was my first time performing live comedy in at least a year and oh my god i didn't realize how much i'd missed it#i love doing behind-the-scenes stuff but something about being onstage with no script and the job of entertaining people#i'm like ah yes this is why i want to be a comedian no matter what#i'd done some virtual improv shows since the pandemic but being in person is so much better#my scene partner could just be like ''hey i'm giving you a piggy back now'' and i'd be like ok no follow up questions#i trust you know what you're doing in this scene enough for me to put my entire weight on you (both metaphorically and literally)#also spontaneously transformed from acting as myself to acting as taffy (one of my recurring improv characters) in like 0.5 seconds#and i didn't even know i was going to be doing taffy at this show (neither did my scene partner they just set me up perfectly)#idk if i've talked about taffy before but i love her she was my first major recurring comedic character#her whole thing is she desperately wants to be part of this wealthy family called the van bortels#and comes up with wild schemes to get there such as living in their vents for the entire pandemic#she also has a husband who's a raccoon that is also nonbinary#i love playing taffy bc she was the first character i ever did that was like. oh people enjoy this. oh people REALLY want to see this.#and when i came home from college the first time we did a scene where there was an imposter-taffy that was another cast member#basically doing their own impression of taffy#and it genuinely made me emotional like wow i made such a distinct character that people are doing their own imitations of her#and it's still unmistakably taffy#anyway maybe i should bring taffy out more. i've been focusing a lot on aubrey lately bc ze's my favorite character i do#but i have at least two other characters i developed in improv over the years that people seem to enjoy#(the third is taytay but i legit haven't played taytay since 2020 so i barely remember what she's like)

yourusername welcome back to my postgame penalty box update show: i fear i’ll have to pay back the favor and bail quinn out of jail one day edition!
my boys had a major win tonight by beating the sharks 10-1! that's right! TEN TO ONE!
but what's even better than that is that QUINTIN JEROME GOT THREE PENALTIES TONIGHT! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE HAS DONE THIS! only four times has he had two in one game, so tonight he made his own history! that's my best friend! his penalties were for stick holding and a delay of game for shooting the puck over the glass in the second period and an interference penalty in the third!
what's even BETTER than that is that QUINN MOTHER FUCKING HUGHES TIED THE CANUCKS RECORD FOR MOST POINTS SCORED BY A DEFENSEMAN WITH 5 POINTS!! this was last done in 1995!
he assisted on brock's first goal, assisted on millsy's goal, AND SCORED HIS OWN GOAL IN THE FIRST PERIOD, and in the second, he assisted on laffy taffy and suter's goals!
quinny, i’m so unbelievably proud of you! you're doing amazing this season, and i can't wait to see what records you tie and break next! i love you way past infinity🤍
p.s. special shout out to tito! he played his 500th game tonight and scored his first two goals of the season! i’m proud of you and i love you! trophy coming soon! @/titobeauvi91

PROMPT: The more unsightly sides to Angels of Fumus.
(warnings: yandere/toxic relationships, physical violence and abuse, suggestive themes.)
. . .
i. knowing what it’s like to be punished for every menial mistake he makes despite desperate efforts to please, Taffy would never purposefully hurt nor degrade his darling if you mess up in any way. this is the same seraph who's stripped of all mercy to go on bloodhunt to kill any demon who threatens the 'peace' of the world his god created – yet he never so much as raises his voice at you. he gets angry with you sometimes when you do something reckless, but he can never bring himself to scold you for it; instantly going into overprotective mother hen mode instead. he'll annihilate anyone who threatens your well-being, even turn that same destruction around onto himself – anything to keep you out of harm's way. he would want to shelter you from everything bad if it were possible.
ii. Yuu has a mild inferiority complex, so to know he means so much to you and you still wanting to mend your relationship despite the hardships surrounding the two of you will inevitably ramp up his obsessive tendencies he might have been suppressing before. he exerts authority over the lower-ranking angels and he'll freely use violence on them if he wants. he can't do anything about his fellow seraphs, but they usually know to steel clear from you. he'll kill anyone else though (doesn't even have to be a demon, he will do it without hesitation). his violence isn't the sadistic kind, it's just a method of solving a problem – he would prefer you didn't find this out, but if you did... he will assert that it was your own good. you'll see.
iii. there is no such thing as ‘good behavior’ or ‘bad behavior’ in the eyes of Lei Hitotose, you aren’t some animal in need of punishment. if something bad were to happen to you, he would just become a hundred times more clingy and overprotective to the point it’s near impossible to get him off your back. he’s more likely to blame an outside influence of your relationship if you lost your head or think about breaking up with him. aside from him religiously going through your underwear drawer and always wanting an eyeful when you're changing out of your uniform without your knowledge, he is a relatively tame type of obsessive lover – and that's really saying something.
iv. Zero Hitotose may be fierce with a hair-trigger temper to match, but that doesn’t mean he enjoys hurting you – he might lose his patience and get a little rough with you, like push you around or yank you along where he wants by your elbow with bruising grip. he can forget his own strength sometimes, but his darling's presence is there to subdue and keep him grounded. he would feel remorseful if he’s genuinely upset you – even when he has a hard time showing emotions that aren't bordering on annoyance or rigidity, he still tries to muster a (half-baked) apology at the very least.
v. you would think his effeminate nature comes in a package of him also being gentle, then you could not be any more wrong – Engetsu is a fierce, passionate lover who's obsessed with you and wants you to share his addiction in fair. whether you weren’t paying him enough attention or if he became exasperated with you for something you did – he drags you to an empty room, ties you down and overstimulates you until you can barely think, tears rolling down your cheeks, and you’re covered in endless amount of hickeys and bruises. a reminder for you not to ever forget whom you belong to.
vi. although it is rare for him to show his more unsightly side, Fiore has no qualms about resorting to emotional manipulation and gaslighting (“you’re just confused, that never happened." "what reason would i have to make something like that up?"), he desperately wants to be needed and relied on, even if it includes making you doubt your own mind and being fed little (in his eyes) harmless lies. he would rather you spend all of your time with him and not any of his comrades or even the trainee angels, just to appease his anxiety about being useful and wanted as a lover.
vii. much like the fourth subordinate, Inga is (a sadist) without mercy on the battlefield with equal amounts of ferocity to match, but unlike the former, these traits would unfortunately carry over to his relationship. he has no problem either inflicting brutal violence onto his darling to get them to behave. when he’s pissed off with you, his anger won’t dissipate until you’re expected to thank him for keeping you safe from either lord fumus’ unstable mood swings or from the blood-thirst of demons. if you still dare to cross a line with him, he may pour boiling hot water into your eyes, or maybe break a bone or two.
viii. Tsurugigozen is often volatile and temperamental, easily succumbed to emotions over rational thinking, no matter how much of a narcissist he is about thinking otherwise. he similarly resorts to physical punishments, but nothing overtly severe, either spanking you over his lap or getting a smack in the face. other times he just threatens to punish you – all the while doing it with a remorseless smile on his expression – you'll quickly come to learn they're more like promises rather than threats. he kind of enjoys the power he has over you, knowing you wouldn’t be able to say anything or leave him.
ix. Youran hardly ever gets angry with you – his heart is delicate when it comes to love and all he wants is to pretend the two of you are living a life of normalcy without the watchful eyes of lord fumus. even the slightest hesitation from you will have him guilt-tripping you by asking, “do you not love me anymore? haven't i been gentle and loving with you always, hon?” with that half-lidded gaze of his. no matter what he actually did to you, his honeyed words are enough to make you second-guess yourself.
x. Aes can’t stand it when you come back severely injured from a mission. it’s the usual occurrence, but at some point he ends up caving to his instincts to keep you away from battle as long as possible. he injects scilliroside (or any kind of strong poisonous substance that isn't easy to heal even with his powers, probably something nicked from the demons’ world) into your veins with a needle while you’re unconscious, which will render you useless to move and immobile for a couple of days. you wouldn’t ever suspect the sweet doe-eyed angel had something to do with sudden sensations of persistent nausea and high fever. he stays with you day and night when he’s available, enjoying the time when you're under his care. he might amputate your legs as a last resort, but makes sure you don't feel any pain during the process.

I always wondered how the gang reacts when mochi comes back!!! I bet lime would be on her side at all times to make sure she doesn't disappear again, watching her sleep, following her around the house, then mochi has to go to the bathroom and he's anxiously waiting lmao
strangely the first person to know shes back is taffy!!! when she decides to hunt down the guild again, she goes to sulluvan to find out their approximate location. her plan was to find the others first, and lime last, so she could (hopefully) get from them a little temperature check on how lime would feel about all of it
(by that i mean she was very worried about whether or not he would want to see her. she realizes what she did was a very jerk move, and if he was moved on and happy without her (married with a kid or something) then she didnt want to interfere with that, even by just showing up. so she wanted to check with oscar and coco if theyd kept in contact with him, and how hes been/if looking for him is a good idea)
sulluvan gives her the locations of taffy/coco/oscar, but tells her to hold off on lime if shes not going straight to him first. "That boy moves around quite a bit. Unless you're going to see him right now, he'd be somewhere else entirely by the time you got around to him," he tells her.
taffy is the first to see her. she went to coco and taffy first, and while she was standing outside their apartment building thinking about what she wants to say, taffy comes home. he is the MOST calm out of all of them. (granted knew her the shortest and therefore wasnt as close to her as the others). when he brings her upstairs to their apartment and coco sees her, she tackles her to the floor and straight up starts weeping. (and then grabs pom and manhandles her as well)
oscar had a similar reaction. the kind you would have after a chance encounter with a friend after a long time. a lot of "Oh my god!!!!" and tight hugs!! obviously all of them are thrilled to get back into guild work, they were getting bored of their current lives (oscar timeskip story currently pending)
when she asks them about lime, oscar and coco just kinda give each other a knowing look, take a moment to reflect about his down bad ass and what hes been doing for the last 3 years, before finally going "Yeah I honestly think he'd be down to rejoin." "Yeah echoing that. Hes not doing anything useful." (they both know about his m34th work. coco whispers to oscar "Should we tell her?" and he replies "Isn't it more entertaining if she finds out organically?")
when they find lime, hes in the middle of a mission. doing something something i dont know, its combat though. fighting the giant tree monsters on the far edge of the giants thicket since they were terrorizing the farmers in the area. at first he didnt even realize it was her, it just seemed like some npc pedestrian caught up in the fight. doesnt even turn to look at her, just yells something generic like "Get back to the village, I can handle this!!"
and at first mochi didnt even register what the hell he was wearing, but she knew his voice and stature and the unmistakeable hair color. shocked at that response (i think she knew he didnt know it was her), she probably yells something at him to get his attention
and he recognizes her voice as soon at it comes out. it takes him a couple seconds to even process what he just heard enough to turn around, and honestly when he sees her, he thinks hes hallucinating. "...I'm losing my fucking mind, apparently." he thinks. "Illusion spell? No, what the fuck? That doesn't work on me. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night? I've never hallucinated like that before though. Maybe its some shape shifter something. Can those also mimic voices?--" just a sample of the 100 different thoughts he has in about 1 second.
but when he hears her again, a soft little "H...Hi Lime-!" that is barely even audible over the current atmosphere, he doesnt care. it could be some trick, who knows? I dont, he thinks, thats mochi.
let me tell you this boy SPRINTS to her. the amount of force in his embrace is honestly a little terrifying. mochi started sobbing instantly. No words even said, beyond a soft "Hi mochi." he mumbles into her neck. but her tears soak into his shoulder and they stay like that for god knows how long. It takes coco zipping back like "Uhhh hey sorry to interrupt soft moment but we've been holding off the tree monsters for a few minutes and oscar is getting whacked like a ragdoll soooo--"
(even then it takes lime a bit to let her go LMFAO!!! mochi is like "Oh no! Poor oscar!" and when she tries to let go lime is just LOCKED on her. "No. Not yet. He'll be fine." his voice muffles out as hes squeezing her against him. it takes a few whacks to his arm and a lot of "LIME BE SERIOUS!!" for him to very begrudgingly let her go)
but youre right hes definitely a bit clingy afterwards. maybe not in the most direct way, but he constantly has an eye on her/is standing close/wont let her go somewhere by herself kind of thing (which mochi is very happy with because she misses him like crazy. honestly shes a little nervous talking to him because shes worried they wont be like they used to, but the more they converse the more shes like "Oh hes the same as always....good.")

"Bob's Burgers" Season 2 Episode Ranking Rewatch (Long Post)
So, I've been rewatching "Bob's Burgers" from the beginning and ranking the episodes using the spreadsheet that @babsvibes created! If you want to know why I'm doing this or how I view the 1-5 rating scale, you can check out my Season 1 post!
Now, on to Season 2:
Tumblr media
Average (mean): 4.22
Mode (most common ranking) : 5
I hid the director and writer name categories when I took the picture to make it easier to focus on episode ratings. I will share my director and writer rankings when I reach the end of this project.
Season as a whole thoughts:
I really enjoy Season 2! I know everyone's got their own take on when "Bob's Burgers" really hit its stride, and many folks say Season 3 or later, but I'm going to say that for me, it had already hit that stride in Season 2. It was consistently funny, and I was surprised by how many lines from it were just burned in my memory- some without me even recognizing the source. (For example, before starting this project, the line: "You know what's free? Loading. Freeloading!" popped in my head. I did not know where it was from- not even what show. It's Louise in "Burgerboss".) "Mommy doesn't get drunk, she just has fun." "Don't feed a guy a sponge, Bobby." I could go on...
Seeing all the familiar faces who started showing up also really made it begin to feel like classic "Bob's Burgers" to me: we've got Zeke! Darryl! Sgt. Bosco! Mickey! Tammy! Honestly, I always think there is something fun in watching all the pieces of something begin to fall into place to create something wonderful, and Season 2 gave me a lot of that feeling.
In my season 1 review, I noted that if "Bob's Burgers" had been cancelled after that season, I would've been annoyed because I thought it showed promise but I wouldn't've viewed it as a tragedy (Season 1 of "Bob's Burgers" is no "Firefly"). But, Season 2 was really the beginning of the time period when I would've been outraged had it been cancelled. (Thankfully, it avoided being a two season wonder like "Joan of Arcadia" or "Saved by the Bell (2020 Revival)")
That said, the show was still figuring out some of the characters (especially Bob) and the overall family dynamic and show tone, which lead to the few episodes I didn't enjoy that much, including the only 2 I've issued so far.
Some thoughts on particular episodes:
"The Belchies": I remember watching this episode when it first aired and feeling like the show had clearly leveled up- it felt like it was beginning to realize the potential I saw in the first season. For some reason, I specifically remember watching the end credits- with Cyndi Lauper singing "Taffy Butt" and JJ dancing- and knowing that the show was capable of being more than it had been in season 1. Also, this episode is really the first example of one of my favorite "Bob's Burgers" episode types which is "the Belcher kids and their friends have an adventure!" And one of the great things about Season 2 is that the kids gain a number of friends- Hi Zeke!
"Bob Day Afternoon"- After this rewatch thing is over, I may try to do a top 20 or 25 list and this episode may be on that. I love it! In particular, the scene where the kids cling on to Bob as he is trying to take the burgers to Mickey and the hostages is one of the best of the series in terms of improv and the humor of talking over each other. And if I ever don't laugh at the part of Gene's Robot College fantasy where he walks in on his robo-roommate performing "routine maintenance" it's a sign that I am dead.
"Burgerboss"- This was a really pleasant surprise! While I knew those first two were two of my favorites, I just thought this one was kind of good- but on actually rewatching it, I found myself laughing the whole way through, so it gets a 5.
"Dr. Yap"- I generally enjoy Yap the character, as well as Gayle, but the two things I really love about this episode are the Gene and Louise jawbreaker subplot (it's fun watching those two get into a ridiculous competition over something stupid) and the Prince of Persuasia. The Prince is such a great parody of that horrible "pickup artist" style, and I find literally all his lines hilarious ("Never make her pancakes. Force her to make you pancakes- in the middle of the night.")
"Bad Tina"- Another episode that might make a top 25 list. Both storylines- the introduction of Tammy and Bob's obsession with "Cake"- are A+. They had already established a number of Tina's core traits throughout the first two seasons, but now with the addition of friend fiction and Tammy, her best of frenemies, it feels like they've fully got Tina down and we get the first great Tina episode (and Tina episodes tend to my favorites, even if Louise is my favorite character).
Okay, now the episodes I didn't like that much:
"Moody Foodie"- Why did I give this my first (and so far only) 2? Honestly, I thought it was overdone and dry.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I actually enjoy the first half of the episode. Bob's nightmare about working in an office is hilarious to me as an actual office drone. The scene where he and Louise just start yelling "overdone and dry" at passersby is great. And the farmer's market scene at the beginning has some great family banter.
And then it goes completely off the rails in the second half. The second half of the episode is "Bob Belcher and his friends and family hold a couple of dudes prisoner" which sounds more like a WTF fanfic summary than an actual episode of the show. And it's likely that this episode bothers me more now than it did when it first aired. I think they were still figuring Bob's character out and if they had ended up making him more Homer Simpson-like (prone to anger and hare-brained schemes) maybe this episode wouldn't stick out so much. Similarly, I think that all animated shows struggle a bit with figuring out how grounded in reality they are going to be. if BB had evolved into a less grounded show, this episode also might not stick out.
But it does stick out, for me at least. I just found the second half of this episode more weird and disturbing than funny (although it still had some good lines- I enjoyed Tina translating "Wet Willie" into Spanish for Pepe). If the hostage taking was a shorter part of the episode, maybe I would give it a mixed-review 3, but it is basically the main plot, and I'd rather not rewatch it.
"Beefsquatch": I don't love the physical confrontation between Bob and Gene at the end, but what stops this episode from being a 2 is that really the worst part of it (in my opinion) is actually a pretty small part of the episode. And both of them realize they were acting nuts, and their motivations seem kind-of in character to me (Bob wanted the cooking segment to be a chance to promote the restaurant, Gene wanted his performance as Beefsquatch to be the center of attention). And I just enjoy some other bits in this. "More Scotch!". Louise first enjoying than getting burnt out by her involvement in Gene and Bob's prank war. And Gene's flashback to accidentally gluing his wiener to his remote control helicopter- followed by Louise's "accidentally on purpose!" and them high-fiving. (The high-five cracks me up so much! It's such a silly thing to high-five over!)
Random thoughts (stuff that doesn't affect the ratings):
-It was fun to see the introduction of the exterminator van being different each episode after seeing "Rat's All Folks!" for all of season 1.
-Peter Pescadero is back- and he has his correct face after that weirdness in "Spaghetti Western and Meatballs"! Has anybody written a fic about why his face changed? Like "Face/Off" but with Peter Pescadero (just one idea)?
-Generally, I try not to nitpick about continuity on the show that much. I think they do a really good job, especially by standards of animated comedies (but honestly, really all comedies). But it does bug me that there is a whole episode in a later season about how Louise can only poop in her home toilet when in "Synchronized Swimming" she poops in public pool. She named it Jezebel for crying out loud! It's Bob and Linda's grand-doody! JEZEBEL CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN!
Well, clearly I've been writing for too long and have gone crazy. See you when I'm done with Season 3, whoever may be reading these!

"Okay fillies, first order of business!" 
Taffy squawked in her usual shrill voice, squeezing her pillow tight to her chest as he snuggled in with her two best gal pals. 
Blue was much too busy re-clipping her mane behind her ears to pay attention, so it would be up to River to begin. 
"Any interesting news from you? Manic Pixie Dream Mare over here is lost her in own reflection like usual." 
“Taffy, I cant believe you didn’t go first!” River exclaimed. “Do you not remember all the juice we got from the family reunion two weeks ago? The stories we could tell about that alone!”
Taffy rolled her eyes and attempted to stifle her laughter into her pillow. 
"Oh stop it you!" 
She said when her head popped up, trying to rack her brain with what to share first. At this point Blue began to pay attention, looking between them both with a cocked eyebrow. 
"Wellll I did hear that a certain somepony got into a fight with Aunt AJ again, right in front of everypony! Summer is such a hothead! What was it about this time? She was lurking around and Jackie told her to kick rocks and find something to do!" 
Taffy started slamming her claws into the pillow to mimick stomping hooves. 
"I swear Blue, she was wailing like a foal! What were you up to River? The rock farm is pretty big, I didn't see you too often."
“I was getting the scoop from Varmint, of course! She was mostly showing off her snakes as always. Brackish practically begged to hold one, like it would really make him more of a stallion! Varmint knew what she was talking about when she said it would bite him. She’s not an expert for nothing-“ 
River quickly took notice of Blue. “What’s got you blushing so hard, darling?”
Blue was blushing hard, her coat was a gentle cornflower color but her cheeks were bright electric blue. Her words stuttered out between her lips as she put one hoof over her eyes to mask her embarrassment. 
Taffy yanked her arm away and got in real close to her face. 
"You have an ooey gooey fillyhood crush don't youuuu!" 
"No I..." 
"She gives you butterflies in your stomach-" 
Taffy began to whisper into her ear. 
"-makes you feel all slithery like a snake?"~ 
At this Blue began to kick and fell over onto her back, no longer able to stifle her childish laughter, Taffy being pushed back onto River. 
"Okay okay! You got me! She's just so smart and brave and strong! Varmint is like Daring Do or something, but cuter and cooler!"
“Cuter and cooler than Daring Do, you say? She must be special indeed!”
River quipped, leaning in with a smirk. 
“You’ve got it baaad, girl!” Taffy laughed along.
“So when are you asking her out? There’s no other way she’ll know~”
"I just mean that she uh...she's very brave, choosing to surround herself with that kind of stuff-" 
It was clear Blue was stalling as she struggled to come up with an excuse on the spot. 
"-WHICH IS WHY I CAN'T BOTHER HER!" 
She suddenly blurted out. Taffy, queen of bothering ponies, butted in right away. 
"Why not? If she’s a professional, she should be prepared for any distractions. Pretend your pet snake you don't have is sick or something!" 
Blue, speechless and mouth agape, turned to River with a 'do something' gaze.
River, of course, didn’t help Blue’s case at all. 
“What a marvelous idea! Get her talking about her snakes so you can get her where she’s most comfortable, then you can strike. We can even get you a snake to be your ‘pet’ if you want to be truly convincing.” 
A sly grin spread across her face.
Blue proceeded to shove her face into the pillow, her face barely high enough for her voice to be legible.
"Fine. If she kicks my tail for wasting her time it's YOU GUYS’ fault." 
... 
"I want a cute little cornsnake."

Klaus Goldstein Ch13 [12~16]
Tumblr media
so this option was presented… but is there enough time for these the time limit is 10 minutes, I don't think they'll have much time
Well the first option was rejected due to lack of time, and…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is fairly interesting information so they have to search here?
I didn't (or should I say couldn't) watch the third option, but it would've been rejected due to lack of time, just like the first one
Tumblr media
um… the time has come so they failed after all?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this will have a significant impact on the image of the academy sorry Remb… but it made people got curious it couldn't be help
oh, I know how to solve this we can use something called "money" this time I heard that if you put a lot of money in their pocket, you can somehow solve the problem
Tumblr media
well it happened in times like this, behave with confidence there's no use begging for leniency from him anyway, so just behave with confidence yeah you guys hid the book that thoroughly, so it made me want to see the contents more it's your fault for keeping security that tight
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Translation: You were acting so fucking suspicious that I wanted to do some background research. Any complaints?
Tumblr media
Translation: You didn't tell us anything despite you told us to investigate, so we had to do some research on our own. Why didn't share the right amount of information at the right time? It's your fault anyway.
Tumblr media
no? I don't trust him I'm sure he's plotting something else nasty behind
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ooh… why didn't share the right amount of information at the right time I'm not sure if that's real or a bluff, but in any case, based on the current situation, Thana was not the one who actually carried out the theft well… that taffy-like entity bothers me a bit though when is this thing going to show up
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
he is… the culprit? no way that can't be possible why would he willingly be involved in such a bothersome thing? it's not like Zeus asked for it besides he was with Remb ask him, he could prove his innocence
Tumblr media
that's misunderstanding those fucking marks were also at the academy that's just circumstantial evidence are you sure he's the only one who can do the dimension rip? or are there any eyewitness accounts of him? you're just bring in it since there's no direct evidence
and I don't agree with that remark there must be a reason or basis for Hiro's ability like succession through blood relations, or getting some kind of item
Tumblr media
okay Hiro is not a culprit cause the Ministry is wrong once you go against the Ministry's opinion, you can get closer to the correct answer
but really, why didn't he refute it why isn't he putting up any resistance oi Hiro why tho
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so there is a technology that separates the soul from the body in this WH sekai interesting but is it possible to combine them again irreversible process, isn't it this is practically the death penalty, and he's throwing this without any discussion eeh…
Klaus insisted on hearing at least an explanation, but…
Tumblr media
I don't think he's the culprit though the evidence you present is not perfect but then again, what can I expect from a skull that doesn't even have a brain in it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ooh… Remb! finally someone came here to save them
Tumblr media
I said that, Remb could prove his innocence but why didn't Hiro say it first I myself accompanied the Headmaster on his visit to the Minister of Justice. This can be proven by him (or the Minister too). he could say like this, but why? is there any reason why he can't say anything
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah!! I said that admit your decision is wrong, you skull
Tumblr media
um…… I don't think so I'm sure there's something more behind it but well at least they got spared

I have been afflicted with the mortal devastation that is womanhood, curled up in my bed with a heating pad pretending it is a little black cat purring. 😩 Do you think Chat would know what a period is when he meets Marinette or would she have to explain why he needs to make biscuits on her lower abdomen and make himself into a mini furnace in cat form all day as she lays whimpering below him? She’d be a bit cranky about it I think. Maybe Luka knows her schedule and comes by to check up on her and has to quietly explain while she’s asleep. Chat attunes himself to her cycle from then on and he’s always prepared to warn her about leaving a rag down before bed and makes sure he’s in place when she wakes up in pain. Gives her back and whole body massages. Helps bathe her. A sweet boy. Runs into town for supplies from the market if needed. Teaches Felix how to care for her, too. Anything to keep their witch relaxed and in as little pain as possible. 😭
YESYESYESYYSYeysSEYyesSYEYSEYESYESYES
okay but adding onto this, i think chat knows about it, but only in the theoretical sense? as in, he was taught the reproductive system (plagg brought anatomicals made out of wood. chat thought it was bad until tikki showed him irl anatomicals. chat didn't sleep for a week) but since he never experienced it himself, he probably didn't realize juist how debilitating it could be!
he thought it would be minimum pain, a few complaints, but doable? a papercut. a tummy hurt.
he was WRONG.
cut to marinette's menstruation cycle being so bad she gets fevers from it sometimes, but chat does so well with the chaos (as if he wouldn't in the first place, though he is actually very grateful for luka's sudden help).
he's overjoyed to do his duties as a familiar. everytime luka makes fun of him for it, chat flicks a mini fireball in his direction.
she's miserable, fatigued, curled up under the bedsheets and pants out apologies for not being a good host when luka comes around. she can't even move. when they're both able to convince her, chat gives her spongebaths in the washroom. although he does his absolute best to lobby his point about letting him do the laundering, she doesn't let him wash out the rags or clean her up entirely— she does that on her own, making herself clean and using all the magic she has to make sure there's not the scent of anything in the washroom when she's done.
chat feeds her soup. lots of it. she adores the taffy candy that luka brings for her in order to feel better. chat refuses to leave her alone when the cramps get too bad, kneading the shit out of her in an attempt to make her feel better.
(she's so miserable at being such a fatigued witch. she thinks chat must hate that she's so weak. she has no idea that chat knows VERY WELL (at least, anatomically speaking) what she's going through, and doesn't blame her in the slightest for feeling so down from it.)

Barmey and Mind's relationship headcanons 👀👀 (same guy sorry)
thisll be a mix of their relationship + past relationships
Freemind's will mention Eddie, bc of this i will say my Eddie =/= Eddie's mind Eddie, idk shit abt that one, my Eddie is based entirely off of the stories Fm told in his canon story. (just so ppl dont get confused or something)
Barmey's relationships;
He tends to date people he met online in mmo's, most of the time he doesn't actually have a thing for them tho bc he didnt know he was gay for far too long
he's still friends with his old GF from high school, they broke up in college bc he felt like they were better friends, she was an exchange student and was the most popular girl in school. If he told you this you would probably not believe him.
Thought relationships were supposed to be awkward for the entire relationship
Never realizes anyone is flirting with him, if he does notice anything he thinks they're joking
had less relationships in elementary -> high school (until he met his gf) bc he was one of the only trans guys in the entire shitty Arizona town no one wanted to date him. and if they did he wouldn't have even noticed tbh
The only time he started REALLY questioning his sexuality was when he met Freemind in college but just assumed that he just thought he was really cool
Now that they're dating he finally realizes why people want to kiss and stuff. he thought ppl just over hyped relationship stuff
you might be surprised but he's the top in this relationship
Will literally jump to tell anyone everything abt his boyfriend even if it's what everyone sees as 100 red flag stories in a row
Very easy to make jealous but he tries to not be weird about it most of the time
literally trapped in the honey moon phase for the rest of their lives
once as a romantic gesture he made an entire rube goldberg machine throughout their entire apartment that ended with a box of banana laffy taffy dropping onto Freemind's bed. literally Freemind will bring this up to everyone
desperately tries to win prizes for his bf at fairs or amusement parks but always fails. he fucking sucks at them bc he gets nervous. If absolutely no one is looking at him he would get a perfect score
he is a little bit better at showing his affection than Freemind is
He's not had many bad relationships or anything, mostly bc he doesn't often go on dates with people. (dating regularly bothered him bc to cut time out of his schedule)
When he has tried dating Often people think he's kind of cringy or annoying bc of his very specific interests so they never clicked.
Freemind's Relationships;
Freemind has not so good luck with people, his past relationships never lasted that long for one reason or another.
He tends to be very bad at figuring out when people are into him or completely hate him. He often reads it completely wrong (Someone who doesn't like him = they want him, someone who obviously wants him = wants to kill him)
Similar to Barmey he didn't have much dating luck as a young guy bc he was trans + an actual lunatic. Plus he looked like a nerd for most of his years until he started his punk phase when he was 15. His town wasn't as small as Barmey's so they didnt know anyone (he lives in a town CLOSE but not IN Seattle in most of my headcanons. I have no reason why this is different. sometimes he does live there tho depends on the day for me)
Despite talking a big game he has a lot of trouble flirting with girls first bc they scare him, bc of this he tends to only get flirty when they flirt with him first bc he's too intimidated to actually do anything
he has gotten pepper sprayed before, not for anything serious he just has absolutely 0 luck. Once it was because his ex gf was mad that he made a pipe bomb in her garage and once it's bc some stranger mistook him for someone else when he went to talk to her. He was also tazed once but that was bc he lost a bet with his gf at the time
He dated ONE normal person exactly one time and it was the weirdest relationship he'd ever been in. He would literally rather date someone who slashes his tires bc he forgot their birthday over someone who's favorite hobby is going on hikes. Never again
Tends to prefer flings over actual relationships
made out with like 50 different dudes in college and still didn't realize he was bisexual until he was living in New Mexico (this depends on the au i'm thinking of bc sometimes he been knew and sometimes he doesn't) He thought this was just normal college shenanigans
He also gets jealous like Barmey does. They are mutually jealous ppl when it comes to eachother.
Eddie is his drug deal and best friend from high school, depending on universe he slept with him or fooled around w/ him at least once. But they have no romantic feelings for each other, just mutual attraction.
Freemind tends to date girls who want to burn down peoples houses and crash cars. Sometimes this is fine sometimes it isn't. He prefers punks + goth/emo + weird girls, he prefers fatter girls who are tall but any height and body type he can find attractive.
As for men, he prefers guys who are dumb as a bag of rocks and infuriating OR absolutely batshit crazy or both. He tends to prefer Fatter tall men. but any height and body type he can find attractive.
Was that guy who refused to say "I love you" in like every single relationship he was ever in, his relationships were often mutually unhealthy.
However there was the rare moment where he would become absolutely infatuated with someone bc they were perceived 'better' by his mental illness. If they broke up he would either immediately hate them or spiral into thinking he's the worst person alive. This happened once while he was dating a girl who cheated on him, after their breakup he spiraled.
Now that he's dating Barmey he has to learn how to love and be affectionate like a most people. The best way for him to do this is to randomly gift Barmey things that he knows he likes. (like a "Look i thought about and remember the thing you like.")
He does a lot of cooking specifically for Barmey bc although he doesn't like cooking that much he's good at it and it's better than the garbage Barmey eats nearly daily . This is another sign of affection bc usually he wouldn't care.
^ in the same vein, another form/proof of love is that Barmey can be in the kitchen while he cooks, which is crazy bc usually Freemind absolutely despises when people are in the kitchen with him when he cooks bc it overwhelms him. But not Barmey :)
Is not normal about asking for cuddle time he will enter the room and just stare at Barmey until he notices him or sit very very close to him until Barmey initiates like a damn cat. Luckily Barmey usually does.
He WILL however initiate holding his hands constantly. it's one of his favorite forms of affection when they're outside together. He also likes putting his arm around him while walking.
Freemind parades Barmey around like Barmey is his trophy husband. He would actually attack you if you said anything rude to Barmey right in front of him.

Dionyusus kid fanfic alleyway chat with art
May go deeper into stories mentioned in this if it gets enough support
It was weird when Deliah started going to New York for school and weirder when she joined my school. It was just weird to see her bang open and get frustrated over her locker and read romance books in math instead of riding a winged horse or sparring with a sword that was once a bracelet. Or the fact the same girl crouching behind a dollar tree was the girl who was assumed dead on a quest only to show up with a shaved head and sunken eyes on her pale skin after being trapped on a island for some petty crime to a god.
So weird i had to go up to her I coudnt just tell her how weird it was she was being a normal teenager so I just muttered "you look homeless" only to be meet with a deserved glare from violet eyes that no one seemed to question but I looked downward at a cheap marble set and actually had a conversation starter "do you like to play" only to be meet with a patient sigh used to me not choosing the best words and luckily responded instead of smacking my head like she used to "eh a bit one of the few things my dad taught me for the few years he stayed whenever he wanted a break while my mom was at work he'd have me and my brother play eachother for a dollar" it was weird qhen she talked about her father he just seems normal until you see her beaded necklace or smell the scent of grapes that never seem to waver off that you remember her father was a god who sought after some mortal and only stayed for a short while that she was considered lucky to have before just vanishing.
It was also weird how we became somewhat freinds before she was brought to camp she would bully me and even at camp she sparred me extra rough but now she was scooting over and tossing a knock off rootbeer can at me. "Sort of feels weird I turned seventeen a few days ago after I was claimed thought I'd be eaten by a monster or be stuck on that island with my cyclops ancestor forever" She huffed opening up as she drank the shitty root beer that somehow tasted like black taffy.
"Heh I remember when everyone thought you did die and since we didn't have a body we burnt your bed spread" I chuckled it was sad at the type even though we were rocky its always shocking when a normal person in your life that you know is just gone one day "shroud was nice through had purple beads sewn on burnt nicely with your pillows" I remarked though it was sad of her half brother seeing a empty shroud assuming his dead sister's body was decomposing somewhere only to come up with the closest thing to her that could fill the void.
Things went awkwardly quiet I did just tell her about her own burial but soon she just leaned her head back and chuckled "ah yeah it was fun after floating in a small boat to find out you had to use a old lumpy pillow and a thin blanket" I remembered her return she wondered in fist bumping the air quickly before going straight to the showerd before being stopped by her half brother and soon freinds it was a nice reunion and the small party they had on the beach during dinner was fun but the whole time she was probally feeling like shit "then when I was finally rested I had to find out what lack of showering,a proper diet,and sea water along with no hair brushes can ruin your hair and then you get it to shave it off after borrowing a older boys shears" She said running her hand through her much shorter hair but it was alot better then when she was forced to shave herself to a near stubble.
I soon watched as she half hazardly rolled as it fell quiet it was a bit soothing to think we managed to pass the odds and live so long to seventeen but sad with how many others died on quests and how many people you know died it quickly humbled your pride of making it so far.
I started to stare at the clouds as a few became pinkish signaling that it was getting late but it was calming it made me feel warm on a chilly night and soon I heard her again talking "but what's next" confused I just looked at her and shrugged reaching for my soda and taking a sip of the weird flavor as she sighed
"Where nearly adualts if our luck keeps up we'll be adults sure we can go to the college but what's next do I just get a job and fill out my taxes in a apartment kitchen sipping cold coffee like I didn't once cut off a chimerea's tail or trapped a lamia under a lake near a budget carnival and then go feed my cat or drop my kids of at school like my twin brother wasn't killed by a minotaur!"She said clutching onto her hair seeming panicked I knew I should say something but before I could even think of the words she started again "I know that were lucky and all but I can't just suddenly live a normal life yea sure I want it I want to be a trucker like my stepdad i want to enter strongman contests but I know I won't be ready when I get there I know that I can't settle down when I know that there are monsters and that my father who I thought left me is a literal God and that my step mom was a ancient greece princess turnt goddess" she said like she was still processing it like how she was when she first found out
I coudnt help but ponder it I never really thought of what I wanted to do I always thought I'd die and yea it's likely one or both of us will before we get there but us actually growing up gets likelier likelier each year that it'd be dumb not to even more with how little time we get to fully realize we'll become adults and then plan out future. It would feel weird to suddenly leave sword fighting and riding winged horses or seeing monsters and gods to then go to a office job and make up lies that your father is missing,dead,or left you when really he's up in Olympus controlling the world and that you have a ton of half siblings and probally have even more now.
Soon I just leaned against her to comfort her even though I regretted it when I felt hiw scratchy yet somehow smooth her jacket was on my cheek but it was too late "you could always run around the woods and kill or party with monsters" her face seemed to soften as she seemed to calm down avoiding her having a panic attack and soon I smirked "or you could join the maeneds and follow them around while they go crazy for your dad" that one deserved me a familiar smack on the head "agh no its so weird the only reason I got close to them was because of him being my dad and they had no problem making it clear with all the questions they asked" She said laughing I coudnt help but laugh too rembering how she gave them his new phone number and how pissed he was at the constant ringing till he opened it and yelled and chiron who called from a school at the wrong time. It was fun till he made Deliah go change his number as even though back then he was on his probation and coudnt leave camp she found out that doesn't stop him from sending his kids to do chores for him.
As we soon stopped laughing she yawned before looking at me or in my direction her eye contact was always confusing "yknow running around the woods doesn't seem so bad maybe I could have a few other of the lucky campers and some satyrs and nymphs join and we'd do what we want till we were satisfied and go back to whatever normal is for us or is supposed to be" She said contently and soon we just calmed down and looked at the setting sun and all the weird colors in they sky.

Lisa,
I love hearing about your new project. I do hope you'll post photos! I would personally go with "I'll love you forever." (It is also my favorite quote so I am a little biased!)
I am unsurpised we both enjoy campy movies, would we be here if we didn't? It's funny, I've been attending RHPS since my 13th birthday. That is probably what really got me into horror and camp and things like that.
I'm curious what your 'canon' is like, what your thoughts and theories about the end of our story is, etc, etc.
- Creature
P.s.: Sorry if responses are sparse this week!
please don't worry about not being able to talk much! it's not like i'm owed your time or anything. i'm happy to read your 'letters' whenever they get to me :)
i think it was also rocky horror that got me into camp and horror fully? but i've been listening to hair metal/glam rock for a long long time, and there's a lot of elements of camp in that too. twisted sister's whole schtick was a gateway drug, i think. i hadn't been to a midnight screening until just last year though, since finding a theater near me that actually put on proper screenings was near impossible
i'll for sure be posting photos of the project as i make progress on it. and thanks for the input on the quote! i agree, it's kinda my favorite quote of the bunch, but i think i held out on actually deciding on it 'cause it feels less like a "merch tagline"? but that actually will probably make it better, since it's my own personal project. as soon as my craft store has the bright pink embroidery thread i need back in stock, my work will begin
as for my 'canon'... unfortunately, what i remember is mostly little snippets of moments that are shown in the source. one of those moments i remember most vividly is when creature first played the piano? up until that point he was mostly just a... concept to me? i cared about him, sure, but there was this sort of... disconnect. like the care you have for a pet, i guess. and that feels really bad to say, but i had spent a long time, months, just spending time with his gravestone and thinking of him as an abstract concept? he still kinda was once he came back. but i distinctly remember the feeling of. realization, i guess. where creature really became a person. he always was, of course, i was just a little blind at the time. that's definitely the moment where i started to fall in love with him too, even if it took me still longer to really get there intellectually.
i do remember little glimpses of moments from before, too. grass and mud stains on my jeans cause i was working on homework or a poem at bachelor's after it rained and forgot to bring a blanket to sit on. i remember brushing my teeth and washing my pj's like 5 times the morning after creature first showed up cause i couldn't get the smell out of my mouth or out of the cloth. i think i threw those pj's away, actually. i remember being hugged. creech always hugged so tight, like it was the last time he could ever hug anyone? it was nice
i try not to remember the actual moment of death, and i don't know anything that happened between death and rebirth, really. but after coming back it was. kinda rough. better cause i had someone to help me through it. it's another one of those 'i remember vague snippets and feelings' things. but i remember that my eyes were shot for a bit, i think they got. replaced. somehow. i never really got my depth perception back 100% though. i remember the feeling of missing taffy? i loved my sister, but logically it makes sense to not see her cause the whole 'corpse' thing would've done way more harm than good
i wish i remembered more things solidly, but finding these memories is almost always like trying to remember a dream the next morning, ya know?
what do you remember from your 'canon', etc etc? i hope you have an easier time remembering things, 'cause my way of grasping at straws to remember things kinda blows

Honestly, the Ghost Chasers would probably have some funny interactions with the other H-B sleuths, considering they can get pretty reckless when they think they see a real ghost, Butch gets reckless when he's on missions, and Scrappy gets reckless when he sees an opportunity to fight a monster. I can totally see the others getting stressed out trying to prevent mayhem from happening.
I do think there's fun potential with the Ghost Chasers meeting the other Mystery Teen gangs. In particular I like the idea of them meeting with groups who don't interact with the supernatural often if at all. Like, a group like the Mighty Mystery Comics Kids wouldn't find it their actions strange, but other groups like the Clue Club for instance would probably wonder why the Ghost Chasers are trying to talk with the supernatural creature instead of figuring out if its real or not or even just running away from it.
I do interpret Ted and Tina as a bit less reckless than Gillie, though. They certainly have the same passion and willingness for ghost hunting that Gillie does, but they're a bit more level-headed about it. At the very least, they have the self preservation instinct to run away from a ghost directly threatening their lives, which Gillie seems not to most of the time.
Going back to characters interactions, with a focus on Gillie, it's coincidental you mentioned Butch specifically since a crossover friendship idea I really like but haven't done anything with yet is him, Gillie, and Taffy. Taffy is another character that has a reckless streak to her, and is also one to purposefully create plans that directly involve herself as the "bait" as it were, similar to Butch doing everything himself. I think the three would bond over this general recklessness and willingness to do what needs to be done in their eyes (though I imagine they wouldn't refer to themselves like that specifically).
It's an interesting trio to think about to me because they're each reckless in a slightly different way. On the one end is Gillie, who has a classic kind of recklessness, where he's so caught up in the moment he isn't thinking clearly. On the other end is Taffy, who has a purposefully sort of recklessness, who is intentionally putting herself into danger and her friends are aware of it so they can help her if need be. In the middle then is Butch, who also plans to put himself in danger, but does so in a very spur-of-the-moment way so his friends don't actually know what's going on/it seems like he didn't plan it.
I also think its a neat combination because each of them represent a different Mystery Teen Show Archetype, with Butch being the Leader Guy, Taffy being the Second-in-Command/Pretty Girl, and Gillie being the Comic Relief Guy. All they need is Goober to be the companion character and they're good to go. (Though the real question is, would Goober try to wrangle all three of them, or just focus on stopping Gillie from getting into more trouble than usual?)
I haven't actually considered how Scrappy would interact with the kids of the other Mystery Teen shows - since I associate Scrappy with the 1980s and thus past the era of the 1970s Teen Detectives - but I do think there's potential there. Staying with Gillie, my initial thought is that they would get along, as both are willing to face ghosts/monsters, and there's also the bonus of Goober and Scooby bonding over having to chase their reckless companions down and stop them from getting hurt. (I once saw a suggestion that the Goober + Gillie relationship is a sort of precursor to the Scooby + Scrappy one, which I think is an interesting thing to consider.)
However, I do think there's also some potential for conflict there, too, given that Scrappy wants to fight all monsters and the Ghost Chasers are ultimately pro-ghost. I can see the Ghost Chasers (especially Gillie) getting frustrated by Scrappy unintentionally ruining a photo or interview opportunity by jumping on the ghost. There would definitely need to be some lessons in Nice Ghost vs. Mean Ghost for Scrappy.
The other Mystery Teen group that first comes to mind for Scrappy is actually the Chan Clan. The Chan Clan tend to be culprit-focused detectives, with the group splitting off into teams to track down who they each think did it, which I think Scrappy's "there's the bad guy let's get him!" attitude would fit in well with. Logically he would probably fit best with the youngest Chan kids, since he's a puppy and all. His energy would match Flip + Scooter's, and he could probably serve to help calm down any concerns Nancy + Mimi have, also since he's a puppy and all. (Chu-Chu's may not approve though.)
However, if you're looking for funny interactions in particular, I think there's humor to be had in Scrappy being with Stanley and Henry. Imagine Henry seeing Scrappy, a Great Dane puppy, and assuming that he'd be focused on sniffing out clues and stuff. Then imagine Scrappy immediately joining in with whatever plan Stanley comes up with instead, so Henry now has two people to try and control. Jokes abound. (And as a bonus, if Scooby is with them, then there's a chance Henry can't even rely on him, since if Stanley comes up with a plan that involves one of his disguises, then its likely Scooby will want to join in too.)

yourusername welcome back to my post game penalty box update show: quinny tried his best edition!
there were a total of fourteen penalties in this game, including some misconducts for laffy taffy, but none of them belonged to quintin! way to go, best friend! (this is lie. i’m disappointed. angry, even. please crime. i’ll give you a dollar.)
what did bring me immense joy was quinn literally jumping into a scrum and proceeded to get yanked out of it via his neck! he looked quite terrified after he did it, and i was laughing my ass off at home! (also him getting knocked down) (tysm flyers for that one) (took me back to childhood) (it was great)
this game was very painful to watch, but at least no one died! and at least we're 2-1-0! the devils are not that! that's a win in my book!
i love you way past infinity, quinny💙 drop gloves next time! i'm still proud of you for jumping in though! just spice it up for me!
p.s. to my blonde king and princess— i love you both, too! i'm so proud! you're both doing so great at human-ing!

HiJack AU - Rise of the Guardians Plotbunnies
Tumblr media
(Context: Before Hiccup returns to HQ when the Guardian signal came up, he was spending time with Jack, as per usual. When the signal came up, he had to go. Jack looked disappointed, because Hiccup had just arrived a bare ten minutes ago. It was the quickest the Aide of Hope had to leave. Hiccup was in a rush to leave, since it was the first time in a long time that the urgent signal was put up to assemble all guardians at the same time, the last time was to report about what had happened to Kozmotis. In his rush, he wasn't thinking, and accidentally kissed Jack on the cheek in a parting kiss.
They were both shock.
Tumblr media
Before Jack could collect himself to make a respond, Hiccup dashed off, all the while thinking "Shit shit shit shit shit what did I just DO?!)
More details added to the Answer (an ask from @hamish-fanfic-fangirl )already mentioned here
The Guardians love children, as they are the Guardians of Childhood. They can't, however, have children. With the exception of Kozmotis and Anastasia's relationship, as they were created together at the same time by Manny.
Manny formed Pitch to safeguard chaos energy that would strike fears in children and leave them traumatize, impeding a healthy and happy development of growing up. Anastasia was formed at the same time, because children, and to an extent people, need to live in a harmonize environment, right?
The Guardians do consider themselves, as what humans coined nowadays, as 'Found family.' Addition to that, they think if they could have kids, they would be like and be treated like their aides.
They joke about it sometimes; North fits the role of a dad, as leader of the Guardians, Thiana being like the mother, with Aster, Sandy, and Kozmotis like uncles. Sandy's the "cool" uncle with a lot of stories to tell (or show). Kozmotis is the "chill" uncle who leaves you be but offers sage wisdom whether or not you ask for them. Aster is the one who nags a lot, sometimes more than the parents but is exciting to spend time with because of all his cool tricks.
Jamie and Astrid found it awkward, but Thiana was being playful and pretending to be like a parent and giving Jamie 'the shovel talk', when Astrid and Jamie got together, as she heard a story told to her by North, from Jim.
She was sweet about it though, going on about how they should be caring of each other and how lovely it all was so Jim made a remark later that he didn't think the guardian of memories got the point of a 'Shovel talk'
Even to the aides that aren't their own, the Guardians do feel rather paternal/maternal towards them.
Dialogue
North: Sandy, thank you for coming.
Sandy descends from the plane and floats to the ground. He joins North, Bunny and Tooth as they walk through the Globe Room. Sand glyphs appear above Sandy's head communicating
Jamie: He says that he is busy and has a lot of work to do.
North: I understand, you work ‘round the clock, da, But I obviously wouldn't have called you all here unless it was serious.
North, Bunny, Tooth and Sandy reach the center of the room. Tooth does her best to shush her mini-fairies.
North: Kozmotis as the Boogeyman was here at the Pole. *points to the globe. The everyone turns to look.*
Astrid: *shocked* Sir Kozmotis? Here? After all this time...
Jamie: Jim, did you really see...
Jim: Well, I didn't but sir North had. I think, I... Wait. *frowning as he looked around in concern* Where's Dimitri?
Tooth: But... Pitch Black? Was it really him?
North: Yes! There was black sand covering the globe.
Aster: What, what...what do you mean black sand?
North: And then a shadow!                                                
Aster: Hold on, hold on, I thought you said you saw Pitch.
North: Well, ah, not exactly...
Aster: Not exactly? Can you believe this guy?
Bunny turns to Sandy, who shrugs while forming a Dreamsand question mark above his head....
Aster: Yeah, you said it, Sandy.
Bunny goes back to painting one of his Easter eggs.
North: Look, he is up to something very bad. *gropes his gut* I feel it, in my belly.
Aster: *eyes narrow* Hang on, hang on, you mean to say, you summoned me here THREE DAYS BEFORE EASTER - because of your? Mate, if I did this to you three days before Christmas-
Tooth (to her fairies): Argentina. Priority alert! A batch of bicuspids in Buenos Aires.  Weather advisory, Astrid?
Astrid: *Pauses* Fair, all of them. Snowstorm warning in Moscow.
Jamie: Maybe that's where Jack is now.
Jim: And maybe Hic too; would explain why he's running late... Now Dimitri...           
North grabs Bunny's painted egg, casually juggling it in his          hand as he walks off. Meanwhile Sandy, who is being served          eggnog by a yeti, suddenly notices something high above.         
North: Please. Bunny. Easter is not Christmas.
Aster: *sarcastic laugh* Here we go... North, I, I don't have time for           this. I've still got two million eggs to finish up.
The moon rises into view, high up in the ceiling; its rays of light begin to shine brightly through as they cascade down the walls of the globe room.
North: No matter how much you paint, is still egg!
Sandy points to the moon unsuccessfully to get the others' attention. Even Jamie is distracted with Jim and Astrid, talking about whether one of them (Jim) should go and get Dimitri. Their guardians are distracted and they didn't want to interrupt them...
Aster: Look, mate, I'm dealing with perishables. Right. You've got all year to prepare.                                                
Tooth (to her fairies): Pittsburg, boy eight, two molars. Saltwater taffy.
Sandy puts his fingers in his mouth to whistle, a silent musical note forming above his head.                                                
North (to Aster): Why are rabbits always so nervous.
Aster: And why are you always such a blowhard!                                  
Tooth (to her fairies): Ontario, sector nine: five canines, two molars, and fourteen incisors. Is that all in one house?
Sandy waves a sand flag above his head, pointing and jumping and down as the moonlight continues to fill the room.
North: Tooth! Can't you see we're trying to argue.
Tooth: *Good naturedly* Sorry, not all of us get to work one night a year. Am I right, Sandy?
Sandy tries to signal with a golden arrow, pointing toward the ceiling, but to no avail as the others continue their bickering. Sandy thinks Tooth has noticed for a split second, but then-    
Tooth (to her fairies): San Diego, sector two! Five incisors, a bicuspid and a really loose molar on stand-by.
North: I know it was him. We have serious situation!
Aster: Well, I've got a serious situation with some eggs.
Tooth: Hey, I hate to interrupt the, "We work so hard once a year club" but could we concentrate on the matter-
A silhouette comes out from a black spot of a shadow in the middle of the room, and Dimitri comes up and stumbles out from it. The aide of the former Guardian of Chaos seemed recovering from injuries. Even with his quick healing, it's taking some time...
Jim: Dimitri!
Jim rushes to help support him...
Tooth: Oh dear!
Astrid: Is he okay?
Dimitri: Sorry... The darkness is more restless than ever for some reasons. I had to defeat about a dozen minions before securing and leaving the base.
Jim: Wha- so if Pitch is really back, why hadn't he showed up here yet?
North: He did lad!
Jim: All due respect sir, you said it was a shadow.
North: Shadows are his thing!
Dimitri: I don't think that was Pitch yet, but a harbinger, maybe? If he had awoken, I think I would be the first to know.
Aster: Hah!
Sandy can't take it anymore, grabs an elf by his hat, and vigorously shakes it's bell. The other Guardians are finally silenced and all turn to look at Sandy, who points up, a sand crescent moon forming above his head. The dizzy elf staggers away. Finally the others turn to see the shaft of moonlight as it concentrates on the circle between them as Manny starts beaming down into the room...
North: Aah! Man in Moon! Sandy, why didn't you say something?
Sandy gives him a deadpan stare, Dream sand smoke shoots out his ears.                                                
North (to Man in Moon as he finally appears, with Anastasia by his side) : It's been a long time old friend! Madam Mother Nature *bows curtly*
Manny: Likewise.
Anastasia: A pleasure as always, North.
North: So... What is big news?
Manny: Before I get that, there is one thing I need to address first...
Everyone looks to the center of the room where Manny manipulates moonlight to shine down intensely, the light ebbs away, leaving a dark spot ---- which resolves into the shadowed silhouette of Pitch. The Guardians look on, stunned.                                                
Aster: It is Pitch.                                  
North pats his belly and gives Bunny a look...
North: Manny... what must we do?
Manny: The matter I mentioned needing to be addressed...
The shadow of Pitch disappears and the circle of moonlight intensifies and shrinks, concentrating further luminating an ornate symbol on the floor, at the center of their circle. The symbol rises out of the ground revealing a large gem at the head of a pillar.                                                
Tooth: Ah, guys, you know what this means?
The moons light suddenly refracts through the gem casting          light all over the chamber.                                                
North: He's choosing an aide for himself.
Aster: What?! You never needed one before, why now?
North: Must be big deal! Manny thinks we all need help!
Aster: We have our help. *Gestures to all aides present* Now if my own would show up too...                                               
Tooth: I wonder who it's gonna be?
Then a bright flash, a rush of wind- and a FIGURE resolves over the central pillar: slight, hooded, bearing a familiar  hooked staff.                                                
North:
North: Jack Frost.
The Mini-Teeth all sigh and swoon as the Guardians stand there, stunned.                                                
Jim: Well then, at least Hiccup's going to be happy
Astrid: *Shrugs, and idly shifts her axe from one hand to another* Well, as long as he does his part in caring for the children…
Tooth: And Hiccup’s going to be motivated more than ever now too.
Aster: Jack Frost!? He doesn't care about children! All he does is freeze water pipes and mess with my egg hunts. Right? He's an irresponsible, selfish...                                                
Manny: Aide.                            
Aster: I can tell you that Jack Frost is a lot of things, but he's--
Hiccup finally flies in with Toothless
Hiccup: I'm sorry I'm late! *He jumps down from Toothless* Snow storm in Moscow delayed me... Er, among other things...
Everyone looks at him
North: Perfect timing Hiccup! We need you to find Jack and bring him here.
Hiccup, remembering his final moments with Jack before leaving, looked mortified...
Hiccup: Do you guys hate me or something?

Daughter of the Sea - Chapter 3
Tumblr media
Percy's POV
Confession time: I ditch Grover as soon as we get to the bus terminal.
I know, I know. It was rude. But Grover is kinda freaking me out, looking at me like I am a dead man, muttering, "Why does this always happen?" and "Why does it always have to be the sixth grade?"
Whenever he gets upset, Grover's bladder acts up, so I'm not surprised when, as soon as we get off the bus, he makes me promise to wait for him, then makes a beeline for the restroom. Instead of waiting, I get my suitcase, slip outside, and catch the first taxi uptown.
"East One-hundred-and-forth and First," I tell the driver.
A word about my mother, before you meet her.
Her name is Sally Jackson and she's the best person in the world, which just proves my theory that the best people have the rottenest luck. Her own parents died in a plane crash when she was five, and she was raised by an uncle who didn't care much about her. She wanted to be a novelist, so she spent high school working to save enough money for a college with a good creative-writing program. Then her uncle got cancer, and she had to quit school her senior year to take care of him. After he died, she was left with no money, no family, and no diploma.
The only good break she ever got was meeting mine and (Y/n)'s dad.
We didn't have any memories of him, just this warm sort of glow, maybe the barest trace of his smile. Our mom doesn't like to talk about him because it makes her sad; she has no pictures.
See, they weren't married. She told us he was rich and important, and their relationship was a secret. Then one day, he set sail across the Atlantic on some important journey, and he never came back.
Lost at sea, my mom had told us. Not dead. Lost at sea.
She worked odd jobs, took night classes to get her high school diploma, and raised me and my twin on her own. She never complained or got mad. Not even once. But I knew I wasn't an easy kid.
Finally, she married Gabe Ugliano, who was nice the first thirty seconds we knew him, then showed his true colors as a world-class jerk. When I was young, I nicknamed him Smelly Gabe. I'm sorry, but it's the truth. The guy reeked like moldy garlic pizza wrapped in gym shorts.
Between the two of us, we made my mom's life pretty hard. The way Smelly Gabe treated her, the way he and I got along...well, when I came home is a good example.
I walk into our little apartment, hoping my mom would be home from work. Instead, Smelly Gabe is in the living room, playing poker with his buddies. The television blares ESPN. Chips and beer cans are strewn all over the carpet.
Hardly looking, he says around his cigar, "So, you're home."
"Where's Mom and (Y/n)?" I wonder aloud.
"Your mom's working," he says. "You got any cash?"
That was it. No Welcome back. Good to see you. How has your life been the last six months?
"I don't have any cash," I toll him.
"Here," comes a voice, holding out a ten to the man.
Instantly, a smile sneaks its way onto my face.
"Hey, Perc," my twin sister says with a smile.
(Y/n)'s POV
I grab my brother's suitcase and carry it into his room; I set it down on the bed.
"You wanna come sit in my room?" I ask and Percy nods, a smile still on his face.
I lead the way to my room and when I open the door, Percy sinks into my desk chair.
"Percy?" comes our mom's voice.
She opens my bedroom door.
Our mother can make me feel good just by walking into the room. Her eyes sparkle and change color in the light. Her smile is as warm as a quilt. She's got a few gray streaks mixed in with her long brown hair, but I never think of her as old. When she looks at me, it's like she's seeing all the good things about me, none of the bad. I've never heard her raise her voice or say an unkind word to anyone, not even me or Percy or Gabe.
"Oh, Percy," she hugs her son tightly. "I can't believe it. You've grown since Christmas.
Percy's POV
Her red-white-and-blue Sweet on America uniform smelled like the best things in the world: chocolate, licorice, and all the other stuff she sold at the candy shop in Grand Central. She'd brought me a huge bag of "free samples," the way she always did when I came home.
We sit together on the edge of (Y/n)'s bed. While I attack the blueberry sour strings, (Y/n) stealing a few pieces of candy from the bag, Mom runs her hand through my hair and demands to know everything I hadn't put in my letters. She doesn't mention anything about my getting expelled. She doesn't seem to care about that. But was I okay? Was her little boy doing all right? The whole time, (Y/n)'s eyes were sparkling with amusement.
I tell Mom she is smothering me, and to lay off and all that, but secretly, I was really, really glad to see her and (Y/n).
From the other room, Gabe yells, "Hey, Sally—how about some bean dip, huh?"
I grit my teeth.
My mom is the nicest lady in the world. She should've been married to a millionaire, not to some jerk like Gabe.
For her sake, I try to sound upbeat about my last days at Yancy Academy. I tell her I'm not too down about the expulsion. I'd lasted almost the whole year this time. I'd made some new friends. I'd done pretty well in Latin. And honestly, the fights hadn't been as bad as the headmaster said. I liked Yancy Academy. I really did. I put such a good spin on the year, I almost convince myself. I start choking up, thinking about Grover and Mr. Brunner. Even Nancy Bobofit suddenly doesn't seem so bad.
Until that trip to the museum...
"What?" my mom asks. Her and my sister's eyes tug at my conscience, trying to pull out the secrets. "Did something scare you?"
"No, Mom."
I feel back for lying. I want to tell her about Mrs. Dodds and the three old ladies with the yarn, but I think it'd sound stupid.
Mom purses her lips. Both she and (Y/n) could tell I was holding back, but neither push me.
(Y/n)'s POV
"I have a surprise for both of you," Mom says. "We're going to the beach."
Percy's eyes widen. "Montauk?"
"Three nights - same cabin."
"When?" I ask excitedly.
Mom smiles. "As soon as I get changed."
I can't believe it. Mom, Percy, and I hadn't been to Montauk the last two summers, because Gabe said there wasn't enough money.
Gabe appears in my doorway and growls, "Bean dip, Sally? Didn't you hear me?"
"I've got it," I offer, rising from the bed and walking out into the kitchen to make the dip for Mom.
An hour later, we are ready to leave.
Gabe takes a break from his poker game long enough to watch me and Percy lug Mom's bags to the car. He keeps griping and groaning about losing her cooking - and most importantly, his '78 Camaro - for the whole weekend.
"Not a scratch on this car, you two," he warns us as I load the last bag. "Not one little scratch."
Like we'd be the ones driving. We're twelve. But that didn't matter to Gabe. If a seagull so much as pooped on his paint job, he'd find a way to blame us.
We get into the Camero, me in the passenger's seat, and Percy in the back.
Our rental cabin is on the south shore, way out at the tip of the Long Island. It is a little pastel box with faded curtains, half-sunken into the dunes. There is always sand in the sheets and spiders in the cabinets, and most of the time the sea is too cold to swim in.
Percy and I love the place.
We'd been going there since Percy and I were babies. Our mom had been going even longer. She never exactly said, but I knew why the beach was special to her. It was the place she'd met mine and Percy's dad.
As we get closer to Montauk, Mom seems to grow younger, years of worry and work disappearing from her face. Her eyes turning the color of the sea.
We arrive at the cabin, open all the cabin windows, and go through our usual cleaning routine. We walk on the beach, feed blue corn chips to the seagulls, and much on jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy, and all the other free samples my mom had brought from work.
I guess I should explain the blue food.
See, Gabe had once told Mom there was no such thing. They had this fight, which seemed like a small thing at the time. But ever since, Mom had gone out of her way to eat blue. She baked blue birthday cakes. She mixed blueberry smoothies. She bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop. This - alone with keeping her maiden name, Jackson, rather than calling herself Mrs. Ugliano - was proof that she wasn't totally suckered by Gabe. She did have a rebellious streak, like Percy.
When it gets dark, we make a fire. We roast hot dogs and marshmallows. Mom tells us stories about when she was a kid, back before her parents died in the plane crash. She tells us about the books she wanted to write when she gets enough money to quit the candy shop.
Finally, it seems that Percy gets the nerve to ask about what was always on our minds when we come to Montauk - our father. Mom's eyes go all misty. I figure that she was going to tell us the same things she always said, but neither Percy and I ever got tired of hearing them.
"He was kind, Percy," Mom says. "Tall, handsome, and powerful. But gentle, two. You have his black hair, you know, Percy, and you both have his green eyes."
Mom fishes a blue jelly bean out of her candy bag. "I wish he could see you, Percy, (Y/n). He would be so proud."
Percy's POV
I wondered how she could say that. What's so great about me? A dyslexic, hyperactive boy with a D+ report card, kicked out of the school for the sixth time in six years.
"How old were we?" I ask. "I mean . . . when he left?"
Mom watches the flames. "He was only with me for one summer, Percy. Right here at this beach. This cabin."
"But...he knew us as a baby."
"No, honey. He knew I was expecting twins, but he never saw you two. He had to leave before you were born."
I try to square that with the fact I seem to remember . . . something about my father. A warm glow. A smile.
(Y/n) and I had always assumed that he had known us as babies. Mom had never said it outright, but still, we'd always felt it must be true. Now, to be told that he'd never even seen us . . .
I realize I feel angry at my father. Maybe it was stupid, but I resent him for going on that ocean voyage, for not having the guts to marry Mom. He'd left us, and now we are stuck with Smelly Gable.
"Are you sending me away again?" I ask her. "To another boarding school."
She pulls a marshmallow from the fire.
"I don't know, honey." Mom's voice is heavy. "I think . . . I think we'll have to do something."
"Because you don't want me around?" I regret the words as soon as they come out of my mouth. (Y/n) bows her head, looking at the ground and Mom's eyes well with tears.
Mom takes my hand and squeezes it tight. "Oh, Percy, no. I - I have to, honey. For your own good. I have to send you away."
Her words remind me of what Mr. Brunner had said - that it was best for me to leave Yancy.
"Because I'm not normal," I say.
"You say that as if it's a bad thing, Percy. But you don't realize how important you are. I thought Yancy Academy would be far enough away. I thought you'd finally be safe.
"Safe from what?"
She meets my eyes, and a flood of memories comes back to me - all the weird, scary things that had ever happened to me and (Y/n), some of which we'd tried to forget.
During third grade, a man in a black trench coat had stalked us on the playground. When the teachers threatened to call the police, he went away growling, but no one believed (Y/n) when she'd told them that under his broad-brimmed hat, the man only had one eye, right in the middle of his head.
Before that—a really early memory. I was in preschool, and a teacher accidentally put me down for a nap in a cot that a snake had slithered into. My mom screamed when she came to pick me up and found me playing with a limp, scaly rope I'd somehow managed to strangle to death with my meaty toddler hands.
In every single school, something creepy had happened, something unsafe, and I was forced to move.
I know I should tell my mom about the old ladies at the fruit stand, and Mrs. Dodds at the art museum, about my weird hallucination that I had sliced my math teacher into dust with a sword. But I can't make myself tell her. I have a strange feeling the news would end our trip to Montauk, and I don't want that.
"I've tried to keep you as close to me as I could," my mom says. "They told me that was a mistake. But there's only one other option, Percy—the place your father wanted to send you two. And I just...I just can't stand to do it."
(Y/n)'s POV
"Our father wanted us to go to a special school?" I ask, a little confused.
"Not a school," she says softly. "A summer camp."
My head starts spinning. Why would my dad - who hadn't even stayed around long enough to see me and Percy be born - talk about a summer camp?
"I'm sorry, (Y/n)," she said, seeing the look in my eyes. "But I can't talk about it. I—I couldn't send you two to that place. It might mean saying good-bye to you for good."
"For good?" Percy asks. "But if it's only a summer camp.
Mom turns towards the fire, and I know from her expression that if either of us ask her any more questions, she would start to cry.
I have a weird, vivid dream. It is storming on the beach, and two beautiful animals, a white horse, and a golden eagle are trying to kill each other at the edge of the surf. The eagle swoops down and slashes the horse's muzzle with its huge talons. The horse rears up and kicks at the eagle's wings. As they fight, the ground rumbles and a monstrous voice chuckles somewhere and beneath the earth, goading the animals to fight harder.
I run towards them, knowing I have to stop them from killing each other, but I am running in slow motion. I know I am too late. I see the eagle dive down, its beak aimed at the horse's wide eyes, and I scream, No!
I wake with a start.
Outside, it really is storming, the kind of storm that cracks trees and blows down houses. There is no horse or eagle on the beach, just lightning making false daylight, and twenty-foot waves pounding the dunes like artillery.
With the next thunderclap, my mom and Percy wake. Mom sits up, eyes wide, and says, "Hurricane."
I know that's crazy. Long Island never sees hurricanes this early in the summer. But the ocean seems to have forgotten. Over the roar of the wind, I hear a distant bellow, an angry, tortured sound that makes my hair stand on end.
Percy's POV
Then a much closer noise, like mallets in the sand. A desperate voice - someone yelling, pounding on our cabin door.
My mother springs out of bed in her nightgown and throws open the lock.
Grover stands framed in the doorway against a backdrop of pouring rain. But he isn't . . . he isn't exactly Grover.
"Searching all night," he gasps. "What were you thinking?"
My mother looks at me in terror - not scared of Grover, but of why he'd come.
"Percy," she says, having to shout to be heard over the rain. "What happened at school? What didn't you tell me?"
I am frozen, looking at Grover. I can't understand what I'm seeing, and I see (Y/n) looking at my friend.
"O Zeu kai alloi theoi!" he yells. "It's right behind me! Didn't you tell her?"
I am too shocked to register that he'd just cursed in Ancient Greek, and I'd understood him perfectly. I am too shocked to wonder how Grover had gotten here by himself in the middle of the night. Because Grover doesn't have pants on - and where his legs should be . . . where his legs should be . . .
Mom looks at me sternly and talks in a tone she'd never used before, and (Y/n) flinches: "Percy. Tell me now!"
I stammer something about the old ladies at the fruit stand and Mrs. Dodds, and my mom stares at me, her face deathly pale in the flashes of lightning.
She grabs her purse, tosses me and (Y/n) our rain jackets, and says, "Get the car. All three of you. Go!"
Grover runs for the Camero - but he isn't running, exactly. He is trotting, shaking his shaggy hindquarters, and suddenly his story about a muscular disorder in his legs makes sense to me. I understand how he can run so fast and still limp when he walks.
Because where his feet should be, there are no feet. There are cloven hooves.

A LunaTic and her Gunn (Part 104 1Xs2) "Late Nights and Lazy Days"
@creatureofthen1ght-v3 @crystalbaby12 @5sosfam1dlover @backoftheroomandnotbelonging @findingmyths
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The show at The Roxy was a huge success. The venue filling with electricity as soon as The Boys took the stage. Outside, the sight of Luna had given Colson an extra boost of energy to his mind. Inside, OnStage, her touch was a direct shot of adrenaline to his body. The crowd growing even more insane once Dom and Travis joined him OnStage for an intense encore of I Think I'm Okay.
BackStage, Luna had offered up her repacked bullet to whomever wanted it while hanging off of Colson's back. Collecting their things, they sent their luggage to the LA house after deciding to spend their night in The Valley at Roger's Bowling & Arcade. Luna calling Frannie and Paris while Colson invited Mod and Noah.
-------------------------------------------------
"You're goin' down, Sucker!" Luna wiggles her loose arms and fingers as she grins at Benny and he chuckles.
With so many of them, they have to break off into teams. Luna and Colson call Captain in unison, leading him to complain about how They Won't Be On The Same Team. He only pouts out a Fine when Luna gives him First Pick and a kiss.
Choosing Slim first, Luna takes Paris. Eyeing Luna and knowing how his last interaction went, Colson tries his luck by picking Fran. Making Luna shake her head when she catches her friend rolling her eyes at his effort. Luna takes Rook as a response. Colson snatching up Travis, AJ, Mod, Benny and Bullet while Luna secures her team with Ashleigh, Dom, Baze, Noah and Paris's boyfriend Gabe.
It's way passed midnight. Having been ON since before Noon, Luna's hitting her fifth or sixth peak by now. Just as it starts to kick in for Ashleigh and The Boys. Having only hit the bullet upon arrival with Frannie and Gabe, Paris dutifully sets up their bowling screens as everyone crowds around and the two teams talk shit to each other.
"You don't know what these guns can DO!!" Benny laughs at Luna as he flexes.
"We gonna take her cocky ass down?" Colson nudges Frannie trying to break the ice between them.
Paris had rallied for Colson on the way over, still trying to persuade her to give him a chance. Deciding to bite her tongue tonight for Luna and P, she nods with a small smile. Agreeing with him that, THAT Bitch Could Be Knocked Down A Peg Or Two. It's Colson's laughter that draws Luna's eyes over to the two of them.
"Ugh... With all this bullshit with Sam, I really fucking hope tonight goes well..." Her mind flashes before it catches a trail of colors and is off flying in a different direction.
"Alright.... Here we go!" Paris calls out.
The pure MDMA is now coursing through all of their bodies, minds and souls. The stream of black lights wraps around them, causing them to glow. The bass driven music making their hearts pound as they laugh, trip and bowl.
"It's so great to finally get to hang out with you!!" Luna exclaims as she grabs a seat beside Gabe.
"It truly is!" He agrees with a wide smile.
"Tell me.... What are you guys working on right now. P said you have a mini tour coming up?" Luna asks regarding their band The Soundflowers.
"Yes!!!" Gabe beams as Paris approaches them after picking up a spare.
The three go on to talk about The Couple's music and plans. Colson making his way over as they take turns bowling. Wrapping himself around Luna from behind, he kisses her cheek before joining their conversation. Colson and Gabe clicking quickly as they bond over their love of Sublime and Oasis.
"Your turn, LunaTic!!" Rook hollers.
With her body warm from happiness, content, love and drugs, Luna leans her head back into Colson's chest. Lifting up, she kisses him under his chin before going to support her team.
Grabbing her bearings along with her ball, Luna poises herself as the different colors and objects dance around her. Blinking twice, she swears she can taste cotton candy as she throws a Strike.
"MY GIRL!!!!" Colson yells to her squeals as he spins her around. "I don't even care that you're supposed to be my rival right now!" He laughs as he pulls her chin up for a kiss after he sets her down.
"Come on, Loooove Birds!!" Mod teases them. "You're holding up the game!"
They're really not though. All Sixteen of them are ON, distracted by the black lights and lasers. Slightly Slipping. Bodies still bouncing and bobbing to the music that surrounds them as they chat uncontrollably with each other about EVERYTHING.
Growing bored after the first game, The Slipping Sixteen venture into the Arcade. Simultaneously finding a row of ski ball lanes alongside a line of electronic basketball games. Entering into more challenges against each other, they drop tons of shiny quarters into the game's slots along their way.
Slim, Colson and Benny battle it out in basketball while Luna, Frannie and Ashleigh go head to head in ski ball. Paris and Rook switch out when Luna wins as Baze steps up to challenge Slim along with Gabe after Colson loses to him.
"I got next!!" Colson calls on ski ball.
Luna wins again. Squaring up against her and Frannie, Colson takes his stance in front of the middle lane VERY seriously.
"You two have NO idea what you're in for." He says confidently as he laces his long fingers together and stretches them out in front of him.
Lights, lasers and images dance around them. Flowing in through the windows of their eyes, down into their souls. Binding them together like sticky, magical taffy.
Popping their quarters in, the wooden balls fall down the slot with a loud SMACK. The sound making the three players grin as it brings back goosebumps from their individual childhood memories.
With Rook shouting 1.2.3. GO! They're off. All three being incredibly skilled, it's a close call. Luna coming in 3rd as Frannie takes Colson by two solid 100K point hits. A slightly smug twinkle glints in her cool, blue eyes. It's the only sign of how pleased she is with herself.
Comparing ticket winnings with each other, Luna notices Baze is a little quieter than usual. Part of The Slipping Sixteen going on to wander around the Arcade, giggling and wiggling while they taste the sounds and hear the colors. Finding Travis, AJ, Mod and Bullet, they're consumed by the vivid, original arcade games as the others join them.
"You okay?" Luna asks Baze as she hooks her elbow into his and they continue to wander together.
"Is it that obvious?" He answers with longing eyes.
"Only to me." Luna reassures him as she leans her head against his large arm.
"I miss her, MaGoons..." Baze sighs.
Passing a mirror, Luna stops them. "Let's tell her." She smiles at him before taking a selfie of them and Snapping it to Sam.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sam is at Pier 97 with Ashley, Stephanie, Mack, Jackie, Logan, Jason and a bunch of their other friends. Continuing to celebrate at Pride Island, a 2day music festival created solely for the end of the week long event. Checking her phone in the bathroom, she finds the Snap from Luna.
Tumblr media
Sam sighs when she sees Steve's face as her heart flutters for him. They have a strong connection but Sam is incredibly independent... And if she'll admit it, incredibly scared of intimacy. Reading Luna's words, she's annoyed with her but can't help Snapping her back with love along with her trademark sass.
---------------------------------------------------
"Yo!! You game?" Slim challenges Luna when he sees the beaming lights of an open AirHockey table.
"Bet, Motherfucker." Luna laughs as she digs in her bag for more quarters.
Slim drops the plastic disc on the table as it begins to roar and cool air blows from it's sides. With a nod, they signal their beginning. It's an intense, fierce game. Both talking shit as they slam the disc across the board with all their might.
"You ain't got SHIIT!" Slim tries to intimidate her as they match up at 2to2.
Pulling the puck from her slot, Luna holds it in place as she points at Slim. "Watch me, take your whole life and FUUUUUCK it all up in one shot." She grins as she rearranges and recites Colson's lyrics.
"You're such a fucking dork." Slim laughs at her.
The two of them are quick as they make the plastic object zoom across the flat surface. Luna's wide eyes steadily following it as it turns from one disc into four. Glowing orange trails fly around behind it, causing her to become distracted by it's zip as Slim connects just right. Slamming it into her goal, he wins the game.
🎶Who fucked who's life all up in one shot? I DID! Beat THAT bitch when I made THAT disc drop in her slot and YOU KNOW that I'm so good that I can't stop.... Because SOMETHING'S FUCKING WRONG WITH ME!!"🎶
Slim raps as he teases Luna, laughing as he dances around the table. Quickly grabbing her to happily jump and shake her around with him. They're slowly becoming friends.
"FUUUUUCK Yooou!" Luna laughs with him as she rolls her eyes before giving him playful shove.
"You gonna let THESE BOOYS play us like that, B?" Frannie asks with a grin, throwing her arm around Luna. "I got next, Big Man." She taunts Slim with a welcoming smile.
Frannie is naturally suspicious of all people, growing up in the environment she did. It's when her third eye is open that she let's her guard down, fully enjoying herself as she kicks Slim's ass 3to1. Lightly teasing him along the way.
"You got an eye, Girl, don't cha?" Slim compliments her after her win, making Frannie laugh.
Coming back together, The Slipping Sixteen decide to bowl another game. Keeping the same teams as they continue to be entertained by each other and mesmerized by the different colors. Noah and Mod argue over Who's Ball Is Who's while Colson and Slim both High Ten Frannie when she hits a strike on her first bowl. Ashleigh flicking them both off when she nails her own solid strike.
Only picking up a spare, Luna checks her phone as she sits on Colson's lap. Finding a Snap back from Sam, she opens it.
Tumblr media
Seeing the Snap over her shoulder, Colson realizes for the first time that Sam didn't come back with Luna. He's called for his turn before he can ask Why.
Having a blast, they finish up their game. It's a close one, Luna's team only winning again because of Rook's impeccable Turkey.
Gathering together, Paris and Gabe exchange GoodByes and Love before catching an Uber home. Frannie uncharacteristically choosing to head back to Colson's with Luna along with Noah and Mod. Dom catching another Uber with Travis to his place, choosing to crash there while Ashley's still in NYC.
--------------------------------------------------
Back at the crib, they let loose with all of them being happy to be Home. Making their way through the house, only Twelve Tripping Twits remain. Pumping up some old Blink 182, Colson immediately starts jumping up and down on the couch before hopping off to grab whatever he can find to juggle. Being pool balls this time.
Luna watches him adoringly. She can feel her brain and heart throb for him as her body continues to tingle during it's own personal rollercoaster ride. "Fuck, I missed him." She thinks. Regardless of the stress from the loss of his Adderall, traveling or even Sam's issues, Luna's glad to be Home. Colson being her Home. Not The West Coast. Not even NYC. Her Home lies where Colson is. Always.
Hooking up Casie's Dance Dance Revolution, at different points they all succeed in both excelling and destroying their attempted dances. The Twelve Tripping Twits laughing uncontrollably at each other throughout their turns as they pass joints amongst them.
They continue on with their magical journey. Gliding in and out of the house, talking about and touching everything. Different Twits alternate in and out of different jam session at different times.
Colson, Luna, Rook, Frannie, Noah, Slim and Mod take to chasing each other around the house, wrestling about and hitting each other with pillows unexpectedly as they round corners blindly. Ashleigh, Benny, AJ and Baze are curled up in fuzzy blankets while Mario Kart escapes from the television. Bullet can be found outside lounging by the pool, staring at the stars.
There's a lot happening at all times. The Twelve Tripping Twits making a huge mess out of the house with their amusing antics.
"Lemme set you up...." Luna says to a still wild eyed Frannie.
"I can't sleep right now, Loons.... I'm on some seeing and feeling shit." Frannie let's out with an exasperated gasp.
"That's okay... I just wanna show you that you've got a safe space when you're ready to crash." Luna answers lightly as she takes Frannie's hand.
Already talking to Colson, Luna shows Frannie to Casie's room. It's a special privilege. Frannie may not be aware of it, but Luna is. NO ONE sleeps in Casie's room.
"This is The Kid's room. You can sleep here without being bothered..." Luna trails off as her swirling mind struggles to formulate words again in order for her to speak. "But... If you're not ready to sleep, you gotta stay the fuck outta here." She asserts by closing the door to Frannie's all too knowing nod.
"There's our killer!" Slim shouts as he comes out of his room, finding Luna and Francis in the hallway.
Wrapping his arm around Frannie's shoulders, he asks What They Were Doin'. Fran answers with a NunYa to Slim's laughter as they follow him back downstairs into the ongoing House Party.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Rolling hard, the music is still loud as Luna offers up Xanax for calmness and sleep. BB King easily grooving through the living room as The Twelve Tripping Twits begin to slow down. Lounging around while burning HARD. The blues guitar slipping, ripping and vibrating through their enlightened souls.
Exploring each other's bodies slowly on the floor behind to the couch, Luna coaxes Colson to his room. Not bothering to say GoodNight as they slip away. Thinking they're quiet, they loudly laugh as they fail at racing each other on the stairs. Tripping in different ways as they make their way up them.
-------------------------------------------------
In his bed, there's a sweet sensuality to Colson and Luna. Trying to focus, they slowly take each other's clothes off as they kiss the other with soft touches. Uncontrollable colors, feelings and love radiating off of them. Luna's breasts are full as she runs her hands down the sides of her throat, then along her shoulders. Pulling down the straps of her black, lace bra. She unhooks it, letting it fall off of her body as she drags her hands down alongside her ribcage. Still rolling hard, even the lightest touch to her body is amplified by a million.
"I don't know if I can handle fucking you tonight." Colson let's out with a slight hint of fear in his voice.
"Mmmm... That's okay... Can we just lay and touch?" Luna asks delicately with an understanding of the intensity that drugs can bring.
"Yes, please...." Colson answers, wrapping his naked, long body alongside Luna's tiny one as they lay together side by side.
Getting comfortable, he can't help but cup her breast. It's not long before his coarse thumb finds it's way to her pierced nipple. The rounding strokes of his hard thumb making her body heat up as her pussy becomes plump for him.
Their touches are kind and sensual as Colson pulls Luna closer to him from behind. With his right arm under her, distracting her nipple, his left hand slides over her hip. She can feel his growing cock against her as his fingers slowly reach for his goal. Running his two tips up her vulnerable lips, he grows harder as he feels how warm her insides are.
"I wanna live inside her pussy." Colson's drug addled mind wishing for the impossible
Pulling her lips open with his index and middle fingers, Colson slowly makes his way inside of her from behind. His touch causing Luna to arch her back as her whole body tingles. Taking his time as he slowly slips his dick into of her, making her quiver at not only his girth but also his touch.
"Holy fuck...." Luna's body erupts as her brain slowly repeats "Holy Fuck....." Over and over again. The sensation of Colson being inside of her so insanely strong that she feels like they're melting into each other.
Taking his time, he rocks her back and forth along his cock slowly. Colson grunts louder with every inch of him that she pulls further inside of herself.
"Oh, Kitten..." He moans as he sucks on the back of her neck.
"Mmmm....." She coos, enjoying the way he fills her.
Colson holds Luna closer to him, making her juicy pussy clutch his cock tighter. Picking up his pace as he drives into her deeper. Still playing with her piercing with one thumb, he reaches down. Using his middle finger of his other hand to tickle her clitoris, Colson has full control over Luna's body.
"Oh FUUUUUCK, I'm cumming." She moans, not being able to control herself as her body gyrates.
Feeling her tighten around him even more, he let's go also. Bursting inside of her like an overfilled balloon.
"God Damn, Loons.... I swear, your pussy gets better every FUCKING time." Colson pants as she kisses her naked shoulder with a sigh.
Luna let's out a light snicker from his words, causing him to pop out of her to both of their disappointment. Placing his tired dick against her bare ass, they drift off wrapped in each other.
Sticky from their sex as the Xanax begins slowing down their running minds. Their touch calming more than just each other's soul as they end another late night together.
--------------------------------------------------
Feeling Colson shift, Luna rolls over with him, turning him into The Little Spoon. Nuzzling in between his shoulder blades, she kisses his bare, tattooed skin as she whispers out an I Missed You. Squeezing his body tighter against hers. Lifting her hand, he kisses it as he mummers the same. The two easily and instantly falling back to sleep together.
A few hours later, Colson stretches out long as Luna curls up against him under the covers. It's a Monday, the first of July. Just coming off a month long tour, they're taking the day off. A lazy day if you will. Already deciding last week that business will resume it's regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.
Wrapped in each other, their too hungover to talk. Both of their brains feeling like mush from the massive amounts of drugs they not only consumed the day/night before, but throughout the last 2mnths or so. Although their insides feel like dehydrated fruit, there's an intimate relief as they simply cuddle. Enjoying the quiet moment to themselves, they drift back off. Catching up on some much needed sleep.
--------------------------------------------------
Colson and Luna finally make their way downstairs after lazily fucking each other awake. He's bare chested in a pair of EST basketball shorts while she's in an oversized Hotel Diablo shirt with a pair of Colson's black boxer briefs underneath and a loose bun.
They find Frannie, Slim and Ashleigh surrounding the island as Baze controls the kitchen. Joints flowing freely while Neil Young plays lowly in the background. Noah and Mod are knocked out in the living room on separate couches with Bullet sprawled out across the floor. The sight of him making Luna happy. While Rook, AJ and Benny can be found still snoozing in their bedrooms.
"Holy shit, that smells delicious." Luna compliments Baze as she peeks around his arm. "What 'cha makin'?" She asks as she accepts a cup of coffee from Colson with a grateful Thanks.
"Homemade bacon cheese burgers, REAL fries and grilled asparagus along with spinach and mozzarella stuffed garlic mushrooms." Baze answers proudly as he checks the oven.
"You truly are a Norseman's God, aren't you?" Luna teases as she slides into a chair between Colson and Frannie, accepting a joint from her pal.
"Viking in the HOOOUSE!!" Baze shouts as he triumphantly thrusts his fist in the air, making the room laugh with him and Luna.
"How'd you sleep?" Luna asks as she turns to Fran after passing the joint to Colson.
"Fucking GREAT!! That bed is a dream. Literally." She laughs. "Thank you for letting me crash in your daughter's room." Fran goes on to speak to Colson as she leans up against the counter to look at him.
"No problem, I'm glad you were comfortable.... Just don't let her know her when you meet her. She can be a little anal about her room and things." Colson says with a smile as he exhales a large cloud of smoke.
"Wonder where she gets THAT from.." Ashleigh chimes in as she rolls her eyes.
"Not THIS guy, EVER." Slim laughs as he jerks his thumb towards Colson.
"Fuck you both, you don't like people touching your shit either." Colson counters as he throws them both a middle finger.
"Facts." Luna laughs as she backs up his statement.
"You're just as bad!!" Frannie exclaims to Luna with another laugh.
"Who's just as bad and what are we eating, My People?" Mod asks happily as he comes bouncing into the kitchen just in time to intercept the joint.
"All of 'em, apparently." Frannie answers through her laughter.
"Hey!! Don't you lump me in with them fools!" Baze threatens with a smile as he points his spatula at Fran.
"My bad, Dude." She continues to laugh with a grin.
"You fuckers are soooo LOUD...." Rook complains as he makes his own appearance.
"IF YA CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT, GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE KITCHEN, YA FUCKING ROOKIE!!" Colson yells at him with a teasing tone.
This catches him a middle finger from Rook and a solid NO from Luna as she puts her hands over her ears. Colson retaliating with another loud I DO WHAT I WANT before Luna skips him and passes a fresh joint to her Favorite Drummer Boy.
"You're such a bitch." Colson complains with a chuckle once he realizes what happened.
Noah, AJ, Bullet and Benny slowly trickle in as Baze throws the burgers on the grill. Making The Twelve of Them a complete set again as they fill the kitchen with bodies, music, smoke and coming food. All surprisingly functional once coffee and bud hits their blood streams as they recount the madness of last night.
"You totally stole that kid's tickets!!" Noah shouts at Colson.
"No I didn't." He shoots back immediately with an undeniably guilty look.
"You stole a kid's tickets!?!" Luna and Frannie ask together in wide eyed shock.
"No." Colson asserts. "He walked away, I just grabbed the loose tickets that were hangin'." He shrugs with a smirk.
"Seriously?" Luna asks with a cocked look.
"I mean, yeah... But, I gave all our tickets away to a bunch of kids at the end of the night so fuck 'em." Colson shrugs again as he sips his coffee.
"You're such a fucking dick." Luna replies with her face still twisted in disbelief.
"Whatever. Someone else would've jacked 'em if I didn't. And at least I spread the wealth... Because I REALLY wanted those fucking light sabers." He laughs.
Slim, Baze, AJ, Benny and Rook solidify him with a RIGHT. Leaving Luna to lean across the counter now, looking over at Ashleigh for someone else besides Frannie to shake her head with.
"So, what, you fancy yourself as the Robin Hood of Arcades?" Fran challenges Colson. "Robbing from the dumb who are probably in the same poor crowd that you're rewarding?"
"Ohh, FUCK ME." Luna mentally sighs as Colson cocks his chin towards Frannie.
"No." He answers with an attitude. "But if you're stupid enough to leave your money hangin', I don't give a fuck what age you are. Imma snatch that shit up. Don't be dumb and you won't get played like you're dumb."
"Truth." Slim agrees, tossing his bestfriend an elbow while Luna's tosses her an unamused eye.
"I get what you're saying, Kells... But that's fucked up. You can't tell me you wouldn't snap if someone swooped up on Case's tickets." Ashleigh says, putting her two sense in.
"Case wouldn't be dumb enough to leave her tickets behind." Colson replies smugly.
"I had you until then...." Luna laughs lightly as she leans across the counter again to Ashleigh's sigh, both knowing he's right.
"So, what's that make you... A partial dick?" Fran asks not letting it go.
"Oh no, I'm that FULL dick. Through and through. Ask Luna." He smirks.
"Shut the fuck up." Luna replies as she sucks her teeth. Going on to roll her eyes at him and shake her head, she displays the three quality signs of an annoyed woman. "No one here gives a fuck about your dick." She continues as she SideEyes him.
"Yo! Check my mushrooms!" Baze interupts them as he hollers from the patio.
"Gotcha!" Ashleigh shouts back as she hops up.
"All I know is, I'm gonna FUUUUUCK this food UUUPPP." Luna declares, making the entire room agree for the first time.
--------------------------------------------------
Crowded around the dining room table, they all compliment Baze's cooking skills as it's sweet scent fills the room. After passing plates of food and condiments around they all dig in. There's a collective sigh of Oh SHIT when they sink their teeth into their burgers.
"Holy fucking cracker balls." Luna moans as she bites into the homemade potato wedge. "PLEASE fucking teach Colson!" She requests with her eyes closed in pleasure.
"Hey... I know how to cook." Colson states as he shoots her another SideEye.
"No Bunny, you know how to grill. Not cook. We both know this. I love you, but there's a difference." Luna sighs in delight as she takes a snapping bite off of her asparagus.
"Facts." Colson admits. "To Truck, our Viking cook!" He says as he raises his beer. "Great food, better friends and MOTHERFUCKING HOTEL DIABLO!!" He shouts as everyone clinks their glasses and beers with his.
Enjoying their meal, each other's company and being off of The Road, The Twelve of Them relax around the table as they shoot the shit. Bodies slowly recovering as the delicious food regenerates their beings. As always, continuing to bust each other's balls as they laugh with full bellies over a round of drinks and joints.
Once they've finished, The Girls begin to wipe down the kitchen and do dishes as The Boys clean and clear the table while carrying things in from the dining room. They wrap up leftovers before helping with the rest of the clean up. Baze being the only one who's exempt. It's been said before, if you cook in Colson's kitchens, you do not clean.
Coming up behind Luna as they finish, Colson lightly touches his lips against the back of her ear lobe. Sending instant goosebumps down her spine as his deep voice crawls into her brain.
"I wanna show you something when we're done." He husks.
"Okay." Luna agrees without hesitation.
