Danny, Wesker, and Deathslinger with a survivor boyfriend who gets blushy and flustered at the slightest physical contact? Literally the "hand-holding is so lewd" memes but condensed into a person. Wouldn't mind a bit of 18+ content sprinkled in, too, if you get the inspiration for it.

So I’ve done something very similar to this with the Deathslinger, so for the sake of not reusing old works, I’m not going to be using him for this. I love Deathslinger, so I apologize!!

Amab! Reader. Warnings: Some suggestiveness, talk of handjobs/sex.

• Danny honestly thinks it’s a bit funny. The slightest bit of contact and you’re a blushing, flustered mess—melting under his touch. He wasn’t one for PDA until you came along, now there’s constantly an arm around your waist, hand holding yours, anything Danny can do to have his hands on you.

• While Danny finds your reactions to his touch absolutely adorable, he won’t deny that it turns him on. If this is how you react to a hand around your waist… Danny could only imagine how you’d feel about his hand in your pants. The second he gets you alone, be expecting a complete shift in his personality. Wherever he can get you, whether that be pinned against a wall or on the bed, Danny’s hands are going to be all over you. He’ll whisper the dirtiest things in your ear, watching and relishing as you squirm under him, moaning and panting under his touch.

• Now, with all of this said, expect Danny to make fun of you. Not in a way that’s ill-intended, but simply in his very-own, special Danny way. He loves you, something completely new to him, and poking fun at you is how he shows it. He’ll say things like ‘You act so tough, but we both know the second I touch you you’ll melt.’ Or, specifically when he first noticed your reactions, ‘Blushing and stuttering all because I’m holding your hand?’ Followed by a laugh, as well as a shine in Danny’s eyes that hardly prepares you for what he does the second you’re alone.

You were alone at the survivors’ campfire, resting after a long ‘day’ of trials. The silence was comforting, well-needed after all you’d experienced today. You had almost dozed off, when suddenly a pair of arms wrap around you from behind. You immediately recognize the black leather gloves and long sleeves as Danny’s, your cheeks flushing red as his hands gently squeeze your sides. “Hello, handsome.” Danny says, pulling his mask to the side just enough to expose his lips before leaning down and pressing a kiss to the top of your head. You stutter out a hello, which only makes Danny chuckle and wrap his arms around you tighter, pulling you back against his chest.

“I love how you react to my touch. All of this… just for me.” While others would consider his comment a tad possessive, but his words were only adding fuel to the fire growing inside of you. His hands trail down your side, now hovering over your clothed member, which twitched and strained against your pants as Danny spoke up. “You know exactly what you do to me don’t you, y/n?”

• Oh, you best believe Wesker is using this to his advantage. While he might not express just how much he likes your flustered reaction to even the slightest touch, you can tell it drives him wild. Like Danny, once he realizes, he will have his hands on you whenever he can.

• Now, unlike you, Wesker has little to no physical reaction to touch. It’s as if nothing even happened, really. Inside his head, however, Wesker is ready to take you right then, right there. His touch is how he shows he owns you, so if you were to take his hand in yours? Be prepared for Wesker to fuck you senseless, no matter where you are.

• Wesker won’t necessarily make fun of you, he doesn’t have the time for that, but he will comment on your flustered state. If you’re into it, Wesker will degrade you, especially during sex. If not, he will shower you in praises. Seriously, Wesker just likes seeing you blush and squirm under his touch! It fills him with an indescribable sense of power and dominance; which is something Wesker… probably has enough of already, but hey, it just means he’ll fuck you all the better. 😉

It was another trial, but at least this time you were with Wesker. Roaming through the halls of RPD, you heard your heartbeat pick up and knew he was around. You were waiting in his office, your eyes lighting up when you finally spot him. Stained with the blood of your teammates, Wesker makes his way to you and pulls you into a very unexpected hug. His hold was possessive, tight… enough to have your face heating up and your body practically under him. He leans down until his lips were even with your ear, breath tickling your skin as he whispers.

“I missed you, my pet. I missed watching you blush and stutter under my touch... didn't you?" Wesker hums, the shaky sigh that escapes your lips telling him all he nees to know. His hands slide down to your ass, pressing your hips against his. You gasp, blood rushing to your member as Wesker presses a kiss to your neck. "I knew you did."

---

So sorry for the disappearance! I know I make a lot of excuses, but I promise I mean them all. I work at a barn that puts on camps for children throughout the months of June-July, so I'm very busy during those times. I have one final camp next week, so hopefully after that my works will pick back up again.

Words can't really describe how disappointed and equally angry and disgusted I am by this collab. Not only did this collab come out of nowhere and literally NO ONE asked for it to happen but it's just a glaring reminder that Mattel is now viewing G1 Monster High through a cash cow lense and is milking money out of exclusively G1 fans because they know the G1 generation are all grown up and have adult money to spend so why not churn out G1 dolls with a bigger price tag more each time? and so they give us this mediocre soulless collab that does not capture the spirit of Monster High in anyway. Meanwhile the MH fans that were willing to shell out $5 dollars for the oh so special Fang Club that was supposed to have exclusive dolls and was good for the whole year? well the year is almost over and we only got ONE doll just one and the year is almost over nevermind that the membership didn't help anyone get ahead on other Mattel Creations MH drops despite them promising members get first access to things not yet made available to the public.

Now onto the collaboration dolls themselves this collab features four brand new characters which I think could have been executed so much better and this was not the line to launch them in. For one the dolls to me all look like some odd variation of Frankie at first glance because of them all having the same green skin tone but then when you look at them closely they all look like reused molds of Lagoona, Frankie, Rochelle, and Bloodgood but now they're green. I think if these are a new set of ghoulebrities going to be implemented in MH they should have introduced them in G3 but I'm pretty sure these are just throw away characters made for the collab which begs the question why didn't they use already established characters with an interest in fashion?! I don't think a brand like MH should be making cash grab collabs with fashion brands but if they did I think they should have chosen different characters that represent the MH brand.

This fashion collab NEEDED Clawdeen Wolf considering she is the aspiring fashion designer ffs this would have meant everything to her character to represent MH and if they had to have a "new" show stopping character to hype this collab this was their chance to debut a Moanatella Ghostier doll aka the unrivaled fashion designer of Scaris and for the other two dolls I would probably pick Garrot du Roque (yes a boy doll) and Rochelle Goyle. I'm mostly just so so angry because this collab just spells doom to me for the future of G1 MH's dolls or content because it's clear Mattel only cares about money and milking fans with nostalgia bait and half assed projects with the Monster High label slapped on them and not about making creations under the MH name that are actually made with passion and that fans will love.

Tired 😴

Moonknight Masterlist

Summary: you and your Moonknight get a night off from your baby, it Leads to some syrupy sweet adult fun times.

A/N: sexy times for grownups under the cut. 18+ ONLY! This is my first hella explicit fic, be kind. Y’all have been diggin DD lately, and I got another really good one coming, but I couldn’t finish it till I got this one done. This is inspired by Taylor Swift and the Midnights album because soft sleepy sex is the vibe of this album. Also, I love Moonknight😍🖤✨ still in the Estrellita verse.

Warnings: AFAB reader, Oral (F receiving), fingering (f receiving), unprotected sex (m+f, wrap it before you tap it, but I’m not your mom so you know.), unrealistic portrayal of DID as made cannon by the show. If I missed something lmk and I’ll add it.

You and the boys were tired to say the least. Baby girl Rory was not exactly the calmest child, and knowing her parents, you shouldn’t be shocked. Your days were spent in bliss chasing around a little girl who seemed to have boundless energy. She was just about two now, you were thinking about having another, and we’re honestly actively trying. You couldn’t imagine another little one just yet, but you knew that another addition to your family would be sweet. The boys loved having a mini you running around, and you love how wonderful they were at being a father to your child. Your parents thought you were due for another as well, and they believed the same for your sister and her husband. Rory and Cassie needed someone to grow up with, a sister or brother. So, you get a break this evening, your parents strange and pushy way of telling you that you should probably work on having another kid while you have the chance. Your parents were taking the two grandkids to the zoo, and having a sleepover. So, taking advantage of your luck this particular evening, the adults went out for a double date. You got dinner at some Indian food place that Steven had heard about from Matt Murdock, and it was delicious. It was nice to have adult conversation that didn’t have the constant intervention of tiny children. Then, Andreas had scored some tickets to a Latin music dance night at some club that specialized in vintage big band stuff. It was so fun, you danced the night away with all three of your boys, each one making an appearance to steal you for a dance, but when you got home, it was still Jake fronting, and you were both exhausted.

You kicked off your shoes and ditched your bra and dress, pulling on one of Marc’s shirts, while they shed theirs. Then, you flopped onto the bed with a sigh and Jake was quick to follow. “Cariño, muévete. Estoy cansado y tus muslos son una almohada perfecta.” You huffed a laugh and stretched out your legs. Jake nuzzled in with a smile and a bite to your inner thigh making you giggle.

“Hey down there, I’m trying to enjoy the silence.” You laugh a bit as he nuzzled his face into your stomach, biting you again before he puffs a sigh of his own.

“Okay, Lo siento. I’ll behave.” He relents, wrapping his arms around your middle with a contented rumble, as your fingers wrap themselves in his hair. You were enjoying the quiet, conversing back and forth softly as you continued to play with his hair while he and the others drew patterns on your stomach. They easily switched back and forth in conversation, all sort of fronting at once with an easy cadence that didn’t require much work.

“What should she be for Halloween? I’m guessing we can’t get away with a pumpkin again this year.” You sighed.

“Oh man, I mean, what did we do for Purim? We can reuse a costume?” Marc shrugged.

“No way Marc! That’s sacrilege! We gotta do a family costume.” You laughed as he shuttered.

“No way, I won’t be caught dead.” Marc grumbled. You felt his muscles loosen slightly and with a grumble Steven spoke up.

“I will though! You don’t gotta front for the holiday if you’re gonna be a grumpy gills.” He huffed.

“Ooh! Steven! There’s an idea love! What about Nemo?” You squealed. “I can be Dory you can be Marlin and she can be Nemo!”

“Joder, no. I won’t be un pez.” Jake groaned.

“Party pooper.” You pouted, tugging slightly at his hair. He growls and bites you again and you loosen your grip with a yelp. Maybe we do Bluey?”

“Ha! And she’s Bluey? No way, our daughter is a muffin and you know it.” Marc laughed and you gasped dramatically.

“Marcus Angelica Spector. Never again will you speak such blasphemy in my home.” You said smacking him on the shoulder as he buried his head in your stomach with a chuckle.

“Ooh! ¿Qué pasa con la familia Addams?” Jake gasped, looking up at you with a mischievous smile. “How about it Cara Mia?” He wiggled his eyebrows, and you snorted.

“Yeah, yeah. You just wanna see me in a dress cut down to Venezuela.” You cackled. “Not a chance in hell hotshot!”

“We should do the Princess Bride! She can be an ROUS!” Steven grinned and you laughed again.

“My daughter is not dressing up as a rat!” You were near tears with all this teasing, you always laughed more when you were tired. The boys thought it was adorable.

“We could do shitty superhero costumes! Like the Punisher or Dare Devil?” Jake muttered.

“We wear shitty superhero costumes every day. Give it a rest, guy.” You snort.

“Speak for yourself! Our costume is sexy as fuck cariño.” Jake laughs and you roll your eyes, smacking him over the head. He gave an exaggerated ‘ow!’ And pecked a kiss on your thigh.

“Oh! Wait! What about uhh… JURASSIC PARK!” Marc exclaimed.

“Wait! That’s actually brilliant!” Steven laughed.

“We’re gonna be the couple and she’s gonna be Un dinosaurio? That’s kinda cute.” Jake chuckled.

“I’m ordering a costume now. It’s settled.” You grinned, Amazon pulled up on your browser.

“Is your sister dressing up?” Marc questioned, pulling your leg up over his shoulder so he could cuddle closer to your saccharine sweet body heat.

“Oh of course,” you scoffed, “They’re doing Toy Story. They’re gonna be Jessie, Buzz, and the Forky thing. Cassie is obsessed.” You snorted.

Then you began to settle in a soft silence, you were blearily scrolling your phone, eyelids beginning to droop, yawns so forceful tears were dripping off the end of your nose and you swiped them away and began to bite at your fingertips. You were falling asleep. They couldn’t let you do that when you looked this good, this… delicious. He began to press his nose up your thigh, while you kept trying to pick a good Dino costume that would fit your baby while fighting off sleep. Jake looked up to see if you’d caught on to their hints yet, but you were so adorably tired, you hadn’t noticed.

Steven started softly placing kisses on your inner thigh, and you were still distracted by your phone, heedless of the inner battle the boys were fighting.

‘Listen, only one of us needs to be doing this, we get distracted when we all try to front during sex.’ Marc muttered.

‘True, but you got to last night,’ Steven grumbled.

‘You’re one to talk, you got to this morning!’ Marc grumbled. What they both hadn’t realized, was Jake had already taken charge of the situation.

“Ahí está mi chica favorita.” He had worked his hand up your thigh and pulled your panties aside, sliding two fingers gently through your glistening folds. You jerked away from your phone to look down at your husband, biting your lip. “Esta chica me ha dado todas mis cosas favoritas en esta vida, debería apreciarla, ¿no debería amar?” He cast his hooded gaze up at you, and placed a heated kiss to your thigh.

“Mmmhmm, yes Papi.” You moaned softly, suddenly dropping your phone to your side table when he started to slowly circle his fingers around your sensitive clit . His heady stare had moved to your glistening center, and you whimpered out a moan.

“Don’t worry Mammi, I got you. You just relax, you seemed so tired, wanted to send you off to sleep the right way.” Jake muttered, continuing to stroke at your bundle of nerves while you squirmed and clawed at his hair. Jake could vaguely feel the other two watching him work from the head space and he smirked, better show em how it’s done.

He started by lazily licking a long stripe up your slit, nose brushing faintly at your clit, hand resting right above your pussy, thumb nudging when his nose wasn’t as he teased at your spasming hole with his tongue. He reveled in your sleepy moans, taking his time to pull you apart on his mouth. He started circling your little bud in earnest with his tongue, free hand moving to nudge his fingers into your hole. You were positively dripping, and when he slipped his fingers finally sheathed themselves in your warm wet cunt you tugged his hair, and he groaned. His sound moving so deliciously throughout your sex making you see stars. His slow lazy buildup really was doing it for you. He was so comfortably tucked between your thighs, his 5o’clock shadow rubbing you just the right way. The sleepy haze of your loving conversation burned away to such divine passion, you wondered why you even went out tonight when you could have been doing this the whole time.

Jake looked up and saw just how beautiful you looked as you were beginning to unravel, the way you bit your lip, eyes scrunched closed in delicious bliss. He revered the mixed scent of you in his bed. The way your skin faintly smelled of him from the way you pressed against him all evening, rolling those hips as you danced. The sight of you in their clothes drove them all wild, but your messy hair and smuged lipstick from an evening of soft affection truly blew his mind. You’re so pretty like this, he wants to see you cum. He started fucking you with his finger in earnest, rolling his tongue in just the right way until you-

“Oh shit, Jake!” You gasped and the band that had been slowly tightening in your belly snapped. Jake’s eyes rolled into the back of his head as he eagerly took everything you were giving, lapping at you up until you pulled him off with a lewd pop.

“Mmm, you’re always so sweet mi Vida.” He hummed pressing into you for a devastating, toe curling, kiss that had you worked up all over again. “Think you can handle a little more?” You nodded with a moan, feeling the heat of his gaze leaching into you tired bones with a revitalizing warmth that tingled up your spine and blushed your cheeks. “Ugh, you’re so soft tonight.”

Jake sighed as you sunk your face into the warmth of his neck, raising your hips to let him pull your soaked panties from you. You whimpered a moan as he ran his hands up your sides, shoving your shirt up as he went, forcing your face from its hiding place. Your foreheads rested together as he pulled his own pants from his hips and flung your offending clothing across the room, as if any extra fabric in this moment was an insult, and when he made you feel this good without it? Maybe it was. He cradled your head as he lay you on the pillows, admiring your hair haloing around you, crowning you the goddess he held you in his gaze to be. His hands caressed your curves, your hips, your waist, those breasts that fit so perfectly in his hands. He sucked one into his mouth as you carded one hand through his hair and scratched another down his back. He was painfully aroused at this point. It was a mercy he wasn’t going to hold out long, because with the pillowy softness of your body laid out before him in this hazy twilight? He was just as likely to fall asleep on you as he was to fuck you, and he desperately wanted to fuck you. Your legs spread invitingly and he rolled his member through your folds a couple times, slicking himself with your essence. He could feel how wet and ready you were for him, the inviting heat of your sex a siren song to the home he’d made in your body, in your heart.

“Dios mio, cariño. I could live in this cunt for all time and still never want to leave.” He growled, sinking himself to the hilt and setting a steady pace. You wrap your arms around him with a gasp, and sink your teeth into his shoulder as he continues to sink into you at a steady pace. He groans again and picks up his pace. You were both coming to your peaks very quickly, and this slow lazy sex was really, really doing it for you. The intimacy and the love in every movement of Jake’s body only making you hotter, winding you up to a crest that you couldn’t wait to fall over. You hear him mumble that he’s close and you moan your assent. When he presses his thumb to your clit and softly kisses your forehead, you fall off the ledge and you can feel his hips stutter as he follows you to his finish. He continues to roll his hips, working you both through your stellar highs.

“Damn,” he pants, pulling out of you and rolling you over to lay on his chest. “That was…” you huff a laugh and snuggle into his chest, leaving a kiss on his collar bone.

“We should have lazy sex more often, that was great.” You chuckle.

Jake rolls out of bed as you doze, you hear the sink and a few moments later, you gasp as he cleans you up. You make your way to the bathroom, and Jake throws the washcloth to the basket in the corner of the room, excusing himself to the balcony for a smoke. He’s quitting the habit, but sometimes he needed the nicotine to fully unwind. He finishes up the smoke, and looks for you in bed. You’re laid out on your stomach, your naked back washed in moonlight, hair fanned across your pillow as you huffed out soft breaths. You were always so beautiful bathed in moonlight, he should appreciate the sight more often.

He finally crawls back into bed, stoping to place a kiss between your shoulder blades before he lays down, he settles your warm, pliant, body on his chest. He rubbed one of his hands up and down your back, and tangled the other in your hair. He kissed your arms where they were twined around his neck. He felt so at home, the only thing that would make this picture perfect would be the sound of his daughter breathing over the baby monitor. Tonight though? He relished the silence in which he could study the sound of your breath, the flutter of your eyebrows over your cheeks as you dozed so comfortably in his arms. He was so lucky to have you. They all were.

One month later you were dressed up as the main characters of Jurassic park, trick or treating in your parents cul-de-sac while your daughter ran door to door with her cousin collecting sugary sweets. You stood with your sister and your husbands laughing at their eagerness. You fell into easy conversation and eventually you and your sister tried to say something at once.

“I gotta-“

“Theres some-“

You both laugh and offer for the other to go first, then you decided to take the initiative wrapping an arm around your husband.

“Well, remember that double date last month?” You started, and she nodded with a grin and Andreas chuckled, saying something about it being the most adult time he’s had in months. “Right, well… I’m pregnant!” Your sister gasped, and you were worried at first that she was upset. Then, her eyes started to water and she squealed.

“I’m pregnant too!” You squealed as well and threw your arms around your sister, while Andreas and Jake congratulated each other with a grin.

“Congrats hermano! You’re a lucky man!” Andreas laughed with glee, pulling Jake into a hug and patting his back.

“Seems like congratulations are in order for the both of us amigo! You’re gonna be a dad again!” Jake laughed a good natured laugh and clapped Andreas on the shoulder.

“Oh my god,” you sniffled, crying session coming to a close. “Our parents are gonna be so excited!” All the gathered adults laughed, and the air settled into such a warm glow of gratitude. You were lucky for sure. One more added to the family, and you and your Husbands couldn’t be happier.

This is why I dropped off of Crystal after season 3, they keep pandering to the 90s fans and reusing stuff from the 90s anime that it became hard to enjoy it. Deadass wish that we could get another adaptation, this time one that's actually faithful to the manga instead of catering to nostalgia and hopefully not in Toei's hands because they haven't been treating it right.

Like this right here

I know I made light of this situation which you can find the post right here but this really goes beyond homages to the 90's anime.

It's not a copy and paste but it's straight pandering to the 90's anime.

Because the simple fact the top pic is an VERY VERY iconic shot in the 90's anime first season. When people see it they know exactly what scene and episode it is to point they can tell you which song is playing and probably quote lines.

So of course when they show in the trailer a shot almost look like the first shot, the comparisons is going to happen. Which lord, I can not go on a SM FB group without seeing these two shots together being posted and people saying " Oh I like the 90's anime one better." and " Well this didn't happen in the manga." which we already know that.

I mean Dark Kingdom Arc and StarS Arc supposed to actually mirror each other if you really think about it since it really shows Usagi's growth as teenager on the cusp of womanhood but the 90's anime missed the memo .

But I also look at in this angle which I did touch on in the previous link.

I really wonder how Naoko feels about the second shot that going to be in Cosmos because lets think about this.

Naoko wanted to kill the senshi the Dark Kingdom so it only be one arc but was told not to by execs because they wanted another season.

The writers then killed the senshi off which episodes 45-46 still pack an emotional punch to this day which is 31 years ago. Then you have the top shot which is Usagi fighting Beryl by herself but with the sprit of the senshi beside her which is one the most recognizable shots in the 90's anime.

So they did something that she wanted to do but couldn't do because they told her not to do it which the 90's anime got a big emotional pay off for doing it.

So Naoko does Black Moon, Infinity, then Dream arc which arc feels like the end but they want her to do one more arc.

So she does it but does it her way and at last she does what she wanted to do in Dark Kingdom arc.

Kill the Senshi off.

But she does it in a way that you can tell that she's done for real and you can tell that she's done.

Have a villain that is a also Sailor Senshi gunning for the most powerful Senshi?

Yeah kill your main love interest when he's purposing to the main character?

Take out the main character best friends two by two and don't give you enough time to grieve before the next two is gone?

Take out the main character new allies by impaling one of them and killing them?

Then bringing the main character friends and love back in which she have to fight and kill them in order to save them?

Yeah she was done. If you kill your main characters the way Naoko kill her off in StarS ( even if she bought them back) she was really to let go of Sailor Moon and move on.

But then the 90's anime couldn't even do her last arc right as a simple thank you for all the work she done..

Which now we have the reboot that has been faithful to her content 95% of the time.

So I really can't imagine her seeing the top image and not going back and thinking about the fact how she wasn't able to do that and not 31 years later in a reboot that suppose to be faith to her work decided to pay homage to it in the bottom image is something that SHE couldn't do until that last arc when she finally said "Fuck it let me kill them all . " ( Which I know just had to be fucking satisfying)

Even if the 90's anime made her money just like the Manga did.

It's a like a slap in the face to me but I maybe reading to much into it..

It always feel like the 90's anime will take precedence over any other version of Sailor Moon which is completely not fair.

It maybe the version that got most of us into the fandom but it shouldn't be the one that should have the most pandering..

One more point than I'm gone

Like this Iconic scene right here in R Movie

Some people want to say that Crystal was "copying and paste" this scene in episode 14

Not realizing it is coming straight from the manga and really R Movie was paying homage to it...

Because the manga scene came first. Because somehow anything the manga or crystal do is an " insultment" to the 90's anime...

Because let my say this then I am gone for real this time.

Sailor Moon Crystal come out in 2014.

When it finally ends with the two Sailor Moon Cosmos Movies being released in June, on July 5th 2023 with be the 9th anniversary of its premiere.

So we have been Nine long years into this Adventure that has been Sailor Moon Crystal..

Which people are still having a hard time gasping the fact that this reboot that been going on for almost 9 years with two very big hiatuses is based of the manga aka the original source material and not the 90's anime.

That when we had that two year hiatus between the initial announcement of the reboot and Crystal coming out,that's one the only piece of info we knew.

Something that has been over discussed?

Something that I know I have said to many times that I know yall tired of me saying.

I am tired myself saying.

Now we are at the end of the series after nine years.

Finally after character design changes, going from web format to t.v format to movie format, this reboot is finally coming to an end and people still thinking " Oh if it happened in the 90's anime its going to happen in the Crystal" and be downright ready to say Crystal got it wrong when Crystal is doing everything that was in the Manga aka source material. As if everything the 90's anime did is law and everything Crystal is doing is going against the law.

How many times people have to say " Read the manga please?" because people are tired of those hottakes?

Bitch I'm tired since I just turned 33 today and been on this site since I was 20 years old in 2010.

November 24, 2010

So almost 13 years of seeing a lot of shit. Good and bad.

I can really use this meme big time.

I'm a damn old head on this site.

Let me wrap this up. lol

The evolution of Ophelia Addams (3)

And here is actually my last post about Ophelia (for now - I know the prototype-Ophelia of Charles Addams appears in the 2019 animated movie but there isn’t really much to say about her there to make a whole post?). HOWEVER what there is enough to talk about to make a whole post is Ophelia’s appearance in the 90s movie. What? You say you never knew Ophelia was in the two classics live-action movie? You say you only thought she was in the 60s sitcom? Well get ready to REDISCOVER IT ALL!

I present to you: Cousin Ophelia Addams. The picture above was taken from the 1991 “The Addams Family” movie. This character, as identified by the credits, is Cousin Ophelia Addams (not Frump, Addams), played by the ballet dancer Allegra Kent. You can actually see her during the grand Addams family reunion dancing alone with a candle in her hand (or rather dancing WITH a lit-up candle as her partner). She also appears during the Mamushka scene: she is part of the line-up of Addams women that play the tambourines.

You might think “Oh that’s just a little visual cameo...” WELL NO!

If you look at the script for the Addams Family movie (script which is nowadays available online, thanks Internet) you actually can find in there a full description of Ophelia AND small deleted dialogues she was supposed to have - before they were cut from the film. This precious behind-the-scenes and deleted content reveals to us that the movie-makers decided to go back to the original drawing of Charles Addams, and completely reinvent the sitcom character. Fully reusing the Shakespearian Ophelia reference, but by adding a modern American touch.

Here is how she was described: “COUSIN OPHELIA ADDAMS, who looks like a Tennessee Williams heroine who’s just been fished out of the Mississipi. Later, when Morticia entertains the guests, there was supposed to be a small exchange between her and Ophelia.

Her mind water-logged and bleary, Ophelia adresses Morticia with a spacy Thorazine smile.

OPHELIA: Where is Fester?

MORTICIA: Soon, Ophelia. Soon.

OPHELIA: Where am I?

And you might be even more surprised to learn that Ophelia Addams also appears in the sequel, the “Addams Family Values” movie!

However in it she is played by a different actress, Laura Esterman. Once more, in the movie itself she just makes a visual appearance without any actual line. She is part of the numerous guests for Fester’s wedding, and when Wednesday catches the bouquet, she is one of the two women siding her (alongside Aphasia). [In the picture above you can see Ophelia on the right, biting her nails upon seeing Wednesday caught the bouquet].

Once more the wonders of the Internet allow us to look into the shooting script for the movie. Here are unveiled MORE deleted scenes of the Cousin. Poor Ophelia seems to have her lines cut every time. Interestingly, originally Ophelia was intended to form a sort of comical duo alongside Countess Aphasia. Described as a “faded, demented Southern Belle”, Ophelia was supposed to have an exchange with Debby during the gift-shower.

MORTICIA: And this is Cousin Ophelia Addams, all the way from Memphis.

OPHELIA: Good afternoon, and congratulations. I was married once, you know. And for a time, I was so very happy.

DEBBY: And what happened?

OPHELIA (trying to recall, through a fog): I don’t know. (She looks around the room). Am I dead?

Later, at the wedding proper, she was also supposed to have this brief exchange with Aphasia.

ANGLE on Ophelia and Aphasia, among the guests. Ophelia dabs at her eyes with a lace hanky.

OPHELIA: I do love weddings. Have you ever been married?

APHASIA: Oh yes.

OPHELIA: In white?

APHASIA: In Berlin.

Synopsis: Sorting the Obey Me characters into which Olivia Rodrigo's Sour songs I picture them crying to whist being insecure about themselves or thinking of a toxic MC.

Characters: The Brothers and The Dateable (-Luke)

CW: Olivia Rodrigo's music contains Swearing, Some Suggestive Content, Infidelity and Depictions of Toxic Relationships. Lyrics imply MC is toxic/unfaithful.

A/N: Love this album! I can't wait until the new one. "Vampire" has me hyped! Also, listen, I'm gonna be honest. I'm an Asmo stan, and this album is basically his angst playlist, right?

Unrelentlessly upset (ah, ah, ah) They say these are the golden years But I wish I could disappear Ego crush is so severe God, it's brutal out here (Yeah!) I feel like no one wants me And I hate the way I'm perceived I only have two real friends And lately, I'm a nervous wreck 'Cause I love people I don't like And I hate every song I write And I'm not cool and I'm not smart And I can't even parallel park"

MAMMON, Leviathan, Asmodeus, Diavolo, Lucifer

"Ain't it funny All the twisted games All the questions you used to avoid? Ain't it funny? Remember I brought her up And you told me I was paranoid You betrayed me And I know that you'll never feel sorry For the way I hurt, yeah You'd talk to her When we were together Loved you at your worst But that didn't matter It took you two weeks To go off and date her Guess you didn't cheat But you're still a traitor God, I wish that you had thought this through Before I went and fell in love with you"

SOLOMON, Simeon, Diavolo, Lucifer, Satan

"And all my friends are tired Of hearing how much I miss you, But I kinda feel sorry for them 'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah Today I drove through the suburbs And pictured I was driving home to you And I know we weren't perfect But I've never felt this way for no one, oh And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, Now that I'm gone I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me 'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street"

SIMEON, Mammon, Beelzebub, Diavolo

"I called you on the phone today Just to ask you how you were All I did was speak normally Somehow I still struck a nerve You got me fucked up in the head, boy Never doubted myself so much Like, am I pretty? Am I fun, boy? I hate that I give you power over that kinda stuff 'Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back I'm the love of your life until I make you mad It's always one step forward and three steps back Do you love me, want me, hate me? Boy, I don't understand No, I don't understand"

ASMODEUS, Mammon, Simeon, Leviathan

"So when you gonna tell her That we did that, too? She thinks it's special But it's all reused That was the show we talked about Played you the song she's singing now when she's with you Do you get déjà vu when she's with you? Do you get déjà vu? Oh Do you get déjà vu? Strawberry ice cream in Malibu Don't act like we didn't do that shit, too You're trading jackets like we used to do (Yeah, everything is all reused) Play her piano, but she doesn't know (oh, oh) That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel (oh) A different girl now, but there's nothing new (I know you get déjà vu)"

MAMMON, Lucifer, Solomon, Asmodeus, Satan, Belphegor, Barbados

"Well good for you, I guess you're getting everything you want You bought a new car and your career's really taking off It's like we never even happened, baby What the fuck is up with that?

SATAN, Belphegor, Mammon, Asmodeus, Leviathan

"Before you found someone more exciting The next second, you were gone And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong And you always say I'm never satisfied But I don't think that's true 'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough Don't you think I loved you too much to be used and discarded? Don't you think I loved you too much to think I deserve nothing? But don't tell me you're sorry, boy Feel sorry for yourself 'Cause someday I'll be everything to somebody else And they'll think that I am so exciting And you'll be the one who's crying Yeah, you always say I'm never satisfied But I don't think that's true You say I'm never satisfied But that's not me, it's you 'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough But I don't think anything could ever be enough For you, enough for you, oh-oh No, nothing's enough for you"

ASMODEUS, Beelzebub, Mammon, Leviathan, Simeon

"We broke up a month ago Your friends are mine, you know, I know You've moved on, found someone new One more girl who brings out the better in you And I thought my heart was detached From all the sunlight of our past But she's so sweet, she's so pretty Does she mean you forgot about me? Oh, I hope you're happy But not like how you were with me I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go So find someone great, but don't find no one better I hope you're happy, but don't be happier"

LEVIATHAN, Asmodeus, Diavolo, Mammon

"It's bittersweet to think about the damage that we do 'Cause I was going down, but I was doing it with you Yeah, everything we broke, and all the trouble that we made But I say that I hate you with a smile on my face Oh, look what we became All the things I did Just so I could call you mine All the things you did Well, I hope I was your favorite crime Your favorite crime Your favorite crime 'Cause baby, you were mine"

MAMMON, SIMEON, Solomon, Belphegor, Barbados

"Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings Nothing's forever, nothing's as good as it seems And when the clouds won't iron out And the monsters creep into your house And every door is hard to close Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred God, I hope that you're happier today 'Cause I love you, and I hope that you're okay"

LUCIFER, Simeon, Diavolo, Beelzebub

Honestly, I can see all the Brothers just bawling at this one...

kynesgrove, morthal, and throat of the world for the skyrim asks!

Oooh! Very quick - thank you dearly!

Kynesgrove; What is your favorite non-major city/town/settlement? Oh this is is a kinda tricky one. I'm going to assume this rules out all the hold capitals - even the really smol ones like Morthal - and Raven Rock. Hmmm... I think ultimately it comes down to either Deepwood Vale or Narzulbur. There is something incredibly captivating about the latter - how it clings to the mountainside and is divided between two parts with a narrow rope bridge connecting them. IDK. Its just always been my favorite orc stronghold in Skyrim from an aesthetic standpoint by a wide margin. Deepwood Vale, though. That might be a weirder choice. Like, ok, I get that it technically isnt even a proper settlement (in game). Its a dungeon. But for the Reachfolk living there it really must be a fairly major settlement. I'm gonna use that as my excuse anyway. Its just... ok so very few skyrim dungeons really wow me but Deepwood Vale has gotta be one of my favorite. The progression through it, the feeling of it being a real town to the Reachmen. A settlement and not just a camp. All the intriguing ties it has to cut Reachmen content and then how it was reused as the mainland base of the Icereach clan in ESO. I've just always loved it. I'm a sucker for when TES games jump a small, enclosed, sub-worldspace on you like Deepwood Vale, Blackreach, or the Forgotten Vale. PLUS!! It was actually the dungeon that first sparked my consistant love for the Reachfolk, so it has that going for it!!

Morthal; Do you enjoy exploring dungeons and ruins? Why or why not? Sadly not particularly. IDK, by and large dungeon design never really seems to have been a Bethesda speciality. They do really blend together. Doesnt help that I am so familiar with... well... ALL of Skyrim these days that I can navigate most places with my eyes half shut. That said, when Skyrim hits, it HITS. Definitely has some really good high points and those stick with me. *Cough* See Above *Cough* These days I actually take most of my joy in playing Skyrim more like a weird TES lifesim game. I vibe in towns, hone non-combat skills, run small errands and jobs that don't even touch combat, and just sorta... well... live life like a non-adventurer. Its a weird AF way to approach it, I know, but it sparks immense joy for me. ESPECIALLY with my well honed mod order!

The Throat of the World; How do you feel about "Season Unending"? See this is an especially difficult one because I don't really play Dragonborn characters xD. But ah, well. Ok. From the times I have played through it and conceptually. I really enjoy it in idea, though the execution is REALLY clumsy. Honestly I would adore a peace council option somehow as a side path in the Civil War entirely independent of the main quest. Just sorta jam it in there, somehow. Cant hate it too much, though, since its one of the necessary parts of the (very fiddly) method of entirely ridding Markarth of those dang unkillable Silver Bloods!!

NMH Side Issues - Rugrats Comic Adventures

Welcome back to Nick Mag Highlights! And by extension: Welcome back to Nick Mag Highlights Side Issues, the series on this blog where I check out other magazines or comic books that are notably not Nickelodeon Magazine, but still scratch a similar itch. Today we’re taking a look at the very first issue of Rugrats Comic Adventures, based on the iconic Nickelodeon show.

But first, let’s run down the history checklist. This series ran for about three years, from 1997 to 2000, spanning a total of thirty issues housed in three ten-issue volumes. That would put the release of this first issue around the time of the fourth season of the show. In that case, sorry to any Dil fans, as you won’t be seeing him in this issue.

The history and creation of this series is a bit interesting, and although the information available to me disposal is a little scarce, this is my best understanding: you see, Rugrats Comic Adventures was released in America, but it seems like most if not all of its actual content was sourced from an official Rugrats comic book released exclusively for the UK in 1996 (a year earlier than Rugrats Comic Adventures’ release). Said comic was simply titled Rugrats and published by Marvel Comics (yes, that Marvel Comics).

The cover page of issue #1 of Rugrats, published in the UK by Marvel Comics. Credit to Boys Adventure Comics on Blogspot for the image and the information!

As you’ll soon see, the first story in this issue I’m talking about today is the same as the one visible on this cover of UK Rugrats (do all UK comics print the first page on the front cover?) And according to the aforementioned Blogspot source, there were allegedly thirty issues released of this UK comic, which conveniently lines up with the thirty issues released of Rugrats Comic Adventures. A conspiracy? Maybe…

The only problem is I don’t have a scan of any of the Rugrats UK comics at my disposal, so I can’t confirm if the contents between the issues of the UK and US series are the same, unfortunately. So hey, if we’re lucky, there may be content in store for us that was made specifically for Comic Adventures that those British-types just wish they could have gotten. Maybe.

But I digress. As some of you may know, this wouldn’t be the last time Rugrats would enter the world of comics. In 1998 a daily newspaper strip based on the show was launched, lasting until 2003 and outliving Comic Adventures by three years. The show’s sequel series All Grown Up also had multiple comic outings made specially for Nickelodeon Magazine, and in 2017, Boom! Studios began publishing a new Rugrats comic series which totaled to eight issues and three longer special issues. But how did these characters fare in their first foray into comic stardom? Let’s check it out!

Oh, and before we dive in, I’d like to make one thing clear: I am not a Rugrats superfan. I’ve seen my fair share of episodes of course (with how constantly Nickelodeon played it, how could I not?) But I'm just saying I may not catch specific references if there are any, or like if a comic here reuses a plot from an episode of the show, for instance. Though if anyone reading does catch a cool detail I miss, I'd love to hear about it!

You can read the full issue here.

So it looks like it’s five comics on the agenda today, along with two extra pages all about Chuckie and Angelica. That’s not a bad deal! It’s more material than I bargained for, that’s for sure.

I’m pretty optimistic going into this one. I mean, check out that art! It looks just like the show. And while I can't find any credits in the book, Think some employees of Klasky Csupo had a hand in the material here?

So the story goes, Angelica sort of gets left in charge of the babies, thanks to Tommy's mom. And naturally Angelica's quick to abuse her miniscule ounce of power and starts running the backyard like a military academy. A fine premise, and a pretty low-stakes story befitting a quick comic (well, lower than the stakes a show about babies can usually have, anyway).

There are two details that kind of throw me off though, namely being: the dialogue and… Angelica, I guess?

Dialogue-wise, everybody's pretty talkative here and that's okay. Angelica's on point, barking orders in her usual bratty way. But all the babies are rather verbose today, aren't they? I think one of the most memorable details of Rugrats personally is the characters' loose grip on language. Pretty much every line from one of the babies in the show has at least one grammatical error or made-up word, and it's charming! Here though, all the dialogue is written in perfect English, and once you notice it, you can’t forget it.

You'd think Tommy's newfound eloquence would have Chuckie trust his plan a bit more.

Now, onto Angelica. Simply put: they made her look insane in this comic! I mean just take a look at the two pages I posted prior and see what I mean. Orrrr… I suppose you could look a this collage I made for the same result:

Yes, these are all from the same comic. Even Tommy’s scared.

This may be my lack of Rugrats knowledge shining through again but I really don’t remember her being portrayed with a huge bulbous overbite like that. Or with that many teeth. Don’t get me wrong though, I can totally get behind some funny off-model art that I bet the artist had fun drawing. That’s what they refer to in the industry as a “win-win”.

But yeah, overall a pretty solid first story, which is either elevated or dishonored by taking certain artistic liberties. Depends on who you ask. I’m on Team Elevated.

Next up is a bio on Chuckie. I didn’t think there was much to share regarding the personal intricacies of a literal two-year-old, and apparently the writers here agreed, seeing as how they had to resort to doxxing the poor kid just to fill their fact quota for this page. 446 “Braintree” Lane? Weird name, but I guess it’s pretty befitting considering Chuckie’s hair looks like his brain sprouted out of his head.

Another cool thing of note here is that all the Chuckie facts listed here are actually references to episodes of the show. As a kid it was always an awesome feeling whenever I understood a reference. It simultaneously made me feel smart and seemingly validated my choice to engage in a piece of media. Thumbs ups all around! Thanks, Chuckie.

Second comic of the evening, and actually I found myself really enjoying this one! The gripes I had from the previous comic have been ironed out, and the setting of the story is pretty interesting and leads to a lot of fun and creative moments. The short and long of it is Tommy and the other babies accidentally end up riding on the baggage carousel of an airport and getting mixed up with all of the machinery. Naturally, instead of getting smushed and ripped apart by the gears and mechanisms like boring real babies would, the gang ends up having the time of their lives, all the while believing they’re actually at a carnival.

Fun it is, indeed! As I said, my issues with the last comic have been effectively taken care of. All the characters are speaking as they should, dropping some funny misspellings for words like “skelitom” for skeleton and “loudsneaker” for loudspeaker. The art here is way less unhinged as well, probably because there’s no Angelica in it. There’s still some funky shots though, like long-arm Tommy here:

A fine addition to the issue in my opinion, and it even comes with cameos from Tommy’s maternal grandparents, Boris and Minka. Boris doesn’t speak a word, but he is sporting his original design that features small dot-eyes, which is a detail that would be dropped later on in the series.

I guess my only question is: why are Chuckie, Phil and Lil here? The obvious answer is because they’re main characters, but they’re not Stu and Didi’s kids, and none of their parents are to be found. I guess the Pickles got stuck babysitting on top of having to pick up the grandparents from the airport. Poor saps.

Oh god, Angelica’s back. At least she’s seemingly sorted out her inflated lip issue from the first story. No, I won't let it go.

Today’s adventure follows the babies as they’re getting their first ever professional photos done. Angelica is there too. These premises have been fine so far, lots of episodes of Rugrats feature the characters tackling normal everyday places they’ve never seen before and don’t understand. A large aspect about the show I also remember however is the extensive imagination sequences. Y’know, where Tommy and the gang imagine the situation they’re in as being way more fantastical than it really is, and their setting and outfits change accordingly? That was always my favorite part of the show and it’s a little weird to see that concept not having made any appearance thus far. I know not every episode had those though, and maybe those imagination sequences were more common in later seasons of the show? I’m not sure. Regardless, that doesn’t degrade the quality of the material, of course. It’s just a thought that came to mind as I was reading.

Like the others I found this comic to be a pretty good time, although the story’s a little all over the place. The art’s nice as well. I actually found some of the art of the characters here to look somewhat cute, surprisingly. That’s not exactly the kind of term I’d usually use to describe the show’s visuals. Not sure what the artist here did differently specifically, but I did notice that Phil and Lil’s gross crooked baby teeth don’t make an appearance, so that probably helps their easiness on the eyes.

One highlight of this comic is this small moment of divine intervention where Angelica gets attacked by a bird that comes in through an open window. She didn’t really do anything bad this time to deserve it but, eh.

And of course, the gang manages to pull themselves together to finally get that one perfect picture. I appreciate they saved two pages to make this ending shot so big. It’s a really nice way to end things. Another quality story done! Honestly at this point, the issue’s fitted out a pretty positive track record. I’ll be surprised if we see any stinkers in the second half.

Oh and before we move on, I just want to bring up this small interaction from the beginning of the comic. It might be just me, but this moment just strikes me as odd. I probably won’t be able to explain this properly, but just hear me out: It’s a little weird to see Tommy and Chuckie acknowledge they’re not really talking, right? Like, yeah it’s always been established in the show that the babies are not actually speaking real language ‘cause the parents never hear them, but it’s not something you ever see them bring up and reference. Acknowledging that their form of communication is basically fake… Also the fact that they comprehend what speech is and are aware that what they’re doing isn’t that? I dunno, I might just be overthinking this. It’s too meta!

And up next, it’s what I think miiiiiiight be my favorite comic of the issue? Not entirely sure, it’s a toss up between either this one or the airport one.

The story is as follows: The Pickles are having their whole house repainted. As usual, the kids just can’t bear to keep their noses out whatever is currently going on in their immediate area. So, Tommy enlists the help of the gang to use all the excess paint cans to repaint his entire room with an extravagant picture.

Like the airport comic this one has lots of dialogue between the four kids, and everyone gets their fair share of good lines. Chuckie does kind of come across as a little more whiny than usual here if only for the fact he never actually helps at all, outside of helping Phil and Lil save Tommy from smashing his head on the floor with a blanket.

”We- We’ve been… Greened!” might be my favorite line of the whole issue.

And as one could expect, the group made up of 0-to-2-year olds don’t exactly succeed in professionally painting the entire room. However, they instead manage to mess up in just the perfect way to still achieve the result they wanted. Being serious, this is genuinely a pretty wholesome ending and Tommy’s parents also being happy with the result is equally humorous and sweet.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure this is my favorite story of the issue. Tons of great lines and gags, a sweet ending, and a major appearance of my favorite character from the show, Grandpa Lou. A good show all around!

Well, after my high praise of the previous post, I guess that means this last comic has something to live up to. And yeah, under that lens, this comic isn’t going to be usurping my #1 favorite spot. Viewed on its own, however, and… eh, still doesn’t really do anything for me.

This one has Tommy accidentally getting stuck on top of his dad’s new custom stunt kite as it gets blown away by a gust of wind, flying him through town. Already that plot is kinda off, to me at least. I know it’s a show about talking babies and everything but the show never really got that cartoonish in its logic, at least to my recollection. Tommy must have to be basically hollow on the inside for the kite to get that kind of air with him sitting on top of it.

On the positive side of things: the art is really good! Each panel sports its own unique camera angle which gives the comic some nice visual variety. The coloring and details on all the backgrounds, likewise, are lovely to look at. Overall this presentation makes for a very extravagant ending for the comic, at least in the art department. And to top it all off, it's even got the return of long arm Tommy:

But again, in regards to the story… Even if you’re willing to accept the weird logic of it all, the actual plot isn’t super entertaining. Tommy flies around a bit, some people see him and are surprised, while Angelica’s down below using Stu’s radio trying to order Tommy to land. It’s just a bit lacking in substance compared to the other stories we’ve looked at. If you’re going to do a story like this, you might as well go all in. Like, have all the babies on the kite and pretend they’re a flight crew. Y'know, some real Snoopy-type stuff.

And of course, Tommy makes it back down to the ground just in time before his Dad can notice a thing (although it’s not like he really had control of the kite anyway, I think?)

But that’s about all I’ve got to say on this one. Not the great ending one would have hoped for, but it looks nice at least. Come to think of it, Stu could make a killing off that kite considering the amount of weight it can hold. If only he knew…

And last but… not least? It’s a guide from Angelica on how to play house. I was kind of hoping for another character bio like what Chuckie had, since then we’d at least be able to learn her weaknesses and have a chance of vanquishing her evil once and for all. But alas, this is cool too, and it has a mention of her friend Susie, who had been a character in the show for a couple years now by this point but didn’t manage to make an actual physical appearance in the issue.

Bit of an odd way to end the issue, being honest, but eh, it’s a little funny.

And before we wrap it up I’d like to bring up the little legal disclaimer here on the final page, confirming that all these comics were indeed sourced from the origins Marvel-published UK Rugrats issues.

Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? I was a little skeptical going into it, but I think this turned out to be a pretty good choice for another installment of Side Issues. It had a history lesson opportunity, some great art, and a lot to talk about. Everything you could want, at least if you write blog posts about old Nickelodeon-related publications in your spare time, anyway.

And hey, there’s more to this series than what I’ve shown you today, too. Did you know the last issue featured a crossover between Rugrats and Rocket Power, another one of Klasky Csupo’s shows?

That’s pretty cool! And also a little odd ‘cause I thought Rocket Power took place in Hawaii. This also means the only Nickelodeon-owned Klasky Csupo show that Rugrats didn’t cross over with is As Told by Ginger, and to be fair I’m not sure how you could’ve made that work, so I’ll let it pass.

But yeah, if I check out this comic series again, I think I’ll take a look at this issue. Well, actually if I do check out this series again it’ll have to be this issue, since it’s the only other issue on the Internet Archive I could find. That’s a bummer! Hopefully people’ll find and scan more copies sooner rather than later. The internet will only be around for so long, after all.

This would be where I end things, but while I was working on this post, Nickelodeon announced a new Rugrats game of all things.

youtube

It’s a bit of a shock, but I think what’s more shocking is that it looks pretty good! The NES graphics mode does, anyway. The HD drawn graphics you can optionally switch to leave something to be desired. It seems fun! I’ll be keeping an eye on this one. And apparently Nickelodeon’s got a couple more retro-styled games in the works, so I’m excited to see where this goes.

That about does it for this episode of Nick Mag Highlights! I’ll see you all next time, where I’ll most certainly be checking out another issue of the actual magazine this blog is named after. Probably. See you later, and have a good one!

oh God so emotional rn...just finished the walking dead comics and ngl...I really loved the ending, not just because of the way I hated the direction the show went but mainly how things weren't left open ended and that I got to see Carl be fuckin happy for once cause he deserves the world. The world building also is something I loved, even in the short amount of time, it was well used for showcasing how Rick changed things for the better and all the deaths were not in vain and actually meant something, sacrifices if you will. I like the whole old western feel of it. Got to see Magna and Yumiko happy and old together which is sooo fucking and Jesus and Aaron which is AAAAAAAAA. I'm happy that Michonne is in a good place and with her family, cause damn that woman deserves it after what she also went through. Wish I could've said more as I was reading it but I didn't have the time to write or anything, not that anyone will really see this. Honestly just a very well rounded ending. Doesn't feel like a GOT type of ending. As much as I would've love to see more I'm glad that Kirkman ended it there. Also read the Negan lives comic and the earlier one Here's Negan and damn I fucking adored those. It really just added more depth to his character and his backstory. Now for the Michonne Special (not that I really call that a comic, more like a lazy excuse of one with the reusing of stuff from the main source) it was okay, but from what I heard the telltale one is awesome and actually did her character justice. (Pun intended). Can't wait to get the games and also read Rick Grimes 2000, looks like a fun read. There's still a bunch of content I'm sure still out there for me to get to and I'd love to get to it. Just wanted to ramble here

hi hi!! I havent seen anyone ask about her but can i have some facts about your oc kat? I love learning about other peoples oc so i wanna know more about her (sorry if i make grammar mistake)

OH BOY UM R-R-REALLY🥺🥺🥺🥺 *slap* AI KEEP YOURSELF TOGETHER ALRIGHT SO UM

-Kat is actually an au of my ocsona named well....Kat. Like have you seen those people who usually make selfship content and they just have one oc to reuse? Yea that's her.

-She came from a noble family in a distant planet and the leader before her (a parent of hers) was corrupt leading to an assasination lead by a coup that resulted in her taking up the role as the next one.

-Originally she was the heir but due to not being able to live up to the previous leader's expectations, she was soon replaced by her sister who did not want the position.

-Now she seeks to create a place where the people would be able to reach their dreams no matter how high they were regardless of their condition.

-She enjoys writing down her thoughts and imagination on a journal she always carries either on breaks or at night after a job well done.

-Is always seen with a smile as she fulfill her duties and can sometimes be found gossiping or having a humorous conversation with her maids.

-She really loves making handcrafted gifts in her free time, most notably letters filled with poems to whoever she's gifting it to which are secured shut with a custom wax seal used for personal mail as opposed to the official family seal she uses for more formal occasions.

A bonus little doodle:

#Maybe I should finish her reference sheet #TEHEHEHEHEHHEEHE I LOVE HER ACTUALLY #a little explanation for the “not even a cat” canon au Kat actually has a cat form that I drew once and never again #Yes #The name is a pun.#ai rants #Should i put this on the hsr oc tag its kinda cringe #Fuck it #hsr oc #BOOM #-yours truly~☆

Let's talk about why Miracle and Plague will be a short series and additionally why I chose to write out characters such as Kagami, Zoe, Felix (I'm sorry baby </3)

Miracle and Plague won't be very long. In fact, It will be twice as short as the canon, purely because I feel like the series lost that sparkle, that thing that really made it special somewhere in the season 3. All of it started feeling worn out, boring or just annoying. It's also when the decision to re-estate Chloe as a villain really took place, so I'm obviously very displeased with how the seasons went on, but It's not the only reason! Adrien's character got completely assasinated, replaced by 10 and more heroes. I really like the doubt arc they had going for him, but It was never actually memorable or so impactful. All the focus seemed to be on Marinette and her issues, but the character who's the closest to the main villain, the one with a ton of their own insecurities to be explored was pushed aside. To add to that, the newer heroes were becoming boring or just straight up made me sigh when Ladybug needed to go get someone to help. Don't even get me started on the mass-hero episodes like Partycrusher or Penalteam. It was a lot squished together into 2 seasons where If not for the miraculous reveal, It would've been nothing short of a filler episode.

I feel like not adding too many plotlines, characters is simply a better idea. It'll ensure that all the existing ones will be explored to their best potential. Adrien's family story, Chloe's character, Chloe and Sabrina's relationship, Jiayi and Lila's relationship/rivalry, Alya's hero potential, Lila's urge for chaos, Monarch/Gabriel's motivation, Master Fu's backstory, possible expansion of Wonders - these are very good plotlines! Not even mentioning the side/less important plots like Luka and Jiayi's past, Unicorn band, Juleka wanting to be a model, Juleka and Rose's plot, Alix's hidden Wonder, Natalie's crush on Gabriel, Adrien's self-discovery. There's a LOT of them already and to add like 10 more just because I want a new character would extend and complicate the plot further. Not that I wouldn't take the challenge, but I just want to see this series conclude in a way that in my opinion is more satisfying than whatever we're getting.

As for the characters I wrote out.. I think most of them already have a sort of pattern to them where you can tell why I removed them.

Zoe. Oh Zoe, the worst character I've had the displeasure of seeing on screen. I already reblogged plenty of content in regards to her, so I'll just refrain from writing a rant on that excuse of a character.

As much as I would've loved to keep Kagami (I still might), I really feel she wouldn't fit the narrtive so nicely. Of course, she appears in Riposte, but upon reviewing the timeline of MnP, that's literally the only episode she is taking an active part in as of today. I don't really see a reason to keep her in the lore If she'll appear once and never again, It feels a bit counterproductive, but like I said, I am still thinking about this one, because her and Adrien have so much potential in development; both coming from strict, cold households, both fencing... They do have quite a bit in common. Maybe If I just move Riposte to season 1....

Moving on to Felix, I believe I already mentioned that my first opinion of him was bitter. I didn't really like him being there and the fact that he look eerily like Adrien as If they'd reused his model was just weird (ig now we know WHY season 5 spoilers). Then, the opinion shifted to much better after mostly Emotion really and since then I really did like him, but... Looking at his journey from the end of season 3 to here and his role in the overarching plot I feel like he just wouldn't fit to MnP, not with the format I'm going for.

Besides, can I just mention how random it was that Emilie and Felix's mom look literally identical AND their sons look identical as well? It made me so confused when I first watched the episode lmao

Kitchen Magic: Chive Infused Vinegar

Chives are a wonderful but underused ally to the witch who works in the garden and in the kitchen. They are an easy herb to grow - far easier to manage than its other allium cousins, onion or garlic, and they can produce all season long with a bit of care. Plus, like the other alliums, they convey the magical properties of protection and hex-breaking which are always welcome in a witch's home.

Here in Southern New England, the first shoots of chives break ground in late April or early May and they are ready to harvest by the end of May or early June. We try to wait until they have flowered for the first time to harvest and then we cut them back to about 1 inch. This can be done every two to three months throughout your harvest season giving you a near-endless supply of herb to use in your kitchen and in your magic.

We cut up the green shoots and store them in the fridge where they can be added to any dish that you might use onion but the flowers - oh, they are a treasure all their own! They can be put into salads for a spicy flower treat or added to dishes as an edible garnish but I wanted to share with you my secret for preserving the beautiful flavor of chive: chive blossom-infused vinegar.

If you've been hanging around for a while, you might have caught on that I love using long-form infusions in my witch work. Stored safely in a ball jar, you can infuse your intentions into your work over and over again as you return to it daily to shake the contents. Then, depending on your intention, you can charge the final product with any number of things (sunlight, moonlight, candles, insert your favorite method here) to finalize your ingredient. This can then go into further spellwork or be used as-is.

Making chive vinegar is easy: harvest and wash your chive flowers. You want to use flowers that are opened but not at the seed phase yet. You can add in some greens, too, if you want, but this is not necessary. Add your chive blossoms to a sealable jar (I prefer ball-styled jars for this purpose but a reused jar will do so long as it seals well) and top with white vinegar. I use about twice as much vinegar as chive blossoms but you can add more or less - just make sure that your blossoms are submerged. Put your vinegar in a space out of the direct sun and let it sit for three weeks - return to it daily (or as often as you remember) to give it a good shake.

After the three weeks is up, strain out the chives parts and store the vinegar in a pourable container - you might want to use one that see-through because it is the most beautiful color pink.

There are so many ways that you could use chive vinegar. You can use it to quick pickle things or in a salad dressing. You can clean with it if you think that your house needs hex-breaking and/or protection. Mix one tablespoon of vinegar in with the water when you wash your floors or use it as is to wash windows or mirrors. You could add some into bathwater to create a hex-breaking bath.

Or, how about a combination of all three? Clean yourself (internally and externally) AND clean your house.

Do you like my work? You can support me over on KoFi by tipping me, purchasing an astrology report, or buying some of my art.

Well, I bought ad-free Tumblr.

I did it because I realized what I would prefer, if I could have my way (aside from just no one needing to pay for anything at all ever hahahahaha), then we'd all pay to subscribe to tumblr and it just wouldn't be free. It'd be like $1.99 per month and all of us would pay it and have no ads and be happy and whee.

Now that's not my serious opinion. I know, for one, what happens when you stick things behind a paywall. Tumblr might not be a scientific journal or reputable news source (lol) but a paywall still divides, still excludes, and that's antithetical to the entire experience of the Internet. And then, there would still be all the other social media sites that have ads and don't make you pay out of pocket, which would sail on with everyone who can't afford or doesn't want to afford tumblr.

Everyone paying a nice, neat, cheap monthly fee or discount annual fee and getting along together is what would work best for me, but it's not realistic for everyone. But, since I'm willing to do it, I thought, why haven't I? And I'll tell you why: Because idk about the rest of you, but much of tumblr really doesn't work that well for me. I have issues with posting, especially with paragraph breaks and trying to move bits of text around. I don't like that posts I reblogged in the past are hidden forever behind "Flagged for mature content" warnings and it's like. A picture of a cat. Not to mention broken music links and videos (which I guess aren't tumblr's fault, just makes me sad). I don't like how pictures seem to always end up sized differently and you have to open it just the right way to see it how you want. Not to mention a bunch of features tumblr used to have that I loved have gone away or been massively de-emphasized: support for music players on blogs, for example. (Yes I still have one but it's a pain the neck.) Polls are nice but I miss that. I also miss convenient free themes - they're still there of course! But finding one that has everything I want (no endless scrolling, clear navigation, visible icon and description, music player, etc) is also a pain and I just end up reusing the same old one I've been using since I joined and recoloring it lol.

So I'd be happier about paying for tumblr if the experience were just a touch cleaner, faster. Oh, and not forgetting about PC users xP I know lots of people use their phone, I do too, it's convenient - but PC is just easier. Well, maybe for teens who can type on their phones at 50 mph it's no big deal. But I love love love my keyboard.

But anyway I paid it so I get a year without ads. Honestly I thought about it and $40 a year is what, ten cents a day? I really don't mind that. I wasn't really bothered by ads anymore since they've been scaled back, but now I can be bothered by them even less, so yay. OTOH, it looks like the subscription auto-renews, which I HATE. If so, I hope they send a warning email a few days before.

Oh and you know what else helped. I did a few youtube searches recently, and wanted to tear out my own hair over how frustrating it was. I just want a list of videos that relate to the subject of my search, not interspersed between "things I've seen before," "random shorts," "things that are similar," "things totally different that Youtube wants to show me anyway." And same thing on Google, Amazon, anywhere. I'm just so sick of it. So I'll fucking pay for fucking tumblr x'D Just work and not be annoying alright!!

I find it amusing that the moment I paid, I got a pop-up asking me to pay more to give ad-free to someone else. I might be more amenable when my pocketbook isn't smarting anymore 9_9

But this was funniest of all:

OK, I can't imagine ever doing it, but I suppose there's someone out there who thinks highly enough of the stuff that gets blazed to decide they want to continue seeing it even after spending $40 x'D But who is paying the fee and choosing show all ads? Please, is there anyone? I want to see a cryptid for myself.
