My first thought was "meep meep!" from that roadrunner and coyote cartoon, though I haven't seen anything to do with either of them in years. Is meep meep the roadrunner's actual name? hang on. Apparently it's name is Road Runner. Which like. Fine. But i'm always going to think Meep Meep.

My second thought was Dora the Explorer. Wait I just looked up The Map and?? The Map has a twin sister in one episode and one episode only? He has a nephew?? What has been going on in Dora since I stopped watching back up hold on.

I'm getting way off track but today was the day I learned Dora's last name. I didn't actually know she had one. I knew that her name (Dora) comes from exploradora, which means explorer (feminine) in spanish, but who knew this exploradorita had a whole last name?? It's Márquez btw. Her name is Dora Márquez.

Also I forgot about her Dora and Friends look and it's just so strange to see. Like excuse me where is the silly little adventure girl from my shows. What have you done to my blorbo. Why is her hair long why does she have earrings. I know it's her preteen look but something about it is just like...that is not my Dora.

Map gets turned into an app??? Hold on. back up. I haven't even watched this but now I'm like. I'm being drawn back into dora I gotta find out what they've done to my girl. It says Dora and Friends includes more complex spanish though, so that's a plus! Wish I'd had that as a kid.

Nonsie I'm going to stop before I get completely off track into a Dora the Explorer loop. I might have to watch that live action Dora now. My mind is reeling so much just happened in so little time. I'm. huh.

map map to you too, I suppose!

#quil's queries #nonsie #wait hang on I didn't even look into boots wait #HE'S A GUEST STAR???#there better be a good reason he's only a guest star now #boots is integral to the dora experience #i'm. nonsie I don't even know where to go from here #your innocent chaos ask has turned into my childhood flipped upside down #map is an app. i. no. dora with technology feels so weird #she's a silly little kid adventuring around outside exploring the world. why does she have a phone #i think a phone for emergency contact is fine? like a flip phone? but the thought of dora and a modern phone just #doesn't mesh in my mind #i don't wanna outright reject the changes just because I'm resistant to change so like. please don't take this as me outright c #*criticizing new Dora #i don't think i can make judgements without watching #these are just my immediate thoughts #anyway. moving on #(lying. I will continue to think about this)

25 Quick Fix Fics: Or, Stories that help me deal with people and keep my job

Ugh, You ever have one of those days where you think that crazy cat lady might be onto something?

Okay, I’m getting ahead of myself.

So, here’s the thing, I am not really a ‘people person’. I don’t like big crowds; I don’t like excessive chatting and overblown drama. I have a very low tolerance for stupidity, obnoxiousness, or rudeness and my general reaction to seeing a couple being exceedingly affectionate and overly cutesy is to wish I had a spray bottle. Another thing? I work in customer service.

I deal with people for about nine hours a day. Despite that, It actually takes quite a lot to put me in a bad mood. Somewhere along the way I have developed the mindset; if I have to be there anyways (since, you know, I’ve grown somewhat attached to things like food, shelter, and wifi) I may as well make the most of it. I chat, laugh, joke and smile. I usually come across as one of the cheeriest people you could meet. Know why? No, it’s not something I get in the pharmaceutical part of the store, and no, it’s not my innate ability to mask my sarcasm as sincerity (well, not just that); It’s because, most of the time, my head is filled with fanfiction. Fluff, humor, and weird little bits of randomness that just put me in a good mood.

I think we all can use something like that every now and then. Whether it’s about something specific or if you’re just in general having a bad day; sometimes you just could use a bit of a pick-me-up. A bit of sweet, funny, harmless something, and sometimes, you need it rather quickly. These Are a few of my favorite really quick, short little stories that can cheer me up and make me smile when I really need it; and they’re all under 2,000 words, so you can literally read them on a five minute break.Hope they are as beneficial to you as they are to me:

Baffling, Beautiful-Steve McGarrett's idea of pillow talk. Literally, the shortest story I have, less then 400 words.

Jack does his part to protects the world – Jack protects the world the best way he can.

C is for COCKTAILS- Alec May be a bit drunk, and sappy, and cuddly- part 3 of ‘A Shared Life (Malec Alphabet)- Most of this series is fluff, but there are a few angst ones, that, yeah..

G is for GLITTER- Alec was a curious person and it was his curiosity that led to his downfall. Or rather, the glitter explosion that was currently raining down on him. Ch. 7 of A Shared Life (Malec Alphabet)

The Strange Sunday Morning Meanderings of Xander- Xander has too many thoughts on a Sunday morning.

Ornithology- Greg wants to be a red-tailed hawk. Just sweet, domestic, fluff.

Candid Yams- Xander And Spike host the Harris family Thanksgiving- yeah, it.. it doesn’t really go as planned, but there’s pie!

People and Angels of Walmart- Sam and Gabriel have to go on a supply run. ( I honestly don’t know why I like this one so much, it is just so random, I can’t help it)

Get the candy Gabriel- Sam has had it with Gabriel eating all the Halloween candy, he has went to get it FOUR times, now its Gabe’s turn. Total Domestic fluff

Roller Coasters and Caramel: Gabriel is afraid of roller coasters, luckily the cute guy he sits by is also VERY sweet and helpful (teenage story, So fluffy, and cute)

Anymore- Ezekiel finds out about Jakes past as a country singer; he thinks it’s hilarious, until he doesn’t ( this was based on the fact that the actor who plays Jake (Christian Kane had this a bit in his past, and he does have a great voice)

And the Box of Love Letters- Ezekiel is sick of love, but maybe that can change ( also, bonus for Aro! Cassandra)

Flashy lights, Painted Smiles- Isabelle is an actress being interviewed about her leading man, but he is SO not her type, the cute, redheaded reporter interviewing her, on the other hand….

True Loves gift- A Soulmates AU in which the name of your soulmate shows up on your arm on your 18th Birthday

and I never saw you coming (and I'll never be the same) - Magnus is just shopping in Sephora, Alec got sent to pick up some things for his sister and thinks Magnus must work there because, well, he’s just so pretty.

Beauty and the Beast- A Grimm fairytale AU with Nick and Monroe, kinda like a play, but not. ( So, funny, I can’t stop laughing reading this one.)

Say Hey If Your Gay- Teen AU in which, Sam is accidentally outed to his moms conservative friends, much to the delight of their Son, Gabriel

Pack Life- Boyd decides to make a documentary about the pack, insanity ensues.

Fun and Games- Casey agrees to join Chuck and the guys from work for poker at the Buymore- only problem, they didn’t tell him it was strip poker!

Wrong Time, Wrong Place- Okay, so maybe a hostage situation at a bank isn’t the best time to pick up a cute guy, but in Sam’s defense, he is really Cute!

Christmas Dinner with the Winchesters- The Winchesters, Their Angels, and Bobby spend Christmas together.

Simon la Exploradora- Simon wants to impress Raphael by learning Spanish. How does a Nerdy, newly turned Vampire do this? By watching Dora the Explorer, of course

Sexy ways to get your man- Steve wants to impress Danny, he takes advice from a drunk Kono, and Cosmo

You Can Say Anything With Flowers- Sam runs a flower shop, Gabriel wants something for his arrogant Ex’s Wedding.

Warlocks are Better than Wizards; Alec takes his little brother trick-or-treating for the first time, they meet a Warlock who is suspicious of Alec, but also completely gorgeous.

So, there it is; my list of quick fix fics (try saying that three times fast) to make for a better day. I hope they are as beneficial to you as they are to me.

***BONUS

Jackpot Boyfriend Winner: Alec, loopy from a potion, thinks Magnus is a nurse, but he doesn’t remember any nurses being that pretty. I saved this for last, because, If none of the others could cheer you up, this one will. The cutest thing I’ve ever read.
