The Babylon Bee School of Comedy

Have you ever wanted to make Elon Musk reply to you with a double cry laughing emoji?

If you crave that sweet billionaire validation you need only follow this carefully crafted conservative comedy content creation course for that powerhouse of online satire... The Babylon Bee.

Soon you too could be bootlicking billionaire balls with the rest of The BBee writers.

Are you ready to get your learn on?

Let us Bee-gin.

The number one most important rule that all The BBee writers must internalize to their core...

Conservative comedy abhors effort.

Brainstorming for hours on end to craft the perfect premise and punchline... is for the Libs. Check out this Facebook meme that got 10,000 likes.

Can you order Starbucks from a bar? Doesn't matter, it's a snowflake drink for a snowflake Lib.

Does this joke not have an actual punchline? Doesn't matter, get lost you stupid Lib!

Is this technically a joke by definition? Doesn't matter, if you believe it is a joke, then it's a joke! Just like modern currency.

If you put too much thought into a joke, it might grow in complexity. That could be confusing! The death knell of any conservative joke are the words, "Hmm, that's a thinker."

This brings us to rule number two...

NO THINKERS!

Let's take this Ben Garrison comic as an example.

Spell everything out! Label everything! Don't leave anything to the imagination! If your audience has to figure something out or draw their own conclusions, what fun is that?

Conservatives want to hear things that are familiar. They want their beliefs parroted back at them. You must regurgitate those beliefs and then just make it *sound* like a joke. Don't break new ground or introduce new ideas. Don't get all caught up in interesting wordplay or clever puns or subverting expectations.

All expectations should be fully verted.

That is definitely a word because I saw someone use it on Facebook. End of research.

Here is a helpful tip. If you can't imagine the joke coming out of the mouth of late night comedy genius GUTFELD!, then you need to dial it back a bit. Do not surpass GUTFELD! levels of humor. GUTFELD! is your touchstone.

youtube

Oh, GUTFELD! I laughed so hard I FELD it in my GUT.

See, I went too far with my fancy pun. That is not the GUTFELD! way.

But what happens if inspiration is fleeting and you can't pay attention to your comedy writing task because you don't believe ADHD is real and thus you are unmedicated?

Don't you worry. If you do happen to get writer's block or are distracted by a funny Pepe meme or a shiny object, just call your racist uncle and say the magic word... "Bidenflation."

As the ensuing unhinged rant darts from subject to subject without any kind of connecting theme, just start writing down every right wing buzzword you hear. Then just insert those buzzwords Mad Libs-style into a derivative joke format.

Let's practice!

Ex. 1: Why did the PRONOUNS cross the BORDER? To get to the DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR!

Ex. 2: How many GENDERS does it take to GROOM a lightbulb? Two! One to hold the BUTT PLUG and one to GO WOKE, GO BROKE.

Great start! I'm sure with a polishing pass those will make more sense. Or not. The bar is pretty much "will it get clicks?" so we're not too worried about coherence.

Heh... Mad Libs.

U MAD, LIBS?

Get it? Cuz Libs are always mad? About the normalized bigotry and whatnot.

Jokes are always better when you need to explain them.

Oh! That's another rule. Write that down. Wisdom like this is why I am teaching this course, of course. Hah, that's like that horse show song. I got jokes coming out the wazoo. Wazoo is my butt, right? Siri, is wazoo a butt? Oof, I'm kinda spacing on what the next lesson is.

I really wish Matt Walsh hadn't flushed my Adderall down the crapper.

Can I get a second opinion? Top Gun was so good. What does Tom Cruise think about ADHD? He always has good takes on stuff like this. Did I leave my oven on? Shazam, what song goes doodoo doo doo doooooo? Can you vacuum a yard? Has anyone tried that? That sounds more like a marijuana thought than an ADHD tangent. I should double check the THC content of that cotton candy vape juice.

I'm flyin' off the rails over here.

Matt, are you super duper sure it's not real?

Okay, fine. I'm an "energetic boy."

I hope whichever fish absorbs my meds is extra focused on whatever fish shit he needs to get done.

COMEDY WRITING!

Sometimes it is best to learn through observation. Let's eavesdrop on an actual The BBee writer's room to see how the sausage is made...

"So what did your racist uncle have to say?"

"Well, first he texted me a cameraphone picture of Trump as an astronaut that he wants me to print out cuz he doesn't know what a crypto wallet is... but then he said all the woke schools are turning kids into a bunch of gay commies."

"EUREKA!"

Classic! The BBee writers strike again. I mean, they aren't striking. There is no commie clamoring for a union at The Babylon Bee. That's for damn sure. FOCUS!

Do you get the joke though? With the kids and the gay and the communism?

Because all of those woke schools totally cover complex economic theories in 4th grade and all it takes to turn gay is a little persuasion from a teacher with green hair. Libs of TikTok wouldn't lie about that. End of research.

Look at this public school teacher!

I mean, you knooow she has a litter box in her classroom. I can just sense it. End of research.

Sure... it is just a context-free picture of a person with green hair in front of a flag and you cannot actually judge the quality of their teaching ability from this. But yoouuu knoooooow she is skipping right over grammar lessons and giving detailed instructions on how to turn gay.

Step 1: Look at a bunch of butts. Step 2: Touch a bunch of butts. Step 3: Gay sex a bunch of butts.

(Replace butts with cooches for lesbians.)

Grooming accomplished.

And you definitely shouldn't look up that green-hair'd, nose ring'd educator and research her any further. Extensive research is for the Libs, bro. Because you definitely don't want to discover she is a passionate high school English teacher who makes fun content on TikTok in the hopes that people will buy things off her wishlist so her students will have a better learning experience. I mean, caring about her students? That's so gay.

YoooOOOuuuUUU knnnooooooOOOw she is a bad teacher because she has green hair and a flag. End. Of. Research.

So... you have your gay communist headline that is perfect to get all of those sweet conservative clicks. But you still have a full webpage to fill out with more words and stuff.

Now I want to see if you learned anything from my perfectly focused and informative teachings. I want you to write some jokes about kids becoming gay communists.

Ready? GO!

Joke #1 Little Billy has wealthy parents so all the students will share his cookie at snack time.

Joke #2 At the beginning of the day, students pick a new gender out of a hat but all the kids fight over Attack Helicopter.

Joke #3 At lunch, the students have to stand in a peanut butter and jelly bread line.

Joke #4 The teacher makes the kids take turns combing each others' hair for a grooming session.

Wait a sec... are those... THINKERS?

No no no no no! You made my brain all confused and thinky!

You need to calm down, you overachieving silly billy. You forgot the first rule... NO EFFORT.

Just make the same joke over and over again with slightly different wording. EASY!

Remember the classic final rule of comedy...

Jokes always get funnier the more you repeat them.

Anyway, that's probably enough... joke.

Now let's close this article out!

Maybe we can drop the pretense this is comedic satire and just do some hardcore pandering. Gotta own the Libs, amirite?

Gender theory and drag queens and guns, oh my! That is pure pander-monium.

Just shove those factless tactless Tucker talking points straight down their gullet. They'll forget this was supposed to be funny and shake their fist in the air with exaltation. And it's definitely a great idea to put the thought of gunning down drag queens in their heads. That won't backfire in any way!

Congratulations! You are now ready to "write" for The Babylon Bee.

Please purchase this official Trump NFT certificate for $99 that acknowledges that you have completed this course and have a very poor understanding of what satire actually is.

End of research.

Hi there! This idea had me lying awake at 2 am, so I've decided to share it with you and see if you can write something cute and wholesome with it; if you don't mind, could you write something for all four lovely turtle bois with an S/O who, in response to the turtle saying "I love you", says, "... I love you more." I dunno, but I kinda wanna know how the turtles might respond to that, hehe. Love your work, btw! Keep it up! claps in appreciation

Hello there, thank you for the request! Also thank you for the compliment (´ ∀ ` *) I'm glad you enjoy what I do. Hope you don't mind the format I chose lol

The guys' response to "I love you more"

▉ ▉ Raphael ▉ ▉ ● It was a quiet night, you and Raph were cuddling in his room, just enjoying the silence and time together. He puts you on top of his plastron, since that way you have more room

● He was ready to fall asleep, thinking that you were already in dreamland due to your slow and soft breathing

● "I love you, (y/n)" he says, kissing your forehead and shifting slowly to get more comfy. "…I love you more"

● Your voice but a whisper, it takes him a bit to register that you spoke and then a bit more to process the words

● Raph's response is hugging you tighter, closer to him, if possible. He knows he's not too great with words, so he wishes to convey how much you mean to him through the contact

● The squeeze got a giggle out of you, knowing very well what it meant. "Goodnight" you murmured, nuzzling to finally drift off. "Night"

▲▲ Leonardo ▲▲ ● Leo and you are watching some movies, in onesies and with soft blankets on top, overall feeling very cozy and calm. He shifted closer, surrounding you with one arm to guide your head to his shoulder. Resting his cheek against the top of your head, he casually says it. "I love you"

● "I love you more" was your immediate response, and he chuckled. "That's very sweet dear, but I think it's obvious that I love you more, since I'm a turtle"

● "What does that have to do with anything?" you shifted to look up at him, seeing his grin widen, like he had expected this to happen and was ready… oh no…

● "Because I'm turtley in love with you!". Leo proudly delivered the punchline to his joke, God, that may be the worst pun you've ever heard

● You just kissed his cheek and immediately slammed a cushion on his face, focusing back on the movie as he whinned about you not appreciating his "comedy" enough or something like that

▌▌Donatello ▌▌ ● Both of you are in his lab, he's working on some blueprints and concepts for new tech while you do your own thing. Reading a book, playing some games. However, the calm atmosphere shifted when you began hearing mumbling, and paper being ripped and crumpled into a ball that you raised your eyes just in time to see fall right into the trash

● You rose from your seat, walking up to peek at the table from over his shoulder. Donnie was obviously struggling with one of his sketches, as he tapped the pencil repeatedly on the paper

● "And if you move this, to there?" you suggested, pointing at the parts you talked about. Not that you were an expert, but being around Donnie exposed you to his designs enough to make a good guess

● "(y/n), you're a genius! I love you!" he said, taking your face into his hands to land a quick kiss on your cheek. "I love you more" you giggled. "That doesn't sound correct, because I love you more, but I'd have to do the calculations later"

● "Well, according to MY calculations, I love you more", you pushed his shoulder playfully. He laughed as he went back to his prints. "I will give the victory to you this once, but next time I'll even have graphs to prove my point". "Donnie, no". "Donnie, yes!"

⬤⬤ Mikey ⬤⬤ ● Mikey and you sat back to back, he was doing some collages and you did your own projects. A pretty chill day, being honest

● It didn't surprise you when his voice perked up above the music you had playing in the background, to casually say "I love you!" in the cheerful tone he usually has. "I love you too, in fact, I love you more!" you replied, leaning a bit more into his shell, giving him a playful shove

● Mikey turned around enough to now be side by side, hugging you tightly like that, pressing his cheek to yours. You returned the hug as much as you could, laying your hands atop the arm surrounding your front

● "Nuh-uh, I love you moooore!" he said. You giggled. "Nope! I love you more". "No, I love you more, (y/n)" "No, I love you more" "No, I love you more". You and Mikey were the couple of "Noo, you hang uuup~", and it showed, it extended to this kind of "banter" too

● However, this one ended soon enough after you heard the collective groaning from his brothers. You both just laughed one more time before resuming your activities, though, you kept the cheesy lovey-dovey grins, just to bother the others~

Dropout Does Nerdy Prudes Must Die

I am a massive Dropout and Team Starkid fan (if the latter isn't obvious enough from looking at my reblogs) and I feel like there's a lot of overlap between the fandoms. My criteria for being considered a "Dropout Person" is anyone who has appeared on a Dropout show at least once, excluding guest appearances (so for example, Monet X Change counts because she's been on one season of D20 and an episode of Um, Actually, but Laganja Estranja doesn't count because she was only a guest on one of the Legally Not Survivor episode of Game Changer)

I will be trying to factor in voice types where I can, but there will be some instances where I just assume the person can sing the part, because I don't know if the person can sing or not. Also, I will be casting each of the individual parts, I know the actors in the OG cast play multiple parts, but there are so many talented people in the Dropout roster that I can cast each part individually.

Please enjoy. Also spoilers for Nerdy Prudes Must Die, I don't think I can talk about this without them. And also for Dimension 20's A Court of Fey and Flowers.

Max Jagerman: Grant O'Brien

I'll be honest, my main motivation for this one is that Grant looks a bit like Will Branner. He does play the heel really well, and I think he would do a great job playing Max, especially his more Freddy Kruger-esque quipping when he's dead.

Also, this is pretty niche, but in an old College Humour year-end video, where they all pick their favourite skits of the year (I think it was like 2018 or 2019?), Grant talks about how he thought it was really funny that in the Jocks and Nerds Both Think They're The Underdogs sketch, he was the closest thing the College Humour cast had to a jock, and this feels pretty similar to that.

Grace Chastity: Anna Garcia

She has a very unhinged "I am short and I will make that everyone else's problem" energy about her that you really need to play Grace. I think she would also do great with the physical comedy needed for the part.

Peter Spankoffski: Omar Najam

Awkward, nerdy guy who falls in love with the baddest bitch in the cast and would die for her. Am I describing Peter Spankoffski or Prince Andhera from A Court of Fey and Flowers? Also I want to hear Omar sing Cool as I Think I Am.

(This is a joke, love Binx but clearly Delloso De La Rue is the baddest bitch in A Court of Fey and Flowers)

Stephanie Lauter: Surena Marie

I don't have a real explanation for this one, this is vibes.

Richie Lipschitz: Ross Bryant

Watching Ross work his way through all the possible nerdy white guy rap options in Game Changer Karaoke cemented for him that he needs to play one of the nerds.

Ruth Flemming: Izzy Roland

A part that requires the performer to be deranged and horny? Call Izzy Roland!

Solomon Lauter: Brennan Lee Mulligan

Any Dimension 20 (or Critical Role: Exandria Unlimited) fan knows, Brennan is amazing at playing callous, cruel and manipulative characters, so Solomon Lauter is right in his wheelhouse.

Wiggly: Josh Ruben

Josh is so good at voices and playing weird characters, I would love to see his take on Wiggly.

Blinky: Erika Ishii

Erika Ishii is absolutely unhinged, I had to cast them as one of the Lords in Black. They could honestly be any one of them, but I picked Blinky because the voice Lauren Lopez does reminds me of Erika.

Nibbly: Lisa Gilroy

This one is also just vibes, but the vibes are correct.

Tinky: Zac Oyama

I am the head of the Zac Oyama As Weird Little Guys fan club, and what is Tinky if not a weird little guy? (who is also a chaotic evil eldritch being)

Pokey: Mike Trapp

I mainly just went off the vibes of the "What do you want Steph?" line, I think Mike would do well.

Detective Shapiro/Female Reporter in Hatchet town: Rashawn Nadine Scott

This is the only one I'm casting two parts, because they're both relatively small (and also I fully forgot that Bryce was not playing Detective Shapiro in Hatchet town until I checked the Genius page lol). Anyway, I think Rashawn would do great at acting as Detective Shapiro, but the main motivation behind this choice is that I want to hear her sing Bryce's part in Hatchet town. She would murder it as hard as Max murders nerdy prudes.

Officer Bailey: Jacob Wysoki

You need someone to chew scenery and throw props? Call Jacob Wysoki, he'll eat it up and go back for seconds

Brenda and Stacy: Jujubee and Monet X Change

I want to see them do the Go Go Nighthawks cheer, I think it would be amazing.

Jason and Kyle: Zeke Nicholson and Ify Nwadiwe

They both seem like the kind of guys to give butt slaps (consensually of course).

Mark and Karen Chastity: Zach Reino and Jess McKenna

They both have Awkward White Parent energy, and I think they would be very funny in this part.

Miss Tessburger: Vic Michaelis

Watching them play Vic Michaelis in Very Important People makes me think they would be great as the haughty assistant.

Miss Mulberry: Katie Marovitch

Katie just has "That nice teacher who lets students eat lunch in her classroom" energy.

Dan Reynolds: Lou Wilson

You need an icon to play an icon.

Emma and Paul : Emily Axford and Brian "Murph" Murphy

Dropout's iconic married couple to play Hatchetfield's iconic couple.

Hard Cuts:

Ify Nwadiwe as Max Jagerman:

He would have slayed the acting, but I assume based on his speaking voice that he's a baritone on the lower end of the range. However, if I am wrong about this and he could sing the tenor part, please treat him and Grant as tied for the part in my eyes.

Ross Bryant as Solomon Lauter

Vic Michaelis as Detective Shapiro

Erika Ishii as Ruth Flemming

Tao Yang as Peter Spankoffski

Jess Ross as Karen Chastity

Jacob Wysoki as Max Jagerman

Wayne Brady as Dan Reynolds

Aabria Iyengar as one of the Lords in Black

Anna Garcia as Blinky

Brennan Lee Mulligan as Wiggly

Lisa Gilroy as Grace Chastity

Grant O'Brien as Solomon Lauter

So, I rewatched the trailer over and over again, I stepped back, organised my thoughts, and I think I get it.

So first the Bad, then the GOOD, because there's actually a lot to like here.

The Bad:

So, the trend of companies kicking actual voice actors onto the curb and replacing them with celebrities continues. I remember being really angry when they first announced the voice cast, and I still am. It's quite literally the most boring, generic casting possible. You can not get much more white bread, milk toast than a Chris and Scar - I want to play an Asian woman and trans man - jo. Also, why is Chris Hemsworth here? Do he really need the money? Did Thor 4 damage his pockets that bad? There are so many talented voice actors that could've been Orion, David Kaye is a prime example Animated Optimus and Beats Wars/Unicron Trilogy Megatron, beloved by fans, if he was announced people would've been over joyed. I love Brian Tyree Henry, and he actually has some experience with va work as he voiced Jeff Morales in Spider-Verse, my original criticism still stands.... And Kegan, oh Kegan, I love you so much, Key and Peele was my childhood, and the Toad performance was perfectly fine, endearing even. But as Bee? I'm sorry, but no, that's not BumbleBee that's just actor/comedian Kegan Michael Key, I can't hear anything else. And it doesn't help that he's handed the worst lines.

Which brings us to the comedy. First impressions are EVERYTHING. And if you fumble that that hurts your film, and the perception of your film. I think that's really the problem here, it's a bad trailer not necessarily bad content. Packing the trailer with jokes for the sake of jokes and having that samey Hollywood liscensed music cringey feel to it. Like the guitar riff that played when the 'This Fall' card came up just made me turn off the video immediately. That's why I recommend watching the trailer without sound. Bee's jokes don't really land for me, I'm sure kids with love it tho, and that's good. But I'm sure all the jokes won't be bad, the final door gag is actually really funny. So I think it was just a bad joke that soured out feel of the tone at the beginning, which is unfortunate because like I said first impressions are everything. Because this is Josh Cooly, of Up, Inside Out, Toy Story 4 fame, I'm sure the film will have an emotional core to it.

A minor thing I don't much care for is having Bee be in the same age range as Orion, in my mind he's always constructed during the war at like the half way mark or near the end, he's the little brother of the group, and now he's old enough to remember Op and Megs before the war. Also he sounds way too old.

Oh, also I don't like Orion's personality.

Good:

Now for the good; I think the animations style is gorgeous. Would have I liked something Spider-Verse/Mutant Mayhem-esk, of course, but what are you gonna do? The stand out here is the environments, a visual feast. This might already be my favourite Cybertron, it's so different yet reminisant of the Cybertron we know. The fact that the surface transformers and shifts and changes is genius, very IDW Phase 2 inspired. And the fact that Cybertron is a techno-organic hybrid world ala Beast Machines is crazy! I love that, and wildlife! I bet that's how we get the cassettes. The character models are great too, you can actually tell what emotion is happening on a person's face. Gone are the days of faces being made up of razor blades and mandibles BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT INSECTS FUCK YOU MICHAEL BAY. THEY'RE PEOPLE! There's the nose, the lips, the eyes, and I can tell where one begins and ends. The eyes are gorgeous and detailed, and the face surface detail has smuges, wear, specs of dirt, metallic texture. Like, you nailed it! It's a person but a robot, you got it!

We see what we assume are the 13 Primes, Alpha Trion being the only survivor, maybe they were killed by the Quintessons and they took over. D-16, a ref to IDW and his toys designation in the toy catalogue, he'll obviously name himself after Megatronus ala TF Prime. He seems to have the Decepticon insignia before meeting The Fallen so maybe Megatronus' face is some sort of religious iconography, the Primes are a religion on Cybertron after all. It's all so fascinating, I can't remember the last time I was so excited to learn more about a new TF continuity.

Orion and D-16 are both miners and or workers, that's a refreshing take, no coptimus here. They've suffered the same way together, I bet story will be about dealing with that pain, what justice means, how far one is willing to take it and where justice stops and injustice begins. I know people are mad that the origins are a little different, but I ask you, different from what? Which continuity are you talking about? TF has never had a consistent singular timeline, and that's what I love about this franchise! It builds on itself with each new continuity! Take a bit of the old, mix it with new ideas and create something fresh, then that old guard leaves and a new team takes over and does the same and the franchise continues to evolve or should I say transform. Like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get, and new incarnations always give second chances to improve apon what came before. No Reboots, no risks means no Skybite, or Nemesis Prime, no Stasis Pods, Sparks, Protoforms, Energon ore, no Star Saber, Hot Shot, Knock Out, Airachnid, no All Spark, no Sari, no Bulkhead, no old grumpy Ratchet, none of that. Reboots are a part of this franchise's DNA. I sense the people that are complaining are the people who only value one continuity and discard all others.

It's really neat this universe's version of The Cast System is lower class worker protoforms being denied a Transformation Cog, it seems like it's reserved for the higher classes, the very thing that makes their species special and unique is denied to them. Also I didn't notice it the first time, but Alpha actually pulls the t-cogs out of the dead Primes which kind of signifies a passing of the guard, the old Primes failed, now it's your turn, and of course history repeats itself with the downfall of Megatron.

I like how Trion is covered and intertwined with moss and vines and has a beast mode, showcasing that he's of an older era now gone and forgotten.

Some other smaller stuff:

The sun looks like a holographic simulation, which makes me wonder, Cybertron doesn't usually have a sun, but there's plant life now, so what's up?

The cave that the dead Primes and Trion are in kinda looks like a Dweller.

Megatron's black helmet is a ref to Marvel G1.

That spin kick where Elita twirls her entire waist around is sooo satisfying. I love it.

AIRACHNID!!?!!!! MY QUEEN HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!

I think that's a good point to end on. So, yeah, v excited.

An incomplete list of things I loved about the RWRB movie

First and foremost he total of TWO (2) lil bicep kisses Henry gives Alex (my hearttt I will never shut up about this)

Their faces when Alex gets cake on Henry’s coat

That whole scene actually. Comedy gold

Zahra straight up attacking Alex with a pillow for being an idiot

Alex looking and acting like a 10 year old petulant child during the whole hospital closet scene lol

Heny’s little voice crack when he says “I didn’t say ‘get me out of here’ I said ‘I need to get out of here’ there is a difference” BABY

on that note you don't wanna know the amount of times I said 'oh baby' to Henry during this movie :(

The eyelashes thing making it in there even though it’s not henry who says it in the movie but idc because Taylor Zakhar Perez your eyelashes sir

Alex actually grabbing Henry’s hips at the party to show him how to dance WE LOVE A BOOK ACCURATE MOMENT

On that note GET LOW

And Henry saying ‘Did he say ‘sweat drops down my balls?’ I hollered I love that moment in the book

Henry’s lost puppy look when Alex kisses the girls

Nick Galitzine managing to perfectly portray Henry’s mannerisms in the first kiss scene ‘Henry’s whole face grimaces in frustration, his eyes casting skyward like they’re searching for help from an uncaring universe.’ Like he did that perfectly

Zahra being the iconic queen she is

“You’ve been wanting him to dick you down forever”

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE RED ROOM:

the Alexander Hamilton portrait good job movie

Alex being nervous and not knowing how to stand when waiting for Henry (ik in the book this detail was after the state dinner in his room, but idc I love that they at least kept it in this way)

SHUT UP STOP TALKING

Henry’s horrified little moment of realization when he sees Alex isn’t actually gonna yell at him for kissing him but he’s actually into this like Nick Galitzine your face sir!!! It’s so soft and sad and adorable arrgghhh

The detail of Alex hitching Henry’s tigh up around him like in the book

Amy’s ‘oh god!’ when she walks in on them

Henry immediately pretending to inspect the book case and Alex randomly playing with the flowers all ‘ACT NATURAL’ lol that made me cackle

Henry’s face as he leaves Alex’s room and lingers in the doorway a bit to just…stare at him UGH

The rich white people sex dungeon scene with the polo and alex just shamelessly thirsting after Henry lol

PARIS

“Who says ‘make love’ anymore? Are we like gonna listen to Lana Del Rey while we do it?” PLEASE

That sex scene was handled with so much care. It was so soft and sensual and they worked their asses off to show their connection and it paid off lemme tell u everyone say ‘thank you intimacy coordinator’

Like I could talk for 45 minutes about that hand shot alone

How small Henry looks lying on his side next to Alex afterwards

FIRST BICEP KISS everyone say thank you whoever wrote that in the script

Henry’s disorientated ‘sgoingon?’ when Zahra wakes them up lol just like the book

EVERYTHING ZAHRA SAYS after she finds Henry in the literal closet

You could feel the ‘Zahra does not appreciate being told to chill’ radiating off of her Sarah Shahi you absolute genius

Their faces when ‘oh and I told my sister!’ :D ‘Oh I didn’t know that!’ :D ‘Yeah she was really happy for us’ ‘I can’t wait to see her again she’s real-‘ “OKAY SHUT UP THE BOTH OF YOU” lol Zahra is going THROUGH it

‘Would it make any difference if I told you not to see him again?’ ‘No.’ he said that so fast I’m gonna cry

Zahra calling Henry Little Lord Fuckleroy

Ellen at least mentioning the powerpoint even though they didn’t show it

Ellen giving alex the Queer Talk™

On that note ‘the B isn’t silent’ making it in there is so important to me as a bi person

Alex reading One Last Stop

I am NOT singing karao-

Cut to henry singing karaoke

HE DID IT HE SANG DON’T STOP ME NOW and he’s all smiley and real and open and Alex noticing it and falling more in love by the second

On that note Taylor Zakhar Perez your face sir

The lake scene (SECOND BICEP KISS HOLLAA)

On the deck when Henry is slowly realizing what Alex is trying to say (aka ‘I love you) and nick’s face just goes so desperately soft as he starts to understand that this means he’ll have to leave Alex and then his face just slowly closes off like NICK GALITZINEs FACE ACTING don’t talk to meee

That little moment afterwards that Henry spends underwater with his hand on his heart just…ACHING. Ugh someone kill me

Henry is my absolute baby can you tell

David first appearing. A real ‘and everyone cheered’ moment even though the scene is heartbreaking

‘Do you love him?’ ‘What difference would it make if I did?’ and then that sad barely there smile *insert captain Holt ‘PAAAIIINNNNN’ gif here*

“I stormed a fucking castle to look you in the eye and tell you that I love you, knowing that you wouldn’t say it back. So no, Henry, in fact, this is costing me everything.” LORD

”I can love you and want you and still not want that life. I’m allowed, all right? And it doesn’t make me a liar. It makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, and you don’t get to come here and call me a coward for it” is one of my favourite passages in the book and I am so fucking happy they kept it. Nick slayed that scene

In fact their acting in that whole sequence was amazing

“tell me to go” NOOOO I love that they kept it but it’s so sadddd

The fact that they actually filmed in the V&A

Henry mentioning dreaming of dancing there with a person he loved and Alex wasting zero time putting on a song (cry emoji)

Henry giving Alex his signet ring like in the book, but then them adding that Alex gives Henry his key in return I AM UNWELL

hi! i just wanted to say that i came across your game quite recently and it genuinely has me in a CHOKEHOLD like i haven’t been this obsessed with an interactive fiction in a hot sec, so thank you for writing this amazing story!

i was literally gushing to my friend about how much character customisation there is, and how your choices ACTUALLY matter (and are implemented so naturally), which is mind blowing to me honestly because it must have taken so much hard work and effort - i am genuinely in awe of you omg! also i love your writing style sm, and the way that you’re able to combine horror and romance and comedy and mystery AND SO MUCH MORE is so genius aaaaa

also i was actually curious about something - do you have any trackers/polls about what the most common choices in the beta game are? i’m just so intrigued about what other people are choosing !

thank you sm and have amazing day! i’m cheering for you !!! <3

Thanks for the comments! Things like the level of customization, writing style, and multiple genres present can be a bit divisive, so it's always good to hear from the people who like the style of the game.

You can check (and take part) in the various polls of what players were doing during their playthroughs at the CoG post here. The data's really helpful to let me know which parts of the game need to be emphasized or de-emphasized more.

Here's a summary of the "Average MC" (from the polo route, a bit out of date since I've gotten more data since then) in the CoG post here.

Nobody:

Book of Mormon fans: We have a very particular taste in comedy. The comedic genius behind that musical is like no other we've ever seen. The way the jokes are built in a such a perfect, good type of cheesy way, really just ties the whole thing together. Middle aged man in a Jesus costume: I am Jesus. Book Of Mormon fans:

做工前，聊一下JJK 245

This rambling is about Chapter 245 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga!

Anime only, please turn away and feast your eyes on Itadori's Goat Moment (more like a Pyrrhic victory, damn) instead!

Yea, this chapter ain't doing it for me.

There's this faction in r/Jujutsushi that thinks most of a reader's criticism against C245 is because of how Confiscation ultimately worked. Instead of taking away Sukuna's Cursed Technique, it takes away his cursed tool (christened "Dumbell Maracas" by me) and leaves Sukuna's techniques and CE intact. Our heroes seemed to have not gained any purchase.

Then people, like the dude in the link above, would explain that this is literally how Confiscation should work in the real world, i.e. "taking away possessions such as guns." This KLReviews fella summed it up really well: "He (Sukuna) can pay his fines so the Judge charges him."

After ghost-reading Reddit for a bit, I've come to expect this emerging pattern every time after a rebuttal-against-criticism post like this one: a certain subset of people begin to believe that all critics have only one "actual" argument against the chapter—and the rest are just their emotions and biases talking. This time, the Actual Argument, in their mind, is "the problem with Confiscation." Then, with a rebuttal like this post existing, critics of C245 now somehow lose ground and can only rant more or less from being butthurt over their feelings or unrealized headcanons.

But really, what if our criticisms aren't centered on the blueballing of Confiscation?

I was really excited to see C244 be devoted to the gang trying to workshop a plan based on Japanese laws so that their capricious Judge Shinigami could mete out the best sentences for their advantage. The previous chapters had been balls-to-the-walls insane—to me, the chapters recalled Stephen Chow's "Mo Le Tau" style comedy I'd grown up on. I'm sure the Japanese reader and others will be reminded of their own familiar kinds of comedy styles—and even managed to give us insights into Takaba's psyche.

With C244, I was really getting ready to see the battle becoming a (brief?) legal procedural drama where it became a bit of a showdown of wits between Sukuna, Itadori, and Higuruma. What defense will Sukuna shore up? What critical hits will Higgy bring up?

I was so ready that I haunted my amazing ass friend who dabbles in law and pestered them to give me a crash course or an essay about things. Man, I learned quite a lot just from the conversation at the tail of C244.

Sukuna was always told to be this genius chessmaster with high IQ and whatnot, so pitting him in a courtroom drama and watching him quickly learn the ropes would have been the best show-not-tell ever. And yes! A little insight into Sukuna's backstory would be a great bonus. I'm not badgering Gege over that, but I know a lot of others care a ton about this for good reasons.

And if his Cleave and Dismantle were Confiscated, well, we would be able to see how good Sukuna throws down with pure Cursed Energy + Cursed Tool (that Dumbell Maracas) and, of course, his "⬛: Open" secret technique. However, this is again, beside the point.

I really wanted to see Sukuna show his chops in an arena beyond fighting, even if just a bit. And I thought it was the best arena for our protagonists to even the odds, too.

But no. Sukuna just went I AM BORED "Skip Ad" and then the verdict and then hooray, his Dumbell Maracas was the one Confiscated and he had his CT and CE intact. Don't worry; I'm sure Sukuna will win and get his confiscated tool back, too. It's literally in his contract that he cannot lose—it's like Steven Seagal, but way less pathetic.

Someone even had the audacity to say that this """proves""" Sukuna is "very high intelligent" because he "predicted" he's gonna face Higgy and so had this Dumbell Maracas at the ready to thwart Higgy's domain. Bruh. Can brain cells also be pulled out of an ass?

Because this specific show of intelligence is also kinda... ass-pully. Why would Sukuna know this would happen if Higgy himself didn't, and that this had never happened before in Higgy's Domain Expansion career? It's as if Sukuna had read the script and had a hand in its writing while everyone is at the mercy of Gege's chef skills. You know, the way we readers are, too.

I couldn't find this^ comment in that Reddit post now. It's probably nestled too deep in some of the threads.

I really don't mind Sukuna winning the court case in Higgy's Domain; most of us predicted that. Again, Sukuna Seagal. It's the process. The meat of the writing is in the process and Gege flunked that one with yet another instance of lazy writing. Come now! Takaba vs. Kenjaku was really good. I thought it signaled a momentum. It didn't.

C245 disappointed me for what I see as yet another case of "lazy writing" masquerading as "ineffable maverick subverting expectations while "clearly" setting up the twist at the beginning."

Yea, no. I'm not convinced. I translated enough hack novels and logic-challenged self-indulgent power fantasies as my work, that I can kinda catch what lazy writing looks like. This fits the bill.

Last thought: I honestly don't know why some people are so allergic to criticismS against a cherished author. CriticismSSSS. With plural. Lest one somehow believed it was "just one valid criticism (which I then rebutted!) and the rest are all dudes melting and seething". Also, hey, I'm not abandoning the JJK ship. I like the stuff. I can feel disappointment and dismay precisely because I like this stuff. It happens. You sometimes don't love everything about this thing.

Thank you for reading my ramble.

TV Show - Dr. House | House M.D. XII

Even though I'm almost at the end of the seventh season, today's post will be relatively short compared to the others; I am incredibly tired! (Don't worry, it's not from watching Dr. House, it was just a very long day.)

(YES, I miss Thirteen a lot!)

Season seven is a bit like a prelude because it prepares us for a spectacular end to the season (and the whole show!). But the things House does in this season can no longer be summed up as "he's a great doctor, just unfortunately a jerk." Just the way he puts Masters through the wringer when it comes to Cuddy's mother is pretty intense, not to mention the fact that he tricked her with the coma patient. But that's just the tip of the iceberg; there are a lot of things on that "that's not okay at all" list.

Cuddy has now found out that he's back on Vicodin, broke up with him, and even though from a distance it looks like House is living it up, he's actually in free fall! Apparently, there are no limits anymore. Chase, Taub, and Masters are in his hotel room like Huey, Dewey, and Louie, waiting for him to look at X-rays while the prostitute is hiding under the covers next to him. You don't even want to imagine what drugs or Vicodin he's taken.

I want to highlight two things in particular:

I really like Masters' style of dressing! She's always smartly dressed, it rarely seems too overdone, yet she still stands out from the crowd. I don't know if this can be attributed to the actress or the team behind the camera, but they did a really good job here.

Episode 15 of season 7 is an absolutely wild ride! I love it when the team is just told to portray dreams about abandonment fears however they creatively feel like doing it. Then it turns out great and is really genius. Comedy, musical, zombies, and sitcom, a dream (pun not intended)!

Tomorrow (Sunday) I'll continue watching, I'll just finish the episode and then fall into bed. Then there's still the eighth season, and we've made it. This was a really smooth rewatch, and writing about it was really fun. But I also think that afterwards I'll watch a few episodes of other series for a bit instead of another 8-season behemoth like Dr. House; that really messes with your head!

Nononono waitttt what do you mean about Good Omens season 2?? Why didn't you like it?

I personally thought it was better than season 1 - better paced. There wasn't a single boring moment. And sure, the plot maybe had fewer stakes, but seeing as this was a bridge season between season 1 (the of Good Omens book) and hopefully season 3 (the book that never came out, “668” or something like that), I thought it was good. Warm & fuzzy.

I need to know your opinion now

As abashed as I am to have to respond to such enthusiasm with, well... the very opposite of enthusiasm, please at least know that I consider the truth the best thing I have to offer in general and in regard to that unfortunate (yet somehow still-untouchable?) mess the second season of Good Omens has proven itself to be in particular, so accept it as some sort of well-intended even if perhaps unwanted gift.

This is probably the most unpopular opinion one can have on Tumblr right now, so I'll go straight to the point: Gaiman managed to ruin Good Omens (perhaps he isn't able to write it by himself, perhaps he got carried away with fan service, who knows), once one of the most delightful, witty, engaging, profound books/shows existent, changing its register and raison d'être in order to turn it into, per great popular request, the same lame simple plotless cheesy cookie-cutter gay romance without rime and reason apparently every single piece of media is deforming itself into lately.

The dramatic loss of... artistic quality this show suffered is appalling and even more appalling is the fact I seem to be one of the very few on this green earth to have even noticed? Did I perhaps read too much in the show before? I don't think so, it was indeed a masterpiece. I saw many die-hard fans of the series beyond puzzled at this last season too, straining themselves to try and make sense of it with wild theories, justifying them with the simple fact that Neil Gaiman is a genius and surely this hot mess must mean something, right? I wasn't aware the world was mostly populated by hysterically besotted people hailing Neil Gaiman's alleged greatness from dawn til dusk without contextualized merit, and the discovery didn't particularly excite me, to be quite honest. I think a healthy amount of fairness in the critique of any artist should always be the norm, but I digress.

I'll try to keep it as brief and matter-of-factly as possible, especially since some time has passed and the fumes of my rage aren't as scorching or as precise as they used to be lol

In a word, this season was subpar. Not only did it lack that original witty, ineffable meaningfulness, that intrinsic and very human sense of wonder and protectiveness towards life and its profound sense the original show brimmed with, but even from the most basic literary point of view, it literally lacked a plot worthy of this name, a story, characters that felt complex and real instead of caricatures who tried and reenact themselves, and in general what should have been, quite simply, good writing.

More than Good Omens' long-awaited season 2, this felt more like a high-budget filler fanfiction created by someone who didn't know what they were doing with story and characters most of the time, but who sure as hell wanted to please the audience to disastrous lengths.

The very first thing that irked me beyond belief, and it literally started from minute one, was the immediate, more or less subtle, change in acting from both Michael and David. Michael stressed it way more, with, in my opinion, quite tragic results, thing that from the start immediately allowed me to guess where they were going with their (already established as extremely complex) relationship, entirely turning the vibe from sophisticated allegory of Divine Comedy kind of love (love for your enemy, love for your friend, love in all its form and in its entirety) to banal romantic comedy-level gay drama, downgrading what Crowley and Aziraphale shared (the subtle abysses of it!) into the most boring and obvious of soap operas, obviously forcing them to act out of character in order to compensate (was any flash-back meaningful to their character or the story? Was there a writing reason behind any of them beyond writing for the sake of filling screen-time?).

Some relationships deserve to be left alone, alone in their subtlety and ambiguousness or you'll inevitably ruin them. Not everyone must kiss on screen, no matter how much the audience screams and throws up for it. This little woke drama completely ruined and eclipsed everything else those two characters were for each other, turning them from cosmic and devastatingly loyal best friends to petty and dumb lovers that need two plot devices (the messy pointless and quite frankly offensive representation-wise lesbians from across the street they literally met five minutes prior) to tell them they actually have feeling for each other and should share them. After literal millennia of this relationship, relationship that has its own inner workings and reasons, we needed the plot-lesbians to subvert the order of things and spur Crowley into action, obviously obtaining disastrous and lame results? Are we witnessing the interaction of immortal beings or five-year-olds? The only way I can genuinely make sense of this dumbness is considering those two female "characters" (that feel anything but real people) no more than that, characters, golems, put there by Metatron via the power of the Book of Life (again, so many Chekhov's guns with no use whatsoever in this season) in order to separate Az and Crowley using the only thing that could succeed in doing it - an ill placed declaration of love.

But even this doesn't match the true être of what Good Omens originally was nor comes full circle with the ineffable mystery season 1 ended with. It genuinely feels like Gaiman changed the whole rhyme and reason of the story, vibes, meaning, register, just to meet the modern needs of a category that is sadly phagocytizes everything else in both life and fiction. And I find it a true pity - and a bore.

And even leaving aside this personal boredom of mine at a non-existent plot that consisted in 1) a big mystery that promised cosmic repercussions (season 1 ended with the after-nonapocalyptic world that was slightly changed just because two enemies had loved each other and life too much not to oppose god's plan - fact that was probably god's plan all along), mystery that was actually no mystery at all (two random, from the original story's perspective, previous minor characters in literally ten supernatural minutes fell in love and run away together) and that meant virtually nothing in the grand scheme of things, but serving as a plot device so that the other two minor new characters could intrude into the protagonists' relationship so they could finally have the excuse to jump literary genre and kiss & queer tragedy the story away 2) an endless series of symbols, facts, episodes and characters that constantly seemed to hint at something but that in reality resulted in nothing story-wise (also, the change of heart in God's personality, first the witty and almighty trickster for the greater good, now the divine bully??), even leaving all this aside, I'm mostly disappointed the quality of the writing plummeted so inesorabily one of my comfort show turned into the symbol of an artistic era I'm utterly distraught to have to witness - the era of crowd-pleasers and un-imagination.

As for this being a filler season, writing in such an unresolved way (basic and predictable plot, colourless characters, cliché romance, hours of happenings that don't mean a thing in the current story) is unacceptable and a failure, even if you are a famous writer. You cannot waste hours of the audience's time going nowhere shielded by the sole future promise of sense. Writing doesn't work that way, and I'm sincerely appalled to see people noticing it and deciding to excuse it with a "surely next season everything will look genius!". It doesn't work this way. The faults were too many, they can't possibly be all resolved next season. This product wasn't great, even if your faves kissed and your little fanfictions came true.

The sad thing is, Good Omens used to be a work of art, not the next consumeristic piece of fiction to satisfy woke needs.

#I don't want to sound harsh but this was a true let down #one of the many this year #art is dead #good omens #sofoulandfairaday #asks/replies #one and one thousand stories lis told

Made it through another weekend without drinking, I know 5 weeks doesn't seem like a lot but it's the longest I've gone in at least 14 years, the longest by far if you don't count one month in 2013. And there was nothing actually stopping me this weekend, my roommate was out of town coaching provincial all weekend and I had the place to myself and nothing to do. Closest I had to accountability was I told Tumblr I'm trying not to drink, and no one on Tumblr will know if I lie, but I'll know I'm lying, and then I won't be able to enjoy it. Which is pretty much why I'm posting this on Tumblr, using this website to intentionally ruin my own ability to enjoy stuff for another week because I don't trust my willpower otherwise.

I got through the weekend and didn't drink any alcohol. I organized my folder of comedy recordings, which was probably fine. I then got pretty deep into organizing and adding to my various folders of clips from comedy recordings, and I would say those collections are at this point pathologically organized. Like. It’s the sort of thing where I'd normally post screenshots but I'm not going to because if I showed anyone my Chocolate Milk Gang clip folders I'd be reported for being the guy from A Beautiful Mind (unfortunately without the genius element). But I've cut out a lot of comedy clips from various sources and organized them into many categories and I didn't drink any alcohol.

That Robins and James radio show really was the right choice. I didn't plan to try to stop drinking when I started listening to it, it's a coincidence that I picked something good for that. I've said a few times that it's helping and have also said "obvious I know that listening to people I don't know talk on the radio 8 years ago should not be what I rely on for something important like this, I have other things." But this weekend sucked and I am getting close to the point of saying "no, actually it's pretty much just that, I avoided picking up a drink this weekend by thinking if I'm drinking when John Robins releases Howl in a couple if months I'll hate myself too much to enjoy it, so don't do that, just listen to the nice people on the radio talk about how it is possible to hate everything and really like alcohol but still, like seven years after the point I'm at in the radio show, choose to give it up." Is this a sustainable source for motivation to not drink? It doesn't seem ideal but I guess we'll find out. I got way too deep into organizing comedy clips this weekend.

I know that what you're actually supposed to do is find real life things that are so good they make you not think about alcohol. I went to a comedy club night last week, watched five male comedians in a row tell jokes where every single one had at least a bit of material that ranged from mildly dicey to really fucked up on the sexism and racism fronts, then I had a panic attack due to being surrounded by so many people and left early. I don't want to try to go back to coaching until the season ends because mid-season is an awkward time to try to fit back in, and anyway, that place is hardly the liberal bubble that I seek. I did see an excellent concert last week but Garnet Rogers doesn't come to town every week. As far as distractions go, I think I might be left with the nice angry man on the radio and pathologically organized comedy collections.

I heard a recent episode where Elis said to John, pretty much out of the blue without much context, "You know, if you told me to jump off a cliff I think I'd do it." And I thought, yeah I see what he means, he does sort of have that effect on people. That abrasive personality that's held him back in showbusiness must be very abrasive, for him to not be more commercially successful despite a knack for saying stuff that you just want to listen to (I mean, not that he's doing commercially badly or anything, he's got a big successful tour and a Taskmaster spot, but it took a while to get there). It's a good thing that this parasocial power is, in my case, mainly used for reminding me "look, he loved drinking as much as this and also had, you know, the darkness of Robins but still quit, so I can do that too", rather than getting people to jump off cliffs.

Sing Bugs Insects ✨Invertebrates✨

Following my Sing bird post, @kickenkloberstan requested a look at the Sing bugs (I know slugs, snails, etc aren’t technically bugs but I’m not typing invertebrates twenty times so they’ll all be bugs today) and I thought this would be really interesting as they’re often ignored!

Sing only shows us a whopping three bugs in their films. A slug, a snail, and some spiders. I am not well-versed in these species so I cheated and used the Wiki. The snail (Ray) is a white grove snail:

The slug is unspecified. Maybe just garden variety:

And the spiders, it’s impossible for me to tell. I do not know spiders at all and I really hate real life ones so I’m not looking at photos for comparison. These guys are cute though:

The most interesting thing about the Sing bugs is that they are all basically just real life ones! None of them are anthropomorphised at all (beyond talking and dancing and singing anyway). They wear some accessory clothing like hats and bow ties but don’t feel the need to wear actual clothes. They are, surprisingly, the most animal-like of all the Sing animals. They share the most characteristics with their real life counterparts of all Sing animals. They are, however, absolutely huge compared to the real thing. I know some species of spiders and slugs/snails can get huge, but quick research tells me that white grove snails can reach an impressive… 2.5cm. Not big enough to engulf a microphone head. This is probably for the sake of aesthetic, once again, as having these animals be their “real” size wouldn’t look good on screen.

Another thing I noticed is in Sing 1 at the end of the auditions. The bison (Richard) who…. Farts… on his way out (top tier humour Illumination, thank you so much for this comedy genius /sarcasm), steps on Ray and we hear his shell crack. For a snail, this would be a death sentence as many of their organs are inside their shell. Ray seems ok though. So perhaps Sing snails don’t have their organs in there anymore? The big slimy part that people assume is a body is actually the foot on a snail.

Following the bird canon rules, here’s some bug canons:

🦋 Has a body that is literally just like a real bug’s, with no mammalian traits at all besides the intelligence

🦋 Does not wear regular clothes, just accessories

🦋 They still perform the functions of many bugs: the spiders can spin silk, the slugs produce mucus, etc

🦋 Unlike the birds, it appears the Sing bugs didn’t evolve teeth? This makes sense as birds did have teeth at one stage, while I don’t think bugs ever had teeth to begin with.

🦋 Are much larger than their real life counterparts, though still tiny in the Sing universe

🦋 Sing snails can survive damage to their shell, perhaps their organs are now in the foot?

What is most interesting to me is what this means about the ecosystem within Sing. Anytime you have anthropomorphic animals it leads to questions such as: How the hell does any kind of ecosystem thrive when there’s no animals fulfilling roles such as pollination, decomposers, etc. It’s easier to ignore with larger animals, but not insects. If a leaf falls off a tree in the Sing world, does it just stay on the ground immaculately? Because all the bugs are sapient and don’t feel like eating dead leaves?? Who’s pollinating all the plants? What if the worms, with their new intelligence, don’t want to crawl through dirt all day (which makes it more habitable for plants) ? The planet cannot survive without bugs doing their natural jobs, plain and simple. Which leads me to some theories, which I’d been discussing with @lemonisntreal :

1. The Sing world is completely artificial. Everything is maintained directly and intentionally by the animals. With every animal having human intelligence, there’s no longer any animals to instinctively fulfil natural roles. Imagine a world where no creature existed aside from humans: that is essentially the Sing world. What if the bees don’t want to pollinate because they want to be singers. The plants are real, but everything exists because the animals want/need it to. They’ve basically terraformed the Earth. They have to artificially clean the oceans because there’s no tiny fish or plankton doing it naturally. It gives me a headache to think about an animated film this deep 😂 To be honest Sing should’ve done what most anthro films do, and keep bugs and fish as non-sapient.

2. Animals that play important roles in nature, like bugs, are paid nicely to continue doing those jobs. So most bugs continue to do things like pollinate plants, break down waste, keep the soil healthy, etc, and are paid well to make sure they keep doing it. This would fit in nicely with why there’s so few bugs in Sing: most of them are happy doing their jobs!

3. Since all the animals evolved, the plants evolved alongside them. Plants do everything themselves now and no longer need animals to pollinate them or whatever. Maybe bacteria has evolved to replace the role of insects in things like decomposing?

Now I was going to do a joint post on Sing bugs and the Sing marine life, but this turned out way longer than expected so the fishies will get a separate post.

#two posts in one day!!! I have a lot of content lined up I’ve been on another crunch #if someone tells me ‘it’s just a movie’ I SWEAR #I’ll do nothing #BUT I’m trying to think about how this would work if the Sing world was real #I expect this one to get 3 notes because that’s how many people care about sing bugs:#sing 2 #sing headcanons #sing #no charas to tag :’(#sing movie #sing 2016 #sing 2021

Battle Nexus R US Part 2

"Well, Here we go"

"It's ok guys. We got this. As long as the Mad Dogs are together we can teamwork through anything." Raph says sporting a power stance pointing at the hologram of Big Mama.

She giggles, snapping her fingers each of us gets placed at different locations and is chained with one of our enemies having to fight one of Big Mama's Battle Nexus Champions.

Raph with Ghost Bear fighting Troll

Mikey with Meatsweats cooking for Amphisbaena

Leo and one of the Sando brothers trying to get the STATUE OF LIBERTY that's controlled by Sprite to laugh

Donnie and Hypno playing a chess game with Cortex and Donnie gets turned into the chess piece.

Me with Repo Mantis in his junkyard fighting a Spasmosaur. (If you're an OG TMNT fan give this a like)

"If any of you somehow win your battley-bings, come to my hotel and set your people free. Do be a good sport and put on a fantasmic show for us. My subscribers are paying me a fortune to watch you all suffer. Now on with 'Battle Nexus: New York'!" Big Mama says confidently

Raph and Ghost Bear are having trouble working together and they fall from the bridge they were on to the water below. All that was left was their masks which was very odd.

We all collectively gasp and shout "RAPH!"

Leo and the Sando brothers are busy bickering and fighting each other. Leo slips on a banana and it causes the Statue to chuckle.

"Oh, that's it. Physical comedy. Pain is always funny. Carl follow my lead." Leo says

"Never," Carl says defiantly

"Then hit me right in the old peepers with your pointy pinchers. I was already gonna do that before you even said it!" Carl shouts

Leo begins his painful comedy assault on Carl and I gotta admit it was pretty funny to watch. He successfully knocks Carl unconscious and gets the Sprite/Statue of Liberty to laugh.

Mikey and Meatsweats are cooking up a storm.

"Feed the monster before it eats us! Oh no, I'm out" Meatsweats says nervously.

"We need to work together and satisfy their appetite! Trust me! One satisfying dish is all we need to win this challenge!" Mikey says while expertly cooking until he forgets how to season the dish and asks for Meatsweat's help.

"A sprinkle of paprika should unleash the flavors," Meatsweats says while sprinkling some onto the fish.

"Genius" Mikey grunts and tosses the fish dish at the Amphisbaena they start to fight over it by biting each other one head eats the other until it disappears out of existence.

Hypno and Donnie are still playing their chess game but....Hypno hasn't made one single move and it looks like it's starting to get to Cortex.

"No, come on!" Cortex exclaims

"You've slain your king! You surrender! We are victorious, Hypno!" Donnie says excitedly.

"I am the king of checkers!" Hypno shouts

My eye twitches slightly and I facepalm. Getting back to my fight I sweat a bit and look around at what we could use to fight this horrible creature.

"How are we gonna stop this thing? Repo Mantis asks scared

It starts to try to hit us with its tentacles, and as we try to run out of its grasp we go in two different directions, the chain snaps us back into each other with a thud and the Spasmosaur knocks us to the back of the Repo junkyard.

I groan and dust myself off. "Right this will not do, we have to work together to dodge its attacks. Now you have to do exactly as I say when I say it. Ok?" I say determined

"Fine, only cuz I don't want that thing destroying my baby," Repo Mantis says

I roll my eyes and we charge towards it, I shout out commands on when to jump, dodge, and tumble. We evade its attacks but start getting tired, I rest up against the school bus. Then it hit me Donnie told me about the time they were looking for a piece of the armor artifact and found out that it was located in the junkyard and how Raph and Leo unleashed Mr Nubbins.

"That's it, do you have the key for the bus?" I ask quickly

"Of course I do, why-" Repo Mantis asks then it clicks

We get onto the bus and back it up while I distract the Spasmosaur by honking the horn. Soon out runs Mr. Nubbins and Repo Mantis hands me a cat toy which I take and ring the little bell that's attached to the toy. It piques the cats' interest and it starts to run towards us. I end up tying the toy to one of the tentacles of the Spasmosaur and we move out of the way. Mr. Nubbins starts attacking the monster attempting to get the toy. We jump onto Mr. Nubbins's back and hold on tight. Soon the Spasmosaur gets worn out and scratched up pretty badly, it knocks out in defeat. Repo Mantis and I celebrate as we get teleported to the front of Big Mama's hotel.

"Guys we made it!" Mikey says happily

We all hug and fall to the ground from the force of the hug. Donnie and I awkwardly let go and looked away from each other.

"Hello, victorious binglebeets!" Congratulations on defeating my champions. Or four of them, at least." Big Mama says

"Raph's Hibernator move," Mikey says Sadly

"We played your dum-dum game. Now give us your dum-dum orb so we can go back to our dum-dum lives. Wait that last part was right. Sorry from the top--we player your dum-dum--" he's cute if by Big Mama shooting a web onto his mouth

"Silence!" She demands and changes out of her glimmering spell

"The thing is I don't like how clever you've all been, so I'm altering the terms at the last second. I only visited your home to play my little game, but I rather like this place and think I'll be keeping it. New York City will be my new Battle Nexus arena and its people, my expendable contestants." She laughs evilly while holding the prison orb

"Ugh finally your evil monologue is over," I say annoyed

"Think again Big Mama, New York is our house, and we got you outnumbered six to one!" Leo says but I already turned around to see the villains scampering away.

"You four could never defeat me. This will be easy-weazy" She says

"Yeah see the thing is us five work together even when we're apart."

Leo explains that Raph will come and take her down with his signature move and we all say "Hibernator!"

Raph's red ninpo arms crash through the hotel walls, grab Big Mama, and perform his move flinging her inside. She lets go of the orb and it flies upward.

"Like a boss" Raph shouts

"Oh yeah!" I shout and we all rush forward to grab the orb while it's making its descent.

"I will have this city! Shadow Fiend" She shouts

Something falls from the sky and lands on the asphalt the landing causes a huge gust of wind to push us back.

"So after I faked my defeat and Ghostbear ditched me--I swam to the lair and grabbed your stuff."

Our weapons clang onto the floor, and we each grab ours, I look down at my metal fans and smile.

"Hello old friends," I open them and they make that sword coming out of a sheath sound

"Now let's show Big Mama why you don't mess with New York City" Raph points at Big Mama and says confidently

"You'll never get the orb from my champion. But I'll enjoy watching you try." She says

Just then purple tentacles emerge from the orb going in all directions breaking the orb and out fall Splinter, April, Cass, and Draxum.

"The people of New York are still in there" Splinter shouts while kicking through champion away and Mikey hits it with a bus.

"Grab the orb so I may release the people," Draxum says

Cass scrambles to grab it while Big Mama shoots a web grabbing onto it, Leo cuts to the web and April catches it, Draxum uses his tentacles to push Big Mama away and April tosses it to Draxum.

"Buy me some time!" Draxum says as the champion comes in for the attack.

The champion tries to punch him and misses thanks to Splinter belonging Draxum dodges ut. But the force of the punch causes mass destruction of the nearby buildings.

"Go, well cover you"

Each of us took turns attacking the champion.

"Cherry blossom slicer" I shout while using one of my ultimate moves which us pink colored sharp attacks that hit the champion.

But our attacks do nothing to hurt nor detour the champion. Big Mama orders it to follow Draxum into the hotel. It ends up hitting Draxum and sending him up several floors of the hotel. Draxum continues to unlock the orb aa the champion goes in for another hit Raphs nimpo appears with a punch of his own but assists with our weapons to make it more powerful.

"Hey ShadowFiend, you messed with the wrong family!" Raph growls as Mikey Kusari-fundo, Donnie Battle shells, and my Cherry Blossom Slicer.

"Mystic Hot Soup Hibernator" We all shout as the fist makes contact and sends the champion flying out through the wall.

"You think you won!" Big Mama says while panting

"Uh yea isn't it obvious it's over Big Mama!" Raph says

From the corner of my eye, I see Cass sneak off somewhere. Big Mama realizes that the ring is gone and Cass starts to laugh. I see the ring and I yell at her as tears fill my eyes.

"Cass no don't!"

But it's too late she puts the ring on and it's revealed that the champion is The Shredder.

"Go Shredder destroy your enemies" Cass shouts

"Blue, quickly make a portal" Splinter exclaims

Leo wasn't quick enough and Shredder charged us, I hit my head on a pillar and was knocked out for a brief moment.

"Y/N!" Donnie shouts and runs to me grabbing his bo and ready to attack.

Raoh rushes over and uses his body as a shield while it starts to stomp on Raph's shell. Splinter grabs Leo's sword and creates a portal. We all start to go through it and Donnie holds me in his arms tightly, I slowly come to and see Big Mama being pulled by her web toward to portal but she is stopped and the portal closes before she can go through.

"Clever plan. No one would ever look for us in this disgusting sewer hovel." Draxum says unamused

"Well you're free to go to the surface if the accommodations aren't up to par," I say weakly

"Sassy as ever" April giggles

*sigh* Donnie places me on a beanbag and checks my head, he bandages my head and wipes the blood.

"Home sweet home, baby!" Mikey exclaims

We come up with a plan to go into Splinter's memories to figure out how to defeat Shredder which involves us going inside Splinter's mind.

"Woo hoo, road trip," I say

"Oh no you're staying here and recovering," Donnie says putting his hands on my shoulders and looking at me worriedly

"I've been hit with worse, I'm fine..." I say nonchalantly

"Donnie is right, you shouldn't do anything strenuous, right? Recover and well be back" Raph says while giving me his snaggle tooth grin.

"Fine," I say reluctantly and get comfy on the beanbag

The boys sit on these symbols and Draxum puts a sand timer in the middle

"Is it safe?" April questions

"Yes and no. Mostly no. Memories don't like to be tampered with and they may find a way to...fight back." Draxum says the last part a little too slowly for my liking

"Okay, once we're in, we need to find Grandpa Sho. Leave no memory unturned." Donnie says

"What about the memories I want to keep private?" Splinter asks nervously

"Not my problem.Good luck!" Draxum says quickly and starts to process.

Before Donnie goes under we lock eyes and give each other awkward half-smiles. Mine says 'Get back safely' and he acknowledges it 'I will'.

They soon enter the memory world and Donnie starts to struggle. I stumble over to him and sit next to him. Putting a comforting hand over his. The subconscious of Splints is fighting them so Dracum moves them to another memory.

April eventually joins them when things start getting too intense and brings the boys back to their consciousness. Donnie sees my hand on his and I jump away a bit.

"S-sorry Dee" I giggle sheepishly

Raph tells us what he saw, a weapon that can help us, Draxum locates it and we grab onto each other and make ourselves into a chain to help Splints grab it. The vortex starts to pull them in, and I scramble up to grab Draxum and use all the strength to pull them back in. I see a flash of something terrible and we fall onto the ground in a heap.

Everyone shouts cheers of joy, Splints holds the weapon and I look up at them.

"Um, guys I think--" Before I can finish what I was about to say the weapon becomes a person...a woman she ends up passing out and falls hard onto the ground.

The hairs on the back of my neck and arms stand on edge.

"I don't like this, not one bit..." I say quietly as I walk over to the woman.

She regains consciousness and I help her to sit down.

Splinter gasps and says "Rest. You are safe. This is the home of Hamato Yoshi."

"Who?" Leo dumbly asks

"That is me, you dum-dum" Splints retorts

"Hamato Yoshi? I am Hamato Karai." Karai says

We end up finding out that she is his great-grandma times 13. She tells us the story of the origin of the Hamato Clan and how The Shredder is her father which we all are shocked at. Also, Splints didn't prepare the boys with this Ancient Ninpo.

"You haven't trained them?" Karai shouts

The people start to leak out of the orb, so April and Draxum go to fix it.

"Karai I have failed to prepare my sons for this moment. I humbly ask you to teach them how to defeat the Shredder." Splints says while bowing

"I will but first I must rest," Karai says weakly

"Everybody out! Except you!" Splints shout and point at me signaling for me to take her somewhere quiet.

"What? But we want to hang out with Gram Gram..." Leo says and they all get a swift karate chop to the head.

"No Gram-Gram needs her quiet" Splints shouts and apologizes

"It's alright, but I am confused as to why you are a rat and 4 turtles," She says

I guide her to the projector room and have her sit in Splint's comfy chair. Giving her a blanket and calming tea.

"Thank you, you remind me of someone...someone I lost so long ago" She says while looking at me sadly.

"I think I just have that face the people recognize," I say shyly and smile

"Hmm perhaps," Karai says while sipping her tea

I bow respectfully, I sit on the ground a distance from her and I start to meditate while she naps. Not even a few seconds later I sense that Donnie is near, I crack open one of my eyes a little, and seeing him get near I try to signal for Jim to let her rest but he ignores me.

"Ah ah ah, sneeze!" Donnie says quite loudly

I roll my eyes, uncross my legs, and fold my arms while I watch the scene unfold.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Did I wake you? Well now that you're up, may I interest you in a a full tea service?" Donnie says proudly while S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N zooms around

"What dark magic is this?" Karai questions

" Not magic. It's my tech." Donnie says while S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N pours a popping hot cup of tea.

"Oh brilliant," Karai says

"Yes! The approval of a parental figure I've so craved!" Donnie says while fangirling

Karai and I look at each other and giggle quietly. I turn to Donnie to scold him for waking her but before I can get the words out Leo falls from the ceiling and lands on Donnie.

"Hey, Gram-Gram needs her sleep. And to help her, I shall rear from my children's book, I Love Gram-Gram and Gram-Gram Loves Me." Leo says as he scrolls through his touchpad to find his lovely book.

They both start to fight and I walk over to Karai sitting on the arm of the chair. Then Raph adds himself to the mix.

"Hey, Gram-Gram, 'How can a big guy be so nimble', you ask?" Raph says while doing a handstand with one hand

I sigh loudly and groan as all three start to fight for her attention. Then I look to my left and see Mikey handover a painting he made for her. I smile at him and sigh happily.

"I think it captures our togetherness as a family," Mikey says while smiling

"Welcome to your crazy family Karai," I laugh sheepishly

"Boys, what are you doing? My apologies, Gram-Gram. I am so sorry I never taught my sons traditional Hamato discipline. And you, you're supposed to stop them from annoying her" Splints scolds me

"I...what...you...they...I tried my best ok!" I stammer out

"Yeah, it was way too easy to sneak in," Leo says as he chuckles he notices his brothers distance themselves from him slowly

"Where are you guys going?" He asks as my shadow looms over him, he turns around and starts to sweat. "Guys?"

"Wanna repeat that Nardo?" I say menacingly as I reach my hand out like Thor does with his hammer Mjölnir and my fans land into my hands and I start attacking him while he screams like a little Gurkha running about the room.

"From where I sit Yoshi, you have made the Clan proud," Karai says while looking at the family lovingly

"So you think we have a chance in defeating the Shredder?" Splinter asks

"Yes, with Hamato Ninpo, our family's ancient technique that connects us to past generations. It gave me the strength to defeat the Shredder all those years ago. As long as there are Hamato, there is hope." She whimpers the last bit and Splunts and I hold her up.

Once I touch her the hairs on my arms and the back of my head stand up and I get a sense of danger. I start looking around for the danger.

"Aqua what's wrong?" Donnie looks at me worriedly

"Something is coming....and fast..." I say with fear in my voice

"He has found me," Karai says beside me

We all stand in a defense circle with Donnie having me stand protectively behind him. In The Foot Clan bursts from the ceiling.

"Karai, I could sense you were here, Now I will consume your Hamato essence and become truly invincible. Crush anyone that gets in my way." Shredder says

"Attack," Papa Lui says

"Protect Gram-Gram" Raph orders

Leo moves Gram-Gram to another location, Mikey holds Shredder with his kusari-fundo but he breaks free from it and the Shockwave pushes us all into the walls around us.

I quickly get back to the fight and push Cass through a wall.

" Well good thing I know all your tricks sis or this would be a harder fight" Cass chuckles

"I've come a long way since we last fought" My eyes glow and I use my fans shouting. "Cherry Blossom Spindle!" Vines sprout from the ground blooming Cherry blossom and they wrap around her snuggly and trap her to the ground.

She struggles to get out and I back away a few feet looking at her sadly.

"I don't want to fight you"

I start to run towards the main battle with tears running down my face.

"You coward, fight me" she shouts after me

I see the skateboard room is in complete shambles with Karai tapping into her Ninpo. But she is defeated, Raph grabs me and we make our way out of the collapsing sewer.

"KARAI!" I yell tearfully

The boys and I hop into the tank. With great pain we had to leave Splinter behind...oh and Draxum but who cares about him? They give us enough to escape.

I hold Mikey back as he calls out for Splinter, holding him close to my chest and letting him cry onto me, looking over at Donnie seeing my exact emotion mirrored on his face, he hugs us tightly and we speed off to safety.

JUDGED TOO QUICKLY ー TOKYO REVENGERS (1)

summary: Y/n had a sleepover with toman, everything was going well until she heard them talking shit about her which turned out to be a misunderstanding (which gone wrong)

pairing: tokyo revengers x reader

warnings: cursing. blood. knife mention.

genre: angst. comedy (?).

Y/n: your name

N/n: Nickname

💌 ˖ ✶ parts! :: [ 1 𖥔 2 𖥔 3 ..]

Female!reader. Au. Light changes from anime and manga.

Having a sleepover with Toman at the Sano house hold? This got to be the most fun thing ever.

Well, that's what you actually thought. Hence seeing the boys smacking the shit out of each other, gossiping about other gangs or girls.

You just deadpanned at the fuss the members were making while trying your best to swallow the cakes and snacks Emma and Hina were stuffing in your mouth for the past two hours.

You were sure Baji twisted atleast one bone in his body while trying to impress you with his weird ass backflips. Pah-chin and Peh-yan were in the guest bathroom puking their organs out for accidentally eating some biscuits without checking it's expiration date which turned out to be 2 years ago.

Giving a quick glance to your watch, Damn. It was 3:21 AM, how in the world can they have so much energy at such time.

"Oh wait let me get a knife so I'll open this one up n/n," Emma said with a pretty blush dusting her cheeks. "You already did so much for me, I wouldn't wish to tire you, I'll go get it for you." You said holding Emma's wrist and pulling her back gently as if she was made of glass. Emma's face turned red and Hina just huffed and pouted in pure jealousy.

You really were just taking the opportunity to escape the girls' clinging for atleast a minute.

"Emma don't you dare steal my y/n!" Mikey spat and glared at his baby sister.

"YOUR y/n?!" Baji jumped on him and pulled him back to the chaotic fight that he started.

With that you stood up to get the knife yourself, stubbornly ignoring the blonde girl's protests.

Fetching the knife from the kitchen counter you made your way back to Mikey's room where everyone was.

Each step brought you a weird uncomfortable feeling in the pit of your stomach, since you don't recall everyone suddenly being this quiet before you left.

Shaking your head, you just shrugged the weird feeling off and decided not to start over thinking about such things. As you got closer to the door the hushed voices were now clear as daylight and enough for you to hear. It was strange how the group was being secretive.

Curiosity ran over your veins so you just leaned against the wall eavesdropping. "I..I love her?! Seriously, what? I'd rather die!" Mikey uttered in disbelief and mockery before he bursted out in laughter along with the others joining him soon after.

"Yeah...how could mikey love such...a thing, let along even tolerate her presence around him." Added Mitsuya, his tone held so much disappointment.

You furrowed your eyebrows, face crunched up in confusion, "Who're they talking about.."

Ignoring the painful pang in your chest you continued listening to their conversation, refusing the possibility of them trash-talking behind your back.

"For real, I'm only using her for good grades, grandpa would keep nagging me if I don't get a good score by the end of this semester..Plus she's so weird? How in the world can someone score a 100 on all tests when she always sleeps in class and barely pays any attention to the lesson, let alone the fact that she doesn't even attend much." piped Emma

You've heard enough. Their conversation just proved you right as much as you were hoping for the opposite, Emma always sat next to you in classes you shared and always fights with Hina to switch seats with you. After all, who other than you was a literal genius and smart enough to get the best scores in tests and only comes to school in exams period and to flirt with her fan girls in school.

"The way she tries to fit in and join our gang is so embarrassing, had to restrain myself from stabbing my ears so I won't have to listen to her bullshit." Smiley laughed out.

"Please, i'd rather perish than have people say things like this about me." Souya muttered, sighing heavily.

You had hope that this was just a misunderstanding, or perhaps they were talking about someone else, right? But the way they described the girl they were bashing only indicates that you were the center of mockery and insults.

"Such a whore, pfft."

You started to wonder for how long you've been nothing but a nuisance to them and for how long they used you for their own needs.

"Talk about not having any self-respect, she probably bribed the teacher to give her good grades.." Draken added

But weren't you the only one who got brutally injured when you stood up and protected Draken to the very end when Kiyomasa was ready to kill him?

"Or maybe she went around whoring herself out to them.." Takemichi snickered

Wait, weren't you the one who always was ready to beat the shit out of anyone who dared to bully Takemichi?

The girls, How dare they.

Weren't you the only one found almost gouging a girl's eyes out with scissors and got suspended for a month when she dared to slap Emma and call Hina a bitch?

All of the sadness and bitterness you were feeling soon turn into a fit of anger. Face contorted with pure rage.

You clenched your jaw as your grip tightened on the sharp object you were holding. Your rage and anger got the best of you. Mind already running with many thoughts. Failing to notice the knife that had cut through your palm that was slowly seeping with blood and painting the wooden floor a crimson red.

You didn't notice any of that, not until pain coursed through your veins, you dropped the knife in panic and let out a sharp hiss which alerted the group.

Mikey rushed over to where the sound came from only to find you crouching down on a bloodstained floor with your injured hand fully exposed to him.

The boy lets out a gasp as he rushed to your side. "Oh god, y/n?! What happened, are you okay?!" Manjirou frantically asks, his hands found their way around your wrist, panic washing over him when he saw how damaged your hand was.

"Huh what's going o- Y/N?!" Hina shouted out, hands flying to cover her mouth, voice wobbly at the sight of your immobile body.

Soon enough everyone was surrounding you, asking questions that for sure weren't gonna get answered any soon.

They didn't deserve it.

"God! Y/n just say somethi-" Mikey was interrupted by a harsh slap to the hand that was holding your wrist.

You abruptly stood up, your silent has got you some worried glances from the others.

God. What the fuck was wrong with you, why would you get upset over suchーthings. You never get enough do you. What more do you want? You got all the guys roaming over you, worried and sick to their stomachs. Hell, Emma and Hina even shed tears.

Right. You didn't want their pity. You don't need it.

Mindlessly pushing mikey's off of you causing his back to come in contact with the hard wooden floor, you wiped the blood on your jacket and went over to where you put your stuff.

Gathering your belongings you pushed through the worried crowd and made your way over to the door.

With a promise to never see them again.
