#i don’t hate the movie or think it’s garbage or people who like it are dumb etc etc etc
Text
listen the movie introduces an annoying leftie teenager as a ridiculous strawman for the audience to resent, has her make all the valid criticisms of the franchise mattel can still slightly defend, and then makes barbie cry about it. why do you think it did that. why do you think that character existed. why do you think she quietly faded into a compliant, brand-supportive happy face in a pink dress
#barbie spoilers#barbie#i don’t hate the movie or think it’s garbage or people who like it are dumb etc etc etc#i think fun lighthearted feminist media is important and it can’t all be the handmaid’s tale#but still. i want to voice at least some of my criticisms#if only to make other people who felt very unsatisfied by the film’s messaging feel less isolated#barbie critical

Idk if I ever said this out loud, but I’m from Maryland (well the DMV) and a chunk of my childhood was spent in the suburbs of Maryland. I remember seeing the cicadas episode of COTC for the first time and it felt like I was going back in time to when I was a kid.
Although my childhood was very different from a lot of kids in the show, I think it’s one of the few shows where I feel like I truly see myself in it. Especially as a black girl and I know that if I was still a kid I would still love it as much as I do now.
So yea…seeing this Warner Bros. situation really fuckin hurts to see.
Like idk how else to put it. It’s just heartbreaking. I hate seeing people lose their jobs, their shows, their fuckin work, for some dudes at the top to make a quick buck. It absolutely enrages me and it’s something I’ve ranted and cried about to my sister. And I’ve seen many people around my age and younger say that they might step away from the animation industry for something more stable. And sometimes I wonder myself if I’m going the right path, and if pursuing the animation industry is worth the risk. And y’know what…I do think it’s worth the risk. Art and more specifically animation is quite frankly the love of my life. It’s helped me get through life in so many ways and I just don’t know where the hell I’d be if I didn’t have it. There’s so much love put into these shows and shorts and movies. From writing to concepts and characters, to sound design and effects, like I love it all, and it’s my dream to be a part of it all, no matter how small the role is. My sister told me that moments like this (where corporations try to fuck over craftsmen and they care more about a product than people) never end well for those mfs, especially in art, because artist won’t take that shit sitting down. And I’d like to think she’s right. That we won’t take this shit sitting down, that whether your a causal viewer or someone who wants to make a career in animation, we’re gonna be like “man fuck this shit you gonna respect me” and actually square up with these companies that think they can just throw ppl away and fuck people over. Animation isn’t nothing, creators aren’t nothing. I know it’s a hard fight to go up against but I don’t think it’s impossible to fight, and it’s something I wanna help fight in. I think the animation industry and the workers involved are worth fighting for and I know I’m definitely not alone in this thought.
I don’t know of any of this makin any sense but honestly I just wanted to speak from the heart.
If you’re reading this and you worked on Craig of the Creek or were a part of the creative teams under Warner Bros. or Netflix or whichever big animation studio (miraculously lol but you never know whos reading i guess) and you were laid off, from the bottom of my fuckin heart, thank you and I’m sorry. Y’all put so much hard work and creativity and love and dedication into the shows you worked on and I have so much respect for y’all for doin what you do. Y’all aren’t nothing, y’all aren’t garbage to be tossed away and you shouldn’t be treated as such. And I know y’all have a big and bright future ahead.
Keep supporting animation
Keep watching and loving animation
Keep fighting for animation
#my drawings#artist on tumblr#craig of the creek#animation#warner discovery#warner bros#cartoon network#adult swim#fuck that ceo man#actual piece of shit#I was actually trying not to cry when I typed this out#I get very emotional about this#I don’t do these long blurbs of thought often#but I just needed to get this off my chest#i love yall and i love animation

So, I realized only after watching the Todd In The Shadows video AND the hbomberguy video that I, too, have caught James Somerton just making shit up.
I’m not going to cite actual video titles because he changes them all the time anyway so why bother, but he has one that’s about Angels in America and Rent. This is my jam, I’m a theater gay, so I watched them - and immediately felt like the main thesis would fail an English 101 class. The thesis was “people have the misperception that Rent was made before Angels in America, and why is that?” which is not a thing that people believe, actually. At least, not people who know how google works and can just look up release dates. I found myself thinking that maybe he and some friends were surprised at this, and he decided it was a widely held misperception. But I kept watching the video, and when talking about how popular Rent was when it premiered on Broadway, he said that it was taboo to even mention AIDS at the time.
That is completely untrue. I was an adult in 1996 when Rent was released on Broadway, and AIDS was no longer a taboo subject in the US. There is plenty of data out there to support this, but I think it’s particularly compelling that in 1993, the movie Philadelphia, about a man suing his employers for firing him upon learning that he has HIV, was an enormous box office hit. It won Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen both Oscars, for Best Actor and Best Original Song. The Oscars aren’t very daring, perhaps you’ve heard. They aren’t big on giving out awards for things that everyone is terrified to talk about.
In another video that is cited by Todd in the Shadows, I realized that I had ALSO caught James making shit up in that one. When I watched the video for Red, White, and Royal Blue, James said that all these straight women wanted gay romance without sex and I laughed and said “they most definitely do not want that”, because I’m a fan girl and I’ve seen AO3. No research needed to debunk that, most if not all women who knowingly consume gay romance absolutely want there to be some fucking. The only person who would complain about that would be some exceptionally clueless homophobe who accidentally stumbled into this movie.
Both of those things, when I saw them, made me shake my head and say “that’s just not true.” I even commented on the Rent video.
What I did not do is think hard about what exactly is going on here. My opinion of Somerton went down with each of those discoveries, but it wasn’t very high to begin with; I never have liked his presentation style, because of how often he talks down to the people he’s discussing or to his audience. But frankly, there’s a lot of content out there that plays free and loose with the facts or starts with a bad premise (“people have this misperception” with no evidence of that isn’t far off from “Marvel fans on twitter hate this movie!” followed by only 5 tweets cited in the article). I just accept that people lie on the internet, I didn’t expect better. I didn’t stop to consider that gays really should do better, particularly we should not lie to one another about gay culture and history, and ESPECIALLY not when claiming to be doing what we do for the purpose of uplifting gays. I didn’t google to see if there were other issues with him, because if I had I would have learned about him getting into it with Jessie Gender and wouldn’t have given him a view ever again.
We’ve reached such a garbage state that I overlooked that. Seeing everything he’s done all lined up in these two videos had a real impact on me. Todd is absolutely right that it’s abominable to add to all the misinformation in the world, and hbomberguy is right that it’s particularly egregious for James to rob from gay writers who don’t have the funds and attention that James does. But it’s especially bad to just make shit up about gay history and the current state of gay acceptance, particularly when James constantly had the perspective that it’s always bad and gay men always have it the worst. Most likely the “everyone hates gays like me especially” was a calculated choice to create an attitude of persecution within his fandom so that they would accuse anyone calling him out of homophobia. But misinformation about acceptance is ALSO harmful to our community. It’s harmful to go around believing that people are out to get you when they aren’t. The cost of damaged mental health is ALSO important.
And he coldly exploited that because there’s a stupid fucking app that is tailor made for grifters to make cash hand over fist by confirming their audience’s worst fears and creating new anxieties in them. It’s absolutely ghoulish.

Bad Boy/Good Girl ~ *Keisuke Baji*
Summary: Everyone assumes Keisuke is a bad boy, with his motorcycle and leather jacket. But little do they know, it's the opposite in your relationship...
Pairing: Keisuke Baji X G/N!Reader
Genre: Fluffy Oneshot
Word Count: 1261
Warning: N/A
Masterlist
A/N: This is actually garbage.
The unmistakable roar of a motorcycle could be heard throughout the campus parking lot. However everyone knew exactly who it was without having to look. Even if they did have to look to see who was here, there was no mistaking that signature black leather jacket, slicked back black hair and captivating eyes that could make any girl swoon. But Keisuke didn’t want to make just any girl swoon. He only had eyes on one girl in particular.
After entering the campus parking lot, he perched on his bike, watching with mild curiosity at the people coming in and out of the building before him. He was currently waiting for a certain person to leave said building. Of course, no one around here knew that. This was the first time he was ever seen on the university campus, much less the Communications Department building, so everyone who was meandering about automatically assumed he was up to no good.
The reason for his visit to this university came soon enough, with a scowl on her face as she marched over to him. Immediately, Keisuke perked up at the sight of her, standing up quickly as the pleasant look on his face turned into a frown. She didn’t say anything, just leaned her head against his chest and sighed dramatically.
“What’s wrong?” He mumbled, his deep voice reverberating against the top of her head. In her position, she couldn’t see the light blush on his cheeks. He didn’t really like PDA as it usually left him flustered, but he didn’t have the heart to tell her to get off of him.
“I hate tests.”
“Did you get your final score back already?” Her audible wince told him all that he needed to know about how it went. He instantly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a warm embrace. Yeah, so much for Keisuke not liking PDA. “It’s okay, baby. I'm sure you did your best! And I know if I was taking that class, you would've scored higher than me!”
“No, it’s not okay, but it's whatever.” She sighed, standing up straighter. “I suppose I just wasn’t meant to have a good life.”
It was his turn to scowl at her words, holding her at an arm’s length away so that he could scold her properly. “Don’t say that! You have me, you know! Am I really that bad that you think your life isn't good just because I'm in it?”
She burst out laughing at his reaction before lightly punching him in the shoulder. “It was just a joke, Kei, baby! Man, you should have seen the look on your face! You looked so terrified! I know I shouldn’t laugh but you’re so funny, baby! Seriously! I’m going to die, you’re so funny!”
“I didn’t think it was all that funny, babe.” Keisuke grumbled, looking away from her and trying not to get too upset with her laughter.
Pressing a soft kiss to his cheek, she giggled at his dark blush. “Don’t look so glum, Kei. It’s Friday and you know what that means. It’s the weekend and you promised to take me to the movies this weekend! So let’s get going! I don’t want to miss anything!”
He nodded. “You’re right, I did promise you. But I don’t know if I want to take you anymore.”
She started to pout. “Why not?”
“Because you were making fun of me!” Keisuke whined with a teasing smile.
Chuckling, she pressed a couple more kisses to his cheeks. “I’m sorry, Kei, baby. I didn’t mean to laugh so hard at you. You know I love you right?”
“Yeah, I know.” He mumbled before clearing his throat, trying to get rid of his embarrassment. “Alright, I guess we can go now."
She was about to climb onto his motorcycle when he lifted up his helmet to her, making her groan. “Aww, c’mon! Do I have to? I trust you to be a safe driver!”
“Y/n, I’m just trying to protect you, like a good boyfriend. I don’t want you getting hurt! You’re too special to me.”
Scrunching up her nose, she replied. “You’re too protective of me, Kei! And you're so damn cheesy! It’s almost sickening how cute you are. And you’re always saying you don’t like being cute when you’re the epitome of adorable!”
Keisuke blushed darker before muttering, “Please, everyone knows you’re the cute one in the relationship. I’m the big, scary, bad boy. You’ve heard what people have said about me. I’m always up to no good and all of that.”
“Oh, a bad boy! Is that what you are?” She loudly laughed at his words. “Says the man who always makes me wear a helmet when we go riding on his bike because he’s afraid of me getting hurt when we both know I won’t. Says the man who always calls me his precious baby. Says the man who bought me this sweater because he was afraid I’d get too cold this fall and didn’t want me to get sick!”
“But,” Keisuke attempted to argue with her, “I thought you liked being called my precious baby? Also you look really pretty in that color and I really don’t want you to get sick! Then I have to take care of you and we both know you shouldn’t be missing any more classes than you already do.”
She sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. “You know, I could always return this sweater and get a different boyfriend, one who understands me better.”
Pouting some more, Keisuke sniffed, not looking at you. “Y/n, don’t make me sad.”
“I was just kidding again.” She teased, patting his cheek gently before letting her hand trail down his neck and rubbing his arm. She bit her lip as her imagination went wild. “You know, if you’re such a “bad boy”, I say you get some more tattoos to prove it. A sleeve would look really nice. I could even help you pick some out and I have a cousin who can do them for a reduced charge.”
He rolled his eyes with a scoff. “We’re not having this conversation again, babe.”
Leaning in, she whispered seductively in his ear, “But it would be super hot.”
“Y/n!” Keisuke squeaked, his breath hitching in his throat.
Laughing at his bright red blush, she climbed onto his bike. “C’mon! Let’s go! The movie I want to see starts in fifteen minutes and I don’t want to miss it!”
He held up the helmet again, before saying, “Helmet on or we’re not going anywhere.”
She took it begrudgingly, grumbling under her breath. As she snapped it into place, she mumbled. “You’re lucky I look good in this.”
“You always look adorable, my precious baby.” Keisuke cooed with a smirk before getting on his bike as well. He felt his heart flutter when she wrapped her arms around him. He quickly started it up and revved the engine because he knew how much she liked it.
Giggling, she shouted over the engine, “Floor it, Kei, baby! I love the feeling of the wind through my hair, even if it is covered by this ridiculous helmet.”
“No way. I don’t want you falling off or getting hurt, babe.”
With a smirk, she leaned in closer, her lips brushing his ear again, making him shiver. “I guess I’ll just have to hold on to you tighter.”
Right before they took off, he muttered, “And they say I’m the bad boy. Leave it to me to fall for a bad girl.”

movies I think every demigod loves
Focusing on CHB for now but we’ll get to the Romans eventually
These nerds all know the whole entire soundtrack for every single one with the choreo and everything
Massive viewing parties in the winter in random cabins that definitely can’t hold everybody and the amphitheater in the summer with a projector
Hecate campers have enchanted a fuck ton of those old plastic popcorn containers with the same magic as the dishes in the pavilion— every kind of popcorn, the perfect amount of butter, kettle corn, for some reason a blue one that apparently tastes like cotton candy (or so Percy says; no one else has dared to try it)
Sharing endless amounts of blankets and pillows
Everyone usually passes out towards the end of the night, resulting in the hugest bed nest known to man full of shreepy demigods
Literally every streaming service ever plus premium Hephaestus channels
Anyways onto the movies
We’re starting with Mamma Mia
Because let’s be honest— a big pretty Greek island with a ton of hot people and fabulous music?? Yeah they’re into it
Who doesn’t love Abba?
That fun little “WEEE’RE SOPHIE ALI LISA WE’RE THE GREATEST BESTEST MATES, I’M TALL— I’M TOUGH— I’M TINY— AND WE’RE GONNA ROCK THIS PLACE!!” is such a vibe
Everyone gets into groups of three just to sing it with each other, including
Percy as Tall, Annabeth as Tough, and Grover as Tiny
Jason as Tall, Piper as Tough, and Leo as Tiny
Connor and Will even convinced Nico to be the Tiny to their Tough and Tall once
Anyways everybody screaming the lyrics and dancing around, swinging each other in chaotic circles until they collapse laughing
By FAR the loudest they ever get is Dancing Queen— Chiron says it’s something to rival their battle cry and Dionysus pretends to be annoyed by it, but he’s always caught humming it to himself the next morning
”Well what do you suggest we do with three men?” “Well now that takes me back.” WHEN I TELL YOU EVERYBODY SCREAMS
Couples singing Honey Honey and Lay All Your Love On Me suuuper dramatically at each other
They’ve turned it into a challenge: how long can you two go, mercilessly flirting and teasing, before either of you break and end up making out? (The answer is not very long)
Splitting into two groups (mainly girls v boys but really it doesn’t matter) to scream Voulez-Vous at each other
It’s a competition
After the end of the movie, everyone goes and jumps into the lake in their clothes— this massive, shouting, laughing mass of magical teenagers booking it across camp just to go flying off the docks into the water
Moving on to another movie
You c a n n o t tell me they wouldn’t love Disney’s Hercules
I mean they hate it, obviously, but like. A Disney movie about them. What!!
Especially the littles
The littles looove this fucking movie you don’t even understand
They sit eagerly waiting to see the garbage caricatures of their parents onscreen, collapsing on each other in giggles when they do
The older kids still get a kick out of it, but Connor sulks in Malcolm’s lap anytime his dad is on, hiding his face in his chest and refusing to look
(“Mal, he looks so dumb.”
”Sweetheart—“
”SO STUPID.”
”You’re so dramatic—“
”LOOK AT HIM.”)
They make Chiron sing One Last Hope every damn time
Funny thing is, the projector they have now is not the first one. There was one before, which mysteriously went up in purple flames the first time Mr. D watched with them… coincidentally at the exact moment Disney Dionysus popped up on screen in all his drunken fuscia glory
Poor Nico di Angelo wants to say no to watching it every time, but his favorite of Will’s little siblings, Lilac, begs him to because it’s her favorite Disney movie
So there he is next to Will, Lilac watching eagerly from his lap, Nico bonking his head on Will’s shoulder every time the TERRIBLE interpretation of his dad is on
Will laughs at him
Nico pouts and says he’s mean and threatens to shadow travel Lilac to the nearest candy store and get her whatever she wants just to hand her back to him for the night with a raging sugar rush
When the 7 dress up as the Avengers for Halloween one year, it’s added to the rotation.
Percy was Black Widow
Leo was Spider-Man
Jason was Captain America
Piper was Iron Man
Annabeth was Thor
Hazel was Black Panther
Frank was the Hulk
Nobody was prepared for the level of hotness that they brought to the table, but the Marvel fanatics were definitely prepared to start watching the movies
Eventually it devolves into a big war over who the best character is
The smash or pass is getting out of hand guys
lmk if you think of any more I’d love to write them
#Marvel#mamma mia#disney hercules#riordanverse#percy jackson#leo valdez#jason grace#piper mclean#annabeth chase#frank zhang#hazel levesque#Nico di Angelo#will solace#malcolm pace#connor stoll#solangelo#malconnor

Valentine day special
Hazbin hotel x reader
Oneshot / fluff
⁎⁺˳ ✧༚ ˎˊ˗ ♡ ˗ˏˋയ ✩
Today is the holiday most people love it some hate it or some just don’t care for it plain and simple. Hell you didn’t even think you were going to get anything this holiday.
You were used to wallowing into romance movies and chocolate by yourself but turns out fate had other plans for you, pleasantly surprising plans.
You heard a knock on a door “(y/n) it’s me Charlie I wanted to let you know that you got a package.” This made you raise your brow “I didn’t buy anything.” You got up and opened the door to see Charlie holding your package for you.
“Are you sure it has this address and it says for (y/n).” She then gasped “maybe it’s a secret admirer!” She smiled which made you laughed at the thought “Me getting a valentine?! Ha no way, as to be some prank.” “Who would do that?” Charlie questioned the only demons you could think who would do this is alastor or Angel to fuck around with you.
“I have two demons in mind.” She then shrugged her shoulders “oh but speaking of valentines gifts, this is yours.” She handed you a little heart box that filled with chocolate no doubt “thanks Charlie.” Smiled back “it’s from me and vaggie, we are heading out for a romantic dinner non of you wait up on us.” You nodded “have a good time you two.” “Thanks (y/n) have a great valentine day as well.”
She walked away then you said to yourself “as if I could get a nice one, most of them are mundane for me.” “Wow that sucks.” This made you jump to see Angel dust “Angel you gotta warn a demon when you do that.” This only made him laugh “but it’s funny as hell and besides, what you got there hun.” Huh, ‘hun’ that’s new “I’m not sure I think someone’s messing with me, it’s not you Is it?”
“Nope.” hmmm “are you lying?” This confused him “why the fuck would I need to lie about that?” Actually that’s a good point “fair, alright let’s find out I guess.” You knew he wanted to see so you let the door open knowing he let himself in.
“Hmm gotta clean in here.” You rolled your eyes “I’ll do it later not like anyone else is coming here or Niffty does it.” You opened the box to see a Vox tech item? “Voxtech?” This surprised him as well “weird it’s a Valentine’s Day special one.” That’s true the tech was pink, red and hints of blue on them I instead of the usual black and blue.
Then you noticed that there is a love potion a collaboration between Valentino and Velvette, Angel seemed to notice two and got a angry look on his face “I can’t believe these motherfuckers.” he growled out.
“What do you mean?” You asked he huffed out “just don’t go near them ok?” You nodded your head immediately you’re not gonna question Angel he would know more than anyone how these guys work. “Wait does that- just then alastor interrupted you two by knocking on the open door.
“I know open but I- he stopped himself when he saw the Vox tech in the box “darling I didn’t take you for having poor taste in entertainment.” This made you laugh “naw someone gifted this to me, I thought it was you or Angel but YOU buying Vox tech is impossible even if it is to mess with someone, also the love potion.
Just then alastor halted at the box then he snapped his fingers and the box was gone you assumed he threw it in the garbage “here’s a REAL valentines gift.” Alastor boasted as he brought out flowers and a Heart shaped box but instead of chocolate you saw it was meat a giant meant shaped like a heart.
“Wow thanks alastor I’m surprised you got anyone anything but, did you get that from the cannibal colony?” One thing you knew about yourself is that you’re not a cannibal but alastor was a different story “why yes it is this one meat was a sinner named frank.” This both made you and Angel dust give him a wtf look.
“Um I appreciate the flowers but I think you’ll enjoy the meat more then a I do.” He seems to remember that I’m not a cannibal “right I forgot you don’t enjoy demon meat I’ll give you something else then.” He snapped his fingers again and instead there is a mug with a cheesy valentine dad joke.
“That’s sweet thanks.” You took the flower and mug.” He smiled wider “then Angel interrupted yeah, yeah, here’s your thing hun.” He handed you a pink mouth gag and a pink whip “I… what.” He smirked “well come on you gotta admit it’s perfect for this holiday.” He gave a wink, You continued to look confused while alastor look disgusted.
“Um thank you Angel.” You smiled nervously you put both of their valentines gifts away. “Yep and happy valentine times day.” He smiled and looked back at his phone walking away “happy v-day as well Angel.” “Happy Valentine’s Day my dear.” Spoke alastor “you as well alastor.” You smiled as he left to do whatever he does in his spare time.
You were surprised that anyone thought to get you anything especially alastor what was his end game and you couldn’t but your finger around why Vox, Valentino and velvet would sent you anything never had a conversation with them.
You went out of your room and went into the kitchen planning to get a snack. Maybe some cookies you saw in a jar but before you could grab the treat you felt someone poke your shoulder. You looked over to see sir pentious seeming to be nervous.
“I I umm g… just take it! goodbye!” He slithers away in a hurry “wait sir pentious?!” You looked to see a red box with a black bow “again? How?” You opened to see a projector “wow this is the best one actually, too bad I probably won’t be able to thank him properly.” You looked to see a card with it as well inside, you saw it was a poem painfully romantic one.
“Sir pentious has a thing for me?!” You questioned yourself “wow I what am I gonna- just then a text from your phone interrupted you. You looked to see you got invited to a group chat called 3V, you immediately knew who it was it’s not a hard guess.
You joined just to see why they sent that stuff Velvette:[did you like your gift cutie?] You:[why did you guys give me those?] Val:[Why not baby? Your too hot to not be spoiled] Vox:[exactly, but hoe you loving your new tech?] You:[tbh I firing get to try any of your guys stuff alastor threw them out] Vox:[fucking knew that radioshit would do that know worry I’ll get you another] Val:[no worry baby I’ll get you sex toys this time you’ll able to do more with that] You:[no worry I’ll be fine without those stuff got a working phone already and I don’t want that sex stuff to be honest] Velvette:[at least can I get a trending outfit for you?] You:[alright that seems pretty good thx and happy Valentine’s Day<3]
They also texted you happy Valentine’s Day and you went back to getting your cookie you carried your gift and cookie to the bar, to talk to husk. “Husk there you are, how are you?” He looked towards you “meh as usual.” “Yeah that’s how I felt when I woke up until everyone started to give me gifts, which is weird.”
He looked to see the box you’re holding “guess so but speaking of Valentine’s Day gifts here ya go.” He handed you a gift too?! You took the bag to see it was a favorite color wine glass “wow husk this is nice, you going soft on me?” He glared at you “no just doing what you’re supposed to do for the holiday or whatever.” He blushed looking away “yeah sure.” You smirked.
“I feel like a jerk tho I got nobody anything but everyone got me something.” You stated he shrugged his shoulders “it’s fine what I really want is alone time.” He replied with very little card but your own words gave you an idea.
“I’ll be right back!” You ran back to your room got your wallet, phone and keys and left before husk can say anything back.
3 hours later
You thankfully found gifts for everyone that was in my our budget as well felt like a miracle except for the 3Vs you’re pretty sure they got everything they need, especially Val your not even gonna try for that guy.
You brought each of the gifts to everyone, they all loved it, funny a holiday you never cared for became the same holiday that made you realize how important you are to everyone and how important they are too you as well.
Happy Valentine’s Day <3

Nimona Starters !
Taken from the Netflix movie, Nimona! Some of these have already been edited. You can change them however you see fit! There may be some light spoilers for the movie!
“If you want a happily ever after, you can never let your guard down, because the monsters are always out there.”
“I’m not brooding. I’m just— I’m thinking. This is my thinking face.”
“Wait, what do you mean? You think I’m their favorite?”
“Some of us don’t get the happily ever after we’re looking for…”
“The garbage and the smell of sadness really pull the whole thing together.”
“This one. This guy looks extremely punchable.”
“What? Are you disappointed that I’m not a murderer?”
“They only see you one way, no matter how hard you try.”
“The “old something, something, something, we win.” Terrible plan.”
“Did you see the way they looked at me?”
“Evil Larry. That’s a great villain name! You should totally change your name-“
“I think what you’re trying to say is, “Thanks for saving my life.” Three times, if you’re keeping score.”
“Where’s the drama? The screams of terror?”
“We’re villains. Embrace it!”
“Are you kidding? Does it even matter? It but me!”
“I mean, easier if you looked human.”
“Oh, no…. Let me go ahead and pass this problem onto someone else.”
“I hate to say it, but you make a pretty good bad guy.”
“So nice to hear you guys bonding. Ah, it’s such a shame I have to go. Let me go.”
“Who would protect (Name)?”
“(Name) set me up. They killed (Name).”
“Oh, hey buddy. I’m sorry for kidnapping you.”
“Arm chopping is not a love language!”
“Okay, fine. But when things go south, I’m breaking stuff.”
“It doesn’t matter. You shouldn’t need proof. You know I’m not a murderer!”
“Did I ever mean anything to you? Or was it all just a lie?”
“You believe that?! Then you never knew me at all.”
“They grew up thinking they could be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster?”
“I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this place wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes… I just wanna let them.”
“No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.”
“I like it here. Let’s live here forever.”
“I’m sorry. I see you, (Name). And you’re not alone.”

I’m having Some Thoughts about Pickles i want to share with the class today.
I think Pickles is more sensitive (at least internally nowadays) than he leads on to be, mostly because he’s had to be. Years of teen homelessness/early adulthood homelessness really did a number on his psyche. He’s gotten so use to burying his emotions and using drugs/alcohol has a coping mechanism to hide how he feels that now that he’s in a safer environment and surrounded by people who care about him (despite what they might say) he doesn’t know how to show it.
I think he’s tried more than once to cut his drinking in half. He’s spent days holed up in his room, Withdrawals racking through him with the force of a pissed off god. He’s sleeping in the bathroom just because it’s easier than stumbling to the toilet every other minute. People check on him, Nathan sits with him as he sweats and shivers and begs him for just one drink/line/hit of anything to make this hell stop. And of course, Nathan doesn’t say anything. Just stares at him, stone cold and unwavering with his reply of “I’d rather rip my organs out than do that.” because Pickles asked him to deny him whatever he’d beg for.
He wouldn’t last two months, Nathan finding him locked in the recording booth guzzling down a bottle of liquor with coke smeared on his face. They don’t talk for 2 weeks each time it happens, but no one acknowledges it. Pickles hears Nathan’s voice as his subconscious, hateful words calling him weak and pathetic for not wanting it enough.
When Pickles goes to Wisconsin for thanksgiving at the request of his mother, yet again seeking her approval, he’s yet again let down and shoved down due to Seth’s mediocre life pleasing his parents more than anything Pickles could ever do. He knows he can just leave, tell them all to fuck off and suck it but he can’t bring himself to. So he goes to the bar, he gets absolutely hammered before trekking back home and getting into a huge screaming match with his parents again. He calls Charles, who already has a hotel room booked for him and a flight for the next day ready. He spends that night on the phone with the band, laid out on the luxury suite bed with a bottle of Jameson in his hand as he listened to his mates chatter and tell him about how Murderface tried to do some stupid thanksgiving day special that went terribly wrong and how shitty it was when he wasn’t there to join in on their fun.
That’s when he reminds himself he found his family, scrapped them up from different garbage cans like he did to himself after running away. Hell be home by the afternoon tomorrow and can put this whole weekend behind him. He’ll be hearing Murderfaces voice yelling down the hall as Toki and Nathan make fun of him for something stupid he’s said. He’ll be watching gory movies with Nathan by the end of the day, and they’ll be sitting a little too close to each other for it to be normal, but neither will acknowledge it. Their hands will end up intertwined— without any acknowledgement too.
The first time he and Nathan make any sort of advance on the other is hurried and awkward, there’s hands groping soft skin and bites and scratching and curses. They don’t talk about it when they wake up the next morning, Pickles face turning beat red when Toki mentions the obscenely large bite mark on his shoulder that night before a show (Nathan’s white face paint nearly melting off with embarrassment.)
Pickles is adamant it’s not there, despite the red and blue bruising that radiates from the teeth marks. He pretends he doesn’t see Nathan glaring a hole through his head after the show, watching him sweet talk a woman in her late 30s into his bed. (he doesn’t sleep with her, and she goes home an hour later.) Only then does Nathan confront him, angrily asking who he thinks he is and why the fuck he brought some woman back to his room. This causes a whole argument, and surprise surprise it ends with Pickles pinned to the wall, Nathan holding him up with one freakishly large hand. They decide, after a jealous fuck, that there’s something they need to address (Pickles likes the jealousy that radiates off Nathan when women fling themselves at him, he’s never had someone want him so badly in every way.)
i just realized how long this all is but anyways i think about pickles a lot and his relationship with Nathan and found family and all that. if you read all that thank u love u hope u enjoyed my rambling!
#metalocalypse#dethklok#pickles the drummer#pickles posting#rainy rambles#like a whole fuck ton of rambling#i got carried away with this

(ED MENTION!)
Been rewatching Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. and hyperfixating on small town gothic mystery aesthetics, so here’s my version of the gang if I were to write my own adaptation:
Fred
19, engineering major
6’2”
Autistic
His special interest is traps
Asexual and biromantic, he/him
In a pre-established relationship with Daphne, they’re a ride-or-die couple and can sometimes be sappy to the point that they gross the others out
The heart of the group, brought everyone together, is usually the one to cool down arguments
Decent at cooking but REALLY good at baking
Gets ascots from Daphne every year for his birthday
Knew Velma a little in high school, mainly from physics and math but never got to actually know her until college
Got the Mystery Machine from a sketchy car dealer when he turned 16 and loves the old rust bucket to death
Velma:
18, forensics science major, minor in history
4’11”
Also autistic, self-diagnosed because it’s really hard to get a diagnosis
Lesbian and genderqueer, she/they
Had a crush on Daphne a few years ago, but when Daphne and Fred got together she forced herself to ignore it until it eventually went away
LOVES true crime podcasts, kinda wants to start their own one day
Super blunt and sarcastic, can sometimes come off as rude to the people who don’t know them that well
Struggled with an eating disorder for a while, Shaggy helped her recover and now they’re best friends
Tech wiz
Daphne:
19, fashion design major
5’6”
Pan, she/her
Grew up in a wealthy family with four older sisters, was always pressured by her parents to fit their image of perfection, so she eventually started deliberately doing things to piss them off
Starting a relationship with Fred was the breaking point and now she doesn’t talk to them (she still keeps in touch with her sisters, though)
Natural blonde, dyes her hair
The most athletic out of all of them, used to do gymnastics and dance throughout middle school and high school
Quit when she realized how much it was negatively affecting her body image
Hates when people assume she’s ditzy just because she’s hyperfeminine
Looks mean at first, is actually super sweet
Fascinated with ghosts and cryptids
Loves ‘80s and ‘90s Heathers-inspired fashion
Shaggy:
20, culinary arts major but was undecided for a while
5’9”
Aroace, he/him
Mix of hippie and grunge aesthetic
Definitely smokes weed
Loves ‘70s and ‘80s music
Has a panic disorder, ADHD, and dyslexia
Has seen every classic horror movie to ever exist despite being terrified of them
Everyone assumes the Mystery Machine belongs to him until someone in the Mystery Gang corrects them
Will eat basically any type of food you put in front of him
Shitty relationship with his parents since they have unreachable expectations for him and constantly compare him to his classmates and cousins
Scooby:
Shaggy’s psychiatric service “dog”
Not actually a dog—in reality he’s an alien who crash-landed near Shaggy’s house and took the form of a Great Dane, the Rogers got him trained as a service dog for Shaggy’s panic disorder, and the rest is history
Shaggy still has no idea (although he and the gang do think it’s weird that Scoob can talk)
Despite being a bit of a coward he’d do anything to protect the gang, especially Shaggy
Likes horror movies just as much as Shaggy
Will eat literal garbage if hungry enough (which is all the time)
Started developing doglike traits over the years (barks at people walking by, hates the vacuum, developed a taste for dog treats, etc.)
Also here’s the full body photos i drew:
#i’m very out of practice with drawing dogs if you can’t tell#i’ve also been listening to the podcast heart starts pounding while drawing these and the vibes have been immaculate#scooby doo#scooby gang#scooby doo au#college au#scooby doo adaptation#shaggy rogers#shaggy and scooby#fred jones#velma dinkley#daphne blake#scooby doo redesign#cw ed mention

tbh what also kinda pisses me off in the Scooby fandom is the like 4 people online that are so mad about the hate that 13th Ghost and RTZI get and get so defensive over these movies because of it that they’ll say things like “oh look at these grown adults getting so mad about retcons🤣” and claim that people who don’t like these movies just hate fun. and they’ll say things like “well the fandom ASKED for a 13 Ghosts sequel and now they’re CRYING about it because they wanted to see a demon get stuffed in a box but that didn’t happen cause we got another thing instead boohoo get over it” like bro first of all, you are NOT helping the reputations of these movies AT ALL. if anything, you’re actually making their reputations worse than they already are. and you can’t force people to like stuff and also, making fun of fans especially 13 Ghosts fans for not liking something/being disappointed about 13th Ghost’s ending because they wanted the 13th Ghost to be recaptured is incredibly rude. i like RTZI and i love 13th Ghost and i love the 13th ghost’s redemption thing and i like the villain reveal and i think it’s a good ending but OH MY GOD you can’t be that mad about people wanting the 13th ghost to get recaptured in the chest, literally the entire 13 Ghosts show was about the gang recapturing the ghosts from the chest after Shaggy and Scooby let them out that was the whole plot OF COURSE people were expecting the 13th ghost to be caught. they’re allowed to want that!!! they’re allowed to express their disappointment!!! so to sit here and say “well actually it’s THE FANS FAULT” is incorrect and rude and stupid. you guys are so mean. i understand being mad about the amount of hate that these movies get like i get annoyed about it too sometimes believe me i’ve talked about it before. but YOU CAN’T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT!!!! or that one confession i saw that was like “well maybe if you guys didn’t voice how much you love ZI, we wouldn’t have gotten RTZI so maybe think about that” which is also stupid and is also just being very rude to the fans. you are disrespecting other Scooby fans and also giving yourself and others 13th Ghost and RTZI fans a bad rep! also i hate when they try to convince other fans that no actually 13th Ghost was better than the series and the series was garbage or that no actually RTZI was better than the original. like my guy, you can think that these movies are better than the originals and not like 13 Ghosts or ZI and voice your opinion online but don’t @ the fans and try to force them to think the same as you and be disrespectful towards them just because they didn’t like a movie that YOU liked. it’s okay for people to not like a movie/feel disappointed about it i promise you it’s not that deep😭
in conclusion: let’s just all chill and support other Scooby fans and come up with theories about 13th Ghost and RTZI and make fun little jokes thank you❤️🙏🏻
#scooby doo#curse of the 13th ghost#return to zombie island#live. laugh. love Scooby fandom#this post is very long oh my#obviously this is only some 13th Ghost and RTZI fans that’s why i said ‘like 4 people’#the rest of them are cool

It funny because BOTH Teen Titans Go and Johnny Test actively have new episodes/movies being made based on them to this very day, while the VAST majority of those ‘LoRe ShOwS’ from the 2010s have ended by now. So it actually, OBJECTIVELY looks like jack fucking shit was killed off for an entire decade. Almost like specific genres being killed completely for a set amount of time just doesn’t fucking actually happen in the entertainment. At all. Because how the FUCK would that even work.
What else is different about the universe you live in where Teen Titans Go and Johnny Tests didn’t obviously outlast those evil lore shows (whatever the hell that’s even supposed to MEAN)? And instead its Owl House and Amphibia that are still having new episodes/movies being made about them to this day??
Personally. I also think the future of animation looks horrible. Cartoons are constantly being cancelled or pulled off of streaming services, the unique and creative cartoons that ACTUALLY came from indie/outsider animators (I.E. those lore based shows you need to hate so much) have all been dropped in favor of cheap garbage that can be pumped out indefinitely because nobody gives a shit about making them any good, and constant layoffs/shutdowns are plaguing animation departments at multiple studios in general. Which are all BAD things that lead to animators and cartoon creators/writers being fucked over by companies as hard as they are right now.
I don’t even know what to say to you in that regard. It just seems like you don’t really give a shit about animation, REALLY don’t like any of the real world indie creators or people who actually want the medium to prosper, and are just towing the line of what Lily/Ginger have said nearly every fucking day for YEARS by now because you don’t actually have any ideas yourself about what the hell you’re even talking about when it comes to the animation industry. The unions for animators and those working on children’s cartoons overall weren’t even A PART of these most recent strikes you fucking moron!! I don’t even think that those can be called any type of animation “takes”, because you clearly know so PAINFULLY fucking little about cartoons or how the animation industry works at all. While getting all of your information about them from the like 3 fucking terminally online losers that you have an extremely unhealthy parasocial attachment too!!
Dang @ginger-snap-talkin-nonsense looks like I got one of your guys.
What I find the strangest thing about this act is the implication that modern animation is cheap, when it is the complete opposite now. Like, have you seen Spiderverse, Puss in Boots, Nimona? Even preschool shows have upped their game. That can't be cheap or easy.
Also there's a lot of assumptions on my personal life or my knowledge of animation here. Now I won't pretend I am an animation expert or industry expert, but I know quite a bit. I've studied in depth on some of the behind the scenes stories of animation, to the point where I cracked the story of what happened to one of the most obscure pieces of lost media (which btw expect that post in about 3 days). That takes time and effort out of my life studying this stuff to understand where things went wrong or right.
Also I do like indie animaton, and I do like people who actually want the medium to prosper, but a lot of people forget that animation, like all mediums of fiction, needs variety to prosper. You can't have every animated series to be a serious, lore telling show like how you can't have every movie to be a superhero action flick, or every book to be a dystopian novel (just for example). Variety is the spice of life. You also have to ask, did people make so many lore telling epics because they truly believed they were making a good story, or because it was the latest trend? I think something like Steven Universe did want to tell a story, but something like Amphibia it's a bit more questionable.
Also last bit, to define a lore show. Lore shows are shows that favor bits of pieces of lore drops and mystery instead of telling a good story. It's a term I came up with after my fascination with FNAF's history. FNAF used to be a game series with a good story, but after some time it became obsessed with hiding as many secrets as possible. Doing this for so long has hurt FNAF in the long run, where people dislike how many mysteries don't have a plausible solution, how bare-bones the story is, and how far it has come from its original roots of telling a simple ghost story.
My current list of lore shows are as follows:
Adventure Time at some point, Steven Universe, Owl House, Star vs., Amphibia.
I am not saying of course, that lore is a bad thing. I love a good mystery, or else I wouldn't have followed FNAF for as long as I did. But there's a good line to draw when having a good mystery over a good story. Or having story be there, but not be the total focus of everything the show revolves around.
Here's a list of shows I think have good stories/lore, but have other things that make the shows good that keep them balanced:
Modern spongebob (no, really), Gumball, Kim possible, American Dragon, Regular show, Clone high s1, Gravity Falls
Of course, I probably spent too much energy to answering someone who probably wanted to get a rise out of me instead of a thoroughly thought out answer, but there you go.

Sure, corporations screwing over artists has led to massive layoffs, projects getting cancelled for tax credits, and everybody getting fucked over to the point where another massive strike happened. But at least the cartoons you hate got cancelled in the process right?!! At least the shows/movies that the evil LGBTQ+ people and Jewish people work on get the MOST fucked over in the process right?!! So many animators and writers are barely fucking scraping by at this point, but it’s all fucking fine because all of the shows that they were making were just content mill fucking garbage anyway!!! Artists and audiences kept loving the shows that you worthless little shits hated, so now that they’re all getting fucked over by the rich white executives at the fucking top you’ve barely been able to contain your fucking glee.
Yeah Ginger, I guess all those story based shows really are dead and buried at this point. One might wonder why that’s happened in the midst of a massive writer’s strike and companies cancelling EVERYTHING to give their executives/CEOs bigger fucking bonuses. But all of them were just garbage awful shows that YOU personally hated, so none of that fucking matters now I guess. Those executives are the only people who think that the same boring, bland crap over and over and over again is good, just like you and. . . . .I don’t know, maybe like eight other people do??? So there’s no fucking problems as far as you’re concerned. As long as they don’t let those awful black people and untalented non-binary people ruin your precious fucking cartoons anymore!!!!!! They’ll all just CHOOSE to write bad shows anyways SO WHY NOT JUST FUCK OVER EVERYBODY AND ONLY GREENLIGHT THE LAZIEST, MOST PREDICTABLE FUCKING CRAP EVER RIGHT GINGER!!!!!!!!!
Sitcom anon, you really have a lot of terrible things to say about minorities, huh?
You should get that checked, getting a blood clot while you ramble about how much you hate people of color and the LGBT community is a really good way to wind up in an early casket.

Ocean headcanons!!!
She is the queen of sneaking out because she doesn’t wanna walk by her high as hell parents and have to be asked to smoke with them
Every member of the choir has threatened to steal her at least once
She seems like the type of person to just casually mention her childhood trauma as like a personal anecdote
Ocean: Yeah so once my dad was really high and really paranoid and he thought I had broken into the house so he chased me around with a knife and-
Noel: I’m sorry he WHAT-
She pretends that she loves every subject but she secretly hates History
The teacher is like 200 years old and is somehow simultaneously the loudest and quietest person on earth
In other words: She is mostly unintelligible to most people
Noel is like one of the only people who understands her so he debriefs the choir on her lessons every day
Ocean will never admit that he is the only reason that she is passing that class
She has only been drunk one time and she ended up dying her hair purple and singing Party in the USA with Noel using Mischa’s karaoke machine
It was mostly fun besides the part where she fell off of a table and got a headache but she never did it again after her parents said that they were glad that she was “finally mellowing out”
She has a shelf of awards in her room
Every now and then she’ll go through a phase where she tries to throw out all of her trophies and medals and stuff because “they don’t really mean anything so what’s the point!” and Noel saves them every time because he knows that once she snaps out of it that she’ll be really mad if she actually did throw them all out
This becomes especially frequent after the Cyclone and Noel at one point threatens to “go all Monique Gibeau on your ass if I have to pull another fucking Spelling Bee trophy out of your goddamn garbage can” which results in a resounding “language”
It also results in Ocean laughing (like, full on laughing) for like the first time since the Cyclone happened and Noel was in such shock that he couldn’t even make fun of her
He didn’t even want to make fun of her afterwards either he just bragged to the choir about it
Constance tries teaching how to cook once
It does not end well
Ocean never wants to except help for anything so Constance just pretends that she needs help with stuff and then figured out a way to twist it into her helping Ocean
Ocean is the official watcher for Mischa when he’s drunk
Like she’ll get a call at one in the morning and she’ll already be opening her window and halfway out of it before Mischa can even get a single word out
She likes watching over him though because he gets all sappy and nice
She also gets to record a bunch of funny moments like the time where he tried to sing the entirety of This Song is Awesome in one breath and almost passed out
Ricky shows her his comics and she finds out that she really likes Spiderman comics
She considers Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse to be their movie since they’ve seen it over 20 times
Ricky also considers it to be their movie but he is much more open to the idea of letting other people into their movie sessions than Ocean is
People look at Ocean and Mischa and they’re always like “Woah look at that huge scary dude!” When in reality the real scary one is the feral redhead
They’re like a pitbull and a chihuahua
There’s an abandoned playground in town that Penny loves ‘dragging’ Ocean to
I say ‘dragging’ because Ocean absolutely loves to go but she thinks it will ruin her ‘reputation’ if she shows it
They like having one of them sit in the middle of those big spinny circles with the bars while the other one grabs on to on of the bars and just runs around till they get tired
They call it ‘Hurricane Penny’ because Penny’s the one that came up with the game so she gets naming rights
Penny swears that she saw a ghost one time when in reality it was just Ocean trying to regain her senses after Hurricane Penny
She doesn’t condone violence and is super against it until you insult a member of the choir
Mischa heard that some guys were picking on her
He got suspended the very next day
#tw cursing#cw cursing#cw all caps#tw all caps#ride the cyclone#ride the cyclone musical#rtc#ocean o'connell rosenberg#ocean rtc#mischa rtc#mischa bachinski#noel gruber#noel rtc#constance rtc#constance blackwood#ricky rtc#ricky potts#jane doe#jane doe rtc#penny rtc#penny lamb#if you can tell which fic I’m referencing with the trauma thing then 🥰❤️#i love the idea protective big brother mischa#we stan noel being secretly fond of ocean#I need more ricky and ocean friendship#and ocean and penny friendship#honestly I just need more choir friendship in general#rtc headcanons#ride the cyclone headcanons

For the life of me I don’t want to be a sequels hater, because the way fans reacted to those movies really soured my opinion of Star Wars for years, and I don’t want to pile on to the garbage that those movies get.
However. I fundamentally despise the what they did to Luke and I can’t not think about it anytime I think about Luke showing up in Disney brand Star Wars stuff. 
Because now that I’ve seen the prequels, now that I have the full picture, Luke becoming a bitter and pathetic old man that fell on his own sword goes against not just the themes of the originals, but the whole damn story.
Luke is not meant to be a pathetic Obi-Wan type. He’s not supposed to be the master that failed and is stuck in his ways. We already got that with Yoda and Obi-Wan!!! Why rehash it with Luke?!????
Because like after watching the prequels, the original six movies create a pretty complete and whole story. Anakin wasn’t the chosen one, it was Luke who was the chosen one. He’s the one that brought balance to the force and destroyed the Sith. And he was able to do that because he refused to let go of his emotions and compassions. Whether Luke is literally “the chosen one” in canon, or just on a meta level, he is the one that’s going to restore the Jedi order and bring balance back to the force.
The whole point is that Luke won’t make the same mistakes that the Jedis before him did. The Jedi order fell because they were stuck in their ways and lost touch with what the Jedi were supposed to be for the galaxy. The Jedi order as it had been created the monster of Darth Vader. Their flaws are exactly what set up Anakin to fail, and the WHOLE POINT of Return of the Jedi was Luke setting him free and vowing to right the wrongs of the past. The Jedi Order under Luke was supposed to be different!!! Never in my life would Luke adhere to the no attachments rule, nor would he be so blind to the dark side of the force. Luke isn’t supposed to be Obi-Wan!!! He’s supposed to be Luke!!! He’s supposed to be the hero that never turns his back on his friends!! DOES THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP MEAN NOTHING TO YOU DISNEY
Anyway. If you like that interpretation of Luke, I’m not going to be one to poopoo on your fun. Nor am I going to loudly talk about how I hate the sequels. I’m neutral about them for the most part, aside from the butchering of Luke’s character. and like I feel so weird talking about how much I hate Luke in those movies because I know a lot of horrible people used that to be horrible to the actors online. And I don’t want to add to that.
But like idk. I just don’t like that this is the Luke was have now because Disney owns his soul. That this ending for him is “canon” now.
You may own his body Disney. But you’ll never have his spirit. Fuck you.
#luke skywalker#star wars#this is a long ramble I just gotta get it off my chest#I don’t want it seem like I’m riding George Lucas’ dick here#cus like I have my fair share of criticisms towards him#and I don’t believe in auteur theory#however I do think the orginal six movies are great#like super great#and I love how whole and complete it is#and I feel like disney just ripped out the heart of luke’s story and stomped on it#I don’t want to be a hater#I really don’t#but I just really don’t like what they did to luke ahahaha

new headcanon that is entirely your fault:
Billy had to do some community service back in California when he was like 15 and he did it at a nursing home. It's where he picked up lingo like 'the heebie jeebies.'
Maybe Neil picked that option because he was sure Billy would loathe it, even more than picking up garbage on the highway. Billy actually really liked helping out there though, even though he wasn't at a point where he could admit that.
Yes!!!
I swear, Billy enjoys the company of old people. They don’t bullshit him, but these people also don’t treat him like garbage. These people lived through the Great Depression and the traumas of both World Wars. They have seen some shit... but they also know how to have fun. Maybe they compensated for their traumas by spoiling the upcoming boomers, but they were out there trying their best and surviving by the skin of their teeth. That said, they can recognize a kid down on his luck in need of some love and kindness. They do not give a single shit what Billy wears or how he talks. They do care that Billy learns good movies, good music, and how to dance.
Neil probably thinks Billy will hate it because he doesn’t like old people. Probably views the generation(s) before him as less responsible, less disciplined, with uncertain futures. So many of them included waves of new immigrants or first generation Americans who took the jobs of “hard-working” third generation+ (White) Americans and refused to become fluent in English. Neil seems the type to blame all of his problems on everyone but himself. He also seems ex-military, but at a point in American history when being in the military didn’t garner the same kind of support as previous generations.
Surprise, surprise, though. Billy feels at home with the Olds.
#asks#nursing home au#ofc then as soon as he gets too comfortable#neil pulls the rug out from under him#taking it away from him#says he doesn’t like all these ideas he’s getting from them
