ik that Ledge is kind of out of most peoples canon around here but do you have any thoughts on him?

LEDGE!!! OFC I do <3 Honestly, I wish that they would let Hacker retire and bring a new generation of evil to Cyberspace like Ledge and Zusk, both of which I thought had great potential! I also honestly really liked the Hackerized episode as it felt more suspenseful and more end of Cyberspace than we had seen in a long time. But otherwise onto actual Ledge thoughts.

Ledge grew up with a father who was quite friendly and loved to help people. However, this unfortunately was often taken advantage of and Ledge's father was treated as a pushover and often taken advantage of. Ledge hated the fact that his father refused to stand up for himself and was determined to never be like him. That began him on a path wanting respect and a want for people to listen to him and his authority. It helped that he had a way with chemistry and cybernetics and used them to invent things for his benefit, using them to get ahead in life.

He started seeing more and more of Hacker on the news and sympathized with the borg's want for authory and respect. He slowly villianized the cybersquad and Motherboard by putting himself in Hacker's shoes, as if he was being the one betrayed and belittled. Unfortunately, his dreams of joining Hacker were dashed by the man himself after the events of Hackerized. He swore his revenge and has little trust or patience for other borgs. He considers them idiots that he can easily manipulate to do what he wants. He also decided people were a waist of time and moved out at the age of 16, building himself a workshop where he plans his next move against the cybersquad, Hacker, and Motherboard.

3, 5, 8, and 9 for doctor who >:)

hyperfixation asks!

Heehee, thank you, Ellie. >:)c

3. Why do you like it? The plot, the characters, the jokes?

The escapism! The fantasy of being whisked away by a charming stranger for an adventure into space or other timelines is so exciting. The possibilities are endless, and the idea is still every bit as appealing and comforting to me now as it was when I was a teenager... maybe more!

5. Who’s your favourite character?

Thisssssss question is evil LOL. You’re asking me to choose between Nine, Ten, Rose, and Donna, and I hate to tell you but that’s just impossible.

8. What is one out-of-context kind of wacky part of the plot that doesn’t even make sense with context?

I think this could describe a large chunk of the show in general pfff

Okay, but... no, that’s hard, actually, because despite how insane the show can be, it’s generally pretty well-written (and I am talking Nine and Ten’s run; that’s the only DW that exists for me, and it’s the only part of DW that I’m hopelessly attached to lol).

Mmmh.

I guess the one that comes to mind the most immediately for me is the giant wasp episode, “The Unicorn and the Wasp”. It’s such a good episode, but it’s kind of absurd that there’d be an alien that looks almost exactly like a gargantuan Earth wasp, and it’s even more absurd that it’s the child of one of the human characters.

Like. LOL. It makes sense enough, you know. Humans fall in love. They have weird wasp alien babies. It’s scifi. It happens. But it’s just so bonkers that just typing it out makes me laugh.

9. Any headcanons?

I think I read this in a fanfic somewhere, a long time ago, so I can’t say this is really my headcanon, but I love it enough that I like to apply it to my image of the Doctor:

The Doctor has a garden inside the TARDIS which is segmented and dedicated to each of his companions (usually added once they’ve moved on). I love to think Rose’s section is full of pink and yellow roses (of course) and Donna’s forget-me-nots.

Do I think it’s IC? I’m honestly not sure, but I don’t care. It makes my heart warm and that’s what matters here hahaha

(Oh, I also like to think he has a separate garden in another with a singular sample of Gallifrey’s native flora. There’s nothing else there, just the one bloom. The TARDIS keeps it healthy and growing, but the Doctor can never quite bring himself to visit, so she (the TARDIS) neatly tucks it away where he won’t stumble into it. She’s courteous that way.)

Danganronpa soulmate au. Kokichi Oma

So, I made a few scenarios that ki-inda turned into oneshots he-he. I reread it just now and decided they're worthy publishing. I'll post 'em in a different posts 'coz they really big. Let's start off with Kokichi, shall we?) Hope you like it!

~~~

Soulmate AU, where you can taste everything, your soulmate is eating `till you meet them.

You weren’t happy. In fact, you were irritated and struggling not to snap and scream out of frustration. The reason? – your soulmate, who happened to be an asshole.

Who the hell eats pineapple pizza? Or pasta with chocolate? Or ice crème sandwich with literal bread as a dessert and then drinks a bunch of sodas mashed together into one?

Apparently, them.

You couldn’t say for sure if they were naturally a weirdo or, they were eating bad food combinations on purpose. Whatever the answer, this whole situation was ticking you off.

That’s why you decided to find them.

‘I`ll find you, and I`ll chock you’ you thought with determination.

***

It was an only place they served a pineapple pizza coupled with a few other horrible things your soulmate seemed to eat. Of course, there was no guarantee they would be here, however, you had a feeling.

You ordered some coffee with (f/s) and sat down in the corner of the small café. There was no one in here except you and the cashier, who seemed bored and apathetic. Though, it was still early. You sipped on your coffee and started to wait.

You have been waiting for your soulmate to show up up until lunch. The cashier wasn’t giving a damn about you, and you drank at least five cups of coffee and was regretting such decision.

Finally, you heard the door opening. You turned your head sharply to see who was entering and saw… a kid? A teenager? You couldn’t tell, really. The guy looked like a twelve-year-old at most, but he could be older. His fashion sense was weird and his purple hair seemed to defy gravity. 

The guy trotted confidently to the counter, like he already knew what he wanted. The cashier looked up from his phone.

“Oh. It’s you again. Let me guess, the usual?” he asked the small boy.

“Yep. But with double amount of soda this time. My soulmate decided to be an ass and torture me with ungodly amount of coffee. I need to wash the taste away”.

This sentence caught you off-guard. ‘What?’

“Serves you right. You’ve been coming here the whole month ordering this shitty food. No wonder they snapped”.

The time stopped for you. Was he… your soulmate? This child-like boy?

“Pfff, they’re a fool, if they think they can stop me. You can’t stop a supreme leader of evil!” he let out the dumbest laugh you’ve ever heard. The cashier looked at him with something close to amusement.

The anger filled you in mere seconds.

“You!” you rose from your place and shouted at him “Son of a bitch!”

The boy turned in your direction and coked his head to the side in mild confusion.

“Me?” he asked you.

“Yes. You.” You confirmed.

He smiled “Why so snappy, girl? You look like I ruined your whole day and I don’t even know you! Or am I? Nah, I’d remember you. Probably”.

You walked up to him. The cashier, feeling your menacing aura decided it’d be better if he just leaves for a while. “Don’t thrash the place you two. Call me when you ready to order. Or not. Whatever”.

You looked at your oh-so-obvious soulmate. He was smiling innocently at you, curiosity apparent in his eyes. It can’t be a coincident. No, you were sure about that.

You told him how much you suffered this whole month, forced to taste the things that should be illegal and how much you angry at him for that. You were literally hissing at the boy, who didn`t seem scared or ashamed. Moreover, after you ended your speech, he laughed.

“Oh, so it`s you! Wasn`t expecting to meet you this soon, but it seems like you were desperate enough to find me so fast” he said with a cheeky smile.

Oh, how you were mad with his response. Wasn`t he apologetic at all?

You sighed in annoyance. What`s the rule again? You meet your soulmate and you stop tasting what they eat? Well, you met him. You wasn`t oblige to stay with him. You turned your back on him and moved to the exit.

“W-wait!” you heard him exclaim. There was a sign of worry in his voice. You felt his hand grasping your sleeve. You turned around and glared at him. “Who said you can leave?” the boy said, putting on a look of annoyance “You`re my soulmate, ri-ight? You can`t escape me, nishi…”

“I can” you interrupted him.

He looked at you blankly. He didn`t expect this kind of answer. You repeated yourself and said you just wanted this whole thing to stop. Honestly, you were just pissed about your tastebuds being offended for a whole month. You didn`t meant to came out as heartless. You even kinda regretted your words after you said them.

You felt his hand slowly reattaching itself from your sleeve. The guy was awfully silent. You anger ceased down at that point. Actually, you realized that he might have wanted to meet you and that`s why he kept eating all this stuff. To meet you as fast as he can. To make sure you`ll find him.

‘Now I feel like a bitch’ you bit your lip. You gathered all your strength and quietly apologized to him.

“I`m sorry. I didn`t mean to hurt you like that”. You then said that you don`t mind having a soulmate, really.

He looked at you, hope and hesitance fighting inside of him “You don`t saying that just to make me feel better?”

You assured him that you`re not. That you got it, why he was doing that and you wasn`t mad anymore.

“That`s stupid to be mad over someone`s attempts to find you after all” you said, smiling. You ruffled his head, feeling him flinch, but then relax. You saw a sincere smile lit up on his face. He giggled and you felt your heart soften.

“You calling yourself stupid than?”

“Oh, shush!” you took his hand “Let`s go”.

“Woah, so charmed with me already, ha?” he smirks “Where are you going to take me, soulmate?”

“Where going to my place” it seemed to caught him out guard. You then added “I`m gonna feed you normal food. It must have been a suffering to eat something like pineapple pizza the whole week”.

“I liked pineapple pizza” he lied.

“Lies”.

“And you`re not gonna poison my food?”

“Of course not! By the way, can I have my soulmate`s name?”

“You can! I`m Kokichi Oma, the ultimate supreme leader” he said proudly. You tried to stiff your laugh.

“Y/n y/s. Nice to meet you, Kokichi” you smiled at him. His cheeks reddened a bit.

“It`s nice to meet you too, m-my soulmate”.

So, the official writing team is going to post movies they’ve discussed for season 4 once a week. For the funsies, I guess I’ll look at each movie and see what it’s about. 

So let’s get started. I’m sorry if this looks bad on tumblr mobile, but it;s their fault for messing up the indented paragraphs

The Peanut Butter Solution

Ghosts restore a boy's (Mathew Mackay) hair when it falls out from fright, but then it won't stop growing.

Michael Baskin is an average 11-year-old boy. His father, Billy Baskin, is a struggling artist and temporary sole caregiver of the children while his wife attends to the needs of her recently deceased father in Australia. Upon hearing the news that an abandoned mansion has recently burned down, Michael and his friend Connie decide to explore the remains. Outside the mansion, Connie dares Michael to take a look inside, leading to a frightening encounter with the ghosts of its homeless inhabitants who had died in the fire. Michael does not know this yet, but his fearsome run in with the ghosts has given him a mysterious illness simply known as "The Fright". Michael wakes up the next morning to find out that "The Fright" has made him lose all of his hair. After a failed attempt with a wig (his wig was pulled off by an older boy during a fight in a soccer game), the ghosts visit Michael in his sleep and give him the recipe of a magical formula for hair growth, the main ingredient of which is peanut butter. Michael's first attempt to make the formula is thwarted when his father and sister think he is making something to ingest (rather than use topically) and dispose of it.

A short summary of this movie. It goes on to explain that Michael successfully makes the formula and grows his hair back, but an evil teacher fired from his school discovers his hair growing ability, kidnaps him, uses his hair to make magical paint brushes before he’s finally caught and everyone gets a happy ending. 

.... Gonna be honest. NO idea how this is gonna work in. lol. Will’s bowl cut??? The beginning part there had me thinking about Joyce. The exploring the hunted house with a friend had me thinking of Will and El. But everything else? Pfff. 

The Fisher King

After shock jock Jack Lucas (Jeff Bridges) inadvertently provokes a caller into murdering a group of innocent people in a Manhattan bar, he grows depressed and turns to booze. As he's about to hit rock bottom, Lucas meets a homeless man named Parry (Robin Williams), whose wife was killed by the caller Lucas pushed to the brink. Mentally scarred by his loss, Parry spends his days searching for the Holy Grail. Lucas, feeling culpable for the poor man's plight, pledges to help him in his quest.

Nope, no idea. I really got nothing except.... maybe Kali?????? Ok wait, I read a bit more, mostly the ending bits. The homeless man, Parry, is beat senseless and is in a coma/catatonic state. The hero of the movie must steal a Holy Grail to wake him up, which he does.

Another part, the hero had previously broken up with his lover (out of guilt I guess???) reunites with her. She slaps him and then they kiss and make up. Or something.

Kinda... Hopper and Joyce like I guess. 

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey

Amiable slackers Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) are once again roped into a fantastical adventure when De Nomolos (Joss Ackland), a villain from the future, sends evil robot duplicates of the two lads to terminate and replace them. The robot doubles actually succeed in killing Bill and Ted, but the two are determined to escape the afterlife, challenging the Grim Reaper (William Sadler) to a series of games in order to return to the land of the living.

As much as I love Keanu, this does not make me happy. The only beneficial thing I can think of is two best friends doing stuff together to solve a mystery (Will and El). Maybe Will will get Keanu’s hair

You’ve Got Mail

Struggling boutique bookseller Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) hates Joe Fox (Tom Hanks), the owner of a corporate Foxbooks chain store that just moved in across the street. When they meet online, however, they begin an intense and anonymous Internet romance, oblivious of each other's true identity. Eventually Joe learns that the enchanting woman he's involved with is actually his business rival. He must now struggle to reconcile his real-life dislike for her with the cyber love he's come to feel.

.... What? No idea how this is going to happen.... maybe Joyce gets a mysterious pen pal and it’s secretly Hopper. Or, maybe Joyce will become a librarian/book seller

Ordinary People

Tormented by guilt following the death of his older brother, Buck, in a sailing accident, alienated teenager Conrad Jarrett (Timothy Hutton) attempts suicide. Returning home following an extended stay in a psychiatric hospital, Conrad tries to deal with his mental anguish and also reconnect with his mother, Beth (Mary Tyler Moore), who has grown cold and angry, and his emotionally wounded father, Calvin (Donald Sutherland), with the help of his psychiatrist, Dr. Berger (Judd Hirsch).

Ok THIS IS MORE LIKE IT. YES. I probably haven’t seen the movie, but this summary gets me hyped. Let me check out the plot....

“The Jarretts are an upper-middle-class family in suburban Chicago trying to return to normal life after the accidental death of their older teenage son, Buck, and the attempted suicide of their younger and surviving son, Conrad. “

Chicago huh? Hmmmmmm

“ Conrad, who has recently returned home from a four-month stay in a psychiatric hospital, feels alienated from his friends and family and begins seeing a psychiatrist, Dr. Berger. Berger learns that Conrad was involved in the sailing accident that took the life of Buck, whom everyone idolized. Conrad now deals with post-traumatic stress disorder and survivor's guilt. “

This screams Will to me because of the whole alienation of friends and family (plus Will was going to doctors and psychiatrists for a while). BUT, the survivor's guilt thing could be El too. She told him she could fight (she didn’t know she couldn’t at the time she said that) and let him and Joyce go into the danger all alone. But Joyce would never send off her kids to a psychiatrist or ward. And she might not take them to counselors either, she’s been there done that.

“Mother and son often argue while Calvin tries to referee, generally taking Conrad's side for fear of pushing him over the edge again. Things come to a climax near Christmas, when Conrad becomes furious at Beth for not wanting to take a photo with him, swearing at her in front of his grandparents. “

Ooof, well. This movie does not have a particularly happy ending. Basically, Conrad is struggling with guilt and alienation most of the time. He even starts dating someone but it only helps a little. His mother is basically steely faced and refuses to express emotion. She totally blames her younger child for her older child’s death. She’s confronted by her husband who asks her “If she’s capable of loving anyone” and she leaves the family, only leaving father and son to heal together. 

The Byers don’t have that kind of stuff going on, not exactly. But.... yes. I can see some good material in here. Let’s hope there’s more of this and less of Bill and Ted’s adventures yeah?

...i’m still thinking about the anti-horikoshi pride flag callout post i saw earlier forgive me

like i just... he’s one man.  one man who has given us an ensemble cast of complex characters, recurring side characters with awesome designs and good side-arcs, TWO trans characters, excellent pacing and storytelling, AMAZING art, like 200 chapters (more?? i can’t find a count) of gorgeous manga art, direction for a movie, (presumably) guidance for the anime, extra drawings for fun on social media, and yet... there are still people... who want to drag him to hell for every little thing that could possibly be construed as problematic?

like the endeavor arc--whooo the endeavor arc.  because you can’t write about morally grey characters.  obviously.  that’s a no-no.  endeavor isn’t allowed to be a complex character despite the fact that he was written that way from the very beginning.  fluctuations?  in morality?  what are those??  as if everyone commenting on the arc walked straight outta the womb with the ten commandments chiseled into their skulls, as if people don’t live and learn things every day, as if these sort of stories don’t actually exist.  pfff.  you can’t use abuse survivors as something to leverage over horikoshi in order to get him to do what you, personally, want.  abuse survivors aren’t a monolith, not a unified front either, because the very nature of trauma and abuse is an individualized experience.  what triggers one person may not trigger another, and every survivor’s relationship with their abuser looks different.  SITUATIONS ARE COMPLEX.  PEOPLE ARE COMPLEX.  it’s so frustrating to watch all these conversations happen as if we can condense millions of varied experiences into one singular True And Correct narrative to follow in our fiction like--NO.  IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT.

what else has horikoshi done?  besides provide awe-inspiring amounts of story for us to consume?  well he drew the 1-A girls in bikinis and posted it to twitter once and got torn apart for it like

come on?  oversexualization is a thing but i’ve SEEN the art and what’s more important than the titillating outfits is 1) the fact that they’re not really sexy-posing and 2) the fact that kaminari and mineta are hanging out in the corner ogling, which says more about the male gaze than it does about teenage girls.  as far as fanservice goes, it’s a kind of underrated approach, if you ask me.  it’s subtle but i find that it’s a commentary on how the male gaze turns the everyday lives of girls into sexual fantasies, even when the girls just want to exist.

maybe i’m reading too much into that, but for real, bnha doesn’t panty shot, it has not-awful boob physics, and compared to a lot of other manga/anime... i really don’t have a problem with how it treats women.  seriously, how much anime/manga has such diverse character design for the girls?  not very much.  a lot of it has cookie cutter girl designs with copy paste personalities.  and, more importantly, the heroes live in a world where they have to capitalize on everything and sell versions of themselves in order to keep their rankings and make money.  

midnight and her bdsm thing?  mt. lady posing seductively at her debut fight?  it’s all about how women have to sell their bodies in order to make it in a world that incentivizes saving people, which is, haha, INCREDIBLY similar to our world.  all might also has moments where his Big Buff persona uses sex appeal, though if you look closely, he’s also played for the male gaze--he’s a symbol of virility and strength, compared to mt. lady who plays passive and meek in public to get what she wants.  these are in-universe, in-character ways that horikoshi shows us how screwed up their society is without having to spell it out for us, though he does literally spell it out at key points as well (sometimes using the villains as mouthpieces, which is fun to analyze because he’s so good at making relatable villains whose causes would be noble in another universe).

now compare this to mineta.  mineta is young, he’s still learning/growing, and he gets what he deserves--by which i mean he’s rewarded for doing actual good and punished for being pervy.  it may be played up for laughs but hell, so is a lot of the violence and somehow that never comes up when we’re talking about realism and anime.  just like with bakugou, the teachers are trying to guide him in a better direction, which also is a huge theme in the story--to treat faults and flaws as room for growth and to see the good in people.  midoriya’s main arc is how he’s learning that the chasm between hero and villain isn’t so wide--that, in fact, it barely exists at all.  there are good people doing bad things and bad people doing good things and sometimes people have good intentions as they’re committing acts of great evil.  the whole point of the story is that people are complex, that they’re a product of the society they live in, and to show the sacrifice you have to make in order to make a difference.

i didn’t mean to turn this into an essay, but... it disgusts me that after reading the same story i read people are calling for horikoshi to die?  and i mean, MOVING ON from the fact that for some reason they’re making pride flags about it as if it’s something to be proud of, because i can’t fathom that part and i don’t want to think about it--i just find it so tone-deaf that all these people, people who are usually anti-capitalism all the way, are willing to consume a story commenting on the problems caused by capitalism... only to turn around and tear it apart because it’s not 100% perfect?

like, EVEN IF horikoshi handles endeavor’s arc badly.  EVEN IF it reeks of apologism... horikoshi is still a living breathing human being?  and todoroki is not.  bottom line.  horikoshi will not have suddenly brought harm upon another human person because these characters are FICTIONAL, any actual harm that comes out of it is NOT HIS DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY aka if abusers use this to justify abuse that’s STILL the responsibility of these bad fictive people*, and calling for him to atone for one mishandled arc with death is mmmmmm what i would probably call maladjusted.  we don’t kill authors in civil society.  every time an author is put to death for what they’ve written we consider it a tragedy and then display their books loud and proud on banned books day.  like... fascists are the kinds of people who kill off dissenting opinions.  

i’m just saying.  there are better ways to handle harmful media.  you can use word-of-mouth notification systems to tell your friends what to watch out for when reading endeavor’s character arc without also adding the addendum that horikoshi deserves to be shot like a rabid dog--like, you can acknowledge that a piece of media isn’t perfect without falling into the black hole of moral perfectionism.

*i mean maybe they exist, probably do somewhere, but every time i see the argument it’s some undefined accusation that SOMEONE out there SOMEWHERE is doing X EVIL DEED and you need to be CONCERNED ABOUT IT.  that’s fearmongering.  no human being on this earth can control the actions of every other human being that touches their nebulous web of influence.  life is a butterfly effect and people are unpredictable.  it’s stressful to try and uphold an impeccable standard of conduct, especially when no one really knows whether writing a redemption arc for an abusive father with superpowers in a semi-popular futuristic sci-fi manga in this day and age and in our current political climate will help or hinder more people.  like, honestly.  can you give me an answer to that?  can you really?

What about Anti finding out that Spark has been hanging out with Leo? Like what the other ask said, for a project or just wanting to hang out? What about their relationship, how would he react? (Thank you for noticing me-I mean, for answering my questions!

Spark comes home from LA and plops into bed. He looks at the clock by his bed as it flashes 1:00 AM. His eyelids feel heavy as he kicks off his shoes. He doesn’t bother changing into pajamas. Before he settles in bed the light in his room flicks on.

“You have fun?” Anti appears with his arms crossed.

“Dad… I-” Spark tries to apologize.

“Chase warned me about that rebellious stage.” Anti sighs. “Let me guess you were with Asher or Aurora. I know they are your friends and time zones are a bitch. At least be decent. Tell me where you are, don’t sneak off like you have been for the past two months.”

“You knew.” Spark is guilty.

“Pfff you think I wouldn’t?” Anti leans against the doorframe.

Spark shrugs. “I hoped. You didn’t say anything before.”

“That’s because I was waiting to see how long you were going to keep it up. This is your limit kid.” Anti is stern.

“Dad I’m sorry. It’s just… I’m not doing so well actually.” Spark admits.

“What do you mean? Something bothering you?” Anti sits at Spark’s bed.

“A few things. You know teen stuff.” Spark doesn’t know how to put it.

“You are asking the wrong guy. I was never a teenager.” Anti reminds him.

“Right. It’s just I’m trying to figure some things out. I have not been feeling 100% lately. I mean sometimes I’m not happy and other times I feel alright. Some moments make me smile and out of the blue I just don’t feel good.” Spark picks at his jacket’s zipper.

“Spark… Why didn’t you tell us about this?” Anti gets concerned.

“I didn’t want to worry you or (mom/dad). I know you already worry about me for other reasons. I don’t want another one.” Spark looks at his dad. “I’m sorry.”

“Spark you always tell us about how you feel.” Anti brushes the hair from Spark’s eyes. “You also don’t have to hide who you were really spending your time with.”

Spark’s eyes get wide. “You-”

“You should bring him over sometime. Have a real hang out or date. You know whatever.” Anti gets up from the bed and heads out.

“Dad I-” Spark feels the nerves in his stomach. “We know this looks bad.”

“So what?” Anti shrugs. “I’m not Dark. I have no beef with Actor. He took my Sweetspark sure. Do I want to rip his head off, in a heartbeat. My issues are with Actor. Not Leo. He is welcomed here.”

“Even after…” Spark is hesitant.

“I know that it is like to not be able to control my actions. I know what it’s like to feel possessed by something evil. It’s not his fault.” Anti leaves it at that. “Bring him over. Your (mom/dad) would like to meet the guy who has been making you smile more often lately.”

Anti leaves Spark alone. Spark feels lighter after talking to his dad. He has been confining in Leo for help but he needed to talk to his parents too. His phone buzzes as he gets a phone call.

“Spark are you ok?” Leo asks.

“Actually I am.” Spark smiles. “So my dad knows.”

Leo chuckles. “Mine too.”

“We must be bad at secrets.” Spark laughs. “Hey do you want to come over on Saturday? My (mom/dad) is getting us pizza.”

Leo smiles. “I… I would like that.”

highglossfinish 08:46 PM Back to the surfer music.

thenightetc 08:46 PM "maybe someone else was out here with a hidden speaker?"

Starscreamillar 08:46 PM Glowing worms love surfer music.

thenightetc 08:47 PM So is the twist that the evil twin is the one buried there :thinking:

Starscreamillar 08:47 PM Perhaps they were both evil twins.

highglossfinish 08:48 PM The real evil twin was inside of us all all along.

Thebes 08:49 PM I gotta narrate out loud

Starscreamillar 08:49 PM That would check out.

thenightetc 08:50 PM aw, no

thenightetc 08:51 PM Now I'm all sad because the dog's clearly a goner

highglossfinish 08:52 PM Bring back the dog!

thenightetc 08:52 PM being possessed or whatever

thenightetc 08:53 PM Jesus christ.

highglossfinish 08:53 PM I hate humans.

thenightetc 08:53 PM oh yeah the wind always sounds like crying children

Starscreamillar 08:54 PM Who does not enjoy scaring children?

thenightetc 08:54 PM Sigh.

thenightetc 08:54 PM Yeah we got that.

highglossfinish 08:56 PM Well put, human baby.

thenightetc 08:56 PM Haha, what.

Starscreamillar 08:56 PM What is with these worms?

highglossfinish 08:57 PM And why do they sound like some universe's variant of Starscream?

thenightetc 08:57 PM carl's gonna get his ass kicked by a ghost

Starscreamillar 08:57 PM I resent that.

highglossfinish 08:57 PM You know it's true.

Starscreamillar 08:57 PM Just because it's true does not mean I have to like it.

thenightetc 08:57 PM There, there.

thenightetc 08:58 PM Wait... is his buddy like 7?

Thebes 08:58 PM wow. WOW

Starscreamillar 08:59 PM Oh no...Oh it just keeps getting worse.

thenightetc 08:59 PM Jeez

highglossfinish 08:59 PM Somehow, it just keeps getting worse.

Thebes 09:00 PM what a mature, parental response

Starscreamillar 09:01 PM Is this just ghostly mischief because some idiots said nonsense at a random grave? That's the whole movie?

thenightetc 09:01 PM Guys.

Starscreamillar 09:01 PM And then they were killed by a train.

highglossfinish 09:01 PM While surf music plays.

thenightetc 09:01 PM Don't play chicken with a train.

thenightetc 09:01 PM It can't stop.

Thebes 09:02 PM WE HAVE WORM SIIIIGN

highglossfinish 09:02 PM This is a horrible town full of unpleasant people and I want to see every last one of them dead.

thenightetc 09:02 PM Er...

thenightetc 09:02 PM So it can possess multiple people?

thenightetc 09:03 PM Walk without rhythm!

Starscreamillar 09:03 PM That is an unrealistically spacious grave.

highglossfinish joined the party.

thenightetc 09:04 PM Look, sometimes you just have to spring for the extra large coffin.

highglossfinish 09:05 PM One of the perks of kast was that I never had to worry about losing the stream chat, and yet here we are.

thenightetc 11:05 PM I've got it.

thenightetc 11:05 PM No worries!

thenightetc 11:06 PM "Sure, I COULD go missing for our missing children, but what if I DIED?"

highglossfinish 11:06 PM Scratch that, I no longer hate humans.

thenightetc 11:07 PM Ohhh dear

highglossfinish 11:07 PM I can see why this was never aired again, but not because it was in any way frightening.

thenightetc 11:07 PM Same.

Starscreamillar 11:08 PM Why is not a strong enough word for this.

highglossfinish 11:08 PM Nothing about any of this is right.

thenightetc 11:08 PM Wut.

thenightetc 11:09 PM "You know.  For a dead guy."

thenightetc 11:10 PM Sure, whine about the cost AFTER you've gotten the service.

Starscreamillar 11:10 PM Stiffing the funeral home seems like a good way to get tossed in a pauper's grave when it's your turn.

thenightetc 11:11 PM Ha.

thenightetc 11:11 PM You called it.

thenightetc 11:11 PM "well, it said 'muller' right on the tombstone"

highglossfinish 11:12 PM ...

thenightetc 11:12 PM Wow.  Who could have guessed.

Thebes 11:13 PM oh, it SOUNDS bad, does it

Thebes 11:13 PM SEEMS LEGIT

Starscreamillar 11:13 PM Raising the dead caused a problem... surely raising more dead will make things better!

thenightetc 11:13 PM f

thenightetc 11:14 PM "what did HE say happened"

thenightetc 11:15 PM So he's just going to leave it at that, huh, not going to give his side

thenightetc 11:15 PM with the bull and the train and all

Starscreamillar 11:16 PM We know he is evil, he was watching atomic explosions for fun.

Starscreamillar 11:17 PM That is stupid.

highglossfinish 11:18 PM All of this is stupid.

thenightetc 11:18 PM Surely the reason not to cut too close to the stone is that you could damage the blade or cause an accident

Starscreamillar 11:19 PM Please, murder him with a paperclip. It would be funny.

Starscreamillar 11:20 PM Drat.

thenightetc 11:22 PM Wait, why not have the older guy do it

thenightetc 11:22 PM watch the ROAD, idiot

Starscreamillar 11:23 PM What even is this movie?

thenightetc 11:23 PM Also, guys.  It's a hearse.  There is probably only one in town.

thenightetc 11:24 PM It is very recognizable, is what I'm saying.

highglossfinish 11:24 PM This movie has very little to do with a baby ghost.

thenightetc 11:24 PM Damn, is everyone in town possessed by an evil ghost

thenightetc 11:25 PM That's fair.

thenightetc 11:26 PM Oh shit, are they going to get the cop hit by the train

Starscreamillar 11:27 PM How convenient.

thenightetc 11:27 PM Yeah but your brother was already a shithead.

Starscreamillar 11:28 PM Hit him with the car.

rose110 joined the party.

thenightetc 11:29 PM But this is like... a cornfield?

thenightetc 11:29 PM Wouldn't it get cut every year?

LetsCum joined the party.

thenightetc 11:30 PM Let's not.

thenightetc 11:30 PM I love how the harvester was just... ready to go.

thenightetc 11:31 PM f

Starscreamillar 11:31 PM Swathers love the taste of human meat.

thenightetc 11:31 PM God, it's like they're going to start a musical number.

Thebes 11:31 PM oh, right, teen girl squad.

thenightetc 11:32 PM "uh, the evil ghost that is clearly possessing all of you"

highglossfinish 11:32 PM This is uncomfortable.

thenightetc 11:33 PM Very

thenightetc 11:34 PM God, what if the magic plant in question was like, the tree

thenightetc 11:34 PM Good luck pulling THAT up!

Starscreamillar 11:37 PM Who wrote this, and why did they think it was a good idea?

thenightetc 11:38 PM lol really

Thebes 11:38 PM I could not begin to guess

thenightetc 11:39 PM "why, does it look like something happened"

highglossfinish 11:40 PM Charming.

highglossfinish 11:40 PM And very stable.

thenightetc 11:40 PM What a great sibling relationship.

Starscreamillar 11:40 PM That would be murder.

Starscreamillar 11:41 PM And this was a weird movie. Even for awful children's movies.

highglossfinish 11:41 PM I don't think the world was missing much when this was considered a "lost film."

highglossfinish 11:42 PM Hmm, Let's Game it Out seems to be on a hiatus. Any suggestions to close on?

Thebes 11:42 PM what's the bakery that only brrings pain

thenightetc 11:43 PM Also, https://pastebin.com/rMN8akyA

highglossfinish 11:44 PM Thank you!

thenightetc 11:47 PM See?  It's thematic!

Thebes 11:47 PM they're just trolling him, aren't they.

highglossfinish 11:48 PM Dear Unicron.

thenightetc 11:49 PM I'll BET it was popular.

Starscreamillar 11:49 PM Ken is wearing a lot of eyeshadow.

highglossfinish 11:50 PM I'll say.

thenightetc 11:50 PM They invited two out of those three back.

highglossfinish 11:52 PM That one's Smokescreen.

thenightetc 11:52 PM Gotta specify it's a dry kiss.

highglossfinish 11:53 PM Very important.

highglossfinish 11:54 PM Amazing.

thenightetc 11:54 PM Right?

Thebes 11:55 PM did we ever end up watching the second What's That Name skit?

Thebes 11:55 PM Norman the Doorman

Thebes 11:56 PM omg

thenightetc 11:56 PM Well, there WAS a terrible sequel.

Thebes 11:57 PM also, we are getting a cartoon prologue

highglossfinish 11:57 PM Are we really?

thenightetc 11:57 PM Oh... good........

highglossfinish 11:57 PM That could certainly go either way.

Starscreamillar 11:57 PM Indeed..

highglossfinish 11:57 PM "Jaws-like movie."

Thebes 11:58 PM apparently it's about the adventures of young shop owner and how he comes into possession of Gizmo and supernatural shenanigans

thenightetc 11:58 PM Oh!

Starscreamillar 11:58 PM .... Hmm.

thenightetc 11:58 PM Up for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3Zq4Zbsrj8 ?

highglossfinish 11:59 PM Absolutely!

thenightetc 11:59 PM Yessss.

highglossfinish 12:00 AM I like where this is going.

thenightetc 12:01 AM This is what I intend to attempt the very instant I have a computer that can run Planet Coaster

thenightetc 12:02 AM I like the river of blood.

highglossfinish 12:02 AM I'm liking the stock photos.

Thebes 12:03 AM it's the exact right lack of fucks to give.

thenightetc 12:07 AM They're here for the cotton candy.

highglossfinish 12:07 AM Who wouldn't be?

thenightetc 12:09 AM Banker: so what do you need this loan for

Starscreamillar 12:09 AM Goo.

thenightetc 12:10 AM Could enjoy.  You know, theoretically.

highglossfinish 12:10 AM On paper.

Thebes 12:11 AM possibly

thenightetc 12:12 AM My god.

highglossfinish 12:14 AM Stuffs.

thenightetc 12:15 AM Oh god.

thenightetc 12:17 AM You don't even have to take away the ladder!

highglossfinish 12:17 AM How efficient!

highglossfinish 12:17 AM "The most exciting thing since T."

thenightetc 12:19 AM

thenightetc 12:19 AM Can't imagine why someone would be nauseous from being turned upside down over and over for an hour!

highglossfinish 12:20 AM It's a mystery!

thenightetc 12:21 AM Not to actually ride it, of course.  They just want to look at it.

thenightetc 12:22 AM There IS.

thenightetc 12:26 AM Heh.

highglossfinish 12:27 AM This is fantastic.

Starscreamillar 12:28 AM Excellently evil.

thenightetc 12:28 AM It really is.

thenightetc 12:30 AM If you do, it's the shark tank for you.

highglossfinish 12:31 AM Planet Coaster doesn't let you do this and therefore it's not worth the time or money.

Starscreamillar 12:31 AM Tsk tsk.

highglossfinish 12:31 AM Well, that was amazing!

thenightetc 12:32 AM It WAS.

highglossfinish 12:33 AM Well, that was a perfect note to end the night on.

Starscreamillar 12:33 AM I agree. Thank you for streaming, it was good to catch the madness once again.

thenightetc 12:33 AM Yes, thank you for hosting!

highglossfinish 12:33 AM Thank you for coming!

highglossfinish 12:34 AM You're a saint.

thenightetc 12:34 AM Do you have the rest?  It doesn't seem to disappear for me.

highglossfinish 12:35 AM I do!

thenightetc 12:35 AM Good, good.

thenightetc 12:35 AM Goodnight, then!

highglossfinish 12:37 AM Good night!

Thebes 12:37 AM good night!

@akingdomtheorist

So! Ridiculous conversation that’s gonna strike me as funny for the next week, probably. Which I could definitely use, but whatever. Thought I’d amuse you with it since your cupcake started it, lol.

keyofshadows Tomorrow's Eli's birthday. Confetti for all.

akingdomtheorist Adion will make him a cupcake

keyofshadows Awe. He'd be touched. And Adion would get a hug. Also one of those pointy birthday hats.

akingdomtheorist What if the cupcake was shaped like a pointy birthday hat

keyofshadows Pfffff he'd demand to know if the dragon was conspiring with his mom. She used to sew him a replica of Yen Sid's hat every few years and make him wear it on his birthday while she took pictures. From his literal 'I'm twenty minutes old' birthday until he was eighteen. IS THIS POINTY BIRTHDAY HAT CAKE A REFERENCE TO HIS HAT NEMESIS

sstingray yen sid knows about the hats

keyofshadows Is he amused or shaking his head because what is wrong with these people

sstingray secretly amused but won't show it is my wager

keyofshadows I wonder how much Eli was complaining under his breath about it during his lovely summer of responsibility training also I wonder how many dirty looks he was giving Yen Sid's hat while the man was wearing it because whoops

sstingray the master probably noticed it and said something to him eventually.

keyofshadows lmao. "It's not you Sir, honest! It's just...uh...nothing, actually, never mind, I'm supposed to be mopping or something, better get back to that." /slinks off because oh my god, explaining to Yen Sid about the Hat when he has no idea he already knows, pfff. Poor Eli.

sstingray not pictured: ray in the background trying really hard not to laugh

keyofshadows Oh sure, enjoy your amusement now, he'll get you back for it. Someday. Somehow. Maybe. She can babysit his eventual demonspawn, that'll do it. ...Which would be more of a punishment to the kids, actually.

sstingray and she'll get just as much fun out of that as she did watching him

keyofshadows Okay, we totally know what we're doing with Auryn when he misbehaves. Off to aunt Ray's for a pop quiz!

sstingray secretly gives him cookies when they're not looking

keyofshadows Ray's gonna end up with a kid that mouths off just to be sent for 'punishment', you know. Though he'll be more of an actual pain in the ass as a teenager. Amelia says don't worry about that, she and Nico will knock him into shape. With his own Keyblade, if necessary.

sstingray but eli she is not a tool to punish your children with! gosh!!

sstingray well if he misbehaves TOO badly he'll still learn not to cross her

keyofshadows The Grasshopper knows this. But really, it's Date Night and he and Specter really wanted to have some quiet movie time that didn't involve Auryn yelling in the background from upstairs. I should probably feel bad for Ray having to deal with the next generation of troublemakers, but nope. Too busy snickering.

sstingray it's fine they'll watch a movie that eli doesn't want him to see

keyofshadows Which would probably be anything with drunk elephants. Dumbo is Evil. So is Bambi, but for completely different reasons.

sstingray well. if auryn is up for it...

keyofshadows This is Eli's punk firstborn, of course he is.

sstingray welp. pink elephants on parade it is!

keyofshadows And Ray then gets to field ALL the questions, like how can elephants get drunk, and why isn't HE even allowed more than a can of soda a day if whatever Dumbo had was worse - wait, was that elephant beer? Or did he drink funny water? And if he drinks too much soda is he gonna see pink elephants too? Is THAT why he's not allowed too much? Can he have a few cans and find out?

sstingray fermentation is a terrible thing, you're too young kid, maybe idk but i saw this video once of elephants eating fermented fruits and getting totally trashed, honestly who even knows anymore, no, no it's because you'll get a sugar high and it's also terrible for your health, and no

keyofshadows He is completely unhappy with all of these answers, he'll have you know. Except the trashed elephant video, he wants to see that. BUT. He's gonna complain to Nico first (who will tell him to Listen To Aunt Ray She Knows More Than Them) and then he'll go home and whine at his dad BECAUSE AUNT RAY IS BEING UNFAIR FIX THIS

keyofshadows Eli just snickering and yeah, no, you have no idea of the meaning of 'unfair' when it comes to her, short stuff, sorry.

sstingray eli's probably like "that's what she does there is nothing i can do"

keyofshadows Nor does he wish to try, he's too old for another Darkside/Twilight Thorn/Who Knows What That Is pop quiz. He has kids now! (He's never too old, lmao. Kai'll boot him over for laughs.)

sstingray in which kai accidentally initiates a game of corridor ping pong with eli as the ball

keyofshadows Pfff. Kai says he thought he was going to get into trouble for booting the Epic Dork through Corridors, or does that only count when he's kicking him into the Maw?

sstingray nnnnno he'll probably be in trouble for it later but aunt ray has a life too you know she can't deal with your antics all the time!! there are seas to be sailed! treasures to be found! magics to learn!

keyofshadows Good, then can she take Soren with, he needs a way to deal with him this week that A - Does not involve setting his sneakers on fire AGAIN and B - Keeps Ro from rescuing him. Little brother gets seasick, little brother won't be warping over to pick him up. ...The maturity is astounding.

sstingray just for that she'll kick kai into the ocean

keyofshadows This is punishment how? He can swim. Also will probably open a Corridor and drop into it before he hits the water because he's a little shit.

sstingray either way he's off her ship so she'll count it as a win

sstingray not if she kicks him into her own portal and drops him right above the water

keyofshadows This is how you make enemies, Ray. (lmao, as if he'd do more than sulk for a few days before showing up again to get cookies/ask a favor/see what she thinks is a good present for Ro's birthday)

sstingray puhlease she'll take kai on pirate adventures someday

keyofshadows Do we really want a Keyblade wielder pretending to be a pirate. Or even just on the ship for longer than thirty seconds. (Yes.)

sstingray um duh?? how fun could that be

keyofshadows Kai's pointing out it should be Keyblade MASTER by that time, get it right. This from Mr. 'There's no way I'd ever be that good' who eventually is because whoops, Auryn's training is filled with fetching the chips Mastery Exams. I didn't know that traumatizing was another word for fun.

sstingray isn't that the epitome of everyone's time with their favorite aunt

keyofshadows There was just a resounding 'YES', so.

sstingray well there you go!

keyofshadows /snicker

keyofshadows The pirate thing is gonna turn into tradition, just like Ray taking on Eli as an apprentice started that ball rolling for him. She should pop on by one of the rabbit holes of Wanderer's Refuge again and see if she can land anywhere near Fen's time again. Be greeted by a slightly older (no more than 18, probably) Az, who happily informs her about how she's 'retraining' Celia's apprentice Seth, much to her dad's horror. Probably much to Ray's too, lol. 'Wait, wasn't he the boy that kept going creeper on you? That you hated? WHAT ARE YOU DOING'

sstingray no no its not a bad thing retraining is good

sstingray show him the light girl you go though lol god forbid ray ever have kids and they get mixed up with eli's family that's just gonna be chaos everywhere

keyofshadows Fen asks Ray to PLEASE not encourage his baby, he doesn't like Seth, he doesn't trust him, how does he know he's not going back to Celia and telling her things AZ IS NOT READY FOR THIS STUFF. OMG

sstingray also how would even feel about ray showing up again Oh welp

keyofshadows SO MUCH CHAOS.

sstingray that's the thing about light fen, sometimes you just gotta trust someone

keyofshadows Also no one minds Ray's random drop-ins, she's the Refs boogieman, after all.

sstingray and maybe put a tracker on them u know whatever works

keyofshadows He refuses to trust Seth, he's a little shit.

sstingray excellent her legend will live on

keyofshadows Az'll threaten her kids with Ray popping out of nowhere, just for the entertainment value.

sstingray I have a feeling her hypothetical family would get on great in the chaos tho lmao az can be like IT HAPPENS. A LOT ACTUALLY. we should probably do something about that

keyofshadows Just like how she's naming her firstborn son Jalen, also for the entertainment value. She can hear the grumping from the original through the rabbit hole, lmfao.

sstingray listen ray never asked to be an accidental time traveler it's weird ok

keyofshadows Also hilarious

sstingray she'll be sure to tell Jalen that when she gets back

keyofshadows The kid's gonna be the bounciest, most cheerful baby ever. /cackle

sstingray Oh how delightful!

keyofshadows Az thinks so~

keyofshadows Fen's twitching now because apparently Az is over her crush on Leo and he'd actually rather she go drool over the grease-covered boy Not From Here as opposed to the direction she's looking in. /facepalm

sstingray he could always come back :v

keyofshadows Imagine Fen trying to convince Leo to distract his daughter from the weirdo she's currently 'retraining'. For her own good, of course, not his nerves. /dies

sstingray leo is like whoa that is none of my business dude. slowly backs away.

keyofshadows Az is just smirking. Ha ha dad. But hey, nice to see you Leo, still eating sandwiches out of that toolbelt of yours? Somebody made rice krispy treats if he wants any.

sstingray great now that he gets to see her again, yes, and y e s where can find them?!

keyofshadows lol. Just opens a Light corridor and hands him a whole plateful.

sstingray !!! did he ever tell her he loves her cause he totally does

keyofshadows OH GOOD WAY TO START OFF THE AWKWARD BLUSHING LEO THANKS

sstingray thumbs up!!

keyofshadows Fen's trying not to applaud. Go away, you, quit trying to influence things. His wife would swat him.

Just Friends (part 17)

My parents and I have arrived at our house in England. I love this house, it's full of childhood memories. Like the time I caught my finger in the door and Josh shut the door, causing my finger to break. Fun times. "So the boys are here around 6, and every one is coming round in an hour or so." My mum informs my dad and I. "What's the time now?" I ask. "Half four." My dad answers for her. I nod and text Luke saying I got here safely, because I kinda forgot to tell him (even thouh he was on my mind the whole flight), I guess I was busy with unpacking. Me: hey sorry I forgot to text you when we got here, I was busy. X Luke: its fine :) when are you going to see everyone? X Me: well it's half  four now, and they are coming in an hour or so, the boys are coming at 6. It must be around 2 or something there. Am I keeping you awake? X Luke: no, can't sleep. You jet lagged? X Me: a bit, but I slept most of the flight. X Luke and I continue to talk for half an hour before he decided to go to bed (and me nagging him to). "I'm going to go freshen up." I say, because I'm in a hoodie and some sweatpants. I change into a cropped sweatshirt and some jeans. Putting on some light make up and brushing my hair through, I spray some perfume to finish. I've got 15 minutes so I'll paint my nails. Looking through all my nail polish, I decide to go with black. I buy so many different colours, yet I always seem to go for black. Eh 10 minutes later I'm done and they are all dry. I fucked one up though, I'm quite good at painting them, I just don't have the patience. Going down the stairs and walking into the kitchen. Grabbing an apple and a knife, I walk to the lounge again. "Prison Break huh?" I ask my dad. "Yeah, I was planning on taking some notes." He jokes and I laugh slightly. "Funny." I sarcastically reply. I cut a slice of apple and putting it my mouth. "Door!" I call out. "You couldn't possibly get it?" My mum huffs as she walks in. "My legs broke." "Lazy cow." She mutters. "Heard that!" I shout out to her. "Hello!" I hear loads of people cheer. Suddenly realising that I have a huge family, a lot of cousins, it's only me, Evie, Josh, and Angus that are the older ones. My mother and father had me and my brother's quite young, as well as Evie's parents. I have loads of small children cousins. Everyone was around my grandparents house and then they all came here. As dad has joined us again this Christmas, we have even more people. My mum and I cooked a load of food before hand, well some of it is still cooking. I walk towards the door, where everyone is take off their coats and shit. "Hello." I greet. "Harper! How are you?" My grandmother asks. "I'm good thanks, you?" I reply. "I'm very well, thank you. It still amazes me at how beautiful are, I swear you get even more beautiful every time I see you! Long legs, lovely hair, beautiful body shape." My grandma gushes. "Aww grandma stop!" I smile in embarrassment. "All the boys must be all over you!" She winks. A certain boy comes to mind, causing my face break into a huge smile. "Well, I have my moments." I joke. She laughs and walks through. "Har Har!" My cousin Toby beams as he attaches himself to my legs. "Hello." I say poking his little stomach. My other cousin Emily latches onto my legs as well. "Babe, I can't hold both of you." I tell her. "Well I could, but I don't want." "Why do I attract children?" I ask my aunt Lauren. "Because you are so kind and caring." She smiles. Lauren walks past me, "and keep them with you for a while, they've been latched onto me all afternoon." She whispers into my ear. "You evil son of a-" "Children around." She cuts me off. Reuben and Lilly walk off with Lauren, so I'm left with Toby in my arms and Emily at my feet. "Oh fine, c'mere." I give in and scoop up Emily and we walk off towards the lounge. "Aww look." My mum cooes. I roll my eyes and put toby and Emily down. Sitting down on the floor, because all the seats are taken. Reuben picks up the knife, I had for my apple. "No!" I quickly say and take it of him. Deciding I'm done with it, I walk into the kitchen and put it in the bin. "So Harper, how is life in Australia?" My uncle Robert asks as I walk in. "Um, same old really. School is quite busy, hanging out with friends." I answer as Lilly plays with my hair. "Oh, how is Luke and um the others?" Lauren questions. "Umm, they are good, they are all going on tour in March, we're all excited for that." I reply. "I would've done anything to be friends with a band when I was younger. Just seeing them in their element." My grandpa chimes in. "It is nice, seeing the people you love be so happy." I smile and bite my lip remembering all the fun times we've all had. Everyone drifts into a conversation about their childhood, and all the retro stuff they had. A piece of paper is thrust upon me by Emily. "What do you want me to do with this?" I chuckle. "Draw." She demands. "Dance monkey, dance." I joke. I pick up a coloured pencil and start doodling. Why do I seem to attract all the children? They're constantly poking me, playing with my hair, making me play games. Don't get me wrong, I love them to bits, why me? Why not aunt Lauren? After 15 minutes of drawing, I lay on the floor letting out a groan. I'm too tired for this. Hopefully Evie and the boys will be here soon, so I can 'play' with them. "Is it hard work having four kids prodding you and making you play imaginary games?" Lauren questions in amusement. "Yes, but it's not as bad because I'm just colouring and being poked." I her. "Like why do they keep poking me with pencils making me spaz out?" I claim. "Well, I have to deal with it 24/7." She laughs. I hear the sound of a camera shutter going off, and I groan. "Why?" I half-heartedly chuckle. "Because it's funny." My mum says. I roll over onto my side (very sociable with my back towards everyone) and pull my phone out, scrolling through instagram. "Kids these days." I hear someone mutter. "Heard that." I mumble. "The three other devils will be here in a couple of minutes." My mum informs everyone. "Oh my God, the four of them all together. Prepare for some sass, moody teenagers, and anti-sociable teens." Robert says. "Hey we aren't that bad." I defend turning over. "Pfff, yeah right." My dad adds. I roll my eyes and get a drink. "Plus the others aren't teenagers." I call over my shoulder. The doorbell goes off and I race towards it, I need some people my own age. "Josh!" I grin. "Hey lil' sis." He greets. I roll my eyes and hug him anyway. "I'm glad your here, I need people my age." I sigh. "I take it a bunch or 3 to 6 year olds aren't doing it for you?" Evie questions as I pull her into a hug. "Nope." I reply. "Har Har!" Angus teases. "The amount of times I've been called that this afternoon." I shake my head head, and Angus pulls me into a hug. We all walk through to the lounge, and a bunch of kids come running towards us. Everyone says their hellos and gives out hugs. "Right, let's get seating arrangements sorted." My mum says to the adults. Us four go into the the lounge. "So how was Dubai?" Evie asks. "I saw your Instagram, and it looked really cool." Josh adds. "Yeah, it was really nice. Luke and I had been drifting apart, and it brought us closer together, well I think at least." I say replaying the moment Luke and I kissed. "Yeah, that picture your mum posted on her Instagram, was well... you tell me." Evie smirks. "Since when did mum have social media at all?" I panick. Angus pulls his phone out and shows me, I scroll through it. "So that's where those people have been getting those pictures." I realise. I look at the photo, and its me facing Luke and sitting on his lap, with my arms resting on his shoulders, and Luke's hands on my waist. I mean, it looks cute. "So what's going there, Harps?" Josh smirks. "For the last time, we are just friends." I huff. It's true we are just friends at this moment in time. "Yep." Evie hums. I roll my eyes. "So how's uni?" I ask. "Really busy, I've got a couple of pieces of 'home work' to do whilst I'm home." Josh replys. "We went to this crazy party, the other weekend and we all got smashed." Angus tells me." "Dude! Why did you tell her?" Josh scolds. "It's not like Harper hasn't gotten wasted before." Angus points out. "Eh, I've had my moments." I admit. "I bet you drunkenly made out Luke, or at least one of the boys." Evie laughs. "Oh my God, your worse than the fans." I laugh. "She definitely ships you two, like her life depends on it." Josh pokes at Evie. "I just think they'd be cute together." She shrugs. "You've only met him like three times." I claim. "Harps, pass the remote." Josh asks, extending his hand out. "Catch." I tell him and throw it at him but it hits Evie in the head. "Shit! Ouch!" Evie shouts. "Still after 17, nearly 18 years, you still can't throw for shit." Angus teases. "Shut up, it's not my fault Evie has a big head." I laugh. "Bitch." She mutters. "Bish." A little voice says. I look down and see Lilly. "No, don't say that. It's a bad word." Evie scolds. "But you said it." She says. "Like to watch how this pans out." I laugh. "Well, I'm a grow-" Evie gets cut off by Lilly running off screaming "bish!" I love children's pronunciation. I quickly get up and chase after her. "What are you doing, you little rascal." I laugh as scoop her up. "Harper!" She squeals. I put her down and she runs off towards her parents. Laughing as I walk with her into the kitchen. "How long till dinner?" I ask. "In a couple of minutes, so go sit down." My mum says as if I'm a child. Walking towards the others and picking up my phone. "Mum wants us to sit down." I tell them. They all nod and stand up. Angus walks up to me and turns around. "What are you doing?" I chuckle. "Jump on." He orders and lowers himself a bit. I scream at first and then burst into a fit of laughter. "Now I get on." Josh jokes as he clutches my shoulders. "No!" I warn. "It feels like Christmas." Evie claims. "Yeah, but that's not until 5 days." I point out. "Angus what are you doing?" I ask. He doesn't saying anything besides just dropping on to the sofa. "Fuck you." I laugh. "Aww." He teases but brings me into a hug, I shrug him off and walk towards the table. "Where are we sitting?" Josh asks Lauren. "That table." She point to a small table with four chairs around. "Guys, I think Lauren got the wrong table." Evie snickers as she sits at the children's table. I burst out laughing, because her knees are nearly by her shoulders. I sit next to her and the boys join us. Getting my phone, and taking a picture. "We are so weird." Josh chuckles. I stand up and sit at the suitable table. "How is Emily and Toby supposed to eat on their own?" Angus wonders. "They're three years old, I think they can manage." I answer. Emily and Toby are twins who are 3, Lilly is 5, and Reuben is the oldest being 6. After a couple of minutes of us all on our phones Josh speaks up "I thought we were supposed to be eating." "Well, while we wait, I'll put some music on." I reason. I start playing I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday by Wizzard. *** Many Christmas songs, meaningless conversations, and stuffed stomachs later, dinner is over. Evie and I are sprawled out on an armchair, all the others are either on a sofa or the floor. All the children are sleepy and its really cute. "Can you pass me my phone." I ask Evie. She hums a yes and reaches out for my phone on the table behind her. "Thanks." I smile and unlock my phone. Finding I have a missed call from the one and only Michael Clifford. Calling him back, because you know, it's polite. "Hey, what's up?" I ask as I walk into the kitchen, because I don't want disrupt anyone. "What did you do to Luke?" He dives straight in. "Elaborate." I tell him. "Ever since he's come back, he's been a smiley dork." He chuckles. "Isn't he anyway?" I laugh. "Yeah but even more so. Whatever you did, please do it again, because I like it. Luke's been an arse for past month, and it gets annoying after a while." He claims. Don't have to ask me to do it again. "I didn't do anything, but I'm glad he's happy." I reply. "I can hear your smirk from across the world." He tells me. "No you can't, I've got to go now, bye." I say. "Okay, but I know your hiding something, bye, speak to you later." He finishes off. "Believe what you want Mike." I giggle and end the call. "Who was that?" My mum asks. "Michael." I answer sitting back down. She nods and goes back to watching some soap opera. I go through the pictures on my phone of Dubai. "Look at this picture of Luke with a fish, and how proud he is." I tell Evie. When we went to the aquarium the first time and a fish seemed to be attracted to him (don't blame it), and he seemed so proud of himself. She laughs and goes back to her phone. Around an hour later, we are all saying our goodbyes. They're going to be coming back tomorrow or something though. "Bye!" I say as the door closes. "I'm going to bed because I'm tired as fuck." I tell anyone who's listening.

This fanbase amazes me sometimes. There were a couple of times in the story where Alina asked Mifuyu to be the model for her art but somehow fans turned that into Alina forcing Mifuyu to pose nude and sometimes go as far as implying she sexually harasses the latter and there's plenty of fan art about that too. I mean geez, I don't like Alina but this little headcannon is turning her into something she's not just to satisfy the fandom's perversion. Its perverted Homura all over again.

PFFF HAHAHAHAHA  What? COME ON PEOPLE!

I mean...what the hell? I agree with you, out of all the things Alina can do to be evil, painting MIfuyu as one her french girls is not one of them, what the fuck? How did they come up with that? To me it seems someone got horny with that scene, tried to draw it and then the others got freaked out and this is how it all started...all because of someone’s weird masturbation fantasy.I know MIfiyu is kind of atractive but come on, cool down, go masturbate to whatever MagiReco doujin you find and then come back all grounded and liberated from the temptations of the lewd magical teenagers again (At least Mifuyu is an adult)

This is why sexual repression is not a good thing.

Bang! Zoom! Would You look at that Chapter One

If anyone would ask, John would say he's a perfectly normal kid with a healthy interest in magic tricks and terrible movies, just like other kids have hobbies they stick to. He might be able to do unexplained things time to time, but he will forever wave it off as a trick by the winds, because anything else is just silly! What more is silly is that he's hanging outside Dave's locker, grinning widely as he just pranked his friend by tossing a stink bomb inside his locker. He should be back just in time to open the door and be attacked by the rotten scent!

Dave let out a sigh as he made his way through the hallway. It was a sea of teenage angst and body odor at the moment. He noticed John standing next to his locker. "yo egderp why are you hanging there for?" he asked.

"Thought I'd wait for you! Nice, right?" the other male really tries to contain his grin and look at least a little innocent, but he wasn't born with any trace of poker face.

Instead John just grins widely and adjusts his backpack. "Thought that we could hang out or something, I got no homework this time." "Well lucky for you I don't have any either and you pranked the wrong locker." the blond said bending down and opening the locker underneath. "So how was you last class?"

".... Oh man! Your kidding me?-- How did you even know?" John  laughs but looks around, at last grabbing Dave lightly by the shoulder to shake him. "Shh let's just hurry before the owner of wrong locker gets here! Hurry man, hurry!"

"Dude we have been friends for how long?" Dave asked slamming the locker shut. He stood up and began walking away. The blonde didn't take notice that it felt like it was going in slow motion for the other people around him. "Come on egderp quit taking so long." He said looking at the other.

"I just didn't pay atte-- stop doing that!" For once, he huffs in irritation as his friend did this flash step thing again, and he had to squeeze through the crowd of people to catch up with him.

"Doing what I am just walking." He said waiting for the other to catch up. The rest of the student body started moving at a normal pace. Pushing against the two.  "Come on dude i got a mad craving for some coffee and tacos."

"You don't need coffee, you hyped up you can fly away into space already." He at last caught up with him and pushed him to outside the building. As soon as he's free he sighs happily as a sudden wind ruffles at their hair.

"Dude i am planning an all nighter of mixing. Unless you want to stay over tonight?" He asked walking towards Starbucks.

"Why not? But why do you insist with all nighters all the time?" He pouts thoughtfully as he takes out his wallet to look over his economy. "Oh-- we can have a movie or a game marathon!"

"They call to me and I am feeling Mario Kart." He says before walking up and placing his order. Once his order was placed he pulled out his card and waited for the guy to scan it.

"Pfff, fine! You can't win forever!" He grins wide and orders his coffee, paying after Dave and waiting for his cup.  "Yeah I can." Dave replied walking out after he had gotten his coffee.  

"Nnnope!" John grins at the challenge and drinks of his coffee, jumping as it's once again too hot to be drinking. "Or we can play Mario party, I'm better at that!" "Bro broke the disc." He said rolling his eyes behind his shades. He lead the way towards his apartment building. "So you staying over? We will have the place to ourselves."

"Noooo why did he break it- oh, we do? Then we can order pizza!" Seeing that he rarely eats that, he grins widely as he follows after his friend and hopes that the elevator works this time.

"Because I beat him in six games. Yeah pizza it is." Dave says heading towards the stairs.

"Elevator is broken."

"Again?!" He groans and glares at the iron doors before walking up the steps. 

"Stairs, are dumb, why don't you repair the elevator? Its been broken for years!"

"Right let me call the guy who fixes that shit, though i don't know Spanish so it gonna be a little hard to talk to the dude. Just suck it up and deal with the stairs." He said finally making it to their floor.

"Ughhh!" He groans as he finally gets up and leans onto the wall. "Stairs, are evil. Dibs for the couch!"

"Enjoy the puppet ass then." He says unlocking the apartment door. He walked inside and tossed his backpack near the front door. "Well you coming in or not princess?"

John walks inside and into the kitchen, hesitating before trying to find a cup without setting any traps off. "I'm in! Hey, do you have any milk yet or just silly swords?"

"I dunno check the fridge." He called out from the living room setting up the game. John  hums and does as he's told, careful to not get swords all over him as he successfully achieves a glass of milk and flops down in the couch after, grinning as he takes up all of the space there. Dave looks at him with a raised eyebrow and sat down on the floor tossing the controller at John.  The brunet chuckles under his breath and drinks of the milk, just to frown and sniff at it and put it aside. Probably a while after it's due date. "Okay, game on! Boo, i choose you!"

Dave chose his racer and started the game. As he got close to losing the game started glitching. "Again another one." he groaned. The blonde got up and changed the disc and pushed John softly. "hey shouldn't you be getting home soon?" Dave asked after he sat back down. "I dunno, what's the time?" John looks at the tv and hums, starting to grow tired as he usually went to bed quite early.  

"huh thats strange, the clock might be broken because it says its still 5:30." The younger Strider answered. "Wait, you guessed wrong about the time?" John grins and sits up to look at his friend. "That's a first! I thought you were a human clock or something!"

"I didn't guess wrong. The time is 8:30 pm dude." Dave sighed out before saying, "I was just saying that the main clock is out of wack again."

"Oh... That makes sense!" John smiles and gets up to reach for the clock. "You should get a new one, this one sucks! ... Hey aren't bro usually at home by now?"

"Yeah normally texts me if he is running late." The  younger Strider mumbled looking at his phone. "Weird.. Dad hasn't texted either-- damn, what happened with our overprotective parents?" The brunet grins and walks to the kitchen, looking for more milk. "Maybe they are letting us spread our wings... wait scratch that bro says he is on his way." Dave said reading the text message. "Way to get my hopes up!" The other male grins and shrugs, remembering now that the milk was pretty old and put it back "I guess I should head home then."

"Yeah, I'll walk you out of the apartment. Its gonna take bro five minutes and twenty two seconds to make it up here." Dave said waiting for John at the door.  

"It just ta-- how do you know that, geez." John shakes his head and takes his stuff, looking at the stairs with a scowl. "I just do." The younger Strider  answered heading for the elevator.

"Its working now." Dave called out to John. "Seriously? Sweet!" The dark haired teen smiles wide at this and hops over, pressing the button to call it there as he looks at his phone. Soon he starts to look worried, his dad hasn't replied yet.

"Something up?" He asked looking at the other. The blonde could tell that John was upset about something. "Yeah, probably nothing..." John replies as he puts the phone back and scratches his neck, trying to avoid an answer as it was pretty silly.

Dave shurgs and waits for the other to leave the elevator. "Well... I'll see you tomorrow?" He smiles at him as he steps out, back turned against the lobby. "Bye see ya online." He said. Dave shoved his hands in his pockets and walked towards the stairs."Sure!" John smiles as he walks out, heading home.
