talk about vampires
NJDBEINFIA
-tragedy where one in a pair of childhood friends that would be friends to lovers but one becomes a vampire and has to reject their friend because 'bro I don't age' (sssshhh yes this was the plot of a southpark fanfic shhhhhh)
-charlotte my beloved Charlotte my beloved Charlotte my beloved
-OH WAIT SO RECENTLY I got my hands on the nendoroid doll 'Mila' she's adorable an perfect and ima draw her sometime and low-key steal her and make her my OC
-I was gonna watch 'the vexations of the shut in vampire princess' but then they tried to pull the 'vampire that doesn't drink blood' thing on me so now I'm procrastinating, I'll probably watch it evveuntually though cause the animations nice
-vampire bf and human gf except nothing like how the trope ussually goes is my favorite, like I want human gf to be eccentric and loud and flirty and vampire bf is just flustered and shy and 'just some guy' coded
-I have a list of vampire short story ideas someday I wanna make a comic anthology out of them
-vampire x cosplayer, vampire wants to try out makeup and cosplayer helps them, vampire overcomes insecurity with the power of 'I feel pretty cute rn'
-vampire mad scientist is such a slept on concept I mean mad scientists already often have the 'there are doing something dubious to lengthen their length span' vibe so really why not vampire mad scientist I am begging the universe please I want vampire mad scientist
-some solid vampire media is the webtoon 'vampire husband' which the premise is a vampire and his human wife who is now an old lady. It's silly, it actually works in the webtoon format (short comedy strips, no dump clif hangers to bait early pass) it's mostly silly funnies and vampire jokes + happy in love old married couple jokes. It's really good and has a side of deeper aspects with a relationship between an immortal and mortal person and themes of growing old and it's just lovely
-another good vampire webtoon is this absolutely based one is this silly one where it's 'vampire bf' except vampire bf is a classic old guy that lives in mansion instead of a twilight vampire, it's really wholesome and comedic and simple and cute :3
-i'm still hunting down more good vampire webtoons and then next I'll hunt down good ghost webtoons and also I'm hunting down good vampire mangas animes and light novels
-vampires as allegories my beloved!!! There's so many different concepts to be explored.
-vampire as autism allegory! Old timey shut in vampire lacking social understanding and struggling with disconnection from humanity and their identity as inhuman as well as a desire for human connection. Plus the whole bat thing!!! Being more connected with animals then humans and having different untraditional ways of expressing yourself
-vampires as allegory for chronic illness and various conditions, with a need to drink blood and undeadness framed as a medical condition. the way someone being turned to a vampire being seen as pityful and tragic in a way thats demeaning to the vampire turned being reminiscent of the reaction of people to someone being discovered to have a disability/illness. Plus there's that long going 'vampires just have iron deficiencies' thing
-we need asexual vampires we need asexual vampires we need asexual vampires
-we need more gay vampires we need more gay vampires we need more gay vampires

Psychic Summer Internship
Jumping from Forspoken to Psychonauts 2 felt like a huge change. While both explored mental health, Forspoken was primarily focused on depression and madness. Its world was not one of high contrast or vibrant wilderness. Rather, it was grounded in grim reality with a world that was falling apart at the seams. Throughout the time I spent in Athia, it was clear that the people in Cipal were holding on by just a thread. Psychonauts 2, on the other hand, was an entirely different beast. The entire game world thrummed with life; the colours popped and there was a general sense of busyness as one rolled around the Motherlobe. The world was fresh, zany and, for this humble blogger, quite a lot smaller than the monstrous map I spent more than 60 hours in.
Psychonauts 2 was released in 2021 as the sequel to one of Double Fine’s beloved games. Just like the other entries, players were put into the shoes of Raz Aquato, right after the events from the VR entry (which, in and of itself was a quick adventure that was only hours after the events of the first game). Having rescued the Grand Head: Truman Zanatto, Raz and the rest of the Psychonaut agents were trying to figure out why Dr Loboto had managed to capture the leader of the Psychonauts. And so, the game starts off in a mental construct of Dr Loboto’s mind: a dreary office that echoes the daily grind many face in their waking world.
After winning a paid vacation for being the best employee in this fictional office that was on par with the movie Inception in creating a familiar environment, Dr Loboto is tasked with finding his ‘boss’ to sign off on the trip. So begins the tutorial section of the game as Raz follows the mad scientist dentist.
Until it all goes horribly wrong and the office construct slowly breaks apart.
Though Raz and the Psychonauts are unable to discover who had employed Dr Loboto to kidnap Truman before they arrive at the Motherlobe, they press forward with the interrogation. Raz, himself, at only ten is inducted into the Psychonauts intern program. And is assigned to work under Nick from the Mailroom,
Ten! And already putting in the hard hours to spruce up his resume! Truly, Raz is the ideal candidate for any job. That or the Psychonauts are breaking child labour laws.
Perhaps the heir to Grulovia, Gristol Malik, was right right after all! The Psychonauts are monsters!
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
After joining the Psychonauts officially, albeit as an intern, Raz soon discovers Nick from the Mailroom trussed up in packaging and brainless. Finding a key in Nick’s pocket, the senior agents, suspecting a double agent, try to identify them by heading to the Lady Luctopus Casino. Raz and the rest of the interns also partake in the mission. But only after Raz has massed around with the mental connections in Psychonaut agent and erstwhile agent: Hollis Forsythe.
And here is where we find my biggest disappointment with the game. Despite the promise of espionage and high-stakes missions set out on the caper to the Lady Luctopus Casino, this was the only real appearance of a location outside the general area of the Motherlobe. While setting the game in and around the Quarry, the Questionable Area and Green Needle Gulch helped contain the game, I couldn’t help but wish for a globe-trotting adventure around the Psychonauts world. Instead, we got woods, woods and more woods.
That said, the areas that players did get to play through aren’t small by any means. They are liberally peppered with collectibles and are stuffed to the brim with fun side activities to complete.
In a game all about the power of the mind, however, is was the mental realms in Psychonauts 2 that truly shone. I loved how unique and original they all were. From the fractured mind of Ford Cruller to the Hospital Casino that was part and parcel of Hollis’s hot streak period or even the trippy aspect of the Psi King’s Sensorium. These were all excellent ways to demonstrate a character’s mental state as well as their life experience.
One of my favourites was that of Cassie O’Pea. In her mental realm, Raz had to reunite all her different archetypes. These were all facets of who she was but were not quite the whole. It reminded me of the short story I wrote a year or two ago called Splintered where I tried to explore the many masks that people wear, whether they’re neurotypical or neurodivergent.
After all, with the hunt for being authenticity, why do we always pretend to be someone else in order to be liked?
Of course, it’s not always about being liked. Sometimes it’s about putting on another hat in order for survival. Trapped in a terrible life situation, a child has to grow up fast in order to cope. The hope, of course, is that once those circumstances end, they can return to being the child they once were if perhaps a little wiser and more responsible than they were before.
I, for one, have felt like this when interacting with my friends. I have a group of board game friends. Then a group of video game enthusiasts that I call my friends. And now I have a group at work that I can maybe call my book friends. True, they might not read all the authors that I do but I can discuss some of the books that I read with people! It’s a dream come true!
Throughout the game, more and more major story elements are dropped like breadcrumbs before Raz and it isn’t long before the truth is revealed. His family was not cursed to die in water by a gypsy fortune teller. Rather, his great aunt was Maligula and she had replaced his actual grandmother after the Psychic 6 defeated her two decades ago. It was she that was the Deluge of Grulovia and which the Delugionists (great word play on delusion) were trying to bring back. Except, of course, there weren’t many Delugionists to speak of. The mole was Nick from the Mailroom. Who was actually the heir to Grulovia in disguise because he had run out of black caviar to consume.
While the plot of Psychonauts 2 could be considered simplistic when compared to other games, I enjoyed how mental health issues were incorporated from a gameplay perspective with new enemies like flying regrets with heavy weights that could crush you if one wasn’t careful, enablers that buff other enemies, doubts that slow Raz down and panic attacks that seem so incredibly overwhelming until they can be slowed down. Of course, mental illness cannot be so easily defeated but the message throughout the game was heartfelt and heartwarming.
Plus, it wasn’t as on the nose like Frey’s message to Homer at the end of the game.
Beyond that, I also liked the new abilities that Psychonauts 2 employed. From mental connection to slowing time to creating a paper-thin copy of Raz that can slip between cage bars to open a door. While not all of them are effective in a fight, they provided new ways to problem solve and were a delight to play around. So much so that I also nabbed the Platinum for the title! A fact that I’m quite proud of for I now sit at 14 Platinums on my PlayStation profile.
So, is Psychonauts 2 a fun game? You bet your last dollar it is. Is it Game of the Year material? Probably not. But it’s a colourful world that isn’t afraid to tackle difficult subjects (though one could argue that its attempts to do so simplify the issues and strip them a little of the nuance that would go with it). Best of all, Psychonauts 2 has a story that, while trope-heavy and which follows some well-known beats, never overstays its welcome. Some might dismiss the fact that it can be finished in about 15 hours but in a world where most are strapped for time, it’s probably one of the better games that can tell such a comprehensive tale without wasting a single moment!
Now we need a game with Raz as an actual adult, solving all of the world’s problems one brain at a time!

I know it's cringe but this is my Poppy Playtime OCs that I intended to be bosses so hear me out
1. The Mustard Man : militaristic man in a combination of combat gear and hazmat suit, wearing the gas mask and armed with tear gas canister, sleeping agents and a revolver.
No one know who he actually is or what is his mission but he is dreaded by every living toys around, he roamed the inner part of factory and will choke anyone who dared stand between him and his enigmatic mission.
Rumor says he is the military contractor of Playtime Co. who being hired to keep the toys in line. Another says he is one of the orphans who has been turned into militaristic action figures and some even says he is one of the mad scientist who just want to kill for the sake of killing.

2. Bedtime Beagle : Saggy skinned blue and lavender beanbag big beagle dog plushy, this once lovely and adorable caretaker of Playcare is now a horrifying hound who hunt the twisted orphanage. He maybe blinded my mustard gas long time ago but his sense of smell is incredibly sharp, his hearing abilities is very sensitive and he is very agile creature who can ran across the industrial labyrinth in a matter of minutes.
Make sure you coated yourself with mustard or else your free trial of being alive will soon expired.
3. The motherboard : gigantic boogie bot style super computer with chatty personality and like to manipulate people into further her goals. She can summon Servant dummies to fight you the whole encounter.
Hardcore Parkour and platforming your way through this trap filled puzzle boss to reach her CPU and cleanse this computer from her malware once and for all.

5. Famine frog : gluttonous toy frog with huge wind up key on her back, she want nothing more than have you as her next big meal to sate her agonising everlasting horror hunger.
This super persistent predator will stop at nothing to feast her insatiable mouth, it's either you become her next appetite or her being defeated.
6. Rosary : the literal "Yellow rose of texas", she is a big yellow toy rose who wearing cowboy hat, sheriff badge and hold a colt revolver.
She being Shelfed due controversy (especially promoting gun violence and connection to confederacy) and now haunted the forgotten wild west themed corner of the factory, forever angry at being left behind to rot and died alone for her whole existence as an orphan girl or failed toy.
7. Arnie the Apex Seawolf : oceanic themed Swap-imal mixed between grey wolf and mako shark, the monstrous predator lurking in flooded area of the factory and will maul anyone who dare to trespass his hunting ground, the mournful howl of this foul beast echo the sunken Hall in lowest part of Playtime Co.

My Favorite TV Shows and Characters
Anime TV Shows
Bocchi the Rock - Ijichi Nijika
Bocchi the Rock is this rad TV show about a shy girl named Bocchi who joins a rock band to break out of her shell. It's like, hilarious 'cause she's all awkward but totally rocks out on stage. Plus, there's this cool mix of friendship and music vibes that'll hook you from the first episode.
But Nijika is my favorite character out of all them because of her very layered leadership. She keeps the band together, has wonderful aspirations as a musician, accomodates and communicates with her bandmates really well yet still steps on her foot whenever need be, and she's also hugely supporting this band's production and marketing. I simply think she's amazing and deserves that love and recognition.
Sousou no Frieren - Frieren
Sousou no Frieren is this relaxing and heartwarming fantasy anime where this elf named Frieren is stuck dealing with her mortal pals who keep kicking the bucket. Okay, that's a bad joke. It's all about her attempts to understand the fleeting human experience, with a mix of feels and laughs. The animation is top-notch, GOD MADHOUSE DID IT RIGHT THIS TIME FINALLY, but the best thing about this series is just how beautifully it explores themes of friendship, loss, and the passage of time, blending emotional depth with that stunning animation. Frieren's character development and her take on immortality is quite something.
Frieren is naturally very charming to me. Great humor, very reflective, has no filter, just roams the earth and collecting grimoires as a hobby, is out of touch with the current society (very relatable), A BADASS ELF STEPPING ON EM DEMONS, and although she isn't actively conscious about it, she does treasures the journey she went through with the Hero Party, as well as the present with Fern and Stark.
Stein's;Gate - Makise Kurisu
Steins;Gate combines elements of science fiction and time travel. It follows a self-proclaimed mad scientist and his friends as they accidentally discover a way to send messages to the past. This series masterfully blends suspense, emotion, and intricate plot twists. It's one of those anime I was able to binge-watch in one sitting.
I can't spoil ANYTHING but the reason I really love Makise Kurisu is because of her role in this story, how much she has aided the protagonist to get to the timeline that he wanted. Also how she blended in with the protagonist's group of... odd friends. I think she's such a chad. I love her. Ugh, my kokoro.
Kino's Journey - Kino
Kino's Journey is a philosophical adventure anime where this traveler named Kino rides around on a talking motorcycle named Hermes. They visit different countries, each with its own weird rules and quirks. It's like a chill road trip with a dose of thought-provoking stories in each episode. Watching each episode is so fulfilling.
I love Kino's character the way I like Frieren's character. And maybe it's because they're both INTPs, so their vibe is very similar. I like how Kino doesn't directly get herself involved in the intricacies of the issues in a country because she's a mere traveller and there is a limit on how much she can help or interfere. I also like her sense of justice where she doesn't have to feel forgiving towards evil just because everyone has their own circumstances.
Haikyuu - Tsukishima Kei and Tanaka Ryu
Haikyuu is a high school volleyball sports anime. Seriously, I don't need to go further than that. But to those who never heard of it, it follows this short but super spunky guy, Hinata, who's obsessed with beating this tall genius dude, Kageyama. And then the fandom community shipped all the bois with each other. Lmao. Jokes aside, the whole team vibe is like watching an underdog squad grow into a powerhouse. Such a good sports anime! Also quite educational. I learned how to understand volleyball through watching this. I wasn't interested at other sports besides badminton until Haikyuu.
Tsukishima is a beloved character to me. The sarcasm and insults are topnotch! Such a fun character. Not to mention, his character development relative to Hinata's development is so wholesome. Also his friendship with Yamaguchi! Ugh. BABIIIIEEES. I'm so happy for them how things played out.
Tanaka-san! Easily the funniest character in this series for me. I love his energy. He's very caring towards his juniors, highly respects his seniors, has absolute faith with his whole team, and he stays true to his code of honor. I'd say he's more manly than Nishinoya. Nishinoya kinda tries too hard, ngl. So he deserves a Shimizu senpai fr. If I were Shimizu, I would choose this guy.
TV Shows
FRIENDS - Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani
FRIENDS is a sitcom about six pals living in NYC – we've got Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe! Oh, how I miss them! These six navigate through work, love, and just adulting in general. It's my go-to comfort show with tons of laughs, weird love triangles like sheesh what the heeelll, and that iconic Central Perk hangout spot. Ugh, Matthew Perry's death is haunting. It's gonna be painful to rewatch but I really want to watch it again.
These dorks! How can you not love them? Look at them. Need I say more?
Mr. Queen - King Cheoljong and Kim So-Yong (of course those 2)
So imagine a modern dude's soul gets swapped with a Joseon-era queen's. That's Mr. Queen—hilarious chaos as he tries to navigate court politics and romance, totally clueless about ancient customs by the way. The romance angle is legit heart-fluttering as he tries to figure out love in a totally different time AND IN A DIFFERENT GENDER (internal screaming)! There's this sweet and weeeeird chemistry going on. And how this genderswapped dude goes about it cracks me up! Now THIS is a proper romance comedy.
The genderswapped dude is now addressed as Kim So-Yong as he took possession of her body in the Joseon era. He was a well-renowned chef back in the modern days, so he's really COOKING in Joseon. It's fun watching him be restrained into a woman's body. And the comedy wouldn't be complete if King Cheoljong doesn't make it worse for this man! HAHAAHHAAH. King Cheoljong previously just wanted to take advantage of Kim So-Yong for reasons I won't say but spoiler alert - he ends up falling for Kim So-Yong. And no, if I remember correctly, he never knew that Kim So-Yong is actually a dude inside. LMAOOO. But guess what, the dude falls for him later too and boi does this feel very conflicting for him as a man. HAAHHAHAAHHA. Ooh. I also wanna rewatch this.
Big Bang Theory - Sheldon Cooper and Penny
The Big Bang Theoryis basically about a bunch of nerdy-comics-fans-slash-physicists-and-engineers who are total oddballs but super lovable. The main guy, Leonard, and his roommate Sheldon are like the brains of the operation, and their group of friends gets into all sorts of geeky shenanigans. Oh, and did I mention they get laid? It's a riot! Nerdy guys are winning!
Penny and Sheldon's friendship MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS. Sheldon starts off as repulsive towards Penny given her status and level of knowledge as a waitress. He deemed her to be no worthy of his time. But as the series goes on and Penny becomes a regular part of their shenanigans, Sheldon grows fond of Penny and recognizes her importance to their group. She is able to strengthen Sheldon and Leonard's friendship as the middlewoman. She became very dear to Sheldon to the extent that they treat each other like siblings. He teaches her about science. She teaches him about society. Penny knows what comforts Sheldon. And Sheldon, although not as emotionally capable as much as he wishes to, does his best to comfort Penny when she's down. And Penny knows how much that means coming from him.
Maria Clara at Ibarra - the 2 Maria Claras
Maria Clara at Ibarra, I dare say, is the Filipino equivalent of the Korean Scarlet Heart Ryo. What I mean is that both main characters get "teleported" back in time and they both know to some extent what happens in that era and they get themselves involved because well, they just keeps their hands to themselves. However, in this one it's more of getting inserted into a book which is set in an older era, more specifically in the 1560s, and it emphasizes more on the societal and political norms of the those times in the Philippines. The story follows a Gen Z Maria Clara who is teleported to Rizal's book titled "Noli Me Tangere". She meets the Maria Clara of the book, one of its main characters. And soon, the Gen Z Maria Clara, who we can just call 'Klay', will learn how cruel the 1560s were to the Filipinos, and she will actively try to change the events of the book by enlightening the characters of what true nationalism is. But she would also learn how extremely difficult that is to do when everyone else is content on living as they were.
The 2 Maria Claras have a sisterly bond in this story, but it didn't start all that friendly. Klay brings with her the knowledge of the 21st century, that which is bizarre for the Filipinos in the 1560s. She appeared to them as "insane", a "slut", "ignorant", and "aggressive" because to them, her behavior was not at all how a lady should act. We see later in the series that main Maria Clara would teach Klay how to properly behave as a lady. How she should behave around men. How she should talk. How she should dress. All this while carrying heavy doubts and envy in her that perhaps Klay is capturing her childhood love, Ibarra's heart because Klay is actually a strong independent woman who can support Ibarra's dreams, fully capable of defending her own dignity and can stand individually despite being just a lady. Klay later proves to Maria Clara that she is a bird trapped in a cage, but she is completely unaware of it and therefore she happily continues to sing sweet melodies to her captors, but she could do more than just sing, if only she could see. And because of this, Maria Clara realized how bleak her life was. She tried as much as she could to support herself, her lover AND Klay, striving to become a proper woman, fighting for her own rights, fighting for her country's future. Unfortunately, Klay is still such an impatient She protected Klay as much as she loves her as her "katokayo", a person she shares name with. Their friendship is truly beautiful.
I am special mentioning Fidel. His character development is also endearing, thanks to Klay.
Scorpion - Happy Quinn and Sylvester Dodd
Scorpion is an adrenaline-pumping TV show of a group of genius misfits with IQs off the charts, saving the world one mind-bending crisis at a time. The characters are as diverse as their skills, and the witty banter keeps you chuckling even in the most intense situations. That is if you understood the logic behind their humor. It's like Mission: Impossible meets The Big Bang Theory. Mix of high-stakes action and quirky humor.
Happy is a mechanical prodigy with a tough, TOUGH exterior. That adds a layer of complexity to her brilliant mind and her past that unfolds gradually. Despite her stoic demeanor, her vulnerability and loyalty make her incredibly relatable. But mostly I love her cause she's badass. Lesgooo GIRLBOSS!
Sylvester, on the other hand, is a statistical genius with a PLETHORA of phobias. Mostly anything that had spelled "DANGER" and "GERMS" and "DISEASE", he wants out of it, bro. But his endearing quirks and constant struggle with his fears make me want to root for him.
I'd special mentioned Cabe Gallo. What can I say? He's a man in a suit AND he wears his heart on his sleeves. What a fine gentleman.

BOOK EMOJI BOOK BOOK BOOK BOOK
VEE LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT MY BELOVED ARISTOCATS AU - technically ive written scenes for it but ive not actually written the fic so i think it still counts
okay so it's sokka as duchess, zuko as thomas o'malley and katara, aang and toph as the kittens!!!!
so they still have a sort of fancy estate but it's a farm instead of a mansion?? but it's like. a Good Farm. idk how to explain it but proper farms with livestock and crops are lowkey for rich-ish people bc the maintenance and shit is Expensive anyway im off topic now
so Hakoda is talking to Bato one day about who he wants to leave the farm too, and naturally he says his kids bc obviously??? but HAHN (fucker) who is like. sort of the head of the staff is Mad bc for some reason he had this weird twisted notion that the farm should go to him because he's the oldest and he's Hakoda's nephew (idk man) so he's like "nah fuck that im gonna kidnap them" and then he does bc he's nothing if not dedicated to evil schemes so he oh-so-innocently offers to help Kanna prepare lunch and he spikes it with tranqs to knock them out and then just kind of chucks them in the back of the farm ute bc he's dedicated but bad at executing the plans
anyway so his idea is to drive the however many hours to the coast to stuff them in a cargo ship but the dude doesnt even make it a quarter of the way before his tires get taken out by a spike trap that was laid out by Jet and his Freedom fighters who are just a group of kids who live in a windmill and only really turn to thievery when they're desperate (or bored enough) and anyway theres that whole fuckery of hahn being like "fuck off??" and jet being like "no gimme your car keys" but its a little more chaotic and violent and in the drama of it all guess who just... slips off the back of the ute?? correct: hahns kidnapping victims
anyway so the gang wake up in the morning like "wait a fucking minute-" and sokka's lowkey freaking out bc he's the oldest and therefore the responsible one and toph is like "IT WAS HAHN" and katara and aang are like "well that doesnt sound right" and that's when zuko, who is singing like thomas does bc i said so, just appears, balancing on the bridge railing and then he sees sokka and he's like "oh. hello there?"
and then zuko, after a big ol' internal fight with himself bc "Ugh he doesnt WANT to help these random strangers but Aang and Katara seem so earnest and Toph is weirdly compelling in a gremlin sort of way and Sokka's cute", decides to help them find their way home
anyway so the usual stuff happens
they illegally hitch a ride on the back of a dairy truck then get caught and chased away
toph falls off the train bridge and zuko dives in after her
they meet the "geese" who this time is just Aunt Wu and that herbalist who told Aang to get the frozen frogs for Sokka and Katara that one time and ive decided to call her Miyu bc i know her cats name is Miyuki but you never really learn the actual Herbalists name and anyway yeah they rescue zuko's dumbass when he cant get out of the river
hahn realises he's going to need to steal his stuff back from Jet before the police find it and figure out that he's the one who kidnapped Hakodas kids- EXCEPT SUKI (roquefort/the farm hand) AND JIN (frou-frou/stable hand) overheard him talking to himself about it and they're like "it was HIM we have to stop him"
the gaang says goodbye to Aunt Wu and Miyu in town, and zuko takes them to the abandoned loft that he lives in so they can sleep and keep going in the morning
the classic "looks like scat cat and his gang of alley cats are here" except it's azula, mai and ty lee and azula's lowkey this little mad scientist who is also an excellent electrician who finally decided to fix zuko's power
so they all meet and mingle and become somewhat friends
THE CLASSIC "wow, your eyes are like sapphires" SCENE THAT INSPIRED THE WHOLE AU
alas the gaang returns home despite sokkas heart firmly belonging to zuko, who stands at the gate and watches them go until they reach the porch
they see suki in the top window and think she's waving at them, but right at the last minute sokka remembers that suki only ever comes inside to pester them, otherwise she's out working on the farm so what was she doing upstairs in the only lockable room??
*evil music* hahn knocks them out as soon as they get inside and ties them up and stuffs them in the barn and locks it
jin manages to shimmy out of the window bc she's smaller than suki and it always gets stuck half way, and tries to get into the barn but sokka manages to get his gag off and yells at her to find zuko
she fins him and then HE tells her to run into town and find Azula, and then he says "but say Zuko sent you or she might tase you" and jins like "SHE'LL WHAT??" anyway she goes and finds them and azula almost tases her bc jin cant remember zukos fucking name but then she's like "oh fuck zuko for this honestly" and then azulas like "oh wait okay whats going?"
so then azula and everyone run to the barn to find the zuko has managed to break it open (of course) and is now in the middle of punching Hahn and then EVERYONE is fighting hahn bc fuck him but while that's happening zuko unties the gaang and he and sokka kiss (finally lol) and then they all knock hahn out and stuff HIM in the crate he was going to stuff the gaang into
and then yeah hakoda finds out about everything and hes like "what the fuck" but zuko and his sister are welcomed into the family and azula and jin totally fall in love while azula is fixing the lights in the barn bc it takes ages bc they're old and she decides to just replace everything and re-do the wiring bc she's a perfectionist
anyway it's something they laugh about when they're older but at the moment zuko can't let any of them out of his sight and the kids all share a bed and they all have to watch kanna make their food or do it themselves otherwise they can't eat it bc i'm incapable of not exploring characters trauma after traumatic events (:

works in progress…
welcome to the mad scientist lab of yours truly, annie!! this is only a small portion of all the brainrot i have on my mind 24/7, and i only picked out the stuff that i was more or less sure that I’d write something for later on. please do keep in mind that all of these WIPs are subject to change!
KEY GUIDE: 'uploading files' means stuff I'm currently working on actively. 'on hold' refers to the stuff that I wrote on a whim and then put aside to focus on other fics. 'queued files' is for the stories that are mapped out but have yet to be written.
UPLOADING FILES . . .
lay all your love on me. [ kaeya x reader ]
multichaptered fic, top priority! inspired by the song ‘lay all your love on me’ by ABBA. fluff, comedy, and a little bit of angsty pining probably, knowing me— i won’t spoil too much, but just read the song lyrics heheheHEHE
look into my eyes (for the rest of our lifetimes) [ ningguang x reader ]
one-shot, high priority. childhood friends-to-lovers, fluffy reunion fic (title is subject to change). i started writing this after playing through her hangout!!! she has a softer side to her that is sadly underrepresented, so i hope to explore that particular aspect of her character in this fic. WE’LL HAVE TO SEE IF I CAN PULL IT OFF THO LOLOL
give me your wishlist [ childe x reader ]
it’s childe, of course it’s high priority!!!! one-shot, fluff and a little bit of comedy, and inspired by the song wishlist by txt. this was a self-indulgent fic i started for my bday last year and then got immediately swamped with thesis work right after. I STILL AM GONNA FINISH THIS THO, FIGHT ME THESIS
3/4ths time signature [ atsushi nakajima x reader ]
one-shot, medium priority. sappy domestic fluff inspired by the song only by lee hi, another self-indulgent fic for me bc i was sTReeEEEEeesseDDD. i work on this when I’m brain-drained for ideas on the other three fics. title is also subject to change.
ON HOLD . . .
untitled [ thoma x reader ]
one-shot, low priority. friends-to-lovers fluff (probably???? i don’t remember lololol). a random draft that i wrote at some ungodly hour in the morning and then forgot about. it’s pretty decent though so i might finish it…..????
pull my heart-strings, won’t you? (it’s not like it can hurt me anyway) [ scaramouche x reader ]
tentative multi-chaptered fic (if i pull a tellerluna-stories here and make it too long again), medium priority. modern AU, fake dating trope with a forest of pining and a field of fluff to go with it. tbh now that I’ve seen our beloved summer i lowkey have ideas for this,,,,,, HMMMMM
the clear moon [ atsushi nakajima x reader ]
one-shot, low priority. just some hurt/comfort stuff that i wrote at 4 in the morning and never finished. if i put these drafts in this list, it means i will probably finish them eventually!!!
a soul forged of steel [ childe x reader ]
tentative multi-chaptered fic, medium priority. a self-indulgent android AU, because my detroit become human phase will not stay in its grave. title is subject to change; frankly, I’m unsure if i want to make this into a bigger AU that isn’t reader-insert so i can explore the concept of a cybernetic version of Teyvat with more freedom. until i decide, this draft is just gonna sit there and look pretty <33
QUEUED FILES . . .
The Eldritch Abomination From the Cold Depths of the Abyss is Surprisingly Warm Towards Me?! [ enjou x reader ]
most likely a one-shot (this is if i avoid pulling a tellerluna-stories), high priority. comedy, fluff and chaos. plot has more or less already been fully mapped out and it’s only a matter of writing it; tbh i feel like my soul is leaving my body after admitting that I’m writing this,,,, also yes, that is the actual title. kudos to my beta reader who came up with it :DDDD
sweeter than a love potion. [ diluc x reader ]
probably gonna be a multi-chaptered fic, low to medium priority. fluff, comedy, and found family to boot, starring diona, reader, and diluc. only half of the plot has been mapped out so far, as i still need to do research on some things before getting into it lol. the diluc kisser in me is coming out and i don’t want to admit it HAHAHAHA
#tellerluna.blogkeeper#let me know which fics you'd like to see!!#in the end everything is my final decision ofc but feedback is greatly appreciated#I'd like to know your thoughts on what I have so far too <333#tellerluna.talks

Phantom Children [DP x Batman Crossover] Ch. 2
In which: Danny thinks, Talia is concerned, and we finally see Ra's al Ghul's pride an joy: the Lazarus pit
AO3 | Prologue | 1 | [ 2 ] | 3 |
---
DANNY COUNTS THE DAYS by the hours he is in the monitor room. One hour is all that he is allowed. One hour after a day of learning and fighting, of ‘yes ma’am’ and ‘no sir’ and ‘stand up straighter, boy’ and ‘remember that you have feet.’ Of being handed a sword only to have it knocked out of his hand (pickitup-pickitup-pick-it-up). Of ‘here’s eight plants, only one of them is the antidote to the poison you just ingested, and you better hope you remember the difference because this is the life you live now, Danny.’ This is what you agreed to for some time in front of a few television screen.
One hour. Sixty minutes. Three thousand and six hundred measly fucking seconds was all he got to see his family before he’s ushered back to his room. Dark. Barren. Windowless.
God, when was the last time he saw the stars?
He spent his multitude of ‘one hours’ simply watching. That was all he could do, really. Watch and collect snatches of Amity—of Before. Like torn pieces of an antique photograph, unable to be restored but too precious to throw away.
Talia would call him too sentimental. Danny would love to remind Talia that if it wasn’t for her and her freaky older-than-dirt dad, Danny wouldn’t even need to be fucking sentimental.
Breathe in for four. Hold for seven. Breathe out for eight.
Repeat.
Repeat again.
One more time.
There’s a voice in Danny’s head that sounded too much like Jazz telling him that this kind of behavior was unhealthy. The Jazz in Danny’s head didn’t exactly know why, though they’re both pretty sure that constantly watching your family and friends move on after your death probably isn’t good for one’s sanity. Especially since Danny isn’t really dead.
Well.
Dead-er.
He isn’t—
(family-love-mememe-why aren’t they looking harder-don’t they care-they care-for their own good-what about-happy-no-me-them-me-them).
Truth be told, Danny isn’t angry that everyone in Amity seemed to be getting on with their lives. God, he’s seen how his suppsed-death affected them. He can’t—he won’t be responsible for holding them back from living when he can’t even be sure if he’ll ever be able to return to Amity again.
(He’s seen what happens when someone refuses to move on. Hell, the Zone is full of it. It’s either you obsess with grief…or you try to rip it out of yourself entirely.)
Danny wanted them to live on. Be happy. (With him.)The FentonWorks portal remained under constant vigilance, and since Pariah Dark, most ghosts recognized Amity as his haunt and tended to stay away. With any major threats he could only hope that Clockwork would step in somehow and at least keep it contained. Tucker and Sam were more than capable enough to handle most of his regular rogues gallery, especially if Red Huntress was backing them up too.
Amity…didn’t really need Danny anymore to protect it.
(Family-happy-protectprotectprotect-what?-safe-not safe-not needed).
For all that they tried to find out, Danny, Sam, and Tucker never did manage to figure out what his ghostly obsession was. Sam went out on a limb and said Heroism which…wasn’t quite right but fit the bill well enough.
And what was the point of heroes?
To build a world where they aren’t needed.
------
There was a noticeable shift in her son’s demeanor after he learned of the true nature of his parentage. Though it should be noted that while Talia showed a photograph of her beloved to Daniel, she did not disclose his true identity as to Ra’s al Ghul’s orders. Her father reasoned that it was more advantageous for Daniel to develop a closer connection with the maternal side of his family as opposed to the Waynes—a name that would be more familiar and thus better viewed than the strange people who kidnapped him.
No; ‘Recovered’ would be the most appropriate term. Daniel was her child. Would always be her child, no matter who raised him.
Daniel was…quieter. Somber. His eyes glazed yet sharp—blue eyes bloodshot despite maintaining a regular sleep schedule. Like pit madness with neither the madness nor the pit; simply the look of rage that bubbles beneath the skin, close to boiling over yet never there.
He continued to watch his false family obsessively. Yet…he had taken to watching Talia as well. Quietly. Unobtrusively. Small glances at the corner of his eye. Contemplative looks with furrowed brows whenever he presumed she did not notice. He had even taken to meticulously check his reflection in the mirror; pinching cheeks and turning his face this way and that, cataloguing his features as if to find what parts of him was from her—or perhaps if there was any part of him that ever resembled the paranormal scientists he once called parents.
Even if the physical similarities were not there, the DNA testing—regardless of the anomalies found in Daniel’s genes—was proof enough that he was her son.
“You have been keeping with your diet regimen, yes?” Asked one of the League’s physicians. He pressed his gloved fingers against Daniel’s skin, brushing the ridges of his ribcage. Marring her son’s skin was a large, faint scars. Fractals branching across his torso like the branches of a gruesome tree. “You are still too thin.”
“Fast metabolism,” Daniel mumbled. He is sat on an examination table in their medical wing, black shirt neatly folded beside him. His figure, though not skeletal, per se, was gaunt. His ribs poking from his pallor skin, stomach still concave for a boy who ate double the portions than any other member of the League of Assassins. “I’ve had it since the accident, but it’s never gotten this bad.”
The physician hummed, jotting his notes down along side the results of Danny’s vitals. The exact numbers were unknown to Talia, standing as she was by the door, though she could infer the results from previous physical examinations. (Low blood pressure and core body temperature. Faint pulse, slight tachycardia,) “Do you have any ideas why?”
Daniel’s lips thinned, eyes darting to the side as he always did whenever Phantom was related in anyway. His face was too open; Talia needed to train him out of that. “My…” He took a deep breath. “Ghosts aren’t supposed to stay very long in the Material world. It lacks the ectoplasmic energies that helps them ‘stay alive,’ so to speak. Usually they can supplement some of this by filtering some of the ambient energy in the atmosphere to strengthen themselves—it’s why Amity was such a hotspot for ghosts because of the large concentration of ectoplasm in the atmosphere—but it still isn’t a good long term solution.”
He scratched the back of his head. “Since I’m still somewhat human, I’m able to spend way more time in the Material world and can substitute spending days in the Zone by instead filtering ambient energy and eating.”
The physician made another noise, the tip of his pen tapping against the side of the clipboard. “So I take it then that, as your other half doesn’t have access to this ‘ambient energy’ as you call it, it is forced to take what energy it needs from the calories you’ve consumed, yes?”
“Basically.”
“What will happen if you do not have enough calories to supplement this energy?”
Danny shrugged, a rueful smile on his face. “Dunno. Maybe this time, death will stick.”
Talia narrowed her eyes.
Such a thing will not happen. She had been forced to give up on Daniel once, and then later on she lost her youngest to her beloved. Never again.
This child was hers.
------
“Father, did you not say that the anomalies found in Daniel’s DNA were similar in composition to the Lazarus pit?”
Ra’s al Ghul did not pause in pause in his reading to look up at Talia. The bird shaped magnifying glass held steady above the ancient manuscripts spread across his desk, eyes focused on the words and figures carefully inked onto the page. “Yes.” He set aside the magnifying glass and gently flipped the page. “It is what strengthened my belief of the connection between the Lazarus pit and these spirits.”
Talia straightened. “With your permission I would like to place Daniel into the pit.”
Her fathered looked up, curious. “You forget what the pit does to those who are in good health.”
She placed the results of Daniel’s most recent physical exam on to of his desk. Ra’s sat back in his chair and idly flipped through the folder, reading the contents as if no different to reading the newspaper instead of how his grandson is slowly being starved by his own biology. “Well, well. This would be a problem.”
He closed the folder, a wry grin curling at his lips. “Have him ready for tomorrow. I am curious as to how the pit would affect one already half-dead.”
------
Danny is awoken by Talia sometime the next day. “Come,” she said. “You do not need to change, so come quickly.”
He got off the bed with a silent groan, rubbing the sleep from his eyes with the heel of his palm. “Where are we going?”
“Not far. Somewhere that will help you.”
He snorted. “Letting me go home would help me.”
Talia doesn’t answer, simply waiting for him at the door. Danny groaned, combing away as much of his bedhead with his fingers as he followed her.
For the first time since being dragged to Nanda Parbat, Danny is allowed to venture beyond his small section of the compound.
He didn’t really know what to expect.
Still didn’t stop everything from being so…anticlimactic.
Beyond the steel door, normally kept locked and guarded by two of his shadow guards, was a hallway. Endlessly long with a wide pathway, lit enough by the fluorescent lights overhead but not enough to banish the shadows that clung to the stone walls. The hallway looked empty. ‘Looked’ being the key word, here. Even if he couldn’t see them, Danny would bet on his half-life that the shadows were teeming with life.
Talia led the way through the maze of twists and turns (were they underground?), a couple of shadow guards quietly following behind them.
“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?”
Talia looked at him from over her shoulder for a moment, then turned away. “Have you heard of the Lazarus pits?”
“Lazarus? Like the guy who came back to life?” Neither of his parents were really religious. His dad only really Baptist in name because he was born into a Baptist family that, too, wasn’t overly strict in their religion. The only reason why Danny knew of this Lazarus guy was because of Mr. Lancer’s unit on Greco-Roman and Christian allusions.
Talia nodded, turning a corner. “The Lazarus pits are natural pools with restorative properties, capable of rejuvenating the body, healing grievous injuries, and even bringing the dead back to life.”
Danny nearly tripped over his own feet. “What? That’s—” Impossible. He ran up to Talia, wildly gesticulating with his hands. “What’s dead is dead. Resurrecting the dead goes against the natural law of the universe!”
“Well, you seem to be doing fine.”
He frowned, crossing his arms. “That’s different. I’m still dead, even if my entire existence seems like the but end of a Schrodinger’s joke.”
“Be that as it may, what I speak is truth.” She stopped in front of a door and opened it. Then, stepping aside to usher Danny in first. “See of yourself.”
Danny stepped inside, Talia following behind him, and—
Oh.
Before he even saw the pit, he could feel it. A low and steady hum reminiscent of the ghost portal. But…different. Not necessarily fainter but garbled, like hearing someone speak underwater.
The room was a large, open space, with stone walls framed by red wooden pillars. It was dim, lit only by the green glow of the pit that consumed the majority of the space. A square pool of too-clear waters and toxic-looking steam rising from the surface.
The waters felt of the Zone but…not.
“Ah, Daniel.” He nearly jumped out of his own skin. Ra’s al Ghul stepped out of the shadows behind him, hands folded behind his back. The green glow highlighted the sharp contours of his face; the shadows that clung to him only making his visage harsher. “It is good to see you.”
Danny greeted the Demon’s Head with a League salute. “Grandfather.”
The word felt foreign on his tongue despite being in English. To formal for a boy who never really had the chance to interact with his own grandparents. But Danny was told to refer to Ra’s like this, and so he did. (He was only grateful Talia didn’t insist on calling her ‘mother.’)
Ra’s al Ghul was an enigma. Centuries old yet he looked only about a decade older than his mom and dad. (Jack and Maddie Fenton will always be his mom and dad. They raised him. Loved him, in their own eccentric, science-y way. No blood test or adoption or ninja-assassins could change that). Like Danny’s still-unnamed biological father, Ra’s carried himself with theatrical purpose. Comically villainous in his attire and grand gestures, though unlike Vlad, Ra’s had this overwhelmingly intimidating presence that engulfed whatever room he stepped in.
Ra’s was a man that commanded attention as opposed to demanding it. And now, at the focus of the man’s calculating gaze, Danny could not help but stand stiff at attention.
“You’re mother was right,” Ra’s said. Danny barely restrained himself from perking up at that word. “You are wasting away, Daniel.”
Tell me something I don’t know.
“Well, at least you still have that fire in you.”
Danny startled, slapping his hand over his mouth. Shit, he didn’t know he said that out loud. Out of the corner of his eye, Talia suppressed a small smile.
“You have that in common with the Detective,” Ra’s continue, circling Danny like a carrion that spotted its next meal. “That and the rather foolish notion on not properly reporting the extent of your injuries.”
“With all due respect, grandfather, I wasn’t expecting on staying here for this long.”
Ra’s gave him a knowing look. “But something is keeping you here, isn’t it?”
“Keeping my family and friends hostage is a pretty good motivator, apparently.” An insidious thought bubbled in Danny’s mind. But that isn’t all, is it?”
“I have consulted your mother and your physician as to the nature of your condition, and I have decided that the Lazarus pit would be a sufficient way to restore your health.” He gestured to the pool. “It appears that your DNA shares several similarities to the composition to the Lazarus pit.”
Danny crouched at the edge of the pit, hovering his hand above the water’s surface. “It’s because it contains ectoplasm. An impure kind, I think.”
“Will the impurities be harmful to you?”
He pursed his lips. “I don’t think so? My body can filter out the impurities just fine, it’s just that I’ve never encountered thistype of ectoplasm before. It’s so clear and—aqueous, I think is the word.”
There’s a strange glint in Ra’s eyes. Dare Danny say it, it even looked mischievous. It made him uneasy, and just as Danny made a move to step back, Ra’s al Ghul picked him up by the collar of his night shirt—
And threw Danny into the Lazarus Pit.

Ok I have to share this because it’s related to my Stucky interests. I am only a tiny ways in but I’m obsesssed <3
ABOUT THE BOOK
She fell for the wrong woman … now it’s going to cost her.
In wartime New York City, budding reporter Jenny Ryan is chasing the biggest story of her life. Everyone said the death of her beloved research scientist father was an accident, but she knows it was her fault. When an anonymous phone call puts the blame on wealthy industrialist Marcus Forrester, Jenny doesn’t hesitate to act. Armed with absolution and a tenacious drive for justice, she will stop at nothing to bring him down. She didn’t count on falling for the key to her plan … Forrester’s mistress.
On the surface, Kathryn Hammond has it all: a successful nightclub singing career, elegant grace, and stunning good looks that draw all eyes to her when she enters a room. No one can see her tragic past, or the demons she battles daily as she toils stateside, carrying out what she considers dead-end missions for the OSS while the real war rages in Europe. She knows nothing short of her death in service to the greater good will redeem her for the lives lost on a mission gone bad. All that changes when Jenny Ryan becomes her latest dead-end mission and awakens long dormant concepts like hope, redemption, and the worst thing that could happen to an agent toward their subject: desire.
These two women, on very disparate paths, are caught in a reluctant, slow burn that will save them, but at what cost, and are they willing to pay the price?
In the Shadow of the Past, by J.E. Leak, is the first book in the noir Shadow series. If you’ve ever yearned for something beyond your reach, follow Kathryn and Jenny’s epic love story as they navigate duty and an unrelenting longing to save each other, despite the surmounting obstacles and a world gone mad.

How did you make your OCs? :o
You didn’t specify ;-; so I will pick one
Hmmm let’s go with Toxtricity!
So I was scrolling through Tumblr and I saw a post about someone complaining that they always misspelled toxicity as Toxtricity and boom the name clicked.
My mind went “mad scientist cat??” And her concept was born
(Art by @star-freckled-kitten)
I made her a white cat because lab rats are white, and I wanted to give her missing patches of fur and really ripped up ears because I figured she was kind of careless and would get burnt often. That’s also why I gave her no fur on the tips of her fingers. She also strikes me as the kind of scientist who’d do self experimentation so that may contribute to all the burns.
The green eyes went with the chemical and science theme, and I made her blind eye a red X because I thought the traditional pale blue blind eye would clash with her harsh and piercing look.
And then I just popped some cracked goggles on her and boom! She was designed.
I wanted her to be a mad scientist, but not in a cartoony way. I wanted her to be scary.
One of the key components to her personality is that she’s a villain with little to no redeeming features. She’s meant to be hated. The only one good thing she’s ever done is take care of her beloved son, Hemlock, but even then she manipulates him so much and the relationship is not healthy one bit.
I also wanted her to be genuinely terrifying. Macavity is powerful and mysterious, but his powers and almost over the top villainy sometimes come off as a little silly. I wanted Tox to be not magical, but intelligent. Something that’s almost just as scary as magic.
Macavity in my eyes has some love for his family in The Jellicle Tribe, but Tox has absolutely no remorse for any of her actions. She never learned empathy, and she never will.
Except for in an au or two, Shes absolutely terrible. And I want to keep her that way.

GF - Amalia pt.2
For @artsymeeshee. Thank you so so much for being you and for always brightening up my day! Sorry for the wait, but I hope you like it.
pt.1
~~~~~~~~~~
“Dipper, come on! They’re ready!”
The thirteen-year-old boy quickly joined his sister on her bed, lying on their stomach so they could see the laptop comfortably. Yes, they texted their grunkles at least three times a day and constantly sent emails and usually got to have a video call once a week, but that didn't make their interactions any less exciting and enjoyable. Dipper and Mabel’s parents were busy working so the twins had the house to themselves and could talk freely.
The laptop ringed a few times and soon they were graced with two nearly identical faces with distinct differences, both smiling widely at the young teenagers. “Hey there, kiddos!”
“Hi, guys!” Mabel returned, waving and grinning. “Did you get my package, did you, did you, did you?!”
“Yes, I have it right here.” Ford chuckled warmly and placed the package on the dining room table, where the old men were located.
“Well go ahead and open it!” Mabel squealed and Stan used his pocket knife to cut through the tape and they opened the box to find a large, brand new knitted blanket.
“Oh, wow! Mabel, sweetie, this is… wow.” Stan admired with shining eyes as he pulled the blanket out of the box.
“This might be your best work yet, my dear!” Ford complimented as he grazed the yarn with his fingers. “It’s so soft, and how on Earth did you manage to make it so big?”
“Big knitting needles!”
“She used her arms to knit it, like she had it looped around her actual arms.” Dipper answered honestly with a small, proud smile while Mabel blushed furiously.
“That’s very impressive.” Ford said.
“I’ll say! It’s beautiful! I love it!” Stan wrapped it around his shoulders and hummed; he could distantly smell his niece’s shampoo and cheap strawberry perfume. “Thank you, pumpkin.”
“You’re welcome, I just don’t want you guys to be cold or freeze to death up there.”
“Mabel, for the millionth time, I swear we’re fine.” Stan assured, unable to keep the laughter in his throat down.
“I know, but as the professional knitter in the family, it is my sworn duty to ensure you two stay warm and cozy, despite the challenging environment!” She said victoriously with her hand pointing upward, like she was pretending there was a flag behind her or something. “Anywho, what’s new with you guys?”
“Oh, nothing out of the abnormal.” Ford said casually, rocking his hand side-to-side in a painfully casual manner. “Iceland was interesting, we’re planning on heading back up North shortly to make it to Gravity Falls in time for summer, but we have about a month to spend exploring the United Kingdom until we have to start our way back.”
“Great!” Dipper commented. “See anything cool in Iceland? Any mountain trolls?”
“No, no trolls.”
“Although we did see this big smelly guy in a bar that looked half-troll to me.” Stan added in.
“But… we…” Stan gave Ford a dark look, so the eldest twin corrected himself quickly. “I… I did something.”
“Oh boy, did you burn a hole into the counter again, Grunkle Ford?” Mabel guessed.
Ford chuckled warmly and shook his head. “No, nothing like that. It’s… well, I’ll show you, hold on one minute.”
Dipper and Mabel watched one uncle get up and leave while the other held his head and rubbed his temples. “Grunkle Stan, what did he do?” Mabel asked.
“Something a certain pumpkin once did to me and I don’t appreciate it anymore now than I did before.” Stan mumbled.
Ford sat back down next to his twin, resulting in Mabel screaming and then quickly covering her mouth, her eyes wide and shining like stars. Dipper just stared, smiling, but mostly confused at the tiny furry thing on his grunkle’s chest. Ford couldn’t keep the dopey smile off his face as he petted the anomaly’s back and she licked his cleft chin. “This is Amalia.”
“OH MY GOSH, YOU GUYS!” Mabel squealed, making Amalia jump a little and start looking around the boat for whatever was causing the sudden noise. “She’s so cute! I didn’t know you guys were gonna get a pet!”
“Neither did we.” Ford chuckled as Amalia sat on the table, still looking around. “She came aboard in Iceland and never left. She’s quite gentle and well-trained, very well behaved.”
“She’s a cute, furry jerk.” Stan growled.
“Stanley’s just mad at her because she knocked over his favorite mug this morning.”
“Daw, she probably wanted your attention, Grunkle Stan.”
“Well, she has it now.” Stan sneered and pointed his fingers from his eyes to the pet, still curiously on the hunt for the mysterious noise.
“How interesting.” Dipper muttered with a smile. “Do you know what species she is?”
“Not quite sure.” Ford answered. “She has many cat-like behaviors, but obviously she’s more than some exotic breed of a domestic feline. I’ve run a few tests, simply playing games with her to test her intelligence and watching her through the day, but so far nothing too abnormal has come up.”
“Well, as much as she doesn’t look like any breed I know of, she might be a hybrid we’ve never seen before, a mixture of two breeds of cat. I could do some research to see if she resembles any cat breeds.” Dipper pulled out his cellphone while Amalia looked at the scream, her eyes big at the teenagers.
“She’s looking at us, she’s looking at us!” Mabel whispered excitedly. “Hi, Amalia! Hi! I’m gonna knit you a cute sweater, yes I am!” She cooed.
Amalia pawed at the laptop, getting closer to it, and eventually walking on the keys.
“OY! Get off!”
“Stanley, don’t hurt her!”
“She’s gonna…”
And suddenly Dipper and Mabel were faced with a blank screen, making them laugh and quickly send snarky text messages to the old sailors.
~~~~~~~~~~
Stan’s eyes slowly opened, lying on his back, and therefore first seeing the ceiling of the bunker of his beloved boat. He was stiff; his whole body was stiff and his eyes were crusty and he wanted to go back to sleep, but his body had had enough of sleep and it was time to leave his bed for the day.
Taking in a sharp breath to brace himself for the pain of first moving his old back, Stan sat up and placed his feet in his slippers. He reached for his glasses, surprised to find a note by them. He slipped on his aid of vision and immediately recognized his brother’s neat cursive writing.
Stanley,
We needed a few supplies and I felt like going on a small walk early this morning, so I left you alone to sleep. I’ll be back by lunch. Please look after Amalia while I’m gone.
Stanford.
6:18am
Stan swore under his breath. Not only had Sixer probably not slept well, Stan was willing to bet money on it, he was stuck babysitting the stupid animal. Who, by the way, was playing with a fluffy ball on the floor, silently amusing herself and leaving Stan alone. Well, fine then. He could work with that.
The younger twin stood and slipped on his bathrobe over his pajamas, making his way upstairs for coffee and maybe some breakfast. The clock over the stove read two minutes before ten, so coffee should tie him over until lunchtime. Stan filled the machine with a filter and grounds and turned on the pot after filling it with water, but he was disturbed from his work when he heard tiny footsteps and saw Amalia climbing up the steps and walking up to him.
“Whatcha want?” He growled sleepily.
Amalia, of course, didn’t answer, but instead sat next to where Stan stood and rubbed against his bony legs, purring her strange purr; it wasn’t normal like a cat’s but there was no other way to explain the sound she made. Stan snorted.
As the coffee pot filled with the caffeinated breakfast beverage, Stan fished out an apple from the fridge and bit into it. Okay, a small snack would be okay. His eye caught the small stacks of canned tuna Ford had put there, claiming Amalia preferred her fish cold, and he shrugged and decided to go ahead and feed the weird thing so he wouldn’t have to get up from the couch to do it later. At the sound of the can opening the little cat-like beauty sprung up on the table and tapped the surface with her little beanie paws, a bad habit Ford had installed early because “Amalia is too lady-like to eat on the floor,” the aged scientist had cooed as he placed the can on the table and scratched his pet.
Stan rolled his eyes and decided not to fight it. He sat Amalia’s breakfast on the table and she happily indulged in the cold fish while Stan poured himself a mug of coffee. He watched the anomaly eat peacefully, her tiny face almost completely engulfed in the food. The old conman couldn’t help but smile as he sipped his black drink. “You’re quieter than the pig. I’ll give you that.”
Amalia sat up, a bit of damp food on her face, but she licked it off and then began to clean herself by licking her paw and rubbing her face. Stan accidentally found himself watching her as he sipped his coffee, a small smile on his wrinkly face.
Really, the main reason why he was being the bad guy was because someone had to be in this type of situation. Someone had to try to be reasonable, someone had to oppose a potentially bad idea, and with Stan’s tough-guy persona and Ford opting out of being the cold, realistic, mad-scientist in order to be a big marshmallow for a weird cat, Stan was the perfect candidate. With that being said, Stan reminded himself of an incident he was faced with over fifty years ago.
“Stanford, please!”
“Stanley, I’m sorry, but he’s a wild animal. Don't you think he’ll be happier out in nature? And what will Ma and Pa say?”
“They… They don’t have to know…”
“Stanley!”
“Sixer, please! C’mon! I’m begging you! I’ll do anything! Just please don’t rat me out!”
“Whoa, whoa. I’d never tattle on you, I… I won’t tell, but I really think you shouldn’t keep him as a pet.”
It was only a week, but by the time Stan re-introduced the animal as Shanklin the Stab-Possum, Ford’s appreciation for the strange pet was much stronger and he even used him to help free the Jersey Devil. Plus it was easy to keep the possum a secret when they were grounded in their room all summer. Ford never did tattle and he loved that possum almost as much as Stan loved Shanklin. So, okay, if a couple of weird nine-year-olds can have a possum for a pet, then a pair of eccentric old sailors can have an unknown cat for a pet.
Stan left the kitchen-area for the couch and pulled out a newspaper he had snagged yesterday to finish. He opened it with a rustle and sat comfortably, but not long did he feel something join him on his right side and then two little paws land on his leg. Stan lowered his reading material and raised an eyebrow at Amalia, who just looked at him with sparkling eyes. “What?”
Of course the anomaly didn’t answer, but she did climb across his legs for his lap and sat in a curled-up ball for a mid-morning nap. Stan sighed with a smile, scratched her behind the ear, and rescued his reading.
~~~~~~~~~~
Three weeks later and the Stan O’ War was harbored at Ipswich, UK. Having traveled through the Irish Sea and around England, the ship was about to head up north, beginning the journey for home. But Mabel had given the twins another city to be in for another package, and so with Amalia in Ford’s hoodie and Stan holding two bags of groceries, they stopped by the post office and picked up their mail.
Cushioned in a new baby-blanket for Amalia were two small sweaters just perfect for the little anomaly. One was purple with a golden six-fingered hand and a golden crescent with each symbol having an ‘s added to it, and beneath all of this the word “pet” was stitched on in colorful letters. The second one was fluffy white with a baby-blue paw-print on it, each sweater big enough to not squeeze Amalia and with the designs on her back so the humans could see them easily.
While Amalia was never shivering or actively cold, Ford ignored Stan’s laugh-filled orders not to torture their pet and the fluffy-haired twin had Amalia try on the white sweater, who loved it so much she refused to let Ford take it off of her for a few hours. Stan, of course, had to end a picture to their niece, who may or may not have cried at the sight and at the caption her uncle sent it with, “Amalia loves Auntie Mabel’s sweaters.”

Note: Here’s an pregame Gonta fic for all you Gonta simps, enjoy!
HAUNTED HOUSES AND MAID DRESSES (PREGAME!GONTA GOKUHARA X READER)
Fate be a cruel being, or at least cruel in the case of second year student Gonta Gokuhara. Yes, it was that time of year at Hoddakido Wakkani Academy, the annual school festival. Sure, Gonta enjoyed the food and the occasional maid cafe, but this year the teacher just had to assign him to work his class’s attraction.
Gonta stood inside the poorly constructed haunted house, his face a shoddy lime green and rudimentary bolts stuck to each side of his head. A couple of elementary school kids passed by and screamed at the sight, despite Gonta not making a peep. The tall boy let out a sigh, wanting to go home. How did he get roped into this stupid shit?
“Now, you’re Frankenstein!” his classmate Junpei teased him, as Gonta’s other classmates got him dressed for the haunted house.
Gonta shot Junpei a look and grumbled, “Did you even read the book? Frankenstein’s the scientist, not the monster.”
“Whatever, man,” the shorter boy rolled his eyes, “But you look so scary- well, scarier than you usually do,” a couple of Gonta’s classmates snickered at the joke, “Now, go make us some money for our class trip, big guy!”
“Stuck on haunted house duty?” the sweet melodious of (Y/N) (L/N) snapped Gonta out of his thoughts, smiling up at him.
(Y/N) (L/N) of Class 2-A, one of the beloved students in the grade. They were popular, talented, and respected; all things Gonta wasn’t. If it wasn’t for his massive crush on them, Gonta would have surely hated their guts.
“(L/N),” he greeted the shorter student, looking down. However, Gonta was greeted by a sight he wasn’t prepared to see; (Y/N) in a skimpy maid cafe uniform and cat ears.
“Like what you see, big guy?” asked (Y/N) flirtatiously, giving Gonta an eye full of the outfit.
Only you can call me that, Gonta thought to himself.
“You look nice..” he replied, trying not to stare too hard.
“I’m glad,” (Y/N) chuckled, “I got stuck working my class’s maid cafe but Hana thought it was a grand time to make it a cat maid cafe. She’s such a weeb,” they looked back up at Gonta and continued, “Managed to escape for a bit. Care to join me?”
Was this a dream come true?
Wouldn’t the class get mad for their key to the attraction went missing?
“You know what?” Gonta gave (Y/N) an awkward smile– he would only smile for them– and answered, “Fuck it, let’s go.”
“Good answer,” (Y/N) held out their hand and Gonta timidly took it, being dragged out of the haunted house. Outside the haunted house, Junpei– who was manning the cash register– gawked at the sight of popular babe (Y/N) stealing the class money maker, “HEY! GONTA, DUDE! WHERE ARE YOU GO?!”
Gonta flipped Junpei the birdie and flashed him a peace sign before disappearing around the corner with (Y/N). After awhile, the two made their way to the school rooftop and collapsed near the rails.
(Y/N) flopped on their back and stared at the clouds, “School’s shit, isn’t it?”
“Even for you?” Gonta joined (Y/N) in cloud gazing. (Y/N) nodded and elaborated to the muscular boy, “Even for me. I may be considered a popular kid but it doesn’t mean I like it here. The people here are shitty.”
“Agreed,” hummed Gonta. He paused and pointed up at the sky, “That cloud looks like a caterpillar, doesn’t it?”
(Y/N) looked at the cloud in question and giggled, “It does! Do you like caterpillar, Gokuhara?”
“...I do,” he hesitated to answer but being around (Y/N) made him feel somewhat relaxed.
“What’s your favorite bug?” (Y/N) asked out of the blue.
Gonta pondered for a moment before replying, “Nosoderma diabolicum.”
“Nosoderma what?”
“Diabolical ironclad beetle.”
“Never heard of it, why do you like it?”
Gonta stared at the sky, “It’s considered the world’s toughest beetle, its exoskeleton being able to within any attack,” and turned to face (Y/N), “I admire its strength and resilience.”
“You know a lot about bugs,” (Y/N) flashed Gonta a warm smile, “I think you would make a great entomologist, Gokuhara. I hope you pursue it.”
Gonta didn’t think much about his future career; after all, people in his life didn’t really give a damn about his interests for him to bloom into a potential career. Yet, with (Y/N), Gonta felt almost.. hopeful.
“What do you want to be when you’re out of school?” asked Gonta, trying his best to make small time with his crush.
“No clue!” (Y/N) let out a laugh and turned on their side, facing Gonta. They added to Gonta, “If I had a choice, I would be a writer but I know my parents are gonna make me do something stupid like be a doctor or a lawyer.”
“..You should pursue writing,” Gonta remembered the poem (Y/N) shared for the school’s annual poetry contest. A first place winner that poem was, it managed to move the hearts of many, Gonta included. (Y/N) looked surprised but concealed it with another laugh, “Maybe.. maybe,” and told Gonta, “We should hang out more, Gokuhara. You’re fun to be around.”
Gonta’s heart skipped a beat at those words, You’re fun to be around.
He didn’t have any friends... could (Y/N) be his first one?

The Academy Award® winner about star-crossed love that spans the years – and the globe. After her triumph as the lunchroom temptress in the crime classic The Postman Always Rings Twice, Lana Turner expanded her range with Green Dolphin Street. Set in 19th century Europe and New Zealand, this sweeping romance tells the story of two beautiful sisters, one headstrong (Turner) and one gentle (Donna Reed), and of the man (Richard Hart) who marries one even though he loves the other. The film’s riptides of emotion are matched by breathtaking physical tumult: a fierce Maori uprising plus a catastrophic earthquake and tidal wave that earned the film a 1947 Oscar® for special effects. With its dramatic story and spectacular visuals, Green Dolphin Street drew huge audiences for epic moviemaking, being one of the top-ten box office hits of the year.

The job – a career breakthrough – is supposed to go to hoofer Johnny Brett, but a mix-up in names gives it to his partner. Another example of Broadway hopes dashed? Not when Johnny is played by Fred Astaire. Sparkling Cole Porter songs, clever comedy and dance legends Astaire and Eleanor Powell make the final Broadway Melody (co-starring George Murphy) a film to remember. Powell’s nautical “All Ashore" routine (a/k/a I Am the Captain”), Astaire’s blissful “I’ve Got My Eyes on You” and Fred & Eleanor's elaborate routine to Cole Porter's classic "I Concentrate On You" are more than enough to please any fan. But they’re just a warm-up for the leads to tap one finale number into immortality: “Begin the Beguine,” introduced by Frank Sinatra in That’s Entertainment! with, “You can wait around and hope, but you’ll never see the likes of this again.”

Framed for manslaughter after he breaks a story about city corruption, reporter Frank Ross is sure he’ll prove his innocence and walk out of prison a free man. But that’s not how the system works at Rocky Point Penitentiary. There, cellblock guards are vicious, the jute-mill labor is endless, and the powers Ross fought on the outside conspire to keep him in. Frank’s hope is turned to hopelessness. And he’s starting to crack. Two of the screen’s famed tough guys star in this prison movie that casts a reform-minded eye on the brutalizing effects of life in the slammer. James Cagney “hits a white-hot peak as [Ross,] the embittered, stir-crazy fall guy” (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide). And George Raft (Cagney’s friend since their vaudeville days) portrays racketeer Hood Stacey, who may hold the key to springing Ross.

ive been posting about my codex!wendy au on twitter for a couple days now but instead of just copy and pasting what i wrote on there ill actually expand upon it a little. also this post is gonna be really long but theres pictures so i hope that helps
if theres any moment where the timeline splits (not including moments before this that may have had a butterfly effect), it would be william carters train crash in 1904, which.... did not happen in this universe. he, with no small amount of shame, moves in with his rich and successful brother.
wendy and abigail grow up having, essentially, an extra parent, which thankfully means abigail didnt die. with their mother long gone, when jack dies in 1919 (not of magic-y reasons, just like... a heart attack or something), william is left to take care of the twins alone. he tries to find jobs so he could work himself to death and at least save his nieces, but due to his general lack of competence, he isnt finding much that can actually sustain them all.
wendy and abigail, who have noticed this despite williams protests that everything is fine, decide to do the smartest thing they can think of: run away from home so william only needs to take care of himself. im sure you can see why this is a bad idea, even in a universe without the codex umbra, but boy does it get significantly worse for them very quickly.
wendy gets hit by a car. abigail runs for help, but by the time she gets back, wendy is fine. and clutching a strange book.
over the course of the next few weeks, wendy and abigail manage to scrounge up a little money, and between this, wendy shows abigail some neat tricks the codex umbra taught her. abigail suggests, a bit jokingly, that maybe they could become magicians. the codex wendy thinks this is a great idea.
[transcription of text: “THE AMAZING MARY, Performing feats to astound and mystify”]
at the codex umbras suggestion, wendy adopts a stage name, “mary,” and the twins perform their first show. it goes very well, and they make a lot of money, so they decide to keep doing this, and hopefully save enough to go back home and take care of their uncle.
mary and abigail perform many magic shows, and end up becoming beloved around the country. admittedly they do get a bit lost in the sauce, but theyre teenagers, wouldnt you? except, mary often times seems to forget they theyre doing this for their uncle at all. in fact, mary seems all-around real different these days.
mary becomes far colder, more secretive, and will lock herself in her study for days at a time. abigail notices her sisters change in personality, and attributes it to the fame going to her head. unlike charlie, abigail never realized quite how deep mary had gotten into the codex.
mary and abigails final act goes very similarly to maxwell and charlies. theyre going through the routine when something goes horribly wrong, and theyre grabbed by the codex and taken to the constant. mary becomes the queen, and abigail the night monster.
mary rules much like her uncle, and brings most of the same people into her world. the differences are as such:
maxwell is still william carter, who replaces wilson as the “all-around” type. if he was in the game, he would only have slightly lower hunger drain, and otherwise be identical to wilson without a beard
charlie has taken the role of wendy, so to speak... winona died in a factory accident (the very same one that would have taken her to the constant in another life), and charlie keeps her soul in a rose
webber becomes the “canonical” protagonist instead of wilson. i would have made it william, but it is ultimately important that the protagonist is someone uninvolved in the carter relationship chart
wilson is actually a half-decent scientist so he replaces winona, i guess
adventure mode is the same but i wrote some quotes for funsies, here we go:
A Cold Reception
Looks like you found my portal.
Haven’t you learned “curiosity kills the cat?”
Let’s see if I can’t up the stakes a bit.
King of Winter
Oh, you survived, that’s fun.
Just remember, you need to be lucky four more times...
But I only need to be lucky once.
The Game is Afoot
Huh? You’re still alive?
That’s... impressive. I’m interested to see how this will go.
Break a leg out there.
Archipelago
How do you do?
This has been fun. You’re a good playmate.
But I think you should know I had a nasty habit of breaking my toys.
Two Worlds
How do you do?
I know you may not want to make another deal with me, but...
I’ll just give you all of this for free.
Food, gold, pigs, anything you want from this world.
All I want in return is for you to stay put, okay?
Darkness
Go ahead.
Keep going.
I think we both know what will happen.
Epilogue
You found me.
Was it what you hoped for?
Forgive me for not giving you a curtsy.
For what it’s worth, you were a fun playmate.
To me, at least. Maybe not to Them.
Maybe They’ll find you more fun when you’re here.
They’ll show you beautiful, terrifying things.
It’d be best if you didn’t fight it.
I’ve worked so hard to make this world.
I’ve made it so pretty for Them.
I thought I was so smart. So needed.
But even Queens are bound to the board.
In the end, I can’t change the game.
I’m not quite sure what They want.
Perhaps we’re just performing for Them.
Though that may be my mind playing tricks on me.
Hm. What year is it? Time is weird here.
Go ahead, stay as long as you like.
It’s not like I can throw you out.
Or you could put the key in and get it over with.
It’s a lose-lose situation.
That’s life, though, isn’t it?
...I think I’m done for now.
i also drew some disconnected cyclum-ish comics:
[transcript of text:
Mary: "After all I've done, you still help me. Why?"
Webber: "We trust you."
Mary: (offscreen) "I don't understand."
Webber: "If you were gonna do something, you already would have."
Mary: "I just don't understand."
Webber: (offscreen) "It's okay, Mary, you don't have to."]
[transcript of text:
William: "I missed you so much! I was worried sick, I can't even be mad at you..." (rambling)
Mary: "I... I'm sorry, do I know you?"]
im very much still developing this au but thats what i have so far.
#cant catch me gay thoughts#dont starve#don't starve#hi dont starve tags hope you have fun with this one <3

HTaHHQ Episode 3: The Vengeance of an Artist (part 2)
And here's the final part! Looks like the prank went pretty well, and Stacy's warmed up to another Puppet. At least, to the point where she won't run in fear. Maybe, she'll even help him with more stuff in the future.
Next episode will be out... idk. Might be the next thing I write actually. Until then, hope y'all have a good time. :D
"Miss Stein, I have a job for you."
"I don't have to do any jobs for you." Stacy told him, voice kept deliberately even. Nick felt a little put out, holding Scout up by her arm. The handpuppet just hung there,
"You doing one for Daisy." he argued, pointing at the little blue annoyance. Stacy huffed and, to his shock, stalked forward to outright snatch the smaller Puppet from his grasp.
"Don't hold her like that!" She admonished, settling Scout on her head. "Daisy will kill you if you hurt her."
'How odd.' He thought, watching Stacy handle the little cretin. Outwardly, he sighed. "Yes yes, I'm well aware of her temper. Now, come along. We have a job to do."
"We have to wait here for Mary." Stacy told him sternly, and he smirked.
"Oh, don't worry about her. She'll be busy for quite a while yet."
In the writers' room, Mary slammed her hands on her desk in frustration, a mess of papers spread out in front of her. "Why the fuck does he always wait until Friday to request plot and script changes?!"
"She'll be done soon enough, but it gives us enough time for you to help me." Nick told Stacy, who frowned. This wasn't good at all.
"... I still need to stay with Danny though." She tried, desperate to find any reason to refuse. This wasn't at all like when Scout took her to the playroom.
"He can come with and help." Nick told them, turning and starting to wheel away. "Now, come along. We're wasting time."
Danny seemed happy enough to tag along, but Stacy kept a tight grip on his hand as they followed Nick down the hall and to the elevator by the door. He inserted his key card, and then stood aside to let the kids on first. Stacy climbed into the tiny box nervously. The only reason she was deciding to trust him was because she knew the playroom was up there, and she could hide in there with Danny if needed.
Up, up, up they went, to the highest floor. And then down the winding halls to a plain door with a hazard sign and the words KEEP OUT underneath it in bright red. It was also covered in various science themed stickers, like cartoonish beakers full of bright colors, and various medical tools. It didn't take a genius to know who slept in here.
"Why are we outside of Riley's bedroom?" Stacy asked, and then immediately regretted it when Nick coughed lightly into his fist. That was the cue that he was about to go into a monologue. She recognized it, because he used to do it at least once a episode in the show.
"Well, since she stole my beloved paints, I've decided to do some research into her "science", and found that replacing her beakers with these ones made of sugar glass will be hilarious." He held out the beakers, and scoffed when he noticed Stacy's look. "Oh don't give me that look, she keeps all her dangerous chemicals elsewhere. She just likes to keep her beakers for the show up here where it's "safe". It'll be great when they melt during Monday's filming."
"And why do you need me?" The girl asked. She fought the urge to cross her arms and tap her foot, though her impatience still leaked into her voice.
"I'm banned from Riley's room." Nick deadpanned, and it took everything Stacy had to not facepalm. Of course. "Also, Danny told me you're good at breaking into places you're not supposed to be."
"Danny! That's a secret!" She rounded on him, feeling her face go hot.
"But Nick asked!" The boy insisted unapologetically. "And besides, you said it was a good skill."
"No, I said it was a good skill to know, not a good skill by itself. Also, stop telling people stuff about me!" She looked mad, and Nick thought that was a good thing. Certainly a better look then the scared little girl he and the others usually saw. Now if he could just encourage her to lose the baggy shirts... but no. Plan the makeover for another time. For now, it was time for revenge!
He cleared his throat, wheeling closer and holding the box of beakers out. "Will you do it, or not?" He asked bluntly, and Stacy crossed her arms.
"I am not getting involved in your stupid little-"
"I'll give you fifty dollars." He whipped out the fifty from a hidden pocket in his sweater, and the girl stopped mid sentence. After a beat she snatched the bill, turning and crouching in front of the door. She tucked the money under her right glove, pulling out a couple of slim tools as she did so.
"I can't believe I'm selling myself for a fifty." She muttered as she unlocked the door. It was surprisingly simple, and it made her feel uneasy as she put the tools away. She grabbed the box of beakers, then handed off Scout. She peered inside, noting the lack of Riley or Rosco. "It looks empty." She told Nick, who waved her on.
With a nervous swallow, she entered the too bright room, the door closing most of the way behind her. There was a large table in the middle, and a messily made bed shoved in one corner. The walls were covered in shelves that were full of books on all sorts of subjects. Any other time, and she would've loved to see just what kinds of books were there. But, she had a job to do.
She crossed to the shelf that held the box of beakers, and quickly swapped it for the identical fakes. Holding the box of real beakers close, she crossed the room back to the door. she heard something open behind her, Riley's voice drifting through. Thinking quick, she ducked under the table, hopeful it would be enough.
"Let's see, if we do the mentos experiment again that should be good enough. Could have the kiddies make volcanoes..." She muttered as she wheeled past. Stacy stayed huddled down, hands over her mouth to muffle her breathing. She watched the stand stop by a shelf, followed by the sound of fabric hitting fabric as she threw something to the bed. "Maybe baking soda? That might work better. Or maybe as a comparison between the two... Yes! That would be fantastic for an experiment!" Pencil against paper, and then the sound of things being moved. Stacy threw a desperate look towards where the door was still ajar.
Technically, Stacy could sneak out if she was quick. Riley was still talking to herself, and seemed distracted enough. But, she didn't know which way the Puppet scientist was facing. If she was facing the door, Stacy would be caught immediately, and then they'd all be in deep dookie. And she couldn't check, because, again, deep dookie if she was caught.
But, she couldn't just sit there for forever. And so, with a deep, quiet breath, Stacy leaned carefully out from under the table, just enough to check where Riley was looking. To her luck, it looked like her attention was completely absorbed by the books. A glance back at the door showed it had opened a little bit wider, with Scout, Nick, and Danny all peering in at her. Okay, she could work with this.
Carefully, she set the box of beakers down with as little noise as possible. With any luck, they wouldn't be noticed under the table. She then resettled into a runners starting position, noting how Nick was on her left and Danny on her right. 'Perfect.'
With a bang she burst through the door, grabbing Nick's sweater while scooping her brother up in her right arm. She managed to turn and drag them both out of sight as a startled "What the-" followed her out of the room. She turned another corner before finally letting go of both of them, hopeful that Riley hadn't seen them. And that she wouldn't try and follow them.
Unfortunately for Nick, he had been precariously balanced on one wheel during the escape. So, when Stacy let go of his sweater, he tipped over immediately with a loud thump. Scout landed on his chest, having been safely in his arms during the whole thing.
"That was totally awesome!" She yelled, as Stacy tried to shush her. She was still holding Danny, who was clapping, and thus didn't have a hand free to stop the Puppet from flinging herself at her face.
"Scout, shut up!" She hissed, grabbing her. She covered her mouth and waited to make sure Riley hadn't heard. "You can't let her know we're up here, or we could get in trouble."
"Oh please, like I'd let that happen." Nick had somehow righted himself, "standing" straight as ever and talking in a low voice. "Besides, you at least get to be up here since you became Scout's babysitter. Don't pout, it's true." He told Scout when she opened her mouth to object.
"Yeah, but we should still get out of here before she finds us!" Stacy insisted, ignoring Danny's pushing at her arm. She finally noticed as he kicked her side, jumping a bit and putting him down. "Oh, sorry Danny." She grabbed his hand, not wanting him to wander off and alert Riley.
"Right. Come along, this way." He led them down another hallway, a different way to get to the elevator without having to backtrack. This time there was no place to slide a key-card, which made sense. They were already in the forbidden area after all. They got inside, staying quiet the whole ride down.
Once back on the main floor, Stacy expected to go back to the Sound Stage, where her and Danny were before. Instead, Nick led them to the writing offices, and she watched as the Puppets and Danny disappeared into Mary's office. Stacy hung back, lingering in the hall to look around a little.
The doors had windows with frosted glass on them, like in the old noir movies her dad liked to watch. As a result she couldn't see inside, so instead she crouched down to peer into the keyhole of Mortimer's office.
The Puppet was there, bent over some paperwork, hat sitting on the desk next to him. Stacy thought he looked weird with it off, and not how he was supposed to. She looked away after a moment, content the magician wasn't doing anything potentially dangerous to anyone. Instead she finally followed the others into Mary's office, where her stepmother was berating Nick for something.
She stepped into the room, letting the door close softly behind her and cutting off Mary's tirade.
"Oh, there you are! Go get your stuff Stacy, we're leaving now before I commit a murder." She told the girl, who nodded and quickly left the room again. Danny followed a moment later.
"Mommy's mad." He told her, and she nodded as her voice rose behind them.
"-and how DARE you do this to me now! You know better! Do I really need to talk to Mortimer about this again?!"
"Real mad. Let's hurry so we can get home!" Together they rushed to collect their bags from Stacy's locker. However, during the walk back, she couldn't keep her mind from wandering to the little adventure earlier.
'Maybe Nick's not so bad. He didn't say anything about my lock picking skills at least. Maybe... Maybe I could do more jobs for him. Later.'
