Shoutout to one of the best yet criminally underrated fictional characters in modern cinema: Chower, from Monster House, and all his meme-worthy lines:
“This is why no one will sit with us at lunch.”
“Oh my god, I think I’m having a stroke!”
“Did we just get upchucked?”
“I think you’re just freakin’ out because you killed a guy today.”
“Oh, so it’s a *girl* house.”
“My Dad's at the pharmacy and my Mom's at the movies with her personal trainer."
“Hey, guys! Look who just won! It's me, The Screw-Up!”
• Chowder LOVES HALLOWEEN! 🎃 💜 It’s his second favorite holiday. (His first favorite is Thanksgiving 🦃 🥔 🌽 🧅 🍠 🥧.)
• He wears a pumpkin costume!
• Mung forces Shnitzel to take him trick or treating.
• Whenever someone is serving candy at their door, Chowder would not only consume all the candy but also the bowl itself.
• Every year, the purple bunny would eat so much candy that he would grow all big and round like a ball, and Schnitzel would always have to be the one to roll him back to the kitchen.
Mung Daal:
• Mung loves entering the gang and himself in costume contests. (He remembers last Halloween where they went dressed as The Addams Family. Mung was Gomez, Truffles was Morticia, Schnitzel was Wednesday, Chowder was Pugsley, and somehow Kimchi was Uncle Fester.)
• He loves cooking up Halloween-themed dishes.
• He'll hardcore flirt with women in revealing outfits.
• THE KING OF THE THRILLER DANCE!
• Every year, he’d come up with a creative plan to mess up Endive’s kitchen. (He either teepees the place or covers it in silly string or eggs.)
Shnitzel:
• Shnitzel is the type of rock person who believes that you’re never too old for Halloween.
• His favorite Halloween jams are "The Monster Mash", "The Original Ghostbusters Theme", and "I Put A Spell On You" from Hocus Pocus.
• He DOES NOT like haunted houses! THEY’RE HAUNTED!
• He likes telling ghost stories, that is, until a real ghost shows up, then he gets scared, screams like a girl, and passes out.
• He likes lifting up heavy pumpkins and carving them.
Truffles:
• MAMA LOVES HALLOWEEN! (Even more than Chowder does.)
• Likes to get Halloween-themed nail designs on her nails.
• The ghosts and ghouls of the night are scared of her.
• She's on candy duty at the door.
• Once the trick-or-treaters are gone for the night, she will eat the rest of the candy in a secret room and hiss at anyone who comes near. Truffles does NOT like to share.
Random AU Babble: Concept Monster House AU crossover with the Flashlight Duo? XP
OK I WAS GENUINELY THINKING ABOUT THIS but it would be more like, fnaf characters in the ROLES of characters and they dont share the same relationships as the characters in the movie do.
Nebbercracker and constance would be so tricky because sure, nebbercracker and constance are the villains, but at the end of the movie you're supposed to like them, and they have tragic story, and nebbercracker is nice afterwards. so it couldnt be William afton as the villain, it would have to be henry
but henry has no indication of having a wife, so theres not even a fanon made up mrs emily like there is with mrs afton. Henry's constance would have to be a different character and possibly not even share the husband/wife relationship
but at that point, it feels like the story just doesn't work or is changed too much to feel right. I mean flashlight duo can still be dj and chowder (with Cassie as jenny) but everything after that I'm not sure about
plus, vanessa would be zee and vanessa would never bring strange men over to gregorys house and let him rip up Gregory's belongings
Music from those hands could
Catch you like a spell
He could make you love him
'Fore the tune was done
There’s something mesmerizing about Chowder’s hands. The way he plays goalie is kind of eye-catching in itself, but watching him play piano is an entirely other occupation.
Privately, Dex thinks that Nursey buying a baby grand for their Denver apartment wasn’t actually the waste he’d bitched about when he was 22 and stupid and didn’t know what his NHL contract would mean in real life and didn’t know what Nursey’s royalties would come out to in the next couple years.
Privately, Dex is wondering what kind of piano he can get for their house in Maine so that Chowder has something really nice to play in the summer, too.
Nursey’s behind Dex before Dex can move out of the doorway, transfixed as he is by the magic flowing its way out of Chowder’s hands and into the room.
“I know you’re standing there,” Chowder says, still playing, fingers still flying. “There’s furniture in here, babes.”
Dex makes a kind of strangled noise, and he feels Nursey choke on air.
“Not blind, just playing,” their boyfriend adds. “I’ll stop if you keep standing there like weirdos.”
“Uh,” Nursey adds, helpful as always.
Chowder switches to the Jaws theme, which is kind of startling enough to get Nursey moving.
Dex slides in behind Chowder instead and drapes himself over his boyfriend instead, and Nursey, after a moment, follows him.
“Piano bench is uncomfortable for hug piles,” Chowder comments, but Dex can feel his smile against his bicep so the point is kind of moot.
“Music rings true to the soul,” Nursey mutters into Chowder’s hair, sounding half-asleep.
“Mhh-hm,” Chowder says, and shares a look with Dex, one that says you’re carrying him and also I love you so much.
“If you weren’t so good we wouldn’t have to hug you,” Dex mumbles gruffly, and Chowder laughs, bright and glad.
“Just remember we have to save our cellys for after games, now,” he tells Dex.
It’s true - since joining the NHL and playing without Nursey and Chowder, Dex has gotten an awful lot ore post-game cuddles, ostensibly to make up for the ones he missed out on in the game, but probably just because his boyfriends are cuddle monsters.
“I’m going to be a pancake, soon,” Chowder says, after a moment, so Dex hauls Nursey into his arms and carries him into their bedroom and into bed, and they all tumble in together, arms around arms and legs over legs, breath mingling and skin touching, love pressed against love.
Watching some old CN Christmas cartoons on YT; Chowder Knishmas episode come on and when the monster spits out the gift, I was immediately reminded of the All Through the House episode of Love, Death & Robots.
Ooh! Spongebob as a DJ Walters and Patrick as a Chowder and Sandy as a Jenny Bennett!
It's so good, but i didn't put the backgrounds... i'm sorry, so.. great maybe, i swear to god for that.. They wear that clothes cause from a ✨MONSTER HOUSE~✨
My idea on who (from other works) would be great candidates to be part of the Animorphs
So basically, here are who I feel would fit perfectly alongside the Animorph gang (Ax, Cassie, Jake, Marco, Rachel and the Auxiliary Animorphs)
*This is a mixture of what I like/are interested in and what other people like/are interested in. So just because I mention them doesn't necessarily mean I'm a fan of the work they are from*
Lastly, I'm adding what I personally feel would fit, however feel free to add onto this if you see something that I might have missed. Also, if I get anything wrong, feel free to correct me. (I'm doing my best to put research into this)
By the way, for this, assume that they have all been given the morphing ability by the morphing cube
