animaniacs - s1e58: meet john brain

man, season 1 just goes on for forever, huh?

episode summary: brain decides he’s sick of Silly Plans That Don’t Work and runs for president instead. this is the only sensible thing he’s done all series.

the rundown:

we open at brain painting on a big canvas.

obviously he’s mouse sized, so he needs a complicated mechanism made out of office supplies to help him reach the tall bits. i’m not sure why he didn’t just put it on the floor? maybe he just didn’t want to get dirty.

“what’s tonight’s plan to take over the world, brain? a gizmo? a thingy?”

“your scientific jargon staggers me, pinky, but tonight, we will not rely on science. but rather, we will play the world’s game.”

“do you know what that game is?”

“um. mystery date? twister?”

pinky just loves twister, apparently! so much so that he decides to demonstrate to brain how it works. good thing he wasn’t doing anything important!

oh dear. “the... cable, pinky, the cable--”

lol.

once they manage to pick themselves up off the floor, brain informs pinky that the world’s game is politics, and he plans to win this game by running for president.

i’m not.... entirely sure what’s up with the animation in this episode. they just kind of look funny??? i couldn’t place why, it’s just... odd.

“and once i am ensconced in the white house, i will take over the world!”

which is usually where pinky would cut in with a BRILLIANT BRAIN BUT WAIT WHAT IF THE USPS GETS DISBANDED but.... instead he just says “naaaaaaaaaarf”, which doesn’t really help, but sure.

so we cut to larry kling, live, (left) with susanne slimmers (right) and the thigh monster (middle). larry is taking calls, apparently, and the first call they get is a woman asking susanne how she stays looking so good.

personally, she looks horrifying (kind of like that lady back in bubba bo bob brain?) but she attributes it to the aforementioned thigh monster, complete with a demonstration.

“i could watch that all day.”

okay, weirdo. the second caller is brain.

“my name is john brain.” he says, very cutely, in his little mouse suit. where does he get so many little suits? this is a completely different one from the world can wait.

“while i admire susanne’s interests, i am here for another purpose.”

“and what purpose might that be?”

“i would like to announce my candidacy for president of the united states.”

“you’re running for president, mr brain-- why are you doing that?”

why indeed. brain informs him very honestly that he intends to take over the world, and they both laugh at him.

so there’s that. “keep that sense of humour”, says Human Larry. “you’ll need that on the campain trail.”

still, brain is undeterred.

as this weirdly proportioned man tells us, brain is speaking “to reporters through remote broadcast any minute now.” he’s a lot timelier today than he is in “yes, always”, and appears shortly afterwards.

“good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the press.” cute! but exclusionary. “your questions?”

that sure is a lot of questions. jeez.

“mr brain, have you chosen a running mate to be your vice president?”

“yes, i have. meet admiral pinky.”

“narf!! hee hee hee what am i doing here???”

“naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf.”

“mr brain, why have you not yet appeared in public?”

“i’m working on my plan for the presidency.”

“uh huh. and what might that be?”

“cut the deficit, lower taxes, and then take over the world.”

you can’t really tell in this screenshot, but everyone here is laughing, because they find world conquest hilarious, i suppose.

and hell yeah! so do the Average Americans, Like You And Me. Excellent.

“i like him.”

“mr brain, you appear to have very large ears, a red nose, and fur growing on your head. there are concerns about your health.”

“i’m as healthy as any mouse! as long as i stay away from cats. ha ha ha.”

you’re, uh, not going to mention the tail broken in three places then, i guess. despite the fact that he is very obviously a mouse, the Average Americans Like You And Me decide that he must be speaking metaphorically, the “mouse” being him, the little guy, and the “cats” being the fat cats that usually get into politics. he’s an Average American! Like You And Me!

they like him!

everyone likes him, it seems.

conclusion:

so brain manages to convince everyone, through a comedy of errors, that he is for the finer tenents of american society.

“when i take over the country, everyone will work for me.”

“he means jobs! jobs for everyone!”

“if people oppose me, i’ll teach them a lesson.”

“thank goodness he’s for better education!”

“so surrender quietly and nobody will be hurt.”

“yes! healthcare!”

so, being classically unable to spot the terrifying dictator* in their government, america universally decide they like john brain, and now he’s leading in the polls.

good for him. *yknow, i’m pretty sure brain’s policies aren’t usually that bad? i was definitely under the impression that he wanted to rule the world to make it a better place? maybe this is before the Character Development got to him.

or it’s just funny, i guess.

anyway brain is doing well enough that he decides to make his first public appearance, which is a bold move.

“it’s time to meet john brain!” it’s probably more that he just needed a first name to be president, but.... maybe his name was john this whole time and he just doesn’t use it because it’s not as glamourous and terrifying. “i am the john. you are under my control” like it just doesn’t scan. whatever.

but anyway, he’s making a big thing of it.

WE WANT JOHN BRAIN WE WANT JOHN BRAIN

and here he is!

hm.

“greetings!”

“he really is a mouse!”

BOOOOOO BOOO BOOOOOOO BOOOO. HISS. BOOOO

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. BOOOOOOOOOO. BOOOOO.

i don’t know how these people didn’t notice beforehand, but, yknow, whatever.

“but-- please, when i take over i promise to rule in a fair and just manner--”

donk.

and then everyone runs away, i guess.

this is just really sad.

brain: 3 ½ pinky: 5 ½ outside influence: 6

“mistah bwain, you’ve captivated the voters’ common sense, but what about you personally? are you married?”

“yes! allow me to introduce my lovely wife, pinkinia.”

“hello barbara! zort! i am woman, hear me roar!”

“aaahahahahahahahaha narf!”

#a!#patb #animaniacs #pinky and the brain #this was a sad episode!!!#he did everything right!!!!#poor lil bean!!!#this does not bode well for his future career lol

Request: Stripper AU, but Shane’s the stripper and no one knows until Ryan ends up at the club where Shane works because it’s a new club.

I’ve seen this prompt floating around tumblr recently but I’ve never seen someone make Shane the stripper in this AU, so kudos to you anon for being creative and providing us with some god-tier stripper!Shane content. I mean, look at that boy’s legs!

sweet as wine

There he was, like disco superfly I smell sex and candy here Who's that lounging in my chair?

Read below the cut or here on ao3

Look— none of this would have happened if Steven Lim wasn’t a scheming little weasel who doesn’t respect the sanctity of Chubby Have I Bunnied.

“Never have I ever lived in Arcadia, California,” Steven said through a mouthful of marshmallows.

It was foul— but fair play, and an obvious payback for Ryan’s earlier targeted question at Steven. Ryan laughed and begrudgingly fit another extra large marshmallow into his cheeks, nudging Shane.

“I feel like you have” he smiled, pointing a finger at him.

“Hm? Have I ever lived in Arcadia, California?”

“Oh, I thought you said slept,” Ryan snorted, a rogue marshmallow falling out of his mouth like a crewmate jumping ship.

Shane bit his lip, remembering that one time, years ago when he and Ryan had just started working at Buzzfeed as interns, Ryan inviting him to stay at his parents’ house in Arcadia. He remembered that night all too clearly— the night of their first and only kiss. It was as though they reached some silent agreement to never mention it again, and Shane didn’t dare to, keeping their work relationship and his own feelings separate. But that was ages ago, and even if Shane’s feelings were still virulent in moments like these when Ryan looked soft and sure, leaning into his space, he had gone this long without mentioning it.

No need to ruin a good thing, he thought bitterly, and begun to wonder if he would have to dig out that old journal sooner than expected.

Ryan had lost the game, forced to spit a congealed mess of mashed-up marshmallow into the staff sink, much to the mutual disgust of his co-hosts, and that’s when shit hit the fan.

“Ryan, since you’re the loser, I think you should face punishment of some sorts,” Steven said thoughtfully, grinning as he reclined back in his chair.

“Now, now, let’s be civil,” Shane tutted, Ryan rising to meet Steven’s eye beside him.

“Like what?”

“Oh, I don’t know...” Steven hummed, twiddling his fingers. Shane could practically hear the gears turning in his head.

Steven and Ryan had always had this peculiar rivalry of sorts. It was usually victimless and in terms of workplace conflict, relatively mild, but sometimes it got carried away. Shane could think of about ten different instances off the top of his head where the two had gone head-to-head.

“What about...you have to go to a strip-club—“

“What?!” Ryan burst into laughter, head tilting towards the ceiling as he snorted into his hands, “Wha— why?”

“—for two hours, with the boys,” Steven finished, “Come on, Ryan, it’ll be fun.”

Shane instantly paled, pulse hot and wild beneath his skin, Ryan’s laughter muffled below the ringing in his ears. He swallowed thickly, only shaken from his thoughts by Ryan’s hand, searing hot on his thigh.

“What do you say, Big Guy? You, me, Big Apple Steve, and T.J. out on the town this Friday?”

Shane looked at Ryan’s sunshine smile, those glittering brown eyes, completely unaware of the inner turmoil Steven’s simple gag had sent him into. Ryan’s touch seemed to brand his skin beneath his skinny jeans. He shivered, putting on what he hoped was a composed face.

“Sorry, boys,” he said breezily, “m’afraid I’ve got plans.”

“Booooo,” Steven called after him as he hobbled unsteadily to his feet, making a bee-line for the water cooler.

Ryan laughed, adding a few taunts of his own, but as Shane cooled his burning face against his aluminum water bottle, he noticed Ryan’s curious glance, as if trying to read Shane’s mind

____

Okay—Shane hadn’t lied. He really was busy on Friday night. What important plans he had, he couldn’t say, not even as Ryan continued to pester him for the rest of the week. He supposes that considering the nature of said aforementioned plans, it would have been wiser to cancel them altogether and just tag along. It would be easier right? He could see Ryan get drunk and danced upon by a few scantily-clad women and then Uber it back home after knocking back a few brewskis himself. But it wasn’t his fault— how was he supposed to know that the strip club Steven would drag Ryan to would be the same strip club Shane worked at?

Look, Shane wasn’t down on his luck by any means— he had recently started a promising new company with two of his closest friends and colleagues, and was still receiving a cushy contracting cheque from Buzzfeed for their Unsolved series. And despite his recent exit out of a long-term relationship, he liked to think he was doing pretty well, co-parenting a cat with a woman he still very much considered a good friend. But Los Angeles was an expensive place to live, and despite his nonchalant attitude in the Watcher Weekly, he couldn’t help but wonder, if it all went south, what would his backup plan be?

Besides, why did strippers always need some tragic background story to justify what they do? Couldn’t they just dance because they enjoyed it?

Shane certainly did, and it came as a real surprise. He never actually expected to take his brother’s friend up on the offer when Finn dragged him to a bar one weekend. They were four drinks in, intoxicated by the booze and fluorescent lights of the dim club, but that single passing comment ended up thrusting Shane into what would eventually become his side job and newfound passion.

“You could probably strip,” he joked, knocking back some fruity drink, “got the legs for it and everything.”

The guy was piss-drunk and drenched in body glitter— not exactly the kind of person you would take moral advice from, but nevertheless, Shane woke the next morning with a pounding head and an odd curiosity. It was a joke at first— like one of those bizarre hypotheticals your brain sometimes conjures up. But you never actually act on them. The only problem was that he did, and by the time he had secured his first gig, he could no longer deny that he was actually interested in a job like this. Okay, so what? He was a young, attractive man living in a particularly liberal part of L.A.

He shouldn’t have to prove himself, or feel ashamed about what he does. Hell, half the people he worked with were gay and heavily involved in the nightclub scene. And yet still, he found himself choosing not to mention this particular part of his life to his coworkers— especially not Ryan.

It just never came up, and Shane never thought that it would— that was before Ryan showed up at his strip club.

____

The atmosphere hit Ryan like a freight train the second two intimidating bouncers begrudgingly lifted up two velvet ropes, letting him, Steven, and T.J. into the nightclub.

It was rather upscale, and nothing like the sleazy, smoke-filled joints Ryan remembered from his college days. The walls were black marble, lined with tasteful vintage band posters and neon hanging emblems. An authentic-looking jukebox sat nestled in the corner, and along the stage, a line of attractive dancers had started to form.

“I can’t believe they still I.D’ed me at the door,” Ryan shouted above the music, vibrating intensely through the floor and walls.

Steven grinned, “Well, you know what they say— Asian don’t raisin.”

“What—“ Ryan laughed, unaware if Steven could even hear him over the noise, “I’ve never heard that before.”

Steven smiled and nodded towards a nearby waitress, leaning in closer to Ryan’s ear, “Maybe you can try to get a free drink. You never know!”

T.J. rolled his eyes, “Meet me at the bar by twelve. And try not to do anything that’s going to get us arrested.”

With that he left, striking up a conversation with the bartender. T.J. was a married man with a newborn baby at home— a strip club was the last place he wanted to be, but he obliged to humour Ryan and to provide a ride home if needed. Ryan, however was recently single. He and Mari had broke things off amicably about a month prior, giving her more freedom to explore her blooming career and Ryan more opportunities to film things for Watcher without feeling guilty about time spent away from home. They were on good terms, but breakups were never easy, and Ryan was more than happy to get his mind off the situation and get himself back into the dating pool. He suspected Steven’s intentions were as such when he suggested this in the first place, and overcome with a sudden wave of affection for the man, slung an arm around his shoulder.

“C’mon, Big Apple Steve. Let’s go find us some dancers.”

_____

The performances were impressive. Sultry but tasteful, dozens of dancers strutted the stage, winding around glimmering silver poles like black cats, smoky eyes glittering down at the crowd. There were a few men in the mix too, clad in tight, cropped black clothes, rippling with muscle underneath. Ryan paid no mind to them, used to L.A.’s diverse, open culture, and after knocking back a few drinks, he even found himself eyeing them as much as the girl performers. It was then that his heart stopped dead in his chest, pushing away the slow haze of liquor from his mind as his eyes zeroed in on one tall figure working the stage.

The man was unbelievably tall— towering above the rest of the performers, even the ones in six-inch heels. Through the rips in his black jeans, he could see his pale skin, broken up by delicate lace fishnets clinging to his slim long legs. As the man peeled his shirt off, his collarbones jutted outwards, lean muscle trailing downwards from between his chest. His makeup was minimal— just smudged black eyeliner and a light dusting of glitter down his cheeks and pecs, hair mussed up as if he’d just had sex. He swayed gracefully to the music, toying with the button of his jeans teasingly, stalking the pole like a predator before swinging around it once, smoothly. Ryan’s jaw dropped, and as he made eye contact with the stranger, the man visibly blanched.

“I...” Ryan choked out, pants alarmingly tight as a hot coil wound inside his stomach.

And then Shane was running off the stage, disappearing behind a blue velvet curtain as the music boomed on.

“Wow,” Steven said, equally as baffled.

“I...I’m gonna go to the bathroom,” Ryan said shakily, nearly tripping over his seat.

He stumbled towards the floor, and much to his own surprise, he found himself ignoring the neon green restroom sign, heading straight for the backstage instead.

____

He found Shane hunched over a vanity with smudged makeup and a lit cigarette like a tragic Hollywood star drowning in self pity and body glitter.

“I’m not offering any private dances right now,” he grumbled, voice muffled by his hand.

“I...” Ryan said, unsure of what the proper protocol was upon finding your friend naked and grinding on a stripper pole.

He was even less sure about how to gracefully navigate that conversation with a raging boner.

“Oh,” Shane said softly, taking in a sharp breath.

“I—“

“Look—“

They both spoke at the same time, laughing quietly like it was some kind of Mexican stalement and not the singlehanded most confusing moment of their entire friendship thus far.

“You first,” Shane said almost shyly, and it occurred to Ryan then that for the first time in their dynamic, Shane might be more scared than him.

“I had no idea,” he said lamely, and cast his gaze back at his sneakers.

Nice going, Bergara. Real smooth.

Shane laughed dryly, “Yeah, that...that was kinda the whole point. Who woulda thought Steven would pick the only strip club I’m working at tonight, huh?”

Ryan smiled, scratching his neck, “Yeah. Uh— I just...” he looked at Shane, biting his lip, “Why didn’t you tell me? I know it’s none of my business what you do in your spare time but...we’re friends, Shane. You know you can share this stuff with me, right?”

Shane looked down at his lap, looking guilty, “I know, Ryan, I just...” he sighed, “I don’t know.”

“I mean,” Ryan shifted awkwardly from foot to foot. It was decidedly hard to have a serious conversation when your incredibly hot friend was half naked and sweaty in front of you. “Is it for money or—“

“No,” Shane said instantly. He shook his head, “I just...” he trailed off, looking at Ryan and offering a halfhearted shrug, “like it, I guess.”

Ryan nodded, furrowing his brows, trying to take all this information in through his beer-clouded mind.

“Okay,” he said finally.

Shane looked at him, looking surprisingly vulnerable and almost small in his chair, “Okay.”

Ryan swallowed thickly, “You were really good out there.”

Shane snorted, scratching at his chin, fingers scraping against his beard with a soft sound that send another confusing jolt of heat towards Ryan’s groin.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah,” Ryan said, surprised at how deep his voice sounded. He began to walk towards Shane, seemingly not by his own accord. “Really good.”

“You already said that,” Shane said smiling, looking amused.

“Really good,” Ryan repeated, voice husky and thick in his chest. Shane’s eyes were wide, and from their close distance, he could see as they dilated, eyes darkening further.

He licked his lips, feeling dizzy with the intensity of it all, high on the sight of Shane before him, “Still not doing any private dances tonight?”

“I...” Shane trailed off, looking at his lips, “I might be able to make an exception.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

Like moving through water, Shane slowly stood up, drawing up a chair, pushing on Ryan’s chest until he fell back into it, breaths laboured as they tore through his chest. Shane circled the chair once, twice, dragging his fingertips teasingly against Ryan’s low collar before stopping in front of him, dropping gracefully to the ground on the balls of his feet, smiling coyly at him, gripping his chin. He got up again, slowly swinging his hips and trailing his hands along his thighs, dragging them up his hardened pecs before threading them through his hair, giving it a resolute tug. He poised one of his long legs on the arm of Ryan’s chair, the impressive bulge in his jeans in direct eyesight as he dragged Ryan’s gaze up to meet his own.

Shane slowly pivoted, fully into the dance now, a small smile on his face as he ground back against Ryan, grabbing his hands and placing them on his thighs, where fishnets poked out of the leg of his jeans. Ryan’s breath faltered in his lungs, “Holy fuck,” he gasped, the air knocked out of him like he’d just taken a football to the chest. His fingers twitched along the exposed line of skin, feeling like a teenager creaming his pants after getting to first base.

What the fuck.

And then Shane was pulling away, dragging him by the hand to a small couch in the middle of the room.

“Shane, wha—“ Ryan was cut off by a strangled moan as Shane pushed him back into the cushions, straddling his lap with practiced ease.

Shane smiled against his neck, starting to trail soft kisses along his jawline as he began to unbutton Ryan’s shirt.

“Fuck, Shane, I—“ he panted nonsensically, hands exploring whatever expanse of skin he could reach.

As Shane sucked a small bruise just under his ear, Ryan’s shirt popped open, nipples immediately hardening under the cool air as Shane began to grind softly down onto him, mouthing a hot line up his neck and clavicles.

“Please, please,” Ryan moaned, reaching out for him. In his clouded mind, he wasn’t even fully aware of what he was asking for until he found it in between Shane’s parted lips. He sighed into the kiss, hands cupping Shane’s cheeks as his settled on Ryan’s shoulders, rutting dirtily against the front of his jeans. Ryan gasped into the kiss, a strangled moan torn out of his lips as Shane drew his fingers down to pad at his sensitive nipples.

“Fuck!” he groaned, thrusting his hips up to meet his movements.

“Someone’s sensitive,” Shane murmured in his ear, placing a teasing bite along his jaw.

“Shane, Shane,” he breathed, eyes rolling back into his head.

And then Shane took one pec into his mouth and Ryan Bergara was a dead man.

“Ohhh!” he borderline whined, clawing at Shane’s smooth back as he nipped at the bud, laving his tongue over it and mouthing hotly between his sternum.

He ground down once, twice, and eyes glittering, placing his mouth over his sensitive nipple, he reached down with his free hand and squeezed the bulge pressing against the zipper of Ryan’s jeans. With one plaintive moan and a stuttered, Shane, Ryan bucked his hips up and stilled, wide-eyed and flushed pink under the soft lights, “I just came in my pants,” he said suddenly. “Oh my god.”

Shane cracked up, slumping against Ryan and burying his nose in his shoulder, “Oh my god, Ryan.”

“It’s not my fault you’re so hot!” he said defensively, clinging onto Shane as he blanketed his body warmly, pressing him into the couch. He pressed a small kiss to his exposed neck, and Shane smiled.

“I’m never letting you live this one down,” he wheezed, clapping him once on the ass, “I guess the viewers were right about your nipple thing.”

“S-Shut up, Shane,” he muttered, pinching him in the arm.

Shane huffed out a laugh against his neck and as the air stilled, he shut his eyes, “So...should we talk about this?”

Ryan shifted underneath him, “Nah,” he said groggily, leaning into his touch, “let’s do that when I haven’t had five brewskis.”

“Five?” Shane laughed, “Your frat boy habits die hard, Ryan. You’re gonna be a real menace tomorrow.”

“Well,” Ryan said slowly, tracing a line down his back, “maybe you should come home with me and make sure my morning is tolerable.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah,” Ryan said, feeling emboldened with each inch he grew closer to Shane, high off the post-orgasm bliss and the smell of Shane’s cologne warm and sweet against his skin.

Shane grabbed his ass, “I fuckin’ love Steven Lim.”

As Ryan dissolved into laughter, he couldn’t help but share the sentiment. And that night when he and Shane walked out of the bar hand-in-hand, he couldn’t help but wonder if this was Steven’s plan all along.

3x14 “Fire Walk With Me” - Riverdale Reaction

“It’s this house!” I love Betty Cooper.

Ah, Cheryl, starting fights so your new girlfriend gang can finish them. Nice. I did love the “Daughter of Manson” insult.

Am I mistaken, or were the Serpents not even in that fight? Why weren’t Evelyn or Creepface Curt/Kurt brought into the office? Aren’t there like eight other rooms in this school everyone could use for a club/cult/gang?

Threatening your girlfriend. Super classy, Cheryl. Nice robe. We’ve got a lotta gang discontent this episode! Interesting tie-in to the episode.

Slow motion brainwashing acknowledgement and Betty’s waving “Bye to your braincells!” Kevin’s haircut is a little bizarre. That’s how you know they got him. No more high fashion. S1 Kevin would be appalled.

I do love that everyone was willing to help B with her housing situation and that they were in the same vicinity for some of these storylines. Betty’s velvet overalls and turtleneck confused me, but otherwise some nice wardrobe this episode.

That immunity pact was a bad idea and Gladys stinks. I enjoyed Jughead and Fangs and Sweet Pea screaming at the Gargoyles though. What’s on the back of the Gargoyle jackets? It looks like they laid in a chalk drawing or something. Did they airbrush an S on their cloth jackets knowing this allegiance was meant to be broken? A costume for their game? I’m sad Betty wasn’t there to bring some estrogen to the room because that girl in the corner on the desk was not invested.

Batting her eyelashes and playing coy about a secret casino? ROUND OF APPLAUSE for a repeat plan! Although swooshing all the set pieces away does seem smart. If Gladys and Hiram don’t break everything first.

I wonder if Pop has drawings the kids made growing up. If he’s a hoarder of mass proportions. Why can’t that be a storyline? Add it to the pile!

“I used to perform at the White Wyrm” — anyone else think Gladys meant stripper? This is so sad that Gladys is slumming up the town for a chance to SING, of all things. Getting drunk, breaking stuff, and taking advantage of people is not a good look, Gladys. Booooo! Love the swagger, lose the selfishness. Ok, thanks.

A Josie and Betty scene! Huzzah! Yes, save Kevin! Tell the parents! Does anyone…know…if that happened? No? Ok.

Hiram was egging on his associate to harass Gladys from the front row? Seems like a bad idea on his end, knowing Gladys is more likely to punch a nose than he is to get a business deal. Also, if he was gonna get a million dollar deal and V was only gonna get 5% off her 75k debt that’s a sham exchange.

They’re blackmailing my Bettykins?! Oooooh they better watch their backs. If they find pain euphoric they better be prepared for a grand ol’ time. I mean, if they consider me glaring at them really hard painful. Although I felt so bad...did anyone else see the bandage on Kevin’s hand? He actually burned himself! Sad, horny, delusional boy. I would call their bluff. FP is the sheriff and wouldn’t do anything about that cover-up because he was a PART of it hahaha. What’s the town gonna do? They’ve run out of law enforcement candidates.

Ok the Gargoyle/Serpents rivalry makes sense-ish. I’m confused why they chose to try to murder him during the school day but hey--I dig their motivational energy to complete quests. Are they not suspended? Weatherbee? *cough* He let Toni’s outfit slide too which was quite the surprise.

Deputy gang members. Sure. Give Betty a taser and set her loose on this town por favor. I loved Jughead had them vote and the whole Sweet Pea “Do we get to carry g*ns?” reaction.

Uuuuuuugh I wanna blow a raspberry at everyone in Veronica’s speakeasy, including the new “security.” Why were the Serpents let go? Why is everyone so rambunctious? Let a teen run her speakeasy-turned-casino in peace!

Ricky and his scheme-y schemes made me uncomfortable. I think we can all agree the second Archie mentioned his dad and the door opened that our hearts squeezed in pain. Every second we get of Fred Andrews and that we had of Luke Perry is a blessing.

There are so few places for adults to hang in Riverdale. Also they keep having Peaches and Cream check Gladys out. Is that intentional? Or am I misreading her love of a challenge? Battle of the fur-clad entrepreneurs in Riverdale, it seems. Can anyone tell me what is actually happening with the Wyrm? Is it still a drug factory? Because a bar would make serious money in town.

Betty at the candle thinking about the catharsis of self-inflicted pain made me so sad.

I’m obsessed with what’s on her mirror. One photo is of her and Archie but I can’t make out the others.

Oh, but she set the curtains on fire. Maybe? Hope that’s some kind of therapy, but I doubt it.

Can’t wait for Bughead response to the Cooper’s anonymous buyer and the three musketeers reunited! And more Fred. Break my heart, I really want to see more Fred.

US Hiphopheads who are open-minded to UK stuff. My full list of links to welcome you. [OC]

EDIT2: THANKS FOR THE LOVE AND INTEREST...

I have compiled this list with sub-sections for any Americans that are curious about the UK rap, grime and trap scenes but the only thing they know about it so far is “the ting goes brrrrrrrraaaaaaap”

I have tried to break it down in to sections so if you like a particular type of rap in the US e.g “story telling,” you may find some songs in here to suit you.

For the UK people, this is not necessarily THE ABSOLUTE BEST list of UK songs or ones that “we get.” I have tried to make this a good mixture of credible English songs but still have some kind of an appeal for an American listener. No newbie American is going to get our slangs or understand the type of characters we have after listening to a few songs. I also want to share as many songs with an official video as possible.

Lastly, my preferred links for all of these will be Youtube but if no Youtube link is available, I will post an Apple Music link. Feel free to manually spotify.

If you like the sound of a certain style or certain artist, message me and I will try and find you similar stuff or albums of work.

Edit: thank you for the feedback. I have added some requests that I have missed.

.........

More lyrical content-driven.

Akala - Fire in the Booth 1. From 2011, good content and fast flow. Gets political but not in a preachy self-righteous way: Youtube

Cadet - Stereotype. A deeper song largely focussing on how Cadet recognises he is a hypocrite and hasn’t appreciated his mum like he should have: Youtube

Krept - Last Night in Lagos. Simple beat. Great wordplay. Pay attention to the bit where he says “girls moving backwards” and let me know if you get what he has said with the words: Youtube

Wretch 32 and Avelino - Fire in the Booth. Another Fire in the Booth. Avelino has smooth delivery. Wretch has nice lyrics: Youtube

Dave - Panic Attack. Dave would have been 18 when he wrote this. He is really mature for his age and is definitely the most promising new guy in our scene. Youtube

Story-tellers

Cadet - Letter to Krept. Cadet writes his cousin, Krept a letter. Youtube

EDIT2: THANKS FOR THE LOVE AND INTEREST...I have compiled this list with sub-sections for any Americans that are curious about the UK rap, grime and trap scenes but the only thing they know about it so far is “the ting goes brrrrrrrraaaaaaap”I have tried to break it down in to sections so if you like a particular type of rap in the US e.g “story telling,” you may find some songs in here to suit you.For the UK people, this is not necessarily THE ABSOLUTE BEST list of UK songs or ones that “we get.” I have tried to make this a good mixture of credible English songs but still have some kind of an appeal for an American listener. No newbie American is going to get our slangs or understand the type of characters we have after listening to a few songs. I also want to share as many songs with an official video as possible.Lastly, my preferred links for all of these will be Youtube but if no Youtube link is available, I will post an Apple Music link. Feel free to manually spotify.If you like the sound of a certain style or certain artist, message me and I will try and find you similar stuff or albums of work.Edit: thank you for the feedback. I have added some requests that I have missed..........More lyrical content-driven.Akala - Fire in the Booth 1. From 2011, good content and fast flow. Gets political but not in a preachy self-righteous way: YoutubeCadet - Stereotype. A deeper song largely focussing on how Cadet recognises he is a hypocrite and hasn’t appreciated his mum like he should have: YoutubeKrept - Last Night in Lagos. Simple beat. Great wordplay. Pay attention to the bit where he says “girls moving backwards” and let me know if you get what he has said with the words: YoutubeWretch 32 and Avelino - Fire in the Booth. Another Fire in the Booth. Avelino has smooth delivery. Wretch has nice lyrics: YoutubeDave - Panic Attack. Dave would have been 18 when he wrote this. He is really mature for his age and is definitely the most promising new guy in our scene. YoutubeStory-tellersCadet - Letter to Krept. Cadet writes his cousin, Krept a letter. YoutubeKrept - Letter to Cadet. The reply. YoutubeKrept and Konan - My Story. The pair recall a story of struggle from before they were famous. YoutubeDave - My 19th Birthday.
