putting them in the silly machine

we decided to watch all story cutscenes from the new resident evil village videogame on a whim, since it’s not really our cup of tea gameplay-wise but seems to be this massive zeitgeist moment that made us morbidly curious. And I know how much everyone cares about my thoughts on things I know very little about, so. let’s get into it huh gamers. and yeah spoilers?

for context, I’ve only played resident evil 4 and a small portion of 5. I also read the wikipedia entry for 7’s plot recently. all this to say I was only vaguely aware of how tonally wacky the series was going in

I also completely gave up following the plot of the mutagens’ soap opera, so that paid off in spades here as you might imagine

anyway so that baby in the intro. that baby’s head is just massive. humongous toddlerdome. when ethan finds the baby’s head in a jar later on. there is no way that head would fit into that jar. bad game design. no not even game design. basic stuff. one hundred years in prison for jar modeler

if I see a single functional hetero marriage in video games I will cry tears of joy. I understand their misery is kind of The Point irt them badly working through the hillbilly romp trauma but like. sheesh. at least set that up as an emotional story goal the plot will help resolve. but nope they start off miserable and it goes nowhere

I know I know the mia thing has a huge wrinkle in it but like. not really in terms of dramatic function?? set up a happy end to the re7 nightmare (miranda can keep up appearances for all she cares) and then take that all away from angry griffin mcelroy for manpain. it will still absolutely work to set up the dramatic forward momentum. why throw in this cliche Hollywood Tension in their marriage if you’re not going to address it oh maybe because it’s normalized as automatically interesting because nuclear families are a self-propagating pit of a very narrow chance at emotional happiness relying on social stigma to preserve their empty function oops my baggage slipped in yikes abort mission

I called him griffin mcelroy because I saw his face on twitter and. yeah. I will continue to do this occasionally. my house my rules

... fuck the reason I’m hung up on this is specifically because the rest of the game is so tonally dexterous (which is a shining point to me! more on that later!), and yet they felt weirdly compelled to create the aesthetic trapping of a family-at-odds trope without following it through too well. a sign of both the good and the bad stuff to come

but listen the real reason why I wanted to talk about any of this is to nitpick the fascinating backwards-engineered nucleus of the entire thing; in that this game essentially creates a melting pot of just SO many disparate horror tropes and then makes a no-holds-barred unhinged effort at weaving thick lore to piece them all together. it is truly a sight to behold. like straight up you got your backwoods fright night situation, your gothic castle vampires, your rural-industrial werewolves, and don’t forget your bloated swamp monsters over there, with then a hard left turn into robotic body horror, and the entire ass subgenre of Creepy Doll writ large, and the bloodborne tentacle monsters, and a hellboy angel bossfight, which rides on the coattails of a mech-on-mech pacific rim bonanza, and just jesus henry christ slow down

almost all of these are textural hijack jobs that don’t really get into the metaphor plain of any of those settings but the game sort-of makes an argument that the texture IS the point and revels in it. It is kind of admirable almost. The same reason why the intro felt boxed in and unmotivated is also why the rest of the game just blasts off of its hinges to the point of complete and self-indulgent tonal abandon. I kinda loved that about it. lady dimitrescu made sure to hold her hat down as she bent forward in mahogany doorways and then suddenly she’s a giant gore dragon and you settle in your temp role as dark souls man with Gun to take her ass down. Excellent??

this rhino rampage impulse to gobble up every horror aesthetic known to man comes to head when the game wrestles with its FPS trappings in what is the most hilarious solution in creating visceral player damage moments. Since most cinematics and the entire game is in first person, that leaves precious little real estate for the devs to work with if they really want to sell griffin’s physical crucible. To wit. This dude’s forearms. Specifically just the forearms. They are MASSACRED throughout the story. The poor man lives out the silent hill dimension of a hand model. by the end cutscene he looks like a neatly dressed desk clerk who had decided to stick both his grabbers into garbage disposal grinders just a few hours prior. like in addition to everything else it manages to rope in that tinge of slapstick violence into its general grievous genre collection except this time it IS for a lack of trying! truly incredible

but wait his miracle clawbacks from everything his poor paws go through are retroactively explained away, yes, but far too vaguely and far too late to console me as I sat and watched everyone’s favorite baby brother reattach an entirely severed hand to his wrist stump by just. placing it on there. and giving it a lil twist ‘n pop terminator-style. and then willing his fingers back into motion right in front of my bulging eyes. this game just does not care. it does not give a shit. and boy howdy will it work to make that into one of its strongest suits

cause generally speaking resident evil was THE premiere vanilla zombie content destinaysh for like a decade, right? and as the rest of the world and mainstream media started encroaching and bloodying its blue ocean it went and just exploded in every single conceivable horror trope direction like a smilodon on catnip. truly, genuinely fascinating franchise moves

yeah the big vampire milf is hot. other news; grass... green. although I do love the implication that her closet is just identical white dresses on a rack. cartoon network-level queen shit

apropos of nothing I’ve said there’s also this hobo dante-devimaycry-magneto man, and I can’t believe this sentence makes sense. anyway he made that “boulder-punching asshole” joke referring to chris redfield and it was probably the only easter egg that really landed for me and boy did it land hard. I have not seen him punch the boulder in re5, mind. I had only heard about how funny it is from friends. and here this dude was, probably in the same exact mindset as me, trying to grapple with that insane mental image. with you on that ian mckellen, loud and clear

I advocate vehemently against the shallow pursuit of hyper photorealism in art direction but I gotta admit it works really in favor of immersive horror like this. the european village shacks especially gave me super unchill flashbacks to my rural countryside retreat in western georgia. I could smell the linoleum dude. not cool

faces are weird in this game. can’t place it. nice textures, good animation, but the modeling template is... uuh strange? and the hair. it has that clustered-flat-clumpy look that harkens to something very specific and unpleasant but I just don’t know what. sue me

griffin’s mental aptitude to take all this shit in stride and end every seemingly traumatizing bossfight involving some fucking eldritch being yet unseen through mortal eyes by essentially throwing out an MCU quip is just. What the fuck dude? I mean that was funny how you casually yelled the f-word at a god damn werewolf that you considered a fairy tale an hour ago but are you like, all right?? it was swinging a sledgehammer the size of a bus at you, ethan

oh oh the vampires are afraid of cold and your last name is winters. I get it haha

Pro Gamer Nitpick: boss fights seemed a bit unnecessarily long?? idk why the youtuber we picked decided the ENTIRE propeller man fight counted towards the vital story scenes he was stitching together, but man mr big daddy lite there really had some get up and go huh??

why are they saying dimitrescu.. like that. is it really how you say that word or is the english language relapsing into its fetish for ending every single word with a consonant at all costs

I’m not saying it’s a dramatic miss of a twist in context of all that’s going on, but the “you died in the last game actually and have been DC’s clayface ever since” revelation is low-key. it’s. it’s just funny to me, I dont know what to say. century-old god-witch fails her evil plan after she mistakenly removes heart from what was definitely NOT just some white guy with eight fingers after all

chris realizing he’s about to become the player character and immediately swapping out his tsundere trenchcoat for the muscletight sex haver sweater

the little bluetooth speaker-sized pipe bomb he taped to his knife was nuclear?? really??? I must have missed something because that is just too good. I buy it though I totally buy it. chris just got them fun-sized nukes in his car trunk for, you guessed it, Situations

anyway this is all for now just wanted to briefly touch on how unexpectedly funny and tonally irreverent this seemingly serious game turned out to be. did not articulate any cathartic story beats whatsoever but my god it had fun connecting those plot points. he just fucking put his severed hand back on his stump and it Just Worked todd howard get in here

Twisted Wonderland: Headcanons for Dorm Haunted Houses Pt.3 - Heartsyabul

MASTERLIST

Part 2

(Play at 0.75 speed for full effect)

THE ATTRACTION:

Heartsyabul’s theme is a creepy Wonderland Garden. 

Guests and students alike first entered an abandoned greenhouse, filled with decaying flowers, bloodied pitchforks and traces of shattered pocket watches and pastries can be seen. The guests are led deeper into the greenhouse, where the plants become creepier: living flowers with faces on them that moans and groans, dreadful man-eating plants, snapping venus flytraps that almost bites at unsuspecting guests and students, doll’s eyes plants, dracula orchids, ghost plants, poisonous fungus that exhumes putrid pollens and corrosive giant pitcher plants. 

Guests are unnerved by “victims” of the plants itself: one “victim” is dying when half of their bodies are melted off by the acids, another one begged for their lives at the jaws of venus flytraps… and some had become hybrid fungus zombies that jumped out and scare people along the way. 

After escaping the treacherous greenhouse, the guests have arrived at the-

Rose maze. Twisted rose maze. Also, it’s foggy as well. Remember that time when Riddle Overblot and the rose maze garden just turn dark, spooky and roses are sort of dead? Well then- imagine that atmosphere elevated UP TO ELEVEN. 

I’m talking about thorny vines, dead roses dipped in red-blood paint, endless hedges filled with it. Oh, and there are random heads everywhere - WHY ARE THERE RANDOM HEADS EVERYWHERE???

If it’s not on the tea party table, then it’s mounted on a pike. It looked realistic too, so guests and students are really unnerved when they enter. 

The centerpiece of their garden labyrinth is a floating garden that served as the execution site, where the “Red Queen” gleefully declared everyone unfortunate to come across him as permanently EXECUTED. It was surrounded by a moat, a top of crimson waters filled with heads and headless bodies.

It’s like the Disney version of American McGee’s Alice. 

Trey is, of course, the host. He dressed like a Mad Hatter, all dapper with a playing card motif and BLOODIED. 

He’s waiting for guests and students alike at the first part of the maze - a botanical tea party filled with card attendants. 

He encouraged the students to eat and drink his specially made treats. Strawberry tarts so red like blood, suspiciously red tea, an assortment of petit fours and macarons between blood-stained teapots…

Why do they have boxed presents at the tea party? Hey, look, we can actually pick it up and see what’s underneath it! Oh, what a cute teapot! Oooh! A dormouse plush! Oooh! This one’s a-

“BOO!” A Cater head cackled like a maniac when a present is lifted, eliciting screams everywhere from students and guests alike. 

Cater uses his clones to do the job of terrifying the guests and students alike. 

He carefully arranged his clones to position themselves where their bodies are hidden, either using optical illusion, under the bush or even sometimes using invisibility magic, so that only his “heads” are moving. 

Cater is having a blast at taking horrified pictures of guests and students alike. People considered it an honor to enter Cater’s official “Scream-of-Fame” page on his MagiGram. His favorites so far are either Grimm or Ace - they have the best reactions out of all the students entering the haunted house. 

Riddle’s costume is elegantly terrifying. It seems that his Overblot form gives him ideas because his costume as the “Red Queen '' is regal, with spider-like motifs, tattered fabrics, and plenty of playing card references. His crown is also drenched with red paint, his makeup is adorned with black, red, and gold paints and black tears falling from it. According to the lore that the dorm had set for their haunted house, the “Red Queen” shed tears of sorrow after his subjects failed to show up, vowing to take revenge on them all.  

Oh, and yes, he does have a shiny, large, ax that he was ready to “hack” people to pieces with. 

NO ONE ESCAPES FROM RIDDLE. Either they’re too scared to run or they’re begging for their prefect to come to his senses and spare them. Riddle punished the students for trying to break his character.

THE MISSION: 

The host grimly told the students that the “Red Queen” is on a rampage because EVERYONE IS LATE FOR THE UNBIRTHDAY TEA PARTY (this opened up the traumatic wounds in Ace’s memory), and he’s currently in the maze looking for someone to behead. Their first mission is to find a key inside one of the teapots or presents by lifting them one by one. After the key is found, they need to find a way out of the maze to retrieve the charm on the dead center of the execution/trial ground. 

Oh, and one more thing: SCREAMING WILL ONLY SUMMON THE RED QUEEN’S CARD EXECUTIONERS OR THE RED QUEEN HIMSELF TO YOUR LOCATION. They’re dead serious. 

Okay, now the fun starts. 

It seems that while the jumpscares remained the same, the second and third years on Heartsyabul’s haunted house staff took this as a chance to TORMENT the first years. 

They touched, breathed, and even chased them all around the garden house. Already several people are running away back to the exit or pissing themselves. 

Because MC is an easy target for them, one of the fungus zombies takes the opportunity to skim his hands across MC’s waist, even lower-

Jack kicked the poor guy in the balls, Deuce makes a mental note to report to Riddle for inappropriate misconduct. 

During their excursion on the maze, Deuce had commented how realistic looking these heads are.

Someone suspiciously approached a realistic-looking head… when it suddenly blinks. Cater gave a mouthful of a bloodied grin at Ace.

“Found… A BODY!”

Cue skyward scream. 

As expected, Riddle appeared out of nowhere, sporting a bloody grin, horrifying every student in the vicinity. “FULFILL YOUR PROMISE, TRAPPOLA! SPADE!” He cackled as he chased after the poor group, swinging his ax like a madman, with Ace frantically promising to Riddle that yes, he will behave and follow all the rules for the next two weeks of his life. 

As promised, Ace and Deuce screamed the most, thus adding more scream points. 

Of course, there was a parade of endless living “heads” on every hedge, either a clone of Cater or student actors, laughing and scaring every student and guests that came nearby. Be it on the pike, disguised as a flower, or even jumping out from behind the rose bush walls. 

Ace had to jump onto Deuce like Scooby Doo and Shaggy - poor Deuce is carrying the shivering Ace all around the maze. 

On top of that, the monsters and the “living heads” had continued to draw shrieks from the students and guests at inopportune times, that it also “summoned” Riddle or the actors dressed as Card Executioners straight to them. 

Epel almost smashes a Cater head with a giant teapot nearby in surprise when he lifts one the boxed presents. It took nearly the effort of MC, Deuce, Ace, and Jack to stop the farm boy from committing homicide. 

It’s a good thing too because this Cater head holds the key in his teeth. 

MC tried to take it, but their hands got licked by the Carter head (almost sensually too)  that they dropped the key back to its maw. 

Deuce got his fingers bitten by the Cater head. MC’s group simultaneously closed Deuce’s mouth to keep him from screaming and drawing Riddle’s attention. 

“Now, now, Prefect Riddle must say that either one of you have to scream-” Cater chided playfully.

“CAN YOU NOT?!”

Jack finally got the key after forcefully prying it from Cater’s mouth. 

MC found poor Grimm hiding behind a card soldier prop. “Still thinking of going through this alone?” Nope, Grimm had enough of being “a lonely brave magician”. HE’LL GO WITH MC’S GROUP, WHEREVER THEY GO. Thus, one more party had been added. 

Ah, yes, and to get the charm, they have to get across a red-blood moat towards the floating garden full of heads and “dead” bodies. On which “headless zombies” could spring out unannounced to drag you underwater. Good times. 

Once they finally reached the center of the floating garden, they saw the charm locked inside a locked heart-shaped box. All that they need to do is use the key to get the first charm.

Do you think this is over? Riddle suddenly appears out of nowhere, carrying a bloodied ax and swung it at the unsuspecting MC who dodged it just in time, screaming “OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!” in bloody murder. 

Grimm swore he really DOES nearly lose his head (and half of his body. And his soul.). 

“PREFECT RIDDLE, PLEASE BE REASONABLE!” Deuce begged for his life(?) as Riddle continually hacked away at the group. 

MC’s group ran all the way to the exit and closed the gate just as Riddle’s insane laughter echoed behind them. Even though it was acting, the panting group noted that this version of Riddle is just as traumatizing as the one as when he was Overblotted. In their ten-minute break, Ace and Deuce could not stop shuddering. 

Now that MC’s group has got the first charm, the majority of students that took on this challenge plotted ways to forcefully reclaimed it...

Having finally recuperated from Heartsyabul’s haunted dorm ordeal, they slowly marched into their next destination… Savannaclaw.

TO BE CONTINUED

BONUS:

As per Azul’s request, all dorms are also tasked to sell their own haunted house merchandise (for Crowley’s charity purposes!). It’s selling like hotcakes - although not as fast-selling as Octanivelle’s. 

Aside from T-Shirts, Stickers, and keychains, their fast-selling items are Trey’s rose-shaped sugar cookies and cupcakes.

Part 4

Left Behind In The Halloween Parade: Late Review of Bob’s Burgers And The Simpsons.

The First Sunday of November, and the Last Sunday of the Trump and Biden election, found Hulu finally uploading the Bob’s Burgers and Simpsons Halloween episodes. So in the spirit of taking your sweet ass time that is exactly what I did with this review. The Bob’s Burgers Halloween episode is probably the weakest of the series, a series that is practically a Hallmark card company in terms of the amount of holiday-inspired content they have churned out. Episode “Heartbreak Hotel-oween” isn’t a particularly offensive in any way it just fails to live up to Halloween episodes such as my personal favorites Season 8 “The Wolf of Wharf Street,” which remains one of the most visually stunning episodes of the series,  and  Season 4, the series’ second Halloween episode,“Fort Night,” which has incredibly gruesome stakes and the most satisfying entry in the Louise versus Millie feud. 

“Heartbreak Hotel-oween” is still ultimately pretty good and though it took a second viewing to fully appreciate it I do like watching the Belcher children deftly sail through the world of adults. The tantalizing plot thread of a Bob’s Burgers Delivery service is dangled and I would like to see more Delivery based plots. Getting these characters into different areas and expanding upon the ambitious Jersey shore town. Having the kids deliver a burger to an older woman using the burger as a lure for her seance is flattened against a brown and forgettable after thought of a hotel. Everything with the Belcher kids is good and interesting and with the help of Andy Daly voicing the Hotel Manager; Lindsey Stoddart doing Quarantine duty and voicing multiple characters including the old woman Dolores conducting the seance, and Loren Bouchard Home Movies collaborator Melissa Robbins stops by as a bystander character as well. 

The episode starts getting in its own way with the adults blood bank centric B-plot. The entire plot is given in a single exchange with Teddie being excited about donating blood and everyman Bob with his everyman  O-negative blood finds giving blood nauseating and gross. That’s it. That’s the whole plot and besides the blood banker workers being dressed up as vampires there are no other comedic games being played and it is total unmemorable fluff, which has been a common issue for the ongoing series. One thing this episode does right is at least get Bob, Linda and Teddie out of the restaurant and into a new environment. A lot of the verbal exchanges between Bob, Linda and Teddie feel a lot more stilted due to Covid recordings and the lack of non-scripted banter is sorely missed. I have noticed this season having more John H. Benjamin monologue Bob by himself moments, which only work when Bob’s imagination is in full flight. Where was the talking bag of Bob’s blood? Hell I wouldn’t even had objected to hearing a dang song sung by the vampires to help soothe Bob into giving blood or something beyond: Bob doesn’t like giving blood because it makes him woozy, he gives blood and get’s woozy. 

Overall this is a perfectly serviceable episode: three Ghost-baiting cheeseburgers out of five.

Intermission. 

Fox is certainly using the Loren Bouchard & Molyneux sisters brand like a blood bag with the recent announcement of the new series The Great North. Wendy Molyneux is a frequent writer, (executive) story editor since Bob’s Burgers inception. She is the writer of  “The Wolf of Wharf Street” and the episode of Bob’s Burgers I have watched the most - “There's No Business Like Mr. Business Business,” because I am a cat fanatic, John Oliver fan, and have been the pet companion of a standard poodle exactly like Snoodle named Faust that I love dearly. Basically, I am excited for this show. Molyneux is also a deeply connected collaborator with Megan Mullally writing on all 74 episodes of Mullally’s forgotten by the ages The Megan Mullally Show. A show according to Wikipedia’s citation of Fox News, “viewers were disappointed to find out that Megan is not anything like Karen in real life,” and if there is any white woman out there that is an anti-Karen it is Mullally. Mullally is not the focus of the show but her more visible and commercially accessible husband Nick Offerman is finally being anointed into the annals of TV Dads. With his three sons voiced by Paul Rust, Will Forte and National Treasure Aparna Nancherla and sole daughter voiced by Bob’s Burgers alum Jenny Slate, who recently honorably stepped down from a lucrative tv series Big Mouth deal like the real champ that she is.  Mullally will show up as Jenny Slate’s character’s boss andThe cast is undeniable the backdrop of Alaska has a lot of promise for elaborate or interesting set pieces. I am ready for this show! Will this be Bob’s Burgers Futurama? That’s probably a vicious hex based on how Futurama was infamously jerked around by Fox. FOX has already given the show a promising two-season deal, which is already a lot better than what Netflix did for Tuca and Bertie. Faint nowhere discussions of the Bob’s Burgers movie were also mentioned in an interview with Bouchard who has a cantankerous “theater release only” policy, which bums out a little, but I would much prefer they take as long as possible. The Bob’s Burgers movie cannot end up carrying out the Simpson movie curse.

/////

I am no Simsons scholar. I could not give you an active ranking of favorite Tree House of Horror episodes. I could tell you that I really like Bart as an Edgar Allen Poe’s Raven. You don’t need to be Simpsons scholar to safely state that “Treehouse of Horror XXXI” should be ashamed to show its “funny face.” For starters the entire appeal of the anthology style of storytelling has been completely deflated by having two of the previous episodes in this season being gimmicky non-standard episodes. The only positive thing I can say about this episode is that it is an important teaching tool for what the most broken and shittiest, laziest satire imaginable would look like and the 2020 Election cold opening is actually pretty solid. All of the good will earned by the strong opening is completely squandered starting with an inexplicably CGI Toys Story sketch. I am assuming the animation department went with CGI because the source material is CGI. The CGI is really bad and makes me really miss the 3D models of Simpsons Hit And Run and perfectly charming The Simpsons Game. Instead this sketch’s particular animation looks like the animators were most inspired not by Pixar’s clean and craftsmen like CGI models but were going for more of a Fanboy & Chum Chum look. A Toy’s Story parody in this day and age is asinine in its laziness, but it’s still an evergreen territory. A good Toy’s Story parody is possible, but simply having Bart play out the role of Toy Story’s Sid except he gets lobotomized by his own toys. I did appreciate the writer’s making the explicit moral of the story to not buy toys, which for a Disney product like the Simpsons is pretty rich. 

Behold! The last recorded instance of a quality Toys Story satire from China, IL

The next two parodies go down slightly better simply because they aren’t sporting that eye bleeding animation but paying homage to Enter The Spider-verse and Russian Doll/Happy Death Day 2U in 2020 feels just as dated as Toy Story. What kind of fool is still writing about Russian Doll in 2020? The Enter the Homer-verse sketch is at least ambitious and showcases how masturbatory  the show has come whenever it is showcasing Dan Castellaneta’s various vocal talents. I get it dude, you like having dump trucks of money given to you for barely making an effort and doing Hannah Barbara impersonations that sound more like a bad Woody Allen. Regardless, this is still the one sketch that makes the most attempt to have comedic games with its multiple iterations of Homer and even throwing out some alternative universe Burns and Smithers for good measure. The final third Russian Doll sketch that let’s you know that this sketch is more Russian Doll than Happy Death Day by using the same exact Harry Nilsson “Gotta Get Up”  piano riff. This sketch had potential but once again the show writers and creatives seem to only indulge the worst possible instincts and cast Lisa as the lead of the sketch. So that means we get to watch this 8 soon-to-be 9 year old girl and fellow child Nelson get murdered in a variety of banal and brutal ways, and it’s just not fun or pleasant to watch. The obvious choice is an unexpected Springfield resident and if it has to be a Simpson having Marge or one of her sisters be the Nadia surrogate makes far more logical sense and Marge’s birthday would carry more emotional weight. 

Reminder to myself to check out this lost late series entry where Natasha Lyonne is the voice of Krusty’s daughter. 

I completely understand why The AV Club canceled their coverage of The Simpsons. The whole series has a very masochistic and sadistic pull and tug between creatives and fans. The sweet and simple souls of Den of Geek are still reviewing the Simpsons and offer a far more favorable review: https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/the-simpsons-season-32-episode-4-review-treehouse-of-horror-xxxi/.  Google results also yield one another publication reviewing this current season published on medium that has been taken by for violating medium rules. Will the Simpsons be coming for me next? 

Skip this episode! Judging by the synopsis of the season’s next ep finding the Simpsons, once again, finding themselves somewhere other than Springfield is looking to be another skippable entry. I want to be proven wrong! The latter day Simpsons seasons usually have a memorable or decent episode here or there. So far the only thing remarkable about this season is how much it wants to try to be different and think outside of the Springfield box but in the process give the season an overwhelming sense of hollowness. I shall forge ahead with my coverage, because I am either a masochist or a sadist depending on the weather.

43. hoodie, leather jacket, cardigan, jean jacket or bomber jacket?

1. hoodies are good for when you dont have a bra on and they come with one BIG pocket and you dont need to worry about a shirt

2. Leather jackets are for cool kidz and carry a nice vibe and still thick enough to keep you warm , but you can't really get them wet I think so you can't wash em , but they can come with cool designs on the back but their better fitted on perfectly on a person and if you grow they just look odd on you then you have to buy another and that's not fun

3.Bomber jacket , it's a whole style but one I try to pull of but just cant do it well

4.Cardigans kinda umm not a fan but good if your wearing a dress that's shows your shoulders and you are insecure about that being shown. Remember when somewhere in the 2000s they told us that cardigans where so easy to put on and throw more into your outfit so people bought quit a few. I do

My Version of Girl Meets World

. 

This what I imagine for the Girls of Girl Meets World going. I even have personalities for them and more fleshed back out back grounds for these characters. For the Girl Characters, I have Riley Matthews, Melinda Hunter, Maya Hart, and Isadoara Smackle. The male characters are Jet Hunter, Farkle Minkus, Lucas Friar and Isaiah Babineaux. I am doing it this way for a few reasons, one Shawnangela gets together in my version and Angela got pregnant with Shawn’s twins before she left for Europe, two Riley and Smackle’s friendship means so much to me and I think it is absolutely beautiful and underrated and three this is just a concept of that really appealed to me and I love it! So without further a do here are are the characters backgrounds interests and well hobbies. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think and please be respectful.

Girls of Girl Meets World

Riley Matthews: The oldest child to Cory and Topanga and older brother to Auggie Matthews she is to quote Shawn “Cory with Topanga’s hair”. She is really sweet and bubbly, very smart and loves her friends dearly. She suffers from self esteem issues and is very dramatic. She is a straight A student and her favorite subject is science. She enjoys school, hanging out with friends and loves writing and photography. After school activities for Riley, include environmental club, the school paper and gamer club

Melinda Hunter: Daughter of Shawn and Angela and twin sister to Jet. She is super girly, and she will constantly experiment with her hair. She will wear hair in various fashions much like her mother. She is a sweetheart but also knows how to be assertive and she doesn’t let people push her around which is something Riley struggles with and Melinda and Maya help with that Melinda has her own insecurities as well but hardly shows them. She even knows how to bring out the best in people like her brother Jet who she is very close with. She loves animals, fashion and is very much into journalism and art because she is very creative. Her favorite animal in particular are pigs and she even plans to get a pet pig and name him Little Jet much like her father who once had a Pet Pig and named him Little Cory. Her after school activities involve, environmental club, fashion club and photography. She is well organized and plans to run for school president. 

Maya Hart: Daughter to Katy Hart. Maya is very much a rebel and is a bit of slacker and prankster. She is kind, caring and she loves to be playfully tease her friends especially Lucas with the way she goes “Ha Hur”. She is very rebellious but that gets better over time as she matures. She is very close with Riley because those two have known each other since they were five years old. Maya will go above and beyond to protect her friends. She loves music and art. She is a picture kind of gal. Her after school activities involve the Art Club, Fashion Club and Music club. She plays guitar and piano and she plans to sign up for the talent show.

Isadora Smackle: Like Farkle her family is quite wealthy. She has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)/Aspergers. She is very high functioning but she is not so good in social situations however she gets better thanks to Riley’s help. Out of all the friends from the female friend group Smackle is closest with Riley. Smackle loves science, debates and anything to do with physics. Her after school activities involve, science club, she is part of the mathletes and debate team. The three girls help Smackle gain more confidence by helping her with a make over but they don’t turn Smackle into their dress up doll they just help her with her clothing and help let down those pigtails. Smackle even does some after school tutoring and she gets heaps better with emotions and social situations.

Boys of Girl Meets World

Jet Hunter: Son of Shawn and Angela and twin sister to Melinda. Jet is very much like his father, a slacker, a trouble causer and spends and he pretty much lives in detention. He gets decent grades thanks to his sister’s help. He isn’t much into school so he doesn’t do a lot of school activities to do. Up until he moves to New York his twin sister was his only friend but unlike her he is a trouble causer. Like Shawn, Jet is very much a ladies man and has a thing for Maya Hart. Him and Maya get into the most trouble out of the friend group and like Maya he does the pictures. Jet is not into sports like his father the only physical activities he enjoys are skate boarding and swimming. He is very mechanical and knows how to fix cars and stuff. Since he is so skilled in mechanics and welding he joins the robotic team thanks to the encouragement of Melinda and Farkle. 

Farkle Minkus:  He is the son of Stewart Minkus and Jennifer Basset. Farkle is very much a flirt but is not as smooth as Jet or Lucas and he is a male version of Topanga. Farkle like Smackle is very awkward in social situations but is slightly better. He is very wealthy but is very embarrassed of his wealth because he just wants to fit in with the middle class. He is very smart and the class genius like Smackle. His favorite subject is science and he loves physics too. He down right hates sports the extent of his physical activities are clogging/tap dancing. His after school activities involve, science club, debate team, chess club and robotics club tap dancing which is something he has been into since he was 4 years old. 

Isaiah Babineaux: Like Lucas he came from Texas. Zay is a flirt and into feminine and masculine things. He loves football, horse back riding, and baseball. He also loves tap dancing, ballet which actually helps with his hand eye coordination in football. He is a very sensitive soul and very blunt. He is not afraid to express his feelings. This is something he helps Smackle and Farkle with. He is un-apologetically  himself and when he doesn’t like something he isn’t afraid to let people know. Him and Smackle are the most honest and the most blunt out of the friend group.

Lucas Friar: Grandson of Papi Joe and from Texas like Zay. Lucas came to New York because he got expelled from his old school and he got into fights a lot. Him going New York was a way for him to start fresh. His interests are sports and he loves animals like Melinda but not to the same extent she does. He still plans to be a vet. He is a little vain about his looks, super competive when it comes to sports very much like Buffy and has a temper so much so that his friends have to bring him back to reality and help calm him down. Underneath his competitiveness and his temper he is very insecure because he feels pressure to be perfect. He is very protective of his friends and his very compassionate as well. The reason Lucas is competive is because he wants to impress his grandfather and his father. He has a sensitive side which he learns to let out thanks to being Riley’s friend and being close with his mother. 

Honestly I had a lot of fun writing this out but Lucas was hardest for me to write a personality for because he is very bland. Anyways I hope you enjoyed reading this and please tell me what you think and remember keep your comments respectful. 

∞Okay last one for the night because I am really tired and very ready for bed but I’ve gotta get in my Avengers commentary because I have to start off tomorrow on a clean slate and ready to go. Thus, here we are.

1. In lieu of only post Infinity War MCU canon, Loki’s rhetoric at the very beginning of The Avengers sounds a fucking lot like Maw’s. In the initial scenes when he’s fresh off the Tesseract Express his words and way of speaking sound nothing like his own. Even comparing his speeches at the outset of the movie versus the one he makes in Stuttgart, the tones and focuses of them are very different. (IE the first speech focuses on the “powers at be” versus the Stuttgart speech focusing on Loki’s personal opinions of humanity which are more and more developed throughout the film.) But it struck me that these first scenes are precisely on-cue for someone tortured and brainwashed by, say, The Black Order. 2. Given I literally just watched the first Captain America yesterday, I find Cap’s “old fashioned” comment about the stars and stripes on his uniform to be both sad and interesting. Especially given the context that comparatively Cap hasn’t been “up” for very long, one particular comment made to him by Schmidt literally moments before he went into the ice stands out. Schmidt says that through the Tesseract he glimpsed the future, and that there were no flags. In the America and world Steve wakes up to, compared to the world of the 1940s that claim of Schmidt’s could very suddenly appear to be true, which would be understandably uncomfortable for someone like Steve who is usually determined and quick on his feet but at such a staggering disadvantage because of the gap between his mindset and that of his contemporaries which are more varied than he necessarily knows how to quantify right at the outset. Watching his progress throughout the MCU in light of that is interesting, but that one moment of introspection about the utility of the “stars and stripes” is a uniquely postmodern comment coming from a pre-modern/modern man. 3. Okay so this intrigues me now that we have the Guardians and pretty much the entire universe in play in the MCU, but what “greater worlds,” exactly, was the Tesseract supposed to unveil? True the Tesseract is the space stone and verifiably can open portals to everywhere and anywhere in the universe, but Loki specifically makes the claim that the Tesseract can open up access to “greater worlds,” and I’m honestly still not entirely sure what precise reference this was supposed to be making. Because Thanos barely might have arguably needed the Tesseract to get to the planet the Soul Stone was on, but even so that’s a connection that still somehow feels like a stretch. So my question is, what if they meaning the Black Order or Thanos or possibly even Loki needed the Tesseract to get at something else? Somewhere else? Then again, this particular slip might just be Whedon’s doing and not necessarily be reflective of the culmination of the MCU up to this point so IDK. 4. I’m not going to lie, I’ve found it fascinating from day one that The Avengers very openly plays with godhood, to the point that I’m genuinely not sure if they’re reifying it in the MCU or tinkering with it. I mean obviously in the later movies this theme is less stressed because the tinkering patently takes precedence, but it’s still cool to me that there are both scripted and visual imagery that tie in multicultural interpretations of godhood. Fury mentions the burial rites of the Pharaohs within the first ten minutes of the film, Loki commits a human sacrifice on a Babylonian bull altar straight from Gilgamesh era in Stuttgart, Cap makes a comment about how his singular god does and does not dress after Natasha herself labels Thor and Loki as gods, and Fury unashamedly labels Thor as a god when they release the Tesseract to his custody. And while a bit ham-fisted, the correlation between theism and the bleeding-edge demand to acknowledge the reality of the universe is still pretty neat guys. 5. The old man in Stuttgart because no FUCK. If any of y’all think that my Germanist ass won’t get misty-eyed and choked-up during this scene, you’re wrong. 6. Okay so I’ll premise this by saying that I haven’t cross-checked the official script because frankly... yeah frankly I don’t want to be wrong and I really can’t hear anything but what I believe to be my interpretation of the line even though I know what the other fan alternatives have been. But when Thor and Loki are arguing on the mountaintop, when Loki says that he, “Was and should be ---,” my hearing of it instead of having been “Was and should be king,” is “Was and should be killed.” And while I’ll bow to whatever official record claims otherwise, I like my hearing better so there. (Also... there’s zero hint of Hiddleston’s palate producing a “g” sound in that sentence but I’ll put my inner linguist away and leave it at that.) 7. In light of that scene, though, when Loki and Thor are arguing is one of the first moments when Loki actually sounds like himself after the Stuttgart scene? Prior to that point the only times we see Loki is when he’s marshaling his human troops and getting policed by those lording over him. In all of those initial scenes Loki feels... very un-Loki to me. Not because Loki isn’t a bastard (hint: he is), but because his motivations and justifications are vague and not seemingly personally motivated, which is what Loki is to a fault. Post-Stuttgart, however, and the personal element seems to return for him because of some reason or another. (IE I have theories but you can read your own into it.) 8. Let it never be said that Thor is a dull bulb. Yeah it’s still sort of unclear how Thor got to Earth (though nothing is unclear about why Thor is pissed), but Thor does walk in with more than enough information to be frankly a little surprising. Bless Heimdall and all that, but seriously the fact that Thor knows about the Chitauri but doesn’t know other things casts an interesting focus on what he was told by Odin and Heimdall before going. Most importantly, though, even from conversing with Loki for a few minutes, Thor is attentive enough to pick up on some of what Loki isn’t saying. Such as, just who showed Loki how to use the Tesseract and all the things Loki claims to be motivated by. Equally interestingly, Loki specifically refuses to answer that question. 9. I feel bad for Fury for sleeping in a den of vipers for so long - though I do like the build-up from the first Avengers into the following issues with HYDRA corruption - but in ways more important to the immediate issue in the first Avengers, Fury might be a shady bitch but he is not an idiot. Because while everyone else was having pissing contests and not trusting one another, Fury was not trusting the person that deserved to be trusted the least, which isn’t just good leadership, but is good spycraft. 10. As established later in the MCU, it’s exceedingly clever that even in the first Avengers there are scenes when even without a “wielder” present, the Mind Stone - as-yet unidentified as such in the MCU - can be seen manipulating those in its vicinity such as in the lab where the biggest catfight in the history of the MCU breaks out. I mean. Until CA:CW... 11. Steve Rogers, poor cinnamon roll, unexpectedly served at dinner instead of breakfast, who cracks jokes about technology he really isn’t that bad at as “seeming to run on some kind of electricity.” Bless. Though really that internal console, while doing complicated shit, is definitely not any more or less visually complicated than the interior of a radio relay which Steve definitely dealt with in his day but kudos for the humor bb, A+. 12. Still one of the strongest and most harrowing lines ever said in the MCU in my opinion: “We are NOT soldiers.” Know why? Because they aren’t. Hell, the only ones among them that are soldiers - and some by slim and emergency-driven margins - are Steve, Bucky, Rhodey, and Sam. The rest of them are brilliant, gifted, and tortured civilians trying to do the right thing. And to Tony Stark above all else, that means something. That means that they didn’t get training to deal with this shit. They didn’t choose for this to be their lives, necessarily. And above all, they don’t deserve to die. And even though Tony knows Coulson is a SHIELD agent, Tony still considers him a person before a disposable “soldier.” 13. Mother-fucking Marvel give me an entire series devoted to my Hawk Guy I need him. You have so much to work with and yet you’re so good at squandering him. I hate it. 14. In light of how bad NYC got fucked up, it’s honestly no wonder Jessica Jones has a drinking problem because I would too even without the personal loss, experimentation, and emotional maladjustment. 15. IN WHAT FUCKING POST-9/11 WORLD DO BUSINESS BUILDINGS NOT HAVE VERY STRICT EVACUATION PLANS. SERIOUSLY. I am a little mad that there are morons ogling out of office building windows when frankly that shit wouldn’t fly. Even on fucking 9/11 that shit didn’t fly and if you think NYC is less paranoid because 9/11 was a decade prior to this movie coming out, you’re wrong. Everyone remembers, and city evacuation ordinances will sure as hell never forget either. Come on Marvel. 16. As a point of interest my grandmother - who also went to see The Avengers with me when it was in theaters but not at the midnight showing like my mom - was 84 at the time and still sat through the whole thing with a bucket full of popcorn to herself, and her favorite moment to this day is when the Hulk tosses Loki around like a rag doll. She’s 90 now, and the Hulk is still her favorite character. 17. Mother-Fuckin Nick Fury will cock-block your nuclear strike with a bazooka because he thinks you’re that dumb. Do not test Nick Fury’s willingness to be Extra (TM) . You will lose. 18. Real talk, though, I’m really curious about whether the Chitauri actually are a hive mind race or, is it their technology that runs of a hive mind link? Because the armor at least on the giant toothy space whale monstrosities does not look organic - it looks implanted. The Chitauri foot soldiers also seem to have a unique biologically based interface with their weapons, armor, and technology in general, which begs the question of whether their biometric matrix is just somehow more inclined toward shared-existence technologies, or whether they self-engineered themselves into a corner by relying on said technologies too much. Seriously guys I have questions and why won’t Marvel give me answers. 19. As a final send-off, this is the first time Tony has ever driven an Acura in the MCU and I refuse to believe it’s not because of the Avengers “A” aesthetic. Tony is canonically an Audi man. Fight me on this.

Okay I’m seriously done for now it’s 1 AM and I need to sleep I have 4 more movies to get through tomorrow. I’ll be up and around and at my shit again in the morn.∞

56. Do you talk to your doll? --Guilty.

57. When talking to your doll, how does she address you? -- Lydia addresses me as “Mama” but the others just call me Luna.

58. How do men react to your doll? --Most men have either thought they were beautiful or just didn’t really care…I have one male friend who can’t sleep in the same room with them though. XD

59. What was your favorite childhood doll growing up and why? --I had a rag doll named “Kachina” that I made when I was 11. I loved playing with her and making clothes for her! I even took her to Lebanon with me.

61. If so, what did you sell? --Didn’t sell anything

62. How much do you spend on your doll a month? What is the maximum you would spend? --I don’t keep track of monthly spending really…I don’t think it’s out of hand enough to do that…

63. Have you purchased something you regretted later? --Nope

64. Do you like buying clothing sets for your doll? --Nah, I prefer to make their clothes. Especially since Douban and Ani are such odd sizes it’s hard to find ready-made clothes for them.

66. If you could take your doll anywhere with you in the world, where would that be? --JAPAN!!

Xander and Ani are too young still to be even thinking about such things (I think o x o;;).

72. Will you pierce your doll's ears? --Never!

73. Have you given your doll a manicure? What color? --Yes! Lydia has dark red fingernails, and Phoenix has a rainbow manicure.

74. Did you do the esthetic process on your doll? --Only on Phoenix so far. Xander has also had an elf-ear mod done.

75. If so, are you glad you did? --Yes! I have a special bond with Phoenix because I feel like she’s the most customized out of all my dolls. Xander HAD to be an elf, so no regrets there.

76. If not, why not? --Lydia was already sanded, Douban is tan so I’m afraid to do any sanding on him, and with Touren and Ani I just never got around to it.

80. Do you plan to get more BJDs in the future? --OMG yes…I have 12 more dolls on my wishlist! (yes that means I want to eventually triple my collection)

87. Do you have any colored wigs for you SDs? (green or pink) Which ones? --Lydia’s wig has wine red tips and streaks in it…does that count?

88. What BJD would you like to see in the future?

-- At this point in the hobby, I feel like everything’s been done already, but I’d like to see more steampunk themed or android dolls.

89. If you have more than one BJD, do you favor one over the others? --Lately I’ve been paying lots of attention to Ani because she’s my newest doll and is a unique size…she needs a whole new wardrobe just for her!

90. Is your BJD for display only? --I guess you could call them “display mostly” XD I do pose them for pictures/photostories and I’ll pick them up when I show them to people, but most of the time they just sit around in their chairs.

91. Do you have any brand name clothing for your SDs? --Just a few Dollheart things for my MSDs and one 9NineStyle outfit for Ani.

92. Is there any BJDs you regret not buying? --Eh, not especially

98. Did you buy a digital camera only because you wanted to take pictures of your BJD to show off online? --No, I have DSLR but I use it for other things besides just my dolls.

99. If you passed on, who gets your SD? wife/husband/kids/best friend/no one...it goes with me! Explain why! --I’ll give them to a daughter or granddaughter that I know will love them and take good care of them, but if I end up not having any kids, my dolls are going with me to the grave!

100. Do you think you'll ever tire of your BJD? Why/Why not? --Hehehehe…I’ll probably still be extra-possessive over them even when I’m a 90-year old grandmother!

Jason was standing outside of the Sanctuary, still speaking with Pastor Howard when you returned, dressed now your favorite sundress. Jason smiled at You and you blushed, Pastor Howard cleared his throat, “Why don’t the two of you enter, the service will begin in a few minutes.”

Jason offered me his arm, and You took it and we walked into the Sanctuary, your first thought was that Jason would lead you to one of the back rows, but to your surprise he took the two of you right up to the front and sat down right by your old Sunday School teacher. She smiled and waved to you before she and Jason made small talk. The small praise band started playing a few songs, having everyone quiet down and either sing or clap along. You may have mumbled along, feeling a bit too embarrassed to sing with Jason by your side.

  The songs ended and Pastor Howard stood up to speak,"Brothers! Sisters! It's is a find morning to see you all and your smiling faces. I'd like to speak about a closely guarded topic- Soulmates." Everyone seemed to hone in on him, not wanting to miss him speak on a topic that not a lot of preachers talked on, as Soulmates could match and still be the same sex, resulting in conflict within the church.

"I remember it just like it was yesterday. My family was new to Gotham, I was just a sixteen year old hooligan, my soul mark just appearing a week before. When we came to this church for the first time, the pastor greeted us with his daughter and the first words from her mouth were,"Welcome! We're glad you're here." The words that were scrawled beautifully on my left thigh."

  "To be honest, my mind went blank, I could not think of a single thing to say," everyone laughed at his sheepish tone,"So I prayed right then and there 'Lord, please let the next words out of my mouth be understandable!'"

   Pastor Howard laughed,"Unfortunately for me, they weren't quite the best with, 'Thank you, glad to be here, I am."

Everyone busted up laughing,"Thankfully, she was a big Star Wars fan, but more importantly, my future wife laughed and laughed, but gave me a big hug anyway. We had lunch with our very happy families that evening and the rest is history. Now we have two beautiful kids and three adorable grandkids."

  "I can't tell you why God decided to allow us Soul Mates. But I know that he wanted them to serve a purpose. Wether it's to give us the better half to really give us the best life, or a scientific reason that allows us the have the best kids or live longer. Either would work. It always makes my heart very happy when Soul Mates find each other, because I know that they each have someone who will listen and march through this life with them no matter what. Those of you that have found yours, you know this to be true."

"If you haven't found your soul mate yet, I just want you to know that it's okay. Wether you're sixteen or eighty-eight, your soul mate is just as anxious to meet you, and God won't let his sheep travel alone, for he is with you and is always working for your good."

 Everyone either Amen-ed or clapped and you shifted in your seat, they would be winding down now. You'd get the benediction and be able to run away. It'd been a good forty-five minutes, and You were a bit surprised that Pastor Howard's Sherman was so short. Until he turned to Jason and You with a smile, and dread settled in your stomach.

"Luckily, and I didn't know this until about an hour ago, a young member of our congregation has found her soulmate! If you two would come forward, please?"

Reluctantly, You stood and dragged Jason to the front with Pastor Howard, he motioned to us,"You all know Miss. Y/N L/N, one of our nursery workers who has grown up with us, and her soul mate Mr. Jason Wayne!"

 Everyone either cheered, or clapped and there were a few Woo-Hoos from the Youth section from the kids that you have know since you graduated from the program a few years ago. You blushed and Jason ducked his head in discomfort, but had that famous Wayne fake smile anyway.

"Alright, Alright," Pastor Howard waved them off and everyone quieted," I think we have embarrassed Asha enough, now receive this benediction...."

   You scurried to your seat, but Jason just sauntered over. Right after the benediction, and a few more songs, those around the two of you swarmed you to give their congratulations. You and Jason stood there for what felt like thirty minutes, but soon, everyone who had come up had said their piece and welcomed Jason.

  You pulled a stand of hair away from my face and turned to him,"Whew! That was a ride..."

"Shall we?" Jason asked offering me his arm, which you took.

"Where are we going?"

"My secret."

   You grinned, and found that instead of his bike, Jason had opted to drive a fairly nice car, he opened the door for me and you thanked him, and the two of you were off to lunch. He had chosen a fairly well known local restaurant that made everything from scratch, and it was very hard to get a reservation. As you were taken to our seat and handed menus, I peeked over mine at him,"How'd you do this? It takes weeks for people to get a table..."

  Jason smirked,"Oh, you know, names have power. That and Dad gave the owner money to start up after they'd catered a few business meeting and he like the food so much. After it started he, Ma and I came and had lunch or dinner here everyday for a week, and the press caught him here every time. So it's popularity sky-rocketed. So now, the whole family has at least one table available at all times."

  You smiled,"That's a sweet story."

Jason nodded,"Yeah, those were the good old days."

  "Since you've been here so much, what do you recommend?"

 Jason's smile slid from a some-what fake one to a genuine one and he flattened my menu and started pointing at different food and why he liked it. By the end of his recommendations, we had basically gone through the entire menu. And when the waiter came back with our drinks we were debating about ordering almost everything on it. But I shot the idea down saying,"It's just the two of us, we couldn't possibly eat all of it. I say we just close our eyes and point and leave it to chance."

 Jason smirked,"I like it!"

 So you did, and Jason ended up getting a Mac and cheese grilled cheese and you got a French dip sandwich. You took one bit of the sandwich and looked at Jason with wide eyes,"You weren't kidding! This is delicious!"

  Jason beamed,"I'm glad you like it. Here wanna try mine?"

"Only if you get some of mine too,"and the two of you swapped half of your sandwiches for the other and you took a bite from his and giggled after you swallowed,"Geez, Now I can't pick which is better."

 Jason talked with you over your meal, mainly about what we did, you told him you didn't know what you wanted to do with your life just yet so you were going through the community college program for Gotham and that you'd lived here your whole life. Your dad had been apart of the military and your mom was a teacher at Gotham Academy, which you had attended, but not with any of the Wayne children as they had with graduated way before you or had not been eligible due to age.

    You mentioned that you had been apart of the theatre program, Jason got excited and asked you which shows you had been in,"Not a lot. The teacher didn't like me, so she only used me when she needed me. I did get one lead character my last year though. That was nice. My main focus was the more modern pieces, I struggled a little with Shakespeare and the really old plays like Antigone, but I liked them."

 Jason nodded,"I'm a big literature and Theatre buff if I do say myself."

"Really? That's nice, what's your favorite?"

"MacBeth is my favorite play, but I do like a good book now and again. Like Pride and Prejudice."

   You smiled,"Didn't think of you as a bookworm."

   Jason shrugged,"Ma wanted me to have some passion, it just ended up being that."

 The Owner walked up to us with a check, he was still wearing chef uniform as he still like to work back in the kitchen on occasion. He passed us the check and gave us his best smile,"It's been a pleasure Mister Wayne, however, there are far more people with cameras outside waiting to pounce on you to lovely young people."

 Jason eyed the door and did in fact see a bunch of people loitering, many more than considered to be normal. You looked back at Jason who placed enough money of the tab and left a tip for your waiter,"It's been a pleasure as always Mr. Hark, however my lovely lady and I may have to escape the back way."

  Mr. Hark nodded,"I see. Have a lovely day then!"

 Jason took your hand and motioned with his head to the back and we both raced through the kitchen and barged out of the back. The were pounding footfalls headed your way and Jason scooped you up in his arms and raced around the corner. You squealed in protest but hung into him regardless, and Jason managed to circle around the press and got us back to the car unnoticed. He set me down and opened my door again,"Thank you."

 Jason leaned down and gave me a kiss on the cheek,"No problem, doll."

  You blushed again but then Jason drove you home. He parked the car at the curb and glanced over at you,"Can I call you later?"

  You nodded,"Sure! I'd like that," You leaned over and kissed his cheek before opening the door and climbing out,"Thanks for lunch and the ride!"

  You waved and turned, Jason pressed a hand to his cheek in shock.

Jason arrived back to the manor in a happy mood. Something that is rare for him, but when he walked into the kitchen he was supposed to see his brothers, Tim and Damian, dressed in suits, Tim looked off-put and Damian looked like he wanted to kill Jason, which was actually normal...

 Damian growled,"This is all your fault Todd!"

  Tim shot Jason a sympathetic look,"Dude. Run."

  With that, pounding footsteps of heels were heard and all three boys turned to the door in terror. Mrs. Wayne entered the kitchen, her eyes blazing,"Jason Peter Todd Wayne I have been trying for years to get you to go to church with me. Years!"

Please give me some feedback or some reblogs! I’d love to interact with you guys!

Mini Matchmaker Series Masterlist

______________________________________________________

Children are wonderful. Children are gifts. Children are the future…or whatever. You love kids. But kids are also germ-infested cesspools just waiting to infect unsuspecting souls like you. But that’s what you get for serving others.

Grabbing yet another tissue from your purse, you blew your nose and apologized once again to your cab driver and assured him you hadn’t touched anything. He made a disgusted face, but said nothing. These days, you normally took the train into the city, but to minimize the exposure of germs to strangers, you had taken a cab to and from work today. You had taken the past few days off due to illness, but there were a few things you just had to handle yourself.

After accomplishing the bare minimum and grabbing a few files you could work on at home, you called it a day. Your head was pounding again and the faucet that had become your nose refused to stop dripping. Approaching the house, you used a card to swipe and pay, along with a generous tip, to avoid handing contaminated cash to the poor driver. Using your sleeve, you opened the car door and headed up the steps.

You hadn’t moved into Steve’s place. Not technically. There had been few conversations about it after being together officially for months, and it really just made the most sense. You spent most of your time at his house outside the city anyway. He asked when your lease ended and when you answered that it was in just over a month, he made the suggestions that you shouldn’t renew. He left it up to you, though.

Over time you just started bringing a few of your things each time you came over and now you were mostly moved in. Kind of. Larger furniture that you may end up just getting rid of and other loose ends needed to be tied up, but soon you, Steve, and Justice would officially live under the same roof.

The slower process and making Justice aware of it made things easier. She thought the idea of sleepovers every night was the best thing ever. Steve would probably agree, you thought with a smile and a sniffle. Reaching the front door, you used your key to enter and immediately stepped out of your high heels. Your feet wouldn’t tolerate them a moment longer. Setting down your bags, you followed the sound of voices down the hall toward Justice’s room.

It was playtime, you deduced, as the sounds of action noises and explosions made by Steve became louder as you approached.

Justice let out a giggle, and then sighed. “Daddy…when is mommy gonna be home?”

Your heart leapt in your throat.

“Uh…” Steve stalled a moment. “You mean Y/N?”

“Yeah. Can I call her mommy? She comes to my school like the other mommies and I like it when she’s here all the time,” the little girl reasoned. Her childlike view made sense, you supposed.

After Valentine’s Day, you were at the house more often and attended a lot of Justice’s little school plays and activities. Since Ms. Sharon already knew you and had seen you become a permanent figure in Justice’s life, the teacher asked if you’d volunteer in her preschool class once a month. Humbled and excited, you said yes. Which actually led to your current illness. Too many kids with too many germs. Bless their sweet hearts and unwashed hands.

There was a time in your life when you considered going into teaching, possibly at the elementary age, so it was fun for you to be in the classroom. Life and your career took you in a different direction, but volunteering became an enjoyable outlet.

Steve’s voice broke you from your reverie, “Hmm. Let’s talk about it after dinner, okay?”

It was then that you made your presence known, stepping into the doorway and leaning against the door jamb. “Well, there’s my two favorite people.”

They both turned your way with a smiles on their faces, Justice speaking first. “Yay!! You’re home!”

The curly-haired girl stood, but stayed where she was, then blowing you a kiss, and you returned it. You had explained to her a little about germs and that you didn’t want her sick so blowing kisses was best for now.

“I brought home some tacos, you wanna go wash your hands and help set the table, kiddo?” you asked her.

“Tacos! Yay!!” she rushed past you toward the bathroom. She was enthusiastic about everything and it made you smile.

Steve approached you, less willing to stick to blowing kisses. You craved his touch, too. He wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close, conceding to no kissing right now. An awful sacrifice to make, unfortunately. He pulled away and met your eyes.

“Feeling any better, doll?” he asked in concern.

You huffed out a sighed, which led to a cough. “Not really. I hope some spicy food can clear up my sinuses some and then I really just need sleep.”

“Okay,” he agreed, pressing a kiss to your temple. He helped Justice set the table while you changed and cleaned up a little.

After dinner, Steve insisted on taking care of dishes as you remained at the table and rested. Justice had rushed to the living room to watch a short tv show before bed. It was then that he breeched the subject.

He cleared his throat, “So, uh…Jimmer called you ‘mommy’ today.”

You smiled, “I know. I overheard.”

“What do you…think about it?” he asked, sitting back down beside you.

Grabbing his hand, you gave it a squeeze. “I’m fine with it. It’s really up to you and her. She has a mom and I certainly wouldn’t dream of trying to replacing her. I understand Justice’s confusion, though. How do you feel about it?”

He threaded your fingers with his, “Like I said, I feel like you’re part of the family already and I have no intention of letting you go. She knows you better than she remembers Peggy. I want my daughter to have that female influence and I’m in this for the long haul, so…”

“So?”

“If you’re good with it, I am,” he grinned, brushing a stray hair off your forehead.

You flushed, “Okay then. We’ll let her bring it up again, though. Sound good?”

“Sounds perfect,” he replied, his lips brushing your knuckles before he stood up and resumed dish duty.

Watching Steve putter around the kitchen, putting away leftovers and loading the dishwasher, your heart just felt…content. Ill as you felt, a stupid smile still found its way onto your face.

_______________

The next morning, it was the weekend, thankfully so you awoke without an alarm. And strangely without a 4-year-old tackling you. Checking the clock it was later than you thought, but apparently the spicy food, cold medicine, and sleep had done you good. Your head and nose felt the clearest they had in days and you could actually smell something delicious wafting from the kitchen.

Taking a quick shower and brushing your teeth, you felt almost human again. You dressed in comfortable clothes and descended the stairs. Entering the kitchen you saw Steve at the stovetop pouring pancake batter and simultaneously trying to keep Justice from burning herself. She was insistent on helping, apparently.

“Good morning,” you greeted them, coming to the bearded man’s side.

Steve whirled around, surprised, “Oh no!! I mean, good morning! We were going to bring breakfast to you in bed, but my little assistant here isn’t quite pulling her weight.” He teased his daughter, tickling her sides until she begged for mercy.

“We made pancakes, Y/N! With blueberries!!” she grabbed a plate off the counter with two pancakes on it and walked it over to you. “Happy Birthday!”

A wide smile split your face, accepting the plate of pancakes. “Thank you, sweetie! They look delicious.”

“You’re welcome. I ate my breakfast already, can I watch cartoons?” the spunky girl asked.

Steve just shrugged at you, so you responded, “Sure, honey.”

“Yay!” Justice gripped your legs in a hug, then turning her face up toward you. “Y/N, can I call you mommy?”

Even with the previous discussion, you were a bit stunned. “Um..sure you can, sweetie.”

She buried her face again in your legs, her next words barely audible, “I love you, mommy.”

Heart thoroughly melted, you smiled down at the girl. “I love you, too, princess.”

A head of brown curls then bounced out of the room to watch tv, leaving you in a a bit of shock.

Steve’s arms circled around your waist as you turned to face him. Germs completely forgotten, he pressed a kiss to your lips. Grateful you had taken the time to brush, you exhaled out a minty breath giving his tongue access to your mouth. You deepened the kiss, pulling him flush against you with arms circled around his neck. Finally breaking away, you were both breathless and grinning goofily.

“Being sick sucks,” you admitted, taking a deep breath. “Mostly because I have seriously missed that.”

He chuckled, kissing your lips in agreement. He then pulled away slightly, digging a hand into the pocket of his sweat pants. “I have something for you.”

Seeing a small box in his hand, your heart about stopped, but as he held it up, you breathed a sigh of almost relief. It seemed a little soon for that. This velvet box was rectangular and flat, which made you curious. He must have read your thoughts because he smiled then and shook his head slightly.

“It’s not that kind of velvet box. But to be clear, I do have plans of making it official eventually. I love you, Y/N. And like I said, I have no intention of letting you go. Happy Birthday, my darling.”

He opened the box and inside was a gorgeous white gold necklace with a small star-shaped pendant. Simple and yet stunning, it was just perfect.

“Oh, Steve…I love it. And I love you,” you said, a teary smile upon your face.

Removing the necklace from the box, Steve secured the clasp behind your neck and you felt the pendant rest against the hollow of your throat. Your lips met again, the kisses tender and full of promises spoken and unspoken, until a small  but insistent voice hollered about the “wrong show” being on. With a regrettable smile, Steve left your arms to fix the problem and you stood still for a moment, hand resting on your gorgeous birthday gift.

Smiling as you looked around the messy kitchen and your now-cold pancakes made with love, you were grateful for the house you now called home and the people you loved within it. Thinking of your last birthday, you could never have predicted you’d find yourself here. Life was a mystery. If you found yourself here again in one year…or five… or 20, then you would happy. You had found where you belonged. Happy Birthday indeed.

Week 1.

Happily ever after.

Three most famous words. You may love it or hate it. Your choice. I chose to love it, even I acknowledge that my life isn’t exactly comes out from a fairy tale book (now only if...) and there is a chance that I won’t have a happily ever after ending. 

Anyway! Today, I’m not going to talk about how my life is complete mess. 

It’s wonderful that women have so many opporuntites today but sadly, we are quick to criticize how anti-feminism the fairy tales are. Mind you, Fairy Tales are much worse but do you expect Disney animate the Fairy Tales when it clearly targeted for young children? 

Like many people, I grew up watching Disney movies, dreamt becoming a Princess (I still do), dressing like a Princess and played with dolls. I went Disney World/Land 3 times in my life, first one at 3 years old, then at 10 then finally last summer at age 23. I do not remember too much for my first two visits but last summer, It was most magical time of my life. Even I’m sticky, hot, tired, hangry, thirsty and sore, I felt like a Princess whole time. It was a wonderful feeling in the whole world. 

Fast forward a month later, my professor proclaimed few days into first week of classes by declaring how she hated Disney/Fairy Tales stories because it teaches the girls to be beautiful and dependable on men. I gave my professor a good long stare.

Fine. You can hate Disney as you like. Not everyone will love everything but to hate Disney because it teaches the girls that they are beautiful and depend on men, it’s kinda of ridiculous, considering of the story itself how the Princess started out. 

I’m going to prove you the point of this by doing a character study of my favorite Disney Princesses, in no order of favoritism. 

1. Cinderella. She was basically a slave to her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. Hell, this girl fucking made her own gown so she could go ball. And of course, her fairy godmother appeared and gave her much prettier dress because she fucking deserve it. 

Lesson from this story: If you want something, you work for it. And people are assholes. 

2. Snow White. Her fucking stepmother tried to kill her so of course, she would run away! She has taught me how kindness to people who aren’t like you and be considerate always make a world a little better place. 

Lessons from this story: Always be kind to people who are different from you. People need more love. Do not trust sweet old woman who offers you an piece of apple. And people are assholes. 

3. Ariel. Who isn’t curious about world? Not only that she show courage to rescue a person. 

Lessons from this story: World is awkward place. Exploring is good for your soul. Helping people does make you feel good. And people are assholes. 

4. Belle. I identify a lot with Belle. We’re bookworm, sees good in each person. Gives people another chance to prove themselves. 

Lessons from this story: Books is love and life. Have faith in people. And people are assholes, ESPECIALLY GASTON!!!!!!!

5. Mulan. This Princess. People forget how badass she is. THIS GIRL LED A FUCKING ARMY AND BECAME A HERO.  I can’t emphasis on her enough. Seriously, an underrated Princess. 

Lessons from this story: Read above, you doofus! And people are assholes. 

6. Rapunzel. I love this Princess so much. Her “mother” kidnapped her because she’s selfish and locked up. Of course, I’d be thirsty for adventure, especially you’re locked up in this tower for 18 years and I will not going to pass up the opportunity to get out. 

Lessons from this story: Don’t trust sweet old woman. Being cooped up sucks. Always see good in people behind their face. And people are assholes. 

Honorable mention goes to: 

Elsa for saying that you can't marry a man you just met.  

Lessons from story: Elsa is overrated. She need to let it go. And people are assholes. 

So, my point is. Disney may be frilly and girly but they really teach girls moral lessons. Let us enjoy the sweet and happily ever after ending since it’s an  optimism in the world of negativity. Be honest, reading a happy story does make you feel better every time. Majority of adults who watched/read Disney as children grow up just fine and acknowledge that having a life as a fairy tale book is almost impossible. 

Phew. I think that’s all of my rant. I’m going to head and begin to watch all the Disney movies and hate watch OUAT. 

Cheers for first blog post for my PSY 333 class!

Do you believe in karma? Yeah but not in a super spiritual sense. I just kind of like to believe that those who did shitty things have theirs coming to them. When's the last time you folded the laundry? A few weeks ago when I felt a panic attack coming in, and I folded clothes to distract myself. Do you eat breakfast every morning? No. I’m currently in school, and I only ever have time for it on weekends. All my classes start at 8:30, and the drive to school is crazy long, so there’s nowhere to squeeze in breakfast. Do you wear contacts or glasses? I wear glasses. I have an eternal fear of contacts and basically having anything put on your eyeball. Does your best friend have contacts or glasses? She wears glasses, too.

Do you watch America's Funniest Home Videos? When it used to be on Disney at 11 PM when I was six, sure. These days I don’t watch it at all. Do you like wearing sweaters? Only when it’s November through January. Is your laptop currently charging? No. I have to in a bit, though. Have you ever had a manicure? Nah. Do you air dry your hair or blow dry? Air dry. Blow dry is so much work and my hair’s gonna dry up anyway. Do you wet your tooth brush then put the toothpaste on or the other way? I wet it first, put toothpaste, then wet it again. Have you ever had popcorn with carmel on it? CARMEL. No, I haven’t. I don’t like popcorn in the first place; it tastes like crunchy nothing to me. Do you like to have camp fires in the summer? That sounds terrible. No. Was it cold out today? It hasn’t been, and I highly doubt it will be. Have you ever seen the movie Hairspray? I haven’t, but I remember when that was big when I was...9? 10? Kid me wanted to see it for Zac Efron, but now it’s meh. Do you want some candy right now? Nope. Do you like wearing dresses? Yeeeeeeeesssss yes I sure do. I wish I had all the summer dresses - they’re really comfy and don’t have to hug my legs like skinny jeans do. Are your arms hairy or just normal? They’re normal. They don’t get as bad as my legs, which grows hair back very fast. Would you ever shave your arms? No, it would be overdoing it. Do you tend to agree with people just to fit in? Never, being forced to be quiet when I heavily disagree makes me so restless. Do you hate how some movies have songs every 5 minutes? I don’t notice that, but I don’t mind movie scores. Sometimes they’re all that’s necessary to build the mood it wants to make. Would you rather have lived in the 60s or 70s? 70′s. Do you own one of those Livestrong bracelets? We’ve left the 2000′s, buddy. Are you currently fighting with someone? Nope. How tall are you? 5′2″, not tall at all. Would you rather dance forever or sing? I would rather not answer this question. Are you looking forward to tomorrow? Kinda. I look forward to Mondays now since I don’t have school and it’s like an extended weekend day for me. On a scale of 1-10 how much do you like spaghetti? 14. Will you be seeing the new movie Soul Surfer? Old movie, old survey. Can you wait until summer? Yeah. It had just ended, so I’m actually glad to be back in UP. Plus college isn’t as bad as high school, so school isn’t something to be bitter about nowadays. What age did you stop playing with dolls? I never made it a habit to play with dolls, but generally I stopped playing with toys when I was either 10 or 11. What makes you want to take a survey? The mood just pops in and when it does, I do surveys. Is your life your phone? No. Does anyone currently like you right now? Welp, it’s way beyond like these days. Do you know someone who is so good at lying? Not really, I don’t hang around with liars. I stopped dealing with those kinds of people when I left high school. Do you like scary movies? Sure. Do you believe that there’s life out there somewhere else? The universe is massive and we cannot be the only ones out here is what I believe, so yes. Would you rather visit: The Eiffel Tower or Egyptian Pyramids? Pyramids. Do you watch the show The Simpsons? I used to, before. Who is your favorite cartoon character? Errrrrr Daria. And Ice Bear too. Who was the last person you held hands with? Gabie. Would you like to work at a candy shop? No, candy shops here are a bore. It’s like one lonely stall perched at the middle of a mall and everyone just passes by it because candy is so expensive. Wouldn’t want to be found behind one. When you wash your hands, do you always use soap? No. Do you only buy clothes that are under $20? Cost of living here is quite cheap, and clothes, if converted to dollars, are generally under $20, so yes most of my wardrobe is. Anything bought costing higher than that and you’ll be perceived as really rich. If someone ever caught you cheating, would you confess to it? Ok first of all fuck never, but I mean if I was already caught, confessing is the most common sense thing to do anyway, so I would. Would you be surprised if your most recent ex called you tonight? No...tonight she goes back to her dorm, and she always asks to call because she never likes the feeling of being driven back there. This year last year can you remember who you liked? Sure. Clear as day. Do you care: not enough, too little or too much? It’s different for every situation. You're phone is ringing. It's your worst enemy. What do you say? It depends on what she’s going to say. Were you single on your last birthday? No. The last time I was single on my birthday was 2014. Did anything brighten up your day today? It’s 5:28 AM. Would you like to go to New Jersey? Yeah sure, mostly because AJ Lee is from there and I would want to see the state she lived in growing up.

Have you heard of the Bed Intruder song? Of course. I had the Internet in 2011. Do you want to cut your hair? No. Has someone upset you within the last 48 hours? Yes. Will you be dating someone within the next month? Of course. Do you like suckers? Those are mostly American candy and by the time they’re sold here it gets really expensive, so I don’t know them all that well, or even have had them at all. Do you listen to Rihanna? Her songs that get to radio, sure. I love them. I haven’t voluntarily listened to the rest of her albums though. Next time you will leave the city you’re in? This weekend. Have you ever had a really big fight with your best friend? Only with Gabie. I don’t see why I should pick a fight with Angela any time soon. The last time we argued was maybe Grade 5? and over something small, too.   Do you wear earrings? No, I gave up on earrings when I accidentally ripped my pierced skin on my left ear in Grade 4. Do you own a red dress? Yup, one. Do you have feelings for someone? Yes. There’ve been so many varieties of this question in this one survey. Do you like chocolate? I sure do. Can money buy happiness? YES IT CAN and don’t tell me it won’t in even the least possible way. What's something you want really bad right now? To post this survey already.
