Cinnnn - me catchin' up on your whole legacy from the bloody beginnin' Holy moly, this story is a rollercoaster of a million emotions. So you might have seen me likin' like a queen each post. 😂 Damn, I have to admit this is by far one of the more intriguing stories I've read so far. Let me tell ya' what I love the most. Those exchanges between Indya and you? I simply can't! 🤣 Morti and Bella? With their summaries and conclusions? I'm dead, and I love this. Now, guess what? I just finished the first ACT. Geez, I always knew that if at all? Sean would be the one who would move first and kiss our girl. Welp, the finale at the end of Act One was to be expected. It's still insane and crazy, tho! I want a family! Indya: That's nice! Like Guuurl, did you hear what he said? 😁 I mean, I know they will have a junior later on. Yeah, well! You pop up with the latest posts on my dash, ha😆! So I know what I know🙈! But damn, the end is so sad. 😔

Now, I need to finish Act Two.😏 I'm sure I will continue to laugh, feel mad, roll my eyes, and shake my head about their actions. Don't worry! Once I'm up to date? I will start to spam you with my thoughts and comments. Will be back after Act Two. Until then, I'll spam you only with my likes and hearts😂. So please enjoy the ride with me🥺. I'm not able to comment. If I start to comment now - it will take me forever to finish your legacy. And I want to spam ya with the latest stuff, hehe! Thank you so much for your entertaining storytelling skills, Cin! You are wonderful! Keep rockin, gur! 🤗

The many faces I had while reading your story ⬇🤣

Me watching every notification from you during Act 1

It was WILD back then!!! A MADHOUSE!!! And for all of the reasons you mentioned I cringe a little but then remember what it was like hitting those arcs and the highs and the lows and the way Indya used to curse me out. She and I have a better relationship now so....

I am SO GLAD you're on this ride friend and thank you for the kind words. I always wonder what folks are thinking when they reach a certain point in this, the story that never ends. I will never forget what it was like to write it and see all the reactions come rolling in!

Enjoy Act 2 friend but keep your seatbelt on because ..... reasons. LMFAO

Shout out to the homie @ashubii who is working their way through Act 1 right behind you LOL! I swear I love y'all.

#best readers ever #i love my friends!

(i'm going to blaze this post because teachers report to campus in 22 days and students return after we have five days of PD and prep).

Regardless of age, grade, subject, etc. would y'all mind sharing your perspectives on classroom environments and design?

I started at my current campus in February after the school cycled through three other teachers, and the room I inherited was mostly full of garbage (not hyperbole or sarcasm). I very much believe in co-creating spaces with students, but my prep period is at the tail-end of the day and once school starts it's like being launched on Disney's Hollywood Studios' "Rockin' Rollercoaster," except the ride lasts 180 days and there's no continuous soundtrack.

There also is a dominant teacher aesthetic that ranges from chevron everything to pastel bohemian to various interpretations of rainbow - it's great if you like that! But it can become expensive (purchasing materials or printing out decoration files online) or just straight up overwhelming.

Think back to your time in school - what made certain classrooms more inviting or easier to learn/focus in? Things to consider:

- Colors and patterns used in dècor

- Seating arrangements and options

- What was on the walls? Educational or inspirational content? Student work? Nothing at all? Your teacher's quirky obsession?

- What was your favorite room in school? Your least favorite? Why?

- Did the decorations or theme change throughout the year or stay the same?

- What do you wish you had in your classrooms growing up that you've come to appreciate or need now?

For context, I teach middle school media studies, which include journalism, yearbook, and a literary magazine. Class sizes of 20+. I teach in the desert and oh! My room doesn't have any windows!

***I can write grants and thrift, but I can't afford Loop earplugs for every kid, etc. Also - fire code (I know some folks really love the sky covers for fluorescent lights, but they're a fire hazard)!

#i will compensate you for your generous input by helping you or your children with high school or AP English courses #i just don't want to be hot gluing stuff on the walls during passing period #thank you for your patience and consideration and time!#(are any other teachers on a year-round schedule and already expected to submit lesson plans or is it just me???)#i know a poll could be more efficient but i hate anticipating response options and i always think of new ones after posting

My trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios as a Regressor🥰🎀

Here’s a little thread talking about my time at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studio. I’ll talk about the different experiences I had, rides, toys and more! Thread below🧵⏬ (SFW!) :)

Just a little disclaimer😁

I went on this trip as a family vacation. So I wasn’t able to regress fully like I normally would when home alone. My family doesn’t know about my regression at all. My mom has a sort of idea but just thinks I’m young at heart. I didn’t fully regress but that didn’t stop me from feeling little at Disney. I mean it’s hard not to at a park made for kids! With that out of the way let’s get into it!

First and foremost let’s talk about Florida right now😬🔥

It’s HOT! When I went we had 85% humidity and 95 degrees outside. Despite putting sunscreen on TWICE I got sunburn on my face, shoulder and back. I think I drank about 4 water bottles and still felt lightheaded.

The best advice is to pace yourself. Anytime I felt myself getting over heated I went to a restaurant and relaxed for a couple or I went to an easier attraction like Muppets 3D show, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Frozen Singalong or Star Tours.

Get yourself a refillable water bottle! There are plenty of spots around the park that have water bottle filling stations which are great for keeping cool under this crazy heat in the summer!

Let’s talk about the best attractions for Regressors😆🎢🎠

For younger Regressors like myself I suggest:

Star Tours - I absolutely love Star Wars. If you love Star Wars too and want a more milder ride then Star Tours is your ride. It’s a thrilling attraction. But the beginning is so cute! You walk through a Star Wars theme “airport” with R2D2 bickering with C-3PO. Then the attractions has C-3PO driving your spaceship while you sit in a seat with a seat belt and 3d classes. If you love Star Wars this ride is BEYOND FUN!

Muppets 3D Vision - As a HUGE muppets fan I love this attraction. It’s the best for those like myself who need a break and some AC. You sit in a theater and watch a 3d show of the muppets! I mean, what more could you want! It also has firework lights on the ceiling and the old men critics are sitting with you in their own little box. So cute!!

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway - I LOVE THIS RIDE! It’s such a relaxing yet fun ride! The theme of the ride is being able to step into a cartoon with Mickey and Minnie. Goofy is hilarious! There are so many Easter eggs too. Gotta keep an eye out. I was giggling the whole time. There’s a photo I took of the cartoon characters building the railway, (see photo below) and if you look around the photo you can see the walls are decorated to look cartoonish! Super detailed and immersive!

Toy Story Mania - This is another super fun ride! You sit in a ride vehicle with a blaster and 3d glasses. (Now writing this I realized there are a ton of rides with 3D glasses😅😂)

Frozen Singalong - I’ve never personally been to this show myself because my siblings would kill me for even suggesting it. But I’ve seen clips of it and it looks so fun! It’s a Frozen themed show that talks about the story and has the audience sing along to songs from the first movie! Great way to beat the heat and regress a bit:)

Now some rides for older Regressors:

Slinky Dog Dash - This is a milder rollercoaster (in my crazy rollercoaster experience). I absolutely love this ride because it’s smack in the middle of Toy Story land and is themed with different characters spread around the rollercoaster. These characters include: Jessie, Rex, and Squeaky. Throughout Toy Story land and this ride everything is made up of toys, making you feel like a toy yourself. Giant Janga logs and alphabet blocks make up these attractions. The ride itself is literally slinky dog and he talks throughout the ride. It honestly feeling like your on a Slinky when riding it! (See my photos below😁)

Rockin Rollercoaster - This is a high speed, intense, upside down rollercoaster. If you’re a crazy rollercoaster fan like myself then this is your ride! The theme of this ride is that the band Aerosmith wants you to go to their concert so you go in a stretched limo ride vehicle. I will warn those who go on a bit milder rollercoasters, this is not for the faint of heart. This ride starts off launching you from a stand still to 57 mph speeds (91 kilometers per hour) straight into a loopy loop. I haven’t been on this ride in a really long time when I went on this trip. The launch had me really feeling the g-forces. But I’m a crazy rollercoaster fan so I greatly enjoyed it! (See photo below for ride vehicle)

Tower of Terror - Another high thrill attraction. Besides myself I don’t know anyone else who enjoys this ride. The theme is a elevator that suddenly breaks and drops. It drops you about 4 or 5 times and it’s fast! So fast that you fly for a second or two off your seat (don’t worry you’re wearing a seat belt). I like that weightless feeling but it’s not for everyone.

Star Wars Smugglers Run - If you’re a Star Wars fan like myself then you’re gonna love Galaxy’s edge! It’s a whole section of the park that is theme to look like a Star Wars planet! The attractions in this section are Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance. Smugglers Run is a simulator ride where you literally pilot the Millennium Falcon! It sits 6 people, 2 pilots, 2 gunners and 2 engineers. I love this ride! Who wouldn’t want to fly the Falcon?!

Star Wars Rise of the Resistance - This is the most immersive Star Wars ride I’ve ever been on. It feels like you’ve been taken into space! I don’t want to spoil much of this ride because there are a lot of surprises but it’s beyond cool! One drop at the end but mostly a smooth and easy ride! (See photo below of an x-wing!)

Alien Saucers - A spinning attraction in Toy Story land. If you’re not for spinning rides it might not be your speed because you don’t control the spinning part of it. It sort of whips your ride vehicle around itself. It’s a lot of fun and adorable themed.

Let’s talk food!🥨🍭🍪

In my opinion Hollywood studio isn’t the greatest when it comes to food. But it does do well with snack. As someone with a lot of stomach issues I stayed away from the greasier options and opted for eating a Mickey Pretzel! For sweets they had funnel cake and a Mickey Mouse cookie! I got the cookie but the funnel cake looked amazing too. For all you muppet fan they have a Rizzo themed pizza restaurant that makes pretty decent pizza. They also have a lot of nicer sit down restaurants like one where you sit in a mini car or a 50’s themed restaurant. Overall not too bad!

For those with Disabilities going to Disney💘

Before you even go to the park, make an appoint to talk with Disney’s disability center. They were super accommodating to my needs and made a plan for how I would navigate my day around the park. This is extremely helpful for anyone with any disability. They were extremely kind and understanding. Without this I don’t think my day at the park would’ve been as easy as it was.

The nighttime shows!🎆🏰

Hollywood Studios offers two different shows to end the day with: Fantasmic or the regular projection firework show.

The projection firework show is nice if you don’t want to be in a crowded show area. There is plenty of space and you get to see a series of different movies and show throughout the years projected on the main theater. It ends the night with fireworks that are super cool!

Fantasmic! - This is there you want to go for the coolest show to end the night at Hollywood Studios. It does get VERY crowded. It’s a major production show complete with fireworks, fire, projections, lights and even water special effects. Mickey Mouse host the show! It’s about using your imagination! The show features: Mickey, the villains of Disney, Pocahontas, Elsa, Moana, Aladdin, The lion king, beauty and the beast, the little mermaid and Erik, Snow White and the Prince, and many more! One of the coolest shows I’ve ever seen!! You gotta see this! My little side was screaming inside! So much fun! The show ends with a river boat with all you’re fav Disney character! (See below for photo!)

What I got myself at the park!🧸🚂

I got myself a stuffie of one of my fav Star Wars characters Princess Leia! She’s not super soft but I thought of her more as a protector to watch over me at night! She’s got her classic white outfit and side buns! As a HUGE Toy Story fan, I got myself Rex! I have a stuffie of him but not an actual Rex! So I got him to join my collection of Toy Story themed toys. I also got myself a pin of baby Minnie. She’s so cute and I felt she related to my little side!

Overall I had a TON of fun being a Regressor at a theme park. It doesn’t matter if you’re with your family or by yourself. You can still regress a little and be yourself at Disney! Disney is for the kid inside of all of us, so let your inner child out! I hope all this info helps you if you plan on making a trip to Hollywood Studios! If you have any questions please feel free to message me!😁🎆🏰

THE LIBERTINES: ROCKIN’ AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Back in action - and in truly festive spirit - for a Margate knees-up ahead of forthcoming fourth album 'All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade', the likely lads are writing a positive new chapter onto their wild career.

Words: Lisa Wright Photos: Ed Miles 20th December 2023

The Libertines have been known for many things over the years. As one of the most storied indie outfits of the ‘00s. As an example of that rare magic that can happen when two people - in their case, rollercoaster bromance frontmen Pete Doherty and Carl Barât - spark in a way that makes something far bigger than the sum of its parts. As a band whose generation-defining first two albums dressed the genre up in romance and red military garb before imploding in a mess of destruction and addiction.

Two decades and two reunions on, and all these things remain true. But right now, in the fireside belly of their Margate hotel The Albion Rooms, the band have got other things on their mind: namely, what a Libertines Christmas single could entail. “‘Can’t Stand Tree Now’. No wait, ‘Death on the Sledge’…” suggests Doherty with a glint in his eye as photos are taken and his massive dog Gladys snaffles a mince pie clean out of his hand. “‘Tell It To We Three Kings!’” pipes up bassist John Hassall, as all four signal their approval and break into impromptu festive song - not for the first or last time this afternoon.

The Libertines’ forthcoming new album - their first in nearly a decade, and second since reforming - might be named ‘All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade’, but on the titular Margate street, on a blustery December day, the mood is anything but sedate. The band have congregated for a special weekender of events to launch the record, beginning with an intimate show at the Lido down the road later in the evening - a working men’s club-type room with chintzy Christmas dressing that clearly hasn’t seen this sort of rowdy action in decades. At one point we turn around and someone’s bag is on fire. It gets hastily stamped out. The show goes on.

A few weeks before this, however, and the two frontmen are gathered in the oak-panelled backroom of a posh London pub, viewing The Albion Rooms from a different angle. They’ve just been delivered the mock-ups of their latest LP sleeve, on which a cast of colourful characters line the street outside their Margate space. “That’s Sister Mary from the song ‘Mustang’; that’s the ‘Man with the Melody’; that’s the refugee from ‘Merry Old England’,” points out Doherty. “Look she’s got a bottle of rum in the pram as well, she’s shoplifting. That’s good, that. Very clever,” he nods with satisfaction.

The pair have a lot to be satisfied about, too. They’ve come out the other side of the metaphorical tornado with their band and their friendship largely intact; ‘All Quiet…’, we suggest, sounds like an album made by a group of people that genuinely want to be there. “I’m glad it sounds that way because it’s utterly true, and it’s an album we actually did want to make and we really put everything into the songs,” explains Barât. “Even saying that is a bit emotional for me…”

“He’s [Doherty] a part of my life that I’d miss horrendously if it wasn't there.— Carl Barât

The path to The Libertines’ latest was a very different one to any of those that have come before for the band. These days, both frontmen live comparatively sedate family lives on their respective coastlines - Barât in Margate and Doherty in France. Doherty has been clean for several years since relocating during the pandemic; his day-to-day world is clearly a whole universe away from the not-so-good old days.

Having decamped to Jamaica as a duo “to plot up together a while and see what was what”, they set up camp in a glass studio on top of a hill where, Doherty notes, “the glass was so well-polished, all the local birds kept flying into the walls”. “Every so often you’d just get a thud, and it wouldn’t kill ‘em but they’d be stunned and slowly come to life and then I’d draw them. They’re on my wall,” he says. The musical results of the trip were slim pickings (“When we got back and sat down with everyone and played the demos, we were a bit shocked at how bad they were…”), but the willingness to keep going together was cemented.

Reconvening with Hassall and drummer Gary Powell, the following sessions in Kent and Normandy were surprisingly wholesome affairs. “Some of those nights when we were doing backing vocals, it felt like we were getting a bit lashed up but we weren’t, we were all really sober. But it had that same energy,” recalls Doherty. Barât chuckles: “The energy that’s imbued in us from years of lash!” And whilst we must all pour one out for a song left on the cutting room floor, ‘What A Time For The Bellhop’, which Barât describes as sounding “like the Blackadder theme tune”, what did emerge was a record that doffs its hat to the albums that made their name whilst creating notable differences along the way.

Though the flights of fancy and arcadian dreaming are still present and correct, there are splashes of cold reality to the likes of ‘Merry Old England’’s acknowledgement of the refugee crisis that feel like an important update. “It’s hard not to be [more rooted in reality] when it’s right in your face so vividly, especially in Margate,” Doherty says. “Thanet Council has had to house more refugees than any borough in this whole country; the two years I was in Margate, that was my everyday world.

“Even when we were looking for staff to work cash in hand at the hotel at the start, we were helping people out who’d come straight out the camp and then discovering a lot of them were fucking amazing artists, or mothers, brothers and sisters looking [for a place to exist] in the same way that our ancestors came over from Ireland or wherever. We’ve got a right old mix between us [in the band]; we’ve got about twelve different waves of immigrants, probably like most English people. There’s probably only about seven people in the depths of Wales who have pure Ancient Britain DNA.”

“It’s never felt normal - these characters, this chemistry. It never feels normal, but it’s certainly a lot more normal than it has been in years.— Carl Barât

In the years since 2015’s ‘Anthems For Doomed Youth’, there had been a lot of talk of new music, but nothing by way of action. “I’d been saying, ‘New music’s just around the corner!’ in interviews cos you don’t wanna not say that, but it had started to wear a bit thin,” says Barât. “We had this thing for ages in interviews where we’d list the songs but we’d just be coming out with titles on the spot,” remembers Doherty. “‘Yeah we’ve got a song called ‘Bottle Your Mum’ or something like that. And then we’d have to read back through the interview to write songs with those titles.”

It’s perhaps unsurprising that it took so long to record ‘Anthems…’’ follow-up when you look at the spectres that were still swirling around the band during its writing and release. “When I think back to that time, it’s all a blank. Not even a blur it’s just a jumbled blank,” muses Doherty as Barât mumbles: “Yeah, well there’s a reason for that…”

“It’s hard not to be [more rooted in reality] when it’s right in your face so vividly.— Pete Doherty

Today, the magnetic, see-sawing nature of the chemistry that’s been the pair’s greatest asset and biggest source of upset is in full swing. One moment they’re bickering about grammar and flinging hilariously petty insults (Barât: “You said ‘my bad’ the other day…” Doherty: “I have NEVER said ‘my bad’. EVER”); the next they’re breaking into random Cockney songs; a few minutes later, a topic will come up that looks like it might bring either or both to tears. These days, with a literal sea between them, they don’t get to hang out much outside of the band. “That’s why we come back and do it, I think,” says Doherty. “Because we want to check up on each other.” But there’s still the sense that the two musicians are bound together by something stronger and more innate than most. As Barât puts it: “He’s a part of my life that I’d miss horrendously if it wasn't there.”

Doherty has an analogy. “It’s like two shopkeepers that have got this massive backload of stock in the back room, and one of them decided he wanted to sell something else for a while and now he’s come back, not cap in hand exactly, but he’s like, ‘Actually, some of this fruit’s still good to go’,” he says, picking up steam. “‘Let’s pump out some tangerines in the early morning rush’, and it turns out they’re as juicy and ripe as they ever thought they were. And maybe it was just the glass that was dirty rather than the actual produce.”

Barât raises his eyebrow in mock indignation: “For me, I was selling tangerines and then he went into insurance. So now he’s back from insurance, he’s realised that tangerines taste nice and oranges aren’t the only fruit!” Cue both men breaking into a simultaneous rendition of ‘Let’s All Go Down The Strand (Have A Banana)’.

Watching The Libertines barrel through the hits as lucky Margate Lido ticket holders holler back every word; seeing the quartet mess about like old mates in front of a Christmas fire, and listening to a new record that feels like a band reinvigorated, there’s something undeniably heartwarming about this current era of the quartet. There’s still an aura of charming chaos around them, but these days it’s in a jolly, eccentric way rather than something that could genuinely rip them apart at any minute. “It’s never felt normal - these characters, this chemistry,” says Barât. “It never feels normal, but it’s certainly a lot more normal than it has been in years.”

“It makes me think of those two young lads tramping down the Holloway Road - how much we believed in the music - and in many ways that hasn’t really changed,” Doherty nods. “We’ve been a little pattern on the wallpaper of the great Albion tapestry. If you could dig up Shakespeare or Graham Greene or Oscar Wilde from the dead and say, ‘Hey! People are still fucking having it with your writing’, they’d be overjoyed. Sometimes I’ll be thinking maybe we aren’t relevant any more, and then some kid will come past on a bike in his muddy boots and leather jacket and say, ‘Ah Pete, I fucking love ‘Up The Bracket’ mate’, and that’ll reinvigorate me with the force.”

‘All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade’ is out 8th March via Casablanca/ Republica Records.

For no reason at all, a small(ish) collection of headcanons pertaining to Crowley and Aziraphale going to Disney World together:

Aziraphale loves rollercoasters. He's terrified by most of them, of course, but he realizes that they are a controlled thrill and (especially at Disney World) completely safe. They thoroughly excite him. He loves how they can be terrifying and fun all at the same time. He loves how different they all are and how each one provides a different type of thrill, a different type of adrenaline, and a different type of dizziness after you get off.

Crowley, on the other hand, hates them. To him, rollercoasters are man-made deathtraps built purposefully to make you feel like you're spinning out of control and falling to your death. Either they're entirely too terrifying, or they're actually quite slow and boring. He doesn't particularly feel like there's an in-between. When Aziraphale points out that Crowley regularly drives the Bentley at speeds much higher than the average rollercoaster runs and that his driving is far more dangerous than any rollercoaster could be, Crowley objects with the fact that everything is under his own control when he is driving the Bentley. The roads, the traffic lights, the pedestrians, himself, his car, everything is at the snap of a finger for him. He can't control anything in a rollercoaster. He has described the Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster as "what it would feel like if driving the Bentley gave me whiplash." And he is actually quite hurt that Aziraphale trusts rollercoasters more than he trusts Crowley's driving, but he would never admit that.

Still, Crowley rides the rollercoasters because he knows it makes Aziraphale so happy. (Aziraphale doesn't, however, make Crowley go on the Tower of Terror with him. Crowley gets rather triggered by the feeling of falling so rapidly--or rather being pulled down. It's like being dragged into Hell.)

Crowley's a dark ride snob. He's totally anti-screen usage in dark rides. He thinks it's lazy. He knows humans have the time, the talent, the brain, the resources, and the imagination to build practical sets and gorgeous, lifelike animatronics. Screens are lazy, soul-sucking, money-grabbing short cuts to build new rides, and he thinks they SUCK. He doesn't like a lot of the newer Disney rides for this reason (Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway is one that he is particularly upset about, because the concept is so cute to him but they fucked it up by using those damn screens!). His favorite rides are the Haunted Mansion and Mister Toad's Wild Ride. In fact, he was most certainly part of the protests against Disney World that attempted to prevent the park from removing and replacing the ride from Magic Kingdom. These protests were unfortunately unsuccessful, which is why Crowley actually prefers Disneyland over Disney World, which still has Mister Toad's Wild Ride as well as the "better" version of the Haunted Mansion.

Aziraphale quite likes the Alice in Wonderland ride, so he has no problem at all with going to Disneyland for Crowley. He also loves It's a Small World and Peter Pan's Flight. His favorite rollercoaster, however, is Expedition Everest. He loves the suspense of it, and how he can see all of the other parks from the rollercoaster's peak. He's often thought about miracling the Yeti fixed, but always dissuades himself, feeling that it would be a rather selfish miracle on his part. Even if it would make a lot of the humans happy, too.

Crowley also isn't a fan of the meet-and-greets. He actually thinks that the mascot characters are quite terrifying and that they would be much better utilized in some sort of horror attraction. It doesn't make sense to him that they are terrorizing thousands of children every day by trying to convince them that Mickey Mouse is some 6-foot-tall monster with a giant plastic head. He's not all that into the face characters either. In fact, he finds the Mary Poppins face character particularly offensive. He LOVES Mary Poppins, and he has probably met Julie Andrews in person, and there just isn't anyone else who can compare to her, and why are they even bothering to try?

Aziraphale doesn't entirely care for the mascot characters, but he LOVES the princesses. Belle, Ariel, and Aurora are his favorites, though Rapunzel has certainly grown on him in recent years. He also loves when he gets to meet the villains. No matter who he meets, he is always totally in character when interacting with them. The characters love it, the handlers love it, and even the other families around them love it. Crowley was embarrassed by it at first, but he really does find it adorable. That is, until Aziraphale drags him into it (which he always does) and he gets teased to Hell and back by the characters. Princess Tiana always seems to end up liking Crowley the most.

The food, of course, is Aziraphale's favorite part. With so many restaurants and cafes and bakeries and all sorts of other establishments, it's so hard for Aziraphale to choose his favorite places to eat and his favorite menu items. Epcot is especially challenging, though more for the fact that he has actually been to all of the countries in the World Showcase and he can always tell whether the food is quite authentic or not. It changes the experience for him even if the food is still fantastic regardless of its authenticity. He did love the Restaurant Marakesh in the Morocco Pavilion, and is quite upset that the place is no longer open. His favorite restaurant, however, is definitely Be Our Guest. Beauty and the Beast is his favorite Disney princess movie and he loves the theming of the restaurant. He nearly cried getting to step into a real life version of the Beast's castle for the first time. He also thinks it is the perfect spot to have a romantic dinner with Crowley, especially if they are sat in the ballroom.

Crowley is a drink-around-the-world ass motherfucker. He LOVES going to Epcot because he loves that he can get alcohol in every single pavilion. He and Aziraphale also are probably not super into Star Wars, but Crowley does love Oga's Cantina when Galaxy's Edge opened because the theming of it is incredible and the drinks are fancy and fun.

They love the Epcot festivals. Aziraphale's personal favorite is the Flower and Garden festival because he loves the character topiaries (and the food, of course). Crowley's is the Food and Wine festival because of the wine, of course.

Okay so since I apparently never explained it...

The Carnival is an attraction I added to the Pizzaplex because Ruin had a scrappd map that was going to include a carnival and Help Wanted 2 had a lot of fairground kind of games in it. It's also an area mentioned in the books that we never see as far as I know, and I dunno I thought it would be fun to make my own version of it.

The Carnival actually has five different names depending on where and when you see it in the Plex. On paperwork, it's known as the Seasonal Carnival, but the public know it as the Snowfall Fair, the Flowering Festival (or Blooming Jamboree maybe?), the Creature Carnival and the Sunshine Pier. Each one of the non-paperwork names is for a different season, because the attraction changes by the season, with a different animatronic to match.

How do they do this? With incredible health a safety obviously!

Instead of scenery being painted onto the walls, it's all big, collapsable set pieces, that are alarmingly easy to drop. There's easy to move props everywhere and the various lights around the place change for different effects. There's some smaller rides and attractions that are also swapped out, with some bigger ones that aren't, and a whole load of games to play. Honestly, outside of the animatronics, this is probably one of the cheapest attractions they put together purely because of cut corners, cheap games, and relocating things from other Fazbear locations to fill out the space. The animatronics are deactivated and stored safely nearby (normally anyway) to be reactivated come their next season, but often times they're still wandering and fucking around regardless lmao Fazbear is nothing if not competent, right?

Anyway, the place is located (for now anyway) under the daycare and main lobby area of the Plex. It's got games like the Bonk-A-Bon and Fazerblast shooting games from Help Wanted 2, along with games like Hook A Duck, darts, the one where you climb up a rope ladder to ring a bell, the horse racing game where you all compete by throwing balls along a table into various holes to make the horse move, basketball, the ring toss, other ball throwing ones and whatever others I can't think of right now. The permanent rides are a waltzer, a small droptower, maybe a little rollercoaster, a small funhouse, one of those octopus rides, maybe a Rockin' Tug or whatever they're called, and then the carousel.

Most of the rides and games don't take up much space, but the carousel is the centrepiece of the attraction and is pretty damn big. It's like the one from Help Wanted 2 in that it has three belts of Fazbear characters that rotate around the centre pillar, with the middle belt going the opposite way to the other two. Except it looks more like a typical carousel, brighter, flashier, and only a few of the characters don't move up and down. The carousel closed a while before the whole Carnival closed for good due to an accident involving some teenagers, an animatronic and the staffbot that was operating the ride, as well as Fazbear refusing to care about anything but labour costs and profit margins. To put it on a timeline, the attraction closed about a year before Roxy debuted to the public which is a few years before you'd have the events of Security Breach. The carousel was at most closed a year before the rest of the Carnival.

Moving on, the Snowfall Fair is winter themed and set in a snowy forest clearing. All the set pieces are pine trees and glittery snow, with the lights all cold and fake snow and icicles on everything. The food vendors sell a lot of hot chocolate, there's a fake ice rink set up, and a bunch of winter themed prizes to win. They add a helter-skelter type of thing with a little sled you ride on to the bottom and they have an area for snowball fights which is basically just dodgeball with small, white, glittery foam balls. I don't have an animatronic for this season yet, but I'm thinking a polar bear Freddy or Nedd bear or something would work well here. Maybe even penguin Chica I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Flowering Festival (or Floral Festival, or Blooming Jamboree, whatever I decide to settle on) has a spring time theme. This is where my idea for an Easter Bonnie and Chica come into play as they'd fit right in here. The set pieces are all painted like the moors, full of grass, heather, butterflies, etc. It's a bit brighter and a lot more colourful, with fake plants and flowers everywhere and fake birds playing birdsong from speakers and stuff dotted around. There's hide and seek games, scavenger hunts, a game where you have to catch the butterflies, and flowercrowns as prizes. Probably other stuff too but I'm drawing a blank on spring themed stuff ngl

The Sunshine Pier is summer themed, being bright, warm and set on the amusement pier of a beach. There's a few kids paddling pools around that look like they came from a sale at Tescos, a big sandpit, a trampoline, a more traditional helter-skelter and I'm thinking maybe a Monty or a Happy Frog variant running it. There's a fake campfire like there is in Kid's Cove, fake seagulls sat on top of attractions, deck chairs and beachballs strewn around everywhere and a remote control crab for a special prize that the regular kids have an obsession over. You can get water balloons and waterguns pretty much everywhere and when Foxy was still around, he would get the kids to race boats with him in the paddling pools.

The Creature Carnival is Halloween themed and the original animatronic got scrapped somehow maybe (haven't got that far yet but I'm thinking a Monty or Bonnie maybe?) and is later run by former daycare attendant, Jack-O-Moon. The set pieces are of a spooky graveyard and abandoned buildings, with some minor smoke machines to give the place a foggy look. The ceiling lights are completely off for this one, and instead, the attraction is well lit with lamps, streelight props and the usual floor lights. There's a 'Trick or Treat' game where various staffbots hidden around the place will give you cheap sweets and sometimes arcade tokens, and they add a ghost train and haunted house.

The attraction is pretty fun and a good money maker, but it's not one of the more popular attractions. Fazbear Ent. also use it for special events since it's very easy to switch things up in there by design, and this doubles as a way for Fazbear to see what would be good for permanent attractions on a smaller scale. It's also their go-to if the Plex is dwindling in popularity to just greenlight random shit to get throwin in there to see what sticks and what brings people back in. They've had all sorts of shit in there lmao it keeps it interesting

Aaannndddd since this post is already stupid long, that'll do for now!

#flys plex history #plex history: seasonal carnival #<- new tag system maybe?#anyway! yeah that's what the carnival is!#I can explain the accident if so desired btw this is just a really long post lmao #AND I'm hungry so...#anyway yeah imagine Roxy and the Minis finding this!#there's some more huge features to this place but as I KNOW I haven't gone over the specific Chica variant it's related to-#none of that would make sense here so yeah that'll do
