someone on MLPTP asked for Lil' Litters puppies/kittens so I've been attempting them in the background.

More information about these sculpts (aka down the rabbit hole) after cut

The coloration of the models in my shots were based off the My Little Puppy "Pretty Poodle" family, but models were reused for other sets

For example, Sweet Spaniel family had the "blue poodle" model but a unique sitting spaniel, although it looks like the proportions + ears are the same as the other two

And then the next release had the "Funtime Spaniels" set which had the same poses but was more colorful, and also the puppies with the other "mom dog" sculpts:

The website Toysisters, where I got the above photos, mentioned that the entire second line of My Little Puppies is hard to find so I looked them up and

This was the only My Little Puppy 2nd year release I could find and its a single figure for $75.

Also in the 1980s hasbro purchased the rights to a Barbie competitor (originally made in the UK) called Sindy and reused some of the pet molds in pajama party packs:

And this one also sells for a lot and isn't really available in many places

I don't bring up the prices, btw, as a critique of vintage toy collecting or anything. I don't make these models because I think people should just make new ones all the time. I /like/ that we're preserving old toys.

Rather, I hope my sculpts are used for collectors who have part of a collection and can't find a real vintage one, or people who think it is sweet and want to make a custom one (like they could do their dog or just a fun new thing). It's just for fun and not a replacement

I think what really disappoints me about all the lil'litters characters is they don't have the colorful marks like the ponies. If you didn't know, the original pony marks were made to imitate the marks on an appaloosa horse

And to me, while they aren't the only reason the ponies did well, they're definitely one of the things that makes them unique, like the carebears stomachs or strawberry shortcakes' fruit hat

Like they made a dalmation dog and they didn't even give it like... heart shaped spots. Huge missed opportunity there imo.

Also they did the siamese in reverse dark-light colors and iut looks like a fox. Siamese cats don't work this way, they gotta be darker around the tips for a reason.

Hasbro did release a line called Little Pretty that had a similar conceit, but I find the sculpt of the toys... underwhelming. They look more like Proto-Littlest Pet Shop to me than My Little Ponies:

The one on the left is supposed to be a dog and I only figured that out because she has no ears, just hair...

I much prefer the Lil Litters sculpts, they look more detailed and unique to me, and more similar to the OG MLPs

the My Little Kitty / Lil Litters were actually released concurrently with the Little Pretty line, both around 1990, so the discrepancy in artstyle feels really weird. but also it's just such a weird choice to create two similar looking brands to me? I don't... get it.

This was also year 9 of my little pony so the brand was going wild with the ponies and its interesting to me how plain and early-years the dogs+cats were in comparison

they were giving the ponies neon colors, false eyelashes and built in pockets and decided that their other animal lines would just be... different colors.

anyways my send-off is here are the first releases of lil litters:

#my art #blender #sculpt #is this even an art post it got so long that i put a readmore #vintage toys #vintage lil littlers #mlp lil litters

The eagerly awaited part 2 of the DILF!Steve concert saga is here!! Part 1, in case you missed it.

"You're not going."

"Come on! I haven't thrown up in an hour!"

"The drive to the venue is an hour and a half."

"Steve-"

"And if you throw up in my car-"

"Oh my God-"

"I'll kill you."

Steve doesn't need to see Dustin's eye roll in order to feel the full force of it through the phone.

"I'll just kill you. You'll have a headstone within the week that says Here Lies Dustin Henderson: Rightfully Murdered for Puking in Steve Harrington's Car," he continues as he packs Capri-Suns into the cooler for the car ride.

He doesn't remember ever being that thirsty as a kid, but if Anna wants strawberry kiwi, Anna gets strawberry kiwi. It helps that it's Steve's favorite flavor, too.

"I'd need a big ass headstone to fit all of that," Dustin snaps.

"Your big-ass ego would demand no less, shithead," Steve shoots back.

"Swear jar, Daddy!" Anna calls from her room, across the house because while she doesn't listen to Steve when he's right in front of her, she can hear him break the swear jar rule from halfway across the world.

He zips up the cooler, fishes a quarter out of his pocket, and throws it into the half-full soup can next to the stove.

(A quarter doesn't mean much, but Anna doesn't know that. The day Steve teaches that kid about inflation is the day his pockets become permanently empty.)

"Did she just swear jar you?" Dustin asks from over the phone.

"You baited me into it."

"I did no such thing."

Steve rolls his eyes. "You're not coming, though, are you?"

Dustin sighs, and, for all his teasing, Steve does genuinely feel bad. "I still feel like if I breathe wrong, I'll hurl, so, no. I don't think I'll manage the car ride, nevermind the actual show."

"Sorry dude."

"Don't be. Some dickhead will live stream the whole thing on Instagram, anyway. I'll live vicariously through them."

Steve snorts and picks up the cooler. He got Anna dressed beforehand, so it's just a matter of getting her to stop playing with whatever toy she dug up - Play-Doh has been the fixation of the week - in her room so they can go.

"Besides," Dustin continues, and Steve hates where this is going. "Anna loved the show, and you've got a reason-"

"Nope," Steve says, knocking on Anna's door. "Don't finish that sentence."

"All I'm saying-"

"I know what you're gong to say, which means you know my answer. I don't date."

Anna opens her door. From the little Steve can see inside, there are at least three containers of Play-Doh open and strewn across the floor. He thinks her Barbies are involved in it somehow.

"Time to go," Steve says, and he thinks, Please don't let there be Play-Doh in the Barbie hair.

"Five more minutes," Anna tries.

"Nope. Clean up and roll out."

"Hi, Anna," Dustin says through the phone.

"Uncle Dusty!" Anna shrieks, and she starts jumping up and down. "Are you comin', too?"

Dustin sighs, and Steve can't tell if it's at the nickname or if he's still cursing the universe. "No, but you and your dad have a great time, okay?"

"Can you, can you tell Daddy I should get five more minutes?"

Steve raises his eyebrows at her. Anna, to her credit, ignores him wonderfully.

"If you clean up," Dustin says, because he's actually Steve's favorite person right now, "you get to do more headbanging at the concert."

Anna gasps like Steve didn't already tell her that earlier today, and she gets to work on putting her toys away. Steve helps, of course, and he finds that there is, in fact, Play-Doh in two of her Barbies' hair.

Fun. They're going to turn into Buzzcut Barbies when Anna goes to sleep because he can already tell that they are the furthest thing from salvageable.

But that doesn't matter right now. What matters is getting Anna in the car, deploying the first two of many strawberry kiwi Capri Suns from the cooler, and making the drive to the venue, which Steve does with minimal road rage and accompanied by the Disney radio station.

Success by all metrics, really.

Dinner might as well be now, so Steve shells out a truly disgusting amount of money for overpriced chicken nuggets and fries at the venue. Anna will only eat half her portion but say she's hungry later, but that's what the snacks and water Steve smuggled in via his jacket are for.

They get to their seats, dinner finished up, just as the lights go down for the first opener. Steve looks to his left, half-expecting Eddie and his friends to be there before remembering that they won't be.

He tries not to feel too disappointed. He fails miserably.

The seat next to him, however, isn't empty. There's a note taped to the back of it, one addressed to Steve and Miss Anna, so Steve feels alright taking and opening it.

At the top, there's a messily scrawled phone number. Underneath, it says:

Here's my number. Probably a bad idea to call with all the noise. Texting works, though you should do that after the show. I'll be a little busy until then.

-Eddie

Steve puts the note in his pocket, puts Anna's ear defenders on, puts his own earplugs in, and looks at the stage, where-

Hang on.

He squints at the stage, where four guys have started playing a song that, frankly, sounds too much like literally all the music Steve listened to yesterday for him to care about all that much. The drummer is pretty small, with wild, curly hair. The bassist looks familiar. The lead singer, who is very talented but not to Steve's personal taste, also looks familiar. And the guitarist-

No way. No way in hell.

It's a total coincidence. Lots of guys have long, curly hair and heavy jewelry and big eyes and are wearing formal wear, for some reason, and catch Steve's eye, and-

"Thank you for such a great welcome!" the guitarist says, and his smile totally isn't doing anything to Steve, thanks very much.

Anna stops moving, where she's standing next to Steve, and climbs up into his lap to get a better look at the stage. She looks out, then back at Steve, then out, then back at Steve, making a face as confused as Steve feels.

Some days, he thinks he ended up with a clone, not a kid.

"I'll get off the mic in a second. I only do the talking because Jeff," the guitarist points at the lead singer, who ducks his head, "is really shy."

Jeff. That name is definitely relevant, but Steve is a permanent resident of denial.

"We fought about what song we were going to include next in our set list, so much so that we didn't decide until yesterday and had to consult a tiebreaker."

Okay, maybe Steve is a less permanent resident of denial than he thought.

"So, thank you to Miss Anna, who did great at headbanging for her first time-"

Anna whips around so fast, her forehead nearly collides with Steve's jaw.

"And to Steve, who's a big fan of American Psycho."

At the song name, the crowd loses their minds, and if Anna wasn't sitting right in front of him, Steve would join them.

Because what the fuck is happening right now?

His question isn't answered. In fact, about five more questions pop up in its stead when, during the bridge of the song, Jeff puts on a clear rain jacket and picks up a prop axe.

Please, God, don't let this traumatize my kid, Steve thinks.

Anna, thankfully, doesn't get scared. When Jeff brings the axe down, again and again, Steve's weirdo daughter fucking smiles. And giggles. It's kind of cute, actually.

When the song ends, she turns back to Steve.

"That's Eddie onstage," Steve says, and saying it, somehow, makes it real.

"I thought so!" Anna says, and she turns back to watch the show. Steve puts an arm around her waist so she doesn't fall off his lap when she bangs her head to the music.

The rest of the songs, in Steve's opinion, are better than the opening song. They're more melodic, which Steve can definitely get behind, and each of them has a gimmick onstage, all based off of various horror movies. It's ridiculous, but also really, really cool.

And Eddie, onstage, because it is the same guy who flirted with him and was so sweet to Anna yesterday, is really, really hot.

Steve has never had a thing for guitarists before. He's never had a thing for musicians before. Hell, until a year ago, he didn't realize he had a thing for men.

Eddie is. Uh. Yeah. Really doing it for him.

Steve doesn't know whether it's his enthusiasm, or the way he moves, or seeing his hair tied up, or the fucking dress pants and suspenders, or just his hands, but he does know he has to get himself in check because this is an all ages show and he's here with his daughter.

He already knows he can't add these songs to his grading playlist, not when they're accompanied by visuals of Eddie playing his guitar.

Sweet Jesus.

"Alright, that's our set!" Eddie says. "Thanks, y'all, for sticking around for us, and let's give it up for the next act!"

The crowd, including Anna and Steve, cheer as they exit and the lights go up.

Steve fishes his phone out of his pocket, fully intending to add Eddie's number to his contacts, and is greeted by not one, not two, but sixteen missed calls from Dustin Henderson.

Naturally, Steve calls him back. "Who died?"

"What the fuck?" Dustin yells, and Steve just puts the phone on speaker to save the rest of his hearing. "Did Eddie fucking Munson just personally thank you from the stage?"

"Swear jar, Uncle Dusty!" Anna says.

"Sorry," Dustin says. "But Steve. Answers. Now."

"How do you even-"

"Instagram live. Is Eddie the guy you were telling me about yesterday?"

Steve takes his phone off speaker. Prior experience tells him that this conversation has a less than zero chance of staying PG, nevermind PG-13.

"Yeah," Steve says. "He is."

"The one who flirted with you, and you forgot to ask for his number."

"Well, I have it now."

"What?" Dustin shrieks, and Steve is incredibly thankful that he didn't take his earplugs out.

"He left me his number on the seat."

"Text him."

"I was going to, until I saw that you called me sixteen times."

"Jesus Christ, Eddie Munson was flirting with you."

Steve rolls his eyes and hands a pack of gummy bears to Anna when she taps his arm. "He could have just been nice. I don't even know if he's into guys."

"Have you looked at him?"

"Wow, Dustybuns, I didn't know you were homophobic."

"I think it's the complete opposite of homophobic to try to get you laid."

"Hanging up!" Steve shouts because a part of him will never see Dustin as any older than thirteen, and no thirteen year old should ever say that.

"Text-"

Steve hangs up the call. "Can I have a gummy bear?"

"No," Anna says, mouth full, in her seat, legs swinging.

"I bought them."

She shrugs. "You gave them to me. Mine now."

Steve stares. She stares right back.

He sighs and opens a new pack of gummy bears.

With his mouth full of sweet Haribo corpses, Steve takes out the note and adds Eddie to his contacts. Before he can overthink it, he sends him a message:

I guess I don't have to ask you what you do for a living. Just so we're even on that front, I'm a teacher, and Anna's full time job is preschool.

He tucks his phone back into his pocket and focuses on making this a good experience for Anna, who somehow wormed her way into a conversation with the intimidating-looking couple sitting next to her.

Because it's totally not like a literal rockstar is going to text him back. Right?

Part 3!!

send in the clowns - TEASER

🌙 staring. Hyuck & Mark & Jaehyun x afab!Reader

🔮 preview. “She’s not the reason we’re dressed as clowns,” Hyuck is quick to insist. He’s such a good liar. Jungwoo would almost believe it, if you hadn’t told him your Halloween clown plan. It’s no secret to you that your three frat friends all have crushes on you, so you’d decided to tell Jaehyun about wanting to fuck a clown, just to see who would actually follow through with the costume. You’d expected one, maybe two- but here are all three men, dressed as exactly what they are: clowns. And it’s obvious to Jungwoo that they think this is their own idea. As if you’re not the puppeteer behind this all. God, Jungwoo loves having you as a best friend, even if your bucket list includes a frat clown Halloween orgy with three of his best friends.

tw/cw. clown kink? orgy, foursome, unprotected sex, semi-inexperienced reader, oral, blow jobs, pussy eating, cum eating, squirting, fingering, masturbation, guided masturbation, spanking, choking, spit-roasting/Eiffel tower, cum/filling kink, praise, dirty talk, first time anal, cock warming, double penetration, triple penetration, multiple reader orgasms, dacryphilia, overstimulation, deep throating, face grinding, etc… I pet names: (hers) barbie, babe, baby.

👹 rating. 18+ explicit I wc. 10.6k

🍭 aus. Halloween, frat au, friends to lovers, Joker!Jae, Buggy!Mark, Pennywise!Hyuck, etc…

☀️ mlist + an. I'm not sure I can even explain this one tbh

“How long…” Mark leans close again, and his lips brush over your ear, “How long have you known we’re all into you.”

“You’re not great at hiding it, Mark,” you laugh.

“And you really don’t have a favorite?” he asks, pulling away to look you deep in your eyes.

“Do I seem like I have a favorite?” you counter.

“It’s obviously me,” Hyuck says loudly, pulling you back even tighter. “I’m everyone’s favourite.”

Mark ignores Hyuck, his gaze dipping down to your lips then back up. Even in a sea of bodies, with Hyuck rubbing against your ass, something about being pressed to Mark’s chest while he stares at you like this feels intimate. He’s so pretty, especially with the clown makeup and the blue hair- it gives him this dangerous edge, but below the layers of red, white and blue, this is still Mark, one of the softest men you’ve ever met.

You can’t help yourself, you lean forward, reaching for Mark’s shoulders-

He practically smashes his mouth against yours, and you realize how eager he is by the way his tongue immediately swipes a lick at your lower lip. His fingers dig into your hips, tugging you closer and away from Hyuck-

A second mouth finds your skin, with Hyuck groaning against your throat. The sensation makes a shiver run through you, and you part your lips for Mark, who dips his tongue inside.

You truly can’t believe your luck tonight. As you cling tighter to Mark, enjoying Hyuck’s rough hands on your body, you almost forget about Jaehyun- but as soon as he pops in your mind, you pull away from the roommates, turning to look for your Joker.

He’s no longer standing by the dance floor, he’s walking away, and your heart lurches in your chest.

“Jae-” you say, tugging away from Mark and Hyuck to chase after your favorite classmate. If you’re being really honest with yourself- you’d told Jae about wanting to fuck a clown because out of all three, he’s the one you could see yourself really going the distance with.

Jaehyun has two years on Mark, and three on Hyuck- he’s the most mature of the three karaoke fratboys you’ve been thirsting over. There’s something about him that’s always made you feel calm- in contrast to the chaos Hyuck brings, and the warm fuzzies Mark gives you.

You like them all in different ways, you suppose, and you can’t stand the idea of losing even one of them from your hook tonight.

“Jae!” you call again, louder this time as you follow him- catching up just as he makes it to the stairwell door. He turns to look at you, and you blink. “Where are you going?”

“Needed a stronger drink,” he muses, scanning your face. “You’ve got a little something, here-” he reaches, cupping your chin and brushing his thumb over your lips, “And here,” his fingers smooth across your neck.

“Oh-” you go to wipe at your skin, only to find white and red makeup on your hand.

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN!?

I came back to or HB and I got run over with the lack of Female character content. Specially in the queer area!

We got Millie, who gets the lowest attention. See doesn't have and actual episode about her as a person. Unhappy Campers it's not an actual episode about her- it's mainly Moxxie and her dealing with it. We don't get any flashbacks in comparison to Blitz, Moxxie, and Loona. Even when Chaz it's her ex, we only get the Moxxie's part of the story. We get an episode with full focus on Bllitz, Stolas and Moxxie perspective of things in an episode, but we never follow Millie alone her self.

What we got about Millie: Good at killing (Melee weapons), supportive, Country girl, anger? Moxxie's Wife

Unhappy campers tries to give her attention but not actually doing it. She gets everyone to love her and show she can do an endless amount of tricks. But the episode concentrates in Moxxie getting insecure again. The fact they barely want to write her shows in just giving her long fighting scenes instead.

What does she do? Like, does she have her group of friends outside of her job or no? How does that make her feel? Being in your mid 20's and not really having many friends, it's quite a thing to explore. Or does she have actual friends outside of Blitz, and her husband.

How does she feel about Blitz stalking them? Cause in the pilot she just laughs it off a lot! Why? She didn't say anything about Blitz coming to Ozzies to see them. Does she actually dislike Loona or the fact she is a hellhound? Does she feel like a normal Joe underlooked, cause maybe her family with multiple kids didn't give her top attention and recognition? Probably not because they didn't write that- I imagined that, just know. Apparently she just had a 'boring' good family and that's why we don't see anything of that.

I just fill in the spaces where the is nothing to say regarding Millie with Headcanons, basically...

Loona gets written kind of back and forward. She was so nice by the end of season 1- to then beat the shit off Blitz in season 2, episode 2. And She was given the reason of "blitz did something that hurt her" when she was in the wrong for being awful to the customers in the first place and try to guilt-trip her dad. In that same episode, we get Loona's backstory for getting adopted, but from Blitz Perspective. I loved how she was with Octavia. But she backtracks into being mean to everyone. Hopefully she gets to interact with her by the end of the season!

Verosika... Where is my girl? Haven't seen her! She gets to have genuine frustrations towards Blitz, I'm happy for that. I hope they don't write her into had being the bad one for blitz to look better.

Stella, she gets written as the worst to elevate Stolas as the least bad person to justify him and Stolitz. Her view of also getting forced to marry someone as a child is never given, she gets the least out of it to- she doesn't get any book or power- she sticks to her family. I think writing her as "stupid" and also the "I love tormenting you" is so shallow. Her power as an antagonist gets killed in order to put her brother as the main danger instead.

One thing in writting I don't think it's intentional is her treatment of Striker. It does call my attention that Stolas call Blitz an Imp, and imp based names- same with disregarding Millie and Moxxie- Meanwhile Stella treats her assistant like shit and says shit if "plebeian blabla" but when she gets in the Phone with Striker to cancel the killing. She is polite and calls him darling. Which is different!

I love that Octavia gets attention, but I know she is written to also elevate Stolas as a character. -And the writting fill force her into forgiving him. Also... her relationship with her Mom? Someone? Can we explore what she thinks of imps or hellhounds compared to her parents?

Sallie May? 2 Lines in 1 episode.

Barbie? Her story dealing with her mom dying got pushed in the BG due to her deleted content. uh... get drugs from being sexual as a +30 woman to a 19 yr human. Doesn't want to deal with Blitz cool! Fizz gets more backstory with Blitz than with her...

Glitz and Glam. They show up and act like assholes to Fizz (to make him seem more vunerable and dealing with a lot). For some reason, the concept of Mammon being abusive to Fizz only matter if it towards him. Because he just let Glitz and Glam take his place, even if they were being bitches to him- that doesn't make them have to endure Mammon's treatment too. They are also over villainized as if Blitz or wasn't an ass to everyone too.

Bee is there probably for one episode due to wall Kesha and shit. She is a contradiction on her self "gluttony - over indulgance" to then "Loona your dad is drinking to much and it worries me" ??? She is there to be a party girl and tell Loona what to do.

Overall she also only get Queer content out of the male characters. There is not a single WLW thing going on anywhere here. Meanwhile most the teasing of ships and jokes is MLM (blitzXmoxxie,blitzXstriker, blitzXstolas, blitzXchaz, blitzXfizz, moxxieXstriker, moxxieXchaz, fizzXasmodeous)

The only possible WLW joke is Bee and Loona. That's it!

For a show that gets to praised for representation of the trans woman character, It's less of a secondary character just yet. And no non-binary character anywhere.

(DO NOT SAY oh but in the BG, NO I'm TALKING ACTUAL CHARACTERS IN THE SHOW-not the bg succubus or the art team putting random stuff around!)

Class 1-A PowerPoint Night

A PowerPoint night is when a friend group all make PowerPoints on random topics and present them to each other in case anyone doesn’t know. This is what I think all of class 1-A would do.

Yuga Aoyama makes a PowerPoint explaining french slang terms that he thinks the entire class should start using

Mina Ashido makes a PowerPoint rating everyone’s families. Points are awarded based on presence of both parents, how well each student gets on with their parents, whether they have siblings (younger siblings get less points than older ones) and how much she personally likes their family members.

Tenya Iida makes a PowerPoint on how to revise for their upcoming exam, complete with diagrams and information about the psychology of learning. The class feel like they’re in a lecture.

Tsuyu Asui makes a PowerPoint where she turns things the class has said into Pinterest-style inspirational quotes and they have to try and guess who said what.

Ochaco Uraraka makes a PowerPoint on tips to save money, because you cant tell me some of the people in this class buy useless things they either lose, forget about, or have no idea what to do with.

Mashirao Ojiro makes a PowerPoint of things he does not understand. It features things such as the existence of languages, barcodes, and credit cards.

Denki Kaminari makes a PowerPoint called ‘Crying Wrapped’, which details the reasons he has cried over the least year, which months he cried the most and the least in, and rates his top 5 cries with little explanation

Eijiro Kirishima makes a PowerPoint called ‘things I’ve seen at the gym that just make sense’. Some of them have pictures to go along with them, and Ochaco and Katsuki nod along and say ‘I remember that’ to every other slide.

Koji Koda made a PowerPoint on why Aizawa should let them have a class pet. The PowerPoint actually had good reasoning so they emailed it to Aizawa, who only responded ‘no.’ And did not elaborate.

Rikido Sato makes a PowerPoint assigning each classmate a type of cake. He lists the reasons, the ingredients, and has a nice message for each member of the class on the slide with their cake

Mezo Shoji makes a PowerPoint about how Tokoyami is Not Real. Enough said.

Kyouka Jiro makes a PowerPoint detailing the soundtrack she would put together if their life was a movie, complete with photos and video clips of stuff they’ve done to go along with each moment she assigns a song to.

Hanta Sero makes a PowerPoint called ‘Canada is not real’, and it lists all the reasons why he believes Canada is made up. Shoto is nodding along and finds it very thought-provoking

Fumikage Tokoyami makes a PowerPoint analysing everyone’s entire zodiac charts. Kirishima is shocked to find out there’s more than just the sun sign. They also give everyone their horoscopes for the next month.

Shoto Todoroki makes a PowerPoint on conspiracy theories that he actually believes. They’re all completely insane but he does end up convincing some members of the class by the end.

Toru Hagakure makes a PowerPoint on Disney Men and whether or not she would trust them with her drink with little to no explanation. All the girls agree with her ratings.

Katsuki Bakugo makes a PowerPoint rating each of the barbie movies based on whether or not he could beat the protagonist in a fight. The class is shocked to find out that Katsuki does believe he would lose to some of the barbies.

Izuku Midoryia makes a PowerPoint analysing the class’s fighting techniques and their strengths and weaknesses as heroes, using all the notes he’s written about each of them in his notebooks. Additionally, he assigns everyone in the class a current pro hero that they’re most similar to.

Minoru Mineta makes a PowerPoint rating the girls in every class of their year group and is not allowed to present it.

Momo Yaoyorozu makes a PowerPoint assigning each classmate a different kind of tea, complete with the benefits of each flavour and why she would give it to them. She also includes the prices and the best places to buy them.

Thirst Tweets

W.C.- 1,6 k

“Hello, I’m Y/n Y/l/n…”

“And I’m Alessia Russo.”

You and Alessia sit perpendicular to each other at the Manchester United training grounds, having been called in for media after the first training of the day. It hadn’t been anything too straining, just some light passing and shooting drills before working with resistance bands and stretching. The later pass of the day would be the hard hitting one, full of running drills and more resistance before ending with a strength pass.

“So, what will we be doing today Alessia?” Neither you nor Alessia had actually gotten the runthrough of what would happen, you had gotten just enough time to freshen up after training before being pushed into a room full of cameras and bright lights.

“I’m as clueless as you are”

Alessia’s response gathers a large bout of laughter from everyone in the cramped room. Suddenly someone from behind the cameras walks out and puts a bowl filled with paper bits in it before you. The same person retreats back to their place behind the camera and starts explaining the reasoning behind you being called to the room.

“Today, you and Alessia will be reading thirst tweets. You two were the ones with the most thirst tweets, that’s why you’re here.”

Both you and the girl beside you let out loud chuckles at the reasoning behind the choice of players for the video before you nod your head and gesture for Alessia to start. She reaches out and sticks her manicured hands into the bowl, mixing them around before picking one and bringing it to her line of sight. She opens it and makes sure that you can’t see what is written on the small piece of paper after you try to peek over her shoulder.

“Oh this is a good one, ‘This is my official campaign for Lessi Russo to play Barbie in the upcoming 2023 live action movie, (with Y/n portraying Ken of course like the simp they are)’”

A jokingly offended gasp escapes your mouth at the insinuation that you’re a simp, it’s jokingly because everyone in the woso community knew that you were the biggest simp of all for your girlfriend.

“Y’know what? I’ll second that, Less would be an amazing Barbie ‘cause she’s such a doll” You’re unable to keep the teasing smirk off your face when you use the old fashioned nickname that you know she loves so much.

Alessia hides her blushing face behind her hands and you turn back to the cameras, teasing smile still situated firmly on your own face before you reach out and pick which thirst tweet would be read up next. Replicating Alessia’s earlier action you unfold the paper before reading what was thought out and later typed.

“‘I can’t explain it but Lessi and Y/n/n just give off strawberry raspberry vibes. someone please tell me that I’m not delusional’” You look to your side to capture Alessia’s reaction, waiting for her response to the statement.

“That’s very true” Her words are spoken through her signature beaming smile, happy that someone’s managed to get an accurate description of your relationship and dynamic.

“Yeah I agree. You’re definitely strawberry though.” You throw each other knowing looks, knowing Alessia’s pure love for strawberries, an affection that nearly exceeds her love for you. “Alright, moving on. None of these have really been thirsty.”

Just as you say that Alessia’s aquamarine eyes scan the next statement and you see how her jaw quite literally drops open. You lean forward and put your forearms on your knees while clasping your hands together in front of you, fixing her with an expectant expression.

“‘I’d give my soul, my body and entire family for a chance at a date with y/n y/l/n’, well tough luck there mate they already have someone to take them on dates.” Crumbling up the paper between her slender fingers before tossing it to the side and out of sight, the vein at the side of her neck popping out slightly.

Deciding that this is the perfect time for a bit of teasing, you lift your hand up to her height of her neck and poke the vein softly. You feel goosebumps rising beneath your fingers before you retract them and say,

“No need for jealousy honey, you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love.”

The clearing of a throat snaps you out of the moment with your girlfriend, you repeat the action and clear your own throat of any lingering embarrassment of being caught distracted so easily. Making eye contact with the camera, you use the awkwardness to your advantage as you read the next quote pausing where needed.

“‘if looking good was a crime, alessia russo would be serving an infinite amount of life sentences for being the most gorgeous person in the universe’, that’s really cute just like you.” The compliment reaches a long way as Alessia once again finds herself adorning a deep, dark red color on her cheeks. She lets out a nervous chuckle realizing there were only a few tweets left in the small see through bowl.

“Okay, two left, ‘lessi and y/n’s relationship is literally my religion amen’, yeah this one’s pretty straight forward.” It is your time to feel the heat rising in your cheeks when Alessia sends an ungodly wink towards you. Feeling the need to collect yourself, the witty response atop your tongue comes out at the speed of light.

“The way I worship you should be considered religious”

More than a few eyebrows raise at your innuendo, waiting for your brain to catch up with your mouth. When it finally does, your hand covers your mouth to keep the laughter bubbling up in your chest from escaping, and you feel a weak slap on your shoulder coming from the girl beside you.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Right the last tweet states ‘Alessia Russo’s thighs are to die for’”, you cut yourself off by saying, “or between” before continuing reading the quote off the paper while Alessia slaps your shoulder again a bit harder this time. “‘they are the best thing to ever grace my vision’, wow, yes.”

“Cut” Is yelled out as the crew prepares to do the outro, all running around as they fix the lighting and check the lenses for invisible dust. Looking down you see another abandoned chunk of paper.

“Ey we missed one, should we just read it during the outro?”

United’s social media manager nods and you pick up the paper, holding it close to your heart as if protecting it from Alessia’s piercing eyes.

“Starting in 3…2…1. Go”

“We have one more to read”, pulling it away from your chest and opening it a blush coating your cheeks at the words you’ve imagined yourself asking her for a while, “‘alessia mia teresa russo, will you marry me?’ included the entire name, huh”

You’re too flustered to do the outro, so Alessia does it pretty much alone. Exiting the room, all you can think about is the velvet box currently hiding at the bottom of your kitbag.

—

Walking into training a few weeks later you immediately realize what has happened when Millie and Tooney look up with teasing smiles on their faces. You let out a sigh before turning and glancing at your now fiancée, wondering how long it would take them to realize the new piece of jewelry resting on her left ring finger. The band was elegant with a small aquamarine stone inspired by her magnificent eyes and small numbers etched into the inside of the ring representing the day you had met. You had a matching band on yours, Alessia revealing her plans to propose right after she had accepted your invitation to marry her under the early stars and the setting sun just off the coast of Sicily.

You see Ona’s jaw drop open, obviously having noticed the rings and she slaps Lucia’s arm rapidly making her look in your direction and notice the same thing she has.

Continuing her teasing Ella jokingly pops the question like you had done in the video.

“Alessia Mia Teresa Russo, will you marry me?”

Alessia responds by lifting her hand up, showing off the elegant ring glittering in the sunlight.

“I’m sorry Tooney, you’re a couple weeks late I’ve already been asked.”

Loud screams fill the training grounds as most of the girls flock around Alessia, desperate to see the ring now adorning her finger. The rest walk over to you and clap you on the back. Countless questions are asked, ranging from how you asked to when the wedding would be and if they were invited.

Everyone eventually leaves you two to bask in the newly engaged bubble, but not before you get threatened to never even think as much as a bad thought about Alessia for the rest of your life, not that you ever had before. Tooney’s threat brings you back to when you first started dating and she threatened you.

Towards the end of training, a muttered sentence coming from Millie leaves you in stitches,

“I guess pretty girls are doomed to a life sentence either way”

The quote is so appreciated that you use it in the ending of your vows months later,

“Standing here now, I have the best life sentence in front of me that has ever been handed out and I hope you agree. I now realize that marrying you has always been inevitable, a question of when rather than if. Because a life without you is a life not worth living. My love for you is one that is immeasurable, greater than the distance from the farthest end of the universe to the nearest. I’ll love you ‘til my last breath, and in any life that might come after this one.”

Y'all are really getting spoiled, 3 fics in the span of 1 week

hiii, how about a headcanon of reader, sarah and joel painting the house or redecorating sarah's bedroom now that reader is married to joel, AND MAYBE IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT SARAH CALLS READER MOM by accident???? and reader and joel cry?? idk 😭😭 I know it is much but I can not stop thinking of being a wife to joel and have a family with him😭😭

No outbreak!Joel Miller x f!reader

A/N: this is too beautiful anon, I loved this request ❤️

• Sarah had been begging Joel to redecorate her bedroom since the two of you got engaged and though you were excited to help them, Joel always seemed to come up with an excuse not to do it

• one month he said he didn't have enough money to buy the paint and the other materials to do it and he absolutely refused your offer of helping him pay for it

• the next month he told her you two were too busy with the upcoming wedding and the three of you wouldn't have enough time to finish it

• and the other month he said you wouldn't be able to do it because of your honeymoon, which was kind of true, but it was during the wedding you found out the real reason why he was postponing doing the redecoration

• at Sarah's refusal to wear the pink dress full of flowers her grandma - your mother-in-law had bought her because it was too childish and settling for another dress that wasn't so pink she picked with your help, you could see in Joel's eyes the melancholy of his little girl growing up

• she used to love pink, flowery dress, just as she used to love the pink walls of her room her dad painted when she was just a baby and now the walls were about to go, just like the bunch of dolls she got over the years

• you felt sad for Joel, you knew how strong his bond with his daughter was and how close they were, but you also felt sorry for Sarah, she was growing up and she should be able to enjoy the new phases of her life

• so as soon as you returned from your honeymoon, you sat down with Sarah and took notes of everything she wanted to get it done with her bedroom and then you drove her to the store, letting her pick everything she wanted

• you had saved some money and you thought it would be a nice way of spending it, she would be happy and Joel would have to accept it one way or the other

• once you got home with the new paint, curtains, bedspread and carton boxes to store everything she didn't want anymore, he widened his eyes at the surprise of seeing you two with the new stuff

• he was chewing on a sandwich so you sat next to him and asked Sarah to begin gathering the things she would like to donate, which she quickly went to do it and you took Joel's hand

"You know she'll forever be your little girl, right? No matter if her walls aren't pink anymore or if the barbies are gone, she'll always be your daughter and love you, just as you love her"

• a blush spread through his face as you said those things, he swallowed his sandwich wanting to say something but you just shook your head

"besides, think of all the lucky little girls that are going to be able to play with Sarah's old dolls, she's doing something really nice for them and she learned that from you... You know, how to be kind. Also, she told me she doesn't want pink on the walls because it hurts her eyes when she's reading"

• that was partially a lie, Sarah was going to help other kids by donating her old toys but she hadn't said anything about the wall colors, but judging by the way his eyes softened when you justified why she was leaving behind a part of her childhood, you knew you'd said the right thing

• so once Joel was done eating, the three of you changed into older clothes and after a painful period of dragging around furniture, you began painting the walls

• you didn't actually know how to do it, but as soon as Joel showed you how it was done, you got the hang of it, plus it ended up being a lot more fun than you had expected

• turns out Joel got really excited about the fact he was spending time with his daughter and that made him realize that was much more important than the color of her walls

• and the happiness in her face was just beautiful, she was excited and telling you about her plans of decorating, asking for your opinion and advices

• you were more than happy to help her and give your thoughts, seeing she really valued and appreciated them

• it took the three of you most of the day to get her bedroom done, but once you finally got the decoration part - the one she was more excited about - Joel decided to help

"so are you putting your books or your funkos on this shelf?"

"I don't know dad, let me ask what mom thin- I mean, Y/N"

• Sarah felt embarrassed at her mistake and looked at you with widened eyes, not sure what to say, if she should apologize to you or what, she hoped you wouldn't think it was weird

• you turned to her with a gentle smile and took a step closer, brushing your fingers through her soft cheeks and wrapped your arms around her smaller frame

"you can call me mom if you want, I would be very happy and lucky to have you as my daughter"

• you sniffed softly, your eyes watery at the emotion of hearing such beautiful words from her

• Joel also felt very emotional and wrapped the two of you into his warm tight embrace, he had tears in his eyes he wanted to hide, he really loved hearing his daughter call you mom, because you'd been acting like one ever since you walked into their lives and he knew you were just perfect at it

"Alright mom..."

• Sarah shyly dried her own tears and chuckled a little shy, she looked at you and gave you another tight hug

"Where should I put my books?"

I hate the Xander-Willow cheating plot line in season 3 as much as anyone, but I can’t help but feel like it also makes complete sense.

Xander and Willow (and Jesse, forever ignored by the narrative) were friends long before Buffy showed up in Sunnydale. Willow talks about how they haven’t always been as close in The Pack, but they have been a distinct and present part of each other’s lives since close to when they began forming memories they would take to adulthood. Xander stole Willow’s Barbie when they were five. Xander thought Willow set a fire to get him fire trucks when he turned seven. These are people who were as enmeshed in each other’s lives as people can be. And they both feel it slipping away. I think Xander is conscious of it in a way Willow isn’t, what with his “who am I going to call every night, and talk about what we did all day” revelation in Becoming. Willow, his Willow, wakes up and calls for Oz.

And Willow? She gets mad Xander is with Cordelia, and a large part of it is her crush and a part of it is their We Hate Cordelia Club. But part of it is, I think, the fact that they are no longer the people who call each other every night to talk about what they did all day. They used to be the kind of inseparable friends who had (almost) no secrets between them, crushes and abuse not withstanding. And now, there is a space between them. And that space comes from growing up, but I can see where growing up in this way, for these two characters in particular, is painful. And that particular pain of this particular loss can be interpreted by teenagers as romantic affection.

I ache for you now that you’re not around - it must be love. I see you in formalware, and I remember you’re going to be with someone who isn’t me. The space that used to be mine now belongs to that someone else. And instead of recognizing it as the normal pangs when your relationship is no longer the *most* important, Xander and Willow assume it’s attraction.

It also explains how (and why) their dalliance disappears the second they’re caught. Because they love each other, and they want that closeness back; but the loss of their partners - the people they actually romantically love - throws those feelings into sharp relief. They know they don’t love each other in the way they assumed, but only when it’s too late (for Xander, anyway).

And I hate to bring it back to their families, but I do think a huge part of what makes Willow “Willow”, and Xander “Xander”, and Willow and Xander a “Willow and Xander” is the fact that Willow is neglected by her parents and Xander is abused by his. It must be that much more frightening to feel like you’re losing the person who loves you unconditionally, who pays attention to you, who stands up for you and checks on you and constantly makes space for you in their life. Xander depends on Willow’s care, and Willow depends on Xander’s attention and protection. Losing that, for these potentially ephemeral high school relationships, would be it’s own kind of horror.

Like I said, I do hate this development, and I do think there are more reasons than just the above (Willow has wanted Xander for so long; Willow has felt overlooked for the Cordelias (and Buffys) of the world and now she is being chosen; Xander is jealous of Oz and possessive of Willow). But the above makes sense to me, character-wise. It’s not what I would have done to make room for Cordelia to leave, but it’s not outside the bounds of who Xander and Willow are, in these moments.

#buffy the vampire slayer #willow rosenberg #xander harris #btvs meta #I’ve seen this critiqued since it aired but it has always angered and made sense to me in equal measure

It's finally time for the February summary!

And you NEVER guess who won again!

Richarlyson

With 12/58 polls won (20%!!!) and another win under his belt, it's safe to say I'm scared of him. Richarlyson was voted most likely to:

What perfect results for Tubbo's princess!

I was actually surprised to see Dapper in 3rd this month! With a score of 9/58 polls won, she's certainly climbed the ranks this time! Dapper has been voted most likely to:

Be really into bugs

Be able to name every local animal species by name

Perform surgeries on his stuffed animals

Hyperfixate on 'Digimon: Digital Monsters'

Climb a tree and get stuck

Have a comfort blanket that's probably falling apart

Have a pocket full of rocks by the end of the day

Sit on the floor to watch TV

Only sleep in a onesie

Wear velcro shoes because Pepito can't tie Pepito's laces

Now is when the point drop off happens. Coming in at 5/58 polls, Tallulah has been voted most likely to:

Eat flowers and judge them by color and taste

Make Valentine's day cards for everyone on the island

Write a musical for her siblings to play in

Cut her own hair

Be the teacher's pet

I'm glad to see her higher up on the list this month! I can't wait to see if her model gets redesigned, I'm confident it will look awesome.

Chayanne

Coming in just under his sister with 4/58 polls, Chayanne has been voted most likely to:

Be concerningly excited to go fishing

Read Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War'

Play the drums

Make a pillow fort to comfort a sibling after a nightmare

He may have come in lower this month, but I'm sure he's happy his sister is getting the attention.

Ramón

These next three are tied, with 3/58 polls won! Ramón has been voted most likely to:

Get really into Hide and Seek

Be on tech for Tallulah's musical

Join Richas in the plot of 'The Parent Trap'

Leonarda

With 3/58, Leonarda has been voted most likely to:

Be raised by Wolves

Wear Heelies

Empanada

Now the last with 3/58, Empanada has been voted most likely to:

Sew cool outfits for her siblings

Exclusively eat poptarts in the morning

Have a sugar crash from all of the Valentine's day candy

I'm noticing a theme with those three.

Pomme & Chunsik

Unfortunately, Pomme and Chunsik did not win any polls in February. While Chunsik is the newcomer, Pomme hasn't won a poll yet! Although after that wonderful Paintball poll, I imagine that will change for March! Better luck next time, my complimentary-colored eggs.

"I'll also say that this is sometimes supported by the trans man creators, like Jammidoger. It's not just the trans women, it's not just the essayists […]" & "you should feel gender affirmed from the violence done to you because that's just how men are actually".

Thing is, until I found trans men/masc people talking about transmisandry/transandrophobia online, every time I tried interacting with my local trans community, especially with other trans men/masc people, has included them all parroting or agreeing with the above sentiments, and it's why I stopped going to my local support group or interacting with them at all. Hearing those things from some well-known and respected trans women and men in our local community and getting pushback when I wanted to talk about trans masc issues, was just so disappointing.

Which is why I'm happy Jessie made that video and came to the conclusion she did. I left a comment just about my opinion on the matter, that while yes I've felt left out on her videos and wish she included our perspective more often, I also remind myself that she and her co-writer are both trans femme. So I don't take it as intentionally or even unintentionally leaving us out, it's a side effect of people writing what they know, however, that's exactly why I watch her, to get a better perspective for myself of trans women/femme issues.

But there were also lots of trans men and masc people in the comments who said a lot more about what our issues are and the harm it does to exclude us, how we do face similar or even the same kind of violence for the same reasons as trans women and femme people, and that often, her exclusion of us in her videos (especially the Barbie one) is adding onto the already exhaustive history of transandrophobia from within the trans community. While I've not changed or added to my comment, in the face of those others, it felt lacking, but I'm also really kinda exhausted at this point, since I've been fighting against biphobia from both cishet and other queer people most of my life now, so in the face of transandrophobia, I just have no more fight in me and have resorted to elevating the voices of others who do.

Sorry for the rant, you don't have to respond, I guess I just wanted to say thank you for getting a ball rolling and here's hoping it goes farther than other attempts before this.

Hey! I think I actually saw your comment, I thought about it a lot too which is is cool that it's bringing me full circle here but I do also agree in part that because they are trans femmes their thoughts and opinions are bound to be almost exclusively from their perspective. I do also watch for that perspective in part as well, but I feel that bigger trans creators who talk about trans topics, need to remember that there isn't just that one kind.

They have the opportunity to make a difference, to give others a voice, a voice which severely lacking in these spaces. I'm not going to wholesale blame them for perpetuating transandrophobia or anything, but if you're making a video on trans experiences and then leave out a crucial part of that experience, or at worse, uncritically repeat those same ideas as a bigger creator with lots of followers, it can have a serious negative impact on members of that groups and reinforces it, transandrophobia. This reminds me of the video that Abigail Thorne did called Beauty, Food, Mind. A lot of that video is her talking about how fatphobia affects HER, a thin beautiful actress, and doesn't really even mention much of fat struggles, or get fat perspectives, and she gained a lot of criticism within the fat youtube community for it because she had an opportunity and the didn't take it, making fatphobia only about thin people instead. I will be honest, I haven't had much of an irl queer community, I have my friends and I have gone out and interacted, but I'm disabled, and poor. I don't have the chance to go to any sort of community events or anything other than maybe a drag show every now and again especially here were I live now, I moved and am back in my home state, so it does make me nervous to even seek out and find a local community. online it's easier to brush off that kind of thing, not being considered or being talked down to or ignored, and tbh gaslit, but in real life? In my own home area, in my real domain?

I'm not sure I'd know how to cope with that rn, especially because I too have had some, let's just say not great experiences with in few irl trans people semi community type groups.

Lots of people are hurting and they take it out on each other, so I feel like I have to put on a persona, or be more femme to even be taken seriously and that sucks. So yeah, it's a breath of fresh air to be able to talk about transandrophobia online with other men and I'm happy happy happy we have this, but It is disappointing and I think it shows historically why trans men have tended to keep to ourselves.

Alright, for some reason I actually typed an indepth review of Unhappy Campers because I didn't really have much else to do, so with that out of the way let's get started with the positives!

The Positives

Alright so now that the positives are out of the way let's get started with the negatives!

The Negatives

The Characters

The characters in this episode were all just infuriatingly insufferable to watch throughout the episode or were just painfully underwhelming. I'm gonna start off with the character I disliked the most in this episode and that's Moxxie.

Moxxie, as I said in a previous post, was honestly stupid, extremely sensitive, and legit wanted the attention of everyone in this episode. They had the clear opportunity to just solve the case and get it done, but Moxxie wants to roleplay with literal kids, wants to be well known, and use his solo mission as some detective game for some fucking reason. He gets mad at Millie just because she's getting the attention he wants where tf did this toxic behavior come from exactly? Moxxie is a hypocrite in this episode and Millie was 100% in the right to tell him off.

Oh yeah and I almost forgot, they made Moxxie physically weak again. Which I gotta ask why was he struggling against Barbie Wire and how tf did he not kill the human when he was fully capable of fighting and killing demons twice his size just an episode ago? Doesn't seem consistent now, does it?

Not to mention the writers did another "Moxxie gains confidence arc" AGAIN. Millie tells him to "play to his strengths" literally giving him the same damn advice she gave him IN HARVEST MOON it's just worded differently.

And for some reason, Moxxie is like a Blitzo dickrider in this episode. Why is Moxxie ecstatic when Blitzo gave him the solo mission? Why was Moxxie down in the dumps when Blitzo called him a disappointment? Moxxie in Season 1 wouldn't take that shit, what the hell happened? They made one of the more sufferable characters in Helluva Boss so insufferable.

Now onto Millie and this is going to be short. I am glad that Millie's getting a lot of screentime but this entire revelation where she likes being loved and respected because of her physical capabilities comes completely out of nowhere.

Millie has always been respected for her physical strength especially by Moxxie, but she wasn't this fixated on it. Where did this come from? Why is it that she's obsessed with fame over her physical capabilities? And what's even worse is that her fans don't even like Millie for her personality that much they mainly like her because of her looks and strength. It had no build up and Millie wasn't even affected in the slightest when all of that reputation she garnered was instantly flushed down the drain. It was just meaningless. Now that I think about it, I would appreciate the character arc more if it had some form of build up and Millie would actually reflect and talk about it later on. But I know she probably won't.

Now onto fucking Barbie Wire. Her screentime in this episode is 3 minutes and 16 seconds and the entire episode is 20 minutes and 18 seconds long excluding the credits. So there was more screentime of Blitzo and everyone he confronts MENTIONING her than there was actually showcasing her.

Barbie Wire is literally Blitzo but female design wise and disguise wise..she just looks like a human version of Velvette. Tell me you can't design characters without telling me you can't design characters, this is the second new character in a row that shares a physical similarity to a previously made character. I'd get why she looks exactly likes Blitzo but having her human form be extremely similar to Velvette's actual design is lazy as hell.

Barbie Wire is also a groomer too. I know that the counselor is technically an adult, but Barbie Wire is still using her body to manipulate him and adults are vulnerable to grooming. Plus it's still weird to me due to the age gape, Barbie Wire is in her 30s and the counselor is 18 to 19 years old. I bet you're all wondering how I got this info too, well Viv made a tweet about it. It wasn't stated in the episode that the person Moxxie and Millie were trying to kill was barely an adult leading many people to believe that Barbie Wire was a...cupcake eater.

Barbie Wire is revealed to hate Blitzo, do we know why? No, we do not and for some reason the writers decided to keep this part ambiguous. When we first saw Verosika Mayday at least it was revealed that she had a reason to hate Blitzo but we don't get that with Barbie Wire for some fucking reason. Overall Barbie Wire is underwhelming but also infuriating, I honestly thought that I could manage to like her going in this episode but it just couldn't work no matter how hard I tried. So we have to wait another couple of months or at most years for Barbie Wire to show up again so then we'd fully know why she hates Blitzo from her perspective.

Blitzo was honestly the least sufferable character mainly because he didn't have much screentime, I was honestly so happy. But then I realized why is it that Blitzo now wants to see Barbie Wire? The nurse over at the rehab told Blitzo that Barbie Wire checked out of rehab months ago, so why is it that Blitzo didn't visit her prior? He apparently wants to make amends and catch up to her but why? We're not given an explanation or even a reason. He wants to help Barbie Wire, why? How come he doesn't visit Fizzarolli or anyone else he had a past relationship with?

Blitzo complains to Barbie Wire for not keeping contact with him even though he had opportunities to actually talk to her. Then after he's confronted by Barbie Wire he immediately goes back to being regular old Blitzo. At least in Ozzie's Blitzo actually had some form of guilt, in this episode we don't see how Barbie Wire yelling at Blitzo even affected him all we see him do is just make the sad puppy eyes, that's it. What was the point in all of that if you're just gonna go back to the status quo? 💀

Anyway, somehow they managed to make all the characters bad or underwhelming. Idk how they achieved both with Barbie Wire, they need a medal for that one.

This episode is a waste of time

This episode in all honesty is a literal waste of time. Nothing has changed aside from the fact that Barbie Wire is out of rehab. You can skip this episode and miss nothing because this episode immediately goes back into the status quo regardless of all of the shit that happened. The only important thing in this episode is that Barbie Wire got out of rehab, but even then we'd know that information from a throwaway line. And what's even more frustrating is that this episode isn't a filler episode, it's a chronological episode with nothing that's relevant to the story.

More fucking questions

This episode as always raises a lot more questions than it does answers. With the main one being if Blitzo can find an Asmodean Crystal in a week then why does he even need the Grimoire? The Asmodean Crystal has more use to them regarding their business and actually gives them human forms. Next question is how come Barbie Wire didn't cover up her tattoos so nobody would find her? How did Blitzo recognize Barbie Wire in her human disguise instantly? Was the counselor aware that Barbie Wire was a demon the entire time? There's just so many questions but no canonical answers.

Too many plots

This episode juggles around three plots. Moxxie and Millie killing their target, Millie getting famous while Moxxie tries to get famous, and Blitzo finding Barbie Wire. This could've easily been split into two episodes have the Moxxie and Millie plot one episode, reveal that Barbie Wire is the one selling and smuggling the heroin then have the next episode dedicated to Blitzo finding Barbie Wire and trying to talk her out of selling drugs with Barbie Wire revealing why she doesn't like Blitzo throughout the episode.

But instead the episode just jumps from one scene to the next. Moxxie trying to get famous while also trying to go inside the shed, Millie loving her fame, and Blitzo trying to find Barbie Wire. It's especially apparent when Barbie Wire vs Blitzo and Moxxie is always halted to show Millie's fucking performance. Like holy fucking shit we don't need to see Millie perform, show the important fucking part.

Barbie Wire is confronted, cuts to Millie using her rizz, then it cuts back to Barbie Wire being confronted.

This is definitely an Adam Neylan episode because it's always the episodes he writes that has these amount of plots in one episode.

The..jokes

This is honestly the last thing I wanted to touch up on because the jokes in this episode are not even funny and honestly disturbing most of the time. I'll name the three worst ones.

The camp is called Camp Ivannakummore and it's a camp filled with preteens and children. Let that sink in.

Moxxie wants to be famous around kids and starts crying because he isn't even though he's in his 30s. I'm pretty sure that they were doing the "high school nerd trying to be famous" trope, but it doesn't work because Moxxie isn't in the same fucking age range as these kids. It's like if an adult disguised as a teenager tries to go back into their peak high school years by going into some random high school and starts doing some fucking musical.

This is like the worst joke in this episode by far. Fornication between demons disguised as minors that are also disguised as siblings in front of a crap ton of other minors. What is this, Rick and Morty? Did Dan Harmon write this joke?

Conclusion

This episode in my opinion is the worst episode to me. The characters weren't likable or just flat-out boring, there were too many plots, and even then it led to nothing in the future, none of the jokes made me laugh or even chuckle, and it was honestly very painful just dragging myself through this episode. Unhappy Campers has all the worst aspects of Helluva Boss in the span of 21 minutes. And it was just very very painful to even sit through. I honestly don't think I would've missed anything if I didn't watch this episode because that's what it feels like, a nothing episode that managed to make me mad.

Anyway, thank you all for reading and I hope you all have a nice day! ❤️

more than friends

🌸 pt 3 (final part) of you are kenough 🌸

paring: ken x reader

summary: ken and barbie had planned for a fun day out, but stressful interruptions will lead to confessions..

warnings: reader gets catcalled/hit on, little car crash (no one is hurt) ken is a sweetie pie

word count: 1.7k

authors note: here’s part 3! so so sorry for the long wait i’ve been super busy lately but i hope yall like it 🙏 also those who sent in requests I DO SEE THEM and i will get to them as soon as i can. which may be awhile but i will get to them pinky swear 🤙

It was once again another normal day in Barbieland. It had been a few weeks now since that party at the beach, and you and Ken had been getting closer ever since.

Maybe a bit too close..

Whatever. It wasn’t like you had planned to develop a not-so-little crush on him. Besides, you two were friends! That was enough.

Or maybe not..

You shake your head in protest, trying to silence the thoughts inside. Today was going to be fun, and your stupid newfound feelings for him weren’t going to get in the way of that.

You walk over to your pink vanity, smoothing out your hair and slipping on a cute sundress.

You knew you’d never actually admit your feelings towards Ken. However affectionate he was towards you, you knew he would only ever see you as a friend. After all - though it hadn’t been reciprocated - the only Barbie he ever had eyes for was Blondie.

But she was gone now..

You snap out of your thoughts once more, feeling a sort of guilt.

You can’t think these things! Today is supposed to be fun. Innocent. Just having a good time. With your friend.

Today you and Ken had planned to get ice cream together, and then head back to the dreamhouse for a fun movie night. You had been anxiously awaiting it since the last time you had seen Ken.

Which was yesterday.

But hey, could anyone blame you?

You’re pacing around the room excitedly when you hear a voice from down below.

“Hey Barbie!”

You turn your head to find Ken looking up at you from down on the street, and the thumping of your heart intensifies even more.

“Hi Ken!”

Gracefully, you float down to the ground, maintaining your perfect appearance.

“You ready?” he asks excitedly, and you nod.

“Mhm! We’ll take the car.”

“Really?!”

“Mhm.”

Ken opens the car door for you like the gentleman he is, then walks around and gets in the passenger’s side. You pull out of the driveway, and on the way to the ice cream shop, you turn to notice Ken staring at you.

“What is it?” You laugh.

“Oh, nothing,” he replies, smiling to himself.

You believed him, but the attention made your stomach churn. He couldn’t have been staring at you because - no! That was impossible. Which means he must have been staring at you for some other reason - possibly not a good one. You frantically look into the rearview mirror, checking for any imperfections. Was there something stuck in your teeth? Was your hair out of place? Why had he been staring like that? It must’ve been something. It was then when you heard Ken yell.

“Barbie, look out!”

In your haze of insecurity you had taken your eyes off the road for too long, swerving off the street and into a nearby fire hydrant.

“Ohh..” you groan, covering your face with your hands. You’re so embarrassed, you want to cry.

“Hey, Barbie, it’s okay..” Ken tries to console you.

“Mmm..” you cry into your hands, while fireman and mechanic Barbie arrive on the scene trying to clean up your mess.

“Aww, Barbie, don’t cry!” Mechanic Barbie says. “It’s really no biggie!”

“Yeah!” Fireman Barbie adds.

“See?” Ken smiles sympathetically. “It’s okay.”

“Are either of you hurt? Should I call for Doctor Barbie?” Fireman Barbie asks.

“No, we’re alright, thanks,” Ken replies, while you wipe tears from your eyes.

“Okay, good. Do you guys need a ride?” Says Mechanic Barbie, and Ken looks at you waiting for your answer.

“Uh .. that’s ok, we’ll walk, if that’s alright with you, Ken,” you sniffle.

“Sure is,” he smiles, before abruptly getting out of the car and walking around to the driver’s side, and holding out his hand to you.

You look up at him with nervous eyes, taking his hand and opening the car door. You step out, and he hugs you.

“I’m sorry,” you sob. “Today was supposed to be fun, and I ruined it!”

“You haven’t ruined anything, Barbie. C’mon, let’s get to that ice cream shop,” Ken comforts.

“Don’t worry Barbie, we’ll have the car fixed up and back at your dreamhouse by the end of the day,” Mechanic Barbie says reassuringly.

“Thanks,” you sniffle, your face bearing a small smile.

Ken gently motions for the two of you to get going, and you follow, walking down the Barbieland boardwalk. You arrive at the ice cream shop and order. Ken gets Cotton Candy flavored, and you pick out your favorite flavor.

You’re sitting at a picnic table outside the shop, peacefully enjoying your ice cream when you look up to see Ken giving you that stare again. You’re about to say something about it when suddenly you hear a voice from behind you.

“Lookin good, Barbie!”

You turn around to see enemy Ken, sitting a few tables away, looking at you with a smirk that was far from polite and a gaze that made you shiver with anxiety. Jesus Christ, could this day get any worse? You roll your eyes, ignoring him, and turning back around to face your Ken, you find him glaring at the other.

“I said, looking good, Bar-“

You hold your breath, and Ken stands up.

“Back off, Ken! Or I’ll beach you off!”

You look up at him in both shock and admiration, and the other Ken goes quiet.

“Come on, Barbie,” Ken says gruffly, and you follow. Walking back to your dreamhouse, neither of you say a word. Ken maintained an angry frown the entire walk, and you looked down at your feet sadly, fearing you had done something to cause Ken’s demeanor. Had you done something wrong? Was he mad you didn’t just deal with Ken yourself? Was it the car? It felt like you had been messing up everything today. It’d be no wonder if he was angry with you.

You arrive at home and he regains a little bit of his happy energy, or Kenergy, as he had lately been calling it. But, he still seemed off, and sitting down on your couch, there is still a bit of an uncomfortable tension between you two.

Before your movie, Ken asked if you wanted to make some popcorn, and with your approval got up to do so. When he returned, you couldn’t help but ask.

“Ken?”

“Yes?”

“Did I do something wrong?” you ask somberly. You watch as his eyes fill with sadness and care.

“What? No, Barbie, why would you think that?” He softly asks.

“You just seemed pretty angry after what happened with Ken, and I mean, I get it, I already screwed up crashing the car, and you shouldn’t have to fight my battles for me-“

“Barbie. You did nothing wrong. I’m sorry I made you think so. You’re right, I was angry. I am angry, but not at you. Never at you.”

You blush at his sweetness, and he continues.

“Listen, I was never mad about the car or anything else you did. When Ken did what he did, it just .. it really.. it pissed me off!”

“Ken!” You giggle.

“Sorry,” he smiles softly, before regaining his frown. “Listen Barbie, you don’t.. you don’t deserve to be treated like that. And I know, who am I to talk, I’m no better-“

“Ken. You are. You are better.”

“Thanks, Barbie.”

The two of you sit there quietly for a minute, before you hear a mumble of something come from him.

“You know, it doesn’t help that I..”

He instantly regretted even letting that small bit of info come out of his mouth, praying you hadn’t heard him, but you must have.

“You.. you what, Ken?” you almost whisper.

“N-nothing,” he says, turning away from you.

“No, tell me!”

“Never mind, it doesn’t matter.”

“Yes it does.”

He puts his face in his hands and lets out a sigh.

“Barbie..” he says nervously.

“What is it. Please, you’re freaking me out!”

“Barbie.. I don’t, I don’t know how to say this.”

“Just try your best,” you say, your face genuine.

Another sigh.

“Barbie.. you know about how I used to be with Barbie, right?”

“Of course,” you swallow, trying to hide your bitterness. “Everyone knows that.” You knew what he was about to say, that he missed her, that he had simply been using you as a substitute after she left, that he-

“When I was with her.. I always felt like..”

“Like what, Ken?” your voice shakes.

“Like.. I was with her, just because I had to be. Like I just.. needed her. But not.. wanted? I don’t know. It doesn’t make sense. Whenever I was with her.. I was just kind of there. I don’t know. I felt like I was there just to make her happy, and not really myself. I’m not sure I ever really needed her, I just needed her to.. need me. Does that make more sense? I don’t know..” he shakes his head.

“I think so,” you say quietly.

“With you.. it’s.. it’s..”

You look up at him, confused.

“It’s different.”

“What do you mean, different?”

“It’s just,” he continues. “With you I don’t feel like I need to do anything. I can just enjoy being with you. I’m not just doing it to do it. I do it, because it makes me happy. And.. I just hope.. it makes you happy too?”

“Of course it does,” you laugh sweetly.

“Good,” he laughs. “I guess what I’m trying to say is..”

“What, Ken?”

His voice goes quiet, he’s mumbling and you can barely make out what he’s saying. “I think.. I think I..”

“You think you what, Ken?”

“I think I..”

“I think I like you.”

It’s so quiet you can barely make it out, but you do.

“You like me?”

“Mhm,” he nods.

“Like.. as more than friends?” you ask, bewildered.

“Yeah.”

You process his words and suddenly everything clicks into place. The kind words, the lingering stares and angry protectiveness.

“Look, I totally get if you don’t feel the same way, especially after everything I did-“

“Ken.”

“Yeah?”

“I like you too.”

“You.. you do?”

“Mhm.” You cup his face in your hands and give him a quick peck on the lips, and he blushes furiously.

For a moment the two of you sit there, smiling and content, before he asks,

“Soo.. does this make us boyfriend and girlfriend now?”

“I think it does,” you smile.

“Cool.”

One more request/ask this time for aiekoy 🍑/🐻/🧡 could you write something on if baby and carm would get together if Mikey were still alive? Or just if they would cross paths and still never say anything? If you’re up to it if not no biggie- again congrats on 1k!🥳

ohhh i love this so much, giggling because i get to play with aiekoy cannon and i am living for it. gonna be honest i don’t even remember writing most of this but it is chaotic and i actually kinda love it.

this was going in so many different directions before this became my final thoughts, thank you for requesting and please enjoy!! 🫶🏽

warning(s): addiction | violence |

mikey lives, does barby?

in this scenario the only ‘aiekoy’ chapters that would still be canon are ch. 1-3, interlude 0-1 and any pre-aiekoy lore that i may not have published yet 🫣.

and for the sake of consistency, we’re throwing all ‘the bear’ canon out the window!

but now is where we start to change things, so we’ll say baby moves back to Chicago beginning of 2019 Christmas showed you just how much you missed being around your surrogate family and so we kiss the west coast goodbye.

and with baby back in town the trio (baby/nat/richie) with all the time they spend around mikey begin to realize like he needs serious help. his deterioration is so clear to anyone who looks at him that if things don’t change soon we all know what’s gonna happen.

it's a bit of back and forth cause mikey is stubborn as hell and he definitely doesn’t take kindly to his addiction being called out. man is feeling cornered right now.

i don’t think mikey would just agree to rehab out of nowhere, growing up as the man of the house i think he definitely has some underlying issues with toxic masculinity.

something big would have to happen for him to see the error of his ways like baby finding him just strung out in his office at the beef pills scattered everywhere and of course, it hurts you to see him this way.

so you begin like trying to dispose of the pills, searching his office for anything more and lecturing him because you love him ya know. obviously reasoning with an addict hardly if ever works.

sadly to say i think it would get a bit physically violent like mikey kind of just lashes out just like grips baby by the arms, and pins you to the wall so hard it alerts the staff.

and it's an ugly scene as richie pulls him off of you. you’re just standing there glued to the wall scared shitless as richie holds himself back from beating the shit out of mikey.

nat gets wind of the whole situation i feel like tina would definitely call her because wtf is going on with mikey?

a few weeks later baby’s distant with mikey, richie is genuinely physically disgusted anytime he’s around his best friend, and nat bless her heart is just trying to keep the family together. she explains what happened to mikey between the two of you because his memory is spotty and the man just breaks down like heaving sobs as he asks nat to help him get better.

they decide a long-term stint in rehab might work best, considering how long he’s been using and the toll his psychological state has taken we’ll say a 6 month program that as it progresses the whole gang will be involved in family counseling sessions.

baby and richie obviously go with nat to drop mikey off setting aside their issues with him (you obviously haven’t forgiven his transgression yet but you want to be there for him) and the whole thing is so emotional i’m talking group hug full of sobs and snot this shit is heartbreaking. but mikey’s adamant that he wants the help.

baby definitely thinks someone should tell carmy but both richie and nat are iffy about it and they table that conversation for the time being.

fast forward a few months mikey is in rehab detoxing and participating in counseling sessions, they aren’t allowed to contact him yet but they do get weekly updates on his well-being.

baby is in new york for work profiling executive chef alex johannes (he didn’t have a name in the show so now he does) about his work ethic and michelin stars or some shit.

he invites you to the restaurant hours before the dinner service so you can observe him and the kitchen during prep and this man is laying the charm on thick!

he’s definitely scummy and you’re genuinely fed up with him so you tell him you need to walk around to get a feel for the kitchen but you just want to be rid of him.

you’re doing your cute journalist thing taking notes, trying to talk to chefs about what the kitchen environment is like working under alex but these people are giving you nothing!

there’s a commotion at one of the prep stations and you’re obviously curious the whole kitchen is trying to pretend they aren’t watching this shit go down.

and you’re just listening to this poor chef get verbally abused as they’re working on their prep, jotting all this down in your little notepad.

but the sight of the chef slamming a cutting board against the counter has you flinching and you just can’t let that happen irritation radiating through you at this bully you’ve been assigned to profile.

you’ve seen enough stepping up to defend the poor chef with a few choice words to the older man ultimately getting in a verbal argument with him and being sent out of his kitchen, but not before he makes the poor chef join you, and whatever bravado you had to rip that asshole a new one is gone as carmen fucking berzatto begins walking in your direction shoving past you to get to the staff lounge.

what are the fucking odds that you end up at the same exact restaurant carmy works at after being ghosted by him again that one christmas. (I’d say they’re great since I’m writing this)

you’re standing there in shock for a minute before turning on your heel to find the man.

he’s pacing back and forth hand pressing into the space where his heart lay. as soon as he sees you he’s hurling questions your way; “what the fuck are you doing here?” “why the fuck couldn’t you just mind your business?” “he didn’t need your fucking help.” blah blah blah.

your anger from earlier is back and you’re just like alright bet “guess it’s still fuck me right carm?” grabbing your bag and getting the fuck outta dodge.

you don’t make it far before carmy finds you, the man doesn’t apologize but he asks you to stop by when he gets off.

you’re a loser for carm so you do. he’s takes you back to his place, it’s awkward as fuck but you finally give in and tell him about what’s going on in Chicago, mikey’s addiction, the “fight” you had with mikey at the beef, him being in rehab.

and carmy is surprised as fuck, to say the least, he tells you that he’s miserable in new york. feels like the restaurant might kill him before his anxiety ever could.

neither of you are sure how any of it happens but the next thing you know you’re naked under him giving into pent-up desires, promises whispered into each other’s skin.

you can’t stay in new york forever but the both of you decide it is for the best not to start anything with all the distance between you.

you try talking carmy into moving back to Chicago and homeboy actually gives it some thought.

after that the two of you are in constant contact like not a day goes by without a phone call or text.

you’re back in chicago mikey’s been doing good in rehab, the family counseling sessions are going well. next thing you know his 6 months are up and he’s out.

you talk carmy into visiting for a bit, he and mikey def have things to work out.

surprise surprise, COVID hits carmy gets stuck in Chicago (man is not complaining though if that means he gets to see you)

you get a roommate who doubles as a lover and everything goes from there!!!

a/n: reading this is so chaotic it actually made me giggle. on a serious note in no way am i saying all addicts are violent or have violent tendencies but from my experiences that has been the case. also i think canonically (7 fishes ep) that mikey did have violent tendencies whether it be the drugs or not.

Hazbin Hotel Classification AU: Itty Bitty Sinners as Caregivers/Littles PT 3: More detailed Character notes

VOX and Velvette and also Valentino

📺Vox: Flip

💗Velvette: Flip

🚬👅Valentino: Flip (not sure specific classification, but he does regress and will help take care of the other two)

💗Velvette as a Little: 💗

Flip! 50% Caregiver and 50% Little

Age: (1-6)

💗Bratty little alert! A precious little diva! 💗

💗Velvette always wants her hair done and to be dressed in very specific outfits she chooses. She'll cry if Vox doesn't do it right, and then Val needs to step in and do it because he actually knows how to do hair.

💗Velvette wants everything her way! No one else is in charge! She is! (She's not, but she can try)

💗Demanding! She wants cuddles? She gets cuddles, or she'll screm! (She has broken Vox's screen before due to her screaming so loudly.)

💗Velvette is very smart! And she's hurt when people don't take her suggestions seriously when she's big. That's why she's so demanding when she's small, she wants people to listen to her!

💗She perfers Vox when she's really little, but when she's older, she perfers Val.

Reasons:

Vox is softer and he's more protective and coddles her.

Valentino however is more willing to play fashion show and tea parties with her!

💗Favorite things to watch when little: Where in the world is Carmen Santiago, Ever After high, monster hugh, Dora the explorer, Fancy Nancy, Gabby's dollhouse, Tinker Bell movies, Barbie fashion fairytale, any Barbie movies, Elena of Avalor, Teenage mutant ninja turtles, and Coraline.

💗Velvette loves playing games on her phone! She's an iPad kid who always asks if an adult has games on their phone if hers is dead or taken away by Vox.

💗Vox has strict rules for Velvette, but Valentino lets her get away with everything!

💗She loves putting on a show for Vox and Val! Either fashion show, play, or concert! She's very talented!

💗She loves dressing up! She has a ton of costumes! She'll even ask Val to do her makeup so she'll look more like the characters.

💗Velvette loves to sing the songs from Six the Musical all the time. At this point, both Vox and Valentino know all the words... but they've never heard the actual musical.

💗Music needs to be playing for her at night, or she just won't sleep!

💗Velvette loves dolls! Barbies are okay, Ever After/ Monsters high dolls, strawberry shortcake, polly pocket exc.

💗Her favorite drink when little is Alicorn Milk and strawberry milk!

💗Favorite food is berries and (cream ha!) Yougurt.

💗Loves animal ears (headband), especially cat ones!

💗Loves giving her caregivers makeovers!

💗Designs her own little clothes when out of headspace. She has so many, she has her own little closet. 😍

💗Velvette curses when little... A lot. Valentino finds it hilarious while Vox tries to keep her from doing so.

💗Velvette needs to wear diapers and pull-ups sometimes, which is why she has designed some specifically for her younger self that have adorable patterns on them 💕

💗She's very energetic as an older little! She runs around and jumps on the furniture because she's just full of crazy energy.

💗She'll talk everyone's ears off. She was discouraged when she was a child for this, but Val and Vox don't mind it and encourage her to talk as much as she likes.

💗She's very loud!!!! She's finally allowed and takes advantage of that!

~~~~~Nicknames:~~~~~~~

She calls Vox: Vee, Voc, Dowa (because every TV is apparently dora when she's a tiny 1 year old.)

Vox calls her: Princess, Vellbelle, belle, click, canva, sweetie, baby, babygirl, my dear.

She calls Val: Vee, tino.

Val calls her: Babydoll, princessa, babygirl, cupcake.

Vox as a caregiver

📺Vox is always the first to take care of Vel or Vox because he's the one with the most caregiver instincts. (He's the main Cg)

📺He'll keep a close eye on the littles. He always assumes they're up to no good if they dissappear or are quiet. (He's not wrong)

📺Vox has to take Velvette's phone away every now and then to get her to listen to him.

📺He's very good at soothing littles, playing some calming videos for them while he holds them, and rocks them to sleep.

📺He's always babying Val, no matter if he's little or not.

📺He's the best at cooking. He's really good at making food he knows both littles will like.

📺He does 90% of the caregiving responsibilities. It's not an equal balance at all.

📺He tries to be the cool, fun type of dad. But he doesn't always nail it. (He almost never does)

📺He tries his best to help Velvette with her hair, but he's really bad at it. Val always has to step in. Velvette will try to teach him by using dolls as examples, but it never works.

📺He likes Val a lot more when he's regressed, but he never expresses that.

Vox as a little.

Age: (2-7)

📺Vox loves mine craft!

📺Vox regresses the least because he pushes it down in favor of caregiving. Then he starts malfunctioning because of it.

📺Favorite stuff to watch: Cocomelon, finding Nemo, paw patrol, Megamind, Cyberchase, Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman, little Einsteins, the amazing world of gumball, and Danny phantom.

📺Vox can be gentle and soft most of the time unless someone provokes him and causes him distress, or if things just don't go his way. Then he'll throw a tantrum, causing him to glitch and/or malfunction.

📺Vox is a very smart little and normally understands a lot despite being little.

📺Vox does enjoy cartoons as little, but he'd much rather watch the greatest showman on loop! (Little Vox singing: "Woah!")

📺He wants Val's attention all the time and gets upset if Val is too busy to play or cuddle with him. He'll be happy with just Velvette most of the time, but sometimes he'll demand both of their attention and wont settle for less.

📺Velvette is the one to care for him the most. She'll listen when he talks about his games, shows, or any random knowledge that he's fixated on at the moment, and she'll legitimately try to understand and remember it all. But usually she gets bored and she doesn't remember any of it.

📺He has temper tantrums a lot! But Velvette is very good at calming him down.

📺He gets along really well with both Val and Velvette when they're regressed with him. The three of them love playing together! ❤️ 💙 💜

📺He argues with his caregivers a lot. He thinks he always knows better than them.

📺He's pretty good at talking his caregivers out of punishments, negotiating through food choices, and basically anything else. He loves having any sense of control.

📺He loves FNAF and knows all the lore!!!

📺He needs constant attention.

He will not be left alone! Or he'll throw a tantrum.

📺He easily gets frustrated, and he almost always ends up crying when he's small.

📺Little!Vox loves sharks and puppies! He also loves eels, stingrays, and angler fish.

📺He knows a million facts about sea creatures, and he wants to tell the other two all about it!

📺 His favorite toy is the giant shark plushie that Val bought for him 🦈

~~~~~~Nicknames:

Little!Vox calls Valentino: Vee, Val

Little!Vox calls Velvette: Vee, Vel (no real nicknames)

Valentino calls little Vox: Baby, Buffy,

Velvette calls little Vox: Darling, sweetie, glitchy Baby, small fry, bud.

Valentino as a regresser.

Not sure if he's a pet regresor or a little. He just kinda smol sometimes.

(Age ??)

Just a reminder, though Val regresses in this AU, he's still a bad person. He's just also a tiny sometimes.)

💛Val never remembers when he regresses, and always claims he never regresses, ever. No matter how many times Vox tells him otherwise.

💛Valentino loves to draw when little! He's very good. If he's feeling a certain way, drawing is an easy way for him to explain how he feels...words are hard.

💛He bites everything! Vox is constantly having to keep him away from chords and anything dangerous, just to have the moth bite his screen and crack it.

💛He will be perfectly fine most of the time if you set him by any type of light. He's...strange.

💛Val prefers Vox as a caregiver, but he's okay with Velvette watching him for a bit.

💛He'll run into things all the time. He's blind as a baby bat.

💛He's very bratty and doesn't listen worth anything, but Vox can usually distract him enough to calm him down.

💛Val doesn't really have a favorite program or show, Vox will just put on anything bright and colorful, and he'll be memorized for at least 20 minutes.

💛He loves to mimic his Caregivers behaviors. If Vox is talking to Velvette, he'll make little squeaking/buzzing sounds as he mimics the hand gestures.

💛He loves being held; most of the time, they can tell he's little if he crawls on Vel or Vox's lap.

💛Valentino throws everything! (He breaks a lot of stuff), so they gotta make sure there's no glass around. He'll throw it at them if he's upset.

💛He tries to climb the furniture to reach the lights on the ceiling.

💛He loves it when Velvette sings to him!

💛Velvette has made him the fluffiest clothes to wear when little, he loooovessss the floof!

💛He loves and demands affection! He loves being cuddled and petted.

💛He loves being tickled when little! Not so much when he's big.

~~~~~Nicknames:~~~~

Val doesn't talk when he's regressed, so his squeaks and buzzes is how he gets their attention.

Vel calls little Val: Baby, small fry, grub.

Vox calls little Val: Moth, little moth, little one, larva, tiny.

Velvette as a caregiver:

💗Creates perfect little outfits for Vox and Val! 💕

💗She loves singing to the littles as well as coming up with stories for them.

💗She's very good at calming Vox when he's having a breakdown.

💗She takes a million pictures of them when little (she can't post them, but she has them all saved on her phone)

💗She showers them with hugs and kisses. She's very affectionate!

💗She doesn't know how to deal with bratty kids, so she'll quickly become frustrated and ask the other V (whivhever) to step in and handle it.

💗She'll play any game with the littles, she makes it a full experience for them, she loves encouraging their imagination to run wild!

Valentino as a babysitter:

��He's fine with occasionally babysitting, but he's too busy to watch the little ones full time.

🚬He honestly finds the little’s adorable, but he still doesn't understand age regression at all...(he's kind of an idiot in case no one noticed.) Vox has explained Age regression a million times, but Val just doesn't quite grasp it despite he regresses all the time.

🚬Valentino hates all children's programming. So no matter what, Velvette or Vox watches when Little, it annoys him to no end. But NOTHING is more annoying to him than Cocomelon ! 😠

🚬He's really good at doing Velvette's hair and makeup. And he'll also play tea party with her.

🚬whenever Velvette babbles at him, he'll pretend she's dishing out the hottest gossip and gasp with surprise.

🚬He encourages littles to curse and cause problems for the other caregiver to handle. He has fun with them.

🚬He'll cuddle with Vox for as long as he wants to help him de-stress.

🚬He loves playing with the littles and spending quality time with them, but he's not so good at the actual caregiver stuff like feeding, changing, and making sure they don't hurt themselves.

🚬Surprisingly, He's really good at getting the littles to calm down and get to sleep.

🚬He takes no responsibility if the house is a mess when the other V gets home.

Feel free to send in more headcannons!

to preface I did enjoy Barbie, and I feel like I need to make that really obvious bc it’s the internet and some feminine presenting cis woman will call me a misogynist bc I’m butch lmfao, but I think the movie’s core messages are weakened by the way it handles manhood, masculinity, and queerness. Forgive the typos—I’m probably not gonna read this back:

In Barbie world, there is no room for meaningful gender variance. All gendering is idealized gender, with only feminine presenting women and masculine presenting men fitting into the paradigm—queerly gendered figures like Allen, Weird Barbie, Earring Magic Ken, and Sugar’s Daddy Ken are largely excluded from Barbie world society, both under the Barbies’ matriarchy and the Kens’ patriarchy, are regulated to the fringes and are either ridiculed or ignored. Allen, arguably the closest of these queerly gendered figures to the Ken’s idealized masculinity because his queerness is quieter but ultimately present, finds that under the Barbies’ supposedly utopian matriarchy, he is tolerated but not accepted, and that in the Kens’ patriarchy, he is fully terrified for his life.

Stereotypical Barbie’s narrative arc is a queerly gendered one, hinted at by everything from the Indigo Girls to her inability to fit in with the other Barbies. Ultimately, the movie wants us to understand that idealized expectations of gender are harmful, but simultaneously doesn’t provide any real source of liberation for its queerly gendered characters other than escaping their society for another one. The only reason the queerly gendered Weird Barbie is offered a cabinet position at the end is because she is a woman in a matriarchal society, and because the other Barbies feel guilt at not accepting her—but their feelings about her don’t change. They still think she’s not like them.

On the front of manhood and masculinity, something the movie glosses over is that before the Kens are introduced to the concept of patriarchy, they are marginalized people in the Barbie World society. They have no political, social, or economic power, and during the course of the movie it’s even revealed that they not only don’t have homes, but that the Barbies don’t even care enough to know that they don’t have homes. When the Kens discover patriarchy, their enthusiasm isn’t because they inherently think men deserve to rule the world, but because they were exposed, for the first time, to a system where they had power, and they decided they were sick of being subjected. But this point is undermined by a subtle through line of biological essentialism; early on, we see two Kens ready to fight over Stereotypical Barbie’s affections, suggesting that even here, men are inherently more prone to violence. And the society built in Barbie world is a society in which women are naturally intelligent and capable leaders, and where men are vapid and stupid. Interests and activities viewed as classically masculine are dismissed as frivolous and goofy—even ones without any moral or ethical association.

The only men who are exempt are those with queer genders, and even then, this ignores the well-documented misogyny many cis gay men express, and still positions them outside of society without any greener grass in sight. And in Barbie world, queerness for men equates femininity (just as Weird Barbie’s queerness is something more masculine than the other Barbies, even if not masculinity proper), which implied that masculinity, not manhood, is actually the crime, and that manhood and masculinity are inextricably linked (again, Weird Barbie isn’t masculine, per se. She just isn’t feminine).

So while the movie’s message seems to be rooted in the idea that idealized femininity and idealized masculinity are harmful, it seems to also believe that masculinity and manhood are bad, and femininity and womanhood are good, but only if performed in the right way. We are supposed to understand that even if Stereotypical Barbie needs to leave to truly understand herself, the other Barbies have concrete senses of self and purpose, and that even if idealized gender expectations are harmful, Barbie world is better when ruled by the femininity—even that under feminine rule, it’s a utopia. But it’s still a world where queer expressions of gender and sexuality don’t have the opportunity to exist (Barbies only date Kens after all, no matter how many young sapphics made their Barbies scissor). Weird Barbie is specifically an interesting representation of queerness—it is only masculine girls (masculine in this context just means sapphic; sapphicness is a divergence from femininity in any society that values idealized femininity above all other forms), who are believed to have destroyed their Barbies as children. It’s often a point of pride among women who “aren’t like the other girls,” or those who like to feel different. Of course the reality is different—I’m a butch who never destroyed my Barbies; I just made them help my Power Rangers save the day. But the discrepancy between Weird Barbie (who is queer coded in a way straight audiences will likely understand) and Stereotypical Barbie (who is queercoded in a way likely only more accessible to queers, but specifically lesbians, who isn’t attracted to any of the Kens who want her but can’t figure out why), is stark. Stereotypical Barbie isn’t cast out of society because she is still performing a degree of acceptable femininity, and has the privilege choosing to leave. Weird Barbie, on the other hand, is forced to the fringes of society because she is visibly queer.

It’s fascinating to me that feminine presenting cis women (or those like AFAB she/theys who may not be cis but essentially move through the world as if they are feminine presenting cis women), have universally labeled the Barbie movie “for the girls,” when in reality, it feels to me more of a movie for those who fail to perform gender correctly. But I understand why, because the movie still, loudly and clearly, sends the message that femininity is good, and masculinity is bad—and of course the people most harmed by this message, which is oh so prevalent in leftist spaces, queer spaces, feminist spaces, are trans fems (bc transmisogyny), trans mascs, butches, studs, people whose masculinity is racialized, and people who experience marginalized masculinities.
