Art from January! WALL OF TEXT INCOMING (I copied and pasted the desc I typed out on DA hgngh…) I looked up poses for some of the characters that inspire me when it comes to Troy’s character and his world.
The ones I picked here are Fred from Scooby Doo, Doyle from Galaxy High, and StarLord from Guardians of the Galaxy. 
All of these character I feel share similar traits and energy. All of them can be goofy and silly or like to crack jokes,  and even have similar physical characteristics. Fred is usually depicted as being a bit out of touch and does some pretty unexpected and funny things, also gives off “himbo” vibes. His actions or methods to catch the bad guy can seem unorthodox, but still work. Overall just quirky, but means well. I see Troy as that too. Unless it’s a very serious situation, Troy’s silliness and goofiness is going to come out while he’s on the job and in uniform, but that doesn’t mean you can’t count on him to get the job done.
In the more recent stuff they show Fred to have an obsession with nets and traps, and that reminds me of Troy and his love for tacos. He also just gets excited or really happy about certain things in general, which makes me think of Troy too, because he can get like that about things. I could have chosen a lot of poses and expressions with Fred tbh, but I saw him making that one in a clip I was looking at, and I just got an urge to draw it. 
I haven’t gotten to watch every episode of Galaxy High yet, (there aren’t that many as the show didn’t last too long) but from what I’ve seen, there’s a lot of elements in there that inspire me, not just the main character. The overall plot of him and another human girl from earth being chosen to attend a high school in space is already interesting to me. There’s aliens of all kinds co-mingling, futuristic tech, space-related hijinks, and just good-ole 80s vibes! Which of course, I always enjoy. 
Doyle himself is pretty much a jock. Not an extreme one, but I’d consider him being in the category. He’s sporty/athletic, plays football. That reminds me of Troy because he’s athletic and sporty too and plays basketball. That’s why I thought that pose there would be a good one to try.
They make Doyle out as meaning well too, but since he’s a teenager his choices aren’t always the best. There’s usually a lesson to learn at the end of an episode. Even though Troy isn’t a teenager, he’s still a young adult, and can honestly still act like a teen or big kid anyway.
ALSO Doyle works as waiter at a diner, and Troy works as a waiter at a restaurant when in hooman disguise! I didn’t even know about Galaxy High when I made that a thing for Troy, so I thought that was an interesting similarity as well. I’m tempted to draw Troy in the outfit Doyle wears just for the fun of it.
Annd then we have Starlord, who may be the least surprising choice here…. He’s a part of a group called “Guardians of the Galaxy”. They travel around space helping people, fight bad guys… and there’s some comedic flare thrown into the mix. I mean, that’s pretty much Troy’s concept in a nutshell. Starlord himself reminds me of Troy in a lot ways. I could see Troy listening to oldies music while in his ship, or exploring a planet, jamming out and all that. Cracking jokes while he’s fighting with something or someone. All that stuff. 
Whew boy, uh… sorry for this wall of text here. If you made it to the end of this then kudos to you haha. ;w; Just felt like giving a bit of explanation for each character here… there’s many more characters that have inspired me with Troy though. 
Also this was a experiment here, taking screenshots or looking up pics of characters that inspire me and trying to redraw their poses/expressions. I gotta do this more. I’ve never really gotten to before but it really helps with going out of my comfort zone and exploring a character more.

Headcanon or fanfic with (Kenma, Kuroo, Tsukki,Noya ) (if it’s a fic then just one of the first 3 😂 you pic) being with one of the haikyuu boys and you’re at his game cheering him on and like every now and then when he isn’t playing He’s watching you and the game gets supper intense like keep tying kind of intense and finally, he gets the winning point and you’re like hella happy for him. And you run down and go and like hug him and he’s hella sweaty(1)
(2) and just like... h o t. And after a while of you rambling on about how well he did he just kisses you and takes you off somewhere private to “celebrate” him winning and you come back like 20 minutes later just as sweatyer
**********************************************
haikyuu!! headcanons
**********************************************
he watches you cheering him on during his match, and you get steamy in a changing room right after
warnings: i didn’t age the characters up here, still there is clearly suggestive if not even sexual content. i don't glorify sexualisation of minors. so please don't take their ages too seriously. just pretend they're all in college or something
pairings: kenma x reader, kuroo x reader, tsukki x reader, noya x reader
note: omg hell yes! thank you so much for this request. i am in LOVE with it👀💅🏻 and sorry that took so long to write
**********************************************
kozume kenma
the match was in full blow. the crowd cheered as nekoma fought against nohebi. their opponents were strong, though they slightly had the upper hand.
you sat in the front row, well stood and jumped up and down every time nekoma made a point, especially when kenma, your boyfriend did.
he had noticed you a while ago, cheering on him making him kinda proud to do something worth your applause. he wasn't able to look at you very often as he was the brain of the team and had to watch and analyse the court, but every time they scored a point he did, just to see you with the brightest smile on your face.
so even though they were in the third set already and exhausted to the max, the motivation couldn't seem to leave him.
then finally, nohebi's ace made a mistake and spiked the ball directly at yaku, who received perfectly tossing to kenma, who set the ball to yamamoto. it came through.
the whole gym fell silent as the ball touched the opposite side of the court, before deafening cheers and applause filled the hall. the match was won.
as soon as the victory was announced you had jumped up and ran to the entrance door. kenma looked for you in the crowd like a lost puppy until he spotted you and power walked over.
he was all sweaty and beaten up but still managed to smìle at you weakly as you rambled about what a good job he did. you talked too much for his liking.
'...and that last -' he shut you up with a kiss. it was intended to be a gentle peck, to make you stop talking but after he started he just couldn't hold himself back any longer. it felt so good to kiss you right after what he had accomplished.
he put both his hands on either side of your waist, pulling your core closer to him as he slipped his tongue inside your mouth and made you slowly back up into and abandoned changing room. after you were inside he locked the door and pushed you against a wall.
in between kisses you managed to say 'kenma *kiss* what has *kiss* gotten into you?' he looked you straight in the eyes.
'i don't know, but it feels so good right now' you smiled as you flipped him over, so his back was against the wall now and kissed him just as passionately as he did before. after a few seconds you pulled away. he shot you a confused look.
you leaned in again, kissing the side of his neck, making him sigh heavily 'maybe i can make you feel even better.' you paused. 'may i?' he nodded energetically making you giggle. you kissed him one last time before sliding down, kneeling before him
you undid the knot on his uniform pants sliding them down, as well as his underpants
...
after maybe 15 minutes you left the changing room, kenma being even more out of breath than he was before, earning confused and some knowing glances from his teammates.
kuroo tetsurou
the atmosphere was tense. nobody seemed to talk as the ball switched sides again and again
kuroo heard you cheering for him lightly. it was faint but it was there, your voice apart from the big crowd
still he couldn't avert his eyes much, but after every point he looked at you. sometimes you gave him reassuring thumbs-up or smiled at him encouragely
the match was intense, one team just as strong as the other, points tied most of the time
but there it was
eveybody was tired but nekoma's defense still stood strong, completely tearing the other team's offence apart. the ace of the other team served, yaku received and passed to kenma who tossed to lev. he spiked it over the net but the opposite libero could get a hold of hit, directly passing it to the ace again, who jumped in for a spike again.
but nekoma saw it coming
kuroo and lev jumped in for a block, but in the end it was kuroo's hand that touched the ball and slammed it down.
the ball fell and it almost seemed like time went in slow motion. the players of the other team tried to reach it but failed.
the gym was completely quiet for a second, before cheering emerged from all sides.
nekoma cheered, lev and inouka giving each other high fives, yamamoto tackled kenma, but kuroo looked for you in the crowd.
he was looking up in vain, as you had already jumped up and ran down to the entrace of the court. you yelled and waved 'tetsu!'
he literally ran into your arms, lifting you up and spinning you around in his endless relief, making yaku and kai roll their eyes, but in a playful way.
'you did so great' you whispered in his ear, while the rest of the team left walking around you, knowing your display of affection might take a while. you continued to whisper sweet compliments and praises in his ear, but he seemed kinda distracted.
he started kissing you behind your ear, nibbling on your soft and sensitive skin, leaving a little red mark.
'tetsu... what are you doing? everybody can see us' you stuttered, making him smirk.
'so it'd be ok, if they didn't see us?' he muttered in this deep voice of his. he was so close to your ear that you felt the vibration of his voice on your skin.
before you could even answer he backed off in an abandoned changing room, locking the door behind him. 'we wouldn't want anybody to interrupt us, right kitten?' he groaned, still holding you up, your legs around his waist.
your eyes slowly got used to the darkness of the changing room. kuroo stoved you against the wall, making you wimper when your back hit the hard surface.
'kitten.' he looked you in the eyes, and all the playfulness from before had vanished from his face. he looked serious, desperate even. 'i need you. i need you right now.'
you nodded. 'ok' you said gently.
kuroo smiled then kissed you passionately, before pulling away and tried to open the button and zipper of your pants. his hands were twitching, maybe from the exhaustion he had gotten from the match and clearly struggled opening them. you smiled faintly, signaling him to let you down, what he did and let you do the work and slide down your pants.
then he undid his own and stepped closer again pressing his body against yours, trapping you between him and the wall again, giving you a heated kiss, while pulling you up again.
he slid down his pants and
....
about 15 minutes later both of you arrived at the school bus, clearly out of breath, but still smiling.
the team gave you annoyed looks especially yaku, who rolled his eyes yet again.
just lev was confused. 'what took you so long?' he asked rather nobody and everybody at the same time. then he turned to yaku 'yaku-san what were they doing?' he looked at lev disgusted
'i don't get paid enough to answer that kind of questions'
'you don't get paid at all, yaku'
tsukishima kei
the game was at the peak of tension right now. nobody in the crowd dared to speak as most of them had covered their lips with their hands in an attempt to hold keep their gasps inside, to not distract the players.
daichi had been switched with ennoshita after getting hit in the face and getting a nose bleed. tsukishima, your boyfriend also got no mercy. after the ace of the opposing team had spiked against a three man block of karasuno, hitting tsukishima's hand with full strength, both his pinky and ringfinger had started bleeding. still nothing that couldn't be fixed with a bit of tape.
you had been cheering for him most of the time but when that happened, it left you in shock.
he heard your faint cheers in the back of his head, and the scream you gave as he got injured. you have him a questioning look that asked if he wanted you to come down, but he shook his head, trying to calm you down.
didn't work obviously
still he continued in the match
he stole glances to you now and then, too short for you to even notice but you didn't care. you were way too tense to bother.
and then there it was.
the opposite ace spiked the ball over the net, or at least tried but hinata, tanaka and tsukishima jumped in, forming a giant umbrella. the ball rebounced off tsuki's hand and landed inside the opposite side of the court, as the other team still tried to save it, but failed miserably.
it took the guys a moment to realise their victory but when they did their emotional outbursts were amazing. tanaka, noya and the first years (except tsuki) screamed, the third years including kiyoko cried and hugged each other, tsuki pumped his fists in the air and then got tackled by noya.
yachi, who had been standing beside you in the ranks cried as well. within sobs she pulled you with her down, to congratulate the team.
the team just said their thanks and bowed to the crowd when tsukishima finally noticed that you weren't there anymore, but saw that yachi wasn't either, so he estimated that both of you were on your way down.
when they left the court to the hallways he spotted you, you who couldn't or didn't try to hide their excitement at all. you ran into his arms and he was so happy and energised still that he hugged you back and smiled the biggest, most genuine smile you've ever seen him smile.
the rest of the team took off. you'd have a small stay before the bus would be taking off.
tsuki still had you in his arms. you giggled. he was so sweaty but you off course didn't care right now.
'you did so great' you said over and over again making him even more lightheaded than he was already. abruptly he pushed you off slightly, making you give him a confused and offended look, but before you could say anything he took you by your arm an pulled you into an abandoned locker room.
after you two entered he locked the door behind you before giving you his undivided attention again. you remained silent while he approached you slowly, making you back up against a wall until you were completely cornered. he pushed a knee in between your legs, making you moan lightly and him grin.
you knew exactly what was about to happen and you let him. he deserved it.
still not moving his leg he moved his face closer until your lips finally touched in a passionate and hungry manner. not taking his mouth off yours, he opened your pants swiftly with one hand, pulled it down and moved his fingers in between your legs to your...
...
about half an hour later you and the rest of the team was to meet at a destined place at the gym.
all the other guys anyway cooled down, didn't even look sweaty anymore. just tsuki was still red and out of breath
most of them (except hinata) suspected, but nobody even dared to ask.
nishinoya yuu
everybody was exhausted from the continuous exchange of the ball. nobody wanted to give up as the ball switched sides again and again. both liberos had the most work. noya was all sweaty and out of breath, still he managed to move like it was the beginning of the game.
it wasn't. they were in their 5th set right now.
you never failed to cheer on him, calling his name over and over again. like this he couldn't slack off. you relied on him. the team relied on him. so he didn't.
and there it was.
the ace of the other team spiked the ball over the net but karasuno's block managed a one touch, noya received it in the last second and brought the ball back to kageyama.
he tossed to asahi, who broke directly through the opposites team block.
the gym fell silent
after a few seconds the cheering started. the whole fan club of karasuno including yachi and you was so excited. nobody had believed in them to win but here they were. 17-15. 3-2.
yachi and you went down to the entrance of the court, where noya and the rest of the team already waited. as soon as he saw you, all the energy seemed to come back to him as he ran into your arms and literally tackled you to the ground.
the team have you little worried glances (maybe he had hurt you) but both of you just remained on the ground for a bit giggling.
the others decided to walk around campus for a bit, leaving you all to yourself.
sfter a bit you were able to free yourself from noya 's grip, standing and pulling him up with you. you continued to hug him tightly still. telling him over and over again how great he did.
he was way more excited than you were though, bubbling on and on about how he felt.
you stopped him mid sentence with a kiss, to what he gave in immediately, closing his eyes and cupping either side of your cheeks with his hands.
a few seconds later though, he noticed that the heat from the game just didn't seem to leave him.
he felt light headed and his core literally burned as the at first soft kiss transitioned onto a passionate and hungry one.
not breaking contract with you he pulled you with him as he backed off into an empty changing room.
you went with the flow though.
he stoved you on to the wall next to the door, pressing you against it with one hand and locking the door with the other, still never breaking the kiss
you were used to noya being affectionate and open with pda but this was a fairly new experience, him just lashing out like that. he usually was pretty innocent with pda after all.
you felt like his tongue found it's way deeper and deeper into your mouth
you backed away a bit, trying to speak so his lips moved swiftly to your neck, sucking the sensible skin
'noya, what..' you managed to say before he stopped you by shoving his tongue in between your lips again.
'i can... can't i?' he gave you this puppy eyes, making you nod ever so slightly. 'i did so good today, didn't i babe? did you see? i gave it my all just for you.' you nodded again
you moved your hands away from his chest down to the waistband of his shorts. his playful expression got replaced by a more serious, questioning one, asking if it really was alright with you, getting your permission. you nodded a third time, making him smirk
he let you continue to slide his pants down and
...
about 20 minutes later you met up with the rest of the team at the front gate, both of you looking more out of breath than before
tanaka gave noya a silent but proud thumbs-up
the rest avoided eyecontact in embarrassment

Okay then.
Let’s break this down.
(Spoilers and predictions ahead, obviously.)
So, we know the first five titles in Owl House Season 2 and their short summaries. Amusingly, before seeing these I had already put some of this together from the trailer. Behold!
Episode 1: Separate Tides - “Luz feels guilty about Eda losing her powers, so she sets sail in search of a lucrative bounty to help the Owl House.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: Lilith and Eda sitting at school desks outside the Owl House. Pic 2: Luz in an adorable sailor outfit (complete with fish-bandana) firing an ice blast in front of some steam chimneys. Pic 3: Luz in the same outfit in front of the same chimneys casting her plant spell.]
Here we have SAILOR LUZ, in an adorable new outfit, and it seems likely that Luz’s Lessons In Glyph Magic For Cursed Witches will be prompting this quest. But I think there’s a high chance this won’t be the only boat trip we take this season, because...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image description: Pic 1: Luz in a different outfit, tied up on another ship with a hemispherical canopy in the background, casting an ice glyph with her feet. Pic 2: An incredibly creepy dragon with a face like two hands clasped in prayer and thumbs and fingers all over its wings and body sitting on what looks like that same canopy atop a balloon envelope, looking down with narrowed eyes.]
Here, we seem to see something that may (oh please oh please oh please) be Luz on a skyship, in snazzy cool new pants that do not match her sailor get-up. The balloon canopy the hand-dragon is perched on looks an awful lot like the one above Luz’s head in the first shot, so this is likely either a monster they encounter in whatever aircraft this is, or the possibly the thing lifting it in the first place. They might also be on a roof, but I’m getting strong balloon vibes from what it’s perched on there, so here’s hoping.
Moving on to Luz’s dangerous deal with Amity’s parents, this isn’t hard to match pictures to.
Episode 2: Escaping Expulsion - “When Amity's parents get Luz, Willow and Gus expelled from Hexside, Luz strikes a dangerous deal with them to get back into school.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: A giant Abomination cyborg standing in front of a sign that says “??? Industries” with an Abomination-track logo. Pic 2: A green-haired woman firing a jet of green fire from an Abomination-gun on-stage in front of a backdrop reading “Blight Industries” in the same style as the sign. Pic 3: Luz looking battered in her school uniform, running away across overhead pipework as the Abomination-cyborg chases her with a morningstar-hand.]
So yeah, fascinating stuff here. An Abomination-based company, Blight Industries, Abomination-tech. Looks like the Abomination track is the engineering/STEM field and the Blights own one of the biggest companies in the field, which is probably what Amity is being raised for (so why are the older twins in Illusions, I wonder?). This is probably going to be Luz agreeing to fight the Cy-bomination as a test run or something in order to get back into school. May or may not be an Amity-heavy episode, highly likely to have A++ Blight Parenting, child abuse and trauma either way. Be warned.
Episode 3: Echoes of the Past - “King's delusions of grandeur lead Luz, Lilith and Hooty to a dangerous new island.”
Now, this one is going to be both cool and creepy, because...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: Hooty in a doll house in front of the Owl House door, which seems to have organs protruding from the circular hole left in his absence. Pic 2: King and Luz flying on Owlbert in front of Lilith and a Hooty-house backpack on her staff. Pic 3: Luz venturing through an old ruin with crescent-headed statues in the walls. Pic 4: One of said crescent-headed statues revealing some rather nasty claws in front of Luz and King, with a backdrop of the same ruins. Pic 5: Lilith, also in the same ruins, showing some fair aptitude with a trio of ice-glyph spells, staff in hand.]
Yeah, this one’s going to have Hooty removed from the Owl House for the episode, which might well net us some lore on what the hell he is. These might be ancient Witch ruins, which would be cool, and I’d say there’s a strong possibility it’ll also be a “Luz coming round to forgiving Lilith for what she did to Eda” subplot, depending on whether or not Luz is holding even more of a grudge over than than Eda is (which I hope she is, because it would be a good character point). Also, can I just say that I adore Lilith’s “low battery icon” t-shirt? Hilarious character point. Much love. We may also see some of her Palisman, which would be nice; it never showed any independence from her staff in S1.
Episode 4: Keeping Up A-fear-ances - “Eda gets an unwelcome visit from a family member who puts strain on everyone in the Owl House.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: An old witch with grey hair and a giant eagle Palisman on her staff lands(?) in front of the Owl House. Pic 2: Present Eda fade-transitions into Past Eda in a clear flashback. Pic 3: Young Eda hides behind a door looking scared as a shadow on the wall very similar to her own silhouette shouts angrily on the other side. Pic 4: An older Eda, with a cloak, Owlbert and a streak of grey in her hair, turns around as something lunges toward her in a strange spherical room with a giant keyhole-shaped opening behind her.]
Mom? Mom. That unwelcome visitor in the first picture is almost certainly Eda and Lilith’s mother, which means we are going to be getting family dynamics and possibly flashbacks. This may or may not be a full flashback episode, but I’d say it’s at least likely that this will dig into Eda’s life - we’re certainly going to be getting a flashback of Eda’s life at some point. It looks like things weren’t happy at home - that third picture may be shortly after she was cursed, or possibly a reaction to her mischief-making, and the fourth may (given that keyhole opening) be where she got the portal door. Very excited for this; I love flashback episodes.
Episode 5: Through the Looking Glass Ruins - “Gus tries to impress a group of cool kids from Glandus High, while Luz and Amity journey into the most dangerous section of the library.”
I just wanna say I absolutely called both of these points from the trailer before looking at the episode summaries. Observe!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: Amity ties her hair back in front of a bookshelf, wearing a lanyard that says “Amity Blight: Staff”. Pic 2: Amity and Luz stand in the Library, flanked by bookshelves, in front of an enormous set of doors. Pic 3: Luz and Amity hold hands against a backdrop of blue and purple. Pic 4: Flying books/roof tiles with wings and eyes flap around amidst the rooftops. Pic 5: Gus fires a fireball through a blue magic circle in a forest, with giant thorny vines in the background. Pic 6: Gus’s fireball EXPLODES, scorching a path through more vines as four kids (one of them Matholomew) cower in the foreground.]
I was pretty sure from the library shots that there was going to be another Lumity-focused episode in the library, with the third picture possibly being books gone wild from the same episode or possibly not. Meanwhile, I connected the last two pictures from the environment and spell, and given all the plants, I’m betting this is either Gus going somewhere horribly dangerous to impress those kids, or him having accidentally upset Willow by trying to be popular and having to get her out of the horrible murderplant wall she’s surrounded himself with. 50/50, really, giant murderplants are very much her thing, but also not uncommon in the Boiling Isles ecosystem. This probably won’t be where we get canon Lumity, but I bet it’s a major step towards it. Looking forward to it!
---
So, that’s the episodes we have concrete info on. What about the ones we don’t? What else might we see this season? I believe canon Lumity is all-but-confirmed - and even if it isn’t I’d say there’s a very, very high chance - but that feels more like a mid-season thing to me. What else?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: Lilith desperately reaches forward from where she’s fallen to the ground in the Owl House living room with hands that are growing talons and feathers. Pic 2: A monstrous Curse Beast with a white face unlike Eda’s and mottled plumage stalks around one of the Owl House doorways. Pic 3: A close up of this new Curse Beast snarling terrifyingly.]
Yup, looks like we’re getting a “Lilith’s First Transformation” episode. This confirms that she and Eda’s lessened curse will still have them (probably both) transforming sometimes, which is cool - I like the Owl Beast and it leads to interesting plots. Solid odds on this being something of a horror episode, with Curse Beast Lilith chasing them through the Owl House - and Eda no longer has magic to stop her. What’s Lilith reaching out for there in that first picture? Luz and Eda, warning them away? Her staff? The elixir? Possibly some combination of the three? Gonna be traumatic for her, that’s for certain.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: Camilla stands in front of a fullblown string-and-newspaper-clippings conspiracy wall, looking surprised. Pics 2 & 3: Nine individuals, each wearing a white cloak fastened with a brooch that bears the symbol of one of the nine major Covens (from left to right: Bard, Beast, covered-but-presumably-Healing, Illusions, Potions, Abominations, Oracle, Plants, covered-but-presumably-Construction (same short bald guy that was manning the Construction booth at Covention).]
On the “authority figures” side of things, we have Camila! And the Coven heads! Looks like Luz’s mama is going looking for her daughter - or possibly for whoever’s sending her those creepy letters - and I hope the background there is meaningful and not just filler backdrop, because that key on a hook to her left looks significant and might be the key for the ruined shack Luz entered the Boiling Isles through, while the strange figure holding what seems to be a paddle of some kind in the newspaper clipping to her right looks like it’s at the centre of the string-web. Meanwhile, we’re gonna be seeing the heads of the major covens in some form, probably in a single episode that has all of them cameo in minor roles - except wait a moment. That figure on the far left; the head of the Bard Coven in the hooded cloak with the shiny glasses and frown. Doth my eyes deceive me? Or...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: a short-haired older witch whose glasses and frown match the Bard Coven head turning to glare at the camera in front of a rock-strewn sandheap(?) Pic 2: The same witch playing a violin in front of a stone pillar, looking unhappy. Pic 3: Eda’s Grudgby scrapbook, including a photo of her, Lilith and a third girl in the Bard track enjoying sweets with Eda.]
... be this the same character? I believe it be! And it looks like an old friend-slash-possible-girlfriend of Eda’s! (Thanks to HeyRebeccaRose on Twitter for pointing that third picture out). That means Head Bard is probably going to get more focus than the other Coven heads (though the Abomination one is very front-and-centre and might also get significant focus from the Amity side if it’s a “Career Day” sort of episode), and we may get even more about Eda’s past.
Speaking of which...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: A strange conical figure shrouded in robes with a single yellow eye staring out from within them, holding a purple-fire lantern and pointing with elderly, long-fingernailed hands. Pic 2: Another strange cloaked figure, this one with a crescent moon for a face and stars all over their robes.]
Who are these two? Mysterious, and somewhat Oracley in the second case. Could these perhaps be other Wild Witches? We’re likely to see a running subplot of Luz searching for more glyphs and old-style glyph magic this season, so she may well meet some. I don’t get an “antagonist” vibe from either of these, more a “mysterious possible ally” one. Wild Witches they well could be. I wonder what Luz will learn from them?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: Creepy statues in a possible-graveyard with glowing red eyes that are crying blood. Pic 2: A giant blue dragon with a Shellder for a face that’s wreathed in cyan fire appearing out of nowhere in said creepy possible-graveyard. Pic 3: Hooty rearing up in the woods outside the Owl House, clearly fighting, surrounded by orange-glowing brown masses that could be trees or could be wings and may well be on fire either way. Pic 4: Lilith in a burning forest hitting something with a broken branch.]
What would The Owl House be without action, creepy monsters and horror? Not half as good, that’s what. These creepy evil statues may just be creepy evil statues or they may be petrified wild witches - either way, that’s probably going to be a horror episode, with the Shellder Dragon as a guardian of some sort for the possible-graveyard they’re in. And the second two pictures look alarmingly like an attack on the Owl House - one involving fire. We’re probably going to see Hooty cut loose and fight again, so, uh... RIP to his opponents, I guess. We’re also going to be getting more wide-scale action in the form of...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pics 1-3: The Titan’s Skull, its eyes first glowing yellow, then burning with golden fire, then engulfing the whole frame in a giant explosion. Pic 4: Luz activates a combo-glyph comprised of Fire and Ice together, painted onto some giant boulder or similar. Pic 5: Luz floating apparently-unconscious in a glowing body of water of some kind, with a rope tied around her waist that’s either connected to something deeper down, or has been cut loose from whatever it was anchored to.]
... the Titan itself. Yeah, we’re going to be seeing it acting in some form this season - and I include the pictures of Luz there, because the first shows her increasing skill at glyph magic and the second looks either like a stock “fell from a great height after the rope tying her to another character/the skyship was cut, landed in water, passed out” thing, or a “communing with the Titan while in trance” pose. Or maybe even both! Certainly I think we’re going to be seeing Luz discover that Belos isn’t the only one with a way to talk to the Titan in this season, and if she takes a trip up to the Skull - highly likely - we may see it take a more active role in communicating its own desires and viewpoint, such as they are, and Luz developing her form of magic further as a result.

[Image descriptions: Pic 1: Owl-Masked figure seated on a techno-staff, waving merrily, against a backdrop of what seems to be the Skull. Pic 2: Owl-Mask in front of a set of doors, watching inscrutably as a horned figure (whose shadow is cast across them) undergoes a monstrous transformation. Pic 3: Owl-Mask taunts a caged King. Pic 4: A distressed Kikimora casts a spell. Pic 5: Luz (in her snazzy new patterned pants and cloak) leaps up onto a roof with a red bird (Palisman?) on her shoulder and Owl-Masks’s techno-staff in her hand.]
So yeah, saving the most interesting till last, there’s this asshole. Owl-Mask (and I’m not giving a gender, since we don’t know either way) is probably going to be the new Lilith in this season, either being the primary one in that role of “Belos’s hand”, or sharing the role with Kikimora (who is at minimum going to be in at least one fight). Given the techno-staff like Belos’s and the owl theme of the mask, this person has strong themes of being a foil to Luz; with Belos as their Eda. And indeed, that monstrous figure they’re watching has horns - is that Belos? Does he have a cursed form as well? That would increase the parallels even more.
Of course, it seems Luz is, hilariously, going to steal that techno-staff (like mentor, like student, I suppose), and possibly learn something about this third form of magic-as-technosorcery without glyph or circle that Belos uses. She also has a friend! This might well be someone else’s Palisman that she’s helping escape (since we see in another shot that Belos is still murdering and eating Palismans), but it might also be her own! If so, hopefully she’ll carve it from the giant wisteria tree she and Amity grew in Enchanting Grom Fight, and hopefully it will be gay as hell.
And of course, closing out the season...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image descriptions: Pic 1: A gauntleted hand puts a patchwork key into the keyhole of the reassembled Franken-Door-Portal as it lights up. Pic 2: Belos stands in front of the still-incomplete Franken-Door-Portal, with shaggy blonde hair reaching his shoulders and his mask in hand. The shot, even as he puts it on, very carefully hides any sight of his ears from the viewers.]
Yup. Belos’s work to reassemble the Door and the “Day of Unity” is the ticking clock this season (which I suspect it will end on him successfully opening, and then the three 44-minute Season 3 mega-episodes will be the consequences of that). I’m nearly certain he’s human at this point, the framing is just being too coy about hiding his ears for anything else, and his hands and hair are definitely humanoid rather than some kind of eldritch monster. Though I’m sceptical about him being Luz’s father as some have suggested. It’s possible, but I’d rate it as a somewhat flat twist. We are getting more Camila this season though, so who knows?
The “Day of Unity” is what he’s working up to, and I wonder - unity with what? Between all witches? Between worlds? Between him and the Titan? I’m inclined to believe him when he says it’s not as simple as a straightforward invasion of the human world, less because I trust his word (I don’t) and more because, like... what would be the point? What would it gain him?
There are a couple of other shots from the trailer I could ask about - the giant demon shadow on the wall that I called out as probably being another King gag of being cast by a tiny demon when I saw it and was vindicated by the short excerpt from Ep 1 that got released, the shot of Luz clinging to some kind of mechanical-looking arm holding a boulder, a guard using magic (maybe at a magicless Eda), a knightly-looking fellow being attacked by a giant monster, etc - but none of those are shots I can get much from in terms of what to expect, so I’ll close off there. All in all, I’m super eager for this new season and can’t wait to see how much I got right!
See you when the new episodes drop!

futakuchi kenji headcanon | classmates (part two)
[ part one ]
i forgot to mention in the first part. but no warnings, just fluff. and yes i draw the pic hehe
Tumblr media
after your club meeting ended, you make your way to the gym where the match is held, with hanna, your best friend. of course, there's no way you would have gone there alone. the courage is almost ✨ non existence ✨
"i know this is a well known fact, but them volleyball kids are huge." she commented as you guys arrived. you nods to it. "yikes! the nets are crazy high."
you eyes wildly scan through the gym to find the guy who caused you to come here. and there he is, talking with his teammates and the scary looking coach. you want to say hi to him at least, and to let him know that you're a woman of your word. but seems like this is not really the right time.
"should we go there? there's another students too." hanna point out to the bleachers where the dateko banner at. the opposing team got their banner too, as you look at accross the court. this is just a practice match but their spirit is amazing. you thought to yourself.
as you both are making your way there, unfortunately there's a stray shot from the other school coming fast at you guys. both of you and hanna barely dodge it, while screaming the hell out of yourselves. 
the whole gym freeze as if someone just d*ed. while you and hanna hold each other's hand. "bitch that was scary." you said and hanna just gasp for air. "that was indeed, but also embarrassing."
as much as how embarrassing it is, that's also how futakuchi notices that you came to watch the match. but he didn't get to feel happy yet, considering the situation you're in. he quickly run to you and ask if you're okay.  
"did you guys hurt anywhere?" he ask, worriedly. you shakes your head. "no, no. the ball didn't even hit us. we're just shocked."
"someone could've died from that spike," hanna said. 
suddenly a player from another team come and apologized to you guys. you told him not to worry as you guys didn't get hit but futakuchi just send him an annoyed look. "why are you trying so hard? be careful next time," 
obviously, to others his face right now is kinda scary. but for you he looks cute though. also can't deny he looks very cool.
"oo look how scary you are captain~" you said as the dude left.
"hey, you could've been hurt for real~" he said, while messing up your hair, the thing that he always do. you grab his hand and look at him, annoyed. "don't touch my hair like that, it'll get messy."
"okay, okay." he laughed, fix your hair and pat your head instead. "you can watch us play from there. it'll be easier for me to spot you there during the match,"
"ehh? just focus on your match,"
"i will. but i'll just glance over there sometimes to see you." at this point, he didn't even try to hide it anymore, and you're just like uuuhhhmmmm oookaaayyyyy??? sIR ask me out already damn-
"geez," you said, looking away, blushing and notices hanna is looking at you like 👁👄👁
you quickly get yourself together so she wouldn't annoy you later. (which she will definitely do) you look at futakuchi, who never take his eyes off from you. "good luck kenji, we will cheer for you."
"uhm okay, thank you." he smiles, only God knows how hard it is for him not to hold you in his arms right now. and no words could really describe how happy he was when you agreed to watch this match. 
it would've been better to watch the official match instead but the match season always clashes between exams and other stuffs. and as you also have your club activities as well, so you couldn't really go to watch him play. you really want to, though.
as you sit at the bleachers, hanna starts to run her mouth on play. "i'm so weird out at the fact he didn't ask you out yet,"
"man just shut up," you said. "i like how things are now," no you like it even more if you can actually be more brave than now to ask him out instead. and kiss him idk
"liar." she snorted. "and oh my my.. look at that, the fangirls are looking at you right now,"
"i'm trying hard not to look at them.." you said, weakly. "why did you point it out?”
its not like you can't feel intense gazes from the underclassmen looking at you, in rage. its scary, somehow. "they kinda remind me of us during the first year, when we have a crush on that senior, don't you think?" you said to hanna. 
"oh yea," hanna replied. "but once we find out that the senior's girlfriend was like too gorgeous for this world, we just quickly gave up."
you guys laughed and suddenly your eyes glance at the court, where the match almost starts. and the first thing you see is, futakuchi is shirtless- no like, he's changing his practice shirt to their volleyball uniform. but damn he's hot- you quickly look away, your face is red. 
seeing how everyone is acting pretty normal with the boys stripping like that, it must've been an everyday thing to them. "whoa imagine getting used to that," you said. 
the match starts and you noticed how different he looks right now. he usually a playful and chill kind of guy, but right now he looks so serious that it is so sexy. not in a sexual way though, like he just- idk amazing? confident? charming? seriously.
its the first serve for this game and he start it off with a really intense serve and it took your breath away. no one could even touch the ball, and you hear the people cheering 'service ace'  for him.
"oh my god," you said. "i just fell in love again,"
[ there's two more part. or one. depends. im sorry ]

Love Is For Losers
NicoMaki, Love Live, 1.7K, 1/2
Summary: Yazawa Nico and Nishikino Maki are both key players on the Otonokizaka University Tennis Team. But now Nico has decided to "improve" Maki's social media and tennis game.
Love Is For Losers
Not the most flattering picture of herself, racquet ready, waiting for the return of a serve, but Maki Nishikino really liked her look of concentration. So she hit “Post.”. And the hearts and reactions and fire emojis piled on. Wait, what was that comment, from @NicoNi? “With squinty eyes like that, how can you see the ball?”
WTF?!?!?!? Junior and top tennis singles player Nico Yazawa was notorious for living on social media. Since practice started in September, she’d been leading weekly social media best practice training sessions for the Otonokizaka University team that freshman Maki had proudly never attended. And now she was trolling Maki? Was that a social media best practice?
Maki never replied to a comment, but to let the smug Nico Ni have the last word would grate across every nerve Maki had.
To quickly type, “Who’s in the top 10 national standings again? Can you see that?” seemed almost an illicit thrill. To get an instant reply of eye emojis, plus a sweatdrop made Maki laugh out loud. Quickly scoping out the coffeeshop to check if she’d drawn any attention to herself, Maki clicked through to NicoNi’s home page, Nico’s last post was a bikini shot with an obscene amount of hearts and various emoji combinations in an endless comment scroll. Maki snorted, too obvious an attention grab. Maki would ignore it and stick to tennis, which she knew very well. Ah, there was a pic of Nico rushing the net, one of her favorite ways to use her sprint speed. Maki had an in.
“Spend less time looking at my pics and more time on your approach shots.”
Another instant reply. Another sweat drop. “Nico knows. But you’re so pretty. See you at media training ; )”
Did Nico think she was going to get Maki into one of her stupid sessions like that? Maki dropped her phone on the table, sipping her espresso with a frown.
###
Maki’s phone pinged explosively. A series of messages from her self proclaimed bestie and doubles partner, Hoshizora Rin.
R: hahaha Maki Ma you really need to be here
R: Nico’s going through your TWIG account as her “what not to do on social media” slideshow
R: it’s so funny, Maki
R: (*≧艸≦)(*≧艸≦)(*≧艸≦)
R: you missed out Check out Nico’s LIVE.
Maki stared at her phone. Nico’s Live, that happened when you went to someone’s TWIG profile and clicked on their pic, right? Maki did, grimacing as she clicked on Nico’s face. Nico was in front of a whiteboard, drawing pictures of tennis rackets, disgustingly cute tennis rackets. She leaned forward, checking her phone, then grinned like someone who’d just served a winning ace.
“And @Nishikinoshot has just joined the fans watching Nico on TWIG Live…”
Maki heard Rin yell “Hi Maki!!!” in the background as Nico continued, “One of the best ways to learn how to properly conduct and promote yourself on social media is to find an influencer you respect and build a relationship with them. @Nishikinoshot has chosen @NicoNi, the smartest move she…
“I have not.” Maki shouted at her phone and then felt silly when she realized there was no way for Nico to see or hear her, or was there? TWIG kept floating an “ask to join the Live” teaser, so Maki thumbed it. Nico paused, obviously her notifications were on, another one of those winning serve grins and suddenly Maki was sharing Nico’s screen.
“Jumping into the Live. Good initiative, Nishikino..”
“Maki.”
“So why’d you pick your TWIG handle?”
What kind of a question was that?
“Nishikino shot...you know...because of tennis...the Nishikino shot always scores.” Also worked with photography, a hobby Maki wanted more time for.
“Nishikino announces her prowess off and on the court.” Nico giggled, Maki glared.
“What are you saying? That’s not right.”
“Ah, so you admit it is confusing. Make a note of that, class, it’s always best to have a tag that doesn’t confuse people.” Staring right at Maki, ruby eyes twinkling, Nico made an elaborately surprised, amused face, raising a hand to cover her mouth. “We were reading it as Nishikino’s hot, ‘cause you are.”
Maki flushed. And fumbled with her phone to end the live, not even registering what other garbage Nico was saying. And then her phone pinged again.
R: Are you all right, Maki? Nico was just having a little fun.
M: I don’t want to talk about Nico.
R: Okay.
M: That was your fault.
R: Hey, I thought you’d want to know.
M; Yeah...but tomorrow, after practice, you’re on clean up.
R: Maaaaaki (⁎˃ᆺ˂)’
###
Grunting, Maki swung through at full velocity, then grimaced as yet another practice serve skipped out of bounds. She leaned over to pick up another couple of balls. Both buckets were empty. Tempted to throw her racket, instead she shook her head, tucked her racquet under her arm, grabbed a bucket and went to the other side of the court to pick up the balls.
“Hey, let me help you,” chirped an unfamiliar voice. Maki turned. Nico Yazawa had grabbed the other buckets and was hustling for the net. Nico was always hustling, all lean muscle and speed. Her sable hair, usually put up in twin tails, was loose, still wet from the shower. She’d changed from her usual practice uniform to casual pink and black striped biker shorts and an oversized pink t-shirt shirt that slid off her shoulder and read “Killer Cute.” “Coach ended practice an hour ago.”
Maki shrugged, starting with the balls as far away as possible from the spot Nico had chosen.
“You’re always out here.”
“I take tennis seriously.”
Nico hesitated, hands on her hips, watching Maki curiously over mirror sunglasses perched halfway down her nose, “Nico sees that. But you can get trapped in patterns if no one points them out.”
“I’m fine. I win.”
“Don’t you want to win better?”
“Win better? That’s not a thing.” Maki tapped her racquet against her leg, fidgety.
“Accuracy matters.” Nico picked up a tennis ball, tossed it into Maki’s bucket, and winked, “Crush your opponents with finesse, not raw power. Fewer wasted serves.”
Maki’s hasty rush of anger changed to curiosity. Nico led the team in aces, with amazing power for someone so short. “Coach hasn’t said anything.”
“Like you said, you get the job done. And Coach has other problems...like keeping Honoka from exhausting herself in the first few volleys.”
They both chuckled at how eager Honoka Kosaka was to chase down every ball, until she hit empty. As a joke, after their last practice, Rin had her girlfriend, Hanayo Koizumi, the team manager, post a photoshopped pic of a golden retriever playing next to Honoka’s double’s partner, Umi Sonoda. Honoka had laughed longer than anyone.
Nico was right, Maki realized. Coach had been spending a lot of time on the players with more basic problems. And their assistant spend most of the time on opponent research, editing video footage.
“Nico uses a platform stance, but Maki could get away with a pin-point stance. Watch my feet.” Nico grabbed a ball, tossing it up, swinging at it with a pretend racquet. Instead of her feet remaining the same distance apart, her back foot shifted closer to the front one and then she pushed off up into the serve. “You’ve already got natural explosive power, you don’t need a nitro boost.”
Maki considered, moving her feet through the change Nico suggested. It felt comfortable, offering more control. She nodded, then jumped back when Nico clapped her on the upper arm.
“You’re a quick learner. Hang on. Nico will hop over there and you can try it out. It’s more fun with an opponent.”
“I’ll win. You’ll be crushed.” Maki winked.
Nico laughed and it echoed. “Nico didn’t teach you everything Nico knows.”
###
“So you’re a local too.” Nico was scooping salad into Maki’s bowl. They’d decided to stop for dinner.
“Yeah. My family owns a medical center so I couldn’t just go off anywhere.”
Nico paused, eyebrow raised. “Why not?”
“I’ve been working there since…” Maki tried to remember her first job at the hospital, how old was she? She remembered sitting at her father’s desk, coloring in specially made anatomy chart pages in elementary school. Did that count as a job? “Forever.”
“Ah. Nico had to stick close for family too. Three sibs.” Nico flashed a smile and three fingers. “They’re the best, but they rely on Nico.”
“Your parents work a lot?” Maki understood that.
“Yeah, my mom does. My dad died when I was little.”
Maki paled, what did you say to that. “I’m sorry” came out as a mumble.
A sigh, weary, as Nico pushed Maki’s filled bowl in her direction, “Me too. But we survived. He taught me tennis. And…” Nico put on a sparkling smile, bounced her hands up to her temple, rock hands gesture, and her voice became brighter. “Nico Nico Ni.” Then she relaxed back to normal, “He said it could cheer up the whole world..”
Maki remembered something. “Nico Nico is the ideophone for smile.”
Nico leaned forward, “So the Nishikino isn’t just for show.”
Maki shook her head, “We have a hospital in Tokyo too. I’ve spent a lot of summers there.”
“Wow, a doc and a jet setter. So why tennis?”
“I liked it better than golf. My parents said piano didn’t count as a networking activity.”
“Piano? Classic stuff.” Nico created a melody on an air keyboard.
“Some. And jazz. I get to take a couple of music classes, at least this year.”
Nico wondered if Maki realized how robotic she sounded, and how laced through with sadness her mood was as she talked about her family.
“Hey, Nishikino…”
“Maki.”
“Maki. Play for Nico sometime. Nico loves singing. My dad always said I should go on American Idol.”
“Sorry.” Maki twisted a curl of hair, “I don’t play those kind of songs.”
Maki obviously just needed to know more about Nico, which was Nico’s favorite topic. “Nico is multifaceted. We can do Ella and Count Basie, if you want. With the time you save not practicing your serve.”
Nico winked, her multifaceted ruby eyes cheerful pulls as she hummed. Maki found herself intrigued. “I’ll think about it.”
“Nico will be your personal tennis coach to make sure you improve.”
“Not necessary.” Maki leaned back to signal the waiter. Time to start the main course.
A/N: Another AU Yeah August entry, college rivals was requested and the Olympics put me in a sports mood. Planning another chapter.
Still taking requests.

Day 29
Up early for my countryside bike tour with Grasshopper Tours. They’re a half a block away from my hotel so it’s easy. Grasshopper - like so many organizations here in Cambodia - have a great philosophy about giving back to the community, educating and being environmental.
Our guide is Hang. He’s been doing this about 8 years - as with many tour guides, he’s learned all his English from tourists.
Tumblr media
It’s incredible how quickly you can get into the countryside if you know your way around! Five minutes and we are on dirt roads with rice fields around us. The cycling is all pretty flat 👍🏼 but sometimes there are tricky steering maneuvers (tricky for me!)
Tumblr media
Hang explains that water buffalo are Cambodian’s bank accounts. He says they don’t save money in a bank but the water buffalo are there for when times get tough and they sell one. They’re worth about $500US apiece.
Cambodian society is also very matriarchal! Hang says women take care of all the money. A man has to give a dowry to the woman’s family when they are married. 😍
Tumblr media
We stop at a local market and try some local specialities. Most of them are deep fried. The one I like the best is called something like pigs feet - it’s savoury and vegetarian.
Tumblr media
We see fields of lotus growing. They’re grown for the flowers but also the seed pods which are edible. They have the texture of a peanut with a very mild slightly sweet taste.
Tumblr media
There are lots of duck farms and Hang says duck eggs are much more popular here than chicken eggs.
He says the rice fields attract rats (we see a dead one on the road) and the rats attract cobra! So they can be a problem for the farmers.
We also see a temple that is specifically for cremations. Here is it behind a rice field.
Tumblr media
These structures (pic below) are called “stoopah” (just phonetically) and each one holds the ashes of one family.
Tumblr media
We see monks nearby and a monastery. Hang tells us how quickly a family can go from being middle income to poor if things don’t go well. Not much of a safety net here. School is free but the things you need for school aren’t - books, uniforms, transportation to get there. So if a family is poor their children might become monks. It’s the community’s responsibility to take care of the monks and when they’re older, they can choose to leave if they want.
We get a nice rest break. We’re lucky it’s not a sunny day but the roads are very dusty. How perfect is this??! 😍
Tumblr media
Hang puts out fruit he got at the market - clementines, mango, bananas, persimmons. The owners of this place also fry up some snake and frog for us to try. Most of us try it! The frog is like chewy chicken. The snake is more the texture of fish - a very mild flavour. One guy from Hong Kong can’t stop eating it! He says the snake and frog in HK is all imported from Thailand and it’s not very tasty!! Who knew?!! 😳
Tumblr media
Here’s our group - 2 women from Malaysia, a couple from Mexico and 3 guys from HK.
Tumblr media
It felt so great to get out of the city! It was a great choice for the day!

What You Don’t Know About Fired 'The Intercept' Journalist: Ken Klippenstein Biography, Wiki, Age, Net Worth, Family, Facebook, Instagram and More
Tumblr media
Who is Ken Klippenstein?
Ken Klippenstein is currently The Intercept's 'national security reporter' who pranked several prominent conservatives on Memorial Day, using an old photo of Lee Harvey Oswald, the murderer of John F Kennedy. He tweeted a photo of Oswald in uniform and claimed he was his grandfather, leading to retweets from Matt Gaetz. The trio deleted those endorsements shortly after, but not before the internet took screenshots of the tweets, leading to massive trolling. I had no idea what this tweet was about, then google saved the day pic.twitter.com/c0BWnDwZgK — amir (@MustBeTheHero) June 1, 2021 How old is Ken Klippenstein? Ken Klippenstein is believed to be in his 30s. Ken Klippenstein Wiki Klippenstein is currently based in Washington, DC, but graduated from high school in Naperville, Illinois. Klippenstein then graduated with a BA from Wheaton College, before getting his first job in Wisconsin. Between 2010 and 2017, he worked as a reporter for RSN, and then joined The Daily Beast for a year. Then in 2017, he moved to The Young Turks, where he spent two and a half years. In 2020, Klippenstein moved to DC, first as The Nation's DC correspondent, but then joined The Intercept in 2021. He's well known for the use of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in his reporting. In 2020, he used FOIAs to report that the White House was warned in 2017 about being unprepared for a pandemic. He also uncovered the fact that the FBI had no information about Antifa being involved in the George Floyd protests in 2020, despite then-attorney general Bill Barr's claims.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Ken Klippenstein (@kenklipp) Ken Klippenstein Pranks But if there's one thing he's most famous for, it's his ability to prank conservatives. In 2019, he trolled Iowa Rep Steve King after changing his Twitter name to 'Steve King is a white supremacist'. Klippenstein tweeted a photo of Col Nathan Jessup, a fictional character from the 1992 hit drama 'A Few Good Men'. "Sir, can I get a retweet for my uncle Col. Nathan Jessup, he’s the Marines and spending the 4th overseas keeping our nation safe," he tweeted on the fourth of July. King took the bait, and retweeted Klippenstein's tweet, and said, "Colonel Jessup and all your Marines: God Bless you all. You have our back and millions of us have yours! God Bless America and all her warriors defending our Liberty! SK." Ken Klippenstein Elon Musk King deleted the tweet shortly after, but not before Klippenstein kickstarted a troll-fest, with several other users attempting to get endorsements for fictional military heroes. Klippenstein also trolled Elon Musk in 2020, and author Naomi Wolf in 2021. Now, he decided to troll several prominent conservatives.
Ken Klippenstein Matt Gaetz
Gaetz has become one of the internet's most popular punching bags, as the pro-Trump Congressman is in the middle of a sex trafficking investigation. This isn't the first time Klippenstein has pulled a prank on Twitter. In the past, he trolled Rep Steve King and former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell in a similar fashion. Klippenstein is more than your average troller, he's also a journalist. Klippenstein tweeted a photo of Oswald, who was in fact, a Private in the United States Marine Corps. He tagged Gaetz, Schlapp, and D'Souza in three separate tweets and said, "My grandpa's a big fan of yours and is a veteran, he would be thrilled if you could RT this photo of him for Memorial Day." "Here he is as a young private first class." Gaetz retweeted that photo with an emoji of the American flag while Schlapp said: "It's an honor to retweet this photo of a veteran on a day we remember his fallen friends. God bless your grandfather."
Ken Klippenstein Twitter
That got Twitter talking. One person tweeted, "Ken Klippenstein is my spirit animal for trolling the GOP with a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald in the Marines." Another said, "It's both amazing and depressing how current politicians can be duped into retweeing a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald as a soldier." lol ken woke up today and chose violence https://t.co/UwSi1kJfKr — shauna (@goldengateblond) May 31, 2021 Owens also found herself dragged into the controversy after she told Klippenstein "you do not photoshop murderers into their uniform".  Many users trolled her for her lack of knowledge, leading Owens to take down her tweets. Gaetz, D'Souza, and Schlapp have all deleted their retweets as well. .@kenklippenstein getting right wing nut jobs to retweet pics of Lee Harvey Oswald is the content in here for pic.twitter.com/8kcXYX7L87 — Ben Wexler (@mrbenwexler) May 31, 2021 Next Read: What You Don’t Know About Arrested Boston Celtics Fan: Cole Buckley Read the full article
