Glitra but it’s that one video

I can’t find the video anymore, but it’s the one where the guy makes an egg for his boyfriend for breakfast and tries to vacuum up the excess pepper only to suck up the egg. Anyone know what I’m talking about????

Anyways it’s that :)

“Well...fuck…” Catra glared at the pile of pepper that used to be a perfectly cooked egg. Of course this had to happen the one time she managed to get it literally perfect, a crisp bottom and runny yolk and stars she was so hungry!

Glimmer blinked at her from the garbage can, where she’d been using a butter knife to scrape the burnt parts of their toast off. Her eyes were unfocused as she held up one finger and put the toast on top of the fridge for some reason. “I gotchu.”

“Uuuhhhhh, okay? You had your coffee yet babe?”

The exhausted woman at the hallway closet responded with something. Either “not yet” or “dead bet” which, really, either one was fair. 

“And how much sleepy meds did you use last night?”

“Bwuh?” Glimmer emerged, somehow holding the vacuum even though Catra was sure she hadn’t dug it out. Maybe she’d used a pocket dimension, after learning how to pull things through a gap in space time she had been abusing it.

Catra quickly went to the coffee machine and started to make Glimmer a cup, because she loved her or something. Gross, she was getting all domestic. “Meds? How much?”

“Pfffffffft,” Glimmer essentially blew a long raspberry as she marched to the counter and got the vacuum plugged in. “Not much. New strain. Wait, why did I- EGG! Egg rescue!”

And before Catra could understand what was happening, Glimmer held the vacuum hose to the egg. For a split second she even thought, “Wow she’s so smart, this is gonna work!” before horrifying reality set in and the egg was sucked up into their home appliance. Glimmer stared at the plate and then the hose before looking to her girlfriend for help.

“UH!?” Catra’s brain stuttered, backfired, and finally rolled over, “W-water!”

She thrust the cup she was holding out and only once it was too late did she remember her water glass was on the counter as their vacuum sucked up a cup of coffee with cream and sugar. There was a long pause as they waited to see what would happen, before they both started to grin. 

If anyone had been there, someone would’ve stopped them. 

And they were going to take full advantage of this lack of foresight.

First they did the toilet paper roll, which was hilarious to watch spin as they sucked it up. Then Glimmer sucked up the broken spoon (Entrapta experiment, look don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to) they’d both been ignoring for their own safety. Catra was delighted when it took every single sock she fed it, one from each of Glimmer’s half socks she hated so much. Then Glimmer took it to suck up the puddle of water that was growing again on the patio before she started to vacuum up the loose dirt and soil they’d left yesterday after their failed re-potting attempt to save their lemon tree sapling.

Fare thee well Meyer, you were beloved but doomed.

Catra kind of lost track around the time they tried to vacuum up some weeds, but shortly thereafter the poor machine gave up the ghost and stopped with a pathetic wheeze. Glimmer pouted but at least seemed more alert as she shook the hose and then shrugged. “I hated that vacuum anyways.”

“...wait, waitwaitwait, was this your way of making sure we’d have to buy a new one?” 

Glimmer blushed horrifically and waved the hose around like a staff. “ExCuSE you! No! ...Not at first! Look, you are going to love the Serenity vacuum, it’s so highly rated!”

And sure, she did very quickly come around when she realized how easily it got her fur out of the carpet and how easy it was to maneuver around their weird shaped half-fixed furniture. (Look, the problem with learning to use pocket dimensions is all the failed attempts leave things a little brokenish and you need to respect that.) But also sure as shit Catra screeched when Glimmer threatened to see what they could blend before needing a new one, because she wanted a new one.

The answer turned out to be far more than she’d expected, except the super glue kind made it a moot point.
