𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 [+18] 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐰 𝐱 𝐟! 𝐩𝐫𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫! 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 [chapter two]

ʚ masterlist: part 1; part 3; part 4 ; part 5; final ʚ tw: MDNI. SEXUAL ABUSE INTENT (she is fine and safe). usage of drugs. medical terminology and treatment. violence. slow burn romance. If you need any type of support regarding these topics, please contact with someone who can help you. I am here to help you as a nurse and a woman.

𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐: 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬

A fist with the word DEATH inked on the knuckles, buries in your attacker’s face. It makes him fall back, letting you go almost immediately. You experiment everything as if it was happening in slow motion and the dizziness makes it difficult to stay still.

Your legs quiver and they fail you; but there are a pair of arms that don’t. Holding you in his embrace, he keeps you safe.

“Are you ok? (Name)-ya? Are you feeling ok?” he asks, desperately inspecting your almost limp body.

You take a quick look at your saviour, a goatee, caramel skin, golden earrings, and platinum stars per eyes. He is the guy who visited your booth earlier with his friend Bepo.

“I… I feel like I’m about to pass out… don’t- don’t leave me alone” you murmur, trusting your luck in yet another stranger. And then, lulled by the waves of dizziness and the sweet scent of his perfume, everything turns dark.

The tattooed man looks at the bastard, who keeps spitting blood right on the carpeted floor. Immediately, running, his three friends arrive with security personnel.

“I trust you all gonna be calling the police right now. This woman had been drugged and was about to be abused by that bastard” the tattooed youngster says, while carries you in his arms. “I am Dr. Trafalgar D. Law, will take her with me to my hospital. Send the police there, surgical department” he commands, while the security guards restrain the photographer.

As Law begin to walk towards the exit, he suddenly stops. He asks Penguin to hold you, and turning back he stands in front of the abuser. “And this, you fucking bastard, is over for you” he utters, grabbing the camera and throwing it to the ground.

He doesn’t care about the pleads of him. The camera seems new and expensive, and Law wouldn’t care breaking it a thousand times if it was possible. “Fuck you, bastard. I will do everything I can to send you to jail”

The car wasn’t waiting in the parking lot underneath the hotel, but right at the entrance. They have decided to go back, for just a single reason… a lost keychain of a polar bear plushie.

The doctor, called Law, drives away as fast as possible. He doesn’t really know what’s been inoculated in your system, so he needs to rush.

You have woken up, yet you are barely able to keep your eyes open. You discover a familiar face next to you; the kind albino guy who identified as Bepo a few hours ago. He immediately tells you about your situation, helping you to understand what happened to you.

“Don’t worry, (Name)! you remember me, right? I’m Bepo! Captain is taking you to the hospital, he is a doctor! You are ok, you haven’t been…” Bepo stops, the word makes him gag.

“You haven’t been touched, nor abused, (Name)-ya. I’m Trafalgar Law. You are being taken to the Grandline General Hospital to see what that bastard gave you” he says, surely, and sounding like a professional you could trust.

You feel your throat dry; your lips too. Your head hurts, and you notice your dress a little ragged but definitely in one piece. “Th-thank you, sir…”

The car stops right by the entrance of a huge white building. A red cross light reflects on the wet patches of the streets. It’s already very dark outside.

You shake off your grogginess for some moments, and when the door of the car opens for you, you let the cold breeze hit your face. It feels amazing, like a sweet kiss from a lover. And then, his arms, also completely tattooed extended to you.

“Let me help you, I brought a wheelchair” Law says, waiting for you to take his hand first.

You nod, with a subtle smile and probably hyper dilated pupils. Bepo and Shachi help you too, while Penguin crawls on the front seat to drive the car to the parking lot.

He begin to push your chair and inside the building you go. The white lights, blinding and sterile, hit your eyes. And the bustling sound of the people inside turns a thousand times louder in your head.

“Dr. Trafalgar! What happened?” a young black-haired woman arrives. She is wearing purple scrubs, and her eyes are as blue as the sky.

“She- she has been drugged… She- almost-“ he explains her, while both walk a little away from you. Suddenly he is no more that young shy man you have met back at the con; Law is now a doctor ready to save your life professionally.

They immediately come back, and the woman presents herself as Dr. Nico Robin. She grabs your hand, caressing it with perhaps the same delicacy as Law while you are being pushed to your cubicle.

The bed is comfortable, even while wearing your cosplay for the longest time. Your wig, however, is about to be ripped from your head by yourself. You can’t stand that long hairy thing over your shoulders a minute more.

And that’s when a colleague comes in handy. Bepo, who immediately thinks of how uncomfortable you must feel, offers to keep your stuff safe. “Give me your wig, (Name). I will put it safely inside of your bag” he suggests.

He owns a smile from you; you are absolutely grateful for having met this beautiful people. “Thank you so much, Bepo. Here…” you whisper, while taking it off quickly as the nurses want to take your pressure and connect you to a monitor.

When Bepo scrutinizes for a wig bag inside your backpack he founds a bottle of water. “Did you drink from this, (Name)?” he asks, showing the bottle to you and then to the doctors.

You nod; it’s true, you saved it.

Immediately, a nurse runs to the laboratory with the contaminated water. While Law and Robin discuss your vital signs and another nurse initiates an IV. Not ten minutes pass, that they already -and efficiently- discover the exact component of what you have consumed; GHB or Gamma Hydroxybutyric acid.

Law, sits down right next to your bed. The effects are slowly fading away and you are able to be more alert than before. Perhaps what they have passed through your IV is working faster.

Him, who is already wearing a white coat, looks as handsome as before. He crosses his long legs covered in jeans with a peculiar pattern of black spots and lends forward to you.

“(Name-ya), you had consumed GHB. We know it as “the rape drug”, and since it lacks color, odor and taste it gets easily injected or administrated. I believe that bastard probably have introduced the drug into the bottle in some way. You are ok, the effects will fade away after it clears up from your body” the handsome doctor, that a few hours prior was just another guy at the con, tells you. He did not just save you, but he is also still taking care of you.

You nod. Speechless. Your eyes become watery in less than seconds. And you extend your hand to his, grabbing it with a tender need.

Law gasps, silently. His pupils dilate and his eyes widen. He looks at your hand on his, at the way your veins protrude so slightly on the back of it, at the subtle shake of your muscles.

“Thank you, Law…” you murmur, still in shock but definitely more than grateful for having a tattooed angel by your side. “can I ask you for a last favour?”

Law, who has placed his hand on top of yours, doesn’t dare to let you go. Even him, feels amazed by his weird reaction. Women aren’t his specialty. Not even being in the ER. He is a cardiac surgeon trainee but knows very little about “heart matters”.

He nods, waiting for your request. At this point he is willing to do whatever you ask for. Even with your hair all tangled, half dressed as a princess but no wig… you still shine bright into his eyes.

“Can you pass me my bag? I need to give you something”

Law, who hesitantly lets go of your hand, stands up and searches for your bag. He walks up to you, with butterflies filling his stomach. He wants. No, he needs, to stop. Such situation feels like a monster ripping away self-control… everything in which he relies in his life.

Your hands graze, so soft. A poet could say it’s the sweet representation of your encounter, but that’s totally the opposite. Your paths have crossed in a violent, disturbing way.

While you scrutinize the interior of your bag, he remains silent. Law, inside, feels like a child waiting to receive a gift… but why?

“Here. I’m not sure who’s the owner, but I believe you will like it. I promise I will buy you something new to thank you whenever I’m out” you murmur, handing him the little polar bear plushie you found under the table of your booth.

Law receives the gift in his hands. His lips separate. He is unable to speak. He honestly forgot about it, but, wasn’t it that same charm what made him go back and save her?

“I- this… This is mine…” he mumbles, amazed.

You tilt your head; what does he mean? His?

“This is mine. This is my keychain. It was given to me by a dear person. I lost it and I came back to search for it… that’s why I found you-“ Law says, amazed. A subtle smile flashes for quite seconds, but then he remembers the reason both are in the hospital.

“Oh… I’m glad I picked it up, then. It’s really pretty” you giggle. His child like expression melted your heart, and just even for some time there is a reason to smile in your life. Maybe happy coincidences do exist, after all.

Law, takes a good look at the charm and suddenly extends his hand to you. “Take it. You will give it to me when you feel better” he says, awkwardly.

You blink twice, taking it to your chest. Maybe he is just a stranger, and yet he is still an angel. Maybe he already noticed your loneliness in this world. That’s why, then, he is giving you something dear to hold during a lonely night.

Some tears form in your eye. The more you press the little bear against you, the more you feel like caving in. Trembling lips are barely able to express a broken “thank you” before the first tear falls through your cheek.

You put your head down, trying to cover your façade with your hair. But Law notices it, almost immediately. Though, he takes some minutes to react. Is not that he didn’t feel the need to hug you that very moment, but… would that be ok?

“Don’t… don’t cry…” he murmurs, taking his E inked index to the corner of your eye. He delicately wipes the tear away. “I didn’t mean to…”

“No… Law… you- I… don’t worry please. It’s just that… you are being like a hero and now even taking care of me. You just said this is dear to you, and you are giving it to me…” you sniffle while trying to express yourself.

Law stretches to grab a paper towel and then hands it to you. He sits right next to you in bed, even if that would probably be considered unproper from a medical practitioner and overall, a total stranger.

“You showed me how much you took care of him. I trust you with it. You know, it has helped me through difficult times… do you… do you want me to call someone? You won’t be needing to stay the night” he says, perhaps believing all of this comes from being in such a cold and sterile room.

You wipe away your tears and then look at him. “Thank you so much, but… I don’t have anyone in this city. I will be heading to my hotel once I’m out… can you- can you tell me exactly which hospital is this? If you told me, I’m sorry, I can’t remember”

Law felt taken aback. Alone? In this city? “You can stay with me tonight, or I can stay with you at the hotel. Or, we can stay at the hospital if you feel safer” he says, shocking himself, once again, at the words that came out of his mouth with no filter.

You swallow. Honestly, trusting another man feels difficult. However, Law, has helped you in more than a way… he saved your life…

ㅤㅤ ㅤ “If it’s not much of a trouble, then, I’d like to stay with you ~”

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ …

“What is the Captain doing?” Bepo asks, from the door of the ER. “HE IS SITTING ON HER BED? WOW” Shachi chimes, giggling. “Guess prince charming saved his princess… let’s leave them alone. Just in case let’s stay at my place… tonight Law needs his house… empty” Penguin says, smiling at his brother and dragging his friends out.

Family Dance Party - Stephen Strange x Reader

This is probably one of the silliest things I’ve written, but I had a lot of fun with it lol (It’s the same Stephen & Y/N that’s in “Not So Bad” and “Inked Hearts,” but they’re all stand alone stories that don’t all have to be read to make sense.)

Paring: Stephen Strange x Sorcerer F!Reader

Word Count: 1,819

Description: Y/N and America decide Stephen’s been away too much lately, and come up with a plan to pull him into some family time.

Requested By: Anon

Other Things: Just silliness, family time, and domestic fluff.

Warnings: Some swearing. No MoM spoilers beyond the fact America is here. I’m also sick and running on barely any sleep when I wrote this in one sitting so it’s probably not my strongest editing work 😬

Masterlist

“Stephennnnn.”

“Hm?” He hums out in acknowledgment, his eyes not leaving the text in front of him.

“Stephen.”

“Hmm?” he flips the page with a frown.

“Stephen, look at me!” A hand reaches out to slam the tome in front of him shut.

His head jolts up to see his fiancé mere inches from his face, a big smile spread across her face, “I don’t think that was called for.”

She rolls her eyes as she grabs his hands to yank him from his seat in the library, “You’re coming with me Doctor, it’s a medical emergency.”

“There’s a medical emergency? Where? Who?” he asks as she tugs him along, his brow furrowed.

“You, with that stick so far up your butt. You never have fun,” America answers as she races into the entryway with a similar smile to Y/N. She takes his other wrist and continues to drag him across the building.

“I have plenty of fun,” he mutters, his tone softening as the two of them laugh and look back at him fondly.

“Name one fun thing you’ve done in the past year Stephen,” Y/N says, stopping in her tracks to let him answer.

“You,” he smirks as she becomes obviously flustered. “Many times actually.”

“DISGUSTING!” America shouts, making a gagging sound as she releases him to cover her ears.

Y/N turns to America, giving her a quick look, the teen runs off ahead of them as she starts pulling her fiancé along once again. “Traumatizing our child,” she sighs.

“She’s old enough, she knows there’s a reason our door is locked most nights,” he chuckles and quickly pulls Y/N back into his embrace. “What’s even the meaning of all this?”

Struggling out of his grasp she slips her sling ring out and opens a portal, “You’ll have to catch me and find out now won’t you?” And with a wink she’s through the portal and it’s shut behind her.

Sighing, he continues down the hall America had disappeared down earlier, assuming they’re probably in this together.

Stepping into the back room of the sanctum, he huffs in annoyance in the darkness, the light switch refusing to cooperate and his magic doing nothing.

“Darling, I know it’s you doing this, turn the lights on,” he calls out to the darkness, crossing his arms.

After a moment, stage lights of various colors all turn on at once, making him stumble back in surprise. Adjusting to the lighting, he sees Y/N standing under a spot light dressed in her outfit from the last of Stark’s parties they had attended.

Suddenly a warmth spreads along his body, and he glances down to see his own suit from that night now on his frame.

“Are you going to just stand there staring at me?” she calls out as his eyes continuing to roam over her. “I’d enjoy it a lot more if you joined me.”

Crossing the floor, he reaches her and bows his head, extending an arm out to her as he looks back up, “So what have you done to my music room?”

“That’s all you have to say?” she teases, taking his arm and sliding in close to him.

“Oh I have other things to say,” he comments looking her up and down once again. “But I’m just enjoying that part right now.”

Chuckling, Y/N flicks her wrist, another spotlight shines down across the room on America sitting next to a sound system with a grin.

The teen quickly taps away on her phone, and nods as she hits play on a song.

As the first notes of “A Thousand Years” come from the speakers, the two of them look at her with raised eyebrows, “This song?”

America shrugs, “Heard it in a movie recently, made me think of you two being together in like a million universes.”

Y/N turns to wrap her arms around Stephen’s waist, leaning into him as his arms wrap around her and they begin to sway around the floor.

“Guess we technically have loved each other for a thousand years then huh?” she asks softly, her head resting against his shoulder.

“I suppose we have, at least one year in a thousand universes,” he smiles down at her softly. “And you’ll love me for a thousand more?”

She hums in affirmation, “What’s one more year in a thousand universes? We’ve already made it what is it now… 9 years in this one?”

“Hopefully more than one year longer.”

“I’ll take as many as I can get Stephen, don’t worry about that. Worry more about getting sick of me,” she teases.

“Impossible, you’re the only one that can handle this life, I’d be an idiot.”

“You have done some dumb shit.”

“Granted. But I think I can manage this one thing,” his forehead presses to hers as he spins the two of them in a slow circle.

“Oh I know you can, and you know I don’t give in easily,” she responds with a kiss to the tip of his nose. “I said I’d always be here, and I will be.”

“You look stunning by the way,” he whispers, his hand trailing along her back. “Standing under a spotlight waiting for me, is this a trial run for our reception?”

“You could call it that, though we were calling it more of a family dance night.”

“Family dance night huh?” he asks, glancing up to see America watching them with a smile. “She’s a good kid.”

“She is,” Y/N agrees. “This was actually her idea. She was worried you’re being pulled away from me too often Doctor Strange.”

“She’s got a point,” he chuckles, one hand coming up to cup her cheek. “I don’t see you nearly as often as I would like.”

“As long as you always come back, I’m happy.”

“One way or another, you know I’ll always find my way back to you.”

As the song ends she presses a kiss to his lips, “Ready for the next part of this event?”

“And what would that be?”

She gives him a wink and snaps, the next song starting as America races over to them and pulls Y/N from Stephen’s grasp.

Turning to the teen, they clasp hands and spin around the dance floor, “Oh don’t you dare look back!”

“Just keep your eyes on me!” America continues as their chorus of giggles and orange sparks of magic go flying past Stephen.

Shaking his head at them with a grin, he glances down at his watch only to feel two hands grab him by the back of his suit jacket and drag him into their dance circle.

“Shut up and dance with me!” The two girls chant with the song, dancing around the sorcerer.

Y/N’s hands slip from America’s shoving Stephen into the teen who quickly grabs his hands and encourages him to spin around with her.

As the two dance around the floor in a variety of goofy moves, Y/N makes several orange sparkles fall around them as Stephen finally seems to get into the song.

After giving the two a minute of their own dance, Y/N waits for Stephen’s back to be to her before racing across the floor and leaping onto his back, arms wrapping around his neck as he utters a groan and pulls his fiancé’s legs up to wrap around his waist.

“You two are going to be the death of me,” he grumbles still with a smile as America continues to dance around the pair.

“Least you’ll die happy,” she hums happily into his ear, pressing a sloppy kiss to his forehead.

Once that song winds down, Y/N reluctantly climbs down from his back, watching as the sorcerer stretches his back obnoxiously. “I’m not as young as I was 9 years ago Y/N,” he defends as she shakes her head at him with a laugh.

Taking a step away from Stephen, Y/N grabs America and spins her into his arms. With a flick of her wrist toward the stereo system, ‘Forever Young,’ streams from the speakers as the two of them stand awkwardly amongst the colorful lights.

“Come on you two, it’s family dance night,” Y/N prompts with a smile. “Just you two.”

America finally shrugs and grabs Stephen’s hands, shooting him a big smile, “Ok old man, let’s see what you got.”

Raising a brow, he smile back and lifts an arm to spin her, “You’re on.”

As the music plays, Y/N sits happily next to the stereo, watching the two of them spin around the floor of the large room, pulling silly faces and random dance moves as they dramatically sing the song to one another.

“But whatever road you choose, I’m right behind you, win or lose,” he sings dramatically as America spins back into him. But instead of continuing to dance, she stares up at him instead.

Her arms wrap around his torso tightly after a moment, burying her face against his shirt. He wraps one arm around her and pushes her hair away from her face as she mumbles against the fabric.

“What’s that kid?” he asks quietly, and she looks back up at him with wet eyes blinking rapidly.

“I-I said thanks… dad,” she repeats quietly, searching his eyes.

Stephen’s eyes widen for a moment before a big smile spreads across his face and he hugs her tightly. “You know I’m always here for you America, whatever you need.”

“You’re smiling stupidly big,” she teases with her own big grin.

“Yeah, well, I’m happy alright?” he snaps back with no bite.

“So… it’s ok I call you that?” she asks hesitantly.

“More than ok,” he responds quickly, watching her smile even brighter.

The song comes to an end and the pair part, America rushing to Y/N, “He said yes!”

Y/N pulls her into an embrace with her own smile, “I told you he’d be fine with it!”

“Ahh, so you two were scheming over this?” he asks with a hum, wrapping an arm around Y/N’s waist, hand on her hip.

“When aren’t we scheming?” America challenges with a wink toward Y/N who returns it.

Stephen sighs dramatically and throws an arm across America’s shoulders to pull her into him and Y/N, “You’re both trouble.”

“I mean, you’ve chosen to marry a sorcerer that rivaled you in breaking rules, and a teenager that can create portals into the multiverse. Sounds more like you just like trouble at this point and therefore we can’t be blamed for your choices,” Y/N teases, reaching up brush his stray hairs from his face.

“I’d have it no other way,” he admits, pressing his lips to hers for a quick peck, then turning his head to press a kiss to the top of America’s head. “I love my girls as they are.”

Songs mentioned are “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri, “Shut Up And Dance With Me,” by Walk The Moon, and “Forever Young,” by Rod Stewart.

buzzer beater ❧ teaser [sungchan]

❧ word count: 1028 | full fic: 22.0k ❧ warnings: just cursing for the teaser, everything i know about hockey is from internet research for this fic i’m sorry for any inaccuracies i tried not to put in a lot of specifics lmao ❧ genre: fluff, gets quite suggestive (a heavy makeout scene/near sex scene) but no actual smut, college au, hockey captain sungchan, chronically ill reader (chronic migraines), halloween-themed at the beginning, sungchan’s not a frat boy but he’s like... a frat boy by association ❧ extra info: the ages/relative ages of the members in here are whatever i want them to be, don’t read into it too much. this is a very usamerican-centric take on a college au (greek life, collegiate sports, etc.) btw. also i call kunhang ‘hendery’ in here like it’s his government name for a one-line gag bc i think i’m hilarious (and i am <;3) the reader in this has chronic migraines, which i also have. when the reader’s migraines, experiences as a chronically ill person, and thoughts about being chronically ill are described, that is me writing directly from my own life. i am not a spokesperson for chronic migraines (lol) and am not generalizing the lives of all people with chronic migraines and chronic illness, as we are all different. but i am sending all my love to any readers out there living with a chronic illness, and here’s a reminder to go take your meds!! ❧ estimate release: saturday, october 14, 2023 2:00 p.m. eastern time

“Anyway, your turn,” you tapped his knee with your book before putting it back in your bag.

“For what?”

“To expand my horizons of you. All I know about you is that you’re the hockey captain, and a Bio major who took a gothic fiction class one time like three years ago. Show me you’re a multifaceted individual, too.”

“Uhm, that’s about it.”

“Oh come on, Sungchan.”

“No really, if I’m not on the ice, I’m in class; if I’m not in class, I’m with my team; and if I’m not with my team, I’m studying.”

“You’re here, right now,” you pointed out. “Last I checked I’m not on your hockey team, and we’re not studying. You have to do one thing that’s not for school or hockey. My thing was just watching Pacific Rim this one time, remember?”

“Alright…” he paused to think, fingers tapping along his thighs. “I used to play the piano.”

“Past tense, but I’ll accept it. When did you stop?”

“High school? Around when piano lessons and hockey practice started conflicting.”

“And you chose hockey?” You asked, hoping it didn’t sound judgmental. You really were just curious, trying to understand him.

“Actually, the choice was made for me.” He held his right hand out in front of you, and it was then that you saw his pinky finger was unnaturally crooked as he pointed to the digit. “I broke it in a game without even realizing it. Bruises and stiffness sometimes are normal so me and my parents didn’t know anything was up until weeks later when I was fucking up all the notes at my piano lessons because it still hurt. By the time I finally saw a doctor and got a splint on it, it set up wrong. All dexterity for piano out the window. Hockey on the other hand… guys have done a lot more with a lot less.”

You couldn’t help but curiously run a gentle fingertip over the crook in his pinky. “Does it hurt at all? Now?”

“Not really.” He went to bend and flex the fingers of his right hand, and you saw how the fifth finger didn’t curl up as much as the others. “It’s just a lot stiffer. Doesn’t bother me all that much.”

He brought his left hand up and wiggled the fingers on that hand. “Besides, I’m a lefty anyway.”

“So—apologies if this sounds like a stupid question to you, I don’t know anything about hockey—are there like, different hockey sticks for left-handed and right-handed players?”

Sungchan immediately broke into snickers, and you set down your mug to cross your arms over your chest indignantly.

“Hey, I didn’t laugh at you for not knowing what death of the author was—”

“I wasn’t making fun of you, I’m sorry,” he covered his mouth. “That was just… too cute. Uhm yes, there are lefty and righty sticks.”

You had to bite down your bottom lip to not smile at him calling you cute, and instead keep up your ruse of being offended. “I feel patronized.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” There was still a hint of a giggle in his tone, and you felt your self-righteous façade slip away as he continued, “You should come to a game, then, if you really want to broaden your horizons. The season just started. First home game is this Thursday, actually. 7:00 p.m. and students get free admission with your student ID.”

“Thursday?”

“Fridays are for basketball, Saturdays are for football.”

“Oh. Right.”

“You don’t go to those games either, do you?”

“Oh no, did I make it obvious?” You asked sarcastically.

“A bit,” Sungchan jested back.

Outside the window visible past Sungchan, the rain had let up a few minutes ago, and you briefly glanced over at your laptop for the time. Shit, your next alarm was going to be going off soon. If you left now, you should be home at roughly the right time for your next dose.

Clicking your tongue, you started packing up your things, “Well, looks like the rain’s finally let up enough to allow me safe passage. That’s my cue.”

“Oh.” The hockey player with you looked over his shoulder at the newly sunny day outside before turning back to watch you put your things away.

“Are you heading out too?” You nodded to his empty cup.

“I’ve uh, got some homework to do.”

“Guess this is where we part ways then.”

“Um, you didn’t say if you were going. To the game.”

You tucked your chin to your chest to hide your smitten smile as you put your laptop in your bag. Typically just asking for the details would’ve been taken for a yes, but Sungchan wanted extra confirmation. This boy wasn’t good for your heart, truly.

Turning back to him, you gave him a firm and nearly business-like nod. “Yeah, I’ll be there.”

A bright grin lit up his features. “Okay! Great! Uhm, feel free to bring some friends, I know just sitting in the stands by yourself might be lonely.”

“I’ll see if I can drag somebody else out. It’ll be a tall order, though. Literature majors, you know, we prefer our Shakesperean poetry readings.”

“Oh, well—”

“I’m kidding,” you laughed and stood then, slinging your tote onto your shoulder. “Honestly, have you seen Chenle at a rager? Boy can drink twice his body weight I swear. He shouldn’t, but he can.”

Before you could reach for your cup and saucer to buss your place, the hockey captain spoke up, “I’ll take care of your mug, don’t worry.”

“Oh, thanks, Sungchan! I’ll see you Thursday then.”

“Bye…” Sungchan trailed off, watching the door long after it had closed behind you.

He didn’t actually have any homework to do, and scrolled on his phone for a few minutes to make sure you were out of the area before leaving himself. He grabbed his long-empty plastic cup and your mug. His went in the trash, and as he went to put yours up with the other dishes and trays, his eyes were caught by the iridescent glitters left behind on the rim by your lip gloss.

Father!Allies X Parent! Reader

PS: I will be giving the kids their names, which will be ones that are common in that country or I thought they sounded nice.

PPS: I know this request was for headcanons but it was easier for me to write short paragraphs.

America:

Child’s name: Milo

“Ow!” Your husband shrieked, causing you to whip your head around.

You expected someone to be seriously injured, but no, the sight in front of you was simple. Milo, your son, had hit his father on the knee with a toy mallet a bit too hard.

“You have healthy reflexes!” The little boy giggled, his baby blue eyes gleaming, “Time for you memicine!”

Milo carefully dumped a small amount of green mystery liquid into a spoon. After finishing his work, the child shoved the utensil into his father’s mouth.

“O-Oh wow Milo.” Alfred gagged, “What is that stuff?”

“Sour slime candy!” He beamed, “And now the hero’s all better! But since this is America your medical bill is $34,000.”

Your husband’s confidence suddenly took him over again, jumping up and setting Milo onto his shoulders.

“The hero will save the day!” Alfred clamored, running around the living room with your laughing little son.

Canada

Child’s name: Addison

You were sitting on the couch, intently watching your husband and daughter bonding with one another.

“So patient, what hurts today?” Addison voiced with a fake serious tone.

“My knee, can you fix it Doctor Addy?” Mathew asked his daughter, glancing at his knee.

Your little girl grinned, “I can fix anything!”

“Now,” She continued, “What you will need is an aspirin.”

Quickly, the little girl broke character and ran up to whisper into your ear, “Don’t worry (mommy/daddy/parent idfk what you want your kid to call you) it’s not really aspirin.”

“Okay honey, I know” You chuckled, patting Addison on the head. She smiled again, and ran back over to her father.

Pulling a peppermint out of her pocket, she began to unravel the plastic covering the pinwheel patterned candy. She placed the candy into Mathew’s hand and watched him chew and swallow it.

“Oh wow I feel much better, thank you doctor!” Your husband applauded, shaking Addison’s itty bitty hand.

“You’re welcome!”

China

Children’s names (they’re twins): Jing and Feng

“Aiyah! Don’t torture your old man!” Yao shrieked, followed by the sound of your two children giggling. Worried about your husband’s well being, you speed walked into the kid’s bedroom.

On the floor, you saw Jing, your daughter and Feng, your son pinning their dad to the ground.

“Are you kids being nice to your father?” You inquired softly, being replied with giggly nods from the small children.

Feng stopped snickering for a quick moment to talk to you, “We’re playing doctor!”

“Yeah!” Jing piped, “And Papa won’t hold still, he won’t take his medicine!”

You shrugged, “Alright then, carry on.”

The twins smirked again, you watching Jing shove a tic tac down Yao’s throat. The man jumped up to his feet, and grabbed the kids by their torsos, beginning to tickle them, their laughs becoming even louder, in revenge for being little assholes to him.

England:

Kid’s name: Olivia

(Also the child has Iggy’s thicc eyebrows)

“Please Daddy!” Your e/c eyed daughter pleaded, clinging like a koala to Arthur’s leg, “We haven’t played doctor all week!”

The British man sighed, trying to walk to his office with an 18 kilogram meat baby on his leg. (Duh I had to say meat baby.)

“Dear, I would but I’m busy.” Arthur responded, “How about when I’m done?”

“But you’re never done with work until (Mummy/Daddy/Whatever your kid calls you) tucks me in at night!” Olivia whined, starting to cry, “I want to play with you!”

Your husband looked down at his little girl, who had tears pricking her eyes an a slight pout on her lip.

“Oh alright then love.” Arthur soothed, “Let’s play doctor.”

Olivia squealed and ran to grab her doctor kit, then motioning her father to sit on the ground. He obliged, waiting for whatever his child decided to do next.

“Hmm,” the girl began, looking at her clipboard, “It appears that you have ‘cranky and overworked’ syndrome.”

“Oh no!” Arthur fake gasped, “What do we do to make it go away?”

Your daughter grabbed her dad’s hand, “Well Mr.Kirkland, this is a very serious condition. But it can be easily healed with a heath bar and plenty of time with (the parent name you use) and I!”

Arthur sheepishly smiled, “Why thank goodness.”

“It’s great right?” Olivia beamed, “Well, time to take your medicine!”

She pulled a half-melted heath bar out of her pocket, and placed it in her father’s large palm.

With somewhat of a sigh, your husband unwrapped the candy, and chewed it as much as he could before swallowing.

Olivia’s wide smile returned, and she climbed into her father’s lap, nuzzling her nose into his cheek.

“I love you Daddy!”

France

Child’s name: Raphael

Francis was supposed to be at a world meeting that morning, but little Raphael had other plans. He practically begged his Papa to stay just a bit longer so they could play together. You knew Francis couldn’t say no to his little boy, mostly because he was a huge pushover but whatever.

“Say ‘ah’ Papa!” Raphael commanded his Father, you sitting on the blue couch near them.

Francis opened his mouth, your son shoving a popsicle stick down his throat.

The blond man gagged as you ran up and yanked the stick from Raphael’s hand.

“Don’t kill your father!” You yelped.

“I wasn’t trying to.” Raphael shrugged, looking back at the Frenchman.

“Time to take your medicine!” He cheered, pulling a Carmel candy from the candy jar he’d somehow gotten down from the kitchen counter.

After swallowing the candy, Francis ruffled his son’s hair, before walking towards you. Your husband kissed your cheek, and headed towards the door.

“Je vous aime tous les deux, je reviens à midi!” He shouted from the exit.

Russia

Child’s name: Dasha

“Oh no, Papochka you have radiation poisoning!” Dasha exclaimed.

“Wait how do you know about that?” You blurted, “Actually, you’re your father’s child, why am I surprised?”

With a shrug, Ivan sighed, “What are we gonna do about that?”

“Well, I can give you medicine, but you’ll still die anyway.” Dasha replied with an uncanny smirk.

She handed her father a small wrapped candy, watching him open it and plop it onto his pink tongue. Your husband made a face of disgust and looked back up at his child.

“Даша, что это?” He coughed, still gagging on whatever he’d eaten.

“It was toxic waste!” Dasha laughed like a maniac before stopping, “Now pretend you’re dead.”

Dramatically, Ivan dropped to the ground, you rolling your eyes at the sight.

Like father like daughter I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

————————————————————

Sorry the last few stories were kind of bad, I just left a Halestorm concert and I’m tired as shit. In all fairness, it was incredibly entertaining.

Chamomile Comic Trivia #31

#159 - Notice

It's Sam! I wish I had written down more about my decision to add her, although at this point I'm fairly sure I wasn't certain she was going to become a main character - in fact it was RIGHT around the week this posted that I began work on the first proper cover art for the series which of course did not include her.

Her design was based off this old one-off pin-up girl art from 2017, technically making her the first ever major Chamomile Comic character to exist, sort of.

She was named after Sam Lloyd, likely known for his portrayal of Ted the Lawyer from Scrubs. The news of his death had recently broken and I had just recently begun listening to Fake Doctors, Real Friends, the Scrubs rewatch podcast, as my go-to background entertainment when colouring the comic specifically each week. It still is now, albeit intermittently since they don't always produce an episode each week and I no longer have a backlog to catch up on. Now granted, I don't love the podcast as much as I used to - can be a bit cringey at times as these two hollywood actors chat about utterly unrelatable anecdotes from their lives - but it's overall been enjoyable and it'll be weird to find something new to accompany my colouring if it does come to an end or stops being enjoyable once they permanently pivot into... whatever they plan to do after they run out of Scrubs episodes. It's been part of my colouring process for the comic for longer than it hasn't been now, haha. So... yeah it felt right to honour that connection to my comic with Sam's name, on top of the fact that Scrubs is just straight-up one of my favourite TV shows and Ted was always a character that gave me big laughs.

Of course... I realised after that I'd introduced yet another character to the comic ending in "-a"! ...But whatever, it's a common thing. Not so long ago I had 5 co-workers simultaneously whose names also ended in -a, lol.

The decision to have had her always be around simply came from not having any strong ideas to introduce her and preferring the idea that at least some of the cast already knew her. The gag's been done before, but I thought it'd be extra funny to introduce her with a scene in which she is specifically announcing her departure from being a regular face in Cammie's life, which typically would mean the same for the audience in most works with actually established characters.

Final little bonus note - in panel 1, Cammie once again is entering with a handful of steaming coffee.

#160 - Official

I didn't really mean for it to be so small it's barely legible at web size, but the little sign on the panic alarm button behind the till says "Real emergencies only Cammie!", in reference to #50.

#161 - Before

All that Scrubs talk regarding Sam is kinda fitting, because they did the "this character was always here!" gag there too. For their one, they edited her in on various memorable shots and pretended the main character didn't notice her being present, here I obviously extended the frame on the end of several punchline panels from previous comics.

Here's a gif that shows the original panels compared to the new ones, showing both the new and old art isolated as well so you can see exactly what I drew to extend the older panels which naturally weren't drawn originally knowing that I would one day be extending them!

The second of the three Sam flashbacks is just a nice little bridging one, but it did take me a while to decide for sure which way around I wanted the first and third flashback panel. For the first: while there's been a little bit of mild bad language in the comic once the seal was broken here, Sam's "bitch" is the first time such language has appeared so it amused me to place it in a scene that has already happened long ago just barely outside of the audience's perspective. For the third: the joke is of course that the reveal of Sam's additional dialogue is particularly adding nothing to the scene whatsoever - like, as if Cammie making a fool of herself would even be remark-worthy at this point. I felt both these two goofs had a good punch to them in their own way so yeah, I remember being conflicted over whether I had chosen the funniest possible flow of these three gags.

Of course, the final joke of this one, in case it wasn't obvious (I could see it being subtle for some), is that Mimi's whole running gag is she's a side character who also has existed in the comic for long before her first on-screen appearance, yet Cammie never remembers her.

#162 - New

The art and dialogue structure of the first two panels here is identical to #160. I think it being a time-saver on my workload for the week was definitely a factor - for whatever reason I needed it at the time - but I also remember going for something with that choice beyond just that... But I can't for the life of me remember what. I don't think the parallel between the two comics adds anything reading them back now.

Anyway here's Newt! I really thought at the time that he was going to be as significant an addition as Sam, and I did come up with the idea of introducing a regular male character at the time I chose to bring Sam in, with Sam's introduction - and exit - being an amusing way to introduce a surprise new character.

...Then I proceeded to never really get any super strong story ideas for him lol. More detail on that in a second. I haven't forgotten him though, frustrates me that he keeps getting sidelined!

#163 - Training

Standard behind-the-scenes retail frustration humour here. I can neither confirm nor deny how much is based on my current employment. A little detail of authenticity/flavour is that they're watching a DVD intended for widescreen on an old non-widescreen TV that's clearly been in their staff room for at least a decade. Such was the case for my painful training videos too! (It's all online now as of a few years into when I started, so some progress has been made I guess).

#164 - Huh

It's not made clear yet, but the new status quo that Sam is a receptionist at a primary school is established here - the coloured hanging letter signage on the wall that is too perspective'd to read says "WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL".

I chose this as a job for her based simply on the fact that my Mum has often worked in school offices for most of my life. She wasn't a receptionist but it was the sort of job where I have some... vague enough memories of the "behind-the-scenes" enough to draw something along those lines when I needed to show Sam at work.

Getting back to Newt, obviously the goof here is that Cammie is just being a sore loser about her friend leaving and Newt is about the most cool-sounding interesting person you could imagine meeting. Unfortunately that involved specifically coming up with fun sounding stuff that are not super common to do or know people that do, so despite the super interesting combo of cave-diving, stand-up and polyamory these are all things I feel like I'd have to do thorough research on to represent in the actual comic accurately... which is something I'd like to do but, time is finite and I have so much pre-existing experience with being a silly nonsense person. Would you believe it, there's another character in the comic for whom that experience lends itself very well!!

Speaking of whom, the first appearance of the bell on the door in Repeat 1 Records was only a month after Cammie got the job. She works fast!

AU Fic Game

Finally home after a stupidly long day of work. Let's see what my tired brain is able to come up with...

Thank you for tagging me, my darlings: @creepkinginc , @shinygalaxyperson, @energievie, @juliakayyy

rules:

use this au generator to assign you an au, this fan fiction trope generator to give you a trope/situation/sometimes another au, feel free to keep clicking until you get something that inspires you.

then try to come up with the title, plot, vibe, and details of a fic including whatever the generators gave you. you don’t actually have to write it, just put the concept into the world! this is basically just a thought experiment.

AU Generator: Criminal Minds Setting AU

Fanfic Trope: Write a story about one character being a human and the other being a ghost haunting them.

Title: The Milkovich Effect (based on "the Reid effect" in Criminal Minds)

FBI agent Mickey Milkovich worked his ass off to be in this position he never ever thought he'd find himself in. An agent with the BAU hunting those, he thought he would end up as himself. But instead of becoming a serial killer unde rhis father's thumb he'd carrying a badge now and rocking some tight black slacks and black shirts. Always. Exclusively. If you catch him on a good day, he might even throw on a well tailored suit jacket and sunglasses.

the real star is the thigh holster though. Because even though Mickey works mainly with his mind, in understanding people who commit cruel crimes, he also really enjoys just working through his frustrations sometimes... he gets in trouble for it. But he's also fantastic at his job, so his boss lets some things slide.

They have a running gag about "the Milkovich effect". It's basically the reverse Reid effect. Where children and dogs react weirdly to Reid, they flock to Mickey. As if they know he understands them, they just trust him. Soon Mickey will find out the effect also affects some other vulnerable entities....

in comes a call from Chicago. A serial killer is hunting pretty boys in Boystown. He soon gets the name "The Gentleman Killer". He always leaves his victims in hotel rooms and not alley ways. He doesn't leave marks on their bodies and covers their eyes with silk scarves and leaves a tip on their body.

There have been four victims when the BAU gets called in. When Mickey arrives in the city he always dreads visiting he gets partnered up to visit the newest crime scene with victim no.5. His name is Ian "Curtis" Gallagher. A dancer and bar tender down in boystown. Mickey barely can catch a glimpse at him when one of the technicians cry out that the victim still has a pulse.

Ian gets rushed to hospital. He's a fighter. He's in a coma but Mickey doesn't know. He expects that the guy, who's name he doesn't know since he had no ID with him, won't make it.

He knows he definitely didn't make it when he wakes up to a weird ginger looking... thing in his hotel room. He screams. It's embarrassing. but hey... there's a fucking ghost in his bedroom!

Ian follows Mickey around everywhere. Looks at evidence, asks questions, visits family members to question them. Uses his floatiness to look through people's stuff without a warrant.

Basically he is super annoying and super helpful and Mickey and his silvery shadowy somehow grow closer. Share their stories with each other. Ian thinks he's probably dead too.

Maybe makes Mickey feel guilty so he visits Ian's family and gives them some last messages...

They solve the case in the mean time of course. A doctor named Lloyd, going by Ned, gets arrested for being "The Gentleman".

As a goodbye present Mickey goes to visit the Gallaghers. He realizes he knew Ian as a kid. He also realizes he somehow, kinda, has the hots for a ghost? Who very surely watched him sleep and get off? Maybe some weird ghost shivery touching happened?! Hm... anyway... Mickey finds the Gallaghers sad and stressed out. He gets shouted at. Punched by Lip. Followed by driven to the hospital by Debbie who shows him that Ian really isn't dead and he's the one victim who didn't die at the hands of Lloyd Lishman.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck

Ian has a meltdown and touches his body which causes him to jerk and sputter and... wake up??!

aaaaaand he looks at Mickey and... Mickey touches his hand and he's real aaaaand that's the end.

I'm tagging: @michellemisfit, @ian-galagher, @surviving-maybe, @vintagelacerosette, @suzy-queued, @ardent-fox

Sitcom AU

Sort of thought of some things for how @sadsoftserve ocs would fit into the Sitcom AU along with some other thoughts. Keep in mind that stuff I'm about to say about Sadsoft's OCs only applies to this AU unless she says otherwise. Also she has full permission to end my life in the event I say something she doesn't like.

Sabrina is like Mera in the sense that her epithet negatively affects her in a much more purely comedic sense than trauma. A running gag would be Sabrina mentioning very bizarre nightmares that she has. Sylvie and Sabrina are both working on getting into good colleges and are sort of competing on who gets their acceptance letter first. Bonnie's mom is not in a coma, hooray! But Bonnie will still not hesitate to throw hands. Bonnie's dad is still in jail and is still a terrible person. I know I first said that sitcom AU kinda waters stuff down but even in sitcoms nothing is perfect. Parker lives with her parents but they still have a hard time handling her ADHD and often drop her off at Percy's house without warning. Percy doesn't mind, Ramsey does sometimes. Oh right, Ramsey and Percy are married. Yup 100% married and they kiss and stuff. Parker realizes this makes her and Bonnie cousins and is super excited about it. Bonnie is fine with it and accepts it in stride. Sabrina pretends that she doesn't feel sort of left out by this. Parker would randomly blurt stuff out like"You're better than my parents, you guys should have kids." and Sabrina and Bonnie would remind her that she can't just stay stuff like that. Eventually, Percy and Ramsey do end up having twin boys. The doctor somehow missed the second baby until Percy started popping him out. Their names are Booker and Patrick. Booker has red hair and blue eyes while Patrick is blonde with yellow eyes. Sadsoftserve has made art of the babies.

SadSoftServe has confirmed

Ramsey has to deal with Parker AND Diane trying to take his babies. Diane spoils her great nephews excessively and has bought them many expensive gifts. "Oh, I have already paid for their college." "What do you mean you paid for their college, they are babies!?" Diane's bar would be a common location visited in the Sitcom AU. Diane would find Rick in a dumpster in the back, and bring him inside Then when she isn't looking Martin walks in, looks at Rick, and thinks "He could work at the toy store" Then when Diane turns around Rick is gone. The sitcom AU is the result of Zora using all of her stamina all at once and she permanently distorted the time-space continuum. Just joking! Zora is still the number one bounty hunter but she's not a terrorist at least. She's worked with Percy before. She still harasses Ramsey and has joked about practicing juggling using his babies. Ramsey and Percy do not find the joke funny.

is there any masterposts on easter eggs or some analysis on good omens s1?

im rewatching it and i want to be more aware of the little hidden things

Ooh I don't know of anything but @fuckyeahgoodomens might have something!

Some that I can think of off the top of my head:

You can see Terry Pratchett's hat and scarf in Aziraphale's bookshop

The guard at the airbase is reading American Gods

Crowley's license plate is NIATRUC which is "curtain" backwards and a reference to a scene from Monty Python

Arthur Young's license plate is SIDRAT or "Tardis" backwards and he addresses Crowley as "Doctor"

There's a number of little tells that Aziraphale and Crowley aren't who they appear to be at the end of episode 6, I think

I think there's a set of Just William books in Aziraphale's reconstituted bookshop which iirc was one of the inspirations for the Them/Adam parts

Neil Gaiman is sleeping in the movie theater when Crowley is there

I think there's various times where you can see some of the other Agnes Nutter prophecies onscreen

This isn't an Easter egg but in the Globe scene if you just listen to Hamlet doing his monologue, I'm pretty sure he's repeating lines: he does the part starting "for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil" twice. Also, Shakespeare calls him "Burbage" who was the star player of the Lord Chamberlain's men and the original Hamlet.

When Newt is introduced, the camera malfunctions a bit in apparent reference to his technological curse.

Newt's scene at his new job is filmed in a camera style similar to "The Office." Also I THINK but I'm not positive that the group doing management training at Tadfield Manor is the same as the company Newt gets fired from.

The movie "Witchfinder General" is playing on the TV in the background of Crowley's meeting with Shadwell

I think everyone knows this but the use of Queen songs is a nod to the book which has a running gag that all cassette tapes left in a car for more than 2 weeks become a Best of Queen album

Also not really an Easter egg but in the book the third baby DOES survive and have tropical fish and he's a minor character named Greasy Johnson! JUSTICE FOR GREASY

You can see Elvis in...I think the restaurant Famine is in? As a reference to the conspiracy theory about Elvis still being alive (in the book Death also comments that he never took him)

There's a TON more though I know, so if anyone has a link to a full list, chime in to help anon!

This was written for @inkyquince Omega Hunt Collab. Landry's will be posted later at some point. Also Defiant PC, give me angry Omega.

Heat was pooling in your gut and sweat was pouring down your body. Your legs felt like jelly and were trying to give out on you, but fear pushed you on despite it all. You had been snagged by a beta beforehand and fought tooth and nail. Adrenaline allowed you to kick them off, but sadly, they ruined your clothes. You are sure you can last if someone else attacks you.

Spitfire and spite were the only things able to keep you going while your instincts wanted you to find someplace safe and make a nice and comfy nest and wait for a nice and strong beta or alpha to come and fuck and claim you. Heh, Not a fucking chance. You're not going to let any of these sick bastards touch you, let alone look at you.

Before the Hunt you had heard rumors that the hospital could be a sort of safe haven. It was always open in case of emergencies and tonight was no different. Though you had to get an appointment. Surely it wouldn’t be easy, but it was better than the woods with wolves ready to attack as well as that damn hunter on the loose, and with the added freaks of the town snooping around.

Crawling through the alleyways while quivering and shaking and doing your best to control your scent. You made it to the hospital and sure enough, there were a few people hanging around, some of them smoking, making it hard to trace their scents. You weren’t sure if they were part of the Hunt but you’re not taking the chance. You slipped through the landscaped bushes and flowers and found a side entrance without any eyes around and snuck through the fluorescent lit hallways to Harper’s office, a place you knew sadly too well. His name is engraved on a plate right next to the thick wooden door. You pulled out a hair pin. You had learned to always wear them in case something like this happened and then tried to pick the keyhole once you found it locked. Try as you might your hands and legs were trembling far too much. Had what they sprayed you with finally caught up to you and made you useless? You collapsed on the ground and felt far too hot. The door opened and Harper looked down at your nude, trembling form.

“Oh my. I didn’t expect to see you here.” His voice was just as calm and cool as it always was. You had only known him as a beta, someone who wasn’t overly affected by Omega pheromones like Alphas were. He was a doctor. Surely he'd help in some manner. So, with confidence, you held onto his white coat and whimpered.

"Sprayed me with something… started coughing and feeling hot. H-heat…" You wanted to be more clear but you found yourself drooling before you could finish explaining everything. Even your legs betrayed you as Harper had to hold you up.

“Calm down. You're in safe hands now. Let's sit you down and get you something to wear, shall we?” He’s tugged you over and sitting you down in the examination chair just as he sat in his, handing you a patient gown. He pulled your records up as he listened to your whining and panting. It was wonderful, and your smell was fucking delicious. Despite you knowing him as a beta, he was an alpha. He hides his characteristics using scent blockers. It’s a natural thing in the medical field to make visitors comfortable, but he always hid his secondary gender. He didn’t want it to affect his work or, more importantly, his experiments. But now that he had you here during this night, he could run some new ones. After all, omegas are a rare breed and nearly impossible to get as a subject like you, especially one that's unmarked and practically crying and whimpering at his knees.

“Okay, let's take a look at you.” He gently looks over you, letting his touches linger longer then they might have to. His stethoscope is freezing against your hot skin. He used his mediscope to look into your throat, even taking a swab and watching you gag on it. He had to hold a smile back on that one as you glared at him. As much as he wanted to shove his cock right in there, he knew he had to wait. He wanted to wind you up like a spring until you practically exploded. It's a delightful game that you didn’t even know you were playing. He asked you what you knew about what was sprayed at you and listed some heat-inducing chemicals that could be the cause, but his voice started to fade and all you could focus on was those lips and teeth of his as he spoke.

He sent the swab to be tested even though he knew exactly what you had been sprayed with. And he was surprised to see how long your trembling body was holding out. What a solid will you have. As he went to leave, you couldn’t take it anymore. You grabbed onto his coat again and panted.

“D-Doctor… Harper… I can't take it anymore.” You couldn’t help the drool falling out of your mouth as you pulled his addicting body heat closer. “Fuck me.”. And those were the words he wanted to hear. A sinister and delighted grin wormed over his face, and he leaned in and kissed you. Tongue sliding in as he tasted you. You tasted better than he could imagine.

He pushed your gown up and licked his lips at your quivering and aroused form. He rubbed your thighs with gloved hands and lightly stroked your sex with a single finger. The moan you gave him was exquisite, so he keeps stroking to get more out of you and gets you wanting more. He strokes slowly but more firmly, and each time you buck into his hand, he can feel himself getting so much harder and his instincts scream louder and louder. You beg and bumble for more. Well, if you asked for it, you wanted it.

He shrugs off his coat and unbuttons his trousers, pulling out an impressively large cock. You might have seen a few dicks before, but the base seems a bit swollen...

"See how your omega pheromones are affecting me? You're releasing so much that the knot is already starting to swell. You know what kind of cock this is, right?"

If the swelling wasn't enough of a tell, the scent blocker he was wearing was rubbing off. The words melted out of your mouth as you held your arms open to him. "Alpha."

"Correct, very good.” His dick was twitching and already looked painfully hard already and leaking with precum. “Now then. If you could, please present yourself. Hips in the air.”

You comply, turning around so your chest is pressed against the paper of the examination table as your ass was up in the air even wiggling unconsciously wanting to look nice for this alpha. You could hear him chuckle, a fond and breathy chuckle, as he adjusted your hips.

“You’re positively dripping. What a mess.” You looked behind him to see him pulling out medical blue gloves and pulling it on one hand and rubbed his thumb along your slick hole causing you to gasp out and push back. He grabbed your hip with his free hand. “Stay still.” giving your ass a tight squeeze and watching the meat of your ass squish around his fingers as he continued to tease your slick lubed entrance, never pushing in.

“Never mated before?”

“N-No.” you huffed back with as much as your lungs would allow.

“Have you used toys during any of your heats before this?” His voice was still just as cool as before. Annoying the shit out of you since you were all whiny and out of breath and he seemed just fine.

“Is that really important?”

“As your doctor, it’s important to be honest so I can treat you properly. We don’t want you to get hurt.”

“Y-Yes…”

“Good, it’s important to listen to your body. Omega heats can last much longer if they don’t stimulate themselves with penetrating toys.” His fingers slowly pressed into your hole and started slowly at first and you let out a long high-pitched groan you didn’t even know you could make.

Harper took way too long for your tastes as he fingered you with an increasing number of digits. You moved your hips back to match his pace, but it wasn’t enough, even when his dexterous digits hit some really nice spots. You both know you won’t be satisfied until he shoves his cock inside you and knots you up. You can smell his scent leaking through the blocker he used. You grinned, knowing that he was just as affected by you as you were of him.

You decided to drop the title. “Harper- come on now. Damnit, I’m going crazy.” You wiggled your hips at him and you could see his face flush and his eyes dilated while focusing right at you. You even stuck your tongue out for good measure.

“What a rascal.” He pulled your hips to his and began grinding his cock against your hole, causing you to mewl in want and quiver as you ground your hips into him, trying to get him inside you as quickly as possible. "Are you ready?"

You screamed at him, “Yes!" and without hesitation he shoves his cock deep into you with a soft squelch from your slick. And now that he was finally inside the omega that had been flooding the room with thick heat pheromones, he couldn’t hold back. He pushes your neck down putting pressure on your sensitive scent glands and shoving your face into the examination table harder.

He fucks you like an animal. His massive alpha cock impales you, and the stretch hurts so good that your instincts push you to grind your hips deeper into his. The sounds of slapping and squelching as he drove himself as deep as he could into you as possible.

You shook and shivered as he filled you up completely and fully. And you could feel his knot hitting your rim, not fully penetrating yet. You drooled all over the examination table. Harper’s gloved hand slipped around and you could taste your own slick in your mouth as he played with your tongue. You sucked on his gloved fingers, weakly grabbing his wrist as your alpha’s skin slapped against yours. The pace quickly picked up faster and faster and you were seeing stars as Harper's hand was the only thing you could focus on.

Soon you could feel the build of orgasam finally reaching its ending point as sweat poured from the both of you and Harper’s hand moved to grab your wrists and pull you back as he leaned down pressing his chest against your back bit your shoulder just missing your scent gland and came while stroking your sex to finish you off as well.

You came as his knot inflated, catching your rim and hot cum filled your insides. It felt like molten lava despite how hot you felt and he just didn't stop cumming. With every twitch of his cock inside you you were pumped with more and more semen to where it felt like you were bloated. You collapse as Harper lets you go.

Your body is spent quivering as the knot keeps you linked together. You can feel his heartbeat through his dick and it’s racing as he pants above you. His hot breath smells like spearmint and blows over your neck right over your scent gland.

“What an exciting opportunity...” His voice was low and gravely, befitting of an Alpha and you couldn’t help feeling the pleasant vibrations of his voice relax you. “I’ve heard the rumors and claims of what certain pairing connections can do…”

Drunk off your alpha’s scent and cum you just shifted so he had better access to your neck and softly grunted. This had worked out splendidly.

Now, normally he’d be home at this time, only coming in case of emergencies. But he had to 'stay late' looking over some files. He made sure to keep his light on for you, and soon enough he could hear the shaking on his doorknob and the stink of omega pheromones, overly sweet from a heat, but the unmistakable scent of bitter fear and your own personal hint of allspice. He thought it was fitting for a rebellious soul like you.

He knew you'd hear those 'rumors' completely untrue but enough to gain your interest. He had no doubt you'd be able to get your way here. Still, an impressive feat due to how hard that concoction can hit Omegas. You were a feisty one and would rip apart just about any Beta that might try their luck with you.

Perhaps fate is a much more tangible idea than he initially anticipated? It was something he had always wanted to study, explore the possibilities that the bond had. Regardless he had one more thing to do before he could begin the tests. His fingers stroked your neck and he breathed right into your ear.

“Would you like to be my guinea pig, little omega?”

And you purred at being called his and shuffled with a huge grin as you dipped your neck in a submissive gesture, offering him your scent gland.

–chomp

Similar Story (and Romance) to SOLDIER!Cloud dynamic in 90s Shounen Manga

Final Fantasy VII is more than the Love Triangle. And luckily for me who grows up with many 90s manga, I find this similarity so I know which pair is the canon one. Yep, I want to share a similar dynamic to SOLDIER!Cloud without having an alien cell in your body. This comes from a 90s soccer manga that won Kodansha Awards for best shounen, the title is SHOOT! The manga was ongoing in 1990-1996 (37 volumes) but it also has one prequel, two sequels, one spin-off, anime adaptation, and a live-action movie.

The main focus of the first title is about the main character becoming the legend's successor/legacy.

left to right (as I would mention their name here): Kamiya, Kubo, Kazuhiro, Kenji, and Toshi

Toshihiko Tanaka (16 yo) was an ace in Kakenishi Middle School’s Soccer Club. Along with his best friends, Kazuhiro Hiramatsu (winger) and Kenji Shiraishi (goal keeper), they study in Kakegawa High to join the soccer club because they admire the captain, Kubo Yoshiharu (17 yo).

Kubo is a talented player with a bright future. He joined a junior team of a soccer club in West Germany (Frankfurt? I forget) when his parents worked there. As Yoshiharu family returned to Japan, many schools want to recruit him but he prefers to be the founder of his own team in a school that had no soccer club. It's also a bit controversial since he invited a troublemaker player named Kamiya Atsushi to establish a team together from zero. Well, his character is those who could see other people's potency and encourage them. He's also an idealist and values freedom that no one can dictate him and his team (that's why he doesnt wanna join famous high school soccer club). In his first year, the underestimated team reached the semi-finals of the prefecture qualification that inspired Toshi. In a short, Kubo is someone Toshi look up to and want to be. But Toshi is just an awkward dork who is even insecure towards Kazuhiro's talent. Though, Kubo notices Toshi's hidden strength in his left leg and gives him special training.

Toshi has a crush on the club's manager and classmate, Kazumi Endo, but he is too shy to show it. And since volume 01 show Toshi impressing Kazumi on the cover, we've known that they're love interest here. Meanwhile, Kubo has a girlfriend he has been dating since first grade, Minako Kitahara. Whenever Kubo is surrounded by journalist and/or his fans, Minako would take Toshi's hand and drag him to accompany her in the cafe like going on a date. Kazumi herself are close to the Trio Kakenishi but she's jealous of Minako who is playful with Toshi. I need to note that Kazumi is a delinquent girl and usually end up bickering with Toshi. Though, the anime adaptation turns her to be Trio Kakenishi's childhood friends and portray her more sweetie. In short, the manga is less romantic than the anime adaptation if that's what you seek. But the manga has many running gags that would make you laugh out loud.

Snippets of the "love square" lol

In summer tournament, Kakegawa High meet a difficult opponent at the prefecture semifinal. The team is behind by score 1-2 and almost desperate. Seeing that, Kubo then makes what public would call it "legendary goal." He does a goal to goal by passing 11 opponent players to make a draw 2-2, giving the team hope. He collapses after that and trusts Toshi to make the winning goal in the last 10 minutes with the deadly shot Kubo has trained him, "meteor shot". The team wins their first prefecture semifinal and surpasses the last year achievement.... but they lose their beloved captain.

Kubo dies the way he lived; loving soccer and playing it with all his heart. He didn't tell anyone on the team (even to Kamiya, his best friend, and Minako, his girlfriend) about his leukemia, he didn't listen to his doctor to stop playing soccer, and sometimes he cried alone in the club room knowing his illness could take his life anytime but he doesn't wanna give up on his dream. That goal is his greatest accomplishment but it also gives you a glimpse of just how far he could've gotten in soccer if he wasn't ill. Who lose him is not only his team, but also his rival, and the public who wanna see his career in national team. Still grieving, the team couldn't play properly in the final right the next day and lost by a score 7-1. The smile Kubo gave Toshi right before the semifinal match and asked him "Toshi, do you like soccer?" is something he would never forget.

Their summer is over, with the hole left by Kubo's death. (Vol. 08)

Minako is praying for Kubo from the tribune. Anyway, watch Kubo's legendary goal and last stand here --> (anime) (live action)

The team slowly moves on and prepares themselves for the winter tournament. Kamiya is the captain now. But when Toshi is given Kubo's jersey, number 10, he doubts himself and feels the weight is too heavy for carrying Kubo's legacy. Kamiya tells Toshi this is Kubo's desire, that he has prepared Toshi to be his legacy. But Toshi is too nervous in the field because the media set a high standard about him while he isn't ready to be compared with Kubo. At the first match of the tournament, the team wins 7-0 but Toshi, as center forward, doesn't make any goal. Kazumi tries to support Toshi genuinely but it doesn't end well. Minako, then fills this blank.

Just like the old days, Minako keeps telling him that he and Kubo are similar in the way they pursue their dream and passion for soccer, that he reminds her a lot of Kubo. She encourages Toshi to believe that he can be a star like Kubo. Toshi is attracted to her despite his feelings for Kazumi. But... she always goes on dates with Toshi in the places Kubo went on dates with her. She also gives Toshi cola after club because it's Kubo's favorite drink although Toshi prefers Pocari Sweat. Though, after a few meetings, Toshi becomes overconfident and cocky that he can do everything Kubo did in the field. In few qualification matches, it works. He makes goals after goals and the team is happy. Only Kamiya reacts indifferently about it.

At this point, I think this is similar to SOLDIER!Cloud copying Zack's mannerism and 'becoming' him… with Aerith being attracted to Cloud because of their similarity and missing Zack so badly.

And finally, Toshi makes blunders because he always tries so hard to copy Kubo's technique, tries to become Kubo. But Kamiya saves the team. After the match, he's angry at Toshi and punches him because this is not what Kubo meant about Toshi being his legacy, that he and Kubo is a very different person in the field, that he should trust himself and just be himself. Realizing his mistake, Toshi meets Minako and tells her to not meet him again. And he says sorry because he isn't Kubo. She cries, admitting that she feels very lonely since Kubo is gone. This happens in volume 12.

Long story short, Toshi become his real self after that, be more confident, and he would honor Kubo's legacy no matter what, carrying his dream along with his own and the team, not feeling burdened anymore. Kakegawa team doesn't just surpass the prefecture tournament (vol. 15), but they also win the national tournament (vol. 28).

See? Cloud & Toshi just need to be confident and be themselves. Their fake self just make a blunder.

Toshi eventually ends up with Kazumi. I dont really care of their romance tbh because it's slow burn that even needs two sequels to have them finally kiss! But it's clear to see how Toshi having feelings for Kazumi from the beginning and missing her so much when she's busy with her career as model/idol. Kazumi also never has an eye to another guy although Kazuhiro also have a crush on her and confess it. The compilation of SHOOT ends with Toshi becoming a player in Real Madrid and winning a match in the World Cup against Germany.

By the way, the live action of SHOOT! (produced in 1994) is centered more in the romance between Kubo, Minako, Toshi, and Kazumi since it's just 90 minutes movie and the actors aren't that great playing soccer. But Takuya Kimura won an awards as breakthrough actor for playing Kubo. And if you wanna follow the series, the anime ends up in winning the prefecture winter tournament, equivalent to vol. 15. The manga is much more than that since it has total 37 volumes.

I will gladly recommend SHOOT! to you because the match itself is realistic and the mangaka used references from real football players at that era such as Johan Cruyff, Franz Beckenbauer, Maradona, etc. Kakegawa's total football is also inspired from Dutch National Team. This is not Captain Tsubasa who have magical shoots! The almighty player who can do everything like Tsubasa is Kubo and he's doomed by the narrative. Despite being the MC, Toshi himself is not the center in the Kakegawa team because the leadership is on Kamiya and the playmaker is on Kazuhiro. After Kamiya graduates, the captain ban is passed on Kazuhiro. While Toshi end up in Real Madrid, Kamiya is in Juventus, and Kazuhiro is in Arsenal. The friendship and the comedy is also great.

More importantly, I wouldn't recommend it if it didn't win a Manga Awards.

A Cosmic Hourglass Half-Full: A Spoiler-Filled List of Everything I Appreciated about "Quantumania"

“So… what’s next… Secret Wars?” As someone whose feelings for the last two Marvel movies can be described as “mixed at best,” I was surprised to find myself uttering these words outside my local Laemmle.

It was 3 pm after a matinee showing of “Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania”, and while I found the movie heavy on the green screen and light on just about everything else, I was already looking forward to reuniting with my college friends for the next entry in ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It was at that moment that it occurred to me: the MCU, for better or for worse, is no longer just a franchise of movies and tv shows. They are cultural events. They are a recurring reason to gather with friends and family, and they give us something to talk about besides climate change and the price of gas. For this reason, attending a Marvel movie is almost like a sporting event. Sometimes, as with the case in Quantumania or Dark World, your team has a bad day. But that doesn’t mean you quit being a fan. It’s just more of a reason to celebrate franchise-defining moments, ala No Way Home or Endgame.

Therefore, in the spirit of optimistic fandom, here is a SPOILER-FILLED LIST OF EVERYTHING TO APPRECIATE ABOUT QUANTUMANIA, in order of appearance. Because yes, we lost this round, but the game definitely had some highlights…

-Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror-

Simultaneously the movie’s greatest strength and most glaring weakness is the way it left you wanting more from the MCU’s newest big bad. Can an actor nail all his lines, even without things like motivation or context? Apparently, yeah. Majors might not actually have much to do in this movie, but you’ll struggle to take your eyes off him.

-Look Out for the Little Guy-

Scott’s post-Endgame memoir has been a running gag in the MCU for awhile now, but seeing Rudd ham it up in a Barnes n’ Noble is joy in its purest form. If this didn’t make you smile, I think you got the wrong theater…

-William Jackson Harper as Quaz, the Telepath-

Yeah, I didn’t know that character had a name either. Still, this Good Place alum delivered the laughs with every line. I think we’d all watch a comedy sitcom set in the quantum realm if Harper was the showrunner.

“Like Stuffing a Turkey”

Whatever discomfort we endured watching Michael Douglas double-fist a pair of gummy worms was paid off in perhaps the greatest “I’ll drive” moment in movie history. I’ve never heard an audience cheer for anything stranger.

All Things M.O.D.O.K.

While Cross’s freakish appearance provided some of the movie’s best visual gags, writer Jeff Loveness also deftly turned Yellowjacket from a D-list villain into one of the most entertaining and memorable characters in the entire MCU. And his death scene? Instant meme material. It was THAT good.

One in a Million Paul Rudds

-Remember that iconic Infinity War moment when Doctor Strange tells Tony that there is literally a one in 14 million chance that Thanos is defeated? Well apparently there’s also a one in a billion chance that Scott keeps his job at Baskin Robbins and never becomes Ant-Man in the first place. That’s pure comedy.

What about you? Which moments saved the movie for you, if even temporarily?

#marvel mcu #mcu #ant man #quantumania #paul rudd #movies #evangeline lilly #michael douglas #michelle pfeiffer #ant man and the wasp #m.o.d.o.k.#baskin robbins #infinity war #avengers endgame #spider man no way home

More Super Klenk details come to light

Does Super Klenk still exist? Did Super Klenk ever exist? The tv show is so famously obscure that one could be forgiven for believing it was just a hoax. Running for 13 episodes at the turn of the millenium, Super Klenk followed the antics of a school teacher who has a secret life as a superhero. Broadcast on primetime Sunday evenings on GMA-7, each episode lasted 90 minutes, blending action, romance, and comedy. For a primetime show running on a major network there's precious little evidence online of it ever having existed. Only one very brief video clip is available, taken from a station promo, plus a tiny number of low resolution promotional photos.

It is, very likely, one of the most obscure and undocumented superhero tv shows ever. The series appeared to have not been reshown since its original broadcast, and for all anyone knows the master tapes may have been junked. But that doesn't mean that with a bit of digital sleuthing we cannot unearth some interesting details about the series. For example, a while back a study of television listings in newspapers revealed the original broadcast details, and the tantalising possibility that there may have been far more than just 13 episodes.

In this post we outline further sources of contemporaneous information.

The Manila Bulletin

We start with a low resolution scan of an article from the Manila Bulletin (see above.) The article is conveniently written in English, yet parts of the text are hard to decipher given the low quality of the image. The following is a transcript as best can be made out. Note: passages marked in colour denote text that is unclear or missing from the image.

[START]

Tired of your usual Sunday night viewing habits? Then look up in the sky. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's Super Klenk to the rescue!

Although you won't really see Super Klenk in the sky once you channel surf to GMA-7 tonight at 8 p.m., their newest situational comedy entitled "Super Klenk" premieres.

Produced by Philippine-broadcasting leader GMA Network Inc., the comical super series "Super Klenk" stars sexy Ara Mina, who plays a dual role. As a normal human being she is a grade school teacher and volunteer rescuer Charito for Rescue 711, while she turns into the high flying but still fumbling heroine whenever she's needed to save people in distress.

In her new role as a super heroine, silver screen goddess Ara Mina defies the stigma of a "TF" [titillating films] actress. According to her, she doesn't care if people including the press would criticize her the way they did when she took on a singing career. What is important to her is that she remains focused on entertaining the children who will watch her show. She also emphasized that her decision to do children's show is not an indication that she will veer away from doing sexy roles. Her latest film that is slated for a January, 2000 release entitled "Laro sa Baga" will still feature her in some steamy love scenes.

According to its director Mac Alejandre, the unusual title of the sit-com was spawned after its head writer Isko Salvador, aka Brod Pete, who also plays Doctor Cortal in the TV series, took a break from their brainstorming. The creative team formed solely for this show were thinking of the show's title at Amigos Restaraunt when Isko came back with the "Super Klenk" apparently is also the middle name of Ara Mina (it is pronounced in Germany the same way as the word clench is pronounced.)

"Super Klenk" is also unusual in its length. It is a one and a half-hour sit-com, which is not the norm for television. Director Mac has no reason for this except that it was the time given them by GMA 7's programming department. He find this challenging since he knows that he has to jeep this one and a half-hour show interesting all the way.

"It is really hard to do a sit-com that's one and a half hour that's why we have to make this as interesting as possible visually, acting wise and gag wise. The truth is the pilot episode was done in more than two days because we have a big cast and it was really hard doing the special effect," Explains Director Mac.

Insiders from the show said that the "Super Klenk's" special effects budget was really financially stressful but GMA-7 shelled out just the project's success. The special effects have also been at the helm of two creative [unreadable] behind "Super Klenk" five days to decide on which special effects to develop and utilize.

"Super Klenk" was developed with children's Sunday night viewing bits in mind according to GMA's VP for Programming Wilma Galvante. [Unreadable] is a wholesome entertainment but with Ara Mina as the star. "The show [unreadable] promises young televiewers bit only fantastic special effects but also moral lessons that are interjected in every episode.

The launching of "Super Klenk" is in line with the new shows GMA 7 has [unreadable] for its viewing public for the year 2000. The culmination of all their [unreadable] released and offered this year is "Millenium Broadcast."

So how does Ara Mina become Super Klenk?

The unassuming Charito lives an ordinary life as a teacher who has to contend with mischievous students like copycat Xerox and the narcoleptic [unreadable]. As a rescue volunteer, she works with an obnoxious publicity hungry [unreadable: police?] chief, Hope Pimentel.

Her daily routine suddenly shifts to a new gear one day in some dark [unreadable: alley?] when she sees an old lady whom she thought was waylaid by street thugs. Charito tries to revive the seemingly old ago-go dancer, Tondang Xorax (Flora Gasser), who [unreadable] against the wall during a chase with her archenemy Oblada (Sandra Gomez.) Charito's attempt to breathe life back into [unreadable] Xorax proves futile but he superpowers of the aging heroine is accidentally transferred to the young volunteer rescuer. Tondang Xorax [unreadable: magically?] fades into a celestial star right before the unbelieving eyes of the [unreadable: unsuspecting?] Charito. Soon Tondang Xorax visits Charito to inform her the [unreadable: henceforth?], she will be known as Super Klenk.

Also starring Pilita Corrales, Isko Salvador, Paolo Fabregas and James Fabregas.

Philippine Headline News Online

This next piece was posted to the Philippine Headline News Online mailing list on 11th December 1999, and seems to be a standard press release announcing the upcoming show. Translations of the non-English parts, courtesy of Google, are presented in colour.

WHOLESOME ROLE FOR ARA MINA IN GMA-7 SERIES

Quezon City, Dec.11, 1999 - GMA-7 is changing the image of bold star Ara Mina via a wholesome role in the network’s newest fantasy-action comedy series entitled Super Klenk!

“Tamang-tama nga dahil ngayong naghihigpit sa bold, heto’t nabigyan naman ako ng chance to do this kind of wholesome show na puwede sa bata and for the whole family,” Ara says. ["It's right because now that the bold is being restricted, I was given the chance to do this kind of wholesome show that can be done by children and for the whole family."]

Ara plays Charito, a dedicated grade school teacher and rescue worker. One night, she witnesses the original Super Klenk meet an serious accident. While trying to give the accident victim some mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, Ara received the special powers of Super Klenk, played by Flora Gasser.

“I become the new Super Klenk, a crimebuster who is the mortal enemy of the main villain in the show, si Oblada, played by Sandra Gomez,” Ara adds. “I enjoy doing this show because para akong si Wonder Woman and I get to do a lot of action scenes while fighting criminals. Nakakalipad din ako rito at ginastusan nila ang special effects sa flying scenes to make it look really convincing on screen.” [I enjoy doing this show because I'm like Wonder Woman and I get to do a lot of action scenes while fighting criminals. I was also able to fly here and they paid for the special effects in the flying scenes to make it look really convincing on screen.]

Playing the love interests of Ara in the show are newcomer Paolo Fabregas (son of actor-musical director Jaime Fabregas) and Isko Salvador (more popularly known as Brod Pete of Ang Dating Doon.)

This does not mean, though, that Ara is turning her back on sexy movies. As a matter of fact, she has just finished Laro sa Baga.

[END]

Philstar Global

The third piece was published on 18th March 2000 on Philstar Global, marking the premature cancellation of the show. Again, translations in colour.

[START]

Ara: Win Some, Lose Some

The sad news is true, after all. Yes, Ara Mina's Super Klenk will have its final telecast (GMA 7) this Sunday. After that, her flying character will be grounded (never to fly again?).

But the good news is that Ara will topbill a new GMA sitcom, untitled just yet, which starts telecast very soon.

"Super Klenk was very hard to shoot because palagi kaming outdoors," [Super Klenk was very hard to shoot because we were always outdoors] said Ara when Funfare talked to her on the set of FPJ Productions' Ayos Na Ang Kasunod (to be released by Millennium Cinema), her first team-up with FPJ. "Our minimum shooting time was two days. I wore a tight costume which could sometimes be very uncomfortable. I'm looking forward to doing the new sitcom which is light and easier to do. Like Super Klenk, pambata din 'yung bago kong sitcom." [Like Super Klenk, my new sitcom is also for children.]

Ara is leaving for Las Vegas third week of April to perform in a concert with Martin and Bert Nievera.

[END]

Cast and crew

Finally, through various sources (the IMDB, actor's profiles, etc.) we are able to pull together a list of the main actors and their characters, as well as some of the key production crew.

Ara Mina as Charito and her alter ego Super Klenk.

Isko Salvador (aka Brod Pete) as Doctor Cortal, the love interest, and also one of the show's writers.

Paolo Fabregas as another doctor and possible love interest.

Flora Gasser as Tondang Xorax, the superhero whose powers are accidentally transferred to the Charito.

Sandra Gomez as Oblada, the show's main villain.

Pilita Corrales as Aunt Baby, the relative Charito lives with.

James (Jaime) Fabregas as Hepe Pimente, the police commissioner and Charito's boss at the rescue team (also the real life father of actor Paolo Fabregas.)

Dingdong Dantes, possible guest actor.

Mark Anthony Fernandez, possible guest actor.

Elizabeth Ramsey as Tiya Kirara, guest actor.

Roxanne Barcelo, possible guest actor.

Yoyong Martirez, possible guest actor.

Mac Alejandre, the showrunner and director.

Wilma Valle Galvante, GMA's VP for Programming.

Conclusion

Over the last couple of years a lot of classic pinoy television has been uploaded, legitimately, to YouTube. The good news is therefore that it is possible that one day Super Klenk may be available for the public to watch once again. The bad news is that, given the obscurity of the show, it could be a very very long wait. Worse still, assuming the episodes do still exist in an archive somewhere, the chances are any uploads will be chopped up into small YouTube friendly chunks, rather than presented in their original 90 minute format. There's always the possibility that the show in its original form may be included on a streaming platform, or re-screened on a golden hits style cable channel, but so far neither of these things have happened.

And so, in the absence of any episodes to watch, the details above are currently all we know about what is possibly tv's most obscure superheroine show (unless you know more?!?) Maybe that will change in future -- here's hoping.

(A quick thank you to DrMuttonChops for tracking down a scan of the Manila Bulletin article, posted years ago on Ara Mina's social media.)

Dear M*A*S*H: S1 Ep 02 “To Market, to Market”

Previous episode here.

This is a tight episode that establishes some important recurring aspects of the series, namely the black market and idiocy, absurdity, and inefficiency of military bureaucracy and regulation. It is supremely ironic that Hawkeye and Trapper must scam to save lives; they must lie to the army in order to do the job the army expects and pays them to do--or at least, to do it well. Here is a further development on the theme established in the pilot, that the priority of these surgeons is saving lives, not merely ticking off boxes and following orders--doing things “the army way.” The episode provides a snapshot of how impossibly broken and corrupt the system they find themselves in is: black market and army both, each making the doctors’ jobs impossible, squeezing them from both sides.

The show never misses a chance to lampoon the brass: General Hammond won’t provide the hospital with more hydrocortisone, which will presumably save lives, because they’ve already received the allotted supply. Never mind if it was stolen; the box has been ticked off. And the General has more important things to do than talk to a lowly Lt. Colonel pleading for life-saving medicine; he has a meeting with MacArthur. Self-obsession, self-aggrandizement, and absurdly misplaced priorities are the hallmarks of the military and every antagonist on the show.

Crucially, the answer the characters provide to the problem of rampant theft is not stricter regulation and harsher discipline. If you can’t get rid of it, work with it. The solution to theft and the black market is: theft and the black market.

Charlie, the black market boss Hawkeye and Trapper go to see, is a stark contrast to General Hammond in many ways. First of all, check out his sweater and silk scarf. He looks relaxed and approachable. And the guy clearly cares about appearances, a fact Hawkeye picks up on and uses to his advantage. “For Charlie Lee, nothing but the best,” Charlie says with a winning smile and Midwestern accent. He’s personable, enjoys the finer things in life, and comes across as reasonable. No, he won’t help Hawk and Trap out of the goodness of his heart; he’s not running a charity. But he has real, concrete reasons for turning them down, unlike Hammond, who refused on empty, abstract principle. And when Hawkeye makes an offer that appeals to his vanity, he can’t refuse.

It’s also worth pointing out that Charlie and Hammond--who is simply the Brass of the Week--aren’t so different at their cores. There are plenty of instances over the course of the series wherein military men are shown to be equally susceptible to self-serving plans, even if they go against regulation. While not the focus of this episode, the hypocrisy of the brass and their “do as I say not as I do” attitude is often put in the spotlight. In this respect, the biggest difference between Charlie and Hammond is simply that Charlie never pretends to be anything he isn’t. The criminal world is like a fun house mirror to the military; it reflects back its human flaws, but wears them proudly on its sleeve.

You all know how it turns out; Henry’s oak desk, introduced as nothing but a gag about Henry’s own self-obsession, becomes the linchpin of the caper, the leverage that will allow Hawkweye and Trapper to get the hydrocortisone. Of course, stealing from one man overly concerned with appearances to give to another is presented as a morally correct action. Stealing from the rich, to give to the rich, and get what they need for the poor. Hawk and Trap are the Robin Hoods of the 4077. And while Henry is far more sympathetic and likable than either Hammond or Charlie, his fate is narratively sealed in his opening scene when he appears far more concerned with his shiny new toy than with the doctors’ dilemma. For the sake of ethics, he’s got to be taken down a peg.

(Seriously, Henry, why are you looking at your desk like that? While rubbing it and talking about solidity and strength?)

Other thoughts:

This episode was especially egregious with the use of “humorous” music cues and stingers: for instance, the “boing” sound when they open the back of the truck to find it empty. I assumed moments like that might be made slightly less awkward by a laugh track, but I checked and that’s a moment without the canned laughs!

I don’t think we ever hear again that weird “funky” version of Suicide is Painless that plays at the end as the helicopter flies off with the desk. Thank goodness.

Biggest laugh: Frank and Margaret’s exchange in Henry’s office in the dark while Hawkeye and Trapper hide behind the desk. Frank’s idea of seduction is truly something else. “Us, you, me... meeting like this... the way the flashlight catches your hair.” Cringe humor before cringe humor was a thing.

Parting thoughts: Overall, a solid follow up to the pilot. In fact, “To Market, to Market” is a classic caper that I was surprised came so early in the series, considering how that final gag of the helicopter flying off with Henry’s desk has stuck in my mind.

🔪 Jeff was only 13 years old when his life completely flipped. It first started when Jeff and his brother Liu moved cities. They went to a brand new school and on their first day, both of them got bullied by three others.

🔪 Those three threatened Jeff with knives and harm. That caused something in his brain to snap and brutally attack and punch them. His brother Liu took the blame for the attack and went off to jail for Jeff. He did not handle his brother being gone well at all.

🔪 Weeks later, there was a party on their block. Jeff's parents dragged him along even though Jeff really did not want to go. Those three bullies were there. They managed to get Jeff off on his own and started to attack him and breaking bottles over his head. Jeff managed to kill one of them and run upstairs to the bathroom to escape the other two.

🔪 Well, Jeff got caught and one of the two remaining bullies caught Jeff. Jeff got into a headspace during this fight and it would permanently stay this way. Jeff has gone insane. One of the bullies poured bleach all over Jeff and lit him on fire. At this point Jeff would pass out and he does not remember anything until he woke up in the hospital.

🔪 Jeff was stuck in the hospital for days and his head was wrapped in bandages. Once he was allowed to go home, they took the bandages off and he did not seem shocked over his new appearance. He laughed hysterically out of insanity. His skin was white and leathery. His lips were bright red and skin was severely disfigured.

🔪 The doctor thought the laughing was a side effect from the heavy pain killers, so they sent him home. Liu recently got released so Jeff was happy to see his brother.

🔪 Jeff had this weird smile on his face for the whole day. It quickly turned night and Jeff found himself in the bathroom with a knife tightly gripped in his hand. He carved a permanent smile in his face and burned his eyelids off so he could always see his new beautiful self.

🔪 His mom heard the clanking of the knife falling on the ground and went to check in Jeff. She screamed and called Jeff mad. She ran off but Jeff caught her and stabbed both his mom and dad to death.

🔪 He then went to find his brother and also stabbed him saying his iconic line go to sleep.

🔪 After this, Jeff had gone off the deep end and would go off killing anyone who wouldn't sleep at night.

Scrubs Review

The fall-off was such a shame.

For the record, I watched the first four seasons in 2022, but in 2023, I watched the remainder. So this is mostly focused on seasons 5-8. Season 9 is essentially a spin-off that I had no interest in revisiting.

I first watched the entirety of Scrubs well over ten years ago, back when it was still on Netflix. At the time, as a pre-teen, I thought it was one of the most hilarious shows with iconic characters.

My opinion has changed for the most part. It's a humorous show with some truly funny moments, but I don't find it that funny anymore. The show feels carried immensely by stellar character work, but the jokes themselves don't do much for me. It elicited a fair amount of chuckles, but I don't think it's outrageously hilarious, gut-busting, or in any sense of the word. Scrubs has a good cast who have great chemistry with one another and some decent gags or jokes throughout, and the show falls off a little after season 5.

If you don't know, Scrubs was a sitcom that aired from 2001-2010, originally airing on NBC for the first seven seasons before switching to ABC for the last two. For multiple years, it followed Zach Braff as JD navigated his job at a hospital. With its first season, JD's comedic ventures with his surgeon best friend Turk, on again off again girlfriend and fellow doctor Elliot, were delightful to follow for about five seasons. With season six, the storylines explored with the characters, as well as their fellow peers and superiors, felt stale. Still, most characters were likable enough to provide a fun time throughout the show's run. JD's romantic escapade with a character not named Elliot started off engaging, but I don't like how their relationship ended as she ended up hiding and lying to him about her pregnancy. Fellow main cast member Dr. Cox, who I considered a favorite during my first watch of the show, also felt stale with his same schtick. His character is a sarcastic ass whose jokes consist of going on long tangents that demean whomever he speaks to, and that was enjoyable for literally five seasons. Then there's another main cast member, The Janitor. Referred to as the Janitor because no one ever figured out his real name, and it's never revealed, The Janitor is an oddball who revels in pranking JD and being generally weird.

He's okay. He's got some funny one-liners from time to time, but I don't find him that funny. Honestly, that's how I would describe the whole cast and their comedic chops. Except for Sam Lloyd. Sam Lloyd played a depressing and poor-quality lawyer named Ted. He was my favorite character. Ted has the best lines and is the best character in the show. It's a shame he was merely a supporting character and not a part of the main cast, but that makes his appearances all the more endearing. Rest in peace to a GOAT.

The last two seasons are especially hurt in quality because they ran during the 2007-2008 writers' strike. My support goes to the writers part of the WGA wholeheartedly because, without talented writers at the helm, you get lopsided or decreasing quality of TV shows. Season 7 lacked as many episodes as the previous seasons, season 8 episodes aired out of order, telling a story that made little sense on a week-to-week basis, and the entire cast lacked substantial character development. There are still a handful of good episodes within the last few seasons, but they are notably poorer in quality than the first five.

Here are my final thoughts. If you haven't seen Scrubs before, I would recommend watching the first three episodes. If you like what you see, continue going forward. The first five seasons are a legitimately enticing bit of storytelling that fits for comfort watching as these goofy or quirky doctors go about their day-to-day. It has some comedic jokes, and maybe you'll find it funnier than me. The best thing about the show for those five years is the stories they tell, the characterizations, performances, and overall arcs and acting. But there is a dip in quality after season 5, be aware. And tread lightly if you want to risk watching season 9. From what I remember from my first watch, it was intended to be a spinoff of the first eight seasons, half the original cast is gone, and the newcomers kinda suck. If anything, just stop after season 8.

Overall, seasons 1-5 of Scrubs are a 4/5. Seasons 6-8 are 3.5/5.
