Can I please have Mirio, Shinsou, Kirishima, and Bakugo reacting to their crush working at a maid cafe? She would be surprised to see them but she genuinely enjoys her job and serves them, minus the gropers and cat callers but if they touch or harass a maid, they get tossed out immediately (This is a “look but don’t touch” establishment). She just never felt the need to bring it up but she enjoys the cute uniform, taking selfies with customers who ask/pay, and is very sweet to both staff and customers so she’s popular.

(A/N: SKSK I’m glad I got this request in)

Trigger warning: reader getting catcalled + harassed. Cuss words? Please don’t read if you’re sensitive to those things.

It was a cute cat cafe (this boi loves cats alright😤) so he just went inside to check it out.

What he didn’t expect was to see you.. in a maid outfit (yes now his heart was beating quick) he expected you to run off when you saw him, but you smiled at him.

“Shinsou! What are you doing here?” You asked him.

oH gOd he couldn’t tell you because of the cats! It’s his secret..

“J-just wanted to check this place out..” he mumbled.

“Oh! Well I’ll take you to your table.” You said as you lead him to a table that was empty.

You gave him a menu before leaving to serve another customer.

He tried focusing on the menu, but he couldn’t help but just stare at you. Usually people dreaded having jobs yet.. you seemed to enjoy it even when costumers asked to take pictures with you, you’d smile and say sure.

When you were done you were going to go back to Shinsou until you heard someone whistle at you.

Your jaw clenched together this was the only thing you hated about this job people harassing you and whistling at you like some kind of dog! There were times you wanted to yell at them, but you bit back your tongue and proceeded to move on.

Until.. the person decided to get up and grab your arm and yank you back towards them.

“Hey I called you don’t fucking walk away from me.”

Once Shinsou saw what happened he quickly rose to his feet ready to save you, but your manager quickly came out “hey asshole! This is a look but don’t touch establishment! Don’t put your filthy hands on them.” Your manger uses their quirk to make the person let go of you.

Once your freed from the person’s grasp Shinsou quickly pulls you over to him shielding you.

Your manager kicks the person out and you sigh in relief “sorry you had to see that shinsou..” you apologize. “Don’t apologize that asshole shouldnt do stuff like that especially to you Y/N.” You blushed.

“T-thank you..” you were going to say more until your friend told you that a customer was requesting you “I-ill be right back!”

You didn’t even have time to return to Shinsou as some costumers kept requesting you asking you if you were fine and even offered to buy you something, but you kept denying their requests.

Once you finally made it back to Shinsou he chuckled “Y/N you’re very popular you know.. I’m not suprised considering how sweet you are.”

Stupid Kirishima he was the one that was dragging Bakugou to a dumb cafe he didn’t even want to go! He wanted to stay in his room or at least go work out not go to some cafe.

Entering the cafe Bakugou’s mood didn’t change until Kirishima whispered to him “Dude! Look it’s Y/N!” Now THAT caught Bakugou’s attention.

He quickly snapped his attention to where you were and oH my gOd did his face become red from blushing.

You were wearing.. a MAID OUTFIT?! Why?!

You heard a commotion from the entrance and when you looked over you saw Bakugou and Kirishima you smiled walking over to them “I never expected you guys to come here! Especially you Bakugou!” You teased.

“S-shut up.. Kirishima made me come..”

“Hm.. well follow me I’ll take you to your table.” You said grabbing two menus and lead them to an empty table you gave them the menus before leaving as your manager had told you a costumer was requesting you.

Bakugou continued to watch you as you went table to table often talking to some costumes to even taking selfies with them.

“Aw are you making sure no one messes with them Bakugou?” Kirishima teased “shut up! I’m just.. wondering why they’re so popular! That’s all!” Kirishima laughed “you aren’t jealous right?” “M-me?!” Before Bakugou could make a comeback at Kirishima he saw you talking to a man.. he oddly looked suspicious.

Even Kirishima became quiet and continued to watch with concern he could tell you were become uncomfortable as your body was tensing up what the hell is he saying to you? Bakugou wondered.

That’s when it happened the man had groped you, you slapped his hand away and quickly stumbled back.

Bakugou was enraged and so was Kirishima (your his friend he doesn’t want anyone to do that type of stuff to you especially without your permission)

“What’s wrong didn’t you like-“ he couldn’t finish his sentence as Bakugou had rushed over and grabbed the man by the collar of his shirt.

“What the fuck are you doing! Fucking pervert don’t ever lay your hands on them again!” Bakugo shouts your manager had quickly rushed over to the commotion “this is a look but don’t touch establishment and I will not take you harassing my employees!” Thankfully your manager called the cops after the whole incident.

Bakugou was still upset at the whole incident he can’t believe that some people are like that! “Bakugou are you okay?” You asked.

He sighed “shouldn’t I be asking you that? The fucking pervert did that to you!” He shouts angrily.

“I know.. but thank you for helping me back there if you weren’t there to grab him quickly he might’ve just ran off.” Bakugou blushed.

“I-if it makes you feel better dumbass I’ll always visit you when you have work so you don’t have to worry about things like that..”

He’s going to drag Kaminari to go with him LMAO (doubt he would complain though)

Kaminari is the first person to see you and he’s like “look Kirishima it’s Y/N!!” Once Kirishima turns his attention to you he BLUSHES that it almost matches his hair color.

You’re in a maid outfit and he’s freaking out in the inside.

You’re beautiful just absolutely stunning well you’re always stunning.. KiRi being a soft boi.

You greet them happily “you work here Y/N?” Kaminari asked “yup! It’s a really cool job y’know! Here I’ll take you guys to a table.” You said as you started walking they followed right behind you.

Kaminari was mostly doing all the talking while Kirishima was more quiet he was never a really shy person yet he was acting shy right now which irritated him a bit.

Once they got seated you gave them a menu “I’ll give you guys a few minutes to look over things.” You said leaving.

Kirishima kept his gaze down at his menu as he read the list of foods and drinks that you guys had, but then he heard Kaminari laugh “what’s funny?” Kirishima asked.

“Y/N is really popular ive already seen her take 4 selfies with different people.”

Well.. Kirishima wouldn’t be suprised you’re extremely loving and sweet..

Once you were done you were going to go back to Kirishima and Kaminari until you heard someone catcall you.

It made your stomach turn, but you decided to ignore him that’s what you usually did and sometimes they’d understand or mutter something offense under their breath.

This guest wasn’t though they quickly shot up from their seat and grabbed you arm “what the fuck I give you a compliment and you decide to ignore it? Spoiled b-“

You saw Kaminari come from the side and pry the person’s hand off your arm then you felt someone pull you back you looked up and saw Kirishima glaring at them you’ve never seen him.. so protective of you.

“Listen dude I’ve never been to a maid cafe before, but I do know that it’s a look but don’t touch establishment.” Kaminari said angrily.

One of your co-workers told the manager what happened and kicked the guest out and told them “never come back again asshole!”

Kirishima still had his arms wrapped around you protectively “uhm.. kiri.. it’s okay now.” You said trying to soothe him.

“I-I know.. I just can’t believe someone would do that to you Y/N. I’m sorry I didn’t protect you fast enough.”

“You’re here though.. so I’m happy for that kiri.”

Oh boy he takes Tamaki and Nejire with him because the big 3 always gotta hang out with each other 😤

Once they’re inside Mirio is busy talking with Tamaki that he doesn’t even notice that you were there until Nejire was look “Mirio look it’s Y/N! Doesn’t she look beautiful?” He looks over and sees you.

I feel like he wouldn’t be blushing at all and he’s going to be bold about it and be like “heck yeah look at you sunshine!” (You’re going to be the one blushing)

You take them to a table and talk for them a bit before handing them some menus and leaving.

Nejire and Tamaki were the only ones looking down at the menu while Mirio kept looking at you, he noticed how a lot of people seemed so comfortable talk with you and at least 7 people took pictures with you!

“Y/N is really popular isn’t she Mirio?” Nejire said.

“Y-yes she is..”

“Mirio! Did I just hear you stutter? That’s new! Mirio you should ask Y/N out after this y’know a little birdie told me she isn’t dating anyone.”

Yeah Nejire is definitely is trying to set you two up she did the exact same thing with you when you kept staring at Mirio.

While you were taking someone else’s order you could tell their eyes kept lingering you and it was started to become uncomfortable.. usually guests would look down at their menu or even just take one glance at you before looking down again.

Once you were done you were about to leave until they grabbed your arm you kept yanking your arm back, but their grasp were too strong you were about to yell for your manager until you saw someone grab the person’s hand and yanked it away making the person let go of yours.

You looked up and saw Mirio.. he was always known to not be angry and make calm decisions, but you could tell how angry he was in his eyes.

Nejire came beside you checking your arm “Are you alright Y/N?” “Y-yeah I should go get my manager.” You said leaving.

Even Tamaki looked scary he was always shy and nervous yet even he was glaring at the man.

Once you told your manager they were pissed they stomped over to the man “Listen here! This is a only look but don’t touch establishment! You harassed my employee and now you’re banned from coming here again.” Once they had kicked the person out of the cafe you let out a relief sigh.

“Are you alright sunshine?” Mirio asked.

“Y-yeah.. that was just so sudden I didn’t even see that coming.. thank you for saving me back there.”

Mirio nods “I wouldn’t let someone hurt you like that sunshine especially when I’m around.”

(F/H) =favorite hobby.

I have the weirdest crush on this freaking duck and I don’t know why, so I’m taking out my confusion on this matter by making him yandere. Sorry that this is so long, boring and slow but I’m a sucker for slow burns and just dislike instant love. This went from just from headcannons to a freaking long ass story. I think I’ll make more on how the reader reacts when they find out just how mentally fucked Scrooge became.

Who knows, maybe I’ll write one for good ol’ Flinty. I have a feeling he’d just drop kick any rival he spots without much qualms about it. Meanwhile, Scrooge has a full on psychological derailment.

TW: manipulation, dependent behavior, stalking, and more.

______________

•To be honest, the likelyhood of Scrooge turning into a yandere might be higher than you think. He’s capable of self defense and can fight. He literally hunts treasure for a living. He also has a trillion dollar stockpile sitting around begging to be used for cover ups. His determination is pretty crazy, and he’s seen a lot on his adventures, things that would kind of instill a paranoia over time or an unhealthy me mentality. He can easily hide behind a professional front. Oh, and if he so wanted, he could travel and bury any evidence under a volcano. :)

•Since this is a yandere AU or, I’m gonna go with the idea that this is a what if the show had a TV-14 rating as well, so much darker themes can link and be explored.

•After pretty much a century of adventure, most of which includes violence and fighting through perils, human or not so, Scrooge is desensitized to quite a bit of violence and the dark and greedy side of the world. He’s seen the best of people and also the worst. This plays majorly in anyone who becomes a yandere; how exposed they are to people’s bad side or their own dark tendencies.

•Scrooge himself is not perfect and has demonstrated some traits of greediness, paranoia, and general distrustful behavior which is perfectly reasonable considering his work and the things he exposes himself too during it.

•Even though he loves adventure, there are a lot of bad things that happen on them that he seems to bottle up or keep to himself. Bottling up things causes a negative buildup in anyone, especially Scrooge because he expects that loving his life’s work will repair the same damage it sometimes does to him.

•Most likely, Scrooge developed an affinity with you through your similar drive for adventure. Maybe you worked for him in some way and he saw you defend someone or maybe you outsmarted one of his adversaries on an adventure he decided to bring you on. Regardless, you’ve caught his attention and this is only the beginning.

•A rival love interest’s biggest mistake is mistaking his age for a weakness. One minute he’s complaining about someone being on his lawn, the other they’re buried under it.

•Scrooge would probably connect most if he’s seen that you used to be in his shoes before, or at least a similar situation. Maybe you’re struggling financially but working your ass off to stabilize your income. As someone with the humble origins of a shoeshiner, Scrooge understands perfectly. Despite his incredible stockpile of wealth, he knows what’s it’s like to be at rock bottom.

•At first, you’re probably obviously very suprised with Scrooge’s involvement in your life. He’s from an entirely different world than yours after all, the top of the pyramid. Depending on your origins, you might react quite differently. Currently, you managed to find yourself stuck in a job you hated, working for someone you despised. It was a miserable, repetitive job that brought to your life a void of boredom.

•You craved adrenaline, even if it would get you killed, you finally figured that at least you’d go out with a spark. Putting on a smiling face, you accept a position at McDuck industries thinking that it was going to be another office job. By your luck, (or, later on, unfortunate luck), you managed to score a position that required you to be near Scrooge quite often.

•This gave both of you time to acquaint with eachother and the opportunity for him to see the potential in you as an adventurer instead of just an employee. Scrooge rarely lets people in beyond family, and is quite reserved so he himself questions what he sees in you at first, distrusting you even.

•When you are taken on your first adventure, you nearly boil over with eagerness. There’s a worry at first of the treachery involved but eventually, as you venture on more and more explorations, that fear dulls and you think the adrenaline as far more important than the possible loss of your life.

•Craving adrenaline is the main reason at first as to why you to want to stay around Scrooge. Despite his repeated attempts to brush or push you away, you find yourself excited every time you get to explore and finally get to see a world that you thought you’d never visit.

•Still, Scrooge remains cold and you can’t figure out why beyond the reason that he’s just a pessimistic old capitalist. As much as you want the adrenaline, you kinda can’t help but eventually enjoy his presence as well despite his temper and general grumpiness. Having been alone for over two decades without friends does that to someone. You needed warmth again.

•Maybe you grew attached to all the times you felt you were winning when you snubbed an artifact. Also, after collecting and sneaking a few gold coins into your own pocket, you were finally getting out of debt and on track to actually start your own business involving (F/H). You had the dream that you could travel where you wanted and finally find peace from your own mind and problems.

•Scrooge, despite his own warnings to himself not to persue, can’t help but offer you a job working for him. You made adventuring a million times better and were a great addition to the team, providing your own perspective or plan for the times he and his family would journey out. Oh, and he’d finally get the opportunity to be around you more. It was refreshing to see how optimistic you managed to remain despite your current financial predicament. (Which he contemplated solving.)

•Soon, however, Scrooge began to see that you were not as happy go lucky as you pretended to be, at least not when you weren’t on another treasure hunt. Something appeared to be gnawing at you. Deep down inside, it appeared to plague you and Scrooge began to worry for your well being and as a too curious for his own good duck, he needed to know what was going on. Especially when he had caught you quickly wiping away tears while you began to head home. What could possibly be causing you this pain?

•He had to find out and to his own realization, he had to know now. After all the times you saved and helped him, he wanted to make sure you were at least doing alright in return. He ordered Launchpad to tail you home and Launchpad, oh so very loyal, doesn’t question it much.

•Most yanderes might suffer from the constant delusion that their victims love them back or that they’re in the right but that’s not the case with Scrooge. There are times where he does try to justify himself, but this is mainly due to a fit of rage or to play innocent to you. Most of the time, he knows his actions are wrong and the burning temptation is causing a war. Very early on, he suppresses his curiosity and the growing feelings he has about you. Especially when they begin to boil into something far darker. Although he’s done this to nearly everyone, being cold to you and pushing you away seemed to be his way of trying to ensure your well being instead of his. He was finding it hard not to think about you sometimes.

•Soon enough though, he begins to grow inquisitive about your personal life as you open up to him and define yourself as a person instead of another blur. You were always quite genuine to just sit around and talk to him and despite denying it to himself, Scrooge was lonely, especially after the Spear of Selene. Sometimes you’d joke to him, sometimes you’d think philosophically. Sometimes it was just a mutual, comfortable silence.

•Scrooge might make excuses aloud to you, but doesn’t lie to himself. All the times he’s made you work later or given you an extra dose of paperwork was because he wanted to keep you around and in his line of sight. 12 hours without you was turning into a painful reminder of how isolated he was, even with Beakley around. You were a warmth, a cool, calm warmth.

• “I’ll eventually need to know her address later on in case she’s attacked by one of my adversaries anyways.” Nope, Scrooge wasn’t fooling himself with that sentiment. He knew he was invading your privacy, but he also knew that he was too nosy to care enough.

•The main problem is that although Scrooge knows a lot of what he’s doing isn’t right, he begins to care less and less. (Though this process takes quite a while.) You’re a valuable and positive part of his life, you had stayed when everyone else had abandoned him for his admittedly awful mistakes. He can’t lose another person he treasures. Especially not you. You’re becoming the shiniest yet. Losing you might mean losing himself in some sense.

•Scrooge tries to shake off the guilt but only finds that maybe it’s better to punish himself by feeling it. He’s currently following along your path to wherever your destination currently is.

•Of course, his iconic shiny limousine would be a sore thumb sticking out to both you, the media, and Duckberg in general so he makes sure to either trail far behind or to have another mode of transportation available. Regardless, Scrooge never hires another person to watch you in place.

•Scrooge doesn’t even install cameras. He’d rather experience your life from his own two eyes and not as reported from another bird or screen. He rather liked tracking you himself. It gave him a place to go and at least he’d be able to bask in your duality himself. Sometimes you cried, he found to his own breaking heart. Sometimes you’d smile, (mostly only in his presence, to his delight.)

•Most of all, though, you seem caught in the present of life. Distracted, even. It seems though, that sometimes you’re so distracted that you don’t even notice something is off. Or maybe you yourself are too unable to break the cycle of adrenaline adventure to see it. Maybe you yourself were actively creating excuses, at least at first as to why you sometimes ran into Scrooge McDuck everywhere.

•If there’s something else Scrooge is a master at other than money, it’s with keeping up the detached and reserved persona of a wealthy individual. After all, who would suspect him of such crimes like these? He’s just a selfish, greedy businessman that only cares about his wealth, right? He’d never bother with other birds unless he was shaking hands at a conference table.

•Wrong. As you and him grow to become more like mentor and student, Scrooge begins to insert himself everywhere he possible can in your life, especially after seeing the shitfest that was your social group, what little of it there was. Apparently, you’d finally made a few friends over the years working for him and there was only one out of all of them that Scrooge approved of.

•Two of them, both identical Peacock twins appeared to be fascinated with your link to him and nothing more. It made some sense. After all, who could say they were a close worker to the richest duck in the world? The other one, a tall and lanky chicken, was getting far too handsy with you, and the final, a feline male was nothing but gossip and drama.

•To add to insult, you were a pretty big pushover outside of work which meant that they would drag you to places you didn’t even want to go and pressure you to have drinks you didn’t want to taste. They were in love with the mask you put up, not the complex and amazing face behind it. The one that you were beginning to let Scrooge see.

• Scrooge watches from a distance as your laugh reverberates. The laugh appears to Scrooge as unwavered and solid, mechanical in nature like it was a reoccurring script. Gazing at your face, he could see that your smile was strained, beak scrunched. You just wanted to go home and nothing more.

•The chicken next to you he was sucking a cigarette and the smoke blew in your direction, replacing your laugh with coughing and the others cackled with drunk glee, their solo cups tipping as they did. You blew it off as an accidental push in the wind which, by the way, wasn’t even blowing.

•Out of all of them, Scrooge hated the lanky chicken, who’s name he learned was Gale, the most. You deserved far better than that. Surely you saw through his sleazy act, right? Why were you hanging around such a ratched group of birds? Just how blind were you to their usage of you?

•Almost without even realizing it himself, Scrooge had tailed you the entire way home. After having to torment himself with an hour of seeing you torment yourself, he figured that maybe you’d find something that made you happy other thanyour little flock of “friends.”

•So he was admitting to being a stalker to himself. Did that mean he’d be able to admit it to oblivious ol’ you? Well, no. At least, not for now. Not until you trust him completely. Oh well, he’ll never go further than then that, right? He was watching you, but not engaging in any way. Nothing worse could come out of it..

•Wrong.

•After a while of having you working under him at McDuck Industries, Scrooge began to realize just how much financial control he had over you. Not only did you depend on him cod for paycheck, your landlord worked for someone who worked for him. In other words, the spot of land you were living on was an apartment company that belonged to him. You were living under one of his roofs. All he’d have to do was shift some circumstances and you’d either be homeless or debt free forever. Scrooge of course, plays the benevolent route and lowers it significantly for you. Why antagonize you?

•After having taken that action, Scrooge noticed more and more of a smile on your face as you realized that you didn’t have to depend paycheck to paycheck for food on the table. He had also been aware that you had a side hobby now, involving (F/H.) sometimes you joked you’d start a business and go off parting ways with that hobby. It was source of entertainment to watch you be..Well, you. There was this genuine behavior about you that just drew him in.

•If Scrooge wasn’t adventuring with you or at a meeting also with you, he was still with you. You just didn’t know it yet. Interestingly however, you’d begun to pick up the signs that there was a presence in your life. Whereas you didn’t close the blinds before, you did now. Or maybe that was from all the adventures you’d nearly died on fighting others off. Maybe it was paranoia.

•Eventually, Scrooge managed to break into your apartment under the guise to Launchpad that he’d been invited by you. A ludicrous lie, of course, but Launchpad is gullible to a fault when it comes to Scrooge. He’s loyal like that, and his friendliness to you plays into Scrooge’s emotional manipulation later on.

•As Scrooge sneaks in while you’re still home, he makes his way behind the kitchen counter which seperated your living room. He didn’t expect you to be right there in the living room, but you were, just five feet away from him and the window he snuck in. The window was to your right. He had carefully parted the curtains. Your couch was sitting approximately five feet from the window balcony, facing a corner of the wall with the T.V off.

•Peculiarly, you hadn’t even noticed he’d entered by rigging the door. You were right there, not staring at his direction, but he should have at least appeared in your peripheral. Just what were you doing to be so disconnected to the reality around you? It was worrying.

•Now hidden behind the counter directly to the left of you, he observes your desensitized form. For a moment, Scrooge thought you were a corpse until he peered closer. You were still there, physically. Mentally you looked as if you were in a whole other dimension. In a rather bold move, Scrooge slowly stands up and positions himself in the archway, watching you from his spot.

•You were still, so very still unlike all the times you’d fidget at work or with those “friends.” You still breathed and your hands shook slightly and there was color to your eyes but you yourself didn’t even seem present whatsoever. Your eyes were glazed and far away. It was just your body sitting there in that couch. It was worrisome and yet there was a blissful smile to your face seconds later.

•It was you, daydreaming about something. Something you obviously enjoyed. Scrooge, to his own shame, hoped it involved him. For a few more moments, all you did was sigh like you were meditating. It was haunting how easily you had lost yourself within the confines of your tumbling mind. Somehow, you were blocking out the world beyond, maladaptively.

• Scrooge knew he was taking a huge risk. All you’d have to do to spot him now was swivel your head a few inches or wake up from dreamland. It would take a few inches to ruin what you thought of him.

Just then, to Scrooge’s horror, you had slowly picked yourself off the couch. Your body shuttered as your head snapped up. He knew he was taking a huge risk with this and began to think that maybe it was a terrible idea after all. (Who was he kidding, it was terrible in the first place, he knew what he was doing.)

•He quickly fell back to his crouched position behind the counter, silently and expertly as you turned around and made your way closer and closer. There was a tense moment in which Scrooge contemplated just knocking you down completely and rendering you unconscious. All it would take was a few seconds. Maybe you’d forget or maybe he’d give you the dreamland you seemed so desperate to reach. It would certainly give him peace of mind to know where you are 24/7..All he’d have to do is knock you out and take you to the manor. You’d be secure and have everything you need there…

•Your presence was setting him alight, in the good way and bad way. He loved being near you. But hated the idea of you getting any closer right now, because you getting any closer would ruin your trust in him entirely. A few more steps is all there was between the idol you saw Scrooge as and the monster he was growing to be. You were like a fire. The heat scorched his feathers. Then, when you were away, his thoughts.

•Your steps were louder than they’d ever been. Then, to Scrooge’s unbelievable luck, you turned towards the hallway away from the kitchen. Scrooge knew not to push his luck trying to follow or stay, so despite his clawing urge to figure you out, he hesitantly snuck out with unanswered questions on your concerning mental state.

•It had been a months since that incident and Scrooge was moving onto bigger and bolder actions. Sometimes he’d swipe you away from any conversations you had with your friends by calling you in for a task. Sometimes he’d eat up all your time by keeping you in late, and taking you to places far away that required days of travel.

•Sometimes he’d drive bad influences away by financially ruining their life forever.

You noticed Gale’s downfall quickly, but you didn’t have any idea it was Scrooge who was responsible. Gale lived actually, three complexes from you and oh so suddenly, rent had begun to skyrocket in the particular room he had to himself. This led to him being presented with an eviction notice. You didn’t even have the chance to say goodbye. (Not that you wanted to, though.) deep down you were glad he was gone and Scrooge knew it. Gale had to move far off to find an affordable spot. It was a mercy considering how often Scrooge had dreamed of just throwing him into the ocean tied up for the sharks to find. He was a toxic influence.

•Maybe if someone pushed his button just right, Scrooge would end up killing them, and who would care? There were seven billion fellow people on the planet. Scrooge could just get rid of any threat he wanted and no one would notice or ever suspect it was him. After all, he’s just a grumpy old man with a cane.

•It turns out, Scrooge had picked up on your plans to possibly quit your job. He had never felt his heart sink like it did now. He was fighting off his initial shock as you stood in his office, masking it with a detached face. You hadn’t even confirmed the statement. All you’d said was that maybe you’d found a company within your favorite hobby.

•It was just a small implication. But, Implications could become statements, which could turn into actions, and Scrooge couldn’t let the thought even be a presence in your mind.

•You had stayed with him throughout the years of his loneliest moments, had confessed secrets, had confided in him. You were like his pupil, learning from him and you were like his partner, fighting alongside him. Maybe you were something different altogether.

•...Was it a friend that convinced you? It had to be. Scrooge knew how much you enjoyed galavanting around the world with him. There’s no way you’d just fly off without him.-

“I promise I’ll still occasionally go with you, Scrooge. (A first name basis. This was devolving from anything normal.) I found my passion. We can still adventure together, but I found a path that also makes me happy and doesn’t ya know, get me killed.” You chuckle as if it were nothing. A light joke.

•So you were leaving. You were going to go. Why? You had a great paycheck, (an expensive one that took a lot of money,) you had the opportunity to travel the world. You had the best job you’d ever get. Who else was going to be as good as him? He won’t let you destroy your future by applying for a Mediocre position at some dumptruck company.

•As it turns out, the bird responsible for swaying you was none other than one of the peacocks, her name was Shelby. She and you laughed, and for the first time, your laugh was genuine. Genuine with her and not with Scrooge. You both shared each other’s stories, and she in return had encouraged your little dangerous fantasy of being independent.

•Now of course Scrooge realized how ridiculous this all sounded. He had willingly allowed you to go on perilous adventures with him, but at least then, you were with him. How could he keep an easy eye on you if you just moved off to some rando spot? Plus, he was plenty good as saving you. He was your hero.

•Bad influences needed to go away.

•Scrooge might lie to himself about how much it digs under his feathers, but to see you around other people really dug wrong. He itched every time you decided to take advice from other people, or confide in them instead of him. He was the one you could go to, not them. Your secrets didn’t need to be shared with anyone else but Scrooge. All those rare and precious things that made you yourself didn’t need to be snatched by thieves like Shelby or Gale or whoever else.

•He knew that his criminal actions would scare you. Even with your growing trust and dependence on him, he knew it was too early for you to want to stay with him if you knew what he’s been doing. If he wanted your presence, he’d keep it through lengths you’d find terrifying.

•Scrooge found your biggest flaw was that you always attracted the wrong crowd, and it was primarily because you were always trying to impress others when they really didn’t deserve the magnificent canvas you painted yourself to be. To his even greater detriment, you were beginning to spend your time more and more with Shelby. The canvas you painted was beautiful, as always. But it wasn’t for him, and he found that he was not happy with this new development.

•Don’t you know people take advantage of kindness? It happened to him all the time and still does. It happened to you over and over and yet you kept venturing forth giving out your trust like it was nothing. The world is a sour place if you’re not careful. Cursed kilts, you were already naive about Gale. Who knows how badly future people would hurt you, even if they were well intentioned.

Scrooge could tell that, despite him insisting otherwise, you thought leaning on his shoulder was burdening him. He wanted to make sure you knew it was anything but that. As a matter of fact, he wanted you to lean on his shoulder every moment he possibly could get you to. What was just you occasionally asking for advice on impersonal things becomes entire sessions with Scrooge encouraging you to reveal every personal detail of your life.

•You had revealed that many times, you just wanted independence. A company of your own to possibly build so you could pursue life your own way. Scrooge knew these dangerous thoughts were one of the final roadblocks. Scrooge had to prevent them. Be it through roughening you up financially or discouraging you. Be it from murdering outside influences, too. Who was going to miss the miserable miscreants that plagued your life anyways?

•It is three days before the date you had decided that you would resign. Instead of being merry, you were miserable. The opportunity you had to get the job was burned by them not even calling you for an interview. After your resume, why would they reject you? You had the word of one of the finest businessmen out there to back you up. Scrooge himself promised to put in a good word for you! You were perfectly qualified for the job you were looking for. In your days of being rejected from the position you wanted, you confide in Scrooge. You don’t know it but as he pats your shoulder, he’s thinking of the next way to sabotage your efforts of leaving him.

•Shelby ends up going missing. She was one of your closest friends and the only one who finally treated you well. Your devastation causes a major setback in any ambitious plans as you isolate yourself from anyone else but only the closest person left in your life; Scrooge.

•Currently, you were enveloped in a warm hug, the side of your face leaning in the crook of Scrooge’s neck as he calmed your crying form down, patting your back and promising you his presence would remain forever. You wept at Shelby’s funeral, so did her twin sister and their parents, who, upon seeing Scrooge, had nearly fainted in shock.

•Despite your tumultuous relationship with Shelby, she had actually begun to redeem much of her previously antagonistic actions towards you. She was in a rough place when you had developed a connection with her. So you wept in your boss’s, or rather, your best confidantes arms. You wept.

Scrooge, however, did not.

Hey could I request one for Harrison where the reader is shy and she doesn’t think he’d like her (more then a friend) because he is outgoing but he suprises her by making sure she’s comfortable in crowds and pubs and such

A/N : I just got carried away. Don’t know this is what you wanted exactly but tried my best. Hope you like it.

Pairing : Harrison Osterfield x Reader

Warnings : none

Definitely my type

Childhood crushes are totally a whole different deal. It evolves with time starting from a miniscule infatuation it turns into something strong and enticing. You grow fond of every little thing of the person. Everything that person does makes your heart beam with joy. And these feelings are even more stronger when it is your next door neighbor.

Harrison Osterfield, the name itself makes your heart skip a beat. You knew him as the skinny blue eyed blonde who used to be always your savior. You were an introverted, shy kid. Socializing wasn't your thing, crowds scared you, you couldn't even answer back to people so you were easy to pick on and bullied upon. But Harrison was always there for you. Fighting your fights and protecting you like a prince in shining armor from the story books or as would Harrison preferred to be called like batman.

But once puberty hit him it was as if the hormones amplified the best features of him a thousand times. Those captivating blue eyes, golden beach wave hair and that perfectly toned torso could take anyone's breath away. It would be a lie if you said that in all those lonely nights you never had those inappropriate thoughts about him.

You liked him no correction, you loved him. You loved everything about him , be it his heartwarming smile, his goofy antics or the major dork vibes he used to radiate. You wanted to tell him about your real feelings but your introverted self never allowed that. Plus you knew very well that you were never a match. He is a fun loving, extroverted person and not to mention a famous model and actor as well. His friend circle is mostly from the film industry and you could never fit into that life. Whereas you on the other hand were a normal, boring person with a not so model like body, why would he even be interested in you? You tried to get over him so many times but every time you tried you were drawn right back to him.

You now stand in front of Tom's house. You would rather call it a frat house because the boys live here like typical college frat guys. You rang the bell and as expected Harrison opened the door.

"Hey Y/N, what's up?"

"Hey, I actually made some lasagna today, so brought you guys some.

"That so kind of you Y/N, come inside."

"No thanks I just came to give you this, that's it. And don't want to disturb you guys"

"What rubbish! Come inside we would love to have you with us." You followed him into the house.

"Hey Y/N what a pleasant surprise. How are you?" Tom asked pausing the video game he was busy playing with Tuwaine

"I'm fine Tom."

"Y/N made lasagna for us." Harrison chirped.

"Hope we don't end up puking in the toilet later." He snickered. You scoffed, rolling your eyes.

"I better leave." You said putting down the tray in your hand on the table.

"No Y/N wait." Harrison stopped you. "Tom seriously?" Harrison raised an eyebrow bemused.

"Hey I was just joking. You actually saved us from the hassle of cooking tonight so thank you."

"So what are you doing tomorrow night?" Harrison asked.

"Nothing just spending time with mom and dad, eating and watching some Christmas movies."

"Why don't you join us then we are going to the local pub tomorrow. There will be a quiz and drinks, it will be fun."

"Umm you know I'm not a social butterfly and I don't want to be a burden for you guys it's better I stay at home."

"C'mon Y/N a little fun will never do any harm and we all will be there so you have nothing to worry."Harry reassured you.

"Please Y/N, I would be really happy if you come with us." Harrison said with puppy eyes And how could you say no now.

''Uh okay."

Next day as decided Harrison came to pick you up in the evening and meet the boys at the pub. You were seated in the booth with the boys. They were already on their second drink cracking jokes and having time of their life. You on the other hand chose to be a passive listener to their conversations occasionally sipping on to your drink. They participated in the quiz with great enthusiasm and were talking to strangers with such ease. You were mentally regretting of agreeing to come with them now that you realise you are no fun and Harrison may have just asked you to join out of courtesy.

"You okay?" Harrison asked seeing you absent-minded.

"Not exactly" you said sheepishly.

"You wanna go home?''

"Yes please"

"Guys Y/N and I are gonna take off."

"What so soon?" Harry frowned.

"She isn't feeling well."

"Oh okay then you leave we will be home by midnight."

"Yeah bye then enjoy the night." Harrison says before leaving.

"Yeah bye you guys"

You and Harrison walked out of the pub. There was complete silence for the first few minutes as you walked side by side before you broke the silence.

"Sorry you had to leave your friends and come with me."

"Hey it's okay this is actually much better walking down these illuminated streets in this wintery night rather than sitting there and just drinking."

Your hands brush against each other a couple of times as you walk. You feel your cheeks heat up on such a cold night. You brush your hair behind your ear as you steal glances of him. A strong urge was growing inside you to finally confess to him you don't know how you are gonna do it but you wanted it badly. You had enough of this constant pining and brooding over him. You soon reach your house as you stand on your front porch.

"Okay then goodnight, Y/N and merry Christmas"

"Yeah goodnight and merry Christmas." Harrison turned to leave. This is the chance Y/N it's now or never you repeated in mind.

"Umm Haz!" you called as he turned back.

"I want to tell you something."

"Yes love what is it?" you took a deep breath and spoke.

"I know we have been best friends for a long time but I like you." and there it was out in the open "I mean not the like, like the genuine kind of like. You are understanding right?"

"Y/N.." Harrison said calmly.

"Haz just let me get this out please!

I had a crush on you, longtime, since childhood. I know I'm not your type and you don't feel the same way for me that's fine, totally fine I get it I'm boring, shy but I just want to get this off my chest. I know you are thinking what kind of weirdo I'm confessing to having a crush on her best friend.." You kept on rambling when Harrison held you by your face and kissed you catching you off guard as your eyes went wide. He pulled away after sometime.

"And you kissed me. Wow" you shook your head "I mean why?" you were still in shock.

"Sorry should have asked you but there was no other way to stop you."

"And now you listen to me." He cradled your face with his calloused palms.

"Y/N I like you too, since we were kids. I love to spend my time with you. I have always wanted to tell you this but everytime I literally freaked out thinking what if you didn't feel the same way for me. I just didn't want to ruin our friendship."

"Really?" you couldn't believe your ears.

"Yes Y/N I love you."

"I love you too Harrison." your eyes were wet.

"And you are definitely my type." he said with a goofy smile.

"I know that kiss was a crappy one and since we are standing under the mistletoe." You both looked above your head at the mistletoe hanging at your front porch smiling before glancing into each other's eyes again.

"Can I kiss you Y/N?"

"Yes you can." You giggled. He knelt down to capture your lips in a soft and delicate way. The mistletoe above was a silent witness to the beginning of a new love story.

Requests are open.

I have saw your previous post about haikyuu boys personalities turn180 when they are around you. I would absolutely love if you do it for Kageyama and Tsukishima too. (or characters you would like you write too)

haikyuu boys whose personalities would do a 180 when they’re around you (part 2)

includes: kageyama, tsukishima

kageyama

(okay this was quite hard for me because you ALL know what a chaotic baby boi he is JASJAKSJAKJSKAKSLA also before we get started omg this baby’s birthday is the day after mine!!)

so kageyama’s naturally intimidating

i mean have you seen him try to smile??

but with you, oh, the baby tries his damn best to be an ideal boyfriend.

it’s so cute and endearing, cause you see how he kinda gets around you.

even if he messes up just a teeny tiny bit, he will apologize

please let him know his efforts are valid, bb boy is doing his best

“GWAH-!” hinata once again receives too late and gets another ball to the face.

“BOKE!” kageyama almost growls, fanning himself with the collar of his shirt. “get up and help me, i need to get this perfect by the end of the practice.”

hinata grumbles and scrambles off the maple floor, but does a double take at the setter’s words.

“did... did you just say you need my help?”

the rest of the team hears it too. they’re all staring at him, and kageyama fights the urge to punch something, particularly an orange-haired freak.

“i did, boke. now get up before i follow up that ball with another.”

“kageyama,” hinata pops a mentos and runs back to the net, “what do you even need to practice for? there isn’t a match until next month-”

“or is tobio-kun trying to impress a special someone?” sugawara raises a cocky eyebrow. the vice-captain knows what his successor’s trying to do.

“wha- sugawara-san- i-” kageyama stutters on his words.

“OH HE IS!” tanaka and nishinoya bounce around him. “TOBIUO’S ALL GROWN UP! HE’S A BIG BOY!”

they tackle him in a hug, and hinata follows after, leaping in and cheering for kageyama. yamaguchi and ennoshita pull asahi in a bit quite harshly, and the ace accidentally tugs both daichi and sugawara along. tsukishima tries to sass about how the great king has his own queen now, but sugawara shushes him and yanks him onto the pile of screaming volleyball boys.

amongst all the screaming, the laughter, the teasing, and the shouts of pain because BOKE HINATA BOKE YOUR FOOT IS IN MY FACE-

“hello?”

they all turn to you, standing at the gym gates with an eco-bag full of milk cartons.

god damn, you look like an angel to kageyama. (and it’s not just because you’re holding a load of his favorite drink.)

“kageyama-kun, is that her?”

kageyama smiles. it comes to him genuinely. it’s like once he sees you, the weight on his chest is gone. (quite literally, because the team takes this as their cue to scramble their way off kageyama).

“yeah. that’s my girl.”

“hi bubs!” you grin and hold out the eco-bag. “i got you some refreshments.”

“hi babe,” he sits up and takes the bag from your hands, and presses a kiss to your knuckles. “you didn’t have to get me these.”

“it was on sale, anyways,” you turn red at his public display of affection.

hinata makes his way to you, stars in his eyes as he shakes your hand. “hello! i’m hinata-kun, nice to meet you, kageyama’s girlfriend!”

you smile back and eagerly shake his hand. “i’m y/n, nice to meet you all!”

nishinoya and tanaka are in tears. they kneel down in front of kageyama, who turns horribly red.

“KAGEYAMA-SENPAI!!” they wail. “WE DIDN’T THINK YOU’D GET A GIRLFRIEND BEFORE US! AND YOU TREAT EACH OTHER SO WELL! YOU HAVE OUR RESPECT KAGEYAMA-SENPAI”

“s-senpai?!” kageyama’s eyes widen. “get-get off the damn floor! the both of you being single has nothing to tdo with me! the two of you are just idiots!”

he turns to you, his cheeks burning. “t-that’s noya-san and t-tanaka-san, they’re just jealous... that i.... have such a lovely and supporting girlfriend.”

your heart melts at his words.

meanwhile, sugawara-san hoots and claps for his first-year setter. “kageyama-kun, nice!”

kageyama turns impossibly redder. “i’m s-sorry about them, babe.”

you laugh shyly, and brush a hand through his hair to calm him down. “bubs, they’re just happy for you. i’m happy for you too, you’ve always done your best to make me smile.”

hinata pipes up before kageyama can react. “he really has been trying, y/n-chan! he wanted to impress you with his tosses earlier! he wouldn’t stop being so nervous abou-”

a volleyball collides with his face. needless to say this story ends nearly quite the way it began, only with our precious blueberry boy smiling just a little bit brighter.

tsukishima

okay, this dude has a big bro. he was taught how to treat a lady.

you cannot change my mind that he’s a gentleman

he loves you w all of himself

has this inner conflict of whether to keep his cocky self around his team when he’s with you

or just be a simp and snarl at anyone who teases him for it

“tell us about her!”

“well, she’s pretty cool. and smart. she’s beautiful and-“

“yamaguchi, urusai.”

“ah!- gomen, tsukki. yachi-san’s just so pretty i can’t help complimenting her.”

“oi, tsukishima!” hinata chomps into a meat bun. “don’t tease yamaguchi for simping for his girlfriend! at least he has one.”

tsukishima’s eyebrows narrow. “what are you insinuating, shrimp?”

sugawara points at him with his chopsticks. “when are you getting a girlfriend?”

before tsukishima can answer, yamaguchi pipes up.

“tsukishima already has one! she’s super sweet... and funny, and... oh no.”

tsukishima chokes on his food and turns to yamaguchi. yamaguchi’s eyes widen and he whispers a sorry before the first-years and second-years let out a collective scream of suprise.

guess it’s too late to tell him to shut up.

“TSUKISHIMA-KUN YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?” hinata screams. Kageyama spits out his water.

“tsukishima, why didn’t you tell us?” nishinoya karate-chops him on the head. “what is she like? tell us! tell us! T E L L U S”

“i don’t have to tell any of you airheads anything,” he grumbles, trying to will himself not to blush.

“if you won’t tell us, we’ll just ask yamaguchi! yama-yama! is tsukishima a simp?”

yamaguchi turns red and stutters. “i-i-i can’t tell you anything! ju-ju-just ask her, she’s coming over today- oh no! oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!” he buries his face in his hands.“i spoiled the suprise! y/n-san’s gonna be saaaaaaad!”

tsukishima rolls his eyes. “yamaguchi, urusai. i can always just pretend i’m surprised.”

everyone falls silent.

yamaguchi feels tears of joy. “tsukishima... you would do that for y/n-san?”

tsukishima furrows his eyebrows. “yeah. i wouldn’t wanna get shortcake’s effort to go to waste-”

there’s a knock on the gym doors. yamaguchi aggressively shushes everyone, then pushes his best friend a little too harshly to open the door.

“who is it- shortcake?”

he tries his best to pretend he’s shocked, but he’s met face-to-face with a dinosaur plushie just as tall as he is.

“surprise!” you smile, placing the stuffed animal down and hold your arms out.

tsukishima really is surprised. his features soften as the corner of his lips quirk up.

“shortcake,” he pulls you in for a hug. “what’s all this?”

“congrats on your win! you were fire!” you grin.

“you don’t have to say that. it’s fine. but thank you for the gifts.”

“Y/N-SAAAAAN!”

“yama-yama!” you run to your friend and bear hug him. “i saw you too! you were badass!”

“b-badass??” he blushes. “pshaw, no, i just stayed on the court for a while-”

“don’t say that! the both of you were great!”

“shortcake, huh?” hinata glares at tsukishima. “you just call everyone who isn’t taller than you a shorty, huh?”

tsukishima smirks, and snakes an arm around your waist, pulling you close and pecking you on the lips. “what’s wrong with enjoying the little things in life?”

Amphibia Reviewcaps: Scavenger Hunt/ The Plantars Check In

KEITH DAVID IS HERE! KEITH DAVID IS HERE AND NOT IN SHADOWY STINGER BITS BUT FULL CHARACTER! And okay other stuff happened I guess. Anne deals with her insecurity over her girlfriend being way more smart and acomplished than her, then the Plantars meet King Keith David, followed by Sprig reinacting the plot of Home Alone 2 mixed with a bit of Blank Check. You know that forgetable disney movie about the white dumbass who uses his computer skillz to get rich and has to deal with the mob.. I assume. I really have no idea exactly what blank check was about and neither do you. KEITH DAVID, under the cut.

Scavenger Hunt

And with Marcy’s big intro out of the way we’re back to simplier problem of the week episodes, though this one does lead into the next which does have some solid plot progression, and the new setting and fresh injection of Marcy mean they do feel a bit newer after the road episodes. Like a good road trip after all that time you finally get to see the sights, enjoy the place and just relax. And also eat because your usally hungry when you first arrive, which is what the plantars and new addition Marcy are doing to start. Marcy’s treating, because she’s friends iwth the king and as we learn next episode the king gives his friends acess to the royal treasury because he’s a seemingly nice dude. Again, more on that in a minute. While Hop Pop marvels at Marcy’s smarts and analytics, a messag efrom the king arrives.. and yes I too have “A MESSAGE FROM THE KING A MESSAGE FROM THE KING’ from hamilton in my head right now.

Turns out the King likes to send Puzzle grams, basically sending marcy on scavenger hunts to tell her something because their both massive dorks. And it is taking ALL my willpower not to jump right ot the keith david of things, but for the sake of profesionalism I will stay here. So our party splits up: Marcy, Anne and Sprig go off to solve the puzzle and see the town while Hop Pop ends up staying because you can get free shit the more you eat, which yeah is a nice thing and all but is usually not worth what you spend. But it’s not his dime so fair enough. The king’s toilet’s are probably gold with gems and the softest seats in the land. I mean if I were king of the world I”d want the best toilet in the world. I’d also install free health care and other good stuff, but I’d expect a really nice crapper as one of the perks of the job.

Anyway the hop pop plot really is just him eating a lot to get free stuff and showing up at the end , so i’ll focus ont he main plot which is pretty standard: Anne is insecure about how smart Marcy is, and TRIES to out marcy her in solving the puzzle, while befrending various people: Resucing a girl’s cat/caterpillar from a tree, befreinding an old lady and doing her nails, and then bonding with the gnatcho cart lady.. which made me want nachos bad, who enocourage a dispondent anne to be herself and try anyway. But yeah Marcy suceeds instead, Anne gets depressed, then Anne tries TOO Hard on the last clue when Marcy is stuck and ends up in the sewer with the alligators.. which unlike real life sewer gators, were put there on purpose by marcy to eat garbage when she redid the sewer system.. because of course she did she’s the best. It’s a really nice gag. They escape the gator when the various people Anne helped form a chain, along with an exasperated hop pop and Polly. Then sprig blabs about Anne’s insecurity, and Marcy comforts her, pointing out that while she’s a genius and what not.. she dosen’t.. get people. Anne does, which.. I found a nice twist. The first thing she did,g etting the cat, made me think “oh their going to go with her physical skills”.. but instead in a nice twist that made me like this episode more, it’s her heart. And it’s not something they pulled out of thin air: While it hasn’t really come into play a lot this season, last season was all about Anne slowly connecting with the town and being suprisingly good with people.. she can be blunt, dosen’t think things through.. but she does have empathy, problem solving and a desire to genuinely help people who need it. It’s a hard trait to learn and it’s one she does with natural ease. It’s a nice bit of showing her character and what she’s good at. Also the message turns out to be “bring the plantars” which.. yeah the second the first clue was bring, even without next episodes description, I could’ve guessed. And they close the episode as all episodes should close.. feeding nachos to a sewer gator.

Final Thoughts I: As you could tell by how easily I sped through it, the episode was...eh. It’s not bad, but no episode of the series has been truly terrible. It honestly, and this kind of complaint is overused, feels like filler. And granted I rarely watch anime, I know cartoons work different.. but this episode feels like it’s just there to provide more Marcy before we focus primarily on the Plantars again, and before the plot turns them against her. Which isn’t a bad thing mind and she’s great as she was last week. The problem is Anne. Her feeling down about herself, while a normal human emotion.. just dosen’t jibe with her normal brand of overconfidence. It’s not entirely out of the blue for her not ot feel as smart as marcy, it’s just set up poorly. We could’ve easily used a flashback or something to the human world to help make it feel like a more longstanding issue, than one that just crops up because Polly said a thing after a full episode of her being totally fine with Marcy being way smarter than her. Even the intro has her entirely fine with it. It would’ve flowed better if she played off she was fine, but secretly was trying to one up her and did feel dumber versus that being spelled out so early, as it woudl’ve fit more with the character. So yeah this one’s more just forgetable, a stop gap between two plot important episodes. And I don’t mind catching our breath after the last episode given it was a huge one what with introducing a new major character and a new setting and having a lot of action set pieces, I just know the show can do that BETTER, as seen with HandY Anne following up , if a year after, from the emotionally draining season 1 finale, they just.. didn’t this time and it just flopped a bit, but still had enough nice moments and good bits to make it still enjoyable.

That’s something I do have to give the show credit on as I have been hard on it, as i’ve said reviwing more forgetable episodes is hard: Most shows don’t make it out of season 1 without at least one terrible episode. OK KO had “Let’s Not Be Skeletons”, Ducktales had “The Beagle Birthday Massacre” (And i’m a huge fan of Lena as a character, just to be clear, her debut episode was terrible for other reasons) , Steven Universe had Arcade Mania, Adventure Time had “Freak City” and Legend of Korra had “The Spirit of Compettiton”.. and really the whole love triangle plot but that’s a story for another day.. all of these are really..e xcept arcade mania that one’s just dull and pointless. But i’m not: My point is it’s still a really good sign the show hasn’t really flopped over in the span of two seasons, with even the annoying quarallers pass still having some really good stuff to it. I may be critical, because as a critic that’s my job no one pays me for, but I do love this show and want to make it clear it’s still excellent. I’d rather watch this episode again than any episode of “Hoops”.. seriously I have no interest in that show and I question why Jake Johnston thought signing on for it was a good idea. Then again, Keith David was in this

And this

And BOTH of these

So I can’t blame Jake for wanting an easy paycheck when Screen Legend Keith David has done far worse for one. Speaking of Keith David....

The Plantars Check In

IT’S TIME.

We’ve had a sample of keith david with the omnoius end from last week but now we get the full package. And i’ve made no secret how much I absolutley love Keith David or how excited I was to see him joint he cast. The main is a voice acting and regular acting legend. Sure he usually does bit parts, but he does the hell out of them.

The man also has a longer history in disney than I ever realized. While I knew he played Goliath and Dr. Facilier, I had no idea just how much minor voice work he’s done for disney over the decades, doing a LOT of minor roles during the 90′s and even vocing Mufasa in “House of Mouse”, subbing for James Earl Jones which.. yeah if anyone’s the next Jamers Earl Jones, it’s Keith. He’s the king of making a meal out of side rolls and on the ocasions he gets a big one he makes a damn buffet of it, as seen with Gargoyles and Community.

youtube

So yeah, I love the guy and was excited for his first full apperance and pleasantly suprised. We open at what looks like a comibation of the temple of time and Hyrule Castle for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and I swear that’s what their going for with the background music here. Anyways after Lady Oliva tries to keep things formal, and reveals King Andrias has been king for over a thousand years, which makes things even more interesting, he .. happily hops off the throne, gives the Plantars a friendly greeting and then a bear hug. I was expecting him to be stern yet nice, for now, but this is a nice change of pace and i’ts shown by the way Olvia acts towards this behavior, wishing he’d be proper because “Most unorthodox” and all that monocle popping nonsense, that this is normal for him. So it’s not ENTIRELY an act for their benefit. He is apparently nice to his immediate subjects, vistors and especially Marcy. It’s also lovely to see Keith David play such a diffrent character from his usual villian, stoic badass or hilarious grandpa rolls, instead playing a cheerful and boisterous king. He honestly reminds me a lot fo River from star vs the forces of evil. Which by the way I also love Alan Tuduk and regret not bringing him up in either review river’s been in so far.

Anyway, we then get some more plot stuff as he meets anne, and we get a nice bit of him doing the “thumb of approval” and marveling at anne’s awkawrd fistbump in response. But it’s down to buisness, he wants to send his loyal knight and new friend he just met home, but needs the box. While anne reveals she don’t got it, with Hop Pop acting nervous as he realizes “oh shit, maybe lying to my surrogate grandaughter about something this important when we’re ont he way to a place where people will naturally want ot see the thing, and STILL not telling her after meeting Marcy and knowing sh’ed want to know about it too has started to backfire!” And yeah while he has sympathetic motives, and clearly knows SOMETHING about the box, and I supsect King Keith David does too but give me a second, his not telling Anne what he did at any time is only going to make it harder to trust him later, especially if Marcy ends up betraying them. He also notices something I actually failed to notice , as did Anne: The colorful stones on the calamity box are drained of color. So the King’s going to have to reserach this for a bit, with Marcy helping obviously and since Anne’s usless at research, the king instead happily treats the plantars to a vacation on him while they sort thigns out: A stay at the nicest hotel in the city, on his dime, and acess to his royal credit card, which given he’s king of everything means he just gave them the unlimited funds code.

Before we move on, my thoughts on the king: He’s hard to read. I do think he’s genuinely that nice a person.. but he CLEARLY has a dark side, having subjugated the toads and the frogs, which had to have happened under him as he’s first in his line and both remember the status quo as only such. Hop Pop dosen’t even question the way things are or one god king ruling over all for over a thousand years. The question is did he do so because he didn’t know better, because he thought he had to, or because

I do n’t know what that’s from but expect me to be using it a LOT from now on. My point is it’s hard to tell what his game is here. He could be a cruel asshole masquerading as a fun loving king on the service to sugarcoat his shadier actions.. or he could be a well intentioned extermist, doing awful things for what he sees as the greater good and possibly having lost the plot, or his empathy over thousands of years. Or he genunley could have no idea what he’s planning is bad and see no harm in it due to a different set of morals, again due to being immortal. There’s a LOT of intresting directions they can go with this character and i’m curious to see just what sort of vilian, or possibly good guy all along though I doubt it, he will be and given both grime, more recently i’ll admit but still, and sasha have been complex villians instead of one dimensional assholes, the show will no doubt give us something spectacular. HOpefully i’m not tempting fate but if I am, screw it, i’m rolling those dice. This is going to be godo and I can’t wait. It’ll also be intresting to see if he genuinely values marcy or is putting on the good king act and puzzles and all that to manipulate her. After all we’ve seen with Sasha that she’s easily manipulated, as far as we can tell, and sees this all as a game.. it’d be easy enough to lead her along by playing int othe genre and her desires to get her to play his game the way he needs her to. Though it’s also a question of if Marcy will see it or back the wrong side... though she MIGHT. while she isn’t great with people, she does know games and half the time a benevolent ally will turn out to be a dick in sheeps clothing. Though i’m hoping that isn’t the case for Marcy. But we’ll see..

Anyways with the first third or so of the episode down, the Plantars Check in, TITLE DROP, and Polly, Anne and Hop Pop all put on comfy robes and relax, while Sprig being sprig wants to go exploring though hop pop refuses to leave him wiht the card because of course he does. And honestly having done a few road trips myself.. yeah usually when you get back to the hotel first you want to just relax and crash, maybe go out for dinner or something with your friends, which they already did ahead of time, and recharge before doing allt he fun vacation stuff. Though I also relate to sprig as I too have been in hotels with arcades and pools from time to time as a kid and a teen and wanted to go do the fun stuff while everyone’s tired. Thankfully I also liked to read or play my various game consoles, from the game boy advance up to the switch on my most recent vacations,so I understand his restlessness. The rest of the episode goes about how you’d expect, with Sprig taking the card once hteir asleep and adventuring around and getting into various hilarious one off gags via montage, before loosing the card and fighting over it with a Bellhop Named Belle, played byt he always wonderful and always talented Krstien Schal.. about two episodes late for the gravity falls homage but never too late to do some voice acting. Sprig gets the card thanks to futurama caffine bullet time, saves paige and then saves her from firing by talking like a rich kid asshole to save paiges job before collapsing and being woken by everyone else wanting to go do fun shit.

Final Thoughts 2: This one was better. While again I sped through the recap section this time.. it was funny> While the plot was a simple: kid sneaks out and does something he’s not supposed to yet and gets into trouble and ironic ending and all that, it’s funny enough to be enjoyable, Kristin is game as always, and the gag of Sprig using the card to wave off the snooty man at the counter is great. While most of the meat of hte episode is with the king at the start, the rst of it is still an enjoyable come down episode after the plot heavy first third of this one and marcy at the gates and does the job way better thant he previous episode. While it doen’t have a lot of tie to character or what not, it dosen’t WASTE any either. I didn’t realize till this episode that while sprig certainly hasn’t been unterutlized, he really hasn’t had his own episode this season, sharing Quaraller’s Pass with poly and only having subplots in “A Caravan Named Desire” and “Marcy at the Gates”. Here he gets a plot to himself and while it does nothing for his overal character, it’s entertaining enough, with some great gags like the caffine bullet time, the aformentioned rich people gag and the hair bit being the best “Now to put on my hat!”. It just lets the character loose to have a fun side story. See I can dog on an episode for WASTING a good opprotunity, even if I understand the stress of production and what not.. but I won’t dog one for just having fun and letting a character have the limelight if it’s still entertaining which this was. The problem with say “Scavenger Hunt”, “The Ballad of Hopidiah Plantar”, “A Caravan Named Desire” and “The Ballad of Hopidiah Plantar” is that while their not BAD episodes, they had far more potential. This one knows it’s basically home alone 2 meets blank check, but actually entertaining, and justh as fun with it. Is it hte best episode ever? Probably not. But was it fun and a nice change of pace, as well as relatable to me and thus giving me a bit of the warm fuzzies, especially in this hellscape of our lord 2020? Absolutley. That does it for this week. if you liked this review i’ve reveiwed the rest of the season so far , just check the Disney tab on my blog, along with many other shows, and i’ll be covering the show weekly for the rest of the season, along with Ducktales when it comes back next month, so follow if you want more of that and random reblogs and such. You can also shoot me an ask if you have any things you want my opinon on, any episodes you want to request or you can direct message me to outright comission an episode of any aimated show for me to review for 5 bucks a review. Either way, till we meet again, bwahahahahaha.

💚 "Our Secret" 💚

[ Warning: this is a long one, folks!

I'll probably edit in a 'read more' break later ]

---------------------------

A soft knock at the front door snapped Inora out of her thoughts. She looked outside the window. It's late... What could anyone possibly want at this hour? Especially when a storm is ahead...

Despite her confusion, she made her way to the front door of her dorm, catching the attention of Grimm. "Someone there?" The creature said, keeping his voice low.

"Yes... My guess is that it could be Deuce and Ace again..."

"Or it could just be one of the ghosts."

Inora sighs, remembering that possibility. "Or the ghosts, yeah... Well, we can't waste time-"

"Forgettin' something? Again?"

Inora raised a brow for a moment, then saw herself in a nearby mirror. "O-Oh! Y-Yes, right..." She says, a small blush filling her cheeks. Shifting into this other form is going to be hard to get used to...

A quick shimmer of magic and she was once again Alyon, the disguise she used to fit in to Night Raven College; similar features, but still different.

"Inora, you really need to be careful."

"Aw, are you worried for me, Grimm?" Inora said teasingly.

Grimm, somehow, blushed at the accusation. "N-No! I-I'm just warning you!"

Inora chuckles, turning her attention back to the door. She opened it, expecting the two first-years from Heartslabyul, Deuce and Ace, to be standing there.

"Now, what could you two possibly want-"

"Two?"

Inora trailed off, realizing the voice that answered was very much not Deuce or Ace.

It was someone new. Someone... Tall.

Inora slowly looked up for her eyes to meet bright, electric green ones. They almost seemed to be glowing in the dark of the night. The figure had pitch black hair that almost seemed blue... With two towering horns placed atop his head. And yet...

Inora felt no fear.

It was more confusion, really. She had never seen this person in her life, nor had this person ever met her... So why were they here?

"... Hello?"

Inora snaps out of her thoughts coming back to reality. "O-Oh! Uh... S-Sorry, I... I-I thought you were someone else... I-I don't get many visitors at this dorm. U-Uh... What are you doing here anyway, i-if you don't mind me asking...?"

"I... I've lost my way around this place, and I don't think I'll be able to make it to my dorm in time before the storm ahead hits."

"O-Oh! Well, then, come in! Make yourself comfortable."

Inora knew a little more information from just that conversation as she stepped to the side, letting the stranger in. They're a student here... But of what dorm? I'm sure I've seen that uniform somewhere...

It seems that her questions were immediately answered when she saw the crest on the armband of his uniform.

Diasomnia.

Inora kept her composure despite the revelation, but it was still a shock to her. She had heard others talk about the dorm. Most of the students practically revered them. She had only seen 3 of them that day when Trey had explained all the dorms to her... But she had never seen this man out of those three.

Who are you...?

"U-Uh... Do you want anything? Tea, maybe? I-I managed to find some in this place. You would think there wouldn't be much to find in an old dorm but... You'd be surprised." Inora says, chuckling softly. She was trying to make light conversation through her quiet shock.

"That... Would be lovely, thank you."

Inora nods, and quickly rushes into the small kitchen, taking Grimm in with her despite his protests. In an instant, a familiar shimmer of magic surrounded her and she was back in her normal form. This was... A constant issue that she could fix later. I really need to work on that... I need to control my magic a little better...

"Hey! What was that about-?!"

"Shhh! Quiet down, Grimm, please!"

"What's going on?"

"There's someone from Diasomnia here."

"... What?"

"I-I don't know either. He wasn't any of the three we've seen before either. I-I don't know who he is!"

"What are you gonna do?"

"Hopefully keep my form on long enough until he's gone. It's a risk but I can't let anyone find out."

"Are you sure you can do that?"

Inora hesitates, biting her bottom lip slightly in thought. "I... I'm not sure... B-But it won't hurt to try! I-It might even be a good form of practice!"

"I-Inora-"

"Don't worry, Grimm, everything will be fine!"

Inora turns away from Grimm to get started on the tea for her guest...

Only to find those same bright green eyes staring straight at her.

A long, long silence filled the room in that moment. Inora could hear her heart thumping loudly in her ears. When... When did he come in here...?!

Fear started to creep in her veins. She had been caught so easily, and now she had to do something about it... But just what could she do?

"You want me to torch him-"

"No. No. No, Grimm. L-Let me handle this."

Inora's voice shook slightly, but she kept her composure. "N-Now... L-Lets talk about this. Th-There's no need to freak out and make any sort of scene-"

"... Interesting."

"... Huh?"

The student in front of her looks over her form, more intrigued than freaked out. "... And here I thought you didn't have magic. This certainly is quite the development."

"... Y-You... You know who I am?"

A small chuckle escapes him, sounding like the thunder that raged outside, threatening to get closer. "Is there anyone who doesn't know you and your little furry companion? You clearly underestimate how fast information spreads around here."

Inora, weirdly enough, felt relieved... But that didn't make her less wary. "You... You're not mad? You're not freaked out or anything...?"

"Far from it. Yes, this is quite the turn of events but... An interesting and plesant one, I must admit."

Inora was now the one shocked. She had feared this moment would happen with anyone but... Not like this. What is happening here? He seemed so stoic earlier.

"Tell you what. We'll discuss it over some tea. That should calm the situation down. You look like you've seen a ghost. I'll be waiting."

"... Right."

------------------------

"So this happened recently?"

"Practically after the first day I arrived. This is me normally. I knew something was off when I arrived... I just had to look in the mirror."

"... Does anyone else know?"

"Well, only Grimm knew... But now you know as well. Not even the headmaster knows."

"Impressive. Perhaps you can keep the illusion up until you eventually go home."

Inora laughs, almost sad. "Well... If I go home, that is."

"Are you worried you might stay here forever?"

"If the the headmaster can't find any way, then... Yes."

The student chuckles. "It's not so bad here. Sure, you may have your fair share of enemies and friends... But, it could be worse."

"That's fair... So what will you be?"

He raises a brow. "Pardon?"

Inora chuckles. "You. What will you be? A friend or an enemy?"

"... A friend, of course. You've given me no reason for me to become an enemy."

"Despite the fact that I tricked you?"

"Dear, I consider that bravery. People tend to be... Afraid of me."

Inora tilts her head slightly. "Afraid? What reasons would I be afraid of you? Sure you've... Caught me by suprise within the last hour but... Your presence hasn't made me afraid."

He looks at her, his eyes having a gleam of slighg hope despite their stoic demeanor. "... You really mean that?"

Inora nods. "Every word."

He smiles, his fangs prominent; a genuine smile. A rare occurance, considering very few people have been able to do such a thing.

"Well... I suppose we are friends, then... Or allies, even!

"I suppose."

They both laugh. Inora felt slightly better at the situation, as if this stranger-turned-friend was someone she could confide in other than Grimm. She surely couldn't do so with Deuce and Ace. It's not that she didn't trust them, she did trust them... She was just afraid of the outcome.

"So... What's the new students real name, hm? I've heard the name 'Alyon' around, but what do you truly call yourself?"

"...Inora. Alyon is my surname.... Which also works surprisingly well as a normal name."

"Well, Inora... It's been lovely meeting and talking with you... But I must go."

"W-Wait! There's a storm out there... A-Are you sure you wish to go all the way back to the Diasomnia dorm?"

"So you've noticed... Very perceptive." He says, not bothering to question the fact of how she knew. He simply smiles at her worry. "It's fine, really. I just remembered a quicker way back. I wouldn't want to worry the others in my dorm."

Inora hadn't thought about that. "O-Oh. R-Right, then... I-I'll walk you out."

Inora follows the mysterious student to the door, opening it for him.

"Well, it was a pleasure talking to you, Inora... Or, should I say, Alyon?" He says, a knowing smile on his lips.

A faint blush appears on her cheeks. "... Th-This stays between us, right? You won't tell anyone what you saw?"

"Of course I won't. Now why would I do that to a friend?"

"You have a point..." Inora replied with a small chuckle. "Our secret?"

"Our secret."

She then remembered something, and was quick to bring it up as he started to walk away.

"W-Wait! I-I never got your name!"

"You'll know in time!"

And with that, he was quickly out of her sight.

Inora knew what just happened was entirely real, yet it felt surreal at the same time. She couldn't help but... Laugh at the situation, still laughing as she closed the door.

"Well, then... Until we meet again, Horns."

It Doesn't Matter

pairings: han seungwoo x reader

genre: romance, fluff, bestfriends turned into lovers

warnings: none

word count: 1601 words

It didn't matter that a lot of girls were after your bestfriend. It didn't matter that he dated a lot of girls despite of you being there. It didn't matter that he was super tall and then there was you, smol as a bean. What mattered was, he was your best friend, he may not be your boyfriend — something you dreamt of, and that's what is important.

You had someone constant in your life and that was enough.

"Honey, wake up," your mother said as she pulled your blanket away from you. You grumbled as you bury your head further into your pillow if that was possible.

You were sure it was a weekend so you didn't know why your mother was waking you up early. "Leave me alone," you huffed, curling into your bed. You were determined to go back to sleep whether you had a blanket or not. You were too tired to function anyway.

"I think I'm a good person. I don't know why I have a daughter as stubborn as you! I've been waking you up a lot of times already. Seungwoo is outside. He said you agreed on getting breakfast this morning!" Your mom started ranting and honestly it wasn't something new. It was an everyday scenario. Nothing registered much in your brain except for the name Seungwoo.

Your eyes widened in surprise and in recognition. How can you forget? Every Saturday of the month, you both agreed to take breakfast. It was like a tradition. No matter how busy you both were, you tried to catch up.

It was way easier before when you were still neighbors. You always slept in his room or vice versa. It didn't matter that you were a girl. He only saw you as a brother (although it was funny because you were a girl) and nothing more.

"Holy shit!" You sat up as you remembered your plans for today. It was so quick that you got dizzy for a moment.

"Language!" Your mother reprimanded. "Now go get ready, I'll tell him that you're already up," she said as she folded your blanket and left it at the foot of the bed. She closed the door as she walked out.

It's been two weeks since you saw him. You were so caught up in school that you were not able to include him in your schedule. You were supposed to make it up to him today.

"Fucking hell," you mumbled to yourself as you dashed straight into the bathroom and took a quick shower. Then as quick as lightning, you put on the first set of clothes you saw.

For sure you were getting a lot of side comments from Seungwoo for wearing a dress but you didn't care. You were running late already.

You blow dry your hair before putting it up in a ponytail and applied minimal make-up. For once, you wanted to look nice. Not like it was a date or anything, psh.

"I'm really sorry!" You shouted as you walked out your room and saw that Seungwoo was already there, patiently waiting for you as always. Truth be told, he has been waiting for an hour already. You were difficult to wake up so he understood. He also understood why you couldn't meet him because you were graduating from highschool already and he was just as busy in the university, being 2 years older than you, but he'd find time for you. Always.

Seungwoo looked at you briefly before a blush crept on his cheeks. You raised your eyebrows but he was already looking away. It wasn't his first time to see you wearing a dress but you weren't always wearing one so it was a pleasant suprise for him. He thought you looked pretty but he was too shy to admit it anyway.

"Thank you so much, eomma. I'll see you later when I drop y/n home," Seungwoo flashed your mom a bright smile before starting to walk out the door. He addressed your mom as his mom since you were always together.

"Bye ma! I'll text you," you hugged your mom quickly before following him outside.

"Seungwoo, I'm really sorry. I was so tired, I forgot to put on the alarm," you apologized as you tried to keep up with his pace. Since he was tall, he had long strides and you had to walk twice as fast in order to catch up with him.

He only shrugged his shoulders in response. You knew he wasn't really mad. He rarely got mad. But it still made you feel bad.

Once you reached the cafe in silence, you ordered your drinks first before you sat in your usual table which was beside the huge window which gave you the opportunity to see different people passing by.

Seungwoo wasn't speaking, still. As you got up to get your drinks, you placed them on the table and went back to your seat in front of him.

"I'm sorry, no excuses. I wasn't able to meet you for the past two weeks and now I forgot about it. I overslept," you weren't able to look at him in the eyes because you felt guilty, so you bowed your head down and looked at your fingers instead.

He couldn't bear to see you sad so he sighed, "I'm sorry as well. It's just that I really missed you," he frowned.

You looked up at him, smiling a bit. "I missed you, too. I swear I'll make it up to you today."

For the first time today, he flashed a genuine smile. The kind of smile where his dimples would show. "So tell me about your preparations for your upcoming graduation."

And so that's how the rest of your morning went. You talking about your plans for graduation and him telling his adventures in his new university.

You didn't think he noticed but he did. The way you would space out because you felt like you were getting lost in his eyes. Or the way you would unconsciously smile when you hear his laugh. The way your eyes would fleet towards his lips whenever he'd smile or laugh at something stupid you said.

It made his heart race like a fool. He was dumb to date other girls. He thought he only loved you like a sister. But during his time away in the university, he realized he just couldn't like any other girls anymore. You were the one for him and he wanted to be sure of his feelings before he made a move.

"Smile for me, captain!" You exclaimed before pulling out your camera and taking a quick photo of Seungwoo.

You spent the whole day together. In the cafe, in the arcade, you ate lunch in the small restaurant in town that served spicy Thai dishes. By the end of the day, you were supposed to eat dinner in your house.

Whenever you were with him, it felt like time was passing by quickly. You wanted it to stop but it couldn't.

Seungwoo walked you home. He always did.

"Thank you for today, captain. I really missed you. Now go home before it gets too late," you smiled up at him as you approached your gate.

He seemed hesitant and super out of it so you asked if he was okay. He paced a few steps forward and then back. It was now or never.

"Listen... y/n, I know this may sound sudden. And I think this will freak you out. But I've been thinking about this a lot. I thought I just missed you when I didn't see you for a while but I guess I've been misreading my feelings..." he trailed off, not being able to look at you.

Your heart started beating faster. You had an idea about where this was going to. But you needed to hear it from him.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I like you. Not just as my sister or as my bestfriend. But as a woman. You're the one for me. And I'm not asking for an answer. I'd get it if you would say no,"

"Agreeing to this puts our friendship at risk. There's no guarantee and I can't promise that we'll work out. But what I can promise is, I'm going to try. We're going to try. I guess if you like me back. If not, I completely understand. You're very important to me and I don't think I can stand it if I'll see you with another guy who's not me," he started talking really fast, a habit of his when he gets really nervous. It was a good thing you heard and understood what he was saying.

You tapped your cheeks a couple of times, to make sure you were awake and not dreaming. You blushed so hard you were sure you looked like a tomato.

"So what do you say?" He asked as he scratched the back of his neck, his cheeks warming up as well.

"What do you think? You talk too much, Han Seungwoo," you grinned as you wrapped your arms around his torso. You were atleast 5'4" in height and so when the two of you hugged, you were just at his chest level.

You felt him exhale a breath of relief when you hugged him. As a reply, he wrapped his arms around you and felt him kiss the top of your head.

It was indeed a big step to take, but Seungwoo was worth all of the what-ifs and and risks.

You were finally home.

Starker: Party Games Pt. 3

I'd call this a story, this is the first time in a while ive loved what ive written and gotten so deep into a story.

💛💛💛

Peter waits while Ned's mom is in the kitchen to tell him about Tony. His changed demeanor, defending him and that god awful cringey hug-like thing.

Ned is smirking the entire time, the only thought on his mind. "He so likes you Peter."

"What? No! That's insane!" He's shocked at the accusation, never in a million years would he have thought of something like that.

"Listen, he treats you like shit for what- five years, then a traumatizing experience sets him straight and his true love for you blooms out, reaching out for you because he's cared all this time! He-" He runs out of air, fanboying taking over for a second.

"I honestly don't think that Ned, maybe he's just messing with me." Peter shrugs and Ned belches "Maybe it's Maybelline Peter, it's real." He slams his hand on the table.

"Like with children, they bully the ones they like because they don't know how to handle their feelings. Hey, maybe you actually shook him, so now he feels bad for treating you like shit."

"Ned! Will you please stop with your dumb love story theories please! I don't like Stark!" He growls, silencing Ned.

He takes a deep breath, running his hands through his hair. "Maybe he feels bad, but he'll turn back to beating the shit out of me. Maybe he's having a hard time at home, his dad seems like an asshole every time he's at school. I don't know and don't care Ned, sorry but the only thing I worry about is having to explain my injuries to Aunt May."

Ned stares down at his hands as his mom returns with desert. "Peter honey, do you want to bring some of this home for May?" She smiles, obviously hearing the conversation a few seconds ago.

__________

Michelle is right by his side as he arrives at school. "I've got open lunch, as should you and Toe-knee s-dork." She smiles, her iconic lazy grin.

"What's my nickname?" He asks, genuinely curious. "Penis Parker, I didn't come up with that one... Uh, Dickwad, Loser, Bones-"

"That's pretty cool, Bones." Peter shrugs and MJ giggles. "Come on, are you that stupid that you don't get it? No one has ever seen you eat and you are literally skin and bones, skin isn't a good nickname however."

"Excuse me??" Peter shouts, starling MJ. "What? Don't shoot me, Stark came up with that one. Plus, it's true.. you don't eat." She shrugs and Peter is fuming.

"How about you prove S-dork wrong and take us to lunch because you are a loser." MJ grabs onto his arm. "Pleeeease, pretty please with Penis Parker on.. top? Geez that's wrong."

"Fine! I'll prove S-dork wrong! Tell him we are going to lunch." He's too pissed to think of what he's getting into.

"Thanks Petey, I'll drive us." She kisses him on the forehead and rushes away.

He wipes the spittle off, moaning in disgust. Not that MJ was disgusting or anything, it's just that she's more of a criticism friend. One that treats him like shit to improve him.

Boy, was he really that obvious when he didn't eat? He wouldn't say he had an eating disorder or anything, just that he eats when he's hungry.

And he just so happens to not be hungry during the morning or school hours.

Most people scoff at him when he sits at lunch, alone, with no food, looking like his usual loser self.

"How do you stay so skinny Peter?" "Are you starving yourself for attention or something?" "You know, some people are actually starving with no access to food." "Why don't you eat?" "Do you need to talk to the school counselor?" "Peter, we talked about this, you are worrying everyone."

It was all fine, brush it off okay until Stark got involved. Which, he's been getting mad at Stark a lot in the past three days.

After all this time, doesn't Stark deserve it?

__________

He's going to see Peter, holy shit.

Hooooly shit, he's going to screw this up. "That's cool, today?" He asks, voice breaking slightly. "Yeah, meet me by my trash van.. Peter's paying so get some expensive shit." MJ finger guns him and walks away. Tony sighs, running his fingers through his hair.

As long as I don't touch him, look at him or even breathe in his direction, I should be fine.

__________

It doesn't take Peter too long to find MJ's "trash van" she had mentioned a few minutes ago. It was truly a piece of garbage.

The brown paint was peeling, a rust colored metal beneath it. Random stickers and decals were littered all over the vehicle.

And, best of all, there were only two seats.

MJ had the other two rows removed when she went on a spontaneous vacation for three weeks in Louisiana.

"Hey, be glad I got rid of the mattress that was in here. I spilled food all over that disgusting thing. Now you can either sit on Tony up in the front with me, or sit on the floor in the back." She gestures to Tony, who looks ahead ignoring Peter.

Oh, what else was new? What the hell was wrong with him?

"I'll take the floor, thanks." He mutters, swinging open the door and slamming it behind him.

MJ gets in the drivers seat and laughs. "Are you sure you don't want to sit on Stark's lap? I know how uncomfortable the floor is, I haven't had a chance to vacuum the floor in like... months."

Tony audibly sighs, looking down at his hands and Peter rolls his eyes. "I'll manage a two minute drive Michelle."

"Oh I think it's gonna be more than two minutes Pete." She looks at him through the mirror, smiling deviously. "Ever been to that new joint near the public library?"

Peter groans, remembering him and May looking at the high-end luxurious establishment with want. "I can't pay for that!" He exclaims as MJ starts to drive.

"You lost, you agreed to buy us food." MJ taps on Tony's elbow. "This loser has to pay, back me up here."

He takes a deep breath and looks at Peter through the mirror. "You lost fair and square, and as a loser you suck."

Peter glares at him "You swallow."

A spark of suprise in Tony's eyes. "You choke."

"Nope bitch, I could shove an entire cucumber in my mouth and not gag." He retorts and MJ busts out laughing.

He turns red immediately, wanting to take those words back. He could just imagine the rumors now.

But a dark look is now in Tony's eyes, something that Peter has never seen before. Is it a new level of anger? Embarrassment?

He looks away quickly, eyes now glued to the floor. "YOU ARE A FUDGING HOOT PARKER." MJ screams out, shaking from all the laughing.

He can feel Tony's eyes still on him as Michelle speeds to the restaurant. "Are we gonna be back in time for class?" Peter asks worriedly.

"Okay you freaking psycho, you need to take a chill pill, everyone has skipped classes before. You'll survive without English." She gasps in awe at the restaurant. "Beautiful, plus we only have like 20 some minutes until class so we are definitely gonna miss class." She shrugs as she nearly hits a car while parking.

Peter clamours out of the van awkwardly as Tony waits impaitenly behind him, silent unlike usual.

MJ grabs Peter's arm, dragging him to the front. "Get yourself together, you look awful. They'll turn us down if we look poor. Tony is fine." She messes with his hair in attempt to fix it.

Peter looks at Tony and can't help but blush. He did look good.

Tight jeans and t-shirt which both hugged his godlike figure. A baggy letterman jacket hides those chis-

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?

Peter shakes his head and sighs. It's best to just pay attention to Michelle's bullshit.

God no.. -he did have a godlike figure, it's undeniable. No wonder he was fucking girls every other night. Those "chisled" arms have beaten the shit out of Peter more times than he could count on seven hands.

What the hell was he doing? This jerkweed had been beating the shit out of him relentlessly for the past like five years. Tearing him down emotionally, mentally and physically without remorse.

"Table for 3?" He asks to the beautiful hostess. She smiles at him with kind eyes. "How old are you?"

"Are you fucking kidding me? Stop hitting on this loser and get us a table." Tony cuts in, a grimace on his lips.

Her smile fades, turned to a growl. "There's an age limit in this establishment mister, I'd watch your mouth." She hisses and Michelle pulls Tony back. "Me and the jackass are 22, the angel is 21." She bluffs.

The smile returns "Great, if you will all follow me." She leads them to a booth. Luckily, Michelle seats herself between Peter and Tony. Unluckily, they face each other and Tony tends to stare.

"Guys... please go easy on me, I only have like 30 right now.." He begs. "Fine, what are you having?" Michelle puts down her menu.

"Oh, probably nothing.. I made manicotti in Culinary this morning." It's not exactly the truth. "I'm just getting this out of the way now so you won't bother me about it later." He shrugs, pulling out his wallet. "If I give you the money right now can I just leave?" He pulls out a wad of cash and holds it in front of MJ.

She looks a bit worried. "Seriously? I meant that we all have dinner, in this case lunch, together." There's a hint of hurt in her tone.

He sighs, exasperated. "Look, I'm not like you two where it's cool and okay to be late or skip class. You're right I'm a loser, I can walk back to school. Run to make it on time." He scoots to leave the booth but a waitress arrives.

"Would you all like something to drink?"

MJ puts on a fake smile. "Manhattan please."

What??

"Sazerac, with a little more absinthe if you could." Tony grins, voice smooth like melted butter.

"And you sir?" She turns to him, book in hand. "I.. uh-.. Dr. Pepper?" He feels stupid saying it, but what the hell????

She nods, smirking slightly and walks away. MJ giggles uncontrollably and Tony sighs. "We are not over 21! She didn't even ID us!!! This is wrong!" He accuses.

"Peter, relax for the first time in your life. Haven't you ever had a sip while your parents weren't looking?" MJ raises her eyebrows expectantly.

"First off, I don't have any parents and second, no! I don't drink and neither should you! It's expensive as hell! I bet what y'all just got was over 30 bucks!" He whispers violently.

MJ looks at the menu. "No actually 12.35, so you better check that wallet again."

Tony bites his lip, foot tapping unconsciously under the table. "MJ? Why did you choose such an expensive restaurant when we don't have time and Peter doesn't have the money?" The latter bothers him more.

Peter stares down at his hands, biting his lip. "Tony, lets just have him get drinks now and he can buy us food when we have more time." She waves at the waitress.

She rushes over with her toothy smile. "Yes?" She tries to hard to be like all of the other waitresses. "Something came up and we can only get drinks, is that okay?" MJ sounds polite for once.

She nods and hurries back into the kitchens, a few seconds later the drinks are here.

"Peter, try mine." Michelle waves her drink in his face. "No, we shouldn't be drinking especially when you are driving!" He hisses at her, keeping his voice low.

He hears Tony scoff and the rage just builds inside him. "That's why you should drink this so I can drive." She smirks, pulling the drink up to her lips and sighs. "You are missing out, drink your Dr. Pepper you virgin."

What kind of insult is that?

Yandere!Steve Rogers X Reader

WARNINGS: Dark Themes, Violence

An imagine where Steve genuinely believes the reader is his S/o, and snaps when proven otherwise, request by: anon

Hope this is what you were hoping for!

(B/n)= Boyfriend's name

-----

"How is my beautiful (Y/n) doing today?" Steve asked with a big grin.

"I'm fine, Steve. Thank you. Just so you know though, I'm not-"

"That's great, Doll! I'm glad you're doin' ok." He gently cupped your face in one of his large hands. "I hate to run off on you, but I've got somewhere to be." He gave you a peck on the cheek, and left. You sighed. I'm not his, but he won't listen to me. He doesn't want to believe it. You cared about Steve, but not like that. You were dating someone else. You never agreed to be Steve's girlfriend, and you weren't; but for some reason, he truly believed the two of you were together.

You shook your head, and went to meet up with your boyfriend (Sorry if you have a girlfriend, please just roll with it). You had been in love with (b/n) ever since you could remember, and that would never change.

"(Y/n)!" (B/n) smiled, giving you a tight, loving hug.

"Hey, (B/n)." You breathed.

"So where do you wanna go?" He asked, releasing you from his hold. You shrugged.

"Anywhere, as long as it's with you." The two of you laughed, and went on your way.

*Time Skip of a couple of hours*

As the day drew to a close, (b/n) smiled and held you close. He looked into your eyes, and you into his.

"(Y/n), I love you." Your heart raced as he slowly leaned closer, to steal a kiss. You hummed.

"(B/n-" Before he could reach your lips, you were forcefully yanked away. You squeaked in suprise, looking up to see who it's was. "S-steve?" He held you tightly against his hard chest, as he shot a deadly glare at (B/n).

"How could you, Doll? Cheating on me? I thought we were in love!" You sighed.

"Steve, I'm not cheating on you."

"But you were about to-"

"-Im not cheating on you..." You turned to (B/n). "Because you and I were never together in the first place, Steve. I'm (B/n)'s girlfriend." When you looked back at Steve, you got almost scared. His face was filled with confusion, sadness, need, anger.

"So he's in the way."

"Who are you? Just let her go already!" (B/n) said, finally snapping out of his initial shock. He began to walk toward you and Steve.

"(B/n), stop!" You yelled. He looked at you with suprise.

"W-what do you-"

"He's... A super soldier, (B/n). He's Captain America! I don't want you to get hurt..." You said, not fully knowing Steve's intentions. (B/n) looked freaked out, not knowing what to do.

"He's not even going to try to help you? I would move Heaven and Earth for you.He doesn't deserve you, Doll!" He yelled. You winced.

"Please don't hurt me..." Steve looked at you softly with hurt in his eyes.

"(Y/n)... I would never hurt you. You're my special girl..." His gaze hardened as he looked up towards (B/n). "I'm gonna hurt him." (B/n)'s eyes widened in fear. Steve released you, glaring at (B/n). He slowly walked towards him. You quickly jumped in front of Steve, placing your hands on his chest and gazing up to look him in the eyes.

"Steve, please... Just take me!"

"(Y/n), no, dont-!"

"I'll come with you, and I'll be yours, ok?" You gently cupped his face with one hand. "We... We can cuddle and laugh and have... Kids.. Ok?" Steve seemed to love the idea, like it was something he had dreamed about many times before. "Just please... Let him live." You heard (B/n) crying behind you, frustrated. What could he possibly do?

"... We can be together Baby Doll?" You gulped, saying goodbye to your freedom.

"Forever."

Steve looked at you with an almost predatory gaze. He had finally caught his prey, or, should I say, his mate.

"I'll let him live. Only because I love you." You breathed a sigh of relief. Your sigh of relief quickly turned to a scream of horror, though. Steve easily walked past you and began to beat (B/n).

"Steve!" You screamed. "Stop, you'll kill him! You promised!!" (B/n)'s screams of agony filled your ears, making you feel sick. "Steve!" You cried. Steve laughed as you tried desperately to pull him off of (B/n), but got nowhere. You pounded your fists against him, but it was hopeless. He was so much stronger than you were.

"Gaah!!" (B/n) screamed following two loud snaps.

"Steve his arms! You broke his arms!" Tears streamed endlessly down your face. Finally, Steve stood up, and left (B/n) on the ground, not even conscious. He scooped you up, holding you bridal style.

"My beautiful (Y/n)..."

"You promised!" You screamed pounding his chest as hard as you could, though it obviously didn't faze him one bit. "You lied to me!" Steve looked offended.

"That won't kill him. I made sure of it Baby Doll. I would never lie to you." He pressed his forehead against yours.

"That's not what I-"

"Now," He said, ignoring you. "What is it that you owe me, Doll? Some cuddles, laughs, and..." He gently pressed his lips to yours."Kids."

nothing happens by chance | 01

Part: 1/?

• pairing: Jimin x Reader

• genre: fluff/romance, angst, (possible future smut scenes)

• words: 2,4k

• disclaimer: language, mentions of alcohol / depression / cheating / violence, bad grammar (lol) all throughout the series

↳ You're life is not really going the way you want to.

The fact that you're dad died is not even the worst thing that could happen to you, but you also take over his company to fullfill his dreams of making the company successfull even after his dead. You get an amazing chance to hand over the snacks that the company is selling at the BBMAS, where you also meet Park Jimin. A very charming and breathtaking idol that sweeps you of your feet and who shows you the beautiful moments in life. But you're ex-boyfriend is not quite into the idea of you finally getting your happiness...

→ Chapter 1: "What is the you that you've dreamt of?"

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

"Do you think we could get even a slightly chance to hand out our snacks at the BBMAS?”

You looked up to see Arlo's face. His smile was really wide and in his eyes you could see that he was confident when it comes to this deal. Well you were happy that one of you guys were that optimistic...

"You can trust me, boss!" He tried to wink at you but he failed horribly. Oh my gosh, what did you even think of when you took over this business? "When you're sure of this, I'm sure of this!" You tried to look at the positive things, there's nothing you can do. Forcing yourself to smile you gave him a smile back and send him with the job to get this promo. Hell knows the company needed it.

"You need to look at the bright side! When you get this promotion you could literally hand Harry Styles some chips. FREAKING HARRY STYLES?! Isn't that crazy?" You rolled your eyes as you listened to Tori's hyper voice. Tori was your best friend and (sadly) she is the most optimistic person there ever is in this world. I mean she could be optimistic since everything in her life seemed to go very well. Good love life? Check. Good job? Check. Full of happiness and trying to spread it everywhere with her annoying bright smile? Double check. "Yeah that would be so cool! And maybe I hand over Ariana Grande some bread sticks and tell her how important that is, so my life wouldn't get ruined!" The last few words escaped your lips like cuss words but just because you accidentally dropped all of your papers. "Come on! It's going to be awesome believe me!"- "I also wanted to believe you when you told me that a year ago when I took over this damn business!"

Suddenly there was a pause on the other side of the line. "Tori? Are you still here?"

"Umm. I'm sorry a client wants something from me... I need to hang up see you soon! Love you!" "Love you too!" She hung up and you realized how sick you were with this life ad job. 'Just one win would make my dad so proud' you thought, hoping he would look down at you and keeping you in his eyes.

As soon as you started to pack your things into your bag, you heard your name metres away. "Y/N!!" You turned over and saw an sweaty Arlo sprinting over to you. "Miss Y/N! We got it!" When he finally arrived in front of you, he shoved his phone into your face. Completely suprised you looked at it:

"Thank you for your Service Mr. Hempshire. We would love to see you handing out your products in the backstage area! For more details contact us..."

You smiled. Finally the victory was within your reach. "Tell them we would love to and if there is any dress codes we need to know." He nodded like a cute smiley puppy and already started to type in his phone.

You held him back. "Good job Arlo!" You winked at him. He nodded and once again, for no apparent reason, he started to sprint upstairs.

2 weeks later

"I'm so nervous. Damn what happens when I accidentally spill coke all over Shawn Mendes suit?" Your mom laughed and handed your a tea cup. "What is this?" You asked suspiciously. "Nothing special. Just your dad's famous hot chocolate." - "Oh really?!" You took the cup from her hand as soon as your heard her words, and took a sip. It's still as good as the first sip you took when you were 5 years old. "What have I done to deserve this kind of surprise?" Your mom stroked your hair and started to become a bit more serious. "I know how you must feel Y/N." You stopped drinking and looked right into her eyes. She had the same eyes as your dad. You were always so surprised by the fact that they had the same eyes. Those same hazel eyes that were just so... mesmerizing. "You started to take care of our family when you were so young. Dropped out of college.." -"That's what I needed to do, mom. I didn't have any other choice. It's alri..." Your mom raised her hand. "It's not! It's not fair. You shouldn't have to deal with all of this." You smiled. Your mom was always such an inspiration to you. Even though she lost the love of her life she never even once showed you or your sister her weakness. Never. She always would lock herself up in her room and cry. That's the one thing she never wanted to show. Weakness. You kinda understood why she handles it that way. Because you're the same.

You took your last sip, put the cup on the shelf and hugged your mom. "It's alright. I do it for dad. He deserves to have a win for the company. Even though he is not here anymore... I know that he is proud of me." Your mom faced you. "He definitely is! Who wouldn't be proud ofyou?"

"We need all of this! Just take all the boxes and follow me, please."

The workers were big men who could carry 4 big boxes at once. One of them looked very grumpy and scoffed when you gave them an order. You gave him an apologizing look and wanted to clear the fact that you were also just doing your job and there are literally a billion things you would rather do than handing out chips and cookies to world stars. When you finally unboxed everything and made sure all of the snacks looked tasty at first sight, you gave Arlo a serious look that showed some kind of "be aware" sign. He nodded and gave you a salute. There is one thing you need to do before you could hand over snacks. You needed to call your best friend.

"Okay, you need to know that I am freaking nervous. And I look... too much. All of this is too much." You looked at the fancy bathroom mirror and couldn't identify yourself. You straight up looked like a celebrity. The management of the BBMAS were adamant that you get a little makeover. It was still weird though... "Shut up! And have fun! I'm so sad that I can't be there with you." A smile started to form on your lips. Tori was always just... there. Even though she can't be here she still is... kinda here. "Just don't think that this is something you need to attend to because of that company that you hate. Just think that this is a party and maybe.. just maybe! There will be also some cute famous boys you can flirt with?" You snorted. "That's not the reason why I'm here.." You started to look closer at your beautiful doppelganger in the mirror. "But... I'm not Y/N anymore. Not today." -"That's my girl!" - "Okay I need to go now. Bye!"

When you left the ladies restroom, you made sure no one would look your way. You shouldn't be the lady that they saw leaving the bathroom before and then expect them to eat something from your stand. That's weird.

While you were making sure no one would see you, you also started to run faster to your stand even though you couldn't really see where you're walking, as you were acting like a ninja to make sure that no one would see you.

But with your non existent luck you bumped into someone.

And that was not soft! You fell down so that made the situation more difficult. You saw black expensive shoes in front of you. You were prepared to apologize your ass out of it. When you finally looked up you were just so... hypnotized by that much beauty. He smiled genuinely and wasn't even mad that you bumped into him. He took your hand and helped you up. How can you possibly describe that beautiful creature of a men? Well he just looked better than any men you ever saw in your entire life. He had golden shining hair and such a beautiful eye smile. You recognized that he was just a few centimetres taller than you. He smiled again and was still holding your hand. "Are you okay?" You just looked into his eyes. It was clear that he wore lenses but those eyes were still so... whoa... "Uhm.. yea..uh.." You took your hand back and started to make sure you didn't ruin the dress. After all, you got it from your sister and she would kill you, if she knew that you destroyed it. He laughed. What a beautiful laugh... It sounded so clear and light. "I'm sorry. I was not really looking into the right way when I..." He shook his head. "It's alright. Things like that happen so much!" He saw someone giving him a signal that he should follow him. "I'm sorry I need to go. But I hope we see each other soon and I can buy you a drink?" You nodded still mesmerized by his beauty. He bowed slightly and ran to his possible manager.

Still puzzled about that little accident that just happened you walked back to your stand. "Miss Y/N? Is everything okay? You look like you just saw a ghost." Arlo started to scan your whole body to see if you hurt yourself somewhere on the way. Yeah you are a little clumsy... "No everything is fine. Really! I stay here. You should walk around and hand these over." You showed him the big plates of peanut butter cookies. He nodded slightly with a confused look on his face. You sat down and checked your phone. Since no one really was in the backstage area right now you scrolled through your Instagram feed just to see you're little sister's face. She looked so...happy. But not the normal kind of happy. She really looked like she was living the life. You were so intensely happy for her. She deserves it. Atleast one of you girls should be living the life they always wanted. It was her first year on college. You know how afraid she was to attend. But you made her believe that it's going to be awesome and that she will find a lot of new friends. And it really looks like she did find friends. You smiled. You're heart was so warm after seeing her pictures. You even completely forgot the little accident you just had with that mysterious hottie. You sat there for half an hour just scrolling through my social media and completely forgetting the time when you suddenly realized that someone blocked the light..

You looked up. A really handsome boy was standing right in front of your stand looking at the snacks. He looked hungry and his big brown doe eyes looked at the snacks and then at you, probably wondering if he could take some. You smiled. He was so cute. He probably also was some years younger than you. That made you kind of soft, since you always wanted to have a younger brother. "Here we go." You gave him the entire plate of the goodies. His eyes started to widen and he had a little nose scrunch when he looked at you, while smiling brightly. You heard several thank you's and he even bowed to you. You showed him with a hand gesture that it's alright. He sat down with the plate. You felt so soft while looking at him eat. He must've been so hungry. When he finished the plate you gave him one more plate. Suddenly there were coming 6 more handsome boys near your stand. One of them was so familiar... Crap that was the boy who you accidentally bumped with!

He saw you and started to look down shyly. Still with that beautiful smile on his lips. One other boy with black hair started to tease the boy whom you gave the snacks too. The other boys joined them, also starting to tease him and stealing his snacks. They didn't even saw you except the "accident-boy". He was the only one who looked several times into your area. Another boy also really good looking started to realize that you stared at each other. He laughed out loud and whispered something to the "accident-boy". You looked away. It was so embarassing. You didn't know that he had that many friends, right here... "Can you stop Taehyung-ah?"

"Accident-boy" pushed the boy with the light hair playfully away. When he catched you staring at him. You looked away. You could see from an angle that he smiled crookedly. When you saw that the boys were done with the 2nd plate, you took another box put some snacks on it and gave it to them. "Oh thank you so much! That's so nice of you!" A boy with a big smile and really cute dimples offered you his hand. You shook it and gave him a little bow. "I'm Kim Namjoon and we are BTS." Now you found out who they were! The biggest boy group in the whole world just casually sitting there fighting over YOUR SNACKS!

"Oh, I didn't really kno-" The black haired boy that teased the kid earlier also decided to join your conversation. "Yes, we are BTS. I'm worldwide handsome Jin. Nice meeting you!" He also shook your hand and gave you a flying kiss. You smiled a bit puzzled. What is even happening right now?

Finally "Accident-boy" decided to introduce himself to you. "Hello. I'm Jimin. We met already, right?" He smiled. He was shaking your hand genuinely and bowed afterwards. You recognized that he was the only one who held your hand for a long time. His fingers were so small and cute. "I'm sorry again." You gave him a little flirty smile. Tori was the one who told you that flirting was completely okay. And you were in the mood to flirt. "That's fine. I'm kinda glad."

His smile got wider and your heart stopped a beat. What is your problem? You will never ever see him again. You shouldn't be so stupid! But everytime your eyes met, you had the feeling your heart was jumping out of your chest....

WHY THO?

Jesus Christ I was really hoping I’d never have to do this again. I honestly don’t know what is worse, having to watch another shitty movie or rereading my old blog posts and realizing that they were lower in quality than the movies I was reviewing. Fortunately it doesn’t really matter because I know for a fact that my -2 followers don’t seem to mind. But here I am. Once again I must swallow my pride and sumit myself to literal torture all in the name of a grade. To my suprise choosing a crappy movie was almost as difficult as watching one. So many options. So much low hanging fruit. However movies of this nature can always be a mixed bag. I remember when I first started this blog a few years ago some reviews never left my drafts because I didn't have much to write about. Sometimes a movie is so mediocre, so bad, that it can’t even excel at being an awful pile of crap. I chose to write about bad movies because I figured it would be entertaining. You’d think some films, in their own demented way, could at least entertain. But no. Can’t even get that right. I’d find myself at 2’o’clock in the morning looking at my notes only to realize that I basically wrote nothing. All I had was a lingering sense of regret and confusion; like I’d just woken up from a drunken one night stand. All I could do is ask myself, “What the hell did I just watch?” So as I revisit this deserted island I call my blog for what most likely will be the last time, I want to make sure that it is worth it. If I’m going to verbally assault a movie, I’m going to make sure it is an easy target. That was my thought process at least. I soon realized that just because a movie is easy to write about, that doesn’t mean it is easy to watch.

So what movie did I force upon my soul do you ask? Why CATS of course. Because who doesn’t like Cats? Everyone loves cats. What’s not to love about an ungrateful and rude animal that walks around your house like it owns the place. An animal that bites, scratches, and claws at anything it deems unworthy. “Let's make a movie, based off the perverted 80s Broadway production that centered around these literal spawns of Satan,” said every Hollywood executive with their head up their ass. As a matter of fact they thought it was such a good idea that they dropped 95 million U.S. dollars on it.

Now before I continue, as I typed “cats budget” in my google search bar, take a guess what came up after “cats bu..”. CATS BUTTHOLE SMELL. Are you fucking kidding me? What the hell is wrong with people? I tried recreating it in the search bar to screenshot but I couldn’t get it to come up, but trust me. I know what I saw. What is it with cat people man? Seriously. Really threw me off my train of thought.

But yeah, 95 big ones. A lot of good things could have been done with that money, but nope. We needed a live action adaptation of Cats. Did anyone who thought this was a good idea even see the play? That shit was weird. I didn’t watch it, cause, well why the hell would I?

But from the bare minimum research that I did do, the general consensus was that it was a shitty play that made lots of money because people are dumb and will watch anything. I guess producers were hoping lightning would strike twice. If you saw the play you would know that there is literally no plot. It has nothing. It is literally a bunch of weirdos dressed like anthropomorphic cats dry humping each other and singing for 2 hours. I swear its target audience had to consist of lonely 12 years old, sad housewives, and perverts. I tried watching the musical just to get a general reference of the living hell I was going to put myself in only to be utterly mortified. My eyes and ears didn’t last 5 minutes. How it made all the money it did baffles me. But I’m not here to talk about this crime against humanity, I’m here to rip into its bastard child. And boy, oh boy, is there a lot to talk about.

$14.99 in and I’m already regretting my life choices. Everything in my life has led me to this moment and I really wish I could change that. Thanks to what a box office bomb this movie was, I can’t rent it anywhere. I can only buy it. Figures. You're already off to a bad start movie. 2 minutes into the opening scene and I already hate it. People walking around on all fours in fursuits, licking their genitals, singing dancing, some crappy asymmetric musical. WHY! Oh god why did people make this? What kind of furry bullshit is this? I am going to be completely transparent. I’m writing this while I’m watching the movie. I’m not even 5 minutes in and I want to blow my brains out. This is not hyperbole, I wish it was. I can’t dude. I can’t watch this fucking movie. All the characters speak in these weird haikus with British accents. I can’t. I just can’t. I don’t know what anyone is saying half the freaking time. So many made up words and phrases. It's like the script was written by some Dr. Suess rejected. I genuinely have no idea what is going on. I was really hoping that for once one of my reviews wouldn’t sound like the rantings of a madman. But I can’t help it. This crap is rotting my brain. Seriously what is going on. Maybe I’m a simpleton who doesn’t get musicals, but I shit you not there is no plot. I have no idea what the hell is going on. How do you have a movie with no plot?

It’s just singing about being cats... and their FEET. JESUS CHRIST THEY HAVE FEET. No CGI paws. BARE. HUMAN. FEET. God why. How as an actor, do you go on set, act like a literal animal and tell yourself, “yeah this is gonna pan out great.” How did they sit down and go, “I’m going to sit here, lick a fake bowl of milk, sing and dance nonsense, then proceed to lick my non-existent cat balls.” I literally watched an actor snarl directly into the camera. When I went to find out who it was, I was unsurprised to see that all the pictures of the actors were gone. Just names. With a little digging I found out it was Ian Mckellen, you know, from Lord of the Rings. Magneto from Xmen. That Ian Mckellen. Yup, and he snarled to the camera like a cat. Anything for a paycheck right? Who am I to judge, I watched 2019’s Cats for an English class. Who is really losing here, cause frankly I don’t know anymore. If I have anything positive to say about this movie is that it has less dry humping than its source material. Key word less. I better get an A for this.

An hour into the movie and I still don’t know what the fuck is going on. Some dude in overalls is tap dancing. He's a “railway cat” cause he's a conductor or something. I physically cannot do this. I'm dying on the inside. A light inside me is slowly fading. Countless abhorrent musical numbers. Too many for a man to take. To put things in perspective, I did not like Hamilton. Did I respect it for what it was? Of course. Not my cup of tea though. Hamilton was a great musical, arguably one of the best, and I did not enjoy it whatsoever. Now here I am watching Cats. Just a little perspective.

As I came to the end of the movie I saw that I missed all kinds of things. There was a love plot, some kind of contest, and villain. But that didn’t concern me. All I could focus on was how I wasted an hour and a half of my life.

An hour and a half wasted on this.

Do you think God left us because he feared what he created? I sure as hell do. The philosophers were right. Everyday Pantheism is making more and more sense. And if not that nihilism. God is dead. God is most certainly dead. Don’t believe me? The GIF above is all the proof you need.

I was hoping that for once one of these blogs would have some sense of conformity. Some sort of cohesion. Maybe an ounce of legitimacy. But I couldn’t. There is something about these movies that drain the life from you. Every second spent looking at my computer screen I felt brain cells dying. I might as well have drunk a whole 750 milliliter bottle of Everclear. That or bang my head against a wall for 15 minutes. Either would have been just as effective; and probably more efficient.

I thought that I could improve upon the quality of my blog. When I reread my old post I realized that they had no depth. I thought maybe it was me. Right? I was 15, What did I know about good writing? No. It never had anything to do with me. Movies like Cats are such horrendous abominations of human creation, that there is literally no way to talk about them with any form of professional effort. They are shallow. There is nothing to analyze. How can you analyze garbage? Art requires respect if it wants to be reviewed and judged accordingly. Cats and films like it don’t have my respect and never will. I type this with immense pleasure. Never again. Never will I ever put myself through this bull again. Thankfully, for the last time. I can ask Why Tho?

I'm feeling shitty heres why

I dont have a lot of friends. I'm typically shy and i work a lot and tend to stay in my comfort zone. I live with my boyfriend and he is by far the most patient with my Taylor craze. HE EVEN GETS HYPED WITH ME. Once he suprised me when i was out of work and didnt have money to buy it.. Taylor Swift VOUGE. The few friends i do have havent even acknowledged me when I message them about Taylor Swift. I don't feel that I over do it.. I dont blow them up. Think a good example is the other day I was talking to my friend and I told her I was excited because I think Taylor Swift is going to drop a single soon. She ignored me and never spoke on it. But messages me later on about other stuff. And again today when I sent her a single screenshot of Taylor's album name drop. I said I was excited and shocked. Again no response she just looks at it.. and messages me later about something she wants to talk about. I feel shity because she messages me about things such as bands she likes, musicians, etc and I will talk to her about it and get excited for her and hold a conversation even if it's not in my interests. I don't have any friends that like or love Taylor Swift. I don't personally know a single fan. Just the people who might like a song that she came out with and say oh she's okay. Tumblr is mostly for me because I don't get messages or likes or many followers but I love seeing everyone freak out. I can feel the energy, I love everyone getting hyped I love seeing and feeling that everyone all shares a love for Tay. I love being able to message someone on tumblr and have a conversation that we are all excited about. It makes me feel like i have a million people to get hyped with. Feels like i can talk to someone and they are coming from a genuine place where they too feel what I'm feeling. Feels less lonely. I APPRECIATE U ALL. Even though i don't personally know any of you, we all connect because of Tay. I LOVE U. I LOVE TAY. Its so beautiful. But wish i could have a bff to get hypey with lol

Amphibia Reviews: The Shut-In

More Halloween Havoc, whoop woop! The Plantars return just in time for Halloween! It’s Shut-In in Wartwood, their version of halloween, but less of a focus on getting candy and more on getting suplies to protect yourselve and barricade yourself in so the moon dosen’t turn you into a monster. I remain not suprised. To pass the time our heroes tell some true spooky stories and Polly tries to find one they weren’t around for. Phone-Mo: Anne and humanized versions of Polly, Maddie, and Toady watch a cursed video and soon disappear by one. Nothing ominous about that! Dead End: A young Hop Pop serves as Chauffer for a mysterious man played by george takei and death seems to follow them at every stop. Oh myyyyyyyy. Skin Deep: Sprig and Ivy go to fetch a lost ball and end up running into the skin stealing seamstress. Arson naturally insues.. It’s Terror Time again, with full recap and spoilers, under the cut.

Whelp, no dancing around it this airing order is weird. And look airing shit in a weird way has been disney’s past time since the 90′s, Darkwing Duck’s airing order is a waking nightmare, and this very show had all of season 1 air within the span of a month and a week in order to get it on disney plus by launch, star vs had it’s last season burned off in three months, and Ducktales pre-covid flip flopped from airing week to week to just one for some reason and then no others for months. Consitency is not their strong suit is what i’m saying and it’s not new. And yes I get these holiday special episodes are mecurial: their built specifically to slot in wherever without really upsetting continuity: The Casagrandes recently aired their first season 2 episode before even finishing season 1, so this isn’t just a disney thing, while speaking of disney things ducktales had it’s first proper halloweeen episode air the week before a spring break set episode, with a christmas episode set to air next month. What i’m saying is I get these things sometimes don’t air in production order, but it’s less excuable on Disney’s part here when it’d take airing exactly one episode for this not to be a tad jarring. Not enough that it spoils the episode nor does the episode effect the ongoing story or continuity in any way, so it’s not TERRIBLE but it smacks of lazy incompetence on Disney’s part and I wish they’d do better already.

Okay that rant out of the way we can dive right in! It’s the annual Shut-In in Wartwood! Basically their verison of halloween but instead of a fun spooky holiday, it’s the annual tradition of getting various things from the neighbors to help stay indoors during the blue moon, which in wartwood turns whoever views into a monster. Because of course their halloween is a fight for suvival. Also theirs pumpkins everywhere with their versions of jack o lanterns being fear gourds which.. okay. Point is instead of candy the kids trick or treating has turned up rusty nails, a hatchet, a first aid kit and anne, winning the night, a flamethrower! On one hand it’s neat these exist in wartwood via fire breathing slugs. On the other I do worry about Anne accidently burning everyone and everything down so please take that from her.

The Plantars then lock themselves in. To stave off bordeom, Shut-In tradition is to go around the fire and tell each other creepy true stories that happened to them. Polly tries going first but just has the Inn story from last season which they were all there for.. thought hat dosen’t make complete sense as they werent’ awake for all of it and shoudl’ve just let her tell her side of things. But eh it sets up polly’s plot so fair enough. Luckily anne has one. So we get our first tale of terror Terror Tales of the Park/Treehouse of Horror III Styles...

Phone-Mo

Anne’s story is very clearly made up, though no one really calls her on it and it DOES add elemnts from the domino II story from last season so fair enough. Rather than use her real friends, which is fair enough since she just sadly had to say goodbye to Marcy and probably isn’t handeling the guilt well and Sasha you know.. tried to stab her a few months back then tried sacrifcing herself for Anne’s own well being. Point is thnking about them is a loaaded issue right now so instead she dreams up human versions of Sprig, Polly, with a bucket on her foot for a shot which is a nice visual gag, as is how we meet them, along with Maddie and for some weird reason Toady. I mean I do get Ivy is in our third story, so fair enough, but they could’ve used.. anyone else. Wally would’ve made more sense honestly and he’s also an adult but he’s also you know Anne’s friend and not some town asshole she vaugley knows. It’s just weird. That said I do love the human designs for everyone and they clearly put a lot of work in knowing the fans would like them, with little touches like Polly having pink hair, sprig having his normal haircut he does under the hat but not covered up and toady’s phone having a little keychain of his amphibia version. Also while they all have diffrent names including Anne I won’t be using them on the grounds that I don’t wanna.

Anne and the plantars are watching a funny internet video when Toady and Maddie offer to show them one that’s apparently cursed and makes whoever watched it disappear. Sprig talks Anne out of it and keeps her from watching anyway but Polly’s naturally all in. ON the way to class, once sprig is gone, anne ends up watching it and liking it anyway because she has no self control and freely admits it. Naturally given this is a halloween episode, the others start disapearing, with Maddie coming to anne with support after Toady vanishes which again is just.. weird. It’s just weird to hear anyone car about wether toady lives or dies. It keeps throwing me off. Anne reasssures her but sure enough the second anne’s gone Maddie’s phone eats her alive. Still nice to see her again. Regular Maddie should get a hoodie. Also anne apparently eats the corners of her sandwitch so she dosen’t have to share. Clever girl. Back at home where Anne continues to mock whoever it is told her she can’t write stories as she makes a gila monster and a flamingo make out, where are they I must hurt them, when Sprig calls panicked that polly is missing and admits i’ts a good thing they ddin’t watch the video.. yeah about that. Sprig is of course freaked, and soon the video pops on anne’s phone and soon the weird cat thing inside comes to life and then turns deadly.. also it turns out it eats the host then forces them to be int he background of the video, which was hinted at earlier with one guy having been in there for 35 years.. despite having a smartphone. Well this is anne’s story I don’t think she knows those didn’t exist once.

Luckily Anne figures out how to beat it.. in the most hilarious way possible. by disliking it, since liking and commeting linked it to her, she weakens it before finishing it with a rude comment. It’s.. i’ts purespun comedy gold. This frees everyone else and they leave along with sprig.. but eggs are left behind. Dun dun dun. Final Thoughts on Phone Mo:

First off .. I have no idea what FOMO means so the title left me as lost at first at the plantars... oh okay it’s fear of missing out.. should’ve remebered that from brooklyn nine nine and amy’s legendadrily bad case of it. Aw well a decent story, if the weakest of the three. It does have an incredibly funny conclusion, neat human designs, and an intresting setting given while school stories are common, usually we don’t get that here so it’s a nice break from the norm. But compared to the genuinely chilling with a funny and odd climax next two, it’s just okay. Not bad, but not quite as good. Back in the present, Polly once again tries this time with children of the spore, once again being shot down though that being said hop pop’s line of “I was responsible for that one” was given a great delvery by charlie addler. Also Anne missed Wally’s birthday and he’s sad. oh Wally. Though i’m sure she’ll make it up to him.. at least he’s back home. So anyways speaking of HOp Pop, it’s his turn for a story...

Dead End: And it’s a story from Hop Pop’s Youth! Given we’ve never SEEN hop pop beyond his present day and only heard the ocasional scrap, it’s REALLY nice to hear. It dosen’t tell us a ton more granted, but we at least see what he looked like, get to hear charlie adler use a slightly less aged voice for him and get to see him with a luxrious golden mane of johnny bravo hair, which is as hilaroius and glorious as it sounds.

Back in those days Hop Pop was a coachman. He still had the farm, but given how tight things are now it’s not a stretch to assume he could always use some extra coppers to keep his family we never get to know about besides the grandkids fed. He also prides himself on honest work, not taking payment till the rides finished and the customer is satisfied which is INCREIDBLY risky, but I do kinda get it both for Hopidah’s sense of honor and because it seems clear he mostly does it in town by the fact all his stops this ep are within wartwood or close enough, so clearly it’s mostly people he knows personally. This time though the rider is the well dressed, crimson red Mr. Littlepot, played by George Takei. Best known for Star Trek, being out and proud and since coming out after years and years in the closet, using his celebrity to help promote gay rights and other good stuff. He’s also known for saying ohhhh myyy and this clip from futurama.

youtube

I got a lot of respect for the guy, He was even in archie comics once after Kevin Keller was introduced. So it’s nice to see him doing some voice work and he kills it here.. pun intended but more on that in a sec. Littlepot has some simple rule: keep driving no matter what hapepned where he was.. and given both places he ends up have someone dying, once by a horrifying looking snake, it’s clear somethings up. IT also nicely builds the tension as hop pop tries to steady himself, but is clearly cracking as he realizes his client might be murdering people he knows.. and he could be next. As Hopidiah KNOWS each person Littlepot visits and it nicely ratches up the tension. But turns out he’s not a killer.. he’s simplyd eath himself come to collect those already about to die.

It’s a nice twist: The genuine trappings of the guy make you think h’es some form of the devil, the crimson skin, yellow eyes and cultured demanor.. it’s only as he goes you start to realize what the man actually is and even then he easily could still be frog satan. But no he’s just the frog reaper and defends himself to Hop Pop when confronted: He’s just doing his job, just like Hopidiah, getting people where they need to be. Unforutnately for Hop Pop his final stop is the farm.. though thankfully for him he hasnt come for Hopidiah.. just his hair. Yeah it’s a nice comedic twist on an otherwise chiling and well done story that what the devil came to take is his hair.. which he starts wearing hilariously. So Hop Pop lives but sobs, and Anne points out it was pretty fucked up.

Final Thoughts for Dead End: Not much to say. This one was dripping with atmosphere, Takei was utterly awesome and need to do more voice work, and the comedic ending twist was really damn funny. Top notch.

Polly tries again, gets shut down again and is now really understandably frustrated at not having a story. Naturally given the other plantars have gone though, Sprig does. And he dosen’t have at itle at first until one cuts him off ....

Skin Deep:

Ivy’s Back!

Yeah I was genuinely worried the return ep would break up either her and sprig or hop pop and silvia.. and while the second one remains a horrifying sword of damocles over my head, Sprig and Ivy are fine and Ivy gets a nice spotlight episode here. It was a pleasant surprise to get some fresh info since i’tll be months till we find out anything else. So the young couple are playing bugball down at the old courts, when a couple of guys they were up to no good, started making trouble in the neghborhood. Sprig got in one little fight and Hop Pop got scared he said “your moving with your auntie and uncle to bell air”. He begged and pleaded day after day but Hop Pop packed his suit case and sent him on his way. He gave him a kiss and then he gave him a ticket Sprig put his walkman on and thought he might as well kick it. First class yo this ain’t bad, drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass. Is this what the people of bel air live like, yo, this might be alirght! He whistled for a cab and when it came near the liscene plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror, if anything he could say that this cab was rare but he thought man forget it yo holmes to bell air. He pulled up to the cab about 7 or 8 and yelled to the cabbie yo holmes smell ya later. He looked at his kingdom and he was finally there to sit on his throne as the fresh prince of bell air.

So then Will walked into the mansion and wait.. wrong show.. so the young couple are playing bugball when they loose their ball, and it goes off into the creepy part of the woods. Ivy also looses her hat and is self concious about her hair. Looks fine to sprig but she’d rather not. Aww she’s insecure. But the two head off with Sprig getting more and more nervous, as Ivy details a legend about the area of the seamstress, a mysterious recluse who steals your skin! Naturally Sprig is nettled while Ivy says it’s fine and does what anyone would do upon finding out the ball went into a creepy abandoned shack in a world where it’s clear murderers are pretty common: kick down the door! It’s the perfect crime.

Naturally Sprig gets more unernved, finding a set of needles and thread, which gets a great gag as Ivy points out that’s nto that uncommon.. but the giant pile of skin they find sure is!

Oh.. it gets worse me. Sprig finds the ball. and the Seamstress who has a horrifying patchwork of skins on her and wants to add theirs.. the kids are naturally spooked and prepare to flee but she wants their skin and grabs ivy! Thankfully she breaks free and Sprig busts some off.. OH GOD.. and it turns out she’s a glass frog! .. turns out theres a kind of frog that has translucent skin.

But yeah obvoiusly the show takes it a step further, and her skin is entirely see through. Poor girl. Ivy sympathizes shows off her hair.. then puts her hat over the Seamstress’ eyes and tells sprig now, and sprig starts a fire, and the two start to escape when he grabs Ivy’s leg!

Thankfully Ivy breaks free and the two leave her to die. Sprig compliments ivy’s hair, ivy gets him a smooch it’s all adorable and they defintely murdered someone who defintely murdered a lot of people. Horay!

Naturally the rest of the family is freaked out by this with Anne wanting to know if ivy being bitten means sh’es infected and Hop Pop wanting to know if one of her skins was his friend fred he hasn’t seen in a while. Sprig then spooks them by having ivy show up, complete with a burlap frog skin.. maybe. She could’ve been lying. We dunno. Ivy heads home to risk her life for a good gag, depsite the fact her boyfriend’s house is right there and her mom and grandmom clearly had to sign off on this shenanigan given the night. But this life risking prank naturally risks some life as Polly has ran off to look at the moon to get her own story. The rest of hte family runs after her only tfind it did.. ntohing. She’s apparently fine just fine and they assure her the fear they felt thinking she might become some kind of monster was scarier than any story and the rest of them head home with polly following.. after transofrming. Turns out the moon DOES make you into monsters but she’s fine with it. She’s got her legs now! Everyone screams understandably, Anne finally realizes this isn’t quite a holiday the end.

Final Thoughts on Skin Game and the special as a whole: Easily my faviorite, partly for shipping reasons as I do like Ivy and Sprig together, and partly because it really let Ivy have a roll OTHER than sprig’s love intrest. Sure she still smooched his cheek and their clearly still together, but she got to be proactive, badass and hilariously impulsive and trollish. It was a nice change of pace and the story itslef was the best of the bunch to me becuase of that, though Dead End was really close. Overall this was a nice treat, a good anthology with lots of fright and humor and a nice wraparound story arc with polly, as well as some nice call backs to previous episodes. An utterly excellent halloween special i’ll probably be revisiting every year and another slam dunk from disney this year. The airing snaufu really dosen’t hurt it any and in the future this one will likely be after Return to Wartwood on D+ anyway so no harm done. Great all around. If you liked this review follow me for more amphibia whenever it comes back, ducktales reviews every monday, and loud house reviews every saturday or sunday depending. And until next time stay safe, stay spooky and happy halloween!

We’re in the home stretch thank god! Seriously while I do love this show, doing 13 reviews in one day, even as most are easy to bang out, has been exausting. But the thank god is also because we’ve arrived at my faviorite episode so far and.. er another one but at least it has Noel Fielding! That’s really awesome! This time around Josh and Emily try to recapture the magic of their first date only to end up in one of the good Blumhouse movies, while Bridgette brings Josh along on an awkward first date. Then Emily gets the help of a snail’s magical hat to juggle work and life. Snail yeah under hte cut.

First Date:

A fourtune teller is at the fourplex, another review of the series I recently read revealed that’s what their buildings called and I like the sound of it so i’m using that, predicting a weird romance for bridget, who belivies it’s a guy she’s been texing, and sometimes sexting in her words not mine, who she has a date with tonight while said psychic also reveals to Emily that things with her and josh have gotten bland, something emily realizes via a hilarous flashback of them making out while falling asleep repeadtly before both just conk out. Also randy has thunder pants, aka pants tha tmake thunde rnoises and have a giant lighting bolt cod piece. Your the second best randy. Andt hat’s only because Alex is still a character.

So we have our two plots and unlike previous episodes and one future one the plots.. don’t dovetail. Which I like and I like a show being able to do two seperate plots in eleven minutes. We frankly need more of that. Bridgette has her date and Josh and Emily end up having theres. As such i’ll cover both seperatley. And since their plots a bit simplier let’s start with Josh and Emily. Emily tries flirting with Josh before explaning it’s because she wants to bring the spice back. After josh bungles his response trying to say what she wants but just.. you know asking emily what she wants him to say which is never a good move in any conversation, Josh does near instantly rebound, texting emily to come to the close tfor a suprise. Granted since Josh, self admittley right after, admits he has no game, it come across as weird and creepy, but Emily appricates him trying and is touched when he reveals his real bring the sparks back romantic plan: a recreation of their first date, which was at a haunted house. Also for some reason Josh thought mr magoriums wonder emporium was a best picture contender. Never change josh, never change. But I genuinely like this: having a couple that while relaistically having a dry spell still lvoes each other: instead of worrying the relationship is dead as these plots tend to do they simply want to bring back the magic that’s sometimes lost when you work two jobs, raise a kid full time and live with two weirdos with little sense of personal space. So they go and the reason it’s pretty simple is their subplot is the two having a mind screw being chased by various horrors in the house. As i’ve said I feel the series has more of a horror bent at times with some episodes leaning more into that than just goofy madness like regular show did. Regular Show really saved most of its straight up horror content for terror tales, here horror bits can crop up as much as fucking wacky bits. I mean a logan’s run parody where a man dies is paired up with a low speed train chase with a con arist that ends with her driving into a thermortor factory while choking her fake son. The show can ping pong on tone, but it does work. But yeah that’s why there’s less to talk about: it’s not bad stuff, it’s super spooky including the end bit where their told they died, it’s just mostly the two of them running around a nightmare, that unsuprisngly turns out not to be real and was just the attraction, before a really touching climax when the two finally find each other run towards each other and realize just how horrifed they were at the thought of loosing one another. it’s really damn touching and romantic, and leads to another climax when the two start kissing before getting it on despite the horror house working telling them they have others coming. I’ts a good plot, I just don’t have a ton to anlyaize about it. it’s just really good and really good horror stuff with a satsifying and sweet ending. On to our main event, Bridgette heads out to her date and TRIES lying to alex for his own sake.. but Alex not only easily guessed she was on a date in the first place but... isn’t bothered at all. He even offers to wing man while sining the firends theme song and clapping at the wrong time. Because he’s alex even when he’s being sweet and a good friend and ex, he can’t help but be just a BIT off. Bridget goes to meet Ron.. and finds he’s sewn to his ex Joy... like literally sewn or conjoined as they put it. Bridgette freaks the fuck out but is talked by ron into continuing, partly because their getting it undone and partly because Bridgette herself admits Ron looked past her baggage.. even if his is larger, she can at least try to. Also Ron is voiced by Chris Parnell who, with archer delayed event hough i’m watching it again and having stopped wtching rick and morty, I dearly missed. Glad to have you back dude. I’m also unsuprised he’s in this as the man is in everything. He’s a fucking workhorse.

Anyways Alex happily agrees, has his own brief freakout because bridget didn’t tell him about the conjoined twins thing despite being a room away, but quickly rebounds and.. actually hits it off with Joy. even better than Bridgette is with ron who she soon realizes won’t shut the hell up about hiking. Soon Bridgette.. is jealous. Both because Alex is moving on way easier and found someone way quicker, Joyce shares his weird taste in viking erotica, and because she may still have some feelings left. We saw a bit of that in “Robot Tutor”: Bridgette got jealous real quick when alex saw someone elsed espite them being there mostly as sex pals, and admitted there was still some unresolved stuff there they hadnt gotten past on both sides. They hit the club and things continue to degrade, with Bridgette even more jealous because Alex never took her dancing. And being that bridg is a musician and loves clubbing and what not, i’ts pretty understandable to be frustrated with her ex talking about how it took someone else to get him to do the worm.. also Alex doing the worm is a sheeer delight. When the cojoined ex couple leave, with Ron once again bringing up climbing machu pichu because apparently it’s in chris parnells contract he can never play an actually likeable romantic intrest, Bridget tries to bail but Alex wants to stay since it’s not his fault his date is going well and her’s isn’t. Bridgette makes the mistake of saying “If you like joy so much why don’t you just conjoin with her”.. and Alex being alex says “why dont’ I and we end up at conjoin, the place Ron and Joy got bonded in the first place. Ever since 1994, you won’t regret this. Actual signs up there and they are wonderful. Bridgette, still jealous even ifs he can’t stand ron offers to be conjoined to him both in a desperate attempt not to losoe alex and to one up him. However Alex finally calls her out, as while he’s perfeclty happy for her to move on, as this episode showed.. she can’t stand to see him with someone else, and Ron wisley tells her he can’t be attached to someone who isn’t unattached from her ex. When bridgette counters with the oppsitie ron is suprisingly pogniant “We can detach from each other physically but you two can’t detach from each other spirtually”. WHile bridgette quips about him finally saying something intresting, he’s right. She’s not ready and this night clearly proved it and even if she was she was only doing this to show up Alex. Joy likewise breaks things off. a bit more abrubtly since Alex has’nt been nearly as obvious as bridgette.. but alex himself shows he too still has some feelings when he accidentlya dmits to having written an entire section of his memoir about her teeth. Would could be creepy or you know, standard alex ends up really sweet as Bridgette is not only touched by the gesture, but Alex explains why “THeir all the parts that make up your smile” The two share a look, Joy wants what they have and Ron wants to masturbate alone. The end.

Sadly this isn’t followed up on yet, if at all if there isn’t more episodes next week, as the next ep with the two in it, the finale for today, has the two in seperate plots that only dovetail at the end. But this honestly feels like a posisble arc for the show; Will the two get back together and work past the issues that got them to divorce in the first place or stay divorced and move on? And regular show, with one exception i’ve ranted enough about and will again, was really good at romantic storylines eventually and this could be really intresting for a number of reasons. I’m realy hoping this isn’t just a one off ending, could be but we’ll hopefully see. Either way this episode is really damn good with both plots , while not intersecitng connecting thematically: ONe couple relives a horrifying mirorr version of their first date while a former couple goes on their first real date with other people since the split but finds they might not be as done as they thought. IT’s a good juxtopision and the whole conjoining bit is both horrifying and good Beisdes having my ship at the center i’ts just a damn good time and the best of the season so far (or at all atain the 8 episodes thing is really throwing me off).

Snailed It: This one should go quicker as its a much simpler ep: Emily has been working way too much and neglecting Candace, including a crypt based board game they’ve been playing for her job because she’s being a doormat. however i’ts not unresonable since said job gives them health insurance which given their lives, they REALLY need. She’s being such a doormat because she’s understandably afraid if she stands up for herself it could risk her job and they’d loose important stuff. Emily TRIES to juggle things by doing a charity garden/publicity stunt to distract thigns at the school btu the comination of extra work from her boss and the children not actually gardening makes it fail and candace more upset. Emily finds help in the most unlikely of places: A giant talking snail that offers to let her use his magic hat to speed up time and complete the garden in exchange for some of the veggies. He’s also voiced by nice dude and mighty boosh alum noel fielding in what hoenstly feels like a boosh character got out of that universe, if their not the same unvierse which is possible, and snuck into this one. Emily accepts, and is tempted to use the hat to do more of her job, with the snail calling her a shit parent. Fuck you man, sh’e sa good mom she’s just making mistakes. Emily decides to do it anyway and it works but she soon finds out using the hat outside the garden ages her while the snail decides fuck it and kidnaps candace by aborbing her into his stomach and making her be his legs so he can get dumplings because why not. What follows is a horrifc and tense chase between the two as candace’s life is on the line and the snail has a backup hat and emily time blasting him only makes candace age or deage, horrifyingly becoming a fetus at one point and a teenager later. It’s ar eally tense well done seen that combines the show’s usual insanity with it’s horror side to great effect Meanwhile josh feels useless since his job is less important, and he feels less important as he’s on call and skipping rocks with randy because apparently that’s what he does on call. Randy gets a great moment though, explaning to josh that h’es like the stones their skipping: he’s immoible and seemingly useless most of the time but when it matters he’s there . He’s there rock. Their support.. and naturally with emily slowly dying from her hat, a rare sentence, Josh steps upa nd saves the day via stone skipping, emily throws the hat in and the fundraiser, due to the madness, sucesffuly buired the scandal and Emily finally tells mr salt no.. and he’s really cool about it just telling her to come in a little later. Things are back on track and we’re out. This wasn’t a bad one, but it both feels less after the prevoius episode and somehwhat simple comaprd other emily centreic episodes. WHile the snail is a great villian and noel fielding, like rich fulcher before him, fits into this kind of world nicely. Not a bad one, just one sandwitched between two far more interesting episodes. Speaking of which, we’re in the endg ame now. Next time it’s dog days and weird fucking al baby, until very soon later days.
