Headcanons: Starting Your Freshman Year at Greendale and Joining the Study Group

MASTERLIST | AO3 | KO-FI

Requested by: Anon

Headcanons for being a new freshman at Greendale and becoming a member of the study group?

Ohh sorry i didn’t clarify! it doesn’t matter to me, i just liked the idea of the reader kinda being the baby of the group, so maybe everyone is in their later years at greendale?

Relationship(s): The Study Group (Jeff, Britta, Annie, Troy, Abed, Shirley and Pierce) x gn!reader (platonic)

Warnings: References to underage drinking. (Let me know if I need to add any)

(A/N: I started writing this literal years ago, but I rewatched the Community Christmas episodes today and it’s made me want to rewatch all of Community and start writing for it again. Not enough people write for it, and not enough people write gender-neutral-reader fics. This was like 90% done so it was a good place to start again. I went with making it so the reader joins the Study Group during season 3, since I had the idea of using the reader to replace Todd in the episode where none of them want to work with him. I haven’t followed the canon of season 3 verbatim, since it’d have made writing this kinda difficult (plus I haven’t seen season 3 in years). So, this is more general. I’m hoping to work through my list of Community requests from years ago throughout 2024, since I’m hoping to get more into the habit of putting aside time for writing.)

When you decided on taking Biology 101 during your first semester at Greendale, you were bound to learn of (and witness first hand) the notorious Study Group.

Your hope that you wouldn’t be roped into their borderline-narcissistic antics was killed when you were given Pierce Hawthorne as your lab partner.

To say he was annoyed would be an understatement.

Oh boy, did he make it known that he abhorred having to be your lab partner.

In fact, most of them seemed to hate the idea of being stuck as your partner, which was at least a little hurtful.

When Abed rearranged the lab partner pairings based on some mental computer wizardry, you got put with Jeff, who was a bit more subtle with his annoyance.

You spent most of that night standing there awkwardly while Shirley cried about being the least popular member of the Study Group, or trying to be some kind of mediator between these friends who you knew only from rumours and observing them.

You also had to rescue a turtle from being burned alive by Britta, which sent you over the edge into a fit of fury.

Annie was the one who apologised to you for everything, and, much to the chagrin of everyone else, invited you to join the study group.

Perhaps she didn’t expect you to take her up on the offer, but you did anyway.

Your first study session with them made them realise that you fit in well with the group.

Even Abed liked your presence, because he believed it ‘changed the status quo without being like when sitcoms add a kid character in a desperate attempt to boost the ratings’.

(He compared you to Frasier from Cheers)

For a while, though, you did feel a little isolated from the group, considering you were often the only one to comment negatively on the group’s questionable behaviour, which they saw as perfectly normal.

However, you adjusted to being in the group alarmingly fast, to the point of getting carried away in the Study Group mentality like the rest of them.

As the baby of the group, you were treated as such, despite being at least a bit more mature than Troy and Abed.

For example, if Jeff and Britta were in the middle of a heated discussion, you’d be told to ‘stay out of it’.

Abed, early on, would analyse you to figure out how exactly you fit into the group, such as deciding what archetype best describes you.

There’s also a chance that he would create and manipulate situations in order to test your personality.

Jeff would shut this down as soon as he figured out what Abed was doing.

In an effort to try and include you more, Annie would force each member of the Study Group to do an activity with you.

Annie invited you to a one-on-one study session.

(Also, if you’re taking any classes that she took in her first or second year, she’ll lend you her old materials, like notes, textbooks, study cards etc.)

Shirley took you to the mall with her and her kids, treating you like one of her own kids.

Troy and Abed introduced you to Inspector Spacetime, which you quickly became a big fan of.

(Watching it became a Saturday night ritual for the three of you)

Britta brought you along to a protest which ended in the both of you in jail.

(An irritated Jeff would have to come bail you both out, and Britta would beg him not to say anything about it to Shirley or Annie)

Pierce gave you $1000 to tell Annie that he’d taken you to the zoo.

Jeff invited you over to his apartment for beers, which resulted in you both getting wasted and having a tearful heart-to-heart with one another.

Despite adopting the Study Group mentality to a certain degree, you would be the least susceptible to the group’s dumbassery due to joining so late, which meant you’d often be the one to pull the group out of the stupid shit they were doing.

At the very least, you’d pull Jeff out of it, and he’d take the lead and sort out everyone else.

If you weren’t that close to your family, you’d probably spend holidays over at Shirley’s upon her insistence.

(I love love love the idea that she makes a custom Christmas stocking for you the first year you come over)

In a weird way, the Study Group became your family, albeit a dysfunctional one.

After your friends all graduated, you stayed in touch with most of them, even before you were reunited because of the Save Greendale Committee.

It’s safe to say that, even if you do join late, you’re still accepted as one of them, for better or for worse.

Hello pptm! Would you talk a bit more about the current state of tv series? You mentioned briefly about an oversaturated market and how The Golden Age is now gone, but what were some of they key problems that lead to it in your opinion?

Would you consider Succession as part of the series that knew the importance of character development? Could we consider it like the final good show in this dire landscape of tv and streaming?

Lastly, what do you think will come next? There's a shift in the movie business in Hollywood if we look at the past year, but I don't know if we should be overly optimistic. Will we take a step back from prestige tv for a while until a new wave will bring something new?

Hello Madam M! Thanks for sending such a thoughtful Ask.

I think that over-saturation was part of the problem. What I mean by that is everyone and anyone trying to cash in on the money to be made through so-called prestige TV, and how the late stages of prestige dovetailed with the rise of streaming platforms.

Not every network went after prestige, but they've all gone after streaming, which has led to these conglomerates of streaming. Platform-wise, this is a huge turn off for "discerning" audiences. People watch HBO because they know what they're going to get. Now, if you sign into Max, you're confronted with the dregs of TV and can't make heads or tails of any of it.

This has been the case for Netflix for years now. They've dumped huge money into developing series but half the time when they cancel a show, that's the first a lot of people have even heard of it.

The other side of this is that platforms have dumped money into these series no one can find (lol), but say you do find it -- it looks and feels prestige but it ends there because the writing isn't solid. My understanding is that the writers' room tradition, which has a big practical training side to it, has been decimated by new ways of working these streaming platforms have brought. Usually, you start as an assistant in the room to learn the ropes. As the series goes on, assistants move up to writing scripts.

If these rooms aren't being put together anymore (which I read is the case more often than before), new writers aren't going through the learning stages.

The other factor is how quickly funding is pulled on these shows. If rooms are put together, there's no time for the craft to be taught or for the head writer to master it.

Do I think Succession got the writing right? Absolutely. When Ii wrote that BTS/Succession crossover for you (remember our bet... actually I can't remember what we were betting on 💀), trying to nail the dialogue and characters was incredibly difficult. It's like when you're spec script writing, you have to show you can follow the format but also write the characters so they are in-character but also not caricatures of their most obvious traits. The last part is what happened with the writing on Friends, for example. Most of the characters became the lowest common denominator of their most notable traits. Obviously, sitcom is a different format, but the point still stands because this is what happened to Greg in the last season of Succession. His character became a stock gimmick and stopped progressing.

I think things come in ebbs and flows, so the industry will self-correct. People keep joking that by amalgamating, platforms are reinventing cable TV. Lol. What needs to happen is for there to be less projects and more time, effort and oversight (The Idol FFS... where the fuck were HBO on that?) on the projects that are greenlit.

Well, there's my two cents. My flight was delayed so this turned into an entire essay.

So everyone's calling for a Six of Crows spin off. I completely agree but raise you this: An Ivan and Fedyor spin off.

I've seen a couple people (myself included) say that Ivan and Fedyor weren’t in season two because they moved to Novi Zem and started a peaceful domestic life away from all the chaos. Well, I'm going to expand upon that.

They buy the plot of land next to Colm's farm. Chaos ensues in a wacky sitcom-eque style as they avoid Ravkan troops, bother their new neighbor, and learn to navigate life outside of the Little Palace for the first time.

It takes place at the same time as season two of Shadow and Bone. A season is twenty episodes that run for twenty two minutes.

--

They've bought a farm but they don't have the slightest idea on how to be farmers. Like, at all. Colm offers a helping hand and shows them how to maintain their fields but quickly realizes they don't know how to do anything. Laundry, cooking, cleaning, home repairs, etc. He's going to be spending a lot more time with them than he thought.

They keep it a secret that they're the missing heartrenders from the Darkling's inner circle because he is not very popular right now, even in Novi Zem. In the beginning, they also try to hide their powers in general, but it quickly becomes obvious how dependent on them they are.

They slowly become really good friends with Colm, endearing themselves to him despite his frequent frustration with them, and he often gets roped into their crazy antics now.

Example dialouge:

*Fedyor opens the door, angry, holding a basket of clothes, completely soaked* *laugh track* Fedyor: Laundry's done. Ivan: What happened? Did you do it the way Colm showed us? Fedyor: I tried, but I knocked it all into the river and had to jump in to get it back. Fedyor: You might be missing a few socks now. *laugh track* Fedyor: Anyways, how's dinner coming? *Ivan takes the lid off a pot that's sitting on the stove to reveal fire. No food, just fire. He quickly puts the lid back on* *laugh track* Ivan: It's... coming.

--

Possible plotlines:

Season long arcs

Them interacting with other grisha and realizing they can do so much more with their powers than killing

Fedyor interacting a lot with the kids in the community and starts asking Ivan to adopt. He eventually gives in but only after a lot of thinking and convincing

The Darkling hears that they deserted to Novi Zem and sends a small group of grisha to get them back. One inferni in that group is amplified with Bahgra’s finger bone. The big fight against them is the climax of the season. Fedyor and Ivan live but their house gets completely destroyed and they have to start all over

Epidode plots

Two or three episodes of job hunting before they start to profit off their farm. It goes poorly (ex: "what qualifications do you have?" "Uhh... soldier?")

Adding on to that last one, a one-episode plot where Ivan gets a job in customer service. It's a nightmare for everyone but humbles him quite a bit

A small home repair gets ridiculously out of hand to the point where a wall comes down at the end. They end up sleeping on Colm's couch that night

The Ravkan first army general suspects they might be a lot more important to Ravka than they’re claiming and they have to be the most Normal People Ever (tm) to throw him off. Also there’s fighting

Ivan realizes that Jesper is Colm’s son and he is not happy. Colm isn’t 100% what’s going on but he’ll throw hands with a heartrender if it means protecting his son. They make up by the end and their previously tumultuous friendship is solidified

Fedyor’s been volunteering in a lot of community projects but accidentally overbooks himself. Ivan and Colm have to pretend to be him so he can be three places at once

News of the Darkling’s death reaches them. Ivan struggles with what this means for him even though he’s already left that life behind. Colm confronts Fedyor about them working with the Darkling and he admits it’s true but they’ve changed

#i know there’s a 0% chance of this happening but I want it so bad anyway #i might write this #probably not the whole season but maybe a few episodes #the tone is going to be comedy but will occasionally tackle really heavy topics and leave you like …ouch #god how I wish I had the time and resources to make every show I think of a reality #shadow and bone #shadow and bone netflix #shadow and bone au #ivan x fedyor #fedyor x ivan #fedyor kaminsky #ivan shadow and bone #ivan no last name #colm fahey #fivan #heartrender husbands

Wire hcs pls🙏😞 he is a good boy with giraffe size

i'm still not over his giraffe size, how is he over a foot taller than Kid (who is 6'9 ??)

Has back problems from constantly having to bend down to talk to the crew

Also has knee problems from having to squat down to avoid Kid feeling insecure about his height

Will happily bend down to kiss you though, but he complains about how much it hurts

Would ask you to buy a step ladder for when you kiss him

Considers Heat to be his biological brother

They steal each other's clothes all the time

Likes sitcoms

Mildly addicted to gossip

His gossip buddies are Heat and you

The gossip sessions are held in the skull of the Victoria Punk and involve his famous hot chocolate

He has yet to tell anyone (but you) the secret recipe to the hot chocolate and plans to take it to his grave

About 75% of his wardrobe is sheer or fishnets

Is super clumsy

Wears his fishnet stockings to hide the bruises he gets from falling all the time

Killer had to cut his cape to be shorter so he would stop tripping on it

Trained as a bartender before he joined the crew

Named his trident "The Fork"

Likes rock music, specifically British rock

Probably English, Dutch or Welsh

His drink of choice is straight vodka

Asks you out by buying you a small bouquet of red and white roses

A black belt in karate and trains anyone who asks to learn

Leans on you all the time

He and Heat have probably serenaded you with a very out of tune rock song that has a very unromantic meaning

Very bad at poker

Does not fit on your shared bed and has to curl up around you

Voted the most freaky member of the crew by around 28 members of the crew

Good luck because he's into everything

You want to him to sub for you? He will. You want to be tied up in rope? He already has the rope in his drawers ready.

Will try the most bizarre sex positions with you, but prefers anything where he can see your arse

King of consent though, will check on you every step of the way and regularly ask if you need to stop or take a break

The type to make you sit next to him at bars and wrap his arm over your shoulders, will then choke or make out with you in front of people who stare at you too long

Will just slap your arse and spit in your mouth super casually whilst he's in the middle of a conversation with the crew

If you wore leather lingerie (specifically black or orange) he would loose his mind and it would not make it through the night

Massively turned on by the height difference you both inevitably have

Has a lot of stamina and will keep going until you're overstimulated and drooling underneath him

Enjoys giving and receiving pain, if he hits you (consensually of course) he'll let you hit him back as many times as you want

King of aftercare

#this may have become very self indulgent towards the end #but i love wire so much #wire #wire one piece #wire op #wire x reader #wire headcanons #wire smut #wire thirst #killer op #heat op #eustass kid #massacre soldier killer #eustass captain kid #heat one piece #one piece #one piece smut #one piece x reader #one piece thirst

Billy & Tommy Maximoff Masterlist

A dire situation (ao3) - Miss_Dreamer T, 9k

Summary: When Wanda got captured by Agatha in episode 8, you thought you'd seen the entire story.

You were wrong.

The darker, more intimate moments were blocked from ever airing on television. The transcripts describing these moments were left behind after the hex collapsed, collecting dust on a desk in Agatha's basement. After careful extraction and consideration, they were posted here. Enjoy.

And They Lived Happily Ever After (ao3) - letoatreidcs wanda/vision E, 2k

Summary: Vision watched as Wanda’s breathing evens out, slow and steady. Takes a moment to admire the view, overwhelmed by a surge of gratitude for this incredible woman, safe in his arms and their children, one in the middle of them cuddling to mom and the other spread on his chest.

His family.

In the two years he used to sneak around to see Wanda, he used to daydream about this. Never believing it was possible, but deep down always hoping that somehow it could be done. They still have a lot to figure out, with the twins, their powers, Wanda’s powers and his own old, new body. A lot of explanations to be given, but right now the room is dark and the house is quiet and Vision closes his eyes.

He gets to enjoy now and forever.

'Cause I love you for infinity (ao3) - letoatreidcs wanda/vision E, 4k

Summary: It was raining lightly outside their house.

The once blue and clear sky was now painted in mixtures of gray and white as the steady pattering of water hit the windows and roof. It was a sleepy morning, the kind meant to be savored under blankets with a loved one.

Vision loved these mornings.

Eventually (ao3) - Heartwriter2607 stephen/wanda M, 140k

Summary: AU where Wanda and Stephen stumble across a universe in which they are the parents of Tommy and Billy - A discovery that leads them to find answers for questions that have never been asked before.

Family is Forever (ao3) - gabshill wanda/natasha G, 3k

Summary: The one where Billy and Tommy tell Natasha they love her for the first time.

family is forever (ao3) - lady_romanov wanda/vision T, 35k

Summary: “So long, darling,” Vision says, as the walls of their house turn to dust, and Wanda watches as he disintegrates right from her hands, floating away in a cloud of gold as the real Westview reappears around her. Wanda’s empty hands fall back to her sides as she struggles to breathe evenly, and just as grief is starting to claw its way up her throat to choke her, she is startled by a voice behind her.

“Mom?”

(AU: Tommy and Billy survive.)

Oh, When the Sky Comes Falling Down (ao3) - Shleapord G, 806

Summary: As the red gets closer to the house, Billy’s head gets quieter. People are scared, and then they’re gone from his mind. Tommy is scared. Billy doesn’t want Tommy to be gone. Billy is scared too, and he also doesn’t want to be gone.

Billy teleports himself and Tommy out of the Hex at the last moment, and together they have to learn how to live outside of Westview.

Perfect As You Are (ao3) - boopoopeedoo wanda/vision T, 4k

Summary: Wanda and Vision's resolve to remain just friends is tested when Tommy and Billy rope Vision into rescuing Wanda from a bad date.

Safe & Sound (ao3) - Chaotic_Cate wanda/vision G, 973

Summary: When Wanda and Vision tucked their boys into bed on that last night in Westview, Billy knew what was coming. This is the scene from Billy's POV, including after his mom and dad leave the room.

Sitcom in Which Certain Lines are Crossed Out (ao3) - jenks T, 11k

Summary: When one of the students at Xavier's — whose powers include manipulation of TV signals — accidentally turns the channel over to a show that doesn’t exist, Peter Maximoff isn't sure what to think. Then he finds himself trapped in said show, so, yeah; he’s pretty sure that this whole 'WandaVision' situation sucks majorly.

Now he just needs to find a way out: if he can, of course. It's hard finding yourself rooted to the spot when all you want to do is run…

(Canon-compliant to 1x05: A Very Special Episode. COMPLETE.)

So Take Me Home (ao3) - wisteriafic wanda/vision T, 16k

Summary: Wanda and Vision, living a happy little life in the suburbs.

Synthesis (ao3) - englishmajor226 wanda/vision N/R, 296k

Summary: This is a Wanda/Vision fic that alternates from the events in Wandavision to a lead-up of all past events until Infinity War, exclusively from Vision’s POV. Hang tight, kids. It’s gonna be a long one.

The Series Finale (ao3) - bluemoonsabo N/R, 4k

Summary: This is a fix it fic for the WandaVision season finale because Ralph Bohner can suck my ass

Typical Friday Night (ao3) - gabshill wanda/natasha G, 2k

Summary: Natasha is finally working on the treehouse project when Wanda comes looking for her, followed by Tommy and Billy.

Zenith (ao3) - Cyan_Rain wanda/vision T, 61k

Summary: Billy and Tommy wake up miles from Westview, in a world that's nothing like the idyllic life their mother made for them, a world still reeling from a bizarre mass disappearance and reappearance people are starting to call "The Blip."

Six years later, there has been no sign of Wanda for so long she's presumed dead. Her children decide it's time to find answers.

Billy, Tommy, Vision, Doctor Strange, America Chavez, and Reed Richards follow a series of clues to another universe, to a variant Earth so different from their own it might as well be an alien planet, where they will face unknown dangers, strange mysteries, and possibly the Scarlet Witch.

What do you think of the downfall of Fez? S1-4 he was okay (a little unnecessary imho), but s5-8 he was unbearable. Practically every time he was in the circle from s5-8, I had to mute him, because I knew he was going to say something incredibly sexist

Hi! First of all, thanks for the ask! I love discussing That ‘70s Show with other people in the fandom. 😊

Since I’ve started running this blog on tumblr again, I’ve noticed that there is a lot more discourse about Fez and his problematic behaviors than there used to be like, five or so years ago, at least from what I’ve noticed. So I appreciate you sending the question over my way, because I don’t think I’ve ever really addressed Fez’s behavior on my blog in the past. Partly because its really in the later seasons that he really becomes problematic (and I’m still covering the early seasons), but also because there really wasn’t much discussion about it before now (again, at least that’s been my experience).

I actually quite enjoy Fez in the early seasons. Was he my favorite character? No, definitely not. Did he show some problematic behaviors then, too? I’d say yeah, some. But I don’t know that I personally would consider Fez from S1-4 to be unnecessary. I found Fez to be naïve, young, and oftentimes totally clueless, particularly about American culture, so I think a lot of his early season problematic behaviors (e.g., his fondness for using the term ‘whore’) are more of a reflection of him trying to learn American customs and not a reflection of who he is as a person. But I enjoyed watching him learn and seeing his friends show him the ropes, so to speak, by teaching him what was considered socially acceptable (for the ‘70s), but also giving him new experiences, like trick-or-treating on Halloween.

I think your choice of words – the downfall of Fez – is incredibly accurate. Because I actually like Fez from the early seasons, and the writers had a lot potential as far as what they could have done with his character as the show progressed to later seasons, it really is a downfall when Fez becomes more and more of a sexist, lazy, thoughtless pig. Whereas his naivety can explain his behavior in the early seasons (when he is still new to the U.S. and its culture), the same cannot be said for Fez in the later seasons. He knows better now, and the way that he behaves and the things that he says really are now more of a reflection of who he is as a person, and are no longer him just trying to fit in. I’ve only seen season 8 in bits and pieces, but the way Fez behaves in that season (especially towards Jackie) literally makes ne nauseous, and is just one of many (many, many, many) reasons that I will never watch season 8 in full or consider it to be canon.

That ‘70s Show is my favorite show for a lot of reasons, but the main one is that I love all the (main) characters. They’re like my friends, you know? I try to remember that the show is a sitcom, and I try not to always take what’s happening on the screen at face value. I really love analyzing why the characters do the things they do, especially when they’re doing something dumb, or thoughtless, or something that completely maligns with who they’ve shown themselves to be in the past. I do this a lot with Jackie and Hyde, because they are my OTP, and because its often just so easy to understand Hyde’s cold ‘aloofness’ or Jackie’s vapid selfishness as defense mechanisms because of their past experiences and traumas. I’ll admit, its much harder to understand Fez’s problematic behaviors in the later seasons, and there is certainly no appropriate way to excuse his behavior by finding some deeper meaning behind it. All that is to say, that when I’m watching the later seasons and find myself grimacing at what Fez is saying/doing, instead of just taking it at face value or trying to rationalize his behavior, I try to imagine a redemption arc (that the show never gave him) where he later atones for his indiscretions and tries to correct his mistakes from the past and use all the opportunities he has been given to make a difference. Because once upon a time, Fez did have the potential to be a great character. And that’s also the glorious thing about reading and writing fanfiction – we, as a fandom, have the power to give Fez the development and growth that the show never did.

Thank you again for the ask!

Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Just need to take the dogs to the vet, but apart from that I can do whatever I want. I'm really happy I don't have any events tomorrow – my first free Sunday in over a month :( Sucks that I cheer for the bare minimum now but such is work and such is life.

What's the longest movie you've ever seen? Gone with the Wind is like 2 minutes shy of being 4 hours long.

What movies did you watch a lot as a kid? I watched Toy Story constantly. To this day it's still one of my favorite kids' movies.

How many rooms are in your home? If you mean bedrooms, we have four.

Do you ever experience imposter syndrome? Yeah, little bit.

What was the last place you rode to in a car? Traveled quite a bit today actually! I was driver to my sister and her friends today as they had a girls' day out – I brought them to Salcedo for their lunch, then separately I needed to drive to BGC to show up briefly for an event a client was having (the work wasn't intense; I just dropped by to make sure things were going well).

Do you have a PayPal account? If so, how often do you use it? I have but I never use it. I've never understood how it works so I just stopped trying to learn lol. Whenever I need to deal with international monies I just course it through my dad's cc.

Are you cold right now? No. The aircon's on but the temperature is just right – chilly enough that I'm super comfortable, but not too cold that I need a blanket or can't focus on this survey.

How old will you be at your next birthday? I'll be 26.

Before this one, when was the last time you took a survey? A little bit after lunch.

Can you skip rope? Sure. I'm not nearly as good as I used to be since my body feels heavier now, but I can still definitely do sets.

Have you ever participated in a charity fundraising event? I've taken part in fundraisers, but not events altogether.

What is your hair like at the moment? It's in a half ponytail, but I'll give a bigger shoutout to its texture(?) – it's a lot less frizzy today since I was in air conditioned spots all day hehe :)

Do you like cucumber? No.

What do you like and dislike about your job? (or your last job) I like the freebies, the cool shit I get to launch, the regular opportunities to see celebrities, and the semi-regular opportunities to work with K-pop artists/campaigns. I hate the hours, the regular disrespect for boundaries, and the unpredictability of clients/brands I handle.

Have you ever had a dream job? If so, did you give up on it, and why? Or do you happen to have that dream job? My dream job in the grand scheme of things is to do WWE PR, and while I'm not quite there and the chances getting there are quite bleak, I'm still nonetheless in the same industry.

What's the last sitcom you watched? Friends.

What car did your parents or guardian drive when you were growing up? The first car they had was a black Mitsubishi Lancer. When they upgraded a few years after, they still went with another Lancer – but a newer model, and it was initially blue for a few years until they had it painted to white.

Do you have milk in your fridge right now? What kind? I think we may have a carton at the moment, but idk what type.

Are you left or right handed? Right.

If you have your ears pierced, how old were you when you got them done? I was a few months old.

Do you have any other piercings? No, just the one on my ears.

What was the last thing you wrote down in the notes app on your phone? Headline options for the press release I was drafting yesterday. I silently brainstorm 24/7 and I happened to think of two catchy phrases while having lunch, so I needed to type them down before I forget about them.

Have you ever been on a winery tour? Nope.

When was the last time you were hungover? May was the last time I had a particularly bad hangover.

Do you still have Facebook? If so, how often do you check it? Yes, it's the most popular social media where I live. I check mine everyday just to keep updated on news and if there are new dog rescues that need to be funded so I can donate.

Are you wearing your favourite colour today? Nope, I don't have anything in purple today.

Would you ever want to visit South Korea? I'd love to go back but it comes with feelings guardedness(?). Koreans are notoriously racist towards Filipinos, especially the older generation who seems to see us as below humans.

Racism makes people so weird and gross and annoying.

How many times in your life have you been in love? Once.

Do you like your name? Yes.

Steven James Hyde (born November 28, 1959), an '80s Man...

"Screws fall out all the time, the world's an imperfect place." -John Bender, The Breakfast Club

Welcomed, to the Forman and Barnett Family:

Jacqueline "Jackie" Hyde (nee Burkhart) (wife, May 1982-present)

Rebecca "Becca" Hyde (daughter, with Jackie, born December 5, 1985)

James Hyde (son, with Jackie, born October 22, 1987)

William "WB" Barnett (still his dad)

Angela "Angie" Barnett (still his sister)

William "Will" Clark (nephew)

Reginald "Red" and Katherine "Kitty" Forman (adopted parents, since April 1982)

Eric Forman (adopted brother)

Donna Pinciotti-Forman (nee Pinciotti) (adopted sister-in-law)

Elizabeth "Betsy" Kelso, Katherine "Kate" Forman, and Cecilia Acosta (goddaughters [adopted niece; for Kate], with Jackie)

Alexander "Alex" Forman (upcoming adopted nephew [*cough* niece *cough*])

Adrian Forman (adopted nephew), Hannah Kelso and Ashley Tate (basically his nieces)

Location(s):

Point Place, Wisconsin (January-March 1980)

Milwaukee, Wisconsin (March 1980-September 1989)

Chicago, Illinois (September 1989-present)

Occupation(s):

Owner and manager of the Point Place Grooves (January-March 1980), owner and manager of the West Milwaukee Grooves (March 1980-September 1989), owner and manager of the Rogers Park and Hyde Park Grooves (September 1989-present)

Interests:

Hobbies: Music, music, music. Learning how to play guitar. Hanging out with the wife and kids. Playing some chess. The occasional beer or joint, the occasional party or circle. The guys watched The Brave Little Toaster when they were high as fuck once. Because the creators had to be high, man, to write a whole fuckin' movie (based on a book, apparently) about talking appliances.

Movies: Stand by Me, Rain Man, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Heathers, The Breakfast Club. He watches the last two with Jackie, and the National Lampoon stuff with Forman and Donna, usually.

TV: Little House on the Prairie. Forman and Donna rope him into watching Cheers and The Wonder Years sometimes. Most 80s sitcoms suck, though. It's all super G rated, nuclear family crap. He only likes that stuff in real life, not idolized on some half-assed TV set.

Music: Lots of the old stuff. Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath. Some Santana and Steely Dan, if he's in a good mood. He listens to some new releases from AC/DC, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Springsteen, and other holdovers from the 70s.

But ever since Bonham and Lennon died, music hasn't been the same. Hair metal sucks (fuck Twisted Sister, Poison, Motley Crue, and Def Leppard), and so does the soft rock crap Forman calls rock (it's barely rock music, catered to the masses), so only a few popular 80s bands pique his interest. Mainly, Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Guns 'N Roses. Bon Jovi's all right, but that's more of Forman and Donna's thing.

By the end of the decade, though, the alternative and grunge scene's where it's at. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers. A bunch of other underground stuff, which he's more than willing to support. With his hard-earned, cold-hard cash.

Extra Note: Orwell's dystopia gets closer and closer to comin' true, all the fuckin' time...

Oh, you wanna talk some Casey Jones

I'm glad a concept like Ninja Turtles has endured for decades, and it's getting new stuff and all that, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to Gatekeep a lil.

Miss me, just go ahead and totally miss me, with this "teenage, learning-the-ropes Casey Jones" shit. Bc let me tell you something: I've seen that 1990 Ninja Turtles movie probably more times than I've seen my mother's face, and it taught me a thing or two about Found Family, responsibility to others, and most importantly, what peak Casey Jones looks like.

so for some FACTS:

>Casey Jones is, like, thirty-five. Thirty at the youngest. His nerve endings have dulled to nothing, he hasn't felt pain since 1983, his skin is 100% leather jacket by this stage.

>He's not a "vigilante." Guy like Casey Jones has no want for namby-pamby shit like "justice" or any "ninja code." He fights, and he fights, and he will stop fighting when he loses which will happen around nineteen-ninety-never.

>The only barometer any Ninja Turtle has for Mr. Casey Jones' aptitudes is comparing him to 90s sports stars.

>To a guy like Casey Jones, a "job" is naught but the incubus of time, sucking away at the hours he could spend beating up criminals

>What is a criminal to a cold motherfucker like Casey Jones? Well the term is flexible. Muggers, drug dealers, people who are outside, large green trenchcoat men with a lil too much attitude, teenagers, malevolent urban ninja clans comprised of teenagers, cops, I mean look at the guy funny and hockey pucks aren't the only thing getting spun tonight.

>Casey Jones sleeps in a car. Oh, what, you think he's gonna go and build himself a little hideout? Do you honestly think a guy like Casey Jones is needing to hide from any Earthly force?

>Casey Jones does not fear death. He barely believes Ninja Turtles exist, and he's personal friends with four of them. This disregard for his own life (jumping headfirst into a gaggle of armed ninjas, strolling into their base with, like, a stick) is motivated by the possibility that none of this is actually happening to him. Casey Jones does not rule out that this is all a stupid dream wherein he's an indestructible superhero.

>He beat Raphael in a fight. Totally fair, equal prep time, for Casey Jones this was his second fight of the past three minutes, complete wash, Raphael is left in a can, wipe of the hands.

>Casey Jones dismantled the Foot clan by calling them cringe.

>Casey Jones killed Shredder. The last thing Shredder heard before his gruesome demise was Casey Jones dropping a sitcom closer.

>Laying it out like that, let's acknowledge that Casey Jones basically soloes the entire movie. Oh, the Turtles are strongest as a team of brothers? Come for the King.

>Casey Jones is "refuses to elaborate further" the character. He heard someone say Mary Sue and asked if she was single.

If any twerp wants to stroll into a new Ninja Turtles thing, dare to call themselves Casey Jones, and doesn't meet all of these points, terribly sorry but that is hashtag not my Casey Jones. You got big shoes to fill, squirt.

#casey jones #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #this is partly joking #but the other part is entirely serious #casey jones isnt just a name and a mask #its an idea #from the field of reeds the heroes rescue the flower

OKAY BUT LIKE IMAGINE a legends of tomorrow style episode where klayley and hope forced into a sitcom like zari nate and behrad were and hayley and hope completely roll with it and cackle at klaus thundering around, who's the only one of the three of them trying to get them out of there

this was sent weeks ago but alas i'm terrible at answering messages in a timely fashion as usual lol

i feel like you just described klaylope in any group activity because klaus is forever a murderous grumpy thundercloud of a person who refuses to participate or have fun (and is roped into doing so anyways by hayley who won't take no for an answer lbr) while hayley and hope are always enthusiastic and taking tons of pictures. also it's a rule in the family that, to atone for every daggering or attempted "banishing" of a family member (kol comes to mind) he has to wear the iconic Mothertrucker hat in a public outing.

and i can totally imagine klaus being the extra dramatic person he is in a LOT style situation and being like I'M AN IMMORTAL INDESTRUCTIBLE HYBRID YOU CAN'T TRAP MEEEEEEEEEE and hope is like 'dad this is basically a regular tuesday for me at school we just learned to have fun' but klaus is allergic to fun so you know how that goes

#dreamerdiving #i'm sorry it's been 100+ years #annabelle's messages

BW Media Spotlight's Saturday Night Showcase> Tagteam

Professional wrestling has an interesting history outside of the actual wrestling shows. With the exception of the occasional sitcom (anyone remember Learning The Ropes?) wrestling is treated as real in fiction as it is in actual wrestling events, like kayfabe was bleeding into the world of stuntmen. This does make for interesting drama and action at least. Real professional wrestlers may have…
