Top ten weird ways Oswald Cobbepot gets called in Gotham

As I was rewatching Gotham, I decided to write down every name that people in the show canonically call Oswald Cobblepot aka the Penguin. It was a wild ride. Please enjoy

10. "Funny looking fellow"

(season one)

We start with a simple one. This isn't even an insult, it's just a fact. He is, indeed, a funny looking fellow. I'm pretty sure they say it more than once too.

9. "The Dapper Gangland Kingpin"

(season two)

This one it's just silly, especially since it was written on a newspaper. Just... that's weird ? Idk it's silly it makes me chuckle

8. "Yellow rat snitch"

(season one)

We start getting a little weirder. Why a rat? And, more importantly, why yellow???

7. "Stupid lame birdbrain"

(season four)

Just so mean. Especially since this scene it's his dumb husband making a room full of people chant it

6. "Golden goose"

(season one)

Right back to season one and it's incredible dialogue. This one is particularly amazing thanks to Oswald's reply to it, which was, of course: "Honk honk". I can't even start to describe that scene. It's a classic.

5. "Beaky nosed freak"

(season five)

Definitely the best nickname the last season had to offer. Like, you know that moment when a guy kills your bestfriend/girlfriend and you call him the silliest name you can think of? This is one of those times.

4. "Scaley faced bitch"

(season one)

This is the first one in the show, directly from the first episode. I am a firm supporter of calling men bitches when they deserve it, and he did, so I wholeheartedly approve this message. Adding the scaley face part just makes it more poetic.

3. "Sad little breadhead"

(season two)

This one from never fails. Imagine it delivered with the most condicending tone in the world. Just amazing. Makes me laugh every time.

2. "Fruitcake leprechaun"

(season two)

This. This is the one that started it all. It was thinking about this one that I decided that this rewatch I was gonna write down all the nicknames. I dont know if it has something to do with english not being my first language, so I don't have the background of the word "fruitcake" used as an homophobic remark, but this name is one of the funniest things I have ever heard in my life.

1. "Limping little chickenbutt second banana"

(season one)

This couldn't not be on the first place. I am obsessed with the writers of this show, i want to get inside their brains. Because like what does it mean? How did they come up with this? I need to know every thought that crossed their mind for them to write this. This is art. This is poetry. Incredible. Amazing. Absolutely insane. Kudos to the actor who played Maroni because if they gave me that line I wouldn't be able to say it with a straight face.

Bonus:

(For the fans, he is also called "the only thing Nygma cares about". Just... you know, in case you forgot)

Some recurrent nicknames are: "Pengy", "Ozzie", "freak", "cockroach", "punk", bird related names (bird/birdman, feathered friend, chicken, turkey...) and "little"/"tiny" followed by almost anything (man, friend, dirtbag, bastard, creep, twerp, freak, weasel...)

Edit: i realize i didn't mention "Major Crumblepot" and that's on me sorry guys

His haircut is described as "disco vampire hair" at one point (another classic)

He is also called "specimen", which is really funny, and "dewdropper"?? for some reason I don't remember but it was in my notes and I couldn't ignore it lmao

#ofc “penguin” is implied #i finished my latest rewatch!!! ajsnakak i love this little silly guy so much AND i made my brother love him too YAY #gotham oswald #oswald copplepot #ed nygma #nygmobblepot #gotham #riddlebird #gotham fox #show #tv show #top ten #top ten weird ways oswald cobblepot gets called #gotham fandom #scaley faced bitch <3 #fandom meme #gotham meme

Hiiii 🙋‍♀️ Can you write an one-shot which reader is Gojo's one year junior in Jujutsu tech? I can't stop thinking him with a silly kouhai who annoys him first but matchs %100 with his energy afterwards. I don't have a specific scene between them, i just wanna see them a little bit stupid and cute together 😅 i think he needs a break and reader can be an escape where he can be himself rather than the strongest 🤷🏼‍♀️ on my mind, in some point reader starts growing feelings for him but doesn't wanna accept because of his power and looks. She doesn't think she would even be a choice so she always rejects the idea of loving him but at the same time wanna be his friend forever 'cause she sees, he is happy and relaxed with her. But by the time her feelings that kept unaccepted grow harder and harder so staying as friends becomes harder too 😬 i know it's a detailed "non-specific" idea but this is the baseline of the story that keeps turning on my mind. I would become really happy to read a story like this written by you 😇 btw can it be sfw? But fluffy kisses and touchs are very appreciated 🥰 just can not imagine them in an intimate scene like in smuts for now 😬

The sun and the cloud

Senpai Gojo x kohai reader

Summary: Your senpai is like a cloud. Sometimes white and happy. Sometimes black and angry.. You were his sun. His escape from a bad life as a Jujutsu sorcerer.You wanted to be his friend forever. However, you seem to have fallen in love with him...

"This bird is strange... It's such a flying white fluff! It's so small, how can it fly? It's so small and fluffy... Don't you think it looks weird being so white with those black eyes?"

You looked at your senpai who was looking at a picture of a bird he found in a postcard display.

You looked at the bird in the picture and then he has it.

This bird reminded you of something... Or rather, it reminded you of someone...

"It looks like you, senpai." You said right away when you realized that this white bird with black eyes looks like him.

He has white hair and wears his black glasses.

He looked at you with a raised eyebrow. You chuckled softly at his reaction.

"...Really (y/n)?"

You took a step back and covered your mouth with your hand as you saw his reaction.

Before he changed his reaction, you pulled away, knowing what was about to happen.

Then his hands shot up at you, pinching your cheeks.

"You can be a hamster if you want! If you think I'm that bird!" he laughed, stretching your cheeks.

"Szzenpai–" you mumbled, unable to speak normally because he was holding your cheeks.

You reached for his sleeves, holding the fabric in your hands.

"Have you had enough, little kohai? Are you giving up?" He chuckled, looking at you with a winning smile.

He released you as your fingers reached for his wrists.

He didn't care that you were in the store.

He just acted like him.

With a smile, he turned sideways to you, wanting to indicate that he wanted to go.

"Because you're tall, sometimes you look like a weasel or a ferret." You said suddenly and he stopped, looking at you with a fake annoyance on his face.

He reached out to you as you laughed, and put his arm over yours, pulling you closer to him.

That was your close senpai/kohai relationship.

And that relationship was perfect for you.

You were his escape from his worries. He adored you as his kohai. You were sweet and funny.

Sometimes you laughed at him or made jokes. But it never happened that you pulled away from him.

You matched his emotions.

You always spent time with him.

And it was very nice for him.

You always made him feel better.

Your sometimes goofy behavior was comforting to him.

That's why he immediately chose you as his favorite kohai. He was only a little older than you. So at your age it was normal.

And you hoped it would be like this until the end. That you will be friends until the end. You will rejoice and mourn together. Cry and laugh. That you will share hours of life together. Talk and spend time. Have fun together.

However, you were also afraid of one thing... that it wouldn't work.

However, your senpai keeps showing you that no matter what happens, you can be by his side.

And it's been like that since you were in school.

From the first year you got there.

Your sincere smile directed at him shone across your face. That's why he was smiling too.

When he was depressed or sick, you cheered him up. You were there, asking what was going on and if there was anything you could do for him. You wanted to be a good kohai for senpai. And then you started talking to him. Talk to him. You brought him candy. He just knew right away that you were his little sun of a smile.

You could grieve with him. You were laughing with him. All. You matched him. And you knew when was the perfect time to laugh. Make him a little nervous.

And even if he did, he couldn't be mad at you.

You were very cute, and you always laughed at what was supposed to be funny.

That's why he couldn't be angry with you.

Just like you stole his newly bought lollipop. And you put it in your mouth, smiling ominously. He looked like a sad, pissed-off cat. And he just opened your mouth, pulled out a candy on a stick, and took it for him.

It was the first time you blushed after...

It was normal for him to eat your food or drink your drink.

You too were able to do something like this. But you never thought he'd be able to share a lollipop with you...

He just took the sweet into his mouth.

Not caring that you just sucked it in your mouth.

It wasn't disgusting to him. He just took what was his.

You felt like you were giving him an indirect kiss right now....!

That's why you blushed.

"what's wrong?" he asked, pulling the lollipop out of his mouth and holding it between his fingers.

"N-Nothing!"

"Why are you blushing?" He leaned down a little so his face was level with his.

That cocky smirk...!

It was so annoying at times, but that smirk was also cool at times. It suited him.

You didn't even want to say that his smirk was handsome!

But it was!

"Just something I remember..." you replied, turning sideways to him.

"Oh? Really?" approached you from the front. "Because I thought it was the indirect kiss we had through the lollipop."

His damned perceptiveness!

He suddenly brought a lollipop to your lips, lightly tapping your lip with the candy.

"Look how red you are! It's just an indirect kiss!" He laughed before taking his lollipop to his lips.

You pushed his face away with your hands, watching his cheek being deformed by your fingers.

He chuckled and pulled the candy stick out of his mouth, pulling your hand away to quickly lean over. And placed a quick kiss on your forehead.

"It's not an indirect kiss anymore~" he hummed before taking the lollipop again.

This is his game! This cannot be taken seriously! Such jokes also happen!

You pushed the glasses up his nose with your fingers, making it stick to his face.

"Ow!" He groaned as he adjusted his glasses.

You turned on your heel, pretending to be offended.

He ran over to you, placing a large hand on your head.

"I was joking! (y/n), don't be mad at me!"

He could be himself with you.

Could have been him. He could be what he wanted to be.

Do what he wanted.

You were his escape from the gray reality.

Sorcerer job sucks when it comes to death and combat.

That's why after missions, he would come to you. So that he can meet his sunshine in the dark life of a sorcerer.

And he was a white cloud to you.

While you were the sun, he was the cloud. The cloud is sometimes white, sometimes gray and sometimes black. Just like his humor. He is happy, sad or angry.

Same with you. You were a sorcerer too. But he saw only his sunshine in you.

Because you couldn't be anything else in his life. You were his sweet refuge for warmth. Running away from the cold of life.

Straight to you.

Your little cloud was so handsome and kind... You liked him so much. He was so powerful. He had everything.

And you already knew that the more time you spend with him, the more you feel like you won't be able to be a 100% friend at some point.

Because right now, you started to have feelings for your senpai. Feelings you never thought you'd get...

Especially to him.

To the funny senpai you've been living with since you met in school.

The more you looked at him, the more you felt it.

That something inside you is starting to love him...

You reject it as hard as you can.

Because it didn't make sense... He's powerful. He is one of the strongest sorcerers... Perhaps the strongest... He looks so good...

How could you be with a guy who looks like that and has so much power? It's not real!

You made him feel like he had a friend in you! You didn't want to give him anything else because he probably didn't want that!

You were just supposed to be his friend!

You were supposed to be His refuge from gray days!

How could you fall in love with him?

Every time I look at him, you start to feel the same... The feeling that you love him...

You tried to throw it away. So.

But by rejecting all feelings for him, you would reject him completely... And you wanted to be his friend!

You wanted to stay with him!

But you didn't want your heart to tell you to love him...

You were afraid of this...

He won't accept you...

He won't let you love him... He won't love you...

You just know it...

You don't want to ruin his happiness and his relaxed attitude around you...

You just don't want...

"We can talk?"

His voice snapped out of his thoughts. Your eyes widened as you stared at him as he stood next to you. You were sitting on your bench in the classroom.

"Gojo-senpai...?" You nodded, looking at him with wide eyes.

"I'd like to talk to you about something." he called again, looking into your eyes.

You didn't answer or give him any sign.

So he figured it was something he would do anyway.

He took a chair that was nearby and sat across from you.

Putting your feet under the table on either side of yours.

If you want to escape quickly, you will fail because he will prevent you.

"You're acting weird." He said calmly. "And it's been like that ever since with the lollipop..."

He scratched his nape.

"'Cause you know... I have one feeling I can't get rid of...

You looked at him questioningly.

"I also want to tell you something... But I can't..." he sighed. "Then maybe I'll show you what I want to show you. And also in this way I will ask you if this is also the case for you."

He suddenly stood up and cupped your cheek with his hand. To put his lips on yours.

You were surprised when he did it.

But when he didn't stop, you realized he was serious.

His eyes were closed as he didn't move away from you.

your senpai...

Has he gone mad?

You were all that mattered to him.

But you weren't his lover... That's why he wanted to change that.

And he knew he succeeded when you placed your hands on his cheeks without hitting him. Just holding him.

Round 2, Match 49: Han Muchun vs. Iroh

Submitted kids:

Han Muchun: Yan Zhengming, Li Yun, Cheng Qian, Han Yuan, Han Tan

Iroh: Gaang

Propaganda under the cut!

Han Muchun:

1. “While he was alive? -ish he got five Yan Zhengming our pretty peacock, Li yun the resident forg boy, Cheng Qian childhood ambition to be a serial killer, Han Yuan representing the never ending cycle of how the poor become criminals and a demon bird Shui Keng.

He is a shizun fucker by which I mean he does try to posthumously marry his teacher by attending to his teacher who is chained up for However long their consciousness last.

He is a Great father instilled so many family values in five children by just being an eccentric weasel spirit.”

2. “Han Muchun is a teacher of cultivation with weird, scrungly dad energy. His disciples use the more informal address “shifu” for him which literally translates to “martial father”. He agrees to teach Yan Zhengming after saving his life and YZM imprinting on him like a duckling. It’s unknown how he met Li Yun but he collected him second. He collects Cheng Qian because the boy’s indifferent biofamily wanted to sell him to Han Muchun, and Han Muchun decided to take him in. They meet a starving orphan on the way home, and Han Muchun gives him a name (Han Yuan) and takes him in and teaches him too. Those four find an egg of a half bird creature half human girl, take it home, and Han Muchun takes her in too. She’s given the name Han Tan, and there’s literally scenes of him changing her diaper. He is their dad.”

3. “Best teacher-dad! The five kids are actually his disciples, but to most of them he's more of a parent than any of their birth parents. Cheng Qian's parents literally sold him, Han Yuan was a homeless beggar, Li Yun's parents aren't even mentioned, and Han Tan hatched from an egg the older four brought home (she's half bird yao/supernatural creature). The only one who has family that cares about him is Yan Zhengming and even he actually came under Han Muchun's tutelage because he ran away from home. And Han Muchun accepted this bunch of chaotic kids from different backgrounds, and won their trust, and made them into the found family that wasn’t broken even by a 100 years of separation and everything else that happened in canon (that'd be very spoiler-y to explain)”

No propaganda was submitted for Iroh

Plotbunny AU - Pets

Here we are with some more Plotbunny AU content.

Onto the subject of pets and how they (and mostly Juniper) effect the timeline.

So listen. Listen. Listen.

Pets are obviously allowed in Beacon. Tai sent Zwei to Beacon in canon, so we even know that this probably wasn't more of Ozpin weird favoritism/rule-weaving.

So when people see the blonde dude and his sister with their pet rabbit? Don't think much of it; it's probably there to keep her company during the day when her brother is in classes.

Then blondie brings it to initiation. And calls it his landing strategy.

And then the bunny grows bigger than a horse with its Semblance. And armored blondie is fighting Grimm from horseback jackalope-back.

Well, that's a stretch, but animals with Aura and Semblances are a thing, and he's kind of a hick, so okay.

He has a Bunny Steed, that's.... A Thing, apparently.

(The Jackalope looks super fluffy and purrs when his Team pets it. Everyone is jealous.)

(Thankfully, blondie is apparently a cheerful himbo, always happy to softly introduce them to Juniper and show them how to pet her)

(Just don't hurt Juniper or be too pushy. Blondie's sister will make you regret it)

This leads to Ruby and Yang calling Tai like, day three, and Zwei showing up much earlier. Much to Weiss's joy and Blake's dismay.

Zewi can apparently tackle Grimm and light himself on fire or blow himself up, so between being a second Emotional Support Animal at the school, he also fights Grimm with them on occasion in the forest.

(He also pees on Cardin's boots at one point, and no one can ever price that Alyx bribed him with bacon to make that happen)

Between Juniper petting session and Zwei cuddling sessions, Weiss is doing a lot better a lot faster when it comes to expressing herself positively, and Ruby is more grounded and has a stress outlet. Yang also missed Zwei and encourages him to blow himself up more often to try and 'compete' with Juniper for the spot of 'Best Team Mascot' she invented.

Blake spends more time with Juniper and kinda outs herself because of Zwei, but it's so much more controlled and less explosive than canon. No fighting terrorists or explosions. Weiss even initiates a group hug by the second semester. (She even hugs other people later. Everyone is so happy to see it)

Ren makes sure to give Juniper a balanced diet that will keep her healthy, and may or may not bake veggie cakes for her on occasion.

Nora can and will pick Juniper up and carry her around, no matter her size (excluding when she's as big as a horse) and nuzzle her face.

Pyrrha helps brush Juniper's fur and murmurs sweet nothings to her, and has been spotted taking naps with Tiny-Juniper on her chest.

Jaune is just so happy that they all get along with Juniper. It tears him up.

Alyx makes sure no one hurts Juniper or Jaune. She has a bag of ominously labeled bottles ready.... but she's trying not to use them often, yes Jaune. And also, she helps keep Juniper company during the day, talking softly to her about the Ever After.

JNPR+A all go for a picnic at least twice a week and lay back on the Big Bunny's fluffy stomach and watch the skies while cuddling. It's great and they're so emotionally healthy. (Let them be happy, I'll write it myself RT!)

This leads to some Teams, seeing these two with their exploding dog and size changing bunny, to try and emulate them.

CFVY gets a weasel they try unlocking the Aura of. No one is sure if it worked or not, but Coco dresses Mr Pumpernickel up in a tiny striped shirt and a little beret and it chitters on their shoulders a lot, so whatever.

(He also hides in Velvet's purse on more than one occasion, and jumps on Cardin's face one time. Cardin's scream was very, very high pitched, and the most humiliating thing was Velvet gently pulling the weasel off and asking Cardin if he was alright)

CRDL tried getting an actual Cardinal Bird as their 'Team Mascot' but none of them have ever kept a bird before, so that ended in hilarity, bitten fingers, and the bird flying out a window over the horizon....

They got a fish after that, which is doing surprisingly well.

One of the other faceless teams of canon has a hamster named Boo, who rolls around in a ball all day.

Glynda complains about Beacon being turned into a menagerie, but she's also spotted petting Juniper like 5 minutes later, so she probably doesn't mean it.

Emotional Support Animals make everything better in this AU, and I will never apologize for this tangent.

Correct. Never apologize for this tangent

The pets in this AU mean so much to me. These kids are so traumatized, even this early on in the show, and my god sometimes you just need to hug a big rabbit

what companions would be furries (+ what kind of animal they'd be)

Cait; Incredible trauma. Substance abuse. Questionable employment. This woman already is a furry in canon, Todd just didn't think it relevant to bring up. Not quite hardcore, but not a casual either. She has art and goes to conventions, but she's not getting a suit. There are a lot of good choices for a fursona, but I'm leaning towards a wolverine. They're small and they're fucking terrifying. Those bitches kill bears. They weigh about 30 lbs, give or take. Y'know what else is 30 lbs, give or take? A COCKER SPANIEL. Huge Cait energy.

Codsworth; Would not be a furry, but would find it endearing. Y'know, the same reaction an adult has as a child talks about their wolf roleplay during recess? "I am very confused but at least you have friends and fun, tell me more!" Robot Codsworth's fursona is an octopus, and a synth/human Codsy is a bird. Like...maybe an owl, or something similarly rounded/soft in shape. Think Owl from Winnie the Pooh.

Curie; She's a furry, not a Furry. She's not going to any conventions, and probably isn't drawing her fursona or commissioning art. Its likely she uses it to, like, educate children, like as a mascot for her clinic or something. Same situation as Codsy, two fursonas for her two different bodies. The synth body, that there is a mouse. Cute and very important to scientific discoveries, despite being often disregarded and more often, abused in the field. The Ms. Nanny bot fursona is a blue-ringed octopus, specifically.

Danse; Not a furry. Would find it very strange if it was explained to him, and would assume it was something kids do. Would be visibly disturbed if explained that, no, this is actually more of a teen-to-adult space. If he looks it up later and finds Certain Things, you will be receiving the bill for his next anti-depressants. However, entirely possible he is a closeted furry and has yet to realize this about himself. I'm leaning toward a bull? Bull-headed, obviously, but also, down to earth, reliable, et cetera...it fits his character.

Deacon; KING OF THE FURRIES. Has multiple fursuits, all homemade. Commissions every artist he can find, every Twitter furry artist has him on their waitlist. Does not half-ass his furriness. This man is the furry you only hear about, the one with all the art and custom costumes and all the money to throw at his hobby. His fursonas are plentiful and ever changing, but his favorite one? A chameleon, with holographic, reflective, ever-changing scales.

Gage; would not be a furry. Well aware of what it is due to exposure to Mason. Wouldn't have been into it even if his introduction wasn't him and his crew. He gets the idea, it's just that the idea is weird as fuck. He's a grown man and he has people to scam and/or murder. Obviously, Gage would be an iguana. They have a ridge and a naturally gruff, bored expression. And the skin texture is about the same, too.

Hancock; another casual furry. Its likely he was introduced to it and brought in by someone else, and just kinda stuck around. There are two options as to what he'd be. 1; a sphinx cat. He's lanky, the skin matches, he has some kitty-like traits. The big eyes are a huge part here. 2; sloth. He's a very chill dude, he's always high (sloths getting high is currently contested but the demeanor fits) and despite being very small and not outwardly threatening, is very capable of fucking you up (sloths will use their MASSIVE FUCKING CLAWS for defense).

MacCready; Is a furry. His fursona is a weasel. This is so obvious i don't feel the need to defend or explain this. Look at him. He's a furry. The only interesting thing to say here is that Duncan would also grow up to be a furry. But Mac? He would be a hardcore furry if he had the money. Funds keep him a casual fan. If he did...would be worse than Deacon.

Nick; A first-gen furry. An elder furry. The very old man at the con who sees that you're lost and confused but trying very hard, with your furry 2008 emo paw gloves and your cat ear headband and painted on whiskers, and shows you around. Takes you under his wing (literally, as his fursona is a raven, obvi) and introduces you to various artists, suitmakers, other furries your age he'd think you'd get along with...this community would be in shambles without people like him. He's been here since the beginning and has seen it all, truly.

Piper; dabbled, couldn't get into it. She'd be a passersby, a visitor of a con but not a participator. Interested in the art of furrydom, the actual art and the suits, but as an outside observer. If Piper were an animal...a ferret, a squirrel, a possum, some kind of street-smart rodent. Something clever and tricky, that's always where its not supposed to be. For a wildcard, I could also see her as a bat of some kind.

Preston; not a furry and completely neutral to it. It doesn't interest him, but he doesn't find it weird, either. It's people LARPing as animals, people have been doing that ever since they evolved from animals. He gets it, he really does. Preston would like nothing more than to be a cat that does nothing but sleep and yell for attention. The cat life is peak existence for him. It's just that Preston is very literal, and the furry thing is more exaggerated. He doesn't want cat ears. He wants to not be a human anymore, please for the love of god—

X6-88; furry. A secret, dignified furry. A pretensious one. A gatekeepy one. This furry judges you if you don't have a suit. He has one. He doesn't wear it, it cost more than some houses, it stays in a glass case like a taxidermied trophy hunt. X6-88 is a furry. His fursona? A Doberman, because they were bred to protect asshole tax collectors, which fits with X6 being a courser. Tall, all sharp edges, an arresting glare, and very loyal and hardworking.

#fallout 4 #fo4 #paladin danse #preston garvey #nick valentine #piper wright #x6-88 #robert joseph maccready #companions react #porter gage #Codsworth #ada is a magpie and Longfellow is an angler fish #instead of a bulb angler!Longfellow has like. a beer bottle dangling

Ghost at the zoo

(years ago when I went to Disneyland on my birthday and did a post about the ghouls at Disneyland well I'm doing it again because I went to the zoo this year and I was Inspired)

(based on the San Deigo Zoo)

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

Aether-

accidentally breaks the glass for one of the venomous snake enclosures, panics, and tries to fix it with chewing gum and band-aids before booking it to the other side of the zoo (luckily the snake is asleep and the keepers see it before it escapes)

Dew teases him by the monkeys calling him banana boy, he then subsequently punches Dew in the stomach.

Makes bad dad jokes all day especially fond of "that's a weird looking _" when a keeper is in an exhibit, and telling the baboons to stop monkeying around.

Dew -

Gets attacked by a flock of birds in the aviary. it really ruffles his feathers (I am not good at joke)

Despite repeated warnings, he sticks his fingers into an exhibit and gets bitten by a small monkey.

flirts with one of the keepers in the reptile section and gets to feed a dead rat to a snake. (and a kiss......from the keeper, not the snake!)

Rain-

Takes a dip in the polar bear enclosure by some miracle he doesn't get caught or eaten.

Ather finds him later in a heated argument with a turtle. Ather then realizes Rain can talk to fish and other aquatic creatures (which explains the hours he spends in front of this fish tank at home).

consumes an ungodly amount of lemonade

Mountain-

gets swarmed by birds at the aviary and ends up like those old ladies in Central park covered in birds except he's not feeding them they're just chilling

plays tag with the other ghouls in the kid's area (and like 20 kids it gets wild) until he almost knocks out a toddler. (he's super apologetic and the parents are understanding) Later he reaches down into one of the exhibits with his long ass arms and grabs a kid's stuffed tiger returning it safely (and all was right in the world)

Accidentally spends the night in the zoo after falling asleep in the bushes. Has to hop some fences and climb a few trees to get out.

Swiss-

A terror at the zoo. The zoo has a record number of incident reports involving a strange smiling masked man?.. entity?

A thief steals a bunch of souvenir magnets, gets a sloth backpack and fills it with snacks he stole from unattended strollers in the park, and steals a certain staff member's keys at least 3 times for shits and giggles. (it only occurs to him on the way home the things he could have done with those keys)

(TW: vomit ) Gets a tummy ache from eating too much cotton candy and vomits In an empty stroller.......well, he's 90% sure it was empty.

Cirrus-

Has a cute little butterfly land on her, eats it

Buys a red panda hat at the store, and refuses to take it off for a week

Waits in line for almost 2 hours to feed the giraffe. She gets so excited she nearly drops the lettuce. Cumulus takes a million pictures for her

Cumulus-

Spends most of the day trying to figure out the zoo map with imperator

Attempts to get group photos with all of the cool statues to various amounts of success

Shares some cotton candy with an orangutan. Gets caught by a keeper but she weasels her way out of it (scares the living shit out of the poor employee)

Sunshine-

LOTS of excited squealing and hops of joy! (and potentially autism) It's her first time ever going to the zoo, and she enjoys every second.

Especially into the skyfari. (although Aether did have to hold her hand the first time)

Takes pictures of all the animals with funny snap chat filters the ghouletts huddle at the back of the bus and giggle looking through them on the ride home

Nihil-

A MENACE! scaring poor old ladies in the bathroom, using his noncorporal form to walk into exhibits, giggling about seeing the animal's naughty bits, and accosting random teens asking if they heard his song on the TikTok.

Imperator-

Spends most of the day hopelessly lost with cumulus and getting the ghouls out of trouble.

Let's go of Nihil's wheelchair while going downhill after he makes a fourth joke about the lion's penis.

manages to enjoy as few quiet moments in the aviary watching the birds before being disturbed by Dew's screeching.

Primo , Secondo, Terzo-

Supposed to be dead so they all don awful disguises and pretend to be a group of grannies. (Terzo's idea of course)

spend most of the day bickering with each other like children.

(TW: sad) Copia -

Follows Imperator and Nihil around the zoo like an obedient puppy.

Actually really excited to be there but keeps up the mask to maintain appearances and appease Imperator.

Does get a picture with the capybara

How would you represent the 16 personality types as animals?

ENTJ - Lions & Tigers, proud but predatory and in charge, amazing sense of presence, easy to be in awe of even as they destroy and scare everyone in their path, often becomes a big target for others because everyone wants to say that they were able to “bring the fat cat down”

ENTP - Seals & Sealions, the clowns of the sea who are awkward, get into all sorts of trouble on land and the sea, but lovable, always barking never shutting up, until they do and then they are very sad (or are trying to find a way to break the silence and any other rule you imposed on them)

ENFJ - Horses, proud and strong and carries others, sometimes are independent stallions that cannot be tamed, sometimes can be your literal nightMARE, but also liable to be showhorses prancing around and DEMANDING attention from the audience

ENFP - Dogs, usually intelligent and generally loves people and are very protective of the “underdog” but ultimately enjoys having fun and doingt hings to get praise/pets and being affectionate towards those they love, comes in all sorts of sizes and colours like the rainbow beings they are

ESTJ - Rhinos & Bulls, generally BIG stubborn herbivores that could run you over if you get in their way of doing things, can be very loud, very gruff, and very in your territory trying to make it THEIR territory

ESTP - Racoons & Weasels, sneaky and adventurous, gets into all sorts of trouble but surprisingly tenacious and clever, you find them getting into garbage and things you thought you locked them out of, but there they are again, making a mess!

ESFJ - Bears, protective of those in their charge (mama bear!), generally very sweet and generous and maybe a bit “dumb”, but watch out when they are passionate about something! THEY GET VERY LOUD AND SCARY AND IN YOUR FACE!

ESFP - Birds, flighty and freewheeling, but often graceful and pretty, sometimes a bird of prey who can target and hunt targets with exacting vengeance, or can be sweet songbord hyping up the coming seasons.. or annoying woodpecker who won’t just shut the hale up

INTJ - Cats (housecats), often aloof and independent, but can be very curious and affectionate when you have gained their trust, liable to bite or swipe at someone with their claws if they try to get too familiar, often seen as very exact but sometimes you catch them in meme-like stumbles

INTP - Sea Anemonae, Cucumbers & Squirts, very cool but very weird and unclear if they belong with all the other animals, an ecosystem of their own inside their heads, fascinating creatures where you’re not sure how they stay alive

INFJ - Rodents, often small and hidden but are capable of digging through mud and human trash to make complex networks or extract the essences of humanity, intuitive sense of danger and doom (rats escaping a sinking ship), usually very cute but a lot of people are scared of them because they can be vicious (or suspected of carrying mystery pathogens)!

INFP - Deer & Other Pecora (like gazelles), seen as peaceful and gentle but are easily alarmed and may kill you by throwing their bodies into your moving vehicles out of nowhere (half the time because they think they are saving your life, the other half because they won’t listen or GO THE OTHER WAY when you’re honking at them), very funny but will tend to ghost you and run away due to anxious nature

ISTJ - Ants & Insects, hard working and industrious, creating complex systems that helps sustain their society even though maybe very boring seeming on an individual level, much stronger than they appear, quietly holding many burdens on top of their shoulders for the sake of a job well done

ISTP - Wolves & other solitary predators, often alone and solitary in spirit but can gather in packs and work in hierarchical systems, quiet and wary until they start howling or are on the sudden attack, very cool but can be very territorial or hang around the wrong packs out of group loyalty

ISFJ - Spiders, dutiful weavers who seem to be in the know of everything that’s going on, so quietly prepares self and ties up loose strings for everyone else, though often small, can be terrifying once you understand how big a web they can weave to tangle you into

ISFP - Snakes, sometimes cute, docile and harmless, other times clingy, suffocating and poisonous, mysterious and often mesmerizing in their artful grace, but once you see them really mobilize or seek to engulf something, it’s hard to not feel disgusted.

The Best Selling Hit RPG from 1985 is Back!

This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness Kickstarter campaign features a relaunch of the original TMNT role-playing game and sourcebooks, sought-after collector items that have enthralled generations since their release in 1985 as one of the first licensed TMNT products.

They are returning to print as two, officially licensed, deluxe hardcover collections of the RPG and all sourcebooks. Each is completely remastered, includes rules clarifications, and is updated to full color. Bonus material includes an array of new artwork, never-before-seen behind-the-scenes info and art, remembrances, and tributes by renowned comic book and RPG creators Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, Freddie E. Williams II, Sophie Campbell, Jim Lawson, Ciro Nieli, David Petersen, Steven Cummings, Ramon K. Perez, and many more.

From Kevin Eastman, TMNT Co-Creator

This is incredibly exciting! I am 1000% onboard to help bring this historic and original TMNT Role-Playing Game series back in a truly deluxe collector’s edition that will thrill original fans and open the door for new ones.

I've made all my archives available for expanded behind-the-scenes content as well as a few top secret surprises you need to be part of. Stay tuned!

What is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness RPG?

CREATE YOUR MUTANT - Mutate your own hero (or anti-hero) from a wide variety of urban, rural, and wild animals from birds to exotic zoo animals. Train them up with a variety of skills, combat experience, weapons, cool gear, and even psychic powers!

EXPLORE - Shrouded in secrecy is a hidden world of mutants, robots, aliens, time travel, and even passages to other dimensions. While their existence is kept secret from the public, the deep lore of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - and other strangeness - awaits fans old and new to experience firsthand.

ADVENTURE - Visit the back alleys, sewers, and dark recesses of metropolises like New York City, or travel to faraway exotic dimensions. Get caught up in mayhem and foil plots to destroy the neighborhood, the world, or even stop an alien invasion. The choice is yours, and so are the weird friends and rewards that await. Each book contains easy-to-run adventure scenarios as well as plot hooks to keep your own story arc fresh for years.

DISCOVER - The familiar cast of the TMNT are joined by unique potential allies, enemies, and frenemies to add to the RPG lore. These characters, originally illustrated in 1985 by Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, and others, have never appeared again in the TMNT comics, cartoons, movies, or video games. The Terror Bears, Caesar's Weasels, Doc Feral, and more will delight new and old readers and gamers alike with their memorable antics, crazy origins, and unique motivations. Learn their schemes and grand plans for the future of mutantkind and decide - will you help them or work against them?

Originally released in 1985, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness role-playing game books were created using typewriters, paste-up boards, and lots of handcrafted skill.

REMASTERED TEXT: Palladium Books' archives of these titles - the original boards sent to printers for printing - have been painstakingly scanned at high resolution, cleaned up visually, edited for typos, and updated with new content and rules clarifications.

Ooh is there anything you can tell us about your original work? Or is it fully a secret for now :3c

Ahhhhh I have kept this story so hush hush for such a long time, it feels weird to even mention it online. I've been working on it since 2017, and its a work of fantasy, so the first few years was near exclusively spend worldbuilding. And its me, so i mean I built everything from the ground up, literally. I spent so much time watching geology micro-documentaries. Gathered info on ecology. Weather systems. Volcanology. Birds. Weasels. What would happen to the food chain if certain animals never evolved. if other kinds did. I made a whole planet and drew it and my husband framed it for me for Christmas three years ago. The characters are most of the way there, as are their growing bonds and dynamics. Its been fun to make OCs and really dig into them in a way I don't have time for in fanfic. I love them all very very much. To no one's surprise there are lots of children. The story will be much like Issho and Nightjar in that the story is child-centric, but not necessarily a children's novel. It'll be a bit long and a bit too in depth on some sensitive topics for it to be "for kids" specifically, but I'd never stop a kid from reading it. The plot is... still very much in construction mode. I make wild changes nearly every day and my friends who are in the know about the story can barely keep up. But they all feel like changes in the right direction! So its a very exciting time. I'm soaking in the spring air and going wild with creativity. Its been YEARS since I made progress like this. Maybe unprecedented amounts of work being done.

Would you believe its Gay Dads and their Three Adopted Children With Issues?

#its not just my post manga terumob fics i promise #extremely different people #entirely different planet #there are spirits and curses and blessings and mystery #not going to lie two of the children WERE based loosely off Benjiro and Mihoko #but i changed enough over the years that they have become their own people #if anyone wanted to see the Beta Version of the planet you could go read my Tsubasa fic #Universal Language #hiiiiiii mintberry #thank you for asking I AM SO HAPPY TO SHARE even if its just a little #i can definitely answer more questions!#i am just going to keep the specifics like names and plot elements to myself #I'm weirdly paranoid about this getting stolen for some reason'#toasty answers

Treetops

My life is weird. I don’t like being human, I don’t like the feelings.

When I lay down, I feel my wings getting crushed, folding into myself and aching by my shoulder blades. I want my wings back, I want to feel them again. I kick a ball and place things on top of me to simulate how it feels like back when I was an angel. To collect the tiny things I used to collect back on my ventures to earth from humans, to feel my feet touch the fluffy grounds of heaven. I like the headphones. My headphones simulate how my hearing used to be, where the sound I heard went all through out my head and gave me tingles of energy.

I like my friends, they remind me of the ones I had before. I feel like me and my girlfriend would have been close, holding each other in our wings but feeling a disconnection between both of us. But maybe me and pidge were best friends, talking to each other about the studies we did on humans, seeing how their relationships and flying across trees to catch closer looks of the human, smacking eachother with our wings as jokes. Or maybe she was a human I would watch, seeing how she would study? I don’t know, I don’t know how feelings or thoughts are supposed to work.

Maybe the people I see online, the people like me, would understand. Maybe they could tell me their ventures back when they were angels, back when they were dolls, back as demons. I want to understand and learn how they felt, we are different but so alike.

Sometimes, I want to venture out into forests with nothing but my bag and my wings. Climb up trees and make my angel call, looking around to see them soar through the tall and airy clouds. I want to jump up, feel my wings spread and catch up to them. Maybe they’ve changed up in heaven, changed their clothing and rules, but I’ll be different. I’ll use the rules I remember. I’ll fly with my friend, see their dragon wings and tail as my fluffy wings scratch against their scales. Maybe I’ll see my smaller friends, the rabbit and dog. I’d see my weasel brethren, the sirens, and the soaring ravens and birds. I’ll see them all. They wont know who I am, but I’ll know who they are.

Maybe someday, I can tell them. Tell them how I feel, allow them to see my apricot wings and red-yellow eyes. My fluffy hair. I’ll let them talk about anything, and I’ll listen.

I’ll listen on those treetops.

finally going to make a post expanding on the familiar assignments from this post

again, quick lore summary: everyone is born with a magic seed, they plant this seed when they hit puberty and eventually it grows and blooms into an animal companion (familiar) that they spend the rest of their lives with.

the blooming is generally agreed on to happen when the person 'finds themself' which usually happens in the 16-22 age range but it can be known to happen later or in rare cases, never.

The animal has to be one the person has seen before with their own eyes. zoos and international safari trips are very popular with teens who want to try and get cool animals.

Another note is the 'intelligence' of the familiar relies on how their person treats them. The more human they're treated, the more human they'll act and vice versa. Silvers for example acts eerily human and seems like shes seconds away from speaking english at any moment while Miyagis is indistinguishable from a regular animal from its species.

i'll note down character - familiar - approx. age of acquiring - and reason (if i have one) for all the ones i have figured out below the cut

so. start out with the obvious:

Daniel has a mongoose. specifically a yellow mongoose. he got it after the castle fight in tkk2. Mongoose was obvious for the mongoose vs cobra thing ofc but I also just really associate especially tkk Daniel with a small scrappy animal. If I didn't go with mongoose I think I'd go with something like a weasel or a ferret. Something small and twisty and flippy.

Johnny has a hornet. I think I modelled the one in the drawing after an Asian giant hornet. Something Big. He gets his a lot later, when he's in his mid 20s ish. A little later than Normal but not so late it's strange. I went with a hornet for a few reasons. First, gold and black are so johnnys colours. Second, I wanted him to have something a little Unconventional and bug familiars usually tend to be (but it still had to be something appropriately badass). Hornets can also be solitary but also it isn't weird for them to be in pairs or groups and I felt like that's fitting for Johnny.

Kreese has a prairie falcon. He got it during that brief window right after he enlisted but before he was sent away when he had a Girl and a Purpose and everything seemed to be going his way. I wanted Kreese to have something that appeared unassuming but was a dangerous predator and my wife and I decided on a bird of prey of some kind. We figured during his youth he likely wouldn't have seen too many exotic animals so something native to his general area would be best and we further narrowed down to a prarie falcon from there. They're a fast and highly accurate falcon with rlly good eyesight and the idea of a piercing glare staring down at students along with Kreeses own stony look felt right. (They're also known for hunting snakes <3)

Silver feels like another very obvious one, he has a King Cobra. Clearly the model for the cobra kai logo <3. He got his after they returned from Vietnam, when he started trying on different personalities to see what fit. (This means his was also fairly late). Silver is a lot more slippery and sleek than Kreese and a snake felt much more fitting as his familiar. (He also has less direct Snake Pit Trauma so still thought snakes were cool). As a young adult, his familiar would've been out on show 24/7 but I think as he grows older, he hides her in his clothes or leaves her at home to maintain his image as relaxed and chill philanthropist. Until of course, he's called back to the action.

Amanda has a leopard. She got it in her early years of college, during her bleach blonde self cut bobcut era and according to everyone who knew her at the time, during her "rebellious phase". But whatever she was going through, she mustve known exactly who she was through it. I gave her a leopard because I felt like something big and elegant that could absolutely rip your throat out would be perfect for her and I could also just see her lounging around with it like it's a regular housecat.

Miyagi has a koi fish. He got it during his teen years and carried it in a bowl with him to America when he left Okinawa. He currently keeps it mixed with the regular koi in his koi pond and the only way you could pick it out is the size of it compared to the others. Miyagi having a fish felt right. It's a simple but beautiful creature which I think fit his ideals well. He doesn't treat it as anything special (something a young Daniel finds appalling) but just gives it the respect he would give any living creature in his care.

Bobby gets a ram. His also was post high school, I wanna say midway through his degree. Ram felt right for Bobby for a few reasons. First, the obvious lamb=god=pastor connection. Rams are also notoriously stubborn animals that are aggressive in a fight which is Very Bobby imo. But sheep in general have a reputation for being very gentle creatures and Bobby fits that too.

Dutch my boy Dutch <3 got a gaboon viper. He got it during high school, peak cobra kai era. His senseis were very impressed with his dedication to the dojo. He was one of the first ones I thought of something for. I wanted him to have a snake for sure and a big thick chunky snake like a gaboon viper just felt so right for him. (Note about familiars with venoms and poisons, the toxicity is very diluted. So his snake can still make you feel awful with a bite but it won't kill you)

Tommy gets a hyena. His was also during high school, I feel like he was the first of the gang to get one. Hyenas are a pack animal and Tommy very much feels like One of the pack. He also seems to have a higher pitched laugh which is very hyenacore so it just felt right for him.

Jimmy has a chocolate labrador. I feel like his was post high school but before he started college. Domestic dogs and cats are very common familiars and Jimmy, as much as I love him, is our most basic boy. I've also just made jokes abt dogboy Jimmy since before I made the au so it was a natural fit.

Ali also gets a dog, this time a cinnamon border collie. Hers comes in college, either her first or second year, I haven't fully decided. While she is conforming to the norms by having a dog, she's standing out a little in her family by having a working breed, something highly intelligent and driven, rather than a pretty lapdog thats just for show. She needed something that matched her intelligence and drive and a border collie fit that.

Lucille has a house sparrow. I haven't thought too much about when she got hers but I imagine it was a fairly typical presentation. I wanted to give her something more common and something that was always moving and a sparrow felt right for that. Always flitting around with lots to say.

Chozen gets an Okinawan rail. His familiar doesn't bloom until s3 of cobra kai, after he's reconciled with Daniel. He had resigned himself to a life without one and was very shocked by it.

Now for some more CK era characters

Carmen has a beetle. I haven't figured out specific type yet, I was tossing up between some kind of jewelled beetle or a horned one. She and Johnny initially bond over both having bug familiars (Johnny is used to girls being like ewww a bug) #bugsquad

Miguel gets a jumping spider. I imagine his comes just after his Mexico trip. Even though it was an incredibly messy time in his life, that trip gave him enough closure that the pieces clicked into place. He's Very pleased to join the bug squad. Jumping spider felt like a good match for him, especially with how bouncy he is when he fights.

Robby has a fly. He actually got his fairly young, before the events of the show started. He is Less pleased to be in the bug squad. As a kid he always felt invisible and small like a fly and as he grew he started to embrace that feeling as it helped with his CrimeBoy Antics. We wanted to give Robby something that had a link to Johnny and in a previous au with this setting we had a pickpocket with a beetle familiar who used the familiar to help steal so we reused that concept here bc it worked well.

Samantha gets a crane. I haven't decided exactly when she gets hers but I'm thinking it's sometime during s2/3. She's got somewhat mixed feelings about it due to not wanting to be her dads mini-me but also its nice to have that connection to her grandpa. Cranes I feel combine the elegance of amandas familiar with the iconicness/irony of Daniels and the vibe of it in general just felt like a good fit for Sam.

Eli ofc gets a hawk. Nothing clever about that. He doesn't get it until after winning the tournament though.

Demetri gets a rabbit. His comes around s3/4ish and at first he does Not get it at all but eventually comes to vibe with it. Rabbits are an animal I've associated with Demetri since I got into the fandom and I just feel like it's very fitting for him. Something flighty and unassuming but that Can pack a nasty kick if needed. And I rlly like the idea of Demetri picking up thumping his foot from the rabbit when he's agitated its fun <3

Stingray is another obvious one <3 he gets a stingray. It happens the night after coyote creek. He's Very late to have one bloom but is absolutely ecstatic and is very enthusiastic about the salt water tank he had to set up for it. Please ask him about his salt water tank.

Tory doesn't have one yet. At her point in the story I just haven't felt she's hit that right time but I think she's getting close. I do think however that she has a pet tarantula that she tells people is her familiar to scare them.

Anthony also doesn't have one, he's too young. But I'm getting a bird vibe.

Yasmin has me and my wife Really torn because we want her to have something Unconventional that She thinks is the most beautiful creature in the world and we're leaning towards an Australian animal bc of where she spends half the show which keeps leading us to joking that Yas gets a fucking. Cassowary. And it's so funny

Louie has a raccoon and he puts a little bowtie on it and keeps bringing it into work and getting into trouble for scaring customers.

Anoush has a little otter and he is Allowed to bring him into work and the customers all find him very charming and it makes Louie seethe with jealousy.

A few quick ones that don't have much reasoning behind them:

Kyler: German Shepard

Moon: red deer

Burt: pika

Mike Barnes: a large monkey of some sort. One of the scary ones

SORRY for how long this is thank you so much if you read to the end I love you <3 please let me know what u think I crave validation

little gift for those who read to the end <3 some tiny car salesmen

#type first #familiar au #ive spent so long thinking abt these theres so much brain power rotating these #i wrote out all the ones i could remember but im positive im missing some #the karate kid #tkk #the story that goes with the au is the exact same as canon theres just some lil animal guys in there too
