[scholastic-dragon]

I'm almost a month late to this but it doesn't matter cause I'm here now!! The All 4- 1 challenge - April Edition, and no not O'Neil I mean the month!

This is basically the scene from How I met your mother but with the turtles, but it's hilarious so I'm writing it anyway.

Leo x Fem!reader

Sharing isn't always Caring

You weren't sure what you walked in on.

On any given day it was a toss up: either the boys would be happily getting along, or at each other's throats.

Today, when you walked into the lair, arms full with bags of sandwiches for lunch, you heard very harsh voices.

"Hey! Lunch is here!" You called, kicking off your shoes and putting on your slippers.

Mikey and Donnie slinked out of Raphs room, awkward looks on their faces.

"Sssshhh!" Mikey whisper yelled at you. Both of them silently moving toward you.

"What happened? Did another fight break out?" You whisper, handing the bag to Mikey, looking up at Donnie.

"Not exactly, Raph stayed home last night from patrol cause he wasn't feeling well, but apparently-"

"Apparently, his girlfriend stayed the night! In his room!" Mikey cut in, digging through the bag for his sandwich. Donnie smacked him upside the head.

You gasped softly. If there was one rule Master Splinter had set over the last year, UT was there were absolutely no sleepovers in the same room with girlfriends. (He deemed he was too young to be a grandfather.)

You had spent the night several times but you or leo were forced to sleep in the living room.

"So, Leo flipped out?" You filled in, chewing on your lip.

Donnie and Mikey both made faces. Donnie sucking in his lips and Mikey mimicking a boom explosion.

"Leo and dad flipped out. Leo's in there right now ripping him a new asshole, in fact, its probably good you're here, maybe get him to stop yelling," Donnie sighed, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah, I'll go get him," weaving past them, you approach Raphs door. You could clearly hear Leo's angry-lecturing voice through the thick door.

Pushing the door open, you see Raph sitting on the end of this bed, looking at the floor with Leo pacing in front of him.

"It's just reckless! Not to mention, you bailed on the team! You can't do that, Raph!" Leo yelled.

"Hey," You say, knocking on the doorframe. "Lunch is here," your voice is soft, diffusing the argument and easing the tension.

Leo sighed. "Right, let's take a breather, have some food, then we'll talk later," He walked out of the room, sighing heavily once he crossed the threshold.

Raph looked up at you, nodding and smiling. A silent "Thank you" that you were used to.

Smiling and nodding, you turn around and head to the kitchen. The other three are sat at the dining table, devouring their sandwiches.

Leo smiled as you sat down, sliding a palte toward you.

Raph emerged a few minutes later, sitting down next to Mikey and eating.

Because you interrupted their argument, the air was a bit tense, but after asking Mikey what he thought of his newest video game, the tension lifted.

Donnie and Mikey spoke too fast to comprehend anything, but you laughed and nodded along anyway. Leo joined the conversation, having seen Mikey playing a few times in the living room.

Then Raph added his two cents, and suddenly all four brothers were laughing and bantering with each other like nothing had happened.

Once all the food was gone, Donnie and Mikey sprinted to the living room to play their new game, while Raph had dish duty.

You stopped just outside the doorway, wanting to give them space but also monitor just in case.

Leo walked up to the sink, handing Raph the dish. "I'm sorry I yelled, I didn't sleep well last night and just felt on edge."

Raph seemed shocked by the quick apology, but shook his head, taking the dish. "Yeah, I shouldn't have lied, but we hadn't seen each other for over a week and she had a real shit day,"

"It was either be a good brother or a good boyfriend," Leo filled in with a smile, crossing his arms and leaning up against the counter.

Raph gave a dry chuckle. "You got that right,"

"Yeah, I'm familiar with that,"

"Oh yeah, sure ya are," Raph sassed, putting soap on the dishcloth and scrubing away at some pots. "Mr. Honor Boy himself struggling to be a good boyfriend,"

"It's true! We had a fight just this past week!"

"Oh yeah? What about?"

Leo fought hard to stop from laughing, as did you. "I have a drawer at her apartment and she didn't like that I kept some ninja stars and throwing knives in there,"

Raph chuckled, rising off a pan and putting it on the drying rack. "How'd that end?"

"Well, we started to laugh because she realized that I kept weapons at her apartment but not my toothbrush,"

They both chuckled, then Raph squared his shoulders, looking over at his brother. "Yeah, you do,"

"Hmm?" Leo mumbled.

"You keep your toothbrush there," raph insisted.

"No, I don't, I keep it in the hall bath,"

Raph put the cloth down, turning to face his brother. "No, I keep my toothbrush in the hall bath,"

"Oh no," You mumble, putting your hand over your mouth to stop from laughing.

Mikey and Donnie approached the doorway, wanting to get some sodas for the game, stopping just behind you.

"What's going on?" Mikey asked, smiling at your redding face.

"Just listen," You choked out.

"Raph, what are you talking about?" Leo's eyes narrowed.

"You don't keep your toothbrush in the hall bath, Leo, I do,"

Leo's face fell. "What color is it?"

"Gray and green," they both went pale, shaking their heads.

"Oh my god," Mikey bit his fist to keep from laughing.

"Have we-" Leo looked ready to gag. "Have we been sharing a toothbrush?!"

Mikey and Donnie lost it, laughing uproariously, Donnie bent in half with tears in his eyes.

"Oh this is great!" Mikey yelled, clapping his hands. "I don't think this can get better,"

"Wait," You gasp, Leo and Raph glance at you. "I sometimes use that toothbrush,"

"Oh, God, so goes my girl!"

Mikey made a disgusted noise. "Ew! That means you guys have indirectly made out with each others girls!"

"I can't...can't deal with this today," Leo put his hands up, walking swiftly out of the room, slamming his bedroom door behind him.

From then on, Leo kept a blue toothbrush with a large "L" drawn on the side in your apartment.

Asmodean Crystals’ mere existence is the issue.

Just a small bit here, but I’ve see some try to give an explanation as to why Blitz doesn’t just have an Asmodean Crystal and instead went with the Grimoire. The thing is, even if one of these explanations are true, it doesn’t fix anything. The mere existence of these crystals is the issue. Let’s look here for a moment.

1. “The Crystals are tied to whoever is using them.”

All in all this is a reasonable explanation, hence why Blitz didn’t just mug the incubus for his and forced him to open the portal in the latest episode. But if that’s the case, it just raises further questions. Like why doesn’t Blitz just hire someone with a crystal and do it that way? Let’s be real for a minute folks, you replace Loona as the receptionist with some just random Hellborn with a crystal and what changes other than Loona not being a receptionist?(Just make her part of the Assassin team) Nothing, because we don’t really see her do her job, in fact you can literally just make an offhand comment about this because they hardly ever show I.M.P going through portals anyway in the episode, except for a few times, but you never explicitly need to show what actually opens said portal or who opens it.

Or why can’t Blitz just hire someone to get a crystal for him and deliver it? Because apparently Stolas is going to Asmodeus for one, even though I don’t see why Asmodeus would want to give him one in the first place, considering he has his own means to get to Earth.

So then if it only ties to the User who first uses said Crystal, then all Blitz has to do is get someone who knows how to get one and boom. 

Also it’s logical for these random crystals to be tied to a user, but not an all powerful grimoire that anyone can use? Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but ok.

2. “The Crystals are hard to get.”

Are they really though? Consider for a moment that random back alley incubus had a Crystal and I doubt this person is anyone of importance to actually need one....this suggests that they wouldn’t be hard to obtain. Now for Blitz? It might be considering Fizzarolli, who more than likely told Asmodeus about what happened between them and thus, he wouldn’t get one. (Which also questions, why again would Asmodeus give Stolas one, given Stolas is seeing Blitz.)

But this just goes back to the 1st point, why Blitz can’t just hire someone or have someone get one for him? 

Also Barbie Wire, an imp out of rehab has one. Now sure you could say that perhaps she has a better relationship with Fizzarolli(considering all 3 of them grew up in the circus). But between 3 imps(Blitz, Moxxie n Millie) and a hellhound(Loona), they wouldn’t be able to figure out a way to get one in some form or fashion?

Even moreso folks, wouldn’t it be more interesting to see the first couple of Episodes of S1, in HOW I.M.P got the ball rolling? You could make these first few episodes in showing how these lowly imps and a hellhound, get access to this Crystal that enables them to run a successful company. This also would help with establishing worldbuilding and so forth. But no, instead it’s just....a sex deal.

Edit: Oh and lookiee here, at the end of the episode of Oops, Fizz says that Blitz has “earned a crystal” thanks to reconnecting/saving his life. Sure....yeah, so guess it’s not so hard if all Blitz had to do was reconnect with Fizzarolli. Stolas is a literally pointless character, if all Blitz had to do was reconnect with Fizz...which makes for a far better narrative!

Edit: Another thing, why is Stolas being the one to give Blitz the Crystal? Can’t Fizz or Ozzie just...you know, mail it to I.M.P.? Call up Blitz for it since they have his phone number? Or they can just send one of Ozzie’s servants to I.M.P, or Moxxie or Millie or Loona goes and gets it? Stolas is a useless character at this point, only being shoehorned in to do stuff, but he’s not needed for.

Conclusion

So you see the issue here. There isn’t any real explanation(not just these ones either, I just chose 2 randomly) to just allow these Crystals mere presence to NOT affect the story. The mere existence of them at all, is the issue here, especially when you could write something better as far as both worldbuilding and character building this way.

Yoshitoshi Abe Lain Illustrations - ab# Rebuild An Omnipresence In The Wired

So, for the uninitiated, this is essentially the Serial Experiments Lain art book. Of course, there's more to it as it's also Yoshitoshi Abe's art book, but there's details of the world and concept of Lain, and even stuff in regards to the JP only PlayStation game for the series.

Anyways, what I'm incredibly excited over is the fact that this is not only the limited edition hardcover version, but that it's also the English version. Yeah, this got printed in English once upon a time. I'll explain the history at the end, first some examples of the contents (which are incredibly cool).

The front/initial pages of the artbook have these really cool translucent pages featuring Lain on them that mesh with a background page behind it and create a really interesting effect when you first open up the book.

Equally as interesting is that the majority of the color illustrations in the book have their black and white sketches/drafts alongside them. It really gives you an idea of the level of detail and quality of the illustrations throughout.

And of course, it's not just pure illustrations that are in this book, there's more. There's an entire full color comic/short manga in here as well, and is fully translated of course in the English version.

It's not anything that's really out of this world, but it's very interesting and super cool to have in English.

There's really a lot of dialogue/commentary in this art book that makes having the English version that much cooler really. There's an entire page covering technology like the Psyche chip and there's even a short essay/prose towards the middle of the book too.

And of course, to polish it off there's a lot of interesting concept art pieces too. It's really great seeing the how broad the look is into Abe's style and Serial Experiments Lain in general.

Now of course, the backstory. English manga publishing has some very dark days at the start of the 21st century. The amount of independent and small scale publishers was massive, and a great many went out of business before they could be picked up by a larger company. This results in a massive amount of lost manga and other content floating in the abyss that is the industry's early days. Alongside this, in a booming digital market many publishers are hidden in the cracks of the larger companies. Digital Manga represents a very odd middle ground between these two.

Digital Manga used to print books, such as this art book they published in 2006. However, since 2011 they have had to resort to Kickstarter campaigns to publish any physical media, and their most recent campaign seems to have been in 2015. Since then, Digital Manga has coalesced and assimilated with several other online and physical publishers to produce some rather obscure lines of physical and digital media. It's quite an odd story to try and explain because of how many pieces there are to it, but essentially in one way or another, Digital Manga has survived while shedding the vast majority of what it once published, leading to books like this one to be incredibly rare. So you can imagine how excited I was when I found it for under 100CAD, when even the JP versions are selling for closer to 300.

Also, a quick aside. This art book is technically a remaster/re-release of the original Serial Experiments Lain art book. The first, simply titled Serial Experiments Lain - An Omnipresence in the Wired, was release in 1999, while this art book was released in 2005 in Japan and 06 in North America. However, these two books are not the exact same. The layouts of pages are different for one, such as the difference between the two below. And even then, the content of the pages themselves can differ and change between the two. There are pages and illustrations that don't exist in the original that do in the remaster, and vice versa. So diehard fans (like myself) may want to pursue the original as well.

(Left is remaster, Right is original)

So yes, this English hardcover version is painfully uncommon on the internet, let alone at reasonable prices, so I'm incredibly happy to own it. The detail and information in the book is so awe inspiring, and actually owning it seems like a dream still because of how expensive Lain stuff is on the internet.

[sibillascribbles08]

Okay ramble that will probably not get anywhere but I will put it here anyway because I saw yet another post about people struggling to get any writing done. And someone in the comments made a good point. You write/draw so much more as a kid because you're less practiced and ergo less worried about the imperfections that may arise from just gunning it.

And this is true! And this is why I want to tell you if you are struggling to write much, learn to write like a kid again.

You know how with a lot of art you see processes and it always starts with really shitty thumbnails that have silly faces or just blobs of color? Then you have an actual sketch (during which the artist likely moves a lot of shit around on a digital canvas) and then possibly the inking phase or just painting which is more blobs that slowly get sharper and sharper the more the images is rendered.

Yeah uh, do that with writing. Going under the cut because long

Writing as a process is something that is unique to an individual, just like there's 800 ways to slap paint on a canvas. If you look at guide books for writing and none of it is sticking it's not cause you're a failure that technique is just not gelling for you.

And as such I can only speak from MY experience with it but like, here's how I generally stay on top of projects

A) Sketch phase! It's outline time baby! "Ughh but outlines suck" listen I know school made the outline phase of an essay the worst fucking thing ever but hear me out on this. Sure some people CAN write by the seat of their pants but in terms of long projects this does not work out for me. I'm inevitably gonna hit a point where idk where to go from there and it's so hard to map all that out in long form

Listen, outlines are not there to be formal. They're not even there to be fancy. This is time to get down the bare bones and if you have to make it only a paragraph long and then extend that paragraph into multiple then DO it.

Like hell, NONE of my outlines are formatted the same! Some are a paragraph per chapter. Others are just endless bullet points that I split up later. I'm sure in one book due to all the plotlines I'm just going to have a storyline for each character laid out in columns so I can draw lines between them. Whatever works.

And again, do not have to be formal, like here is a legit line in one of my outlines

As for the ruined building… Hypno will cover the damages……….. Right? : )

Go crazy.

B) Now that you have your baselines start working on the actual story. Do you like writing shit out of order? Do it, because with an outline you still have your baselines to reference for any important details you don't wanna forget "Remember [character] is supposed to get a scar in chapter five!" Or write shit in order, and every time you hit a lull consult those baselines to say "oh yeah that's where this chapter was going"

And hey, keep writing it like a kid if that's what it takes to get this crap down. Hit a fight scene you don't wanna write? Slap down some brackets. [Insert a fight scene here where [character] gets his head smashed in so he ends up with this concussion later like a dumbass]. Boom, done, worry about it later.

Worried the dialogue isn't flowing well? Slap open another document or grab some paper and write it out in a play format to keep it moving. Add in all the beats, expressions, and details after.

Not sure if this detail you're putting in is historically accurate? Leave an easy to search symbol in the doc so you can go back to it to research later.

Write the sappy shit. Write with poor grammar (but still like, comprehensible you know what I mean). Slip in adverbs to swap out with strong verbs later. Use a run on sentence.

"But it's gonna sound bad" Who cares who tf cares that's what editing is for ! You go back and refine that shit and clean up sentences and add in all the extra research and pull out the repetitive words.

You gotta quit treating writing like you're supposed to just swing your brush on the canvas and suddenly you have some beautiful scenery. There's layers. There's blobs that turn into refined shapes. There's blending and shading. There's fine lines and thick lines. And sometimes there's mistakes that you have to wait until it dries to go back over it again.

It is a process! Let yourself have FUN with the process.

Okay rant over.

#scribs speaks #I will never tell people how they should write #but so many times when I talk to fellow writers who say they haven't touched their WIP in ages #9/10 I ask if they have an outline and they say no #sir you are trying to write a fic that could be like 20 chapters #give yourself some sketch layers

[mndvx]

Sorry if you’ve answered this question before, but how do you make your gifs?

With an outdated version of photoshop and a lot of patience 😤 my messy process under the cut

let's say i have this movie downloaded in .mp4 i open it in windows movie maker - or any other software that lets you do quick and easy edits and whatnot but me i use wmm even tho it's obsolete i knoooow leave me alone - cut the scene i want to gif out and save it into this tiny little file

then i open photoshop and go into import > video frames into layers (i may be a little bit off in how things are called on PS in english, but they should be in the same places anyway)

this little popup will open

since my file is exclusively the thing i want to gif i don't need to bother with the little arrow-ish things underneath the video player, they're there if you need to shorten your thing or like cut into it.

this bit here needs to be checked like this, it'll set up the gif animation or whatever. so yeah then click Ok

bim bam boom photoshop will open like this

big scary image with many tiny scary images, so first of all what i do is get on the cropping tool

this will show up in the toolbar up top

and in there you set the dimensions of the gif, 1 gif in a gifset that takes up the whole post has to be 540px wide for 2 gif next to each other it's 268px wide and i can't remember 3 by 3 but i never do that so whatever who cares.

once you've set up the dimensions you want, you got this grid thing to move around and set however you want it to be

and then you wait as it painstakingly takes its time to do it

boom! it's done!

so that's your gif raw and unprepared without any filters or whatever, no length, no speed, nothing!

down there you've got the frames of the gif, depending how long is it'll be either a lot or very very short, in this case it's 277 frames, so already you know it's not gonna be just one gif but probably two or three - which i knew btw that's on purpose!!

first thing i do when all the cropping and setting up is done is scroll all the way through the frames to see if there's a bit that won't make it into the gif, and here, there is

these last four frames show a different bit of the scene because i cut shit very messily and don't check before opening photoshop but you know! trust the process! so make sure to select the unwanted bunch and delete them

so now hurray the gif is 273 frames and it's only the one scene i want

and now the fun not fun starts!

to the right you got these, the layers

so you gotta scroll all the way up and NOT forget to click on the very last layer before you start playing around with filters and all that

this little guy right here is my bestien he's the only one i use when editing gifs, fuck everybody else on that row. when making gifs i mostly just use a combination of those three things, brightness/contrast, vibrancy and photo filters

so anyway, let's fool around with those little things and make a gif (i realize now the scene is very dark and it will look very ugly but never mind! we carry on) so there a bunch of random settings added - you gotta make sure they are all the way on top of everything or else they just won't appear on every single frame

what i do then is probably very stupid and there's probably a better way to do it, but MY PROCESS, so i divide the amount of frames i've got by the number of gifs i want to make in a set, so 273/3 that's 91 (thank you google), so we look back down at the frames

and then scroll aaaaaalllll the way back to frame 91 (if you hold shift and use the wheel it'll be much faster) and while still holding shift pressed down click on frame 92

that will select every frame from the last to that and we delete that shit

so now we only have 91 frames and that's one gif. so let's save it! but wait, no you forgot to do something! see the 0.03s? that's the gif speed or whatever, idk how it works but 0.03s is too fast, me i usually use 0.05s so what you do next is select every one of those frames you've got left and click the little pointing down arrow, that'll open that

click Other... and then set it as the speed you want

ok so your gif is at the correct speed NOW you can save it so it's file > export > save for web

this new popup will appear

currently as of 2024 gifs can't be bigger than 10Mb/Mo, this one is 4mo

so we're good we're fine. so then you just click save, name the file whatever you want and VOILAAAA, a djeef!

(and then undo the delete and repeat everything for the other two gifs you'd want to make in that set)

p. 58 Fuse's Broadcast Notes Report 2 & Repeat 2

To recap, these are instructions for the live broadcast of "Ulala's Swingin' Report Show" prepared by the director, Fuse. Unlike the "live" instructions given by Fuse and the operator Noize during the broadcasts, these are detailed explanations of the secret input locations. Modifications made for the rerun broadcasts for "Ulala's Swingin' Report Show" (reruns have unique features from the first airing) are also included. Note, the timing and locations of the secret inputs are exactly the same between the main (Lap 1) and rerun broadcasts (Lap 2).

The Hidden Inputs

[1-2] Mexican Flyer Part 2 This report kicks off with "Mexican Flyer,” isn't that right Ulala? Remember! Just as before, there’s two secret inputs on the jingle’s booming brass “Jan! Jan! Jaaan!” They're right on the “Jan! Jaaan!” It may catch you off guard since it’s immediately after the "Now Roboading" screen. Guess I’ll just have to sing it, too~!

[3] After You Rescue the Primary Schoolers Yeah, it’s this pattern again, sorry. But even you can’t resist jumping and shouting "chaalaa chaalaa  yahoo!" to the beat, right? Press that button at the moment all the kids cheer "yahoo!" So don’t forget about that "yahoo!" when you free those kids from their dance fever.

[4] After You Rescue Mr. Nervous Getting tired of this yet? At least this pattern is easy to time. Anyway, this one's right after rescuing Mr. Nervous~… As soon as Shadow, Rhythm Rouges Ground Leader, turns his head, that's when the teacher’s rescue party starts, so be prepared! Keep an ear out for the "ya ho!"

[5] When Leaving the Exhibition Tower Our channel’s signing off “pikoon,” that pattern from before, it’s used here, too. Try to make it a reflex. The input is a short time after you “chu” to your X button beams on my cue. So, the primary schoolers will say “ya ho,” you’ll say“chu, chu, chu,” then you'll sign off, go it. This is the third time you've done this, right?

[6] When Pudding Appears When Pudding appears on stage, she says her signature "Good evening, everybody!" followed by "It's me, Pudding!" got it? Press a button at the "it’s." When the camera switches, right before the "it’s" part, that's when you press it! Right there, go, go, go!

[7] When You Rescue the Space Bird Mistress After the guitar battle, once you rescued the Space Bird Mistress (hopefully…), you’ll get the pleasure of hearing the Mistress’s singing while the camera shifts. The "whoo!" right after is the input spot. It’s just like the “yay!”s before it.

[8] When Leaving Fountain Square After climbing to the top of Fountain Square and posing left, right, up, you’ll hear the Stay Tuned “pikoon” again… right at the end as usual. The bird songs and dog choir drown it out a bit. If you  space out while saying “stay," you might be out of tune when it's time to press that button.

[9] When You Enter the Greenhouse "It's here, right at the start?" is what you're thinking, right? The trick to it is pretty simple. Just go "don, don, don, don," to the music right when you enter the greenhouse. Remember, "don, don, don, don" and then press a button for the secret input.  

The input is about two seconds after you say “look!” The pause feels like it goes on forever, it’s easy to whiff it~.

[10] When Pon Piriri is Defeated This input is after Pon Piriri falls, about three seconds after we say “finish him off,” when the stars become the ratings (it'll be at 100% if you get this)! Or wait for the full “Finish him off! Chu! Ding-dong!” then wait two seconds. You need to spot on, it's real tricky stuff.

If you don’t wanna keep an ear out for “swishing” stars, you can count three beats from when you hear the electrical cracks!

p. 60 Rebroadcast (2nd Lap) Choreography Report 2 & Repeat 2

Listen up Ulala, commands aren't the only things changed from the original broadcast. There's new people being forced to boogie and a new reporter on the scene. Pay attention while reporting to take in and appreciate these changes.

Rescuing New Companions Report 2 was hosted in Space Park. Rescuing the space primary schoolers; rescuing their teacher; guitar dueling with Pudding; rescuing the Space Bird Mistress; shooting down seedpods; squirming around while tangled up in the ivy; then finally waltzing when the plant blossomed… Phew, there was a lot to cover there!

Of course, the rerun follows the same path, the choreography only differentiates once you hit the Greenhouse. So don't worry about any changes in the commands until your showdown with Pon Piriri. Instead, the main attraction here is the cast changes. For instance, if you perfect Exhibition Hall A (see pages 42 and 43), you'll be able to rescue Space Primary Schooler Blue (profile #091) instead of Space Primary Schooler Green. But, the changes in Fountain Square are far more drastic. You know the guitar duel? Instead of Pudding, our rival guitarist is replaced by a look-alike, introduced with an "It's me, Padding!" She looks so much like Pudding with that young face of hers, like she could be her clone, but you'll be surprised to hear that Padding is a master comedian who just turned 48 this year! Ulala, you are surprised, right…? Well, for a comedian her age, she's really committed to the bit, mini skirt and all. Such a youthful voice, too, and she dances unlike any 48-year-old's I’ve seen, even I didn't realize at first… Still, it would've been nice if Space Cheerleader Hitomi was the stand-in. Come on, Producer! By the by, I wonder why Channel 42 is supporting a freelance comedian who won Channel 5's 42nd Entertainment Awards? Maybe it was pure chance? Unless they turned their backs on Pudding. After all, her bodyguards were already prepared for Padding (lol).

There's way more seedpods in the rerun, but I’m sure you noticed~. Maybe you'll find them easier to time like this.

p. 61

This time around, there isn’t a Space Birdman in sight. Instead, you rescue some Space Dogs! Not sure why the Space Birdmen couldn’t pose as Space Dogmen, they like animals after all (guess it’s a preference). Well, with no birds to watch, there’s not much we can do to get them to come back (lol). When I first saw them, I was so surprised that I could only think, "It's a dog! It's really a dog!" But it’s fine that they showed up. I like them and they're so, so cute~. Well, if you're up to it, help out those little space puppies!

Padding showing off a little faaan service! Not sure how to feel about this. It'd be better if it was Pudding.

Look, it's a dog, isn't it? It's really a dog. Wish I could see 102 of these pups… I guess the birdies didn't want to be in the reruns.

[Translator’s note: We're so sorry for Fuse’s behavior. He gets worse.]

[pharawee]

I love Chains of Heart. I really, really do. I just wish they'd had more time or money or idk to have better script editing. This series could be so much better with a tighter script.

This week especially could have been incredible without all the repetition (I get why they did it and I get that flashbacks and circular storytelling are a staple of Asian drama but imo it went way over the top and deprived us of scenes and reactions that could have shown us more of the actual fallout of everything that's been going on.

Slightly off-topic but I love the sfx make-up here. The blues and greens of the fresh bruises and the texture of the scraped skin are so well done (lmao I'm not being creepy, I swear, I used to do cosplay and I love my bruise-wheel). And the bruises actually change between scenes too, showing the passing of time (or maybe Lue has supernatural healing now, who knows).

But yeah, this is what I was talking about. I wish we'd actually seen this conversation happen (rather than just the beginning of it) instead of more flashbacks. And yes, it's not strictly necessary for the narrative. It's just that I want to see more of Hin/Marc Pahun and I was so curious about his reaction once he'd figured it all out.

Same with these two. They wasted a whole scene on Deedee waking up and deciding to go for a hearty breakfast. Instead, he could have called Phayu to make the connection between them clearer. This one short slip-up on Deedee's part is the only hint that he's the one Phayu sent to watch over Ken.

Also, this bit with Nott. I don't know if it's because they're planning a spin-off with Nott and Guy (I'm all for it!) but I don't think anyone who hasn't read the novel(s) will necessarily realise that Nott has genuine psychic powers and that this is a perfectly reasonable thing to happen in the author's book universe.

(It could have been even more confusing, though. There's a bit in the novel where another one of Phayu's friends (it's ok, he has his own novel too) conjures up Peter Lue's ghost because apparently he's hanging around and is understandably worried about why someone stole his whole life.)

This to me was the strongest moment in the whole episode (sorry Ken, I'll get to you in a bit). I was waiting for Hin to figure things out and confront Din about it - even more so since I realised that Hin is actually the oldest sibling (never mind that Marc Pahun is over ten years younger than Boom Raweewit - but I don't even mind since Hin is described as incredibly pretty in the novel lmao. Plus, Din is wearing the face of a presumably older man).

I love the way he chose to confront him via the phone call to make the evidence against Din/Lue even more damning. And I love Hin's (extremely justified) anger, and the way he broke down Din's walls (which must have been something Din was yearning for anyway).

So Lue has an evidence board. Good for him. I half-expected his lair to be filled with photographs and sketches of Ken but apparently he's way more focussed than that (but it would have been super creppy and a nice comparison to Ken's walk-in photoalbums).

Lue/Din also has a whole superhero closet and wtf are you even going to use these weapons for? What, are you going to duel Ingpha with a bat'leth (also do I spot Gun/Fin's garrote)?

But I find this bit even more interesting. Ken is doing something to Lue's phone. Maybe he'll use it to track him down next week? Because it seems like Din/Lue is already planning to leave again. He#s got to see this through, after all.

And then there it is. The big confrontation. Only, I was a bit confused at first until I realised that this is all Ken can do to give in. And at this point there's really no reason to talk about the past anymore. It can't undo the hurt and the pain. It can only destroy what could be a new beginning. There's always going to be an unbridgeable gap between who Din was then and who Lue is now. So Ken finally grants Din/Lue his wish:

And it works, in a way.

Imagine how dizzying and disorienting it must be when your heart feels one person and your mind sees another. But eventually...

I love how this scene is all passion and (re)discovery and as such it mirrored Din and Ken's relationship. But it's also far more gentle and loving and new for them.

And remember when all Din/Lue dreamed about was this:

Well...

It's ok that they forgot the scars. I don't even mind. 😭

Which brings me to Inspector Don aka Poppy my beloved:

And despite the preview for next week I'm still convinced he's a good guy. What other reason is there for him to keep all of this to himself? Plus, he seemed concerned rather than angry (or evil lmao).

So I'm guessing he's actually doing a much, much better (and legal) job of bringing Ingpha down. Negl I'd love for him to save the day, close his case and show that Din's whole quest for vengeance was completely pointless.

Because honestly, was it all really worth it - even if Chief Ingpha is going down in the end?

#jane watches stuff #chains of heart #chains of heart the series #in which i'm nursing a headache so randomness is all i can manage lmao #i haven't even watched love syndrome yet #and i haven't watched bed friend since last week oops #i'm making chains of heart my only personality trait

Random Objects In My House Fight Because I Said So: PART TWO!!!!

HIIIII INTERNET!!!!! I have come back with yet ANOTHER tournament bracket but it's with random Objects... From MY FRIENDS and my HOUSE.

...AGAIN!!!!!

(cool, huh?)

Anyways, if you don't know how this is going to work, it's the same as last time but I'll briefly explain it:

I post the bracket/results from the left and right sides for each round (like in this post here) and I will (usually) add the polls for it the day after or sometime else.

I will be hosting this tournament on the Empty Mind Amino and the Tumblr (which you are on!) and Twitter (@/r4nd0mobject) accounts I have made for this event. (So make sure to check em out, lol-- -)

The results for each poll will be added up from all sides, whichever object has the higher result in total will be the winner of that round.

Without further ado, here is the official bracket for part 2 of the ROIMHFBISS tournament!!!!

On the left, we have (from top to bottom):

Transgender clown son (belongs to Valentine)

Inkling Boy figurine (belongs to Soupy)

autism (belongs to Watermelon)

Daffy Duck Looney Tunes keychain (belongs to radicalust on Discord)

Professor Venomous OKKO cutout (belongs to Spookii)

Hollyberry Warrior Cats plushie (belongs to Soupy)

"Boy Sauce" (DEFINITELY NOT THE LAST GUY) (belongs to NOT ME)

alien cody cardboard cutout (belongs to Watermelon)

And on the right side, we have:

Tealish Marble

Flowery Light Switch

Dull-Sharp Glass Photo Cube

Cool Feathery Dancer Mask (that I got from Arizona)

Mouse Doll with Ointment Cream

Green (and oddly sticky) Flashlight that doesn't work anymore

Dusty Green Gamer Sunglasses

Mysterious and Beautiful Doll (passed down by my MOTHER *vine boom sfx*)

Also some propaganda was submitted for Watermelon's objects, so I'll post that here as well:

"uhm its an awesome handsculpted masterpiece plus if u dont vote it u hate autistic people smhh"

-For Yippee Creature Statue/autism

"uhhm alien cody is super awesome like hes literally OUT OF IF THIS WORLD . plus i soent all that time cutting him out of the carboard and editing the spirte to print like blood sweat and tears was put into this"

-for alien cody cardboard cutout

ANYWHOM.

Since I delayed posting this post onto here and the Twitter account for a day, the polls will hopefully go up tomorrow (mainly because school has been STRESSING ME OUT UGH (albeit I caused it, but STILL-- -))

SO yeah. Be on the look out!!! Or else your house will uh. Explode or whatever

ok that's pretty much all from me today, BYE-- - *explodes once again*

HEAR ME OUT i keep thinking about (heavy sv spoilers check readmore)

ok so like. hear me out. what if. AI Arven.

so the prof is off makin themself an assistant already. boom, knowledge programming stuff added. time to add the voice bank and (ding) its a voicemail from arven! and its like Please mail me back and the prof is like Hooooly shit. and Boom ai arven.

prof dies around 1 year before sv in this au so its like. the arven is 1 year younger than current arven due to no updates anymore

so getting into contact with director clavell probably uses email. no call. sends fabricated identification stuff as proof, sends over research findings etc to not be sussed out but then the mc comes in with the 'raidon and hes like email Hey. Put me through to that kid. I need to discuss something. Let's call. and the mc is like damn. prof cant even video call!

and its like this throughout the game. except ai arven is probably less cryptic abt it. blah blah same or greater knowledge than the prof but arven personality. well. as much personality that can be extrapolated from voicemails and emails and texts

but come the 5th titan battle and ur with og arven and the call comes and is like. we need to talk. come to area zero. still no camera. arven is like Wtf what Voice. i need to find out. are you coming little buddy. yea.

THENN TOWARDS THE END AT THE FAREWELL ai arven wouldnt want to go to either the past or the future so i have 3 ideas.

and then bla bla area zero trip mostly the same until boom open the zero lab and the paradox pokemon out but out comes the.. prof??? NO TIME TO TALK. STOP THE POKEMON. then the rest plays same except the whole gang is present and arven is like What the fuck wheres professor (alias here) and ai arven is like Nawh thats me sorry buddy. anyways we need to destroy this time machine.

suck it up and go time travel idiot. for the good of paldea

explode himself. goodbye. sayonara.

actually fuck this (explodes the time machine. there is now a crater in the crater.) ok haha im chill now lets go (the group walks out with an extra arven in tow)

yeah thats it

edit: as of rn his alias is "olive" but may be subject to change. tagging ai arven shit under "assistant professor olive" like its his full name LMFAOO

Valentines Interview

Hellboys edition

Today we have a special interview event! It’s Valentines Day and there was a vote amongst the council for it to be the HellBoys! (The council is me and Geez) Anyways! Enjoy this! @aller-geez Owns Kanai and Draeko!

“Alright Boys, Question 1 and feel free for any of you to answer this one….What is the best Valentines gift to give your partner?”

Oh I kno-…

Drugs 😎

Al…VALENTINES Day gift 😒

Yeah, I know, 😏 Drugs!

I-…No don’t listen to him, 🙃 it’s-…

Hey! The fuck? 😠 why not listen to me? 😤 That’s MY answer, 🙄 ok, Drugs. Boom.😎 Especially, the kind that make you wanna touch gents. 👉🏻

🙄 For ME it’s flowers and Chocolate, 🥰 and getting Nai a new fish decoration for his tanks!

Oh yes, I do quite enjoy the trinkets the pet brings home on this specific day every year. Always very thoughtful additions to the colony. 🙂

“Quite the colorful array of answers, all correct in their own ways boys, remember, these answers are simply opinions. There’s no right or wrong,”

You did just specify that all the answers were correct, so that means there can be room for an incorrect answer. Yes?

Kanai…No…that’s not…*clears throat* Moving on…

Question 2: What are you favorite places to be together?

I know Nai’s answer for this…pffft…😏

Bet I know yours too 👀

Yeah, smartass? 😏

Yeah, the bedroom. 🙃

I-…🤔 you right 😏

The Aquarium 🙂

Knew it 😏

Least it’s a real answer! I enjoy the Aquarium with you as well, Nai, 🥰 that and night picnics! I love looking at the stars with them at my side 🌌

Ewyuck…🤢 definitely bedroom, sandwiched between the two of them. 🤤 Ooo when they’re both having one of those sneezing fits too. Heaven. 😩

Real. Alright then, Next question shall we?

Question 3: Is there a goal any of you need to accomplish that could use the help of your partner(s) this Valentines?

Yeah, I’ve been RACKING my brain to try and get this asshole who lives next to us, his dog to stop fucking barking at EVERYTHING 🤬 but I’m starting to think I’ll need Drae or Nai to distract him so I can sneak in the backyard, 👀 nab the dog, bring him inside our place 😈 and fucking eat that little bastard. 😈

Im not helping with that! 😡 It’s not the poor dog’s fault! What’s wrong with you?! 😤

When do you need assistance, Donnie? 🫡 I want to make sure I catch Shark Week on our magic box. 😐

Hm, tonight around 9:30? 🤔

NO! 😤

Why not?! 😤

It’s not moral, nice or appropriate! 😤

Your mother 😤

Alistar, I swear…don’t you harm that poor dog. 😤😤

*Alistar and Kanai share a look between each other*

Oooohkay perhaps I shouldn’t have asked that one 😬 Next…question

Question 4: Would you rather get a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day or flowers?

Okay wait I have a real answer for this 🫢

You do? 😯

Yes I’m serious…😏

Okay, I’m interested to see where this goes 🫣

Butthole molded chocolates

Yup. 😐 there it is

HEAR ME OUT 😩

I’m listening 👂🏻

Thank you, Nai, 😌 this is why you’re my best friend🫶🏻….but I saw them on my phone and I really would like a box from both of you. 😐

I am uncertain how to achieve, but will give it my best efforts, Donnie. 🫡

Ppreciate you, pal. 🫡

You two are unbelievable. 🙃

Pretty solid answer though Alistar, pretty solid.

Question 5: Last Question; How would you describe the love you all share this Valentines? 

Unique….I cherish the relationship I have with each member of our unity differently, but am very grateful to have them. Truthfully

Kanai 🥺 that is the sweetest thing I think you’ve ever said about love….

W-wait whoa love? Who said love! You all do realize who I am right? 🙃

Passionate! I’d describe it as passionate!

Hello? Is this thing on? *taps an imaginary mic* Again, Love? What are we talkin’ bout here is that some sort of unit of measurement? 🤨

No Donnie, 😐 it’s the one earthly emotion I’ve noticed you avoid the most next to compassion. 🤔

You’re allowed to study the planet, and other people Nai, but you’re not allowed to study me. 😒

I do believe that you lack a choice in the subject 🧐

So help me….😤

And that’s all we have time for today everyone! Hope you all had a lovely Valentines and felt as loved and important as you all are! 🥰🫶🏻

(Oh brother)

*elbows Alistar* 😒….Til next time! 🥳

Shipwrecks and Seaweed

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

It's my birthday today so I figured I'd reveal this lil' self-indulgent project of mine! I don't have it ALL planned out so I don't know how long this will go (the second part is almost all sketched out), but it's been so much fun to do anyways. More Mermaid AU! yay! and yeah, it will absolutely feature Jalim down the line. ❤

Clarice's patterns and tail are based on the Royal Gramma. They are pretty chill fish, can swim super quick, and have even been known to jump out of tanks on occasion. It has distinct lines on its eyes, so I converted it to eyeliner.

Edit: I realize my handwriting is ✨Very Bad✨ and could be hard to read, so I'll be putting in the script on these posts. You can read it below!

Jason: Clarice, buddy, at this pace there ain't gonna be shit at that shipwreck. You ready yet?

Clarice: Give me two seconds, drama queen. Jeez  

"two seconds" later~

Clarice comes out, wearing a seaweed top and choker 

Clarice: BOOM! Check out the new duds! 

Jason: Not bad. Better than that trash bag top 

Clarice: Hey man, at least it lasts!

Clarice: Not my fault sand dollars are fragile as hell. 

J: Wait, that's seaweed. The nearest seaweed field is like…miles from here.

C: Rach knows a guy who lives out there. He needed someone to babysit his kid. 

J: YOU? Babysitting? 

C: fuck you, I’m great with kids. Anyways, in exchange, he made me this! 

Clarice gets in close 

C: which means he’s good with his HANDS Jason 

Jason blushes and shoves her 

J: Let’s get to that wreck already. There’s probably fuck-all there now. 

Clarice is giggling but follows after

C: Dibs on the booze!

#house of ashes #mermaid au #clarice stokes #jason kolchek #drawing jason without a hat still unnerves me #I feel like I draw him differently every time #hope y'all are okay with more mermaid stuff!! #sometimes feels silly drawing it but I get a lot of joy out of it

[4beomy]

idk if anyone even enjoys my work enough for this sorta ...update? lol but just in case..

im writing something completely new right now T-T im gonna finish with Totally Not Endgame probably by the end of this month..heh.. (so much world building and character development its a big project) and ill update get over him! a week from now!! (i think. hopefully)

but anyways, it was in the spur of the moment and i got super super inspired and made a roommate!au oneshot for yeonjun. yes, yes im writing for another member that is not beomgyu lmao. i was abt to make it a beomgyu oneshot since i thought the personality fit him but then...idk cute whipped yeonjun is something i've been looking for on here FOR SO LONG. so i was like, why not make one myself! so i made it. and i got carried away with it.. but whatever, i think its genuinely my best work so far T-T (out of all my drafts)

heres the synopsis if anyone sees this and is curious ^^

choosing to live with a complete stranger was...not the smartest thing you've chosen to do. but it's okay! it can't be too bad. well, except it is. it is bad. especially when you're kept awake with music blaring through the walls of your room. just what's up with your roommate?! (this can be changed later on) genre: fluff, crack, enemies to lovers (kinda) word count: IDK BCS IM NOT DONE YET T-T w my layout in mind, i think this will probably be really...really long.

if anyone wants to be in the taglist (though im not planning on making one lol but just in case <3), sending an ask would be great </3 but anywho this is just an update to show that im working on something hehe

edit: ok. what if i include smut. and a fwb relationship. im contemplating rn. bcs like this is the idea i have rn, when they get over the enemies arc (which wont be that important honestly) and become friends, they get like super close, super intimate bcs both oc and yeonjun like skinship then boom, one day, they're both super drunk and !! yeah. then they have this whole thing abt whether or not it matters, and they both decide nope it doesnt. but but but, it happens again, and its like the inevitable atp. so they decide on having sex casually cuz they realize they both enjoy it, sowhat!! and yk how those go, someones gonna catch feelings eventually but im thinking i wanna make them as oblivious as possible and also include one jealousy driven sex where yj just lets out his feelings ??? idk.

the issue is, im not the best smut writer LMAO and its hard for me to convey sexual tension UGHHH IDK ANYMORE THIS IS BASICALLY JUST A RANT

honestly, id prefer to make it just fluff and some angst ig because its comfortable and easy for me. but then theres this thing with long fluff fics getting barely any traction so im kinda demotivated in that aepsct of it all T-T and i do know theres some kinda demand for long smut fics with plot, so in terms of growing this blog thatd probably be the best option.. idk if someone can give me their preference and ill just base it all on that lmao

WIPs

Since I’m planning on just going wild on my Steve Henderson AU for the foreseeable future and I’m doing a lot of jumping around in it, I figured i’d list different chapters I’m working on as the wips (I also just really wanted to share chapter titles early because i put a lot of effort into making these meme references relevant and i think theyre funny) So in no particular order but definitely chronological because this is just chapters 3-6.5:

1. Get yo fucking dog, bitch (It don’t bite) (YES IT DO)

2. What the fuck kinda dog is that? (Bitch an interdimensional dog)

3. “Lab Work Ahead?” Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does

4. There’s one thing worse than a demodog (Boom) A Billy Hargrove (Actually yes)

5. ✨Bonus Chapter (Dustin pov): Can we go to the tunnels (*slamming*) Can we please go to the tunnels

Snippet

this ones from chapter 3 aka Get Yo Fucking Dog, Bitch

They pulled up to Steve’s again, this time into Steve’s garage connected to the front of the house. Steve hopped out, running over to unlock the door and crack it open. Dustin was still in his seat, looking around the room. Impressed with the house: a reaction that King Steve usually found validating but now made Just Steve uneasy.

Steve went over and knocked on his window before crossing back to the other side and opening the backseat door. Dustin turned around.

“You have your own garage?”

He nodded, putting two bags in one arm and grabbing a third.

“C’mon, are we in a rush or not?” he joked. Dustin climbed out, still distracted.

Steve pushed through the door, catching it with his foot before it could bump into the wall and waited for Dustin who was balancing three bags of his own.

They turned the corner and he set the bags on the kitchen island, Dustin still absently taking everything in. It took a few trips, but eventually they got all the meat on the counter, leaving the pasta and dry groceries in the car to save time.

“Alright, you start unloading stuff and I’ll find us some buckets or something.” he said, setting the last bag down and heading back to his garage, “And do not touch the knives until I’m back.”

“Dude, I’m twelve, I can hold a knife.”

“Just don't start without me, okay?"

"Five minutes and then I'm raiding your knife block."

Hella nervous posting this but I’m proud of it and worked my ass off for this opportunity so here we go!!! My M&G photo and story under the cut. I appreciate if no one reblogs this since it does have my face in it but please enjoy otherwise!! And I’d love to hear your M&G stories with Papa as well, I’m very excited to hear as I am excited to share!!

Edit: okay so there’s an option on here now that makes the post unrebloggable!! Very helpful!!

A group of a few people and myself were taken to a dark room. It’s a bit smokey, I can smell the incense burning, and then there’s the ambient horror music really creating the perfect backdrop for this unsettling mood. One corner of the room was boxed in by curtains- where Papa was waiting behind. I was the fifth person in line to see him- I made @ghoulish-ghrace go in front of me. I won’t lie, I was scared, shaky, panicking a little. I mean come on, the guy’s my hero (in and out of costume) and I’m still just this anxiety ridden little kid at heart. Grace can probably remember more of how I was than I can haha. Suddenly y’know it was my turn and I went by myself and Papa was just right there. It was jumpscare material the way he was just BOOM right there in front of you. Most of you know how he stares at you by now, his eyes are soul-searching and he doesn’t miss a beat. He looks and moves so realistically, photos and videos don’t do him justice, I swear to god I couldn’t breathe. He says “hello” and “how are you doing tonight?” I can’t remember what I said exactly, something along the lines of “doing good just very scared and nervous” to which he responded “ah, don’t be, it’s just me”. I told him he looked amazing and he replied “as do you, you look very nice tonight” and he asked me if I was ready for the photo. I do remember apologizing a lot, a nervous habit I never quite broke. But Papa was so sweet and patient with me and never got annoyed once. He was more soft spoken than I imagined him to be, like he was talking to a spooked animal. Nine times out of ten, he could tell I was on edge and close to crying. Anyways, he stayed on the other side of the plexiglas dude to the COVID restrictions. You can see it in the photo, I stood pretty far away from him, I’m that chickenshit through this whole thing lol. After the photo, I was getting ready to leave, I wanted to say more but I couldn’t and was literally about to cry and didn’t want to keep people waiting. But then Papa steps in my way to face me, no plexiglass in our way, and then we are face to face. Maybe it’s my mind exaggerating the memory but- he was very close to me, dudes. I could feel his fucking breath on my face and he still has that piercing stare. Putting his hands together as if he’s praying, still keeping eye contact with me (terrifying by the way, I am horrible with eye contact but I tried my best for this) he says so softly, “hey, it’s okay, you’re going to be okay. Now. I want you to go out there, make some friends, have fun and have a good time tonight. Can you do that for me?” I told him “yes sir, I would, I promise” something like that. Thinking on it, I called him sir more than I called him Papa, oof regret!!. I did manage to barely thank him for everything he’s done and for being patient with me. I almost went to the wrong side of the tent to leave but I was able to turn around and say “goodbye, Papa” and he gave me a little wave watching me leave.

After I escaped the room intact (WOOHOO), I briefly spoke to some very nice people in line who looked to be in the same frightened state I was in. I told him how sweet he was and that he was too kind. It seemed to help. And then I ran to hug Grace and just about tackled them!! But yeah overall, this was an experience worth every penny I worked extra hours for and every minute standing out in the humidity/rain. Papa doesn’t let COVID restrictions get in the way of making the M&Gs intimate, personal, and special. I left that little curtained corner with no regrets and partied hard at that ritual surrounded by fellow ghesties. Best night EVER!!!

(You can tell by my hair, it was most definitely rainy and humid outside 😂 Thank you, Papa, for not pointing that out)

#apologies if this is a little long and dramatic (it was a dramatic experience cmon it’s Ghost) #I just want to immortalize this to the best of my ability so I can never forget #fellow ghesties with memory issues will understand 😂 #I’ve cried over the retelling so many times ugh and I’m crying now!! #but I DIDNT cry in front of papa!!! #almost did but I didn’t in the end!!! #My Mummy Dust #Witch Image #Cardinal Copia #Papa Emeritus IV #Ghost #Impera Era #Imperatour #also Adri face reveal??? oh??? 🫣

Case of the pockets

Part 1 : Part 2 : Part 3 : Part 4 : Part 5 : Epilogue

The atmosphere was stiff as the trio sat in Henchman’s living room. Two villains and a hero (well, two sidekicks and a henchman) sat in a room; sounds like the start of a bad joke or a fight. 

“So…” Villain Sidekick said, breaking the silence “Henchman, how’s it going, is working for Supervillain alright? How different is it from working with Villain?"  

"It's… top secret,” Henchman answered as they popped a soda can. “And besides, don't you two have something to talk about?”

“Well, Hero Sidekick was the one who wanted to talk,” Villain Sidekick said, looking over to their do-gooder counterpart. “So, are we gonna talk or what? Why did you call me?” They wanted to look annoyed but their curiosity was getting the better of them.

Hero Sidekick finally spoke, “Well… it’s about last night’s fight… Is it just me or… was Villain's reaction kinda… weird? When they saw Hero, I mean.”

“Maybe? What’s your point?” Villain Sidekick said indifferently. 

“Why do you think that is?” Hero Sidekick asked.

“Eh, just didn’t like that your new suits put us at a disadvantage," they shrugged. "You’ve got pockets now instead of those idiotic handbags, much more practical. You can just throw stuff at us instead of wasting time hounding around in your bags. It’s just common sense, we gotta up our game now.”

“I guess,” Hero Sidekick didn’t sound convinced.

“Of course, what else could it be?" They turned to their sibling-in-crime, "Henchman, what do you think?”

Henchman took a moment to think then replied slowly, “Well… not everyone likes changes, I mean, I’m pretty sure Villain still hasn’t forgiven me for taking that job under Supervillain and that was what, a year ago?” 

“You flat out betrayed them for a raise!” Villain Sidekick exclaimed indignantly, defending Villain. 

“Fair point,” Henchman responded.

Silence. 

Hero Sidekick looked between the two… friends awkwardly, but nonetheless tried to bring the conversation back to their concerns.

“But I still think Villain was acting really weird, especially about the pockets.” When Villain Sidekick rolled their eyes, Hero Sidekick urged, “C’mon! They brought up Hero’s handbag alone, like, thrice!”

Villain Sidekick sighed. “Fine, I’ll humour you. Pretend Villain did seem really focused on Hero’s pockets. So what? And why were there no pockets before anyway?” they had started thinking out loud.

Hero Sidekick didn’t have an answer to that.

“Maybe,” Villain Sidekick jumped up from their seat as they wondered aloud, “maybe, Villain infiltrated the heroes’ supersuits department? Just a design edit here, a little tweaking there, then boom! No pockets and Villain has the advantage in battle!” Villain Sidekick sat down triumphantly. “Clever Villain! So evil!” 

There were a few seconds of silence from the other two before Henchman began carefully, “Or, and hear me out here, maybe Villain… has a crush on Hero?”

Both sidekicks' jaws dropped and everyone sat in silence for a few moments before they spoke up.

“That actually makes a lot of sense.” said Hero Sidekick finally.

“That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard,” said Villain Sidekick at the same time, staring at the two.

“Come on, now,” Henchman said, holding back a smile. “Think about it. Villain was clearly disappointed with the new suit because it’s way less attractive than the old one.”

Villain Sidekick blinked. “They were upset because they had less advantage, dum-dum.”

“Yeah, but wouldn’t they be more mad than sad if that were the case?" Hero Sidekick defended. "Everyone knows how angry villains get when a plan falls through, and Villain is no different from the rest.”

Villain Sidekick did not look amused. “Don’t embarrass yourselves. Villain can’t have a crush on Hero! They’re a villain! And they’re a hero! They’re nemeses and hate each other!”

Henchman sipped their drink, looking at Villain Sidekick, “So, you really think that there’s a higher likelihood of a tailoring traitor in the hero agency, targeting pockets specifically, than Villain having a crush on Hero?”

Villain Sidekick nodded furiously, “Yes! One hundred percent!”

Not much else was said after that, and eventually the two sidekicks left. But, unbeknownst to Henchman, the next session was already being planned.

[superbatson]

i saw fotg today and bc i'm still not of sound mind to write a proper review (for here or letterboxd), i'm gonna just do a dump of all my spoilery thoughts featuring stuff i loved about the movie:

the new theme is incredible and epic i love you mr. christophe beck i'm gonna make you one of my top spotify artists this year for sure. (for reference: the previous score composer made my top 5 artists back in 2019 bc of how often i streamed the first movie's score.)

FREDDY AND ANTHEA WERE SO CUTE! obviously i'm ride or die for freebat but like freddy has two hands so he can date anthea too. honestly i'm team anthea/freddy/billy/courtney polycule. make it canon!

DARLA AND THE KITTIES! SHE NAMED ONE OF THEM TAWNY!!! so basically cat tawny, as my freebat server invented, is now movie canon. boom. (no really i screamed, i hope somehow that kitten becomes actual tawny in the movies. we really need to see tawny someday)

freddy calling billy "captain everything jr" was so fucking funny to me. like ofc freddy would act all cocky as a hero and the boys would still argue over who's the sidekick. i love it so much

GAY PEDRO REAL! WE DID IT Y'ALL!!! that scene got such a good laugh in my theater, it made me so happy. and i love that jovan got to be the one to say it too rather than dj. 'cause i know internet gays go all gaga for dj but coming out can be such a sweet, pure thing sometimes so jovan really deserved to have that moment and i'm glad he did. (and now seeing the movie, i have more respect for the tie-in comics, since pedro's was all about him being into baseball. i get why now hehe)

also i know i'm jumping ahead here but AY WE GOT AN ELVIS REFERENCE! sure, it was just the end credit song, but hey, i'll take it. it's something. and it was the junkie xl edit of the song too, so naturally, i loved it even more.

speaking of, the movie had a decent amount of bvs parallels! well, more than one, at least. everyone's harped on the final battle with billy basically sacrificing himself just like clark did in bvs (i hope to see those parallel gifsets in the future!), but i also noticed some bvs nods during billy's fight with hespera. when she dragged him by the cape and lifted him over her head to slam him onto the ground... i swear that was just like the bathroom fight with bruce and clark. at least the cape drag. i'd have to go back and watch both movies to see exactly what shots are parallel to each other, but, yeah. sandberg's movies still feel like love letters to zack's and i adore that.

WAS ANYONE GONNA WARN ME THAT IT'S ASHER'S FACE WE SEE WHEN BILLY DIES???? i mean, i didn't want the spoiler anyway but oh my god, i was not emotionally prepared. oh god. i'm still thinking about it. and freddy's sobbing. god. speaking of bvs parallels--

that scene is gonna haunt me for the rest of my days. i'm gonna write and read so many fics about it. ahhhhhhhh

yeah the movie did have a good amount of freebat bless you sandberg & gayden (and now jack and asher are adults so i can justifiably enjoy the freebat-ness of jack & zach scenes here too. suck it, antis!)

but also the movie did have a severe lack of asher and that made me kinda sad. there's a shot from the tv spots he's in that i do Not recall seeing in the movie at all. (though i did run to the bathroom just before the final battle so maybe i missed it somehow? but i doubt it bc his outfit was from an earlier part of the film) but also i kinda wish it was asher who came out of the grave instead of zach. like in the context of the movie, i understand why it was zach, bc diana gave him his powers back, but they buried regular billy so i wish he was the one to emerge from the grave. but whatever, i'm just picky.

asher did kinda out-act zach in all his scenes, though. this boy needs to get more work PRONTO! (he only has one other project coming out this year, i think. some small true story movie. put him in more blockbusters! disney, get him for your tangled remake! just something, please!!!)

the diana cameo was actually amazing and anyone saying bad things about it needs to shut the fuck up. it was great and yeah billy had a crush on her but he's established to be crushing on her in the first film too, it's literally nothing new.

"taste the rainbow, motherfu--!" one of the best lines in the movie, hands down. skittles has the only valid in-movie marketing. i know the line kinda got spoiled in tv spots but it was still so funny in context.

also darla sorting out all the yellow skittles for hespera was so cute and i was kinda thinking autie vibes before she explained her reasoning for it. the whole shazamily is neurodivergent and i will die on that hill.

yeah that's all i can think of for now i really loved the movie, i also kinda wanted more from it but probably bc i felt like we didn't see enough of the family together. but that can be resolved in a third film, of course. (if we ever get one. i know the opening box office is disappointing but maybe the film can still turn a profit. the budget's basically the same as the first film so it only has to make like $300 mil again for wb to make their money back. and it could blow up on streaming afterwards. you never know. i just hope wb is patient and takes their time before deciding on the future of shazam, if this cast is truly out for the reboot.)
