TheeHorsepussys Portland : Vaseline Alley aka Stark Street aka Harvey Weinstein ( I always get that mixed up) Harvey Milk Blvd

Documenting some gay-ass history for the kids

Red Arrow - 2 blocks to Touche. Not gay but spent most of the 90s in that bar. Fancy looking dining room/pool room but mostly service industry clientele. Hard to find a spot to do drugs discreetly.

Green - Everyday Music. Where to sell vinyl for dope money.

Yellow - Big BIG abandoned, scary building. Looked haunted. Was eventually renovated. But gave you the heebie-jeebies walking past it at night. Gay bashing zone

Green Arrow - The City Nightclub. Underage nightclub. Chicken Hawks(is that Gus Van Sant?), lots of drugs, good DJ downstairs, GREAT DJ upstairs

Red - The Henry Weinhard Brewery (demolished) Made the area smell really, really awful. Gagging thinking of it.

(Stark Street starts to the right here. It looks like they built some weird barrier in the intersection..probably cuz drunk gays in middle of street)

Orange - The Bathhouse. Home away from home. I would sell rip-off size bags of meth to subsidize my habit. Sucked a huge penis here. Gagging thinking of it. Gay bar downstairs was called either Flossies or Silverado or both. Male strippers. Would buy my shitty little bags of dope.

Blue Arrow - at one moment in the 90s, a sex club I think owned by Fantasy Video. Robert would meet his side piece there . The director Todd Haynes, I fuzzily recall reading, was a patron. I went once. Weird vibe. There was a plaque on the wall outside the entrance commemorating the recording of Louie, Louie.

Orange - The Eagle. Bar where it was common to have sex. I saw a guy take a foot up his butt. Cops started randomly coming in to cock block. There is a new bar called the Eagle up in NE Portland up by the Heroin Fred Meyer (I suppose they all are now)

Blue - Transient hotel above the store I hated buying cigarettes from but can't recall why. Maybe it was expensive.

Green - Greasy spoon called Roxys. Horrible breakfast food 24/7. I think it used to be down the street on Everett. Had a tiny basement bar. Moved to Vaseline Alley in 90s. Had ginormous picture of Quentin Tarantino or some shit. Very 90s

Yellow - Three Sisters (Six Titties) dive bar/gay bar. Never really went there. At some point was a male strippers bar. Robert had me escort one of his side pieces there. Kid thought the stripper was really into him. I tried to explain. I won $600 on the poker machine and drove the kid home.

Orange - Django Records. Large amounts of cheap used records. 3 for a dollar bins! I bought Eyehategod In the Name of Suffering here. Also the Cruising soundtrack...33cents!

Red - Fancy, expensive hotel. Yell really loud underneath the windows. They like that. Cops always parked along this stretch. Drunk gays got their first DUIs around here.

Mint- block of amnesia. I don't think it existed

Red - Boxes. Gay bar where you did lines of coke/mda/meth in the bathroom without hassle. TV sets with Oprah or Steel Magnolias, shit like that on. Spartacus Leather fetish store was down a couple doors. Inside Boxes, you could take a wood paneled passage through the fish restaurant kitchen ( I don't think anyone ever ate there) and end up at.....

Green - the Brig. Named because dance floor had bars around it like a jail cell. Imagine the creative dance moves as the queens grappled bars, ass out while Madonna songs played on a loop. Your meth dealer could be found here, doing a fan dance. Don't wear black. Semen stains show up under the blacklights. (or do)

Yellow - the house paint store. Eventually became the Panorama in the age of MDMA. Rave type music. Went there once to meet a dealer. Obnoxious experience.

White - Silverado. Country Western night most nights. My roommate dj'd andtaught line dancing but dance floor was like 10 sq ft so it was just the gays holding hands and boot scootin' in a little circle for eternity. Bar I could get into underage.

Orange - Ben Stark Hotel. Like outta Barton Fink. But really,really seedy. Had some weird sex in there. Now a boutique hotel owned by some Donald Trump guy Gordon Someone who did something once. Probably haunted.

Brown - Scandals. Beer /wine bar. Big windows so you can people-watch and talk shit. Used to go in there underage until I got thrown out snorting a rail of MDA off the tabletop. Had electronic darts and video poker in the 90s. Me and Robert had a domestic dispute there.

Red - row of funky vintage/antique shops. Someone used to broadcast a pirate radio station somewhere around there in the 90s

Blue - Portland Underground. Small venue had some big shows early 90s. Top floor is where I swear I saw Econochrist play. But it's an office building. Maybe confused

Yellow. OBryant Square aka Paranoid Park. Skateboarders and street drugs. I got "chased" by AF Nazis here. Probably more like I ran my fat ass up the street after this girl I knew screamed "run!" And they probably just laughed. I didn't look back. I think it's demolished now.

White arrow- up the block toward the Galleria. Second floor toilet was really cruisy. Careful of cockblocking rent-a-cops. Kiosk by cafe I think was only place downtown to buy pipe to smoke pot

#long ass post #TheeHorsepussys Portland

[cthulhusstepmom]

Simon has been engaging in what he likes to call "exposure therapy"; in essence he'll go to Soap's room, usually when he's there, and stare at the snake until he feels his lips start to burn and twist. When he's feeling particularly brave he'll go sit on the bathroom floor and stare down the cobra, False cobra he reminds himself. That one is usually better, it's smaller and objectively otherworldly. It's hard to justify having a panic attack over a purple snake half as long as his arm. He's been getting better, the burning turns to a subtle itch to a barely noticeable twitch. It took five hours of sitting in cold tile to get even the slightest reaction last time, watching Hugo cruise around his enclosure while Johnny slept soundly in the other room. Hour six and he does something stupid.

He knows the falsie can't hurt him, no worse than a bee sting if he lets it chew him up, he read. He'd seen Soap handle him, seen the love in his eyes as he looked at him. He doesn't really realize he's done it until he hears the click of the glass door hitting home. And now Simon is frozen watching the snake come forward to investigate him, can feel the flicks of its tongue flicking over his gooseflesh. His lungs start burning, watching the snake flare out its neck hovering above his palm. His scales are wet from where he'd been swimming as he inches carefully onto Ghost's arm. The texture brings him back to the present, incredibly smooth and pleasantly warm to the touch from the warm water. Ghost shakes his head and looks down. Hugo is exploring his lap at a leisurely pace, poking his head into the folds of material in his sweats. Eventually he finds the stretched out pocket and in a flash he dives in and curls himself up as pleased as punch. After that, his exposure therapy takes a different turn and, with Soap's permission, he even takes Hugo to the break room in the dead of night to meet the goldfish (safely on the outside of the glass of course).

One day Soap approaches him with a pleased hop in his step and announces that he found someone for Hugo. Ghost isn't upset. He's not. He knows how Johnny's operation works, Hugo was never going to be a permanent resident...but it just feels so soon.

Soap gives him the details and a week later they've set a meeting in the parking lot of the local Tesco's. Hugo is leisurely curling through Ghost's fingers, distracting him from the exposed feeling of just a black medical mask, as Johnny watches with a small smile on his face that's slowly disappearing as the time crawls past fifteen minutes late. At half an hour late a loud car peels into the lot with a screech, making a beeline toward their borrowed pickup and pulling to a stop far far too close to Johnny for Simon's comfort.

The kid that gets out of the car is tall and lanky with dusty blond hair that's seen more gel than shampoo in the past several weeks. He's young, younger than Simon had expected and from the contemplative frown on Johnny's face younger than he expected too. He's early twenties, 24 at the oldest. He also reeks of cigarette smoke, not that Ghost himself is the perfect role model for lung health but he's not chain-smoked like that since he was a teenager with something to prove.

"Ay sup bruv! Sorry I'm late traffic's a fucking bitch." The kid claps a hand on Soap's back. "Where is it?" Soap is opening his mouth to answer but he's cut off by the next outburst. "Fuck mate you're holding it? That's fucking ballsy, mad respect! Big lad like you, probably take a while before it offed you though yeah?"

The urge to put a bullet through this cocky little wankstain is a loud chant in the back of his mind.

"Not worse than a bee sting." He growls under his breath.

"S' a Cobra innit?" The kid snarks.

"False Water Cobra." Soap corrects and Ghost can hear the click of his teeth as he spits out the words.

"...still venomous though right? Your post said it was venomous."

A pregnant pause fills the air as Soap and Ghost make eye contact. Silent communication flies between them, a language learned in a landscape of fire and death. The slightest twitch, a shallow nod.

"We're done here." Ghost snarls as let's Hugo slither into his pocket, crossing his arms.

"Oi! I dunno what you think you're doing freakshow but I'm not leaving without my fucking snake." The kid reaches ominously into his pocket.

The little shit makes it a single step forward before a heavy hand clamps down on his trapezius.

"Ah dinnae think yeh understand. We're done, aye?"

Ghost feels a grin twitching on his lips as he watches pain twist up the youth's pointed features, watching Soap twist him around and shove him into his car with little more complaint than a pained yelp.

When they're back on base Ghost lets out a small breath of relief when Hugo is safely returned to his palaudarium.

Laying with Johnny curled up on his chest later that night he feels more than he hears a small laugh.

"Yer attached to him now."

He heaves a great long-suffering sigh.

"Less of a brat than you are, made it easy."

His Johnny laughs loud and clear and if his brain is turning with plans of rearranging his room and researching plants then that's between him and god...for now.

#....hehehehhehe #hugo is finally more than a on offscreen gag!! #and of course Ghost fell in love with him just look at them. #being completely realistic:DO NOT FREEHANDLE ANY MILDLY VENEMOUS SNAKE YOU DO NOT KNOW #BAD IDEA #even if the venom isnt that severe you could be allergic and if theres anything you can do to avoid a bite just do it #also the rearfanged venemous species are so fascinating and i could give like a whole short seminar on them i love them so much #and yes Hugo is here to stay #cod mw2 #fish person gaz #ghost x soap #ghostsoap #reptile person soap #john soap mactavish #simon ghost riley #false water cobra

DON'T TELL YOUR MOM - Tom Holland one shot

Pairing:- Tom Holland!step brother x Reader

______________________________________________________________

Summary:- "Shh we don't want mom and dad hear your moans now do we?" he joked. He noticed fresh slick oozing out of you and smirked to himself.

"Moan louder" he commanded.

______________________________________________________________

Warning- Pure Filth 🤐 that's it | WC:- 1.7k

______________________________________________________________

Rings and vows were exchanged; promises of never leaving each other again were spoken between your mother and your step dad. God knows if those promises would be kept for long, considering this is your mom’s second marriage and your step dad’s third.

Your step dad was rich wait that’s underrated. Your step dad is filthy rich. Even after diving all of his property between his three sons and now you, he still had enough money to go up and about all by himself. After the traditional wedding ceremony, all the guests were then taken for a cruise for the reception. What’s a 20 year old girl like you gonna do among 60 something years old businessmen and not to mention their wives. So you decided to go hangout with people below the deck.

As soon as you made your way down the stairs, Peter pulled you in squeaking in excitement. “Where were you? Me and ‘Vin were looking all over” he pouted. “I was upstairs, you know these parties and their formalities” you shrugged. “You mean the wedding. Our parent’s. Aren’t you happy? With Arvin, Tom and of course Me” Peter was concerned for you. He knows how much of a new family, new place, new people can get to your head and being the youngest amongst those three, he could connect.

Easing him out you said, “Especially you. I’m really happy with you guys, couldn’t be happier.”

“Oh Sis, don’t worry about the old man, you won’t see him as much, to be honest, neither do we.” Arvin stood behind you holding a glass of not-so-soft-drink. You smiled as you eased out in their comfort. Arvin was an amazing elder brother, caring, supportive and loving. After all he was supposed to take the business on so the responsibilities came to him naturally. Peter, well, obviously was a happy bouncing pumpkin. All the time, he was happy there was finally someone he could take care of.

But the middle one, Tom, was a force to reckon with.

The two brothers pulled you in through the party, in midst of the dancing figures, ugh the stench of all the perfumes mixing together could potentially kill you. So you decided to sit in front of the projector with Peter already passed out on the couch. Figured. That kid

Among the shadows, preying eyes were set on you as you unknowingly sat there innocently. Tom was looking at you hungrily. The way your eyes peeked at the adult movie playing on the screen, how to hid your eyes between your palms during an ‘inappropriate scene’. How smooth your legs were, as the lace of your skirt rested on your thighs. If adjusted, it could give a perfect view of your untouched, virgin womanhood.

As he watched you, he noticed a young man sit beside you and have a small talk just to engage conversation. While talking he slyly slipped his hand on your thighs and Tom noticed how supple your flesh was, as it sank under his fingers which merely grazed your skin. Him and only him, was allowed to experience it around his face, ears and lips as he ate you out.

“Hey Andrew” Tom spoke which startled the young man. “H-Hey Tom”

“Mr. for you, Andrew” Tom spoke coldly. Andrew gulped on the sheer dominance Tom exerted. Tom’s alpha pheromones and aura caused Andrew to trip back and hit the wall as Tom threatened.

“Listen, if I see you near Y/N, tonight or ever again, I’ll start …..peeling your skin …..from the point you touched her. Understood” Tom bent Andrew’s fingers so hard, he could hear his fingers break. Not to startle anyone, Andrew had no choice but to keep quite as he ran away from there.

Tom adjusted his tux as he returned to his seat, set his hair and looked at you again. Sitting there all innocent, blushing at the scenes. “You’re ruining me” he thought. “…and I’ll spoil you.” He continued.

During all the lunch and dinner dates your parents had before the marriage, to get the children bond, bonded too much for Tom. He would drop his cutlery often just to bend down and see your smooth legs and feel them if he was lucky. His fantasies of having bent over and pounding into you over and over again got him hard as he showered and came hard on the wall. Things you were doing to him.

It had been six months since the wedding and your family of six were living in your step dad’s mansion. But somethings had changed, Tom started visiting you often. After his shifts at the office, he would come directly in your room. But not to talk.

He would come and talk about your womanly instincts. How you felt sexually. Discussing all of this with your step brother was weird but after some time it got a little comfortable. Too comfortable.

He then installed a projector in your room, and installed some porn videos and asked you to watch them. You had never seen anything as obscene as this. Hell you never even liked anyone so you never bothered to explore and experience yourself. “Why are you doing this?” you asked Tom, who was sitting their silently, as if nothing happened. “I’m taking care of you, till you find someone, whom you love, so you could all of that with him. I’m your brother right?” he spoke while slowly walking towards you and caressing your face. The hell he was.

It had been weeks, since he was showing you those videos. One particular one of them had a girl touch herself down there. You had never tried it before so you decided to change that today. Hesitantly, as you reached to your panties, you experienced something wet and slimy. But just as you were going to get your hand out feeling disgusted, you hit a spot that got you screaming. You get touching that spot and now in a faster motion and you continued till you felt like peeing. You stopped then and took heavy breaths.

Tom stood there and saw everything. Heard everything. He stood there cupping his bulge which was so hard it was almost numb. He had to do something. So he made a choice.

That night after everyone was sleeping, he went to your room and to his surprise, he saw you, getting off to the mobile phone. You kept the vibration mode on and on your soft spot. Tom slowly walked in and saw you.

Eyes closed, mouth apart and a sheen of sweat covering your body, reflecting light from all the right places. Your boobs were swollen as you kept denying yourself an orgasm as you thought you were about to pee.

He got on his knees and found his opening as he attached his lips on your red and swollen lips. You jolted at the sudden pleasure only to be calmed down by Tom.

“Hey babygirl, big brother’s gonna help you now, let go” he said circling your sensitive pearl. “I think…I think..ahhhh I’m gonna pee” you talked half moaned. “Let go babygirl, cum on my tongue.”

You heard what he said and let yourself go, “Tom, ahhhh, Tom please” you whispered as you came on his tongue. It drove him crazy, the way you moaned his name. You were meant to be his. Even if you weren’t no one else was getting you anyways, you were his in every literal sense.

As you came down from your euphoric high, you were bought to reality with Tom’s zip being open and stroking his rick hard dick. “To-“ you tried to speak only to be mummed later. “Shhh” he placed his fingers on your lips to shut up, the sift pink flesh, he wondered how it tasted until he did. The kiss was soft and slow as he started to explore every bit of your mouth, your tongues touched and lapped with a slow and soft chaste. But to your surprise, the slow and chaste motion was broken when he pulled you towards himself, grabbed your legs and spread them wide.

“It’ll hurt, you’ll have to take me well babygirl” Tom commanded. All you could do was nod. You never felt all those things before, so wet, so supple so ready and all for him. He lubricated himself with his pre-cum, completely unbothered about protection.

He lined himself at your center, looked at you with lust filled in his eyes. “All mine”

He thrusted himself in you in one swift motion and touched that spongy soft spot inside which had you moaning so loudly he had to cover your face. He thrusted in and out of your virgin cunt which swallowed him like as if it was devoured. After hitting the spot again and again he repositioned himself as he drew you closer and had your ankles touch his lowered back. He kept massaging the soft and sensitive pearl as he kept fucking you.

It was driving you crazy, all these touches. You were moaning mess and he didn’t complain until. He hit that spot so hard this time as he got up stand so he could get deeper.

"Shh we don't want mom and dad hear your moans now do we?" he joked. He noticed fresh slick oozing out of you and smirked to himself.

"Moan louder" he commanded. He had to sprawled below with your legs apart and he stood as he fucked you into oblivion. As you approached your edge yet again so did he.

He could feel the slick covering his dick, but it wasn’t, it was blood.

Tom took your virginity just like he wanted and no one else was getting a taste, ever. You both came at the same time. He almost fell on top of you when your walls held him so hard he couldn’t move. After the strenuous episode, you were tired so you drifted off to sleep.

Tom already had so many fantasies to fulfil. With you. Only the thought of it got him hard. Again.

[startanewdream]

sea, for @jilymicrofics

James knew he wasn't supposed to go up there, but he couldn't help himself; none of his friends understood what attracted him to the surface, but as always, Sirius agreed to cover for him as James swam upward, towards the dark sky where lights were playing. There was a shadow there, which meant only one thing; a boat was cruising the sea.

Which meant going to the surface was dangerous and risky, and the reason why James wanted to do it.

He broke the surface of the water quickly, his momentum prompting him to jump and twist in the middle of the air before falling back with a splash.

He laughed, but then through the silence of the night, more than the sound of the ship cutting through the waves, he heard a voice.

"Wow! Did you see that, Tuney?"

A weak voice answered it. "No, and Mother told you to not stay close to the edge, Lily."

"I will not fall," said the first voice. Lily, James guessed. Curiosity flooded him; he broke the surface of the water once again, careful to keep only his head above.

He knew he could breathe out of the water just as below — a sign, he would always tell his parents, that it was okay to visit the surface — but James fell out of breath all the same as his gaze met the young woman leaning against the handrail of the boat. Under the lights coming from the ship, her face was lit; she was the most beautiful human he had ever gazed upon. Dark red hair, sharp bright green eyes, and a smile that invited him for adventure. She looked ahead, searching for something in the sea.

"Lily!" Called the first voice, annoyed.

"I'll be down," said Lily, but she didn't move, still searching. "Maybe it was a dolphin," she mumbled, seemingly to herself. "But I could swear..." A sigh. "You are daydreaming again, Lily Evans. Merfolk is just a legend."

No, James thought suddenly. We are real. He raised himself up, just as she started to turn around, and for a moment, only a tiny second, James swore their gazes met. He dived quickly, heart racing; not being seen was the most important rule, the one that not even James could dare break — but then he swam up once again, unable to resist the call, the need to see her once again...

The deck was empty.

He ignored the sudden emptiness; it was for the better. He needed to get back before somebody looked for him. His friends would be worried and—

The wind changed. It happened on the surface, and though the weather was always interesting to watch from this perspective — dark clouds would twirl in the sky, the water would challenge his swimming skills —, James prepared himself to dive and go back home to his underwater home—and, now far away from him, he saw lightning hit the sails of the boat, spreading fire through the columns of the ship.

Screams cut through the night, and distantly he saw people moving on the deck.

"James!"

He turned; Sirius and Remus had joined him, swimming hard to resist the pull of the waves. "Your parents are looking for you, we need to go back now!"

"The ship is going to sink!"

Neither answered him; ships sunk. It had nothing to do with them, and to interfere in human affairs was a rule that James had never broken directly, and yet... the face of the woman came back from him. Lily.

"Don't come after me," he told his friends, and swam towards the ship on fire.

ASTRO OBSERVATIONS:

My Favorite Rising Signs Per Traditional Planetary Ruler.

Mercury : Mercury takes a feminine approach when Virgo is in the first house. Virgo Risings appear youthful, and innocent with fair, feminine-like skin for both males and females. They have a cunning, mischievous look to them by the squinty shape their eyes possess. Foreheads appear prominent because of the influence of Mercury on the Native’s Mind. Features tend to appear dark and mysterious in a way. They are observant, shy, and sensitive people. They have an icy exterior, appearing aloof. This is because these Natives are afraid to let their guard down, wanting to appear that they are always in control. Because of this, they appear to have a clean, well-put look. They appear modest and have an influence of self-care when it comes to their image. They remind me of Prue Halliwell in Charmed, hardworking, always in control, and looks good in everything they wear. This rising sign wants to appear perfect, although they themselves will try to tweak everything to make it appear so, however one small detail can cause any insecurity inside while keeping a straight emotionless look. This rising sign is also prone to tummy issues because of Mercury’s influence, causing anxiety due to the overthinking and self criticism they cannot shake off. However, the Mercurial rising signs are the most beautiful in my opinion. They don’t get their flowers however, they are truly an icon. Beautiful, youthful, witty with an analytical approach. Some Celebrities with this Rising sign are: Timothée Chalamet, Emma Watson, Sharon Stone, Kris Jenner and Janelle Monáe.

Mars: Scorpio Risings for sure take the cake with this one, like Virgo, they are observant, cunning, and have innate powers of perception, providing Mars a dark, feminine take with this Sign in the first house. Scorpio Risings are co-ruled by Pluto, appearing mysterious, intense and seductive. They command the attention of a room when they walk in, even if it is unwanted. They have an aura of sexuality because of the bedroom eyes that they possess, wrapping anyone around their finger.They give off Jessica Rabbit vibes, also looking very well in the colors of black and red because it captures the seduction they have. However, unlike Aries who is confident and outgoing, they are reserved and value secrecy. Trust is a big value for them, they will give you a puzzle to solve with their persona because of this, and to keep up the mystery to them. However they are sensitive people, I see Scorpio as an icicle because of their fixed nature. Appearing cold and distant, only letting the ones they trust and love seeing their sweet, nurturing side. They can be a bit obsessive due to Pluto’s influence, always wanting to find the hidden truths, and diving below the surface of those they encounter, they know that just like themselves there is more to people than what they put out, that is where their sensitivity and perception come hand in hand. Scorpio Risings are just iconic. Some Celebrities with this Rising Sign are: Eva Longoria, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Frank Ocean and Kid Cudi.

Saturn: Capricorn Risings are timeless.This is because Saturn rules over time. Saturn’s femininity is truly expressed in Capricorn in the First House. Capricorn Rising is by far my favorite Rising Sign. They age like fine wine, and they are devilishly handsome for the men, and the women give off a sort of Femme Fatale look, like Ms. Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. Their bone structure is very prominent in the face, whether it be their teeth, cheekbones, jawline or nose. This rising sign also appears aloof and reserved. Their eyes are deep like the earth below, only letting those they trust uncover their depths. There is a seriousness about them that makes them intimidating, and a sadness about them that makes their energy heavy and intense due to the exaltation of Mars in Capricorn. I mean they are represented by a sea-goat, meaning that under that tough, boulder like exterior, are raging waters of emotions. However, they do not give themselves time to feel their emotions, instead they use it as a motivation to work harder and reach greater heights in life. Capricorn Risings have an approach that is much like a business deal, kind of like the character Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. They dress to impress and they can be materialistic, like the other Earth Risings. They are also very strategic people, knowing what to say and do to reach the top of the mountain they are always climbing. Very funny people as well, if you can take the dark humor. Some Celebrities with this Rising Sign are: Zac Efron, Lorde, Dave Franco, Naomi Campbell and Carmen Electra.

Jupiter: This one was hard for me to decide because I love both of the Jupiterian Rising Signs, however Sagittarius takes this one. I noticed that the women with this rising sign have voluptuous bodies, and very sexy. The men tend to be athletic looking as well. However, the masculinity of Jupiter makes these natives have an outgoing and optimistic approach. They may also appear hippie like because of their positive nature, and because of the spiritual influence Jupiter has on them. However, I noticed that those born under the Sagittarius-Pluto Generation, tend to appear as Scorpios since Pluto sits in the First House, giving them the mystery and intensity. For the most part this rising sign is funny and charming with huge, infectious smiles. They honestly remind me of Maddie Perez from Euphoria, which may be a bit controversial to some, but they give off Main Character energy and like Maddie herself, they are blunt as fuck! And like Maddie Perez herself once again, they look amazing in Purple or deep blues. For the most part, they look at life as an adventure, and love to have a good time. If you want to have a party, make sure to invite this rising sign because they will make sure you will live it to its fullest potential with a little late night adventure. Some Celebrities with this Rising Sign are: Anne Hathaway, Alyssa Milano, Kim Kardashian, Brad Pitt and Bob Marley.

Venus: Libra Risings portray the Masculine side of Venus and this gives them charm. Their features are symmetrical (balanced) and they tend to have a widow’s peak giving their face a heart shape. They are flirty, and their body possesses sexuality and they love beautiful things since they themselves are beautiful. They appear youthful and value self-care, always paying close attention to their looks. Their bodies tend to be curvaceous or model-like. Doja Cat is a Libra Rising and her beauty is immaculate. They live in the grey area of the world, seeing both sides to everything and having an understanding of that. They may come across fake because of this, however they want to keep the peace and will do what it takes to maintain the balance. Saturn is exalted in this sign, so they are smarter than they appear. However, Libra Risings I noticed know how to play dumb in getting what they want, they are cunning as fuck. As soon as you think you figured them out, they move ten steps forward while you move ten back. I truly admire them for that all while maintaining their beautiful, immaculate image. Some Celebrities with this Rising Sign are: Doja Cat, Zoe Kravitz, Jared Leto, Anna Nicole Smith and the legend herself Beyoncé (allegedly)!

That is all for now Astro Babes✨💕 I hope you all found this fun! Let me know what you’re observations are of these rising signs, I would love to hear! Happy New Year, I hope your 2023 is filled with blessings in every shape and form!🥰🫶🙏

Much Love,

Papi Halliwell💙

[thisliminalspacedaydreams]

Hi Mar!! I really wanna start writing Marauders fics, specifically about the Valkyries. I have soooo many ideas that I’m really excited about, but this fandom seems really volatile. Do you have any advice on how to keep my sanity lol. I’m really doing it to foster more community with ppl who have similar interests in me.

Bonjour!

So this is so very interesting and valid. I have a lot to say.

My experience with Marauders has been the best and the worst so far. I was in Naruto, then Star Stars, currently diving into Attack on Titans, and nothing has come close to the Marauders in terms of insanity, BUT.

I have met some of the best people on here, I can say with 100% certainty that I made at least 15 really good friends, who will remain good friends whether we stay in fandom or not.

But I personally have gotten basically no hate. I'm a relatively small writer, I fly under the radar mostly, even TikTok is very tame. Basically, I'm cruising. Vibing, having an all-around great time, good for me.

Then I have my friends, who are my real friends in real life and in fandom, who are "popular", and some of them have gotten some vile, vile vile things said to them. I have seen some shit and heard some stuff that frankly should never see the light of day, especially not aimed at a 20-something-year-old human. And they don't have a PR team, aren't getting paid for this shit, and that truly breaks my heart. Because it's a few, but a few is often enough to ruin the positive fandom experience. And then people wonder why artists and authors move from Marauders...

So experiences vary a lot, and the truth is maybe for no fucking reason your work will pop off and you'll be thrust into the limelight and you best hope you have thick skin because some people are assholes.

Or you'll be like me (so far) and just vibe and have a great time.

I think the best advice I can give is to write for yourself and your friends.

I started writing because I wanted to, and then a few people started liking what I did, and now I have a small community of friends and writers and artists and we all hype each other up and that's literally all I ever wanted. I write what I want because I want. I follow the people I want. I read the stories I want. I don't pay attention to hits or "what's popular" and "what I should read." I'll read what I damn well please.

I do pay attention to comments because to anyone who's ever commented, I read it and I get a straight shot of serotonin and I'm so appreciative.

Fuck, I have some really good writer friends whose stories I haven't read.

I think as long as you're careful, you curate your experience, grab a few people on the way who you like, don't pay attention to fame, then you should be fine.

I think HP fandom's issue is that you have fans that have digested the work, we don't really care ("you do you" kind of vibe), we just have a good time. Then there are some that have just arrived and whose experience with social media and "consumption" of "content" is (I'm sorry) wrong. Requesting and asking and demanding shit they aren't entitled to.

Deciding what's right and what's wrong and what's acceptable.

And panicking when someone they follow doesn't follow the script they've written for them in their head, so when you say one thing that doesn't check their box they have this weird "god falling off the pedestal" they put you on, and they decide to drag you down for it.

You just don't know.

BUT. The odds of you becoming insanely popular are quite frankly super low, there are a few freak incidents but generally most of the fandom I'd say is pretty healthy, we just don't see it as much because what always comes out is the bad stuff. Stick to these pockets of happy. Don't engage in drama. Ignore the idiots.

That was unnecessarily long.

Basically, my love, go write your Valkyries. Pop off, write the story YOU want to write, and the people who will find it and like it will let you know. Find out who they are (in a non-creepy way, just respond to their comment, see if they've written something, and have a looksie). Be cool about it. Chat. See if you've got stuff in common. And then kidnap them and force them to become your friends.

Or be super creepy like I was with @greenvlvetcouch 😵‍💫 I wanted to become their friends and wrote them a fic. Then I sent it on Tumblr and said "Here you go" and now we're friends. (Note: Results may vary, and had Green not responded, I would have LET IT GO. Not everyone is meant to be friends and that is ALSO fine.)

Or for @imdamagecontrol my group chat and I were reading Titanic AU and we were all panicking about who was gonna die, and I sent her some screenshots of our panic through instagram and long story short now we're also friends. (Note: Results may vary, and had Syd not responded, I would have LET IT GO. Not everyone is meant to be friends and that is ALSO fine.)

So like... SHOOT YOUR SHOT but don't expect anything from it. Some people don't want to be your friend. Some people have enough friends. Take it with grace.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Dream A Little Dream of Me

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME || Tom Cruise 18+

Pairing: Tom Cruise x Reader

Summary: You wake up from a bad dream to find your husband, Tom Cruise, there to calm you down and kiss every fear away.

My first try at fanfic. This is a quick story I thought of and wrote in about an hour. I tried keeping a little bit of sexual tension. Hopefully you like it :)

“Y/N!” you jumped up in bed to Tom shouting your name and shaking your arm violently. 

“WH-WHAT?!” you yelled back, breathing heavily and trying frantically to distinguish the difference between a pillow and your husband through the darkness.

“I think you were having a bad dream, sweetheart”, he said softly, pulling you closer until your chests were resting against each other. You could feel your breathing start to slow as the warmth between you wrapped around you like a blanket of calm. That’s what you loved most about him. You were the crazy to his blanket of calm.

“I’m- I’m sorry I woke you…” you said softly.

“Don’t be sorry”, Tom replied, leaning in to press his lips against your wet forehead. “It must have been some dream”, he laughed to himself as he wiped the sweat from his lips. 

“I don’t even remember exactly what happened. All I know is you were test flying a fighter jet, but you lost control, and I was screaming your name, but you couldn’t hear me. You woke me up just as you were crashing into the ocean…” you caught the lump of sadness in your throat so that you wouldn’t have an absolute breakdown right there. It was only a dream you told yourself, swallowing the tears. 

“Come here, darling”, Tom pulled you even closer than you ever thought was humanly possible. His breath brushing the small wisps of your hair that tickled your forehead. “I’m fine and I’m right here. I’m always right here.” His hands moved under your night shirt to the small of your back where he made light strokes up and down with his fingers. 

You felt a tear trickle down your cheek and watched as it landed on his bare chest. You kissed the spot on his chest that your tear had fallen to and felt Tom’s legs move in your direction as they intertwined with yours. 

He removed his hand from your back and pulled your chin upwards so that your eyes met with his pools of green. “What can I do to make you feel better, Y/N?”, he asked. 

“Well… I can think of…” you took a minute to strategize your next move, “2 things”.

Tom laughed lightly into your mouth as he leaned in to steal a quick taste of your lips. 

“How about I just take a guess?” he replied cheekily. Even if he was wrong with his assumption, you didn’t care what happened next. Just him being there was enough to make all the fear go away.

“Ok, take a stab at it, Cruise”. He rolled his eyes at your response and swiftly grabbed your legs, pulling you on top of him. You straddled his hips as both of his hands crept under your night shirt and pulled it off in one quick motion. He pressed his hands down to pin your bare chest against his and you felt yourself melt into him. Running your hands through his hair, you leaned down to kiss him and were immediately met with his tongue gliding across yours. “How’d I do?”, he asked, smiling and not once moving his gaze from your lips, obviously wanting to dive back in for more. “I was gonna suggest we dance in our underwear until I felt better, but this will do”, you replied with a smile and a hurried kiss on his lips, making sure not to give him a second to change his mind.

Before you knew it, you were both pushing each other’s underwear down. You felt him pushing into you from underneath. He wanted so badly to take away your fears. While you pulled his hair and softly moaned into his kiss, Tom took your entire body into his hands. Touching you in places that haven’t been touched in the longest time. Keeping him inside of you, you rolled over, his body hovering over you with each of his arms on either side of your head. He pressed himself down on top of you, kissing you deeply until he finished. You moved your hands up his back as he fell on the bed next to you and brushed through your hair with his hand. Looking at you with a smile you turned to lay close to him. With your head in the crook of his neck, you heard him whisper before you both drifted off to sleep, “sweet dreams, my love”.

@monstroso (separate post for the other ship)

Send me a ship for the ship bingo chart: Sally Boyle / Anton Verloc ( We Happy Few )

I feel like I’m going to make some people mad with this one considering the general fandom discourse about these two, but I actually love these two and think that under different circumstances they could have had a much healthier relationship, and I think that it was less of an abusive relationship and more of a mutually toxic relationship. 

I’ve talked about their relationship previously, so I’m actually just going to copy back what I wrote before, since I’m not sure I can say it any better than I already did, and then add a little more, so buckle up, folks! I have so many Thoughts™

In a lot of ways they’re terrible for each other. Verloc is obsessed with his work and sometimes loses sight of the humanity of his subjects in his pursuit of scientific discovery. Sally always puts herself first, in every decision she ever makes, and has no qualms about using people to get what she wants/needs. They both want to be the smartest person in the room at all times, and that definitely causes conflicts. 

However, they also really get each other on this deep intellectual level. They can keep up with each other in a way hardly anyone else can and that scientific discovery shit gets them turnt. Both of them have a tendency to dive into their work to an obsessive degree which works for them, because it’s mutual. Long hours at the lab, even talking about work when at home. They live and breath chemistry and have chemistry with each other because of that - not to mention the mutual attraction. 

There’s a reason Sally stayed with him for as long as she did. In fact, the only reason she left was Gwen. If not for Gwen, she probably would have stayed, despite how mutually toxic their relationship had become. It’s hard to say how much of the degradation of their relationship was their individual issues and how much of it was the increasing stress put on them by the state of Wellington Wells. With the Executive Committee, the General, the Doctors, and the Constabulary constantly breathing down their necks for the latest Joy solution, the stress must have been insane. There’s less and less room for fun banter and exciting discoveries. It all gradually becomes a race against the clock with their dwindling resources. When you already have issues in the relationship, that kind of stress diminishes what little room may have existed for working those issues out. And when neither of them have healthy ways of dealing with that stress, it makes sense that he would start to take it out on her. And it makes sense that she would start to resent him. And it makes sense that all the toxic aspects of their relationship would amplify ten fold. 

But what if things had been different? What if they’d had the space to work things out? What if they could learn to be a healthier couple? Or what if they even could have kept cruising along like they were at the start? I think they could have been a good couple, if things had been different, because they really did work together, and they really did understand each other, and they really did care about each other.

It’s important to remember that much of what we hear about their relationship is from Sally’s perspective and, as we know, Sally is an unreliable narrator. In fact, some of what she says about Verloc is actively contradicted by other sources in the game. There’s little things like Sally remarking how fashionable he was when they met and how she was just some innocent girl who got swept up by this dashing scientist… while an old edition of So Mod Magazine credits Sally for teaching him how to dress. Sally refers to Verloc as a psychopath, painting him as unfeeling and cold. Meanwhile, Verloc is out here pulling out Sally’s old letters and re-reading them while downing martinis (as seen by the empty glasses and the old letters in the lab during Arthur’s act). We see from old notes around Haworth Labs that there was affection between them, even if they didn’t have the healthiest relationship. But it’s easier for Sally to paint her ex as an emotionally abusive psychopath than to admit any degree of fault. (to be clear, I’m not saying that it is a victim’s fault if they are abused, I’m saying that this wasn’t an instance of abuse to begin with) 

I find the concept of a timeline where for some reason Sally stayed at Haworth Labs while having Gwen to be intriguing. Byng has a poor opinion of Verloc and implies that he would see a baby as a perfect test subject, but this is based on Byng’s perception of what happened between Verloc and Haworth, his brief interactions with Verloc over the years (Verloc primarily worked with Victoria, not the General), and the benefit of painting Verloc in such a light in that moment when he’s trying to convince Sally to send Gwen away to the mainland and be his safe-house girlfriend. 

I imagine Verloc would rather see Gwen as a mild curiosity, but mostly an inconvenience. She would very much be “Sally’s daughter” kept out of sight and out of mind. That is, until Gwen starts showing real promise in regard to science as she grows up a little (in a scenario where Wellington Wells doesn’t collapse), in which case it may become “OUR daughter” so he can take credit for her smarts and train her up as a scientist. Fresh perspective and ideas? In this  economy?? Either that, or he still wouldn’t acknowledge her as his daughter, but would take a more proactive role in her education at least. But that’s all AU conjecture rather than the canon. 

Look I could talk about these two for ages, so I’m going to close up here before this gets any longer than it is, but thanks so much for sending this ship in! I really need to write and draw more content for these two because they are so fascinating and underdiscussed.

#hnnngggg I could write so much more on these two but this post is getting too long #we happy few #whf #anton verloc #sally boyle #[sketchbook] #they're just two messed up people in a messed up place having a messy relationship and i love them

Road Trip

Summary: Too many hours in the car lead to boredom, which leads to you misbehaving

Warnings: smut, semi public sex, car sex, 18+

A/N: unedited little blurb as I’m currently stuck in a car 😅 excuse any typos

Rudy finally had some time off from work, planning a road trip to go and visit some friends throughout the US. You got up early, barely awake since you hated being up before the sun, and loaded everything into his car. He drove first, knowing you didn’t like driving in the dark. With his right hand resting on your thigh the miles passed quickly at first, making it through a few states in what felt like no time at all while you chatted about random topics.

Four hours in though you started to get extremely bored. “Rudy, can I drive please? Gonna go insane without something to do.” He chuckled lightly before agreeing, pulling off at a gas station so you both could stretch your legs and switch off. Throwback playlist blasting out of the speakers, cruising down the highway, you finally felt slightly better. It didn’t last long though, your mind wandered before landing on a naughty idea. You innocently placed your right hand on Rudy’s thigh, softly tracing patterns over his skin. He thought nothing of it, absentmindedly scrolling through his phone while enjoying your touch.

Your hand ghosted higher under his gym shorts, finding the bottom of his boxers and making your way underneath. You had his attention now, stern look on his face as his baby blues locked on you. “What do you think you’re doing?” You gave him an innocent smile, “Just playing around baby, I’m bored and you’re ignoring me.” “Pay attention to the road, you can play with me later,” he replies with a smirk, picking his phone back up. Annoyed now you grab ahold of his length, surprised to find it half hard already. Before he can protest you start stroking him, glancing over to see he’s biting his bottom lip trying to hold in his moans, head tipped back and eyes shut. He let’s you continue for a few minutes, soft sounds of pleasure falling from his lips. “Pull over, now.” His eyes are darker now, lust blown and voice full of authority. You decide to obey, taking the next exit and following his instructions until you find yourselves on a secluded road, pulling over onto the shoulder.

“Get in the back.” He doesn’t wait to see if you listen, climbing out and getting into the back himself. You scramble out of the drivers seat, quickly making your way onto the back seat as Rudy shoves you down, resting on his elbows hovering above you. The space is tight but you don’t care, already soaked and desperate for release. “Gotta be fast baby, think you can do that?” “Yes Ru- please just get inside me already.” He kisses you hungrily, tongue diving into your mouth as you grind your hips up against his cock. He moans and you’re in heaven, loving the sounds he makes. His hand finds your panties, pulling them to the side and letting out a gasp at how wet you are. “Jesus princess, I haven’t even touched you yet.” You whimper as he starts rubbing your clit in circles, wanting to make sure you’re ready for him.

He frees his cock, sliding through your folds and gathering wetness before pushing inside. You moan in unison, back already arching at the feeling of him stretching you out. He sets a quick pace, more or less just rocking back and forth into you, confined space too small for big thrusts. He braces his hands on the door behind you, gaining as much leverage as possible to fuck you hard and fast. The windows steam up, skin glistening with sweat as he brings you closer to the edge. “Rub your clit baby, make yourself cum for me.” With a groan you follow his instructions, falling apart with a cry just a few moments later. He seizes your lips in another kiss, hips stuttering as he pumps you full of cum. “Now do you think you can behave until we make it to our hotel?” He straightens his clothes before helping you with yours. You get back up front before giving him a cheeky smile. “No promises.”

Please let me know if you want to be added to my taglist

hawuu could i request druig with “did i scare you?” - “no!” and halloween party

A/N: This is cute cute! Thanks for the request, anon!

Boo!

Summary: You lost your boyfriend at a Halloween House Party. Luckily, he finds you first.

Warnings: Just some fluffy fluff

"Hey! Have any of you seen Druig around here?"

Kingo gave you a questioned look, holding his red solo cup and dressed as Julius Caesar, "I thought he came with you? You lost him already?"

"You know how Druig is," Gilgamesh said in a snort, dressed as a wrestler as he shrugged at you, "You loose him for one second and he'll wander off for the rest of the night."

"That does not help me," You commented.

"Last time I saw him, he drifted over to the back out to the yard," Kingo explained, making you smile and move on while Kingo spoke on, "At least make sure he doesn't scale the house again!"

"That was one time," Gilgamesh snorted as you were weaving through the crowd of people, clad in costumes from head to toe, as Monster Mash was blaring in the background and the stench of light beer and stale candy was filling your lungs. Your own outfit, a bad attempt of being Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz with a whicker basket and rugby converse shoes to boot. Kingo was throwing this party at his house, showing a massive turnout of fellow classmates from the college down the street. It was a fun party, but you were missing out on your boyfriend.

The ever loner in your group.

"Jesus, Druig," You grumbled as you were moving through the kitchen, seeing a few kegs being used religiously by some of the jocks and party animals. You could see the back door that lead to the back porch, one of the spots where you knew Druig would hang out from time to time when you both came to hang out at the house. It was a safe haven for your group to go to: Saturday Night movie nights, Tuesday afternoon study sessions, even Sunday morning pancake breakfast around the massive table or out in the yard. You loved this house, even with a bunch of strangers moving around in it.

You were focused on your boyfriend though.

Finally, you made it outside and felt the crisp air on your face and skin, the coolness of the night was inviting in comparison to the heat that was rising in the house thanks to the bodies in there. You could hear the silence of the backyard, only the muted muffled music inside the house was heard along with the rustling leaves from the wind. You shivered a bit, looking around at the darkness of the backyard. Maybe he wasn't out there after all, since there was no real sign of him being there. He had to have snuck into a quieter room since massive parties weren't his scene.

"BOO!"

You yelped, turning around and seeing none other than Druig chuckling at you as he was perched on the railing of the back porch. His costume was of Tom Cruise fro, Top Gun, solely as an excuse to wear his aviators and his leather jacket.

Coming to this party was mostly your idea, since Druig would rather be at either one fo your places reading a good book or having some great snacks from his favorite dive. Plus, he never rubbed off real well with the popular cliques that Kingo and Ikaris were involved in, mostly because Ikaris was an ass to him. But you promised it would only be for an hour at the most, needing to get some socialization for him. But thankfully, he wasn't as bad as Phastos, who despised parties.

You sighed, leaning against the pillar behind you as Druig cocked his head at you.

"You scared me to death, Druig! Damn you!" You huffed, leaning over to take off his aviators as he grinned wickedly, "And you're outside in pitch black, there's no need for these on your face!" "Eh, they make me seem mysterious," He hummed, though his blue orbs were shining under the porch light, "Besides, it was getting too rowdy in there for my taste any who,"

"Which is why I came out to find you. Gil said you would be out here, and I had to check on you and make sure you weren't setting anything on fire," you explained, walking over to stand in front of him as he was still perched on the railing, peering down at him and grinning from ear to ear. It was nice to have him alone, even outside in a crisp autumn evening and a party roaring inside the house.

Druig stayed still, but as you were leaning a bit closer to him, breathing in his deodorant and the sweat on his clothes, along with the leather on his jacket and the small scent of beer on his lips, it made your head spin for a moment.

"Why Dorothy, are you trying to make advances on little ol' me?" He asked, his cocky grin was back on his face as you raised on eyebrow at him, "I would never," You replied in your best Dorothy voice, Druig chuckling as you reached up to rearrange his collar on his leather jacket, "How about we blow this joint and get some real food in your stomach, not this cheap beer Kingo opted for,"

"It's only been twenty minutes," Druig reminded you, though he grinned as you shrugged.

"The party blows anywho," You explained, Druig eyeing you up and down before he nodded his head.

"Sounds great, M'Lady," he replied, hopping down from the railing to land on his feet before he leaned in to give you one swooping kiss. You grinned against his lips, feeling one of his arms go around your shoulders and the other framing your face. You loved how he kissed you like this, passionate and yet gentle at the same time. From the first time you kissed on the University lawn last year, he would take your breath away every time.

"Come on, Dorothy, let grab some food and go back to your place," He joked with you, lacing your hands together and you both walked down the back porch steps.

"We should tell Kingo we're leaving," You reasoned, but you were following him willingly as he took out his phone to text the host. He tapped a few times, making the message short as he was humming to himself.

"There, done," He replied, sending the message as he shoved his phone in his pocket. You both walked down the hallway, your head on his shoulder while he kept a arm around your You were about to go onto the sidewalk when you head the front door open abruptly.

"YA'LL BARELY STAYED FOR 20 MINUTES!"

"Goodnight, Kingo!" Druig said behind the pair of you, you giggling as the front door slammed shut and you walked amongst the fallen leaves on the ground. As the moon was making its' way higher above the top of the trees, you are feeling warm and soothed without being congested at the party itself. Sure you were having a good time.

But your night was better with Druig.

The End.

Autumn Prompts

Fang-tastic Revelations: Unveiling the Universe with a Vampire’s Charm

Hey there, fellow nocturnal knowledge seekers! We're here to spill some seriously spooky cosmic beans about a topic that's darker than your favorite goth band's wardrobe. Picture this: an article so cool it could only be narrated by the prince of darkness himself, Dracula. Yeah, you read that right! 🦇

So, let’s sink our teeth into this, shall we? Imagine cruising through the cosmos on a moonless night, unraveling mysteries that are more elusive than a ghost at a daytime pool party. That's what this article is all about – it's a moonlit escapade into the heart of dark matter! It's like your favorite horror movie met a science documentary, and they had a brainy, blood-curdling baby.

We’re talking about a subject so enigmatic, it makes your crush's mixed signals seem straightforward. Dark matter is not your usual stroll in the park (or in our case, the graveyard). It’s like trying to catch a whisper in the wind or pinning down the shadow of a swiftly flying bat – practically impossible, but oh so thrilling!

And who better to guide us through this eerie expedition than our favorite Transylvanian count, Dracula? He's swapping his usual bloodlust for knowledge-thirst and taking us under his wing (pun totally intended) through the cosmic unknown. This isn't just about twinkling stars and galaxies; it's about the invisible forces that hold our universe together – like a cosmic glue that prefers to stay in the dark. Spooky, right?

But here’s the twist – even Dracula’s keen vampire senses can't see this stuff. It’s that stealthy! We're venturing into the shadowy corners and hidden chambers of space where dark matter lurks, unseen yet unmistakable, like a vampire in his cloak. It's all about the unseen forces and ghostly phenomena that shape the cosmos, much like how a good horror story shapes your nightmares.

This article isn't just a bunch of fancy space talk; it's a wild ride through the galaxies with a vampire as our tour guide. Forget about stargazing – we’re shadow-hunting. We're diving (oops, not that word!) into the mysteries of dark matter and its gravitational gymnastics, all narrated by the one and only Dracula. It’s science, but with fangs and a cape.

So, if you're ready to explore the darker side of the universe, where the unseen is king and every discovery is a step closer to unraveling cosmic secrets, this is your ticket to the show. Don your blackest cloak, grab your telescope, and join us on this chilling, thrilling, absolutely un-killable journey through the night sky!

Remember, in the world of dark matter, the night is always young, and the mysteries are as endless as Dracula's lifespan. Let's venture into this shadowy soiree of science and see what lurks in the cosmic corners where even the stars dare not shine! 🌌🧛‍♂️✨

Vampire Suggestions: Movies and TV

For my babes who want to get into vampires but don't know where to start. Here are some of my personal recommendations.

Vampires are a very fun genre to get into especially in films imo, you get ranges from romance, to comedy, to drama, to sinister. I really recommend looking into vampire folklore as well, I love the many interpretations of vampires across the country, but in my experience, having background knowledge of the folklore/history makes these films more enjoyable. (this is just my personal preference, you ofc don't have to do this)

What We Do in the Shadows (2014 film) and (2019) show. They are both mockumentary comedies, but I think they're really good and very humorous. The characters are more fitting to classic vampire stereotypes but I think that's what makes it more enjoyable

Interview with a Vampire (1994), I also strongly recommend the book written by Anne Rice. Although I am not the biggest Tom Cruise fan, he is how I pictured Lestat

Van Helsing (2004) Focuses more on Hugh Jackman and hunting vampires, I loved how the vampires were portrayed in this film

Castlevania (2017) people are usually hesitant when I recommend this one because it is an anime, but Castlevania is one of the franchises that really sucked me into vampires. Gothic Horror/Literature is such a perfect mix with vampires, especially when religious elements are tied in as well.

If you want something more in the 'teen romance' part, I suggest *The Vampire Diaries (*TVD), it is a bit dated, and it is one of those 'love it or hate it' series. But I think if given the chance you could potentially really like it. It obviously has a little more than romance, but the main love triangle was what I was there for. (you could also watch the spin-off series called The Originals, I preferred this one a little bit more especially if you wish to know more about the originals )

I also really recommend looking at the suggestions on this article, if you are looking for vampire romance films that AREN'T Twilight (no judgement on those who enjoy the series, I enjoyed it when I was younger, I just don't really have the same feelings towards it now)

If you want more recent films:

Midnight Mass (2021) This series was a little bit scarier than the other ones I have recommended (I didn't know if you had any limits so I thought I would lay this one out here). But it also falls under a Gothic horror in a way, like I said before when I suggested Castlevania, Religion, gothic horror, and vampires are such a good mix, and you can really see it shine in this series

Dracula (2020) I love retellings or Bram Stokers Dracula (if you have not read the book or know much of Vlad the Impaler, I strongly recommend doing a little deep dive on him). This retelling was a lot more modern and I really loved Claes Bang's acting, I am such a stickler for Dracula's because imo Christopher Lee will always be number 1.

**Note: I did not recommend Christopher Lee's Dracula Films because they are a little older, and I know that some people do not have the patience for older films. However I will be happy to Link them here**

The Invitation (2022) Although I didn't really enjoy this film as much as I hoped I would, I still am going to put it down because I know some people really did like it. It is a bit of a build up, but I don't want to spoil it for you

I hope that some of these recommendations you enjoy, I saw some of the other recommendations on here and they are all so good. Personally I think a big plus in the Vampire community/genre is that there are so many interpretations of vampires and there are so many forms in media that you can really dip your toes into all of it and pick and choose what you like from the batch. I hope you look into a bunch and Happy hunting !

[a-ladyman-in-waiting]

Randos on the street

A little prompt.

In a time that Madeline’s image has started to circulate around the web, people started looking for answers.

Although, the Dragonkin to be is certainly unhappy with the amount of eyes prying outside their windows and on top of rooftops.

Especially after the ruckus two days ago…

—

Brendon (daytime form) was in a rush to catch the train to get home quickly for personal reasons.

Running through the crowds, he accidentally bumped into a woman carrying groceries.

“Sorry!” He exclaimed while looking back, doing his best to avoid anyone else.

As he ran up the stairs, he overheard curse words and perhaps a slur in his direction. As much as it frightened him, he continued to run through the turn-tables with the swift train card access.

And then he scampered to the platform, ready to board the train.

But it didn’t arrive yet.

In fact, he walked around the platform to look for the next scheduled train, only to find that it would be 5 more minutes.

He looked around again, anxious to see if anyone had followed him.

Just then, he caught the glimpse of the same woman that he bumped into earlier, accompanied by a large man.

Thanks to his enhanced vision, he could see the scowl on his face.

Brendon began to hide behind the stairs.

Fearing the worst, he used an ability to pinpoint the soul of the angry man to avoid a confrontation.

But as he thought the worst, he accidentally bumped into another person.

As he turned to apologize, they immediately shouted, “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?”

“FUCKING [BEEP] ALWAYS FUCKING BUMPING INTO ME.”

An angry woman started berating Brendon, terrifying him inside.

All that Brendon wanted to do is just slowly back away, so they took slow subtle steps as the woman continued berating him.

Suddenly, Brendon felt the aura of the angry man.

He was close behind him.

With only a few seconds to react, he did what he could only do:

He made an illusion of himself while disappearing simultaneously.

He quickly sneaked around the staircase using his quiet footwork.

He went up the stairs to ran across the station the other staircase, where he entered the train from there.

After that, he tried listening to music to calm himself down, all the while shaking.

—

Brendon, now as Madeline, was still shaken up from the whole thing.

So they stayed in their room for an hour before deciding to fly out for the night.

Once the clock struck 1 AM, they leapt out of the window and flew around the city to joyride around the skyscrapers.

Madeline took a long dive to gain speed, where they loop-de-looped, they barrel rolled, and they flew upside down for a brief moment.

Until it was time to take a small cruise towards a rooftop to have lunch, they packed a sandwich, a bag of chips and a bottle of soda in a pocket dimension earlier.

After some time had passed, they slowed down and perched on a ledge, placing Light Discs under their feet once they sat down.

Now it was time to prepare their lunch experience;

They pulled their meal from the pocket dimension, gave their prayers, then dug in to the California Chicken sandwich. Then they took a swig of their soda and opened their small bag of Dorito chips, just before they begin enjoying the view.

It didn’t take long for Madeline to disassociate from her surroundings, their legs bouncing around, their tail wagging around, and her mind drifting around the clouds.

It was a good time.

—

Several minutes had gone by when they started eating and they were in the middle of an imaginary scenario.

However, a familiar looking figure had begun to walk up the staircase, angrily muttering to themselves.

“Dumbass internet, breaking every goddamn time.”

Then as they stormed to the top of the staircase and opened the door, she spotted Madeline, who jolted and looked back.

Madeline’s heart sank, it was the woman from 2 days ago. The angry one that she bumped into, when she locked eyes with him.

They both locked eyes again, the terrible habit that often got Brendon into a trouble.

“Oh my god, there’s a crazy ass bitch sitting on the rooftop. They have a fuckin costume and everything.”

Madeline began to shove the sandwich into her mouth, placing the trash into the plastic bag with the bag of chips and the soda.

“Hey, HEY! Who said you could leave?”

The woman pulled out her smartphone to record Madeline and started running.

Madeline shoved the bag into the pocked dimension and prepared to jump.

”Oh no you don’t!!”

The woman had ran halfway into the rooftop when Madeline leapt from the ledge and spread her wings.

She managed to capture Madeline gliding around the streets before flying back up a few stories.

“Holy fuck, I just found the crazy ass girl flying around the city.”

She stopped recording and went to fix their internet.

—

Madeline, shaken up even more, took solace in the Lake of Tears, where they cried.

to be continued.

[poisoned-ai-data]

Rescuers Down Under Script

opening: The camera slowly zooms through a variety of insects and rocks. We follow a small yellow bug climb up a blade of grass. As it spreads its wings to fly, we are whisked along the Australian outback and prairie by Ayers rock and eventually slow down as we approach Cody's house.

scene: inside Cody's room. The camera pans around to show Cody sleeping in his hammock. The sound of Faloo's call is heard. Cody hears it, jumps out of bed, and runs to the window. He puts on his shirt and grabs his knife.

scene: Cody sneaks past his mother who is in the kitchen listening to the radio.

Announcer:

... thundershowers are expected in the Crocodile Falls area and some of the surrounding gullies so take out your...

scene: Outside Cody's house. Cody leaves the house, and closes the door behind him, but not quietly.

Mom:

[from inside upon hearing the door] Cody!

Cody:

[whincing] Yeah mom?

Mom:

What about your breakfast?

Cody:

I've got some sandwiches in my pack.

Mom:

Well be home for supper.

Cody:

[hopping the gate] No worries mom.

scene: Cody runs toward the forest; Faloo's call is heard in the background. He runs past some rock formations and enters the woods. Birds follow him; and squak at him.

Cody:

[to the birds] I know, I'm coming. [Cody jumps over a hollow log] Hustle up Nelson, Faloo's sounding the call! [Cody slides through a log, picks up a stick, and beats on the roof of the wombats home.] C'mon little wombats, hurry! [Cody continues to run through the forest with all of the animals following him.] [Cody arrives at the tree where Faloo has been sounding the call.] [to Faloo] Who's caught this time?

Faloo:

You don't know her, Cody, her name is Marahute, the great golden eagle.

Cody:

Where is she?

Faloo:

She's caught, high on a cliff in a poacher's trap. You're the only one who can reach her.

Cody:

I'll get her loose.

Faloo:

Right-oh, hop on, no time to lose. [Cody hops onto Faloo and they travel through the forest and along a stream/river; more scenes of animals and the forest.] [They arrive at the cliff.] [pointing up towards the cliff] She's up on top of that ridge. Be careful lit'l friend.

scene: various "time lapse" views of Cody climbing up the cliff.

[Cody reaches the top and sees the eagle.]

Cody:

Marahute! [Cody looks at the eagle; he approaches her slowly; she hears him and wakes up; Marahute screeches and struggles to get free.] [reassuring] Calm down, calm down. I'm not gonna hurt you. [Cody strokes Marahute on the head] That's a girl. Stay still... it's o.k. [Cody gets out his knife; Marahute sees the glint of the knife and begins to struggle and scream] No wait! I'm here to help you... easy!... easy! [Cody cuts two ropes. Cody cuts the last rope to free Marahute.] You're free!! [As Marahute spreads her wings to fly, she knocks Cody off the cliff.] Aaaiigh! [Cody falls; Marahute dives down to catch him; she catches him just before he hits the ground; they begin to fly around; the animals see Cody on Marahute and stand in awe; Marahute files over several rock formations; the fly up above the clouds; Cody looks at his reflection in Marahute's eye.] Higher! [They fly even higher above the clouds; Marahute throws Cody and catches him; Cody is now held in Marahute's talons.] Woah! [Cody mocks an eagle screech; he laughs as Marahute tickles him; they cruise above the clouds which eventually open up to show the ground; Marahute nose dives towards the ground and a stream; she holds Cody just high enough above the water so that he is water skiing; they approach a flock of birds; Marahute lets Cody go and he skims through the birds, scattering them; Marahute grabs Cody just before he falls in and then put Cody right in front of her, on her beak [pushing him from behind]; they go over the egde of a waterfall; Marahute catches Cody again; this time he rides by standing on her back; they arrive at Marahute's nest] Wow! [Cody and Marahute look at each other; Cody falls over as he attempts to look at Marahute upside down. Marahute moves some grass and feathers to show Cody her eggs] You're a mom! [Cody puts his ear to the eggs] They're very warm. Are they gonna hatch soon? [Marahute ruffles her neck feathers in an affectionate manner; she sits on the eggs and then looks out "over her domain".] Where's the daddy eagle? [Marahute drops her head] Oh... my dad's gone too. [Cody give Marahute an affectionate stroke; as they fix the covering on the eggs, the wind picks up and blows a feather in Cody's face; he looks at it, plays with it, and puts it back. Marahute picks it up and gives it to Cody and he gives her a hug.] [Marahute and Cody are now on the ground; Marahute takes off and Cody runs around making flying noises]

scene: just inside the forest. A wanted poster of McLeach is posted on a tree; A mouse is tied up with a bell attached to it that rings as it struggles; Cody hears the bell and goes over to the mouse.

Cody:

Heh heh... hey little fella, what happened to you?

Baitmouse:

[panicking] Oh no! No, no, no, no!! Get away, get away! It's a trap, it's a trap. Be careful, NO!

Cody:

[as the mouse is speaking] Don't worry, I'll get you loose. Woah! [Cody falls into the trap. He looks up to see a blinking light and the alarm.]

scene: McLeach's truck; the radar has a blip on the screen.

McLeach:

[laughs] Got one!!

scene: back in the hole/trap where Cody has fallen.

Baitmouse:

[from the top of the hole] Are you alright?

Cody:

[rubbing his head] Yeah, I think so.

Baitmouse:

Okey-dokey. [he runs off]

Cody:

Wait! Hey! Come back! [Cody tries to climb out; he gets halfway up, grabs a tree root; it breaks and he falls; the baitmouse begins to lower a vine down to help Cody]

Baitmouse:

Here you go, grab on.

Cody:

That's great, just a little more, a little further... there! I got it. [a rumble is heard and the ground begins to shake.]

Baitmouse:

Uh-oh. [view of McLeach's vehicle trampling through the forest disturbing everything]

Baitmouse:

Yipe! [The vine is severed as McLeach's truck comes to a screeching halt; Cody falls; the truck opens; Joanna leans over pit and growls; Cody yells]

McLeach:

[unseen, approaching the trap] Well Joanna, what'd we get today? A dingo, a fat ol' razorback, or a nice big.... [he sees Cody] boy?!? [McLeach thinks for a second, gives a dirty look to Joanna and kicks her.] Joanna, you been diggin' holes out here again?? [mumbling to himself] Dumb lizard always tryin' to bury squirrels out here.

Cody:

Unh-unh. It's a trap, and poachin's against the law.

McLeach:

Trap?! Where'd you get an idea like that?? Boy I think you've been down in that hole for too long. [he holds his gun out so that Cody can grab it] Well c'mon, grab ahold. We'll get you out of this little ol' lizard hole and you can just run along home. [Joanna has spotted the baitmouse on Cody's backpack. She hisses and makes a face.]

Cody:

This IS a poacher's trap and YOU'RE a poacher. [The mouse ducks back into the backpack; Joanna jumps on Cody, knocking McLeach into the hole; his gun goes off; Joanna begins to attach Cody's backpack.] [to Joanna] Let go!! Hey get off of me!!

McLeach:

I'm gonna kill her. [climbing out of the hole] I'm gonna kill that dumb, slimey, egg-sucking salamander.

Cody:

Cut it out! Get off of me! [Joanna continues to attack the backpack; McLeach picks up his gun; he points it at Joanna; looking through gun scope McLeach aims at Joanna, she tries to get out of his view; as she does this, McLeach spots the feather in Cody's pack; he picks up Cody by his backpack.]

McLeach:

Hmmm.... good girl Joanna. [Joanna looks up and grins happily.] [to Cody] Say where'd you get this pretty feather boy?

Cody:

[humbly] It was a present.

McLeach:

[coddling] Oh, that's real nice. Who gave it to ya?

Cody:

[stumbling] It's a s... secret.

McLeach:

That's no secret boy, you see, [menacing] I already got the father. [makes a cutting sound and draws a feather across his neck like he was slashing a throat]. He, he he. You just tell me where momma and those little eggs are. [Cody breaks free from McLeach by slipping out of his backpack.]

Cody:

NO!!

McLeach:

Joanna, sick 'em! [Cody runs through forest with Joanna close behind; he enters an open area where we see a waterfall and water; Cody stops right at the edge of the small cliff that drops into the water [Crocodile Falls]; Joanna follows close behind; Cody reaches into his pocket and pulls out his knife; he drops it; McLeach steps on his hand.]

McLeach:

You're comin' with me boy.

Cody:

My mom'll call the rangers!

McLeach:

[sarcastically] Oh no.... not the rangers, what'll I do?? What'll I do??! Don't let your mom call the rangers!! Please don't!! [Joanna laughs] [McLeach laughs] [McLeach throws Cody's backpack into the river] My poor baby boy got eaten by the crocodiles, boo-hoo-hoo! Let's go boy!

Cody:

[from inside McLeach's cage] Help! Help! [The baitmouse sees Cody in the cage; he runs to the local RAS telegraph office; it begins to rain and wind is blowing; he bursts through the door as the telegraph mouse is eating.]

Baitmouse:

[very fast and excited] Help, help, help!! Someone help! McLeach took the boy. He took the little boy. Send for help!! [The telegraph mouse begins typing the message in morse code; camera pans up to roof, where other mice aim the antenna; message is seen being relayed to the Marshall Islands] [In a wrecked plane on the Marshall Islands, a mouse listens to the morse code message; he recognizes the distress call, activates the controls on the plane, and relays message to Hawaii.] [Message is seen being relayed to Hawaii. Screens fill with RAS RAS RAS. Mice are watching through binoculars in the back. The send a signal to other mice. They dial the phone to distract guard. Phone rings. Guard leaves. Mice take over, type [jump] on keyboard and read message. "RAS... RAS... ATTENTION BOY KIDNAPPED IN AUSTRALIA IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED" They type "Relay to New York".] [Message then journeys across the ocean to Los Angeles, then to Denver, St. Louis, Chicago, Washington D. C. and then New York.]

scene: It is winter in New York; through the clouds, the camera descends upon the UN building; a mouse is listening to the transmission at the RAS headquarters in New York

Mouse:

Code red, code red!! Attention all Rescue Aid Society delegates, all delegates please report immediately to the main assembly hall. This is an emergency meeting. I repeat, this is a code red emergency meeting!! [the delegates have been assembling as the announcement was being made]

scene: inside the RAS meeting hall

Chairmouse:

Order! Order! Yes, yes I know it's late but I'm... oh really! Sir Charles. Hello, hello Frank, how are you, nice to see you! And Esmerelda, there you are! Ha ha.. all right, quiet now please, everyone pay attention. There has been a kidnapping in Australia. [delegates gasp] A young boy needs our help. This is a mission requiring our very finest, and I know we are all thinking of the same two mice. [everyone looks to the seats of Hungary and USA, which are empty] [delegates gasp again.] What's this?!? Gone? We must find Bernard and Miss Bianca at once!

scene: a posh restaurant

[as a waiter walks by a pillar/column in the restaurant, a pea drops on the floor; a cricket comes out of the column and picks it up.]

Cricket:

Oh.... pea soup. [With an elaborate contraption, he launches the pea up the column where it drops into a thimble-pot of the cook]

Cricket cook:

Pea soup! [A waiter cricket comes along and picks up the soup; the scene changes to the chandelier over the restaurant and we see a mini-restaurant above the real one.]

Bianca:

To my dear Bernard, and our wonderful partnership.

Bernard:

[nervous and fumbling] Ah... yeah.. yeah.. ah.. won... wonderful.

Bianca:

You've been very quiet this evening, is there something on your mind?

Bernard:

Well, ummm... actually... I, ah... I was wondering.... [he reaches into his pocket.]

Bianca:

Yes darling?

Bernard:

I... Miss Bianca would you.... would you... [the ring falls through a hole in Bernard's pocket onto the floor] would you excuse me for a minute? [Bernard chases the ring across the floor; he crawls around, sees it, and just as he goes to grab it, a waiter kicks it under another table; Francois arrives at their table.]

Francois:

[French accent] Pardonnez moi, mademoiselle Bianca, I have important news. [He hands her a piece of paper.]

Bianca:

Yes Francois? What is it?

Francois:

You and Bernard have been asked to accept a dangerous mission to Australia.

Bianca:

[reading message] Oh the poor boy. This is dreadful. Now where is Bernard I must tell him at once!

Francois:

Allow me madame, I will tell him immediately. [Bernard is seen under a table retrieving ring; the ring finds its way onto the foot of a rather large woman mouse who is having dinner with a rather nerdy looking man mouse; as Bernard removes the ring from her foot, she think the man mouse is playing footsie with her and smacks the man mouse.]

Bernard:

[practicing] Miss Bianca, will you marry me? Miss Bianca, will you please marry me?

Francois:

[as Bernard practices] Quickly monsieur Bernard! I must speak with you....

Bernard:

Not now Francois, I'm busy!

Francois:

No, no, no, no, monsieur you don't...... [As Francois attempts to follow Bernard he collides with another cricket watier and falls on his back; various crickets run to help him.] [Bernard returns to the table]

Bianca:

Bernard, did you talk to Francois?

Bernard:

Ah yes, but uh.. there's... there's something I want ......

Bianca:

I know exactly what you're going to say. Francois told me all about it.

Bernard:

He did? How, how... how did he ...

Bianca:

Oh it doesn't matter, I think it's a marvelous idea.

Bernard:

[shocked] You do? I mean, you... you really want to?

Bianca:

I don't think it's a matter of wanting, it's a matter of duty.

Bernard:

D-duty? I... I never thought of it, well, umm... all righ.... all right. How does... how does next ah-April sound to you?

Bianca:

Heavens no! We must act immediately, tonight! [she leaves the restaurant with Bernard close behind]

Bernard:

Tonight? But, but, ah.. wait! Uh, Bianca, this is so sudden, I mean, don't you at least need a gown or something?

Bianca:

No, just a pair of khaki shorts and some hiking boots!

Bernard:

Hiking boots?

scene: in the RAS meeting hall

Chairmouse:

Ah, there you are, come along, come along.

Bianca:

Delegates, we have an important announcement. Bernard and I have decided, [pause] to accept the mission to Australia.

Bernard:

[surprised] Australia?

Chairmouse:

Oh good show! Now, you must fly out immediately! It's a little nippy outside, but we won't let that stop us, will we? What? [laughs]

scene: on top of a building, snow and wind blowing all around

Bernard:

[yelling] Miss Bianca, I'm not sure it's such a good idea to... to fly this soon after eating!

Bianca:

Darling you'll be just fine!

Bernard:

But aren't, aren't you supposed to wait 45 minutes?

Bianca:

[annoyed] Oh, just knock on the door and see if Orville is there!!

Bernard:

[knocks slightly] [quickly] Well, nobody's home, let's go. [Bernard gets buried with snow]

Bianca:

Bernard!! [scodling] This is no time to play in the snow.

Bernard:

I wasn't playing in the snow. It... it was an avalanche.

Bianca:

Oh look Bernard! [reading the sign] Under new management, see Wilbur. C'mon darling, let's get a move out!

scene: inside Wilbur's hangar; Wilbur is seen singing and dancing along with some music

Bianca:

Yoo-hoo! Mr. Wilbur! Hello?

Bernard:

Look out!! Excuse me!

Bianca:

Bernard DO something! He can't hear us! [Bernard "struggles" to get to the boom box and Wilbur continues to dance.]

Wilbur:

[singing] The girls all look [music stops] when I go by..... Hey, who killed the music?!?

Bernard:

That's better.

Bianca:

Excuse us for interrupting, we're from the Rescue Aid Society. I am Miss Bianca...

Wilbur:

[interrupting] Miss Bianca!?!

Bianca:

and this is my....

Wilbur:

[still interrupting] THE Miss Bianca? I don't believe it. My brother Orville told me ALL about you, oh boy, I... this is an honor to have.... may I just say enceinte senorita to you? May I? [kisses her hand]

Bernard:

Ahem. [deliberately] We need to charter a flight.

Wilbur:

Well, you've come to the right place, buddy boy, welcome to [pause] "Albatross Air" - a fair fare from here to there. [laughs] Get it? A fair fare? It's a... a play on... nevermind, I've got tons of exotic destinations, far away places, custom designed for [in a seductive voice] "romantic weekend getaways". [laughs] As well as the finest in-flight accomodations. Speaking of which, what can I get ya? [fumbles, searches through his cooler] How about a nice mango-Maui cooler? Very, very nice, very tasty....

Bianca:

No thank you...

Wilbur:

Or a ah..... [fumbles about] Coconut guava nectar? It's carbonated. Very nice. I got little umbrellas for each one of them and a little coconut thing....

Bianca:

No, it's urgent that we leave immediately!

Wilbur:

[disappointed] Nothing? Nothing at all?

Bernard:

[dismayed] Wilbur.

Wilbur:

How about a cream soda?

Bernard:

Now look, we need a flight to Australia.

Wilbur:

Australia? The Land Down Under? That's a fabulous idea! So when can I pencil you in? Ah... after spring thaw? You know, mid-June would be very nice.

Bianca:

Oh know, we must leave TONIGHT.

Wilbur:

[spits out his drink] TONIGHT? [coughs and laughs] C'mon you're kiddin' me right? [laughs] Have you looked outside? [he opens the window] It's suicide out there! Oh-ho, oh no. OH NO....I'm afraid your jolly little holiday will have to wait. [laughs] What a bunch of jokers.

Bianca:

But you don't understand, a boy needs our help, he's in trouble.

Wilbur:

A boy? You mean, a little kid kinda boy?

Bianca:

He was kidnapped.

Wilbur:

Kidnapped? [remorseful] Aw... that... that's awful. Lockin' up a little kid. A kid should be free. Free to run wild through the house on Saturday mornings, [gathering strength] free to have cookies and milk, and get those little white moustaches, you know, with the..... [determined] NOBODY'S gonna take a kid's freedom away while I'm around, nobody, do you hear me?!?

Bianca:

Does that mean you'll take us?

Wilbur:

[with conviction] Storm or no storm, Albatross Airlines, at your service!! [Wilbur salutes] [scene changes to Bernard and Bianca on Wilbur's back] Passengers are requested to please fasten their seat belts and secure all carry-ons. We'll be departing following our standard pre-flight maintenance. Thank you. [Wilbur begins to exercise] Yeah, loosen up, get the blood flowin' up to the head, annnnnd, couple of these....oh! [tries to do a push-up] O.k. one's enough, here we go. Oh! Ah yeah!! That feels better. Oh baby. Tie your kangaroos down sports fans, here, we, COME! [opens hangar doors, gets blown back by wind] Yeah, let's go for it!! Woah! Hey! Woah! Hey, I didn't adjust for the winds. All right we're gonna make it!! I just gotta duck down a little lower, that's all. Go under the wind, go under it! Here we go [screams]!! Ow this is cold! Slippery! Ice! Ice! We got ice! We got ice! Oh hang on now!! Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!!! HERE WE GO!! COWABUNGA!!!!!!! [Wilbur dives for the street; "flies" just in time to miss the ground.]

Bianca:

Captain, is this a non-stop flight to Australia??

Wilbur:

Well, ah...not exactly no, I could definitely say no. We're gonna have to make connections with a bigger bird. [aside] Non-stop? What do I look like, Charles Lindburgh??

scene: McLeach driving his vehicle with Cody in the cage in the Australian outback.

Cody:

[pounding on the cage] Lemme outta here!! Lemme go!! You can't do this!! Help! Help! Help!

McLeach:

[on speaker] Breaker, breaker, little mate. I forgot to tell ya around here, you need to be QUIET!! [Cody trips] Or the rangers might hear ya. Now sit down and relax, enjoy the view. [laughs] Nothin' but abandoned opal mines as far as the eye can see. And dead ahead, is home sweet home. [begins singing] [from a distance] Home, home on the range. Where the critters are tied up in chains. I cut through their sides, and I rip off their hides. And the next day I do it again. Everybody! Home, home on the range.....

scene: long shot of Cody's house

Mom:

Cody! Cody! Cody!

scene: cargo hold of airplane; Wilbur, Bernard, and Miss Bianca are sleeping on an airplane tire.

Announcer:

[heard from inside of plane] Ladies and gentlemen, Flight 12 is now approaching Sydney airport, make sure you pick up your parcels and packages and enjoy your stay in Australia. [Miss Bianca wakes up, gives Bernard a kiss to wake him up.]

Bernard:

[just waking up] [yawns] Are we there yet?

Bianca:

Yes. You know, perhaps we should wake up Wilbur.

Bernard:

Oh, oh... alright, I'll get him up. [leaning over] Ahhh... Wilbur? [Wilbur is snoring] Wilbur? Wilbur??

Wilbur:

[half awake] Um, yeah, just five more minutes ma. [Wilbur rolls over, trapping Bernard and Bianca]

Bianca and Bernard:

[screams] Wilbur!!

Wilbur:

[groggy] That's all I need, five more minutes.

Bianca:

[pleading] Wilbur?? Are you awake??

Bernard:

Get, get up we're there!!

Wilbur:

O.k. I'm up, I'm up. [he rolls back over]

Bernard:

Watch out you got....

Wilbur:

Bernard:

Here we go again!!

Wilbur:

CANNONBALL!!!!!

Bianca:

Weeee!! [Wilbur "cannonballs" out of the airplane; he runs into a flock of seagulls on his way down and passes the Sydney Opera House.]

Wilbur:

Gang way! Comin' through, mice on board!! Clear the way! Move over madam, there you go! Comin' through sir, thank you. [laughs] Next stop, Mugwomp Flats. Did we lose anyone back there? [laughs].

Bernard:

Miss Bianca, from.. from now on, can't... can't we just take the train?

scene: Mugwomp flats "control tower". Jake and Sparky are playing checkers.

Jake:

Well Sparky, you've had this comin' for a long time. And now, you're gonna get it. Ha! [Jake jumps one of Sparky's pieces; Sparky spits and then jumps a bunch of Jake's pieces.]

Jake:

Hmmm... wise fly. [Sparky laughs]

Wilbur:

[over radio] Mugwomp tower, Mugwomp tower, this is Albatross One Three requesting permission to land. Over?

Jake:

Albatross? [Jake flips over the checkerboard to a chart that has various bird sizes] Let's see... finch, wren, scrub bird, lockeet, freckled duck, culah, kukaberra, parrot, cockatoo, alba... alba...?!?! It's a jumbo!! [into radio] Negative one three, you'll have to turn back, our runway isn't long enough for a bird your size.

Wilbur:

Not long enough?!? Look pal, I can land this thing on a dime!

Bernard:

[heard over radio] Uh... Wilbur, if, if the runway isn't long enough...

Wilbur:

Listen you can't let these radar jockeys push you around. Just leave it to me alright?

Jake:

[into radio] I say again mate, our runway is too short.

Wilbur:

And I say again, MATE, I'm comin' in!!

Jake:

Crazy Yank. Quick Sparky, we gotta find a way to extend the runway. [Jake and Sparky begin to make the runway longer; Jake kicks a cinder block raising part of the roof.]

Wilbur:

Here we go!

Bernard:

We..., we'll never make it!!

Wilbur:

[as he bounces along roof] Hot! Oooh! Ow! Passengers please remain seated until the aircraft comes to a full and complete stop. Thank you. [Jake and Sparky continue to extend the runway; Wilbur lands on an umbrella and spins around.]

Jake:

Quick Sparky, we need to make a drag line! [an elaborate clothesline/hangar/brassiere drag line is constructed; Wilbur is catapulted into the drag line; when he stops, he is "wearing" the bra.]

Wilbur:

[cocky] Don't try and tell ME the runway's too short. Ha! [to Jake] Hold this for me will ya pal? [Wilbur "hands" him the bra which launches Jake backwards.]

Jake:

Bloke oughtta have his wings clipped.

Wilbur:

You captain thanks you for flying Albatross Airlines.....

Jake:

[aside to Sparky] Crazy Yanks. They think they can do any fool thing, without regard for..... [he sees Bianca; becomes starry-eyed; Sparky wonders what happened; looks at Jake; Sparky buzzes in dismay] [being suave] Welcome to Australia ma'am. My name's Jake and if there's any way I can make your stay more pleasant, don't hesitate to ask.

Bianca:

Oh, how kind.

Jake:

Allow me to get that bag for ya.

Bernard:

[struggling] I've a.... I've got a lot of... luggage here...

Wilbur:

Here let me give you a hand with those bags pal, all part of the friendly service here at Albatross Air [Wilbur picks up two of the bags; a crunch is heard] Ow! Oh! Big time hurt! Ah back!! Oh it's out!

Bianca:

Wilbur, are you alright?

Jake:

Don't worry ma'am, I'll handle this. Sparky, you watch the tower, we gotta get this bird to the hospital.

Wilbur:

Oh.... can't go down, can't go up. Oh ! Take the bags, take the bags!

scene: an old military hospital vehicle. Wilbur is being lowered inside by a series of ropes, gears and nursemice.

Nursemice:

Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho!

Wilbur:

Hey, whaddya doin'? Hey, what... what's going on? Wait! Hey wait a minute... just stop everything.

Bianca:

Wilbur, don't worry. We'll come back the moment we find the boy.

Wilbur:

[begging] Wait! Hey! Wait a minute! Don't leave me here, please! I'm feeling much better now. I'm even ready to hit the beaches [laughs]. I'm even ready to mambo. [Wiggles in the restraints].

Bianca:

Doctor, will he be alright?

Doctor:

[consoling] Now, now, my dear. Keep a stiff upper lip. They all come in with a whimper, and leave with a grin. Off with you now. Leave everything to me. Shoo, shoo, off you go. [they leave] Hop to it ladies, we've got a bent bird on our hands. Move, move, move, bustle, bustle, bustle. That's it, ah-ha.

Wilbur:

Will it, will it hurt doc?

Doctor:

Dear boy, you won't feel a thing. [to the nurse mice] Launch the back brace! [the "back brace" [a cane] is "launched" to immobilize Wilbur's back.]

Wilbur:

Hey! Hey wait! Wait! Woah!! I've been skewered.

Doctor:

[cross] I've already missed tea, Mr. Albatross, now don't force me to take drastic measures. You MUST relax.

Wilbur:

Relax?!? I have never been more relaxed in my life!! [begins to get hyper] If I were any more relaxed, I'd be dead!!!

Doctor:

[smug] I'm not convinced. [to the nurse mice] Sixty milligrams!

Nursemice:

Sixty milligrams. [the nursemice fill hypodermic needle with liquid and put it into the chamber of a shotgun.]

Wilbur:

Hey... wha.... are... are you guys crazy? You can't do that to me! I'm an American citizen buddy!!!

Doctor:

Better double it!

Wilbur:

DOUBLE?!?

Nursemice:

Double, coming up! [they load up another needle in the other chamber.]

Wilbur:

Nooo!!

Doctor:

Prepare the albatross for medication.

Wilbur:

Oh, I'm dreamin'... I'm dreamin'!! Come on Wilbur, wake up boy, wake up!!

Doctor:

[giving directions to aim the gun.] Three degrees right.

Wilbur:

Come on!!

Nursemice:

Three degrees right.

Wilbur:

Come on, it's a joke, it's a joke!

Doctor:

Down two degrees.

Wilbur:

Oh no, don't go down two degrees!

Nursemice:

Down two degrees.

Doctor:

Ready!

Wilbur:

No I'm not ready!! No, please!!

Doctor:

Aim!!

Wilbur:

[crying] please don't do this to me......

Doctor:

FIRE!! [the scene changes to outside and we hear the gun fire.]

Wilbur:

Ow, ow, oh. ooo......

scene: Mugwomp Flats; Bernard and Bianca are looking at a map

Bernard:

Now we just.... gotta figure out how to get there.

Jake:

So, ah... you and your umm... husband here on a little outback excursion?

Bianca:

Oh no, no, we're not married.

Bernard:

In fact we're, we're here on a, a top ah.. secret mission. Very... very.. hush, hush.

Jake:

Oh! Gotta rescue that kid McLeach nabbed eh?

Bianca:

Why that's right! How did you know?

Jake:

[he bumps Bernard out of the way] [whispering to Bianca] You'll find it's tough to keep secrets in the outback miss. [outloud] So ah.... which way ya takin'? [looking at Bernard's map.] Suicide trail through Nightmare Canyon, or the shortcut at Satan's ridge?

Bernard:

Su... Suicide trail?

Jake:

Good choice. [dramatically] More snakes, less quicksand. Then once you cross Bloodworm Creek, you're scot free, this is until ummm... Dead Dingo Pass.

Bernard:

[puzzled] Wait, wait, wait a minute, I don't.... I don't see any, any of that, that stuff on the map.

Jake:

A map's no good in the outback! [folding up the map] What you really need is someone, [schmoozing to Bianca] someone who KNOWS the territory.

Bianca:

Oh Mister Jake, will you guide us?

Jake:

At your service! [he bows and shoves the map behind him into Bernard's gut.] Here better take my arm miss it's gonna be a treacherous hike. [beginning to tell a story] I remember the time Miss B. it was just me and four hundred of these big giant.....

Bernard:

Doesn't even know how to fold a map....

scene: the rangers are at Crocodile Falls searching the water; then we see Bernard, Miss Bianca and Jake on a wombat in a tree getting ready to jump.

Jake:

This is how we get around in the outback Miss B. [shouting] The only way to travel, eh Berno?

Bernard:

Ah yeah, yeah, it's just a little, a little ah.. bumpy back here. [Bernard is bobbing along on the tail; the wombat climbs to the top of the tree and jumps.]

Jake:

Cinch up your seatbelts mates, we're comin' in for a landing. [the wombat lands on a small bush; Jake and Miss Bianca get off the wombat; however the bush isn't exactly stable yet...]

Bernard:

Hold it, not, not yet!! [Bernard gets launched into a patch of briars.]

scene: McLeach's hideout

McLeach:

[sharpening a knife] Well boy, let's see if we can do something to refresh that rusty old memory of yours. Is she on Satan's Ridge? [throws a knife at the map Cody is standing in front of] Or Nightmare Canyon?? [throws another knife] Whadda you think Joanna? Yeah, that's it... right smack dab in the middle at Croc Falls! [throws another knife] [to Cody] Am I gettin' warm??

Cody:

I told you, I don't remember.

McLeach:

Don't you realize a bird that size is worth a fortune?? [in Cody's face] I'll split the money with you fifty-fifty, you can't get a better offer than that boy.

Cody:

You won't have any money after the rangers get through with you.

McLeach:

[growls in anger] [he kicks over the kettle of water in the fire].

scene: Bernard and Bianca in the forest by the water; Bianca is removing the burrs from Bernard.

Bernard:

Jake's been gone... ow.... been gone a long time... maybe I should go, oh! Maybe I should go look for him.

Bianca:

Oh don't you worry about Jake, he can handle himself.

Bernard:

Yeah, I... I noticed.

Bianca:

I am just sure he'll be back in no time. [Bernard reaches into his pocket and pulls out the ring to make sure it's still there.]

Bernard:

You know... now that we're alone, [nervous] there's... there's something that I've, I've been wanting to uh... to.. to ask you.

Bianca:

Yes? What is it?

Bernard:

[he walks over to Bianca] Well, it's uh.... it's like this... Miss Bianca I.... [he gets down on one knee] I would be... [he takes her hand] most honored... if.. if...

Jake:

LOOK OUT!!! [Jake bursts through the two of them; Bianca screams] No mice for you Twister not today!! [Jake proceeds to lasso the mouth of Twister the snake.] There!

Bernard:

Miss Bianca!

Jake:

[assertively] I've been looking all over for you. Now look... we got a long way to go, and you're gonna take us there, and you're not gonna give us any trouble about it. Right?? [Snake shakes his head no; Jake and Miss Bianca get on Twister.] They're perfectly harmless once you look 'em in the eye and let em' who's boss. Ain't that right mate? [smacks the snake.] Now git.

Bianca:

It's alright Bernard, Jake has everything under control.

Bernard:

[disappointed and sarcastic] Yeah, I noticed.

Jake:

[going into a story again] You know Miss Bianca, truth be told, I used to be quite a dingo wrestler. Yeah, there was this one time, it was just me and [his voice begins to trail off] 300 of these ferocious mouse-eating dingo's right... had me surrounded.... decided to .... [Bernard, who is riding the end of the snake, get out the ring, dumps out the water, and sighs.]

scene: McLeach's animal prison; Mcleach throws Cody into a cage.

McLeach:

I'll give you a night down here to think it over. But tomorrow, no more Mr. Nice Guy. [McLeach slams the door, Joanna gets her tail caught in it.] Joanna! You thick-headed chunk of fish-bait!

Cody:

[yelling] I'll NEVER tell you where she is! Never! Never!

Frank:

[mimicking Cody] Yeah, never tell! You'll have to drag it out of us!

Cody:

Hey, where did you come from?

Frank:

Um... the desert?

Krebbs:

Well, well, well, fancy that! Looks likes McLeach has begun trapping his own kind! There's no hope for any of us now.

Frank:

No hope! No hope! No! [cries]

Cody:

Be there MUST be a way out of here.

Krebbs:

Oh, there's a way out all right. Cody [and others]: There is?

Krebbs:

Absolutely. [cocky] You'll go as a wallet, you'll go as a belt, and our dear Frank....

Frank:

No, no, no, I don't want to hear it.

Krebbs:

Frank will go as......

Frank:

I can't hear you... [Frank covers his ears and begins to sing a nonsense version of the Australian national anthem] la la la la la.....

Krebbs:

[pause until Frank uncovers his ears] A purse.

Frank:

Aiighh... no!! [cries]

Krebbs:

Ooo... a lovely ladies' purse.

Frank:

[crying] I don't want to go as a purse. [begging] Please, please, don't let 'em do it!

Cody:

Don't worry, we're gonna get out of here.

Frank:

We are?

Cody:

Yeah! If we all put our heads together, I'm sure we'll think of something.

Frank:

Yeah, something, something.... [begins to pant and think hard]

Cody:

Frank, what's wrong?

Krebbs:

Oh, here he goes again.

Red:

Take it easy mate, you don't want to hurt yourself again.

Frank:

[straining to think] I got it!! All we gotta do, is get the keys!!

Krebbs:

[sarcastically] Ohhh!! Is that all?? Well then, we better start packing our bags.

Cody:

No wait, he's right. If we could get these long pieces of wood.... [Cody strains to reach some long pieces of wood through his cage]

Frank:

Wood, yeah, wood, wood, wood, yeah good.

Cody:

Maybe we could.... [a bird in a "tire cage" helps knock the wood so Cody can reach it.] that's right just a little more... there, [he gets a piece of wood] Come on everybody, get some more stuff!!

Red:

The kid's right, what are we waiting for?

Cody:

That's it, you've got it! Hurry! We need something to tie it together!

Frank:

Hey, hey, hey, whaddya got, whaddya got, whaddya got?? [Frank gets whopped with a shoe] [through the shoe] Shoelaces! Oh. [the animals have constructed a long pole held up and together with rope and shoelaces; they begin to use their "pole" to get the keys.]

Cody:

Almost.... a little further...

Frank:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. [Krebbs moans/cries as they miss the keys.]

Cody:

It's o.k. let's try again.

Frank:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cody:

Easy... easy does it.

Frank:

Yeah, no, no, no, yeah, no, yeah, yeah [etc...]

Krebbs:

Somebody shut him up!! [they get the keys on the hook; the dangle right in front of the door.]

Frank:

You've got it! You've got it! You've got it! [Joanna comes in, discovers keys, destroys pole, returns keys to hook, and leaves through the animal door.]

Frank:

[Frank strains to think again] I've got it! I'll just take my tail.... and I'll pick the lock.... like this!!

Red:

Aww Frank, give it a rest.

Frank:

No, no, no!! You'll thank me when you're free! Look, look, look, I just insert my tail, like this, and I turn it like this, just a quarter turn to the left, and then push it a little bit further...... [etc.]

scene change: Jake, Bianca, and Bernard are riding lightning bugs.

Jake:

Ha, ha!! Show him who's boss Berno! [Bernard is having obvious trouble with his bug; he hits a dandelion, attempts to sneeze, but goes underwater instead.]

scene: the hospital wagon

Wilbur:

Ugh... I feel like I got my head in a vise. [zoom out to see Wilbur's head in a vise] Unh...

Doctor:

Are we ready nurse?

Nursemouse:

Ready doctor.

Doctor:

Alright ladies, snap to it! [he snaps his rubber gloves on] Ooo... that smarts! Ah... let me see here.... [hums/sings to himself as he examines the x-ray]... forceps!

Nursemouse:

Forceps. [various tools posing as surgical equipment are tossed around.]

Wilbur:

Oh no, what now? [in the background the heart monitor begins to beep faster and faster throughout this part]

Doctor:

Spinal stretch-u-lator.

Wilbur:

Oh... that's gonna hurt.

Doctor:

Artery router.

Wilbur:

Mother!

Doctor:

This is rusted tight. I wouldn't DREAM of using such a tool. Bring me the epidermal tissue disrupter! [which is actually a chainsaw]

Wilbur:

The epidermal what?!?! [realizing what it is.] Oh no... no.... NO! [Wilbur screams and breaks free; the nursemice set off an alarm and sign that says "Patient Escaping."]

Doctor:

Mr. Albatross we haven't operated yet!

Wilbur:

You gotta catch me first doc!!

Doctor:

Mr. Albatross, please!! [chasing Wilbur]

Wilbur:

Cowabunga!

Doctor:

Mr. Albatross, we must return you to the operating room!

Wilbur:

You'll never take me alive!! [Wilbur attempts to climb out a window]

Doctor:

Please don't do this!! Your spine needs tender... [scream].... loving.... [scream].... care! [they all fall backwards]

Wilbur:

Oh. Ugh. oh... oh... my... my back! Hey, hey... I can, I, it works!! I'm cured!!

Doctor:

My back! [Wilbur bursts out of the back of the hospital truck]

Wilbur:

Don't worry, I'm coming you little mice... this is the finest fleet on two webbed feet. [panting] Oh boy, I gotta, I gotta go on a diet when I get home. Here we go!!

scene: Cody's house

[a ranger knocks at the door; Cody's mom answers and we begin to hear the radio announcer in the background]

Announcer:

... those particular areas, in other news, authorities in Mugwomp Flats have called off the search for the missing boy. His backpack was found near Crocodile Falls, and local rangers believe he was yet another victim of crocodile attack. [scene transitions to McLeach's hideout] Authorities once again warn residents to use extreme caution when they are....

McLeach:

[to the radio] Ha heh! Think you're pretty smart, don't you eh? Who outsmarted who? Who? Who outsmarted who? I still gotta get that boy, to talking, huh? [a thought strikes him] I'm hungry. Can't think on an empty stomach... gotta have protein... gotta have.... eggs. [Joanna perks up at the word "eggs"]. [McLeach gets up and walks across the room; Joanna follows.] Everyone's got his price... all I gotta do is offer him whatever he wants... and then not give it to him. [Joanna opens the tool box, takes an egg and puts it in her mouth; throughout this scene, Joanna steals McLeach's eggs as he is talking out loud; he keeps moving the box back and forth in an attempt to stop her, which only makes matters worse.] [to Joanna] Did you take one of my eggs? Open your mouth. These are NOT Joanna eggs. Let's see ummm... the boy's got the eagle... I want the eagle... the boy won't give me the eagle... if I could just find the boy's weak spot, I could get him to tell me where the eagle is. But the boy's only got ONE weak spot, and that IS the eagle. [aside/thinking out loud] Maybe if I stuck him in a giant anthill, that would loosen his tongue and then.... [yells] I got it! [to Joanna] Got your hand caught in the cookie jar, didn't ya? Eh? Who do you think you're messin' with you dumb animal, my mental facilities are twice what yours are, you peabrain. [opens case, realizes all the eggs are gone] [calmy at first, then more angry] [Joanna runs away and hides] Joanna.... I give you platypus eggs, I give you snake eggs, why I'll even give you eagle eggs, but I want you to stay away from my... [stops abruptly].... [whispers] the eagle's eggs! That's it! That's the boy's weak spot! [Joanna whimpers in corner]

scene: McLeach's animal prison

Frank:

[still trying to open lock with his tail]. Push it in a little bit farther..... [mumbling].... [Frank opens the cage without realizing it and steps out.] [crying] I give up! [kicks the door closed] I'll never get this.... we're doomed! Doomed!

Red:

Hey look! Krebbs, Frank's out!

Cody:

Frank, Frank, you're free!

Frank:

Free?! [realizing] I'm free! I'm free! I'm free! I'm free!.... [continues]

Red:

Shhhhh!!! Joanna'll hear!

Krebbs:

Double or nothin' he's caught in five minutes.

Cody:

Calm down little mate.

Frank:

[sticks his head through the cage] Look at me, I'm free!

Cody:

Frank, get the keys.

Frank:

I should get the keys. I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm stuck.... [continues and struggles]

Red:

Shhh quiet!

Krebbs:

Quiet ya fool!

Cody:

Take it easy, I'll get you loose. [twists Frank back through the cage] There ya go. [deliberately] Now go get the keys.

Frank:

The keys. Yeah, yeah, keys, keys, keys, keys, keys. [jumps to grab keys and misses] Gee, I can't reach 'em.

Cody:

Quick, get something to stand on.

Frank:

Yeah, stand on, something to stand on.

Krebbs:

This oughtta be rich.

Frank:

Yeah, yeah, stand on, stand on.... [etc.] [Frank gets a flat board, carries it across, throws it on the ground, thereby increasing his height by .01 inches.]

Everyone:

FRANK!

Cody:

Use the box! Climb up on the box!

Frank:

[mumbles] [grunts] box, box..... etc. [Frank moves the box, climbs up, and grabs the keys; he falls over with them on top of the box which makes noise with them]

Everybody:

SHHHHH! Quiet!

Frank:

[grumbles] These are heavy! [Frank kicks the keys onto the floor; everyone is dismayed. Frank gets a grip, gets quiet, and goes down to get the keys quietly. As he goes to grab the keys, Joanna enters the prison room through the animal door.] Oops! [Joanna begins to chase Frank around the room]

Red:

The keys Frank, give us the keys!! Frank, over here!! Give us the keys!! [they disappear behind some junk; Frank emerges riding Joanna like a horse with the keys as a bridle] Yeeeeeee-haaaww, ride 'em Frank!!!!

Frank:

Ya-hoo, howdy, howdy, howdy!!!! Howdy, howdy, howdy!!! [Joanna launches Frank across the room] Yeah, yeah, .... [etc] .... [Frank drops the keys; Cody picks them up and lets himself out.] [Joanna runs after Frank towards the cage] Let me in! Let me in!! [Joanna gets a gun] No, no, no!!!! [etc.] [Joanna shoots the gun at Frank who is standing against a wall. He is in a fancy position.] Huh, missed.

McLeach:

[catching Cody with the keys] Surprise!! If I didn't know any better, I'd think you didn't like it here.

Cody:

Let me go, let go, let go!!!!

McLeach:

[sees Frank out of his cage] HA!! Whaddya you doin' out of your cage?!? [Frank goes back into his cage.] Uhhh.... that's better. C'mon boy, [laughs] say goodbye to your little friends.... it's the last you'll ever see of 'em.

scene: at the front of McLeach's hideout

Bianca:

There is no time to waste. We MUST try to get in.

Bernard:

[handing her a stick] Here, here Miss Bianca, start digging.

Jake:

[half-heartedly digs for a moment, stops, looks up and laughs] [sarcastically] Has anyone considered trying... "open sesame"?

Bianca and Bernard:

Aiighh! Woah!

Jake:

[shocked] Hey it worked!! [the mice climb up over the open door and look down.]

McLeach:

[throwing Cody out] Get out of here!! Go on! Git!!

Bianca:

Look Bernard, it's the boy!

Jake:

And McLeach.

McLeach:

[throwing Cody's knife at Cody's feet] It's all over boy... your bird's dead. Someone shot her... shot her, right outta the sky, bang!! [Joanna mocks a shot and death.]

Cody:

NO!!

McLeach:

Whaddya mean 'no'? You callin' me a liar? I heard it on the radio this morning, and she could have been mine if it weren't for you, now you better git outta here, before I change my mind. Go on, git!!

Bernard:

[whispering] Why is he letting him go??

Jake:

It's gotta be a trick.

McLeach:

[aside to Joanna, but loud enough for Cody to hear] Too bad about those eggs, eh Joanna? They'll never survive without their mother. Oh well, survival of the fittest, I guess. [watches Cody run off] [whispers] Bingo! [laughs] [Joanna also laughs]

Bianca:

Bird?

Bernard:

Eggs?

Jake:

Shh! Listen. [McLeach pulls out his truck with himself and Joanna in the cab.]

McLeach:

[laughs] I didn't make it all the way through third grade for nothing. [McLeach's truck begins to leave.]

Jake:

I don't know where he's going, but he can't let him get away. Hurry up you two!! [he jumps onto the truck.]

Bianca:

Quickly Bernard, NOW!! [They all jump; Bianca and Bernard miss and slide down onto the treads]

Bernard:

Oh no!! Oh no!! Get between the treads!!

Jake:

[throwing a rope] Bernard!! Bianca!! Here, catch!!

Bernard:

Got it!! Miss, Miss, Miss Bianca, you, you can do it!!!

scene: in the sky

Wilbur:

[panting and puffing] Boy, this is some headwind, huh? Say, [laughs], you lovely ladies wouldn't have seen two little mice running around down there, would ya? Hey where ya going? I mean it, I'm looking for two little mice! [aside] Is it something I said?

scene: at the cliff

[Cody runs to the edge, stops, looks down, and begins to climb down.]

Jake:

He's going down the cliff! C'mon, we gotta warn him!

scene: over the cliff; at Marahute's nest.

[Cody arrives at the nest; sees the eggs; checks them out; he covers them up, and places one of the golden feathers on them.]

Bianca:

Cody!

Cody:

Huh? Who are you?

Bianca:

Oh, there is no time to explain, you're in GREAT danger.

Cody:

[Marahute's screech is heard at a distance] Marahute?! It can't be!

Bianca:

Oh Cody, Cody wait!!

Cody:

[sees Marahute] She's alive!!

Bianca:

Cody please!! You MUST listen!!

Bernard:

That's right, Mc.. McLeach is on the cliff.

Cody:

[looks up and sees McLeach's truck] [begins to yell and plead] Marahute, NO!!! Turn back!! Turn back!! Stay away!! It's a trap!! [McLeach launches the trap; Marahute is caught in it.]

McLeach:

I got her!!! I got her!!! Did you see that? [laughs] Perfect shot!! Per-fect shot! She's mine!! [laughs] All mine!!!!

Cody:

NO!!! [Cody jumps for the trap/bundle as it is hoisted up; Jake lassos Cody's foot.]

Jake:

Hold tight you two, we're going for a ride! [Bernard misses the rope]

Bernard:

Bianca!!

Bianca:

Bernard! [Cody begins to cut the ropes on the trap.]

McLeach:

[grumbles]... Meddlin' brat. Gonna get rid of him for good. [McLeach tries to shake Cody off.]

Cody:

Help I'm slipping!

Bianca:

Cody, don't move!! [Jake throws a rope and lassos Cody's foot.]

McLeach:

[hoists the whole group up and drops them into his cage] [laughs] [whispering] There she is Joanna.... just look at her.... look at the size of her... the RAREST bird in the world. That bird's gonna make me rich... [chuckles] FILTHY rich. [laughs] [announcing] I got what I want. Now, what does Joanna want? Does she wanna make sure that bird... STAYS rare? [egging her on] How about some great, big, triple A, jumbo, eagle eggs!!! Eh?! You want 'em?! Eh?! You want 'em? Go get 'em girl!!

Cody:

NO!! Please!! [Joanna runs for the cliff, sees how far down it is and balks in fear.]

McLeach:

[mocking] Why, whatever is the matter Joanna?? [She points down; McLeach kicks her over the edge]. Git!! [Joanna goes down to eat the eggs; she searches the nest for them; finds the eggs; takes a bite of one; it is rock hard; she tries another with the same result; she drops one egg on the other which lands on her tail and she shreiks in pain] [screaming from on top of cliff] JOANNA!! You hurry up and eat those eggs and get your tail up here! MOVE IT!! [Joanna moves the "eggs" to the edge; knocks them over the cliff with her tail; she yanks on the rope for McLeach to bring he up; as she does, another rock falls that looks like an egg; Bernard comes out of hiding.]

Bernard:

[to the eggs] O.k. you guys, she fell for it. Looks like the coast is clear.

Wilbur:

[flying in to Marahute's nest] Girls? Girls, I'm here! [laughs] Where are you, you little chickees you? [laugh]

Bernard:

[puzzled at first] Wilbur? [louder] Wilbur!

Wilbur:

[screams and falls off the edge] Don't EVER do that to me again! Oh... boy... I lost a lot of feathers on that one.

Bernard:

Wilbur am I glad to see you! Give me a hand with these eggs will ya? [rolling the eggs out of hiding.]

Wilbur:

Yeah, sure. Wait a minute.... what the heck are you doing up here anyway??

Bernard:

The kidnapper took the boy and Jake.... Miss Bianca.

Wilbur:

Miss Bianca?? Miss Bianca's in trouble?!? Woah! Geez! That's terrible! We gotta do something! [chastising] Bernard, I'm disappointed in you. Hidin' under a nest while Miss Bianca needs our help. I gotta talk to you mister...

Bernard:

Wilbur....

Wilbur:

[fumbling] You should start searchin' the desert for her, and [fumbling] I'll scan the coastline!

Bernard:

Wilbur...

Wilbur:

That's what I'll do.... I'll ask the chicks on the beach.

Bernard:

Wilbur!

Wilbur:

Huh? What?!

Bernard:

Now listen! [Bernard points to the eggs] There's some chicks right here that need your help.

Wilbur:

Really? [Bernard sits on an egg, and pats it.] Oh no.... wait a minute... hold it.... I know what you're thinkin' and you're wrong. Don't even.... no... [Bernard gives him a stare] don't look at me like that! You're gettin' no from me! You understand? No! I will not.. EVER sit on those eggs! [scene changes to Wilbur sitting on the eggs] Aww... nuts! [sigh]... [to himself] Gotta learn to be more assertive. No is no is NO. [to the eggs] Hey, quit movin' in there!

scene: McLeach's vehicle

McLeach:

Well Joanna, it looks like lady luck has finally decided to smile on us. Everything's going our way. [laughs to himself].

Cody:

[screaming] You can't do this!! You're gonna get in big trouble!! I'll tell the rangers where you are!!

McLeach:

[groan] I almost forgot...we got a loose end to tie up, haven't we girl? [Joanna looks through the back window; makes a face at Cody; Cody makes on back and smacks the glass and scares Joanna]

Bianca:

[consoling] Now, now Cody, we mustn't loose hope. Bernard is still out there...

Jake:

[mocking sincerity] That's right! Is anyone can get us out of this scrape it's old Berno! [aside] Nice bluff, Miss B.

Bianca:

I wasn't bluffing. You don't know Bernard like I do. He'll never give up. [looking back out over the trail]

scene: Bernard on the trail of McLeach's truck.

[Bernard is seen running along the trail of McLeach's truck; after turning a "corner" he realizes just how far he has to go; he sighs in disbelief].

Bernard:

Oh my gosh! [He hears a sound; there is a razorback right next to him sleeping; Bernard looks scared at first; thinks; gets an idea; builds up courage; and goes for it.] Ahem... ahem.... ah... excuse me... [the razorback wakes up and grunts at him] [assertively] now look, I've got a long way to go, [Bernard roughs up the razorback by the snout] you're going to take me there, and you're not going to give me any trouble about it, right? [the razorback whimpers and shakes his head no.] Good. [Bernard climbs up the razorback] Now git. [they take off down the trail].

scene: Crocodile falls

McLeach:

[Cody has been tied up to a hoist and hook] Are ya ready boy? It's time you learned how to fish for crocs! [laughs] They like it when you use live bait... and you're as live as they come. [laughs and sings as he adjusts a light onto Cody so that the crocodiles can see him] Oh... you get a line, and I'll get a pole, matey.... you get a line, I'll get a pole, friend.... oh, you get a line, I'll get a pole, we'll go fishin' at the crocodile hole, buddy, pal o' mine.... [to the crocs] That's right babies, suppertime! [continues to sing as Cody is lowered to the water.]

Jake:

It don't look good Miss B. I can't see any way out of this one.

Bianca:

[to the air] Oh Bernard, please hurry!

McLeach:

[laughing/singing] Now, this is MY idea of FUN. [begins to play with the hoist controls; dunks Cody in the water and pulls him out.] Nothing personal boy, but I wouldn't want to disappoint the rangers. They was looking so hard for ya, and now... they're gonna find ya! [drops Cody once more, but before Cody hits the water, the power goes out.] What the blazes going on here? [McLeach looks down over truck; sees a razorback running out of the truck cab]. Joanna? [McLeach climbs down] Did you know, there was a razorback in my truck? [she shakes her head yes at first] Did ya? Did ya?? [she shakes he head no] [yelling] There was a RAZORBACK in my truck. Now you quit playing around and do your job, you four- legged python!! [She climbs down to look around] [McLeach looks inside the truck cab.] Hey, what happened to them keys? [fishing around the floor; Bernard is hiding underneath the gas pedal with the keys.] Must be around here somewhere, they couldn't just get up and walk away. Something weird's going on around here.... I smell a big, fat rat. [Cody is still hanging just above the water; the crocodiles jump for him; Bernard jumps out of the truck cab with the keys; he tiptoes underneath the truck; Joanna follows him and then chases him.]

Bianca:

Look, it's Bernard!

Jake:

I don't believe it! Way to go mate!

Bernard:

Miss Bianca, Jake, catch!! [He throws the keys up to them] [Joanna chases after him] Woah!

McLeach:

Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat. [getting out his gun] [laughs] [Jake and Bianca work the keys up the cage] [Joanna continues to chase Bernard; Bernard tricks Joanna into biting her tail; he hides in a log; Bianca and Jake continue to work the keys up the cage; a gunshot is heard; Marahute screeches.]

McLeach:

Blasted!!

Bernard:

Oh my gosh! I hope I know what I'm doing! [another shot goes off; this time, it hits the rope and severs it most of the way; Bernard kicks Joanna; runs for McLeach.] Thhpppt. [Bernard runs up McLeach just as he takes aim again; Joanna follows and tackles McLeach.]

McLeach:

Hey, get off me!! Joanna! What are ya..... [Bernard pushes McLeach over with one finger] [screams and falls into the water] Joanna! Joanna!! You stupid rodent! Get off me! You idiot! Get off of me! No! No! [begins to beat away crocodiles with his gun.] [the rope breaks and Cody falls into the water]

Bianca:

Bernard the boy!! [Bernard dives into the water to get Cody; they both surface.]

Cody:

Help!! Help!! [Bernard swims for shore; he ties Cody's rope around a tree limb.]

McLeach:

[hitting the crocodiles] Get back, get back, go on, get away from me, get away from me.... [the crocs retreat] [laughs] HA! I whooped ya! I whooped ya all! You'll think twice before messin' with Percival C. McLeach!! [laughs] Woah! [realizes that he is headed for the waterfall and tries to swim back; Joanna waves goodbye] NOO!!!! [McLeach goes over the edge of the waterfall.]

Bernard:

Don't give up Cody!! [the tree limb breaks; Bernard and Cody continue down the river; Jake opens the lock on their cage; Marahute takes off with Jake and Bianca.]

Jake:

Hop on Miss B.!! [they fly towards Cody]

Cody:

Help! Help! [Cody goes over the waterfall with Bernard] [everyone disappears into the mist of the waterfall; a few seconds later, we see all four on Marahute flying away triumphantly into the sky and clouds.]

Cody:

[mocks eagle screech] [looking around; sees Bernard clinging to the rope.] It's o.k. Come on.... [to Bernard] Thanks little mate.

Bianca:

[hugging Bernard] Oh Bernard you are magnificent, you are absolutely the hero of the day.

Bernard:

[rushed] Miss Bianca, before anything else happens... [sighs; gets out the ring and gets on one knee].... will you marry me?

Bianca:

[shocked] Bernard! Of COURSE, I will! [hugs Bernard.]

Jake:

Well done mate. [Jake gives Bernard the thumbs up sign.]

Cody:

Come on Marahute, let's all go home. [Marhute flies higher and the four of them cruise off into the clouds and the moon.]

scene: high on the cliff at Marahute's nest

Wilbur:

Help!!! Anybody!! Bernard!! Bianca!! Where are you?!? [to himself] O.k., that's it, I'm outta here, this is ridiculous. You can't leave me here alone [laughs]. I'm gone! I am GONE! [the sound of eggs breaking open and chirping is heard] [to the eggs] Aww no... stay in those eggs! That's a direct order! [in a baby-ish voice] Awww..... hey... you're kind of a cute little feller, coochy coochy.... YOW! WOAH!!! [groans]

[squadron-of-damned]

Ooooo. :] Who's Body Fey? And what is Coralan?

Bodi Fey is/was my Ace Attorney OC, an uncle of Maya and Pearl Fey. Since men of the Fey family are not really spiritually proficient (canon statement), he was not important enough to mention in the canon materials. His job was maintaining a tourist gift shop in the village below the Hazakura Temple. He was of average height, slightly overweight, and had a strong prescription glasses.

He starts of the entire Embodied Attorney series by visiting Phoenix along with Maya and promptly getting enschemered in an investigation, helping Phoenix. Just as he attempts to channel "somebody who could be helpful", he gets shot straight to the heart. The release of life energy stabilizes the channeling, so that's the first (and last) proper channeling Bodi's ever managed. Now his dead body is inhabited by a ghost of "someone useful" and the moment the channeling stops, you just get one dead Bodi Fey.

Poor Bodi didn't know really many dead people useful to homicide investigations. Actually, he knew just one that his sister had channeled almost thirty years ago. So that's how we've got Gregory Edgeworth into these fics.

Bodi Fey is named that because his sole job is to provide a body for a ghost - hence the name. And also after him the series is called Embodied Attorney.

From comments under Suit (Up) Yourself: Corala is a state I made up for story purposes (like Capcom made Khura'in and Borginia and Zheng Fa), and it is a coastal state in east Asia. Thorough history it has been mostly a part of either China (as a mostly autonomous area) with brief periods of and later a continental part of Japan. In the 60's there has been a rather bloody revolution which gained Corala a full independence as a state, but also saw a lot of Coralan and Coralan-residing Japanese refugees to the United States. Since 1969 the Republic of Corala is an acknowledged independent state. It is known for its beautiful coral reefs which make it a popular tourist destination both for cruises and diving. It has one of the most strict environmental regulation laws which on one hand preserve its natural beauty but on the other hand slows down its economic development.

It doesn't take a genius that Corala is somewhat of an analogy to Korea. In the Embodied Attorney series I've also made it the country of origin of Gregory Edgeworth's parents, making Miles half-Coralan (at least) by heritage. While the southwest of the AAverse!United states have strong ties to Japanese culture (you might have seen Japanifornia being thrown around - an in-universe explanation why the Us-localization still has all those things like bento boxes and kimonos in it), the northeast has a strong Coralan minority, at least in Illianois. Coralan curry is kosher.

The existence of Corala started with me seeing somewhere someone "hey, what if the Mitsurugi (OG/Japanese!Edgeworth) were Korean in Japan, that make the dynamic more fucked-up-interesting, right?" And I was like "huh, I like this thought. How do I translate it into the localised version without having to justify myself too much?" And since AA has already made up at least three countries, I just decided to make another. And give it coral reefs, because those are pretty.
