nano day seven
words today: 2148
words total: 14430
happy with the progress i'm making! i've solidified the outline for the chapters, and i know where things are going...i've been pondering for a while how exactly i want the collector's story to play out, because a big focus of it is how everyone is always lying to them--they never get the things they want because theyre always being tricked, ALWAYS, and thats been my plan for the big climax...this huge fight between king and the collector, which leads to the collector pushing everyone away, which leads to watching and dreaming once luz and everyone else return to the demon realm.
ive got my line to get there! i just have to...write it....
its up and down with this project. its always hardest to write. but once i get the words down i find they're usually pretty good. never as bad as i think, at least. sure, i'll have to do some editing, but...i like the foundation.
also this is a fanfic im writing for funsies <3 it does Not have to be perfect lol. it just has to be something im excited to read.
my favorite part of what i wrote today:
“Well, the slayground is right there.” King nods to the structures in front of them. “I, uh—used to play this game where I took over the slide and defended it against all the other kids who tried to go up or down. We could play that? Take turns defending and stealing.” They say, “I wanna be a Titan in the game.” “Okay.” King pauses, for a moment. “I’ll be you, then! We can swap. And!” He raises his voice. “If you aren’t fast enough, I’ll blast you! With stardust!” They giggle, “that’s what I say!” and make a running leap for the slide, scrambling up it on all-fours and grrring low like Titans can, pretending like that’ll make the world something a bit different. The whole town is still empty. There’s all these places without stardust ‘n they think stardust should be there, ‘cause it was once ‘n they thought that meant it’d come back one day. But for a little bit when they play the world is bright and golden with Titan-magic, with glyphs they trace out in dirt ‘n blast at King, but not so hard to make him go away, and stardust, too, that spills into the empty spaces, fills them up, and is King King King, like a blanket they wanna grab onto and never let go.

~~MONKEYS TESTIES~~
((18+ smut))
jschlatts monkey balls statue x male reader. yeah. this was written as a joke but i spent way to much time on it so..
(dont show this to schlatt)
If you have any ideas to add or spelling corrections please comments. I genuinely can not spell for the life of me.
warnings: contains smut, gun play, cussing, mlmonkey, it’s literally monkey statue x reader. the title itself if a warning.
i did refere to jschlatt as ‘Jay’ because nicknames n shit. (it’s annoying to type out jschlatt everytime.) so if someone knows hes uncomfortable with it please tell me and ill fix it.
some backround: you and schlatt have been friends since before lunch club. like fresh out of highschool friends. you both went to college and when he was getting good money from twitch you tried it out. starting as his editor (you still do some of the editing). you both hit it off and both dropped out to make videos. so your a guest on OTKs new video with schlatt when he finally shows monkey.
Word count: 3238
((I had to turn on my auto caps for this. At least pretend to like it.))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/NS POV:
He was serious.. Schlatt was genuinely serious. When he told me he was gonna buy the monkey statue i thought he was kidding. I should have known. It is Schlatt after all.
“Hes a beaut aint he.”
“Schlatt what the hell. Your in debt and this is what you buy??”
“Eh. If harvard really wanted my money they would have sued me by now.”
“Thats not a good thing-“
“Anyways! We have a video to record so say your goodbyes to dick dong.”
“You fucking named it??”
As Schlatt walks out and to the office you take one last look at the ape. He looks like hes looking at you. And for some weird reason your just attracted to those big carved bronze eyes.
“Uh.. Bye monkey..”
The video was going pretty good. We had a bunch of fun little bits. Schlatt kept bringing up the damn monkey. The fucking monkey and his big golden balls. I wonder how nice it would feel to sit on them- YN WTF. NO. ITS A STATUE.
“Y/N!!!”
“Huh? What. What did i miss.”
“You good kid? You spaced out there. Should probably stop drinking the fireball.”
Of course i take another shot because fuck him (jokingly (we stan j man here)) and i can not let myself think these thoughts sober.
“Yeah yeah im fine.” Im not. “Just spacin out. Im good. What were we talking about?”
“Dick dong-“
“NOT THE FUCKING MONKEY- SCHLATT DONT- SIT YOUR ASS BACK DOWN- and hes gone.”
As im waiting for him to come back from god knows where i scroll on my phone while talking to camera man, whos name i forgot but feel to bad to ask, about what ever. And of course we both stop as we hear wheels rolling towards the room- he has the monkey..
“GUYS I GOT KING DICK DONG.”
Please let this video be over soon.
*small time skip*
For the rest of the video we talk about other things, keep coming back to the monkey, the gun gets into the bit, we wrestle or some shit idk. The camera man name is apparently Jermey had to go out and fix one of the cameras battery or something. But every once in a while i keep looking at that damned monkey.. I mean look at it. Its nice craft mens ship (i cant spell). As an artist myself, its nice. The bronze is so detailed and the gold is so. So shiny. Its nice to look at. Does Schlatt polish them? I would. They look soft.
“Y/n. Dude you sure your alright?”
“OH! Yeah im fine. Just a bit out of it. Ill be fine.”
“Hm.. Im gonna go get you some meds alright? Just stay here.”
Great. What i need right now is to be left alone in an office that i dont know.. whatever.
As im playing on my phone i hear metal moving around. And.. is that pink smoke??? What the hell did jschlatt put in that liquor.
“I see you looking at me. I know you want me yn.”
As i turn to look at where the voice is coming from schlatt walks in with the meds.
“This should hold you over for a while. God you got even whiter/paler while i was out. What did the pope come to life or something??”
“Uh.. no. No im good. Just a headache.” I have to force myself to look at schlatt and to stop looking around. What the hells gotten into me.
“Then lets get this shit over with.”
While recording the rest of the video i cant help but feel a pair of eyes on me the whole time. I try to ignore it while we finish the video. Once we finished we just chilled for a bit and talked about new video ideas and when we should hang out, with out the cameras. You know. Bro shit.
“Well i gotta get back to Jambo. Probably eatting more fucking magnets. Little shits gonna run me broke.” As schlatt stands up and walks towards the door he stops and turns to look at me. “You comin with?”
“In a bit. Im gonna start working on editing. I’ll meat you back at the house for dinner.”
“Alright. Don’t stay to long.”
As he walks out i turn to work on the computer. Putting my earbuds in i keep one out just in case. After about an hour or two i hear some type if metal being thrown around behind me an.. whos there.
THIRD PERSON POV:
While y/n was focusing on the computer, music blasting threw his earbuds, something was almost transforming behind him. He didnt notice it until he heard a bang coming from behind him. Being startled, he takes his earbuds out and turn to see a shadow of a freakishly large man in a cloud of pink smoke.
“Whos there!”
Y/n screams while jumping up for his own gun schlatt made him get for the bits. Aiming for the huge shadow.
“I see the way you look at me y/n. Thinking those dirty thought.”
The man speaks in a deep rock n roll voice. ‘Theres no way thats Jay. His voice isnt that deep.. Nor is he that. Big. Is this thing even human??’ Y/n asks himself while squinting to see the black figure.
“Who the fuck are you.”
“Wow. You really dont recognize me? You would thing you would know me after the hours of looking at me.”
‘What in the hell.’ As y/n cocks the gun the mysterious man leaps over the couch like nothing. Pushing the hand with the gun up, setting off a bullet in the process. Leaning in and kissing y/n.
Slowly yn loosens there grip on the gun while Dicky slides his hand up his wrist to take the gun out of the humans hand.
The shorter male pulls away to look at the taller male. (And i mean tall. Mans like 7 something. Your up to his chest and your like 6’3 cause i said so)
“Who.. who are you.”
While trying to connect the dots he spots the empty table that Schlatt rolled Dicky in on. Glancing down he sees that the balls do in fact glow a nice golden color. Dicky slowly smirking while watching yn connect the dots. Laughing a bit watching as the small man infront of him looks back up with his eyes widened.
“Dicky. How did you-“
“Dont worry about it. Just live those nasty fantasies of yours.”
Without skipping a second yn does what hes told and smashing his lips woth Dickys. Of course yn thought about how fucked this is. I mean its a monkey statue but. Human? Ish. He still has his tail and ears but damn.
As yns hands travel to lay on his soft, hairy chest Dickys hand grip his small hips tightly, leaving the other with the gun resting on his hip bone, making yn moan. Dicky takes this opportunity to shove his tongue into yns mouth. Exploring every single bit.
The bigger male pulled away letting them both breath, rubbing yns hips with his thumb.
“Fuck- you taste so fucking good darling.”
As Dicky murmured into yns ear, he starts kissing down his neck onto his collarbone. Yn started unraveling at the feeling, moving his hands up into Dickys hair. Slightly pulling every time he hit a sweet spot. Yn whimpers as the brunette pulled away to look into yns e/c eyes. “So beautiful.”
The beast reaches his hand to place on yns gentel skin. Yn leaning into the touch. Knowing how wrong this must be, yn cant help but feel so. Safe.
*click* “Now get on your knees for me darling.”
“What?”
Yn can feel the tip of the guns barrel press against his temple. And even though he should feel frightened, he still feels just as safe as he did before.
“Yes sir~”
Yn slowly gets on his knees while sliding his hands down Dicky causing him to grunt. Once yn is on his knees he looks up into the eyes of a lust struck mad man. Knowing what he needs to do next he waits for Dicky to demand it.
“Cmon sweetheart. You know what to do.”
“Do I?” Yn asks, trying to get his monkey lover riled up.
He grabs yns hair, pushing the gun into his temple even more. “Don't play with me brat.”
Yn knew he was in for it now. Slowly opening his mouth, he cups his hand on Dickys smooth glowing gold balls. Starting to message them while licking his tip. Dicky, with little to no patience, pushes his huge dick into yns mouth with a moan. Holding him there just for a moment before he lets go and let's yn take over. Almost.
Dicky still has the gun placed by his side facing the h/c man at his waist. Other hand sat on top of his head in case yn needed any more assistance. Slightly trusting into yns deep throat every now and then.
“God that feels perfect.”
Throwing his head back Dicky let out a moan. Yn started playing with his balls once again, speeding up. Before he could send Dicky over the edge, Dicky gripped his h/c pulling him off with a soft pop.
“Stand.” He demands. Yn listened of course.
Dicky starts kissing him once more with much more pasion while moving them over to the couch. Ripping off yns shirt, pushing him onto the couch only breaking contact for a moment. He reaches down to undo yns belt, button, and zipper. Palming him with only the cloth of his boxers in the way. “Ff- oh shit-“ yn became a moaning mess, Dicky moving to his chest/neck area. Playing with yns nipples, he rips off his pants leaving him in just his boxers. Looking back up to yn for consent to continue, yn nods, feeling his dick only get harder by the second.
“Shit- what if someone comes in-“
Before yn can voice his worries Dicky genuinely shoves the guns barrel into his mouth to keep him quiet.
“Then I guess you'll just have to be quiet.”
Dicky slowly inserting his finger into yn to prepare him, making let out small muffled moans. Seeing how easy the first finger slipped in, he added the second rather quickly.
Yn was falling apart underneath the bigger man. Nothing but clouds filled his mind untill he felt Dickys fingers being removed from him core, whining as he now felt empty.
“Quiet. Don't want anyone to hear you now do we.”
Yn nods as Dicky pounds his dick into yns entrance causing yn to let out a scream. Holding in that position to let yn adjust, he starts leaving little kisses over his neck. Removing the gun from yns mouth just to replace it with his lips. They stay there passionately kissing one another until Dicky starts moving his hips ever so slightly.
“Mmh.” Yn moans into the kiss throwing his arms around the bronze colored man, slightly digging his nails into his shoulders.
“Faster. Please.” He whispers into the kiss. Dicky pulls away to look into his e/c eyes.
“Wanna say that again darlin?”
“please dicky. Please just fuck me.”
As if on cue, Dicky starts slamming into his smaller lover. Yn starts almost screaming, clawing down Dickys large back, holding back screams as much as he can.
“FUCK RIGHT THERE!”
He howls right when Dicky finds his prostate. Abusing it to its fullest.
“Im- m close.” Yn manages to get out between moans. He lets go of Dicky with one arm to cover his mouth in an attempt to muffle his orgasm. Dicky, who already placed the gun to the side, grabs yns thin/thick wrists and holds them both above his head.
“I wanna hear those beautiful sounds baby.”
After a few more thrusts yn lets loose and cums over both his and Dickys chiseled stomach. Dicky continues chasing his own orgasm. Releasing inside of yn.
They both sit there catching there breaths before Dicky pulls away to look at his work,
“What a work of art.”
Yn chuckles, “Says you.”
As yn starts to get up to clean up the monkey man grabs his hips, placing him on his lap.
“Where not done here beautiful.”
“Dicky, I need to get home. Schlatts gonna start to worry.”
“He can wait. He's had you all day. It's my turn to play with you.” Dicky nibbles on yns neck once more. Yn places his hands on Dickys broad shoulders. Leaning his head back, letting out a soft moan. “One more round. Then I gotta go.” He kisses Dickys temple.
“That's my boy~”
Dicky grabs at yns hips and slowly lines his entrance to his tip. Kissing his neck.
“Mh- no. No its my turn to control.” “Is that so?” Dicky, calling his bluff, pushes into him even more to shut him up. “You fUck-“
Yn grabs the hairy man's hair, tugging at it. Causing Dicky to scream out of pure shock. Dicky picks the gun back up, pointing it at yns temple.
“Wanna try that shit again?” He growls out, trying to gain his dominance back.
“I fuckin dare you.” Yn states, gripping tighter to his curly locks. He starts lifting himself off Dickys dick just to slam back down. Slowly thrusting and grinding on his dick.
“God that feels so good-“ Dicky whines out gripping the guns handle and yns thigh for support. Yn wraps his free arm around the beasts shoulder, hiding his face into the crook of his neck. With his other hand he slides it up into Dickys hair even more. Tugging everytime he hit the perfect spot. Dicky, chasing an orgams, starts bucking into yn abusing his prostate.
“Damn it- fuck right there~” yn lets out quite moans into Dickys ear driving him other the edge.
“Just like that baby~ dont change a thing. Fuck im close~” Dicky announces. Yn only being able to let out moans and soft screams. His head full of lust and maybe even love.
Dicky once again throws the gun to the side. Tosing his arms around yn holding him close, almost bruising his ribs. His thrusting picks up. Yn lets go off the bigger males hair and thrown his other arm around his neck, digging his nails into his shoulders. With just a few more aggressive thrusts they both release almost at the same time.
Dicky softens his hold on yn to let his ride out his high. Slowly coming to a stop with. They both look into eachothers eyes. Sharing a quick but pasonint kiss. Yn melts into his chest, both hands sliding down to his cum covers abdomen.
“You doin alright there darlin?” Dicky plays with yns hair while rubbing his back. Kissing his forehead.
“M alright.. just need a moment.”
And so they sat there for a few minutes before yns phone started to ring. “Fuckin-.”
Reaching over to answer the call “hello?”
“Yn buddy! Where you at? Its been like three hours man.”
“Shit. Sorry. Ive been workin on the video.” Yn look to Dicky with a small smile while the other male has a huge grin on his face.
“Damnz better be a good bideo then. You need to get home though. Its late and youve got that recording with swagger and them in the morning.”
“Oh yeah i forgot about that one. Yeah im on my way.”
“Oh and jambo ate your papers.”
“WHAT?!”
“BYE-“ He hangs up before he can even finish his own sentence. “What was that about?” Dicky asks lookin down at a pissed yn.
“Schlatt. His dumbass cat ate my work.”
“Damn. You gonna be alright??” Dicky looking worried.
“Yeah? It's just a paper or two. If anything the cats in more trouble then I am. It's not anything important anyway . I keep those away. I do have to get home though.”
“Do you have to??”
Dicky holds yn toghter to keep him from leaving.
“Dicky. If i stay hes gonna start askin questions. And hes annoying when he does so ive gotta go. Ill be back soon dont worry.” Yn kisses Dicky before he gets off and cleans off with the jacket he brought. Getting dresses in his pants and shirt, makin his way to the door.
“Ill see you tomorrow Dicky,” blowing a kiss twoards the ape man. Waving goodbye and closing the door behind him.
Dicky sighs slowly getting off the couch to go clean up. He fixes the room back up and walks to his place of the moving cart schlatt brought him in on. Taking a glance at the pope cutoutin the corner he turned to face away from the couch earlier that day.
“Don't look at me like that.”
WITH YN:
What.. what did.. am i high? No.
Monkey man was real. That was real. I know it was. My ass still fuckin hirts from it. But how in the hell did that- i mean he was a human.! What the hell was in that wiskey..
As I walk in to the door of me and jschlatts shared house seeing jschlatt on the groups playing with jambo.
“So.. how's your head?”
“Haven't gotten any complaints yet.”
“..what.”
“Uh. Good. I'm good. Just gonna relax.”
“Alright whore. I made food so that's in the fridge when you want it.” Bullshit.
“..what did you order?”
“. Chinese..”
I walk to the fridge opening the door to see the food still in the bag. Definitely homemade. Placing it in the microwave, I head over to flop on the couch. Jschlatt crawling onto the couch next to me, Jambo following right behind.
“Wanna watch a movie??” Jschlatt asks while grabin the remote and looking through netflix.
“Do I have a choice?”
“Nah.” Hearin the microwave i go grab it and sit back down. Jschlatts got some action movie on. Hitting his hand away when he tries to grab at my food.
“Fuck off. You already had your dinner.”
“Rude ass bitch.”
As he goes to grab a snack I can't help but to think back to Dicky and what we did. What the fuck am i going to do.
I wanna sincerely apologize- if you’ve read this far then uh.. theres a book two in process. And im sorry for your mental health. And just because i thought yall should know, i wrote moth of this in class so your welcome.

my long ass review for S32E03 Now Museum, Now You Don’t
Tumblr media Tumblr media
warning: LONG because i rambled about history more than i thought i would
id been looking forward to this one because i like art history, especially after seeing how they tried their best to stick to historical accuracy in the previous episode I, Carumbus. this time however….they didnt try that hard. i dont know why i thought theyd go through that sort of trouble again LMAO
but its okay, i dont really expect the simpsons to be the paragon of historical accuracy or anything. especially in anthology episodes told through a particular character's lens (in this case, lisa, whos already feverish so whatever)
first i just wanna say that this is, i guess, less of a review and more of an accidental list of history fun facts. so im just gonna get my general thoughts out of the way first.
the episode was fun! to me at least haha. i mean it got me to think and do a lot of research on my own so that must count for something. besides a couple of really weird ones, the jokes were good. anthology episodes tend to be….not that good but i thought this one was one of the better ones so far. idk.
anyway on to lisanardo da vinky its the renaissance! jesus christ the italian accents in the beginning of this segment were annoying as hell but i also feel like that was the joke lmao. ill be real i kind of tuned out for a second there when grampa started rambling so idk what he said.
i told myself i wouldnt get nitpicky with historical accuracy if the jokes were funny (final edit: so that was a lie) but this meh bit with the pizza guys and mascots was really not worth ignoring the fact that its impossible for italy to have any tomato-based food in the 15th century (tomatoes were brought to europe from the americas in the 16th century, and pizza as we know it today—flatbread, cheese, tomato—originated in the late 18th century)
Tumblr media
oh this next part was kind of legit tho. lisanardo, like the real leonardo, became andrea del verrochio's apprentice at his workshop. i loved this next bit:
Tumblr media
"Whoever paints the sweetest cherub will have the honor of having MY name signed on their work. That's what great artists do!"
Tumblr media
SO YEAH as it turns out, lisanardo painted the sweetest cherubs. the painting here is called The Baptism of Christ, and the real leonardo assisted verrochio in finishing it. specifically, he painted the cherubs in the corner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this causes verrochio to quit and go someplace with less talented people: a music school (yes, verrochio did quit painting after getting owned by young leo and his mad angel painting skills. he never did anything with music tho, he was more of a sculptor)
alongside lisanardo, in mr largo-verrochio's workshop we have barticelli (botticelli bart), dolphatello (donatello dolph), ralphael (raphael...ralph) and mediocrito (no one that i know of. sorry milhouse) (and kearney i guess but they dont refer to him by name). botticelli and donatello are said to have also been apprentices at verrochio's workshop, but raphael came a couple of decades later so he couldnt have been there. and donatello was too old so that claim is a bit questionable. but anyway
it IS true that leonardo's peers envied him, to the point where he was anonymously and purposefully accused of being gay (a major crime punishable by death in 15th century florence) while he was still working at verrochio's workshop
we are then treated by what im pretty sure is the fourth time the show has used 'at seventeen' by janis ian, this time sung by a dejected lisanardo (man they really do keep making yeardley sing these days huh) who only wishes to be appreciated and not envied.
Tumblr media
"I'll show them all! I'll show them all in a secret diary that no one will decipher for 400 years!"
Tumblr media
some of lisanardo's future inventions. who wouldve known
so after barticelli, for some reason (revenge??? or something?? what was his plan here idgi) steals lisanardo's diaries full of blueprints of her inventions and takes them to mr burns who i have to assume is pope alexander VI here, they decide to use her inventions for war.
Tumblr media
"With these, we can kill the most evil people in the world!! ....Slightly different Christians."
leo actually did this of his own accord. im surprised this is what they decided to do with lisanardo instead of talking about leo's love of nature and vegetarianism (not a single mention of that in this episode? come on...) then again, trying to do good only to end up indirectly making things worse is a very standard lisa storyline. i guess they didnt want to miss the chance to have evil pope burns (very fitting, especially for that era since they were all about money and controlling the people)
so lisanardo decides to leave for france, unlike the real leonardo who was more or less persuaded by his ultimate fanboy king francis I to move to france.
Tumblr media
"Lisanardo, I have many questions. Why are you hitting yourself? A nerd says 'what'? And how is it possible that I am rubber and you are glue? Et cetera, et cetera."
that line may seem a little random, like hes just nelson saying nelson things (and i mean, obviously he is) but the real francis also "had an unquenchable thirst for learning, and Leonardo was the world’s best source of experimental knowledge. He could teach the king about almost any subject there was to know, from how the eye works to why the moon shines." so yeah, he did have many questions and lisanardo, finally being appreciated for her intellect, was happy to answer them all. its very interesting how lisa assigned this role to nelson in her retelling of da vinci’s life :^)
and so she lived the rest of her days in france, nat king cole's 'mona lisa' plays because duh, and they make a da vinci code reference because duh. and the segment ends. and not a single time did they show the actual mona lisa painting. the fuck?
Tumblr media
(ngl i was fully expecting bart to say 'leonardo da vinky' for a second here)
so this next segment is about french impressionist painters, most likely the batignolles group, a name adopted by the early representatives of impressionism. its much more vague than the lisanardo segment since no one here is referred to by name (except moe, more on him in a sec) but i dont feel like it really matters in this case. bart is prrrrooobably claude monet but its hard to say, this segment is kind of a mish-mash of a lot of things. also i gotta say i really liked how lisa introduced the story to bart with an 'if you hate the formal study of art' and not 'if you hate art' because thats exactly my headcanon. i LOVE the concept of artist bart and whenever its referenced it just makes perfect sense to me.
anyway the segment opens in 1863 at the école des beaux-arts (back then it was actually known as the académie des beaux-arts), preserver of traditional french art styles. skinner reviews his students’ paintings one by one. praises the plain, unimaginative paintings depicting your typical european countryside landscapes. very run-of-the-mill (haha get it...cuz theres….a windmill) (although the real académie didnt approve of such basic stuff, they wanted artists to draw epic historical and mythological scenes) then he gets to barts painting and he gives him an F- because the painting made him think.
Tumblr media
(the paintings in this scene arent real famous paintings as far as i know but they are inspired by real paintings enough to get the point across)
in comes barney dressed as bacchus as a model for the students to sketch, which i just loved:
Tumblr media
barney: “You prefer robe open or robe off?” skinner: “Just cover your privates with this walnut shell.” barney: “Whoa!!! So roomy!”
skinner gasps in horror at bart’s sketch, which “looks nothing like him” and bart explains that “it shouldn’t; we’re making the art that we feel because we can’t compete with a camera.” damn, you go bart. take that, realism. draw what you feel!!
Tumblr media
(also no, you didnt need to hold still for 17 hours for a daguerreotype. 30 min tops.)
nelson haw-haw of the week: FOIE-gras!
so here they are at the moulin rouge (“enjoy it before baz luhrmann ruins it” hey shut up. i love that movie), which wouldnt be built for another 26 years, but it is the most widely known gathering place for bohemians in the public consciousness so i can understand why they went with the moulin. nelson delivers this anachronistic line:
Tumblr media
“This époque keeps getting beller and beller!”
which alludes to la belle époque, the golden age of france usually dated from 1880 to 1914. made me snort so ill let that slide
and heres moe! as henri de toulouse-lautrec, who was actually born a year after the year this segment is set in. yo moe szyslak he was just 1
Tumblr media
toulouse-moetrec introduces himself as the chronicler of the demimonde (not an actual job). an iconic figure associated with the moulin rouge (largely due to his affinity for alcohol and prostitutes), toulouse-lautrec was also a painter, having illustrated a series of posters for the moulin himself. he simply had to be in this segment, anachronisms be damned, just because they decided to include the moulin. cant have one without the other.
and yes he did have a walking cane where he kept his liquor.
Tumblr media
i love how everyone drinks absinthe in this place. theyre bohemians what else would they drink
toulouse-moetrec points out that barts paintings are the greatest thing hes ever seen (and hes seen like five things!) and that hes a genius. milhouse realizes that they should stop doing what the teacher says and use their own minds to instead...start doing what bart says lmao. to the easels!
next we have skinner hyping up chalmers about the art his students made for the salon de paris, an art exhibition that the emperor of france will attend. he assures him that none of these paintings will encourage debate, provoke thought or be out of place at a dentist’s office. when they unveil the art, theyre both SHOCKED at how scandalous the paintings actually are.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this reaction was kind of accurate. impressionism was severely rejected at the salon de paris, due to paintings not looking finished enough to them, they thought they were ugly and vulgar for depicting nudity in a contemporary setting (historical and mythological nudity was fine). these impressionist paintings were sent to the salon de refusés, which is. yeah. the place where they sent the rejects. the salon de refusés does not make an appearance but this scene makes a reference to it when the artists get expelled from the royal salon. also:
Tumblr media
“What about our student loans?” “Oh they’ll be refunded. We are not barbarians, I mean, come on.”
(god if only)
so the painters are down because they want the emperor to actually see their paintings. toulouse-moetrec pipes in once again with an idea.
“There is one thing the emperor loves more than anything.” “France?” “No, he hates France.”
apparently the emperor really loves cheese, which makes sense since its napoleon III (who loved cheese) and homer (who loves cheese.) so the painters roll into the salon inside a giant wheel of cheese (obviously.) as lenny said, “Eh, you know French cheese. Very runny.” napoleon III chases after the wheel into a room, where the wheel falls apart after getting chomped on by the emperor. now that they got his attention, the painters proudly show the emperor their impressionist art, which he couldnt be more indifferent about because he just wants to eat his cheese dammit, and he awards them with the royal medallion just to kind of get them out of his way. skinner immediately starts kissing ass (as he does) until marge’s like ‘hey wait a minute. you expelled these students from the royal salon’ and an executioner immediately starts ominously measuring skinners neck.
Tumblr media
“Uh, sir...is your tongue sticking out because you’re dead or because you’re mad at me?”
and thats the end of that lmao (gore in this episode, gore in the last episode, and next week we’re getting gore too cuz its THOH, what the hell is goin on)
we get a short intermission with maggie, who wants a story for her too! lisa tells her that renaissance artists loved to put babies in their paintings, especially baby angels.
Tumblr media
here she is showing her The Triumph Of Galatea by raphael:
Tumblr media
King David Playing The Harp by peter paul reubens:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and a very simplified version of pretty much any depiction of hell by hyeronimus bosch lmao:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
not much else to say about this one, really. but i really liked that sky!
Tumblr media
the last segment is about frida kahlo and diego rivera. or as bart puts it ‘the one about a fat guy whos wife is too good for him.’ i was REALLY looking forward to this one because i love frida and i thought itd be a cool opportunity for animators to go bonkers and do really cool shit with her art as inspiration…..but the segment is not about frida, its about diego and his selling out to capitalism. and its also yet another story with homer and marge drama. no funky cool animation here. sigh i guess i’ll take it
the story begins in 1929 at la casa azul, frida’s home (now museum dedicated to her life and work.) frida and diego are getting married. this courtyard definitely did not look this way yet back in 1929. also theres something very cringy yet funny about lovejoy saying spanish words the way he does, i honestly cant decide how i feel about that one
Tumblr media
the writers know theyre being cringy with their gringoness so they go along with it.
moe: “Spanish for ‘best wishes’!” mel: “Spanish for ‘congratulations’!” bumblebee man: “Spanish for ‘muy bueno’!”
OH YEAH BUMBLEBEE MAN this is his new voice actor, eric lopez! hes not mexican but its still great to finally have a latino actor voicing a latino character and hes very excited to be part of the show so i hope to hear more of him!! im rooting for him
el barto/zorro makes an appearance which i am very confused about. he has jack shit to do with frida and diego and mexico in the 20s-30s. el zorro was set in the spanish california of the early 19th century. their use of the original theme song makes me think they just wanted to flex their disney privileges tbh
Tumblr media
lets not talk about that that whole scene was bad
anyway diego announces he and frida are going to new york, without even asking her first. frida is obviously pissed.
Tumblr media
“Don’t worry, as a woman, you’ll be treated with much more respect in America.”
so in new york, diego is having a bit of a business meeting with mr burns as one of the members of the rockefellers, who is commissioning him to draw a mural for the rockefeller center. its kinda funny how he refers to him and frida as socialists even though they were very much communists lmao its okay you can say it. ok so far, but then frida says ‘yes, we hate the capitalists! right now, a young socialist is being born who will take them down! mr. bernie sanders. i hope hes quick about it’ and that was a simple enough joke and couldve been left at that but then its immediately followed by this weird as fuck family guy-esque cutaway gag to bernie as a baby:
Tumblr media
“Getting a cootie shot should not cost your lunch money. And if you don’t listen to me, listen to the Bernie Babies! What? Everybody’s got goons.” *larger babies start beating up this other baby* “I disavow that, and welcome it.”
this confused me so much that i had to ask one of my american friends to help me understand, but even she was like ‘uhhh yeah thats a weird joke,’ especially now that hes been out of the race for months (then again these episodes take almost a year to produce. i guess they couldnt be bothered to replace it with something more relevant.) whatever that was weird and confusing and unfunny moving on
frida is pretty irked that diego is going through with this deal. after all, it goes against everything they believe in. im not sure how the real frida felt about diego doing the mural, but she did feel a bit of rage during her visit to the united states, especially the obvious disparity between rich and poor. she hated having to interact with capitalists and found americans very boring. in this segment, frida seems to be acting more like the american communist party, which diego got kicked out of for accepting commissions from wealthy patrons. in any case, frida is pretty upset about this whole thing.
and finally we get the first and only kind of surreal frida moment. kinda. maybe. its more cartoonish than anything but im desperate ok
Tumblr media Tumblr media
interesting how they felt like they had to add a “don’t smoke” in big letters after showing patty and selma flying away on their giant cigarettes. i wonder if this is something theyre making them do now? i remember hearing something about them toning down patty and selma’s smoking
diego comes home to frida, drunk as hell, followed by the marx brothers. i cant believe they didnt make a marxism joke come on it was RIGHT THERE. THE MARX BROTHERS. KARL MARX. COME ON
Tumblr media
frida paints her feelings.
Tumblr media
this makes diego realize that frida is a genius and he is not half the artist she is. he proclaims he will now show his awe of her by sleeping with other women, starting “an hour ago.” to which frida replies, “and i will start sleeping with other women, starting two hours ago.” yes this was pretty much their relationship. though im just wondering how the hell did diego not know frida was this kind of artist until now? i know homers an idiot but jeez. art was how frida and diego met, diego knew from the get-go that frida was an incredible artist. i guess the fame got to his head or something. again, homer just being stupid.
Tumblr media
“well enough already, while the art is still deco, okay?”
its time for the mural diego painted, Man At The Crossroads, to be unveiled:
Tumblr media
rockefeller examines it. good and great so far, and then...uh oh
Tumblr media
“Who’s that fellow…? With the beard, and the bolshevik smile…” “That’s the founder of Soviet Russia, Lenin!”
Tumblr media
“B-b-but he’s a communist!” “Oh he just attended a couple of meetings.”
rockefeller will not have this communist in the temple to capitalism that is the rockefeller center, so he orders diego to paint over it. diego stands his ground and refuses. despite rockefeller’s threats, diego says that theres only one person he wants to be proud of him no matter what and in true homer & marge fashion, frida is touched by this. they happily leave the rockefeller center.
now, the real story of Man At The Crossroads and the rockefeller center was actually not that different. as soon as the rockefellers found out diego had snuck in a portrait of lenin into the mural, they ordered him to paint over it, to which he refused. diego even offered to include abraham lincoln and even american abolitionists in the mural as a compromise, but the rockefellers simply did not want any references to communism whatsoever. they did not complain about the hammer and sickle, though. yes, they did know diego was a communist and hired him anyway. what did they expect? lmao. diego said:
"Rather than mutilate the conception [of the mural], I shall prefer the physical destruction of the conception in its entirety, but preserving, at least, its integrity."
so they decided to destroy the mural before it was even finished and they never talked to each other again.
Tumblr media
diego then repainted the mural at the palacio de bellas artes back in mexico, this time known as Man, Controller of the Universe. this new version included even more communist leaders and a depiction of john d. rockefeller jr. drinking at a nightclub, right underneath a depiction of syphilis bacteria. cue nelson haw-haw:
Tumblr media
this was the version they used in the episode also, since the original was, well, never finished and also destroyed. only a black and white photograph of it exists, taken by diego before it was destroyed so he could remake it.
right so, homer!diego then pulls a Barthood and finishes the episode with a large mural summarizing the entire episode. he says some rick and morty thing i didnt get because i dont watch the show idk idc
Tumblr media
the end
ALRIGHT NOW ITS TIME FOR THE STORY OF VINCENT VAN MOE

what i did the past few weeks... is create a 5Ds animal crossing island!! and good god i have sunk deep into it!
SO I made three Island Residents, and I’m kinda proud of how they look
Jack:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(NOTE: Yusei and Jack’s custom outfits are NOT my own! They are from a Pinterest user from a 3DS custom pattern! will add the link in edit when i find it!) The hair is the same (kind of) spikes, honestly jack was the hardest (wink) to make because of eye colour (so he has brown eyes in animal crossing...) and the hair is obviously nowhere near as spiky and blonde :(  Jack is the Resident Rep, the one I started the Island with, mostly because I was going to use him to make the most money and basically be... KING... of the island. haha - YUSEI:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(the boots are the recycled boots because of course yusei would wear stuff from junk... I mean..... its yusei)
I LOVE the square-y eyes, and I used them for yusei because theyre the most accurate to his anime eyes which kind of have a square shape but are also pointed........ also i didnt want to reuse the eyes i used for Jack so. I’m so happy you can use custom designs as face paint... he has his signature marker which makes it more obvious who I’m trying to make!!! (this might be why i least like Jack’s villager look... no marker = no distinguishing feature :(( )
I give Yusei all the crafting recipes I can to make sure i keep track of what DIY recipes I know (balancing it through 3 accounts is impossible!) also he has a second outfit with just the basic tank top and a tool bag which I loVE the physics of this game!! the bag bounces when you walk at a medium pace itS SO CUTE i love this game omfg
oh and yusei hates bugs like blathers, thank you 5Ds dub ep 2 for that totally not forgotten lore : )
-
CROW:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(he has the uwu mouth because i just wanted to use that mouth on someone i love itttt)
Crow’s hair is as accurate as it can be, without that damn bandanna!! i dont even think theres a headband-bandanna item in the game so thats not happening! (he looks bald without it agh)
Crow is mostly my “museum-lover” account - whenever theres new fish/bugs i need, or just to go around collecting the daily fossils, i make sure its through crow (although im very disloyal and often just cba swapping acounts so i catch stuff with yusei and jack because as i said im lazy)
-----
Here are some screenshots I took (whenever theres two characters, I used the joycon controllers in co-op mode to play with myself because im very lonely its lockdown still OK dont judge)
Tumblr media
this is Crow finding jack’s outfit. i love the “heh heh” its very... Crow. also yes i gave jack a “King” outfit with a crown. i had to try and act the part y’know.
Tumblr media
Crow in the residential district of the city just thinkin’. idk i love the look of the streetlights I LOVE THIS GAME did i mention that?
Tumblr media
I made custom outfits of the 5Ds gear and slapped them on jack and yusei, and honestly # ad ? 
Tumblr media
crow fishing with the lads. (he’s the only one using the flimsy fishing rod because he is a rebel)
Tumblr media
an unlikely duo O.O
Tumblr media
Yusei just enjoying the nightlife in his PJs 
Tumblr media
awwww bros makin’ snowbros together (crow’s is kinda lopsided but we still love him)
Tumblr media
(YES I TIMESKIPPED THIS ISLAND IS JUST FOR FUN OK DONT KILL ME)
yusei and jack in the fireworks! jack had a golden wand because flex
Tumblr media
hard at work with his iron wand and random dog in the background ?
(i love the city wallpaper and it works for him! the houses are still in progress lol)
Tumblr media
erm next one
Tumblr media Tumblr media
these are the posters i made using the animalcrossingpatterns website, its so fun and it makes it that tad bit more geeky and frankly wtf am i doing with my life im making an animal crossing yugioh 5ds themed island why am i doing this wow what is happe
Tumblr media
OH GOD Yusei’s worst fear A BUG
a SCORPION! THis image shows the ULTIMATE DUEL between Yusei and the enemy, Scorpion! How will Yusei win such a disadvantageous duel!! FIND OUT NEXT EPISODE!
and finally , the 3!
Tumblr media
(the only way i can get all three in a pic is through harv’s island, im not paying £100 for another controller I’m not that sad can you believe!)
---
i hope you enjoyed that update on my way of coping with the current world mess - ive just escaped into a fictional world in a fictional game-world, Yugio 5Ds through Animal crossing, fiction-ception! Might post more random pictures if I actually make more progress, I recently made BANK from turnips so hopefully I can do something besides crying at how weird my island layout is currently... (oh and i know my digital art is trash but I drew the three as portraits and i wanted to at least try and make it look digital and cute ok)
pls dont judge me on how sad i am doing all this... im very sad bUT  AC exists. just probably not for this purpose.

ACNH HC
PPG edition
so me and my friends on a server were discussing about how the powerpuff girls and rowdyruff boys would play the game, and i took it upon myself to write it all down. This isnt every single one and all of these were created in a mixture of mine, @empress-lulu-of-mischief and @toxicovee minds (possibly other so if i left you out im sorry!!!) Just something fun and silly to think about. 
its long so ill break it up. Let me know if you have any others :) 
Blossom: She had played New Leaf and loved being the mayor so only being a resident was a low blow for her. In that case her island is always 5 star because she would have nothing less. When it comes to how her island looks, it's perfect. It's symmetrical and her villagers have a cute little town that looks oddly like Townsville. She prefers the natural looking stone compared to Bubbles bright pathways. Her favorite thing is the museum and she will donate everything one by one so that Blathers will tell her everything, it's kind of insane. She does this with Celeste too and has little information signs everywhere. She doesn’t really like doing the custom designs for clothes but will occasionally.
When it comes to the flowers, she only likes the red, pink and white ones. She only plants those and if any colorful ones come up, she gives them to Bubbles or has giveaways on her island. She has giveaways on her island where up to five people can come and ask her questions like a little meet and greet.
She doesn’t time skip too often but she did go back in April for the cherry blossom DIYs which her entire house is pink and cute. When it comes to her outfits, she wears the red bow and Bubbles made their old school dresses so she usually has on her pink dress. Her villagers are all pink and she likes having the snooty ones best. She won’t hesitate to complain to Isabell and she will take a net to them.
Game Name: Blossom Island Name: The Good Place (Was Townsville but Bubbles told her no) Fav Characters: Blathers, Celeste and Tom Nook Fav Villagers: Flora, Merengue, Pinky, Whitney, Audie, Raymond Fruit: Cherry Flag: Her iconic red bow with a pink background Tune: The ppg theme song (it's actually mine too)  
Bubbles: The queen of custom design and the hybrid hoarder. Her custom kiosk is constantly being used as everyone wears and uses her designs. Her island is filled with pastel blue pathways and the cutest decor ever. She mostly has small parks and cafes and is still trying to get past her 4 star ranking for KK Slider. She loves the hamster and small villagers and refuses to hit them with nets (except for the monkey who was mean but that's ok). She revolves around her flower gardens and she will yell at you if you try to steal her golden roses. No time skipping for her because she likes the slow pace of the game.
Every morning she goes to every villager and talks with them and sends them gifts. The Able Sisters is her favorite place and she mostly buys things for her villagers. Her musem isn’t even close to being complete because she is scared of the bugs except for the butterflies. The fish she is okay with but the moment she saw the tarantula she closed her game. If one of the girls or boys is on her island, they will catch everything for themselves. Her terraforming skills are off the charts since she likes design so much and everywhere you turn there is a waterfall covered with flowers but absolutely no weeds.
She loves having people come to her island. She sends out Dodo Codes for flower watering and trading. Everyone brings her gifts and it's now a running gag to bring blue flowers. Her player is always changing styles and hair colors but she always has custom heart cheeks.
Game Name: Bubbs Island Name: Sugar Shore Fav Characters: Leif, All the Able Sisters Fav Villagers: Bunnie, Cookie, Merry, Bubbles because duh Fruit: Apples Flag: Intricate bubble pattern with flowers Tune: She changes it from one disney song to the next
Buttercup: She wasn’t too thrilled about the game as she never played the other ones before. However she does start to like it as it's relaxing and helps with her anxiety. She's a grinder and always has money. She designed her island to have different areas based on her favorite movies and sport areas. She likes the jock and lazy villagers and will not hesitate to smack them with her nets. She hates how long dialogue takes and smashes the buttons violently.
She breeds the black flowers and her house is surrounded by them. She likes to catch the fish and every night she goes to as many islands as possible for taratuna hunting. She only allows her best friends to come to her island because the log screens are a pain. Her island is nice and cool and she time skips like crazy and likes the turnip stock market. Other than that she's not too obsessed with it and her villagers get upset when she leaves them for days at a time. The only custom thing she makes is movie posters and band album covers. Hidden around the island are magical summoning circles and fake blood, Bubbles hates it.
She likes CJ’s fish challenges and half her island is covered in bugs for Flick. Her player has the bandages and custom fake blood as well as spooky outfits that she gets from other people's codes.
Every time she catches a snail, she sends it to Butch with a message “its you” attached.
Name: BC Island Name: Spice Shack Favorite Villagers: Kid Cat, Bam, Phil, Bruce Fav Character: Cj and Flick Fruit: Orange Flag: Green skull with a black background (bubbles made it) Tune: Opening to “Welcome to the Black Parade)
Brick: Stock Market King, Mr. Richie Rich, Snob. After Boomer told him to play and gave it to him, he became obsessed with the stock market. Every Sunday is turnip day and he spends the week finding the highest selling price, usually his twitter followers will invite him and he will leave them a bunch of Nook Tickets. He time skips like crazy, cheats and he wears the crown without hesitation. His island is 5 star spotless and shows off the rarest items. If you wanna come to his island then you must pay up. He is the person who you hate because you wanna be him. He has only the top tier villagers and will call you poor. He doesn’t bother with custom designs and if he wants something then Bubbles is the one to go too. He used an island planner beforehand to make sure everything was in place. The moment something new comes out, he's on top of it. He doesn’t really care if a villager is ugly or cute, if they are highly wanted, he gets them.
If you happen to be dating him, you must wear the matching crown to prove that you are the best because it's what you deserve.
Name: Lord Brick Island Name: Bricktopia Favorite Villagers: Audie, Marshall, Raymond, Bob Fav Character: Redd, Daisy Mae (He is her bitch and sets his alarm) Fruit: Peaches Flag: Red flag with a crown on it (made by bubbs of course) Tune: He doesn't know and he doesn’t care because he plays on mute.
Butch: Disater. His island is always messy and he doesn't care too much about the atmosphere but he does like the bugs and is a simp for Isabell. He saves all the snails BC gives him and puts them in his snail room or the army room. He becomes serious about the game a little later and sooner follows Brick with all the cheats. They dominate the stock market like bosses
He doesn't talk that much with the villagers but spends time hitting them with nets if they are ugly. He keeps Butch without a doubt and moves his house next to his cause they are bros but all of his villagers are cats only for the reason to make jokes. (pussy island)
His island is like a living meme as he has random images in the sand. His house is simple but a punk rock domain and he wont tell anyone that he spent hours making the green day album covers for his wall. He doesn't have too many flowers but prefers the bamboo look more. His favorite item to wear is the hockey mask and he put fake blood face paint on. His island is like a horror game instead and Bubbles refuses to come to his island because it's scary. He also likes to make mazes out of hedges.
After a while he restarts his island and son time travels and has the island buffets where people pay to come get materials and objects. He becomes an AC king in no time and likes that he can make money. (the only people allowed on his island without payment is the girls, his brothers and his friends, other than that, pay up)
Name: Butch Island Name: Butch Pad Fav Villagers: Butch, Bob, Olivia, Stinky, Tom (litrally just cats and Butch) Fav Character: Cj and Kicks Fruit: Pears Island flag: A snail with a skull on its shell Island tune: Mr. Brightside opening
Boomer: This boi right here is the AC King. He's played every single game since he was little (always made fun of by his brothers but look at you Brick). He knows all the AC lore and will go into detail about Tom Nook and Redds past plus he is the biggest shipper of Flick and Cj. His island is terraformed perfectly and he has literally everything you could want. He time skipped for a little bit but never cheats.
He is a twitch streamer and everyone tunes in the moment Boomer is on. He allows for five people to come on his island a day to play games and get DIYs that he already has. He's a humble player who knows his way around everything. He doesn’t care too much about which villagers come and go but Audi is his favorite as the back story suggests. He just wants to complete it all except he will never be able to catch wasps, he sucks at it. However he rarely misses a fish and also has piles for Flick and CJ.
He is an avid hybrid flower person and any extras, he gladly gives away. Bubbles gets the first pick. He is surprisingly good at custom designs and makes everything himself. His island has little cafes and band areas as well as a perfect view of KK Slider because he is a 5 star island for sure.
He owns AC Merch and buys fanart from other people because he is obsessed. He got Brick Daisy Mae socks and he catches him wearing them every Sunday for good luck.
His player looks like him but also wears the crown (he got it first anyways). His house has all the instruments and has a nod to all his past houses.
Name: Boomer Island Name: Big Blue Fav Villagers: Boomer, Bubbles, Audi, Tad Fav Character: Isabell, Timmy and Tommy, Cj he loves them all. KK SLIDER Fruit: Cherry Flag: His flag changes weekly as his subscribers have flag comps each week and he uses the winner as his flag Tune: He is an Og and didn’t change the song.
Ships and how they play:
Reds: Museum dates. They love walking through the museum while talking on the phone and wandering around. Brick brings her a pink rose each visit and Blossom places them around her house. Usually when they are on each other's islands they are facetiming or talking and they just kinda run around and don't do much before getting off and focusing on each other. Blossom brings him gold flowers because he is a snob but he secretly appreciates it. Blossom has to take off the bow and wear the crown because only the best can be on his island. She makes him wear a red hat when he comes onto her island. Sometimes they have fishing competitions and whoever wins gets to brag on the bulletin board.
Blues: Dates!! When they visit the other islands, they go back and forth all day, exchanging hybrid flowers and catching butterflies. Bubbles talks to every villager he has and they each made a secret picnic spot on their islands for them. If he is streaming, she is mostly likely watching and or playing with him. They can spend hours just talking and running around and they just craft and decorate together. She helps him fix his house up and “I love bubbles Is written in the sand that can clearly be seen from the plane loading screen. They always give things and write love notes on their boards. Together they host games on their island and it's always on a certain day. There's at least a queue of 100 people each time.
Greens: They hit each other with nets and axes for five minutes before switching to a fighter game and hopping on with the boys. But if they manage to stay on longer, Butch and Buttercup just cuss consatntly and leave eachother gross notes on the bultin boards. The play hide and seak and Butch likes to dig up her flowers and make a mess of her island before she does the same to his.
COLOR CRACK:
Brick x Bubbles: He constantly is paying off her debut because she doesnt time skip or grind for her money. She never asks him to but she opens her mailbox to find bags of money and rare items. She makes his red sweater and when he goes to her island that's the only time he removes his expensive outfits. In the back of his island he grows hybrid flowers for her. She makes his custom designs and shows him how to boost his flower production and villager points.
Brick x Buttercup: He likes calling her poor. He is insulted by her island being boring and gives her gifts but she sells them to piss him off. They are the most competitive pair when it comes to fishing and she likes to dig in random places and drop items to make him mad. He’ll walk around and find thirty sticks everywhere and call her. It's about teasing with them and good fun. They are also the turnip couple overlords and constantly are looking for the best princes.
Boomer x Blossom: Boomer knows everything about AC and Blossom loves learning about the stories. He gives her tours of the museum and everytime she has a new villager, he explains their past. He gifts her pink flowers and she helps him complete his museum with fossils. He will have people come to his island and she even has meet and greets with people. It's simple and fun.
Boomer x Buttercup: Boomer gets BC addicted to the game. No other person can make her care so much about these animals than her soft boyfriend. He shows her all the secrets and how to make her island amazing. She becomes obsessed and is soon rivaling Brick for best island, Blossom knows hers is better. Buttercup likes to grind and travel for materials and anytime Boomer says he needs to find some more wood, she has it sent to his island in no time.
Butch x Blossom: Sir is a simp for Pinky. He enjoyed listening to her talk about the fossils in the museum and when she flew to his island “Blossom is Hot” was written on the ground. Even though her island is thriving , he constantly sends her gifts and things. His favorite thing to do is to run on her island and leave a random heart patch for her to find. She doesn’t exactly approve of his methods of making people pay money to get stuff but him allowing her to get whatever she wants, she turned the other cheek because if people want to spend money so be it.
Butch x Bubbles: He hits her villagers and she yells at him. He also likes to take her flowers one by one and replace them with normal one. He tried taking her golden rose but she cried and he called her to make sure she was ok. Now he doesn't mess with her but finds himself growing her flowers. She doesn’t come to his island because it's spooky but he made a little spot on the beach and “Bubble Safe Zones”. She tends to have the best items for sale so whenever he visits he shops a lot. They like to fish together and she shows him how to plant flowers and make his island nice. After he decides to restart and make his island a shopping paradise, Bubbles gets anything she wants especially since she doesn’t time skip. If there's something rare that he only has one of, she gets it.
Bonus: (doesn’t matter which ship)
-Blossom once had turnips for 800 bells and did not let Brick come on her island because he said something about the bow being dumb. He instantly regretted and called her and begged, the man begged over the phone for her to open the gates. She did at the last second.
-Butch once stole Bubbles gold rose and the entire city heard her sonic scream. He put it back and waters it daily. (She screamed cause she saw a spider on the wall but it got him to but the rose back)
-Boomer and Blossom know about the AC lore and often have long discussion on his stream about different
-Nintendo contacted the girls and for a new event they made the powerpuff girls as villagers you could have. Blossom is a preppy wolf named Blossom, Bubbles is a sisterly duck named Bubbles and Buttercup is a jock cat named Butters. Each of them are themed to their signature color and each offers a special diy. (they sent the girls amiibos and codes to get their own) Big Bow Bookshelf (Bow shaped bookshelf with blossoms signature), Heroes Bedtime(replica of the childhood bed), Hotline Phone, Heavenly Hearts Rug (the heart ending screen rug), Bubbly vanity (three giant blue bubbles that look like a mirror with bubbles signature), BC Bean Bag (bean bag that is green with Buttercups signature). Crime Fighters wallpaper (wallpaper that has the famous pink, blue and green streaks), Pink Poster, Green poster, and Blue poster, PPG Poster (has all three girls on it)
-Each girl has a special memorial on their island for Bunny. It is just a patch of Purple roses and all of them are near their house.

I would just like to clear, I don't hate the BBC Dracula 2020 Show. In fact, I actually like the idea of Dracula being set in modern times like in the show, but I would like it a lot better if it wasn't written like a fucking reader insert fanfiction.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some reader inserts every once in a while but they're meant to be on Wattpad. Sometimes, you can find really fucking good fanfictions that could genuinly be movies, but this really just feels like someone wrote an erotic fanfiction for Dracula. It almost reminds me of a worse version of 50 Shades of Grey with less kinky sex.
First and foremost Agatha Van Hesling. I actually kinda liked her personality, how driven she was and determined to never give up, but she was literally created for a love interest. In Dracula by Bram Stocker, Sister Agatha is a nun that nurses Jonathan back to health, claiming he was 'sick in the head' as he ranted of what he had seen and warning others of Dracula. She doesn't even have a last name.
However there is a Dr. Van Hesling in the book, hes dutch(???) Professor that mentors and taught(????) Jack Seward who was in love with Lucy, who was fed off of and eventually killed and eventually undead by the means of the one and only Dracula. Dr Van Hesling plays a large role in the plot of the book. He has an open mind and was able to draw connections between things that some others couldn't, as he had access to more sources and could speak to most off the charecters involved. He's the first person to present the idea of a vampire, and Lucy turning into one. Thanks to Jonathan he was able to identify the vampire feeding on Lucy as Dracula and finds out how to kill the vampires.
So basically Agatha was literally fabricataed for the sole perpose of being there, to fall in love with Dracula or something.
I know we all are horny for Dracula. I'm horny for Dracula. Vampires are fucking hot but the sexiest part of vampires is that they ya know. Kill you and are mercily and heartless. The show does show that in a lot of parts and even decapiates a nun and yeets it into a gaggle of nuns which i fucking died at. But it also, humanizes him way to much, hes literally a monster. The scene in the boat with lord whats his name really portrayed that. It was really,,,, weird cause me being a kinky fucker I don't find the particular phrases of "you're going to need to be quiet now," and " youre doing so well" that creepy and if anything a little hot but looking at the circumstance and the look on that kids face, it was like r e a l y fucked up. Which is why i liked that scene. It showed just how fucked up Dracula is.
To be fair i did like Cleas Bangs acting and casting as Dracula. He had a certain charm that was ever so s l i g h t l y off. I heard people say he just 'made up an accent' but fuck you guys its a fucking danish accent you incolent twats anyways. He could be really funny at times and i actually apprecited it.
However the casting AND acting of the modern parts is absolute shit. Ep.3 is where i kinda gave up on the show and finsihed it for the sake of torturing myself. FIRST OF FUCKING ALL LUCY i cannot fathom how P I S S E D i am about Lucy. Why did they have to make her a phone obsessed basic asshole with no regards to anyones emotions besides her own and the extent of her personality is 'getting likes on socail media is all i care about because it makes me feel validated so im gonna wallo in self pity because i was obiously written by white man in his 50s that would have made me white if he wasnt forved to throw in diversity points" like shut the fuck up steven king.
Also lucy and mina never meet??? Theyre in different fucking time lines??? Theyre friendship and love for eachother was fucking golden how dare you rob that form me and give me a garbage bag full of shit with a shiny little bow on top in its place jesus f u ck.
The cemetary scene was o k ay i gues?? I liked the little nod to the book with the bloofer lady and the concept of random sprits being undead because of unfinished buisness. But this really just felt like it was slapped in the show for the sake of going on a date with Dracula in cemetary. I actually kinda apperacted it but it just felt awkward.
Also who the f u ck is Lucy's friend? The gay one??? Like,,,, is that supposed to Arthur???? His chatecter was so fu king weird and offset he just didnt feel like he should be in there. Hes literally just there for a-50-year-old-man's-interpretation-of-young-women-now-a-days verson of Lucy to have a gay best ffriend.
Ok i not even sure if i want to talk about Quincy. It just hurts. It physically hurts me to think about how d i r t y they did my baby. His charecter is the defination of american chivalry, just as great as regular chivarly but with a little extra cowboy vibe. Quincy is jist the biggest,,,, sweet haert,, like he asked lucy to marry him in his cool american cowboy voice cause he knew lucy loved it and it always made her laugh. And even when she turned him down becayse her heart belonged to arthur, he stayed. All he wanted was for lucy to be happy and all he requested was that they stay frirnds. Hes also invovled with taking fkwn dracula although hes not a main charecter percice ly as he doesnt have any entires in the book he still has an amaizing precence and sometimes while reading the book ill be readying one of dr sewards passanges and think "huh i wonder what quncys doin. I hope hes dooin good. Cowboy vibes n stuffs" amd boy dles he do that. Everh dracula film adaptataion robs us. R O B S U S of quincy morris best scene. In the middle of dr van helsing ranting about vampires( thats basically what half of the book is. I could write a 4p minute mono louge of his rambling jesus how does sweard take note of all this) quincy litterally just walks out. And nobodg really pays any notice beside glancing ag his leave and shrugging at one anouther and going back tl listneing tl van helsing explaining his vampire fan theories quincy moris , the quincy morris from texathe untited states of the amerkca the land and the free and also cowboys.stands outside of the bouilding and pints his gun up at. Dracula whos in the shape of a fucking bat eves ddopping outside the window and just fucking,,shoots it. Now he doesnt hit it cause thatt wouldnt be as fun as brutally stabbing the fucker witja wooden stake. But S T I L L. And the fucking bullet hits the window that everybodys in anprobably causes arthur to shit himself the ppoor boy. Can you belive that theh didnt fucking flim thatfor any dracul? Now i i under stands why not put in this adaptation because quincy is only mentionsed like three god damned times. And when theh DK mention him jesusnshit they literally jsut made him some popular jock from amwrica just to conter jacks white twinky ass and then they had him propose to lucy in the middle of a fucking night club and she says yes???? Lile ok jut throw Arthur out a window then cause cause fu c k him i guess. And then after lucy dies he jjsy fucking moves ?? The only thing thta makes this version of qincy quinccy is the fu king name and fact hes from america
Ok now jack fucking seward. He reminds me of when ylu forget you had a pb&j in your back pack so in the bos after school you pull it out cause yoyr hungry and yoyr mom put WAY to much jelly on it so now its like. All obsorbed into the bread and joggy and squished. Just sad and really white. They even had some kid call him whate bread and they werent fucking wrong. His obly personality traits were ' omg i love lucy but shes a hoe ;,,,((' and being connected to Zoe.
Now last and definately least the god forbaden ending. Just thinking about it gives me a fucking head ache. So , jesus, zoe, who is agathas great niece or someshit, a d looks exactly like her (its literally the same fucking actress) is a detective lile scitist reasearching dracula. So dracula is illedatly attracted to her becasue he thinks shes like agathas reincarnation or soenshit. So he tries tk drink her blood at one point and spits it all out and pukes and sjit cause her blood is poisonous bevaise she has fucking c an c e r. So later we find out that draculas weaknesses ( the sun crucifix) arnt actually real hes just afraid of dying so he has like irration fears or some shit so for some fucking reason. They deside. Its a good iea to end the show with this:
Dracula fucking drinks all of zoes blood killing her and himself because her blood poisonus. And ghe fucking emd scene is them like,,, in the sun???? Or soemt hi ng??? And theyre naked and like presumably fucked and dracula says some shit like " its doesnt have to hurt" and i almost tore my wrist open wiith my teeth because of how shitty this ending is.
Not lnly is it disrespectful to zoe but agatha, agathas whole thing was K I L I N G. dracula she wanted him fucking D E A D she woULDNT FUCK HKM
And like just after finding out that he can be in the sunlight with out fucking dying and that crosses just make him umcomfortable or some shit he just desides to kill himself??? DUDE YOU JUST FOUND OUT YOURE PROACTICALLY MORE INVINCABLE THAN YOU WERE BEFORE AND YOU JSUT FUCKING OFF YOUR SELF ??? HE COULD HAVE FUCKING RULED ENGLAD AND SPEAD VAMPIRISM OLL LVER THE FUCKING COUNTFY AND WORLD KF HE TRIED HARD ENOUGH AND HE KILLS HIMSELF BECAUSE THEY WANTED A STUPID SAPPY ENDING
anyway if anyone actually goes through the effort of reafing my god damn eS S A Y about Dracula that i finkshed typing (im not gonna bother editing tbh) at 4 fucking am. Then thank you and please get a life

30 Song Challenge
Tumblr media
Im not doing 30 days of this so here it is all at once. Enjoy and message me if you actually listen to them, I wanna hear how people like this music,
https://open.spotify.com/user/brunotech69/playlist/5qZfg7ML5vJHF5fR6uuXgE?si=RaUsUp5zQEWksu3WElLhlg
(Two youtube only songs)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjENPPTzybQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=calHOKucYMw
 1.      Pacific Blue – Emily Zeck
a.      Lots of ocean analogys and a nice cute love song
2.      8teen – Khalid
 One of the grooviest songs on his amazing album.
3.      Old Friends – Pinegrove
 Summers are hella better for me stress-wise, but this song
4.      Past Lives – BORNS
  Its an amazing song and I hate how good it is. I listened to it over winter break after my gf at the time recommended it to me. Shame she was cheating on me the entire time.
5.      New Wave – Quinn XCII
  Found it recently and I can just imagine people in dance circles to this song
6.      Wasted – Tiesto
  It’s a popular song but I have small memories with friends of us belting this song out or dancing like idiots. It’s hard to miss a good time to just bounce up and down and scream this to whoever is listening
7.      Odd Look – Kavinsky/Weeknd
  VERY Sexual song but the bass slaps and it’s such a good road trip song when you are alone
8.      Doses & Mimosas – Cherub
   More than drugs and alcohol, this song talks about addiction and drowning your problems in substances. The second verse is my absolute favorite and the overall happy tone distracts from his cry for help. That’s why I like the song a lot.
9.      New Eyes – Cbdb
  I cant sing this with a frown. Very hopeful and just me complimenting the girl im with
10.  Like Real People Do – Hozier
  This song was shown to me by someone I still care a lot about at the right time where I needed to hear this. Its about being “saved” by someone but then worrying about why they were there looking. Mutual care and worrying about others doesn’t mean you aren’t worrying about yourself as well. This is one of three songs that will always get me sad and breathe heavy and wish things were better.
11.  Barcelona – George Ezra
  I spent a lot of my life abroad in Portugal, away from friends and ‘home’. This song deals with long distance and its George Ezra, so its just smooth to listen to
12.  Sarabande Suite (Aeternae) - Globus
   I did a lot of nerd shit and would listen to “epic” music while painting or building or video editing. This song has epic parts but has more nostalgic emphasis to me. I can see a trailer for some sci-fi movie being made out of this song.
13. Dancing in the moonlight – King Harvest
   Before itunes and spotify, my mom made a cd mixtape of good barbecue songs and this was on it. I used to hate it but its just so good now in hindsight and this is the best version so don’t @ me with other versions.
14.  Overwhelmed – Tim Mcmorris
  I made a movie for someone special using this song but it’s just so full of love. I want to feel safe with someone to this song or a slow dance without worrying about it being too gushy
15.  Golden Slumbers – Elbow (originally by Beatles)
  From a Christmas commercial but its very nice and I pet a corgi to this song once.
16.  TongueTied – Group love
 Everyone knows this song but its very feel good and so fun to yell in a car or group of people having drinks.
17.  Elephant Love Medley – Moulin Rouge
  Moulin Rouge is my fav musical and this duo is memorized forever in my head and all I need is a partner really. Also more people should see Moulin Rouge.
18.  Bombastic – Shaggy
  The best song I could find that came out in 1995
19.  Snow in Newark – Ryan Hemsworth
  Newark is a very grey, industrial city in New Jersey, but also where the airport is. If yall didn’t know, I grew up in NJ and when I left it for the last time ever (college), it was snowing in the Newark airport. This song deals with him living his touring life but just wanting to be back home to someone(?). NJ is nothing special but I left a lot of friends forever. Idk if I’ll ever see some of them again and it shouldn’t worry me as much as it does. ATL is so much more diverse and colorful and I’m not the same person I was when I left NJ, but that doesn’t stop me from sometimes wanting to be back.
20.  Goodnight, Travel Well – The Killers
 This was written for the loss of his grandma I think, but it’s a whole song that deals with loss and accepting that there is nothing else you can say or do now. There’s lots of things I wish I could take back, but now its best if I don’t reach out at all. It hurts but its for the best.
21.  Pierre – Ryn Weaver
   Beautiful voice, fun lyrics. Its about dating/sleeping around but mind is on one person and just like oof.
22.  Love – Kid Cudi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjENPPTzybQ
 This song I cant find anywhere besides youtube because he never released it like an idiot. The chorus is the best I have ever heard and I
23.  Would You Go with Me – Josh Turner
  If I recommend a country song, and your immediate reaction is “oh I HATE country, it’s so DUMB. How COULD you enjoy it?” first of all fuck you and your Hamilton loving ass but if you want to listen to one (1) country song, this guy has an amazingly deep voice and I have a lot of good memories to this song and good lovey-dovey feels.
24.  Shots- LMFAO
  I loved LMFAO as a kid (like many people) and shots is just such a simple feel good song and if you say you never at one point enjoyed their music at a party, you are weak and lying.
25.  Waiting for the End – Linkin Park
a.      His suicide really punched me in the gut and I had to excuse myself from work to cry a bit. I always enjoyed the less scream-y Linkin Park songs and there are a lot of messages I hope people can relate to and get help for.
26.  I Belong to you – Ben Abraham
  Simple and sweet, he sings about knowing that one day he will fall in love. He knows he doesn’t have one now, but isn’t worried and is sure that there is someone out there he will meet one day. The whole idea of belonging to a bright future with someone is so nice and I can only for it myself
27.  Hero – Regina Spektor
  From the best scene in 500 Days of Summer, this song plays when the overly romantic guy gets drunk and falls into depression after seeing the girl he has been creepily doting on with someone else she didn’t tell him about. For me, its just when Regina spektor keeps saying “cheating cheating cheating” that gets me.
28.  Dog Problems or Oceans – The Format
 The Format (aka early version of Fun.) has some bangers and these two are my fav from the album Dog Problems. Dog problems is about being cheated on and Oceans is about wishing you were on the west coast to see your loved one again. I couldn’t choose one so theres both.
29.  Baby mine – Dumbo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=calHOKucYMw
  My mom would sing this to me and my brother sometimes at bedtime when we were really young. Things were so much simpler and mental illness wasn’t even a thing I was worried about. I have a shitty relationship with my family now, and I really wish I could make things better without sacrificing who I am in the process.
30.  Need – Pinegrove
   If I could find a song 100% about me, it is absolutely this song. It goes into mental struggles, “wanting” things that are necessary, getting stuck inside in your mind, and its all in a begging and pleading tone. I really really fucking wish I didn’t ‘need’ things like social interaction or affirmation or mutual sexual attraction. If you have to listen to one, definitely make it this one.
  message me if you give any a listen. thanks

I’ll Tell You What I Want! (Ch. 2)
so this may be like part one of ch.2 i can’t decide yet but all of these are going to be edited and lengthened before i post them to my ao3 and fanfic accounts
w/o further ado here is part two and im actually genuinely having fun writing again this is so great
EDIT: As with the first chapter, I made some major changes to the storyline, so I am reposting. This story can also be found on AO3, under the same title or author (slugmanslime).
Pairings: Marianne/Bog King, previous Marianne/Roland, future Dawn/Sunny Warnings: not much for this part, exhaustion, Roland is an ass, heavy foreshadowing that Marianne messed up Word Count: 2176 Chapters: 1 / 2 / ???
Hours, it had been hours of freezing wind, huge snowflakes and thick blackness that Marianne trudged through on her way back to the castle. Sunrise of the winter solstice had passed and she knew that Dawn could only cover for her so long before her father would be on high alert and sending out guards. As Marianne shifted the heavy coat across her shoulders, she was struck by a sudden brightness and gasped: she finally crossed the boundary of the Dark Forest and Hearthmark! The sun was had been steadily trekking across a heavily clouded sky as she travelled, its glow like a shadow, approaching early evening. She sighed wearily, knowing that she would have to move faster if she was going to make it home before nightfall. Marianne had not slept, and had barely eaten, but time was of the essence.
The princess marched on, tracking the path of the sun by the visible light as it sank lower and lower in the sky. Every now and then she would reach into her satchel and clutch at the bottle that housed her very own love potion. It made her heart race thinking about the possibilities; Bog had assured her that it was fool-proof, and she was desperate enough to trust him. She paused under the thick branches of a cedar tree as sunset cast a bleary gray blanket over the snow that had fallen the previous night. The heady scent of wood and sweet oils sharpened by the cold helped Marianne perk up a bit; she used to love climbing the trees close to the castle, back when she was younger. It seemed that those simple days were gone now…
Bog’s smirk as they struck their deal swam in front of her eyes for a moment and Marianne grew queasy, thinking about what might be in store for her and some unlucky soul in the future. Combatting that feeling was an odd tug she felt for him; it had to be a lonely existence out in the Dark Forest, and the way that he looked at her when he promised to care for his future wife dispelled her unease.
The chilly air turned downright freezing when Marianne finally made it back to the castle, crunching through the shadows towards the servant’s doors on the far right edge of the castle walls. It seemed like years as Marianne tramped on, snow clumping on her boots and pants. The princess was absolutely exhausted, stumbling over her own feet as she tried to catch her breath. Her vision was swimming and it was sheer willpower pushing her forwards at this point, and she braced her hands on the door, struggling to find the energy to push it forwards. Thankfully, she didn’t have to.
The door swung inwards, and Marianne fell forwards, right into a set of metal-covered arms. Oh, no-- nobody was supposed to be here! She nearly panicked, hiding her face in her savior’s chest. Perhaps if she could get away without them seeing her face, the plan could still be salvaged. They were both silent for a few heartbeats, and suddenly the guard spoke.
“M… Marianne? Princess-- I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” Sir Roland’s endearing drawl drifted to her ears and her eyes snapped up to his face. Torch light cast shadows all around him but the flames made his gorgeous green eyes and golden hair absolutely glow. It was all Marianne could do to smile, face red from the cold and embarrassment.
“Well… you found me!” She chuckled breathlessly, before her eyelids slipped closed and her world went black.
--- --- --- --- ---
She was warm, that’s what her brain registered before anything else. Light flickered somewhere in the room, and she was nearly swaddled in softness that smelled like cinders and flowers. Marianne wrestled her eyes open, blinking to clear sleep from them, and gazed into the fireplace beneath the hearth with relief. Somehow or another, she had made it back to her own royal chambers, but… Marianne nearly choked and lurched in an attempt to sit up as she remembered her encounter with Roland, before her stomach turned and she groaned, sinking back down into the pillows.
Dawn startled at her side, and shushed her as she helped her sister recline. “Marianne, lay back! You must be exhausted, and hungry too! Your stomach has been growling in your sleep.” She covered a giggle behind her hand, and as suddenly as her mirth appeared it was dashed and replaced with indignant anger. “You were gone way longer than you promised! It was nearly two days, you have no idea the tricks I had to pull to keep Daddy off your tracks!”
Marianne could only smirk tiredly, pushing herself instead into a semi-sitting position against her pillows. “I know, I know, and I owe you big time! Buuuuut… the plan worked! I found them-- Bog of the Black Oak even made me--” Her voice slipped into a conspiring whisper, “a love potion!” She pumped her fist in the air and the sister’s gripped each other’s hands excitedly. As they celebrated, Dawn leaned behind her and slid a tray from Marianne’s desk, laden with stew, bread, and a few sweets snatched from the kitchen, much to the starving woman’s delight. As she ate, Marianne regalled her sister with tales of her journey, the creatures she saw in the forest, her conversation with Bog and Griselda… but she neglected to include the details about the unsavory clause she agreed to..
“You sure are talkative about this mysterious Booog character.” Dawn folded her hands under her chin and batted her eyelashes teasingly. “I always knew that you were into tall, dark and handsome!”
The elder princess couldn’t help but laugh, swatting her sister’s arm in return. “No way! I sweat that Bog is-- he was borderline evil, a real wacko! There is no way that Roland could ever be as cruel as him. I am into men of honor, men of character. I can’t be sure just what that sorcerer is capable of.” She swallowed thickly, thinking of the pleading way in which Bog had said her name, how he had tempted her into that deal with the way that he looked at her. The sorcerer had promised her something that some people can never achieve… Love. And now, because of her rash decision, there was a chance that Dawn would never have that either.
Dawn watched her closely, mulling over her statement before letting it win her over. For as long as she could remember, Marianne had always been an amazing judge of character, looking deep into the words and actions of the people around her to reveal their true colors. She gently took Marianne’s hand between her own and gave it a trusting squeeze.
“Heck, you met him, I didn’t! He must have been a real bastard for you to talk about him like that. After all, you’re just a big softy at heart.” Marianne smiled and laughed, scolding Dawn for her language and swinging a pillow at her face. Before the pillow fight could escalate, there was a serious of raps on Marianne’s chamber door, startling the pillow out of Marianne’s hand and sending it careening to the other side of the room. The duo exchanged gleeful gasps when a sultry voice, muffled by the thick wood, called out.
“Princess? I hope I ain’t disturbing you… I was just hoping to see that you were feeling better.” The Head of the Royal guard indeed sounded hopeful. The younger princess was in a tizzy while she gathered the tray and rushed to the door, flinging it wide open with a signature bubbly grin.
“Rooooooland! Of course you’re not disturbing her! I was just leaving actually, why don’t you come in?” Dawn practically purred, sidestepping the knight while leaving the door wide for his entrance. With a not-so-subtle wink to her flushing sister, Dawn was gone, the smell of lilac lingering in the air.
Marianne was out of bed in a flash as Roland entered, shutting the door softly behind him. She was dressed in her favorite nightgown, an ankle-length gown of soft cotton dyed a lovely shade of magenta, and for modesty she shrugged on the silken robe hanging on the post of her bed. The satchel containing her potion was there as well, and as discretely as she could, Marianne plunged her hand inside, grasping the bottle and slipping it out. She thrust the bottle into her rumpled comforter, and took a seat beside it, crossing her ankles and trying desperately to seem demur in her flustered state. Marianne waited a few moment’s for her guest to speak, and cast her eyes to his form when he didn’t.
Roland was posturing in her vanity mirror, having been distracted by playing with his curls. His armor was plated with gold and white accents that were just as polished and gleaming as always, making him appear like a holy vision of courage. Marianne quirked a brow and smiled softly to himself; if she was half as good-looking as him, wouldn’t she admire herself every now and then too? It took her clearing her throat once softly to grab his attention; Roland had the decency to look slightly embarrassed, covering the flush in his cheeks by sweeping over to her side and sinking to one knee. He smoldered up at her, intentionally or not, and took her right hand between both of his.
“My lady, Princess Marianne, you gave me quite a fright last evening-- you looked near frozen to death in my arms! Like a fairy caught in the cold, fluttering and shivering. You looked… beautiful.” Roland smiled, and Marianne nearly fainted all over again.
“Sir Roland, I can’t thank you enough for all of your help. I must have just lost track of time while out and about yesterday, and the cold snuck up on me. You’re like my knight in shining armor… literally.” Marianne giggled sweetly, her free hand pressed to her blushing cheek. Why couldn’t she stop laughing, she sounded so ditzy! Oh… she needed to hurry and use the potion, this was an opportunity that she wasn’t about to waste.
Marianne stood from the bed daintily, feigning a gasp and secretly folding the bottle into the folds of her robe as she held them closed. With a few carefully calculated steps, she stalked back to the vanity mirror as if suddenly distraught about her appearance. “Oh, goodness gracious, I can’t believe I invited you in while I looked such a state! Please, forgive me, Sir Roland.”
Not surprisingly, the knight followed right behind her, clutching her shoulders reassuringly and stirring up butterflies in her stomach. “No, my dearest lady, don’t fret now! I promise you, you look… just fine!” His eyes drifted from her face to his own, blowing a puff of air towards his curl to readjust it.
“You’re too kind…” Marianne faltered, her heart clenching in her chest. Here he was, her one true love, so close to her. But Dawn had just been here, so happy that her sister was returned home and unharmed. Would she ever get to feel how Marianne was feeling now? Would she ever forgive her sister from taking that away from her?
No… No, Marianne had promised to change her fate before even accepting the potion, and she was a woman of her word.
It was now or never; within the folds of her robe, Marianne worked the cork from the bottle, clutching it in her hand and the neck of the bottle in the other. Sending a silent prayer to any god that would listen, she whirled in his grasp, her lithe form slipping from his fingers easily as she splashed the bottle upwards. A substance, a curious marriage between a liquid and powder, filled the air and forced the princess to squeeze her eyes shut and hold her breath lest the potion be more effective on her than on him. She waited one, two, three of Roland’s coughs and dared to peek up at him. Roland was rubbing his eyes and gazing at her with an emotion so strong she wasn’t sure it could be that it was only love; it was closer to unadulterated passion and devotion. Her knees were so weak she had to reach out and clutch at his arms for support. Roland wanted to be closer to her, and drew her into his embrace as if he were clutching a bouquet of roses..
“Never knew I could feel like this…” Roland spoke softly and deeply, a tantalizing baritone that made Marianne’s heart falter. “Like I’ve never see the sky before…” His song was dripping with emotion, and Marianne couldn’t help but hug him, her face pressed to his neck to hide her tears of joy.
It was a shame-- Marianne was too lovestruck to notice that his eyes were not quite on her face as he sang, drifting to the side ever so slightly to gaze at his reflection in the mirror.

The Five (+1) Movies To Catch For the New Year
WOKE! 2020 Film Awards PReviews  
by Lucas Avram Cavazos
It is a mighty and yet daunting task this ‘2020 thing’ that is upon us. I think inherently we all know that some things are going to shift, others will change, some will expand and a lot more are likely to im/explode. Despite the factuality of it all, one constant I will always turn to, and recommend to you my lovelies, is cinematherapy. It goes without saying that some upcoming movies, which are either now or soon to be at our local VOS movie theatres, are also about to sweep some awards and with Oscar nominations going live this second week of January, I believe the movies below will soon be water cooler twawk, so me here at A Bitter Life brings you a BCN in VOSE look at the five (PLUS ONE!) films to catch before awards season intensifies.
In fact, it was a rather decent year for some great fare and not such a hodgepodge of Marvel and Disney movies forced down our throats every other week. The film I must start off with on this 2020 Film Awards Preview would be the excellent South Korean film Parasite ####-1/2, unanimously chosen as the winner of this year’s Palme d’ Or at Cannes and easily gracing the top or near-top of most film critic’s lists this year, as well it should. Telling the story of a South Korean family, the Kims, who slowly become interlopers within the confines of the uber-wealthy Park family. Starting off with one of them acting as a tutor, they slowly find a way to fill a need for the Park family, all while acting as non-related good Samaritans…that is until a botched getaway vacation and an underground bunker with a tale to tell reveal themselves and send the two families into a quagmire that must be seen and lived to be believed. (Now playing all over BCN/CAT/ESP)
Next up would be my personal favourite this year, though very closely followed by the aforementioned film! Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ####-1/2 became, at least for myself, a redeeming factor in the oeuvre of Quentin Tarantino after the meh! feelings given off by his last big screen outing a couple of years ago. Taking the tragic, real-life story of the Manson Murders that ended the life of Roman Polanski’s then-wife Sharon Tate, director Tarantino buckles his audience into their seats and sends them into a time zone tunnel to 1969 Los Angeles. One of the things that has always revolved around a Tarantino movie is the element of revenge. Here, we have a different take on a true event, but the concept is widened by the director using actors Brad Pitt, Leonardo di Caprio and even Margot Robbie as conduits of a bygone era that give a peek into a mindset and time that usually must be lived to be remembered. The fact that we, the viewing audience, feel like we were actually there in ’69 and then also given the chance to make up our own mind as to a possible different ending to the Manson family murders is mere evidence of a great director/writer who seamlessly gives us a choose-your-own-adventure saga with superb cameos. Excellent cinema once again. (Soon on DVD/Blu-ray & VOD)
The next big film that has increased the star power and respectability factor of Happy Gilmore, uh I mean, Adam Sandler is the ever-loved and heralded film Uncut Gems ####.  If we have to put some truth to power, it must be noted that part of the film’s appeal is that it is such a New York City film. When you then throw in the elements of a thriller mixed with the Diamond District of Manhattan AND a run-around plot that also includes ballers and entertainers like Kevin Garnett and The Weeknd playing themselves, what you get is a peek into  what feels like a true-life crime show playing out in front of your eyes. Add in the ever-excellent Tilda Swinton and Natasha Lyonne, as well, and even despite the long 2-1/4 hour running time, what you get is Adam Sandler, under the direction of the Safdie brothers and along with the good graces of Netflix (who will also be distributing the film in Europe), becoming the new Comeback Kid. (To be released in BCN/CAT/ESP via Netflix on Jan.31)
While we’re on the subject…Netflix. Whatever your thoughts may be on the streaming site service (and others like it), it goes without saying that VOD services have become the wave of the future. Home cinema and entertainment centres/systems are what make for the latest in silver screen viewing. For the last three-plus years, the world cinema system (not to mention film academies and award outlets) have had to adapt to a new reality few probably ever even thought of before this new digital age. Just a few days ago, perhaps showing a bit of wane after receiving the most nominations, only two actress winners took home trophies, Olivia Colman as The Queen in The Crown and Laura Dern for A Marriage Story, reviewed below. With that said, famed director/ writer/ producer Marty Scorcese decided to go the Netflix route for his (likely) last mafia opus The Irishman ####, detailing the life story and inner workings of the Philly mob, while also detailing intricacies of the Teamster unions, Jimmy Hoffa, the Kennedys and the inner workings of the US mafia and its many minions. Financed by Mexican firm Fabrica de Cine (mad side-eye and furrowed brow) amongst Netflix and other studios for international rights, the production of the film apparently ballooned up to (and some reports even say, well beyond) $160 million. With just under 8€ million reaped at the worldwide box office (taquilla) coffers, it’s fair to say that this film in all its glory should have been edited to a slightly shorter length and intended for movie theatres. It has had a fairly great response by viewers on the streaming site du jour, but even Sandra Bullock garnered hella more viewers with her formulaic thriller Bird Box earlier in the year. As a student and tutor of history, the elements of the film that stood out to me went beyond the impeccable performances, specifically by Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa, but of course De Niro and Pesci as Frank Sheeran and Russell Bufalino, as well, but it was Scorcese’s capturing of that forgotten time around which we find so many Trump supporters harkening to, and it details the trials and tribulations of the working class then…and perhaps, even now. That aside, I abhorred the expensive de-ageing CGI process to make the Italian acting kings look younger…just vile. It was like they suddenly became animated secondary characters from a dropped scene in Spielberg’s Tin Tin film a few years ago…bloody odd for a live-action mafioso epic. Still…Scorcese is the only working director who can capture that essence of a time gone by and dress it in Hollywood’s finest if overly-priced storytelling. Which brings us to the other Netflix gem to catch…but only when emotionally prepared.  (Now streaming on Netflix and select screens)
Marriage Story ####, a.k.a. that likely Oscar-nominated film that will require too many tissue moments, also makes its way to this list. Trust, I can get my heart strings pulled quite easily if the right sentiments abound, so I was non-plussed going into this because I had already heard from my film fest peops that it was a bit of a tearjerker. Undeniably, there is a brutally-displayed realness that envelops the main characters of this film, particularly actresses Scarlett Johansson and Laura Dern. Helmed by the wonderful Noah Baumbach, Johansson gives a near-best performance as former teen actress turned TV actress Nicole Barber, who separates from her NYC theatre-directing husband played by Kylo Ren himself, Adam Driver. When she takes a role and moves to LA, along with their child, things become even more real. There is a gutsy bravado that clearly makes itself beyond relevant, as the melancholy yet funny film continues, and I, for one, could hardly keep the sobs at bay with the ending of the film. This is the stuff that ‘rom-drams’ need last their heart, not that paltry shite fed to too many simpletons by Nicholas Sparks. (Now streaming on Netflix and select screens)
Aaaaaaaaand…lastly, Knives Out ####-1/2 rightly fixes itself into a final slot on this list because it is one of those long-lost wonders of vintage cinema…a star-studded quasi-whodunnit with wit and thrills and superb, serio-comedic acting by everyone involved. A mere smattering of those actors would be Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Spanish actress and Golden Globe nominee Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette and even Don friggin’ Johnson! Following an investigation into the sudden death of famed mystery writer Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer), who had just invited main members of his family to his mansion for his birthday celebration, we see the touches of a perfectly poised ensemble film. Director/writer Rian Johnson has really stepped up to the plate with the best of the new directors and fresh off his box-office behemoth Star Wars: The Last Jedi from a couple of years back, his helming a film like Knives Out really plays his hand heavily in his diversity and directing tenacity. The fact that he also wrote this fine piece of script and dialogue makes him even more worthy of a possible director nod and it goes without saying that the cast is undoubtedly the finest ensemble piece made and released in the last year, and if you’ve been seeking a classic feel of a film with a smart, sharp modern twist, this film will satiate any of those olskie-olskie longings of a nostalgic murder mystery that makes you feel good after you leave the cinema. (Now playing in BCN/CAT/ESP)

hi i want to talk abt foi bc its legit among the coolest things ive done; this is long as Fuck but the book is longer i just really wanna talk,, abt this,,
it’s a high fantasy set on the northernmost side of a huge desert (a sea borders its northern side; beyond the sea is a country filled with plains and forests)
there were seven tribes (i still need to look up definitions and see if thats the most accurate term for what im goin for; im thinking abt just using ‘city’ tbh but yknow) in the desert:
-the riches tribe, whose people could shape gemstones and metals (think metalbending but add precious stones in the mix; each person can only control one thing and ur power is usually decided by the stars or some shit)
-the elements tribe, who could control the forces of wind, fire, water, or stone (now LITERALLY think atla; powers are passed down genetically and a few people can control two elements if their parents controlled different ones)
-the land, sky, and sea tribes, who could control animals related to their tribe (land tribe ppl can also learn to turn into their favored animal, sky tribe ppl grow wings as toddlers, sea tribe ppl can breathe underwater & usually live in the sea on the northern border of the desert bc they dont do well on land; powers are decided based on the animals’ preferences – e.g. if ravens had a specific affinity for a kid in the sky tribe the kid would grow raven wings and be able to communicate with and eventually control ravens)
-the time and space tribes, who destroyed each other 60 years ago, and have the power to speed, slow, or even stop time during the hour of their birth, or manifest physical objects from glowing blue energy that makes up everything in the world (also can see in the dark, i guess?)
60 years ago, a huge war happened between the seven tribes, wiping out the space tribe completely (except for one person; more on that later) and destroying all but 200 of the time tribe, who repopulated to about 1,000, and ruining a Lot of stuff in the other five tribes. for the most part the remaining 5 tribes (minus the time tribe for Reasons) have rebuilt themselves but hints of the past war linger. no one is aware that the time tribe survived (they rebuilt their city FAR from the original location). the time and space tribes faded from public consciousness pretty quickly since all their historical records were destroyed; most of the knowledge about them now is legends and myths
in the present day, 5 children (one from each of the remaining tribes) who lost various loved ones to the same glowing blue knives (created, ofc, by the surviving member of the space tribe, ebon (…courtesy of 2012 me’s genius naming skills, they’re all gonna be like this it’s part of the aesthetic), though the kids dont know that or even recognize it as a space tribe power) are approached by an old man (guess who! its ebon) who claims to be the last surviving member of the space tribe and apparently has evidence that the time tribe is plotting revenge and theyre the ones that killed the kids’ families and he speaks of a supposed prophecy that 5 kids who the time tribe had stolen from are gonna defeat the time tribe once and for all
the kids (and at this point, hopefully the reader too) are the wrong kind of genre savvy, and believe they’ve been approached by gandalf or some shit, and each end up Accepting The Call
(meanwhile back at the time tribe, the king and his rebellious teenage son talk about the future of the time tribe. teenage son, midnight (heyy GUESS what hour hes able to use his powers) learns to use Time Powers that are suspiciously dissimilar to the ones ebon was talking abt the ppl from the time tribe being able to use. midnight uses his powers to get more sleep bc his dad kinda overworks the shit out of him bc like the future of this horrifically unstable and tiny city is in midnight’s hands, basically, and we learn that Its Dangerous bc if u get stuck slowing down/speeding up time after ur 1 hour is up u basically become Time Tobias and ur trapped like that Until You Die)
if uve made it this far i think its time for a proper introduction to the 6 protags of part 1 (another is added in part 2 but we’re not there yet)
-eagle, from the sky tribe, a Massive Fuckin Jock Who Loves To Sport. shes 14 and pretty athletic but tends to chicken out when shit gets tough and so never makes it to the Fly Sport Playoffs. shes a Massive Optimist at first but then she finds her parents dead (hint: it was ebon). she deals with this throughout the novel i hope im writing her well lmao because i wanted it to have a Legit Impact on her character and not just be angst. A N Y W A Y she instantly pegs ash and emerald as The Rich Kids (ash is legit a rich kid, emerald is just from the riches tribe where they traditionally sew gems and shit into their clothes) and judges em for it
-snake, from the land tribe, a 13yo, Lonely Autistic who loves reptiles. (ok i mean. this is high fantasy and im really not sure if autism is a diagnosis in high fantasy. ive done my absolute best to code her as autistic and she is in fact autistic i just dont say it in canon bc idk how to bring it up) ppl dont like her at first because she comes across as cold but actually shes like the most adorable fuckin dork youve ever seen shes great. she doesnt talk hardly at all unless shes Super Comfortable around the people shes with, which is a challenge for me to write but tbqh shes my absolute favorite of the bunch,, also her only friend ever was a thief named lore who was (supposedly) killed by GUESS FUCKEN WHO
-ash, the 14yo daughter of one of the 4 ruling families of the elements tribe. her family’s genetic power is fire but she could never figure it out (later she discovers her power is actually water; im…..still figuring out how that works genetically she might just be adopted lmao) ebon brought her the news of her parents’ deaths and managed to kill her little sister while her back was turned; somehow she does not suspect him. shes kind of a snob and doesnt really /get/ the rest of the group and comes across pretty rude at first. (also, she and eagle deal w their very recent grief very differently but idk her exact Grief Arc yet)
-emerald, who i think is? 12? 13? i cant remember but somewhere around there; shes from the riches tribe, was orphaned as a toddler and raised by supposedly extinct desert dragons (which are basically 12-20ft desert iguanas), which were all wiped out horribly by more of ebon’s shit space weapons. she lived with ash’s family for a while when they were years younger but eventually emerald got blamed for ash’s lack of control over fire and was forced to leave, she found the riches tribe and discovered that she could metalbend emeralds lmao. shes a storyteller and raises money for orphans now i guess
-shark, a scrappy homeless 10yo from the sea tribe who will steal anything shiny enough. he has pointy teeth and an eyepatch (which covers a golden sphere in place of his eye) and hes reckless as fuKC. he was too young to remember his parents but when questioned about it he remembers blue knives (GUESS WHO). hes pretty unaware that sharks are infact chaotic neutral sea predators who do not give a shit about him even if he can communicate with them and he starts the novel with a Pretty Serious Bite Injury™. he takes a lot of shit apart and puts it back together in horrifying ways. yknow sid from toy story? basically thats shark if sid lived underwater and was portrayed as a fundamentally good person
-midnight, the 16yo prince of the time tribe, a Rebellious Teen™ who doesnt want responsibility and has Horrible Insomnia. he thinks his dad is Evil And Controlling and probably listens to heavy metal behind his back (meanwhile his dad is actually pretty decent just busy as Fuck trying to keep the time tribe from accidentally inbreeding collapsing and trying to show midnight how to lead; hes overprotective but not evil). he broke a pattern of various people born at midnight/noon alternating every century and people think hes Destined For Greatness™ or some shit; he is having absolutely none of that will someone let this child sleep instead of waking him up in the middle of the night to practice magic
anyway yea thats p much all ive edited so far and tbqh i dont remember a whole lot of details but That Is My Book!

Sing (2016) Notes (OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS)
Just some notes for people who want to write fanfics or something for the movie, but forget the order of certain events happening. This list states the different main plot points that happen and certain songs that each character sings during the movie. (Obviously, there is spoilers for the entire movie. So if you haven’t seen it, don’t read. Capeche? Good.) So use this list to your leisure!
Just some side notes
-For personal purposes I’m calling Meena's family the "Inis".
-For people who don't know, Mike's love interest got her name revealed: Nancy. Just to let y'all know.
-I’m still not 100% sure when exactly Mike and Nancy escape the gangster bears for the first time at the club. If anybody would like to help clarify, I’ll appreciate it.
-The way I know about what day of the week each day was is because Eddie told Buster about his schedule: With the meeting with Nana Noodleman being on Wednesday. It also mentions how the final show is on Saturday, so I just worked from there.
-I’m just assuming that this whole story takes place in a one week time period (minus the ending scene). If info comes out about how long apart each event is, then I’ll come back to edit this correctly. (And I know it seems weird for Rosita sending her kids off to school on a Sunday. So maybe... Sunday School? IDK man, I don’t have all the info.)
•Flyer Making day (Saturday): After having a flashback on his childhood theater love (watching Nana Noodleman sing "Golden Slumbers" by The Beatles as a child), Buster bails on meeting his angry underpaid crew and bank Judith, going to meet Eddie for lunch. Moon talks about a singing competition, gets kicked out for bringing in lunch, then goes back to make flyers. Miss Crawley accidentally turns the "$1,000 prize" into "$100,000 prize", and sends the flyers soaring out the window through the city.
•Meanwhile Throughout the City: Johnny messes up with a bank heist job while singing ("The Way I Feel Inside" by "Zombies"), Mike is playing sax for money ("Take Five" by Paul Brubeck) and steals some money from a baboon. Meena is celebrating her grandpa's birthday, Rosita is singing ("Firework" by Katy Perry) but is feeling under-appreciated by Norman and her kids, Ash and Lance fail to get a gig with one of their songs ("I Don't Wanna" by themselves). They all get the flyers and are ambitious for tomorrow.
•Auditions (Sunday): Buster wakes up to a ginormous line and starts auditions (If you'd like to know which song each animal sings, look up "Sing Cast Auditions (lyrics and real song name))". Johnny arrives on his skateboard, Rosita leaves the house after she gets her kids to leave for school, Mike gets interviewed in line about auditions, Ash and Lance play their song during auditions (”I Don’t Wanna” by themselves), and they all do great. Meena however, fails to sing her song ("Chandelier" by Sia) and is pushed off of the stage by Mike (Who proceeds to sing “Pennies from Heaven” by Louis Prima). Meena goes back home, kicking a tree on her way out, causing it to lose all of its leaves. The winners of auditions are chosen (Mike, Johnny, Rosita, Gunter, Pete, Frog Trio), but Buster just now finds out about the typo from Eddie. Continues on the show anyways. 
•After Auditions: The Ini family makes muffins and grandpa tells Meena to march back and demand to try again and Meena agrees, Ash argues with his boyfriend about selling out, Mike meets Nancy for the first time (trying to serenade her by playing "The Girl from Ipanema" by Antônio Carlos), Johnny gets the escape plan for the gold heist and Rosita tries to get a nanny (failing after telling she has 25 kids) and builds her grand machine to take care of the house, staying up all night to finish it, then leaving early in the morning for practice.
•Practice Day 1 (Monday): Buster gives out the song sheets to the winners, Frog trio immediately starts to argue, Japanese Foxes think they're in and practice, Rosita and Gunter start their regular dancing (with Gunter showing his dancing suit), Mike HAS his sass to the pigs, Ash complains about her songs and the blackout happens. Meena helps out with blackout and gets accepted as the stage hand.
•After practice day 1: Mike gets platinum card and car to swoon Nancy, Ash talks about writing a song to Lance who denounces it, Inis invite the street for party for Meena, Johnny practices driving for the heist escape, Bank Judith confronts Moon about money (by the end of the month must pay up), Buster and Eddie hang and Buster learns about Nana Noodleman’s fortune. 
•Practices day 2 (Tuesday): Meena IS getting better at stage handling but rejects audition offer, Mike almost gets crushed while practicing (while singing "Let's Face the Music and Dance" by Fred Astaire), Pete gets sent to hospital, Frog trio breaks up, Japanese Foxes storm off. Rosita and son (Casper) try to practice with Gunter with dance sheets (and fails), Buster convinces Ash to sing "Call Me Maybe" (by Carly Rae Jepsen), Johnny isn't good with piano practices and gets called back early by his father.
•After Practices Day 2: Ash finds Lance cheating with Becky and kicks him out, Mike and Nancy escapes from the bears.
•Dress Rehersal DAY 3 (Wednesday): Buster meets Nana Noodleman and convinces her for a dress rehearsal for money, Johnny tries and fails to do both Job and Rehersal (singing "All of Me" by John Legend) at the same time and gets his gang in prison, Mike has a new suit, Ash cries while singing "Call me Maybe", Rosita comforts Ash but doubts on her talent (when singing "Shake it Off" by Taylor Swift) and bails, Mike insults Rosita's talent.
•After practice Day 3: Ash rips up photos and starts work on her song ("Set it All Free"), Johnny and father argue, Johnny tries to steal money and ends up taking more piano lessons (playing a calmer version of "Im Still Standing" by Elton John), Rosita gets her groove back (dancing to "Bamboléo" by Gypsy Kings), Meena and Buster work all night to get the theater into squid theater.
 •Nana Noodleman Show Day 4 (Thursday): Rosita's machine breaks down, Johnny perfects piano song, Ash shows Buster her song, Rosita comes back, Meena finally accepts a part in the show. (ORDER: Mike, Pig duo, Johnny, Ash, Meena). Nana arrives, BEARS notice Mike's car and find mike, Buster shows off the squid stage (Dancing to "Flashing Lights" by Kanye West), bears interrupt performance. Real Prize money is shown, Mike gaslights, theater is destroyed. 
•After crash (Thursday night): Mike hides in sewers from bears, Rosita finds family in machine, Inis comfort Meena, Johnny's dad doesn't talk to Johnny, Ash grieves over lance, Theater land is reclaimed by bank Judith and Buster moves in with Eddie.
•Day two after Crash (Friday): Gang comes to comfort Moon but he turns them all away, Meena storms off after Buster calls them both failures, Buster and Eddie car wash fun times, Buster hears Meena sing ("Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley), Gang comes together to build a stage for the show (most likely takes two days).
•Performance Day (before performances) (Saturday): Eddie becomes new stage hand so Meena can have her part in the show, Mike bails after hearing that there's no prize money, and in audience from the start are the Inis and Rosita's family among others. Not many people show up at the start.
•Showtime: Buster faces wrong way at the start, but keeps going with the show.
-Pig duo do their act ("Shake it Off" by Taylor Swift), Mike goes back to prove watchers wrong about doing better, Norman makes amends with Rosita. More people arrive.
-Johnny begins performance ("I'm still Standing" by Elton John), dad breaks out of prison to meet him, Ash' prepares for her song, but Johnny still has doubts about himself as his father gets more police to chase after him.
-Bank Judith arrives and cuts off Ash's song ("Set it All Free" by herself), continues anyways, Judith calls police, Lance falls for Ash again, quills fly, but people loved it. Japanese foxes also show up to cheer on Ash. Johnny's dad escapes police.
-Mike shows back up and begins ("My Way" by Frank Sinatra), bears and Nancy race to Mike, Johnny and his father make amends, police arrive, Mike gets lifted up from helicopter draft, rolls with it and makes a good finisher. Watchers cry from amazement, Johnny's father leaves.
-Bears arrive, Buster helps Meena overcome stage fright, but slips up with the mic again, turning away Mike. Meena begins (Singing "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" by Stevie Wonder) gentle and slow, drawing Mike in again, and then goes full force, becoming cheerful and peppy as she sings. Bears arrive and take Mike, but Nancy saves her and the two drives away (unknowing of the bear on the back). Meena literally brings down the house, finishes up, and the group takes a bow.
•After show (time lapse unknown): Nana Noodleman buys the land from Bank Judith for Buster and rebuilds the theater, new and improved. Group and Buster (minus Mike...) meet up for the grand reopening of the Moon Theater, and the movie ends after the ribbon is cut.

the lake (working title)
Giles x MC
Author’s Notes: A very very very late Secret Santa gift for the astoundingly talented @agrossivepatato (Hi it's me theempresskaizer) I debated whether I should draw something for you or make something artsy but since my strength lies in writing, I decided I should stick with that and simply give you something I made up. Because Im good at making things up and writing them down. At least I think I am. It took so long but I hope you enjoy this! Please look forward to the second chapter! (Yes I'm sorry there's a second chapter but I want to post this before the 6th of January and then I saw your post amd felt incredibly embarrassed and guilty so I'm posting this now :D)
Notes: lots of liberality was taken. Characters belong to cybird except for the Princess whom I fashioned after a dear friend. I like to mention and thank @emigotchi for putting up with my insane questions about winter :) also I'm on mobile so all editing with the format will be done once I get a laptop again I'm sorry
Summary: It's winter again in Wysteria and the Winter Ball is about to take place. Everything has been prepared by Giles and the Princess Elect. They've done this before. This is is the third Winter Ball after all since the princess was selected. So why is he anxious? 
Chap 01/02
Giles Christophe woke up with a start, his leg jerking against empty air as he gasped. His whole body felt as if it had dropped from a height and yet he lay perfectly still. It took a few moments for him to realize that he was lying on his side and that the the prickling sensation in his arm was because he had his hand in-between his head and pillow. It was just a dream, a faraway memory that has not crossed his mind in years.
And that in itself, felt strange.
Most nights, Giles did not dream. It was as if all that he needed to do was to lay on his bed and pull up the covers; with just a few winks, he would have already dozed off. Few men of similar political positions could be lulled into a peaceful slumber so quickly. Some were haunted by memories, others by sin, and most found it as a kind of just chastisement that they were deprived of that one natural human act that could make them forget the things they had done or had failed to do, even if temporarily.
It was not that his life was uneventful or unmemorable. Hardly. The duties that came with being the Wysterian Royal Adviser were more than enough to keep him constantly moving from one side of the palace to the other. Besides, it would be naive to think that any person who was the right hand man of any monarch would not have skeletons in their closet. Giles would never admit it just to anyone but he had his own. And then some.
Only, Giles found it impractical to lose what precious sleep he could have over a few secrets. He always made it a point that he should sleep whenever he could because sleep meant he was rested and being rested meant more work could be done. The moment one task was finished, two more sprang in its place. Any sort of delay would only end with him spending more time than necessary on a certain project and that meant time lost. Time lost in turn meant more time would be wasted on paperwork. And more time wasted on paperwork meant less time with his beloved. And he simply will not have that.
So sleep was never an issue nor was it ever restless for Giles.
It should not be.
Especially not tonight.
Ardiana was snuggled behind him, her face pressed against his back, arm comfortably wrapped around him. It was one of those rare nights when they could meet, and both of them had made the most out such a golden opportunity; a precious night when neither of their duties interfered with their romance. Pleasantly exhausted, they had spent the last few conscious moments snuggling and Giles vaguely remembered whispering into Adriana’s ear before closing his eyes.
So why did he dream that dream?
He took two deep breaths, three, trying his best to calm down his pounding heart. It was slamming against his ribs and he worried that its tremors would wake Ardiana up. He closed his eyes, concentrated on his breathing, but the moment his vision was shrouded by darkness, the memories returned to him.
Coldness.
Sinking.
Giles forced his eyes open and frowned.
Sleep, it looked like it, would not return to him tonight.
Slowly, he extracted himself from the bed, careful not to wake Ardiana. She had had a long day of doing nothing but help him in the preparations for the year’s Winter Ball. She deserved the deep slumber. He watched as her chest rose and fell in a steady and even rhythm. Then he realized that he had been staring, and he smiled, and he felt himself grow warmer at the thought of being captivated by her even at her most vulnerable. Giles reached out towards her, lightly caressing her cheek, tucking stray hairs behind her ear. She looked exquisite.
He pulled up the covers over her before he made his way to the table near his window where he usually kept the stronger liquor.
It had been a while since had dreamed that dream.
He was seven when it had happened.
The Crawfords were hosting a week-long party in their lakeside villa to celebrate their twins’ seventh name-day. It had been the talk of the entire Court months before it had even happened, and when the invitations were finally distributed and one found its way into Lord Christophe’s hands, Giles had been more than ecstatic. He and the twins, Leo and Alyn, were as close as brothers and the idea of spending a week with no tutors or training had excited him. He had been unable to talk of anything else and had been beside himself with joy until finally he had burst through the Crawford’s large oak doors to be greeted by none other than the twins themselves. Louis and Sid, then called Lloyd, had followed after the twins and after much excited talking and abrupt planning, they did what seven year olds did best during a sunny winter day.
They had played in snow.
It had started with running. A lot of running. As far away from the villa as was possible. And all it took was an offhanded remark and the races had become snowball fights and from there they began making forts. It had snowed overnight according to the twins and there was much material even for a bigger than life snowman, or three. When they were too tired to do anything else, they panted and they teased and they laughed, oblivious to any sort of obligation except those that needed immediate attention. Like hunger. Only when Alyn had declared he was ravenous (and they teased him for using such a word) did they began their march back to the villa.
What made the Crawfords’ lakeside villa  the ideal place to host winter parties, and the envy of the entire court, was because it stood at the perfect distance to the edge of a huge lake. Short enough to walk but far away enough for anyone who desired to be painted with a picturesque view. At the other side of the lake was a forest, where game was plenty, and the eastern end of the Sierra Madre, which perpetually covered in snow and acted both as a scenic display during sunrise and a breaker against harsh weather.
Not that any of this mattered to children then. But as they thought of fireplaces and warm cocoa, and how they could sneak an extra cookie or two before dinner, they had to pass by the lake. And Giles Christophe, seven years old then, with his head full of dreams and his soul untouched by heartache, had paused to take a good look.
He had been to the villa numerous times before but never during winter. He had stared at the vast frigid expanse, captivated by the stillness that had now replaced the boats and the people and the birds. He could still remember watching a hawk dive in at incredible speeds before soaring back to the sky with game in its claws. But this memory of the hawk did not belong in the winter and at that specific moment, with their coats and their boots and their gloves and scarves, there had been no signs of life. Only quiet. Only tranquility. As if someone had placed a blanket of white to mourn the death of a landscape.
The change had looked eerie to him.
Part of his brain had told him that there was still water underneath but when all he could see was endless unmoving blue and black lined by white streaks, it had seemed impossible. He had wondered if any animals were even able to break through the ice to fish or if the fish underneath were still alive for that matter or if they were as frozen as the surface.
If there was moving water at all, only nature and common sense verified this -a tiny voice in his head - because to the young Giles, the frozen lake was not just a lake.
It was a yawning void. It was an empty night sky. And he had stood on the edge and imagined himself dancing over the horizon.
How much insight or precaution could a seven year old child be expected to carry? Enough to know the difference between a wasp and a bee, of course. Enough to know which stone would fit well into a slingshot. Enough to know the perfect weight of a perfect snowball for a perfect shot. Enough to know about the myths and the gods and their funny and complicated relationships with mortals. Enough to know that one shouldn’t fly too close to sun.
Or skim above the surface of a void for that matter.
And he was Giles Christophe. He knew all this and more. He wielded a sword when his peers could only jokingly poke with sticks.  He was the eldest child of their family; heir to the Christophe name; favored student and talented protege. And though he was just seven, he was told that he would become a knight one day and serve the crown valiantly like his father, and his father’s father before him, just as all Christophe sons had done as far back when the First Kings had no names and the old gods whispered to men in the trees.
Much was expected from him.
But he was young. Far too young. Tales of his future valiant deeds were nothing more than stories told to him before he went to sleep; promises of glory and duty and service the crown could hold his attention for only as long his tutors spoke of them, forgotten instantly the moment another topic was brought up. And though he might be a Christophe, and he was being shaped rigorously to fit into the future envisioned for him, Giles was still like all children his age.
For one, he had never been shy about exploring the world around him.
“Don’t.” Louis had said even before Giles could voice the idea that had formed inside his mind.
“Don’t what?” Giles had asked, changing course and heading towards the edge of the lake. He had then squatted down and brushed his hand over the ice. Nothing had changed. Only the depth of the lake stared back at him. He then pressed both hands down, and for a brief moment, he had thought he could feel the water moving, a slow rhythmic pulse underneath his palm.
“I’ve never walked on this much ice before.” Sid had confessed, crouching beside Giles.
“It’s not easy.” Louis had added with a solemnity that only a seven-year-old could do. “You could slip anytime.”
“I don’t slip.” Sid had scowled.
“Father says the ice is frozen enough to walk on last night.” Leo had taken a confident leap towards the lake. He wobbled for a second but then stood proudly with his hands on his waist.
“How did he know?” Louis had asked, dubious still.
“You measure it by sticking in long sticks.”Giles had replied, remembering how he had watched the servants in his home pierce the frozen rivers with metal poles.
“Eight inches is perfectly good for standing on.” Alyn sat down with a loud plomp at the edge.
“That’s almost a foot of ice!”
“Yeah.” Leo had said. “Which makes it safe.”
“Ice is never completely safe.” Louis had cautioned.
“Let’s go back already.” Alyn had whined. “We can explore more after we’ve eaten.”
But Alyn’s pleas had not reached his friends, at least not Giles in particular. Giles had already made up his mind. He took a step. And then another. Half of him expected it to be slippery or that he would lose his balance at first like Leo had. Thankfully, his feet had stayed where he placed them. Sid had followed suit, and Louis could only sigh before resigning himself and joining Alyn on the snow.
“I call a dare!” Sid had suggested. “The person who gets further away from this point gets all the dessert!”
“What’s tonight’s dessert?” Giles had asked.
Chocolate cake.”
“I’m in.” Leo was already walking away with determined steps.
“Idiots.” Louis had tried to reason but then what was caution really to a band of brave seven year olds?
Leo, Sid, and Giles  began moving away from land, inching their way cautiously on the ice. Sometimes they slipped and sometimes someone was shoved and they would laugh at their own frightened yelps before moving on.
Thoughts of prudence were only at the very edges of Giles mind. He kept his eyes on the ice most of the time, reminding himself of what his father taught him, but the entire dare had been a thrilling and different experience. He had begun imagining himself as having conquered the endless black void. The thought had made him giddy; it was as if he was ready to glide on a pitch black night sky.
It had felt surreal.
Thus with each foot further away from where they started, the frozen lake looked more and more inviting, and less and less a perilous black arena.
It had seemed almost like a fairy tale.
Almost.
Leo had been the first to back out. “Actually,” He had said, stopping in his tracks. “We should all go back. The ice doesn't look as thick here.”
“Coward!” Alyn had taunted from the back. Leo had smoldered from where he stood but did not move.
“Yeah, I don’t like this either.” Sid had said, much to the rest of the group’s surprise. “Giles, don’t take another step.”
“Not gonna fall for it.” Giles had shot back, stepping forward with purpose.
“Don’t be daft!” Louis had shouted from the edge, standing up.
“Not even Father went this far.” Leo had explained, turning to Giles. “Let’s go back.”
But Giles was never one for turning back. And even as a kid, he would not voluntarily give up his dessert. He had looked from Leo to Sid, motioned towards Alyn and Louis,then said, “We haven’t even walked more than a few feet!”
“Don’t be stubborn.”
“Well this better not be some sort of trick.”
“Let’s just go!” Leo had insisted.
“Not until you forfeit!”
"You stubborn ass.” Sid had said.
“I’m being practical.”
“And an idiot for chocolate!” Sid had pressed, turning back and heading for the edge.
There had been a moment of indecision. Giles had watched as Leo and Sid started to inch their way back towards safety. Then he had glanced back at the white expanse behind them - at the trees and the shadows and the mountain. He looked down at his feet, at the ice, at the darkness below, and then he took a step.
“Giles, what are you doing?” Alyn’s anxious voice had cut through the chatter and the others turned to look at him.
“Giles, you moron!”
“That’s far enough!” Leo had warned him. “Come back!”
But Giles had not listened. Instead, he had continued walking on the frozen lake just as he had been taught; cautiously and unhurriedly, checking the ice before putting in his full weight. He continued until he could no longer hear Sid’s or Leo’s warnings, or Alyn promising him two slices of cake. Twice he had thought of stopping and turning back but the memory of his father’s expectations made him remember the myths that he had been taught; he remembered what he knew and who he was, and how he was bound for great things, and this prevented him from listening even to his own inner reason. So he had continued until there was only whiteness in his vision and stopped only when he was certain that he had walked farther into the lake than any other of his friends could ever dare.
He turned back to them and waved.
A hushed silence first greeted his success. And then Alyn had whooped, with Louis and Leo clapping for him. Sid had shook his head and raised his hands in defeat but he had been smiling.
Giles had grinned back. And he had felt a surge of emotion in his chest, a warmth that started from his heart and spread throughout his body. It felt good. It felt delightful. It could have been the best memory that Giles could ever have of what little good memories there were left.
But then it felt cold.
