#like Robby would be an adorable big brother but that is not the point

I’ve binge read your completed cobra Kai fics on AO3 and I just want to say you have an amazing gift and I am literally gonna go back and reread them now even tho I only finished yesterday! If you’re gonna write any more Robby-Johnny centered fics especially now that the newest season is out with the addition of a new baby, I would literally be the first reader!
Thank you for making my week better ❤️
Aww thank you so much!
Tumblr media
Robby and Johnny really caught my attention. In this dumb karate soap opera, what those two had going on was genuinely riveting for me. I felt properly inspired. I really wanted them to have a better relationship and when the show wouldn't give it to me, I wrote it myself. I'm super fond of Good Boy and No Be There as writing projects.
But daaayyum, the babyplot in season 5 kinda killed my inspiration stone-dead.
I have an idea to re-write the way Robby and Johnny and Miguel work through their issues without the babyplot, simmilar to what I did with No Be There after season 4. I'd take the plot beats of the season 5 but re-work it to be more emotionally satisfying.
(I'd also like to re-introduce the continuity fairy, because the idea that Robby has healthy, well-adjusted grandparents that he normally spends the summer with going fishing and hiking was just thrown out there with no explanation this season, all to service the babyplot???? so, like, I want to be consistent with what has been established as canon prior to that).
So yeah, that's an idea I've been tossing around in my head, and hopefully I'll write it. But it's a bit of a struggle atm because the babyplot did Robby and Johnny so dirty - but in a way that sapped all the narrative tension out of their relationship. Lack of narrative payoff is a bit of an inspiration killer for me.
So I can't make you any promises, but I do have some ideas.

EarthSpark Pokémon Teams: Maltos
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Made from Pokecharms Trainer Card Maker
This was a challenge since we're still relatively early in the series, but I think I did good with these teams.
Honestly, I think Dot was the easiest here. I gave her Talonflame and Braviary because those are tough birds and she seems to like nature, and she has a bird chart. Kangaskhan since she is a fierce, loving, and devoted mother, and a female Pyroar for that and to match her husband, Alex's male Pyroar. And Stoutland and Watchog goes with her ranger job.
Alex was honestly the hardest out of these four. He has Balie-style Oricorio and Skeledirge for his Filipino heritage, and Mandibuzz kind of reminds me of the Wakwak. I also gave him a male Pyroar to match Dot's female Pyroar because they are happily married and devoted to their family. Combee is here due to his admiration for Bumblebee and it was looks like those Bumblebee merchandise that Bee thought didn't look like him and Golurk kind of reminds of a Transformers, he knows Cybertronian history, and this is a historic themed pokemon.
I imagine Robby having experience as a trainer at this point, so while not all his Pokémon are fully evolved, they are at least in their middle stages. I wanted to focus on Pokémon found in Unova, since at the beginning, Robby was missing City life in Philadelphia before adapting in Witwicky, and Unova is basically the big city in region form. Anyway, due to being a rather protective older brother, he has a Simisage, Heracross, and Lucario. Tranquil reminds me of city pigeons, so he has that, and Electabuzz as his ace since he's smart enough to make a makeshift satellite. And Vibrava kind of reminds me of Twitch's altmode, so he has it to highlight his connection to her.
Similar to Robby, Mo's would have some experience that some of her Pokémon have evolved at least to their middle stage, but she still has less experience than Robby, so they would still be in earlier stages. She strikes me as emotional intelligent, so I wanted to give her Pokémon that evolve through friendship/happiness, and her ace is Kirilia as it is called the 'Emotion Pokémon'. I also gave her Skiddo because it's a mount Pokémon and to sort of highlight her connection with Thrash, who turns into a motorcycle, but it's also cute and it kinda reminds of Fluffy Ears, the calf everyone adores.
Once we get more episodes that develop the Terrans more, I'll make their teams.

Tumblr media
Though the manors games were cruel and ruthless it shocked you the most to see children dragged into this game, especially with one of the children being one of the manors hunters.
You and Robbie's first interaction was in a match against him, for a child he was a extremely proficient hunter and quite enjoyed this game of "hide and seek" between the hunters and survivors. You honestly don't know how the kid got here but he's either mentally fucked or being manipulated to play these games, most likely a mix of both. However, he's still a child at heart.
After the match Robbie surprisingly seeks you out first, asking if you two could play together again sometime. You kited the longest in that match so you assumed Robbie liked a long chase and just wanted someone to play with so he wouldn't get bored. Though you couldn't see his eyes or his face at all due to the cloth covering his head a sense of childlike wonder and happiness radiated from him while he awaited your answer. You agreed to the childs request of playing and it seemed like the area around you lit up with joy as the child cheered and thanked you, running off and saying he'll come get you when he wants to play.
After that you became Robbies signature playmate and the person he'd go to first to ask to play, you'd spend hours just playing tag, hide and seek, hopscotch, really anything Robbie wanted to do. Sometimes he'd ask for stories and you'd think of any tale you could tell him that wasn't too mature for him. One day he told you he wanted to tell you a story and began telling you about the tale of the juniper tree, a tale his sister Dolores always use to tell him. He loved the story and would ask her to tell him it over and over, even when they were separated in the asylum he would always sneak into her room through the window that would eventually take his life and ask her to tell the story again.
After a few weeks of this going on Robbie starts becoming glued to your side, requesting to hold your hand, for you to tell him bedtime stories, and to just be by his side. Whenever he has nightmares he runs straight to your room on the survivor side of the manor, crying underneath the leather covering his head. You held the boy in your arms whispering to him in a calming voice until he calmed down and fell back asleep. Ever since then he grew a affection for cuddles and sleeping together to the point where sometimes even without having nightmares he'd want to cuddle and sleep with you.
Your once slight weariness of this child has completely vanished and been replaced with adoration and love, you now spend all your time with him and do everything together. Robbie even does the stereotypical thing of making a stickman drawing of you two together. Due to his love of pruning he sometimes will get permission from the baron of the manor too go outside the manor and prune random trees in the forest, however he's not allowed to go out without supervision, usually he has to bring another hunter along. He now brings you along though, if you do try and escape the manor with Robbie though, the consequences will be grave.
Robbie has become extremely protective over you now that he views you as his sibling, anytime you guys get matched together he immediately goes friendly, if you were a hunter he'd adore doing duo hunters with you. Even while trapped in this hellish nightmare of a manor, you've ended up with quite the adorable little brother, haven't you?

SILVERUSSO NATION WE WERE FED we finally feasted like we deserved uggshshhh so much to say about them it should be it’s own post
CHOZEN. no words. absolute golden. s-tier.
I’m proud to announce that I single-handedly manifested Chozen/Kumiko aka Choziko NO CUZ ITS REALLY CANON NOW AND I WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY WITH MY HEADCANON MONTHS AGO re: Chozen’s feelings of guilt and about not being good enough for her???? not in a million years did I actually think it would happen I’m so!!!!
MIKE BARNES. no cuz Mike hijacking the limo and the ensuing roadside hijinks is the funniest and most entertaining thing Cobra Kai has ever done. everything they did with Mike this season was A++++ and they need to bring him back or I riot
JESSICA ANDREWS MY LOVE. am devastated she did not have a scene with Daniel (or Mike!) but I know she’ll be back now that she and Daniel are canonically family and oh my god I can’t believe that’s a sentence I just said about a thing that is true, ditto choziko, scream/
ROBBY AND DANIEL. I cried in ONE (1) scene and one scene only, Robby and Daniel talking in Miyagi’s room. and by cry I mean I straight up bawled. I waited for this for so long and I wish we got more Daniel/Robby moments but I’ll treasure this one forever.
MY KIDS. did I think the writers did Robby dirty with that half-assed reconciliation arc? yes. but listen, my joy at seeing Robby finally being happy and seeing Robby and Miguel as friends outweighs my contempt at the writing for how it all got to that point so what I can say. on the flip side, not enough Sam and Tory. but I love what we did get of them together. also this means (or should mean) that they will have their arc next season, and it’ll get proper focus since the Miguel and Robby arc has been resolved and is out of the way. anyway, looking forward to Robby and Miguel clumsily trying to get them to get along next season. should ensure a lot of Miguel/Robby and samtory content :’). ANTHONY. love that lil twerp, always have! I finally got Sam/Anthony content. PROTECT THE EGG. or was it “protect the bird”??? um whatever it was adorable!! both times! bye feeling emo about Anthony being the baby/baby brother of all of Miyagi do, ugh, it’s just too cute
LOUIE. I have unapologetically and unironically loved this idiot since s1. please continue to give us all the Anouie content
overall! plenty of things I didn’t care for or didn’t like (die, Mexico arc and Mexico yellow filter, die), as always, but for once the stuff I enjoyed outweighed the stuff I didn’t enjoy
and I mean listen as a Daniel fan I’m feeling pretty satisfied right now. finally this show put some respect on his name. finally we return to the roots of the Karate Kid universe. I’ve been saying it all along, the problem with Cobra Kai until this season has been that it has forgotten or ignored that the whole POINT of this universe is that all big strong karate men want Daniel Larusso in one way or another. but it has finally arrived at that central truth by surrounding Daniel with all his former karate nemeses and demonstrating that he still has the effortless eternal karate twink powers to overturn or change their lives just by being himself and to drive them to obsession with him and thats what I call cinema

77 Thoughts While Rewatching Supernatural 11x04: Baby
Let’s gooooooo!
1. There are, thankfully, behind the scenes photos of Jensen in those shorts. But we were robbed of Dean in his “It’s a free bunker” daisy dukes.
2. But the conceit of this episode is so great. I remember watching it for the first time and being floored and how personal it felt.
3.And the little details we see in the car that we know are there. The army man. The initials and the leggos. Just. Ugh. The great thing about having a show run this long is that there’s so much history to draw from.
4. Guitar Man playin.
5. I love that Sam just pitches in with washing Baby. Like it’s a normal thing they do together. Maybe Cas helps sometimes too.
6. And the transition from Dean spraying down the car to the rain. So good. Dangit.
7. It’s 21 hours from Lebanon, Kansas to Oregon. I always forget how long the distances they go are, because the show condenses the drives. But holy fuck that is so long.
8. LOL Sam and his smoothies. “Where’s the rest of the beer?!” Hahahaha it’s such a typical little brother move, and even Sam’s face reads “oh shit big brother mad.”
9. I love how protective they are of Cas. They really do both love him. They want him to heal.
10. Cas just cruising through Netflix. You know that at some point Dean snuck into Sam’s room and fucked with his Netflix algorithm.
11. I love this scene at the Roadhouse. “Actually she never texted me back.” For as handsome and adorable as Dean is, he’s still such a doof, and you know what? Sometimes potential romantic interests just ghost him.
12. The time lapse here is brilliant. It keeps us in the car, but also, like... we don’t need to see them hookin’ up. That’s personal.
13. “Mistakes were made. Mhm.”
14. HOW DID SAM FIT IN THE BACK SEAT WITH THAT WOMAN?! HE IS SO TALL! SHE DOES NOT LOOK SHORT! WHAT THE FUCK IS THE IMPALA A SEX TARDIS?
15. “Don’t Night Moves me.” I love this part. And! Night Moves appears in two of my favorite shows: This, and The OC.
16. And any time we get to hear Dean sing is a great time. He CAN sing. He pretends he can’t for various reasons, but he so can.
17. The montage is great, too, of them in the car. Just livin.
18. Again, having such a long run means we get to see these life moments that are just wonderful. Between the blood and the tragedy. They eat burgers in teh car and sing songs. They drive. 
19. “We got tonight, who needs tomorrow?” I feel like Dean would make a great D and D bard, you know?
20. And this conversation they have about that Apple Pie life is good, too. That Sam would still like it. That’s Dean’s...just not sure it’s for him. He tried it once, and it blew up in his face. Add to that that he has Cas now. So...
21. I need to talk to you about this Judy Collins song. It was, according to Dream!John, one of Mary’s favorite songs, and it just...feels right. One of the only things that bummed me out about The Winchesters was that we didn’t get a callback to this song in the show.
“I would follow him right down The toughest road I know  Someday soon Goin’ with him someday”
22. It’s such a great departure from the harder classic rock that winds up in the show as being very much John’s music. We get something softer that’s Mary’s. Something that maybe the boys took comfort in when their father would put it on, knowing it was something she loved.
23. ROBBIE JUDY COLLINS CALLBACK WHEN! ROBBIE! ROBBIE PLEASE!
24. But also Matt Cohen really is amazing as a younger John Winchester. He really channels Jeffrey Dean Morgan in a tender way here. I love it.
25. Sam’s face. He’s so freaked out. Like.
26. Hey season 11! Before Jared stopped trying and started phoning it in! We love to see it.
27. “When has death ever stopped a Winchester.” oh John. You have no idea.
28. “You played your part.” Poor Sam. John was so checked out. The level of neglect both Sam and Dean suffered is really extreme.
29.The lack of music here with just the sounds of the road and the car is really great here. So tense.
30. Another great conversation between these two. I think because Dean is such a goof sometimes, it’s easy to discount his big brotherness. Sam is constantly playing the straight man. Here, we get to see Dean do some big time big brothering.
31. I love the lighting, here too. It would be easy to have it be super dark, but it’s great that they use street lights to illuminate everything.
32. LOL Dean and Sam keeping secrets. after a while, that was kind of the whole show, wasn’t it? Just Dean and Sam not telling each other shit and hurting each other like dummies.
33. “I read.” HE DOES! Way back in season 4, Sam found a Vonnegut in his bag.
34. There’s a SPN official novel called Nevermore where Dean does not know who Edgar Allen Poe is, and upon reading that I was so much, I never tried to read it again. Fuck you, Dean knows his lit. He plays dumb, he’s not actually dumb.
35. Dean’s dream about John hits me hard now, after The Winchesters season 1 finale, because in that universe that Dean futzed with? That dream could now be a reality.
36. “Perfect landing, Son.”
37. Sam dreaming about Mary is a whole thing, too. Of that person he can’t remember. Ouch.
38. That overhead shot of them is so great. Love it.
39. Werepire! oh Dean.
40. Meatman cometh.
41. The minor freakout over valet parking lol.
42. But with good reason.
43. But also girl me too. Let’s be real, who wouldn’t? It’s a great car. And this is a great moment.
44. She was definitely doing donuts. I love it.
45. Dean would shit himself if he knew.
46. This entire scene is so good. But also, I love Dean and Cas here.
47. LOL step away from the Netflix.
48. Dean, stop trying to make fetch happen, bud.
49. Poor Cas, talking to himself, thinking he’s helping. But again, it keeps us in the car.
50. But this whole scene is so great.
51. Poor Dean missed him saying werepire.
52. I love this fight scene so much. It’s played for laughs and it works so well. It is so gory.
53. “It turns out I did shoot the deputy.” I need you to know that I SCREAMED when he said this, because it’s an add-on from a joke made in SEASON 3. 3! THEY WRAPPED THAT JOKE EIGHT YEARS LATER! Again, it’s the benefits of a show that goes this long.
54. Poor Cas. Just...having to sit on the phone while carnage happens on the other end.
55. The windshield wiper. Dean is so unfazed.
56. Poor cooler. It went from beer and smoothies to a monster head.
57. Again, Dean is so not bothered by any of this. It’s just another day, and it makes it so much funnier. Like he knows it’s gross, but like. It’s just another workday.
58. I’m not sure about these extreme closeups. It’s a lot.
59. “What bench?” oh Cas. <3
60. Sam getting distracted with the fiirty and Dean getting jumped. Again.
61. HEAD IN A BOX.
62. They just left that head in the backseat with a woman he thought was like a full blown human. Because they’re that desensitized. Head in a box. “Yeah? And?”
63. “You do anything for your family.” Oh boy.
64. Sam just not noticing a damn thing.
65. Dean face down in the back seat, sees the Hello Kitty bag: “How did...I don’t wanna know.”
66. The monsters are scared.
67. Dean’s in a tough spot here, and he’s just rolling his eyes at this monster monologueing. It’s part “Are you fucking kidding me with this shit? I can’t believe I let this happen, why am I so dumb?” and part “Bitch do you know what I am? Get wrecked.”
68. Poor Baby. God she is beat up.
69. this inside/outside the car fight is great too. I love that we don’t need to see like a big full fight scene. It’s so cramped and so cool.
70. Fucking decapitated with the car door that is fucking brutal.
71. “Oh baby I’m so sorry.” Yeah dude your car is fucked.
72. Both Dean and Baby. So fucked up.
73. Jensen learned that car move on his lunch break. Talented bastard.
74. Sam also looking messed up.
75. “Would you mind starting tomorrow?” Oh Sam.
76. And we end on Night Moves as the boys and Baby limp on home.
77. Truly, one of my all time favorite episodes of this show. Shot so cleverly, with great character moments and glimpse at what’s going on with the larger season-long plot. Love it.

Title: The Sky Blues
Author: Robbie Couch
Genre: YA Fiction | Mystery | Drama | Friendship | LGBTQ+
Content Warnings: Homophobia | Racism | Child Abuse/Neglect
Overall Rating: 10/10
Personal Opinion: This is the future liberals want. Sky Baker is the only openly gay kid at his school in a small Midwest town but when his promposal scheme gets outed, he finds that he has more allies than he initially believed. His best friends, his crush, and even a whole bunch strangers rally around him to show that they will not be bullied. Without meaning to, Sky starts a movement that gives people courage. Him and his wonderfully amazing chosen family.
Do I Own This Book? Yes! This was another Christmas gift that I bought for myself and it’s definitely one of my top 5 all-time favorite books.
Spoilers Below For My Likes & Dislikes:
- Firstly, this is just proof that I have an amazing gaydar when it comes to book characters. I knew, from the moment Teddy said to Sky, “I like your shoes, where’d you get them?” that he was gay for Sky. Like fullblown homosexual. The way Sky’s unreliable narrator ass kept on emphasizing that Teddy was “probably straight” really gave me a home run feeling though. It was so obvious that he was being set up as the new love interest to take over after Ali Rashid was out of the picture and it worked so well! I don’t know if anyone else would’ve caught the hints that early on but I loved it. It was brilliantly set up and Teddy’s reactions to and around Sky were just so adorable when you have that context. Once we got to the big promposal scene, it was over for me. I figured out that Teddy was going to prompose to Sky there but I hadn’t been expecting him to do it with the yellow roses and the movie ticket stubs and the tracksuit! Oh my god, all those questions Marshall asked about how to prompose to Ainsley were all recon for his sports buddy to ask out his best friend! See, I did find it strange that Ainsley and Sky had the same favorite color but I hadn’t put two and two together. And the fact that she seemed to have never been to the LMEP before even though Marshall was going to give her the movie ticket stubs as a promposal gift. He was wing-manning for Teddy and he did it so well! The scene where Marshall found out that Sky thought their track uniforms were sexy though was funny. And Teddy really did all that for Sky! Oh, I bet he felt like he had no chance when the e-blast with the promposal pics were sent out. But he still went and checked in on his crush despite that! And I’m guessing Marshall (who didn’t know the wall existed either) was extra pissed at Sky because he felt like he led his friend on a wild goose chase, going after a boy who was already crushing on someone else. Ugh, but then Teddy and Sky got close over the course of the book and it just went so well for them and it makes me so happy, thinking about them together because it’s what Sky deserves. I do wish we got to see more of the two of them dating but their love story isn’t the point of the novel, I get it. It’s about Sky finding his true family. His own chosen family!
- His chosen family! I am such a sucker for that trope but this book nailed it! Sky was kicked out of his home by his own mother during winter break so he had to go live with Bree’s parents. And her family easily accepted him into the house. They teased him over his Ali crush with no judgment and supported him through that traumatizing event of having his crush outed. They didn’t force him to go to school until he was ready. They made him feel included in the house. Ray and Petey are sweethearts that always delivered his food and Clare made sweet treats for him too! And even though Gus, Sky’s brother, is a dick who called him a “faggot” and didn’t even try to give his own brother a home after he’d been disowned, Bree and Marshall were there for him. Winter said it best, they would go to the ends of the earth for Sky. And they’re the kind of friends that are worth fighting for. It’s no wonder why she came to mind when that sales lady told him to “think of the best person” as he was struggling to choose a paint swatch to paint his room. And Charlie and Brian are like his gay uncles! Charlie being his dad’s best friend and living proof that Henry Baker would have been so proud of his son and the man he became. And Brian even gave Sky a job at his tattoo parlor! And covered up Mars with a tattoo that was in memory of his father! Like, I just love this chosen family so much because Sky could not have chosen better. Not just all these people either. Teddy, Ali, Ainsley, Dan, Christina, and Carolyn were all there walking beside Sky. The Yearbookers and total strangers stood by them. It was so beautiful to see and having confirmation that this is 2021 just made it all the better because yes, this is the present we want. The future I want. This “heterosexual hellscape” as Sky put it, wasn’t so bad. Especially not with Dan, a trans kid, starting a GLOW (Gays, Lesbians, or Whatever) club on campus. And with the new lesbian Mrs. Choi (Asian and married to a woman!) as the advisor too!
- The comedy in this book is so on point. My favorites come to mind when Bree called her dad and her sister and hung up on them just as they were going to mention the clam chowder that Clare made. And also with Marshall cracking the fuck up during the promposal scene as it dawned on Sky that Teddy’s been into him since forever. It is just brilliantly done and set up. And I loved each and every one of their dynamics because the comedy truly enhanced it.
- The mystery of how Cliff was able to get those photos and hack into Memories was such an intriguing point because I really had no idea how he had pulled it off. But as they slowly pieced it together (one of the construction workers in the basement being his cousin, his buddy using two phones to get the photo and access to the Memories app), it became so clear and clever. And then the queen, Carolyn, really went and broke into Cliff’s phone for the evidence, lmfao, she got him good. 
- Winter? Icon. She’s worldly and cool and tough and she’s so proud of her students for coming up with the gay shirts idea and shoving it in the faces of those bigoted bullies. She also stood up to her own boss when Principal Burger tried to put a stop to the shirts. He had the fucking audacity to say that they were “distracting” like they were spaghetti straps. Dress code is stupid and I love that Winter said “Fuck you, I’m not enforcing that rule.” And when she and Sky and Ali went off with that “Have you gotten any progress on the investigation on the person who called them a faggot and a terrorist?” Like, come on dude, it’s 2021. Get with the goddamn program. As I was saying, Winter? A queen. I have so much respect for her especially as the person who gave Sky her yearbook and orchestrated him going to meet Charlie. She knew how to help without overstepping and I just have the utmost respect for her as a person and an ally. She knew he wouldn’t listen to her but he would listen to a gay man and the words of his dad calling that very gay man, “The toughest guy I know.” My god, that scene made my heart squeeze in the best way! And Charlie is really living his best life. He’s got a super hot inked husband and a cute friendly dog (named Robert!) and a big house! Respect to everyone. I do hope Winter and Charlie reconnect too.
- Also, I just remembered the other funny scene where Bree texted Sky to get Brian’s phone number for her. “Bree, he’s like 35.” “So?” Like that would be me. Same girl.
- Sky and Marshall relating in the ways they hide their “otherness” hit so hard. Same with Ali too actually. And also, I will usually hate when best friends fight in books. But this made so much sense. What Sky said to Bree was fucking low but it makes sense given what just happened. And he wanted to apologize immediately when he said it too. And him ignoring Marshall? Also makes sense. I am going to guess that when he responded to Teddy’s DM and not to him was also a big blow too. It’s tough. I get it. I absolutely get policing your gayness around “the hets.” It’s scary because you don’t know how much otherness is too much. Marshall hated being excluded from his best friend’s life but he got it being a black person. Sneaking snacks and blaring music from his car? All signs point to an altercation with the cops. I love all of their friendships and I love how they felt guilty about making Sky use money to apologize to the two of them. They are really great friends and Sky will fight to be with them. Because he knows they’re worth it. And he and Teddy and Ainsley are all going to community college so Marshall’s definitely stuck with them. Dan also still has a year there. I also just realized why he was so standoffish that day at the LMEP. But anyway, as Bree’s boyfriend, she’s also stuck there. I also adore that Ali is exploring his nerdier side. Teddy was right when he said that Sky’s gay movement was giving people courage. They were all changing for the better and expressing themselves in ways they hadn’t even thought possible before. Their bravery and their unabashed selves are so inspiring.
- Yearbook Prom! And the gay shirts too! Ugh, Winter is just so awesome. She really stuck it to the men trying to control her beloved students. And she clearly loves her job too. I just wish I had a teacher like her.
- Honestly, I’m still stuck on the gay shirts bit. Teddy choosing to be gay for Sky was so cute! I actually teared up because that was him being real and Sky had no idea.
Dislikes:
- Fuck Cliff Norquest but he’s a bit of a necessary evil. He was shut down so well and I’m glad he barely showed up throughout the book. Because he truly didn’t matter in this story. Like Winter said, Sky needed to focus on the people that mattered. Not asses like him. Speaking of which, fuck Victor Bungle. It made me so happy that Ali was a brown kid and he was popular just for being nice but of course a rat bastard would also be popular if he was a jock and conventionally good-looking. He really tried to be like “I’m not homophobic but…” and it backfired on him lmao. He just added fuel to the gay fire as even more people rallied behind Sky and put on the shirts. Did they get banned from prom? Yes. Did it matter when Winter hosted her own prom and Bree offered her house as a venue and so many other students offered their own services for cheap? Because that was so amazing. I’m willing to bet more people showed up to the Yearbook prom than regular prom which of course means that the school wasted money, resources, and more. Ugh, Cliff and Bungle and Burger are disgusting but all necessary evils for the student body to enact real change. Is it a bit unrealistic? Maybe. But it’s a present and future I would love to see someday.
- Fuck Sky’s biological family. But a theme in the book is chosen family so again, necessary evil. I hate them but at least they will never be in Sky’s life again. They don’t deserve him. Meanwhile, the Brandstones are prepared to take him in as their fifth child and raise him as their own.
- Honestly, my only real qualm is that the town is overwhelmingly white. But they acknowledged it as such by mentioning that there were only like four POC among the student body. Still, the fact is, the POC were good people. And I love that even though only four of them existed, half of them got main character roles.
- I do wonder what had attracted Teddy to Sky in the first place. It seems like they didn’t even know each other that well until Marshall joined the track team. I wonder if Teddy had planned on coming out by promposing to Sky (the only out gay boy at their school) but as time went on, he started to fall for Sky for real. Because I do feel like, over the course of the book, they got closer and those butterflies Sky felt around Teddy became mutual. I just hope it’s not a case of “Oh, this guy is the only other gay guy at school so I will just fall for him.” But to be honest, it doesn’t feel that way because Sky fell for Ali who is straight. So it stands to reason that Teddy didn’t fall for Sky just because he was the only option. His feelings are real. And when he held Sky’s hand and asked if he needed anything while Sky was getting his tattoo done by Brian, I fell for him myself a bit more. Also when Sky kept on noticing Teddy’s huge shot-put muscles, I thought that was not only comedic genius but adorably gay. And when Teddy called Mars “badass” too! Like he really gave his crush so much confidence and he really had no idea! I love their relationship so much and I can’t find much to dislike about in this book at all.

Describing it as being like home is actually pretty accurate yeah.
And YES! I am totally willing to talk about my modern AU.
I've been calling it the Adoption AU because Time ends up adopting all of the boys. It mostly started as, I saw an edit for a tweet someone did with Wars and Wild that involved Taco Bell (cannot remember the blog or post for the life of me though), and so I wrote a thing about Warriors sneaking out of his university dorm to pick up Wild, who snuck out the window despite his broken arm, and then got extorted by Legend in exchange for silence at 3am.
This was followed by a fic where Groose decided spray painting a public building was a good idea and got himself and Sky arrested, set earlier in the timeline.
So then I made a timeline. Twilight is Time and Malon's biological son, and he found Wild on the side of the road one day (Wild's backstory involves a bad car wreck and an underground hospital, but no conspiracy bullshit. Yet). Wild has no memory, so they keep him. Wild brings home Legend, who was told his uncle died at school before a holiday. They then also keep Legend. Malon finds Four in her barn one morning for complicated reasons, and they keep him too. Twilight finds Warriors, who is in his class, hiding in an alley one day after he ran away from an abusive home and brings him home too. SS Impa (who I've nicknamed Shield because there are enough prominent Impas here that they should get nicknames too) is a social worker who's trying to find Sky a home and has run out of options, and turns to Time, who has a record of successfully housing 'unhousable' youths, and asks if he can take one more. He can. Wild finds Hyrule and brings him home because 'Rule needs a shower even more than Wild does. Hyrule stays. Wind's grandma ends up with Wind and his sister but can't financially take care of both and so Wind ends up with the boys and everyone is +1 Grandma.
Twilight has a fic detailing how he knows Midna and Dusk and I ended up shooting him (oops) but at least their social project gets handed in on time.
Then I started hashing out Time's backstory and suddenly this AU had plot. And organized crime. And a conspiracy. And secret societies.
The summarized version is that the gems from OoT are like, Idk what they do yet. Haven't gotten to a point where I need to figure that out yet. But they are Important and have to be carefully guarded. The Great Deku Tree (just called Deku because he's not a tree here) was Time's foster father before Ganondorf killed him. Also, Ganondorf is Deku's half brother. Because. However Time 'stole' the Emerald and he and Navi ran until OoT Impa (Sage) and Lullaby found them. So Time got adopted into Lullaby's family. Ruto inherited the Sapphire from her mother who also died from mysterious circumstances, and Darunia has the Ruby. Lullaby got the Ocarina from her late paternal grandmother.
Then Ganon finds them and tries to steal the Emerald from Time, so Lullaby goes looking for help and thus finds the sages. Saria is an anonymous hacker who uses the screen name 'Kokiri'. Time reveals he didn't steal the Emerald, he was Deku's heir, and then Navi goes missing. Time is home worried enough that he's physically sick, and Ganon decides to try and attack the home. Only Lullaby's family is Olde Money, and they live in a big, old manor, so Lullaby as Sheik decides to play 'Home Alone' with the secret passages in the walls and they piss off Ganon because when did that brat get a sheikah bodyguard??? Sage and Rottla (Lullaby's mother, who is fully sheikah as well) rush home from a thing and Kokiri is running a play by play watching the security cameras.
I pull in my headcanon that Time was killed in the Downfall Timeline by getting impaled on Ganon's tusk and Ganondorf stabs him with the tusk of a mounted boar head and then Sheik shows up to protect his brother, and then Mama gets home and is not happy to find this man in her home attacking her kids. Time is fine, but Navi stays missing. (She's alive tho.)
Also, Time's foster dad was the last leader of a secret society known as The Order of The Lost Woods, and Time learns this upon meeting Tatl, who gets him sucked into another event that would probably make a good action movie. I have thought too much about the Order and it's hierarchy, but what's important here is that Time ends up with a standing job offer and Tatl and he remain friends and we find out how I fit FD into this AU. It's not pretty. This is where Time loses his eye too.
The AoC came out and I added that Link in as Wild's twin brother and he shows up during the main plot.
Which starts with Twi getting kidnapped. (I'm not really meaner to him than the others, I swear, he's just the most logical choice to be Time's heir. Which he is. He doesn't know this though.)
So he's kidnapped by Ganondorf, who broke out of jail, Zant, who shot Twi in highschool, and Ghirahim, who has some history with Sky I haven't fleshed out yet and a very public rivalry with Warriors over twitter. About six weeks later Sage finds him in an abandoned warehouse (because of course) with a shackle on his left arm and a lot of new injuries. He ends up fine, but he tells Time later in the hospital what happened and he's both message and messenger and Time is this close to just committing murder. Tatl talks him down.
Somewhere here is the half finished fic where I introduce AoC Link as Luke/Knight, and this is as far as I've plotted thus far.
Other tidbits: Wild and Lullaby/Sheik are both genderfluid, Lullaby/Sheik married Ruto, Wild has a very popular YouTube channel, Twi does drag racing sometimes, Sky has a pet bird, Four has DID to explain how the Colours are here too, and Wolfie exists in the form of a random wolf-dog Wild found and brought home that Legend somehow convinced half the family was Twilight. Also, Warriors has somehow befriended an entire sorority and he doesn't know how this happened.
This... got long. As you can see I have a lot of thoughts about the Adoption AU. It's gotten a bit away from me, I'll admit. This went from 'Wild does stunts on his motorbike and keeps breaking bones but somehow not the bike' to 'Twilight got kidnapped and Time is the target of a mafia that Ganon runs and also maybe killed a man once' and I don't know how that happened. Also, this is the condensed version of the summary. My actual summary/outline is much, much longer than this. So if there's any detail you want more on, feel free to say so and I'll happily go into more detail (there are so many things I didn't even mention....)
And yes, Robbie having a bong is very important to my best friend, for some reason. He has one in a modern AU and he probably invented one in canon. I happen to agree that this makes sense for his character, if anyone would invent a bong in LoZ it's Robbie (this is such an anticlimactic end to this ask after the stuff about the modern AU...)
Also, sorry for the long ass ask. I genuinely don't know how to condense the Adoption Au down any further. There's a lot of important plot beats to cover, and I still skipped things.
-Attllhak
oh my GOD???? if you ever write and post this somewhere id love to read it, the level of "crazy" conspiracy/action movie elements implemented sound sosososo cool, from Ganondorf being Deku's half brother to trying to "send a message" via Twi and- just- all of this is SO good.i sat here and reread this ask like 3 times as if that would magically spawn more info about it ahaha
there's so much to unpack here but it's honestly so worth it i love every single detail!!! i can imagine the actual outline being way longer, nad honestly that just makes me the more excited/curious about all that might be missing from this ask - i cant believe it started with Wild and Wars going to Taco Bell of all things
also i can totally see Robbie making a bong, no matter the setting or AU. fits him a lot I'd say
and dont worry about long asks!! i adore opening up my askbox to see one ask take over the entire thing, it makes me really happy aha

Nautiscarader’s Wendip Week day 3: Prank War
geez, this one took a while. I apologise, and let’s hope next one will arrive faster
 (ao3)
============
Someone standing outside of The Mystery Shack might have thought that the living room contained a very predictable lighting bug, or at least that someone inside was broadcasting a rather boring Morse code message using light signals.
In reality, it was just Wendy and Dipper, slouched on the sofa, surfing TV channels, giving each of them at most three seconds to entertain their bored minds. So far, none of them stood up to the challenge.
But as Wendy continued the only physical activity she had the energy for, i.e. pressing one button, something finally caught their attention.
- "What's up everyone? It's your boy, the Prankster Prancer!"
A loud, obnoxious, blonde man in his twenties, wearing spiky, gelled hair rode into the shot on a fake unicorn, face-hugged the camera, filling the wide-angle lens and made both Dipper and Wendy jump in their seats as loud horn noise shook the air around them.
- Wait, I thought this guy was only on the internet! - Wendy raised her brow - Did he escape to the real world?! - Come on, who in the right mind would give him a show? - "So, first of all, thanks to our station, The Cheese Network, for giving me the chance to entertain you guys..."
Dipper and Wendy groaned in collective understanding.
- "...and for giving us some cheese to pay for our last week's prank!"
The screen dimmed and the camera changed to an aerial shot, containing not only fires and flood, but also several military helicopters.
- "So last time we did some EPIC prank during the gender reveal party and we've made a hole in the ozone hole!"
The man made extra effort to extend every vowel in the last word, to an equally obnoxious collection of sound effects.
- Wow. That looks... bad. Even by our standards. - Wendy watched the footage. - Yeah. Good thing this dude stays away from us. - "And now it's time to reveal the next place for our EPIC PRANK!"
The man took a baseball bat and unceremoniously smashed the unicorn doll in half, and stuck his hand in the fake guts, revealing an envelope.
- "And this one is a suggestion from my top commentator on-line, that girl leaves comments under every single one of my videos, so I could not ignore her request".
The envelope was opened, and suddenly, a girl's voice began reading it.
- "Dear Prankster Prancer. I love your videos, and how creative your calamity can be..." - Wait a minute - Dipper sat up, as his eyes widened in horror - Is that- - "My name is Mabel Pines, and I am staying in a small town called Gravity Falls, in Oregon...".
Dipper and Wendy looked at each other and understood each other at once.
- Barricade the doors!
But it was too late. As Dipper ran towards the lobby, the door were smashed to the ground, seemingly under the power of the air horns, and flooded the Shack with lights. The same blonde man walked inside, as if he owned the place, leading with him Mabel Pines.
- What's up birches? Is that how you call people living in the middle of a forest? - he shoved his face to the camera again. - More like, in the middle of nowhere! - Mabel added, high-five'ing him - Thankfully, me and my Prankster Protégé are gonna rock this place! - he shouted.
Dipper Pines stood up and cleaned himself from the dust and debris, watching as the two rock their heads to some aggressive tune.
- Hold on a minute! Mabel, why did you invite him here? If anything, there's too much going around in here! - Ugh, this is my little brother, Dipper. - Mabel rolled her eyes - I'm-I'm not little! - Dipper stomped in place - We're twins!
Somewhere behind him, Wendy snickered.
- What, you just look adorable when you're angry.
Dipper turned back and stormed towards his sister.
- Mabel, do you have amnesia or something? Gravity Falls is full of amazing things! We've been on treasure hunts, found all sorts of monsters in every lake, glade and a cave... You wanted to date a zombie on out first day here! - Yeah, sure, kid, as if I could just walk into a forest and find a dead body... - the Prankster took a sip of soda, looking somewhat nervously. - Mabel, we've seen living dinosaurs here! - Yeah, like I can see one now!
The Prankster pointed to the kitchen and very confused Grunkle Stan in his pajamas.
- What in the DMV is going on here? - Check this out, a living fossil!
The Prankster jumped towards Grunkle Stan and unceremoniously took a selfie with him.
- Oh no, my eyes! The light is coming towards me instead of the other way around!
Stan cried when flash of light blinded him, and with a sleigh of hand, the blonde man undid his belt, causing Stan to nearly trip and fall, if it wasn't for Wendy.
- Hey, you! You're not a prankster, you're a jerk!
At the sound of those words, the man stopped laughing and turned his attention, as well as cameras, towards Wendy.
- What's that? We've got ourselves a HATER!
An air horn was about to blow her hat off, but Wendy swiftly grabbed it and twisted it.
- Yeah, that's what I've said, you're a jerk. I like pranking people, but not to hurt them. - And watchu gonna do, leave a mean comment? - No, we're gonna prank you. - Wendy reached and brought Dipper towards her. - Cos we've done some pranking together ourselves! - Like what? - Like... when we've made our friend think his inflatable tube could talk!
The Prankster shot them with a dead stare.
- You know what, I don't even have time to play the "wah-wah" soundbite. But if you want to lose, your call. Tomorrow, we're gonna get an EPIC PRANK-OFF!
And he shot a pose in front of the camera.
- Right, now tell me where's someplace to eat. And they better have unlimited refills. - Lazy Susan is neat. And there's water tower nearby...
And with that, he and Mabel walked off, leaving the small destruction behind them.
- Wendy! - Dipper turned at once towards her - Are you crazy? He has entire film crew! And money! And very little empathy! He's gonna plough through us! - Chill out, man, we're gonna trick him, one way or another.
And she gently smacked the edge of his hat.
- Er, I know you guys like to babble all the time, but I still can't get up. - Grunkle Stan grumbled from the floor.
=============
The next day, Wendy woke up at the break of dawn with unbridled optimism. Dipper less so, and he was a bit nervous when Wendy gathered him and her crew in the small lumberjack shack in the woods to explain the plan of action.
- So, any questions? - she asked
At the same time, every teenager in the small room raised hands.
- So, how does exactly the can of whipped cream is supposed to work with the rake? - Tambry asked - And what do we have to do with the rat-shaped balloons? - Thompson asked shyly. - And can't we just... punch him? - Robbie suggested, mimicking the action. - Ugh, you guys!
Wendy groaned and hid her face in her hands. hearing the murmurs of doubt across the room, Dipper quickly stood up and continued.
- Guys, this jerk is giving us, pranksters, a bad name! We gotta prank him in a way that shows we are better... Because we can do better!
He watched as faces of the older teenagers brighten with his speech. Several of them even smiled.
- Plus he could, like, sue us for millions of dollars, so we gotta stay clean.
With newly gained optimism, the gang rushed to Thompson's van and readied themselves for the prank.
- Thanks, man, for giving me a hand. - Wendy suddenly patted Dipper's back. - Oh, no-no problem. - Dipper spoke, wondering if she noticed his blush.
=========
- Alright, we're all in places.
Wendy spoke to her phone, and observed the places, leaning from behind the wall. Her eyes moved from Robbie, hidden in the abandoned ice-cream stall, to Thompson, on top of a tree, to Tambry, pretending to read a large newspaper, and finally, to Dipper, holding a bag of provisions.
- We-Wendy, I'm not sure if this is gonna work. - Now!
She commanded, as Prankster walked nonchalantly out of the store. He thre away the half-eaten sandwich he just bought and was about to walk into the string that would have activate the whipped cream... if he didn't make a sudden jump.
He then threw something into the stall.
- Oh, crap, it's a grenade!
Robbie stormed out, tripping on the same wire he helped setting up, which resulted in his black hair covered in white goo and sprinkles.
Tambry was supposed attack next, but Prankester was already next to her. He took a bucket of soapy water and dumped it over her, destroying her diguise that covered her pruple hair.
For Thompson, he didn't even have to do much - he threw a mouse toy into the air, and listened how the boy tumbles down, shrieking.
And finally, he took something big and colourful out of his backpack and tossed it onto the street, watching as Dipper and Wendy rush towards it.
- Limited edition Giraffeoala!
They realised the two were after it when it was too late. Their heads collided with each other, just as the elusive plushie was yanked from their hands, back into his bag.
- Seriously, guys? You wanted to outsmart me? There like five of you and you couldn't do it. - Ha! That was a good one! - Mabel emerged from behind his back and did another high-five. - But I couldn't do it without you. - he pointed at her. - Me? But I didn't do anything... - Of course you did.
The Prankster lowered his sunglasses.
- Last evening at that stupid bar. You told me you were friends with everyone here. You told me how one of them likes gloomy, dark places. Like another one is afraid of mice. Like another one never looks away from her phone...
Mabel's ecstatic, radiant smile faded with each word the Prankster spoke, and her eyes, widened from excitation began to fill with tears.
- And, well, you told me what these two dorks are obsessed about... amongst other things. - Mabel! - Wendy and Dipper cried at the same time. - But-But I didn't... - Aw, really? You feel sad for them? LAME. - he pushed her aside and waved for his crew that followed him anyway.
For quite a while, all the small town could hear was Mabel Pines sobbing, until someone closed his arms around her.
- There, there, sis. - Dipper spoke quietly. - I guess you see why were so angry now. - I-I didn't know he would...
Dipper hugged her, letting her cry as much as she wants into his vest.
- It's not your fault, Mabel. - Wendy added, taking a knee and gently patting her. - But-But it is! - Well... Kinda... - Robbie added, and received a cold, piercing stare from Wendy. - Jerks like that like to... use people. And they know that the best ones are those, who are most trusting and kind.
Mabel's sniffing stopped, as Wendy continued.
- But you know what? - Dipper spoke suddenly - I think I got an idea...
He let go of his sister rushed to the Prankster, sitting on one of the toy unicorns, tossing quarter after quarter, while two children in queue began to tear up.
- Hey, you! - Ugh, you again, twerp. What, want me to reveal more secrets about you and your stupid hobbies? Or, like, who is your biggest crush after a toy plushie from the 90s?
Dipper's face reddened, but he remained unperturbed.
- We're not done yet. Tomorrow we're gonna prank you for good. Double or nothing! - Ugh, sure, fine. - the Prankster didn't even look at him - It's not like I can do anything until my lawyers clean up the whole "gender reveal party" fiasco. Like, who cares if the whole state is now inhabitable for life?
==============
By the next morning, the battleground was set. Cameras and tons of equipment surrounded the small grassy meadow in front of the Mystery Shack, where Dipper and Wendy were sitting in their chairs with their arms crossed, both wearing much more confident smiles. And the fact that Mabel was with them added them extra layer of morale.
When the clock struck 12, a mighty roar shook the place, as monster truck drove from behind the tree line, smoking and setting nearby branches on fire. The Prankster Prancer jumped out of it, and, drowned in the flashes of cameras, walked into his place.
- So, are you twerps ready for the FINAL PRANK OF YOUR LIFE? - he roared into the microphone, rolling his tongue back and forth as if he was about to eat it. - Nah, we're not gonna prank you. - Wendy shrugged - But someone else will.
The newly reinstalled door to the Mystery Shack opened, and a new figure appeared. An elderly woman walked out, being led by Grunkle Stan that gallantly helped her, for once not sneaking his hand into her purse.
And when she looked up from behind her glasses, the confident smile on Prancer's face disappeared at once.
- Grandma?! What-What are you doing here?! - Oh, don't you know? - Grunkle Stan rushed with explanation - We, old folks, all know each other. And I simply couldn't let her miss her grandson's grand day! - I'm so glad I can see you, Archibald!
The elderly lady used her cane to hook him by his neck and brought him into his arms, despite his best efforts to avoid any interactions.
- G-Grandma, don't- don't call me that! - Why not? - she continued, seemingly ignoring her grandson efforts to escape her tight hug. - I am your grandma, and I will call you by your full name, Archibald Roderick Sebastian Eugene!
Somewhere behind them, Dipper, Wendy and Mabel were having the time of their life, trying to hide their laughter.
- So, wait, his initials literally make him an... - Grandma! Make them stop! They-they are laughing at me! - Nonsense! Those young folks told me all your fans would love to see me talk about you. So I've send them some photos via the eclectic mail!
The blonde man looked to the side at Wendy and Dipper's faces. Their wide smiles told him everything, and in the act of ultimate desperation, he gently shook his head, silently mouthing his plea. He then looked at Mabel's, but hers was filled with spite.
In response, Mabel simply pressed a button.
The enormous screen behind them lit up, showing an adorable newborn blonde boy in diaper, giggling at the baby rattle.
Several more followed, showing his equally naked body in progressively embarrassing positions.
The screen changed, and the same boy was now three-years old, wearing a strict haircut as well as a bowtie. And the worst part was, he looked happy.
The Prankster Prancer fell to his knees, as tears began rolling from his eyes, which his grandma quickly dried with her handkerchief.
- Oh, yes, I do tear up a little at this one too. Oh, but the next one makes me so proud!
Prancer's eyes widen, if possibly even more, and throwing away all the pretence, he rushed to Wendy and Dipper and began begging them for mercy. But it was for nothing. He knew they have seen the photo already.
And with another press of a button, a seven-year old Prancer was shown, wearing a blue cardigan, sitting in an armchair with a big book in his hands, smiling at the camera, proudly showing his braces.
The scanned photo displayed a title, written in crayon over it.
"I love school!"
Flocks of birds flew into the air from the nearby trees in response to the shriek that reverberated the air, full of remorse, despair, and unmistakably, defeat.
- Nooooo!
The Prancer hit the ground with his fists, for which he was quickly reprimanded by his grandma ("You're going to make them dirty!"), while Wendy and Dipper high-fived each other, before giving Mabel a warm hug.
=============
- So I guess that will teach him? - Dipper asked Wendy as the two lay on the sofa, flicking through the channels again. - Pfh. I wish it did. - Wendy reached for her phone and showed Dipper a familiar blonde man waving his arms uncontrollably. - "What's up Prankster Pros? It's ya boy, and I've got this sweet book deal full of my MOST EMBARASSING photos! Look at that baby bottom! Only for $99.99..." - Geez, I guess they never learn. - Nope. But at least he's not here...
For a while the room dimmed every few seconds, as Wendy searched for anything interesting, but something else was on Dipper's mind.
- So... about those Cuddle Buddies...
The remote fell out of Wendy's hand.
- Uh, yeah, so, I just...
She shied away and mumbled her answer, until she saw a polite smile on Dipper's face.
- So, like, remember ever since you wanted to win that Duck Panda for me? I... kinda got into them, you know. Not like, obsessively collecting them, but... you know. - Yeah, I do. For cuddling.
The two looked at each other and exchanged the same, warm smiles.
- So which generation you like the most? - Well, gen 2 obviously - she rolled her eyes - What? Five is the best. - The best as sucking, perhaps. - Come on, they had changed the lead designer and everything, but they're still Cuddle Buddies...
For quite a while, the channel stayed on, as neither of them bother to change it. And when the night fell on, Wendy and Dipper realised that they might have discovered something new to talk about.

No one else But us
( Okinawa Trip AU part 1 of Moodboards )
....
His plan was take Sam to Okinawa for her to meet Kumiko and Chozen.  Take a small vacation get away from the divorce . Even though Him and Amanda ended on great terms , and he didn't mind her now dating Carmen . And not to add to the mix that him and Johnny kinda have a thing going on .
Except Sam told the other kids ,  once he saw Robby eyes lit up and started rambling about the books he read . He couldn't help himself to invite Robby , and seeing the smile on the kid face made him happy ( you can also add to the fact Robby had given him a hug also . ) .
It wasn't a secret to the kids that both sensei's had their favourites . Even if Daniel tried his best not to show it . Johnny's was Miguel , Daniel was like a mother hen he couldn't help it . His list consisted : Sam , Robby , and Demetri . So in that same day, he  heard Demetri telling Sam he was having problem with his mother ,He thought One more couldn't hurt .
Once he got around to tell Johnny about the change of plans of the trip , it was all fine until he mentioned Kumiko and Chozen.  He wasn't  mad or upset of taking Robby , the blonde just didn't like the idea of Daniel being with his ex Girlfriend/ Rival .
" Johnny nothing is gonna happen , okay . You don't have to be worry . "
" Of course nothing is going to happen , that ass is Mine and if I have to go there myself to keep my eye on you , so be it . "
He didn't think it was hot the way Johnny voice sounded and he totally did not end up on his lap to make out .
.... ....
The next day Johnny had called him saying Miguel was coming along . He knew how much Johnny loved the kid like his own . All the kids were getting along fine , sometimes they would get into an argument . Sam , Robby,  and Miguel had solved their differences  and now we're inseparable with the addition of Demetri .
Aisha had convinced her parents to let her do Karate and that was the only reason Tory was part of their dojo . At first he wasn't sure about her but Johnny had persuade reminding him she deserved a second chance  .
" She's just a kid , she got no one . Everybody deserves a second chance if their willing to change . "
The two girls always stood together . Hawk was the same , he had hurt Demetri and Sam was constantly keeping her eye on him , Until she saw he really changed . He can see Sam , Robby and Chris always kept Demetri Safe like their own little brother .
.....
Amanda surprises him while he was packing telling him she was also coming along .
" What , Don't want me there ? C'mon Daniel , Would you really ditch your best friend ? . "
" Its not that , What about Anthony,  remember he clearly said he did not want to go . "
" He's staying with your mother , oh and Carmen is coming with me  , I think you should might as well invite the other kids "
He knew the last part was a joke but that's how he ended up having a trip to Okinawa with his Boyfriend , Ex wife and her current girlfriend and his class and Kids .
........... .......
Waking up early wasn't ideal to him but if he didn't want to miss his flight he had to wake up.  Including he had to go pick up his students   , might as well start getting ready .
Arriving at the airport , Johnny was surprise people were awake at this hour . Quickly trying to spot Daniel , it would've been easier if he wasn't that short . Telling the kids to keep an eye out . Once he caught the sight of Daniel and the kids like pups trailing behind him , he couldn't but feel warm at the sight .
" Sensei their over there , Oh My mom arrived to "  Miguel told him pointing at the opposite direction , making him  and the other kids run towards them .
Saying hi to everyone he couldn't help but hold Daniel in his arms . God he was so adorable but a hot babe .
" Someone missed me . "
" I always miss you , Bambi . "
receiving a kiss , he makes a mental note to say more cheesy thing like that . He could live off kissing Daniel if the kids had stopped complaining , guess he would settle for coffee .
As if reading his mind
" Do you want coffee , I already promised the kids on the way here to get them junk food on the way over . I swear they act like little kids . "
" That's on you , and don't act like it bothers you . you totally love it . Let's go get some coffee then .
Turning to his students , signalling to them he guess they got the message as they cheered on .  Smiling he waves his hand like a true gentleman he is . Daniel doesn't buys it
" You just want me go in front for you could stare at my ass . "
" I was trying to be polite , not everything is about your ass , LaRusso . "
 He starts walking as he gives him a ' I don't believe a word your saying ' . And for that he totally check out his ass , and starts running when he slaps it and Daniel shouts.
" Johnny ! "
..... .....
Daniel gives him his card as the cashier ringing up the items , as the kids start convincing him to go to different store . After paying , the cashier smiles at him .
" You have a beautiful family "
Wanting to correct her  that  only one of them  were his kids but he liked idea him and Daniel having a family .
" Thanks . "
...
He loved his students but he was glad the adults were separated from the students on the airplane . Not that he would admit it out loud but deep down the kids knew . Him and Daniel spent the time reading a book called The outsiders , he would've preferred anything else like making out but he couldn't say no to the those big Bambi eyes .
Amanda had to wake them both up once the airplane had landed . Being caught up on getting everyone's luggage and making sure no one was missing , he lost LaRusso . He was sure he was right beside him , Neither Amanda or Carmen had seen him . Voices and the noise from the airport was distracting .
" Quiet !  . Now that I got your attention I need to inform you all , we lost LaRusso . It's gonna be hard to find him with him being small and short but the man can stop talking to save his life . Stay by me or Carmen and Amanda , alright get your ass walking unless you want to get left behind  . "
" Yes Sensei ! "
Ignoring the stares they were all receiving and  started following Amanda directions .
....... .......
Daniel honestly thought they were all behind him . He hoped Amanda will know the way to the exit , He spotted Kumiko and Chozen as they waited for him . Huh Chozen was actually smiling , guess he didn't have to worry at all .
" Daniel-san " Kumiko Hugged him while Chozen bowed . He never thought he would say he missed Chozen , Guess he can count him as a friend .
" Chozen offered me a ride to pick you and Sam , We can't wait to meet her . "
" Yeah about that there was a change of plans , I forgot to inform you about this Kumiko I apologize.  It was a last minute thing an- "
" Your daughter is not coming " Chozen asked as he looked confused as Kumiko was .
Right as he was about to answer , He heard a excited  yelling that he knew to well after many classes at the dojo . Looking behind ,  his answer was confirmed . Catching Johnny eye , he guessed he was telling the group he had found him . As they started walking faster until they were all in front of him .
" Dad , where were you ? " " Did you get Lost Mr. LaRusso? " " Mr . L , we worried that they had kidnapped you ." " Daniel I don't know how you disappeared that quick . " " Dad , can we go get something to eat were starving ." " Please " " Please "
 Smiling , he loved how the kids still were full of energy .
" Quiet ! , Couldn't wait to get rid us , Daniel ? "
Turning to her  right , Kumiko says to Chozen .
" This is going to be fun . "
Sidenote: This Part 1 of the moodboards . Hope you guys like it and sorry for my shitty writing . Okinawa AU Trip .

* nico hiraga, cis man + he/him | you know owen murase, right? they’re twenty-five, and they’ve lived in irving for, like, their whole life? well, their spotify wrapped says they listened to swim and sleep (like a shark) by unknown mortal orchestra like, a million times this year, which makes sense, ‘cause they’ve got that whole laughing to the point that the joke’s never been told properly, talking pensively on the roof of your family home until your mother calls you back inside, novelty caps with witty remarks embroidered on them thing going on. i just checked and their birthday is april 13th, so they’re a taurus, which is unsurprising, all things considered.
hi it’s cee … again… bet ya getting sick of me now huh….
AESTHETICS.
too-sweet orange sherbet, the only light source in the middle of the night being a measly desk lamp, a beanie well-loved enough it threatens to fall apart, childhoods spent talking to your friends next door across the backyard fence, nineties nintendo games, skate decks fractured clean down the middle, eyes glued to a television, lips chapped with ocean water, vintage stripe shirts, perfectly clear midsummer skies
CHARACTER INSPO.
zach taylor ( super dark times ), alexis rose ( schitt’s creek ), robbie ( angus, thongs and perfect snogging ), casey ( atypical ), francis abernathy ( the secret history ), gordo ( lizzie mcguire ), troy barnes ( community )
BACKGROUND.
it’s an idyllic spring day when you’re born. there’s a gentle chill that soars off the quivering ocean, a warmth from the sun that brings a flush to the cheeks. the youngest of two boys, you are adored, loved. the apple of one’s eye.
your mother makes sure you never forget who you are. without fail she packs your lunch each day ( you love it despite the odd looks of your classmates ), japanese school saturday mornings, family visits to morioka in the summer where cicadas seem to buzz within your head. it’s not easy for her despite the understanding of your father, durham born and raised. you don’t realise it until much later. it only seems to sink in once she’s flown back to japan to care for ailing grandparents when you are twelve. you hate the way a peanut butter and jelly sandwich glues to the roof of your mouth. you miss how she would force a hat on your head seconds before you left for school every morning.
the loneliness is more pronounced when your brother leaves for college three years later. he’s not far, but there’s a hollowness in the room that makes living with your father hard sometimes. he takes you to little league. you take to little league a duck to water. there’s less shouting matches, less ‘ i hate yous ’ and acting out. learning to forgive the world is less a big stride and more short steps, sometimes one backward.
you graduate the golden boy. everything is at your fingertips, it seems. varsity baseball, prom king, an ivy league sports scholarship on the horizon. your mother comes back home for it. your brother does, too. your breath is quick and sharp when you hold back hot tears on stage. your breath stops when the boy you’ve admired for the last year and a half walks past to you to shake the principal’s hand. your girlfriend never knew. you’re grateful for the calm in you when you return to japan that year, a little sunburn across the bridge of your nose, sweat beading on your forehead and nights spent listlessly gazing upward to stars.
INJURY & NEEDLES MENT. CW college is a blow out. so’s your arm. halfway into your freshman year and a sports med degree, your elbow won’t get better, no matter how many needles are poked in it, no matter how many times you ice it religiously. surgery isn’t enough, either. the scholarship and your place as pitcher are no longer yours and for the next few months, you’re home again in irving with your tail between your legs. your father isn’t angry so much as he’s disappointed for you. your brother’s made it to law school now, and here you are watching daytime reruns of judge judy and admiring the grass stains on your white sneakers, eating froot loops with far too much milk. CW END
it’s hard to get past the searing embarrassment on your cheeks when you return to college the next year. you liked writing, although it comes as a surprise to your family. at the very least, your father wonders, weren’t you going to go into a science degree and not literature?
you pay no heed and write until your eyes turn square at four in the morning. you are the best student in the course, the professor says. that hard work will pay off, the professor says. and it does. after your degree, the culmination of your work falls into three-hundred-and-something pages of a novel that a small publisher in charlotte seems to adore. your father pulled some strings to get it there. within a year, it’s a new york times bestseller. it’s a shock, but not really. the way you grit your teeth, the way you steeled your resolve, made you something, just like you promised your mother when you were seven years old and eyes shining.
PERSONALITY & QUIRKS.
goofy ass
bilingual :P
the family home in delphinus heights is too big for one person after his father went back to durham, so he chose to find his own place instead. he has a cute little studio flat on dorado road on a block behind a retired couple that sometimes invites him over for early dinner.
has no pets but there’s a bird that squawks outside his back door each morning until it gets a bit of toast from him
never wakes up early enough to see the sunrise over the sea, though
currently works a few days a week at a surf shop near the pier to make ends meet. writes and coaches little league in his spare time
owen’s first publication was a sci-fi novel. after excelling in most subjects, he puts math and science to good use for his work
tends to hang around you more if you’re a good source of inspiration for his writing
surfer babey …. his hair is disgusting. coarse n horrible n sun bleached like a mangy dog. it’s almost long enough to tie up the whole thing. occasionally lets someone put them into pigtails at a party
voted most likely to bust his wrist fucking up a skate trick
ur typical boy next door. very approachable, not a mean bone in his body, although in recent years he’s shown more anxiety than he’s ever been used to. sucks having to cook for urself everyday n pay bills like an adult :/
pansexual. leans a lot more towards masc presenting folks
has a collection of old, sun-faded shinkansen ticket stubs. sentimental like that
also very protective of his music vhs tape collection
not too fond of social media. his last post on insta was from like 2018. has no profile picture on fb. instead, he updates his ig story ten times a day and quadruple texts you on imessage like a heathen
chronic people pleaser. rarely says no and is shithouse at setting boundaries with others
loves all kinds of creepy shit, aliens especially
bit of a pisstake really 
WANTED PLOTS.
all da friends. family n childhood friends, someone he would goof around with during shifts in his high school job at the local mini mart, skate / surf buddies, anything and everything
a fan of his book
someone who witnessed owen stack it on his skateboard once n had to help get him to the hospital for a near miss broken bone SKGNSLDGDKSL
a writing muse he’s too scared to tell them IS his muse
a failed relationship from his few months in irving between college degrees. it was definitely him, not you
will accept any n all plots :-)

Sixty Eight. Part 3
Tumblr media
Honestly it’s annoyed me that my brother did and said what he said about me to my mother like, he knows what she is like and how she reacts about being a good wife “don’t take it out on your brother” it’s always the boys “I’m not but you’re making out I am bullying my husband when I’m not, he would say I am if I was” Chris snorted laughing “and Robbie I said jokes can hurt sometimes, he is your husband so he is priority. You’re being very hormonal baby” I huffed out “I give up” they really think I bully Chris “I must admit she can be very violent, it’s that Bajan blood” looking at Chris frowning “you need to stop right there, I mean it. Don’t let this ugly ass man make you think you can join him because you will be sleeping in the spare room” Chris gasped “Robbie, it’s his birthday. Be kind” I think my mother is annoying me the most “just nobody speak to me please, I’m done” I can’t deal to hear anymore bullshit from any of these people, like why are they making out I am mean to my husband unless this is a ploy to annoy me, maybe I am being hormonal but I am not mean to him I just playfully annoy him and I like to do it because it’s so easy to do but my family like to make out I am bullying him “don’t speak” I pointed at Rorrey, I knew he was going to try and say something “I can’t even laugh, you’re miserable” getting up from the seat “I am cleaning” I rather clean then sit with these idiots that think I am being mean when I’m not “I will help you” Mel also got up, picking my plate up and walked around the table “relax baby” Mel said to me as I placed the plate in the sink “I am but Rorrey is actually riling mom up to say that in front of Chris making it seem like I am, I am not incapable of supporting my man and knowing when to not tease him” I said in a whisper “I don’t think they meant it, just relax” I am being very hormonal but I find it annoying, it’s my marriage.
I just finished cleaning with Mel, my mother made a lot of mess in the kitchen “ayo, how you get my high school picture in that jersey. I have gone taller too, that is dope” smiling at him “can I speak to Robyn for a moment please Mel” drying my hands off “sure birthday boy, also I need to find why Noella ain’t give you the present” Mel hit his arm “one of twenty six punches” Chris laughed rubbing his arm “mean as hell” watching him walk over to me “you like it? I think you look extra cute in the high school picture, imagine a daughter with long hair looking like you, actually no. That’s not cute” Chris laughed out “I would feel sorry for her if she did when she got a beautiful mom like you, you good?” Chris sat atop of the kitchen counter “what makes you think I’m not? I don’t want her to feel like she has to be like me, I really hope we never get that issue because it would hurt me. I don’t want that for my daughter” walking over to Chris “just seemed very annoyed at your family, you know they are joking with you. You not been doing anything to upset me at all” standing between Chris’ legs “just my family is annoying me and on top of that I am very hormonal and feeling sensitive about things, are you happy?” Chris gasped “happy!? I got a Rolex, and I am sitting in a Versace robe, I am over the moon. Thank you so much and your kind words to me, I don’t deserve it and I feel like you’re feeling a little emotional about things, I feel it, with the messages and everything. I know you, just don’t worry about it. You done a lot for me and I appreciate you” he wrapped his arms around me “thank you Poppa” I adore him a lot “hey Chris, JC is here” Chris looked behind him and at my brother “really? Why?” He questioned “I booked him for you, go and get a cut” moving back “oh wow, ok. Thank you” he is so oblivious about everything and it’s cute.
Yusuf is here and Mylah is also to dress me the hell up, I need to look good for my man’ birthday now “you are pregnant, like wow! It’s been a while, oh my god” Yusuf hugged me “like you really pregnant baby, you are glowing” I laughed out, he is having a meltdown seeing me this pregnant “be quiet and coming up the stairs, is Mel here with my dress and his suit?” He is nowhere to be found “knowing him he’s probably dressing up himself oh my god, my queen you look so good” holding Yusuf’ hand as we went up the steps “ayo Robyn” looking down at Chris “yeah?” He looks so handsome with his new cut “just want to say thank you, you keep surprising me even more. So thank you” I cooed out “it’s ok baby, I am going upstairs now” how adorable is he “your man is a cutie, happy birthday Chris. Can’t wait to dance with you tonight” elbowing Yusuf “hey!” He spat “thanks man” he’s so slow “you are so lucky he didn’t” mean mugging Yusuf “wait, he doesn’t know l... ?” Shaking my head “no he doesn’t know yet” I whispered “you are lucky he is not paying attention to it; he thinks we are going to a meal together and he’s paying” I laughed “he’s very cute you know; I mean bless his heart he came to say that to you. Awww baby” Yusuf cooed out.
It’s been a while since I have been dressed up like this and I am excited to say the least, someone to just do the dressing up for me instead of me doing my own makeup “doesn’t he think why everyone is here and why we came? Like deadass?” Yusuf is confused “well with what went on I stopped speaking about his birthday, I just altogether stopped caring and I just didn’t want to know because I was hurt. So to him he thinks he’s getting nothing but a meal, but I kept everything the same. I wanted to spoil him and he never did cheat on me, imagine if I just thought fuck it let me treat you like shit for something you never did, that would generally hurt him because he did nothing wrong. Privately I of course did what I needed but I kept it as that” Yusuf nodded his head “he seems like not the type so when I was reading I was like, nobody cheats on my sis” the bedroom door opened “oh, I came to get changed” Chris has clearly had enough of his robe “wait a little more, your outfit will be here” Chris nodded his head looking at me weirdly “you really getting ready for this meal huh” I smirked “I want to look nice for once, why not. Are you having fun?” I don’t want him to be sad now “yeah of course, I’m gonna be in the games room” he walked out, I’m glad I have a husband that can be a little slow “he’s cute, I’m gonna keep saying this” I giggled to myself.
Mel tied up my heels, he didn’t want me to bend over and do it which is sweet of him. I may regret putting these heels on but whatever, it goes with the outfit, but my feet will suffer and I am taking my slides with me just for later “you look so good Robyn” Mel got up from the floor, moving back from me “so beautiful, I saw this silk black dress and I was like Robyn will look perfect in it, your boobs have grown but it’s fine, beautiful. For your man’ birthday, I was speaking to Chris actually, he was so confused and said why am I wearing a suit, I said because I felt cute” I chuckled “he is not clicking on at all, he assumes we are having a meal, a real nice one too” Mel laughed shaking his head “he is so funny but come, let’s go down. A lot of the family have already left, let’s help you down” I feel so cute “does my butt look big” walking out of the bedroom “of course it does, but who cares. You flaunt that” he pointed at me as he walked towards the stairs “let’s be careful down these, I got you” smiling lightly at him, I hope Chris likes my dress. Holding onto the side, Mel took my bag from me and then I held onto his arm, slowly making my way down the steps “wow, it feels like I am meeting my wife all over again. Wow! Look at her” Chris cooed over him, his eyes lit up and smiled so wide “you look amazing twin, oh wow” I am getting shy now.
Me and my husband look so good, we look so fly and I am proud of how good we look, Chris thinking we are still going to a meal is making me laugh “how amazing is my Rolex though? Not as amazing as you my love” I cooed out “thank you Chris, you’re always there making me feel so special and so confident, thank you” Chris smiled at me “like you are getting me these things are just amazing, I didn’t expect it because like I wasn’t good to you, I didn’t call you and stuff, so I deserved it. Thank you, like with everything” he’s so thankful “don’t be, today is your day so stop saying thank you. I just want to see you smile and have fun, that’s what we are doing, that’s what you deserve and that’s what I want for you ok?” I love him so much “I’m hungry as hell actually, I can’t wait to eat” come to think of it that means he will be drinking on an empty stomach which doesn’t bother me actually because, it’s his day and if he wants to spend the next day drunk he can, I will let him have that fun today.
The driver stopped outside Poppy Nightclub “Giorgio Baldi?” Chris questioned “you know me so well but I wanted to spice it up, just thought I would you know have it here, a meal that is” Chris looks so confused, he is very confused “they do food in a club?” Rich opened the door for me, I also got Dennis to take pictures today. The full works I got it for him, I told them that I am coming so keep it quiet “it’s quiet isn’t it” I know Chris is not that stupid, maybe he is because he knows I wouldn’t lie to him which I am today “because I wanted it like this” Dennis is here bless him “Rich you looking handsome for my birthday, I appreciate it” Rich just side eyed him, Dennis continued to take pictures of Chris and I “shall we go inside then” I gestured “yeah, man I am hungry” nodding my head “ok go in then, be the man” Chris started to walk and then he stopped “are you lying to me?” he turned to look at me “about what part? Why would I lie? For what? Just go” maybe he is clicking on now, Dennis rushed by us to go inside, Rich held the door as we walked into the place which is pretty quiet the way I wanted it. Chris seems so reluctant to go further inside he seems to be walking so slow, he finally went by the board “allow me to introduce, his name Christopher Maurice Brown used to move snowflakes back in VA. Happy Birthday Chris, it’s big pimpin baby” Jay Z said on the mic as Big Pimpin started playing, I wish I walked ahead of him now. Chris froze in shock seeing the place just filled, I mean I was going to use my contacts, Jay didn’t say no “no way!” Chris spat, he turned to me in utter shock “Happy Birthday, I lied” I laughed saying “you got my dad in a club, oh my god!” I got him good, I am so proud of me.
Mel shimmied herself over to me “we be big pimping, spending cheese!” she sang to me “aye, aye. This is so fucking lit, like I am speechless. See me? His face was shocked, like he just peed himself. You should be proud of yourself” I grinned “I am, now I can relax. My feet are killing me already” looking over at Chris, he is busy just saying his hi to everyone. I invited everyone I could get for him everyone that knows him and then I did as Jay, he said yes so here we are. I will be taking these heels off actually “he looks handsome” my mom pointed at Chris, I grinned “he does” sitting down on the chair “already?” Mel said looking “yes, I have too. Even though these heels make me look even better but I can’t right now, the extra weight is a no” Mel crouched down “let me do it for you” looking up at my mom “I am going to say hi to him” nodding my head, this is going to be long night for me because I love my sleep more then ever, I have to make it through the night but Rorrey can deal with him drunk because I can’t do it.

random post 😅 just a heads up, this is super long!! so please feel free to scroll past this! i’m honestly not expecting anyone to read this. i just wanted to write all of this down so i wouldn’t forget it 😅
(and for anyone who does happen to read this super long post, thank you so much, and i’m sorry for any spelling and grammar errors! 😅💖)
woke up from a nap a few hours ago and had some really vivid dreams. in one of them i was at one of my aunt’s house at a party she was having and i kept looking for someone. i couldn’t figure out who it was at first but i could feel it was someone i felt comfortable and really safe with 💙
originally, i thought i was looking for my mom. she’s a comfort person for me. especially at family parties. (although like most parties my aunt has, it wasn’t just family at the party.) so i kept looking for this person, but something inside me kept telling me that i wasn’t looking for my mom. like i just had this really strong feeling that i wasn’t looking for her. so i keep asking friends and family members if they’ve seen anyone looking for me or if anyone as asked them where i am. they would say they did see someone but they weren’t sure who it was or they would say yeah someone did and before i could get a straight answer as to who it was, someone would call the person i was talking to or i would get pulled away by a friend or one of my cousins 😅
so finally after what felt like a few hours looking for this person, i felt myself getting so sad that i couldn’t find them. that feeling was so strong and the fact that all i was looking for was someone, the person i knew who would make me feel safe and i couldn’t find them, broke my heart. at one point i was sitting on my aunt’s patio and i started crying. so as i’m sitting there crying, one of my younger cousins came up to me and asked me what was wrong. when i explained to her everything that was going on she looked at me and smiled. i was so confused lol. she hugged me really tight and said “i’ll be right back, Mae-Mae” again, i was so confused 😅
so i see her walk away and i look down at the ground trying not to cry again but it didn’t work and started quietly crying to myself again. after a few minutes, i hear her walk back and see her feet right by me. but then immediately notice there’s another set of feet next to her. they’re definitely guys’ feet and i honestly recognized them rig he away 😅 i look up and see Eva (my younger cousin) holding hands with (i’m sure this will come as no surprise to anyone lol) Robert Sheehan 🥺🥰 they both smile at me. Eva looks at Robert and says “Mae-Mae, this is who’ve you’ve been looking for and who’s been looking for you. did you really not know it was him?” then she says very sarcastically, “c’mon, Mae-Mae...” (that’s very much the relationship Eva and i have. we’re very sarcastic with each other 😄)
Robbie looks down at Eva and chuckles. he lets go of Eva’s hand, looks down at me, gives me the cutest and most adorable smile and says “hey there gorgeous. we finally found each other”. then he puts both of his hands out to me and does that little gesture for me to take them 😄 so i hold his hands and he helps me stand up. he gave me the sweetest and most loving smile and put his left hand on my cheek. he rubbed his thumb along my cheekbone wiping away some of my tears and said “it’s okay, Mae.” 🥺 i smiled at him, put my right hand on his hand and moved his hand a little bit to kiss his palm. he looked back down at Eva and said “thank you so much for helping me find her, kiddo! we both really appreciate it!” i looked at Eva and said “yes, thank you so much, beeba!” (that’s one of her nicknames lol) then i asked her, “how did you know it was him?”
she looked at me like i just asked her the dumbest thing ever (again, that’s how we are with each other lol) and says “who else would it have been, Mae-Mae? you know how you’ve told me that i’m one of your best friends and your other half. and you’ve said that you feel whole when we’re together. even though we’re only cousins and there’s a big age gap. and how you’ve always said that you felt like we were meant to be in each other lives? when you told me what was going on and that you were looking for someone but didn’t know who, i knew who it was right away. and i know that the way you feel about you and me is also the feel that way about Robbie. and i can tell he feels that way about you, too. that’s how i knew it was him. well that and earlier he asked me if i saw you. but yeah” we all laughed. i grabbed her hand, pulled her close and gave her the biggest hug! i told her she’s too smart and i love her so much. we both thanked her again for helping us find each other and then she said she was gonna go get something to eat but she’ll be back later. 😅
so after Eva left, Robert put both of his hands on my jawline and neck, pull my face close to his and said “i missed you so much, Mae.” and before i could say the same to him, he kissed me. 🥺 it was so passionate but also gentle and it was just so perfect! after we kissed, he put his arms over my shoulders and around my neck (cause i’m 5’1” and he’s 6’0” lol) and he pulled me in and hugged/held me. he kissed the top of my head and asked me if i was alright. i pulled back a bit so i could look at him and said “i’ve never been better. i just missed you so much and got so worried i wouldn’t find you. it felt like there was this strong magnet pulling me towards someone but i couldn’t figure out who. i was so anxious and just wanted to find who it was because i knew once i found them that i’d be okay and would feel safe, secure and loved. and i can’t believe i couldn’t figure out that i was looking for you and that it took me so long to find you” 😅 he smiled and and let out a little breathy laugh. he then said “it’s okay my love. i couldn’t find you either and it took me longer than i thought it would or wanted it too, as well. but all that matters now is that we found each other and we’re together.” hearing him say that made my heart so happy! then he pulled me in close again to hug/hold me and said, “i adore you. you know that? that i love you so much and am so completely in love with you. and that i can’t believe i’m lucky enough to call you mine. you know that, right? i love you with all of my heart, my daisy” (daises are my favorite flower and the fact that i dreamt that that’s one of his pet names for me, broke my heart!) and he rested his chin the top of my head. i told him i know that and i absolutely feel the exact same way about him. that i truly couldn’t believe that i’m lucky enough to not only be apart of his life, but that i also get to have him in mine. and i can’t believe that he loves me. i told him he makes me feel so gorgeous and loved and i just adore him as well. and i told him that i love him so much and am so in love with him, too. he gave me a little squeeze and kisses my head. and then i woke up. it was so perfect and so sweet! it felt so real!! 🥺🖤 i wish it was real and not just a dream, you know? 😅😢💙
(oh also, don’t know if i’ve mentioned this before and i’m really sorry if i have, but my full name is Meagan. i’ve never cared for my name or felt like it suited or fit me. like it never felt right. and my younger cousin, the one i’m talking about in the dream 😅 is the one who came up with the nick name Mae-Mae, for me when she was learning to talk. all of my other younger cousins couldn’t say my name when they were learning to talk. they would call me mamma, daddy or josh. that’s my brother. so yeah, for Eva to come up with that nickname meant everything to me. and then i started thinking about possibly going by the name Mae, and it just felt right. and then last year i decided that i wanna start going by Mae cause it just feels like that’s supposed to be my name and i feel like it suits me. so yeah, that’s why i go by Mae 😅)

hello moi again :)) I saw a while ago that you were thinking of writing an 800 words fic so I was wondering if you had any monty headcanons (maybe adolescence?) I've searched high and low but there's a grand total of 0 content for it, not even a Tumblr tag, and I had a hard time even watching it when it came out 🥴 thank youuu for being the committed Brugh source :")
@vilebodiess Hello!! :) yessss I adore 800 Words, and Monty of course! There’s really no content out there, it’s such a shame. And hardly anybody’s watched it or even heard of it either 😭
Yeah, I can write up a few of my headcanons, sure thing! I don’t know if you’ve seen the entire show or not, but these reference things that happen in all three seasons, just a little warning. Gonna put these under a read more just because most of my followers don’t know the show but -- (edit: the read more isn’t working, rip)
adolescence, like you mentioned:
- When Monty was growing up, his mother absolutely adored him. He was a total mama’s boy, and he preferred to spend his time with her rather than his father or brothers. Her death hit him really hard.
- Because he was more the sensitive type, he probably got left out a lot in the “manly” activities his father did with his brothers. Monty looked up to Bill Jr. as a kid, and when it was just the two of them, he probably got mostly ignored. Robbie though, despite being younger than Monty, picked on him when they were kids and teenagers - and Bill Jr. joined in. They’ve never really gotten along.
- His favorite topics in school were english and art.
- He probably didn’t actually have all that many friends growing up. Not for lack of trying, though; he was always friendly and kind just as he is now, and the other kids were always friendly back. He just didn’t have many genuine, true friends. 
- Monty definitely had a rebellious phase at some point, a bit like Siouxsie, and probably even dressed a little bit like her (although not quite that extreme).
- He met his first wife when they were both pretty young, and they fell in love (and married) quickly. But once the initial passion wore off, they didn’t really have much in common to keep the marriage going, except for Siouxsie. She was probably an accident, and Monty didn’t expect to become a father so soon (early 20s?), but he loves her more than anything. His ex-wife, on the other hand, never really cared too much.
some other little random headcanons:
- He’s actually pretty good at cooking, once given the chance. 
- Part of him has kind of given up on finding love, although overall he’s still hopeful and almost desperate for it, to the point where it’s difficult for him to notice if he’s not being treated well in a relationship (i.e. his relationship with Ngahuia). 
- A lot of people find him somewhat annoying at first, but he doesn’t let that stop him - he tends to not stop trying until he’s won someone over. He’s practically the human embodiment of a golden retriever, he’s very generous with who he gives his friendship to. He likes most people.
- He just likes to be included in whatever people are doing or talking about. This includes being involved in gossip and trying to help out with things people might not actually need help with. He really likes to help people; that’s part of why he became a volunteer firefighter.
I can’t think of any more right now but I probably will after I post this lol
& yeah, I’m still thinking about writing a fic, but I’m not sure yet. It would either be a sort of character study on Monty (maybe set around his fight with Robbie and going back to how his brothers treated him growing up?) or a short little Monty x reader, because I’m trash for him. We’ll have to see.
And you’re welcome, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s a big fan of him lol

Day 4 ~ Christmas 2019 Ego Fanfics
Alright people, Day number 4! Now, I personally think we're lacking a cute little zombie right now....LET'S DO THIS!
TAGGING: @robbie-lee-zombie and @jack-leeboyman
I don’t know about you guys, but I for one like eating foods at times when society says you’re not meant to eat them. I think you all know what I’m about to talk about, but I’ll elaborate anyway. Advent calendars. Chocolate for breakfast that is not only socially acceptable, but it is in fact expected! I have to say that it is one of the most wonderful, delicious inventions to grace the mess that is humanity, and on this here day it is what we shall be focusing on. Needless to say….every single ego had their own personal advent calendar, but I think Robbie the Zombie’s was the absolute cutest.
The art depicted on the front of his had been designed by all the Septics and printed by the Googles, and it depicted stunning artwork of Robbie being cuddled by all the Septics, plus some purple pugs because why the heck not. Robbie was wiggling with excitement as he stroked his fingers over the three empty days, he was excited to have chocolate number four. However, as we all know, getting those little perforated cardboard flaps open can be darn fiddly, so someone always gave Robbie a little help with his; this morning it was Jackie-Boy Man.
‘Alright, I got one of the corners there, ya think you can do the rest?’
Robbie nodded with a determined grin as he narrowed his eyes at the little cardboard square.
‘Uh huh, I open it!’
Jackie laughed softly as he watched Robbie scrutinise everything, before delicately opening the little cardboard door. Robbie squeaked with delight when he achieved it, and looked at Jackie giddily.
‘I did it!’
Robbie purred when Jackie affectionately ruffled his hair, before the hero replied jovially.
‘Good job! Make sure you don’t miss any of that chocolate!’
Robbie nodded with a giggle, making Jackie smile fondly. The hero had never anticipated the prospect of having a child-like zombie for a little brother, but here and now he just couldn’t imagine his life without Robbie. He was so pure and special and perfect and Jackie loved him so damn much. Jackie sighed softly, wiggling in his lying-down position on the carpet so he could get comfy, when suddenly he felt something seemingly bump into his butt.
‘What the-? Oho, do you need some help too bud?’
Jackie shifted with a grin when he saw that it was none other than Gooper who had bonked his booty with a whiny gurgle, whilst dragging his own special advent calendar in tow. Everyone had made it especially for him, and instead of it being filled with chocolates it was filled with Gooper’s favourite thing in the entire world. Paperclips. Jackie eased up the corner of the little cardboard door with his fingernail, before grinning and nodding at Gooper.
‘Have at it!’
Gooper squealed and eagerly started poking and prodding and pulling at the little cardboard door, before it popped open to reveal a light green coloured paperclip. Gooper hopped up and down giddily before he absorbed the little piece of stationary into his body, for safe-keeping until he could add it to his stash later. Jackie giggled when the creature proceeded to nuzzle against his kneecap, and he scratched his underbelly gently.
‘You’re too frickin cute ya lil globbins!’
Gooper squealed and gurgled in delight from the underbelly attention, before he gurgled cutely in farewell and went about returning his advent calendar to its proper place. Jackie sighed happily as he absently looked back to Robbie….but then his eyes widened; the zombie was trying to open up next day’s door!
‘Ah, ah, ah buddy you know it’s only one choc per day!’
Jackie reached to get the advent calendar from Robbie, so he wouldn’t be tempted, but to the hero’s surprise Robbie gripped it to his chest and stuck his bottom lip out. Frankly, Robbie had come to the conclusion that these chocolates were very tasty and there was no reason why he shouldn’t have them all now.
‘Nuh! Robbie want chocs!’
Jackie raised an eyebrow at him, lowering his voice into his more reprimanding tone.
‘Robbie, give me the advent calendar.’
Robbie shook his head, and a little growl came from the back of his throat.
‘Nuh!’
Jackie let out a surprised laugh….wow, Robbie must really have wanted these chocolates, and Jackie couldn’t really blame him. There’s always something about advent calendar chocolates that makes them so much more irresistible. However, Jackie knew he had to exercise discipline with his little brother. He stood, and easily snatched the advent calendar from Robbie’s weak hold, making the zombie whine and growl as Jackie pointed a finger down at him.
‘Sorry Robbie, I don’t make the advent calendar rules.’
Jackie went to go and put the calendar back on the mantle….not realising for one second….that he had awakened a beast. Robbie wanted those chocolates, and he wanted them badly, they just made him so fricking hungry! However, if Jackie was going to keep them from him, then Robbie figured that he’d have to find a substitute snack to satiate his hunger. He narrowed his eyes at Jackie as he crawled towards him deftly and silently. Then, he grasped Jackie’s shins.
‘I’m huuungryyy!’
Jackie jumped at the sudden grip on his shins, and his eyes widened when he saw Robbie snarling up at him; then, before the hero could even react, Robbie had grasped him and pulled him down to the floor.
‘W-Woah hey-HEY! L-Look we can f-find you another snack okay bud, w-we have other chocolates!’
Jackie gulped and shivered as Robbie crawled on top of him; as sweet as his little brother was, Jackie had to admit to himself that sometimes Robbie’s growls and snarls sent little chills down his spine. Especially now, when he was pinned down. Jackie hoped that Robbie would remember that the house was full of delicious snacks and thus let him go….but that was not to be the case.
‘Nuh uh….I want a waaarm snack. Waaarm and wriiiiiggly…'
Jackie gulped as Robbie pinned his arms above his head, leaning over him with a wide, toothy grin. The zombie was going to make his big brother sorry for taking away his chocolates, he was going to play a game with him….he was going to pretend he was his snack.
‘Wr-Wriggly? What k-kind of s-snack is wriggly?’
Jackie squeaked out, sounding a lot more nervous than he’d intended, which made Robbie giggle….and coo in happy delight.
‘Yoooou!’
Jackie’s eyes went wide, and he let out quite the high-pitched squeal as Robbie dove down to attack the crook of his neck with sloppy nuzzles and nibbles. Of course, Jackie’s whole body wriggled in response to the tickling; it was the hero’s number one weakness.
‘N-Nohoho n-noho I-I-I’m nahahat aha snahahack!’
Jackie cried out amidst his giggles, flustered as all hell as he prayed to whatever power existed that no-one would walk in on this, he’d never live it down! Oh god he could imagine Anti now, cooing about how he’d been bested by their littlest brother by just a few tickles, it didn’t bear thinking about! Robbie meanwhile, was already excited to gush about this to everyone else later.
‘Are toooo! So taaasty and soooft! Taaasty taasty taaaaasty!'
Jackie shook his head desperately, his cheeks turning a bright, flustered pink as he replied with flustered splutters.
‘N-N-Nohohoho b-behe quihihiet oho god be quihihihieeet!’
Robbie giggled into Jackie’s neck, making obnoxious slurpy noises at his skin teasingly as he cooed in response.
‘Robbie will be quiet if Jaaackie can be quiet!’
Jackie flushed almost as red as his crimson pyjamas as he writhed and snorted at Robbie’s eating noises, his giggling was non-stop now as Robbie absolutely gorged on every sensitive inch of Jackie’s neck.
‘Buhuhuhut Ihihi cahahahan’t! R-Rohohobbihie plehehehease!’
Robbie giggled and reared up and away from Jackie’s neck, letting out a giggly squeak when he saw how blushy and smiley his big hero brother was, he was so cute! Robbie figured that Jackie probably had other nummy tickle spots, so he cast his gaze over Jackie’s torso, humming to himself.
‘Hmmm….wheeeere should Robbie snack neeext?’
Jackie gulped at the sight of Robbie’s predatory gaze, and tried to struggle as he shook his head VERY adorably.
‘N-Nohowhere nowhere!’
Robbie giggled down at Jackie fondly, before setting his sights on where Jackie’s pyjama top had started to ride up. The grinning zombie slowly used his nose to push up the rest of the top, thus leaving Jackie’s lean belly exposed and on display. Robbie let out a soft, teasy purr as he brushed his lips over Jackie’s tummy, all while the hero tried and failed to suck it in.
‘But Rooobbie still huuuungry…sooo veeery huuungry….’
Jackie had goose-bumps all over and was trembling like a leaf….no-one, not even Anti, had made him feel so flustered with tickles until now, it was like it was Robbie’s superpower or something! Jackie had a shaky smile on his face as he looked at Robbie imploringly, his soft blue eyes were wide with nervousness.
‘P-Plehease R-Rohobbie, p-plehease nohot there!’
Robbie giggled at Jackie’s whimpers, before he grinned a frankly feral grin.
‘But Jackie tumtum looks so taaasty!’
Jackie’s eyes widened, and he let out a yelp and a snort, which soon became a plethora of snorts and cackly laughter as Robbie eagerly dined upon Jackie’s belly. Jackie was kicking his legs haphazardly, his feet hitting the carpet frantically as one of Jackie’s prime tickle spots was just absolutely tortured.
‘NOHOHAHA NAHAT THEHEHERE RAHABBIE!!’
Robbie happily ignored his brother’s pleas, nipping the sides of his tummy eagerly as he crooned lovingly.
‘So sooft and nuuuummy, and so preeetty tooo…’
Jackie desperately hid in his forearm out of embarrassment, that kind of comment on his tummy flustered him so damn much; the hero wasn’t used to compliments like that, so the sweet guy just didn’t know how on earth to react aside from rejecting them.
‘AHAHA IHIT IHIS NAHAHAT!’
Jackie cried out, squeezing his eyes shut as he tried to block it all out. Robbie meanwhile, was absolutely flabbergasted! How could Jackie not know how pretty his belly was? Robbie thought it was one of the prettiest bellies he had ever seen! It was so smooth and warm and ticklish AND it had lots of cute little freckles dotted everywhere, like pretty stars in the night’s sky! Robbie couldn’t have Jackie denying his prettiness.
‘Is too! Say it!’
Robbie growled into Jackie’s belly, nibbling harder and sloppier which made Jackie arch his back desperately. The poor guy couldn’t harness his brain cells long enough to answer properly.
‘AHAHAHA NAHAHA YOHOU MEHEHEANIE STAHAHAP!!’
Robbie growled even more, which made the poor hero wail amidst his mirth; Robbie wasn’t going to let up on Jackie’s belly until Jackie admitted how pretty it was!
‘Say you have pretty belly! Saaaay iiit!’
Jackie was a mess of laughter, and he could feel himself sweating from all the energy he’d spent struggling; fun fact, Robbie’s strength outmatched all the Septic’s, even Jackie’s superhuman strength. Jackie knew he couldn’t escape, so agreeing was his only way to mercy.
‘OHOHOKAHAY OHOKAHAHAY IHIT IHIS!!’
Robbie hummed….then nibbled under Jackie’s navel. He knew his hero brother could do better than that.
‘Proooperly!’
Jackie shrieked, and complied pretty damn fast.
‘AHHHIHAVEAPRETTYBELLY AHAHAAAHHH!!’
Robbie giggle, nuzzling Jackie’s belly one last time before leaning up with a fond giggle to his, now panting, brother.
‘Good Jackie-Booooy…’
Robbie cooed, whilst Jackie whined. His neck and tummy felt so tingly, and his face was so hot you could probably fry two darned eggs on it! He tentatively looked up at Robbie, speaking oh so preciously and meekly.
‘P-Plehease lehet me goho, I-I-I’m sohorry Rohobbie!’
Robbie cocked his head at Jackie fondly, Robbie just couldn’t get over how absolutely precious and adorable he was! Robbie decided then and there that he was definitely going to tickle Jackie more often, he was so ticklish and soft and precious; plus, Robbie loved being the evil tickler, he loved the feeling of making Jackie laugh and beg (this was totally not Anti’s influence). Robbie grinned, bringing Jackie’s arms down to pin them under his knees as he wiggled his fingers in the air over Jackie’s body.
‘But Jaaackie! Yooou’re so fuun to tickle! So so so so so fun!’
Robbie had seen his brothers do this sometimes, they’d hover their wiggly fingers in the air to make the tickles more teasy and the trapped person more giggly! Robbie giggled as he watched Jackie smile and squeak nervously beneath him, constantly watching his moving fingers as he stammered.
‘Thihis i-ihisn’t fahaaaair! I-I sahaid I wahas sorry!’
Jackie squirmed about, giggling despite his efforts to compose himself; the hero was definitely going to somehow have words with Anti regarding the influences Robbie was picking up.
‘Mmmm….yooou stiiill took my choooocs!’
Jackie gasped and squealed, but rather than descending into some climactic form of hysteria, he was encompassed by fit of squeaky giggles as Robbie used his blunt nails to lightly scratch at his hipbones. Robbie loved to see Jackie giggling, Jackie’s giggles were Robbie’s favourite giggles.
‘Ihihihi’ll gehehet yohohou mohore! Ihihihi’ll doho ahahanything!’
Literally, at this point Jackie was ready to do just about anything to get mercy, all this tickling was really tuckering the poor guy out, and they hadn’t even reached lunchtime yet! Robbie hummed curiously at Jackie’s words, wondering if he really would do anything to stop the tickles.
‘Reeeally?’
Jackie nodded frantically, gazing up at Robbie red-cheeked with the giddiest, most flustered grin known to man in place. His hips were tingling from Robbie’s scratches and his energy was waning.
‘Yehehes yehehehes!’
Jackie’s eyes were starting to water as Robbie thought for a few moments….before having mercy and humming. Jackie caught his breath and looked up at Robbie, nervously wondering if the cheeky guy was going to get him to do something silly or embarrassing…but what Robbie asked was not what the hero had been expecting.
‘….build fort with Robbie?’
Robbie was slumped on Jackie as he looked down at him nervously. Robbie had always wanted to build the biggest, best blanket fort ever with Jackie…but Jackie was nearly always out on mission, or training in the gym, or training with Silver, Dark or Anti. Robbie knew Jackie was an important busy hero, but he was Robbie’s special inspiring hero too, and Robbie always wanted to spend more time with him.
‘You….you just wanna build a fort?’
Jackie asked curiously, to which Robbie nodded softly, and Jackie softly smiled. Jackie knew he wasn’t there for Robbie as much as he should be, he was a busy guy…but one thing Jackie was going to take from this year was that time with his brothers, time with Robbie, was more important than anything else. Jackie smiled and sat up, spurring Robbie to shift, and when he did so, Jackie cupped Robbie’s face in his hands lovingly.
‘Oh Robbie, we’re not just gonna build a fort….we’re gonna build a super hero headquarters! A special base just for me and you, with password protection, fairy lights, cushions, blankets….and tons of snacks. Does that sound good?’
Robbie’s eyes had been getting wider and wider the more Jackie talked about what he wanted to build with him, and when he’d finished all Robbie could do was squeal and eagerly hug Jackie, before they set about building the most amazing heroic base that anyone has ever seen. And you can bet that they ate all the damn chocolate that they could lay their hands on too.
WOOOOOO HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THIS NEXT SEGMENT LEMME KNOW IF YA DO WOOOO LUV YOUS XX

GO Rom Com Spotlight: @musegnome​
The most excellent @musegnome​ has claimed The Wedding Singer to adapt for Good Omens in the Good Omens Rom Com Event.
For reference, here’s a little background about the source material!
About The Wedding Singer: Set in 1985, Adam Sandler plays a nice guy with a broken heart who's stuck in one of the most romantic jobs in the world, a wedding singer. He loses all hope when he is abandoned at the altar by his fiancé. He meets a young woman named Julia (Drew Barrymore), who enlists his help to plan her wedding. He falls in love with her and must win her over before she gets married.
We spent some time chatting about how the adaptation is coming so far, as well as future plans for it! Now, get to know @musegnome​ a little better!
* * *
goromcom: You know how if you open a Tumblr chat with someone you haven't chatted to before, Tumblr tells you two things they post about? I wanted to tell you that yours reports that you post "about #goromcom and #good omens." Aww! goromcom 4eva!
musegnome: #goromcom 4eva indeed! I actually have a weird online social media anxiety, because I worry that can't read people like I can in person. I've been an accountless Tumblr lurker for years - and finally created Tumblr and Discord accounts when I signed on to the Rom Com event! Everyone has been lovely. Please come say Hi on my new Tumblr!
goromcom: And we’re happy to have you! You chose to adapt The Wedding Singer as your rom com. Has this movie been a favorite of yours, or is there some other reason you chose it?
musegnome: I was a teenager when this movie came out and I've loved it forever (though not of course without an eye toward its more problematic qualities). I also feel like Robbie and Julia map very well to Crowley and Aziraphale respectively, and a lot of the other characters connect wonderfully too (Glenn's attitude toward Julia was reminiscent of Gabriel's attitude toward Aziraphale; Robbie's brother-in-law's nipple-twisting comments were a great way to link to Shadwell, etc.) Because of the aforementioned online social anxiety I was hesitant to jump in to the event, but when I realized I had a list of almost all the GO characters connected to Wedding Singer ones, and a multi-chapter story line outlined, I took the plunge! I'm really excited to mix up a favorite nostalgic movie with my current GO obsession.
goromcom: What's your favorite moment of The Wedding Singer, and are you looking forward to presenting it in your adaptation? Any loose plans for that scene that you can share?
musegnome: Less a favorite moment and more some favorite scenes/lines. The scene where Robbie is talking to the woman who jilted him at the altar, Linda, and as she's telling him about all the reasons she doesn't want to marry him, he says "You know, that information might have been a little more useful to me yesterday." I quote this line all the time, and that scene is definitely making it into this fic! Along with the whole wedding cake/dress shopping montage, capped by the bit where Robbie and Julia listen to the rival wedding singer John Lovitz (to be replaced by Hastur and Ligur ...with Ligur singing "I Will Survive"). That's actually the next scene up for me to write, and just writing this description has me antsy to get started!
goromcom: Oh, some Ligur irony there! It sounds like you may plan to stick closer to the story beats of the original movie rather than making bigger changes?
musegnome: Pretty closely. The major events and scenes will be the same as the Wedding Singer (but stuffed with GO tropes like a turducken), and there's a few original scenes I'm adding to firm up the Wedding Singer/GO bridges. I'm still working on the ending - in the movie, Glenn and Julia get on a plane to go get married in Las Vegas, and Robbie gets on the same plane and stops them. But I have Gabriel as Glenn, and since the angel/demon characters are still angels and demons in this fic, I can NOT imagine Gabriel tolerating plane travel at all, or viewing Las Vegas with anything other than horrified fascination. I have a tentative plan that will be a major change from the Wedding Singer ending, but would tie into the Nazi church scene in GO. We'll see how it plays out though; characters can veer off in unexpected directions!
goromcom: What's an interesting decision you've made in your planning so far--a notable casting decision, a changing of venue, or some other plan you have to paint Good Omens all over your rom com?
musegnome: I thought about doing the fic as a full human AU, but I had a lot of touches I wanted to include that involved angelic/demonic abilities. So I have the Wedding Singer town of Richfield (which is of course Tadfield in the fic) as a kind of neutral space where the angels/demons come to tinker and thwart each other in the happy parts/miserable parts of weddings and wedding planning. Also, The Wedding Singer was almost as much a tribute to the 1980s as it was a romcom; I'm not doing a specific 80s focus, although I've tried to keep music and technology mentions such that the fic could vaguely be set in the 80s. Like I mentioned earlier, a lot of the characters have similar roles and personalities, and map really well - Robbie and Julia as Crowley and Aziraphale, their respective BFFs Holly and Sammy as Anathema and Newt, Glenn as Gabriel, Rosie (the lady Robbie is teaching to sing) as Madam Tracy... so it's been fun to draw those lines.
goromcom: I am blatantly stealing this last question from The Good Place: The Podcast, but here goes: Tell me something "good". It can be something big or small. It can be a charity you think is doing good work, or you can talk about how great your pet is.
musegnome: Not to belabor a point, or to gush too much, but everyone on the GO RomCom server has been a delight. I've really loved getting to interact with everyone - couldn't be a nicer group (or a more welcoming fandom) for a socially anxious gnome to dip online toes into! And I haven't written for fun in a very, VERY long time, and it's been a real confidence booster to see how easily the writing has been flowing so far. (Hope I haven't just jinxed myself....) I'm so thrilled about this whole experience. Also, I have a very cute tiny dog who likes to keep me company while writing.
Tumblr media
goromcom: Adorable! 
Stay tuned for the GO adaptation of The Wedding Singer, coming soon!

My baby’ first day at day care, I am nervous but also excited to take her. I think she will enjoy it, as long as they give Reign something for the pain she will be fine “you are becoming so big my princess, have you grown? You looking so pretty for day care” leaning forward and pressing a kiss to Reign’ cheek “aww happy baby ain’t you” Reign clapped her hands giggling “you need to sit here baby, you’re wearing white and I can’t let you ruin this. Let me take a picture for your daddy, he can’t be here for your first day” walking over to the side table in the bedroom, I have strapped Reign into her booster seat, I can’t let her start ruining her outfit now, it’s white. Reign was supposed to go to day care last week but Maurice being Maurice, he didn’t want her to go yet, he took her to work but then he complained after like, I could have told him that. She likes to play, she is so happy today and I am loving it “excited aren’t you?” she is talking so much to herself, she is constantly saying da which doesn’t bother me but I wish she said mama, I mean I am the one that gave birth to her “ok, I am here. What is it?” Reign is staring at her hand saying something “what have you seen?” making my way back to Reign with my phone in hand, leaning down and holding her hand “what is it?” she is being intrigued by her hand, I don’t know what for “shall mommy kiss it better?” she looked up at me “ok” kissing her little hand “there we go, mommy kissed it better. Shall we take a picture for daddy now, he will be sad if he doesn’t get one” tapping on my camera on my phone “Reign! Baby look here” she is back to touching her hand again, I gasped “papa is here” Reign looked up, she knew. Taking the picture “so the word papa has really seeped into your little mind, what is he like” Maurice is a pain with this “let me send this to him” sitting on the edge of the bed, tapping on Maurice’ name “he is going to see how pretty you look” I do want to kill him too, Reign’ bedroom is becoming a damn amusement park, like my home is being changed dramatically. They are still working on it, today is supposed to be the last day, I do hope.
I miss my mom so much, it’s so empty without shouting mommy can you get this or get Reign for me “oh dear, your nose is running” making my way into the main living room “Jay, can you hold Reign for me?” I be always asking him to do that now since my mom is gone “sure” Jay got up from the couch “come here little crazy!” Jay laughed walking towards us “she was dancing last night; she was making me laugh. Hey you!” Reign smiled “I will wipe her nose, be back” walking off to get some tissues for her nose, also we have the new maid in the home which I am trying to get used too but it’s proving difficult for me “Good morning Mrs Davenport” Krista said to me “morning Krista, did Maurice tell you that I cleaned our bedroom already?” I asked “oh yes he did and thank you for the welcome gifts. You are so kind” I smiled at her grabbing the tissue from the side, when Krista came I thought I would try and be nice, I got her a welcome hamper, I mean she is living with us so she is family, like Jay is so I got to try. She seems to be not in the way at all, she is always doing her thing though. She is very kind too; I do lose her in the home. My phone started to ring in my hand, it’s my mother “hello mom” answering the call “morning Robbie, I miss you so much. How are you?” making my way back to Jay “I am ok mom, just getting Reign ready for day care, it’s her first time. I am excited for her. Also her tooth at the bottom is pushing out, I can see it. I am like so excited that my baby is getting her first tooth, how are you?” wiping Reign’ nose, her little red cheeks are adorable to me “there you go, Jay. Please do not let her ruin her clothes” I said to him before walking off “I am ok, I have seen Thomas. We are starting again, but I said before we start thinking things are ok, Robyn is the girl you hurt. But I am missing you so much Robyn, my beautiful girl” I grinned like a goof, my mom makes me happy so much.
Sitting down away from Jay “I love you mom; I do miss you here. When are you coming back?” my mom laughed “I have been here a week Robyn, soon” poking my lips out “but, I do have something to speak to you about, I came back, and I responded to the letter. She left her number; it was her daughter’ number. I text it; I didn’t want to talk but she called me so I answered, it was awkward oh my god, it was hard to speak to her. She said she remembers me for the little time I was with him and she asked is it true, is the girl we saw on the TV that smiled like her brother is the girl. She said in my heart I know it is, so I said it is. And I apologised and I explained why, I was scared but she said she understood. I was shocked, she said things were a mess. Her mother cried seeing you but she said it might not be it without clear confirmation, they do remember I was dating him, he spoke a lot about me which to be honest, I got emotional. He didn’t speak on feelings as much but his sister said he mentioned me to her, he was happy. Anyways enough of me but then she said she would call later, she did. I spoke to Rell’ mother, it was emotional. I ended up crying, so she said can I meet her, I said she lives in New York, she has also just recently found out about Rell, this is all new to her. We kept it short so she says she will fly to you, just her ex-husband, her son too. They broke up once Rell passed away, she said in her heart she felt her son lived on. Look It’s up to you, she said she will come to you. But let me know, I will set it up for you. No need to speak to her, just once you’re ready” I wasn’t expecting this at all, I paused just thinking to myself “Robbie, you don’t have to say anything right now” my mom said “uhm, Maurice is at work. I will speak to him; I don’t know how to feel mom. It’s just weird, it’s like I am missing something in my heart. Thomas will never be dad anymore and I am mourning that and now I have to mourn the fact my real dad is dead? I just can’t process this; I am mourning my dad” I am welling up now.
Taking in a deep breath “I will speak to Maurice on this mom, I am ok” I don’t want to cry but I do feel upset in regards to this situation, I feel very hurt “you do what you need to Robyn, you can decide to meet them or not, it’s ok. You speak to Maurice” smiling a little “I will do, and mom. Thank you for protecting me, as a mother myself now. I was ready to protect Reign from Maurice and his family; I would do the same. I know the love you hold for me like I do for Reign, I get it” my mom cooed out “thank you Robyn, that means so much to me. Sometimes as a mother you can make the wrong decisions, that is ok too, but you think on it. I am not going to tell what to do ok?” she is leaving the decision to me, bless her “thank you mom, I will catch Maurice later, he was talking to his Mami in the morning. This is the first time I have caught him doing it” the phone line went silent “what?” my mom said “Paula from Spain, his Mami like he calls her. The woman that took care of him, he was speaking to her in Spanish, such strong Spanish so I could not understand what he was saying, seems like he was arguing, I only knew when he said Mami, Mami and then something about something. I have no idea mom, but he was speaking to her in the morning. I would like to know. I wish I knew Spanish, it’s funny how he doesn’t ever call Joy, like at all” it’s so odd, I find it weird “as a mother that would hurt me, wow. What is Mami?” my mom asked “mother I think anyways, I need to go and drop off Reign, speak soon. Love you” I want my mom back already “love you too, don’t work too hard” I laughed disconnecting the call “shall we drop you off now baby, time for day care” getting up from the seat.
Jay came with me, he is driving me when I said I could but he said he would do it “so how are things between you and Ally? Are you both official yet?” I am being nosey of course, not like I care but I like to be nosey “uh, no not yet. Still early days, I feel like” Jay paused as he was looking around at the New York traffic “I feel like she is holding back, we didn’t have sex at all. That never happened, I actually got my own room. She is nice, I feel like she wants love but doesn’t want to give it, I think she is scared. And I ain’t got no problem with that, just give me a little. You know” and it was like the thought hit me “maybe Maurice did that” it came out of my mouth so quick, I didn’t even process that “ha, wow. You didn’t think about that did you?” Jay said, I am shocked at myself “clearly not, sorry. I think, and I am just saying this, I know Maurice was not an angel. I know that myself, trust me. He did do that girl so wrong; I am not sticking up for her or him, she is stupid too but he also kept going along with this game, but I get it also. Love doesn’t go away, I know she cares for Maurice way more then she is leading on, Maurice probably knows that too but he wants her to move on, I did see you both talking, you both looked very happy, I think you need to give her time if you are willing to give it her. I have stopped being a bitch, at one point I wanted her dead, I wanted a lot but then I had to weigh out the faults. She was a woman about it too, but I did hate her and I now don’t care because I don’t feel insecure, like I did anyways” Jay sighed out “I do have time I guess, you are brutally honest today aren’t you” nodding my head laughing “I can’t help it, but it’s just one of those things. I am not blind to it, love doesn’t go away, and I can see she did love him, I mean come on. She stuck around for his shit, I didn’t and wouldn’t. Now he is good, but I can imagine how he was, business men do have that power hungry head, he does. I just know my man, and I know what love is. Give her time, she is scared of another man hurting her, ok?” Jay smirked “thank you Robyn, women are hard to figure out, but I do understand now” I want Ally to get a man for herself, I am not blaming just her because it was him too.
Placing Reign’ baby bag over my arm before picking her out of the car seat “big day for you baby, I hope you’re going to be a good girl” I love this Fendi hend band, she looks so glamorous for today “shall I come with you?” Jay asked “no, I am ok. Stay there please, I don’t want them to think we are having a bodyguard now” pressing the buzzer “it’s your nap time soon isn’t it” watching Reign sucking on her bottom lip, she just wants to chew and suck on anything “I wish I could stop the drooling” wiping her chin “I will get your soft toy out to chew on” she has to be the biggest blessing for me, I love her so much “Good morning! Hello Reign-Texas, and Robyn. Come in” Thelma met us, walking inside the building “doesn’t she look like a doll, hello you” Reign stared at Thelma in disgust “I thought, it’s her first day. Dress to impress” I laughed wiping the saliva again “my baby” I feel sad now, I don’t want to leave her at all “come on in, settle Reign in for the first time. Maurice not here this time?” Thelma asked “no, he is working. He had to go, he will be picking her up though, so you will see him, he will be emotional about it” I know what he is like with his dramatic ass “I am sure he will be” following Thelma to the room.
Sitting on the floor next to Reign, she has her grip on my sleeve while stood tall looking around, she is intrigued to see other kids around “I have put her things away, and we will do as you said with the medication for the pain. Reign, we have your milk. It’s your nap time now” Thelma said, Reign’ eyes widened seeing her own milk bottle. Her head turned looking at me “Thelma got your bottle?” I said, Reign looked back and she raised her free hand towards the bottle “it’s your bottle baby, you go to bed now” Thelma crouched down “come on, you’re coming to me” Thelma placed her bottle down and then opened her arms, Reign is just staring she ain’t going to do anything. Reaching over and grabbing Reign’ bottle “I think I will feed her, put her to sleep and then go?” I can’t help it, it’s my daughter and I honestly don’t want to leave her, but I have work, I love her to death. I don’t want to leave her with strangers, and I am so sad to leave her, but I won’t admit that to Maurice because then he will say I told you so.
Tumblr media
I don’t have a car seat for Reign, and I am in my SUV, what can I do but place her on my lap. I can’t wait to see Reign, if they ever open the damn door. I really need to get Robyn a car, soon anyways. The door opened, this white lady stood there “Maurice, come in. Sorry we took so long” walking inside “it’s ok, I am excited to see my daughter. Is she ok? How has she been?” I hope she is ok, at least had a good day “I have not seen her, I know she is new though” letting out an oh, she swiped her card and the door unlocked “we have Reign’ dad here, come in” I can see my baby from here, in her little white dress “look at my boo thang” Thelma is putting her jacket on “is she sad?” I asked, I keep asking this lady things and she don’t know “Thelma can speak on her day for you, here she is” my smile grew “Mi Amor, awww hello, come here” Reign looked actually happy to see me, her arms open to me, the biggest smile on her face “yes, papa is here” taking Reign from Thelma “awww we hug, ok we hug” Reign held me “how was she? Did she cry?” I need to know this “she woke up very unsettled, she was not happy at first. Then the day continued she started to warm to me, I took her to the soft play area, get her moving more. She is reluctant in walking; she is there but it’s so scary. We all get it, it’s a big step in her case. And she hasn’t explored in terms of crawling, I see her refusal to attempt to crawl, she doesn’t want to know. She stands and thinks of what to do, she was ok. We had fun didn’t we Reign” she looks happy, I can take that “she skipped over the normal procedure, she is special. I am glad to know she had fun, yeah?” looking at Reign, she smiled at me “for once huh, you want to smile at me” she missed me.
Robyn told me to cook dinner, well I didn’t cook I obviously ordered something in, I don’t really cook. I mean if I wanted too I could, it’s literally hard work trying to feed myself and then Reign at the same time when she is making a damn mess of everything “are you done? Mess” sat there slapping the damn tray “I am back home and look at you both eating late why?” feeling Robyn press a kiss to the top of my head “well, the food came late. It’s still warm, come and eat and also feed Reign” I said, Robyn made her way to Reign “mommy is back, look at your messy face. Missed you, I will be back to eat with you. I thought you was going to cook?” I had to laugh at that “you thought Bonita, and that was never going to happen. What’s good? I got you something too Jay, sit down” dapping Jay “Reign is a mess” Jay pointed “this is what happens when you leave a man to do something, how was day care for her, I was so sad leaving her. Tell me” I pointed at Robyn “you wanted this!” I spat “anyways, tell me!?” Robyn half shouted “so yeah, I went there and Reign was so happy to see me, Thelma said she was unsettled when she woke up but she was ok, she said Reign is scared to take that big step, it’s ok. Daddy got you” Robyn sat down at the table “awww my baby, I am happy she was ok, I just didn’t want her to be stressed out upset, what is this? Daddy decided to take off your clothes as he does! Maurice, you love doing this to her, she has been putting food all over herself, god” I shrugged “you’re here now” she can deal with it.
Robyn is not amused by what I did, she had to give Reign a bath and clean up the mess “can you never feed Reign again? You’re a mess, but anyways. I need to speak to you” my ears perked up “oh, am I in trouble” flicking through the newspaper, I like to see the business part “listen to me” she snatched the newspaper “ok” rolling my eyes and moving onto my back “what was you arguing to Paula about? You seemed really angry at her?” she heard then “she came to Atlanta to visit; she never came to see me. I was highly upset about it, she said that my dad told her to not see me, Joy doesn’t like it. I just got angry saying since when do you listen to him, I wanted you here. She said she doesn’t want to upset Joy, and I just said in Spanish terms fuck her” Robyn put her finger up to stop me from speaking “I am not spreading any rumours but so was your dad, are they still fucking!?” I shrugged “I just find it rude that she was there, it’s whatever though. It’s not my problem but her husband came so I doubt it” I stifled out a yawn “your dad totally met her, I don’t care what you say but anyways, next chapter in the Willis household” I groaned out “nobody care about Willis household, they boring” Robyn reached over slapping my arm “be quiet, so my mom called me. My real dad’ mom wants to meet me, she said she is willing to come New York for me, my mom said it is up to me on what I want to do but I said I would speak to you about it. I just feel scared and sad, I don’t know. You tell me, I trust your word” my eyed widened “wow, ok” that is a big jump “they really want to see you, hand on my heart. I would say let them come here, they can use my office meeting room. I would do it, I can either watch from afar or be there, but do it” Robyn is very unsure, bless her heart “no, I want you there please. So I should say yes?” nodding my head “trust me, it could be a good thing and if not you’re not losing anything, I will be there” I agree with the meet up, I think it will be great.
