[02:49]
"Holy shit, Y/n! Is that a black card?"
"Huh? This?"
You looked to your friends who were amused at the sight of you pulling out the card from your purse. They got closer to you to see if it's real or not.
"How do you get this?"
"Oh, it's from my boyfriend. He gave me this so I can buy anything I want."
You answered it with cheerful tone. You still can remember how sad your boyfriend were when you decided to purchase something using your own money. He stated that he will be responsible to everything that you wanted to buy. It's such a sweet thing to you however your friends thought different.
"Are you a gold digger?"
"What...do you mean?"
"Listen, y/n. Do you really think people can easily give their own card to you? Especially a guy? You must have done something to him."
Here, you really thought they are your real friends but turned out they are just same like everyone else. They were still talking about your flaws and you just sit in front of them clenching your fists. You thought you can spend some good time with your friends. You even convinced your boyfriend to let you out with them. Now, you regret it.
"Are you mad? Come on, we were just joking. Don't be so sensitive."
You opened the lid of your bubble tea cup and throw the drink to them. They were shocked and shouted at you when they felt sticky because of the sugary drink.
"Are you crazy?"
"Don't be so sensitive. I'm also joking."
---
---
That night, your boyfriend was curious when you keep zoning out. Even when both of you were watching your favourite drama, you didn't even focus to it.
"Okay honey, what happened to you?"
"No-nothing. I'm just tired."
"Don't lie. I can see it from your eyes."
He brought you closer to his body so you can lean to his shoulder. When you felt he started to caress your back, your tears started to fall too.
"Jay, am I worthless?"
"What? Of course not. You are the most precious thing I ever have."
"But, my friends...they keep saying that I am a gold digger when they saw I'm using your black card to purchase something."
Jay clenched his jaw when he heard your sobbing got louder. God, the amount of anger building inside of him. He knew he should not let you out with those bitches. He comforted you for few minutes and cuddled with you to ensure that everything is fine.
"I told you, right? You should cut ties with everyone. They don't even respect you. I will take care of you and I will never leave you."
"You are right. I really hate them."
Jay smiled at the thought. You hate them so that means he should get rid of those assholes. It's okay, he will pay someone to do it. For now, he only wanted to spend time with you.
--
I love man with money😍 Hope you guys enjoy this everyone😁 I typed this because I can't sleep so I need to let it all out😀😀

If you haven't already done it: 49 “Quit touching me. Your feet are cold.” Thank you!
Was this inspired by an episode of The Golden Girls? Maaaaybe... 👀
You didn't give me a pairing, but this could be read as Lawrusso or even Lawgurusso (I think that's what we're calling it??) Or just gen. Either way, this ended up being way longer than a drabble, but I couldn't resist. Thanks for the prompt, anon! 🥰
49. “Quit touching me. Your feet are cold.”
“Quit touching me! Your feet are cold!” Daniel groused, jerking his legs away from Johnny’s frozen toes.
“Well, maybe if you weren’t such a blanket hog...” Johnny sniffled from the other end of the sofa, voice little more than a painful rasp. “You could share, you know.”
“You could get up and get your own damn blanket, you know,” Daniel shot back, teeth chattering as he wrapped himself up tighter. Like hell he was sharing his blanket with Johnny. It was his fault he got sick in the first place.
“Getting up means moving. Moving hurts. Breathing hurts. Existing hurts,” Johnny whined, trying and failing to suppress a deep, chest-rattling cough. He sounded so miserable, Daniel almost took pity on him.
Almost.
“And whose fault is that, Mr. Real Men Don’t Need Doctors?”
“Yours! You’re the one who insisted we start a children’s class. Fuckin’ little germ factories,” Johnny grumbled, wiping his nose on his sleeve.
Daniel made a face of disgust, tossing a box of Kleenex at his head. “Gross. If you’d just gone and got a flu shot like I said…”
“Yeah, well you did get a flu shot, and look where that got you. Right here, on this couch, shivering your tits off next to me.”
“Exactly! I’m already freezing, I’m not giving you my blanket!” Daniel snapped, slapping at Johnny’s hands as he once again tried to wrestle a corner away. “Cut it out! I will kick you in the face again!”
“And I’ll punch you in the dick if you don’t… Hey!” Johnny yelped as a throw pillow smacked him upside the head.
“At-tat-tat-tat!” Chozen hushed, shooting them both a red-eyed glare from where he sat slumped in the armchair opposite, nursing a cup of tea. He claimed it was medicinal, but Daniel suspected Johnny was onto something when he guessed it was the ‘Long Island’ variety. “Mark is about to propose to Annika!”
“Big whoop, dude’s already been married three times, like this one’s really gonna stick.” Johnny rolled his eyes at the TV screen, where Mark was getting down on one knee.
Daniel smirked. Clearly, Johnny was a little more invested in 90-Day Fiancé than he let on.
“Johnny-san has no sense of romance,” Chozen sniffed, his watery eyes still glued to the screen.
“Johnny-san knows a gold-digger when he sees one,” Johnny countered. Giving Daniel one last, pitiful look, he curled up on his own end of the couch, bathrobe pulled tight around him to ward off the chills. He looked so pathetic, Daniel finally relented and held out one side of the blanket with a long-suffering sigh.
“Rude. Should not talk about mother of child like that,” Chozen admonished, as Johnny crawled under the blanket and tucked himself against Daniel’s side.
“Who said I was talking about Shan?” Johnny asked, face scrunched in confusion. “I was a professional sugar baby for most of my twenties. Trust me, this chick’s an amateur.”
Chozen huffed a disappointed sigh and turned off the TV.
#johnny is still a professional sugar baby#he scored daniel and chozen so he clearly knows what he's talking about#this one just kept growing#I'm not sorry#these three cooped up sick together was too good to resist#johnny lawrence#daniel larusso#chozen toguchi#cobra kai#lawrusso#lawgurusso#drabbles are like gremlins#my writing

!!!NEW REVIEW!!!
the first review of the new year, and what better way than to ring it in with a short that takes place mostly in the winter? or, more importantly, a short that places focus on a bear who is “wacky about tobacc-y”? armed with a “starring Porky” title card that fools absolutely nobody, the short centers around Porky’s—presumed—grandfather (if Porky can be the father of a cat in Gold Diggers of ‘49, then a dog can be his grandpa) reminiscing upon his days as a hunter and how a hungry bear craving his chewing tobacco made for a rather memorable, if not frightening, specimen
#i admit this one surprised me at how funny it was#i’ve only seen it once in full before because i held a grudge of ‘Porky is in this for like 40 seconds so it must automatically suck’ for#over 3 years#lt#the chewin’ bruin#clampett#reviews#looney tunes

Tex Avery Birthday Spectacular!
Hello all you happy people! And welcome to a celebration of the only cartoon director I knew as a kid and one of the finest whose ever lived, Mr. Tex Avery.
Avery is a legend in the animation industry and rightly so. Starting out at a few other studios, and loosing sight in one of his eyes due to some tomfoolery at one, Tex was annoyed with the restrctive enviorment and eventually found his way to Termite Terrace, the animated shorts wing of Leon Schislenger Productions, aka the future Warner Brothers Studios and the makers of Looney Tunes. And his impact on the franchise is vast, cannot be overstated and I only learned about just how much recently: The man created Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny, created the prototype for Elmer Fudd, and created the design for Porky we’re all far more familiar with.
Eventually though while he was happy there, his career when ended when he eventually got into a squabble with Leon schsinger over the ending of “The Heckling Hare” and left soon after. Given he got a four week unpaid suspension for it , a bit extreme given all he’d given the studio, I can’t blame him. He instead went over to MGM who badly needed his wacky energy, and thus got to go as nuts as he wanted, with creative control a better budget and the result was his peak and classic characters like Red and my personal faviorite and personal boy: Droopy. I will try and do a birthday thing for him next month, we’ll see if my rather packed schedule will allow for it. Point is I watched the guys cartoons a lot as a kid between looney tunes and his shorts being repacked for the Tex Avery show in the late 90′s, and until recently I had no idea the depth and scope of his career: The guy gave looney tunes it’s standard fourth walll breaking and made it a huge part of the industry, and he was the one to hlep htem break out of being a Disney knockoff and into what we know today. The guy has my utmost respect so today I honor him as the first animator to get one of my birthday specials: As is my standard ten shorts, my patreons get to pick one each (I now have two but she start’s next month so her benefits will too) if they so choose (Kev opted out of the porky pig one next week) and I went to my friend blah for a recomendation as he’s an avid fan of the golden age of animation and thus usually has a really good choice up his sleeve. Now that’s out of hte way join me under the cut for some shenanigans as old tex would want it that way.
1. The Gold Diggers of 49 (1935)
This was Tex Avery’s first short with warner and the first of his I could find, not ot mention his first time working with Chuck Jones and Bob Clampett, who he’d mentor and go on to be the heart and soul of Looney Tunes and define the characters Tex created. And since this is more significant than his earlier work i’m coutning it as his first. And as a start it’s.. ehhhhhhh.
I don’t blame him for it though. Most don’t hit it out of hte park their first time up to bat, and frankly the deck was stacked against him. He was saddled with Beans the Cat...
No one brak no one. He was part of an attempt by warner to create a new star as part of a Little Rascals/Our Gang style group of kids debuting in the short “I Haven’t Got a Hat”. This short is notable not for Beans, who no one cares about, but for the debut of Looney Tunes first star: Porky Pig. Porky was just one of the various characters but the only one audiences really liked. It took some time for Warner to get the hint though, hence Beans starring here and Porky playing his girlfriend’s father.. and also now being much older than him for some reason.
So instead of being a Little Rascals ripoff bean is now a mickey mouse ripoff, as the short gives me mickey mouse vibes.. but without the things that made those shorts actually good and feels mostly built on studios trying to make what they think audiences will like. There’s sparks of waht Tex would become.. but just not enough wiggle room for him to make something special. Also porky looks and sounds weird in this one and Bean’s girlfriend has a REALLY annoying voice. Oh and two horrible Asian stereotypes, because it was acceptable at the time but lord was it never okay. Then again I should be at least mildly greatful none of the shorts had blackface.. because tex apparently REALLY had a problem with that, something I obviously didn’t know as a kid as they edited it out but given most of his MGM shorts have “blackface edited out of x version”, yeahhh.... I may like the guy, quite a bit and feel those gags weren’t done out of malice.. but it dosen’t make them okay, they were never okay and he should’ve done better.
2. I Love to Singa (1936)
Thankfully our next entry is 800% better, as we get a classic from my childhood and probably multiple childhoods. Admittedly part of the reason this one stuck in my head is the title song, sung by a young jazz singing owl whose dad doesn’t like that he sings Jazz instead of classical, enters a contest and nearly looses singing classical to please his dad only for his dad to intervene and finally accept his son. It’s a wonderful story of acceptance with some decent gags, beautiful animation and one hell of a title track that will probably never leave my head. The song is really what makes this short and sometimes that’s okay. Also just to note so someone else doesn’t: This short was a parody of the Jazz Singer one of the first talkie’s.. and also a film that uses blackface and whose 80′s remake bafflingly also uses blackface for some reason. Yes really.
3. Tortoise Beats Hare (1941)
One of Tex’s only four Bugs Shorts.. but given 3/4 of them are certified classics, and one of them involving a horrible stereotype.. to the point it’s part of the rightfully infamous “Censored 11″ and the ONLY one involving Bugs Bunny.
So as I said, Tex has a bad history with casual racism, and while it was the style at the time and I don’t THINK he was actively malicious towards black people.. it doesn’t make some of his work any less harmful. The rest of his bugs work though is remembered for the right reasons: his first appearance, and early classic we’ll get to next.. and this standout everyone who saw it as a kid or an adult fondly remembers.
You all know the premise: Bugs finds out, in an utterly brilliant wall shattering bit at the start where he reads off the crew names and then the title, that this picture will have him beaten by a turtle and taking offense to that challenges the guy. This is honestly one of the few Bugs shorts where he’s the out and out villain of the picture. He’s doing this race purely out of ego, yells at Cecil whose perfectly nice in this one, and in general is the bully set up for a fall he’d later be famous for taking on. But it works, both because this si early in bugs career so it’s entirely in character, and because Mel just really sells the obnoxiousness while still being funny.
This short also has one of Tex’s trademark setups as this is essentially a prototypical droopy cartoon: A meek, goofy voiced protagonist whose shorter than his large obnoxious enemy and who torments him by showing up every where he’s going to be and casually doing it. Cecil even does so using an army of fellow turtles with Droopy later using a similar trick in one of his shorts. As a big Droopy fan i’m clearly not complaining and while Droopy would do it better, this short’s still a classic for a reason with tons of great bits and is a fun break from the usual bugs setup, though in full fairness the usual bugs setup is still solid gold so take that how you will.
4. The Heckling Hare (1941)
Originally I was going to have Daffy in Hollywood in this spot as I thought it was on Max, it was not, so I swapped it out with his final bugs cartoon. For the record his first, and Bugs, is being saved for Bugs birthday this summer. And honestly i’m glad I did because this was 7 mintues of pure joy that has another setup that Tex himself and other Looney Tunes animators would resuuse: Bugs being pitted up against a far dumber antagonist. One who often still fully deserves it but allows him to just have fun for several minutes at this dumb bastard’s expense. It works well here, with tons of clever gags, my faviorite being the two doing dumb faces with each other only for bugs to stop and pull out a sign as seen right above.
It’s also an approriate capper to our warner made Tex shorts for the day, as this would be the one that got him fired. He and Schisnger argued over it and he got suspended as I mentioned and I found it again a bit fucking extreme. So did Tex and after a handful of shorts elsewhere, he’d move over to MGM, whose cartoons would ironically be bought up by warner. They needed a shot in the arm to compete with Disney and Warner and Tex was happy to provide hte needle filled with nonsense. And the results.. are pure gold.
5. Dumb Hounded (1943)
I’ll admit as a kid I didn’t know Tex’s MGM shorts were theatrical, or any shorts but somehow I knew they weren’t looney tunes. Besidds obviously having hteir own show they just had their own tone and pacing and style. While the Looney Tunes aren’t bad, at all honestly, Tex’s work here was in a class by itself with MGM gladly giving him a higher budget and even more creative freedom. And the results speak for themselves and one of those results is one of if not my faviorite classic cartoon character. And since I might not be able to get to his birthday with one of these next month, though i’m certainly going to try march is just VERY VERY FULL. Anyways point is our happy hero was introduced here. And given i’m frequently depressed and often withdrawn, not that you could tell from my reviews here, I related to this depressed bulldog who always won anyway despite being an outsider, finding love, sucess and always beating a much larger, much more assholish antagonist. But Droopy is good on his own merits as his shorts are just that funny.
This was true from Day One as dumb hounded is fucking perfect: The Wolf that Avery always used in his cartoons escapes from jail and is hunted by bloodhounds including our boy, who charmingly introduces himself with “You know what, i’m the hero”. From there it’s a simple setup but a great one as Droopy finds the guy.. then chases him from here to enternity with one amazing gag after another. Simple, utterly hilarious and the dawn of a legend, with the ending having Droopy go a bit nuts after getting his reward money before returning to his usual demeanor “You know what? I’m happy” So am I bud, so am I.
6. Red Hot Riding Hood (1943)
Yup same year. Tex hit the ground sprinting. This one is his signature MGM toon and for good reason. Using his usual forth wall breaking style, both the wolf and red riding hood rebel when it opens with a typical telling, so it changes to a 40′s nightlife setting: Grandma lives in a penthouse and is man hungry, Red is a fanservicey night club act and the Wolf is a sexually harassing asshole who chases after here and has some over the top reactions to her that are iconic in some’s mind.
The short is gorgeously animated with Red’s dance sequence and Wolfie’s reactions being the highlight and the short isn’t as bad as it could be as the wolf is treated as a scumbag for hitting on her and generally being a creep. SO the first two thirds aren’t bad with nice touches like the narrator clearly improvising the new story. It’s just badly hampered by the last half where Grandma sexually harasses Wolfie and it just doesn’t work. This double standard stuff annoys me and “haha get it it’s funny when a woman stalks a man” isn’t funny. Wolfie stalking her really isn’t that funny either it’s just not you know an entire third of the film. So a classic for a reason.. but one that really has degraded with time. Still worth analyzing and what not, just not great.
7. Who Killed Who? (1943)
Yes still. It was a good year. This is another one off like Red Hot Riding Hood and as is tradition since the Tom and Jerry one, my patreons each get to pick one and Kev selected this one. And this.. was a great choice.
Seriously I could not stop laughing with a great gag a minute, WAY too many to mention, a classic ending, and just nothing but net the whole time. I don’t have much to say really.. but because this one’s just good. The whodunnit genre hasn’t really gone away, it’s cliches are welll known even today and this is a lovely parody of it that hits the ground running after a live action intro and runs right through the wall across a lake and straight into droopy “You moved.”.
The only real observation I have other than “This is fucking awesome watch it immediately” is that the villian looks exactly like the Phantom Blot. Who knew the Phantom Blot was a live action guy with a weird haircut the whole time huh? Seriously this one is a masterpiece, an instant faviorite, and I highly recommend it.
8. Screwball Squirrel (1944)
As you can probably guess by how I lead it in this one is not very good. It is tex TRYING to make a bugs or daffy type character again and somehow failing at it. He created them, he did plenty of shorts like theirs with other characters and got how the cat and mouse antics of the old theatrical shorts worked.. so I have no idea how this one happened.
I’m really not overselling it: The short is about Screwy, who hyjacks it from a cute widdle bunny clearly parodying bambi.. who he beats the shit out of, then decides to get things going asks a dumb dog to hunt him, then insults him to provoke him to attacking him. He then spends the entire short tormenting the poor dumb bastard who again HE PROVOKED. It feels like a poor imitation of dumb hounded, as while Bugs clearly outclassed the dog there, he’d die if he lost, so while he was punching down, he clearly didn’t have a choice and you can’t honestly blame him. Here, Screwy is fine, he just wants someone’s head to fuck with and spends a whole short torturing him. We don’t even get catarsis as while the dog does catch him at the end via weird gag, they end up deciding to beat up the bunny instead.
His voice is also just the worst, just utterly grating and making me wish an anvil woudl fall on HIM instead. Screwy would return for some other shorts but I have no idea why. This was easily the weakest of these ten shorts and I will probably not return to the guy next year.
9. Bad Luck Blackie (1949)
This is one i’d forgotten till I got a ways in. It’s also weirdly one of the only MGM Tex shorts on HBO Max as this was included in the Tom and Jerry collection for some reason, the dog in it clearly isn’t the tom and Jerry verison of spike... though the dog Droopy fought a lot was indeed called spike. Yes that is confusing, no I don’t know why MGM thought this was a good idea.
As a result though I have been saving giving out about this till now but seirously , put the tex avery shorts on HBO Max. Their on Blu-Ray, their on boomerang, especially Droopys. I do not get why they aren’t on here. I’m tired of them holding things out for the boomerang app when not everyone subscirbes to that. Let me have my morose dog dammit.
That giving out aside i’m glad this one caught my eye via i’ts weird name as it’s another masterpiece. It also does what one Tom and Jerry short I reviewed, the one where tom’s a millionare, earlier this month failed to: properly make it’s antagonist loathsome enough to deserve the parade of abuse he gets. With that one Tom is tourturning jerry for like 30 seconds, but Jerry torments him for most of 5 minutes.
Here we get about two minutes of our lead kitten getting torremnted by a mean bulldog. It’s not only still a bit entertaining to lessen the horror just enough to be watchable but not enough to make the bulldog likeable, but it makes what happens for the rest of the short oh so fucking satsifying. While the previous short today really didn’t get the karmic ballance neded for a good classic screwball comedy short this one overwhelmingly does.
Our kitten gets some help in the form of Blackie, a professional black cat who agrees to turn the tables, sauntring across to a wonderfully catchy tune. any time the little guy whistles. The result from there is 5-6 nonstop minutes of comedy genius, as Tex finds new and creative ways for the cat to come out of nowhere, and even shakes things up to keep it intresting towards the end iwth the dog getting the whistle.. only for it to still not work out, and for our little kitten to get his revenge at last by painting himself black after the bulldog paints blackie white. As should be obvious by now, it’s really good, showing Screwball Squirrel was the exception not the rule. In general Tex was this good during his mgm and when he was at his peak we got gems like this. Truly sensational, watch it if you have max it’s under the tom and jerry section for some reason.
10. T.V. of Tommorow
A decent one I remember seeing as a kid. Not much to say though, it’s mostly a bunch of gags about “future” tv’s based on their viewer’s needs. Some good stuff.. not as good as most of what was here today but still better than the worst of it and still very memorable and part of a memorable tetralogy i’ll probably come back to when I do Tex’s birthday again next year. Not a bad note to end on though.
Overall these shorts show just how strong a creator tex was, gleefully taking convention and ripping it to tiny pieces. As i’ve mentioned many times i’ll be coming back to his work next year.. and probably be watching a hell ofa lot more in the time between. Might even do a second special on him in between birthday ones. We’ll see how this does. The Tom and Jerry one sadly wasn’t quite the hit I hoped.
Until then I have many other reviews. And since Today (This review is late) was supposed to be the 90′s tom and jerry movie but that turned out not to be on Max for some reason. I still plan to cover it some day i’ll just have to find it and buy it first. But tommorow if I have the time i’ll be continuing the Lena retrospective with an intresting little side trip. So until then, i’ts been a pleasure and you know what? Thanks for reading.

Warner Bros Shorts
Gold Diggers of ‘49 (1935)
Quality: Bad
This cartoon is kind of big deal. It marks the return of Porky Pig, the Warner Bros directing debut of none other than Fred “Tex” Avery, and is animated by legends Bob Clampett and Charles “Chuck” Jones. It marks a bit of a turning point for WB cartoons, which had been almost entirely mediocre if not outright bad up until now, into something more sharply written and gag-heavy. The animation is really fluid and and enjoyable to watch, and the plot, about discovering gold and dealing with a robber, moves at a great pace and is entertainingly told.
That said, despite all this praise, there are some major issues with this one. There is of course the fact that Beans is the actual main character, and he’s as boring as ever. There’s also some unfortunate but predictable fat-shaming jokes at Porky’s expense and a boring and sexist ‘woman as prize’ cliche. But most damning, there’s a heaping helping of heinous racism. There’s a pair of gross Chinese caricatures that feature prominently in the first half, and just when I didn’t think it could get worse the characters are covered in dust for a blackface joke. So, yeah, important, historic even, cartoon, but with a gigantic ugly side to it that unfortunately prevents me from being able to recommend it.
