#possibly ''oh no i have paint on my clothes :('' is more of an issue when you're a ghost and can't physically change clothes#but then one might ask how a ghost gets paint on their clothes in the first place… are the clothes or any part of them physically Tangible…#was brian coming to school in the same clothes every day without anyone noticing… these are the important questions clearly#goosebumps the musical#brooke rodgers#zeke matthews#brian colson#(goosebumps wiki tells me colson is brian's last name. hopefully the book backs that up. don't know if the musical confirms or denies it)

brian Does change clothes in that multiple times there's descriptions of particulars of That Day's Outfit and v much not in a "hey hasn't he been wearing this the whole time" way lol which is very fun in that it does seem to emphasize that brian is solely concerned about it in a completely mundane way, whether it's then actually harder or easier to remove paint as a ghost....about the same i suppose given that his tangibility seems v ordinary and he's asking about washability methods like he doesn't think he needs any extra factor. the fun of brian's general like anxiety & suffering being potentially Just His Personality Already, Ordinarily but perhaps ambiguously, partially, having to do with having died & all....

a sort of similar detail that's more ghostly is that brian seems to kind of Feign going home but evades details about it. e.g. one time brooke asks where he lives & he Gestures In A Direction, like you do, and another time he just kind of walks off into the night which our narration via brooke presumes as Towards Home. although it's a mysterious time b/c zeke just kind of goes off somewhere that's Not home and it isn't ever specified what he was up to there, and then tina emerges to add to the uncertainty and be suspicious. but brian like, leaves the school, goes off somewhere, shows up at / outside it or hangs out w/them at zeke's house From somewhere, and apparently can change clothes and isn't like looking very 1920s with it, but there's no further details lol. and like, is he keeping up with schoolwork in all of this, where's he actually go at night, he presumably can't like die again But otherwise his experience seems very corporeal and ordinary, i Think the only hint of anything being off in the book is zeke's dog being Somewhat wary of brian lol, which is surely a deliberate like animal detecting the paranormal situation. but even said dog isn't Too pressed about it like, he's just some guy

although the book, as i was skimming through passages there, also has zeke hold the back of his head and say he thinks someone hit him after the show lmao which is quite the bold move for brian otherwise being so ordinary and only remarkably nervous and threatened rather than threatening, not the Most to do but i think it'd be a whole deal to muster that level of a swing at someone. but you know, you have to get him on stage somehow and then the musical kind of making it more ambiguous like, Not implying anything abt the method via which one was passed out the whole time, i'd again just be like "eh ghost things," why not, given that there's Also the one moment where he's failing to feel Warmth or what all as the substitute Hint that he's not just entirely some guy, i.e. there can be Some traits that are a bit more supernatural, and that seems more attuned to brian than him being v successful at just suddenly taking someone tf out. like sure on the one hand One Last Goal, maybe he was procrastinating too on trying to sabotage zeke any more elaborately / before the last second, but. and musical brian isn't So nervous as book brian but still a bit for sure, and being very regular all the same....emile with another inadvertently misdirecting safety talk about not concussing anyone. although there's also the part where a ghost who's just some guy hanging out might be very blasé about death lmao. like according to gb ghost kids lore, zeke may or may not be aware he died, and then just get to continue hanging out lmao, although you do generally seem to need some especial Mission to fulfill whether you're also aware of that or not. a loop formed here where ghosts keep having to wait around to perform as the phantom and accidentally(?) killing the living actor to do it, who now has to linger as a ghost for the next production....while that kind of grim humor might be gb appropriate it's evident zeke's fine, but like, if you're a ghost, or if you're alive, don't hit anyone in the head with the intent to knock them out and Only knock them out, life advice

and yeah in the book he introduces himself as brian colson the first time and the musical goes with that too, though can't know if it's In Dialogue anywhere lol given that he introduces himself first name only. and as from indiana, which is also in the book, and it's again very fun ambiguity like yeah maybe he Is from there, and/or maybe he's just like, naming some adjacent state to explain where he Ostensibly moved from so as to just now be showing up. brooke putting him through a steamed hams routine like wwhat region. uhhpstate indiana. well i'm from gary & i've never heard anyone use the expression "[paint] stained hands"

#these are the important answers too lol. i mean i know they're not but given that i Have the answers i have to say them lmfao #you know how it is #goosebumps the musical #emile ''tries to impress the Real Danger of using this trapdoor & in doing so ensures they eventually do so again'' lastname #never scooby doo villain it....never try to Embody the mortal danger....#creating a haunting but the actual ghost is just Also bothered by it. not that brian was liable to do anything on his own #if the play just Was canceled a second time like ughhh 70+ yrs later w/the next next generation ms. walker. here we go again #thanks for hanging out being game for the whodunit investigation to brian who otherwise would probably just be like ''aw man''#great news: you've happened to befriend the couple kids most likely to do that kind of thing #and who happened to Want to be cast as the leads; succeed in doing so; want to check out the trapdoor; succeed in doing so;#be targeted by a faux phantom for intimidation & eventual framing; reinvestigate the beyond suspicious guy about it thanks again brian....#lots going on at once & very funny to be pretty much the most mundane grounded rando involved while also thee actual ghost

hey so mystery incorporated fucks actually and i have no idea why i didn’t watch this as it was airing? my best guess is i was just so fucking jaded by the turn the straight to home movies took that i went “wow actually fuck scooby doo”.

#i watched a lot of what's new scooby doo because i find like #the general formula of scooby doo very fun #but i will admit that the turn the films took really bummed me out #those first three were so fucking good and then cyberchase happened #and then everything after that was like 'why not what's new scooby doo for 90s minutes?'#i have scooby doo thoughts and opinions

Adore seeing Some Bullshit & knowing exactly who to go to to complain about it cathartically

#in this specific instance it is that new scooby-adjacent show #listen the only person on this earth who deserves to make a scooby doo show without any regard for whether or not it's good #is my beloved sister who has a whole ass riverdale/CW style show outlined & honestly deserves to get a chance to showrun that #which of course means that I can go to her for instant bitching about a show that as far as I can tell is like #actively hostile to fans of scooby doo in general & almost feels intentionally insultingly bad.#like it straight up feels like it's actively sabotaging the concepts of scooby content marketed for adults & racebending the mystery gang #& I genuinely adore that I can see this & go 'you know who else will know this as Fucking Bullshit & want to talk about it? R—'

Me trying to figure out how long it took to make Scooby Goes Hollywood for maximum emotional impact and getting nothing from Google

Do we think it took longer than three months

#aaaagghhh #blah #because like OKAY. i would just like to know if goes hollywood is a post scrappy or a pre scrappy invention #because like it was aired pretty much 3 months after the introduction of scrappy in sept 1979. and it was the first time scooby had done #anything remotely like it. its less than an hour long. but the level of care and quality put into it is WELL beyond the level of any scooby #before it (or after it until the mid 90s tbh)#it had original (ish) music. it had around 10 different parodies of popular media. it had the most successful scooby metanarrative pretty #pretty much ever. it feels like a goodbye. and in a way it very much is.#and im just curious how much the introduction of scrappy and sd's dire situation played a role in the shaping of this film.#because like do we think this was a film concieved as a farewell to scooby as a continually producing franchise? do we think its one to #mark the end of the classic era and welcome the scooby to come after? like what is the INTENTION behind it and how was the message altered?#THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO KNOW.#because like scooby really was the only hanna barbera to survive continually. shows like yogi and the flintstones the jetsons etc had their #two three seasons and then were keot alive culturally through reruns and saturday morning cartoons with a special released maybe once a #decade. and something something my generation and down really started becoming the death of that.#like with my age group it isnt as bad just bc we did watch cable as (young) kids there were just lots of options so less ppl were watching #stuff like that but ESPECIALLY once you get into streaming so many of those classic shows are not going to be as relevant EXCEPT for scooby #as it had the advantage of also producing new content at the same time as the reruns of old shows and movies. but that really is sometjing #so essential to an understanding of scooby in my opinion. its that folding of all these different versions of these characters from dozens #of sources into one picture. you cant just click a series and watch all of whats new or sdmi and get it. seeing things from all eras random #ly and folding it into your image of scooby as a whole is something SO essential to the experience the way i lived it and its one i feel is #hurting in the streaming era. anyways that got super off topic uh buy old compilation dvds from 2007 and wb or cn or hbo or whoever owns #scooby now online let me compile themed groups of eps and movies from all different eras #there should be a winter scooby themed group with stuff from way all thru be cool (and guess if applicable) amen good night #im so surprised i didnt run out of tags there wtf

question: who is your favourite scooby doo character and why?

in a similar vein to my how did you get into scooby doo post from last month, i'm now interested in hearing who your favourite character from the franchise is! are they a member of the core gang or a side character? which iteration/version of theirs do you like best? do you have any specific memories associated with them? do they mean a lot to you personally, or do you just think they're neat? it's time to gush about them in the tags/replies!!

#if you don't know me: hi i'm nem and when the scooby doo hyperfixation beam hit me back in 2021 i was cursed to forever think about #fred jones more than everyone else on the planet combined #i just think the evolution of his character is so fascinating #especially in the way that they made him more engaging by just exaggerating his core traits a whole bunch over time #my favourite iterations of his are mystery inc (for the canon autism and generally how emotionally affecting he is)#and what's new (for just how plain silly and sweet he is)#however now that i've seen the whole show be cool's version of fred is now a firm favourite as well (his focus episodes are amazing!!!)#there's just so much that can be done with him and there's never a dull moment when he gets quality screentime in an episode or movie #he makes me laugh he makes me cry and through relating so much to his character he essentially tricked me into loving myself #i grew up with undiagnosed autism and struggled with self-hatred for things like my intense interests/social struggles/hyperempathy #things that i now know are just. fundamental parts of me and the way my brain is #so seeing fred be his unapologetic autistic self (canon in mystery inc/coded in everything else) made me feel less alone & gave me hope #which eventually led me to seek out & obtain my formal diagnosis at 17 and generally just feel so much more secure in who i am #so yeah!!!! this silly goofy cartoon character means a whole lot to me and i'm glad to have a place to express that :)#i look forward to seeing everyone's responses to this question!!!#scooby doo

Jack Spicer meets Shaggy and Scooby

I love craiyon, really.

Both pics are hilarious to me. Let me share with you the results of my imagination.

In the first picture, we can see Shaggy, in distress. Two strangers are wolfing down the sandwich Shaggy had prepared for himself and his best buddy. He tries to reason with them, but to no effect. Finally Shaggy decides to seek help from his other friend, Fred. He gestures at the half-eaten sandwich on a messy plate and then, yells:

"Fred! A goth boy and a ninja are stealing our food!

Turns out, Jack Spicer and Tubbimura were very hungry. Little did they know Shaggy is ready to unleash 15% of his power if they refuse to say sorry for massacring a very nutritious meal for a GOD.

On the other hand, the second picture is just jack smiling creepily at Scoob. Scooby is wearing a topper, making him look elegant. The truth is, Jack wanted to look smart too and is ready to steal from the doggo. Scooby is confused and says something. Jack freaks out and bounces so high, Velma has to catch him. 'A talking dog!?' - he exclaims. However, when the fear ceases, Jack and Scooby have a nice chat!

#craiyon #ai generated #jack spicer #shaggy #scooby doo #shaggy and scooby #hope you like these two silly stories I came up with #tubbimura #let's say jack built a machine that can cross dimensions or something and they are now stuck in Scooby-Doo cartoon #oh and if Tubbi took Muffin-face with him Scooby would immediately treat Muffinface like a friend #that would be cool if Muffinface started talking in this new world haha #tubbi would be on cloud nine!

Jealous! Jing Yuan in Penacony "It's Me You and Lightning Wielding Thunder Clapping Spirit Squashing Lord" Yandere!Jing Yuan x Soft!Reader

"Jing Yuan are you jealous?" Incredulous and teasing in his darlings tone. Jing Yuan was the premier bachelor on the loufu hands down but here on Penacony with so many men competing for his darling's attention…

“so, what if I’m how will you make it up to me?" his voice coaxed as he eased his darling into submission trapping them against the lush couches of the bedroom.

"Already? "his new spouse teased as his darling played with the locks of his white hair teasingly.

"I deserve it being a good boy while in the span of checking in, you flirted with four men." pointed out jealous Yandere! Jing Yuan sourly

"I want nobody but you. I choose you always and forever" murmured his spouse playing with his tie and slipping it off and straddling him her arms around linked behind his neck.

"Be glad I have such endless patience as I wanted to introduce them to lighting lord," he growled playfully as he squeezed his darling settled secure in his arms.

"Oh and how will you smash them with lightning Wielding Thunder Clapping Spirit Squashing Lord ?" amusement coloring his spouse's tone with a light laugh at the ridiculous name.

"Until nothing is left but me to choose" Yandere! Jing Yuan's voice said going lower undeterred though his cheeks colored at the mention of the childish name given to his most impressive weapon.

"Fool like I would choose anyone else. That’s not necessary and you know it." softly eyes crinkled in a sweet smile as she tipped her head to kiss him their face brushed by the long white locks of their husband.

"They might think otherwise they were looking at you hungrily they barely concealed how they wanted you"

Honey you might be projecting and only you have me. giggled his darling as she kissed his nose playfully to calm him down only to be pulled in claiming kiss with bruising lips.

"Dear, you signed up for this so suffer the consequences…. I have endless patience to undo you all night long my dear as punishment" hhis golden eyes lit up as he licked his lip wolfishly with a smirk at their blushing face. Jing Yuan picked them up and threw them on the bed before descending on his darling.

Life in Miniature (One)

Part of: Steve Deserves Good Parents, Actually Debbie and Fester Addams One | Two | Three Rick and Evelyn O'Connell One | Two Harley Quinn One 10th Doctor and Rose One | Two (on the way!) Scooby Gang (there are plans for this one lmao, so plz be patient with me orz) Jedediah and Octavius (from Night at the Museum) One (you're here!)

There will be more Jedtavius in the next parts I promise, I just thought this would be a funner introduction to the AU lmao

I just love those little guy dudes from the museum so much hfjdks and now we get two pairs of them

Also, fun fact, I took Steve's Roman name from, like, an actual king of Rome. The actual sixth king. He seemed like a chill dude.

Anyway, there's a meme at the end and as always, if you see any typos, no you didn't ;)

---------

When Robin took this job as a night guard, she didn't think the previous guard's words about history coming to life at night was, you know, real. She thought it was a joke, a predictable and corny joke, but a joke nonetheless.

But now, after being chased by a T-Rex, getting saved by Theodore Roosevelt, and almost being taken captive by fucking Attila the Hun, Robin thinks this job definitely isn't worth $16.50 an hour. Then again, this is the best paying job she's had in a while, and she was living a nocturnal life anyway.

Robin groans, leaning against a wall in the diorama exhibit, and slides down to the floor. She lets her head fall back against the wall, her eyes slipping shut as she slides. "This is crazy. This is insane. I need to find a fucking weapon or something," she mutters.

"Pardon me," comes a voice close to her head, "but might you be the goddess Diana?"

As pick-up lines go, it's not the worst one she's heard. And, based on what she knows of Greek and Roman deities, it wouldn't be too far off. Still, she does not want to be hit on by whatever weird historical thing is trying to flirt with her.

Robin takes a deep breath, opens her eyes, and says, "Do I look like a goddess to you?"

She looks to her left where the voice came from, blinking when her gaze falls on a figurine that would barely reach her ankle. He's dressed in a toga with a chest plate, wrist guards, a sword on his waist, and a deep purple cape over his shoulders. His hair is, honestly, the most impressive thing Robin has ever seen, made only more impressive by the golden laurels resting perfectly against his temples.

He's looking at her with wide eyes, more awed than anything else. "Yes," he says. "I have heard the gods are larger than life."

Okay. Fair.

"Why Diana, man?" Robin asks.

He tilts his head, studying her for a moment, looking her up and down. "You give me the same feeling as statues of Noble Diana with her Huntresses," he explains, pausing for a moment before adding, "A feeling of kinship, perhaps?"

Oh. This...this is like ancient Roman gaydar, right? Robin snorts and turns, resting her elbow on her knee. "I'm definitely not Diana. My name is Robin. I'm the new night guard."

His eyes brighten some, his smile growing wider and certainly charming enough to make the hearts of a few girls and guys flutter. "I am Servius Tullius, Sixth King of Rome, son of Vulcan, weapons master of the gods, and adopted son of Jedediah, Cowboy King of the Wild West, and Octavius, general of the Roman army."

Robin nods, letting all of the those words process in her head before saying, "Mind if I call you Steve? You look like a Steve."

The Sixth King of Rome blinks, looking slightly confused before his eyes light up with understanding. "Ah! A nickname! Yes, I am familiar with this concept. You may call me Steve, Lady Robin, as a show of our newfound friendship."

"Yeah, don't call me Lady Robin. Just Robin is fine," she says, hesitating before offering her hand to Steve.

"As you wish, Just Robin," he says, stepping carefully onto her hand and remaining steady as she raises him higher.

Robin blinks, frowning slightly and about to correct him again when she sees his smile and realizes it's a joke. "Okay, very funny, dingus," she says, carefully poking his side.

"Is dingus another nickname? It sounds like an insult."

"It usually is, but it's affectionate when I say it."

"Oh! Yes, like when Ockie calls Jed a philistine."

"Uh, sure," Robin says, nodding once as she lets Steve move to stand on her shoulder. He quickly sits, holding onto the collar of her jacket as she carefully stands up. "Hey, you know what I'm supposed to do about the dinosaur bones?"

"Rexy? Yes, he enjoys a game of fetch."

"Fetch. Of course."

----------

"What's going on in that head of yours, little man?"

Steve blinks, looks over at Jedediah, and raises an eyebrow at him. "I'm taller than you," he says, gesturing to the good inch he has on Jedediah.

"As long as you're my son, you're a little man."

Doing his best to not laugh, Steve nods once and points to the new diorama set up in the middle of the room. It's a circular diorama, centered on an equally circular stage divided into sections. A cacophony of noise echoes from it, clashing as each slice of the stage fights for dominance. "I'm trying to figure out what in Jupiter's name they're doing over there," he says.

"Well, most of it sounds like music," Jedediah says, "I think."

"It's not any music I've heard before," Octavius says, coming to a stop next to Jedediah and frowning at the diorama. "I would have assumed it the unholy shrieking of the damned."

"Perhaps it would be nicer if they weren't all playing at once," Steve suggests, hands on his hips as he tilts his head.

"Oh, boy, there it is," Jedediah says, his grin audible in his tone. "He's got the King Face."

"What are your intentions, my boy?" Octavius asks.

Before Steve can answer, Robin strolls into the room, grinning when she sees the raving diorama in the middle. She walks over to Steve, Jedediah, and Octavius, crouches down, and says, "Hey, guys. I see you're checking out the History of Rock display."

"History of Rock?" Steve asks.

"What in the sweet hell do rocks have to do with that mess?" Jedediah asks, gesturing to the noisy stage.

Robin rolls her eyes. "No, like, rock music. It's a genre. Anyway, it was sponsored by some musician, so it's a permanent display now."

"And they will be...playing every night?" Octavius asks.

"Probably."

Steve frowns a little more and nods, rolling his shoulders back. "If they are a permanent fixture in our hallowed hall, they must be welcomed. As Sixth King of Rome, this duty falls upon my shoulders. Fathers, I shall return shortly."

"Woah, woah, hold your horses there, little man," Jedediah says, moving to stand in front of Steve. "You're not going anywhere near that snake pit without some back up."

"A few centurions, at least," Octavius agrees.

"I will have Robin. What better protection is there?"

Jedediah and Octavius glance at each other before looking at Robin. She grins and offers them a two finger salute. "I'll guard him with my life," she says, "It's literally my job."

With that reassurance, Jedediah and Octavius move out of the way. Steve steps onto Robin's hand and settles on her shoulder with practiced ease, ignoring the nervous flutter in his stomach at greeting the new museum residents. He hopes they'll get along, but he also knows the might of his Roman army and the railroad workers can crush any who stand in their way.

Robin stops next to the diorama, tilting her head as she studies it. This close, Steve can see the bands playing on each slice of stage, the instruments and fashion shifting as his gaze travels around it. "Uh, excuse me," Robin says, raising her voice.

The raucous noise from the diorama screeches to a halt, the feedback making Robin and Steve grimace slightly. "Uh, hi. We're the official welcome crew for the Hall of Miniatures here. So, I'll need someone to represent your, like, whole display," Robin says, glancing over the bands until she finds one she recognizes. "Okay, I know you guys, so I'll be designating you the spokesband. Now, could the lead singer step forward?"

Steve watches as someone on the "Corroded Coffin" (what an odd name for a band) slice of the stage steps forward. Robin offers her hand to them, carefully lifting it away once they step on. "Great, uh, carry on, I guess. But, like, maybe play some of your quieter stuff for a bit," she says, her words barely out before the music starts up and the crowds start screaming once more.

She sighs and just walks over to the bench, letting off the person on her hand before letting Steve slide down her arm in a move they spent nearly three weeks practicing if only because they knew it would look cool.

When he hops onto the bench, Steve walks up to the other miniature, a man his age with long hair and odd clothes with tears that Robin once said were fashionable. His instrument is still slung over his shoulders, resting casually against his hips much like Steve's sword. Steve suddenly finds himself thinking that the man looks a little like a warrior. An odd one, to be sure, but a handsome one nonetheless.

He flashes his most charming smile, lets his shoulders relax, and says, "My friend here is Robin, Guardian of Brooklyn. I am Servius Tullius, Sixth King of Rome, son of Vulcan, weapons master of the gods, and adopted son of Jedediah, Cowboy King of the Wild West, and Octavius, general of the Roman army. You, however, may call me Steve."

As far as Eddie was concerned, nothing mattered so long as Corroded Coffin got to keep rocking in an endless concert. The energy never waned, the set list never grew boring, and the music never stopped. He was ready to inform this welcoming crew of just that and promise Hell on Earth if they tried to disrupt the music (angry concert goers are a force of nature), when the words just died in his throat.

Because the most gorgeous man he's ever seen slides down that giant lady's arm, easily and smoothly landing on the bench. Somehow, his hair is perfectly windswept, the golden laurels glinting in the lights above them. His purple cape flutters softly as he walks closer, his toned thighs on full display with the toga hem that falls to the middle of them. There's a sword on the guy's hip, a chest plate that Eddie wants to pull off, a smile he wants to taste, and a pair of freckles right next to each other on the guy's cheek he wants to drag his tongue across.

He misses most of the introduction because he's too busy staring. He gets the important bits, though: Robin, a king, son of a god, adopted son of two dads. Eddie licks his lips nervously, a grin of his own tugging at his lips as he steps forward and playfully bows. "It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty," he says.

It's supposed to come out joking, a little poke at the guy's authority to see if he can be riled up. It actually comes out way too genuine, and Eddie has a sudden realization that he meant it. He absolutely will accept this guy as his king, actually. He'll fall to his knees before him right now if asked, and not just because it might give him a little peek under the dude's toga.

"Please, just call me Steve. There's no need to be so formal."

Eddie bites the inside of his cheek, hoping Steve doesn't realize that the things Eddie is thinking about (the things he wants to do to and with Steve) are just about the least formal things on this earth. "Good to know," he says, relieved his voice sounds normal as he stands up straight and offers his hand. "Name's Eddie Munson, uh, lead singer of Corroded Coffin."

Steve blinks, and his smile becomes a bit more genuine as he steps closer and clasps Eddie's forearm. "A fellow leader," he says, squeezing Eddie's arm. "Welcome to our museum."

"Y-yeah," Eddie says, his arm still tingling when Steve lets go. He clears his throat, idly tugging on a few strands of hair. "So, uh, what's the deal around here? I mean, giant women...Roman kings...cowboys, it looks like."

"Our noble museum is home to Pharoah Ahkmenrah and his tablet, which brings the exhibits to life each night," Steve explains.

"There's a few rules, though," Robin says, sitting down on the bench behind Steve. "One, no getting into fights. Two, be back in your display by sunrise. Three, no leaving the museum at night."

"What? Why not?"

"We have lost good exhibits to Sol Invictus's morning rays," Steve says, frowning slightly. "So, be careful."

Eddie stares at Steve with wide eyes as he nods, amazed at the fact that Steve seems to talk like that so genuinely. And the fact that Eddie is...kinda into it. Holy shit, that's not helping with Eddie's whole "fall to his knees" thing. He wouldn't mind some good old-fashioned worship if Steve would just smile at him again.

Maybe his prayers are heard, because Steve smiles at him again. "Wonderful," he says. "Now, Eddie, could I interest you in a tour of the museum tonight?"

"Oh, you could interest me in a lot of things, sweetheart," Eddie blurts out, his mouth running faster than his brain.

He snaps his jaw shut, relieved and horrified at Steve's slightly confused expression and Robin's "I know what you are" thousand-yard stare from over his shoulder. Before he can try to backtrack, Steve snaps, understanding in his eyes. "Ah! Sweetheart is a nickname, yes? I accept your offer of friendship."

Eddie clenches his jaw, stopping himself from saying that it's more than friendships he's offering, and smiles. "Yeah. A nickname. That's all. I'm just...a nickname kinda guy. I'll probably think of more, too, Stevie. Like that."

Steve practically beams, and Eddie feels his knees go weak. "I look forward to it," he says, turning on his heel to look at Robin, who thankfully schools her expression. "Robin, this is where we leave you for the night. You have my word that Eddie will be back in place before sunrise."

"Well, you two kids have fun," she says, grinning in a way that immediately puts Eddie on edge. "I'd better not hear about any funny business, though. Absolutely no bases should be reached tonight, and you'd better not do any conquering or pillaging."

She definitely looks at Eddie when she says that last bit. Eddie stiffens, doing his best to hold back a blush when Steve glances over at his, the confusion clear on his face. "Conquering requires more planning than this, Robin. I've told you before."

"Don't worry about it, dingus. Just have fun. Here, I'll even call a ride for you," she says, winking at them before turning, holding her fingers to her mouth, and whistling sharply.

Steve walks over to Eddie right as the ground starts to shake, easily catching him around the waist before he can lose his balance. "The shaking does take some getting used to," he says, his tone full of sympathy and obliviousness to the crisis Eddie is experiencing.

When his brain finally catches up enough to ask what he's talking about, a dinosaur skeleton slides into the room, its body wiggling excitedly as it growls. Eddie jerks back, the arm around his waist tightening some. "What the fuck?!" he shouts.

"Worry not," Steve says, leaning closer. His voice is a little softer now, his breath fanning over Eddie's ear. "This is Rexy, our steed for the evening. He's very friendly."

"Friendly," Eddie mumbles, letting himself be dragged over to Rexy and placed on the dinosaur's head by Robin. "The dinosaur is friendly."

"Many of the exhibits are," Steve tells him, grinning brightly as Rexy begins moving after a pet on the snout from Robin.

Eddie looks at him, feeling blinded by Steve's smile once more, and completely forgets about the living dinosaur skeleton.
