Is It Really That Bad?

Women leading superhero films has a long and troubled history even before losers online decided to make it their life’s mission to bully Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson for the crime of being in a mediocre MCU movie. 2004’s Catwoman is the film that is usually pointed to as the movie that poisoned the well in regards to superheroine blockbusters, but it takes two to tango; the following year’s Elektra is just as much to blame for the negative perception of these sorts of films.

And how could it not be? It was rushed into production, Jennifer Garner really didn’t want to do it but was contractually obligated, it was supposed to be rated R until more contractual obligations nipped that idea in the bud, and on top of everything else it was a sequel/spin-off to a movie that was already extremely unpopular (Daredevil vindication was a long way’s off at that point). With all that in mind, is it any wonder that it’s one of the lowest grossing films to ever be based off of a Marvel comic? The only films that did worse were Punisher: War Zone, Man-Thing, and The New Mutants. Even the Howard the Duck movie did better than this shit!

The career of director Rob Bowman as tanked because of this film, with his credits being relegated to TV. Garner, meanwhile, fared just as poorly, with her career cooling off and leading roles not being a thing for her after that point. But worst of all is the career of the poor boat house in this movie, as it ended up appearing in Fifty Shades of Grey. And obviously this film dragged down the idea of a woman headlining a superhero flick for about a decade until Genocide Barbie Gal Gadot stepped into Wonder Woman’s boots. And while Catwoman would receive better adaptations on the big screen, Elektra would get no such chance…

...Until it was revealed that Garner was reprising her role in, of all things, Deadpool & Wolverine.

While the film isn’t out as of the time of this review, the announcement of her presence in it really got me intrigued about the last time she donned the red ninja outfit. I’m a huge apologist for early to mid-2000s superhero garbage, so it only made sense to check it out in preparation for the massive Marvel crossover Deadpool was about to deliver. And you know what question I always ask when going in to an infamous film like this: Is it really that bad?

THE GOOD

This film is just hilariously corny when it wants to be. I think when it does stupid stuff other superhero films of the time did, it tends to do them at least a little better. For instance, like Ghost Rider it has a quirky miniboss squad full of boring flat characters who exist for Elektra to kill. But while the ones in Ghost Rider are completely forgettable and bland, this film at least has some striking visuals with Tattoo and hot forceful lesbian murder smooching with Typhoid Mary, something I’m sure awoke things in the five people who watched this.

Garner herself is really, really trying, and to her credit most of the action scenes she’s in are pretty ok when they aren’t being edited to death. As I watched the unrated version, the brief glimpses of insight into her backstory are nice, and I do love that bright red costume on her. If nothing else, she does sell how cool Elektra is supposed to be with how she carries herself, even if the writing isn’t doing her many favors.

The final act is where things really get fun, because we have a big stupid battle against magical tattoos, teleporting ninjas, and genuinely the funniest possible way to kill a villain ever. I legitimately burst out laughing when I saw this:

youtube

THE BAD

Unfortunately, no matter how funny Typhoid Mary taking a knife to the forehead after saying her only two lines in the movie, two lines that actually give her more character than every other villain in the film, it can’t really completely save the film from its two massive, crippling issues.

Literally everyone in this movie is a fucking moron. The biggest moron is easily Elektra’s buddy, who sacrifices himself so Elektra can escape from the bad guys… but his sacrifice is pointless because they pull the info from his mind with psyhcic powers. He would’ve been better off running away with them! But it’s not like the villains are much smarter; one of them chops down a tree, and then almost immediately forgets this and walks into its path before getting crushed to death. It is genuinely absurd how dumb these characters manage to get. The dumbest of them all, however, has to be Stick. I genuinely have no idea what the fuck this man is trying to accomplish at any point, because he is recklessly gambling with people’s lives here.

But hey, dumb decisions are fine in a trashy 2000s superhero movie as long as they lead to some enjoyably dumb scenarios, right? Well, about that… Barring a couple of ridiculously goofy action scenes, this film is pretty bereft of memorable corniness. Remember how I said the minibosses in Ghost Rider were not as good as the ones here? Sure, maybe it’s true, but no amount of murderous lesbian smooching makes this movie more memorable than Ghost Rider, which features over a dozen insane Nicolas Cage moments. But maybe that’s cheating, it’s not fair to compare a Jennifer Garner vehicle to a Nicolas Cage one… so how about Catwoman? As absolutely shoddy as that movie is, there are a bunch of cringey, campy scenes that have helped earn the movie at least a handful of ironic fans. There’s just nothing like that in Elektra. It’s trashy and stupid in safe, unimpressive ways for the most part, and it doesn’t do anything at all to really stand out from the crowd.

IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?

Yeah, I guess it’s bad, but the level of bad that it is is greatly exaggerated.

The movie I’d most compare this to is, of all things, Morbius. I love Morbius more than most people, and even I’m willing to admit it’s multiple bright spots of trashy charm are interspersed with the dullest shit imaginable, and Elektra has a similar issue. It’s just so goddamn unmemorable and dull for the most part, with only the final act being packed full of silly nonsense to latch onto. But even that comparison isn’t great, because Milo was sprinkled throughout Morbius and was genuinely hilarious the whole way through, while Elektra just plods along until it remembers to actually be a little cool for the finale.

I guess really the film is less “bad” and more “not good.” Like if you throw this on in the background as noise while you do something else, it’s not the worst you could do, though even then something like Black Adam would probably be better. If you want to watch a trashy 2000s superhero film, I guess it’s not unwatachably unpleasant, but why wouldn’t you watch Catwoman or Ghost Rider instead? It just is in such an unenviable position where it’s the bottom of the bottom of the barrel, the least engaging super-schlock ever made, a movie not good enough to be vindicated but not bad enough to deserve the hate it gets. Elektra is just a film that exists. That’s all there is to it and aside from the single funny death, I have no strong feelings about this movie. I think a solid 4 is where this belongs. Not good enough to be average, not bad enough to be awful, it’s just there.

All this being said, I’m honestly very excited to see Garner become a teleporting ninja assassin again. Every comic character who was in a crappy adaptation deserves a second shot, be it as a new character (Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger) or as a reprisal that improves on the untapped potential that was there (Jamie Foxx’s Electro in No Way Home). I’m rooting for Garner to get her due, and for Electra to get the respect she truly deserves… But I just don’t really think this movie’s going to be getting a reappraisal no matter how good she ends up doing.

My Takes on Depicting Humanformers(art included!!) part 1:

You might not agree with me, this is just a collection of how I like doing things with characters, starting from where I'm most confident with the TFP lineup of Autobots.

The format goes 1) what is worn 2) what could be on their person at any given moment and 3) how they sleep, which would help determine how much they would be seen in the common areas at home base.

Optimus:

Trucker look (wears a lot of comfy layers, work boots, and trucker caps—this is a man who has been behind the wheel for days at a time to get places)

Has a collection of thermoses and coffee tumblers (my favorite of which to throw in being one that's shaped like a red crayon) and guns. It's anyone's guess which combo it is that day.

Can sleep on command, but needs to get comfortable first (it's something he learned with how often he started sleeping at truck stops or in Wal-Mart parking lots in his cab) but he doesn't overuse this ability of his. He also snores, avoid sleeping near him.

(two looks because of my AU where Orion is given his body back after basically being a ghost that wants to bitch-slap Optimus out of his body, and we will address Orion in a separate part.)

Ratchet:

Wears scrubs with flannels and lab coats layered over them and like...crocs or slides of some sort over patterned or fun socks. (PNW doctor, I guess?)

Has A Mug. Must be this One Particular Mug.(he's stubborn about his favorite mug) Because it can fit half the pot of coffee in it with a Redbull and is not overflowed. (My version is a gift from Wheeljack as an apology for smashing something and says "Doctors Have Got It Going On" in Barbie font. Miko helped pick it out.) He also has a baseball bat that he takes with him out of base.

Does not sleep unless his body decides to shut down or he's cuffed to the bed somehow. He's pretty much Pavlov'd himself for the cuff thing though, which is funny in a different way. Sleeps probably the quietest.

Bulkhead:

This big guy has basically a lot of t-shirts, battered jeans, work boots, and jean jackets(without the sleeves). Bandanas go with each outfit. He looks like a construction worker who finally retired and decided to go clubbing.

Is the most likely to have a random tool of destruction on him—but never outright weapons. Crowbars, hammers, etc. and it seems like he pulls them out of only Primus knows where. Other than that, he is often seen holding drumsticks(he can lay down a beat so well) or maybe art supplies.

Likes napping. A lot. But will also stay up randomly to do something or go somewhere. He snores, but nowhere near as loud as Optimus does.

Arcee:

Function over fashion. Men's jeans, combat-issue boots with steel toes, thicker shirts, and jackets. (However, this does not mean that she hasn't bedazzled her clothes to some capacity. She has painted, ironed-on, stitched, and accessorized enough that she is still feminine.)

She has knives on her. You tell her to put all her weapons on a table and you'll be standing there for about fifteen minutes as she pulls them out of places that are increasingly less obvious and more disturbing to know about. She also carries a book checked out from the library or bought with her for when she waits for Jack to get off work.

The only one with a completely normal sleeping schedule. She sleeps the best and is always the first up to make coffee. Comes from still obeying the schedule she adhered to prior to the war in my AU when she was a gladiator.

Bumblebee:

This one is a tossup with me. He'll wear anything comfortable that makes no noise when he walks. Anything. He's shown up to battle in a unicorn onesie and kicked mad Decepticon butt. However, he does gravitate to band shirts and shorts.

He has fidgets. Endless fidgets. Some are also weapons, but...this boy is a little hyperactive and would like it to not put him in jeopardy. He shares with Miko and Smokescreen sometimes.

He is an insomniac. He stays up late, enjoying the quiet working or gaming time staying up grants him. But he's an insomniac for a more depressing reason in my AU.

Wheeljack:

Comfy combat wear. Often wears crop tops too, when casual. This man has not an ounce of shame in his body. He looks like a slut a lot, but a functional one who can deliver an ass-whooping quickly.

We've already seen him and his bombs and swords. But also, he keeps little things to tinker with on him too.

He sleeps when he's certain he's safe. He'll lounge and pretend all day to convince people, but he doesn't quite sleep.

Cliffjumper:

It's giving rodeo, or at least someone who goes to watch. He wears jeans, he wears t-shirts, maybe flannel shirts, chaps are a maybe, and cowboy boots. He might also have a septum piercing shaped like bull horns.

He keeps a case of beers in his car, but doesn't usually drink. On his person, he keeps a long, sturdy rope for wrangling things(sticking with cowboy aesthetic) and a small sketchbook.

He sleeps whenever, honestly. He's carefree, and that leads to him sleeping easily. It's like playing roulette when you're trying to talk to him and he's randomly asleep.

Smokescreen:

This boy prefers to wear things as close to Cybertronian traditional clothing as he can find. Poor guy was thrown for a loop when Ratchet took him to get clothes at the store. Ends up wearing a lot of loose sweatpants and tank tops with flipflops.

He keeps a notepad on him for comfort sake and you can usually ask him for a pen and he will offer you seven different types. He prefers tasers as weapons.

Can't sleep without ambience that feels like the archives during the night. Optimus ends up fixing the problem by setting up a dinged-up fan in Smokescreen's area(the dings in the blades are what make it sound like the archives).

Ultra Magnus:

Insistent on using a uniform of some kind. The army ended up dyeing one so it wasn't one they could mistake for their own. Ultra Magnus had to make his own patches, they were hesitant on issuing any.

The one most likely to have anything needed on him. He is like your token mom friend, except more like he has a stick up his aft that makes him insistent on controlling things.

He sleeps like he is laying in a coffin. I hate him for it.

Tailgate (he's only mentioned briefly, but I know how he looks):

Little man wears cargo shorts with a big hoodie and sneakers. He's like...maybe Miko's height, he is so small as a "humanformer". He tends to wear visors and masks too, with a beanie of some sort and fingerless gloves. He also wears knee pads and elbow pads(he has a skateboard sort of thing)

He has a gameboy in his pocket with a pocket knife and fidgets and just a bit of everything. Knickknacks are his favorite, little ones, and hot wheel cars.

He sleeps in the weirdest places and positions. It's like a magical ability to fall asleep anywhere.

Some Cyberpunk NPC Fashion Headcanons: Misty, Judy, and Panam

Okay, so this has been burning in the back of my brain for five thousand years- as an unfashionable fatass loser who loves the idea of clothes and style in theory, I project this love onto fictional characters. Mostly my oc, but also canon characters. So, of course in game characters wear one outfit but I've developed kind of my own idea of what their style would be based both off those canon outfits and the vibes I get~

If you disagree, that's your business- but I'm having fun with the barbie dolls rn.

Misty- Cozy quirky goth gf

dresses in quirky goth fashion or like a victorian ghost, no in between

eclectic as fuck

cozy sweaters are always a favorite though

dresses with peter pan collars, i have no explanation, i just feel it

those kitschy chunky earrings that are like little raisin boxes or like weird clown babydolls

general kitsch touches, she likes things a little weird, keeps life interesting

**crystals~**

definitely has a purse or bag with thousand of weird little pins and keychains- she sees the value of minimalism but she just loves weird cute little things

fishnets and different patterned tights

weird chunky boots

Examples:

Judy- Punk contrast techie

shorts and overalls obviously, always with a strap undone for the aesthetic~

idk why but i just get the vibe she loves asymmetry- one shoulder, asymmetrical cut out, fuck yeah

and like contrasting patterns and stuff, like shorts and pants with mismatching legs

i see her in bright plaid punk pants, it just fits the vibe, don't ask me why

crop tops more often than not- likes showing off her tattoos

bushido merch

not a big jewelry gal but she likes a fun belt

has to have pockets- do not get her on the topic of non-functional pockets

feel like she probably has tattooed on eyeliner, not her full eyeliner look is tattooed- but like a base layer of it is

has band merch shirts and clothes too for sure, she's passionate about her interests and will wear them with pride

Examples:

Panam- Nomad tomboy gremlin

fashion isn't exactly a huge priority in the nomad world, but Panam still has her taste- notably her love of bodysuits

also does love the off the shoulder look- but finding bras that work with it and her tits is the bane of her existence

Bras are generally the bane of her existence- you wanna hear a rant ask this woman about having the underwire snap in her last good bra and stabbing her in the tit when she's 4 hours into a 12 hour drive and miles away from civilization

cargo pants, torn jeans, and ratty shorts

so many of her clothes are torn

tattered old crop tops and tanks

almost always has her aldecaldo jacket thrown over whatever she's wearing- even if it clashes

also not a big jewelry person, just not super practical- her and a friend in the clan tried to piece their own ears when they were kids and all they did was earn themselves some nasty infections

this girl has camo pants, idk if that's my brain associating her with 6th street from that one gig or the connection between aldecaldos and vets- this girl has camo pants

more of her clothes are stolen from other aldecaldos than she'd care to admit

Examples (ignore the jewelry in some of these):

Bonus Round:

My V (Aidan Becker)- crouching punk hidden pastel

leather jacket 9 times out of 10 (definitely stole it off a corpse)

black crop tops, stomach almost always showing

ripped pants and shorts, often with fishnets beneath

subtle hidden touches of cute stuff, like she'll take off her combat boots and have pink heart socks on beneath

skirts when she's feeling fancy or slutty

flannels for pops of colors occasionally

if she's not one arm raise away from flashing her tits- whats the point?

only wears bras if they're meant to be seen

bright blue nail polish always

teddy bear hoodie when she's home alone and vibing- very few have seen it, embarrassed by it- but it's very cozy

Examples:

#cyberpunk 2077 #cp2077 #misty olszewski #judy alvarez #panam palmer #yes including my v was incredibly self indulgent #no i dont care #don't know if i'll do the men since like kerry has dramatic punk rocker fashion johnny who has a more casual punk rock #then fucking river who probably buys though 5 packs of mens tank tops from the dollar store and calls it good #like we got two punk rockers and a quote unquote straight man in an ugly jacket so not quite as much variety to dig into #anyway it was 3 am and i was bored have my stupid thoughts

'Thousands of movie fans are planning to explore both the neon pink world of “Barbie” and the complicated mind of J. Robert Oppenheimer on the same day.

Thousands of AMC Stubs members have bought tickets for both films on the same day ahead of their premieres on July 21.

“That more than 20,000 moviegoers have already made plans and purchased tickets to see Barbie and Oppenheimer on the same day is a great sign that the growing online conversation around seeing both of these incredible films is turning into ticket sales,” Elizabeth Frank, executive VP of worldwide programming and chief content officer at AMC Theatres told Variety this week.

Though, according to Variety, how the number compares to average purchase rates is unclear.

Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" — starring Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and Emily Blunt — is a three-hour epic thriller about the American physicist and his role in developing the atomic bomb during World War II. "Barbie," directed by Greta Gerwig, is a comedy about the life of Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) in Barbie Land and their journey to the real world.

The double feature of the contrasting blockbusters has become an internet phenomenon known as, “Barbieheimer,” with fans creating their own black-and-pink memes, apparel and movie posters of the two films.

The Avon Theatre Film Center in Stamford is screening the two films starting on July 20 and pre-sale tickets are selling faster than normal, Louisa Greene, director of marketing and development for the theater, said.

"There's a lot of buzz [and] a lot of excitement from Avon patrons about both films," she said.

The Avon is hosting its own Barbie and Ken costume contest for theatergoers at its 5:20 and 7:45 p.m. "Barbie" screenings on July 20, during which attendees will enter on a mini-red carpet and present their costumes the judges. The winners from each screening will win the theater's bronze membership package: free movies for a year for two people. The theater will also have a 3 p.m. screening that day.

The venue is also partnering with the Greenwich International Film Festival for a screening of "Oppenheimer" at 7 p.m. that evening, she said.

Greene believes the two divergently different films share qualities that appeal a wide range of movie fans. Both have big-name directors and casts, she said. "Oppenheimer" is a historical drama about events that are still relevant today, while "Barbie" is a comedy that could spark nostalgia among viewers, she said.

Warner Brothers predicts that "Barbie" will see a $70 to $80 million opening at the box office, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Universal Studios is tracking around $40 million for the "Oppenheimer" debut.

Prospector Theater in Ridgefield is also hosting screenings of the two films on July 20 and it has sold most of the tickets for both events, Ren Burkardt, the theater manager, said.

"The weekend is already looking like it's picking up as well. People are very excited," she said.

The theater employees plan to decorate the lobby pink that weekend and dress up in Barbie-themed outfits, Burkardt said. KC 101 radio station will also stop by from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday to give away items, she said.

In partnership with The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, the theater will host a live virtual conversation right before the "Oppenheimer" screening with artist and director Bryan McGovern Wilson and artist and curator Richard Klein. The two will discuss Wilson's "Oppenheimer Ghost" exhibit, a replica of Oppenheimer's hat that is positioned in uranium glass, the event description says. The exhibit will be on display in the museum until Aug. 27, according to the museum.

"I just want to encourage everyone to come to the movies. The experience is completely different in person with friends and family and all the excitement of a busy lobby than anything else," Burkardt said.

National movie theater chains with venues in Connecticut also have special deals for the two movies. AMC Theatres is offering Stubs members the chance to win a Barbie-themed vacation and bonus points for those going to see "Oppenheimer." AMC has locations in Norwalk, Stamford, Trumbull, Danbury, Plainville, Southington and Lisbon, according to its website.

Cinemark is currently selling "Barbie" movie merchandise in theaters. These items can include beach ball cups, a popcorn tin and blanket, according to the theater chain's Instagram. Cinemark theaters are located in Enfield, Manchester, Milford and North Haven.'

okay guys we're going to make some important distinctions today. *aggressively hits the chalkboard with my pointing stick*

OG ghost: guy who would run over three children, four jaywalkers and ten pedestrians to not be late for Free Drinks hour at a pub. sassy. petty. a bit of a whore but every guy is one deep down. cockney accent. would look like a hypocrite if he ever tells someone to speak english because he belts out pure evident Manchester-raised slang when life inconveniences him in the smallest of ways. DIY master. his apartment isn't even an apartment it's an incomplete construction site like every object was replaced with a 5 minute crafts clickbait thumbnail replica.

REMASTERED ghost: would drink a cuppa tea in a burning house and be like "ah yes, everything is a-okay, just a normal day in England". most not-chill chill person to ever exist. he would drive in snow when it's -40c without ever turning on the window wipers. he acts like an npc who just does things so monotonously. his entire personality is mortimer goswick but on ket half the time. freaks out about the most insignificant of situations and then when a fuckin nuclear missile is launched by price he just gives up. he thinks about resigning from the army a lot. everytime something stupid/unexpected/world-changing/big/small happens he's just like "i need a raise". 21st century squidward but less nihilistic and more of depressed, "rent is rising, global warming, capitalism is destroying the the ecosystem, oh well just another day as a human being on planet earth" millennial energy.

MW19 Warzone Ghost: ??????...pry open with spite vibes. activision fucked up w warzone ghost he's just All Anger and nothing else. no pizzazz or energy. the fangirls from 2022 didn't even know he existed because he was so plain and boring because he was a cashgrab and literally nothing else. his bio didn't even give much of a backstory unlike literally every other operator in wz.

CODM Ghost: ohh boy. oh boy. well. that's another thing. so you know the animations, right, where you can make them dance and. yeah. uh. he's a whiny sniveling pathetic creature with cat ear headphones and Probably has an onlyfans. throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. cunt with the "it's my birthday every day" sash and has a pageant crown on his head. all he's missing is a tutu and some lack of dignity and then he's all set for miss universe

CODM COMICS Ghost: he puts the ho in homeless and homicidal. has a fashion designer/devoted spouse (who is also tired of his shit) bc this guy can do outfit changes faster than barbie in life in the dreamhouse. cowboy outfit?? hazmat outfit?? bro's got an outfit for everything. if you thought codm ghost was a cunt this one's Queen Cunt. eats beans straight out of the can, came out of the grave more than thrice, and back flipped off a horse at least once. he was featured in toddlers and tiaras back then so he's kinda resentful

REBOOT ghost:

My first attempt at headcannons for the guys as children.

RAPH:

Fully blown oral fixation, a soothing mechanism for insecurities. Stealing bottles and binkies from his brothers when Splinter wasn't looking.

He would mainly steal from Donnie (hence D’s leaner frame).

He targeted Donnie because Donnie’s personality made him was less likely to wail about his missing bottle and more likely to whimper in solitude. Mikey was a wailer, drama queen in the making.

So attached to his oral soothing rituals that Splinter had to resort to hiding the binkies from Raph when it became obvious that he was WAY too old to be sucking on them.

Always referred to pacifiers as his binkies (never used the word pacifier or passey).

Once his binkies were “stolen away”, he started sticking other things in his mouth instead. All his crayons, pens, and pencils would be chewed beyond recognition. He swallowed more than one toy on accident (and had to wait to get it back...ew). Eventually, moved on to more acceptable items such as lollipops and toothpicks,

What were his insecurities? Total Middle Child Syndrome...jealousy.

Being the physically ‘bigger’ brother but not the eldest, he always had to submit to Leo’s authority. Which made no sense to him. He was big enough to take care of himself.

Resentful that Splinter didn’t think he was responsible enough to watch himself when Splinter left the lair on errands.

Always thinking that Splinter favored Leo. (It wasn’t true, Leo just carried responsibility well and could be trusted to make good decisions).

Always thought if they had a Mom that he would be her favorite and not Leo.

Would often watch TV shows with strong female characters and image them as his mother. HIs favorites were Nell Carter and Roseanne Barr. He liked their Direct-No-BS-Attitudes.

Another insecurity? Not fond of the dark. Needed a light source of some sort on at all times.

Had a Gloworm Doll he slept when until he was....well....he still has it. It lays on his bed but he doesn’t sleep with it! It’s just there, you know, it is sentimental.

Still sleeps with a night light on though.

Mikey:

Was a pretty calm baby, as long as he was dry and fed. If he wasn’t, total water works!

His personality was chill; however, with four others to cater to him, he was used to getting his way. (Youngest Child Syndrome)

You had a toy he wanted, he wailed until he got it.

You were watching TV and he wanted to watch Sesame Street, he cried crocodile tears until Splinter, or Leo, made you change the channel.

Was the one who took the longest to potty train. Splinter still thinks of that lesson as his most fought after achievement as a father!

Oh, and Mikey didn’t like keeping his diapers on either....so, watch where you step!

Was that nudist child, always taking off his clothes and running au naturel all day long.

About the only article of clothing he ever put on voluntarily was his superhero cape. (What a sight! Supehero, naked kid).

Would steal Raph’s chewed up crayons and pens and draw on every surface in the lair...then blame it on Donnie. (poor Donnie...not that Splinter ever believed Mikey).

Had a major crush on Barbie. Watched all her commercials with enthusiasm. (And God FORBID if you changed the channel during a Barbie commercial!)

Had his own Barbie doll that he’d cuddle with every night. Actually, still has that Barbie, but she lost her clothes long ago.....also falsely blamed on Donnie.

Other childhood crushes include Kelly from Saved By The Bell, Ashley Banks from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Topanga from Boy Meets World (although he and Donnie often fought over her).

Well...that is until Mikey discovered Bay Watch.

Donnie

Was a very quiet, observant baby. Generally, very calm and non-demanding.

He out grew toys just as quickly as his stretching frame out grew clothes. They just didn’t keep his interest.

Learned to walk, talk, and potty train all in the same week

Splinter was grateful for the potty training skill but the talking skill brought headaches.

Donnie was that “why” kid.

Everything he saw or that was said to him, he had to ask “why”. Then, when you gave him an answer, he’d ask “why” about the answer! He wanted to know everything about everything...the kid was exhausting.

Nearly 24/7 Splinter had a lanky kid following him around asking why this and why that. Splinter was ecstatic when technology advanced enough for Donnie to research information on his own.

Well, that is until Donnie found the more...au naturel... side of the internet.

Splinter still believes Donnie was the poster child for the implementation of Parental Controls.

The only actual toy that Donnie really took to was his plush Hulk Hogan doll. Splinter thought it was cute that Donnie attached so strongly to the red bandana figure, it must of reminded Donnie of his older brother Raph.

Strange how often Donnie beat up on that doll though...like he had some pent-up aggression towards his bigger brother for some reason.

Donnie and Leo were the wrestling fans of the family. They would never miss a show. Jumping around and grappling for hours afterwards and usually breaking something in the lair to Splinter’s dismay.

Fought with Mikey over Topanga from Boy Meets World, because she was so cute AND smart, until he discovered Madame Curie (smart science women are HOT!).

Got tattled on, to Splinter, by Leo, for knowing a “Madam”.

Still to this day prints out pictures of Madame Curie photoshopped in a dominatrix outfit and posts them randomly in Leo’s room.

Leo

A very CLINGY baby.

The type that will not sleep unless you are holding him and then will wake up the moment you try to put him down.

Even in the crawling stage he would chasing Splinter to wherever he was and cling to his robe.

Cooking? Leo’s hanging on to the robe. Washing dishes? Leo’s hanging on to the robe. Meditating? Leo’s crawled into your lap. Showering? Leo’s crying outside the shower stall until you get out.

In fact, the only way Splinter taught Leo to walk was to take the sash off his robe and put it in the toddler’s hand so that Leo thought he had a hold of Splinter.

Enjoyed watching wrestling with Donnie, loved to practice the moves on Donnie so that he could be experienced enough to use them on Raph.

LOVED board games as a kid (namely Clue, Risk, and Battle Ship). Heck, who’s he kidding? He still does! Don’t ever agree to play with him, you’ll be playing for HOURS (food and sleep be damned!).

As a kid Leo grew more focused on winning his father’s approval through helping to parent this brothers.

Bonus? He got to boss them around!

When Splinter would leave the lair on errands he would leave Leo in charge, Leo it called it “Do What Leo Says” time.

More often than not, the entire time was spent with Leo and Raph arguing and the two younger brothers running amuck. Donnie surfing God knows what sites on the internet and naked Super Mikey trying to see if turtles can really fly.

Love to tell Raph that he saw monsters under their beds or ghosts in their rooms just to even the score for causing trouble when Splinter left the lair.

Feels slightly bad about that now....after all, this HUGE hulk of a brother still sleeps with a Gloworm for goodness sake!

Djhdhdjdjd ok ok so imagine this- Revivebur tries to find his darling. But darling joined Las Nevadas with fundy and is like a performer in the casino (idk what's happening currently in the lore cuz I'm so out of the loop rn but i do know that there's a casino for sure-) like they used to give like wholesome vibes but now-?

Bruh they did a whole ass glow up and they now give Jessica Rabbit vibes. And as soon as Revivebur recives word where his darling is, man practically yeeted himself into the casino, where his darling is currently all dolled up, all pretty like a newly bought Barbie doll on the stage..

(i can imagine the darling singing "Killing me softly" maybe like this? https://youtu.be/KGyTtPeP0Lw or like Kz Tandingan's version: https://youtu.be/CyPF91Qbf48

Or maybe like Jessie J's? https://youtu.be/GHyj93FGmuA

Idk i couldn't find a version that kinda gives off casino vibes id try to sing it but ehhhh ^^;;)

Basically this is the first time He hears his Darling sing, and man literally falls in love all over again. And he just simps so hard for them, and is oh so desperate to get them back, but darling is like "bitch my feelings died the moment the Wilbur I knew was gone-". (I tried to think of a more badass line but I'm tired ha-)

(Neways idk what to add more lol- i just thought of this while I was in the middle of reading an angsty Revivebur x reader ^^;;)

-🌻

the darling would absolutely take no shit from revivebur. what he did during the festival broke them and they felt as if they would never get the wilbur that they knew and love back.

when ghostbur is around, the darling allows herself to feel pity for the ghost. even though they know that ghostbur isnt their lover, theyre willing to let him believe that. at some times darling even believes that ghostbur is as close to their lover that theyll ever get so they let themselves feel like their lover.

darling joins las nevadas without telling ghostbur alongside fundy. even if fundy always acted defensive towards the darling due to how step kids can be at first, he warmed up to them really quickly. he doesnt know where hed be if they werent still besides him.

enough of that, revivebur. when darling hears that wilbur was revived, their first concern was fundy. they loved him more than they loved themself so they had to make sure he was alright. when both darling and fundy process the news, they both agree on hiding in las nevadas. it wouldnt be hard considering they already lived their, but they would definitely work on limiting their interactions with others outside of the country.

revivebur is almost immediately on the hunt for you. its been forever and his memories as ghostbur are a little foggy. he asks tommy where you are, but he doesnt know. so revivebur goes around the entire smp asking for where you are. some people (cough cough eret) would refuse to even tell him if they knew or not! its skeppy that tells where you are. not only is revivebur curious about the new country, but hes also curious as to why you're working with quackity. you and him never really got along.

its at nightime when he stumbles inside the casino and he's immediately blown away at the sound of your wonderful voice (second time jve wrote that today.) he feels like hes 20 years younger! (canon revivebur is 40+. don't believe me? check tommys first stream after c!wilbur was revived.) it feels like hes falling in love all over again.

eventually you head inside a door to the side and wilbur waits until the bodyguard (lets be honest, its just sam or purpled 😭) in front of the door has looked away to sneak past. it seems to just be a plain dressing room.

you turn at the sound of the door opening and immediately glare at wilbur. you werent worried about yourself, you were worried about your son. you would not let wilbur hurt him again.

"what do you want, wilbur?" he laughs and shrugs.

"what? im not able to see my wife? come here," he teases as he tries to pull you into a hug. you immediately back away and glare at him harder.

"dont lay a hand on me. i am not your wife and fundy isnt your son. get out," you hissed as wilbur stared down at you in disbelief. he lets out a breathy laugh.

"what? what do you mean youre not my wife?"

"i mean, im not your wife," you spoke, your tone laced in venom. you were even angrier than before. he didnt even care about fundy.

"youre being ridiculous. we have never gotten divorced," he mumbled. his anger was slowly starting to show through. you had to get him out.

"...."

"get out. before i scream," you responded. unfortunately, the one thing your outfit didnt come with was a dagger.

"i dont see what your issue is. love, do you have any idea how much i missed you? no one would tell me where you were and i was worried sick! now, im here and im trying to make things right and youre just trying to kick me out?" he took one step towards you and that was it for you.

"SAM!"

it took one shout for sam to come in. he had wilbur restrained immediately.

"will, you say we never got divorced. so, i would like to declare this our last conversation as lovers."

he gave a sharp inhale and stared you down as sam dragged him out of the casino.

he couldnt even give two shits about fundy.

this turned out so much longer than necessary. 😭

Engine Being and Gold Dust World Building

For the Gold Whistle AU.

I will be interchangeably going over both Gold Dust and the Engine beings at random points so bare with me.

🔆 Gold Dust is the result of grounded up minerals, it is Only found in Sodor and possess supernatural abilities which include teleportation and life granting. Gold Dust is then put in coal as an experiment, and thus a Sentient Engine is awakened. Gold Dust has the alternate name of Auren Powder but no one uses it.

🔆 Steam Locomotives use G.D coal and Diesel Locomotives use G.D diesel fuel, everything else (i.e Cranes,Aircraft,Electric trains,cars,etc) have Gold Dust sprinkled onto them.

🔆 Gold Dust beings are the result of the Sentient vehicle gaining a human-like form, Why they specifically appear human is currently unknown but it has been theorised that because humans are the one thing they see the most as well as more ‘dexterous’ than them.

🔆 Cranes and Aircraft appear more Mechanical in appearance (with them resembling robots).

🔆 When an Gold Dust being manifests, they ‘unpossess’ their vehicle body/turns into a regular Vehicle. And when they first form it’s Always subconsciously.

🔆 When they manifest, they tend to resemble actual ghosts or spectres before fully forming into a humanoid shape and become tangible, unless you’re a Gresley then you just appear and disappear into a mini gold dust explosion thin air like a ghost.

🔆 If anything happens to the Locomotive then the Engine being’s physical appearance is affected, such as Repaints,Damage and Rebuilds. Although no one really knows How it happens, especially if the Engine being is manifested since they’re Outside of their locomotive body.(*cough**cough*henry*ahem*)

🔆 They‘re anatomy is similar to humans on the surface, but they aren’t. Engine beings are smoothed out AKA they have Barbie doll anatomy (the lack of reproductive organs and such).

🔆 They are built like regular humans though, which means they can bleed,get sick,get wounds and scars and lose limbs.

🔆 Wether they look more feminine or masculine Or androgynous looking is up to the Engine.

🔆 Engine’s face and human form can be seen by everything and Everyone due to having the same properties as a human being. This does mean they can get photographed, and when there is a faceless engine thats either because they aren’t alive or the Engine being isn’t ‘in’ the Locomotive.

🔆 The only way to Kill a Engine being is to give them what is known as Rust Sugar, consumption leads to a slow but painless death (it’s more akin to sleeping to them) before the being dissipates into dust.

🔆 Clothing,accessories,and prosthetics given to and worn by Engine beings are automatically counted as ‘a Part of them’.

🔆 They can change outfits with a poof of Gold Dust.

🔆 Despite their human like properties, they can ‘Crack’ due to age, the cracking however looks more similar to stone than actual metal. Many Locomotives have these cracks (including younger engines) though they are usually hidden by clothing. Cracking only appears as a side effect to age, the only way to lessen the cracks is to be overhauled.

🔆 They are unable to consume human food aside from water. They Will get sick if they do consume food.

🔆 All Engine beings possess their locomotive strength and speed, which means they are Very strong and Very fast. This leads to very humorous situations (like a Tank engine lifting a tender engine in their arms).

🔆 There is a rare occurrence of Ghost Engines appearing after scrapping, this is possibly a side effect to the Gold Dust’s magical abilities. All ghosts seem to possess ‘tears’ made or Gold Dust.

🔆 After the discovery of Gold Dust as well as infusing said Gold Dust into their railway, they decide to infuse it into objects. Whistles being the most common, those who have G.D infused whistles are often called Conductors. Then the Engine being phenomena happened and they said “We’re giving Gold Dust whistles to the engines!”.

🔆 a Gold Dust infused whistles main abilities include long range Teleportation and something often called ‘Narration’, which allows the user to view what a specific person is doing. There are other magical abilities too but those depend on who possess have it (AKA Personality powers).

🔆 There IS a reason why D10 is after Lady and it is in relation to the Gold Dust and the Engines of Sodor. Though that’s a story, for another day.

#Golden whistle au #ttte #thomas the tank engine #world building #watch as i proceed to retcon the Flying Kipper comic repeatedly #is this creative? highly debatable tbh sijsjsja

DC SUPERHERO GIRLS HEADCANNONS

i’m gonna start writing headcannons whenever i get sad/anxious for a number of different fandoms. it takes my mind off things, even if only for a little bit. this time it’s gonna be about dcshg 2019. i’m honestly obsessed with thinking about the mundane teenager things we don’t see in the show that all the superhero/villian kids go through so i wanted to write some stuff about that.

•karen is actually more popular than she realizes, people think she’s sweet even though they rarely see her/don’t have classes with her

•leslie and dorris are a thing to everyone BUT themselves; they hilariously don’t even realize they’ve basically been dating for years: carpooling together, hanging out before and after school, bullying kids like a tag team, skipping classes together, movie nights, shorting out the exercise machines at the mall to make that misogynistic jerk at the fitness store scared, buying their favorite snacks for each other without thinking much of it, etc.

•barbi not only hates diana with a burning passion but ALSO tatsu because both girls excel in both their academic and physical education classes, unintentionally surpassing barbie by a long shot whenever the opportunity presents itself

•jessica and hal hang out at sweet justice after their week day training classes and even invite barry when he has the day off

•kara is completely oblivious to the fact there are a bunch of girls crushing on her at school, she keeps wondering why they whisper about her and never make direct eye contact with her as she walks through the hallways. she only finds out what is actually going on when she opens her locker on valentine’s day and gets COVERED in cards. she doesn’t tell most of her friends about it (she knows they’ll just be annoying) but she does vaguely ask jess about how to write people back, turning them down nicely and whatnot, she’s not a monster for gods sake, she’s just not ready for a relationship.

•babs and diana like to study together the most even though barbra never really pays attention, she mostly talks about different batman articles and comics she read and new gadgets she’s created but diana doesn’t mind TOO much because she has an growing interest in modern day ‘world of man’ technology

•diana can NOT sing to save her life. the girls thought that having a karaoke night would be fun sure, but nothing would’ve prepared them for the laughing fits they had when diana started screeching into the mic. They also find out that Babs is always off pitch and Jessica refuses to sing in front of people. alternatively, however, zee, kara and karen (in that order) are the best singers in the group.

•zee keeps inviting kara to these crazy expensive-super long wait list restaurants even though she knows kara probably won’t eat any of the food. she doesn’t really know why she keeps doing it, especially after the whole giant tentacle incident, but she does know she enjoys kara’s funny comments and cute laugh enough to continue.

•when selina first saw diana she might of had a tiny sexuality crisis, no she won’t elaborate.

•tatsu helps garth work on his confidence and he helps her with her HUGE slight fear of open water. even though they don’t know the other is super, they still help each other as much as they can. tatsu will train garth to do some basic defense techniques against bullies and they’ll go swimming every other week, garth always making sure to keep as much water as he can away from tatsu’s eyes and nose.

•kara and barry like to race each other whenever they get a chance to go to the pier. kara always cheats so she never loses but barry doesn’t mind because he’s her friend and it makes them laugh.

•steve is actually really good at embroidery, his mom taught him when he was younger. he once made a wonder woman shirt for diana and when he gave it to her, she fainted.....twice.

•pam is allergic to three different types of flowers but she still nurtures them in her garden at home whenever she can. if her allergies get really bad though, she’ll ask jess to help her water them, ONLY because she needs to keep her precious flowers alive, NOT because she is actually jess’ friend...she thinks.

•the first time carol met barbie they both got into detention for loudly insulting each other’s fashion sense in the middle of math class. (they still haven’t apologized to each other so they keep acting like it didn’t happen because they both think they’re right)

•the first time harleen called pam “green bean”, pam blushed and giggled...like FULL blown diana talking to steve giggle. and then she pushed harleen off a bridge with a vine on accident. harleen thought it was the funniest thing ever and pam could only awkwardly apologize for almost killing her teammate

•oliver and zee tried to co-write a christmas play but they were so busy fighting each other on who had a better ending they didn’t actually order any props or costumes for it. leaving the main actress to perform in a pirate outfit.

•kara still hangs out with bizarro super girl every now and again and they take turns ranting about their idiot cousins, it’s all light hearted because kara still has some emotional stuff to work through.

•diana unintentionally starts a “who will come out next” contest when she asks the girls about same sex attraction. she had seen leslie and dorris making out in one of the locker rooms (yes they FINALLY got together together) and asked her friends what it meant. after a lot of confusion as kara stumbled over her explanation of the lgbtq+ community, she ends up coming out as a lesbian first, followed by babs, who is bisexual, karen, who is questioning but absolutely had a crush on kara before their food fight detention day, and zee who is trans. they end up going to metropolis pride two months after that.

•diana is still convinced there is an oracle at the pier so every other sunday the girls go so she can spend all of her money on “knowing the future”

•babs never really gets angry on the daily and the rest of the girls learn why when some jerk at sweet justice insults jess’ looks because she wouldn’t go out with him. barbra turned bright red as she let him have it, words coming out of her mouth faster than barry can make their ice cream (they didn’t think she had it in her). and if he he ended up glued to his bed the next day, well, jess will let batgirl get away with that one JUST this once. barbra will NEVER not stick up for her friends.

•kara and babs often have multiple sleepovers a week, harleen even joins them sometimes when kara doesn’t mind her LOUD presence.

•the girls never get mad at one another when someone breaks down or blows up after holding certain feelings in for too long. whether it’s kara ghosting them for days leading up to her mom’s birthday, diana overworking herself to the point of exhaustion when she gets homesick, karen refusing to go out to anywhere except for school and tough missions for weeks at a time because she thinks she doesn’t matter, zee reading too many spells at once and giving herself an awful migraine after messing up an easy one, jessica isolating herself at lunch so she can sit in the library alone and cry to herself quietly after a hard day of training, or babs not being her normal happy self after having a heated argument with harleen, there will ALWAYS be a shoulder to cry on when someone needs it. If that comes in the form a knock on kara’s door as her friends invite themselves in with her favorite foods and a mega ‘feel better soon’ music playlist in tow, an impromptu destress retreat that they force diana to go on where she is only allowed to use a weapon if there is a direct threat, making a giant list of all the things they love about karen and reading it to her from outside her window, someone closing zee’s spell book and holding her tightly as her eyes turn back to normal from flaring pink with anger, all the girls quietly sitting with jessica one by one in the library and gently holding her hand as she lets out what she can, or buying limited edition comics and leaving them as presents for babs in her section of the hideout, there is ALWAYS someone there to make it hurt a little less.

the end :))

daily notes, july 12, 2021

First good news is that the results from my last exam were fine. Second good news is that the ultrasound went well. A far more pleasant experience than my last appointment. I think I could see the unusual tissue on the screen (they had a big one on the wall for patients to view, yay). It was like a big dark spot, compared to everything else.

Bad news is only mildly bad. More like “I just want to bitch, because I’m exhausted.” So that goes beneath the cut. I’ll add some more good stuff at the end of the list.

Overall, today was good. (Pertinent info bolded for easier reading.)

1) I think Walmart has phased out the “Just My Size” brand. No fitting room attendants, so I couldn’t try on the other pants I found. Considering they had a size larger than what I wear, I know I’ll be okay if I have to get a different size. (Plus size clothing is notoriously tough to find the right fit with.)

2) Barbie (and all toys) section was thinner than last time! I grabbed another Roxy outfit and some miniature shoes. (Idk why it’s $14 something on the site, as it was only $4 in the store.) They did have the newer pigtails Barbie Extra doll, but not the pink-blue hair one I wanted. (Guess they all ended up in Australia?)

3) This was our first shopping adventure since the plastic bag ban. I only brought 2 of my reusable bags, and it was nowhere near enough for all the groceries we got. Dad just threw the non-frozen stuff in the back. Frozen food stayed in the cab with us, as we forgot to bring a cooler. (It’s a 1-hour drive between here and Ellsworth, mind you.)

3.5) I do have more reusable bags, but they’ve been in storage. Got ‘em as gifts over the years, but the bag ban only started July 1st. (Delayed a year, due to the plague.)

4) I got another fancy drink from Dunkin Donuts, but I forgot to load up on water first, so I couldn’t savor it. Gotta drink the water first, to quench my thirst. Then I can indulge with the nice stuff afterwards. (It was still really good.)

5) As we waited in line, we talked to Neighbor-G on dad’s cell. (We went to trivia night with her, back in 2020.) Dad apologized for the previous call cutting out, as his signal was bad in the hospital. So he explained that I was there for an ultrasound but didn’t say what kind. He’s like, “I’ll have her explain it,” then handed the phone to me.

So I’m like, “Yeah, just unusual tissue on a place where... I probably shouldn’t say it right now, because we’re in public. But it’s nothing to wor-” and dad half-shouts “LADY PARTS!” in the background. Like, dude. You couldn’t say that to her on the phone, but you’re gonna shout it in public? Are you possessed my mom’s ghost today? Wtf.

Idek if Neighbor-G heard him. A minute later, I said, “Oh I didn’t even tell you the best part. They had to call in a second-opinion for that first exam!” And I didn’t think I said it that loud, but one of the other people nearby kinda made eye contact with me. So I told G that I shouldn’t say more. “Everything’s fine, but I’m in public right now.” Even mentioned how I’ve been practicing on holding back on info-dumping and blurting, so this felt like my effort was wasted. (Obviously it wasn’t, but it still feels like a kick in the pants after I was so proud of myself earlier. I used to be sooo bad about over-sharing with medical professionals.)

Dad apologized after the call. I wouldn’t have minded if we were at home or at a smaller venue. It’s just that it’s friggen Walmart and people can hear. They don’t need to know about that stuff.

------------------------

Back to good stuff, we got a cardboard cat cottage, and I put it together right away. Wampus investigated right after I sprinkled the cat nip. Moscow was in there, last I looked.

I definitely think it’d be a good display on a shelf, with the side-door feature. The printed floor faces inside the cottage, which is separate from the scratch board pieces. If I got a 2nd cottage, I could just keep the scratch boards as replacements for the 1st cottage.

Got some other good things, like a new computer mouse and some cat brushes. Found more mandarin orange gel cups from Dole and more bags of frozen fruit.

This year has really felt like a lot has happened, and yet nothing has happened. It’s like an entire year of liminal space. (At least for me, since I have only left my house about a dozen times this year and otherwise I’ve been inside 24/7.)

So, I thought I’d compile a list of good things for me this year, even if it feels like it's been bleak. It actually didn’t completely suck when I look back on it.

The best thing I did this year was publishing 5 chapters of After. Even tho I stalled out around the middle of the year, at least I got it going again (after 4 years!). I was aiming to finish it by the end of this year, but obviously I didn’t quite get there. Maybe next year. (I hope!)

I made some good headcanons this year. To most ppl, that probably wouldn’t be such a big deal, but I’m trying to craft my Barbieverse very carefully, so it matters to me a lot. Unfortunately, I also can’t share a lot of them yet bc of spoilers, but hopefully when I get there in my writing, ppl will appreciate them.

And speaking of new headcanons, there was a new Barbie movie. Even if I didn’t totally love everything about it, new content is new content, plus at least the soundtrack was good. There was also a new season of DA, which gave me a lot of things I wanted, including Tammy/Trey interaction, a Halloween episode, and the return of Morton Rise. Not bad for a show I honestly had 0 faith in. (I love to be proven wrong when it comes to these things.)

I actually did a surprising amount of art this year? I didn’t realize it until I went thru my tag:

Goddess Chelsea

my first Regellius/Talayla

my first Skipper/Jonas

birthday art for Lucie

ghost whisperer Emily Willows

my first Elaine and Cadmus

mermaid Chelsea

Dandelion and her parents

ladybug fairy variants

birthday art for Jojo

Erika’s parents

my first Blair/Petit

two outfit memes: Sal-Lee and Sloane

And a few other things I don’t think are as good. But even if my quality is all over the place, I actually did manage to create a lot. It’s nice to have a visual record of it. (I also have SO many wips so that might mean more art in the future. Might.)

I watched several new shows: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Russian Doll, Schitt’s Creek, A Million Little Things... Maybe some others? It’s really hard to remember. But I actually did watch new content, and found joy in each of them (altho, they were very different kinds of joy). I also stopped watching some shows (RTA, Siren) but sometimes you just have to say goodbye to things that suck. Or immediately forget things that suck as soon as they’re over (She-Ra).

I took a lot of pictures of my cat, and took a few pictures of my dolls. I rearranged my room. I actually put my clothes away after living out of laundry baskets for basically years. I did a lot of little things, even if I never did any big things. And that’s fine. It’s honestly fine. It’s been really, really hard to say that this year, bc unlike the other bleak periods in my life... This felt like it would never end. It really did. At least when you’re actively grieving, you know intellectually that you will feel better one day, even if it seems impossible in the moment. But this period has just been clouded by such uncertainty, and it really still is. The New Year isn’t a magic switch that makes all problems go away. But I for one believe in arbitrary celebrations and categorizing things like this. Compartmentalizing is the only way I get thru the day. So I’m going to try to have hope for tomorrow, in January 1, 2021. I’m going to try to recapture that feeling I had on January 1, 2020, when I had just published 3 new chapters of my fic and I was feeling like I was going to finally change my life. I need that feeling. I need it now more than ever. I think we all do.

All of the shades of pink asks!! (only if you want to though)

THANK YOU @thatsmartidiot24 💙💙💙

SORRY EVERYONE ELSE 🤦‍♂️

Champagne pink - If you became famous, what would you want your fans to love most about you? I suppose I'd like to be someone's inspiration, like to follow a dream ecs.

Pink lace - If you could ask one yes or no question and get a truthful answer, what would it be? Boring, but probably "is there life outside Earth?" just because it's a clear yes/no and that's all you really need.

Piggy pink - Do you trust your intuition? Has your intuition ever guided you to make good decisions? Trust it? Not at all. But I sometimes do things on a whim and they pay off in the long run.

Pale pink - What’s a smart choice you made recently that you felt good about? I've decided to try and motivate myself more.

Baby pink - What advice would you give your 10 year old self? I did this earlier but... 1) dont try so hard in school, 2) you're gay as fuck & 3) dont be afraid to smack a bitch.

Spanish pink - When was the last time you yelled at someone? "Yelled" is a bit far but this afternoon I tried (and failed) to stand up to my Mum...

Cameo pink - When do you think it is acceptable to lie? When it spares someones feelings without causing them further harm, and to prevent something terrible I guess?

Orchid pink - What is the biggest dealbreaker for you when it comes to relationships? I've never been in one, but I'd say being rude for no reason and gaslighting.

Fairy Tale - What is your favourite mythical creature? Kelpies sounds wonderful (the water horses right?) and dragons.

Cherry blossom pink - If you could pick any celebrity to be your guardian angel, who would it be? *desperately tries to think of an unproblematic celebrity* can you fuck your guardian angel? cos then that's a very different question...

Cotton candy - What was your last dream about? Pain Au Raisin. I'd had my first that day and dreamt about them, but in the dream I couldnt have one and cried 🤦‍♂️

Carnation pink - Congrats! You get to write direct and star in a film, about whatever you want! What’s the genre and what’s the soundtrack for the opening credits, the action or drama sequences, the climax of the film, and the closing credits? I love a good espionage/heist/something sneaky film, but also historical things so let's go for period with sneak, preferably set between 1920 and 1960 with the music of the time in the soundtrack.

Tickle me pink - Do you believe in karma? If so, how do you think it manifests, if not, why? I like to think what goes around comes around, but I dont really know what the 2nd part means...

Amaranth pink - Type the first 10 words that come to mind. That is anon’s fortune for next week! I CANT HANDLE THIS PRESSURE.

Charm pink - If you were a celebrity, would you read fanfiction about yourself? Who do you think people would ship you with? Maybe once or twice, gauge what the people think. Hopefully someone who isnt already in a relationship, since that sucks for them.

China pink - What is your favourite fairytale or myth? Ghosts sound fun. But just spirits who chose not to pass on, like actual people with actual sense, not women in black that stand in various corners intimidatingly for no apparent reason. (If you've seen BBC Ghosts, I absolutely love that idea)

Mimi Pink - If you could relive any moment in your past, what would it be and would you do anything different? My first (only, thanks COVID) dance comp, and I'd comb my fucking hair and actually dance well 🤦‍♂️ (nothing more frustrating that knowing you can do much better but you just... didnt)

Tango pink - What is your favourite food from your culture? "culture" is pushing it, but Welsh cakes fucking slap just saying...

Congo pink - How are things better now than they were yesterday? I'm better mentally.

New York pink - Is there a book or film that’s your guilty pleasure? This whole fandom is my guilty pleasure, but also How To Train your Dragon, both the books and the films.

Queen pink - What advice would you give to yourself 8 years from now? How do I advise future me? I guess if I'm still as I am now, get help because it's not going away...

Mountbatten pink - If you could get any tattoo, disregarding pain or cost, what would you get? Colour tattoos are gorgeous, proper bright vibrant ones, and probably something natural like flowers or vines ecs...

Mexican pink - What is your favourite lyric from your favourite album? I don't listen to albums tbh...

Barbie pink - If you could make one extravagant purchase for yourself, what would you buy? The proper outfits for my dance comps, that costs WAY more than they should 😪

Fandango pink - What is the best lie you’ve ever pulled off? Pretending I was never given the homework probably. basic bitch...

Paradise pink - Is there a subject you could talk for hours about? I'm meant to write about it here, but I wont bore you, since I could talk for hours about ballroom and latin dancing and I wouldnt even know where to start...

Brink pink - Did something odd or uncanny happen to you today? I got two asks in the space of 10 minutes 😂

French pink - Do you believe in intuition as your brain figuring things out quickly or as the universe guiding you? I have no faith in my own brain so let's say the ✨universe✨

Bright pink - What is your dream outfit/fashion aesthetic? I absolutely love the dancesport outfits, they can be absolutely insane if you have the money (I know nothing about aesthetics so I'm saying that...)

Persian pink - What quality in people do you gravitate towards? They pay you attention before you pay it to them, sometimes.

Rose Pink - Do you think it’s better to forgive and forget, or do you think holding onto anger is important? I'm useless at holding on to anger, so the former for me.

Ultra pink - How are things better now than they were six months ago? Not the best of years to be asking this 😂 but I didnt have to sit my final GCSEs so that's nice...

Shocking pink - What pisses you off the most? People having opinions on things they know nothing about.

Rose Pompadour - What is your favourite name from your culture’s language? Again, "culture" is pushing it, but I love the names Owen (from Owain, I think) and Seren (meaning "star" in Welsh).

If you read this far, I implore you to get a hobby. Why is it so much fun to answer random questions about yourself?! 😂💙

#ask me #i love random question things like this #but if youre reading the TAGS too then seriously #get a life #😂😂#ravenclaw-reblogs

Bizarre, confrontational, idk. Is there a word that means unwilling to put up with anyone’s bullshit? Because if so, then that.

I don’t even know how I would find that out.

161: How many drafts do you have on your blog(s)?

Right now, I have 12, but that’s because I’ve queued up the next 4 days HamiltonHungerGames. Usually, I have none. I don’t understand how people have drafts. When I feel like writing something on tumblr, I start a post, I end the post, I post it. I never use drafts

162: How many likes do you have on your blog(s)?

??? Again, I have no idea how to find that information.

163: Last time you cried and why:

I honestly don’t remember.

164: Do you have long or short hair?

Usually long, but right now short. My mom decided to give me a covid haircut, and she does not understand the meaning of “Just a trim”.

165: Longest your hair has ever been:

Down to my butt.

166: Why do you like, dislike, or have neutral feelings about religon?

Dislike. I’m not going to talk about it here, but if you’re really curious you can dm me.

167: Do you really care how the universe and world was created?

Yes, because if we know where the universe and world came from, we can figure out where it’s headed. See the book Origins by Dan Brown.

168: Do you like to wear makeup?

Not at all.

169: Can you stand on your hands or head for more than thirty seconds?

I can barely stand on my feet for more than 30 seconds.

170: Did you answer the questions you were asked truthfully?

Tried to.

Ok, this took me an hour and 45 minutes. I’m tired, I’m drunk, I’m going to regret this in the morning, I’m going to bed. Night y’all.

Those Who Fall: “APTF” Story (Modern Domestic Stucky AU)

Two:

"Sophia has swim practice at five," Steve reminded Bucky, stirring lukewarm rice cereal for Holly. "And I can't be there because I have parent-teacher conferences, so I really need you to be there."

"Swim practice at five," Bucky repeated, pouring brownie flavored coffee into Steve's thermos for him, "Got it. I'll be there."

Steve nodded and started feeding the ten month old. Around a mouthful of scrambled eggs and lightly burnt toast, their oldest, Luke said, "Remember, marching band doesn't get over until seven tonight because we're getting ready for Homecoming."

"Shoot! That's right," Steve momentarily set down the small bowl of baby food and grabbed the stack of ghost shaped post-it notes by the fridge and wrote a reminder for himself. Making sure that he wouldn't forget, he stuck it to his phone, and then got back to feeding the sassiest of the bunch.

Inadvertently making a funny face as he fed the baby, by opening his own mouth in hopes that she'd open hers. Most times, she did. When a mess happened, he used the spoon to collect the mush off her light pink-white face and told Luke, "I'll swing by to pick you up after I'm done with conferences."

"That's okay," the teen exclaimed just a little too quickly to not be suspicious. Wiping his mouth on the back of his dark olive-brown hand, he clunkily recovered, "I have a ride."

"You do?" Bucky asked, brows quirked high on his forehead. Steve turned around to exchange a look with Bucky while Luke nodded his confirmation and Bucky questioned, "Who?"

"Oh, uh," a red tint started to color his still childish-chubby cheeks and he looked everywhere but at either of his dads, "Just some friends. Other band kids."

"Stacy," Sophia sing-songed while she pushed her choppy black bangs away from her almond shaped eyes.

"That's not even her name," Luke glared at the eight year old and sneered under his breath, "Shut up!"

Sophia's mouth dropped open and she instantly tattled, "Daddy, Luke told me to shut up!"

"Shut up!" Luke said, louder, with wide eyes.

"Daddy, Luke told me --"

"Shut up!" Ethan, their six year old foster son, copied his idol, the older boy.

"Daddy, Ethan --"

"Luke, don't tell your sister to, 'shut up.'" Bucky reprimanded around a mouthful of eggs, "Ethan, don't copy your older brother. Especially when he's saying a No-No Phrase."

Luke rolled his eyes at that, but didn't say anything. Instead he stood from the island and brought his plate around to the sink. Rinsing it first, he set it in the dishwasher before making his way back upstairs to his room. Steve glanced at the clock to check the time.

Once Holly started getting fussy and made a mess because she wasn't hungry anymore, Steve decided that it was time for him to get the rest of the kids ready. Setting the half-full bowl in the sink, Steve wiped her round face, and noted the way her bottom lip was quivering.

As Steve lifted her from the high chair, Bucky noticed it too and playfully pretended as though he was going to eat her tiny hand. Instantly, Holly giggled and Steve pressed a sweet kiss to Bucky's cheek. Of course, that caused the eight year old and six year old still at the island to mock gags while they complained about the PDA.

Playfully rolling his eyes, Steve shook his head and carried the baby upstairs. Passing the kids' bathroom, Steve noticed Luke digging through the drawers as he looked for something. Switching Holly to his other hip, Steve paused at the open door.

"Need help?" Steve asked.

Sighing, the fifteen year old stood upright and threw his head back as he explained, "I can't find my sponge."

"Well," Steve thought for a moment. But Steve didn't get a lot of sleep and he had a fussy baby on his hip, "Maybe it's in your room."

"It's not going to --"

"Just look, please?" Steve interrupted. Switching hips again, Steve assured, "As soon as I get Holly dressed, I'll help look for it. Okay?"

Although he wasn't happy about it, he still agreed. Nodding, he exited the bathroom and into his bedroom. Not wanting to take too long dilly dallying, Steve entered Holly's room and immediately changed her out of her footie pajamas. Since it was October, Steve decided on an appropriate outfit. Black leggings dotted with metallic gold pumpkins and a matching white sweater with a large metallic gold pumpkin on the front.

"Let's go help bub!" Steve exaggerated as he placed the ten month old on his hip once more and carried her into the bathroom.

Rummaging through the vanity drawers, Steve looked underneath hairbrushes and combs and wondered why the hell they had so many when only four children were currently living with them. Looked underneath the bows and scrunchies, and extra toothbrushes. Nothing. Nada. The sponge wasn't there.

"Did you find it?"

Turning around to find the hopeful teen, Steve's shoulders slumped and he shook his head. "Sorry, bud." Trying to think of where it could be, he asked, "Have you checked in the downstairs bathroom?"

"No," Luke sighed and turned to walk downstairs. Under his breath, he muttered, "Why would it be in the downstairs bathroom?"

Sighing himself, Steve kissed Holly's temple and finger combed her wild red curls. Heading back downstairs, Sophia passed him on the staircase. On a whim, Steve stopped her and asked, "Have you seen Luke's sponge?"

A glimpse of guilt flashed across her expression as she shrugged and went to run upstairs. Steve narrowed his eyes suspiciously and backtracked up the steps. Following his daughter to her room and simply standing there in the open doorway as he repeated, "Have you see Luke's sponge?"

The way that Sophia purposely didn't look at him was answer enough. With a sigh, he said, "I need you to give it back."

"But then Barbie won't have a bed!" Sophia argued, her thin lower lip pouting while she stomped her foot.

"Barbie already has a bed, it's attached to the cottage's wall," Steve answered walking into the bedroom. Bypassing the two spare beds to reach the blue Barbie Dream Cottage. Only, he didn't find it.

Straightening up, Steve quirked a brow at her, and she pointed over to the aisle between two of the beds. Sheepishly, she clarified, "Barbie went camping."

Despite himself, he couldn't help the grin stretch at his lips as he set Holly on the floor and got down to his hands and knees. Under the bed, a miniature pink and purple tent was set up. Lifting it, he found the black Barbie doll, "sleeping," on the large sponge. Specifically on the egg carton foam-like side, which Steve found amusing.

"No," Sophia said.

Standing up, Steve watched as Sophia tried to keep Holly from leaving the bedroom. Although she had nothing to worry about with the baby gate at the top of the stairs, it warmed Steve's heart to see that she did care. Especially with the way she was when she came to live with them two and a half years ago. It filled Steve up with love seeing that growth.

"Pops! Did you find --" Cutting himself off, Luke's eyes were trained on the sponge and then they glared at his sister, "I told you to keep your hands off my stuff!"

"But Barbie needed a bed!" Sophia argued as though it made perfect sense.

"You can't just take things that aren't yours!"

"Papa!" Sophia whined.

Lifting Holly into his arms once more, Steve shook his head and confirmed, "It's not nice to take things that aren't yours without asking. How would you feel if Ethan took your Barbie?"

Sighing Sophia got it, and she said, "Sorry, Luke."

As Steve handed the sponge to Luke, he lifted brows expectantly and gave the eight year old a pointed look. Rolling his eyes, Luke sighed, "It's okay."

Steve simply shook his head. Luke was already rubbing the sponge along his hair in circular motions. Creating twists and defined curls as he entered the bathroom. Sophia followed after him and he helpfully handed her, her glittery purple Little Mermaid brush. Although they fought more often than not, Steve wouldn't trade it for anything. The little moments when they got along was everything to Steve.
