AMERICAN TELEVISION CIGARETTE COMMERCIALS/ADS FROM THE 1960s

★ ★ | Two "Stars"

From Juniorjunior (SFK) | ★★★★★

ADVISORY: This video is an acquired taste. It is far from what most of the fans of vs120shound have come to expect. Nearly entirely shot in Black-and-White photography, not the customary color, though there are some snippets of color scenes interspersed here. This is a compilation of U.S.A. television cigarette ads from the 1960s. It is NOT for all fans of the Smoking Fetish. For those of you who can enjoy this kind of a video, we are glad that you are able. For those of you who are not capable, we extended a "guarded" yet sincere apology.

This captures the American smoking culture of the 1960s as depicted in array of cigarette advertisements made for television. Added in early-March 2023. Thanks to Juniorjunior for posting on Smoking Fetish Kingdom in July 2022. Celebrities were big for pumping certain brands of cigarettes to Americans. There was a receptive audience. American Culture was NOT inundated with warnings and advisories and scientific reports with evidence of the harms of smoking cigarettes. Also, a much higher percentage of Amerian adults were regular, addicted cigarette smokers, with that rate approaching half of the population as confirmed, dependable smokers. Unlike today where the smoking rate for adults hovers around a 20 percent acceptance rate. Different times. American Culture has evolved. Bottom line: a higher percentage of hot, young (and middle-aged and older) American women were smokers, with a much smaller percentage of those women looking to quit smoking or considering an abandonment of the habit back then. Unlike nowadays, when you ask a smoking woman whether she should quit smoking, or if she plans to in the immediate or not-too-distant future to leave cigarettes behind them for a healthier lifestyle, they will answer "yes" or "probably" or "I'm hopeful of trying" or lastly "one day way off in the future, I will quit." These actors in the ads aren't really acting when they model extreme happiness to be smoking and showing pride in their habit or their status as being smokers. Many of the actors portraying smokers were not portraying, they were actual, real smokers. Most Americans who smoked would have answered yes to whether they enjoyed smoking cigarettes in the day, and few would have had admitted to having tried to quit. Good times. But healthier times now. Lastly, back then, parents would not have been ashamed to admit that their children were learning how to smoke or few parents would have been embarrassed to admit their teenage children had already become regular, addicted, habitual smokers. Some of the parents would have accepted learning about their daughters and sons' interest in cigarettes. Some parent would have encouraged their children to try cigarettes. Some would have asked them whether they were interested in the habit. And, finally, some smoking parents would have made it their business to make sure their children either tried cigarettes or would have ensured that their daughters and sons one day would, in fact, become smokers just like they were. This is no longer "politically correct" or "culturally sensitive" to have these attitudes. Still exists today, those ideas, but in much smaller rate of incidence. America is still moving toward becoming a smoke-free society. But there always will be holdouts and hold-overs. Some Americans -- some hot, young American women -- always will seek to become and succeed at becoming smokers. Smoking is part of American life. Always will be. And the same can be said for the rest of the world but we know smoking rates outside of the U.S.A. are higher there than they are here.

#SF #Hot women who love smoking cigarettes #Smoking #Young teenage girls who always will want to be indentified as cigarette smokers!

As Prima Facie prepares for its Atlantic crossing to open on Broadway next year, some of Jodie Comer's fans are expressing their concerns that she won't be able to handle prolonged exposure to New York City and the U.S.A. Relax. She'll be fine.

Jodie Comer is a grown-ass woman who has traveled extensively including to shoot Killing Eve, The Last Duel, and Free Guy. She's not a child and I don't get why fans want to treat her like her feet don't touch the ground yet.

NYC does not fawn over "stars." You can't swing a stick in Manhattan without seeing one or two, and most of the time nobody but gawkers, paparazzi, and tourists give them the time of day. Jodie will be fine. Someone might say to her, "Hey, how ya doing. Love your work" and keep it moving. Boom. Done.

There will be fans and autograph hounds waiting outside the theater, but not like in her own backyard. NYC is not a city dazzled by celebrities. She'll be fine.

She's an adult and just because we see her on television and film screens, we can be invested in her future and hoping she does well, but we don't KNOW her, and that's fine by me. All Jodie Comer owes any of us is her best performance. That's it.

Jodie belongs to herself and her family and friends. That excludes all of us.

#jodie comer #prima facie #killing eve #free guy #the last duel #grown ass woman #she'll be fine #she's good at this #coming to america #new york state of mind #she doesn't belong to you #life after killing eve

FALSE: Televised Movie Special for a FINAL 3rd Season of Amphibia will not happen in mid-June 2022

FROG VALLEY, AMPHIBIA ISLAND REGION -- Almost a month after the 3rd and Final Season ended in mid-May this year in 2022, a single animated Twitter insider (Debbie) from Malaysia (not an actual real name) releasing a few of the still images, fresh and direct from the studio of Disney Television Animation (DTVA), which is not to be released anywhere to the public.

Debbie spreads a tweet like wildfires Thursday morning (June 2nd, 2022 -- Pacific local time) that the Animation team have wrapped up for the upcoming final touches in post-production, even after the said series ended. A 42-minute televised movie special, in celebration of its 3rd anniversary of Amphibia will air this year by June 18th starting at 8am (Eastern local time).

Additionally, a British singer songwriter named Edward Christopher Sheeran will feature as a guest star who was voiced per male pastor in a historic 3-way marriage event of SashAnnArcy (Sasha Waybright, Anne Savisa Boonchuy & Marcy Wu) before departing all the way back to Los Angeles, California, United States of America (U.S.A.). The new voice of Sprig Plantar was undetermined as she notes a source to our news team.

One unofficial synopsis obtained exclusively with a drafted movie special on television: *Back to Amphibia -- "Former students of Saint James Middle School (SJMS) accidentally activated a source which teleports them to the Amphibia Island Region while revisiting a place where it all once started".

The movie special claims for a Disney Channel cartoon show leads to an extensive sequel of Episode 1 back in mid-June 2019, several months before the Coronavirus Disease-19 (CoViD-19) pandemic worldwide.

Here at OneNETnews, we furtherly debunk the said Twitter insider for a televised movie special, in partnership with Tegna Inc. and WPMT-TV's FOX 43: Central Pennsylvania.

Our sources gathered the following: *A deleted tweet of one Show Creator (Dana Terrace). *The Cable Forum, as first obtained from a Forum Administrator named KyL416 (which is matched and verified with TVPassport listings in America's Eastern schedule). and *A Question and Answer Panel, moderated from a Los Angeles YouTuber via ZOOM named DeepCut who mainly owns Cartoon Universe.

The official schedules of Disney Channel as Kyl416 reported, it airs most of the show reruns until a new episode showned with "The Ghost and Molly McGee" at 9:30am (Eastern local time) by June 18th.

While on June 4th this weekend as according thru TVPassport and a deleted tweet with 'The Owl House' show creator (Dana Terrace), the episode marathon focuses a lesbian couple between Luz Noceda and Amity Blight (known as LuMity for short).

And, a YouTuber in Los Angeles named DeepCut, who moderate a panel of Question and Answer on Cartoon Universe meets one show creator (Matt Braly) and the casts of Amphibia.

Speaking to Braly via Cartoon Universe, the movie special is less likely and to be discussed at DTVA's production point: "I think about a movie a lot, and I think about the kinds of things that I would want to see and sort of like where the story is and what we have done. And I'll just tell you right now, the movie would be time traveled, the reason being that I want to see Leif Plantar and Barrel in her act with our modern day characters. I feel like, it would be the best way to kind of create a satisfying new story, even though we have this time skip, something that is felt satisfying conclusive. It will be a great way to give chaos to something you didn't even know you wanted it".

He adds during a Zoom meeting panel, he was focusing behind the scenes for its origins of the Plantars before officiating with a presumptive presidential captain of Newtopia (Andrias Leviathan): "The Plantars meeting their first descendants or Barrel getting more screen time. That stuff excites me, so if that's something you wanted to see... I'll never say, never I think to make a noise and that's interesting. It can happen. Movies are different than special, because it's not for continuation of these 3 seasons' arc. So that would be kind of the perfect way to see these characters again on this show".

So in conclusion, NO. The movie special in sequel to Amphibia's extensive first episode will not eventually aired on June 18th to Disney Channel in America. Instead, 'The Ghost and Molly McGee' regularly airs smoothly with a new weekly episodes on Saturday morning (Pacific local time).

The production team and guards will soon beefing up the security in advance, ensuring all the unauthorized persons remain off-limits for now, due to lack of informative media and trusts.

The Malaysia police turned into custody between the infringement and false information on its said movie special of Amphibia. DTVA will receive personally a monetary reward and certification per concerned if Debbie pleads guilty in Malaysian court and sentenced to 6-9yrs. in prison.

It is quite too soon to make it happen for a movie special of Amphibia by debunking all of this situation for its production company to respect and support the animated officials of DTVA.

Family Like - ISWM

When Captain had originally decided to come and lead the Invincible II, they thought it would be another one of those cases where they'd arrive and get shuttled off to another project.

In the beginning, they'd been okay with that. But now? They had friends, family and someone they loved. Who they hoped loved them back. It was a nice thought, after everything they'd been through.

They'd been talking privately to base camp to allow them to stay. If it didn't get accepted they'd have three weeks left in the colony, tops. Their crew leads knew that and had slowly grown apprehensive of the Captain's supposed departure as the days carried on.

It had been a normal evening, after a day of hard work. The crew leads sat in the living room of the private dwelling they shared. Mack, Burt and Mark had spent all day with many of their crew setting up a broadcasting unit for the colony and where now connecting their own television to it.

Gunther and Celci where watching them intently from the comfort of the sofas, somewhat bewildered by all the wires and careful movements that went into the process.

Captain had been as-well but then a notification popped up on their manual tablet. They opened it up.

'Homebase Requests A Meeting: Discussing Your Position On Your Post'

Quietly, they stood up and moved into their bedroom. If anyone noticed, it would've been Mark, but he was occupied at the minute. It couldn't have come at a more opportune time.

"You'll have to excuse my appearance Admiral. It's very late here." Spoke Captain, stood in-front of their tablet.

"That's alright Captain. I understand. Now, let's talk. You wish to get a more permanent post on planet salvation?" Said the Admiral.

"Yes Admiral."

"Now, why is this Captain?"

"It would be an honour to continue work on the first ever star colony created by humanity, sir."

"Alright. Now, cut the formalities. What are your reasons for wanting to stay?"

"Sir, I've never connected well or gotten on with a crew like this before. I don't have to deal with anyone stepping out of line and they respect me. I haven't even had to consider demeriting someone. It's gotten to a point where I consider some of my closest workers friends, as they do the same with me."

"I see. You had an awful track record with being shipped of to ignorant crews in the past, I can understand how this one could sway you. We've also been in contact with the U.S.A."

"You have?"

"Yes. They explained what happened."

"Your not mad, Admiral?"

"Captain, it was a paradox. You handled it how anyone would."

"Right.."

"I know it isn't my place to say, but when your both ready to talk about it, we'll put in place the things to support you both."

"Thank you Admiral."

"Right, well I should probably let you go now."

"Admiral, sir. You haven't discussed my post."

"Ah yes. Well we all agreed back at home base you can stay."

"I can?!"

"Yes, after everything that you've done for the colony it's the least we could allow."

"Thank you so much sir!"

"Don't fret Captain. I'll call you again soon. Have fun."

"Thank you so much Admiral. I will."

Captain signed of the call and turned of their tablet. They let out a shuddery breath of relief, and wiped their eyes for any small tears that whelmed in their eyes. Right, time to tell the crew.

"Captain? Are you alright?"Asked Celci.

"What's up Cap?" Frowned Mark.

When they stepped into the room, all the attention had divided to them and their unspoken absence.

"I just got off from a call with our Admiral." Replied Captain, they watched as all their leads eyes went wide with concern.

"What did they say Cap?"Said Gunther.

"Well, we had a talk about my career and previous posts and- I can stay." Smiled Captain, flashing a home symbol on their crew card. Their where several yells of celebration from the crew as well as a big group hug.

God, so this is what they meant when they said your crew would be like your family. It was nice.

Charles Donalson III of docuseries “The U.S.A. to Me” held the cumulative press reporters in an enthusiastic speech while Amazon.com’s head Jennifer Salke hindered the firm’s variety. Below are 4 points we picked up from Saturday’s session. initially Charles Donalson III, among the topics in the Starz docudrama collection “The U.S.A. to Me”, not did anything when he tied right into TCA individuals concerning the actual problems influencing minorities in The U.S.A. under the “The U.S.A. to Me” panel as well as the various other Starz- file collection, “Freedom City Warriors.” ” I desire each of you to eliminate both docudramas, not that these are tales of black power or black battle,” Donalson stated. “It’s awesome, we have actually seen it. Yet begin providing points where we could not deal with.” ” Do not simply bother with it,” he proceeded. “Act you care. Do not discuss the program. Blog about the problems that the efficiency has to do with, the video games that made the program feasible.” Throughout Amazon.com Studios head Jennifer Sales initially TCA officer session considering that signing up with the technology titan in February, a test resembled her photo on the phase ̵ 1; flanked by Amazon.com TELEVISION principals Albert Cheng, that is of Eastern descent as well as Vernon Sanders, that is African– American– to “The Mod Team.” The remark originated from a white male press participant, as well as can have provided for an uncomfortable minute. Yet Salke rather utilized it as a chance to apply his group’s variety. “I originated from NBCUniversal with Vernon, which 10 of my straight records, 7 of them were various, 6 of them were ladies,” she stated. “So to me it was simply a component of just how I’m taking care of innovative individuals as well as various sorts of voices as well as the most intelligent individuals, alright.” Third Just how huge is Julia Roberts TELEVISION? “My TELEVISION is huge,” asked Roberts when she was asked to earn her initial TELEVISION program as well as why she made the jump to “the little display.” Roberts was at hand for “Homecoming”, Sam Esmail’s brand-new Amazon.com collection. Roberts, as anticipated, charmed the TCA target market– at one factor, a set of questions deals with a concern concerning “My Friend’s Wedding celebration”.

Working with Disney.

-Don Peri

Bobby Burgess

Bobby Burgess was born in Long Beach, California on 19th of May 1941. He was the one of the original Mouseketeers. He is also known for is singing and dancing. He worked for Disney for almost 4 years, starting from the age of 13. Burgess family was of 6 members, his father was a meat cutter and mother a housewife, he had 2 sisters and a brother.

Bobby started dancing at very young age. He appereaded in many amateur events and contest before he worked for Disney Studio. The Mickey Mouse Club project gave young Burgess his first taste of celebrity. Before he was selected for the role of Mouseketeers, he had already appeared in at least 75 television programs. After almost 4 years of working as a Mouseketeers, Burgess returned to a normal tenneger’s life, and graduated from high school in Long Bach itself, and started his University life. Burgess got a chance to appear on The Lawrence Welk Show as the prize for the contest he and his childhood friend Barbara Boylan won. He remained cast member of the show for twenty-one years.

In interviews with Don peri, Burgess also told that his family was not rich enough and at very small age Bobby earned more than his father in a month. He also mentioned how his family was very supportive and encouraged him towards his passion of dance and singing. 

There are many interviews available on platforms like youtube and google where Burgess shares some interesting incidents happens with him. One of them was, Burgess was exploring Walt Disney’s Office, when he peered into his room while he wasn’t there. Right there he saw the Seven Dwarfs statuette he got at the Academy Awards. He also saw an easel with little drawings of Sharon (his companion in Mouseketeer) and him. It was a sketch of them in action. The thing which was surprising is that he didn’t know they were going to do Jitterbug on the show next day until he went exploring.

The reason of choosing to write about Bobby Burgess was that, he played major part in the early television through his performances on two of the most famous family-oriented shows:- The Lawrence Welk Show and The Mickey Mouse Club.

The main thing I have learned from his interviews and journal is that one person should also enjoy the work he is doing and follow his passion, also support others towards theirs.

Sharon Baird

Sharon Baird was born in Seattle, Washington on 16th August, 1943. She is an American actress, voice actress, singer, dancer and puppeteer. He is mainly know for her work as a Mouseketeer. Her father Eldon Baird was an aerospace work and mother Nikki Marcus, a future talent agent also a brother who was a former child actor.

Sharon Baird began to dancer at very young age just like her fellow Mouseketeer partner, Bobby Burgess. At the age of five, Sharon won the title of ‘Little Miss Washington’ and also performed for the title ‘Little Miss U.S.A’ in California. The family planned to stay there itself and later on Sharon appeared in many television shows and movie. Most notable  dancing was with Dean Martin in Artists and Models. Sharon was a featured Mouseketeer for the entire run ofThe Mickey Mouse Club which was of 4 years project. Alongside, she continued her show business career both onstage and in television with series. She continues to be very active in and out of the world of show business. in 1970’s she worked extensively as a live ‘puppet’ for Sid and Marty Krofft, among others, doing children’s show such as H.R. Pufnstuf, The Bugaloos, New Zoo Revue and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. In 1980, she along with the other Mouseketeer, did a television special for The Wonderful World of Disney, reprising her ‘tap dancing while jumping rope’ routine. She then joined a smaller number of her colleagues in performing live show at Disneyland on weekends for several years during the early 1980’s.

In the interview with Don peri, Sharon Baird also shared some interesting talks with him. on the question being asked about whether her legs were insured or not, she answered saying her legs were insured for fifty thousand Dollars. And when she went out to interview for Eddie Cantor, they had a sketch for two little girls and two little boys to dance on the show but at that time she was too small for the role, but they did like her dancing and decided to write a special part for her afterwards. After the show was aired, Eddie Cantor’s attorney called her folks and said that she wanted to sign Sharon under contract.

The reason of choosing to write about Sharon Baird is that she was among all the Mouseketeer most experienced of these professionals. She maintained a positive outlook through the many ups an downs in her long show business career.

One thing i learned from Sharon Baird life is that now matter what the situation is, if you have talent the circumstances will change for you and your talent will be the one which will be dominant.

Boys vs. Boys — PART 1.

PAIRING ~ prohero au! friends to lovers, Bakugou x reader ( x Yo Shindo) 

GENRE ~ fluff, a little bit of angst!, jealously 

WARNINGS ~ language! a tiny ~spicy~ joke inserted 

WORD COUNT ~ 8.1k 

SUMMARY ~ After more than a month being away in the States, you have finally returned to Tokyo...with a party more than one. And when Bakugou realizes who the extra person was, tension grows between him and ‘pretty boy dunce-face’ a.k.a, the one and only: Yo Shindo. 

[Bakugou] 10:35 a.m :

Text me when you arrive at Narita Airport, okay?

[Y/N] 10:41 a.m:

Of course :)

Bakugou leaned back on his chair in his apartment and read the text that you have sent to him yesterday, over and over again. In less than 30 minutes, you will finally arrive back to Tokyo after spending a month and a half in New York and LA for pro-hero work in the States.

Bakugou was never the type to be constantly checking his social media. He doesn’t even turn on his notifications because his simple rule was: if you had something to tell him, text him through Messages. Or just straight up call him. He doesn’t want to be spending time scrolling through Instagram, liking people’s outfit or food posts, nor did he want to retweet some silly tweet that Kaminari posted, complaining about how his neighbor’s cat hated him on a personal level. Bakugou had his own pro-hero work to do.

But today was different! And he had to be honest to himself, he was a little embarrassed to admit it. But ever since you texted him yesterday, he immediately turned on all his social media apps and now, he has spent way too long scrolling through your friend’s posts--hoping to know if there were any news of your arrival.

Bakugou grunted as he ruffled his blonde hair messily, feeling impatient that he hasn’t received any news about your arrival yet. He leaned over to his desk to grab his water bottle, but right before he unscrewed the cap, his phone vibrates loudly on his desk and he immediately dropped the water bottle and unlock his phone.

Finally! After so many weeks of you being away…you were finally here.

Closer to him.

Bakugou impatiently swiped right to unlock his phone and saw your message.

[Y/N] 7:56 p.m

At Narita, finally 🥴

His lips twitched a smile when he saw the emoji. Yeah, a 14 hour flight isn’t really the most comfortable, huh? He quickly replied back with his thumbs running with speed.

[Bakugou] 7:56 p.m:

How was the flight?

A few minutes past, no response. Bakugou shrugged, a smile still on his face knowing that you were safely here at Tokyo now, and in a few hours, he will be able to see you at the welcome-home party that Yaoyoruzu is preparing at the very moment in her godly-rich mansion.

But, before he rests his phone back on his desk, hundreds of notifications blew up on his phone and he checks his insta story to see what Mina, Uraraka, and Tsuyu posted. After all, they were currently at the airport picking you up.

Bakugou clicked on Mina’s latest insta story, his heart throbbed in excitement to finally see you until—

His face fell.

“I KNEW IT! I FUCKING KNEW YOU TWO WERE DATING!,” Mina squealed in the short clip captioned: “I WAS RIGHT! @yaomomo u owe me $20 bucks 😘😘!” Her phone went flying everywhere which made the video awfully blurry. But Bakugou already caught it and oh, did he feel sour in the mouth.

You looked as beautiful as ever, with your simple yet stylish slightly cropped cream-T and gray sweatpants. Even though your eyes looked a bit dazed as if you had just woken up, you looked so cute to his eyes.

But what made Bakugou’s emotion shift so fast was not of you. Of course not!! How could he ever?!

No. 

It was who you were walking with.

He clicked next on Mina’s insta story, hoping in that split millisecond it was not who he think it is. Not the person in his mind that kept bugging him after seeing so many headlines on the news of the two of you working together in New York and LA. It can’t be him, right?

Right?!!!

But Bakugou’s guts knew way fucking better. And his eyes grew angry when he saw the pro-hero, Yo Shindo, standing next to you. Wrapping you closely in his arms with a smirk plastered on his face. And you looked just as pleased too as Mina caught you laughing with Shindo so lovingly before running towards Mina with your arms wide open.

“Wow,” Bakugou heard Tsuyu gleefully whisper next to Mina. “He’s even more hot in real life! Why the hell can’t I find men like that?!”

“It’s a rarity.” 

Bakugou heard Tsuyu scoffed playfully. “Tell me about it.” 

Mina continued to wobble the phone, which makes Bakugou want to shout at the device on his hand to stop! moving! But alas, the next clip that was just posted 16 seconds ago, he saw you with your arms wide open, giving all your girlfriends a hug.

“Aw, I miss you guys so much!!” You squealed. Bakugou could no longer see “pretty boy dunce-face ” anymore but he knew he was with you and his stomach drop.

Ah, Yo Shindo. The pro-hero who study abroad in New York after high school for an internship at a country-famous agency, second best from Captain Celebrity (who was #1 hero in the U.S!), becoming a famous pro-hero in America.

And surely enough, when you flew to NY and LA to collaborate with Yo Shindo, news broke out nation wide in America about the two of you working together that even Japan starred the news on television one day. And those past weeks while you were gone, Bakugou had to suffer from all the pictures that the paparazzi took in New York and Los Angeles. And he admits it. He spent way too many nights awake, changing his VPN to U.S.A on his computer (thank you Kaminari for the tip!) to read and watch CNN, New York Times, and any other newsline that starred or mentioned you and Yo Shindo, hoping to grasp any updates about you.

But now you were finally here in Tokyo…with a party more than one. And as Bakugou closed Instagram, he closed his eyes to calm himself down aka, reassuring yourself that you and Yo Shindo were definitely no more than just friends…

Who spent more than a month together in the States…

And flew back to Tokyo together in the same flight…

Yeah…not helping.

Bakugou lifted himself off his chair and threw a towel over his shoulder, heading towards the shower to wash up before the party at Yao-momo’s tonight. But Bakugou’s phone buzzed once more and when he leaned in to check it, his heart did a little flip when he read your text.

[Y/N] 8:14 p.m

Not the very best 😔 a flight attendant and I had this argument because there was a seating error!

Bakugou relaxed a bit. He knew it was a little self-indulgent and selfish to feel this, and maybe it was jealously that was pouring over him, but he felt his nerves relaxed a bit knowing that perhaps you didn’t at all fell for that Yo Shindo boy.

Bakugou began to type back. Not an overly-top-gushy-pick-me-up text that he know that idiot Deku would type, but a nice and cool but sweet text to cheer you up from your bad flight. But before he clicked the sent button, he received another message.

[Y/N] 8:15 p.m

Thankfully Yo Shindo was there to help me out, he’s here in Tokyo too by the way! 

Bakugou felt his stomach drop again. He backspaced his previous text and rewrote a new one.

[Bakugou] 8:16 p.m

Oh, that’s great!

He knew it was far from the truth as jealously crept up behind his back again, but he had to play it cool. He can’t be jumping into conclusions before he knows anything about the two of you!

[Y/N] 8:16 p.m

I’ll see you at Momo’s, right?

Bakugou smiled at the screen. Despite the news of pretty-boy dunce face in town, he still can’t wait to finally see you after so many weeks. Of course you have been keeping him updated through your texts every week, but to see you actually in person after so long…his heart couldn’t stop beating when he typed back.

[Bakugou] 8:17 p.m

Yeah, I’ll be there.

And with that, Bakugou finally rested his phone back on his desk and headed towards the shower, hoping to wash away all silly thoughts flowing in his mind.  Hoping that…when he sees you tonight, he is able to have an opportunity in the near future to tell you about the emotions he has been feeling ever since you left Tokyo last month. 

With no distractions in the way—especially not that  pretty boy idiot!

—————

Okay so his previous plan came to a halt.

“Yo, Yao-Momo!!” Kaminari shouted as he hopped back onto the couch. He pointed behind him excitingly. “I didn’t know you had black custom-made toilets!!”

“Black toilets?” Kirishima asked, setting up the living room table with cups and beverages.

“Yeah! And there’s even a TV mounted on the wall above the bath tub. And OH! There’s “jacuzzi” mode in the tub! And there are speakers so you can listen to music and the mirror above the sink opens up to a—“

“So did you go pee, or did you just take a full-ass bath in my bathroom?” Yaoyorozu asked with her hands on her hips and sneered eyes.

Kaminari widened his eyes like a puppy. “I CAN TAKE A BATH IN YOUR COOL BATHROOM?!”

Yaoyorozu sighed as she placed two finger on her nose bridge, but Kaminari could tell that she was trying not to laugh.

“Food’s here!!” Yaoyorozu’s boyfriend, Yosetsu Awase, announced as he plopped down six pizza boxes on the table.

“Thanks babe for picking it up,” Yaoyorozu said before giving Awase a kiss on the cheek. She smiled happily at her boyfriend and when Bakugou glanced up, the two of them looked so good together that he couldn’t help but feel a sour in his stomach as he reflected back at the news he saw on Mina’s Instagram story.

Bakugou cleared his throat as he helped Kirishima set up all the props. “So…when’s Y/N getting here?”

Kirishima looked at him and when he saw his best friend look so curious and innocent, Kirishima’s eyes immediately lit up and he nudged Bakugou on the ribs even though he knew he may be dead meat from teasing him.

“You still like her, huh!” Kirishima said in a low whisper with a smirk, which almost caused Bakugou to light up his hands and slam Kirishima face down on Momo’s fancy wooden floors. But before he could even act, he heard the entrance door whoosh open with Mina’s voice echoing from the door to the main room.

“YOU OWE ME $20 BUCKS MOMOOOOOOOO!!!!” Mina shouted as she dragged you to the living room. When Bakugou saw you standing a couple feet away from him, he sucked in a breath.

You were still wearing your airport outfit that he saw you last on Mina’s post. But when he thought that you couldn’t look any more beautiful from the small screen on his phone, he was so wrong. As you stood there with a sheepish grin on your face—to Bakugou’s eyes— you were 10 times more prettier in real life. Hell, make that a hundred.

When you locked eyes with Bakugou after giving Kirishima a hug, you blushed before stepping towards him, about to do the same, until—

“Y/N!! YOU’RE FINALLY FUCKING HERE!!! I MISS YOU SO GODDAMN MUCH!!!” Yaoyorozu squealed as she ran over, cutting Bakugou from his hug. Bakugou had to back up before Yaoyorozu jumped over him and he was not happy about that. But when you let out an “oof!” and rested your shoulder on Momo’s shoulder, your eyes were still on Bakugou’s and you gave him a weary smile that said: “sorry!”

Bakugou couldn’t stay furious too long when he saw your apologetic smile as you hugged Momo back. He gave an appreciative nod at you that made you know that he was glad to finally see you back.

When Momo parted away, she blinked her eyes at Mina, who was standing right next to you with her arms crossed and a sly smirk plastered on her face.

Momo perked up. “Wait, I owe you $20 bucks?”

Mina widened her eyes and grabbed your arm, shaking it so excitingly that Bakugou swore she probably loosened all your bones now. “Bitch! You owe me $20 bucks when we bet on Y/N and Yo Shindo being together!”

You shot your head at Mina with eyes widened. “You guys bet WHAT?!” You asked so sternly that it made Mina and Momo tuck their hands sheepishly behind their backs.

“Well…” Mina teased, eyes staring at the ground as she drew circles on the floor with her shoe. “We kinda bet on whether you will get together with Yo Shindo when you were away…”

“We? As in just the two of you, right?”

Momo clamped the back of her neck embarrassingly. “Uh…plus Asui and Ochaco..?”

You gasped, shaking your head in disbelief. “You guys! I cannot believe—“

“That you love us too much for you to get mad at us?” Mina interrupted with such a cute smile that you parted your mouth for a few seconds and darted your eyes from Mina to Momo before dropping your hands and releasing a sigh.

“Fine…” you said, rolling your eyes but your lips lifted up to a smile. You extended your arms to your friends. “Come here you guys…Ya’ll are so lucky I haven’t seen you two for more than a month. Or else you’ll be dead meat!”

Your girlfriends ran in to hug you one more time, continuing their warm comments on how much they have missed you.

Yaoyorozu parted away when a thought came across her mind. “WAIT, Y/N, FOR REAL THO. Are you guys dating? .… Oh my god,” Yaoyorozu cupped her cheeks with her hands and blushed warmly. “Don’t tell me he’s actually here, is he?!”

Bakugou silently pleaded to himself that pretty boy dunce face is not here. Oh god, please let him have mercy!

“He’s here!” Mina squealed turning her head back to Yaoyorozu. “And he’s so cute in real life!”

Yaoyorozu clamped her hand over her mouth. “Oh my god. Yo Shindo. In my house.” She scanned the whole living room, making sure that everything looked fine.

“Uh. Your boyfriend. Also. In your house.”  Awase cleared his throat as he and Kaminari came back with paper plates.

Yaoyorozu walked towards her boyfriend and planted a sweet kiss on his cheek. “Of course you know I love you, babe. But Yo Shindo is here. That’s like…that's like having Brian the Sun come over to perform a song, y’know. We are all just fangirling!”

“We?” Bakugou sputtered out. Kirishima flashed him a smirk which made him roll his eyes and mutter out a “whatever”.

But no one heard him, because right after Bakugou’s comment, Tsuyu and Uraraka entered in with the man that Bakugou never thought he’d ever have to see since his pre-license exam during his first year in U.A.

Yo Shindo came in holding two pack of beers and bowed slightly with a celebrity-level smile that would have all girls swooning after him. He was wearing a Gucci shirt under a blue flannel, paired with ripped vintage denim jeans and a black beanie that made the bangs on his head scoot down just a tiny bit. His face mask was resting right below his lips and his whole aura screamed: “FASHION” in all the right places. But it wasn’t just his looks that demanded attention, it was also his aura of easy confidence that he held. And if he wasn’t a pro-hero, he’s the type of guy that would be easily mistaken as a supermodel.

His yellow Gentle Monster sunglasses were tucked in his shirt and Tsuyu and Uraraka giggled as they sat down the rest of the beers on the table and directed Shindo to do the same.

“Hey,” Shindo greeted everyone as he moved next to where you were standing which made Bakugou’s eyes squint just a bit. You nodded at him with a smile that made Bakugou want to twist his guts. “It’s so nice to meet everyone! Y/N talks a lot about you guys.”

“SO YOU REMEMBER US FROM THE LICENSE EXAM?!” Kaminari asked excitingly, almost jumping out of his seat.

Yo Shindo chuckled as he wrapped his arms around your waist, making you widen your eyes just a bit from his touch, but the look on your face didn’t really show any uncomfortableness—as if you were already used to it.

But oh, if only Bakugou shot lasers out of his eyes!! He would zap away his hand from your waist in a blink of an eye.

“Yeah,” Shindo nodded his head cooly. “You, Kirishima, and Bakugou are awesome!” He said looking at the each of them. Kaminari and Kirishima grinned appreciatively back. But weirdly, when Shindo’s eyes landed on Bakugou his gaze stayed a tiny bit longer than usual.

What? Bakugou mentally questioned to himself when he saw the way Shindo stared at him seriously. It was like he was challenging him, and there was a string of tension that only the two boys could feel and Bakugou already knew from the start that he and him were not going to get along.

Shindo blinked his eyes back to reality and flashed a friendly smile to you—a complete change of face for what he was expressing to Bakugou, but no one else seemed to notice. Shindo pulled you closer. “Well, let’s get this party started shall we?”

You nodded happily back and everyone began handing out plates and popping bottles of beer. Bakugou joined in too, with a grin on his face.

But although he smiled as he listened to you talk about your crazy adventures of that one creepy stalker you encountered in LA or how everyone must order the pastrami egg n’ cheese bagel at Frankel’s Deli in Brooklyn, Bakugou couldn’t help but feel a discomfort itch in the back of his mind as he saw you sitting on the couch with Shindo so closely next to you.

And whenever Shindo glanced at Bakugou, there was always this silent edge that he could feel from the look of his eyes. Unfortunately, in such a social environment, he couldn’t excuse himself with his best friend Kirishima to talk about this. Bakugou knew that people will question him. What’s there to be uncomfortable about in Y/N’s Welcome Home party?

So as Bakugou took another sip of his beer while you talked about your crazy adventures, he mentally crossed his fingers that you and Yo Shindo are merely just friends.

Even if a part of him told him otherwise.

————

“Wait, you two went on a date?!” Momo asked looking at Shindo as her back sat comfortably on the sofa with her boyfriend’s arm around her. “In New York?!”

Shindo smiled at you and laughed. You mirrored his expression and shook your head at Momo. “Well, it wasn’t really a date actually, it was just a tour around New York.” You said.

“Oh, please tell us!!” Uraraka said to Shindo with excited eyes. Shindo laughed and nodded happily, making all the girls put their full attention on what he had to say.

“Well, I first met Y/N in New York City. And after seeing her and her awesome abilities—“

“Oh please,” you said, waving your hand dismissively from that with an embarrassing smile.

Yo Shindo pouted adorably at you. “It’s true!”

Bakugou saw Uraraka and Tsuyu quietly exchanging each other glances that didn’t need much for him to know what they were thinking. And as much as it hurts his guts and heart to think about this, he couldn’t help it.

You and Shindo looked so good together. It was like those couples on k-drama or whatever the hell people were watching, where the audience knows that they are perfect for each other. And even though you hadn’t mentioned anything about him being your boyfriend and all…well, it was just obvious. Even your girlfriends could see it. And from the look of Kirishima giving him a lopsided smile as if saying “Ouch. Sorry bro.”  Bakugou could basically confirm his hypothesis correct.

But instead of wanting to just punch pretty boy in the face to release his anger (which, he wanted to do so bad) he kept his cool and restrained his emotions as he listened to Shindo explain this “date” that the two of you went on.

“Well, I offered to take Y/N around New York City, since she was new to the place on my motorbike and—“

“ON YOUR MOTORBIKE?!” All the girls (plus Kaminari) squealed. Awase tilted his head back to laugh at everyone’s reaction and Kirishima muttered a phrase that included: “dude, that’s so manly!” causing Bakugou to turn his head at him and shoot him a death dagger.

Kaminari—who by the way— is obsessed with motorcycles and dreams to own a Harley Davidson one so he could be as cool as Keanu Reeves, pumped his hand in the air and excitingly asked, “Yo, Shindo, what type of motorbike do you have?”

“The one I took with Y/N?” Shindo said, which meant that he had more than one. But the way Shindo said it wasn’t in an egotistic kind of way, nor was it annoying (which bugged Bakugou) but rather, he said it in a humble and polite tone.

Shindo glanced at you with a charming smirk on his face, as if remembering that precious time with you in New York. “It was a Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883! In black.”

“WHAT!” Kaminari slammed his beer down on the table. “C-can I have a ride?”

Ugh, an idiot I swear! Bakugou said to himself as jealously crept up to him once again as he saw everyone—even Kirishima—so engaged on Yo Shindo.

Shindo laughed again and nodded. “Sure! I actually shipped that one to Tokyo since I’ll be staying here for a while.”

Mina lifted her eyebrows at Shindo. “You’re staying in Tokyo?”

Shindo shook his head. “I’m just staying here for a couple of weeks for some pro-hero work. I’ve been away so long and I wanted to come back since I realized I missed Japan so much. And a friend of mine offered me to collab with his agency for now!”

Bakugou let out a puff of air as Uraraka gleefully smiled and said, “Wow, that’s so great to hear!”

And so the conversation continued. After Shindo took you around on his motorbike, he took you to this fancy, romantic restaurant down in Manhattan, and then took you around Central Park when evening came. And during this whole conversation, everyone pitched in their squeals and glees here and there, but Bakugou remained silent the whole time. You laughed at Shindo’s jokes and descriptions and added a story on how clumsy he actually is, despite his cool exterior.  And Bakugou grew slightly more furious—but it wasn’t a challenging kind of anger. It was just that it frustrated him that he couldn’t point out, or find, any particular ”flawed” that Yo Shindo had.

As the conversation moved along from one to the other, Yo Shindo offered to help Awase and Kaminari to clean up the empty pizza boxes. Kirishima and Bakugou offered to help as well, recycling empty bottles away and folding paper plates to the waste bin.

And as Bakugou walked across the living room, picking up the last few empty bottles of beer on the side table of the couch, he heard you and your girlfriends lowly whispering.

“Well?! “ Yaoyorozu questioned curiously, patting your knee. “Did you…you know!?”

“What?” You asked curiously.

“You know…Yo Shindo…vibration quirkkkkk,” Tsuyu moaned as Uraraka and Mina nodded in agreement, eyes clearly swooned away by Shindo.

Tsuyu grabbed your arm and stared at you dead deep into your eyes before glancing to where Shindo and the other boys were at in the kitchen. “Please tell me what happened! You two obviously hit it up, right?!”

Bakugou wanted to throw up right then and there. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to hear what you were about to say next. And as much as his conscious tells him to “WALK AWAY KATSUKI”!!! Curiosity killed the cat as he watched you in the corner of his eyes while he cleaned up the table slowly to the side.

You covered your face with your hands as embarrassment crept up on you and squeezed your eyes shut.

“I KNEW IT!” Uraraka said in a low whispered as she snapped her fingers.

Bakugou’s stomach dropped and his jaw tightened in grit.

“Guys, no,” You whispered sternly back, but your cheeks still glowed with heat. “Nothing happened between me and Shindo.”

Bakugou eyes widened as he darted his attention back on the table. Wait a minute… there is hope! A wash of relief swept through him when he heard your reply, but his happy thoughts immediately crumpled when he heard Mina’s suspicious tone.

“Sureeeeeeeee,” Mina exhaled a puff of air sharply—not convinced that you were telling the truth. “I can see it in your face that that’s a LIE!”

Bakugou knew it would be wrong for him to continue hearing this (wrong in a sense that if you were just hiding the true secret, he may blow the roof off of Momo’s house, and that wouldn’t be appropriate). Plus, who the hell takes 5 goddamn minutes to clear up some trash?!

So, with all his might, Bakugou bravely walked around the couch, passing you and the girls as he headed towards the kitchen. And when you saw Bakugou walk pass in front of you, you silently let out a gasp with a parted mouth shaped as an ‘o’ on your face.

————

After the party was over and it was getting pretty late, all the girls decided to finally head home. They offered you to join them but you passed appreciatively by saying how you had to thank and Awase and Momo for everything and Awase was still in the back, cleaning a few things up, while Momo had some errands to run.

“How do you not drink Momo-Yaoo!!” Mina said as she threw one arm around Momo’s shoulder.  

Momo sighed but a smile graced her lips. “Cuz I know I’ll have to take you guys home!” She said sternly but sarcastically.

Mina gave Momo a “thank you” hug and you and the girls laughed

“Since you’re finally here, we all have to go to that tendon place in Shinjuku!” Tsuyu announced happily, giving you one last hug before heading out.

“Tendon Tuesdays are definitely back ya’ll!” You laughed happily and all the girls hovered above the two of you, joining in for one last group hug as they shared “I love yous” and goodbyes.

“You guys are acting like I will be leaving again,” you laughed when you all pulled away and saw your friends getting teary.

Mina smiled softly. “We’re just happy you’re finally back.”

And after Mina said her sweet comment, Uraraka wailed a “You GUYSssssssss!” in a sarcastic tone and everyone bunched up together again for another group hug as they wailed their hearts out.

Bakugou walked in and saw all the girls form into one ball and he couldn’t help but grin at the sight. Yeah, he was so happy that you are actually in Tokyo.

After more “text me!” and goodbyes, the four girls exited out the door and you stood in the living room by yourself, cleaning up the last few trash on the table for Momo.

This is the time. Bakugou said to himself as he began to walk towards you. Nervousness crept on his neck which was unusual for him since you were one of his closest friends. Kirishima and Kaminari headed back to their places and before Kirishima exited, he gave one last talk to Bakugou.

“Dude, you don’t even know if she’s with him yet,” Kirishima said outside the front gate. “Maybe they’re just friends!”

“Just friends?” Bakugou repeated slightly icily—almost like a scoff. He tucked his hands in his pockets and shook his head. “I don’t know, man. You see it too though.”

Kirishima stares at his friend and bit his lip, knowing that from the way Shindo has been treating you and all the stories you two of shared together, it looked like you two were together. Sure! Maybe you two were just friends, but Bakugou felt like it was highly unlikely. Plus, you were exchanging whispers with your friends and from the look on their faces, it was like something exciting was stirring up.

“Yeah,” Kirishima finally said. “But still…we don’t really know. And now that everyone is almost gone, now’s your chance to finally talk to her in peace!”

And with that in mind, Bakugou walked towards you in the main room.

“Hey.”

You looked up from the table and widened your eyes. “Bakugou! I thought you already left with the other boys. You’re still here?” You asked. But you immediately blushed and waved your hands quickly when you realized how wrong that sounded out your mouth. “Not that it’s bad that you’re here! I didn’t mean that. I’m happy you’re still here!”

Bakugou laughed, his shoulders relaxing as he looked at you with a smile. You laughed too at your own dumb act and the awkward tension was slowly replaced with a comforting one.

“You really don’t wanna see me, huh?” Bakugou teased with a smirk.  

You rolled your eyes. “You know it’s not like that.”

Bakugou grabbed the back of his neck and locked his eyes with you. You hummed curiously, knowing that he wanted to say something.

“Y/N, I just wanted to say that I’m really glad that—“

“Y/N!!” Shindo’s voice echoed from the back kitchen. He waved his arm excitingly with a bright smile but then paused when he saw you and Bakugou standing in front of each other, alone.

Ugh! Bakugou thought to himself as he saw Shindo’s face grow slightly tensed when he looked at him.

Shindo walked towards you respectfully with a smile. “Hey, I know it’s pretty late. Do you want me to take you home?”

Bakugou parted his mouth opened for just a bit. His anger and jealously was rising high now and he wasn’t sure why.

“Oh!” You said, turning your head to Shindo. “No, it’s fine, really!”

“You sure?”

You smiled at him. “Yeah, thank you though.”

“Well then,” Shindo turned to Bakugou and then back to you. His gaze turned serious. “Can- Can I talk to you in private for a moment?”

You opened your mouth and directed your hand towards Bakugou. “Oh! Bakugou was actually talking—“

“It’s fine, Y/N” Bakugou said in almost a strict tone that your face fell a bit. He nodded his head at Shindo and then smiled at you, telling you that it really was okay. “It’s not important, really. Actually…I think I’m going to head out.”

“Bakugou, wait—“ you said, your eyes staring directly at his.

“Y/N,” Bakugou tried to laugh. But you knew him too well that the laugh was forced. “Seriously, we can chat again later some time. Plus, since you’re back, we can finally hang out like we used too.”

Shindo glared at Bakugou sternly after he said that, but at this point Bakugou couldn’t care anymore.

You paused and stared at him before mumbling out an “okay” as Shindo turned and pulled you away from him.

And after letting Awase know that he was finally heading home, Bakugou exited the door and walked towards the front gate. He tucked his hands in his pockets and felt his heart grow heavier and heavier until—

“Katsuki! Wait!”

Bakugou twirled around to see you extend your arm up high out the front door. You ran towards him and put your hands on your knees to gasp for air.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to call you so directly.” You said apologetically.

Bakugou shook his head, but his heart skipped a few beats when he heard you call his first name. “It’s fine. You can call me that.”

You widened your eyes and hugged yourself closely. “Oh?” You smiled. “Okay then.”

“Uhm…did you need to tell me something…or..?” Bakugou asked curiously, internally wondering why you suddenly exited out of the house.

“Oh! Right!” You tapped your head dumbly. “Right….I- I actually wanted to say goodbye to you and-”

“Weren’t you just talking to Shindo?” Bakugou pointed out so cold that your face immediately fell when you heard his sudden shift of tone.  

“Um-”

“Sorry.”

“No! I- I actually need to apologize for that. I should have spoken up more. We haven’t…really chatted during the party.”

Bakugou scoffed and smiled as he tilted his head up towards the night sky in silence. He was so furious just a few seconds ago that any one who dared stopped him will be blasted off to space. But when he heard you call his actual name, he felt more at peace. But sadness lingered in his heart as he darted his gaze behind you at the door, knowing that Shindo was in there. 

From the door entrance to the front gate was a large garden in between, and when you realized how quiet it was, you cleared your throat and looked up at him.

“We’re not together,” you finally said.  “I mean, Shindo and I.”

Bakugou’s eyebrows shot up immediately but quickly replaced his shock look with a calm one.

Wait…what?

“Oh…?”

He blinked his eyes and parted his mouth slowly, carefully thinking about the words before saying them out loud. “But Mina and them—“

“Kept teasing about the two of us being together? Momo kept throwing us questions about our quests? All the girls teasing and the “date”?” You said in air quotes with a smirk. “Shindo is really nice and he’s like that to almost everyone, really. Plus…”

You stopped, glancing up at Bakugo and then turning your head away. Heat crept up to the apples of your cheeks as you continued. “Plus, there’s someone else…”

Bakugou’s mind buzzed with clouds as he felt like a a horde of demons was ready to swallow him up.

There’s someone else.

It can’t be him, right? Bakugou’s shoulders fell and frowned a bit. How could he be so stupid thinking that you actually liked him in the first place? Could it be…Kirishima? Kaminari? Oh fuck, maybe it’s Deku. His mind continued to swarm with possibilities of the “someone else,” casting more and more doubt onto himself until he heard your laughter.

You clenched your arms around your stomach and laughed. A beautiful melody that never ceases to amaze Bakugou. It was like a warm breeze in the summer swooping him away. But Bakugou lowered his gaze with confusion as he stared at you. “What’s so funny?”

You looked up, wiping a small tear on the corner of your eye with a bright but soft smile on your face.

“It’s you, dumbass.”

Under normal circumstances, anyone who called him that will immediately turn into dust, but with you… He couldn’t even get riled up an inch. Because when he heard those words left your mouth, it was like fog clearing up on a raining day, a heavy weight now off his shoulders.

Wait…is this really happening?

A cunning smirk graced his lips as he stepped closer to you.

The cool evening air no longer felt cold and you grabbed his hand pulling him closer. It was dark but he could still see the perfect outlines of your face.

“Really?” Bakugou whispered huskily above you, not sure if he was dreaming or not. Excitement buzzed throughout his body, his focus entirely on you.

You laughed with a happy smile on your face. “Really.”

Bakugou smirked cockily. “Well, then dumbass…I’m glad… because I like you too.” He said slowly in such a cute way that it made you giggled.

“I’m glad then.” You said quietly.

“Do you… want to go grab lunch someday…?” Bakugou asked, the words rolling off his tongue seemed so foreign to him. Everything happened so fast but it felt so nice at the same time.

You nodded your head still smiling. “Yeah…that sounds nice. Though I want your homemade curry, I’ve been craving Japanese food for so long and New York and LA doesn’t even beat the meals that you make!”

Bakugou laughed, his heart feeling so overwhelmingly content. “Well then, I’ll bring you some food tomorrow. You’ll be jet lag and all.”

You groaned cutely. “Oh god, yeah. I’ll probably be sleeping all morning tomorrow. But at least I’ll have something to look forward to when I wake up.” You smiled.

Bakugou nodded, and you pulled him into a hug that surprised him at first but he wrapped his arms around you ever so gently and warmly. The two of you just wrapped in each other’s arms for a few seconds, enjoying the quiet night that Bakugou wished could last forever.

“I’m glad you’re back, Y/N.” He whispered softly in your ear that made you shivered with happiness. “I…I’ve missed you.” He added ever so quietly in a way that it sounded like he was talking to himself. But you still heard those words and it made you hug him a bit tighter.

You tucked your head into his shoulder and whispered out a soft “me too.”  

When the two of you parted away, you both exchanged goodbyes once more, but this time, there was a layer of love and excitement in the air. Bakugou glanced at the door behind you, and the sudden reminder of Shindo who was still in there came to mind. Bakugou has never felt so happy in his whole entire life, knowing that you had the same feelings he had for you. But seeing the shadows on the windows, the sudden flash of Shindo’s disapproving face re-resurfaced. He had a feeling that you didn’t know that Shindo actually liked you. And sure! He only met the guy today but his gut instincts knew better that the faces he gave to Bakugou plus his expression whenever he looked at you, it was something more than just a friendship. But before Bakugou could even dive deeper into this thought as he turned towards the gate, you stopped him.

“Katsuki—! Wait.” You called, causing him to turn his head once more at you. But before he could even ask what’s wrong, you slipped a hand through his and stepped on your tippy toes as you planted a warm kiss on his cheek, holding it there for a few seconds. Bakugou widened his eyes for a quick second, and just like magic, that kiss washed his doubts about you and Shindo down the drain. It was like a message that you were his—as dominating as that sound. But it nevertheless made him less tensed. 

You swallowed a lump on your throat as you parted away. A little embarrassed at your sudden move but when you saw Bakugou’s face glowed, you smiled and nodded. Words didn’t need to be said for the two of you to understand each other.

“Have a goodnight, okay? Drive safe.” You waved before turning your back to return to the house.

“Yeah,” Bakugou smiled as he tucked his hands into his pocket, turning to the front gate once more. “I will.”

And with that, the two of you parted your ways, with bright smiles and warm hearts that continued to simultaneously flow in the air.

—————

“Cuz I know I’ll have to take you guys home!” Shindo heard Momo from the living room said as he carried the trash bags into the kitchen.

“Uhm.., where should I place these?” Shindo asked Awase who was washing a few cups in the sink.

Awase pointed at the corner besides him where all the other bags were laid. “You can leave them here Thanks, man.”

Before Shindo nodded respectfully at him, he heard you and the girls burst out into a loud laughter, making him turn to the direction of the sound coming from the main room. His eyes softened, as if reminiscing precious memories from a time. And in all honestly, his attention was just focused on your laughter. The melody that he can always listen to and never get tired of.

Shindo had never believed “love at first sight.” But when he first saw you in New York, his heart bloomed in a way that he has never felt before and he was so interested in you ever since. Of course, he kept cool about it, but since he was such an open and honest guy, he always slipped in a move here and there, hoping to grab your attention or sneak in hints, to show that what you meant to him was in a way that was more than a friend.

After cleaning up, Awase takes a sip of his beer, glancing at Shindo’s still turned-head for a moment before saying, “You like her, don’t you?”

Shindo looked stunned as he immediately shot his head back at Awase. His heart pounded in his chest when he heard the question. “H-how did you know?”

Awase smirked. “I know that feeling, dude. That’s how I felt when I met Momo,” He said, tilting his head towards the living room where his girlfriend was.

“I don’t want anyone to find out,” Shindo said quietly as he rested his elbows on the kitchen island across Awase.

“Of course. This is just between me and you.” Awase replied respectfully, knowing what Shindo is going thorough, having a similar experience himself.

Shindo smiled at him appreciatively. He cleared his throat. “And uhm, I know that we just met and all…but do…do you you know if Y/N is involved with anyone—like, romantically?”

Awase pondered on that comment seriously for a moment. “I don’t really know, man. I think Kirishima and the others will know since they were all in the same class as her since U.A. But…from what I’ve heard from my girlfriend, I don’t think so.”

“Not even, uhm, Bakugou?” Shindo slid in the question curiously.  

“Y/N and Bakugou!?” Awase laughed. “I’ve never heard of that before! Who gave you the idea?”

Shindo just shrugged, not wanting to say why he asked. Ever since the day he accidentally saw your phone lock screen of you and Bakugou in your days in U.A when your phone dinged on his table, his suspicion arose. Of course it wasn’t much, but the way you talked about him was different compared to the others…

“Hey,” Awase said, interrupting his thoughts. “From what I’ve learned… you can wait to get the answers, or just be honest with her.”

“Be honest with her?”

Awase shrugged. “Yeah. In fact you can even tell her how you feel now, most of her friends are returning home now.”

Shindo nodded appreciatively at him and smiled. “Thanks man, really.”

“You got it, and don’t worry,” Awase reassured when he saw Shindo’s mouth open again. “I’ll keep things low-key.”

Shindo smiled again and walked back towards the main room to find you. Awase was right. After all that you two of been through for the past couple weeks there was a new foundation built upon your friendship—trust. And he trusted you that you can at least understand his feelings. Shindo knew he told everyone that he came back to Tokyo for a change of environment and for hero work…but that wasn’t necessarily the entire truth. Because in all transparency, he came back for you too…and maybe its because he has loved working with you, or maybe it was the way you described Tokyo to him in New York made him really miss home…

Or maybe it’s because he was falling in love with you.

Shindo made his way to the living room and called out your name, but his high emotions toppled over when he saw you standing with Bakugou in the now empty living room, alone.

He doesn’t really hate Bakugou, but ever since he had his suspicion, he couldn’t look at him the same way. And sure, it may be unfair of him to act like that but when he saw the way Bakugou locked eyes with him, he knew something was up that confirmed his suscpisoun. He could feel this unprecedented tension in the air between him and Bakugou—almost like an undeclared challenge.

Shindo mustered up the courage as he walked towards you with a smile. “Hey, I know it’s pretty late. Do you want me to take you home?”

“Oh!” You replied when you noticed Shindo. “No, it’s fine, really!”

“You sure?”

You smiled at him which made Shindo’s stomach flutter with butterflies. “Yeah, thank you though.”

“Well then,” Shindo turned to Bakugou and then back to you, hesitating just a bit about his next act act. His gaze turned serious and he lowered his voice so almost only you could hear him.  “Can… Can I talk to you in private for a moment?”

Shindo saw you opened your mouth slowly. “Oh! Bakugou was actually talking—“

“It’s fine, Y/N” Bakugou cut in, looking at Shindo and then back to you. “It’s not important, really. Actually…I think I’m going to head out.”

“Bakugou, wait—“

“Y/N,” Bakugou continued. “Seriously, we can chat again later some time. Plus, since you’re back, we can finally hang out like we used too.”

Shindo glared at Bakugou. He felt his heart ache when he heard that, knowing that the two of you are pretty close. But finally when you agreed, you and Shindo stepped aside for more space.

You turned your head at Shindo and noticed his serious expression. “Is there something wrong?”

Shindo blinked his eyes and cleared his throat. “N-no! I mean, not anything super important. Actually, Y/N… I just wanted to—“

Click!

Before Shindo could continue, your head shot to where the door was just closed and you saw Bakugou’s shadow exit out of the house. Shindo saw you turned your head back towards him as you bit your lip.

“Shindo, I’m so sorry. Can you give me a few minutes really quick?” You said with the kindest smile you had.

Shindo looked at you with a tinge of solemn in his eyes as he smiled. His gut feeling knew what you were about to do, but he didn’t want to force you to listen to him and so he smiled and nodded, earning you a brighter smile on your face that Shindo loved.

“Thank you.” You said as you grabbed his hand and giving it a squeeze.

Shindo saw you run towards the door, not hesitating a bit to open it immediately.

And when you exited, Shindo gave out a sigh. This was a lot harder than he expected. He headed towards the table near the door to pack up some of his things that he laid near, but his mistake was when he glanced up at the window.  His eyes widened and sucked in a breath when he saw you standing near the front gate with Bakugou.

It looked like it was all happening in slow motion.

The way you slipped your hand through his. The cute way you leaned in closer a few inches with the tip of your toes and kissed him on the cheek.

It wasn’t an actual real kiss, but still...Shindo felt a surge of jealously come crashing down on him. He swallowed a lump in his throat as a mixture of anger and sadness stirred in him. And as he saw you wave goodbye to Bakugou, Shindou looked away in sadness as his stomach dropped and his once cool smile now turned into a deep frown.

He felt like he lost you — even though he never really had you in the beginning.

But maybe there’s still a chance for him to confess how he feels.

Because even if you don’t share the same feelings as him...he’ll still find release… that at least the person he loves …. knows.  

Yeah… Shindo thought to himself quietly as he pulled out his sunglasses, getting ready to leave. He knew he couldn’t say it now…not after what he just witnessed. So with a sharp glide of his hand like a professional, he slipped on his sunglasses and beanie ever so smoothly and picked up his bags.

I’ll come back to you Y/N…you’ll see.

GOODBYE JUNE...  YOU WERE SUNNY & HOT, WET & COOL...   CELEBRATING LGBTQ+ PRIDE MONTH... GLITTER ON THE BEACH... AND DANCING IN THE STREETS AND, BARING THE MASCULINE SOUL FOR ALL TO SEE!

Not Many On Tumblr  Know, But I Left A Large Footprint On The Internet From 1996-2010. I Have Eleven Degrees, Including Education, Psychology And Counselling, Sociology, Religion (Presbyterian Minister). I Started A Website Called “Gay Christian Online;” It Was One Of The First LGBTQ+ Websites On The Internet, And Ended Up Being One Of The Largest. It Was Featured On CNN News, And The BBC; I Was Often Interviewed On Radio And Television, And I Travelled Speaking And Lecturing On Various LGBTQ+ Topics.

My Most Famous And Reported Event Was When I Was Asked To Take Part In A Debate At A Large University, On “Whether You Can Be Both Gay And Christian,” Before Hundreds Of People And The Media. The “Against” Side Presented Their Typical Arguments. When My Turn Came, I Present No “For” Arguments, Instead Invited The Opposing Side And Audience To Come Forward And Let Me Wash Their Feet With A Bucket Of Warm Water, A Bar Of Soap, And Used The Shirt Off My Back As A Towel. The Place Erupted In Shouts, Cheers, And Tears. I Won.

I Started Getting E-mails From People Who Were LGBTQ+ And Struggling With Being Who They Are, Struggled With Reconciling Their Sexuality And Gender With Their Spirituality, Or With Being LGBTQ+ And Married And A Parent, Health And Mental Health Issues, Coming Out, Dating And Relationships, Etc. I Expanded The Website To Include Articles On These And Other Topics. It Turned Into An Online LGBTQ+ Counselling And Referral Service.

I Averaged 100-300 E-mails Per Day, And Answered Every One, Even Hate Mail, Devoting 2-3 Hours Every Night. As The Years Passed, More And More LGBTQ+ Supportive Websites Appeared, And People Could More Easily Be Themselves, My Online E-mail Counselling Service Slowed Down To 50-100 Per Day, Then 25-50, Then 10, Then 5 Or Less. In 2010, I Decided To Shut Down The Website; It Had Served Its Purpose, There Are Now Hundreds Of Websites, Churches And Religious Organisations, And Other Services Now Accepting Of LGBTQ+ Persons.

Today, I Still Provide Individual Counselling And Support In Person (Currently In The USA, In The Kansas City, Missouri Metro Area), And Online. I Provide Basic General Services On A Wide Range Of Topics, And I’m Available For Speeches And Lectures.  I Offer General Assistance (Coming Out, Self-Esteem, And Self-Actualisation), And Specialise In Sexuality/Gender And Spirituality, Transgender (FTM), Being LGTBQ+ And Married And/Or A Parent, Relationships, LGBTQ+ Teens, And LGBTQ+ Seniors.

Feel Free To Contact Me For Information, Assistance, Or Referral Here On Tumblr, Or By Email At [email protected].

#OnlyOnOneNETnews: Teen Kids News celebrates its 20th Anniversary in the U.S.A.

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK -- The longest-running first-run weekly syndicated news magazine in the United States of America (U.S.A.) known as "Teen Kids News", a news programme that focuses both the children and teens to keep you more informed.

The news show was started in late-September 2003 and was created by the late Albert Thomas Primo, who was an Executive Producer of TKN after he was recently dying from cancer a few weeks before to his death; while Alan J. Weiss, who was also the said same role and a former Senior Program Producer of ABC News in New York. Primo is the only creator of "Eyewitness News" leaving more than a hundred television markets taken their name label across the American state in local newscasts where you live. Not only the concept of Eyewitness News before, a style of television news presentation that emphasizes visual elements and action video, replacing the older "man-on-camera" newscast.

In September 1968, Primo moved to WABC-TV 7's ABC: New York, where the said named label was born. And in the present day a year later, after the 9/11 attack in New York... TKN was first started in late-Fall 2003 to give young people an opportunity to develop an interest in the news industry through delivering news and information to their peers in television sets nationwide. TKN was originally known as Eyewitness Kids News (EKN) in Season 1 before adopting its current name. The series was the first attempt at a syndicated news show aimed at children and teens in a targeted demographic audience on television since the cancellation of the similar "News for Kids" in 1996.

The said news programme received an award for the first time in 2013 at the New York Emmy Awards (NYEA) and was also been acknowledged the rest of the magazine publications & mainstream news media. TKN is syndicated to almost 200 TV stations where it was carried by educational channels to thousands of American schools covering the individuals of journalism for students to be one of them. It’s a regular feature on the American Forces Network (AFN), available to all U.S. Military families stationed around the world. Here in our country, OneNETtv Channel (DYDZ-TV 8 in Dumaguete City) was first to air in an online internet television in 2010s from a local Internet Café as part of our world's first international broadcast importation to Negrosanons and the City of Gentle People until before the end of this said decade.

The biggest names of interviews featuring Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS), Jonas Bros., Robert Anthony de Niro Jr., Walter Bruce Willis, Shawn Corey Carter (known as Jay-Z), Robyn Rihanna Fenty, Ian Murray McKellen, Elijah Jordan Wood, Stephen Edwin King, Avril Ramona Lavigne, Channing Matthew Tatum, Michael Fred Phelps II and the older cast of the Harry Potter movies as PR Newswire reported.

Some on-air news personalities are no longer in teens in a previous season(s), which is now a full grown adult period. Others are taking different paths of careers with a retirement, while most of them are continuing their careers in its next level of the news industries in other TV news networks.

As the 20th Anniversary starts in celebration, the news team of TKN always keeping you more informed both the children and teens with the important issues in a format intended to educate with a parental supervision of adults. TKN has the news teens you can use and the news teens want.

Join us for a virtual tour of JR: Chronicles, the first major exhibition in North America of works by the French-born artist JR. Working at the intersections of photography, social engagement, and street art, JR often collaborates with communities by making portraits and wheat pasting them in nearby public spaces. See how JR has expanded the meaning of public art through his ambitious projects that give visibility and agency to a broad spectrum of people around the world.

Created by Sharon Matt Atkins, Director of Exhibitions and Strategic Initiatives, and Drew Sawyer, Phillip Leonian and Edith Rosenbaum Leonian Curator, Photography, Brooklyn Museum.

Born in Paris in 1983 to Eastern European and Tunisian immigrant parents, JR began his career as a graffiti artist under the alias Face 3.

After finding a camera in the Paris Métro in 2000, he started to document his posse of friends in the act of graffitiing and eventually pasted photocopies of these images onto exterior walls and added painted frames, creating Expo 2 Rue (Sidewalk Galleries). 

Since the pasted images almost always get washed and worn away, documentation of these installations, including the voices of the participants through video and audio recordings, is central to JR’s practice.

In 2004 JR initiated his first major public project, Portrait of a Generation, which featured photographs of young people from housing complex in the Parisian suburbs of Montfermeil and Clichy-sous-Bois.

JR and his friend Ladj Ly, a filmmaker and resident of Les Bosquets, worked with these communities to produce black and white portraits. 

JR used a camera with a wide-angle lens, which not only distorts their faces but also conveys extreme proximity and intimacy, as opposed to photojournalists who use telephoto lenses from a distance.

JR and his collaborators then pasted the enlarged images in the surrounding neighborhood of Montfermeil and, eventually, throughout central Paris. Each pasting included the name, age, and address of the sitter.

This photograph of Ladj Ly and friends was the first large-scale image that JR and his friends wheat pasted in the neighborhood prior to the riots there in 2005. It appeared as the backdrop in photographs accompanying newspaper articles and television footage about the uprising, thereby becoming JR’s first published work.

In 2013 JR learned that the housing towers in Les Bosquets were going to be demolished, so he and a group revisited the Portrait of a Generation project by pasting portraits in the interior. As the buildings were being torn down, the monumental images of residents were slowly revealed.

In 2005 JR traveled to Israel and Palestinian territories, where he and his friend Marco were inspired to carry out a public project similar to Portrait of a Generation. 

The following year, during a period of fierce tension and fighting in the Gaza Strip, they began meeting with and making portraits of Palestinians and Israelis who held the same jobs.

Ayman Abu Alzulof, a Palestinian actor from the town of Beit Sahour, said he agreed to be photographed because the images would be seen on both sides of the border. "It shows that both parties look like each other, as human beings,” he explained. “It's difficult to differentiate between a Palestinian face and an Israeli face. It will also show that we live here. I think a lot of people will talk about it.”

In 2008 JR initiated Women Are Heroes after learning about the deaths of three young men in the favela of Morro da Providência in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the subsequent riots ignited by the involvement of the Brazilian military. 

The exhibition includes this multi-media diorama that narrates the stories of the participants and project.

After meeting with residents for a month, the artist collaborated with them to make photographs of the eyes and faces of local women, including some related to the murdered men. Together, they pasted the blown-up images on staircases and buildings around the favela.

Giant faces and eyes appeared to be staring down into Rio from the hilltop.

JR continues to work with the communities with which he partners. In 2009, he established the Casa Amarela (Yellow House) in Morro da Providência in 2009. 

The moon on top of the house is actually a room, where artists from all over the world can stay in exchange for conducting workshops for the children and adults of the favela. They just celebrated their 10th anniversary! 

The exhibition includes a model of Casa Amarela, created by Brazilian artist Raphael Truffi Bortholuzzi

Between 2008 and 2010, JR also completed Women Are Heroes installations in Cambodia, India, Kenya, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

Here is an installation that shows portraits of some of the participants alongside an aerial shot of the images printed on vinyl and installed on rooftops in Kibera, Kenya in 2009. 

The images both transformed the landscape and provided protection from the rain.

In 2008 JR began his project The Wrinkles of the City in Cartagena, Spain. As he had done for Women Are Heroes, JR collaborated with the community to create large-scale portraits. This time he photographed the oldest inhabitants of the city.

This gallery also demonstrates more of JR’s process, including the rolls of paper shown here and mockups.

In 2011 JR won the TED Prize, a $100,000 award given to “leaders with creative, bold wishes to spark global change.” The prize enabled JR to launch Inside Out, a global public art project. He began encouraging others to use his process and providing the means to do so, expanding his collaborative practice to a fully participatory art project.

This installation highlights many of the Inside Out projects (@insideoutproject) through more than 50 videos created by the organizers and participants of actions around the world.

Since 2011 more than 400,000 portraits have been pasted in 141 countries worldwide, including visitors to the Museum’s First Saturday programming last August!

In September 2017 JR installed a monumental photograph of Kikito, a one-year-old boy from Tecate, Mexico, in a location near the child’s home along the U.S.-Mexico border. The giant toddler, seeming to peer over the fence, prompted the viewer to wonder, What does a child think about a fence he sees every day?

Kikito, 2017

Although the nearly 70’ tall image stood in Mexico, it could best be viewed from the United States. Kikito’s mother remarked: “I hope this will help people see us differently than what they hear in the media. . . . I hope in that image they won’t only see my kid. They will see us all.”

On October 8, 2017, for the last day of the Kikito installation at the U.S.-Mexico border, JR organized a gigantic picnic on both sides of the wall. Kikito, his family, and dozens of guests came from the United States and Mexico to share a meal. 

People at both sides of the border gathered around the eyes of Mayra, a “Dreamer,” eating the same food, sharing the same water, and enjoying the same live music (with half the band’s musicians playing on either side).

In 2016 JR returned once again to Clichy-Montfermeil with the filmmaker Ladj Ly to photograph more than 750 people from the Parisian suburb in order to create a large-scale mural, inspired by the work of the Mexican painter Diego Rivera. 

In 2017, the mural was installed at Les Bosquets. Here the work is shown as a large-scale transparency print in a lightbox. 

In early 2020, JR started teaching a course titled “Art and Image,” at the École Kourtrajmé, a film school in the neighborhood founded by Ladj Ly.

Commissioned by Time magazine for its cover on November 5, 2018, this video mural visualizes a spectrum of views on guns in the United States through collaged portraits of 245 individuals, including gun collectors, hunters, law enforcement officials, shooting victims, emergency room teams that treat victims of mass shootings, and gun industry lobbyists. 

Participants were invited to share their individual views, describe their own experiences, and search for common ground; their accounts are accessible on the project's website.

At the center of the exhibition is JR’s new monumental mural project, The Chronicles of New York City (2019). In the summer of 2018, JR and his team spent a month roaming all five boroughs of New York City, parking their 53-foot-long trailer truck in numerous locations and taking photographs of passersby who wished to participate.

Each of the 1,128 participants was photographed in front of a green screen, and then the images were collaged into a New York City setting featuring architectural landmarks. 

The participants chose how they personally wanted to be represented and were asked to share audio recordings of their stories, which are now available on a free mobile app.

In keeping with the public and collaborative nature of JR’s art, the museum partnered with organizations in Brooklyn to install murals throughout the burough.

A monumental version of The Chronicles of New York City is on view in Domino Park (@dominopark) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The project has been conceived in collaboration with LOT-EK, which designed Triangle STACK #2 to help bring JR's mural into the city's open space.

CRITIC’S CHOICE

April 13, 1963

Directed by Don Weis 

Produced by Frank P. Rosenberg for Warner Brothers

Written by Jack Sher, based on the play by Ira Levin

Synopsis ~ Parker Ballantine is a New York theater critic and his wife writes a play that may or may not be very good. Now Parker must either get out of reviewing the play or cause the breakup of his marriage.

PRINCIPAL CAST

Lucille Ball (Angela Ballantine) marks her 80th feature film since coming to Hollywood in 1933. This is her fourth and final film with Bob Hope. 

Bob Hope (Parker Ballantine) was born Lesley Townes Hope in England in 1903. During his extensive career (in virtually all forms of media) he received five honorary Academy Awards. He died at the age of 100. In 1945 Desi Arnaz was the orchestra leader on Bob Hope’s NBC radio show. Lucille Ball and Hope made four films together: Sorrowful Jones (1949), Fancy Pants (1950), The Facts of Life (1960), and Critic’s Choice (1963).

‘CRITICS’ TRIVIA

Lucille Ball’s costumes for the film were designed by Edith Head.  Irma Kusely, Lucille’s long-time hairdresser, did her hair design.

Lucille Ball and Bob Hope break the fourth wall and appear as themselves in the film’s trailer. 

Because of poor audience reaction at test screenings, this film sat unreleased for a year before being sent to theaters. The delay did not help, as it received generally unfavorable reviews.

"It is pleasing to look at in its expensive décor, color and scope, ably played by its experienced stars and ingratiating in its quieter insights into a sophisticated marital relationship. So long as it meanders modestly through some above-average repartee, it provides an agreeable way to pass an evening. Instead of leaving well enough alone, unfortunately, the director, Don Weis, has tried to upholster the shaky plot with slapstick and broad burlesque...Both stars, old hands at this sort of thing, go through their paces with benign good humor, but their subtler comic talents remain untapped. At this rate, the critics' popularity seems unlikely to improve." ~ The New York Times

Angela's play opens at the 46th Street Theatre. This is an actual Broadway theatre, though it has since been renamed the Richard Rodgers Theatre and since 2015 has been home to Hamilton. At the time of filming it was host to the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical How To Succeed in Business...Without Really Trying. Lucille Ball was on Broadway just one year earlier at the Alvin (now the Neil Simon) Theatre in Wildcat. 

The collage of stylized posters for Broadway plays (The Music Man, Life With Father, Fanny, Gypsy, Camelot) that appeared under the opening credits, were all productions that had (or in the case of Camelot, would later be) filmed by Warner Bros.

Ira Levin's original play had been produced on Broadway in 1960, when it enjoyed modest success under the direction of Otto Preminger. The play starred Henry Fonda in the Bob Hope role of Parker Ballantine, and also featured Georgann Johnson (in Lucille Ball's role). 

Angela and Dion fly from New York to Boston in an American Airlines Lockheed Electra, registration number N6102A. By the time the movie was released in 1963, the plane no longer existed - on August 6, 1962 (Lucille Ball's 51st birthday) it was wrecked in a landing accident during a thunderstorm at the Knoxville, Tennessee airport. Fortunately, all aboard the plane survived.

The casting of Marilyn Maxwell as Hope's first wife was a kind of ironic joke, as their long-time affair was well enough known in the industry for her to be often referred to as "the second Mrs. Hope."

The Ballantines were based on renowned theatre critic Walter Kerr and his playwright wife Jean Kerr. As an inside joke, Hope mentions one of her plays, "Mary, Mary."

The film’s music orchestrations are credited to Arthur Morton (inset photo). Not only is Morton Ball’s married name, Arthur Morton was the name of the character played by Richard Crenna who had a crush on Lucy Ricardo in “The Young Fans” (ILL S1;E20)!

The film is mentioned on “What's My Line?” featuring Bob Hope and Lucille Ball on May 5, 1963. Lucy and Bob are on a promotional tour, New York being the eleventh of their 19 cities. They had just come from being on “The Ed Sullivan Show” earlier that evening, also to promote Critic’s Choice.

Lucille Ball mentions the film on “Dinah!” featuring Bob Hope on April 15, 1977. About Critic’s Choice (1963), it is clear that this was a film Lucy didn’t want to do. Lucy and Hope were obliged to do a 11-theatre promo tour to “sell” the film. Hope calls it their only flop.
