#2022 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

[leqclerc]

seb arriving at monaco feels like the plot twist of some cheesy romcom. like can you imagine if charles ***

THE REDACTED pls 😭

No because I'm still so ajsdfkg that his first post-retirement paddock appearance is in Monaco of all places. Monaco. Loud, glamourous, filled with celebs and influencers flocking to get a bit of that clout. Just so happens to be Charles's home race, the place that means the most to him on a personal level. It really is!!! I mean I've written fics about Seb coming to visit Charles in Monaco but then he one-upped me and did it for real ajsdfjg

Really hoping for some Seb/Charles interaction this weekend. I know he's busy with sponsor and media duties as the hometown boy, but come on... 👀

Anyway, now we know that no matter what happens this weekend, no matter how the race goes for Charles, he'll have Seb's support right there. And that's really special 😭😭😭❤️❤️

#replies #anonymous #listen either we're getting a role reversal of monaco 2017 or monaco 2022: electric boogaloo #either way he's there just a short distance from charles...... what a win for sebcharles nation honestly #discussions and predictions

I absolutely love all the Quantum Leap blogs I follow because the complete and utter radio silence on the 2022 reboot really speaks volumes considering how much speculation was on my dash before it aired.

As someone who finally remembered it's existence and watched the whole season*, I can genuinely tell all original Quantum Leap fans:

Do not bother watching this show

It literally exists to try and make a profit off the nostalgia of the title alone, because it is shallower than a drop of water in the desert and they're trying to make up for their lack of interesting Leaps by filling the runtime with office drama in the present day that no one cares about and doesn't mean anything.

They're telling us all these things about Ben that mean absolutely nothing because it doesn't change anything, he already Leaped, and no I don't particularly care about why, even after the little "cliffhanger reveal" in Episode 8.

I was watching this show because I care about Sam Beckett and Al Calavicci.

Al was summarily killed off in the first or second episode by having them mention he'd passed away a few years ago, and while you could be generous and say it's because they didn't want anyone that wasn't Dean Stockwell playing Al.... You don't have to have a character on-screen to have them exist in your story.

Al could have been a character whose just always left the room to go attend one of his grandkids pride events.

He could be on the other end of an important phone call.

He could be the random old guy that sneaks in at night and talks with Ziggy but they've never been able to catch him because he always knows how to disable all their security measures and Ziggy refuses to tell them.

(They're secretly plotting to actually get Sam and Ben back while everyone else is just caught up in their conspiracy theories, Janis helps by sending them all on a wild goose chase so Ziggy has actual time to put her processing power to work)

But yeah. Al's been killed off for literally no reason except for bad writing, his daughter is an antagonist for no reason except bad writing, and I genuinely do not care about literally any of these characters because so far they haven't done anything memorable. Ben gets kudos for actually helping people but that's negated a bunch by him being extremely shallow of a character AND the mouthpiece for "you must forgive your abusers!!!!!" The writers are using this show to preach.

Oh and did I mention everyone promptly forgot that Sam Beckett exists and that Ben was trying to find him? So much so that when he runs into another Leaper who warns him to stop following because it's dangerous, literally every single character jumps to the conclusion that it's ... Janis. Al's Antagonist Daughter, threatening Ben, instead of the obvious conclusion of

Hello???? It's literally Sam fucking Beckett trying to warn Ben he should be focused on getting home, back to his life, instead of continuing to try and find Sam?? That Sam's trying to save him from getting trapped in the Leaps like he was??? And the show unironically took it as a threat from some unknown villain instead, and wholly expects the audience to take that conclusion at face value?

Like. Yeah, don't watch Quantum Leap 2022 if you loved the original, if you want to know what happened to Sam and Al.

Al's been summarily killed off, his wife Beth has existed for maybe 3 scenes, and his daughter is randomly an antagonist who drugs her own mother into unconsciousness to show how evil she is lol.

Sam Beckett exists as a footnote and is summarily forgotten by all the new characters.

Ziggy doesn't exist and is now just a generic computer they call "it" (instead of she/her OR he/him) and is not a character at all

Oh, and Ian Wright the nonbinary character everyone was hyping up? Just exists to be the shallow, quirky, quipping one-liner joke-maker of the episode, wearing cat ears at work, making jokes about magic mushrooms and somehow generating views for the show because apparently Mason Alexander has a cult following of people who literally just follow their work and refer to them on a first name basis and...

... I've just blocked all those people already from the tag because it's genuinely creepy how deeply these people are in a parasocial relationship with the actor. Like genuinely looking for RPF things and obsessing over them and referring to them only by their first name and just.... No. Hell no.

But yeah, the funny thing is if you go into the Quantum Leap 2022 tag and block all the Mason Park stalkers the content of the tag is just reduced by like 90%

So uh. That tells you a lot about how little substance Quantum Leap 2022 has. Most of the posts are from me and my twin liveblogging it lol.

-----update:

* I guess they're splitting the season into 2 parts because the IMBD says the next episode is in January 2023 with more episodes after that for a total of 18 episodes in the first season but uh. Too fucking bad for them I'm not wasting my time on this bag of hot air. I'm sticking a pin in it and going back to my little original show rewrite and post canon fun/angst.

Barking Up The Wrong Bakery (14/16)

AO3

–

PROTECTIVE

Kurt knows this venue like the back of his hand, so it doesn’t take very long until he finds Blaine hiding at a loading space.

“Blaine,” he yells out. Blaine hears him and when he looks up, he looks very upset.

Kurt sits next to him and fuck the distance rules, he puts his arm around Blaine to comfort him.

“Hey, it’s okay. The dogs have already started eating. It still tastes great.”

They feel like empty words. It doesn’t take away the fact that all the hard work on decoration was just disregarded like that, but Kurt can try.

Blaine shakes his head.

“He’s still ruining your big day!” Blaine says and there’s a protective glint in his eyes, “You worked so hard on this and of course he can’t handle that. I should’ve…”

“Cooper acted alone, Blaine, there is nothing you could’ve done,” Kurt quickly says. He appreciates how Blaine wants to protect Kurt, but Kurt’s an influencer. He’s gotten used to bullshit, especially since he’s a dog party planner. “I am more upset that he ruined it for you. Your work is ravaged, not mine.”

Really, the dogs are going nuts over the cake. It leads to many Instagram possibilities.  

“Cooper- he has been bitter ever since he moved here. He had big dreams and everything, but he acts so pathetic. As if I didn’t experience the same disappointment!” Blaine groans out, “I wanted to be big in music, instead I started a dog bakery. Unlike Cooper, I am still happy with the alternative.”

Kurt nods. He completely understands that. Kurt hasn’t achieved his dreams of being on stage, but he’s very happy and successful in his new career. Really, there’s no bitterness towards his friends who did succeed, since Kurt loves his job. He loves happy dogs!

“And I think Cooper is sort of jealous of me for that. I can let go. He can’t. And then he finds out that I was about to buy his share. And then he obviously found out that I am here, attending a star-studded event.”

Kurt puts his hand on Blaine’s leg.

“Well, I am very happy you’re here,” he says with a smile.

Blaine once again turns red.

“And I’m very happy you asked me to be here, even though my attendance led to…” Blaine gestures towards the buffet plinth.

“Blaine,” Kurt moves his hand from Blaine’s leg to his shoulder, turning him to the side so that he faces Kurt. Kurt moves closer. “Blaine, Cooper acted alone. Don’t blame yourself for that!”

“I- uh, yeah,” Blaine eyes flick towards Kurt’s bedazzled mask. Then he schools his impression. “Sorry. After years of your brother taking his issues out on you, you start to internalise it a bit.”

“What an asshole.” Kurt didn’t think it was possible to hate Cooper even more, but it is.

Blaine is still staring at Kurt’s mask.

“But, uhm, maybe if there’s one positive result from this, it’s that we’re now alone. I ran, you followed, and here we are.”

It’s true. There’s no one around here. Everyone’s still at the actual event. The dogs’ barks can be heard. All the celebrities are focused on their pets.

Blaine reaches for Kurt’s mask, ready to take it off, and Kurt lets him. Then Blaine practically rips off his own mask and he leans closer. Kurt closes his eyes and Blaine kissy kissies smooch smooches Kurt.

Finally! In the background, the firework display has started and Kurt and Blaine are surrounded by the glittery lights in the sky. It’s perfect.

--

End notes: I want everyone to know that one of the main reasons I wrote this fic is so that I could write “Blaine kissy kissies smooch smooches Kurt” after I told people of the Lima Bean Discord I’d do it. Kissy kissy smooch smooch!!

Man sorry that I haven't been live-blogging y'all.

I've been off Ritalin for an entire month because of stupid insurance issues and it spiraled me really quickly into a dark pit of being able to do absolutely nothing unless caffeinated by 4 shots of espresso. And that's a hard feat for me to accomplish every single day when I have other things to do on top of that.

Hmmmmm,,,,

This lovely song has lyrics that pretty accurately describe my mental and physical state for the last month and a fkin half.

It's a miracle I got anything done tbh.

Good news: the insurance issues are over.

I took my first dose of Ritalin mere hours ago (along with 4 shots of espresso) and I feel capable and able to be human again LOL.

I plan to spend this weekend live-blogging but as always, I'm an unreliable narrator and we'll see as we go lmao.

[rjalker]

not impressed with the first episode. They should have picked one - either he keeps his memories, or they do a cold opening with him already in the leap with no memory. Going back and forth between the leap and the original timeline is too distracting and not helpful to getting to know any of the characters.

So far hologram lady has no discernible personality besides "girlfriend" and "going to act surprised about random things for some reason".

Also, despite them jumping back and forth between the leap and what everyone back home is doing, Ziggy didn't get any lines, or any aknowledgement as a character at all, and they're all apparently using it/its pronouns for him now, which is not actually a good thing in this case because it means they're probably just going to act like Ziggy's just a computer and not a person -.-

Human character using it/its pronouns? epic.

The sequel that shows no signs of treating the artificial intelligence like a person changing his pronouns to it/its? bad fucking sign -.-

Even if Ziggy just said, "Yeah, I use any pronouns, as long as you switch it up" it'd be fine. Or even just alternating he/she/they/it. But no. Just it/its, with no dialogue or conveyed dialogue at all.

Barking Up The Wrong Bakery (1/14)

Summary: Kurt is the biggest dog party planner in Los Angeles. When his usual dog bakery cancels on Kurt, he’s in the dire need of a last minute replacement. Luckily, he comes across the Dalton Doggy dog bakery, which is run by Blaine and Cooper Anderson. Cooper’s a mess, but Blaine manages to charm Kurt. Will Kurt be able to keep it professional?

Notes: When I saw @gleekto and @redheadgleek blog about the Klaine Spring Fling, I wanted to jump in but I had some fics with fest deadlines to finish. Those are both done, and around the time they got done, the Klaine Spring Fling 2: Electric Boogaloo got announced. (Thanks @wowbright!)

I’ve had this idea in my head for a while and it’s an attempt (I hope) at some crack. I got the idea after I watched a documentary about rich people in Dubai, and a dog party planner was followed.

Well, enjoy.

AO3

DECISION

There are many decisions that have led Kurt Hummel to this dog bakery, but the biggest one was his decision to move to Los Angeles to become a dog party planner for influencers.

Well.

Okay.

Rewind.

It all started when Kurt graduated from NYADA during a pandemic. All possible job opportunities went up in smoke and with the amount of student debt and no income, he moved to back to Lima. One day he was scrolling through Instagram only to find out that of course the rich, high and mighty didn’t care about the virus and they kept throwing lavish parties.

Even for their dogs.

Not only that, but one particular influencer was in the dire need of a dog party planner.

Kurt had laughed to himself and he sent in an application for fun. After all, what did he have to offer? Half of his resume was made-up and he had nothing to do.

A week later, he was on a plane to Los Angeles to try his hand at this ‘dog party planner’ thing. Turns out… he’s great at the job. He didn’t even have to bullshit his way through his first gig. After all, Kurt’s really talented. He’s structured, he’s good at planning and organising, he’s demanding when needed and he can supervise a little team if necessary. His no-nonsense attitude definitely helps.

Kurt quickly climbed the ranks in the dog party planner career ladder.

Yes, Kurt didn’t know that existed up until then.

As the pandemic went on and more people stopped caring, more clients almost demanded to work with LA’s finest dog party planner. Kurt basically became an influencer himself, which is something he sometimes resents, because all of his friends make fun of it. It’s all good mannered, though, but the joke of “Use the code KURT for 30% off on your dog food purchase” and its variants got old after the first year. Sam needs to step up his game.

And so, two years later, he’s the most wanted person in the industry. His socials are filled with photos of all the parties he’s organised. Social media influencers, Hollywood actors and well-known musicians are drooling over his work. And he’s making a lot of money. Like, an ungodly amount of money. Beyonce was especially generous with her tip.

But Kurt’s only human. Despite his credentials, he still makes mistakes. The same goes for his team.

This morning, he found out that the dog cake that he ordered from his usual dog bakery fell through. Literally. It fell through a hole in the ground. Kurt doesn’t really understand it either. The bakery had a bigger client lined up (or so they think), so they cancelled. Kurt’s forced to find a last-minute replacement.

And that’s why Kurt’s now staring at the red and navy coloured storefront of a Dalton Doggy dog bakery.

It’s a relatively new dog bakery, so Kurt doesn’t know what to expect. He’s worked with several dog bakeries and he knows they aren’t all as great as his usual one.

Well, beggars can’t be choosers. He needs that cake. Kurt masks up, sighs, and opens the door.
