Nunya it’s zoomer Huey, so as you know that Elmo was choked by Larry David on live tv.

Now I hearing that Elmo is a black 3 and half year old child

Now I know Sesame Street was created mostly as a way for inner cities kids can get knowledge as the places their in several lack the resources to let them to learn

Jeez almost like most cities planners never thought about kids and such

But anyways can you look up the idea that Elmo is meant to represent a black boy? Of course Elmo represents all kids now. But I find it interesting as that group of kids are often forgotten.

Perhaps I��m sound weird as I just got off my shift as I wrote this

You're fine I saw that whole thing.

I don't believe that Elmo was put in as a substitute for a black kid, just on the basis that it's Sesame Street and they don't do things like that, or they didn't.

No dancing around things there, the first lesson on death I had was Big Bird bringing a picture he'd drawn of Mr Hooper to him to show him, but Mr Hooper had died.

And Sesame Street handled that in a honest and age appropriate way that made death real but not scary, so if they'd wanted to introduce a black kid Muppet they'd make em a black kid.

All that and I remember Elmo from when I was a kid, before he became "ELMO" and there was nothing like that there either to my memory.

And we had human performers of all kinds even then, back when everyone was supposed to be wanting to treat everyone equally regardless of external factors, which apparently is racist now.

I could be wrong though, so I'll look and regardless of what I see I'm leaving that top bit.

Go easy first.

Elmo Monster is a red Muppet character on the children's television show Sesame Street.[3] A furry red monster who speaks in a high-pitched falsetto voice and frequently refers to himself in the third person, he hosts the last full five-minute segment (fifteen minutes prior to 2017) on Sesame Street, "Elmo's World", which is aimed at toddlers. He was most often puppeteered by Kevin Clash, but since his resignation in late 2012, he has been puppeteered by Ryan Dillon.

However, in 1985, Hunt was so frustrated with the puppet, he squeezed it and threw it at Kevin Clash, who then performed Elmo. Clash said that Elmo should be a character who is kind and loving. Sans says of Clash, "one day in 1985, Kevin Clash, a talented puppeteer, raised him up and brought energy and life into Elmo and from that day forward we would all write for Elmo." Modern Elmo debuted with the Season 17 premiere of Sesame Street, episode 2096 (first aired November 18, 1985, following the release of the Sesame Street film Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird). In the episode, Big Bird is tired of the adults refusing to believe him about Snuffy, so he decides to arrange for them to come to his nest and meet Snuffy, and Elmo offers to help. Snuffy returns, then tells Elmo he had better go home and brush his fur to prepare for the grown-ups' arrival, but Elmo holds on to his snuffle so he cannot go; as such, the adults meet Snuffy for the first time ever. Clash cites a moment later in season 17 (from Episode 2215 in which Elmo packs for an imaginary vacation) as the moment when he "found his voice" as Elmo, and by 1987, he became added to various episodes and product lines. __________________

There's lots more but nothing to indicate he was supposed to be any kind of stand in for a black child, people may be projecting because the guy playing him was a black dude, but didn't start that way so not looking good for that theory.

Before moving on, we'll get to that elephant in the room about the guy that does the voice.

Since this is the dude doing it now, and there would be hell to pay somewhere if he was actually supposed to be black. _______________

Not gonna vouch for facts DOT net, but with a URL like that I think it's likely they're going to know what they're talking about even if it is obviously a clickbait site.

OOP maybe this is something

That's Roosevelt Franklin, not Elmo. So there's another nope.

But as I've said if Sesame Street wanted a black character they wouldn't have used a red monster.

youtube

They'd have made a black human(ish) Muppet. _____________

Sesame Street was created so there could be a quality educational program for kids of all walks of life, it was set where it was set for reasons I don't know but could look up if I felt like it, but likely convenience since that's a easy enough place to see everything that's there with all the shops and stands and what not, gotta be in a urban area for that to work.

Again I could be wrong, but either way.

Elmo isn't black and wasn't meant to be seen as a stand in for a black kid to the best of my knowledge, which now includes the stuff here as well as about 8 other sites I skimmed through.

I think people might be trying to make something bigger than a joke out of a Jewish man having a laugh by attacking a Muppet, wonder if there's anything going on in the world that might be generating that kind of need to misdirect people and make something like that out to be something it's not. ______________________

And finally, I gotta say thank you Elmo.

When you sent that tweet out there you weren't expecting to get the level of truth and honesty you got, but you and the rest of the gang really stepped it up and brought the conversation front in center.

In the most absurd way I can think of.

And even us old's are gonna get some good out of it by revisiting our friends at Sesame Street I think.

National Teddy Bear Day

The teddy bear is one of the most popular toys for children, and holds a special place in many adults hearts, too. This lovable stuffed animal has a day all of its own, Teddy Bear Day. It gives a chance for people to get teddy out of the cupboard and make him the center of attention.

It’s an ideal time to get together with others for a teddy bear’s favorite activity, having a picnic, as immortalized in the classic song, ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic.’ This was written in 1907, shortly after teddy bears were first manufactured in Europe and America. The American toy bears were named Teddy, in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt, who had refused to shoot a small captured bear on a hunting trip. Many teddy bears have become famous over the years, including Paddington Bear, Rupert Bear, Pudsey Bear and, of course, Winnie the Pooh.

Learn about Teddy Bear Day

In a world where everyone seems to be larger and louder than yourself, it is very comforting to have a small, quiet companion

Teddy Bear Day has been created so that we have a specific date whereby we can pay tribute to one of our favorite childhood toys. Most people reading this will have fond memories of playing with a teddy bear when we were younger. In fact, some of you reading this may even have your favorite childhood teddy bear today. It may be tattered and even missing an eye or some stuffing, but it will be the most precious teddy bear in the world to you!

On this date, we pay tribute to this amazing childhood toy, which has stood the test of time. It does not matter what new crazes or toys come onto the market, they will never surpass the global popularity that the teddy bear has attained. With every decade that passes by, we still see children clutching onto their teddy bears, and it is a beautiful sight to behold.

This is because our teddy bear is usually the first friend that we have. It is the first ‘person’ that we share all of our thoughts and experiences with. We even cuddle our teddy bear when we go to sleep at night because it provides us with comfort. It is only right that we take a day to reflect on just how amazing teddy bears are, right?

History of Teddy Bear Day

It’s too bad we’re not all teddy bears. More stuffing would only make us cuter and cuddlier.

To understand the history of Teddy Bear Day, we need to roll back the clock to something that happened more than 100 years ago. In 1902, Theodore Rossevelt was the President of the United States. During this year, he refused to shoot a bear cub while he was in Mississippi hunting. The incident spread around the country via the national news. There was even a cartoon of the event that was published in the Washington Post by Clifford Berryman on the 16th of November in 1902. It became a classic right away.

Morris Michtom, a store owner in New York, was inspired by the cartoon and he decided to create a new toy. He then sent a letter to the President, asking Mr. Roosevelt if it would be possible for the new toy to be called “Teddy Bear.” The rest, as they say, was history.

Since then, there have been a lot of famous teddy bear characters, and this toy has become loved by children all over the world. No matter their upbringing, culture, or any other differences, one thing that all children can agree with is that there is nothing quite like the comfort and friendship that a teddy bear provides.

We have since seen the famous teddy bears from Briton, like Paddington and Winnie-the-Pooh. You also have the famous Care Bears series. In the United States, Radar, a teddy Bear from Sesame Street that belonged to Big Bird, hit the screens. Of course, Garfield, a lasagna-loving cat was also a big hit in the United States, and consequently around the world. Plus, we can’t forget Fozzie Bear from the Muppets either!

Our love affair with teddy bears has not ended. You only need to look at the new releases on TV and at the cinema to see that new teddy bear characters are being invented all of the time. In recent years, we have seen the Ted films become exceptionally popular. While aimed at adults rather than children, these films are still based on the premise of teddy bears being a best friend. Ted may be funny, but he is lovable, as all teddy bears are. If you have never seen the film, which stars Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg, we would definitely recommend watching it on Teddy Bear Day if you want to have a good old laugh!

How to celebrate Teddy Bear Day

There are a lot of different ways that you can celebrate Teddy Bear Day. One option is to dig up your favorite childhood teddy bear and take some photos of it. Share the images on social media and encourage your friends, family members, and followers to share images of their favorite teddy bear from when they were a child. Even if people do not have any photos of their bear, they will enjoy sharing stories of how they used to take their teddy bear everywhere with them.

Another fun way to spend this day is to go out and buy yourself a new teddy bear. Even as an adult, there is something cute and comforting about having a teddy bear in your home. As time has gone on, there have been a number of different companies that have popped up that enable you to purchase your own teddy bear.

You are able to choose the different fur and other unique characteristics that really make your teddy bear your own. If you have children, this is definitely a fun way to spend the day, but it is also fun and exciting even if you do not have any kids. After all, who does not love the idea of building their own teddy bear? If you are a particularly crafty person, you could even make your own teddy bear from scratch.

There are lots of different instructions online that enable you to do this, and it will be a fun way to spend the day. Plus, there is something amazing about having a teddy bear that you have made from scratch. It makes it feel even more like a real friend and companion. It is your own, and no one else in the world is going to have the same teddy bear as you. That is pretty amazing! Make sure that you share photos of your creation across social media if you’re the sort of person that uses Instagram and such like. We bet all of your followers will be super impressed!

does anyone remember that episode of elmo’s world (or like, a sesame street christmas special, idr exactly) where elmo wishes every day was christmas (a normal wish for a child to make) and when it happens, slowly over the year, everything slowly becomes more and more derelict, there are fewer presents, people start looking more and more forced in their cheer, until its december 25th the previous year after a year of christmas and all the carolers have lost their voices, Big Bird is weeping over the loss of Snuffy (who went to like Chicago to be with family and I guess by christmas law is required to be there forever until the holiday ends?? but it’ll never end ???), christmas trees are an endangered species, every channel playing it’s a wonderful life, a local storeowner is crying as he boards up his shop because no one can have their shops open on christmas therefore no one works and everyone’s remaining dollars are used on festivities they are mandated to participate in, and elmo is just forced to witness the economic collapse of sesame street. and maya angelou was there

#elmo monster #sesame street #the muppets #elmo's world #like i can't be. the only one #i watched this tape religiously as a kid #like im almost certain this existed ????#also all the elves went on strike i think

I had a thought while watching the Macy’s parade today; what would Midge and Lenny think of Sesame Street? Would either ever guest star? Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!!

Did I spend to long for an adult human watching Sesame Street clips? Yes. Am I ashamed? Not particularly.

If Midge and Lenny did spots on Sesame Street, it would likely be in the eighties, when the world doesn't see them as The Bad Kids, but two well-respected comedians starting to get up there in years.

Lenny's bit would be with Oscar the Grouch. Probably something about freedom of expression. Like, "it is okay to be you, even if you are a fucking grouch." But he wouldn't say fucking because it's Sesame Street.

And Midge would explain the word "Tall" with Big Bird. She'd use her high heels, and the joke is that no matter how high her heels are, she'll still never be as tall as Big Bird.

Midge might do something for Shalom Sesame (which is the version of Sesame Street often used for small children in American Hebrew schools to teach them Hebrew letters, words and numbers. Look it up! Both Seth Rogan and Jake Gyllenhaal have taped little segments for this! It's interspersed with clips from the Israeli version of Sesame Street), but I can't see Lenny agreeing to that lol.

#fic stuff #Midge x Lenny #tmmm #au #can you tell me how to get

< masterlist >

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"For the last time, hyung," Taehyung says annoyed as Jin laughs with Jimin and Jungkook as they sat on the couch "I'm not going to join you in this ridiculous -" he rips off his gloves and kicks off his shoes making the trio laugh more, Hobi wanted to laugh but he was holding back knowing Taehyung was gonna be more pissed if he did.

"Taehyung-ah, please," he had tears in his eyes now threatening to fall and he was turning a light shade of pink from holding his breath from laughing "It's only for an hour, all you gotta do if be my wingman,"

Jin guffawed as he gasped out a dad joke making Jimin and Jungkook laugh harder "He calls you a wingman because you got wings and you're a-"

Taehyung cuts him off before he could even continue "I KNOW I'M DRESSED AS A FUCKING BIRD, HYUNG, STOP POINTING IT OUT!"

From where he was standing, Hobi was able to see Yoongi who had his back towards the group, sitting on the brown piano bench, shoulders shaking, he had his head turned to Namjoon who was quietly laughing sitting on the balcony bench, he eventually laid on the bench covering his face with the open book he was reading - still laughing.

"I LOOK LIKE FUCKING BIG BIRD FROM SESAME STREET, HYUNG!" Taehyung's outburst finally causes Hobi, Namjoon and Yoongi to join the other boys who were already laughing loudly. Taehyung throws the bright bonnet he was supposed to wear along with pieces of his outfit dramatically to the ground making Hobi gasp for air trying to get him to get back in his costume "Taehyung, come on," he giggles "I need someone to be my Woodstock"

"He has wood, Hoba, but it ain't gonna be stocky for you," Jin gasps out and another round of laughter rings in the air this time Taehyung joins as he fell to the ground laughing. Jimin was on the ground in front of Jin and Jungkook, shoulders shaking violently as he laughed. Namjoon's laugh was heard all the way from the balcony, no doubt whoever was outside heard all of them laugh, especially Namjoon.

"Taehyung, please" Hoseok begged him as he laughed "Jimin won't go with me none of them would"

"Hyung, we said we'll go with you, but you didn't say anything about wearing a costume" Jimin wiped the tears in his eyes, Jungkook was also doing the same.

"But it's what makes the experience much more memorable," Hoseok whined pouting his lips hoping they would pity him

"Memorable for you, but memorably embarrassing for us" Yoongi points out "We'll go with you, Hoba, you can wear your costume if you want to, but no forcing us to wear one"

Hobi sighed in defeat and nodded "Fine, I just thought you guys wanted to enjoy it as much as I would if you wore character outfits too"

"We'll wear t-shirts, but not what you're wearing" Jin says

The following evening they stood at the convention center giggling at Hobi who had to get out of his costume at security and get back in it afterwards.

"Nice underwear, Hoba," Yoongi teased with a straight face making Taehyung hide behind Jin as he laughed silently. Hobi glared at him making fun of his white boxers that had different woodstock animations in a pattern and a plain white cotton t-shirt "Shut up, man. Like you don't wear underwear with bears on them" he shot back making the group snicker at them and Yoongi hitting Hoseok's arm with brochures he had on his hand. Once Hobi was inside his costume except his head gear, which was a giant Snoopy mascot, they made their way to the entrance of the main hall where they saw a lot, A LOT of people who were wearing articles of clothing that had snoopy or a Peanuts character on it, the caps were the cutest ones, but to their surprise, Hoseok seemed to be the only one wearing a mascot costume, making him a bit sad and embarrassed.

"I think you're over dressed, Hoba" Namjoon whispered to him, concerned when he witnessed the change in Hoseok's happy and excited reaction from no less that five minutes ago "You wanna exchange clothes?"

"It's okay, Joon-ah" Hobi swallowed a lump in his throat, "It's once in a while that events like this happen; A Peanuts Anniversary. I never thought I'd be able to attend one and here I am. I'm okay with my outfit," he smiles as he whispered the last part to himself. Namjoon heard him, but wasn't convinced, even so he decided to trust his friend's word and nodded.

"We'll be over at the Marvel Convention about three halls there" he points at the direction to their left "Give us a call if you wanna go home, okay?"

Namjoon has always been kind and considerate when it came to his family, and he was family, the boy were brothers ever since they met in middle school. And Hobi has always been thankful of everything Namjoon have done from protecting him from getting more beaten up by his bullies the day they met. Namjoon had been walking from music class with Yoongi on their way home when they heard the commotion in an alleyway and the voice of Hoseok begging the bullies not to hurt him and that he just wanted to go home. They were already a few punches is when Namjoon and Yoongi stepped in saying that they already called the cops and thay they were going to post the video of them beating up Hoseok if they didn't leave him alone, making them run off. They took him to the nearest hospital to have his broken nose fixed and his cuts cleaned. The trio have been close friends ever since and over the years the other boys were added to their group eventually when they had to go to college they moved to one apartment and were always helping each other out, but Namjoon was always the one who was like a protective father image to them.

Hoseok nodded at him and smiled at the other members who watched him as he stepped up to the security showing them his VIP pass which he worked so hard for; saving every penny he could just to experience euphoria in a, as he called it, Snoopy Convention. He wore his costume head which made him taller, even taller than Namjoon he felt happy being away from the spotlight, but he soon realized that he was wearing the wrong outfit if he wanted to lay low.

"Nice, outfit, bro" he received compliments from people whom he walked by all seeming very happy to see someone wear a Snoopy mascot. Maybe the outfit wasn't much of a bad idea after all. Looking around, he didn't know where to start. There were so many things that he wanted to see in the span of 4 hours before he had to get back home to sleep early and be up early for class tomorrow first thing in the morning. Deciding to make a pit stop on the mini bar that served both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, he would opt for a shot of liquid courage.

"What's your poison, Snoopy?" the bartender smiled "though I'd suggest that you take the head off in case kids see you drink," they both chuckle as Hobi took off Snoopy's head, as morbid as it sounded.

"Whiskey on the rocks, please" he smiles as the bartender nodded

"I wish I had your guts, man" the bartender shakes his head in disbelief "I wouldn't want to be the center of attention, let alone being the only Snoopy around here," placing the drink in front of him.

"I decided to seize the moment" Hobi sipped his drink "Events like this happen only once in a lifetime, so I went all out. Plus I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend another one"

"Don't be ridiculous, bro," he grins as he cleans a glass with a rag that was neatly folded next to him "Besides looks like kids are gonna love you in that" just as he says the word a mother and daughter step up to him asking for picture of him in a costume, once done he took his head gear off and finished off his drink, as he went on his little adventure. In the far end of the room there was a little auction happening with Peanuts pins that dated back to the 70s. There were two persons bidding on the little auction didn't seem too interested, they were probably around the same age as Jungkook. The enamel pin badges were a pair, with the images of Snoopy and Gigi kissing through the edge of the pin and it had a glittery coating with golden outlines of the characters. The bid started at 5,500 won, the autioneer looked dismayed at the audience and the two kids who didn't seem interested, and out of pity Hobi bidded.

"5000 won" Hobi shrugged, the auctioneer looks at him shocked "It's all I got with me right now, sorry," It's a lie, he's actually got 6000 won with him but decided to keep 1000 with him in case he gets hungry.

"Sold," the auctioneer bellows "to the Snoopy mascot and that's all the items for today folks. See you next time"

The two guys got up from their seats and made their way out. Hobi walked up to him and handed him the 5000 won which the man gratefully smiled and handed him the box of pins.

"Glad you got these," he chuckled "my wife kept bugging me that someone else deserves to have these since our kids don't seem to enthusiastic about the Peanuts world."

"That's sad, who wouldn't love these guys. They're amazing"

"I know but don't tell my son and niece that the piano he's using was signed by Schultz."

"Don't worry," Hobi giggled "I didn't hear a thing"

"Good, good," the man extended his hand "Bang Sihyuk, I'm a music major professor at the University. I think I've seen you around Song's dance classes?"

"Yeah" Hobi nodded surprised at the encounter "Jung Hoseok, my friends call me Hobi" the older man smiled

"You don't happen to be one of those kids that hangs out with Namjoon and Yoongi are you? The underground rappers? RM and Suga?"

"In fact, I am J-Hope," Sihyuk stared at him grinning

"Well how about that," he laughs "How come I don't see you in music class anymore?"

"Probably because the rapping scene isn't for me, dance is more of my thing" he rubs the back of his neck nervously "My feet and body are faster than my mouth, honestly"

After a beat, Sihyuk shakes his head "I highly doubt that. Namjoon invited me to one of those rap battle thingies, that he and his group competed in. I've seen what you can do, Hobi. And I think you've got it. Don't get me wrong you're good at dancing, but you're also good at rapping. That's probably why my niece thought you were really good and for what I know, she listens to classical music mostly because she's a ballerina."

"I took ballet for a couple of months last year but gave up after," he chuckled "the kids were making fun of me being too stiff and my toes hurt too much"

"But you're still dancing, now that's something," he grins "tell you what, whenever you feel like it drop by music classes with Joon and Yoongi, just sit in. I'm sure you'll enjoy it"

"I'll try, sir" Hobi gets up shaking his hand

"You know, my niece likes the while Peanuts franchise but she never asked for those saying that if it was meant to be for her - at least one of the pins - she hopes to received it from someone like her, a fan. Kinda like how I met my wife"

"Is that so?" Hobi smiles

"Yeah, when I met my wife it was somewhat of convention like this one except we were at the auction, bid-fighting one of the first published prints on the newspaper. I bid the highest but I bought it for her just to ask her out, she kept calling it an expensive date

She bought those pins just after my son was born but, like I said, he's not much of a fan, and now it's yours" Bang Sihyuk smiles as he places the strap of his bag on his shoulder, preparing to leave "Take good care of it, kid, it's not gold or diamonds, but the sentimental value is more expensive than any other currency in the world. I'll see you around. Enjoy your time and I heard there's another one like you here" he wiggles his eyebrows as he heads off and Hobi waves goodbye, still rooted on his spot. What does he mean 'one of me'? Hobi wondered as he sat back down on the of the seats. Opening the casing of the pins, he pulls one out, Gigi and turns it over.

'Neverending forever my universe, yours forever'. Checking the other pin, it had the same engraved message. Hobi smiles in awe at how sweet the couple was with each other and decided that he would do what Professor Bang Sihyuk did, except he was going to give the Snoopy pin to the girl that will steal his heart. Hoseok was snapped out of his thoughts when his phone rang from his costume pocket. Staring at the screen he picked up Taehyung's call.

"Hyung" Tae yelled out of breath "Hyung, you've gotta see this!"

"See what, Tae?"

"Someone's dressed like you, but Gigi!" Namjoon yells "We went outside to buy some chicken nuggets because were craving and right in front of us was Gigi! We thought it was you but Gigi had a purple tutu on and guess what she ordered, Hoba?!"

"What?" he asked bored as put the box case in his hidden bag; Snoopy's tummy.

"A hamburger meal with a crap load of pickles and her beverage of choice was Sprite" Hobi stopped in his tracks hearing it, the boys gave him hell for his combination of hamburger and sprite insisting Pepsi or Coke tasted better with it. Hobi found it endearing and shocking that he wasn't alone.

"I think she's there, hyung. She left about 10 minutes ago headed to the convention building. I hope you get to meet her, hyung. You won't miss her, obviously" with the last word added Hoseok heard snickering and he decided that they were probably playing a joke on him because of the outfit making him a bit sad.

"Look guys, I know the costume was a lot but you didn't have to go this far just to tease me, you could've done it straight in my face"

"Wait, hyung, no! We're not joking around, there is someone who's dressed as Gigi and she's probably there,"

"Yeah, yeah, I gotta go, the line for the Snoopy shaped cotton candy is about to leave" Hobi hurriedly said as he hung up putting his mascot head back on and jogging to the cart.

"Motherfuc-" Hobi cursed as he collided what felt like a wall and fell flat on his ass, mascot head flying off. Rubbing the spot on his lower back that collided with the floor "Bro! Watch where they fuck you're go... ing" Hobi trailed off as he looked at who he slammed into,

"It ain't my fucking fault you weren't looking where you're going you idiot!" As she looks up, her eyes widen at the realization of who she bumped, or rather collided into.

"Oh, you're J-Hope, right?" she asked hesitantly as she slowly got up with the help of Hobi, holding the fallen Gigi head by the ear in one hand and the other was holding his hand. Hobi felt a bit warm in his outfit just by looking at her, let alone being in close proximity.

"Yes, but that's my stage name. My real name is Ju-"

"Jung Hoseok, you're taking up Fine Arts and you major in Music, but you lean more towards dance; Hip hop specifically, you stopped sub-majoring in other music classes I heard... and noticed, but that's alright, it suits you more." she said in a fast manner that had Hoseok's head spinning

"Y-you know me?" Hoseok stuttered as stared at her wide eyed "H-how do you-?"

"Well..." she trailed off as played Gigi's ears between her fingers "I'm kind of a fan, you see. I first saw you during orientation and I was really impressed with your dancing, then I saw you in the ballet classes that the school offered to kids during the summer, but you didn't stay for long. Not to mention, I see you in almost all of the school's music events and I've... attended a few of your... underground rap battles with Joon and Yoongi..." Hobi was about to respond when a voice interrupted.

"Are you two gonna stand there all day or are you gonna buy some cotton candy before I leave?" the man selling the cotton candy asked them. Hobi held his arm out, motioning her to go ahead of him. As he stood behind her, he couldn't help squint his eyes and send off a quick thank you prayer to whoever was up there for making this moment happen. He finally found out that his first crush has noticed him, is talking to him, bumped into him and to add it all up, she's a fan of his work.

"So you like Hip-Hop and rap?" he asked as he watched her smile get brighter as her cotton candy was being shaped into the shape of Snoopy's head.

"I didn't," she said as she looks back at him "Until I heard you, Joon and Yoongi at Mr. Bang's riff-off in our second year. Not sure if you remember it though, usually the acapella club hosts it, but that year everyone who was majoring in music and dance were supposed to group up and battle. My group didn't make it to the Semi-finals but yours did. It's BTS, right?"

"Yeah, it is" he smiled, before turning and handing a bill to the the vendor "that's for two, I'll pay for the lady's candy"

"Y-you don't have to do that," her eyes widen as she looked up from her tummy-bag where she was grabbing her money "I was actually going to pay for yours too"

"Maybe next time, Y/n" he tries to hide his smile hoping she'll catch his drift.

"Next time?" she asks, watching him nibble at Snoopy's cotton candy nose

"Yeah, next time... If you're up for it...." he trails off, looking down at his candy avoiding eye contact

"It's a date," she quickly says before shaking her head "I'm mean-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that,"

"No, no, no, it's okay" he reassures her "It's a date,"

Y/n blushes as she nods, looking down at her cotton candy as she starts picking the flossy thing and eats it with a smile. At that moment Hobi discreetly pulls out his phone and takes a picture of her eating the candy and another picture he took focused on his candy and her, blurred in the background. He sends that to the group chat with the other boys.

🐿️I found her

🐨 Finally, Tae and Jimin wouldn't shut up about how cute you both look.

🐻 Because they are!!

🐻 Imagine! It's Snoopy and Gigi!

🐰Did you make friends, hyung?

🐿️ I did! You wouldn't believe who it is!

🐥 Who?

🐿️ I'm pretty sure you could have a wild guess, Jjiminie

🐥Wait... you don't mean....?

"So, should I call you Hoseok or J-Hope?" she asks almost done with her candy, making him ignore his buzzing phone and look up at hrt beauty.

"Hobi," he mutters "My friends call me Hobi."

"Alright then, Hobi. How about we get out of here for they lock us inside?" she suggested and when Hobi looked around he finally noticed that the convention hall was finally cleaning up, getting ready to close. He nodded as tucks the mascot head under one of his arms and walked beside her while they walk towards the exit.

"Do you need a lift?" he asks suddenly "I could drive you home?"

"Nah, I came here with my uncle he's probably waiting for me in the parking lot," he nods in understanding "What about you? Did you come here alone?"

"No, my friends and I drove here," he explained "They were afraid I was gonna be bullied because of the suit so they got in the car and eventually got interested in the Marvel convention down the hall"

Hobi opened the door for her, once she was out, he carefully walked backwards to avoid his Snoopy butt getting stuck in the door. Turning around to face Y/n, he finds her giggling. He chuckles at the sound.

"What?" he asks "Do I have something on my face?"

"No," she giggles "Your ass is too fucking thick in that costume, you had to literally back up your dump truck"

Behind Y/n the other boys were standing next to Hobi's SUV chuckling, while Jungkook and Yoongi were quietly laughing in the backseat.

"She has the same potty mouth that hyung has" Jimin giggled at Taehyung who replied "Remind me not to bring them alcohol, their potty mouth might be worse when intoxicated" Yoongi chuckled at the two's joke who themselves can't stop giggling as they were tipsy.

"Um, Y/n these are my friends," Hobi says as he introduces his friends to her awkwardly.

"So, you're the Gigi we saw at McDonald's" Namjoon says "You have a strange order combination,"

"Oh," she says her cheeks turning a slight tinge of pink

"Yeah, it was strange but nothing new," Jimin says as he leans on the window of the passenger side "Hyung orders the same thing every time"

Y/n look at Hoseok in surprise, he mirrored the look before stuttering and looking at Jimin.

"Y-Ya! Why did you have to broadcast that to to everyone?"

"Relax, hyung," Jungkook says "We all know your weird combo, plus Y/n over here has the same combo, it's no surprise."

"Do you need a ride home? Would you like to join us?“ Taehyung asks her, eyes glinting mischievously, as he leans to the middle row where Jungkook and Yoongi were sitting.

"It's alright," she politely wave off his offer before Hobi could talk back at Taehyung "Hobi asked me the same thing, but my uncle's over there waiting" she pointed at a car in the open parking lot. The boys turned to the direction she pointed, Namjoon and Yoongi's eyes widen in familiarization her... uncle.

Hobi tried to look at where Y/n was pointing only to find a man who was carefully placing a box in the trunk of a white SUV.

"Uncle!" Y/n yells, making the man turn around. The other boys, as well as Hobi's jaws drop as they get a good look at her Uncle.

"You're uncle is Bang Sihyuk?!" Yoongi yells from inside the car, suddenly feeling wide awake.

"Woah," Jimin gasped in surprise "What a plot twist..."

"it's not a plot twist at this point," Taehyung laughed

"Well, sorry to break it to you Hobi but we gotta go, we got a project to finish up tomorrow" Namjoon says as he smiles apologetically at Y/n "Sorry, Y/n,"

"That's all right" she waves off his apology and she tilts her head at her uncle's direction "He's in a hurry to get me back home before my parents notice I'm missing" she chuckled

"All right, we'll see you around" he nods as he pats Hobi's shoulder and mutter "Say goodbye to your girl" low enough for Y/n not to hear, to which Hobi nods, before Joon sat next to Yoongi.

"Well, I guess I'll see you around in campus" he smiles a little as he plays with Snoopy's ears.

"Yeah, you will, especially if rejoin music classes or ballet, but you'll definitely see me around" she smiles "oh, and don't forget our date"

"Date?" Hobi stared at her shocked, behind him the other boys looked at each other as Namjoon and Jin ask each other "Did she just say date? As in a date with Hobi?"

"He better keep it up, he's getting luckier by the minute" Jungkook chuckles as they all watch Y/n and Hobi interact, unbeknownst to them, Bang Sihyuk was leaning on the side of his car waiting for his niece and when he reads her lips say the word 'date', he shakes his head chuckling "Aiiish~ he better not break her heart or he's in trouble" he says to himself as he rounds the car to gets in and warm up.

"Yeah, you said earlier when we were having cotton candy"

"Oh, right," he starts to think of where he could take her next off the top of his head but came up with nothing just in time for her to say "Han River, next weekend... maybe Saturday?

"We could have a picnic and fried chicken there." she suggested and Hobi could think of a better idea making nod enthusiastically at her suggestion "You're on, I'll text you"

"It's a date," they beam at each other as Hobi gives her a tiny wave goodbye before getting on the middle row seats of the car handing Snoopy's head to Jungkook who gladly took it and put it on his head making Jimin laughs from the passengers side, and Taehyung and Jin laughing from the backseat.

Hoseok walked around the front of the car to head towards the driver's seat, when half way he stops in his tracks as he feels the box that had the pins that he purchased from the auction earlier and remembered the story that Bang Sihyuk told him. Turning around, he looks at Y/n who looked confused, and slowly he walked her way. As he did, he felt like his life flashed before his eyes; memories of orientation day when he showed off his dancing skills and saw Y/n jaw drop and endless happy seal like clapping when he was performing. Moments from the underground rap battles he used to run away from home to attend to just to be free, and immediately spotting her in the crowd yelling and hollering along with the crowd of people. But the most memorable memory, last summer when he found out she was a ballerina helped teaching kids to dance and he decided to take lessons before he sadly decided that he had to drop it because it wasn't his thing, but would continue watching from afar.

Taking out the box, the opens it and gently hands her the Snoopy pin and says "I bought this at the auction before we met from who I now found out was Mr. Bang. I think, that you deserve to have my other half, to remember me and this day. I'm keeping Gigi because it reminds me of you." Y/n stares at the Snoopy pins, and Hobi could literally see the wheels turning in her head "You owe me, a date. A lot of them." he teases her, and she finally looks up, eyes a bit glossy.

"S-sure" she stuttered "However many dates you want, Hoba" making Hoseok smile brighly as he carefully leans forward to kiss her cheek before walking back to the car making his way to the driver's side. And before he got in, he yelled "See you on Saturday," as he waved goodbye and drove away the other guys waving at her as well.

When they were far enough the other boys started yelling at how smooth Hobi was in asking her out, but Hobi didn't pay them any mind as the memories flashed before his mind as he drove making him smile and as he did he felt proud of himself for asking her to stick around for a long time.

In the Name of Cultural Diversity...

Story 2 written for @yyh-revival ‘s Kuwabara appreciation week!

summary: Kuwabara is serving as a translator for Mukuro and a "Prince." It's very boring, and if this so-called prince keeps sneaking in insults directed at him, Kuwabara's going to start a fight. (2k+words)

****

'Carrot, explain to King Mukuro that our people can not part with our sacred river, Ong-shi. It is not negotiable,' an arrogant voice pecked at Kuwabara's mind.

Pecked.

Literally.

Kuwabara had been listening to this so-called "Prince," drone on and on in his head for over an hour, and that was just today. He had been dealing with this guy for three days now of back and forth negotiations, and Kuwabara was getting quite a headache.

The "prince," was a self-claimed demon prince, from a secret territory referred to as Onlin. The Onlin territory had decided upon Mukuro's second consecutive ruling as King of the Demon world, after the latest Makai Tournament, to reveal themselves to try and form a peace treaty. They wished to try an exchange of goods; an exchange of culture. The only problem was, that the demons from Onlin looked like giant birds.

Really.

"Like Big fucking bird from Sesame Street!" Yusuke had actually cackled out of their earshot.

While their looks weren't such a big deal, it was their lack of ability to form a language that others could understand. And so the only way the Onlin people could talks, was through telepathy... but it seemed to come at a risk to those who were not high level psychics.

Many had tried to talk with the Onlin demons, but after only half an hour, those that tried the psychics would pass out from nosebleeds or terrible migraines.

After the fifth failed attempt, Mukuro reached out to Kuwabara. She needed a translator.

"It's a rare opportunity to talk to the Onlin people. They have advanced medicines and herbs that could be beneficial to all of the Makai. I'd like to find out how to convince them to keep their territory open for trade. For the sake of... let's call it, cultural diversity, won't you help?" Mukuro had asked in that solemn and slightly mischievous way of hers. And then she'd tilted her head at him, which Kuwabara hated.

He had described Mukuro once as an injured cat, and she exploited him endlessly about it. Because he was all soft about it. She knew that head tilt tugged at his heartstrings in all the right ways, and he'd have no choice but to aid her.

He'd agreed and was now immensely regretting it.

He should have at least asked to be paid to deal with all this... tediousness.

Mukuro had made Kuwabara put on an outfit in her preferred colors, black, and tope, which he hated. She wanted the Onlin demons to recognize Kuwabara as someone important to her, but Kuwabara wasn't into the glum choice of clothing. No offense to either her or Hiei who preferred them, but Kuwabara preferred brighter tones. Kuwabara thought he looked better in blue. The darker tones just made him glow in the dark.

The Onlin prince had been quick to point out Kuwabara had "sickly white glowing skin, and it was grotesque."

That had been Kuwabara's first introduction to the demon.

Also, Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, as well almost every demon friend they had made over the years, had made some excuse to be in the room to watch Mukuro try to make nice with the Onlin people. And to watch Kuwabara stumble his way through the ordeal as a translator. They all seemed to be quite amused at Kuwabara's nervous back and forth with the Onlin prince and Mukuro.

'She is unreasonable,' The prince would squawk.

"Uh, Mukuro... he thinks you're unreasonable," Kuwabara would translate apologetically.

Mukuro would flash her teeth, not a smile but in threat, and then say, "Tell him he is a fool and is trying my patience. If he wants to do trade, then I suggest he do that. Offer a trade that's worth something."

"I'm not calling him a fool," Kuwabara would whine.

Mukuro would arch a brow, "Translate it all Kazuma."

And he would. And then there'd be a great big deal of angry puffs, followed by rude snickerings from his friends. This was just making it all worse. This has been a long three days.

Kuwabara thinks his headache would be decreased by tenfold if Yusuke wasn't grinning at him across the room as Kuwabara had to stumble through translating. He knew Yusuke thought it was probably the big words that the prince was making Kuwabara repeat. Words like, "Sesquicentennial," or, "eleemosynary," and even, "Machiavellianism." Kuwabara thinks that the last word is made up, or at least was said just to make Kuwabara stammer through it.

Though he supposes it is real since the "Prince" used it to describe himself. Mukuro and Hiei had both sneered at the descriptor.

'Carrot! Why are you not translating?' a shrill voice queried in Kuwabara's head, and he winced as ears rang.

No, his ears weren't ringing, it was his brain.

Kuwabara looked at what was probably the worst part about this whole translator deal.

The self-claimed Prince of the Onlin Territory, Bishivel. He was about eight feet in height and was iridescently colored in hues of white, cream, and flecks of a bright blue. He looked like a beautiful giant Peacock, and Kuwabara thinks he must have the personality of one too. Bishivel is exceedingly haughty and rude.

Kuwabara was introduced to him three days ago, and the Prince immediately started firing off insults. He also kept calling Kuwabara carrot and inferring that's all he was. A light, healthy snack that Bishivel would rather do away with. It was an odd insult, that was just strange rather than hurtful.

Kuwabara, ever the peace maker in his older years, had not bothered translating the rude name he was being called constantly.

(If you could really call carrot rude at all.)

But if this guy kept going on Kuwabara was going to have to go back to his street brawling days!

He was getting to his limit!

"Kazuma," Mukuro's voice cuts through the ringing in Kuwabara's head, and he turns to face her.

She frowns, leaning forward in her chair, Hiei at her side, his red eyes narrowed in suspicion, "Do you need a break? Speaking with the Onlin people is taxing... we don't want you to get overwhelmed. Many passed out dealing with them in the first few minutes, and you've been at this for a few days."

Behind Mukuro and Hiei, Kuwabara's other friends sit. Yusuke, Kurma, Chuu, Jin, Toya, Suzuki... and so on and so forth. There are quite a lot of people back there actually. They had been explained off as body guards, and people of interest, but now they don't look so amused. They look worried and irritated, and Yusuke is practically leaning out of his seat, anxious to come to Kuwabara's side.

Bishivel puffs up his chest, 'Why does she want to stop? We're not even halfway through our discussion! Tell the king you can keep going carrot!'

Kuwabara clears his throat, "Prince Bishivel is against allowing the use of his territory's river. It is sacred to them, called the Ong-shi-" Kuwabara said the "sh" sound like "ch," and Bishivel is screeching in his head.

Squawking.

'No, no no that is not how it is said at all!'

Kuwabara winces, closing his eyes for a moment.

"I didn't ask you to keep translating, I asked if you were alright," Mukuro says seriously, sitting up straighter in her chair. She is leaning forward too, her good eye narrowing, while her other eye stares into him. Expecting the truth.

'Carrot! Straighten up! If you're going to work for me, then you're going to have some decorum about it!' Bishivel's voice grates louder in Kuwabara's head.

The ringing is piercing, and Kuwabara bends over as he feels something crack inside his head. He lets out a grunt of pain, and his hand flies up to his nose as blood gushes suddenly and rapidly out of it.

He takes a step away from Prince Bishivel, throwing up the walls of his mind to cut the demon's shrill demands out of his head.

Bishivel, clearly not expecting to suddenly be shut out of Kuwabara's mind, reaches out and grabs Kuwabara by the bicep, and squeezes him painfully tight.

That is really the last straw.

Pushed to the edge of his patience, Kuwabara snaps, "Alright big bird I've had enough out of you! I'm supposed to be your translator, not your slave! And if you call me Carrot one more time!" Kuwabara's threat hangs empty, because Hiei is suddenly at his side, steadying Kuwabara as he stumbles.

"Head up. Open your eyes," Hiei orders in a low voice. His grip on Kuwabara is powerful and firm. He flares up his aura, it swirling protectively near Kuwabara, and Bishivel drops Kuwabara's arm.

Kuwabara opens his eyes not even realizing he'd had them shut.

Yusuke and Kurama are coming up behind Hiei, rapidly reaching for Kuwabara, their expressions grim.

Mukuro has risen from her throne, and she has Hiei's sword pressed into Bishivel's breast.

The room is suddenly very tense.

"You popped a blood vessel in your eye... you've been at this too long," Kurama says when he reaches Kuwabara. His eyes are darting over Kuwabara's face, diagnosing Kuwabara's pains before he even fully reached him.

Yusuke is muttering to himself as he takes Kuwabara's arm and throws it over his shoulder, forcing Kuwabara to lean against him. Kuwabara catches a few words from Yusuke, "Stupid, stubborn, noble Kuwabara!"

"What did you say Bishivel called you?" Hiei asks, and his tone is very low, and angry. He still had Kuwabara's forearm and is still supporting Kuwabara so he does not tip forward anymore.

"Did you say he called you carrot... or was it Karot?" Mukuro asks voice as icy as Hiei's.

Kuwabara notices the demons in the room grow stiff and agitated as Mukuro says, "Karot." It sounds just like the word carrot to Kuwabara, but with more emphasis on the "rot" part of the word.

Keeping his nos pinched Kuwabara looks at Yusuke, but he shrugs not really sure what "Karot," means either.

"Karot," Hiei says, voice loud, and sharp, "is demonic slang. A derogatory word for humans. A name that means they are rotten... not even worth eating."

Kuwabara feels Bishivel desperately prying at the wall of Kuwabara's mind, trying futilely to gain access to Kuwabara's mind so that he might explain. Or have Kuwabara explain. Kuwabara keeps his walls up high. That creep is not getting back into his head.

Kuwabara winces a little bit, and shrugs, "Dunno... but he's been an asshole this whole time."

"And you didn't say anything because Mukuro needed your help with these negotiations, correct?" Kurama prods gently.

Kuwabara shrugs, and then he hears something hit the ground.

He tries to turn, but Yusuke won't let him, and then Mukuro walks back into his field of view, wiping Hiei's bloodied blade clean.

"Well, the talks are over. I warned him to treat our translator with the utmost care. The Onlin people can go back to their territory and lock their doors. I won't be dealing with them if they dare treat one of my people this shoddily." Mukuro looks back at Kuwabara sternly, "Kazuma."

"But what about..." Kuwabara is in a bit of shock. Did they really just kill the "prince" of the Onlin people-a hidden secret tribe of demons-because he was rude to Kuwabara?

"I care for very few," Mukuro says simply and returns Hiei's blade, "Not a prince, not a king, not even a god can assume they rank above any of those that I care for. Now..."

And Mukuro scoops Kuwabara up bridal style, Kuwabara flushed, flattered, and horrified all in one.

"Now," she resumes speaking, carefully carrying Kuwabara out of her makeshift throne room, "Let's get you taken care of. I know everyone will be feeling better when we get you patched up."

Kuwabara hears the others agree, and is too stunned to respond.

Stunned, and feeling rather flattered over everyone's concern...

...Even if he does feel a little guilty about the now very dead Prince of Onlin on the floor.

Revisiting Sesame Street in 2024 - What's it like nowadays?

Taking a break from the Fayetteville Film festival to review some other shows! Sesame Street is a classic show that many folks need no introduction to. Debuting all the way back in 1969, this adorable children's program starred a variety of lovable Jim Henson Muppet characters who would teach kids about the world around them. The show is broken into many different segments and even different visual styles such as live action muppetry, cartoon animations, and cg animations.

The show has many fun characters including:

The huge and sweet Big Bird

His best friend Mr. Snuffleupagus (who scared me as a kid but I think he's a sweetheart now)

The treat-loving Cookie Monster

The tiny Elmo with his little heart of gold

Grover, a silly monster who also happens to be a superhero!

the trash-can dwelling Oscar The Grouch (who is actually pretty nice despite his grumpiness)

The Count, a number loving vampire

and adorably dysfunctional couple Bert and Ernie (Fuck whatever's "canon", they're cute together).

Big Bird gives Snuffy a hug.

Impressively - and thankfully - it is still going strong all these years later, with many episodes being available to watch right on youtube. I certainly don't have time to collect and watch all of a TV show that's been running longer than I've been alive, so I'm glad there was a nice sampling of episodes I could watch for free.

Grover is a beautiful butterfly!

Being a show aimed at little kids, the humor and content isn't as adult-oriented as in The Muppet Show, so while a lot of the jokes may be a bit too cheesy for grown-ups, it's still a wholesome, sweet show with some really catchy music too (Several of their little songs are stick stuck in my head)! That being said, The one Super Grover segment I watched actually did get a few chuckles out of me, Grover in general is just wonderfully goofy and cute. He has a sort of Peridot or Trixie Lulamoon confidence to him that's incredibly charming. As for the show's educational content, most of it will be simple stuff that most adults already know, but sometimes even I got to see some new things! (for example, I remember learning about how the water flow inside a sink works from an Sesame Street short.).

This slow-mo shot of Big Bird happily frolicking during the intro is delightful.

Modern technology is shown off in the show quite well, while thankfully not abandoning the charming physical sets and of course the live action Muppet characters themselves. The show's intro has some really nice little slow motion effects that are both whimsical and also feel like someone is having a lot of fun with their fancy camera. 😁 CGI effects feel seamless, aside from this one really weird looking cg animation on a pile of hay in a super Grover short. Interestingly, I found out from The Muppet Wiki that Sesame street has been utilizing digital effects as far back as the 70s!

Another aspect of the show that is more enjoyable for me as an adult is seeing all of the celebrity cameos that have appeared on the show over the years! Just from the random YouTube episodes I watched, I got to see cameos from Patton Oswalt, Bill Nye, and Whoopi Goldberg! I actually collected a list from various sites of all the celebrities I like who have appeared on the show, and I'm hoping to look up and see if I watch all the clips of them. :) Similarly, the show has done various parodies over the years as well. One of my favorites was their Game of Thrones Parody titled "Respect is Coming". One of their newer parodies is "Jurassic Cookie", where Cookie monster has to figure out how to calm down a giant rampaging dinosaur cookie.

Cameos galore!

I think the last bit I wanted to touch on was the adorable character Mr. Noodle and his surprisingly large family. Mr. Noodle is a character always seen in the Elmo's World segments, and it's unclear as to whether this character just exists in Elmo's imagination or if he actually has a magical world he travels to with his little Elmo powers. Anyway, Mr. Noodle is a friend who lives in a mysterious backrooms like area and he doesn't speak but instead only communicates in gestures and pantomimes. He has a really cool mustache and when you can't see his hair, he even kinda looks like Dr. Robotnik. He's also got multiple family members living with him too, including atleast 3 siblings, and a dog (There's even more siblings on the wiki page!)! The whole Noodle family is adorable and I admire the talent of the actors who can convey so much energy and whimsy without even speaking.

Revisiting the show was a lot of fun, and I'm probably going to go searching for all those celebrity cameo videos after I post this review up. Despite being aimed at kids, it has a heartwarming feel that adults can enjoy too, and with so much ugliness in the world, we can always use more sweet, positive characters like Elmo and Big Bird. <3

The Wall Around Our Love (Donald Trump x Elmo)

Jamal Gripperton's Masterlist

A/N (if you haven't already read it go read it now then come back)

•••

**News Report To Alla dem Sesame Street Citizens**

"Breaking news! This just in, Trump has allegedly claimed to build a wall all through Sesame Street, including some border laws. Anyone who objects against it, will be deported. This is Big Bird, and you're watching: BBC" (iykyk)

Elmo was absolutely heart broken. He felt as if his heart had shattered in two. Sesame Street was his home he couldn't be separated from his friends, they were like family to him, a family he didn't have. He wouldn't let this happen he HAD to do something about it. Trump couldn't do that, he had no right to, especially for no reason other than the fact he just wanted to. No matter how much power trump had, he just couldn't do that. Elmo was gonna stand up for Sesame Street, his home, his life, his world. He had to do something, he just had to, and he was, even if it meant he had to get deported.

**Fast forward 2 days later**

Trump had just arrived to sesame street after a grueling, tedious and exhausting plane ride to Sesame Street. He just couldn't believe he had to work beside freakin puppets, and his overly high ego thought he was way above them (Dude thought wrong). About 15 minutes later, he got a message from his manager, AKA, his good ol friend John.

Johnny <3 : Hey Donny there's some red puffball dude from sesame street and he wants to do a live interview if u want i can cancel it.

Donald Duck: Naw dawg its fine, ill do it only cuz i wanna delay actually buildin the wall with these air heads as much as possible.

Johnny <3 : Sure dude i'll tell em to make it for 3 that ok w u?

Donald Duck: Ya ya dats cool.

Johnny <3: Kk baii man see ya @ da bar later

Donald Duck: You know it ma man

**Fast Forward 3 PM**

Elmo was impatiently waiting until the clock FINALLY striked 3 as he stood outside of the BBC news building.

"2:40, ugh, when will it be 3?!" he couldn't bear the thought of waiting even more. 2:45, he swore that it had been about 20 minutes since he last checked the time. After about a million times of turning his teletubbie phone on and off and leaning against the wall, the clock finally struck 3. In the blink of an eye, he was ushered inside and sent to hair and makeup before he had got to see the news set in person and it was weirdly intimidating.

He was snatched out of his thoughts by a hand on his shoulder. "Hey there Elmo! I think you already know who I am, but just so you know, were gonna start filming in 2 minutes so you should probably get on the set." Big bird proclaimed with a friendly smile. "Wow, I can't believe it... it's actually you!" Elmo beamed in pure disbelief.

"You bet it's me lil chickadee! Well, I'll talk to ya later, were about to start." Big Bird reminded the fuzzy red headed fellow as he started to walk off in the distance. Elmo rushed to his seat but stopped dead in his tracks. Blue ocean-like orbs struck him speechless. How could one evil man look so... godly? He didn't even notice he was staring at him star-gazed until...

"Oy! You! Yes you! Red ball of yarn! Get your ass here so we can just get this over with" Trump barked angrily. And holy pancakes dude, this expired 2-year-old couch cheeto had a goddamn temper.

A couple minutes passed and the cameras started rolling. He was now on live TV for all of Sesame Street to see.

"Good afternoon Sesame Street, this is the daily 3 o'clock news, and today we're here with Donald Trump and our city representative, Elmo. How are you doing Elmo?" Big Bird announced with a pearly smile. Oh no, Elmo couldn't talk in front of probably all of Sesame Street, it was way too nerve-wracking, but he had too for his home.

"Thanks for asking Big Bird, and I'm doing great..." Elmo managed to speak. "That's great! What about you Trump?" Big Bird pried. "I'm doing fine" Trump muttered. "Okaaayyyy... well enough dilly-dallying! So, Trump, why'd you decide to build a wall through our town?" Big Bird asked with slight annoyance.

"Well, because I believe having a wall separating the town in two, would improve the economical growth, as you won't have your family as close so, you wouldn't have as many distractions to your everyday life." Trump explained "The amount of days off per average here is outrageous and is why your podunk of a town is so broke. But remember, I'm only doing this because I care about the citizens of Sesame Street and don't want to see your town crumble down, which I bet you don't either." Trump finished with a grin. What was this overcooked orange biscuit going on about? It would only make things worse, clearly.

"With all due respect Trump, I think that would only make things worse, I mean, taking away their motivation? Sounds pretty idiotic if you ask me." Elmo defended; he wouldn't let him win. "I have to go with Elmo on that one Trump" Big Bird agreed. "You're only saying that because he's your friend, one day you'll see the benefit of this and regret your opinion." Trump declared and motioned for the cameras to stop.

After one last glance around the room, Trump left. Even if what Trump had said offended Elmo, he still had a burning feeling to go after him, and so he did.

"Trump! Wait up!" Elmo called, hoping he could hear him. "What do you want midget?" Trump asked, irritated, wanting to walk away but... why didn't he? "Well, I walked here, and since you said you cared about the citizens of Sesame Street, I was wondering if you could drive me home?" Elmo cooed. "Can't you just walk home again?" Trump replied. In response Elmo looked up at him with puppy eyes "Please?" Elmo begged. "Ugh FINE get in" Trump finally budged, annoyed as hell.

Throughout the car ride, Elmo saw Don-don-

No, TRUMP

Adjusting his pants. The suddenly, the car stopped.

"I can't keep driving this car with you here-" Trump said as he moved closer to where Elmo was sitting "And not being able to fuck the brains outta you" Trump finished his sentence by smashing his lips against Elmo's fuzzy ones. Elmo was dumbfounded, this wasn't really happening... was it? Nevertheless, this was dream worthy. Trump's tongue was exploring Elmo's mouth making sure not to miss anything.

Elmo had stripped Don-don bare to the cheeks. He had looked away for a split second, when he felt a wrinkly hand on his poofy yarn stick. Don-don's mouth was on him, and it was simply otherworldly, his experienced tongue wrapped around his dong, sucking and licking all around his length took his breath away - literally. Multiple more times of licking and sucking Elmo's special sauce squirted out.

"Hop on me Elmy" Don-don implied with a growing smirk on his face. Elmo obviously did and rode Trumpy like a cowboy, jumpin up and down, soon enough, the black interior of the car was snowy white. Trumpy and Elmo were breathless after what seemed like hours of slamming into each other with full force, moans and squeaking the only things you could hear in that poor car.

"Trumpyy?" Elmo cooed "Yes Elmy?" Trump softly replied, "Its probably past my bedtime, can you drive me home now?" Elmo asked with a yawn, "Sure thing Elmy, anything for you my precious red-dongled baby. Heck, I'll even stop the wall project for you, anything to make you happy Elmy" Trump responded pulling him in for a hug.

Trump dropped off Elmy at his house and blew him a kiss "I'll see you soon sugar"

"Elmo will be waiting for you Trumpy!"

"I know you will!"

And with that, Trump drove away with the rising sun.

Who knew a project meant to separate just brought them closer?
