#and why is Frank an emu

[r3dmooon]

👋 Hi! Uh I was wondering if you would do a Wally x reader (gn) with reader being a zoologist showing him pictures of animals! I feel like he would be rlly interested in wolves and ostriches because they are like Barnaby and Poppy but just not so colorful. And not on two legs. :>

a/n: omg so many people have been requesting even tho my requests are closed 😭😭 (but I like the ideas so I'm writing them anyways 😔)

Master List

❥When you moved in all the neighbors were curious as to why you had what seemed to be a sanctuary. Some parts caged, an indoor structure, and then your home which was a bit on the big side.

❥Boy were they fascinated when you brought your variety of animals. You had many different types of fish, foxes, wolves, panthers, cougars, ostriches, parakeets, monkeys, lizards, snakes…it existed, you probably had it. 

❥You even had a little Venus Flytrap plant <3 It ate insects…it's close enough (shhh this is the self indulgent part).

❥The others came by a lot. It was like every time they visited, they found a whole new batch of animals they swore you didn’t have before. Frank loved coming by to see the insects you kept. 

❥Besides Frank, the other person who came around the most was Wally. He couldn’t help but his curiosity for all the animals you had! You’ve brought a whole new world to them all (even though it’s technically out there…) and he loved the constant little facts you couldn’t help sharing to him. He just watched you intently as you told him that you feed your Betta fish live mealworms so it had more vibrant colors. 

❥He’d also ask questions. “Barnaby came from what?” He was quite astounded that those…intimidating wolves were technically Barnaby’s ancestors. He found it quite fascinating since the dog seemed like the exact opposite.

❥”What did you call that? An ostrich? It reminds me of Poppy, just less colorful.” Wally would muse. “Ostriches and Emus are some of the biggest birds! Perhaps Poppy is a descendant of one.” You would humor. 

❥I think Wally would love your chameleons the most. He loves watching their eyes dart around. Not to mention how they eat. He finds it so cool watching its tongue dart out faster than he could process. Not to mention that it’s color changing! He gets so much inspiration, wanting to paint it and then watch it walk over the painting and change its colors. So fascinating to him.

❥Wally will also stay by your side and watch you feed them all. For someone not used to watching wild animals feed…he’s not too phased. He just smiled as you fed your Venus Flytrap small crickets, to watching you feed your Grizzly Bear whole salmon!

❥He admires how much you go out of you way to take care of all your animals. He even offers to help you! Though ferrets and cats he tends to avoid. They’re just such rascals and he would hate for them to ruin his hair :( (But he can’t stand the sad look you give and ends up with ferrets and cats alike covering him from head to toe! They love him sm).

❥In conclusion, Wally becomes your partner of maintaining the zoo you’ve created. It just means he can spend more time with you after all <3

hey frank! tell me about some animals you like

My favorite animal is the whale shark! It's the biggest fish. I have a cartoon whale shark I got in a museum a long time ago. It's about a foot long. I also like echidnas. I've been to a zoo and pet an echidna. Echidnas look a little bit like hedgehogs, but they know a lot of things about the world that hedgehogs don't know.

My favorite animals to eat are boar (I also like emu, kangaroo, rabbit and crab, but boar is the most important) and squirrel (I also like crane, fox and deer, but I think squirrel is the most important.) There's no better flavor than squirrel flavor. I don't want to eat lions. I think it's important to limit the number of animals we eat to a small number. A small number of species. Not more than 100 species. I think in the future if we're not careful we'll eat up all the animals, and then there will be no more animals for us to eat. We need to think about the animals before we eat them, and also before we exterminate them.

My favorite animal to exterminate is the flesh-eating bacteria. I was in Russia in 1912. I saw the flesh-eating bacteria. The flesh-eating bacteria ate up all the meat, and there was nothing left. The flesh-eating bacteria was all that was left of all the animals. It looked like they had fought to the end. The flesh-eating bacteria won. In the end, we lost all the animals, except for the flesh-eating bacteria. The flesh-eating bacteria lived on and on, but we couldn't survive without the animals. And that's why I know I can't have whale sharks anymore. I ate up all the whale sharks in 2004. There's no more whale sharks, except for those in museums.

Oh, and my favorite animal movie is "Fantastic Planet." You can go to a place called Fangtan. It's where the creatures live. My favorite creature is the twelve-legged squirrel-eagle. He's the main character. And he needs to eat all the squirrels and cranes. That's what the movie is about.

[dumping-ideas]

You should watch "Tsukasas theory of happiness" by zen and the "Pierrot" animation by setsumi.22 on yt! to be frank they both made me tear up a bit lol, but id like to hear your thoughts! theyre both very nice and i think the lyrics fit tsukasa well!

Ooooh, I've seen those two videos and yeah, I'm not just tearing up, the tears ran down my cheeks (>︿<｡)

The lyrics for Ayano Koufuku Riron and Pierrot definitely suit Tsukasa, and I like how much focus the Ayano Koufuku Riron animation has for Saki, Toya, and Tsukasa's dynamic pre-main story because it's definitely related to how Tsukasa forgot his true feelings (three of MMJ members forgot their true feelings due to painful experiences, and the double combo of sad Saki and Toya might be that for middle schooler Tsukasa). But the ending of Tsukasa fighting alone in Ayano Koufuku Riron might probably be a metaphor of how difficult for him to open up about his insecurities and negative emotions because he wants everyone to keep smiling ala Emu-style, just with more success.

I also like how the Pierrot animation have Saki comforting Tsukasa instead of WxS, because that right there is his little sister who canonically noticed how lonely Tsukasa was before he met WxS. And speaking of forcing a smile, the fact that Saki also did that when she's hospitalized and then telling Tsukasa that she'll cry with him in the animation is just beautiful. Saki is healing, and she wants Tsukasa to heal too. It really tracks with their canon solo storyline, but I think Tsukasa only wants to cry tears of happiness in front of Saki. Other than that, he'll probably try to hide them as much as he can from her.

Also, my impossible wishlist is a Tsukasa & WxS!Miku cover of Kimi no Kamisama ni Naritai because the lyrics just fits.

"I just... want to sing a song that will save someone." "I want to sing a song that will protect someone." "I want to sing a song that will save you." "{But} it’s impossible,"

"I know you can become happy, of your own accord, through your own means."

Like, I think it fits Tsukasa with Saki and Toya! Just Tsukasa wanting to make them happy and well, but in the end Saki and Toya managed to do that just fine without him. And even though it hurts he still wants to be by their side and protect them. Not only for his relationship with Saki and Toya, it also fits with how Tsukasa looks at himself? Even though he's confident, he has worries of never being enough, and yet he keeps shooting higher so he can make others smile. If Kanade got a duet with Niigo!Miku AND a solo for Inochi ni Kirawareteiru why can't we get the same for Tsukasa's Kimi no Kamisama ni Naritai?? Please colopale, sega........

#pjsekai #project sekai #proseka #ask #tenma tsukasa #tsukasa tenma #also i want tenohira wonderland cover but it might be even more impossible lol #just wants daisuke hirose to emote different emotions more when he sings as tsukasa

The bride with no self-esteem replies to some RSVPs.

Answer to Cousin Zeddie: Yes, you can bring your emotional support animal as a plus one. It’s an alligator? Oh that’s alright I suppose, yes the bow-tie is very cute. I’m sure the church will be alright with it, I mean you need the alligator, right. No. I don’t think I can get live chickens, but cooked chicken carcasses will be fine you say? Ok.

Answer to Stepmom  Krystal ‘Bubbles’ Oh no, of course this day isn’t all about me. I do know my father and you have given money for the wedding. So I’m not gonna be offended if you wear your wedding dress as well. I mean if that’s what you feel comfortable in, go for it. I don’t want to be ungrateful, yes you can bring your side of the family, I didn’t invite them and haven’t met them but  they are very important to you. I mean, you really helped foster my independence by pushing me to be on my own at fifteen; no, I’ll make sure my mother doesn’t bring up how you met my dad. I know you are very busy and I don’t mind at all if you have to take business calls during the ceremony.

Answer to Mother in Law: No, it’s alright, you can wear your tiara and pink gold flamingo dress. Yes, I’m aware I’m marrying your only son and I know I’m not really worthy. I’m sorry the vegan and gluten free options offended you. I wasn’t aware that it was ‘woke’ to have my best friends at the bridal party. I'd like to have food they could eat. I love your son and I know it’s his wedding as well, and have made the alterations to my dress like you wanted and I will endeavor to be a good daughter-in-law. I understand you hate it when I look at you directly or speak to you, I know my voice is annoying, I’ll try better.

Answer to Best man Frank: Thank you so much for enclosing your hilarious best man speech. It’s so funny, you telling everyone that story about my fiance’s sexual past, and how much ‘hotter’ his ex was and the farting. I mean I’m surprised my fiancé decided to marry me as well. I am rather flat and homely, but there you go, I’m not going to be a 'Bridezilla' and get offended. Also it’s wonderful you plan on proposing to your girlfriend during the speech and announcing that you guys are pregnant! I’m not an ‘uptight bitch’ and think it’s lovely.

Answer to Maid of Honor Lana: I’m so glad you were appointed as my maid of honor. I was silly to think my best friend should be the maid of honor when you, my husband’s sister, were right there. I mean we haven’t always seen eye to eye but that’s fine. I will speak to my friend Sophie about not making a scene or getting upset about what happened at the bachelorette party, her black eye is easily covered with makeup.

Answer to Uncle Angus & Uncle Bert:   Yes, I do need to include these ‘horrible people’ in my wedding.  I’m sure it will be fine, though. Carson and I are planning to move across the country after the wedding and this will be our last chance to see them at all. I know you are worried about my mental health, but I’ll be alright knowing you two are coming. I heard Angus is going to wear their kilt and dye their beard lavender, which will really get my MIL and Bert, I can't wait to see you as ‘CHAMP-PAYNE’ again. I mean not only are you a drag queen, but a wrestler! That’s so cool! I’m sure my dad will behave himself, and if he doesn't, you are right there.

Answer to Mom: Thanks for the advice, your brother and his husband are a hoot, I love my uncles, so does Carson. They will make the wedding so much more fun! Also as per your advice no open bar at the reception and yes you can have Mr. Ruffles as your plus one, I’m already allowing an alligator so why not a comfort Emu?

AU where Fredrick Chase, renowned professor of History at West Point, takes his classes online (becoz pandemic) and his students are regaled daily with the Shenanigans of his twin terror sons Bobby and Matthew.

Having siblings themselves (or being friends with those who have siblings) they didn't bat an eye at this, apart from being vastly amused, but they did have a lot to say when Prof. Chase's daughter (he has a daughter???) strolled into view, covered in weird glowy dust, bleeding from a dozen different cuts, twirling a steak knife casually between her fingers.

Shit got real when celebrity kid Piper freaking Mclean followed suit, accompanied by a boy who seemingly melted from the shadows (seriously, he appeared from nowhere who does that???), a black haired kid with a crazed smile carrying a- is that a flamethrower? And an actual, live, emu.

They had so many questions god and Prof. Chase was being of absolutely no use- he just waved Anna-whats-her-name into the kitchen and returned to the lecture like there wasn't an actual fucking ostrich (wasn't it an emu?) squatting glumly in the background.

#where is percy? #on a road trip with jason #next question #where is hazel? #giving Will the shovel talk with Reyna #why is leo carrying a flamethrower when he can SUMMON FIRE? #he's leo #he doesn't need a reason #and why is Frank an emu #(or an ostrich)? #i would like to know that too #percy jackson and the olympians #annabeth chase #piper mclean #leo valdez #pjo headcanon #heroes of olympus #pjo hoo toa #percy jackson

Leo: Soy yo o la maestra anda de malas?

Percy: You’re not handsome like Percy

Frank: How do you know you’re not an emu?

Piper: Daggers, they exist, oh also I can cause them to go boom

Paolo: Why are my hands like, not attached to my body right now?

Fun movie!

... and that’s about it. It’s a VERY fluffy movie and if I’m frank, more or less an excuse for a lot of fight scenes -- more than most Kamen Rider movies I could name. If I’m to directly compare to Megamax, that movie did of course score some points with me for its fanservice - and cards on the table here, I do like W and the Showa Riders way way more than Gaim, Drive and Wizard - but that movie had a lot more going for it. It’s a beautifully emotional epilogue to OOO and a shockingly good story about Gentarou’s love and appreciation of life and its capacity for personhood in all of its forms. Heisei Generations on the other hand... it has some nice character moments for sure, but the main character motivations of both Emu and Takeru feel very half-baked and generic. They’ve both got a damsel in distress, basically, and that’s about it. To say nothing of how characters like Haruto, Gaim and the rest of the Ghost cast just sort of pop into this movie with little to them.

But, again -- it’s fun! It’s harmless fun at the end of the day, there’s nothing terrible going on here; it’s just very style over substance. It’s definitely not one I was able to enjoy as much as others since the only Rider I really like here is Ghost (and he seriously drew the short stick!! All his forms including Mugen getting immediately beaten just so they can shove a new pointless eyecon in your face?? LAME!), but ultimately it’s a lot of well-directed fight scenes and a trip down memory lane. Not one that’ll be making my favourites list, not one that I can like a lot for my own reasons; but it’s Fine. It’s a Fine movie, and I can certainly understand why people would love it

173. Sonic the Hedgehog #105

You Say You Want a Revelation?

Writer: Karl Bollers Pencils: Ron Lim Colors: Josh and Aimee Ray

We're finally back to the main series plot! Sonic is disheartened to see Nate's things being moved out of his house, knowing that by leaving Nate behind in Robotropolis they consigned him to the fate of roboticization. However, he's not content to leave him in there without at least trying to rescue him, and so leads Tails and Uncle Chuck to the castle in the hopes of talking to Elias, unaware of his disappearance. In Robotropolis, Hope goes to her step-father along with her grandmother to voice her concerns about the Robians she saw escaping the city, stating her beliefs that her uncle created them. Colin initially refuses to believe her, but Eggman steps out of the next room with Snively, grinning evilly as he informs them that she's totally right. Back in the castle in Knothole, King Max is experiencing true regret for perhaps the first time since we've seen him come back from the Zone of Silence.

Sorry, Alicia, but I have to wholeheartedly disagree. A lot of this is Max's fault - he refused to listen to either his son or daughter, and picked someone who was clearly not cut out to be a leader to put in charge of everything, over his daughter who was trained her whole life to lead a kingdom. In Robotropolis, Eggman airs an announcement over every screen in his city that he's "discovered" that everyone is infected with toxic waste poisoning, and must come to him for treatment immediately lest they succumb and die. Colin is outraged, pointing out that Eggman should be infected as well then, only for Eggman to reveal his true colors - literally - as a robot.

Uncle Chuck and Sonic both explain their plan to use the sword to King Max, who seems somewhat apathetic, upset not only at the loss of his son, but the loss of Nate as well. He's uncertain, as he only knows of two people who can even use the sword's abilities: himself, and –

Max reluctantly agrees to Sally's plan, ordering her to take Sonic with her as an escort. Sonic is pleased, but finally notices Sally's somewhat lackluster responses to everything he says, asking her if he did something to upset her. Before she can respond, Mina suddenly rushes up, hugs Sally while thanking her profusely for saving her mother, and then races off again, leaving her speechless. Meanwhile in Robotropolis, Hope runs for her life through the streets, trying to hide in a back alleyway with Eggman's voice following her the whole way. He finds her through a hidden screen in the alley, and tries to manipulate her into surrendering by saying he'll spare her grandmother. Agnes, of course, yells for her not to listen, and as Hope watches…

Hope is surrounded by shadow-bots, but Sonic suddenly appears, smashing them up and ushering her over to Sally for protection. Eggman is furious to see her being rescued, until he hears Sonic's voice behind him, Sonic of course having run at light speed all the way into his headquarters. Eggman tries to grab hold of him to roboticize him, but Sonic smashes the floor underneath him, sending them both plummeting into the room below. There, Sonic is horrified to find a familiar, frozen face staring back at him.

Eggman gloats that the sword doesn't seem to affect roboticized Overlanders, and then, with the rest of the city's Overlander population gathered within the room, offers them a demonstration. He calls Snively forward, informing him that he, too, is poisoned from the toxic waste, and while Snively is upset, having thought that as his lackey he would have been protected, Eggman offers him a deal - take his hand. You see, apparently Overlanders only become frozen after roboticization if they're unwillingly turned, but if they take the offer of their own free will, they retain their ability to move and act… and with a grin, Snively takes his uncle's hand.

And that is the awful true scope of Eggman's plan. He let everyone live within his city for two months, ensuring that they'd become sick, and then offered them supposedly the one thing that could save them, making sure that they'd have to take his offer willingly and become his slaves. Of course, we just watched this backfire, but Eggman knows that by rejecting his offer and going with Sally and Sonic, all the Overlanders are likely to get even sicker and stretch the already strained resources of Knothole. However, we know that Sally is smarter than that, and there's already a hidden city of Overlanders - or sorry, humans - out there that might have some room…

Before we move on to the conclusion of Myth Taken Identity, we have another character file to peruse - this time, for Snively! Unlike the previous couple, this one actually contains some new information about his life - but first, the technical info. Calculating his real-world height gives us the absurdly-short height of 97 cm, or 3'2". For reference, someone is considered to have dwarfism if they're anywhere below 147 cm or 4'10" tall, so Snively definitely qualifies. (Nate Morgan probably would too, but we're never actually given any information on his measurements, so there's no way to say for certain.) Snively also weighs 38.4 kg or 84.5 lbs, and his birthday is on May 14. Interestingly, his birth year indicates that he's actually only thirty years old! He definitely looks a lot older due to male-pattern baldness, but if you think about it it makes sense - after all, he's Robotnik's nephew, and the original Robotnik was likely in his late forties or early fifties at the time of his death.

What really makes this entry noteworthy, however, is his life history. He was born Colin Kintobor, Jr., which is an ordinary enough name, and his mother died giving birth to him. He was treated terribly by his father Colin Sr., who is actually the one who gave him his nickname. You'd think it would have been Robotnik who stuck him with such a humiliating nickname, but no, his own father called him Snively because of his lack of social skills. He compensated all throughout his childhood by immersing himself in the world of technology, and found a way to take advantage of every friend he made. He was kicked out of the house as a teenager, and with nowhere to go, turned to his uncle Julian, whom he helped seize power over the Kingdom of Knothole. However, he soon found himself being mistreated by his uncle as well, and as we know, eventually grew so resentful that he rigged the Ultimate Annihilator to target only Robotnik so he could be free of him once and for all.

While one could argue that these are the actions of a sociopath, or a narcissist, I'm gonna go ahead and say that Snively would have had a very different personality had he actually grown up with a family who loved him and looked after him. All this poor kid ever knew was bullying and emotional abuse. He's been taught, by life and by the actions of those around him, that the only way to look after himself is to be selfish, and to latch onto those more powerful than him for security. I touched on once before that Snively seemed to be basically in an abusive relationship with Robotnik, and didn't know how to go on after he thought he was dead, but this page confirms that things are only sadder than we originally realized. It was this page, plus some other events further into the comic, that made me realize that I actually liked Snively as a character, and wanted to see him break free of Eggman's control and come into his own. Unfortunately, having just allowed himself to be roboticized, that's not likely to be happening any time soon…

Myth Taken Identity (Part III)

Writer: Mike Gallagher Pencils: Nelson Ribeiro Colors: Frank Gagliardo

Guru Emu, upon discovering the dam from last issue, has found himself with rekindled hope that he can find and save his friends who have been kidnapped by the bunyip. He descends into the dam, discovering that it was originally constructed by Crocbot, who of course used it to power his various weapons and detention camps. It turns out that this dam is behind the strangely dry riverbeds and the disgusting lake, as it's been disrupting the local ecosystem, even more so now that it's abandoned and not being maintained. But what of Walt, Barby, and Bill? Well, as it turns out, they're also inside the dam, protected by an airtight compartment with a window through which they can see the bunyip gazing in at them. Barby, apparently, speaks many languages, including whatever ancient language the bunyip speaks, and convinced it that they're no threat. She gets it to explain its plight, as well as why it's been attacking everybody.

I mean, that hardly seems like a good excuse for just attacking random people on the street who clearly aren't Crocbot, but the Downunda Freedom Fighters want to help anyway. While Barby informs the bunyip that Crocbot was defeated some time ago, Guru races down the hallway toward them, having overheard everything. He has discovered a room full of explosives elsewhere in the complex, and so…

The bunyip is grateful, and leaves to spend its happy days in the clean water, and though the D.F.F. briefly consider inviting it to join their team, they ultimately decide that they'd rather stay as a four-person group from now on, knowing that no one can replace Stu.

And now we have one last character file to look at for the issue, this time for Dimitri! Dimitri is actually the tallest individual so far, at a height of 133 cm or 4'4". That's a full foot taller than Sonic! He weighs 39.9 kg or 87.7 lbs, and his birthday is on September 28. He's 378 years old, finally giving us a clearer idea of exactly how long the Brotherhood has existed, considering earlier issues were very unclear and inconsistent on the matter. Like Sally and Julie-Su, however, his character file doesn't give us any new information, merely recapping the previous events of the comic as well as history we've already been shown. Still, in a way, having such inconsequential information as his height, weight, and birthday really kind of serves to humanize him in a way - or, er, "Mobianize"? Eh, whatever, you know what I mean.

[ace-charlie-kelly]

now you've been asked fave episode of each season!

sldjkfds thank you!

Season 1: The Gang Gets Racist. The first season is definitely the weakest imo but the very first episode is pretty solid and got Sunny off to a good gay start.

Season 2: Dennis and Dee Get a New Dad. I started watching Sunny in 2015 and I watched it out of order so of course I already knew Frank wasn’t Dee and Dennis’s biological father by the time I got to this one (in fact, at first I didn’t even know he raised them), but I still thought it was funny as heck, especially Frank’s meltdown at Guigino’s (thank u Emmy award winning Danny Devito) and the twist at the end that he might actually be Charlie’s dad. Love it.

Season 3: The Gang Gets Held Hostage. This was one of the first episodes I remember liking a lot. The McPoyles are wild and fucking hilarious. There are so many iconic moments (Dennis, I love you; RYAN, STAB SOMEBODY; *Dee cocks gun at the gang* GET ON YOUR KNEES, BITCHES!) The pacing is great. All that insanity and SCREAMING and build up to what was looking to be a huge ending where SOMEONE was gonna get shot or stabbed to death and then the McPolyes just...leave. And that’s the end lmao.

Season 4: Mac and Charlie Die AND The Nightman Cometh: Okay LISTEN I can’t choose between THE most iconic episode (Nightman Cometh) and my personal favorite, not just in s4 but in Sunny as a whole (Mac and Charlie Die) so I’m gonna mention them both. Charlie and Mac getting up to dumbass Shenanigans™ together is one of my favorite episode setups and I could watch the car crash scene on loop for hours and still think it’s hilarious. And there’s no need to explain TNC. It’s one of the most popular and well-known episodes for a reason.

Season 5: Mac and Dennis Break Up: It’s just the macdennis of it all...

Season 6:  I wanted to say A Very Sunny Christmas because it’s my favorite episode overall after Mac and Charlie Die and Wikipedia lists it under season 6. But I think it’s technically not a part of any season so that episode aside I’ve got to go with Who Got Dee Pregnant? The flashback-style storytelling. Dee becoming more and more birdlike until she’s an ACTUAL EMU. Frank dressed as “Man-Spider.” Artemis “I Don’t Remember Most Evenings” Dubois. “YOU WILL CALL HER!” The bombshell (and fake, thank god) reveal that the answer to the titular question was DENNIS, holy shit! A good, funny episode that worked in Kaitlin’s irl pregnancy perfectly.

Season 7: CharDee MacDennis: The Game of Games. Another quintessential Sunny episode. It combines my two favorite types of episode setups: a Charlie & Mac team up and a gang-centric storyline that takes place in the bar. Love it!

Season 8: Reynolds vs. Reynolds: The Cereal Defense. Again, I love gang-centric episodes, especially ones that shine a light on the gang’s intricate and surprisingly sacred internal arbitration system. Mac’s “Science is a LIAR sometimes”/”BITCH” speech is one of my top favorite scenes in the whole show.

Season 9: The Gang Gets Quarantined. Another gang-centric episode set in the bar! Nothing is funnier than Frank, hairless and mostly naked, squirming around on a floor covered in hand sanitizer (except for maybe fully naked Frank crawling out of a couch. Why hasn’t Sunny won an Emmy yet???).

Season 10: Charlie Work. There’s a reason it has the highest episode rating on IMDb! Bc it’s good.

Season 11: Mac and Dennis Move to the Suburbs: NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE, I’ve been stanning Suburbs the entire goddamn time!!!!!

Season 12: The Gang Goes to a Water Park. Rare Mac & Dee team up. Dennis being as close to wholesome as possible spending his entire day mentoring Abby on the art of scheming. That horrifying 10 second long squuueeeaaak as Frank’s back skin gets scraped off by that dry-ass slide. Mac putting his ass on the pool drain and looking me in the eye while he does it. The only thing I didn’t like about this episode was its weirdly short run time.

Season 13: This one’s hard because I haven’t rewatched most of these episodes since they premiered last year. Obviously I’m tempted to say Mac Finds His Pride, but looking back that (incredible!!!) final scene is the only big reason it stands out to me as a noteworthy episode. When it comes to which episode I enjoyed most as a whole, I think that might be The Gang Gets New Wheels. I don’t know what this says about me as a person, but I’ve never laughed harder than when Mac and Charlie beat up those children slkdjfjsdk.

Your Noise (The Twelfth Doctor x Reader)

So you guys, I’m a massive slut for Peter Capaldi. Is he sixty? Yes. Do I care? Obviously not. There is so much love out there for the younger actors who play the Doctor, and I absolutely adore them as well, but I feel like there could be more about ole Twelve.

Forgive me if he’s a little out of character, or if descriptions aren’t in depth enough. I’ve been in a massive slump lately and this helped a little. Might be a little angsty?

Also, the song mentioned in the beginning is ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ by Frank Sinatra. I got the idea for this while listening to some Sinatra records I have a few days ago.

Anyway, hope you enjoy! Feel free to message me with feedback!

- Ashley

Loud ruckus erupted through the TARDIS, causing one of the Doctor’s bulbous blue eyes to snap open. Grumbling to himself, he clamored to his feet from the comfortable loveseat. Looking around, he saw no one. And with a final huff, he marched out and into the hall. “Why is it that every time I attempt to sleep, which isn’t often, she has to interrupt somehow?” he asked to no one in particular. Upbeat music blared through the corridor, and the Doctor marched to where he assumed his unexplainably loud companion was. Upon arriving, he couldn’t find it in him to bellow.

The Doctor smiled—yes, actually smiled—at his current companion’s antics. Currently she was dancing rather ridiculously to some American jazz song about flying to the moon. Arms swinging above her head, around her in circular motions as her sock-covered feet slid over the metallic floor. The TARDIS whirred in that way she does, the one almost like a laugh. She was in on this too, it seems. He wanted to be angry, wanted to feel irritation throb at his temples. But at that moment, he simply couldn’t. All he could find was a long-dormant feeling, stirring in his chest. One that he loathed and craved in equal measure, that he couldn’t ever seem to escape.

He hated it, hated the way she made him feel. Yet at the same time, he basked in it, reveled in the knowledge that he could still love. That this body could love despite its bitterness.

Of course, of all the things that could, this would’ve happened. How could it not? How could he resist? With her brilliant mind, her open heart, deflecting and countering his sarcasm and mood swings with her own. There was an energy about her that made him feel at home. He’d missed feeling like he belonged. Even when he knew he didn’t.

It seemed the song, along with her performance, was coming to an end as the music slowed, the artist sang one word at a time. One last “You!” came through, an air of finality carried in one syllable. As she stood near the console, panting and pulling the sleeves of her jumper up, he cleared his throat.

The speed at which she snapped her head in his direction was remarkable. “If I’d known I’d be witnessing a poorly rehearsed recital, I would’ve stayed in bed.”

A rueful grin crossed her face before it developed into a true one. “Oh shove off it, Doctor. You? In bed? Come on. Besides, you’ve never listened to Sinatra? The Americans seem to love him.”

“That must be the reason why I’ve avoided him, then.”

A laugh bubbled from her throat and she turned back to the console. The smile came through again. The one that belonged to her, though he doubted he’d ever let her see it. And he was fine with that.

Or so he thought.

“Now,” he began, breaking through his immensely long train of thought. “Where to today? Discovering little green men? Racing sauropods? Combating the emu nuisance in Australia?  You choose.” While he was speaking, he’d crossed the room and made it to the console, standing opposite of her as he flipped levers and turned knobs. Intentionally avoiding her gaze.

“Hmm,” she tapped her chin. “I’m thinking, after this morning, I’m in the mood to see Sinatra live. Can we make that happen?” A mischievous grin appeared on her round face. And the Doctor knew he couldn’t resist as soon as he mustered the courage to glance her way. “I think we can.”

 “Oh Doctor! That was absolutely brilliant!” (Y/N) exclaimed at his side, clutching his forearm as he walked her out of the show and back to the TARDIS. “I’m glad you liked it. Now if only he knew how to play real music, I might’ve been willing to actually listen.” His statement was hung out like bait on a fishing pole, and he waited for her to take it and run with it. Arguing was, unsurprisingly, one of his favorite pastimes. Though it seemed (Y/N) didn’t mind bickering. In fact, she thrived on it. Quarreling harmlessly brought out a certain fire in her that the Doctor had come to adore.

“Real music? Doctor! I’ve no idea if this has actually occurred to you, which, more than likely, it has, but it’s the 1950’s! Frank Sinatra predates your definition of ‘real music’ by a good thirty years!” The Doctor smiled to himself. “Excuses, excuses. It was only a matter of time before someone came forward with it, and it obviously wasn’t him.”

“Oh Doctor, maybe you should become a musician. Maybe you’d be pleased for once with something.”

Suddenly he came to a halt in the middle of the street. Everything was dark in the dead of night, only faint shadows and shapes could be made out. Despite this, he looked deep into her eyes, and she stared back at him with a straight face as he fixed her with one of his more owlish glares. “Nah!” They cried simultaneously before breaking into their own fits of laughter. And they continued on their way, (Y/N) chuckling all the way to the TARDIS.

 Closing and locking the door behind them, the Doctor set their coordinates for a random point where they could drift for a while, somewhere a noisy human wouldn’t be able to disturb them. (Y/N) had wordlessly gone off down one of the halls, more than likely to her room to change and go to bed. At this time, he decided to change from his Noir-like suit to something more fitting his personal tastes. Ambling off down a different hallway, he opened the first door on his right.

A closet just large enough to stand comfortably in was what he found, thankfully, and he stepped inside.  After some perusing, a few scowls and ‘hmms’ of intrigue, a comfortable pair of black trousers were located at last.  Beneath the row of clothes, he found a large pile of discarded garments that had fallen from their hangars. Beneath this, he found a line of shoes in different styles, each from a different time and place in history. Deeming them unnecessary for the time being, he plucked a pair of black boots from the assortment and placed them on the ground behind him. Digging around in the pile of forgotten clothes, he found a large navy sweater. Recognizing it instantly, he held it in his wrinkled hands.

The Doctor spent what felt like ages studying his hands and their contrast against the soft fabric. It had her very essence woven into the wool, her innocence and youth, her smiles and tears, the (E/C) of her eyes and pinks of her cheeks. Wanting to cry out in anger, he clutched it tightly, as if it would disintegrate into ash if squeezed hard enough. A wave of fury swept over him. Anger at this body he’d been given this time. Why couldn’t he have gotten another young bloke? Instead he was.... this. And he felt the unfairness in it all that he’d meet her now, in this form. With no chance of her seeing him as anything other than her traveling companion, a brilliant mind, an old man. And he pulled the sweater to his face, taking in the scent of her perfume.

It was comforting, soothing his indignant attitude. Quieting his rage, leaving him feeling awfully tired. Exhausted beneath the burden of the universe, eternal loneliness tugging at his sleeves, and the pressure of all that he had done, all seeming to slam into him at once. The sweet, earthy fragrance was embedded in the woven strands that sang of inaudible songs of (Y/N) was all he had to combat the voices of those left behind at this time.

Atlas may have shrugged, but if the Doctor wasn’t careful, he’d be flattened before too much longer.

A thought finally occurred to him: she’d gone to bed. Or at least to her room deep in the TARDIS, to do whatever it is she did when she wasn’t pestering him. He chuckled lowly in the dark of the closet. It would be at least five hours before he saw her again. With one last consideration, he slipped the sweater on over his head.

 To the Doctor’s surprise and great annoyance, he found himself to be very comfortable. It dwarfed (Y/N), falling to the tops of her knees. Whilst he was considerably taller than her, it still was rather roomy on him, and fell below the beltloops on his pants. Taking the boots in hand, he exited the closet, leaving his worn clothes on the floor. He headed back towards the console room, scanning it for some sort of distraction until his companion decided to join him again.

Stalking the various shelves surrounding the command center, he sighed as he found nothing. At last a large, aquamarine-hued tome with silver etchings in an ancient, foreign language seemed to appear before him on a shelf he’d searched ten times. The Doctor took this, rubbed the shelf affectionately, and plopped into a comfortable armchair, moving his feet to the matching ottoman in front of it. Deeming it a sufficient distraction for the next few hours, he buried his large nose in it. As if it helped.

 Soft humming and breathing were distant in the Doctor’s senses as he slowly opened his eyes. The darkness faded to the blue iridescent lights of the console room. He took in his surroundings before looking down towards the source of the noise. There leaning on the ottoman was his companion, (H/C) hair tossed up messily, curls hanging around her round, innocent face as her (E/C) eyes watched him.

“Sleep well, Doctor?”

The honey in her hoarse, sleep-filled voice caused his to disappear. His sarcastic comment plunged to the back of his throat as he observed her figure. A brown jumper similar to the one he wore covered her arms and hands, though in turn revealed her collarbones. Forcing himself to look away, he found the will to speak again.

“Why is it your noise always finds a way to wake me up when I finally choose to sleep?” Furrowing his eyebrows, he closed his eyes and moved his face towards the ceiling. The softest of giggles erupted from her mouth, and he fought the urge to watch her smile.

“Mm, it’s one of my many talents. You have saving the universe, I have disturbing the peace of certain Time Lords. It balances out.”

He felt her remove herself from the ottoman and stand before him. His eyes remained closed, waiting to feel her walk off to open them again. Instead he felt her closer than ever. “By the way,” her husky whisper tickled his ear, causing a shiver to attempt to find its way through him. “You look fucking adorable in my sweater.” And she took off as he sprung up in his seat.

“Language!”

Her laughter was heard humming throughout the TARDIS’ halls, bouncing off the walls. And again that smile returned, much to his chagrin. But something else accompanied it.

His cheeks burned. And he grumbled once again as he fought the urge to smile, calmed his heartbeats, and resumed his façade of relaxing until she was ready to jet off to some far away galaxy. But only the Doctor knew he wouldn’t be able to remain disgruntled after that exchange.

The Snow (1)

Pairing: Loki x Child! reader 

warning: none 

Summary: Sequel to ‘The Rain’. Reader meets Thor, Bruce, and Loki. She accidently tags along in their adventures. Along the way she helps Loki.

Note: This is the sequel to The Rain this will be taking place during Thor: Ragnarok two months after the fight I know that’s not the real time line but bare with me. I’m thinking about making this a trilogy once Infinity Wars comes out. If you haven’t seen Thor: Ragnarok *SPOILER ALERT* and if you wished to be untagged let me know.

The Rain

It had been two months fight. Rhodey was limping but on his feet never the less. Tony was healing more thanks to Peter and his frequent vacations than (y/n). And (y/n), she was being home schooled and trained in the tower by trusted people.

Everything was pretty okay, you could say, since the fight anyways. (y/n) still sent letters and pictures to Captain’s team as well as short phone calls just to hear their voices. (y/n) was living the average mutant life with a superhero, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.

“Happy, Happy, Happy” (y/n) sang 

“yes, yes, yes” He sang entertaining the child

“can you take me to the Library”

“why do you want to go to the library, you have a tablet for books”. It had been a weekly routine to take (y/n) to the library three times a week.

“I like the librarians. Also keeping my eyes on a screen all day isn’t good Doctor said” (y/n) smiled as took Happy’s sunglasses out of his pocket put them on then ran to the car “to the land of knowledge”. 

On the way to the library they sang along to Frank Sinatra’s My Way. The two always sang along and did karaoke in the car. Unlike Peter, (y/n) was Happy’s favorite person he enjoyed her company. And not Peter and his hormonal, rebellious, spidey teen self.

Speak on the spider and he shall bite. “dammit” Happy said looking down at his phone.

“language. What’s wrong? are we not going?” the two had just arrived and parked

“Afraid not sweetheart. Spider-boy is being a pest. Maybe next time”

“wait, wait, can I stay? two hours tops. The librarians will watch me and you could watch me through security cameras”

“I don’t know kid”

“I can take care of myself . Drown anyone who comes to close”.

Happy eyed her through the review mirror “alright.” (y/n) cheered “here’s your phone keep it on you at all times. I’ll be back in 2 hours. Don’t leave until I come get you ,okay?

“Okie dokie. Bye, Bye” (y/n) hopped out of the car. Happy watched her take off up the steps of the library one of the Librarians open the door for her and gave a thumbs up to Happy. He wasn’t worried. He and (y/n) had come so often everyone on the block knew and kept eyes out for them.

She’d be fine.

Totally .... not.

5k Survey LXXV

3826. Why do most people associate being spiritual or connected to the world as being a hippy? >> Okay, so the first 25 questions in this section were all specifically about LOTR The Two Towers, for some reason? I’m not interested so I just skipped them entirely and am smushing the remaining 25 questions in this part into the other 50. Whatever. Anyway, because that’s the stereotype they’ve internalised, idk. Looking down on non-materialistic worldviews is a common modern pastime in the Western world, just in general. (Not that being a hippie is inherently a negative or stupid thing to be, but that’s definitely the sort of context this stereotype is going for.)

3827. Why is passion and honest emotion equated with hallmark cards? >> I feel like my answer to this would just be similar to my answer to the previous question. These ideas don’t necessarily have the same root, but they’re definitely related. 3828. What words set off alarms in your brain (for me it's anarchy, pagan, etc)? >> *blinks* Certainly not those words. Usually it’s words like, idk, “American values” and “lizard people”... 3829. Are you dancin in the dark? >> No. 3830. Name 2 things you have never done in public: >> I’ve never done the Charleston or the Riverdance in public.

3831. If you had to choose out of what you just named, which one WOULD you do in public? >> I don’t even know how to do those dances, which is part of the reason why I’ve never done them in public. 3832. Challenge yourself. Do whatever it is in public. Why not? What are you so terrified of? >> ... 3832. Is hell REALLY other people? >> The actual context of that quote is so much more interesting than seeing people using it as some kind of antisocial mantra. 3833. Or would it be more hellish to live totally without other people? >> We’re all aware that humans are social creatures, correct? Just making sure. 3834. Leggos or linkin logs? >> I had Lincoln Logs as a kid but not LEGO. 3835. What books have you read more than once? >> I’ve read The Fountainhead three times. 3836. Do you get different things out of reading a book a second time a year or more after reading it the first time? Is it because you are a different person after time passes? >> Yeah, I do, and yes, that’s why -- but first I have to convince myself to read a book more than once. My to-read list is so long all the time and then I learn about yet another interesting-sounding book and jump on that and the cycle never ends... it feels like a waste of time to go back and read books I’ve already read. Even though I know that’s not a logical way to think at all. 3837. The person who goes to ____ is not the same person who comes back. Fill in the blank with anything you think fits. >> Whatever. 3838. Quick! Empty your brain here! >> ... 3839. What's the best movie soundtrack? >> I’m partial to Clint Mansell soundtracks, personally. 3840. Tissues with or without aloe? >> I rarely even use tissues, but when I do, I’m not terribly precious about what kind they are. I just use whatever Sparrow bought. 3841. Are you on any medication? >> No. 3842. Does any part of your own body disgust you? If yes, isn't that odd? What could have caused that feeling of disgust with your own body? >> Having a body disgusts me, overall. Yeah, I’m not fond of the relationship I have with my body either, but it’d be one hell of an uphill battle to reprogram my brain to not think I’m gross. I’m doing my best, all right. 3843. Want some popcorn? >> No. 3844. What if Atlas shrugged? >> I imagine he’d do it in far less time than it takes to read that book. 3845. Who has led the most interesting life? >> ... 3846. What movies are comming out next year that you are looking forward to? >> Ha, what movies are coming out next year... that’s the question, innit. 3847. If someone is half man and half dog is he his own best friend? >> --- 3848. Paper or plastic? >> I usually get plastic bags. 3849. Why did things make sense in childhood, but they don't now? >> What things? 3850. Is it crazy time? >> --- 3851. If there is a lotto with 50 numbers, and a player picks 6 numbers without repeating any, what are their chances of getting all 6 winning numbers? >> I don’t know, dude.

3852. If there were no laws and no rules name 3 things you would do that you don't/wouldn't/can't do now? >> --- 3853. It's a costume party. What will your costume be if the theme is: the 70's? 80's? under the sea? 3854.

What's your favorite animal out of these: emu, otter, duck billed platypus, moose, skunk? >> Otter. 3857. priest, rabbi, or other religios leader, a judge, or a sea captain to perform your wedding? >> We had a nondenominational minister for ours. I’m sure we would have rather have gone with someone who wasn’t any flavour of Christian, but going through the French Quarter Wedding Chapel kind of was a path of least resistance. It’s hard to plan a wedding from a completely different part of the country than the place it’s being held, and the Chapel did a lot of the legwork for us. 3858. Do you think that it's okay for people to write their own wedding vows? >> What on earth would possess me to think otherwise? 3859. Rank these as places to be married. 1 = best. Your House or Yard The Beach A Park Disneyland A Forest A Catering Hall Las Vegas A church or temple A Courthouse On a Boat On a Space Station 3860. The Earth is doomed. A giant asteroid is headed our way. It will decimate the planet in 3.2 days. You and your family own a space pod and you have room for 7 people from the list below. Everyone else dies. Who do you pick? Orlando Bloom, Justin Timberlake, Joan Jett, John Denver Baby Eve (the first human clone), Jennifer Lopez, Johnny Depp, George W Bush, David Bowie, Charleton Heston, Ralph Nader, Moby, Jeff Bridges, Kelly Osbourne, Frank Zappa, Bill Clinton, Britney Spears, Osama Bin Laden The Pope, Eminem, Madonna >> *longsuffering sigh* 3861. Rank the following dead people in order of who you would like to spend the day with. 1 = you'd like to hang out with them the most. Joan of Arc Groucho Marx John Lennon Joey Ramone Anton Levay Tupac Jack Kerouac Aaliyah John F Kennedy Lucielle Ball Jim Morrison 3862. If you could grant immortality to one person you know (can't be yourself) who would you give it to? >> I don’t want to grant immortality to anyone. 3863. If you could grant immortality to one person who you do not know personally but know of (writer, politician, etc) who would you give it to? >> --- 3864. Name a person you love: Name a person you admire: Name a friend: Name a relative: If you had to condemn one of them to death to save the lives of the others who would it be and why? >> Just... not even going to touch this one. 3865. Would you rather be one of Santa's elves or a dentist? >> What... 3866. When you first meet people what do you talk to them about? >> There’s no one specific thing that I talk to people about... it’s obviously dependent on many factors (at least one of them having nothing to do with me). 3867. You have been invited to a party with any sports team in the world. Which one? >> No. 3868. Finish the sentances. In a world where: He was: She was: Together, they were: Why do so many movie trailers start off by saying 'In a world..'? >> I had a feeling this was about movie trailers, lol. I’m guessing it’s just convenient or something. (Also, that doesn’t happen much anymore. There’s a new set of trailer tropes now.) 3869. Make up a superhero with really unhelpful powers: >> --- 3870. A couple of days ago this guy won 14 million dollars and tried to donate 1 million to the salvation army. The salvation army turned the money down saying they didn't want dirty gambling money. Did they do the right thing? >> They did what was right from their point of view, which is a dogmatic conservative-Christian POV. 3871. If you had a spare million for charity work who would you donate it to? >> --- 3872. What's the craziest most shocking moment of rock and roll history that you can think of? >> --- 3873. Why is it that if a man kills another man in battle it's called heroic, but if he kills a man in the heat of passion, it's called murder? >> Perspective. 3874. What kind of punishment do you feel the following crimes deserve: premeditated murder? date rape? drug sales? drug use? burglery? 3875. If you could kiss anyone in the world on midnight at new year's eve, who would be the lucky one? >> ... 3876. You have just taken two sexy people prisoner because they found your hide out and you think they are spies. What do youd do: kill them, hump them or have crumpets and tea? >> What the fuck. 3877. What is your new year's resolution? >> --- 3878. Should the U.S. focus more on the threat from N. Korea or Iraq? >> --- 3879. Would you ever have plastic surgery? >> I don’t know, maybe. Mostly I just can’t afford shit like that, so the answer’s “no” by virtue of that alone. 3880. How can George Bush be considered a Christian when he a war-monger and the ten comandments say do not kill? >> Oh, you know. 3881. What is the most interesting premise for a reality tv show that you can think of? >> --- 3882. Who is the Hollywood Star next to die of a drug overdose? >> --- 3883. Do you find yourself caring a lot about online people, even if you haven't met or spoken to them off of the computer? >> Not... like, as a rule... 3884.

Council of Dad’s Hilarie Burton Talks Her Marriage, Her Miscarriage and Mischief Farm

In her new memoir, The Rural Diaries, Hilarie Burton takes a frank look at her marriage to The Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan; their life outside of Hollywood on their 100-acre farm in Rhineland, N.Y.; her sexual assault on the set of One Tree Hill; her miscarriage; and finally the blessings that are their children, Gus, 10, and George, 2.

“The way I was raised is that when you make a narrative out of something, it softens the blow a little bit. It makes it a story; it’s a thing that happened, and after you tell it so many times, the trauma becomes less and you become emboldened by that story and it’s yours,” Burton exclusively tells Parade.com when asked why she wrote such a revealing memoir.

“All of the loss that we experienced in the book, by committing it to paper, hopefully it isn’t in vain,” she adds. “You’re taught in church in the South growing up that you have to testify. Perhaps that got its hooks in me as a young person that to testify to something is to honor it and commit to it, so I commit to that narrative.”

If you look at Burton’s early success–she was a teenage MTV VJ before getting cast as Peyton Sawyer on One Tree Hill–you would never guess that she was still searching for her place in life. Meeting Morgan–they were introduced by Jensen and Danneel Ackles in 2009–was just one step in the right direction, but when they moved to upstate New York–first to a tiny log cabin, then to Mischief Farm–she began feeling more like herself than ever.

“I feel so comfortable in my skin right now,” she says. “I feel stripped down in a way that can be intimidating at times, but I also feel a grave responsibility to honor the feelings of a lot of the people who have read this book. There has been a flood of communication from specifically women who are entrusting me with stories of their miscarriages, their relationships or their workplace harassment, and I want to honor them and I want to give them a tool where they can see themselves working past it.”

And even though Burton is happily ensconced on the farm, the lure of acting occasionally manages to draw her away if the circumstances are right, which includes the many Lifetime Network movies she has filmed.

“In moving to the farm, I stopped hustling for work and I started only working with people I already knew and I already trusted, and that has made a world of difference in how I view the film community,” Burton says. “It’s become a much friendlier place for me. Every job I take is because of a relationship that I already have. So, it’s a nice little Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon situation.”

In addition to the Lifetime movies, the recurring role on NBC’s Council of Dads was another opportunity that lured her off the farm. The fact that it filmed in Georgia, rather than on the West Coast, was an added incentive.

“It was the ability to work with people who I’d known from before,” she continues. “Tony [Phelan] and Joan [Rater] are producers I worked with on Grey’s Anatomy, and I like the way they lead. I think they champion people in a very beautiful way.”

Life in quarantine has also given Burton the opportunity to work with Morgan now that he is on lockdown with the family rather than off filming. The two host Friday Night In with the Morgans on AMC, a talk show focusing on life in the time of COVID-19. The guests–all remote–are comprised of their acting friends and their farming friends, and the show also goes outside for a look at the chickens, ducks, donkeys, cows, alpaca and emu that the couple are tending.

“Jeff and I are in this strange position, where we straddle both worlds,” Burton says. “We live in a very blue collar, rural farming community. With our friends and neighbors here, we don’t want to talk with them about Hollywood. That’s not fun and it feels cheesy. And then we also have our work lives, where we love those people, those are our family members. If you spend 18 hours a day on set, you’re bound to form very strong bonds with those people. So, to be able to combine those worlds was something that was important to us and to be able to applaud the members of our community, who are doing such good work and taking care of everyone else.”

Why did you want to share your story?

I had been encouraged to join social media for business purposes. There were all these impersonation accounts and they were like, “Hilarie, you should probably own your own name.” Also, what I was witnessing was a lot of glamour and a lot of unattainable lifestyle that didn’t look like my life and, to be perfectly frank, it made me feel like the life I was living maybe wasn’t as valuable, and that bothered me.

The competitive nature of social media bothered me, so I started to post really stripped-down pictures of our farm. The no-makeup picture was getting a response from people that was positive, and so, I wrote the book that I needed when I was in a bad place. I’ve always found solace in literature and in memoirs specifically, because if you can see a road map to happiness, it makes it so much easier for you to create your own path. So, yeah, I wrote the book that I really needed when I was searching for my place.

Also, I wanted to own my experience on One Tree Hill. I worked hard on that show and I walked away from it, and so, by committing pen to paper and talking about the hard stuff, I got to take it back.

So much of what’s on social media paints an unattainable and unrealistic picture. 

Yeah. You know that and I know that, but there are people, specifically young women, out there who don’t know it. I was very sensitive about the new normal that we had created for young women on One Tree Hill in regards to sexuality and not having parents around, and what the normalcy of being a teenage girl is, so I didn’t want to contribute to a new normal that made people feel bad. Does that make sense?

Yes. The memoir makes it clear to the reader that everything that happened to you makes you who you are. Do you think so?

For me, when I decided to buy the farm with my husband, I was given the book The Bucolic Plague, the Beekman boys’ book. They were very frank about the troubles they went through in establishing their place in their community, and I valued that. It made it OK for me to struggle, it made it OK for me say, “Oh,” and pay it forward. To be equally as forthcoming in my book was important.

There are certain places or experiences in life where you walk in and you know right away that it is right. You get that feeling. Is that how you felt when you bought the farm?

Absolutely. It was every movie I watched as a child. I glamorized the Sound of Music, I glamorized Anne of Green Gables, the pastoral beauty of the farm really enchanted me and it made me nervous. The things in my life that have held value are things that have initially always made me really, really nervous. I joke that when I met my husband, I’ve never been so, I don’t want to say intimidated, because that comes off wrong, but I was on my heels a little bit. I was like, “Who is this?” He was so larger than life, and I had that same feeling when we first came to the farm of, “Oh, I want to live up to this. This is something to aspire to.” So, I knew I was going to have to learn a lot and give up a lot in order to commit to this lifestyle. It’s not as easy for me to work anymore, but I chose lifestyle over career, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

For people who have been kicked out of their patterns during this quarantine, who are at home for the first time in forever, or who are reckoning with themselves in isolation for the first time in forever, I address a number of those things in the book because that’s what I did 10 years ago when I moved here.

So, if you never acted again, would you be OK with that?

Yeah. Honestly, I have been acting my entire life. I started doing theater when I was eight and I found that my value in acting doesn’t come from how many people watch it, or whether or not it’s a hit on TV, or it’s a movie that does well. My value in acting has always come from the immediate experience in the collaboration.

Even if I was doing local theater here in Rhinebeck, we have the Rhinebeck Performing Arts Center, and I keep saying I’m just going to go direct plays over there because it’s the collaborative experience. It’s always meant so much to me. I like that team spirit. Our children have shown a very big interest in the arts, and it’s very important to their dad and I that they learn the business coming up through community theater, doing it on a small scale, carrying your own props, doing your own hair and makeup, and being the self-sufficient person who’s able to work well with others. That’s really an important life skill and community theater is great for honing that.

Did you ever make it to Paris? It was your dream before meeting Jeffrey.

I did.

But in your mind, Paris was more than an actual destination. It was more of a change that you wanted to make in your life.

I had had my heart set on Paris, because I’d gone on a deep dive into Parisian history and was fixated on revolution. And now, hindsight’s 20/20 of course, I can see why as a young woman, as a 24, 25, 26-year-old woman, I was fixated on revolution, because I had so much turmoil and anger inside of me.

My revolution was saying, “You don’t have control over me anymore,” and that was very empowering. I called Jeffrey and Gus my Paris. In them, I found what I was looking for. They’re my Paris.

I did eventually end up going to Paris. In an odd twist of fate, it was a One Tree Hill convention that took me there, and it was the first time that I’d seen the cast since I’d left the show. So, I was so nervous. I took my childhood best friend with me to be my buffer, and it ended up being such a wonderful, magical experience and such a beautiful reunion with everyone. It was a good way to see Paris.

The best 2019 CFB preview series begins with Bowling Green

By mid-August, Bill Connelly will complete deep looks into all 130 FBS teams. That starts now.

In a sport like college football, with an increasing disparity between haves and have-nots, there can be great power in zigging when everyone else is zagging. Without the zig, this sport wouldn’t be what it is today. The air raid, the option, thousands of tiny innovations in between: all zigs.

A lot of times, though, you find out why no one else was zigging.

Bowling Green’s method for finding head coach Mike Jinks, for instance, was certainly creative.

Then-AD Chris Kingston wanted to keep a good thing going. So he Googled which team had the best offense that year, noted it was Texas Tech, and essentially targeted the top Red Raiders assistant he could afford.

Conservatively speaking, it was the dumbest coaching search in college football history.

Never mind that Jinks — then the 43-year-old running backs aide at Tech — was a career Texas high school coach with three years of college experience, none as a coordinator. Or that Texas Tech didn’t even run the same scheme as Bowling Green — no small thing if continuity was the main selling point. Or that Jinks had never so much as set foot in Ohio. Or that one BG insider told me Jinks had given so little thought to becoming a head coach that he did not have the standard, ready-to-go list of assistants he planned to hire.

“Bring me someone from Texas Tech I can afford!” was a bad zig.

Since winning 28 games and two MAC titles from 2013-15 under Dave Clawson (now at Wake Forest) and Dino Babers (Syracuse), the Falcons have won nine. They fell from 10-4 and 51st in S&P+ to 4-8 and 93rd in his first year, then 2-10 and 101st in his second. They were 1-6 last year when he was mercifully fired, and they rebounded to finish 126th (out of 130) in his absence.

By comparison, athletic director Bob Moosbrugger’s approach to hiring Jinks’ replacement was downright normal. Sure, he didn’t go the “up-and-comer” route that brought Matt Campbell and Jason Candle to Toledo, and he didn’t go with the proven small-school coach, a la Lance Leipold to Buffalo (from UW-Whitewater), Chris Creighton to EMU (from Drake), or Clawson and Babers to BGSU. And he didn’t go with a guy with any sort of spectacular track record.

But at the very least, maybe Scot Loeffler had thought for a moment or two about becoming a head coach before he became a head coach. Progress!

The 44-year-old first made waves as Michigan’s quarterbacks coach and will forever have Tom Brady’s name on his résumé because of it. He spent a year coaching Tim Tebow at Florida, too.

Since 2012, though, he’s mostly been synonymous with failed reclamations. He was asked to save Gene Chizik’s Auburn offense in 2012 but couldn’t (61st in Off. S&P+), then moved on to three years of scuffling for Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech (average rank: 73.3). He spent the last three seasons at Boston College, where — despite a burst at the end of 2017 — his offenses never topped 88th.

The 2015 Virginia Tech attack, ranked 57th in Off. S&P+, is the best offense he has coordinated.

Loeffler has really leaned into the Island of Misfit Coaches vibe.

He elected to retain well-worn defensive coordinator Carl Pelini, though it appears Pelini is heading to Youngstown State to coach with his brother.

That could be great news for Brian VanGorder, the Loeffler of defensive coaches (who actually coached at Auburn with Loeffler in 2012, with similar not-quite-success), hired as linebackers coach.

Offensive coordinator Terry Malone is a 35-year veteran who coordinated Purdue’s 2015 and 2016 offenses (82nd and 92nd in Off. S&P+, respectively), after a long stint with Loeffler at Michigan.

To put it diplomatically, you’d love to see a bit more success on these long résumés.

Regardless, it’s not hard to see Loeffler attempting to craft a physical-as-all-hell identity, what with the early-2000s-Michigan flavor of his and Malone’s CVs and the blitz-heavy VanGorder’s influence on defense. Perhaps Loeffler’s most intriguing hire is running backs coach Chris Hedden, most recently the coordinator at Division III Trine University, which rushed for 305 yards per game last year. (Unfortunately, Trine’s studly running back, Lamar Carswell, isn’t coming with him.)

In a MAC built around speedier player types, it’s not impossible to build around a meaty run game. But that’s quite an identity shift.

Offense

Despite Jinks’ pass-heavy preferences (BGSU was 93rd in standard downs run rate and 89th in passing downs run rate), Malone’s offense could look like a Malone offense sooner than later.

The leading returning rushers are 200 (Andrew Clair) and 217 pounds (Rico Frye), respectively, and the five most experienced linemen (Jack Kramer, Lorenzo Taborn, Caleb Bright, Matt Tanner, and Derek Downs have combined for 62 career starts) average 6’5, 313. Taborn and Tanner are listed at 325 pounds or heaver.

Size doesn’t equal skill, but you need both, right? Halfway there!

Clair and Kramer were bright spots for this offense last year. Clair had 24 carries for 194 yards in late wins over Akron and CMU, and he and since-departed receiver Scott Miller were BGSU’s only hopes for big plays — he had seven carries of 20 yards or more. Kramer, meanwhile, earned third-team all-conference honors at center.

Quarterback Jarret Doege had bright moments as well. (The offense wasn’t great, but certainly wasn’t Jinks’ biggest problem.) BGSU was 71st in passing success rate, and he ended up with 2,660 yards and 27 touchdowns.

Miller was Doege’s go-to receiver, but the former Texas Tech quarterback will have 6’4 junior Quintin Morris (41 catches, 516 yards, 7 scores), Washington State transfer Isaiah Johnson-Mack (60 for 555 in 2017 in Pullman), and seniors RB Marlow III and Jordan Wayne-Prather (combined: 46 catches, 487 yards).

James Snook-USA TODAY Sports

Isaiah Johnson-Mack

Tight end wasn’t of frequent use last year — that might change — and could get replenished with the addition of Indiana transfer Austin Dorris and some redshirt freshmen.

Still, one figures there will be quite a bit more focus on rushing and physicality, and while the pass blocking was further advanced than the run blocking last year (the Falcons were 120th in stuff rate allowed), girth alone suggests they could lean on some smaller opponents.

Defense

I try to apply some positive spin in these previews, and I tried my best to paint Bowling Green’s 2018 defense as one with potential for improvement, premised around Pelini’s presence and the experience on the two-deep.

Four of last year’s top five linemen return, but seven recent three-star recruits — sophomore tackle Josh Croslen, plus four redshirt freshmen and two true freshmen — wait in the wings.

The best of the bunch, end David Konowalski (8.5 tackles for loss in 2017) missed the season with an Achilles injury, and another of those “four of last year’s top five” returnees, end Brian Sanders, moved to tight end. (I’m not sure if he’s moving back to defense this year or not — his Twitter bio says “Bowling Green Defensive End,” so maybe.)

Linebackers Brandon Harris and Posey are back but could get pushes from Coleman, redshirt freshman Jerry Roberts, two JUCOs (Hassan Belton and Brandon Perce), and three three-star true freshmen.

Roberts and Perce didn’t play, and Belton showed promise before being lost with injury in the second game. Harris and Coleman played nearly every down.

Each of last year’s top eight DBs is scheduled to return, plus a 2016 starter, but three recent three-stars could push for time there, too.

Leading returning safety Fred Garth missed three games, and the 2016 starter, safety Jamari Bozeman, missed four. Leading returning cornerback Cameron Jefferies ended up making four TFLs and 12 passes defensed ... for Cincinnati.

The youth is most intriguing in the front seven, where BGSU needs the help the most. Opponents gained at least five yards on 46.6 percent of their carries in 2017, the third-most in the country, and BGSU made few disruptive plays to counter that.

Despite the iffy depth that Konowalski’s and Sanders’ absences caused, none of those redshirt freshmen made an impact. True freshman Karl Brooks led the team in sacks (albeit with just 3.5) but, at 235 pounds, got pushed around a bit too much to make an impact in run defense.

David Konowalski (94)

Long story short: Bowling Green’s defense was terrible. The Falcons fell from 119th to 128th in Def. S&P+, getting shoved around against the run and playing all-or-nothing pass defense — eighth in completion rate allowed, 129th in passing marginal explosiveness.

Whether VanGorder or someone else mans the defense, he’ll take over a unit with the opposite experience ratio as last year — he should have plenty in the front seven and little in the back. If Konowalski returns 100 percent, the Falcons could have a nice, quick front seven with the senior teaming with ends Brooks and Roland Walder (combined: 8.5 TFLs, 5.5 sacks) and tackles Kyle Junior and DeMontae Haigler (10 TFLs, five sacks). At linebacker, Harris gone, but Coleman’s decent, and between Belton and untested youngsters, there might be decent speed.

The secondary is now the concern, though. The three players responsible for most of the defense’s disruption — corners Clint Stephens and Montre Gregory and nickel Marcus Milton — are gone, leaving safeties Jerry McBride III, Bozeman, and Caleb Biggers, and ... I have no idea at cornerback. Junior Ty Redding is the leading returnee; he had three tackles last year (with two breakups!).

Special Teams

Marcus Milton was a pretty efficient punt returner.

I just listed all of BGSU’s 2018 special teams strengths. The Falcons were 89th in punt efficiency, 116th in FG efficiency, 121st in kickoff efficiency, and 130th — dead last — in kick return efficiency. Loeffler retained linebackers coach Jacob Schoonover and moved him to special teams coordinator. I’m not sure that was a kind thing to do.

(Milton’s gone, by the way.)

I swear I don’t mean this to sound as mean as it probably does, but if there’s one benefit here, it’s that Loeffler understands what it’s like to bide your time without visible improvement.

And while the offense is pretty experienced, the identity shift on that side of the ball, combined with a defense that is starting from scratch (and maybe led by VanGorder), seems like a recipe for extremely low expectations in 2019.

The good news is that if there’s some improvement, that puts a few wins on the table. There are two winnable non-conference games — home games against FCS Morgan State and Louisiana Tech (94th in S&P+ in 2018) — and MAC East foes CMU and Akron, both starting over with new coaches themselves, come to Bowling Green.

If the Falcons can match or slightly exceed last year’s 3-9 record and establish a run game with Clair, Frye, and a big OL, then that’s probably enough for 2019.
