Reasons why I love Bugsnax cuz I need to talk about this game which has now consumed me completely (there’s some spoilers here and there, as I’m just writing down stuff I can think about at the moment)

All the characters are neat, and are so fun to interact with-

Considering the situation they are in, I think how they all interact with each other is very realistic, which I love. Like, there are friendships and cute romantic relationships, but there are also not so good relationships that aren't toxic but still make for a good dynamic within the group

All the character designs (both grumpus and bugsnax) are peak marketable plushie designs (I want the Bunger and Strabby plushie so badly)

The bugsnax are so silly :) They are just kinda bug, kinda snax :)

The Bugsnax reminds me of Pokémon, except you don’t make them fight, you just feed them to your friends- Like, how they say their own names, some are harder to catch than others, and just the look and vibes of them

There are multiple lgbtq characters, but not forced or marked-like. They are just there, like it's completely normal, which makes me so happy (Like Floofty is disliked by practically everyone, but no one misgenders them, which means it’s just… normal)

Bunger bunger bunger :D

The names of everyone are so fun, from just misspelled normal names to straight-up muppet-esque names (Triffany - Tiffany, Elizabert - Elizabeth) (Wambus, Gramble, Floofty)

If I had a nickel for the amount of times I got emotionally attached to the one “good” parasite who have the name combo of “S_out”, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice. (Sprout aka the buggyball from Bugsnax, and Scout from hello puppets)

I love the Bugsnax, especially the strabbies, they’re so silly :)

The lore is so good and fun, and I might have just been on a “oooo fun game” high, but I didn’t really catch any plot holes or plot lines I heavily disliked, so it’s good :)

Then again, it does have some darker themes, already showing before the ending, and it’s a good ending no matter, story wise (I did not nor will I ever have the guts to get the bad endings tho, like no, that would hurt too much)

Also if you get the ✨secrets✨, it looks like it could ramp up to a sequel, which I absolutely want

The journalist aka the player character, is very much a self-insert type protagonist, but they’re also not just a reflection of the player. Like their little notes and drawings for quests and such are so fun and cute (also for the people who decided that the most common name for the journalist is “Buddy”, I love you /p /hj (no hate to other journalist names of course, I just like Buddy))

The fact that the player also is allergic to Bugsnax is so fascinating to me, like we survive of sauces, but feed everyone else (technically not including Shelda and Gramble, but they can both eat Bugsnax, just have other reasons why they don’t). It works so well with angst, cuz on the island we have the journalist who can become sick after a while but still trudges on, and after the island, well, there’s definitely some guilt there from feeding everyone

I dunno why, but I love the idea of banjo-pop music, and I would like to thank Wiggle for introducing me to it

I also love Broken Tooth island just showing up, like it really shows there’s something weird about the Bugsnax islands (both Snaxtooth and Broken tooth). Not to mention how weird Snaxtooth is, with hot desert almost bordering frozen solid mountain

Snaxtooth is really an adventurer’s dream come true, which is why it humors me so much that some of the grumpus who joined the expedition are just… normal people. Who just joined, like for a vacation??? It’s funny

I managed to get all the achievements which I’m very proud of myself for managing :) I also have done all mail requests, and that’s just because of the wonderful people who made a guide for how to catch 5 different Bugsnax in 60 seconds or 10 Bugsnax in 90 seconds

Over all? Silly game which definitely also deserves its psychological horror tag, but I adore it

I leave you with this really lazy edit of my favorite parasites /hj

#bugsnax #don’t mind me just rambling #I absolutely adore this game and it’s been on my brain for a couple weeks now #does not mean I’m leaving the hello puppets fandom or abandoning my works #I’m just gonna focus more on this for a bit

ok Zero relationship rambling under the cut-

(again in order of least to most reasonable)

Jana

Obviously not gonna happen but these two bonded so quickly over having to keep Gattina in check 💀

plus they're both big, strong n hot so my brain just did the math automatically-

But they're both very busy on opposite sides of the kingdom so they don't really keep in touch often :(

Maybe Jana could teach Zero a sport or two...

Hades

Also not gonna happen but they're kinda cute tho!

They're the two strongest (known) and highest ranking demons in the kingdom, but they can't talk to each other like normal ppl at first 😭😭

Hades has to work on getting Zero to be less subservient (while he unlearns tht trait himself), and they do end up as pretty good friends~

no matter what, Hades still throws some shady verbal teases at Zero when they're alone (lee to lee communication)

Gattina

this is my #1 guilty pleasure oc ship I think!

Gattina's the first person in Zero's life to ever beat him in a fight (even if it wasn't Totally fair) and honestly? that's kinda hot to him!

he's not gonna let it happen again thooo

And in Gatti's case, she just likes hearing him raise his voice whenever she does smth stupid

Like with Jana, he's usually holding her back from an Actual Fight, but w/ Zero she'll deliberately do something outta pocket just to have him grab her by the arm and give her a stern look-

He knows what she's doin 👀

Shura

oughhg the pains the angst,,,

These two were the best of friends as kids, and they already dated thru their teenage years before Shura got possessed left the village </3

I haven't decided whether I wanna let Shura Survive the plot yet but even if he does, I might not put him back with Zero fully bc of the bad stuff he did 😳

Zero still has light feelings for Shura in Any continuity tho :')

Izzy

this one came outta fuckin nowhere tbh!

These two are the definition of hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby (radiation dog vs banjo wielding puppy idk)

the shawl that Izzy wears is the one Zero used to wear when he still lived in Asayesa, and Izzy wouldn't let a single thing happen to it 💖

Izzy's the first one of the Asayesa gang to actually go visit Zero at the castle! (minus Shura but that wasn't a good visit 💀)

Zero usually has to scoop Izzy up out of some kind of peril, but he doesn't mind bc his lil country boy is just too goofy n cute!!

In return, he gets plenty of teasing and kisses an-[Removed for 'Too Affectionate' Crimes]

oh also they play music together anytime they get the chance to :)

Meri

getting into the Intended Relationships now :)

Traumabonding 3.0

Another Stoic/Silly ship, but the silly is mostly hidden on Meri's side

These two are both sooo used to forcing themselves to act super professional. They're always in the public eye, being scrutinized over every little detail...

They finally get to meet in private when Zero accidentally ends up in Zidenna's garden, and that becomes their secret meeting place whenever they both have spare time on their schedule 🖤

Aries

already muchotexto'd about these two in the last one-

Zidenna

childhood friends to lovers trope my beloved 💚 (+size diff my Ultra Beloved)

Super Gigantic Traumabonding 4.0

It takes Zero a pretty long time to warm up to his other coworkers, but the day he sees Zidenna again he's acting like they weren't even separated for 15 years~

Zinny's always hovering around Zero, playing with his hair or pinching his cheeks and ears just to idle, and he lets it happen (you can even catch his tail wagging if it goes on long enough :) )

Zidenna's clownery kinda rubs off on him sometimes! They've convinced him to play lil pranks on Noel or Aries every once in a while

Anytime they walk past Zero, they have to make sure they're not Too close or he's gonna scoop them up in a big hug and Not let go for a bit :'D

(they both think Meri is fine as hell-)

I could go on about these goofies for centuries but I shouldn't 💔

Zin & Meri

This one is Zero's definite endgame for sure,, it makes the most sense!

Zinny joins in on the little meetings once they figure out Zero and Meri are using their garden for em, and it just blooms from there!

#my ocs #//Zero #//Jana #//Hades #//Gattina #//Shura #//Izzy #//Merias #//Aries #//Zidenna #so many...#Zero/Estelle was a Slight possibility (theyre both group moms) but Es is getting w Zero's brother 💀#hmmm who should i do this with next...

i. don't even know how to put everything into words. i finished painful today and im just. fuck man. every time i play it, new edition aside, i get something more and it just hits me so hard

spoilers below for new stuff

so first of all i got the terry campfire scene which made me FUCKING INSANE OH MY GOD first of all i love terry's myriad of facial expressions, he really goes from :) to :( to :D so fast and i feel like this is the first time brad's actually admitted anything like this at all because he has to act like he knows what he's doing at all times, and this is like the ONE TIME he feels safe enough to be honest, and it's just so much!!!!! AND THE FUCKING!!!!! HOW THE LISA HALLUCINATIONS FADE!!!!!! AND YOU'RE STILL WELL RESTED DESPITE THE CONVO!!!!!!! AND THE HALLUCINATIONS DON'T COME BACK AFTERWARDS!!!!!!!!! HOLY FUCK DUDE!!!!!! i don't ship them but i can only imagine how happy you are if you do!!! regardless it was. it was so fucking good!! i don't even care that it means brad telling buddy he's never been hugged before is kind of a lie lmao he's still never been hugged by a family member so that's something

i also got two other campfire scenes - three of them turning the fuck up to some jams, and bo trying to play his banjo and missing his brother. :( sad stuff

i already talked about the borders but i love them so much!!!!! i love how they change based on the location!

part of me wanted to try finally recruiting buckets but i just couldn't do it lmao i'm too much of a softie to keep sacrificing my guys to RR, but one day i'll shove down all of my guilt and do it. i did recruit basically everyone else except for rooster bc i just gave him his chicken back bc i'm nice, crisp bc i just gave him his boyfriend back bc i'm nice, clint bc i never had enough mags, and jack because i just forgot about him LOL but i think i got everyone else, including some guys i hadn't gotten before.

i had my usual angry sob fest at the fact that TO BEAT THE GAME YOU HAVE TO KNOCK BOTH OF YOUR KIDS UNCONSCIOUS, and i'll also never not cry at how the marty fight has "marty armstrong/father" and the brad fight in joyful has "nobody/dad". gghghghghghhghg!!!! i didn't notice many differences, i put terry in my final party because i wanted to HURT MYSELF but all of his dialogue was the same. nothing wrong with that, i was just wondering about it beforehand.

so that's playthru #1 down (of the DE, i've probably played at least 10 times, maybe more), i'll start joyful tomorrow, and i'm gonna replace painful however long it takes to get all of the campfire convos i want!! i especially want to FINALLY figure out how old everyone is! i thought i had something with nern but NOOOOOOO and like i have my own theories and stuff but man i don't fucking know we have so little to go off of

anyway 10/10, shattered me into pieces all over again, can't wait for playthru #2

Part 18 of Bat Times at the Bayou!

———

*After they picked Katloula with them, and a good hour of travelling, Pinstripe, Joe, Moe and Ripper Roo were finally arrived at Dingo's Diner.*

*As usual, there weren't not much customers, except a frog playing banjo, and a bird cleaning his skateboard.*

*Dingodile was checking his revenue through the cash register. Pinstripe press the buzzer again.*

Dingodile: Yeah yeah, I heard ya.

Pinstripe: How about saying hello first?

Dingodile: Yeah, yeah, Hello. You took care of those creeps?

Pinstripe: Yeah, they even exploded. So how about cleaning my name at Mosquito March now?

Dingodile: Oh yeah... About that. I haven't got the time to do any of that during these days.

Pinstripe: Come again?

Dingodile: Look I was busy here. Taking care of a diner is a big responsibility.

Joe *apart*: He should have more freetime with the lack of customers.

Dingodile: What did you say?

Joe: I said nothing important. I talked about my hobbies to my brother.

Moe: Wait you didn't , you--

Joe: Quiet.

Pinstripe: So I presume I'm still wanted , huh?

Dingodile: Yeah. But I'm sure they'll forget about it very soon, the posters starts to worn off anyway, and--

*Dingodile's cellphone is ringing.*

Dingodile: Yeah, hello, Dingo's Diner, D for Delicious, who's talking?

*Pinstripe eyerolls and sighs.*

*Dingodile then frowns, the voice he heard on the phone seemed familiar.*

Dingodile: Oh... It's you.. Nah, I didn't exploded anything. Wait, you're not here for that? Then for what... Oh.. Fine, I'll go. But I'm not going to be tender with you.

*He hang off the phone.*

Joe: Who was it?

Dingodile: None of your business, I'll have to go very soon.

Pinstripe: Where?

Dingodile: I said none of your business, you've done your work, you can leave now.

Pinstripe: Fine,I'll go. Our job is over anyway.

Joe: Yes, we're quite tired.

Pinstripe: That's why we're going to leave now. Oh, and one more thing.

*Katloula speeds into the Diner, jumping on Dingodile.*

Katloula: DINGODILE, MY SWAMP CUPCAKE!

Dingodile: Ah no, no and no again! I already told you to leave me alone!

Katloula *still excited and happy* : But honeybun! We are made for each others! You haven't realized it yet!

Dingodile: You won't get away like this Pinstripe.

Pinstripe *falsely naive*: Oh it's not my fault, she insisted. ;)

Dingodile: Next time , you'll know what'll come to you.

Pinstripe: Yeah, whatever you say. Until next time then!

Katloula *keep hugging the hybrid*: I LOVE YOU DINGODILE!

*After they changed back to their normal clothes, and packed up their luggages, Pinstripe, Joe and Moe then leaves the diner, and pick the taxi to drive back to the Airport.*

*Then Moe realized that once again, Ripper Roo was not there.*

Moe: Wait, where's Ripper Roo?

Joe: He probaby went his own way. He wasn't even with us for the departure.

Moe: Oh right..

Pinstripe: I better hide my face again once we'll get to the airport.

*The taxi starts and rolls to the airport's direction.*

WEEK 6 - Wrap Up

What a Week for NYC

What a crazy week for the New York Football Teams....Jets and Giants. With the Jets upsetting the Eagles and the Giants coming so close to taking down the Bills at home....I just kept thinking about this Fred Armisen bit about New York accents and had to post. Nothing more to say - just think he's funny. Welcome to week 6 wrap up!

MALIK MY BALLS vs MOOSES ON THE LOOSES

Sorry Mitch. Sorry that I didn't bet you a bottle of Tequila on this match up. Sorry I took away your precious High Point money. Sorry your kicker only can put up 6 points. Sorry you dropped Achane and that he also got hurt and that Mostert is now starting and that he put up 36 points. Sorry that you seem to be having an amazing season but yet you are tied with me at 4-2. Sorry that you lost...actually sorry, not sorry. Fun week Mitch. Sorry.

TREE HUGGERS vs TRADE WITH ME

OMG...he's 6-0. Scott Krippayne is 6-0. With a modest week of 96 points and without getting a full game out of his precious CMC - Scott Krippayne was matched up against Brett Rutledge who with Ekeler still to play is down 42 points going into monday night - so yes, I am callling it. Brett who was riding high on his 1 game winning streak just could not get it together with disappointing performances from everyone except the Lions Defense. Scott, who didn't have a great week saw amazing numbers from Thiielen, a TD from CMC before he went out and a good outing from Dalton Schultz. Nice win Scott...will you ever lose? Next up for Scott...Cliff Young.

BOOMER SOONER vs LANAKILA

The thing with Cliff is - if you give him a little taste of winning - he wants it all the time. He is now on a 4 game winning streak, and like Krippayne, this wasn't a high scoring week for Cliff either...but he put up enough to beat Stu Jones. Stu's best player - Stefon Diggs only put up 15 points...and he needed 6.05 more to win the match up. So basically had Diggs scored a TD things would have been different. In fact, Stu would have won, I would have won a bet or two, and some needed money...and Cliff would be a loser. Thanks Stu and Stefon. Nice win Cliff - keep it up and we may have a back to back champion on our hands (hope i didn't just jinx ya).

BACKDOOR BANDITS vs HOWARD

Yes, this GIF is because Rob Howard plays the banjo. Most weekends that's what I hear from my house...banjo music from his porch. Sometimes he has an entire polka band out there. It's a really special place to live. This week Rob beat Kyle. Rob put up 124 points so he almost won high point but I had a little bit better of a week so i snag the dough. Rather than talking about what Rob did right let's spend a moment focusing on what Kyle did wrong. He just doesn't have a very good team this year. And those players that you would think would be great like Metcalf, Lamar and Etienne...well, when only one of them put up significant points - you don't win much. So Ron moves on to 4-2 and Kyle to 1-5. Nice win Rob. I am ready for Octoberfests to be over so you are not on the road and the neighborhood can hear you play again.

MR. AWESOME vs TuPADRE

Usually one of my favorite match ups of the year. Gully vs Gabe. Best Friends going at it. At this week Gabe took the stick to Gully and knocked him out early. Gully had a good week from Tua with 28 points, Derek Henry in London managed to give him 17, and Ravens Defense in London gave him 15 but Gabe just had the magic of Tyreek (27), Hall (15), Pitts (10), Waddle (11), Kicker Carlson (13) and Eagles D (10)....and who know what tonight holds with Dak...he may put up 37 and steal my $20 from me. Nice win Gabe. I am sure your friendship will carry on but you should feel better than Andy and Son.

LONG LEFT BALLERS vs FUNK GUY

Why do I feel like we are in the same place every week with Funk Guy. More times than not - it comes down to Monday night...there's a bit of hope but then it ends badly. Tonight we go in with Dana leading 80 to Bebo's 76. Dana with Cowboys defense still to play and Bebo with Keenan Allen and CeeDee Lamb. Dallas defense is always good...they are always putting pressure and getting sacks but tonight the Charges did find a way to score. In fact, the first score of the night was a Keenan Allen TD. So, when the game ended...Bebo won...Dana lost. Bebo moves to 5-1 and Dana to 1-5. Heartbreaking week for Dana - first with his Giants and now with himself.

SURVIVOR

The Final Four Continue. It was a close call for Gully but everyone moves on.

CHEERLEADER OF THE WEEK

Brianna was born in Stuart, FL and now lives in Fort Lauderdale. She was rated by Women Fitness as the most beautiful cheerleader...and as far as I am concerned who would know if that is true, more than other women. I am trusting it. Brianna for the win.

applejack headcanons in a sort of timeline i have in my head based on the flashbacks/statements in the show lol this is gonna get long i apologise

aj is born in the sweet apple acres barn to bright mac and pear butter :D

we get the apple family reunion episode flashback where she is lichrally baby asking for apple fritters 🥺

she grows up a bit, just by family gene pool luck shes a strong little fucker and as she grows her family realises she's not just physically strong but strong willed too, it becomes a running joke that shes secretly part mule with how stubborn she can be :P

bright mac had a dog from when he was younger that he loved with all his heart, big mac loved him too but applejack thought was a grumpy old lump of a beast she just Did Not Like This Animal you know how kids can be lmaooo

applejack and big mac dont really leave the farm all that much, theyre homeschooled by their parents and granny smith so, generally they dont have that many friends their age in their childhood, they say hi and play a bit with fillies and colts they pass while helping out with deliveries, aj and rarity possibly have a few interactions through this but nothing really sticks at this point, they know each others names and thats probably it, the apple siblings are a big hit with usual customer and ponies who sell them things in the market

pear butter teaches aj how to play the guitar and she practices until her hooves hurt, her ma is very proud of her, they like to play duets when they have some alone time :] then, deciding to branch out from that applejack also picks up other instruments like the banjo and the fiddle, they find out she has quite a knack for music! (applejack is only slightly disappointed she doesnt get her cutie mark from it, but unlike applebloom would be in the future, she doesnt mind all that much, after all granny smith always said it'd come with time 😌)

not long after little applebloom is born we get the great seedling episode flashback which is a turning point in applejack, a moment like finding out santa or the tooth fairy isnt real, she matures a little bit that day, gains more of the work ethic we see in her as an adult

around this time is when bright mac and pear butter die :( i dont have a concrete headcanon on How they die but the dangerous trade routes the apples have to take to make deliveries may have had something to do with it, or maybe they were trying to protect the farm from something coming from the everfree forest, im not sure

the rest of the apple family make their way to sweet apple acres to give their condolences and help out in any way they can around the farm while our apples grieve :( its sad but it brings aj and big mac closer than they'd ever been

after shes recovered a little from that, i think aj kind of loses herself, i mean how can you not after losing both parents :(( so she decides to leave the farm in the hopes she'll be able to find herself again in manehattan, this is the cutie mark chronicles flashback and where she realises she belongs in ponyville, Runs home and gets her cutiemark

after a little bit, to help her become a little bit more social with foals her age, applejack goes to camp friendship where she meets little coloratura and the two Immediately click, aj gives her new best friend the nickname rara and they're practically inseparable the whole summer, their friendship starts to grow into something more but rara is heading back to manehatten after camp and applejack belongs back in ponyville, so they decide to give a lonb distance relationship a try, they manage to exchange letters back and forth for a long time, ultimately deciding a long distance relationship wasnt gonna work so they mutually decide to break up but still stay pen pals! after a while, the letters stop and they become just a memory in one anothers minds

sweet apple acres eventually returns to a business as usual state, with groups of relatives stopping by the farm now and again to give a helping hoof considering its now run by a late-middle aged lady, two children and a baby lol, applejack, while still doing a lot of tree bucking, is starting to take on a more maternal figure role in applebloom's life as well as being her sister, her and big mac feels more responsible and protective of the foal since she would be growing up with no ma and pa, they sort of took on those roles, applejack more intensely i guess i just see her as having strong maternal instincts embedded in her or something lol, but she for sure isnt "single mom"ing it, with granny smith and other relatives ready to take the little bugger when aj needs to get stuff done :P it takes a village and all that lmao

since at this time aj and big mac are starting to go into town more often and are free to do as they please as long as their chores get done, they start actually interacting more with teens their age in ponyville! applejack starts hanging out with fillies like rarity who she had known in passing but now could finally get to know and the cake's new apprentice and ponyvilles youngest party planner, pinkie pie

after starting to hit some awkward growth spurts as she reaches her teens lol, she starts taking an interest in the business side of the farmwork too, dealings with customers, looking into trade routes stuff like that, this is when the where the apple lies flashback takes place i fuckin love that episode please watch it, and this starts applejack's lifelong promise to never lie ever again which she keeps bc shes a legend as fuck <3

one day aj notices cloudsdale passing through probably to start preparing ponyville for the next season, and she hears a Thud coming from a row or two over from where she's working, she goes over to investigate to find a pegasus filly shaking off what aj can only assume was a crash, she asks if shes alright, n the filly is like of course i am im so tough toughest around actually thanks<3 and aj is internally like hm. this kids kinda annoying. they introduce themselves and applejack finds out rainbow dash is looking for her friend fluttershy, she likes to come down from cloudsdale to play with animals or something, but applejack hasnt seen any yellow pegasi fillies around so the little blue filly says thanks anyway and zips off at what aj can only describe as probably the speed of light, she somehow has a strange feeling this isnt gonna be the last she sees of this kid

she turns out to be right when shes invited to a happy visit to ponyville from cloudsdale party thrown for rainbow and fluttershy, apparently rainbow had bumped into pinkie while asking around ponyville for any idea where fluttershy and of course pinkie Had to make an event out of it once she had helped rainbow find her friend, the party was of course a lot of fun rainbow and aj somehow managed to turn every party game into a competition and despite their first impressions of one another they actually got along really well and gained a good amount of respect for each other, aj eventually found fluttershy sort of hiding away from most of the party and fluttershy actually opened up a little after talking with aj bc of how calming her presence was for her

over the next few years the five got to know each other quite well, anytime cloudsdale passed by rainbow and fluttershy would drop into ponyville to hang out or just say hi, and once they were old enough they moved into their ponyville houses and the five of them became just a regular friend group youd see hanging out on the streets of ponyville, fluttershy helps aj pick out a border collie puppy for help with wrangling critters on the farm (applebloom was getting too old to be sent off to mindlessly run after little animals all the time and she had started going to school so she wasnt around as much lmaoo) and just as a companion for applejack, she names her Winona :]

and then after those few years Twilight shows up! you know the rest from there :P

if i missed anything uhhh whoops<3 lol

#mlp #mlp applejack #tezztalks #mlp headcanons #might make more of these idk tho #block that tag if u dont wanna see em BDNVD #the hc tag i mean

I:"So why?" D:*sigh*"Would you believe me if I said it's because I'm an idiot?" I:*doubtful* T:"Actually, THIS part checks out." D:*flatly*"Thanks, Toshi. You're a real friend." T:*raises eyebrow*"Exhibit A: The dustbin incident." D:"YOU PROMISED NOT TO TALK ABOUT THAT!"

Izuku had some expectations when he opened the door to Aizawa-sensei’s apartment. Namely, he expected Eri to be in the apartment. Just Eri, because he had been asked last-minute to look after her by Aizawa-sensei who’d been called away by a hero emergency.

Now, Eri was in the apartment. Which was good. Izuku was always slightly paranoid about leaving Eri alone for any length of time.

Less good was-

“You!” shouted Izuku, pointing.

“Uh,” said Danny Fenton, who was, for some reason, kneeling in front of Eri holding a large flower. “I can explain?” he said.

“Deku!” said Eri, bouncing on the couch. “Danny’s teaching me about my quirk!”

“Or she can explain. That’s good, too.”

Izuku hit the ‘time traveler panic button’ and frowned at Fenton. Fenton waved.

“So, uh. You probably have questions. Have you seen Banjo-san yet?”

“Do you know All for One?”

“I met him. Once. Not really my best decision. And before you say anything, I know that what I said to you and what Kazuki-san showed you about that is different.”

“Yeah? And why is that?” asked Izuku, cautiously approaching. He wanted to be between Eri and Fenton, but there wasn’t any way he could do that subtly.

“Deku?” asked Eri.

“Don’t worry,” said Fenton. “I just worry him. Here.” He handed Eri the flower, and stepped away, almost to the other side of the apartment, between the kitchen counter and a table with a vase with decaying flowers in it. “Would you believe me if I said it was because I’m dumb?”

Izuku, mindful of the new space, put himself in front of Eri. He almost wanted to take her and run, but he wasn’t sure what Fenton was capable of.

“Actually,” said Toshinori-san, pushing the ajar door open the rest of the way, “that part checks out.”

“Thanks Toshinori-kun, you’re a real friend,” said Fenton, flatly. “Who’s with you?”

Toshinori-san frowned, glancing at someone behind the doorframe. “The dustbin incident, for example,” he said.

“Oh, come on, you promised not to talk about that! It wasn’t even my fault.” Fenton tilted his head. “Normally, I’d guess Sorahiko-kun was behind there, but he’s too short now... And that doesn’t feel like his quirk. Something to do with truth?”

Toshinori-san glanced to the side and shrugged. “Might as well,” he said.

Detective Tsukauchi stepped into the apartment.

Izuku had hoped Toshinori-san would bring someone a little more suitable for a fight.

“You can call me Detective Tsukauchi. Although, I suppose you already knew that, being a time traveler.”

“That’s not really how this works,” said Fenton.

“Then how does it work?”

Fenton looked back at Izuku. “It’s related to the whole ‘I’m dumb’ thing from earlier. It’s, ah.” He glanced at Eri and then Detective Tsukauchi. “The person that we were talking about, the one who the discrepancy was about, I didn’t realize they were the same person until later.”

“How can you know so much about One for All, and not that?”

“My boss is the one that has all the answers, not me.”

“That’s a lie.”

Fenton frowned. “Well, I guess... It would be better to say Clockwork has all the answers, not me. He’s not really my boss.”

Detective Tsukauchi nodded. Izuku made note of the name. It was clearly an alias, but he doubted they’d get anything more concrete from Fenton.

“So what is your relationship?” asked Toshinori-san.

“He’s... sort of my guardian. My mentor.” Fenton shrugged. “It’s a long story and not relevant. The thing is, everything is a lesson with him. As much as this is a learning experience for you, it’s a learning experience for me.”

“When did you first meet All for One?” demanded Izuku.

“Ah... From my perspective? About a month before I met Toshinori-kun. I didn’t realize it at the time, thought. I thought that when I joined Toshinori-kun’s school was my first time in this timeline.”

“And what did you do?”

Fenton made a face. “The details of that aren’t safe. But, um, the basics are that I got lost, someone asked me for help, and I gave it.”

“Not safe for who?” asked Detective Tsukauchi.

“You guys, mostly. I can always just not come back.”

“Did this Clockwork send you to All for One as well?” asked Toshinori. His tone was bland and even, but Izuku could tell that there was a lot of anger behind his eyes.

“I- Look. I will answer that, just... Let me say a few things first?” Fenton’s hands, still in a half-raised position, twitched in an aborted gesture. “First, I genuinely mean no harm to anyone here. I don’t think Clockwork does, either. Second... Midoriya-san, did you think about what I asked you, last time? Why Toshinori-kun’s shape changed when he was using One for All, but yours doesn’t?”

Izuku bit his lip, wondering if he should answer. He’d talked about it with Toshinori-san a few times, but he’d never said the explanation he’d come up with out loud.

But his curiosity was a bit too great to resist.

“It was his quirk, wasn’t it?” he asked. “One for All made him develop his own quirk.”

“Bingo,” said Fenton. “I mean, you did talk to Banjo-san, right? At this point?”

Izuku nodded, slowly.

“Great. Like, because of that, you might be able to do the shapeshifting eventually, but, more importantly, you can’t move in that space, can you? When you can...”

“That body,” said Izuku, “it’s not me, it’s my quirk being put together.”

“Basically, yeah.”

Had this been a year ago, Izuku would have been thrilled. Now, however... He really had enough on his plate.

“You know what it’s going to be, don’t you?”

“I have guesses,” said Fenton. “But, no, I don’t know.”

“You said you’d answer my question,” said Toshinori-san.

“Right. Yes. Well.” Fenton took a deep breath. “I don’t know.”

“If he sent you to that time-” started Toshinori.

“I don’t know if it was even him that did that part,” said Fenton. “He might have, but he usually gives me a warning. No. It’s... ugh. Here.” He reached over to the vase and plucked out one of the flowers. Light warped oddly around it and his hand, and when everything was clear again, the dahlia was as vibrant as it had been the day it was picked. “Eri and Clockwork aren’t the only ones with time powers.” He smiled at the little girl who was still hiding behind Izuku. “Mine works a little differently, though.”

“You do have multiple quirks, then,” said Toshinori-san. “What did you do, to get All for One to give you them?”

“I didn’t get anything from him,” said Fenton, sharply, “except for a promise that he broke basically immediately.” He muttered something under his breath. “My powers- I’m not even sure they can be called a quirk.”

Izuku couldn’t help but look at Tsukauchi, who looked... confused. But not like he was being lied to.

“I didn’t get them from anybody, I wasn’t born with them, they weren’t inherited. I didn’t have them until I was fourteen. They were an accident. Like I told you I’m not from this timeline. There are no quirks in my timeline, and only two other people even remotely like me, and-” He took a deep breath. “Sorry. I’m ranting. I have to go, soon, your teacher is almost back. Last question.”

“Why are you here?” asked Izuku. It was probably stupid, considering the two adults in the room.

“Um. I thought that was obvious? To help Eri with her quirk. It would be really irresponsible of me to leave things like they were.” He gave Eri a thumbs up. “Don’t forget, little sister, it isn’t a curse. And it’ll be a while, a long while, but you’ll get to meet Clockwork, and it’ll be super coo-”

“And... He’s gone,” said Izuku, sagging.

“At least we learned more?” said Toshinori-san.

“I-”

Aizawa-sensei skidded into the room. “What,” he demanded, “happened?”

Eri tugged on Izuku’s pant leg. “Deku? What’s One for All?”

Toshinori-san blanched. Izuku felt all the blood drain from his face.

This was going to be a problem.

Red (Taylor's Version)

Written by: Taylor Swift Produced by: Christopher Lowe & Taylor Swift Length: 3:43

This song is about loving someone with everything that you have, even tho it's the wrong one. Taylor sings about passionate love and equally passionate pain. That's why Taylor considers her love with "Scarf Boy" "RED" because it was always one extreme or the other. Never in a comfortable state. And you have to remember this song is FULL of metaphors, Blondie loves those.

HIDDEN MESSAGE IN THE LYRICS: "SAG"

Some people that refers to her and "scarf boy" having the same Zodiac sign (Sagittarius), others think it stands for "Swift And Gyllenhaal", and some think it stands for the SAG awards which is something that actors attend - which "scarfy" is.. an actor.

Taylor wrote this song on September 7, 2011, at 21 years old while on a plane to Nashville.

September 8, 2011 - Nashville "I was supposed to fly to LA after the show in Tacoma WA last night, but after talking to my brother on the phone and missing my mom and my town where I know my way around - I got homesick and flew back to Nashville instead. It was a long flight, but I'm so happy I chose to come home. Mostly because I wrote a song on the plane on the way home called, 'Red'. I got in at 6AM this morning, slept til 10, brought mom eggs benedict for breakfast, went and got coffee (the pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks!!) and mom and I drove around talking. She showed me all the new decorating she'd done in

her new house. It looks absolutely fantastic. She has scented candles burning in every room. So each part of the house smells like a new kind of heaven. In the evening, I went to Nathan's studio to record (Nathan Chapman produced the original version of this song that we don't listen to anymore). When I played 'Red' for him, he lost it. He absolutely freaked over the lyrics. I was so happy. As we started recording it, it got more and more awesome, with banjo and this affected vocal part that runs under the chorus going "re-e-ee-e-d" I'd love to name my next album "Red". Scott "Slimeball" came over because I called him and he was still working at the office. He said this song takes it to the next level. He

lost it over this song. My mom loves it too. It's so different than anything we've done. I can't even tell you how alive and worthwhile I feel when I'm writing a new song and I finish it and people like it. It's the most fulfilling feeling, like getting an A+ on your report card. Recording again tomorrow. :) Taylor <3"

[Verse One] Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ended so suddenly So, for those of you that don't know, a Maserati is a car that is FAST. It has a top speed of 187, and it can get to 60mph in less than 5 seconds. So, in comparing her love with "Scarfy" to driving this super fast car down a dead-end street - she's saying it was never gonna work, but the thrill was worth it. Maserati:

Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall This is such a good line because it's so true - in love, you can see it starting to fall apart right before your eyes, but you can't stop it. The same thing with flying thru the free fall, you can't just fly back up to solid ground... You have to go with gravity, my friend. Like the colors in Autumn, so bright just before they lose it all This one hurts, she's saying the love was absolutely beautiful until it very much wasn't. But she didn't say the colors faded, she said they LOST their color. Like it wasn't their choice like it was taken from them. That's why Taylor's diction (word choice) is so important.

[Chorus] Losing him was blue like I've never known Blue = Sadness, deep sadness. Missing him was dark gray all alone Dark gray feels like a lonely and vacant feeling from inside. It feels like this photo looks:

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met It's impossible to know someone you have never met, just like it's impossible to forget him. But loving him was red So, when Taylor says "red" she means passion, jealousy, love, hate, confusion, anger, sadness. All of that to her means "red". That's why in Daylight she sings, "I used to think love should be burning red, but it's golden". Because love shouldn't be like it was with "Scarfboy", love should feel serene.

[Post-Chorus] Red, red Red, red But loving him was red Red, red Red, red (This is the "vocal part" she was talking about in p. 2 of her journal entry.)

[Verse Two] Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you When she touched him, she knew that he was everything that she has ever wanted. Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song He was easy to learn because he was her favorite topic of discussion. I mean, it's easy to learn a new song when it's by your favorite artist. Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer *Ahem* Not them doing a crossword in the All Too Well Short Film.

But seriously, what she is saying here is that trying to reason with him was like talking to a brick wall. Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong This is so sad, regretting being with him because the love was so strong - so the pain was equally as strong. There are 2 quotes that I think of when I hear this line. The first is from Selena Gomez's song with Coldplay and the lyric is "They say love is only equal to the pain", and then the quote that is at the beginning of the Short Film, "Love is so short, forgetting is so long" by Pablo Neruda.

[Chorus] Losing him was blue like I've never known Missing him was dark gray all alone Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met But loving him was red

[Post-Chorus] Red, Red (oh red) Red, Red Burning Red Red, Red

[Bridge] Remembering him comes from flashbacks and echos Tell myself It's time now gotta let go But moving on from him is impossible When I still see it all in my head In burning red In this whole verse, Taylor is saying is impossible to move on from this guy because she can still see it in memories in her head over and over. Flashbacks of memories, echoes of words and promises - all red.

[Instrumental Break] Burning, it was red

[Chorus] Oh losing him was blue like I've never known Missing him was dark gray all alone Forgetting him was like Trying to know somebody you've never met 'Cause loving him was red

[Post-Chorus] (red, red) yeah, yeah, yeah (red, red) Burning red (red, red) (red, red)

[Breakdown] And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head Comes back to me, burning red

[Outro] His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street

Mini Fanfic #685: Pizza Date For Two (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)

7:34 p.m. at the Smash Mansion.........

'Doorbell Rang'

Kazooie Went to the door and opens it. Only to see......

Banjo: (Holding a Box of Pizza in his Hand While Wearing Black Tuxedo and Having a Cool, Seductive Like Smirk on his Face) Hey there~ Not to intrude or anything, but did a beautiful breegull, like yourself, ordered a hot, delicious pizza on this fine, lovely evening tonight?~

Kazooie: (Gives Banjo a Smirk on her Face While her Arms Are Crossed) You rehearsal all night saying that, didn't you?

Banjo: ('Sighs in Defeat') Yeah. I did....(Smiles Brightly) But I still got us pizza! And guess what kind of topping it is?~ (Opens the Pizza Box for Kazooie to See)

Kazooie: ('GASPS') Meat Lovers!~

Banjo: (Happily Nodded) Yup. (Starts Blushing a Little While Rubbing the Back of his Head Back and Forth) I figured you like those toppings a lot. So I got them for the both us to enjoy together.

Kazooie: Aw~ (Gives Banjo a Loving Hug) You did all of this for me?~ You really are a Honey-Bear- Wait a minute. (Takes One Look at Banjo Before Pulling Away for a Second) Banjo.

Banjo: Yeah?

Kazooie: Why exactly are you wearing a tuxedo? You do know we're not going out tonight, right?

Banjo: I know that. I-I was just....(Starts Looking Away From Kazooie Shyly) A bit curious to see what your reaction of seeing me in it....(Starts Blushing Again) Since you said it would look good on me that one time......

Kazooie: Ohhhhh....So that's why rushed yourself out the door like a madman earlier. You spent those couple of minutes in our room, putting it on, didn't you?

Banjo: Yeah.....I was being quick about it a d everything.... B-But anyways, what do you think? It isn't too much, it is? I know you're not big on being fancy or anything, but-

Kazooie: (Gives Banjo a Kiss on the Cheek) You look great Casanova. Handsome even~ (Takes the Pizza Box From the Honey Bear's Paws and Make her Way Back to the Living Room) Now come on so we can get this date night started already.

Banjo: (Gently Place his Paw on his Right Cheek While his Blush Turns Bright Red) .......................'Kay.

An Hour or Two Later.......

On TV Screen: Oh, I know I don't think I don't see what I'm seeing what I'm thinking!

Banjo: (Sat Next to Kazooie on the Sofa, Under a Blanket) Hey, Kazooie, can I ask you something?

Kazooie: (Resting her Head into Banjo's Shoulder) What's up?

Banjo: Am I... doing a decent enough job being your boyfriend and everything?

Kazooie: (Eyes Widened From Banjo's Question As She Got Up From his Arms and Face Him) What?

Banjo: I-I mean.....(Shyly Twirling his Fingers Around) We've been a couple for a while now and I was uh..... wondering if I'm being a good enough boyfriend for you or not....

Kazooie: (Starts Frowning a Little in Worry) Banjo.... where does all of this is coming from? (Puts on a Light Glare on her Face) No one's talking shit about you again, are they?

Banjo: (Quickly Put his Hands Up in Defense) Nononono! It's nothing like that! Really! I just wondering about all of that myself. (Looks Down on the Pizza Box) I don't wanna be a bore to you or anything....

Kazooie: (Immediately Grab Hold of Banjo's Paw) Banjo. Don't you ever say that about yourself again! You are definitely NOT a bore to me. Never have been and never will.

Banjo: (Slowly Turns Back to Kazooie) You.... really think so?

Kazooie: (Pokes on Banjo's Cheeks) I know so, ya big stupid lug. I mean, sure, you may be a huge softie and probably the biggest goody two shoes I've ever known to man-

Banjo: (Glares at Kazooie) Hey!

Kazooie: (Place Both of her Wings onto Both of Banjo's Cheeks) But those are the two out of the million things I love the most about you. Even when we were both just friends.

Banjo: (Almost at a Loss of Words) Kazooie......

Kazooie: Listen, I know being in a relationship can be scary to you sometimes, hell, it scares me more than I can even count, but as long as we got each other and are able learn from one another, I promise you we'll be just fine. So please don't stress yourself out over it, at least for my sake, okay?

Banjo: (Smiles Softly Before Giving Kazooie a Loving Hug) I promise Kazooie. Thank you so much~

Kazooie: (Chuckles Lightly While Hugging Banjo Back) No problem, babe~ Can you promise me one more thing though?

Banjo: What is that?

Kazooie: Could you pleeeeasee promise me that you won't talk down on yourself again?~

Banjo: (Frowns at Kazooie Sad (Adorable) Face) Aww~ Does it really make you sad whenever I do all of that?

Kazooie: It's make me wanna knock a bitch out more if anything. But sometimes, yeah, it does make me sad.

Banjo: Awwww~ It's okay, Kazooie. I won't make you said anymore. (Kiss the top of Kazooie's Head) I promise~

Kazooie: (Giggles Softly While Blushing a Little) I know you won't~ (Kiss Banjo's Cheek Again Before Cuddling Onto his Embrace) Love you, Honey-Bear~

Banjo: Love you too, my uh....Rosey... Breegull~

Kazooie: (Pulls Away from the Embrace for a Sec) Rosey what now?

Banjo: Rosey Breegull. You know....since you have red feathers and.... you're a Breegull and-

Kazooie: (Place her Wing onto Banjo's Cheek Once More) We'll work on giving me a cute nickname some other time. (Went Back to Hugging and Snuggling onto her Honey Bear) Right now, I want my cuddles~

Banjo: (Chuckles Lightly) Yes, ma'am~

A semi-long note on Mumford's Posse -- or why I hate Country and similar.

I was watching a WatchMojo video when I was reminded that Mumford and Sons exists. (I didn't realize that they weren't his sons, but whatever.) This got thoughts percolating about my tastes in music, of course.

See, I've been acutely aware of a criticism about how I describe my taste in music. I say "I like a lot of things, just not" and list off the usual suspects of genres that people dislike:

Bluegrass

Country

Folk

Christian Rock

Gospel

Rap

Of those, I'm most lenient about Rap. I don't like it for the most part and think it ruins songs of other genres it's merged into (like the majority of pop these days), but there are occasional Rap songs I like (and only a few of those are by Eminem!). Folk might be in that group; I'm underexposed and I like Barns Courtney's "99" (despite his accent).

The others? No. Basically never. I hate proselytizing more than almost anything else (keep your fucking religion to yourself), so take offense at what I perceive as the Evangelical's need to desecularize literally everything. (Your faith isn't a suitable replacement for a personality, Karen.) But I am not bombarded by Christian Rock the way I'm bombarded by Country, so it's clearly the genre I hate the most.

Like, the moment I hear a characteristic twang (in vocals or in instruments) in a song, it goes on my "no" list.

Enter Mumford and Sons and their single "I Will Wait".

I had never heard of Mumford or his cadre of not-sons before this song was everywhere. And, for once, I didn't hate it. Why? Two reasons: first, it was obvious that it wasn't intended as a US Country song (I didn't know he was British for a minute), and second (and more importantly), it was almost a parody of all the things I hate.

The song begins with a bunch of rapid strumming -- unusual for Country, save that one of the instruments being strummed is a banjo, which you always strum quickly. We're already off to a good start: banjos practically make fun of themselves. The only people who play banjos are the sorts of hicks you see in Deliverance -- stereotypes of outdated stereotypes. All right, something to hate with sheer glee.

Then we get to the first four measures of vocals. I'm not sure if this is two or four lines of lyrics, so we'll go with measures.

Measure two: "Like a SCHTONE!" This accent is nearly unidentifiable to me; I'm unsure if I went digging into the Mumford & Partners' past and/or British rural accents, I could find a matching one. If this were a Country song, we'd have our first hint of that atrocious Southern drawl. But it's not, so the song is a little more bearable -- but also hysterical, because there is no way anyone talks like that and does so seriously.

It takes us four measures to hit our first twang. When I say "twang," I mean a note or chord in a song that's off in a way that's suggestive (again) of that horrible Southern accent, even if it's purely instrumental. In this case, it's the word "heavy" drawn out in an excruciatingly flat note. Country loves doing this and here we have our first solidly Country awfulness.

Mumford & Company will keep this up every other line with A vowels and words that can be A vowels in the right accents -- except in the chorus, where "I'll" remains an English I vowel.

If that was it, I would hate the song. Indeed, I can't listen to the song all the way through because of it unless it's playing in the background.

However, Mumford & Associates does something to alleviate the matter by making it almost parody: they also turn most O vowels into one that rhyme with that wonky SCHTONE! from before.

So here you have these competing threads of "I'm a hick! Linguists demand everyone in the world accept this as a valid form of speech, even though it is someone puking in your ears!" and "Absolutely no one in the history of forever has ever spoken like this; laugh with me!"

Thus, I get a little kick in my legs and try bouncing along like those hick dances you occasionally see in cartoons -- specifically like Old Man McGucket from Gravity Falls.

youtube

Now, I know this song was written and performed in earnest: the lyrics do not belie satire and nothing else about the band says anything insincere. Thus, I can feel validated in hating the song as much as I do -- like I said, I can't listen to it all the way through. But I can still enjoy it as though it were parody, because gosh darn it sounds like it.

🍁 Autumn Headcanons 🍁

(feat. @wallymcflubberfins’s treasure planet oc Lukas) also Happy Birthday Wally 🥳🍁🍂

as some of you may or may not know, Sophie was actually born one the second day of autumn, so yeah, it’s kinda her season.

neither she nor Jim can find anything not to love about autumn.

The warm and comfy clothes, the perfect weather, the drinks and food, the holidays, the occasional downpour of rain, the gorgeous colors, and it’s the PERFECT time for solar surfing.

Theodosia loves knitting & crocheting comfy clothes for her family.

sweaters

gloves/mittens

scarves

She made one extra long so Sophie and Jim could share it.

and sometimes Sophie will join her mom and they’ll knit together, so it’s a good bonding experience

Sarah loves the foods she gets to cook & bake during fall

tea & scented candles

I love to imagine Sarah, Theodosia, Lukas’ parent, and Admiral/or Mrs. Blake having tea/coffee together and talking about their kids

the only bad thing about the cold weather is the seasonal allergies.

so these kids are all about the fall season (then again who isn’t?)

once September 22nd rolls around, she begins to sport comfy overalls and switches over to brown & red sweaters most of the time.

like, this girl goes full on hobbitcore/cottagecore with a healthy dash of goblincore

this ranges from picking up and pocketing neat looking stones, sticks, and random stuff she finds on the ground

come autumn, her inner bookworm starts to come out more

she and Jim are a two person book club

Sophie going out and collecting brightly colored leaves she finds on the ground and little flowers and stuff and making resin art out of them.

fairy lights in the bedroom.

good vibes

as for Jim, he’s back to sporting his dark jacket more often (but still lets Sophie wear it sometimes)

uses the cold temperatures as an excuse to snuggle up to Sophie for warmth (is not sublet about it at all)

cold coffee in the morning and warm brews in the afternoon.

Jim would also probably manage to get Sophie to try one of those cold lattes in the glass bottles.

might like it, but at the end of the day, will settle for hot chocolate or good old chocky milk.

and now they have two new friends to hang out with in the fall season!

I imagine that Kate prefers autumn more because of the preferable temperatures and pretty colors and is a bit unbiased on the festivities.

but ever since she became friends with Sophie, she’s learned to enjoy what the fall season has to offer

Lukas loves the fall season for similar reasons as his love for the Christmas season; the extra layers, warm food, and chill vibes.

Especially this lil get together his parent hosts every year during the season where a lot of his neighbours get together for like a lil potluck.

he’s also quite fond of the beautiful colors that comes with autumn, them being second to spring colors.

still not a fan of the cold tho

but his favorite thing has to be the meals his parent prepares this time of year, especially the desserts.

Although he doesn’t have much of a range of taste, Lukas has quite the sweet tooth and despite being a godawful cook/baker, he practices making his parent's food a lot so that he'd be able to make them too.

being the sweetheart that she is, Sophie would absolutely take it upon herself to try and help him learn.

So far he's managed to not burn one of his attempts at his parent's pumpkin pie for once so he's got that going for him!

Kate daring Sophie into dying her hair auburn red with a safe temporary dye that lasted about a week or two before she went back to obsidian black.

needless to say, she actually really liked it.

anyway, September is still in its youth yet Sophie’s already started planning.

good holiday prep takes a lot of time, and what with school and work and their personal lives, so best to get a head start.

Sophie introducing Kate to the joy that is leaf piles 🍁

candle making

pumpkin patch trip 🎃

despite how tall he is, I think Lukas would probably get lost in a corn maze and Jim or Kate would probably have to go in and get him.

naps.

all the naps.

napping all day

wake up

get coffee

go back to sleep till 2 pm

BLANKET NEST

Sophie spending some time staring out into the distance while sitting on the roof/ dock/ a hilltop and playing a melancholy tune on her dad’s banjo or her Ocarina

visits her dad’s memorial grave more often

kinda just sits next to the gravestone and will “talk to him” for a few hours about how life’s going, comforted by the hope that he’s listening

crying is inevitable

Jim wondering where Silver might be and how he’s doing

(Silver laying low in some tavern a few planets off with a mug of mead and gazing out the window, wondering how his kids are and hoping they’re doing alright)

taking polaroids when they’re just hanging out

putting them in a scrapbook

decorating the pages with pressed leaves/flowers and everyone’s signatures

Sophie coming home with a basket full of pine cones

she loves the scent

D&D campaigns

how it plays out is extremely dependent on who’s DMing

@fuzzy-cloud-head-queen @thenewnio @catrillion @carlottastudios @friendofcybermen @dangergays @ends-of-the-wayward-storm @i-love-you-by-thunder @snowflake-dreamer @awkwardspacesoda @from-shattered-stars

Season 2 Shenanigans

AHEYYY sO I went on a giant Knight Rider binge the last few days, and I've FINALLY seen all of Season 2!! Big thank you to @trust-doesnt-oxidize who watched with me and stayed up absurdly late because I wanted to see Garthe before I went to bed AIDBWJFNEM

I just wanted to post a quick reaction to all of the episodes, spoiler warning activated!

Goliath Parts 1 & 2

I LOVE MY DOOFY VILLAIN SON. K.I.T.T. is HILARIOUS, I love his dynamic with Goliath, as is evident by my handle oops- I hate how Season 2 starts with my son almost dying tho, almost had a heart attack tyvm! This is back before I knew anything about the direction of the rest of the series so I was legitimately in shock lmbo- Moustache Michael is a gem tho I love him. I SURE HOPE HE STAYS A DUMB VILLAIN WHO'S JUST REALLY SILLY TO WATCH. SURE HOPE THEY DON'T TAKE HIM TOO SERIOUSLY.

Brother's Keeper - Blind Spot

I- forgot that these episodes existed until I looked at the episode list for this, soooo...

I should really not be lazy and look up an episode summary and try to remember what I thought of these but the problem is that I am in fact going to be lazy because this post is already taking so long

Return to Cadiz

This episode is so,,, frustrating. Not the plot or the format or anything like that, nono... I mean how they essentially introduced April. Like, okay, I know that she has been here since the beginning of Season 2, but she hadn’t really said much up until now. This was where we really got to know who she would be, and, uh... After this episode, I absolutely hated her. Despised even. She forces my son to go drive on the same ocean on the same beach where Karr DIED without any testing beforehand AND is chastising Michael in a flirtatious way. The heCK is this woman?! WHERE’S MY BONNIE???!!! I was so mad at her you guys I. But the thing is, I don’t hate April, not by a long shot. In some ways, the rest of Season 2 does a better job giving her a character than all of Season 1 did for Bonnie! I really enjoyed April and wish that both could have stayed. BUT THIS EPISODE makes her SO HATEABLE and I just ugh.

also I tried to watch this a long time before I got to and after seeing the intro and not knowing the title of K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R. at that point in time, I thought Karr was gonna come back based on all the panoramic shots of the underwater and I am so sad that he didn’t so oops this episode gets my wrath a bit

K.I.T.T. the Cat

0/10 there are no cats. False advertising.

Seriously tho this episode was a pretty run of the mill episode. The best part of the episode was Kitt, because it always is, but seriously that guy with the hedges was amazing- I GOT THE GAG BY THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED BUT THE FIRST TIME HE GOT STUCK IN THE TREE OH MY GOSH I WAS DY I N G- Also the fact that Kitt messed him up again trying to apologize is so sad yet funny ahosihdfiohasdf

Custom K.I.T.T.

APRIL GET THAT STUPID DECAL OFF HIM OH MY G O S H-

Somehow her 2-d design ideas looked almost worse than the actual thing and I thought the actual thing looked like a that default sticker decal that you get on a Hotwheels car. I’msorryI’mnottryingtoroastanyartistsIjust I why there’s so much potential with giving Kitt decals :(

Seriously I want to use my drawing software to draw fire on Kitt at some point because it could be done so cool and that ain’t it chief. I’m probably not going to be too great at it either since I don’t do backgrounds nearly enough and fire would be a background element for the most part but I could at least alter the colors ; m ; OR LIGHTNING OH MY GOSH AAA LIGHTNING WOULD BE SO COO L ON HIM- anyway it needed so much more red- and it was so asymmetrical too aHHHH-

I. I’m fine it’s fine I’m fine it’s fi-

I don’t even know why Kitt needed a decal anyway, the other cars didn’t have to have decals to be considered custom, surely his dash alone could have done it-

ANYWAY

This ep was so WEIRD at times oh my gosh. What was that series of insults the two ladies spat at each other? Like the one just complimented her eyeshadow aggressively and the other one accused her of wearing “training bras” or something like whAT EXCU S E ME What is this episode?! Kitt was so upset about the decal too :[

Soul Survivor

OH MY GOSH IT’S CUTE IT’S SO CUTE YOU GUYS-

I was recalling @knight-rider-fan-2000‘s theory about this episode (plz go check them out btw aaaa), and after watching it I totally agree. Michael was especially kind in this episode, and he seems to be overall a more supportive mentor for Kitt this season, starting with Soul Survivor and being pretty consistent throughout. I love their new dynamic so much- There’s definitely still episodes and moments where he’s closer to Season 1 Michael, but Season 2 Michael is a far superior human being in my opinion.

KITT’S SO ADORABLE LIL TINY CPU OH MY G O S H YOU’RE TELLING ME OUR SON IS ACTUALLY T H A T SMALL AAAAA

Michael really is so sweet in this oh my gosh, that whole arc where Kitt is his partner no matter what and that the car isn’t what made Kitt-- AW!!!! ADORABLE! Kitt being so unsure that he repeatedly asks Michael how it feels to see the Knight 2000 without him in it or fusses about his limited functionality as Michael patiently reassures him again and again that he’s wanted just the way he is, I just- Feelings.

One thing that hit me as funny though is when Michael finds Kitt’s CPU in the garage and the trash can is just like PULSATING and then he like yells at it like “tAlK tO mE kItT” and Kitt’s jus sitting there as a box of colored lights like “...”

I can just imagine a cut scene where Kitt’s like, “Oh and by the way Michael, if I could have said something I would have done so LONG before you started asking me to. Believe it or not, I don’t like being in a trash can.”

“You Dingaling.”

Also Michael and his whole “I’m an honest man you can trust me listen I’ll give you a small TV just like this one” and then he proceeded to not do that. Hmm.

Anyway, yeah, it doesn’t get any cuter than this. The only thing that would have been better is if Adrianne didn’t exist. Good thing she’s gone now~!

Ring of Fire

THIS IS SO TRIPPY THIS EPISODE IS SO TRIPPY

I would say that I hate Michael trying to get Kitt to subject himself to testing if he can withstand insane levels of heat. I would say that if April did not then walk in and karma the crap out of him. Gosh I loved it. How he immediately was like whAT NOOO YOU WOULDN’T MAKE SOMEONE DO THAT and Kitt’s just like :/

dang hypocrite, Michael my feelings towards you are so complicated sometimes

anyway

So. Many. Dogs. I usually love seeing Kitt interact with dogs but this started to get unsettling, I can’t blame him for not loving 6 different dogs all swarming him at once whAT- Have they nothing better to do than to jump on my son. What the heck language were those banjo players singing in? Was it a language or was it just gibberish keyboard spam that accidentally made it to the final script AOSHDIAOHSD

This whole swamp setting is really unique to this episode, and part of me really does commend the chance they took by switching up settings. It’s almost always a small town on desert roads. The way this all happened though was??? What?

I think the scriptwriters forgot that Return to Cadiz exists because Kitt got so much water damage AHSIDHAOISDH- I know April said the system was damaged but surely it would have minimized this a little bit. Also did literally anything change by the end of this episode? We didn’t see the guy get arrested, did we? And the girl decided to stay living out in the swamp forest thing. The only thing is that she, like, conquered her fear or something? Even though she still isn’t acting in that direction?

This episode didn’t actually d o anything did it LOL

alsowhatevenwasthatexplosion

It’s not a bad episode though, just really bizarre.

Knightmares

YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID ABOUT IT NOT GETTING ANY CUTER?

I WAS WRONG.

THIS EPISODE this episode THIS EPISODE. TOP TWO MATERIAL? MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK. TDR will always be my fav until the end of time I’m pretty sure because I don’t think another episode will get me to ugly sob like that (aLTHOUGH I AM MEGA HYPE HERE BECAUSE I WATCHED KvK AND IT WAS GOOD ALSO BUT WE’LL GET TO TH A T LATER) but in terms of sheer adorable buddies happiness this is the winner by all accounts. I really like how they portray Michael Long, and I genuinely think the arc here has an impact on the rest of the season in terms of how Michael treats Kitt.

I love how Michael had told Kitt a long time ago how they were partners, like how he used to have a partner when he was a police officer, and how now when Long is so confused about everything everyone is trying to tell him, Kitt chooses this specific word to help introduce himself, and everything feels a bit more grounded for Long. I love how Long immediately revolts against the way Devon and April try to tell him he’s wrong about who he is currently, which is, despite good intentions, the opposite of what he needs. I love how Kitt then swoops in behind him and decides to treat Michael Long like a WHOLE NEW PERSON, one who Kitt tries to get to know. I love how Long recognizes just how hard Kitt is trying and genuinely opens up to him. I love how he never reverts to being mean or rude to Kitt after he gets in the car the second time, NOT EVEN ONE sarcastic comment. How he never calls him a computer again after Kitt asks him not to, how he compliments his new partner left and right, how despite having no clue who Knight is he really wants to be that person for Kitt, because Kitt seems sincere and pretty great. I adore that bit where Kitt gently, lovingly lists traits good and bad about Knight and how Long can finally connect to this other version of himself.

“One more thing about Michael Knight.”

“What’s that?”

“I was extremely fond of him”

I love how Long starts saying “Good work, Kitt” after they complete parts of their mission and how Knight does not stop this for the rest of the season, even after he regains his memory. I love so much about this and could frankly talk about it even more than this but this is a brief summary so. So yeah, we’re moving on ;W;

Silent Knight

It’s funny so. I didn’t realize that Knight Rider had done any Christmas specials. I knew about the Halloween specials, but I didn’t realize the Christmas special existed. And so I was laughing at how funnee I was while I was like “SILENT KNIGHT HOLY KNIGHT ALL IS COME-” and then that’s exactly what the pun was meant to be. they done bamboozled me.

ANYWAY THIS MIGHT BE THE STRANGEST CHRISTMAS SPECIAL TO EVER EXIST EVER.

They kept mentioning the Christmas banquet thing to make it mildly related to the season but then it wasn’t, it really wasn’t, it all revolved around clowns. There was. There was a Santa I guess. Albeit a bank robber Santa--

And the kid is juuust obnoxious at first, I love how Kitt absolutely hates him immediately for some reason even though Kitt usually doesn’t hate people unless they do something really bad, but it feels so deserved because the kid is a jeeerk. Maybe it’s because the kid accused him of endangering human life and that Hurt?

Kid: Just let me drive and I’ll throw away this dumb clock thing

Michael: No

Kitt: YES

Michael: W H A T ?!

Kitt: YES

Michael: ugh whatever

I was kind of expecting Kitt to pull some sort of shenanigans while the kid was driving as payback for whatever he absolutely despised him for, but Kitt was actually just really sweet and gave him a bit of freedom until he started endangering himself and then helped him get back into control. Very wholesome.

AND the end was CUTE though, like the boy who had previously been a jerk going over and patting Kitt and being just sincerely nice to him ;w; wholesome

A Knight in Shining Armor

Gosh I always forget what this episode is about because the title is so loosely related LOL

The dynamic with Michael and the girl of the week was actually really cute and chemistry was not entirely nonexistant, so that’s a nice change from some of these that come out of nowhere. Her arc was actually pretty sweet, how she resented technology because she wanted to be loved and cared about, how she thought computers were incapable of doing that until she talked to Kitt...

And the cave was prebby.

But why couldn’t she understand that her DAD was in PRISON.

“Why didn’t he ever come to see me?” “Because he was in Jail.” “oh. But why didn’t he call???”

Diamonds Aren't a Girl's Best Friend

SOMEONE

AHAHA

SOMEONE CALLED MICHAEL

AHAHA

BERNIE CALLED HIM A DINGALING. Speaking of Bernie, all I could think this whole episode was

White-Line Warriors

LONG-LEGGED PUNK-

Seriously idk what this season’s love affair with the baddies picking on Michael but I love it.

Honestly the twist of this episode was really interesting, I still don’t fully get how the baddies’ plan comes together though. So the song plays on the radio and the police go to investigate the drag racers and the crims are IMMEDIATELY ready? okay then.

Radio announcer Kitt tho. That is blessed.

I want Radio Announcer Kitt. Then again, I just want more Kitt in general so.

Race for Life

INHALE

Y’ALL ARE REAAALLY TRYING TO MAKE ME DETHRONE KNIGHTMARES AS THE CUTEST, AREN’T YOU?

Well ha, joke’s on you episode, you’re getting docked points for only giving Kitt and Becky two interactions. And for making the donor obnoxious for most of the episode (although that end scene was pretty adorable). So, okay, second cutest.

THE WAY KITT WAVED I-

HE IS SO CUTE

he is so cute.

Devon was really sweet this episode, not gonna lie. I’m not sure if I’ve said it on this blog before, but I had strong dislike for Devon after Season 1. I can explain that later if anyone wants, I’d be perfectly willing to compare the two seasons, but Season 2 Devon is pretty alright. He doesn’t have much of a presence, but when he does, he’s kind. I’m assuming he let Becky win at checkers, in which case uh, aW?! Devon that’s cute.

KITT TRYING TO TEACH THE TEN YEAR OLD CHESS AHSIODHOAISD I LOVE YOU BUDDY

Also, I feel like this is the episode April really became her own character, separate from Cadiz. She’d kind of just been a slightly perkier Bonnie, but now we get to see her family, her concerns... And April’s a pretty good character.

OH AND THE WHOLE “Kitt is family” ARC IS THE SWEETEST THING ASHDHAOSDohIAD

“Julio, meet Kitt. He’s part of the family”

“Thank you, Michael.”

MY. HEART.

Speed Demons

Okay so. This is another one of those episodes where very little seemed to change by the end of the episode. The guy who was actually in danger quit motorcycling anyway soooo... The episode plot itself isn’t what I feel like talking about.

What was WITH that one announcer guy? Were we meant to like him or not??? First he tries to Kick the Kitt and Kitt’s like :/ whatever

and then he comes back and they start to have like, a deep conversation, and he lovingly pats the hood before walking away. And we’re like AWWW OKAY THIS GUY IS NOT TO BAD

AND THEN he asks Kitt to talk for someone and Kitt’s like “...” and the guy riots. Why did Kitt not talk for him and why did the guy go so absolutely bonkers when he didn’t? Were the cameras rolling and I just didn’t realize? And then we kind of hate the guy again because he once again absolutely went ballistic at Kitt. “That’s Showbiz.”

But then the dynamic with that coworker keeps coming up, and yeah, I guess she does seem a bit annoying. But she also seems like a potential lady of the week and a potential protagonist. So when she gets splashed with mud or whatever that was and the guys all like :D

What are we meant to be feeling?

Are we meant to feel bad for her or happy for him?

Because I just felt confused.

Goliath Returns 1 & 2

GOSH DARNIT ADRIANNE IS BACK

ALSO I-I-I I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID ABOUT YOU BEING A DOOFY AND STUPID VILLAIN JUST P L E A S E STOP ; M ;

SERIOUSLY WHEN DID GARTHE TURN FULL PSYCHOPATH-

THE FEELING I GOT REMINDED ME OF WATCHING THE SHERLOCK FINALE. S H E R L O C K F I N A L E.

Sigh, I should have known he’d gone off the deep end when he walked into a hot tub with jeans on.

I will forever be mad at some versions coughincludingtheoneIwaswatchingoncough for cutting out the fact that Kitt’s microchip was almost ENTIRELY WIPED/OVERWRITTEN AND PUT INTO GOLIATH. Because uh, the way the show cut it up for TV, it seems like Kitt’s really in no danger other than being annoyed. But no, literally everyone almost dies. Fun times!

Seriously why did this convoluted garbage get a two-parter but Kitt vs. Karr didn’t?

This episode makes me sad. Not just because Garthe tried, and almost succeeded, to take away everything we love in this show. Not just because this episode strayed far enough from the typical formula for this to seem like some dystopian nightmare version of Knight Rider. Not just because freaking Adrianne is back.

I mean because I loved Garthe’s character, and this totally changed it. I like that they went into Garthe’s trauma a bit more with this one, but unlike some villains in the Knight Rider canon (okay let’s not play games, UNLIKE KARR-), what he does is so dastardly, SO insaNE, that there is no way to argue that he might be justified. No. No. Garthe, Adrianne, and Goliath are gone now, and that’s how it had to be.

OH ALSO GO O F F APRIL YES QUEEN I LOVE YOU- I honestly felt so bad for her when she turned around and broke down right after standing up to him, like dang, that hurts. And Devon was sweet in this episode too ;w;

Okay but were they planning on making another episode of this? Because that end scene was such an obvious teaser it’s not even funny.

“I hope we don’t run into those very much drowned people out in the streets again, Michael. And I especially hope that they do not construct another semitrailer with the exact same scale and name as the previous one that was driven into the ocean.”

“Yes, I agree Kitt, this is also an anxiety that I possess despite the fact that they are very much definitely Deceased. I sure hope that plot convenience does not interfere in the future.”

THANK GOODNESS THAT ADRIANNE IS GONE

wait what? her actress is in another episode as another character who’s just as awful? wHYYYYYY

A Good Knight's Work

THAT BEAR NEEDS TO DIE. I am so glad Michael ejected the dumb thing at the end, Kitt deserved it. Especially after Michael essentially told him to temporarily kill himself. Michael's a cyberbully now ig. The arc with Kitt and the car salesman was cute. Apparently deactivation is considered programming now? Michael my mans you could have given Kitt any warning at all (I kind of take this back after one of the Season 3 episodes I’ve watched uHHHH this was a lot of warning compared to how Michael rolls in S3 what the heck is wrong with him). Cute episode overall tho I guess. ALSO I JUST NOW REALIZED "A GOOD KNIGHT'S WORK" IS A PUN BECAUSE KITT IS WILTON KNIGHT'S WORK AND I'M MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT NOTICING IT SOONER-

Mouth of the Snake and that other garbage one that's title makes no sense

David might as well be a plank of wood. A plank of wood that yeets himself ten feet into the air whenever possible, but I digress. Does this count as superpowers? I just love how he offended Kitt 0.1 seconds after meeting him and then Michael proceeded to tell Kitt off for reacting. Love that soooo much. It's also hilarious to me how most of this episode has a similar structure to most Knight Rider episodes and then they randomly start reacreating the Most Dangerous Game--

Let it Be Me

Why isn't this the season finale?! I mean, I'm glad it's not, but why? This is way worse than White Bird like why- I feel like the Stevie episodes are kind of a controversy in this fandom? I loved the first one. This one's just, blegh it's okay. She and Michael still have pretty great chemistry WHEN THEY ARE SPEAKING IN REGULAR SPEECH. I do not like Stevie singing the same song with Michael 100 times. The duet at the end is kind of cute though, sue me I like corny things.

Stevie: I’m so sorry I shouldn’t have been with this one guy but ;m;

Michael: has been with approximately 100 women by now

Also Michael: How could you ;m;

Big Iron

This episode is kinda wild. Why does the guy manage to have a full out breakup with Lucy in less than one minute? Why is Michael a marriage counselor now? Why couldn't Kitt take the oxygen out of the cabin when Michael was definitely going to die if he didn't? Since when does Turbo Boost use a ton of oxygen anyway? Why does this man just immediately make up with his wife after finding out that she helped him? And most of all, WHY DIDN'T THAT BARTENDER LADY ACT THE LEAST BIT CONCERNED WHEN THEY ABSOLUTELY TORE UP THE PLACE??? Lmbo she's just like "Stop it guys :/"

It’s so bizarre that this is the season finale ahsdoifhasodf but go off I guess NBC

I'll be honest- I found out about you through someone who reblogged you (fishymomart. She's great btw) and don't really know what kind of fanfic recs you'd want or be comfortable with- but if it's something you'd write, Grant/Henry fluff would be nice. Or Joey/Sammy angst if it's more your thing. Those are my favourites.

Oh, that’s alright. Fishy is my sister :- D. I think she’s cool too.

I’ll write Joey/Sammy, because I don’t know anything about Grant/Henry and never actually met someone who ships them. But this is an interesting ship! Someday I’ll do something with them, but not now.

———————

"Joey?"

Sammy knocked on his boss's door. No one has seen him leave his office for three days in a row. Some began to worry. A lot of people didn't care - they didn't like Joey Drew very much.

Sammy knocked on the door again. No answer. One more time. Still silence.

"Well, let's do it the bad way."

Lawrence took a few steps back, then slammed into the door with all his might, knocking it out. It opened surprisingly easily. And because of this, Sammy was immediately on the floor with a sharp headache.

He regretted his decision. He regretted everything at that moment.

"Sammy, my dear Sammy."

It was as if Lawrence had been transported back two weeks. He and Joey were sitting in this very office, alone. Drew's cold hands grip the musician's. He's shaking.

"You wanted to tell me something, remember?"

Sammy chuckled, reminding him why he was here. Drew smiled back, but continued to shake.

"It's hard to say... It's hard to collect thoughts too..."

Joey exhaled, then took a deep breath.

"I don't allow myself a lot of things. I rarely get attached to anyone... But From the very first day, as soon as you came here, playing the first chords on the banjo, or even on the piano, as soon as you started talking to me, I realized one thing... I'm attached to you. And I really wanted to stay stony, not Express any feelings, but... I'm not very good at it.”

Sammy squeezed Joey's hands. Something in his chest tightened. Breathing became difficult. Everything froze in anticipation. Could it be?... A confession of feelings?... Lawrence couldn't believe that this moment was real, that it wasn't his imagination.

"I care about you, Sammy, very much, believe me... I don't want to lose you. I want you to be there for me, and I'm always ready to be there for you. I promise. I-"

He let go of his hands.

He promised to always be there for him. He didn't keep his promise. It didn't last even a month. What happened? What did Sammy do wrong? The man didn't understand. Nothing.

Tears ran down his cheeks.

Joey Drew was hanging from the ceiling.

Semi-Live Blogging: Finale Time!

With reaction images this time!

Adoradad

TRAINING EXERCIIISE

Adorabat's practicing her screaming! Bet that's gonna come in handy later.

"Fneh!" Wow what an introduction Eugene

His design is like? Really cool?? He looks practically nothing like Adorabat tho. And why does he have a spade on his stomach instead of a heart??

Badgerclops drew him with a giant ass mustache lol.

Adorabat takes banjo lessons? More importantly, Eugene thought she was at a banjo lesson FOR 8 MONTHS?!

"She scares me" lol

Adorabat ran away from home? Why?

"I thought you were a ward of the state!" Remember when everyone thought Adorabat was an orphan? Yea.

"I thought you were my conscience!" Badgerclops...you've lived with Adorabat for a year...went to her school...AND YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS A PIECE OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS?!

...why did Badgerclops use Adorabat as monster bait...

I expected to hate Eugene but he's actually really cute and interesting?? Aside from the fact he thinks Mao Mao & Badgerclops are criminals. Love to see him again sometime!

Wow her dad has a whole badass mansion!! Why doesn't she just stay there...

Oh...her mom died...that's why he's so protective of her and was so upset when she left. Also her mom looks amazing & I wanna see a flashback episode with her. For some reason I can imagine her sounding like a deeper version of Scoops?

Aww Adorabat's room is super cool! Also Eugene cracking the door for her asfgjkl

"Do you think that monsters attacking the city are gonna - wait, does that have peanut butter in it? " (Cuts to MM & BC eating ice cream while crying) That's a perfectly rational reaction to losing your adoptive daughter

"I can keep it together!" (Cut to Mao Mao trying and failing to shovel ice cream in his mouth with his helmet on) NSADGEDHAMADH

Wait a second. Mao's eating mint chocolate chip ice cream. ISN'T CHOCOLATE TOXIC TO CATS?!

"But you said I was part of the team!!" "Then you're...off the team."

Adorabat crying while showing Eugene the picture OUCH MY HEART...

"I used to go exploring in those caves with Mom all the time..." I'm guessing those are the caves from the promo?

"She wasn't afraid of anything!" " Well Adorabat definitely takes after her mother...

"And then one day, Sonara didn't come back with you." Ooh her name's Sonara!! Pretty!! I can't tell if they chose it cuz it sounds like Sonar or because it means "pleasant sounding"

Glad to see Adorabat's still a die-hard metal fan, even with Eugene

Oof Mao isn't taking this well at ALL if he's pretending Adorabat's molt is her...

OOH SHIT ADORABAT RAN OFF TO THE CAVES - wait a minute no she didn't. OH NO EUGENE WENT TO THE CAVES

Ooh there's Sonara's looking glass, bet that's gonna be important

Yay Adorabat saved her dad!

Damn Adorabat must be super traumatized after basically watching her mother die. No wonder she tried to murder Boba-Chan!

Oh the only way to stop the monster is by screaming!

(Mao Mao hears Adorabat scream) "ADORABAT?!" ADOPTIVE DAD POWERS ACTIVATE

Ooh her mother's figure appears over her when she says she's not afraid of anyone...maybe her spirit's inside of her or something?

REVENGE TIME BAYBEY

HOLY SHIT ADORABAT FUCKING MURDERED THAT THING

Eugene & Adorabat both apologized to each other I...

"You can't just leave without the most fearless member of the group!" YAAY ADORABAT'S BACK (Also how are we gonna explain to Eugene Adorabat's scared of the dark?)

"I'll mess 'em up real good! So good, their mommies and daddies won't be able to recognize them when I'm done..." Daaammmnnn...

"She scares me :)"

I wonder...is Sonara really dead? Or are they gonna pull a Kipo & have her still be alive but in a different form?

Badge-A-Fire explosion

Uhh...where is Badgerclops? And why is Mao Mao on the top bunk?!

Of course Badgerclops is petty enough to install a fake monster alarm on his laptop to wake Mao Mao and Adorabat up.

"This is a super-serious work meeting, as you can see by the fact that I haven't provided any snacks!" No snacks?! This must be a serious issue!! /s

"As you know, I am a creative genius. Sometimes there's so much natural creative genius that my brain overloads, and I enter a heightened state that I call 'Ultra Focus'..." Oh so basically like hyperfixation?

"...where I break into a creative sprint, inventing super-advanced technology at supernatural speeds, unparalleled by anyone in the entire field of science." Okay maybe only a LITTLE bit like hyperfixation...wait a second, IS THAT WHY BADGERCLOPS IS SO TIRED ALL THE TIME?!

Uhh did he get his arm stuck in the front door? HE TOOK THE AEROCYCLE?!

"...I forget everything the next morning." Remember my headcanon that Badgerclops represses his memories? Yea...

"Which is why it's not my fault and I don't think I should be criticized :D" TBH I screamed with laughter at this scene solely because of the expression he made

...HE GAVE THE SKY PIRATES THE GEM CELL?! I mean he clearly wasn't thinking right when he did it BUT STILL?!

"Oh hey, I told you I'd use that weird elevator thing!" Dude you LITERALLY used it in Ultraclops. What are you talking about.

"If the Sky Pirates had the Gem Cell, they would've used it already!" That is a fair point ngl.

Umm...did Badgerclops give Adorabat a BOMB?!

Tbh if my friend woke me up in the middle of the night with weird-looking eyes and handed me a timer while saying something about an explosion I would DEFINITELY not go back to sleep afterwards...

I'm sorry, IS THE WHOLE VALLEY GONNA BLOW UP?! WHAT THE HELL DID HE MAKE?!

Mao wiping Badgerclops' tears I'm

A paper towel dispenser? Well that's not that bad - IS THAT A GIANT PAIR OF PANTS?!

Ooh it's not a shock collar it's a translator!! That makes a bit more sense... "I HAVE NO REMORSE OR CONCEPT OF EMPATHY!" ...if the monster doesn't have remorse or empathy how does it know what those words mean...

Badgerclops keeps telling Mao Mao & Adorabat not to criticize him...hmm...I wonder who criticized his inventions that made him that way...*cough* HIS MOM *cough*

"Are all your inventions this weird?!" "YOU'RE WEIRD!!"

IM SORRY DID BADGERCLOPS BUILD A DANCING MACHINE INTO MAO MAO'S BONES?! HIS BONES?! AND HE MADE ADORABAT A SECOND MEGAPEG?!

What in the absolute hell is going on dgaadhdagdadga

Okay but when Badgerclops clutched his head and started shaking when Mao Mao asked why he made those things...I FELT THAT IN MY HEART I FELT THAT IN MY SOUL

Ngl this scene really hit home for me cuz that's how I act when I have a breakdown...

The timer went off but nothing blew up - WAIT, IS THAT A REPLICA OF MECHA HOSSORAFFASNAKEARANG?!

"Initializing Totally Humane Knockout Procedure." (Proceeds to slam the Sheriff's Dept. into the ground) ajdajdgdad

Ooh...ohh they're on some sort of water park...ride...thing??

"And if I didn't want us to get out, then I made sure we couldn't...with super-strong shoe things." But there isn't any on Adorabat, can't she just squeeze herself out?

Ooh I'm getting Pirates of the Caribbean vibes

There's the Gem Cell, it must be powering the ride! Also the robotic arm slaps Mao's hand the same way Mao slaps Badgerclops' hand in Flyaway skkkk

"My amazing creativity is finally gonna destroy us all..." "Hey, at least we'll be destroyed together!" Fair point, fair point

The shoosh returneth

"I always loved inventing." So he was an inventor ever since he was little? Daww.

YOUNG BC IS SO ADORABLE!! He has a lil medical patch instead of an eyepatch which is def more accurate to real life...but what's the vest for? Protection in case he falls? A pressure stim?

That figure's def his mom since they rejected his ideas & he mentions she was mean to him. Also the theory that his mom's a villain seems a bit stronger since they straight-up hand him a tool kid + a set of blueprints with no regard to his safety...

"Also there was a bunch of other kids at school and some other people throughout my life who mocked me relentlessly." THEN WHY'D YOU TELL ADORABAT YOU COULDN'T RELATE TO HER WHEN SHE SAID NO ONE WANTED TO BE HER FRIEND?! (Also I noticed literally all the kids are other badgers, so I'm assuming Badgerclops grew up sheltered like Mao Mao did.)

So the Ultra Focus is basically a really weird coping mechanism to deal with all the abuse and bullying he went through? Holy fuckkk

"They only made fun of you because they were jealous. Happened to me my whole life!" Umm...

"Even the dance chip I surgically implanted in your brain?" Excuse me the dance chip that you WHAT

"I love you-" HE SAID IT 💗💓💗💓

"I'm finally around people who love and understand me..."

Wait did the cannon misfire? DID IT BLOW A HOLE IN THE GROUND?!

OH HE ACTUALLY DID CREATE AN ANIMATRONIC BAND?! I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE!!

"Take it away, Boss Hosstritch!" (Distorted garbling)

Oof Mao caught all the water

"We hope you all enjoyed being Badgerclops' friend." 💞💕💞💕

Not that anyone cares but I noticed there's a picture of some of the Sweetypies on the monitors, meaning 1. Badgerclops tested it out using them first, or 2. Badgerclops just likes those Sweetypies for whatever reason. Tho that makes me wonder why he'd choose Pinky of all people...

THE SKY PIRATES WERE INSIDE THE ANIMATRONICS THE WHOLE TIME?! THE MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTE

Zing Your Heart Out

Why are they giving out rotten sushi??

"HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT ME EATING SOMETHING GROSSLY?!"

Ooh god Chester's gonna be super freaking annoying in this episode, I can feel it.

"What's blue and smells like red paint? Blue paint!" BAYBEY

Jesus what a prick. GET HIM MAO MAO

Ngl that background's really pretty...

Oooh no the Ruby Pure Heart's being weird again. Ooh no.

FUCK YEA ROAST HIM BABY - Did Adorabat's eyes turn purple because the Ruby Pure Heart gave her powers?

Oh so the siren in Badgerclops' robo-arm is a backup monster alarm?

More Sky Pirates - and the Pure Heart's being weird again...

"I'd tell you but despite your height it'd go right over your HEAD!" Asdfgghjjk

"For someone with two brains, you're not very BRIGHT!" EVEN BETTER

Kevin said he was raising money for a school trip, then for a trip to the hospital...which one is he raising money for?!

"SILENCE PANCAKE, LEST YE BE BUTTERED"

OOH NO SHE ATTACKED MAO AND BC

"IT FEELS LIKE THE WEIGHT OF ONE THOUSAND PLANETS!!"

"One second, I'm getting mad, and the next thing you know-" Is she freaking possessed??

Wait, is the Pure Heart TALKING to Adorabat?! How?!

Cluckins you don't ask people what's wrong with their eyeballs...even if there is something wrong with their eyeballs

"I CAN'T FEEL MY SELF-RESPECT!!"

The pure 'oh shit' on Marion's face when Adorabat turns to her

Half of the people she insulted showed up to her party! Didn't that mean she loved them?!

Oh god not this bitch again - nvm, thanks Adorabat

"Taking over the castle and ruling Pure Heart Valley forever does sound nice..." This is starting to remind me of that one AU where Adorabat turns evil, becomes the ruler of the Sky Pirates, then convinces them to kill Snugglemagne and becomes the queen of Pure Heart...she isn't gonna kill Snugglemagne, is she?

What did Adorabat tell Snugglemagne?! I WANNA KNO

Why is Pinky stealing teeth...reminds me of this

NO BC DON'T EAT THE TEETH

"I...hate myself! Therefore, I'm invincible!" So the trick to not getting your ego destroyed...is to not have an ego. Sounds reasonable.

"Your bug platter, my king?" Genderfluid Adorabat rights

"Mao Mao, your head looks like a CROW!" (Mao Mao caws) IT WAS A LIE HE ISN'T A CAT HE WAS A CROW THIS WHOLE TIME-

"It looks like a half-melted ice cream cone!!" That is...a strange way to describe your own neck...

"Well, I'm...bad (◡‿◡)" Kinda weird that the canonically depressed character can't even cleverly insult himself

...why does Adorabat's skin smell like old cantaloupe

OH SHE IS POSSESSED!!

HOLY SHIT MAO WAS GONNA FUCKING MURDER ADORABAT TO SAVE THE KINGDOM?! THANK GOD HE SAW HER JOKE BOOK, HOLY SHIT

Positivity outweighs negativity!

"WHERE DOES A 800 POUND GORILLA SIT?!" "Where ever it wants!◝(⁰▿⁰)◜" Curse you for making me laugh...

OOH NO THE JOKEBOOK! - Wait nvm Mao remembers Adorabat's jokes!

I think the reason they used that joke is because it represents Mao Mao and Adorabat - Adorabat is blue, and she wants to be like Mao Mao, who wears red. What is BLUE, and smells like (is similar to) RED paint?

YAAAY HE BROKE HER FREE FROM MIND CONTROL!! And did BC get Thanos snapped in the background?

"Thank goodness you're alright! We almost..." Fucking murdered you? Yea

"Might we have our crown and kingdom back, yes?"

"Sorry for being such a monster today." "You're a monster everyday." Is that a joke because she was today's villain, a reference to Sleeper Sofa or foreshadowing?

I hope Mao Mao and Badgerclops decide to investigate what's up with the Heart in Season Two, cause I highly doubt they'll let Adorabat getting fucking possessed go under the radar.

The visual gag of Mao trying to stomp out his ice cream cone like a cigarette is perfect. This is peak comedy everyone else go home

WHOOP CHESTER'S ASS GUYS

Strange Bedfellows

"So, your name is Boss Hosstrich, but you're not actually the boss?" How long did it take him to realize that

JFC Mao & Orangusnake are REALLY hellbent on killing each other huh...at least the deputies and the other Sky Pirates have common sense.

Hahaha nice Dragon Ball Z reference - and they both got crushed by the monster! Lovely.

...did Mao seriously think he died and went to heaven?

So does Orangusnake breathe through Tanner or do they both breathe independently & Coby can feel when Tanner can't?

Dang those skeletons remind me of the Steven Universe Future episode Growing Pains. And why is Lucky inside of Orangusnake? "THAT WAS MY LUNCH, JERK!" Ooh that's why.

"They're full of these tiny, little cracks or, as they're known in the medical field, 'whoopsie-boo-boos'." AGSADGASGADGDASG

Damn their skeletons are just gonna freaking evaporate huh...

"The doctor said I was very brave :D"

Ooh shit the Deputies and the other Sky Pirates met at the same elevator, are they gonna fight - nevermind, they're still calling time.

JESUS CHRIST ARE MAO & ORANGUSNAKE EVER GONNA STOP?!

"You don't have the guts!" "I have a million guts." That is...mildly concerning

"Yeah, I wanted to be a baker, before I realized I liked hurting people so much." Then why doesn't she just like, help Muffins or something?

Tbh I thought Ratarang was holding a gun and I'm glad it was just a weirdly wrapped banana

CONE OF SHAME. CONE OF SHAME. CONE OF SHAME.

"Aww, y'all shouldn't have - this is empty." "Just like my heart when you injure yourself!!" He loves him sm...💓💓

"Why didn't you bring me weapons?!" "Because this is a hospital, and I'm a good boy (◡‿◡ )"

"I really feel like this could be a turning point in their relationship." (Mao and Orangusnake proceed to try and kill each other again) *sigh*

Ngl Mao & Orangusnake constantly repeating themselves is getting super annoying.

That hospital bed beeping is giving me flashbacks to all the times I went to the hospital for seizures...

"You know y'all could live like this, like, all the time if you didn't go around hurting people, right?" "Pssh! Tsk-tsk, boy. You know I gots to hurt people." Uhh you guys should really listen to Badgerclops he knows what tf he's talking about

UUhh, whose egg is that? "MAMA" ASGagddahDh

Of course they had to land in freaking CEMENT to realize that maybe they shouldn't kill each other

Did Mao just deflate like a ballo- oh nvm there he go.

Boneless Mao. Boneless Mao.

And Mao saved Orangusnake!! By...breaking every bone in his body somehow.

"I'm the kind of hero who wants to save you so I can fight you later...at the right time and place." Just gonna file this along with the credit score scene from Perfect Couple in the 'Orangumao' folder.

Is Badgerclops duct taping Mao to the stretcher? I mean, at least he won't move & hurt himself again but geez

Tbh Zing would’ve made a better finale than this ep. At least it had a sequel hook
