New Babylon Hellhound // Teaser 02

more from my first draft for Anton's debut story :')

(content warning for murder.. because this is a crime story)

The Museum of History and Science. It's an expensive building, looks a bit like the ancient buildings of the Romans - that's what Anton thinks to himself every time he's here - not that that happens very often.

"Hey, whoa-" A policeman steps forward as the private detective approaches the tape. "Not for civilians."

"Seriously, Benson?" Anton snorts. "You know damn well who I am, asshole." But the policeman doesn't move. He looks at the private investigator in front of him with silent disgust and licks his muzzle.

"Commissioner Viva's orders," he finally says, his lips curling into a smug grin. "No civilians." He stresses the words carefully, hoping to hit a sore spot. He doesn't.

"And what do you call this, hm?" Anton reaches into the inside pocket of his coat and pulls out his wallet, holding up his detective's licence. "If you can read, pooch, I'm not a civilian."

At the word 'pooch', the policeman's neck muscles tense, his fur bristles under his uniform and the top button of his shirt quivers with tension.

"Which one of us is the pooch, huh, hellhound?" he growls, baring his front fangs. "Some detective you are if they don't even want you in the lower circles of hell."

"At least I'm not a crossbreed," Anton replies, leaning forward so that only a few inches separate him from the deer wolf's trembling muzzle. The policeman's growl becomes deeper and throatier, a clear warning; the other wolves begin to watch the two men more closely. Anyone who messes with one of them will have the whole pack on his back.

"That's enough." A sharp voice disperses the crackling tension before it can explode. The wolves' ears twitch back to where Commissioner Viva stands at the top of the stone steps. Her mere presence is enough to bring the pack to its senses and bring a reluctant but obedient calm to her team. "Pinej, to me. You're not going to let us work in peace anway."

Reluctantly, Benson takes a step back and lets Anton slip under the tape. He quickly reaches the top of the stairs, under the stern gaze of Team Wolf.

"Why are you dragging these dogs with you?" Anton asks the Commissioner as she leads him into the museum. "We both know they're not the brightest lights. And with all that stench of blood, their noses are worthless, too." The reception hall is swarming with police officers; the rest of Team Wolf, as well as forensic experts from Police Headquarters, are present and going about their business. Securing evidence, keeping civilians out and looking important in their blue uniforms. Viva doesn't answer right away, but she sighs, knowing he's right.

The large whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling hovers over them like a bad omen - then it hits Anton's nose: The foul stench of rotting flesh and blood. The stench is still faint here, but it hints at how bad it will be in the main exhibition. He won't be allowed to smoke here, not with a commissioner as strict as Viva - so Anton doesn't even have to try. Though as he follows the woman, he fumbles in his coat for the dirty handkerchief that has been stuck in one of his pockets for weeks.

"The mayor insists on having the best noses at the crime scene - you know, for the press," Viva replies, leading him past the colourful souvenir shop and down the central corridor. Her tone is tired and tense, as if she's had a hell of an early morning. "No matter how stupid it is to send a pack of wolves to such a bloody crime scene, damn it. They can barely hold it together as it is…" The snakes in the Medusa-born's hair begin to hiss angrily and Anton takes half a step to the side, out of biting range. The heads snap at him, trying to make room for their frustration; they weren't poisonous, but a bite hurts.

"The director was killed?" he asks. "My source tells me it's not a pretty sight."

"Your source is right," Viva replies as they arrive at the large double doors outside the main exhibition. "Eleanor Marv was tortured, killed and finally hanged post mortem." Before they go in, Viva turns to Anton. Her gaze is firm, but also tinged with concern. "This is going to get ugly," she says. "She was the first pixie to work in such a high position. The press will be on this like flies."

Anton grumbles in agreement. "I read about it in the paper. The first pixie as director of the museum - there were some people who didn't like it. Lots of suspects."

"Hundreds," Viva confirms. "From all walks of life. I reckon somebody paid some poor soul from the Bottle District to make this mess. It wasn't done professionally, more sloppiness than anything else."

The investigator nods in understanding. If someone wanted to remove Mrs Marv from her position, it makes sense to get some poor sod with nothing to lose. That waters down the trail and does the dirty work for you. No wonder Viva brought him right in. This case will end up in the really dirty ditches, Anton can feel it.

"Let's go then." A policeman opens the door for the two investigators and the first breeze from the room hits them with a bitter stench. Anton immediately presses the dirty handkerchief to his face to ward off the worst. But the smell quickly passes through the fibres and settles at the back of his throat, where it remains like a disgusting fuzz.

"How long has she been there?" he asks in a hushed voice.

The room is large; it is an exhibition of the treasures found in an ancient royal tomb in South America. Golden artefacts are displayed in glass cases, with information about their origin written on small cards. The treasure is estimated to be at least 1900 years old, making it one of the oldest artefacts in the museum. It consists of hand-forged plates and cups, hair ornaments and bracelets. They are made of gold and decorated with precious stones; quite pompous and valuable. Then, the main attraction of the exhibition: a set of two daggers, with intricately carved obsidian blades, obviously intended to be wielded by the king. This naturally attracts the crowds, all wanting to see this great treasure. Bathing in the golden glow of the exhibition, which would only be on show for a limited time. But in the middle of this exciting exhibition, hanging by a heavy wire rope around her wrists and neck, was the now former director, Eleanor Marv.

Day 2! Upped 1.1 to 1.5 mph which is absolutely null but I didnt want to overdo it because I have a habit of doing that sort of thing. Saw the Greek god again, he appeared to do pull ups right in front of me eee, I really think he might be from Greece...Mel said theres way hotter but our tastes seem to differ pretty vastly except for Gerry. Eh she agreed Sam V and Ren are "cute and alright but not my type" so I guess Imma give her the benefit of the doubt. Still a lil mad she said that about Barry tho. He called himself a model and a legend on hot ones, scoffing at the title of actor..I agree when he said he doesn't seem like one of them. Probably cause he's an Irish wolf god or something. Mel had the audacity to say something shitty about his eyes! Oh I wanted to say something mean about Benson soooo bad, I didnt, I should've called her a filthy casual that would've hit.

But! I am not being empathetic enough. (If only there was a Naturo like individual to help me.) There is prob a lil envy behind her support. Even though I was helping her dream big looking at Gerrys studio home combo and having other combos discussed. After I explained to her what kickstarter and patreon was, fuck i gotta keep her young is 10 years really that much of a difference??? she expressed she wants to do something, but shes like i dunno all I have is crystals. Why didn't I fucking ask her to film my shit? Why would I trust my ex's sis over my bestie? That bich dont know me and when I vaguely asked if she'd help me film something in time for VDAY she assumed it was for her bro. Yet she couldnt be upfront enough to say I misunderstood no, she had to ghost me and fucking gatekeep really?!?! Sorry that too many people fucking triggers me and you decided to adopt 7 fucking kids. Fuck you hoe. You and his ma shouldn't have given off fucking Lannister vibes the first time we met, weirded me tf out.

I thought of Cat because it was the obvious choice, I wanted quality, this could be my only chance. I'm gonna suggest this next weekend, get a feel for her, she might get super into it. Then maybe I can mute Ren and show her Animal Flow because rewatching things with different povs of what to focus on is fun idc.

Now that I know how Mel feels about Brits idfk how to feel about her to be real. But I also need to lose this complex feeling of I LOVE HIM WHY CANT YOU SEE WHAT I SEE that I have.

I have been trying to be civil with my mom despite the fact that she pimped me out 3 times but the ex was the only one to get some. She actually paid my crush to do yardwork I shit yall not. I'm glad he did a shitty job, I'm actually gonna give him kudos to that...and now that I think of it maybe he was where my aversion to blondes stems from.

I was telling the ex it would be soooo fun, if the closest we can get to the next Eminem also got famous for roasting a mother figure. I swear I have tried to be the bigger person, but this cunt is still turning my grandmother against me. FOR NO REASON!!! BECAUSE I WONT LIVE UNDER HER THUMB. BITCH I AM 31. GET A LIFE!!!!!

Seeing how she handles her spiders I now know if I had any doubt, that I'm only alive because my grandparents mostly raised me...to their credit I don't think they brainwashed me, I think they saw how problematic my ma and her bros turned out and reevaluated themselves.

#moving the fuck on for now.#fuck her man whyyyy is she like this?#i could never see myself being jealous of dorian #...at least she said Dorian sounded happy. does he know who I'm talking to? she asked. uh. no.#why does that fuck with me?#..#why did i suddenly imagine them at our park #domestic shit again itsssss deplorable #i do not know themmmm #siiiighs

Hot Daughter Peeps cont

CHAPTER THREE

Tracy took another long peek. She kept her body hidden, just in case the man turned and looked her way, and her eyes roamed freely. Now she noticed how much hair he had on his legs and chest and pubic area. And she gazed a long time at the way his fist pumped up and down on his rigid cock. It was a big, thick cock.

It's wet, she said to herself. The top of it was all wet. For some unknown reason, that excited her. Her heart beat faster and harder. Blood rushed in her head. She tried to swallow and she almost choked because her throat was suddenly very dry. She licked her lips as she watched the man jerk his prick.

Her left hand rose to her taut young tits and her fingers toyed with her spiking pink nipples. Her right hand slithered down her belly and her fingers delved into her open, wet pussy. Her knees began to shake and she felt weak all over. The mere sight of Mr. Benson pumping his prick was compelling and very disturbing.

"Ohhhh," she breathed hotly, eyes glued and fingers busy.

The tits she was playing with got as hot as the cunt she was rubbing. Then her whole body got warm and Tracy realized that she was horny, like on the bed. So this is what it's like to get turned on, she thought. Is this how Mom feels with that guy?

Her eyes traveled up to Al Benson's face and she blushed again, as if he could see her peeking. It was hard for her to imagine that that huge cock belonged to nice Mr. Benson. Were all cocks that big? Like in the pictures?

She tweaked a nipple and rubbed her clit. Good feelings ran through her. Then she shuddered a little, remembering that this was the man who had been staring at her lately. He had even invited her into his house just the other day. The invitation had frightened her, and now she wondered just what did he want that day.

Would he have done something to her? Would he have kissed her? Touched her? Felt her up? Did he want to see her naked? These questions filled her young mind as she watched him jerk off. They were burning questions for a young girl who was still a virgin.

She actually found herself thinking about visiting him, and the thought alone scared her half to death. What are you thinking about! she chided herself.

But the more she looked at his cock and the more she diddled her pussy, the less frightening was the idea. After all, he was a nice man. And he seemed to think she was very pretty.

But if she went over there, would he do things she didn't want him to do? Would he have to fuck her? What if they just kissed a little and sort of played with each other? Would he do that? He was a nice man. Maybe he'd even lick her pussy.

Tracy's hot thoughts were interrupted when Al Benson stirred a little on the sofa. She ducked her head back with her heart up in her throat again. What if he saw her peeking!

But when she looked again, he was still in the same position, face forward, fist slowly sliding up and down on his massive prick. It was at that moment that Tracy realized he wouldn't look her way at all. Now she saw that he was actually mesmerized by something. Then it dawned on her. Why, he's watching TV!

But what could be on TV that would make him jerk off like that? Burning with curiosity, she pranced into the living room and turned on the television. She searched the channels and found the six o'clock news on a lot of them. The others revealed nothing either.

How strange, she thought, turning the TV off. She walked back into her bedroom with a puzzled look on her pretty face. Her curiosity had to be satisfied. With that goal in mind, she pulled on a pair of tight jeans and slipped a T-shirt over her head. Barefoot and beautiful, she made her way through the kitchen and out the back door.

She stole quietly over the driveway to the ash cans. She stepped up on one and lifted herself up. Crouching low, she peeked over the sill of her neighbor's window. Holding her breath, she peered inside and saw that Mr. Benson was watching a fuck film on his TV.

Her mouth fell open. Her eyes went wide. Of course! He has a VCR! He's watching dirty movies! Oh, wow!

Her bright eyes glued to the TV screen and her heart raced behind her jutting tits as she watched men and women fuck and suck and moan and groan. It was like having a magazine picture come to life. It was exciting! So exciting that Tracy grabbed her crotch and mauled her pussy through her jeans.

That didn't do it for her, so she stuffed her hand down inside the jeans, then her fingers were able to fondle the hell out of her hot cunt. Staring at the horny action, she pressed her tits against the house and scraped her nipples there while she finger-fucked her pussy.

Over-aroused, Tracy lost all inhibitions and girlish reluctance. Impelled by a hot pussy and headful of sex, she jumped down from her peeking position and walked around the house to Al Benson's back door. She knocked.

She felt like a lamb entering a wolf's den, but the hotness of her cunt was stronger than her fear. She knocked again, breathing rapidly.

Al Benson came to the door finally, in his robe. His eyes lit up when he saw Tracy, with her tits protruding in a tight little T-shirt.

"Well, hello, Tracy," he said with a smile. "Hi, Mr. Benson. Could I borrow a cup of sugar?"

"Sure. Come on in."

She entered his kitchen and closed the door behind her. Al went to a cupboard and got a cup, and filled it with sugar.

Tracy had to deliver her message fast: "My mother won't be home until ten and I thought I'd have a cup of tea with sugar in it, but we ran out of sugar."

Al turned and looked at her, a small version of a big girl, shapely and mouth-watering. His cock hardened a little under his robe. He grit his teeth against the insane urge to deck her and rape the hell out of her young body.

"Here's your sugar," he said thickly.

Tracy took the cup in her small hand and set it on the table. She looked up at him with bright blue eyes and said, "I didn't really come over for sugar."

Al's Adam's apple bobbed. He almost choked on his tongue. "You didn't?"

"Then, why..."

Her hot pussy gave wings to her words. "I've seen how you look at me, Mr. Benson, and I know what you're thinking. You're thinking sexy things about me. Huh?"

"Well..."

"You don't have to be embarrassed. It makes me feel pretty, the way you look at me." She flashed him a smile. "And sexy, too. Am I sexy?"

"You're beautiful!" he gasped, afraid to believe his ears. His prick rose up and made a bump in the front of his robe.

Tracy heaved a sigh that made her tits rise up and point sharply. "I peeked in your window," she confessed.

"What? When?"

"Just a little while ago. I saw what you were watching. Can I watch TV with you?"

"Christ!" he groaned, his cock throbbing. "Are you serious?"

"Uh-huh," she smiled, then gave a little giggle that made his prick jump. "But don't get the wrong idea. I mean, I'm not a bad girl. I mean... if I thought you wouldn't..."

"Fuck you?" Al put in boldly.

"Yes. I'm a virgin, and I wouldn't want you to think that I..."

"I won't touch you!" Al blurted hotly. "It would be a pleasure just to have you watch it with me! Come on inside!"

Tracy's head pounded as she perched her cute little ass on Al Benson's sofa. He sat a few feet from her. She kept her eyes on the TV, now showing the news.

"Put it on," she said softly.

"Uhhhh, yeah, sure," Al stammered, still not quite sure what to believe.

He turned the VCR on. The news disappeared, and the fuck film he had been watching filled the screen. He glanced over at pretty Tracy and shook his head as if to clear it of cobwebs.

"Are you sure?"

"Oh, yes," Tracy said. "I was just over there looking at some of my mom's naughty magazines. Then I saw what you were watching and I just had to see it!"

God damn! he thought hotly. And here he had been busting his balls to keep from scaring the kid! What an awakening! Sweet Tracy was a horny little bitch! And a virgin!

Tracy watched her first fuck film with the concentration she had used as a kid on cartoons. The males and females, fucking in rhythm with nice modern music, was enough to make her nipples stand up and her clit tingle. She got antsy after several minutes.

Without looking over at Al -- she was a little afraid to be that bold -- she said, "You can take your robe off if you want to."

"You saw that, too?" he choked.

She didn't say anything, just kept her eyes on the screen and the hot action. Al hesitated for a moment, just until he realized that Tracy actually wanted to see his cock. She was a virgin, he told himself, but she was naturally curious. Why not help the kid out?

He opened his robe and threw it wide. He leaned back and his prick stood up, tall and wet and throbbing. Tracy's eyes struggled to stay on the TV, but Al's naked prick was like a magnet. Her eyes darted over and gazed at him.

"Oh, wow!" she breathed.

Al felt more comfortable with her now. He smiled and slid his fist up and down on his hard-on.

"Is this the first cock you've ever seen?"

Tracy nodded slowly, unable to talk, her eyes glued to his swollen cock. To please her eyes, Al slowly jerked on his prick, displaying it for her edification. Having her look at it made it bigger than ever.

"I've never even seen a boy's," she confessed. Al chuckled lewdly. "So this is your night for sex education, huh?"

"Uh-huh," Tracy laughed. "It's been like that all week. The other afternoon, on the way home from school, I saw two dogs doing it. Then my mom went out, and I found her magazines and..."

"And, what?"

Tracy blushed. "Her vibrator."

"You did, huh? And what did you do with it?"

"I'd better not say," Tracy said. "And then you saw me?"

"Yes. I didn't mean to peek, but... well... I... never saw a man do that."

Al slid his fist up his cockshaft to his cockhead. "Does this excite you?"

"Yes."

"It would feel even better if you did it for me," Al told her.

"Oh, I couldn't!"

"Maybe if I got you in the mood," Al said. "What do you mean?"

"Like that man there. See what he's doing to the woman?"

"He's licking her tits," Tracy reported. "Yes. And I'd like to lick yours."

"And that's all?" Tracy asked fearfully. "Promise," Al said.

The promise did it.

"Okay," Tracy said.

Suddenly she hiked her T-shirt up in front. She bunched it up and held it high above her ripe, jutting, pink-tipped tits.

"Jesus!" Al groaned.

He leaned over to her and licked at her pink nipples with his thick tongue. Tracy whimpered immediately, and fed her tits to him. Al snuggled closer and lapped his hot tongue all over her taut, young tits.

"Oh, wow," Tracy breathed and, feeling safer with the nice man, settled back against the arm of the sofa.

Al caressed her naked ribs and sides and rubbed her tits hornily. Then he took a nipple between his teeth, very gently, and nibbled at her. He gave it a suck and Tracy moaned. Knowing then what the kid liked, he sucked the hell out of both nipples until Tracy was a trembling, moaning little nymph.

His mouth grew very wet on her tits and he licked and sucked to his bean's content. These were the tits he had seen grow day by day, week by week, month by month. Tracy's tits had been on his mind a lot lately.

He kissed, licked and sucked them like he loved them, and Tracy got the full benefit of his passion and adoration.

"Golly," she breathed after a while, "I didn't know it would feel that good..."

Her breath grew hotter by the minute and every once in a while her little ass squirmed on the sofa. Al's mouth was getting to her. Through heavy-lidded eyes, she glanced over at the TV.

"He's not licking her tits any more," she panted.

Al took a look at the guy with his face buried in the woman's bushy cunt.

"No," he said. "He's licking her pussy."

He looked at Tracy... breathing hotly and slumped on his sofa. Her hands had replaced his mouth. She had her tight young tits cupped in both hands, feeling them, fingers toying with her spiking pink nipples. His eyes met hers and an incredible heat arose between them.

Silently, slowly, carefully, he hooked his fingers into her jeans with one hand, and with the other he unzipped her. Tracy took a deep breath and waited.

He eased her jeans downward, below her navel. Tracy swallowed hard, nervously, but lifted her ass up off the sofa so he could take her pants off of her.

He peeled the tight jeans down her curvy young thighs and lovely legs. Tracy kicked a little at them as her excitement mounted. They dropped to the floor and she was splendidly naked from tits to toes.

Her eyes burned into him as her growing passion took over. As if she needed it more than anything else in the world, she slowly spread her cute legs and let Al see all of her horny little pussy.

"Want me to lick it for you?" he asked hotly.

"Yes," Tracy said weakly.

She riveted her eyes to the fuck-scenes on TV and surrendered her cunt to a man's hot tongue. The first lick of his tongue made her gasp. Her hands squeezed tightly on her tits and she stretched her leg farther out on the floor to fully expose her hot cunt.

She panted as Al licked his tongue up and down her cunt-crack, and she mowed when he inserted it between her tight pussy-lips. Al breathed hotly into her pussy-hair and shafted his tongue up into her juicy young cunt-hole. "Oh!" she cried.

Her eyes closed in rapture as the man licked all of his tongue into her cunt. This was the cunt Al had dreamed of. Now he attacked it with his lips and tongue and teeth. He foraged in her young crotch and enjoyed himself immensely. It was the youngest pussy he had ever eaten.

Tracy went crazy on the sofa. Her wildest dreams didn't match this overwhelming reality. Al's tongue drove her out of her mind with lust and need and horniness. She came alive for him, clutched her tits, humped her cunt, and begged for more in her sexual delirium.

"More! More!" she gasped hotly, pushing her pussy up at his mouth. "Ohhhh, Mr. Bensonnnn... that's amazing! Eweee, do more, do more! Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, my pussy's so hot and wet! More, more!"

To her horror, Al suddenly raised his face from her churning cunt.

"Oh!" she squealed. "Don't stop now! I'm gonna cum!"

"Will you suck my cock afterwards?" Al wanted to know. "And make me cum?"

Tracy's eyes went wide on the TV screen. A huge, cock was gushing violently, spitting giant wads of cock-cream.

"You mean... like that?" she gasped. "Yes, like that," Al rasped hotly. It was the first prick Tracy had ever seen shoot. It looked ominous.

Al gave her quivering little clit a nice lick. Tracy's ass jumped.

"Will you?" he prodded.

"I'm gonna cum!" Tracy cried after that lick. "Lick it again!"

"Are you going to suck me off later?" he asked.

Tracy hunched her hips and threw her cunt up at him, horny out of her young mind. She needed his tongue in her pussy if she was going to cum good.

"Yes!" she cried.

"Promise?" Al pressed on.

"Yes, yes, yessss! Oh, please, Mr. Benson. Don't tease me! Suck my pussy! Ohhh, make me cummm! I'll suck you, I'll suck you!"

With that promise, Al attacked her hot crotch again and ate her out. He filled her tight little cunt with his tongue and wiggled it until she came like crazy all over his mouth.

Her fingers clawed at her aching tits and she fucked her pussy on his drilling, plunging tongue. She came wetly, hotly, hornily, and then she knew for herself what those magazines and movies were all about.

I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT KIPO

This is going to be very long, my apologies. I wanted to talk about the reasons I love this show.

1) The soundtrack. Y’all know where I’m at about this. It actively enhances the show.

2) The message of the show.

You know what I find amazing about this show? It’s absolute insistence on the power of LOVE.

In so many kids shows, the protagonist is given a bad guy and they fight it until they find reason to believe that they CAN be good. Kipo refuses to fight at all. She doesn’t wait for someone to prove they have a heart before she stops fighting them. She stops the fight and lets them prove it. Sometimes she even trusts them when they’ve given her no reason to.

As soon as the show starts we’re thrown into a dystopian world with immediately visible conflicts. Not once does Kipo suggest violence or force as an option. She goes for friendship, trust, companionship. Love. And it works. She isn’t ignorant of the situation. She sees it and still actively rejects violence and continues to put trust in everyone.

I’ve been through a lot in my few years. But I still believe kindness and trust is the best, if not only, way to go about something. This is why admire Kipo so much. She didn’t go up to the surface and say everything was perfect. She went up there and saw potential. Potential for the world to be far better than it was and then she actively did her best to get it there.

She looked out to a broken world and said “I’m going fix it with love”

THIS is what I want today’s kids to see. That even if everything’s broken, even if the world is falling apart at the seams, you can always choose to believe. You can always choose to be a good person and nine times out of ten it’ll work. Because we are created to be kind. No one is born evil. No one is born a bad person. If we give them the time and space and the opportunity to be a good person they will almost certainly not fail us.

That not choosing force isn’t a foolish or cowardly option. Kindness requires more power than any other option. In the show you can see her struggle, when no one would blame her for choosing to fight, but she still breathes and says NO. No matter how much everyone around her tells her she needs to fight, she gives her opponents every single opportunity to turn around and be good.

3) The representation

This show made it a HUGE point to make the main cast diverse. The main cast is Black. Song is Korean. There’s LGBTQ+ rep too (you can’t convince me Kipo isn’t bi). Each character is unique with their own flaws and strengths and it makes it so much better.

4) The themes

the show doesn’t shy away from a lot of topics. There are literal turf wars and these characters are implied to still straight up eat each other. And coming to lighter themes, The found family trope is amazing. Also, they COMMUNICATE. This show is short, but think of how long it could’ve been if they used the ridiculous miscommunication trope. Misunderstandings and secrets barely last longer than an episode.

SPOILER WARNING FOR LAST EPISODE UNDER THE CUT

5) The ending

You can’t convince me the ending wasn’t well deserved. Everyone growing up, moving on with life, honoring Hugo. Benson and Troy going on to open a restaurant? Yes please. Wolf getting to enjoy being a kid, adventurous and fun? She’s like 14/15 in that epilogue and so different from the closed off, kinda violent lone survivor. She GREW and started to act her age. Kipo just kinda became a total badass.

Yes, the “cured” characters didn’t get turned back, But I think that in itself is important. You can’t just reverse the damage of attempted genocide. But you can move on. There was time to grieve their losses and make sure they were remembered. Then they came back stronger than before, with new respect for each other.

New age lets go discover, this life is full of wonder

Note

Fandom: Kipo, Ship: Merlin/Arthur, Character: Flora Reinhold, Crossover: My Hero Academia and Mob Pyscho 100, 5 characters: Tony Stark, Captain Marvel, Thor, Black Widow and Captain America

Kipo

Favorite character: Scarlemagne! I can't express how much I expected to not like him and then he became my fave character.

Least Favorite character: That creepy goop child thing stuck in that building.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): In a shocking plot twist, I don't think I have 5 ships for this series :0

Character I find most attractive: There wasn't really anyone I was attracted to in this series tbh. I guess Roberto was pretty?

Character I would marry: Roberto. I'm Troy's new dad now.

Character I would be best friends with: Dave haha

a random thought: Wolf deserved a spin-off movie and it's a crime that she hasn't got one.

An unpopular opinion: Okay, ready the pitchforks here, but I... actually kinda thought that Wolf and Kipo's dynamic would've worked well if it had been presented as romantic instead? Like, I love all the canon wlw ships, but I feel like so far there hasn't been one that I've personally connected to or been able to get super invested in. But if Wolf and Kipo had been a ship, then that would've become a hardcore fave for me. Though I feel bad about this, since the series made it clear that wasn't how we were supposed to view these two characters. I'm sorry sob

my canon OTP: Benson/Troy

Non-canon OTP: Dave/Jamack

most badass character: Wolf ofc

pairing I am not a fan of: Can't think of any

character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I wouldn't say "screwed up" because I love everything about this series, but I kept waiting for Jamack to be a bigger deal than he was

favourite friendship: Benson & Dave

character I want to adopt or be adopted by: NOT KIPO'S PARENTS THAT'S FOR SURE

Merlin/Arthur

when or if I started shipping it: Literally years before I actually watched the show.

my thoughts: Their dynamic is what carries an already entertaining show. Every time these two are on screen together it's wonderful. They have that perfect balance of genuine feelings, drama, humour and suffering. Like, I struggle to think of another dynamic that's as engaging as Merlin and Arthur are in this series, full stop.

What makes me happy about them: Canon

What makes me sad about them: Canon

things done in fanfic that annoys me: I haven't read any fanfics, so I can't really comment, but if there's Gwen-bashing, then I'm not about that.

things I look for in fanfic: Not really a shippy thing, but I genuinely want to read a post-epilogue fic where old!Merlin wakes up Arthur and then drags him along on his wacky adventures.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I like shipping them both with Gwen and with all of the knights.

My happily ever after for them: Nah, I'm not gonna mess with the perfectly messed up ending they got. No happy ending this time.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Arthur would be the big spoon if he could just tell Merlin that he wants to be.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Insulting each other.

Flora Reinhold

How I feel about this character: Flora is fine. And that's about it? I feel bad that the writers treated her badly in every game after the first one, but I also don't have very strong feelings about her, if I'm completely honest.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I don't have any ships for Flora. I used to crackship Flora & Arianna, so maybe that.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Flora & being around people who don't ditch her.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I genuinely don't think they planned anything for Flora beyond the first game. The ending being her leaving the village was a nice gesture, but then it kinda feels like the writers were stuck with her and didn't know what to do with her. Which might be why they kept coming up with excuses to write her out, but I'm just guessing here.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: That she'd been treated more respectfully when she had gone with Layton or, alternately, that she'd stayed at the village and became an awesome robot mechanic with Bruno.

my het ship: None

my fem/slash ship: Kinda Flora/Arianna?

my OTP: None

my OT3: None

a head cannon fact: Flora is living her best life post-series and is too busy to be involved in whatever's going on in LMJ.

My Hero Academia & Mob Psycho 100

004 | send me 2 fandoms and I will give yo my crossover OTP Okay, so the easy answer would be saying that Reigen is one of All Might's many ex-lovers. But I'm raising the bar: ...Reigen x Aizawa! Imagine how annoying Aizawa would find Reigen. I'm here for that.

MCU

005 | send me 5 characters and I will rank them in order of preference 1. THOR!! king of my heart! 2. Captain Marvel! Also excellent! (then there's a very, very long drop) 3. Black Widow. She's fine and I haven't seen her movie yet, I just don't care that much. 4. Captain Christian. He exists. (another looooong drop) 5. Literally a sack of shit deserves to be ranked higher on this list than Tonal Stark does tbh u_u

#thank you these were a lot of fun!!#*Talking #*Kipo #*BBC Merlin #*Professor Layton #*My Hero Academia #*Mob Psycho 100 #*Marvel #long post

Reacting To: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (Season 2 Episode 8)

Episode Title: Sympathy for the Mandrill

Spoiler Warning: Kindly proceed if you’ve already seen the episode or are able to handle spoilers.

1. Just going off on what the title says, I immediately knew we are going to get Scarlemagne’s backstory as Hugo. From the flashback (once again), Hugo was one of the few remaining animals that hasn’t transformed into a mute yet. So, Dr. Emilia wants Song and Lio to experiment different formulas on him to figure out what’s causing the animals to mutate.

2. Young Hugo is really cute I must say. Both the Oaks are feeling uncomfortable with the idea of having to feed Hugo with the formula even more but they don’t really have a choice. Eventually, some years have passed and Hugo had already grown up. And he’s now able to say his own name:

3. It’s weird seeing Scarlemagne like this lol. But once again, the Oaks aren’t down on telling Dr. Emilia anything and it seems like they were going to hide the fact that the formula has finally worked.

4. Back to the present day; Dr. Emilia is going over her plan with the others to save the humans from Scarlemagne and notices that Kipo isn’t there. Luckily, Benson is able to cover for her whilst she’s away. Dr. Emilia buys it and she entrusts him, Wolf and Dave to sneak their way to underneath his palace to steal a nectar bomb.

5. Next, we see Kipo and Lio, who isn’t mind-controlled anymore having a meal together? Weird but okay. Scarlemagne is trying to butter Kipo up by treating her as his “guest of honor”. But of course, he does have some precautions in place, just in case Kipo starts turning into a Mega Jaguar. Scarlemagne tells Kipo that he wants her to stand by his side while he gets crowned as ruler of the new city of Aurum to show the other mutes he has total reign of everything and everyone.

6. Kipo tries to remind him of his past as Hugo but Scarlemagne goes on to tell her what really happened; We shift things over to the flashback again and Hugo, who is inspired by a book about King Louis the Beloved, tells Lio and Song that he wants to be king too. I guess that was what made him obsessed with the whole idea of being king and having Nobles in old-fashioned garments.

7. Because of the Oaks’ plan to keep him a secret, Scarlemagne does feel pretty down and isolated despite having his own ambitions. He starts to play the piano in his room and sings a nice song about the situation he’s in. And that’s probably where his musical talent/obsession stems from lol. However, things turn into a nose dive when Dr. Emilia shows up all of a sudden. How did she manage to get her way into their apartment?

8. Dr. Emilia then confronts Lio and Song and asks them to hand over the specific formula that contained the mutagen, which had mutated Hugo. They give her an excuse by saying that they gave him 3 different formulas that day and there was probably a reaction.

9. Dr. Emilia doesn’t buy this and she orders Zane to inject one of the formulas into Hugo. Hugo gets nervous and starts sweating to which a few of his sweat droplets accidentally get into contact with Zane’s face, mind-controlling him in the process. Ahh, so that’s when his pheromones were first discovered. So many revelations! What’s next? Are we going to get the origins of when he started to call himself “Scarlemagne”?

10. Dr. Emilia notices all of this and it seems like she has a plan to utilize his pheromones. Due to this encounter, Hugo now knows the scientists’ plan to turn the mutes back into animals. But Lio and Song reassure him that they don’t agree with that plan anymore and promise to him that they will break him out and escape their burrow once Kipo is born.

11. We shift things over to Benson, Wolf and Dave’s mission to steal the nectar bomb; They manage to find the bottle fairly easily but one of the Nobles approaches them. Dave panics and eats the bottle. *facepalm.

12. As expected, Dr. Emilia had been manifesting more of the pheromones by cruelly forcing Hugo to sweat by making him run on a treadmill. Lio sees this and tells Dr. Emilia off but she won’t listen. Lio secretly reminds Hugo of their promise to escape once Kipo is born. It’s safe to say that they didn’t come back for him I think.

13. And it’s because, based on the flashbacks we’ve seen previously, Lio had already escaped with Kipo and Song had just turned into a Mega Monkey after falling off the balcony. But we shall see if Lio had made any attempt to find Hugo or not. We also find out that Dr. Emilia had sprayed his pheromones on Song and that’s why she was able to control her for so long. Even Scarlemagne didn’t know about this until now.

14. Well, Scarlemagne isn’t gonna turn good anytime soon because he still resents the fact that Lio had pretty much abandoned him. Also, he had to survive on the surface world all by himself and that had definitely scarred him (no pun intended). Eventually, he was able to seek proper shelter at a palace (now Scarlemagne’s Court) and that was also when he first met Lemieux and the others. I think that’s them? They were punk-rockers back then lol.

15. However, they weren’t so friendly then and one of them proceeds to attack Hugo. But as we all know, his secret weapon is his pheromones and he manages to use them to win the fight. This impresses the other primate mutes and so, he’s welcomed to the group.

16. Back to Dave and the nectar bomb he just swallowed; He’s having a rough time walking over some cracks in the ground because he’s afraid of falling, which will cause the nectar bomb to explode. Why can’t Benson or Wolf carry him?

17. In the flashback, we see a pack of mute wolfs surrounding Lio outside an observatory. This gives the primate mutes the idea to loot the place whilst they’re distracted. Hugo notices that it’s Lio and he’s carrying baby Kipo in his arms. They happily reunite at first but Hugo realizes that baby Kipo is wrapped with his old blanket, which causes him to be upset at Lio. I gotta say; I feel sorry for Hugo because I think Lio did abandon him and didn’t try hard enough (if not, at all) to find him. But then again, he did lose Song at the same time and so, I can’t really blame him for dropping the ball.

18. Feeling rejected, Hugo tries to steal Kipo away from Lio but Lio notices something’s off with him and pushes him to the ground and runs away. Scarlemagne, who is now overcome with emotion starts laughing maniacally and this is pretty much where his hatred towards humans had gone over the edge. I feel so bad for Hugo but that doesn’t excuse all the bad things he did as Scarlemagne eventually. Side note: I have a feeling that Scarlemagne still has that torn piece of his old blanket with him.

19. Because of this newfound person he had become, he decides to make himself the leader of the primate mutes and that’s when Hugo is no-longer and Scarlemagne had emerged.

20. After hearing this story, Kipo expresses her disappointment towards her dad for abandoning Scarlemagne/Hugo. She even hugs him because she feels sorry for him. It really warms my heart to see her hug him like that with him just standing there and taking it. I wonder if Scarlemagne is gonna turn “good” by the end of this season?

21. Dave’s stomach starts grumbling and so, Benson and Wolf take cover, expecting for the nectar bomb to explode but fortunately it doesn’t because he only molted. His molting continues on but Benson and Wolf are able to grab the bottle before it is too late. The episode ends with the three of them being able to break into the palace to rescue Kipo. Also, by that time, she and Lio had already made their amends.

22. This was a great episode; The backstory of Scarlemagne as Hugo was so tragic but so good. Like I said, I don’t completely blame Lio for abandoning Scarlemagne back then but it was a pretty sh**y thing for him to do nevertheless. Stay tuned tomorrow for my review of episode 9. Thanks for all your likes and support. Bye!

On Season 3

Ok so I’m trying to figure out what to say about season 3 first because I’m filled with a lot of thoughts and feelings right now. It was simultaneously not as bad as I feared and still very disappointing. While there were several really great things that it gave us (mute kids, Dave and benson backstory, wolf and scarl bonding, etc), i also feel it fell far short of the first two seasons narratively. Much of it just doesn’t make sense in the context of the world and characters established in the first two seasons.

The most important thing I think was missing from season three is season-long character arc. Seasons 1 and 2 were largely driven by the personal arcs of the recurring characters of each season (Kipo, Wolf, Benson, Dave, Jamack in 1, Scarl in 2, Lio and Song retroactively in 2).

Season 3 lacks this force. The closest we get to it is a rushed and rather hollow ending to Scarlemagne’s season two arc. No one else fundamentally changes from the beginning of the season to the end. Kipo’s philosophy is challenged mid season but is restored in the same episode. Wolf has to spend time with Margot again, but because she’s already done her found family and community belonging arcs in the prior seasons this encounter doesn’t do anything but bring up old trauma- and then there’s no resolution anyway because Wolf doesn’t even know what happens to Margot afterwards. The closest Benson gets to an arc is asking Troy to PRAHM, but they’re already dating and went through the confidence building part of that in season 2 (and again this only spanned one episode, which doesn’t compare to the first two seasons). Dave doesn’t change. Lio and Song don’t change (song coming back doesn’t count, it’s the Who part that matters, not the body). Jamack doesn’t change because his decision not to help Kipo has just been handwaved away. We get backstory for Emilia (which wasn’t necessary) that didn’t develop her in any meaningful way.

The only sort of changes are among background characters who are mostly props for the primary characters to play off of. While the arcs of background characters are important and have always been critical to the show, without arcs for the primary characters the show doesn’t have the same heart and power that it had in seasons 1 and 2.

I don’t want this to come across as me saying I’m done with Kipo because I’m absolutely not, all I’ve done for the last two days is scream about it, and I plan to keep going for the foreseeable future. I still love this world and these characters. I think they deserved a better end to their story. As always, when canon disappoints, it just means we should make it our own.

Kipo Season 3 (and overall) Review • Everything I Could Ask for and More

So, I binged Kipo s3 yesterday and now I'm going to write a review for it because I have thoughts and I need to put them somewhere.

Also, please take everything I saw with a pinch of salt because I am neither a professional reviewer nor a person who can put her arguments in a calm and rational way and this is my first post like this so guess we'll see how that'll go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

MAJOR spoilers under the cut!

Okay so I'm going to start screaming about the small things:

SINGING FRUNCLE JAMACK

DOAG AND THE KPOP NARWHALS QHAJSHAHAHSH WE STAN AND WE STAN HARD

WOLF AND LIO BONDING, SCARLEMAGNE AND WOLF BONDING, JAMACK AND TROY BONDING AND SO MANY MORE, ALL OF THEM WERE GEMS THEMSELVES

TROYSON IS CANON KING BABY 🏳️‍🌈🎊🎉

AND EVERYONE WAS SO CHILL ABOUT IT

DO I EVEN NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING SOUNDTRACK??????

WOLF ACTING LIKE A MATHS TEACHER AND THE LUNCH LADY AND BENSON PRETENDING TO BE HER CLASSMATE WAS THE PUREST THING EVER SSHDCCHIS WE STANNNN

I think as a fandom, we collectively hate Emilia but HER PROM OUTFIT- 😳😳😳 big gay moment

"LIL BREEZY" I'M---

Anyway since I've calmed about the smaller things, now moving on to the actual meal:

This is going to be kind of an unpopular opinion I think, but Emilia did not deserve a redemption (thank god she didn't get it). I feel like the characters who deserve a redemption arc are the characters who realize they messed up, acknowledge their flaws and actively try to be better. Emilia, on the other hand, realizes she was wrong; but she does not try to be better. Quite the opposite actually, she tries to harm and kill Kipo and her friends even in her last moments. And there's something else: she's been given too many second chances. If she really tried to be better, she had SO MANY opportunities to prove that she wanted to change and didn't want to be the bad guy anymore! But she didn't, and she got what she deserved.

Speaking of redemptions, let's look at Scarlemagne. I feel like where he differentiates from Emilia is the fact that he did want to change and he did want to show everyone that he's terribly sorry for it. We can see him trying; he bonds with Wolf, the children, Kipo, Song and Lio... you can feel that he actually regrets his actions. He--with Kipo's help--is finally forgiven. And though I was incredibly sad because he died, I feel like it was such a bittersweet death. He died for the sister he so desperately wanted to kill once upon a time, and I feel like it's such a heartbreaking ending. In the epilogue, we see that Kipo and the gang named a school after him: "Hugo Oak Academy". Bonus points for that extra dagger in the heart.

Another point I want to make about Scarlemagne and his character is the message that he gives in the end. In the beginning of the show, he was this ruthless dictator who got what he wanted by using brute force and let his anger at the Oaks and his endless thirst for power control him. But after the season 2 finale, he saw what he has actually done both mutes and humans altogether was nothing more than harm. And as season 3 progressed further and further we see that he's genuinely trying to redeem himself and be a better person and fought by his sister's (who he was actively trying to kill). "Even the worst people can change if they genuinely try and try hard enough." <- I feel like the message that the writers were giving with Scarlemagne was this and it was such a sad yet powerful way to give that. Kudos.

Let's look at our lead cast and their character developments now because it has been such a joy to see how each of them developed into their better selves. Kipo has gone from this clueless girl who could barely look out for herself and to this absolutely badass girl who can do amazing speeches and looks out for both herself and the people who's dear to her heart. Wolf went from this girl who lets her paranoia get in front of the things she wants to do and is very pushy towards people because she doesn't know how to trust them to a person who knows how to be vulnerable as well as being strong and doesn't let her emotions control her--but rather guide her into making rational choices. Benson was just here to guide Kipo and Wolf to Kipo' burrow. Now, he's one of their closest friends and a protective brother to them.

Anyway this has been WAY LONGER than my average posts, but if you read my ramblings all the way to the end, thank you so much for reading!!

Kipo season 3

That was a good season, i liked it far more that the second one. Which wasn’t bad at all. It’s also interesting how from the start this story was planned for only three seasons, as a closed thing with (rather) no possibilities for continuing or stretching it to be longer. Of course i would like to have more of Kipo, but this is really nice. (:

First, the thing that annoyed me the most - what it is with americans and proms?! Fucking prom!!! Just, get that thing far away from me. At least it could be just a ball if they really needed to throw a party. Ok, i’m guessing that there’s a slight chance that proms are shown in popculture as a Very Important Events and in real life people aren’t so obsessed with them, but it’s still annyoing.

But this whole prom is a part of a bigger problem for me, but it’s not really a problem of this show, but how i see this. I think. So. Everytime when a mute was turned into a normal animal it hurted. It’s not like i was attached to every one of them, but there was something very wrong about this whole vaccine thing. It felt like murder. And it’s probably this show metaphor for murder i guess, but because it’s still for kids creators couldn’t show this in a more crude way. Like, these animals are still there, we’re seeing them alive and fine, and even if other characters mourned them or are still crying after them, the vaccinated ones are under a good care. But. They’re not these characters anymore. Their minds and self-awareness we’re taken from them. They’re not here anymore. They’re gone. Yeah, it’s just like... weird way of murder. And then show turns around and is like “ayyy, there’s no murder and murder attempt that a good party can’t fix”. Idk how to feel about that. :/

I also liked Hugo way more than before, althought i don’t think that it was necessary for him to die. But oh well. It was just the best when he and Wolf made this little team up, and i like how when Kipo was trying to made him to apologize to other mutes, he was just snarky and not cooperating and smashing everything, and finally drop that behavior and attitude when confronted with children. I can’t really put that into words, but i find it really fitting that Hugo backed down when a child started to crying. I also really liked this moment when he get a grand piano and was playing piano version of Yumyan Hammerpaw, and of course that he don’t know this song and it was purely creators choice to make him play that, because Kipo and the rest we’re back and Yumyan was vaccined and turned into silly kitty and then i recognized that Hugo was playing his song and i tear up a little and oh god that was sooo saaad. But on the more funny side of Hugo - oh wow, how much he was offended by banjo and food. Good shit.

Dave also was better in this season. Before his stupidity was more or less annyoing but in this season he came back to again being incredibly funny. And his story how he was fighting for 200 years over a plastic fan with a clan of dweebs? At first i was wondering how much of this he was making up, but then it get really interesting. There was a whole bunch of Daves? He was there when all this apocalypse started? He’s IMMORTAL?! Like, of course he is, but i’ve never before thought about this, so it was kinda shocking. But no, he’s not fully immortal, only for like 99,9%, you just need to know one Special Move to finish Dave for good. This is so funny. xD But, if Benson came from clan of dweebs, does this makes him oficially a dweeb forever or he grown up from that? Also, i can buy and accept that when Kipo is changing betweeen human and mega jaguar forms she keeps her clothes untouched, ok, yeah, why not, but i absolutely do not believe that a cheap plastic fan would work for full 200 years. Nuh uh.

Being and adult is truly something else, huh? I was chuckling like mad when Lio and Dave had their little bros adventure, because yeah, you miss that point when you should go to sleep and it’s over for you.

Dubstep bees are The Best. Talking through dubstep is also The Best. And it’s not just poison ivy, it’s killing ivy. And holy shit, they killed all those crabs in a very icky way and then they eat them? And wolves we’re talking very causally who they eaten recently? Shit, humour in those few episodes was sometimes kinda gruesome, huh? And how much scientific facts we learned about cats this season, amazing!

Emilia ended up with Fun Gus. Well. Holy shit. I feel that with her nasty attitude that baby is going get angry with her and completely overstrain her very fast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s also amazing how creators decided that Emilias evilness had no excuses. Yeah, she got these vile ideas from her dad, who was pretty scary, angry and intimidating and yes, she wanted him to be proud of her, but, she wasn’t really scared of him, it didn’t looked like she was in any danger. Her brother turned up to be a cool dude. But Emilia went from “i’m going to find a way for humans to be able to live on the surface again, just like everyone else in my colony” to “murder is okay” on her own. No one put her in a situation with no choice, she wasn’t scared or regretted what she did. There was a chance for her to chose between living beside mutes and going on a war with them, and she made a choice to be evil absoulety on her own. No one brainwashed or groomed her to be that way. Fuck her.

I was a little disappointed that the skin that Wolf was wearing didn’t belonged to that one wolf girl that was her friend. But oh well, it’s not a big deal. On the other hand, Wolf had one of my most favourites scenes in this season.

Song is back and she almost immediately get to work, which means much much math to do, and Kipo is there to support her mom and she just starts chanting and Wolf joins in with full enthusiasm and they’re both just yelling “mom! mom! mom!”, and Kipo is like “having a mom is as amazing as i imagined it” and Wolf just smiles and is like “yea”, because of course that having a mom is amazing. And dad. And sister. And two brothers. A whole family. And there wasn’t some big revelation moment for Wolf, that she’s not alone anymore, and no one said it out loud, and there was no tears. It just happened and Wolf just accepted that and is perfectly happy. Because yea, it is amazing. I’m so happy for her.

Willy the White Wolf

The thumping rhythm and jilted melodies of trashy electronic music droned on throughout the Velvet Tango Bar. Lights hanging from the ceiling cast the large room in a warm orange hue, littered with islands of glowing smartphone displays.

A bunch of thirty-something nobodies stood in clusters of small cliques, far enough apart in the dive to not hear the exact words of each other’s conversations, but still too close for Alethea’s comfort.

Alethea sipped from her bottle of cheap beer. Danielle and Rhiannon were late, so she stood alone at a tall table. She had not expected to see so many people attending the Evergreen High reunion and to be gathered here the night before the actual party. Then again, there were few other options for recreation outside of the sleazy bowling alley in this backwater town. But she had not come here for the reunion party. She had come here because of the letter from her dead friend Harry.

And she had come to this bar because of another such letter. The one she had found in their secret place under the bridge. One that read, “Someone will die in the shower room tomorrow night. You have to stop this.”

Adding to her discomfort of standing alone, she could not help but feel like Lucas Cooke and Bradley Mills, those two goons, were shooting glances at her from across the bar’s room this entire time. While the two former jocks of the White Wolf team nursed their drinks over some dialogue inaudible to Alethea, she wished more than ever for the ability to read lips.

She almost spilled some of her freshly opened bottle when someone started talking right behind her.

“Look who’s come back to our neck o’ the woods.”

Alethea turned to look Alice Brock in her weary eyes. The former cheerleader of the White Wolves looked like she was ten years older than her peers; a puffy face with a road map of wrinkles, both products of an overindulgence in alcoholic beverages.

Alice looked Alethea up and down.

“Damn, Allie, you look like you might’ve made somethin’ outta yourself, huh?”

Alethea put her beer down and forced herself to smile in return.

“Hi Alice,” she finally replied. Her voice cracked in the process, betraying her lack of interest in small talk.

“Heard you’re a big journalist now. You gonna write a piece on our town? Dig up some of the old stories like Butcher Benson’s murders? Or those silly UFO sightings?” There was something strange in how Alice pronounced certain words—not like she didn’t know how to pronounce them, but like she was pronouncing them wrong on purpose.

Alice’s expression remained listless and blank the entire time.

“Yeah, no. Just here for the,” Alethea said, her words trailing off. She pondered her lie. “The reunion party.”

She tried to maintain a friendly mien throughout, but instantly and mentally scolded herself for doing so instead of slipping into her poker face. She knew exactly what kind of hideous grimace she always cracked whenever she lied.

“Right,” Alice said, the word drawling out with dripping sarcasm. “Well, good for you for making it big. Not like those assholes over there.”

Alice smiled at Lucas and Bradley, but there was something sinister in it because of the words she added next, “Two dipshits who’re just one bad day away from becoming the next serial killers of our lovely state of Maine, or something.”

Alethea tried not to look over at the two men and just swallowed emptily, keeping focused on Alice’s face.

“You know, you and the rest of the losers club—”

“Fuck off,” Alethea snapped.

Alice stopped in the middle of whatever she had been about to say. The weary air about her had vanished, her eyes gone wide with surprise as she now stared at Alethea.

“Jeeze, sorry. I was just about to say, that you, Danielle, Ryan, and Harry—God bless his soul—you were the ones who turned out alright in the end, I guess? Joke’s on us? We were always giving you shit and calling you the ‘losers club’ and now look at us. Most of us hardly made it out of this county, let alone this town.”

Alethea sighed and swallowed another comment. She picked up her phone to check the time. Rhiannon and Danielle were now almost forty minutes late. Not even the heavy snow fall was an excuse for that, given how small the town of Evergreen was.

Alice had truly changed and Alethea was almost warming up to her as their conversation went on. But she could not help but feel watched. She almost regretted it when she shot another glance over to Lucas and Bradley.

Still staring at her. Creeps.

Seeing Brad smack his lips after downing a shot of liquor almost made her feel sick.

Alethea sighed again and realized that Alice was still talking, muffled by a combination of the background music in the bar and her own mind drifting to the letter from her dead friend, Harry, as well as the urgency of needing to see her friends who had returned to the town for the same reason. She was starting to feel dizzy and needed to get out, even if just for a moment.

“Excuse me, Alice? I—I need to use the restroom. If you see Danielle or Rhiannon, can you tell them I’ll be right back?”

Alice just blinked and stared at her. Probably dumbfounded that Alethea was ignoring her somewhat and kind of bossing her around. It dawned on Alethea that their roles from back in their high school days had been reversed; that Alice used to be the snot who never listened to her.

“Yeah, sure.”

The cool air from the corridors outside the bar’s main room swept over Alethea’s skin like a fresh breeze and she almost immediately felt better.

She stopped in the hallway, almost feeling a migraine coming on from the glaringly bright light pouring from the fluorescent tubes lining the ceiling. They flickered for a second, adding an eerie atmosphere to the snow-white Willy the White Wolf mascot costume standing in the corner. A sign hung from its neck, reading, “Come see the whole White Wolves team of ‘05 at the Evergreen Reunion Party!”

There was obviously nobody in the suit, but its dead empty eyes stared back at Alethea and sent shivers down her spine.

She shook off the weird feeling it had given her and she continued on into the restrooms. The door opening sounded oddly loud. Her own footsteps echoed just as much, reverberating painfully in her own head. Her temples throbbed. The door swung shut behind her and she looked at herself in the mirror for a split second, noting the black rings under her eyes, before heading into one of the stalls.

Nobody else in here.

She flipped down the toilet’s seat and locked herself in the stall, taking a deep breath before sitting down. The smell of cleaning chemicals and the myriads of comments, numbers, and lewd jokes scrawled onto the inside walls and door of the stall assaulted her senses.

She exhaled sharply and produced a joint from her purse. Clamping down on it between her lips, she then started digging around in her pocket book for her storm lighter. The other objects in her purse clicked and clattered about and she uttered a curse over how impractical this stupid bag was—like that the slot for her phone was too small for it.

The women’s room door opened. Loudly, just as when she had entered. The joint almost fell from her mouth as she stopped rooting around in her purse, frozen in the spot.

Then the restroom door’s hydraulic arm automatically shut the door again.

Footsteps thundered through the room. Not small shoes, but heavy. Big. Wide soles, she just knew it, even without seeing them.

Wham.

The loud noise startled her. Someone had swung open a stall door, two stalls down from hers, letting it slam into the wall.

WHAM.

Again, now one stall closer. A shadow broke the light through the cracks in between the thin walls of the bathroom stalls and their doors.

A pair of heavy black boots thumped down in front of the door of her stall. She had almost expected a pair of those fuzzy cartoonish feet of the mascot costume from outside in the halls, but, no—a pair of heavy black work boots, matching the sounds they made.

They had stopped there. Waiting.

She held her breath. Her mind raced, reeling with all the terrible possibilities. A million thoughts a second. Still she held her breath, instinctively without even thinking about that, just hoping to be ignored. To think that this had nothing to do with her. That nothing had anything to do with her.

Her heart pounded. So loudly, that she wondered if the man outside the stall could hear it.

She knew it was a man. There was something so menacing about this presence that, in her mind, it had to be a man.

Her hand trembled like a leaf in the wind as she grabbed the joint from her mouth and stuffed it back into her purse. That caused some fabric and objects in there to rustle and then clink.

Someone slammed into the door to her stall and she gasped, only narrowly masking a shriek.

“Fuck off, I have a gun,” she said. Or yelled. Or she wanted to yell, but she said it instead. Her voice trembled more than her hands and even she felt unconvinced by her own lie.

The person outside her stall shuffled their feet. Those heavy boots stepped away, then walked away. The restroom door opened and this person left again.

The fear refused to subside, and Alethea’s heart continued to pound like crazy, so hard that it almost seemed like it was trying to explode.

She allowed herself to breathe again, straining to listen; to see—to know—if anybody else was in there. Letting time pass. Seconds that felt like minutes, minutes that felt like eternity. Hoping that this person—whoever it was—was long gone whenever she dared to open the door to her stall again.

Alethea clambered on top of the toilet seat and peered over the edges of the stall’s walls. There was nobody else in the women’s room. She hopped down, exited the stall, and approached the door.

Then stopped.

Her heart continued to drum to the tune of terror. She grabbed her phone and flicked its display so she could take a picture, hoping that she might blind any assailant with the flash, or fool them into thinking she was holding pepper spray or a taser—if the worst came to pass.

The marathon of thoughts racing through her mind played through a thousand scenarios in which she escaped an assault or was overpowered by some creep and she finally had built up enough courage to leave.

She leaned out the opened door and peered into the corridors. Nobody there.

With hasty steps, she took her leave.

And stopped dead in her tracks again.

The mascot costume of Willy the White Wolf was missing. The sign still read, “Come see the whole White Wolf team of ‘05 at the Evergreen Reunion Party!” But it was now on the ground, with a big dark shoe print from a heavy work boot stamped on it.

Alethea’s heart skipped a beat and she nearly dropped her phone when she whipped it around to call Danielle.

The call went straight to voice mail and she spoke into the merciless void of it while she craned her neck and looked around each corner with the expectation of running into a possible assailant.

“Uh, to hell with the bar. I think someone’s out to get me here. Let’s meet at our safe place where we always used to get high. If I don’t show up there in thirty minutes, call the cops.”

Alethea hung up.

With hurried steps, she half-jogged out of the place, descending a flight of stairs and exiting into the cold wintry night, into flurries of fluffy white flakes silently falling down and adding to the feet of snow piling up outdoors. The cold wet powder crunched underneath her shoes and the lack of traction on the bottom of her sneakers almost made her slip and fall as she rushed across the parking lot, though she caught herself mid-stride and continued on.

She then remembered that she hadn’t even paid the friendly bartender, Cobbs, for the beer she had bought, but whispered some more profanities to still her mind and say that she would pay for it some other time. After all, she had an honest, legitimate excuse to have gotten the hell out of there.

Still, it caused her to second-guess her actions and turn. For just one moment.

A moment that made her see a figure in the doorway of the Velvet Tango Bar. Standing against the blinding glare of the fluorescent light was the silhouette of Willy the White Wolf in all his goofy glory. But he held a fire axe in one hand, letting it droop down by his side, the axe’s head resting on the ground beside him.

The hairs on the back of her neck stood up and she remembered the faceless psychopath who had chased her down the hallways of the Lakeview hotel, wearing nothing but a horse’s head. She still felt the injuries on her back that he had inflicted with his improvised weapon before she escaped his wrath.

Willy took a step towards her. The head of the fire axe dragged along the floor, its metal scraping against concrete as he descended the three steps onto the parking lot with a CLANK, CLANK, CLANK. Then he stopped again, staring at her through those dead, hollow eyes of the mascot costume’s stupid cartoonish head.

Gasping for air, Alethea ran. She wanted to scream, but could not.

The snow crunched underneath her feet, and she stumbled and slipped and slid forth, only barely able to see behind her as she fled and never felt bold enough to stop and look back at her pursuer.

But she knew for sure: Willy followed, lumbering, head flopping ridiculously, the axe now gripped in both of his freakishly over-sized three-fingered hands.

Alethea scrambled to escape through the narrows between houses and onto the street, where a car would have run her over had it not been rolling along at a snail’s pace due to the thick layer of snow on the town’s roads. She winced at the blinding glare of its headlights shining into her face and she yelled at the driver for help.

It took moments for everything to sink in—for her to make sense of the situation. Rhiannon and Danielle had gotten out of the driver’s and passenger’s seats, respectively, and called out to her.

“Christ, Allie, are you alright?” asked Danielle.

Willy the White Wolf—or rather, the creep disguised as the mascot—had stopped chasing her, probably once he had seen her run into other people—into witnesses.

The figure of Willy was absent. Alethea stared into the darkness between the street lights, where shadows swallowed everything and the snow devoured every sound.

Every sound but Danielle’s voice, pleading with Alethea to answer her and tell her what was going on. But the rushing of blood in Alethea’s ears, her heart racing with a million beats a minute, she could barely hear it. It all sounded so far away. She just wanted to know where her pursuer was.

The darkness had taken Willy. Her assailant was nowhere to be seen.

All that remained were the tracks she had left behind.

And the big tracks of Willy’s costume, leading out into the woods nearby.

Just a thought...

Okay so … bear with me for a second (probably longer than that) because I've been having thoughts …

For those of you who don't follow me on Twitter, I posted a thread about possible SVU 'end game' set ups (if any) that Warren Leight will begin to include for the new season. Let me explain:

I was scrolling through my google feed and saw this article which had recently been posted on the blog TV Series Finale where they quoted WL saying, "Look: I assume that if some year, some decade, couple decades from now, we get to the last SVU, [Meloni] would have to come back before we do the last episode or before the show signs off."

And in a lot of ways, he's right. As much as we enjoy delving into ALL of the characters' lives, Olivia Benson is the protagonist of the show. In s1, e1, Olivia was still new to SVU (though I don't believe it was ever explicitly stated how new she was) and we were immersed in the world right along with her, experiencing every new case and meeting every new character through her perspective. Her experiences with Stabler (albeit sometimes pretty toxic) shaped her throughout the series even after he was gone.

When Warren Leight became showrunner in s13, he doubled down on our already strong connection with Olivia and allowed us to experience Stabler's departure with the character. To simply not even try to include Stabler in mind for 'end game' storylines would never allow for Olivia to gain closure on a significant part of her career at SVU. Let me clarify-- in absolutely no universe do I think that a Benson/Stabler (a Bensler?) pairing is a good idea. It would be a step back in Olivia's growth as a character if she ended up with Elliot at the end of the show's run. I actually also have theories with respect to Olivia's personal life, but that's for another time and only if you guys are interested.

My point is that in a way, any ending that doesn't at the very least have mention of Stabler in some capacity might not be as satisfactory as one that allowed Olivia (and by extension, a large number of viewers) to get closure with regard to the ambiguity we were left with when s13 started and no Stabler. If you guys remember, it was announced in May 2011 that Meloni wouldn't be coming back to SVU. The first episode of s13 aired September of 2011, but even though we knew he wouldn't be back, some of us wondered how the new showrunner (slash new head writer) would handle his departure. Especially because Hargitay was only set to appear in less than half the episodes of the season.

And, personally, I didn't know what to expect, but I was worried that, whoever the new showrunner guy was, he didn't overlook the significance of Stabler in our protagonist's journey. He didn't let me down. The way he handled that character's send-off by allowing us to experience it through Olivia's point of view grew that character in a way we hadn't seen since her first batch of Simon episodes. Stabler was a huge part of her journey (and ours) at SVU. It's been eight years since Stabler left, which is a long time, but considering the show has been on for coming on twenty-one years, Stabler was a main player for more than half of it's run up to this point.

In the article I mentioned at the beginning of this post, Leight went on to add, "It would be tricky, because it’s now been eight years since the characters were seen together. So how’d they get in touch? We haven’t seen it. Where has he been? How do you explain that? There are storytelling challenges to it."

There are definitely storytelling challenges, but good ole WL has proven (at least to me) on more than one occasion that if anyone could do it and do it well, it's him. He took over characters that had twelve years of history and development and managed to write them in character consistently and he storyline choices were not only smart, but they brought us so much closer to the entire ensemble. He added new characters, some that came and went, some that stayed a short while, some that stayed a long while and that have become part of the family, all while keeping our OGs characterization in tact. He gave all the characters--existing and new--depth and showed them as more than just the detectives who catch bad guys.

And yeah, WL didn't get it perfect every single time. During his years as showrunner, there were MANY storylines and arcs that could have should have been done better, but there were also many storylines that developed our characters and had the best balance between personal stories and the cases being handled.

As far as I know, Meloni has no intentions of coming back, but there's no telling how long SVU will be on air and things could change for him at some point. Dick Wolf has stated multiple times that he would continue to do the show as long as Mariska wants to do it and I don't see Mariska bowing out until she either is planning to retire or planning to begin a new venture of some kind and continuing her advocacy. But being the lead on the now record-breaking drama on primetime gives her a huge platform, so that may not be for some time. But I wondered if WL will start to drop Stabler references here and there to keep the option open for CM to come back for an episode or two at the end. To be honest, all of the OGs should be involved with the final episodes somehow imo. I think it would be a nice way for it to end, whenever that may be.

What do you guys think? Can you see WL dropping subtle build up to a possible Stabler return?

SSTP: Chapter 4

“Benson, do you think she’s okay?” Kipo asked, looking into the distance.

“She was on her own for years, I think she’s fine. She knows what she’s doing,” Benson reassured her.

They sat outside their tree, looking at the scattered beams of sunlight lighting up the ground as the sun rose high in the sky. Her leg stung slightly whenever she walked, but it was stitched and as long as she wasn’t reckless it would be fine. Without any more information until Wolf came back, and everyone on edge from the attack, they were given a break to not be around the war table. Kipo couldn’t help but worry about Wolf, since she was used to being next to her almost all the time. She wanted to talk about anything to distract herself. She tapped her fingers and then her eyes lit up when she thought of something.

“Hey Benson,” she flashed a wicked grin. “How are you and Troy doing?”

“W- How would I know? I don’t know.”

“Aren’t you dating?” Kipo asked, leaning back against the tree.

“Are we? I don’t know how dating works! This is the first time I’ve had someone like me back! Do we have to go on a date first? Do we have to actually kiss first? Do we have to have-”

“Guys!” Wolf came running towards them, her legs moving so fast they were a blur.

“Wolf!” Kipo jumped up and ran towards her, Benson in tow. “Are you okay? Did they see you?”

“Yes, no, and this is worse than we thought! Go get everyone, this is really bad.” They both nodded in unison and split up, leaving Wolf alone.

Wolf walked to Yumyan’s tower, sitting on the floor while she waited for the rest to arrive.

Emilia wasn’t going to succeed in her plans, they couldn’t let her. Killing the Timbercats? The racoons? Her and her friends if they got in the way? Killing Kipo? She wouldn’t let that happen. That was out of the question.

“What did you discover?” Yumyan bellowed. Wolf waited for everyone to gather around before speaking.

“Emilia’s plan is worse than we thought. She wants to kill all speaking mutes.”

“What? No, no, she wanted to turn them into animals,” Lio said in disbelief. Wolf shook her head.

“She wants to turn back mutes like Mandu and Pierre. Mutes like you Timbercats, the Umlat Snakes, the Mod Frogs, and so on, she’s decided that you need to die. She said that you can’t be turned back because you won’t let it happen. And Kipo,” she took a shaky breath. “She said that you were unpredictable, a threat and that you needed to be killed.”

The room was quiet for a few seconds. Wolf refused to look up from the table. Nobody knew what to say. Kipo stood in shock, unable to find words to speak at all. Yumyan and Molly had unreadable expressions, but their eyes were cold. Lio looked as shocked as Kipo did, but unlike Kipo his eyes were full of anger.

“The Helix Burrow had a set goal, and our goal was to revert mutes to animals. Hugo was what made Song and I realize what we were doing was wrong. Hugo was also made Emilia become so power-hungry. Thirteen years later I think she’s forgotten what our goal was in the first place. She sees mutes as a threat. And she wants to be in charge of everything. If you thought Scarlemange was bad, Emilia would be ten times worse on top.”

“I’m not a threat,” Kipo whispered. “I would never hurt anybody.” Lio pulled her into a hug.

“We know, Kipo. So does anyone who has ever met you. Emilia is using fearmongering to make humans follow her, and then using force on anyone who disobeys her just like she did to your mom.” Kipo shook her head and frowned with determined eyes.

“We have to warn everyone,” she said. “We need to split into pairs. Me and Wolf can go to the Umlat Snakes and then I can go to the Newton Wolves.”

“We can go to the Newton Wolves,” Wolf mumbled.

“Dave, Benson, you guys can go to the Racoons and Scooter Skunks. Afterwards, we’ll meet back up and go to the Hummingbombers and Mod Frogs.”

“I can go to those two. I made this mess so I have to fix it,” Lio said grimly.

“If the dad-io is going, I’ll go with him so that he has someone who knows his way. I’ve been on the topside for over two-hundred years so he’ll be safe with me.” Dave patted his chest a few times.

“If you’re going with Mr Oak, I’ll go with Benson. I want to see the surface a bit more and the buddy system doesn’t work if someone goes by themself.” Kipo nodded.

“So, tomorrow morning we go,” Kipo declared. Yumyan bared his fangs in a grin.

“Kipo, summoner of the Mega-Jaguar, taking charge as a general. I’m like a proud sire.”

“I think I’m the proud father,” Lio said.

“Well, I have taken these humans under my paw. So, I am. Anyways, council dismissed!” Yumyan slammed his fist on the table.

Kipo seemed dejected, her eyes dim and a frown on her face. Wolf matched her pace as they walked.

“Kipo…”

“I don’t understand, Wolf. I’m not dangerous,” she sighed. Wolf placed a hand on her arm.

“I know. But it’s like your dad said. She wants control over everyone.” Kipo shook her head.

“You know, you don’t have to come with me to the Newton Wolves. I know that stresses you out.” Wolf shrugged.

“Like Troy said, the buddy system doesn’t work when someone goes by themself.” Wolf smiled kindly. Kipo weakly returned it and then looked in front of them.

“Benson!” she called. Benson turned and waved.

“Hey, Kipo! How are you doing with all this new information?” he asked.

“It’s… It’s a lot. But I can handle it! How are you doing with the change in travel plans?”

Well I-I it’s cool! It’s nice! It’s a lot of responsibility because I don’t want Troy to get hurt so that’ll be stressful.”

“Welcome to my world,” Wolf deadpanned. Kipo looked at her.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I’ve been protecting you since I found you,” Wolf laughed. Kipo rolled her eyes.

“I can fight for yourself,” she scoffed.

“I’d rather not take chances,” Wolf said. Benson grinned.

“Come on Wolf, just admit it.”

“No.”

“Admit what?” Kipo asked.

“Don’t worry about it,” Wolf said, glaring at Benson.

“Timbercats! It’s Flapjack Tuesday!”

“Crap! I gotta go! See ya!” Benson took off running.

“Yeah, don’t be late for your cooking date!” Wolf yelled after him. “Come on, we don’t want to waste time today since we should leave at sunrise if we want to arrive at Umlat Territory at dusk.”

“What is up with you and dusk?”

“Stealth is your friend,” she said blandly.

2015: The Bearding Timeline (pt. 1)

Newbies were freaking out last week because of the picture on Josh’s Instagram. As bas as it was, it wasn’t nearly as bad as 2015. I wasn’t in the Kaylor fandom in 2015, but I was following Taylor at the time, so I had a good idea of the stunt in 2015 before I did my research. So here is the timeline of Taylor’s and Karlie’s bearding in 2015. Pictures are linked on words and dates (should I add them?).

Remember that Kissgate was in December 2014 and that everything in 2015 is the consequence of that event. Calvin Harris was Taylor’s 'boyfriend’ for 15 months. Joshua Kushner has been Karlie’s 'boyfriend’ since 2012.

I excluded all likes about Tayvin by Taylor, Josh’s comments on Karlie’s Instagram posts (he commented a lot of 🍉), The Kloss’ likes, Taylor’s likes on Calvin’s Instagram and vice versa, and same for Karlie and Josh.

I don’t particularly like talking about Josh for reasons, but I felt like this was needed for anyone who wasn’t there in 2015. I should say that I won’t call Calvin or Josh any names or assume their sexuality here. That doesn’t mean that I like Calvin. On the contrary, I dislike him for various things but calling him names, for me, is unnecessary.

January 3: Karlie posts a picture of Josh on Instagram of their trip in NY.

January 4: Karlie posts a picture of Josh on Instagram of their trip in NY.

January 26: Karlie posts a picture of Josh on Instagram.

February 3: Karlie posts a video taken by Josh on Instagram. The video was identical to one that Josh posted in 2014.

February 14: Karlie posts a picture on Instagram for Valentine’s day with Josh in it.

February 15: Karlie promotes Oscar Health on Instagram.

February 24: Taylor meets Calvin at the Elle Style Awards in London. Ellie Goulding stated months later that she played matchmaker for them.

February 25: Taylor talks with Calvin and Mick Jagger at the 2015 Brits in London.

March 6: On their one year anniversary, Taylor makes it very clear that March 6 is their anniversary, just days after Calvin breaks up with Aarika Wolfe.

March 22: Josh posts a picture of him and Karlie at a wedding on Instagram.

March 25: Taylor and Calvin are spotted in Nashville by fans wearing matching outfits. There aren’t any paps in Nashville, so Taylor usually relies on fans to take pictures.

March 26: Taylor goes to Kenny Chesney concert in Nashville with Clavin Tree and Calvin’s manager.

April 2: Taylor and Calvin go to Haim’s concert in WH. Taylor basically sits on his lap while they both look really bored. Taylor usually dances/sings at concerts, but she didn’t look that happy there.

April 14: Calvin is photographed leaving Taylor’s LA house. Taylor, nor her friends, have ever been seen leaving her LA house, so why with Calvin. It’s also a private property where paps aren’t allowed to camp out.

April 18: Karlie and Josh go to Coachella together.

April 19: Karlie posts a picture of her and Josh at Coachella on Instagram.

April 24: Josh is at Karlie’s Karlie Kloss x Frame Denim Meet and Greet in NYC.

May 17: Taylor and Calvin attend the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. They go full out with PDA and are later called out for it.

May 26: Taylor and Calvin go on a date in NYC.

May 28: Taylor, Calvin and Ed Sheeran eat at The Spotted Pig in NYC. Pictures from that date are proof that their relationships PR. As Taylor and Calvin walked out of the restaurant hand in hand, they unclasped their hands seconds after the paps took pictures and Calvin would have pushed her inside the car if there weren’t any paps. Karlie is seen for the first time arriving at Taylor’s apartment in 2015. Gigi Hadid and Calvin are also there and the picture for Karlie’s 23rd birthday that Taylor posted was taken there.

May 29: Calvin is photographed leaving Taylor’s apartment.

June 7: Karlie and Josh go grocery shopping after hiking.

June 8: Gigi posts a picture of her, Calvin and Karlie in Taylor’s kitchen for the National Best Friend Day (but she barely knows him yet uses a picture with him).

June 10: Taylor posts the “Swan goals” picture. This is the first picture she has of her ‘boyfriend’ on her SM, but she said in 2014 that her next relationship would be kept private. Also, most likely a latergram (and her hair is completely dry).

June 29: Calvin attends Taylor’s concert in Dublin.

June 30: Calvin attends Taylor’s concert in Dublin.

July 1: Taylor and Calvin eat lunch together in RI. Taylor has to rely on fans to take pictures.

July 2: Calvin posts a picture of Taylor with the caption “She cooks too” which is sexist (but Tayvins failed to point that out).

July 3: Taylor decides to celebrate the Fourth of July on the Third of July to get pictures of her and Calvin because Calvin has a show on the fourth.

July 9: Karlie posts a picture taken by Josh and Josh posts a picture of his and Karlie’s feet a day before Karlie goes to Taylor’s concert.

July 17: Calvin says in an interview “For me it could be a lot worse, and I'd still be, like, insanely happy with her so I'm good with it”, but in most pictures of them together, he doesn’t look happy. “There’s a hold bunch of times where we’ve been hanging out and nobody’s clocked it. It’s not like every single time we go out, we get a photograph taken of us” which is the opposite of their highly Instagrammed relationship.

July 18: Taylor tries to tell people that Calvin is her prince Charming and Calvin attends Taylor’s concert in Chicago.

July 19: Josh posts a picture of Karlie in Rome.

August 1: Karlie and Josh are photographed in NYC. Here’s a post talking about it.

Josh also takes the opportunity to use the watermelon in his caption for his birthday post. Karlie comments on Josh’s post with ❤️😍❤️ (she also comments on a fan’s post for her with Thank you so much @swiftkloss ❤️😍❤️ xxxx).

August 11: Calvin ‘catsits’ Taylor’s cats while she goes to a party.

November 15: Karlie and Lorde attend Satuday Night Live’s afterparty. Josh is pictured there.

November 16: Taylor posts a picture on Instagram of Olivia Benson with Mariska Hargitay’s Moon Man and an hour later she edits the caption and adds “photocredit: @calvinharris”.

December 13: Taylor doesn’t celebrate her birthday, but she does go to a birthday party for Apple streaming’s head’s daughter with Calvin. She and Calvin are the only celebrities photographed there.

December 21: Josh posts a picture of Karlie on Instagram a day after the 1989 World Tour Live is released.

December 23: Calvin goes to see her in Colorado and they try to make it look like he’s spending Christmas with her by posting pictures on Instagram, but the dates don’t line up.

December 24: Taylor posts a picture of her and Calvin on Instagram.

December 27-31: Karlie goes to St-Barths and tries to make it seem like Josh was there with her.

December 31: Taylor, Ruby Rose, and the Haim sisters go to Calvin’s set in LV for the countdown.

Well that sums up most of the bearding in 2015. A reminder for newbies that 2015 was the worst year for Kaylor. You know what they say, couples that beard together, stay together.

For info about all of Tayvin and Joshlie: Tayv!n the PR Stunt Masterpost, The PR Stunt, and Little Bits of Information.

Just to conclude Tayvin, they broke up in early June 2016. Josh and Karlie are still together (see Josh’s Instagram). If there are any questions about them, my inbox is open. Don’t think that Kaylor is not real because of Josh, there are many reasons why they are bearding together, so do not have doubts when it comes to Josh. Coachella (April 14-16 & 21-23) is soon and they usually go together, so we should expect some pics there (hopefully they’ll skip this year). They haven’t been following their past patterns and have been doing minimal interactions in 2017 (snow pic, the watermelon pic, and the Turks & Caicos pics).

For more: 2016: The Bearding Timeline (pt. 2), 2017: The Bearding Timeline (pt. 3).

Some other posts I have that include Taylor’s PR relationship: Swifthaal Timeline TaCo Timeline

If I missed anything, message me.

Reacting To: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (Season 3 Episode 10)

This is it people! The series finale of Kipo; Let’s get to it.

Episode Title: Age of Wonderbeasts

Spoiler Warning: Kindly proceed if you’ve already seen the episode or are able to handle spoilers

Hopefully she’s getting dressed for her funeral lol

1. Continuing on from last episode, the fireworks rigged with the cure goes off and a bunch of embers start falling from the sky. One of the Humming Bombers got into contact with one of them while attempting to flee and immediately de-mutes. I thought the cure needed to go into their bloodstream? Unless, the ember actually burned through their skin. It that’s the case, wow that’s dark....

It’s awesome that Earl and Lily are helping Molly since Molly saved their children awhile back.

2. With her quick thinking, Kipo asks everyone to find shelter underneath her as she transforms into her Mega Jaguar form. However, that’s still not enough to protect everyone but luckily, the good humans step up to shield them with table cloths, which was heartwarming to see.

The mutes are thanking the humans for their act of kindness

OMG. Lio and Song hugging Scarlemagne? I’m here for it.

3. Thankfully, the fireworks ended and Kipo then pleads with Emilia one last time to stop what she’s doing. Emilia, hard-headed as ever isn’t one to back down at all and makes a drastic decision to inject herself with the mutagen she sourced from the Mega Walrus, transforming herself into one ugly Mega Mute.

Imagine seeing this in real life...shudders

4. I thought she was going to use the Mega Walrus’s DNA to make another cure that would affect Kipo. I didn’t think she would do this to herself. Kipo transforms back to her Mega form to take on Emilia before she could potentially hurt anyone.

How many Troyson kisses do we want? Yes...hehe

5. Troy and Benson are directing everyone back to find safety inside the old burrow while Wolf joins Kipo to assist her in battling Emilia. Kipo has the upper hand at first because Emilia isn’t used to being a Mega Mute. However, as the fight progresses, Emilia is starting to get better and is landing some solid hits on Kipo. But I feel like Kipo shouldn’t be losing to Emilia since she has much more experience fighting as a Mega. I guess they want us to feel like the stakes are high.

Man, this fight is actually pretty brutal. Emilia is whooping major jaguar ass here.

6. During the battle, Wolf notices Greta nearby and thinks that she has the cure to turn back Emilia into a human. So, hopefully they can steal the cure from Greta and use it as leverage to get Emilia to stop. They split up with Wolf going after Greta and Kipo continuing to fight off Emilia.

7. After taking a couple more punches, we see three of the Mega Dogs, the Mega Pigeon and the Mega Beaver heading their way towards the fight, with Jamack, Molly, Hoag, Amy, Zane, Label, Lio, Song, Scarlemagne, Dave, Benson and Mandu riding on them. I stan such supportive friends!

8. They each take turns kicking Emilia’s butt to buy Kipo some time to recover. Side note: It’s so cool that Jamack tells Emilia to do some “soul searching”! That’s literally the same line Kipo used on Jamack in Season 1 when he was an antagonist back then. During all of this, we see Emilia beginning to have some inner turmoil; It looks like she’s starting to lose herself in her current form.

9. We get to round 2 of Wolf vs Greta and it looks like the tables might turn in favor of Wolf but Greta is just too beefy for her to take on. While being held down in a pin, Wolf tries to butter her up with words by telling her that she’s not an idiot and she can think for herself, without the influence of Emilia. She also bribes her with all the pancakes she can eat if she hands over the cure to her and just like that, she agrees to hand it over. It’s so ironic that Greta is one of Emilia’s last followers but she’s so easily influenced to switch sides.

Again, I don’t get why Kipo is losing to Emilia so badly

10. Kipo is down for the count and Emilia turns her attention to her friends/family. As she’s about to crush Lio and Song, Kipo charges in last minute to take the devastating blow for them; She then falls unconscious. However, Emilia’s not done yet.

Scarlemagne’s death in 3...2...1

11. Oh no...here we go. Scarlemagne decides to play hero by making his attempt at saving Kipo. He basically gives his swan song to Lio and Song. I have a bad feeling he’s going to die and I’m not at all prepared to watch. He takes off on his favorite Flamingo vehicle from Season 1 and 2 and flies towards Emilia to distract her.

We haven’t heard this laugh in ages. Also, did anyone get chills when he tells Emilia to “leave her sister alone”?

12. He crashes his vehicle into Emilia causing her to lose focus and it sets off her ‘losing herself to the mega mute’ phase. This in turn, causes Scarlemagne to crash land somewhere in Skyscraper Ridge. Was it necessary for him to crash like that? If that’s the way he goes out, I’m gonna be honest here and say I would be very disappointed with that.

13. Emilia, who clearly is out of it runs off somewhere and Kipo, Wolf, Dave, Benson and Mandu all go after her with Lio and Song heading towards where Hugo/Scarlemagne crash landed. We then see the artistic representation of Emilia losing her mind to the mute, where her human form is quickly sinking deeper and deeper into the ocean.

14. They catch up to Emilia and they could see her being distraught. We also know the reason why she’s this way and it’s because she doesn’t have an anchor. I love it how whatever explanation we’re being told by the characters is something that the audience should know based on past episodes. Now that’s good storytelling.

15. Anyways, Kipo makes the decision to cure her because she thinks she doesn’t deserve to be punished this way. Really now? After all that she’s done? Maybe what Kipo means is that she deserves get whopped in her human form lol. After curing her, Kipo makes ANOTHER ATTEMPT (for the 3rd time) to convince her to make a change but of course this bitch isn’t going to change; She takes a shard of glass and tries to stab Kipo:

16. But our girl, Mandu quickly reacts and bites Emilia’s arm. She then loses her balance and falls stories high in the exact burrow her lab was located because we then see Fun Gus capturing her and taking her in as her “playdate”. Emilia is basically history.

17. Yesss! And this punishment is fitting since she will probably be Fun Gus’s plaything till she goes insane and dies. Not to mention she despises mutes. So, it’s a great way for her to go out. Bye!!! That’s what you get for killing your brother, you heartless monster. Can I also point out that once again, Mandu is the one to take out Emilia. She did beat her in season 2 when Wolf, Dave and Benson couldn’t and now in season 3, she’s the one to finish the job. Don’t mess with Mandu lol.

18. They head back to find where Scarlemagne, Lio and Song are but it’s almost too late because Hugo is dying. Kipo is in tears and I’m in tears too. Again, was it really necessary to kill him off? I felt like he’s more or less already redeemed as a character before this. He didn’t have to commit such a heroic act, which had cost his life. Ugh....And just like that, Hugo dies.....UGHHHHHH. I really don’t think he needed to die. If Catra (who committed just as many heinous acts, if not more than Hugo) got to live in She-Ra & The Princesses of Power, Hugo deserves to live too. I’m sorry...

19. Now it’s time for the epilogue set 5 years later, as told by an older Kipo. Let’s break it down:

Wolf’s Mega Corgi gave birth to a litter of puppies. Awww cuteness...

Wolf let her hair grow out and she looks AMAZING!!! Dayummmm

Benson and Troy own a successful restaurant together and they’re living the dream. Such domestic goals!

I got chills seeing Wolf and Benson walking side by side like that. They’ve grown up so much. It looks like they’re own their way to a picnic

Label and Zane is also running a gym together. Sweet!

Jamack is conductor for Las Vistas’s new transport system.

Dave is now a guest lecturer at what is seems to be Lio and Song’s new research lab, where he talks about some of his research findings and theories. Well, mostly theories.

I love Kipo’s new do’

20. We find out that Kipo is updating Hugo (spiritually) what has everybody been up to on his birthday.

Hugo gets a statue made in his honor, which is very fitting and Mandu...WOW MANDU has grown into an ADULT boar, with tusks and everything just like Bornak and Webber.

21. Kipo meets up with her besties and her family and they have their wonderful picnic in commemoration of Hugo’s birthday.

22. The scene cuts off to all of them having the time of their life riding on their Mega mutes. And that’s the official ending to the series. TEARS...

23. This has been an amazing show to watch, react and review. I can’t believe it only had 30 episodes but the story was so cohesive and felt complete on the most part. So you could say that this show wrapped up nicely. There are some loose ends that weren’t addressed/resolved at the end like the vaccine that Song and Lio were working on but I guess that could be something that’s explored further in future films hopefully.

24. I will also be making a couple of video essays that will be posted to my YouTube channel, PeterSaidWhat; The first one will be my full spoiler review of the final season and the second video will be Troyson-focused. I can’t wait for all of you to watch them. And finally, I want to thank you all for reading my episodic reviews and going on this incredible journey with me. It’s been a pleasure to have Kipo be a part of my life and I’m sure yours as well.

Much love,

Peter
