I love your Sector V middle/high school hcs. Can you make one for their TND years? Keep it up!❤️❤️❤️

sector v if they had joined TND

au in which nigel did join the gknd, and abby took over as sector v’s leader yippee abby!!!

omg yes !!! my first request :000 u are so sweet thank you!!! 💚💚 i love writing these so enjoy :>

- i hc that numbuh 362 is in on the recruitment process when it comes to the TND, she is supreme leader after all. she learns all about it after nigel leaves

- and because i hc that after nigel, hoagie is the oldest, he absolutely GEEKS OUT when he is recruited. he fangirls the ENTIRE TIME

- and because he has to stay away from the tree house, the group will meet in different spots every time

- in canon they all are aware that the TND exists so, it wasn’t really a secret that they were going to be part of that recruitment. after all it was promised that sector v would still be there for nigel once he returned! it’s pretty obvious that numbuhs 2 through 5 aren’t gonna be let go so easily :P

- and they’re all always like tell us tell us ! and he keeps them on their toes

- like he goes on and on “HA i’m special i’m the first recruitment in this sector my lips are sealed i don’t even know u guys!!!!” drama queen 😒

- eventually when they all are recruited they are like wtf it wasn’t even that special of a thing whyd you gas us up like that LOL

- because the old treehouse WAS on top of nigel’s house, i headcanon that a new sector doesn’t take over it. and it just becomes a lot smaller and secluded, like on the outside it looks like a regular shed and a small old tree house, when there’s SO much more. it’s an underground type of thing

- rachel makes it seem like it’s a tribute to sector v to cover for them (shoutout to rachel fr!!!) because it still is significant for everyone , even if the entire sector was “decommissioned”

- but nope that baby is still there for the new TND members. just no where near as visible as it once was. the secrecy i know!!!

- and yeah the renovations were SUPER annoying (wally must have complained about his lack of sleep 100 times bc of all the noise) but it was worth it in the end. the treehouse becomes a little more modern and comfortable for them to do their own things. and the technology only becomes more advanced

- and they get older our babies😢the maturing takes everyone by surprise kind of, especially wally’s, ugh he gets a growth spurt in the summer leading up to freshman year and it leaves everyone saying wtf. but they do have their flare ups of childishness bc let’s be honest, we know them, how could they not!! cue the bickering between wally and kuki plz!

- wally finds a passion for soccer and he’s really good at it. he’s missed a few team meetings bc of soccer though…. which always results in a lecture from abby LOL but they all go to support him at his games

- at his important games, they all make signs cheering him on, and omg does this annoy him LOOLL

- they all even wear his team’s colors, kuki buys face paint to paint his jersey number on their cheeks. she’s probably his biggest fan 🤫

- kuki finds this love for makeup , “typical girly teen behavior!” wally will tease, but she’s actually really good at it!

- sometimes in mid mission kuki will have the most glittery-colorful eyeshadow on because she was practicing before the call!😭

- hoagie let’s her practice a lot on him, and i would be lying if i said he hasn’t shown up in battle with some variation of eyeliner on

- and when abby wants her makeup done for any reason, kuki is the first to be there!

- sure the team doesn’t go on as many missions as they did before , but the missions they DO go on are usually long and exhausting. the break they get after is always treasured by our lazy teens

- abby gets super into skin care and just self care overall! she will have the entire day off after a mission as a self care day. and kuki will always join her! even the boys get curious but don’t wanna admit that😒

- one day they cave and they all watch a movie wearing their face masks. cute !!! i just know wally had the face mask that you peel off and that shit IRKED HIM😭 kuki pinned his hair back and they had a moment but it’s ruined after when she tries to rip off his face mask LMFAO

- hoagie joins the auto mechanics club in highschool. and wow is he talented with that. it only helps him further develop technology for the TND. oh and when that boy gets his license ? he does the MOST with his beat up van😭

- i would not be shocked if that boy installed a whole ass xbox in the back of that van

- these 4 ditch class a LOT for missions . they have occasional saturday-detentions 😞

- and even then because kuki, hoagie, and abby, are such loved students they find a way out. the hard part of that is convincing the teacher to let wally out LMFAOO

- tell me how they get called in for battle mid-saturday detention and kuki fakes a scene to leave

- her doing theatre throughout all of middle school and even highschool PAYS OFF this girl starts sobbing on the floor like someone just died😭so the teacher has no other choice but to let the four go

abby: guys wtf i just got a text from maurice. we need to be up at base in the next hour

wally: don’t ask me this dick won’t even let me go use the bathroom

abby: wally boy if u don’t stop making ur texting so obvious right now

hoagie: he won’t leave the room, there’s no way i can create a diversion

kuki: watch this! :D

- this girl screams and pretends that she just got the worst news of her life. and oh my god her fake crying? you would actually believe it if she said the world was ending

- in middle school these 4 were awful with keeping the TND a secret 😭 i just know they would screw up all of their different excuses

- why wasn’t hoagie in class? well he said that he was in the nurses office. oh but the nurse didn’t see him? and wasn’t that just him walking down the hallway with abby lincoln? but she got picked up early today? and why is kuki sanban trying to leave the nurses office after complaining that she threw up? she said that she was looking for her friend wally because they were carpooling home today. but where is wallabee? his teacher said he got called to the office 2 hours ago??????

- but once highschool comes the whole sneaking out thing gets a lot easier when it’s needed. hoagie gets his license first and wow he can just dip whenever he wants to. and in highschool, u can sneak off anywhere. especially with as big as a campus as Gallagher High. everyone ditches class at some point 🤷🏼‍♀️

- even these 4 get the urge to ditch when things aren’t mission related. senior year, they are OUT god does the senioritis kick in with them 😭 especially wally and kuki, those lovebirds. that boy will find any and all reasons to leave early. and he’s passing all of his classes, what’s stopping him tbh

- like the 4 plan a theme park day on a random wednesday in the middle of the month 😭 i’m telling you, they have their fun when they can

- with the workload they have on them because of the TND, this group enjoys whatever time they can have :) especially with one another

NEW FANFICTION UP ON WATTPAD

This one is a little different. I've always included sensitive topics in my fanfiction because mental health issues should be portrayed more in ways that aren't harmful. However, this one is much more touchy and dives into losing a friend to mental health struggles at a young age. I'm crossing my fingers that this doesn't get across the wrong message - I don't intend to glorify the issues. I also don't intend on triggering anyone, so please read the warnings at the beginning of the fic first. I really hope you guys like it... I'm always nervous posting these because I worry you guys will hate my writing lol.

Here's the drawing I made for the cover:

#codename kids next door #codename knd #knd #fanfic covers #knd fic #tw suicide #tw self harm #numbuh 1 #numbuh 2 #numbuh 3 #numbuh 4 #numbuh 5

**DELICIOUS- In Sector V…-

Chapter 1: A Sweet Treat Trip In Abigail aka Numbah 5's bedroom in HQ Numbah 5 was talking to one of her friends and her sweet treats Candy club her friend was telling her about something extraordinary while on a trip in Europe " I'm telling ya Numbah 5 it was the most delicious Lollipop I ever had and the chocolate caramel melts in your mouth the moment it hits your tongue made me feel guilty of eating them every time because how beautiful they were it was just too cute to eat!" Abby nodded in wonder “And where did ya gain those candies?” She inquired. Her friend on the other line caught her breath from the excitement " Well from what I remembered it's located in a village called Dewberry Moore can't remember the name of the shop but I remember it having a sign hanging a teacup full of sweets and flowers it's at the end of the village by a forest." Explaining as Abby took down notes “Dewberry Moore. Shop with a sign; teacup. Full of sweets and flowers. By a forest…. Got it.” Once you got the directions and coordinates it was then that Numbah 2 and 3 came in and see what Numbah 5 was up to and if she wanted to come hang out with them at the arcade. “Heyyyy, Abby. Up for the arcade?” Hoagie, AKA Numbuh 2 came and asked. "Sorry, y'all Numbah 5 is gonna pass that as I'm going on a little trip to Europe I heard about this new candy Shoppe from one of my friends from the club and they say it's nothing like any kind of candy they ever tasted and I'm curious to find out." She replied with a grin “Oh! Additional task~!” Kuki, AKA. Numbuh 3, giggled. Abigail giggled "Hey y'all wanna come? It's a rare opportunity to try this kind of candy what's say?" Abigail giggles "Hey y'all wanna come? It's a rare opportunity to try this kind of candy whatta say?" And indeed it was an opportunity Hoagie and Kuki wouldn't want to miss. “We’re in~!” Hoagie grinned. "YAY let's get some Candy~!" Cheered Kuki, In a matter of 30 minutes they were packed and set in the nearest ship taking off to the unique candy store's location “To estimate, we could get there in…. 30 minutes with high speed.” Hoagie spoke Abby grinned "Alright Hoagie prepare to take off at high Speed!" As the three of them buckled up safety first! As Numbah 2 gave her thumbs up “To passengers~ Fasten your seatbelt, please~ we will be departing any second~” Kuki giggled as she helped in launching. As Hoagie set the countdown "departing for high speed in 5..4..3..2..1..TAKE OFF!!!!!!"

He started to launch as their light took off. Heading towards an adventure full of sweets and magic! "so what's the name of this village Numbah?" Kuki asked as they checked the map "So what's the name of this village Numbah 5?" Kuki asked as they checked the map. "We shouldn't be long it's supposed to be in a place called Dewberry Moore." “Where do we land?” Hoagie asked. Looking down out the window "according to my calculations right about now! And look there's a place we can land to hide the ship." Pointing Hoagie to the direction it was a bit from said village but it would keep their ride out of sight “Right on.” Hoagie nodded. Landing safely and gently parking the ship into the area the trio got out setting the ship into camouflage mode Abby, Hoagie, and Kuki made their way into the entrance of the village a big sign reading 'Welcome to Dewberry Moore the sweetest town to be.' as townsfolk and tourist went about their day working or sightseeing the town's buildings set and beautiful German, Swedish, French and Dutch design in beautiful colors and scenery. “Wow~” Kuki’s eyes sparkled. There were even a few shops from other places Korea, Italy and Ecuador! With all different kinds of good smells coming from the shops, there was one smell Abby was looking for and that was the smell of sweet ole sugar. Abby looked around, detecting any sign of the scent. "Let’s see at the end of the village with a teacup candy flower sign." She whispered when suddenly her nose hit the scent of chocolate and sugar making her eyes lit up waving towards Hoagie and Kuki to follow her "Come on I believe it's this way!" And began walking towards the direction where the savory scent was coming from Hoagie and Kuki proceeded to follow Abby. They walked in a hurry pace being cautious not to bump into any people as they made their way towards the end of the village Abby was at a speed walking rate as Hoagie and Kuki huffed and puffed a little bit to catch up knowing Numbah 5's speed and determination when it comes to candy "Hey Abby wait for us!" Hoagie called out, and Abby then stopped as soon as she spotted the house.

As Hoagie and Kuki did the same OMG it was like seeing a doll's house it had a soft pink color with a white accent that looked like lace and gray stone covered in ivy with soft moss, wisteria and honeysuckle and star jasmines and in indeed on a iron basket hanger a sign the form of a teacup filled with delicious candies and flowers all painted porcelain with pink and periwinkle accents the letter on the front saying Little Lullaby Sweets and inside it's window they could see little treasures waiting inside. "So pretty~!" Kuki smiled widely, admiring the house. “I think it's even more pretty inside Numbah 3 come on y'all's candies awaiting!" Abby cheered as the three of them walked in once they stepped into that door their eyes shined and mouths gasped open in amazement "WOW!" It was really like a fairy-tale!

For inside some of the things in there looked like a vintage candy shoppe the walls were painted light blue and pink stripes with lilacs and little roses with butterfly patterns as the smell of sugary maple syrup, milk and honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger spices, berries of all kinds , vanilla, almond , pecans fresh baked pastries and especially the sweet delicious smell of chocolate hint their noses making their mouths water as they looked around inside cute baskets and jars filled with all different kinds of sweets some they recognized some they didn't even know existed in all shapes and colors from French candy cremes , maples leafs , candy drops from Lemon, Lime, Key lime pie, pineapple,pink pineapple, one called snowdrops that looked the flowers, candy sticks , lollipops , jawbreakers, jujubes, gummies that looked like berries, bonbons, fudge in beautiful colors and design one that looked like honeycomb and selection called fairy tale princesses all themed and colored like any fairy tale princess you can imagine from Cinderella Silver Bluebell glass slipper, Beauty Belle's red rose, Snow white gooseberry pie , Sleeping beauty's pink and butter cream blue magic , Little mermaid sea salt cream, princess and the frog creole cream cheese water lilies, and more so much more , sparkling rock candy some in the form of geodes , lollipops like fairy wings, sunny sunflowers, lilacs, daisies , bluebonnets, lilies, carnations, peonies, daffodils and buttercup cookie cups, ginger snaps and all beautiful designs, tea cookies, macaroons , cupcakes and muffins , baby pies ,bubble gum one called star gum that when you chew and blow a bubble it looks like a million tiny sparkling stars making it look like a Galaxy and when it pops the sparkles and stars spread making it all glittery and sparkly around you , there was even a special selection of candies with non peanut or nuts in it along with others that are made special for people who can't have sweets very much , there was even a vintage popcorn stand in Kuki's delight(popcorn being her favorite snack) what's popping away all different kinds of colored popcorn and it turned out that there was a little typewriter attached to it and that if you wanted a certain flavored popcorn you just needed to type it and it magically pop for you they don't know how it works but it's really fun to use and Numbah 3 knew exactly what kind of theme popcorn she wanted 'Rainbow Monkeys!' of course and when she typed it all of a sudden it started popping rainbow colored popcorn while her and Hoagie were picking out their treats along some for their friends and family Numbah 5 was making a special box of chocolates of all different kinds from Pink rosebuds , pearls , gemstones diamonds, and ladybug theme chocolates, dango, mochi, fancy marshmallows, candied fruit that looks like fruit , some unicorn candy sticks, silly braided licorice, jumping jelly beans, rainbow ribbons and queen of hearts tarts, chewy peanut butter circus peanuts, cherry bonbons looks like real cherries and last but not least she was looking for the main prize the Rosie pops her friend told her about and she looked around spotted her target "Oh Numbah 5 been waitin for you."

She whispered excitedly and she made her way across the store there they were in a beautiful crystal vase stacked like a real bouquet of roses were the Rosie pops except to her bit of confusion they were in a glass case at the little luck on it " huh this must be really good and special to be put in a case guess Numbah 5 gonna have to look for the owner." In the meantime she went back to check on Hoagie and Kuki “Hey, Abby~! So, how’s the inside?” Hoagie asked. "y'all there's so much to see it's hard to decide plus I found those Rosie pops and oh man oh man they look so beautiful and sweet we'll have to get some but it's in a glass case so I have to look for the owner to ask for some." Pointing the direction in the case it seems that the Sun rays shone through the window at the right moment as they hit the glass container containing the beautiful candied roses sparkling and shining like rubies and emeralds, Hoagie and Kuki let out a whistle impressed “Oooohh…” Hoagie blinked in disbelief. "ooooooohhh they're so pretty!" Kuki awed, indeed but where was the owner so Abby decided to ask someone. Looking around she spotted a woman close by “Must be the owner…” Abby wondered.

Walking up to her Abby cleared her throat to get her attention "Umm excuses Miss do you happen to be the owner here?" They turned to her surprised but smiled "Oh hello dear I'm sorry to say I'm not the owner of this place is Mr.Honeysuckle he's in the back right now finishing up wrapping an order for me but he shouldn't be long I see your interest in his rose lollies huh? They're one of the sweet house jewels of this place." She replied with a bright smile “Ahh… oh! I’m Abigail Lincoln.” Abby added, holding out her hand as the woman shook her hand in response. "Oh I am Madame Carlotta owner of Fleur De Lis Boutique across the lan, I come here once a month to collect some génial bonbons and le chocolat si magnifique!" Blowing a kiss with dramatic flair the woman reminded Abby of her momma even looked like her except had turquoise eyes and dressed like a sweet Cruella DeVil. "Ohhh." Then, Abby heard the voice of a young man. "Carlotta, Carlotta your package ready dearie." Came a male but soft feminine voice Abby Hoagie and Kuki turned to see a lady. Holding three vintage design-like boxes wrapped in pretty pink blue and white ribbons tied neatly in a bow the ladylike person holding them was actually Mr.Honeysuckle noticing the name tag on his apron, he looked to be almost her brother's age with skin creamy pale as milk, rosy cheeks like pink cotton candy with heart-shaped lips that looked like they were kissed by a plump cherry, big eyes full of sparkle and curious but the color they were like a minty green and specks of cerulean and red?

The hair caught their eyes too it was like a honey buttercream curled with bangs that twisted almost like roses or maybe cinnamon rolls and by telling by his aura he looked to be full of sweetness and kindness. "I had them very carefully wrapped for you just how you like them, Carlotta." He said with a soft smile handing them to the woman "Aww Ren you're such a darling now shall I pay you." They went to the cash register as the TND stared in surprise Kuki broke the silence "Wowie did you see Mr.Honeysuckle he looks like a princess!" She chirped excitedly as Abby waited to talk to Mr.Honeysuckle Hoagie saw some people buying some kind of soda that whenever you took a sip would change into your favorite color called Rainbow Root Beer "Hey Tommy would love those be right back!" And he rushed to grab a case for his little brother, Kuki a cotton candy in the form rainbow and other cute animals along with dragon and mermaid candy scales "Ooohh Mushi would love those be right back Numbah 5 la la la la la la~" skipping along to fetch the treats for her sister. Abby glanced around and paused to see several types of candy her other teammates and her family would love. “Numbuh 1 would love to have these with his new lady friend from Dimmsdale.” She smiled. They were pink chocolate roses with little dewdrops candy drops that sparkled liked diamonds and cherry blossoms, perfect for giving your sweetheart it said with a little vintage heart card and oh man hehe she knew Nigel was really sweet for Timmy whenever she came to visit “Hehehe, hope Numbuh 1 won’t get all shook.” Abby giggled a little. Getting a bouquet she turned just in time to see Miss Charlotta paying Mr.Honeysuckle " Fabulous Ren just fabulous well I'm off now back to the boutique see you next time cheerio, cheerio darling!" She blew a kiss and walked out the door when Mr. Honeysuckle walked up to come help her " All right then Ren Honeysuckle at your service how may I help you miss..? Asking Numbah 5 with a warm smile. Snapped from the thought, Abby cleaned her throat as she introduced herself, remembering the purpose. "Oh Yes I like to buy some of your Rosie pops please," giving a motion with his index finger for her to follow him “Of course dearie right this way~" reaching into his blouse he pulled a key attached to a necklace he was wearing from it "And how many of my roses would you like sweetie? He politely asked getting a lilac ribbon to tie them with. Taken back by amounts, Abby thought over the amount she needed. But to be cautious, since its existence can grab unwanted attention from competitive sweets owners. " I'd like 7 please (5 for her and friends and 2 for her parents ) in two separate boxes please ones for my family." With a nod Mr.Honeysuckle with a delicate handpicked the amount Abby wanted carefully holding them together in an elegant bouquet "Please follow me to the front and I will have you and your friend's treats boxed and wrapped up for you." He said leading Abby to the cashier where a table carefully placed the roses in a beautiful white box with pink ribbons on it and proceeded to wrap the goodies Abby picked out all wrapped up like a birthday gift. "Here you go dear I hope the wrapping is to your liking?" “Thanks~!” Abby then noticed a framed picture of Mr. Honeysuckle and Big Dad. “Sir, do you know this person?” She asked. Mr.Honeysuckle lightly blushed at the photo his pink cotton candy cheeks becoming a Dusty Rose "Yes sorta I was at a sweet convention once three years ago to produce some new Valentine's Day chocolates I made it turned out there was a meet and greet with Mr. Lilac Charlton, I admired some of his work and wanted to say hello but I never got the chance to fully meet him as everyone was there to greet him and take a photo."

Suddenly it seemed Honeysuckle got a little shy "with everyone desperately wanting to meet him " I didn't want to be a bother with people waiting so the only thing I asked was a quick photo after that I was left on my way." Abby scored she thought he heard a little sadness in his voice but it suddenly went away as Honeysuckle's eyes lit up to his happy Sweet self " the deep blushing of his cheek fading "Oh well enough of that dilly dally here comes your friends." Pointed as Hoagie and Kuki came with their chosen sweets ready to check out, as he proceeded to wrap their treats in beautiful boxes and ribbons Numbah 5 had something on her mind as they paid they're sweets they wished Mr.Honeysuckle goodbye " Cheery-bye sweeties feel free to come again have a lovely day and enjoy your sweets!" He declared happily waving them off as the trio headed out the door ‘Oh, it seems Mr. Honeysuckle has feelings for the Big Dad…’ Abby mused in her thought. Who wouldn't admire the man who was famous for making candy and sweets of all kinds and pretty handsome she admits.

Kuki and Hoagie saw Abby. Waved to her. "Whoa, I never knew these places could have candy like this and so cheap too!" Hoagie smiles popping a lollipop in his mouth “And all candies look so pretty~!” Kuki giggled. "Man, it's like this place can rival Lollies Sweet Factory's run for their own money!" “Well, turns out Big Dad and Mr. Honeysuckle are close.” Abby shrugged. Hoagie and Kuki were surprised by it “Whoa I didn't know that, that's cool!" He replied though Abby frowned a bit "Yeah but I couldn't help but see some sadness in his eyes he mentioned he never got to fully meet him as he thought he'd be a bother and didn't want to disturb Big Dad and his fans who really wanted to see him so he just went with only a picture he got, man Mr.Honey looks like a very nice person~." She said until Kuki chimed in "Yeah plus he looks like a princess with his pretty hair color and outfit all pink and periwinkle and violet..~" before Numbah 3 could finish the sound of thunder hit the sky as heavy rain began pouring down like buckets "Oh no our Candy's gonna get soaked!" Hoagie cried the ship was still far off from the town by the time they got there they'd be drenched to the bone! "Ooohh back to the candy shop!"

Number 3 urged as they began to hit them by then everyone had gone home for the evening and The Lullaby Sweets was still open “Well, we gotta stay still until the rain stops…” Abby looked at the sky. Holding tight to their sweets they made it back to the shop already getting wet and cold from the rain by the time they opened the door to the shop it was raining like cats and dogs "Buuurrrr it's so cold." Numbah 3 shivered “That's April showers for ya” Hoagie commented as Numbah 5 looked around for Mr.Honeysuckle who she found just in time sweeping up the shop and putting some things away “Oh, figured you would come back,” Mr. Honeysuckle smiled, “You three may stay until the rain stops.”

The teens smiled and thanked Mr.Honeysuckle for it as it continued to rain heavily an hour passed it rained, then it was two then three yet still it rained heavily by then Mr.Honeysuckle was dusting and mopping the floor and out of boredom of having to wait for the rain Kuki offered to help Mr.Honeysuckle with the cleaning to which at first he declined but Numbah 3 insisting with her sweetness he couldn't say no as she helped him with Hoagie and Abby decided to help out too finish cleaning and putting the supplies away making Mr. Honeysuckle feel grateful for all the help from the kind teens "thank you so much for the help you three usually it takes me a bit longer to finish cleaning after lock up." The three gave bashful looks "Oh it was nothing Mr. Honeysuckle we're happy to help out." Hoagie and Kuki agreed "Yeah it's great to have help, especially with working in this place on your own besides time goes by faster and hopefully the rain should be down by now.?" yet as Hoagie said a big boom could be heard outside as the rain and thunder continue to roll in ferociously, it was then they all heard gurgling sounds in the room and when they look down they realized it was all coming from their stomachs oh it looks like all that cleaning made them hungry looking at the clock it was a nearing supper time.

Seeing that they are stuck here longer than they predicted Mr.Honeysuckle decides to do something kind in return for helping him clean "Well it looks like you darlings are still stuck here for a while longer it seems how you three would like to stay for supper if you like?" He asked as he removed his apron and hung its place, the teen's tummies growled again waiting for their answers. “Really~?!” Kuki’s eyes sparkled. “Oh, we’d be thankful~” Hoagie smiled widely. "Wonderful here follow me the backroom leads to my home upstairs." He happily said opening the door to the kitchen leading to where he made his sweets and goodies in the back was another door dark cherry wooden of beautiful design leading upstairs of the home above "This way once we get there I'll put on some tea for us."

“Thank you~” Kuki smiled. Once inside it was like a cute doll's house all warm and cozy there was even a fireplace in the living room already lit bringing a warm glow to the room "Please make yourselves at home and I will join you shortly" Mr.Honeysuckle called out as he made his way to the kitchen the trio looked around everything looks so cute some of the design looks like it was from German and Swedish interior some of having a little candy or sweet theme to it like a fairy tale. Ever cautious, Abby looked around in case several threats may come to harm Mr. Honeysuckle or ransack his shop. In the meantime' Kuki and Hoagie made themselves comfortable on the couches enjoying how soft and fluffy they were "It's like sitting on a marshmallow." Kuki cooed enjoying and hugging the soft fluffy pillows as Hoagie warmed himself by the fire enjoying the sweet smell of the burning wood “This place is real paradise…” Hoagie remarked, in the chef’s kiss gesture. Soon Mr. Honeysuckle came with a tea tray filled with hot steaming tea with creamer and a small bowl of sugar and a honey jar with lemon wedges on the side "I wasn’t sure if you three took your tea with milk or lemon so I thought I'd bring a little each and supper should be ready in 30 minutes so here warm yourselves up." Putting the tray on a coffee table between them teens politely took their tea cups the steam floating in the air like a beautiful mist as they added milk/lemon and took a sip they were surprised by all the tea almost tasted like their favorite flavors “So sweet~!” Kuki squealed.

"I'm feeling warmed up already~!" Hoagie grinned taking another sip enjoying how it relaxed him, both sighed in satisfaction. It wasn't long until Mr.Honeysuckle brought two other trays in his hands one containing bowls and spoons with napkins and the other a small cauldron pot and load of bread "Hope you three like pumpkin cream soup and rosemary focaccia with olive oil?" Balancing the two trays with grace on the table opening the lead to reveal hot steaming soup small bubbles popping from it like a witch's brew scooped the soup with its ladle pouring a hearty amount into each bowl slicing a piece of bread for dipping as he hands them their meal before serving his own "bon appetite~."

He declared sitting in a rocking chair across the teens "Oh, thank you~" Kuki smiled widely the others the same. It was like warm hot hugs filling their bellies and the warm soft crunchiness of the bread made them smile with satisfaction “Aww, I’m glad you enjoyed…~” Mr. Honeysuckle smiled. "And now that we're more acquainted please call me Ren." The three teenagers smiled. The rain continued outside, but less thunderstorms. Getting a pair of yarn and knitting needles Ren began to gently rock back and forth "So my dears who are you if you don't mind me asking? “Well, we are…” Hoagie began as Kuki continued, “We are from Teens Next Door~!” Ren raised a brow in slight confusion " The Teens Next Door..? Pardon me I never heard of something like that before? Is it some kind of kids club or teen band?”

“Ah, well….. it’s like a… community service!” Abby replied quickly, “Helping kids who were having family or school problems, rescuing small animals… and stuff.” Ren seemed to accept that answer "Oh it sounds like a sweet service you three seem to have such good hearts to help those in need." “Yeah. And we even donate sweets to kids who couldn’t provide enough.” Abby added. Ren was amazed "Oh that is truly sweet indeed it truly feels my heart with joy reminds me of my own acts of bringing sweets to those who were unable to enjoy those privileges." "Really? Where did you send the sweets to?" Kuki asked. “I send them to shelters and orphanages all across Europe and the world when I get the chance to bring a little sweetness to someone's life." Ren replied, "Especially to children who went through poverty and hunger in their lives." "Awww~" Kuki smiled. “For I knew how they felt and went through in their lives to experience hunger in the cold." A look in his eyes seemed to drift off in a long-forgotten memory until an unusual sound was heard coming from somewhere in the room what sounded like squeaking..? The three Teens Next Door tilted their head from the sound.

Ren smiled at the sound as he whispered in a sing-song voice "Nibbling, nibbling little mouse, who comes munching in my house~?" Suddenly out came a little gray and white harvest mouse crawling into the room from a small opening of the window, around its neck was a periwinkle ribbon of frilly white lace tied in a little elegant bow its center holding a little pink button no bigger than snowpea "Oh hello Miss Truffle I didn't expect a visit today?" He spoke in a cherry tone as if they were old friends and to the trio's surprise at what they were seeing the little mouse now known as Miss Truffle stood up smiling as if she actually understood showing that she was wearing a cute little white apron similar to Mr.Honeysuckle's using to dry some of her wet fur as if she had just gotten out of the rain outside with her little pink paws as she goes up to the fireplace to warm herself. Suddenly a hamster poked out of Hoagie’s jacket pocket and tilted its head as well. It was Joaquin! Who watched curious as Miss Truffle warmed and dried herself off by the fire her fur becoming fluffy by its warmth her warm brown eyes shined like soft sweet melted chocolate from its firelight noticing the hamster coming from Hoagie's pocket she waved a cute little pink paw in greeting, Joaquin the hamster cheerfully waved its small paw in return. Suddenly Miss Truffle gave a little sneeze and she pulled out an actual little handkerchief from her apron tapping her little nose with it to settle down her little sniffle as Ren and Kuki giggled at the cute site "Oh gesundheit." He cooed as he continued to knit with his yarn Joaquin the hamster jumped off of Hoagie to crawl over to Truffle by the fireplace as the little mouse blew into her handkerchief Kuki thought it was the cutest thing she had ever seen.

“Aww…” she silently gushed. Abby meanwhile was thinking over what Mr.Honey..Ren said that the rhyme sounded familiar somewhere she heard before but where? She pondered over it but was unable to remember clearly she'd have to research it later. The time they continue to talk with Ren getting to know the kind candy maker but he is a kind gentle person who can bring warm comfort to any place or anyone wanting to see the good in others he also was a lover of books holding a little library within his home holding all different kinds of stories from fairy tales to fiction nonfiction the selection was so fascinating you couldn't help but want to read one and was one who loved to cook as well along having a love for making candy and sweet he has a curiosity of wanting to cook interesting meals with his ingredients that he gets from his garden and being creative in his work. Abby looked through books, articles and such. Then, she noticed articles about Lollies Land ‘The land of Big Dad’s Candy paradise…’ Abby mused. It looked old and a little worn out children's book but it looked like it was read with care. full of curiosity, Reading through it was full of rhymes and little tales of the 'fictional' Lollies Land. What got her attention was the illustration of Big Dad. It looked like him in person but with some older fashion clothing Abby then read over the page. As she looked through it she suddenly heard something she noticed Mr. Honeysuckle softy begin humming a lullaby to himself as he knitted watching as Kuki and Hoagie cooed over Truffle and Joaquin talked to each other in their animal language as Ren's hummed tune turned to words.

"🎶Sleepers awaken

The night has gone and taken

Your darkest fears and left you here

And the sun it shines so clear

And the sun it shines so clear Awake for the world looks wonderful🎶"

the lullaby felt soothing bringing warmth and comfort around the teens as it was slowly making them sleepy "🎶Oh glorious golden sun

Your song of light you bring

And when we turn away

Your silver sister moon does sing

Then once again we face

Your glory and your grace And those who sleep still take?🎶"

As she read through the page reading what it said And one page shows a little boy holding hands with Big Dad in Lollies Land

The child reminded her of a certain pirate

"🎶Sleepers awaken

The night has gone and taken

Your darkest fears and left you here

And the sun it shines so clear

Awake for the world looks wonderful🎶"

Abby could remember the time Stickybeard told her how he met Big Dad when he was a little boy and offered him some chocolate as a act of kindness when he was at the highest of in poverty and hopes one day to find the island to return the kindness brought him as a child. Everyone who met Big Dad would talk of him highly and reason some want to find that bad in the in search of his island but never did.

"🎶You send your beams to earth

Giving flowers their birth

And looking to the sky

They see your diamond eye

Livening sap and cell

They love you very well

And answering the first light’s ring🎶"

As Abby thought of this unknown to her Kuki and Hoagie that Ren's soft lullaby was slowly putting them to sleep in the warm cozy environment they were in it was if the long days and sometimes stress of work in the TND were leaving their bodies and letting their minds relax for the first in a long time as Abby felt eyes begin to feel heavy from sleepiness

"🎶Sleepers awaken

The night has gone and taken

Your darkest fears and left you here

And the sun it shines so clear

Awake for the world looks wonderful🎶"

Abby listened, quietly smiling. The humming and softening of the lullaby continued as the glowing warmth of the fireplace surrounded them and little by little the trio slowly began fall asleep having been embraced by the comforts of feelings of home until Abigail was the last one to fall asleep listening to the soothing lullaby sending them off to Dreamland.

end of chapter 1

what will happen when the Teens wake up? what delicious meal will Ren Honeysuckle make next and is there more to his past then we think? and are Truffles and Joaquin becoming sudden sweethearts?

對於女人來說，美麗是謙遜的標誌。

In woman, beauty is a sign of modesty.

-Boris Vian 鮑希斯·維昂-

(1920-1959)法國博學多才的作家，詩人，音樂家，歌唱家，翻譯家，評論家，演員，發明家和工程師。他對於法國爵士樂具有重要影響力。He was a French polymath: writer, poet, musician, singer, translator, critic, actor, inventor and engineer who is primarily remembered for his novels. Those published under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan were bizarre parodies of criminal fiction, highly controversial at the time of their release due to their unconventional outlook. Vian was an important influence on the French jazz scene. He served as liaison for Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis in Paris, wrote for several French jazz-reviews (Le Jazz Hot, Paris Jazz) and published numerous articles dealing with jazz both in the United States and in France. His own music and songs enjoyed popularity during his lifetime, particularly the anti-war song "Le Déserteur" (The Deserter).

You might call it a sub, a hero, a grinder, an Italian. There are many names, reflecting the regional flavors of America. I called it a wedge growing up around Tarrytown, New York. In Philadelphia and thereabouts, they call it a hoagie. They say today is National Hoagie Day, and the way one celebrates is by consuming one. I’ll content myself with sharing my photos of five interesting hoagie places, three of which are only serving hoagies in the memories of customers. I’ll begin with one of my favorite storefronts in Philadelphia, or anywhere really. This crusty, rusty beauty of a storefront has been the longtime home of Melino’s Hoagies, which looked closed when I visited in 2020 but was still open. It appears now to be closed for good. A pity: Online reviews talked about pilgrimages here, and former Philadelphians with nostalgic guts pined for another bite. They talked of coming here for 25, 50 years, forever. Our second is a shuttered hoagie shop, also in Philadelphia, which has a great collection of vintage signage, courtesy of the Pepsi-Cola Co. I love the little sticker promoting the Philadelphia Daily News, and the old-school signage for the Pennsylvania Lottery. (I’ve got the classic PA Lottery jingle stuck in my head now. If you know, you know! If you don’t, it’s on YouTube.) Next, we cross the Delaware and head to New Jersey for a visit to JoJo’s Steakhouse in Trenton. I shot this long-shuttered delapidated pile of wood in December and it would be demolished just two months later. I almost drove past, but I instantly knew I’d regret that. Turns out the JoJo in question was the infamous Joseph “JoJo” Giorgianni, a criminal figure who became a household name on TV airwaves between New York and Philadelphia in the 1980s. Though Trenton was eager to demolish these and several adjacent buildings, it did save JoJo’s hanging sign for posterity. Our fourth stop is in Bordentown, New Jersey. A pizza shop, Anthony’s also serves hoagies here, which is a menu offering you can find at many regional pizzerias, including Sam’s in Downingtwon, Pennsylvania. Both have been around since 1977, in what was clearly a banner year for comfort food. #retrologist https://www.instagram.com/p/CdMrAyRrU6w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Libby Spotlight: Popular Mysteries

Don’t Believe It by Charlie Donlea

The Girl of Sugar Beach is the most watched documentary in television history—a riveting, true-life mystery that unfolds over twelve weeks and centers on a fascinating question: Did Grace Sebold murder her boyfriend, Julian, while on a Spring Break vacation, or is she a victim of circumstance and poor police work? Grace has spent the last ten years in a St. Lucian prison, and reaches out to filmmaker Sidney Ryan in a last, desperate attempt to prove her innocence.

As Sidney begins researching, she uncovers startling evidence overlooked during the original investigation. Before the series even finishes filming, public outcry leads officials to reopen the case.

Delving into Grace's past, Sidney peels away layer after layer of deception. But as she edges closer to the real heart of the story, Sidney must decide if finding the truth is worth risking her newfound fame, her career... even her life.

The Night Shift by Alex Finlay

It's New Year's Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end in chaos: planes falling from the sky, elevators plunging to earth, world markets collapsing. A digital apocalypse. None of that happens. But at a Blockbuster Video in New Jersey, four teenagers working late at the store are attacked. Only one inexplicably survives. Police quickly identify a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the victims, who flees and is never seen again.

Fifteen years later, more teenage employees are attacked at an ice cream store in the same town, and again only one makes it out alive.

In the aftermath of the latest crime, three lives intersect: the lone survivor of the Blockbuster massacre who's forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who's convinced the police have the wrong suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller who must delve into the secrets of both nights—stirring up memories of teen love and lies—to uncover the truth about murders on the night shift.

The Widows of Malabar Hill by Sujata Massey

Bombay, 1921: Perveen Mistry, the daughter of a respected Zoroastrian family, has just joined her father's law firm, becoming one of the first female lawyers in India. Armed with a legal education from Oxford, Perveen also has a tragic personal history that makes her especially devoted to championing and protecting women's rights.

Mistry Law is handling the will of Mr. Omar Farid, a wealthy Muslim mill owner who has left three widows behind. But as Perveen goes through the papers, she notices something strange: all three have signed over their inheritance to a charity. What will they live on if they forefeit what their husband left them? Perveen is suspicious.

The Farid widows live in purdah: strict seclusion, never leaving the women's quarters or speaking to any men. Are they being taken advantage of by an unscrupulous guardian? Perveen tries to investigate and realizes her instincts about the will were correct when tensions escalate to murder. It's her responsibility to figure out what really happened on Malabar Hill, and to ensure that nobody is in further danger.

This is the first volume in the “Perveen Mistry” series.

The Lady in the Silver Cloud by David Handler

A 1955 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is a fantastically expensive car, especially in the pristine condition of the one owned by Muriel Cantrell. Living in a luxury apartment building on Central Park West, the delicate, sweet 75-year-old woman is a neighbor of Merilee Nash, the beautiful movie star, and Stuart Hoag, whose first book was a sensation but whose career crashed when he became involved with drugs and alcohol. Divorced ten years earlier, Hoagy has been welcomed back into Merilee's life and apartment.

Apparently universally beloved in her building, residents are shocked when Muriel is murdered after a Halloween party. No one takes it harder than her long-time chauffeur, Bullets Durmond, whose previous job was as an enforcer for the mob. Who in the world would want to harm the silver-haired lady whose major vices were buying shoes and Chanel suits (always in cash), and watching day-time soap operas?

Lieutenant Romaine Very of the NYPD is called to investigate and again seeks help from his friend Hoagy who, along with his basset hound Lulu, has been an invaluable aide in the past. The investigation leads to the unexpected source of Muriel's wealth, the history of her early years as a hatcheck girl at the Copacabana, how her chauffeur came to be called Bullets, her desperate meth-head nephew, and her wealthy neighbors, who have secrets of their own.

This is the 13th volume in the “Stewart Hoag” series.

Here's my guitar arrangement to the Hoagy Carmichael song "The Nearness of you".

It's a jazz tune written in 1937 but I have make it more in a kind of jazzpop fusion style in this arrangement. The arrangement can stand on its own even though I have an accompaniment in the video.

Many artists have record this beautiful tune as Glenn Miller orchestra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson, Al Jearreau, Charlie Parker, Frank Sinatra, Joe Pass, Joshua Redman, Michael Brecker w. James Taylor, Etta James and Norah Jones among many others.

Beginners (2010)

Written and directed by Mike Mills, this semi-autobiographical film is mainly focused on the relationship between a man named Oliver Fields and his aging father Hal Fields, who came out of the closet in his seventies.

Ewan McGregor plays Oliver while Christopher Plummer plays Hal. Other stars include Mélanie Laurent as Oliver’s love interest Anna and a Jack Russell Terrier dog that was once owned by Hal named Arthur.

Ewan McGregor manages to carry the movie with solid acting, even when his character is emotionally troubled at times. Christopher Plummer is the jewel on the crown as he delivers fresh dignity to an honest, ecstatic soul who shows no sign of self-pity. What’s more, the role won Christopher Plummer an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Mélanie Laurent plays a vagabond whose relationship with her father is more complicated than Oliver’s. The canine actor (whose real name is Cosmo) even proves to be quite the adorable scene-stealer who’s got subtitled communication on the screen so viewers can actually know what he’s thinking.

The film is partly based on director Mike Mills’ personal experience as his father was gay the whole time he was married, but kept his sexuality hidden until after his wife died. He then decided to enter a new phase as a homosexual. Although the revelation came as a surprise to Oliver, he tries to re-evaluate as he already sensed there was some distance between his parents. Five years into the gay community, Hal becomes romantically involved with a much younger man, only to be diagnosed with terminal cancer. Since his father wasn’t around much during childhood, Oliver tries to form a closer bond with him before he dies. Hal on the other hand doesn’t acknowledge the symptoms as he is overjoyed to live a carefree lifestyle at a convenient time.

Through a series of flashbacks, the film takes place in 2003, coupled with multi-generational images of the 20th century. Every overlapping scene depicts the growing changes of society. For example, homosexuality was originally considered a mental illness to the point where people might lose everything dear to them if sexual orientation of the same gender was found out. As such, Hal was able to open his heart to Oliver’s mother as they were old friends on friendly (but complex) terms.

What’s touching about the story is it gives the impression of looking at yourself in the mirror as you figure out how to move on from a tragic loss. Oliver is first seen in a sullen mood following several failed relationships. At the same time, his father’s happiness inspires him to pursue a new relationship.

The film puts comedy and drama together in a unique way to demonstrate the pros and cons of love. As Oliver and Anna’s intimate friendship blooms into romance, personal issues of self-doubt soon begin to prevent them from committing to one another. During those setbacks, Oliver would keep himself busy as a graphic designer while Anna (an actress) checks herself in empty hotel rooms with her earnings.

The soundtrack contains classical music and vintage songs within a modern timeline to reflect the ancient history of the 20th century. Some of those songs include: “Stardust” by Hoagy Carmichael and “Everything’s Made for Love” by Gene Austin.

Finally, the true significance of the movie is even though new beginnings can be life-changing, it’s never too late to achieve what your heart longs for. With all that said, I deeply recommend this poignant cinematic love story to everyone.

TW// S/H, BLOOD, BRUISING, AND IMPLIED ABUSE ON THE THIRD IMAGE, TALK OF ABUSE, ALCOHOL AND S/H IN SECOND PART OF THE CAPTION BELOW THE DRAWINGS.

I would also like to add that these are mostly headcanons that I've made for coping with my own trauma with the subjects. I make these headcanons for my own comfort knowing that I'm not alone when struggling, and for people who struggle with these things themselves who wish they could see their struggles portrayed in their favorite characters. I do NOT support acts of hurting oneself or others and if you're in a bad situation please get help if you can <33 these struggles can occur at ANY age. If you see signs of someone possibly hurting themselves, hurting others, or being hurt, no matter how young or old, tell someone who can help them get out of the situation.

I think they'd always be there for each other, even for small things like one of them being a little angry or one of them just having a bad day. They love each other, and feel comfortable enough around each other to let out their emotions freely without fear of being shamed. Wally likes to tell Hoagie that they're "battling this together", even if what is happening to Hoagie has nothing to do with Wally. He likes to compare it to fights with adult tyranny where he thought he'd lose but ended up winning in the end, and tells Hoagie that he just needs to keep fighting.

They both share similar struggles, both are abused and both have a tendency to hurt themselves on purpose when they feel strong negative emotions. Wally deals with his mother who lost her job recently and has taken to drinking alcoholic beverages to cope, which causes unnecessarily violent actions towards Wally and ONLY Wally, at completely unexpected points. She's normally very sweet and caring, but the alcohol messes with her and makes her feel as though she needs to punish her older son in more extreme ways. Wally has gotten used to the feeling of being hurt that he impulsively hurts himself constantly out of habit (typically with his nails, scissors, edges of tables, etc) or out of anger (banging his head, ripping his hair out, slapping his face, etc). Hoagie deals with the same issues, but they form much differently than they do for Wally. His grandma hurts him both mentally and physically, but instead of doing it when/where no one else can see like Wally's mom, she does it anywhere at any time in front of anyone. His mom is too afraid to confront her own mother, so he's forced to deal with her abuse (caused by dementia). Unfortunately, Hoagie grew up with unrestricted internet access and learned about unhealthy coping skills far too early in his life. He never showed an issue with keeping himself safe until Abby had a brief struggle with it a year prior to the show. She had picked it up from Cree, who encouraged her to hurt herself to make herself feel better. Of course, she realized how horrible it made her feel and the permanent damage it would cause and stopped doing it, and eventually got her sister to get help for it, but Hoagie began doing it afterwards because Abby had explained to him *why* people hurt themselves sometimes. He ended up with a habit of hurting himself very quickly, and even got to a point of addiction to hurting himself (that only lasted a week thankfully) where he would carry around a box cutter and just start hurting himself at any time and place if he felt the urge to. He's gotten much better about it thanks to support from his friends, but he still deals with occasional relapses.

The two are sticking together to try and keep the other safe. They both struggle with trusting people but they've grown so comfortable around each other that they can trust one another with almost no issue. That has proven very helpful for their recovery, as they both kinda just needed someone they can genuinely trust. They usually just watch Yipper together when they feel bad, it's their favorite thing to watch together lol... Besides romcom, which is more of Hoagies taste, but Wally still enjoys them because it makes Hoagie happy

This was sitting in my drafts and I'm cleaning up, so here goes:

Since Glenn is on this new show, I reckoned he would have to do interviews, so I did some digging because I'm so normal about him.

He was on a panel at New York Comic Con back in October. Here's the rundown of the Glenn content (not in chronological order):

youtube

GLENNTENT

Glenn signed on to the Velma show because "the people on stage were involved". The people on stage are EPs and cast, viz. Mindy Kaling, Charlie Grandy, Sam Richardson, Constance Wu.

Charlie Grandy had suggested Glenn for Fred because they were looking for a comedy actor with great humanity.

All the writers on The Mindy Project were obsessed with Sunny, especially Glenn as Dennis, which is why they had him on TMP to play Cliff Gilbert the lawyer and wrote him as a "normal" guy.

I couldn't quite pinpoint the timeline in the development process when the cast got involved because the character designs are clearly based on them, but it was unclear if they had the opportunity to read the whole pilot script when they came on.

Sounds like the cast went onboard based on MK and CG being successful writers and producers (can't fully confirm this)

Glenn did not know Fred is pre-pubescent (revealed in episode 1) until he read the pilot which seems to have happened some time after he was pitched the role and possibly after casting.

He used to do a "whiny spoilt teenage boy complaining to his mother" voice with his friends as a funny bit. He tried that voice here half-thinking he'd be stopped because it sounds nothing like the original Fred and perhaps a bit strange, but when nobody stopped him, he just ran with it.

When asked about playing these types of entitled white guys more than once and also if he was into Fred driving a "weird sex van": NO! He's actually uncomfortable with how almost every character he plays seems to be a variation on this.

Says he keeps doing it probably because it appeals to his sense of humour, but he also doesn't know why he does it. Admits maybe a small dark part of him can relate to these characters.

Glenn said the cast didn't get to see the final show until much later because they were all off in their own separate covid bubbles working on other shows (Sunny, AP Bio, etc.) when they did Velma

Glenn used to watch the original series as a kid.

He was more of a Shaggy than a Fred as a teenager. He had long curly hair and wore birkenstocks and Grateful Dead tshirts. Smoked a lot of week. Ate a lot of hoagies (is that the right word?). And Sam (Shaggy) was more of a Fred.

Moderator asked if there would be Velma/Daphne and Shaggy/Fred. They didn't say no!

Since I'm already going, here's some more stuff on the development and writing of the Velma show for context:

Development

The creator and showrunner is not actually Mindy Kaling but Charlie Grandy, the dude on the right, who wrote on SNL, The Daily Show, The Office, The Mindy Project and many of her other shows, and has been her collaborator since 2008

Charlie and Mindy started working on the show and pitching to Warner Brothers before the pandemic around 3+ years ago

Part of their pitch was "a love quadrangle", possibly influenced by various teen dramas currently on air

WB didn't give them the rights to the Scooby Doo character!

They didn't get into serious development until quarantine and mostly worked over Zoom

After lockdown, only animated shows were possible, so Mindy wasn't busy with Sex Lives of College Girls anymore

Unusually for animation, the characters designs weren't already done yet by the time the writers got involved, so they got to be involved in the process to choose art styles

With the art, they were going for something between classic Hanna-Barbera and modern cartoons with designs ranging from comedy to horror

None of the characters felt tied to whiteness except Fred

Writing

The show is a prequel that will track the characters as they grow into the classic versions of themselves, so like Norville -> Shaggy

The show will have an underlying mystery over the course of the season balanced with a series of shorter arcs

The EPs were influenced by Harley Quinn, Rick and Morty, Spiderverse and Riverdale

The writers talked about Riverdale in the room quite a lot... errr…

Parents, their impact on their kids and family life were fleshed out because those are big themes in modern teen dramas

Charlie hired a diverse young writing staff to help make Indian Velma and her family feel more authentically written

The writers had some trouble because they wrote some of the scripts a while ago not realizing that animation would take so long that some of the jokes would be out of date

They sort of avoided that problem by having Velma and Daphne be obsessed with pop culture like previous Mindy characters.

Velma does make references but has more blindspots than previous Mindy characters

Velma was moulded to be a typical Mindy underdog character

Daphne is more pop culture savvy than her.

Cast

Table read of the pilot was done on Zoom during lockdown.

In fact, it sounds like the whole thing was done quite some time ago in the pandemic.

Scooby was deemed safe enough for Mindy to watch when she was growing up and she latched on to Velma's intelligence as a kid

The cast all said the scripts were funny and that they were happy with how the episodes turned out, especially from a comedy pov.

Constance and Mindy said it was nice to see the characters have chemistry even though the actors did their table-reads and voice acting remotely and/or separately.**

Mindy and Constance didn't do voices for the characters because they already sound young.

NYCC 2022 was the first time any of the cast met in-person post-pandemic.

** Didn't Glenn say on one of the earlier zoom episodes of the Sunny Podcast that he got sent over all sorts of audio equipment during the pandemic for work reasons? I'm wondering if it was for this show.

I couldn't quite put together a timeline or ordering of casting, scripting, character designing and voice acting in reference to each other :(

#it's not like i'm doing this to avoid my irl problems #fred #velma hbo max #glenn howerton #panel interview #sur #sur rambles
