#i also remember back in the day when i was really little and scooby doo was the special interest

[reiderwriter]

Hi I’m new to this so I’ve no clue if this is how you request, but I was thinking Spencer fluff, in earlier seasons where he’s a little bit more awkward but has a little bit of confidence, based on that one episode where hotch says Reid was propositioned by all the prostitutes & you’re dating him but you’re not the jealous type, they know what they have with Spencer is good and knows he worships the ground they walk on, so isn’t worried or threatened by anyone so while he’s getting hit on being a blabbering mess they just giggle to themselves making little suggestive comments. Hope this makes sense🥰

A/N: That's one of my favourite scenes because it's so hilarious to see Hotch cracking jokes for some reason. That and "did you join a boy band?" Iconic, truly. ❤️ Thank you for requesting, I'll shut up now.

Warnings: none

You were aware that Spencer Reid was a catch. Perfectly aware. More than aware. Desperately aware.

He was, quite possibly, the most attractive bean pole of a man that had ever walked the earth. He was beautiful and he was loving and his smile lit up the room and you were quite honoured to be able to call him your boyfriend.

It was not lost on you that many other people - not just women - also desired him. Which led to some downright hilarious instances.

“It's not funny, Y/N.” He pouted, that adorable furrow in his brow coming back and finding it's perfect place on his face as you stared up at him. You knew the expression you were showing him was a little bit dreamy, head in both hands as you gazed admiringly up at him, but you simply didn't care what kind of company you were in.

“Spencer, you were propositioned by 11 prostitutes.”

“I'm sure they were just teasing, Y/N. I'm awkward, I stand out like a sore thumb, I'm not buff or hot, I'm-”

“A complete and total liar!” You stood, gasping and grasping non existent pearls, playing up your disbelief. He cracked a smile and you paused briefly to send up a prayer to God, thanking them for putting a real angel on Earth.

“Spencer, you may be a little bit nerdy, and you absolutely do not know when to shut up. Your hair may always looks like your mom did it for school picture day, and your fashion sense is questionable to out it kindly-”

“Is there a but? I need there to be a but or I'll cry myself to sleep.”

“But those things are incredibly endearing. And did I mention you're really hot? It's like you're all members of the Scooby Doo cast rolled into one body and somehow that really works for me.” To punctuate your words, you took a step closer, letting your hand play with his tie as you slowly encouraged him to take a small step towards you as well, until you weren't sure where the heat that warmed you was coming from.

It could've been rolling off of him, or you, or it could've been a fire burning between you, as you fixed his tie and ran a hand through his hair.

“I'm not joking with you, Spencer. I love watching everyone appreciate your beauty and your intellect. Frankly, it turns me on.”

“Okay. I'll remember that, thank you.”

“Turns on the prostitutes, too.”

“Y/N! They're just trying to make a living, if you'd have been out there canvassing they'd have tried it with you too.” You had to giggle a bit at his loom of exasperation, flas to see that it was tainted with an uncontrollable smile, a small lifting at the corners of his mouth that he couldn't combat.

“Spencer Reid, Hotch told me that one of the girls offered you $100 for a ride.”

“That's not exactly cheap or a discount, Y/N, the going rate for a working girl in the area is-”

“Spencer. She was offering you money.” His brows knitted again and then his eyes widened in realisation.

“Oh. Oh, she did look very disappointed now that I think about it.” You pressed your hand to your mouth to suppress the small pleasurable giggles from slipping out and composed yourself, before slipping your arms around his waist.

“So, Spence. How is it that you know the going rate of a working girl?” You lifted your eyebrow and watched him panic, ready to memorise every expression that ever passed across his angelic features.

Celebrating Halloween w/ Michael Afton Headcanons

˚ · • . ° .˚ · • . ° . Media: FNAF

Summary: Headcanons about celebrating the spooky season with Michael Afton

Description: Gender neutral, fluff, domestic, established relationship? a little angst? Cringe?

Other: Yes, I know it's past Halloween. :/ This was originally written for game! Michael, as I haven't watched the movie. I don't know if movie! Michael would match this, but imagine how you please.

˚ · • . ° .˚ · • . ° .

Since Michael has the daytime off (although he sleeps most of the day, reasonably so from his late night shifts), he likes to spend his time with you!

Like watching scary movies!

Yeah..Michael is not so into scary movies. He will watch anything you pick that isn't too gory. He prefers to watch dramas or pg/pg-13 Halloween movies/tv shows.

So something simple like the Addams Family, Scooby-Doo, or something romantic like Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, he would enjoy. "Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We got some work to do now!" You both would idiotically sing along, almost choking on popcorn.

Horror movies are just a bit too real when he is trying to enjoy his time away from the horrors already. He would much rather watch something you both can enjoy and cuddle on the couch to watch.

Would he like to carve pumpkins? Yes

Would Michael be good at it? No

While Michael would enjoy going to a local pumpkin patch (or more likely picking one out from the store) and picking out the perfect pumpkin and getting the special tools, he would not be good at carving.

Good carving takes practice. It's fair to say he didn't have the practice when he could carve. Meaning Michael remembers carving pumpkins with his dad and brother, but couldn't really carve.

As a teenager, Michael spent his Halloween out of the house at parties or 'pranking' other houses, he was out doing anything to stay away from home. When he moved out, he didn't go out of his way to celebrate the holiday. Maybe a bucket of candy outside and a decorative pumpkin but that was the extent.

But you were more than happy to teach Michael how to carve. Or perhaps both of you will learn together!

"Brains!" Michael groaned, imitating a zombie, holding a handful of pumpkin innards to your face. "Eww!" You laughed and slapped his hands away, making the innards splatter on both of your faces.

˚ · • . ° .˚ · • . ° .

Post-Scoop Headcanons: (more angst)

Michael would also enjoy classic movies like Frankenstein and Dracula.

He would 1. enjoy Dracula for the vampire drama and 2. like Frankenstein but could only watch it once a year since it's sad (especially for Michael), which you would comfort him.

You would definitely have to physically help Michael carve a pumpkin. As much as he wouldn't like to admit he's weak, he's not afraid to ask for help getting around on his elbow crutches, getting up, eating, or other tasks, and you gladly help him with an exchange of a kiss. Your body hugged around Michael's back as he leaned forward on the counter, your arms slithered around his waist while your hands rested on top of his to help steady the knife on a pumpkin you deemed perfect. The cuts were jagged and uneven, but perfect, perfect in your eyes.

Sofia the First Season 1 in a Nutshell

Gonna rapidfire review each Sofia the First episode in one paragraph cos I wanna gush about this show. Might do this with some other shows

Once Upon a Princess - 4/10

Local village girl Sofia becomes a princess cos her mum married the king and now has to deal with being part of the monarchy. Her half sister Amber goes into jealous bitch mode and makes Sofia's day a living hell then Cinderella literally appears out of the aether to gaslight Sofia into giving Amber a second chance. Not a great start, show.

Just One of the Princes - 7/10

Sofia learns about the inherent misogyny in Royal Prep regarding the flying horse derby and immediately goes lol fuck you im gonna fly a horse and win the race cos I can. Bluebell princess is best princess

The Big Sleepover - 9/10

Sofia invites her old besties from the village for a sleepover while Amber invites her own princess friends and Sofia legit thought that 3 snobby princesses and some village girls could get along.

Let the Good Times Troll - 8/10

Sofia befriends a bunch of trolls who quite literally cause panic on the dancefloor. They also perform a jazz musical number that fucking slaps

Cedric's Apprentice - 10/10

Hapless sorceror Cedric tries to take over the kingdom by getting Sofia's amulet but cant bring himself to do it cos Sofia is too baby must protect. One surefire way to make a villain sympathetic is make them completely incapable of hurting a child's feelings

A Royal Mess - 5/10

James destroys a stained glass window cos he played ball in the castle when THERES A COURTYARD JUST OUTSIDE

The Shy Princess - 10/10

Sofia befriends the class introvert and end up having the most adorable musical number together. In this house, we approve of the baby gays

Blue Ribbon Bunny - 4/10

Okay fuck off, Sofia would never replace her fave bunny Clover for a show rabbit just cos Amber suggested it.

The Princess Test - 8/10

Sofia having major insecurities over being a worthy princess while she's unknowingly flexing on every other princess in school by being her kindhearted self.

Baileywick's Day Off - 2/10

Baileywick finally gets a well deserved break. The royal family immediately proceed to bother him for help every 2 minutes cos they cant even tie their shoelaces without him. Oh but its okay cos they gave him a party at the end of the day.

The Tri-Kingdom Picnic - 5/10

Ooo, a tri-kingdom episode? Surely this'll be a great way to teach kids about different cultures and how it relates to the charac- oh wait its a James episode...great.

The Little Witch - 9/10

Sofia befriends the wicked witch who's pulling pranks on everyone. Turns out she's actually a little witch whos lonely cos everyone fears her so they work together to change her reputation. Awww

Takes Two to Tangu - 6/10

Amber and Sofia get lost in Arabia and the former is slowly losing her mind. Oh and Princess Jasmine's there.

Finding Clover - 7/10

Finally, a good Clover episode. This time, Sofia is travelling across the entire kingdom to search for him cos this kid is willing to trek through the Nine Circles of Hell to get her bunny back

The Amulet of Avalor - 10/10

This is just an extended Scooby Doo chase scene but with an amulet and I fucking love it

The Buttercups - 4/10

I find it really insulting that Baileywick is coddling poor Sofia from doing her outdoor Girl Scouts activities cos the king was being needlessly overprotective over her and Sofia just has to deal with it the majority of the episode

Make Way for Miss Nettle - 8/10

So the show's recurring villain is also a spiteful ex-member of the Sleeping Beauty fairies? And she's voiced by Megan Mullally? OH THIS IS GONNA BE FUN

The Amulet and the Anthem - -3/10

Remember, kids. Its good to have confidence in your achievements BUT DONT YOU DARE BOAST ABOUT THEM. And by boasting, we mean talking about your achievements for more than a minute. So we're gonna curse you until you apologise and we'll have PRINCESS BELLE OF ALL PEOPLE tell Sofia to make an effort to be a better person when she wasn't even that boastful to begin with (especially compared to Amber's boasting) like why is Belle here why couldnt Sofia's mother tell her that WHAT IS THIS EPISODE

Tea for Too Many - 5/10

Amber takes over Sofia's tea party because of her obsession with decadence and the inability to shut up. Sofia, you really need to stop being a pushover

Princess Butterfly - 10/10

A wonderful lesson about cheaters never prosper and that its wrong for to get someone else to give up something to fix your own mistakes. The first time Amber gets some proper development

Great Aunt-Venture - 7/10

Well, Roland's sister is an absolute delight. I sure do hope she wont become a boring quest-giver to Sofia later on!

The Baker King - 6/10

King Roland commanding a cow to make milk is the highlight of the whole episode. No, you will not get context for that.

The Floating Palace - -3/10

Sofia befriends a mermaid named Oona but the merpeople have this racial prejudice against humans so they hate Sofia because she's human but dont worry its all fixed by the end, Cedric wants Oona's comb cos apparently thats more powerful than Sofia's amulet??? so he turns into a sea monster and captures Oona so Sofia doesnt have any allies to help her but her family Oh and Sofia doesnt recognise Cedric in sea monster form EVEN THOUGH HE AINT EVEN HIDING HIS VOICE OH MY GOD THIS EP'S A MESS

Holiday in Enchancia - 7/10

Its a typical Christmas episode but its a very low-key, cosy one. The fact the royals are spending the holiday with a peasant family and giving them all their presents is so sweet. Like this is just pure serotonin

Four's a Crowd - 9/10

We see Sofia's jealous side conflicting with her happiness to see Amber getting along with her own friends, which is really interesting. Also its nice to see Amber being friends with characters who aren't royalty.

#sofia the first

About my experience with Scooby Doo

Okey, if you have seen some of my fanart carefully, you may have noticed that...I'm a Scooby Doo fan. And honestly: who isn't? No matter in what year you were born, you pretty much grew up alongside (at least) one of the many- MANY series and movies from the Scooby Doo franchise. So, even if you are not really a *fan*, you certainly know about this famous gang with a talking dog and the *meddling kids* phrase is probably stuck on your head. Aaand so, as a fan, I just wanted to talk about my experience with some of stuff from this franchise!!

To be honest, my first REAL interaction with the franchise is...pretty blurry. Like, I honestly cant remember which one was the true beginning!! O__O But still, I can say a couple of guesses. First, I own a vhs of the *first* and one of the best Scooby Doo movies in existence: Scooby Doo on Zombie Island. When I saw this movie for the first time I was confused about why they were separated and other things so...I think I wasn't really aware of the gang before that?? Still, I really enjoyed this movie and it remains as one my favorites till this day (P.S: And surprisingly, I didn't get scared at all!? :o)

My second guess is that I saw an episode of the old series (one from the 60s to 90s) on TV one day, though...I cant really say what episode exactly, hehe.

Still, I (kind of) remember when I saw the first live action Scooby Doo movies for the first time! I think...before I saw the first movie, I already watched a scene from the second one, specifically: the one where the gang is knocking at the door of the *villain*s haunted house. Buuut well, back to the first one! I saw (the full movie) on TV one day and I really, REALLY loved it! It had some kind of charm and atmosphere which I can't really describe, but it caught me immediately!! And ooh boy, the Latin Spanish dub was incredibly funny!! XD This movie also remains as one of my favorites of all time!

It took a couple of years (but not really too long) for me to see the second movie. I also liked it, but not as much as the first one, which is curious, considering that aesthetically, this movie is more Scooby Doo like than the first one. Oh, and as a side note! I didn't ship Shelma back then. Actually, I didn't ship anyone inside the gang. I mean, I saw Fred and Daphne kissing and all but I didn't think much about it =__=

Years passed and I grew up seeing all the Scooby Doo animated movies that came year after year. Back then there was also the *What's new Scooby Doo?* series (which theme song still remains in my head), but aside from one or two episodes which I was lucky to see on TV, I couldn't see much of it. That's why the movies were my only Scooby Doo related entertainment.

More years passed and then it came out: Mystery Incorporated, one of the best (if not the BEST) Scooby Doo series of all time. Sadly, I wasn't really interested in it back then. I was in my teen years and since I had *grew up*, it would be very childish of me to watch a Scooby Doo show now. Still, I was lucky enough to watch some episodes on TV. One of the episodes I saw featured Shaggy and Velma as a couple and then I was like *Wait- they can date??*. I stood silent for a few moments, then I was like *Cool* and kept viewing the episode like noting. I still didn't think much of it, but the vision I had of their characters had already changed a little.

Some time later, I found a place where they sold DVDs and along the many of them, I found one with Scooby Doo movies which I hadn't see before. I bought it and then I finally got to see movies like *Scooby Doo and the witch ghost* for the first time. A few months later, I also found two DVDs with the two seasons of Mystery Incorporated, so I said *why not?* and bought them. And Oh-MY, I LOVED IT!! Sadly, the episodes weren't exactly in order and the second DVD didn't have all the episodes of the second season so, I couldn't finish it, but still, it was worth it! here, I kind of started to actually ship Shelma.

Many-MAAAANY years later (now in college), I finally got the chance to see the series as it was supposed to be, and I just have to say: I loved it even more! Although the series itself *broke* the ship, I still liked it and couldn't *move on* from it as I was supposed to...and so, here I am, still shipping it!

Aand finally, we come to the fanmade live action Scooby Doo series. I never heard or saw anything about this project until last year, when I stumbled upon the pilot on Youtube. I was curious so I watched it. I didn't have any expectations, but I was gladly surprised with what I saw. I had such a good time that I immediately showed it to my friends! And still now, I'm eagerly waiting for the next episode! (...While creating my own fantasies already, as you know XD)

One thing I wasn't sure when I was first sawing the pilot, was about Chris Villain, who takes the role of Shaggy in this series. As he have said, he doesn't look like Shaggy at all (physically speaking, of course), so I was a little out of place at the start...But as the minutes passed, I got to care and actually SEE this version of Shaggy functioning (it even made me cry at one point for how rough his situation is TT w TT). Now, he is definitely my favorite out of the cast (about both, actors, and characters) and I'm excited to see what else will come across him ^w^/

So yeah, as you can see, I ship Shelma in almost all its forms. It may not be the *right* ship for a lot of people, but I still like them and think they can work together as long as someone cares to do them right.

EXTRA:

To be honest, I NEVER saw the TV movies before. If it weren't that one day I stumbled upon them out of pure luck, I would probably continue to know nothing about these movies. At first, I didn't want to watch them because...lets be real: it didn't look good to me. The cast, the scenery, even Scooby look kind of weird. But well, I decided to give them a chance anyway. The first one was okey, nothing really extraordinary, but enjoyable still. The second was...*particular* to say the least (so much that I had to close my eyes out of embarrassment sometimes). Still, it was nice to know this version of their characters because I think they would be funny to work with!

Meggy I have no idea where this came from but it's just so perfect for our boy Miles that I cannot and will not pass it up (lol).

After Miles got out of the army he no doubt had trouble sleeping at night. It was a pain in the butt for the both of you, but you and his parents were willing to do whatever you could to help him get better. Sometimes at night when he'd wake up, you would switch on a movie but there wasn't really anything on except the old Scooby Doo cartoons and you were both kinda like "alright, we'll take it" (lol).

You were so surprised during your first year of living at the cottage on the ranch when Miles brought home a rather unexpected anniversary gift, a seven week old English Sheepdog puppy and my God was he the cutest little ball of floof you had ever seen!!! You and Miles had to pick a name for him and what else should Miles choose but "Shaggy" after his favorite cartoon character (lol).

You and Miles and the rest of the family can't get enough of Shaggy's antics. At Halloween he somehow manages to fit his entire body into a pumpkin that's like four times his size, but you and Miles can't resist snapping photos. When he gets bigger, Shaggy quickly earns his keep by herding the goats, sheep and other farm critters. You and Miles couldn't stop laughing one day when Shaggy came running back carrying one of the bunny rabbits by the scruff. Somehow, the little shit had gotten out of the hutch and tried to make his escape but that dog was the best pair of eyes you could have ever asked for.

And during the winter? Ooooh, Shaggy is the best bedwarmer ever!!! The cottage is older so it does get a little drafty even with the fireplace going and the woodstove as well but the minute Shaggy crawls into you bed and then gets up it's so toasty.

When you got pregnant with Benny, Shaggy became your personal bodyguard and wouldn't let you anywhere near the other critters because he was scared you'd get hurt. Miles would laugh because Shaggy was constantly sniffing your bump and trying to put his paw on it.

When Benny was finally born, Shaggy was one of the first family members to come and meet him. Miles would sometimes be sitting shirtless in the rocker with tiny little Benny and Shaggy would come to sniff him. Just like Six-Thirty, Shaggy would wake up the second Benny did and would come right to your shared bedroom to wake you or Miles.

When Benny got older and when Jesse had been born, Shaggy became Benny's best friend. Miles had caught the two one night in the window seat of the living room listening to the wolves howling and Benny and Shaggy would both howl together (lol).

Meggy it's not my longest thought but I meant to send this last night and ended up falling asleep before I could (lol).

ah Mary my darling! i can’t wait to read what you’ve sent in for our precious boy :,)

~ oh yes! i remember you bringing this up to me over our messages! i love the idea of wifey & Miles adopting a sheep dog & calling him Shaggy since that’s Miles’ favorite Scooby doo character🥹 that couldn’t be more perfect!

~ aww just picturing a little sheep dog fitting into a pumpkin during halloween time is so cute!! i love it! i could definitely see Shaggy being the certified herder of the critters out on their little farm too! haha the part about the bunny was so funny & sweet! could absolutely picture Shaggy as always being so alert & protective of not only wifey & Miles, but of the other animals too :,)

~ Shaggy would be the best bed warmer & bodyguard there ever was! especially when you’re pregnant. he would always keep watch for any suspicious visitors that may come onto the land & would stay at your feet day & night before baby arrives. i could even see Miles taking on the role of training Shaggy! he learns the basics of course, but also on how to be on high alert at all times & to be able to warn the two of you of any potential danger!

~ yes! i could see Shaggy being like Six-Thirty in that sense too. he’d wake you two up as soon as Benny even starts to stir while sleeping & would watch over his crib like a hawk! he’d of course watch over your bed too! he knows his job of being the family’s protector & he takes it very seriously! Shaggy becoming Benny’s best friend is sooo🥹 couldn’t be more adorable! i love the part where you mentioned Miles catching Benny & Shaggy howling out to the moon like wolves :) i could even picture Miles joining in on the fun too!!

Mary! these thoughts were so sweet & they made me smile 🥰 thank you for sending them in! like i’ve said many times, i seriously love reading them & getting to see the new amazing things you come up💗

☕️ + favorite scooby villain?

I put off answering this a day or so to see if I would remember any more scooby villains and I didn't so uhhhh here's a very incomplete list of some I enjoy watching in no particular order

Sarah Ravencroft (she's girlboss fr)

The Ghost Clown from WAY (idk hypnosis is fun)

The sister who pretends to be a green monster to shut down the theme park in WNSD. I just love how she asks about jail at the end and the gang are like ?????? Girl you didn't break any laws

Whoever the bad guy was in the toys in the mall episode of WNSD. (You can tell I'm getting a little off topic into my love for WNSD by the fact I can barely remember the villain who is apparently my favorite) Love the early WNSD mystery subversion by the way. WHEN THEY HAVE TO GO BACK BECAUSE THEY CAUGHT THE WRONG GUY????? That rocked my world as a child

HOW COULD I FORGET WHERES MY MUMMY VELMA I LOVE YOU. favorite scooby doo villain: velma dinkley for reals. Sometimes you just gotta let loose and create convoluted schemes that you don't share with your friends. It's #foragoodcause

Also shoutout here to every time the gang has pretended to be a monster either to scare their friends or give them a mystery to solve. This is often seen in birthday specials and stuff but it's still soooooo good

Joker & Penguin from the 70s "movies". They knew how to set up a good haunted house. Recent villains take notes

Also shoutout to the wnsd episode where the monkey did it. (I'm aware there's multiple, just go with it)

Actually if anything I'm turning this into a shoutout post for all the What's New episodes where they managed to pull a twist on the mystery to make it unique but yet still genuine to Scooby (and not giving off the feel like it's trying to be better or whatnot than the classic era). I hadn't thought about how well done that was in (specifically s1 but that's likely just what I remember best/when they had the freshest ideas) WNSD but that's a really underrated aspect of the series (and the movies). Like I think some kind of critique What's New for being "too simple" [plan lol] but I think the way they went about the formulation of each mystery so open-endedly really makes it timeless and unique.

Also so funny to me that you asked about my fave villain and I got so off-topic that this has become an appreciation post for the WNSD writers and im listing people whose names I can't even remember as "favorite villains" when really I just loved the mystery itself lol

#ANYWAYS thank you for the ask jayden!!!!!! #i got VERY distracted omg though 💀 #i just....... love scooby...... so much #again literally the second i saw this i forgot every villain ever. for me the villain is the part of the episode i care least about. like i #appreciate some style as much as anyone but its generally the gangs interactions the humor and the mystery that do it for me #the villain looking cool is good if there and the motivation really only matters to me if its funny or if they pull off a really good con #blah #answered #threephantomrey

[super-unpredictable98]

Can you do a oneshot of Vicky being jealous of Klaus flirting with a fan?🤧

Klaus' Type | The Umbrella Academy AU

Pairing: Klaus x Vicky (OC - The Eighth Child’ Verse)

Word Count: 1,2 k

Warning: Strong language, a little angst

a/n: Thank you so much for the request, I really hope you like it! Also, don't worry, other anons, I'm working on the next few requests.

(Masterlist)

It was a pretty average day for us. Another gang of bank robbers sent to jail and about twenty minutes of interviews to various channels. Vanya (Viktor, but at the time I didn't know that) and dad observed safely from a distance.

"We did nothing more than our duty, everyone in the city should know: as long as the Umbrella Academy is around, you are all safe," Luther smiled at the camera.

"Okay, Freddie..." I sneered quietly.

"Wait, what would that make us? Shaggy and Scooby-Doo?" Klaus asked with a snort.

"Yeah, I'm obviously Scooby 'cause Shaggy is the-" I nearly said the hot one. I remember having a crush on Shaggy when I was a kid, it kinda stuck with me.

"Stoner?" He nodded knowingly.

"Yeah."

"I bet Scooby never took as many bullets to the chest as you did back there, so..."

"Seance! Die Hard! How do you feel after saving the day once again?" A reporter asked.

"We feel great!" I answered, looking for the right camera to look at. "I think when we work as a team, even without our brother Horror, may he rest in peace, nothing can stop us. Right, Sea-Seance?"

I looked over at where he was, right next to me, but Klaus wasn't there anymore.

"I'm so sorry, my brother is like a puppy sometimes, you blink and he runs away," I laughed nervously. "Excuse me, I should find him and make sure he's okay."

Of course Luther and Allison would be able to distract the press while I looked for my brother (yes, it is very odd to call him that without at least adding slash lover at the end).

I wandered around for a few minutes before I heard his voice, when I turned my head he was leaning back against a wall and chatting with a short perky redhead who seemed to be about our age.

I should've called him right away, but that little voice inside my head wouldn't let me. I just carefully blended into the crowd to listen to the conversation. Before you judge me, I was only sixteen and in love!

"It must be hard to get out of the house with your dad and your siblings always there," the girl said, twisting the ends of her long hair. Could she be any more of a fucking cliche?

"Not really, I get out almost every night actually, but don't tell anyone," Klaus chuckled and I felt my blood starting to boil.

"So if we were to, I don't know, go out... You wouldn't have problems being there on time."

"Hmmm yeah, I guess for a girl as cute as you I can be punctual. Do you smoke? I'm pretty sure I could get some pot, some beer..."

"Yeah, sounds cool. I never expected the Seance to be such a bad boy!" Okay, that made me laugh. Klaus was bad, don't get me wrong, but bad boy is the last way I would describe him.

"Seance isn't, but you can call me Klaus," he drawled, taking off his domino mask.

"Oh my God! You have beautiful eyes! It's a crime to hide them behind that mask!"

"Aw, you're sweet... Danke!"

That was the straw that broke the camel's back and made my loathing for this preppy whore (again, we were kids, I was just really angry) overflow. German? Really? What a sly bastard! He was only allowed to be charming in German for me!

"Seance!" I called, marching towards them.

"Hey, Die Hard! This is my sister Vicky, Vicky this is Erica."

"And you just outed my real name, thanks..." I scoffed. "We were still doing press, you left me alone over there! Hi, Payton," I greeted her last to make sure she knew she was an afterthought.

"Her name is Erica," Klaus whispered.

"Sorry, Payton was the last one. I end up losing count, I'm sorry."

"OMG! Die Hard! Can I call you Vicky?" She squealed. "I'm such a big fan, you two are my favorites."

"First of all, no. Second of all, you clearly like him better than me..." I teased.

I didn't notice at the time, but Klaus (according to himself) had the biggest smirk on his face. He was obviously feeling like the king of the world. Two girls fighting over his attention? Who wouldn't want that?

Payton... or Erica gave him her number and we went home. Needless to say, I was quiet the entire time, I didn't even take my mask off in the car so he wouldn't see my eyes.

We listened to dad's notes on our performance and I went straight to my room. I put on my American Idiot CD and skipped to Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Yeah, I was an extremely dramatic teenager.

"Knock knock," Klaus called through the door.

"Fuck off!"

"Wow, Boulevard of Broken Dreams and telling me to fuck off? No one is safe," he opened the door and leaned against the doorframe.

"What do you want?" I rolled over on the bed to face him.

"My weed, can I get it?"

"Oh yeah of course, for your date..."

Klaus chuckled and closed the door before making his way to my dresser where his hidden stash was.

"So, what happened? You did great today, why are you so grumpy?"

As if he didn't know. He just wanted to hear me say it.

"Nichts," I scoffed.

"Is it just me or you don't really like Erica?"

"It's just you."

"That's a relief... She wants me to teach her German-"

The look I gave him made Klaus burst out laughing, that little shit. He knew exactly what he was doing and I was falling for it.

"When did you become a teenage boy? You're all assholes!" I groaned. "You wanna smoke weed and teach her German? I don't care, just spare me the details."

"You're cute when you get angry, you scrunch up your nose like that," he giggled. "I'm just messing with you, she wasn't my type, too preppy."

"You seemed interested."

"Yeah, I like flirting, it's fun. If I went on dates with everyone I flirt with, I'd be booked for the next one hundred years. I do want my weed cause I thought we could smoke and get some doughnuts later. Would you like that, Schnucki?"

I wanted to smack him, tell him to take a hike and never show up in my room again. He was totally trying to make me jealous! And for what? He didn't even like me (or so I thought at the time).

"I'll think about it," I said instead.

"Don't think too long, I get lonely at night," he whispered before heading to the door. He looked over his shoulder and blew me a kiss. "I thought you knew I'm not that into redheads. I like brunettes better."

enabler anon strikes again with a …. non-fic related question? woah! it’s still gonna be a ramble for you though, so i hope it works out either way :3

what’s your favourite / least favourite ninjago season, why? you can add multiple if you can’t specifically choose! (this is me getting to know you so we become mutuals when i scooby doo mask-reveal myself)

Okay, neat word choice - we "become" mutuals? Which either means I follow YOU, you follow ME, or we are forcibly going to follow EACH OTHER at some point? This is getting INTERESTING. Yeowch.

Anyway: I've got a couple for Various Reasons!

Skybound should be obvious - sure, it's not of the highest/most consistent quality, but it is a GOLDMINE for analysis work. The nice thing about loose threads, gaping holes, and inconsistencies is they open up a LOT of avenues for expansion and investigation. I show up to every Skybound viewing with a shovel, ready to dig from rock bottom... but you know that already, I hope.

When I want something that's a lot more solid, I tend to turn to Seabound! I absolutely ADORE Kalmaar (as nice as it is to have a villain with a well-crafted backstory and motive, sometimes it's just fun to have someone who's nuts for no particular reason!) and you know I love a Nya focus. Sure, this season has issues like any other, but I found that it is solid enough to stand on its own when I want something that's just pure good storytelling. Also, it's the only season that has EVER made me cry. Zane's death didn't do it. Garmadon's sacrifice got half a sniffle. Even Nya's original Skybound fake out barely got me, but that eulogy scene.... eugh. I still remember the first time I watched it, actually. I had just gotten back from class and I was wearing all black that day, and the very first thing I did was sit down on my bed and watch it. It was like a little private funeral in my room. Very surreal.

I've also fallen in love with Dragons Rising s1! Besides the obvious Skybound acknowledgement and VERY strong evidence for a future djinn-lore-expanding installment (they can't do all THAT and just leave it!!!! no!!!! we're getting something!!!), it's also just pure fun! Something about it just makes me smile. I didn't expect to like it as much as I ended up enjoying it, but I like the balance of ringing in the new and building on the first 12 years of lore.

As for my least favorites - this is going to get me kicked outta the fandom, but I'm really not fond of the Oni Trilogy. At all. To be fair, I respect how tightly woven it is, but it felt like they were trying to shoehorn in a lot of lore at once, and it just doesn't work for me now. I loved it the first few times around, but something about it just feels weird and overblown now. And the piss jokes. I can't stand toilet humor, so whenever I see Dareth in OT, I just. Yuck. Also, I respect Harumi as a VERY well-built villain (we love erratic teenage girl behaviors and the consequences of earlier seasons), but she just grates on me. Mystake kicked ASS, though. Gone too soon. I want to make a replica of her cardigan someday.

I'm also not fond of Hands of Time, but that's more because of the quality of it - it's really so bad it's good. Hatewatch material at its finest.

thanks for dropping in!!!

Top 30 Films of the Year (via my Letterboxd)

I wanted to do something for Christmas that was both a summary and also something a little different from the stuff I already write, and seeing as I record pretty much every movie that I watch on my Letterboxd, then I figured I may as well write about it a little on here. In no particular order, my top 30, the perfect Christmas treat if you're trying to find a little movie to give your family some Christmas cheer.

Charade (1963)

This film is if you imagine House of Gucci except for it's a bunch of blokes trying to frame and murder each other and one of them has stolen the heart of Audrey Hepburn. This film mixes both humour and drama perfectly, and you can play a fun game where you can take a shot for every plot twist in the film. Letterboxd says I rated it 4/5 so that means I recommend it.

Uncut Gems (2019)

I watched this movie for the first time the day that I'd sent off my pcr test to find out if I had Covid (I did) so watching this was an absolute whirlwind after overdosing on cough syrup and laying in bed with a fever. This movie was the first time I'd ever seen Julia Fox in anything which is cool and that pimped out Furby.... I think about him a lot. I rated this 4 stars on Letterboxd so another recommendation.

Scooby Doo (2002)

No, not the movie where Velma wears the latex suit, the first movie. I feel like every Scooby Doo movie is just as chaotic and pretty much the same which is why I probably can't remember the plot to this. I was even more confused to read my Letterboxd review which just says 'i like the bit when mr bean turns into an oompa looma'. 5 stars though.

The Lighthouse (2019)

Truth be told, I hated this movie and my flatmates were very upset to learn that I didn't like it. It becomes funnier when you have the Vine boom noise playing in a video behind it though, it's like having an extra jumpscare. Sorry film bros, I just couldn't hack it. I rated it 0.5 stars meaning it was one of two of the lowest scoring films on my Letterboxd.

Jumbo (2020)

This movie is very French, and if you've watched enough French movies then you will know exactly what I mean by this. Without spoiling the plot too much, this is about a young woman who falls in love with a fairground ride. Very French core. You'll have to watch the rest of the movie to find out how that romance goes. This was given a 4 star rating.

American Psycho (2000)

Do I like this movie or do I just like all the memes that have come with this movie? In terms of a fairly recent cult classic, this is the correct type of movie, but I was even more surprised to learn that the Reddit dreamboat character doesn't own any branded knives, despite the amount of money he has. I rated this a solid 3.5 stars. Solid, like the film plot.

Norbit (2007)

I don't understand why there are so many copies of this movie on the shelves of CEX, it's a bit of an underrated masterpiece really. Put the heroin chic style fatshaming jokes aside, I actually find some of it pretty funny. Mostly the church scene at the end. Rated this 5 stars because I would buy every copy on the shelves.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)

As far as a pre-origin story goes to the original show, I think this really hits the nail on the head. It's not the story that we wanted, it's the story we needed. The random appearance from David Bowie was a bit out of this world, like the whole movie. Though I think I need to finish watching The Return and then come back to this movie so everything starts to make a little bit more sense. A solid 3 star rating, though it'll probably go up the next time I've seen it.

Macross: Do You Remember Love? (1984)

Another movie that is based on a narrative from a TV show, except you don't need to watch the show to go straight on to the movie. If you're a fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion and you're feeling a little bit feminine then this is the thing for you. Space girl sings and space things happen. Another 3 star rating.

Paul (2011)

My Letterboxd review reads; 'they did something. i'm not sure what,,, but they did something' and I think that's all I need to say about whether or not I recommend this. 2 stars.

Boiling Point (2021)

If you're British and you've ever worked in hospitality then this is the film that you'll just get. I loved this film. Angry swearing man, lots of people doing gear and an absolute shitshow from start to finish. Gave this a hard 4.5 stars and would recommend to anyone.

The Love Witch (2016)

Aesthetically wise, this has to be one of the nicest movies out there. Taking lots of inspiration from the 60s both in looks and also the overall vibe of the movie. The problem being, the plot feels a little bit empty. It's wonderful in terms of how feminist it is, but that's really all it has going for it. Another solid 3 star film.

The Gentlemen (2019)

I was minding my own business popping into the coffee shop I always go to on my days off when Raz asked me what my favourite film was at the moment; he then proceeded to lecture me because I hadn't seen this and sent me home as homework to watch it. I did. I'll tell you what, it was so worth it. The cast line up is incredible and the plot is just as solid. Proper man film full of classic laughs. Loved it. Gave it a nice 3.5 star rating.

Decision To Leave (2022)

This was the film that I'd told Raz was my favourite at the time. I'd just gone to see it in the cinema and it was just as dark and gripping as I would expect it to be. The subplot aligns with the main plot wonderfully to create a rather depressing ending. 4 stars.

The Interview (2014)

It's a Seth Rogan movie, you probably know how this one is going to go. I used to really like this film a good few years ago, but watching it back this year, I realised the only funny part was Kim Jong-Un riding around to Fireworks in his tank. I gave this a three star rating which is probably a little bit too nice.

Starstruck (2010)

Imagine you're the dude that played Chad Dylan Cooper on Sonny With a Chance and Disney asked you to play some blonde heartthrob dude for an upcoming tween movie they had in mind. This was the end result. The soundtrack features some bangers and the whole film is just full of feelgood vibes. Can't really go wrong here. I rated it 2.5 stars purely based on it being a Disney movie. The plot isn't great, but boy is it fun.

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

The easiest way to explain this movie is that it's an Adult Swim classic except it has nothing to do with Adult Swim. Slapstick humour, autism and bad dancing all curate the wonderful comic masterpiece that is Napoleon Dynamite. Remember to vote for Pedro. 4 stars.

Suspiria (1977)

What I really love about this film is that it really doesn't make much sense at all. In fact, it's one of those films that didn't need to be made, but I'm really glad it did. It mixes really bad sound editing so you can't hear what anyone is saying and when you can hear the actors speak, it's because they've dubbed over the original lines because when it was filmed you couldn't hear what they were saying. The colours and the overall setting is magical and insane and for that reason I loved this movie. 4 and a half stars for a pioneering woman horror classic.

Her (2013)

The Joker falls in love with robot lady, or the infamous Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). Except this is a very heartfelt story and might actually leave a tear in your eye after watching. Feels like watching a sappy episode of Black Mirror. I rated this 4 stars because I loved the movie enough to buy a physical copy of it.

The Tinder Swindler (2022)

I mean yeah that happened. The only reason I watched this was because Don't Fuck With Cats was made so well,,,, I was left majorly whelmed by this documentary. I gave this three stars for pity on all the lovely ladies he swindled. (don't even think this counts as a movie really).

Contagion (2011)

This movie was far too ahead of its time to be made. I don't need to explain the synopsis to this movie because we already lived through it. My grandma hated living through covid, but she sure loved watching this movie. 4 stars.

The Worst Person In The World (2021)

Just wanted to ask which one of the three main characters was the worst person in the world because they were all equally as bad as each other. I rated this 5 stars and I think if you haven't watched this already, then you should.

Little Joe (2019)

Little Joe could have been one of the most interesting films in the world if the director had decided to not ensure most of the film was just filler. This felt like it was a good 40 minutes too long and literally nothing happened for the last hour. The concept of this film is really cool, but it is like watching a really shit episode of Black Mirror, I rated this 2.5 stars.

The Pacifier (2005)

If you've ever thought about the idea of having Vin Diesel as your personal home counsellor then you've come to the right place. There's lots of scenes of this man both screaming and also saving lives. It's a movie you can both laugh to and also have on as background noise while you take a nap. 4 stars.

In Bruges (2008)

They're filming midgets. 4 stars for the midgets being filmed.

Borat (2006)

Made during the days where Sacha Baron Cohen was still pretty funny and not just using any form of slightly racist joke to make a person laugh. Borat sometimes almost feels like a loveable character. Bonus points for Pamela Anderson as Pamela Anderson. 3 stars.

Personal Shopper (2016)

This film feels like Kristen Stewart begging you to watch her in a movie that isn't Twilight to prove to you that she can act and that she has more than one facial expression. As it turns out, she still only has one facial expression and I find it hard to feel any form of emotion to her character at any point. I gave this a friendly three stars.

Bratz: Fashion Pixiez (2007)

Did anyone ever notice in the film that Cymbeline's dad was pretty much the same model as Fiona's dad in Shrek? I bet you didn't. Now you'll have to rewatch the film again to find that. As far as mid goes, this is the most mid Bratz film out there, the only cool thing is their outfits and that is why it was given a 5 star rating. Vibes only.

Zoolander (2001)

I'll be real with you here. This is not the movie I expected to be writing about, this movie is the last minute thrill of the year. The whole year, my TikTok has been graced with videos of Patrick Bateman with the sigma male captions underneath them, until about literally 5 days ago. My fyp plagued with that one clip of Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson pouting at each other on the red carpet. I knew I had to go back and watch the film. This is a break the scale rating of a film honestly. So many random people in it. George Costanzas dad, Paris Hilton and ,,,, David Bowie. Loved this.

Death Becomes Her (1992)

This film has got to be one of the most camp films out there, When I decided to watch this film, the plot was something I was not expecting at all, but boy were they all so real for this. Humour and discussion of women and their insecurities all perfectly blended into one. My Letterboxd review reads, 'this film made me cut my ingrown chin hair off, thanks Meryl Streep' and if that doesn't convince you to watch the film, then I don't know what will.

Well there you have it. I think this list is a perfect compilation of movies. Ones for the family, movies to scream to, movies to fall asleep to. But most of all, no matter what happens this Christmas, there is at least one movie in this list that will match the exact vibe of how it went with your family. And finally, as Gossip Girl says,,,, have a happy jolly holiday. Xoxo, Gossip Girl.

Hi. Maybe this is a bit too personal. I don't know. I'm being forced into a context in which I'm going to be surrounded by antis. I know some of them are just genuinely believing the official story. And some of them just think "Taylor would never be a dirty gay", whether they're aware that's their motivation or not.

And it... sucks. I wanted to ask you. When you're emotionally upset, what helps you? How do you deal? Do you have a strategy? Advice? I'm tired lately and the stuff that I usually could weather affects me more. And I don't know how to handle it, this time. It's not about Taylor. It's not even specifically about homophobia. It's just about when you feel like if this was a movie this would be the time for the crying on the couch montage, you know ?

I hope it's okay that I asked this.

i went a little freeform with my answer, i hope you don’t mind! also this is what i do but i really think that it’s gonna depend on who you are as an individual (your personality etc). hopefully some parts resonate for you though! and i hope some people share in the comments their thoughts as well because it’s a feeling we have all shared.

i’m writing this assuming by antis you mean you will be in mixed company with people that strongly believe taylor is Not Gay, though somehow i get similarly impassioned when it comes to other groups of people on this venn diagram.

there was a certain time on my journey here where i came to the conclusion that each person will have to find their way to taylor’s truth on their own, and for some people it’s just going to take far longer. and so i try to sit back and appreciate how rare it is and how happy i am to have come to this conclusion at this point in my life.

i remember during lover era, specifically after the yntcd video came out, even seeing a few choice swiftie accounts with a heavily anti edge (accounts known for sending and directing hate to lowercase g gaylors) suddenly begin backpedaling a bit and even making room in their words for the interpretation that she might like women in addition to men.

it was such a wild time… and it gave us a peek, i think, into how things might unfold more completely… someday…

personally i think that scene in miss americana, the one where she talks about the parade in ME! including everything that makes her her, like ***gay pride*** , is all the unequivocal information you need to understand that you are on the right side of history on this one.

with the advent of tiktok, and seeing various young lgbt voices talk about how it’s kind of ingenious how taylor managed to come out only to the people who want to hear it, has given me a sense of hope that this process is long but it’s one that’s moving toward a day when we won’t have to find ourselves in so many of the situations that you describe.

of course it hasn’t been a simple path… we had the back and forth situation with betty, for example, and other moments which have felt like one step forward two steps back. it does hurt, especially when the people you talk about having to hang out with are people you consider your peers or even friends. to feel such a dissonance with people who on other levels you might consider sisters or friends with otherwise shared values.

i myself have revealed too much of my thinking to a few real people in my life and while none of them are anti per-se, i have had to handle looking like a chronically online person to some of those that i love. but i’ve found ways to brush it off and make it a running joke. pulling out the old scooby doo villain voice and going “just you all wait! one day i *will* be vindicated” or like “yeah lmao it’s my one unhealthy preoccupation and it’s AMAZING” or “these are my problematic faves yes, and what are yours??” in other words i try to own it.

but if you’re in one of those situations where you just want to go incognito, or for those teary main character moments on the couch with a glass of whisky or wine, what i have found works for me is taking solace in the notion that you’re on to *something* with this, and that this is something that’s not only special, but has affected your life in positive ways. maybe it’s expanded the way you’ve thought about the world, or maybe it has given you moments of wonder or awe, or motivation to go out there and contribute a little bit more to society in hopes for a brighter future. i know all these things sound abstract but i think it’s important to find ways to treasure what *gestures broadly* all this has meant for you on your life path. beautify it in your mind.

not to turn this into a “maybe kaylor was about the friends we made along the way” type of sentiment but i for one am super grateful for many of the friendships that have come out of this, that have really enriched my adult life. i’ve also become more observant and overall just more agile at finding commonalities and connecting things and in some ways it’s made me a more efficient and creative person in my profession. my views on life and love and marriage and other big ticket concepts have also been enriched by everything that has transpired. when i’m down in the dumps about something or a lack of something i try and find these kinds of things to be grateful for, and it centers me and i find a happiness there. it’s a happy mess.

this is what i found works for me anyways.

#sending you much love!

Hello, I'm still new to the whole wider concept of age regression and things like that. I'm trying to learn more about it, and about the whole little space. I would always prefer to actually ask someone directly instead of just blindly Googling. I hope this is okay to ask, & of course no pressure if you don't want to answer, but how did you figure out you were a little? What do you wish was more understood about being a little?

I don't think I'm a little, but I do certainly have far more stuffed animals than any 30 year old needs, lol. I am also an anxiety sufferer though & sometimes there is definitely that pull of wanting to disappear into myself. Into my, for lack of better words, unjaded child self. Wanting to be taken care of. I have no idea if that makes sense, but I figured it might help to share a bit of my own self since I'm asking you to share.

Thank you in advance if you decide to answer. I also really like your Nemo story. It's still one of my Disney favorites ❤️

HI! I totally get wanting to ask someone instead of just googling, and I’m a totally open book when it comes to regression! My “How I knew I was a little” can be found here, in short I struggle with Tourette’s quiet a bit, at one time the dissorder was really overwhelming and I slowly found comfort in colouring children’s colouring books, ones I had as a kid, I also then suffered some serious memory loss and now only remember my traumatic childhood memories, so regressing has helped me feel like being a child wasn’t so scary, and has helped me build some good memories in the headspace of a child, since I’ve lost all of mine, and has actually helped me seemingly uncover some of those memories I once had.

I think something I wish more people knew was that age regression is not related to sexual age play, it a very common misconception and can be very harmful to the community. Regressors often regress for many reasons, some being. One, people, like me, regress to create happy memories in a childlike headspace because we don’t have any, or don’t remember any good ones, we are trying, subconsciously or consciously to reclaim our childhood in a positive light. Two, people regress because they had good childhoods and want to go back to that happiness and joy that they once felt. Three, people are under a lot of stress in their every day lives, whether that’s taking care of others, taking care of themselves, doing strenuous activity’s, working too hard, and just want to find joy without all of those responsibilities, and want to be taken care of because they need a break. There are also so many other reasons people regress, those are just the most common ones in my opinion. But we don’t do it in a sexual way, like age players, and I think that that is something I despise the most when it comes to misunderstandings of our community.

Also I wish people knew it wasn’t like a pinterest board, not everyone likes pink, not everyone wears skirts and pony tails, and I wish more people got over their need of aesthetics and allowed us, and themselves to regress how we/they want to. I mean I wear a metallica hoodie when regressed, have the funkiest looking homemade stuffed animal and watch scooby doo when regressed, something I’ve never seen on pinterest, and I wish more people knew that they don’t have to fit a set aesthetic to be a regressor, because that is something that so many stress about.

Also I totally get what your saying about your anxiety and wanting to escape from that, I have a raging anxiety disorder and life can get so stressful, sometimes you just need to snuggle up and enjoy the less stressful things in life like a kids movie, I’m not gonna sit here and ‘diagnose’ you as a regressor, because you could totally just be someone who enjoys simple things sometimes without regressing into another headspace, so don’t feel pressure (I don’t know if you do, I just want to make sure you don’t) to come up with a conclusion on if you are a regressor or not, if you enjoy the age regression fics and a good kids movie, enjoy it, you’re welcome here any time whether you are or are not an age regressor! I do hope any of this answered something, I do feel like it might be a bit ranty and random, please feel free to ask any more questions any time, or message me if you want to talk to someone, I’m an open book and my message doors are wide open if you need anything! <3

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 48

The Kids Are Alright/Love & Monsters

“The Kids Are Alright”

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: this is why the only craft I do is cross stitch (not true). Sure I pricked my finger on a needle today, but at least my BUZZSAW DIDN’T CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH MY CHEST FROM MY BACK. Try getting me now, evil spirit/demon/whatever

This is one of those ways Dean and I are vastly different. I don’t know what I’d be doing if I knew I had a year left, but it wouldn’t be this…sex road-trip. This isn’t a judgement. Well, it’s a little bit of a judgement but more based on the fact that he’s picking places to investigate based more on girls in the area that he’s slept with than validity of paranormal activity.

I forgot there was a moment when Dean thought he might have a son.

Omg these women gossiping about Dean is hilarious…WHILE HE’S IN EARSHOT

Like, there is every indication that this kid isn’t even Lisa’s. He just spawned from Dean

Omg changelingsssssss. That’s what’s going on in this episode

They’re trying entirely too hard with the “badass strong female character” trope here. She doesn’t speak like a PERSON. It’s “im the girl who just saved your ass” and stealing Sam’s fries only to go “these things are like *crack.* try some!” I want to like her and I probably did the first time I watched

Oh…omg it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that that woman’s ex husband died but is her neighbor and friend really trying to talk to her about selling his house already?

This kid is too funny. Ok…Dean at THIS point would not be a good dad. Just wouldn’t be teaching his kid the right way to go about things of what he taught Ben was “if he doesn’t give you your game after asking, kick him in the nards.” Sure he could learn (he being Dean), but it would take a long time

Okay. Here’s the thing. I know this woman’s been through a lot and that that’s not really her daughter, but…there’s something about the practicality of it all. Like…how does she move on from here? (Context: she just rolled her car with the changeling pretending to be her daughter into a river? Lake? Whatever) what do you do? How go you face your—girl, you just lost your car for nothing.

Mmmmmm Ben’s already been taken. Damn.

So how DO you get this whole upper middle class neighborhood to be okay with torching a bunch of supernatural beings who look like their kids? Even if……OH THE REALTOR IS LIKE THE HEAD CHANGELING (oh but in a way that she’s also been taken) anyway, even if you convince all of the parents (unlikely) that they exist…unless it’s a “kill the source, kill the rest” which of course it is

Oh…Sam doing all this research into what happened to Mary’s family and friends is heartbreaking. Especially having to do it alone and on the orders(-ish?) of someone he doesn’t know and barely trusts (if he trusts Ruby at all). I’m frustrated for him.

Forgot Ruby is a demon…

“Been On My Mind…”: I’m starting to think the person who complained about the lack of “hot chicks the Winchesters would hook up with” in later seasons only watched this one.

“Love & Monsters”

When I say I wish I could skip this one I mean it. I’ll power through it but don’t expect much…

Supernatural has the Ghost Facers, Sherlock’s got the Sherlock Survived Truthers (I can’t remember what they call themselves), and Doctor Who has…these guys…

The scooby doo chase sequence is a fun touch

This guy WISHES he was Wilf Mott

Mmmmmmmmmm…can’t blame him for liking Mr Blue Sky

I also can’t separate that actress from her role in Fandom That Shall Not Be Named. Sorry to this actress

Ugh…this dude ruined their whole found family vibe

The storytelling isn’t so bad, I suppose. With the exception of the additional of Victor Kennedy…

This version of Unbreak My Heart fading in and out of the background is fucking hilarious

Oh oh OH JACKIEEEEEE

No no no no not Mr Skinner tooooooo.

Yeah….from here on out I just fucking hate it……..

Literally why would anyone write this plot???

Mmmm makes sense that this alien from the Slitheen’s twin planet

if the chemist was present during expiration date or the comic run, what would they be doing?

oh man I just remembered I got distracted and never actually finished watching expiration date and should probably do that lol, thankfully due to the wonders of technology you don't have to wait for me to take an hour to watch a 14 minute video cause my brain is evil

anyways- Chem doesn't really... have much in life as a result of leaving home at 17 and being kind of a drifter, no close friends no family who want to talk to him, I imagine he's got one of those old box vans with shag carpeting and a little sleep area in the back and not much else. No one to call and only a few days left to live? His first impulse would be to get absolutely stoned out of his mind and watch the stars in the middle of the desert. Not like he has anyone to call who'd want to hear from him. but it would also be really funny for him to be sitting in on spy and scouts whole dating training mission giving just insane advice like telling scout to give miss pauling a rock, ladies love when you give them cool rocks! Chem does genuinely like scout and feels sort of brotherly to him and is actually trying to offer good advice, but things that work on weird hippy girls are not going to work on miss pauling lol and then spy kicks him out for being stupid and he goes and gets high in the desert

I think the funniest option for him during the comics would be to somehow accidentally end up the head of a cult and instantly abandon ship when the others find him and ask for him to come back, but he's really a follower not a leader. I could see him writing a weird self help nonsense book, but you know that scene at the start of the live action scooby doo movie? Where scooby and shaggy are living in the mystery machine on a beach? I think Chem would probably end up living in his van on a beach somewhere, trying his absolute damnest not to get suckered into a new cult cause he's too sad about loosing his weird murderous friend group to want to get wrapped up in a new group so soon, it's just not the same :'( anyways he would be so happy when his old friends came back either way! poor guy just needs some stability in his life rip

My Thoughts On The Velma Show (And Don’t Misinterpret)

even if there are some Scooby-Doo fans that don’t like the show, but there is still a possibility that some will.

and there could be different reasons why some might not like the show, and yeah anyone would be not happy with Velma using the whole “rich white person” line, but to counter point, she ain’t the only fictional character that has used that line and if I remember correctly it was a Heroine of I think it was the Marvel Comics, that used the same line about a “rich white guy”....

oh and let’s not forget, that there is that whole thing that can be said in real life too, so in theory I think it is possible while the Velma Show does show a more mature side and could possibly show Scooby-Doo later on, like him possibly becoming a part of the gang much later on in future episodes (which is just my guess and theory that could happen.) but not sure if that will happen or not...

and yeah, I know that Velma from the new series, has some trauma that is so bad that she ends up hallucinating, and I’m not sure if that can happen to someone in real life, that a very bad trauma that has happen to them to the point where they end up hallucinating, but I guess I could look it up sometime to see if it is possible.

I think I would rather wait and see if I really like or might dislike the Velma Show, maybe if there will be future episodes, I can see how it goes.

but if I had to choose between watching Velma Show on a Marathon or Spongebob Squarepants on a Marathon....

I would pick the Velma Show, because of the experience I had some year or so ago, when a broken Marathon of Spongebob kept playing the same episodes over and over again, and calling it a “Marathon”....

it was heck for me, and I really couldn’t stand it, whoever was running the Spongebob Marathon had kind of ruin it for me, and I think it did take a while for me to even stand to watch a little Spongebob again.

 I guess I might still like that show a little, but whoever was running the Marathon wasn’t doing a good job because they kept showing the same episodes over and over, without making sure it changed to the other episodes.

the same episodes are okay every once in a while, but that Spongebob Marathon that went on before, was still broken and hardly even showed any of the other episodes.....I think it went on for month.

anyway I think I will try to wait and see if I really like or dislike the Velma Show.

I also hope that the price for Coca-Cola goes back to normal, along with the other pops.....or I am still gonna have thoughts of wanting to punch Mammon.

 for the most of the day, I had the thoughts of wanting to punching him, and I guess while not thinking about that, I was playing video games or watching stuff on youtube.

anyway I think I will sign off and sign back on in a few hours or tomorrow.

and maybe once I do sign back in, I can check out more fan art on here.

also I can’t be the only one who found a Asari in the Mass Effect game, that seems to have human hands, seems to be Caucasian.

and that Asari doesn’t just appear in Mass Effect 1, she also pops up in Mass Effect 2 apparently, if you use that camera mode in Mass Effect 1 in Mass Effect Legendary at that place where you talk with the Council, you can use it to go check that one Asari at that balcony, and you will see her hands aren’t blue.

and surprisingly she appears again in Mass Effect 2, cause in that one bar in Mass Effect 2, she seems to be talking to a Turian.

there must be a reason, like maybe there being a very big secret...?

or it could just be a glitch, I’m not sure.

anyway, once again I’m gonna try to wait to see if I really like or dislike the Velma Show and maybe do some form of research to see what some fans of Scooby-Doo.

it also seems kind of silly, that Fred is always paired up with both Daphne and Velma, while Shaggy and Scooby is always left by themselves.

I mean Fred could go with Shaggy and Scooby once in a while, or Velma could go with Shaggy and Scooby once in a while as well.

I guess I can’t help but question it, I’m not sure if I have before but I am now.

and I guess other fans have starting to question that as well, and I guess there could still be those rare moments when Velma does go with Shaggy and Scooby when they split up.

 I don’t know if I’m the only one who finds it silly and a bit odd that the whole time the classic show as on, they always had Fred go with both Velma and Daphne when they split up, well it seems that way, maybe I should look it up and see if it always happen.

anyway see ya later and stay safe everyone, I’m going to do some reading before I go to bed...     

one more thing, please do not reblog this without my permission, and I did make sure to put the tag on for this.

Let’s Talk About Coconut Fred

I wouldn't say its been a while since I did a review, but there is a considerable gap between this and my last. A lot is happening in my life, I'm set to finish my last term in grad school this Sunday, I'm waiting for an update on a part time job and I'm gonna celebrate by binging some movies on Tubi and YouTube, and since I'm facing some writers block on my last assignment, I figured I'd vent about something.

Remember Coconut Fred: Fruit Salad Island? Me neither. It was that year I moved into a new house, at that point I was just watching Cartoon Network and never really had a reason to watch KidsWB. First I ever heard of it was by chance when I was googling KidsWB's program list, long before this show became a whipping boy of some degree.

I'll get into a contributing factor to me making this review later, but for now, back then I saw at least two episodes in full, Bad Apple, and something about a tropical resort. I had some experience with the show, and I still feel like there's little to show for it. But let's get right into it.

What is?

The mid-2000s saw a small rise in shows with overly optimistic main characters in summery or tropical settings, ballpark to around 2004 when the SpongeBob movie was released, or perhaps when the show was at its peak, before it killed everyone's brains. It's not definite, but imagine if other creators assumed the show was gonna end after the movie, and they wanted to create the next big thing to fill the hole set to be left, a lot of faces would go red over the hindsight.

The show is credited to two creators, Don Oriolo and Sammy Oriti, with development credited to Ray DeLaurentis. Oriti has a very thin filmography, to say the least. He is tied to two obscure films, and this is the only cartoon he ever worked on. Oriolo has a more interesting past, having worked on Campfire Stories, a cheap horror anthology which is notable for being where Charlie Day met Rob McElhenney, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

However, Oriolo does have some experience with animation, primairly working on The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat and other stuff relating to the property. Oriti and Oriolo do have a big connection, where Oriti was given a special thanks on Felix the Cat Saves Christmas. Oriolo was also behind I Am a Gummy Bear, the music video and the movie. So, quite an oddball pair and one has dirtier hands than the other.

They conjured up a concept and pitched it to someone in the business, in this case, Ray DeLaurentis, and what has he done? Well aside from some work on the 80s revival of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Providence, he created and wrote the Bubsy pilot, was a common writer on the later seasons of Fairly Odd Parents, wrote at least one episode for Bunsen is a Beast, also wrote for Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get a Clue, whatever was wrong with it, oh yeah, and he wrote Bah Humduck!, the worst Christmas Carol adaptation of all time.

On the upside he has also worked on Xaolin Showdown and Ozzy and Drix, among other stuff that may be considered decent. It seems beforehand he had worked at Warner Bros. Animation hence how this landed in KidsWB's crosshairs.

What makes this show interesting is that it features both American and Canadian voice actors. Our lead is played by Rob Paulsen, keep that in mind, and I believe one character was played by Danny Cooksey. For the rest, we have Michael Donovan, who has gone between American and Canadian productions, Brian Drummond, the first voice of Knuckles the Echidna, Tracey Moore, one point Princess Peach as well as The Geek from Sam and Max: Freelance Police, Kelly Sheridan, who played Diana in Martin Mystery, Britt McKillip, who played Hannah in the Scary Godmother movies, and lastly Eric Bauza, who just two years prior played Stimpy in Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon, and would later lent his voice to Slab in Cans Without Labels, the final nail in the coffin for John Kricaflusi. He's also in far too much stuff to mention. He was once based in Canada, only appearing on Adult Party Cartoon because one of the studios behind the animation was based in that country, and the rest is somehow history.

What About?

This is a comedy involving an overly optimistic and naive coconut attempting to spice up life on a tropical island full of living fruits, and of course one guy will have none of it. It seems every episode operates in a bubble, nothing occurring being of any consequence in another.

The first episode I saw, I forgot the title of, and... it wasn't anything to write home about. It helped introduce me to most key characters, for however basic they are. Not even something made for kids in mind, but are you telling me three dimensions is too mature for children? I'm just saying.

However, it was when I saw another episode that things went south, and I became better acquainted to Fred's brand of annoyance, either that or I saw how weak the writing of the show could be. Latter first, they incorporated a running gag where a bully calls Fred a mean name, but it turns out there is an existing character with that name and Fred assumes that's who he's referring to. The former, it's how Fred goes about carrying out the jokes, naivety can only get you so far, and the only way its constant use can work is if the character happens to be aware of it and is just using it to get a rise out of people. I'm just saying, regardless of it being a TV show sometimes you go through something so many times you attempt to rationalize it so you can justify the time you wasted.

But cards on the table, that was the last episode I saw in full, I gave up on a third one and years later, someone did a review of the show.

That's really all I can say about the show, it's annoying and there's no nuance to it, the plots are too weak to hold over flat personalities, likely dumbed down for a lack of true thought, owed to pedigrees of mediocre productions, or in two instances, having little connection to the medium at all. However, that isn't to say a cartoon is automatically going to suck if someone involved has no experience, but that really only applies to writers.

For instance, there's an episode of CatDog, Sneezie Dog, whose writer only had credits to live-action productions, and that episode was decent. There's a Hey Arnold! episode, Magic Show, written by a novelist who had no other experience with cartoons. It can be done, but it depends on what you're bringing to the table.

This is basically the opposite of Mike, Lu and Og, as in compared to another show set on an island that is considered mediocre at best, this is worse than that. Mike, Lu and Og at the very least had more experienced animators and artists, or maybe I'm trying to say something nice about it before the influx of negative reviews bury it, and because I did a review of it that's now lost to time.

But to give a proper summary, this show is like a beehive on a tree well out of walking range. It isn't doing anything, and interacting with it is always gonna be consequential.

But that's not why we're here

There's a bigger reason why I decided to make this, and why it's classified as a "Let's Talk About" rather than a review. There has been an ongoing stigma against this show, which to this day I still don't understand. This is apparently a rip-off of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Now, look, I'm probably the last person who would ever consider something a rip-off. Hell, I unironically watch Irate Gamer and consider AVGN to be overrated and overprotected, why else do people suddenly not have the time to watch a documentary detailing a decline in quality? My point is, I've stopped taking the rip-off label seriously long ago, so when something is accused of being one, I'm always going to see it with some level of skepticism.

Which is good, because considering this show a rip-off is a stretch so big that it'd be easier to call MrEnter a rip-off of Spax3. It's enough to vindicate the sheer volume of stupid that hit Johnny Test, and many asses are still stinging from that era, at least people are becoming kinder to earlier seasons of it though.

Now, I didn't take it seriously at first, I just thought this was general idiocy on the Reception Wiki's part, which is where I first heard of it, but no, people are dead set on framing it as a rip-off.

But let's look into the accusations, or the bigger ones. They went out of their way to claim characters are rip-offs of others.

Coconut Fred is considered a rip-off of SpongeBob, the character I mean. Coconut Fred is not a frycook, let alone employed in a consistent job. He does not have any hobbies that consist of catching things with nets. He does not have a pet that is the equivalent of a cat. He does not have proper buck teeth. He does not have blue irises. He is not square nor is he a sponge. Also, you're basically implying SpongeBob is insufferably annoying if you think Fred is a copy of him.

Slip and Slide are considered rip-offs of Patrick on the grounds of both being idiots. They're two characters, they have a clear Southern drawl, and few strokes of genius. Otherwise by their logic, every dumb character is a rip-off of Patrick.

Mr. Greenrind, you would think would be considered a rip-off of Squidward, but no, people call him a Mr. Krabs rip-off. I've seen only one episode with Mr. Greenrind, he's not greedy, he doesn't own a restaurant, and basically you've never seen a grumpy man in your life.

This last one is absolutely hilarious, Bingo Cherry, a sentient cherry who can speak proper English and works as an assistant to the lead grump... is apparently a rip-off of a house pet. When I first heard the claim of this being a rip-off, seeing the reasons, I thought it was just an elaborate joke poking fun at the Johnny Test hate crowd, but no, this is considered serious enough.

Next, the setting, Coconut Fred takes place on an island, above water. SpongeBob takes place in a city, under water. Coconut Fred and other characters are fruits, SpongeBob characters are fish or some variation of existing sea creatures.

I'll give the Johnny Test crowd some credit, it's quite a coincidence that the smartest characters in that show happen to be red-heads with glasses, maybe that's why Slip and Slide were considered rip-offs based on that technicality?

But fine, I'll play your game, I'll go one ahead and say this isn't a rip-off of SpongeBob, this is more like a rip-off of Camp Lazlo, but let me explain.

Lazlo and Fred are insufferably annoying naive optimists, Chip and Skip and Slip and Slide are dumb as dirt twins, Mr. Greenrind and Lumpus are grumpy leaders of their base of operations and are at odds with the insufferably annoying naive optimists, and both have impish sidekicks who often side with the insufferably annoying naive optimists.

It's honestly hilarious how people are quick to suddenly make comparisons where they don't usually fit, but are just as quick to ignore more blatant similarities for other characters. For instance, Bessie Higgenbottom and Penny Leftowitz give off some clear SpongeBob and Patrick vibes, and I saw at least one person immediately deny it. Either people are blind or they want to protect those quirky girls Twitter users like to wax over.

Sorry about that tangent, I wanted to get that off my chest for a long while.

Now, you may be thinking that I'm ignoring an elephant in the room, that MrEnter probably got these claims going. But let me say this, he didn't originate many of the attitudes animation fans had at the time, he just helped them to spread. People have already hated Breadwinners and the new SpongeBob episodes long before Enter gave their thoughts, now yes, I hold him up for not helping quell those claims sooner, but there is one person who is consistently credited to getting the rip-off claims going, and what Enter probably referred to in his review.

Not a reviewer, not someone on the internet, but an industry professional.

Rob Paulsen.

At one point, Rob Paulsen claimed that the show was a rip-off of SpongeBob SquarePants, for some reason. Best case, he is unaware of how little braincells the animation community has, I mean why else does AniMat have a following? But look, if you think about either show, it is easy to see where either contrasts.

You compare this show to one where there're more differences than similarities if you think hard enough (which is apparently a sin in the animation community these days), and again, more obvious examples fly right over your head.

It has gotten to a point where people claim this is a rip-off based on Rob Paulsen's word alone. And with that, I'd just like to place myself on the hill I'm ready to die on. Rob Paulsen's an idiot. Either he didn't look deeper into where the claims come from, or he just wants to look cool for animation fans. Either he's stupid, or does not have any grasp on grander implications. He was the same guy who agreed to have any part in Doug Walker's career... I can't think of anything else.

Or maybe most SpongeBob fans aren't very bright. I mean, they can't even detect sarcasm, and they have idiots like MoBros and LambHoot assing it up without remorse. A lot of shit has happened with the SpongeBob fandom over the past few years, and Rob Paulsen gave them more ammunition with the most baseless idea yet.

I'm harping on this because it's dangerous to hold something against the show based on one man's word alone. It's one guy's word, we don't know his philosophy or reason for saying these things, and if it's a joke it would be spread so much that people would forget the meaning it originally had. I mean, for instance, Brian Posehn only dunked on Nickelback because they were overplayed on the radio, and you can fill in the blanks.

Final Thoughts

On any other day, this would just be an incredibly obnoxious show that is rightly ragged on, for better or worse. However, when people decide to base their views of it on what another said, it ruins the prospect, because half the time the grander context is sorely missed. I don't care what Rob Paulsen says, his word is meaningless because it was done for validation rather than seeing what he has done.

This is just a case of favoritism and ignorance. If this was considered a Camp Lazlo rip-off then that would be fine as that and this have too many similarities to ignore. To whoever got those crazy allegations going, I hope their career is as troubled as Cam Clarke's.
