🧡🎃 Selfship-Tober- Day 1: Sweater Weather

October 1, Day 1, Sweater Weather

Fall Break was a break not everyone could afford to have or do.

Griffin, was someone who was in between. He did most of his work at home and so technically is was ALWAYS on break, but this time around was different.

He was an at home chemist/scientist, and when the friend groups group chat had a question asking about fall break and if he'd be coming, he gave a definite yes.

Despite having work.

So he packed up his suitcase, packed up another suitcase for all the chemicals he needed to write data sheets on, and got on a plane to Translyvania.

Not everyone could afford to come. Johnny and Mavis being one of them. They were both in Belgium at the time and traveling back to Transylvania would be a hassle in itself as they were already TRAVELING.

Everyone else was good though. Murray had NO STRINGS attached. Frank had nothing going on. Dracula owned the hotel and was the one who invited them. Wayne convinced Wanda he needed some Guy Time.

And Griffin was bringing work with him.

Lizzie jumped on the idea first. Holed up in Canada in her apartment she sent her reply to Drac saying how she'll, and I qoute, "BE THERE IMMEDIATELY >:DDD."

Which was pretty funny considering she was then the last one to arrive.

As the gang met up in the center of the hotel mingingly they chatted, laughed, and waited for the final member of the group to arrive.

Frank, who was hugging Wayne and Drac dropped them both. "Hey where's Lizz-erino. Wasn't she the most excited??"

Murray pulled his phone up. "Her flight got delayed. Check the CHAT. She'll probably take a couple of hours."

Time to prove HIM wrong.

Griffin then pulled up his messages on his phone. "She actually got a different flight. She's in a taxi, five minutes away."

Frank leaned over to the messages and read the phone name as "Lizz 🧡🌻" which made him smirk.

"Look at you two. Talking to each other."

"We talk EVERYDAY," Griffin squinted, and gave a very deadpan tone to him.

They couldn't see his face so the look was not even processed or acknowledged.

....

Wayne scratched behind his ear and glanced at the invisble man. "You tell her about the Zing yet?"

He shook his head. "Nah... I've got a good thing going. We talk everyday, we call everyday, when she goes to bed she puts the phone on her pillow while we video call. It's a whole thing."

Drac chuckled. "That's Griffin guys. A girl shows intrest in him and all his PHDs suddenly loose their worth!"

The group laughed and teased him while he stood, unamused with his little group circle.

The laughing stopped with the sudden spinning of the hotel glass door was heard. Then followed by the hitting of the wooden floor.

Low and behold, Lici stood in the middle.

Fall outfit in all, new haircut, new accessories. She had a bright orange suitcase in one hand and was leaning on her cane on the others.

The loud screeching of a Taxi leaving was heard, as she smirked at the group. "Sorry I'm late!"

She was quickly swept up in a sandstorm, Murray running over and taking her to the group in a mess of grains of sand and a hug. "MY GIRL'S HEREEE!!!"

She returned the hug with a big smile. He luggage was taken quickly and she turned the the group.

"Francis, Dracula, Murray, Wayne, Griffin," she proclaimed, giving a dramatic bow.

Only then she quickly swooped I'm to give Griffin a big hug. He returned it with a laugh. Once the embrace was done she took a step back.

"I love the sweater... nice and soft!" She gushed.

Griffin flushed. "Yeah! Well- ya know it's Fall. And it's cold. I put it on an hour before I arrived- it should be fading into my body soon...."

"A shame. You look so handsome in it," she sighed, shaking her head.

God a small Zing went through his heart, which is what a Zing does to you... he should've expected it.

Compliments did that.

She then gave everyone else their hugs respectively, gushing about her plane trip and her home life. They chatted about her haircut and their lives and it continued normally.

Griffin stood, admiring her bouncy-ness and enthusiasm and thinking about her compliment.

He looked HANDSOME in the sweater. She couldn't even see him and she thought he looked handsome.

He smiled, rubbing the side of his invisible face with a gloved hand. As his clothes slowly started to fade with his own chemically invisible body.

And while she blabbered about whatever, he slowly came up to her side and put a gloved hand on her shoulder, joining the conversation.

I saw your new post and I was like 'hmm, interesting' can you write about the bad sans a few more of your choice reacting to their Fem S/O who was Overly blessed?, Like She was literally God's favorite in most things

And every time someone is going to hurt her lightning strikes them or something else happens and she just shrugged like she's used to that, bonus if she's absolutely beautiful and she's being flirt with regularly resulting in half of these people being fried or Almost killed by the God's

I love this request lmao.

Thank you anon! Hope you enjoy! :D

Masterlist

BAD SANSES X OVERLY BLESSED S/O

(Nightmare, Killer, Dust, Horror, Error)

NIGHTMARE:

Oh, he will absolutely HATE YOU. (Not for long though. 😉)

You tried flirting with him the first time y'all met, and that was basically the kick-starter for him to hate you. He tried to kill you after your flirting attempt, but got immediately striked with lightning.💀

He literally can't stand you. From your breathtaking beauty, your smoothness all the way to your flirtiness!! (<- his words, not mine 🤷‍♀️)

The gods hate him too. So SO much. It's actually wild.

He literally can't believe the amount of bullshit you've gotten away from. Like, what do you mean you've 'accidentaly' killed someone?! And- excuse me- but did you just say that you ROBBED A STORE ONCE?! Bro is flabbergasted.

Doesn't want anything to do with you. You're just a stupid pest only in his way!! So why's he itching to be in your presence now?

He's so frustrated that it's actually really weird... That's the king of DARKNESS, negativity, and here he is, craving after a little touch from this mortal.

You're actually not part of the Bad Sanses. But you are part of the Star Sanses, which should make Nightmare feel good. He knows he should feel better! But he feels so much fucking worse...

After many fights between the Star Sanses, (which now includes you too), he finds himself subconsciously chasing after you.

Normally, he goes after Dream in fights, but now... His target changed. And he's not slick either. Everybody fucking noticed! And you know who noticed it right away? Yes, that's right, Dream.

I swear, your fights just includes you two flirting with each other while tussling. The Gods don't even notice how flirty you guys are, when you're saying stuff like: "I wish you'd wipe that stupid smirk off of your face, it's annoying." "You want me so bad.." "SHUT THE FUCK UP"

Nightmare doesn't know it yet, but he's slowly falling for you the more y'all are away from each other. Maybe you return his feelings back?

KILLER:

"Mamma Mia... that's one hell of a woman...." I swear, Killer's in love with you from the first time he saw you. And it wasn't because of your looks nor your flirtiness! The first time he saw you, you literally killed someone on the spot because he tried to take your food. (The God's are back at it again 💀)

Listen, Killer's NOT the shy type. That's for sure. But right now, he felt more shier than ever before. You were just so ethereal to him..

He went up to you and greeted you. Safe to say that y'all clicked together right away! Maybe.. you also fell for him from the first sight? (THE ZING FROM HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA CONFIRMED??!)

The Gods for sure striked him at least 3 times. Until you had something to say about it. The Gods stopped attacking Killer so much after they saw that you genuinely loved him back.

You two have a little flirting competition every now and then. (You always win)

He's at awe when you tell him all the crimes you've gotten away from. Cause, like, since when??!

He doesn't like it that you're a part of the Star Sanses.. "your love is not meant to be" (He's just being dramatic. As always.)

He can't help but sneak off with you when there's a fight between the Bad and Star Sanses. He just wants to be with you. And I don't mean that as only spend time with you. Nah...he WANTS you!

He actually confesses to you, he says that he loves you and that he can't help but yearn for you. Now comes the question...will you accept his confession?

DUST:

Oh baby, oh BROTHER. He's so annoyed with you. He doesn't like it much when people are as outgoing as you..

Listen, the Gods don't have much an opinion on him.. but they WILL fry him at least 5 times until getting used to seeing him around you.

While Dust doesn't like you much, you in turn LOVE him. You're flirting with him almost all the time. Which rewards you with a very blushy Dust that quickly teleports away. (Not before giving you a side eye. 💀)

Don't worry, he will also start to slowly fall for you the more y'all are conversing. (You fell first but he fell harder >>>>)

Wants for you to prove to him you did those things that you're saying you got away with. Just to fuck with you 💀

His mouth literally dropped open when he finds out you, in fact, was telling the truth. I mean, you did just get out of a store with a shitload of money in your hands.

He was about to ask you how you did it so quickly, but he was interrupted with loud sirens. Welp, looks like you're busted. He smirks at you, as if saying that he was right with you not getting away with it- until you did the most shocking thing ever. You flirted your way out of the prison by flirting with the police officers.

And this right here, was the exact moment when Dust found out he loves you. He gave the officers the hardest glare. He was FUMING. At last, he couldn't take it as his Gaster Blasters appeared and killed the humans. 💀

Becomes miserable when you join the Star Sanses. Damn..and right after he found his feelings for you :(

You both still sneak off from your respective groups to see each other.

Dust keeps comparing your situation to Romeo and Juliet, except no one's dying. He has the biggest genuine smile on his face as he says this.. he's so cute istg..

HORROR:

He just tilts his head whenever he sees you "kill off" people you flirt with. (The Gods are at fault here yet again.)

He approaches you, without a word, looking at you in silence. You both just stare into each other's eyes. It's...kinda awkward from another point of view.

Oh.my.god. THE GODS (and you) FIND HIM SO SWEET WHEN THE FIRST THING HE DOES IS GIVE YOU FLOWERS 😭😭 (some of them are ripped, but that's fine. //Bro ate them//)

He immediately becomes ok in The God's eyes. (The amount of times the Gods strikes him/fried him: 0)

BRO'S WINNING

The best part of it all, is that it was all done subconsciously. He just saw these flowers, thought they were pretty, so he tried to eat them, but then he saw you and thought that they'd fit better with a pretty woman like you.

You try flirting with him, but he either doesn't get your flirting, or he doesn't acknowledge it.

He likes listening to your crime list. He always lays down on your lap whenever you tell him these stories.

He doesn't want you to be a part of the Star Sanses, he wants you with him!! So he'll just kidnap you in the middle of the night. 🤷‍♀️ (And he does that so casually too 😭)

He always compliments you, whenever he can. You're just so pretty in his eyes. 😭

Horror tends to avoid talking much, as it takes him a little longer, but he'll try to talk to you more than the others :) (My HC)

ERROR:

This dofus is so amazed. He knows that you're probably the Gods favorite right away.

He's interested...I guess.

He tries to be sneaky as he creeps up behind you, and greets you. (He's just shy.. I mean- a beautiful girl like YOU? And in his territory?? He doesn't bring much people there 💀)

The God's immediately striked him btw.

Fortunately, you find him quite fun to be around. But the Gods don't like him much.

It becomes kinda difficult talking with him, when the Gods just fry him right away.

You quickly become frustrated, and try to let them somehow know that you LIKE him and want to be around him. So...you become the MOST FLIRTIEST MF THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.

Error just becomes a blushing mess at your ministrations. "*Some flirty line*" "O-Oh- Uhm..thanks?" He doesn't even know how to respond to them.

But after awhile, it was a success and he doesn't get fried anymore! (The Gods probably became too tired of him to care, or they finally took a hint.)

Error doesn't mind the flirting much, (because he loves you) but please- for the LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY- Don't touch him. You'll immediately lose his trust if you touch him. (His Haphephobia)

Actually kinda thrives in the fact that you're a member of the Star Sanses. He's just a sucker for "prohibited love".

It also doesn't bother him much, because he's not actually an official member of the Bad Sanses. He rejected Nightmare's invite, but sometimes comes to their side if he's needed or he's just bored 🤷‍♀️

He makes sure that you're safe during battles. Even if you're on the other team.

Wants to hear EVERY bad thing you've done. (It...gets him kinda- going? I guess. He just finds that attractive.)

♡︎𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧♡︎

Pairing(s): Tasm!Peter Parker x Fem!reader,

Summary: Usually your best friend Peter always had something to say but when you finally reveal your Halloween costumes to each other he’s finally speechless —flufftober day; 16—

Word count: 1.0k

Warning(s): Fluff, Mutual Pinning, and Language

A/n: —GIF’s aren’t mine—

You stood over your stove flipping the omelette that sizzled and hissed in the non-stick pan you read the time on your microwave which read 7:15 the clock being ten minutes early it still urged you to get a move on your day

The tap on your window had you turning from your position facing away from it staring down at the frying eggs in the pan to your window by your dining table with Peter staring back at you his nose slightly red from the unusual cold in October you grabbed a hand towel that sat on your countertop wiping your hands while walking towards the glass pushing it up with your palms while moving over to let the boy have a clear space to land on your floor

“Hi” He smiled over your shoulder before pressing a kiss to your cheek

“Hi” He smiled over your shoulder before pressing a kiss to your cheek

“Hi Pete, made breakfast” You stated mirroring his actions before you were hissing swatting the brunette hand away from your shoulder while he laughed lights at your furrowed brows and offended expression

“Why are your hands so cold, that can’t be healthy” You moved back over to your stove taking the spatula slipping it under the omelette and onto the empty plate that sat on the counter next to another plate that had your own omelette on it filled with pepper, tomatoes, and spinach while Peters just consisted of cheese and bacon bits.

“I got that horrible apple juice you like, I saw it at the store and picked some up it’s in the fridge and there’s some in the pantry too” You stated nonchalantly

“Well aren’t you the sweetest” Peter seemingly teased opening you double door fridge to grab a bottle everything was obsessively organized as Peter would say before shutting the door and cracking the bottle open making his way to sit in a his chair in the dining room watching as you shuffled on your feet through the kitchen

“I found our party for this year” You called over your shoulder before carrying two plates in your hand sitting them down on the table before taking a seat yourself

“Yea, Where is it?” The vigilante asked before not waisting another second to dig into his food groaning at the taste while you shook your head failing to hide your own smile

“It’s in Brooklyn, about a twenty minute drive maybe thirty with traffic everyone in school is going” You hummed taking a few bites out of your own food while Peter nodded along

“Hey so I was thinking, what if let our costumes be a surprise this year” Peter suggested looking over at you occasionally you both had the same ritual since you were twelve you’d go to a Halloween party and then trick or treating and the looks on old ladies faces when they saw two teenagers on the brink of being adults In front of mere toddlers and fourth graders were hilarious

“That doesn’t sound bad, sure why not” You agreed before you and Peter both made small conversation over breakfast until it was time for you both to go to school

ꨄꨄꨄ

You’d been in the store for less than thirty minutes trying to find a decent costume giving up on the Halloween section and making you way towards normal clothes you seen a pair of red and black striped tights and you immediately thought of Mavis from Hotel Transylvania

Picking up the tights and shoving them in your basket you then moved around the clothing rack to find a little black dress soonly after having plenty pairs of converse in your closet one of the colors consisting of red

You began to make your way into the very short line of checkout before you’d seen it you had put all of the things in your basket on a rack of things for when people changed their minds before you grabbed it and checked out at one of the unoccupied cash register

Oh you would get a load of this.

ꨄꨄꨄ

Peter had been waiting for you for a small while only about five minutes leaning on the trunk of your car his hands shoved in the pockets of his black trousers before you’d finally walked out of your building with a sort of skip in your step while he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at your attire

You wore grey sweatpants and Gap zip up hoodie and Jordan 1’s and identical pare to which Peter usually wore while he wore black slacks, a white button up with fake blood stained on its collar and ‘dripping’ from the corners of his mouth and fangs temporarily glued on his teeth

“Hey, where’s your cost-”

“Close your eyes if you wanna seem my surprise!” You cut him off before he could finish his sentence he warily but his hands over his eyes confusion etched on his features you quietly slipped of your sweatpants and if weren’t for Peters enchanted hearing he wouldn’t have heard you unzipped you hoodie but he didn’t look anyway

“Alright now open” Peter opened his eyes his mouth going slightly agape at the sight of you. You were wearing his suit and it hugged every inch of your body delicately and for once Peter didn’t have a thing to say

“Do you like it?” The corners of your mouth edged up into a smile while you spun in a small circle giving Peter a small fashion show

“You look, you look amazing” Ten brunette still could barely find the words in his throat but at forced some to come to the surface anyway

“Of course you would say that, I’m you” You playfully rolled your eyes before unlocking your car while Peter mirrored your actions with a small smile that didn’t go unnoticed by you

Yes you were dressed as Peter but he was %100 sure that you were the better reflection.

opposites attract halloween costumes … mavis and johnny from hotel transylvania 🤭

y e s oh my god

you’re sitting on your bathroom counter using texture spray and a flat iron to give luca that fluffy electrocuted look and he is absolutely enamoured with the dress for your costume

so he keeps stealing kisses and after you’re done his hair you’re now tasked with getting the black lipstick off his lips

you have to switch it to a lip stain because he will not stop

he’s so giddy that you agreed to a couples costume and he thinks you look so pretty so he just wants to be all over you for the whole night

I'll admit that Chris Pratt as Mario was the one part of the trailer that didn't work for me, but everything else really did have quality to it. Jack Black had the perfect balance of threatening Bowser and campy Bowser, the animation was exactly what I'd hope a Mario movie would look like, and it's clear there's a lot of passion in the project, to the point where they even incorporated Mario creatures that aren't as well-known and mainstream. I don't think it deserves being entirely ragged on just thanks to one lackluster part.

I’m afraid I have to disagree! Chris Pratt Mario is easy to rag on because it’s exactly as awful as predicted and ties into an existing awful trend in current animated movies (also Chris Pratt sucks as a person), but I also think it's just ... the most obvious symptom of an issue strewn all throughout the trailer.

It lacks soul. Sure, the character models are up to the industry standard and the color work is very good and there’s nothing immediately artistically offensive about it, but it’s just so lackluster. The characters’ lines and body language are completely to-the-point, have no individuality or spunk, no flavor. There’s no word play, no slang (made up or real), no distinct speech patterns. All the characters’ lines sound like they came directly out of 11 other movies from the last decade. The body language accomplishes getting across some very basic emotions, but again, everyone moves the same, there’s no sauce on there, it’s just “character is scared,” “character is excited,” “character is surprised.” Bowser’s character acting while talking is also very awkward and janky (reminder that Hotel Transylvania, a similarly badly written but EXTREMELY well-animated CGI movie came out TEN YEARS AGO).

On the subject of Bowser, I also think Jack Black was a very poor choice for him. Yeah, he can do the voice rumble, but it has no depth, no reverberation. It’s generic.

It’s not just Chris Pratt Mario that sounds flat and lifeless, even though he is definitely the worst offender - everyone, from Toad to Luigi to the penguin guys at the beginning, all literally just sound like Some Guy.

Which becomes a problem when “tiny cute cartoon animal sounds like a grown human being” was supposed to be a joke at the beginning! The joke doesn’t land when every other character sounds like that and it’s not meant to be funny!

This being another problem. It’s not funny or has an interesting plot teased? They tried to crack some jokes, but they were regurgitating common cartoon gags that were done to death a decade ago. It was some Ice Age 4 style comedy. And with the generic plot threads introduced, the trailer really had nothing going for it except “please come look at our movie, it has some nice special effects!”

As for using lesser-known Mario characters ... I’m sorry to say, but that’s a really common marketing tactic for this era of big franchise movies. A really basic, generic plot front and center so newcomers to the franchise can keep up with the plot, with these little nuggets of “remember this obscure guy or thing?!” for longtime fans to point at and go “oh yes I remember that guy or thing!!” It isn’t evidence of passion, it’s evidence of the creators knowing how nerd fandom operates and taking advantage of people’s sincere affection for their favorite stories.

I love bad movies and I don’t fault anyone for being excited about the Mario movie, but it’s disheartening to see people hyping up these soulless cash grabs just because franchise movie creators have caught onto which levers to pull to make fans swallow their garbage without complaining too much.

It was the same thing with the Sonic movies. They have basically nothing to do with the Sonic franchise, even the main character is completely divorced from the thematic context he was born out of, but tons of people love it just because it’s superficially “heartwarming” and more or less manages to dodge some of the obvious problems of other family films in the same genre.

Again, I’m not saying no one’s allowed to like these movies. But how anyone can look at the Mario trailer or the Sonic movies and call them good adaptions ... is beyond me.

The Mario and Sonic games’ stories aren’t good because there’s a guy named Mario in overalls and a blue hedgehog named Sonic who save the day in each their silly little way, they’re good because of their unique themes and ideas. Mario’s story is appealing because it’s quirky, energized, full of weird places and weird people that are nothing like any big blockbuster movie. Sonic’s story is all about environmentalism and anti-capitalism! Sonic stands for a green future! These traits are the heart and soul of the franchises these movies are trying to adapt, it’s what makes them good, but mainstream movie producers don’t care about any of that. They just put the funny-looking guy on the screen, try not to piss off any parents or long-time fans too much, then wait for money to start rolling in.

Besides, Mario’s only two defining character traits are “Italian” and “plumber,” and I do think it says a lot that even getting those two things right was too much effort for Illumination. The sheer balls it takes to look at a massive franchise like Mario and decide to change 50% of the most recognizable traits of its main character are astounding. Maybe it would be stupid to trash the movie over a single miscast voice ... but when it’s the main character? When said miscasting takes away one of his two character traits? That’s not nitpicking, that’s identifying an underlying problem with the production process, that is, a lack of interest in the very franchise they’re trying to adapt.

Nintendo has more money than god. They should be able to get a hold of an animation studio that can do more than just make pretty special effects and look up obscure characters on a fan wiki.

I don’t want a Mario movie that’s more or less non-offensive, I want a Mario movie that’s good. I want a Mario movie that understands the property it’s adapting. We have got to stop patting big blockbuster movies on the back for doing the bare minimum.

#asktheherd #i feel so bad having to reply so negatively to one of my favorite long-time followers but I MUST SPEAK MY TRUTH ...
