Hi, I’ve never requested fanfic before, let alone Mandela Catalogue, so this is my first request as a whole :)
Could I have headcannons of Mark Heathcliff asking and going to an end school dance with the reader? Like, the reader and Mark have been friends for a long time but then when the time for the dance approaches he asks them to go?
You don’t have to make this, but I would like to know whether or not. I hope this isn’t very hard to make if so. I really like your reading style.
Awe thank you so much!!
...........
Ah yes, the "end-of-year highschool dance".
It's something Mark had been dreading for a while bc he was kinda worried about being the odd man out and not having a date (again).
Cesar instantly got several invitations (five, in fact), so he was stuck in the dilemma of who was gonna be the lucky one.
But he did encourage Mark to try asking you out, considering you've all been friends for a long time.
You and him were closer, though.
He wasn't sure if you already had a date and didn't wanna set himself up for disappointment.
This school year's been kinda rough, so he just prays that god gives him a break and doesn't make him sit through another dance alone in the corner, drinking tasteless fruit punch.
As the time approaches, he finally has the guts to ask you out.
Only to see someone already there, walking towards you. He doesn't know their intentions at all but refuses to lose his chance.
So he rushes in front of them and basically blurts out "[y/n]? School dance? Tomorrow night???"
He forgor what he rehearsed beforehand.
It turns out, that person was asking you something completely unrelated to the dance...and Mark's extremely embarrassed for overreacting.
But after all that's cleared up, you said yes!
He didn't think he'd get this far, but he's happy!
When the night of the dance comes up, he picks you up wearing a tux similar to Cesar's (but it's dark grey with a blue bowtie), and of course he keeps his cross necklace with him.
He compliments your outfit, while he gets flustered when you gawk at his and say "wow, who is this handsome young man?? I swear I've only ever seen him in hoodies".
He's blushing the whole car ride there.
You both end up having a great time! He's not the best dancer (considering it's his first time actually participating in a school dance), so it's mostly you leading the way.
The most intimate thing Mark did was put his head on your shoulder when the slow songs play.
That's it, but it's a start.
He does snack/drink runs so you could rest if you're tired.
Other students are doing double-takes when he walks by, staring and whispering "no freaking way is that Heathcliff???", completely baffled he has a date and looks charming.
Cesar meets up with him and is like "aw you've grown up so fast, bud" with the biggest grin on his face.
He's proud of him fr for making the first move (but ofc Mark's never gonna tell him how it actually went).

Acne remedies
The basic premise is a long standing one. Dan Parent is picking up from any number of stories drawn by Dan Decarlo on the complexion and vanity of face blemishes in over dramatic teenagers -- whether that be Betty, Archie, or Smurfette.
I guess that last one is more in keeping with the Veronica one, Papa Smurf and Hiram Lodge the clear patriarchs -- a little hard pressed to say anything about Mama Smurf or Lodge. (Oddly, Bob Bolling wrote an interesting Mrs. Lodge story in the late 1960s). There may be something in pointing out that Archie, unlike Betty and Smurfette, does not bring exaggerated notions of death wishes into the picture -- except I am more stuck on Papa Smurf's line -- "Smurfettes", as in plural, as in more than the (infamously) one female Smurf. And from here, the stories are pretty similar -- with Betty playing the part of Gargamel in sending Veronica on a wild goose chase in pursuit of a remedy.
Oh. By the way. This story originally takes place at Christmas time. There was no weather or snow drawn in, no insertion of Holidays or the month into the dialogue, it is just -- a few decorations and a Christmas tree were in these four panels, but were then dumped.
I know in the 1990s pile of stories Jason had a hankering for Betty, but I do not know it was reciprocated. But It probably wasn't except like here when it fit the plot requirements.
All's well that ends well for the 1993 stories -- though Betty is a tad embarrassed in one of them. The 1968 and 1997 stories end with some dissatisfied characters, as is keeping especially in 60s Archie -- I gather Betty gets her comeuppance for sending Veronica on a wild goose chase in 1997. As for the 1982 Decarlo drawn story -- it is all a misunderstanding.
