The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 12 Review: Diary Queen
https://ift.tt/3snx5Yt
This The Simpsons review contains spoilers.
The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 12
The Simpsons Season 32, episode 12, “Diary Queen,” may be the sweetest offering of the series. It’s not only sentimental and self-esteem-positive, it’s downright edumacational. At least for Bart, who certainly learns a lesson. Thankfully, as the episode explains by example, he probably won’t retain it.
“What’s the matter, Bart? I figure you’d be used to failing by now,” Edna Krabappel once consoled the spiky haired kid who seemed so determined to get through school without schooling. Marcia Wallace, who played the Springfield Elementary teacher, died unexpectedly in October 2013. Edna’s death was first acknowledged in “Four Regrettings and a Funeral,” from season 25, when Bart wrote “We’ll really miss you Mrs. K” on the chalkboard. He only wrote it once. Her death was punishment enough. Both the character and the voice actor were instrumental in the chemistry of The Simpsons, and chemistry happens to be one of the few things Bart’s ever excelled at in school, even pranking a talent show in the “Haw-Haw Land” episode. But he gets his beakers crossed in the latest installment.
“Diary Queen” opens with an inspired West Side Story song parody, “Too Nice” replacing “Tonight.”  It’s time for Ned Flanders’s annual yard sale, and he’s on a holy mission to undersell eBay. Comic Book Guy is looking for a broom to play Quidditch on, Waylen Smithers is going to score some kitsch, and Ned will finally toss those fuzzy dice Maude bought him to the bottom of an impulse item box of jokes he did not get. The Flanders family are parting with their humble possession in a public bid for humility, in case no one notices. Ned gives up Rod’s teeth. Todd consigns his toys to the auction block on the grass. “Playing is a sin that we regret,” one of the Flanders kids explains.
Ned’s bizarre outdoor bazaar is the only segment which has any meanness in it. The Springfieldians want to take advantage of Ned, and openly mock him. Carl and Lenny turn the yard sale into a yarn brawl, and Jimbo’s gang buys commemorative plates just to smash them. It’s enough to send Ned looking for the fans he always carries around in case of stress-induced hot flashes. As Patty and Selma are flicking ashes into Rod and Tod’s baby shoes, it seems Nelson, Bart, and Millhouse are the only ones worthy to buy Ned’s treasured mementos. And, of those, only Nelson’s purchase is authentic. He buys all the bad words, like “adultery” and “fornication,” which Ned cut out of his old religious texts. Nelson has a genuine use for them, you can just tell.
Bart and Millhouse buy the books. Even without the offending admonishments, they swear they’ll still find useful ways to better themselves. Their haul winds up being the fiery centerpiece for a supercool skateboarding feat which no one will ever see. It’s an old joke, but we do get to notice how big Millhouse’s nose looks when he’s picking it. One book, which gives the title to the episode, is spared the conflagration of Bart’s daredevil jump: Edna Krabappel’s diary. Bart recognizes the Ds and Fs, and Millhouse recognizes the smell of Parliament Lights 100s. It’s very telling how these are the most recognizable clues. They are each ready-made character punchlines.
The diary is a font of information. Bart and Millhouse learn all the teachers work night jobs during school hours, and the many lonely secrets of Groundskeeper Willie. But their first use of it is inspired gaggery. Bart learns Superintendent Chalmers keeps his car keys behind the visor. The two kids not only steal the car but take advantage of a free yogurt offer at a car wash. The idea that taking the yogurt and ditching the car is a “perfect crime” is great kids’ logic. It is a little odd, however, that Springfield’s Chief Wiggum sees fourth grade car thieves as inspiration for a little personal time with Officer Lou, but it works within Simpsons logic.
The central point of the episode is Bart’s relationship with his dead teacher, and his relationship with himself. He actually believes someone he thought only saw him as troublesome also considered him “smart as a whip.” It leads him to believe he actually has potential, which he translates to: all the time he was showing his butt he was showing promise. This spurs him into thinking about getting seriously educated. Not only does he try but he succeeds on his first dry run, resisting the urge to draw a skeleton head on a multiple-choice test grid, and getting an A. Not only does he finally understand how his sister Lisa doesn’t suck, but he puts himself on the same level.
Lisa goes through all the stages of jealousy, and even realizes she’s on the verge of obsession when even her imaginary comfort pony begins to look like Bart. This makes it worse, because realizing he is the only thing she can think about only makes her dwell on it. Lisa is usually the family genius, and how she reacts to Bart doing well really depends on the circumstance and need for story conflict. For instance, when Bart had to apply geometry to miniature golf in an early episode, Lisa brought a Zenlike understanding of all things which putt. Lisa does Bart a disservice tonight in the guise of doing the right thing. It’s her MO.
Of course, Marge and Lisa don’t trust Bart’s recent good grades, but while he comes up clean to Marge, Lisa digs up the dirt. Bart correlates “cruel” with “lying” because “they’re both great.” He thinks he’s going to win a Spelling Bee just because he has the potential to do it. Would it have been less cruel for Lisa to let him see how far his belief would get him? She’s set him up for worse humiliations just for an edge at science fairs.
Millhouse gets a few good gags tonight. When Lisa starts developing a rash because of the stress of not crushing her brother’s potential, he pulls cream out of his fanny pack labeled “rash stash.” Groundskeeper Willie is a highlight of the episode. His character has one of the most interesting takes on passive aggressive behavior in comedy. It’s not that he gets it backwards, so much as he pays it forward: Terrorizing Bart with the idea of simmering a new pet into rabbit stew when all he’s thinking of is how much bunnies love stewed carrots.

The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 10 Review: A Springfield Summer Christmas for Christmas
By Tony Sokol
Subtle social commentary makes its way into the episode. As this is the first episode since the Trump presidency, it opens with a Bald Eagle flying a sign asking “Is it safe yet?” We learn Ned doesn’t find Bill Maher funny. A priest tells Bart and Millhouse reading someone else’s diary in church is not the worst thing you can do within the hallowed walls. Moments later we see the priest handcuffed and escorted past the pews by the police. We can only wonder what offenses are happening at Reverend Lovejoy’s competition.
Fat Tony (Tony Montagna) tells his henchmen his crime family doesn’t kill children, “We wait till they’re 18.” Lisa is kept up at night by the cold dead eyes of Mike Pence. Subtle subversive commentary can be found when Principal Skinner declares the drug-free portion of the school assembly a success because Lisa, the only one in the auditorium, tells him she doesn’t do drugs. But the scene comes shortly after we learn Dr. Hibbert is pushing kiddie-Xanax “sleepies” and “dopies” on her. The best bad side effects are “Portuguese insolence” and the “tendency to see yourself as others see you.”
The episode has quite a few sight gags which work well. The sign outside the Spelling Bee contest reads H-E-A-R, and we see one of the losing contestants ripping up a dictionary on the way to the exit. When Ned starts to preachify in the treehouse, he only stops because Bart is drawing back a trigger finger on his slingshot. Mrs. Krabappel’s beloved cat not only was not harmed during the making of the episode, but was a willing participant, according to the closing disclaimer. One of the stills in the photo montage is of Krabappel watching The Bob Newhart Show, which Marcia Wallace was a regular on.
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
For the majority of The Simpsons’ run, Mrs. Krabappel was a sexually independent woman who was often “looking for a substitute to teach me a lesson I sorely need.” She began dating widower Ned in “The Ned-Liest Catch” from season 22. They married in secret and stayed together until her death in “The Man Who Grew Too Much.” The cause of Edna’s death has never been revealed, except in a non-canon, future-set episode. For this installment, Wallace’s two lines are taken from earlier episodes. “Diary Queen” will be her last appearance.
This is a different kind of arc for The Simpsons. “Diary Queen” is on an uplifting trajectory until Lisa knocks it off course, and ends in a sudden life-affirming crash. Bart’s final warning to Marge, “I’ll go over the edge if you try to make me feel better,” is wonderfully skewered, but the final twist is a dose of treacle. The episode was originally slated to premiere on Valentine’s Day, and is a sweet sendoff.

Isthantari- The Series Part 1
Tumblr media
And we’re back with more Jika! So, because I am super awkward, I ended the Isthantari story the way I did because I was trying to invite anyone who wanted their own date with a Jika to tell me so I could write that and @wolfofbluestardust was the first to take me up on my offer. So here we are! So this is her OC Lenora who is a pastry chef and owns her own bakery/pastry shop. And her own Jika- Jabari, who is awkward, pessimisstic and shy and Lenora is loud, bold and a hopeless romantic. Forbidden romance with a prince? Check. Sweet and fluffy overload? Check. Love at first scent? Double check. Awkwardness? QUADRUPLE CHECK. Lets do this!
And if anyone else wants one of these, message me.
Isthantari- Jabari and Lenora
“Thank you so much for doing this.” Sable thanked you as Jaxon and his brother Jabari carried in cases of the Jika fruits into your pastry shop.
“You’re welcome, I’m excited, so what do I need to do to them?” You posed curiously as you looked the fruits over curiously.  
“Well they’ve already been frozen and thawed so they’ll be sweet for you so you don’t need to do much else. I’m really excited to see what you’ll be able to do with them.” Sable beamed happily as she arranged one of everything onto a long counter with a set of tools to open the fruits so that you could try them yourself, grinning when you ‘oohed’ at the different flavors as your brain kicked into overdrive as you quickly wrote out what your inspiration was telling you to do with them.
“Well give me a few days at least to play with these and see what I can do, but right off the top of my head, macaroons and cupcakes, with this as a filling or to flavor buttercream frosting.” You suggested.
“I was thinking the same thing. Well, if you can’t get a hold of me you can tell Jabari because he’s been put in charge of getting the produce to earth chefs and he’s also in charge of pricing. I can already tell you, this one will probably be pretty expensive because a giant tree only grows one seed pod, granted that pod has over a thousand seeds but you only get one pod a season. So I’m still working on trying to see if I can cross breed it to either get bigger pods or more pods per tree. But the fruit around the seed is literally the blue raspberry flavor a lot of candy has and the seed to me is a cross between a macadamia and a cashew.” Sable explained as you bit into the fruit and felt your knees go weak and ate the rest of the fruit before biting into the seed in the middle.
“I see what you mean by the macadamia nut but I’m getting hints of Brazil nut too.” You pointed out as Sable tried it again.
“Yeah, you’re right, Brazil nut. The nuts I think would be good dipped in chocolate or perhaps into a baklava or something.” Sable mused as you nodded in agreement to that and wrote that down too.
You and Sable had been friends for a long time, you had become a pastry chef and owned your own bakery but because Sable was a friend of yours and her inter-galactic and inter-species connections meant that you were usually her go-to person to see if alien foods would be palatable or be made palatable for humans and as a bonus, you were also who a lot of aliens like to come to for sweets that were for them a taste of home. And when aliens got married, you were their go to for wedding cakes in flavors that were literally other worldly, you had alien staff that helped you with flavors and styles that were even a hit with the humans.
And then you noticed it. Sable’s relationship with Jaxon and the absolutely doting way he was around her and the smitten way she acted around him.
“So…? What’s up with that?” You whispered to Sable with a mischievous glint in your eye.
“Oh, Jaxon and I are together, it’s just uh, supposed to be under the radar, you see, the Jika are controlled by a queen and “technically” speaking, she’s the only one who’s supposed to breed in the colony and will kill rivals. And...yeah, so she’s not. And let me just say, damn.” Sable giggled as her whole face blushed beet red.
“Oh?” You giggled yourself. A forbidden romance? Be still your beating heart!
“Ok so the Jika are really sensitive to smells, in particular pheromones, that’s how the queen controls the hive, just like our bees do, so anyway, so Jaxon took one whiff of me and thought I was a queen and  he quickly kind of totally fell in love with me and dear god the sex is out of this world, but don’t worry, he can’t knock me up, it’s fine, but he calls me his ‘Isthantari’ which means ‘one I am devoted to for life’ and so while we have to be careful and as long as I don’t pose a threat of any kind to the actual queen and as long as I don’t attract any others, we’re fine. I just have to wear a fuck ton of deodorant and perfume. Actually Jaxon’s brothers, because Jaye started a relationship with another doctor a couple of years ago, most think that because they’re not the queen’s consorts that they’ll never find love but when Jaye and Jaxon realized that they could, their brothers are realizing they can have a life and romance outside the hive. So if you’re interested, I can try to set you up. You just, literally have to be very careful. And if they’re attracted to your scent, great, if not, don’t take it personal, more fish in the sea and all that, and one may think you’re the living end and another won’t, so it’s an individual thing too.” Sable tried to explain and warn you as Jaxon and Jabari finished getting the last of the fruits inside and you got a good look at him. He was handsome and that purple sheen to his black was quite beautiful.
“How big of a dick are we talking here?” You whispered before Sable gestured and described it and your eyes went wide but the biggest excited smile plastered on your face before she described the sex too and the royal jelly and you were beyond intrigued.
“Hell yeah sign me the fuck up,” you agreed before a plan bloomed in your head.
“Jabari right?” You repeated his name when he came back to stand next to Jaxon who was standing next to Sable, waiting further instructions as you held your hand out to shake one of his before he stepped forward and shook your hand.
“Hi, I’m Lenore, so Sable said to keep in touch with you when I have something for you guys to try, so I’ll need your phone number and email address.” You insisted before he puled a cell phone out of his, what you could only describe was an alien fanny pack because he wasn’t really wearing any other clothes and gave you his phone number and email address.
And then like a woman possessed, you spent the next three days experimenting before you created a plethora of cup cakes, macaroons and all kinds of desserts before you texted Jabari that you had things for him to try. Sable and Jaxon were delivering goods to another chef so that only Jabari could come which was perfect. You had worked up a sweat working on all this and part of you was hoping that Jabari would like your scent the way Jaxon had liked Sable’s.
“Hey, you made it, come on in,” you invited him warmly as you took him back into the kitchen where you had everything displayed on the long counter for him as your other employees manned the front counter.
You watched Jabari very carefully for his reactions, remembering that Sable had told you to watch his antennae movement as well and noticed that on most of it, his antennae were wiggling like crazy as you wrote that down. But to your chagrin, he didn’t seem to give you much of any other reactions other than simply moving down the table and continuing to eat one of each item methodically.
And you did your best to stay close to him but the closer you tried to get, the father away he tried to stay. Ok, so this one didn’t like you. Maybe he was one of the brothers that didn’t think the risk was worth it.
“Can I take this with me?” Jabari requested as he gestured to everything on the table.
“Sure. For Sable to try?” You guessed as you got a to go box and started putting the treats in it for him.
“...yes.” Jabari slowly affirms and not only takes the box but went to the front and ordered one of everything you make at the store and he leaves with a few cases of your goods.
The next day you texted Sable to see how she liked your sweets.
‘I didn’t get any.’ Sable informed you. ‘Although with Jika, when they find something they like, they inhale it, they must have been really good that he ate it all.’ She tried to assure you.
‘Well it would have been nice for him to SAY so. He wouldn’t give me so much as a hum or any thing. Not even a ‘this was good’.’ You complained.
‘Jika are really AWKWARD at first. I had no idea Jaxon liked me until three days after I met him in person. Jaxon fought with himself to keep away from me because his instincts were telling him to mate with me already and he was trying to be professional. So if he came off as stand off-ish it’s because they are usually pretty stoic. Once you get passed that, then their personality will come through.’ Sable explained. ‘Do you have what you need to make more? Because now I really want to try some.’ Sable urged.
‘Yeah, I should, give me by the end of the day today.’ You answered and right at ten minutes to close, Sable, Jaxon and Jabari returned, Jabari’s antennae were a bit droopy though and were your eyes deceiving you or was his abdomen bigger than it was yesterday?
“I’d like to apologize for making you make these again, I had a lapse in self control and ate it all.” Jabari apologized meekly.
“I’ll only forgive you if tell me your honest appraisals of everything.” You returned with a wicked curve to your grin and he perked up quite a bit at that before he just went on and on in amazing detail about every tiny little thing as Sable and Jaxon tried and really enjoyed each item as you were just suddenly overwhelmed, it was like getting the most glowing review from a food critic but in person and when he grabbed your hand to lead you out into the front to the display case as he then gave you a review of each thing, you realized, he did, eat every. Single. Thing. And you fell in love with the way he described your food because he made it sound like you had made each thing just for him and he appreciated and was deeply moved by it all and in awe of it all. You should have recorded this to write it down to actually put it into your menus. When he was done, you were almost ready to cry.
“Thank you.” You thanked him and flung your arms around him to hug him as he awkwardly hugged you back and you felt his antennae tap the back of your head gently just as the employees were closing the store.
“You’re welcome. You’re very talented.” Jabari praised as he seemed to give into the embrace and hugged you so tight it was a little hard to breathe and you noticed he’s petting your hair. You quite like it.
“Would you like to go get a drink with me?” You asked boldly as you pulled away from the embrace.
“Uh, you have drinks here?” Jabari tiled his head slightly in confusion as he gestured to your coffee bar and your fountain drink dispenser.
“No, alcoholic drinks.” Sable corrected as she came out from the back and handed you a sheet of paper with her and Jaxon’s reviews written on it and on the other side was suggestions of pairings which you folded and put into your pocket.
“Uh, can Jika…?” Jabari put to Jaxon who nodded ‘yes’ before he said something in the Jika language and it sounded encouraging.
“Sure,” Jabari confirmed and you could tell he was nervous.
“Come on.” You urged as you grabbed your things and took his hand and led him down the street to a local bar and pub that you liked to go to after a long day and you got dinner and a drink and smiled when he got the fruitiest drink they had and ate the slice of pineapple and orange that came with it.
“So how come you couldn’t tell me all that yesterday?” You posed after you placed your order.
“I needed time to compose myself and get my thoughts in order.” Jabari answered as he played with the rind of his orange nervously.
“Do I make you nervous?” You asked as you tilted your head to the side.
“No,” Jabari answered probably a little too quickly and a little too loudly.
“Really? Because your body language says otherwise.” You argued before he stopped fiddling with the rind and sat on his hands.
“It’s ok to be nervous, I don’t think any less of you if you are. But I do appreciate honesty. Just tell me and don’t leave me guessing.” You advised before a fight broke out at the bar and in a split second and faster than you could blink, you were wrapped up in his arms and he literally flew you both out of there and towards the Jika ship. You struggled until you realized how high you were and literally stopped struggling to cling to him so tightly you wrapped yourself around him even though his hold on you was pretty hard already.
“Jabari! What the fuck are you doing?!” You screamed as you looked down over the city and noticed it was...actually really pretty as that suddenly seemed to kick some sense into him and out of the instinct that had taken over him.
“Huh?” Jabari seemed to ask as he came to his senses and quickly changed direction to fly you back to the pub before he landed gently on the ground and put you down.
“Don’t move.” You ordered before you went back into the restaurant, got your food to go and came back out, paying the waitress and leaving a hefty tip, because the poor thing thought you ran out on the bill.
You came back out and practically hopped back into his arms.
“Ok, now you can go wherever you were taking me before.” You told him before he seemed to look at you a little more appreciatively and took off, his wings easily flying you through the air as his hold on you was secure as you held onto the food before he seemed to fly into a blue beam of light and in a flash, you were on the Jika ship and he was flying you through the ship as you watched on in wonder before he came to his quarters before he put you back down.
“That was really fun, just warn me the next time you want to go flying.” You gently teased as you looked around and saw what looked like a table and chair and had to hop up to sit on it and got your food out.
“So this is your place? It’s nice.” You appraised.
“Thank you.” Jabari nodded as he opened his food container and pulled up a chair and sat down and began to eat.
“So are you just naturally flighty?” You asked.
“No, Jika are fierce warriors.” Jabari countered.
“And yet half a second after the first punch was thrown you had both of us out of there and half way here already.” You argued firmly because you knew he was being protective, he just didn’t want to admit it.
“An instinct to keep you from danger kicked in and took over.” Jabari tried to explain delicately and a little dismissively but you were undeterred.
“Really? Aww, why?” You demanded with a bright smile.
“What Sable told you about Jika in my position?” Jabari returned.
“That you weren’t chosen for a royal consort and so you simply have a job to serve the hive but that you and your brothers are learning you can have a life outside the hive.” You repeated with a smug grin.
“Uh huh.” Jabari nodded.
“And that you’re affected by pheromones and that that’s the reason her and Jaxon are together because she smelled like a queen to him. So, do my pheromones do the same to you?” You asked plainly.
“Yes, and it will get both of us killed.” Jabari confessed.
“So it’s dangerous, some people really like that, the whole forbidden romance thing, that’s what sells books and movies and love songs.” You shrugged.
“It could be the downfall of the Jika as a whole, because if it’s seen as something any and all Jika can do, soon all the worker Jika could go back into incubation and have the ability to ignore the hive mind and our society and ways of doing things could cease to...” Jabari tried to argue before you grabbed his face, used your thumbs to move his mandibles out of the way to kiss him and smiled into the kiss when he kissed back and nearly climbed over the table to pull you up out of your seat to hold you as he picked you up and kissed you deeper.
“Oh fuck,” Jabari breathed as his hands pet your body which made you feel feverish because holy shit, did he taste good and this was great.
“So don’t tell the hive mind.” You managed to say between heated kisses as his bed appeared out of the floor.
“I need, I need you to tell me to stop.” Jabari pleaded desperately in a last ditch effort to save you from his imagined fate.
“Why?” You asked as you pulled away to look at him as you cocked your head to the side.
“Because if lay you down, I’m gonna mate with you and I won’t be able to stop myself at that point, right now, if you don’t want this, you have to stop me right now.” Jabari pleaded.
“Yeah I don’t want you to stop though because the forbidden romance is totally my thing and if I smell like your queen by all means, make me your queen but without actually getting us killed.” You breathed.  
“Fuck, well ok then.” Jabari caved and pinned you to the bed and in lighting fast speed, he stripped you out of your clothes, which having four hands came in handy and then his cock emerged and you gasped in surprise.
“Wow, that’s huge,” you purred before you wrapped your legs around his waist and tried to align yourself onto him and when the tip touched your slit, the slightly cooling yet tingling sensation began to spread into your womanhood before you noticed a duct appear on his chest and start oozing a yellow liquid.
“What’s that?” You asked as you pointed to it.
“Royal jelly, we make it during mating,” Jabari answered as he got into position and his breath shuddered when you licked it up and to you, it tasted like a mango, passion fruit, papaya, lychee and super ripe pineapple smoothie. It was so good. You easily licked it up and had to strain your neck a little to reach the duct and closed your mouth over it and sucked it before your tongue swirled around it just as he entered you and his hips stuttered as his breath fluttered as he temporarily forgot how to function because it felt so good and you couldn’t help but moan when he filled you, no stuffed you full and you whimpered as your hips rocked into him, trying to take him as deep as you could and when he really started to move as one hand held him above you so he wouldn’t crush you but the other three arms were wrapped your chest, your waist and your rear.
“Am I hurting you at all?” Jabari asked worriedly.
“No, but if you stop now I’ll hurt you.” You insisted before you played with the duct with your tongue which practically made him come apart again as he picked up the pace as you greedily sucked down that royal jelly.
“You’re so small and you’re so soft, yet you’re fiercer and bolder than any warrior I’ve ever met.” Jabari tried to praise you as you snorted a laugh.
“Oh no, are you choking?” Jabari asked as he pulled away before you pulled him back.
“Nope, laughing. Everyone says I’m tiny yet fierce.” You grinned before you attached your mouth over the duct again and sucked hard and that only made him hump you harder which was exactly what you needed to reach orgasm and just as you were barely coming down that knot at the base was now at your entrance and was drenched in your essence and with one last good thrust it popped inside and you cried out as your lower belly really bulged but instead of pain, you only felt a slight discomfort but otherwise it was nothing but pleasure as you were pumped full as your mouth was suddenly pumped full of royal jelly too and you tried to gulp it all down.
“Fuck,” it was your turn to cuss once you finished drinking it all down but you were still basking in after glow and you felt like you had melted and had slowly started to solidify in his arms again. “Wow, that was...wow.” You tried to have a coherent thought.
“Uh huh,” Jabari nodded in agreement as he very carefully laid down on his side with you still in his arms as he tried pulling a soft blanket over both of you to make sure you didn’t get cold without your clothes on.
“So why were you so weird the other day?” You asked him.
“I was trying not to mate with you and tried to stay professional, I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings by not giving you the feedback you needed at the time.” Jabari explained as he ran his fingers through your hair marveling at it.
“Hey, it’s understandable,” you chuckled before you felt his cock shrink and the knot popped out and you expelled, what to you- felt like a gallon of his cum all over the bed and when you reached down between you to touch it, you marveled at it’s holographic nature and then out of curiosity you licked your finger clean and giggled.
“My cum tastes funny?” Jabari asked in confusion.
“Your cum literally tastes minty, like sweet mint gum.” You cackled as you licked your other fingers clean.
“What?” Jabari asked as he watched you curiously.
“Your cum, it tastes like mint gum, something humans actually like and think tastes really good.” You explained.
“Oh,” Jabari blinked.
Once you both recovered, you got redressed and he literally flew you home. “So am I your Isthantari now?” you asked as he put you down on your front step with surprising precision and care.
“If you want to be.” Jabari returned.
“Hell yeah,” you beamed before you pulled him down to kiss him again.
“Goodnight Jabari, I had a lot of fun tonight, by the way, you owe me for dinner.” You teased as you playfully pat his chest.
“Oh, that’s right, uh, yeah, I’ll...take you out for another alcoholic beverage, soon. Tomorrow?” He asked.
“Tomorrow. And I want to go flying again after, so don’t drink too much, don’t want you flying while drunk.” You winked before you went into your apartment.

Yuletide recs, for fandoms A-M! I have just barely gotten this in before author reveals, and clearly still have half the alphabet to get through. Ah, well. First off, my own gift!! Water Lens Benjamin January, gen, 2.4k, Teen. “The good widow couldn't dump you in the fast section of the river, apparently,” January said. “It had to be the mud.” “If she'd only panicked five minutes earlier,” Rose agreed with a sigh. “We were on the bridge then – although given the state of that particular river I wouldn't necessarily put money on it being that much cleaner.” All my all favorite story tropes are here: bathing together and playing with hair and the OT3 and Rose doing science and there’s even a mystery to solve in here too! It is wonderful and I love it and everyone should give the mystery author more kudos. And here are my other favorites: so come home 12 Dancing Princesses fairy tale, gen, 21.5k, G. A detective is called to a space station to solve the mystery of whether--and how--twelve astronauts are accessing the surface of a forbidden planet. A very well-written sci-fi murder mystery, with great worldbuilding and characters. Recruits American Gods, Mr Wednesday and Mad Sweeney, 4.2k, G. The Norse god of battle and a mad Irish king walk into a bar. This is not a joke, my son: except in a sense, it is. They are Old Gods, it’s the New World, and the game must be kept going. Really great backstory on the gods in WWI. The Locust And I Awoke and Found Me Here on the Cold Hill's Side - James Tiptree Jr., 2.2k, Mature. Letter of Fr. Francisco Nadal to Fr. Bartolomeo Strozzi, 1588. The original short story is about the horrifying effects on humanity of alien sexuality; this fic translates it into Imperial Spain and makes the different cultural setting really work. Because everyone needs some terror on Christmas! And on the seventh... Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian, Jack/Stephen, 11k, G. This decision might be considered the luckiest, as standing near Jack meant that Stephen was not alone in his fall overboard. Or it might be considered the unluckiest, as standing near Jack meant that Stephen was foremost in the splinters' path, when the ranging shot abruptly found its range. Desert island fic with H/C, angst, kissing in the ocean, and new species of birds. AKA, everything good in fic. And for that riches where is my deserving? Benjamin January mysteries, Ben/Rose/Hannibal, 1.8k, Teen. If Ben was honest with himself, he suspected that one day Hannibal might simply vanish from their lives. He desperately hoped that this was not the day. Delicious Hannibal whump plus the OT3! What more could anyone want out of the tiny fandom of my heart? Family Gathering Books of the Raksura, Moon-focused, 2.8k, G. After some of Jade and Moon's first clutch are confirmed to be Royal Aeriat, Pearl wants the fledgelings brought to her bower. Ember thinks Moon should be there too. Really adorable baby-fic, with some lovely Pearl characterization. Home Books of the Raksura, Consolation gen, 4.1k, G. It turned out that living like people instead of monsters required all sorts of skills and tools. Cleaning required soap, and some inkling of how to apply it. Consolation’s flight, having been raised by monsters, not people, had none of the requisite skills. This is the post-canon fic about how Consolation learns to be a person that was my greatest wish for Christmas, and it's everything I could have hoped for. Mordre, She Wroot Canterbury Tales, Wife of Bath-focused, 8k, G. At least one pilgrim will not make it to Canterbury. Yes, you ABSOLUTELY DO need the Wife of Bath solving murders in your life. Just trust me on this. Underworlds: The Life and Afterlife of Richard Upton Pickman Cthulhu mythos, gen, 3.7k, G. Explore the life, works and enduring influence of Richard Upton Pickman, a controversial artist of the early 20th century. This exhibition includes several paintings never before displayed in public, including all of Pickman's graphic, unsettling "horrors" currently remaining in North America. The Boston Globe called Underworlds "stomach-turning food for thought"— but decide for yourself! Young children may find Pickman's paintings frightening; parents are advised to consider carefully before allowing them to proceed. This program serves as a guide to the exhibit. Audio versions for your mobile phone are available at the Parrington museum website. Such a well-done pastiche of a museum guide to a series of horrifying paintings. What Is Begotten The Eagle of the Ninth, Marcus/Esca, 7.5k, Teen. Esca learns the Latin word by accident, from Stephanos of all people. Soul-mate. A soulmate AU with an absolutely lovely take on the canon. Of Devils and Other Fine Things Fallen London, The Wistful Deviless/Zee-Captain, 1.1k, G. Wooing a devil can only end in tears. Really fantastic interpretation of what a relationship with a devil really means. head above water Gattaca, Jerome-focused, 1.2k, G. “Do you know,” Jerome’s mother asks his coach, “how Jerome first started swimming? Did he ever tell you that story?” Absolutely wonderful backstory for Jerome. Suspect Gattaca, Anton Freeman-focused, 1.8k, G. Five things Anton thought upon seeing Vincent was a suspect for murder (and one thing he said). Lovely character study on a minor part of the movie, this feel so right. Attempt #534: The One With The Bees The Good Place, Chidi/Eleanor, 8k, Explicit. “Eleanor!” Chidi looks even more upset as he blurts out, “The universe doesn’t want us to have sex, okay?” Eleanor chokes. “I’m sorry, what?” In which Eleanor and Chidi repeatedly try – and fail – to have sex. Totally hilarious, and also hot. Care and Feeding of Your Janet The Good Place, Janet-focused, 1.2k, Teen. Please read this guide carefully before activating your Janet. So, so, so funny. Operation: Seduce Michael The Good Place, Michael/Everyone, 2.3k, Teen. If at first you don't succeed, send a different cockroach. Really hilarious fic about the plan to seduce Michael, with pitch-perfect character voices and humor just like the show's. so slip your hand inside of my glove The Handmaiden, Hideko/Sook-hee, 2.6k, Teen. Hideko lets Sook-hee teach her how to distinguish sapphire from spinel and obediently bites the gold Sook-hee brings back to her. Hideko and Sook-hee, after. A post-canon fic that is beautiful and just perfection. Who's Got Who The Hateful Eight, Chris Mannix/Marquis Warren, 6.7k, Explicit. Warren makes inventive use of Mannix's sheriff star. And, for that matter, inventive use of Mannix. He thinks that will be the end of it. You know, as much as love Hateful Eight, I never expected to begin shipping Mannix/Warren. What can I say but that this fandom has some damn good writers? And they know their porn; good lord this one is hot. As Ice in the Desert Historical RPF, Richard I "The Lionheart" of England/Saladin, 2.3k, Teen. Saladin visits Richard's sickbed with fruit, and a question in his eyes. Gorgeously written, really some of the most beautiful descriptions I've read in quite a while. Two people on the opposite sides of the Crusades in a moment of peace. all the nameless that keeps us rising despite IT, Stan/Richie/Beverly, 4k, Teen. When Stan went over to Richie’s house after dinner to tutor him for their math test tomorrow he thought he knew exactly what he was signing up for. Beautiful depiction of loss and love and a game of spin-the-bottle. Epilogue Jane Eyre, Jane-focused, 3.4k, Mature. Not everything, Jane learns early on, is real. Deeply creepy alternative interpretation of the canon. I love this possibility. How Else Would Sailing Ships Ever Have Navigated? Jeeves, Madeline Bassett/Honoria Glossop, 2.3k, G. “Do you think,” Madeline said to Honoria as the more impressive parts of nature gradually crept up upon them, “that all daffodils are the daughters of sunlight?” Absolutely adorable fic for some minor characters with a pitch-perfect tone for the canon. the worlds that spin beyond our atmosphere Jupiter Ascending, Jupiter/Caine, 7.8k, Teen. When Jupiter woke up, there was a small metal sphere on the pillow beside her. She blinked at it, because it certainly had not been there when she had gone to bed the night before. Then Aunt Nino began to stir and grumble as she too woke up and Jupiter snatched up the sphere, lobbing it hastily into her half-packed suitcase on her way to go and make the coffee. In which Jupiter is propositioned by a space travel agency (but fancier!) and introduces Caine to her family. Gorgeous worldbuilding and wonderful expansion of the canon. I love the descriptions of other planets in here. Damsel King Arthur (2017), Arthur/The Mage, 3k, Teen. In which there's a girl, a dragon, and a castle, and Arthur resolves not to let the truth get in the way of a good story. Totally hilarious and a great fit with the canon. Those parts, which maids keep unespy'd Kushiel's Legacy, Phedre/Joscelin, 1.9k, Explicit. There are few things Phedre has never done. There's one she's never done with Joscelin. Wonderful hot and sweet fic. Het anal, which is rare to see in fanfiction, but so very well-done here. Midwinter Queen The Lion in Winter, Henry/Eleanor, 1.6k, G. Christmas at Chinon, 1183. Conversation gambits keep the Christmas fires burning. Cynical and regretful and funny and heavy, this story does a better job of capturing the voice of the canon than almost any I've read. By Degrees Mansfield Park, Mary Crawford/Fanny Price, 16.6k, Mature. Her conscience had been disturbed, and she could no longer dislike Mary Crawford enough to be safe from her, if such a thing had ever been possible at all. Really excellent slow-burn for one of my favorite Austen ships, and the Fanny characterization is just ideal. Canada Gold Mean Girls, Regina George/Janis Ian, 3.9k, Teen. Regina joined the CIA to catch bad guys. Unfortunately, this time, that meant she had to work with Janis. Yeah, so it turns out that the thing that's been missing from my life is Mean Girls f/f rival spies future-fic. I am so, so glad that this story exists because it's amazing.

WARNING: The following post is super lengthy. Probably the most lengthy post I’ll ever make.
Decided to release what Reputation would look like if it was a fanfic.
Will contain many unfinished dialogues, finished chapters, and links to pictures. Figured I’d give you all as much of the scope as possible to see how with this whole idea I’ve been thinking.
Enjoy this fragmented half outline/half fanfic piece of work I’ve got!
Intro: For the most part, the same as the original, even if it is now strangely somber toned than the rest of the fic.
Chapter 2: Also stays the same, except the ending is with Fanny being called away on Teen Leader business instead of prepping for a pep rally.
Chapter 3: Fanny and Paddy getting into a fight, over an escaping operative. Most of it would take place in the sky with them spouting insults at each other. This would also reveal that Paddy is Head of the Decommissioning Squad, following in Fanny’s footsteps. The operative escapes from both of them, but Fanny does capture Sonya and Lee from Sector W who were in the area. They would continue their fight at dinner, introducing the rest of their family, with the dysfunctional dynamics between them (mainly Mr Boss not helping at all with their fighting and their mom being more or less oblivious to the fact that they’re fighting at all).
Mom: “Isn’t it lovely to see the 2 of them playing together?”
Maybe, maybe not a sweet moment between Fanny and Shaunie, whom she clearly favors over Paddy for him not being an operative, showing despite Fanny’ abrasive, demanding egotistical attitude, she does still have a heart down there… somewhere.
Chapter 4: Next day. Talk between Fanny and Rachel, maybe pep rally thing still happens. Instead of operatives disappearing though, now a giant KND fight, then teens disappeared. Revealed from the same kids Fanny captured in the previous chapter. Traced back to Patton who had a hand in their escape, gets beat pretty dang hard by a group of bullies that were tipped off by a blonde girl (under the passive-aggressive claim of it being her job) and as a final touch given a swirly. Fanny tries to leave, since she knows he deserved it, at least in the Teen Ninja’s view, but hearing him hurt makes her get pretty uncomfortable, until she decides to help him (The Teen Leader’s job is to look after every teen, even the friendly-to-kid ones), before leaving soaked in toilet water. 
Chapter 5: Investigation, starting with immediate Paddy interrogation. He says nothing, even though she is not convinced. She then started to formulate a plan, or a blueprint, thought the plan isn’t outright stated yet (honestly it’s something big that’s really only done for petty revenge, because that’s how The Fan rolls with things like that). Paddy then says over one of those fork walkie-talkies (they’re in the show, I just don’t know what they’re called) to bring the teenagers back in the morning before anyone gets too suspicious.
Chapter 6: The next day, the missing Ninjas return, but act very different. They keep cancelling their missions, and don’t attack kids. Fanny gets very concerned, but still can’t get any info out of any operative. This is the turning point where she turns to Patton, remembering how he’s friends with operatives. She brings up how she saved him from that swirly (though he would have survived anyway), and states how this means that he owes her something. She more or less tricks him into working for her.
Chapter 7:  Next day, it’s revealed that Patton took their conversation in the last chapter as them becoming friends, and kind of sort of told everyone in the school. Him, still being considered a dork, means that Fanny’s been getting a lot of crud for it by everyone in the school. She immediately goes over to him to set it straight that any relationship they have is strictly business (read: he does stuff for her).  Then she more or less starts Patton off with a series of tests throughout a week, with the first task for him to get rid of his old smell, which he does (later it’ll play a part). 
Fanny: “This is just to see how much you’re willing to do for me.”
Most of them are humiliating; making him wear ridiculous suits, purposefully provoking a bunch of people, Wally included, and being forced to admit some of his most shameful secrets (the bedwetting included, which comes back later). Overall, stuff that Fanny finds funny, but also paints her as a bit of a jerk (which she is. She gets better later).
 Throughout the week and these tests, Fanny talks with Wally of a possible plan to find out what’s going on with their Ninjas. Fanny comes up with a plan to try and kill 2 birds with one stone; ask a favor from her father to attack near an important treehouse sector while she goes out and invites Patton to spend a day with Ninjas, try and get him to act more like a teenager, and prompts him to show up in the morning so they can prepare some things so he doesn’t make a complete fool of himself.
“I thought you said our relationship is strictly business.”
“This is for business. I’m a busy girl, maybe sometime I need you to talk to someone I can’t be bothered with. Do you really think someone’s gonna talk to someone who has unicorn vomit in their hair”, she asked pointing to his rainbow dyed hair. Before continuing, she stopped before asking, “Wait a minute, I don’t remember telling you to get a rainbow hair dye.”
“You didn’t”, Patton explained. “I got it myself when you asked me to get all that hair detangler.”
Fanny stared at him as she thought, That hair was a conscious decision. Oh my god this is gonna be hard.
Chapter 8: (This chapter will be broken up in paragraphs because it’s the longest chapter I have written)
Meetup the next Saturday morning…at 6 in the morning when Patton shows up at her house.
Fanny rubbed her eyes and she grumbled to herself.
‘Who the crud is deciding to bother me at this godforsaken hour’, she thought. ‘I swear if it's Paddy, I'm going to throw him so far-’
Her thoughts were interrupted when she opened the door and finally heard a familiar voice.
"Morning Fan"
Fanny looked up wide-eyed (or as wide as her still half-asleep eyes could open) to see Patton on her door. However, instead of his usual outfit, he now sported a white one-piece footie pajamas, a hood over his head resembling a polar bear. The only familiar clothing he had was his signature pink scarf.
Fanny looked at him, staring at his still rainbow-dyed hair, in a slowly forming face of annoyance.
"What the crud are you doing?!"
"Well, you said you wanted us to go out for something yesterday, so-"
I DIDN'T MEAN AT 6 IN THE MORNING", Fanny shouted at him. "Do ye have ANY idea what it'is t'have a Saturday sleep?"
Patton blinked at her in curiosity. "You have an accent?”
Fanny was slightly taken aback. "No ah-", she then coughed to clear her throat. "No I don't. Anyways, don't you know you're supposed to sleep in on a Saturday?"
Patton nodded his head, smiling. "I did sleep in. Usually I wake up at 5."
‘Of course he does.’ Fanny rolled her eyes. 
"Well, now you know", she said less annoyed. She started to turn around back towards her room. "So, you can go home and just come back lat-"
Before she could finish, Patton took her arm back towards his direction. 
"Negatory, Fan! You said you wanted us to go out today the second I woke up, so, here I am."
"And you didn't bother to change out of your pajamas before coming over?"
"Oh don't worry Fan. I remembered my scarf", Patton said holding up an end to his pink scarf for emphasis.
Fanny rolled her eyes again, before she yawned. "Well, I'm going to change out of my pajamas because I am not about to go outside-"
"The SECOND we got up Fan", Patton interrupted a second time. "Just like you asked."
Fanny looked at him in shock. "Well can I at least get some breakfast first?"
"Way ahead of you on that." With that, Patton pulled pulled out of his pocket a wrapped up rectangular object and handed it to Fanny.
Fanny took it into her hand, still in shock. She looked up to him for a long minute with a look of incredulous.
"You're going to drag me out there right now no matter how much I protest, aren't you?"
Patton nodded. "That sounds pretty affirmative."
Fanny sighed heavily before walking outside. "Well, let's just get this over with."
‘Geez, this guy is stubborn.’ 
Around this time, I thought of the idea that even after decomissioning, Patton would still use the words”affirmative” and “negatory” instead of ever saying just “yes” or “no”. More things change, more they stay the same.
The accent part of the dialogue gets explained later in the fic
She then promptly (after a bunch of morning grumbles), gives him a makeover to make him look more “cool”, just in time when her group (Wally, Bartie, and Virginia), show up only to come with another problem; that Patton’s talking attempt at being cool basically devolves into a bunch of mismatched slang gibberish. 
They’ll be given a signal from Mr Boss to attack that hasn’t come yet. They still have a few hours because it’s still early morning. Until then, they pass the time skateboarding (maybe), phone prank calls,and harassing kids to get out video arcades and give them their quarters, all of which Patton fails at. Eventually, they start daring each other to do stuff during which, Fanny ultimately (and gracefully) dares Patton not to talk anymore. A series of more humorous dares happen (including one for Patton to chug down a 128-ounce soda, this comes back later) which manages to impress everyone, right before Mr Boss gives a signal that the treehouse is now free of operatives. 
They drive off to the treehouse, joking and planning a sneak in while the sector’s distracted. Fanny notices Patton squirming in his seat, but makes nothing of it nor asks (for fear of he’ll start speaking slang again). They go inside the treehouse, which is one that is very electronic based to the point of even having wires on the ground (probably a big tech treehouse reponsible for a lot of the newest 2x4 technology). 
They sneak around, with Patton following visibly fidgeting and uncomfortable, but when trying to speak up is immediately shut down. Fanny hacks into a computer, to try and hack into the Moonbase mainframe to see what they’re up to. She finds out that her Ninja’s are slowly starting to be recommissioned and therefore, no longer wanted to fight the KND anymore. She tries to hack in further to find the weakness or reversal, but just as she’s on the cusp of it, the computer starts to short out. Actually, the whole treehouse and the electric things go out and all haywire. And the source of that can be quickly traced back to Patton for that (this would be in lieu of replacing that algebra incident).
Huge cool escape from wires and sparks and potential fire hazards with them running and maneuvering very fast. Here, Patton ends up being the fastest to the point of even Fanny trying to catch up to him, only doing so by catching onto his scarf. Leave off just in time before getting injured, if leaving treehouse in a gigantic mess. 
After, the start to head off for lunch, where Patton immediately becomes the butt of every single pee joke you could possibly imagine. At first, Fanny takes Patton off somewhere and immediately begins to berate him and how she felt like a giant idiot even thinking to bring him along, to which Patton sadly takes (tears may or may not have started to fall). In another rare moment of sympathy, or empathy, or whatever -pathy it is, (which are apparently becoming increasingly unrare), as Fanny sees him taking all of what just happened and also is happening completely silent and visibly hurt, she immediately pays Wally, Bartie, and Virginia $20 to keep that part of the mission completely mum. 
This is also the turning point in the fic where Fanny gives Patton his nickname Whizzer (though she claims it’s because he ran super fast, though really it’s for both things that happened).
This is the point where the chapters stop being numbered
Probably a few chapters with them bonding even more as well as setting Fanny’s plans into motion. Couple of reveals in each chapter. More for more character traits as the plot moves along.
A reveal that Patton actually does have one teen interest; a love of rock music, albeit slightly older rock music. Turning point when Fanny starts to give him a chance, feeling he isn’t completely hopeless.
Reveal of Fanny’s plan, to more of less stupify all kids up until they turn 13, so they can then train to be Teen Ninjas without any decommissioning or interference. Plans kept in a vault kept inside her Ninja Leader headquarters
Reveal of The Steve, now in college, whom Fanny sees to approve of plan (really just to brag at how great of a successor she is), and how he is Patton’s step-brother (to both of their humiliations).
Show some of Patton’s other abilities aside from running fast. He’s rather strong (this would be something shown early on as some jokes in that he doesn’t know how to control his strength), fit into very small spaces, and hold his breath underwater for a long time. Fanny would probably ask him to be a Ninja, but he’d refuse.
Over the course of this, more Teen Ninja get recomm’d and Fanny starts to lose more control. 
Also a reveal of a Teen version of a Code Module hidden in a vault Fanny has with a special key. 
Even more snooping by the blonde girl in chapter 4, who knows Fanny is hiding something but just not sure of what.
Chapter ?: One with Sonya with Patton inviting Fanny to one of their tea parties. Nothing too big, more of a funny chapter that almost gives away Fanny’s plan to Sonya. Basically them fighting literally under Patton’s nose without him noticing a thing. Would also reveal they’ve been close since Patton was a teen and that Sonya was the one who made him his pink scarf. Also some implication on a friendship with The Tommy being responsible for how he is. The end of the chapter would imply that Sonya does feel upset that this is how Patton has become after decommissioning from respected to almost resented. But it does. A lot.
Chapter ?: The chapter was based off an idea from my friend UniversesCollideInc.
Patton inviting Fanny to a friend of his’s party as a “plus one; which takes place at a Chuck E Cheese like kiddy restaurant and she’s the only teenager who got invited. Of course, there’s friction and a fight in maybe the ball pit or arcade between all of the kids and Fan. Or laser tag, with real lasers. Patton, of course, still doesn’t notice, r just thinks it’s all in good fun. Eventually, a game of truth or dare strikes up and one of the kids asks Fanny a truth question on what was her early teen years like or something to which she lies (Paddy, being invited, knowing her well enough to know she’s lying) about how they were amazing. However later she’d go off somewhere secluded (I had this idea that near Patton’s house there’s like this place like this old abandoned playground with a bunch of trees that he would just go to sometime. It was a place no one else really seemed to know about, no kid or teenager. He mainly brings Fanny there just so there could be somewhere she wouldn’t have to worry about anyone seeing her with him) and cried about it. Patton found her, after noticing her van, and that’s when he learns her middle school teen years were just as lonely and miserable as his.
Fanny: How did you find me?
(Patton opens his mouth to answer but then looks confused.)
Patton: Actually I have no idea.
Fanny: I’d laugh if I weren’t so miserable.
Then cue some bonding over how much middle school sucks when you’re not just like everyone else. 
Would reveal some behind Fanny such as her hiding her accent. After this, she starts talking more like herself, at least around Patton.
Also reveal that the blonde girl is actually an older Numbuh 12, as Fanny still remembers parts of the SLUMBER incident, just the non-KND parts. She still remembers the betrayal, but not without any context.
Then Fanny (while thinking ‘I can’t believe I’m saying this.’) says “You know; I think you’re a pretty brave guy, Whizzer.” And when he’s (naturally) confused, continues “You do what you like no matter other people say. I wish I could do that.”
This would probably be around the point where Patton invites Fanny to a sleepover, which she accepts.
Chapter ?: The next night, the sleepover. Probably when Fanny also meets Patton’s mother, and realizes she’s also a big part of his childish behavior. Then followed by this picture and dialogue (tying in part of the tests thing in chapter 7 and Fanny feeling like a giant jerk over it, as she should), which would also be the start of Fanny admitting (at least to between them) that her and Patton are friends. 
Idea that except instead of Fanny finding out about his partial memories from Patton’s sleep talking, she finds out them from a dream journal he’s got that’s mentioned earlier (because that sounds like something he would definitely have). 
(Idea that requested from @minderrific)
At first she just didn’t care, and shrugged it off. She herself doesn’t have a diary of anything like that “(With my nosy brother? Too risky!”). Later on, when she sees him distraught after waking up to get new sheets, she does find it and starts reading some passages. She doesn’t fully understand it, but she knows something is up.
The rest is still the same after with her comforting him, and asking to continue the nickname, and admitting they’re friends.
Chapter ?: The 2 breakfast pics. Older Numbuh 12 threatens to expose Fanny with a lie that she’s working with him to be on the KND side and betray the Ninjas. Fanny tries to break things off with Patton, but finds herself unable too, and is left with a decision, although she is able to at least stall it for a while. She does meet up with Patton again 
Chapter ?: While Fanny is out, Paddy tries to break into that vault to get that Teen Code Module (needs a name), and tries to find the key by planting a bug on Fanny to follow her. That’s when the he learns Fanny’s been secretly hanging out with Patton, as she’s trying to teach him how to stand up for himself.
Chapter ?: That big punch where Patton knocked Wally out. Older Numbuh 12 decides to utilize it as further proof that Fanny’s getting him against teenagers even more, to the point of physically hurting them, and Fanny is forced to break it off, and makes up excuses to why she can’t talk to Patton. Sonya, with new knowledge Fanny’s behind it, decides to talk to her.
Chapter ?: Fanny still ignoring Patton before ambushed by Paddy, Sonya, and Lee. Giant talk, leading Fanny to ultimately say they aren’t friends, she was just using him to try and get information. Patton overhears, and immediately gets upset at her. Though not sad upset, angry upset. Typical friendship breakup scene (yeah I know, clichéd).
Chapter ?: around a week later, Fanny and Patton still aren’t talking, although she does notice since then his old smell from before he met her has come back (it still plays a part). A successful KND ambush commences as more recomm’d teens have fought off, leaving what Fanny more starts to realize are just a mere few left (she’s been very distracted lately). This is when that bet between her and 12 is finally placed to whom gets the Moon base Code Module also gets the Leader position. Also time with Wally and Patton apologizing, and gain “a weird fighty respect” (directly quoted from @socksandbuttons) and later on where Wally kind of helps him to realize (unintentionally) that Patton really can’t stay mad at her forever, and Fanny realizes she can’t either. Wally and Patton fight again, also with comments on Patton’s hands are bloodied and bruised from their fights and his mom would have a conniption (this plays into a small bit in the ending), and Patton gets word through Wally about the bet about to happen.
Chapter ?: The bet begins Fanny attacks the Moonbase, and Older Numbuh 12 soon follows behind. Giant race across operatives, traps, and doors to the Module. Sonya and Lee take Patton to the Moonbase to help her to be safe. He manages to catch up to nearly catch up before older Numbuh 12 uses him to get herself closer to the Code Module. Fanny notices he’s there from his old smell returning (told y’all it played a part), and she finds out Patton has been really hurt and Fanny having to team up with her brother, Sonya, Lee, and The Tommy to save him, even if she has to give the Teen Leader position up. 
An idea I had was the Code Module being kept behind a giant PB&J sandwich wall, instead now Patton is the one allergic to peanuts instead of Fanny like in chapter 5. If that happened, that would also be something that would be mentioned earlier (probably with Fan trying to bake him something like peanut butter cookies and finding out the hard way) 
They make it to her Headquarters where she keeps some medicine stuff and her and them save Patton. Though now she thinks that her popular Teen Leader days are over. Except Patton managed to snatch the Code Module away right before then, technically meaning HE’S the Teen Leader, and would get all the unconditional popularity and not worry about being picked on just for being friendly to children. And his first act…give the title back to Fanny. Therefore being his last act, and having the shortest Teen Leader term. And Fanny’s first act back in office….give the Code Module back to her brother Paddy, so HE can look like a KND hero (she gets annoyed by him a lot, but she does love him).  She also gives him a small gift that she just labels as the key. Fanny regains her Leader position and ultimately discharges 12 from being a Ninja altogether. Paddy at the Moonbase is hailed as a hero, when he opens up and finds the key to the vault; the same Rainbow Monkey necklace that he gave Fanny right before her decommissioning in the now strangely weird-toned from the rest of the fic intro (she still kept it even if she pretended she didn’t).  But, it’s also revealed during her bet she stole a copy of the device hat turned teens back to their side and it’ll probably turned those teens right back to “normal” (she still has Teens to watch, and she can’t go completely soft).
Epilogue: Ends in winter, a day or 2 before winter break. Cuts to Fanny’s bragging about that story to everybody like she did in Chapter 2. And it shows a much more friendly fight with her brother. Still rough, but more light-hearted and in good stride instead of downright hatred. Afterwards she walks off to school with Patton, who’s got a new scarf, a different looking one, (an orange one, in plaid) as a birthday gift, which happened a month after the Module incident. He’d be dressed in a mix of his usual clothes and the ones from the little makeover Fanny gave him (and cool sunglasses, but not as cool as Fan’s). Meanwhile, Fanny is now wearing that hoodie Patton had made her in the the sleepover chapter. It’s revealed in their passing dialogue that Patton is respected more (at the very least everyone gets his name right) and has become something of an honorary Teen Ninja; not a complete one, because he still refuses to fight his friends, but has a position like a children ambassador (more or less organizing the KND/Ninja attacks on each other to make the kid/teen feud just a little less completely hatred filled). Also talk of Numbuh 12 planning a rebellion, maybe for a sequel hook. And then Fanny gives him her gift; a pair of pink gloves for his hands. Some nice happy cozy ending and all that stuff.
And that’s Reputation! :)
It never became a real fanfic, sadly, but it definitely was a fully developed idea. Or at the very least, a developed one :)
Maybe someday I’ll write it like a real fanfic, maybe not. For now though, I think I’ll stick to making more pictures of the story line with bits of dialogue.
If someone wants to take a whack at writing this, or collabing with me to write this, go ahead, I’d love to see it. Just please credit me for the idea if you don’t collab it with me.
Special thanks for the help from @minderrific, @socksandbuttons, and UniversesCollideInc.
I know the plot’s cluttered, the characters are portrayed very differently than they’re usually written (that was intentional, I wanted to play around with just how different an operative could end up when the decommissioning’s over), and it overall needs some work, but I still like it and despite not truly writing it, this is still my baby and I’m proud of what I made it into.
