———————————————————————
You swirled around your drink, staring at the television behind your friends’ head. Your best friend and roommate sat around you planning which house would be the first stop on the Halloween weekend party circuit.
“Y/N, are you even listening?” Your friend Meredith pulled you out of your trance.
“Uh, no, what did you say?” You asked, meeting her eyes just as she rolled them and looked back in the mirror to keep getting ready.
“I said we have to leave in forty-five minutes or else we won’t get to Sigma Chi in time,” she said. “Allison and Chelsea are already in their costumes, too, so you’ve got to get ready!”
You made a move to stand up and pull your costume on, but didn’t totally shift your focus from the game. The Anaheim Ducks were playing the Vegas Golden Knights and were down by one goal. You searched the screen for number 6, and hoped that things would end up good for your team.
It had been a long week of receiving midterm grades back and trying to adjust your focus to the second half of the semester. Your research lab gave you more hours, which was great for experience, but had significantly limited the amount of time you had to do other things. The last place you wanted to go was to a frat party on Halloween weekend.
“Is this party even supposed to be good? The last one these guys threw was trash, Mere.”
Meredith turned from her desk to give you a death stare. “You’re going to put on your Britney Spears “Oops!….I Did it Again” outfit, and you’re going to turn off the Ducks’ game, and we’re going to have fun, okay?”
“I feel like you’re going to have more fun than I will,” you sighed.
“Well, duh! You’re only half a drink in and I’m trying to get psyched for our matching Britney costumes!”
Meredith was dressed like Britney in the "…Baby One More Time" video and you were her counterpart in a tight red one piece. You both loved Britney, so the costume was a no brainer. She downed the rest of her drink and made a move to pour you a shot to take with her.
"We haven’t hung out in forever and this is going to be fun, I promise, Y/N.”
“I know, I’m just a little exhausted from this week,” you said. You rubbed your eyes and tried to get a little energy.
“You want me to make you a vodka Red Bull? That got you excited last time Trevor and Jamie came down."
“I think the last thing I need is that, Mere,” you chuckled.
“Okay well finish your High Noon and loosen up! You know Jamie wouldn’t want you sitting here having no fun!”
You guessed she was right. Jamie Drysdale, your boyfriend of a year, was over an hour away, doing exactly what he loved. You never expected that you would find someone and date them throughout college, especially not someone who didn’t even attend your college, but here you were. Jamie had swept you off your feet and you hadn’t looked back since. The two of you met during your summer internship as the social media manager for the team. After lots of nudging from Jamie's teammate, Trevor Zegras, you had hung out with Jamie alone and next thing you knew, you were dating a professional hockey player.
You were always so proud of him for doing his best out on the ice. Your friends thought your relationship was so cute and hoped for the best for both of you.
Jamie had gotten you to leave campus and come to a few Ducks games with your friends, but when they were during a busy week, you typically turned him down. Now, you hadn't seen him face to face in almost two weeks. You watched his games as much as you could, even when it interfered with coveted Halloween plans.
"Okay c'mon, no more hockey," she chided, pushing a shot into your hands. "Let's cheers to the fact that the basketball team is supposed to be there and I’m not missing my chance with one of those cuties!”
You groaned while Meredith clinked your shots together and threw hers back. You were about to drink yours to really get your night started when the sight on the television made your breath hitch.
A slow motion replay had just ended on the screen and you could see Jamie stepping off the ice with a trainer holding his jersey. You must have missed the actual moment.
"Mere, where's the remote?" You frantically looked around the room until you spotted the white rectangle.
"No, we're not watching this again, Y/N!"
You rushed to rewind to see what had happened and why Jamie had left, looking so unsteady. Meredith came to stand next to you and put a hand on your shoulder. Once you felt like you had gone back far enough, you pressed play.
"...Jamie Drysdale shaken up here, kinda favoring that left arm," the commentator trailed off and you were left with the slow motion replay.
Jamie had been shoved up against the glass by a member of the opposing team and crumpled to the ground. The commentators spoke about how the hit wasn't anything that deserved a penalty but their words started to fade into the background. Your eyes were glued to the screen.
"And that's not good," the commentator sighed.
"Holy shit."
You felt the remote slowly start to fall from your hand as your body trembled with the weight of what you just watched sinking in. Jamie was hurt. You'd never seen him hurt. The remote clattered to the floor.
"Y/N," Meredith started.
Your body started to move before your mind did as you grabbed your phone and opened it up to Twitter to see what people were saying.
"Hey, no, no. You are not wasting your time on social media, Y/N," Meredith said, taking your phone and setting it down. "Look, I don't know for sure what happened, none of us do. But it's up to you what you want to do next."
Meredith seemed to have sobered up and you instantly shook off the few sips of a drink you had. In your haste and confusion, you forgot that Meredith was probably the best person to have in your corner. She was studying physiology and sports medicine and had worked with a minor league baseball team.
"Is it bad?" Your whisper was barely audible.
"Shoulders are tough, it could be a tear or a separation," she sighed. "The way his shoulder was in a dead hang, it's probably a tear or a separation."
"Does he need surgery? A tear doesn't sound like it needs surgery."
"It depends," Meredith shrugged. "If it's bad enough, athletes are almost always recommended for surgery to speed up the healing process. It's hard to know from only seeing it that quickly."
You nodded.
"Well, I don't know which hospital he's at, I can probably call someone to give me the number of the trainer," you sighed. "I, uh, I feel like I should try to see him.”
She pulled you into a hug and gave you a light squeeze.
"I think you should, too. He's going to be so glad you're there."
The next few minutes were filled with you packing a bag with all of your necessities and a few pairs of clothing. Your school had given you Monday off, so you quickly planned to be in Anaheim for a few days.
Meredith made no attempt to leave you, even when you knew she was supposed to be ready to leave. Thirty minutes later, you had everything you needed packed and were in contact with one of your old coworkers who knew the trainer for the Ducks and gave you his number.
"Love you so much, Y/N," Meredith said while hugging you. "Give Jamie lots of TLC and text me when you get there, okay?"
You wiped your eyes before promising her you would. She shooed you out the door and you climbed into your car to begin the drive to Anaheim.
You played light music during the ride to calm your nerves. Heart pounding in your chest, you dialed the number for team trainer.
A long phone call later, you learned which hospital Jamie had been brought to. You learned from the trainer that they believed he had torn his labrum in his shoulder and was waiting to be brought in for scans.
Before you knew it, you had pulled up to the hospital. The bright lights blinded you in the wake of your destination. Once you parked, you exited the parking garage and texted the trainer to meet you outside.
"Y/N?" A voice called out to you. You turned to your right and saw a man in a black track suit waving to you.
"Hi, it's Chad, right?" You said, offering your hand.
"Yes, it's nice to meet you," Chad shook your hand and turned to walk into the building. You steeled yourself and followed him in.
"He's just finished his tests and it confirmed the torn labrum, like we suspected. Luckily, the orthopedic surgeon that's on tonight will be able to do his surgery before the night ends." he said, guiding you through the hallways. "His parents are trying to get on the earliest flight to come see him, they're hoping to be here by Sunday at the latest."
You tried to keep up his pace and take everything in as you chatted in the elevator.
"Jamie's on the third floor. They've got him on some meds to ease the pain now but they'll get him prepped on anesthesia and a block when they're ready for him."
Chad abruptly stopped in front of a door that he pointed out to be Jamie's room. "I'll leave you to it, I'm sure he'll be excited to see you."
Chad left you there alone, promising to be in the waiting area to keep an eye out for the doctor who would be performing the surgery.
You braced yourself as you gripped the handle of the door. Should you have texted Jamie beforehand?
You slowly pushed open the door handle and peeked your head around. Sitting in the bed in front of you was your boyfriend.
Jamie was dressed in a hospital gown with a blanket covering his legs. The bed was propped up and his arm was in a white sling, resting on some pillows to keep it in place. An IV was placed in the crook of his right elbow to keep him comfortable as possible.
“Hey,” you said quietly, trying not to startle him.
Jamie’s eyes left the television screen in the corner of his room and came to rest on you.
“Hi babe,” he said, a sad smile starting to take over his face. He tried to push himself up a little to greet you but he fell back to the bed in a groan.
“Don’t move, it’s just me,” you reminded him. “I’m right here, J.”
You walked over to his right side and set your bag down on the floor. Your heart melted at the sight of him looking so vulnerable in the hospital bed. You leaned over to run your fingers through his hair to give him some comfort.
“How are you feeling?” You asked, knowing the answer wouldn’t be ideal.
“I’m alright,” he let out a soft chuckle. “Been better, I guess.”
“I know, I’m sorry,” your hand trailed down his arm to meet his hand on the bed.
“We lost the game, too.”
“Shit,” you sighed.
You hadn’t checked the score of the game since you left your dorm. You were solely focused on getting to Jamie as quickly as possible.
“I’m sorry you had to drive down here on Halloween weekend to sit in a hospital with me. You shouldn’t have had to come,” he trailed off, closing his eyes as a wave of pain erupted in his shoulder. His right arm reached to pull his right closer to his body.
“Don’t say sorry, I wasn’t gonna have any fun this weekend anyways, not without you. Meredith was gonna get sloppy and then I’d have to wrangle her back to our dorm,” you mentioned, which was true. The whole weekend was going to consist of you following around Meredith as she got as drunk as possible. You got Jamie to let out a soft laugh. He knew how you and Meredith liked to go out and have fun, even if you went overboard most times.
“You have to have surgery, right?”
Jamie nodded, letting out an exhale as you mentioned the word surgery. You knew he wasn’t a big fan of needles or anything to do with hospitals, so you felt bad for him that he had to undergo emergency surgery.
“They said it‘a a quick surgery, thank God,” he breathed out a sigh. “Feels like my whole arm is out of place and it hurts like crazy."
For the first time since you walked in the room, you really looked at Jamie’s left side. He was trying to keep his body as still as possible so he wouldn’t jostle his arm. You could see faint bruises forming right at the neckline of the hospital gown. You didn’t get squeamish very easily, but the reality of Jamie’s injury was starting to make your stomach hurt.
“Missed you, been forever since I saw you,” he mumbled. You could tell Jamie wanted to change the subject and you couldn’t help but go along with him since he needed the distraction. You tore your eyes away from his shoulder with a shaky breath. Jamie needed you to be here with him.
“I missed you, too,” you said, smiling as he looked you in the eyes. His big blue eyes were clouded over and you wiped a tear from his cheek. “We have Monday off so I can stay with you until then if you want. I can tell you all about midterms and my research lab.”
“Of course I want that, are you crazy? Any Y/N time I can get is appreciated,” he laughed and grabbed your hand to kiss it.
You continued to chat with him until the doctor came in and told him they were going to prep him for surgery. Jamie tensed up but you reassured him that everything would be fine.
“It’s super quick and then we get to go home,” you told him. You leaned down to give him a kiss which he eagerly returned. You pulled back before he could deepen the kiss and make you flustered in front of the nurse who was checking his sheet.
“More of that at home?” He mused. You couldn’t help but smile at Jamie. He was a quiet guy, but around people he knew, he could be outgoing and playful.
“I probably shouldn’t say no to an injured guy,” you teased.
“I'm not just some guy,” he poked you in the stomach and made you laugh. You gave him one more quick kiss before turning to head out of the room.
Chad was sitting outside the room and you sat next to him. He told you he was planning on staying until Jamie was ready to head home, which would be shortly after he woke up and was able to get dressed. The surgery was an easy outpatient surgery, so you figured you’d be home right around midnight.
You got the rundown on Jamie’s recovery and what you should do to help him in the next few days. Chad warned you that he might not get much sleep due to the pain but that he should get some relief from the strong pain medication he would be taking a few times each day.
“It’ll be a little rough, but he’ll be in good hands with you and Zegras. He’ll bounce back quickly with PT,” Chad reminded you.
An hour went by and next thing you knew, a doctor was coming out to tell you that Jamie had woken up and could go home whenever he was ready. The doctor had cleared him and said he would be on the mend.
You went back into Jamie’s room, where you found him chatting to a nurse who was helping him sit up.
“Hi there, he just woke up and was asking for you,” she said sweetly, looking at you.
“He’s a little disoriented but he shouldn’t be in too much pain, the doctor uses a nerve block that will wear off within the day.”
Jamie lifted his head to see you standing there in front of him. He looked at you through half lidded eyes. He looked a little pale from waking up from surgery and moved slowly to get up with the help of his nurse. You took in how soft he looked as the nurse helped him zip up the Ducks sweatshirt that Chad had brought for him.
He now had on a black sling that would keep his shoulder in place and protect him from knocking into anything.
“Hi J,” you said quietly. “The surgery is all done, babe.”
He nodded and mumbled that he was ready to go home as you helped him into the wheelchair that would bring him to your car. Chad said goodbye to you as you left the room, telling you to call if you needed anything from him.
“He said he was ready to spend the weekend with you, what a sweet guy,” the nurse said, wheeling him out of the room.
“Yeah, he’s the best,” you said, blushing. “I got lucky with Jamie.”
You parted ways momentarily to go bring your car down so Jamie could get in easily. With some help, you got him sitting and thanked the nurse before she shut the door. You were really on your own with Jamie now. This didn’t usually worry you, but you wanted to keep him as comfortable as possible.
“Hey, it’s finally just me and you,” you said, looking over at him as you pulled away.
Jamie was leaned back in your front seat with his eyes closed, his head hanging down a little. He looked pretty comfortable, if the content look on his face was anything to go by.
“I told the nurse that I’ve got the best girlfriend in the world,” he muttered. “I told her that I wanna say ‘I love you’ soon. I don’t wanna take too long and miss my chance.”
“I bet she’ll be really excited to hear that, J.”
You couldn’t help the smile that stretched across your face. You and Jamie had agreed to take it slow when you started dating. At the time, he had really just begun his professional hockey career and you had a few more years left in college, so you weren’t looking to rush into anything that you couldn’t keep up with.
Neither one of you had said I love you yet, but more and more you were finding the words on the tip of your tongue. You were scared that saying it first would result in heartbreak, so you refrained from letting the words slip out. Even in his disoriented state, you knew Jamie would never say something untrue. His honesty was reassuring to you and you knew you could tell him how you really felt when he was feeling better.
———————————————————————
You filled Jamie’s prescription and headed back to his and Trevor’s apartment. A text to Trevor let him know that you were on your way back so he could help you bring Jamie inside.
Once you pulled to a stop, you sent Trevor a message and waited until he came outside.
“Jamie? We’re home,” you said, not trying to startle him. You placed a hand on his thigh in an attempt to wake him up.
Jamie stirred, opening his eyes and looking around blearily. He let out a huff of breath as he took in the sling he was sporting. You figured he was truly seeing it for the first time since you had left the hospital.
"Why does my shoulder feel numb?" He questioned, dragging his eyes up to meet yours. You could tell he felt uncomfortable in the sling and felt sorry for him.
"It was from the surgery, J. Does it hurt?"
Jamie seemed to think about it for a minute before he shrugged. You flinched as he did so and he let out a groan. "Can't do that anymore."
“Trevor’s about to come down to help you walk upstairs, okay?”
Jamie seemed to acknowledge you and looked to see Trevor approaching the car. Trevor was sporting a hoodie and shorts and looked a little rough. You could imagine that the team was taking Jamie's injury pretty hard.
Trevor opened the door and you could tell he was trying to smile as he took in the state of his roommate in the front seat.
"Hey Jimmy, you made it home, man," he said quietly.
Jamie, not in the mood to talk, sleepily nodded and allowed himself to be gently manhandled out of the car.
"You didn't win, Z," Jamie mumbled as Trevor wrapped an arm around his waist to walk him towards the door to the apartment building.
"Couldn't focus without you."
You let Trevor bring Jamie in as you grabbed your bag and locked your car. You couldn't help but whip out your phone and take a picture of the two of them from behind. Trevor and you had similar personalities, both extroverted and ready for fun. You bonded with him immediately.
"Yo roomie, you coming or what?" Trevor called, turning back to see you behind them. "I might just steal your little boyfriend for the night if you don't hurry."
"You wish, Zegras."
———————————————————————
By the time you trekked up to Trevor and Jamie's apartment, Jamie was absolutely wiped. Trevor gracefully deposited him on the couch while you set your bag down.
"Thanks for your help, Z," you acknowledged. "Sorry the game didn't turn out well."
"No problem, and no one cared about that after seeing Jamie down. I think I'm still in disbelief," he chuckled. You knew Trevor was probably tired from the game and most likely had practice in the morning to regroup as a team.
"Was he in a lot of pain?" Trevor whispered to you. Jamie was half asleep and the news was playing on the television but you assumed Trevor was trying to be cautious around him. Trevor and Jamie loved each other like brothers and it was hard for him, too.
You nodded, swallowing hard. "Yeah, it sucked to see him like that."
Trevor wrapped you in a hug before you could say anything else, assuring you that you would both get through it together.
"And when you go back to school to be all smart next week, I promise I'll take good care of him and give him lots of cuddles," Trevor assured you.
You laughed as he held up a salute towards you. Trevor had easily become one of your close friends within the past year. You always felt comfortable around him.
"That would be perfect, Z," you said, a genuine smile reaching your cheeks. "Go wake my boy up so he can eat something."
"Eat? He's dead to the world, Y/N!"
"And when the block wears off and he's in pain, he'll wish he took the medicine early to minimize it," you said in retaliation.
Trevor looked at you as he tilted his head sideways, eyes narrowing.
"Does Jamie know he's dating a know-it-all?"
"Yup, and he loves it, Zegras, " you responded teasingly.
Trevor followed your lead, waking Jamie up as you made him some toast so he could take a dose of medicine.
"She's making you toast right now, dude. She'll be back in a minute," you heard Trevor say as you approached them with Jamie's food.
"He was wondering where you went, y'know, since I'm chopped liver," Trevor joked.
"I'm right here, J. I brought you something," you said. You helped him eat some of the toast before taking some medicine. Trevor assisted you in getting him out of his jacket and into his bedroom as you cleaned up. Waves of exhaustion were just starting to hit you. A text was sent to Meredith to update her on the night to which you received a jumble of letters in response. At least someone was having a fun night. You brought your bag into Jamie's room to get changed and go to bed.
When you entered the room, you were surprised by the boys in front of you. Jamie was propped up on pillows, sitting half upright in bed while Trevor made sure he was comfortable. Trevor had helped him change and got him ready for bed. It was a sight for sore eyes.
"Your boyfriend ready for bed, Z?"
"Oh yeah, minty breath and everything. Hey, I work wonders, Y/N," Trevor quipped, always able to make a joke, even when he was tired.
You and Jamie said goodnight to Trevor. He told you he'd be back around noon after morning practice.
Once you had changed and washed your face, you took a deep breath before walking back into Jamie's room. Jamie had woken up a little in after eating something and had turned on Friends to watch.
"Need anything?" Your voice cut through the quiet hum of the television.
"Just you," he mused. You rolled your eyes as you turned out the light and joined him, but he knew you didn't really mean it. His teammates had always teased him about being whipped for you, but he never cared. Jamie loved to take you on special dates and show you around California since you were both still pretty new to the state. He thought you were such a smart girl and you kept him in awe every time you hung out.
"Thanks for tonight, Y/N. I know it wasn't really ideal," Jamie trailed off as you climbed into bed next to him. "I'm sorry I put you in these situations."
"You know there's nothing you need to be sorry about, right? It's not like this was your fault, J."
Jamie didn't meet your eyes as you inched closer to him. You were on his injured side, which was right at the middle of his bed on pillows to keep him steady in the night.
"Hey, look at me," you whispered. "I know what I got myself into when I started dating you. I'm not scared."
He could hear the reassurance in your voice and felt hopeful for the first time that night. You moved a little closer so you could hold his face in your hands.
In the soft light of the television, Jamie met your gaze. "I don't want to stop you from your future, Y/N."
You huffed out a sigh, kneeling and climbing onto Jamie's lap. He reacted in surprise, right hand coming to find your waist as you made sure to give him space for his sling.
"I'm gonna smush your face if you don't listen to me, Drysdale," you attempted, threateningly.
"I'm in for the long haul, okay?" You were now holding Jamie's face in your hands, staring into his eyes. "Y'know, if you want me to be."
Instead of answering you, Jamie leaned in to kiss you. You allowed him to push his tongue into your mouth, sinking into his touch.
"I want you forever," he mumbled into your mouth before pulling away. "I, uh, I know I'm not the best at telling you everything, but I love you, Y/N."
You could practically feel your pupils dilating as a wide smile broke out on your face. "And I love you, Jamie Drysdale. Took you long enough, you dork."
You finished your makeout session and settled into bed next to Jamie. You wrapped a hand around his stomach as you settled in to sleep on your stomach. You were almost asleep before you heard Jamie whisper something above you.
“Shit,” you heard Jamie say.
“Are you alright?” You leaned up, fearing that he had hurt himself, but instead he had his right hand dragging over his face.
“I won’t get to see you in that hot Britney costume.”
“Oh my god, I hate you."
"You said I love you, actually."
"Don't get smart, Drysdale."
"I love you too, babe."

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: Go big or go home!
Ted: Please, for once in your life just go home. I'm begging you. Go. Home.
Robin: I'm going big!
(he just wants his peace. Poor Ted lol)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: I’m serious! They’re watching me! They’ve even got an agent following me! Don’t you believe me?
Ted: Look, it’s not that I don’t believe you… It’s that I don’t believe you and I don’t care.
(he doesn't care. And he doesn't believe her. He is just annoyed)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Ted: Knock, knock.
Robin: Who's there?
Ted: Boo!
Robin: Boo who?
Ted: Why are you crying?
Robin: I'm not crying.
Ted: Hello notcrying, I'm Ted.
(He wanted to annoy her back once and pulled a dad joke since his kids hated them. But jokes on him. She also makes dad jokes they bonded over it somehow. Just a little bit)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin, holding a scooter: Ted! Can I go outside and play with this?
Ted: Sure, whatever. I'm not your parent, okay?
Robin, running outside: Thanks Ted!
Ted, running out after them and screaming: NOT ON THE STREET! STAY AWAY!
(omg. He does care)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Ted: What do you want for breakfast, Robin?
Robin: Gay Cheerios.
Ted: I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING FRUIT LOOPS THAT!!
(Ted is not homophobic. He just doesn't give a fuck. Any Robin just loves to annoy him. Also he doesn't really yell or scream he just says it with a very frustrated voice. Also Holly picks up on Robin's jokes and also calls them gay Cheerios. She just likes to copy Robin)
(lol just realized gay Cheerios is basically the Unholy Trinity from Glee. Love them)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
[Joyce and Robin]
Joyce: *Turns on the kitchen light*
Robin: *Sitting at the table, eating bread*
Joyce: It’s four in the morning.
Robin: Turn the light back off.
(this is funny. Also Robin couldn't sleep so she went to the kitchen eating one of her comfort foods. ✨🥖Bread🥖✨)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Joyce: Robin, can I ask you a question?
Robin: Sure, anything.
Joyce: Why don't you go back to your own house and leave us alone?
(Robin wants to steal Will lol. Like in the last one. And when the Byers moved back she was there a lot with Murray tho.)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Joyce: We all have our demons.
Joyce, grabbing Robin: This one’s mine!
(trying to steal her son)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Joyce: Hey, what’s the name of the guy who lives down the hall?
Robin: His cats' names are Walter and Rose.
Joyce: That's not what I asked.
Robin: That is all the information I have.
(The Byers visiting Robin in her new apartment)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: Can we get a birthday cake?
Joyce: It’s not your birthday.
Robin: The cake won’t know!
(Robin wants a cake for the little apartment tour/party)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Joyce: Robin, why does your bucket list have ‘Die’ on it?
Robin: So I can die feeling at least a little bit accomplished.
(Joyce noticed it in Robin's bedroom when she was looking around. Also oof. But smart. I need to write it down)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: Don’t mansplain this to me!
Joyce: Wh- I’m a woman! I can't mansplain anything to you!
Robin: …Well, I’m a feminist, and I believe a woman can do anything a man does!
(I just found the quote funny)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: Hostage or not, sometimes it’s nice being held.
Joyce: Are you okay.
(talking about the time with the Russians)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Joyce: Life could be worse, Robin.
Robin: Life could be a lot better too!
(so true. So true)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Joyce: How would you rate your pain?
Robin: 0/10. Would not recommend.
(yeah. Like not at all good 👎)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: If bees can be fish and boys can be girls, then why can't my mom love me?
Joyce: I thought I was going to have to yell at you, but now I think I should hug you.
(yes Qvq give her a hug)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
[+Hopper]
Robin, to Joyce: If you see Hopper, give them this message *makes a neutral face*
Robin: They'll know what it means.
*later*
Joyce: oh, and Robin said to give you a message.
Joyce: *makes a neutral face*
Hopper: Oh no. The neutral face of displeasure.
(he's seen it a lot when he was at Murray's... The reason is still unknown 👀)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hopper: Nothing feels better than winning Monopoly. Not love, not sex, not free pizza, nothing!
Robin: I’m sorry, have you tried pizza?
Hopper: Yes, and it doesn’t compare to owning half the board and watching the light die from your friend’s eyes as you take their money and feel your friendship slowly deteriorate.
Joyce: I like you.
(jopper UwU yay. Also oof and yes same)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hopper: I never tell people off the bat that I'm gay. I wait. I wait until they say some homophobic shit and then I laugh and am like "you know I'm Bisexual right?" and watch the look of terror on their face.
Robin:
Robin: I like you.
(omg Hopper is Bi 👀 is that why he is at Murray's 👀)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hopper: What are you drinking?
Robin: Vodka.
Hopper: Straight?
Robin: No, gay. Why?
(Gay vodka ✨)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: School sucks.
Hopper: I know, but you have to do it so you can get a job.
Robin: What are jobs like?
Hopper: They suck.
(Oof. Depends. But yes)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: *sighs*
Hopper: You bored?
Robin: Yeah.
Hopper: Wanna start drama for no reason?
Robin: I thought you’d never ask.
(they love drama. Also they just annoy the others with puns)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: Anyone down to take couples counseling and see at what point the therapist realizes we barely know each other?
Hopper: Idiots to lovers, 20k words, angst with a happy ending.
(omg maybe he definitely was reading AO3 in the other incorrect quotes. Also I would love to read something like that)
Kidnapper: I have one of your friends.
Hopper: Which one? I have seven.
Kidnapper: The loud, annoying, rowdy one who never shuts up.
Hopper: Ah. You have Robin.
Robin, distantly: HEY!!!
(he loves her tho. He is just as loud and annoying when they start making puns)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: I’m so tired.
Hopper: Did you get to bed late?
Robin: No.
Hopper: Did you do something strenuous?
Robin: No.
Hopper: Then why are you tired?
Robin: I’m alive.
Hopper: Sounds exhausting.
(Ah yes. It is)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: How would you like your coffee?
Hopper: As dark and as bitter as my soul.
Robin, shouting to someone behind the counter: I need one vanilla latte with extra cream and sugar!
(he has a big heart)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: I have a 1:30 appointment.
Hopper: Which doctor?
Robin: No, I want the regular doctor.
(They are always trying to get each other with a joke. It's like an ongoing war. And if someone gets tricked the other gets a drink or a snack. Like a little prize)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
[The Sinclairs]
*Sue is casually searching around the room*
Robin: Hey Sue, what’re you looking for?
Sue: My will to live.
*Charles walks into the room*
Sue: Oh, there it is.
(Love this)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Sue: Hey, are you okay?
Robin: Yeah.
Sue: You don't look okay...
Robin: Then stop looking.
(Her mother is being a bitch)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Sue: Do you ever want to talk about your emotions, Robin?
Robin: No.
Charles: I do!
Sue: I know, Charles.
Charles: I’m sad.
Sue: I know, Charles.
(Sue and Charles always talk about their feelings. They are a healthy couple and good parents)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Sue: Are you alright?
Robin: Short answer or long answer?
Sue: Short?
Robin: No.
Sue: Long?
Robin: Nooooooo.
(Lol. Also why. What happened? 🥺 also she finally talked about her emotions)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Sue: WHO ATE MY BREAD?!
Sue: I'M GOING TO K-
Charles: I did?
Sue: Kiss you and buy some more, you haven't been eating anything today Charles.
Sue: *walks away*
Charles:
Charles: They're gone Robin.
Robin, coming out of the closet with bread stuffed in their mouth: Twankh uh!
(Robin loves bread. Also Sue would have said the same to Robin. But Sue also loves bread. They bond over that.)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: One time I went to hand Sue a bowl of soup. I wanted to say “Careful, it’s hot!”, and “Here’s your soup!”, so instead I blurted out “Careful it’s soup.”
(omg yes be careful. Soup could be bad and not good soup 👀)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
[Ronance]
Nancy: Look at me straight in the eyes and tell me the truth, Robin!
Robin: You can’t expect me to look into your eyes and be straight.
(Nancy finally confronted Robin about Steve and Robin came out to her lol. Idk)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: I can't take this anymore, someone needs to take me out!
Nancy: In a dating type of way, or an assassination type of way?
Robin: I don't know, surprise me!
(I hope it was the first option)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: So you like cats?
Robin: Yeah.
Nancy: *tries to impress them by slowly pushing a glass off the table*
(like I said before. Robin loves cats)
(also this is just all just Nancy trying to flirt with Robin since she came out to her)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: My hands are cold.
Robin: Here, let me hold them.
Nancy: My lips are cold too.
Robin: *covers Nancy's mouth with their hand*
(Nice try Nancy nice try. But maybe something a bit more obvious)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: Hey, I’m getting in the shower. Wanna help me out?
Robin: ...Have you never taken a shower before?
(oof. Well I guess you just need to straight up tell her if she doesn't get this l)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: I'm trash.
Nancy: As someone who's environmentally conscious, it's my duty to pick you up. Does 7 work for you?
Robin:
Robin: You smooth motherfucker.
Robin: And yes it does.
(omg it finally worked. Also that was smooth)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: I feel like doing something stupid.
Robin: I’m stupid, do me.
-- (bonus from the Generator)
Nancy: I still have no idea how I’m attracted to you...
Robin: Yeah, well, you’re stuck with me, and no take backs, Mon amor.
(and well the rest is history. Robin speaking in different languages is like the same thing when Careless Whispers is playing for Nancy (if anyone still gets that joke. I don't know who made it)
--(another Bonus from the Generator)
Nancy: Stop doing that.
Robin: Stop doing what?
Nancy: Saying things that make me wanna kiss the hell out of you.
(🥺)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy walking into the kitchen and seeing all their limes peeled: Robin, I love you but, what the h-e-double FUCK.
Robin, sipping coffee happily: I love you too :)
(Oh god. This is why she can't have coffee. Who gave her that)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: Hey, wanna take a shower with me?
Nancy: I have a gun in that nightstand beside the bed. If I ever say no to that question, I want you to take it out and shot me because I’ve obviously gone crazy.
(Woop. Damn. But you would be crazy if you'd say no)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Robin: Two bros!
Nancy: Chillin' in a hot tub!
Robin and Nancy, in unison: Zero feet apart 'cause we're GAY AS FUCK!
(two bros. Sitting on a tree. B e i n g g ay )
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nancy: *Holding up a pack of pencils* These are kinda cute.
Robin: Nancy, that’s gay.
Nancy: We’ve been dating for 2 years—
(I wish)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Leave any requests for groups or just people you want to see interact.
So that's the end again. Hope you enjoyed it.
I kinda wanted to add more of Sue and Charles, but there weren't any good ones.
Also here is the other one with the adults if you haven't seen it. There is the context to some of the jokes I made.
Bye and lots of love ✨💕💖✨💖💕✨

Halloween with the Van Der Linde’s - Part Deux
This is part 2 of a Halloween post I did a while back. There are some lame memes of mine that reference part 1 but it’s of course not a necessity to read the first part. If you want to read it - here it is. Arthur - a pilot from Top Gun - he always thought it would be cool to fly and he loved the movie growing up. He thought about becoming a pilot himself as he loved freedom. However, he hated the idea of joining the air force and he didn’t want to be a commercial pilot.
Tumblr media
Dutch and Molly - Molly *really* wants to do Bonnie and Clyde. Badly. So badly. Dutch thinks the idea is too basic. He thought about doing Elvis briefly. Finally, Dutch decided on King Henry VIII and Molly as a princess. Henry VIII was known for his romantic notions of courtly gentlemanly love and all things grand.......but is more famous for how his wives ended up and his politics. (No, that’s not commentary on Dutch but I suppose you could make an argument for some minor similarities). Molly’s dress is indeed based on the deleted Ball Gown dress.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hosea- David Bowie 100%. He loved David Bowie for decades and since people have said he resembled David, he thought, why not?
Tumblr media
John - Like every year, he didn’t want to dress up. He finally “forced himself” to choose a Yellowstone employee shirt....which then caused the family to goad him into adding pizass to his costume...which was a jacket and some spurs.
Tumblr media
Abigail -Lara Croft, She watched the kids in one of her foster homes played Tomb Raider and she loved it. She always wanted to be like Lara. The only thing she changed was the shorts into longer pants.
”’My legs get cold, Gosh dang it!”
Tumblr media
Sadie - She saw Pearson and Charles dress up like pirates last year and knew she could do a better job. You bet she’d be the most bad ass pirate queen you’ve ever seen....her epilogue outfit even looks like a pirate’s outfit. 
Tumblr media
Charles - A Jedi and he’s comfortable as hell. He was a comfy pirate last year and intends to be comfty again. He almost convinces Arthur to join him, especially since “Jedi fly ships”. Star Wars gave Charles a lot of comfort growing up and he stills enjoys it through the ups an downs. Then Uncle appears....
Tumblr media
Uncle -  is a Jedi, too doing bad Obi-Wan Kenobi impressions.......just to follow Charles around and annoy him.
Tumblr media
 Sean, Lenny and Javier - the three Spider-Men so they can do the Spider-Men pointing meme....just with three Spider-men! Lenny’s back up was Marty McFly, Sean’s back up was Elton John and Javier’s back up was Legolas. Yes, I FIRMLY believe Javier is a “nerd” in the best of ways. 
Tumblr media
Jack - wanted to be involved, but remembered he was spiderman last year and the year before that so now he’s decided he’s Batman. He was not allowed to watch the Robert Pattinson film, but he’s watched the Kevin Conroy original Batman the Animated Series and loved it.
Tumblr media
Kieran - One of the classic Riddler styles, baby! He loves that Jack is Batman - the same version he grew up with. He tells lame riddles all night which annoys some of the gang members, but Jack has a ton of fun trying to figure them out.
Tumblr media
Josiah Trelawny - lost a bet and did not get to pick his outfit. He was horrified until…….it was the ladies who picked it out. They picked out Dr. Stephen Strange.
Tumblr media
Tilly, Karen and Mary-Beth - Charlie’s Angels. Mary-Beth wanted it last year and they didn’t do it so she INISTED this year. Note: I l literally do NOT know ANYTHING about Charlie’s Angels except that Farrah Fawcett was extremely famous because of it. If you know how to match characters to their personalities, go ahead!
Tumblr media
Susan Grimshaw - Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. It’s a fun costume with so many different interpretations so she gets to pick what pieces she wants.
Tumblr media
Micah - the Joker Heath Ledger version because he likes doing the impressions. He is monitored around Jack. (Oops, didn’t know I had 3 batman characters on here. Sorry, but I think it works!)
Tumblr media
Mr. Pearson - Bob’s Burger and people actually like it! 
Tumblr media
Reverend Swanson - Gandalf. He has a rivalry with the “Star Wars nerds”, but it’s all in good fun.
Tumblr media
Leopold Strauss - doesn’t dress up. He thinks it’s a waste of time. Some of the less festive gang members agree with him. However, he does hand out items like pencils which....is useful at least?
Bill - Freddy Kruger - but does not wear the mask around Jack and his sister. He wants to be able to choose when he’s scary and when he’s not...besides, the Marstons and co would kick his ass. (Jack would probably think it’s cool, though.) (Doing a collage image because watch someone report me for posting a horror costume lol I know people who have been reported for less.)
Tumblr media
Rufus -  Jack and Abigail decide Rufus will use his good boyness for good and make up for John’s lack of celebration.
Tumblr media
Amelia Marston - My name for Abigail and John’s daughter. Abigail and John want to raise a strong little lady so who better than a feminist icon like Rosie the Riveter? (To those who don’t know, Rosie the Riveter was a World War II propaganda figure who encouraged all women to work outside of the home for the war effort - usually in factories.

Little Bits and Pieces of Heaven
TAKE ME TO HELL
One-shot #: 34
Disclaimer: One Piece (and its characters) belongs to Eiichiro Oda-sensei.
Reminder: I have no beta-reader. Any grammatical and spelling errors are solely mine.
Warning: OOC possible. One shot.
Rating: T
Note: Happy Halloween! Yes of course there will be a ZoNa Halloween-themed one-shot, Hurriedly written while watching Stardust. Take You to Hell is by Ava Max. Because seriously these two is a match made there. I hope you enjoy it.
Summary: Oh he had seen the devil alright. 
"It's just a story."
Usopp haughtily declared after a few minutes of silence (and after clearing his throat, for like a dozen times). “The-There’s probably no truth in it,” he continued stammering a little before catching himself lest his crewmates realized that he is trying so very hard to be brave.
“If that’s the case then why are your knees trembling?” Nami teased him, her grin catty as ever. She gave him a side-glance and snickered when she saw his legs shaking.
“They aren’t!” Usopp all but screeched at her and she just laughed at him.
They were exiting the Sunny’s galley… after lingering there after dinner to enjoy some additional after dinner dessert of cakes and drinks and some of Robin’s creepy island tales.
“You’re such a scaredy-cat,” Nami commented as she sized him up.
“Oh,” Usopp gasped at that. “And you’re not?”
“Nope.”
He was looking at her incredulously now. “How in the world did that happen? Can someone explain this miracle to me?!”
“Because Robin’s story is not true!” Nami exclaimed making him flinch.
“And how did you even know that it’s not?!”
The tinkling sound of a coffee cup being placed on its saucer caught their attention. Robin smiled amusedly at them from inside the galley before speaking up. “Like I said, it’s just a local folklore.” She gave the cowardly sniper an almost creepy smile and Usopp shuddered.
Nami rolled her eyes at the two. “See? It’s just a story. There is no devil lurking on this island or even anywhere, prancing about, visiting you while you sleep!”
“Probably because no one lived to tell the tale!” Usopp hissed at her.
Chopper who remained silent all-throughout Usopp’s outburst finally spoke up. “Ne, Nami. How sure are you that there is no devil, like Robin told us?”
Nami looked pityingly at the small reindeer beside her. She glanced at Robin, who smiled at her. “Because Chopper it’s just impossible. If there is, then this town’s island would be in a constant state of terror and panic instead of holding a costumed party in the town’s square later at midnight.”
“Oh.”
“And if there really is one, do you think he’ll survive the monsters of our crew? We’ve got our very own demon on board.”
“You’ve got a point,” Usopp puckered his face.
“Still such tales doesn’t come out of thin air,” Robin stirred her coffee with a small, intricately-engraved silver spoon. There was a mysterious smile on her lips that send shivers down Usopp spine all over again.
“Eh?” Chopper froze.
“Robin!” Nami groaned.
“I’m just stating facts. And I don’t mean to scare you Chopper.”
“Gosh I hate this kind of tales,” the sniper complained. “They give me nightmares.” He glared at Robin.
“Just don’t wet your bed later,” Sanji suddenly interjected from somewhere behind the kitchen counter, definitely making fun of him.  
“Excuse me!?” Usopp screeched as everyone burst into laughter. “You know I don’t do that!”
“Well…” the blond cook shrugged. “You seemed shaken up from Robin-chwan’s story.”
“Still I don’t wet the bed!” Usopp growled at him, peeking inside the galley to glare at chef. “Don’t go around spinning lies like that. That’s my job!”
“Oops. Sorry!”
“It’s just what the townsfolk here believe,” Robin spoke again, opening the book resting on the table near her. It was a bound collection of the island’s folklore. “Every island has their stories after all.”
“Plus, tonight is what they call Hallow’s eve,” she continued on, eyes crinkling with subdued mirth when Usopp started trembling again. “The one night they say the devil is freer to linger about.”
“Kyaaaaaah!” Usopp and Chopper hugged each other.
“Robin!” Nami shook her head.
Usopp suddenly pointed a finger at her.
“Why aren’t you scared Nami?!” He questioned her indignantly. “Why aren’t you cowering like us, like the coward that you really are!”
The orange-haired woman glowered at him. “Because the story’s obviously not true! I mean come on! How gullible can you get Usopp?”
“Hey I’m not gullible!” Usopp retorted, slumping back against the railing. “After everything we have encountered while sailing, the possibility is there! I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep tonight.”
“Zoro! Zoro!” Chopper suddenly cried out, calling for the swordsman who just came out of the boys’ room. He jumped from the railing and immediately bounded towards the tall lad. “Can I sleep beside you tonight?” He asked the green-haired man with pleading eyes.
“Huh?” Was Zoro’s only reply as he stared at him.
Usopp followed suit, even tripping at his own feet as he approached Zoro. He clung onto him once he was near.  “Me too Zoro! Please?”
“Tch, what is this about? I’m on watch tonight.” Zoro grunted, shooting Usopp a displeased glance. He looked at the reindeer doctor before shifting his gaze at Nami.
“Did Robin tell them another of those creepy stories of her again?” He directed the question at the map-maker.
Nami nodded with a cheeky grin. “I guess Usopp and Chopper will be accompanying you on your watch.” She rested her arms on the railing and leaned forward to peer at him.
Usopp looked at her. “This is the best choice! In case the devil decides to visit us. We can sic our very own demon at him!”
“Good choice actually,” Sanji’s loud and laughing voice can be hear from the galley. “His ugly mug will scare the shit out of the devil himself.”
Zoro scowled at that. “Shut your trap ero-cook and just do the dishe!.” He shouted back and turned to glare at Usopp, who instantly murmured an apology at him. Then he scratched his head looking a bit irritated. “What the hell are you going on about Usopp?”
“Robin told us that the devil walks about at midnight to steal the souls of the innocents especially at a Hallow’s eve night like tonight!” Chopper explained.
“Devil?”
“Yeah!” Both Chopper and Usopp nodded.
Zoro went silent for a moment. His gaze darted from Usopp to Chopper who were both still clinging to him. Then Nami.
“Fine,” he finally relented with an annoyed sigh, not taking his eyes off the navigator. “You can join me in the nest.”
“Really?” The two younger lads squealed delightedly, surprised that Zoro agreed so easily. “Yes!!!” They both shouted in glee.
"Ok! It's time to hit the sack!" Usopp announced. He all but drag Zoro towards the ropes leading to the crow’s nest much to the katana wielder’s protest. “Have a good night Nami, Robin, Sanji!” He yelled as he pulled at the large man.
“Good night you guys!” Chopper echoed, pushing at Zoro’s legs to get him to move.
“Oi stop it you two!”
“Have a good sleep you guys!” Nami waved at them, watching with keen amusement as the two pushed and pulled Zoro with them.
“I know it’s just a legend and it’s not really true,” Usopp stated in a confident voice as they made their way across the lawn deck. He gave a nervous laugh as he scanned the island on the starboard side of the ship. “But still it’s better to be safe—”
"No you're wrong." Zoro grunted.
Usopp froze in his tracks and Chopper bumped into his leg.
“Huh? Usopp asked in a hushed tone, eyes widening as he and Chopper exchanged glances. 
"You mean Robin’s story is true?" Chopper inquired in a shaky voice. 
“Hnn…”
Usopp stared at him. Stared really hard. Zoro doesn’t believe in that kind of things, right? He is one of the most rational and practical person on their ship.
So why?
"You mean you believe it? And you've seen it?" Usopp voice was the softest of whispers. “The devil?”
Zoro looked at him straight in the eye.
“Yeah.”
“Maybe you’re just… drunk?”
“I’m not.”
The swordsman didn’t bother to elaborate anymore. Instead, he just continued making his way to the rope ladder leading to the crow’s nest, climbing it and leaving Usopp and Chopper in a frenzy of excited and nervous chatter. 
Oh he had seen it—the devil from Robin’s story—in all its wickedness, in all its fiendishness. 
Its sole purpose is to wrap its vicious claws around you… grasping your mind, body and soul into its vile clutches.
He had seen the devil.
With its long hair, the color reminiscent of the fires of hell where it had come from. Its eyes, an endless pool of evil that would get you under its control.
Its smile—beguiling, captivating... 
He looked towards the galley and his gaze met that of Nami’s—who was still leaning at the railing; a smirk gracing her lips, watching them… watching him intently.
Oh he had seen the devil alright. 
It comes for him at night.

Top 10 Character Essence
It's tag game time again!
@tabswrites and @hollyannewrites challenged (and I do mean challenged) me to name my top ten characters "decided by their essence or meaning to you."
  A challenge to give your Top 10 favourite characters, based on their ESSENCE. They have to be favourite characters that also have a deeper literary value, where you enjoy their specific role in the story, and this means that the list also should exclude characters that would normally count as favourites if for purely nostalgic reasons. They can be from film, tv, or written media, anything.
Thank you! I hope I fulfilled the challenge the way it was meant to be fulfilled!
Although TBH, I can't believe I'm even attempting to tackle this. I have to choose only 10? I think it goes without saying this list is not exhaustive, nor does it represent all of my favorite books/movies/media. I really did try to capture the question by focusing on "essence and meaning" (including how they've influenced my own writing and not just "random characters I like." I also have to attempt not to write an essay for each because we don't want to be here all night.
Charlotte Doyle (The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi) Rich girl in the early 1800s gets on a ship with a mutinous crew and an evil captain, joins the crew, defeats the captain using only her wits, miraculously makes it home, AND THEN DECIDES TO GO BACK TO SEA AND BECOME A SAILOR. I read this all in one sitting one night when I was about 15 (after avoiding it because I thought it looked boring) and then literally decided to reshape my entire life based on it (I'm not kidding). Yes, I actually took up sailing. Also, there's a hot sailor that she obviously has chemistry with but it's left unresolved, and no one has ever written a future fic about it to my knowledge, and that's a CRIME. So yeah, step right up.
John Bender (The Breakfast Club) He's not just the original '80s bad boy with a Dark and Troubled Past, but what most people forget about him is that he's also hilarious. It's a rare combination. Honorary mention to his love interest, Claire, and not just because of her name.
Fantine (Les Miserables by Victor Hugo) - Mostly the book version of her, though she obviously has a showstopping number in the musical as well. She was the sad, angsty character I needed during the most sad, angsty period of my life. She was a poor, lonely urchin who found fleeting love and happiness in the spring, got abandoned and pregnant in the winter -- and it only got worse from there. Also, apropos of nothing, at one point, I wrote a short story featuring a dog by the same name -- who, um, died.
The Artful Dodger/Dodger (Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens/Oliver & Company) - I'm including both the human version and the dog version of this character because I love them both (though I actually prefer the Disney movie, lol). They're both thieves with devil-may-care attitudes, with soft spots for those more vulnerable than themselves. Plus, the dog version is Billy Joel, wears sunglasses, and plays piano with his tail, which -- I don't care what anyone says -- will never not be cool.
Satine (Moulin Rouge) - She was the beautiful, sparkling, singing, dancing tragic sex goddess I so badly wanted to be. So much so that as recently as five years ago when I reluctantly dressed up for a Halloween party, I chose her silver-dress-and-top-hat ensemble.
Rick Blaine (Casablanca) The most endlessly quotable character from one of the most endlessly quotable and romantic movies of all time. He sticks his neck out for no one. Except, oops, wait, he does. The OG Hollywood antihero with a Dark and Troubled -- whatever, you know the drill. Plus, he's also my dad's favorite character in his favorite movie (and I discovered it because of him), and so this pick has sentimental meaning for me.
Leah Price (The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver) - When we read this book in high school, she was the least popular character, probably due to her unwavering love and support for her dad, even though he was a singular-focused religious zealot who destroyed his entire family by dragging them into the African jungle in an ill-thought-out missionary trip. And then she married a guy with some of the same qualities (but he was better, thankfully). But for whatever weird reason, I related to her most. Anyway, for class, I wrote and tried to perform a monologue where I played her but forgot 90 percent of my lines. Oh well.
Mary Lennox (The Secret Garden by France Hodgson Burnett, I found the movie version fairly meh) There were a lot of spunky, iconic childhood book heroines to choose from, but she was Mary, Mary Quite Contrary, and so I choose her. (I got told to "smile" a lot as a kid). Also, as I mentioned in a previous post, I was a Mary/Dickon shipper before I even knew what shipping meant.
Neal Caffrey (White Collar) - Does anyone remember this show? I have no attention span for TV, and this is probably the last scripted show I remember watching every episode of during its original run, which is saying something. Everything I know about being a con artist (in fiction, lol) I learned from this charming, charismatic art-forger-turned-FBI-consultant. I think he also has the honor of being the subject of the first actual fanfic I ever wrote.
Iris Chase Griffin (The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood) I also had to pick one character of my favorite author, so Iris gets the crown. She starts off the story as an old lady looking back to when she was forced to marry some rich asshole instead of the science fiction writer (with a past that was -- wait for it -- Dark and Troubled) who BOTH she and her sister loved, and meanwhile, her sister became a writer and when she died it was discovered that -- oh, just read the goddamn book, I won't spoil it for you here.
Honorable mentions, in no particular order:
Violet Westing (The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin)
Jack Kelly (Newsies the movie, NOT the stage musical)
Turonga Leela (Futurama)
Vicky Austin (The Austins by Madeleine L'Engle)
Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt-Bukater (Titanic) I can't decide between them, so they're getting an HM.
Palaestrio and Milphidippa (Miles Gloriosus by Plautus) Same as above.
Michael Furey (The Dead by James Joyce) Who is, in fact, dead throughout the story -- but being alive wasn't one of the requirements.
I wish I could include a Star Wars character, but could never decide, so let's say, oh, all of them, except that one you hate.
In case the following people want to do what I did and spend several WEEKS on this fascinating but life-ruining (in a good way) tag game: @mysticstarlightduck @enne-uni @kixngiggles @obviousknife + OPEN TAG because you don't even have to be a writer for this one, so I'd be interested in hearing from anybody who wants to chime in!

Putting on Hairs - Post Production: Spooky Scary Skele-puns
Primary Pairing: N/A Starring: Ai, Yuu Also Starring: Kanata Secondary Pairing: AiRina Words: 492 Rating: G? AU: Theater, Monsters
---------
Author's Note: Bonus 2nd entry for the 14th
Summary: Ai has some Halloween themed puns to share
---------
“Want to hear some skeleton puns?” Ai asked. “They’re very humerus!”
As if Yuu wasn’t already laughing hard enough, she nearly collapsed when Ai used her doppelgänger abilities to make herself look like a skeleton.
“I am the Pun-kin Queen of Halloween!” Ai proclaimed, changing her head to resemble a jack-o-lantern. “Just having gourd time pumpkin’ out some Halloween puns!”
The cast and crew of the Sonoda Kurosawa Theater was gathered in a private party room in the back of the Kousaka Café after another day of rehearsal and related work. It was another place they could truly be themselves outside of their homes and the theater itself. And with Halloween looming at the end of the calendar page, everyone seemed to be getting into the holiday spirit.
Heh… holiday spirit. Rina thought to herself. Ai-san would like that one.
She would have said something aloud, but her girlfriend was on a roll, and she did not wish to interrupt. She loved watching Ai amuse herself, and others like Yuu, with simple and silly puns. Honestly, anything that let her see that wonderful smile was good, but puns in particular pleased Ai greatly and brought out some of her best smiles, surpassed only by those she wore when spoiling Rina.
“Ne, Yuyu, did you know that it’s easy to fix a broken jack-o-lantern?”
“Oh?”
“Of course! You just use a pumpkin patch!”
Yuu guffawed, and in doing so, bumped into one of her girlfriends beside her.
“Oops, sorry Ayumu.” Yuu managed to stop herself from laughing enough to get out. “Oh, and Hoppy Halloween!”
Now it was Ai’s turn to burst out with laughter. “I get it! ‘Cause Ayu-pyon’s a moon rabbit! Oh! Speaking of animals!” Her form grew and she leaned forward to drop her hands to the floor as she took the shape of a large quadruped. Or at least the skeletal frame of one. “Look! I’m a nightmare!”
“Mmm… I usually consider a good nightmare to be a delicacy.” Kanata drawled, moving around the couch to pat one of Ai’s larger rib bones. “But I’m not sure about this one.”
“No bone apple tea for you?” Ai asked, earning a new bout from Yuu.
“Sorry, no.” Kanata shook her head. “But I do have a bone to pick with you, Ai-chan.”
Both Yuu and Ai laughed.
“You didn’t tell me you could take larger forms like this.” Kanata continued, unperturbed by the interruption.
“Ai-san can take any form Ai want!” She paused. “Well, maybe not a whale. I think something that big might be a bit over-whale-ming for me.”
“A horse is fine.” Kanata said. “Let me talk with Chika-chan about possibilities for our production and I’ll get back to you.” She patted a rib again and moved off to find the playwright.
“Ne, Ai-san, Ai-san!” Yuu spoke up. “If we got you a sword and some armor, would that make you a knight mare?”
And the pun-fest resumed.
---------
Author's Note Continued: If I hadn't been trying to write and post this quick before the deadline, I may have squeezed in some more skele-puns. But the ones I did include were fun, imho.

Happy Birthday to Sirius
Chapter 2: October 28th 1981
1023 words
After planning the whole party James was tired, but he felt like he was at Hogwarts again. He felt like everything was great and when the term ended he was going to be with his parents with Sirius again. They were going to talk all night about Remus and Lily and sometimes James would jokingly bring up dating Regulus and Sirius would hit him.
He wanted to be with Regulus again.
He wanted both Regulus and Lily again.
He felt like everything was all jokes, pranks, and friends again.
He felt like he could be selfish again.
He took a deep breath and pick himself up. He had work to do.
Peter and Remus were already waiting when he arrived at their patrol area. Remus was even more quiet and weak. It wasn’t even close to the full moon now, something was definitely wrong. Peter was talking non-stop but nobody was listening to him.
It was a small area and usually without any death eaters. After checking for the third time Remus stopped. “Guys, I am really tired. Can we stop for a second?”
James went to his side and transformed a stone into a chair without thinking. It was second nature to help Remus now. He felt even worse. He wanted this feeling to go away, this unsure feeling about Remus. Peter didn’t hear them and he continued walking for a while.
Remus put his hands on his head, “Prongs, can you call Wormy? I think he didn’t hear us.” James nodded, “Pete!”
“…and then Dorcas came into the room without her shirt! You should have seen Marl—” Peter stopped and looked behind him. “Oh, when did you stop?”
He ran to them and transformed another chair for himself. “I didn’t feel good Wormy,” Remus answered. “so Prongs helped me as always.” he smiled at James.
James didn’t smile back.
“So…” Peter said ending the uncomfortable silence. “when should we come to you for Sirius’ birthday Prongs?” James took a deep breath. “What birthday?” Remus asked. “Oops… sorry…” James put his hand on Remus’ leg, and Remus flinched. “Well Moony,” It felt wrong calling Remus Moony, Moony was one of his best friends that James trusted fully, but Remus was someone else entirely now.
“thanks to Wormy, you will know now. Remember when you said you wanted to see Lily and Harry?” Remus nodded, Peter looked on guard, more than he should be. James didn’t like that Peter was this watchful. Maybe he was going nuts like him. Why is every one of his friends acting weird all of a sudden?
“I thought— Lily and I thought we could plan a birthday party for Sirius, it’s not going to be a big deal but I think we need to cheer up a bit.”
Remus smiled, “Yeah, it’s a great idea.”
He looked at the sky it was a clear night, and you could see the Orion constellation. “We —” Remus’ eyes watered, James knew there was something. “me and Sirius, we fight constantly and it’s getting —”
“You are talking like it’s news Moony, you always yell at each other.” Peter interrupted Remus. “Pete, don’t,” James warned.
Remus looked even worse if possible.
“Moony, don’t mind me! Sorry!” Peter said without any shame in his voice. He was mocking Remus. It wasn’t like Peter.
“No, no, you are right Wormy. I did something I shouldn’t have done. Sirius doesn’t know it yet but I think he has an idea. I am pretty sure he got it right. We might break up. Merlin! We might have already broken up. I don’t know. I miss him. He is always out and when he is at home he doesn’t talk to me, he looks at me like — he looks at me like he looks at his mother.”
Something was definitely wrong. Sirius who is in love with Remus since he was fourteen doesn’t even talks to him. Something was wrong and now James was sure he can’t fix it.
“Remus,” said James. “do you have time after patrol?” Remus nodded, and James continued, “Wormy you go home we got it from here.” Peter didn’t even argue, he got up and transformed his chair into its original form.
“Come to mine at 9 pm on Halloween night, I’ll call Sirius tomorrow,” Peter said okay and went to his home. “Now,” James said looking directly at Remus’ eyes. “Let’s talk a bit, yeah?”
James listened to Remus all night letting him cry, scream, laugh, mourn… He let Remus be himself again. They wandered around James’ home and when he looked at Remus again, James couldn’t take it.
James hugged Remus.
Prongs hugged Moony.
Remus didn’t let go for a while, it was nearly sunrise and he said something James will never forget.
“I killed someone.”
“What!” James couldn’t think, he wanted to disappear again.
“I — I killed someone,” Remus said again.
“I don’t believe you. You wouldn’t. Moony wouldn’t.” James was yelling at Remus.
“Moony didn’t. I was myself.” James wanted to run. He wanted to escape it was too much.
“He was a death eater. He was alone and talking to someone about something, I didn’t see it. He said they planned to kill you, Lily, and Harry. I couldn’t stop myself. I don’t remember doing it. Sirius found me covered in blood. He cleaned me and he stopped talking after that. They know your address Prongs. They know everything. I talk with Sirius but he didn’t believe me. I went to Moody and Dumbledore but they didn’t do anything. They said you were safe. You are not safe, Prongs. They thought I wanted to visit you, so that's why I lied to them. It’s not that. Please believe me!”
James wasn’t thinking.
What would his father do?
What would his mother do?
What should he do?
He didn’t know, but he wanted to trust Remus. He did want to trust him. So he did. Even if this was the last thing he would do.
“Let’s go get Lily and Harry.”

[concerning magical malevolence…]
COLLEGE *dies*
I’m sure you’ve all been wondering… what happened to Magical Malevolence! It’s been so long, where is it?! Good question! I have some good news and some bad news and some… slightly better news!
In short, the good news is ya girl isn’t failing her college classes! However, it took up SOO much of my free time that I just could not work on it. However! I’ve finished one of my classes for the semester which means my free time schedule has opened up which allows me to balance my free time with my work time!
However, now comes the bad news… Inbetween my very little free time I worked on the essence. This resulted in designs that were cute but looking back now? It isn’t the kind of final design I want to put out. It didn't represent what the essence was supposed to stand for! So... the bad news is I have to start over or else I'll just never be satisfied!! In the meantime, I've also studied different fantasy-esqe outfits on Pinterest, as well as actual IDV A-tier and S-tier costumes and different styled outfits [like Twisted Wonderland's Halloween Event, or my various different dress-up games lol] and I have a better idea of what I wanted to do!! Which is NOT what I rush finished oops.
And the slightly better news??? I am better now and I'm restarting the essence. yay! I am going to reveal the old designs below the cut but I'm not keeping them as the final designs so! Yeah! I'm also going to edit the line-up list a little! [Don't worry! Any roles that are already filled won't be removed or changed! New/changed roles are still up for grabs!] Just a little bit, some characters will be swapped or removed entirely but don't worry don't worry! I'll post the new list soon enough! But! I am working on them! They will [hopefully] not take forever and a decade!
TLDR; i don't like the old rushed designs i did before i got swamped by college work so the designs are all back at square one. But the essence is still on! look under the cut for rushed designs because what else am i gonna do with them/lh
yeet
Tumblr media
"Mister Mushroom" HIS DESIGN IS CUTE I LIKE IT STILL BUT I think I can do better!! It doesn't really represent the type of character he is supposed to be, so!! Let's try it again!!
Tumblr media
"Innocence" it was a really rushed design and it's just so. hmm. I don't really like it as much as I did at the time it's not. it's just not the vibe!! i love the colors though.
Tumblr media
"The Voices" had a very rough sketch set that never got finished due to not getting the other 3 voices but they... they're kinda plain ngl but I do have more planned for them and their outfits! At least now I do lol
Tumblr media
"The Storyteller"... funny story but my app crashed while i was in the middle of drawing her and I lost my good sketch and I was so. so angery. i know angery isn't a word but damnit it is now!!! and i wanted to separate her from her Neonized counterpart but I just. hmm. i can do better >:) might make her more fantasy based than how she is in reality i dunno yet
Tumblr media
"The Narrator" was probably my favorite design of old,,, it just captured the childish fantasy vibes the essence was supposed to have and it's a nice mix of the fantasy world and the real world [or his ties to the Narrator] he's just a silly guy. Still, I feel like there's something more than can be refined sooo here we go >:)
those were all I got to do before I got swamped :( but thankfully it's all i did before i got swamped so i don't have too many to redo!! anyways I'm sorry it took so long but!! hopefully! I can give you all updates soon!! real updates!
okay bye off to do Kitty's skin then cry and redo lets goooo

The way Carly pulled Josslyn into the house was how she needed to handle her & Michael after she divorced Sonny. Her marriage & divorce with Sonny has nothing to do with those kids & they need to stay out of grown folks business. Ofc Carly only backed off Nina cause she is holding DNA test secret which is totally going back fire once Willow is dying or dies & once again Carly kept Nina from her child. Excited to see her & Drew go to prison for insider trading.
Josslyn freaking out about Cameron is definitely her guilt of feelings for Dex. I’m worried about Spencer, he basically turned on Esme in the end & has the least amount of protection. I hope someone warns him or at least informs him. Looks like Valentin is back which means Laura & Kevin should be home as well.
It would be ironic if Portia had a mental breakdown once the truth comes out because Jordan is right she had 20+ years to tell Trina & Taggert the truth, yet she absolutely refuses. It doesn’t seem like she would tell even if Trina could become schizophrenic
I agree. What happened with CarSoNa has nothing to do with Michael and/or Josslyn. And every time they harp on the topic, it really boils down to them being mad their mommy isn’t married to the rich mob boss who gives them anything they want. Plus, you can see how their obsession with Sonny has actively impacted the people they claim to care about, and there’s no better example than with Dex. Michael allowed him to get literally fucking tortured and Josslyn is not only stalking him because she’s horny, but she’s actively belittling him and trying to control his life. I give kudos to Carly for actually trying to move on with her life and though it’s not nearly enough, I’m also glad she’s telling her children that shit happens and life goes on. 
Now, after this whole Jacksonville debacle, the only thing that’s changed about Carly is her last name. She was still the same person at the Halloween fair, she was still the same person when Drew told her she committed insider trading, and she’ll still be the same person when the truth about Nina and Willow finally comes out and Willow is seconds away from death. The dragging from Nina will be justified, especially since she did this same shit with Nelle! 
I find it ridiculous that she’s concerned out of guilt. She said she didn’t want to lose Cam as a friend - why couldn’t that be her reason? She does love Cam still, even if she’s falling out of love with him, but no, we have to sit here and accept this BS “romance” in Jex when it’s just Joss lusting after another man. I think Spencer will be fine until he’s released from Pentonville, where he’ll be less protected. And if the killer is ADA Arden and/or Rory, he’ll be the most in danger for sure. Maybe Sonny or Victor will actually care about their nephew and give him protection. 
I’ve gone on record as someone who is very much not a Portia fan, so if she has a meltdown over the truth coming out when it was on HER to be upfront about Trina’s paternity and potential health concerns, far be it from me to feel bad for her. You had 20 years to say something, now your secret-keeping is blowing up in your face. Oops 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wally anon: Solidarity fr. 🫡 Yup lolll (like the people who want Stu back alive). And you knowww he could get pretty...forceful, if you feel me. 👀 The thing that kills me is that she was. supposed to + be the primary target in the would-be 5 until ~those~ producers got in the way even though that would've made 5 one of THE best installments cause you just DON'T get plots like that often. 😫 Ah, do continue @ don't like Hughie (but huh, okay @ too physical). Yuppp, you get it. If all 3 killers are not BRINGING IT, one needed. to be cut & he was that very one (they reallyyy dropped the ball on not seeing the potential in ~bisexual Chad~ & that's all I have to say on that!) Melissa r e a l l y sells crazy so well that it pains me Sam has not had a truly. Formidable killer to go up against yet. Cause she's out here stabbing THE fuck out of people & they're all in the ~try hard to be Billy & Stu Olympics~ djdsk. 🔪 🔪 🔪 (yeah, I know, it wouldn't fix everything, it would just be a start lolll) I feel like that describes a lot of your affinity for slashers (railing you), the danger 🫣 That's the thing, the Halloweens were all indie until 6 with Dimension so they had not excuse in 4/5 to not just do what 1/2's mask did dhdjdla. Yupppp. Literally Sam Mindy Anika Tara AND Chad's big tall ass. Had two. killers attacked in that second, okay, yes, I'd understand hustling outta there. But we know for a fact it was Ethan in that scene & we knowww they could've overpowered that twink, like come on now. 💀 (oop, yup, we fully twinned with our thought process there lollllll)
Hope you enjoy 🤭 Up against a wall fucking is veryyy underappreciated. I know it's impractical unless you have the strength to pull it off, but it just has that something to it 🫠
And you knowwww he'd be talking dirty as hell to you from your reaction to him spitting. 🫣 Yupppp, he'd be stroking you fast cause he. has to be the one to make you cum.
Oh do not get me s t a r t e d on Wanda. She was another one of my favs & even if I liked seeing her go wild in MOM, that movie did e v e r y body involved dirty, especially coming on the heels of Wandavision. It's soooo wild to me how nothing Bruce + Clint are now when (issues with Whedon notwithstanding), the very 1st Avengers movie ate sooo much at nailing. each & every character. And we'll have to keep holding out hope that will persist for Bucky cause whewww at some of the shit the MCU has been getting up to lately...😬 Oh you are speaking my language cause I fr can not s t a n d Tony + the bias the movies had in favor of him akdhdhd. Nothing against RDJ cause literal perfect casting, but Steve was quite literally always. the one speaking facts & had to deal with Tony constantly going on his little passive aggressive billionaire power trips thinking he knew better. Oh, I'll bet. 👅 Maybe I will @ look it up 👀, but yeah, that doesn't surprise me cause I've seen a lot of favorable responses to him. I just never got around to watching the series. 🙈 I feel that's a pretty apt description of her. 👍
Which seems like an exhausting existence to lead.
(I'm sure any & all dishes could benefit from his extra special ingredient 🥴) Yuppp. I had read the script before watching the movie so I knew what was coming but the. scene was still sooo hard to watch but that's why you have contingency plans 🙌 As sweet as his cu-🤫
It's crazy and I'm so happy they didn't entertain Stu returning. Oh I feel you... I love when they get forceful and controlling>> Dom!Roman is happily making me see the vision clearly (and not walk straight.) And yesss I hate that they meddled with it so much and stopped it from ever happening. It's a rare thing to have the villain win and then be the victim in the next movie, pretty inventive. Idk, now that I think about it... Hughie issss🫣 honestly all of the boys on The Boys are (Jensen bias again sksidhds). EXACTLY AND CHAD AND MINDY COULD'VE been gay/bi twinsssss omg. I feel like each killer has contributed to her growth, but its a shame we won't see the killer for her to face in 7... I'm happy Melissa left (and Jenna too, and the director) but that means we'll never get closure unfortunately. Exactly!!! They should have been able to capture the magic (and hot take, the 4 mask is so bad I almost love it. something weirdly nice about it. h20 was the worst for me, I think being able to see the eyes was the worst part of an otherwise decent mask tbh. Also before I go any further John >>> Allison just saying.) And so true. Chad is plowing that twink ass straight out of the apartment. But also... knowing he was responsible for the ladder scene is so silly. Like he did that?? No wonder the twink was struggling to get Anika off... it was fruit on fruit crimes.
Spiderman is perfect for that>>> not to bring him up but ive always said he could make fucking on the ceiling work (you against the ceiling but also I see the appeal of being held by him while he's using sticky skin to stick to the ceiling) Okay, Spiderman tangent over and back to Wally. It's just those ghost possibilities making it plausible. (Bonus if it's against the lockers so y'all are making more noise)
Ugh dirty talk + spitting... say less😮‍💨 Love how he has to be the one making you feel good, no one else can (even if another guy is fucking you with him)
Literally! I don't care that her kills in it are weightless and cameo bait. IT WAS COOL!! I must be a sheep because I thought it was the best part of the movie. I don't really care that she's being driven by the dark hold either, I just wish we got some additional Wandavision/MOM scenes that showed her reasoning for wanting to wield the dark hold. Im praying the thunderbolts movie will be good, but with the reshoots and rewrites and delays... it had me worried. I know they're doing it to "better" the movie but that has yet to be seen. RDJ made Tony kinda fine but I could not stand his character. I hate how Whedon painted him as "in the right" in the first Avengers. Honestly, my issues started with Iron Man 2 and every movie he was in until he died. Iron Man 1 is literally perfect, but it wasn't made with a sequel in mind, so they back tracked on his character in 2 and 3, then just lost focus entirely by the end. What happened to the guy learning how to use his resources for good? It's the worst in Civil War, when Tony openly disrespects Cap and Buck because he was too emotional (that movie also set up Mysterio for later and... yikes). I get that his parents died but it was years ago, and he knew that Bucky was being mind controlled during those events. He had zero free will and Tony knew that, and this movie also spawns the Sokovia Accords, which he doesn't make an effort to understand. He constantly flip flops about being more than who people think he is, but then uses the fact that "he's just a guy" to skate by unphased from the Accords. The Accords would have affected people with superpowers imbued into them, where their body and powers are one. Tony doesn't have to worry about that because his suits aren't him, no matter how much Infinity War tries to change that because of his "paranoia". And then there's his impact on Peter. Not only did he recruit a 14 year old to fight for government restrictions that would affect Peter, he also had him fighting in situations against people much more powerful than him. Then, when Peter was part of the blip, he replaced him with his daughter?? Like huh?? Im gonna cut it short there because I could go on forever about it. (If you can't tell, I'm veryyy passionate about Peter and his movies almost as much as Cap and Bucky. Plus, it's more reasons to hate Tony sjskdksj)
Totally, omg that reminds me of when I read a fic with a barista!Sam Winchester and he just... jacked off in the reader's coffee without even knowing them skdjdsj ... I should go reread that. Exactly! She outsmarted them all because she's that girl. it's as sweet as him!

Ok this here reminds me of something, this was hilarious as a kid, and i stand by it being funny still. When i was around 15 my neighbors daughter was about 12. We rode the same bus. Hung out around the neighborhood played. Chill. She was totes naive and gullible, maybe even a bit ditzy(100%).
So onwards. We're on the bus and something in conversation brought up canada for something. My friend was all oooh aaaah canadaaaa. I look at her older sister, a twinkle in my eye and i proceed.
" Naw man, you think Canadas cool? Dude totally part of their big lie to the world. Dont tell me youve never heard of the Canadian Secret Mounted Police??? OH MAN ok so (seriously no humor) little known fact about Canada. The nice happy Canadian is a portrayed image. They want you to think that. Its so bad the citizens are generally terrified to walk around for breaking some law that counters their nice clean cut image. I was reading a Time mag. article n it said that around tourists n travelers youll never see them. But they are watching. Looking for impolite to outsiders canadians. If they spot one they very quietly n discreetly disappear that person ASAP. Never to be rude again. Some say prison camps n mines but who knows"
By now shes hooked. Not a doubt in her mind that im not telling the gods honest truth. Shes fallen for that b.s. story n thinking n wowing n... it was my stop to get off. "Byeeeee".
So I'm home its like 530, the phone rings. My dad answered.
"He what? Uh huh, yeah... sigh..(looks at me holding back laughter) okays, well you can assure her none of thats true n he's sorry for tricking her. Again"
He hangs up the phone. My moms all who was that n dad looks at me giggling n asks what it was i told her on the bus. I told him the true story of the Canadian Secret Mounted Police n oop my stop gotta go. Hes totally holding back busting out. My moms like WHYYYYY n im like it was... funny 🤷‍♂️👍. That girl was pissed at me the next day. Hehe. Good times. And remember, Don't fuck around in Canada, don't find out.
Tumblr media
Did yaaaaa notice my dad said the word "again" up there? So funny story. Same girl same bus. (SAME BAT TIME SAME BAT CHANNEL) This was around Halloweenish n we were talking spooky stuffs n local legends n haunts of the area. And without a beat i look at her n her sister and...
"So no problems in your house on Halloween?" (They ask why perplexed) I proceed to tell them that their civil war era house (true) was part of the underground railroad, back helping escaping slaves (also true) Now theyre both intrigued with this knowledgeable fact.
"Well good thing you dont go down the basement then. (Damn place was half finished floor half dirt. 1 lil slit window. 1 light. And the room had a vibe n absorbed light. It was never bright enough. Alway dark no matter flashlight or lantern with overhead bulb.) Cause ya knoooow thats where they burried the slaves who died on the railroad? Some... they just killed to get rid of the hassle of hiding them any longer. Those are the really angry ones. Hope they dont claw up out the dirt floor. Shudder the thought. Oh well should be fiiiine just keep the door closed no probs."
Now the older sister looks at me and mouths an , is that true. And when her sis looks away im like NOOOOO lol sssh. Oh look its my stop . I get home and not 30 minutes the phone rings n my mom gets it n shes like "get down here NOW. Did you tell her..." Yeah ha totally fell for it yeah was not the correct answer. I had to apologize n all blaaaaah. My dad gets home mom gives him the tell your father what you did. He looks at me all stern and i tell him. When i reach the angry undead slaves burried in the basement bit thats when hes all "awwww maaaannn why ya gotta do that? " then he busted out laughing. Moms all serious lookin n im all made to promise dont do it again. Quit scaring the girl. And i did just that that Canadian story was not horrifying, it was complete bullshit but not scary, I promised. 👍
Also, an amusing point about the house is that it was pre civil war built kinds of old. And used in the underground railroad as a way point. Also I never ever let on or told those girls their house was actually, actually haunted. But it was upstairs and in the attic, not the basement. Lil bit an unpleasant vibe also. At times going to play in the attic was " not a good feeling idea" and i never liked being upstairs, second floor after, or in the dark. Bad vibes closer, you got to attic.

guys the 2nd chapter is here muahahahah
anyways happy reading folks!
Chapter 2.
"Heya!!" a voice behind Ang'el greeted.
Ang'el turned around, startled.
The figure in front of her now had a pair of fluffy ears, black and blue hair, and a pair of magnificent blue eyes. This furry female was wearing a dark blue cape with a baby blue shirt and grey jeans. She didn't seem like a human or a demon, so what was she doing here?
"Ummm.. Hi!"
"Not being rude or anything.. But why are you here? You don't look like a demon.. Nor do you look like an angel.." Ang'el asked bluntly.
The furry's ears perked up.
"Oh," the girl giggles.
"I'm here to find a friend!! And my name is Dina! Wanna be friends? :3" Dina exclaimed.
"Uhh, sure. My name is Ang'el, and as my name suggests, I'm an angel. Also, I'm the vice-president of the Angel Community." Ang'el said with slight pride.
"Oooohhh.. An Angel!! Shouldn't Angels be in heaven though? What are you doooooinnnnggggg here? Did ya do something baaaaaaaaaadddddd???" Dina exaggerated.
"No, not that I think so." Ang'el thought.
"So they sent you to here for no valid reason?? How unfair!! Oh yeah, do you know how to get back to Earth? I'm suck here for some reason.."
"Yeah. I was thinking of esca–"
"Great! Let's go!
Ang'el nodded as she started making a portal on the wall. Dina stared in awe as she thought of the different possibilities of Ang'el's abilities! Dina would never have to walk long distances ever again!
"Cmon Dina. Let's go." Ang'el said calmly.
"EEK!! Okay, okay!!!" Dina said excitedly.
They both walked into the portal leading to Earth.
yeah um so if you see any spelling mistakes those are (not) intentional
omg im so tired rn

What I watched this week (3/20-3/26)
Oops, It's late! Anyways hope y'all enjoy.
The Wicker Man (1973, dir. Robin Hardy)
Tumblr media
So apart from my obvious bias of being a Neofolk fan watching the Neofolk movie, the Wicker Man fucking rocks. Everything about it is masterfully crafted, from the story to the subtext to the imagery and ESPECIALLY the soundtrack.
I greatly enjoyed the commentary on religion and conservatism, which despite this movies age still manages to hold up some. Christopher Lee is amazing and really carries this movie with his convincing performance.
I don't have a lot to say about the Wicker Man that isn't insane raving about how pretty it is, but I will say that it is not like Midsommar at all outside of aesthetics :-)
5/5
Eyes Wide Shut (1999, dir. Stanley Kubrick)
Tumblr media
I loved this one, kinda unsurprisingly. Tom Cruise knocks it out of the park, which is surpring - as I normally hate Tom Cruise. But that aside, this movie is fascinating. It does a really good job at putting you in the shoes of someone truly in over there head - wandering around lost, looking for answers, afraid but yearning for more. It captures all of these emotions well.
I liked what it had to say about the intersection of sex and class, and even more what it had to say about desire - and how desire can both bring people together and apart.
Go watch it, it's so much more than just the haha funny cult movie. In fact, the cult is a relatively small part of the plot for how much people talk about it!
4.5/5
Moonrise Kingdom (2012, dir. Wes Anderson)
Tumblr media
As dark, foreboding, and weird my usual aesthetic (and taste) in movies is. I am not immune to a feel-good Wes Anderson movie. Maybe it's the style, maybe it's the melancholy, maybe it's the soundtrack. I'm not really sure, but I love Anderson. Especially when I'm stuck in bed with the flu and can't think, which is when i watched this one!
And surprise surprise. I loved it, as it has all the trappings of every other Anderson film. Solid, unique characters, a fun aesthetic and a story with just the right amount of stakes that despite it's simplicity wraps you up and keeps you enthralled. Is it his best work? no, I don't think so. But it's a ~* Good Fun Movie *~ nonetheless :-)
4/5
Halloween II (1981, dir. Rick Rosenthal)
Tumblr media
Meh. Is what i have to say about Halloween II. It was FINE. I feel the same way about it that I do Scream 1. It's decent, it's well made, It has it's fun moments, but it's just nothing more than that. It doesn't have an amazing aesthetic, or extremely well done kills, or out of this world pacing and suspense. It does have the same high quality cinematography and lighting of the original, but that's about it. For movies that take place on the same night, they could not feel more different.
3/5 - put it on in the background while you get high or bang your gf or at a party or whatever.
Gone Girl (2014, dir. David Fincher)
Tumblr media
YOU ALL LIED TO ME ABOUT GONE GIRL. ALL OF YOU. AND IM SO HAPPY YOU DID.
Because I hate the essence of Amy's character, and I hate the people who idolize it. This movie. THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD AT MAKING ME HATE AMY and I love it. Sure, Nick is not a good guy either. I don't like him at all, but dear GOD was I rooting for him more than I've rooted for any other movie main in a while.
If this ever escapes, I will get crucified for this and I do. Not. Care I hated that bitch and watching her downfall over the runtime was amazing and enthralling.
What's even more commendable is that the ending twist manages to still be satisfying despite not ending the way I (or Nick, most likely) would have wanted it to end!
Also shoutout to the score I love you Trent Reznor.
Go watch it it if you haven't, and go watch it again if your a weirdo who thinks its some feminist masterpiece
4.5/5

Hi! It's gossip girl 🥰 That super wired with your blog! I saw some of your others posts to the tumble staff and I hope it gets fixed soon! I think tumblr is just broken to the max sometimes and takes the wrong things away:/
My Sunday was good! I actually went to like and Airshow today and got to see some really cool planes with my friends! The Thunderbirds were there and they can do some cool stuff! The only down side was I forgot sunscreen and I burn quicker than rubbing alcohol on a candle😂 But hey if I wanted to be Two Face /Harvey Dent for Halloween I wouldn't have to worry about getting red face paint😂😂 But it was a cool show and we spend most of the day there! I hope your Sunday went well🥰 How'd the walk go with the puppy?!!🥰🥰
Yes! She is a very good sister even though we are polar opposites personality wise we never really had any big fights😂 Other than when she "Borrows" my clothes and forgets to give them back😂😂 She really is great though!! I've probably also done similar stuff to her and my mom too though😂 I'll borrow a sweatshirt from my mom and eventually she'll get it back😂
Lol it's totally fine how long it takes you to reply! I don't mind🥰 It's kinda fun because I think if it like a surprise and the waiting is part of the fun!❤️ And ohh no no no! Tumble doesn't need any more ideas except maybe for a bid to get rid of a few😂
And I absolutely agree with you on the autocorrect and like writing things that don't makes sense (even if it was like unintentional)!
I haven't lost any of my stories but there have been a few close calls with papers and then one event where word totally screwed me over on a final project and wouldn't let me save a 30is page final group project (it had like pictures and charts ) and it wouldn't let me reopen any of the old entries or send it to someone else as a word doc🥲 I could only save it as a PDF but then you can't go into word again and edit a pdf (or it wouldn't let me without paying a bunch to convert it) But my teacher was great and helped me get it back because she did have a program bough already to convert it and another on of my team members was able to find his old copy too! I'm so it worked out in the end but it was pretty stressful at the time😂
And I haven't heard that saying for the weather but I think I love it😂🥰 It fits me well to because I usually like having a bag full of random things possibly (but not usually) needed😂
College is going pretty well! I've been pretty busy with work and trying to get ready for tests (I have one the day after Halloween and one the day after that🥲😂) But overall it's pretty good! How's your work (or college?/both? i actually am not sure if you're in it🫣, I can't remember if you've mentioned being in college) but basically how's life for you been going?! I hope it's been treating you well!!!
Thanks for the love!! Sending some your way too💕💕
I’m finally free!!! As you may have noticed ☺️ Tumblr said it was a mistake (😒), but let’s focus on the good part I got my main tumblr back, so now I think most of the accounts banned is because of this. Thank you for your kind messages during that time! 💝
Oh wow! That sounds like something super exciting to see! Hope you enjoyed it a lot! Oh no!! I’m a sunscreen freak now and I won’t leave the house without it, hope you got some aloe Vera for that sunburn (but after dressing up as Two face for Halloween) 😝 it went good! Pups are the best ♥️
And now I feel terrible because I think I’m keeping you for long periods of time waiting, but I hope in the mean time you got a bunch of nice things to do so you can share them later on here 🤗 haha who are you trying to get rid of? 😂 🤔
Yeah like sorry! Like, I didn’t mean to say that oops 🤭
Oh you can turn a pdf into a word again, just look for a tutorial, and I’m sure there must be some options to make it for free, but I’m glad your teacher and friend were able to help you! Phew 😮‍💨 saved by the bell!… you know I was pretty new to my current job and I had this massive archive full of formulas and tables and such, and the one who was my boss back then comes to the file and starts moving things and he crashed the excel-> freeze-> lost file. I couldn’t get it back 😨🥺 I had to re-start from the last one I saved, so now I’m extra cautious with the files (and of course my stories) and I’m always saving and I actually have like version 12, final version etc 😂
If you could only see my Mary Poppins bag 😅😆 I recently turned one of those empty cosmetics bags they sell with a bunch of goodies, into my “if I ever need…” so I have this mini hair brush, pills, sunscreen, like most of the mini products for travels, hoping that one day someone might need and I will say hang on, got it! 😂
How did the test go?????? Hope you got a good grade! Work is good, thanks! Haha no college for me, I suffered of a lot of stress during my college days I swore I would take some time out (and it’s been a loooong time since I graduated, probably it would be a good time for a master or something. I had plans to go to study somewhere else right before the pandemic started, luckily I didn’t make any move on that back then. But in general it’s been good 😊 finally Friday I can have some rest, need to do a lot of stuff around and write write write.
Hope you have a nice weekend! 🥰💖
Lots of love and good vibes back to you xx
