Dwight Frye (Dracula, Frankenstein)—he's my babygirl please please please please please i want to baby bird feed him flies and spiders and pick him up and make glitter edits of him and give him gross forehead kisses like he's my cat. in dracula he was so incredibly creepy that he was typecast as madmen for the rest of his life and he fucking hated it but by god if he didn't do a fantastic job. he steals the show every time he's up on screen just because he's so fucking deranged. i need him

Harpo Marx (Night at the Opera, Night in Casablanca, Duck Soup)—While Groucho is better-known, Harpo's physical comedy is SECOND-TO-NONE. The man is a strange mime trapped in the paradigm of early 20th century movies. Every move is a symphony and simultaneously a colony of rats in a human skin suit. LISTEN. You MUST see this man in motion. Every still photo of him looks like a combination of a sad clown and a different, sadder clown, but it's only because he put so much joy in every motion.

This is round 4 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you’re confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]

Dwight:

He absolutely owns the entirety of Dracula (1931). Compared to the novel, his part is massively expanded and it's clear why. He's magnetically unhinged and his facial expressions are pure scrungle. And in Frankenstein, he begins the archetype of Frankenstein's assistant even if the character's name there is Fritz. He'd still go on to play other scrungly guys in later Frankenstein movies. But he's kinda the archetypal and progenitor of the scrungly lil guy. The scrungliest guy ever to scrungle. He's pretty much the blueprint for every mad scientist's assistant, and he's the best part of every movie he's in. He manages to make you feel sorry for the creepy little dudes, even when he's eating spiders and crawling across the floor. [editor's note: content warning for the "hunchback" stereotype and "madness" in the clips below]the "Rats" soliloquy:

youtube

I saw him in Dracula and frankly he has me bewitched. I could watch him do his silly routine forever. The gay tension with Bela Lugosi onscreen was frankly unparalleled. Kirk and Spock levels. I am chewing on the furniture

youtube

Played the weirdo little guy in Dracula AND the weirdo little guy in Frankenstein in the same year. Iconic.

youtube

The scrungles to end all scrungles! There's a reason why this man codified the manic vampire's familiar and the hunchbacked lab assistant for generations, because by God can this man be feral and scrungly: Whether he's soliloquizing about rats as Renfield, scurrying around Frankenstein's lab like a spider as Fritz, or skulking around dark alleys (and scaring the hell out of little baby me) waiting for a fresh heart to steal as Karl, if you want a scrungly little man for your classic film, Dwight Frye is your man. He has the range to play varying kinds of scrungle, with his wide eyes, his manic smiles, his soft, breathy voice, he is truly an undisputed scrungle master.

I honestly think it would be a crime to ignore Dwight Frye's scrungle factor. He played two of the prototypical creepy little henchman as Dracula's lackey Renfield and Dr. Frankenstein's hunchback servant Fritz, and I believe that his excellence in these roles absolutely shaped the future character tropes of the "Igor" type as much as Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff shaped the future understanding of Dracula and Frankenstein's monster. He's got it all from the looks, to the manic energy, to the crazed laugh, I'm telling you right now that I think he could win the entire tournament.

youtube

Harpo Marx:

He's like if a clown was a hobo was also somehow a classically trained harpist, his face is always in some kind of contorted silly shape, feral curly haired ninnymuggins always doing weird things to people

Harpo is mute in all of the Marx Bros movies and so his body language and facial expressions are SO over the top but he's also got fewer braincells than a goldfish while often being the emotional heart of the Marx Bros and he's just A Guy!!

youtube

Every scene with Harpo Marx is a treat! Just like watching a seagull steal a stranger's hotdog at the beach, it is a joy to watch him frustrate the hell out of all the other films' characters! Harpo Marx is the zenith of unhinged in all of his appearances, making any other funny man a straight man by comparison. (A fantastic feat considering he starred in films with his brothers Grouch and Harpo, who sported a shoe polish mustache and questionable Italian accent, respectively). The scrungliness of the little guys he plays come from his guileless, wide-eyed expression, curly blond wig, and the extreme ability to annoy others, despite never saying a word. Is he malicious? Most definitely, but hard to tell because he has a dopey grin on his face most of the time. Communicating through other sounds like honking horns and whistling, he is a force of chaos in every Marx brothers film! Also an accomplished harp player, the beautiful calm moments where Harpo plays juxtapose the zany, making him all the more scrungly. His visual style of comedy is timeless; Duck Soup had me rolling with laughter as a six year old and is still just as funny today.

youtube

In my opinion Harpo is the funniest of the Marx brothers because he is so good at slapstick comedy. Since he never speaks in his film appearances his performances are very physical, which contributes a lot to his scrungliness. He was fully committed to being wacky at all times. All of his hilarity is based on him being weird.

He's just a weird little guy who causes chaos everywhere he goes, and then sits down and plays a beautiful harp solo! He steals the show from his very chatty brothers without saying a word, and was surprisingly ripped under that old raincoat

All of the Marx Brothers are Scrungly to a degree, but Harpo is the scrungliest! His outfits are so big he gets lost in them, his pockets are full of everything, and because he never speaks, he always uses physical comedy. Also he's an incredible musician.

june prompts! (they are sooo cute): "fruit stand" for whatever characters you choose

the poll results were a tie so here's something that's neither of the presented options: a highly specific f1 au entry that benefits from reading this prompt fill first

( now on AO3 )

Arguably, being a professional race car driver for twenty years doesn't leave a person with a whole lot of transferable skills, but as Sam watches Bucky take a tight corner and snag the very last parking spot in a packed out gravel lot, he has to admit that the job occasionally comes in handy.

When Sam comes around from the passenger side of the car, Bucky already has their respective shopping lists in his hand. "Are you sure you want to split up for this?" he asks. "If I learned anything watching rom-coms on the plane, it's that farmer's markets are inherently romantic places."

Sam laughs. "What, a week away in a secluded cottage with a hot tub isn't romantic enough for you?"

"Of course not; I've seen way too many horror movies that start that way," says Bucky. Then, as solemnly as he can, he adds, "In fact, just to be safe, we should probably just stay in the bedroom the entire time we're here."

"And that's purely a safety consideration, huh?" asks Sam.

Bucky nods, hooking his fingers in one of Sam's belt loops to pull him close. "Oh, yeah," he says, even as he leans in and steals a kiss. "Entirely a security concern. No ulterior motives at all."

Sam can't help but grin as he presses his lips to Bucky's, half because of Bucky's stupid bit and half because he almost never gets to kiss Bucky like this, out in the sunshine with people milling around and going about their lives. "If that's what we have to do, then that's what we have to do," he says. "Some of us just have to sacrifice like that, I guess."

He's rewarded for his trouble with a kiss on the nose. "Exactly," Bucky says. "Now, tell me, what does the winner of this race get?"

"What race?"

Bucky holds up his shopping list. "The race to finish our halves of the list first, obviously. What does the winner get?"

"We're on summer break, Barnes; it's the one time of year that we don't have to race," laughs Sam, but the look that he gets in response says Bucky doesn't believe him for a second. "Fine. Winner gets...I don't know, a massage from the loser?"

"Samuel, if you think I'm not going to drag out this shopping trip for two hours just to make sure I lose and have an excuse to get my hands all over you..."

"And the winner gets to choose what we watch tonight," adds Sam. "I know you've got a dozen fantasy movies that you've been dying to show me."

Instantly, Bucky's eyes light up with the challenge. "Done," he says. "And for what it's worth, I think you're really gonna love Highlander."

He takes off without waiting for a reply, bound for the stalls like a man on a mission. After taking a beat to admire the view, Sam sets off equally as fast, determined to make Bucky work for it.

As it turns out, Sam gets lucky and checks off more than half of his shopping list between two stalls, so he lets himself relax a little and stops at a fruit stand, weighing the benefits of cobbler versus shortcake as dessert. He's just decided on cobbler when the owner of the stand ducks under the awning, carrying a baby who is very determinedly grabbing at his hair, in spite of the fact that his locs have been swept up and out of reach.

"You find everything you need?" he asks, and Sam is a little surprised to hear that he has an English accent.

"I did," he says, pointing out the plums and the jar of local honey that he'd settled on. After a moment's debate, he asks for one of the hand-tied bouquets of wildflowers, too.

"Excellent choice," says the stall owner, and the baby in his arms coos happily, clapping his chubby hands.

Sam leans down to address the baby. "Do you approve of my choice, too? Am I shopping like a local?"

The baby looks at him with wide eyes for a moment before offering a smile and babbling at him. The stall owner gives the baby a little bounce and translates: "He says you're doing great, but to really be convincing, you have to stop at the bakery on the corner and get one of their raspberry cream pies. The tourists just stop and buy cookies at the stall."

"Thanks for the tip," laughs Sam, wiggling his fingers at the baby. "Who needs guidebooks when we've got this little guy?"

"There's talk of making him head of our tourism department," says the stall owner, "but what would the business do without him?"

Sam snorts. "He runs a tight ship, huh?"

"Keeps me and my husband on our toes, anyway," is the reply, and Sam feels a little bit of his anxiety about being in an unfamiliar town melt away.

"Well, do either of you have any suggestions for things that we should do while we're in town? My, uh- my partner and I are here for a week, so..."

"Oh, absolutely," he replies, but whatever it is that he's going to say after that, it's cut off by Bucky bounding over and brandishing his fully-checked-off list in Sam's face.

"Come on, Wilson; it's like you're not even trying to win," says Bucky, as he slings an arm around Sam and looks at his abandoned list. "All that fuss about bread and you haven't even made it to the bakery yet?"

"I was getting tips from some locals," says Sam. He turns to the stall owner. "This is my partner--"

"Jamie?" gasps the stall owner, looking at Bucky like he's just seen a ghost. "Is that you?"

Sam almost tells him he has the wrong guy, except then he glances at Bucky and sees him staring right back, his mouth open in shock.

"Hi, Ollie," Bucky says after a long, unbearably quiet moment. Even if Sam didn't vaguely remember talking to Bucky about an ex named Oliver, their history would be impossible to miss. Bucky's voice has gone soft, the way it tends to be with kids and old friends of his mom's, but Sam can feel the tension in his arm as he stiffens. He covers Bucky's hand with his own where it rests on his hip and feels Bucky lean into his side a little.

"It's really good to see you," says Oliver. “How have you been? How are Becca and your mum?”

Bucky’s hand shakes a little at the mention of his mother and Sam shifts his hand so he can interlace their fingers, giving Bucky’s hand a squeeze.

“Becca’s great,” says Sam, trying to give Bucky a moment to collect himself. “She’s a lawyer now, so she tends to be pretty busy, but we try to see her when there’s a break in the racing schedule.”

“A lawyer?” repeats Oliver. “That’s wonderful! The last time I saw her, she was still in high school.”

“Yeah,” Bucky says, a rasp to his voice now, “we’re very proud of her.” He does not, Sam notes, answer the question about his mother.

Oliver is still looking at Bucky with awe on his face. "I still can’t believe I ran into you here and never once in London. How long has it been now? Ten, twelve years?”

"Probably closer to twelve by now," says Bucky, and Sam knows that Bucky could give an exact number if he wanted to. “How have you been? You’re good?”

“I am,” says Oliver. “Fell in love with an American, followed him here to take over the family business, and now we’re training the next generation.”

“I can see that,” says Bucky. “Is this- uh, is he yours?”

"He is," says Oliver, smiling as he gives the baby another bounce. "This is Max. Max, say hi to Jamie and- I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name."

Baby Max is already babbling in Bucky's general direction when Sam introduces himself to Oliver, and if Oliver makes any connection about a Sam in relation to Bucky's career, he doesn't give any indication.

Sam decides not to worry about it. Instead, he watches how Bucky smiles at Max, responding intently to the rapid baby babble and making all the requisite interested noises. Max is delighted by Bucky's attention, clapping his hands and laughing delightedly. It's enough to bring about the same warmth that Sam feels in his chest when he sees Bucky with Ellie or with AJ and Cass, and part of him thinks he sees that same something in Oliver's eyes as he watches Max giggle at Bucky's antics.

"He's so cute," Bucky says, looking at Oliver again. There’s a little less tension in his shoulders now. "You must be so proud."

"We are," says Oliver, and while Sam isn't jealous, he is a little relieved to see that Oliver remembers that he has a husband. "He'll be two in January, and I don't know what we'll do once he's a toddler."

"Invest in baby gates and some good running shoes, to start," says Bucky. "And maybe start working on your cardio."

Oliver laughs. "That sounds like experience talking. Do you two have kids?"

Sam just shakes his head in response, but beside him, Bucky says, "Not yet, but Sam's got nephews, and Steve's daughter will be three soon."

It seems like Oliver remembers Steve, and as he starts asking Bucky about the different people in his life, all that Sam can think about is Bucky saying that he and Sam didn't have kids yet. They've both talked about wanting to be dads, and they've established that marriage is in the cards for them, but somehow that knowledge hadn’t quite crystallized until now: Sam and Bucky are going to be dads together one day.

They’re going to raise children with goofy dance moves and adorable scowls, and Sam realized it in the middle of polite small talk with an ex who'd broken up with Bucky—Sam is just now remembering—because there was no chance of having a normal life or family with him. Oliver has been nothing but nice, and he’s very clearly happy with his life, but a possessive, prickly part of Sam feels smug about being the one who gets to do this with Bucky.

He waits patiently as the conversation goes on, very aware of the fact that Bucky hasn’t let go of him, but unsure of how to pull off an extraction. It ends up not mattering: the sun and the noise are enough to make Max fussy after a while, and Oliver excuses himself to find his husband, but not before packing them off with some extra jam and fruit as a gift.

By unspoken agreement, Sam and Bucky leave the farmer’s market behind after that, and Bucky doesn’t protest when Sam takes the keys from him and drives the rest of the way to the cottage. It’s a quiet drive, and when they arrive, it’s enough of a flurry of activity that any conversation between them is purely practical.

Once all the groceries are unpacked, Sam busies himself making a pot of coffee in an unfamiliar machine, hoping to busy himself enough that he’s not straining to hear Bucky moving around in the bedroom upstairs. The distraction pays off a while later, when he hears Bucky’s near-silent footsteps crossing the kitchen floor before a strong arm loops around Sam’s waist from behind and pulls him close.

Sam tilts his head a little to the side and smiles as Bucky buries his face in Sam’s neck. “You good, baby?” he asks.

“Uh-huh,” comes Bucky’s voice, muffled against Sam’s shoulder. “Needed a minute.”

“To mourn that we didn’t end up getting baguettes?” asks Sam, and grins when he feels Bucky laugh.

“I already checked; the bakery delivers,” says Bucky, and Sam feels a rush of love for this nerd. They’re quiet for a moment, and then Bucky says, “Needed to think, that’s all.”

“About anything particular, or were the hamsters just spinning in their wheels up there?”

Bucky is quiet again. Sam brings up a hand to rub some of the tension out of his neck and he slumps against Sam’s back with a sigh.

The coffee machine finishes brewing and Sam snags two mugs from the stand beside it, filling both of them and adding cream and sugar one-handed.

“He said there wasn’t a future with me,” Bucky says, when their coffee is ready. Then he clarifies, like Sam would’ve thought he meant anyone else. “Ollie. He said I couldn’t give him that future, that he didn’t want to wait for something that wasn’t coming. He didn’t want to hide that he was in love.”

Sam has become an expert at waiting Bucky out, so he sips his coffee and lets him figure out what he wants to say.

“He was right to leave,” says Bucky eventually. “He shouldn’t have had to be a secret, and I’m glad he found what he wanted.”

“But…”

“But back then, I told him things would change, and he didn’t believe me,” Bucky says. “And now it’s thirteen years later, and things still haven’t changed. I’m stupid in love with you, Sam, and I want a life with you, and a family with you, and here we are sneaking around and keeping secrets. How is this different? How do I make this end differently?”

“Well, first of all, you remember that secrecy is a choice that we both made together,” says Sam. “I’m not saying Ollie didn’t have a choice, but there’s no way his decision was as informed as mine was. There’s no way he knew what it was like.”

“And that’s enough?” asks Bucky. “We drove two hours from home just so we could hold hands in public, and that doesn’t make you mad?”

Sam turns so he can face Bucky, immediately resettling Bucky’s hand on his waist. “Of course it makes me mad, Buck,” he says softly. He brings up his hands to hold cradle Bucky’s face, thumb swiping at a stray eyelash. “But I’m not mad at you; I’m mad with you. We’re in this together, baby.”

“I don’t want you to have to wait forever,” says Bucky. “And I don’t want to keep you a secret forever either. I want people to know how happy we are.”

“They will,” says Sam. “I promise. We can even tell them all now if you want to; that’s one way to kick off silly season.”

“And distract from the fact that you’re about to win a World Championship?” scoffs Bucky, looking offended on Sam’s behalf. “I think the fuck not.”

“You don’t know that I’m going to win, Buck.”

“Yeah, I do,” says Bucky, and Sam feels his body flush with pleasure at how certain Bucky is.

“I could always just lay one on you when they announce my win, then,” offers Sam. “I assume you’ll swoon with delight when it happens.”

“Nah,” says Bucky, shaking his head, the corner of his mouth lifting into a smile. “I can’t. I promised your mom I’d take a video of your reaction.”

Sam’s face goes warm and he hides against Bucky’s shoulder to cover the pleased grin on his face. “I should never have let you two exchange numbers.”

“Too late,” says Bucky. “We’re best friends now.”

“I’m starting to think she’s been dropping all those hints about proposing just so you two can hang out more.”

“You said it, not me.”

“Well, that’s too bad for her,” says Sam, pulling back to look at Bucky, “because I have very definite plans for proposing to you, and they have nothing to do with you two getting to have brunch together more often.”

Bucky’s cheeks go pink. “Already planning your proposal?” he teases. “And it hasn’t even been a year?”

“Some of us know what we want the minute we see it,” says Sam. “And I, for one, have no plans to fumble it.”

“Okay,” Bucky says, smiling down at Sam. “Just…whatever it is, make sure it’s a good story so we can tell our kids about it one day.”

“They’re going to get bored of us talking about each other, you know.”

Bucky waves a hand. “They’ll live,” he says, and the smitten grin on his face matches Sam’s own. “Now, someone talked big about a massage and a movie before he went and lost a bet today, and I’m noticing that topic hasn’t come up since.”

“I want a do-over,” says Sam, even as he lets Bucky pull him towards the couch. “Running into someone’s ex has to invalidate any prior bets. I’m pretty sure that’s a rule.”

“That’s not a rule, Sam.”

“You literally made me wait an hour for breakfast once because Leila was in the restaurant, minding her own business.”

“It was Valentine’s Day! I wanted to cozy up to my man!”

“It was Groundhog Day, and I don’t know what cozying you thought you were going to do in a booth at a family restaurant.”

“It was the principle of the thing, Samuel,” argues Bucky, and Sam lets himself slip into their familiar, silly back and forth, massage and bet entirely forgotten.

He thinks of Bucky’s question and hopes that the answer is always this obvious.

Of course this is enough. How could being loved this completely be anything less?

7 Day Camp Stay. Day: 5

WIND AND RAIN DAY BABY!!

Yeah, the day was a little hectic, but I only got a bruise on my nose, it's fiiiiiinnneeee!

(Donnie = Me.)

Hope you enjoy day 5! (Under the cut.)

7 Day Camp Stay

Day: 5

Donnie blinked his eyes open. The wind seamed reasonable that morning. But the air felt heavy. Thick with humidity. Donnie was surprised to see he was the first one awake. He got out of the tent and headed over to the picnic table. There he ate some bread and had some cheese. He decided to have them separately this time.

Donnie took a look around. It was so quiet in the morning. Donnie grabbed a folding chair and took a seat. He spent a good amount of time just watching the trees sway in the gentle breeze.

Soon the others started waking up. Mikey was the first. Mikey crawled out of the tent, rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning, Angelo."

"Morning, Dee!"

Mikey walked over to the picnic table with a yawn, grabbed the soap, and walked over to the restrooms. Raph and Leo got out of bed around the same time.

"*yawn!* What time is it?"

"It is 10:48 A.M, gentlemen."

"Wow, swimming must have worn us out, huh Raph?"

Leo got up and walked over to Donnie. Leo looked over and watched the trees gently move with the breeze.

"The calm before the storm."

Leo commented.

"Pardon?"

"Forcast says thunderstorms this afternoon."

Donnie raised an eyebrow. How could such a beautiful day like this turn into a thunderstorm? He wasn't sure, but he was going to enjoy this while it lasted.

Sense it was so close to lunch time anyway, Raph, Leo and Mikey skipped having breakfast and jumped over to have lunch instead. When they finished, the wind started to pick up. Donnie looked over to see a dark horizon. That raised his concerns slightly.

Donnie was stuck on dish duty that day, and they had some dishes left over from the other night. Donnie rolled up his coat sleeves and got to work.

While he was washing the dishes he realized the plates were really greasy and the utensils were greasy and the cooking tools were greasy and EVERYTHING WAS SO GREASY! It kept killing his soapy water dish after dish! Nothing was cleaning off like it normally would. He didn't have hot water to combat the grease! His frustrations grew quickly. Raph walked over to find that Donnie was still doing dishes after 2 hours.

"Hey, Dee? arnt the dishes clean enough?"

Raph questioned. But to Donnie, it sounded like he was teasing him. Donnie was not having it.

"No! They are not clean!"

Donnie gripped the sides of the bucket. Raph came over and touched one of the dishes. It still had a thin layer of grease on it.

"Ooooh, yeah. How about Raph takes over while you do something else, okay?"

Donnie released the bucket and let Raph take the seat. Donnie went to the restrooms to wash his hands. Exiting the bathroom, he could definitely feel the wind blowing harder! He quickly made his way back to camp. When he returned, Mikey rushed over to him.

"Donnie! Something's wrong with your tent!"

Mikey said as he pointed towards it. Donnie looked over to find his tent half collapsed. Donnie walked passed Leo, who was chopping more wood, and went over to the tent to inspect it. Once he was closer, it was easy to find what was wrong. One of the tent polls snapped from the wind.

"Of course it would! OF COURSE IT WOULD!!"

Donnie growled. His teeth grinding unhealthily together.

"If it's not one thing, it's another!"

Donnie grumbled. He took a deep breath to try and calm himself down. He could fix this. He's good at fixing things!

"Mikey, I need ducked tape, scissors, and a large metal stick."

Mikey ran off to get what Donnie requested. Donnie got down to prepare fixing the poll.

"Heads up!"

Mikey hollered. He tossed the tape and Donnie caught it. Then Mikey tossed the scissors but Donnie wasn't dumb enough to try and catch those. He dodged out of the way as they went flying past him.

"Mikey, Do not throw-"

But just when Donnie turned his head, a large metal rod hit him right on the bridge of his snout. Donnie quickly raised his hands to cover his nose.

"Oh, Sorry Donnie! Are you okay?"

Mikey yelled from the picnic table. Donnie didn't respond. He crawled over into his half collapsed tent and laid inside. It wasn't long till he started crying. His nose hurt so bad. He drew his hand away to find his fingers were just covered in tears. For a moment he thought his nose started bleeding.

"You should be more careful, Mikey!"

Leo hollered. The sound of crunching grass came closer and closer. Donnie looked up to see Leo appearing through the tent door.

"Hey, you good?"

Donnie didn't say anything. He just laid his head back down on the mat and held his nose between his hands.

"Here, let me see it."

Donnie sat up and let Leo inspect his face.

"Yup, that's definitely bruised!"

Donnie whimpered slightly as more tears trickled down his cheeks. Leo reached over and grabbed a juice box and some crackers for Donnie. He then proceeded to gently clean around the bruise. Donnie sipped on the juice box while Leo worked with putting a band-aid on Donnie's nose. If anything, it gave it a small cushion protection.

"There! Now you have a little pink kitty cat on your nose!"

"... Are you serious?"

"Kidding! It's just a boring old peach one."

Donnie wasn't sure if he was relieved or disappointed. He finished his juice and ate some of the crackers. Then they both exited the tent. Donnie picked up the repair items and started mending the broken tent poll. He used the metal stick as a splint and taped it on real good. It looked like it was working pretty well!

Off in the distance, thunder started to rumble. Guess that thunderstorm was gonna come after all. Donnie moved the folding chairs into a tent. While Donnie was setting the chairs down, rain started to trickle down onto the campsite. Leo hopped inside the tent and zipped it up tight.

Soon the small trickle turned into a downpour. Donnie laid down on his mat and watched as the raindrops hit the top of the tent. An hour had past and Donnie wondered how much longer the rain would last. What if the camp became a muddy mess? What if it rained so much they were knee deep in water?! Just when Donnie was thinking about all the ways this could go bad, the sun came out, brightening up the environment around them.

"Oh it's beautiful!"

Mikey yelled. Now Leo and Donnie were curious. They opened up the tent and saw Mikey looking up at something. They turned their heads to see a rainbow streaking across the sky. Leo scrambled out of the tent to get a better look at it. Donnie's jaw dropped. That was the brightest rainbow he'd ever seen! Donnie didn't have to worry about the campsite flooding, because the promise was right in front of him. And it was still proving true.

They ran over to the lake to get a better view. The rainbow was so bright you could see it in the reflection of the lake. White birds rose up from the lake and filled the sky. They danced around in circles, singing their song. Donnie had never seen anything like this before.

Minutes later the rainbow faded away. The birds returned to the lake, and Donnie was left with an experience that could never be recreated. They returned to the camp. The wood was too wet to start a fire with, so Mikey made salads for dinner instead.

Donnie sat at the picnic table, picking at the chickpeas and cucumbers. The winds died down, and the thunder clouds rolled away. Everyone talks about the calm before the storm. What about the calm after the storm? Nobody talks about the beauty after the rain.

Donnie finished his food, brushed his teeth, and headed off for bed.

___________

That was honestly my favorite day just because of the beautiful rainbow! Also I do kind of like thunderstorms. :)

Hope you enjoyed day 5! Lord bless you!

Last x Next

Oh God, What Have We Done??: Father!Belphegor Headcanons

You know, I was going to write this for Simeon, and I still might, but Belphie lost the Dad poll and I must right an injustice when I see one.

Content: Somehow incredibly fluffy with Big Happy Family vibes; mostly meme fodder

~♡♡♡~

I refuse to believe this could have been planned. No person in their right mind is going to look at Belphie and go, "Oh yeah. That's some real good father material right there!" Belphegor wouldn't even say that to himself.

Either a condom broke, a pill was skipped, or some orphaned demon child imprinted on these two like a baby duck and followed them home. Either way, NO ONE wanted this, but it's happening.

Belphegor's reaction to realizing that he's a Dad:

Everyone else's reaction to realizing Belphegor is a Dad:

Beel's reaction to realizing that he is an Uncle:

But seriously though, Beel is the only one with any kind of unwavering faith that his twin can pull this off. Never doubts him for a second and never will.

Everybody else though....? Well. Satan is already cleaning out the local libraries of their parenting books, Asmo's searching Mommy blogs, and Lucifer keeps staring off into the middle distance like he's questioning every single life decision that has brought them to this point. Fear is rampant, despair is on high.

The biggest worry is that Belphegor is going to leave MC more or less high and dry. He's not exactly known to be a "go-getter" when times are tough and though he has his soft side, sure, no one would call it particularly "nurturing."

Diavolo and Barbs weren't even sure if they should announce the news to the realm. Of course one of the Lords of the Hell having an offspring is a pretty big deal but under these circumstances...

What if it was treated like a joke by the populous? Painting a target for ridicule on Belphie and MC's backs had to be the LAST thing anybody wanted...

Even Belphegor, in a pretty heartbreaking moment of self-reflection, tried to convince Beel to take over for him instead. Not to shirk the responsibility, but out of pure acknowledgement that he would make the better father between them...

Beel, of course, was not having this for a second. And you know what? Everyone would do well to listen to the wisdom of Beel! Because he knew instinctively something that everyone else had conveniently forgotten-

No matter the circumstances, Belphie's kid was a part of the family. And that meant that they, the MC, and even Belphie himself were never going to be doing this alone.

And that fact was proven quickly enough when every member of the family, extended or otherwise, stepped up to lend a hand.

Levi and Mammon took it on themselves to go out and buy whatever baby items they needed and seemingly came in every day with handfuls upon handfuls of bottles, baby gates, socket covers, and TOYS (literally so many toys. They bought more toys than diapers).

Lucifer and Asmo set to work on renovating a nursery/kid's room almost immediately. The eldest had the plans drafted within a week of the news while Asmo buried MC and Belphie in paint swatches and magazine catalogs for the walls and decor.

Satan roped Beel in to help him train Belphegor to be a little less lazy and more attentive to the MC and the baby. Even going so far as to curse a baby monitor to sound like fog horn to him and only him if the kid began to cry.

The angels chipped in with gifts and free offers to babysit (mostly from Simeon, but Luke is already eyeing the little one like a baby sibling and is protective as such).

Solomon uh... Well Solomon offered to cook MC whatever they wanted through the pregnancy at first, but when that got a HARD veto he switched to just giving HoL a touch of magic baby proofing. Nobody can figure out how to get under the kitchen sink anymore, but that means the baby won't either!

And, of course, despite Belphegor not liking him much, Diavolo is probably the BEST psudeo-uncle a kid could have. He's already sent Barbatos out to curate the best baby food and Lucifer is training him on how to hold infants properly so he can take turns being babysitter with Simeon.

As a father... Belphie isn't perfect. He did whine more than a few times about no longer being the "baby" everyone doted on. A couple times, he may even act just as childish as his kid...

But in the moments late at night when he's rocking them in his arms, dead tired from being awake for hours but determined to make sure they sleep first...

Or when he's walking around the House with them tucked to his chest because they'll never cry if he holds them.

How he pays attention to every little thing that interests them so he can craft each of their dreams more exciting than the last...

Or how he, more than any of the others, knows what a precious treasure it is to be with those you love since you never know when they'll be gone...

He'll do alright. With the love and support of everyone else, their child will have everything they need...

As long as they don't turn out as spoiled as he is 💀

I love making unnecessary tasks for myself and @need-him-pregnant-poll currently has me in a chokehold so I put together a baby list! Based on an idea mentioned that each poll is a new pregnancy, I was curious about the amount of babies everyone has now, and I thought other people might be interested as well!

The single digits are for the characters that are still currently in the tournament and their final baby numbers aren’t official yet. The rest are in a range based on whether the idea is that the character gets pregnant every time they’re in a poll or if they get pregnant each time they win a poll(and I wanted the characters who lost in the first round to still have a chance at pregnancy lol) so characters with 3-4 babies were in four separate polls but only won three etc etc

If there’s any mistakes or if I forgot anything, lemme know! I’ll continue to update the numbers as the polls continue

And putting under a read more because it’s quite the long list but anyway enjoy all the blorbo babies!
