Danny’s Journal or A Countdown to the Beginning

Summary: A look into the year leading up to the accident from the perspective of a forgotten journal.

February 9, 2002

Dear journal. Mom and Dad said they had a surprise for me and Jazz when we get home from school. Please God don't let it be another ghost gun or something. My hair is still singed from the last one.

Update. It was, in fact, a gun. Jazz now has a mild burn on her arm and is screaming how they need therapy. Not disagreeing but I don't think it's going to happen.

February 12, 2002

Dear journal. Happy birthday. A year ago Jazz gave you to me for my birthday. How my parents haven't accidentally destroyed you I don't know.

Me Tucker, Sam, and Jazz went out to eat for my birthday. Sam even had her family driver take us a town over to try that new restaurant. Well, that's what their excuse was.  I think they were trying to get me out of the house for a little bit since Mom and Dad are going on a rampage through the house disassembling all the appliances. It's 10 pm and I can still hear noise coming from the basement.

March 26, 2002

I have the best idea for an April Fools prank. It involves chez whiz and glitter.

April 1, 2002

The prank worked like a charm. The jocks are going to smell like cheese for weeks. And they ain't ever getting the glitter out.

On the downside. Dash broke my arm and Mom and Dad put a “Fenton Anti-ghost Cast” on me. It kinda glows and makes my arm feel weird.

April 23, 2002

Sam’s birthday party was a glorious disaster this year. Her mom decided to do a princess-themed party. We have been preparing for this day since Sam found one of her mom’s work journals. We managed to sneak paint and glitter bombs into the venue before anyone got there. We even managed to get one on each of the chandeliers. It was awesome. Everyone got covered in black paint and red glitter. 

What we didn’t account for was Grandma Ida hiring professional snake handlers to bring in a bunch of snakes for Sam. The snakes were non-venomous and luckily were all caught after one of the rich people bumped into the table that the snake cage was on. And the paint was non-toxic so it was easy to clean off the snakes too without them getting sick. Still kinda feel bad that the snakes got caught in the crossfire though.

May 20, 2002

🎵Schools out for the summer!🎵 Lol this is going to be so exciting. Our last summer as middle schoolers. Nothing but the big leagues after this!

June 13, 2002

Dad wants to go camping for Father's Day so we're going to head out tomorrow morning. Think I heard them mention Lake Arrowhead. That'll be cool. Haven't fished there before.

June 15, 2002

I don't know how but we're in Gotham. Apparently, there's some stupid ghost conversation going on so we're going to be stuck here for the next week. On the pulse side though I found a really cool cafe not too far from the hotel. And they don’t seem to care if you just hang out as long as their not busy and you buy something. Me and Jazz will probably be spending a lot of time here or at their library. It’s huge and has an entire section of space!

June 16, 2002

Turns out I'm allergic to something called Blood Blossoms. Mom and Dad ended up having some guy try to cleanse me of “the evil spook” after I accidentally brushed up against the flowers he had on his table. Jazz had to convince them to get me to the hospital. Luckily one of the guys walking around had an epi pen. So that helped. Still sucks and now I'm stuck at the hotel while Jazz frets like a mother hen. I don't think she's even realized that she has a rash on her hand from when she threw the flowers away from me.

June 19, 2002

So… Batman is real… wtf? He apparently has some questions for Mom and Dad but they haven't come back yet. He apologized to me and Jazz for waking us up and gave us suckers? Which. Weird. And Jazz threw them away when he left because “stranger danger is still a thing even if they are a hero”. RIP little Root Beer flavored DumDum. You will be missed.

And on the other hand, Robin was pretty cool. He's snarky and brave and hilarious and he is just so cool. 10/10 New favorite Robin. He even gave me a book recommendation for the report I'm supposed to turn in at the start of freshman year.

June 22, 2002

We were supposed to leave Gotham today. We were supposed to finally head to one of the lakes on the way home to do some camping and fishing. We were supposed to have a relaxing time. So please journal. Can you tell me why the giant wannabe scaly just threw the GAV? Now we are going to be stuck in this stupid city for another week while Mom and Dad fix it.

June 24, 2002

I made a new friend! Do you remember that cafe I talked about a few days ago? Well, I met a guy there. His name is Jason. He’s an absolute lit nerd but is way cool. The guy’s got muscles underneath his school uniform too. The guy looks like he could snap me like a twig yet isn’t at all like Dash. Hopefully, we can keep in contact after we head back to Amity. For now, we are planning on meeting up at the cafe tomorrow with our favorite books. I found “Star Stories”at the library so I’m bringing it with me. I don’t know if he likes stars but I hope he likes some of the stories about them.

July 9, 2002

Finally back at home. Dad had smuggled fireworks into the GAV (how they didn’t explode when KC threw it in Gotham idk) so we spent the 4th of July shooting them off at the lake. We ended up going to Lake Erie for the camping trip because Mom heard something at the convention about a ghost hanging out around there. Didn’t see any ghosts but the fishing was good. I even caught a bass the size of my head! All around it was really fun! Oh and the stars were so clear! The Summer Triangle was so clear you could point out Vega, Deneb, and Altair! It was so cool! Did you know that Vega is in the Lyra constellation? Or Deneb is in the Cygnus Constellation. And Altair is a part of the Aquila constellation!

Maybe I should ask if Mom and Dad could get me another journal for charting the stars. I’ll need the practice if I want to become an astronaut.

July 29, 2002

It’s a good thing that I got two of everything when me, Sam, and Tucker went shopping for school supplies. I got a lot of new space-themed stuff but the moment I got home Dad insisted on ghost-proofing my new backpack… It melted. I don’t even know how he managed to melt a canvas bag. It didn’t even catch fire first. Just started melting the moment Dad started spraying his new “Fenten Ecto-Rejecto Spray” on it. Wtf Dad.

On the plus side, Sam found a new coffin backpack and Tucker was able to get a new bag that had a pouch that he can put the walkman he got yesterday for his birthday. He is so hyped about it. 

August 6, 2002

School starts next week and I am so hyped. Finally going to be a high schooler. Cool Kids Club here we go!

August 15, 2002

Kill me now. May the Gods strike me down and end my suffering. May the Faits find me lacking and cut my string. May the Crone tear me from the tapestry, the mother rejects my thread from the loom and the maiden take the wool of my youth and set it aside.

Sam has just informed me that that isn’t quite what the Mother, Maiden, and Crone do but whatever. Just know that everything sucks because apparently someone called the house phone and told Mom and Dad that there was a ghost in the school. The A-listers are blaming me for ruining their high school debut.

August 30, 2002

Mom and Dad have started making more noise in the lab than normal. It’s gotten to the point that Jazz has been spending more time at the library to study. Speaking of Jazz, she has been obsessing over self-help and psychology books lately. I mean. Jazz has always talked up therapy but now she’s kinda getting snooty about it. Sam suggested we start hanging out at that gazebo thingy at the park so we can get our work done on the nicer days. We’ll have to hang at Tucker's place though on the rainy days. Sam’s parents have decided that it’s time to put their foot down and get Sam to “socialize with your actual peers Sammy-kins so that you can make better connections and start networking” or whatever. So basically Sam’s mom doesn’t want her to be associated with us plebs I guess.

September 8, 2002

Mom and Dad repurposed the fridge so they could put samples in it. Apparently, the one in the lab broke. The green stuff in the tubes kinda creeps me out. Jazz is yelling at them about it. I kinda agree. Cross-contamination anyone? Think I’m gonna eat out at Nasty more often.

September 28, 2002

Either I’m going crazy or the leftover chicken and noodle soup in the fridge was moving. Like the noodles were wiggling around like worms or something. Jazz ordered pizza.

October 5, 2002

There are new wires in the house now and they glow? Mom said that they had some sort of breakthrough and are using the samples that they have to coat some of the tech in the house to “ecto-proof” it. Apparently, the ectoplasm doesn’t like electronics so they weren’t really able to mix it with tech too well. Some of Mom’s blueprints look like Star Wars blasters. Dad’s are less impressive.

October 29, 2002

Mom and Dad have locked me and Jazz in our rooms because of the “Ghost Menaces”. Me and Jazz have both taped warning signs on our windows so some brave trick-or-treaters don’t accidentally get hurt.

November 1, 2002

The signs worked but I saw Mom and Dad taking off in the GAV around midnight. Whatever. Me and Tucker did manage to reach a new level in DOOM last night so that was cool. And it’s World Vegan Day today so Sam is going to take us out to eat at a vegan place for dinner. I have no clue what Tucker’s going to eat. Well probably get it to-go so he can get something.

I found out where Mom and Dad went last night. The cops showed up and gave Mom and Dad a ticket for destroying a part of the park's water fixture. Someone had organised a haunted forest thing in the park and my parents went absolute ape.

November 2, 2002

Who told Mom and Dad about Dia de Los Muertos? Or that there was a little remembrance celebration/party thing going on today because of it? I’ve decided to make deviled eggs in protest of their chaos and have also bought candy skulls to eat.

November 18, 2002

Apparently, there is an Occult Day(?) and Sam insists we spend the day researching cults. Tucker has found a tech cult online that says there is “Techno Magic” and he is now trying to learn it. Sam has found a book of curses and has been giggling since she found it. Sam giggling is terrifying. I am concerned.

November 28, 2002

The turkey came to life and attacked us. Mom and Dad are blaming ghosts but me and Jazz agree that this is totally their fault for putting the stupid ecto in the fridge. At least the rest of the food was edible. I mean. It had a kinda glowing but I haven’t gotten sick yet. So yay?

November 29, 2002

So the food wasn’t good and I ended up getting sick this morning. fml Jazz is mad that I ate some of it. I am fully aware of what food safety is Jazz. But I was hungry and after the turkey, I was just tired and hangry. I had no clue you had ordered pizza so :p

December 5, 2002

On the 5th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me! Nothing because my family is insane. Mom and Dad are already starting their yearly Santa argument. Sam and Tuck are both out of town to visit family for the holidays, Jazz is avoiding the house because it’s “disruptive to my mental development” and I’m grounded for yelling at Dad when he burst into my room and accidentally made my little Rover fall off the shelf and brake.

December 9, 2002

Mom and Dad’s insanity is ramping up. They almost never leave the lab now and whenever I try to bring food down to them they either just mumble and keep working or start arguing again. The whole in the wall has a frame now too.

December 24, 2002

I made a mistake when I brought Mom and Dad their dinner today. In my defense, I was just tired of them yelling about Santa. So I asked why they had hazmat suits but me and Jazz didn’t if ecto was so dangerous. Because if it’s that dangerous then the fact we have ecto in the fridge means that we should all have suits. Jazz is furious with me cause now our parents are making us try on our new suits tomorrow. I am terrified of whatever monstrosity they create no matter how “fashionable” Dad claims they will be.

December 25, 2002

It’s worse than I thought. Mine’s white.

January 15, 2003

Gods, I hate this. I’ve been sick for the past week and Jazz says we’re almost out of soup. I keep going back and forth between being hungry and puking up whatever Jazz feeds me. Mom says that she has some tea that may help but when Dad brought it up it tasted funny. It did make me feel a little better but it just had a really weird taste. Dad said it’s just because I’m sick so everything tastes funny right now.

January 19, 2003

Is it weird that I want to lick the ecto in the fridge? I’m pretty sure it is but it still kinda looks lickable to me. Like how you know that D batteries are not edible but almost everyone has licked one at some point?

Jazz just gave me a lecture about putting things in my mouth that I shouldn’t… Again…

January 27, 2003

Jazz scared me this morning. I walked into the kitchen this morning and just saw glowing eyes. Like a cat’s eyes in the dark. Jazz thinks I’m hallucinating from lack of sleep because of the all-nighter I pulled with Tuck trying to pass the next level on DOOM but I swear that her eyes were glowing.

February 9, 2003

I’m starting to worry. I know they're obsessed with their dumb portal but they haven’t eaten in 2 days. Jazz is planning on going down there and persuading (yelling at them) them to eat if they don’t come up for dinner tonight.

February 12, 2003

Happy Birthday to me. I am now 14 years old. Mom and Dad forgot it was my birthday again. They ran into the kitchen this morning because they completed their portal. They even dragged me and Jazz down into the lab to see them turn it on before we went to school. It didn’t work and now Mom and Dad are going to take a drive around town to clear their heads. They probably won’t be back until dinner time. Sam and Tucker are coming over after school though so at least it will be quiet while they are over. And I think Jazz is going to make a cake if the box of mix I saw her trying to hide from me yesterday is any indication.

You know I don't think I agree with April first being Sampo Koski's birthday. As much as I would love for him to be an april baby like me it just doesn't feel right. April first. Yeah I get why people would immediately choose that date. I mean it's right there. Fools day. Pretty easy pick. But I don't think that's right. was he born to be a fool. Was that his only option. Did he have a choice in this. That's why I don't agree with April first being his birthday. You know that's a very popular date. Very obvious. It's a date you always hear a lot of. A date where you're told a prank might be played on you. That wouldn't make the prank fun anymore. Because you were told to be wary of a prank today so you were expecting it when it did happen. Which isn't the point of a prank. The goal usually is to surprise and confuse. can't do either if you're already expecting something. Anyway my point is April first is too predictable of a birthday for Sampo. October 27th. That's a date I just thought of. A random date to me that means nothing. It was the first thing that came to mind. So that's his birthday now.

[ourvanishingghosts]

Hii!! First of all I wanna say your writing is so good I love it so so much! And second may I request Raihan x Fem Reader where her Slyveon and Mismagius are friendly nd sweet when she’s but when she turns her back or she isn’t there they turn mean? Like stealing food or whateves Fluff please? Sorry if this is too much💔

Sure thing and thank you so much. Also, this person asked to add a Milotic as well. So that Pokémon will be added too.

Troublesome Pokémon

Raihan x Fem! Reader

Raihan loves you and your Pokémon a lot. But it is when you leave him alone with them. Especially your Slyveon, Mismagius, and Milotic. They will play pranks on the poor Dragon Tamer when you are out doing errands or not in the room. For example: "Y/N, you have to believe me. Please." "Why on earth would Slyveon steal your phone and run off with it, Raihan?" "Because he does not like me." "Slyveon? Is this true?" The Fairy Pokémon shakes his head no, but Raihan ended up finding his phone on top of the fridge.

Mismagius will literally jumpscare him when he comes home or gets out of the shower. Milotic will purposely get Raihan clothes wet just to make him get a shower so that Mismagius could scare him. The pranks, the scaring, and purposely getting him wet had been going on for four months. Raihan was at his limit and told you that he is going to stay at Piers for a few days to cool off because he did not want to lash out at you. "I'm sorry, Y/N. I'm just at my breaking point with what has been happening and I don't want to accidentally lash out at you." "I understand, Raihan. I will talk with Slyveon, Mismagius, and Milotic about it and come to a solution." "Thank you, Spirit. I love you so much." He says as he kisses your cheek "I love you too, Dragon." He leaves for Piers home.

You were working on a plan with your three troublesome Pokémon. It came down to that they can only prank Raihan on April Fool's day and that they all can prank him once on his birthday. They promised that they will respect your wishes and will follow your instructions. Raihan came back home after 5 days and you filled him in on the plan. He was happy that they were so willing to do this.

It has been a whole year since that situation and your troublesome Pokémon followed through with what they had promised. It was Raihan's birthday and they had spooked him with confetti. After a long day of birthday activities, Raihan was taking a nap on the living room couch and you were cleaning up the dishes. You were finished with your task and walked into the living room only to see Raihan sleeping with Slyveon sleeping on his chest, Mismagius sleeping on his abdomen, and Milotic sleeping on the floor but with her head on Raihans feet. You smile and take a picture of this precious moment. You were glad that your Dragon Tamer and your troublesome Pokémon had finally gotten along. You couldn't of asked for anything better than this moment and you ended up leaning against Milotic on the floor and falling asleep.

[sonicphobia0601]

Well... I guess it's time for me to be serious. This marks the seven year anniversary of my dad passing away. I still remember the date.

February 11, 2018. I was in my dad's room, watching videos on YouTube and playing Sonic Dash on my tablet. With zero explanation, at 4:30, I lost complete interest in what I was doing. It was raining. My mom came home that night and told me the bad news. That night, I said goodbye to my dad for the last time.

We had his memorial gathering on his birthday. It was supposed to be his sixtieth birthday. A lot of people came to see my family, including the kind of family I don't like giving attention to.

Enough pity on the past!

Why don't you show how you grew as a person? I know you miss your dad, but show what happened afterwards!

Okay then.

2018: Dad died. The beginning of my development of personality started here. After my dad died, I only took one day off from school. I had prom on my 18th birthday and was the only time I pulled a complete all nighter due to attending prom and post prom. I graduated high school that year with cum laude. I start college living on campus that fall. And let me tell you, it's not 100% like the movies. I was on the Cheer team and accidentally discovered my love for horror, playing a bunch of FNAF. I start playing Sonic games, discovering that I actually loved Sonic. Yes, I wrote fanfiction at 16, but it was cringe and trauma dumping at its finest.

2019: I befriend the class snitch (big mistake), got gaslit by both the head of the special needs program along with the class snitch. Ended up alone. Had a mental breakdown that resulted in me getting suspended indefinitely (not proud of myself). Slowly figured out that I wasn't exactly straight.

2020: Remember that suspension from 2019? Well, it cost me a scholarship but it is a blessing in disguise... Because while I was suspended, I was not allowed on campus. And we all know what happened in March of that year. I completely avoided a tactical nuke because of my suspension. It turned out, my old college had a big outbreak of COVID. I honestly enjoyed the first part of COVID because it was quiet and no overstimulating activity happened outside. Got myself a temporary job at a gym as a custodian. It was nasty but the people there liked me. I completed Portal 2. And I attended a Halloween wedding that year. I dressed as a plague doctor for the XDs. That was fun. And I start writing on Wattpad.

2021: Uh... I'm not talking about what transpired here. But long story short, if you are drinking alcohol, GO SLOWLY. You'll thank me later. And that was when I learned of Poppy Playtime. I thought it was an April Fools prank by Zamination. It wasn't. Had fun playing it. And I start college in a community college. I decided to try Archive of Our Own as an outlet for my much darker stories.

2022: I kept getting misgendered online. So I started using they/them because of the obvious mistake. So now I figured out I'm pansexual and nonbinary.

2023: I entered the Billie Bust Up fandom because I found a short on YouTube, specifically one of Barnaby. Got curious. Fell in love with the game. Rest is history. Started a cosplay on Barnaby. Taught myself how to stim discreetly. (Yes, I borrowed Fantoccio's face pat stim)

Now, here we are. 2024. I wonder how much I would grow.

april tc challenge (days 1-30 one shot)

April TC Challenge by @morethanwords0475

done this back in may, don't know why i didn't post this but it's updated to passion fruit!

Day 1: Happy April Fool's! Have you ever pranked your tc; if so, how did they react?

nope but ive surprised him with a birthday present and he was so stunned

Day 2: What is the earliest thing you can remember about your tc?

i was walking around with some seniors and saw him and back then i was like year one so i didn't know who he was and my seniors were like oh that's passion fruit, he's super scary but he's a good teacher

Day 6: Have you ever noticed any small habits they have? If so, what comes to mind first?

he paces a lot while standing up and his resting position is hands behind is back. he never buttons his shirts to the max, there's always at least two buttons undone unless he needs to wear a tie, and he'll run his hand through his hair absentmindedly, and he talks softer when he's one on one, or when he's giving instructions to me, and he'll always say "come on lah" in the same tone, same facial expression, same pronunciation. when he doesn't remember a particular detail about the chapter, he'll wave his hand around in the same way, and he will always lean to the side and shift his weight around whenever he's talking, he just can't stand still :'

Day 7: What gift would you like to be able to give them, regardless of if it's realistic or not?

i'd like to gift him my book, like be able to dedicate it to him in the dedications because he's the muse and main character of my book, but it's still in process

Day 8: Does your tc ever talk about what it was like when they were still a student?

yup, he was telling us once how he used to play truant HAHA

Day 9: Does your tc have a significant other? If so, what do you know about them, and how do you feel about them?

he has a wife and three kids, i don't know anything about his wife but his kids i know some stuff about, and ive seen his youngest son a lot because he goes to the middle school that's affiliated with my high school

Day 10: What is the longest time you've gone without seeing them?

maybe a month or two? i try my best to go back to my high school every now and then

Day 11: What do other people usually think of them?

those who have been in his class say he's super funny and his predictions for the national exam topics are eerily accurate, those who haven't been in his class say he's scary looking, they think he's a gangster LMAO

Day 12: Do you often make up excuses to speak to them? What kinds of excuses do you like to use?

OH FOR SURE i go back to school in hopes of seeing him, i ask him questions when i was still a student, i did so many practice papers for him to go through with me

Day 13: Other than the subject they teach, what are they really passionate about?

i feel he's passionate about family, he always seems so gentle around the topic of his family and he's really a compassionate and understanding person, he values family and kindness a lot and i that about him, he's also big on knowledge in general and also feel he's passionate about his looks LMAO he always dresses really cool and he always wants to look good and stuff and it's kinda cute

Day 14: What is a skill you really wish your tc had?

i wish that he would sing more, he has such a good singing voice but he doesn't sing out of teasing us :( i also wish he wrote poems or books or short stories or anything really, he looks like he has a really interesting perspective on life and just looks so poetry coded please and why does he look like such a guitar player...

Day 15: Which MBTI personality do you think they are? (If you don't do MBTI, which Hogwarts House do you think they'd be in?)

he's definitely a slytherclaw, not sure about his mbti but i would KILL to know his mbti

Day 16: if you could go back in time and choose, would you still choose to develop feelings for your tc?

I WOULD SLAP MY YOUNGER SELF how could i have been so blind??? the most perfect man (him) was right in front of me and i stupidly chased after mango... i regret my entire prom man i could have made so many memories with passion fruit :'

Day 17: If it was the last time you would ever be able to see your tc, what is one thing you would never leave without saying to them?

would tell him that he's built my confidence and self esteem up and never brought it down before, something that nobody has ever done before and he's taught me not to be afraid to put my opinions out and that I'll never know if I don't try, so he's given me the spirit of curiosity and trying no matter the circumstances and the odds and that he's genuinely my favorite teacher and that i do love him :'

Day 18: When was the first time you cried because of them?

never cried cause of him before <3

Day 19: How well do you think you know them?

i definitely only know like 30% of him :'

Day 20: Do you ever lie to them? About what?

i hardly ever lie so nope

Day 21: What is the longest time you've spent with them?

one on one maybe around forty minutes or so, in a class/with people maybe an hour plus

Day 22: If you have had other tcs in the past (or right now), how are they similar to or different from your current (or primary) tc?

mango vs passion fruit: I guess the difference between the two of them is that they're polar opposites HAHA

Day 23: Have you ever seen your tc in clothes they don't usually wear? Casual clothes if they wear formal attire or the other way around?

he always wears a dress shirt and dress pants 24/7 but during photo takings/formal events he wears ties and I'm like woah okay, and ive seen him wear our house shirts or just polo/soccer team shirts and it looks quite cute on him, ive seen him in shorts before and ive died before

Day 24: When was the last time they made your heart thump?

every. single. time. i. see. him. especially when we make eye contact ajajsjdgfdks

Day 25: How do you think your tc would react if you confided in them that you felt sad or stressed or anxious?

i think he would show me so much care and concern that it would physically wrench my soul, he's always so sweet and he is the kind of person to check in on you if he knows something's up, or follow up with you and he would definitely reassure me that he has full confidence in me :'

Day 26: What is the best dream you've had of them?

i dont knowww unfortunately i dont dream a lot about him but there was one time in a dream he initiated a photo with me

Day 27: What is the saddest/scariest dream you've had of them?

glad to say that I haven't got any dreams like that regarding him before

Day 28: Does your tc ever bring you up to other students/teachers that you know of?

oh definitely, my friend from another class told me he praised me in front of them 😭

Day 29: Do you see them as being a romantic person? Are you?

HE WOULD BEEE hes so tender and thoughtful and really really really sweet and he takes the initiative and hes just so wonderful hes definitely romantic... im a hopeless romantic enough said

Day 30: How have they changed since you two first met? How have you changed?

hes played around with his hair more and the way his beard outlines his jawline is insane now, hes more casual and comfortable around me and hes also able to joke with me more hehe. im more confident in terms of speaking my opinions out, im more comfortable with being myself around him, and i think because of them, im more thoughtful and i put in more effort in studies and gifts and my wardrobe too HAHAHHA

Let's just continue. I'm Keiko Kobayashi, third year at Miya, and I'm the guitarist. I was born August 5th. I enjoy baking and dislike loud people.

Wow, that's rude...

Loud people excluding Sumire.

Better.

Anyways...my favorite food is freshly baked cookies, and my least favorite is onions. Your turn, Yuri-chan.

M-Me?! O-Okay! I'm Yuri Takeda, second year at Miya Girls, and I-I'm the keyboardist for Violet*Dayz...! My birthday is November 18th! I enjoy reading and don't like cooking! Because I'm not very good at it...a-and my favorite food is curry! I don't like sour foods though...

Okay, we're all done, right?

Yep!

Yes.

Y-Yeah!

Alright! Violet*Dayz, out!

I don't think I've ever seen you mention- what Sector does Numbuh Fifty-Two Pickup belong to? And in addition, how does he get along with Numbuh Three Sixty-Two? (I only ask because she's probably my favourite character)

still not sure what the name / letter for his sector should be unfortunately :(

YESSS 362 is also one of my favorites :) she's awesome. I briefly went over them on the moonbase relationships page but I feel like I left a lot out trying to summarize so I'll be going over it in more detail here

basically, after chad went traitor, benny was... reluctant about a new supreme leader. to his surprise, when rachel gets the chance to level with him, he can relate to her more! she has anxiety and that makes benny's situation a bit easier to handle from experience. a little awkward sometimes but she always means well. 274 was pretty nice to struggling kids, of course, but he had problems connecting with benny because he was kind of like. repressing his own issues so to speak. he was more distracted with thinking up his 13th birthday plan by the last time they talked to be concerned with hypocrisy. as mean as this sounds, it wasn't his problem anymore anyway. 52p could understand that, right?

52 pickup doesn't want to believe rachel would "pull a 274" in the future because there's no real reason for her to do so. (although benny or the average operative could wonder how she doesn't go mad with all the stuff she has to do)

the last thing rachel tries to do with benny is invite him up to moonbase on april fools day. since benny is always the one getting pranked on that day (something even rachel couldn't help but to indulge in if possible) and his birthday is the very next day she's like "hey do you want to just go all out and prank whoever up here?" but it doesn't work for this exact reason:

at that point 52p is already like. isolating himself and not really letting others in. so he says no and abruptly ends the transmission. 52p rejecting her offer doesn't feel good, and it makes her worried she's doing something wrong. despite seeing so so many kids per day, witnessing one decline in real time is still hard. she has to deal with paperwork and constant stress as it is. a lot of it boils down to there only being so much she can do and benny recognizing that while also thinking it's not fair. being a part of the knd, especially anything moonbase-level, means there's the possibility of making a lot of mistakes without much time to ruminate on them. you have a very important job to do. you put other kids before yourself. benny having a mistake he ruminates on is natural, but it's also seen as a problem. she didn't think he was a bad kid or really a bad operative.

This is probably the weirdest dream I've ever had.

Last night, I had a dream where I went to a carnival for my birthday. I remember the colors of the sky and grass, and general atmosphere being similar to that of the carnival world from Banjo-Tooie. I saw this ride that was like April Fool's-themed, and I was like "I want to ride that one!" But soon, I realized how insane and terrifying this ride may be due to that fact it's based on pranks and deception, and immediately begged everyone not to take me there.

Then, there was this whole thing about me wanting to make a custom doll based on Storm from The X Men. I remember I already had the white hair, I just needed the clothes and to style it. I was at first thinking about styling hair to make it kinky and curly, however, I then found this wig in some shop styled in braids, and got that instead. But then I think I changed my mind, idk.

And alright, this is when it gets insane. For some reason, the dream ended up turning into this world based on some weird era my mind made up. It was like, around the late 1800's to 1950's, I think. It was apparently this time period where people were disappearing a lot, I guess. (Also, btw, this time period in time isn't real. My mind is just that insane.)

In this weird arc of my dream, it started in a spaceship. But in this version of the world, people were miraculously able to travel into space as early as the early 1800's to 1910's. The spaceship even seemed to have less advanced technology, not having any sort of electricity to it, and moving at the same speed as a toy car. I remember it was mostly made out of glass, revealing much of space through a big window.

Here's a sketch of what I remember it looking like, btw:

Anyways, with that aside, this arc started with people in some space ship. (I was in the perspective of someone in the spaceship.) But then the person controlling it decided to move it to Earth, because I think there were people who were either terrified or bored. It then landed on Earth, where things turned white, and it was like some generic movie opening.

This is where our arc finally starts. I'm pretty sure this was also at the fair. I remember I was either Storm from The X Men, or I was spectating her like someone watching a TV. Idk. But I remember her going round the fair and stuff.

But then, she disappeared in 1800, I think, idk. I remember in the fair, she had a tombstone there. Apparently, she was in outer space the whole time, I guess. But I have no clue. Eight or seven years later, she returned to Earth. However, the people she went to the fair with turned on her. They were mad at her for abandoning them.

Alright, I'm almost done with this. Now we have a completely different and probably crazier arc. I don't really know how to describe this one. But I'll try my best.

So I think I was the main character in this one again. Or at least I think. I'm pretty sure this was also set at the fair, but in a different part. I remember it was this mountain in some desert climate. More of a Western kind, not a Sahara kind.

I don't know how to explain this, but I remember Inside Out was heavily involved. I think while we were traveling up the mountain in the van we were in, we were watching it. But I have no clue. I think we also ate some square pizza from Pizza Hut in this dream, but again, I don't really have any clue.

However, I do remember how it ended. I remember we were in this one area, which I think was the end of the mountain. It was like this colosseum-like building, but a bit smaller, that was blue in color. And then, my dream cut to a comment, probably a YouTube comment, of someone saying, "Tbh I don't like Sam x Frodo or tokenism."

And then, I woke up.

[callme-secret]

-confuses romantic interest for panic attacks "you don't get it James, I think my hearts I going to explode." "Mate it's just a crush."

-absolutely loathes peanut butter mixed with chocolate, thinks it tastes like feet

-is mildly allergic to dogs, so not only does he get sniffles around Sirius, but he also gets allergies around the full moon.

-gets weirdly into April fool's day. Like any other day of the year he's chill with his pranks, but on the first of April even Dumbledore keeps an eye out for the young Lupin.

-had a chill emo phase. Like listened to edgy music, painted his nails, thought about piercing his ear for a solid mintue before Sirius had an identity crisis and he had to stop.

-there's a random hufflepuff that uses the hogwarts kitchen to bake. They don't ever talk, but she always leaves him extra treats when she knows he's gonna come to the kitchens

-has a favorite house elf who works at hogwarts. His name is Jonsy, and he absolutely adores Remus.

-doesn't actually celebrate Christmas, but still gets gifts for the boys.

-has no idea what quidditch is about or how to play, but goes to all of the Gryffindor matches

-Likes to stare at clouds

-naps all the time

-one time in his secound year he tripped in front of a group of ravenclawes, and sometimes he still thinks about it, hes still embarrassed

-sleep talks, sometimes Sirius and James talk back for fun. "Sirius did you know that you have a nose?" "Very observant Moony." "Why is it so big?" "oi, wHAT-"

-Is petty. Like really petty.

-almost got a tattoo, chickened out last second, now has a permanent line on his shoulder.

DONE

[marzipanandminutiae]

10, 12 and 13 for Crimson Peak?

10. It’s April’s Fools Day. Which character do you play a trick on? What’s the trick?

I'm terrible at April Fools pranks. Or just like...observing April Fools, period. It's the day before my birthday, so I'm usually thinking about that.

I guess Edith is the least likely to get me killed (by the pranked individual or an extremely protective sibling thereof). I'd empty all of her pens while she was out of the room and pretend to have no idea how they got that way.

...or I'd "prank" Lucille by giving her some chocolate and sheet music and wishing her happy birthday. I imagine that doesn't happen very often- at least, from anyone besides Thomas. She'd never see it coming!

(Per the bios, Lucille's birthday is April 1st.)

12. You’re transformed into a fly for a day. Who do you follow around? You can’t talk to them. They don’t know you’re there. Why do you choose them?

Can I pick both Sharpes? They're usually together, right? I think I'd like to know what an ordinary, more or less happy day looks like for them. We don't really get to see that in the movie.

Also I love watching people work on automata.

13. You can read minds. Choose two characters whose mind you want to read.

Lucille, obviously, because she's my Fave and I'd like more insight into her as a person.

And Edith, because I'd like to know just how much her "fascination" really was with both siblings.

(Thomas' mind, as we all know, contains no thoughts. Only calliope music, cowardice, and love.)

[babymagi]

I know it’s late but, how would Magi characters do April fools?

Fucking hate April Fools because people try to combine it with my birthday and i just don't find it funny :/

I will do some of them though <3

Aladdin: Absolutely fuckin loves this holiday and teams up with Alibaba to do a bunch of different pranks, all harmless though

Alibaba: Makes sure Aladdin has the funds to do said pranks

Morgiana: Is the victim of a few from these two ^^ then asks to join in on getting everyone else

Judar: Booby traps the entire Kou Palace and just watches the chaos ensue

Hakuryuu: Cries when a prank is pulled on him, forgets that it's April Fools day every time and is very gullible

Kougyoku: Absolutely doesn't think it's funny when a prank is pulled on her but giggles when seeing it happen to others. She teamed up with Judar and Kouha to prank Ka Koubun and Kouen

Sinbad: Also booby trapped his palace with pranks.... but didn't do it very well so they all kind of failed lmao

April Fools Day

This is from my OC Libby's POV here below. This story is already on my Wattpad, but since today's April 1st, I thought 'Why the hell not?'

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed it. And I hope you all don't get pranked too hard, because I don't think that would be so good.

Here's the chapter on my Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/1091063118-libby-sinclair-the-arcadia-oaks-diaries-april

~~

It all started when my friends and me, well not really. Jim..  and Toby both weren't at school yet; Must be running late. Claire and I were already arriving at Arcadia Oaks High.

"It's such a wonderful day," I say as I take a gander at the morning sky.

"I know right! Never had the chance to just take a look at the sky for once.." Claire says.

Then, we see Jim in the small distance, looking around in a panic, all jumpy, paranoid-like. Carefully watching his steps as he walks. The two of us run up to Jim to see what's going on.

"Hey, Jim.. uh.." The boy quickly looks behind him and in front again.

"Uhh.. Hi.." He says with a frenzy. I see him trembling as he spoke.

"Jim are you ok?" Claire rushes up to him

"No! I.. am not.."

"Why, what's happened?" I ask with concern.

"You guys know what day it is?" He vigorously shakes my shoulders.

"Uhh.. Monday?" I ask.

"No.. well yes. But other than that- It's the day.." Jim continues to shake my shoulders as he spoke.

Claire and I are still a bit on the confusing side, something's up with him. Trollhunting's really gotten to him... Poor kid.

"You're hurting my shoulders, Jim," I strain, trying to point to my shoulders.

"Oh, sorry!" He lets go.

"Anyways, It's... *sigh* It's April Fool's Day.."

"Well, that's wonderful!" I cheer.

"Cool! So, why are you so worried about that?" Claire asks.

"It's Tobes' favorite holiday.." Jim hisses.

"And every April, he likes to pull off one of his 'pranks'" "On me!"

"Oh, well that's nice. What's wrong with that?" I ask.

"No, no- You don't understand.. He pulls off these ridiculous pranks, annoying pranks on me!"

"Like...?" Claire and I both say at the same time.

Jim sighs runs his hand to his face. "One time, he filled my whole room with bubble gum- Don't even ask me how he managed to do that.." "It took forever to get rid of the gum.." "There still some tiny bits of it on my desk,"

"Another time, Toby screwed up the food that I made.. THAT I SPENT TIME PREPARING! ..Filled it with dirt, bugs, and other gross things I will not mention,"

"Oh my.." I gasp as I cover my mouth with my hands.

"AAAAND! He- I don't know HOW, but he places BALLOONS, CONFETTI ALL OVER MY ROOM! EVERYWHERE. On my desk, my bed, my chair, windows, ceiling, door, EVERYWHERE! It was like a 6-year old's birthday party.. He ALSO managed to tie balloons to me, all over my hair, arms, with SCRIBBLINGS ALL OVER MY ARMS IN SHARPIE!"

Claire and I gasp.

"Those are just SOME of his little pranks.. I won't tell you guys all of them.."

"Yeah, thank goodness don't." I sighed.

Toby then comes up to us, just arriving.

"Heeyyyyy ladies!" He greets us.

"Oh, no.." Whispers Jim as he sees him, his whole body tensing up, eyes wide open.

"Hey, Jim-" He goes over to hug his best friend, but Jim recoils back in a flash.

"aaAAHH!" Jim yelps as we watch him quickly dash off, trying to pass the horde of students to get as far away from Toby as he can get. Just running off in a frenzy so far, he's so tiny now that he's far away from us. We see him in the distance, looking around frantically, gasping, and next thing you know- He's gone.

"Bye Jim!" I say in a sing-song tone, awkwardly waving.

"You guys know what day it is?" Toby asks, full excitement in his voice.

"Yeah, we all know.. It's April Fools Day," Claire responds.

"Yep, and today I have some new hidden surprises.. Especially for Jimbo.."

"C'mon.. Give Jim a break.. I'm sure he's been tormented enough..?" I say.

"Yeah.." Claire agrees.

"Oh come on! I don't prank him THAT hard- I do this to him EVERY SINGLE YEAR, He LOVES it!" Tobes exclaimed, jumped up with his arms wide open.

"And.. who knows.. Maybe you two might be on my list of surprises..!" He chuckles in a fake-ish sinister tone, rubbing his hands together.

"Ah, well I'm gonna go get a Diablo Maximus Breakfast Burrito!" "See you guys in a few!" And he's gone. Great.

~~~

Claire and I went over to our lockers to get our things for our first class of the day. I went up to the metal blue locker, unlocked my lock, and opened it, where all my things were there snug and safe.

As I grab my textbook and notebook, I notice Claire struggling to open her locker.

"What's wrong," I ask her.

"I.. Can't... OPEN... LOCKER" She pulls hard on the handle, trying to get it unclosed, but it does not budge.

"Did you get the lock out first?" I suggest

Claire stops for a moment so she can relax a bit.

"I did, but the locker door's stuck.."

"That's odd.." I say. I spot a bright orange Post-It note- Well part of it sticking out from the thin little vent thingies at the top of the said locker.

"Hey, Claire look! There's something sticking out of there..!" I point to the Post-it note at the top.

"Whoa.. What in the world-" She reached over for the little piece of paper, struggling a bit on it.

Then another little Post-it note popped out, attached to the orange one, then another, another one, and another one, so on, all attached together, making a long chain.

Claire pulled and pulled on the chain until finally there was no more, just a big giant chain of them, forming a large pile on the ground.

She tried to open the locker door, once more, and she did! She opened it, only to see a white piece of paper in front of the locker inside. She picked it up, I got closer to see what it said.

"April fools.." Claire reads the note.

"...April fools....Seriously?"

"THIS is Toby's surprise? A CRUMMY prank? Does he even THINK he can pull off a so-called prank- Like THIS?" Claire chuckles at the horribly made prank, I laugh with her, seeing how it ended up.

But then out laughter was sharply interrupted as I hear a loud POP! I turn away to duck from the loud sudden sound, instinctively.

Everyone in the whole school heard the loud sound and soon started forming a large crowd around us.

What happened? Why's everyone all around us all of a sudden..? Why..? Oh, dear..

Then I notice confetti ALL OVER THE LOCKER, the ground... I look up and then take a glimpse of CLAIRE. Her hair was all messed up, all tangled up. She had her eyes very open, like she saw some ghost, staring at the locker. It was like a rainbow had thrown up on her, all glittery and shiny, with shreds of colored paper all over her.

Out of NOWHERE, Toby comes out from the crowd shouting, "GOTCHA!" and burst out laughing, while munching on his burrito. The rest of the audience started laughing along with him, too, which got really humiliating and quite embarrassing.

"UGH!" Claire slammed her locker shut and stormed off. Soon, the bell rang, which the laughter stopped abruptly, people running to their classes, scattering about.

I was in the bathroom with Claire. Her face was all heated up from the gruesome prank. I was fixing her hair, getting rid of all the confetti.

"I'm so sorry, you experienced that, Claire," I say sadly.

"It was Toby.. He made all of this.." Claire says furiously.

"Yes, it was him," I agree. I finish brushing her hair and put her hair clips back in her hair where they were before.

"There, now you look radiant!" I say.

"Thanks, Libby. Now let's get to class.."

In class, as the both of us came in, everyone looked at us. We sat down in our seats. Thankfully, Toby wasn't in our class, just Jim, Claire, and I.

Jim saw us sit down, and gave me a 'Is everything all right?' look. I proceeded to give him an assuring thumbs up, to which he nodded back and gave us another thumbs up.

Throughout school, we were more cautious at places we went to, like the bathroom, hallways, etc. Luckily we didn't get pranked, or anything. Jim was more paranoid, just as paranoid as he was early in the morning when we saw him, so he wasn't hanging out with us for the remainder of the school, because of it.

After a while, we didn't see any sign of Toby, anywhere. We thought maybe we were safe. OH WE WERE WRONG.

"Okay, I think we're safe.." I managed to say as I got out of my hiding spot by the vending machine.

"I think we may have gone prank-free for the school day," I tell Claire. Claire had also gotten out of her spot as well, behind a large bush by a large while pillar.

"I guess, so," She says, a slow smile forming on her face. I went over to the water fountain to get a sip of water- Bad choice.

I pressed the button, getting my mouth close to the water thingy, waiting, but no water came out. I pressed the button again and again, but nothing. I pressed it again, my face going close to the water thingy to see if there's any water coming out.

Yep, there was- A LOT. A large amount of water splashing out of the fountain, soaking me completely- Like a fire hose. Did I also mention there were soap suds in the water? I was drenched in sudsy soap water from the fountain. The fountain of LIES!

"UGH! GOSH DARN IT TOBY!" I yell out full of rage.

By then, the huge crowd returned and formed around me. Claire had her mouth covered by her hands in shock. My eyes were wide open, my body froze up, all tensed up. Everyone but Claire started laughing super hard.

Toby comes next to us, out of the crowd. "GOTCHA LIBBY!" "HAHAHAHA!" He joins the masses in their laughing. The end of school bell rings, and everyone stops.

I frown in anger as my hair is dripping with water, my clothes all wrinkled and damp, I take a deep breath and walk away in embarrassment, Claire following me, everyone else staring back. But I stopped and I realized soemthing just now. I turn to Claire and asked,

"Wait- where's Jim?"

We'd forgotten all about him.. Hmm, what's he up to now? We walked around the school grounds, trying to look for any trace of him. It's Arcadia and if people say that impossible can happen, oh well in this town- IT CAN and IT WILL! We're talking trolls, goblins, all of that.. (OOP SORRY! FOCUS LIBBY, FOCUS ON THE OBJECTIVE, THE TASK AT HAND!)

We hear some slight rumbling over by the trash bins, where we run to them. Jim pops out of one of them, slightly startling us. He had a banana peel and some other trash on his hair and all over him kind of.

"Hey.. ladies," He managed to rasp out, coughing from the horrid trash stench.

"Uh.. Hi," Claire says with a chuckle.

"Uh, Libby why are you all wet.. and are those soap suds on your hair?" He asks, pointing to my hair, squinting to get a more better view.

"Toby happened. I just went over to the water fountain to get a sip of water, then POOF a bunch'a water flies out and splashed me," I explain.

"Did Claire get pranked?"

"Yes.. she did. A confetti bomb in her locker,"

"It could've gone worse.. We're talking about Tobias the Lunatic here.." Jim said

"Yep.... Uhh..anyways.. what.. are you doing in a garbage bin?" I ask, pointing to the bin.

"Hiding from you-know-who," He quietly says.

"And.. I couldn't find anywhere else to hide, I can't make it obvious.. Too many witnesses.. Who knows if they're on His side.."

"Wait- were you in there ALL DAY?" Claire asked

"WhAAT! That-That's CRAZYYY! NOO! NO NO! 'Course NOT!" He laughs awkwardly, trying to hide his lie. We both give him a look.

"Uhh... yes... It's true.. Yes, I was in there all day," Jim admits.

"Please help me out." He pleads. The two of us get him out of the long garbage bin.

"AAH! He yelped as the bin tipped over, falling down on the concrete floor.

"Thanks.." He stands up, trying to stay balanced, while brushing off some garbage off of himself.

"Let's head over to your house, Claire"

"Why not your house?" I ask.

"Because I feel like it's the less pranked one."

"We certainly can't go to Claire's house .. It may be more pranked than mine.." "How about my house," I suggest.

"There's magic, and he knows NOTHING about it.. He can't even hold a potion vial correctly!"

"Alrighty, let's make a run for it."He says.

*Insert Run Meme*

We run as fast as we have ever ran before in our lives to my house. After getting inside, I lock the door.

"My Aunt and Uncle aren't home yet, thankfully," "Valeria's at the skate park and Lorraine went to her friend's birthday party, just now" I inform them.

"Okay, good good." We decide to sit down on the couch, carefully checking to see if it's pranked. We didn't do anything for a little while, just us sitting down, because of the incidents that happened earlier.

Everything was all calm, nothing, weird. Then finally Claire asked.

"You guys want guacamole?"

And of course, Jim and I immediately responded with, "Yes please!"

Jim got up to help Claire make the guacamole, as he does he spots a cake- a red velvet cake, beautifully decorated.

"Hey, Libby..? Mind if I have a slice of this?" I turn around confused.

"Sure.. Go for it.. Here I'll help you-"

"No, it's fine I got it.." He says, grabbing a knife to cut a slice, and gets a plate.

Then I got suspicious.. When did I make a cake..? Since when DO I make cakes.. Umm

"But.. wait... I don't remember-" But I couldn't finish because Jim screamed super loud, making me nearly fall back.

"AAAHHHHH!" We saw everything, we all proceeded to scream, as well. There was a hand coming from the cake. Jim got and grasped the knife, ready to use it, Claire and I getting behind Jim.

We heard some laughter coming from under the cupboard, next to the sink. We knew who's laugh that was.

We all halted our screaming, Jim putting down the knife, then quickly opening the cupboard, to reveal Toby.

"GOTCHA THREE! HAHAHAHA!" Toby tries to point at us, but fails to move his arm.

"...HAHAHAHA- Uh.. I can't feel my legs" He says. Then he kind of struggles, trying to get himself out, finally doing so.

"Whew! That was intense!" "Now where was I?" "Oh right.. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!" He continued.

I swiftly quickly ran off, to hide downstairs to the Potions/Brewing room, where no one noticed me dash off.

Toby continued his laughter.

"Did you know about this Libby?" Jim whispered, then he realized I was gone, Claire finding out too.

"Uhh.. Libby?" Jim asks looking around.

*No one's POV*

Jim and Claire looked back at Toby who gave them a sneaky smirk. Then they heard Libby's scream from downstairs. The alarmed teens immediately rush downstairs to where the potions were, all dark and smokey.

"Libby?!" "Where are you?!" Claire yells out. The two try looking for a light switch, struggling in the dark. Jim gets out his phone and turns on the flashlight on his phone. Finally, he finds the switch, turns it on, the whole room illuminating, Jim turns off his flashlight.

"Libby!" Libby turns around, and they notice black ash all over her face, throughout her clothes. Her hair was a mess, also filled with ash.

"Libby! Oh my God!" "What happened?" They rushed up to her.

*Cough* *Loud cough* "I- I- I *cough* I ran down here to hide.. Then when I went downstairs the lights flickered on and off, finally off.. *cough*"

"... I tripped on something, and some potions fell. Then when the light turned back on, I looked at the vials and they were all messed up."

"I see.." Claire notices the broken potion vials.

Claire and Jim notice some more smoke coming from the top of Libby's hair.

"Umm Libby?" Your hair.." Jim points to his head.

"What about my hai-" She touches her burnt hair.

"AHHHH!!! MY HAIR! MY SWEET SWEET HAIR!" She freaks out.

"Why would Toby do that..? Whhhhyyyy??" She sobs.

"We can't even dare to escape now.. I bet Toby has this place set up." "Toby could've done whatever, but why target me.. Especially MY HAIR.. My sweet soft hair.." I continue to sob as I rub my charred hair

As Jim takes a step, there's some slight rumbling, not loud, but some noise. He stepped on a booby trap. Then out of nowhere feathers fall out of nowhere, falling on the three.

"AHH!" "What's this stuff... FEATHERS? SERIOUSLY?!" Jim rages.

"We have to get out of here!" "Wait, Claire, you do have your Skathe Hrun with you, right?"

"'Course I do!" She gets out her staff. " Claire makes a portal.

"Take us to Trollmarket now!" Jim says.

Soon, a giant portal appears before us, we all run into it, the portal soon closing like nothing's happened. Toby comes inside the room, discovering that Jim Claire and Libby were long gone, he sees the broken vials, some parts of feathers left over.

"They are so doomed, heh heh," And he left, happily chuckling to himself.

*Libby's POV*

We got to Trollmarket, where all three of us landed in Blinky's library.

"Ah, Master Jim, Claire, Lady Sinclair! What brings you here?" He comes to greet us, helping us up.

"We need to hide in here for a while! A lonnng while!" I panic.

"I think we should be fine in here.." Claire adds.

"Great Gronka Morka! What has happened to your hair!? Why are do you have feathers everywhere..? "What happened to you three!?"

"It was Toby.." Jim explains, he coughs, dusting off some feathers.

"It's April Fools Day, today and he pranked all of us." I say.

"Yeah, Tobes does this to us every single year, the first of every April," Claire says.

"Well, I suppose you three may stay here until said day is over," Blinky said.

"Thank gosh!" I cheer.

"Cool! Great," Jim and Claire both say.

Blinky turns around to grab a book to read, but notices that it wasn't there- None of them actually weren't on the shelves.

"What in- MY BOOKS!" "My BOOKS! ALL OF MY BOOKS- THEY'RE GONE!" Blinky frets.

"BUT HOW?!" I ask.

"We got away from Toby!" "How could that happen..??"

Then I notice something drip from the rock ceiling onto the table.

"Uhh, Blinky? I think I know where your books are.." I point to the ceiling, where all his books were glued to the top, all over the ceiling.

"All right, I do not know how that boy does it, but it is UNACCEPTABLE!" "That conniving pudgy SNEAK! That SCOUNDREL" Blinky accidentally slams his hand on the stone table where the large glob of glue was.

He realizes his mistake as he struggles to get his hand off, but does not work, he tries and strains trying to get his hand unstuck. And with some more pulling, finally.

Then a piece of paper got stuck on his other arm, starting the whole pattern again, then his other arms got stuck on a smaller, older book he had at his table. And from then on, it just turned into a struggling scene.

"OH NO! He's pranked the library, too," I whisper fearfully, I step closer to the two, complete fear. Jim and Claire nod in agreement.

Just then, Toby barges into the library, feeling absolutely proud of himself.

"Hello, guys!" We all freeze and stare at the pudgy boy as he walks in nonchalantly.

"What'd you guys think of my surprises today?" He asked us.

I scowled deeply at him. My voice starts off calm and sweet, Jim and Claire watch my short-spoken rant, nodding in agreement. "Well, Toby.. I think that your surprises.." Then my voice got really loud and furious.

".. COMPLETELY EMBARRASSED AND HUMILIATED US!" I took a deep breath and stared at him.

"And poor Blinky.. Can't get that book out of his hands.. Because of your 'little prank' Jim says sternly, as he points at Blinky.

"Oh, and don't worry.. I won't do any more pranks.. April Fools Day is almost over..." He says solemnly.

"Good!" We all cheer and laugh and celebrate.

"Don't you all just stand there and do nothing, help me remove this book from my hands!" Blinky grumbles.

Ooops.. I get a small vial from my backpack, where I slowly little bit pour the liquid onto Blinky's blue stone hands, where the book falls flat to the ground.

"There! All clear!"

"Much appreciated, Elizabeth!"

"Well that's great and all, but I have one more surprise for you.. Jimbo"

Jim's eyes widened and he froze as he heard this.

"Y-You do, Tobes?" He smiles nervously.

"Mhm! Since you tried dodging my pranks today.. Pretty good, I'll admit.. you're getting a special treat,"

"Oh, Saraline!" He calls out in a sing-song voice, darkly chuckling. Saraline Timbers comes inside the library with a pie in her hand. Saraline gives Jim a sinister smile.

"Yes, Toby?" She asks.

"Kindly give Jimbo what he deserves," Toby says, pointing to poor Jimbo.

"Okayaaaayyy, I will!" She aims the pie at Jim, which was just about to hit his face, but before it does, Saraline slowly moves the pie, aims it at Toby, and slams him in the face with the pie. The pie makes a loud splat as it hits his face.

Everyone covers their mouths, stifling laughter, some gasps.

"Ready for it, guys?" I ask, everyone nodding together.

"GOTCHA!" We say in unison, pointing our fingers at Toby.

"What?! It was supposed to be JIM!" Toby says as he wipes some whipped cream off his face, then licks his fingers.

"Mmm.. Key lime, yum!"

"All right all right.. I got it.. But.. I pulled some pretty funny pranks on you guys today, didn't I eh?" He asks us, while laughing.

We all laugh along, nodding. "Yep you did, Toby!" Claire chuckles. "The confetti bomb was hilarious, actually"

"Yeah.. and great job gluing all of Blinky's books up in the ceiling!" I point upwards, everyone else pointing up too, laughing out loud.

"Yep, and Tobias, perhaps you would like to try another 'prank' that would really benefit us all?" Blinky walks up to Toby.

"Yeah! W-which one..?"

"It's a new one that I have recently invented- Called.. Oh yes, 'Cleaning Up'" He gestures to the books on the ceiling as an example.

Jim, Claire, and I exchange looks- sneaky looks.

"..Yeah and my house could really use this prank.." I suggest, the others nodding along, except Toby who didn't look too happy- he wasn't angry, well he didn't look to be..but he didn't look so amused, basically.

"Maybe my house could use some of that too, Tobes," Jim adds.

"My home would be better decorated and tidied up if you did that, too Toby!" Claire chimed in.

"I think that's a wonderful idea," Saraline gets in on the conversation. Everyone in the library gives Toby a sneaky look.

"All right, all right- Fine, fine, I'll get to cleaning.. Right away.." He goes to grab a bucket and other cleaning supplies.

"Hey, has anyone AARGH?" Jim asks. Everyone else looked around them, shrugging.

"I'm here," We hear his voice, which made us all kind of flinch, hearing him suddenly.

"Oh, there you are!"

"Hey, uh where were you?" I asked

"Taking. Nap." AARGH replies.

"Where's wingman?"

"Cleaning up his mess," I responded, gesturing to a cleaning Toby, scrubbing all the glue from the table.

"We've had a pretty freaky day, huh Trollhunters?" Jim asks us.

"Yes indeed!" "Mhm, yep" Everyone says.

"I got my hair burned, today, that's interesting." I point to my ash scattered hair.

"Whoa.." Jim gasps, lightly touches my burnt hair.

Claire tried to stop her giggling but soon proved contagious as Jim joined in the small chuckling, the Blinky, AARGH, and also Toby, turning into a whole laughing session.

Okay... I feel sorta pushy because I did send in a request about 10 minutes ago but I completely forgot to congratulate you on 200 followers! You deserve them all. Now, you don't have to do this but I'm really enjoying December Magic and I was wondering if you had any other seasonal headcanons about Maxwell Lord? Like... what's he like during Easter and Halloween etc, if you catch my drift? Okay coolio have a night day/night wherever you are!!! 💞

NOOO WAYY! THIS REQUEST IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS EVERRR :0 thank you for sending me this!! and im so glad you're enjoying December Magic!!! I know there's only three chapters out but I've had so much amazing feedback so far, it really spurs me on to write more. Hopefully I'm going to get the next chapter out tomorrow.

SEASONAL HEADCANONS [Maxwell Lord]

Christmas

Hehe, self promo alert! Read December Magic HERE !!! it’s a Max Lord series based around Christmas!

New Years

Hello!! You still gotta read December Magic if you want a taste of what he's like during New Year.

He has the same resolutions... every freaking year. He wants his business to make more money than ever before, he wants to be on the cover of Forbes and he wants to be announced sexiest man alive by People magazine.

He doesn't like fireworks. They're loud, and they irritate him. Maxwell Lord doesn't like anything he doesn't have control over.

Valentines

He doesn't really care. Sure he can get amazing sex, but he can get that any time of the year. The vday advertisments on television irk him so much. He doesn't celebrate it because he doesn't have anyone to celebrate it with. Until he meets you.

You lure him into enjoying Valentine's Day so much so it's something that he genuinely looks forward to every single year. His favourite thing to do is follow you to the lingerie store and watch you try on lacy undergarments for him. You inevitably buy wayyy too much but that's not really an issue for Maxwell. Oh, he likes to go to the back of the store too and pick out a few sex toys. At first he's shy about it... a little prude because he's in public but it doesn't take long for him to embrace it.

You told him over and over again he doesn't need to buy your affection with gifts. Eventually he understood, but Valentine's day becomes an exception to this rule. One thing is for sure; Max Lord never forgets. The pair of Louis Vuitton heels you mentioned at dinner three months ago? He's claimed them to give to you on vday. The pair of diamond earrings he caught you staring at in the mall? They're yours too. He spoils you.

April Fools

Fun fact! Maxwell Lord was actually born on April Fools Day. That's canon. Literally. Google it. He's an Aries. (and suddenly everything makes sense).

He doesn't pull pranks on people. If someone tries to pull a prank on him he loses his mind. Don't even try him. He's not one for practical jokes.

He doesn't like his birthday. He feels like he's getting old.

He doesn't care for the presents and gifts he receives. He already had everything he could ever want.

He loves birthday cake though.

Easter

What do you expect me to say for this, really? He's a middle aged man and he doesn't see his kids. He's not gonna dress up as a white bunny and hop around the garden plotting an egg hunt.

Even when you and Maxwell have kids; he still doesn't care.

You propose the idea of doing something to celebrate Easter but he just huffs and grunts about it.

If his kids want an egg made from solid gold though, they'd get it.

Thankfully his kids just want a Reese's Pieces egg.

Halloween

He hates it. He hates the kids knocking at his door, trick or treating. He won't get dressed up. He gets scared easily. He doesn't like horror movies? What's the point?

You just about persuade him to go to his office Halloween party. The theme is fancy dress. You assure him though, that he doesn't need to dress up. He'll scare his employees just by showing up.

Thanksgiving

Maxwell Lord has the world in his hands. He has money, fortune, fame, and everything he could possibly want (materialistic wise...)— you'd think that Thanksgiving would be his time to reflect on his privilege.

But no, not really.

His heart isn't made from complete stone though. Every year, during the week of Thanksgiving, there is an increase of charity galas hosted by Maxwell Lord. He does like to give what he can back. He does like to help others (but that might just be coming from his superiority complex).

Toons For Our Times: The Loud House: Strife of The Party/ Kernel of Truth

Lana plans her and Lola’s party with copius amonts of dirt and garabage while Lola tries sabotaging it and I struggle to figure out which one we’re supposed to be rooting for exactly.  Meanwhile Lincoln and Co find an abandoned news room and attempt to start their own news show with the immediate threat of cancelation hanging over their heads. You know like most shows on nick. Also Rusty gets hurt a lot which automatically makes this a winner. News Team Assemble, under the cut. 

Well this week was a mixed bag.. which granted could apply to this week as a whole but I meant it specifically for this episodes. Like last week one of them is a true classic that uses the series new status quo to create something intresting, and the other... is the worst episode i’ve reviwed so far. Yes not even one week and the show managed to go from having a boring episode to having a truly odious one. Both metaphorcially and literally as there’s a lot of grossout gags this time around. And unfortuantely since i’ts first in the pairing and the airing, I have to talk about it first. Pitter Patter, let’s get this over with. 

Strife of the Party I”m not exaggerating either. I admit I was hard on Schooled! and Family Bonding, but the former sitll had some good content and the latter was .. well it’s still a boring lazy retread with a bonkers ending, but I admitted to having seen worse. But “I’ve seen worse” is never the best defense. I’ll admit usually I avoided the worse episodes of the loud house. I haven’t seen some of the more infamous episodes of the show like “No Such Luck” or “Kings of the Con”.. because as just a viewer I could skip an episode if it sounded like toilet dinner. Sure i’ve still ran into them: “Study Muffin” was just eh when it aired but now both post me too and post chris savino being rightfully fired for being a harassing dickweasel thanks to said movement, it’s realy fucking creepy, has Lori at her worst (Actively trying to cheat on bobby), and .. I have no third thing. All we really got out of it was Lynn Sr’s obsession with the British. And “The Green House”’s reputation proceeds it and there’s a reason I couldn’t finish it. Point is i’ve been lucky to only step in a few cowpies in the field of this show, and now i’m watching it as it comes out i’m accepting the hard truth that with the show’s hit and miss quality, i’m going to have to go panning in shit creek some weeks if I want to find the nuggets of gold.  Now I will grant this episode doesn’t sound NEARLY as bad as “No Such Luck”.. but as opus would say....

Exactly my Pengy pal. Again not being worse than the worst episode of the show, still dosen’t make you a good episode. It just makes you marginally less terrible. It’s like saying Creed isn’t as bad as Nickelback. While tha’ts true they both still sound terrible, it’s just playing Creed isn’t a warcrime in some countries. And yes I just compared two episodes of a children’s show to bands my audience thankfully likely weren’t aware ever existed, I don’t care. If you haven’t left my blog running and screaming your either new here or tolerate me being an obscure weirdo.  

Before we get in proper, I haven’t covered the twins yet so let’s do that quick. I haven’t really watched a ton of Lola and Lana’s episodes, their not bad characters htey just don’t intrest me much as i’ve seen their gimmicks a lot, but I will say lola’s slightly better and I will say I like Lana more when she’s doing animal antics instead of grossout. Not terirble characters and their acted well, just not my cup of tea is all. Okay enough stalling , pitter patter!

We open with Lola planning the twins upcoming birthday and talking to her stuffed animals which is cute and all.. before a POSSUM CHESTBURSTS OUT OF LOLA’S UNICORN DOLL. 

The.. the fuck. Look i’m all for scaring the crap out of kids in children’s entertainment. I loved Courage the Cowardly dog as a kid and as a grown ass man writing about children’s entertainment. I love the lich from adventure time, i’m okay with scaring kids. But this is just.. a bit too realistic. Yes really. While  doll that size probably can’t fit a possum it could sure fit something else and i’ve seen stuffed animals big enough for a posssum, so yeah.. this could actually happen to one of my nieces and that thought terrifies me. It happening to me also terrifies me but I’m a grown man not a small child who’d be scarred for life. Christ.  The episode does get better, for a second I didn’t bitch for a few paragraphs for nothing. Lana comes in, claims the demon possum, and tells Lola she’ll fix the doll. Uh Lana i’m not sure she wants it back.. you’d be better off burning it and setting the possum free in a republican center’s home where it belongs. 

Anyways Lana has a good point, Lola’s been plannig their parties ‘since before they were born”.. literally as the image above shows which is just.. fucking amazing. I cannot belivie they got to go there and it’s glorious they did. I can’t think of many, if any, other chlidren’s cartoons that showed a fetus on screen so kudos. 

But yeah that was the one good moment of the episode. Next our twins go to a party suply store where Lola, clearly knowing the host well because these kids have connections, has her stash all the poop colored stuff away... which backfires as lana instead goes to the garbage for party favors and decorations. It fails to get better: Next they go to a bakery where Lana makes her own literal garbage cake and then go to flips for entertainment i.e. a bull. NOw i’ll grant both stops have good bits: The cake store guy asks if Lana’s a cop when she asks for grime and Flip has them sign a waver for the bull. And the bull being lana’s idea of entertainment makes sense.. but overal it just comes off as gross and mean spirited. I mean yes Lola’s about to do some terrible stuff herself and yes Lola ouvershadowed lana.. but she dosen’t deserve this abuse and none of this is healthy or tolerbale for.. well anyone, and could get the Loud Parents in serious trouble, which also leaves the obvious plot hole of “why don’t they step in in either situation. “ 

The episode would’ve made more snese if Lana went to them to get them to let her host the party and their guilt over letting Lola always do it means they don't’ reign her in despite wanting to. Instead their just.. there at the end for a great bit we’ll get to. It’s always the bad episodes that paint the loud parents as terrible parents honestly. No Suck Luck had them cast their son out into the cold over nonsense, On Thin Ice had Lynn Sr decide forcing his children to embarass themselves was more important than teaching one of them that maybe sometimes you don’t always get to force your family to obey your whims for dumb reasons, and the april fools eps have Lynn Sr so terrified of pranking retribution instead of you know.. GROUNDING Luann for going full joker on their asses. IN most episodes their kind and reasonable but it’s always the bad ones where they instead make Homer Simpson look like a good parent. 

But yeah my rant aside the episode COULD work if Lola, encouraged by one of her other siblings, Luann would be a good bet as she could easily slide into the party setting when appropriate without being too distracting, realizes she’s been selfish and tries to hold her tounge for lana’s sake. Maybe then she tries sabotage.. or better she DOSEN’T, but both of them realize something; Lola realizes she’s been doing this to lana their whole lives by forcing her into a party she doesn’t  like so LOLA can be happy while Lana realizes she’s being no better. Hell even if Lola did complain, which is in character, this plot woudl still work. instead.. Lana is just as bad as Lola while Lola is still pretty terrible.  See the big problem is that NEITHER girl is likeable. As I’ve made clear Lana pushes a gross, dangerous party on her sister she clearly doesn’t like, and Lola, instead of trying tot alk to her parents or get Lana to tone it down.. tries to guide her to what she wants, then when that fails sabotages the party, makes it so Lana has nothing and gets her party. Both sides are being really bad, but instead of them realizing this, lana is treated as the one we should be sympathetic to when she gets mad when she finds out about Lola even though NEITHER of them are sympathetic or likeable and deserve to win 100%. But Lana does, lana gets her way, Lola apologizes and hte paradigm just shifts from one sibling being unhappy to another. We do get that one gag I talked about where when lola goes to make things right she has Lynn Sr stall and he pulls out a cowbell “You thought I wasn’t going to need this”. No bud, Rita HOPE you wouldn’t need this. There’s a difference. Thank god it’s the end. 

Final Thoughts for Strife of the Party: They should be obvious but to be clear this is hippo excrement. i’ts not funny, it makes both it’s leads look bad, the parents look worse by inaction and  just isn’t pleasant ot watch. I do GET the show has a young audience, and they like grossout, I get i’m not the target demographic, so I probably would just be okay with a good version of this episode.. but even with that in mind both twins come off so unlikeable it’s just not fun to watch or to see Lana win as she didn’t feel like she earned it. It’s bad and it should feel bad, and i’ts the first truly odious episode i’ve had for weekly coverage. I’ve had okay or eh ones, but this one is truly bad and belongs in the pantheon of bad loud house episodes.. or at least in the honrable mentions. Good gravy this blew. 

Kernel of Truth

Okay now we’ve panned the gold nugget out of the crap creek, we can get on with the GOOD episode this week. I was excited for this one.. I was excited for both actually, even not being a huge fan of the twins I liked the idea of a loud birthday but as we just saw,.. didn’t work out so good. But this one while I thought it would just be average, promised another lincrew shenanigan and I like most of those i’ve seen, and plus I knew it’d allow me to refrence anchorman a bunch so i was llike :Fuck it let’s go”.. and this one ended up being REALLY damn good and probably one of the best episodes with this group i’ve seen, right up there with “Be Stella My Heart.” I’ts good stuff. But before we get into it you probably noticed my ranting about girl jordan but turns out, while I haven’t watched that episode, she’s in the sand field trip episode from last season hanging out with stella so I have an answer to if they forgot abotu her, they didn’t they just need to use her more, and a new ship so i’m satisfied and I apologize for bitching about it. Next time i’ll just check the wiki and see before I bitch about something. ON with the review. 

We open with our motely crew searching for a hidden Game Room rusty’s cousin claims exists, with Stellas as lookout and the guys.. er all in stacks that make it look like their doing a team up move from donkey kong country 2? 

I mean I have been playing the game a lot since it came to switch online, seriously if you have the service go play it, but i’m not hte only one seeing this right? Right.  So yeah the kid stack fails and Zach doubts Rusty’s story.. because when has rusty ever been right.. well apparently just this one time, but we’ll get to that. They even checked the boiler room. 

And then promptly vowed never to go back to the boiler room while Principal RAmierz just sighed at having to deal with a freddy kruger infestation again. They loose more children that way and the school board JUST got him out of the high school.  Liam also gets the line of the episodes when he calls the group “Fellas and Stellas” Which is just objectively amazing and needs to be used every time this group appares from now o. Luckily= Stella noticed another closed door, this one taped off instead of just with a keep out sign and the Fellas and Stellas make their way inside and find themselves in.. a news room! But it’s nto a fox news room so it actually had news in it once and not Tucker Carlson, the answer to what happens to an 80′s or 90′s yuppie scumbag villian after they fail to get the orphange paved over for condos

Anyway, our heroes alll ohhh and all while Zach thinks this is where children are harvested. Nah Zach they just call them up on the pa system.

So everyone does what’s natural to them: Zach and Liam inspect the cameras, Stella looks at the old mic because she’s a natural for being an on camera personality and Rusty.. oggles an old group shot of the news team. You know I may not hate him with the hatred of a hundred suns, but he’s still objectively the worst. Zach gets mad at him over it because “That’s my mom”. Rusty defends himself by calling her hot and while th. no please god no dont’ talk about women like that you creepy little weatherbeaten Chucky doll that somehow became a real boy, or had dustin diamond transfer his soul into it befrore he died. Either is possible. The point is Ewww. The other point is while Rusty’s being his usual living proof of while he’ll die alone Zach has no right to get upset , AT FIRST because how the hell would Rusty know that’s hsi mom. You two have the combined braincell of a dead feret. Stella is the only one out of all 6 of you evenmy boy liam who has more than one brain cell. This argument is stupid and I hate you both,  just settle things in the most humane way possible.. or at least THIS is what I consider the most humane way possible. 

So while those two are being as stupid as expected, Lincoln suggets fixing the place and becoming the new school news crew. I mean they’d need new equipment since even if the stuff there still works’ it’s all worn out 80′s tech none of you know how to use but given their seen with a modern camera later int he episode, I assume they just sold this off and got new cameras. Even if the show flopped, more on that in a minute, the principal could still use those for other projects so it’s a win win. Stella Zhau agrees.. and FINALLY has a last name. Like holy shit i’ve been waiting a full season for this and it feels like that bit was JUST to give her a last name. Now they just need to do Liam but still, I needed this one more. Plus it also means we can now firmly say she’s chinese. Neat!

So after that blockbuster reveal Stella wonders where Rusty is, because fuck if I know, and they all find him continuing to oggle zach’s mom at their age....

Zach snatches it away and crumples up understandably annoyed. Rusty’s response is about what you’d expect. 

So once Liam’s done throwing that calender into the school furnace, and saying hi to freddy as he passes the boiler on the way, our team heads to the principal to plead their case. They run into Meryl, the identical in personality, plot function and apperance outside of wearing pink instead of yellow to Cheryl, the receptionest at the elementary school who I really liked and it’s a clever way to keep the character at both schools and pays off the runnig gag of Cheryl asking liincoln or clyde who looks better her or her sister by having said sister show up and ask the same. Good stuff. 

Meryl ends up agreeing to let them go see the wizard, I mean Principal Rameriz, because her soap is on. Also clyde’s a fan to his friends blank stares. Come on guys he watches romance movies, of course he’s going to love drama shows, even the non teen ones. I now imagine he joins the loud sisters on their riverdale nights. Riverdale the clusterfuck that has something for all of them: Teen drama and shirtless hunks for Lori and Leni, Music and scantly clad “teens’ of both genders and neither gender for Luna, something to laugh at for Luann who probably loves mst3king stuff, and violence for Lucy.. dosen’t seem like it’d be Lynn’s thing honestly but I rest my case. Also the rest of the sisters are too young but the parents figure Lucy’s desentised enough to violence and blind enough to sex to make an exception. 

Now that fun headcanons out of the way our heroes pitch the principal whose skeptical, as the 80′s news show ended because it was boring, much like why that 80′s show ended. That and it was a bunch of 80′s pop culture refrences strung together. I do have a minor nitpick that it seems odd a school room would be in disuse for this long, but given the Principal has apparently spent years looking for aformetioned game room as we find out in the end, the school blueprints are apparnelty lost to the ages or if they exist are some sort of ancient treasure map buried beneath the school drawn in blood by an old witch. I mean this universe has cherry hating peach loving spies now, i’ not ruling anything out. 

But our heroes beg them: Clyde has journalism experince on the school paper, Stella has the dedication and heart and Rusty .. thinks people need to see his face on camera. Rusty as far as we know your face functions like the vdieo from the ring and everyone in school is going to die 7 days after seeing it on film. That’s my theroy and i’m sticking to it. Thankfully everyone else is just as annoyed with him as me for once, and we get the glorious shot above of everyone just looking.. done with his antics and wondering why they keep him around. Finally for once I agree iwth the characters on something rusty related. Let’s show that agian. 

Poetry. You can just feel the levels of “So done with this crap” seeping from every poor.. except for Poor Lincoln who just wishes his best friends and rusty woudl stop using him as furniture, and Liam whose covered but probably very much on team “Rusty Stop Being Yourself your blowing this for us”. They even have an action news pose.. which is botha dorable and breaks the principal’s bust of herself, so she relucntantly agrees to get them out of there. Plus as I said there’s really no loss for her here. If their sucessful the school gets a new elective, something to put on the tv’s every morning, a way to do announcments so she dosen’t have to, and free good publicity for her next bonus. If not.. then she has somehwere to store her new cameras she can use for other stuff, and come up with something else to do with the media lab. Either way she wins. Plus iwth phones and stuff noawaydays they only need the one new camera.  Okay before we move on confession time: I was on a school tv news show’s crew myself. Not in middle school, we werne’te that lucky but in high school we had video media, an elective where seniors edited news segments and what not for the school’s WhamTV program. I hope i’ts still around honestly. I started on a field crew doing stories but my awkardenss and a blow up at my partner where my awkward rage prone ass threatned him by accident, got me bumped to doing credits.. which I genuinely loved. I got to something fun, creative and unique, I was still part of hte intros every week, and I got plenty of time to goof off and watch videos. It’s how I found channel awesome and first got to watch atop the fourth wall since it wasn’t on youtube back then, back before you know, it turned out Doug was abusing all of them and younger me was just unaware of it. But it was still good times so this episode does feel a bit nostalgic for me. But enough teary eyed reminciings of ten years ago, back to the plot. Our heroes air their newscast. It’s the Middle School Action News with with your Anchors Lincoln Loud and Clyde McBride, Stella Zhao in the field, Rusty Spokes on Sports for.. some reason, Cameraman Liam Wedon’tknowhislastname and Zach Gurdle somewhere out of the way. Middle School Action News, always on, always free.. no wiat tha’ts pluto. Middle School Action News, Taste the rainbow. Middle School Action News.. The Good Guys Always Win, Even in The 80′s. Yeah that’ll do! 

But yeah while our heroes try their best, and to their credit this does feel like a middle school news show. The writers not our heroes. Anyways Lincoln and Clyde banter and we get our first segment Stella trying to interview mr. Bohlmer about his birthday.. which goes about as well as doing anything for him on ron swansons’ birthday. 

Next we have Rusty on sports.. which I questioned when I first say this but as obonxious as Rusty can be.. yeah this is the best place to have him. Stella has the drive and the talent to be their field reporter, Clyde and Lincoln have a lifelong report that does well for the desk, Liam is nice and patient enough for camera work, and Zach is a paranoid weirdo so he probably has experince editing since thats where I assume where he is since htey ddon’t do weather and even if they did Liam’s just not the right shade of oblivoiusly nuts. 

I do however at least get why they keep him around as Rusty needs someone to get fed up with him.. but as the above moment showed Clyde and Stella can do that easily, as can Lincoln, so he really has no functional purpose other than as a B-Grade dale gribble. ANd I know kids don’t know who that is but they frankly deserve better. Seriously Zach...

Okay getting back to the segement. For starters Rusty does a breath spray first.. but suprisingly despite interviewing a lady, specifically Lynn, he DOSEN’T hit on her and is actually professional and manages to get a quote despite her disintrest. LIke I know it’s the bare minimum but you’ve met rusty right? the Bare Minimum is hard for him to grasp. Earlier this episode he was oggling old pictures of his friends mom and saying he should take it as a compliment which, Hard No. So the fact hours later he’s talking to a woman without radiating creep after that is an achivment. For him and him alone mind you, most kids should know better. But still I may be hard on the kid, because DAMN is it fun and damn if he dosen’t give me plenty of joke fodder, but I will give him credit even if it’s the bare minmum. Good job rust you passed the very basic plateau of human decency. 

Stella wraps things up with a look at the cafteria that’s about what you’d expect from a kids cartoon, shoe int he beans etc. Unfortuantley bean shoes, sportz and angry assholes aren’t enough to float the show and the principal is ready to can it.  On hte bright side they have their first lawsuit from Mr. Bohlmer. I mean John Olvier idnd’t start getting sued by dickheads with no real case till he was 30, nicely done kids. And it’s not even why, it’s just boring and the kids aren’t enjoying it. So Stella, being again the one with her own brain cells here, proposes to let them find a big story, and Ramirez reluctantly but graciously agrees. And that’s why I like her so far. Don’t get me wrong having Steven Tobolowsky as principal was great, but I like Rameriz better: she’s smart, weary of the crap she puts up with and tough but fair.. which is a cliche btu fits here: She’ll be honest with her kids but will give them an honest chance and sees our news team really doees want this bad and her giving htem one more day to find something actally intresting is more than fair.  So our heroes spitball about what to do for news. LIam suggests alien because again he has about one character trait, so everyone tells him for hte last time no. I mean it isn’t much worse than his last suggestion. 

So once agian it’s RUSTY who saves the day, bringing in beet snacks.. which he tries to get them not to stone him over over the fact the popcorn was all gone.. which okay 1) I get the show’s tring to be healthy so maybe ther’es not chips, but I have a hard time buying that there’s no Chez Its, snack packs or other goodies between “Popcorn’ and “something with beetz that only two men would eat” For the record those two men are Dwight Schrute, for obvious reasons, and this guy my boy Tony Chu. 

I highly recommend this comic, Chew for the record, to anyone. Just.. anyone whose not a children it gets voilent, but it is sublime. We’re not here for that, but I thought i’d plug it. It also has a spinoff currently running, Chu, following his criminal sister. Also real good and dosen’t really spoil anything for hte main series thus far so you can hop in there instead. Either way your in for a ride.  Back on topic, while Rusty failed with snacks he actually brings up a good point: The popcorn isn’t just gone because it’s late in the school day, but because as the kids notice, it’s just missing in general despite the trucks arriving. They have their story and head out to investigate.  And suprisingly, unlike last week’s investigation they find something: A mysterious hooded figure bribing the driver for popcorn, and taking it off somewhere. They fail to catch her, as Rusty dives over her telling Liam to “Make sure you get this”.. he instead gets a shrub and video of him attacking a shrub. I’ts a good runner and shows the writers are leanring to use Rusty better.  They take the footage to the principal, who is impresssed, but states they need to find out who dun it for the story to be complete which is fair enough. They stalk out the nexxt delivery time later that night, but find the drivers have been switched and the mystery person has fled to canada. Rusty once again tries catching her and fall sin the water. Liam once again responds with a cheerful “Don’t worry rusty I got it”.. okay this dynamic is honestly better than him and Zach: Cheerful oblivious Liam and scheming dumbass rusty. Why isn’t THIS the “Those Two Guys” dynamic in the group, honestly. 

Anyways Lincoln is dispondent the next day as iwth no leads, they have no programa nd prepares to do a spider-man no more with his anchorsuit.. which okay 1) you can use that for other things man. Peter Parker can’t really use a spider-man suit for anything but spider-manning but you can use that suit for dates and dances and stuff. and 2).. whya re he and the clyde the only ones with outfits? I mean.. it’s clear from this episode there will be more school news stories nad it just looks weird that they get to play dressup in suits but the rest of the crew isn’t. Liam at leat is working the camera and Zach is Zach but rusty and Stella are field reporters. Field reporters, while not always, usually get nice suits too guys. 

ANyways Lincoln finds something in the garbage. And not his sister this time, as Lana oscar the grouched it up lat episode in sadness. Which to be fair will be her future career mark my words. At least I think that’s a career. Anyways, our heros find a ferry ticket meaning whoever fled to Canada is in the building. They trail some popcorn from the ticket to the locked door from earlier, which Rusty, finishing the rule of three, tries knocking it down hwile Liam gets it. Stella, again proving to be the real hero of this tale, uses her hair as a lockpick. Is.. is there anythign this child can’t do? She and Marcy should swap notes sometime damn. 

And the culprit is MERYL! She was using the popcorn for insulation to get a quite room to herself and begs the kids not to tell which. is the weaker part of the episode> We don’t have the investment in Meryl we do in Cheryl, and she did you know.. steal school property.. or at least buy it off under the table. But the kids being the sweet kids they are understandably, schemes or not don’t want her  to loose her job, and agree to not tell on her even if they loose their show. And to their creid and what keeps this from sinking the episode Meryl is genuinely greatful for this gesture, and gives them the scoop.  And as i’ve been mentioning turns out RUSTY WAS RIGHT. Yes Rusty. That Rusty. Was Right about something. The Game Room exists. They find it thorugh a hidden locker entrance and unlock it from the inside, with af lodo of viewers coming in. Granted at first I didn’t know why Meryl didn’t just use this room but then I thought “Oh yeah she’s a full grown adult and can’t fit in the entrance and i’m assuming it was locked from the other side to the rest of the school”. So the kids have a new hangout and as the principal joins them, they havea  show! Turns out she’d been looking for this place for years.. and doesn’t turn it into something else. What a legend. She plays Air Hockey with Meryl, is there something going on there or are my shipping goggles acting up.. probably both. Anyways our heroes have genuine thanks, a fun new hangout at school, their own headquarters and their own news show. It’s a heck of a day but it’s no time to rest as Rusty tells them he has another tip and i’ts off... to pick up a broom to sweep up the gumball machine they knock over.. THEN they can go find the hot tub for the teachers lounge. 

Final Thoughts:  OH me mow, this was a great one. For one the main complaint I had I mentioned at Schooled! of it not feeling like Lincoln’s friends were given enough personality sometimes? Gone enitrely. Everyone except Clyde and Zach get a moment and Clyde is still fully present and has gotten several focus episodes at this point, while Zach again should just leave already. But the rest of them? All on form. Stella continues to prove her competence, energy and adorability, Rusty is not only actually useful for once but was actually really funny his episode. The gag with Zach’s mom was actually pretty hilarious, my jabs at him aside, and the runner of him trying to do some epic stunt, telling Liam to film it and then humiliating himself while his pal cheerfully tells him he got it is just great and Lincoln’s Spider-Man no more moment with his suit was both said and kinda funny and I love him and Clyde’s reporter outfits. It’s why I wanted everyone to have them, especially since this will be a recurring theme and looks to be a fun one. It was fun, creative, and took me back a decade. It was a REALLY damn good one and I’m glad I watched this one first, a true highlight of the series and a true good sign that the season can, even with some hiccups, will apparnetly have some REALLY great episodes on average even with the weaker ones.  That’s it for this week... and somehow for loud house coverage as, for now, their doesn’t’t seem to be any new episodes in October, but that could change. Until then, follow this blog every Monday for regular ducktales coverage and come back in October for more loud house, more the Casagrandes  and some spooky spooky fun Until then, Go team venture.

Mystic Messenger Zen's Birthday Tweets Translation

(Starts from the very bottom)

Hello~ I came back for my birthday. Don't say that you forgot about me! Will you remember if I say the TOP MOST FAMOUS SUPERSTAR ZEN? I'm curious how my ladies have been spending their days. What's the news~?

Since it's my birthday today, I'm planning to take a rest and go out to watch a musical. I get touched when I see another actor performing in the stage! Hmm.. how about my ladies? Did you have any moments that put a fire in your heart? If not, then I'll let you see one of my pictorials. Be careful not to burn your heart into ash!

It was a horrible fine dust level few days ago. I heard that the particles even permeate into your skin;; Since it would be a national disaster if my skin, perfect as the surface of a ceramic, would be damaged, I'll put on a special face mask tonight. My ladies, make sure to take care of your skin! Don't forget to put on your masks.

You know, since my birthday is exactly the same day as April Fools Day there are a lot of people who play pranks on me (especially SOMEONE in RFA who I won't specify now^^) But to those who sincerely congratulated my birthday!!! I give you big thank yous!! I was very touched! I'm sorry that I can't reply to every single one of youㅠ But I do read all of them and embed them deep in my heart!

I see that my company is running a hashtag event! #ZEN_생일축하 I welcome all besides Jumin... I see some of you send me jokes~ but I accept all of them because I know that those are full of love.

Too bad but I have to go nowㅠ Take care of your health especially in the change of seasons. I'll be so sad.. if you guys are sick. And one thing that I always stress! Keep up with an organized diet! You know,right?hehe. It was a short time but I had fun! See ya^^
