#I still want to punch harold

[disasterarea-podcast]

So given the writer’s strike, some people are concerned about their shows and movies being postponed or canceled, and aside from the fact networks have already BEEN canceling shows for no reason for years (I still maintain a healthy anger about what Netflix did to Sense8), I thought I would suggest some books on disasters you might want to read if you’re into that sort of history. Which you are if you’re here, I imagine.

Note: I’m suggesting these books because most books on disasters don’t get a huge audience, and so I recommend them because this sort of writing can be hard on the writer and requires a bunch of research. We throw so much money at true crime, we can spare a few bucks for the stories of people who died in disasters.

Also, please check with these with your local small bookstore or library. Amazon can be great, but let’s lend a hand to those who need us more.

Recommended books:

“The Circus Fire,” by Stewart O’Nan - This is one my favorite books on a disaster, because the whole thing creates a very vivid image of the circus prior to the fire in Hartford in July of 1944. There’s one specific line in the book which always makes me pause because it’s so affecting, about how everyone who escaped being able to hear the sounds of the animals screaming as they died - except all of the animals were out of the tent by then.

“The Only Plane in the Sky,” by Garrett Graff - This, I highly recommend you get on audiobook. It’s an oral history of the events of 9/11 with a full cast, and it’s incredibly affecting to listen to.

“Ada Blackjack: A True Story of Survival in the Arctic,” by Jennifer Niven - Ada Blackjack was a badass: flawed and weak at times, but hardy and steady when necessary. Half of her story is how she survived, but half is how she was exploited following her rescue. Both stories need to be known.

“Alive,” by Piers Paul Read - If you’re watching “Yellowjackets,” this should be required reading. If you’ve seen the movie adaptation from the 90s, there is WAY more you don’t know. The story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 is a tough read, but a worthy one.

“A Night to Remember,” by Walter Lord - This is to disaster nonfiction what “In Cold Blood” is to true crime. It’s not a long read, but it’s a great one. Lord had the advantage of writing the book while many of the Titanic survivors were still alive and could give a very good description of what they went through.

“Dying to Cross,” by Jorge Ramos - I recommend this not just because it is good, but because it is timely. Nineteen people died in an un-air-conditioned truck as they were attempting to make their way into the states from over the Mexican border. It’s a horrific story, and one that humanizes an issue for whom some people need to be faced with the humans involved and what they go through.

“Bath Massacre: America’s First School Bombing,” by Arnie Bernstein - Harold Schecter also wrote a very good book on the Bath school massacre called “Maniac,” but I have a preference for this version. It’s a good reminder that schools in the U.S. didn’t just become targets in the last twenty years or so.

“Into Thin Air,” by Jon Krakauer - I feel like this is a gimme, but it’s a fantastic book from someone who was actually on Mount Everest during the 1996 disaster and knew those involved very well. I happen to like Krakauer’s work anyway - I even like “Into the Wild” despite my feelings about McCandless and his legacy - but it’s understandably my favorite.

“And the Band Played On,” by Randy Shilts - The one thing I will say is that Shilts’ treatment of Gaetan Dugas is *rough* to say the least and outright wrong on some points, God knows. But it’s still an amazing book, and if you come out of it not wanting to dig up Reagan and punch him a bunch I’m impressed at your restraint.

“Triangle: The Fire That Changed America,” by David von Drehle - The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire is one of the disasters I am most interested in, and I would argue this is the definitive book on the subject. Also, if this book introduces you to both Clara Lemlich and Frances Perkins … I mean, talk about badass women.

“The Radium Girls,” by Kate Moore - Look, I’ll say this. If you know of the Radium Girls, this is a great book on their story. If you don’t know, go in blind and prepared to be horrified.

“Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine,” by Anne Applebaum - Ukraine has always been a target. During the Holodomor, they were victims of one of the worst genocides in history.

“Midnight in Chernobyl,” by Adam Higginbotham - Like the miniseries? This is a great source for more information for what happened at Chernobyl and all of the ass-covering involved.

"Boston Strong: A City's Triumph Over Tragedy," by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge - If you’re interested in the Boston marathon bombing, I really thought this book did a good job of connecting the stories of the victims, the authorities searching for the killers, and the killers themselves.

“Show Me the Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Tower,” by Peter Apps - As I understand it, Apps did a lot of covering the Grenfell Tower fire for the British press, and it shows. He provides a mountain of information, and you will come out of reading this book absolutely LIVID about what authorities allowed to happen in Grenfell and so many other council estates in the UK.

“Dark Tide: The Great Molasses Flood of 1919,” by Stephen Puleo - I feel as though the molasses flood gets treated like a joke a lot of the time, but y’all, twenty people died. That area of Boston was *wrecked*. The photos of the devastation are terrifying. Puleo treats all of this with the proper respect it deserves.

“In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex,” by Nathaniel Philbrick - Forget the movie. Read the book.

“The Great Influenza,” by John M. Barry - Want to read about the 1918 flu epidemic? Want to be mad that a hundred years later we didn’t learn a damn thing?

Now, that’s just a start. If anyone wants, I can always post photos of my disaster book collection on Kindle and next to my recording desk. Or if there’s a specific disaster you’re interested in, I may know of a good book about it you can read.

But just remember if SAG and the directors’ guild joins the strike too - there is so much out there to occupy your time until they come back. Entertainment work is work, and it deserves to be supported financially and fairly as such. Rock on, WGA. ✊

“TDA but with Zeke” is slowy turning into me rewritting Action to be a little more coherent bc i slowly realized this season is written strangely. Some more info about this au; Zeke is on the Screaming Gaffers bc i want him to interact with more characters then just Beth and Lindsay, AND i love the possible friendship between him and Harold (also hes just picked last)

- he’s still very naive about things and real world terms/sayings but he’s more involved in challneges, almost to a fault, to make up for and prove himself to the team. Even when he’s entirely clueless when it comes to movies and movie genres. Zeke’s main goal is to redeem himself after all.

- Zeke, much like Owen, has a very obvious crush on Justin but instead of as a joke, it’s plot related (has to do with Beth and Lindsay no longer being charmed by him and Justin realizing “oh wait, Zeke still is, let’s use this.”) also bc i’m gay and i want Zeke to be gay too.

- Duncan full on starts bullying both Zeke and Harold as soon as possible, like it’s nuts how fast he was just like “ah yes a new punching bag.” it’s Harold’s bullying but more verbal insults, like Duncan, dude, chill.

- he is just,, a little guy, he is the Gaffers resident lil’ guy, and they grow to really like him, he’s their little skrimblo guy

that’s all i got so far, i have more ideas but i’ll save those for future posts.

Chapter Two-Too Bad the Sandman Isn't Here (The Big Sleep)

It was just another ordinary morning like any other for the campers in Camp Wawanawkwa.

Where they are all in their cabins, still asleep in their little dreams. However, when they hear the sound of an air horn going off in front of a megaphone, startling them all awake. All but two girls, Lucy and Marinette. As the two woke up, Lucy stretched her arms and lets out a yawn like a kitten would after taking a nap.

After they both got dressed and walked out of their side of the cabin, they looked to see everyone was already outside. "Glad you two can join us, girls," Chris said. He then continues talking to the rest of the still, tired campers. "Okay, now that everyone's here, I hope you're all ready because your next challenge begins in exactly one minute." "Oh, excuse me, I don't know if that's enough time to eat breakfast," said Owen. "Oh, you'll get breakfast, Owen." Chris said, "Right after you complete your twenty-kilometer run, around the lake."

"Oh, so you're funny now?" Eva questioned, not liking Chris's motives, and started marching towards him with her left hand formed into a fist, ready to punch a man to a bloody pulp. "You know what I think would be funny-" Before Eva can do anything, she is pulled back by Geoff and Duncan. "Eva, try to control your temper?" Courtney whispered to her. Eva then turns to Chris again. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?" she asked. "A little," Chris admits. "You have thirty seconds."

CONFESSIONAL: COURTNEY

"Okay, that girl, Eva, has got to get a handle on her temper. She's only been here one day, and she's already thrown her suitcase out a window and broken the lock on one of the bathroom doors."

After that, they already started to prepare for their kilometer run. "Okay, runners! On your marks, get set, go!" with that, they all started running. All but Marinette and Lucy.

CONFESSIONAL: LUCY

"Nettie and I were a bit suspicious about us awake so early and are told to do a run around a lake."

CONFESSIONAL: MARINETTE

"As a result, Lucy and I decided to walk instead. That way, we can see what this challenge is."

As Marinette and Lucy walked around the lake, Harold started to break the ice, asking one question. "Do you know how much longer?" he asked. "Not sure. But you have to admit, it is nice to head out and get some fresh air now and then," said Marinette. "Still true," Lucy added.

"Pick it up, people!" Chris said in a megaphone. "If you're not back by dinnertime, you don't eat!" After a while of walking, they made it back to the main lodge. And Owen slams the door open. "Clear a table, stat!" he exclaimed. As Lucy and Marinette walked to their table, Gwen started to talk, "Hey, wait a minute, if they lost, that means we won the challenge." she said. As most of the Screaming Gophers cheer for their victory, Chris stops them. "Whoa there! Hold your horses, guys. That wasn't the challenge." he said. "What did you just say?" asked Gwen.

"Who's hungry?" there, they all see a table full of home-cooked food.

CONFESSIONAL: GWEN

"After a whole week of brown sludge, I almost cried when I saw that buffet."

CONFESSIONAL: MARINETTE

"I must admit, the buffet table looked amazing. However, since there were still suspicions about the running and the buffet, I decided to stick with something light. Such as a bread roll and maybe some of the salad."

CONFESSIONAL: LUCY

"As much as I want to enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal as if it was home if my hunch is correct, I'm just going to do the right thing and stick to the salad."

Marinette finishes eating her bread roll as she and Lucy see the others finished stuffing themselves with what was left on the buffet table. 'Boy, they sure ate a lot. And here I thought Mister Criminally-Insane-Though was the master of eating a lot and still having a built figure.' Lucy thought jokingly and quietly snickered to her little self-joke. Chris then jumps on the table with a megaphone in hand. "Okay, campers! Time for part two of your challenge," he said. "I thought eating was the second part," said Owen.

"What more do you want from us?" "Weird goth girl is right. Haven't we been through enough?" asked Heather. "Um, let me think about that. No! It's time for the Awake-a-thon!" Chris announced. "The what-a-thon?" Owen asked. "Hm. I'm not surprised." Lucy said, crossing her arms, and Marinette nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, this is an easy one. The team with the last camper standing wins invincibility." "So what you're saying is the 20k run and the turkey-eating frenzy were part of your evil plan to make it harder for us to stay awake?" asked Gwen. "That's right, Gwen." "Man, he's good."

After Chris told them to move, everyone started heading out of the main lodge to the campsite to start the Awake-a-thon. "So, how long do you think it'll be before everyone's out cold?" Trent asked Gwen, Lucy, and Marinette. "About an hour, give or take," Gwen said, giving Trent her answer. As they see Owen walking past them, looking as if he is going to pass out at any second, Gwen added, "Maybe less."

Twelve hours later, everyone was already too tired, had bags under their eyes, yawning away, and looked as if they are about to pass out at any minute or any second. All but the last two, Marinette and Lucy. Who are just sitting there.

CONFESSIONAL: GWEN

"The Awake-a-thon was definitely the most brutal thing I've ever done in my life."

CONFESSIONAL: LUCY

"Just as Nettie and I suspected. But then again, I feel like this challenge will be a walk in the park. This brings back some memories of when I was with some old friends of mine when I was five and six years old. I know I was too young to do any of that at night, but still. It's pretty much an easy task for me. I got this one in the bag."

CONFESSIONAL: MARINETTE

"This won't be too bad. I always take all-nighters whenever I have to do homework, work on design ideas, and work on commissions for my clients. So this won't be so hard."

As they all continued with the Awake-a-thon, Owen was already down and out. "This is the most boring thing I've ever done in my life." "Tell me about it. I can't read any of my Stephanie Queen books during this whole ordeal." Lucy said, upset she couldn't read her favorite books for the challenge. "Could be way worse," said Trent. "How?" asked Marinette. "I could be stuck here without you to talk to," he said to Marinette, making her smile. Gwen smiles, seeing that Trent is talking to Marinette.

CONFESSIONAL: GWEN

"Not gonna lie, but for some reason, I can actually see those two being together when this whole crazed storm of a show is over. Those two, totally deserve each other."

CONFESSIONAL: HEATHER

"So, my strategy is to get two other campers to form an alliance with me and take to the Final Three. The only question is, who can I find that is either desperate or dumb enough to do whatever I say?"

"Um, Lindsay? What are you doing there, Bambina?" Lucy asked as she and Gwen saw Lindsay in a mid-handstand position. "I'm trying to get the blood to rush to my head. I think it's working." "Can I try?" Beth asked her. And Lindsay told her sure. "I wouldn't do that if I were you two," Lucy said worriedly. "Lindsay, Beth, can I talk to you for a second?" Heather called. As they head over to her, Lucy, Marinette, and the rest of the campers continue with the Awake-a-thon while Heather talks to Beth and Lindsay.

As the sun went down, some of the campers were already asleep while the rest of them were still trying to stay awake. Which leaves eleven Screaming Gophers and seven Killer Bass still awake. "Congratulations, campers. You've made it to the twenty-four-hour mark. Time to take things up a notch. Fairy tales." "Oh, he's not serious!" Gwen exclaimed. "I know, out of all things, he has to choose fairytales? I could be reading Stephanie Queen's Critter Crematorium by now!" Lucy complained. As Chris read, more and more of the campers started to fall asleep while others were still trying to stay awake.

Now, there were six Screaming Gophers and four Killer Bass still awake. Meanwhile, Gwen, Trent, Lucy, and Marinette started to have a small talk to pass the time. "Okay, favorite song?" "Jagged's song tribute to the Parisian heroine Ladybug," Marinette said. "Too Cool for School by my favorite late Drummer of KISS himself, the Fox, Eric Carr," Lucy said, crossing her heart for the late drummer. "She Would be Loved. Favorite color?" "Pink and red." Marinette answers. "All colors from the 50s to the millennial 2000s. Oh, and black and Navy blue, of course," said Lucy. "Midnight blue." "Ah, mysterious. Nice," Lucy complimented. "Alright, favorite video game?" "Death Arise," said Gwen. "Music Gods," Trent said. "Ultimate Mecha Strike III," said Marinette. "What about you, Lucy?" "Victorian Servant: The Truth for the Vixen's Secret." "Sounds like a great video game, Lucy." "Well, not gonna lie, my friends back home and I needed a break from stuff related to violent and horror-like video games now and then," Lucy admits. Then, Gwen starts to yawn. "Whoa, hey now, don't fall asleep on us now, sorella," Lucy said as she, Trent, and Marinette helped her. "Okay, quick. Favorite movie moment." Marinette says as she and her friends try to help Gwen stay awake. "You guys are gonna think it's cheesy," Gwen warns. "We promise we won't," Trent said, with Marinette nodding in agreement. "Okay, the kiss at the end of that road-trip movie. You know, with the guy and the three girls?" "Oh, yeah! I remember that." Marinette said. "Hey, that one is one of the best classics," Lucy said, crossing her arms and nodding in approval. "You like that movie?" Trent asked with a chuckle. Just then, Marinette then noticed something.

"Hey, where did Owen go?" she and Lucy looked to see that Owen was not there. "That's odd. He was there a while ago." Lucy said, raising a brow. "Uh...it might be best you guys don't want to know," Gwen said awkwardly as she and Trent saw what they both wished they never saw was Owen sleep-streaking. Meanwhile, Lucy and Marinette both looked at Gwen and Trent confused.

CONFESSIONAL: OWEN

"Did I mention that I ate the entire dish of baked beans and maple syrup? Funny thing about baked beans, they make me sleepwalk."

The four then continued on when they saw Sadie and Katie both sleeping together at the same time. "Oh, cool. They even sleep together." Trent said. "It's actually cute, really." said Marinette.

A little while later, the four friends are lying on the ground, looking at the stars. "You guys still awake?" asked Trent. "I am," Marinette said. "Is that even a question?" Lucy questions, crossing her arms. "Yeah. It's weird, but I think I'm so tired, I'm not tired anymore," said Gwen. "Does that make sense?" "I really have no idea," Trent answered. "Hey, Nettie. You know where the Little Dipper is again? I forget." Lucy admitted. "You guys see the Big Dipper? Follow the handle to that bright star, the pole star, and it's right there." "Ah, cool." "Awesome."

It's been fifty-one hours and still counting, and the four started to notice something odd about Justin. Gwen noticed first saying, "Look at him. He's like a statue." "A statue? More like a realistic standee for a model class." Lucy explains. "This guy hasn't moved in like, over fifty hours or so." Gwen, Trent, and Lucy tried to wake Justin up, while Marinette walked up closer to him. "Amazing!" she said. "Just look at the concentration." Then, Marinette taps Justin's face, which causes him to shake his head, which surprises her. What surprises her and her friends the most is when Justin opens his blue eyes, which causes them to gasp and Marinette to jump in surprise and fear.

"His eyelids are painted. I saw it!" Eva pointed out, which got Chris's attention. "Get out," he said in disbelief. "Oh, I've got to see this." Chris runs to see that Justin has painted his eyelids. "That is so crazy incredible! But you're still out, dude." he said. With that, that leaves five Screaming Gophers still awake for the challenge.

Two days later, by the next morning, Marinette was still awake with Lucy, however, the bags in their eyes were telling another story. Just then, Marinette noticed Duncan doing something while Harold was sleeping. He takes Harold's hand and places it in a cup of water. Then, "Oh, gross, it works! Dude peed his pants!" Duncan exclaimed, waking Harold up. As Harold wakes up, he realizes that he did and tries to cover himself in embarrassment. "Duncan! Why did you do that?!" Marinette said, running towards the scene. "Ah, come on, dollface. You gotta admit that was hilarious." said Duncan. Marinette glares at him, the same way she would at Roth when he tried to plagiarize Kitty Section's song and her designs back in Paris. "Maybe for you, but that is still wrong. How immature can you be?"

CONFESSIONAL: DUNCAN

"Fiesty. I like that in a chick."

CONFESSIONAL: LUCY

"I saw that too, and believe it or not, but I've been through a lot of weird stuff back at my old high school, but that, that was just the lowest of low, even for Mr. Juvie Boy. That was just wrong. But aside from all of that, I got to get the bright side of things." Lucy then grabs a vintage-looking camera, takes a finished photograph out of it, and reveals the photograph to be Noah kissing Cody's ear. "Ha! We've been here for a week, and we're already getting a first ship. How fun is this in our second challenge?"

CONFESSIONAL: NOAH

"I didn't know it was Cody! I thought I was kissing Marinette!" Noah then realized what he said five seconds later. "No! I mean-AGH!"

After a while, Gwen started to yawn. "I'd kill for a coffee right now," she said. Lucy was taking a couple of whiffs of an essential oil. Until she opened her eyes and turned her head to Gwen. "Sorry, Gwen. Did you say something?" Before Gwen can ask what Lucy is sniffing, Chris walks in with a cup of coffee in hand. "What is the matter with you people?" he asks, sipping his coffee. "Come on, fall asleep already." Just then, Gwen grabs Chris by the leg. "You got to hook me up, man." She said. "I'll even eat the grinds. Anything!" "All right, you seven stay with me. The rest of you go and get a shower, for heaven's sake. You stink!" Chris said, sipping more of his coffee. 'Well, what do you expect McLean? You're the one who's making us this insanity you call an Awake-a-thon.' Lucy thought unamused as she continued sniffing her essential oil. She then turns to Marinette, who seems to be ready to fall asleep. Before the girl can close her eyes, Lucy quickly has the essential oil right in front of Marinette's face and under her nose. And with a couple of whiffs, Marinette's eyes were wide open.

"Huh?! Wha? Whe-where am I?" she gasped, looking around, looking awake. "I didn't want it to come to this." Chris started, getting both her and Lucy's attention. "I said that to Chef Hatchet last night. I said, "Chef, I don't want it to come to this." But darn it, these campers are tough. And so, I've come up with the most boring, sleep-inducing activity I can find."

CONFESSIONAL: GWEN

"Oh, come on. What now? Okay, you know what? Bring it on."

Just then, Chris opens a book, which Marinette and Lucy both realize that it was a...

"The History of Canada. A pop-up book. Chapter One."

'You're kidding, right?' Lucy thought as she and Marinette both looked unamused. 'I'd rather listen to Lila keep on lying about the host of the Puppy Bachelorette, Blainley.' Marinette thought while the other five groaned and Gwen let out a 'Stink!'

As Chris goes on and on in the book, it brung Eva, Heather, Gwen, and Trent to sleep. 'Elder Gods Dangit!' Lucy thought in frustration.

A little while later, Chris announced to the still awake three campers, "Time for a bathroom break. Any takers?" he asked. "I've held it this long, sweetheart," said Duncan. "I can go all day." Lucy scoffs. "Yeah, but I doubt you can hold it for another ten chapters." hearing that, causes Duncan to change his mind, and head to the bathroom. "You've got five minutes." Chris said. "Long as you don't mind a little company." "Fine, but stay out of the stall." Duncan warns.

After a little while, Lucy and Marinette started to feel extremely tired. That was until Chris received some intel from an intern. "And we have news. It looks like Duncan's taken a dive on the can, which means there is not one, but two official winners of the Awake-a-thon. And those two winners are...."

"Is it just me? Or is that a sorcerer from a different realm with an evil smirk heading our way?" Lucy mumbly asked with Marinette mumbly responding, "That depends. Is the sorcerer holding a dark purple butterfly that looks like an akuma we get from in Paris in his hand all of a sudden?" after that, the girls then fell back first, fast asleep, knocked out cold.

"Lucy and Marinette! The Screaming Gophers win!"

After taking the two winners, Gwen, and Trent back to their cabin and putting them to bed, there was a commotion going on in the Killer Bass's cabin. Where Eva was trashing the girl's side of the said cabin in anger, in search of something that seemed important to her. Heather decided to "walk in and see what was going on". "Hey, guys. Wow, this place is a real mess," she said. "Someone stole Eva's MP3 player," Courtney explained to her. Heather then "realized" and asked, "You don't mean this, do you?" as she showed the MP3 player that got Eva's attention. As she ran to Heather, Heather "Explained" to them, "I was wondering who it belonged to. I found it by the campfire pit. You must've dropped it." Evan thanked her and Heather responded with a "Sure thing" and walked off.

CONFESSIONAL: HEATHER

"Turn a team against their own team members? Easiest trick in the book."

When the Killer Bass's elimination ceremony came around in the evening, Chris walked to them and spoke.

"You've all cast your votes and made your decision. There are only nine marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow, must immediately return to the Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers, and leave. And you can never come back, ever." Chris then moves on with the names of the campers who are safe. "The first marshmallow goes to Duncan. Bridgette. Courtney. Katie and Sadie. Tyler. D.J.. Geoff. Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening... Harold. Eva, the Dock of Shame awaits.”

"Nice. Really nice." Eva said to the other campers, looking as mad as a raging bull. "Who needs this lame-o T.V. show, anyway?" as she stomps off to the Dock of Shame, she ragingly kicks Chris in the shin. As he lets out an 'ow' and holds his possibly bruised leg, he turns to the Killer Bass, telling them, "Have a good night's sleep tonight. You're all safe."

CONFESSIONAL: COURTNEY

"See? I told you. You can't act like a total raging psychopath and then expect people to just forgive you, no matter how tough and strong and fast you are." Courtney explains and crosses her arms, "She's never gonna have a career if she doesn't get her act together."

CONFESSIONAL: HEATHER

"So, Eva was one of their strongest players, and now she's gone. I am so running this game."

As Eva is in the Boat of Losers, she starts to talk, "I guess my temper got the better of me. Again. But whatever, they just lost their fiercest competitor. I hope they realize that." Just then, she feels something in her pocket. She checks to see that it is a little charm that has Rosie the Riveter that has words that say, 'Stay Strong, Eva! You Can Do It!', an essential oil that is labeled 'Anger Management', and a note that says, "To the strongest gal we know, M & L" Eva smiles, "But then again, there are some people that are actually understanding." she said.

Meanwhile, back at the Screaming Gophers' cabin, Lucy and Marinette, both smiled small in their sleep.

i wrote some s1 duncney bc i miss them </3

also on my ao3!

Duncan's pissed. This whole time there's been a five-star resort on the other side of the island, while he's been roughing it in the woods and putting up with Chef's crappy food? Yeah, screw McLean. If Duncan had known about the Playa, he would have snuck in to visit Courtney ages ago.

As it is, the first thing Courtney does when Duncan steps off the Boat of Losers is sock him directly on the arm, hard.

"Damn, Princess, didn't know you could pack a punch," he cracks, massaging his shoulder and shooting Courtney the usual smirk. "Glad to see you missed me."

She rolls her eyes, brows drawn into a glare. She's wearing her grey swimsuit, which he used to think was boring and prudish - now he just thinks it's hot.

"That," Courtney proclaims, crossing her arms across her chest. "Was for snuggling up to Heather."

"What, that?" Duncan scoffs. "Come on, you know I can't stand that chick. And she cozied up to me, or did the cameras not show that part?"

"Doesn't matter!" She throws her arms up in the air - long, tan arms, nice - nearly hitting him in the face. "You let it happen! I saw it!"

He just grins. "You know what you also saw?"

Her only response is a mean stink-eye. God, this woman is like no one else.

"You saw me in the confessionals shouting out to you every episode since you got booted off," he says. "You saw me spray paint the walls of my side of the cabin with your skull."

She narrows her eyes. "That was supposed to be me?"

Duncan blinks. "I thought that was obvious."

Is he seeing things, or did the corner of her lips twitch? "Don't think I missed the heart you carved in the back of my totem head."

"Oh, man, they aired that?" Duncan groans. "The guys at juvie are never gonna let me hear the end of it."

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway, Duncan, because I want absolutely nothing to do with you." And she quite literally sticks up her nose at him. "Hmmpf!"

"Riiiiiight. Sure thing, Princess. And you're the only one who came to the docks to see me because...?"

"Just to tell you how much of an ogre you are!" Courtney splutters, cheeks darkening - has it really been that long since he last saw her, or are there more freckles scattering the bridge of her nose than there were before? "I'm a C.I.T. You're a delinquent. It's not hard to do the math."

Duncan holds up his hands in surrender. "Ok, fine. You have fun making out with Harold, then, since clearly he's more your type."

To his surprise, Courtney freezes, mouth agape. "They didn't tell you...?"

He frowns. "Tell me what?"

"Harold's the reason I got eliminated in the first place! He switched the votes when no one was looking, the little twerp." Her hands ball into fists at her sides. "I've been on the warpath for that dweeb ever since. My lawyers say Chris is going down."

"That geeky little snake!" Duncan pounds his fist into his palm. "Who does that?!"

"Someone who wants to get back at a certain mohawked bully, that's who," Courtney declares. "Don't worry, I haven't let him off easy."

"That's my girl." Another sock to the arm. "Ow! The hell was that for?"

"I'm not your girl," says Courtney, and yeah, she's definitely smiling this time. "As if."

"Uh-huh. How's the pool here? I could use a nice, long swim. Maybe with a certain Type A-In-Training?"

"Ugh. You're still so not my type." She glances around, seems to decide it's safe, then snags him by the collar and sticks her tongue in his mouth. "Mmmm!" She breaks off before he can really return the favor. "Come on, Caveman. Let's get you into your trunks."

Blood rushing in his veins like Owen rushes for breakfast, Duncan grins. "Or maybe you should get me out of my - "

SOCK!

"OW!"

So some Doctor Who news leaked recently about one of the cast members being dropped from the show. Anyone who's plugged into the Doctor Who machine already knows who it is, but for the sake of everyone being on the same page I'm going to be coy about it.

I'm going to go into a fan theory that partially explains this away as a deliberate misdirect, but before I do that, I do want to acknowledge the seriousness of this actor losing their job and express my general sympathies. I think they've done a terrific job so far, and I'll be very sad to see them go. My theory is not trying to lessen the severity of this development or trivialise what happened with this actor, and while this theory is something I'm rattling out for fun, it's really shitty to lose your job and I want to acknowledge the sober reality of the situation before I indulge myself in make-believe.

So, my SPOILER-LADEN fan theory where I blindly clutch at straws is below the cut.

---

So I already think Mrs. Flood is the Rani, that she's the one who abandoned Ruby at the church and that Ruby is the Master.

Even if it was played for laughs, RTD deliberately evoked the series 3 finale in The Giggle by having a keepsake of the Master being retrieved by a woman's hand. In series 4, it was revealed that the woman who took Simm!Master's ring from his funeral pyre was his human wife, who he married as a part of his ploy as Harold Saxon. But for the two years between that ring being picked up and the show telling that story, one of the most prominent theories was that the woman who took that ring was the Rani.

So what I think is up is that the Rani had the transmogrified Master in the form of the Toymaker's gold tooth. She did some magic or something, and she either intentionally de-aged the Master to the state of a newborn baby, or she was unable to preserve the previous reincarnation and the Master that remained was a newborn. Her plan in this scenario is to let Ruby - who's grown up as Ruby and has zero inkling as to her origins as a new regeneration of the Master - infiltrate the TARDIS and get close to the Doctor, and then at a crucial point in time, the Rani is going to trigger the Master's memories - erasing Ruby's entire existence and bringing back one of the Doctor's most notorious foes, all while having that foe wear the face of one of the Doctor's closest allies. The goal being to not only break the Doctor in mind and spirit, but to make him unable to fight against his former companion.

If something like this was the case, Ruby would probably only get to appear in an episode or two of series 15. She's a rogue companion. She's a villain, and one of the most depraved regenerations of the Master yet - engineered specifically by a bad-faith outside actor to be as pointedly malicious towards the Doctor as possible.

The reality is almost certainly that Millie Gibson got fired, and the production of this new era of the show is kind of fucked. Comparisons to Eccleston are abound. Despite my love for his era of the show, maybe the work environment under Russell T. Davies is all sorts of fucked. Again - my sympathies go out towards Millie Gibson. I've really enjoyed her performance so far. I want her to stay. This news is terrible, and I don't mean to trivialise the reality of the situation.

BUT

WHAT IF

this was a misdirect - as Russell T. Davies is known to do, what with Ten being photographed in a Time Lord robe back in 2009 - and they're setting everyone up to expect Millie Gibson to be shunted off the show and written out, only to pull one of the cruelest gut-punches in Doctor Who history and have her be an arc villain with the Rani. Iconic. Untouchable. Absolutely unhinged.

My original theory was that - in the event of this outcome - Ruby would eventually win out through like a "battle from within" sort of setup. It could be another shot at the "Master as a companion" plotline like Twelve's run built up to in the end - she's still the Master, she's crafty and you don't know if she's gonna stab the Doctor in the back and go full Master, but she spent an entire lifetime as Ruby and the life she lived as Ruby counts for something. She feels as much for the Doctor as Ruby as she feels as the Master.

But given that they've seemingly cast a new companion for series 15, my guess is that - on the infinitesimally thin sliver of a chance that any of this is on the money - Millie Gibson's Master goes full rogue. And they're leaking the new companion and Millie's departure so that when the twist comes at the end of the season, fuckin NOBODY SEES IT COMING. Like yeah, Millie filmed her last scenes on the show. It's a buttfuck bonkers take on the Master that goes ABSOLUTELY HAM.

Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: The Croods: A New Age

So back when I watched the first entry in The Croods series, I was actually pretty plesantly surprised. But believe it or not, this movie managed to surprise me even more, because not only is it good, its actually, like... really good?? Shocking, I know, so let's get into why I think that.

We rejoin the Croods as they continue on their quest for a new home, eventually crossing paths with the Bettermans, a much more "advanced" family that's just a little more evolved than they are. Initially disliking the chaos the Croods bring to their family and their home, the Bettermans devise a plan to get rid of the cavefamily, while convincing Guy to stay, as his family was friends with the Bettermans and they see him as a perfect match for their daughter, Dawn. From there, well, damn a whole bunch happens, with lots of twists and turns I wasn't expecting as these two incredibly different families buck heads and learn to accept each other.

So yeah, the plot here is pretty solid and very character focused, which is probably why I liked it so much. Like we really do just have so much emphasis on character interactions and dynamics here, with some really great standouts being Dawn and Eep's friendship (they're lesbians, harold) that could have just as easily been a jealous rivalry for Guy, but isn't, the eventual epic bromance between Phil and Grug, Ugga and Hope initially hating each other but eventually coming to terms with each other, Gran just being The Character Ever, and so much more. There's a lot going on here, but there's so much to like about it! I'm impressed!

So yeah, speaking of the characters, I already liked the Croods family in the first movie, but they're even better here. Grug is still the typical overprotective dad trying to keep the family together, but he's way less overbearing about it than he was in the first movie. We also see some good progression in Eep and Guy's relationship, and I think they're a pretty cute and solid couple! The Bettermans are also a lot of fun! Phil and Hope start out as sort of selfish, manipulative jerks who just want the Croods out of their lives, but they go through some pretty solid development and learn to appreciate the Croods and welcome them into their home. Dawn is also a lot of fun, a girl who has spent her life living on the safe side, so of course, she readily takes Eep up on the offer to have some fun the first chance she gets.

The movie doesn't have much in the way of an antagonist, aside from the punch monkeys, which are a pretty funny final act obstacle for the families to overcome. Really though, the conflict here really does center on the friction between the Croods and the Bettermans, and the film does such a great job of developing that friction and naturally bringing both families to a good place with each other.

The humor here is also a lot better than the first movie's. Sure, there's still a handful of grossout jokes here and there, but a lot of the jokes here just come from the characters being themselves (like I said, Gran is a standout for the Crazy Old Lady trope, and also, a total badass in her own right). I think that tends to be my favorite kind of humor with Dreamworks movies, when the jokes lean on these characters reacting to situations in their own unique, humorous way.

The animation has also been stepped up here quite a bit. The character designs look better somehow, and the movement they have to them is very fluid. The film is just bursting with color throughout, with set pieces that are just as creative and pretty to look at as the first film's. The music was pretty average, but I'm fine with that because I was so impressed with everything else.

So yeah, Croods 2. Who could have guessed this was a surprisingly great movie? I certainly didn't, I went into this movie with the barest expectations possible and came out having thoroughly enjoyed it. I earnestly recommend it for anyone who's looking for a fun film with a good story and great characters. It may just surprise you, like it surprised me.

Overall Rating: 8/10

Previous Review (Trolls World Tour)

Next Review (Spirit Untamed)

[writingkitten]

So how would the Molinaverse boys react to their s/o being openly flirted with in public at party, dinner or some sort of formal event? Are we waiting to get home or a more public display of possession? 🤔

Oh ho ho, this is gonna be GOOD 😈

Ricardo: oh my sweet husband, my loving man, my protective and possessive daddy… wow he’d make sure whoever was flirting with his s/o would KNOW they fucked up. Now, it might just be him making it very clear throughout their time out that his s/o is HIS (constantly holding their hand, kissing them, calling them “MY love” “MY baby” “MY *insert pet name here*”. If the person was doing some HEAVY flirting, Ricardo would be even more obvious (gripping s/o’s waist, pda, kissing his s/o while making full eye contact with whoever was flirting with them). If the person’s flirting was OUTRAGEOUS, or if they just didn’t get the hint the first time, Ricardo would punch them. Just straight socking the person in the jaw. Then he’d take his s/o home and fuck them so hard, so rough, all night long because they belong to HIM they are HIS BABY and only HE gets to flirt with them. If he happens to also be in a bad mood, or if he already doesn’t like the person flirting with his s/o, he’d punch them and then take his s/o to the nearest bathroom/closet because he’s not waiting until they get home to claim his s/o.

Otto: he’d be more nonchalant than Ricardo, more charming and sophisticated in his “warning” to the person, probably sliding his way into the conversation, wrapping his arm around his s/o and stealing a kiss that’s just a bit too long and too deep to be considered a normal smooch. Once the two arrive home, he’d be very sensual and seductive while whispering “you’re mine, don’t you know that by now? no one else gets to have you… you belong to me” and then makes sure his s/o feels his ownership for the next few days after their little reminder 👀

Doc Ock: throws the person off of a roof, then fucks his s/o so hard that everyone hears their screams of pleasure and knows that they’re getting owned (totally down to fuck them in front of everyone so they all know who his s/o belongs to)

Robert: okay so I think Robert would take some pushing to react in public as far as dealing with the person goes, like he’d start with Otto’s move of wrapping his arm around his s/o, if the flirting continues he’d move on to Ricardo’s responses, and if the person dared to touch his s/o in any way, fists will fly. Now, as far as his s/o goes, he’d have no problem sneaking them away from whatever they’re at and fucking them so they walk around the rest of the time with his cum inside of them. Then he’s doing it again when they get home.

Harding: oh shit okay flirting with Doc Ock’s s/o is a really bad idea, but flirting with Harding’s s/o. Fuck. Bad idea. Really, really bad idea. Harding doesn’t like to think of himself as a man capable of murder… but everyone has a breaking point. Also would make damn sure EVERYONE knew his s/o belongs to him. He will straight give them a hickey in public, also down to fuck them in public. If he doesn’t fuck his s/o in public, he’d do it once they both got home, taking his s/o from behind, one arm wrapped around their torso while the other hand is gripping their hair, forcing them to look in the mirror he’s fucking them in front of while saying “no one else makes you feel this good, only my cock satisfies you the way you need”

Harold: my sweet boy would need a lot of pushing to do anything in public, his breaking point would probably be the same as Robert’s, but he’d be very calm and collected prior to that. While he’d hate seeing the flirting, he’d be thinking to himself “flirt all you want, they love me and would never leave me for you” because duh it’s true (he would definitely still be mad, though, he just also happens to be very British aka too polite for his own good). When he and his s/o got home, he’d be on them in an instant, doing everything to make them feel intense pleasure. He loves them, after all, and wants them to know that no one else can love his s/o just as perfectly as he can.

Oswald: Penguin comes out to play. Someone gets murdered. He fucks his s/o harder than he ever had before, then after he comes his head clears and he’s back to being sweet Ozzy and apologizes profusely for such a rough fucking (but his s/o shuts him up with a kiss and says “please use me like that more often”)

Chandler: I don’t think Chandler is opposed to murder. S/o wouldn’t be able to walk the next day (I know people throw that around, but dude… he’d go hard-fucking-core after seeing someone flirt with his s/o)

Manuel: oh damn okay so the person flirting? Yeah, his Opus Dei/Vatican people are gonna handle them. His s/o? Well, they didn’t flirt back, but he still thinks they need to pay for their temptation of others aka BDSM mixed with hierophilia (excuse me I have to go wipe the drool from my face) (I like me some religious kinks)

Armand: permanent vendetta against the person flirting, wouldn’t be above framing them for murder, also handcuffs would come out in the bedroom after the event for sure (“you’re mine and you’re staying in this bed until that’s the only thing in your cute little head”)

Diego: would probably be a little (or a lot) drunk and, depending on how much alcohol he had, would either get into an argument with the person or straight up just throw hands, s/o has to calm him down and when they get home his s/o is actually the one to initiate sex to help soothe him

Edelweiss: “EXCUSE ME THEY BELONG TO ME THEY ARE MY PERSON AND I GO DOWN ON THEM VERY WELL NOW PLEASE KINDLY FUCK OFF” that’s it that’s what he says out loud in public while screaming

Andres: I think in public he’d play the very sensual fiery partner that their s/o is addicted to, and show the person flirting that they have no chance at all. Once home, he’d tie his partner down and make them beg so they are FULLY aware that he has them wrapped around his little finger

Frank: ideally, he’d rip the clothes off of his s/o and fuck them right there so there’s no doubt who their s/o belongs to, however that’s not very feasible in polite society. I think I’m reality he’d just smile and pretend everything is fine, maybe even encourage it! Just so he can angry-fuck his s/o when they get home.

Hank: similar to Frank, but he might not wait until they get home (aka his s/o gets fucked in the fancy bathroom at the event, and then again when they’re home)

Boris: sweet baby boy would get so angrily flustered! His face would be so red, and I can almost see him acting a little bit like a toddler in his possessiveness (*grabby hands* “MY BABY 😠”). Would be on his s/o as soon as they walk through the front door, kissing them deep and desperately, needing to make sure that his s/o is HIS (probably would be like “who owns you? who makes you feel good? you’re MY good *insert pet name*, right?” He’d play it like he’s being dominant but it’s more so trying to get his s/o to reassure him that they love him and him only)

Arden: also probably reacting like a toddler, but much more open and tantrum-like, definitely shows his jealousy (Arden wears his heart on his sleeve), makes his s/o blow him in the car and after he cums he kisses them and breathlessly says “you are mine… right?” to which his s/o just kisses him back even more passionately

Dunlop: I mean on one hand I don’t see someone trying to flirt with his s/o purely for the reason that he’d probably be wearing his (formal dress) military uniform at the event, and I don’t think people would want to fuck with him (even if he’s actually a huge sweetheart) BUT if someone did flirt with his s/o he’d be similar to Andres, but more romantic and lovey-dovey than fiery, and then when they get home he’d be more like Boris where he tries to sneakily get reassurance (for both boys their s/o would know what they’re trying to do and would gladly butter them up/ensure that Boris/Dunlop know they love him)

Maxim: again very similar to Andres, with maybe the slightest temper tantrum-esque attitude in private, might get a little pouty if his s/o is like “dude chill” because he loves them and just wants people to know that the two of them are soulmates 🥺

Big Boss: “oh, you think you can flirt with my baby? 😀 you think they’d be interested in YOU? 😀 you think you could fuck them as good as I do? 😃 let me show you something, cowboy…” *expose s/o to show the person just how hard/wet/both his obvious possessiveness has made them* “you can’t do that with just a little jealousy, hoss…”

Fine. The Furry Roster, part 1 of however many parts it takes: All the Gordons are cephalopods.

More will come soon.

[total-feminism-takes]

Lesbian Courtney anon here!

Courntey and Duncan are so much more than toxic exes... they are human to me.

They are both sides of the same coin that am aware of is my own soul.

Basically, this ship not all that to you but to me, Courtney is just like me in the need of PERFECT!

I crashed and failed for many years to finally get I was drowning and dying to be loved and comfort by the wrong person and my family doesn't see me as human but legacy to continue.

I love them a lot.

Courtney needs help with therapy like Duncan.

Basically they made me realize my childhood up bringing and more is not my fault but it is my fault for hitting. sprialing, and losing my sense of my reality because of no one offered to help me or realizing I was getting abused at home by own flesh and blood.

The abuse can become abusers sadly.

We don't need you to deem us as crazy abusive exes, sometimes we need to be left alone to grow and health, more help understanding what we were taught was wrong.

I was a bad person I blew up things like Duncan with fire and hit others in the name of justice I said to myself like Courtney but end of the day.

I will not be seen as not a martyr. But death and the villain of itself in most people's stories!

But I will still be branded off as abusive and awful even if I was trying to defend myself or walk away from the fight.

It's hard out here especially when we love and adopt TD characters to represent ourselves out here.

I am growing slowly but surely, I used to hate the world and everything due to the unfairness of the world and hatred brought on by others to my feet.

I couldn't just turn the other cheek when someone hits you first or threatens you at time you fight back then regret.

I want many to know sometimes we are seen as monsters and have no redemption, yet you are you are own writer and person!

Sometimes we got look in mirror and go I know I am bad, toxic, and piece shite but guess what sunshine! We are still alive and live for ourselves! We can thrive for ourselves and do better from now on!

I used to be hateful bible thumping Christian because I was raised that way, every hit was because I love you, your fault is being a women, but guess what?!

I like girls and love boys!

I love girls so much my friends think I wanted to date them since high school, but I was just trying to be affectionate and their own personal cheerleaders when needed!

It is not sin to love, or be women. It is not wrong to like to like characters like Courtney or Duncan!

I am tired of it!

Let people enjoy things! That's personal opinion! Why am going tell you what's wrong with you and what's right if I am no saint myself!

Courtney my beloved and Duncan my dove, I love you even if you just a silly parody/satire teenagers of reality tv series!

I hate that made you so awful in the end of time they could punch up with the jokes and the satire but no they doom us all with brain rot of blah blah Courtney is abusive only.

You saw how they treated Leshawna as well yet many of you racially profile her still. You bestialize and fetishize my girl and carry her with shame of no growth and tie her to white man- sorry Harold, who is basically a parody of napoleon dynamite kip and lafawnduh!!!

You cowards, shame on you only smut and fetishize for my girl Leshawna yet put Courtney to the slaughter brand her a demon and abuser without remorse.

Yet you do not humanize the women in TD fandom but brand them as awful people or make them inhuman sex dolls for you pleasure without remorse but hey hehe TD fandom so silly and accepting to all.

I want smut readers and writers to understand that you can have your own piece of cake too but goddamn! LET THEM BE MORE HUMAN AND REALSTIC IN SOME WAYS!

BODY HAIR

PERIODS

BODY ISSUES

FORBBIEN ROMANCE DUE TO NOT RACE THINGS BUT SOMETHING ELSE!

I am not good person I know but I have my own brain to tell me that. I love Courtney, she did a lot for me because she wasn't perfect. I don't love because oh she must hate Gwen. No. I like Gwen but I hate that you guys think she's saint (I feel like you- most think pale skin tone people or cartoons do no wrong ever) Gwen is complex like everyone in TD. You guys just sleep on Gwen to make her your weird plaything to have someone to ship with but no growth or her own standing in some cases.

Oh to the point when I say Courtney can do nothing wrong and is saint I snort (I say that a lot my readers might think I don't see her as a bad guy ever which tbh not true) I snort because that's wrong! She's so bad and needs be better for herself not to be "FIX"

Love you guys...

XoXo

From someone who is Duncan Stan of heart and Courtney Stan in her DNA and loves Dunceny ship.

Mostly I relate to Duncan more in chaos and Courtney in cry and tantrums because I get too overwhelmed to speak with my brain goes time to scream and rage now! As a teenager I was more of mini-Duncan with a mess of Courtney Action you saw!

Yes, I am getting help now, I am being diagnosed with stuff (OH ACT SHOCK!!) and I will take therapy and pills as needed.

The point is we can spare a bit humanity along the way, F U you to your abusive partners, and I am not telling you stay with them or humanize them!

RUN AWAY AND STAY AWAY FROM THEM TOO!

From someone who barely escaped they're on and off again abusive relationship. I was the "Courtney" in the relationship but behind closed doors he was awful, I cried so much, and he told me to die often but the world only saw a teenager girl and young adult me acting like "COURTNEY" and didn't help me but blamed me for it.

Anyway, if you love Courtney or Duncan, it's not your fault others don't!

You don't need them? You don't need valid your love for anything or likes in this world!

Abuse is harsh and comes in many forms than one.

I am bad person I know- I used to be my first mantra since I was 16 years old now.

I go I was not a healed person back then just a child who didn't know better, my actions have consequences, I regret, I let go, and I relearn to grow, and I heal slowly but surely. I am not my father, I am not my abuser, I am not my abuse, it's okay to like this, it's okay they don't like this or me!

I am allowed to live and I am allowed to like this if makes me happy. Then I can block them or mute them if it really hurts me!

That's all.

I did my first session of therapy in long time and I saw post the Courtney pushed to only to the role of "crazy abusive ex" of Duncan's which is harsh especially I have to live through it still.

It's embarrassing at 24 years old people act like I chained up my ex-boyfriend to be with me and that I was the controlling abuser when they don't know the whole story or how much he threatened to off himself or me if I left him. Then he cheats on me through the whole relationship, and I have to stay in it because I loved him and feared him.

Duncan wasn't like my ex.

And Courtney wasn't like me.

But I love them because they are just silly characters and ship that I enjoy and work through my own bullshit. And say I did love a lot but no more to that, but I can love again in forms in these silly dumb cartoons and make them kiss sometimes as fanfic writer!

Anyway, love you all and sorry for ranting my nonsense again peace out girl scouts but mother nature needs to be saved with love and money these days-sadly no money, but I can clean up the beaches and feed the stray cats now!

Treat yourself with not needed valid your existence or but I love them to random haters or people that just don't give a F about anything but their own mind...

You can like things too without needing explanation, honey! You got this!

BLOCK THEM IF THEY DON'T LEAVE YOU ALONE!

💖💖 Thank you for the Asks!! 💖💖

2 - Do you write porn from the perspective of the character you want to be or the one you want to bang?

My POV’s are usually a blend of 3rd person with insights to one specific character in each section. For the scenes I’ve written already, it's mostly coming from the OC perspective. All Hayden/Glen scenes are with Hayden insight so I guess I can confidently say POV is who I want to be there, but the other pairs are a hit or miss. Max has POV on 1 of 2 scenes. Harold, Steph, and Gwen each have a POV scene as well. But really, Glen is my guy, so you might say, with those other pairings, I don’t really have a horse in the race.

5 - Who’s the sexiest non-human character in your current fandom? (must actually diverge from human sexual characteristics - no elves or asari)

Like canon fandom? Because Flagg wins on default. He’s really the only supernatural being in play there. And I mean, it is Skarsgård. I started watching this for him, and I’ll go down on the Eric Northman ship any day. Flagg himself though? Dude needs a good punch to the face, and for somebody to mess up that stupid hair and get him out of Denim Dan mode. But good luck having sexy time without going bat shit crazy or knocked up with CK demon spawn.

If we’re talking about the world I created in Diving and OCs are in play…? Vampires may not diverge enough, but if they do, Gwen would most likely take the trophy. Laufey may wrestle that bitch away for their own though, and would have more of a divergence claim to count in their favor. The image I had for Shay would also put her in the running too, although she doesn’t play to that dynamic.

9 - Who/what are your inspirations for truly fucked up content?

I mean, my fandom source material is pretty fucked. Stephen King and all. I lean more to the Buffy end of things. Give me baddies, but I want the white side to have a bit more control in it all, or have the end favor it more. And I also love seeing a good redemption arc. So in that mindset, SK is much darker than I could ever be. I also think I may be pulling some vibes from Dean Koontz too, because I really liked his Odd Thomas and Fear Nothing series. In my head, he’s kind of SK light. Still a 'thats fucked' vibe, but less of a lingering 'fuck you - why did you do that?! You let him alone!' screaming outbursts. I like my horror, but it's because I want to see a ‘Doctor Who’ jump in and save people. So my fanfic is trying to do just that. Fuck you, let Glen alone, I love him.

14 - What’s your favourite way to emotionally destroy your favourite character?

Perceived loss and the helplessness to stop it. I absolutely enjoy a good ‘may hell rain down upon you’ when one character thinks another character is in danger or dead. I want to see the villains have the ‘oh… oh shit…’ moment when they realize what they brought on. I want to watch it get destroyed, and I want to cheer them on when they do it. Burn it down.

17 - If you could steal one fic from any other writer and claim it as your own, what would you take?

Hey @asirensrage wanna give up Tammy? No? Thought not. You know my undying love for this fic.

I'm Not You: A story about perspective

Why I made the fic

This was my first fanfic for the tetocu fandom (unless you count the ones I started on Wattpad/Quotev that I never finished and eventually abandoned).

And I am PROUD of it! The above is a trailer I made for season 3 in this universe. In hindsight, there are some things I probably should have done differently, but it's okay. Nobody is perfect.

@n4talia-chaparro told me it's a good fic, and I believe them XP. I posted all this exclusively onto ao3. So this is a summary of the AU! Spoilers start here.

The Butterfly Effect

The change that kicks off I'm Not You is small. Melvin chooses to spare Melvinborg, and he goes to season 3. He tries to convince George and Harold that this is a bad idea, but they don't listen, and he is dragged to camp.

Chapter 1

George and Harold arrive at the same camp, but their hopes and dreams are cut short when Mr. Krupp (who is the camp director) splits the camp into Camp Lake Summer Camp (George) and Lake Summer Camp Camp (Harold) to afford an $80,000 LeisureMyLand inflatable private island. He puts a fence in between George and Harold, as he hopes to turn the boys against each other. When George and Harold make a comic without each other, war begins. Both camps create the Balloonatic and Camplifire, but when their advances go wrong, it's time for Captain Underpants!

Unbeknownst to them, Melvinborg is onto the boys (I didn't put it in the fic)

At the end of the chapter, Mr. Krupp puts a brick wall between them, revealing that Melvin informed him about their trick, which still makes Harold and George stay at separate camps whether they like it or not. And Melvinborg compares the situation to Trump's wall.

Chapter 2

This chapter had, if I recall correctly, the best line I ever wrote:

Onto the chapter: Sick of Krupp's wall, Melvinborg ends up starting a food fight, and he gets into trouble with Krupp. As a result, Krupp puts Melvin and Melvinborg on different nature walks. Not too surprisingly, Melvinborg is very pissed at Krupp afterwards.

Little does Melvinborg know that George and Harold made a possum smart, which was part of the plan to put them in the same camp. But when Ragely J. Snarlingtooth (the possum) turns against them and turns the children at camp into servants, which Melvinborg is unsurprisingly confused by, it's time for Captain Underpants and three more extra smart animals (a raccoon, snake, and water buffalo), who make the Advancimals (a show introduced in The Preposterous Pulverizing of the Pestering Poopacabra)!

Chapter 3

Mr. Krupp doesn’t want his photo shoot with the Federation of United National Camps (The F.U.N.C.) to be ruined, so he sends the noisy kids — and the Melvins — climbing up a snowy mountain to get them out of his hair (and motivating them with a Mystery Box most of the kids think has junk inside, but Melvin thinks it has Doopity the Dancing Dolphin, Melvinborg thinks it has a university degree of all things and Jessica thinks it has another Sophie). When they encounter a long-lost explorer that inexplicably turns into a rumored abominable snowman called Altitooth, Captain Underpants comes to town! Also, the Melvins suffer an avalanche.

This chapter had one of the best fourth wall jokes in the fic:

Chapter 4

As you can clearly see in chapter 2, this chapter was where Krupp started to mess with the Melvins as revenge for what happened in season 2. He started by putting shock collars on them. The episode mostly plays the same way as canon, but Captain Underpants punches Melvinborg.

Chapter 5

After Melvin and Melvinborg get covered in algae, Melvinborg creates a dream catcher. But of course, Melvin takes them all to the dream dimension.

Since Melvinborg was holding onto the dream catcher, he discovers he has some extent of control over the dream dimension of George and Harold. They proceed to have fun. Save for Melvin, who doesn't give a shit about this dimension and wants out. And Melvinborg internally hates the place. This was @n4talia-chaparro's second favorite line btw:

So, Melvin and Melvinborg trick Harold into making his worst nightmare, Melvinathan. Melvinborg, rather stupidly, attacks, only to be eaten and nearly killed by Melvinathan. And then the kids ditch him and Melvin.

Since Melvinborg is still here, he gets them both out.

Chapter 6

Melvinborg meets Gavin, his rich version. He's not happy. Another episode that's mostly the same as canon. Not much here.

Chapter 7

This episode goes mostly the same way as canon, but just with the Melvins there.

It was rather inconsistent how Melvin didn't have a role in this episode, so I changed it.

Anyways, in this episode, Melvinborg gets brainwashed. He says it reminds him of the Sinister Splotch, and he's unaware through the rest of the chapter. You know, this scene:

Eventually, he gets unbrainwashed, and the Melvins get shot with paintballs.

Chapter 8

This chapter was so intense to write.

Melvinborg died in this one. He did come back, and he got turned into stone and shattered, but still…

This episode is mostly the same, but Melvinborg is present. And yes, he does get "bored stiff". This chapter is important though.

Chapter 9

Another episode that goes mostly the same way as canon.

Melvinborg's story is a recap of the Harmful Horrors of the Harrowing Hiveschool. You know, the episode where this happens:

Anyways, Melvin and Melvin-Borg suffer a near death experience in this chapter, but Krupp saves them. And then Melvin gets caged, and Melvinborg gets experimented on.

And then Melvinborg gets chased by a skunk.

Chapter 10

This episode is basically the canon episode 10, but I added Melvinborg.

His part of the story features a balant self -insert called "Devin", and it's drawn in 8 bit style.

This also had @n4talia-chaparro's favorite line.

Chapter 11-13

Grouping the chapters together, because the wiki says that season 3 has a three part finale in all but name.

These three chapters also play out the same as canon.

Melvinborg becomes part of the MISFARTS, given the rather snappy nickname of College Melvin, and gets a pure black baseball cap on. This slight wardrobe change is permanent.

Melvinborg discovers a new talent, and even stands up to his past self with a reason you suck speech. However, he's still a villain, and the fic ends with him wanting to get revenge against George and Harold for making him a student.

Wrap up

Writing this AU was a blast.

I don't plan on making a fic for this universe's season 4, but I wrote an outline on how it would go. And I'm not planning on making a fanfic for this universe's anything else after TETOCU season 3….

BTW, my least favorite chapter is chapter 4 (technically chapter 3 if you don't count the prologue).

【CU Dream AU Part2】

Part1↓

"......" Mr. Krupp sat in the middle of the room, thinking about today. Last night, he had planned to blame George and Harold for turning himself into Captain Underpants in his dream. And then he despaired of Captain Underpants. But what about reality? When he woke up, he had forgotten all about his dream. What's more, Captain Underpants looks happy. "......you look awfully happy, don't you?" "Yeah, I know last night I had a lot on my mind, didn't I? But I was relieved to see them today. The boys seem to love me with all their hearts. And I...I love the boys with all my heart. I didn't need to doubt them. Besides, I'll forget about it when I wake up, so all the time I spent worrying about it was for nothing." Captain Underpants put his hand on his chest and smiled. "Ohhh, that's really good......I just exposed my perversion! Damn it!" Mr. Krupp kicked the wall with all his might. But the wall was solid and would not budge. "I punched it, too, but it wouldn't budge." Captain Underpants said as he ate a piece of chocolate. "I'm going crazy being alone with an idiot like you, even if it's just in a dream. ...... What's that?" "This? I was thinking that I wanted to eat chocolate and then it appeared. It's amazing, isn't it?" "You thought of that, and then it came up. ......? Oh yeah!" Mr. Krupp raised his voice as he said this. 'George! Harold! Come out!" ...... but nothing happened. 'What.....? Harold! George! Hey! Harold Hutchins! George Beard!!!" He call the two abominable names several times, but still nothing happens in the room. "...... Edith! Mener! Ribble!" Calling the names of other humans, he finally understood that "Can't make humans appear". "......haaaaaaaaaa......." He lay down after a series of unpleasantries. "Well...They're teachers, right? I was so happy to think I could throw a party, but I guess we can't." "I envy ...... you're optimistic ......" Mr. Krupp muttered as he looked at Captain Underpants, whose mouth was covered in chocolate. "Do you want some chocolate?" "No thanks......"

●

Today, again, he couldn't remember. Mr. Krupp stared at the wall, not feeling like doing anything. Then Captain Underpants tapped him on the shoulder. When Mr. Krupp turned around, he had a bowl full of guacamole. "...... guacamole! Why ......?" "Cause you ate a lot of it today. You like it, right?" "...... Oh." I see. So you can understand this kind of thing because the memory is shared. But I don't know what we were thinking and acting at that time. Mr. Krupp took a spoonful of it into his mouth with mixed feelings. "...Delicious." Captain Underpants looked at Mr. Krupp with a smile. Then he opened his mouth. "Hey, come talk to me." "I talk with you?" "We forget what happened here when we wake up, so let's make it a pleasant dream. A pleasant dream...... Mr. Krupp pondered. When was the last time you had such a dream? "I think you're not good for the boys and the other kids... but I can tell, somehow, that you're really a good guy." "...... you're a softy." It's not a bad idea to spend some time with this freak. Mr. Krupp snapped his fingers and two chairs appeared in the principal's office. "Let's sit here and talk. It's a very comfortable seat. You already know that." "Oh, yeah! I like this chair too, it's so comfortable!" Thus began their strange relationship in a dream.
