We're Getting That Fucking Cat

Ticci Toby and Jeff the Killer go on a date to the carnival.

4.7k words

tw: frequent use of the f-slur because jeff interacts with a gay person, and one use of the r-slur but i swear it's actually funny.

The sidewalk was covered in gum and melted ice cream, and the air was loud with screams. Just like how Toby and Jeff liked it. Toby stopped to look at the prizes on a carnival game, his normally tired, brown eyes wide with excitement behind a pair of orange goggles as he watched a teenager fail horribly at the axe-throwing game in front of what seemed to be their girlfriend. His head jerked to the side involuntarily, and he tugged at the fabric mask he'd put on to cover the giant gash in his cheek as it warmed his face in the summer heat. Jeff hadn't bothered to cover his face at all. His body was covered in scars, only the nasty Glasgow smile across his face being self-inflicted, and his face was burnt completely white. His eyes were bloodshot and he didn't seem to blink as he stood next to Toby with a smile. "You gonna win that giant cat?"

"I'm gonna--WOAH--win that giant cat." Toby said. His eyes were fixated on a huge plushie of a calico cat strung up by its neck in the corner of the tent. Jeff pulled from the stash of stolen wallets in his hoodie pocket and whipped out a twenty dollar bill. "Get her ass."

Toby stepped forward and slammed the bill on the counter excitedly while Jeff watched from a distance, his hands in his pockets, until he felt a gentle tug on his skinny jeans. He looked down to see a child, way too young to be unsupervised.

"Excuse me, Mr. Clown," The child asked adorably, "Do you do balloon animals, please?"

Jeff stared down at the kid for a moment, a bit dumbfounded, before juking them. They ran off with an avalanche of screams and tears. Jeff laughed loudly, "Stupid kid."

Toby took the toy axe in his hands and spun it around in his hands for a moment as he got a sense for the weight and balance. Jeff walked up behind him and leaned against the pole of the tent before he felt it shift and quickly stood up straight.

The game employee's eyes shifted nervously towards Jeff every once in a while as he tried to keep his eyes on Toby.

Toby flung the axe expertly over his shoulder and stuck it into the center of the target with a loud thud. "Good job!" The employee said with a raised eyebrow. Toby marched forward and plucked the axe from its spot to perform the same feat four more times.

"Fuck yeah!" Toby's neck jerked again as he pointed to the cat, "Gimme that one!"

The employee's smile faltered a bit as he cleared his throat, his eyes still darting between Toby and Jeff, "You actually need fifty points for that one."

"What?!" Jeff shouted. Toby followed suit, "Oh fuck off! How many did I get?"

The employee stared at Toby fearfully for a moment. "F-five."

Jeff threw his hands up, "That cat is not worth...fifty dollars?"

Toby counted on his fingers before shouting, "You want me to pay you five hundred dollars?!"

The employee furrowed his brow and counted on his fingers, trying to check their math and rolled his eyes at the answer, "Look, I just work here, okay? You can get one of the smaller ones or you can play again."

Jeff stepped forward angrily and shoved the employee before Toby grabbed his shoulder. "Dude," Toby clicked his tongue, "I don't want to get kicked out--FUCK--yet!"

Jeff huffed and backed off. He rolled his eyes and flipped off the employee as he grabbed Toby's arm and the two disappeared into the crowd.

"Dude," Toby scolded and jerked his neck again, "Are you fucking stuh-stupid?"

Jeff smiled, "No, I just act like it." He glanced back at the tent to make sure they weren't followed and held out the game employee's badge. Toby grinned mischievously and shook Jeff's shoulder. "Shit, alright. Sorry I--bark--doubted you."

"I forgive you," Jeff stowed the badge away in his pockets, "Actually, I'll forgive you if you can snag us a free churro." He nodded towards a churro stand with a teenage girl running the register. Toby smirked and adjusted his mask. "For sure."

Toby walked up to the counter and lifted his goggles. "Hey!" He said cheerfully and smiled with his eyes, "I've got a quick question, if that's alright."

The girl smiled back, "Yeah, what's up?"

Toby's head jerked to the side a bit as he slipped the right side of his mask off, casually resting his head in his hand to cover the off-putting gash on his left cheek. "My, uh...my brother over there, he's got brain damage from a nasty car accident, and this is his first venture out of the house in, like, months since our parents died."

"Oh no!" The girl's eyes widened, "That's real nice of you." She looked over Toby's shoulder and saw Jeff laughing at one of the driver's licenses he'd stolen. She grimaced a bit at his face, but immediately felt bad and looked back at Toby.

Toby smiled and clicked his tongue, "Oh, it's nothing-g. He's a sweet kid. I've got a dilemma, though, that I was hoping you could help me with."

The girl's eyes darted from Toby's freckles, to his lips, then to his eyes as he twitched again. Toby continued, "He spent all our money on a carnival game and we barely have enough to get home. It'd make his day real special if he could try a churro for the first time."

The girl gasped slightly, "He's never had a churro?" Toby nodded his head, feigning sympathy, "The home he's been in doesn't let him go out a lot."

The girl only briefly glanced at the camera above her before practically shoving two churros into Toby's arms. Toby flipped his mask back over his face and acted shocked by the girl's kindness, "Oh my god-d, thank you! Your secret's safe with me." Toby started to walk away, but turned on his heels, keeping his smile wide, "Quick question, actually. I heard there was a really good ride next to the warehouses. Do you know where that is?"

The girl pointed, "The Bat Cave is that way, just past the children's rides."

Toby put his hand over his chest, "Thank you so much. Have a fantastic day." He waved and turned around, relaxing his face and rolling his eyes. He shoved the churro into Jeff's hand. "Holy shit, I'm guh-glad you're good at looking--FUCK--fucking stupid."

"Why?" Jeff chomped down on the churro and frowned, "Shit, it's cold in the middle."

"Cope," Toby bit into his and it was warm all the way through. He broke it in half and handed the other part to Jeff. "Warehouses are that way," Toby pointed where the girl had led them, "Should we wait until it's dark or just go for it?"

Jeff hummed in delight as he bit into the warm churro. "I was hoping we could bully some kid on the bumper cars before we go." Jeff nodded towards a line that wrapped around four times over, "Think you can get us past the line?"

Toby rolled his eyes and finally lowered his mask all the way to eat, "You seem to think I'm a lot more charming than I am. The 'yuh-younger brother disabled from a horrific ca-car wreck' story only gets us s-so far." He clicked his tongue and jerked his head.

"That's what you've been using?! That's a cheap shot!"

"Dude, I haven't seen anyone over eighteen work-king these stands. Flirting with kids is a good--SHIT--way to get kicked out."

Jeff rolled his eyes and grumbled, "I fucking hate having to play nice just to ride some stupid rollercoasters."

"You wanna just bribe him?"

"I'm not bribing someone over bumper cars. The liquor store's on the way back; I want to stock up." Jeff pointed at the Ferris wheel, "What about that one? Line's short. It's getting dark, we'll be able to see the city lights."

Toby smirked and clicked his tongue jokingly, "W--WOW--city lights and a trip to the liquor store? Gonna buy a nice rosé and have a kuh-candlelit dinner?"

Jeff shoved Toby and tossed his churro wrapper in the trash, "We still need to break into the warehouse, fag."

Toby laughed and finished the rest of his churro. He asked with his mouth full, "When do the game tents close?"

"I saw one close, already," Jeff said, "They made the poor kid haul everything into the warehouse."

"W-what? Why don't we just steal from the tent di-directly, then? Before they close completely?"

"More options, for one," Jeff shrugged, "But I figured we could get a ride home from one of those kids' lockers."

Toby grimaced, "I-I really don't--WOO--like driving," His ticks got more aggressive at the thought. Jeff thought for a moment as they approached the short line to the Ferris wheel, "I mean, we can take the train again if you really want to, but it's a thirty minute trip with a car versus five hours if we bike from the train station."

"My bike's h-here," Toby scratched the back of his neck, "How--WOW--would we get it back?"

Jeff lowered his voice a bit, "You think none of these kids are driving Mommy's SUV? I'll snag one with one of those fancy FOB keys. We'll shove it in the back, drive to the edge of the woods, and walk it back like nothing happened."

Toby paused as they sat down and let the ride operator lower the bar in front of them. "You're driving--"

"I'm driving," Jeff laughed, "You'd crash--" He cut himself off as Toby's face dropped. Jeff wrapped his arm around Toby briefly and shook him in a silent, masculine, guarded attempt to reassure him without having to apologize. "You wouldn't crash. I'm not gonna crash it, either."

Toby chuckled quietly and took his mask off as they were lifted into the air. "You're dumb as shit."

"Shit, and I'm not even the cute one," Jeff smiled. A small brush of relief rushed through him as Toby took off his goggles, showed his full face, and laughed, "That's the closest thuh-thing to a compliment I've ever heard come--come out of your--click--maw."

Jeff rolled his eyes and turned away. "Don't get used to it."

"Wouldn't dream of it," Toby smirked smugly and looked out at the city lights. "Shit," He muttered, "They r-really lit this place up."

Jeff leaned over to look as well. He nodded. "Huh," He muttered, "Sometimes I forget humans don't have night vision."

"You think they'd for-forget the lights entirely if they did?" Toby asked, leaning back so Jeff could hear him as a quick breeze flew past their ears. The ferris wheel stopped them at the top as a new set of people climbed on and off at the bottom.

Toby shrugged, "Cuz we still have lights at the manor."

Jeff scooted closer to get a better view. "I mean...it's not bad-looking."

Toby smiled mischievously. "Y-you're not bad-looking," He teased. Jeff rolled his eyes, more dramatically this time, and fought back a smile, "Ah, fuck off."

Toby looked at Jeff and scooted closer, his arrogant grin growing wider as he lowered his voice.

"I could always fuck you, instead."

Jeff's face turned bright red and he staggered backwards, completely floored by the sudden change in tone. Toby scooted closer until Jeff was pressed against the side of the bench, and didn't so much as flinch as he stared Jeff down with an equal amount of smugness and desire. Toby laughed quietly and leaned in closer, "You're r-real cute when you're--"

"I will throw us both off this Ferris wheel, I swear to god."

The carriage started moving again and Toby sat back up, arms crossed and a conceited grin plastered across his face. Jeff rolled his eyes and grumbled, "You're getting a big head."

Toby faked a cough, "I've got another big head for you--who said th-that?"

Jeff jumped in his seat again but couldn't hold back his smile anymore. "I am not against domestic violence, Erin!"

Toby tried to choke out another flirtatious response, but between his ticks and the way he doubled over in laughter when he watched Jeff pull his hoodie over his face, he couldn't. "Sh-sh-sh--click--FUCK--show--"

"I'll show you domestic violence!" Jeff hugged the side of the bench and started kicking Toby away. They both laughed crazily as they made another trip around and stopped at the top of the Ferris wheel again; and by the time Jeff sat back up in his seat, Toby had calmed down as well. Toby sighed, "I'm just fucking with you."

"Damn," Jeff pulled his hood over his face as a chilled breeze flushed past the two, "And here I was hoping you were a fucking fag."

Toby blushed and pinched the bridge of his nose, his grin growing again. "Jeff, what the fuck am I supposed to suh-say to that without making you go fuck--FUCK--fucking feral?"

"I'm flustered!" Jeff threw his hands in the air then tightly crossed his arms, "Fuck do you want from me!"

Toby cleared his throat dramatically, "I mean, if--if you're offering..." He leaned over and rested his head on Jeff's shoulder. Jeff tensed up for a moment before hesitantly resting his head on Toby's, arms still crossed.

Toby smiled, "This is n--click--nice."

Jeff sighed and muttered, "Yeah...thanks for dragging me out here."

"Thanks for--for stealing that badge. I w-want to shove--click--firecrackers into that cat's asshole."

"God, that thing's probably so flammable," Jeff sighed like someone remembering their wedding night. Toby agreed, "They never p-put in the work to--WOO--make that cheap crap flame-retarded."

The carriage started moving again and the two had to force themselves apart before they were guided off the ride by an extremely unnerved ride attendant.

"Where are we going, again?" Toby asked. Jeff pointed towards the back of the park. "We can probably just follow the kids in uniforms. Pretty sure it's their bed-time." They moved down the darkest path with their hands in their pockets, bumping each other's shoulders occasionally as they walked. "For the record," Jeff asked, his step quickening slightly into an excited hop, "We don't have to worry about getting kicked out, anymore. Right?"

"I mean--" Toby nodded his head back and forth in silent debate, "We can still get banned."

"This place is stupid, anyway," Jeff grumbled.

"I had fuh-fun," Toby shrugged, "Plus, we're ab-bout to have a lot--click--more." He turned around and walked backwards to look at Jeff. "You guh-gonna steal us a nice car?"

"You're in?" Jeff's eyes lit up. Toby nodded quickly. "Train doesn't st-stop at the liquor store. We've got en-nough for--WOW--some crown apple in there." He gestured to Jeff's hoodie pocket, distended with wallets. Jeff looked down, "I really should've just taken the cash out and tossed the wallets, huh?"

Toby snickered and shrugged, "Sometimes there's guh-gift cards in there. Plus," He clapped, "I bet at least one of those has some picture of their kids. We could burn those."

Jeff laughed loudly but quickly shut up as they approached the sharp light of the warehouse door, catching the attention of a security guard standing by the door scanner. Jeff handed Toby the badge and Toby briefly glanced at it before stepping in front and scanning the badge casually.

"Hey," The guard stopped him. Toby acted surprised. "Hm?" He showed the badge to the guard, who looked at it suspiciously. "You don't look like him."

Toby lowered his mask, pretending like he was trying to hide the scar while making sure the guard got a good look at it. "Yeah, uh..." He chuckled sheepishly, "That picture was t-taken--click--before the accident."

The guard's face flushed with embarrassment. His gaze quickly darted between the picture on the card and Toby's face, which looked nothing alike. "Uh--um--uh, what's your name?"

"Beck Matthews," Toby answered.

"G-go ahead and scan again." The guard nodded Toby through. He looked at Jeff, "Where's your badge?"

"Lost it." Jeff said flatly, staring casually at the guard. His appearance sent a chill through the guard's spine and he ushered him inside as well, just wanting the interaction to end.

The warehouse was dusty to say the least. Fluorescent lights flickered ominously as they walked in, revealing shelves upon shelves of cleaning supplies, vacuum sealed stuffed animals, and enough park merchandise to clothe a small city. Toby checked his hands and tapped his pockets, looking for the ID card he'd just had. Jeff held it up. "Split up?" He asked. Toby's face softened in relief as he realized he hadn't lost it. "You get the car, I get the cat?"

Jeff nodded and looked around briefly, "They've got to have, like, a bin of the opened prizes around here. I'll be back here in a few minutes." Toby gave him a thumbs up and they slunk away in opposite directions, Jeff following the warm light of the break room doorway, and Toby disappearing into the ocean of overpriced crap.

The break room was swimming with the younger employees packing up for the night. Jeff tugged on the strings of his hoodie to hide his face more and looked around for the richest kid he could find. A girl with a full face, a boy with an uncannily neat haircut, anyone with some kind fancy jewelry. He spotted a bleach blonde girl with a fake tan and bright pink lip gloss. Jagged bump in her back pocket. Bingo. His smirk was barely noticeable between the thick scars against his lips.

He slid through the crowd of people like a snake through a field of grass and slipped his hand in and out of her back pocket, flipping the keys up into his sleeve. Immediately, she swung her head around, flicking Jeff's face with her hair. "Excuse me?!" She shouted. Jeff kept walking. The girl didn't let up. "Uh, hello? That guy just grabbed my ass!"

Jeff raised his eyebrows, offended. He knew he was better than that. He'd barely grazed her. He walked faster, knocking into a few people on his way through the crowd.

"Fuck," He muttered as a guard started to follow him. He knew he had to turn around at some point. There was only one way back to the warehouse.

Some other kid was twirling his keys around with his finger and Jeff snatched them up, just in case, before pushing his legs into a jog. The crowd parted as the guard to barrelled closer.

Jeff made a sharp turn into a bathroom. The noise of screaming girls startled everyone that wasn't already aware of what was happening as Jeff vaulted on top of one of the stalls and climbed into the ceiling tiles.

"He climbed into the ceiling!" Their screams were like music blasting through the raging sound of Jeff's heartbeat.

Toby jogged around the warehouse, looking for anything familiar. The bins had to be separated by game. He scratched his head and remembered that there were cats, which wasn't very helpful.

After a few minutes he knew he couldn't afford, he finally just guessed and dove into the nearest bin. The stuffed animals went flying from his twitching hands as he dug through it like a dog. Nothing caught his eye. Next one. Next one. The warehouse looked like Santa's toy shop by the time Toby had struck gold. That stupid cat was buried at the bottom of a pile of tiny, unwanted stuffed clowns, and Toby wasted no time before holding the cat over his head and cackling with joy like it was the newborn Christ.

He started to run off towards the back exit but was interrupted by a deafening clanging sound and a loud "Fuck! ". Jeff's body fell through the ceiling like a ragdoll and onto the top of the towering metal shelf, showering the both of them in grey dust as a ceiling tile disintegrated above them.

Toby shouted, "What the fuck happened?!"

"Fucking run!" Jeff cackled. He stood up on the shelf and started trying to climb down when he felt the steel under his feet start to shift. "Oh my fucking god!" He laughed wildly as the adrenaline shoved him forward before the shelf fell backwards. He tried to tuck and roll when he hit the ground like he'd seen on TV, and fell hard on his back as the shelves collapsed against each other like massive, expensive dominoes. His wrist slammed against the concrete as he fell. He would have screamed bloody murder if he could breathe.

Toby ran up to him. "Holy sh-shit, are you okay?!"

Jeff gasped obsessively as his lungs refused to expand. He raised his hand in a shaky thumbs up. Toby took his hand and tried to pull him up, but Jeff's face contorted in pain and he jerked it back. He held out his other hand and finally took a deep breath in. He didn't have a chance to catch his breath or cradle his broken wrist before three security guards burst into the warehouse, weapons trained on them.

"Freeze!"

They didn't. Toby shoved the nearest guard to the side as Jeff hazily followed behind him, car keys poking against him from his skinny jeans as his legs seemed to move on their own. Toby grabbed his good hand and dragged him along with the giant stuffed cat under his other arm and a massive grin across his face. "Where's the parking--FUCK--lot?!"

"What?!"

"The--" A gunshot echoed through the dimly lit alley.

"Guns?!" Jeff shouted, "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

Toby cackled, "Just keep going!"

The two ducked around a corner. Jeff pointed to a turnstile at the end of a dimly lit sidewalk. It was surrounded by dumpsters, crates, and pallets. "Employee exit!"

"Employee exit!" Toby cheered. He kept his hand around Jeff's wrist, but Jeff had come back down to earth enough to catch up with him and sprinted at his side. Toby slammed his back against the turnstile and crushed the stuffed animal in his arms to pull it through as Jeff followed, laughing the whole way. "Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!" Toby repeated as the boys laid their eyes on the employee parking lot. They stood and caught their breath in front of the beguiling sight before the voice of one guard started shouting after them. "Wait!"

"Fuck no!" Jeff stumbled forward and scrambled for the keys in his right pocket. Toby reached into his left and they compared the keys.

"What kind of car did we need, again?"

"I don't remember," Jeff admitted, "I vote the Toyota."

Toby threw his set of keys behind him as Jeff pressed a button to alert them to where the car was. A sharp left and a spin around the side by Toby later, they had launched themselves into a black SUV and were speeding away.

"Get the headlights!" Jeff shouted as he set his left hand in his lap, urging the pain to stop shooting through him like he'd just stuck a fork in a power outlet. Toby fought with his seatbelt for a moment, quickly unbuckling it to reach over and flick on the lights just as they crashed through the barrier arm at the exit.

"Fuck!" Toby cried and shot back into his seat. He threw the seatbelt back over him with inhuman speed, "Don't fucking crash us!"

"I'm not gonna crash!" Jeff shouted, his brow furrowed with focus as he swerved through the guest parking lot with one hand. People were hiding behind parked cars, yanking their children out of the way, and running like they were on fire before Jeff was able to break through the last barrier arm and drift onto the road. The real road.

They ran a red light before swerving onto the freeway and Jeff sped up only slightly to keep up with the 75 mile per hour traffic. Toby screamed through gritted teeth as he realized what had just happened, his arm gripping onto the oh-my-god bar until his fingers were purple. "Y-you s--WOW--said-d you'd--FUCK--"

"I know, I know!" Jeff shouted, his body still in panic mode and his knuckles white on the wheel, "I tried! But, look, we're on the freeway, now!"

"I h-hate the fuck--FUCK--ing freeway!"

"Just breathe, dude!" Jeff shouted anxiously, "Just breathe!"

"You--oo breathe!" Toby screamed.

"I am breathing!" Jeff screamed back.

The two sat in silence for a minute, their grips relaxing and their breathing slowing. Toby spun around to look behind them and slumped in his seat when he didn't see any cop lights, his hand still on the handle. He sighed.

"Y-you still--still want to go to the liquor--WOW--store?"

"Are you bleeding?" The subtle smell of iron hit Jeff's nose. Toby scanned over his body, then felt around on his back. He felt a wet spot and pulled his bloodied hand back into his line of sight. "Huh," He shrugged, "I g-guess I am." He paused. "Y-you still want-t to go to the liquor store?"

Jeff leaned against the wooden support on the rotting, old porch of the manor, one arm in a sling and the other holding a brand new bottle of crown apple whiskey. Toby walked out the front door with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. His shirt was off and bandages circled around his stomach; a bullet-wound-sized patch of gauze on his back. He pulled something out of his pocket. "I g-got you this."

Jeff turned around and held out his hand for Toby to place a small clown plushie in his hand. It had shaggy black hair and a long, red smile painted on its face.

"It reminded me of-ff you." Toby smiled as he sat down next to Jeff. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and held it out to Jeff as he lit his own with his other hand. Jeff looked down at the clown plushie for a moment before setting it in his lap and taking a cigarette. "Fag," He muttered, hiding the smile creeping across his face.

"You wanna blow it up, too?" Toby asked. He leaned over gently and pressed his cigarette against Jeff's, lighting his as they inhaled together. Jeff exhaled smoke and smirked, keeping the close distance. "Nah," He said, "I think I'll keep it." Toby smirked, putting his cigarette down. "Fag."

They looked into each other's eyes for a moment, taking in every detail of the other. Toby's brown eyes, Jeff's chapped lips, the careful scarring around both of their cheeks. It felt hypnotic.

"You ready?" Toby grinned suddenly. Jeff nodded excitedly. They both turned to the giant calico cat plushie on the dirt a few yards away. Toby pressed a button on his phone and it flew into the air with a muffled bang, bursting into flames as it fell. The boys hooted and hollered like apes. They ended their celebration as the plushie landed a few feet away, sizzling as the fire died down, with a crisp high five, and cackled in each other's faces. As the remains of the plushie fizzled to a black husk, they high fived one more time before their laughter died down. They smiled and looked at each other again.

"Th-that was fun," Toby giggled. Jeff turned away and puffed his cigarette, still grinning, "Worth it."

"Worth it," Toby agreed. Jeff turned the clown plush in his hand softly as the cat burned to ashes in front of them. The smell of victory--burning plastic--wafted through the air.

Toby leaned in close and quickly planted a peck on Jeff's cheek, causing Jeff to jump in his seat, "Hey, hey, woah!" He looked at Toby, the plush still clutched against his chest as he leaned away. No one but Toby would have been able to recognize the incredibly subtle color that flushed to Jeff's cheeks.

"What?" Toby laughed.

Jeff stammered for a second. "You fuckin' fag."

Toby swiped the bottle of whiskey and leaned back on the steps as he took a swig, his eyes aimed down at the pile of withered ash. They sat in comfortable silence as the fire finally died and they turned their eyes up to the stars.

"City lights or stars?" Jeff asked. Toby scooted closer. "I like the stars."

"Yeah."

Jeff gasped suddenly, "Fuck, your bike!"

"Fuck dammit!" Toby groaned, threw his head back, and took another swig. "Whatever. I stole it a-anyw-way."

Can you give us CircusChoir headcanons🥺🥺

𝐼 𝒮𝑒𝑒 𝒴𝑜𝓊, 𝒪𝑜𝓂𝒻.

ANYWHO, YES I CAN!!! For now, I'll give some more basic ones because a couple others are MUUUCH longer and will. Likely take up a lot of space if I were to try putting them all together. I'll talk about how I view a relationship for 'em working out in another post because that'll also be LOOONG. LET'S GO. I WILL TALK ABOUT A SENTIENT BALLOON ANIMAL AND MUSIC BOX 🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵

[ 1 ] Considering Cosmo is teaching Boxten how to bake, I wouldn't doubt Boxten tries practicing the recipes he's taught whenever he has some free time. With that in mind, Looey ends up finding this out, most likely by looking for Boxten and finding him in the kitchen and he is SURPRISED and CURIOUS. He did NOT know Boxten was learning how to bake. He quickly asked if he could taste test his baking and Boxten saw no reason NOT to say yes. He needed a second opinion anyways. Upon Looey taking a bite, he liked it A LOT and. Quickly went to grab more, much to Boxten's surprise and shock. Seeing as Looey likes his baking a lot, Boxten decided that he'd go to Looey whenever he bakes a recipe as practice. So Looey is Boxten's unofficial taste tester for anything he attempts to make, and whenever Looey is called to try something out, he goes running because who wouldn't want free sweets and treats? He Also Doesn't Have To Share, so more for him. (Have a small doodle comic with it. )

MOVING ON!

[ 2 ] Half of this headcanon, I got from a moot, but Looey and Boxten have respective, subconscious reactions to being around the other, one more subtle than the other. Looey's is pretty typical; his tail starts wagging! And I don't mean swaying, no, it's an actual blur and looks like a big fan of yellow. If he had bones, he'd end up with a sprain sooner or later like what happened with a dog who sprained THEIR tail from excessive wagging. Boxten, on the other hand, the key on the back of his head spins a lot when talking to Looey. This part is the one I got from a moot. Since Boxten's key spins when he's focused on something, it does so when he's even just LISTENING to Looey. I do believe that Looey is the talker between the two, so he's just yapping to Boxten and the nervous aah music box is just. Sitting politely. Listening closely because he likes listening to Looey. 𝔅𝔢𝔠𝔞𝔲𝔰𝔢 𝔥𝔢'𝔰 𝔔 𝔘 𝔈 𝔈 ℜ

[3] Looey's compliments to Boxten are Not. Normal. And by that I mean, he will never give Boxten an actually decent compliment. And this is purely based on their interaction in the game. "You look nice today"? "You're really cute"? "That bandana looks nice on you"? No. None of that.

"Ｉｌｉｋｅｔｈｅｓｈａｄｅｏｆｐｕｒｐｌｅｙｏｕａｒｅ"? "Ｙｏｕｓｔａｎｄｉｎｇｔｈｅｒｅｍａｋｅｓｍｅｈａｐｐｙ"? "Ｉｌｉｋｅｔｈａｔｙｏｕｒｈｅａｄｉｓａｓｑｕａｒｅ"? Yes. That's what he'll say. And then he internally high-fives himself and goes "Nailed it!", as if that didn't just confuse the hell outta Boxten. But hey! It's the thought that counts! (Do Better, Looey.)

[4] These two. Are HELLA awkward when it comes to BIG physical contact/affection at all times. Of course, the usual side hug or leaning on the other is fine, but anything else? Time to go through 20 mental loops, a spiraling slide, and a rollercoaster with 25 drops to try figuring out if it's a good idea or not and if it'll make the other uncomfortable or if they'll miserably fail at physical contact, Boxten moreso than Looey, but Looey likely overthinks it occasionally, depending on what he's thinking of doing. What if they do something wrong and weird the other out? Or discomfort them? Or cross a boundary? What if they ruin everything with one single action? What i-(None of that will happen. They're Fine.)

[5] Related to the last headcanon, if you ask me, it'll take these fools at least a few months before they ACTUALLY kiss. At all. For the same reasons as the last one. Doesn't mean they don't think about it occasionally, but actually DOING IT? Out of the question, no way. It'll go horribly wrong and the other will laugh at them and call them weird or they'll embarrass themself. (They're overthinking again.) Give these idiots(/pos) some time. Both are new to this whole romance thing and they're LOSERS!!!!! (also /pos) In the meantime, they'll just settle with the occasional hug or lean-on. (I Am Laughing At Them.)

THAT'S ALL I GOT FOR RIGHT NOW!!! Do with this what you will. And You Can Ask Me More About Them Anytime. I Am Unnormal About Them.

Making AGSZC go to an amusement park together would be a spectacular view

Things That Happen At The Amusement Park

Genesis is excited to ride the zipper again, a ride notorious for being hard to handle. Except it's a two-person ride and Angeal refuses to go with him, citing that the last time he went on it, he met the goddess. Sephiroth unwisely offers to go with him. *Sephiroth and Genesis are strapped in before the ride starts* Sephiroth: You said this is a safe, ferris-wheel-type ride, correct? Genesis, lying: Absolutely. Sephiroth: Alright. I'm sure it's not so bad. After all, we're SOLDIER. We're trained to handle everything. *3 minutes into the ride, when they're being violently tossed around* Sephiroth: GENESIS YOU SON OF A BITCH Genesis: YOU KISS YOUR MOTHER WITH THAT MOUTH? Sephiroth: I'M ABOUT TO, WHEN I REUNITE WITH HER IN TWO MINUTES.

Zack finds a stand that sells deep-fried butter wrapped in bacon dipped in cheese, thinks he found heaven, and eats 13 before he starts looking green and Angeal confiscates it from him.

Angeal wants Cloud and Zack to take pictures with some theme park characters, so he ushers the boys towards them and coordinates a cute pose. Angeal: There, now smile—Zack stop crying, Kenny Crow can't hurt you. Zack, sobbing with Kenny Crow's arm gripped tightly around him: HELP

The boys meet up again to go on the drop ride together. What they don't tell you before you go on the ride, is that the more it creeps up to the sky, the more you're inclined to believe that you will die, so start confessing to everything. *Right before the drop* Sephiroth: Gentlemen, it has been an honor serving alongside you. Genesis, scared: STOP SAYING THAT! WE'RE NOT GONNA DIE! Zack: Okay! Cloud, remember that slice of pizza you were saving in the fridge? I ate it, man! I'm sorry! Sephiroth: There will be no pizza in heaven. Genesis, sobbing: STOP IT! Cloud: It's okay! Remember your favorite mug that mysteriously broke? That was me! Sephiroth: Creature comforts such as colorful mugs will not be available after death. Genesis, screaming: HELP

They lose Sephiroth in the park and split up trying to find him. It turns out Sephiroth got distracted by one of those carnival booth games where you win prizes if you can shoot at the targets. It's supposed to be rigged, but somehow Sephiroth shot all of them. *They finally locate Sephiroth* Zack: Thank GOD—What the heck is that?? *Sephiroth is holding a giant stuffed moogle* Sephiroth: The fruits of my labor.

Angeal ends up tying a balloon to Sephiroth's wrist. This is non-negotiable and Sephiroth now has to walk around the park with a shame balloon shaped like a dragon.

They visit a haunted house. Cloud: I'm not sure about this….It looks kinda dangerous. Zack: Don't be ridiculous, Cloud. What could be dangerous about some dumb kiddy haunted house that's filled with a bunch of actors in costumes? *10 minutes later* *All five of them run out screaming, being chased by an evil clown with a chainsaw* Genesis: SEPHIROTH RUN! Sephiroth: I'm not bothered by the evil clown. If anything he reminds me of you before you have your morning coffee.

Genesis, offended, takes a swing at Sephiroth. Angeal, Zack and Cloud come back for them and find the evil clown separating the two, who are fighting.

Then they go on a roller coaster. It's all fun and games until the carts get stuck at the very top right before the drop. Genesis gets bored very easily and starts reciting Loveless. Angeal did not know rage until he was in this situation. *Zack starts crying because he can't take it anymore* Genesis: Aww, Puppy? Have I moved you to tears? I'll start over from the top. When the war of the beats brings about the world's end…." *Zack screams and sobs harder*

They visit the gift shop to buy souvenirs. Angeal walks out with shot glasses, Genesis with an expensive notebook, and Zack and Cloud with more stuffed animals and figurines they can carry.

The only thing that appeals to Sephiroth is a set of 5 keychains, each shaped like puzzle pieces that connect to each other.

rui facts that are common knowledge atp but i just feel like repeating

hates vegetables because of their texture, and dislikes anything that has similar texture to certain vegetables. example: he hates watermelon because apparently to him the texture is just like a cucumber's? he's not very fond of many fruits either, albeit he dislikes them less than vegetables

only eats at places he's a regular at and becomes distressed when the menu changes. he picks off all vegetables from his food and sometimes emu helps him and eats anything he doesn't like

preferred rivers and lakes over pools as a kid. he would search for shiny rocks and the like in these rivers and lakes and show nene his discoveries

he owned many encyclopedias as a kid. one of them being one about poisonous plants. it had a bright red cover that scared nene LMAO but he read it over and over so now he can recognize which plants are poisonous or not

favourite animal is the platypus because he finds the fact that they are egg-laying mammals interesting

owns three monitors. has a tablet (owned this tablet since he was a kid) and a phone

horrible at packing! he's always thinking about worst case scenarios and possible hypotheticals that could occur during his travels, causing him to overpack and not use half of the things he brings. he mentions that this was the case when he went to america with wxs, and he struggled with the same problem when he was trying to pack for his kyoto trip in pandemonium

his favourite show he performed with wxs was the little mermaid. the show that made him feel the most nervous was a pianist named torpe, and the show that left the strongest impression on him was the one tsukasa performed with the others to convince him to join wxs again

dislikes cleaning because he finds it pointless when his room just becomes cluttered again sooner or later

worst sleep schedule known to man. has been scolded by wxs for coming to rehearsal with horrible eye bags

he people watches a lot. very observant of his environment and uses anything that catches his attention as inspiration for shows and other stories. this can be seen in island panic, where he makes up an entire possible conversation between three monkeys he was observing and in the area convo where he views students fighting to buy bread at the tuck shop as a metaphor for human nature and survival

his role model and inspiration is a director named tom gray! he watched interviews of him and read his books over and over

enjoyer of sci-fi

eats his taiyaki by first splitting it in half to avoid burning his mouth with the hot bean paste. interestingly enough, it is said in japan that the first bite you take in taiyaki determines your personality. rui breaks his taiyaki first before eating, making him a "person of action."

he deepened his interest for shows as a kid by imagining how he would adapt his favourite books into stage productions

there's a specific stool in his room that has remained since his childhood. also an orange box of toys(?) It seems

on the other hand, several aspects of his childhood room have changed: his lampshades are in the shapes of flowers now, his couch is patched up in blue, and he has multiple streamers and balloons. the balloons have little faces on them btw. he also installed a clock. the step ladder near his bookshelf is gone too from what i can see

ok that's all i can think of from the top of my head, hopefully none of these are incorrect,, i'll be very sad if something is wrong. if you know any fun rui facts that aren't listed above PLEASE enlighten me

This opening is replete with symbolism.

Flower language has been a recent fascination of mine.

Do you want to make my new hyperfixation your problem? If so, then let's take a deep dive into the first opening before the new one airs tomorrow.

Before I start, here are a couple of things to keep in mind.

While the use of flower language in this show mostly lines up with Japanese hanakotoba, there are still a number of flowers here that hold particular significance within Chinese culture, and thus have additional meanings that don't line up with those from Japan. I’ll be mentioning them alongside the Japanese meanings where I deem it relevant.

The following will contain light spoilers of content from the novels/manga which has not been animated at the time of writing. I'll try to be vague and sparing with it, but there are a few flowers I can't discuss without them.

Past the title card, the opening begins with eight blooming flowers dancing through the frame in rapid succession. These represent the storylines covered by the first cour of the anime in order of appearance, and each can be found in the episode(s) they signify. From the top:

Rhododendron: This plant is all over the first two episodes, so I'm going to cover its appearances before delving into its meaning. In episode one, there are two shots of the buds of this plant, one as Lihua gives birth, and then again as the doctor examines her baby. They're finally shown in full bloom as one of her ladies disregards the branch Maomao used to warn of the toxic makeup. In the following episode, Gyokuyou has seemingly taken a liking to the flower that saved her daughter's life, and a few clusters can be seen in a vase during several shots before Maomao uses them as an example of a seemingly innocuous plant that could cause accidental poisoning, and indeed, if you look closely at the background during the scene with the soldiers, you can see what appear to be rhododendron shrubs. There are actually quite a few different possible meanings for the many granular varieties of Rhododendrons/azaleas. Luckily, the characters said the name of the plant out loud for me: shakunage. So, this is Rhododendron subg. Hymenanthes. In hanakotoba it means dignity and majesty, but also, on account of its poison, danger and caution. Those last two meanings clearly line up with its ominous usage in these first episodes, growing and maturing as the babies grew sicker. But in addition to their function as a warning of danger, I think there's a case to be made that they also represent Gyokuyou herself. As I stated earlier, she starts keeping them after the first episode, and Hongniang later starts growing the closely-related azaleas in the jade pavilion as well. As for how its meanings apply to her, Gyokuyou is regal, magnanimous, and never loses her composure (unless it's at Jinshi's expense lol,) but she's also described by Gaoshun as shrewd and cautious, being unwilling to hire any lady she doesn't absolutely trust, and constantly gleaning information to send back to her family. These all fit with the dual meanings of rhododendron. In Chinese culture, rhododendrons and azaleas represent womanhood and passion, as well as home and a desire for homecoming.

Cotton rose: A type of hibiscus, this represents Fuyou, decorating both her person and her chambers in episode 3. It means 'delicate beauty' and 'graceful lover.' I think these are referring to both her skill in dancing, as well as her affectation of frailty and neuroticism. As far as I could dig up, its unique tendency to change color based on the time of day doesn't have particular bearing on its meaning in either Chinese or Japanese culture, but the story itself uses it as a metaphor for Fuyou hiding her passion, will, and cunning behind a wallflower exterior.

Balloon flower: In hanakotoba, it represents undying love, sincerity, and grace. These grow in the crystal pavilion, adorn the iconography of Lihua's furniture, and likely inform her blue and violet color scheme. Its last two descriptors gesture towards Lihua's style and personality. She's elegant and staid, but she also takes everything quite seriously, and wears her heart on her sleeve. As for the undying love element, I see that as alluding to her love for her son, her agony at his passing, and her hopes of reclaiming that love again through having another child.

Violet: This one actually tripped me up for the longest time. The flowers in the opening looked like hostas to me, but no matter how closely I looked at the backgrounds in this show, I couldn’t find anything along those lines. Eventually though, I caught on that these must be the violets from episode five, even if they’re a different color from those shown in the episode. And also droopier. Anyway, violets mean humility, sincerity, and ‘a little bit of happiness.’ In the episode proper, they are crushed underfoot as Maomao narrates about the lengths she had to go to keep herself safe while growing up in the red-light district, illustrating how even the modest aspirations of an ordinary peasant are in perpetual danger in such a cutthroat environment.

Chinese aster: Daisies and asters are my least favorite flowers to identify. They all look the same. As such, I’m a little less confident about this one, but I think it’s a Chinese aster. The leaves and buds look similar, and the context in which it appears in episode six suits its meaning. As Lishu’s ladies disparage her so-called pickiness, a shot of this flower opens the episode. While the Chinese aster’s meaning changes based on color, white in particular means ‘please believe me.’ I think that speaks for itself

Toad lily: This appears twice during episode eight, where Maomao gets drawn into the mystery of an attempted murder during her vacation. Toad lilies symbolize hidden thoughts and intentions, alluding both to the possible conspiracy on the part of the women of the brothel, and to the fact that Maomao will never really know the truth of the incident, having to content herself with speculation.

Sacred bamboo: This one is easy to miss, because while the plant is in full bloom in the opening, it’s laden with berries in the show proper. This is Nandina, a.k.a. the sacred bamboo, a mainstay of autumn and winter floral arrangements in both China and Japan. It’s considered auspicious, symbolizing a reversal of ill fortune into prosperity--the precise opposite of how it’s presented in episode nine of the show. There, Maomao fiddles with the plant as she contemplates all the instances she’s seen of good fortune being struck down by tragedy, and the prospect of that same sword of Damocles falling upon her head as well, a harbinger of eucatasrophe being used to symbolize straight catastrophe. Also worth noting is the fact that the plant is very poisonous, so much so that it has a reputation for killing any birds which try to eat its berries; I think that bit of trivia might be the inspiration behind the decision to ironically invert its lucky image. In addition to its central appearance in episode nine, it can also be seen in Lishu’s chambers in episode ten, mixed in among the vases of white camellias.

Japanese azalea: These mean passion and steadfastness, alluding, in my view, to Fengming’s devotion towards Ah-duo. Fun fact: did you know that honey made from toxic azaleas, termed ‘mad honey,’ is sometimes manufactured on purpose? It’s not super legal in most of the world, but apparently it can be used as a psychedelic.

After this, we see a panning shot of seven flowers, with the top four representing the high-ranking concubines, and the bottom three representing the high-ranking courtesans. While the first set of flowers grew from buds and flew across the screen, this set consists of still images. If I were to hazard a guess as to why, I'd say that it's because those previous flowers were conveying the movement of emergent stories, while these upcoming flowers portray the relatively static personality traits of individual characters. I'm going to tackle these in reverse order, as the first three flowers to appear are somewhat tricky to talk about.

Peony: This flower represents Gyokuyou, and in addition to appearing in her non-diegetic floral backgrounds, it also decorates the tapestries of the jade pavilion. In Chinese culture, peonies are one of, if not the most, important flowers. They represent feminine beauty, pride, honor, renown, wealth, prosperity, high-status, opulence, and a nobility of spirit. They are considered to be the king of flowers, and were historically only permitted to be grown by nobility. All of these superlatives are likely alluding towards Gyokuyou's status as the emperor's favorite consort, with the best shot at becoming empress.

Balloon flower: See above.

Lily-of-the-valley: This means purity, chastity, humility, and 'happiness will come again.' While the first three all seem to fit Lishu on their face, I find myself curious about the fourth meaning. I'm only partway through the third novel, but if this indicates that, at some point in the future, Lishu finally catches a break, then I'll certainly be happy to see it.

Dendrobium: In China, orchids in general are associated with elegance, refinement, and good taste, which fits with Maomao's description of the garnet pavilion as being beautiful in a minimalist sort of way. They also represent the virtues of an ideal gentleman-scholar: integrity, humility, temperance, and nobility. Furthermore, they are considered emblematic of spring; it, along with bamboo, chrysanthemum, and plum blossom, represent the four seasons. Returning to Japanese symbolism, the flower associated with Ah-duo seems to specifically be Dendrobium nobile. Nobile in particular means 'honest and to-the-point' in hanakotoba, likely alluding to Ah-duo's candid personality, and the fact that she is on casual terms with the emperor.

Regarding the final three flowers, the show itself doesn't explicitly tie any one of them to a particular courtesan--their flowers only appear as a group in episode twelve. But, by contemplating their meanings, and with some help from the characters' wiki pages, we can make some educated guesses.

Yulan Magnolia: This one, I'm guessing, represents Joka. On one hand, I'm kind of dumping her with this because the other two flowers just seem to fit the other two courtesans better, but its attributes nonetheless seem to accord what we know of her character--which admittedly isn't very much. In hanakotoba the yulan magnolia means nobility, sublimity and a love of nature. In China, its pretty similar: purity, nobility, dignity. It's also worth noting that they're commonly planted around Buddhist temples in China, and have been for many centuries, granting them an air of spiritual profundity. Joka is said to be aloof and cold, which is part of her appeal as a courtesan. While chrysanthemums and plum blossoms have a warmer aspect to their meanings, the loftiness of magnolia hews more closely to her characterization. Then there's the matter of her name, which is apparently a stage name. It translates to 'Lady Ka' (or 'Hua,' if you want to go with the Mandarin pronunciation.) Now, the 'ka' in her name is written as 華, and in the story, that character is only permitted to be used by the emperor and his family. So, for her to use it, even as a stage name, is a pretty bold pretense to nobility.

Chrysanthemum: In Japan, chrysanthemums are associated with nobility and the imperial family. In China, they are associated with longevity, endurance, and vitality, on account of their long-lasting blooms that persist late into autumn. I think this is most likely to be Pairin's flower. She's one of the few courtesans who's in her line of work because she wants to be, and is flourishing in an environment where others are desperate and debt-ridden. That covers 'vitality,' and Lihaku can attest to her endurance, if you know what I mean... Moving on, its mentioned in the novels that she's actually in her thirties, but still looks quite young, again harkening to the chrysanthemum's persistence.

As far as symbolism is concerned, chrysanthemums do seem to fit her character better than magnolias. But, something that gives me pause is her name, which means 'white bell,' on account of yulan magnolias being white and having a bell-like shape. I still think it's most likely that the chrysanthemum, and not the magnolia, belongs to her, but it was too notable a coincidence to not at least mention.

Plum Blossom: We can safely assume this one refers to Meimei, as her name is written with the character for plum. As plum trees are among the earliest to bloom each year, and will even bloom while snow still covers their branches, both China and Japan associate them with resilience, hope, inner-strength, and renewal. We don't know much about Meimei either, but my impression of her is that she seems to be the nicest and most even-keeled of Maomao's sisters.

Following this parade of showy flowers, we finally glimpse the emblem of our protagonist, Oxalis corniculata, the creeping wood sorrel, downcast and huddled amidst the underbrush of a forest. Whereas the other flowers we've seen thus far are primarily ornamental (even if some are also edible/medicinal,) wood sorrel is herbaceous and weedy, and is unlikely to grace any vases, wreaths, or arrangements. If it were spotted in a noble's garden, it would likely be uprooted, but to the peasant who finds it growing in a ditch, it's a tasty snack.

In hanakotoba, wood sorrel means joy, 'shining heart,' and 'a mother's love.' All three descriptors, I believe, are relevant to Maomao's character. Despite her flat affect, Maomao has a strong passion and sense of joie de vivre driving her through life. Those further along in either the novels or the manga will recognize 'a mother's love' as (somewhat ironically) gesturing towards her complicated relationship with her mother. As for 'shining heart,' I think that will become apparent as we go further through the opening.

But, before we do that, I'd like to take a moment to examine the moments when wood sorrel appears in the show itself. Thus far, by my recollection, it has appeared in episodes one, three, and twelve. The opening shot of the first episode is of a wood sorrel, informing the viewer in no uncertain terms that this is Maomao's flower, (in case the opening was too subtle.) In the third episode, several wood sorrels dot the field where Fuyou sits with her lover, symbolizing how Maomao has aided and protected them. In episode twelve, a single wood sorrel is tucked inside a lavish bouquet of her sister's flowers, a visual gag paralleling them fussing and fawning over her.

Returning to the opening, Maomao is shown contemplating a subtle glow in her closed hands while a reflected, sunlit version of herself glances back at her. Then, as all the previous flowers fall away, as Maomao casts the light up into the air, its glow illuminating her face, the wood sorrel finally stands upright, and blooms in full.

Now is a good time to mention a relevant characteristic of creeping wood sorrel: it only blooms in direct sunlight. When crowded by other plants, it curls in on itself, closing both its flower and leaves. This serves as a clear metaphor for Maomao's personality; under most circumstances, she seeks to be invisible and unobtrusive, but when she's in her element, she commands attention and respect.

Following this, we have her magical girl-esque transformation sequence, with her outstretched hands forming the shape of a blooming flower as she dances through a whirl of yellow wood sorrel petals. She then bows down in imitation of the flower, taking the light back into her chest (there's that shining heart I mentioned earlier,) as she dissolves into the stoic, unassuming version of herself once more, closing out the opening. (Jinshi who?)

I'd like to end this analysis with an observation. While the real wood sorrel exists at the perpetual mercy of outside forces, Maomao is not merely reacting to a light source that exists beyond her control. The light exists within her, and she chooses when it will shine down for all to see, and when she will hide it away in the depths of her heart. To those who've gotten this far, thank you so much for reading.

can i fit every s1 script into one ask The following cartoon contains scenes of actual stupidity, some of the stunts which you are about to see were performed by animated objects! Do not try any of what you see here at home! Seriously, you could get really messed up! My name is Captain Christian Potenza, and I approve the following cartoon. Get Tooned, Be Tooned, and Stay Tooned! (laughs) Greetings and salutations! I am your host, MePhone4. And this is Inanimate Insanity! A show where these objects compete for ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS! The challenges they will face will be gross, disgusting, and deathly. So, you don't wanna miss this! Cut to elimination area You see, the team that loses each episode will have to vote off a contestant, and that contestant will leave the game, never to return, EV-ER. Cut to contestants So, it's time for their first challenge! Okay, so, the first challenge will be to jump off this 60 foot cliff, the first two contestants to jump off this cliff win and get to pick this season's teams. This should be easy. Oh yeah, one more thing. You must land into the safe zone filled with clean spring water, because if you don't, you will land in elephant feces. Um, what's feces? Feces: It's a nice word for crap, poop, dung, the kids in the pool. Ew, gross! If you fall into the elephant poop, you lose, and you cannot jump again. EV-ER. So, everyone ready? Well, actually, I had a question about-- (competely ignoring and interrupting them) START!!! Don't worry guys, I have loads of experience in jumping off cliffs. (jumps but lands in the elephant poop while screaming) And it looks like Pickle is out... in three seconds! That's just sad. That's disgusting! This challenge is mine! (jumps but falls very slowly) Oh, crap! This is not good! Come on, Salty-Salt, let's jump together! Off that? No way. But we are BCFFs! (Best Condiment Friends Forever) We have to be together. I'm sorry, Pepper, there is no way. No way that I'm doing that! Wait, Taco! Don't do it! NO! (Taco kicks Lightbulb, she falls into the water) Wow, Lightbulb actually wins, thanks to Taco! Thanks a lot, Taco. It's your fault Lightbulb WON! (kicks Taco, she lands in the feces) (Cut to Pepper jumping off the cliff) Ahh! (lands in the feces) Oh my God! I'll save you, Pepper! (Salt jumps off and lands on top of Pepper, they both sink in the feces) (Marshmallow jumps off the cliff and almost lands in the water, but suddenly defies gravity, moving towards the feces, and lands in it) Marshmallow's failure to use gravity correctly eliminates herself, so keep going! (1 hour and 409 seconds of doing nothing and pathetic failure later) Oh, come on! This should have been done a while ago...wait, is that a balloon? (cut to Balloon falling very slowly towards the water)Yes! I'm so close! (20 minutes later) (even closer to the water) Alright! (Eventually, with some fast-forwarding, Balloon makes it into the water) Balloon also wins! Which means... they can pick the teams! Alright! ...but next episode. WHAT!? Yeah, you heard correctly. Next episode. Oh, come on! (Credits, shows the elephant poop) Ugh, it smells so bad in here! It's elephant poop, it's not supposed to smell like roses. It's your fault, you know! Your... oh, what's the word...? Dumb! Your dumb jumping! We had to try! (grumbles) No, we didn't! When I get out of here, I swear-- (interrupts Salt) SOUR CREAM! That. Doesn't. MAKE. SENSE!

So then I was like, "Yeah," and then she was like, "No way!" ,and then, I was like, "Yeah way!", and she was like, "Oh my god, like, seriously? No way!", and then I was like, "Yeah girlfriend! Hey!", and then she was like, "Honey, please." You know, I really miss Pepper. It's been like, 1 hour, 27 minutes and 34 seconds since I last saw her. You counted? (sees Pepper and waves) Hey, Pepper! Salty Salt! Delightful music plays as they run towards each other in slow motion, until Salt runs into OJ. Intro plays Where did that attitude come from? Anyway Balloon, last time, you and Lightbulb jumped into the safe zone before the rest of the contestants, which means that you two get to pick the teams. OMG, really cool! Yeah! Thanks to Taco! SPRINKLES!!! So Lightbulb, you can choose first. How come he gets to choose first?! What about me? Well, if you remember, Lightbulb fell into the water before you, so he gets to choose first. Hmm... Nickel! Come over here, you get to be on my team! [walks to Lightbulb] You've made a wise decision, Lightbulb! You won't regret it. Well, I choose Pickle. After his brave cliff dive, I now realize that- Yeah, yeah. Enough with the 6-hour speeches! (walks to Balloon) Yeah! Chosen first?! That's awesome! Yeah, well, there's a 1st time for everything. And FYI, you were chosen second. *chuckles* Hmm, Nickel, how 'bout we choose Knife? He's strong, right? Fine, whatever. (walks to them) Yeah! You'd better choose me! Now I don't have to beat you up. *sarcastically, sighs* That's a relief. I was so terrified. *gets kicked* Ow! Hey Balloon, let's choose Taco! No way! Let's pick someone who's actually useful to the team! Taco, get over here! You can be on our team! What?! I didn't agree to that! [jumps to them] Paintbrush is tall, He can come in handy someday. Paintbrush is a guy? [walks to them] Yeah! OJ, buddy! Get over here. Baseball, get over here! You have to be on my team! Yeah, I agree Pepper. Let's choose Marshmallow! Oh great, A tiny weak object. Hey guys! How about we choose Salt? She's cool, right? No, not really. She's really (CENSORED). Let's choose Bomb! He has lots of "exploding" fun. *chuckles* That wasn't funny at all! Hmm... Paper, or Salt? Which one should we choose? Paper. He's cool. Plus, I don't feel like listening to Salts *imitates Salt from earlier*. Hurtful! Hey Salt! That means you get to be on my team now! Come on! Well... Hmm... Okay! Okay now, all of the contestants are assigned to teams. So ,each team, you have 1 minute to pick a time name. Just because we are so epic, how about Team Epic? Yeah! It's perfect! Okay, you guys are now Teeaaaaaaam Epic. And balloons team, choose a name please. CHICKEN LEG!!!!! Ok, Team CHICKEN LEG it is! WHAT!? NOOOO!!!!!!! Now that the teams are picked... we can move on to the challenge. (sarcastically) Finally. About time. Now back on track: If you noticed, there are two large lemon trees behind all of you. Hey, I found our tree! (kicks a tree) Get off my branches, you little turd! I'm an apple tree so just (censors) off. What the?! Those weren't there three seconds ago. No, they were not, and I'm talking about the trees over there that DON'T talk. Luckily, we had an app for that. Anyway, you guys have to take the lemons from your tree, and put them in your team's respective baskets. You must work together as a team for this challenge, or obviously, you will fail. The team to have the most lemons in their basket at the end of a three minute time period wins. Got it? Well actually, I had a question about- START! (climbs Team Epic's tree and gets to the top) Show off. (Nickel throws lemons, they hit Baseball, Paintbrush grabs them. Nickel drops something brown on Baseball, leaving him shocked) Sorry dude, I just couldn't hold that one in! (puts three lemons into their team basket) Let's use the useless one to our advantage. (kicks Taco up tree) (stutters) OK, that was kinda harsh. Who cares? It worked, didn't it? Hurry up, Taco, give us the lemons! SOUR CREAM! (stutters)

nevermind theres a limit :(

Hey, teacher! Part 8 (Catwin motorcycle au)

Thomas to the rescue x

"My God… is that your friend, Edwin?" Esther sneers, horrified.

"Oh yes," he acts casual. Like this isn't completely bizarre. "It appears he was able to make it after all." Edwin politely excuses himself, pointedly doesn't walk away at full speed like a man escaping a death sentence.

By the time he reaches Thomas on the street, at least 7 children have gathered around the shiny novelty of his bike, some of them are actually touching it. One child is gripping the handle bars and making 'vroom' noises. Thomas stands by, looking amused, answering their overlapping questions as best he can. When he notices Edwin, he smiles broadly, winking mischievously.

Edwin comes to a stop, lifts one eyebrow at him.

"I've come to rescue you, ghostie." Thomas announces, like its an obvious answer to a question Edwin didn’t pose. "This is real shit, isn't it? There isn't even any music. What kinda picnic is this?" Some of the children giggle at the curse word. "Also, babe, you’ve been here less than an hour and already you look fuckin' miserable." Edwin visibly deflates. He had been under the impression that he'd done a faily good job of hiding it. "Don't curse in front of the children." Is all he can think of. Right after, the realization that Thomas just called him babe comes barrelling through, and that is now all he can think of.

"Well, come on then." Thomas throws his leg over, sits back on the motorcycle, pats the seat behind him.

Edwin stares.

Thomas stares back.

Edwin’s mouth opens but it takes a second try to form the "What."

"Come on, we're going home. There’s wine in the kitchen, and I’m pretty sure I saw a real nice vintage record player in the living room."

"Thomas, I." Edwin shrugs helplessly, at a loss for words. "I can't just leave. And definitely not on that."

"Course you can leave. Come on, say goodbye to- oops, here she comes." Thomas, vagrant that he is, can't even bother to hide the absolute glee spreading over his face.

Heart in his throat, Edwin whirls around, sees Esther breezing towards them, a look of murder in her eyes. He braces himself, then deflates like a punctured balloon animal, with a slight wheeze he can’t quite smother behind a hand, when Thomas beats him to the punch, loudly. "Good afternoon! I remember you, tittering about yesterday, yeah? Never quite got your name, mine’s Thomas, Thomas King.”

"Charmed." Esther clips out, curt, glancing at Thomas’ outstretched hand with disdain.

"Pleasure's all mine, ma'am." Thomas quips, smoothly pulling his hand back, turning the motion into a tip of a hat that's not there, leans forward. "Say, you had a good look at her yesterday, I got her all cleaned up just earlier,” Thomas pats the bike’s seat, smiles wide, on the edge of too much so, "can I interest you in a ride around the block?" He pats the seat again, tilting his head just a bit to the side, towards her, making sure that Esther catches the challenge, the confidence in the invitation.

Esther almost reels, recoiling with disgust. "That's a very emphatic NO from me, Mr. King. Edwin, dear boy, do come back when you're,” she waves her hand in the air, gesturing in the vague direction of where Thomas is practically preening, perched on his shining bike, arms crossed, “done, with all this." Her message is clear. Get rid of him. She stalks away, every muscle in her body so tense, Edwin is surprised she can walk at all. When he turns back to Thomas, he sees him offer a cheeky fingerwave at her retreating back.

When Edwin gives in to the urge to swat his arm, Thomas laughs and laughs, giggles like a child that's just pulled off a particularly dirty prank, looks just as faux-ashamed only when he fully refocuses on Edwin, and his wide-eyed stare at him. "You do realize, I'll pay for that later?" Edwin whispers from behind his clenched teeth.

"Ghostie. What's she gonna do? Come on, now's your chance. Hop on." He scoots forward, making room.

"I told you, I can't. I, I just-"

"Edwin." Thomas looks him right in the eye, expression serious. "Don't worry. It's just a picnic. It'll go on without you. Who cares about what Esther says anyway? Who cares about the people who would care about what an absolute witch like Esther says?"

The sound of his name coming out of Thomas's mouth is what calms him. Yet at the same time, his heart rate triples, he feels a surge of adrenaline. "I won't fall off?" He eyes the thin strip of seat behind the other man. It doesn't look at all secure. "Not if you hold on." Thomas starts the engine with a wink, and the nearby hovering cloud of children all exclaim in wonder at the noise, laughing, covering their ears. Some of their parents look decidedly displeased. Edwin takes a deep breath, wipes his sweaty palms on his overcoat, forces himself to throw a leg over the motorcycle, tucking up close to Thomas, an arm around his torso. "Sorry." he apologizes over the din of the engine, though he's not sure for what exactly. For touching him?

"S'alright, babe. Hold on, we're going to be making a quick exit. The wicked witch is decidedly not happy." Thomas pulls a pair of sunglasses out of his pocket, the motorcycle jerks forward, scaring Edwin half to death. He reflexively clings harder, pretending he didn't make a high-pitched yelp out of fear. He doesn't dare look back, to see people's reactions as the motorcycle roars away. He doesn't even want to entertain the thought of how Esther Finch is going to handle him running off without saying goodbye.

They've gone through two corners, when Edwin realizes he's still clinging to Thomas, perhaps a little too hard. He tries to loosen his grip, he really does, but every time the motorcycle makes the slightest motion underneath his legs, he's worried that their equilibrium will be shattered and he'll go spiraling to the pavement. Also, it's an easy excuse to hold him without any guilt. This was Thomas's idea, after all. Edwin is blameless for clinging. He presses the side of his face against the leather-clad back in front of him. The smell of leather is divine, and he can feel Thomas's ribcage expanding with each breath. It's nice. It's very nice. Edwin almost wishes he lived further away.

Thomas pulls to a stop, neatly, in the middle of the driveway. He cuts the engine, glancing over his shoulder with a grin. "See? World didn't end." Edwin releases his squid-like grip on that leather jacket, rather unsteadily dismounts the bike, trying to calm his quaking knees. "Actually, there were a few turns back there that almost proved you wrong." A bucket is placed against the garage door, probably used by Thomas when he cleaned his bike. Thomas laughs good naturedly when Edwin gives it a calculating stare, just for effect. Edwin can’t help but smile, a touch wry, marvelling just a bit inside, how easy he now falls into this, this kind of banter, teasing, with someone he didn’t even know 3 days ago.

He looks at the bike once more, and it occurs to him, again, that he has just ditched Esther at the church picnic, in front of essentially the entire town. Not only that, but he did it clinging to the back of a man on a motorcycle. Edwin needs a good, big glass of wine, and he needs it now. He pinches the bridge of his nose. "Alright, let's have a drink, before I spend any more time thinking about what I've just done."

Thomas slaps him on the shoulder with a smile, letting his hand drift to the small of Edwin’s back, and leads them both inside the house.

My game dev journey is inching forward slowly. I'm still very far from being able to create anything proper, but so far I have worked on a tutorial project even a little almost every day, so there's at least some progress.

The whole thing started when I thought of how I would like to have this one feature in a farming sim, but that I've never seen it in any of the ones I now, and was kind of pissed about it. But when I thought about it for more than 10 seconds it became very clear that it's not something you could just slap on at the end and would instead require the whole game to be built around it. Then I started to come up with ways how it could be implemented and- hey, Stardew Valley was made by just one guy right? Not that whatever I would create would be, like, good, because I am not the Stardew Valley guy, but it's still an encouraging thought that making a full game on your own is possible. So after 2-3 failed attempts several years earlier I downloaded Unity again and started looking at tutorials.

While working through early tutorials I was quite aware that a farming sim would be way too ambitious of a project for a first game and that I should start with something simpler. Luckily I had had a different idea of a magical girl RPG earlier, whose scope would be more manageable, so I changed plans to that. Also I remembered a tumblr post about a magical girl mascot themed manager simulator, which also super inspired me, but let's stick to top down 2d games now.

However the more I thought about my mahou rpg idea it became apparent that it too would be way too much, like I've envisioned turn based combat on a grid where I would have to write pathfinding for the AI, and you would have ally mahous whose behaviour changes based on your friendship level, and there would be a branching story and yeah this isn't going to fly either, it's best to scale down.

So the next idea was to just make the most basic version of walk around in an overworld + separate combat scene, rip it off pokemon or something, like the bare minimum that counts as a game. The plot can be DPPC fighting the monster of the week or something. Then again there's five of them and I don't want to have to deal with multiple player characters at once, so let's just give each of them their own stage. It ought to help build familiarity with the engine if I do the same simple thing five times.

So that is the current goal! Seems something that I could actually achieve too so let's hope for the best. Then again while thinking about this DPPC idea I also realised that if it works out I could actually try telling the main DPPC story with a video game; if you remember I once agonised that after the death of Flash there hasn't really been a medium for me to use on the DPPC story, because I can't write prose, or use comic book storytelling, or create animations (nor do I care to learn). But this could be the solution! Then again I don't think the DPPC story is that well suited for a video game since it has multiple/rotating protagonists and a lot of the story is told through flashbacks, but it should be possible to cram it in somehow. So that is idea number 5!

Mind you I am still not out of the tutorial phase of learning to use Unity, and here I am with multiple multi-year game project ideas. But it's so much fun thinking about them! I've felt super inspired these past few weeks and it feels great! I will actually do the small DPPC thing first though and then figure out if I want to have anything to do with game dev any more after that. Also of course the ideas for the DPPC "demo" have ballooned in scope before I've even started it, but hopefully I'll manage to stick to the basics when I actually see what it's like to implement it.

Right now the plan is to catch up with the ongoing tutorial series I've been following, and after that start a new project for DPPC. Let's see how it goes!

posting my ben 10 oc Evelyn's first playlist! i mentioned in the first post that her watch works by reboot logic where she only has 1 playlist at a time so idk if i'll design another playlist or not.

anyways, all the aliens in Evelyn's playlist are non-canon aliens that I redesigned slightly. it was kinda fun trying to figure out ways of creating sexual dimorphism in the non-canon aliens that aren't just "give the aliens tits" like what the actual Ben 10 series tends to do.

TRANSFORMATION 01: "FORMLESS ONE"

This one was Evelyn's first transformation & is the equivalent of the non-canon alien "Caet" from a korean Ben 10 comic. This was the alien that also made Evelyn believe the watch turned her into demons because this thing looks way more demonic that extraterrestrial. She was initially used when Evelyn first put on the watch. She didn't burn down a whole forest, but definitely scared several campers & probably started a couple horror stories in the process.

Formless One can stretch & contort their body near endlessly à la Mister Fantastic. She can sort of shapeshift but it's fairly rudimentary as she has to physically weave her body into shapes like a balloon animal.

Since the species are shapeshifters, I imagined there wouldn't really be any sexual dimorphism to speak of. I don't even know if they'd have genders to begin with.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRANSFORMATION 02: "BISECTED MIND"

The equivalent of the non-canon alien "Shadowman" who was made for an alien design competition. Evelyn first used this alien during a fight with an alien drone similarly to Ben's first fight as Wildmutt.

Bisected Mind can merge their form with any shadow, allowing them to fully sink into it & disappear. They can travel between connected shadows & pop back out of them at high speeds, making this alien very evasive. They can also perform anatomical liberation when merged with the shadows, allowing her to shift her limbs away from each other in ways that she couldn't normally do. Evelyn's favourite thing to do as this alien is to hide in a shadow, wait for someone to walk over & pop her limbs out at random & grab peoples ankles to trip em up.

Like with Formless One, I couldn't really imagine how to diversify between male & female members of the species. The patterns were mainly just added for extra flair since the design was a little too plain for my liking.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRANSFORMATION 03: "REALITY'S RULER"

The equivalent of the non-canon alien "Portaler" from an old Omniverse flash game: Fuel Run. This alien was first used to fend off against a giant mech (the same one that Ben fought during his first transformation as Diamondhead).

Reality's Ruler can create short-range portals to travel in quickly. She could theoretically create portals to anywhere, but it would take large amounts of effort (especially if she's trying to go somewhere she's never been to before). She can also curl into a ball but, unlike transformations like Cannonbolt, can't roll on her own without outside momentum. Evelyn is known to curl into a ball & conjure portals to fling herself at enemies & bounce off into another portal to repeat the process like a living pinball game.

The first alien with actual differences between genders. In hindsight I probably should've done something based on actual dimorphism in beetles but oh well. Whereas males come in RGB colours, females come in CYM (cyan, yellow, magenta). Females have spikes on their shells rather than bumps & have a portal on their chest with a small planet-like structure inside, whereas males just have extra plating. The planet stomach thing was inspired by Anglow from My Singing Monsters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRANSFORMATION 04: "EARTHEN SHUDDER"

The equivalent of the non-canon alien "Rocks" from a live-action play in Asia i think. Unrelated fun fact, Rocks & Squidstrictor are the only non-canon aliens to ever recieve merch! This alien was first used to fight a group of bounty hunters who came to take the Omnitrix from Evelyn.

Earthen Shudder is Evelyn's Four Arms in the sense that they're stupidly strong & also a go-to transformation for the user. They're incredibly strong & can manipulate the earth using precise foot taps & stomps. It mentioned on the wiki that Rocks had "environmental adaptation" (it's not there anymore for some reason) so I took that & ran with it. She can mimic other minerals at will when touching them & occassionally gain new abilities based on said mineral. It also works for other mineral-based species like Galilieans or Petrosapiens, so she could gain gravity control from Galilean stone or crystal projectiles from Petrosapiens.

Females of this species are often thinner & ganglier. Their bodies are composed of two main layers of stone, the outer yellow layer & the internal "skeletal layer" which is much tougher. Females tend to show off more of this skeletal layer than males do. Earthen Shudder's body is more lopsided than Rocks's but that was only a stylistic choice.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRANSFORMATION 05: "MOTHER TONGUE"

The equivalent of the non-canon alien "Mealymouth" which was originally a name-only joke alien made by Matt Wayne before being given a design years later by Tom Perkins. This alien was first used during a fight against Rojo, where they almost instantly became Evelyn's favourite transformation because of how strong they were.

Mother Tongue has around 7 mouths on her head, all of which speak with a different voice. These voices each have hypnotic inflections that make people submissive to her commands. She says singular command words, which people are forced to act out on if she tells them to. Depending on which mouth she uses, she'll be able to control different parts of people's body. She can control the body with one mouth, their emotions with another, their senses with her eye-mouths and speaking with all mouths at once? Absolute sensory overload & immensely painful for the recipient. Evelyn claims she's totally not sadistic but then calls this thing her favourite alien like yeah sure we totally believe you uh huh definitely

Females of this species do not have conventional eyes like the males do, instead having more mouths where eyes would be. This means their hypnotic capabilities are much stronger at the cost of more basic vision. Evelyn sees through the eyebrow-like whiskers, but can only see in black and white. Females also have less fingers than the males. Males have 7 fingers on one hand & 8 on the other, while females have 7 on both hands.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TRANSFORMATION 06: "POISONED SOUL"

The equivalent of the non-canon alien "Gurge" which was an alien exclusive to Ben 10K designed after an Incarcecon prisoner made by Tom Perkins. This alien was first used to defeat Sublimino who went down relatively easily given her abilities. This is Evelyn's least favourite alien on the principle of how absolutely disgusting they are. She says she doesn't like the nausea inducement & apparently doesn't like messing with people's bodies... even though her favourite alien is Mother Tongue but yknow what sure why not

Poisoned Soul has a freakishly long tongue that can extend up to 50ft in length. It's big, beefy, gross & has a several tiny barbs on the tip filled with a weapons-grade nausea-inducing venom. Said venom is incredibly powerful & induces such powerful nausea in recipients that it causes them to collapse in a heap & vomit violently from all of their orifices, often causing blood to mix with the vomit as well. It's an overall unholy sight to watch & Evelyn more often than not refuses to look at the recipients when she does use this alien, although it's pretty hard to look away given her eyes wrap all the way around her head.

Not much is different between males & females of the species. I imagined the species to be mammalian & I didn't have any ideas on how to diversify males & females so all I really did was give them a bulkier build & boobs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and finally...

TRANSFORMATION 07: "NATURE'S MOCKERY"

The equivalent of the non-canon alien "Plantapocalypse", who was designed as a joke alien for a commercial about aliens who suck & should never be in the Omnitrix. This alien is arguably Evelyn's most dangerous & was first used during a fight with Clancy where she LITERALLY FUCKING ATE HIM ALIVE. Evelyn only uses this alien in dire situations because of how unpredictable it is.

Nature's Mockery has the ability to ingest matter, organic or not, and digest it instantly. Upon digestion, Nature's Mockery will grow in size & strength depending on the mass of what she's eaten. The problem is that this alien is in a constant state of mindless hunger & has no known growth limit, meaning Nature's Mockery can & will eat everything in sight in order to grow. It is possible that, if Evelyn did not regulate this alien & there was no timeout function on her Omnitrix, Nature's Mockery's size could become so great that it envelops the entire earth in just a few hours.

Females of this species do not have many noticeable differences compared to the males. The most notable difference is the prescence of eyelash-like protrusions above their eyes, tiny markings underneath the eyes & slightly thicker roots for storing extra fat. Females also overproduce on pollen, often causing visible yellow clouds to form around her face & inducing sneezing & possible allergic reactions in others nearby.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and that's all of evelyn's transformations! i'll probably post something else tomorrow too since there's still more art to share but i might start designing villains after that.
